After a moment, Gu Yunzhen got off her and got out of bed, saying, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."
Shangguan Wu had taken a shower before he came home, but after eating, she needed to brush her teeth and wash up, so she got out of bed.
"I'll brush my teeth, you can wash yours."
She said with a mischievous grin.
Gu Yunzhen took his pajamas and walked to the bathroom door, his eyes fixed on her with a deep gaze: "Don't seduce me."
Shangguan Wu felt a little burned by his intense gaze, and her face flushed slightly.
"Who seduced you? I just ate something and need to brush my teeth." She said as she walked past him into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.
Gu Yunzhen just leaned against the door and watched her.
After washing up, Shangguan Wu glanced at him and walked out of the bathroom.
Gu Yunzhen then went in to take a shower.
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, a glint of light flashed in Shangguan Wu's narrowed eyes.
He's hiding something from her!
And this matter must be related to her!
But why didn't he tell her?
Was it because you were afraid she would worry?
still……
Shangguan Wu couldn't understand it, couldn't figure it out.
She had planned to ask Gu Yunzhen directly after he finished showering, but more than ten minutes passed and he still hadn't come out, while she was already feeling drowsy.
When Gu Yunzhen came out, Shangguan Wu had already fallen into a deep sleep.
He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face. After a long while, he leaned down and kissed her forehead before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.
Upon arriving at the study, Gu Yunzhen called Ji Mingjing.
It took four calls before the other party answered.
"Gu Si! Are you looking for a beating in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Ji Mingjing's icy voice, laced with rage, pierced through the air.
Gu Yunzhen didn't care about his anger at all and went straight to the point: "How much do you know about Dream Builders?"
Ji Mingjing asked urgently, "Does Shangguan Wu have a way to be treated?"
Gu Yunzhen denied it: "No. I just wanted to know about the Dream Weaver."
There was a few seconds of silence on the phone.
Ji Mingjing asked him in a cold tone, "Why are you asking this?"
Gu Yunzhen pressed her temples, her voice tinged with a hint of weakness: "It's crucial to me, please tell me."
Ji Mingjing on the other end of the phone frowned, glanced at the screen again, and confirmed that it was Gu Si calling. His frown deepened.
After a short while, Ji Mingjing slowly spoke: "Dream architects are the architects who construct dreams. They can create dreams, steal other people's secrets, and implant thoughts into others."
The Rong family is one of the dream-weaver families. Because their dream-weaver abilities are too outstanding, they are envied and feared. Someone hired a hundred assassins to infiltrate the Rong family. Only six people came out alive, and the Rong family was brutally exterminated. Only Rong Rong escaped the calamity.
For years, Ji Mingjing had been searching for the whereabouts of the six assassins. Four of them were already dead, leaving only a man and a woman still missing, but there was a lead.
"The Dream Weaver family has suffered retaliation; less than one in ten survived. If you want to find them, it will be extremely difficult."
Ji Mingjing sighed.
Possessing immense wealth but lacking sufficient self-defense capabilities leads to such a tragic end.
Gu Yunzhen resumed her usual calm and unhurried tone and discussed with him, "I'll have someone bring your precious darling out of the dream, and you can persuade her to help construct the dream, how about that?"
Hearing the change in his tone, Ji Mingjing was both angry and amused: "Gu Si, you even schemed against me?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke slowly and deliberately: "You can't say that. I'm about to set sail, and you're still threatening me to come back. One time each, and we'll be even."
Ji Mingjing on the other end of the phone fell silent.
He was just saying those harsh words in a fit of anger. Logically speaking, given Gu Si's personality, he shouldn't have come back, but he took Shangguan Wu back to the capital.
Qin San seems to have said that Gu Si is going to take Shangguan Wu out to sea to propose marriage?
He really did something very unethical.
So Ji Mingjing didn't hold it against Gu Yunzhen.
But he bombarded him with questions in one breath: "Who are you planning to ask for help? Do you know any other hypnotists? Gu Si, have you studied hypnosis?"
Gu Yunzhen didn't hide anything from him: "Yes, I learned it."
Ji Mingjing hadn't expected him to be so candid, and could only remind him, "Don't let the other hypnotists find out."
Gu Yunzhen was not one to flaunt his abilities, and since he knew of the existence of the hypnosis organization, he would definitely be cautious and wary. He asked, "You agreed?"
Ji Mingjing's voice was slightly deep: "You still haven't answered me!"
Gu Yunzhen narrowed her deep eyes, her voice cold: "Those who haven't answered naturally can't be told. Everyone understands this implicitly. Are you out of your mind to suddenly ask this?"
A simple sentence caused Ji Mingjing's pupils to dilate as if he had been shaken. He abruptly stood up: "We'll contact each other another day!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone and strode towards the door.
The moment he grasped the doorknob, Ji Mingjing suddenly closed his eyes. A moment later, when he opened them, he was indeed inside the villa!
Ji Mingjing clenched his fists, his fists hardening!
When did she regain consciousness?
When did she let him enter the dream?
It was that kiss!
Ji Mingjing didn't want to admit that she had other motives for kissing him, but the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
He closed his eyes, and the furnishings of her room appeared in his mind one by one. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing by her bedside.
Ji Mingjing quietly watched her sleeping face without making any noise to disturb her rest, but Rongrong still woke up.
Or rather, she simply opened her eyes.
She woke up the moment he answered the phone.
Rongrong, still half-asleep, asked innocently, "Uncle, what are you doing in my room?"
Pack!
Ji Mingjing knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind, but his face remained completely expressionless. He then said with feigned seriousness, "A thief broke into the house, so I came to protect you."
Rongrong remained lying still: "What kind of thief is so bold as to dare to cause trouble in my uncle's house?"
She didn't sound nervous at all.
Especially the way she kept calling him "little uncle," it was unclear whether she was reminding him or herself.
Ji Mingjing sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at her: "Heart thief."
Rongrong was lying down while he was sitting, and she always felt that she was shorter than him. Suddenly, she sat up and leaned against the headboard, and the distance between the two was less than a meter.
"Oh, then Uncle can go back to sleep. I'll take down any of these petty thieves who come along."
"What if I don't want to go back?" Ji Mingjing asked with a double meaning.
Rongrong's eyelids twitched, but even so, she avoided his gaze.
Ji Mingjing asked again, "I don't want to leave tonight. I'll just sleep here, okay?"
Rongrong objected: "No! You're my uncle, you can't sleep in my room..."
"Don't call me 'Uncle' anymore!"
Ji Mingjing suddenly roared, knowing that she was doing it on purpose, knowing that it was a dream, but he still couldn't control himself!
"Listen carefully, I am not your uncle, not before, not now, and not in the future!"
The veins on Ji Mingjing's forehead bulged as he reached out and grabbed her wrist, leaning closer: "I love you. In this life, you can only be my woman. Don't even think about anything else!"
