Shangguan Lin looked up, looking weakly at him: "Good morning."
Shangguan Wu almost laughed, and deliberately teased him, "What's wrong with you? You're not going to have to sleep in the guest room again tonight, are you?"
For a moment, Shangguan Lin stared at her with wide eyes: "Is she my own daughter?"
"Just kidding!"
Shangguan Wu smiled and pulled his arm toward the dining room, asking as they walked, "Dad, tell us, what happened? Let's cheer you up!"
Shangguan Lin glared at her angrily and pulled his arm back.
"Don't be angry, getting angry will accelerate aging. Just imagine walking down the street with my mom in the future, and she'll be so young and beautiful, while you'll have a full head of white hair. How heartbreaking would that be!" Shangguan Wu coaxed him.
Shangguan Lin snorted, "Can't I dye my hair black?"
"Okay, then what about all those wrinkles on your face?"
"Wrinkle removal!"
Immediately, Shangguan Wu gave him a thumbs up: "You won!"
Shangguan Lin raised his chin smugly.
Gu Yunzhen followed them into the dining room, hearing every word of the father and daughter's conversation. So this was their way of getting along.
He never expected that Shangguan Lin, who was usually quiet and serious outside, would be so funny and childish in front of his daughter!
This really surprised him.
Gu Yunzhen's deep gaze fell on Shangguan Wu. What kind of place had nurtured such a delicate heart in her?
Shangguan Wu sat opposite her father and asked him again, "You really won't tell me what's wrong? Tell me, maybe I can think of a solution for you."
Shangguan Lin opened her mouth, but seeing Gu Yunzhen sitting next to her, she swallowed her words back.
Gu Yunzhen noticed his gaze and her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Shangguan Wu noticed this as well and assured her, "It's alright, please tell me. My husband is very discreet and won't tell anyone else."
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes.
"Sigh." Shangguan Lin sighed and looked at her, asking, "Didn't you ask your mother about her childhood the night before last? These past few days, she's been thinking about how great it would be to see her family. You said that a pregnant woman's emotions are very important and that she should maintain an optimistic attitude, but I really don't know where to find her family. I've tried placing advertisements in the newspaper before, but each time it's been a disappointment with no response. What am I supposed to tell your mother now? I can't lie to her."
Shangguan Wu was stunned.
She never expected it to be related to her.
"Dad, please try to persuade Mom to stop overthinking. Give me the rest, and I'll try to find someone. Maybe we'll find Mom's family before the baby is even born!"
"Are you looking for someone?"
Shangguan Lin stared in disbelief and asked, "Are you even capable?"
Shangguan Wu's eyes shone with confidence as she smiled and said, "Dad, you forgot? I own an entertainment company! Finding people is a piece of cake."
"In a minute? That sounds incredibly unreliable!"
Shangguan Lin's lips twitched: "Let's eat!"
However, after talking about it, he felt better and was able to eat.
Shangguan Wu: "..."
She turned to look at Gu Yunzhen and blinked, "Even if I can't, I still have my husband! My husband is so capable, he'll definitely be able to find my maternal grandmother's family, right, husband?"
With Shangguan Lin sitting opposite him, what could Gu Yunzhen say?
His deep voice escaped his thin lips: "Yes, you're right."
Shangguan Wu's eyes crinkled with laughter in an instant.
After breakfast, Shangguan Wu and Gu Yunzhen set off for the Qin family.
On the way, Gu Yunzhen received a call from her older brother, Gu Yilou.
"I'm not going."
He uttered two words succinctly.
Shangguan Wu stared at him curiously, her eyes blinking and sparkling.
Gu Yunzhen caught a glimpse of her bright face out of the corner of her eye: "She's not going either."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow. Was he talking about her? Not going anywhere?
Suddenly she remembered that Quan Tianrui had come to deliver the invitation last night, saying it was a banquet hosted by the Xiao family, so the person making the call now was his older brother.
Gu Yunzhen then said two more words: "Tomorrow."
Then the call ended.
Shangguan Wu blinked gently: "Honey, Quan Tianrui came over last night while you were taking a shower. He said the Xiao family was holding a party on Saturday and invited us to attend, but when he called me Wu Bao, I felt a little disgusted, so I had Eleven throw him out."
Gu Yunzhen: "A little bit?"
A look of surprise flashed across Shangguan Wu's eyes, and she quickly shook her head: "No, it's extremely disgusting, the kind of thing that makes you want to punch someone every time you see it!"
Gu Yunzhen didn't look at her, but a fleeting smile appeared in his deep eyes.
"Honey, it's a good thing you refused, otherwise I would have been embarrassed if I had shown up at the party." Shangguan Wu tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.
Gu Yunzhen didn't want to attend the party in the first place, and Eleven had already reported to Quan Tianrui about sending the invitations.
Although he had never met Quan Tianrui, judging from the information he had gathered about him, the other party was adept at plotting in the shadows to achieve his goals, and he would stop at nothing to get others to fight for him. He was a typical hypocrite, and he had an extremely strong sense of self-esteem.
Shangguan Wu's decision to have his bodyguard cripple his leg was undoubtedly a humiliation for him.
Based on this alone, it's impossible for him to call someone "Misty Baby" so affectionately, unless he has ulterior motives.
Quan Tianrui was clearly deliberately provoking Shangguan Wu to make her refuse to attend the party.
So when he gets back, he will definitely try to sow discord between them. But it's nothing more than Shangguan Wu not taking the Xiao family seriously. Therefore, Xiao Jingming will definitely hold a grudge against Shangguan Wu. Once Shangguan Wu does something that he finds even more disgusting, he will take action.
Gu Yunzhen looked down at Shangguan Wu, smiling like a little fool. Did she know that Quan Tianrui was plotting against her?
Suddenly, a black van came speeding towards them, and Du Wei swerved sharply to avoid it.
Shangguan Wu's body fell forward uncontrollably.
Just as her head was about to hit the seat in front of her, Gu Yunzhen grabbed her with his large hand and pulled her into his arms.
Huh!
Shangguan Wu's face was pressed against his chest. She tilted her head slightly and saw his refined jawline. She blinked twice, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. "Thank you, husband~"
A dark glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's eyes, then vanished. He released her and said, "Sit properly."
"Oh." Shangguan Wu obediently responded, sinking into the seat and turning her head to look at him.
Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "Don't you want your neck anymore?"
Shangguan Wu's eyes twitched immediately. She adjusted her posture and looked out the window.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Qin family mansion.
Gu Shiyi revealed his identity as the Fourth Young Master, and the security guard at the gate notified the butler while opening the wrought iron gate to let him in.
The car was parked smoothly in front of the villa's steps.
The butler was already waiting nearby.
"Fourth Young Master, your presence is an honor. We apologize for not being able to welcome you properly."
"Uncle Luo, you're too kind."
Gu Yunzhen and Qin San had a good relationship. When they were in school, Gu Yunzhen often visited the Qin family. After he started his business, he visited the Qin family less often, but their relationship did not fade. It wasn't until Gu Yunzhen had an accident and was confined to a wheelchair that he lost contact with all his former friends and brothers.
