The housekeeper came to inform him for dinner. Gu Shenyan took Ye Qinru back to the restaurant and left the seat. Only then did she find that Gu Xingzhi was sitting opposite her.

She smiled flatteringly at Gu Xingzhi, but she just felt that this person was really annoying.

Because Gu Shenyan hates him, she hates him too.

During the meal, the old lady kept talking about some past events, and Lu Yulin followed her with a few words.

Gu Shenyan was not keen on their topics, but just picked up food for Ye Qinru with chopsticks.

"Don't worry about picking up food for me, you can eat too."

Ye Qinru's appetite was not large, but Gu Shenyan seemed to want to raise her as a pig.

Suddenly she felt her calf was rubbed with her instep, frowned, and looked at Gu Xingzhi subconsciously.

Gu Shenyan sat next to her, and others would not do such things, only Gu Xingzhihui.

What does he want to do?

Gu Xingzhi curled the corners of his lips at Ye Qinru, and his eyes were filled with unknown meanings.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This man dared to secretly hook up with her in front of so many people? No wonder Gu Shenyan was so cold to him. Perhaps he knew his character very well.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Shenyan saw Ye Qinru holding up the chopsticks and staring blankly, and approached her ear and asked.

"nothing."

Ye Qinru shook her head. She didn't want to accuse Gu Xingzhi in front of her elders, which would make everyone embarrassed by that time.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Xingzhi became bolder and rubbed her calves with his instep.

She was lowering her head to eat the vegetables, and her hands subconsciously shook, and the vegetables fell into the bowl.

Seeing everyone staring at her, she smiled awkwardly, feeling extremely annoyed.

Damn Gu Xingzhi, is he digging Gu Shenyan's corner?

A sharp look flashed in Ye Qinru's eyes, and she deliberately touched the chopsticks, "Sorry, I'll pick them up right away."

She bent down to pick up chopsticks, and sure enough, she saw Gu Xingzhi not wearing any shoes. She sneered silently and quickly stabbed the silver needle in her hand towards his instep. She heard him crying in pain, "Oh!"

"What's wrong?"

The old lady looked at Gu Xingzhi, and his face became very ugly.

"fine."

Gu Xingzhi endured the pain and glanced at Ye Qinru.

The butler came up to take away the dirty chopsticks and replaced them with a pair of clean ones.

Ye Qin lowered her head and ate the vegetables as if nothing had happened, secretly happy in her heart.

The needle she had just stabbed Gu Xingzhi's acupoint, which was enough for him to be unable to move for a few days.

Gu Xingzhi felt that his feet were so painful that he couldn't lift them up. For face, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. He couldn't say that he was stabbed by Ye Qinru, right?

After the meal, Gu Xingzhi didn't bother to chat with the old lady and stood up to say goodbye, "Grandma, I have something to deal with, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, come to the old house tomorrow to chat with grandma."

The old lady called the housekeeper, "Old Chen, please send your farewell to the Zhi back."

"OK."

The butler nodded and walked towards the gate with Gu Xingzhi.

Every time he took a step, he felt his feet hurt, but he didn't dare to show it, cursing Ye Qinru in his heart.

Ye Qinru pulled the corner of her mouth, and she didn't take any action to teach Gu Xingzhi a lesson. He really thought she was easy to bully.

Gu Shenyan captured the smile on her lips and asked in a low voice, "What's so funny?"

"nothing."

Ye Qinru shook her head and did not tell Gu Shenyan what Gu Xingzhi had done just now.

First, there is no need, and second, I don’t want Gu Shenyan to do anything for her impulsively in front of her elders.

"Qinru, come on, give me a few more needles."

Lu Yulin and Ye Qinru went upstairs.

Gu Shenyan just stood up and was stopped by Gu Nansheng, "Shenyan, Gu's annual meeting will be held in ten days. How is the preparation?"

"Dad, the whole process has been decided, it is no different from previous years."

Gu Shenyan is not very concerned about the annual meeting every year, just follow the procedures.

"This year is the 20th anniversary. Your second uncle and his family will also come back to China to participate. You should be more grand."

Gu Nansheng reminded him, and Gu Shenyan nodded, "Okay."

Gu Shenyan knew that Gu Xingzhi would come back, so of course he didn't have to do it while he was idle.

The second uncle Gu Nanping just asked his son to come back to see everyone's reaction. After all, they took advantage of the major crisis in the Gu group and left the burden and ran away.

As things go by, the old lady loves her grandson, so she naturally won’t care about Gu Xingzhi. Gu Nansheng is a person who ignores past grudges and will not care about right or wrong with Gu Nanping anymore.

Ye Qin gave Lu Yulin a few injections as usual, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about her and then she slowly returned to the room.

Gu Shenyan leaned against the bed and read a magazine. He heard footsteps and looked up at Ye Qinru, "It seems that my mother is very dependent on your acupuncture now."

"Mom's sleep is not good. I'll give her acupuncture for a while, which will improve."

Ye Qinru sat on the sofa and looked a little tired.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Gu Shenyan got out of bed and walked to Ye Qinru, raised his hand and touched her forehead, "Don't have a fever."

"I'm fine, my lower abdomen is a little painful, maybe I'm about to have my menstrual period."

Ye Qinru had dysmenorrhea and her physical reaction told her that she would come to report her period soon, which made her feel relieved.

She has been vaguely uneasy these days because she is afraid that she will get pregnant that night.

Fortunately, it wasn't.

"Come on menstruation?"

Gu Shenyan suddenly couldn't explain what he felt. If Ye Qin had a period, it would mean that she was not pregnant.

Well, things won't get more complicated if she's not pregnant.

When she accepts him completely, it will not be too late for them to have children.

"I'll go take a shower."

Ye Qinru took her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Gu Shenyan sat on the sofa, leaning relaxed on the back of the sofa, waiting for Ye Qinru to come out.

She didn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep either.

"That...Gu Shenyan..."

Ye Qinru's voice came, and Gu Shenyan walked to the door and asked, "What are you going to do with me?"

"Uh, I just said I was going to have my period, but it turned out to be true, but I didn't prepare a sanitary napkin."

Ye Qinru blushed, "Can you help me get one first?"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Gu Shenyan thought that Lu Yulin had already fallen asleep and did not wake her up. He went downstairs to find the servants, but found that the servants had already gone to rest. He wouldn't have called people up because of a sanitary tampon.

Thinking of a convenience store in the villa area, he grabbed the car key and went out.

After driving to the convenience store in five minutes, Gu Shenyan walked directly to the counter selling sanitary tampons and was surprised to see so many varieties. This was the first time he had come to buy this for a woman, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

The shopping guide came to introduce to Gu Shenyan, "There are daily and night-time brands of sanitary napkins, and these brands are very good."

Gu Shenyan nodded, "Okay, you can help me pretend."

While stuffing sanitary napkins into the shopping bag, the shopping guide said in a nagging manner, "Women have menstruation, especially abdominal pain. It is best to stew some brown sugar and egg water for her to drink! You can also use a hot water bag to give her a hot compress to her abdomen to relieve pain!"

"good."
