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

"Zhihua, what are you doing here?" Xiao Lan was a little surprised to see her in the rented room.

"Xiao Lan, you're back. A few of us bought groceries and were planning to have hot pot. You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Gu Zhihua said with a smile.

"I've already eaten, you guys eat," Xiao Lan said, turning to go back to her room.

"Xiao Lan, we actually have something we want to talk to you about. How about we eat and chat? We haven't had a chat in a long time," Gu Zhihua said quickly when she saw Xiao Lan was about to go back to her room.

Xiao Lan frowned. Had they discovered something?

"Xiao Lan, you're back? The dishes are ready, just start cooking and we can eat. Come and sit down." Su Xintian brought out the dishes and placed them on the table.

The rented room was small, and the kitchen was also tiny, so we had to eat at the coffee table in the living room.

Xiao Lan couldn't refuse any longer and wanted to hear what they had to say, so she put down the pile of shopping bags she was carrying and went over.

Mo Yiqing brought out the soup base, placed it on the induction cooker, and turned on the heat. "Okay, all done."

The group sat down. They hadn't finished the beer they bought last time, so Su Xintian gave each person a can of beer.

The group looked at each other, unsure how to approach the conversation.

Su Xintian forced herself to speak first, "Xiao Lan, we saw you getting out of a luxury car while we were shopping today..."

She paused here, watching for her reaction.

Xiao Lan paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. She had been seen, after all. Now that she had been seen, there was no need to hide it anymore. "Yes, that's my boyfriend."

"Didn't you say you weren't in a relationship?" Su Xintian frowned.

"Oh dear, I wasn't settled in yet, was I? I just wanted my relationship with him to be more stable before I told you," Xiao Lan said, trying to fool you.

"Xiao Lan, do you know who he is? Do you understand him clearly?" Mo Yiqing couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'd get to know him before I'd be with him," Xiao Lan thought to herself. Get to know what? In this day and age, all you need is money.

"Xiao Lan, he's not as good as you think. He's a womanizer; he changes women like he changes clothes," Mo Yiqing said bluntly, assuming Xiao Lan didn't know.

"I know all that. That was before. We've been together for over a month now, and we haven't broken up yet, have we? Besides, he treats me very well and spoils me. Look, all those things were bought for me by him." Xiao Lan pointed to the shopping bags on the side.

"We've all seen it. These are all material things. He likes you now, so he's definitely willing to spend this money, but have you thought about the future?" Gu Zhihua sighed.

"We'll talk about the future later. I'm very confident in myself. I will be his last woman. I'm full. You can continue eating." Xiao Lan found them annoying, stood up, took her spoils, and went back to her room.

She closed the door, rolled her eyes, and thought, "Gu Zhihua is talking about herself, but isn't she just as materialistic? Otherwise, why would she have married Mo Yeting? There's nothing wrong with me choosing Liang Tao."

She dumped all the clothes and bags she had bought onto the bed, a happy look on her face. Who doesn't like these things?

The people outside all sighed in unison.

"Forget it, it's her own business. Let's not interfere in the future," Su Xintian said.

"We've already explained Liang Tao's character to her. This is the path she chose herself, and there's nothing we can do about it." Gu Zhihua felt that she was an adult, and everyone has their own path to walk, which is also their own choice. Even if it's wrong, she has to bear the consequences herself.

"Alright, don't worry anymore, the beef balls are cooked, eat up." Mo Yiqing knew they were sad for their good friend, so she tried to lighten the mood.

The group chuckled and began to eat.

They ate and drank their fill.

Gu Zhihua and Mo Yiqing left the rented house.

When the two reached the intersection, Gu Zhihua saw a familiar figure leaning against the car door, the streetlights casting long shadows.

"Little...Little Uncle?" Mo Yiqing's eyes widened.

"Honey, what brings you here?" Gu Zhihua ran over and threw herself into his arms. The familiar scent lingered around her nose, and she subconsciously inhaled, hugging his waist tightly.

Mo Yiqing's lips twitched. Ugh, this is too much. I'll be overwhelmed by all this PDA one day.

"Honey, I miss you so much~" Gu Zhihua really missed him.

"Only now you realize you miss me?" Mo Yeting's tone was clearly angry.

"I think about it all the time." Gu Zhihua stuck out her tongue with a grin.

"I...I'll head back now," Mo Yiqing said before slipping away.

"Eh..." Gu Zhihua wanted to say that they would see her off.

"Wife, get in the car." Mo Yeting helped her into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

Gu Zhihua looked at Mo Yeting, who had returned to the driver's seat, and asked, "Honey, are you angry?"

"You could tell?" Mo Yeting raised an eyebrow. "How much did you drink?"

"It was just one can of beer, I'm not drunk," Gu Zhihua confessed honestly.

Mo Yeting started the car and sped down the road.

"Honey, what are you doing? Are you in such a hurry?" Gu Zhihua found him acting strangely.

"I have to go to Lincheng tomorrow and may not be back for a few days. I won't be able to see my wife for several days, so I'm rushing back to take care of some important business," he said without any attempt to hide it.

"Are you going for a few days?" Gu Zhihua was also a little reluctant to leave. This was the first time she and Mo Yeting had been separated for so long since they got together.

"I can't bear to leave my husband, so let's go together." He desperately wanted to pack her up and take her with him.

"No, I still have my studies to do. You're going to work, so I don't want to bother you." Gu Zhihua felt it was inappropriate. Her studies were a minor matter, but it wouldn't be good if she bothered him there.

"Okay." Mo Yeting didn't insist, and the car had already stopped at Mo Garden.

After they got out of the car, Gu Zhihua took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on his lips. "Tonight, I'll take the initiative~"

"Okay." Mo Yeting picked her up and carried her back to the villa.

The next day.

Before dawn, Mo Yeting got up, kissed her on the head, and tiptoed away.

When Gu Zhihua woke up, it was already noon. Last night, she said she took the initiative, but in the end, she was too weak and became passive...

She picked up her phone and saw an unread WeChat message. She opened it; it was from her husband: "Your husband's not here. Take good care of yourself, eat well, and sleep well."

Gu Zhihua suddenly felt empty inside. She sat on the bed in a daze for a long time. When did her life become so inseparable from Mo Yeting? Although he was only away on a business trip for a few days, her longing for him grew wildly as soon as he left.

She didn't reply, afraid of disturbing him, so she got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs in her pajamas.

Butler Mo came forward and said, "Young Madam, lunch is ready."

"Okay." She walked into the dining room, rested her chin on her hand, and began to eat in a low mood.
