Billionaire's Secret Love

After leaving the bar, Gu Nanqiao went straight home.

As soon as she entered, she saw her mother-in-law sitting on the living room sofa with a face full of anger, the maid serving her, Tong Ma, standing beside her.

"Mom." She stepped forward, a trace of confusion in her eyes.

As she approached and met Xia Molan's inexplicably gloomy gaze, she slightly furrowed her brows, already sensing that this visit was not well-intentioned.

Thinking this, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint, cold smile.

The sound of high heels on the wooden floor was indescribably heavy. Gu Nanqiao was extremely tired, just about to sit down, when Xia Molan suddenly spoke, her command thick with anger, "Tong Ma, bring that thing here and show her!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Ma fetched a plastic trash bin and placed it in front of Gu Nanqiao, hesitating, "Young madam..."

Gu Nanqiao lowered her head and when she clearly saw the contents inside, her complexion slightly changed and pain tinged her eyes.

Inside the plastic trash bin were several used condoms, still stained with a white liquid, likely from what Fu Lingfeng and that woman had used the previous night.

She clenched her fists tightly, forcefully suppressing the tears welling up.

"Mom, this has nothing to do with me," Gu Nanqiao said, her voice clear and cold. "If you want to know what exactly happened, you should ask your beloved son."

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Molan retorted, discontent rising upon hearing this, and she suddenly stood up from the sofa. "This was found in the bedroom you two share; how could you possibly not know about it? Could it be that Lingfeng was with someone else?"

It indeed was him with someone else!

However, Gu Nanqiao did not voice this out loud.

She knew that even if she told the truth, Xia Molan wouldn't believe her out of a desire to protect her own kin. Thus, she couldn't be bothered to speak, letting her jump to conclusions.

Xia Molan, thinking Gu Nanqiao had nothing more to say, pointed at her and scolded, "Gu Nanqiao, I have told you more than once that I can overlook your past dirty deeds. Since you and Lingfeng are already married, you should live a good life and think about having children soon, but you continue to ignore my words. Don't think that just because your father-in-law supports you, you can do whatever you want in this house, disregarding me!"

"Mom, I understand what you mean," Gu Nanqiao looked her straight in the eyes, her gaze icy and her lips slightly pale as she spoke. "But please respect our private space, okay? Next time you come over, you could give me a call in advance. I would be prepared."

"This is my son's house. I'm his mother; you won't even allow me to come and check on things?" Xia Molan's face turned an ashen hue from Gu Nanqiao's words, her look filled with resentment. "You are rightfully the young madam of the Fu family, but you better be mindful of your past deeds and not get too arrogant!"

Listening to her piling on one accusation after another, Gu Nanqiao felt her head might explode.

Today, one thing after another had happened, too much for her to digest at once, making her so agitated that she could barely control her emotions.

But she knew she could not afford to lose her temper, so she merely pressed her lips together a bit more firmly, her voice becoming even more indifferent, "Mom, I remember what you said. I've been working overtime for a long time and just came back from a reception; I am very tired now. If there's nothing else, please go back to the Fu Mansion for now. I'll visit you when I am free another day."
