Although Yi An had tried to accept the fact that Ouyang Hong had cheated on her with multiple women, including her best friend, Gong Qingyan's confession dealt a heavy blow to her heart, but she maintained a calm attitude and expression.
"Yi An, I—"
"Why did you betray me, Qingyan? Why did you sleep with my husband?" Yi An asked calmly, but her tone was heavy. "We've known each other for so long, and you're also married, yet you betrayed me and your husband."
Gong Qingyan's heart ached because of Yi An's calmness. She would rather have her best friend be furious with her and scold her to her heart's content rather than have her act calm like this. "I—"
"When did you start having affairs with my husband?" Yi An stared at Gong Qingyan with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Gong Qingyan squeezed her skirt as she guiltily looked at Yi An. "Five years ago."
'Five years ago?' Yi An tried to recall all the events that happened that year, but she couldn't remember that her husband and Gong Qingyan had ever gone out together that year. "How and where did it happen?"
"It happened during Huang Xiaoming's wife's birthday party at their villa, and you didn't join us because your daughter was hospitalized."
Yi An recalled that Ouyang Hong did attend it for several days. "Wasn't Dong Wutian present that day?"
"My husband was there that day." Gong Qingyan nodded to Yi An.
Yi An was confused by that, as she was more or less familiar with Dong Wutian's character, and the occurrence of their affair that day was really strange for her. "How could you sleep with my husband with your husband there that day?"
"Everyone was drunk at that time, and our rooms were next to each other, so I didn't realize that I had entered the wrong bedroom. My lust was high every time I was drunk, and I thought he was my husband, so I unknowingly had sex with him." Yi An frowned at Gong Qingyan, who became embarrassed after saying that. "When I woke up in the morning, I was on top of your husband, and his cock was inside me. I wanted to leave his bedroom, but he suddenly hugged me and kissed me, and we had sex again."
Yi An frowned deeper after hearing that. "Did my husband wake up when you two were having sex?"
"He woke up in the middle of our activity, but he didn't stop pounding me, and I didn't stop him either because I was fully aroused." Gong Qingyan's face turned red from embarrassment up to her ears.
Yi An fell silent and her eyes narrowed with loathing. "Did your husband know that?"
"No." Gong Qingyan shook her head slightly. "After we finished, I went back to my bedroom, and my husband slept like a dead pig, so he didn't know anything about it."
"Did you have sex with my husband again in the following days?" Yi An asked again.
"After that night, I didn't join them for drinks, and I always went to bed early." Gong Qingyan paused for a while. "After we parted ways, I started missing your husband. When my husband went abroad, I contacted your husband to meet up, and we've been doing it again ever since."
Yi An stood up and approached Gong Qingyan, giving her a loud, hard slap on both cheeks.
*Slap*
"Argh!" Gong Qingyan screamed in pain, but she said nothing and accepted Yi An's slap.
"I'm disappointed in you, Qingyan. You're my best friend, but you lied to me for five years. If you had stopped after that night, I might have forgiven you for your betrayal. However, you didn't stop, and you took the initiative to continue your affair with my husband." Yi An pointed to the exit. "Leave! I don't want to see a disgusting woman like you again, and we have no more relationship from today on."
"Yi An, I—"
"Leave!"
Gong Qingyan looked at Yi An while covering her red cheeks, but she said nothing and hurriedly left the place.
Yi An collapsed to the floor, burying her face in her arms, and crying as loud as she could.
Tang Xiao, who had been waiting outside since the beginning, immediately entered, covering the room with his void element. He lifted Yi An to his feet before carrying her to sit on his lap on the chair previously occupied by Gong Qingyan.
"Cry as loud as you want, Yi'er." Hearing that, Yi An cried even louder as she hugged Tang Xiao so tightly.
Tang Xiao hugged Yi An tightly, pressed her head against his chest, and rubbed her back.
[Do you want me to send those videos to Dong Wutian, Master?]
Tang Xiao immediately rejected the idea. 'Not now, Xiao Ai. When I can deal with Long Yin, I will crush Ouyang Hong to pieces before killing him.'
[Yes, Master.]

"Yawn." Ouyang Qing yawned as she opened her eyes, but she was stunned by Lin Yan, who was staring at her strangely. "Since when were you here, Yan? Did you come alone?"
"I came alone." Lin Yan immediately played a recording on her smartphone, leaving Ouyang Qing embarrassed by her sleep ramblings. "I find it hard to believe that you already gave your virginity to Feng Xiao, Qing. In the past, you always hated people without status like him, but your relationship with him has gone that far now."
Ouyang Qing covered her embarrassed face with a pillow. "I don't know what happened to me, but I always feel comfortable and calm whenever he's by my side, and I'm unconsciously starting to fall in love with him."
"Since when did that happen?" Lin Yan curiously asked.
"Since I was hospitalized." Ouyang Qing's answer stunned Lin Yan. "My mother asked him to look after me while she and Su Rou went to meetings, and we started spending time together after I was discharged from the hospital. As we spent more time together, I started to realize that I liked him, and the incident at Wen Tian's house made me like him even more."
Lin Yan pulled the pillow away from Ouyang Qing's face. "Have you thought about what would happen if your father found out about your relationship?"
"Sigh." Ouyang Qing sighed heavily as she shook her head. "I don't want to talk about that matter now, and I will look at the situation first before telling my mother about our relationship. So, what made you come here? Why didn't you invite the others with you?"
"I can't contact Qinlin, and Jessica is busy with her family." Lin Yan opened a video on her smartphone and showed it to Ouyang Qing. "Look at this."
Ouyang Qing momentarily frowned before hurriedly sitting up on the bed, and she grabbed Lin Yan's smartphone straight away. "Who sent you this video?"
"I don't know." Lin Yan replied with a shake of her head. "I've tried calling that number several times, but the owner never picks up my calls. There are several other videos and pictures; you can see them all for yourself."
Ouyang Qing searched for those videos and pictures, looking at them one by one. "I don't know how that mysterious person got them, but we'll be in big trouble if they fall into the hands of the police. Even with my father's status and reputation, he probably won't be able to bail us out of prison."
"That's why I came here to see you, and you must ask Hao Lin to track down the owner of the number; otherwise, we will face big problems." Lin Yan sighed helplessly.
Ouyang Qing took her smartphone, contacted Hao Lin, and ordered her to trace the identity of the mysterious person. "Did Jessica get a message from this mysterious person?"
"Jessica told me that the mysterious person didn't contact her, but I don't know about Luo Qinlin because her number has been turned off since morning." Lin Yan then asked Ouyang Qing. "Did that mysterious person contact you?"
"There were no messages or calls from that mysterious person." Ouyang Qing tried to contact Luo Qinlin, but the result was the same: her number was switched off. "Where did she go? Why did she turn off her number?"
"Shall we go to Luo Qinlin's house now?"
"No." Ouyang Qing threw her smartphone aside and put it down again. "I'm exhausted now, so I don't want to go anywhere, and we'll see her tomorrow."
Lin Yan lay beside Ouyang Qing. "Did Feng Xiao wear condoms when you two had sex? Was he strong in bed? Were you satisfied with him?"
"Eh?" Ouyang Qing turned to Lin Yan as she recalled her sexual activity with Tang Xiao. "Shit! You only gave me one condom, and we already used it. However, we continued our sex after he ejaculated once, so we did it without a condom, and he ejaculated once inside me after that."
Lin Yan facepalmed after hearing that. "You are really careless! What if you get pregnant with him?"
"I—" Ouyang Qing was speechless because she was the one who begged Tang Xiao to continue without a condom. "Can we get pregnant that easily?"
Lin Yan sighed softly. "Some women can get pregnant easily, but many have difficulty. As for you, I can't say for sure, so you should go buy and take a birth control pill. Although it doesn't prevent pregnancy 100% of the time, it's better than nothing."
"Buy one for me, Yan."
"Alright."
