After hearing Nan Qing's words, Sang Nanchen stopped bidding, but he turned his head and glanced at the young man who had been raising the price against him.

Xiao Mobai, who was behind him, kept his eyes on Nan Qing in front of him, so when Sang Nanchen looked at him, he met his gaze directly.

Xiao Mobai stared intently at Sang Nanchen with his dark eyes, his gaze filled not only with the arrogance of a victor but also with hostility and anger towards his rival.

Sang Nanchen, sitting in the front row, frowned. He was the one who deliberately raised the price against him, and he was also the one who won the bid in the end. Why was this person looking at him with such hostility?

Business competitors?

But judging from their age and attire, they don't seem quite right...

Xiao Mobai finally won the bid for the jade bead necklace, but he could only watch helplessly as his wife left the venue arm in arm with another man...

He looked down at the jewelry box in his hand, then looked up at the two figures as they left, and suddenly felt that he had lost completely.

Half an hour later.

"Bang!"

The door to Gu Ming's office was violently pushed open, slamming against the wall with a loud bang, nearly causing the documents in his hands to fly out of his hands.

Holy crap!!!

Gu Ming clutched his heart and looked up, only to see Xiao Mobai burst in like an enraged lion.

He gently patted his rapidly beating heart and said:

"My goodness, could you please push the door open a little more gently?! Could you?!"

"My fragile heart can't take this kind of scare!"

Xiao Mobai ignored him, his face dark as he strode to the sofa in the office, grabbed a mineral water bottle from the crystal coffee table, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and the bottle of water was emptied in the blink of an eye, the plastic bottle cracking loudly as he squeezed it.

Seeing Xiao Mobai's sudden change in expression, Gu Ming raised an eyebrow. This was truly interesting; it had been a long time since he'd seen the kid like this. He slowly closed the file and joked:

"Who is it that could make our young master Mo so angry?"

Then, without any haste, he walked to the liquor cabinet, took out two glasses, poured whiskey into them, and placed them in front of Xiao Mobai.

"Tell me about it?"

Xiao Mobai picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. The glass slammed heavily on the coffee table. His face was grim. After three seconds of silence, he suddenly uttered a sentence with a slightly nasal tone:

My wife has a boyfriend!

"puff...."

Gu Ming spat out all the wine he had just drunk. He looked at Xiao Mobai with a look of utter disbelief, and his voice rose eight octaves.

"What the hell???"

Xiao Mobai grabbed the bottle and poured himself another half glass of wine, his voice muffled as if he had a hot iron in his mouth:

"My wife, she has a boyfriend."

"She rejected my date because of that man, yet she still ate with him, held his hand, and smiled at him!!"

"And that pretty boy's hand was almost on her waist!!"

Gu Ming's expression froze the moment Xiao Mobai said, "His wife has a boyfriend," and he suddenly asked, dumbfounded:

"Your wife? She has a boyfriend?"

So it's cheating?

Xiao Mobai glared at him fiercely, then grabbed a nearby cushion and threw it at him, angrily saying:

"You're the one who cheated!!"

"How could my wife cheat on me? She only has eyes for me!!!"

Gu Ming, who had been hit by the pillow, immediately came to his senses. He looked at Xiao Mobai, who was full of anger, and suddenly grasped the key point, pointing a trembling finger at him and accusing him:

"Wait a minute, Xiao Mobai, you're married??"

"When did you get a wife? Well, we've been hanging out together since we were little, and you got married without even telling me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mobai paused for a moment, then irritably ran his fingers through his hair and muttered:

"It's not settled yet."

But then he added confidently, "But it was bound to happen sooner or later!!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming calmed down a bit. He had thought that Xiao Mobai, that bastard, had actually gotten married behind his back.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was Xiao Mobai's girlfriend. Although he had never seen Xiao Mobai get close to any girl since childhood, this was a good thing.

But then he remembered that Xiao Mobai said his wife had a boyfriend, which meant...

Gu Ming looked up at Xiao Mobai's head. So he'd been cuckolded? Was his brother really that miserable?

He coughed lightly a few times and asked cautiously, "So... your girlfriend cheated on you?"

The office fell into a deathly silence after those words were spoken.

Having no connection whatsoever with Nan Qing, and being merely a gaming partner he'd played a few games with, he dared not respond.

Seeing Xiao Mobai's silent, ghostly expression, Gu Ming, who had grown up with him, knew perfectly well that it was a sign of guilt. So, he suddenly realized there might be another possibility...

So he tentatively asked:

"When did you...start dating your girlfriend?"

He didn't even dare to say it too loudly, for fear that Xiao Mobai would get anxious again.

Sure enough, upon hearing this question, Xiao Mobai's expression darkened further. He raised his hand and downed another mouthful of wine before quietly saying:

"...She's not my girlfriend yet..."

"But my wife definitely only loves me! I'm sure of it!!"

"My wife is so naive, she must have been fooled by that pretty boy!!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming's features contorted as if struck by lightning. After a long while, he finally grasped what Xiao Mobai had said and said in disbelief:

So, that girl isn't your girlfriend, nor your wife?

"Who she dates is none of your business. Or is that girl deliberately trying to hook you up?"

"Besides, she's not your girlfriend. You keep calling her 'wife,' do you even know that?"

"Which family's daughter is she? I know her. And when did you meet her?"

When asked about these things, Gu Ming noticed that Xiao Mobai, who was usually so arrogant and lawless, actually blushed!

"We met...we met while playing games, didn't I ask you about it..."

Sitting next to him, Gu Ming's expression was as if he had swallowed a frog whole, his lips twitching as he said:

"So...you're referring to the eldest daughter of the Sang family as your wife??"

He found it unbelievable, but Xiao Mobai on the other side actually started to act coy, and even looked like he was in the throes of first love.

"Hmm...it's her, Sang Nanqing..."

Gu Ming was so amused by Xiao Mobai's words that he couldn't stand up straight. He clutched his stomach and laughed heartily, while also mocking Xiao Mobai:

"Hahaha, Xiao Mobai, you've actually met your match! Hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter! You only asked me her name a few days ago, and now you're calling her 'wife' all the time. Have you no shame? Hahahaha!"

Xiao Mobai put down his wine glass, remained silent, and his ears turned bright red. He grabbed a nearby cushion and buried himself in it.

But he's shameless; all he wants is his wife...
