Tang Zihao's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, scaring the two guilty-looking people half to death.
The two quickly separated and then straightened their clothes.
Mu Wanzhi felt somewhat annoyed and also afraid. If her son knew that she was doing this with Chen Zhe in the room, he would definitely be very disappointed in her.
"Chen Zhe, we can't let Zihao in!"
Chen Zhe nodded. He had almost lost his senses just now, and looking back, it was really dangerous. He was somewhat glad that Tang Zihao had come, but at the same time, he didn't want Tang Zihao to find out that his mother was in his room.
If I were to speak up now, it might take a long time to explain.
The best way is to not speak and remain silent.
Tang Zihao knocked on the door for several minutes, and then there was no response.
Chen Zhe went to the door and looked out through the peephole.
"How is it? Did he go back?"
Mu Wanzhi asked worriedly.
Chen Zhe nodded; "I can't see him anymore, he should have gone back."
Mu Wanzhi patted her chest and took a deep breath. The impulsive feeling she had just felt had been greatly dispelled by her son's shout.
Chen Zhe said at the right moment, "Sister Mu, you should go back quickly, I'm afraid he'll come over again later."
Mu Wanzhi hesitated for a moment. She had finally mustered up the courage to come over, and if Chen Zhe tried to persuade her to stay, she would definitely not leave tonight.
Since Chen Zhe had already said that, she couldn't stay any longer, no matter how thick-skinned she was. She nodded awkwardly.
"Well... let's talk about it next time..."
Before Chen Zhe could agree, Mu Wanzhi opened the door and slipped out. She walked very quickly, as if afraid that Chen Zhe would refuse.
Chen Zhe let out a heavy sigh of relief after closing the door.
When he was penniless and powerless, he couldn't experience this kind of temptation at all, because no beautiful woman would tempt a loser like him. But as he climbed up the ladder step by step, he faced more and more temptations. He knew the way the female employees in the club looked at him. He knew that if he beckoned with his finger, countless girls would be willing to throw themselves at him.
This was a blessing he had always dreamed of, and he had once thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.
But... he really didn't want to lose Xie Yuhan.
Xie Yuhan was willing to get close to him when he was poor and powerless, and she never looked at him with strange eyes when he became rich and powerful. Her eyes were always so pure and innocent. If you miss out on a girl like this, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
"It seems I still need to work on my mindset. No wonder Xiaoyu's grandfather treated me like this; he must have foreseen that I would face this. Sigh, it's really hard to resist temptation. What should I do?"
...
Mu Wanzhi had just returned to her room and was about to open the door when Tang Zihao's voice rang out beside her.
"Mom, it's so late, where are you going?"
After returning to his room, Tang Zihao thought about it again and decided to go find Chen Zhe again. Chen Zhe said he would help him get revenge on Mu Xiaoyu, and he couldn't wait a moment longer.
Tang Zihao's voice startled Mu Wanzhi, causing her hand to tremble and the room card to fall to the ground.
She then hurriedly picked it up.
"I...I feel a bit stuffy in the room, I'm going out for some fresh air."
"Breathable?"
Tang Zihao checked the time and then noticed his mother's clothes.
A sense of danger suddenly welled up in his heart.
[Did Mom go see a man?]
He felt a little upset. He strongly resisted his mother finding another man, and he didn't want to see a third person involved in their family.
He really wanted to ask for clarification, but then he thought about what Chen Zhe had said tonight.
He held back.
[Perhaps I've been too demanding of my mother. I shouldn't have been so selfish; she also has the right to find happiness.]
"Zihao, you should go to sleep. I'm a little sleepy too. We need to get up early tomorrow to go back."
Feeling guilty, Mu Wanzhi didn't dare to say too much to her son, fearing that she would give herself away if she said too much. She opened the door, went in, and then quickly closed it again.
Tang Zihao felt a pang of sadness after the door closed. Although he was beginning to understand his mother, he still couldn't quite accept it all at once.
My mother probably went to see another man tonight; when she came back, she didn't even want to say a few words to me.
He felt as if he had lost his affection, a feeling that was not much better than heartbreak.
He arrived at Chen Zhe's door in a depressed mood and then knocked.
A few minutes later, Chen Zhe opened the door.
He was wearing pajamas and pretending to be very sleepy.
He stretched and yawned.
"What's wrong, Brother Tang? I've already gone to bed."
Chen Zhe's performance was excellent; Tang Zihao couldn't detect anything amiss, or rather, he wasn't even looking at Chen Zhe. All he could think about was that his mother must have gone to see another man earlier.
Is her lover here? Who exactly is that person? Could he be a bodyguard?
He plopped down on the tatami mat in the living room.
His face was full of worry.
Chen Zhe walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Tang Zihao hesitated for a moment, then sighed.
It seems that Chen Zhe is the only person he can confide in now.
"It seems like my mom has a boyfriend."
This sentence startled Chen Zhe.
[Holy crap, did this kid discover something?]
"Uh... really? You're overthinking it."
"When I passed by her door just now, I saw that she had just come back. She was wearing a rather... indecent outfit, and her face was flushed. She looked nervous when she talked to me. My intuition is right, she definitely has a man."
Chen Zhe swallowed hard, feeling a little guilty.
"Hmm, do you have any clues?"
Tang Zihao shook his head; "No, I suspected the bodyguard just now, but it didn't quite make sense. This bodyguard has been with us for many years. If something had happened, it would have happened long ago, and I should have known by now. So it's obviously not him."
"You might be overthinking it. She might have gone downstairs for a drink. Her flushed face is probably from the alcohol..."
Tang Zihao paused for a moment.
"She does seem to have a bit of a smell of alcohol."
"Well! That's it then. She probably has a lot on her mind, and you two had another argument tonight, so she's feeling a bit down. She went out and had a few drinks, and you said something that upset her tonight, so it's normal that she doesn't want to talk to you right now."
Upon hearing Chen Zhe's words, Tang Zihao felt a sense of relief.
"That's right!! You're right! That should be it. I knew it. My mom wouldn't just date any random guy."
Tang Zihao had even wondered if his mother might be meeting up with some random men outside. If that were the case, he would be heartbroken.
However, Chen Zhe's words made perfect sense. He had indeed said hurtful things to his mother tonight, and it would be difficult for her to forgive him so quickly.
It's normal to be a little cold to yourself.
In addition, he didn't want to believe that his mother was the kind of person who would mess around recklessly.
He became increasingly certain.
"That's right!! You're right!! It seems I misunderstood my mom. I'm fucking deserving of death, my heart is so dirty!"
Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; "That's right, you must trust your mother. She's a very principled person. If she really has a boyfriend, she will definitely tell you in advance."
"Yes, I definitely will."
Tang Zihao was finally happy.
Suddenly, he noticed a pair of women's slippers at his feet.
He couldn't help but pick it up; "Brother Chen, how come you have women's slippers here?"
A sense of unease flashed through Chen Zhe's mind, but he quickly regained his composure.
He said quite naturally, "There are slippers for both men and women in the room, that's normal, your room has them too."
Just as Tang Zihao was about to believe it, he turned his head and saw another pair of neatly arranged women's slippers next to him.
"Wait a minute! Then why is there another pair? There can't be two pairs of women's slippers in a room. A woman must have been in your room!!"
After Tang Zihao said those words, he was suddenly startled.
He recalled that his mother hadn't been wearing shoes just now. Could it be...?
