In the narrow restroom, an unusual silence prevailed. Gu Lanshan gripped her cell phone, but could faintly sense that word as if it bore a scalding charm, searing deeply into her tender, sensitive heart.
It took Gu Lanshan quite a while to snap out of it before she softly whispered her and Ye Yao's situation to Sheng Shi. After finishing her story, her face had turned somewhat red. She said with a lack of confidence, "I admit that what I am doing is a bit hypocritical, but for all my faults, I don't want her to see my failings. So... so I have no other choice... I can only turn to you for help, to play the role of my husband once, to put on an act in front of her."
"I'm thinking of inviting her to dinner tomorrow night. Will that interfere with you?" Gu Lanshan's voice tensed as she spoke, "What I mean is, will it affect your work?"
"It's not a problem."
