Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He walked over and hugged her, nodding and pressing his cheek against hers: "My lady, it's so good to have you."
"oops!"
Shangguan Wu blushed and pushed his head away: "Your hair isn't dry yet, it's a bit cold!"
Gu Yunzhen kissed her cheek, then let go of her and continued drying her hair.
He knew why she declined, which is why he said those heartfelt words.
—She is better than anyone else.
???
The following evening at eight o'clock, the night sky was filled with twinkling stars.
The Panlong Restaurant was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, making it even more festive than on New Year's Eve.
But there wasn't a single customer at the first floor.
The reason is simple: tonight is the day Gu Yunzhen and Shangguan Wu's parents meet.
The Gu family has booked the entire venue tonight.
The Gu and Shangguan families were all present. Since there were no elderly people in the Gu family, the Shangguan patriarch and matriarch were seated in the head seats.
Shangguan Wu and Gu Yunzhen were already married. Their parents meeting for a meal was just a formality to show their support for their marriage.
Although it was Ji Moyan's first time meeting Qin Xiaoxian, she chatted with Qin Xiaoxian very enthusiastically.
Her best friend married into the Qin family and had heard her talk about her missing sister-in-law. The Qin family never gave up the search, and thankfully, their efforts paid off, and the family was finally reunited.
Ji Moyan chatted with Qin Xiaoxian about the Qin family and then about her own family.
"Thank goodness for Wu Bao, the New Year celebrations are much more lively now."
That's too kind of you. The Gu family has four sons and a child; the New Year must be quite lively for them.
Qin Xiaoxian said sincerely, "Wu Bao is so lucky to have such a gentle and open-minded mother-in-law like you."
In ancient times, a woman's marriage was like a second reincarnation. If she married the right man, she would have a peaceful and healthy life, but if she married the wrong man, she would suffer from depression at best, and death at worst.
Modern women can make their own choices, and even if they choose the wrong person, they can part ways amicably.
Qin Xiaoxian was initially worried about her youngest daughter's marriage, but her attitude gradually changed because of her son-in-law's behavior, and she was relieved.
Now that she has met Ji Moyan in person, Qin Xiaoxian is even more relieved!
They talked about funny things that happened when their children were young, and the old lady Shangguan would occasionally say a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
On the other side, Grandpa Shangguan and Gu Qingyu were playing chess, while Shangguan Lin watched from the sidelines with Gu Xiaobao in his arms.
The waiters at Panlong Restaurant had never seen two families with such good looks.
In particular, the seven young men and women were just as good-looking as Mu Liangzhou, the most handsome actor in the entertainment industry. The main character of the night, who was sitting right next to them, was even more handsome than Mu Liangzhou.
Just looking at them sitting there is a pleasure to behold.
The three Shangguan sisters and the four Gu brothers all received gifts from each other's elders. They also prepared gifts for each other, and after giving them to each other, they sat together and chatted.
Neither Shangguan Xue nor Shangguan Shuang is good at socializing.
Therefore, Gu Chenge, who has a social butterfly syndrome, suggested: "Don't just sit and chat, let's play games and chat at the same time!"
So the seven of them started playing a little game.
Roll the dice!
The person who rolls the lowest number on three dice loses.
The loser either has to drink three cups of wine as a penalty or answer a question that must be told truthfully.
The winner must fulfill whatever demands they make.
Shangguan Wu has quite a few secrets. She whispered to Gu Yunzhen, "Aren't we going a bit too far?"
Gu Yunzhen gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, everyone knows what they're doing."
Shangguan Wu was truly relieved.
Soon, Shangguan Shuang lost the first round.
Who wants to ask a question?
"I, I'll ask!" Gu Chenge's eyes gleamed with gossip.
However, Shangguan Shuang didn't give him a chance to ask questions and punished herself by drinking three cups.
Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback.
The Gu twins exchanged a glance; their younger sister-in-law's second sister had been on guard all along!
Shangguan Shuang is out, and the others continue rolling the dice.
The second person to be eliminated was Shangguan Xue.
The dice rolled showed a six.
Shangguan Wu was at seven o'clock, while the four Gu brothers were all above ten o'clock.
The first round is above midnight.
Shangguan Wu turned his head in surprise: "Have you guys practiced this before?"
Gu Yunzhen's thin lips curved into a beautiful smile: "We played together a lot when we were kids, it was just a coincidence."
There are no such coincidences. Shangguan Wu thought to himself, predicting that he would be the one to lose the next round.
At this moment, Gu Chenge asked, "Sister Xue, are you going to answer the question or drink?"
He is one year younger than Shangguan Xue, so calling him "sister" is perfectly fine.
Shangguan Xue smiled gently: "I don't drink alcohol, so please ask your questions."
Gu Chenge asked, "Sister Xue, you own a building. Have you considered becoming a landlady?"
Shangguan Xue hadn't expected the question to be so simple, and immediately replied easily, "No, I like designing clothes. The building just gives me peace of mind."
In the third round of dice rolling, Shangguan Wu thought that if he rolled more than fourteen points, he wouldn't lose.
The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very harsh.
Shangguan Wu shook out four dots.
Three dice, four dots, currently the lowest in history.
That's it? Shangguan Wu's lips twitched.
Shangguan Xue and Shangguan Shuang looked at her with sympathy, both believing that she was doomed to lose.
But Gu Yunzhen rolled three ones.
Three points!
Even smaller than Shangguan Wu's!
Shangguan Xue and Shangguan Shuang were quite surprised; what a coincidence!
Shangguan Wu stared at Gu Yunzhen in shock: You lost on purpose?
Gu Yunzhen shook her head to indicate no.
However, Gu Chenye and Gu Chenge gave him a meaningful look and said in unison, "Sure!"
