The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 461 Monkey? The Great Sage!
Love Apartment 3602.

"Guan Gu, how did it go? Did you tell Wen Sheng and Youyou about it?"

Zhang Wei pushed open Guan Gu's magical bedroom-cum-studio and asked Guan Gu, who was sitting in front of the easel in a daze.

"say what?"

Guan Gu Shenqi didn't even turn his head.

"Nolan knows about Yu Mo's situation and that Youyou's filming is about to wrap up!"

"Don't worry, since I didn't commit seppuku, I've already told you everything."

"You really told him?" Zhang Wei took two steps forward, his eyes wide as he pressed, "Did you tell him everything?"

Guan Gu Shenqi shook his head: "I only told Wen Sang that Nuolan already knows about Yu Mo kissing him."

"Oh, what did Wensheng say?"

He said it was nothing, it was alright.

"Nothing's wrong?" Zhang Wei was surprised to hear this. After thinking for a moment, he asked doubtfully, "Brother Sheng, aren't you afraid they'll start fighting?"

Guan Gu did not answer the question, but turned back to look at the blank drawing paper in front of him.

Zhang Wei put aside his questions and asked Guan Gu Shenqi in surprise when he saw him like this, "Guan Gu, what's wrong? Wen Sheng said it was okay, he didn't blame you."

"It's not that I'm unhappy because of this, it's because of Youyou." Guan Gu sighed, "I haven't figured out how to tell Youyou yet."

"Yes, after I heard about Youyou's situation yesterday, I couldn't bear to look at her when I saw her watching her show in the living room last night."

After Guan Gu said that, Zhang Wei immediately sighed as well.

“But this can’t go on. Youyou will find out sooner or later.” Zhang Wei looked at Guan Gu Shenqi. “She’s filming the next episode next week. Even if you don’t tell her, she’ll definitely ask the crew for the script in the next couple of days.”

"What do you think about me rewriting a script for Youyou?"

Just then, Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Rewrite the script? Guan Gu, are you crazy?" Zhang Wei was taken aback. "Can you even write a script? Even if you did, how could the production team possibly agree to film it according to your script?"

"I don't want the crew to film according to my wishes; I want the crew to act for me."

"The film crew is there to act."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was..." Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head, somewhat agitated, "to have the film crew help me shoot a fake scene to fool Youyou!"

"You're trying to lie to Youyou?!"

"This isn't a lie! It's... a white lie!"

At this point, the emotional Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly calmed down, turned to Zhang Wei, and said, "This morning, I saw Youyou summarizing the shortcomings of the previous episodes. I also heard her say that next Thursday, the day filming starts, is her tenth anniversary as an actress. She's been an actress for ten years, and every time she died within five minutes, but this time she became the female lead, lived this long, and even has fans..."

As Guan Gu Shenqi spoke, his mood became increasingly depressed, and Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh as he listened.

"So I don't want to find myself... dead again on her tenth anniversary."

Silence fell in the bedroom. Zhang Wei had finally understood what Guan Gu Shenqi meant, and he fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a long silence, Zhang Wei patted him on the shoulder: "But... will the production team agree? Also, revising the script is a technical job. What if Youyou can tell the script is fake right away?"

"I'll figure something out with the production team. As for the script, I'm a cartoonist, so I have experience designing storylines." Although Guan Gu was also quite unsure, now that this method was available, he had to stick to his beliefs.

However, Zhang Wei remained skeptical, saying, "But your plots are all about love stories between cats and dogs, while Youyou's drama is a detective mystery, the styles are quite different!"

"This..." Guan Gu Shenqi felt even more uneasy, but he still forced himself to say, "I can't worry about that now. Anyway, the screenwriter of this show is an idiot. No matter how unreliable my plot is, it will at least be better than his!"

As for the clues that a suspenseful detective drama needs to leave behind, none of them were left in the first few episodes, so it doesn't matter if he makes up another episode now.

Seeing that Guan Gu Shenqi was so insistent, Zhang Wei didn't say anything more, shook his head and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "By the way, Guan Gu, besides telling Nuolan about Qin Yumo kissing Wen Sheng, did you also tell her about Yumo's phone confession?"

……

Nolan's feelings were complicated at this moment.

She had indeed suspected Qin Yumo a long time ago, and yesterday she confirmed her suspicions with Guan Gu Shenqi's words.

It really was Qin Yumo!
It seems that Tang Youyou acted as a shield for Qin Yumo back then.

But just as Wen Sheng predicted, what good would it do to know?
It's fine to say that Qin Yumo and Wen Sheng are friends or family, but it's unacceptable to say that they're having an affair.

and……

Thinking back to what Wen Sheng said at the foot massage parlor, and the delicate relationship between them now, what stance should she take to escalate the "misunderstandings" she knew about?

Previously, when facing Tang Youyou, who was a fake love rival, she initially seemed like a crazy woman who had lost her mind. However, after calming down for a while, she has regained her composure.

Otherwise, she would have questioned Wen Sheng last night.

It was precisely because of her composure that Nuolan came to find Qin Yumo alone today.

If it were before the divorce, she would definitely throw a tantrum in this situation, but after so many things have happened, she is no longer the same person she used to be.

As the saying goes, you catch a thief red-handed, or an adulterer in bed. She can't possibly act like she's there to catch a mistress in this situation.

He came to see Qin Yumo more to test her and see if she was a rival in love.

If what happened in the past was really just an "accident," then she would turn a blind eye and pretend it never happened.

If it wasn't an "accident," then she... still couldn't do anything.

As the saying goes, you have to catch them in the act.

However, during her exchange with Qin Yumo just now, she suddenly found herself unable to figure out her opponent's tactics.

"Yu Mo, do you have a problem with me?"

"..."

Qin Yumo, who had just launched a counterattack, was happily applying serum to Nuolan's face when she suddenly heard Nuolan say this.

What's her strategy this time?
A big question mark popped into Qin Yumo's mind. The two of them had just exchanged opinions on traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, so why did the other party suddenly ask this question directly?
Why ask such a stupid question that's completely pointless!

Of course there are complaints! Some people are even so upset they want to replace the serum with sulfuric acid and throw it on your face!

"Huh? Why would you ask that? You're my friend, why would I have a problem with you?"

Qin Yumo's tone was initially surprised, then she chuckled, and the fingers on Nuolan's face became even gentler.

Nolan, using a different approach, smiled with her eyes closed and said, "Maybe I'm being too sensitive. What you said just now made me think you were talking about me!"

Nonsense! I'm insulting you!

"How could that be? Don't overthink it. I'm just helping you analyze the effects of traditional Chinese medicine." Qin Yumo smiled faintly and added, "You know, that's how traditional Chinese medicine is. It's always made mysterious with its names and allusions, which makes people overthink."

"I see, that makes sense."

Nuolan responded softly, as if acknowledging Qin Yumo's answer.

However, before Qin Yumo could breathe a sigh of relief, Nuolan said, "I was indeed overthinking it. When I heard you mention those Chinese medicines, I thought you didn't approve of our relationship."

"..."

Qin Yumo's expression stiffened. Why was this woman switching from subtle banter to playing truth or dare?

But since the other party has asked this question, how can I really tell them what's on my mind?

"Of course not."

"So, you also think that Wen Sheng and I will successfully remarry?"

"..."

Qin Yumo, who was still stroking Nuolan's face, suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Nuolan, who lay beneath her with her eyes closed. Good grief, was she waiting for this?
But I already said that...

"Of course."

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, Yu Mo."

Nuolan smiled, and even raised her hand to pat Qin Yumo's hand that was resting on her face, then sighed and said:
"Yu Mo, to be honest, when Wen Sheng and I were getting a divorce, part of the reason was that another woman was clinging to him. But I was too impulsive at the time, and only later did I realize that I had misunderstood him."

“We were together for so long, and I was still being pampered by him like a child. It wasn’t until we got divorced that I felt like I had grown up a bit. So I’ve always regretted my impulsive decision back then and want to make up for everything.”

"After Wensheng moved to Love Apartment, I fell back into my old habits and became suspicious. So when I came to the apartment a while ago, I was a bit...inappropriate and even had a little argument with Youyou...Luckily, Youyou is generous and doesn't hold it against me."

"It was because of this incident that I understood why Wen Sheng and I still have such a good relationship but he has never remarried me. It's because I haven't really grown up yet."

"So I'm slowly changing and learning to grow, but I love Awen too much. I just want things to get back on track, which is why people might think I've gone a bit too far."

"Yu Mo, you're a woman too, you can understand me, right?"

"..."

It seems that Nuolan had been holding these words in her heart for too long, and now, because Yu Mo's spa treatment was so comfortable, her heart had softened, which is why she told Yu Mo these words.

Perhaps it was because she had finally spoken these heartfelt words containing memories, reflections, and emotions that a few tears involuntarily streamed down Nuolan's closed eyes and slid down her cheeks onto Qin Yumo's hand.

Qin Yumo just stared at her blankly, unable to speak, and his fingers seemed unable to move.

Only her granary, hidden beneath her business attire and hovering above Nuolan's forehead, rose and fell with the changing emotions of her heart.

Nuolan opened her eyes at this moment, her gaze sweeping over the other person's granary and landing on Yu Mo's eyes. She smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry, Yu Mo, I've said too much. You may not have been able to digest it all at once. I didn't want to say so much, but after chatting with you just now, I couldn't help but want to explain it to you."

“Yu Mo, you’re right. We’re friends. After A Wen and I divorced, I’ve devoted all my energy to my work. I don’t have many friends. I didn’t want you to misunderstand, and I didn’t want to lose you as a friend, so I’m finally saying what’s been on my mind for so long.”

Nolan raised her hand again and gently covered the other person's hand that was on her face.

"Yu Mo, we're still friends, right?"

'We just captured a few demons, and then subdued a few more monsters.'

'There are so many demons and monsters!'

'I'll kill you until your soul is gone and your spirit is gone.'

Even gods trembled, and ghosts shuddered; the wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards had nowhere to hide.

'...'

Suddenly, music started playing in Qin Yumo's mind. In a daze, she thought she saw a monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth rushing towards her, waving a stick and shouting, "Fairy, give my master back!"

She had initially thought she could easily fight him for hundreds or even thousands of moves, but as the golden cudgel drew closer to her forehead, she felt a sudden chill run down her spine and instinctively cried out:
"Great Sage... uh, Nuolan, of course we're friends!"

"That's good, that's good!" Nuolan's smile brightened. "Yu Mo, can I ask you for a favor?"

……

Zhuge Dasheng sat in the car, gazing out the window at the elementary school gate not far away, his focus shifting between near and far.

She only focused her attention on her daughter after a tiny figure walked out of the school gate.

Zhuge Dali quickened her pace slightly, walked to the car, opened the passenger door, but didn't get in right away. Instead, she asked curiously, "Mom? What's wrong? You've been spacing out."

"..."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Attorney Zhuge was taken aback, then said irritably, "What do you mean by spacing out! I was just thinking about the case, get in the car and go home!"

"Oh."

Seeing this, Zhuge Dali dared not ask any more questions and had no choice but to obediently get into the car.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, sniffed and said, "It smells so good, it smells like braised pork?"

"You have such a keen sense of smell!" Zhuge Dasheng glanced at her as he started the car. "I'm not cooking tonight; there's some takeout for you in the back seat."

"That's great!"

Zhuge Dali's face immediately lit up with surprise, but upon seeing her mother's expression, she quickly suppressed her smile.

"Is my cooking not good?"

"I asked in a bad tone," Attorney Zhuge asked.

"No! Mom, your cooking is delicious!" Zhuge Dali said with a dry laugh. "Especially after reading Uncle's recipes, my cooking is even better now."

"..."

Upon suddenly hearing about that scoundrel from his daughter, Attorney Zhuge immediately fell silent.

Zhuge Dali looked back at the takeout box and then asked with a smile, "Mom, why did you think of packing this for me today? You never pack food for your social engagements before."

Zhuge Dasheng looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. Her daughter's words left her momentarily speechless. If it had been before today, she would have told the truth without hesitation, but after what had happened before...

She hesitated for a few seconds before telling the truth: "It wasn't a business dinner. I had dinner with Wen Sheng before coming here, and he wanted to take it home."

Attorney Zhuge cannot bring himself to lie to his daughter.

"You had dinner with that older man? Just the two of you?" Zhuge Dali immediately raised her voice, her tone surprised. "You didn't wait for me?"

"..."

"I have something to talk to him about, why are you waiting for me?" Attorney Zhuge tried to keep her tone calm.

Zhuge Dali pursed her lips, not saying much after hearing this.

But soon she muttered, "That old man is really something. He didn't even tell me I could write a greeting card when I bought the flowers."

"Mom, should I ask the uncle to deliver it for me again?"

……

Night, Love Apartment 3602.

Wen Sheng pushed open the suite door and saw that no one was in the living room. He activated 'Wen Sheng Sense' and realized that apart from Guan Gu being in the studio, Zhang Wei and Lu Ziqiao were not home in the suite.

So he tiptoed to Yu Mo's room, turned the doorknob, and went inside.

As soon as Wen Sheng entered the room, he saw Qin Yumo sitting at her desk, staring blankly at the door. She didn't even notice when he opened the door.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng closed the door, walked slowly to her side, and waved in front of her.

"Yu Mo? Yu Mo!"

"Huh? Ah!"

Qin Yumo was startled when she came to her senses, but breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw who was in front of her.

"You scared me to death! You walk without making a sound!"

"No way! You're too observant. You didn't even hear me opening and closing the door." Wen Sheng chuckled, leaning closer to ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"Uh……"

When Wen Sheng suddenly leaned closer, Qin Yumo, unusually, didn't hook her arms around his neck and kiss him; instead, she shrank back.

"Thinking about...work."

"..."

Qin Yumo's reaction had already been fully observed by Wen Sheng. Seeing the other party's evasive eyes when she said these words, a huge question mark couldn't help but pop into his mind.

What happened?
As for Qin Yumo, at this moment, all she could think about was the request her good friend had made to her earlier that day.

"Yu Mo, you're my friend, could you... keep an eye on Wen Sheng for me when I'm not around?"
