The living room was silent.

The two men looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder seemed to permeate the quiet air.

Shi Ye could see William's feelings for Gu Jinlan, so he said this deliberately, hoping to make William completely give up the unnecessary thoughts in his heart.

The corners of William's lips twitched twice, and he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

He laughed exaggeratedly.

The laughter echoed in the huge living room.

Under the gorgeous retro crystal chandelier, William smiled with tears in his eyes.

He raised his slender hands and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.

"I only heard that Master Shi was a ruthless person before, but I didn't know that Master Shi was such a humorous person." William looked at Master Shi with a smile, "Even Shi Mufan didn't acknowledge my existence and identity, but Master Shi actually called me a brother?"

"So what?" Shi Ye disagreed, "I also don't acknowledge the existence of his father, so his acknowledgement is not important to me."

William lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the pride in Shi Ye's eyes.

From this point of view, Shi Ye really doesn't care about Shi Mufan's father at all.

Unlike him…who had longed to see his father since he was a child.

Is it because Shi Ye has Shi Mufan's care for him that he is so fearless?

Although Shi Ye denied it, he knew very well that the reason Shi Mufan was willing to come here was for Shi Ye.

William lowered his head to drink and stopped talking.

Gu Jinlan was observing quietly from the side and noticed William's loss.

It was also discovered that William became inferior in front of Shi Ye.

Looking at Shi Ye again, he was clearly the one being held hostage, but he was sitting with his legs crossed leisurely, sipping the wine in the glass slowly, and even commented, "The wine is good."

Gu Jinlan: "..."

This is probably the suppression of blood?

William pulled his lips and smiled, "If you like, I'll bring you a bottle when I leave."

"Just one bottle?" Shi Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. "I asked Shi Mufan to come for you. He did such a great job, and you just gave him a bottle of wine?"

William said, "There's only one bottle left."

Shi Ye shook the wine glass, looked at the crystal clear wine in the glass, nodded and said: "So, you took out the good wine from your collection. Mr. William is quite generous in entertaining guests."

Gu Jinlan didn't have Shi Ye's gaming mentality, so she hadn't drunk any wine since she sat down. Now, hearing what Shi Ye said, she suddenly became greedy and wanted to try how delicious the wine was.

So she quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The wine spread on the buds, and Gu Jinlan's eyes lit up.

He quickly took another sip and couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a good wine!"

When she leaves, she must remind Shi Ye not to forget to take the remaining bottle with him!

Gu Jinlan drank the wine in the glass in two gulps, then unceremoniously picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass.

He also added a little to Shi Ye's wine glass.

“…” William narrowed his eyes and looked at the couple in front of him.

It seemed like they were really here as guests, and they weren't worried about poisoning the wine.

"Ahem!" William coughed lightly and reminded, "Did you forget? I said that after Shi Mufan comes, Master Shi can leave, but Miss Lan must stay."

Shi Ye's hand that was shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped, and his eyes darkened instantly, "Mr. William, do you have to be so disappointing? I thought we had reached a consensus."

William said: "I saved Miss Lan's life, so from now on, I have the final say in everything that happens to her."

Gu Jinlan sneered, "Do you really think I'm a kitten or puppy you picked up? How funny!"

"It just so happens that I'm a psychiatrist and can help you cure your paranoia for free."

William must have lacked love when he was a child and couldn't get what he wanted, so he has such a strong possessiveness when he grows up.

She used to think that Shi Ye was the most capricious person she had ever met.

Unexpectedly, William was more capricious than Shi Ye.

Anyway, it's more or less a mental illness.

Shi Ye squeezed the wine glass with a little force and was about to say something when a bodyguard walked in.

"Master, Shi Mufan is here."

William was surprised, "So fast?"

He turned to look at Shi Ye, "It seems that he is really worried about your safety. Let's go meet him together?"

Gu Jinlan suddenly felt a little excited.

She and Shi Ye have been married for so long, but she has never met her parents-in-law.

But Shi Ye said, "I don't want to see him. Don't you want him to see your mother? It's not appropriate for us to be there when your family of three reunites to reminisce about the past."

William was stunned for a moment, “A family of three?”

He laughed and said, "Master Shi is really good at making fun of people."

William stood up, walked to Shi Ye, put his hand gently on Shi Ye's shoulder and patted him, "Then you two can enjoy the wine here slowly. If it's not enough, open the remaining bottle."

Shi Ye said, "That's not necessary. You can't become fat in one go. The same goes for drinking. This is the last bottle. You should take it home and enjoy it slowly."

"Okay, whatever Master Shi says, that's it." William leaned over, got close to Shi Ye's ear, and asked softly, "Miss Lan probably doesn't know what Shi Mufan and Yan Yi do, right?"

Shi Ye was stunned, his dignified brows sank, he turned his head to look at William, and a haze slowly spread in his eyes.

William winked at him and smiled, "If Miss Lan knew, would she still go with you?"

Shi Ye's tense forehead twitched slightly, and when he was about to stand up, William increased the strength of his hand on his shoulder.

"Then I'll leave you first." William returned to his normal speaking tone, patted Shi Ye's shoulder and left.

Gu Jinlan saw that Shi Ye's expression suddenly became very serious and asked, "What did he say to you?"

William's voice was very soft when he spoke in Shi Ye's ear, and she couldn't hear it even though she tried to prick up her ears.

Shi Ye was in a daze, still thinking about what William had just said.

If Gu Jinlan knew that it was his parents who made her become this kind of person...

If she knew that her hellish life during those years was caused by his parents...

He didn't dare to imagine how Gu Jinlan would react.

He didn't even want to face that situation.

"Aye?" Gu Jinlan called out.

Shi Ye finally came back to his senses and looked at her with a guilty look, "What's wrong?"

"What did William just say to you?"

"nothing."

"You're lying." Gu Jinlan frowned and asked worriedly, "Does it have anything to do with me? He's a very strange person, don't believe what he says."

Worried that William would fabricate facts to sow discord between her and Shi Ye, Gu Jinlan explained, "Although he restricted my freedom during this period, he didn't do anything to me..."

Shi Ye is a suspicious person. She has been with William for so long. Even if William doesn't sow discord, she is worried that Shi Ye will think too much.

"It has nothing to do with you." Shi Ye held Gu Jinlan's hand and said gently, "You don't have to explain. I believe he wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

"So what did he say to you?" Gu Jinlan asked.

From Shi Ye’s reaction, it can be seen that the whisper William just whispered in his ear must be something very important.
