After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

You can know a person's face but not their heart. How could such a dignified and mature woman have such thoughts?

"How about it?"

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Su Mei took the initiative to ask, "Wasn't it amazing?"

"That's really explosive," Lu Chen sighed. "After you said that, how am I supposed to face Wei Ping in the future?"

Su Mei smiled and pinched his cheek: "Just face it the way you usually do. In this world, who doesn't live with a mask on?"

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, even he himself had secrets he couldn't tell others.

Su Mei then looked at Lu Chen with a pitying gaze, a look that made Lu Chen feel very uncomfortable.

Why are you looking at me like that... as if I'm about to become some kind of victim...

Su Mei looked away, touched Lu Chen's fair face, and said, "Who knows, baby... What if Wei Ping has some bad habits? Wouldn't you be in trouble?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Probably not... Could it be a steel wool pad?"

"puff!"

Su Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, I'm just guessing. Wei Ping doesn't have any feelings for you for the time being, so you're safe."

Lu Chen was speechless. What did he mean by "temporarily safe"? Did he really have to face a steel wool pad in the future?

After spending some time with Su Mei, Lu Chen checked the time, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave work.

I didn't see Yang Xueli on my way out of the company.

When Lu Chen returned home, he opened the door and saw Gu Nanyin wearing an apron and cooking.

Lu Chen's eyes widened as he walked over: "What the hell? What did I just see? Honey, your second personality has awakened?"

Gu Nanyin looked up at him, about to answer, when suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the wok on the stove burst into flames!

"what!!!"

Gu Nanyin, who had been holding on steadily just moments before, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She threw down the shovel in her hand and, like a startled deer, hopped a few steps into Lu Chen's arms.

"Uh!"

Lu Chen carried her and quickly went to the stove, putting the lid on the pot... The flames immediately went out.

"It's alright now."

Lu Chen patted her shoulder and said something, and Gu Nanyin popped her head out from behind Lu Chen.

"Are you alright, honey...? You're not going to burn the house down, are you?"

How could that be?

Lu Chen smiled. The longer Gu Nanyin spent with him, the more coquettish her tone became, and sometimes she even showed a cute expression.

I wish I could stay cute like Su Xinyu and Yu Lili forever.

However, Lu Chen only thought about this idea. Gu Nanyin's greatest charm was the contrast between her aloofness and cuteness.

If she were to become perpetually lively, she wouldn't be herself.

Lu Chen went to the kitchen, reopened the pot lid and took a look. He saw a large black, burnt mess inside, and he didn't know what it was. It also smelled burnt.

"Honey, what kind of meal did you make?"

Gu Nanyin touched her face and replied with a smile, "Stir-fried shrimp~ Can't you tell?"

What?

Lu Chen's eyes widened. Was this huge, dark lump of stuff in front of him just stir-fried shrimp? Are you kidding me?

"Ahem! Honey, you did a great job. This stir-fried shrimp, uh! Not bad."

Lu Chen had nothing more to say but praise him like this.

However, Gu Nanyin was not stupid, and she could naturally see that Lu Chen was just trying to make her happy.

"Honey," she said apologetically, "I didn't mean to make it like this. I just followed the instructions online, and the steps were the same, but this is how it turned out."

Lu Chen didn't mind, picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, gently kissing her forehead.

"You should just stay home and rest. Don't worry about anything else."

Gu Nanyin blushed deeply after being kissed by him, her voice barely audible.

"Okay, honey, but I really can't stay still sometimes. I'm planning to go out for a walk tomorrow."

"That works too."

Lu Chen nodded: "Anyway, it's just about going out to relax, get a manicure, go shopping and buy clothes, right?"

When girls go out, isn't it all about eating, drinking, and having fun? Gu Nanyin is a girl too, so naturally she wouldn't be exempt from these things.

However, the next second, Gu Nanyin's thoughts drifted over.

Tomorrow I'm going to find Su Xinyu and see what tricks this girl has up her sleeve to make you so infatuated.

In a flash, Lu Chen's spirits lifted. What? You're going to find Su Xinyu? Did I hear that right? So this is what we meant by going out for a stroll.

"Uh! Honey, where are you going?"

Such things couldn't be said openly, so Lu Chen quickly tried to probe indirectly.

Gu Nanyin smiled mysteriously: "Well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. It's just visiting my best friend's house..."

Is he really just visiting? Or is he going to cause trouble...?

Lu Chen looked somewhat nervous; he didn't know what to say or how to stop Gu Nanyin.

Just as Lu Chen was at a loss, Gu Nanyin took the initiative to ask, "Honey, if I were to fight with Su Xinyu, who would you side with?"

Without even thinking, Lu Chen immediately used his "scumbag" skills, saying, "Of course I'll help you, is there even a question?"

Just answer this kind of question without thinking; only an idiot would answer it wrong.

"Row."

Gu Nanyin nodded: "With your words, I am completely relieved. As expected, you are my husband. No matter what, you will always stand by me."

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Chen asked, pretending not to understand. "You're talking strangely."

Chapter 80 First Meeting

"It's okay, I'm talking normally." Gu Nanyin chuckled. "It's getting late, why don't you hold me while we sleep? You have to go to the company early tomorrow morning."

Lu Chen had no choice but to simply say, "Uh, wife, you mustn't do anything foolish!"

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He could clearly hear what Gu Nanyin was thinking, but he just didn't know how to bring it up, or how to dispel her bad thoughts through a subtle approach...

Ugh!

I still have a long way to go in understanding women; my skills are still far from sufficient.

Now we can only pray that Gu Nanyin is an emotionally stable person, and that Su Xinyu doesn't act too much.

The next morning, Lu Chen went straight to the company, while Gu Nanyin slept until noon.

After getting up, she took a shower, got dressed, and changed her clothes. She finally chose a black sleeveless knit top, paired with athletic pants, and put on sunglasses...

In an instant, Gu Nanyin exuded domineering aura, her entire presence commanding attention.

After selecting a Land Rover from the garage, Gu Nanyin drove to the villa area.

After stopping at the entrance of 003, Gu Nanyin looked at the garden path in front of her.

About twenty minutes later, a Maybach pulled up.

Gu Nanyin's gaze sharpened behind her sunglasses as she glanced at the license plate.

Haha, no wonder it's the Su family, even their license plates are all leopard numbers.

However, she was not afraid. Although the Su family was a powerful force, they did not prey on people. Moreover, her main purpose in coming here was to have a conversation with Su Xinyu.

The Maybach slowly stopped in front of the Land Rover, turned on its hazard lights, and shook a few times.

Gu Nanyin didn't move aside; she simply opened the car door and got out.

She went straight to the driver's seat of the Maybach and knocked on the window.

However, the next second, the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Su Xinyu's face.

"Who are you? Gu Nanyin?"

Su Xinyu looked at Gu Nanyin and felt a strange, indescribable feeling, as if she were a little guilty.

After all, if she insisted on talking about her relationship with Lu Chen, she was still just an outsider.

"That's impressive."

Gu Nanyin took off her sunglasses and replied, "You can even recognize this."

Su Xinyu opened the door and got out of the car, first speaking to the driver.

"Sister Ling, please drive the car in first. I'll chat with this friend for a while."

After the driver replied "Understood," he drove inside.

Su Xinyu came to Gu Nanyin.

The two of them looked each other up and down.

A full half minute later, Su Xinyu said, "You are very beautiful, a real beauty."

Gu Nanyin nodded: "You are the same, truly a lady of a prominent family."

The two of them started their meeting with a round of mutual flattery.

At this moment, Gu Nanyin pointed to the garden not far away and said, "Shall we go for a walk over there?"

"Okay."

Su Xinyu smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also have some questions for you."

The two strolled through the public garden within the villa area.

Gu Nanyin spoke first: "Lu Chen is my husband..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyu's heart skipped a beat. Good heavens! They're trying to solidify their identity right off the bat. It seems things aren't so simple.

However, she still answered calmly, "I know, but I like him very much too."

Gu Nanyin said, "You must also know that my marriage with Lu Chen was just a formality at first, right?"

Su Xinyu nodded, but did not say anything.

Gu Nanyin continued, "At the beginning, when I married Lu Chen, the first thing I was attracted to was his appearance. I thought that when I, Gu Nanyin, got married, my husband had to be a top-tier handsome man."

“After we got married, we had no feelings for each other, and I didn’t pay much attention to him… But two weeks later, I suddenly realized that he was a really nice person.”

Su Xinyu's lips twitched, but she still replied, "Gu Nanyin, I'm not here to hear about your happy life together, so what exactly do you want?"

Gu Nanyin glanced at Su Xinyu's school uniform, then looked at the scenery not far away.

Do you want to join us?

Such a short sentence left Su Xinyu stunned, thinking she had misheard.

"What? Join what? Say it again, I don't understand."

Gu Nanyin's expression remained calm. Upon hearing this, she repeated herself, "Join us, the three of us together."

I go……

Su Xinyu understood now, and she looked at Gu Nanyin in disbelief.

It's hard to believe I could hear these words from her.

The previous investigation into Gu Nanyin concluded that she was an ice queen, an absolutely rational person.

However, how could this intelligence be false?

"I, I, uh..."

The turn of events was so sudden that Su Xinyu was caught off guard and momentarily speechless.

Gu Nanyin continued, "Want to come? Let's live together as a family."
