Having been reborn, why would he be afraid of Mr. Gu, who still has a white moonlight?

Song Wanwan chuckled inwardly, but it was a bitter laugh.

In her previous life, she devoted nearly eight years of her life to him, only to receive a divorce certificate and the news that he had married his new love.

With less than three months until the year is up, how could Gu Tingzhou possibly fall in love with her in just a few dozen days?

Grandpa Gu must have been afraid that outsiders would find out that his grandson, the dignified successor of the Gu family, had divorced less than a year after getting married. If word got out, it would be a laughing stock in the wealthy family, so he came up with this delaying tactic.

This guarantee is only a unilateral guarantee made by Song Wanwan. Many of the words used are too absolute and have no legal basis. Therefore, it does not need to be fulfilled.

But Grandpa Gu didn't use it to blackmail him; instead, he played the emotional card.

Song Wanwan couldn't stand this kind of subtle, manipulative approach.

Regardless of whether Gu Tingzhou loves her or not, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him again in this life.

What's wrong with waiting a few dozen more days?

Song Wanwan understood, and under Grandpa Gu's hopeful gaze, she said firmly, "Grandpa, I promise you, but I want to take back this guarantee, and I can't let anyone withdraw the divorce application."

Then we can get a divorce right away, without having to wait for any cooling-off period.

Grandpa Gu smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's fine."

After following Old Master Gu out of the study, Song Wanwan put the guarantee into her bag.

Grandpa Gu glared at Gu Tingzhou with annoyance, "Starting today, you and Wanwan will move back to the old house and live in your original bedroom in the main house."

Gu Tingzhou wanted to protest a few more times, but Old Master Gu directly ordered the butler, Uncle Zheng, to bring out a ruler.

"Take off your shirt."

"Old Zheng, give him ten strokes with the ruler as a warning. Let him know the consequences of his willful and reckless behavior."

Uncle Zheng replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

Gu Tingzhou glanced at his grandfather, not daring to say anything more, and unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time, revealing his upper body.

Uncle Zheng walked up to Gu Tingzhou with the ruler in his hand, nodded, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Young Master Tingzhou!"

After saying that, he slapped the ruler in his hand on Gu Tingzhou's back with a "smack".

One, two, three...

Song Wanwan thought it must be very painful, but Gu Tingzhou didn't utter a sound or even frown the whole time.

“Old Zheng, give him ten more strokes of the cane as a warning. Let him know that after getting married, he should settle down and put his wife first.”

After Uncle Zheng finished hitting the ten rulers, he continued hitting the child with the ruler.

Red marks quickly appeared on Gu Tingzhou's body, one after another, quite glaring.

Gu Tingzhou gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. Sweat beaded on his forehead and temples. His hands, which were resting on his knees, were clenched into fists, and the veins bulged.

Song Wanwan couldn't bear to look at it and turned her head away.

Grandpa Gu glanced at Song Wanwan and continued, "Old Zheng, give him ten strokes of the cane as a reminder. Let him know that he must obey the words of his elders."

Uncle Zheng glanced at the red marks that kept appearing on Gu Tingzhou's back, loosened his grip on the ruler, and started hitting his back again.

Song Wanwan closed her eyes, mentally counting the numbers one by one.

Thirty repetitions in total, not one less.

After the treatment, Gu Tingzhou's face and forehead were covered in sweat, large drops of which were dripping down his face, and his lips were somewhat pale.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the shirt next to him and put it on, letting out a cold sneer, and stood up abruptly.

Having knelt for so long, Gu Tingzhou felt a little dizzy when he stood up suddenly.

Just as he was about to fall, Song Wanwan instinctively stepped forward and caught him.

Once Gu Tingzhou had regained his footing, she immediately realized what was happening and let go of his hand.

Some things are ingrained in our bones and cannot be changed overnight.

Gu Tingzhou glared fiercely at Song Wanwan and said coldly, "Satisfied? You got what you wanted."

Before Song Wanwan could retort, Gu Tingzhou didn't even glance at her and walked towards the door.

Song Wanwan truly regretted her overzealous act of helping him up; she should have let him fall to the ground and kicked him a couple more times.

Isn't it just that you think you did it on purpose?

Okay! Then I'll spend the remaining few dozen days doing this to show you what it really means to act out, to make you unable to stand it, and to solidify your resolve to divorce yourself.

Song Wanwan had also wanted to voice her objection to living in the old house, but then she thought that if she lived here, she could meet Gu Tingzhou's second aunt and also find out about what happened between her and Gu Tingzhou in the hotel room in her previous life.

He then shut his mouth.

Mrs. Gu took Song Wanwan's hand and gently comforted her, "Wanwan, don't take it to heart. I've already asked Aunt Liu to pack up all your and Tingzhou's clothes and supplies, and they'll be delivered soon. If you need anything, we'll buy more."

Then he added, "Come on, I'll take you to Tingzhou's room and see if there's anything that needs changing. We'll just change it directly."

Song Wanwan had never entered Gu Tingzhou's bedroom in the main house. After they got married, every weekend when they came back, they would stay in Gu Tingzhou's private courtyard.

There are several rooms, so you can choose any one to stay in; the two of them always sleep separately.

Grandpa Gu really went to great lengths to bring the two together, insisting on keeping them under his watchful eye before he felt at ease.

When Song Wanwan arrived at Gu Tingzhou's bedroom on the third floor and opened the door, a faint fragrance wafted towards her.

The space is quite spacious, and the entire room adopts a simple and classic black and white style, giving people a cool and elegant feeling.

All I can say is that it's very 'Gu Tingzhou' style; the decor perfectly matches his personality.

After showing Song Wanwan around, Gu's mother asked, "Wanwan, is there anything you'd like to change? We'll go to the furniture store later and pick out some things you like."

The villa on the hillside was also decorated in this style, with Song Wanwan accommodating Gu Tingzhou's preferences.

Now, Song Wanwan smiled wickedly, agreed, and began to renovate Gu Tingzhou's room.

After lunch, Gu's mother took Song Wanwan to a home furnishing store to select some bedding and decorations.

As the selected items were delivered one after another, they were arranged.

The original black, white, and gray color scheme of the room remained unchanged, but the interior was completely replaced.

The dark blue sheets on the bed have been replaced with colorful tangerine blossoms, making it look like you're floating in a sea of ​​flowers—fresh and beautiful.

The dark gray curtains were replaced with deep sea blue ones, like the ocean.

Song Wanwan even specially chose a chaise lounge to place on the balcony, where she could lie down and relax whenever she wanted.

With this change of clothes and appearance, even Gu Tingzhou would probably feel like he'd entered the wrong room.

Once Song Wanwan finished, she clapped her hands in satisfaction.

I took Big White for a walk in the yard.

Although Da Bai originally belonged to Su Lina, it didn't stop Song Wanwan from liking it. It was also a very gratifying thing to raise her dog to only be affectionate towards her.
