Yan refused Wei Zhe's lunch invitation and took Xiaoyu to buy vegetables before heading home.

  When the two of them, one big and one small, arrived home, the house was very quiet. Thinking that Shang Tuo hadn't returned yet, Gu Xiyan pulled Xiao Yan in front of her, "Yan'er, today's outing is our secret, don't tell Father about it, okay?"

  "Why, Yanyu had a great time playing, and Yanyu wants to share her happiness with Father." The little girl took off her small boots by herself and put on the slippers at home.

  "Yan'er, did you like that uncle today?" Gu Xiyan asked cautiously as she led the little guy to the living room.

  "I like it." The little girl replied without hesitation.

  "Does Yan'er like Father more? If Father knew that Yan'er liked that uncle so quickly, Father would be jealous." Gu Xiyan knew her explanation was a bit far-fetched, but she privately didn't want to let Shang Qi know about today's events. She knew Shang Qi disliked her meeting with Wei Zhe, and if she spoke out, it might cause the two of them to become unhappy, so it was better to keep this matter hidden in her heart.

  "Mommy, Daddy." The little girl suddenly lowered her voice.

  Noticing something was off, Gu Xiyan turned her head to look back, and saw that Shang Yue only wore a single layer of clothing, his eyes fixed on her with a hint of sarcasm in his gaze.

  "Qi..." Gu Xiyan stuttered, suddenly losing her composure. All her rationality and thinking ability were shattered in an instant, she didn't dare look at him again.

  How much of what was just said did he hear?

  Gu Xiyan didn't dare to think about it. She knew that his nature was always cold and indifferent, and he also knew that he didn't love her. However, loving or not loving was one thing, but whether or not he could tolerate his own wife having connections with other men was another matter altogether, even though they had only gone out together once, and there was still Yan'er by their side.

  "Yan'er, what are you whispering to Mommy about?" Shang Yi Qi seemed to ignore Gu Xiyan's embarrassment and sat down on the sofa, picking up his daughter. He even affectionately pinched her little face, which was red and chubby.

  "Father, are you feeling better? Yan'er was so worried yesterday!" The little girl's smile was sweet and radiant.

  "Dad is fine, thank you Yanyan, well-behaved." Shang Yi said so, but his tone had cooled down. Apparently he thought of the person who took care of him for half the night without leaving last night, and today was with another man in a pair. For some reason, when he saw the two of them standing together, he felt inexplicably dazzled, even a desire to destroy them in his heart. And now, she was actually teaching their child to lie?

  Thinking of this, he was even more furious. If it weren't for his usual superhuman endurance, he would have probably lost his temper in front of the child.

  Gu Xiyan saw that the father and daughter were too busy to take care of themselves, and Shang Yi Qi didn't say much either, thinking he was just being overly worried. Carrying several bags of food, he headed towards the kitchen, Gu Xiyan slightly curved her mouth.

  When Gu Xiyan received the invitation to meet with Wei Zhe, she refused without hesitation. If he hadn't come to her doorstep himself, Gu Xiyan would never have agreed to go out with him. It seemed that his investigation had been thorough, even uncovering the fact that Shang Muqi was not at home. Since it wouldn't be good to remain awkward forever, Gu Xiyan finally agreed to go out with him on the condition that Xiao Yu would accompany her.

  After processing the ingredients, Gu Xiyan washed her hands and decided to go upstairs to change into a new set of clothes.

  Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Xiyan thought of Shang Yiqi who was only wearing a thin top, and his slender eyebrows slightly furrowed. She took a coat from the closet for Shang Yiqi, and then she was about to go out.

  The person outside the door opened it before her, Gu Xiyan still had a black coat hanging on her arm, her small mouth slightly open, she stared blankly at the man in front of her who was visibly angry.

  Wasn't everything fine just now?

  At this moment, Gu Xiyuan had already entered the bedroom and slammed the door shut with great force.

  "Anything you want to say?" Shang Xi pulled Gu Xiyuan's wrist and pressed her against the brown door.

  Gu Xiyan couldn't break free from his grasp, her eyes fixed on the man as she subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

  Shang Yi's eyes darkened a few shades, his right fist brushed past Gu Xiyan's ear and hit the door behind her with a 'bang'. He was furious, his mouth curled up in a deep, mocking arc. "What? Today's events, aren't you going to explain them to me?"

  He actually heard it!

  Gu Xiyan wanted to make excuses, but in the end, she only managed to say "We just went out and had some fun, nothing big happened".

  The words reached Shang Yi's ears, but turned into what she wanted to have nothing to do with, yet hadn't happened. The scorching anger that swept everything from his thin lips to her cherry lips made her shake her head in refusal, but unknowingly further infuriated the person in front of her.

  Her lips were sucked out of the enchanting blood flower. She was in pain, hammering him, both hands were restrained, trampling him, but her purpose had not been achieved, and her two jade legs that were moving wildly were also restrained.

  He moved his lips to her snowy neck, without the softness and gentleness of before. At this moment, every kiss was filled with a torrent of urgency and anger. The coat she had been holding in her hand had fallen to the ground, and as she turned away, she stifled a sob, "Qǐ, this isn't like you, you shouldn't be like this, can't you stop?"

  Shang Yi Qi suddenly roared in her ear, "Then what should I be like? Should I watch my own wife and another man being intimate with each other and remain unmoved? Gu Xi Yan, do you take me as your husband?"

  Never had Shang Qi shown such a furious expression, Gu Xiyan was frightened. Even though he had told her to remember her identity before, he had never been so angry.

  "I didn't..." Gu Xiyan's explanation was met with complete indifference by the man, who was frantically tearing at her clothes. Her sweater was pulled off over her head, and a cold large hand reached under her blouse, easily undoing the simple fastening of her bra. The man then impatiently grasped one of her full breasts through the obstructing clothing.

  "Cold." The heating in the house hadn't warmed up the man's hands, and Gu Xiyan was chilled to the bone, with fine goosebumps appearing on her snow-white skin. The man's hand suddenly stopped at her chest.

  "How dare you say to your heart that you and that man have no relationship anymore?" Shang Xi pressed harder on Gu Xiyuan's chest, his grip as if he wanted to dig out her heart.

  "We're just ordinary friends at most." Chang Qi's request seemed like a piece of cake to Gu Xiyan, but now she just wanted to quickly escape the rough palm on her chest, because it was really cold.

  How could his hand be so cold?

  Having obtained Gu Xizhen's guarantee, Shang Yu's sarcastic smile deepened as he grasped her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. He seemed to be asking for her opinion in a good-natured way, "But I don't believe what you say, what should we do?"

  Believe it? Believe it? Is he blind, is it fake that they drank a cup of milk tea together? Is it fake that their hands were still tightly held together when the roller coaster stopped? Is it fake that she smiled at that man with such a gentle and tender smile? If all these facts he saw with his own eyes are fake, then what is real?

  "Qǐ, why are you being unreasonable? What's wrong with you today? Where's your calm and rational thinking? I've already ended things with Wei Zhe, didn't you know that?" Gu Xiyuan retorted, shrinking back in resistance. Her delicate nose turned red, unsure if it was because of his cold hands or his complete distrust.

  "Well, then prove it to me, prove that there's no relationship between you two." After coldly commanding in Gu Xiuyan's ear, Shang Xikai suddenly withdrew. With his arms crossed over his chest, he waited to see how she would struggle desperately.

  I am your present and future, why is he standing by your side?

  His passion for her had long since surpassed the boundaries of what was appropriate for a nominal wife.
