s eyes, were fixed on Wen Man.Wen Man struggled desperately, but a wad of cloth stuffed in her mouth prevented her from uttering a single word.She knows Gu Changqing, for him power outweighs the loss...At night, Lin Xi went to bed early.

The little one kept thinking about Li Siqi. While dozing off with his little pillow, he mumbled "Auntie," which made An Ran feel a pang of heartache.

It seems everyone is used to Li Siqi living here.

She tucked the blanket up around her son.

The door creaked open gently. Niuniu, in her pajamas, tiptoed inside. She whispered, "Auntie, is my little brother asleep yet"

She was very close to Anran, leaning against his leg affectionately.

Anran gently stroked her smooth hair, softly and warmly: "You'll be asleep soon."

Niu Niu didn't speak again, afraid of waking Lin Xi.

After a long while, Lin Xi fell asleep. Her little face was flushed red.

Anran brought Niuniu to the living room. Niuniu pulled out her homework from behind and said that she didn't understand a problem, so she begged Anran to teach her.

But Anran's science knowledge wasn't great. She looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't even answer the elementary school level questions.

An Ran: ...

Niu Niu's eyes were innocent: "Auntie, are you not going to..."

Of course, Anran didn't want to admit it.

At this moment, Huo Yunsi walked in and saw Anran poring over her math book. He knew her abilities like the back of his hand, so he smiled faintly and sat down on the opposite sofa, picked up her workbook and glanced at it, then used the simplest method to teach Nius.

Niu Niu is so happy: "Thank you, uncle!"

Huo Yunsi also liked her quite a bit, patted her shoulder: "It's not too early to go to sleep! I'll take you and Lin Xi back to the big house to play tomorrow."

Niuniu was so excited that her little nose turned red, and she ran away.

Huo Yunsi watched her go to the bedroom and then went to close the door, walking back slowly... Seeing Anran looking at that question, he couldn't help but tap her head: "With this IQ, how did you get into university in the first place"

"I'm good at the humanities," Anran said unconvinced.

Huò Yùnsī still smiled and looked inside: "Did Lín Xī go to sleep"

An Ran hummed softly in agreement.

She always thought he would bring it up, because since the last time they had done *it*, nothing had happened. Even though they lived together and had plenty of opportunities, they just hadn't.

Of course, Huo Yuns thought about it several times, but nothing came of it.

Little did An Ran know, Huo Yunsi didn't seem to think much of it. He nodded politely and then stood up to leave. An Ran sat alone for a while, truly feeling that he might have done it on purpose.

Treat her to some sweets on the car ride.

...starve her again...

However, Anran didn't have much time to think about their personal matters. She was currently struggling with how to tell Mr. Gu about Li Siqi's situation, after all, Mr. Gu was already married, and some things were inappropriate once they passed.

10 pm.

Anran started writing an email, it was a work report for the past period of time, and the achievements were very good.

At the end, she added a line.

Mrs. Li came and took Siqi away, and she even hit her! Mr. Gu, I may not be able to take care of her anymore in the future!

This line of text, An Ran carefully considered for a long time.

She thought that if Mr. Gu still had old feelings, he would definitely look into it.

……

The same late night, City H.

Gu Yunfan went home from the company. Passing by the luxurious villa, he asked the servant, "Why are the lights not on upstairs Where is Madam Is she not at home"

The maid looked a little panicked: "Madam went out for coffee!"

Gu Yunfan raised his hand to check the time, smiling calmly and composedly: "At this hour, you're still drinking coffee!"

He did not ask further, this servant was brought by the mistress from her family.

Nothing but lies will come out of their mouth!

Gu Yunfan didn't really mind if his wife was home or not. In fact, he felt more at ease when she wasn't there. He didn't have to pretend to be a real husband by taking off his clothes and all.

They have never succeeded.

He thought it was his own problem, so he asked a woman to check him out. Of course, nothing actually happened.

His physiology is perfectly fine.

He just, didn't want to have this kind of thing happen with Mrs. Gu.

As he slowly ascended the stairs, Gu Yunfan raised his hand to shield his forehead, pondering deeply about the reason. His wife had a beautiful face and a figure that was just right, but he felt a strong resistance towards her.

As he pushed open the bedroom door, it all became clear to him.

Because of Siqi, because of Siqi's tears!

Thinking of her, Gu Yunfan felt a bit troubled. He pulled off his tie and tossed it carelessly to the foot of the bed, then flopped onto the luxurious king-size bed without even wanting to take a bath.

At this moment, he missed his days in city B tremendously.

In comparison, life now is so dull and boring, with endless work and wives who even put on makeup in their sleep... He felt like he was living behind a mask, with no spark of life.

Gu Yunfan took out a cigarette and puffed away.

Took half a cigarette, got an email in my inbox. Opened it casually, it was from Anran.

Weekends always seem to go by so fast...

Gu Yunfan was just about to consider giving Anran a raise when his gaze froze. He saw Anran's note outside the text!

Li Siqi's family had an accident.

After staring for a while, Gu Yunfan called An Ran. There was no need for beating around the bush between them. He got straight to the point and asked her, "What's wrong with the Li family Her mother... did she get physical"

Anran has been waiting for his phone call.

She held her phone and nodded: "Yes! It's started! His face is pretty swollen!"

She continued, "Her father is seriously ill and the family business needs someone to take care of it. I heard from Huo Yunsi that the business isn't doing well. Mr. Gu, Siqi might have to shoulder a lot."

Gu Yunfan's heart clenched upon hearing this.

After hearing that, he whispered, "I understand!"

Anran couldn't figure out what he meant, but Gu Yunfan had already hung up the phone... The sound of busy tones came from her mobile phone.

Gu Yunfan hung up the phone, he stared blankly at the half-smoked cigarette.

My mind is filled with images of Li Siqi being beaten.

She's so delicate, she couldn't possibly handle any pain... just thinking about it makes him unbearable!

Gu Yunfan took two minutes to decide to go to City B.

Even though the Gu Group headquarters is still unstable and needs him to be there, at this moment he felt he had to go to City B.

Of course there were no flights at night, so he decided to drive over. It would only take about 8 hours, and he'd arrive just in time for early morning.

When he went downstairs, Mrs. Gu happened to be back.

She was dressed elegantly, with soft and delicate makeup, very beautiful.

She smelled faintly of perfume, and she was in a good mood. Seeing Gu Yunfan put on his coat and go out, she couldn't help but speak up: "Yunfan, you're going out so late"

Gu Yunfan paused his gaze for a moment.

He keenly noticed a faint reddish mark on his wife's neck, as if it had just been kissed.

To look at her, she seemed to be bathed in the warmth of spring.

Gu Yunfan understood.

Apart from a slight unease, he didn't have too many thoughts. He even felt a little relieved. He thought that if she could find some fun outside, it would be a good thing after all, because he couldn't give her that.

He said nonchalantly, "I'm going out for a while, it might take two or three days!"

Mrs. Gu's expression was noticeably more excited.

Gu Yunfan's lips curled into a smile, and then he quickened his pace, going downstairs and out of the villa. Man felt both angry and amused: "Mind your own business! Don't just worry about me! I'm really fine!"She lived and studied as usual.She had a dream in her heart, to study abroad in England.A Chinese...
