"Honey, don''t overthink it!"


    Tang Chunjin stood up, took his wife''s hand, and smiled faintly, "Let''s go rest too!"


    "Ah...."


    "Why the sigh? Maybe Mingyu will even thank us in the future!"


    "I hope so!"


    Tang Chunjin''s wife''s emotions were veryplex.


    In this patriarchal society, no matter how high a woman''s status is, she still cannot escape being controlled....


    The backyard.


    Yan Mingyu''s hands uncontrobly tried to undo her nightgown as if there were raging mes inside her body. She felt that only by taking off her clothes would she cool down a bit.


    "President Yan!"


    Qin Yu was sweating profusely with anxiety, but he dared not approach for fear of losing control and pouncing on Yan Mingyu. All he could do was shout loudly, "Hold on, don''t let lust take control. I... I''m going to the bathroom...."


    After speaking, Qin Yu moved his feet with difficulty and entered the bathroom.


    He locked the door behind him and turned on the faucet, letting the cold water cascade over him.


    What was strange was...


    Even though the cold water was sshing on him, Qin Yu still felt as if mes were about to burst from within. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his neck emerged, squirming like earthworms.


    In the end, unable to bear it any longer, he could only hit his head against the wall repetitively.


    "Qin Yu...."


    Yan Mingyu could guess the lengths this man was going to in order to restrain himself.


    She felt both touched and guilty.


    Before, she had even suspected that it was he who had drugged her; how much that must have hurt him.


    All night....


    Yan Mingyu didn''t know how she had made it through the night, her body covered in sweat, feelingpletely drained.


    Qin Yu had it even worse; he didn''te out of the bathroom at all.


    On his forehead was a bruise as big as a fist, all from knocking against the wall the previous night.


    "You cane out now... I''m alright!"


    Yan Mingyu walked to the bathroom door and called out hoarsely.


    "Oh...."


    Qin Yu opened the door, saw Yan Mingyu with disheveled hair and ck rings under her eyes, and said with a bitter smile, "Being your bodyguard is truly one problem after another!"


    "I will get to the bottom of this matter!"


    Yan Mingyu said, biting her silver teeth.


    "Are you in a rush to go back to East Sea today? I''d like to catch a little sleep!"


    "Alright, I''ll wash my face and then sleep for a while too!"


    Yan Mingyu nodded.


    By the time she came out, Qin Yu was already snoring on the couch.


    She herself felt heavy-headed and light-footed as she walked into the bedroom and fell asleep on the bed.


    On Tang Chunjin''s side.


    A maid reported to him, "Miss Yan and her husband haven''t left their room at all."


    "Okay, you may go now!"


    Tang Chunjin waved his hand and, after the servant left, told his wife, "Hehe, looks like it worked. Young people are full of energy; they haven''t even gotten up yet!"


    "Ah, poor Mingyu, saddled with such a ''grandfather''...."


    It turned out that Tang Chunjin had received a call from Yan Mingyu''s grandfather the previous afternoon. Others might not know, but he was aware that the bodyguard by his granddaughter''s side was her husband from a sh marriage a year ago.


    A couple of days before, Yan Mingyu had mentioned wanting a divorce from Qin Yu, which had her grandfather in a frenzy.


    Seizing the opportunity of the young couple visiting Grandma Tang in Suzhou, he personally called Tang Chunjin, asking him to find a way to mend the rtionship between the young couple, even resorting to using drugs if necessary.


    Otherwise, if the two of them ended up getting a divorce, it would be a huge loss of face for the Yan Family.


    After receiving instructions from the old man, Tang Chunjin naturally did his utmost to solidify the marital rtionship between Yan Mingyu and Qin Yu.


    He even got a pack of potent drugs from a friend on the streets and ced it in the room''s aromatherapy diffuser.


    In the end, he locked the bedroom door to ensure nothing went wrong.


    "Alright, wife, they are husband and wife after all. It''s just a misunderstanding, and they don''t know it yet. After today, the old man will rify everything to them," Tang Chunjin said, holding his wife''s hand.


    "Mm... then I''ll go and have someone prepare lunch!"


    Tang Chunjin''s wife always felt somewhat dissatisfied with the old master of the Yan Family.


    What kind of grandfather was he, forcing his granddaughter into a shotgun marriage with a stranger and then using such methods to make them sleep together?


    It was just too much!


    Noon.


    After catching up on sleep all morning, Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu finally began to feel somewhat rejuvenated.


    Dressed and ready, they went to the living room, where Tang Chunjin''s family had already been waiting.


    During the meal, there wasughter and chatter as if they were utterly unaware of what had happened the night before.


    Mingyu couldn''t bring herself to confront them, so she kept her feelings bottled up inside.


    When it was time to say goodbye, Chunjin pulled Qin Yu aside to ask him something in a low voice, then showed a look of regret on his face.


    His wife also quietly said to Mingyu, "We know you have a lot of questions. Ask the old master when you get back, and everything will be clear!"


    "Okay,"


    Mingyu nodded.


    Then, Chunjin drove them to the airport.


    Once inside the terminal, Mingyu stared at Qin Yu and asked, "What did big brother say to you when we were leaving?"


    "Oh... He asked about what happenedst night,"


    Qin Yu responded.


    "And what did you say?"


    Mingyu pressed on.


    "I told the truth. You''re my boss, not my girlfriend. Even if we were both drugged, I wouldn''t dare do anything to you!"


    Qin Yu said, curling his lips.


    "After wend, take me directly to the Binjiang Avenue, No. 1 Manor,"


    Mingyu said and then headed for the security check.


    "Alright!"


    Qin Yu nodded, making a mental note.


    Evening.


    The two of them returned to East Sea and drove to a luxurious estate at the Binjiang Avenue.


    "You can go back now!"


    Mingyu said to Qin Yu after getting out of the car.


    "Alright, if you need me to pick you up, just call!"


    Qin Yu said, then hailed a taxi and got in.


    It wasn''t until the taxi had departed that Mingyu entered the passcode on the front gate and walked straight into the manor.


    Past the lush greenwn, one could see standalone vis.


    This was where three generations of the Yan Family had lived.


    Now, only the grandfather and a bunch of servants were left residing here.


    "Grandpa!"


    Upon entering the living room, Mingyu called out to the apron-d old man.


    "Mingyu, I knew you woulde, so I cooked some of your favorite dishes myself!"


    The old man wiped his hands on his apron and smiled as he invited her, "Come, sit down and taste whether grandpa''s cooking skills have deteriorated!"


    "Oh...."


    Looking at her grandfather''s solitary figure and elderly face, Mingyu felt a surge of sadness.


    She hade prepared to confront her grandfather aboutst night''s incident and how it was rted to him. But when the words reached her lips, she found she couldn''t voice them.


    "Mingyu, eat up!"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The grandfather served Mingyu some food before speaking slowly, "What do you think of Qin Yu?"


    "Which Qin Yu?"


    Mingyu frowned and asked.


    "Your ex-husband, and your current bodyguard, they seem to share the same name. Tell me, what are your impressions of both?"


    The grandfather looked at his granddaughter and said.


    "The Qin Yu I had a shotgun marriage with is just a scumbag. As for my bodyguard, he''s slightly better, but I also saw with my own eyes him hugging and cuddling other women behind his wife''s back. In short, men are no good!"


    Mingyu said with exasperation.
