Recently, the Rong family has been dealing with a lot of things, and he has tried to find out more than once.

With Rongxin not coming back and Qingren Lane being a haven of gentle pleasures, he couldn't help but succumb to it and hadn't been home for many days.

Moreover, he had urged Rong Xin to come back before, but she kept making excuses not to return, saying that Gu Rong was unwilling to go back.

But he had also found out that Rong Liancheng, that old bastard, had taken Rong Xin to the next city and stayed there for two days before returning.

He had always suspected that the other party had gone to hide something, and that the Rong family was preparing to run away.

But they didn't inform him, and it was obvious that Rong Xin didn't intend to leave, which meant that Rong Liancheng would leave something for Rong Xin.

But considering that no one had lived in the house for several days, Gu Qiang couldn't help but worry.

However, he didn't show much emotion, and smiled at the gatekeeper: "Thank you, uncle, I'll go back now."

After leaving the factory, Gu Qiang did not go straight back, but went to Qingren Lane.

Bai Rou had just finished cooking when she heard a knock on the door. She went over and opened the door to see Gu Qiang. She immediately went up and hugged Gu Qiang, saying, "You're finally here! I've already cooked dinner. Come in and eat, and you can rest for a while after you finish eating."

Gu Qiang was somewhat distracted by Bai Rou's enthusiastic gestures, but Rong Xin was still waiting for him at home, and he might not be able to come again.

Gently pushing Bai Rou away, Gu Qiang whispered, "That old hag is back. She probably won't have a chance to come over for the next few days. I have to go back soon."

Hearing this, Bai Rou couldn't help but complain: "You've only been here a few days and you're already going back. Didn't you say the Rong family would soon be full? Why did she have to come back? She could have just died in the Rong family."

Hearing her loud voice, Gu Qiang couldn't help but frown: "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't hear you and trying to kill me?"

After hearing this, Bai Rou couldn't help but purse her lips, then rolled her eyes and said, "You are my everything. Even if I die, I would never want to kill you. I just can't bear to part with you!"

I've waited so many years, and you only spend a few days with me each year. Every time you come, you just do *that* and then leave. I always feel like we're not husband and wife, and that I'm just your mistress on the side, even though Rongxin is clearly the other woman.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiang couldn't help but feel sorry for Bai Rou, and hugged her in his arms to comfort her: "Don't worry, it will be soon. I will be able to marry you soon."

We'll soon be living a good life; that's the Rong family's property! Do you really want to give it up now? Xiaorou, can you wait a little longer?"

The reason Bai Rou followed Gu Qiang and became his mistress was solely for the sake of the Rong family's possessions.

Now that she had it in her grasp, Bai Rou naturally wasn't going to let it go. She gently blew on Gu Qiang's chest and said, "I've endured all these years just so you and the child could have a good life. Now that the good life is almost here, how could I possibly hold you back? Do you think I'm the kind of person who has no ambition?"

Gu Qiang looked down at Bai Rou and knew she was the same kind of person as him. He kissed her on the head and said, "Alright. I have to go back now, otherwise that white-faced woman will start to overthink things if it gets any later."

"Okay, go ahead," Bai Rou said reluctantly, nudging Gu Qiang as she watched him leave. She didn't close the door until she could no longer see him.

After the family had prepared the meal, they sat down at the table and waited for Gu Qiang.

According to normal circumstances, Gu Qiang should have been home long ago.

Rong Xin kept looking outside with a sullen face. After looking around several times, she turned to Gu Rong and Gu Xing and said, "Alright, let's eat. We won't wait for your dad. He's probably busy. Let's eat."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong couldn't help but purse her lips. What do you mean, "busy"? She's probably spending time with her lover in Qingren Lane!

Gu Rong ate her food with her head down, only picking out the meat. She not only ate it herself, but also put some on Gu Xing and Rong Xin's plates, leaving none for Gu Qiang.

Just as the last piece of meat was being swallowed, Gu Qiang pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing the three people sitting there eating, and realizing they weren't waiting for him, Gu Qiang's expression instantly turned sour.

But only for a moment, Gu Qiang's expression changed again, and he walked over with a joyful look, hugging Rong Xin tightly: "Wife, you're finally back! I missed you so much! I went to look for you a couple of days ago, but where were you? I asked my brother and the others, but they wouldn't tell me."

Rong Xin frowned and gently pushed him away: "I went to the next city to take care of some business. It's nothing serious. Where have you been these past few days?"

Gu Qiang then asked in a friendly tone, "What's so mysterious about it? Why don't you tell me?"

Rongxin said irritably, "You're not worried about your daughter being sick, and you're never home."

Gu Qiang's heart tightened upon hearing Rong Xin's words.

But seeing Rong Xin's expression, Gu Qiang felt relieved.

If Rong Xin had really discovered Bai Rou, things wouldn't be like this now; she would probably be unhappy because she found out he hadn't been home these past few days.

Gu Qiang hugged Rong Xin and said with a forced smile, "Of course I'm worried about Rong Bao being sick, but I don't know what you all did or where you went. I asked my brothers-in-law, but they wouldn't tell me."

I've been so worried every day that I can't eat. I can only focus on my work. And in order to bring you a better life, I've been going out to fix things for people after work. I'm afraid of being discovered, so I don't dare to come back."

As he spoke, Gu Qiang released Rong Xin, opened the bag he had brought back, and took out two dresses and a set of clothes: "These are what I bought with the money I earned during this time. I originally wanted to save up more to buy you a watch."

But the security guard told me that since you're back, he'll definitely have to spend time with you later, so he won't have time to go there. Instead, he just went and bought you some clothes. See if you like them?

Listening to Gu Qiang's words, Rong Xin looked at the dress he handed her. It was the one she had liked before, but hadn't bought because she felt she already had a similar one at home.

Looking at the dress, Rong Xin's discomfort vanished instantly, and her eyes even welled up with tears because of her misunderstanding of Gu Qiang: "I'm sorry, Xiao Qiang, I misunderstood you. I thought you... I thought you..."

Gu Qiang quickly hugged Rong Xin to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay. It's my fault for not explaining it to you beforehand. If anyone is to blame, it's me. I still have to go to work this afternoon. Let's eat first, and I'll talk to you properly when we get back."

Rongxin burst into laughter through her tears, took the dress, and her eyes were full of joy.

He pulled Gu Qiang to sit down and said, "Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold. After you finish eating, get a good night's sleep. We can talk about it when you get back tonight."

Gu Qiang smiled and nodded, then started eating, serving food to Rong Xin as he ate. Rong Xin ate with a sweet expression.

Gu Rong rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, "Hmph, all she does is sweet talk. Only Rong Xin would believe her."

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Rong Xin believing it is enough.
