Yu Sheng knew that the woman was worried that if she revealed 'that thing,' it would damage her and Xu Shao's reputations and lead to their dismissal from the company.

The best solution is to make her feel like she didn't see it and put her mind at ease.

So she pretended to be clueless and asked, "Who do you see? Aren't you the only one in the women's bath?"

Before the woman could reply, Gu also called.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

She walked to the side, and as soon as she pressed the answer button, Gu Ye's voice came through: "Where did you go?"

"Are you out there? Have you finished your meeting?"

"Well, but I still have some things to take care of and I need your help."

Yu Sheng knew nothing about business. She was very curious about what kind of help Gu Ye needed, but Gu Ye kept her in suspense and insisted on telling her to go upstairs first.

Yu Sheng hung up the phone, saw that the woman was still there, politely greeted her, and then left.

The woman stared intently at Yu Sheng's departing figure until it disappeared from sight, then turned around and was startled by Gu Ye's gloomy expression behind her.

Before she could say anything, he roughly dragged her to a secluded corner.

He stared at her with fiery eyes: "Do you want to die?"

Jiang Jiang and Gu Ye had been together for almost half a year, and she had never seen him lose his temper like this before.

He always appeared gentle and refined, a true gentleman, in front of her, which startled her.

He asked cautiously, "Did I do something wrong?"

Gu Ye gripped Jiang Jiang's chin, the excessive force distorting her beautiful face, his voice chilling: "I told you long ago not to provoke her, did you just ignore me?"

"I didn't provoke her..."

Do you think I'm blind?

Gu Ye's face was contorted with rage, and he seemed to have the urge to crush her jawbone.

Jiang Jiang's eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and she whimpered aggrievedly, "Gu Ye, you misunderstood me... I deliberately struck up a conversation with her just now to test whether she saw you in the bathroom?"

Gu was taken aback. "How did you test me?"

Jiang Jiang relayed her conversation with Yu Sheng to Gu Ye, her tone certain: "She didn't see anything!"

Gu felt a great sense of relief.

He had just discussed honeymoon with Yu Sheng, but she seemed so distracted that he thought she had seen him in the women's bath.

As his worries were cleared up, the hostility in his body also dissipated.

He returned to his usual affectionate self, cupping Jiang Jiang's cheeks and kissing her.

With a face full of apology: "I'm sorry, baby, I misunderstood you. Please forgive me. I was just too excited. You know how important Yu Sheng is to me!"

Although Jiang Jiang felt wronged, she didn't get jealous or act childish.

She analyzed for him: "She never came to your company before, but she suddenly came today. Something's definitely not right. I guess she's noticed something. Have you done anything to arouse her suspicion?"

Gu also mentally reviewed every moment of his interactions with Yu Sheng over the past two days.

His first thought was of last night, when she asked him why he smelled of perfume.

Then I remembered that he had lied to her, saying he was going to drink with Duan Huaisheng!

He didn't know if it was the scent of his perfume or the exposure of his lie that aroused her suspicion.

unimportant!

The important thing is—since she doubts him, he needs to find a way to dispel her doubts!

He has already come up with a solution.

The marks from his pinching still lingered on Jiang Jiang's fair face. He felt a pang of heartache and gently scraped them with his finger: "You've always wanted a Hermes Birkin bag, haven't you? I asked Xu Shao to buy it for you. It'll arrive in the next couple of days."

Jiang Jiang's tear-filled eyes instantly brightened, and she suppressed her overwhelming joy as she said, "Thank you, honey. So, what are your plans for dealing with her situation?"

"Don't worry, your husband will handle it."

...

Yu Sheng returned to Gu Ye's office and, finding him not there, asked Mo Xin where he had gone.

Mo Xin said she didn't know either.

Yu Sheng wanted to send a message to Gu Ye, and even opened the chat window, but then gave up.

Taking a walk eased her heavy mood somewhat, but not by much.

The question of whether Gu Ye had cheated on her still lingered in her mind and heart!

What exactly should she do to verify whether Gu Ye has cheated on her?

She had no experience in this area and didn't know what to do for a moment.

She even thought how wonderful it would be if she could read minds.

That way, she could tell at a glance whether Gu had betrayed her.

Lost in thought, Gu also returned.

"There's a nice dessert shop nearby, I just went and bought you one—your favorite cheese flavor!"

Looking at the cake in his hand and the deep affection in his eyes, Yu Sheng suddenly realized that she might have been overthinking things. How could he possibly cheat on her when he treated her so well?

But how do you explain the anonymous text messages, the perfume scent, and that lie?

Two opposing forces within the brain engaged in a fierce debate, like opposing sides.

It was causing a huge uproar in her mind, pushing her to the brink of collapse.

She shook her head, putting the debate aside for the moment, and asked Gu Ye, "What can I do for you?"

Gu Ye turned on the screen mirroring, and the screen split into two, with a picture of a pair of running shoes on each side.

"These running shoes are a new style this spring. I named them the SY1211 series. SY is an abbreviation of the first letters of our names, and 1211 is the day we got our marriage certificate. But I haven't decided which style to choose yet, so I want you to decide for me!"

If you say Gu Ye couldn't possibly cheat, you're on the affirmative side; if you say Gu Ye cheated, you're on the negative side.

At this moment, Gu Ye's words made the affirmative side in her mind overpower the negative side.
