Chapter 276: Gu Yan, Happy After Guarding the Door

From the bathroom, Su Yuning’s voice echoed.

“Yuning, what’s wrong?!!”

Hearing this, Gu Yan urgently asked. Looking at the two handprints still on the frosted glass, his mind raced with thoughts.

Perhaps Yuning had slipped and tried to steady herself by holding onto the door… But then again, it could also mean…

Suddenly, Wang Haoran’s face flashed in his mind, and his heart sank.

“Yuning, are you okay?!”

“I’m fine~ I’m fine~”

Hearing Gu Yan’s concern, Su Yuning quickly replied.

“I just… slipped a little~”

***

Half a minute later.

Su Yuning continued speaking through the door to Gu Yan.

“If you need anything, we can talk later. I’m still showering, so just go—”

Suddenly, Gu Yan felt a heaviness in his head, like a weight had been dropped on him.

“Yuning, you—”

He was worried, frustrated, heartbroken, and desperately wanted to know what was happening inside.

But before he could ask further, the sound of rushing water drowned out everything.

“Whoosh—”

The sound masked all other noises, and Su Yuning’s hands left the door.

Gu Yan’s face turned pale—

“Bastard!!!”

***

Thinking that Wang Haoran might be in the bathroom bullying his wife, Gu Yan was furious.

He, a dignified man, could not tolerate such an insult!

There were limits to what one could endure.

Previously, addressing his wife by her intimate name and having her massage him was already too much. Now… now this?

It was outrageous!

Having held back for so long, Gu Yan finally made up his mind.

He grabbed a chair and—

Went to the end of the hallway—

He decided to stand guard there, watching the bathroom intently.

He needed to see if Wang Haoran was inside!

Gu Yan, with his legs crossed, thought his plan was perfect.

If he barged into the bathroom, he risked seeing his wife naked if she had genuinely hurt her ankle, which would make her very angry.

By standing guard in the hallway, he wouldn’t anger his wife and could still confirm the truth.

Other than this door, Su Yuning’s room had only one window, which was secured with a wooden frame, making it impossible for anyone to enter or exit.

This meant that this door was the only way Wang Haoran could enter or leave his wife’s room… specifically, the bathroom…

Together with his wife!

If Wang Haoran came out of this door, it would confirm he had been in her room… in the bathroom…

Then, Gu Yan’s jealousy would be justified!

He would lose his patience and explode!

Thinking this, Gu Yan stared intently at the closed door of Su Yuning’s room.

…

Outside the room.

Gu Yan killed time by watching videos on his phone while keeping an eye on the door.

***

After a video finished, he yawned and put his phone away.

“I can endure this small hardship.”

He had waited for over two hours but remained vigilant.

He couldn’t believe Wang Haoran wouldn’t come out eventually!

Just as he rubbed his eyes and prepared to continue his watch, a voice suddenly came from behind.

“Mr. Gu? What are you doing?”

“?”

Hearing the voice, Gu Yan turned around in shock.

“Wang Haoran?!!”

“You’re not in Yuning’s room?”

“…Uh… I just went for a walk outside and chatted with Grandma Su for a bit…”

Wang Haoran replied “surprised.”

“Do you… wish I was in Yuning’s room?”

Wang Haoran’s expression turned astonished, “You’re not one of those… what’s it called… green… cuckolds…”

“Hoping I’m with your wife…”

“I’m not!”

Gu Yan immediately stood up.

Although Wang Haoran suggested such a thing, instead of being angry, Gu Yan felt a bit happy.

Wang Haoran had come up the stairs behind him, proving he hadn’t been in his wife’s room!

It seemed he had misunderstood!

Thank goodness he hadn’t let suspicion and anger cloud his judgment. Had he barged into the bathroom to “catch” them, his wife would never have forgiven him!

Watching Wang Haoran enter the guest room he had prepared earlier, Gu Yan, feeling relieved, took the chair back to his own room.

However, he couldn’t help but reflect on what just happened—

‘Sigh, I shouldn’t have doubted her… Trust is crucial in a marriage!’

But… Yuning… her voice sounded pained…

Could she have slipped, hit something, and gotten hurt?

I should have brought her some medicine!
