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

Hiding behind the curtains, Su Yutang breathed very softly.

The footsteps grew closer.

It's He Xun.

She was almost instinctively certain.

Gu Ruyan and Gu Chengyan had just gone to the kitchen, leaving him alone in the living room.

Damn.

Su Yutang regretted it.

How could I have been so bewitched just now, choosing this most conspicuous and inescapable place just to eavesdrop on what Gu Ruyan was saying?

If they had hidden in an upstairs room, or any empty room, they wouldn't be in this predicament now.

What if He Xun finds out? How should she explain it?

He Xun's footsteps drew ever closer to the curtains.

Just as he reached out to pull back the curtain, Gu Chengyan, who came out of the kitchen, called out to him in time.

"He Xun, come help Mom prepare dinner."

He Xun's hand, which was gripping the curtain, paused.

He looked down again at the pair of high heels under the curtains.

He wasn't sure if the person hiding behind him was Su Yutang.

Maybe.

It just so happens that another woman was wearing the same shoes.

Su Yutang already has Shen Jibai, so she shouldn't get entangled with Gu Chengyan.

He slowly released his hand, not pulling it any further.

Perhaps Gu Chengyan simply didn't want his mother to know about this woman's existence, which is why he had her hide here.

He Xun turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Only after hearing the footsteps fade away did Su Yutang, who was hiding behind the curtain, dare to let out a heavy breath.

I was so nervous; he almost found out.

After He Xun entered the kitchen, Gu Chengyan immediately went to the curtains, opened a crack, and whispered to Su Yutang, "Go upstairs to the bedroom and wait for me. It's the first room on the left on the second floor. I'll be up soon."

Su Yutang stared at the amulet around his neck without saying a word, and walked quickly upstairs with a sullen face.

Gu Chengyan noticed that she looked unwell.

Is this little woman angry?

Su Yutang pushed open the door and entered the first bedroom on the left on the second floor. The room was very clean.

She went straight to the wardrobe and picked out a men's white shirt.

The shirt is made of soft material and is just long enough to cover the thighs.

She took off her clothes and put them on; the wide hem of the dress hung down, making her skin appear fair and delicate.

Then, she lay lazily on her side on the bed and waited patiently.

In the kitchen downstairs.

Gu Chengyan was distracted and couldn't wait any longer.

"Mom, I won't eat with you. I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to sleep."

He turned and walked out, but before leaving the kitchen, he turned back and reminded them, "Don't come up to say goodbye when you're done eating. Just remember to close the door properly for me."

Before Gu Ruyan and He Xun could respond, he had already hurriedly stepped onto the stairs.

Gu Ruyan felt more and more uneasy.

It's late at night at home, not like he's busy at the company with his feet touching the ground. How come he doesn't even have time to have a meal with me and He Xun?

Just now in the kitchen, he kept glancing out.

Could it be that someone is hiding in the house?

She turned to look at He Xun, who was chopping vegetables beside her, and said in a somber tone, "You cook the vegetables, I'll go out and take a look."

He Xun nodded: "Okay."

Upstairs in the bedroom, Gu Chengyan gently pushed open the door, his gaze instantly drawn to the figure on the bed.

Su Yutang was wearing his white shirt, revealing a section of her straight and slender legs. She was lying on her side, her long hair scattered on the pillow, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were asleep, yet exuding an unconscious allure.

Gu Chengyan gently closed the door and slowly walked to the bedside to sit down.

He leaned down, his gaze sliding from her forehead to the tip of her upturned nose, and then to her tightly pursed red lips, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

The oversized shirt accentuated her petite figure, and the collar slipped loosely off one shoulder, revealing her delicate collarbone.

Then comes the undulating curves beneath the shirt, finally settling on those crossed legs.

Every corner is so beautiful that it captivates the soul.

Su Yutang slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu Chengyan. She didn't say anything, but turned her back to him.

Gu Chengyan gazed at her back; her waistline was faintly visible beneath the fabric, making her seem like a silent seduction.

He leaned down and gently hugged her from behind, asking softly, "Are you angry?"

Su Yutang tried to pry his hand away, her tone displeased: "Don't touch me."

Gu Chengyan hugged her tighter, his voice softening, "Don't be angry. I didn't know my mom would suddenly come... I left them behind to come up and be with you, okay? Don't be angry anymore, alright?"

Su Yutang turned around and her gaze fell on the amulet around his neck.

"I wouldn't dare touch you. This amulet was obtained by your mother after she kowtowed ninety-nine times to ward off this female ghost. How could I dare touch you?"

Gu Chengyan looked down at the talisman; so that's what she was angry about.

He raised his hand, took the amulet from his neck, and gently hung it around her neck, coaxing her.

"Then I won't wear it. Can you wear it for me?"

Su Yutang touched the amulet and said seriously, "This was obtained by your mother after she kowtowed 99 times. You're really willing to let me wear it?"

Gu Chengyan stroked her hair, his face serious: "As long as you're not angry, anything is fine."

Su Yutang looked at the deep emotions surging in his eyes, but still kept a straight face and asked an extremely cliché question.

"Then let me ask you another question: if I and your mother both fell into the water, who would you save first?"

Gu Chengyan hadn't expected her to suddenly ask that question.

He was stunned for a few seconds, looking helpless. This little woman really knew how to make things difficult for him whenever she had the chance.

If you choose your mother, she will definitely be angry.

Choosing her, however, earned him the reputation of being unfilial.

This isn't a multiple-choice question; it's a death trap.

Seeing his troubled expression, Su Yutang knew she had lost.

In his heart, filial piety ultimately took precedence over her.

Another image popped into her mind uncontrollably.

Gu Huaiye.

That perverted second son of the Gu family.

If you were to pose this question to him, how would he answer?

She wanted to take a gamble, hoping that Gu Huaiye, who didn't play by the rules, would give her a different answer.

She sat up, leaned against the headboard, and picked up her phone.

"I know your answer, but now I'm suddenly curious, what would your younger brother, Gu Huaiye, say if he were asked the same question?"

As Su Yutang spoke, she found Gu Huaiye's number and quickly typed in a line of text.

[I have a question for you, and you have to answer honestly: If I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?]

After editing, she paused for two seconds and then clicked send.

My fingertips hovered above the screen, and my heart pounded uncontrollably.

She wasn't really sure either.

Will Gu Huaiye find this question too tricky and simply ignore it?

Will they choose her mother directly?

Gu Chengyan panicked and immediately sat up straight and moved closer to her.

"I haven't decided yet. After all, she's my mom. You and Mom are both important to me. I just don't know how to choose right now. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yutang's phone suddenly rang with a "ding".

Her fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.

I didn't expect Gu Huaiye to reply so quickly.
