‘#Third Young Master Tan Flirts Openly with Washed-Up Actress#’

Making the headlines was nothing new for Third Young Master Tan.

And Tang Li, who often came across gossip about Tan Siyu, was used to it too.Full novel: That Was Close! The Young Master Nearly Became Her Ex-Husband — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

But this time was different.

The day after Tan Siyu’s whirlwind wedding, he flew straight to Rio without a word. The moment he landed, he was already getting cozy with an actress at the airport.

He hadn’t given Tang Li’s dignity a second thought.

He was slapping the Tang family in the face.

A resounding slap.

He was telling everyone that he, Tan Siyu, didn’t love Tang Li, and that the Tang family’s heiress was nothing but a joke.

Although Tansheng Public Relations issued a statement at once and even sent a lawyer’s letter warning people, not a single gossip-hungry onlooker believed it. They were having far too much fun discussing the whole thing.

You’d sooner believe a sow could do a backflip than believe Tan Siyu was some devoted romantic.

If Tan Siyu had loved her for years, she’d eat the divorce papers.

Tang Li looked at the high-resolution photos of the two interacting. The woman was holding up a velvet box and batting her eyelashes at Tan Siyu.

She immediately turned off her phone and repeated to herself, It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me.

Nothing. To. Do. With. Me!

Three minutes later, she opened her eyes—

This marriage had to end.

Qiao Ning noticed the change in her and immediately leaned over to snatch her phone.

She unlocked it and took a look.

Perfect.

Third Young Master Tan sure knew how to have fun. Anyone who didn’t know better would think that actress was the one he truly loved.

Qiao Ning turned off the phone, then deliberately picked out a sweet, puppy-like young man from the line of technicians—her guiding principle was to choose someone as unlike Tan Siyu as possible.

“Sweetie, how old are you?”

“E-eighteen.” The young man lowered his head shyly.

Tang Li’s tea-brown eyes widened. “You only just turned eighteen?”

“You’ll do, puppy.” Qiao Ning made the call.

Tang Li said, “Isn’t he too young, Ningning?”

“Oh, come on. He’s not too young at all.”

Qiao Ning smiled, her gaze sliding downward. The young man’s face immediately turned red, and he lowered his head, pretending to be calm.

“Wow, sweetie. This is exactly the kind of innocent one you want. They’re so much more fun to tease.”

She pointed to the spot beside Tang Li, signaling for the puppy to go over. “Remember to kneel. Those ears of yours are turning such a lovely shade of red.”

The sweet puppy obediently did as he was told.

Tang Li instinctively started to get up and leave, but Qiao Ning shot her a look. “Sweetie, don’t move.”

“What are you doing?” Tang Li was so hot and uncomfortable that she felt guilty, as if she were cheating.

Qiao Ning knew her too well. Her friend’s overdeveloped sense of morality was the problem, so she casually prodded her: “Tan Siyu was openly flirting with an actress at the airport. They looked so sweet together—their eyes were practically sparking.”

“…”

Stirred by the urge to win, Tang Li promptly turned onto her side on the massage bed.

Qiao Ning held up her phone and tried several angles before finally capturing an extremely suggestive photo that made it look like something else was happening. She immediately posted it to her social media feed with the caption:

【Younger guys are so innocent~ This trip wasn’t for nothing.】

When Lin Youqi arrived at the airport, he looked around but couldn’t spot Brother Yu anywhere. He hurriedly called him. “Brother Yu, where are you?”

“In the car,” Tan Siyu replied listlessly.

The long flight, combined with seeing the unscrupulous media coverage, had left his head pounding.

He used to get a sense of satisfaction from seeing stories like this, as if he were getting back at Old Madam. But now, all he wanted was to go back in time and slap himself twice.

Tang Li had definitely seen it.

“Huh!? Brother Yu, why did you leave? Weren’t we supposed to meet you at the airport?”

“Check the time yourself.”

Tan Siyu couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Lin Youqi checked. Good grief, he was a whole hour late!

He was done for.

And that wasn’t all.

He realized that Brother Yu hadn’t even chewed him out!

Lin Youqi felt secretly pleased. As expected, marriage made a man lose his mind and turn gentle.

“Then go to Nevernight City first, Brother Yu. The guys are already waiting for you. I’ll be there right away.”

Tan Siyu said, “I’m not going. I’m going back to Suhe Bay.”

“…?” Lin Youqi froze with his hand on the car door. “So the playboy’s really settled down?”

He’d thought Brother Yu was just excited to see his first love again. He hadn’t expected him to still be worked up about it after all these days!

Lin Youqi waited a moment. “Hello? Brother Yu?”

When he got no answer, he glanced down at his phone. Sure enough, Tan Siyu had already hung up.

Tan Siyu pinched the bridge of his nose twice, raised the partition, and closed his eyes for a nap.

Forget settling down—right now, he felt like hanging himself.

**

Tan Siyu had barely arrived at Suhe Bay when Lin Youqi called again. He was so loud it sounded as if he were worried Brother Yu wouldn’t hear him unless the call was on speaker.

“Brother Yu, I saw in Qiao’s feed that she took your wife to Ting’an!”

Tan Siyu glanced upstairs. It certainly didn’t look as if anyone was home.

He opened the shoe cabinet. The cute Miffy slippers were lined up neatly inside.

Tsk.

Even his wife’s slippers were cute.

No. His wife had gone to Ting’an.

Worried Brother Yu might not get his point, Lin Youqi spelled it out: “The technicians there are available for purchase, Brother Yu.”

Tan Siyu said nothing.

So the men trying to seduce his wife weren’t just knockoffs.

“I won’t forward you the photo, Brother Yu. Remember to have Xiaoruirui drive you over to catch her cheating—you don’t have a license.” He added the reminder, still worried.
