Originally, Li Yan, who stood between the two of them, intending to mediate, sat on the sofa on the other side as they began their argument, watching them from an observer's point of view.

Yue Yao's words made him feel a bit awkward. How did he become the passive one? But that seemed to be the truth. And now Zhang Yurong's words left him even more speechless, what do you mean by mostly accompanying me to bed! We are as innocent as green onions mixed with tofu!

'Can you protect him, take care of him, or indulge him?' This sentence made Li Yan feel a bit 'ashamed', as if, in her eyes, he was someone needing protection like an endangered species?

Zhang Yurong's words hit Yue Yao's weak spot, but she was unwilling to back down: "And what about you? Are you always concerned with work, not playing with him, not causing trouble with him, not being intimate with him? Hmph, this isn't everything in life, but it's very important, isn't it?"

This left Zhang Yurong speechless. Indeed, as a wife, she hadn't been doing these things, hadn't spent much time with him, let alone been intimate with him.

Yue Yao, in response to being called a 'little sister' in an age-related attack, countered: "Big sister, I'm not as old as you, I'm just a first-year college student, but won't I grow up? Why can't I provide him with a family? I can slowly get to know his situation, with plenty of time and opportunities. On the contrary! As I slowly grow up, someone will gradually get older!"

No matter how calm or composed Zhang Yurong was, she was still a woman! A woman would care about others commenting on her age. Even though she was only twenty-five, at the prime of her life, compared to the nineteen-year-old Yue Yao, she truly felt the pressure. Upon hearing her bluntly mention 'old', she couldn't help but retort, "You're old!"

Unexpectedly, Yue Yao could make Zhang Yurong lose her composure. It was the first time he'd seen his wife get riled up over words like this, making Li Yan want to laugh yet unable to do so.

Yue Yao, of course, sensed her irritation and laughed mischievously: "Ah, yes, compared to a seventeen-year-old girl like Nian Yufei, I'm really old. But luckily, Li Yan shouldn't make a move on an underage girl. I have no pressure at all."

While they bickered, Yue Yao momentarily glanced at Li Yan, inquiring with her eyes about what he intended to do and if she should take sides.

Li Yan, although unable to speak to her or even look at her continuously, had a mutual understanding built over years with her. Just a glance told her his thoughts. Yue Yao quickly realized Li Yan didn't plan to confront Zhang Yurong. He wasn't intending to abandon the old for the new by having Yue Yao replace Zhang Yurong, but seemed to wish for the two women to get along peacefully.

This made Yue Yao smile bitterly, sighing inwardly: You're too greedy! All women are jealous by nature, and who would be willing to share their man? Do you think everyone can be as unconcerned as I am?

And asking herself, was she really unconcerned? Unconcerned while constantly by his side? Unconcerned while eagerly staying close to him? Unconcerned while trying to get along with Zhang Yurong? Wasn't it the same? It's just that she feared that putting things bluntly would ruin the current closeness, and it was out of lack of confidence in herself that she settled for this lesser option!

…

Seeing Yue Yao brazenly and aggressively in her own home made Zhang Yurong very angry. But lacking experience in such matters, making a verbal counterattack was difficult. Unconcerned people are steadfast; in the company, everyone respected her because she was the CEO and a major shareholder; clients respected her due to Paradise Group's strength. However, Yue Yao was neither her subordinate nor a client, and didn't need to fear or consider her. Instead, like a formidable and rising competitor, she seemed determined to seize her resources...

If she fought, she would have a hard time gaining the upper hand; if she didn't, she wouldn't feel at ease. This made Zhang Yurong feel challenged by the discussion. Moreover, what made her angrier was that Li Yan seemed indifferent, merely watching as another bullied his wife without speaking up. What use was such a husband? His heart was already with the mistress!

Thinking of this, she said slightly resentfully, "Yes, yes, you have no pressure, I do. I can't win against you, is that okay? You can have him! I don't care. Why should I, Zhang Yurong, flatter a man? You can take him if you want, he's not even worth it!"

Li Yan couldn't help but cough a couple of times, "Whether good or bad, you can't just say I'm a thing..."

As soon as he said this, both of them simultaneously responded:

"You're not a thing!"

"You're not a thing?"

Li Yan was speechless; not being a thing was worse than not being a good thing!

Seeing that the argument was going nowhere and Zhang Yurong seemed truly ready to give up, Li Yan stood up, feigned anger, and said, "Fine! I'm not a thing, I won't care anymore. You two go on arguing! I'm going to sleep. Anyway, it's not me who's going to be late for work or school tomorrow!"

He said this as he headed upstairs.

Yue Yao quickly jumped up and followed, saying, "Yan gē, wait for me, I'll go with you!"

Both Li Yan's feigned anger and Yue Yao's intentional closeness left Zhang Yurong displeased. She snorted coldly, refusing to look at them. She even considered wielding her authority as the hostess to kick Yue Yao out and forbid her from staying there. But reason held her back, for she knew well that if she truly did that, Li Yan would surely leave too, leaving no room for reconciliation!

Seeing them leave, Yue Yao hurriedly tried to persuade from the side, "Yurong sis, are you really not going to do anything?"

Zhang Yurong gave a bitter smile, "It's already like this, what can I do?"

Yue Yao whispered, "If you just let it go, Yu Xiaodi might end up going into Li Yan's room with him. Then she'd surely find out you two are sleeping in separate rooms! It seems Li Yan hasn't said much about your relationship, so she's still hesitant. If she finds this out, she'll just get more daring. You've never lost before, are you really willing to lose to a little girl?"

Zhang Yurong frowned deeply, feeling conflicted. Yes! I, Zhang Yurong, am not interested in any kind of good man, so why should I compete with her over Li Yan? But not being interested is one thing, letting Yu Xiaodi take him away is another. If it really happens, wouldn't Li Yan's arrogance just skyrocket?

Yue Yao's encouragement stirred up her fighting spirit. After all, this is her home, and even if she doesn't want to 'use' this husband, she can't let other women 'use' him right under her nose!

"Let's go! Let's get up there and let her stay in the guest room!"

The two of them immediately chased after them.

...

Having already gone upstairs, Yu Xiaodi held onto Li Yan's arm and whispered, "How did I do? Did I embarrass you?"

Li Yan gave a wry smile, "Not too bad, not over the top. Remember, no matter what..."

"She's still your wife! I understand." Yu Xiaodi replied with a smile. From the moment they got in the car, she'd been pondering this, and by the time they got here, she'd had to make a decision. Just after arguing with Zhang Yurong, she'd already pulled herself together from tonight's depression and sadness.

She could love Li Yan more than others, and she's younger than them. Just these two points restored her confidence. She couldn't become his wife right now, and he wouldn't agree, and they won't divorce immediately either, so why not be a little gracious? Being more gracious is the only way to win his heart and compete with Zhang Yurong and the others.

Upon arriving upstairs, Yu Xiaodi quickly asked, "Which room are you staying in?"

"Tonight, you'll sleep in the guest room!" Li Yan started to sweat. This girl's proactive nature was unpredictable, and even if he wouldn't actually do anything with her, he couldn't share a room with her in front of Yurong and Yue Yao either.

Yu Xiaodi burst into laughter, "Uncle, I was just asking which room you're staying in. What wishful thinking are you doing? You want me to sneak into your room?"

This left Li Yan speechless.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Yu Xiaodi found such a big man quite adorable and couldn't help but lean in closer to tease him further. She blew a breath near his ear and said ambiguously, "Are you... fantasizing about Zhang Yurong and me sleeping with you together?"

Even though he knew this girl was only exaggerating, Li Yan was still provoked by her words. He couldn't help but imagine both of them, one mature, one youthful; one cold, one passionate; one serious, and one mischievous... If they really shared a bed with him... he wondered how satisfying that would be!

Just thinking about it, even before anything happened, made Li Yan's heart itch.

Yu Xiaodi closely observed his slight changes in expression and realized he was secretly daydreaming. She couldn't help but secretly curse, thinking all men are no good! She was just intentionally saying it, yet this dirty uncle took it seriously!

She bit her lip and playfully scolded, "Did I hit the nail on the head? Want me to go talk for you?" As she spoke, she teasingly kissed his earlobe.

Those words and actions made Li Yan exhale, seeing that she caught onto his thoughts, he quickly chuckled, "Well, better not, I'm an honest guy..."

Patience is needed even if he really had such thoughts; they can't be admitted now, it has to be taken slowly.

Meanwhile, Yurong, encouraged by Yue Yao, was coming up with her. As soon as they saw the two whispering intimately, and Li Yan's seductive smile, they could only be talking about something bad!

This made Zhang Yurong silently furious, hmph! A vixen and a lech, a match made in heaven! Yue Yao was right, if they aren't controlled, won't they just become more insolent?

She immediately walked over and coldly said, "Since you're here and don't want to leave, stay for the night. We won't run out of a guest room for you!"

Seeing Zhang Yurong's attitude, Yu Xiaodi grinned, "Someone shouldn't worry about me taking over. Li Yan and I are innocent, not as filthy as you think. Let's go!"
