But sometimes, events take unexpected turns, and well-kept secrets can be inadvertently revealed.
After Charlene met with Gu Shaoting, she returned home in a fit of anger. Though she had been pleased with herself at the time, she was actually in great pain, knowing that she would never have another chance to be close to Gu Shaoting again.
When Qin Zhen called, she was still fuming.
“Sweetheart, who made you so angry? Tell me, and I’ll teach them a lesson,” Qin Zhen said, doting on her.
“Don’t bother me. I’m furious right now. We did all that work for nothing. Shu Pan got the photos, but she didn’t react at all. She didn’t go confront Gu Shaoting. Either she doesn’t care about him, or she trusts him too much. Clearly, it’s the latter. It’s driving me crazy,” Charlene ranted.
“How do you know? Maybe she’s planning to settle the score later. No woman can tolerate her husband being entangled with an ex-girlfriend,” Qin Zhen analyzed. “I’ll have someone dig up some information on him and let you know.” His words successfully calmed Charlene down a bit.
“Darling, don’t be angry. How about we play golf tomorrow, or would you prefer horseback riding?” These were the kinds of activities popular in their high society circle.
“Horseback riding. I haven’t done that in a while,” Charlene decided to enjoy herself.
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Qin Zhen couldn’t quite understand why he was so enamored with Charlene. There was something about her that captivated him.
Charlene’s anger subsided a bit. She wanted to see if Shu Pan was really as indifferent as she appeared.
The next day, Charlene dressed in casual attire and went to the stables. Qin Zhen soon joined her, having decided not to invite his friends so he could spend some quality time with Charlene.
They both changed into riding clothes. Charlene looked stunning in her equestrian outfit, exuding confidence and charm. Qin Zhen couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The stable hand brought over two horses, one for each of them. Both were skilled riders, and Charlene eagerly took a lap around the field.
After riding for a long time, they finally grew tired and headed to the rest area.
Qin Zhen remembered the results of his investigation. “Sweetheart, Gu Shaoting had a car accident. He’s still in the hospital. I heard it was pretty serious, but only his friend is taking care of him. Shu Pan hasn’t visited.”
The news was significant and easy to uncover.
“What? A car accident? When did this happen?” Charlene asked, surprised to learn about such a serious incident.
“A few days ago, I think. It was raining that day, visibility was low, and he encountered a driver who was fatigued. Bad luck for him,” Qin Zhen said, relishing the misfortune.
Rain? Could it have happened after she met with him? It only rained that day, Charlene thought to herself.
Could it be that her words were too harsh?
Or did Shu Pan find out and argue with him about it?
Qin Zhen noticed Charlene lost in thought, likely thinking about Gu Shaoting again. Feeling a pang of jealousy, he said, “You’re not feeling sorry for Gu Shaoting, are you?”
Charlene snapped out of it and glanced at him. “No, it’s heaven’s punishment for him.”
“Good. When you’re with me, I don’t want you thinking about him. I’ll get jealous.”
Charlene frowned at him.
In reality, Charlene was considering whether to tell Shu Pan about this. Since she hadn’t seen her visit the hospital in days, it was clear Shu Pan was unaware.
The more she thought about it, the more interesting the situation became.
