The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Lu Yanshen continued working on the documents at hand, and said calmly, "I've realized I can't be so irresponsible."

"I see. But you're quite responsible."

"It's not that you think I'm very responsible, it's that I am responsible." Lu Yanshen didn't even lift his eyelids.

He knows whether he is responsible or not.

He was indeed a bad husband.

"Whatever," Gu Zhi shrugged, ignoring him. "So, from now on, you'll be doing this: bringing work home to handle and having dinner with your wife?"

"Pretty much. I'll try my best to have dinner with you every day, but sometimes I'm just too busy with work to do so," he said honestly.

"OK. You're so good to your wife, Lu Yanshen. I'm starting to fall in love with you. I love you, I love you."

Gu Zhi teased him.

She kept making heart shapes with her hands above her head.

His face was beaming.

Lu Yanshen didn't even glance at her.

There was no faith at all.

He had heard her say before that she loved his actions and thoughts.

It doesn't mean I love him as a person.

Gu Zhi laughed again.

Is this numbness caused by her love for you?

"By the way, thank you for going to the Qi family to back me up before."

She made a heart shape with her hands above her head.

Lu Yanshen then glanced at her. "Did Yanbai say that?"

"uh-huh."

Lu Yanshen remained silent and continued processing the documents.

"From now on, you don't need to lie; you can tell me the truth."

Lu Yanshen paused for a moment before saying calmly, "I thought you hadn't heard those comments, and besides, it's not something to be happy about."

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, I heard it, but I don't feel wronged. Even ordinary people can be gossiped about."

Lu Yanshen looked at her with surprise.

It's somewhat unexpected that someone who clearly can't stand being wronged can be so open-minded.

I can do it without caring at all.

What a magnanimous spirit!

You need to be more open-minded.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Zhi immediately laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you? I'm the kind of person who lives for the moment."

Lu Yanshen frowned deeply.

Carpe Diem?

The more someone is obsessed with living for the moment, the more likely they've experienced something in the past.

"Now you should know why I wanted to sleep with you so soon, instead of waiting until my leg was completely healed?" Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow, then another.

I understand now, I really do understand.

But Lu Yanshen immediately ignored her and went back to looking at the documents.

Gu Zhi chuckled twice before quickly saying, "I'll bother you for one more minute. Didn't you tell me this morning that you were going to work?"

Upon hearing her words, Lu Yanshen fell silent even more.

I immediately remembered how difficult it was for him to get up this morning.

Seeing his silence, Gu Zhi knew he had spoken.

laughed:

"Oh, it's true. I thought I was dreaming. But why did you have to tell me you were going to work? Was I awake then? You've never told me that in the morning before."

Lu Yanshen's feelings were complicated, but he still spoke the truth calmly:

"I want to get up for work, but you won't let me. So I have to tell you that I need to go to work, and then you have to hold the blanket up before I can get up."

I completely ignored how he coaxed her.

Especially the matter of calling her baby.

He simply couldn't bring himself to say those things.

……

The next day, Lu Yanshen had difficulty getting out of bed again.

Gu Zhi used him as a blanket, holding him tightly with both hands and feet, refusing to let him get up.

Knowing that Gu Zhi liked being pampered like a baby, Lu Yanshen decided to avoid taking any detours this time.

He gently called her "baby" and soothed her tenderly.

It still works very well.

Gu Zhi was coaxed into being obedient and soft-spoken, even whimpering as if she were being spoiled.

Lu Yanshen couldn't help but look back again before going into the washroom to wash up.

Gu Zhi woke up at nine o'clock in the morning.

Knowing that she was going to the hospital to visit Grandpa Gu again today, Uncle Zhou didn't even wait for her to have breakfast. As soon as he saw her coming downstairs, he instructed the driver to wait at the door in a Rolls-Royce.

After breakfast, Gu Zhi was helped into the car.

Uncle Zhou and the servants were very happy to see Gu Zhi recover so well.

Lu's Hospital.

The entrance to the VIP ward.

Secretary Zhao came out and said, "You can leave now. President Gu doesn't want to see you."

Apart from Zou Yuanhao, Grandpa Zou, Father Zou, and Mother Zou all smiled obsequiously.

"Please go in again and tell them that we've really come to apologize. We also want to visit him."

Secretary Zhao remained unmoved and repeated, "President Gu does not wish to see you."

The smiles of Grandpa Zou and the others froze on their lips.

Zou Yuanhao said angrily, "Fine, I won't see you then—"

Before he could finish speaking, Old Master Zou glared at him fiercely.

Zou Yuanhao had no choice but to shut up.

"Then we'll be going now, and we'll come back to apologize and visit another day," Old Master Zou said with a forced smile.

After saying this, the four of them took the elevator downstairs together.

As soon as he entered the elevator, Zou Yuanhao, still furious, said:

"Why should we apologize? Lu Yanshen will divorce Gu Zhi sooner or later anyway! I was furious when I saw you all begging and groveling to a secretary! What kind of people are you to deserve such servility from us!"

"How can you not see the situation clearly!"

Grandpa Zou immediately started cursing.

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes last time? Lu Yanshen personally went to the Qi family to pick up Gu Zhi and even carried her into the car!"

"I've also inquired. On the day Gu Zhi returned to her parents' home, Lu Yanshen carried her out of the car and pushed her inside!"

Whether they will get divorced in the future is something we can't control right now.

"All I know now is that Lu Yanshen doesn't dislike Gu Zhi."

"If someone as important as Lu Yanshen was truly forced to marry Gu Zhi by his grandfather and deeply dislikes her, it's impossible that he would still treat her so well!"

"He might not even accompany Gu Zhi on her homecoming!"

"And why would he personally pick Gu Zhi up from school and carry her in and out of the car!"

"They definitely won't get a divorce right now!"

"Since there's no immediate plan for divorce and he doesn't seem to dislike Gu Zhi, Lu Yanshen is highly likely to stand up for the Gu family and Gu Zhi!"

"Just think about how we humiliated the Gu family and Gu Zhi at the Gu family's family reunion banquet!"

"And at the Qi family's birthday banquet last time, you actually went and picked a fight with Gu Zhi!"

"I haven't slept at all for the past two days!"

"We were completely scammed by the Shen family!"

"If we don't apologize now and calm down the Gu family and Gu Zhi's anger, are we going to wait for Lu Yanshen to stand up for the Gu family and Gu Zhi because of this, and ruin our family?!"

Zou's mother also said:

"Yes, my dear son, we didn't care at all whether we had offended the Gu family and Gu Zhi before, because we all thought that Lu Yanshen would never stand up for the Gu family and Gu Zhi."

"But the situation is really different now!"

"Otherwise, who would want to apologize?"

"One's an old geezer who's never going to die, the other's a country bumpkin and a cripple!"

"We were actually a hundred times unwilling!"
