Cheating on her husband's mistress? I seduced her third son.

Soon, Su Yutang changed her clothes and came out again.

This time, they're dressed as students.

However, the amount of fabric was still pitifully small, barely enough to cover the vital parts.

She tied her originally loose black hair into two innocent ponytails, draped them over her shoulders, and walked towards Shen Jibai with a smile.

Shen Jibai froze again, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably twice, completely dumbfounded.

"How's this set?"

She bent down in front of him.

"Which one looks better, this one or the previous one?"

She paused, then suddenly leaned closer, asking in surprise, "Why is your face so red? Your neck looks red too."

Shen Jibai immediately lowered his head and hurriedly tugged at the collar of his white T-shirt.

"Oh my god...it's so hot...you didn't turn on the air conditioner, it's so hot, really so hot!"

Su Yutang turned her head to look at the air conditioner.

"Oh, I forgot to turn it on when I got back."

She picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned it on.

"Okay, it'll cool off soon."

Then she looked at him with a smile.

"From your men's perspective, which one do you think looks better?"

Shen Jibai gripped the cushion tightly, forcing himself to compose himself before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Whichever you wear, you could make any man fall head over heels!"

Su Yutang raised an eyebrow, somewhat disbelieving, and tilted her head to get closer to him.

"real?"

Shen Jibai's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded emphatically, his tone urgent as if afraid she wouldn't believe him.

"More real than real gold!"

Su Yutang chuckled softly, sat down next to him on the sofa, and placed her two slender legs on the cushions on his lap, causing her skirt to slide up a few more inches.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

"Ah~"

"I want to eat potato chips."

After saying that, she opened her mouth, waiting for her male best friend to feed her.

Shen Jibai quickly took a deep breath, reached out and picked up the bag of potato chips that had fallen on the carpet, obediently handed it to her lips, and patiently fed her bite by bite.

After eating potato chips, the two moved to the dining table for dinner.

Su Yutang was still wearing her school uniform. Shen Jibai didn't dare to look up at her the whole time and just ate his meal in silence.

She was still preoccupied with figuring out how to completely win over Gu Chengyan, completely oblivious to Shen Jibai's unusual behavior.

After the meal.

It suddenly started raining outside the window.

Su Yutang walked to the window and looked out.

"It's raining so hard, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Shen Jibai's heart skipped a beat.

Why wouldn't he want to stay?

But he dared not.

He was afraid he would lose control, and even more afraid that the identity of his male best friend, which he had carefully maintained over the years, would be completely exposed at some point.

Throughout her four years of university, she rejected all the boys who pursued her.

He never dared to confess his feelings, fearing that he would be the next one to be rejected.

At last.

I can only silently stay by her side as her best friend.

He shook his head with a wry smile: "Never mind, I'll just go back."

Su Yutang rolled her eyes at him: "I bet you're missing your girlfriend, huh? You're such a womanizer."

Shen Jibai opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of comfort to her, and even wanted to say that he was willing to stay.

But when his gaze fell on her, her school uniform still outlined her figure in exquisite detail, and the fire he had just suppressed seemed to rise again.

He feared that if he stayed even a second longer, his reason would crumble.

In the end, he made up an excuse and left in a hurry.

After leaving Su Yutang's place, Shen Jibai didn't go home. Instead, he drove at breakneck speed all the way to He Xun's building.

He made a phone call and summoned the man down. As soon as He Xun appeared, Shen Jibai rushed up and punched him hard in the face.

Then came another punch.

He Xun staggered backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and roared, "What's wrong with you?"

"Now that you've won her over, why betray her?"

Shen Jibai's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed his collar.

"She's such a good person, who gave you permission to betray her?"

Before he could finish speaking, another punch landed.

He Xun was completely enraged and threw a punch back.

"I fucking didn't want this either! But the company is about to go bankrupt, and I have no choice but to turn to Gu Ruyan. Gu's Group can bring me back to life! If I can just get through this, I'll apologize to Tangtang and beg for her forgiveness!"

"Betrayal is betrayal, don't make excuses!"

Shen Jibai pushed him hard to the ground and grabbed his collar.

"If you truly love someone, you would never do anything to hurt her... I was so blind back then, I didn't realize you were a beast!"

He Xun suddenly laughed, his laughter hoarse and mocking.

"Why are you so agitated? Do you really think I can't see through your little scheme?"

He stared at Shen Jibai, exposing his true colors.

"You lied to Tangtang for four years, making her believe you liked men, but the way you looked at her wasn't innocent at all. You liked her, didn't you?"

Shen Jibai froze, momentarily choked up.

He Xun looked at his pale face and smiled even more triumphantly.

"Shen Jibai, Tangtang hates being deceived the most. You won't have a chance anymore. You're a fucking loser!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

Shen Jibai's eyes were bloodshot. He loosened He Xun's collar and slammed his fist down hard, accompanied by a gust of wind and rain.

Rainwater mixed with the blood from their mouths splattered on the wet ground, making a dull thud.

He Xun's eyes also turned red. He grabbed Shen Jibai's collar and kicked him hard in the stomach, roaring as he retaliated.

"What? Did I hit a nerve? You're such a coward! You can't even admit you like someone!"

These words were like a knife, piercing Shen Jibai's heart.

He threw punches like a madman, and the two of them fought fiercely in the pouring rain.

Gu Residence —

The room was warm and inviting.

Gu Chengyan handed the birthday gift box he had prepared to his mother, Gu Ruyan.

Happy birthday, Mom. I hope you like it.

Gu Ruyan opened it with a smile, revealing a luxurious and soft black fox fur coat.

She gently stroked the fabric, a smile in her eyes.

"My good son understands me best. This coat feels so good, it's obviously made of the finest black fox fur. Chengyan, you're so thoughtful. It's no wonder I love you so much."

Gu Huaiye, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward.

"Mom, do you only love my brother? What about me?"

As he spoke, he handed over the gift box that he and Gu Chengyan had spent the entire afternoon shopping for.

"This is an imperial purple bracelet that I specially chose for you."

Gu Ruyan smiled as she opened the gift box, slipped the bracelet onto her wrist, and then tapped Gu Huaiye's forehead.

"What, are you jealous of your brother? Of course Mom loves you. This bracelet goes perfectly with my black fox fur coat. You two are both Mom's precious darlings."

Gu Chengyan's gaze swept over the empty seats at the dining table, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Why didn't Xizhou come?"

"Why bring him up!"

Gu Ruyan's smile vanished instantly, and she sat back down in her chair.

Gu Chengyan remained silent for a moment, but still patiently persuaded him.

"Mom, today is your birthday. He is your son, after all, so he should come and celebrate with you."

Seeing Gu Ruyan's gloomy face, Gu Huaiye quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about Xizhou anymore."

"Mom, our family should live in harmony. Let bygones be bygones about the unpleasant things from before."

Gu Chengyan didn't budge, his tone carrying a hint of insistence.

Gu Ruyan waved her hand irritably.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about him. The food on the table is getting cold. Let's eat first."

Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. In the end, they didn't say anything more, but silently picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Suddenly, the arrogant roar of a motorcycle came from afar, abruptly shattering the warm atmosphere inside the Gu residence.

The door was kicked open, and Gu Xizhou stood in the doorway against the light.

He wasn't wearing racing gear; instead, he wore a loose blue casual jacket with the zipper half-open, revealing a faint silver chain around his neck, exuding an untamed wildness.

He walked in expressionlessly, ignoring the three people frozen at the table.
