On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

"The drug's effects will last at least two and a half hours." Si Yehan replied as he put on his nightgown.

"Okay." Gu Wan's voice was so dry that it didn't sound like his own.

Si Yehan turned around and helped Gu Wan adjust Mu Rui's sleeping position. "Two hours or more is enough for us to set up the scene."

The word "live" sent a stab through Gu Wan's heart. She watched Si Yehan casually throw his nightgown over him, the belt loosely tied around his waist, exposing a large expanse of his chest. This was the man she loved most, and now he was pretending to spend the night with another woman.

Thinking of this, Gu Wan became more and more angry, and slapped Mu Rui, who was still sleeping on the bed.

Si Yehan felt incredibly happy when he saw Gu Wan getting jealous of him.

He glanced around the arranged "scene" and nodded with satisfaction. When he turned to Gu Wan, he caught a glimpse of pain in her eyes.

"Wanwan, I think Mu Rui will wake up soon. How about I take you down first? Otherwise..."

"I know!" Gu Wan interrupted him, his voice sharper than expected, "Remember to observe male ethics."

Si Yehan's lips curled up slightly, and he reached out to caress her cheek. "Don't worry, you're the only woman I'll ever have in my life." He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. The warmth of his breath made Gu Wan's eyes warm.

"Okay, then be careful and don't fall into her trap again." She tried to make her voice sound calm.

"I'll remember that, my dear wife." Si Yehan's address made her heart skip a beat.

Gu Wan took one last look at the room before leaving—the messy sheets, the scattered clothes, and the woman in the bed wearing the pajamas she had changed herself into. All of this was like a thorn, piercing deep into her heart.

After Si Yehan sent Gu Wan out, he just lay down on the bed when his cell phone rang sharply. Si Yehan immediately closed his eyes.

"Hello?" Murray's hoarse voice came, followed by a cry of surprise, "Grandpa!"

"Look at what you did last night, why don't you come back quickly!"

Mu Rui felt her face burning, but she remained bewildered by her grandfather's inexplicable rage. "Grandpa, I..." Only then did she notice Si Yehan lying beside her. Her expression instantly became complicated, a mixture of shock and pride. "Grandpa, I have something else to do. Let's not talk for now," she said, and hung up.

Her eyes were fixed on Si Yehan's abdominal muscles, her mouth almost watering. Uncontrollably, her body slowly approached him. Just as she reached out to touch his pecs, her wrist was grabbed by a powerful force.

Si Yehan slowly opened his eyes. "What's wrong? Is Mr. Mu feeling unsatisfied?"

"Last night we...really?"

Si Yehan shook off Mu Rui's hand. "What? You want to shirk your responsibility?" He stood up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the floor, and put them on.

Mu Rui watched Si Yehan getting dressed, her saliva dripping with greed. She quietly blamed herself, "I should have drunk less last night... I can't remember anything now. What a waste of food!"

Just as Mu Rui was immersed in the fantasy of possessing Si Yehan, Gu Wan rushed in with two burly bodyguards. The game had just begun.

"Si Yehan! What have you done behind my back?!"

The "catching an adulterer" scene was added by Gu Wan on the spur of the moment, and Si Yehan was unaware of it.

He was stunned at first, then he said: "Wanwan, it's not what you think. Let me explain..."

"You two go hold the young master down for me, and leave the woman on the bed to me." Gu Wan said as she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Mu Rui viciously like a shrew.

At the same time, after getting Si Shao's eye contact, the two bodyguards used their acting skills to capture Si Shao.

Mu Rui didn't have time to react at all. Gu Wan grabbed her already short hair and she screamed in pain.

Gu went in the evening and slapped her, "I told you not to seduce my husband!" Then he slapped her again with his backhand, "You bitch, slut..."

Gu Wan's behavior startled both Si Yehan and the security guard. Normally, she seemed like a harmless little white rabbit, but now she was so aggressive and fierce.

It really proves the old saying that "even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered."

Seeing this, Si Yehan instinctively covered his face. The security guards cast sympathetic glances at him. He thought: So this is how Hai City's billionaire lives his life every day.

Gu Wan slapped her every time she cursed, and he slapped her seven or eight times in total.

Just as Mu Rui was about to strike back, Si Yehan immediately stepped forward and pretended to stop Gu Wan. "Wan Wan, don't be like this. Let me explain." He put his arm around Gu Wan's waist and turned her back, just enough to avoid Mu Rui's slap.

Gu Wan secretly agreed, "Si Yehan, don't think you're safe now. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Si Yehan gave the bodyguard a look, "What's so good about this? Why don't you take your wife back?"

"Okay, Mr. Si!"

Then the two bodyguards forcibly carried the cursing Gu Wan out.

Si Yehan said, "Don't forget what you promised me," and then pretended to chase after him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of something heavy falling in the hotel room, followed by Murray's angry curses.

When Si Yehan chased downstairs to find Gu Wan, who had "left in anger," she had already adjusted her expression. This was a dangerous game, and they had to win.

The bluestone floor of the ancestral hall was icy cold. Mu Rui had been kneeling all day, her knees numb. She looked up at the ancestral tablets, the candlelight flickering in the darkness, illuminating her stubborn face.

"Why on earth..." She bit her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously scratching the muscles of her thigh.

The clothes she was wearing were still the same ones she had worn when her grandfather urgently called her home this morning, without even giving her time to change.

There were footsteps outside the ancestral hall, and Mu Rui straightened his back immediately, thinking it was Grandpa coming. But Xiao Cui's round face peeked out from the crack of the door. She looked around and tiptoed in.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Xiao Cui took out an oil-paper bag from her bosom, and the aroma of the steaming meat bun immediately filled the ancestral hall.

Mu Rui didn't care about her image. She grabbed the bun and stuffed it into her mouth. She asked vaguely, "Why is Grandpa so angry?"

Xiao Cui squatted down and lowered her voice, "Someone from the Si family came last night. To be more precise, it was Si Yehan's assistant, Special Assistant Wu. He and the old man talked for a long time in the study. When he left, the old man's face was ashen. He immediately called you, but you..."

Murui frowned and recalled: "Last night?" She suddenly remembered something and her face changed, "My phone is on silent..."

"Special Assistant Wu came again this morning," Xiao Cui continued, "with a surveillance video. After watching it, the old man smashed his most beloved purple clay teapot..."

"What video?" Murray stopped chewing, his throat suddenly tight.

"I heard it was... a video of you and Mr. Si entering the hotel."

Mu Rui scoffed, "That's it? Who in Hai City doesn't know that I've been pursuing Si Yehan for over twenty years? Grandpa knows that, too!"

Xiao Cui shook her head: "It doesn't seem that simple. After watching the video, the old man was forced to reach some kind of deal with Assistant Wu..."
