Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

After Gu Lianyu successfully proposed, everyone was happy for him.

Xia Qing launched into a frenzied display of wealth, extending her slender ring finger, where the diamond ring shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

"It's so bright, it's almost blinding me..." Wen Xi clicked his tongue.

"All I saw was a huge diamond, a huge diamond... lots of money... all money..." Zhao Jingzhi clicked her tongue.

"Yours is beautiful too, such a unique design, and your husband treats you so well..." Xia Qing started a lively discussion with Zhao Jingzhi, the two holding hands, admiring each other's diamond rings like best friends.

"Don't even mention it. He cried even harder than I did when he proposed... I'll show you the video... He's nowhere near as romantic as Director Gu... You can't hide it from him..."

"Your boss is a straight man too... Actually, I knew he was going to propose today, but I just kept quiet... I saw a ring box in his pocket, and I even knew the brand..."

The diamond rings on their ring fingers sparkled dazzlingly. Wen Xi nestled softly on the sofa, looking at the starlight on their faces. It would be self-deception not to feel envious. Looking at his own empty ring finger, an indescribable sense of loss welled up in his heart.

In fact, she was never proposed to. If we have to talk about a proposal, we have to go back to the wedding day, when she took the initiative to propose to He Tingchu.

What is this?

How can this be compared?

Wen Xi sighed with envy.

She has things that others have.

"Wen Xi, aren't you married? What, you don't even have a wedding ring? You two didn't marry for the sake of family interests, did you...? That's no fun. Although your husband is very outstanding, he can't even afford to buy you a diamond ring. He's not much of a man. If it were me, I would definitely buy you a ten-carat diamond ring." Xia Hao spoke up at an inopportune time.

Xiao Jingping glanced at him, some words stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable. The man's eyes were deep and dark, but he couldn't stand Xia Hao no matter what he did. He really wanted to slap this talkative parrot to death.

At that moment, Gu Lianyu came down from the second floor after handling some matters. His expression was normal; he patted Wen Xi on the shoulder and gave the instructions as usual.

"Wen Xi, go get the package for the teacher."

"Oh." Wen Xi quickly got up and headed for the door. To be honest, she didn't want to stay here staring at Xia Hao. The atmosphere was quite suffocating.

It's very ungentlemanly to make a pregnant woman pick up a package.

Xia Qing's gaze was somewhat intimidating, but Gu Lianyu ignored her completely.

"I'll help you." Xiao Jingping followed.

"Hey..." Before Gu Lianyu could say anything, Xiao Jingping had already strode out after him.

She pushed open the front gate and looked up.

The first thing you see is a man dressed in black, with a suitcase behind him. He lazily spreads his arms, his features are striking, his gaze deep, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a rather slanted smile playing on his lips. He exudes a nonchalant yet dashing air.

Wen Xi stared into those deep, dark eyes, which captured a tall, slender figure. He was so surprised that he couldn't utter a word.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her eyelashes were wet, and she stood frozen in place, forgetting to breathe. She hesitated for a moment, then, like the wind, rushed forward without thinking.

He Tingchu's heart skipped a beat, his nerves pounding in his throat. Why was his wife rushing towards him? The man strode forward two steps, and Wen Xi leaped into the air. He Tingchu quickly caught her small, swaying body, his strong arms firmly protecting her waist and hips.

She looked down, he looked up, and at that moment, their eyes met, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

Their eyes were filled with dazzling starlight, overflowing with love. He pulled her tightly into his arms, an intense intimacy that brooked no refusal, his gaze arrogant and unabashed. She leaned down, her cherry lips finding his, and in an instant, their lips met, inseparable.

At that moment, Xiao Jingping, who was standing by the door frame, was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Once upon a time, the burning little sun in his heart recklessly plunged into someone else's chest.

-

Inside, several onlookers, chins in hand, stared intently through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, their gazes burning with intense interest.

"Wow, real couples are so much better to ship," Zhao Jingzhi exclaimed.

"Wow, their eyes are practically glued to each other! Absence makes the heart grow fonder," Xia Qing chimed in.

"What are you looking at?" Xia Hao belatedly came closer, and when he saw clearly, his face turned a very ugly green.

Is Xia Hao the only one injured in this world?

-

When Wen Xi was released, her face flushed red, and she gasped for breath. She had almost suffocated from the kiss. Her slender arms were wrapped around his neck, and she couldn't bear to let go.

"Mrs. He, do you miss me that much?" The man's deep voice slowly escaped from the depths of his throat.

"What do you mean?" Wen Xi's face turned completely red, and she buried her crimson cheeks in his shoulder, completely oblivious to everyone else. Only after the kiss did she realize that this wasn't home, but Gu Lianyu's home.

Did she look very hungry just now, as if she wanted to devour him? How should everyone laugh at her?

At that moment, Gu Lianyu, a bystander behind him, coughed heavily.

"He Tingchu, that's enough! I've had enough of this PDA! Hey, I'm the star of the show today! I'm proposing, okay? Don't steal my spotlight on my turf! Don't you have any humanity? Don't you know I'm proposing today? I told you months ago..."

He Tingchu twitched the corner of his lips, and Wen Xi felt like his face was about to fall off.

She really wanted to find a piece of cotton and smash her head against it to die. Her ridiculously hot face was completely buried in the man's burning chest, and she dared not lift her face again.

I almost forgot, this is Gu Lianyu's house, not Lanting Pavilion.

"Go back and give Mrs. He a kiss." He Tingchu murmured in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her lips, carrying the unique scent of his shaving lotion.

Really shameless.

He Tingchu patted her bottom, finally reluctantly putting her down, and squeezed her small hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, domineeringly asserting his ownership in front of Xiao Jingping.

"Where's my room tour gift?" Gu Lianyu spread his hands.

"What, your students didn't give you a gift?" He Tingchu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her sideways.

"She gave me the 'Yuntai Mountain Records,' and you're saying I accepted it? Wouldn't that be the biggest educational scandal in Peking University's history?"

"Then I'll definitely report you myself," the man said nonchalantly.

Wen Xi wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Gu Lianyu sighed, and He Tingchu took out a bank card and handed it to him.

"You're so sensible." Gu Lianyu said with a faint smile.

What's going on? Why is He Tingchu so straightforward and blunt, giving her teacher a bank card in front of everyone?

Wen Xi's gaze was quite meaningful, and Gu Lianyu quickly explained.

"Wen Xi, don't look at me like that."

He Tingchu said, "That's his patent fee. Your boss designed a new type of treatment device for Hanyu... He's taking his share of the profits, which is legal and compliant."

"You're not as wealthy as your husband; your boss is short of money."

"And who is this?" He Tingchu's gaze lingered meaningfully on Xiao Jingping's face beside him, his unfathomable black eyes flashing with a chilling light.

This was Xiao Jingping's first time meeting He Tingchu. Although he had seen photos of him online, he was still intimidated by the aura of authority emanating from the man when he saw him in person.

"This is my junior colleague. Let me introduce you. He is Xiao Jingping, the director of the Department of Thoracic Medicine."

"Dr. Xiao, this is my wife. Please take good care of her." He Tingchu extended his hand, his imposing height exuding an invisible pressure, while his other hand tightly embraced Wen Xi's waist.

Wen Xi gently nudged his palm, signaling him to be more sensible.

"Professor He, I've heard so much about you." Xiao Jingping extended his hand, and the two shook hands before quickly letting go.

When Xia Hao learned about He Tingchu's identity from Xia Qing, he was completely unsettled.

It turned out that the big boss was right beside him. For the sake of the Xia family's business, Xia Hao couldn't care less about his status and squeezed his way in.

"Mr. He, it's an honor to meet you. I'm Xia Hao from the Xia Group. I've been wanting to make an appointment with you for a while now."

"Xia Hao?" The name sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

The man's long, dangerous eyes slowly narrowed, and he fixed his gaze on something.

"Baby, this isn't some rotten romance of yours, is it...? My baby is really amazing..." the man said nonchalantly.

Wen Xi subconsciously tugged at his palm. This man really dares to say anything.

For a moment, Gu Lianyu felt that He Gou was a real dog, his mouth was just as sharp.
