Unable to deal with it using conventional methods, 0827 had a sudden inspiration and cleared his throat.

"Yes, she did enter the entertainment industry for Shen Yanxiu, but not for any other reason than that she also has a system. Her mission is to win over Shen Yanxiu, or she will die."

0827 thought that since he wouldn't leave Su Jin because of her changing heart, he would definitely leave for Su Jin's safety.

As expected, Gu Xingze's outward composure showed signs of cracking in an instant.

"...What you're saying is absurd. My wife will die if she doesn't try to seduce Shen Yanxiu? Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

0827's voice was slow, like a devil's whisper, "Of course it's true, otherwise think about why your wife has been acting so strangely?"

"She married you because she thought you were someone she was trying to seduce, nothing more."

A heavy blow.

Gu Xingze quickly connected all the events and Su Jin's various changes in behavior.

It turns out that even the wonderful first encounter he imagined hadn't moved her at all.

"Ha... So what am I then?"

Gu Xingze chuckled softly, not just mocking himself, but also suppressing his extreme pain.

...

The door opened, and Bread was the first to rush out to greet them.

Su Jin raised her head slightly. "You're back."

"Um."

Gu Xingze was unusually taciturn. He silently tidied his shoes and clothes and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Looking at her disheveled appearance in the mirror, she scooped up a handful of cool water to wash away her tears.

Even so, he still didn't want her to see him like this.
