Chapter 224 I Don't Want to Get My Hands Dirty



Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes, looking at her smiling face, her thin lips curving into a gentle, spring-like smile.

He heard that sentence too.

Thinking of the comment "arranged marriage between wealthy families, no feelings," a cold glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's eyes. To avoid misunderstandings, he would treat his wife better in the future and shut those people up on their own!

"Husband, we..."

Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, a phone call suddenly came in.

Her first thought was that it was her older cousin, and she was a little conflicted about whether to answer or not.

If possible, she wants to wait until Xiao Bao wakes up before returning to the capital.

Gu Yunzhen noticed her hesitation and reached out her hand, saying, "Give me the phone, I'll answer it."

"No, what if he insults you?"

Shangguan Wu wanted the call to hang up automatically, but it rang again less than three seconds after it stopped ringing.

There's nothing we can do about it.

She could only slowly take out her phone, and when she saw that the caller ID on the screen was her third cousin, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I answered the phone, Qin Yichen's voice came through: "Little cousin, why aren't you and Gu Si at Gu Garden? Didn't you go back to Changteng City?"

Shangguan Wu asked in surprise, "You're at Gu Garden?"

"Yes, didn't you save the children of Tamzhai? Village chief Ma Shengqiang asked me to bring you some local specialties, as well as two sacks of herbs that they collected in the mountains recently. They've been prepared according to your instructions. Come back and take a look."

The image of the village chief's weathered face flashed through Shangguan Wu's mind.

"Okay, we'll be right back."

Those people were after her; the children were just innocent bystanders. She never expected the village chief to send her gifts.

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Wu frowned: "It was clearly me who dragged those children into this mess. It's only right that I save them. Besides, the houses in Tamzhai collapsed due to the natural disaster, which made our already poor family even worse off. It would be good to send the herbs we collected to the hospital to exchange for money."

There are many medicinal herbs in the deep mountains, and she had thought about letting the villagers of Tamzhai become herb farmers and make money by selling herbs.

But there are also many wild animals in the deep mountains.

She thought of black bears, and the wild boars, wolves, and other aggressive carnivores she had seen during the earthquake, and dismissed the idea.

Money is important, but life is more important!

Gu Yunzhen raised her hand to smooth her furrowed brows and reminded her in a low voice, "Didn't you send Qin San with supplies? You can return the favor."

Oh right, she can reciprocate!

Shangguan Wu's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at the man beside her: "Husband."

After not hearing her continue, Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."

Gu Yunzhen's eyes deepened, and he tightened his grip on her hand slightly. After taking a couple of steps, he couldn't resist leaning down to whisper in her ear, his low, husky voice escaping his thin lips: "Call out a few more times in bed later."

With a loud bang!

Shangguan Wu's brain seemed to explode, and colorful fireworks bloomed, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Her cheeks flushed crimson, and gradually her ears and neck also felt hot.

"You filthy scoundrel!"

Shangguan Wu said coquettishly, then suddenly shook off his hand and hurriedly ran towards the black Maybach not far away.

Gu Yunzhen watched her flee in panic, a smile appearing between his brows. As she ran further and further away, he took long strides and chased after her.

The two stopped in front of the car.

Gu Yunzhen opened the car door with one hand and used the other hand to protect her head from bumping it.

Shangguan Wu bent down and got into the car.

Gu Yunzhen then got into the car.

Shangguan Wu checked the time and turned to look at him: "Let's go to the city's central hospital first."

Xiao Bao hasn't woken up yet.

Gu Yunzhen frowned slightly and gave a deep "hmm".

The Maybach drove out of the stadium and sped towards the city center hospital.

Shangguan Wu looked down, opened an app on her phone, found two familiar stores that were just across the street from the city's central hospital, and ordered a bunch of takeout.

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to pull her into his arms.

Shangguan Wu looked up and met his gentle gaze, her eyebrows gradually curving into crescent shapes.

Neither of them spoke, yet their silence spoke volumes.

???

Since Gu Yilou had decided to divorce, he was determined to make a clean break. Gu's chief lawyer drafted the divorce agreement and then flew to Changteng City.

Qin Yiheng was also accompanying them.

Upon learning that Xiao Bao was seriously injured and in critical condition, Qin Yiheng headed to the international airport with a mountain of work to do.

I met Gu's chief lawyer in the airport lobby.

So the two of them traveled together.

After getting off the plane, we went straight to the city center hospital.

When Gu Yilou saw Qin Yiheng, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "You've come."

Qin Yiheng nodded at him, his tone unfriendly: "Where is that woman?"

Gu Yilou knew he was referring to Jiang Yu, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Gu's chief lawyer took out a divorce agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Yilou, saying, "Mr. Gu, your divorce agreement has been drafted. Do you see any places that need to be modified?"

Gu Yilou's expression stiffened slightly before he reached out and took it.

Qin Yiheng's expression changed drastically: "You want a divorce?"

Gu Yilou's eyelids twitched. He looked down at the contents of the divorce agreement, didn't look at him, and calmly uttered a single word: "Hmm."

Qin Yiheng stared intently at him, then narrowed his eyes after a moment.

He thought that Gu Yilou would be bound to that good-for-nothing Jiang Yu for the rest of his life because of some so-called favor.

But he actually wants a divorce?

What did Jiang Yu do?

Could it be related to Xiao Bao's injury?

If so, then Jiang Yu truly deserves to die!

A murderous glint flashed in Qin Yiheng's eyes.

Gu Yilou felt his burning gaze, which was impossible to ignore. He cleared his throat twice and looked up to see his cold and stern expression.

He thought for a moment before speaking, "Aheng."

Qin Yiheng knew what he wanted to say just by looking at his eyes, and scoffed coldly: "You're about to get a divorce, and you still want to protect her?"

Gu Yilou shook his head: "No, I just don't want Xiaobao to be sad."

Yes, Xiao Bao still has that woman's blood in his veins.

Qin Yiheng snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I don't want to get my hands dirty."

Gu Yilou chuckled helplessly before continuing to read the divorce agreement.

Qin Yiheng glanced at him, walked out of the rest room, and came to the door of the intensive care unit next door. Looking at Xiao Bao lying on the hospital bed, he sighed softly.

This little rascal is always sick. I hope that after this, he can grow up healthy.

However, with his little cousin around, he'll definitely be able to recover.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

"Big cousin? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Qin Yiheng, Shangguan Wu blurted out words of shock.

The next second, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she added, "As long as Xiaobao gets through tonight safely, he can be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow."

Qin Yiheng scoffed, "What, you don't want to see me?"

Shangguan Wu shook his head vigorously: "No!"

After saying that, she pulled her hand out of Gu Yunzhen's palm.

With her palm suddenly empty, Gu Yunzhen lowered her eyes and looked sharply at Qin Yiheng.
