Shangguan Wu pointed at his chest and said, "You were too rough that night. You pinched my waist so hard that I had to deflower myself. It hurt so much that I almost passed out."
She recalled the night she was reborn; the immense joy and the feeling of regaining what she had lost made her ignore the tearing pain.
“That day, my body was covered in your marks, and my cousin even saw them. But I lied and said they were mosquito bites. Guess if she believed me?” Shangguan Wu looked up at him and asked.
In an instant, Gu Yunzhen's eyes turned as dark as ink, looking at her with a hint of coldness.
"You didn't let her see it on purpose?"
Oops!
He brought up old grievances!
"I did it on purpose! I want to marry you!"
Shangguan Wu made no attempt to hide his feelings, sighed and said, "But she was really stupid. She thought she had something on me and wanted to kick me out of the Shangguan family and send me back to the countryside, where I would never be able to leave."
Gu Yunzhen thought of her vicious yet foolish cousin, and a sarcastic smile curved her thin lips.
His deep eyes narrowed: "You married me so that you could temporarily leave the Shangguan family, escape Shangguan Xiong's sight, and then slowly plot to take back the Shangguan Group?"
"ah?"
Shangguan Wu was stunned. How did the topic suddenly shift to this?
He truly is a master at changing the subject!
But he was half right. To completely dispel his doubts, she nodded: "If I stay in the Shangguan family, no matter what I do, there will be Shangguan Xinyi, that troublemaker, causing trouble, and Shangguan Xiong will keep a close eye on me."
The next second, she changed the subject: "But that's not the reason I married you. If that were the case, with my face alone, there would be many men willing to marry me, and they would be at my beck and call. But I chose you, who is intelligent and unmoved by temptation. Why?"
Why?
A startling glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes.
"Of course it's because I love you! I fell for you at first sight. It really felt like destiny. I firmly believe that you are my soulmate. In order to wake up in your arms every day, I used a little trick to marry you!"
Shangguan Wu's soft voice carried a hint of smugness.
She looked at him with affection in her eyes: "Husband, I only have love for you, and I really have no ill intentions at all. Time will prove it, and you can believe me."
She loves him and will continue to love him deeply, carrying with her the love she owed him in her past life.
Gu Yunzhen suddenly asked, "Who taught you your medical skills?"
Shangguan Wu was stunned for a moment.
“He was the old miracle doctor in our village.” She said softly, a hint of sadness in her eyes: “He passed away two years ago in the winter.”
Gu Yunzhen lowered her eyes.
Seeing the sadness welling up in her eyes, his gaze darkened, and his deep voice carried a certainty: "You learned your perfumery skills in the village as well. It seems the people in your village are no ordinary people!"
Shangguan Wu looked at him intently and said seriously, "They are all ordinary people who just want to live ordinary lives."
Gu Yunzhen noticed the slight hostility in her eyes and raised an eyebrow.
He understood what she meant.
She didn't want him to investigate the village.
He could leave her alone as long as she could handle it, but he did offer a word of caution: "Be careful of Xiao Jingming."
"Yes, he can't find where the village is."
Shangguan Wu smiled mysteriously, her watery eyes sparkling.
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Not on the map?"
Shangguan Wu's eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled and pointed upwards with his index finger: "It's on the hidden map, and it's permitted by the higher-ups. Very few people come and go from our area, and even if we send a lot of people to search, we might not be able to find the entrance."
The village was surrounded by a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation. Even if someone knew how to break the formation, they would be taken to another village.
In this life, she will absolutely not bring any outsiders into Hakugakure!
A chilling glint appeared in Shangguan Wu's eyes.
Gu Yunzhen sensed the change in her emotions and lowered her gaze.
Although he had known for a long time that she was a person with a story, he had never thought about interpreting that story. Perhaps he should try to find out more.
After the car returned to the Shangguan family home.
The elevator hasn't been installed yet, and neither Shangguan Lin nor Qin Xiaoxian are home.
Shangguan Wu asked Uncle Xu where they had gone.
Mr. Xu said, "The master said the house was too noisy, so he took his wife out on a date."
"Dating?"
Shangguan Wu was envious. Her grandparents went to a resort, and her parents went on a date... She looked at Gu Yunzhen with a wronged expression.
Gu Yunzhen's eye twitched slightly as he asked her, "Do you want to go out after you've eaten?"
Huh? She doesn't want to!
Shangguan Wu blinked and smiled, "Uncle Xu, you don't need to cook for us, let's eat out!"
After saying that, she went straight to her parents' room.
The room was spotless, and the bed was especially tidy, without a single hair.
Finally, Shangguan Wu found two long hairs with follicles on the carpet, and broke out in a sweat.
But she also breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put it away, and left the room.
"Honey, I'm going upstairs to take a shower first!"
Shangguan Wu felt sticky and uncomfortable all over, so she decided to take a shower before going out.
Gu Yunzhen saw the sweat on her forehead and hummed in agreement: "Go ahead."
Shangguan Wu ran upstairs in her high heels.
Gu Yunzhen's deep gaze followed her, looking at her thin heels, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Walking so fast, isn't she afraid of twisting her ankle?
Installing an elevator was the right thing to do!
After taking a refreshing shower, Shangguan Wu felt much better. When choosing clothes, she put on a khaki jumpsuit with a high-waisted design that revealed her slender arms and waist, making her straight and fair legs look even longer. She exuded a youthful and fashionable vibe and looked very beautiful.
After going downstairs, she headed straight for Gu Yunzhen.
"Honey, let's go!"
Hearing Shangguan Wu's charming voice, Gu Yunzhen looked in the direction of the sound and seemed to see a small sun rushing towards him, making him dizzy and mesmerized.
Shangguan Wu raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Husband?"
Gu Yunzhen suddenly came to her senses.
He looked away and asked calmly, "Have you taken everything?"
Shangguan Wu patted her bag and said with a smile, "It's all inside, let's go."
She couldn't wait to fly to the hospital for a DNA test and then go out to dinner with him. This was the first time they would eat out alone together, so it could be considered their first date!
Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes and looked at the crystal sandals on her feet: "Wearing these shoes?"
Shangguan Wu rested one hand on the wheelchair and stretched one leg out straight: "Isn't it pretty? It looks like my dad bought it. He said it was a princess's crystal shoe. I never expected him to bring it with him."
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Thinking of Shangguan Lin's doting fatherly nature, he uttered three words: "It's fine."
