Strong! It's still safe at home, who could have thought of this? And in his big villa, if someone were to break in and discover any trouble, all inside and out are trusted confidants.

Li Yan sighed inwardly, but at this moment, men always help men. No matter from which angle he approached, he couldn't let Yu Xiao Di discover it, otherwise, it would only add countless troubles.

So, he just gave Yu Hong a knowing smile and then cooperatively pulled Yu Xiao Di out.

Yu Xiao Di hadn't figured out what was going on yet, still worried about her father, but she trusted Li Yan completely, so she followed him out.

"Hey! Why are you pulling me out? My dad is obviously a bit off!" Yu Xiao Di said with a worried expression.

Li Yan not only pulled her out but also directly led her away. "Don't worry! He's fine. Can you help anyway?"

"...No."

"So, you should let him handle it himself."

Listening to Li Yan's persuasion, Yu Xiao Di nodded, not fully understanding. Then she said, "But I can help him tidy up, you see he's flipped the table in a tantrum. Or I can have someone bring him some food..."

"Nothing is needed! Your dad just instructed you to entertain me well." Li Yan sweated a little, if they sent food in there again?

"Still not right..." Yu Xiao Di stopped again, turned to Li Yan, and said confusedly, "My dad looked strange just now, but so do you!"

Li Yan widened his eyes, "How am I strange? Aren't I just like this usually?"

"Indeed, you're usually like this. But you were much more serious the last time you saw my dad. If he were really in trouble, even if you followed his instructions, you should be more serious. But I remembered, when you pulled me out earlier, you were smiling. Suspicious!" Yu Xiao Di leaned closer, seemingly trying to force him to confess.

Li Yan rubbed his nose, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not that... I've always maintained a good attitude. Last time your father was putting on airs, I didn't have a good impression of you or your family, hence no smile, not because I was serious. Now our relationship is different, he smiled at me first, I returned a smile, isn't that normal? It's just courtesy."

"Really?" Although what he said seemed quite reasonable, Yu Xiao Di still didn't quite believe it. "No, I still need to go ask my dad..."

Seeing that she really wanted to go back, Li Yan quickly pulled her back.

"Then tell me what you guys are hiding from me?"

Li Yan, helpless, sighed, "I'll tell you back in your room!"

Yu Xiao Di compromised and followed him back to her bedroom.

After securing the door, she said a bit anxiously, "Li Yan, I really want to know, after everything that happened in the past days, I've realized the value of life and the rarity of family. I know in your eyes, I'm an insignificant kid, but I really..."

Li Yan hugged her, gently patting her back to comfort her, then led her to sit on the bed. Seriously saying, "Xiao Di, I do know a bit. I can tell you if you want, but I must warn you of the consequences. Not knowing anything is nothing, but after you do, you might hate your father! Your family's relationship is getting better now, do you really want to ruin it?"

Seeing Li Yan so serious, Yu Xiao Di was scared.

She hesitated for a full minute before slowly saying, "After everything recently, I feel I've grown a bit. People always need to go through various things to mature. If it weren't for you reprimanding us and wanting to retaliate, I might still be living like before. That night was a shameful day for me and my friends, but now I feel it was a lucky day.

I think… everything has two sides. Even with what you just said being so serious, I believe there's another side too. I believe I can endure it, and I won't hate my dad. Perhaps it will be a temporary struggle, but eventually, it will lead to growth and sublimation. Otherwise, if it's really something bad, I'll find out eventually, and it might be different then."

Seeing her so earnest, Li Yan thought: Sorry, whether helping reason or family, I should help Xiao Di, sorry to fellow males for this betrayal.

"If I'm not wrong, your father was just… with a woman in the office earlier..."

"No way… Le Wu..." Yu Xiao Di widened her eyes.

Li Yan nodded, "Don't be overly shocked, think carefully, before going in, we heard some movement. There was no response when we knocked, and when we went in, we saw your dad's panicked expression. Look at the chaos on the desk, it wasn't that things were thrown around, they were pushed aside, leaving an empty space in the middle..."

Yu Xiao Di was stunned, unable to believe it.

After a while, she said firmly, "Impossible! My dad isn't that kind of person!"

Li Yan sighed, "The time you've spent with him is surely less than Ji Yi, right? You only see him on weekends, how do you truly know his situation today? Your mom wasn't home, and when he came back, you weren't either, so this scene happened. Moreover, had I not come, had you not taken me there, we wouldn't have walked in on it. As men, there are usually two kinds of situations for infidelity. Objectively, one is having the opportunity, the other is lacking it. Subjectively, one is having the guts, the other is lacking it."

Yu Xiao Di relaxed a bit, still finding it hard to imagine her stern father being such a person! Even with limited time spent with him, unlike outsiders, she completely believes her father is as she knows. Now, she feels her perception is collapsing.

"Are you alright? I said you couldn't handle it…" Li Yan hugged her, gently patting her shoulder.

"Actually, there's no one perfect in this world, as I just said. Men are just distinguished by having the opportunity or not, having the guts or not. Perhaps saying this would bring many faithful ones out to curse me if publicized. But in fact? There's this debate:

A man, whose wife hooked up with a wealthy foreigner, who offers him a million to leave on his own. What would an ordinary man choose?

A, Accept, since the wife's with someone else, why not take it, few support this;

B, Definitely not accept, that's as if selling the wife for a million, divorce and letting her go is one thing, but taking money would be shameful. This is the most common choice for Yun Country People."

Suddenly telling a story caught the silent Yu Xiao Di's attention a bit.

"Here's the question, if that foreigner was extremely wealthy, offering ten million instead? Would more choose A, with B decreasing? Continuing, what if it's a billion? Ten billion? Then even those choosing B might think, since she's already someone else's, the money is what's truly important.

This might not be precise, but it shows that people's seemingly ironclad principles often change when the conditions are right. A minor employee deeply loves his girlfriend, would never cheat. Yet, one day when out with his boss, the boss hands over a lady, if by entertaining her, he becomes a confidant with promotions, raises, bright future, would he accept? An honest good man who goes straight home after work, never strays. But if bumping into his first love, who only asks for a night together, no one will know, no impact on family, no burdens, would he agree?

Of course, most people in reality face high risks, low temptations, making ideal conditions hard to achieve. Have you watched the movie 'Cell Phone'? Those with means and guts, like Ge You's character; those without, like Zhang Guoli's supporting character. It's troubles that are feared!"

To counsel Yu Xiao Di to prevent her from being overly stimulated, Li Yan exaggerated men's inferior nature.

"My dad… is one with the conditions?" Yu Xiao Di mumbled, then stood up to walk out.

"Ugh, I spoke so much, you didn't take in any of it, huh!"

Yu Xiao Di smiled bitterly: "I understand your point… Don't worry, I get it, I must act like I know nothing, or the household would be in chaos. I… just want to see what kind of woman could tempt my dad beyond his limits..."

Li Yan, with no choice, accompanied her out, then cautiously walked towards Yu Hong's study.
