Chapter 5

When I arrived at Guanlan Park, Liang Chen was already waiting there.

I hadn’t gotten a good look at him yesterday.

Now, at first glance, he really did resemble the male lead of a currently popular TV drama.

I handed his watch back to him.

Smiling gently, I said, “Thank you for yesterday.”

He took the watch, his gaze sweeping over me briefly.

Then, with two faint dimples appearing on his cheeks, he said, “You’re welcome. This is for you.”

In his hand was a transparent bottle filled with colorful candies.

“I noticed you have low blood sugar, so I specifically prepared this for you.”

“You can keep some candy in your bag when you go out.”

Such a cliché trick to charm young girls. If I were 18, I might have fallen for it.

But I’m 30 now.

Even so, I quickly slipped into the role.

My eyes reddened slightly, and I deliberately turned my head to avoid his gaze.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

I sniffled on purpose, and when I looked up again, I smiled as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing.”

A trace of surprise flickered in his eyes, and within that surprise, there seemed to be a hint of pity.

The kind of pity that comes naturally to men-the desire to be a hero, to protect the weak.

We strolled through the park.

I didn’t hide the fact that I had a husband. On the contrary, I brought it up openly.

And in front of him, I kept praising Gu Yan as a great husband.

Every time I mentioned Gu Yan, he would press his lips together and smile without saying a word.

After we had walked a full circle around the park, he thoughtfully offered to buy some water.

As he left, he accidentally left his phone on the park bench.

At that moment, two messages popped up on his phone screen.

The main screen displayed:

[How’s the progress?]

[Women in their early thirties like her are easy to reel in. I heard she even dressed up today?]

[Hurry up. I’ll take care of her husband, you take care of her, and in the end, all their money will be ours.]

So their goal was money?

Before coming here, I had my doubts.

Did Liang Chen know that Hu Feier often came to see Gu Yan in the middle of the night?

Did he know they had slept together?

Or was Hu Feier playing both sides?
