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

Although Lu Yanshen said that, Gu Zhi still added:

"If you have a headache, just go outside for a while. It's okay. We're all family, and we all know you don't like crowds. Nobody will blame you."

Lu Yanshen stared at Gu Zhi with cold eyes.

After a long pause, he nodded and softly replied, "Mm."

Lu Yanbai was very well behaved just now.

He knew the elders were talking about something important—his older brother and sister-in-law's wedding.

Now that the conversation is basically over and the meal has started, he can chat about other things casually, and that's when he becomes more talkative.

While eating, he said to Gu Zhi, "Sister-in-law, I'm going on a trip with my classmates tomorrow. I probably won't be back until close to the start of the new semester."

Gu Zhi was a little envious.

She also enjoys traveling.

Unfortunately, her leg isn't fully healed yet, so she can't go.

"Then I hope you have fun," Gu Zhi said.

"Of course I'm happy, I have no pressure. Ever since I found out you skipped grades to get into Tsinghua or Peking University at the age of thirteen, I've had even less pressure and I'm completely relaxed."

Gu Zhi was amused: "How so?"

"Because no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with you guys! I'll just stay stuck at the bottom of the family rankings!"

Gu Zhi laughed even harder, "You talk as if you've actually tried."

Anyway, she never saw him make any effort.

Lu Yanbai, thick-skinned as ever, chuckled:

"That's because I know that even if I try, it's useless!"

"Look at him, my older brother didn't put in any effort. He just glanced at it and he knew it. Back in school, he was always number one."

"I haven't seen my second brother work very hard, but he always comes in first place."

"Although my third brother aspires to be in the entertainment industry, I haven't seen him work very hard. But whenever he takes an exam, he always gets first place."

"I actually need to work harder?"

"Those who need to work hard are those who lack talent."

"Can I outperform you naturally gifted competitors?"

Not only did he make Gu Zhi laugh uncontrollably, but Lu Yanchi was also so amused by his silly younger brother that he almost collapsed on the table laughing.

After dinner, the two families sat together for a while and chatted for a bit before Grandpa Gu started to show signs of fatigue.

Considering that Grandpa Gu's health had not fully recovered, Lu Yanshen and Gu Zhi took him home.

With so many people on Old Master Lu's side, especially the younger ones like Lu Yanlin, they didn't let Lu Yanshen and the others come back to see them off; they all went straight home.

After arriving home, Grandpa Gu lay down to rest.

Lu Yanshen then escorted Gu Zhi home.

After dropping Gu Zhi off at the villa on the hillside, even though it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, Lu Yanshen still went to work at the company.

Gu Zhi didn't go upstairs; instead, she did rehabilitation exercises in the living room to correct the abnormal walking posture caused by not walking for a long time.

She was on the phone with her best friend.

"A dowry of billions? All for you, in your name? Ah, I'm so envious! This will make you, who's already rich, even richer!"

Jiang Nian screamed exaggeratedly.

Jiang Nian was extremely excited to hear that Lu Yanbai was going on a trip tomorrow.

"I haven't traveled in ages. I haven't been anywhere since you injured your leg. Once your leg heals, we definitely have to go on a trip!"

Gu Zhi immediately said:

"Absolutely! Do you know what kind of life I've been living since I injured my leg? It's been so restrictive!"

Jiang Nian laughed loudly, "You're like a wild horse that's suddenly had its legs restrained. I don't even want to think about how crazy you'll be when your legs are healed."

Gu Zhi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you along on this crazy adventure."

Jiang Nian: "Then I'm relieved! By the way, since we can't go on a trip, how about we go out for karaoke? It's been a long time since we've shared a private room and sung together. We still haven't spent all the money we topped up at that karaoke bar before."

Gu Zhi: "Sure, when?"

"It's already this late today, let's do it tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

OK.

……

The next day, Lu Yanshen had breakfast and was about to go to work.

Suddenly remembering that he had casually left a document on his bedside table last night, Lu Yanshen went upstairs to his room to retrieve it.

Just then, Gu Zhi was about to get up.

"Do you have something to do today?" Lu Yanshen asked while picking up the documents.

She usually doesn't get up this early when she's not busy.

Gu Zhi nodded. "I made plans with Niannian to go to karaoke today, and we'll probably go shopping too."

Lu Yanshen didn't ask any more questions and took the documents to leave.

But after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Be careful with your legs when you're out having fun."

Gu Zhi was sitting on the edge of the bed putting on her slippers when she heard this, and she immediately perked up.

Ever since he said he should spend more time with his wife, no matter what, he should spend his time with her.

I feel like he's becoming more and more concerned about her.

She quickly replied, "You're so concerned about me now, thank you! I love you too!"

Because she was putting slippers on her feet with both hands, she didn't make a heart shape with his hands.

Lu Yanshen was taken aback upon hearing this.

Is he concerned about her now?

no.

However, compared to the day they first met, he now cares about her quite a bit.

But isn't he her husband?

It's normal for him to care about her so much, right?

Lu Yanshen said, "There's no need to thank me later. We're husband and wife, it's only right."

It's because of this again.

Gu Zhi was used to it.

He immediately raised one hand, making an OK sign to Lu Yanshen, and said, "OK OK."

It was more than half an hour after Lu Yanshen went to work that Gu Zhi came downstairs to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Gu Zhi did rehabilitation exercises in the living room to ensure her gait remained stable.

She waited for Jiang Nian to come and pick her up.

Jiang Nian didn't arrive until 9:30.

Seeing Gu Zhi walking slowly and trying to keep her gait steady, she said, "Judging from your condition, you should be fully recovered by the end of this month, or even before the beginning of next month, right?"

"Well, it's only the 7th today, there's still a long time until the end of the month."

"That's a long time? At most, it'll be twenty days or so."

As Gu Zhi slowly walked out, she glanced at her and said, "You don't understand how I felt after being bound for so long."

Jiang Nian laughed heartily: "I understand, I understand. Actually, I've been holding back for a bit too. Just think about how carefree we were when your leg was healed."

The car door was already open, and Gu Zhi, without needing anyone's help, slowly sat down in the passenger seat.

Uncle Zhou and the servants had already folded up the wheelchair.

Jiang Nian took it, but instead of putting it in the trunk, she put it directly on the back seat, thinking it would be easier to take it out that way.

Then Jiang Nian drove Gu Zhi out.

The two did not go straight to the karaoke bar.

They both felt it was still early, so they went shopping first.

After having lunch, we went to our usual karaoke bar.

The car was parked in front of the KTV.

Jiang Nian got out of the car first, tossed the car keys to a waiter at the KTV, and asked him to drive her car to the underground parking garage later.

Then she opened the back door and took out Gu Zhi's wheelchair.

Then he unfolded the wheelchair and placed it on the ground.

Gu Zhizheng slowly got out of the car by herself.

After coming down, she didn't insist on walking slowly into the KTV on her own. Instead, she sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the KTV by Jiang Nian.

Neither of them noticed that Shen Yuyao and Zou Yuanhao walked out of the shopping mall across the street.
