Chapter 462: Chapter 444: Sunset Reveals True Intentions

Ye Man’s mother became increasingly irritated, "It turns out we’ve been deceived by that wretched girl, I’m afraid it’s the loach Gu Feng can’t stand to eat. Just think about how we urged him to eat so many loaches today, and how that kid managed to keep a straight face without letting us notice anything amiss."

"Alright, alright, the child knows she was wrong," Ye Man’s father said reproachfully, looking at Ye Man who was clearly feeling guilty, and sighed with a helpless smile. No wonder his daughter seemed especially joyful tonight—the root cause lay here after all.

"And you’re still laughing, you think what she did was right, don’t you? She didn’t realize her mistake—she just had a guilty conscience," Ye Man’s mother continued to fume, thinking about how she had played the "accomplice" tonight, ceaselessly persuading Gu Feng to eat more loach, most of the large pot ending up in his bowl—just thinking about it made her feel tangled.

How could she face Gu Feng tomorrow?

It was all because of that wretched girl.

"Alright, there’s no use scolding her now, just have her reflect on this alone in her room." Ye Man’s father ushered her mother out of Ye Man’s room, and before leaving, he casually closed the door behind him.

"You just continue to indulge her, without your backing she wouldn’t dare to have such gall..."

Through the closed door, Ye Man could still faintly hear her mother’s grumbling complaints. Holding the box tightly, Ye Man sat on her bed in a daze, her facial expression complex and peculiar. How had Gu Feng handed her the box again?

Tilting her head, Ye Man recalled Gu Feng placing the box in her hands and saying with a wry face, "Wife, you must never leave me in the future, otherwise, I’ll really have nothing left."

At the time, she had scoffed and retorted, "You’ve got it backwards—it’s me who should be worried about that."

Gu Feng had just chuckled bitterly, patted the box, and said to her, "Wife, ’time reveals a person’s heart.’"

Ye Man remembered looking at Gu Feng with a strange gaze at that moment, scolding, "Ignorance is truly scary," then turning away without a word, refusing to take the box with her.

Gu Feng had courteously brought the box up to her room and placed it on her dresser, followed by handing her the metal case containing the keys. He had specifically instructed her to keep the key safe, as it was uniquely made and would be quite troublesome if lost.

Don’t underestimate this wooden box—it’s truly indestructible by fire, impervious to water, unbreakable by knife, and cannot be smashed by a hammer.

Moreover, the metal case meant for holding the key was also custom-made and could only be opened with her fingerprint.

At the time, she didn’t pay much attention, and if her mother hadn’t taken an interest in the box out of curiosity, it might have been a long time before she discovered Gu Feng’s "time reveals a person’s heart"...

Staring blankly at the box, Ye Man’s thoughts became a jumble again, reflecting on everything from her first encounter with Gu Feng, their entangled interactions, to eventually living together.

She remembered how from the very beginning, she was the proactive one, shamelessly persistent, while Gu Feng was too passive. He only moved when pushed, otherwise, he would stand still, refusing to budge.

Over the years, she often wondered if their relationship would have ever warmed up step by step if she hadn’t been constantly pushing him forward from behind.

And initially, she dared to take the initiative everywhere, thinking she had enough confidence, at least in front of the "orphan" Xia Ye, who had nothing.

She was a graduate of a prestigious university, with a job everyone around her envied. Although she wasn’t particularly beautiful, she was quite the delicate beauty. So she had enough confidence to chase after Xia Ye, who was so handsome he had no friends.

But reality was cruel, and when Xia Ye suddenly became Gu Feng, it was like a beggar turning into a prince. In the end, she realized how ridiculous she was—her so-called confidence was nothing but a huge joke in front of Gu Feng.

She wasn’t beautiful enough, nor did she have a family background that was advantageous to Gu Feng. Gu Feng had to marry her only because she was pregnant and had to make a temporary compromise... So she wasn’t a princess, after all, she was just a toad longing for swan meat.

If Gu Feng had revealed his true identity from the start, she wouldn’t dare chase after him, even if she were given the courage several times over.

This realization made her feel a profound sense of despair from deep within, stubbornly convincing herself that her marriage was nothing more than a necessity for Gu Feng.

Therefore, she could never keep Gu Feng for long. In a few years, perhaps not even a few years, just as long as her child was born, Gu Feng and his family could kick her away and take away the child—

Ye Man’s mood began to slowly brighten. She suddenly understood her struggles of the past two days; she was scared, terrified.

But she didn’t want to admit her fear.

Gu Feng had seen through this, which is why he had given her this box. He was telling her that she didn’t need to wait "a long time" to see his heart.

He was risking everything just to set her mind at ease.

When a man is willing to go this far for a woman, what reason does she have to doubt his sincerity?

It turned out that all these years, it wasn’t as she had always thought, that she was performing a monologue. Ye Man sat on the bed with a laugh, and as she laughed, tears just kept falling. How could Gu Feng be so foolish? His stakes were placed so high, wasn’t he afraid that one day she would really take all his assets and leave him crying without a place to cry?

--

"Gu Feng, are you that confident, not afraid that one day Ye Man will take all your assets and leave, making you cry without a place to cry?" Gu Meng asked, his face showing a strange expression as he looked at Gu Feng who still seemed especially relaxed and happy.

In the daytime, Gu Feng had found the chief lawyer of the Lu Family and transferred all his assets to Ye Man’s name, then signed a document akin to a promise, even having it notarized with great caution. All of this couldn’t escape the eyes of the Gu Family.

And after Gu Feng returned in the evening, his good mood made the jaws of the Gu Family members drop. This guy didn’t look like he was being coerced at all, did he? Did he not realize what his actions during the day meant?

So before Gu Tianming and Xia Na could react, Gu Meng, bursting with curiosity, couldn’t help but go directly to Gu Feng’s room to dig for information.

"Afraid? Of course, I’m afraid. Who said I wasn’t?" Gu Feng threw a contemptuous look that would suggest he was looking at an idiot, and then said sternly, "Gu Meng, I can accept you calling me by my name because you’ve been used to it since we were young. But it’s said that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and yet you address Ye Man by her name directly? Where are your manners? Shouldn’t you refer to her respectfully as elder
