Pei Yi did indeed have feelings for Tang Wu, and he wouldn't allow anyone to smear her reputation. "Xu Dai, watch your mouth!"
Meanwhile, upon hearing Xu Dai's words, the others in the tearoom took out their phones and opened the trending topics.
Sure enough, Tang Wu and Si Yanli were trending.
In a short video on the trending list, Si Yanli reached out and pulled Tang Wu, who was leaning against a car, into his arms. Immediately after, the two shared a passionate embrace.
Anyone who saw this video wouldn't think the two were just friends.
A male colleague standing closest to Pei Yi showed him the video.
After Pei Yi watched it, all the blood in his body instantly rushed to his head.
Just seconds ago, he thought Xu Dai was speaking nonsense, but seeing the video with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
The Deputy Director was a married man. If Tang Wu was with him, didn't that make her the other woman?
Seeing the colorful expressions on Pei Yi's face, Xu Dai curled her lips into a disdainful smile. "Are you still going to defend her? Even if you confess your feelings to her, she wouldn't accept you. Her standards are way too high!"
Pei Yi's face looked extremely awful.
He really couldn't understand why his junior would degrade herself like that.
Even though the Deputy Director was perfect and outstanding, he was a married man. She shouldn't have fallen for him!
Pei Yi put down his coffee cup and strode quickly out of the tearoom.
Xu Dai raised an eyebrow, gloating. "Looks like we've got a good show to watch."
Anyone could tell that Pei Yi treated Tang Wu as his dream girl.
Now that his dream girl had done something so morally corrupt, wouldn't he confront her face-to-face?
Xu Dai and a few other colleagues followed him.
After Tang Wu came out of Si Yanli's office, she was chatting with Gu Lingwei. While the two were talking and laughing, an angry figure suddenly rushed over.
Seeing Pei Yi's expression, a hint of surprise flashed in Tang Wu's beautiful eyes. "Senior, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Looking at Tang Wu's stunningly beautiful face, Pei Yi felt an indescribable, suffocating pain in his heart.
How could she do such a thing?
Wasn't she the kindest and most principled person?
"Junior, come out for a moment. I have something to ask you."
Tang Wu noticed that Pei Yi's expression was off. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw Xu Dai and her group walking over.
Everyone had a look on their faces that said they were ready to watch a show.
"Pei Yi, just ask her right here. Why do you need to ask her in private?" Xu Dai gloated.
Tang Wu furrowed her delicate brows, a trace of confusion in her beautiful eyes. "What is it?"
Pei Yi clenched his jaw, finding it hard to voice the question.
Xu Dai interjected, "Tang Wu, the fact that you're a mistress has already been exposed."
Tang Wu's brows furrowed even tighter, while Gu Lingwei, standing beside her, said indignantly, "Xu Dai, don't you dare slander her!"
"Pei Yi saw it too. If you don't believe it, just look at the trending topics!"
Gu Lingwei and Tang Wu took out their phones at the same time.
Seeing the content on the trending list, Gu Lingwei opened her mouth wide in shock. "Sister Wu..."
A complex emotion flashed in Tang Wu's beautiful eyes.
She hadn't expected that she and Si Yanli would end up trending in this manner.
Obviously, someone had secretly filmed her and Si Yanli in the translation institute's parking lot.
Wasn't the scene in the video from the evening she had just returned to the country?
Just as Tang Wu was about to say something, Si Yanli walked over from his office.
His expression was noble and aloof, and his phoenix eyes beneath his glasses were sharp and piercing. He walked straight to Tang Wu's side and grasped her hand with his long, pristine fingers.
Pei Yi, Xu Dai, and the others in the office were all dumbfounded when they saw this.
Deputy Director Si was usually aloof and unapproachable. Aside from necessary work interactions, he kept all women at a distance, giving off a strictly professional vibe.
They had never seen him hold any woman's hand.
Among those present, probably only Gu Lingwei had pink bubbles popping in her eyes.
Wow!
Deputy Director Si and Sister Wu are such a perfect match!
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, incredibly pleasing to the eye.
After firmly holding Tang Wu's hand in his palm, Si Yanli looked at the crowd whose jaws were about to drop. "The wife I secretly married two years ago is Tang Wu. Whether in the past or in the future, she is my one and only Mrs. Si."
One sentence completely stunned everyone.
Si Yanli held Tang Wu's hand and walked straight away.
It wasn't until the two had walked far away that the others finally reacted.
"Oh my god, oh my god! The mysterious Mrs. Si is actually Sister Wu!" Gu Lingwei let out a high-pitched squeal.
Pei Yi swayed unsteadily.
He had been planning to take the opportunity of Tang Wu's return to confess his feelings to her!
He never expected that Tang Wu was actually married, and her husband was his boss.
The one hit hardest was undoubtedly Xu Dai.
She had thought this trending topic would ruin Tang Wu's reputation.
As for Si Yanli, being the Third Young Master of the Si family, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
But Tang Wu was different. With her relationship with Si Yanli exposed, the mysterious Mrs. Si would definitely take action.
After all, how could a legitimate wife tolerate the existence of a mistress?
However, she never in a million years expected that Tang Wu was the real Mrs. Si!
Now, she herself had become the clown.
Just as Xu Dai was worrying about being retaliated against, she heard Gu Lingwei scream, "Ahhh! The Si family, the Si Group, and Xiying Media have all spoken up for Sister Wu!"
Less than twenty minutes after the video of Tang Wu and Si Yanli hugging in the parking lot hit the trending list, the entire Si family spoke out.
The first to speak up was the internet-savvy Old Master Si: What mistress? What homewrecker? Wu Wu is my third grandson's wife! It's just that Wu Wu likes to keep a low profile and wouldn't let us make it public.
This was closely followed by Si Moyan and Wen Yan, and then Si Jingyi and his siblings.
Finally, the Si Group and Xiying Media both publicly announced Tang Wu's identity as the Third Young Lady of the Si family.
The Si family's collective statements instantly silenced all the curses and doubts directed at Tang Wu.
After Tang Wu was led out of the translation institute by Si Yanli, he took her to the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, Tang Wu took out her phone and looked at the trending topics.
She had originally prepared herself to face a storm of vicious attacks and to be scolded mercilessly. Instead, the trending list was entirely filled with the Si family supporting her.
Seeing the Si family mobilize collectively to defend her, Tang Wu felt a sourness in her nose, and her eyes grew misty.
No matter when, the Si family always pampered and protected her.
Before starting the engine, Si Yanli noticed Tang Wu lowering her long eyelashes in silence. As a crystal-clear tear slipped from the corner of her eye, his heart inexplicably tightened. "I've made you suffer a grievance."
Tang Wu sniffled and shook her head. "I'm not aggrieved. I'm crying tears of joy and being moved. I saw that Grandpa, Eldest Brother, and Sister-in-law spoke up for me."
Si Yanli held Tang Wu's hand. "Eldest Brother will investigate the person who exposed the video." He paused for a moment, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. "With our relationship exposed in this way, now the whole world knows that you are my Mrs. Si."
He drove the car and brought her to the top floor of a Western restaurant.
The rooftop terrace was decorated magnificently, looking incredibly cozy and romantic.
A candlelit dinner was set out on a rectangular dining table.
After the main course, there was also a fruit salad.
Tang Wu took a few bites before she suddenly realized something wasn't quite right.
She seemed to have bitten down on something hard.
Taking the hard object from her mouth, she placed it in the palm of her hand and took a look. To her astonishment, it was a diamond ring.
Lifting her long lashes, Tang Wu's gaze shot to the man sitting across from her. "Why are you giving me a ring all of a sudden?"
"I owe you one."
The moment the words left his mouth, Tang Wu's eyes welled up with tears.
She tilted her head back slightly, blinking away the tears that threatened to spill over.
Walking over to him, she offered him her slender, fair hand. "Put it on for me."
The man wrapped his hand around her delicate fingers. She thought he was going to slip the ring on her right then and there, but a split second later, he pulled her down onto his lap.
Before she could even process what was happening, he lowered his head and captured her lips in a kiss.
