Su Niannian watched her retreating figure and sighed helplessly.

She kept saying she needed to use the restroom and couldn't chat.

However, this woman still insisted on going to the restroom with her, just to talk to her. It was clear that this woman had ill intentions.

Gu Qing is Si Lijue's good friend, and he probably wants to ask me to stand up for Si Lijue again.

Or perhaps the ancient lover in front of her is an admirer of Si Lijue, and his pestering of her is simply to cause her trouble, treating her as a potential enemy.

After thinking it through, Su Niannian stood still and said to the person in front of her, "Miss Gu Qing, I guess you don't want to go to the restroom!"

What exactly do you want from me? Just say it directly, so we don't waste each other's time.

Gu Qing paused, turned around, and stared at Su Niannian in surprise. She hadn't expected Su Niannian to be so straightforward, seeing right through her thoughts.

That's good too. Being straightforward and making things clear saves her a lot of trouble.

Gu Qing revealed an arrogant smile and said haughtily, "You do have a good sense of self-awareness."

I really didn't want to go to the bathroom, but I just wanted to chat with you, so I decided to go with you on a whim.

Since you've seen through me, there's no need for me to keep pretending. Let's be frank and speak openly.

I want you to stay away from Li Jue and stop bothering him.

Five years ago, you took advantage of him while he was drunk and forced yourself on him, which already caused him enough harm.

I don't want him to get hurt again because of you, and I don't want him to have anything to do with you anymore.

Su Niannian did not immediately refuse her unreasonable request, nor did she refute her on the spot and embarrass her. Instead, she calmly observed her.

After a moment, Su Niannian spoke calmly and expressionlessly: "I want to ask, by what status and position do you demand that I keep my distance from Si Lijue?"

Are you his current girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend, or perhaps there's some other, more intimate relationship between you?

Gu Qing's face was pale, her expression stiff, and she stubbornly said, "Can't I ask you this as a good friend?"

She hadn't expected that Su Niannian, who looked so gentle and weak, was actually a difficult person to deal with.

She is not Si Lijue's girlfriend, not before, not now, let alone in a closer relationship.

She was at most a friend of Si Lijue, not even a good friend.

She did want to become Si Lijue's girlfriend, but Si Lijue wouldn't give her that chance at all.

"I'm afraid that kind of relationship won't work!" Su Niannian shook her head and answered decisively.

"How can you be so shameless? Let me tell you, I will become his woman and marry him sooner or later." Gu Qing couldn't hold back anymore and became aggressive.

Su Niannian shrugged and said fearlessly, "Not yet, right? Wait until you're truly his rightful wife before you ask me for it."

No matter how good-tempered she is, she won't let anyone bully her.

Besides, compared to Gu Qing in front of her, at least she gave birth to a son for Si Li Jue!

Gu Qing was surprised to be rejected by Su Niannian and became somewhat agitated. Without regard for the consequences, she said sharply, "You've hurt him so badly, how dare you still be entangled with him? What right do you have to stay by his side?"

She was the manager of the Emperor Entertainment Club. The doorman had just approached her and told her what had happened at the main entrance.

In order to handle the matter fairly and justly, she reviewed the surveillance footage from the time of the incident, and only then did she see the man she had been longing for holding another woman's hand and walking into the lobby, looking very affectionate.

Moreover, she felt that the woman in the picture looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was the same woman who had flirted with the CEO five years ago.

She never imagined that the aloof and powerful CEO would reprimand a doorman to protect the woman who assaulted him five years ago; her heart was shattered.

Su Niannian stared intently at Gu Qing's face, which seemed to hold a deep-seated grudge against her, pondering how to respond in a way that would prevent Gu Qing from bothering her.

Just then, Si Lijue's deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind Su Niannian.

"She stayed by my side as my wife, or as the mother of my children."

His words exploded in the air like thunder, startling Gu Qing and making her heart sink completely.

Gu Qing felt a mix of emotions, but on the surface, she had to pretend that nothing was wrong.

She turned her head and looked at Si Lijue with tender affection, speaking gently, "Lijue, I was just about to come find you. The doorman outside has been severely punished as you requested. Would you like some more drinks in the private room?"

"Someone will tell you if you need more drinks." Si Lijue said with a gloomy face, approaching them step by step, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth.

Gu Qing felt suffocated by the powerful aura emanating from him, and knowing that he was furious, she couldn't help but feel flustered.

She quickly explained, "Li Jue, please believe me, everything I did was really for your own good!"

This woman once deeply hurt you, causing you endless pain and torment.

So when I learned that she had reappeared by your side, my heart was filled with worry and fear.

I'm afraid you'll suffer the same hurt again, which is why I want to keep her away from you. This will at least ensure your safety and happiness.

By the end, her voice even trembled with a hint of a sob, as if she truly cared about Si Lijue and didn't want to see him suffer even the slightest harm.

"Manager Gu, I don't think our relationship is close enough for you to call me by my first name. Please call me General Manager Si from now on, or address me by my full name."

Si Lijue didn't even glance at her, coldly walking past her and going straight to Su Nuannuan's side, naturally putting his arm around her waist.

He solemnly reiterated: "She is my wife. From now on, please call her Mrs. Si."

Then, he leaned down slightly and asked softly, "Wife, weren't you going to the bathroom? You're back so soon?"

Su Niannian looked up in surprise, her gaze fixed on Si Lijue's handsome face.

She shook her head and said truthfully, "I haven't had a chance to go yet. When I got here, Manager Gu stopped me and said she wanted to talk to me."

"Idiot, everyone has to go to the toilet sometimes. What could be more important than going to the toilet?"

You're just too kind; all sorts of cats and dogs dare to bully you.

Si Lijue looked at the woman in his arms with doting eyes and shook his head helplessly: "Sigh! How can I rest easy with you like this?"

Wife, you must always remember that you are my woman, Si Lijue's woman.

From now on, you can do whatever you want without having to worry about anyone's opinion, and you're not allowed to be bullied by anyone, understand?

"Mmm!" Su Niannian responded softly after hearing what the other person said, indicating that she understood.
