Staring intently at him, he remained composed and said, "Okay, wait a bit. I’ll hurry over..."

On the other end, the voice, even more charming, asked, "What do you like to eat? Anything you particularly favor?"

"Whatever you decide, I’m not picky."

"I remember you like F Country cuisine. There’s an excellent F Country chef here..."

"Thank you. I appreciate the effort. See you soon."

"Okay, I’ll be waiting. Don’t rush. Drive carefully... Donglin, see you soon."

"Goodbye."

TSK, TSK, TSK, how intimate, how coy. Truly befitting an actress, it was enough to give her goosebumps.

Donglin—Donglin—was there really any need to call him so affectionately?

Yan Xixi placed his phone aside for him, but he remained as cool as a cucumber.

What was going on? Could someone showing signs of infidelity behave so nonchalantly? A thought struck her. This guy has had special training; perhaps he’s intentionally trying to create confusion.

"Donglin... be careful... drive slowly... I’m so worried about your safety. Don’t rush; I’ll wait patiently for you..." Yan Xixi cooed, mimicking the other woman.

Her saccharine tone could make even Lin Zhiling sound plain by comparison.

Wan Donglin nearly choked with laughter at her earnest impersonation.

She grew annoyed. "What are you laughing at? Don’t you have a guilty conscience?"

"I do. My heart is home to many lechers."

She fumed, "Hey, you big slob, don’t think you can fool me! I almost forgot, I saw that picture of you with Rina on a beach in Hawaii... The man in sunglasses was definitely you... I recognize your silhouette... The more I think about it, that woman is not as simple as she seems. Really, she’s absolutely not just a celebrity..."

Actually, ever since her second meeting with Rina, she’d felt something was amiss.

These days, many female celebrities weren’t just celebrities. They also had other, secret identities. Otherwise, how could it be that behind every fallen high-ranking official, there was a group of female celebrities?

Perhaps their celebrity status made it more convenient for them to handle other... affairs.

He chuckled. "So what?"

She immediately pounced on his casual dismissal. "Then why did you give her such a huge diamond ring? It was as big as a pigeon’s egg! Hmph! Don’t think I won’t pursue this. On what grounds did you...?"

He feigned surprise. "Am I not allowed to give gifts to other women?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Why?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Didn’t you say you love me? Didn’t you propose to me? If I marry you, won’t we be family? And since we’d be family, wouldn’t everything you own also be mine...?"

She declared confidently, "If you’re giving *my* things to other women, don’t you think I have the right to intervene?"

Wan Donglin was speechless. "..."

"You big slob, let this be the last time! You’re not allowed to give gifts to any other woman ever again."

He nodded immediately. "As you command. I’ll be sure to remember: no gifts for any other woman."

She glared at him. "Of course, *I’m* an exception. And the Empress Dowager and the Princess are exceptions too."

"Anyone else who can be excluded?"

"Your female cousins and the like can also be excluded. And in the future, if we have daughters, they’ll naturally be exceptions too... Basically, blood relatives are exceptions. But absolutely no other women!"

The number one rule for a wife: never let any woman who isn’t a blood relative get too close to your husband.

He burst out laughing. "You heard her. Rina invited me to dinner. So, what are you going to do?"

Her eyes widened. "Of course, I’m going with you!"

Wan Donglin was silent again. "..."

"Hmph! I’m going along to see exactly what kind of exotic delicacies she plans to treat you to. I refuse to believe she can serve up tiger or panda meat for the occasion!"
