Chapter 34 I'll Shield You from the Wind, Rain, and Bullets



Gu Yunzhen saw the infatuation in her eyes, abruptly withdrew his hand, and a mocking smile curved his thin lips: "Shangguan Wu, are you that horny?"

Shangguan Wu's expression froze for a moment.

Suddenly, she smiled slyly and provocatively asked him, "Husband, are you so averse to intimacy with your wife because I drained you dry last time?"

She wasn't the one lying down there last time.

Understanding her meaning, Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes narrowed, reflecting a chilling and murderous intent.

"Provocation won't work on me. You'd better behave yourself, or I won't hesitate to let you experience what it's like to wish you were dead!"

"husband……"

Shangguan Wu suddenly lowered her eyelids, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Although there was an element of acting involved, she was genuinely heartbroken.

"Do you know how painful it is to like someone who hates you? If liking someone could be controlled at will, then I wouldn't like you this much. At least I don't want to like you until you like me back."

Shangguan Wu's voice was soft and ethereal, yet somewhat broken, like a wounded porcelain doll in need of care.

Gu Yunzhen felt inexplicably irritated when she saw her tears.

He reiterated, "I've said it before, don't have any illusions about me, there's no way I could like you!"

Shangguan Wu felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. She looked at him with blurry eyes and asked, "So what type do you like?"

Gu Yunzhen said coldly, "Not someone like you!"

Shangguan Wu: …………

Has his mouth been soaked in arsenic? It's so poisonous.

His repeated rejections fueled her rebellious spirit; the more he disliked her, the more she wanted to see him infatuated with her!

"But I just like your type. You look cold and serious, but you're actually quite sassy."

If you love me, the sky will be colorful, the air will be sweet, and every day will be filled with happiness.

For my happiness, please wait and see, my husband!

As if making a vow, Shangguan Wu was about to embark on a passionate pursuit of him, even if it meant being like a moth drawn to a flame.

Gu Yunzhen was suddenly shaken.

But, for her sexual happiness?

His handsome face darkened, and his eyes, fixed on her, revealed a deep, brooding intensity: "Shangguan Wu, even a city wall isn't as thick-skinned as you!"

Shangguan Wu touched her face tenderly and said, "Then I can shield you from the wind, rain, and bullets!"

In an instant, Gu Yunzhen's eyes became deep and unreadable.

He found that he couldn't communicate with her; no matter what he said, she would steer the conversation in a different direction. It was like talking to a brick wall.

Gu Yunzhen maneuvered her wheelchair away.

"Honey, where are you going?"

Her clear voice reached outside the door. Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes and told her, "I'll buy you milk tea."

In order to get back on his feet as quickly as possible, he could tolerate her audacity.

Hopefully, drinking milk tea will make her more restrained.

Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback.

Did he go out to buy her milk tea?

He probably didn't want to be in the same room with her.

You scoundrel! Now you're avoiding me, but when you start getting all lovey-dovey with me again, I'll show you why flowers are so red!

***

Han Family Villa.

As soon as Shangguan Xue entered the door, she was met with a barrage of scolding from her mother-in-law.

"You were making a racket in the kitchen before dawn, waking everyone up, and you didn't come back until it was dark. Are you busier than the men in the Han family? You've abandoned your husband's family for your own, what are you doing back here? You might as well stay in the hospital too, that would be a good way to teach you a lesson, you brainless bastard!"

"Mom, I didn't..."

Before Shangguan Xue could finish explaining, Madam Han interrupted her with a sarcastic remark: "Is your Shangguan family short of servants or short of money? You can't even find a caregiver, so you have to be called over."

"Hmph, I think you're just a masochist, itching to do anything but work! Go get a towel and mop the living room floor. You're not allowed to sleep until it's clean!"

Such remarks were commonplace for Shangguan Xue, but today she felt particularly embarrassed because her sister's bodyguard was still at the door, and she didn't know how much he had overheard.

"Are you deaf? Hurry up and..."

"Miss, I won't use the restroom anymore, I'm going back to the hospital now."

Madam Han's face stiffened: "Who's outside?"

"My sister's bodyguard brought me back."

Mrs. Han's expression changed. After glaring at her fiercely, her tone took a complete 180-degree turn: "Are you still going to see your sister tomorrow? Give Yaowen a call and tell him to come back quickly so he can accompany you to the hospital to see his sister-in-law."

"oh."

Shangguan Xue did not want to call Han Yaowen.

She went out the door and watched Du Wei drive away. She stood there for a while before turning around and going back inside. Before Mrs. Han could speak, she put down her bag, went to the bathroom to get a towel, and squatted down in the living room to wipe the floor.

"A lowly person is a lowly person, born to do menial work..."

Madam Han started cursing again, and Shangguan Xue's eyes, with her head down, were full of humiliation and forbearance.

Half an hour later, Du Wei returned to Shangguan Wu's ward at the hospital.

"Mrs. Han first scolded the eldest daughter, and said some very harsh things. Then she said that her son should accompany the eldest daughter to the hospital tomorrow... I think she changed her tune after hearing what I said."

"Be more confident, you can remove 'I think'."

A cold light flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes. The Han family was too good at pretending. They had deceived everyone. The eldest sister sacrificed herself for the family, which ultimately led to an irreparable tragedy.

no!

We can't wait any longer!

Shangguan Wu instructed him, "Go and invite the attending physician over."

"Yes, Miss."

Du Wei turned and went out.

About ten minutes later, the attending physician arrived.

Shangguan Wu asked directly, "Dr. Zhong, is there any problem if I go home to recuperate?"
