The car was parked in front of the villa's steps.
Shangguan Wu reluctantly got off the car.
Gu Yunzhen frowned: "It's cold outside, come inside quickly."
"Honey, let me know when you get home!" She said, wrapped in her coat, turning back to look at herself every step she took.
Gu Yunzhen shook her head: "It's too late, I won't send a message. You get some sleep, see you tomorrow."
Shangguan Wu glared at him, annoyed: "Remember to bring a photo of yourself in women's clothing tomorrow!"
Gu Yunzhen: "..."
What could he do but appease her?
"Okay, I'll definitely take you in. You can go in now."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "It's not Xiao Hei's brother!"
Seeing that she was talking more and more, Gu Yunzhen frowned and said, "Alright, go in quickly!"
His deep tone exuded an undeniable authority.
Shangguan Wu could only glance at him one more time before entering the villa.
After watching the villa door close, Gu Yunzhen gave the order: "Drive."
The car started and slowly drove out of the Qin family's house.
Inside the villa, Uncle Luo stepped forward with a smile: "Third Miss, you're back."
Shangguan Wu was astonished: "Uncle Luo isn't asleep yet?"
Uncle Luo smiled and handed her the bowl in his hand: "The eldest young master instructed me to wait for the third young lady to return so that you could drink ginger soup before going to sleep. Ginger soup can dispel cold and warm the body, so you can have a good sleep after drinking it."
Shangguan Wu smiled slightly, drank the ginger soup, and handed the bowl back to him: "Thank you, Uncle Luo."
"You're too kind, Miss. Please get some rest."
Goodnight, Uncle Luo.
As she went upstairs, she texted Gu Yunzhen: "Honey, remember to boil some water with ginger and brown sugar when you get home and drink a bowl to warm yourself up!"
Gu Yunzhen received her message and frowned in distress.
Should I reply to her, or not?
If he replies to her, he might inadvertently be led astray by her and continue the conversation, and she might end up talking about how he got home, which would be past midnight.
If I don't reply to her...
Gu Yunzhen didn't know if she would still talk to him tomorrow.
On the other side, after washing up, Shangguan Wu lay down on the bed. She glanced at her phone but still hadn't received a reply. She hummed in frustration, turned off her phone, and went to sleep.
The next day.
A light snow began to fall from the sky, the snowflakes drifting gently to the ground and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After Shangguan Wu finished breakfast with a group of elders, he and his cousin walked out of the villa and met Du Wei.
"Miss." Du Wei stepped forward.
Shangguan Wu nodded: "When did you arrive?"
Du Wei replied, "It came here last night with Fourth Young Master. Little Black is in the backyard. Would you like to go see it, Miss?"
Shangguan Wu was very surprised: "He didn't tell me last night!"
Du Wei fell silent.
Qin Yiheng, who was walking ahead, turned around and said, "Don't you know what kind of person your man is?"
Shangguan Wu wanted to roll her eyes at him, but thinking that Xiao Hei might not be used to the unfamiliar environment, she smiled slightly and said, "Big cousin, let's go see Xiao Hei first."
Qin Yiheng glanced at Du Wei, then walked towards the backyard.
Shangguan Wu quickly followed him, only to hear him ask, "Was it that dog that led Gu Si to you?"
Shangguan Wu proudly said, "I twisted my ankle, so I asked Xiao Hei to go out and ask for help. It happened to run into my husband. I had shown Xiao Hei to my husband during a video call, so he immediately guessed that it was Xiao Hei. He called out to it, and Xiao Hei brought it to me."
Qin Yiheng's lips twitched. He shouldn't have asked!
He said, "That dog is quite smart, and Gu Si is smart too."
Shangguan Wu glanced at him. Something about that sounded strange.
Qin Yiheng coughed twice: "Your bodyguard has something to say."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Du Wei: "Just say what you have to say. Your cousin is family, he can listen."
She deliberately emphasized the word "family".
He deliberately put her husband and dog together, implying that if her husband were a dog, then as a family member, he wouldn't escape the same fate either!
Qin Yiheng understood, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently twice.
Forget it, why is he arguing with a little girl?
At this moment, Du Wei said, "Miss, I saw Miss Rongrong in Xizhou City."
Unable to contain her excitement, Shangguan Wu asked, "You saw Rongrong? Is she alright? What is she doing?"
Du Wei answered one by one: "Miss Rongrong was delivering relief supplies. She was accompanied by ten bodyguards. I didn't get close, but I asked around and found out that Miss Rongrong was representing the Ji family of Xizhou City to help the people in the disaster area."
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Shangguan Wu frowned: "The Ji family of Xizhou City?"
The Ji family? Qin Yiheng curled his lips slightly.
Du Wei nodded: "Yes, but I don't know much about it. I only know that Miss Rongrong is the fiancée of Ji Xianli, the eldest son of the Ji family."
Shangguan Wu was quite surprised: "Rongrong is engaged?"
"It seems they were engaged when they were young. If you want to know the details, I'll have Liu Zhu investigate," Du Wei replied.
Shangguan Wu opened her mouth, but Qin Yiheng suddenly spoke up: "No need to investigate, I know."
Shangguan Wu suddenly looked at him: "Cousin, how did you know?"
Qin Yiheng said calmly, "I am an old acquaintance of the person in charge of the Ji family."
Well!
Shangguan Wu looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Suddenly, the sound of barking dogs rang out, and a dark figure ran towards her.
Shangguan Wu shouted happily, "Little Black!"
Little Black made a coquettish "hehe" sound with its nose, circled around her several times before stopping, nuzzled its head against her legs, and wagged its tail.
Shangguan Wu stroked its head: "You missed me? I missed you too~"
Little Black raised one of its front paws and placed it on her hand, barking, "Woof~"
Shangguan Wu shook his head: "I can't take you out today. I'll take you out to play when I get back, okay?"
