Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

When Su Xintian returned to her rented room that night, she still didn't see Xiao Lan.

She took out her phone and called Xiao Lan, who said she was shopping with her colleagues and wouldn't be back until later.

Helpless, Su Xintian cooked herself a bowl of egg noodles. After eating, she tidied up and sat on the sofa, determined to wait for Xiao Lan tonight and get to the bottom of things.

Xiao Lan didn't leisurely return home until midnight, and Su Xintian was already asleep on the sofa.

"Xintian, why don't you go back to your room to sleep?" Xiao Lan entered the room and saw her asleep on the sofa.

Su Xintian woke up groggily and saw that Xiao Lan had returned. She checked the time; it was almost midnight. "Xiao Lan, why are you so late?"

"I went out for barbecue with my colleagues," Xiao Lan lied.

Actually, she and Liang Tao went to eat barbecue tonight. After eating barbecue, they went to a hotel and had sex. But he didn't last long, so they booked a room by the hour. After they finished, they came back.

"Xiao Lan, come sit down, I have something to ask you." Su Xintian felt that she was lying.

"What's wrong? I'm so sleepy." She reluctantly sat down on the sofa.

"You haven't been coming home on time lately. Tell me honestly, are you dating someone?" Su Xintian asked bluntly.

"Oh dear, what are you saying? If I were in a relationship, I would definitely tell you." Xiao Lan felt that it wasn't the right time to go public yet. If she were to tell Gu Zhihua, then Mo Yeting would find out about her and Liang Tao.

If he claims he seduced a company executive and gets fired, he's finished.

"Really? You really haven't been secretly dating?" Su Xintian was a little skeptical.

"When have I ever lied to you? Besides, if I really had a boyfriend, would I not tell you and make you happy for me? Okay, I'm really sleepy, I'm going back to my room." After she finished speaking, she got up and went back to her room without waiting for her reply.

Su Xintian temporarily believed her and returned to her room.

The next day.

Su Xintian woke up naturally and arranged to meet Gu Zhihua and the others at noon, so they ate lunch outside.

She walked out of the room and saw that Xiao Lan hadn't gotten up yet. She walked to the door and knocked. "Xiao Lan, I've made plans to go shopping with Zhihua and the others. Do you want to come along?"

"I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer." Xiao Lan turned over and continued to sleep.

Considering that she was at work and finally had a day off, Su Xintian didn't disturb her and went to wash up and change her clothes herself.

Ink Garden.

Gu Zhihua woke up naturally, stretched, and found that her husband was long gone.

Working on weekends too? My husband is such a workaholic!

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to wash up. She wanted to go to the dressing room to find some clothes to change into, but then she heard her husband's voice coming from the study. So she turned around and went to the study.

He was on the phone when he saw Gu Zhihua. He waved to her, signaling her to come over.

She walked over, and as soon as she reached him, he pulled her onto his lap, his hand naturally wrapping around her waist.

Gu Zhihua rolled her eyes at him; he couldn't even stay still while making a phone call.

Mo Yeting's phone call lasted about ten minutes. Gu Zhihua tried to get up, but he wouldn't let her. He played with her hand while talking to the person on the other end about some work matters.

Helpless, Gu Zhihua could only wait for him to finish his call.

After he hung up the phone, she said, "Honey, I've made plans to go shopping with Yiqing and Xintian today."

Mo Yeting's eyes darkened. "What a wonderful weekend. Is your wife going to abandon her husband? As expected, once you get something, you don't cherish it anymore."

Gu Zhihua couldn't help but chuckle. "Honey, have you been secretly watching videos lately? Why are you talking so sweetly and with all those witty remarks?"

"My niece has been badmouthing me, saying I'm old-fashioned. She says if I don't keep up with the times, I'm afraid we'll have a generation gap." After all, his young wife is still in college, while he's been out in the workforce for several years. His grandmother's comment about him being an "old horse eating young grass" makes some sense, even though he's only twenty-six.

"She's your niece, so given the generational difference, it's natural for her to have a stereotype that you're a rigid elder. My husband is much more avant-garde," Gu Zhihua said sweetly.

Seeing her ingratiating expression, he relented, "What time will you be back?"

"I'll be back before dinner, okay? I'll spend the whole day with my husband tomorrow," she said sweetly.

"Okay," he agreed.

She was about to get up when he grabbed her again. "Are you just going to leave like this?"

Gu Zhihua understood that this man would never do a losing business. "I know, my husband wants to collect interest."

She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him.

He held her head, deepening the kiss, his voice low and deep, "Wife, how about we do it once first, then you can go out?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhihua knew this scoundrel was in heat. She quickly pushed him away, got up, and ran away. She turned back at the door, saying, "Honey, bye-bye! You can take care of it yourself!"

Mo Yeting smiled helplessly, glancing at his unruly little brother, "You haven't suffered at all lately, looks like you've been disobedient again!"

Gu Zhihua poked her head out. "Honey, who are you talking to?"

She asked the question knowing the answer, suppressing a laugh. How could her husband be so adorable? Men are boys until they die, and even a cold and aloof man like her husband was no exception.

"You're getting more and more naughty. You only stir up the fire, you don't help your husband put it out." He pretended to stand up and was about to grab her.

She ran off in a flash, laughing happily.

A smile played on his lips; her presence brought joy to their home.

Gu Zhihua asked the driver to take her to the entrance of the mall and then let the driver go home first.

She looked around but didn't see the two of them, so she slowly walked to the entrance of the mall to wait.

Mo Yiqing drove herself there. After parking her car, she saw Gu Zhihua and walked over to her.

Su Xintian was quite frugal, so she took the bus. There was some traffic on the way, and she arrived ten minutes late.

She rushed over, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, let's go get something to eat first, I'm hungry," Mo Yiqing said.

"Okay, there's a restaurant inside that looks nice," Gu Zhihua suggested, "let's eat there."

The group reached an agreement and went into the mall and then into the restaurant.

They chose seats by the floor-to-ceiling windows and began ordering.

Soon the waiter brought out all the dishes, and they chatted as they ate.

"By the way, didn't you invite Xiao Lan today?" Gu Zhihua had wanted to ask that earlier.

"I called her, but she said she wanted to sleep more. I thought she worked hard and finally got a break, so I didn't bother her anymore," Su Xintian replied.

"Wait a minute, look! Isn't that Xiao Lan? She's getting out of a luxury car." Mo Yiqing thought she was seeing things and gestured for them to look.

The two looked over at the same time, and it really was Xiao Lan.
