Chapter 105: Is it sincerity or pretense?

I absolutely cannot let my mother know about such an embarrassing incident, especially since I have already sent Song Xinran to another department.

Having her by his side every day, constantly glancing at him, would make even a normal person unable to work properly.

Gu Yunxi glanced at the time; it was almost 6 o'clock. What a strange feeling—she wasn't hungry at all. Could it be that she could fast again?

For those who cultivate themselves, fasting is a common practice. In fact, it is quite normal for highly accomplished practitioners to stay in the mountains for ten days or half a month without eating.

But ever since I came into this body, I have to eat every day, otherwise I'll be starving.

It seems that I can slowly start fasting now.

Fans are extremely excited about her 6 PM live streams, because aside from her occasional punctuality, the problems she solves during each live stream are as dramatic as those in a TV series.

It's even better than those blockbuster movies!

[Here they come! The true fans are here! I wonder what exciting drama will unfold tonight.]

It's still early. Time to slack off and head home. Put on your headphones, hop on the subway, and wait for the next story to unfold.

Okay, okay, so that's how it's done, huh? I'm not cooking, I'll just order takeout and watch TV while I eat.

Gu Yunxi: !!! !!! !!!

"It's still early, let's connect online first. Just like we told that fan, we can chat while we eat. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll stream until midnight tonight and then we can connect online."

A wave of gifts passed by, and a netizen named Yao Yao came online!

The woman looked worried, holding a doll in her arms. She seemed to have a lot to say, yet also seemed hesitant to speak.

"It's okay, go ahead and say it. Those people you mentioned can't see my live stream, and of course, neither can all the partners who connected with me before!"

Ah! So that's how it is. That solves a question that's been bothering me for a while.

[This is terrible. Every time the master connects with a victim, I get extremely worried, fearing that those who want to harm him might also be lurking in the live stream and make their next move. Only then can everyone feel at ease.]

Hearing Gu Yunxi say this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear.

"Master Gu, my name is Yu Xingyao. I am calling today to resolve a question in my mind. I suspect my husband is having an affair, but after following him for a long time, I still cannot find any evidence of infidelity."

My woman's intuition tells me he's definitely up to something. I want a fortune teller to figure out who he's cheating on me with.

Gu Yunxi already knew everything from her face. She looked a little embarrassed, but didn't dare to speak. Such an explosive plot was something even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray.

"Tell me about it, and I'll calculate it for you."

The woman nodded. "My husband, Song Xiao, and I met through a friend two years ago. We fell in love at first sight and got along very well."

We're not that old, so we're not in a rush to have children. Working in two different industries has made us quite happy.

He spoils me and understands me very well. My colleagues envy us as a couple.

Because I wasn't feeling well, he would still take the time to bring me ginger tea, and he would surprise me on every little holiday.

I thought we would live happily ever after. A while ago, I discussed with him whether we should have a child since we've been married for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he was extremely resistant after hearing this, saying that the two of them were still young and should focus on their careers!

But gradually I noticed something was wrong with him. Whenever it was late at night, he would stay in the toilet or on the balcony for almost one or two hours!

I also secretly observed him. He was looking at his phone, or more accurately, chatting with someone. He was speaking very softly, and although I couldn't hear what they were talking about, I could tell from his tone that he was very happy.

We use the same phone password, and I often check his phone. There's nothing unusual, but my intuition tells me something's up.

A couple of days ago, I confronted him and asked if he had a new girlfriend. I didn't expect him to fly into a rage and slap me.

Since then, we've been sleeping in separate rooms. I don't understand why he doesn't like me, or why he can't discuss things with me.

Even though he's been buying me flowers and gifts these past two days, telling me not to be sad and to just pretend he farted that day and I should hit him back, I feel like our relationship can never go back to what it was before.

So, Master, was everything he did just an act? Did he really have a new woman?

[It's a lie, absolutely a lie. He definitely has someone else, so he's deliberately acting exceptionally nice to you to cover up his insecurity.]

But that man treats her really well, better than many other women. What if he really does care? Don't be so paranoid.

[Is the person upstairs a man? Why are they siding with you men?]

"Haven't you been back to your parents' home in a long time?"

Yu Xinyao was stunned. She didn't seem to have mentioned anything, yet he could still calculate this. It seems that finding Master Gu was definitely the right decision!

She nodded!

"It's 6:30 pm now. Don't hang up the live stream. Go back to your parents' house. Stop when you get there and follow my instructions. Twenty minutes is enough time for me to eat, and the fans can have dinner too. We'll continue later."

What's going on? She's going back to her parents' home; has something happened there?

[I'm so worried! Hurry back! What if something happens?]

[I have a bad feeling about this. I don't dare to say anything recklessly online, for fear of being cyberbullied. I'll wait for the master to reveal the secret.]

When some fans wanted to send comments, they found that there was no one in front of the camera anymore. Oh well!

Even someone as accomplished as a master needs to eat.

Eating rice is the most important thing!

Yu Xinyao was also a little nervous. She was about to call her brother from her maternal family, but then she remembered what the master had said and decided to go there first.

The live stream wasn't turned off; the camera kept shaking, so it seemed like she had gone out!

Song Xiao texted him that he was coming home late tonight. She was used to it and kept telling him to forgive her. In the past six months, when had he not come home late every night?

Twenty minutes later, she got off the bus with the gifts she had bought. It gets dark early where she lives; it was completely dark before 7 p.m.!

Her brother lived in the new rural area, at the first house at the village entrance, so she stopped at the village entrance and turned her gaze to the end of the village.

The dim streetlights shone on the woman, making her appear exceptionally destitute.

The camera shakes for a moment, and Gu Yunxi reappears. I have to say, her brother's cooking skills are really good.

Especially the braised fish, the taste is absolutely amazing! But let's get back to the main point!

"Yu Xingyao, have you arrived yet?"

Yu Xingyao switched the camera to an exterior shot, seemingly standing at the entrance of a village, facing the gate of a house. "This is my brother's house, and also my maternal home. My parents are gone, and my maternal home is just my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. Do I need to go in now?"

"No need! Just wait at the intersection, find a dimly lit place, your husband will be here soon."

"My...husband? Isn't he working overtime?"
