Gu Bei didn't really care about Xin Xuanyin as much as he did.

From the time Xin Nianyin begged for mercy when she accepted the family's law, to the time when she delivered the cake later, to the time when she sent her breakfast and sent her regards.

Every ”gentleness” Gu Bei had towards Xin Nianyin had occurred after she had had an unpleasant time with her.

This seemed to be a coincidence, but in reality, it was deliberate.

His purpose was simple: to see how much he cared about his new wife.

Now, he thought, he had achieved his goal.

”Wu Qi, you really misunderstood me. I just came to take a look at Nian Yin. She has put in a lot of effort into this vacation project.”

”My woman is not something that others can see. If you want to see her, you should find your own woman so that you don't ruin your family's reputation, right?”

The meaning of Gu Zhen was pointed out.

In front of Old Man Gu, Xu Yi was making a fool out of things, and it was well-known that Gu Bo had ruined the family's reputation.

Of course, Gu Bei was clear about this point.

”I really like to joke around. Since I can see that Nian Yin is fine, I am relieved. I still have things that I haven't finished taking care of, so I will be leaving first.”

Saying so, she gracefully turned around and left his sight.

At the moment of his departure, the corners of Gu Bei's mouth unconsciously curled up. His expression flashed across his face so quickly that no one was able to catch him.

However, all of this was not hidden from the people in the darkness.

”The only spectator has left. Director Gu, how long are you going to hold him for?”

Xin Nianyin, who hadn't said anything for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth.

At this moment, Xin Nianyin's heart had already turned into ashes after that one slap.

She had thought that a man like Gu Bo was not someone she could afford to provoke. Ever since she met him, she had been accepting disaster, and now, all she wanted was for him to be merciful and give her her freedom.

”What did you say?”

Although Gu Bajie's words were a question, he wasn't really asking Xin Nianyin, but more of it was anger and surprise.

”I said that Director Gu can let go of a woman with such a loose personality like me.”

”Xin Xinyin …”

”If there's nothing else, I'll be going now.”

After saying this sentence, Xin Nianyin didn't even look at him as she struggled to get out of his room.

She had already made up her mind that she would keep a distance from him in the future.

Watching Xin Nianyin disappear around the corner, Gu Jianming suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Then he lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply into his lungs, as if this were the only way he could feel slightly better.

When the cigarette was almost done, Gu Jianming had almost thought it through, and shouted into the air, ”Come on, come on out!”

As soon as he finished, Pei Zi Yun appeared before Gu Bo.

”Third Young Master!”

”How is it?”

Gu Qi did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Pei Zi Yun knew what he was referring to.

”Just as Third Young Master had guessed, the Young Madam had indeed been schemed against by her sister and stepmother before marrying into the Gu Clan. Before the Xin Clan, she did not have any contact with Gu Bei.”

”Continue!”

Gu Jianming creased his brow, feeling slightly guilty for misunderstanding Xin Xinyin.

”Gu Bei really wanted to rope in the young madam. Every time he came to comfort the young madam, it was actually to see what kind of place the young madam held in the Third Young Master's heart.”

Pei Zi Yun told all the information he had gathered to Gu Qi, and even the smile on his face never faded.
