Shen Ling used to be smug about this, thinking she had gotten a huge advantage.

Compared to now, she didn't gain any advantage at all; she clearly suffered a huge loss!

That cunning and shameless Shen Zhihuan actually dared to deceive her!

Just as Shen Ling was feeling extremely frustrated, Gu Yuchuan returned.

The moment he entered, his muscular physique and handsome face captivated Shen Ling's heart.

It instantly brought back wonderful memories of last night.

Forget it, what's so good about being short-lived?

No matter how powerful and influential the Xie family is, they can't make her a complete woman.

The kind of happiness that Gu Yuchuan brought her last night was something Xie Lanshen could never give her.

Compared to this, Shen Ling suddenly felt that the little grievances she had suffered were nothing.

Even if she had to face a difficult and mean mother-in-law and a scheming cousin in the Gu family, it would still be far better than marrying into the Xie family and becoming a widow.

Shen Ling instantly banished those wild thoughts, stood up, and greeted him with a charming smile.

"Honey, why are you home so early today? Did you miss me?"

"I know you work hard every day, so I got up early this morning to make you some soup. Drink it while it's hot."

To please Gu Yuchuan, Shen Ling deliberately turned her best-looking half of her face towards him when she spoke.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Yuchuan didn't even glance at her, his entire gaze fixed on Tong Xinyue, and he began to shower her with concern and care.

"Xinyue, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

He carefully examined Tong Xinyue's red eyes, his gaze filled with both heartache and anger.

"Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry just now?"
