Shen Lingfeng tidied up the kitchen and looked up at her serious expression.

"There’s a saying, ’A friend’s wife is not to be trifled with.’ You’re friends with Vice President Yang, how could you do this to him?" Gu Ziyou tried to remain calm, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit agitated as she spoke.

"What are you trying to say?" Shen Lingfeng put down what he was holding, looking at her with calm composure. "Or did someone say something they shouldn’t have?"

If he hadn’t come back so late that night, he would have gone to her place.

But he returned at midnight, and because of Yang Xiao’s matter, he had to take over a case of his and went on a business trip for two days.

While eating just now, he felt that Gu Ziyou seemed a bit distracted, possibly because of that day.

Had she been holding it in for so long, and finally couldn’t anymore?

"Nonsense? I just ran into Vice President Yang, and, and that girl at your place that day, Vice President Yang said she was his girlfriend." Gu Ziyou emphasized.

But even though she was so agitated, why did she feel that President Shen was particularly calm, as if expecting her to continue asking?

"Go on," Shen Lingfeng looked at her, finding that being questioned by her wasn’t so bad.

"It seems you know what I’m talking about. Since she’s Vice President Yang’s girlfriend, how could you do something that would betray him?" Gu Ziyou said righteously, "I despise people like that! It’s so immoral to casually ruin someone else’s relationship!"

"Are you done?"

Gu Ziyou felt like she was punching cotton, raising her head in frustration.

"Lin Yan has always been his girlfriend. The two of them are both my good friends," Shen Lingfeng said slowly. "But because of some disagreements, they often argue. Yang Xiao is a bit immature, and whenever this happens, he disappears on her."

"So you played the central air conditioner?" Even though Gu Ziyou didn’t fully understand what was going on, hearing his patient tone eased her anger by half. "When she can’t find her boyfriend, she comes to you to complain? And how does she have a key to your place?"

Shen Lingfeng leaned against the dining table, staring at her little face and continued, "It’s not complaining. When I was still abroad, I entrusted Yang Xiao to buy this house for me. Lin Yan originally thought it was Yang Xiao’s house and took a set of keys. This time, she suddenly came not only to return the keys but also to find out where Yang Xiao lives now."

"But I saw you both going out together in the middle of the night..." Gu Ziyou muttered quietly. While he was explaining patiently, she wanted to know everything she was curious about.

Shen Lingfeng raised an eyebrow unexpectedly.

She explained, "I was watching the scenery on the balcony at that time, and I just happened to see it."

"That night, Yang Xiao got into a fight and went a bit too far, ending up in the police station. Lin Yan and I went to bail him out, and it was especially late when we got back. I guessed you’d already be asleep."

She hadn’t slept at all that night...

"But Vice President Yang doesn’t seem like the type to casually get into a fight, does he?"

"He heard someone saying some defamatory things about Lin Yan, which were unpleasant, so he lost his temper."

Gu Ziyou recalled seeing Vice President Yang that morning, and it did seem like his hand was wrapped in a bandage.

But she was too shocked by that kiss at the time to even ask about his injury.

She felt so foolish. Mengmeng was right; all misunderstandings stem from things left unsaid. Next time, she wouldn’t make the same mistake.

Shen Lingfeng watched her thoughtful expression, wondering what was going through her mind.

"Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
