Just as they had poured their drinks, Chen Cheng's phone rang.

It was Karen calling, and they only said five words: "Boss, check the trending topics."

Chen Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly; it seemed the matter had been resolved.

The four beauties looked at him inquiringly, and Guan Juer asked, "What is it, Brother Cheng?"

Chen Cheng called Huang Bo, took a quick glance, and sure enough, he saw it in the second position.

[Reversal in the Case of the Female Executive and the Mistress Scandal]

Chen Cheng clicked in and saw a long string of text, plus an apology video.

Chen Cheng curled his lips; a trending topic with fewer than a hundred comments—someone had definitely used their money power here.

Chen Cheng's money power had been spent on Da Chui.

He never expected this A Guannan to apologize so quickly; Karen probably hadn't even had time to prepare the cash.

After pondering for two seconds, he thought of Mr. Wei.

Once Da Chui's revelation came out, given Mr. Wei's meticulous nature, he had likely guessed that Chen Cheng still had more cards to play.

Fearing that he might get dragged into it, he had hurriedly found A Guannan to come out and apologize.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and handed the phone directly to Andy.

Andy took the phone and tapped play.

The three, including Guan Juer, glanced at Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng nodded, and the three of them quickly crowded over.

As Andy was watching, feeling the three of them crowding over, her body shrank back, and her breathing suddenly became a bit hurried.

Holding the phone, she panted for a long while before calming her nervous emotions.

Chen Cheng watched the four of them acting intimately and curled his lips slightly.

After watching the video, Qiu Yingying widened her eyes, "That's it, an apology?"

"I didn't even get a chance to scold her."

Fan Shengmei: Oh, my little ancestor, you really know how to talk.

She hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Andy clearing her name."

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.

After finishing the drink, Andy handed the phone back to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng watched Qiu Yingying chattering away while Guan Juer chimed in enthusiastically, shook his head, and said:

"Alright, the matter is resolved. You all go ahead and drink, I'm going upstairs to handle some things."

Guan Juer asked, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"

Chen Cheng smiled, "It's nothing, I have a conference call with Angel City."

"You all drink, just this one bottle, don't drink too much."

Chen Cheng gave a few instructions and went upstairs.

Not long after Chen Cheng left, the group started to let loose, jumping and dancing about. Their suppressed emotions were released, and they were very happy.

Night.

After a fierce confrontation, Guan Juer fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to Guan Juer's steady breathing, Scum Cheng lifted the thin quilt and tiptoed downstairs.

Walking to Andy's door, he placed his hand on the doorknob and turned it.

He curled his lips slightly; I really have a good eye for people.

She really did leave the door unlocked for me.

He walked in, gently closed the door, walked quickly to the bedside, and slid under the covers.

Hearing the movement, Andy rolled over, hooked her arms around Chen Cheng's neck, and kissed him.

This time, Andy was exceptionally proactive.

Venting the emotions she had suppressed over the past few days.

...

When everything returned to calm, Scum Cheng immediately began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Andy, it's my fault."

As Scum Cheng's gentle voice sounded, a line of clear tears slowly slid down.

That day, when rumors suddenly appeared online, Andy received the news immediately.

She was immediately startled and panicked, thinking that her affair with Chen Cheng had been exposed.

Today, when she saw the note calling her a mistress in the car, Andy actually breathed a sigh of relief.

This didn't seem like Guan Juer's personality.

Guan Juer came to find her before she even got off work, and only then did Andy's hanging heart finally settle.

Facing Guan Juer's concern, Andy felt even more conflicted inside.

Feeling incredibly guilty, she told me not to believe those rumors, but what if those rumors were true, my silly Xiao Guan.

Chen Cheng gently stroked her smooth back, soothing her.

Scum Cheng didn't say anything else; these psychological barriers were something Andy had to overcome herself. He could only penetrate directly to provide support, but he couldn't be the main attacker.

An hour later, Andy fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Cheng hummed a little tune as he walked out of the room.

He slipped into the room next door.

The lights in the room were off, the curtains were drawn, and it was pitch black.

Chen Cheng walked to the bedside in the dark and slid under the covers.

"Huh?" Chen Cheng paused, puzzled, "How did it change?"

Chen Cheng was in a state of excitement and didn't realize anything was wrong.

He began his work.

"Huh... why is it smaller?"

As he voiced his confusion, Scum Cheng was immediately struck as if by lightning.

Damn it, this is not Fan Shengmei.

There were only five people in the house, including himself. He had just come out of the other two rooms. If this wasn't Fan Shengmei, who else could it be but Qiu Yingying?

He froze in place.

Regaining his composure, Chen Cheng's brain moved at high speed.

I never intended to discuss ideals or life with Qiu Yingying.

Chen Cheng was a person who feared trouble, and he had always kept his distance from 'troublemakers' with immature minds like Qiu Yingying.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her be lovey-dovey with that scumbag Bai.

Sigh~

Chen Cheng sighed; it was already done, and thinking about it now was completely meaningless.

The most critical thing was whether Qiu Yingying was awake or not.

Chen Cheng propped himself up and leaned in front of Qiu Yingying to examine her.

The lights weren't on and it was too dark to see clearly. Suddenly, Qiu Yingying's body twitched.

Chen Cheng widened his eyes; she was already awake.

But why wasn't she screaming, making a scene, or refusing?

Chen Cheng was a bit confused, frowning, his brain spinning fast.

He slapped his forehead, forgetting that Qiu Yingying's nature was a bit like an ostrich. Whenever something happened, she would bury her head in the sand.

If she hadn't woken up, there would be a chance to run; since she was awake, there was no way to slip away.

After a long while, Chen Cheng made a decision in his heart.

He slowly resumed his work below.

His hands grasped the key points, and he pretended to be puzzled, "Xiao Mei, why have you lost weight recently?"

Hearing Chen Cheng's words, Qiu Yingying's eyes, which had been tightly shut, instantly widened.

Sister Fan?

How could Chen Cheng be having an affair with Sister Fan? He is Guan Guan's boyfriend, isn't he?

Guan Guan is so gentle and quiet, how could he do this?

For a moment, Qiu Yingying even forgot about Chen Cheng...

She slowly began to let out stifled moans she couldn't suppress.

...

"Xiao Mei, why aren't you saying anything today?"

"I heard from Fang Sijin that you bought a BMW?"

"Is your money enough to spend? If not, tell me again. In light of your good performance recently, I'll give you a raise in your allowance."

Chen Cheng kept working in an orderly fashion while rambling on.

Qiu Yingying suddenly felt she had heard something incredible, and was so shocked that she stopped moaning altogether.

Why would Chen Cheng give Sister Fan an allowance?

Uh... giving an allowance, and then sneaking into bed, isn't that being a kept woman?

How could Sister Fan do such a thing? Guan Guan even treats her like a good sister.

It makes me so mad, how could she do such a thing.

Qiu Yingying gritted her teeth, but her face was flushed with color.

Seeing Qiu Yingying hooked on playing the ostrich, Chen Cheng was speechless.
