Hearing that his son had also been targeted, Mr. Gu said at once, "You be careful too."
"My life’s a tough one, those thieving bastards and harlots won’t get their hands on me that easily."
Gu Li’s mother’s face turned ashen, and she said with gravity, "On the surface, the world seems peaceful, but dangers lurk in the shadows. It’s better if everyone is more cautious."
After receiving a string of over a dozen messages, Long Yubei couldn’t ignore them even if he wanted to.
Gu Lili had gone to the gym to run, and her phone was charging on the table.
With a book in his right hand, he picked up her phone with his left.
Upon opening a text message from an unknown number, Long Yubei’s expression changed instantly.
[Even though you didn’t give me your number, I still found a way to get it. Surprised or not surprised?!]
[I heard your husband brought home his mistress and love child. You haven’t returned to Qin Garden in the past few days—is it because you had a fight with him over this?]
[Are you two getting a divorce? When will it be? I hope that day comes sooner.]
[Gu Lili, I’ll wait for you. As soon as you’re divorced, I’ll immediately marry you.]
As Long Yubei read these messages, he threw the book from his right hand far away.
With both hands, he frantically pretended to be his own wife to reply: [You’re overthinking it. That’s just my husband’s goddaughter and a friend’s woman. My husband is not that kind of person, and we will not get a divorce. Get that idea out of your head!]
After sending it, Long Yubei felt it wasn’t enough, quickly adding: [My husband treats me very well. He’s the only one in my heart, and I will never leave him. No other man can compare to him, so don’t contact me again, you bastard.]
After angrily deleting the text message history in one breath, Long Yubei still couldn’t calm down. He couldn’t believe that there were men coveting his wife!

Just then, Gu Lili pushed the door open and returned. After a quick shower, she noticed his grim expression and his holding of her phone, and asked, "What are you doing with my phone?"
"Some unknown number sent you a bunch of texts, talking about marrying you once you get a divorce..." Long Yubei pressed on, "Who is this person?"
Gu Lili, with a clear conscience, replied candidly, "It’s probably Antonio. He’s a senior international student at A city’s university, the heir to the Anton Family. Remember when I went to do the legal thing at the university? He’s the one who pulled off my head cover. I’ve mentioned him to you before; the day you brought me back from the bar, he was there too. Just a chance encounter at the bar."
"He says he likes you."
"I know, he’s told me before. So what?" Gu Lili applied her facial mask and climbed onto the bed beside him, "Is it that only you are allowed to be fancied by other vixens, but no one else can like me?"
"No," his cold eyes made it clear to her, "Gu Lili, if I find out you’re playing with fire with another man, you’ll definitely die a most unsightly death."
