When Shen Manbing left, she was drunk and slumped against Shen Shichuan’s back, repeatedly murmuring, “Why, why did it happen like this…”

After Shen Manbing and Shen Shichuan left.

The private room quietened for a while.

Mu Liancheng found it quite awkward. A decent birthday party had unexpectedly turned into a battleground between Young Master Gu’s two women.

Seeing Shen Manbing’s state earlier, Xia Yangyang actually felt quite distressed as well.

She tugged at Gu Qi Chen’s sleeve and said, “I want to go home now.”

Gu Qi Chen said to Mu Liancheng: “Liancheng, we are leaving first. Sorry about today’s mess, we owe you an apology for next time.”

Mu Liancheng pat Gu Qi Chen’s shoulder, showing understanding, he said softly: “Go home and soothe your wife. Younger girls tend to overthink things more.”

Xue Shaotang teased from the side: “Liancheng seems to have experience. Isn’t your wife about the same age as my sister-in-law?”

Xia Yangyang still seemed a bit dazed even after getting into the car.

Gu Qi Chen stroked Xia Yangyang’s hair: “What’s wrong?”

Xia Yangyang suddenly turned her head and asked with a look of confusion: “Why did you choose me?”

Gu Qi Chen was a bit baffled: “What do you mean?”

Xia Yangyang said, somewhat dejected: “Can the decade-long relationship you had with Shen Manbing not compare to our fleeting feelings? Why…did you choose to marry me?”

What Xia Yangyang was even more curious about was why Gu Qi Chen so adamantly stood on her side.

She couldn’t think of a reason. She had always considered herself to be just a band-aid for Gu Qi Chen’s emotional wounds.

She just happened to show up at the right time.

If that’s the case, now that Shen Manbing is back, Gu Qi Chen’s unwavering stance makes her doubt him.

She wonders if Gu Qi Chen has another plan in mind.

Xia Yangyang even started suspecting whether Gu Qi Chen was using her to gauge Shen Manbing’s intentions.

If that was the case…

Xia Yangyang’s eyes dimmed.

It seemed like Gu Qi Chen was also taken aback by this question and took a while to respond.

Xia Yangyang’s heart felt like it was slowly sinking into the sea. Did she guess correctly?

“Yangyang, I’ll tell you the truth. Promise not to be angry,” Gu Qi Chen suddenly said seriously.

Xia Yangyang’s heart tightened: “Go ahead. No matter what the reason, I can handle it. I just want to know the real answer.”

While Xia Yangyang said this, she felt an inexplicable pain in her chest.

She probably guessed it right.

Gu Qi Chen started speaking earnestly: “This question has also been troubling me. But then I thought about it, you are probably the only one bold enough to be aggressive with me.”

Xia Yangyang was suddenly taken aback: “What did you say?”

Gu Qi Chen seemed to recall something and a faint smile appeared on his lips: “Don’t you remember? That night, you pulled me into the room and pounced on me like a small wild beast. You almost tied me up and had your way with me…I couldn’t resist at all.”

Gu Qi Chen was obviously referring to the time they first met.

But at that time, Xia Yangyang was drunk as a skunk.

All she remembered was waking up the next day with a stranger beside her.

She had no recollection of what happened.

As Gu Qi Chen brought it up, her face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

She was embarrassed and flustered: “You must be joking, you’re 6 feet tall, if you didn’t want it, who could force you?”

Gu Qi Chen had a wronged look on his face: “You don’t remember how you were then. You were like a crazy person, surprisingly strong. I truly couldn’t resist.

You even ripped my clothes.. I still have that garment, I can show you when we get home if you don’t believe me!”
