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

Gu Chengyan stood up coldly and rebuked sharply, "Xizhou, what happened between you and Yutang is indeed touching. I have no right to stop you from falling in love with him, but you shouldn't have impersonated me to approach her. That's deception, blatant deception! How is your behavior any different from that of a swindler?"

He became colder and colder as he spoke.

"On this point alone, you will never be as good as Huaiye. He may be competing with me, but at least he is upright and would never impersonate me to get close to Yutang using such despicable means."

Gu Huaiye was already furious, and when he heard that Gu Xizhou dared to impersonate him, his anger surged and he immediately stood up.

But when he heard the second half of Gu Chengyan's words, he felt a pang of guilt and silently sat back down on the sofa.

To cover up his momentary guilt, he picked up the water glass on the table and gulped it down.

Gu Chengyan looked at Gu Huaiye, and seeing that he still didn't react, he frowned and asked, "Don't you want to say anything? He even impersonated you, aren't you angry?"

Gu Huaiye coughed awkwardly twice, then pulled Gu Chengyan back to sit on the sofa, patted his shoulder, and pretended to be magnanimous.

"Alright, alright, brother, Xizhou has his reasons. He didn't do it on purpose. We're all brothers, let's talk this out. Don't be so harsh."

Gu Chengyan was surprised that Gu Huaiye was so magnanimous this time, and he couldn't continue to lose his temper.

Sitting across from him, Gu Xizhou knew he had made a mistake. He wanted to get closer to Su Yutang using his real identity, but the thought of being able to be close to her and even kiss her by using his brothers' identities made him unable to control himself.

He slowly stood up, bowed deeply to Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye, and when he straightened up, his eyes were full of guilt.

"I'm sorry! I know this is very unfair to you, but I just couldn't control my heart. I will go to Tangtang in person to explain everything and beg for her forgiveness."

Fearing that his past impersonation of his brother to get close to Su Yutang would also be exposed, Gu Huaiyi quickly walked up to Gu Xizhou and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Xizhou, this matter ends here. Don't worry, we won't tell Tangtang that you impersonated us, and you don't need to apologize or explain to her."

He paused and added, "This matter should remain a secret between the three of us. Don't mention it to anyone. This is better for you, for us, and for Tangtang! Think about it, if Tangtang knew that you approached her using our identities, she would feel ashamed, embarrassed, and even hurt, given her personality. So, you absolutely must not say anything."

Gu Chengyan quickly considered the matter in his mind; these words did indeed make some sense.

Moreover, west Zhou may not know that Su Yutang loves Xi Zhou, otherwise west Zhou would not have impersonated her and Huai Ye.

If the truth is really revealed, it would be like gaining a rival for love for no reason. Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage for nothing?

Su Yutang already had many suitors, and he didn't want to add any more variables, nor did he want to put himself in a passive position.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengyan immediately agreed.

"Huaiye is right. This is something that only the three of us should know. You absolutely cannot let Tangtang know, and we will help you keep this secret."

The naive Gu Xizhou thought his two older brothers were genuinely looking out for him and looked at them with heartfelt gratitude.

"Thank you both for keeping this a secret."

Faced with his sincere and unadulterated thanks, Gu Chengyan and Huaiye both felt a pang of guilt and unease.

They weren't genuinely concerned for him; they were just each pursuing their own agendas.

The two dared not look him in the eye for a moment, and could only give a mumbled response.

Having survived a near-death experience and been reborn, Su Yutang is currently enjoying a sumptuous dinner at home with her younger brother Su Yi'an and her best friend Shen Jibai.

She had previously called her parents, but did not mention a word about her near-death experience in the bombing.

She didn't want her family and best friends to worry about her, so she could only silently suppress all her fear and lingering anxiety.

Su Yutang raised her glass, her eyes gleaming with relief, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Shen Jibai was filled with worry.

"Tangtang, this liquor is too strong. How about we switch to something weaker, or have a soft drink?"

Su Yutang shook her head, her tone somewhat cheerful: "I'm happy today, so I'm going to drink the strongest liquor. Aren't you my best friend? If so, don't stop me."

Su Yi'an, who was standing next to her, raised his glass and clinked it with hers, his eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude.

"Sister, seeing you so happy today makes me happy too. Thank you so much for always supporting and protecting me. Having you as my sister and Brother Shen in this life is truly a blessing I've accumulated over many lifetimes. When I make something of myself in the future, I will never forget your kindness!"

Shen Jibai stopped trying to dissuade them, and simply poured himself a full glass of strong liquor, raising his hand to clink it heavily with the two siblings.

"Alright! I'll drink as much as you want today!"

The three of them drank and chatted.

They talked about everything from the creation myth of Pangu to the creation of humankind by Nuwa, then to the five thousand years of Chinese history, and finally to celebrity gossip in the entertainment industry. Laughter filled the air, and the atmosphere was lively and relaxed.

for a long time.

Su Yi'an was so drunk that he slumped onto the dining table, mumbling incoherently, "Drink... I want to drink more..."

Su Yutang patted his head and chuckled drunkenly, "You're so useless, you get this drunk from such a little alcohol."

Shen Jibai had a much higher alcohol tolerance, but he was only slightly tipsy, with a faint flush on his cheeks.

He got up, walked to Su Yutang's side, and picked her up in his arms.

"Tangtang, stop drinking. Let me help you back to your room to rest."

Su Yutang leaned against him, her eyes glazed over, her vision starting to blur.

"Ji Bai, I see two of you~"

Shen Jibai chuckled softly, his voice hoarse from the alcohol: "That's because you've had too much to drink. There's only one me in this world."

He entered the bedroom, gently placed Su Yutang on the bed, and was about to leave when Su Yutang reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him down sharply.

The distance between the two closed instantly, and their breaths mingled.

Su Yutang looked at him, feeling dizzy, and said softly, "Ji Bai, don't go, sleep with me!"

Shen Jibai wished he could sleep with her every minute of every day, so he was naturally happy to hear her request.

He gently stroked her flushed face, his tone doting and tender: "Okay, I'll sleep with you tonight! But first, I need to help Yi'an back to her room and settle her in, then tidy up the dining table and kitchen, and then give you a foot bath. Be a good girl and wait for me, okay?"

Su Yutang wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to let go.

"Ji Bai, you're so good to me, so good that I don't want to leave you. What if you find a new best friend and don't want me anymore?"

"fool!"

Shen Jibai's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but respond.

"How could I, Shen Jibai, possibly not want you? There has never been anyone else in my heart. From beginning to end, there has only been you. You are my one and only!"

These heartfelt words, hidden deep in my heart, were spoken out at this moment.

But Su Yutang, who was drunk, let everything go in one ear and out the other, and didn't take it to heart at all.

She suddenly laughed, brought her lips close to his ear, and whispered softly, her breath reeking of alcohol.

"Actually, I really like your body, especially your firm pectoral muscles, and that... again... again..."
