After sitting down on the couch, Gu Nianshen took his phone out of his pocket to find that the call was from Gu Nianjia.

  His immediate reaction was to realize that Gu Nianjia was still up playing games at this hour.

  “What is it?” Gu Nianshen asked with a frown.

  “Brother,” Gu Nianjia said affectionately. She sounded as if she had just woken up from a dream. “Are you up already?”


  “What do you want?” Gu Nianshen asked.

  Gu Nianjia had never given him a call this early.

  Although he was slightly annoyed, he was more worried that something might have happened to her.

  Gu Nianjia ignored his question. “I didn’t dare tell Mother. That’s why I had decided to ask Lin Yiqian to come over and pretend that she was my only family member. However, Bald Wang had actually secretly summoned our youngest uncle. That’s why I had asked Lin Yiqian to go home. Anyway, I suddenly thought of asking you if she has arrived home.”


  Gu Nianshen was stunned by what he heard. “You…… You asked your sister-in-law to come over?”


  “Yeah,” Gu Nianjia replied. After a moment, she suddenly realized something was amiss and sounded much more alert. “What do you mean by coming over? Where are you now, Brother?”


  The only thought on Gu Nianshen’s mind right now was that Lin Yiqian had not come here with Song Changlin.

  As he turned his head around to the bedroom, he placed one hand against his forehead. Even after a while, he still could not calm his heart down.

  “Why aren’t you speaking?” Gu Nianjia asked curiously after a moment of silence.

  She had successfully caused Gu Nianshen to shift the blame onto her. “What right do you have to order my wife around?” Gu Nianshen roared.

  However, he then quickly looked in the direction of the bedroom for fear of waking up Lin Yiqian.

  “Our youngest uncle is so busy and you know how strict Mother can be. I didn’t call him because I was afraid that Mother might yell at him. I also knew that you wouldn’t help me if I called you. That’s why I had no choice but to ask Lin Yiqian for help. It’s your fault for not being concerned about me.”


  After listening to her complaint, Gu Nianshen felt annoyed but helpless at the same time.

  “You shall not ask my wife to do anything next time. If Zhang Jingyu can’t solve the problem, you will speak to me directly. You are also not allowed to turn to Song Changlin anymore.” He warned through gritted teeth.

  After finishing each sentence, Gu Nianshen would look in the direction of the bedroom.

  Although Gu Nianjia did not know what was going on, she did not dare to challenge what Gu Nianshen said right then. “Oh…… I understand,” she replied obediently.

  Gu Nianshen was worried that he might lose his temper if he continued to speak.

  Therefore, he immediately hung up.

  After putting his phone down, he began tiptoeing into the bedroom.

  “Ehh……”


  As soon as he got close to the door of the bedroom, he suddenly saw Lin Yiqian standing next to it. He stopped walking out of guilt.

  Lin Yiqian was still wearing the same shirt with red and white stripes, one that she had changed into after returning home from the hospital. As Gu Nianshen had forcefully torn away a few of the buttons, a large section of skin around her neck was revealed.

  There were lovebites all over her collar bone. Gu Nianshen awkwardly shifted his gaze away as he noticed them.

  He felt a little clueless about how to deal with this situation.

  Lin Yiqian continued to stare at him with a blank expression on her face. “Can I go back now?”


  Gu Nianshen still struggled to apologize even though the words were only hanging by his lips.

  That was because it had only been two days since he last apologized to her.

  Without saying a word, Gu Nianshen reached for her hand. “Take a shower now. We’ll eat and then go home.”


  However, as soon as his hand touched Lin Yiqian’s hand, she pushed him away.

  “If there’s nothing else you need, can I go back now?” Lin Yiqian looked at him coldly.
