"Yangzi, what is it you really want?" Li Minxi asked Guo Xuyang, glancing at him.
"What's going on? Who made you angry again?" Guo Xuyang didn't understand why Li Minxi would suddenly say something like that.
"When I wanted you, you said my body couldn't handle it and you felt sorry for me. Now that you sneak into Jia Jia's room in the middle of the night, you don't feel sorry for me anymore?"
"What are you talking about? Wasn't I just going to ask about the two people Wu Jia Lai brought?"
"Ask about their situation? Can't you ask during the day? Can't you ask in front of me? And you still have to sneak into her room in the middle of the night to ask. Is that the kind of noise you make when you ask? Do you think I'm stupid or are you stupid?"
"Was it you who showed Mom that video?"
"What video?"
"Mom said someone showed her a video."
"Are you insulting me or yourself? How could I possibly show the elderly lady that thing?"
"Then how did Mom say she saw the video?"
"Our home's surveillance camera is in the west courtyard. Anyone who wants to watch can see it."
"You mean Mom went to watch it herself?"
"How would I know if she watched the video or not? You're the one who told me this. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't even know Mom had watched a video," Li Minxi said irritably.
"I couldn't hold back that day. You know, men sometimes make mistakes that all men make." Guo Xuyang was quite upfront. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he decided to admit it generously.
"From the moment you brought these people in, I knew you had no good intentions. Now you're celebrating after the pain is gone. You just recovered a few days ago, and you're already back to your old ways. I told you a dog can't change its eating habits, and you didn't believe me."
"What are you saying? Wasn't I just a bit impulsive?"
"Dad and Mom also live in this place. You should be mindful of your influence. How could they not know about all that noise?"
"I didn't expect her to be like that either. I covered her mouth."
"Don't you know your own situation? Was this her first time?"
"How did you know?"
"Was that the sound a human makes? Weren't you afraid of killing her?"
"I didn't pay attention at the time. It was only when I later found the sheet soaked in blood that I remembered this matter."
"She really can endure it. That night, I walked around outside for eight hundred laps, forcing myself not to knock on your door. The next day, she acted as if nothing had happened and came to see Niu Niu."
"You know she suffered, yet you still made her work?"
"If you don't pity her, why should I take care of her? Doesn't she want to be your woman? Then let her be. Your body is your own business. Just don't end up with half a life left like last time."
"It won't happen. Such a thing will never happen again."
"Never? I heard Xiao Yun didn't get pregnant this time either." This statement from Li Minxi made Guo Xuyang realize that everyone knew what he had done.
"You should at least leave me some face."
"Face? You still want face? The entire family lives together, and you sneak into a young nurse's room in the middle of the night to do whatever you please. And now you think about face?"
"I just couldn't help myself."
"Couldn't help yourself? I think you've had this idea for a while. Don't come up with excuses. People say you should admit your mistakes and stand tall to accept punishment. What's the point of telling me all this?"
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Let that Jia Jia go back. Bin Bin is enough to take care of Niu Niu himself."
"But..."
"What? You're reluctant? You've started this now. What will the other women do? Haven't you considered the consequences?"
"I promise it won't happen again."
"Are your promises useful? You also promised last time that you wouldn't go out fooling around anymore, but look what happened. If she doesn't leave, then I will."
"Aren't you forcing me?"
"I'm not forcing you; I'm doing this for your own good. You have enough women already, and those other women I saw that day, they are all yours, right? You don't need to say anything. Outside, no matter how you mess around, I don't see it, and it's all fine. But not at home. No matter what, I am still your nominal wife, and I must ensure that things at home don't get out of hand."
"If she leaves, who will help you with Niu Niu?"
"There are plenty of people by the artificial lake. Who can't watch her? Besides, isn't there Bin Bin?"
"Alright then. Should I tell her, or will you?"
"You tell her. I can't be the one to kick her out after using her."
"Why don't I have her go live with those other people?"
"How you arrange it is your business. If anyone else imitates this, don't blame me for not being polite."
"I understand."
