What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

Nine o'clock in the evening, at Ye Wen's house.

Gu Jiangyi enjoyed a nice dinner after a long time. Ye Wen's cooking skills were not particularly good, but they were definitely not bad either. Although Ye Xia had been spun around with a top for half an hour by Mu Xingyuan and Ye Wen to exorcise evil spirits, she still acted as if nothing had happened and enthusiastically offered Gu Jiangyi bananas.

Mu Xingyuan would add more rice for her, encouraging her to eat more. Ye Wen... well, the fact that her senior didn't say anything was already an incredibly gentle gesture.

Is this what real family is like?

Gu Jiangyi felt a warm feeling in her heart. She accidentally dropped her chopsticks, bent down to pick them up, and then…

Under the table, Mu Xingyuan was seen frantically attacking Ye Wen with her feet, while Ye Wen countered her moves, engaging in a lively battle with her.

Gu Jiangyi was greatly shocked.

Is this what real family is like?!

Soon, the meal was almost finished.

"Brother, Jiang Jiang is going to stay at our house for a few days, right?"

While washing the dishes, Ye Xia bent down and looked up at Ye Wen, asking, "So, is she staying in my room or yours, brother?"

Ye Xia's natural ease allowed her to call Gu Jiangyi by her nickname without any hesitation.

However, Gu Jiangyi herself doesn't seem to have adapted yet.

Ye Wen glanced at his foolish younger sister: "Of course I'll sleep with you. What, you don't want to?"

"No, Jiang Jiang is so cute, of course I'd love to."

"But my bed can only sleep two people, so where will Sister Xingyuan sleep?"

Ye Wen said expressionlessly, "Of course she sleeps in my room, is that even a question?"

Mu Xingyuan only knows how to occupy Ye Wen's bed.

She wasn't used to sleeping in other people's beds.

"Hey? So where are you sleeping, brother?"

Ye Wen listlessly raised his dead fish eyes: "I'll stand guard outside the door for you guys, okay?"

Ye Xia covered her mouth with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be so kind, brother, to offer to keep watch for us."

"I'll build you a little nest outside right now, brother, so you won't get cold!"

"How about it? Aren't you very touched, Onii-chan... Uh, Onii-chan, why are you pulling out your belt?"

"Aaaaaah! Stop whipping my top! It's going to drive me crazy!"

Mu Xingyuan looked at Ye Wen, who was chasing after Ye Xia and slapping him, and suddenly spoke up: "Although it's a bit late to say this now, it seems like you've got something wrong."

"I'm not staying here overnight."

"Um?"

Having successfully grabbed Ye Xia by the back of the neck, Ye Wen, ready to launch a spinning top, turned around and asked, "Why are you at my house if you don't live here?"

"What you're saying? Can't I just simply miss you?"

Mu Xingyuan yawned, and looking at Ye Wen, her expression became slightly more serious: "Isn't it because someone is in a hurry for me to find out some results?"

"I was afraid it was something very important, so I came to his house early to wait for him. But I didn't expect that he would go and seduce the main character and bring back a fourth concubine."

Ye Wen knew what Mu Xingyuan was talking about.

So he switched from Hurricane Warrior mode to Pokémon Trainer mode and threw Ye Xia in his hand toward Gu Jiangyi.

I've decided on you, Ye Xia!

"Your sister Xingyuan and I are going out to do some things that only adults do. Ye Xia, you stay home and get to know her a bit."

After giving his instructions, Ye Wen walked up to Mu Xingyuan and gestured for her to come out with him. Mu Xingyuan turned her head away haughtily and didn't move, but she extended her palm.

He acted as if he wouldn't leave unless I held his hand.

Ye Wen sighed, took Mu Xingyuan's hand and went out. The door closed, leaving only the bewildered Gu Jiangyi and the unrestrained Ye Xia in the living room.

"Uh, Ye Xia, why did the seniors leave? Do you have any clues... Hey hey hey hey hey hey!!!"

Gu Jiangyi gasped in surprise, looking at Ye Xia who was stroking her waist from behind: "Ye Xia, what are you doing?!"

Ye Xia removed the glasses that were not actually on his face and gave a wicked smile.

"Oh, how old are you and still so shy?"

"We're going to be sleeping together soon, so of course we need to get to know each other better."

"Wow, Jiang Jiang, your waist is so slim and soft! Let me touch it~"

"Ahhh, no! Senior, save me, waaaaah..."

At this moment, Ye Wen, who had already walked downstairs, looked up.

"Gu Jiangyi?"

A few seconds later, he shrugged.

"It might just be my imagination."

And so, Gu Jiangyi was dragged into Ye Xia's room little by little, like a spider preying on its prey.

What will happen after the door closes?

Then you'll have to pay.

……

Ten minutes later.

After buying two cans of coffee from a roadside vending machine, Ye Wen and Mu Xingyuan went to the rooftop of a residential building. The evening breeze caressed their faces, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.

Ye Wen, with his lifeless eyes, asked, "So, what's the point of walking an extra five minutes to get here?"

"Don't you think the atmosphere here is great?" Mu Xingyuan took a sip of coffee and glanced at Ye Wen. "Don't you understand romance, you deadbeat straight man?"

"Do we even need romance between us?"

Ye Wen raised an eyebrow: "Stop with the nonsense, how's the investigation going with what I asked you to do?"

"Before I tell you, you have to answer my question first."

Mu Xingyuan suddenly closed the distance between herself and Ye Wen with a single step. Her almost perfect face was only a few centimeters away from Ye Wen, and she could even faintly smell the scent of his shower gel.

There was also a faint fragrance belonging to a young girl.

"What have you been up to lately, Ye Wen?"

She reached out and played with Ye Wen's face like he was playing with clay: "First, he used the little money he had in his account to save a girl he had only met a few days ago."

"Then he readily joined the struggles of the underground organization and even got involved with Shen Xuqiu from the Shen family."

"Now they're focusing their attention on female students?"

"What, your blockhead has finally come to his senses? Planning to build a harem? Let me make this clear first, I have to be the main wife."

Ye Wen smirked: "Isn't your thinking a bit off-track?"

"And how did you find out about the Shen family?"

Mu Xingyuan casually said, "Oh, Shen Caichun, the eldest sister of the Shen family, asked me for information about the underground black network. I searched for a long time and found out about the Moon in the Sky."

Cai Chunjie even asked Mu Xingyuan to buy information?

Ye Wen quipped, "Your business scope is quite broad, huh?"

"Don't change the subject, you haven't answered my question yet."

She pressed the coffee cup against Ye Wen's face, looking determined not to give up until she got an answer.

Ye Wen remained silent for a while.

A few seconds later, he gave his answer.

"I'll go on a date with you next week, then you can let this go."

Mu Xingyuan: "?"

Yes, faced with Mu Xingyuan's questioning, Ye Wen chose the simplest and most direct method.

That means bribing her with sex.

Would Mu Xingyuan agree to Ye Wen's attempt to sell his genitals?

"Okay, it's a deal."

She couldn't agree more.

The logic is simple: she'll find out sooner or later anyway. If Ye Wen doesn't want to say, then he doesn't have to. If she agrees now, she can get his freedom and sex on her day off for free. Why not?

But what could possibly make Ye Wen choose to sell his genitals? Mu Xingyuan was becoming increasingly curious.

I'm so curious!

Thus, the two sides reached a consensus.

"Ahem, let me explain what I found out."

Mu Xingyuan began to play her role: "Let me start by telling you something that goes against common sense."

"Gu Jiangyi's family is not poor. On the contrary, they are rich, extremely rich. They are considered the richest family in Tianyu. It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Jiangyi is a young lady from a prestigious family."

Ye Wen frowned: "Then how did she end up working as a laborer outside?"

"What, her father also lost 168 billion?"

"That's the key point I want to make."

Mu Xingyuan sighed softly, a hint of pity and anger flashing in her eyes.

"Gu Jiangyi's apparent mother, that is, the lady of the Gu family, married Gu Jiangyi's father a long time ago, but many years have passed and the two still have no children."

"In wealthy families, face is the most important thing, and being unable to have children is the most shameful thing. People can't directly say that Mr. Gu has a problem, so it's natural to vent their malice on Mrs. Gu."

"Of course, I don't know which of the two is in the wrong. All I know is that, faced with the rumors, Mrs. Gu made a very outrageous decision at the time."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Ye Wen suddenly realized something, and his dead fish eyes slightly opened: "You mean...?"

"That's right."

Mu Xingyuan nodded: "At that time, the maid beside Madam Gu was her junior and friend, simply put, someone she trusted."

"Her identity as an adopter from the orphanage would be easily exposed, so in order to have a child of her own, she chose to get Mr. Gu drunk and then have the maid have sex with him."

"And so, the maid gave birth to her child."

Ye Wen paused for a moment, trying to understand the behavioral logic behind the accident. After thinking for a while, he found it a bit difficult and stopped trying.

He asked simply and directly, "So how did Gu Jiangyi become like this today?"

"This is the beginning of the tragedy."

Mu Xingyuan chuckled dryly: "Because, after the maid became pregnant, Madam Gu discovered it unexpectedly one afternoon."

"She's pregnant too."
