Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyun frowned deeply.

Gu Huaiqian spoke very bluntly, and his expression showed undisguised anger.

"What's wrong with you? First it was Zhao Yanyan, then Linda, and now there's Tang Xiaoran! How come something always happens to you when you go out! If Jingya finds out, how heartbroken and upset she will be!"

Faced with the reprimand, Gu Zhiyun had no way to refute it and silently endured it with his head down.

"Even if she's a boss, a woman shouldn't call you in the middle of the night, especially on your first night back! Doesn't she know what it means to avoid suspicion? Or did you send her the wrong message, making her think she can call you anytime without any scruples? Luckily, I answered the phone. If Jingya had answered it, how would you explain it?"

Gu Huaiqian grew angrier as he spoke, slammed his hand on the sofa, stood up, and stared fiercely at Gu Zhiyun.

Gu Zhiyun had been scolded a lot since he was a child. His father had always been strict with him in every aspect.

Especially after he got married, his father was even less allowed to let him make such a mistake.

Although Fang Ru loves Gu Zhiyun, she will not speak up for him under these circumstances.

When it comes to educating their children, the couple has always been on the same side.

“Dad, my attitude towards Tang Xiaoran is very clear, and I am intentionally avoiding her. I have not sent her any messages. The satellite research and development team has completed its mission, and she is no longer my leader. I will have nothing to do with her.”

Gu Zhiyun had originally planned to mention Tang Xiaoran's recommendation for him to pursue a doctorate, but then he thought that since Tang Xiaoran had refused so decisively, there would be no further developments.

It wouldn't make much sense to say it out loud.

"You've explained everything clearly, so why is she calling you in the middle of the night?"

Gu Huaiqian scolded, "There must be some things you haven't explained clearly!"

Fang Ru spoke up: "Huaiqian, don't put all the blame on Zhiyun. We both know what kind of person he is. No one doubts his feelings for Jingya. But the problem is, his female boss is flirting with him. She hasn't explicitly said that she's interested in Zhiyun. She's just using her position to try and talk to him. How can Zhiyun express his feelings? There are some things he can't say."

Gu Huaiqian sighed, feeling frustrated.

Sometimes, he really wished his son wasn't so outstanding, so he wouldn't be targeted by one bad romantic interest after another.

"Besides, Professor Tang is a sensible man. Would he allow his daughter to do such a thing?"

Fang Ru said, "From now on, Zhiyun should stay far away from her and avoid any contact with her. If you really can't avoid her, then ask Professor Tang to step in!"

Gu Huaiqian said with a troubled expression, "You make it sound so easy!"

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll handle this."

Gu Zhiyun said, "I'll call her tomorrow and tell her not to call our house anymore."

Gu Huaiqian's brows remained furrowed, so he could only wearily pinch the space between his eyebrows.

"Alright, go back to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

He scolded his son, but he was actually quite heartbroken.

Even though it wasn't his son's fault, he could only criticize him and put all the pressure on him.

Gu Zhiyun returned to the bedroom and softly called "Jingya," but received no response.

Shen Jingyan was too tired from his antics and had already fallen asleep.

Gu Zhiyun tiptoed back to bed and pulled his wife into his arms.

Chen Jingyan, a light sleeper, slightly opened her eyes and asked in a daze:

"What does Dad want to talk to you about?"

Gu Zhiyun patted her back and said, "It's nothing serious, I'll tell you tomorrow. Go to sleep."

She hummed in agreement and fell asleep nestled in his arms.

Looking at his wife's peaceful sleeping face, Gu Zhiyun felt a strong sense of guilt.

When it comes to romantic relationships, he always seems unable to handle those "bad romantic interests" well, causing them to keep bothering him.

In the latter half of the night, Gu Zhiyun tossed and turned, reflecting on where he had fallen short.

The next morning, before breakfast was even served, the phone rang.

Fang Ru was in the kitchen, Gu Huaiqian was watching the news on the sofa, and Gu Zhiyun was washing up in the bathroom while holding Rui Rui.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Gu Huaiqian quickly stood up to answer the phone, but Shen Jingyan had already picked it up.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Gu Huaiqian's brow twitched a few times.

Without a doubt, the call was from Tang Xiaoran.

Tang Xiaoran was taken aback when she heard Chen Jingyan's clear and melodious voice.

"Hello, you must be Xiao Gu's wife, right? I'm his boss. If you need anything, talk to him."

A female leader? Shen Jingyan had never heard Gu Zhiyun mention it before.

However, she wasn't angry. Gu Zhiyun had only been home for less than 24 hours, and he had spent most of that time having sex with her, so it was normal that he hadn't had a chance to talk.

Without thinking much, Shen Jingyan called out towards the bathroom, "Brother Yun, your boss is looking for you!"
