From Fu Hanshen's words, Gu Zhendong gleaned a key point, which was related to Lu Huan's unusual behavior over the past two days.

So, she suspects that she is cheating on her?

Thinking back on the past few days, he seemed no different from usual, so why would Lu Huan think he had a woman outside?

Or did you find out from some woman?

After thinking it over, Gu Zhendong felt it was necessary to ask clearly. Trust is the most important thing between husband and wife. Only by trusting each other can this matter be resolved.

However, he can't wait for Lu Huan to come back now.

Gu Zhendong took a deep breath, glanced at the quiet doorway, and asked, "Is she staying at your place tonight?"

"No!" Fu Hanshen replied quickly and blankly.

"No?" Gu Zhendong frowned. "Then why did you complain that you slept on the sofa?"

Logically speaking, Yan Shi kicked Fu Hanshen out of the room so that she could sleep with Lu Huan.

Why isn't she here?

If she's not with Yan Shi, where else could she go?

Fu Hanshen also sensed something was wrong. "Lu Huan left a long time ago. Why didn't she go back?"

Gu Zhendong pursed his lips. If she were back, would she still be wasting her breath talking to him here?

Before Fu Hanshen could finish his remaining rambling, Gu Zhendong hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, I called Lu Huan.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Gu Zhendong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Where are you?"

Lu Huan paused, bit her lip, and said, "I'm sleeping with my mom tonight and won't be coming back. You go to sleep!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't hang up the phone in a hurry, but waited quietly for Gu Zhendong's explanation.

She thought she would believe Gu Zhendong if he offered just one explanation.

In fact, Gu Zhendong didn't explain anything, he just said, "Okay, go to sleep early!"

The phone rang and hung up, leaving only a dial tone. Lu Huan's heart sank.

She rarely slept with Shen Hui, and sometimes she couldn't sleep. She didn't dare to move around too much for fear of waking Shen Hui.

I stayed awake until almost dawn before finally drifting off to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I naturally had two big dark circles under my eyes again.

Although Shen Hui didn't know what conflict had arisen between the young couple, she could tell that her daughter genuinely liked Gu Zhendong, and she didn't want the two of them to quarrel because of some misunderstanding.

"You're both young. Sit down and talk things over properly. Don't give each other the silent treatment. Try your best to resolve the issues!"

Lu Huan knew exactly how to solve the problem, but she had no evidence and didn't know how to ask.

Not wanting Shen Hui to worry about her, Lu Huan hugged Shen Hui and said coquettishly, "Mom, he and I are fine. I just missed you and wanted to sleep with you!"

Shen Hui patted her head and said nothing more.

Let them resolve their own issues as younger generations!

After having breakfast, Lu Huan finally returned to her room.

She thought about it and realized that what Shen Hui said wasn't unreasonable; she was ultimately doing it for their own good!

Or she could just ask Gu Zhendong directly if he had another woman outside, and if he did, she could ask for a divorce!

Constantly speculating only exhausted herself and made others worry about her.

That's what they thought, but when it came to actually taking action, they backed down.

When Lu Huan returned, Gu Zhendong was on the phone again.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Gu Zhendong said into the phone that he would talk to her later and hung up. Then he said to Lu Huan, "You're back!"

Lu Huan gave a soft "hmm," her gaze falling on his phone, her eyes hesitant.

The questions I wanted to ask just wouldn't come out.

She was timid and had no idea how to start the conversation.

Avoiding Gu Zhendong's gaze, Lu Huan responded softly, her expression somewhat weary, "I'm a little tired, I don't want to go out today!"

Gu Zhendong stared at her intently without saying a word.

She had already arranged all the itinerary before coming, but she insisted that she was too tired to go out.

Seeing her walk quickly into the room, Gu Zhendong didn't stop her. From the glance they exchanged earlier, he could tell that she looked terrible, probably because she hadn't slept well last night.

After the person went inside, Gu Zhendong fell into deep thought again.

When Lu Huan came in, she stared at her phone, and the sadness on her face was something she probably didn't even realize herself.

The call was from the event planner, who wanted to further discuss the setup of the venue.

If he remembered correctly, he woke up in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago and Lu Huan saw him on the phone and even asked who was calling. Could it be that she was jealous because of this?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Suddenly, all her confusion and bewilderment vanished. She was jealous and angry because she saw him talking on the phone with another woman. This also matched what Fu Hanshen had said about him being greedy and having his cake and eating it too.

Gu Zhendong wanted to laugh at her timid nature. If she really suspected him of having another woman, why didn't she confront him?

No, to be precise, it's that she doesn't trust herself enough.

After this is over, he will definitely teach this little woman a lesson and make her distrust him.

Lu Huan said she was a little tired, and that wasn't entirely a lie. She hadn't slept well last night, so she was naturally sleepy right now.

But after lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep at all. There was a nerve in my head that was taut, as if it was about to snap at any moment.

A moment later, she heard the door open and instinctively tried to peek out from under the covers, only to meet the man's eyes.

Gu Zhendong came in to get his clothes. "You rest, I have something to do outside."

His speech was vague and completely different from before.

In the past, he would clearly state where he went and what he did, unlike now where he only gives a vague explanation.

Lu Huan wanted to question you about where you went and what you were doing, but all she could say was "oh," and she shrank back into the covers.

She must be hiding like a turtle right now.

Lu Huan clutched the blanket, and after a while she heard Gu Zhendong open the door and leave. It felt like a rope was tied to her heart, tightening tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

Lu Huan, why are you so timid? What is it that you're afraid to ask?

＊

Gu Zhendong went out to see just how far this little woman could go with her coquettishness, but even after he came out, Lu Huan didn't come after him, and he sighed helplessly.

She stood at the door for a few more minutes before finally taking the first step to find Shen Huimingze.

Mingze's expression clearly darkened upon seeing Gu Zhendong. "What are you doing here?"

Shen Hui nudged his arm, telling him to be nicer to Gu Zhendong, after all, he was her son-in-law.

Gu Zhendong didn't care, thinking that their anger towards him was proof of their affection for Lu Huan.

"Mom and Dad, I came to explain to you that Lu Huan and I didn't have a fight. She misunderstood some things!"

Upon hearing this, Mingze's anger flared even more. He slammed his hand on the table and gave Gu Zhendong a cold look: "If it weren't for some things you did that would cause her to misunderstand?"

Lu Huan is the daughter he finally found. He dotes on her and wouldn't allow Gu Zhendong to say anything bad about her.

In his opinion, Gu Zhendong was not good enough for his daughter, and he couldn't wait for the two of them to divorce as soon as possible.

"There's nothing more to say. If you're going to make my daughter suffer, I'll say it again: you two should get a divorce..."

Before he could even utter the word "marriage," Shen Hui stomped on his foot hard, causing him to turn pale with pain and become speechless.

Shen Hui was still very satisfied with Gu Zhendong as her son-in-law, and she knew that he was really good to her daughter. Huanhuan must have misunderstood something.

Shen Hui smiled gently at Gu Zhendong: "Don't mind him. He's been a bit stressed these past few days. Just ignore what he says!"

"By the way, what did you just say Huanhuan misunderstood about you?"

"It's like this, last time I received a call from a woman in the middle of the night, and Huanhuan mistakenly thought that I was having an affair."

Listen to this, answering a woman's phone call in the middle of the night, is that even human language?

Mingze was furious. "You're talking on the phone with another woman late at night? Don't you care about my daughter at all?!"

No wonder that girl has been so listless these past two days. When asked, she wouldn't say anything. It turns out that Gu Zhendong has a mistress outside.

Mingze was furious and wanted to kick Gu Zhendong out immediately. Shen Hui, who was standing next to him, stomped on his foot, also wanting to kick him out.

They clearly said it was a misunderstanding, but they didn't even bother to listen to Gu Zhendong's explanation.

Shen Hui glared fiercely at Mingze, then said gently, "Ignore him, continue!"

Mingze: ...

He suspected that Gu Zhendong had already bribed his wife!

This guy is really cunning. He looks serious on the surface, but he's actually a scheming man.

Mingze was so angry he wanted to kick her out, but Shen Hui glared at him warningly, as if to say: If you dare to say another word, you'll be the one leaving this room!

Receiving a warning look from his wife, Mingze had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily, his eyes fixed on Gu Zhendong, eager to hear his explanation.

Gu Zhendong calmly gave an explanation.

He brought Lu Huan on vacation this time to give her a romantic surprise.

He wanted to propose to Lu Huan again to make up for the hasty proposal last time.

This time, it wasn't just about romance; they also invited both sets of parents and friends to witness the occasion.

He had been planning this for a long time. The person in charge of the entire proposal team was a woman, and Gu Zhendong had been communicating with her a lot these days.

Because it was a surprise and Lu Huan couldn't know, he usually answered the calls from the other party behind Lu Huan's back. As a result, Lu Huan misunderstood him and mistakenly thought that he had a woman outside.

"How do I know if you're telling the truth? What if you're just trying to fool us?" Mingze said skeptically. "Don't even think about getting us to speak for you; that's impossible!"

Gu Zhendong knew that his few words alone were not enough to convince people, so he arranged to meet with the head of the planning team.

Mingze didn't want to go, but seeing that Shenhui was going, he had no choice but to go with her.

Gu Zhendong directly arranged to meet the other party at the proposal venue. In fact, the venue had already been almost set up, but Gu Zhendong was not satisfied with it before and asked them to dismantle and redo it, which made the venue a mess.

A woman dressed in casual clothes saw Gu Zhendong, said something to the person next to her, and hurriedly walked over: "Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?"

"There's something I need your help to explain and clarify."
