Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 178 Gu Yanci is my husband

Nan Zhiyi felt as if those words were a slap in the face.

"What...what do you mean?" She seemed only surprised, not reacting as if her bad intentions had been discovered.

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow.

Nan Zhiyi was more composed than she had imagined.

Wen Yan chuckled lightly: "Isn't it obvious what I mean?"

The smile wasn't mocking; instead, it was nonchalant, indifferent, and completely unconcerned.

Nan Zhiyi realized that they didn't take her seriously.

Wen Yan's reaction made Nan Zhiyi feel inexplicably angry, even more so than mockery, as if Wen Yan was an insignificant presence.

"Nan Zhiyi, do you need me to explain it more clearly?" Wen Yan asked patiently.

Nan Zhiyi subconsciously clenched her fist.

After a few seconds, she suddenly asked, "Do you like Gu Yanci?"

She admitted nothing, but it was as if she was responding to something.

Wen Yan calmly crossed her arms and said, "Given our relationship, I have no obligation to explain my feelings to you."

“You don’t like him.” Nan Zhiyi’s eyes suddenly became firm.

"Oh? Who told you that?"

“Aunt Ji.” Nan Zhiyi seemed to have finally found a handy weapon. She changed her previous dejected state and said in a clear and loud voice, “Aunt Ji told me that you have liked many people since you were a child, and there have been many boys around you. If I had to say who you were closest to, it would be Mr. Gu’s brother. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. And you, less than a year after his death, used tricks to marry my Mr. Gu.”

Wen Yan never expected that Ji Chang had told Nan Zhiyi this information.

Her mother-in-law really dislikes her!

“Do these things matter? Nan Zhiyi, no matter what kind of mental preparation you've done, no matter how you try to convince yourself morally, you may not even need to convince yourself morally anymore,” Wen Yan smiled, “Gu Yanci is, first and foremost, my husband.”

"Is he like that now, and will he be like that in the future?" Nan Zhiyi blurted out.

Wen Yan smiled knowingly, as if to say, "You finally let it slip. Go on."

Nan Zhiyi's face turned ugly. She said, "Mommy used to be your father's wife, but now she is my father's wife."

Wen Yan's expression turned colder: "Oh, you've been influenced by them, no wonder."

One man had designs on a married woman, while the other was having an extramarital affair.

"She's your mommy too!" Nan Zhiyi hurriedly defended herself.

Wen Yan shook her head expressionlessly: "From the moment she faked her death, my mother was already dead."

In her memory, her mother was gentle and loved her.

The woman who appeared now was a stranger.

“But she still has feelings for you, she still loves you.” Nan Zhiyi was telling the truth.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt at that moment.

She should be happy about Wen Yan's words. With those words, Wen Yan would no longer try to take away her hard-won, only motherly love.

However, over the years, Nan Yun has often praised her eldest daughter, Wen Yan. She knows how good Wen Yan is, and she even once really wanted to get to know Wen Yan and become good friends with her.

However, she doesn't know when it started, but she could no longer treat Wen Yan with a naive attitude.

It probably started when I met Gu Yanci by chance in the United States.

Or perhaps it started when he realized that Wen Yan was more outstanding than himself.

Nan Zhiyi hopes that Wen Yan will treat her as a friend, and she wants everything that Wen Yan has ever had.
