Yang Guo: I'm invincible in the opening battle against Aunt Guo!

After the banquet, everyone went their separate ways.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu walked at the back, their eyes filled with resentment as they watched Yang Guo's departing figure.

"Brother, are we just going to let it go like this?" Wu Xiuwen asked in a low voice, his tone unwilling.

Wu Dunru gritted his teeth: "Let it go? How could that be! The hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable!"

He paused, a cold glint in his eyes: "Let's go find Sister Fu."

The two quickly caught up with Guo Fu, who was about to return to her room.

"Fu-mei, wait!" Wu Dunru stopped her.

Guo Fu frowned: "Brother Da Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Dunru took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Sister Fu, there are some things we have to tell you. About Yang Guo... and Li Mochou."

Guo Fu's expression changed slightly when she heard Yang Guo mention Li Mochou: "Didn't Brother Yang already explain? It was a bet..."

"A bet?" Wu Xiuwen sneered. "Fu-mei, think about it carefully. Would a woman like Li Mochou make such a childish bet? And kiss him in public? This is clearly..."

"What is it?" Guo Fu's voice turned cold.

Wu Dunru chimed in, "It's obvious the two have a very close relationship! Sister Fu, didn't you see Li Mochou's expression when she kissed Yang Guo? That wasn't just accepting defeat, it was... it was intentional!"

He stared into Guo Fu's eyes: "And why didn't Yang Guo dodge? With his martial arts skills, if he really wanted to dodge, could Li Mochou have even managed to kiss him?"

Guo Fu's heart skipped a beat.

She had thought about this question as well.

But Yang Guo's explanation had fooled him at the time, and now that it was brought up again, his doubts resurfaced.

"And another thing," Wu Xiuwen seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "did you see the way Wanyan Ping and Yelü Yan looked at Yang Guo? That wasn't the way they looked at a companion; it was clearly... clearly the way they looked at a lover!"

Guo Fu bit her lip: "They were saved by Brother Yang, so it's normal to be grateful to him..."

"Does gratitude require that?" Wu Dunru shook his head. "Fu-mei, you're too naive. Yang Guo's journey to Zhongnan Mountain and back took almost a month, surrounded by so many beautiful women... Do you really think he remained unmoved?"

These words pierced Guo Fu's heart like a knife.

She recalled the scene of Li Mochou kissing Yang Guo when they first met that afternoon.

I recalled the way Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo followed behind Yang Guo, and I remembered those two masked women...

"Enough!" Guo Fu interrupted him. "Brother Yang isn't that kind of person!"

Even so, her voice was already trembling slightly.

Seeing her wavering, Wu Dunru was secretly pleased, but pretended to be heartbroken:

"Fu-mei, we grew up together. Your brother wouldn't harm you. Yang Guo... if he truly cared about you, he wouldn't have brought so many women back, much less let Li Mochou kiss him in public!"

"Yes, Fu-mei," Wu Xiuwen chimed in, "You're so beautiful, there's no need for you to hang yourself on Yang Guo's amorous tree."

Guo Fu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes:

"I trust Brother Yang. He promised he would treat me well."

After saying that, she ignored Da Wu and Xiao Wu and turned to leave.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at her back, exchanged a glance, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes.

"It seems that Sister Fu is determined," Wu Dunru said in a deep voice.

"Yeah, I wonder what kind of spell that kid cast on Fu-mei."

……

Guo Fu walked quickly back to her room.

After closing the door, she leaned against it, her mind in turmoil.

Da Wu's words echoed in her mind like a curse.

"Would a woman like Li Mochou make such a childish bet?"

"If Yang Guo truly cared about you, he wouldn't have brought so many women back..."

"Did you see the way Wanyan Ping and Yelü Yan looked at Yang Guo?"

Guo Fu shook her head vigorously, trying to shake those words out of her mind.

Will not.

Brother Yang is not that kind of person.

He promised to treat me well.

That night in the room, although we didn't end up doing anything, he was clearly very gentle...

Thinking of this, Guo Fu blushed.

tonight……

She looked at herself in the mirror.

She was dressed in pink and looked lovely, with beautiful features.

My mother always said that girls should be more proactive.

Now that Brother Yang is back, tonight... let's make it a fait accompli!

Once you become his person, he should settle down, right?

Thinking of this, Guo Fu felt a surge of courage.

She decided to take a shower and dress up nicely first.

But before taking a shower, I remembered the last time.

While taking a bath with Brother Yang, she pushed open the door and glanced at Yang Guo's room next door.

But there were no lights, and the room was dark.

strangeness.

Didn't Brother Yang leave a while ago? Why isn't he in his room?

A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be... that he went to find those two masked women?

Guo Fu's heart tightened, and she quickly walked to the courtyard gate, calling over a passing maid:

"Where do those two girls wearing veils stay this afternoon?"

The maidservant respectfully replied, "Miss, Madam has arranged for you to stay in the west courtyard."

Guo Fu bit her lip and turned to walk towards the west courtyard.

……

Meanwhile, in Wanyan Ping's room.

Wanyan Ping sat leaning against the headboard, wearing only a white bodice and thick gauze wrapped around her chest.

Yang Guo sat by the bed, carefully changing her dressing.

"It might hurt a little, just bear with it," he said gently, as he loosened the gauze.

Under the gauze, a thin scab had formed on the arrow wound, but there was still some redness and swelling around it.

Yang Guo took out the Jade Dew Powder from his pocket, dipped his fingertip in it, and gently applied it around the wound.

His fingers were long and slender, and his movements were gentle, bringing a cool sensation when his fingertips touched the skin.

Wanyan Ping's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not flinch.

These past few days, Yang Guo has been changing her dressings every day, and he has gotten used to this intimate contact.

But each time, my heart still beats a little faster.

"Brother Yang..." she said softly, "You've had a hard time these past few days."

Yang Guo smiled and said, "Don't mention how hard it is. Since I'm a human being, I naturally have to take responsibility to the end."

As he spoke, he continued applying the powder.

His fingertips brushed unintentionally along the soft edge of her chest.

Wanyan Ping trembled, her breathing becoming slightly disordered.

Yang Guo noticed it, but did not stop; he simply moved even more gently.

Just then—

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open!

Guo Fu stood at the door, staring in disbelief at the scene inside!

In the candlelight, Wanyan Ping was naked from the waist up, wearing only a bodice, with the gauze wrapped around her chest half untied.

Yang Guo sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers resting on the skin of her chest!

The two were in intimate poses, and the atmosphere was ambiguous.

"What...what are you doing?!" Guo Fu screamed, her voice sharp and piercing.
