Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing Tang Xue’s stubborn attitude, Chen Xi’s patience finally snapped. For the first time, he realized—how had he never noticed before?—that Tang Xue was someone who could lie so glibly without blinking. His expression cooled, his voice sharp as a whip.

"No need to explain," he cut her off icily. "I know how to tell right from wrong. Since she’s not with you, I’ll go find her myself."

Without another glance, Chen Xi turned on his heel and strode off, his long legs carrying him swiftly away.

Left behind, Tang Xue’s entire face darkened. Her heart twisted painfully. He’s in such a rush to find Gu Zi? Why? Could it be—

A terrible thought struck her like a bolt of lightning. Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes as she clutched Li Juan’s arm, sobbing, "Li Juan, do you think... do you think Chen Xi likes Gu Zi?"

Seeing her friend dissolve into tears, Li Juan hurried to comfort her.

"Tang Xue, what are you thinking? Gu Zi’s already married! Chen Xi is the second young master of the Chen family. No matter how outrageous he is, he wouldn’t go after another man’s wife. He must have some urgent reason to find her, that’s all."

But Tang Xue angrily brushed her hand away.

"He’s not even close to Gu Zi! What urgent matter could possibly be so important that he has to find her right now?" she snapped. "Go to the canteen yourself—I’m not eating."

With that, she covered her mouth with trembling fingers and fled in the direction of the dormitory, her figure trembling with emotion.

Meanwhile, Chen Xi had already rushed out of the university gates, scanning the streets like a hawk in search of Gu Zi’s figure.

Yesterday, his older brother had called from abroad with a solemn request: to keep an eye on Gu Zi and the children, and to patrol around the Su family’s home when possible.

Chen Xi had agreed without hesitation. He understood—the area around the Su house was far from safe. A woman raising three children on her own? It was a situation bound to attract trouble.

Thus, he had made up his mind to personally pick Gu Zi up from school whenever he could, just to deter any bad actors who might notice that no man was living at the Su residence.

Today, feeling slightly under the weather, he had missed his morning classes. But as the school day ended, he began to feel a little better. Not wanting to miss her, he rushed out—only to discover he was still a step too late.

Just as he approached his car, he spotted Gu Zi getting into a taxi a short distance away. By the time he thought to call out, the taxi had already sped off.

He clicked his tongue impatiently, jumped into his own car, and barked at the driver, "Take me straight to the Su family’s residence!"

The Chen family’s black sedan rolled to a stop at the open space in front of the Su home. As Chen Xi got out, ready to walk up and knock on the door, a suspicious movement caught his eye.

Someone was scrambling over the side wall of the Su family’s courtyard, sneaking in like a rat.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chen Xi charged forward, grabbed the intruder by the back of his shirt, and yanked him down hard.

"You brazen little thief!" Chen Xi snarled. "It’s not even dark yet, and you’ve already got the guts to climb into someone’s home?"
