After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 165 The Right Person

Upon hearing this, both parents were taken aback, and then turned their gazes to Song Le, seeking confirmation: "Little Song, is that so?"

Song Le smiled, a subtle, complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Uncle, Momo is right, but I'm getting on in years, so it's normal for my family to be anxious. But I've looked at a few, and none of them have caught my eye, so I've given up."

Upon hearing this, Dad immediately tried to smooth things over: "Look, Momo, did you hear that? No one else has taken a liking to her. Maybe our Momo is the one that Xiao Song has in mind."

I glanced at them helplessly. "Dad, Mom, we're here today to thank them, not for a blind date. Please get the point straight, okay?"

"Eat quickly!"

I put some food on my parents' plates, trying to shut them up, and then looked apologetically at Song Le, hoping he wouldn't take it seriously.

Song Le smiled at me and even put a piece of food on my plate.

When my parents saw Song Le's action, they looked at each other and laughed. My mother deliberately said, "Momo, I need to go to the restroom. You guys eat first."

My dad didn't even bother to make up an excuse; he just went along.

I frowned, hesitating whether to talk to Song Le about it after dinner.

As I was pondering, a bright voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Isn't this President Song? What a coincidence."

I froze when I heard the sound, mechanically turned around, and wished I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Jiang Yichen already minded my association with Song Le, and now, if I go back, he'll skin me alive!

I met Jiang Yichen's dark eyes and my heart skipped a beat.

The arrival of Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan added a subtle twist to the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

Jiang Yichen looked at Song Le with a playful smile and asked, half-jokingly, "Song Le, are you meeting the parents?"

His tone was somewhat teasing, which made my heart skip a beat.

I quickly stood up and smiled as I clarified, "President Jiang, you've misunderstood. We're simply having dinner and chatting with Song Le today; it's not as complicated as you think."

I tried to defuse the sudden awkwardness with a lighthearted tone.

Lin Nan gave me a meaningful look and said casually, "I think President Song and Miss Gu are quite a good match."

"is it?"

I could hear the two words Jiang Yichen squeezed out through clenched teeth, but his expression remained unchanged, very calm.

It's so bland it scares me.

Song Le also stood up, her eyes shining with determination and courage.

He held my hand tightly, as if he were transferring strength to me.

He took a deep breath and said to Jiang Yichen, "Jiang Yichen, I want to make this clear to you: I am indeed pursuing her. I know you have decided to marry Lin Nan, so I hope you can respect my choice and stop interfering in our relationship."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's gaze lingered on Lin Nan for a moment, as if he were pondering something.

Then, he gently patted my shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Eat more, don't go hungry."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Nan, the two smiled at each other, and then left the restaurant together.

I glanced at Song Le awkwardly and said apologetically, "Song Le, I'm sorry, I think you shouldn't waste your time on me."

"Gu Mo, I..."

"I just remembered I have some things to take care of. Could you please take my parents there later? Thank you."

I turned to leave, but then I remembered my parents' aunt's smile. I quickly turned back and added, "By the way, whatever they say, just listen to it and don't take it seriously."

"Gu Mo".

Song Le tried to call me back, but I had already run far away.

That night, I rushed back to the luxurious villa, only to find it pitch black and eerily quiet, as if even the air itself had frozen.

I wondered to myself, could it be that Jiang Yichen is not home again?

Where did he and Lin Nan go after leaving the restaurant?

Never mind him, I'm going upstairs to rest.

As I was about to quietly go upstairs, a sudden voice shattered the silence of the night: "Stop!"

The voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.

I was startled, and my steps involuntarily stopped.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure vaguely visible in the darkness, standing there quietly, like a majestic statue.

"Jiang Yichen?"

I asked tentatively, trying to calm myself down.

However, the figure did not answer immediately, but remained silent, as if observing my every move.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

I know that in this situation, any panic or anxiety could put me in an even more passive position.

So, I mustered my courage and spoke again: "Jiang Yichen, is that you? Why are the lights off?"

This time, the figure finally made a move.

He slowly emerged from the darkness and turned on the living room lights.

On the sofa, Jiang Yichen was leaning back, looking at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He asked sarcastically, "Oh? Did you enjoy your meal?"

His tone was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction; he was clearly deliberately making things difficult for me.

I sighed helplessly and explained, "Jiang Yichen, I've already told you, inviting Song Le to dinner tonight was just to thank her for her previous help, there's no other meaning. Why won't you believe me?"

I tried to make him understand my position and attitude.

However, Jiang Yichen didn't seem to buy it.

He smirked and said, "Believe? How can you expect me to believe you? You and that Song Le are so close, who knows what you've been doing behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, an inexplicable anger surged within me.

I turned to leave, not wanting to get entangled with this unreasonable person any longer.

However, Jiang Yichen suddenly reached out and pulled me back.

He was very strong and hurt me.

"Ouch!" I cried out in pain, glaring at him angrily. "Jiang Yichen, what are you doing? Let go!"

He acted as if he hadn't heard me, gripping my arm tightly and demanding an explanation: "You have to make it clear today whether you had a good time having dinner with Song Le or not."

I was so angry I was trembling all over. I yelled furiously, "Jiang Yichen, are you crazy?! Let go!"

My voice became sharp and shrill with anger.

Jiang Yichen's face looked particularly gloomy under the light. He suddenly reached out and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look him in the eye. His tone was authoritative and unquestionable: "Try saying that again?"

I was startled by his sudden action, but my anger only intensified: "Jiang Yichen, you're getting more and more crazy lately! I told you, you're sick!"

I cursed him again in a fit of pique, trying to break free from his grasp.
