His car didn’t take the road back home, instead it headed down another route.
Gu Lili followed silently behind, trailing him all the way to the upscale community of Yunanyuan.
She didn’t follow him into the complex because she couldn’t enter without an access card.
So she had no choice but to park her car on the street outside the complex and wait for someone to come out. When someone did exit, Gu Lili approached, made an excuse, and managed to drive in.
She drove slowly, scanning for Long Yubei’s car and person.
She didn’t find him, but she did spot his car.
Long Yubei’s figure flashed by as he entered a supermarket, so she parked her car and gave him a call.
"Honey, where are you?"
"Don’t wait for dinner, eat first."
She frowned, "I’m asking where you are."
"Where else would I be? Working overtime at the office."
Gu Lili felt a sudden clutch of alarm in her heart, this guy was clearly lying!
Could he be keeping a woman here?
It was hard not to think that way.
"Oh, then keep working overtime. I’ll go out for a stroll too, bye."
Without waiting for his response, she hung up.
Humph, working overtime at the office?!
She was determined to see just exactly what kind of schemes he was cooking up behind her back! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ⓝovelFire.net
With a mask and sunglasses in hand, she got out of her car and entered the supermarket as well.
She followed discreetly and found him actually shopping for snacks.
He picked a big bag of them and proceeded to check out.
Gu Lili trailed him out of the supermarket, making sure to stand far enough away to avoid his detection.
Dressed in a thin black suit, Long Yubei walked with an even and leisurely pace, turning into a building’s stairwell.
The moment the elevator doors had just closed, Gu Lili dashed up the stairs. If it weren’t for her good physical condition and speed, she would never have caught up to the elevator Long Yubei took.
Panting heavily, she ran up to the 8th floor, leaning against the wall for breath. She poked her head out slightly and saw Long Yubei standing with a bag of snacks at the door of room 801.
He didn’t ring the doorbell but entered the password as if entering his own home and went right in.
As the door closed, Gu Lili’s face was full of confusion. She bit her lip, then instead of pressing for 801, she pressed for 802.
Room 802 was inhabited by a middle-aged couple who didn’t follow the news or anything, so naturally, they didn’t recognize Gu Lili.
"Big sister, who lives opposite your place?"
"A young woman with a daughter about one or two years old. Although we’re neighbors, we’ve never interacted; I don’t know her name."
"What about the child’s father?"
The lady of the house shook her head, "Never seen him."
"Okay, thank you for your time."
Gu Lili went back to the stairwell, her heart filled with an inexplicable unease.
If it was a friend or relative he knew well, he could have just told her outright, so why the need to lie?
A young woman and a daughter about one to two years old.
No matter how Gu Lili thought about it, to be familiar enough to have the home’s security code memorized, there must be at least a very trusting relationship.
Whether he had rolled in the sheets with other women before her, only he knew, claiming it was his first time with her - men didn’t have a hymen, who knows the truth!
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it rapidly grows in the heart.
If this was just Gu Lili’s own speculation, then the scene of Long Yubei coming out two hours later deeply infuriated her.
She waited two hours and finally saw him emerge, smiling as he carried a one or two-year-old girl, with a young and beautiful woman by his side. The woman was dressed in a blue dress, her fair and slender legs accentuated by high heels.
