"Nan Yan, your husband is already lying beside someone else's pillow, and you can still sleep? Aren't you afraid of losing your position as Mrs. Lu?" In the bedroom of the villa. Qin Haiyun's frustration was palpable, and Gu Nanyan, bleary-eyed, asked, "Mom, which little vixen is it tonight?" Married for two years, with women lining up outside and her mother-in-law asking her to catch her husband in the act every now and then, Gu Nanyan had long grown accustomed to it. But she always came up empty-handed, never catching any solid evidence of Lu Beicheng's infidelity. "I'll send you the hotel room number via WeChat, you go and bring him back," Qin Haiyun said, pausing before adding, "You child, if you keep this indifferent attitude towards Beicheng, I won't be able to help you anymore." Indifferent? She needed Lu Beicheng to give her a chance to care first! In the past two years, he had come home only a handful of times, and every meeting between them ended in discord. He avoided her as if she were the plague, so where could she afford to care? However, it wasn't always like this between her and Lu Beicheng. He used to be very kind to her, very accommodating, but after that one incident, they became like this. She closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. Gu Nanyan propped herself up, languidly saying, "Mom, I got it, send me the address!" — Half an hour later. Gu Nanyan was getting the room key from the hotel manager when Zhou Bei arrived. The two reached the suite door. As Gu Nanyan was about to open the door with the key card, her heart, which had been calm before, now felt somewhat uneasy. Although she was used to it, it was still her husband being taken by someone else, and it was understandable to feel uncomfortable. The door opened, and a voice came from inside: "Four strips."

"..." The two of them. Weren't they supposed to be catching someone in an affair? Why are they playing mahjong? The young girls sitting beside the few men still made people uncomfortable. Especially Lu Beicheng, with a cigarette in his mouth, his right hand touching the mahjong tiles, and Ye Chujiao clinging to his arm, sitting beside him. The men at the card table were all the pride of City A, the most outstanding men. Lu Beicheng was still the most eye-catching, with very handsome facial features, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his hair casually slicked back into a pompadour. He exuded a scholarly air with a hint of ruffian charm, astonishing everyone every time they saw him. His good looks were such that not to mention paying for women, many women would be willing to spend their entire fortunes for him. After Lu Beicheng took over the Lu Corporation, it directly became the top dog in City A within two years, and everyone had to give way when they saw him. If he were still like before, if that incident hadn't happened, Lu Beicheng would be the most perfect husband in the world. Lu Beicheng was good in every way, it's just too bad he wasn't good to her. Facing the door, Su Mubai saw Gu Nanyan coming and was first surprised, then greeted her with a smile: "Third..." He didn't get to say the word 'sister-in-law' when Lu Beicheng gave him a cold look, and Su Mubai quickly changed his tune: "Sister Yan, why did you come over?" Gu Nanyan, with a grand smile, walked in unhurriedly: "I missed you! Came to see how you're doing." "Don't! Third..." Sneaking a glance at Lu Beicheng, Su Mubai said: "Sister Yan, I can't afford to play along with that joke of yours."

Without a doubt, they were here to arrest his third brother. Over the past two years, they had all gotten used to it. Leaving such a beautiful wife at home without any concern, what on earth was his third brother thinking? Gu Nanyan was wearing a knee-length V-neck little black dress tonight, with her long black curly hair falling like a waterfall, each strand exuding an irresistible aura. As she gracefully approached the mahjong table, the girls in the room were already staring in dumbfounded admiration, completely captivated by her beauty. Seeing that Gu Nanyan had arrived, Ye Chu let go of Lu Beicheng's arm and stood up to greet her: 'Nanyan.' Ignoring her, Gu Nanyan glanced at Lu Beicheng's arm, and Ye Chu quickly explained: 'Beicheng just won a hand, I was happy for him, so...' Before Ye Chu could finish speaking, Gu Nanyan raised her hand and pinched her wrist: 'Ye Chu, if you ever touch him again, I will chop off your hand.' 'Nanyan, listen to me...' Ye Chu frowned tightly: 'Nanyan, it hurts, you're squeezing too hard.' As Ye Chu cried out, Lu Beicheng looked at Gu Nanyan coldly: 'If you don't let her go, I'll chop off your hand first.' At this moment, Ye Chu took the opportunity to break free from Gu Nanyan, stepping back a couple of small steps, rubbing her wrist, with tears in her eyes, she said: 'Beicheng.' Lu Beicheng turned his face to look at her, his expression unchanged: 'Why are you afraid of her? Sit down.' The girl beside Su Mubai, sensing the tense atmosphere, curiously asked Lu Beicheng: 'Mr. Cheng, who is this lady?' Smoke wafted from around the golden-rimmed glasses on his nose as Lu Beicheng elegantly tapped the ash off his cigarette: 'Don't know her.'

As the words fell, Su Mubai and the others were all stunned. Not know? Clearly they did, and had known each other for 23 years. This year, Gu Nanyan was exactly 23 years old. Beside the mahjong table, Gu Nanyan was both annoyed and amused. Even so, she still walked up to Lu Beicheng and gently reminded, 'It's half past two, it's time to call it a night.' With a cigarette in his right hand, Lu Beicheng remained very refined: 'Self-drawn thirteen orphans.' As if Gu Nanyan were thin air. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ye Chu stepped forward to smooth things over: 'Nanyan, men love to play, it's in their nature, and Mubai and the others are here too, actually you don't need to worry too much.' Gu Nanyan said with a laugh, 'Why don't you go get married first, and lend me your husband to play with for a while.' '...' Ye Chu was left speechless by her retort. After saying that, Gu Nanyan turned and walked up to Su Mubai, tapped the mahjong table with her fingers, and said indifferently, 'Mubai, you get up.' Su Mubai looked up, 'Sister Yan, do you want to play too?' Beside her, Zhou Bei, who had come with Gu Nanyan to catch someone in the act and had been silent, suddenly laughed and said, 'What's the matter? Only men can play, women can't?' With a handsome short haircut and a Japanese-style floral shirt, one might mistake her for a man, thinking she was Gu Nanyan's lover. Having said that, she then looked at Gu Nanyan: 'Nanyan, I heard that the boys at this hotel club are quite nice, shall I call a couple for you?' Pulling out the chair that Su Mubai had vacated, Gu Nanyan sat down as if nothing had happened: 'Sure!' After saying that, Lu Beicheng's gaze finally landed on her face. Gu Nanyan ignored it outright and continued to play Su Mubai's tiles: 'Three cylinders.'

In a short while, when several handsome young men stood in the suite's living room, Zhou Bei instructed the tallest and most handsome boy to go and keep Gu Nanyan company. The boy, having accepted the task, sat down beside Gu Nanyan with a beaming smile: 'Sister, I'm lucky, I'll sit next to you, and you'll definitely win money.' Gu Nanyan laughed: 'If I win money, I'll give you a big red envelope.' Sure enough, after a few rounds of mahjong, it was Gu Nanyan who kept winning. The worst part was that she wouldn't win when others played, but as soon as Lu Beicheng played a card, she would make sure to let him lose. So, one could imagine the look on Lu Beicheng's face at this moment. Then, after Gu Nanyan drew another thirteen orphans, Lu Beicheng slammed his mahjong tiles onto the table. His face was so cold it almost froze the air around him. Gu Nanyan didn't take it to heart, pushing the tiles into the shuffler while teasing with a smile: 'Young Master Lu can't handle losing, huh? If you can't handle it, just go home and sleep!' When Gu Nanyan suggested he go to sleep, Lu Beicheng laughed: 'Want to sleep with me? Gu Nanyan, you're dreaming.' After Lu Beicheng spoke, Ye Chu glanced at Gu Nanyan cautiously, wondering if they would get a divorce this time. Ignoring Lu Beicheng's mockery, Gu Nanyan handed the money she won to the boy beside her: 'This is your red envelope from sister.' The cash that Gu Nanyan stuffed over, the boy excitedly accepted: 'Thank you, sister.' In the room, the eyes of the other girls lit up instantly, filled with envy. After receiving Gu Nanyan's money, the boy suddenly blushed and said to Gu Nanyan: 'Sister, I can make you even happier, how about I go with you tonight!' After the boy said this, Su Mubai's cigarette dropped to the ground with a snap, and the others also looked up. For a moment, the room became exceptionally quiet, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the floor.
