Su Ying had already married him, and since the Gu family couldn't reveal this to the second wife, he chose to tell his own wife.

His young wife had told him her most important secret, so why should he hide it? What was so secret about the Gu family that he couldn't tell?

"There's nothing to hide about the Gu family's messy affairs; there's absolutely no need to conceal them."

Su Ying nodded and took the man's arm. "We are a legally married couple, the closest of people. I want to know all the troubles in your heart."

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything. It concerns the entire Gu family, so to prevent eavesdropping, let's go inside the space and talk."

"All right."

Su Ying pulled Gu Sinian to a secluded spot and slipped into her spatial dimension. Gu Sinian was caught off guard and entered the space without any warning.

As soon as Su Ying entered the space, she pinned the man against the sofa and looked down at him.

"Tell me quickly, I'm eager to know what happened."

Gu Sinian put his arm around Su Ying's waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Pay some interest first if you want to know."

Su Ying looked completely bewildered and frowned as she said to the man, "Knowing the Gu family's secrets requires interest? What do you want then? Let's see if I can afford it."

"I can afford it."

With a gentle pull, Su Ying fell into his arms, intimately close. Gu Sinian held Su Ying firmly, their lips and tongues entwined, touching and sucking each other...

After the kiss ended, Gu Sinian held Su Ying firmly to his lap.

"If you want to hear a story, don't move around. You know better than me what will happen if you squirm around. Once you start to react, I might not have time to tell the story anymore. I'll have to carry you back to the room to do other things..."

Such an ambiguous posture, such ambiguous words, she dared not move anymore, obediently sitting on Gu Sinian's lap, quietly waiting for what would happen next.

Gu Sinian took a deep breath as the past came vividly to mind. He recalled that he was nine years old that year.

"I was abducted by human traffickers thirteen years ago, not by accident but by deliberate means."

As soon as Gu Sinian said this, Su Ying roughly guessed who did it. "Could it have been the second wife's family?"

“It was my second uncle and aunt who did it. Thirteen years ago, they sold me to human traffickers. The traffickers deliberately hid on my usual route after class, caught me, put me in a sack, and carried me away.”

"That's how I was taken from Beijing to Shanghai. The traffickers didn't know I came from a wealthy family and thought I was just an ordinary kid. They put the whole city under martial law shortly after they caught me."

"Later, I don't know how they managed to send me to Shanghai. When I woke up, I didn't know what day it was. I seized the opportunity and ran away."

"I know that if I don't escape this time, I'll never have another chance."

"I could only run forward, keep running forward, and I accidentally rolled off the cliff, which allowed me to escape from the human traffickers, and then I met you."

“You were the ray of light in my most fearful moment… It was you who begged Grandma Su to save me, take me back to the Su family to recuperate, and have Grandma Su treat my broken bones. After three years of recuperation, I was finally healed and could run and jump again when my parents came to visit.”

Su Ying seemed to be deep in thought. She was only six years old at the time, but her memory was exceptionally good, and she seized upon Gu Sinian's loophole.

"You didn't lose your memory back then, right? You wanted to stay in the Su family, didn't you?"

Gu Sinian, caught red-handed, awkwardly touched his neck. The little girl was clever; she guessed right every time.

"It's understandable that I don't want to go back to the Gu family. My second uncle and aunt are eyeing me covetously. I'm afraid that if I go back, the Gu family won't be able to protect me. It's safer to stay by your side. Besides, I want to be with you."

Su Ying suddenly wrapped her arms around Gu Sinian's neck and stared straight at the man.

"You wouldn't have had designs on me when I was so young, would you?"
