Yan Yirou did not run towards the main gate.
She knew that even if she ran out the gate, the bodyguards would catch up and take her back, because there was only one road in front of the Yan family's house.
So she did the opposite and ran to hide in the garden.
Yu Wan finally answered after two phone calls.
"Yu Wan! I am Yan Yirou, and I would like to ask you for a favor."
Yu Wan on the other end of the phone was quite surprised that Yan Yirou had actually called to ask for her help. However, thinking of the kindness Yan Yirou had shown her, she said, "Tell me, as long as it's within my power, I'll help you."
Yan Yirou breathed a sigh of relief, extremely glad that she had reminded Yu Wan earlier, which earned her Yu Wan's help. She lowered her voice and said, "I would like to ask you to help me contact the Fourth Young Madam and ask her to come to the Yan family to rescue me. In return, I will tell her about the Fourth Young Master's leg ailment. Yu Wan, please convey my words to the Fourth Young Madam without missing a single word. Thank you!"
The reason she didn't ask her group of friends for help was because they couldn't see Shangguan Wu at all, nor did they have her contact information.
The phone was silent.
Yu Wan pondered whether what Yan Yirou said was true or false.
Shangguan Wu had helped her, so she couldn't let Shangguan Wu get hurt.
Yan Yirou waited quietly for her reply, without urging her. If the Yan family really went to any lengths to force her to marry into the Ji family, she wouldn't mind ruining the entire Yan family. Whoever made her unhappy, she would make sure no one else could have a good life!

That evening, after dinner, Shangguan Wu went back to his room early.
She was removing her makeup in the bathroom.
Gu Yunzhen crossed her arms and leaned her tall body against the bathroom door, watching Shangguan Wu remove her makeup. She found every movement of Shangguan Wu's so pleasing to the eye.
After Shangguan Wu removed her makeup, she saw his gaze and smiled, "You like looking at me so much?"
Gu Yunzhen replied, "I never get tired of looking at it."
Immediately, Shangguan Wu's smile deepened, and she gave him a charming wink: "Want to take a bath together?"
Gu Yunzhen was suddenly taken aback.
"123!"
Shangguan Wu quickly said three numbers, then said with a regretful tone, "Since you didn't answer, I'll take that as a refusal!"
After saying that, she tried to push him out.
However, the moment her hand touched his chest, she grabbed him. Gu Yunzhen's thin lips curved into a wicked smile: "Playing with fire with me?"
His slightly upturned tone at the end of his voice had a hook-like quality, making Shangguan Wu's heart itch.
"Honey, I'm so tired today." She admitted defeat and begged for mercy.
"Yes, I'll serve you."
Gu Yunzhen didn't give her a chance to refuse. He hooked her in his arms, picked her up, and carried her towards the bath.
"Honey, I have something to tell you, mmm..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen sealed her lips with a kiss.
This bathhouse wasn't as big as the one in Gu Garden, but it was big enough for two people to play around in.
The bathroom was filled with steam, while cell phones rang incessantly outside.
When Shangguan Wu was carried out and got his phone, he discovered that Yu Wan had called thirteen times.
Shangguan Wu's heart tightened, thinking that Yu Wan had encountered an accident and was asking her for help, so she quickly called her.
The call was answered almost as soon as it rang.
"Yu Wan, are you alright?"
Hearing Shangguan Wu's concerned words, Yu Wan smiled and replied, "I'm fine. Is it a convenient time for you to take this call now?"
Shangguan Wu glanced at Gu Yunzhen, who was full beside her, and said two words: "Convenient."
"Here's the thing, Yan Yirou called me around 5 p.m. She asked me to ask you for help, to go to the Yan family and rescue her. In return, she will tell you about the Fourth Young Master's leg ailment."
Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Gu Yunzhen suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on her phone.
Shangguan Wu was startled and quickly switched to her left hand to hold the phone and make the call.
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow, holding her right hand as if he were playing with an antique, unable to put it down.
Shangguan Wu couldn't even pull her hand back.
He held her firmly in his grasp.
On the phone, Yu Wan apologized: "I'm sorry, Wu Bao. I didn't know if it was true or not at the time, so I didn't tell you. Later, I sent someone to the Yan family secretly and found that Yan Yirou was indeed locked in a room. Did I delay your business?"
Shangguan Wu reassured her, "It's alright, you've thought of everything, thank you."
"When are you planning to go to the Yan family? Do you need me to go with you?" Yu Wan asked.
It was very late, and she could only go tomorrow morning, but Shangguan Wu's right hand was suddenly bitten by Gu Yunzhen, and she looked at him in disbelief.
Was he born in the Year of the Dog?
Shangguan Wu glared at him as she said, "I'll do it tomorrow morning, uh..."
Caught off guard, Shangguan Wu's bitten hand was licked by the dog-like man, and her heart suddenly raced.
Yu Wan, on the other end of the phone, thought she had disturbed the couple's harmony, and said very quickly, "Sorry, Wu Bao, call me when you want to go. I won't bother you anymore, bye."
He ended the call before Shangguan Wu could respond.
Shangguan Wu: "..."
She felt she had been misunderstood!
Shangguan Wu glared at Gu Yunzhen with annoyance: "What are you doing?"
Gu Yunzhen stared intently at her with his deep gaze: "I can tell you what you want to know without being threatened by her."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement.
Shangguan Wu cleared his throat: "Where did you hide the suona?"
Gu Yunzhen's expression froze for a moment.
Shouldn't she be asking him who was behind the car accident?
He actually has a special fondness for the suona!
A sly glint flashed in Shangguan Wu's watery eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Answer me, didn't you say you would tell me everything?"
Gu Yunzhen caught that sly look and knew she was doing it on purpose. She was both annoyed and amused: "I didn't hide it. Gu Shiyi didn't send it over."
Shangguan Wu gave him a look that said, "Do you think I'd believe that?", letting him figure it out for himself.
"Cough cough."
Gu Yunzhen coughed lightly, feeling awkward.
Shangguan Wu suddenly lay down, snuggled into his arms to find a comfortable position, and then asked, "Your car accident was deliberate, do you know who it was?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Know."
He said it casually: "He is a member of the Fatroyan royal family, and he had a leg amputated and was fitted with a prosthesis."
Shangguan Wu paused slightly, realizing that the mastermind was actually a member of the Fatroya Empire's royal family.
"Does he know it was you who did it?"
"No evidence."
It was as if he knew the other party had used deadly force.
Shangguan Wu asked again, "Why is he targeting you?"
Suddenly, Gu Yunzhen's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Shangguan Wu's beautiful eyes widened: "Could it be because of a woman? The woman he likes likes you, so he wants to get rid of you?"
Gu Yunzhen hugged her tighter: "Go to sleep."
Shangguan Wu clicked his tongue and asked curiously, "What's the name of the woman who likes you?"
Gu Yunzhen said helplessly, "Madam, many people like you. Do you remember their names?"
Shangguan Wu blurted out, "I remember!"
Gu Yunzhen: "..."
