Gu Xingze didn't dare leave his office all morning, afraid of seeing what he feared.

Assistant Li knocked on the door. "Boss, Madam is here. She said she's bringing you lunch."

His eyes lit up. "Where is she? Why don't you just have her come up to me?"

Su Jin appeared. "Here she is."

She looked up, glancing here and there.

She had never been to Gu Xingze's company before. In the past, when she had a mission to win him over, she had thought of using the excuse of bringing him food to get closer to him.

But I always oversleep...

The plan was thus abandoned.

Sleeping in late ruined her dream of conquering the world.

She brought the lunchbox up and placed it on the desk.

"For you."

Gu Xingze was so moved he almost cried. "Wife, you're so good to me."

He despised his own wavering; how could he doubt his wife's sincerity?

I'm disgusting myself.

Su Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. She hadn't cooked the meal herself; she had ordered it from a restaurant and then put it in a lunchbox.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Didn't you complain about a stomachache yesterday?"

Gu Xingze smiled sweetly, "You still remember? My wife is stubborn but soft-hearted, her heart is as soft as tofu."

Su Jin shuddered dramatically. How could he just blurt out such cheesy words?

She would never tell, even if you beat her to death.

Gu Xingze opened the lunchbox lid, inside were braised prawns, braised pork ribs, and braised eggplant.

He exclaimed sincerely, "Baby, you're so amazing! Your cooking skills have improved so quickly, you're almost as good as me!"

Su Jin propped her head up and looked at the sky. "Of course, I learn everything very quickly, unlike you, who are so slow."

To him, those words sounded like flirting.

"Yes, my husband is too stupid. He's not as smart as you. I would have been tricked if it weren't for you."

Su Jin felt something was wrong. Why did everything she said seem to have a different meaning to him?

She stared at the glistening shrimp in the lunchbox. "I want to eat it."

When Gu Xingze met her longing gaze, how could he refuse?

"Okay, wait for me."

I washed my hands and peeled shrimp for her.

Slender fingers pried off the shrimp heads, leaving the sauce stuck to their neatly trimmed nails.

"Okay, open your mouth, ah."

Su Jin shrank back, "Aren't there chopsticks? I can eat by myself."

Gu Xingze frowned stubbornly, "No, I want to feed you."

Su Jin had no choice but to open her mouth and eat it. The shrimp meat was springy and the sauce was flavorful.

She squinted her eyes contentedly, "More."

So she, the person who brought the food, ate all the dishes herself.

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Jin patted her bottom and left, as if she had only loved him briefly.

Gu Xingze finished his white rice with the vegetarian dishes and then reverently closed the lunchbox.

He spent the whole afternoon checking the clock, making sure to leave work on time.

The employees breathed a sigh of relief; they had heard that the boss was in a bad mood today, and it seemed they had escaped a disaster.

Just as Gu Xingze reached the car, a piercing scream rang out, "Son!"

He looked up and saw it was Gu's mother.

In an instant, Gu Xingze's mind went blank, his brain felt empty, and his heart felt as heavy as if it were filled with hot lead.

It wasn't because I saw Gu's mother, but because I saw the numbers above her head.

59 in green.

It was very striking; the number seemed to slap him in the face.

Seeing him standing there like a piece of wood, Gu's mother disregarded etiquette and went up to him, hugging him and crying, "Son, please save your mother. I won't do that again. I don't want to live with your father anymore."

Gu Xingze seemed not to hear what she said at all, and opened the car door and got in.

Gu's mother chased after the car, shouting something.

The car drove some distance before stopping on the side of the road.

Gu Xingze slumped over the steering wheel, his hands shaking so badly he couldn't drive.

"So...that's how it is."

He smiled, but his eyes were crying.

Even 0827 couldn't stand it anymore, "Sigh, we don't use a ten-point system at all, it's all about the hundred-point system, okay?"

Gu Xingze didn't give it a chance to say anything.

He laughed and cried at the same time, his suppressed sobs filling the entire carriage. Surprisingly, he wiped away his tears, regained his composure, and looked up to question it, "Who sent you?"

0827 slowly revealed a question mark.

Brother, your mood changed way too quickly.

Gu Xingze forced himself to remain calm, "How could this data possibly be true?"

0827 panicked, "You can doubt my product specifications, but you can't doubt my data!"

It carefully observed Gu Xingze's face, which was pale and even his lips were bloodless.

It mocked, "You believed it all along, you're so stubborn."

Gu Xingze forced himself to remain calm; he was like a taut string that could snap at any moment.

Why should I believe you?

0827 felt this person was being quite unreasonable. "No? You believed it so much this morning, why don't you believe it now?"

So he won't believe you if things don't go his way?

Gu Xingze took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant, Li, asking him to come and drive.

He is in a condition where he really cannot drive anymore; it's too dangerous. Su Jin is still waiting for him at home.

0827 had an idea and said, "Since you don't believe me, then I'll tell you a few things about your wife."

Do you know why she went into the entertainment industry?

Gu Xingze remained unusually calm. "Shen Yanxiu."

0827 exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! You actually knew that?"

It seems that this reason for sowing discord is no longer valid; Gu Xingze is far more than any man 0827 had ever imagined.
