'Mum, your saliva,' Zhen Wu said.

Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Wu exchanged secret looks at each other.

Yue Gu Zai: Done?

Zhen Wu: Of course. Your son is a genius.

'What are the three of you doing standing at the door?' Mr Zhen said. 'Hurry and come eat.'

At the dining table, Mr Zhen crossed his arms and he looked sternly at Yue Gu Zai.

'Gu Zai, even if you're not fighting for custody of Zhen Wu and you agreed not to change Zhen Wu's family name,' Mr Zhen said. 'Don't think I'll let you marry Zhen Zhen that easily.'

'Gu Zai, ignore this old man and eat comfortably,' Mrs Zhen said.

Zhen Wu ate dinner quickly so he could talk to Yue Gu Zai in private.

'Dad, I kept my promise,' Zhen Wu said. 'I helped you and grandpa call a truce. You have to keep your promise too.'

'Of course your dad will keep his promise to you,' Yue Gu Zai said.

Zhen Wu sighed, and he patted Yue Gu Zai's pitiful back.

'Dad, don't count your chickens before they hatch,' Zhen Wu said. 'Talk to mum first.'

Yue Gu Zai smiled at the why Zhen Wu acted mature like an adult in a child's body.

Yue Gu Zai drove Zhen Zhen and Zhen Wu home from Mr and Mrs Zhen's home. He thought Zhen Wu was overthinking things, because Zhen Zhen was in a good mood.

'Is our son starting a new school term?' Yue Gu Zai asked.

'Yes,' Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen sat in front of the vanity table. She was humming a happy tune while she blow dried her hair.

'Zhen Zhen, our son is a genius,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'He doesn't need to go to school.'

Yue Gu Zai was sitting on the bed and holding a book. But he was couldn't read a single word because he was worried about Zhen Zhen's reaction.

'Even if our son is a genius, he still needs to go to school,' Zhen Zhen said.

Yue Gu Zai's heart was beating fast after Zhen Zhen turned off the hair dryer, and looked sternly at him.

'Zhen Zhen, we can invite the best teachers to home school our son,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'I'm worried his potential would be wasted at school.'

'No!' Zhen Zhen said and crossed her arms.

'Zhen Zhen, give me a reason why,' Yue Gu Zai said.

'No reason at all,' Zhen Zhen said. 'Our son going to school is not up for negotiation. Gu Zai, if our son emotionally blackmailed you to talk me out of making him go to school then I'm sorry to disappoint you, he's going to school and that is final.'

'Zhen Zhen, even if you don't want to compromise about our son going to school,' Yue Gu Zai said. 'I want to know why.'

'Then you can see me as an unreasonable woman,' Zhen Zhen said. 'I'm sleeping in the guest room tonight.'

Zhen Zhen walked to the guest room before Yue Gu Zai could stop her.

Yue Gu Zai knew Zhen Zhen was easy going unless someone provoked her. He watched her leave their bedroom, and he felt like he lost too much from his deal with Zhen Wu.

Two days later, Yue Gu Zai regretted making the deal with Zhen Wu, because Zhen Zhen gave him the silent treatment for two days.

Zhen Wu pitied Yue Gu Zai, and he consoled Yue Gu Zai in the study room.

'Dad, I heard if someone is a member of Ni Sheng and go back on their word, they'll become shark bait,' Zhen Wu said.

Yue Gu Zai wanted to kill the traitor who told Zhen Wu about Ni Sheng's shark bait rule.

'Dad, cheer up,' Zhen Wu said. 'Mum gave me the silent treatment too when I asked her if I could stop going to school.'

'How long did your mum ignore you for?' Yue Gu Zai asked.

'One month,' Zhen Wu said.

Yue Gu Zai couldn't survive one month without sleeping with Zhen Zhen.

Cheng Yi overheard Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Wu's conversation. He suspected Zhen Wu hid something important from Yue Gu Zai. He waited for Zhen Wu to come outside.

'Young master, did it really take your mum only one month to talk to you again?' Cheng Yi asked.

'Of course not,' Zhen Wu said. 'I surrendered after one month. I begged mum to forgive me, and I promised her I wouldn't ask to stop going to school again.'

'Young master, why didn't you tell boss?' Cheng Yi asked.

'Dad didn't ask me,' Zhen Wu said.
