Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Let's go back, it's almost time." Gu Chen, seemingly oblivious to her absent-mindedness, then addressed the viewers in the live chat, "Jin Chen's temper has always been like this. He might have some disagreements with Miss Ye, but they're not exactly mortal enemies. Some people don't need to try and muddy the waters anymore. Don't think you can hide it from me, do you?"

After he said that, the number of people in the live chat immediately decreased.

Wu Zhao shrugged. It seems Huo Jinchen's agent doesn't need to worry about his artist's love life staying on the trending topics list for a long time.

With Gu Chen's words, who would dare to write recklessly?

The two of them slowly walked back. When Yu Chen saw them return, he waved and said, "You're finally back. I just saw the trending topic. I didn't expect the big boss to go and rescue a beautiful woman."

Qi An and Shao Hanmei looked at Wu Zhao with concern before Qi An asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident," Wu Zhao said with a smile. "You all had a good time shopping, right?"

Shao Hanmei teased, "I was just wandering around when Mr. Gu saw your message and came to find you. He seemed very worried about you."

Wu Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Gu Chen nodded calmly and said, "Of course."

Mo Dahai was very excited because although Shen Jiaojiao had left, Wu Zhao's unexpected appearance brought a lot of attention to his show.

Investors have already called him asking him to prepare new programs!

The way he looked at Wu Zhao was exactly the same as how he looked at the God of Wealth. Although the live broadcast was a bit bumpy, the result was good!

Thinking this, Mo Dahai's gaze towards Wu Zhao became even brighter.

Feeling his gaze, Wu Zhao couldn't help but hide behind Gu Chen. She said, "Director Mo, are you planning some kind of surprise for me by looking at me like that?"

"Haha, no, it's just that I feel we have a special connection! I'd like to continue working with you if I have a new show in the future!" Mo Dahai laughed as he tentatively inquired.

Cameraman Wu Zhao, who was already standing with his colleagues, shook his head.

Wu Zhao didn't even want Su Yan's invitation, so why would he agree to work with Director Mo again?

Sure enough, Wu Zhao then said, "Forget it, I'm probably just not cut out for these kinds of shows. Something always happens when I come here."

"The entertainment industry is not for me, I'd better go home."

Mo Dahai wasn't discouraged by the rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, "Well, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Anyway, our recording went very smoothly today. Uh, it was completed perfectly, hahaha!"

He went on and on, explaining to the viewers in the live stream that some edited versions of the program would be broadcast later.

Wu Zhao yawned wearily, and Gu Chen leaned down and asked, "Are you tired? We'll take a car directly to the airport later and get some rest when we get back to the capital."

"Hmm. I am a little tired, but there are still many things to take care of when I get back..." Wu Zhao sighed, unable to help but complain, "I don't feel like I've rested at all..."

Her last sentence had a slightly rising tone at the end, carrying a peculiar quality.

Hearing her familiar tone, Gu Chen couldn't help but let a strange light flash across his eyes.

“If it’s not important, you can put it aside for now. It’s more important for you to get some rest when you get back,” Gu Chen said, reaching out to smooth the stray strands of hair from her forehead.

Wu Zhao raised his eyes and snorted softly: "Let's put aside anything related to the silly child at home?"

"The kid in the family is a bit slow?" Gu Chen thought for a moment and replied, "If he won't die anytime soon, let him worry for a few days."

Knowing who Wu Zhao was referring to, he naturally spoke very directly.

Huo Jinchen and Ye Linlang's affair could not be kept from Gu Chen, even though they had secretly registered their marriage without informing their families.

At that time, Gu Chen had no interest in breaking up the couple, until the Huo family somehow found out about it and interfered, trying to separate the two.

That's why Huo Tingchen paid special attention when he was about to marry Shen Jiaojiao.

I never imagined that the two brothers' marriages would be so complicated...

“You really are my own uncle.” Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow, but did not object to what he said.

After the recording ended, Qi An quickly said goodbye and left with Shao Hanmei. They were in a hurry to return to Beijing for surgery, so they simply said goodbye to everyone and rushed to catch their flight.

Yu Chen happened to run into the director he had worked with before while browsing the film studio, and decided to stay there for a while and play a cameo role.

Xie Buji left early. He originally wanted to say something to Wu Zhao, but Gu Chen stayed by Wu Zhao's side.

She noticed that Xie Buji seemed quite wary of Gu Chen, and wondered what had happened between them.

But judging from Xie Buji's appearance, he seems to still be hoping she will save his grandfather.

"Don't worry about him, let him do whatever he wants." Gu Chen watched Xie Bujie leave, and when he saw Wu Zhao's gaze linger on him, he said, "I had someone show him the agreement signed by his grandfather and your grandmother. If he can't find a solution, he will pay a heavy price."

No wonder he dared not see Gu Chen… Wu Zhao understood.

On the plane back to the capital, Wu Zhao quickly fell asleep.

Seeing her sleeping soundly, Gu Chen, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Wu Zhao's cheek.

Perhaps he was truly exhausted, for Wu Zhao did not react.

His warm hand lingered on her lips, gently caressing them. Gu Chen sighed softly, "Zhao Zhao, I hope you care, yet I also hope you don't..."

It turns out that his selfish motives have never changed.

He hoped she cared about the life and death of living beings, yet he also hoped she wouldn't care so much about those ordinary lives...

Her slightly cool, thin lips slowly curved into a very shallow arc.

"I'm actually... not as bad as you think..."

"Have mercy on all living beings..."

From the moment he fell in love, he could no longer look down on the masses from his lofty position.

He feels jealousy, fear, and anxiety...

A slightly damp sensation came through my fingers.

Gu Chen paused, then quickly withdrew his hand after noticing Wu Zhao's soft tongue brush against it.

His eyes shifted, his gaze deepening.

The black pupils were gradually tinged with gold, then slowly faded away.

He leaned close to Wu Zhao and placed a light kiss on Wu Zhao's forehead.

Sweet dreams, my great sorcerer.

……

The capital city. The Gu family's villa.

Ni Bo prepared a large table of dishes to welcome Wu Zhao.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the fragrance.

"Miss Wu, you're back. Come wash your hands and have some dinner!" Ni Bo greeted them with a cheerful smile.

Wu Zhao nodded in agreement: "Great! I've been missing Uncle Ni's cooking for ages!"

“Then I’ll definitely eat more later!” Uncle Ni said, then looked at Gu Chen and said, “Sir, you’ve worked hard too.”

Gu Chen nodded: "Uncle Ni has worked hard taking care of the family."

Huo Jinchen, sitting on the sofa sulking, was completely ignored by the two of them.

When Wu Zhao and Gu Chen went upstairs one after another, Huo Jinchen, who was still posing, couldn't sit still any longer.

He stood up angrily in protest: "How could no one see me here?!"

Ni Bo looked helplessly at this silly young master and sighed, "Young Master Jinchen, come and finish your soup. It's been simmering for two hours; it's your favorite pork rib soup."

Huo Jinchen sighed and immediately said, "Then I don't want cilantro, Uncle Ni!"

Shaking his head, Uncle Ni went into the kitchen.

I wonder who this young master Jinchen took after...
