She opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and only said, "Thank you, little sister. I will definitely tell you when I have something on my mind."
"I'll wait for you."
Shangguan Wu knew that her views wouldn't change overnight, but as long as a seed was planted in her heart, it would sprout and take root one day.
And that day won't be long.
Because Shangguan Xue lived in Gu Garden, Gu Yunzhen would return to the bedroom every two hours to check on Shangguan Wu.
This was requested by Shangguan Wu.
Gu Yunzhen didn't want to hear her mushy words.
However, the agreement clearly states that he must cooperate with Shangguan Wu in showing affection whenever she needs to.
However, this tactic was indeed very effective in provoking Shangguan Xue.
Around 8 PM.
While Shangguan Wu was performing acupuncture on Gu Yunzhen, she received a phone call from her father, Shangguan Lin.
"Wubao, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine!"
Shangguan Wu's face was deathly pale, devoid of color, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but her tone was relaxed and cheerful.
Looking at her face, Gu Yunzhen, as if possessed, picked up a tissue and wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Was he wiping her sweat?
Shangguan Wu was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone.
At this moment, Shangguan Lin asked again on the phone, "Then why did you call your eldest sister over? Doesn't the Gu family have anyone to take care of you?"
"My husband takes care of me, but he has to work too, so he can't chat with me all the time!"
Shangguan Wu smiled and asked in return, "How is my mother's health? Does she have morning sickness?"
Gu Yunzhen looked at her, a woman who was delicate, soft, and obedient. Just looking at her made him want to hold her in his arms and ravage her.
Suddenly, his handsome face darkened, and his eyes regained their usual cold indifference.
Shangguan Wu was focused on listening to her father's words on the phone and did not notice Gu Yunzhen's change. She only heard Shangguan Lin say with a smile, "No, no, your mother eats well and sleeps well, just like when she was pregnant with your second sister. She didn't like to move in the belly, but she ran around everywhere after she was born."
Shangguan Wu curled her lips: "You miss your second sister? If you miss her, just give her a call."
"I won't call. She didn't even tell me she was coming back, so why should I call?"
"Okay, okay, I won't hit you, please don't worry..."
Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, she heard her mother say a few words, and then her father said directly, "Wu Bao, let's talk another day, bye-bye."
The call has ended.
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched.
Her father's double standards are truly everywhere; his wife always comes first.
She suddenly looked at Gu Yunzhen, wondering when he would put her first.
Gu Yunzhen really wanted to pretend she couldn't understand her gaze.
However, her gaze was too blatant.
Pretending not to know is like trying to hide something obvious.
Gu Yunzhen looked at the silver needles on her leg and said in a cold voice, "It stings a little."
"A stinging sensation?"
Shangguan Wu's delicate brows suddenly furrowed, and she touched a spot on his calf, asking, "Here?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
A hint of annoyance flashed across Gu Yunzhen's eyes. Her decision just now was a complete failure. The spot where her fingers had been pressing felt as if hundreds of ants had crawled into it.
Shangguan Wu, however, had no intention of stopping.
She traced her index and middle fingers along his calf, saying in a serious tone, "Honey, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me so I can provide a better treatment plan for you next time!"
"No! I'm fine! Take your hand away!"
Gu Yunzhen finished speaking in one breath, her sword-like eyebrows furrowing deeply.
He felt his heart pounding in rhythm with the falling of her fingers, and this feeling of losing control was unpleasant.
"Really? You don't need to be embarrassed to say it, I'm a doctor now."
"It's time," Shangguan Wu said weakly, putting away the silver needles and lying on the pillow.
Gu Yunzhen glanced at her and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, you go to sleep."
"Honey, I'm all sweaty. Could you wipe me down for me? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep." Shangguan Wu was very tired and sleepy, but she was worried about feeling sticky all over and needed to be cleaned up.
Gu Yunzhen's eyelids twitched.
"I'll go get your sister."
He got out of bed, and Shangguan Wu glanced at him, saying, "You're my husband, yet you called my sister in to clean me up. Are you trying to expose our relationship right in front of her?"
Gu Yunzhen stared intently at her face with deep eyes.
Her face was pale, and exhaustion was written all over it.
And this is because of him.
Gu Yunzhen maneuvered her wheelchair into the bathroom.
This is what she requested.
He didn't want to take advantage of her.
After Gu Yunzhen finished preparing herself mentally, she came out with a hot towel. Shangguan Wu was already asleep, lying naked on the bed, so beautiful it was breathtaking, like a tempting enchantress.
In an instant, Gu Yunzhen's face darkened.
Isn't she worried about someone suddenly walking in?
Gu Yunzhen really wanted to open her head and see what was inside!
But at this moment, he had no choice but to resign himself to wiping her body.
Shangguan Wu's skin was fair and delicate. He didn't actually use much force, but he still left red marks on it. He could only soften and slow down his movements again and again, but it was truly an inhuman torture.
He was a man of few desires, yet he was also a normal man.
Besides, he had tasted this woman's flavor.
"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature, neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor pure..."
