Gu Zhi spent the whole day at home and finally managed to destroy the bed. When Ming Shu came back, she saw that the two rooms had merged into one big room.
Ming Shu didn’t say anything. She only asked him, “Are you going to the Four Scenery Mountain next Saturday?”
“No.” Gu Zhi was puzzled. “Why are you asking me this?”
He Ren’nian called him just now to ask him whether he was going or not. He rejected him because he wanted to spend time with his wife.
Nothing was more important than his wife!
Yes!
This was the truth!
But how did she know about this? Did He Ren’nian contact his wife secretly?
“Oh, I’m going.”
Gu Zhi: “…”
The next second, Gu Zhi rushed into the bathroom and took out his cellphone. He called the little bastard. “He Ren’nian, I will be going to the Four Scenery Mountain.”
“… Chief Gu, when did you become so fickle? You rejected me so firmly just now!”
Gu Zhi replied calmly, “I want to go now, can’t I go?”
He Ren’nian raised his white flag. “…Sure, you win. Do you need me to fetch you later?”
“No need.”
Gu Zhi rejected him and hung up.
He looked at the man that was dangerously handsome in the mirror and smiled.
Yes.
This is how I should look!
Gu Zhi went out and called for food delivery.
After they finished eating, Gu Zhi shamelessly inched toward Ming Shu and hugged her forcefully. “How was the job today? Do you need any help?”
“I finished it.”
Gu Zhi was caught off guard. He almost forgot to breathe.
What was he needed for, then?
Other male protagonists… were all powerful and multi-talented. No matter what problem the female protagonist had, the male protagonist would be able to solve it.
Why did the roles change when it came to him?
He finally managed to have such an amazing identity.
Why didn’t she give him any chance to show off his abilities!
Ming Shu thought about the old ghost. “There is one thing.”
Gu Zhi perked up. “What thing? Tell me.”
Ming Shu said, “I want to dig a hole in someone else’s villa.”
Gu Zhi: “…” Repeat that.
F**k, why are you digging in someone else’s villa for?
How did the villa provoke you!

After cursing in his mind, Gu Zhi asked patiently, “Whose villa?”
She was his wife. Even if she wanted to dig a hole on Mars, he would have to agree.
“Meng Han’s…”
Gu Zhi: “…”
Where is my knife!
Let me kill her first!
Meng Han has so many villas. Which one does she want to dig at! What is her relationship with Meng Han? Tell me!
Ming Shu finished her sentence, “Neighbor’s villa.”
Gu Zhi immediately said, “I will get someone to do it later.”
As long as it was not Meng Han, everything was fine.
The male protagonist was very charismatic. He was afraid that his wife would go on the wrong path.
…
When it was time to sleep, Gu Zhi washed up and walked around the living room a few times.
“Wife, it’s time to sleep.”
Ming Shu replied calmly, “It’s still early.”
“It’s 11 PM. It’s not early.”
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “The night is just starting.”
Gu Zhi didn’t reply. He walked to the sofa and blocked Ming Shu from watching the television. He smiled frivolously at Ming Shu. “You’re right. The night is just starting.”
Ming Shu suddenly got lifted up. She grabbed Gu Zhi instinctively.
Gu Zhi lowered his head and kissed her. He said ambiguously, “Let me take you to experience the night.”
The bed in the room seemed to be different too. It was much bigger.
“Gu Zhi, don’t go too overboard.”
“How is this overboard?” Gu Zhi placed Ming Shu on the bed and climbed on top of her. He looked down at her. “I said that I would provide you with three meals a day. The three meals are done… I need to keep my promise, right?”
Three meals a day.
F**k, I didn’t see this trap.
She sunk into the soft blanket below her.
Gu Zhi kissed her furiously and her body went soft. She had no energy to think about the three meals a day.
“Gu Zhi…”
Gu Zhi kissed her and stopped her from speaking. Her fingers slid into her clothes and slowly crawled their way up.
The things in front of Ming Shu started moving. Everything started floating. It seemed unreal.
…
The next day…
Ming Shu got off the bed. The sunlight shone on her body. There was a coldness in the air. It was autumn.
Birds chirped outside the window.
A warm hand landed on her shoulder and pulled her back. She fell into a warm arm.
Gu Zhi hugged her tightly. “Wife, sleep with me for a while longer.”
“I’m hungry,” Ming Shu said.
“We can eat in a while…” Gu Zhi kissed her.
“I’m hungry,” Ming Shu repeated.
Gu Zhi sighed. He kissed Ming Shu for a while longer before getting off the bed. “What do you want to eat? The porridge from Deshan Restaurant is not bad. Do you like it?”
Ming Shu laid on the bed and replied in a lazy tone, “Yes.”
“The hibiscus pastry is not bad, either. Do you like it?”
“Yes.”
“How about the egg pudding? Do you like it?”
“Yes.”
“Do you like me?”
“No.”

Gu Zhi: “…”
Did she manage to react in time?
F**k, the system fooled me again! I gave up my points for nothing! Thumbs down!
Gu Zhi took out his cellphone angrily and ordered breakfast.
After that, he sat up on the bed and looked down on her. “How was my performance yesterday?”
Ming Shu eyes were closed halfway. When she heard Gu Zhi’s question, she opened them a little and said in a sleepy tone, “Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”
Gu Zhi didn’t want to listen to her. “You have not tried with any other people before. No matter how good or bad I am, you will only have me in the future.”
Then why did you ask me!
Ming Shu buried her face in the pillow. She didn’t want to bother with this lunatic in the morning.
However, Gu Zhi was not willing to let her go. He kept pestering her.
In the end, he had a fight with Ming Shu.
Or rather, he was beaten up the entire time.

Gu Zhi thought that he must have not been hard enough on her yesterday. That was why his wife still had the energy to hit him in the morning.
In the next few days, Gu Zhi was busy with the mayor’s case. Although the murderer was caught and there was the recording, there were still some difficulties in sentencing the murderer. Most importantly, it was related to things that couldn’t be explained by science.
Hence, Gu Zhi didn’t have any chance to even hold his wife’s hand after that day. There was no way he could put in more effort.
So angry.
I should just quit my job and go back to inherit my family fortune!
During this time, the Yao family had a hard time too.
Old Skin was caught.
The Gu family ended their partnership suddenly too. The Gu family would have losses when they ended the partnership, but the Gu family had a strong foundation and a huge business. They didn’t care about such small losses.
However, it was different for the Yao family. If they lost the partnership with the Gu family, they would be in trouble.
Father Yao guessed that this happened because of Ming Shu.
He saw her with Gu Zhi that day.
Gu Zhi was the only son of the Gu family. Although he was working as a policeman now, he would definitely go back to inherit the family business in the future…
Father Yao tried to salvage the situation.
The Gu family was still willing to see him at the start but toward the end, they stopped meeting him.
They stayed firm in their decision.
WIthout Old Skin, it was hard for Father Yao to do anything. Also, the Gu family… a big family like this might have people working for them too.
Father Yao had no choice but to look for other business partners.
Gu Zhi managed to settle everything before going to the Four Scenery Mountain and applied for his annual leave immediately.
The mayor’s case was closed and there were no other big cases currently. Hence, the bureau accepted his request.
Gu Zhi packed his things happily and prepared for his date with his wife.
The mountain was a good place to cultivate relationships.
He felt that his wife was starting to like him.
