In Gu Yuchuan's mind, Tong Xinyue has always been a thoughtful, sensitive and fragile little girl.
She must have been extremely upset to have told him all this.
She really loved him.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Yuchuan felt even more heartbroken.
"Don't listen to what outsiders say. Yue'er, you just need to remember that no matter what, you are the only woman I truly love."
Tong Xinyue felt much better after receiving his promise.
"It's getting late, let me take you home first."
"good."
The two concealed themselves with their sleeves, walking hand in hand through a secluded alley.
Just as they turned a corner, Tong Xinyue suddenly took advantage of the fact that no one was around and the sky was dark, and once again threw herself into Gu Yuchuan's arms.
Before Gu Yuchuan could speak, tears were already streaming down her face as she sobbed and whispered her pleas.
"Cousin, can you promise me you won't have anything to do with that bad woman?"
Tong Xinyue raised her finger and stroked it up his waist, across his Adam's apple, and finally gently pressed it against his lips.
Her eyes were filled with affection and adoration as she looked at Gu Yuchuan, and she said coquettishly:
"Your body, your beautiful lips, and everything about you, is mine."
Gu Yuchuan felt a tightening in his lower abdomen as Tong Xinyue stared at him, and he instantly felt aroused.
"Don't worry, I belong to you completely."
He took Tong Xinyue's hand, kissed it, and made all sorts of promises.
"Only you are worthy to be the woman standing next to me. As for Shen Ling, I feel disgusted even looking at her."
Tong Xinyue blushed deeply, and just as she said coquettishly, "Cousin, you're so kind," Gu Yuchuan grabbed her waist and kissed her fiercely.
The two pressed themselves against the wall, kissing passionately.
In the quiet alley, you can even hear the gurgling sound of water.
Gu Yuchuan was in the prime of his life, and he couldn't stand it. He lifted Tong Xinyue's clothes and put his hand inside.
"Moon, we haven't tried being outside yet, how about tonight...?"
Tong Xinyue giggled, amused: "Cousin, you're so naughty."
After saying this, the two of them, panting heavily, quickened their pace.
By this time, most of the people in the courtyard were preparing to rest.
Only Cheng Xiangling couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
The thought of her sister's miserable life after marriage, and how she couldn't even afford good food while pregnant, made her feel extremely upset.
Thinking that the shops on the street would probably close late, she decided to go out alone to buy some fruit for Cheng Wan.
But Cao Tongwen absolutely cannot find out about this, otherwise she will definitely complain that it's a waste of money and forbid her from going.
Cheng Xiangling tiptoed along the way, keeping her steps very light, afraid of being seen by others.
But before they had gone halfway there, they heard a strange groan coming from the alley next to them.
Cheng Xiangling is young and completely clueless when it comes to relationships.
She was terrified by the sound and didn't think of anything else, assuming that someone was unwell and was screaming so loudly.
"I don't know anyone in this tenement. If I hadn't rashly gone to help..."
Cheng Xiangling hesitated, clenching her fists tightly. She thought she should wait until she had confirmed the situation before going to avoid any misunderstandings.
But when she listened carefully, her ears immediately felt offended.
Good heavens, isn't that Gu from across the street?
The two families lived so close to each other that Cheng Xiangling, though not very familiar with Gu Yuchuan and his wife Shen Ling, still recognized them.
If we bump into each other occasionally, we'll nod or something as a greeting.
But the woman who was pinned against the wall by Gu Yuchuan was clearly not his wife!
Cheng Xiangling's worldview was shattered.
If she keeps looking, she'll really go blind.
If someone were to witness such a disgraceful act, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Cheng Xiangling quickly held her breath and tiptoed away, trying to escape.
But as soon as he turned around, he accidentally kicked a beverage bottle that was lying on the ground.
The clanging sound was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Gu Yuchuan and Tong Xinyue, who were busy working and sweating profusely, were startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look over.
By the moonlight, Cheng Xiangling could see the two people's faces clearly at once, and she was completely stunned.
If she remembered correctly, this woman should be Gu Yuchuan's cousin, right?
How could the two of them actually roll around together and do such a thing?
Gu Yuchuan reacted a beat late and quickly used his body to completely shield Tong Xinyue.
Cheng Xiangling was terrified that she would be retaliated against if she discovered their affair.
She quickly touched her forehead, pretending to be anemic and dizzy.
"Oh dear, I shouldn't have skipped dinner tonight because I was trying to lose weight. Now I can't see anything at all while I'm walking."
She kept saying how many stars were in front of her, then turned around, letting her arms hang down below her knees, bending her legs into an X shape, and limping away.
That figure looked like it was possessed by a zombie; it was incredibly bizarre.
Cheng Xiangling rolled her eyes frantically while secretly glancing at the reactions of the two people behind her.
Seeing that Gu Yuchuan and Tong Xinyue were both shocked by her "sudden onset of a serious illness," she quickly ran away.
By the time the two realized what was happening and tried to chase after her to stop her, Cheng Xiangling had already vanished from the alley.
