Su Lingzhi spent an hour in the bathroom, taking a shower, applying a facial mask, blow-drying her hair, drying her hair, applying body lotion, removing the facial mask, applying water and essential oils, and starting to use skin care instruments.

When she came out, Gu Zhen was reading emails on his phone. He looked up at her. Su Lingzhi's cheeks were white with pink, more tender than the buds about to bloom in spring. Her long curly hair was fluffy and shiny. She was tall, with fair skin and beautiful looks. Every part of her caught his attention. Gu Zhen's eyes were slightly deep, and Su Lingzhi hesitated.

She said, "I...I'd better sleep next door."

"why?"

"I feel... a little uncomfortable." Su Lingzhi's face flushed.

Gu Zhen put down his phone and walked towards her step by step, like a hunter locking onto his prey, giving Su Lingzhi a strong sense of oppression. Su Lingzhi's eyes drifted towards the door, as if considering whether to escape.

"Why are you uncomfortable?" Gu Zhen lifted her chin and gently stroked the side of her face with his thumb. "Do I look like an unsatisfied beast?"

Su Lingzhi thought to himself, they look quite similar!

She thought so, but she didn't dare to say it. Gu Zhen snorted, "Su Lingzhi, from the beginning, you were the one who pestered me. Now that you have achieved your goal, aren't you happy?"

His attitude is a bit aggressive.

"I should be happy." Su Lingzhi chose his words carefully.

"should?"

"But I lost my memory. I only remember you celebrating my birthday and slapping Su Wan in the face. Everything else... everything else... happened suddenly. Mr. Gu, can you understand?" Su Lingzhi looked at him expectantly.

"No!" Mr. Gu cut off her hope.

Su Lingzhi looked at him in disbelief. She had never expected that he could be so ruthless and straightforward.

Gu Zhen's face was cold, just like when they first met, "Why are you pursuing me? Is it for love, to marry me? If so, then sleeping together is a matter of time, how can it be so sudden?"

"I...I...have no experience, so I'm nervous!"

"Oh!" Gu Zhen said coldly, "You have a lot of experience. Your first love was Qin Shen, and you also dated Gu Jialiang."

"How do you know?" Su Lingzhi blurted out, his eyes widened in shock, and he turned around and ran, but Gu Zhen grabbed his shoulders, picked him up and threw him on the bed.

Gu Zhen said, "It's been more than half a year since your birthday, is there anything I don't know?"

Su Lingzhi was thrown into the soft bed, feeling a little dizzy. She hurriedly wrapped herself in the quilt, alert and worried, "Are you...are you...are you angry?"

"Ok!"

Su Lingzhi gritted her teeth and was about to explain, but Gu Zhen had already laid down beside her and turned off the lights. The room instantly fell into darkness. Su Lingzhi lost the ability to speak and became a stiff mute.

They were sleeping on the same bed, very close to each other, but she was too scared to move. Su Lingzhi even slowed down her breathing. Just as she was getting nervous, she was suddenly held in Gu Zhen's warm arms. He stretched out his hand and held her head, and with the other hand he clasped her waist, holding her tightly. It was the persistence after losing and regaining that would not allow her to make the slightest mistake again.

"Boss Gu..." Su Lingzhi stiffened even more like a stone. Gu Zhen kissed her forehead tenderly, which was rare, and said softly, "Go to sleep peacefully. Good night."

He just wanted to hold her, feel her body temperature, her heartbeat. She was no longer an illusory fantasy, no longer Su Lingzhi who appeared in his ears from time to time, speaking evil words and expressing hatred.

Su Lingzhi slept more deeply than she thought. When she woke up, she heard the sound of water in the bathroom. Just as she was about to get up, the bathroom door opened. Su Lingzhi lay back down, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Gu Zhen approached the bed, bent down and kissed her, bringing a burst of wet steam. Su Lingzhi heard footsteps again. She secretly opened her eyes and noticed that Gu Zhen's walking posture was a little strange, as if he was limping. She pulled the quilt tighter.

Gu Zhen went to the cloakroom and changed into a set of home clothes. Doctor Lin had already arrived. He was supposed to be hospitalized for his leg injury, but he had been running around recently and had not had a good rest. The wound was a little inflamed. Doctor Lin gave him an anti-inflammatory injection, told him to have a good rest and not to overwork, and also reminded him of some dietary taboos.

Gu Zhen listened very carefully, but Doctor Lin suspected that he didn't hear anything at all. Anyway, it was enough for Butler Zhao to know. He also made a diet list that would be good for Gu Zhen's wound recovery.

After Dr. Lin left, Gu Zhen asked Xu Fei to prepare for his proposal, choose a venue, and invite guests. He wanted everyone to witness his proposal ceremony. Xu Fei was confused, "Master, this..."

"Go do it!" Gu Zhen made the final decision.

Xu Fei's heart was beating wildly, "Yes!"

Xu Fei had been with Gu Zhen for so many years and was familiar with his personality. Even if he was proposing, Gu Zhen didn't want to be watched by others. This was a private and joyful thing. He would definitely propose to Su Lingzhi in private and would not make it public. The fireworks and drone show half a year ago were largely because he wanted to support Su Lingzhi. What Su Wan had, Su Lingzhi must have too. Otherwise, he would never make such a big fuss for love.

Maybe he really loves Miss Su very much.

The book says that a proposal should be grand and ceremonial, and the master must want to give Miss Su the most perfect experience.
