"It’s not just that she’s angry, I think she might be feeling a bit upset." Lu Xingzhi also tends to protect her own, she feels that Helian Xi is upset because Gu Jin Yan didn’t handle his relationships with women well.

In this regard, Huo Jincheng handles things very well.

If he’s not interested in someone, he won’t give her any illusions.

Yet, Helian Xi has been upset about such things several times.

"In these matters, one didn’t handle it well and the other was raised spoiled since childhood. Xiao Xi hopes Jin Yan will prioritize her, while Jin Yan hopes to excel in his career. He also has ambitions and doesn’t want others to say the Gu Family is inferior to the Helian Family."

Huo Jincheng sat beside her, "Don’t worry about them; twenty years of feelings aren’t fake."

"I hope so." Lu Xingzhi nodded, it should be that way!

Meanwhile, Helian Xi returned home, and Gu Jin Yan eagerly welcomed her, "Honey, you’re back. I’m just finishing cooking."

"Where’s Little Crab?" Helian Xi is more concerned about the child now.

Since Gu Jin Yan can’t care about her so much, she won’t like him that much either.

Gu Jin Yan didn’t realize the change in Helian Xi, only thought she was still angry.

"Little Crab is asleep."

"Oh!" Helian Xi went to the room to check on Little Crab, saw he was sleeping soundly, and went out.

"Honey, let’s eat! I made all your favorite dishes today." Gu Jin Yan invited her favorably, "Xiao Xi, I swear to you, I’m really just cooperating with Liu Xuehan’s family, you have to trust me."

Gu Jin Yan didn’t know how to explain anymore, he’s truly not interested in other women, yet Helian Xi always ends up arguing with him over matters like these.

"Mm, I know." Of course Helian Xi knows, but she doesn’t like it.

It’s not that she can’t accept her husband having female friends, but whether they’re friends or others, there must be boundaries.

Clearly knowing that person is just a manipulator, yet not decisively rejecting her.

So what if there’s cooperation.

Helian Xi maliciously thought, if she gets really angry, she could directly have her dad acquire Liu’s company, since they rely on cooperation for these antics, without that reliance, she wonders if this so-called young lady would still dare to tempt a married man.

"Xiao Xi, Liu Xuetong is my good friend, that’s his sister. I can’t be too harsh, you know?" Gu Jin Yan tried to make Helian Xi understand.

"Mm." Helian Xi didn’t want to say much, didn’t want to listen.

How many such sisters are there?

If every good friend’s sister likes you, do you need to take care of all of them?

Gu Jin Yan saw Helian Xi didn’t argue this time, nor got angry, thinking she finally figured it out.

Yet somehow, he felt a bit off inside.

"Xiao Xi, I might be busy tomorrow. I might be busy until the day before New Year’s." Gu Jin Yan cautiously said.

"I know, go ahead and be busy!"

"Xiao Xi, are you still angry?" Gu Jin Yan couldn’t quite tell, even though Helian Xi’s attitude softened, he didn’t feel very comfortable inside.

"You’re so annoying, can you eat quietly?" Helian Xi really found his voice annoying, put down her bowl and chopsticks, completely lost her appetite.

"Alright, alright, you eat first. Be good! I won’t say anything." Gu Jin Yan hurriedly admitted his mistake and kept quiet.
