Shangguan Xue said helplessly, "Don't you know how long you and Mom spend traveling in Changteng City? That's why my second sister told me not to tell you."
Shangguan Lin: ...
He wasn't home because he was too lazy to attend those banquets, but now it's different. There might be a wolf in sheep's clothing at home, and he has to stay to protect his family.
He looked at his little girl and noticed she was lost in thought: "Wu Bao, what are you thinking about?"
Shangguan Wu suddenly came to his senses.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking that my aunt's brother is going to jail, and she'll probably come looking for me."
Actually, she was thinking about her second sister in her previous life who participated in this girl group audition. She ate an unknown substance that damaged her vocal cords, forcing her to withdraw from the competition with regret. Later, she learned that it was Shangguan Xinyi who had caused it.
Shangguan Lin asked in confusion, "Why is she looking for you while her brother is in jail?"
"They probably think it's related to me."
It's best if she doesn't look for one.
She came looking for him, but Shangguan Wu wasn't afraid.
Shangguan Lin frowned deeply.
Shangguan Xue was surprised. In her memory, her aunt was a gentle, intellectual and easy-going elder. It was hard to believe that her aunt would be unable to distinguish right from wrong, but she trusted her own family more.
"Dad, little sister, are you referring to Auntie when you say 'demons and monsters'?"
"Not only that."
Shangguan Wu began to tell the little white rabbit about what had happened that week.
From Shangguan Xinyi's scheme to make her lose her virginity to Chu Caijun hiring someone to kill her, Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xue were filled with indignation.
Shangguan Xue frowned deeply and said angrily, "The name Shangguan can't be written with a single stroke. We're family. She wants to ruin you just because of a man? How can she be so narrow-minded and vicious? This is truly terrifying!"
Shangguan Wu said at the right moment, "Uncle is Grandpa's adopted son, not his biological son."
Shangguan Xue: "Huh?"
Shangguan Lin: How did you know?
Shangguan Wu explained, "I overheard it by accident, which is why I was wary of my cousin. I never expected her to actually harm me. Luckily, I managed to avoid her."
There's no way to dodge it.
Shangguan Xue looked at her beautiful younger sister. Originally, she should have married a man of great talent, been cared for and protected, and lived a happy and fulfilling life. But she was forced to marry a disabled man and had to take care of him instead...
Seeing her expression, Shangguan Wu knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Big sister, my husband treats me very well."
When Shangguan Lin heard her say how good Gu Yunzhen was, her nostrils almost reached the sky.
Around 11:30.
The person Qin Xiaoxian sent to deliver the meal took the same elevator upstairs as Uncle Zhang and walked together to the door of the ward.
Zhang Bo had been guessing whether the other party was from the Shangguan family, and it turned out to be true.
There were eight dishes on each side, and they couldn't fit on one table. In the end, the fruit on the coffee table was moved aside, and some of the dishes were placed on the coffee table.
Shangguan Xue originally wanted to feed her younger sister, but when she saw her brother-in-law carrying the bowl over, she decided to take a look instead.
"Honey, I don't want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
When Shangguan Wu saw the food he picked up, her face immediately fell.
"You can order anything that's on the table."
Gu Yunzhen's deep, magnetic voice conveyed a sense of patience.
Shangguan Wu looked up at the dining table.
Pork rib and corn soup, red date and black chicken soup, steamed fish, three-delicacy tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steamed egg custard... I didn't see a single one with a spicy flavor.
"Never mind, whatever."
Shangguan Wu looked completely listless.
"It tastes just as good without spice, you should try it first." Gu Yunzhen brought a spoonful of steamed egg custard to her lips.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu's eyes lit up, and he instantly became energetic.
He was actually comforting her?
Her eyes curved into crescents with joy.
Gu Yunzhen would feed Shangguan Wu a bite, and then feed her another bite, always at just the right pace so that she wouldn't choke.
Shangguan Xue thought this brother-in-law was alright.
After the meal, Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xue left together.
After resting for ten minutes, Shangguan Wu looked at Gu Yunzhen, whose face was cold and aloof, and asked, "Husband, did you bring my silver needles?"
Gu Yunzhen took out her silver needle pouch from her suit pocket and placed it beside her.
Shangguan Wu blinked, patted the hospital bed and said, "Lie down here, I'll give you acupuncture."
Gu Yunzhen lowered her eyes.
A moment later, he calmly walked around to the other side of the hospital bed, got on the bed, took off his suit trousers, and sat against the headboard.
"This is troublesome."
"It's not troublesome at all."
Shangguan Wu looked up and smiled brightly, then turned around. As her gaze moved from his handsome face to his thighs, he happened to cover them with a thin blanket.
She saw nothing, blinked, and moved to his calf.
Just like the first time, Shangguan Wu slightly lifted his leg, pinched his calf muscles, and waited for him to relax before starting to insert the needles.
But it's also a little different.
She was so close to him that her breath sprayed freely onto his legs, raising goosebumps.
Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed deeply and never relaxed.
He pressed his fists against the bed.
With great self-control, I resisted that tingling and itchy feeling.
He wouldn't allow himself to make a fool of himself again!
At this moment, Shangguan Wu was very serious, and each needle insertion was fast, steady, and accurate.
But more and more sweat was beading on her forehead, and her face gradually turned pale at a visible speed.
Because acupuncture requires obtaining qi first, one must concentrate and focus their mind when inserting the needle, which consumes some mental energy.
If Shangguan Wu hadn't been injured, her reaction wouldn't have been so strong.
She casually wiped her sweat with a tissue.
Gu Yunzhen saw this and her thin lips pressed into a cold line.
Because she was too tired, Shangguan Wu didn't deliberately provoke him this time.
Half an hour later, she took the needles, put them back in the silver needle bag, and handed them to Gu Yunzhen: "Honey, please take this back and disinfect it."
She lay limply on the bed, her left hand resting weakly on Gu Yunzhen's thigh.
A cool sensation made Gu Yunzhen's pupils dilate.
He quickly took the silver needle pouch, pushed her hand away, moved his legs to the side, and put on his trousers.
Shangguan Wu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him: "Husband, do you know what you just did? You're a heartless scumbag who dumps his lover and then tries to run away after using her."
Gu Yunzhen frowned.
After putting on his pants, he parted his thin lips slightly and said, "I asked the doctor, and he said you can drink milk tea."
"I want a Yulan Latte!"
Shangguan Wu immediately beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Alright, go back and take a medicinal bath."
But before Gu Yunzhen could get out of bed, an uninvited guest arrived at the ward.
Shangguan Wu frowned as he looked at Chu Mingshu who barged in. What were Du Wei and Gu Shiyi doing?
In an instant, Gu Yunzhen's eyes sharpened like a blade.
Chu Mingshu seemed oblivious to the fact that the two were not welcoming him. She smiled and looked at Gu Yunzhen, asking, "Nephew-in-law, may I speak with Fourth Sister alone?"
Through the investigation over the past two days, she had a gut feeling that this man didn't like Shangguan Wu at all!
