Gu Zheng smiled. “Yes, it’s time for me to let her know the truth.”

Shen Yu knew that Gu Zheng did not mean to hide it from Little Six. He just wanted her to guess it herself. However, Little Six was too stupid and could not guess it.

But…

Shen Yu reminded him, “Little Six knows that you’ve been lying to her for so long. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be angry? President Gu, we know Little Six very well. She hates lies the most.”

Gu Zheng smiled and said slowly, “She won’t be angry.”

Gu Zheng was absolutely confident about this because Mrs. Gu had also hidden something from him. She had already paid the price for it and was still lying on the bed!

Shen Yu smirked. “You’re quite confident!”

The three of them gathered together to enjoy breakfast. Shen Yu could not help but ask, “Where’s Little Six? Why isn’t she here for breakfast yet?”

Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then smiled meaningfully. “She didn’t sleep well last night and is still resting.”

The moment that was said, Shen Yu suddenly choked on the water and looked at Gu Zheng in shock. Didn’t they say that Gu Zheng was incapable? How could he torture Little Six until she couldn’t get out of bed? Could it be that the rumors were fake?

At the thought of him and Luo Qing working together to drug Gu Zheng last night, Shen Yu could not help but feel a little guilty. He could only change the topic. “In that case, let Little Six rest well!”

Gu Zheng nodded and did not expose their actions.

After breakfast, the three of them sat on the sofa. Shen Yu’s expression suddenly turned serious. “We know that Little Six used her own blood to help you detoxify the poison. Now that your lives are linked, you have to remember that Little Six’s life is still tied to yours.”

Gu Zheng said casually, “Mr. Shen, you’re thinking too much.”

Then, Shen Yu took out a small yellow notebook and handed it to Gu Zheng. “This is the information Grandpa recorded. Read it carefully and remember it. If Little Six has any symptoms, you must be careful.”

Gu Zheng took it and nodded slightly. “Thank you. I’ll protect her.”

After Luo Qing and Shen Yu left, Gu Zheng flipped open his notebook and carefully looked at the notes left behind by the divine physician.

The divine physician had recorded the symptoms that might appear after their lives were linked. The most prominent symptom was that one could hear the other party’s thoughts. Moreover, after the two of them had sex, the descendant of the divine physician would have the ability to hypnotize the poisoned party.

…

At two in the afternoon, Qiao Xi slowly woke up. Her entire body was aching, and her mind was heavy. She did not have any strength at all. She struggled to sit up on the bed, and the pain in her body caused her to instantly lie back down.

Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Damn! That bastard!’

Gu Zheng pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. He saw Mrs. Gu’s angry expression.

The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Mrs. Gu, if you can’t get up, sleep a little longer.”

Qiao Xi flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You still have the cheek to say that I can’t get up?! You went too far last night!”

Gu Zheng leaned closer and approached her face, staring into her eyes. It seemed that she did not know that she had hypnosis abilities. If she found out, then…

Before Gu Zheng could speak, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in Qiao Xi’s ears.

‘Mrs. Gu’s body is too weak.’

Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief. She finally understood. It seemed that every time they had sex, she would hear Gu Zheng’s thoughts the next day after she woke up.

So… was this compensation?

Gu Zheng stroked her cheek gently. “Are you still going to the art exhibition today?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded in Qiao Xi’s mind again. ‘If she insists on going, I should tell her earlier.’

Qiao Xi had a curious expression. What did Gu Zheng want to tell her? Was he hiding something from her?

She thought for a moment and said sweetly, “Of course! But I don’t have the strength. Can you help me wear my clothes? Ah Zheng~”

Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he said helplessly, “Alright.” Then, he picked Qiao Xi up and placed her by the bed before taking out a set of clothes from the wardrobe.

The moment he took off Qiao Xi’s nightwear, Gu Zheng gasped. Her body was covered in bruises, so he asked with heartache, “Does it still hurt?”

Qiao Xi looked pitiful. “It hurts.”

Gu Zheng frowned. Actually, he had already controlled his strength, but Qiao Xi’s skin was too delicate. If he exerted a little force, it would leave a mark. She was truly too weak.
