Chen Cheng ignored him, picked up Zou Yu, and carried her into the house.

It was his first time visiting since he bought it.

Previously, Xu Wenchang had been helping coordinate with the interior designer, selecting furniture, and arranging the decor.

Chen Cheng placed Zou Yu on the sofa. Zou Yu's face flushed with shame, and she turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.

Chen Cheng paused for a moment, then ignored her.

He spoke to Anna's assistant, "En Hui, your room is downstairs."

This house had two floors above ground plus an attic, and one basement level.

The basement had a light well, so the lighting wasn't bad.

The nanny's room was also down there, and it wasn't small.

"Okay, sir."

En Hui replied, cast a worried glance at Anna, nodded gently at her, and then headed down to the basement.

The Bodyguard had already retreated, and Anna was now standing there, feeling at a loss.

Chen Cheng glanced at Zou Yu, who was playing the ostrich, then walked over to Anna and pulled the weeping little pitiful girl into his arms.

Leaning against Chen Cheng's chest, Anna's tightly wound nerves instantly snapped, and she burst into tears.

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing his own emotions.

Seeing Zou Yu walking in the rain with Lin Qizheng, Chen Cheng had lost control for a moment and hadn't taken Anna's feelings into account.

Chen Cheng gently stroked Anna's back, trying to soothe her.

After a long while, Anna sniffled and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Oppa, are you not going to want me anymore?"

Looking at Anna, whose mindset was like a child's.

Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile. He ruffled her hair and comforted her gently, "My Anna is so well-behaved, how could Oppa not want you?"

South Korea's strict hierarchy, the order of seniority, and the concept of male superiority over females permeated every aspect of social life.

Juniors were required to absolutely obey elders, use honorifics when speaking to them, and could not look them directly in the eyes.

Men held dominant positions in family inheritance and workplace advancement, while women needed to maintain their social standing through their appearance.

This was also the reason why South Korean plastic surgery was so advanced and why exquisite Korean women were everywhere.

Anna, having grown up in such an environment.

And having been kept by Chen Cheng for several years.

Had long since developed an absolute dependence on him.

At this moment, a woman who was impossibly beautiful, and who also had a clear entanglement with Chen Cheng, had suddenly appeared.

Anna's insecurity completely exploded.

Chen Cheng lowered his head, reached out to gently wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and smiled, "Alright, go back to your room first. I'll chat with this sister for a few minutes, and I'll come keep you company later."

Anna took a couple of breaths, nodded with a flushed face, and said, "Mm!"

A glimmer of brightness flashed in her eyes. Oppa said he would come back to keep me company later.

Anna took a look, a smile curving the corners of her mouth.

Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly as he led Anna upstairs to the second floor.

He wasn't worried about Zou Yu taking the opportunity to slip away.

Otherwise, his security expenses would have been paid for nothing.

After settling Anna down, Chen Cheng went back downstairs.

He happened to lock eyes with Zou Yu, who was staring at him huffily. Chen Cheng chuckled, "I remember telling you that once you knew about that matter, you wouldn't be able to resign for a short while, right?"

Having just listened to Chen Cheng comforting Anna, Zou Yu no longer had any tears; she was full of anger.

However, with Anna causing such a scene, Chen Cheng had actually calmed down.

He sat down swaggeringly in front of Zou Yu.

Zou Yu shrank her neck, feeling somewhat in the wrong, and said guiltily, "We didn't sign an agreement."

"An agreement..." Chen Cheng scoffed, "You really are a good lawyer. You don't even forget about agreements at a time like this."

Zou Yu's mouth twitched, and she was left speechless.

Chen Cheng smiled and looked at her playfully. She was still wearing that black suit skirt from the interview, which had a unique charm.

"Aren't you going to explain why you ran off without a word?"

Zou Yu glared at him and retorted, "If I don't leave, who's going to make room for your first love?"

This remark thoroughly amused Chen Cheng, "Hehehehe~"

"What are you laughing at?"

"Don't you think you're a bit ridiculous?"

Zou Yu's expression stiffened, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Chen Cheng retorted.

"The first night we arrived in Hong Kong, you took the initiative to knock on my door, saying you wanted to talk to me, and you even drank with me."

"After we went out to sea on the boat, Eleven could have clearly helped you apply sunscreen, but you insisted on coming out to find me."

"Tell me, what was on your mind?" Chen Cheng looked at Zou Yu's fair face with amusement and continued:

"Knowing your husband was cheating, and at night, in the same city, were you thinking about Zuo Hui doing something to wrong you, so you wanted to get revenge?"

Zou Yu's lips trembled, and she gasped, meeting Chen Cheng's gaze, "You know about Zuo Hui?"

Chen Cheng laughed, "As someone who likes to remote-control companies, take a guess why I brought you to Hong Kong."

Hearing his words, Zou Yu's expression instantly froze, "In order to..."

Chen Cheng nodded gently, "Uh-huh, going to Hong Kong was indeed to make the dumplings for your vinegar."

Zou Yu smacked her lips, feeling a complex mix of emotions, and snorted coldly, "Should I be honored?"

Chen Cheng also laughed, "I don't know if you should be honored, but it's wrong of you to act like a saint after doing something shameful."

"You are a married woman, yet you came to seduce me, so don't expect others to be loyal to you, right?"

Having had her last shred of dignity stripped away, Zou Yu couldn't keep her composure. Tears burst forth like a dam, streaming down her face, and her voice became thick with nasal congestion, "My relationship with Zuo Hui has long been dead in all but name."

"From the first day I was with you, I was thinking about when to get a divorce."

"I sent out the divorce agreement, but what did you do?"

Zou Yu glared at Chen Cheng with red eyes, "The result... the result was that you didn't come home that night."

Zou Yu wailed, "Do you know how desperate I was that night?"

"Damn it."

Chen Cheng's eyes widened. Are you a little princess?

You didn't tell me you were getting a divorce.

Chen Cheng's lips twitched, feeling a bit guilty.

Although the marriage was dead in name, she had just said goodbye to a seven-year relationship for a man, and then that man didn't come home that night; it was indeed hard to take.

Things had reached this point. She had met Han Su, and today she had seen Anna. Cheating had no meaning anymore, but he certainly wasn't willing to let Zou Yu go.

Chen Cheng still put on a tough face, "From the first day you knocked on my door, couldn't you have foreseen this outcome?"

Zou Yu's expression stiffened. She had indeed anticipated it, but when it was truly placed in front of her, she still chickened out, unable to bring herself to be 'the third party'.

She felt both love and hate for Chen Cheng, and in a fit of anger, she ran away without a word.

Seeing her guilt, Chen Cheng looked amused, "So, whether anything actually happened between me and Han Su doesn't seem important, right?"

Zou Yu's face darkened, complex emotions surging in her eyes, "So, did you and Han Su do it?"

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly; he roughly understood her feelings now.

She wanted to have him, but also wanted to maintain her own bright and upright image.

He smiled and looked into Zou Yu's cold, clear eyes, "You know, I have a high libido."

"It's not like you haven't experienced it. Or do you feel it wasn't enough?"

In an instant, Zou Yu's pretty face turned scarlet. Only after experiencing it did she know what earthly bliss was.

"Pfft, you dirty pervert."

Chen Cheng looked at her shy appearance, feeling relieved; this matter was considered smoothed over.

It was a surprise that the little brother had done a great job.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes. Since she still wanted it, they needed to give each other a way out.

He got up and sat down beside Zou Yu, reached out to wrap his arm around her soft waist, and breathed into her ear, "Alright, stop making a scene."

"If I didn't like you, why would I go to such great lengths?"

Suddenly, Zou Yu felt the warm breath on her ear, which tickled.

That feeling of flying in the clouds instantly washed over her entire body.

Before she could react, the man's burning kiss fell, traveling down her neck and blocking her red lips.
