Even though Gu Ye was beaten up like this by Shang Yan, he didn't show any fear, just like a crazy madman.

Upon hearing Shang Yan say that he was unworthy of Yu Sheng, he laughed maniacally and asked him, "If I'm unworthy of Yu Sheng, then who is? You? Why aren't you saying anything? Afraid to admit it? I never dreamed that you would fall in love with Yu Sheng, fall in love with your own... sister!"

After Gu finished speaking, he laughed loudly and clapped his hands vigorously!

Gu Ye's laughter and the crisp sound of slapping stimulated Shang Yan's sensitive and fragile nerves.

Over the years, he has wanted countless times to tell everyone without any reservations that he has fallen in love with his nominal sister!

Even if he faced ethical condemnation and gossip, he didn't want to keep this secret in his heart anymore, because it was just too painful—a kind of pain that only those who have experienced unrequited love can understand!

But after considering that Yu Sheng would have to endure the same social judgment as him, his impulsiveness gradually subsided.

He can suffer, but he can't let the girl he loves suffer because of him!

If Gu hadn't cheated on him, he would have continued to dwell on this pain in the darkness of night, and secretly wished her happiness!

The seemingly predetermined ending of the script quietly changed the moment Gu Ye cheated on her.

He mustered all his courage and stepped out of the darkness into the octagon, put on his boxing gloves, and stood in the position of Gu Ye's opponent!

The fact that things have turned out this way is entirely Gu Ye's fault!

Not only is he unrepentant, but he's also mocking him?

He's the last person who has the right to mock him!

Shang Yan really wanted to say like a true man: "So what if I like my own sister? We're not related by blood, why can't I like her!"

These words were on the tip of his tongue, but Shang Yan couldn't bring himself to say them. His face turned ashen with frustration.

In that instant, countless considerations flooded his mind.

He hasn't planned everything out yet, so he can't act rashly, or everything will be irreversible!

Shang Yan forcibly suppressed his intense emotions, grabbed Gu Ye's head with both hands and slammed it to the ground while warning, "I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said, but if you keep talking nonsense in front of me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Even though the back of Gu Ye's head was as hard as the floor, it hit him so hard that he saw stars and couldn't laugh anymore.

During this time, Shang Yan had already gotten up and walked towards his desk.

As he wiped his hands with a wet wipe, Gu Ye's playful voice came from behind him: "Rumors? Shang Yan, you're a man, and so am I. From the moment I walked in until this second, even if you try to suppress your feelings for Yu Sheng, I can still feel it!"

Gu Ye's words stirred up the emotions Shang Yan had just suppressed. He dropped the wet wipe in his hand, grabbed a piece of chocolate from the box, roughly tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth...

The bitter taste acted like a tranquilizer, gradually calming him down.

When he turned around to look at Gu Ye, he was completely as usual, and sneered: "Don't be so absolute. Sometimes the most unreliable thing is your feelings!"

Gu hadn't expected that even after he'd gone to such lengths, Shang Yan would still refuse to admit it.

Of course, he could understand why he wouldn't admit it!

Gu Ye walked up to Shang Yan and said, "You keep denying it, doesn't that mean you're convinced I have no evidence?"

Shang Yan shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

In Gu Ye's eyes, this action was a blatant provocation.

He grabbed his collar angrily: "From today onwards, you'd better watch out if you ever have an affair with Yu Sheng again, because I'll be watching you 24/7!"

Shang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for being my personal bodyguard for free!"

Shang Yan's attitude and response made Gu feel like he had punched a cotton ball.

There's also a sense of arrogance about him, as if he's not afraid of anyone finding out he slept with his wife!

Gu Ye was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to powder. He wanted to punch him, but then he realized he couldn't beat him and gave up the idea. Instead, he threatened, "You better not let me catch you with any evidence, or... I'll ruin your reputation!"

Shang Yan removed the two hands that were gripping his collar, straightened his clothes with a handsome yet elegant gesture, and said in a lazy voice, "Okay, I'll be waiting!"

"I won't keep you waiting too long."

After saying this with the twisted expression one would use to poison a dog, Gu Ye left the room.

Once the door closed, Shang Yan dropped all pretense.

He irritably wiped his face and began to review the incident.

He felt that the reason things had developed to this point was entirely due to the desires within him.

If it weren't for desire, if it weren't for those damned chemical molecules, he wouldn't have had insomnia last night, wouldn't have had erotic dreams, wouldn't have lost control when he saw her wearing black stockings, and wouldn't have lost his mind and carried her into the office when he saw her sprain her ankle... and none of the subsequent events would have happened!

Thinking of this, Shang Yan slammed his fist on the table, making a dull thud, but he felt no pain whatsoever...

As Shang Yan felt remorse, he thought of Yu Sheng. Gu also misunderstood that she was having an affair with him. Would he do something to her?

Upon realizing that Gu Ye might harm Yu Sheng, Shang Yan couldn't remain calm. He grabbed his phone and dialed Yu Sheng's number, but as soon as he dialed, he quickly pressed the hang-up button.

He did this for two reasons: first, he was afraid that his sudden call would cause her trouble; second, he didn't know how to talk to her after the call connected, because he wasn't sure if she knew that Gu also misunderstood their relationship!

Shang Yan gripped her phone tightly, deciding to go home first!

He grabbed his coat and strode out of the office.
