"You've been so happy every day since you came back. I was just chatting with Jing Yuan about collaborating on a new project, and coincidentally, I ran into a few old friends. They all envied me for being so lucky to have such an outstanding and well-behaved daughter like you. I heard from your eldest brother that you have a very good relationship with Professor An. So you must know her very well!"

Lu Anning raised his eyes to look at Gu Yue and immediately understood. Just as he was about to respond, Ji Yan walked in with a smile.

"Who do you know well? What are you talking about? You seem very happy."

Lu Anning glanced at her and the smile on his face deepened.

Gu Zhiwei put away his smile and said, "Do you understand the company's new project?"

Ji Yan's smile froze. "If I don't understand, I can listen to you guys talk about it. Maybe I'll understand after listening a few more times."

"Dad was just asking me about Professor An's preferences. What? Do you want to cater to his tastes?"

Lu Anning said bluntly, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became subtle.

Ji Yan looked at everyone, and her eyes finally fell on her husband beside her. She could no longer smile.

"Why are you suddenly so attentive to another woman? We've already signed a contract, is it still necessary to understand her preferences? I've never seen you so attentive to me before."

A strong sense of jealousy permeated the entire living room, and everyone tactfully stopped talking. Lu Anning quietly drank tea, the fire was lit. Later, perhaps she could add some oil.

Gu Zhiwei was too lazy to explain to Ji Yan and said perfunctorily: "What do you, a woman, know about business matters?"

"I'm a woman, and that professor is also a woman, right? We're all talking about business, Jing Yuan, do you specifically try to understand the preferences of your female partners?"

"Perhaps, my father-in-law has his own long-term plans."

Tang Jingyuan didn't emphasize that it was a business plan, which could easily lead to the wrong idea. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Anning, and they smiled faintly and drank tea together.

When Ji Yan heard this, she immediately became annoyed.

"What long-term plans? The contract's already been signed, and you still want me to have dinner with you today and play basketball tomorrow? Isn't that female professor always busy? How come she always has time for other things when she's here? Tell me, what are your long-term plans?"

"Have you said enough?"

Faced with Ji Yan's series of questions, Gu Zhiwei lost his patience.

"Look at what you're like now! You're always fussing over the smallest things. You weren't like this before. Are you going through menopause? If you really can't control your temper, I'll find you a doctor. Don't embarrass me in front of the kids."

"Shameful? You think I'm shameful now, but why don't you think about what you've been doing recently? You're a married man, and you're with another woman every day. Am I overthinking this? You've never been like this before. If there really wasn't anything wrong, the reporters wouldn't have caught you in such a tirade. Gu Zhiwei, do you think I'm a fool? I've seen through your thoughts a long time ago."

"What am I thinking?! We've been married for decades. If I really wanted to do something, would I have to wait until today? I think you're just not normal. Tomorrow, I'll make an appointment for you to see a psychologist."

Gu Zhiwei said this and stood up.

"Come with me to the study and talk. Don't let this crazy woman affect your mood."

Seeing this, several people stood up.

Ji Yan was furious and looked at Gu Yue for help.

"Gu Yue, do you also think that this is my problem?"

Gu Yue sighed helplessly: "Mom, Jing Yuan and Ding Wan are still here. You are usually willful, but this is Professor An. What you are worried about will never happen."

"What's wrong with the professor? The professor is also a woman. My intuition can't be wrong."

Ji Yan couldn't tell Gu Yue that she had talked to Alice privately, and could only use intuition as an excuse, but Gu Yue didn't believe it at all.

Lu Anning kindly tried to comfort him, "Professor An is a superior person. She has access to all kinds of men. How could she possibly be so desperate as to become a mistress? You're just too nervous! Professor An has a big vision. She's not some short-sighted housewife who stays at home all year round. If you keep pestering me, it'll only make Dad angrier."

"you……"

"Dad, I've heard that women who stay at home all year round and don't have their own careers will become like this over time. You should be more understanding. After all, her family is everything to her. Professor An is different. She only thinks about big things."

Gu Zhiwei nodded in approval. "You should also take Professor An as your role model. Daddy really hopes that one day you can become a woman with a broad mind and high emotional intelligence like her."

"Dad, I will never let you down."

Seeing Ji Yan's face turning blue and purple, Lu An Ning felt more relaxed and breathed easier. She even found her father more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that no one spoke up for her, Ji Yan stubbornly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Zhiwei.

"You can't leave! Today, you must make your point clear. Are you starting to dislike me now and think that female professor is better than me? Gu Zhiwei, do you want to replace me?"

Gu Zhiwei's face was gloomy: "Let go! What are you talking about? Aunt Zhao! Madam is not feeling well, take her upstairs to rest."

"I'm very clear-headed! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Even after all these years, you still haven't forgotten that female professor, who looks like that person. Gu Zhiwei, let me tell you, that woman is actually..."

"shut up!"

Before he could finish his words, a loud slap landed on Ji Yan's face, and the whole world fell silent.

Lu Anning's breathing stagnated, and he frowned as he looked at the clear slap mark on Ji Yan's face.

Unexpectedly, her father would actually attack Ji Yan in public.

Aunt Zhao looked over hurriedly, and seeing this situation, she was so frightened that she dared not go forward.

Gu Zhiwei glanced at everyone coldly: "Madam is not feeling well, take her upstairs to rest."

Aunt Zhao responded tremblingly and quickly helped Ji Yan leave. Ji Yan covered her face and glared at Gu Zhiwei fiercely, but in the end she said nothing more and had to follow Aunt Zhao back to the room.
