The white Cadillac slowly drove into the garage below.
The car door opened, and Gu Nanqiao took a deep breath before she reached into her bag for the keys and walked up the stairs to the entrance.
As she reached the bedroom door, she grasped the doorknob, and her sharp nails stabbed into her palm.
But the pain spreading through her heart made this physical pain seem so trivial.
Three years into their marriage, he had ignored her while scandals about him spread everywhere, and she had tolerated it.
But no matter what he did, there was a limit, and he had crossed her bottom line.
The door was slightly ajar, and Gu Nanqiao's gaze fell on that woman's face, only to find yet another unfamiliar face.
This cruel scene made her heart tremble uncontrollably, and ultimately, she couldn't bear it and turned away from the bedroom door.
In the living room, there was a soft, comfortable sofa bed. She walked over, sat down, closed her eyes, and curled up.
Her features were delicate, a textbook beauty, and even without makeup, she was on par with top actresses in the entertainment industry.
But now, there were faint bluish-black marks under her eyes, and between her brows was an undeniable weariness.
She had been up for several nights perfecting the tender project for Jinjue Group. At three in the morning, Fu Lingfeng had called her back home... to witness this scene.
After more than half an hour, Fu Lingfeng emerged from inside.
Gu Nanqiao looked up at him, her face gradually turning pale, and a flicker of pain crossed the depths of her eyes.
"Did you need something important from me?" she asked, clenching her hands at her sides. She summoned all her strength to push the mist from her eyes, "If you just wanted me to watch a show, then I'm done."
She paused, then added, "If there's nothing else, I should leave. I have a lot of work to finish."
Fu Lingfeng's voice was hoarse and mixed with an undeniable coldness, "I hope you voluntarily give up on the Jinjue Group's tender."
"Why?" she asked impulsively.
She had worked so hard for this tender plan and had just managed to nail it today. Why give it up voluntarily?
Fu Lingfeng sneered, "No reason, it just displeases me."
Gu Nanqiao stared at the face that was so close yet untouchable, feeling a buzzing in her head.
Especially his scent, it made her feel like her entire head was about to explode.
"Fu Lingfeng, I don't have time for your nonsense right now."
She didn't want to say another word, got up from the sofa, and tried to leave.
"Gu Nanqiao, are you deaf? Did you not hear what I just said?" the man's voice behind her was filled with clenched teeth.
She ignored him and continued walking.
But unexpectedly, after only a few steps, someone grabbed her wrist from behind.
"Ah—" Gu Nanqiao screamed instinctively, turned her head, and met Fu Lingfeng's furious face.
She felt a pang of panic, "What are you doing?"
