After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

She ignored it until her emotions gradually calmed down, then she sat up, wiped away her tears with a tissue, and picked up her phone from the central control panel.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Peichuan sent her a message: [Zhengzheng, where did you go? Didn't you say you were waiting for me?]

It seems Lu Peichuan has gone home.

As Rong Zheng looked at the message, she recalled countless nights when she was called away by Manager Wang, only to find him not returning home at night.

After waiting a while, she gradually got used to it.

We got used to him being called away by Manager Wang, and we got used to him not coming home at night.

At that time, although she had some resentment in her heart, she felt that he was doing it for work and had no other choice.

But now...

It was all a deception!

There's practically no work.

It's all fake!

And who is Manager Wang?

Rong Zheng already had a guess in her mind about the answer.

She put down her phone and stared blankly into space until her emotions completely calmed down. Then she opened the rearview mirror.

In the mirror, her eyes were red and her eyelids were swollen.

The signs of crying were very obvious.

She looked in the mirror, gently patted her cheeks, exhaled, then closed the mirror, started the engine, and drove towards Sands Bay.

Rong Zheng entered the villa and saw Lu Peichuan sitting on the living room sofa looking at his phone. He seemed very focused and happy, with a faint smile on his lips. He didn't even notice her coming in.

She changed her shoes and went inside. He looked up at her when he heard her footsteps, then turned off his phone and asked gently, "Where have you been so late?"

So he knew it was late, but didn't he still go to see Manager Wang late at night?

When Rong Zheng walked to the coffee table, Lu Peichuan noticed that her eyes were red and swollen. He quickly got up, went over, and took her hand. "Have you been crying? Who bullied you?"

Rong Zheng stared intently at Lu Peichuan.

Under the lights, the man had handsome features and a well-defined profile. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, which hugged his lean body. He came from a wealthy family, and his appearance, physique, and family background were all excellent.

He was still the same upright and honest man, the Lu Peichuan who attracted countless women.

He was still the same Lu Peichuan who bought her fried chicken on a cold, rainy winter night, burning his chest bright red in the process.

Although she looked exactly the same as before, Rong Zheng felt strangely unfamiliar with her at this moment.

Lu Peichuan had never seen Rong Zheng's eyes like that before, as if she saw through everything, as if her heart was dead, and as if she was utterly disappointed.

For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something very important was about to leave him.

He tightened his grip on Rong Zheng's hand, his brows furrowed with worry. "Zheng Zheng, don't scare me. What happened?"

Rong Zheng lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, and said softly, "My brother got into some trouble, so I went to take care of it."

"What's wrong? Is it serious? Do you need my help?"

The man asked somewhat urgently, seemingly very worried. Rong Zheng looked up at Lu Peichuan, and the worry in his eyes was genuine.

He was genuinely worried about her.

How can one person's heart hold two people at the same time?

"It's alright, I've taken care of it. I'm going to rest." Rong Zheng withdrew her hand and walked upstairs.

Lu Peichuan watched Rong Zheng's retreating figure. "Didn't you want to talk to me?"

Rong Zheng stopped in her tracks. What were they talking about?

Does he regret sending Su Qingya abroad?

Who is Manager Wang who keeps calling him?

Or should we discuss whether he has any feelings for Su Qingya?

These things seem unnecessary to discuss.

Because she already had the answer in her heart, she just hadn't confirmed it yet.

And confirmed...

We don't need him.

She can do it herself.

Because he's a liar, even if she tells him everything, he probably won't tell the truth. He might even find more seemingly reasonable excuses to correct her suspicions.

Then she was plunged into endless doubt and internal strife.

She didn't want this, nor did she want to be kept in the dark any longer. She wanted to uncover everything herself and see the truth with her own eyes.

"I'm tired, let's talk later." After saying this, Rong Zheng went upstairs.

She went to check on her daughter in the children's room first, and woke up Xu's mother who was sleeping.

Still half-asleep, Xu Ma sat up. "Madam, are you sleeping here tonight?"

Rong Zheng had originally planned to sleep in separate rooms from Lu Peichuan, but now...

She thought for a moment, then said, "No, you go back to sleep."

Xu Ma thought that Rong Zheng had finally come to her senses and was willing to sleep with Lu Peichuan, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, Madam, don't worry, I'll be on guard and take good care of Miss."

Rong Zheng nodded, turned and left the children's room, went to the master bedroom, and entered the room to see Lu Peichuan sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Is Tangtang being good?" he asked.

He clearly knew she had just gone to see her daughter.

"Mmm, you slept very soundly." Rong Zheng gestured towards the bathroom. "You go take a shower first. I'm tired and want to lie down for a while before showering."

"Okay." Lu Peichuan replied verbally, but remained seated, his gaze fixed on Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng frowned. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I feel like you're acting strange tonight."

Rong Zheng gave a slight smile. "I'm just too tired. You know, my family's affairs never give me any peace of mind."

Lu Peichuan knew that Zhao Yuxiang and Rong Jianguo favored sons over daughters, so he never hesitated to be generous to Rong Zheng's parents in order to make Rong Zheng's situation better in her parents' home.

Knowing that she was upset because of her family's affairs, Lu Peichuan's flustered heart calmed down. "If you need anything from me, just let me know."

"Okay, I'll go get you your pajamas." Rong Zheng walked towards the dressing room.

Lu Peichuan walked to the bedside table, put down his phone, and took off his watch. Just then, Rong Zheng came out of the dressing room with her pajamas, and he took the clothes and went into the bathroom.

Rong Zheng glanced at the bedside table, then looked towards the bathroom. Only when she heard the sound of running water did she walk to the bedside table and pick up Lu Peichuan's phone.

Because she is a psychologist and often conducts online consultations, and patients' information is private, she told Lu Peichuan not to look at her phone.

Out of mutual respect, she never looked at Lu Peichuan's phone.

So he had no defenses against her on his phone.

Rong Zheng entered her birthday to unlock the phone, and with a click, it turned on.

Rong Zheng first checked the call log.

Manager Wang gets a lot of calls, almost every day, sometimes several a day.

On the contrary, it took her a long time to find the contact labeled "wife".

Then she exited the call and went to WeChat.
