The afternoon sun is as bright and hot as molten gold, pouring down on the quiet road. There are few people and cars, adding a touch of laziness to this hot summer day.

Gu Ranle drove the car leisurely. The scenery along the way unfolded slowly like a scroll. She cast admiring glances from time to time. At the same time, she also carefully prepared some delicious food and drinks.

After two hours of driving, Gu Ranle finally arrived at Gu Cheng's most expensive high-end villa area - Yundingshanju.

The environment here is elegant, and the villas are well-arranged, showing luxury.

Thanks to Ling Yun's thoughtful arrangements in advance, Gu Ranle's car had a smooth journey and arrived directly at Villa No. 5.

After parking the car, Gu Ranle threw the car keys to Ling Yun who was coming towards him, with a smile on his face.

"There are some food and drinks in the trunk. Share them with everyone."

Ling Yun took the key and responded happily: "Thank you, Miss! I thank you on behalf of everyone else."

As Gu Ranle walked into the house, she asked casually, "Is your husband still awake? The sun is about to set."

Ling Yun smiled bitterly and replied, "I woke up early, but he told us not to enter the room. I don't know what mysterious things he was fiddling with in the room."

"Really?" Gu Ranle raised his eyebrows, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Although this was only her second time stepping into Villa No. 5, she did not consider herself an outsider at all.

After entering the house, she went upstairs with ease and walked towards Li Shenzhi's room with a clear goal.

The bedroom door was tightly closed. She pushed it, but found that it was locked from the inside.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Gu Ranle knocked on the door gently, but there was no response from inside.

She waited for a moment and knocked again, but Li Shenzhi still did not respond.

Gu Ranle frowned slightly and said unhappily, "If you don't welcome me, forget it. I'll leave."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the stairs.

As she reached the stairs, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her.

Li Shenzhi finally walked out of the room, but Gu Ranle did not stop, but continued to walk downstairs.

"Bao, where are you going?" Li Shenzhi's voice came from behind, with a hint of urgency.

Gu Ranle didn't even turn around and replied angrily: "Go home! You don't welcome me, why are you staying here?"

Li Shenzhi sighed, controlled his wheelchair and chased to the stairs, explaining: "It's not that you are not welcome, but there are some things that need to be dealt with, so I didn't have time to open the door."

"is it?"

Gu Ranle leaned on the handrail of the stairs, slowly turned around, looked up, and her eyes were fixed directly on the man upstairs.

His face was covered in sweat or water, making it look particularly blurry, and the aura he exuded was full of fatigue and heaviness.

Her eyes carefully traced his figure, finally stopping on his legs.

At that moment, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes, as if she had seen through the secret.

Li Shenzhi also felt her gaze. He lowered his head and looked at his legs. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "I have something to tell you."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the bedroom.

Gu Ranle stood quietly on the stairs for a few seconds, as if digesting his words, then she took another step and followed firmly.

In the bedroom, Li Shenzhi was wiping his face with a towel. Hearing the noise behind him, he turned around.

Gu Ranle closed the door, her eyes fell on his face again, and asked: "So, what's on your face is sweat, not water?"

Li Shenzhi uttered "hmm" lightly, then skillfully controlled the wheelchair to turn around and face Gu Ranle.

Her question followed, "Are you secretly practicing walking?"

He shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, "I can barely stand up now."

"Then why didn't you mention that you had feeling in your legs when we met this morning?" Gu Ranle asked, her eyes sharp, as if to penetrate his mind.

Li Shenzhi sighed and said slowly: "I didn't feel anything at that time. After you left, Li Tingsheng called me and asked me to go to the hospital. In the hospital, we had an argument, and I fell off the wheelchair in excitement. I didn't feel anything unusual at the time, but when I was taking a nap, my legs suddenly hurt, clear and continuous, more obvious than last time."

Li Shenzhi briefly explained it to Gu Ranle.

"So, as soon as you regained consciousness, you couldn't wait to stand up, or even try to walk?"

Gu Ranle stared at him intently with a sharp gaze, and that look was like a sharp scalpel that went straight into the depths of his heart, cold and penetrating.

Her words continued to bombard like a string of cannonballs.

"I know that you are eager to stand up, walk, or even run. But you must understand that haste makes waste. Being too eager for quick success will only make you lose more!"

After saying that, she took a step forward and pulled off the blanket covering Li Shenzhi's legs without hesitation.

Under the blanket, his legs were shaking violently like strings that had lost control, and he had absolutely no control over himself.

Seeing this scene, her face instantly became extremely embarrassed and her tone became more severe.

"If you still cherish your legs, don't be so self-righteous! Do you think you are so great now? Look, I can even stand up! This idea is so stupid!"

Li Shenzhi opened his mouth, but was speechless. He could only lower his head silently like an elementary school student who had made a mistake.

Gu Ranle wanted to continue scolding him, but seeing how ugly he looked, her words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

She calmed the waves in her heart, then picked him up without gentleness and laid him flat on the bed.

There was no gentleness in her movements as she roughly pulled the trousers off his legs, exposing his vulnerable legs.

"you……"

Li Shenzhi wanted to ask "What are you doing?", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Gu Ranle washed her hands, then took out an acupuncture tape from her bag. The silver needles flashed coldly in the sunlight.

As the silver needle accurately pierced the acupuncture points, Li Shenzhi's legs gradually stopped shaking, and the piercing pain seemed to be pulled away and gradually disappeared.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and all the muscles in his body relaxed.

However, during the entire process, Gu Ranle kept a stern face and said nothing, as if there was still unresolved anger bubbling in her heart.

Li Shenzhi lay there, not daring to breathe, let alone take the initiative to talk to Gu Ranle.

He knew in his heart that what happened today was indeed because he was too impatient and annoyed her.

She was really angry.

She was a little scary when she got angry.

After removing the needle, Gu Ranle turned around and left without saying a word.

Li Shenzhi opened his mouth and called her from behind, "Bao, I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay? I won't dare to do it again. I will listen to you obediently."

"Ah!"

Gu Ranle gave him a cold smile and walked away.
