The next day, as dawn was breaking.
One after another, firecrackers crackled and popped.
Shangguan Wu was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. He opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and felt that there were firecrackers everywhere.
The seat next to her was cool, which made her feel much more awake. How early had he gotten up?
She couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she patted her cheeks, got up, and washed up.
In the study, Gu Yunzhen worked all night. Looking at the time, he turned off the computer and went back to his room, only to find that Shangguan Wu had already woken up.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" he said.
Shangguan Wu was brushing her teeth when she saw Gu Yunzhen's dark circles and exclaimed in surprise!
Spitting out the mouthwash, she frowned and asked, "Didn't you sleep all night?"
Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement: "To handle some overseas work."
"Are you all done?"
"Um."
"Then you should go to sleep. Your dark circles are so bad. People would think you were in a fight last night and lost!"
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Shangguan Wu noticed that the man was still standing there without moving.
When Gu Yunzhen saw her looking over, he parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Madam, will you sleep with me for a while?"
Shangguan Wu met his gaze.
After a short while, she gave in and lay down on the bed with him. Gradually, sleepiness came over her, and she fell asleep.

Yan Yirou couldn't escape the interrogation last night. She barely managed to get through it, but she still didn't fall asleep until after 2 a.m.
Around 5 a.m., she was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. She became as irritable as a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.
Yan's father looked at his daughter and said irritably, "Today is the first day of the lunar new year. Your sour face is going to drive away all the good luck our family has for the year."
Yan Yirou retorted, "Then why didn't you let me go to bed earlier last night?"
“You came home so late last night. Your grandma wants to know what your relationship with Gu Chenye is. How could I not ask?”
Yan's father looked at his daughter, who was yawning incessantly and completely lacking in composure, and wondered if Gu Chenye had really taken a liking to her.
His daughter had always been a quiet person, but after going abroad, both the Ji and Gu families were eager to have her. He should have sent her abroad sooner!
Yan Yirou looked at him with a sly expression: "Are you trying to shift the blame to Grandma?"
Yan's father scolded with a stern face: "What do you mean by shifting the blame? That's the truth. Hurry up and go upstairs to get dressed. You'll be going to your grandmother's place to help entertain the relatives later."
Yan Yirou frowned slightly: "I understand."
She got up and walked towards the stairwell.
Yan Yirou dressed herself up beautifully and then went out to the old house.
In the old house, Yan Yirou met an unexpected person!
What happened?
Why is Ji Xianli here? When did he arrive? What is he doing here?
