I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 294 Lady Wu: Go and close the door.
Faced with Zhuge Dasheng's doubts, Gu Yifan simply laughed it off.

Which lounge has a better view? I'd like to invite Ms. Qin to take a look.

Let's talk about life ideals and the like.

After hearing this, Zhuge Dasheng smiled and said, "You're just being cheeky."

After thinking it over carefully, she didn't think there was anything between the two of them.

Although Yu Mo's expression just now seemed a bit awkward.

"Sister Dasheng, please come in and have a seat. What would you like to drink?" Gu Yifan gestured towards the lounge, extending an invitation.

"..." Zhuge Dasheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, walked into the rest room, and added, "Plain water is fine."

When she saw the water glass on the coffee table and the smooth, uncreased bed, her last doubts vanished.

Arriving in such a private place, Zhuge Dasheng, already feeling somewhat complicated, began to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Her dignified face was slightly flushed; she was too preoccupied with her own affairs to think about anything else.

"I just came to talk to Xiao Fan. Just to talk." Zhuge Dasheng forced himself to comfort himself.

But even after sitting down, I still felt uncomfortable.

He kept glancing at the tatami bed out of the corner of his eye, lost in thought.

Gu Yifan took a new disposable cup and went to the water dispenser to fill it with water.

He remembered there was a small jar of honey grapefruit jam in the drawer.

I'll add it for Madam later too.

Just then, the system notified me.

After your sincere expression of your feelings, Empress Qin has regained her trust in you and is willing to continue staying in Binhai City.

After all, chaos has already broken out in the imperial court. For an empress to return to the capital now, without her own power base, would be tantamount to a lamb entering a tiger's den!

[The Empress's affection level with you has exceeded the maximum. The mission is complete, and the maximum affection level has increased to 80. You can now invite the Empress to join your party!]

[Completion Reward: One Tael of Merit Gold]

So-called merit is the recognition of all things in the world by the Heavenly Dao. Only by reaching the realm of immortals can one transcend the Three Realms and be outside the Five Elements!

Although the Empress ascended the throne at a young age and was supported by various forces as a puppet, she also inherited the fortune of the ancient Eastern Wilderness Kingdom. It was only because of the protection of the national fortune that she was not directly imprisoned or brainwashed.

[You changed a part of the Empress's fate, gained the approval of the heavens, and received a ray of golden light of merit.]

[It can help cultivators resist inner demons, reduce bottlenecks, enhance magical artifacts, improve cultivation insights, and ward off natural disasters and man-made calamities. It is exceptionally valuable!]

Merit and virtue, like golden light, can be measured in weight?

Gu Yifan paused for a moment, then continued adding honey grapefruit jam to the cup. Then he thought, who says you can't put it on the scale?

That sounds pretty high-end.

Gu Yifan wasn't surprised that such things often appeared in fantasy worlds.

However, he did change the course of Qin Yumo's fate. What did he do?

At most, it refreshed her worldview.

Gu Yifan suppressed his curiosity and decided to talk to Madam Zhuge first to see what was wrong with her lately.

Gu Yifan's guiding principle is to care equally for the physical and mental well-being of every teammate.
lounge.

When Gu Yifan walked in, Zhuge Dasheng was looking out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

His fair face looked even more tired than when Gu Yifan had seen his wife before.

You could see a hint of weariness in him, and there was a touch of sorrow in his eyes.

What's going on here?
Gu Yifan thought for a moment, perhaps he had been too busy with work lately?

"Sister Dasheng, have some honey water."

Upon hearing Gu Yifan's voice, Zhuge Dasheng, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it and turned to look at Gu Yifan.

Her pale and tired face touched people's hearts.

Is she still the same capable and serious legal queen?

Seeing Gu Yifan's concerned gaze, Zhuge Dasheng felt a warmth in his heart.

For some reason, she felt that Gu Yifan seemed to be surrounded by a faint glow, especially his eyes, which were even more bright and piercing.

He has an extraordinary air about him and is full of energy.

Yes, he is in the prime of his career and is young and promising.

She has already missed her prime years; she's older now, and her energy isn't what it used to be.

It seems that the gap between the two is widening, and they are drifting further and further apart.

For no apparent reason, Zhuge Dasheng felt a lump in his throat and an urge to cry, wanting to express the grievances he had been feeling lately.

However, Zhuge Liang forcibly suppressed this emotional stirring.

With her eyelashes drooping and a strand of hair falling to her cheek, she looked beautifully haggard as she reached out her delicate hand to take the cup that Gu Yifan offered.

"Thank you~"

Gu Yifan looked at Zhuge Dasheng's empty, white wrist, lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Sister Sheng? You can tell me what's bothering you."

As he spoke, Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Zhuge Dasheng and asked softly.

Zhuge Dasheng felt the sofa sink and felt Gu Yifan get close, her pretty face blushing more.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

Could it be that she's going to tell Xiao Fan that she has some mental and physical problems? That's a bit difficult to say.

"Is it because you're too tired from work? Or is it because of the intensity?" Gu Yifan asked again when Zhuge Dasheng remained silent.

"No. Maybe I've just been a little tired lately," Zhuge Dasheng replied softly.

"So I wanted to come see you. If you're busy, just go about your business. You don't have to come with me."

What Zhuge Dasheng said was true; she would rather sit here and watch Gu Yifan from afar.

"That's easy. I'll come to the company every day during winter break. Sister Dasheng, you can bring Dali to play too. Maybe she'll like anime."

Gu Yifan chuckled and said, "Besides, how can I concentrate on my work with you sitting here, Sister Dasheng?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Dasheng trembled slightly, quickly raised his head to glance at Gu Yifan, and seeing his smiling expression, felt shy, nodded and lowered his eyes in agreement.

"Okay, as long as you don't find it bothersome."

“How could that be?” Gu Yifan interrupted Zhuge Dasheng. “Don’t be so polite. I’ve never been polite to you, Dasheng, so why are you being so polite with me as we go upstairs?”

As he spoke, Gu Yifan took the initiative to raise his hand and place it on Zhuge Dasheng's shoulder, massaging it for her, and continued to speak humorously.

“Sister Dasheng, you are a major shareholder of the company. I’m trying to please you. If you get angry and kick me out, all the people in the company will be homeless.”

"No, that won't happen." Zhuge Dasheng shook his head, his expression becoming calmer.

She thought to herself that perhaps avoiding Xiao Fan from the very beginning was a mistake.

Sitting next to Gu Yifan, feeling the long-lost peace in his heart, Zhuge Dasheng felt even more annoyed by his recent struggles.

What on earth is she agonizing over?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Dasheng smiled gently, focusing her tender gaze on Gu Yifan's face, and said without blinking.

"I've probably been too busy lately, and I'm always feeling conflicted and internally strained. But with your comfort, I feel much better."

"You're just too competitive. You always want to arrange everything perfectly and do your best, but there's no such thing as perfection in the world."

Gu Yifan put his arm around his wife's thin shoulder, re-entered the role of 'him' from his dream, and lectured Zhuge Dasheng.

But when Zhuge Dasheng heard these words, she lowered her eyes and looked like a submissive wife, listening obediently to his reasoning without saying a word.

"Yeah, I know, so I'm planning to take some time off."

“That’s right. Take Dali out to play more often. She’ll be happy, and you’ll be at ease. All that money you earn is meant to be spent.” Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

"But you do have time for us."

Without thinking, Zhuge Dasheng blurted out, his tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and resentment.

But then she realized what was happening.

This is not that 'parallel world', and she is not Gu Yifan's wife or a housewife.

Zhuge Dasheng's pretty face flushed, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.

Gu Yifan nodded, "That's true. Then bring Dali to the company more often, so I can keep you company."

"..." Zhuge Dasheng's eyes were somewhat dazed.

After a moment, he lowered his head and whispered a sentence.

"Okay, then I'll come and visit often in the future."

At this moment, reason was overwhelmed by emotion.

Zhuge Dasheng was deeply moved.

A bold idea flashed through her mind: since she was already prepared, why not just give herself to Yifan?

She missed out on Yifan; they were not destined to be husband and wife.

However, as long as he doesn't mind, Zhuge Liang is willing to be a lover without a formal title.
That way, she will never have these wild thoughts again.

[Having figured out some things, Lady Wu's favorability towards you increases by 15.]

[Lady Wuhou's affections have officially evolved into love, and she has become one of your Daoist partners. She wishes to join hands with you on the path to the Great Dao!]

[Lady Wuhou's current favorability: 105]

The current rebate is 12 times.

[You have gained some cultivation experience from Lady Wuhou, and your experience in law, business, and interpersonal relationships has doubled!]

[Lady Wuhou's career path has been unlocked; you can go and view it.]

[Unexpected Mission: You unexpectedly discover that after Lady Wuhou entered the sect and received cultivation guidance from the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy, she was actually possessed by demonic energy.]

Lady Wuhou's charm has increased, but she has also been affected by the fox demon's power, leading to mental fatigue and a deep immersion in an illusion. Please help her dispel the demonic energy within her.

[Upon success, you will receive: One bottle of Monster Breakthrough Pill! (Used for monster breakthroughs)]

The number of fairies whose favorability exceeds 100 is: 4.

Gu Yifan: "???"

After reading the system notification, he immediately realized what was happening.

Could it be that Zhuge Dasheng's dazed and exhausted state is somehow related to Su Weiwei?
Then, considering that both Lin Wanyu and Xinling dreamed of the wild world.

It seems that the disciple's guidance in cultivation is not ineffective, but rather it takes time for the effects to become apparent.

No wonder, the lady seemed a bit foxy today.

Gu Yifan suddenly realized at the same time.

Having made up his mind, Zhuge Dasheng slowly moved closer to Gu Yifan.

The lady said shyly, "You, go and close the door to the lounge."

Seeing Gu Yifan nod and get up to close the lounge door, Zhuge Dasheng's heart raced. "It happened so suddenly, there were no safety measures in place."

"Never mind, taking some medicine won't hurt."

"I wonder if Yifan will be like he is in the dream. If he is, then she probably won't be able to go to the company this afternoon."

"Although the lounge is a bit simple, it can be considered a wedding room."

Just as Zhuge Dasheng was lost in thought, Gu Yifan returned. Seeing Zhuge Dasheng with his head down and not saying a word, he smiled and pointed to the tatami mat next to him.

"Don't sit here, go sit on the tatami mat."

“Hmm.” Zhuge Dasheng’s pretty face flushed red, but she did not refuse and nodded.

It was just from her frequent stroking of her hair and adjusting the hem of her clothes that one could tell.

It's clear that he's nervous.

However, as she sat down on the tatami, she heard Gu Yifan remind her again.

"Take off your coat, don't sit, lie down on it."

Zhuge Dasheng was taken aback, somewhat bewildered, and a little aggrieved.

Is it really that direct?
We should at least show some affection first.

But by this point, she had lost the initiative; it was she herself who had made Gu Yifan close the door.
I might as well just go along with him.

Seeing Zhuge Dasheng's pretty face turn red, she shyly took off her coat and flat shoes, then turned around and knelt on the tatami.

Gu Yifan also admired Zhuge Dasheng's back view.

A slender yet well-proportioned figure, rounded curves, and beautiful legs held together are on display, along with beautiful feet clad in white socks.

Yes, Madam's figure is still so good.

But why was she blushing just now?
Gu Yifan found it somewhat strange.

To expel the demonic energy, spiritual power was naturally required. Gu Yifan thought he would also give his wife a massage to help relieve her fatigue from the past few days.

However, it seems that Zhuge Liang misunderstood his meaning.

"And then what?"

Zhuge Dasheng waited for a long time, but Gu Yifan didn't speak. He suppressed his shyness and asked softly.

But she felt Gu Yifan's slightly hot palm supporting her waist.

"!!!" The heat penetrated through the thin clothes and reached his skin. Zhuge Dasheng bit his lip and trembled.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat.

My whole body felt numb.

As Zhuge Dasheng slowly closed her beautiful eyes and opened her heart.

"Snapped"

A crisp sound was heard.

Zhuge Dasheng opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise and embarrassment.

"Lie down, not kneel," Gu Yifan said in a teasing tone.

"Yifan~!"

Zhuge Dasheng scolded her, her face turning almost red. She, the queen of the legal profession in Shanghai, had actually been spanked.

But she didn't find it annoying. Although she complained, she still honestly followed Gu Yifan's instructions.

"Be gentle."

Zhuge Dasheng's tone was unusually different; it was no longer his usual gentle and calm manner, but rather trembled slightly, revealing a hint of shyness.

"It hasn't even started yet," Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

I just found it funny; I never knew Lady Zhuge could panic.

Although Gu Yifan had considered having Su Fox as his secretary when setting up the lounge, leaving tasks to her and guiding her in her work when there was nothing else to do.

But it's just a thought.

Besides, he still has to pick up Miss Lin for lunch soon.

Madam, what kind of person do you take me for?

Gu Yifan stopped teasing Zhuge Dasheng and reached out to start massaging Zhuge Dasheng's shoulders seriously.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang buried his beautiful face in the soft pillow, feeling uneasy.

Her beautiful eyes opened slightly!

The fear that had been in his eyes turned into surprise.

What is he doing?
She could feel the perfect pressure from Gu Yifan's fingers, his fingertips slightly warm, as he stroked her tense shoulder muscles.

Zhuge Dasheng unconsciously relaxed, but at the same time, doubts welled up in his heart.

Just as she was about to turn her head, she heard Gu Yifan say softly, "Don't move."

Zhuge Dasheng: "."

Gu Yifan raised his hand, interlaced his fingers and plunged them into Zhuge Dasheng's beautiful hair, gently pressing the acupoints on her head, experiencing a sensation that touched her very soul.

Zhuge Liang rolled his beautiful eyes, revealing more of the whites of his eyes.

"Well"

"How was it? Was the pressure just right?" Gu Yifan asked with a smile.

Zhuge Dasheng wasn't stupid; on the contrary, while enjoying the massage, she immediately realized...

So, the reason I made her lie face down on the bed was to give her a massage?

In an instant, Zhuge Dasheng remembered her embarrassing response just now and let out a soft moan.

Could it be that she misunderstood Yifan?

Did Yifan notice? Will he make fun of her? He definitely will.

Zhuge Dasheng wished he could bury his head in his pillow; he couldn't bear to face anyone.

Gu Yifan noticed that Zhuge Dasheng's earlobes were bright red, and his fair neck was also flushed red, and he secretly chuckled.

Are you shy?

He never expected that Zhuge Liang would be so bold.

From this perspective, it seems like we're at a disadvantage.

But Gu Yifan thought again, there's no need to rush, Zhuge Dasheng Law Firm is upstairs, she can't possibly run away.

First, we need to dispel the demonic energy; who knows if it might make Zhuge Liang sick?

She doesn't look well today.

Thus, Gu Yifan remained silent, focusing intently on helping Zhuge Dasheng, who had yet to experience his miraculous massage techniques, relax his tired body and mind.

Zhuge Dasheng vaguely heard Gu Yifan's laughter, his cheeks burning even hotter. He felt shy and somewhat desperate, and buried his face in the pillow.

I want to suffocate myself until I pass out.

It would be better if something happened.

But Zhuge Dasheng was also worried. Why was Gu Yifan not accepting her even though she had made it so obvious?

Is it possible?
Before Zhuge Dasheng could speculate wildly, he could figure out why Gu Yifan would ignore the meat that was practically offered to him.

The spiritual energy slowly flowed from Gu Yifan's fingertips into Zhuge Dasheng's body.

"Well!!!"

As people age, their metabolism slows down, and toxins and impurities gradually accumulate.

Blocked blood vessels can negatively impact health.

Spiritual energy can purify the body, remove impurities, and relieve fatigue.

At the same time, the feelings of Zhuge Liang during his first experience.

It was even stronger than the first time Lin Wanyu and Nuolan had experienced it.

You could tell from her unconsciously clenched fist.

Wave after wave of spiritual energy washed away impurities, quickly clearing Zhuge Dasheng's mind of all distractions.

As I gradually became immersed in it, a slight drowsiness began to emerge.

Before long, Zhuge Liang's consciousness became hazy, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Yifan looked on with a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the lounge was well soundproofed; otherwise, the soft sounds coming from the room might have caused misunderstandings.

About half an hour has passed.

Gu Yifan stopped what he was doing.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, who had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The weariness on her pretty face had completely disappeared, leaving only a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

"That should be about right now."

[You helped Lady Wu expel the demonic energy that had entered her body, and have received a bottle of Demonic Beast Breakthrough Pill. The reward has been issued.]

Seeing that Zhuge Dasheng was asleep, Gu Yifan did not wake her up.

I found a thin blanket for her and covered her with it, then drew the curtains in the lounge, making the room instantly dark.

Only then did he quietly leave the lounge.

Let her get a good night's sleep.

If Gu Yifan's guess is correct, Zhuge Dasheng's behavior is also related to him.

This can be considered compensation for Zhuge Liang.

By the way, when I get back this afternoon, I'll ask Madam if she had any strange or unusual dreams.

Gu Yifan grabbed his bag, left the office, and went to pick up Miss Lin for dinner.

school.

Inside the department head's office.

"Yifei, I heard that there's a student named Gu Yifan in the Electrical Engineering class who's quite successful in starting his own business."

"You two have a good relationship?"

"That's perfect. Could you ask him if he'd be interested in investing in any of our school's students?"

Leave the director's office.

Hu Yifei hesitated, looking at the business plan in her hand that the department head, who had been kind to her, had given her, and muttered to herself.

"So that's why you asked me to come here."

"Fine, I'll go back and ask Gu Yifan if he's interested."
