Chapter 34: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (34)
"Mom, your face is so red."
Wen Wan: "It might be because the weather is a bit hot."
Gu Ci was so flirtatious, it was really hard for her, a lifelong single, to resist. She almost had a nosebleed just now.
Can't.
It's all an act. He's the father of two children, and he even slept with Shen Li. They're a perfect match. You're just cannon fodder.
Calm down.
Wake up.
Help! ! !

Following the system's suggestion, Wen Wan purchased a package containing the DNA test report and ordered it to be delivered anonymously on a scheduled date.
It will be sent to Gu Yiqin a month later.
She'll probably be kicked out then.
Wen Wan still delivers three meals a day to Gu Ci, but sometimes she asks the nanny to deliver them, and the frequency of her own deliveries is gradually decreasing.
Moreover, he no longer appears at the company unless absolutely necessary.
She can't be too obvious, but there still needs to be a traceable clue.
The chairman of the Shen Group held a press conference to officially acknowledge Shen Li as part of the Shen family, and also directly gifted Shen Li 5% of the shares.
This is already a huge sum for the Shen family. Even if they do nothing every year, as long as the Shen family is still around, Shen Li can still get a considerable amount of dividends.
Shen Li continued to work at Gu's company, which many people found incomprehensible.
Shen Li was surrounded by a few sycophants, but she was very tactful and maintained a friendly relationship with everyone, but never overstepped her boundaries.
Wen Wan knew that Shen Li stayed in the Gu family for Gu Ci's sake.
No other man can compare to Gu Ci even a fraction.
"Sir, what's the reader satisfaction rate?"
System: [68/100, Host, you're almost there! Keep it up!]
It'll be soon, just one more month. In this month, she'll watch the romance between the male and female leads grow stronger, and see Gu Ci slowly recognize Shen Li.
Then slowly withdraw from their world.
As Wen Wan had predicted, Shen Li's outstanding abilities caught Gu Ci's attention, and he even assigned her several small projects, all of which she performed exceptionally well.
Shen Li often came to report to Gu Ci, and Wen Wan could occasionally see her when she was in Gu Ci's office.
Although Gu Ci remained indifferent, there was now a hint of appreciation in his eyes compared to the beginning.
Shen Li, on the other hand, maintained her goodwill towards him as always.
She didn't understand what Gu Ci was saying. She was just an ordinary, lazy otaku who wrote melodramatic online novels. She barely made it into a second-tier university in the college entrance exam and had never been good at studying since she was a child.
But Shen Li understood everything he said.
The fact that the two of them can communicate in the same world and on the same wavelength is, in a phrase she often uses in her online novels, a testament to their souls being on the same level.
Wen Wan thought it was normal for Gu Ci to fall for Shen Li.
After Shen Li left, Gu Ci walked to the sofa and touched Wen Wan's hair. "What's wrong? You haven't been saying much today."
"Gu Ci".
"Um?"
"You will be happy, believe me."
Gu Ci smiled slightly. What on earth was his wife thinking all day long? He was very happy right now.
"Let's go eat."
"good."
When Wen Wan encountered Shen Li on the road, she suddenly called out to her, "Shen Li, have you eaten?"
Shen Li was a little confused, but still said, "I'll go after I finish my work."
"Work isn't urgent. We're just about to go eat anyway, shall we go together?"
"this--"
Wen Wan looked at Gu Ci and said, "Aci won't refuse, will she? She's your employee, she makes money for you, so you should treat her well."
Gu Ci suppressed his doubts and nodded, "Since Sisi has said so, let's go together."
Qin Qin wasn't surprised to see President Gu and his sister-in-law arrive, but he was somewhat surprised to see a beautiful woman with them.
"Sister-in-law, won't you introduce her?"
"Chen Li, this is my colleague from the sales department. This is Qin Qin, the owner of this private restaurant. His cooking is delicious. If you want to eat here in the future, you can order from him."
Qin Qin: "It is my honor to serve such a beauty."
Shen Li: "Thank you."
Wen Wan was worried that Shen Li might not be used to it since it was her first time here, so she took great care of her, serving her food and introducing the dishes to her. After all, she had been to this restaurant many times and had tried almost all the dishes.
"This is 'Three Delicacies Stir-fry,' it's delicious, you should try it."
"This is tofu fish, it's very tender, and the fresh flavors of the fish and tofu come together perfectly."
"This is Sichuan peppercorn chicken strips, they're fragrant and crispy, and they go perfectly with rice."
Gu Ci, feeling neglected, remained silent.
Qin Qin across the way: Sister-in-law, you need to be more careful. Can't you see the jealous person next to you is about to explode?
The beauty was innocent, so Qin Qin thought he should rescue Shen Li from the jealousy between the couple, and took on the task of introducing the dishes.
Gu Ci's complexion finally improved a bit.
"Sisi, I want to eat tofu fish."
"Okay, I'll get you some." Wen Wan put a tofu fish on Gu Ci's plate.
"I also want to eat the Three Delicacies Stir-fry."
"OK."
I'd also like to try the Sichuan peppercorn chicken strips.
Qin Qin, watching the two showing affection from the opposite side: "I'm speechless. That old dog Gu, he's really jealous. He's so sour."
As Shen Li ate, she occasionally glanced at the two people beside her, her eyes filled with a hint of envy.
—
[Host, to accelerate the relationship between the male and female leads, I think we need to add some plot excitement.]
"for example?"
[Trapped them in the elevator?]
"No, what if they have claustrophobia? That would be very dangerous."
[Then let's find someone to flirt with the female lead, so that Gu Ci can play the hero and save her?]
"Your trick is terrible, it's so outdated."
Wen Wan still refused.
[If it works, that's all that matters, right? Go bribe someone, then pretend to harass Shen Li on the street, and lure Gu Ci there so he can rescue Shen Li. Host, time is running out; we need a strong dose of medicine.]
"But……"
[Host, you don't mean you don't want to bring the male and female leads together, do you? You haven't fallen in love with the male lead, have you?]
"Don't talk nonsense!!!" Wen Wan retorted subconsciously, but her heart was in her throat.
[That's fine. Host, as those who maintain the plot, we must control our emotions. Many hosts who transmigrated into the novel before couldn't control themselves. Some tried to reform the villain but ended up falling in love with him and destroying the world together, while others were killed in the process. So, host, you must stay clear-headed.]
"I...I know."
In the end, Wen Wan secretly contacted someone, gave him money, and asked him to ambush Chen Li.
Meanwhile, I stood not far away and watched.
Just as the man was about to block Shen Li, ten minutes beforehand, Wen Wan quickly sent a message to Gu Ci using a phone card purchased with virtual information provided by the system.
—The person you love is here at XX Road, XX Lane. If you don't come soon, I can't guarantee her safety.
Is this really okay?
Of course, even if Gu Ci arrives and discovers he's been tricked, he can still save Shen Li. In her extreme panic, Shen Li will definitely be moved by the male lead who saved her.
After a while, Shen Li passed by this road as usual.
This road is not usually frequented by many people, and even after Shen Li was taken back by the Shen family, she did not leave her original residence.
However, this time, Shen Li felt a little uneasy. After walking to a fork in the road, a man suddenly walked up to her.
She walked to the side, and the person also walked to the side.
"what you up to?"
"Hey beautiful, all alone? Want to keep me company?"
"There are surveillance cameras here. If you do anything, you won't be able to escape."
"The security cameras here have been broken for a long time. Beautiful lady, just play with me for a bit, I'll take good care of you."
Wen Wan, standing to the side, hardened her fist.
Even though she knew it was fake, she was still angry because of the acting.
"Why hasn't Gu Ci arrived yet?"
System: [Wait a little longer, he will definitely come after receiving the message.]
"Wait, Gu Ci can't see clearly, how can he see the message?"
system:【……】
Sensing the system's silence, Wen Wan was furious. "Are you really a high-tech product?"
Quickly send a message to the person pretending to be a thug, give them the money, and tell them to leave immediately.
But then, a sudden change occurred.
