Is he not even as good as a bowl of crayfish?
Gu Chenye's lips twitched as he watched the car drive away until it was out of sight before he returned to the villa.
In the living room, Shangguan Wu's mouth watered at the smell of crayfish.
She looked up at her husband, her eyes glistening with tears, and said, "Honey, I want to eat~"
Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his voice deep: "You are pregnant."
Shangguan Wu pouted and made a cross with her index fingers: "I know, I'll just eat ten."
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Just?"
Shangguan Wu blinked and changed her words: "I'll only eat ten."
Seeing her like this, Gu Yunzhen pinched her brow bone with a headache: "You want to eat that much?"
"Mmm~"
Shangguan Wu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
It's fine if I can't smell the aroma, but if I can smell it but can't eat it, I feel restless and uncomfortable, and nothing else tastes good.
There are some foods that should not be eaten during pregnancy, or should be eaten in small amounts. Of course, this varies from person to person.
Shangguan Wu wouldn't joke about the baby in her belly, so she only needed to taste it.
Gu Yunzhen patted her head, and seeing Uncle Qiao come in, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Qiao, are there any more crayfish?"
Job replied, "About two pounds left."
Gu Yunzhen instructed him, "Bring a bowl and pick out ten of the big ones."
"Yes, Fourth Young Master."
Job walked toward the kitchen, and after a while, he came back carrying a bowl.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of crayfish. Shangguan Wu swallowed hard and couldn't wait to dig in.
Gu Yunzhen hadn't eaten lunch either. Watching Shangguan Wu skillfully peel open the lobster shell with her little mouth pursed, he advised, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Shangguan Wu responded with "uh-huh" sounds, but his hands didn't slow down at all.
The chefs at Gu's residence are no less skilled than those at five-star hotels. Their crayfish are fragrant, fresh, and delicious, making them mouthwatering and leaving a lasting impression.
Just then, Gu Chenye walked in and saw her eating crayfish. He asked in surprise, "Why are you only eating so little? Is that all?"
"Yes," Shangguan Wu replied briefly, "My husband won't let me eat too much."
"Fourth brother, that's where you're wrong..."
Before Gu Chenye could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen interrupted him coldly: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"How could I..."
Gu Chenye suddenly fell silent when he realized that his sister-in-law was pregnant.
He suddenly looked at Shangguan Wu, wondering if he was being tricked again.
Shangguan Wu looked up and smiled apologetically at him.
Gu Chenye rolled his eyes.
"Don't drag me into your marital problems anymore," he said before leaving.
After finishing the last crayfish, Shangguan Wu licked her lips: "Husband..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen uttered six words: "Ten is ten."
Shangguan Wu stared at him expectantly.
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow slightly, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and said in a light voice, "A person should keep their word."
"Okay!"
Shangguan Wu pouted and tossed away her disposable gloves: "I'm hungry."
Gu Yunzhen stood up, put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards the dining room, instructing, "Uncle Qiao, let's start eating."
"Yes, Fourth Young Master."
Job returned to the kitchen to arrange for the servants to serve the dishes and to pack up the meals for the husband, wife, and eldest son. Then he went upstairs to invite the third son down for dinner.
In the dining room, Gu Yunzhen and Shangguan Wu sat in their usual seats.
Gu Yunzhen noticed that she kept staring at her phone and didn't even talk to him. He had only been back for three days. Was she only excited for a short while?
"Don't use your phone while eating," he reminded me calmly.
"I'm waiting for news."
Shangguan Wu frowned.
Logically speaking, Rongrong should be somewhere near the Chinese medicine shop. Why haven't they found her yet, even though it's already dark?
Gu Yunzhen parted his thin lips slightly: "What news are you waiting for?"
Shangguan Wu said, "We suddenly came out of Rongrong's Dream World. She was very weak at the time. We need to find her as soon as possible so she can be found somewhere that needs emergency treatment."
Gu Yunzhen raised her hand and tapped her on the head twice.
"Let this happen again."
"Ouch!"
Shangguan Wu cried out in pain and muttered, "I wasn't in any danger, and I even beat up Fu Lin."
Just then, Gu Chenye walked into the dining room.
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Third brother, you're in a dream..."
Shangguan Wu's eyelids twitched, and she immediately interrupted him: "By the way, if my hypnosis is successful, Fu Lin will break her own legs and lose her ability to move, which should make it much easier for us to capture her!"
Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "Fu Lin has been arrested."
"Arrested?"
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her expression suddenly changing as she picked up her phone and called Gong Wujue.
The bell rang for a long time.
Just as Shangguan Wu frowned in worry that something had happened, the call was answered.
"Turn on speakerphone."
"Junior Sister".
Gu Yunzhen and Gong Wujue's voices rang out simultaneously.
Shangguan Wu looked at Gu Yunzhen in surprise as the man reached out and tapped her phone.
Instantly, Gong Wujue's concerned voice pierced through: "Junior Sister, are you alright? Did anything happen afterward?"
Since the hands-free mode was on, Shangguan Wu put the phone on the dining table: "I'm fine. Senior, did you take Fu Lin back to the military region?"
She and Fu Lin left the dream world one after the other. More than four hours had passed since she came out, and Fu Lin should have been under guard.
However, the phone went silent.
Shangguan Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath, waiting.
