《My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day》 Chapter 1 - 1 001, Boarded the Wrong Bus 1 001, Boarded the Wrong Bus Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Eight oclock at night, Nancheng International Airport. Having stayed in M Country for two years, I almost forgot how extraordinarily hot the summers in Nancheng are, still humid even at night. By the time Su Wanwan arrived at the car park, her forehead had already broken out in a light sweat. Her seaweed-like jet-ck curls fell to her waist, paired with an off-the-shoulder floral chiffon top, indigo denim shorts, and a pair of slender straight legs in white shoes. Under the cover of night, her skin was so pale it glowed. As she was about to use her phone to call her girlfriend, a red Maybach stopped in front of her. Good thing her girlfriend was so punctual! Su Wanwan didnt hesitate to walk over and open the rear car door. As soon as she sat in the car, a gush of cold air hit her. How refreshing! Is there a problem? A deep maic male voice abruptly broke the silence, with a very clear tone of indifference. Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly turned her face to look at the person sitting next to her. Snort! Why was there a man next to her? He was wearing a custom, pristine white shirt, with a dark patterned tie, revealing a hint of a mature and handsome businessman. Perhaps it was the lighting in the car that made his face appear long and sharp, his features even more chiseled. Under those dense and well-groomed eyebrows, a pair of slightly narrow eyes hooked upwards, incredibly refined, deep, and serene like obsidian. His high nose, frosty thin lips, coupled with his beautifully sculpted jawline He was very pleasing to the eye, extremely charming, and incredibly aloof. One could even say he was breathtaking. Sitting there, he was looking at the youngdy who had haphazardly gotten into the wrong car, his brows slightly furrowed, lips thinned, throwing an aloof and impatient nce. The phone started ringing at that moment, pulling Su Wanwan back to reality as she answered it. Baby Wanwan, the entrance here is blocked, dont worry, I should be there in another 10 minutes, her best friend Mo Weiyi said. Su Wanwan was speechless: I see. She had indeed gotten into the wrong car. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan quickly exined, Im sorry, I got into the wrong car. The man didnt respond, and his poker-like handsome face still looked indifferent. Su Wanwan felt rather embarrassed and was about to get out of the car. At that moment, another frivolous male voice said, Its just getting in the wrong car, its not like she jumped into something else Big brother, you dont need to be so ferocious, youre going to scare the poor girl. Su Wanwan turned her gaze to the front seat. She knew that her striking appearance often invited this kind of teasing. Dont be afraid, miss, the young man continued, still grinning from ear to ear. My big brother may seem cold and aloof, but in fact, hes never had a girlfriend, hes still a Before he could finish, a deep, resonating bark suddenly echoed in the car. Woof Immediately afterward, a ck shadow shot out from under the seat and hurled itself towards Su Wanwan. Ahhhh Su Wanwan, whose face had until now been calm andposed, was scared into a frenzy. She instinctively recoiled backwards, crying, Help! Help! Nangong Cis speech was cut short by this unexpected spectacle. My God! He admitted that his big brother had a handsome face that any woman would want to throw herself at. But toke the initiative even before properly meeting Youngdy, youre the first! Tsk tsk, I cant bear to watch this! He thought she was quite pretty, with those cold and icy eyes, so he wanted to crack a joke to lighten up the serious atmosphere in the car. But surprisingly, the girl was quite audacious. At least the good thing was, his car was soundproof, and the windows had a protective film on them, so from outside, one could not see what was happening inside, otherwise KO. A cold male voice interrupted his thoughts. Upon hearing his name, the German Shepherd let out a howl and started pawing excitedly. Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was so scared that she was just about to lose her voice. Because of an unfortunate incident when she was a child, she was fearless of everything except dogs, especially suchrge and fierce ones. At this moment, she didnt dare to lift her head, instead, desperately twisting to avoid the dog, and clung to the man beside her as her single lifeline. In the confusion, she waspletely unaware of the certain difort she was causing the man. As for Huo Jingshen. He still sat there, motionless, only his thin lips had been pursed into a rigid line, indicating his somewhat displeased mood at that moment. Chapter 2 - atings 2 002, Illegitimate Daughter Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After another bark, Su Wanwan was so frightened that her entire body trembled. Just as she was about to struggle again, her shoulder was already gripped by a pair of big mans hands. While tossing her aside, Huo Jingshen frowned deeply, an expression of distaste almost leaking from the screen. His low voice rang out again, KO, are you still causing trouble? The wolfhound whimpered and finally obediently crouched back in its original seat. The car doors lock was disengaged. Su Wanwan guarded her own face, not wanting to say a word. She tumbled out of the car and collided with the car door with a loud ng. The inside of the car was silent for a full three seconds. Then. Pfft! With irrepressibleughter, Nangong Ci burst out, Big brother, your dogs taste is too sharp, isnt it? Does it see that the youngdy is pretty? Thinking about giving you a happy surprise, right? Good boy, it almost tore the youngdys pants Huo Jingshen gave him a cold look, forcing him to shut his mouth. However But, big brother, your romantic luck isnt light either, your shirt was dirtied. Nangong Ci added almost involuntarily. On hearing this, Huo Jingshen looked down. Sure enough. The once spotless white shirt had been messed up by Su Wanwans grabbing. The hem was smeared with arge swathe of red from her lipstick. White, red inexplicably gave off an ambiguous vibe. Big brother. When the man spaced out, Nangong Cis cunning voice rang out again, What do you think about that youngdy just now? Huo Jingshen lightly lifted his eyelids, his face cold, his voice even colder, What about her? Seeing somebodys cold killer look, Nangong Ci felt a bit hesitant, almost shivering as he spoke, I mean I mean How does she look? Huo Jingshens ck eyes narrowed slightly. His face expressionless, arrogant as usual. The next second, he spat out a few words from his thin lips: Her skin is quite fair. Nangong Ci: His clean, handsome face twitched violently. Damn it, big brother is such an old pervert! Pretending to be so serious, making him think that he said something wrong to upset him, to the point of sweating from his back. ** Half an hourter, in a Mercedes luxury ck sedan, Mo Xiaose, the little princess of the Mo family, stared with her white-and-ck cats eyes, her palm-sized pretty little face full of bafflement and confusion. Because her bestie Su Wanwan had been busy touching up her makeup ever since she got in the car. Her hair was messy, her expression panicked, especially her lips, smeared all over with lipstick, as if someone had just bitten them Baby Wanwan, you really are savvy, indeed studying abroad makes a difference, huh? Are the people overseas especially liberal? I never thought that even you are now so good at this, ying even on the ne Can you be serious for a once, Mo Xiaose! Su Wanwan snap closed herpact mirror. She had already touched up her lipstick and rearranged her messy hair. Her delicate makeup, exquisite features, and bright and radiant appearance attracted people at first nce. I identally got into someone elses car just now and almost got bitten by the dog in there which led to my current disheveled state. On hearing this exnation, Mo Weiyi smiled mischievously, What kind of dog? A lustful dog? What does it look like? A wolfhound! Su Wanwan ground her teeth, A big! Wolf! Dog! Not! A! Person! Mo Weiyi: Su Wanwan was really speechless at this bestie of hers. They hadnt seen each other for two years, and shes still just as lewd! Stop messing around, hurry and take me back to the Su familypound. Oh. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, instructing the driver to set off. When the car left the airport, she couldnt help but remind, By the way, Wanwan, I heard that Grandfather Su has been in the hospital for a while and still hasnt recovered enough to leave the hospital. Su Wanwan remained silent. She quietly looked out the window, her side profile enchanting, her neck long and graceful, her eyes slightly cold. Although she seemed calm, her tightly pursed red lips revealed her emotional unrest. Mo Weiyi was a little worried. Although Su Wanwan is the eldest daughter of the Su family, she isnt the biological daughter of Lady Su, Jiang Yi. It was said that her mother died of a difficult childbirth at the hospital, and she was brought back from the welfare home by Old Mr. Su. But by that time, Su Yuntang had already married Jiang Yi. Towards this unexpected eldest daughter of the Su family, apart from Old Mr. Su, the rest of the Su family were not fond of her. The famous Su family heiress known to the outside world was not her, but Jiang Yis biological daughter who is two years younger than her, Su Yanyan. It is widely known in Nancheng that next month Su Yanyan will hold her engagement ceremony. But, what no one knows is, the man Su Yanyan is scheduled to be engaged to, is indeed Xing Yuyun, who was arranged as Su Wanwans fianc, two years ago. In other words, Su Wanwan was cheated on! Now, she is specially returning to the country to catch them in the act. But with Grandfather kept in the hospital, if she returned to the Su family alone, what if she was bullied by those rascals again? Ill apany you back! Mo Weiyi immediately said, Dont worry, when ites to a spectacle, Im the best at it! Forget it. Su Wanwan casually dismissed her, Its not that big of a deal. I can handle it on my own. You must note, otherwise I will end up worrying about you. Mo Weiyi, who felt neglected said: She admitted that her fighting capacity might be a bit low, but Is getting cheated on by a fianc of two years not a big deal? Though Xing Yuyun is an unfaithful guy and isnt good-looking, still being cheated on by an unfaithful guy isnt a good thing to go out in the open. Chapter 3 - 3 003, Slap the scum sister 3 003, p the scum sister Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Forty minutester, at the Su Family vi. After saying goodbye to her friend, Su Wanwan rang the doorbell. Maid Aunt Yang opened the door, staring at Su Wanwan, taking a moment to recognize her, My heavens, miss, you why did you suddenlye back? Su Wanwan was sent to study in LA at the age of eighteen and hadnt returned home in two years. In her memory, Su Wanwan was a girl with short hair, dyed gray like a granny, garishly made up, not the inly beautiful and cold-tempered maiden before her Aunt Yang. Su Wanwan rolled up the sleeves of her snow chiffon blouse, her expression icy, her tone ready for a fight, Is Su Yanyan at home? Um, second miss? She she Aunt Yang stuttered. Because after dinner, young master Xing seemed a bit tipsy. Su Yanyan said she was taking him upstairs to rest and asked everyone not to disturb them. They must be During her hesitation, Su Wanwan already dashed into the yard. ** Second floor of the vi. Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang Su Wanwan pounded on the bedroom door with determination. Soon enough, the door opened, a strong fragrance of rose and a flirtatious voice came out, What is it, Aunt Yang? It was Su Yanyan. Only eighteen this year, but frightfully matured. She had a neat, docile fringe, long and straight ck hair that reached her waist, delicate and soft features, fair skin, but all she had on now was a thin strap nightgown, almost suggestive of what she had been doing When Su Yanyan saw Su Wanwan, whom she hadnt seen for two years, standing at the door, her face quickly filled with surprise, Oh my, sister? Why is it you? The overacting act prompted Su Wanwan to let out a scornfulugh, Hmm. They had been living under the same roof for over ten years. It was the first time Su Wanwan heard Su Yanyan call her sister when they were alone together. Must be a day when the sun rises from the west, and its raining blood in the sky. Su Yanyan alsoughed, innocently and harmlessly. Sister, why did youe back suddenly without saying a word? I thought it was Aunt Yang knocking on my door. Brother Yun was just with me she hesitated for a moment, as if shy to say this, but changed her words anyway, Right, Aunt Yang, wheres the water I asked you to get? Quick, my beloved is thirsty. Alright, second miss, please wait. After Aunt Yang responded, she looked anxiously at Su Wanwan. Young master Xing had been engaged to Su Wanwan two years ago, with both of their grandfathers blessings. But not long ago, he suddenly became Su Yanyans fianc. The event upset their grandfather so much that he got sick It was such a sin. Aunt Yang, why are you still standing there? My beloved is thirsty, he wants to drink water, didnt you hear me? Su Yanyan urged. Okay, Ill go right now. Aunt Yang had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs. Su Yanyan immediately turned around to close her bedroom door. As she turned back, her expression was no longer that of an innocent little bunny. It seems youve already received those pictures I sent, right? Thats right, Brother Yun and I have been together for half a year now. I remember, that day happened to be my eighteenth birthday. We came together with blessings from all our friends. Her tone was flirtatiously sweet, proud, and full of show-off, By the way, sister, when you were with Brother Yun, was he also very clingy, always Su Yanyan let out a scream. A scream followed by the crisp sound of a p. Su Yanyan covered her pped left cheek, her shock quickly turning into rage, Su Wanwan! You dared to hit me? I dont like your face, so I hit you. What? Do I need to pick a date and check the almanac before hitting you? Su Wanwan looked at her, pale skin, red lips, bright and mboyant, You shamelessly seduced my fianc a year ago and became his mistress, not ashamed of your actions, but still unt it high-profile? Truly unparalleled before and after, you truly are a fighting hen among mistresses! Since you were so eager to be a whore, shouldnt you be prepared to get beaten by me today? Isnt it toote to y shocked now? Im a whore? What does that make you? Su Yanyan was seething with rage, cruelly lowered her hand, her expression quickly twisted, Dont think you are the rightful mistress of the Su Family just because Grandfather protects you. Youre nothing more than an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother. Your mother didnt fare much better than me! Your father never liked her! He was tricked by her into having you! And he never wanted to see you, because every time he saw you, he was reminded of the past, which angered him! Thats why he sent you to a boarding school since childhood, then sent you to study abroad, not allowing you to return home for two years. Its all because he despised you! Now youre not just an illegitimate daughter, but trash, trash dumped by Xing Yuyun after having enough fun. Whats left of you? What do you count as? What right do you still have to fight with me? Chapter 4 - 4 004, White Lotus Stepmother 4 004, White Lotus Stepmother Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Are you done? Su Wanwan coldly waited for her to finish speaking, and then without waiting for her to respond, subtly raised her hand. With a smack, another pnded on her face. Pain coursed over Su Yanyans face as she was pped twice in session. She could no longer endure, wing and lunging at Su Wanwan. But much to her surprise, Su Wanwan sidestepped and Su Yanyan ended up sprawling on the floor. Su Wanwans eyes flickered for a few seconds. Yuyun, Yuyun Su Yanyan began whimpering, her cries piercing the silent vi. As if premeditated, the door to the next room burst open. Jiang Yi, also known as Su Yanyans mother, rushed out followed by their father, Su Yuntang. When she saw her daughter sobbing on the floor, an obvious palm print swelling brightly on her left cheek Jiang Yi gasped, rushed over to help her up, Yanyan, what on earth has happened? Mom! Su Yanyan began toin, My sister found out about Yuyun and me, I tried to exin, but she wouldnt listen, and even hit me. Jiang Yi immediately turned to Su Wanwan, her expression torn and hesitant, Wanwan, you how could you Yes, I did hit her, so what? Su Wanwan crossed her arms, raised her chin haughtily and with a ruthless tone, This brat dared to seduce my fianc. How shamelessly disgusting! Since you, her mother, never disciplined her, I, as her sister, have to teach her a lesson. She has to learn what decency, duty, integrity, and shame really mean. Her acidic words left Jiang Yis face changing from red to white. Quickly, her eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her head, trying hard to suppress her tears. Her pitiful appearance immediately took effect. Shameless! Su Yuntang angrily stomped over, his hand raised to p. Su Wanwans face turned sideway under his hit. Jiang Yi gasped, Yuntang, what are you doing? How could you hit your own child? Child? She is about to turn twenty but still has no manners, spouting offensive words all day! You always speak well of her, but what kind of attitude does she have toward you? She has never respected you! Yuntang, dont talk like that Yeah. Su Wanwan turned her face, smiling faintly, The saying like mother, like daughter rings true. I find it absolutely repulsive seeing a parent encouraging her daughter to be a mistress. It makes me nauseous! Saying these words, she just looked at Su Yuntang, her stunning eyes directly fixated on him. They were full of mockery and provocation. The beauty spot under her right eye, emphasized by the bright red p mark, was as clear and disturbing as ever. Su Yuntang was bothered every time he saw that beauty spot, it reminded him of a woman who was as fickle as water, capable of igniting hatred and loathing from the depth of his heart in an instant. That was the biggest stain on his life! Both mother and daughter had an identical beauty spot, in the same location. His teeth clenched, his shoulders heaving violently, finally, he couldnt resist raising his right hand again. Yuntang, stop it, lets talk things out, dont hit her. Jiang Yi charade her way to stop her husband again. Jiang Yi at forty, due to a privileged life and good maintenance, still maintained an enchanting figure. Her weeping expression was simply irresistible. The so-called like mother, like daughter, both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan were convincing actresses of innocent victims. In front of others, she presented herself as the understanding, gentle and virtuous Mrs. Su. Even dealing with Su Wanwan, the illegitimate daughter, she appeared tolerant, gentle and patient. If Su Wanwan had not witnessed it herself, she would have never believed that a respectable woman like this would intentionally make her break a set of dishes,ter collect her blood from the shards to secretly conduct a paternity test at the hospital. Wanwan, I know you feel wronged, and I know you are fond of Yuyun, butyou know Yanyans personality, she just likes Yuyun too much, she didnt mean topete with you. Jiang Yi tried to exin. Really? Su Wanwans eyes turned icy. Suddenly, she pulled an envelope from her bag. Then, she threw one picture after another on the floor, all of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun together. Each one was intimate. Each one was shocking. Simply unbearable to behold! Chapter 5 - 5 005, I am Huo Jingshen 5 005, I am Huo Jingshen Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You say I know what type of person Su Yanyan is? Under Su Yuntangs deeply displeased gaze, Su Wanwan retorted with a cold ridicule, So she is an adulteress? The second daughter of the venerable Director Su, who actually enjoys sharing her private affairs with others, is she so starving for affection that shell take anything, or is she just psychologically twisted? Shes not shy about spreading these disgraceful photos out, she doesnt mind the humiliation, I fucking feel sick! Jiang Yi quickly went to pick up the photos, trying to exin, Wanwan, these photos were all secretly taken by a journalist, Yanyan didnt know anything about it. Shes also a victim. How could she spread out these photos Stop exining. Su Yuntang impatiently cut off his wife. Yuyun and Yanyan are deeply in love with each other. The Xing family has already epted it. Everything is done, no one is allowed to interfere anymore! Destroy these photos immediately, you Looking at Su Wanwan, his voice turned harsh, Get back to Los Angeles immediately! Hmm. Su Wanwan gave a cold sarcasticugh. This was her father, extreme in his favoritism! Clearly, she was the victim, despite the solid proof in front of her, he chose to stand by his other precious daughter. Did you hear what I said? Su Yuntang growled. Su Wanwan did not reply. Her gaze passed over everyone, looking towards the back. Xing Yuyun was standing there at some point. He was dressed in a dark blue silk pyjamas, handsome, and gentle-looking. Just out of the shower, his hair was wet, with water drops flowing down his face revealing the red marks He was the fianc her grandfather arranged for her two years ago, now involved with her half-sister from the same father! Su Wanwan suddenly felt waves of nausea as if she was about to vomit. Such a filthy man who cant control himself, I feel fucking dirty just looking at him! She red at Su Yanyan and gave a brightly sarcastic smile, Once is never enough, you better chain him up properly, dont let him cheat with another woman! After all, without a leash, a dog is easily lured away by meat! Having said this, Su Wanwan turned and left. Jiang Yi called out, Wanwan! Let her go! Su Yuntang was red in the face from anger, Dont worry about her! I pretend I never had this disgraceful daughter! Jiang Yi frowned and turned back to reason with him, only then, she noticed Xing Yuyun standing in the hallway. His face had turned extremely pale by this time. Obviously, he also heard what Su Wanwan had just insulted him. Su Yanyan then walked over, Yuyun, you Xing Yuyun did not say a word and simply turned around and walked back to his room. The room was still in a mess. Xing Yuyun went in and started changing his clothes. Watching him, Su Yanyan couldnt help but approach. She had checked Su Wanwans return flight in advance and even specifically invited Xing Yuyun to her home today. She put some drug in the red wine at dinner, plotting everything just to let Su Wanwan witness with her own eyes and give uppletely! Now she has finally achieved her goal after half a year of patience, and everything is aplished Su Yanyan was thrilled when suddenly Ah! A severe pain passed through her wrist. Xing Yuyun was gripping her wrist, his always gentle face now icy cold. Su Yanyan was in pain and scared. All these while she had known him, this was the first time she saw Xing Yuyun with such an expression. She quickly asked softly, Yuyun, whats wrong? Ow, it hurts, youre hurting my hand Why did Su Wanwan suddenly return home? Xing Yuyun stared at her, his expression dark. I have no idea. Su Yanyan feigned innocence, making her voice even more helpless, As soon as she arrived, she pped me twice and pushed me to the ground. Look, my face is hurting so much, and my foot is sprained too. I see? Xing Yuyun sneered coldly, Then what about the photos on the floor just now? He saw those photos? Su Yanyan became flustered, hastily trying to exin, II didnt know how to exin our rtionship to her, so I just copied those photos. But I didnt mean to send them out, I was really careless, who knew Do I look like Im an idiot? Do you think Id believe such ame excuse? Xing Yuyun finished speaking and flung her hand away. Su Yanyan was thrown harshly to the ground. Before she could react, the man had quickly gotten dressed and stormed out of the room. ** Nancheng X District mansion, Huo family vi. Nangong Ci parked his sports car and cheerfully proposed, Big Brother, were invited over to Gus residence for a card game tomorrow. Im busy tomorrow. Second Brother insists that you have toe, hes arranged for several top yers. He also mentioned that us men should A strange ringtone suddenly echoed. Owoooo! KO bit out a phone from under the car seat. It was covered with a pink protective sleeve and looked particrly tiny in the mans hand. Scanning the screen, Huo Jingshen immediately answered, Hello. Who are you? Why are you answering Wanwans call? Compared to the tense query on the other end, the mans voice seemed especially calm and soothing, I am Huo Jingshen. Big Brother? Chapter 6 - 6 006, Bar Disturbance 6 006, Bar Disturbance Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Huo family, is his cousin, Xing Yuyun has barely had any contact with him. He only knew that he emigrated to Y Country with his second uncle and aunt at a young age. After his parents passed away, Huo Jingshen returned home when the old man from the Huo family was suddenly diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer three months ago. The Huo family, being the first of Nanchengs Four Great Aristocratic Families, had established an unshakeable foundation through the military and political achievements of their forefathers. The old man from the Huo family delved into business at an early age, initially focusing on real estate. With the rapid expansion of their business, Huo Yuan Group has now be the leading enterprise in Nanchengsmercial sector, covering not only real estate and construction, but also technology, finance, investment, and so on. Its safe to say, Huo family has a stake in every profitable industry and in recent years. The old man has even maintained a stable position on the Forbes Rich List. Now, although the Huo family has three grandsons, the old man has maintained sole control of the Huo Yuan Group for many years. Therefore, the purpose of Huo Jingshens sudden return to the country is as clear as Sima Zhaos ambition, well known to everyone. With this in mind, Xing Yuyun naturally had his reservations towards his cousin. His eyebrows furrowed, Big brother, how is Wanwans cellphone with you? Wanwan? The mature mans deep and mellow voice made it sound intimate when he uttered these two sybles. Xing Yuyun was disgruntled listening to this, Yes, Wanwan sheshe He struggled to put it in words. Because he didnt know how to introduce hisplex rtionship with Su Wanwan to a cousin he wasnt familiar with. If theres nothing else, Im hanging up. Im busy. By the time Xing Yuyun snapped back to reality, the call was already disconnected. * * Late at night around 10 oclock, at the bar. Deafening heavy metal music began to y and under the lights, young men and women were swinging their bodies wildly and getting lost in the dance floor. In a booth in the corner, Su Wanwan picked up a bottle of beer and chugged it down. Soon, the table was filled with empty beer bottles. As she picked up another new bottle of beer Su Wanwan! Su Wanwan looked up, her beautiful eyes squinting as if she was trying to identify the person. Su Wanwan, dont you recognize me? Huo Zhexi sat across her, smiling, Im Huo Zhexi. A few years ago, Yuyun and I both paid a New Year visit to grandfather Su. We met then, dont you remember? Despite his enthusiasm, Su Wanwan still reacted coldly. Even after hearing his words, she didnt have any response and just continued to drink heavily. Huo Zhexi picked up a bottle of beer and tried to clink sses with her, I heard you went to study abroad in Los Angeles. Its been two years, hasnt it? Why didnt you say a word when you suddenly returned to the country Get lost! Huo Zhexis smile froze on his face at Su Wanwans words. Damn it. There were so many women in Nancheng trying to get close to him, but he rejected them all. He took the initiative to speak to her, and she actually had the audacity to ask him to leave? He was the grandson of Huo Yuanshan, Nanchengs richest man! The third young master of the esteemed Huo family! He was apanied by two friends today, both of whom were notable young masters of Nancheng. If word got out about this, how would he ever be able to show his face in the circle again? Furious, Huo Zhexi mmed the bottle down, Say that again if you dare! Get lost! Huo Zhexi: Damn it, she really dared to say it again? Did I hear it wrong, Zhexi? She told you to get lost, haha. Zhexi, can you handle it? Is there really a sister that even the young master Huo cant handle? Today, I have truly seen something new, hahaha. His two friends mocked him back and forth, making it impossible for Huo Zhexi to save face. He violently gripped Su Wanwans wrist, B*tch, apologize to me! Su Wanwan put down her beer and looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. She had always been pretty, and under the bizarre lighting of the bar, her face seemed even more delicate, her eyes shimmering. The peach blossom birthmark at the corner added a captivating charm. The delicate feel of her hand was like fat that had solidified, causing Huo Zhexis heart to flutter and his tone to soften a bit, Su Wanwan, actually, I know why youre drinking here. Is it because Xing Yuyun dumped you? How about this, since thats the case, why dont you be with me? I guarantee that the Su family will not dare to look down on you anymore, and Su Yanyan will not He should not have mentioned Su Yanyan, as soon as he did, Su Wanwan managed to find a switch. Suddenly, she swung the bottle in her hand and aimed it straight at his forehead. With a ng, the bar was thrown into chaos. ** Late at night, a shrill phone ring echoed through the Huo family vi. Before long, the sound of nging echoed from downstairs and it only got louder, showing no signs of stopping. Huo Jingshen went downstairs from the second floor and along the way, he could hear the roar filled with vigor. Honestly, it didnt sound like an old man suffering from cancer at all. Alright, Yuanshan, look, youve woken up Ashen! Seeing Huo Jingshening downstairs, old Mrs. Huo quickly pulled her husband. Bang! The old man of the Huo family put the jade teapot back on the tea table heavily and took a deep breath. The servants and drivers were all standing on the side of the living room, their faces tense. As for the floor, it was covered in shattered tea cups, water stains, and tea leaves Chapter 7 - 7 007, looks a bit familiar 7 007, looks a bit familiar Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Jingshen nced around briefly, his voice deep, Grandfather, whats happened? Your good-for-nothing third brother! Mentioning his younger grandson, the old master Huo was so angry that he began to blow his beard and stare, Having a big fight with someone in the bar in the middle of the night, and making a scene in the police station. They even called us, what a family misfortune! Three months after the diagnosis, Huo Yuanshan moved back into the main house. The house was heavily guarded and ideally suited for recuperation and treatment. But precisely because of this, all the neighbours know everything about each other and there are hardly any secrets. No wonder the old man is so angry about the old saying do not wash your dirty linen in public. Is Zhexi alright? What could possibly happen to him? He must have caused another problem and beaten someone up! This damned brat, without his parents around, is messing around every day, not behaving well and always causing trouble for me! The more Master Huo spoke, the angrier he became, and he yelled at the driver, Liang Fei, hurry up and drive, were going to the police station. Lady Huo quickly held him back, signaling with her eyes, Have you lost your mind? With your health, you want to go to the police station? Master Huo was stunned, immediately realizing and then ordered, Ashen, go to the police station with Uncle Liang and bring that brat back for me! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly, but could only agree, Okay. * * In a police station. It was already close to midnight. As soon as he walked into the interrogation room, he heard Huo Zhexis grievance-filled voice, Uncle Liang, it hurts like hell, youve got to back me up. There he sat, looking pitiful, with blood on his forehead, a bloody nose still bleeding, his handsome face swollen like a pigs head, and his clothes and trousers all creased Compared to the heartthrob he was when he left home in the morning, he seemed to be apletely different person. Meanwhile, a womany on the table next to him, her raven curls cascading down to the floor, her entire face hidden, but the snow-white chiffon she wore seemed familiar Big brother, why are you here? Huo Zhexi was surprised that his eldest brother woulde over sote. Ever since Huo Jingshen returned to the Huo family, it felt like he was indifferent to everyone. Since hes seven years older than him and they havent seen each other for more than a decade, Huo Zhexi found it hard tomunicate with him and felt a generation gap, not being familiar. The gaze of Huo Jingshen, deep and profound, What happened? Huo Zhexi gave a cold huff, unwilling to say more. He, a tall man over a metre eight, was actually beaten by a little girl, a damned disgrace! How could he possibly admit it? Moreover, she smashed every single thing in the bar. The bar owner moured forpensation, but his credit card had just been cancelled by his grandfather, his parents were not in the country, and he didnt have cash either, so of course he refused to pay, and consequently it led to the police station. Brother Huo, a friend of his tried to back him up, Heres what happened. We were drinking with Zhexi in the bar, and thisdy indiscriminately smashed a wine bottle on his head, and kicked and punched him. My God, that was some serious power, Zhexi is weak and we two couldnt stop her at all. Just look Zhexis face has been beaten into a pigs head. Huo Zhexis face darkened even more. Damn! These two pig-like teammates sure talk a lot! Did they bothe here to insult him? Whats this about him being weak? Its obviously because that damn girl is too strong. He thought she was pretty, but is this really a woman? Clearly a macho man! So youre the older brother of Young Master Huo? The bar owner had heard the noise and came over, Let me tell you, your brother and this youngdy had a fight and smashed up my entire bar. I have already calcted it, the total is four hundred and eighty-six thousand It wasnt me who did it! Huo Zhexi shouted. But Mr. Huo, just now this youngdy clearly stated that you invited her for a drink, so everything she smashed is on your ount Drink my ass! Are you blind? Didnt you see what she did to me? But she obviously knows you Who in Nancheng doesnt know me, Huo Zhexi? You actually believe her scam? Mr. Huo, you cant deny this Go screw yourself! Mr. Huo The two were arguing fiercely Damn it, why all this arguing! Su Wanwan seemed to have stood up at some point. Her eyes half-closed and her cheeks abnormally flushed, she looked drunkenly beautiful. Despite half of her exquisite corbone being exposed by her off-the-shoulders chiffon top that slipped to the left, and her raven curls disheveled on her shoulders making her look remarkablyzy, casual, and charming, she seemedpletely unaware of how tempting she was. She yawned greatly and then fiercely asked, Where is the bathroom? The policeman taking the statements was a young man, perhaps scared, he stuttered while giving her directions, Turnturn left after you go out. Su Wanwan yawned again and walked out as if nobody else was there. Damn it, you damn girl, stay right there! Just as Huo Zhexi was about to chase after her, a searing pain shot through his arm. Chapter 8 - 8 008, Female Drunkard 8 008, Female Drunkard Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was Huo Jingshen. He didnt even change his stance, just casually sealed off Huo Zhexis movement with one hand. Big brother, let goow! Ouch ouch ouch ouch Huo Zhexi grimaced in pain, his handsome face turned pale very quickly, he bent over midriff, the only word left in his mouth was begging for mercy. Uncle Liang, take the young master back to the car first. Huo Jingshen instructed. Okay, eldest master. Huo Zhexis arm was finally spared. He immediately started shouting and screaming, Uncle Liang, Im not going back, I want to find that bitch to rifyUncle Liang! Uncle Liang.. Uncle Liang used to be a soldier, although already in his fifties, he was much stronger than the weak and delicate Huo Zhexi. Then, he half-dragged Huo Zhexi and took him away. The interrogation room finally returned to tranquility. Huo Jingshen was still standing there, with his nearly 1.9-meter-tall body straight and slender. A few buttons of his white shirts cor were undone, and the sleeves had also been rolled up. It seemed very casual, but one could hardly ignore the strong aura exuding from him. Especially the casual sealing off just now, the echo of Huo Zhexis wail was still close at hand No one in the interrogation room dared to speak, even the once arrogant bar owner. Until Calcte the ounts. Huo Jingshen broke the silence. * * Money talks. Huo Jingshen was generous when it came to paying. The bail procedure was quicklypleted, and the bar owner also left satisfied. The staff responsible for the transcripts nced at the testimony recorded earlier and reminded, Mr. Huo, Miss Sus bail releaser hasnte yet. Huo Jingshens action paused, he looked up and asked, his voice as usual, Shes a Su? In Nancheng, and also just so happens to be a Su, could it be such a coincidence? Yes, her name is Su Wanwan. The police officer did not find it suspicious and continued, I just checked, this Su Wanwan had quite a record here two years ago C she has a track record! Fights, drinking, gambling, racing she even got suspected of hiding drugs! By the way, her father Su Yuntang is the deputy director of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau, but the bail releaser she mentioned earlier is Mo Weiyi, also known as Miss Mo Just sign the documents. Huo Jingshen interrupted him. It was already past one in the morning. The police officer saw that although Huo Jingshen was a man of few words, he handled things quickly, so he was also not willing toplicate things unnecessarily. The earlier they finished, the earlier he could fulfill his duty. * * As he stepped out of the interrogation room, Huo Jingshen received an international call. As he looked at the sign in front that read restroom, Huo Jingshen picked up his cell phone and pushed open the mens restroom door. Jingshen, I might need you to make a trip to the airport tomorrow. What happened? Its Ziyang, he snuck out and got on a ne, he should be arriving at Nancheng by noon tomorrow With a nk, a bathroom stall door was swung open, Huo Jingshen frowned as a dark figure lunged towards him. The force was quite strong, and because he was off guard, he was forced to take a big step back. Just as the woman was about to fall to the ground, he instinctively stretched out his arm. Su Wanwan also quickly reached out and grabbed him, she giggled out loud, looking rather carefree. Huo Jingshen looked at her flushed cheeks, quickly let go of his hand, only to find his sleeve clutched in her hand. Thank you. After Su Wanwan finished speaking, she let out a loud burp. She had drunk dozens of beers at the bar earlier. She drank so fiercely at the time that she didnt feel drunk, but didnt expect to go to the bathroom and almost fell asleep on the toilet. She barely managed to get up, when she immediately felt dizzy and her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, she couldnt even see the road clearly I have something to deal with here, Ill call youter. Ignoring the questions from his friend on the other end, Huo Jingshen instantly hung up the phone and forcefully tried to pry the woman off him. But Su Wanwan refused to let go. She tightly held on to the quilt in her hand, breathing in the faint, crisp scent, felt her whole body bing much morefortable. She even lowered her head and rubbed her face against him without any hesitation. The highly clean-conscious man instantly furrowed his brows, his face turned slightly gloomy, and deep down there was a growing dislike and impatience. Within a single day, this woman had managed to stain his white shirt twice. Chapter 9 - 9 009, reusing the old tricks? 9 009, reusing the old tricks? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing the still clinging drunk woman, Huo Jingshens eyes filled with intense disgust. Did this woman n to resort to the same tactics as she did at the airport? His dark eyes narrowed. He reached out to grip her arm with increasing strength, and in an instant, showed no mercy as he pulled her away. Su Wanwan was thrown onto the floor. The chill of the porcin tiles seemed to revive her senses a little, but in the next second She half sat on the floor, wrapping her arms around the quilt before her, with her face resting directly on the pillow, where she closed her eyes and sighed contentedly. Huo Jingshen stood there, looking at her small head From being previously calm, his expression gradually became somewhatplex. This damn woman! He raised his hand once again, intending to directly grab her by the hair and pull her away, but a voice suddenly came from behind him Young Master! Huo Jingshen: ** Old Liang never imagined he would encounter such a scene. The young master was standing in the mens restroom with a woman They even left the restroom door open! Good heavens, even though he thought the young master of the Huo Family was steady, he had not seen any women around him after returning to the country for several months. At most, he brought back a wolf dog not long ago to y with every day, but who wouldve thought That he wasnt clean-living, but had quirky tastes! Old Liang was so scared that he choked on his words, then watching as Huo Jingshen turned around, his deep ck eyes coldly staring at him. He was terrified! Young Master, you continue, Ill wait for you in the car. Saying this while trembling, Old Liang, with his red face, turned around and ran away. Uncle Liang, wheres my brother? Why isnt he done yet? Returning to the car, faced with the third masters questioning, Old Liangs expression was still somewhat unnatural, The eldest master is smoking, he should be back soon. Huo Zhexi looked in the rearview mirror at his own swollen face, gritting his teeth inint, Damn it, Im nearly disfigured, and he still feels like smoking? Has his conscience been eaten by a dog? Old Liang thought, how could he not be in the mood? Cough cough. He estimated his interest was great! ** Inside the mens restroom. After Old Liang left, Huo Jingshen reached out and forcefully pushed Su Wanwans head away. Su Wanwan let out a cry, but quickly moved back, her small hands clinging tightly to his legs, whining and persisting. For the thirty years he had lived, this was the first time anyone had ever dared to stick to him so audaciously. And it was a crazy drunken woman at that. Huo Jingshens eyebrows furrowed, he used more strength, and fiercely pushed her head away once more. After being pushed away several times in a row, Su Wanwan felt dizzy and ufortable. Finally, she gave up, deciding to abandon this pillow. With her eyes half-closed, she turned her head and leaned it against the wall beside her, sleeping contentedly. With disgust, he dusted off the dirt on his clothes, Huo Jingshen then went forward with long strides, he turned on the faucet. Lovers and adulterers, burp may all of you die! Huo Jingshen: He sidelong nced at her. Su Wanwan was leaning against the wall, and because she was tilting her head, her left cheek waspletely in view. There was a shocking, bright red handprint on it. In the mans dark eyes, there was a trace of indescribable depth. Was she the illegitimate daughter of the Su Family, Su Wanwan? He stood there, slowly drying his slim and elegant hands with a paper towel; the light from the ceiling cast a mysterious shadow over his handsome features. Wanwan, Wanwan, where are you? Wanwan, Wanwan Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps were heard from the hallway outside. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, threw the paper towel into the trash can, and walked away. ** In the corridor, Mo Weiyi, wearing high-heeled shoes, was running, followed by her husband, Xiao Yebai. Seeing the maning straight at her, Mo Weiyis eyes widened in shock, and she stopped in her tracks. Wow! It was actually Huo Jingshen. Even though her beloved Xiaobai was by her side, as a woman, she couldnt deny that Huo Jingshen was a very attractive man. Having lived in Nancheng for twenty years, this was the first time she had encountered this type of handsome man. Completely unlike her husbands icy, intimidating demeanour, Huo Jingshen was graceful, handsome, and proud, but extremely charming. Perhaps because he had lived in Y Country for a long time, his deep facial features and fashion sense added a natural British aristocratic style to him, making others unconsciously admire and probe Hiss! A sudden pain in her palm made Mo Weiyi wince. Her voice was pitiful and delicate, Xiaobai, why did you pinch me? Xiao Yebais sharp eyes were chilling behind his sses, Is he good-looking? Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat-like eyes, hurriedly wrapped her arms around the mans arm, coquettishly saying, Of course hes not as good-looking as you. My Xiaobai is the best-looking, number one in the world! I love Xiaobai the most! Xiao Yebai looked down at her, his thin lips curved in a slight, but not obvious smile. Chapter 10 - 10 010, drunk to the point of blacking out 10 010, drunk to the point of cking out Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Su Wanwan woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Seeing herself in a strange white gown Ahhhhhh! Damn it! Did she, by any chance, get taken advantage of while she was drunk? The door was quickly pushed open, and Mo Weiyi rushed in, What happened? Whats wrong? Su Wanwan closed her mouth, casting a disgusted look at the pink apron on her and the ridiculous spat in her hand Why am I at your ce? She remembered going out for a drinkst night after leaving the Su familys house. She bumped into this guy who couldnt stop bbering, who she ended up beating up. She broke a lot of things and then Massaging her temples, Su Wanwans head was throbbing with pain, but she couldnt remember anything. Ive told you so many times not to drink that much. Now you know what a hangover feels like, right? Wait here, Ill get some hangover tea for you. Mo Weiyi mumbled, quickly bringing over the tea. Su Wanwan looked at her virtuous demeanor, somehow feeling it was all wrong. Mo Xiaose, when did you change your persona? Who is Mo Weiyi? The sole heir of the Mo Group, which nearly monopolizes all the catering and entertainment industries in Nancheng, owns a number of international hotel chains, and has a foot in both the legal and illegal worlds. A true socialite! Shes rich, beautiful, and the envy of many! With her illustrious background, gorgeous looks, and being called a princess all her life They had been best friends since kindergarten because they were very alike. Theyd been together for over ten years, and she knew Miss Mos personality inside and out. How did she go from a princess who never lifted a finger to a housewife ready to cook and clean just because she got married? Xiaobai made it. After Mo Weiyi spoke, Su Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically, Thank you! It was a huge bother that the CEO of the prestigious Mo Group made the hangover tea for her, a worthless ant. After finishing lunch, Su Wanwan said, Im going to see grandpa this afternoon. Okay, Ill go with you. After Mo Weiyi replied, she remembered something else, By the way, did your phone run out of battery? I couldnt reach you all night. I lost it. She noticed her phone was missing at the bar, not sure if she misced it or it got stolen. Then how did you end up drinking with Huo Zhexi? Mo Weiyi started gossiping. Huo Zhexi? Su Wanwan didnt recognize the name, Whos that? Huo Zhexi, the third young master of the Huo family, a well-known yboy in Nancheng. The police said you hit him over the head, almost disfiguring him. But instead of settling the score with you, Huo Jingshen paid for all the damage you caused at the bar. Huo Jingshen? Su Wanwan blinked in confusion, And whos he? Mo Weiyi: A drunk woman with memory loss is truly terrifying! * * Su Xueqin was staying at Nangong Hospital, the most luxurious private hospital in Nancheng. Backed by the medical aristocratic Nangong family, the patients here were all wealthy and influential. The hospitals management was very private and strict; without a special VIP card, ordinary visitors couldnt get in. Luckily, they had Mo Weiyis well-known pretty face. The receptionist treated her with great respect: Miss Mo, Mr. Sus room number is 2019. Take the elevator to the 20th floor, and turn left. Thanks. Mo Weiyi snapped her fingers, and the driver and bodyguard, carrying boxes of all sizes, filed into the elevator. Disying a truly princess-like demeanor! When they got to the 20th floor and the elevator doors opened, they ran into two familiar faces in the hallway. Su Wanwan quickly squinted her eyes. Su Yanyans sarcastic voice started ringing out, Wow, the Miss of the Su family finally decided to visit grandpa at the hospital? Today, she was dressed in an elegant floral dress with high heels, paired with long straight ck hair and neat bangs, perfectly fitting the image of a good girl in the eyes of the elders. Jiang Yi smiled warmly, Wanwan, so you went to see Mo Xiaosest night. You should have called and let us know, you left your dad worried all night. Chapter 11 - 11 011, just a worn-out shoe 11 011, just a worn-out shoe Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mrs. Su, isnt that a strange thing to say? Mo Weiyi raised her delicate brows, Wanwan was so upset she left home and stayed at mine for the whole night. Yet there was no call from you to inquire about her. Jiang Yi replied without losing her smile, Isnt it normal for a parent and child to have a little disagreement? Anyway, we all know that Wanwan has a great friend like Miss Mo in Nancheng. Yuntang also specifically asked me to bring Yanyan to visit her father today, predicting Wanwan would certainlye to see her grandfather today. Seeing that Wanwan is alright, I feel at ease now. Jiang Yis witty remarks ascribed the reason for Su Wanwans leaving to father-daughter conflict, absolving herself and praising Mo Weiyi, without mentioning Xing Yuyun at all What a crafty move. Mo Weiyi had no retort and was left gnashing her teeth in anger. Wanwan, after visiting your grandfather, please return home. Its not good to impose on Miss Mo all the time. Aunt Yang has already prepared your favorite dishes for lunch, said Jiang Yi in a mother-like tone. No need, Su Wanwan declined, Ill leave those dishes for your future son-inw. What nonsense are you spouting, Su Wanwan? When did Yuyun be my son-inw? Su Yanyan was instantly angered by her words. Hasnt he moved in? Su Wanwan tilted her face, her voice innocent yet mischievous, Hes beening to our house every day, even sleeping in your bedroom. It made me think that I had returned to the Xing Family instead. Su Wanwan, you Yanyan, Jiang Yi pulled her daughter back suddenly. Because the door of the sickroom opened, someone wasing out. Caught up in the moment, Su Wanwan went up to him, Uncle Zhou. Miss? Zhou Teng was surprised, When did you return to China? Last night, Su Wanwan, not wanting to borate, asked, Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather? Oh, the previous operation was sessful, and his health has been improving. His spirit is very good today. If he knew that youvee back from overseas specifically for him, he will be very happy. He may even recover and leave the hospital soon! Concluding his words, Zhou Tengs smile vanished as he shifted his gaze toward Jiang Yi, The old man says hes feeling unwell and doesnt wish to see anyone. Madam, please go back ande visit another time. His attitude before and after was dramatically different. Even with Jiang Yis supreme bodynguage skills, she failed to keep her face color from changing. Su Yanyan stamped her feet in rage, Why does grandfather always do this? Wevee so many times but he refuses to see us. I bet hes just doing it deliberately to annoy us! Mo Weiyi could not help butugh, Your Grandfather became hospitalized due to anger caused by you, isnt it normal for him not to see you guys? You dare have the audacity to visit him after what youve done? And youre upset that he doesnt want to see you? Such thick skin. What did I do, what do you mean by that Never mind, Jiang Yi jerked her daughter to a stop, her tone still gentle and affectionate, If Dad doesnt wish to see us, then well just leave. After saying this, she led Su Yanyan away. ** Once inside the elevator, Jiang Yi began to lecture, Yanyan, remember that you are Su Familys daughter. You must watch your behavior and words whenever you are in front of others. Think twice before you act impulsively. Its just Mo Weiyi, whats so great about her? Mom, what are you so afraid of? Su Yanyan was dissatisfied. All these years, because of Su Xueqins pampering, that wretched Su Wanwan was acting arrogant and dismissive of everyone! Despite being the illegitimate child of a mere mistress, she enjoyed more privilege than she, the legitimate daughter of the Su family. And Mo Weiyi, who always ignored her at parties, had a haughty aura of a princess. No matter how many times she tried to please or tter her, it didnt work. Su Yanyan felt it was all because of Su Wanwans behind-the-scene scheming! If only she had been wary of this illegitimate sister earlier Its not a matter of fear, Jiang Yi was having a headache. No matter what, Su Wanwan carries the blood of the Su Family in her veins. Even if she resented it, despised it, or had even personally gone to the hospital for a DNA test, these were undeniable facts. She just didnt understand why Su Xueqin was so protective of a child borne by a mistress? Moreover, he ordered her to keep the incident confidential. So what if shes close to Mo familys daughter? Wasnt she also dumped by Yuyun? Shes just a woman scorned. Whats there for her to be proud of? Su Yanyans mood suddenly improved when Xing Yuyun was mentioned, Mom, since grandpa doesnt want to see us, lets go to the bridal shop. I want to pick out a few more dresses. Even if Xing Yuyun was madst night, it would not change anything. At the engagement party, she would let everyone in Nancheng know that she, Su Yanyan, was the true daughter of Su Family! And Xing Yuyun, was her man! On the day of engagement, she would be the most beautiful woman present, forcing Su Wanwan to feel ashamed and retreat! Chapter 12 - 12 012, you bastard 12 012, you bastard Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hospital ward. Old man, look whos here. The elderly man who was reading a newspaper on his bed looks up, adjusting his reading sses, carefully identifying the person in front of him. Su Wanwans voice choked up, Grandpa, its me. Having not seeing each other for two years, Su Xueqin seemed to have aged by more than a decade. His temples were greying, his cheeks hollow, and his hospital gown made his sickly appearance even more pronounced. Wanwan? Su Xueqin was surprised, Is that you, Wanwan? Su Wanwan at 18 was going through a teenage rebel phase two years ago. She had short, granny-gray hair, wore heavy make-up every day, sporting bizarre outfits or unrecognizable cosy ensembles. The only thing she refrained from was facial piercings or tattoos. Today, in order to spare her grandfather any worry, Su Wanwan carefully dressed herself, covering the handprint on her face and borrowed adylike dress from Mo Weiyi. She was naturally beautiful, with a petite face, delicate features, and the pink dress enhanced her fair skin, bright and appealing allure. So, it was no surprise that Su Xueqin couldnt recognize her. The current Su Wanwan, whether it was her facial features, her figure, or her overall appearance, was totally different from two years ago. It was an absolute transformation. Sir, Zhou Teng grinned, Miss Su came back to visit you specifically. Mo Weiyi also chimed in sweetly, Yes, Grandpa Su, all these health supplements are gifts from Wanwan. No need for gifts, just your presence alone is enough, Su Xueqin grumbled but he couldnt hide his broad smile. Su Wanwan cut straight to the chase, Grandpa, were you sick because that mother and daughter upset you? Bang! The teacup on the bedside table was knocked over, shattering on the floor. That bastard from the Xing family! I will not forgive him this time! Su Xueqin burst out, unable to control his rage. Xing Yuyun had been his carefully selected pick for a grandson-inw in Nancheng. Two years ago, Su Wanwan and Xing Yuyun had been betrothed under the arrangement of both families. Who could have known this bastard had snuck off with his niece and worse, had shameful photos of it snapped by the paparazzi! If it hadnt been for his connections squashing the news, who knows what bigger scandal this would have turned into! Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly tried to soothe him, Grandpa, dont be angry, I actually dont like Xing Yuyun. Su Xueqins brows furrowed deeply in silence. He clearly didnt believe her. I wouldnt have gotten engaged to him in the first ce if it wasnt for you liking him. Su Xueqin was startled. Its true. Su Wanwan confirmed, I couldnt bear to disappoint you, so I went along with it. Su Xueqin looked at his granddaughter for a moment, and sighed long and sadly, I thought he was a promising young man, and Ive known the Xing family for many years. I didnt think Ay! Dont worry, Wanwan. Ill find you a man who is much better than Xing Yuyun! Theres no need, Grandpa. Su Wanwan quickly refused, Im only 20 years old. I dont want to get married so early. Whats wrong with marrying early? If you marry well, then I can rest assured. Then Su Xueqin pointed to the pretty Mo Weiyi, Look at Miss Mo. She got married at 18. Now she and her husband have a great life. The head of the Mo family no longer needs to manage thepany, hes enjoying his life. I suppose before long theyll start having grandchildren. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips slightly. Grandchildren? Err Anyway, I dont want to get married. Su Wanwan quickly changed the subject after she finished her sentence, Grandpa, you concentrate on getting better first. Ille to visit you every day from now on, and Im not leaving Nancheng anymore. If she were to return to Los Angeles for another two years, she doubted she would have a ce in the Su family anymore. Su Xueqin, who never wanted Wanwan to study so far away, immediately agreed, Good, then dont ever leave. Stay by grandpas side. Ill find you a better husband. Su Wanwan: Why are we back to the same topic? ** At seven oclock in the evening, Su family vi. In the dining room on the first floor, a white tableclothyed dinner table was set with a splendid array of dishes. The family was having dinner. When they saw Su Wanwan walk in, theughter and chatter instantly stopped. Everyone at the table had varying expressions, some surprised, some angry, while Xing Yuyun scowled. From the moment Su Wanwan suddenly appeared at the Su residence in a state of disarray yesterday, disappearing for a whole day and unreachable by phone Although Xing Yuyun seemed calm on the surface, his guilty conscience made him a bit anxious. However, what he didnt expect was that when they met again at this moment, Su Wanwan had entirely lost the fury she disyed the night before. In fact, there was no trace of any emotion on her face. Logically, a woman who had suffered from heartbreak should either be gloomy or furious like yesterday. But the Su Wanwan standing in front of him now. She was wearing a pink chiffon dress that reached her ankles, with thetest popr delicate makeup. Her features were exquisite, her figure graceful, and even her smile was pleasing and appropriate. Especially her fluffy, perfectly curled long hair that casually draped over her shoulders, conveying azy and intense feminine aura. In short, she was radiant! Miss, let me get you some cutlery. Thank you, Aunt Yan. Su Wanwan gave a slight smile and took a seat at one end of the table. As she wiped her hands with a wet wipe, she casually said, Ive run out of living expenses. Bang! Su Yuntang mmed down his chopsticks, Did youe back to this house just to ask me for money? Yeah. Su Wanwan answered nonchntly, causing Su Yuntangs face to darken instantly. It was a sign that he was about to get angry. Dad! Su Yanyan immediately started adding fuel to the fire, Look at her attitude! Jiang Yi gave her daughter a warning look, then spoke in a soft and gentle voice, Wanwan, are you out of living expenses? How much do you need? Tell me, and Ill transfer it to youter. Su Wanwan spared her a nce, her lips opening slightly to say, 170,000. Jiang Yi was taken aback. 170,000? What for? What do you need so much money for? Su Yuntang demanded in a stern voice. Su Wanwan picked up the red wine in front of her, took a small sip, her beautiful eyes closing into slits, and saidzily, I need to move out. Rent, furniture, all need money. But I cant help it. I dont want to live here in the future. Every day in this house, I would have to watch my former fianc being all lovey-dovey with my dear sister. Besides, this house is old and the sound instion isnt good. My room is right next to hers. I can hear every little noise and shes soloud Cough, cough, cough! Su Yanyan was so angry she choked on her soup. Jiang Yi looked awkward. Su Yuntang mmed the table and stood up, You ungrateful little! Chapter 13 - 13 013, Nancheng University 13 013, Nancheng University Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion If youre not moving out, thats fine too. Su Wanwan suddenly changed her tone. After all, grandfather will be discharged from the hospital and returning home for recovery tomorrow. Weve had many visitors these past days, thus it might be less inconvenient if some people could control themselves better. If thats too difficult, maybe they should consider getting a hotel room. Youre all above 17 anyway, legally adults, so theres no need to sneak around as if youre afraid of being caught by paparazzi. Her words were full of insinuation, making everyones faces turn colorful. Su Yanyan was ready to blow her top, but greatly to her annoyance, she had to suppress her anger since Xing Yuyun was sitting right next to her. Dad, listen to her, she whined, Shes unbearable! Su Yuntangs eyes bulged with rage, and his blood pressure skyrocketed. First, it was the hefty 170,000. Then she turned to quibbles about their age, 17. One moment she talked about moving out, the next she was using Su Xueqin to pressure him! What sins had hemitted to deserve such a tormenting child in his lifetime? Wanwan just has a sense of humor, Jiang Yi intervened, suppressing her displeasure. Since father is going to be discharged tomorrow, Mrs. Yang, please make sure to clean up fathers room Mrs. Yang, please clean up my room as well, Su Wanwan added. Ill be heading to Nancheng University in September so I need my desk moved to the balcony. Enrolling at Nancheng University? What do you mean? Su Yanyan immediately picked up on the key point. I forgot to mention it. Su Wanwan responded with a smile. Im not going back to Los Angeles. Grandfather and Grandfather Chu have already made arrangements for me to join Nancheng University as a junior this fall. What? Su Yanyan jumped to her feet. She made such a racket that she scraped the chairs legs on the floor, creating a screeching noise. Nancheng University was the mainstay of Nancheng, the highest-ranking academy in the country, and the dream of countless aspiring students. How much effort had she invested, how many top-flight tutors had she employed, to barely scrape past the admission cut-off, only for Su Wanwan to transfer in so easily? The biggest irony was that Su Wanwan would be a junior, effectively her senior. For years, Su Yuntang had sent Su Wanwan to a boarding school, allowing her some peace. Now, they were going to be attending the same university, running into each other constantly. How was she supposed to endure it! Jiang Yi, too, was taken aback. She knew that Su Xueqin doted on Su Wanwan, but she never imagined it would go to this extent The usually calm, upright Su Yuntang had even gone to the Chus to pull strings for such a matter? The dinner ended in a farce. Su Yanyan, not able to bear the humiliation, excused herself on the grounds of loss of appetite and sobbed her way upstairs. Before Jiang Yi could send Xing Yuyun up tofort her, he suddenly stood up. Wanwan,e with me to the balcony. I have something to tell you. Upon hearing this, Jiang Yis face turned stiff. Su Wanwan just raised an eyebrow, What is it that my brother-inw cant say in here? Yuyun. Su Yuntang warned. Xing Yuyun suppressed his impatience, assurance in his voice, Uncle, dont worry. I just want to rify something between Yanyan and me. But Im not at all interested in any of the crap between you two. Also, this is the Su family. Su Yanyan is crying upstairs while my sister and her fianc are going to the balcony? It doesnt seem appropriate? Su Wanwan said, pouring the wine from the decanter into her ss. Her cool side profile made her point, Isnt that right, dad? Su Yuntang red at Su Wanwan, his temper somewhat assuaged, Yuyun, rest assured. Ive already discussed this with your granddad. The engagement banquet for you and Yanyan will be held on the 20th of next month as nned. Xing Yuyun stood there, a storm brewing in his eyes. After a long pause, he answered with a single word, Okay. Chapter 14 - 14’. 014, Mr. Huo Appears Chapter 14. 014, Mr. Huo Appears Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion , Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Deep into the night. In a bedroom on the second floor of a vi in Lishui Bay, a sudden shrill ring from a cell phone shattered the quiet. Mo Weiyi picked it up and nced at it before quickly hanging up. Why arent you answering? There was a hint of annoyance in the mans deep and indifferent voice. Insurance salesperson Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang again. Mo Weiyi, cursing, Shameless, hung up once more. When the ringtone persisted for the third time, the phone was swiftly snatched away. Seeing the three characters Xing Yuyun on the screen, Xiao Yebai threw the phone back coldly, Get it over within a minute. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to answer, her tone was exceptionally rude, Hello, scumbag, dont you have any manners calling in the middle of the night? Xing Yuyun remained unfazed, Hello Miss Mo, this is Xing Yuyun. I have a few things Id like to inquire about. If its about Wanwan, rest assured, I wont tell you anything. Miss Mo. Xing Yuyun interrupted, I only want to know when did Wanwan meet my cousin? Who? Mo Weiyi didnt understand who he was referring to right away. Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen? Mo Weiyi responded with a long oh and swiftly turned the gears in her head. Yanyan told me that Wanwan was with youst night, but from what I know, someone else was with her. I knowyou and Wanwan are best friends, you must know everything about her. I have no other intentions, I just want to know what the current rtionship between Wanwan and Huo Jingshen is. After leaving the Su Family, Xing Yuyun couldnt figure out the reasons behind Su Wanwans sudden change of attitude. The only possibility was Yeah, what about it? Regretting your decisions after seeing Wanwan with a new prospective suitor, are you? Xing Yuyun: He didnt want to admit it, but seeing Su Wanwan quickly establishing a rtionship with another man stirred up mixed feelings within Xing Yuyun. Especially when that man was Huo Jingshen Before he could respond, Mo Weiyi unleashed a string of curses at him, Let me tell you something, scumbag, ever since you cheated and got involved with Su Yanyan, Wanwan has had nothing to do with you! You have no say in who Wanwan is with now! You dont have the right to interfere! I wonder, who do you think you are, Xing Yuyun? Who gave you such confidence to toy with Wanwan s feelings? You wouldnt even be in your current position if it werent for your support from the back. Isnt itmon knowledge in Nancheng who your Xing family relies on? Do you fancy yourself some kind of royalty? Pah! Without the Huo Family, whats the worth of your Xing Family? And you, the most you are is just a grandson-inw to the Huo Family. What do you have topete with Huo Jingshen? Huo Jingshen is the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. Their patriarch highly regards him. Ive heard that hes already taking over Huo Yuan Real Estate. The entire Huo Yuan Group will sooner orter fall into his hands. So Id advise you to take a good look at yourself and understand your limitations. What exactly makes you think that you areparable to Huo Jingshen? If you dare to harass Wanwan again, be careful, I might expose those shameless pictures of you and Lai Na, showing your true colors to everyone in the Su Family. So you and Su Yanyan wont be able to get engaged! After that, without waiting for Xing Yuyun to react, she quickly hung up the phone. Finally having the chance to reprimand the scumbag and help Wanwan vent her resentment, what a relief! ** The next day, Su Wanwan arrived at the hospital early in the morning. It was only after Su Xueqin had finished breakfast with Su Wanwan that Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan finally arrived. Reproaching herself for being pre-empted by Su Wanwan again, Su Yanyan hurried over, calling out to her grandfather in a sweet and delicate tone. But Su Xueqin kept his head down, focusing on his newspaper, not raising his head or uttering a single word as if he hadnt heard her at all. Grandpa, Dad has an important meeting this morning and cant make it. He especially asked Mom and me to pick you up from the hospital Su Xueqins head remained down. Su Yanyan, embarrassed and annoyed, was about to speak again Yanyan. Jiang Yi held back her daughter. Go, help your grandfather tidy up the things on the sofa. But mom Just go! Jiang Yi signaled with her eyes and emphasized her words. Left with no choice, Yanyan obediently went to clean up the items. Su Wanwan couldnt bear to witness the mother-daughter duos ttery and stood up to say, Grandfather, Ill go handle the discharge procedure. Old Master Su immediately looked up, Why the hurry? Let them handle it, you just sit here and rest! Jiang Yis eyes twitched slightly, and Yanyans face instantly went pale. The drastic change in the old mans attitude was simply too apparent. Su Wanwan smiled, Thats fine. I need to get some fresh air anyway and they can clean up for you. Old Master Su read his granddaughters impatience and could only nod, Alright, off you go. ** Su Wanwan arrived at the office only to find it empty. Miss Su, please wait a moment. Ill rush the deputy director. The nurse left after uttering these words. Su Wanwan stood there, scanning the entire office. The office had a modern decor, equipped with a separate lounge and balcony. The balcony even had a recliner and various nts Luxurious indeed, but why was there a faint smell of smoke? Knock, knock, knock. Someone was knocking on the door. Su Wanwan turned around, surprised to see Xing Yuyun entering. Wanwan. Mr. Xing, it seems you got my title wrong? Xing Yuyun suppressed his temper, I have a question for you. Ask me? Su Wanwan looked at him, overly dramatic, Your fiancee and mother-inw are downstairs. Are you sure youre not looking for the wrong person, brother-inw? She dragged the two sybles of brother-inw unusually long,ced with heavy sarcasm. SU Wanwan. Provoked by her mockery, Xing Yuyuns tone hardened, I want to ask you, on the night of our return to the country, did you spend the night with Huo Jingshen? Are you f* eking stupid? Profanity slipped out of her mouth flippantly. Huo Jingshen? What the hell was he talking about? Persistent like a damn fly and making no sense! Why did he answer when I called your mobile? Why was your phone in his possession? Xing Yuyun continued to press. Looking at him as if he was an idiot, Su Wanwan asked, And then? Seeing her implicitly admit, Xing Yuyun instantly lost hisposure. If Mo Weiyi had greatly wounded his male ego, then Su Wanwans attitude was only rubbing salt into the wound. He blurted out in a burst of anger, I just want to warn you, Huo Jingshen is not a good man. Hes been overseas for nearly 20 years. His parents have passed away early, and he is known to be aloof. His sudden return to the country is seen as suspicious, even by his own family. They find his personality strange and difficult to get along with. This wealthy overseas-based man has very liberal views, and he is notorious for seducing young women and manipting rtionships. I heard he has had many women in Y Country, and his private life is quite chaotic. Youre young and naive, and I think hespletely unsuitable for you. He Hes just too old So, it turns out I, Huo Jingshen, am an old man who specializes in manipting rtionships. The unexpected deep male voice gave Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan a start. Turning around, they saw a figure standing on the balcony. He was dressed in a white shirt and ck suit trousers, his sleeves half rolled up. One hand was tucked into the trouser pocket, while the other hung loosely by his side, holding a half-smoked cigarette between his slender fingers. Despite his casual appearance, the cold gaze beneath his eyes sent chills up their spines.. Chapter 15 - 15: 015, no experience Chapter 15: no experience Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The air was deathly quiet. There was a An indescribable awkwardness. Xing Yuyun had never expected that Huo Jingshen would appear here, and coincidentally, heard the words he had just said. Gossiping behind someone elses back Even if what he said was the truth, it showed that his character was not particrly great. Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, stubbing out the cigarette in the ashtray on the table. Through the thin blue smoke, his voice was slow but utterly devoid of warmth, It seems that the Xing family has some gripes about me. Xing Yuyuns handsome face nched suddenly, then flushed. For a moment, he wanted to exin, but he opened his mouth, and under the mans seemingly calm but innately powerful aura, he couldnt utter an exnatory word. In this eerily awkward silence Jingshen. A womans charming voice suddenly sounded. Xing Yuyuns face underwent another change. He watched as Su Wanwan sauntered over, ending up next to Huo Jingshen. Due to the height difference, she was a head shorter than the man. But when the two stood together, the man towering, the woman delicate and beautiful, their eyes locked, deep emotions shed between them. The image was eerily harmonious, as if they were a couple deeply in love. Youre so annoying, didnt I tell you to stay hidden and not show up? Su Wanwan continued with her feigned girlish voice, pouting after she finished speaking. Seeing him remain silent, she boldly reached out her hands, directly wrapping them around the mans robust arm, Kyah, tell me, did you smoke behind my back again? Huo Jingshen looked at her, his ck eyes deep and intense, but he didnt react. Su Wanwan grimaced, then allowed her hand to slide down. She delicately caressed, separating his fingers, then intertwined hers with his. Umm, his hand was really big. It felt as though it could wrap around her entire hand. They finally interlocked their fingers. Su Wanwans heartbeat quickened, and the foreign feeling of touch in her palm made her quite nervous. Because of the backlight, she couldnt make out the expression on his face. But what she could be sure was, he hadnt pushed her away. This gave Su Wanwan a boost of confidence. Initially, she had only wanted to use him to fake a rtionship, to stir Xing Yuyun up, to let him know she wasnt without suitors, and to let him witness it andpletely give up. Both of them had girlfriends and boyfriends respectively. After this, they would not interfere with each other. Everyone should just live peacefully. Who knew, she was suddenly enveloped by a strong force. Before Su Wanwan could react, the mans face had moved closer Damn it! Su Wanwans eyes widened suddenly. A gust of summer heat blew in from the balcony. Even the air seemed to carry a peculiar tang of romance. *** Some time had passed. Had enough? As soon as Huo Jingshen spoke, Xing Yuyuns pupils contracted sharply. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were already clouded by stormy emotions. Eventually, he turned around and stomped away, mming the door behind him. Bang! The loud sound snapped Su Wanwan out of her daze. Damn it! She forcefully pushed the man away, spitting into the air more than a dozen times. Disgusting! The stench of a mans smoke! Annoyed and embarrassed, Su Wanwan red up at him, You damn pervert, who allowed you Never had experience before? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, serene andposed, his tone certain. From their previous encounters, he thought she was an old hand at this, but who would have thoughtthis youngdy was actually so inexperienced. None of your business whether I have experience or not! Su Wanwan didnt deny it. She retorted angrily, You owe me! She was talking nonsense, but Huo Jingshen Alright. He made a move to approach her, Ill make it up to you now. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Su Wanwan screamed in fright. What a jerk. She had thought he was decent the other day in the car at the airport but The room door was suddenly pushed open again Big Brother! Chapter 16 - 16: 016, stop babbling and dawdling. Chapter 16: stop babbling and dawdling. Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nangong Ci, dressed in his white coat and clutching a file, stood at the door pretending to be innocent. Upon seeing a pair of cold eyes sweep over him He quickly turned around, Carry on, I didnt see anything, pretend I was never here. -Deputy Dean. The speaker was the young nurse from earlier, Where did you run off to? People have been looking for you for ages, Miss Su is waiting for your signature. Her eyes lit up with admiration, her voice sweet and coquettish, making even Su Wanwans previously forced voice sound genuine! Ahem. Nangong Ci coughed twice, speaking with dignity, Whats your rush? I am here now, arent I? He left only for a minute to go and check a ward downstairs, and the elder brother immediately made advances on the littledy in his office. Talk about seizing the opportunity! So impatient! All the nonsense about virtue and moral integrity-bullshit! It was all bloody nonsense! Old men really are closeted perverts! Completely and utterlyscivious! After dismissing the enamored young nurse, peach blossoms twinkled in Nangong Cis eyes as he scanned the faces of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan. He shook his head and clucked his tongue, Elder brother, your moves are really efficient, just two days and youve got the girl. And the situation is this intense alreadylooks like Ill have to knock to make sure the coast is clear before entering my own office, hahaha Su Wanwan shot Huo Jingshen a deadly re. Suppressing her embarrassment, she turned to Nangong Ci, Are you my grandfathers primary doctor? She had already reviewed the case. Her grandpas surgery was performed by this hospitals Deputy Dean, a renowned surgeon with numerous sessful surgeries and countless international awards under his belt. She had thought he would be an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, but he turned out to be this yboy? Nangong Ci seemed surprised, You are Grandpa Sus granddaughter? So, aside from Su Yanyan, the Su family had another precious daughter hidden away? My grandfather is leaving the hospital today, please Amazing! Nangong Ci pped with exaggerated shock, Since you are Grandpa Sus granddaughter, and he especially likes me, I can put in a good word or two for elder brother in front of Grandpa Su Can you just cut the chatter! Su Wanwan said irritably, and pped the table, Im in a hurry. Please proceed with discharge formalities quickly! Nangong Ci: ** Once the formalities werepleted, Su Wanwan pretty much fled the scene. The office fell silent for a while, and then Hahahaha! Nangong Ciughed till he pounded the table, Cut the chatter? Hahaha! Elder brother, did yourdy y too much King Glory? Hahaha! It was absolutely hriously! Huo Jingshen sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette with long, slender fingers, and casually remarked, Youughing like that makes you look like an idiot. II II Theughter ceased. Nangong Cis mouth twitched violently. After a moment, unable to resist, he sidled over, Elder brother, this girl is too intense. Can your old bones handle it? Dont end up unable to handle it and get broken down I have to return to Y Country in a few days. Huo Jingshen cut him off. What? Is the Eastern Alliance causing trouble for Yunda again? Nangong Ci immediately sat up straight. Although Huo Jingshen returned to China to take over Huo Yuan Group, he has established his own business empire in Europe. Nangong Ci also has a stake in Yunda, so his attitude quickly became serious. After taking a drag from his cigarette, Huo Jingshen spoke in a calm tone, -Xihan is nning to coborate with the Eastern Alliance. Fu Xihan was Huo Jingshens senior back in college in Y Country, and could be considered as the second founder of Yunda. Nangong Ci frowned, So what are you implying? Huo Jingshen gave him a sharp look, Why dont you go? Absolutely not! Nangong Ci said with dignity, As perfect a man as me, how could I casually enter the tomb of matrimony? Besides He spoke with an ambiguous tone, The young miss from the Eastern Household likes you and doesnt fancy other men at all! Shes not bad herself, albeit a bit arrogant. Shes 28 this year, not a bad match for you whos 30, right? Also, shes a pretty woman with well-proportioned features, a strong woman indeed. Shes been smitten with you for so many years, and could possibly help with the European market in the future. Additionally, you could own twenty percent of the Eastern Alliance s shares The rest of his words were cut off trenchantly under the warning look from someone. Nangogong Ci cleared his throat twice and stood up, walked over to the table, and casually picked up a textbook That Su Wanwan, Huo Jingshen suddenly began, should be the person the Eastern Alliance has been relentlessly searching for. With a thud, the hefty Practical Cardiology hit the tabletop. What do you mean? Nangong Ci turned around, an incredulous and puzzled look on his handsome face, Are you approaching the girl for this reason? The Eastern Alliance holds a great amount of power in Europe, but in recent years, they secretly sent people to conduct confidential investigations in our country, the exact details unknown to anyone. Huo Jingshen took a drag from his cigarette, the handsome face in the smoke was quite revealing, Yes and no. Nangong Ci: ** At the other end. Su Wanwan had reached the ground floor, as soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Su Yanyan standing outside. Such a slowpoke Making everyone wait for you. Do you have no shame? she sarcastically eximed, looking at the woman standing before her. Su Wanwan brushed her off and started making her way towards the ward. Hold on! Su Yanyan rushed ahead, blocking her path. Despite wearing high heels, even so, standing at only 1.6 meters, Su Yanyan was still significantly shorter than Su Wanwan. Looking down at her, Su Wanwan said, Good dogs dont stand in the way. It was as if Su Yanyan hadnt heard her, as she squinted her eyes intensely and examined her face. Su Wanwan had put her long curls into a bun, but it was clear thatpared with earlier, it looked significantly more disheveled. Then there were her lips They were red and swollen, as if a man had kissed them not long ago. Where have you been? she asked hastily, suspicion in her eyes. Xing Yuyun had said he would go outside for a smoke as soon as Su Wanwan came in. Could it be that the two had a secretive meeting? None of your damn business. Su Wanwans retort seemed to confirm Su Yanyans suspicions. Enraged, Su Yanyan pointed her finger at Su Wanwan and said, Su Wanwan, listen closely. Xing Yuyun is my fiance now. Were getting engaged next month. From today, mind your own business and stay out of ours. If you dare to approach him again, Ill Smack! Su Wanwan pped Su Yanyans hand away, looking stern and cold, Su Yanyan, listen to me closely. Keep your man leashed. Dont let him roam around bothering me like a rabid dog. I find it extremely annoying and revolting! Su Yanyans delicate face twisted in anger, What do you mean by that? Who are you calling a dog? Stand right there, Su Wanwan, stop right there! Leaving Yanyan behind, Wanwan walked away with an air of disdain.. Chapter 17 - 17: 017, divorce immediately Chapter 17: divorce immediately Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Yanyan eventually found Xing Yuyun in the staircase. At that moment, his figure was shrouded in the smell of cigarettes. Numerous cigarette butts were scattered around his feet. He cast an indifferent nce at her before continuing to smoke. Brother Yuyun. Su Yanyan held back her anger and softly asked, What happened? Is there a problem with thepany? Lets cancel the engagement. Upon hearing his words, Su Yanyans face changed dramatically, What did you say? Xing Yuyun looked at her and reiterated word by word, I said, lets cancel the engagement. Why! Xing Yuyun didnt respond. Su Yanyan grabbed his arm and began to apologize, Brother Xing, Im sorry, I admit that it was my fault for the photo incident. I swear I will never do such a thing again. Please forgive me this time. Our engagement banquet is in just over twenty days, the invitations have already been sent out, the hotel is booked, and Ive already chosen the wedding dress I can handle all of this. Xing Yuyuns voice was cold. Looking at Xing Yuyuns cold face, Su Yanyan realized that he was serious. The image of Su Wanwan popped into her mind, along with how she looked just now Jealousy burst out like fireworks. She began making a string of usations, Is it because of Su Wanwan? Did you go find her earlier? You regretted after she came back, right? You had a private meeting with her earlier! Did you Did you kiss It has nothing to do with her. Xing Yuyun interrupted impatiently. I knew it! Su Yanyan screamed, Ever since she returned to China, youve been ignoring me! If it wasnt for her visiting Grandpa at the hospital today, you wouldnt havee, would you? Su Wanwan is indeed impressive, she managed to captivate your heart the moment she returned. But do you know what she said about you? She said youre like a dog, shamelessly clinging to her! Shut up! Xing Yuyun cut her off sharply, terror reflected in his eyes. The image of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan together kept reying in his mind. The embarrassment, the humiliation, and the blow to his masculinity were too much for him to ept as a man. Shes nothing more than an illegitimate girl, just like her mother, theyre both no good! She got into fights in junior high school and even went to the station. She and Mo Weiyi hung around in bars with men when they were only teenagers, their reputations arepletely ruined Su Yanyan! She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist. Do you know what the biggest difference is between you and Su Wanwan? Xing Yuyun gripped her wrist, his eyes looking ruthless, When I was engaged to her, we never even held hands. But you, you secretly drugged me, seduced me to have sex with you. Tell me, arent you cheappared to her? Su Yanyan shuddered violently. Did he know? Did he know everything? That ss of wine on that night, it was spiked, wasnt it? Upon seeing her guilty face, Xing Yuyun let out a sarcasticugh. If it werent for everything lining up perfectly, he wouldnt have gone to the hospital that night for a checkup. Cancel the engagement, immediately. He repeated once more. Cancel? Su Yanyan was both aggrieved and angry, Then why did you agree to be engaged with me in the first ce? Why did you The thing I hate the most is being manipted, especially by shameless women like you! If it werent for your father pressuring my grandfather, do you think I wouldve agreed to be engaged to a cheap woman like you? After saying this, Xing Yuyun turned and walked away. *** In the hospital ward. Jiang Yi checked the time, her brows furrowed in worry. Yanyan She had been gone for such a long time, why hadnt shee back? Yuyun was not here either. Grandpa, its gettingte. Ill help you downstairs. said Su Wanwan. On the wheelchair, Su Xueqin sat with a serious look on his face, clearly still angry. Dad, Yanyan and Yuyun should be back soon. As Jiang Yis words fell, the room door opened, and Su Yanyan walked in, looking dazed and lost. Jiang Yi quickly got up, Yanyan, wheres Yuyun? With a nk expression, Su Yanyan took a while before managing to mutter, He, he said something came up at thepany. Hmph! Su Xueqin let out a cold huff. Seeing the old mans displeasure, Jiang Yi quickly exined, There must have been an issue at thepany. Yuyun just became the general manager, its understandable. I was wondering why he left in such a hurry earlier. Yang,e and help Wanwan with the wheelchair. Yes, madam. Once everyone had left the room, Jiang Yi looked at her daughter. Yanyan, what exactly is going on with Yuyun? After so much effort to improve the old mans mood, he suddenly leaves without a word? For Su Xueqins discharge today, she had specifically asked her daughter to invite Xing Yuyun to soften the old mans heart, to make amends. But he just left like that? Su Yanyan burst into tears, Brother Yuyun Brother Yuyun he. Chapter 18 - 18: 018, Birthday Gift Chapter 18: Birthday Gift Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion , Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Jiang Yi was startled, What happened to Yuyun? Su Yanyans eyes welled up with tears, but she suddenly changed her mind, Its nothing, hes just too busy, didnt even have time to apany me, so I got mad at him. You child. Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, Ive told you many times, Yuyun just took up the position of general manager not long ago, and it is expected that he should concentrate on his work. Men should prioritize their career, as his wife, you should be more understanding toward him and stop throwing tantrums all the time, making him upset. Understand? I understand. Su Yanyan wiped away her tears. ** That night. After dinner, in front of everyone, Su Xueqin took out a bank card, Wanwan take this. Su Yuntang immediately frowned, Dad, what are you doing? Even though he despised Su Wanwan, he was still the one in charge of her matters, including her monthly allowance. Su Xueqin red at him, Do I need your permission to give money to my granddaughter for a car? A car? Now, even Su Wanwan was stunned. The card was forced into her hand, Su Xueqin said, Go to the car dealership with Uncle Zhou tomorrow, pick a car you like. While you are not upied, attend a driving course and get your drivers license. Consider this car as a birthday gift from your grandfather for your 20th birthday. Jiang Yi frowned quickly. Not too long ago, Su Yanyan just celebrated her 18th birthday. The once-in-a-lifetimeing-of-age ceremony, but Su Xueqin didnt show any signs of recognition, although he was mad at Xing Yuyun, but the contrast treatment.wasnt it too much? Thank you, Grandpa, for remembering my birthday. Su Wanwan said, smiling heartily. After she finished speaking, she nced at Su Yanyan from the corner of her eye. As expected, thetters face looked very unpleasant. Su Yuntang was unhappy, Dad, shes still young, this car buying thing All right. Su Xueqin interrupted impatiently. Im a bit tired. Wanwan. Push me back to my room. Okay, Grandpa. ** After apanying the elderly for a while in the room, Su Wanwan returned to the living room just in time to hear Auntie Yang shout, Miss, you have a phone call. It was a call from Mo Weiyi, asking her out for a movie and a birthday celebration. She looked at the time, it was already past seven in the evening. Wheres your husband? Mo Weiyi was more of a rebellious teenager before her marriage, but after getting married, she was strictly managed by Xiao Yebai, who usually did not permit her to go out alone at night. Theres a little emergency in Jiangchengs hotel, Xiaobai wont be back until tomorrow, so hurry up ande out to hang out with me, there wont be this chance after you miss this opportunity! I see. Su Wanwan hung up and went upstairs. She was thinking of changing her clothes, but besides the one she was wearing and the skirt that Mo Weiyi lent her, all the other clothes in the wardrobe were the entric outfits she wore two years ago. The previous reckless and impulsive behavior now seems too naive! Never mind! Su Wanwan let her long hair down, put on light makeup and quickly went downstairs. Su Yuntang wasing out of the study, a newspaper in his hand, seeing her in a hurry, he instantly frowned, Where are you going at thiste hour? A friends gathering. How many times have I told you, dont hang out with those dubious people. Have you forgotten about thest time you were brought to the police station? You just came back and are making the same mistake again? Wasnt the previous lesson enough? Su Wanwan opened her beautiful eyes wide, innocently asked, But you, Director Su, are here, right? Wasnt it you who bailed me out every time? What happened, you were demoted? You cant bail me out anymore? In Nancheng, although the Su family couldntpare with the few famous and wealthy families, they were still quite well-known. Su Xueqin, a retired director from the TV station, who has worked in the media industry for decades, had numerous connections. Two years ago, Su Yuntang took up the position of deputy director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, it shouldnt be difficult for him to bail out someone, right? You rascal! Su Yuntang was infuriated by her casual attitude and was about to explode. All right Yuntang. Jiang Yi pulled her husband back, softly intervening, After today, Wanwan will be twenty years old, dont worry, shes not a young child anymore, she should understand things, she wont make the same mistakes as before. Su Wanwan shot her a cold nce. Talking about the dark past will kill you? Yet Jiang Yi smiled warmly, Wanwan, let the chauffeur drive you there, remember toe back early after the gathering. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered with her, she turned around and left. ** The ce Mo Weiyi and she agreed to meet was called Gui Di, located in the center of Nancheng city. It was two years since she came home, Nancheng has greatly changed. After Su Wanwan got off the car, looking at the private club in front of her, which looked even more magnificent and mysterious at night, she felt embarrassed. She thought it was the name of a cinema. After she mentioned Miss Mos name, she followed the usher past the lobby, into the elevator, and arrived at the sixth floor. When the elevator door opened, Mo Weiyi was already standing outside waiting. Happy Birthday, Wanwan! One was dazzling shiny, the other was sweet and charming, immediately attracting a lot of attention. In the corner of the sofa, Huo Zhexi was holding a cup of wine, his eyes were keenly watching. Until the two of them entered the private roomughing and frolicking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers crispy. Mr. Huo. Later on, send this cup of wine to that long-haired girl. He lowered his voice, Just say its the house wine for tonight, free to taste. All right, Mr. Huo.. Chapter 19 - 19: 019, dead girl Chapter 19: dead girl Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as the waiter left, Huo Zhexi took a sip of fine wine, his eyes full of satisfaction. That brat! Last time, she hit him on the head, causing him to go back and get scolded and grounded by his old man for two full days! Its so ironic that he ran into the perpetrator this evening. If he didnt teach her a lesson, what was he doing in this circle? ** In the suite, Su Wanwans eyes moved around and she made noises of appreciation. As expected from the princess, she sure knows how to enjoy herself. No wonder they said they wereing to watch a movie. The suite was half filled with sofas, while the other half was covered by a movie screen. With high-end audio equipment, this room was practically a private movie theater! The table was also filled with all sorts of food, drinks, and games The movie being yed was called Ex-Files 3, aedy romance. Su Wanwan wasnt interested in that kind of movie, so she reached for the wine on the table as soon as she sat down No drinking! Mo Weiyi grabbed her arm. Why? Arent all the red and white wines on the table for her to drink? What if you get drunk? I cant carry you! Mo Weiyi stated subtly. How could I possibly get drunk? Su Wanwan was confident and arrogant. No! Mo Weiyi insisted. Do you remember where I found youst time? Wasnt it the police station? Mo Weiyi widened her eyes. Yes! It was the mens restroom! Mens restroom? Su Wanwan was shocked, Really? If you dont believe me, ask Xiaobai. You were sleeping on the floor of the mens restroom. It was a good thing we were at the police station and there werent many people around at night. What if you were somewhere else? It would have been very dangerous. There are plenty of perverts nowadays. Xiaobai never lets me drink alone outside, girls need to know how to protect themselves when outside. Is she exaggerating and unting her rtionship with Xiaobai? Su Wanwan scoffed, That was an exception, I was too angry then and didnt realize I had too much to drink. Even so, no. Mo Weiyi rang the service bell. Havent enough idents happened because of drinking? Every time, you either get into a fight or cause trouble at the police station. Anyway, you can only drink juice tonight. Ill have them remove all the alcohol and bring some food over. Despite Mo Weiyis soft look, she could be quite intimidating when serious. Soon enough, the waiter came in and cleared the table of all the foreign liquor, red wine, and beer. Su Wanwan watched and her heart ached. The words drinking and smoking had extreme meanings for her. She hated the smell of smoke but loved drinking, especially when she was tipsy. That sense of haziness was too thrilling, as if she could forget all her troubles. If she drank herself unconscious, it felt like a rebirth when she woke up Little white bunny, little white bunny, with two little ears Upon hearing the vulgar ringtone, Su Wanwan shivered. Mo Weiyi pulled out her phone and her face changed immediately. Its over, its Xiaobai. She got up. Wanwan, I need to go outside to take the call, or Xiaobai will definitely realize Im not at home. For some reason, every time she tries to do something naughty, Xiao Yebai would know immediately. She wondered if he had a tracker installed on her. Mo Weiyi hurriedly left while Su Wanwan continued to watch the movie, bored. There was a knock at the door and a waiter came in. Hello, this is aplimentary drink from the club. After saying that, he left the drink and walked out. Su Wanwan blinked. Really? Aplimentary drink? It seemed to be a cocktail. Its blue liquid was topped with a fiery redyer, pretty and enticing. Su Wanwan was tempted. It was just a cocktail, and she could handle her alcohol just fine. Plus, Weiyi wasnt around So she didnt hesitate to pick up the drink. She took multiple sips and quickly finished it. Mo Weiyi still hadnt returned. The movie slowly came to an end and the end song started ying. Without a phone, Su Wanwan could only sit and wait. Suddenly, the door to the suite was pushed open and a woman came in. Sorry, I walked into the wrong room. The door was closed again. Su Wanwan sat on the sofa, her vision gradually bing blurry. Walked into the wrong room? She stood up, opened the door, and began walking down the hallway. The club was massive, with many suites on each floor. There was a thick, dark carpet on the floor and dim yellow lights overhead. Su Wanwan kept walking off track, oblivious to the person following her. When she finally opened a door and walked into a room, Huo Zhexi smirked and started walking toward the room. About to touch the doorknob Zhexi. Huo Zhexi It took him a few seconds before he turned around and acted cool, big brother? Every time he saw Huo Jingshen, Huo Zhexi always had a guilty conscience. He knew he was a coward, but he couldnt help it. His big brother was a martial artist. Last time at the police station, he almost broke his hand Moreover, he was seven years older than him. By the time Zhexi was just beginning to understand things, Huo Jingshen had already gone abroad. Then, when he finally returned, he started working for Huo Yuan. Rumor had it he was ruthless, causing his uncles to suffer many losses. Their grandfather highly valued this eldest grandson and their grandmother was very fond of him, but he was always serious and reserved. Even towards his elders, he was indifferent; towards others, he was distant. He was hard to read. Huo Zhexi thought he was a man of great depth! Although he was cursing internally, on the surface, he had to act respectful. He forced a smile on his face: What a coincidence, big brother, are you also here for socializing? Huo Jingshen looked at him, his thin lips barely moving, This room was reserved by Ji Jie. Ji Jie was the assistant assigned to Huo Jingshen by their grandfather to handle all his affairs at Huo Yuan. Huo Zhexis smile froze on his face. Damn, how awkward! What a coincidence that this room was reserved by Huo Jingshen! This brat, she really knows how to pick rooms! Inwardly, Huo Zhexi wanted to tear Su Wanwan into pieces! Youre looking for me? Huo Jingshen asked again. No, not at all. Huo Zhexi quickly denied. If he was discovered that he had drugged a woman, Huo Jingshen might tattletale to their grandfather again. Taking his hand off the doorknob, Huo Zhexi looked around dramatically, then pped his forehead, Oh no, I just realized I ran to the wrong floor. Hehe, big brother, you go ahead, Ill leave first. After saying that, he turned and ran off.. Chapter 20 - 20: 020, do you want to drink alcohol? Chapter 20: do you want to drink alcohol? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: End less Fantasy Trantion After Su Wanwan used the restroom, she felt extremely lightheaded, and her vision was blurry. She managed to find the doorknob and stepped out, only to find a person sitting on the sofa. Could it be Weiyi? She walked over unconsciously. Just as she was about to reach him, she tripped on a looming carpet, her foot slipped, and she fell forward. The expected pain did note. She smelled a faint scent of tobo, intertwined with the rich aroma of red wine. Su Wanwan forced her eyes open and looked towards the scent, spotting a ss of red wine on the table. Want a drink? a mans resonant low voice asked, sounding so gentle as if he were hypnotizing her. Su Wanwan nodded nkly. Then, that ss of red wine was brought before her eyes. The fragrance was overwhelming. Desperate, Su Wanwan moved towards it, but before she could reach it, Huo Jingshen took the wine ss back. He then finished the wine in one gulp right in front of her. Su Wanwan: What was wrong with this man? Su Wanwan stared at him expectantly, her innocent eyes full of grievance. Huo Jingshen looked at her, his eyes gradually narrowing. In his thirty years of life, he has been surrounded by many excellent and beautiful women of all kinds, but none have piqued his interest. Because of his high ideals and unbending discipline, he had been single for so many years, which led his friends to make fun of him, suspecting that there was a problem he couldnt speak of. Sometimes, he had his doubts as well. Everything turned around when he met Su Wanwan that day at the airport. In just half a day, she, for two times, could easily stir up all his emotions. Today at the hospital, she was like an irresistibly seductive little demon. Though her tactics were clumsy C so clumsy it could be described as pathetic C he couldnt stop thinking about her. He held her chin and looked closely at her. She had a perfect oval-shaped face, delicate and tiny, with delicate features. She had light makeup on, and added with the effect of alcohol, her eyes looked foggy, so innocent yet so seductive. She was still young, but her eyes were unexpectedly charming, enough to fascinate someone inevitably. Especially the mole under her right eyelid, small, yet an icing on the cake. In his career, he had invested in asset investment for nearly ten years and backed numerous profitable projects. Could it be that now, he was really considering investing his energy into a girl? Huo Jingshen asked, Go upstairs? Su Wanwan didnt respond. But for him, her silence was no different from an agreement. Without any hesitation, Huo Jingshen quickly got up and led her away. * * Meanwhile. Mo Weiyi finally returned from his phone call, only to find an empty room. No one was in the restroom or the corridor. Could she have gone home? But that was impossible. Leaving without saying goodbye was not Su Wanwans style. There were no clues left in the room. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to wait, but as time trickled by, he called the Su Familys house, and heard from the servants that Su Wanwan hadnt returned home Mo Weiyi could no longer sit still. He rushed out and began to search every private room along the corridor. Soon, the whole sixth floor was in chaos, with disgruntled voices echoing around. When Mo Weiyi opened the door and awkwardly faced the men and women inside, a flurry of footsteps came from behind. Miss Mo. It was the manager of the club along with a few security guards. He bowed and smiled apologetically at the customers, but as soon as the door closed, his face turned sour, Miss Mo, weve receivedints about your unauthorized intrusions into private rooms. What do you say Whats wrong with me looking for someone? My friend is lost! Mo Weiyi said, turning around to open the door opposite, but was blocked by a security guard. Get out of the way! Miss Mo, you know the rules. Please dont put us in a difficult position. The manager was in cold sweat. He couldnt offend the heiress of the Mo Family, nor could he inconvenience so many customers. A guard blocked the way and Mo Weiyi felt the urge to cry. The club had only been in Nancheng for over a year. With its massive investment and prime location catering to high-end consumers, it quickly became a trendsetter among Nanchengs hottest nightlife spots. She likeding here in secret, not only because of the reasons above, but also because it was not a property owned by the Mo Family without their informants around, she was less likely to be discovered by Xiao Yebai. But right now, she regretted it deeply. She was Mo Weiyi, the Little Princess of the Mo Family, recognized by nearly everyone in Nancheng. Yet Su Wanwan had just returned to the country and was known to few. It was possible that someone with bad intentions had taken her, who was so beautiful The ones frequenting here were wealthy second and third-generation youngsters. She may not have been involved in their ys, but that didnt mean she was unaware of them. She had prevented Su Wanwan from drinking with this consideration in mind. But now, her friend was lost. The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more worried and scared she became. Chapter 21 - 21: 021,1 will compensate if it breaks Chapter 21:1 willpensate if it breaks Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: End less Fantasy Trantion All of a sudden, she had a bright idea. Pulling out her cell phone, her beautiful face hardened as she said, Using my husbands identity, Xiao Yebai, the president of Mo Group, would that work? Hearing this name that reverberated throughout Nancheng, the manager furrowed his brow, clearly put off by it. But after just a second of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, Im sorry, Miss Mo, could you not put us in such a difficult position? Mo Weiyi: This guy was actually immune to both soft and hard tactics! Mo Weiyi was both anxious and angry to the point of tears, Thenthen call out your boss for me! Im sorry, our boss is not at the club tonight. Are you trying to y hide and seek? Fine, Ill call the police and let them handle it! Left without a choice, Mo Weiyi began to get hysterical. Lets see if its more damaging for your manor to be exposed to scandal, or for us, the Mo Family, to just pay some damn cash and be done with it! As soon as she said these words, whispers began circting around her, and some people even took out their phone to start filming. Spectators fond of gossip were rampant in Nancheng, especially in these affluent gatherings. Any participant could make headlines. Now that the Mo familys Little Princess was stirring up trouble, the other party surely must be a big shot Just as the standoff was going on, an eerie ringtone C Little Bunny C rang out. Mo Weiyi hastily answered the call. Then everyone saw the usually arrogant, domineering Mo family princess break down into tears on the phone, sobbing into her mobile device, Xiaobai, Xiaobai what should I do? I lost Wanwan, Xiaobai Im so scared Manager: Security Guard: The crowd: ** Ten minutester on the 7th floor of the manor, the door of a high-end VIP presidential suite was suddenly knocked harshly. A stern warning apanied the knocking: Inspection! Open the door immediately! Submit to our inspection! In the hallway, Mo Weiyi tightly gripped her phone, waiting for the door to open. The managers face had darkenedpletely next to her. The Manor had been open for more than a year. Because the owner was the eldest son of Chu Family of South City, backed by the power of Chu Family, everyone gave him face. But this was the first time so many police officers had paid a visit! The Mo family dominated the entertainment and leisure industry in Nancheng. Just a few minutes ago, Mo Weiyi had publicly taken a call from Xiao Yebai. Who else could have summoned so many police officers in such a short time? He had heard that the princess of Mo family had quite the temper, but he could never have imagined that Xiao Yebai was worse, indulging in excesses, losing all reason in indulging his wife, even involving the police. The hallway was filled with onlookers whod run upstairs from below. Despite attempts by security guards to keep them back, everyone was excitedly discussing and waiting eagerly, their faces filled with anticipation as if they were celebrating a huge festival. After all, they all belonged to the same circle. How exciting could it be to see someone elses scandal? Hurry up and knock! Mo Weiyis face hardened as she constantly urged, If they dont open, break the door down, one by one, did you hear me? The manager rushed forward to stop her, Miss Mo, this is absolutely uneptable! The police are here and youre stillining? Break down the door! If it gets broken, Ill pay for it! What are you worrying about over some paltry sum of money? Miss Mo The manager was filled with regret. If he had known something like this would happen tonight, he would have taken a leave of absence, no matter what. The first to sixth floors of the Manor were ces for drinking and having fun, equipped with various private rooms. The seventh floor was reserved for the most private VIP Presidential Suites. Everyone knew what it meant to be able to spend money in such ces, it implied you were a valued guest with close ties to the owner. Offending the customers was bad enough, but now he was about to offend his boss too. He could almost imagine the grim face of Master Chu when he learned that the club had been inspected by the police. Just then, the sound of the door opening came through with a ng. Mo Weiyi quickly turned her head. The next second, her face went pale. What?! How could it be Huo Jingshen?! Chapter 22 - 22: 022, Fiancee Chapter 22: Fiancee Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He wore a dark colored shirt, under which were immacte, wrinkle-free ck trousers. His facial features were handsome, his eyes deep, yet his face was expressionless. It was clear, even without asking, that something had interrupted him. The manager was instantly frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat. My goodness, how did they just happen to inspect Huo Jingshens room? Who is Huo Jingshen? He is the eldest grandson of Nanchengs wealthiest man! In the future, the entire estate of Huo Family will belong to him! Even his own boss must address him respectfully as big brother. He had only recently returned to the country, but everyone in the industry knew him well! The police, however, did not recognize him and proceeded with a business-like tone: Sir, could you please show your ID? Standing before them, Huo Jingshen remained motionless upon hearing the request, simply sliding his hands slowly into his trouser pockets. The officer frowned, Sir, please cooperate with our work, otherwise Oh, thats not necessary. Mo Weiyi hurriedly stepped forward to exin, apologizing with a smile, Im sorry officer, he is a friend of mine. We all know each other, so perhaps we should move on to inspect the next room. The manager quickly chimed in agreement, Yes, yes, its all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, please continue as you were. Im sorry for bothering you, my apologies. Seemingly confused, the policeman said, Miss Mo, I received a directive from the superiors, they said you reported a case of prosti Ah! Mo Weiyi screamed, interrupting his words, What? What are you saying? Theres no such thing, you must have received the message wrong! She had been married for two years now, and had a fair bit of experience in rted matters. Even though Huo Jingshen didnt utter a word from beginning to end, but still How could his mood be unaffected when an intimate moment is interrupted? She honestly felt quite frightened The policeman furrowed his brows, but seeing as theinant herself was denying everything, he had no choice but to nod and turn to leave. Hey! Is that not Huo Jingshen? Suddenly, a gossip stirred. Who is Huo Jingshen? You dont know Huo Jingshen? The eldest son of the Huo Family who just recently returned to the country. Its said he came back to take over the Huo Yuan Group. The revtion caused quite a stir, the crowds discussion growing louder. Damn, is the Heir of Huo Family soliciting prostitutes at the luxurious residence? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. These folks returning from abroad are so different! Real yer So thrilling! Wait, let me take a photo! Im gonna post this on TikTok! As the voices grew louder, Mo Weiyis expressions became increasingly interesting. She didnt even dare to look up at Huo Jingshens face It must be quite unpleasant! Would he take it out on the Mo Family afterwards? Would this affect Xiaobais job? It was over, she had really caused a mess this time Just as she was lost in panicked thoughts. Miss Mo. The deep voice of the man suddenly echoed. Mo Weiyi felt like a startled bird at this moment, obviously trembling all over upon hearing this. Then she turned around and forced a smile onto her face, Mr. Huo. What did you study in university? Mo Weiyi was somewhat stunned, but seeing him seemingly waiting seriously for an answer, she continued with a forced smile, Law. Although she was a cker who often skipped sses So. Huo Jingshen continued to ask, Is there anyw that prohibits me from visiting this ce with my fiancee? The smile on her face became frozen. Fiancee? Miss Mo? Huo Jingshen lifted his eyebrow. Mo Weiyi hastily shook her head, No, no, there is no suchw. A hint of amusement shed in Huo Jingshens eyes as his lips curved into a satisfied smile, Earlier, Wanwan had a bit too much to drink and was feeling unwell, so I brought her up to rest for a while. Since you are here now, Miss Mo, could you please take care of her. After he finished speaking, he slightly shifted his shoulder, opening the way. Blinking her eyes, unable to think much about it, Mo Weiyi walked over as if possessed. In no time, a joyful voice rang from inside the suite, Wanwan, Wanwan, are you alright? ** The corridor fell into a long silence. Clearly, this was a misunderstanding. Huo Jingshen still stood there immactely, hands in his pockets, bearing a calm demeanor. His jaw was slightly raised, embodying an aura of grace and nobility. The manager breathed a sigh of relief, trying to smooth things over, I knew it, it was all a misunderstanding all along. Ha ha ha, Im sorry officer, for having you make a futile trip tonight. The police officer was only too happy to finish his shift. After uttering some formalities, he turned to leave Officer Yang! Officer Yang! A young officer suddenly ran over and whispered something into his ear. The manager felt uneasy, he had a bad feeling about this. Next second, Officer Yang ordered in a stern voice: Everyone, all of you, follow me to the fourth floor! Chapter 23 - 23: 023, got drunk and blacked out again Chapter 23: got drunk and cked out again Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The next morning, Su Wanwan woke up to find herself in apletely unfamiliar room. Damn it! She must have drunk too much and cked out again! The first thing she did was pull back the covers to check Phew, everything was fine. Her clothes were all intact. Su Wanwan clutched her chest in relief and then tried to recall what happened. However, she couldnt remember anything from the night before. It seemed like she was drinking with Weiyi in a private room, and then Baby Wanwan, youre awake! Su Wanwan turned her head and saw Mo Weiyi trotting over. She was wearing a white robe, simr to the ones in hotels. Her usual meticulously styled dark, wavy hair was loose, and her face was clean and makeup-free, making it obvious she had just woken up. When Mo Weiyi reached her, she immediately started questioning, Tell me the truth! When did you hook up with Huo Jingshen? Wow, you move fast, and you didnt even tell me about it. You sure are something! Dumping a jerk only to find a hunk immediately afterwards. Do you know how embarrassed I wasst night? I almost had the door broken down on both of you What are you talking about? Su Wanwan frowned. What about Huo Jingshen? Breaking down what door? Whats the big deal? Didnt they just fall asleep here after getting drunkst night? That was something they often did back when they were in school. Didnt I already tell you? Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of Master Huo. He just returned to the country. Did you two you knowdo it? So, how is he? Hes so tall and handsome. He must have a great body too Does your Xiaobai know youre talking about other mens bodies? Su Wanwan interrupted. Whats the big deal? Its just a discussion. Its not like we can see or touch him. Im just concerned about your happiness. Mo Weiyi spoke confidently. Su Wanwan: Let me tell you, those who seem serious on the surface are usually the most contrasting underneath! You know, I used to think Xiaobai was as cool as ice, wondering if he was a cold lover. For many years, I dropped various hints at him, almost straight up telling him I wanted his body! But he never reacted to me. But after we got married, hehehe As Mo Weiyis words became more ambiguous, Su Wanwan felt awkward, her face burning, she hurriedly interrupted, Alright, alright, what time is it now? Almost 10 oclock. 10 oclock? Su Wanwan threw off the covers and jumped out of the bed. Oh no. Last night, Su Xueqin specifically told her to go and choose a car with Uncle Zhou today, but not only did she note backst night, she also woke up sote. Where are you going, Wanwan? I havent finished talking Mo Weiyiined. Last night was so shocking! She still wanted to talk with her best friend about Huo Jingshen. I have something urgent. I have to go home right away. Ill call youter. Su Wanwan quickly tidied up her clothes, grabbed her small bag, and left. * * * By the time she returned to the Su Family home, it was almost noon. As she entered the front gate, she saw two sedans parked in the courtyard andughtering from the vi. Were there guests? As she entered the vi, Su Xueqins voice was heard as she changed shoes by the entrance, Is that Wanwan whos back? Where did Wanwan go? Why is sheing back from outside? That sounded like her aunt, Su Yunrong.Su Wanwan walked into the living room and quickly nced around. Not only was Su Yunrong there, but also her uncle Qiao Jianye, Xing Yuyun and his parents. Great. It was quite unfortunate that she didnte homest night, and now she was caught in the line of fire. As expected, the face of Su Yuntang was very ugly as he sharply questioned her, Where did you go fooling aroundst night? Su Wanwan found a seat next to his wheelchair, called out grandpa, and then replied, Didnt I tell you? I was with friends; when it got toote, we decided to sleep over. Right after you came back, youre already out all night. Arent you even aware of what time it is now? You couldnt even make a phone call home. Dont you have any sense of self-awareness as a girl? Su Wanwan looked up at her fuming father, I neither fooled around with men nor became a mistress. I merely watched a movie with a good friend. How is thatcking self-awareness?. I think I am more self-respecting than some people. Instantly, everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces.. Chapter 24 - 24: 024, Top-tier Male God Chapter 24: Top-tier Male God Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Particrly Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, their alternating blush and pallor made for quite an exciting spectacle. Scoundrel! Su Yuntang shot up, Is there no respect for your elders anymore? No seriousness all day long, you you get back to your room! You are the real scoundrel! Su Xueqins voice was louder as he thumped his cane heavily, Your old man is right here, who are you telling to roll out? Have you gone mad! Dad. Su Yunrong spoke timely, Youve just been discharged from the hospital. Why are you arguing with the little brother? Be careful of your own health. Having said so, she turned her gaze to Su Wanwan. She looked her up and down before speaking with a smile, Wanwan, youve changed so much, I did not recognize you at first nce. Indeed, how true is the saying A girl changespletely when shees of age. Her husband Qiao Jianye chimed in. Su Xueqin huffed angrily, but his anger subsided slightly, Wanwan, greet the others. Su Wanwan pursed her lips but still got up, Uncle, Auntie. Then she turned to the meticulously dressed middle-aged couple and called out obediently, Uncle Xing, Auntie Huo. Huo Qinyu gazed at her, her expression slightly taken aback. Because of Mo Weiyis attentive carest night, and due to the hurry to get home, Su Wanwans face was devoid of makeup C clean, bright, and fresh, so tender it seemed like it could exude water. If she hadnt just contradicted Su Yuntang, Huo Qinyu wouldnt dare believe this was the once unexceptional little ruffian. They remembered their first meeting with Su Wanwan. Despite being a 17-year-old high school student, she had dressed in oddball clothes, with ck eyeliner, ck lipstick and even ck nail polish. Her short hair was dyed white There wasnt a single aspect about her Huo Qinyu approved of. Therefore, after the incident between Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan, she had agreed to the marriage without much objection. Oh, who is this? A snarky female voice suddenly sounded. Su Wanwan looked up to see a woman walking in from the balcony. Thetter was also looking at Su Wanwan before bursting intoughter, I thought so. Its Wanwan. Truly, clothes make the man, as the saddle makes the horse. You look so much better being clean and simple. Mr. Xing, dont you agree with me? Xing Yuyun obviously said nothing. Zixin, be quiet. Su Yunrong hinted at her daughter unhappily. However, Qiao Zixin feigned surprise, Whats wrong with speaking the truth? If Wanwan wasnt pretty, why would young Mr. Xing agree to the engagement? Its such a pity though. She went abroad just after the engagement. How could young Xing, full of vitality, tolerate that? It is entirely understandable that he wouldnt resist a little temptation Now, not only the faces of the Su family but also of the Xing family went sour. With no choice left, Su Yunrong stood up, Dad, Im sorry. Something suddenly came up at home. We need to leave soon. Su Xueqin gave an impatient wave of the hand. What could be so important at home? Mom, dont pull me, Mom Qiao Zixin was dragged away by her mother all the way out until they reached the vi door. Only then did Su Yunrong let her go. Dont meddle in the Xing familys affairs! What can I meddle in? Qiao Zixin said dismissively, rolling up her sleeves and continuing, Dating between a man and woman is a matter of mutual consent. Whether its Wanwan or Yanyan, both are daughters of the Su family marrying into the Xing family. It has nothing to do with us Stop talking! Su Yunrong was angry but helpless. This daughter of hers was nothing like her! She never knows when to hold back, or how to y it cool. It is said, Daughters take after their fathers, and that couldnt be more true. Su Yunrong red at her husband angrily. Qiao Jianye was confused, touching his nose, Ill go get the car. Once he left, Su Yunrong started her lecture, Your sister is about to be engaged to Xing Yuyun. The Xing family will soon be our inws. Your father is about to be promoted to Section Chief, and we will need the Xing familys support Are you listening to me, Zixin?! Qiao Zixin didnt respond, her eyes were transfixed on something in the distance, as if in a trance. A ck Bentley was stopped at the intersection ahead, and a man was leaning on the side of the car making a call. He was dressed in a white shirt and ck suit trousers. Though simple, the quality was unmistakable. The discreet luxury was undeniable. He seemed to be around 1.9 meters tall. His admissions of phone call and smoke at the same time were indeed captivating. Especially when seen from the side, his long, straight legs and the perfect proportion of his body was like an international male model stepping out from a fashion magazine. Qiao Zixins heart couldnt help but flutter. She was now twenty-five years old, had experienced many rtionships, but this was the first time she had seen such an amazing man. He was truly an earthly paragon! Look at his body, his looks, his temperament Seeing him turn his head as if looking this way, she swiftly put on her most charming smile and raised her hand to greet him Ouch! Qiao Zixin shrieked. Mom, why did you pinch me? It hurts! Did you hear what mom said to you? I got it, I got it! Qiao Zixin rubbed her achy arm impatiently. When she turned her head again, the paragon was nowhere to be seen. The ck Bentley was also gone.. Chapter 25 - 25: 025, the beauty of adulthood Chapter 25: the beauty of adulthood Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Inside the living room of the Su family residence. After a brief silence, the elderly voice of Su Xueqin rang out, Now that were amongst family, I have a few words to say about this engagement matter with the younger generation. Uncle Su, please speak. Xing Guozhi held great respect for Su Xueqin. Although the old man had long since retired, he was still his mentor and highly respected in the industry. The engagement of Xing Yuyun and Wanwan was fixed two years ago, and his betrayal of my granddaughter is an undeniable fact now. Even though Wanwan has shown great magnanimity and imed she doesnt care, the Xing family must give her an exnation. Uncle, youre absolutely right, Xing Guozhi sighed heavily, This issue does indeed originate from Yuyuns wrongdoing. Its a failure of my parenting. Huo Qinyu also added, After the incident, Yuyuns handling of the matter was utterly inappropriate. Guozhi and I have already disciplined him. Today, since both families are here, I, as his mother, would like to apologize on his behalf. Wanwan, Im sorry for the trouble youve had to endure. Su Wanwan did not respond. Seemingly unsatisfied, Su Xueqin gave a cold hum and nced at Xing Yuyun. Huo Qinyu hastily urged her son, Yuyun, say something. Xing Yuyun remained unresponsive. What, not willing? Su Xueqin sneered, Listen, boy, had Wanwan not imed that she simply doesnt like you, nor cares about your infidelity, I wouldnt have allowed you to set foot in our house today! I gave you a chance for her sake, yet you dare to act arrogant here? Xing Yuyun still had no reaction. How could Su Xueqin save face in this situation? His sharp eyes filled with cold, icy anger. The veins on the back of his hand twitching, indicative of his rising fury. Yuyuns parents hurriedly began to persuade him: Yuyun, please say something. Didnt you hear what Grandpa Su said? Yuyun Let it be, Grandpa. Anguid, soft female voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan curved her lips in an ambiguous smile, saying, Does it matter whether he apologizes or not? After all, hes already cheated. Can we have him take back his leg now? Su Xueqin turned to her, Wanwan Although Xing Yuyun and I cant be husband and wife, isnt my sister still here? Since she likes her brother-inw so much and is willing to take him on, why not go along and fulfill their wishes? Besides, only the two families know about our engagement. Its not like we held a press conference or anything. So why not just pretend it never happened? Making apologies back and forth just creates awkwardness. How am I supposed to get along with my brother-inw in the future? If theres concern about idle chatter, lets handle it like this. Su Wanwan tilted her head, gazing at Xing Yuyun from the corners of her eyes and speaking slowly, word by word, Xing Yuyun, why dont you say that Im a clean freak and that I found you dirty? So, isnt it better to say that I was the one who dumped you first? At first, Huo Qinyus expression remained fairlyposed. However, as she listened further, she realized something was off. When she heard those final words, her expression could no longer hide her distress. Xing Yuyun was her son. Yes, he had made a mistake that many men made. But to be publicly ridiculed and scorned by a young girl, to be depicted as a man whom she had discarded out of disgust This was an outright p in her face! Su Yanyan couldnt stand it either, Su Wanwan, you are going too far Before she could finish, she was forcefully silenced by Jiang Yi. Su Wanwan turned a cold eye toward her, bearing a triumphant grin that almost caused Yanyan to bite through her lip. It was my fault. Finally, amidst the tense atmosphere, Xing Yuyun began to speak. He stood up, deeply bowing to everyone present, This entire situation is my fault. Im sorry. Perhaps moved by his seemingly sincere attitude, Su Xueqin exhaled a long-held sigh, The reason I chose you as my grandson-inw was because of your father and your character. But it seems I was mistaken. My old eyes have failed me. Huo Qinyu hurridly tried to smooth things over, Now that you understand your mistake, thats good, Yuyun. The 20th is your engagement party with Yanyan. Remember to be good to her There is no engagement party. At Xing Yuyuns response, the atmosphere in the living room, which had just calmed down, suddenly solidified once again.. Chapter 26 - 26: 026, a despicable person is always melodramatic Chapter 26: a despicable person is always melodramatic Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: End less Fantasy Trantion Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu were both visibly shocked. Even the usually calm Jiang Yi was startled. She looked at her daughter, only to find Su Yanyan sitting there dazedly, her face almost as white as paper. Yuyun, such words should not be spoken lightly, Yanyan she Auntie. Xing Yuyun interrupted, Ive already spoken to Yanyan about this, shes aware of it. The reason I came here today is to clear things up with all of you elders. Nonsense! Su Yuntang couldnt bear it, filled with immense anger, he pointed at Xing Yuyun and scolded, What do you see Yanyan as? What do you see our Su Family as? Hurting one of my granddaughters wasnt enough, now you want to break off the engagement too? Jiang Yi also said, Yuyun, my daughter is still young, she doesnt understand, she doesnt know to be considerate This has nothing to do with that. Xing Yuyun interrupted coldly again, I simply feel that were not suitable for each other. Then who are you suitable for? Su Wanwan! Su Yanyan blurted out. Xing Yuyun kept his face cold, not answering, not even looking at her. Truth be told, ever since he stepped into the Su Family home today, he never truly looked at her. At this, Su Yanyans anger was instantly ignited, she looked at Su Wanwan, Its you, its all you, youre doing it on purpose, arent you? You clearly know that Brother Yuyun doesnt like you, hes just feeling guilty and doesnt want to hurt you, why do you still cling to him? Mouthing off about rejection while being sneaky behind our backs, do you have no shame! Su Yanyan, arent you being ironic by saying this? Su Wanwans tone was cool and mocking, Its you who stole my fiance, I kindly didnt argue with you, yet you dare to use me first and y the victim? There really is a saying thats right, a lowly person is always melodramatic. Lowly? Can I be as lowly as you? Can you dare to say where you were out messing aboutst night? None of your damn business. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered to argue with her, Your future inws are present, can you watch your manners? She thought that, at this moment, Su Yanyan was like a rabid dog, biting anyone she could catch. Earlier, she had somewhat restrained herself in the face of the elders, it seems now that shes about to be dumped by Xing Yuyun, she cant keep up the pretense. Su Yanyan stood there, anger causing her entire body to tremble slightly. Jiang Yi tried to hold her, but was swatted away. She stormed up to the coffee table, feverishly flipping open the newspaper thaty there. Under everyones watchful eyes, she pointed at the opened newspaper and said, Youve made it to the papers with your exploits with men, now the entire Nancheng knows about your scandal! Su Wanwan, this time youve truly shamed our Su Family to the ends of the earth! Yanyan, what nonsense are you spouting! Su Xueqin was shocked. Im not spouting nonsense, she went to a club to have an affair with a manst night, all the pictures were taken and printed in the newspaper, if you dont believe me, look for yourselves! Su Wanwan was the first to pick up the newspaper. In ring red letters, the headline read: Shocking! Nanchengs Premier Entertainment Club Suspected of Engaging in Prostitution! Below that, thickyers of reportage, interspersed with several pictures of police inspections and suspects being arrested, one of which showed her with the attendant in the elevator. What does this prove? Su Wanwan flung the newspaper back, Last night, I went to the mansion with Weiyi to watch a movie. I had a bit too much to drink and we just rested in the VIP room upstairs for the night. Theres no evidence, just a picture from a lift? I think its your brain thats been crushed, youre in thete stages of retardation, arent you? You wish I was in some scandal, dont you? Flies wontnd on an un-cracked egg, if you didnt do it, how could there be a picture? Su Yanyan seized this point and wouldnt let go. Su Wanwan found her anger steadily rising, she clenched her fists, trying to maintain herposure, Last night, I was with Weiyi the whole time Mo Weiyi is your best friend, of course shed side with you! The living room fell into absolute silence. No one had expected events to unfold this way. Su Yuntangs face was dark as could be. Its a familial misfortune! Whats even more embarrassingit happened in front of the Xing Family. He stared fiercely at Su Wanwan, his face pale, lips tight, even his nostrils were trembling Back then, he should have fought tooth and nail against Su Xueqin, not allowing this troublemaker to remain in the Su Family! For twenty years, she had been like a thorn in his side, piercing his eyes every time he saw her, reminding him of the foolish past! He should have had the heart to strangle her to death, bringing it all to an end Sir. Auntie Yangs voice suddenly sounded weakly, A guest has arrived. She was afraid, not daring to raise her head and behind her, stood a tall and straight man.. Chapter 27 - 27: 027, Boss Huo Makes an Appearance Chapter 27: Boss Huo Makes an Appearance Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He was dressed in a white shirt and ck dress pants, without a tie. A few buttons of his shirt were unfastened, and his sleeves were rolled halfway up. Apart from the luxury watch on his left wrist, there was no other decoration on him. Even though his attire looked simple and casual, his presence imposed a majestic air of unapproachability. Ashen? Huo Qinyu was the first one to react, Why are you here? Upon hearing this name, Xing Yuyun turned around abruptly. Upon realizing that the man standing in the entranceway was indeed Huo Jingshen, he clenched his fists, his eyes tightened, and his hands hanging by his sides also tightened into fists. Huo Qinyus surprised nce moved to everyones faces. If she remembered correctly, Huo Jingshen had just returned to the country not too long ago. The Huo and Su families werent particrly close, so he shouldnt know anyone from the Su Family, should he? Could it behe was here to see Xing Guozhi? But Xing Guozhi also looked clueless. By this point, Huo Jingshen had already changed his shoes and slowly stepped into the living room. His nce slid over the newspaper spread open on the table, revealing a brief sh of emotion. But when he looked up again, he returned to his usual suave self. Hello, Grandfather Su. He greeted the old man sitting in the wheelchair with a nod. Huo Qinyu quickly introduced, Uncle, this is Ashen, my elder brothers son, who just returned from Y Country not long ago. The elder son of the Huo family, Su Xueqin nodded, Weve met before at the hospital. They had met after his surgery, when the elder Mrs. Huo and a few younger members of the Huo family hade to see him. Huo Jingshen had been among them. Even though he spoke less than the others, he had still made a profound impression. Huo Qinyu figured, so he hade to visit Su Xueqin, who had just been discharged from the hospital. But the next second Wanwan, did you lose something? As soon as Huo Jingshen said this, everyone reacted as though they had seen a UFO, except for Xing Yuyun. Su Wanwan also looked terrified. Never in a million years did she expect this shameless person to daree to her home! She hadnt even confronted him about what happened at the hospitalst time, and now he was calling her so affectionately? What a shameless fellow! Wanwan? He called her again, perhaps because she hadnt responded, a trace of a smile at the bottom of his eyes. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, ring at him with her eyes wide open, refusing to respond. Unable to resist, Su Xueqin asked, Does Mr. Huo know my granddaughter? Why had she never mentioned him before? Huo Jingshen made a sound of acknowledgment and casually blurted out, We hung out toote at a clubst night, and she carelessly left her phone at my ce. Everyone: A club? Hanging out too long? And then leaving her phone behind for him to look after, so what does that say about the rtionship between them? As everyone was watching, Huo Jingshen lifted his left hand. A little pink phone was lying visibly in the palm of his hand. Su Wanwan looked at the phone and realised it was indeed hers. That pink protective case was bought together with her dormitory friend. She walked over and stretched out her hand to get it. However, just as she touched the phone, suddenly, the man tightens his fingers, sping her little hand together with the phone. Su Wanwan felt a warmth on the back of her hand and couldnt help but recall the scene at the hospital Her cheeks started to heat slowly, so she lowered her head, trying to pull her hand back. But she couldnt. Huo Jingshen was just holding her hand quite lightly. It didnt seem like he was putting any effort, but she couldnt escape. While she looked utterly embarrassed, he gave nothing away, appearingpletely at ease, even wearing a pleased smile. Its as if an old fox is watching a little fox busily bouncing around in his palm but no matter how hard the little fox tried, it couldnt escape his sp. Su Wanwan felt like cursing. Just as she was about to scratch him with her other hand, Huo Jingshen finally let go. Once free, Su Wanwan busied herself with her phone, only to find that it had run out of battery and switched off Dont be so careless in the future, the mans deep voice rang again. It sounded so close. And so intimate. Then, arge hand ruffled her hair a few times. What the! Su Wanwan was so angry that her lips were twitching. Was he trying to treat her like a monkey?! If the Xing Family wasnt there, and if his words just now didnt help her, she wouldnt let him run wild like this! The tension between the two was like an underworld melee, the sparks were flying everywhere, it was a war without drawn des But to outsiders, it seemed like an intimate interaction, as if they were unting their affection. Xing Yuyuns face darkened even more, and he felt more and more restless.. Chapter 28 - 28: 028, Big Pig Trotter Chapter 28: Big Pig Trotter Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion So thats how it is, Jiang Yis voice was as smooth as water. If Wanwan was with Master Huost night, then the pictures must have been a misunderstanding. When she finished speaking, she turned towards Su Yanyan, hinting, Yanyan, see? Wanwan already has a new boyfriend, how could she still be involved with Yuyun, right? Stop acting like a child from now on, and behave properly with Yuyan, understand? Ridiculous! Su Yuntang, too, expressed his dissatisfaction, scolding Su Yanyan. Su Yanyan bit her lips tightly, filled with resentment, but was utterly powerless. She had seen the news in the newspaper early this morning and thought she finally had the chance to expose Su Wanwans true colors, but who would have thought After causing such a ruckus, Huo Jingshen suddenly appeared and cleared up all the misunderstandings convincingly with just a few words. And in the end, she was the one in the wrong! Alright, alright. Su Xueqin interrupted impatiently, and looked at Huo Jingshen, Master Huo, how long have you been acquainted with Wanwan? Su Wanwans heart skipped a beat, but before she could respond, Huo Jingshen had already replied, Three days. Damn, what a pig! Just three days and she had already spent the night with him. Who would believe that they moved that fast? Three days? Su Xueqins brows furrowed again as his voice turned grave, Wanwan, what is going on? Su Wanwan pursed her lips. Then, she lifted her face, with a faint smile. Grandpa, whether its three days or three years, is time really that important? She met Xing Yuyun when she was seventeen. At that time, he had just returned from studying abroad. Gentle, handsome, polite C a model young man in the eyes of all the elders. He was kind and never looked down upon her stupid ways. But what happenedter? Back then, in order to get her to agree to the engagement, Su Xueqin had said that there was no one better than Yuyun. He had watched Yuyun grow up, and all the Xing familys children were dependable What a load of crap! It was a good thing she was always busy butting heads with Su Yuntang and Yanyan, andpletely uninterested in romantic rtionships. Otherwise the whole two women sharing one husband drama wouldve been truly cheesy! Su Xueqin seemed to empathize. He sighed deeply, Alright, alright, if you really like Master Huo that much, grandpa will listen to you. Haha Su Wanwans smile was a tad stiff. Even though its just been three days, Huo Jingshen added casually, Wanwan and I fell in love at first sight and are mutually attracted to each other. It feels like we met toote. Su Wanwan felt as though arge flock of ck crows was flying over her head. Love at first sight? Mutual attraction? Wished theyd met earlier? What the hell was he bbering about? Did he have to be so dramatic? Right, Yuyun? The moment Huo Jingshen asked this, Huo Qinyu instantly turned to her son, Yuyun, did you know about this beforehand? Xing Yuyun did not reply, but just coldly gazed at Huo Jingshen, his handsome face ice-cold. Such acquiescence was undoubtedly the best proof. Huo Qinyu felt a littleplex at that moment. Originally, Su Wanwan was just an unsavory stone in her eyes. She was Su Xueqins illegitimate daughter raised by him, and even her biological mother was unknown. But by the time Su Wanwan was born, Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi were already married. How good could a mistresss daughter be? Compared to her, Su Yanyan was gentle and delicate, and the legitimate heiress Of the Su family. Moreover, she had been admitted to the best university in Nancheng this year. Since the Xing family was keen on marrying a Su family daughter, Su Yanyan was naturally the best candidate. But now, to her absolute surprise, Su Wanwan, the one their Xing family didnt want, had suddenly hopped onto Huo Jingshens vehicle! If things really worked out between them, wouldnt that make Su Wanwan her niece-inw? Before Huo Qinyu could understand So today, I came here specifically to propose. With a p sound, the small cell phone that Su Wanwan had just regained slipped and fell to the ground. Under her astounded gaze, Huo Jingshen bent down and picked up the cell phone from the floor, Wanwan, are you this surprised? Su Wanwan grit her teeth and snatched her phone back. Wasnt she clearly terrified? So soon? Jiang Yi couldnt help but speak, Wanwan hasnt even finished her college yet, and you guys barely know each other. She was genuinely surprised. Shed assumed that Huo Jingshen was only flirting and would discard her once he tired of the chase. Who knew he would suddenly bring up marriage? If Su Wanwan really married into the Huo family, wouldnt things be Didnt you marry Yuntang before you finished college too? Su Xueqin interjected purely to aid Wanwan, which left Jiang Yi slightly abashed. She lowered her head, not daring to express her opinion any further. Su Yuntang, however, did not express his stance. As a matter of fact, he couldnt care less about who Su Wanwan married as long as she stayed out of his sight and never bothered him again. Wanwan. Su Xueqin turned to his granddaughter and spoke earnestly, Whether you get married or not, grandpa will leave it to you. If you really want to get married, grandpa will prepare a dowry for you, so that you can have a grand wedding! But grandpa still wants to say something C when ites to marriage, it rtes to your happiness for the rest of your life. Grandpa hopes that you consider it carefully and not choose the wrong person again. His speech made Su Wanwan feel likeughing and crying at the same time, but it also made some peoples faces twitch. After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan finally opened her mouth, Grandpa I dont want? Trouble, theres trouble! The maids voice interrupted her. Su Yuntangs tone was unhappy, Cant you see we have guests? Whats with your incessant moring! The one who ran in was a new maid. She said fearfully, Sir, arge group of journalists has arrived outside.. I cant stop them Chapter 29 - 29: 029, let’s get married Chapter 29: lets get married Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Whats happening? Su Yuntangs brows furrowed tightly. I heard them mentioning the police, a clubhouse The maid stammered, whereas Jiang Yi swiftly turned to Su Wanwan, asking pointedly, Is it because of what was on the newspaper? Impossible! Su Wanwan retorted without giving it a second thought: I just returned to the country three days ago. It was just one picture. Who would know I am the daughter of Secretary Su? Secretary Su immediately shot her a re. Quickly drive all the reporters away! Su Xueqin spoke with an impatience. After all this fuss, she, who was just recovering from a serious illness, was getting exhausted. Jiang Yi hurriedly called someone to take the old man back to his room to rest. A moment of silence washed over the living room, yet the noises outside seeped in. And the mor was growing. The maid soon returned, What should we do? The reporters refuse to leave. Su Yuntang felt a headacheing. As the deputy head of the Broadcasting Bureau was set to retire at the end of the year, his prospects of promotion were high. If word got out about his daughters scandal with a man, even if it was untrue, it could tarnish his image, even his promotion After much thought, he shifted his gaze to Huo Jingshen, Mr. Huo, as the heir of the Huo family, and since this incident involves Wanwans reputation and considering your uing marriage with her, I hope you could rify this in front of the reporters. Huo Jingshen remained expressionless. Indeed, this request was fair. After all, to everyone, the whole incident was a misunderstanding, and it would be most convincing if Huo Jingshen, one of the parties involved, rified it. Yet He brutally refused! More than that, he slightly tilted his head, looking towards Su Wanwan as if He was seeking his girlfriends opinion. But Su Wanwan was not in the mood for romance. Her beautiful eyes were coldly fixed on Su Yuntang, her tone mocking and derisive, So in the Su family, my reputation needs to be cleared by an outsider. If you hadnt been staying out all night, getting your picture taken in that kind of ce and published in the newspaper, would all this mess even happen? Su Yuntangs face was tense, If you had a shred of self-respect, if you remembered yourst name is Su, you should always be aware of your status and not always overstep bounds, causing me to lose face! Su Wanwan scoffed. Her father, for the sake of so-called face, was willing to ask an outsider for help rather than rify the situation for his daughter himself. It was utterly ridiculous. She should not have cooperated with Huo Jingshen just now to put on that performance. She should have waited for the journalists toe over, burst out the door and loudly admit that everything was true Would he be furious enough to go insane then? Youre stillughing? The attitude Su Wanwan always had especially irked Su Yuntang. She was always carefree and sarcastic. Except for Su Xueqin, she never took anyone seriously! Enraged, he blurted out harshly, I should not have kept you, an ill-begotten child in the first ce! Tomorrow youre getting out of here, back to M Country. Nevere back! Su Wanwan looked at him. Her rising rage was suddenly doused as if by a bucket of cold water, she was whelmed head to toe in coldness. She lifted her head and released a light sigh, What to do, I dont want to return to M Country. Besides, this ill-begotten child of yours, feels she can get a better match than your beloved daughter! Whether it in looks, wealth or background where could Xing Yuyun outshine Huo Jingshen? Under the jealous, resentful, or shocked gazes of everyone, Su Wanwan extended her hands to sp onto Huo Jingshens arm. Her smile bright yet resolute, I ept your proposal, lets get married! The mature and handsome man slowly curled his lips, Alright.. Chapter 30 - 30: 030, old man! Chapter 30: old man! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Outside the gates of Su Familys vi, dozens of journalists were huddled together. Despite being under the zing midday sun, they were raising their cameras, microphones, cell phones, and voice recorders high, unperturbed by the heat Their eyes were glued on the courtyard, afraid of missing out on any breaking news. Suddenly, an excited voice called out, Huo Jingshen is here! As Su Wanwan looked up, she saw a swarm of journalists, akin to a herd of frenzied sheep, dash past the servants into the yard, quickly encircling them and bombarding them with questions: Mr. Huo, what is your rtionship with thisdy? Is thisdy the fiancee you referred to as being in your room at your mansionst night? Are you really engaged? When do you n to host the wedding? Fiancee? Werent they here to question her about a newspaper article? Su Wanwan was slightly baffled. Yet, the shlights were too blinding. Without having any time to think, she immediately lowered her head, raising her hand to shield her face. Mid-air, her hand was seized. Then, she was drawn into a broad and secure embrace. Whatever he did caused the noisy crowd to quiet down at once. Im sorry. She heard his deep and resolute voice saying, My fiancee is a little shy, so if you have any questions, let me answer them. The journalists hurriedly threw the first question: Mr. Huo, is thisdy your fiancee? Huo Jingshen remained silent. The journalists quickly threw the second question, Mr. Huo, have you really decided to get married? Huo Jingshen was still silent. The journalists were relentless. They swiftly threw their third question: Mr. Huo, youve just be the new CEO of Huo Yuan property, would the chairman Mr. Huo know about your uing wedding? When Su Wanwan thought he would remain silent, the man responded lightly, You think that Im about to marry and the elders wouldnt know? Su Wanwan: Alright then! One question and hed answered all the rest. The journalists eximed in unison, Congrattions Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo, you are so fortunate! May the two of you grow old together and live a peaceful life! The shes from the cameras filled the air along with the shutter clicks. Last night, a gossipy inte user posted a disclosure on the entertainment forum, alleging to have sneakily photographed the Huo family heir and his mysterious fiancee having a secret meeting at the mansion. Naturally, the journalists found this exciting. But knowing Huo Jingshens status, they knew the Huo family would never easily ept their interviews. Even if they managed to sneak some photos, the photos would never be approved for publication. They never imagined that their prayers would be answered today when they were notified that Mr. Huo was here, discussing his wedding with his fiancee, and would make a five-minute window for interviews. Looking at it now, the heir of Huo family is not only handsome and good-tempered, but also down-to-earth C a truly outstanding man, the journalists thought to themselves. The five minutes passed quickly, and Huo Jingshen, still clutching his fiancee, was ready to leave. Though the journalists willingly paved the way, the relentless ones still followed them, asking: Mr. Huo, could we take a photo of your fiancees face? Mr. Huo, when have you nned the wedding? Mr. Huo It wasnt until they got into the car and closed the door behind them that the world finally fell silent. Su Wanwan sighed deeply, never imagining she would be the lead character in a gossip story one day. How exciting! Mu Shang quickly drove away from the vi. As they exited the main gate of themunity, Su Wanwan suddenly shouted, Stop the car! Stop the car! Huo Jingshen didnt stop. Lifting his brows, he nced at the jittery girl beside him, What are you trying to do? Su Wanwans mouth hung open, but she couldnt find the words to articte her thoughts. It was only now that she realized that she had impulsively agreed to marriage! That too, to a man she had only met a few times! Indeed, she had done many unconventional things before turning eighteen, but getting married on a whim Su Wanwan felt like she was dreaming. Suddenly, her cellphones ringtone went off. Huo Jingshen nced at the screen and answered it. Holy crap, you finally answered your phone. It was Nangong Ci. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Did you invite the reporters? It wasnt me. Heh. I swear, it wasnt me, it was my brother. Im a doctor, where would I know so many gossip-hungry reporters? Nangong Ci protested, You scared me to death. I called you over a dozen times, and you didnt even reply on WeChat. Didnt I teach you how to use it? I didnt have my phone on me. I see. Nangong Ci chuckled, So, does this mean everything is settled? Huo Jingshen couldnt be bothered to respond. Great! When youe back to the U.K., dont forget your marriage certificate. Fu Xihan wouldnt let you get divorced then. As for Dong Manjiao, she should give up too. Youve killed two birds with one stone. The old one really knows his stuff, your ambitions are boundless! The call was abruptly hung up. ** A private room on the sixth floor of a luxury residence. Nangong Ci wasnt annoyed that the call was hung up, instead heughed and pointed at the two in the room, Look at you guys, my elder brother has already found a wife. Arent you guys feeling the pressure? Youre not getting any younger, you know? Chu Xiuhuang shot him a cold nce, I think youre asking for a beating. As for Lu Chenyu, Youre older than me. Nangong Ci: ** Inside the Mercedes, while Huo Jingshen was on the phone, Su Wanwan was sneakily scrutinizing her future husband. His short hair was stylishly cut, indicating that he was a man who took great care of his personal image. Below the hair, were thick eyebrows, eyes that were neither big nor small, with deep double eyelids, making him look profound. His eyshes were exceptionally long. A straight nose that exuded a certain air of arrogance and thin lips. His lower jaw was cleanly shaven. His face was very pleasing to the eye. His side profile was even more so, with perfect lines. His ambience was cool but also very charming. Anyway, Su Wanwan had to admit, Huo Jingshen was undoubtably a handsome man. She felt like she struck gold. Are you satisfied with your husbands face? Cough, cough, cough! Su Wanwan choked. Huo Jingshen freed arge hand to gently pat her back, No rush. These two words, he said very gently. Su Wanwan thought to herself, not bad, quite considerate. But who knew the very next second Youll have plenty of time in future to look at me. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Su Wanwan turned to look out the window, Where are we going? Back to the Huo Familys house. What? Su Wanwan, startled, turned her face back. So soon she was about to meet her inws? Huo Jingshen could barely contain hisughter, Is Wanwan feeling shy? Shy your bum! My grandparents are quite nice, Huo Jingshenforted her, Theyve always wanted me to get married sooner. Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask, How old are you now? Thirty. What the hell! Su Wanwan blurted out, Thats so old! Hes a thirty-year-old man! A whole ten years older than her! Mmm, it is a bit old. Huo Jingshens voice was adorably smug, Ill let you get used to it slowly. Su Wanwan: Why does that sentence feel a bit off? Somethings a bit weird Chapter 31 - 31: 031, met the parents Chapter 31: met the parents Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The courtyard. In the Huos family living room, Mrs. Huo put down the phone, Wen Xiu, we can start dinner now. Aunt, its still early, lets wait a little longer. The speaker is a middle-aged beautiful woman, sitting next to her daughter Xiang Ranxin. She is pretty and has an elegant temperament, and her white dress just makes her look even more graceful. Mrs. Huo waved her hand with a smile, No need, I called in the morning and was told that he could only return in the afternoon. So, well eat first and when Ashen returns, let him chat with Ranxin. Hearing this, Xiang Ranxin blushed and hung her head in silence. Mrs. Huo was pleased by her shy and modest demeanor. The eldest daughter of the Xiang family was twenty-five, beautiful and smart, and had excellent conditions. The two families had already privately agreed on their marriage, nning to engage her to the second son of the Huo family, Huo Nuanyang. However, ever since Huo Nuanyang was promoted within team X, he had been rarely at home and the two younger generation had no chance to see each other. On the other hand, Huo Jingshen had been frequentlying and going from the courtyard ever since returning to the country, inadvertently attracting Mrs. Xiangs attention Mrs. Huo thought to herself, whether it was Huo Jingshen or Huo Nuanyang, they were her grandsons all the same. Huo Jingshen was even two years older than Huo Nuanyang, believing in the saying established at thirty, if Xiang Ranxin could marry Huo Jingshen, it would be a good thing. So she called Huo Jingshen early in the morning to gauge his thoughts about marriage. To her surprise, Huo Jingshen not only readily admitted to wanting to get married but even said that the sooner the better, and asked her to quickly choose an auspicious date. Mrs. Huo was delighted and immediately contacted Mrs. Xiang, leading to todays matchmaking banquet. Amid theughter and chatter, everyone got up and moved to the dining room. Just as they settled down, a servant hurried in to report, Master, Madam, the eldest young master is back. What a coincidence? Mrs. Huo quickly stood up again. * * * When Mrs. Huo arrived in the living room, she froze at the sight. Huo Jingshen was standing in the entrance, and next to him was a young girl! She looked no more than eighteen or neen, with delicate features, a clean and white face, and at first nce, she looked like a beautiful porcin doll. Ashen, who is this? Huo Jingshens words shocked everyone, My wife. What? Mrs. Huos volume suddenly went up. The expressions of the people behind her also changed in an instant. Su Wanwan was also stunned: Huo Jingshen nced at everyone with a deep and calm gaze. Call them. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes. Call who? It wasnt until he gave her a squeeze on her hand that she got the hint, immediately opened her little mouth crisply and spoke, Hello, Grandpa! Hello, Grandma! She then looked at the elegantly dressed mother and daughter duo. After a brief pause, she continued to say in a crisp voice, Hello, Auntie! Hello, Sister! With these titles, she shouldnt be wrong, right? Who would have expected Mrs. Xiang to look even more upset at her words. As for Xiang Ranxin, the awkwardness was added to the inconvenience. Butpared to this fresh and cute young girl, isnt she, who is already twenty-five, just a sister? Both Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo didnt look too satisfied, which made Su Wanwan quite anxious. She quickly turned to Huo Jingshen. Did she address the wrong people? Huo Jingshen was watching her, but he asked, Are you hungry? Not hungry. Just as the words left Su Wanwans mouth, a rumble resounded from her stomach. Because everyone else was silent, the sound echoed clearly in the living room. Damn awkward! Su Wanwans mouth twitched. Did it need to be this embarrassing? She was thinking about making a good first impression on the elders by her entrance. Hm. Huo Jingshen gave a very short chuckle. Then he stopped a servant who was standing by. Aunt Xiu, is lunch ready? It its ready, Young Master. The servant barely stuttered out her reply and then quickly walked into the dining room with a tray. This ce was a bit weird, she should leave sooner. Huo Jingshen seemed oblivious as he held Su Wanwans small hand and walked into the living room. The other four people remained silent, the atmosphere eerie. After a moment, Mrs. Xiang spoke awkwardly, Im sorry, but something just came up at home. I and Ranxin will leave first. Mrs. Huo was also embarrassed, Then Ill see you off. Theres no need, no need We should, we should Su Wanwan was bewildered. Well, apparently she called the wrong people. The mother and daughter duo were not Huo Jingshens rtives, but guests. Before she could think further Ashen. Mr. Huo grimaced, Come with me to the study. Okay, Grandpa. Huo Jingshen respectfully agreed, then turned to Su Wanwan and whispered, Wait here, Ill be right back. Okay. Su Wanwan nodded. She looked obedient and well-behaved. As expected, Mr. Huo shot her a nce from the corner of his eyes, but then quickly turned around and walked away. When Huo Jingshen followed him into the study and closed the door, Su Wanwan finally let out a sigh of relief. She had mistakenly expected the Huo family to be simply nouveau riche who ran apany and did business, richer and more powerful than the Xing Family, but she hadnt expected the family background to be soplex, and living in a courtyard that one could only see in the news. As she entered, the heavily guarded look of the security guards almost made her feel like she had traveled through time. Third young master. There was suddenly some movement at the entrance. Another member of the Huo familys arrived? Su Wanwan immediately straightened her posture. This time, she must make a good impression. The footsteps of the neer grew louder and closer with each step, and then Su! Wan! Wan! Chapter 32 - 32: 032, Grandma likes you Chapter 32: Grandma likes you Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Wanwan frowned at the man in front of her with his hair standing on end. He was probably in his early twenties, wore sunsses, dressed in a gaudy floral shirt, had a bandage on his head, and wore a semi-long hair in the middle C reminiscent of A small-time thug you can find anywhere on the streets. Who are you?1 She didnt remember knowing such a character. Hearing this, Huo Zhexi almost fainted in anger. She cracked his head open, got him grounded and scolded for several days by Huo Yuanshan, and now shes innocently asking who he is? He pointed fiercely at her face and said, Speak! Why are you here in my home? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, sounding genuinely innocent, This is your home? What an idiot! Huo Zhexi suddenly removed his sunsses, and the next second Damn! Youre not here toin to my grandpa, are you? Grandpa? Su Wanwan seemed to make sense of it, so this thug was Huo Jingshens younger brother? The little brother was already cursing, Listen up, you stinky girl, I havent settled the bar issue with you yet. If you ever mention the drug incident that I did to you, I I will kill you! Drugged? Su Wanwan grabbed the point, When did you ever drug me? Huo Zhexi: Damn! She didnt know about the drugging? So why did he confess out of nowhere? Is it toote to pretend that nothing happened? Zhexi! The voice of Mrs. Huo had alreadye over. The once ferocious Huo Zhexi instantly turned soft, Grandma. Mrs. Huo walked into the living room and pped him on the arm, The moment you get home, you start shouting! I can hear you all the way! Didnt you see we have guests? Huo Zhexi bulged his eyes, Guests? Not exactly guests, this youngdy is going to be your sister-inw soon. Mrs. Huo said, and she took a good look at Su Wanwan. She didnt have time to look closely before What the hell! Huo Zhexi shouted. Shes your big brothers girlfriend, the one hes about to marry, Mrs. Huo patiently exined, immediately walking up to Su Wanwan. Finally, she could have a close look! This young girl was really good-looking, with a delicate, oval face, fair skin, beautiful features. The kind that would stand out in a crowd at a nce. Especially those pretty phoenix eyes, carrying a little bit of a peach blossoming allure. Even without any makeup now, the corners of her eyes were upwards, which seemed particrly spirited when she smiled. After inspecting her from head to toe, Mrs. Huo was relieved. Never mind that she couldnt marry the mayors daughter as a granddaughter-inw, as long as Ashen liked this little girl and they had a good rtionship, that was better than anything else. Grandma! Huo Zhexi rushed over, This stinky girl is bad news! She seduced me at the bar on purpose. You cant let her marry big brother! What nonsense are you talking? Im not spouting nonsense. Whats more, this wound on my head was because of her! Mrs. Huo frowned, apparently not believing him. After all, Huo Zhexi was a tall man over one meter eight, and Su Wanwan was a delicate little girl. It just didnt look like he was beaten by her! Su Wanwan had a sudden realization, so that was the guy from the bar that night? She had had too much to drink and wasnt in a good mood. Mo Weiyi once said that when she got drunk, she became apletely different person. She became unbridled and destructive, even men couldnt handle her. Just as she was considering how to exin it You think I dont know your personality? The old woman snorted coldly, It must be that you saw a pretty youngdy and had lustful thoughts, even attempted to harass her. You deserved to be beaten up! Youre lucky she didnt kick your privates! Pfft! Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh and hurriedly lowered her head to hold it in. Huo Zhexi red at her maliciously, then continued to distort the story, Grandma, I really didnt do anything. It was this Su Wanwan who seduced me first, and now shes here to seduce big brother. She must have ulterior motives! Su Wanwan? Old Lady Huo repeated it, then happily took Su Wanwans hand, Youre so beautiful, and your name is so lovely. Grandma likes you. Huo Zhexi: After praising Su Wanwan, Old Lady Huo turned to Huo Zhexi. Her expression changed 180 degrees, and she warned him sternly, Zhexi, I will put up with your antics at ordinary times but not today. Your big brother is turning thirty, a man of that age, and its not easy to find such a beautiful wife. If you scare off my daughter-inw, I wont let you off! Huo Zhexi was so angry that he almost spat blood, Grandmother, am I really your grandson? If you werent my grandson, I would be happy enough to eat an extra two bowls of rice! Old Madam Huo replied without any hesitation. Huo Zhexi started to speak again when suddenly, there was a loud crash from the study. * * This is ridiculously insane! Inside the study, papers and stationary were scattered all over the floor. Old man Huo stood behind the desk, gasping for breath, and his eyes were full of anger. Compared to his intense anger, Huo Jingshens face didnt change at all. He even bent down to pick up the items on the floor, one by one, and put them back on the table. His tone was indifferent as well. Grandpa, you should take care of your health. The doctor said those with high blood pressure should keep their mood pleasant. Old man Huos face stiffened. Under Huo Jingshens calm yet seemingly all-knowing gaze, he abruptly turned around. After gradually calming down, old man Huo started speaking again, If you truly dislike the mayors daughter and dont want to get involved with the political world, thats fine. Ill ask Weng Ying to help you find a good girl from a respectable family, with a crystal-clear background. But this Su Wanwan wont do. Do you know that the Su family never admitted to having her as their daughter? No one knows who her birth mother is, do you know why that is? Because disgrace should be kept within the family! If you were to marry her and her mothers past were to surface, where would I, Huo Yuanshan, put my face? Where would our Huo family. Did you not advise my father in the same way back then, Grandfather? A single phrase made old man Huo freeze. As someone who had lived past his seventieth birthday, his biggest concern was Due to differences in opinions regarding marriage matters, he fell out with his favorite eldest son. As a result, father and son became irreconcble enemies. Huo Zecheng, with his wife and children, gave up everything resolutely and emigrated to Y Country. Several years ago, Huo Zecheng died as a stranger in a foreignnd, and father and son never saw each other for thest time. After my mother passed away, my father lived in a trance every day. Every time I went home, he always assumed that my mother hade back. Sometimes he even mistook Jinghua. Looking at the words able to let go on the wall, Huo Jing Shens voice was low and nd, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Then one day, Jinghua was filming abroad, and I was negotiating with people outside. The servant didnt watch him, and he ran out alone and identally fell from the tenth floors staircase of the mall. That mall was newly built, and every floor was made of ss. Stop speaking! The old man interrupted in an unsteady voice. Huo Jing Shen didnt continue. There was a deathly silence in the study.. Chapter 33 - 33: 033, taking wife to get the marriage certificate Chapter 33: taking wife to get the marriage certificate Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion , Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Knock, knock, knock! Old Madam Huo knocked on the door a few times, Old man, Im giving you five more minutes to finish your conversation. Hurry up and bring out Ashen for dinner! 11 II When she turned around again, old Master Huo had already regained hisposure, I ask you, how old is this Su Wanwan this year? She just turned 20 today. Old Master Huo almost lost his temper again. A damn thirty-year-old man acting ridiculously smitten with a twenty-year-old girl. He indeed inherited his fathers unprincipled character! Seduced by beauty! Although she is only twenty. There was a hint of teasing in Huo Jingshens eyes, She is already very mature for her age. Old Master Huo didnt detect any undertone in his words, only replied, After that, let Qinyu give her some education. Now that she is prepared to join the Huo family as a daughter-inw, she must understand some basic etiquette. Huo Jingshen was nomittal. Moreover, theres no need to rush the wedding. Old Master Huo advised, She is still young, you have just returned to the country not long ago, the group hasnt stabilized, and your career should be the priority. Put your personal rtionship on hold; you two can continue dating for now Im afraid thats not possible. II II Old Master Huo was breathing heavily, looking quite aggravated. As an elder, he believed he had made a significant concession. Huo Jingshen said, A reporter came to interview at the Su family house earlier. As of now, probably everyone in Nancheng knows about my wedding. Old Master Huo was speechless, * * Dining room. Huo family was using a Chinese-style round table for their dining, Su Wanwan was asked to sit next to the old madam, while Huo Zhexi sat across from her, ring at her with murderous eyes. Su Wanwan felt that this younger brother was somewhat childish. Soon, thest dish was served by the servant, and Old Master Huo and Huo Jingshen had wrapped up their conversation, leisurely entering the dining room. Huo Jingshen directly sat next to Su Wanwan, while Old Master Huo took his ce at the head of the table. Now that everyone is here, lets eat. After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, everyone started eating. Other than the sounds of bowls and chopsticks, it was unexpectedly quiet with no one speaking a word. Su Wanwan bowed her head, about to lift a chopstick of rice Wanwan, have some fish soup first, its good for a womans body. Old Madam Huo said, cing a bowl of fish soup in front of Su Wanwan. Thank you, grandma. Su Wanwan put down the chopsticks, just about to take the spoon Try the sweet and sour pork ribs, its Yunxius specialty. After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, she gestured to Huo Jingshen, Ashen, hurry up and serve your wife some food. Huo Jingshen stood up, reached across the table, and brought back the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs that was in front of Huo Zhexi. Huo Zhexi protested, Big brother, I havent eaten yet! Respect your elders. Huo Jingshen didnt even nce at him, When your sister-inw finishes eating, you can eat. Damn it! Huo Zhexi couldnt bear such injustice and shouted on the spot, This is too much! Grandma, look at big brother, he Bang! Old Master Huo hit his chopsticks abruptly, If you dont want to eat, get lost! Huo Zhexi immediately wilted, hanging his head and daring not make another fuss. Su Wanwan was also somewhat scared by this. However, Old Madam Huo wasughing, Wanwan, hurry up and taste the pork ribs. Okay. The meal was finally over, taken in tense silence. Aside from Huo Zhexi who had tension with her, Old Master Huo who was too stern, Old Madam Huo seemed to be quite approachable. She didnt possess the shrewdness and malice of the matriarchs in TV dramas. Her warmth caught her off guard. Returning to the living room, Huo Jingshen picked up the car keys, We have things to do, well leave first. ItS only two oclock. Isnt your flight in the evening? Where are you rushing to? Old Madam Huo was displeased. She hadnt had the chance to chat with her granddaughter-inw yet. Huo Jingshen was very confident, I am going to get the marriage certificate with my wife. Su Wanwan: * * Sus vi. The sound of a delicate womans voice came from the partially closed bathroom on the first floor. Brother Yun, I wronged you. I didnt know that my sister and your cousin were together. I wont be angry with you anymore, can you forgive me? Its not me you should be apologizing to. I know, I wronged my sister. I shouldnt have mentioned what was on the newspaper today. I will apologize to her right away. Su Yanyan spoke humbly, Brother Yun, from now on I will listen to you, we Tomorrow, I will personally mention the cancetion of our engagement to my grandparents. Xing Yuyun said coldly before pulling the door open and leaving. Su Yanyan was startled and quickly followed. Once outside, however, she was stopped by Jiang Yi, Yanyan, calm down. Mom, Ive apologized to Brother Yun, why does he still want to cancel our engagement? The wedding invitations have been sent out. All our friends and rtives know about it. If Im really dumped now, Ill be theughingstock of everyone! -All right, dont make a fuss. Jiang Yi lowered her voice, Ive already talked to your Aunt Huo. She will persuade Yuyun. Dont push him too hard for now But he mentioned going to Xing Grandpa and Xing Grandma! Su Yanyan interrupted tearfully. She had previously thought, it was just Xing Yuyun throwing a tantrum, so she didnt take it to heart. But if it really got to Xing Familys elders, there would probably be no room for maneuvering anymore. It wasnt until then that Jiang Yi realized the seriousness of the situation. She was about to speak when the maids voice cut in. Madam, someone is here to see the master. The study door swung open, Su Yuntangs brows knit tightly, Who are you? Mr. Su, hello, my name is Ji Jie and Im Mr. Huos assistant. Ji Jie introduced himself, pulling out a business card, Mr. Huo asked me toe pickup Ms. Sus personal belongings. Upon hearing this, Su Yuntang immediately ordered the maid, You go upstairs, pack up that wretchs stuff and let him take it all. Yes, sir. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Su. Ji Jie added, We also need your help to provide the household register. Mr. Huo said it is needed for the marriage certificate. Su Yuntang became even more impatient, Go get the household register too. Behind him, Su Yanyans face suddenly changed, Mom, is Su Wanwan really going to marry into the Huo family Dont say it. Jiang Yis eyes warned her against it, especially since there were outsiders present. Su Yanyan bit her lip, her heart was itching ufortably like it was being tickled by countless ants. Everything had been nned originally. She snatched Xing Yuyun, Su Wanwan got dumped, and wasughed at by everyone. Howe now She was the one being dumped? And Su Wanwan was going to marry into the Huo family? No! She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen! Chapter 34 - 34: 034, Flunky Assistant Chapter 34: Flunky Assistant Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Meanwhile, at a civil affairs bureau in Nancheng. Su Wanwan was seated on a long bench in the lobby, aimlessly swinging her fair little legs, utterly bored. She turned her head and saw a man standing outside making a phone call. One hand was stuffed into his suit trouser pocket while the other held a mobile phone, his raised arm revealing distinct muscle lines. His shirt was as clean as if it had been bleached, and his suit trousers were as impably ironed as always. He was intently focused, his expression calm, the profile of his face perfect like a masterpiece carved by a knife Compared to the people around him, he always seemed like a wise, reserved businessman. Yet, he had impulsively married her, who he met only three days ago! Mrs. Huo. Madam Huo. Miss Su? Su Wanwan finally lifted her head, Did you call me? The clerk wiped off some sweat. Was Mrs. Huos hearing impaired? Miss Su, could you please give me your and Mr. Huos IDs? Su Wanwan twirled a strand of her hair around, What IDs? I didnt bring them. The clerk: Werent they supposed to have arranged everything in advance? Howe she didnt bring any IDs? Wait a moment, the IDs will be here soon. Huo Jingshens voice sounded from the side. Alright, Mr. Huo. The clerk left, and Huo Jingshen walked up and stood in front of Su Wanwan. His deep ck eyes swept over her cute little legs, then he said, I have a flight to Y Country at six tonight. Really? Thats great! Su Wanwan was just about to- when she saw his eyes narrow slightly. You seem very happy? Su Wanwan coughed twice, lowering her head. It was not because she was timid! Primarily, it was because he was ten whole years older than her, had vastly more social experience, and was much taller. The way he looked down at her made his aura too intimidating. I will be back in a week, if everything goes well, I might only need five days. Huo Jingshen finished speaking as if instructing a subordinate, You can call me if anything happens over the next few days, you can also He paused, send me a WeChat message. He only started using this trendy app aftering back from abroad because Nangong Ci insisted that everyone in China was using it. Su Wanwan nodded, but she was thinking, what could possibly happen? Let me add you on WeChat, and give me your mobile number. After he finished speaking, a ck business smartphone appeared in front of her. Su Wanwans mouth twitched. She did not want to add him, but he was still standing there- with no other option, Su Wanwan took the phone and obediently added him. Hello, Mr. Huo! Hello, Mrs. Huo! The sound of running footsteps suddenly appeared. After handing over the IDs to Huo Jingshen, Ji Jie respectfully handed a small pink bag, Maam, this is your luggage. Thank you. Youre wee, Maam. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. Ji Jie spoke obsequiously. Thank you. No need to be so polite to me, Maam. Su Wanwan: You can go now. At Huo Jingshensmand, Ji Jie immediately showed obedience, Alright, Mr. Huo, I wish you and Maam a happy marriage, may you live together until old age! Goodbye! Su Wanwan: 10 minutester. Su Wanwan got back into the car and looked at the bright red booklet in her hand, still feeling a bit dazed. The whole thing happened so fast! If Mo Weiyi, who had been considering how to marry her for 10 years, knew she got herself married in less than half a day, would he cry? She suddenly felt a warmth in her hand, and the red booklet was gone. Su Wanwans eyes shot open, What are you doing? Huo Jingshen took his phone, held the two red booklets in his hand and made a click sound, then said, Official announcement. Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen sent the picture to a WeChat group and then started the car.. Chapter 35 - 35: 035, an older man dating a younger woman is also your sister-in-law Chapter 35: an older man dating a younger woman is also your sister-inw Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He was oblivious to the fact that the official announcement photo had blown up in the WeChat group. Everything was smooth sailing. Just like their hitch-free marriage. Su Wanwan thought they were going back to the militarypound, but to her surprise, Mu Shang pulled up at the Tianquan Royal Court. Its the most prominent affluent residence in Nancheng, located near the fourth ring of Nancheng, the inspiration for its design sourced from Europes most renowned architects. It is said that even a slight fluctuation in the mood of the homeowners here could impact the GDP of the whole of Nancheng, earning it the nickname of barometer of Nancheng. Mu Shang pulled up in a yard and stopped. Su Wanwan got out of the car first and saw several fancy cars parked in the garage ahead, all either Maybachs or Ferraris. Her husband sure lived avish life! Woof! Suddenly, the barking of a dog echoed. Su Wanwan turned around and saw a dark shadow rushing at her like an arrow. Ahhhhhhhh! Su Wanwan shrieked, quickly turned around, and practically with all fours, clung onto Huo Jingshen in an instant. All within a second. Huo Jingshen arched his eyebrow, naturally reaching out to support her. Hurry! Su Wanwan held onto his neck firmly, her voice trembling, Get the dog away! Woof! The dog had already run up to them, raising its front paws and sticking out its tongue. Wanwan felt a strange, mmy sensation on her leg Ahhhhhhhh! Su Wanwan almost copsed in fear, her voice breaking, Hurry, get it away, Im terrified of dogs! Huo Jingshen: Um. The feeling of having a legitimate reason to hold his wife after getting married was not bad, but soon Holy shit! Tsk tsk. Hehe. Three beaming third wheels came out from the vi. Huo Jingshen had no choice but to speak up, Xiao San, take Ko back. Damn it, how many times have I told you, dont call me Xiao San! Nangong Ciined, but obediently took the dog leash anyway. Ko was also unhappy. Ever since it arrived in China, no one had taken it for a walk. It hardly saw its master, and now it was wrong to show its affection to its owner? The German Shepherd felt wronged as it was led away, looking back three times with every step. Huo Jingshen patted the back of the young girls head, Its safe now. Su Wanwan slowly lifted her head, first looking around to make sure the dog was gone, and then She saw two unfamiliar young men standing behind her. Both were very tall. One holding a ss of red wine, with a devilishly handsome face and a rather feminine air about him. His thin lips pulled up in a smirk, clearly he wasnt someone to mess with. The other had his hands in his pockets, sporting ck-rimmed sses, a id shirt, and trousers. Though he appeared schrly and refined, his expressionless face gave off an otaku vibe. Holy shit! Blushing, she quickly jumped down from Huo Jingshens arms. Has the case in the mansion been handled? Huo Jingshen asked indifferently. Didnt you say youre going public and wanted us toe celebrate? Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, his alluring eyes swiftly sizing up Su Wanwan, he asked, How old is this girl? Is she even eighteen? Call her sister-inw. No sooner had Huo Jingshen spoken. Sister-inw. The emotionless man immediatelyplied. Damn it Lu, cant you have some decency? Chu Xiuhuang looked at Lu Chenyu with disdain. This damn kid usually remained silent, every day with that impassive face, acting all deep and restrained. But now hes suddenly taking the initiative? Lu Chenyu said word by word, Even if its an older man marrying a younger woman, shes still sister-inw. Huo Jingshens face darkened. Su Wanwan coughed. Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and drained his ss of red wine in one go. Even if he was an older man whos marrying a younger girl, how could he, Mr. Chu, call a young girl his sister-inw? Sorry, he just couldnt say it. You can leave now. Huo Jingshen started to hustle the guests out. Cmon bro. Nangong Ci rushed back from the dog house, hastily exining, I specially called these guys over to celebrate your announcement, Little Mingzi is abroad, well include him next time. He finished, then started winking, Yo, Miss Su, you move so quickly Call her sister-inw. Lu Chenyu interrupted. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but give him another side-eye, was this kid on drugs today? Why was he talking so much? And why was he so eager to please? Sister-inw! Nangong Cis loud voice startled Ko in the doghouse, causing it to howl. Su Wanwan had an instinctive fear of dogs and unconsciously moved towards Huo Jingshen, holding onto his arm. Her helpless and innocent demeanor was truly endearing. Huo Jingshen felt a softness in his heart. His mood instantly brightened, his eyebrows rxed, and the corner of his lips rose slightly. Chu Xiuhuangs eyelid twitched as he watched. Damn it, this man smiling like an idiot was that Huo Jingshen? He must be mistaking him for Shi Lezhi (a fictional Japanese character known for his constant smile).. Chapter 36 - 36: 036, The Aesthetics of an Old Man Chapter 36: The Aesthetics of an Old Man Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Upon entering the living room, Huo Jingshen called for a servant, Take thedy upstairs to rest first. Yes, sir. When Su Wanwan and the servants figures disappeared, Chu Xiuhuang snickered, Ah, married men are indeed different. Huo Jingshen nced at him indifferently. An ominous nce. Big brother, whats so different? Nangong Ci couldnt help but ask. How couldnt he notice it? Lu Chenyu, also single, raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Chu Xiuhuang lifted his red wine, took an unhurried sip, and said, You two bachelors should try dating first, thene back and ask me your questions. Nangong Ci rolled his eyes, What does this have to do with dating? You two havent even started dating yet, barely made it past primary school, and already want to discuss postgraduate matters? Chu Xiuhuang added after finishing, Brother is an exception. He bypassed kindergarten and graduated directly. Pfft! Nangong Ci spat out a mouthful of red wine. Alternatively, Lu Chenyu gave his big brother a thumbs-up. Huo Jingshen narrowed his dark eyes, Are all three of you jobless? Are they nning on staying forever? Chu Xiuhuang casually stretched his long legs, as leisurely as always, Big brother, I lost millions because of you this time. If you dont give me an exnation, Ill go to Xiao Yebai. Second brother, Xiao Yebai is backed by the Mo family. Nangong Ci reminded. So what? Its just the Mo family. He, Chu Xiuhuang, wasnt concerned about them at all, or else he wouldnt bepeting with the Mo family through his investments. Huo Jingshen stood up right away, Make yourself scarce before Ie back downstairs. Everyone: ** Upstairs, Su Wanwan looked around the enormous master bedroom, Are there any other rooms? Mydy, this is the master bedroom. The servant responded in surprise. Surely Mr. Huo and his wife arent nning on sleeping in separate rooms? Of course, Su Wanwan knew this was the master bedroom. The entire room was colored only in shades of ck, white, and grey. Understated and cool. Monotonous and dull. It screamed of an old mans aesthetic taste: she couldnt get used to it! Moreover, this room was too big and empty, with hardly any decorations. If she were to sleep here it might be quite unsettling. Mydy, you can call me Auntie Liu, like the master, and Ill be here working from 10 to 6 every day. If theres anything you need, please dont hesitate to call me at any time. Okay, thank you, Auntie Liu. After the servant left, the first thing Su Wanwan did was get her phone charger and plug in her phone. Then, she went to open the door to the bathroom. Wow, even the bathroom was massive! An entire wall was covered in mirrors. The tiles were made of ck and white marble and divided into three sections for washing, showering, and bathing. The bathing area was particrly noticeable due to the exceptionallyrge bathtub. Taking a bath here at night would surely be very rxing The bathtub seems not big enough. The sudden voice startled Su Wanwan. Holy crap. Did this man not make any noise when he walked? Turning around, she saw Huo Jingshen standing behind her. He was so close that She could smell the faint scent of tobo on him. Su Wanwan subconsciously stepped back. Wearing Huo Jingshens slippers, which were toorge, her foot unexpectedly slid out,nding on the cold tile. Huo Jingshen looked down, her small, incredibly white foot standing out against the ck tiles. White enoughto be rather tempting. Scrambling to stuff her foot back into the slipper, Su Wanwan, flustered and at a loss for words, stammered, Ah, you arent youte for your flight? The man merely grunted in response. Isnt it almost half-past four? Su Wanwan kindly reminded him. Not to worry, he said, before taking a step forward. Su Wanwan couldnt help but retreat a step back. Yet Huo Jingshen advanced another step. Whatare you trying to do? Su Wanwan blinked her clear and bright eyes, her words stumbling out. Huo Jingshen stared at her unwaveringly, Ah, I want to, butI cant. Su Wanwan: Err Was hemaking a move on her? Come here. Huo Jingshen decided to stop beating around the bush and reached out a hand to gesture her over. What on earth are you nning to do? Staring back into his eyes, Su Wanwan felt like a little rabbit that had fallen into a wolfsir, her heart pounding with fear. She was aware that its normal for married couples to do that, but he was supposed to be catching a flight today, wasnt he? He wasnt nning to devour her this hurriedly, was he? Come here. His voice held a hint of impatience this time. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth. Whatever. Eater he must, eater he shall. Whether it was sooner orter, she would be eaten anyway! Bracing herself, she moved to take a step, but before she couldplete it, her hand was grasped. Close your eyes. Su Wanwan was a bit mystified. Huo Jingshen curled his attractive thin lips, Do you like to kiss with your eyes open? Su Wanwan:??? Chapter 37 - 37: 037, Wedding Gifts Chapter 37: Wedding Gifts Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The next morning, car shopping. Wanwan, this car isnt bad Wanwan, Wanwan! Su Wanwan jerked back to reality, What? Mo Weiyis beautiful cat eyes stared directly at her, Are you thinking about Huo Jingshen? Su Wanwan: Indeed, she was thinking about Huo Jingshen specifically, that kiss. It was so lingering and tender. It was more shocking than the first time at the hospital, like she was electrified all over, and she couldnt even remember how Huo Jingshen left I knew it! Mo Weiyi pped her hands with excitement, Hes only been gone a day and youre already beside yourself. Wow, it really is different for newlyweds. Su Wanwan coughed twice, So what if I miss him? Were married now, cant I miss my own husband? Her words were so bold that Mo Weiyi was left speechless. The next second, she leaned closer to Su Wanwan, whispering suggestively, So, how is histechnique? Su Wanwan: -You didnt want to sayst time, fine. But now youre married and youre still shy? Mo Weiyi prodded her, impatient and eager, very unlike theposed elegance of a Nanchengdy. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Does Xiaobai know how lustful you are? Hes my husband, of course, he knows. Su Wanwan: Besides, if I wasnt thirsty, could I have sessfully snagged him? Su Wanwan again: Well, that makes sense. Xiao Yebai was someone she had hardly interacted with. Every time they met, it was when he came to pick up Mo Weiyi from the boarding school. He gave her the impression of being: cold, very cold, extremely cold! With a disinterested icy expression on his handsome face, he was aloof and distant. And Mo Weiyi was like a passionate little sun, always full of energy It proved that the power of the sun was great indeed. But you said Huo Jingshen went back to the UKst night, so you didnt consummate the marriage? Mo Weiyis eyes brightened, I know what wedding gift to give you now. What? Its a secret. Mo Weiyi said, looking mysterious. Miss. At that moment, Zhou Teng ran in from outside, greeting Mo Weiyi, Miss Mo. Uncle Zhou, Ive made my choice. Ill go with this one, Su Wanwan pointed at a small red car casually. Mo Weiyi wasnt satisfied, Wanwan, youre now the wife of the CEO of Huo Yuan Real Estate. Youre just going for a Camry? I think its pretty good. She didnt have a clear concept of money. Although she had not been favored growing up, due to Su Xueqins existence, Su Yuntang never dared to treat her poorly materially. The two daughters had the same allowance. Besides, the money for this car was given by Su Xueqin How about a BMW at least? Mo Weiyi pointed to a white convertible sports car nearby. This one is nice. We can drive around together. It would be so cool! No need, just this one. Su Wanwan asked Zhou Teng, Uncle Zhou, what do you think? As long as you like it, Miss. After choosing the car and reporting to Su Xueqin, the two headed straight to the World Trade Skywalk. Su Wanwan didnt bring any luggage on her trip back to China. Although she had already asked her friends in Los Angeles to send her stuff back, the school was going to start in September, and the seasons were changing. She needed to buy some new clothes. They went into a boutique. Su Wanwan selected clothes here, and Mo Weiyi ran directly to buy gifts. She came back soon, Here, your wedding gift. That was quick? Su Wanwan took the bag, wanting to open it Dont! Mo Weiyi firmly covered the opening of the bag, Wait for your husband Huo toe back before you see it. Su Wanwan didnt think much of it and put the bag on one side. Im going to try this dress. Okay. ** As soon as Su Wanwan walked into the fitting room, she heard a woman making a call in the next room. At first, she didnt pay attention, but the voice was incredibly shrill and didnt consider that someone could hear her. How long has it been since youst saw me? Oh, I dont care, I want you toe over. No way, youre so close. If you donte to see me again, Im not leaving. Goosebumps covered Su Wanwans skin, she raised her hand to knock on the partition. The next room fell silent, but not for long Right, then you need toe quickly. Ille with you to the hospital to change your bandage. Su Wanwan: After changing her clothes, she pushed the door open and walked out. Then a dramatic scene unfolded. The woman who was making the call had alreadye out of the next room. Coincidentally, she was wearing the exact same yellow dress as Su Wanwan was. A sales girl was enthusiastically promoting the dress, Miss, this dress really looks good on you. Standing in front of the mirror, Su Wanwan raised her chin, then lifted her dress and did an elegant twirl. The softly flowing chiffon fell gently back to her ankles, the girl reflected in the mirror had delicate features, a graceful figure, a fresh and refined temperament. At first nce, she was inexpressibly beautiful. Su Wanwan was very satisfied, I think it looks pretty good on me too. Sure enough, that woman became angry upon hearing this, andshed out at the salesgirl, Tell me, who does this dress look better on, me or her? As the saying goes, Its not embarrassing to wear the same outfit, only if you are ugly. Both were customers, the salesgirl stuttered, not knowing how to handle the situation. Miss Li, youve been filming too muchtely and your face is waxen from staying upte. This dress is yellow as well, it doesnt suit you. Mo Weiyis voice suddenly came over.. Chapter 38 - 38: 038, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road Chapter 38: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion For some strange reason, the haughty woman from before wilted in an instant. She shot Su Wanwan a venomous re, then stormed into the fitting room. Not long after, she emerged in her own clothes, and spitefully tossed the dress at the attendant. Its awful, I dont want it! she snapped. ming your looks on the clothes now, Miss Lai? Maybe all thosete nights have affected your vision too, Su Wanwan remarked. Miss Lais face had turned an ugly shade, but she said nothing. She picked up her bag and stormed off. Why does she seem so scared of you? Of course, shes scared of me. Mo Weiyiughed slyly. Because I have something on her. * * After checking out, the two wandered into the store next door. When they emerged, they encountered the same woman in the hall. This time, there was a tall man with her. She clung tightly to his arm, almost pressing her entire body against him, oblivious to the strange looks they were drawing. Its a small world. No sooner had Mo Weiyi spoken than the couple spun around to face them. Damn it, Su Wanwan! Yet again, its you, you wretched girl! Oh great, it was Huo Zhexi. Su Wanwan thought, yep, its a scandalously small world indeed. The woman looked shocked. Zhexi, you know her? Zhexi? Su Wanwan felt a wave of nausea. Of course, I do. The cut on my head? Its from a wine bottle this damn girl hit me with! Huo Zhexi said, his eyes burning with rage at Su Wanwan. In public, without the protection of his family, he didnt bother to hide his anger and disgust. The woman quickly joined in, Such a violent girl! How dare she harm our Zhexi! Shes such a shrew! No wonder shes good friends with Mo Weiyi. Of course, she didnt dare voice thest thought, keeping her resentment to herself. Mo Weiyi, however, was quick to retort. Wanwan, I remember you telling me that the third young master of the Huo family and Xing Yuyun were close friends. Seems like they really are they not only like to wear the same pants, but they also go after the same type of woman. I wonder if they also share the same hole when they y golf? Su Wanwan had to suppress herughter. So this woman had a thing with Xing Yuyun too? Theres so much she didnt know. Mo Weiyi, what nonsense are you talking about! The woman blushed uncontrobly, her expression frantic. Nonsense? Mo Weiyis smirk was shamelessly amused. I still have copies of those photos of you and Xing Yuyun fromst time. Should I send a copy to your dear Zhexi as well? Its all uncensored full HD, are you sure you want this? Huo Zhexis handsome face was now the color of coal. This Lai Na was a newly rising starlet he had met at a party not long ago. Recently, she had been relentlessly pursuing him, even somehow got ahold of his phone number. As he happened to be in the area today, he figured hed call her over. Little did he know He jerked his arm away from her. You tramp! Zhexi, let me exin. Xing and I we Oh, you just slept together, thats all, Mo Weiyi interjected. Mo Weiyi, dont push me too far! Furious as Lai Na was, she dared not offend Mo Weiyi, considering the background of the Mo Family. Presently, onlookers were makingments and taking photos. Their murmurs filled the air: Did that man get cheated on? More than that. He was betrayed by his own close friend. Wow, he likes his friends leftovers. Quite an exotic taste! What do you know? Young people nowadays like to mix things up; this is the trend Huo Zhexi was livid and humiliated. He loved partying and having fun, but he cared about his reputation too. He wasnt one to take anything that came his way. With that, he raised his hand and pped her. You damn whore! A public fight? Now thats entertainment! The spectators got more excited. Su Wanwan, uninterested in their melodrama, tugged at Mo Weiyis sleeve and turned to leave. Come on, lets go upstairs. Sure. * * After finally shaking off Lai Na, Huo Zhexi drove himself to the hospital to get his bandages changed. But as he was rounding a corner at the elevator, he bumped into someone. With his already foul mood, he exploded in an instant. Are you fucking blind! What, got a funeral to attend? Su Yanyans face flushed with embarrassment. It was clearly him who had run into her, and yet he had the audacity to throw a fit. But this man was Huo Zhexi, third heir to the Huo Family, and a famous spoiled brat in Nancheng. She dared not offend him. Instead, she simply picked up her fallen report, spun around, and was about to leave Stop! Huo Zhexi grabbed her arm. Apologize! It was one thing for that Su Wanwan girl to piss him off; she had the protection of the Huo Family and Huo Jingshen, with enemies too powerful to take on. But this innocent-looking Su Yanyan daring to defy him too? Did everyone think he, Huo Zhexi, was an easy target? With that thought, he snatched the papers from her hand. Give it back! Su Yanyan shouted. Huo Zhexi nced down. 39 days pregnant? Holy shit. Before he could react, Su Yanyan snatched the report back and sprinted away. Once she was back in her car, she immediately called Jiang Yi. Mom, Ive got the report. Im going to the Xing residence now. With the proof of her pregnancy, even if Xing Yuyun wanted to call off the engagement, the elders of the Xing Family would never agree. But this time, what she wanted was more than just an engagementit was To get married immediately! ** That evening, Su Xueqin called Su Wanwan, asking her toe home.. Chapter 39 - 39: 039, The Jerk Gets Beaten Up Chapter 39: The Jerk Gets Beaten Up Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Wanwan initially didnt want to go back, but because of Su Xueqin, she had no choice but to return. That night she hailed a taxi. When she got off at the entrance, she didnt notice a caring behind her. Isnt that Wanwan? In the car, the elder Mr. Xing, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at the sound. Why is sheing by taxi? Huo Qinyu seemed to be talking to herself, Didnt she and Ashen get their marriage certificate? She could have at least arranged a driver Two ck Audis slowly drove into the gate, passed by Su Wanwan, and finally drove into the garage. Su Wanwan nced at them and then walked into the vi. In the living room, Su Xueqin was sitting in a wheelchair reading a book. He was dressed more formally today, which made him look much better. Grandfather. When Su Xueqin saw his granddaughter, he smiled happily, Wanwan is here. The study door opened quickly and a family of three came out one after the other. When he saw Su Wanwan, Su Yuntangs expression clearly changed, and he was very impatient. Why are you back suddenly? Su Wanwan deliberately said, Grandpa, Ive said it before that some people dont wee me back to this house. Next time, I dont think Ille back. Su Yuntang was instantly enraged, his face turned red, and he stared at her. Nonsense, what are you saying! Smack! Louder than his voice was the sound of Su Xueqin throwing his book down, This is my house. Wanwan is here because I asked her toe. Anyone who has a problem with that can get the hell out! Known for his indiscreet remarks, this made Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan looked upset, while Su Wanwanughed heartily. She found a spot near Su Xueqin, sat down, and watched the show. Su Yuntang red at her and said in a low voice, Dad, the elders from the Xing family will be here soon If you care that much about losing face, then get out of here! Dad Before Su Yuntang could say anything more, a servant announced, Sir, the Xing family has arrived. Bring the guests in. At Su Xueqinsmand, Su Yuntang had no choice but toply no matter how upset he was. After Su Yuntang had left, Su Xueqin said quietly, Dont speak during the meeting. Ill deal with this for you. Su Wanwan: Su Yanyan at the side clenched her fists tightly, and then slowly let go. ** Soon, the senior Mr. Xing was the first to step into the living room. He was dressed in a ck cloak, leaning on a cane with a dragon head. Although he was almost 80 years old, he was tall with a piercing gaze. His tight facial features looked particrly stern. Behind him in order were Mrs. Xing, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu, while Xing Yuyun was at the end. Su Wanwan nced casually and noticed a band-aid on Xing Yuyuns face stained with blood, as if he had been beaten. When their eyes met, she immediately looked away. If before, she thought he was Just a jerk who couldnt control his lower body, now it seemed that he was a man who casually slept with female celebrities and even yed a game of swapping bed partners with his friends Haha, indeed all men are swines! After brief pleasantries, Elder Mr. Xing went straight to the point, Today I specifically came to apologize to my inws. Ive been living in the suburbs and didnt realize that my unfilial grandson had done so many wrongdoings. He has hurt the feelings of the inws and tarnished the reputation of the Xing Family. With that, he turned to Xing Yuyun, Yuyun, do you know where you went wrong? Xing Yuyun did not say anything. Elder Mr. Xings face darkened, and he swung the cane in his hand and hit Xing Yuyuns back with a bang. It was so sudden that even Su Wanwan was taken aback. Huo Qinyu was worried about her son and couldnt help but intervene, Dad, you already disciplined Yuyun this afternoon In the afternoon, I was executing familyw. Now, Im teaching him how to be a human being. Elder Mr. Xing was stern. He then turned to Xing Yuyun, Tell me, do you understand what you did wrong? Xing Yuyun remained silent, gritting his teeth. He was sweating coldly from the pain of the stick that had justnded on his forehead. Su Wanwan didnt have much contact with the Xing family. She only knew that the old Xing lord was a retired general from the army, and that he had delivered that blow with no restraint. Most people would struggle to endure it. She looked over at Su Xueqin and saw him unfazed before- With a bang, another cane came crashing down. The crowd reacted in various ways, but no one dared to step forward and intervene. The caning continued for over a dozen blows- To the point where Xing Yuyun couldnt help but grunt in pain- Enough. Finally,dy Xing could not bear it any more, Any more and youll murder the man. Heh, Su Xueqin coldly snorted twice, Young people nowadays cant take a few hits. Just twenty blows and were talking about losing a life? Su Wanwan: The old lord Xing took the opportunity to withdraw his cane, catching his breath before announcing, Today, here, I will make things clear on behalf of the Xing family. Under all the watchful eyes, Xing Guozhi presented a document. This is a property in the Sanluo Garden, consider it as apensation to Wanwan. Su Wanwan was taken aback. The others were also surprised. Earlier this afternoon, Xing Yuyun had formally proposed to break the engagement with Su Yanyan to the seniors of the Xing family. This led to the old lords angry response of smashing a teapot on his face, bloodying his face And, now they came to the Su household not for Su Yanyans sake? Just as Su Yanyan was about to lose her patience, the old lord spoke again, On the 20th, our Xing family will hold a wedding ceremony for Yuyun and Yanyan. After that, Yanyan will be the legitimate daughter-inw of our Xing family. After employing a bitter trick and making a generous sacrifice, the Xing family managed to save face with sincerity. Upon spotting this, Su Xueqin raised his eyebrows and became quiet. So, when Huo Qinyu took his son to the guest room to check on his wounds, Jiang Yi and Lady Xing had already started discussing the details of the wedding. The living room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, as if the incident of corporal punishment had never happened. Five minutester, Su Wanwan found an excuse to go upstairs. ** The bedroom had been tidied up really well by the servants. Just as Su Wanwan was seated on the sofa and ncing at her social media feed, her phone rang. The call was from an unfamiliar local number. Hello? Is this Wanwan? This is grandma. Holy cow, its actually Old Lady Huo! Hello, grandma. Su Wanwan quickly replied in a sweet tone. Old Lady Huo seemed very pleased, Wanwan, are you free tomorrow? What can I do for you, grandma? I just called Ashen. He said it will take a few more days for him to finish his matters ande back. The vi in Imperial Court is too big. Its not safe for you to live there alone. Old Lady Huo gave a bunch of reasons and finally asked, How abouting back home for dinner tomorrow? Ok.. Fantastic, Ill send the driver to pick you up tomorrow morning. By the way, add me on WeChat, the number is this phone number. okay. Su Wanwan thought to herself, wow, the olddy is really trendy, she even uses WeChat. After hanging up, she saved the number in her contacts, then added it on WeChat. Upon seeing her name, Su Wanwan almost burst intoughter. Old Lady Huos WeChat user was unexpectedly named Fu Ying Girl Never Gives Up. Su Wanwan. The sudden voice instantly ruined Su Wanwans good mood. She looked up, I find it fascinating how thick some peoples skin can be.. Didnt your mother ever teach you to knock before entering someone elses room? Chapter 40 - 40: 040, Confrontation Chapter 40: Confrontation Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You were acting so good and nice downstairs just now, but now your true nature is revealed, huh? Su Wanwan, you really do know how to be two-faced. The thing Su Yanyan hated most about Su Wanwan was this. But Su Xueqin had a taste for this kind of behavior! Every time she saw Su Wanwan acting cute and charming in front of Su Xueqin, it made her feel like throwing up! Especially today. It was clear that Master Xing hade to take her side, but for the sake of Su Xueqins face, she had to give Su Wanwan a house aspensation. Su Wanwan did not bother to deal with her, and got up to leave. Do you know why it was changed to a wedding feast? Su Yanyan stopped her with her hand, her face and tone filled with smugness, Because, I am already carrying Xing Yuyuns child. What does it have to do with me whos child youre carrying? Su Wanwan had a casual attitude, which was extremely irritating in Su Yanyans eyes. Su Wanwan, Im telling you, dont be too cocky! You were dumped by Xing Yuyun and are nothing but a yed out shoe. You were engaged for two years, then Xing Yuyun dumped you, and Huo Jingshen picked you up. He has quite the spirit, actually marrying a woman his cousin has yed with. I wonder, does the elders of the Huo family know about this p! Su Wanwan pped her directly, Your mouth is so dirty, did you not brush after taking a dump? Su Yanyan was so angry she gritted her teeth, and wanted to fight back, but as soon as she lifted her hand, it was caught by Su Wanwans wrist. How could a delicate sheltered young woman ever beat a rougned up tomboy who saw fighting as a daily routine? Su Yanyan was in so much pain she was tearful, and could only vent her anger with words, Ive checked it out, that Huo Jingshen is already thirty years old, he just sees you as a ything. As for getting married, even the Huo family didnt send anyone to propose. An old wealthy man raising a young girl as a pet, do you really think that hes marrying you because he likes you? Youre going tough your teeth off. Whether Huo Jingshen likes me or not is none of your business, but I can assure you that Xing Yuyun does not like you. In the face of Su Yanyans abrupt change of expression, Su Wanwan curled up her lips and continued to speak, Furthermore, dont think that Master Xing is backing you up, he reprimanded Xing Yuyun just because he cant lose face. Dont ever think that by marrying Xing Yuyun, you can sit back and enjoy the glory and wealth. That kind of trashy man who cant keep half of his body to himself can be on you, he can be on other women, too. When the dayes that the mistresses knocking at his door demanding responsibility, will Master Xing step in and take the responsibility like he did today? ** Just when Su Wanwan reached the first floor, she heard the sound of things being smashed upstairs. Whats going on? Jiang Yi, who was in the living room, stood up in surprise. Under everyones watchful gaze, Su Wanwan smiled and said, Its okay, theres just a cockroach upstairs. Disgusting to the point of making you lose your appetite. Grandpa, Im not having dinner, Im going home. After leaving the Su family, Su Wanwan did not call a car and walked along the road to the outside of the neighborhood. Perhaps because it was too quiet around her, unexpectedly, she thought of what Su Yanyan had just said. An old rich man keeping a young girl as a pet for fun? Her phone suddenly rang. It was Su Wanwan who picked it up. Damn, it was from Y Country. Could it be such a coincidence? Just as she was thinking about Huo Jingshen, Huo Jingshen called. As her phone continued to ring, Su Wanwan could only answer, Hello? Why did it take so long to answer? The mans deep voice was especially attractive on the phone. In Mo Weiyis words, it sounded so good that it could get you pregnant. Su Wanwan asked, Whats up? I need a reason to call my wife? Um He really did not need a reason. Did my grandma call you? She did. Hmm. Huo Jingshen said, Ill be back in Nancheng on Sunday. I know. Youe and pick me up. For some reason, Su Wanwan said, I dont have a drivers license, its inconvenient. The phone was quiet, then, Then Ill hang up first. With that said, the phone was quickly hung up. Uh. Su Wanwan was stunned, was this old man angry? ** In the next few days, everything was calm. Su Wanwan had enrolled in a driving school, spent the day there learning to drive, and at night, sheid back in the vi watching movies. asionally , she would go to the X district mansion to mooch a meal, or hang out with Mo Weiyi. The Su family was busy arranging Su Yanyans wedding, and no one came to bother her. Life was quite pleasant. On Saturday night, she received a WeChat message from a friend in Los Angeles saying that her luggage would be forwarded to the country the next day, and she needed to go to the airport to pick it up.. Chapter 41 - 41: 041, a family of three Chapter 41: a family of three Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan had to take time off from the driving school on Sunday because they had ss. Coach Pan Hui agreed readily, but quickly followed up with a message: Going on a date with your boyfriend? Su Wanwan replied: No. Oh. The next day, she arrived at the airport quite early. Unexpectedly, the flight was dyed, and she waited from morning till noon, until almost two in the afternoon when the flight from Los Angeles finallynded. Su Wanwan quickly got up when she heard the broadcast, but something hit her from behind as she turned around. Hiss! Im sorry, Im sorry. Did I hurt you? a gentle womans voice said. Sweat was about to break out on Su Wanwans forehead from the pain. She was wearing the same denim shorts she always wore, and most of her leg was exposed. She didnt need to look to know that her ankle had a scrape. But when she saw the owner of the voice Im fine. Im sorry. I didnt notice you standing up just now. Im so sorry. The woman kept apologising. After finishing, she bent down to look at the injury. It seems a bit scrapped, and I am truly sorry. Im in a hurry, so how about giving me your card, and Ill reimburse all the medical expensester. A ssically beautiful woman, soft-spoken, and her eyes filled with sincere apologies, was entirely reminiscent of the romantic female protagonist in a love movie. Even women would not be able to resist her charm, let alone men. Hence, Su Wanwan did not feel like ming her. Thats not necessary. Im in a hurry, too. She left immediately after speaking. She had just taken a few steps when she heard thedys voice, Jingshen! Su Wanwan did a double-take and indeed saw a familiar figure approaching. In his usual white shirt and ck pants, Huo Jingshen looked tall and elegant, pushing a trolley. Despite several foreigners around, he was quite eye-catching in the crowd. Su Wanwan felt bewildered. She had been thinking about whether to send him a message to tell him about her being at the airport today. Not sending might seem pretentious considering they were married. But sending might appear deliberate because the flight from Los Angeles was due in the morning. But she never imagined that they would meet this way: A beautiful woman was here to pick him up, and she, his wife, coincidentally bumped into them! Cool. In a few short seconds, Su Wanwan hade up with countless ways to greet him in her mind. But as he suddenly looked over here, she chickened out and squatted down quickly. ** On the other hand, Huo Jingshen furrowed his brows slightly. Why did he feel like the figure seemed familiar Jingshen! Turning his gaze back, Huo Jingshen greeted the woman who was running towards them and said, Your mom is here. Shes not my mom. Huo Jingshen: At his feet stood a five-year-old boy with arge ck backpack, wearing a red T-shirt and small jeans. His cute, stubborn little face was grimy and bruised. He looked like he had run away from home. Xiu Xin ran over, squatted down and began to lecture: Ziyang, you scared me so much. How could you sneak onto the ne alone? Youre only five years old, a child. Its dangerous to go out alone, do you understand? Fu Ziyang looked at her calmly but didnt say a word. Jingshen, I cant thank you enough. I almost had a heart attack when Xihan told me. Fortunately, you found him. Xiu Xin sighed and stood up. Ill take him back to the hotel now I want to go home with Uncle Huo. Fu Ziyang said, surprising both adults. Xiu Xin immediately began lecturing again, Ziyang, you cant do this. Your father is already angry because you stowed away on the airne. You cant bother Uncle Huo. Children should be sensible Uncle Huo, would I be a bother to you? Fu Ziyang raised his little head to ask Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow at the question. Before he had a chance to respond, the little boy spoke again, Then Ill go to the hotel alone. ** Hidden behind a chair, Su Wanwan peeked out and tried hard to listen to their conversation. Not until the family of three left the hall did she get up and remember she had left her luggage behind. Then her phone rang. Seeing Huo Jingshen disyed on the screen, Su Wanwan pursed her lips and turned off the phone! ** By the time she had collected her luggage, hailed a taxi, and returned to the Imperial Court, it was over seven in the evening. It was dark outside and Su Wanwan, dragging her heavy suitcase, gazed at the brightly lit vi. She would be lying if she said she wasnt feeling a bit unsettled. Taking a deep breath, she walked over and pushed open the front door. And then she locked eyes with four beady eyes staring back at her. On the living room floor sat arge German Shepherd and an adorable little boy. Overwhelmed by surprise, Su Wanwan stood frozen, even forgetting to avoid her worst fear: the dog. The only thought in her mind was: Damn it! Is there no justice in the world! This old man actually brought his bastard son home! And maybe even that woman! Chapter 42 - 42: 042, Fu Ziyang Chapter 42: Fu Ziyang Trantor: 549690339 Woofwoof! KO barked, standing up from the floor. Su Wanwan shivered subconsciously. KO. Fu Ziyang reached out his small hand and touched KOs head. In an instant, the wolf-like dog that was about to pounce went back to his docile state. Su Wanwan suddenly felt defeated. Damn it! Even a dog listens to this bastard so obediently. Madam, are you back? Aunt Liu walked out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup. Su Wanwan felt a wave of sadness in her heart. Damn! Even Aunt Liu specially worked overtime to cook for this family of three. She used to return home to take care of her grandchild right after dinner at six oclock these past few days. A series of footstepster, Huo Jingshen appeared in her resentful gaze. He was still wearing the same outfit he wore at the airport, only his sleeves were rolled up, the top three buttons of his cor were unbuttoned. He immediately asked, Where did you go? Why didnt you answer your phone? It was even turned off? Su Wanwan stayed silent. Huo Jingshen looked at his little wife whose face was puffing up with anger, took the suitcase from her, and then reached for her hand. To his surprise, Su Wanwan forcefully withdrew her hand, and looked at the man with an unaffected face, bursting out two words: Absolutely shameless! Huo Jingshen: Ziyang tilted his little head, holding the dog and watching the show. Tell me, where is that woman? Su Wanwan said, rushing into the living room. You went to the airport. Huo Jingshen confirmed. The person she saw at the airport mustve been her. Thats right, I saw her. Su Wanwan turned around, pointing at the adorable little boy, Tell me, where is his mother? Where did you hide the mistress? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, Hes not my son. Su Wanwan scoffed, Who do you think youre fooling? He looks so much like you! If hes not your son, is he your nephew or something? Speaking without a heart, but the listener interprets with interest. Huo Jingshen looked at her, a fleeting emotion shed in his eyes, then he exined, His name is Fu Ziyang, the son of a friend of mine. He ran away from home and hopped on a ne alone today. Luckily, it was the day I was returning to China, so I brought him back with me. Su Wanwan was clearly not buying his bullshit. Even Fu Ziyangs name reeked of a romantic male protagonist. This was clearly an attempt to make fun of her due to her young age. As for that woman, shes here in China for her world tour. Shes staying in a hotel, not here. Su Wanwan scoffed a couple of more times, still not believing him. Huo Jingshen simply took out his cell phone, This is his fathers number. Do you want me to make an international call so you can ask him yourself? Seeing Su Wanwan still not reacting, he directly dialed the number. Soon, a pleasant male bass voice echoed through the speaker, Has my son caused more trouble for you? Su Wanwan: No problem, its just my wife had a misunderstanding. After finishing, Huo Jingshen hung up. He pushed the luggage to a corner of the living room and sat down by the coffee table, Come here. What for? Su Wanwan was on guard. There was a first aid kit on the coffee table, and Huo Jingshen asked, Why is your leg bleeding? Su Wanwan looked down and indeed, arge clot of dry blood was on her ankle. Come here. Huo Jingshen repeated hismand. Su Wanwan frowned and reluctantly walked over. Once close, Huo Jingshen reached out and lifted her leg, allowing her to sit next to him while cing her foot on hisp. As soon as the alcohol touched her wound, Su Wanwan nearly exploded with tears of pain. Damn it, be gentle Ah! It hurts, it hurts Damn Easy Cant you be a little gentler? Are you this afraid of pain? Huo Jingshen gave her a nce. The young girls eyebrows knitted tightly together as she bit her lip hard. All this pain just from a scrape? Huo Jingshen was slightly worried about the soundproofing of the room, especially now when there was an unexpected five-year-old third wheel. Subconsciously, he looked at the boy and the dog, contemting whether he should send this little guy back to Y country on a flight tomorrow As if they could read minds, Fu Ziyang suddenly spoke, his small mouth uttering word by word: I want to stay here and look for my mother. Huo Jingshen: * * * Finally having tended to the wound, Su Wanwan looked at the bandage on her ankle and pouted. Can she still go to driving school tomorrow? She had to take another leave Dont wear short pants like these again in the future. Huo Jingshen had moreints. Su Wanwan humphed, getting up to head to the dining room, Im starving, I need food. Huo Jingshen watched her. His darken gaze. These jeans really are too short! Chapter 43 - 43: 043, Double-faced Chapter 43: Double-faced Trantor: 549690339 , The long dining table covered with a white tablecloth had already been filled with a variety of dishes. Huo Jingshen, who doesnt talk much to begin with, didnt know what to say. Even Fu Ziyang, who usually is a chatterbox, was also quiet for a change. The little guy was incrediblyposed and his eating manners were very elegant. Even though it was just a simple home-cooked meal, he ate it with a feeling of enjoying a royal banquet, just like Huo Jingshen. After he finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks. His bowl was clean, not a grain of rice was left. His manners were impable. Uncle Huo, Im full. Ill go do my homework now. Mmm. When Fu Ziyang really started doing his homework, Su Wanwan couldnt help asking, Are you sure he is not your son? He really looked a lot like Huo Jingshen! Even though childrens faces are chubby and their features are beautiful but not fully developed, she still felt an uncanny simrity between the two. Especially the calm, self-sufficient demeanor he put on at such a young age, even his taciturn nature was very much like Huo Jingshens. Huo Jingshen gave her a nonchnt look and said, I am not old enough to be his father. What a shameless person! A thirty-year-old man calling others old? Su Wanwan pouted but only vented her anger inwardly. After dinner, Huo Jingshen picked up his car keys, Til go get Ziyang some necessities. Okay. Su Wanwan didnt think too much about it and started ying games on her phone. Not long after Huo Jingshen left, Aunt Liu also finished cleaning up and left. Therge living room was suddenly very quiet. Suddenly. Auntie Su. Su Wanwan raised her head and made eye contact with Fu Ziyang, Uh are you calling me? The little guy nodded and then asked, Auntie Su, do you like to chase after stars? Su Wanwan: A five-year-old child knows about chasing stars? No, I dont. Fu Ziyang seemed a bit disappointed with her answer, but then he quickly asked again, Then do you know who the prettiest female star is now? Su Wanwan frowned. Who is the prettiest female star in China? Fan Bingbing? Dilraba Dilmurat? Gulnazar? Yang Chaoyue? Why are you asking this? She thought this young boy was a bit strange. Isnt he too young to start having feelings for the opposite sex? Fu Ziyang said, Dad says that mom is a female star. I am so handsome, so mom must be the prettiest female star. So I came to Nancheng to find her. Su Wanwan was speechless. But looking at the little boys earnest expression, she did not have the heart to dampen his enthusiasm for finding his mother. So she said, Well, your dad must be really handsome too then, right? HeS okay. After saying that, Fu Ziyangs interest seemed to wane and he went back to doing his homework. Not long after, Huo Jingshen came back. He ced the shopping bags on the coffee table, and automatically took out a lighter and a cigarette. Realizing there was a child in the house, he quickly went to the study room. Meanwhile Fu Ziyang had finished his homework and packed his backpack conscientiously, Auntie Su, Im a bit sleepy, I want to go upstairs to shower and sleep. Su Wanwan, Alright. She took the shopping bag from the coffee table and helped him get the small slippers, small bath towel, childrens shower gel Is this also for me? Fu Ziyang stared at her with innocent eyes, holding a red box What the hell! Su Wanwan felt her head explode. She quickly snatched the box and stashed it into her pocket, This is not for you! Okay. Fu Ziyang pursed his lips and thought to himself, the thing must be something that Uncle Huo bought for Auntie Su. He grabbed his big backpack and a bunch of toiletries and went upstairs. Su Wanwan sat there, cursing in her heart: Pervert! Such a shameless man! Rushing back and buying that kind of stuff right away, utterly disgraceful! The door to the study room opened with a creak and the disgraceful Huo Jingshen came out. He had one hand in his suit pocket, a soft expression on his face, and his shirt was still spotless after a whole day. He looked mature, restrained, and politely poised. Who would have thought that he was constantly thinking about doing such a thing? Su Wanwan red at him, feeling that she had been too naive. On the surface, he has a cold and serious face, but in reality, he is just a standing beast! And of the worst kind, two-faced! Hmph! She stood up abruptly and went upstairs. Huo Jingshen frowned, not knowing why she was upset again. Didnt he exin it all just now? Having a young wife is indeed troublesome, one minute its sunny weather, the next its raining. Looking at the time, it was already close to to in the evening, hmm, it was time to prepare for some business. He went over to pick up the shopping bag, but suddenly realized Where was one box? Chapter 44 - 44: 044, Mysterious Gift Chapter 44: Mysterious Gift Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan had just reached the upstairs when she received a call from Mo Weiyi, asking if Huo Jingshen had returned to the country. Hes back. Really? Dont forget the mysterious wedding gift I gave you. Remember to unwrap it, you must unwrap it. Mo Weiyi said excitedly and then hung up the phone. Su Wanwan had to rummage through her things to find the bag. When she opened it, she found a box inside? Could it be a doll? Su Wanwan took out the box and was about to unwrap it when she heard a mans footsteps from outside. After a sudden panic attack, she hurriedly got up and ran to the bathroom. So when Huo Jingshen entered the bedroom, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, and the bathroom door was tightly closed. * * * Washing her face, applying a face mask, taking a bath, taking a shower Dawdling, intentionally dying time, until her door was finally knocked. Are you done bathing? It was Huo Jingshens voice. Maybe because she saw that box earlier, Su Wanwan felt like he was the big bad wolf persuading Little Red Riding Hood to open the door! She closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and said, Im done. After all, they were already married, they were husband and wife, and sooner orter, they would have to face that issue! Theres a saying. When youre about to be that, if you cant resist, then go enjoy it! After a series of psychological preparations and self-constion, Su Wanwan made her decision with a resigned air. However, when she prepared to go out and valiantly make a sacrifice, she realized She had forgotten to bring her pajamas! While she was still agonising, her door was knocked again. This time, it wasnt just a knock or two, it was continuous, loud, and fast Clearly, someone was getting impatient. Su Wanwan was annoyed, and had no choice but to say, I forgot to bring my pajamas, can you bring them to me? Theyre in the closet. There was a silence from the outside, then the mans deep voice answered, Okay. Su Wanwan stood behind the door, waiting for the knock to sound again. She immediately opened a small crack in the door, stretched out her hand to grab the thing and quickly pulled it back, then she closed the door again. Perfect! However, when she finally saw what she was holding in her hands as pajamas, Su Wanwan couldnt help but twitch her mouth corners, and she almost broke down. MMP (Curses in Chinese). She asked him to fetch her pajamas, what on earth was this thing he brought? What a stinky man! What did he take her for? Su Wanwan could no longer contain herself, she tossed the thing into the trash can, opened the door and charged out. Huo! Jing! Shen! You! Are! A! Bastard! When she got to him, the room was spinning and before she could react, she was lifted up. Huo Jingshen looked down at his little wife, why didnt you change into your pajamas? Go change yourself! Are you shy? Huo Jingshen raised his handsome eyebrows, Since you bought it yourself, why not wear it? Who said I bought it? Su Wanwan was fuming, It was clearly you you What about me? Huo Jingshen said, already carrying her back. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Su Wanwan immediately became extremely nervous. She clenched her fists and eximed in fear and panic, I dont want to have a baby! Have a baby? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. I get it. So, he pulled open the drawer of the bedside cab, letting her see. Su Wanwans eyes widened in shock. My god! What the hell is this? Hadnt she just thrown that box of things into the trash earlier? Why were there more? Good thing we have a telepathic bond, my darling. I have already prepared well in advance, Huo Jingshens lips curved up in a smirk. Su Wanwan: Telepathic bond my ass! Help! Ahhhhhh! Chapter 45 - 45: 045, Mrs. Huo wants a divorce Chapter 45: Mrs. Huo wants a divorce Trantor: 549690339 The next day. When Su Wanwan opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. Hiss! With a slight move, she saw stars and felt a fatal pain, as if her whole body was copsing The room door suddenly opened and a certain culprit walked in from outside. He had already washed and dressed in a neatly ironed white shirt and ck trousers, making him look refreshed and elegant. Su Wanwany there staring at him like a seriously ill patient, her teeth itching with hatred. Huo Jingshen, looking at his little wife who had wrapped herself like a dumpling, asked, Whats wrong? His voice was so gentle and considerate. What absolute hypocrisy! He walked over, extended a finger, but before he could touch Su Wanwans face, his hand was smacked away. As a result of her vigorous action, she let out a muffled groan, propped herself up with her hand, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes from the pain. Is it that serious? Huo Jingshens brows furrowed instantly. How can it not be serious! Su Wanwan almost roared, Its all your fault! I know. If you know, why did you still treat me like that! Are you even human! Im sorry. Does sorry help! The more Su Wanwan spoke, the more she felt like crying. In her whole life, her twenty years, she had never felt so wronged! Huo Jingshen watched her, his expression subtly changing for a moment. After a while, he slowly began to speak, Im sorry, I didnt know it was your first Shut up! Huo Jingshen: Was she really that shy? Just then, Su Wanwans small face suddenly turned red, then white. Unable to bear it anymore, she pouted her lips and let out a sob. Huo Jingshen once again: At that moment, Su Wanwan really regretted it. What provocation? What revenge? What marriage? What kind of man did she marry? She felt she was a fool who had brought bad luck upon herself! Just because she wanted to get revenge on those scumbags, she impulsively married a man she didnt know at all. And now, she found out that appearances were deceiving! Shed lost both the battle and the general! Now she felt that her marital life was nothing but darkness, the future was uncertain, and she wanted a divorce Huo Jingshen picked up a tissue from the side, trying to help her wipe her tears. But before he could touch her face, he was shoved away. Get away! I dont need your fake kindness! Huo Jingshen could only console her, Yes, its my fault. He admitted, he was indeed a bit reckless. * * Huo Jingshen calmly returned to the ground floor alone. Because there were children at home these past few days, Aunt Liu came to work two hours early to prepare breakfast. Fu Ziyang looked behind him and asked in a childish voice, Uncle Huo, wheres Auntie? Well eat first. Is Auntie still in bed? Fu Ziyang blinked his cute big eyes, Did she get too tired yesterday? Yes. Huo Jingshen picked up his coffee without changing his expression, Let her rest properly. Aunt Liu at the side: cough, cough, cough. ** As a result of kicking Huo Jingshen out, Su Wanwan ended up hurting herself because she was too forceful. Now when she walked, she felt like she was disabled. She limped into the bathroom and took a hot bath, feeling slightly better. When she returned to the bedroom. She looked at the woman in the mirror, her eyes swollen from crying, and thinking about what Huo Jingshen had said earlier, her heart ached and she nearly shed tears. The tears shed shed from yesterday till now were more than what shed cried in the past 10 years! The phone suddenly rang, Su Wanwan answered it grimly, Hello. Hows it going, Baby Wanwan, hows the battle going haha Mo Weiyi wasughing heartlessly on the other side of the call. Su Wanwan sniffled, not wanting to talk at all. Why arent you speaking? Was it unsessful? Did your Mr. Huo not like the gift I gave? Thats not possible, I specially chose pink, and its all thetest trend. Su Wanwan was taken aback, remembering the pajamas fromst night. Did you send that nightie? Yes, dont all straight men have a thing for pink? Xiaobai really likes it when I wear pink clothes. Dont tell me Mr. Huo doesnt like it. Does he like ck? Or white? Su Wanwan: Chapter 46 - 46: 046, Encounter with Trash Chapter 46: Encounter with Trash Trantor: 549690339 So, your husband Mr. Huo likes some spicy stuff, huh? Next time, Ill send him a maid outfit, the one with bare-ckce-suspender-stockings. You can role-y with him Su Wanwan couldnt take it anymore. Ive got something to do; Im hanging up. She had barely put down her phone when it rang again. It was Mrs. Huo, asking where she was. It was already ten in the morning, but she didnt say she wasing to the mansion today, did she? Grandma, I Im a bit busy today The phone was suddenly snatched away. Holding her phone, Huo Jingshen adopted a rather gentlemanly demeanor, speaking calmly, Grandma, welle overter. Dont worry, Wanwan just got up. She might be a little grumpy. Su Wanwan closed her eyes. Then red fiercely at him. After hanging up, Huo Jingshen saw his little wife ring at him full of hatred. Im grumpy? Huo Jingshen: Is it me whos grumpy, or are you causing all the trouble without any clue? Huo Jingshen once again: Go yourself! Im not going! Be good. Huo Jingshen felt as if he was coaxing a child, I havent been back for a week. Grandma also has something to tell you. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered to respond. She got up, staggered towards the sofa, copsed onto it, and began ying a game on her mobile phone. There had been so many things happening recently, she hadnt had time to y ranked matches in her game, and had automatically lost a few stars Huo Jingshen rubbed his forehead and, after a few seconds, turned to leave. ** As soon as she finished ying a match, Mrs. Huos call came in again. Wanwan, Ashen told me that youre not feeling well and didnt want toe over for dinner. Tell Grandma the truth, whats wrong, is it because that boy upset you? This shameless liar How was she supposed to exin this? Su Wanwan cursed him silently once again. Ashen is like that, cold, doesnt talk much, is often inconsiderate. Please bear with him. Mrs. Huo grumbled about her grandson for a while, then started coaxing Su Wanwan, Its so hot now, is it too much for you to be learning to drive every day? I just asked Wen Xiu to make some mung bean soup for heat relief, you and Ashen shoulde over quickly. Ill have Wen Xiu make a few dishes you like, and cut up your favorite fruits It was difficult to refuse the elderly womans enthusiasm. Su Wanwan had no choice but to agree. So, half an hourter, she was reluctantly sitting in the car. As soon as she left the vi, Su Wanwan suddenly remembered the little one at home. Wheres the kid? Is he not going back with us? Huo Jingshen: Xiu Xin will pick him upter. Who is Xiu Xin? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, His stepmother. Uh A stepmother? ** Huo Jingshen drove to the 998 Art Park near the mansion and said his grandmother had asked him to pick up a framed painting on his way. Once he had parked, Su Wanwan immediately turned her little head towards the window, You go. Huo Jingshen: He nced at the time and ultimately relented, Dont run around, just wait patiently in the car. Wait, my foot! Su Wanwan ignored him. Once he had stepped out of the car, she immediately slipped out of the door. The Art Park didnt really have anything worth checking out, and as it was daytime, many stores were not yet open. Su Wanwan had a look around and decided it was too hot, the sun was too harsh, and it was better to sit in the car and listen to music. Out of the blue, someone bumped into her from behind. Ah! A scream and the sound of shattered ss were heard simultaneously. Su Wanwan also broke out in a cold sweat from the pain because her injured ankle seemed to have been hit by something. Are you blind? Cant you walk with your eyes open? A familiar and aggressive female voice filled the air. Su Wanwan turned around and had a look. Of course. It was Xing Siqing. The sister of Xing Yuyun. However, they hadnt seen each other for two years, and clearly, Xing Siqing didnt remember her anymore. Do you know how much this cost? You broke it! Xing Siqings face was full of annoyance. Her carefully chosen gift for her grandfather was now shattered! How much? Su Wanwan asked. Hearing this, Xing Siqingughed with a snort; her tone was exaggerated, Can you afford to pay for it? I wouldnt want to scare you to death by telling you the price! Su Wanwans mouth twitched slightly. The Xing Familys daughter still hadnt changed at all; she was just as arrogant as she had been two years ago. Ive seen plenty of women like you. Everyone knows that only wealthy and tasteful men frequent 998. Arent you just trying to snag a rich man? Do you think youre too beautiful? Xing Siqing looked Su Wanwan up and down,ughing sarcastically again, Your whole outfit is barely worth the price of one painting here. Why dont you take a good look at yourself? With your status, do you think you can hook up with a tycoon? Do you know what kind of women these men like? Itsughable Su Wanwan alsoughed, I might not know, but I do know that youve been with quite a few men. Isnt it so that they also frequent here? Is that why you miraculously ran into me here? By the sounds of it, you and I arent so different after all. Xing Siqings face changed, You slut, what are you talking about? Whos like you! Youre so self-unaware Siqing. A familiar male voice sounded from behind. Su Wanwans eyes twitched, while Xing Siqing began yelling, Brother, brother,e here! What bad luck to meet here! Taking advantage of Xing Siqings panic, Su Wanwan bolted as soon as the girl had her guard down.. Chapter 47 - 47: 047, as stupid as a pig Chapter 47: as stupid as a pig Trantor: 549690339 Dont run! Stand still for me Xing Siqing wanted to chase her, but she couldnt because she was wearing seven-centimeter-thin high heels. She fell behind after a few steps. Fortunately, a familiar figure appeared, and she shouted in a hurry, Brother, help me catch her! Su Wanwan ran into a familiar embrace, her wrist was grabbed, and Huo Jingshens impatient voice rang out, Why are you running around? Hisss??? Su Wanwan grimaced in pain, her body was already aching, running had obviously made it worse Huo Jingshen immediately frowned, but before he could speak, Xing Siqing had already caught up. Brother, this woman just broke my jade piece and doesnt want to pay for it, I want to take her to the police station! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his voice as cold as his gaze, Take who to the police station? Her! Xing Siqing used breathlessly, Look at her, dressed in cheap street clothes, thinking she can seduce men with her foxy face. How delusional Brother? Xing Yuyun came up and tried to pull her away, but got pushed away instead. Why are you pulling me, brother? Come back with me. Xing Yuyun was in a bad mood due to the forced marriage issue, his tone was also very impatient. Why should I? Xing Siqing didnt understand, She broke the jade piece I bought for my grandfather, I havent settled ounts with her yet She is Su Wanwan. Xing Yuyun blurted out. Xing Siqings eyes widened in surprise. Su Wanwan? Impossible! She turned around and gave Wanwan a thorough look from head to foot, not daring to believe it. Didnt Su Wanwan have dyed short hair, wear skull and bones t-shirts, and love heavy, dark makeup? How did she suddenly be a different person? No wonder she didnt recognize her at first I see now. Xing Siqing suddenly realized, Well, well, Su Wanwan, are you trying to find a new target after my brother dumped you? But youre just an illegitimate child, always wanting a frog to eat swan meat. You think changing your outfit will make people forget about your shameful deeds? You were hanging out with men and staying out all night since middle school, your reputation stinks. If anyone marries you, theyre cursed for eight lifetimes Xing Siqing you shut your mouth! Xing Yuyun couldnt bear it anymore and sharply interrupted Xing Siqings words. He knew that his sister was close to Su Yanyan, but he didnt expect her to believe the things Su Yanyan said and said them all in front of Huo Jingshen He looked at Su Wanwan, expecting that such an insulting conversation would provoke her, yet She was actuallyughing. Indeed, Su Wanwan wasughing. From the moment Huo Jingshen appeared and grabbed her hand without letting go, but Xing Siqing was too angry to notice and kept verbally attacking her. She was truly as stupid as a pig! She didnt care if she were scolded, it wouldnt affect her, she had been hearing these outrageous insults for years. If she were to run around exining each one of them, she wouldnt have time for anything else However You had to be mindful of a dogs master, and now that she was married to Huo Jingshen, Xing Siqing had said that Whoever marries her is cursed for eight lifetimes Tsk, tsk, interesting! Unable to hold back, Su Wanwan looked up at Huo Jingshen, whose face remained calm as if he was not affected, but she knew for sure he was not pleased. So, in the middle of Xing Siqings shocking gaze, Su Wanwan embraced Huo Jingshens arm, moved closer to him, lifted her face and coquettishly said, Husband, she says that you marrying me is being cursed for eight lifetimes. The word husband was deliberately prolonged with her voice full of coquetry, which was extremely enticing. Huo Jingshen looked down at her. The little girl was voluntarily leaning on him, her eyes curved into smiles, stunningly beautiful, with a hint of cunning and arge amount of triumph in them, just like a seductive little fox. Where was her previous indifferent demeanor? As he looked up again, his dark eyes narrowed sternly, Siqing, how old are you this year? Xing Siqings face was pale and she was rendered speechless. In reality, her eyes were fixed on the two people in front of her who behaved intimately. Due to Su Wanwans words husband, her brain was still in a state of shock. If Im not mistaken, youre twenty-two this year. Huo Jingshens face was calm, his voice just as serene, yet it brought an invisible pressure to the listener. He continued, After the age of eighteen, one can assume full legal responsibility. Xing Yuyuns heart was pounding, Brother, Siqing didnt do it on purpose. Chapter 48 - 48: 048, seek a lawyer. Chapter 48: seek awyer. Trantor: 549690339 Article 24.6 of the Criminal Code stiptes that deliberately fabricating and spreading false facts, defaming others personalities, ruining others reputations, openly insulting and ndering others, amounts to malicious nder. If the circumstances are severe, it constitutes a crime of defamation and a criminalwsuit can be initiated. Huo Jingshen spoke word by word, with Su Wanwan listening in a daze. Was he spouting nonsense? How could he remember legal regtions that clearly? But evidently, the two were rmed, especially Xing Siqing whose face turned white with fear. Xing Yuyun, though rtively calm, was somewhat flustered. He quickly exined, Brother, my sister just came back to the country yesterday. She didnt know that youre already legally married to Wanwan. And our family has been busy nning my wedding, so no one told her You mean, if Wanwan werent my wife, she could be defamed at will? Huo Jingshen held his tongue, and Xing Yuyun felt like he had fallen into another trap. No, I didnt mean it like that Huo Jingshen interrupted, I am taking my wife to the hospital. You can discuss it with mywyerter. Brother, how can you do this to me? Xing Siqing finally regains her senses. Though she and Huo Jingshen werent close, he was indeed the eldest grandson of the Huo family and she was a granddaughtertheir rtionship was of cousins. He was actually going to sue her because of a few words? Xing Siqing is both angry and hurt. Seeing Huo Jingshen, it didnt seem like he was joking Shes been pampered since childhood, because of the family background, everyone treats her with respect. Even the old man Huo wouldnt chastise her too much. She had never encountered someone as stern and indifferent as Huo Jingshen. She was panicky and could only clutch Xing Yuyuns arm, seeking protection. Brother, you have to help me out. Xing Yuyun felt a headache. Ever since he bumped into Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan at the hospital, he felt that this brother simply didnt care about familial rtionships and reputation, besidesSiyqing was indeed in the wrong. Brother, Xing Siqing kept urging, really afraid of being sued. Just then, Su Wanwans voice suddenly rang out, Forget it, shes your cousin. Were all family, it isnt appropriate to make a scene by going to the police. Xing Yuyun was surprised, and so was Xing Siqing. The next second However, I counted the number of times you insulted me38 times. So how about this, if you say sorry to me 38 times, I might consider forgiving you. What do you think? Su Wanwan casually spouted a number, like Huo Jingshen did. Looking at Xing Siqings scared face, it felt quite satisfying. She curved her lips, and her smile was radiant. She felt so happy. But in Xing Siqings view, it seemed more like a disy of power, intimidating and pushing her around. 38 times of saying sorry? Was she subtly implying that she was a bitch!? It felt like she had been pped in public, Xing Siqings face turned red with anger, but she dared not have an outburst. She felt like she was going to burst out of anger. Dont want to? Su Wanwan came up with another idea, Indeed, having you to say it 38 times in one go might be too much. So, you say it once a day. If youre in a good mood, you can say it a few more times. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can get it over with. After saying that, she looked at Huo Jingshen, continuing to y tough with a cutesy voice, Honey, do you think thats okay? Huo Jingshen was looking at her too, with a hint ofughter in his eyes. Even his thin lips curled up into a light smile. Then, he bent his head, his delicate lips were almost against her ear, he said, How many times a day, its all up to you. There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with his words. But coupled with his intentionally lowered voice and suggestive gaze, it feels as if he was referring to something else Su Wanwans heart skipped a beat and she quickly avoided his gaze. This shameless old man! She wouldnt have bothered saying husband if it wasnt to frustrate Xing Siqing. But she had given him the opportunity to take advantage! Siyqing. Xing Yuyun just wanted to finish this quickly, You were indeed wrong about this. Say sorry to Wanwan. How could Xing Siqing agree to that? What makes it worse is that someone with illicite reputation such as Su Wanwan, had always been the person she looked down upon! She opened her mouth resentfully, Brother, everything I said is true. I didnt nder her. If you dont believe, you can ask Uncle Su. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow in amusement, Are you suggesting that I have poor judgment and got cheated by a young girl? Xing Siqing froze, She didnt mean it that way! Brother, I didnt mean Your sister-inw already pointed out two options for you. If you dont appreciate it, then you should hurry up and get a reliablewyer for the Xing family. Huo Jingshen didnt want to waste any more time, it was almost noon, and the olddy would be calling soon. Without waiting for Xing Siqings reaction, Huo Jingshen had already left with Su Wanwan. ** As soon as they turned the corner, Su Wanwan immediately loosened her grip. Her little face quickly returned to its cold elegance. Bastard! What? Huo Jingshen leaned over, What did my dear baby just say? Su Wanwan was startled by the word baby. Seeing her with that defensive look on her face, Huo Jingshen couldnt help but chuckle, his dark eyes filled withughter. Shameless! Su Wanwan cursed again, not wanting to look at him any longer, and limped quickly ahead. But before she could take a few steps, a strong handnded on her waist and lifted her in mid-airHuo Jingshen had picked her up princess-style! What are you doing? Su Wanwany in his arms, her beautiful eyes wide open and her face getting hotter and hotter. They were very close, his mature masculine scent and a light smell of cigarettes wafting into her nose.. People around were starting to notice Chapter 49 - 49: 049, Postponing the Wedding Chapter 49: Postponing the Wedding Trantor: 549690339 Why are you blushing? Huo Jingshen looked at her, the contours of his double eyelids seemed very profound due to his downcast gaze. She hadnt dressed up much when she stormed out in the morning, in a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts. Now, he could clearly see the faint traces on her neck. Huo Jingshen frowned, feeling a softness in his heart, his voice suddenly bing gentle, Its all my fault, I was too rough. Su Wanwan remained silent. But she felt slightly morefortable in her heart. Following this, he said- Ill be gentler next time. Damn it! Su Wanwan was so angry she felt like exploding. She blurted out, Touch me again, and Ill divorce you! Hearing this, Huo Jingshen surprisingly didnt get angry. He carried her away until they got back in the car, only then he slowly said, Once I, Huo Jingshen, get married, I never n to divorce. Su Wanwan: * * * Half an hourter, the Bentley Mu Shang arrived at Nangong Hospital. On the way, Huo Jingshen personally helped Su Wanwan get out of the car, go upstairs, register, wait for the doctor, and treat the wound. After the wound was re-bandaged, he suddenly said, Im going upstairs for a bit, you wait for me here, dont run around. Su Wanwan gave him a sideways nce. How could she run around in her condition? Was she seeking death? After he left, Su Wanwan limped to the corridor, found a seat and began to y with her phone. However, she was quickly interrupted by an unexpected visitor. Sister-inw? Sister-inw? Sister-inw! Su Wanwan looked up and saw Nangong Ci in a white doctors robe standing in front of her. His alluring peach blossom eyes wandered about, his voice was unbearably obnoxious, Oh, what happened? How did you get hurt? Hmm, Su Wanwan was toozy to interact with him, she responded indifferently and continued to y with her phone. Tsk, how did this happen? Big brother really doesnt know how to cherish a beauty Though others might not notice, as a doctor, Nangong Ci was good at observing. From a distance, he noticed Su Wanwans weird walking posture. Looking closer, he saw something on her neck, he guessed that a certain old man had finally returned and was rough with her. She even got injured, he thought amused. Nangong Ci took out his phone and quickly clicked a photo of her legs. Startled, Su Wanwan looked up, What are you doing? Nothing, hehehe. Nangong Ci grinned obscenely. Su Wanwan felt ufortable. Even though he was in a doctors robe, she thought he didnt seem to be an upright man. Could he be some leg fetishist? Subconsciously, Su Wanwan pulled her legs back, which in Nangong Cis eyes was an attempt to conceal. Wheres big brother? he asked. Su Wanwan eyed him warily, Whats it to you? Nangong Ci suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously, No need to say, I already know. Im going upstairs to find him. After that, he almost skipped away. Su Wanwan was left dumbfounded. What kind of doctor is this So immature! * * Nangong Ci entered the elevator and directly pressed the 8th floor. Gynaecology. Sure enough, as soon as he exited the elevator, he saw Huo Jingshening out of an office. Oh, big brother, how fortuitous. I just came here for ward rounds, Nangong Ci shamelessly excused himself. A cardiologist doing ward rounds in gynaecology? Huo Jingshen couldnt be bothered and directly pressed the elevator. Goodbye, big brother, take care! Nangong Ci waved cheerfully. Once the elevator door closed, he quickly turned and entered the office. Hey, Little Fairy, quickly tell me, what was that gentleman consulting just now? The female doctor looked at the vice-presidents gossipy expression, Uh Is it good for the vice-president to be this gossipy? * * At the Huo mansion. On the first floor, the door to the study opened, and Mr Huo led the way out with his walking stick, followed by Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu. In the living room, Xing Yuyun and Xing Siqing, who had been sitting, immediately stood up and called out, Grandfather. Mr Huo responded, The matter of postponing the wedding, I will discuss it with Ashenter. Old man, what do you mean? Mrs Huo asked. I have mentioned this matter before, and Ashen agreed. Now, the Su and Xing families are nning to hold weddings, its better to separate the celebrations. Mrs Huo frowned, then she looked at Huo Qinyu, Didnt you say it was going to be an engagement? Why are you in a hurry to change it to a wedding? She was nning to hold Ashens wedding ceremony first, the auspicious date was already selected. Huo Qinyu chuckled, Mom, I didnt want to announce this matter initially, as the pregnancy is not yet full term. What do you mean? Dad and you, are going to be great-grandparents soon! Upon hearing this news, Mrs Huo was naturally very happy, but soon she was puzzled, Isnt Su Yanyan only eighteen? Xing Yuyun didnt say anything. Huo Qinyu sighed, There is no way, since Yanyan is pregnant, she must stay here. Our Xing family can certainly afford to raise the child. Besides, Yuyun is already 25, and the two children are in love. After discussions between the two families, we decided to conduct the wedding directly At that moment, sounds were heard from the entrance. Young master, young madam. Mrs Huo immediately stood up, Wanwan is here. At the side, Xing Siqings face suddenly changed. Why did that bitche too? Chapter 50 - 50: 050, teaching a lesson to the little bitches Chapter 50: teaching a lesson to the little bitches Trantor: 549690339 What happened to Wanwans leg? Grandma Huo was startled. Su Wanwan was carried into the room by Huo Jingshen, she had expected that because it was a workday and it was lunchtime, only the two elders would be at home, but Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she felt as if she was deliberately pretending to be weak and unting her love. This was so fucking embarrassing! She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it. Compared to her blushing and embarrassed state, Huo Jingshen appeared calm. He put Su Wanwan on the sofa and when he stood up, his gaze indifferent as it swept over Xing Siqing. Xing Siqing was staring furiously at Su Wanwan at that moment. She thought Su Wanwan was just a green tea bitch who was two-faced, but men were infatuated with this kind of woman. She felt like vomiting when she thought of how she was throwing her weight around at 998 because she had her brothers support being arrogant and overbearing. Now she was deliberately pretending to be weak and getting her brother to carry her, what a drama queen! So when Huo Jingshen looked over, Xing Siqing couldnt hide her expression in time and when that gaze moved away, she was already dripping with cold sweat. This big brother of hers was terrifying. He seemed calm, and even gentle, but after the incident at 998, she knew these were just appearances. We bumped into Siqing on the way here, and she knocked into her. When Huo Jingshen spoke, Xing Siqings thoughts were confirmed and her face turned pale, Big brother, you, what do you mean by that? I didnt do it on purpose. What happened? Huo Qinyu asked her daughter. Mom, its not me, she ran into me. Wanwan ran into you? Grandma Huo expressed doubt, Then why arent you injured at all? It was Su Wanwan who had a bandage on her leg. She already had a leg injury. If she was already injured, why did you collide with her? I Xing Siqing felt herself being cornered and quickly tried to exin, She suddenly turned around, and the jade carvings I had custom made forgrandfather Thats what happened. Huo Jingshen spoke calmly, Siqing didnt know Wanwan was her sister-inw, so she was disrespectful, causing some dispute. Xing Siqings heart skipped a beat. Huo Jingshens words were light as a feather, as if he was just exining, but clearly, he was setting her up. As expected, Old Master Huo frowned, Siqing, what did you say to your sister-inw? I didnt Siqing. Huo Qinyu interrupted directly, Apologize to Wanwan. Mom? Xing Siqing looked at her incredulously. Didnt you hear what I said? Apologize to your sister-inw! Huo Qinyu emphasized again. Xing Siqing felt unjustified, how could she apologize, as a result, the atmosphere in the living room turned a bit stiff for a moment. Until the old Master Huo suddenly banged his cane. Siqing! Huo Qinyu had an unprecedented stern expression on her face. Xing Siqing gritted her teeth and finally reluctantly spat out three words: Im sorry. Su Wanwan blinked, and replied: Its okay. Wanwan is your sister-inw, you are not allowed to disrespect her in the future, do you understand? Huo Qinyu continued to scold. Xing Siqing didnt say anything. Whats wrong with this child Mom. Xing Yuyun finally spoke, Siqing knows she was wrong, and she wont do it again in the future. I hope big brother can be magnanimous and not hold it against her. Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids and nced at him indifferently, Yuyun is more sensible. Xing Yuyun: Being told to be sensible by a brother five years older than him, what else could he do besides listening? Wanwan. Grandma Huo sat next to Su Wanwan, What did the doctor say? Is it serious? Its nothing serious, Grandma She probably wont be able to walk for a few days. Huo Jingshen spoke casually. The gynecologist did say so. That serious! Grandma Huo was somewhat frightened, she scolded her granddaughter, Siqing, you cant be so careless in the future. Look at your shoe heels, theyre too high and pointed. Its too dangerous. Dont wear such ugly shoes again in the future, do you hear me? Xing Siqing was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. This damn bitch, she was just kicked a little, but she was deliberately ying the victim here, and she couldnt walk for several days This was definitely on purpose! * * Everyone was deep in thoughts during lunch. The old masters aura was strong, and he always followed the principle of no speaking while eating. Other than Grandma Huo who kept serving food to Su Wanwan, no one else dared to speak much. When they returned to the living room, Huo Qinyu spoke with a smile, Dad, theres still one thing that I want to talk about. Master Huo picked up his teacup and blew gently, What else? Siqing will receive her graduation certificate in July, and she ns to report to Huo Yuan Real Estate in a few days. The old master nodded, Ashen, you are responsible for arranging this. Sure. Huo Jingshen agreed very readily. Even Xing Siqing was somewhat surprised. Then, Yuyun, you take Siqing to the sales department to report. Why the sales department? Xing Siqing raised her voice suddenly. Oh? Huo Jingshen smirked slightly, Which department would you like to go to? Xing Siqing clenched her fingers, braved the pressure and said, I studied design, so of course I would go to the design department. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Do you know what project Huo Yuan Real Estate is currently working on? Xing Siqing was dumbfounded. What project? She Couldnt answer. Do you know who our current partners are? Huo Jingshen asked again. Xing Siqing again: Two days ago, Huo Yuan Real Estate had a bidding meeting for amercial decoration project. Do you know whichpany won the bid? The room was silent. Xing Siqings face had turned beet red. When her daughter couldnt answer any of the questions, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu felt as if they were being pped, it was utterly embarrassing. You dont know anything.. What am I supposed to do with a designer like you? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows a bit, his tone was mild but very harsh, Be a vase? Chapter 51 - 51: 051, Climb up the branch Chapter 51: Climb up the branch Trantor: 549690339 Big brother, you, youve gone too far! Xing Siqings voice was choked with emotion, her eyes reddening as the hint of a sob emerged from her words. Huo Qinyu also looked unhappy, Ashen, Siqing just graduated and has no working experience in this field, shes only twenty-two When I was twenty-two, Yunda had already listed on the London Stock Exchange. Huo Jingshen spoke with his usual indifference, but every word struck deep. Xing Yuyun couldnt help but frown. Twenty-two He was still studying for his masters degree abroad at that age. A sudden ring from the cellphone interrupted, Huo Jingshen rose, his eyes stern and cold, Huo Yuan isnt a charity or stray animal shelter. If you want to get in, you must start from the bottom. If you cant bear this tiny test, you can stay at home and livefortably like Zhexi. With that, he went to the balcony to answer the phone. Su Wanwan was left bbergasted. Her husband, was indeed so acerbic! He didnt hold back at all! Suddenly, it seemed he was quite polite to her, heh. As for Huo Zhexi, who was drinking at a club, he unexpectedly sneezed more than a dozen times in a row. Which son of a bitch was talking behind his back? * * As the balcony door closed, Xing Siqing burst into tears and dashed out the door. Huo Qinyu quickly rose, Dad, Mom, well head back first. Go. Old Madame Huo didnt stop them. As for Old Master Huo, he continued sipping his tea leisurely. * * Huo Qinyu chased after her all the way outside, Siqing, Siqing, stop! Xing Siqing halted, her eyes already red and swollen from crying. How can you be so rude? How have I taught you, just running out like that in front of the elders? Xing Siqing felt even more wronged, Mom, it was clearly big brother He was so over the line, why did he publicly humiliate me like that? Huo Qinyu didnt expect Huo Jingshen to be so ruthless. No matter what, Siqing was his cousin. Its all Su Wanwans fault, she must have been bad-mouthing me! Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, I have no idea what my big brother is thinking, bringing such a woman home, and not even bothered about the disgrace she brings! Hes just like uncle, he likes all the pretty ones, doesnt care where theyre from Dont you dare say things like that again! Huo Qinyu cut her off sharply. Did I say something wrong? Xing Siqing retorted, Su Wanwan is only an illegitimate daughter, the child of Uncle Sus mistress, previously just a low-ss girl! Does grandma senile, does she not care she was engaged with my brother? Ashen is already legally married to her. Huo Qinyu sighed, You must show respect to your grandfather, you cant disrespect her in any way, you will have to call her sister-inw Me call her sister-inw? No way! Siqing Im definitely not calling her my sister-inw! Xing Siqing wiped away her tears fiercely. Did she think shed be a phoenix just because she climbed up a big tree? Xing Siqing knew too much about Su Wanwan, could a woman who mixed with all types of men in the bars at the tender age of sixteen have anything good about her? Its hard to change ones fundamental nature, she may fool them now, but for a lifetime? One day her true colors will show and she will grasp it! Mom, I dont want to work at the sales department, help me plead with grandpa, Xing Siqing added. She was, after all, a granddaughter of the Huo family, her major was in architectural design. If she was seen working at the sales department by her friends and ssmates She couldnt bear the shame! Huo Qinyus eyebrows knitted together. Ever since the old man was diagnosed with his condition and decided to semi-retire in their old mansion, transferring thepanys responsibilities to Huo Jingshen, especially the real estate section, Huo Jingshen has been fully in charge, having the final say, as the old mans attitude clearly proved earlier. Ill try my best. Huo Qinyu could only say she would try. * * On the balcony, as soon as he answered his phone, Chu Xiuhuang demanded, Why the hell arent you checking the group chat? What group? What do you mean what group? Chu Xiuhuang hurried, Quick, I found a bunch of good stuff for you. Dont fucking say I dont have your back. Huo Jingshen wasnt ustomed to checking group chats, he only started using WeChat after he returned to China, because it was too noisy, he muted all the group chats. He hung up, took out a cigarette and fired it up, then opened the chat group named WJY. There was over a hundred new messages. At the very top was a picture from Nangong Ci: Su Wanwan sitting on the chair, the gauze on her leg drew the eye. Then after. Chu Xiuhuang: Isnt that girl too weak? Nangong Ci: Its obviously because big brother is too wild! Lu Chenyu: Ming Jing: Third brother, how do you know everything? Nangong Ci: I asked, the gynecologist said that sister-inw cant even walk, advised big bother to control himself and be more gentle. Chu Xiuhuang: Puhahaha. Ming Jing: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lu Chenyu: Chu Xiuhuang: Its mating season for the animals! The thousand-year-old Wrought Iron Tree has finally bloomed! Its necessary to take out my years of collection for him. Nangong Ci: Western ones are fine too, Mingzi remember to bring back some good discs for big brother as gifts. Ming Jing: Cough, cough, I dont involve myself with those kinds of things. Lu Chenyu: Chu Xiuhuang: Lu, try sending me dots again! Lu Chenyu: Suddenly, the message at the top of the WeChat group showed, Huo Jingshen has left the group chat.. Chapter 52 - 52: 052, listen to your wife Chapter 52: listen to your wife Trantor: 549690339 Chu Xiuhuangs call immediately came sting through again, Why the hell did you leave the group? Huo Jingshen said, Im married. So? Chu Xiuhuang didnt understand. What the hell does being married have to do with leaving the group? You should rename it to Four Bros. After saying that, Huo Jingshen arrogantly hung up the phone. In the WJY chat, which stands for Five Bros WeChat group, Nangong Ci was still asking, Oh no, will big brother be angry with us? Ming Jing: To be precise, he is angry with you and second brother for doubting his skills. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lu Chenyu: Heh. Chu Xiuhuang: Damn, this reserved bastard. I assure you, he definitely finished watching the video I just sent. Ming Jing: Should I still buy it? Nangong Ci: Buy it! And pick up a few for me too. Lu Chenyu: Do you want to watch it yourself? Nangong Ci: Damn it, Chenyu, its better if you dont talk. Lu Chenyu: * * * Living room of the Huo Family. After the old master of the Huo family left for the study, the olddy immediately asked a servant to bring an exquisitely crafted red wooden box. Once opened, a jade bracelet made of jadeite was revealed. Wanwan, this is our Huo familys heirloom jade bracelet. I had two made at that time. I gave one to my second daughter-inw and the other was supposed to be given to my eldest daughter-inw. But who could have known that Ashens parents left too soon She sighed and took Su Wanwans hand, Now, Im entrusting this jade bracelet to you. You must take good care of it, understand? Su Wanwan was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, Grandma, this is too precious. Im afraid Ill lose it. You wont, grandma trusts you. Su Wanwan: Even she doesnt trust herself! Although she didnt know much about jade, she could tell by the color and texture of this jade bracelet that it was valuable. It definitely was a top-quality item, worth at least a million, right? She would feel heartbroken if she were to damage it one day. Actually, its not expensive. If you really lose it, grandma will have another one made. Having said that, the olddy of the Huo family immediately put it on Su Wanwan without further ado. Su Wanwans skin was fair, her wrists delicate and the jade bracelet against her skin looked exquisite, its translucent jadeite hueplemented her skin tone perfectly, adding a touch of elegance to the young girl. The more the olddy of the Huo family saw, the more satisfied she became. Her face bloomed into a smile. She spoke again, Since youve obtained the marriage certificate, you are my acknowledged granddaughter-inw. As for the wedding, well follow the old mans advice and dy it for now. I hope you dont mind Grandma, its okay. I also dont want to have the wedding so soon. In fact, she still wanted to get a divorce. Of course, Su Wanwan didnt say this out loud. If they really were to divorce, the only person she would feel reluctant to part with would be the olddy of the Huo family. Although they had only known each other for a few days, the olddy cared for her as if she were her own granddaughter. Aside from Su Xueqin, no elder had ever treated her this well If you can think like that, then its good. Grandma was just worried about you. The olddyughed contentedly. Then, her tone changed, You should stay here tonight. Huh? Su Wanwan was stunned. Stay here? Wouldnt that mean shed have to sleep in the same room as that jerk? I asked Chu next door to send some birds nest. Ill have Yunxiu stew it for youter on. Its inconvenient for you to move around with your leg injury. So why dont you stay here for a few days? After all, Ashen used to live here, and the room is already cleaned up. Just as she finished speaking, Huo Jingshen came back. The olddy of the Huo family promptly said, Ashen, dont go home tonight. Wanwan has agreed. Su Wanwans eyes widened. When did she agree? Alright. Huo Jingshen looked at her, his lips curling into a slight smile. Ill listen to my wife. Damn it! Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan started panicking, Grandma, I didnt bring any change of clothes with me. It wont be convenient No problem! The olddy proved to be startlingly open-minded, You can wear Ashens clothes. He has plenty. Cough, cough, cough! Su Wanwan was choked by her own saliva. Could you be any more liberal, grandma? Chapter 53 - 53: 053, face turned green Chapter 53: face turned green Trantor: 549690339 In the afternoon, after receiving a phone call, Huo Jingshen went to thepany. Su Wanwan was still troubled over the issue of clothes, and initially nned to find an opportunity to let the servants buy them for her. However, granny Huo dragged her to watch Korean dramas in the living room all afternoon, crying andughing intermittently, and also wished to discuss the plot with her. By the time it was evening without her even realizing it, Su Wanwan had no choice but to send Huo Jingshen a message on WeChat: Remember to bring me a set of clean clothes and pajamas on your way back. You can wear mine. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Your clothes are too big, how can I wear them! * * * Huo Yuan Group. In the office, Huo Jingshen was smiling as he put down his phone and dialed an intra-line number. Mr. Huo, how may I assist you? Ji Jie answered respectfully on the other end of the phone. Arrange for a secretary to buy a set of womens clothing from the mall and have it delivered here. After saying this, Huo Jingshen added another sentence, From innerwear to outerwear, and also the sleeping gown. Understood, Mr. Huo. Secretarys office. Upon hanging up the phone, Ji Jie immediately gave instructions to his subordinate, Xiaozhou, go to the mall and buy a set of womens clothing now. Everything from innerwear to outerwear, including the sleeping gown. Secretary Zhou asked, Can I ask what style and what size? Ji Jie suddenly realized he had forgotten to ask Huo Jingshen about the size, but An employee should anticipate what the boss has not thought of! Moreover, who else could these clothes be for other than the Mrs? So he quicky said, Shes about 1.68 meters tall, has aparticrly good figure, and isextremely beautiful! As for the style, emmmmm you decide, use a womans perspective to pick something that a mature and sessful man like Mr. Huo would be attracted to. Do you understand? Understood. * * * Due to this mimunication, when Su Wanwan wanted to bathe in the evening, she became furious upon seeing the sleeping gown that someone bought for her. Huo Jingshen just pushed the door to the bedroom open when a ck sleeping gown came flying straight at his handsome face. Pervert! Huo Jingshen looked at the piece of clothing in his hand. Well, it is indeedsexy. Su Wanwan then pulled out a set of ck underwear from the bag. AD-cup? Eh, is she that big? Men really cant be trusted to buy clothes. Looking at the other piece Su Wanwan finally couldnt help herself and threw all the clothes at Huo Jingshen. No longer in control of her strength, she sat back onto the sofa with an ah, her eyes welling up with tears of pain. Why are you so worked up? Huo Jingshen quickly dropped the clothes and rushed over, Hurting the enemy 1000 means self-inflicting 800? Screw you! Su Wanwan red at him, You did it on purpose! Although Huo Jingshen felt wronged, his tone remained calm, If you dont want to wear them, then wear mine. You just want me to wear your clothes! Youyoure a pervert! Huo Jingshen looked at her indignation and remembered the female doctor who had scolded him at the hospital during the afternoon, saying that there might have been a slight tear and that he should have his wife go to the hospital for a detailed check. He knew then that Su Wanwan definitely wont go. The youngdy may be bold and uninhibited in her words and behavior, and sometimes even flurry like a demoness, but she is actually extremely conservative, especially in certain matters Feeling a pang in his heart, he spoke softly, Be a good girl. Ill have Aunt Liu bring your clothes over tomorrow, okay? Su Wanwan remained silent, looking down at the bandage on her leg, feeling very pitiful. In less than two days, her body was scarred and her soul was heavily struck Silence filled the room until the ringtone of a phone broke it.. Chapter 54 - 54: 054, no patience Chapter 54: no patience Trantor: 549690339 Huo Jingshen cleared his throat and picked up his mobile phone. Jingshen, this is Xiu Xin. Im sorry for calling at thiste hour. Have I disturbed your rest? Its fine. I wanted to let you know, Im taking Ziyang back to the United Kingdom tomorrow. The child is just too mischievous. Thank you for looking after him these past few days. My pleasure. I should be the one thanking you. Yet, this time was just too rushed. When I have some free time, Xihan and I would like to invite you and your wife out to dinner. Xiu Xin was excessively polite, and Huo Jingshen was aloof and cold. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone. He put down his mobile and walked towards the sofa; he reached down and picked Su Wanwan up. What do you think youre doing? Su Wanwan yelled in panic. Youre not in the best condition, so Im going to help you with the medicine. With that said, Huo Jingshen stretched out his long legs and started walking. I dont need your help! I can wash myself! Put me down! You better put me down now Why are you being shy with your husband? II II Theres no need to be shy with your husband. After finishing his sentence, Huo Jingshen stopped talking and began to act. His quick movements caught Su Wanwan off guard. Can II can wash myself, is that not okay? Su Wanwan whimpered, curling herself up and pleading, I can wash myself. Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, Are you sure? Su Wanwan immediately nodded her head, I only have a small scrape on my leg. Its not like Im missing an arm or a leg. I can wash myself! Seeing that he was still unmoving, she said, If I cant do it, Ill call you, alright? Fine. In the end, Huo Jingshenpromised. * * After returning to the bedroom, Huo Jingshen picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. Who bought the clothes? Ji Jie, who was sternly called by his boss in the middle of the night, responded with unease, Mr. Huo, the clothes were bought by Xiaozhou. Is there a problem? No. Huo Jingshens tone remained steady as always, Raise her sry by twenty percent next month. Yes. For a long time after that, a rumor spread widely among the secretarial department of the Huo Yuan Group: Mr. Huo prefers mature women, especially those dressed in ck.. Chapter 55 - 55: 055, Brother Jingshen Chapter 55: Brother Jingshen Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan started ying on her phone after taking a shower. Her long, seaweed-like ck hair was casually spread out on her shoulders, and the oversized mens ck T-shirt made her slender frame even more apparent. When Huo Jingshen came out of the bathroom, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes red at him with a hint of grudge. As the saying goes, a woman is most attractive when wearing a mans clothes. Unable to stand his gaze, Su Wanwan immediately discarded her phone, grabbed the thin nket nearby and covered herself, Im going to sleep now. You can sleep on the sofa. Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, but just as he was about to walk over, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang again. Hello. Brother Jingshen. Hearing this voice, Huo Jingshens eyebrows frowned slightly. Looking at the girl who was covering herself with the nket, he turned around and walked to the balcony. Whats the matter? On the balcony, Huo Jingshen lit up a cigarette, his voice deep and calm. Brother Jingshen, did you really get married? Yes. Who is she? You wouldnt know her. Does my brother know her? He doesnt either. Brother Jingshen, I have always thought that you liked Dong Manjiao. My brother said you were going to marry Dong Manjiao. But why did you suddenly find another woman I need to rest. Ill hang up first. Brother Jingshen Without heeding the call at the other end, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, and then quickly dialed another number, Did you tell Fu Qi about my marriage? What, did she call you? There was a low chuckle from Fu Xihan on the other end of the phone. She really cant hold back. Huo Jingshen took a puff on his cigarette, I thought you would remember our agreement. They had agreed not to interfere with each others personal affairs. So? Fu Xihans voice was scornful. You found a woman to marry on a whim because you didnt want to marry Dong Manjiao. Dong Yisen got angry and stopped all coborations with Yunda. As the head of Yunda now, did I say anything, huh? Huo Jingshen was silent. But Im suddenly a little curious. What kind of woman has such charm that youre willing to give up twenty percent of the Eastern Alliances shares for her. Or is there some other reason? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly. Instead of answering, he asked, Then why did you suddenly tell Ziyang that Xiu Xin is not his mother? Now it was Fu Xihans turn to stay silent. Huo Jingshen was in no hurry. He stood there, staring at the vast night, taking a puff on his cigarette. Then, the mans low voice on the phone sounded slowly, I dont want to wait anymore. Oh? Huo Jingshens expression did not change. The next second. When Xiu Xines back, I will ask her for a divorce.. Chapter 56 - 56: 056, must get used to Chapter 56: must get used to Trantor: 549690339 By the time she finished the long distance call, more than half an hour had passed. Huo Jingshen returned to the room. Su Wanwans eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep. But when he reached out to hold her Bastard, whatre you trying to do? Su Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, pushing him away with her hands. Pervert? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, tightening his hold, So its bastardly to hold my wife in sleep? Want to experience something even more bastardly? Su Wanwan had no choice but to surrender, Then dont hold me so tight, Im not used to it and cant sleep. Were married now. Im going to hold you like this every night from now on, so youll have to get used to it. Huo Jingshen spoke firmly, pulling her into his arms, But I wont do anything tonight, just go to sleep. The lights went off. In the darkness, Su Wanwany stiffly, unable to sleep for a long time until she heard the mans steady breathing. Only then did her heart gradually settle. After the days ordeal, she waspletely exhausted. Once she was rxed, she couldnt resist the drowsiness and quickly fell asleep. * * * The next morning. Huo Jingshen woke up early, opening his eyes to see the sleeping young girl in his arms. With her eyes closed, long curled eyshes, slightly pouted lips giving her a child-like innocence, the palm-sized soft and tender face without visible pores. All in all, she looked like a little angel who had never experienced worldly affairs. But when she woke up, she was apparently not so well behaved. The so-called, Sleeping angel, waking devil? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, pulled his arm out, got out of the bed and closed all the balcony doors and windows. The piercing sound of the whistle was instantly shut outside. By the time Su Wanwan woke up naturally, it was already past nine in the morning. She was the only one left in the room. Damn it! Su Wanwan quickly got out of bed. Having slept in for the first time in her mother-inws house was absolutely uneptable! After freshening up, she found the clothes that someone had bought yesterday. She didnt care about anything at this point and put it on anyway. It fit, but Thest item was a ck backless mini dress? This is killing me! It was definitely inappropriate to wear this at home. With no other choice, she hurriedly found one of Huo Jingshens white shirts. Tucking the hem of the shirt into her denim shorts and checking her reflection in the mirror, she hastily went downstairs. As soon as she reached the stairway, she saw Grandma Huoing up. The elderlydy, dressed in a in martial arts costume and carrying a Magic Sword, looked full of vitality and refreshed. She must have just finished her sword practice. Su Wanwan quickly sweetly greeted her, Good morning, Grandma. Wanwan, why are you up so early? Grandma Huo said, smiling cheerfully and in good spirits. Embarrassed, Su Wanwan blushed a little, Hehe, its not that early. Pfft. Grandma Huo chuckled, covering her mouth. Her twinkling eyes were teasing and filled with innuendo, Its okay, I heard everythingst night. Huh? Su Wanwan froze. Heard everything? Heard what? Chapter 57 - 57: 057, Drama Queen Grandma Chapter 57: Drama Queen Grandma Trantor: 549690339 Oh, this Ashen, its outrageous! His leg hasnt healed yet and hes so impatient. I must give him a good talking-to, young people nowadays simply dont know what the word restraint means Madam Huo spoke in this way, but giggled happily, humming a little tune as she went back to her room. Su Wanwan waspletely bemused. For goodness sake, is the soundproofing in this room really that bad? Even though they didnt do anythingst night, what if Madam Huo misunderstands now? With an embarrassed face, she went downstairs to find that Grandpa Huo was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. Grandpa Huo had fought on the battlefield in his early years and subsequently immersed himself in the world of business. Even when he wasnt speaking, his presence was very powerful, even sitting there had an intimidating effect. When he nced at her Good morning, Grandpa, Su Wanwan immediately greeted him sweetly. Grandpa Huo quickly shifted his gaze back and scoffed mildly, Young people these days, their lifestyle is too chaotic! Its simply outrageous! Su Wanwan: Thinking back to what Madam Huo had just said, she became even more embarrassed. If the olddy heard it, then surely the old gentleman must have heard it too this is really bad Fortunately, sounds from the entrance hall came to the rescue. It was Huo Zhexiing home. Still dressed in his mboyantly colored shirt, as soon as he saw Su Wanwan, he immediately scowled as if seeing an enemy. Yet, before he even spoke, the roar of Grandpa Huo had already sounded, You little scoundrel, you finally decided toe home! Huo Zhexi immediately lowered his head, Grandpa. Instantly switched from a little tyrant to being a grandson, it was a seamless transition. Grandpa Huo tossed the newspaper onto the coffee table with a thunderous voice, When Hao Chenges back from abroad, quickly move back in with your dad, dont irritate me with your presence! Huo Zhexi could only lower his head and murmur, I can move back right now. Grandpa Huo red at him fiercely and threw a teapot directly at him, You dare to talk back? The teapot hit his shoulder, and Huo Zhexi hissed in pain, grimacing, Grandpa, it hurts! I hope it kills you! Grandpa Huo was always in a bad mood whenever he saw this grandson. There has never been such a useless person in the Huo family. Ive told you so many times, if you dont want to work, just behave and stay put, we dontck your mouth to feed. If you dare to stir up more trouble like the incident where you hit the actress, Ill send you abroad! And you wont be able toe back in this lifetime! I know. Mentioning the previous incident, Huo Zhexi once again gave Su Wanwan a resentful re. If it wasnt for this bitch, and Mo Weiyi, how would he beughed at by others on such a public asion for wearing a green hat? As a result, he lost his cool and pped the jerk, a sneaky person filmed it and posted the video online These few days hes consistently being mocked and ridiculed by his friends, damn it! Clean up the floor. Oh. Huo Zhexi obediently fetched the broom. Seeing this, the maid spoke up, Young master, let me do it. Let him clean up on his own! Grandpa Huo yelled, scaring the maid off. Su Wanwan shuddered on the side. Soon, Madam Huo came downstairs after changing her clothes. Yunxiu, hurry up, make some breakfast for Wanwan. Theres no need for that, Grandma, Im not hungry. Grandpa Huo was still fuming, Su Wanwan felt embarrassed for waking upte, how could she dare to impose and have breakfast at such a time. No way, you must eat breakfast, recuperate well. I am looking forward to you giving me great-grandchildren! Cough, cough, cough! Su Wanwan choked on her saliva in surprise. Madam Huo giggled, Ashen has gone to the office. I told him that once your leg has healed a bit, we would choose an auspicious day and go to the Su family together to discuss the dowry. What do you think? Grandma, I will follow your advice. Such a good girl. Huo Zhexi sneered internally. Does this bitch have split personalities? In front of him she was so cruel and evil, but in front of grandpa and grandma, she was as sweet as a kitten, shes even better at pretending to be a good grandson than him. * * After breakfast, Su Wanwan received a call from Su Xueqin asking her toe home in the afternoon to try on the ceremonial dress. Time passed so quickly, two dayster it would be the 20th, that is, the wedding of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun. Grandpa, I wont try on the ceremonial dress, I dont want to attend the wedding. Are you talking nonsense again? Su Xueqin gently reprimanded, You are my biological granddaughter. When the Su family is hosting a happy event, as the eldest daughter, you must attend, and you must attend in style! Okay. Returning to the Su family always led to chaos even just thinking about it made Su Wanwan feel tired. So, she dawdled around until it was almost four oclock in the afternoon, Aunt Liu sent over changes of clothes, and Su Wanwan changed her clothes and went downstairs. In the living room, Madam Huo was watching a Korean drama. Wanwan, going out? Grandma, I am going back to the Su family, I shall return shortly. Thats perfect, Zhexi can drop you off, hes going to Jianwai SOHO. No need, Grandma But Madam Huo had already begun calling out, Zhexi, you send Wanwan to the Su Family. Su Wanwan felt that Huo Zhexi saw her as an enemy, and would never be willing to give her a lift. Who would have thought Okay. Huo Zhexi smirked, giving a fakeugh, Lets go, please.. Chapter 58 - 58: 058, Spoiled Rich Kid Chapter 58: Spoiled Rich Kid Trantor: 549690339 | Wanwan has a leg injury, you need to drive slowly, understand? The old Mrs. Huo reminded. Dont worry, grandma, I will take good care of my sister-inw. Huo Zhexi said, with an insincere smile on his face. Su Wanwan wasnt afraid of him, after all, he was just a spoiled rich kid. She was his sister-inw for now. What could he possibly do to her? So, she got into his shy sports car and they swiftly left the X District Manor, heading west. Gradually, Su Wanwan began to sense something was off, Youre driving in the wrong direction. You should have turned left just now. Huo Zhexi smirked, then put his foot down on the gas pedal and drove onto the highway. The speedometer started climbing rapidly, 60, 80,100 Eventually, it maxed out near 2oomph. Su Wanwan frowned, Slow down, this is dangerous. Huo Zhexi acted as if he couldnt hear her, his foot still pressing the elerator to the floor. He nced towards Su Wanwan while driving. He wanted to scare her, preferably shock her enough to cry, but instead Damn, was Su Wanwan even a woman at all? Not a single typical feminine reaction from her! With a screech of the brakes, the sports car came to a sudden stop. Huo Zhexi jumped out of the car and swung the car door open violently, Brat, get out of the car! With a baffled expression, Su Wanwan asked, What are you trying to do now? Get out, do you hear me? Huo Zhexis face turned vicious, If you dont, Ill drag you out! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, then reluctantly got out of the car. They were at a highway junction, with only asional passing cars and virtually no pedestrians. Whats the matter? Without grandma and grandpa, no more acting like a good grandson, huh? Huo Zhexi crossed his arms over his chest, I havent settled scores with you yet! What do you n to do about the time you injured me? It dawned on Su Wanwan that he was looking for payback. And how would you like me to deal with it? Huo Zhexi brushed his messy hair aside and then lifted one foot onto the roadside railing, To give my brother some face, lets do this C you just need to say sorry, kneel down, and clean off my shoe with your tongue. Then, I will forgive you. Su Wanwans mouth twitched. If he werent a member of the Huo family, shed p him right across his face! Such juvenile and ridiculous behavior! So, have you made up your mind? Huo Zhexi urged. Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smirk, I can say sorry. Just as Huo Zhexi was about tough But me kneeling to lick your shoes? Never happening! You little brat! Huo Zhexi was livid, he raised his hand, ready to hit her If you dare hit me, Im going to tell grandpa! Huo Zhexi clenched his fists. There was still some fear in him. But in the next second, he burst outughing, Do you really think I cant handle you? I know all about your past C your drinking, fighting, drug using, and sleeping around If I were to tell grandpa, can you guess what would happen? Su Wanwan almostughed. All those things she had done before were all recorded by the police. Wouldnt the Huo family find out as long as they checked? But then She checked her watch. It was almost five oclock. Her eyes flickered suddenly, Fine, but wait a moment, let me get some tissues. What do you need tissues for? I dont mind your saliva, get on your knees and start licking. Lets get this over with., Huo Zhexi, looking very generous, casually flipped his leg. But I do mind your shoes being dirty. I cant bear to put my mouth on them before wiping them clean. Huo Zhexi: Grinding his teeth, he finally agreed, Fine, then. After all, she would still end up licking, right? Shouldnt he film it with his phone? That way he could use it as leverage and see if shed dare to be cocky in the future. While these thoughts were running through his mind, Su Wanwan had already gotten back in the sports car. Then, before he could react, the engine roared and the white sports car flew off like an arrow. Damn her! Huo Zhexis eyes widened in an instant, and he began to chase after her. F***, stop! Stop the car! You brat, stop the car! Stop it! All his stuff, his phone, house keys, wallet They were all left in the car! * * Su Wanwan had learned how to drive when she was 15, but as she was still underage, she hadnt had the chance to get her license. Fortunately, she didnt run into any cops along the way and drove straight to the lodging of the Su family. The shy new model sports car drew attention as soon as it pulled up, causing an outcry from behind, Su Wanwan? Su Wanwan turned around. Xing Siqing never imagined that she would drive such an expensive car over. It was thetest model of sports cars worth millions. Did her elder brother just let her drive it so casually?! Behind her, Xing Yuyun and Huo Qinyu also got out of their cars and looked over. Su Wanwan nodded to everyone and then went into the house. Mom, did you see her attitude? Xing Siqing instantly got angrier. This wench actually ignored her? And she didnt even greet her! She was just too arrogant! Huo Qinyu quickly furrowed her brows, Alright, lets go inside too.. Chapter 59 - 59: 059, High-end formal wear Chapter 59: High-end formal wear Trantor: 549690339 The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and as bridesmaids, Xing Siqing and Qiao Zixin came over tonight for the dress fitting. Su Wanwan nced at the living room before heading to Su Xueqins room. As soon as the door closed, Qiao Zixin asked, Whats wrong with Wanwan, who upset her now? Who would dare to upset her? Su Yanyan resentfully removed her earrings, In this house, grandpa cares for her the most. He even specially had a high-end dress made for her. The mention of that dress made her angry. The wedding is hers, and she is the bride. Su Xueqin is indifferent, but he made a separate dress specifically for Su Wanwan. She didnt understand why, as daughters of the Su family, Su Xueqin yed such obvious favorites. Yanyan. Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yanyan hurriedly turned around with a smile, Aunt Huo, Yuntang, Sister Siqing. Why are you still calling me Aunt even when youre about to get married? Huo Qinyu feigned anger. Su Yanyan shyly lowered her head, and bashfully called out, Mom. Huo Qinyu immediately smiled broadly. She handed the supplements to the maid, then held Su Yanyans arm, her eyes involuntarily dropping to her stomach, How are you, feeling all right today? Su Yanyan was taken aback, then quickly replied, No, no, everything is great. Thats good Wheres that bitch Su Wanwan? Xing Siqing scanned the room but didnt see her. Siqing. Huo Qinyu mildly reproved, Dont be so rude. Xing Siqing snorted and went over to look at the bridesmaid dresses. As everyone settled down on the sofa, Qiao Zixin quietly asked, Werent they saying Wanwan was getting married? Why did shee alone? I was looking forward to seeing what her husband looks like. Sis. Su Yanyan was impatient, Whats there to see about her husband? Hes just an old man. Old man? Hes thirty, isnt that considered an old man? Qiao Zixin was shocked. True, being ten years older than Su Wanwan, he could indeed be considered an old man. Although, she heard that Su Wanwan married the eldest son from the Huo Family, who is set to inherit the Huo Yuan Group. Such a background was worth it, even if he was a bit older. Even if they divorced, Su Wanwan could still get arge alimony. Perhaps this cunning girl married that old man Huo because of the money? As Qiao Zixin was contemting this, the rooms door opened, and Su Wanwan wheeled out Su Xueqin. When they arrived, Su Xueqin pointed to the yellow gift box at the back of the cupboard, Wanwan, try on this dress. Let me know if it doesnt fit, we can still adjust it over the next couple of days. Su Wanwan noticed that the bridesmaid dress Qiao Zixin was wearing was a pink one, and the one Xing Siqing was holding was the same. There were also two opened pink gift boxes next to them. Obviously, Su Xueqin had again splurged on a uniquely customized dress just for her. Su Wanwan sighed inwardly, yet still smiled sweetly, Thank you, Grandpa. Su Xueqin pointed upstairs, You can try it on upstairs, there are too many people here. Alright. Su Wanwan picked up the gift box and went upstairs. The living room became lively again. But soon, Jiang Yi seemed to remember something abruptly, and she got up quickly, Sorry, Qinyu, I need to go upstairs and get something. * * On the second floor. Su Wanwan opened her bedroom door only to find it filled with stuff. There were rows of clothes racks up frontden with clothes, and storage cabs at the back filled with shoe boxes. They blocked off the already small room. Let alone living there, it was even hard to get in to try on clothes. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her bubbling anger and turned to leave. Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Jiang Yi came up from below. She smiled and said, Wanwan, I forgot to tell you, the stuff in your room all belongs to Yanyan. Su Wanwan squinted at her, Whats going on? Well, youre getting married, right? And Yanyan has been preparing for her wedding, so she temporarily put her clothes and shoes in your room Her room is so big, isnt there enough space there? This is my room, not her dressing room! Su Wanwan was angry. No matter what, this room still contained her things. If were talking about getting married, Su Yanyan is too, so why should she stuff her stuff in her room? And they didnt even ask her? Arent there other empty rooms on the second floor? Dont be angry, Ill clean it up right now, Jiang Yi said, then turned towards the stairs, Yuntang. Whats going on? Su Yuntangs impatient voice echoed, Youre not living here anymore, the room would be empty anyway.. Whats wrong with Yanyan using it a bit? Chapter 60 - 60: 060, good acting skills Chapter 60: good acting skills Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan looked at him, Do you wish that I would never return? Ive only been married for a few days, and youve already turned my room into a dressing room. Will you knock down the walls to make it bigger for her in a few days? Are you intentionally trying to frustrate me? Su Yuntangs face looked terrible, As soon as you return, you start yelling and disturbing the peace, dont think just because grandpa dotes on you, you can be so willful! Su Wanwan couldnt help but want tough. This is her father alright, Su Yanyan was the one being willful, moving all her belongings into Su Wanwans room without any consideration, but in his words, it became Wanwans fault. Su Yuntang went on, Didnt you say you married better than Yanyan? Why hasnt Huo Jingshene with you? Dont tell me the Huo family kicked you out and you came back to vent your spleen on me. Is this still my home? Su Wanwan found it ridiculous to even mention the word home. Standing by, Jiang Yi quickly spoke, Wanwan, of course this is your home. Dont worry, I will move all the clothes out of your room, it has always been yours. Really? Su Wanwan looked at the fake smile on her face and suddenly walked into the room. She ced the gift box on the sofa, grabbed the clothes from the hanger, and threw them on the floor one by one, before finally knocking over the entire clothes rack. Just like dominoes, all the racks behind fell over, making a ng ng sound. Jiang Yi let out a scream in terror, Wanwan, dont do this, these are Yanyans clothes. Many of those are freshly bought brand-name autumn outfits that Su Yanyan hadnt even worn yet. Didnt you say this was my room? Su Wanwan said, stepping hard on the clothes, These dirty things in my room upset me. Whats wrong with venting a bit? Wanwan! Jiang Yi hurriedly tried to pull her hand. Dont touch me! Su Wanwan looked disgusted as she abruptly pulled her hand away. Then, Jiang Yi let out a sharp scream and copsed back onto the sofa. Just as Su Yuntang walked into the room. Seeing this scene, his face changed and he quickly rushed over. Jiang Yi, whats wrong? Jiang Yi bowed her head, held her lower back, and whimpered in pain. What the hell happened! Su Yuntang looked towards Su Wanwan. It was clear C who else could it be other than Su Wanwan? With the room in such disarray, it was obvious there had been an argument. Its okay. Jiang Yi frowned as though exining, Its not Wanwans fault. I was careless and bumped my back onto the doorknob. Youre still defending her? Su Yuntang seemed abruptly inmed with anger. He got up and roared at Su Wanwan, Ingreate! Su Wanwan smirked and said sarcastically, Nice acting. Then she picked up the gift box and left. ** Downstairs, Su Xueqin frowned, Whats wrong, Wanwan? Is the dress not fitting? Why didnt you put it on? Grandpa, Im taking the gift back. I wont being back to this house in the future. Having said that, Su Wanwan wanted to leave, but she heard Su Yuntangs roaring from behind, Ingrate! Stop right there! He ran downstairs, snatched the gift box from her hand, and threw it on the ground. He then pointed at her nose and reprimanded her fiercely, Apologize to your aunt! Dad, what happened? Su Yanyan asked, surprised. Huo Qinyu also stood up immediately, Whats going on? The crowd had various expressions, most of them enjoying the spectacle unfolding. Jiang Yi had by now caught up, clutching her back with a pained expression, but trying to mediate, Yuntang, dont do this, it was my fault, I fell on my own. Its not Wanwans fault. Please dont me her. The more she spoke, the more it sounded like an obvious denial. Su Yanyan red at Su Wanwan whose eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she used sharply, Su Wanwan, how dare you push my mother! Youve gone too far! What did my mother do to offend you! Youre so cruel! Su Wanwan didnt want to waste time talking. She bent down to pick up the gift box and just as she touched it, it was pped away by Su Yuntang again. The gift box fell to the floor with a pop, and her arm had a red mark as if it had been scalded, it hurt even more with the burning sensation. She raised her head, her eyes were clear, I didnt push her, she fell on her own. Apologize! Apologize to aunt right now, are you deaf! Su Yuntang kept repeating. What are you shouting! Su Xueqin pped the wheelchair, What is going on? Dad, dont interfere with this matter today. Su Yuntang said, and reached out to grab Su Wanwans wrist, yanked it hard, Will you apologize? Su Wanwan looked at him, but didnt speak a word. Her eyes were cold, and the mole under her eyelid stood out prominently, stubborn, and vibrant. Upon seeing the mole, Su Yuntangs nerves cracked, couldnt hold back, and abruptly raised his right hand. But his hand was caught in midair by a strong force. Behind Su Wanwan without making a sound, there stood a tall man, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere.. Chapter 61 - 61: 061, aggressively defending shortcomings Chapter 61: aggressively defending shorings Trantor: 549690339 Su Yuntang was furious beyond words, he immediately tried to struggle free, but found his wrist was as though being mped by iron, unable to move at all. You., let go of me Just as he got his words out, there was a crack sound of a dislocated bone. Su Yuntang only felt a sharp, intense pain in his wrist, resulting in a suppressed groan. He, who had been at high positions for many years, cherished within greater bounds, and even receiving respect from those who met him. When had he ever suffered such physical torment? Quickly, his face distorted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and as the force steadily intensified, he clenched his teeth; even his body began to tremble from pain. As for the others, they were all somewhat dumbfounded. Especially Qiao Zixin. She discovered that this man was actually that top-quality man she had met the other day! His sudden appearance now seemed like the descent of a divine being, his height close to one meter ny, long and even, merely standing there casually made him exceptionally upright, giving off an arrogant and noble aura. Contrary to the casual attire he had on that day, today he was wearing a neatly ironed shirt and trousers, even sporting a tie. The whole person exuded the mature charm of a business elite, overshadowing any boss or young master she had dated before. He was like a shining entity,pletely capturing her gaze, making her almost infatuated. Her heart was melting and floating, and she couldnt respond at all. Ashen! Huo Qinyu was the first to react, Thats your father-inw, quickly let go of his hand. Huo Jingshen pursed his thin lips, waiting for a few seconds, only then slowly let go. When he spoke next, his tone was t and gentle, and was even somewhat polite, What happened to my father-inw, who upset you and made you so angry? Su Yuntang, gripping his numb wrist in pain, had a pallid face, choked with resentment and suffocated, yet he couldnt say a word. Such a good son-inw indeed. Just a second ago, he nearly believed his hand was about to snap! Now he is acting like a humble junior, even using the honorary title Huo Jingshen bowed his head slightly and looked at Su Wanwan, Did she behave badly again, causing the elder to be angry even when she returned home? Su Wanwan remained silent, possibly due to the scare, her face was pale and she was still in a daze. Its all a misunderstanding. Jiang Yi exined weakly, I identally fell a while ago upstairs and injured my waist, Yuntang was too worried, it has nothing to do with Wanwan. Su Yanyan called out, Mom, you clearly just The words that followed had been forcibly stopped by Jiang Yis warning gaze. Thats good. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, his tone steady, My wife is still very young; if she has offended anyone with her words or actions, I hope the adults can be more forgiving. He did put on a quite courteous demeanor, making Jiang Yisughter seem additionally strained. But one cannot deny it, the initially tense atmosphere in the living room was slightly eased. Ashen, why are you just getting here now? Huo Qinyu changes the subject. In the past, she always felt that Huo Jingshen was quite aloof. His interactions with others were lukewarm. Considering that he had been living abroad in the United Kingdom for many years, and didnt have much interaction, it seemed normal that they were not close. But after being in contact with him for these past days, she realized she was wrong. The way he hurt Su Yuntang just now, without seemingly using much force, caused him to hurt so much that he couldnt speak. His technique obviously came from martial arts training, knowing how to cause pain without damaging the muscles and bones. He was ruthless, not caring that Su Yuntang was his father-inw; even then, he swiftly switched to an extremely respectful attitude. No one could say anything against him, as he was both the perpetrator and mediator. Just got off work. Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, I came to pick my wife up for dinner back home. After that, he looked at Su Xueqin, Grandpa, I wont disturb your gathering. Ill take Wanwan home now, the elders at home are urging. Okay. Su Xueqin nodded his head and did not obstruct him. Under everyones gaze, Huo Jingshen ced his hand on Su Wanwans shoulder, leading her to leave. The living room fell into silence. Nobody spoke until Su Xueqins aged yet coldly angry voice rang out, Yuntang,e with me to the study. Su Yuntang, clutching his wrist, gritted his teeth in pain and followed behind.. Chapter 62 - 62: 062, Final Ultimatum Chapter 62: Final Ultimatum Trantor: 549690339 As soon as the study room door closed, Huo Qinyu said, Since Uncle has something else to discuss, well head out first. Xing Siqing blurted, Mom, I havent tried on the dress yet Take it home and try it there. Huo Qinyu interrupted her, turning her gaze towards Xing Yuyun, Yuyun, lets go. Xing Yuyun stood up and silently headed towards the exit. Su Yanyan wanted to chase after him but was pulled back by Jiang Yi. Auntie. Qiao Zixin finally regained her senses, I have to go too. This dress fits well, Ill take it home directly. Alright. They all stepped outside, just in time to see a Bentley passing by with Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshens handsome profile shed past. Qiao Zixin looked as if she had lost her soul, her gaze trailing after the car. She didnt even hear Huo Qinyus voice until her wrist was tugged. Miss Qiao? Qiao Zixin snapped back to reality, Sorry, I was lost in thought. Huo Qinyu nced at the departing Bentley, smiling, Were going back to Dongcheng, do you need a ride? A thought crossed Qiao Zixins mind, Sure, thank you, Auntie. ** As soon as she got in the car, Xing Siqing started toin. Mom, did you see it? Uncle Sus face turned pale from the pain. I heard our brother knows martial arts, thats too much! For a worthless woman, he even dared to strike his father-inw. Its just Say less. Huo Qinyu interrupted her. Xing Siqing huffed, turning to look out the window. The car was quiet. After a while, Qiao Zixin casually asked, Wanwans marriage hasnt been long, has it? Indeed! Xing Siqing immediately started babbling again, Who knows how that tramp hooked up with our brother? She was making a fuss with my brother just a while ago, I think she is vain and only cares about the prestige of the Huo family. Bing the daughter-inw of the Huo family is much more morouspared to the Xing family. Our brother is set to inherit Huo Yuans fortune. My brother, on the other hand, doesnt have a background or connections. My grandpa doesnt value him and my dad. Siqing! Huo Qinyu sternly cut her off. Never had she seen a sister belittling her own brother like this. Xing Yuyun was driving at the time, although he didnt say a word, it was clear he didnt take her words lightly. The car fell silent again and no one dared to speak for the rest of the trip. But Qiao Zixin was secretly delighted, for she had learned two important pieces of information: First: Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen had a whirlwind marriage; their understanding of each other was superficial at best. Second: Su Wanwan was only interested in Huo Jingshens wealth and status, meaning her intentions were impure. ** Inside the study, Su Xueqin, leaning on his cane, tremblingly stood up from his wheelchair. With his right hand, he swung a p. He put all his strength into it, causing Su Yuntangs face to turn to one side, instantly leaving a white handprint. How many times have I told you! Dont vent your anger on Wanwan! Su Xueqin sat back in his wheelchair, his anger unabated. Su Yuntang clenched his teeth, replying, Dad, why do you always defend that wretched daughter? Are you aware that she just threw Yanyans clothes and shoes all over the floor and deliberately pushed Jiang Yi down? She is clearly For no reason, why would she do that? Isnt it because you all went too far? Previously, you wanted to drive her out of the house, and now you want to seize the house entirely! Su Yuntang snorted coldly, looking out the window. The old voice of Su Xueqin rang out once again: I know, you think that woman dishonored you and ruined your future prospects. But shes been dead for twenty years, and your career is now sessful. Why cant you let go of your grudges and treat Wanwan a bit better? She is, after all, your flesh and blood. You wanted to p her in front of everyone. If it werent for Huo Jingshens intervention, what would outsiders think? What would the Huo family think? All these years you deliberately sent her to boarding school. Two years ago, you even sent her to Los Angeles. The reason I turned a blind eye was because I didnt want constant chaos in the house. But youve gone too far now, even giving the groom I carefully selected for her to your other daughter, and now you want to get violent! Im old and no longer capable, but I havent lost my mind! I do not want to see a repeat of todays events! Su Xueqin pronounced his ultimatum, ready to leave the study with his wheelchair. Dad. Su Xueqin turned his head back, Do you have anything else to say? Su Yuntang hesitated. Finally, he asked, Is Ya Jin really dead? Chapter 63 - 63: 063, doted on daughter-in-law Chapter 63: doted on daughter-inw Trantor: 549690339 Su Xueqin gripped the backrest of the chair tightly, yet his voice remained nd, Havent you checked it out at the hospital? Su Yuntang didnt respond. He stood there, his brow furrowed, aplex and somewhat bewildered expression on his face. Years ago, Su Xueqin suddenly brought back the swaddled Su Wanwan, saying that Ya Jin hadplications in the hospital and died from excessive blood loss. With no rtives or friends, the hospital had to take leave of the child in welfare care, before her ancestors epted her half a yearter. At that time, it was a critical moment in Su Yuntangs life and he certainly didnt expect an unexpected daughter to suddenly emerge. His eligibility to go to the American Institute was withdrawn by the school, he was questioned by the school leadership as if he were a criminal, and his previous passionate rtionship with Ya Jin was also re-exposed by on-lookers. His life rhythm was entirely disrupted. He especially hated Ya Jin. This woman nearly ruined his entire university life and to top it off, she couldnt leave him alone even in death! She had to leave behind a thorn in his life, causing him a lifetime of trouble! Every time he saw Su Wanwan, it felt as if he was seeing Ya Jin. The obscene images of her being pregnant yet not refraining from having affairs with other men, every memory felt like a dull knife constantly scraping at the bottom of his heart As Su Wanwan grew older, her face increasingly resembled Ya Jins. They looked almost identical, even the mole at the corner of their eyes was in the exact same spot. Just like Ya Jin, Su Wanwan was up to no good from a young age; skipping school, fighting, consuming alcohol, dating prematurely, regrly not returning home at night, frequent visitor at the police station The inferiority in her bones was truly just like her mother. His uncontroble hatred in his heart was just like his uncontroble disgust towards his daughter, Su Wanwan. Even now, he got the impression that how could such a woman easily be gone? Even though he has seen the death certificate, he has never been able to believe it You can stop wondering about the past, Su Xueqin looked at his son, his old voice grimly warning, I hope you will firmly remember what we have discussed today. ** When Su Yuntang returned upstairs, Su Yanyan was already crying up a storm in her room. Mom, this trench coat is a new Burberry, I havent even worn it once, I didnt even dare to cut the tags off. Now the buttons are gone after being stepped on, and my shoes, theyve been crushed! Su Wanwan went too far, she did it on purpose! Alright, alright, Aunt Yang is already cleaning up. Wanwan Seeing Su Yuntang pass by the door, Jiang Yi promptly stood up and chased after him, Yuntang, Yuntang, are you okay? Su Yuntang, however, seemed to have lost his soul and directly went into the bedroom. Mom Jiang Yi turned around, Stop crying, let me check on your father. You go downstairs and get your dresses together, good girl. Su Yanyan pouted, looking at the clothes and shoes scattered all over the room, she was about to go crazy from frustration. She had arranged for her two bridesmaids toe home and try on their dresses tonight, they had ns to take pictures and post them on social media with Xing Yuyun. Now, everything was ruined by that annoying girl! As she raged downstairs, she suddenly discovered a yellow box on the floor of the entrance hall. It was the custom dress Su Xueqin had gifted to Su Wanwan. EarlierSu Wanwan actually didnt take it with her? A smirk creeped onto Su Yanyans face. She quickly nced at the living room, seized the opportunity when the maid wasnt paying attention, and quietly picked up the gift box and left. ** The mansion of the Huo family. Huo Jingshen pulled open the car door, Get out. Su Wanwan tried getting off, somehow her feet went weak, and with a ah she leaned forward, about to fall. Her waist was quickly held by a pair of male hands, and consequently, she found herself in the warm embrace of a man. Huo Jingshen, with his head lowered, in the dim light of the streetmp, saw that the littledy in his arms was without makeup, her vivid features were childish yet radiant. What are you trying to do! Su Wanwan tried to push him away, scared. This man, who acted so reserved and remote in front of others, was revealing his true colors in private now, wasnt he? Huo Jingshen continued to gaze at her. The two were very close, his deep ck eyes unwavering, his voice low yet discernibly flirty, You seem fit and healthy, does it still hurt? Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she understood the implication of his question, she quickly answered, It hurts. Oh? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. It really hurts, it hurts like hell! Su Wanwan was indeed in a bit of pain. But having applied some ointment, the pain was indeed much less than yesterday, but she didnt dare to say that. In that case Huo Jingshens voice was gentle, Well head upstairs after dinner, and your husband will apply the ointment for you again. Su Wanwan:??? Wait, why the more I listen the more it sounds like Did Ashen and Wanwan get back? The voice of the old mistress Huo came from within the vi. Su Wanwan hurriedly pushed Huo Jingshen away, Grandma. Old Mistress Huo was at the door in no time, looking at the glorious couple in front of her, her face was beaming, Excellent, finally, youre treating your wife with care. Come on, dinners ready. Just as they entered the living room, there was a sudden nk sound from behind them. Then the maids voice rose, My God, what happened to the Third Master? Chapter 64 - 64: 064, wait for me Chapter 64: wait for me Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan turned around to look. Pfft She quickly covered her mouth. Zhexi, whats going on? Madam Huo received a considerable shock. Huo Zhexi was lying on the floor,pletely drenched as if he had just been fished out of the water. His flowered shirt was wet and clinging to his body, his clothes, pants, and shoes were covered in dust and grass clippings, his handsome face was drained of all color, his lips were pale And the most exaggerated part was his once mboyantly middle-parted hairstyle. Because of the sweat, it was split into two sections drooping on either side of his forehead, just like the hairstyles of traitors in World War II TV series With his eyes red red, he gasped for air and weakly roared: You damn girl, you youll youll pay for this! Madam Huo turned to Su Wanwan, What happened? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and said, He said he wanted to do some physical exercise, so he let me drive the car. Uh Madam Huo made a strange expression, So, Zhexi, you walked back? Huo Zhexi was still panting heavily. He had walked for over two hours under high temperatures without drinking any water. He was both tired and thirsty, his throat parched to the point of smoking, even talking was painful. Where did you walk back from? Madam Huo continued to question. Lying there, Huo Zhexi finally managed to utter a single word after a long while, Water. The servant quickly went into the kitchen to fetch water. Su Wanwan coughed twice and kindly said, I think it should be the Sixth Ring. The Sixth Ring! Madam Huo eximed. Huo Zhexi was so furious that his eyes rolled back. To think that as the third young master of the illustrious Huo family, born and raised with a silver spoon, he had lived a life offort and luxury. When had he ever been subjected to such hardship? When the sports car was taken away by Su Wenwen, he didnt have anything on him, not a penny and no mobile phone. He wanted to hitch a ride back but despite trying for an hour on the highway, not a single car was willing to stop for him. Once he finally reached the city, he wanted to borrow a phone to call someone to pick him up, but again, no one was willing to lend him their phone. Men, women, the elderly, and children would evade him by a great distance as if he were some gue. He was utterly bemused. Madam Huo was of mixed blood, and the Huo family was famous for their good looks. Was his appearance really that terrifying? What happened? Huo Seniors voice suddenly echoed. Upon seeing his grandson in such a pitiful state, he was even more furious, What have you been up to, you miscreant! Madam Huo exined, Zhexi was working out. Insane! Huo Senior turned around, Get the meal ready. Lets eat, lets eat. Madam Huo quickly started bustle about. ** Half an hourter, in the dining room. Wanwan, eat more chicken, this is a free-range chicken specially bought by Wen Xiu. And this pork hock, eat more, it provides cogen. Ashen, help your wife get some food. As soon as Huo Zhexi, who had just finished his shower, walked into the dining room, he heard Madam Huos enthusiastic greeting. He pursed his lips, found a spot to sit down, picked up his bowl, and began to scoop some soup. Smack! Madam Huo hit his soup spoon with her chopsticks, This was specially prepared for your elder brother, you go eat tofu soup. Grandma, theres still a big bowl of it! Cant I have just a small bowl? Huo Zhexi was on the verge of tears. He had suffered so much, was it too much to ask for just a small bowl of meat soup? Madam Huo clicked her tongue, You dont even have a girlfriend, what do you want to do with so much bullwhip soup? Cough, cough, cough. Su Wenwen choked. Bullwhip soup? No wonder Madam Huo kept telling Huo Jingshen to drink more As for Huo Jingshen. He raised his eyebrows, looking at the spoon in his hand, unsure whether to continue drinking? Or Continue drinking? Cough! Huo Senior coughed loud and clear. As a warning. Who expected Madam Huo to look at him, Old man, do you want to drink bullwhip soup too? Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! Huo Senior was choked and coughed even louder.. Chapter 65 - 65: 065, teach the fool a lesson Chapter 65: teach the fool a lesson Trantor: 549690339 Finally, dinner ended. Huo Zhexi was the first to push his bowl and chopsticks aside and leave. The old Master Huo solemnly spoke, Ashen,e to the study with me. Weve already said theres no talking about business in the house. Cant you be a little considerate at thiste hour? the old Madame Huo was very unhappy. Master Huo was truly fed up with his wife, but he didnt want to argue in front of the younger generation. He could only give her a fierce look, and stomp off. Huo Jingshen put down the napkin, he told Su Wanwan, You can go back to the room first. Su Wanwan had just stood up. Clean yourself up and wait for me. Su Wanwan froze on the spot, her face turning as red as a monkeys bottom. Damn it! Cant this guy stop speaking so seriously when hes saying things that are easily misunderstood? With Madame Huos ambiguous gaze on her, Su Wanwan tried to exin, Uh, what he meant was that hes going to change the dressing on my legter. Her leg was injured, surely the old Madame wouldnt let her mind wander? Madame Huo immediately nodded as if pounding on garlic, I understand, I understand everything. Wanwan, quickly go back to your room, take a shower. Su Wanwan: The more said, the worse it got. Whatever. She should just return to her room. Just as she reached the top of the stairs, a gloomy voice sounded from behind her. Stay where you are! Su Wanwan turned around, Whats the matter? Huo Zhexi stood at the other end of the corridor, his hands in his trouser pockets, ring at her with fish-like eyes, Wheres my car? Its at Su Familys home, I forgot to drive it back. Huo Zhexi snorts coldly, Stinky girl, do you think I cant discipline you? Su Wanwan held back herughter, and spoke in a peaceful tone: Thest time I injured you, it was because I was drunk. Im sorry for that, and now, I take this opportunity to formally apologize to you: sorry! From now on, well let bygones be bygones since were all family Who the hell is family with you! Huo Zhexi irritably interrupted, My eldest brother only just returned to the country and doesnt understand the situation. Once he gets tired of ying with you, he will definitely dump you sooner orter. Do you really believe that you can be my sister-inw forever? Pah! Whos given you the audacity? Do you honestly think that your beauty will captivate my brother forever? Since he was being rude, Su Wanwan didnt feel the need to be polite either. She suddenly hardened her expression, her voice cold, I dont know if I will always be your sister-inw, but right now, I am your sister-inw and your elder. If youre not happy with that, go find your eldest brother. Is yammering at me really going to do anything? Arent you weary of whining like a woman even though youre a grown man in his twenties? Youyou Huo Zhexi went red in the face, so angry his hands were shaking. Damn it, if he could find Huo Jingshen, would he be wasting his time here? In this family, the person he feared second most after the old Master Huo was his eldest brother. Huo Zhexi had nothing to say for a little while, and finally managed to grunt out: Just you wait! After speaking, he returned to his room, mming the door in a resounding crash. Su Wanwans mouth twitched involuntarily. This blockhead Subconsciouslyparing him with Huo Jingshen, it was clear that the gap between them was vast. Huo Jingshen might be a bit shameless, crude, beastly, and a rogue Uhh, but at least he was diligent in his work and rarelyughed or spoke. On the surface, he seemed very meticulous and reliable. But as for Huo Zhexi, he was just a rich second-generation kid with no brains! She couldnt help but worry for his parents Su Wanwan shook her head, and opened the door to her room. Checking the time, it was eight oclock in the evening. Should she take a bath first or y a few rounds of her online game? Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and quickly answered, Hello. Wanwan. A flirtatious voice came from the phone. You havent been out to y with me for several days. Have you been busy getting cozy with your husband, Mr Huo, every day? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Mo Xiaose, can you be more appropriate, Im injured Injured? What happened? Mo Weiyi immediately got serious. Nothing much, just a minor injury, a bit of scraped skin. Oh. Mo Weiyi abruptly changed the subject, Are you going to the wedding of the dog-couple? You think I have a choice? Even though she really didnt want to go. Alright then, I received the invitation too. Originally, I didnt want to give the Xing Family face by showing up, but since youre participating, of course I will go too. At that time, dress up really nicely, you have to stun everyone, and bring your handsomely excruciating Mr. Huo. I will get Xiaobai to arrange some reporters, who will only interview you two and ignore the couple. Thatll certainly piss them off! Su Wanwan: Chapter 66 - 66: 066, Refined Scum Chapter 66: Refined Scum Trantor: 549690339 Lishui Bay Vi. On the first floor living room, Mo Weiyi picked up her mobile phone and nced at the time. Her father had just called Xiao Yebai in for a talk, and it had already been an hour. Had they not finished yet? She had no choice but to put down her phone and pick up the half-read detective novel. Shed only turned two pages when the door to the study was abruptly opened. Mo Weiyis eyes brightened, and she quickly got up. Xiaobai The first to emerge was Mo Yaoxiong. In his early forties, his square face was strained and his nasbial lines deep and stern. His current silence made him seem particrly severe. Dad. Mo Weiyi halted her steps and obediently greeted him. Mo Yaoxiong looked at her. His voice was low and contained traces of anger, Listen to Yebai from now on. If you dare to cause any more trouble, youre moving back into the old Mo Family house! I know, Dad. Mo Weiyi pouted coquettishly, You were abroad for so long, and you didnt bring me any gifts when you came back, yet all you do is scold me! Mo Yaoxiong frowned, looking at his adorable, innocent daughter, unable to say anything. Okay, Dad, Im going to go back in then, okay? Mo Weiyi said, waving cheerfully at him. Mo Yaoxiong shook his head and swiftly left. Mo Weiyi immediately ran to open the study door. Xiaobai! An acrid smell of smoke hit her. The study only had one dim light on. Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa in the soft glow, his head lowered, a cigarette between his slender, straight fingers. Xiaobai, what did Dad talk to you about? Mo Weiyi walked over and realized that the carpet had water stains, tea leaves, and pieces of a broken teacup. She frowned, turning to Xiao Yebai, Xiaobai, are you hurt? She raised the mans face. Just as she thought, his handsome face was dripping blood. One spot on his forehead was especially terrifying, blood beads were still oozing out from the wound. Did Dad do this? Mo Weiyi was shocked and distressed, her eyes welled up with tears, she said angrily, Im going to find him! Just as she started to rise, her wrist was held, Xiao Yebais voice raspy, Its alright. Youre hurt like this, and youre saying its alright? Mo Weiyi was both angry and confused, Why would he hit you with a teacup? What on earth happened? She frowned delicately, not understanding. Ever since Xiaobai hade to the Mo family, her father had always been nice to him. It was no exaggeration to say that he treated Xiaobai like his own son. Why had he unexpectedly be so angry today She suddenly thought back to what Mo Yaoxiong had said before he left. Was it because of the matter fromst time, when I asked you to have the police investigate Gui Mansion? But its been so long since then, and that case has been closed, why is Dad suddenly Go get the first aid kit. Xiao Yebai interrupted her, and then added, Its in the second drawer under the coffee table. Okay. Mo Weiyi soon came back with the first aid kit. She squatted beside him, carefully cleaning and bandaging his wound. From start to finish, Xiao Yebai sat there, still as a statue. Finally, the wound was dealt with. Mo Weiyi looked at the handsome, aloof man in front of her and suddenly spoke adorably, Whose boyfriend is this? So stylish! Even when injured, he looks so handsome! Xiao Yebai flicked his gaze onto her, his ck eyes unblinkingly staring back at her. Her pale face glowed pink with adorableness, a sweet smile on her lips, honey colored curls falling from her shoulders, her beautiful eyes like a cats, disying unabashed, infatuated affection for him. She was utterly innocent and naive. Mo Weiyi often thought: Her Xiaobai was a perfect example of a ssy gentleman turned rogue. He always seemed indifferent, as if he didnt really care about anything. But since they got married, she discovered a different side to Xiaobai. Sometimes he was assertive, sometimes overbearing, and sometimeseven a little brutal. And she, she just loved this paradoxical Xiaobai. The room was silent. In the light filtering in, Mo Weiyi was sound asleep. Her face was serene, even in sleep, her lips curved in a slight smile, like a little princess oblivious to the harshness of the world. Haha. Sometimes, the destinies of people are really quite unfair. A shadow of a smile traced across his thin lips. The mans smile was detached, his eyes full of cold mockery.. Chapter 67 - 67: 067, providing unsolicited help often means they’re up to no good. Chapter 67: providing unsolicited help often means theyre up to no good. Trantor: 549690339 Huo Jingshen returned to his room, greeted by the sound of running water. He shut the door and nced around without thinking. This was the bedroom he used to live in. Its small, so the bathroom is also small, the shower was located facing the door. So, at this moment, through the semi-transparent frosted ss door, the warm light inside the room projected directly. It was somewhat suggestive. Cough,cough. Unfortunately, the timing was off. The little girl is slightly wounded and needed a few more days to recover. He coughed lightly, walked over to the coffee table, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Soon, the room was filled with a faint smell of tobo, the lure of nicotine slightly calming him, but it did notst long A click, the room door was opened, and Su Wanwan stepped out. Seeing Huo Jingshen smoking over there, Su Wanwan also froze. What the-! She thought Huos old man would have at least an hours business talk with him, but it ended quickly. But going back now seemed to be too much, after all, they were already married. So she blinked, calmly walked to the table and sat down, applying skin toner. Through a thin cloud of smoke, Huo Jingshen squinted at her. After bathing, her long ck curly hair was pulled into a high bun. After Su Wanwan finished her skincare routine, she turned around and met someones bottomless gaze. She was taken aback momentarily. She hurriedly got up to find her pajamas. This afternoon, Aunt Liu had sent a suitcase which Su Wanwan half squat to reach for and rummaged through for her nightgown. Smelling the pungent smoke, she stood up abruptly and mmed the suitcase shut, Cant you refrain from smoking in the bedroom? Show some courtesy, wont you? After saying that, she waved the nightgown in mid-air, You should take a bath, you stink! Youve gotten the smell of smoke all over you! Okay. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, stubbed out the cigarette, Dont put on your pajamas yet, Ill help you apply the medicer. Su Wanwan:. She really admired his way of speaking, which was inappropriate for children. He stayed calm while her face turned beet red. If this were a battle of thick-skinned, shed have lost for sure! Huo Jingshen chuckled, stopped teasing her, and got up to go into the bathroom. While he was showering, Su Wanwan hurriedly changed into her pajamas and took out yesterdays medicine bottle. She decided to apply the medicine herself. Its better than letting him take advantage of her! While she was figuring out how to apply it, her mobile rang again. This time it was a local unknown number. Su Wanwan answered impatiently, Hello! Wanwan, its me. Who are you? Its me, your cousin, cant you recognize my voice? Qiao Zixins passionate and coquettish voice came. Qiao Zixin? Su Wanwan wondered, Whats up? This cousin had always had little interaction with her and was closer to Su Yanyan. As a matter of fact, other than Grandpa Su, the entire Su family had always disliked Su Wanwan. I was thinking C youve been back for a while and as your cousin, I havent even invited you to a meal. I thought I should. Do you have time tomorrow? I want to invite you and brother-inw for a meal. A meal? Su Wanwan smiled, No need. Perhaps not expecting her outright refusal, Qiao Zixin stammered for a bit before immediately saying, Not free tomorrow? Then you set the time C Im always avable. Su Wanwan leaned leisurely against the headboard, sensing that her enthusiasm was a little strange. Why would a rtive who has never been fond of you suddenly invite you to dinner? Ha! Undue favor, suspicion of trickery! Cousin, dont you have to work? My job is pretty easy, and my boss isnt strict. My office is near World Trade Sky City.. Lets find a ce nearby and you and brother-inw let me know when you are free, okay? Chapter 68 - 68: 068, private investigation Chapter 68: private investigation Trantor: 549690339 But Im afraid I might be busy tomorrow. Su Wanwan intentionally remarked. Then the day after tomorrow, whenever youre avable. Qiao Zixin made a point to amodate her. Su Wanwan thought for a moment and kept on probing, But these few days, I might not be free. I see. Qiao Zixin sounded a bit disappointed, Well why dont you add me on WeChat first? It will make contacting each other easier. You can use my phone number. Sure. Qiao Zixin chattered on about the past. Su Wanwan listened unenthusiastically, questioning whether she was ever so close with her. Not until the bathroom door was suddenly flung open did she react, I have something to do, Ill hang up. Babe, could you pass me my pajamas? Huo Jingshens voice drifted over just then. What the heck, this jerk! Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone. Such a loudmouth, who knew if Qiao Zixin overheard on the other end? *** On the other end of the phone, even after it had gone dead, Qiao Zixin was still holding her phone, reluctant to let go. Babe, could you pass me my pajamas? Was he taking a shower? Immediately, an image of Huo Jingshens cold and captivating face flitted through her mind, along with that of his close to 1.9-meter-tall impable figure. As far as she, who was experienced in the ways of men, was concerned, Huo Jingshen could be considered a top-tier male model. Moreover, she could tell he worked out regrly. Although a height of 1.9 meters was considered slightly taller among Asian men, his upright posture, noble aura, and powerful presence naturally made him appear superior. Such a man could allure any woman with his looks alone, let alone his family background. And Qiao Zixin admitted, she was love at first sight with Huo Jingshen! Especially after their second encounter at Su Familys house tonight, she couldnt contain her excitement. After listening to what Xing Siqing had to say in the car, she immediately went home and searched for all news and information about Huo Jingshen. She was eager to learn everything about him. However, she did not find much. Only news about him taking over the Huo Yuan Group after returning to Y Country and the introduction of his Yunda Investment Group in Y Country. In European media, he was dubbed a Business prodigy, and alongside his business partner Fu Xihan, they were acimed as the Chinese Gemini in the European investment scene. With their keen eye for investment and exceptional audacity and ambition, they invested in numerous seemingly hopeless projects that surprised everyone by turning impressive profits. In their twenties, they became the heads of listedpanies. Not even thirty, and their wealth had already surpassed billions, leading the Forbes rich list. It could be said that, despite their young age, they had achieved sess that every man dreams to achieve in his lifetime. The fact that such a perfect and outstanding man got snatched away by Su Wanwan was simply preposterous! And she noticed that there was hardly any news about Huo Jingshens private life. The only piece of gossip she found was the announcement of his marriage to Su Wanwan at Su Familys house. She paid particr attention to the date of that news C it was just a dozen or so days ago. That is to say, the two of them had been married for just over ten days. Suddenly, Qiao Zixin realized that her cousin seemed to be really crafty, having hooked such a prime specimen of a man just within ten days of returning to the country. Compared to her sister, Su Yanyans methods and taste in men were simply miles apart! * * * Su Wanwan had no idea that Qiao Zixin was imagining her husband at that moment. Right now, she was feeling annoyed. Even during showers, he needed her to fetch this and that, does he not have hands? Cant he get everything ready beforehand? Hes clearly doing this on purpose! Babe. Seeing Su Wanwan unresponsive, Huo Jingshen started calling out again. Su Wanwan t out yelled, So annoying! Get whatever you want yourself! Then, the sound of footsteps echoed. Su Wanwan turned around outright, picked up her phone, opened TikTok, and started watching videos in a show of defiance. Anyway, she just wanted to ignore him at that moment. TikToks background music was upbeat. She deliberately turned the volume up high, and whenever she saw a funny video, she wouldugh along. Engrossed in her viewing, her phone was suddenly snatched away. What are you doing? Why are you taking my phone? Su Wanwan immediately red at him. Huo Jingshen simply turned off the phone and tossed it aside, Too noisy. Then let it be! Who are you to meddle in what I do? Even watching TikTok is none of your business! Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing her temper. What she hated most was being controlled by others! From a young age, Su Yuntang would forbid her to do this and that, he would find fault with everything she did. The reaction was a rebellion. On top of his tant favoritism towards Su Yanyan, Su Wanwan wasnt happy and became even more rebellious, spending the majority of her adolescence shing against him. Why are you so annoying? Cant you not be like my dad? The soundproofing in the room isnt good. Huo Jingshen casually dropped a line that silenced Su Wanwan immediately. Um. It wouldnt be good if they argued loudly and the olddy overheard, misunderstanding something else Seeing how quickly the girl reigned herself in, Huo Jingshen sounded pleased, Good girl. Su Wanwan: Before she could answer, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows and stretched his hand under the covers, pulling out a small green medicine bottle. Su Wanwan blinked in surprise. Darn it, she almost forgot. Chapter 69 - 69: 069, Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again. Chapter 69: Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again. Trantor: 549690339 The look on Huo Jingshens face seemed even more satisfied, The medicine is ready, do you want your husband to apply it for you? Su Wanwan: She wanted to apply it herself, but she forgot because she was interrupted by a call from Qiao Zixin. Huo Jingshen had alreadymanded, he hinted with his eyes, What are you waiting for? Su Wanwan again: Shit, this is so embarrassing! How much longer is this embarrassment going tost? Su Wanwan wanted to curse, but Thinking about the poor sound instion in the old house, I held it in! She began to chant silently in her heart, One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep Finally, when the medication was applied, Huo Jingshen put the small green bottle on the shelf. Looking at Su Wanwan, who instantly looked like she was facing a great enemy, he smirked, Does my darling really take grandmas painstaking efforts in vain? Piss off! Su Wanwans face surged with heat, but she was afraid of being heard by the elderly people next door. So, she lowered her voice and angrily replied, Deserved it! Are you a pig? Who let you drink so much soup just now! He actually drank tworge bowls of ox whip soup! Unbelievable! It would be strange if he didnt have a fever now! Grandma is so old, I cant let her down. Huo Jingshen spoke ceremoniously. Su Wanwan was so annoyed that she couldnt speak. What kind of man did she marry? Is there still time to get a divorce? She! Wants! A! Divorce! *** Early the following morning. Have breakfast, Ill take you back to the Imperial Court. The mans deep maic voice interrupted her thoughts. Su Wanwan lifted her face, ring at the makeup mirror in front of her. In the mirror, Huo Jingshen was standing in front of the dressing mirror, tying his tie. He was still dressed in his usual white shirt and ck trousers, slightly raising his chin, his fingers moving smoothly and elegantly. Standing tall, he looked like a handsome, sessful man. Whether it was his eyes or fingers, they were all clean and refreshing. Who would think that such a gentlemanly man is actually aplete hypocrite? I have to go to the office during the day, call me if you need anything. After tying his tie, Huo Jingshen approached her to ruffle her hair. Su Wanwan abruptly dodged him, turning her back to him. But Huo Jingshen seemed to be in a good mood, not angry at all. He spoke to her with a smile, Behave, Ill take you to pick out a dress tonight. Su Wanwan quickly turned her head back, ring at him with her bright, beautiful eyes and gritted her teeth, pronouncing each word, I! Dont! Need! Su Xueqin had already ordered a dress for her. It was just due to the chaosst night that she forgot to bring it back. She doesnt need favors from this hypocrite! Then just apany the husband to try it. Having said that, Huo Jingshen left. Su Wanwan hummed towards the door, waved her fist, then picked up her phone to call home. * * * At the Su households vi. After picking up the phone, Auntie Yang began to hunt around in the living room for Su Wenwens dress. Auntie Yang, Good morning. Yang raised her head and asked hurriedly, Xiaowei, have you seen the Young Misss dress? The maid, Xiaowei, shook her head. She was a university student at Nancheng University. In order to earn tuition, she was doing temporary hourly work at the Sus house during the summer vacation, and she was only responsible for the day shift. Strange, I remember clearly that Miss left the dress here yesterday, why is it gone now? Auntie Yang wondered. Ill go look in the old mans room, Xiaowei, can you help me check the soup in the kitchen? Alright, Auntie Yang. As Auntie Yang entered the room, Su Yanyan came downstairs. Second Mistress. Xiaowei greeted her promptly. A big yawn escaped Su Yanyans mouth as shezily instructed, Thats right, Xiaowei. Yesterday, I asked Auntie Yang to put the dresses in the guest room. Move them out, the wedding is tomorrow and I want to do a final check. Yes, Second Mistress. Xiaowei busied herself in the guest room, moving out the boxes of dresses one after the other. Suddenly. This is my sisters dress, right? Su Yanyan suddenly pointed at one of the yellow boxes and asked.. Chapter 70 - 70: 070, Fragrant warning: Call husband! Chapter 70: Fragrant warning: Call husband! Just as Su Yanyan was leaving, Auntie Yang emerged from the house, Finally found it. Xiaowei, hurry up and call for a courier to send the gown over to Miss Su. Xiaowei: Okay. Courier? Su Yanyan raised an eyebrow, You want to send a multi-thousand dor gown by courier? If it gets lost along the way, can you afford to pay for it? Even if it doesnt get lost, if it gets dirty, or wrinkled and she gets upset can you bear the responsibility? Shes not as easygoing as I am. Auntie Yang and Xiaowei looked at each other. You should deliver it yourself. Su Yanyan pointed to Xiaowei, If anything goes wrong, youll be the one to answer to. Okay, Miss Su. Xiaowei could onlyply. * * On the other side, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen suggested moving back to the Imperial Court vi. Lady Huo was averse to the idea at first but decided to agree realizing that sound proofing in this old house wasnt quite good, which could make intimate moments slightly awkward for the young couple. Especially since her daughter-inw is young and bashful. She must have felt too embarrassed to be amorous after Lady Huos casualment yesterday; hence why it was so quietst night. They probably didnt enjoy themselves ahem. Thus, for the sake of holding her great-grandchild soon, Lady Huo weighed her options and agreed. Huo Jingshen drove back to the Imperial Court vi. As soon as they entered through therge gate, a running ck shadow could be seen in the distance. Go tie up the dog! Su Wanwan promptly ordered. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, KO doesnt bite. No, Im afraid of dogs. Su Wanwan admitted somewhat abashed. The ck Mu Shang car stopped in the garage. By then, KO was already excitedly dashing around the vehicle. Its resonant, excited barks were audible even through the car windows. Move it away quickly! Su Wanwan urged restlessly. Huo Jingshen looked at her calmly and then asked unexpectedly, What did you call me????????????????????????????????? 1 Huh? Call me hubby. Su Wanwan was speechless, Arent you being juvenile? But Huo Jingshen remained impassive as his dark pupils narrowed, Will you call me or not? Su Wanwan red at him intensely. Immature brat! She wont call him! Ungrateful wench. Huo Jingshen figured, this little girl needed some proper disciplining. When she needed him, shed sweetly called him hubby and acted coquettishly. But when she didnt need him, shed you and you him with no sense of courtesy. As his wife, she didnt seem to have any sense of self-awareness. Thinking so, his face suddenly hardened, and his tone turned strict and dominant, I am your husband. You should call me hubby, or Jingshen, be it in public or private. If you want to call me baby, dear, or anything more romantic, I can ept that too. Chills ran down Su Wanwans spine on hearing this. Baby? Dear? Shed rather get bitten by a dog! Huo Jingshen watched her silently. The little girl seemed somewhat unconvinced? Good. He suddenly stretched out his arm to push open the cars passenger door. But halfway through, Su Wanwan caught him. Looking at Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan coughed twice and then reluctantly called out, Hubby. Hmm, as expected, it was both crispy, soft, and Before he could savor the moment, Su Wanwan pushed his arm several times, growing impatient, Hurry up! Ive already called you! Quickly tie up the dog! Huo Jingshen: Su Wanwan red at him, Hurry up! Huo Jingshen again: Forget it. Once will lead to twice. The more she needs to call him, the sooner shed get used to it. With a raised eyebrow, Huo Jingshen finally exited the car. Fuming, Su Wanwan sat in the car, watching the looming ck-furred monster pounce at him. But before it could even touch his suit trousers, Huo Jingshen lifted a hand, and the once jubnt German Shepherd instantly calmed down, resorting to crouching in front of him like a yful dog, wagging its big tongue yfully. HUO Jingshen bent over, stroked its furry head a couple of times, then walked off towards the back of the yard, KO trailing behind. Su Wanwan immediately seized this chance to get out of the car and dash into the vi. * * Huo Jingshen lead KO into its kennel, fitted its cor around its neck, and tied the other end to a pir. Just as he was about to leave Awwoooo! KO howled. As if asking: Why do I have to be tied up in the doghouse every time the female owneres home? Poor doggie! Huo Jingshen stopped, turned back, and looked at its glowing ck eyes, Your mom doesnt like you. Awwoooo! KO howled mournfully again. After Huo Jingshen left for thepany, Su Wanwan started to feel bored. With their wedding to be held the next day, she called the driving school to schedule a lesson, hoping to get her driving license before school started. Then she received a call from Qiao Zixin, asking why she hadnt epted her WeChat friend request. Su Wanwan had indeed forgotten about this, so she quickly replied, Ive been too busy thest few days and forgot. You want to treat me to a meal, right? Lets do it tonight. Sure, sure. Qiao Zixin excitedly agreed. After adding her on WeChat, Qiao Zixin immediately sent her the restaurants address. At five oclock in the afternoon, Su Wanwan arrived for the appointment. It was a French restaurant situated on the top floor of amercial building located in a prime area. The waiter led her to the reserved booth. Su Wanwan was shocked when she saw where they would be dining. Has my cousin struck it rich? It was a window-side table in a revolving restaurant. Dining here allowed you to overlook the entirendscape of Nancheng. Such a dining spot usually required a reservation far in advance and had high service charges. Not long after Su Wanwan sat down, Qiao Zixin arrived.. Chapter 71 - 71: 071, Taking advantage of cousin’s wool Chapter 71: Taking advantage of cousins wool Trantor: 549690339 A low-cut strapless red dress hugged her bodacious, curvy body, revealing her alluring, mature allure. Her hair was stylishly done, with carefully applied makeup on her face. She also wore a matching set of earrings, a ne, and a bracelet that made quite the statement. When she walked in, she clearly attracted the attention of the men nearby due to her eye-catching ensembles. Once seated, Qiao Zixin smiled and broke the silence, What, Mr. Huo isnt here yet? Looking cheerful, Su Wanwan replied, My husband is busy at work, so I didnt invite him. What? Qiao Zixin barely hid her disappointment, and her smile slightly froze. She had deliberately taken a half-day off, went all the way to a club she would usually never splurge at, hired the most expensive stylist, Tony, and donned her most expensive designer dress! But Huo Jingshen didnt show up! The little brat didnt even say a word. Was it all on purpose? Did she know about her ulterior motives? But that couldnt be. She hadnt given away any signs, hadnt even had a one-on-one conversation with Huo Jingshen. There was no way she had been figured out. Lets order, said Su Wanwan. Alright, Qiao Zixin had no choice but to agree. She had only been to this ce once with a rich young man and had reserved this table through some connections. There was no way to get her reservation back. Theres also a minimum spending requirement C a casual meal here can cost up to two or three thousand. It seemed like she was going to bleed money today. [What are you up to?] Su Wanwan suddenly received a message from Mo Weiyi. She casually snaps a picture and sends it over. [Wow, having a candlelit dinner with your husband, Mr. Huo? How romantic!] Su Wanwan replies:[No, my cousin is treating me to dinner.] [Your cousin? Is it that Qiao Zixin who used to sic the dogs on you when you were little?] Mo Weiyi responded with a long string of words [Unexpected kindness is most likely a trick. Shes treating you to such a fine Western dinner. Be careful. Eat more, speak less. Shes possibly using you to get a job from Mr. Huo. Probably trying to get a backdoor job.] Su Wanwan: [She used to ignore you, but now that youre married into the Huo family, she rushes to suck up to you. I loathe such opportunistic rtives. Order a lot of expensive dishes. Let her foot a big bill!] Su Wanwan grinned and sent a single-worded reply. [Okay.] Cousin, we should get a bottle of Lafite! Qiao Zixins hand faltered, and she quicklyughed it off, Wanwan, its just the two of us. We dont really need to drink, do we? Its rare for my cousin to treat me, we should definitely have some wine to celebrate. Plus, whatever we dont finish can be stored here. Finishing her words, Su Wanwan looked up at the waiter and smiled, Please bring us your best Lafite. Thank you. Alright. Qiao Zixin: She wanted to curse! Then, Su Wanwan went on to order several of the restaurants signature dishes: foie gras, lobster,mb chops, snails, caviar Each dish she ordered made Qiao Zixins heart pound in anxiety, and her hand left nail marks on her palm. Its all about money! Finally, she couldnt take it anymore Wanwan! Qiao Zixin abruptly grabbed the menu, Thats enough, isnt it? Its just the two of us. Su Wenwen looked at her, Alright. Soon as she let go of the menu One more Coq au Vin, please. Su Wanwen finished, smiling slightly, Now thats enough. Qiao Zixin: She wanted to hit someone! Soon, the exquisite food started rolling out one after the other. Watching Su Wanwan relishing the foie gras in her cheap t-shirt and jeans, Qiao Zixin felt like her heart was bleeding. Because of Su Xueqin, she also majored in journalism in college. However, she didnt get a good job after graduation. Su Yunrong was just an associate professor at Nancheng University, Qiao Jianye was a deputy section chief, and her grandpa and uncle disliked using connections for career advances. So, she ended up working at a magazinepany. Although she worked in an office building nearby, her monthly sry was just a little over ten thousand. But wasnt this one meal going to cost her thousands? It was as if they were slicing off her flesh! But Su Wanwan seemed to be having a good time. She noticed that Qiao Zixin wasnt as warm and chatty as she was over the phone. Instead, she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Thats fine by her; she could enjoy her food without having to talk. When she finished thest dessert, Su Wanwan put down her spoon, This rum ice cream was nice. Cousin, can I order another one? Qiao Zixins smile was rigid, Wanwan, girls shouldnt eat too many cold and refreshing food, its bad for the body. Whats the big deal? Its summer anyway. Su Wanwan sounded innocent. After her words, she pressed the service bell. As Qiao Zixin watched her, her smile remained on the surface, but her fingers were tightly knotted under the table. Internally, she was cursing her: Go on, keep eating until you be a big fatso! The ice cream quickly arrived, and Su Wanwan enjoyed it at a leisurely pace. Another ten minutes passed, and Qiao Zixin lost her patience. French restaurants already had long waiting times. From the moment she sat down, she had wasted a full two hours here, and been fleeced in the process! The person she wanted to meet never showed up! Qiao Zixin picked up her phone, pretended to tap a few times, then abruptly stood up, Theres an emergency at the magazine, Wanwan, please continue eating, I have to leave. Sure, Su Wanwan nonchntly waved her hand, Dont forget to pay the bill, cousin. I didnt bring my purse! Qiao Zixins mouth was twitching in anger. This damn girl, shes really taking advantage, and god, thick-skinned! She took a deep breath and reminded herself: A minor impatience spoils great ns.. Chapter 72 - 72: 072, there is only one umbrella Chapter 72: there is only one umbre Trantor: 549690339 Even though she didnt get to see Huo Jingshen today, there was always next time. So, with trembling fingers, she pressed the service bell. The waiter soon came over, Your total is 12,885 yuan, miss. Will you be paying by card, cash, or through WeChat or Alipay? Over ten thousand yuan?! Qiao Zixin felt like her heart was being cut out as she feigned calmness, Ill pay with credit card. Okay, please wait. Just as the waiter left, Su Wanwans phone suddenly rang. What?! Not knowing what was said on the other end, Su Wanwan sounded irritated, Cant you try it yourself, do you really need me to go? Im still eating, youre so annoying! Alright, Im at After giving the restaurants address, she hung up. Qiao Zixin immediately asked her, Whats wrong? Who was that? My husband, Su Wanwan didnt feel like borating. Qiao Zixin eyes lit up. When the waiter came back with the card machine, she paid then sat unmoving. As Su Wanwan was spooning a mouthful of ice cream, she asked, Dont you have something important to do? I just checked WeChat, the situation isnt serious so they dont need me there. Su Wanwan: Was it that dramatic? Wanwan, it seems to be raining outside, Qiao Zixin suddenly said. On hearing this, Su Wanwan looked up. Indeed, it was raining quite heavily outside. She wondered whether the old man had an umbre? Qiao Zixin seemed even more delighted. It felt like heaven was helping her out. After they finished their ice cream, the two of them left, taking the lift down to the ground floor. Due to the sudden heavy downpour, the first floor lobby was packed with those seeking shelter from the rain. Qiao Zixin then suggested, Wanwan, if someonesing to pick you up, could they give me a lift as well? -It seems a little out of the way, isnt it? Su Wanwan remembered Qiao Zixin lived far in the south circle. Feeling slighted by Su Wanwans reply, Qiao Zixin lowered her expectations and said, Well at least drive me to the subway station. However, surprisingly Why dont you just take a taxi? Qiao Zixin, holding back her temper, exined, There are too many people, its impossible to get a taxi. Plus, my house is so far away, no driver would want to take the job. Su Wanwan nodded, I see. She actually hadnt thought much about it. She simply found Huo Jingshen to be rather annoying. He always tried to control her and enjoyed making crude jokes. It would be embarrassing if they started arguing in front of Qiao Zixin. But Qiao Zixin did treat her to an expensive dinner worth over ten thousand yuan Fine. She tried to console herself, she would just do a good deed and give her cousin a ride. Shortly after, a ck Bentley parked at the side of the road. The car door opened, and a tall, handsome man stepped out, holding a ck umbre. It was past seven in the evening. It was dark outside, the streetmps just starting to light up. Despite the heavy, misty rain, his slow, confident walk from the rain caught many peoples attention, especially from the women. Qiao Zixin felt a swell of emotion. Where was the frustration she was feeling before? She stood there, watching as the man approached, his handsome features and elegant demeanor more pronounced in the night. His naturally aloof and noble aura left a deep impact on her, like the most dazzling chandelier, making it impossible for her to look away. Huo Jingshen walked straight up to Su Wanwan, put his arm around her shoulders, and prepared to leave. Wanwan. Qiao Zixin quickly spoke up. Su Wanwan stopped, turned to look at her, Uh, this is my cousin, can you drop her off at the subway station. Amid Qiao Zixins excited gaze, Huo Jingshen nced at her coldly, his voice low and detached, Theres only one umbre. Thats okay, Mr. Huo. Qiao Zixin was considerate in reply. You can take Wanwan to the car first. This way, Huo Jingshen would have toe back alone to get her, giving the two a chance to have some intimate contact Youll have to run to the car then, Huo Jingshen said and then left with Su Wanwan. Qiao Zixin was left standing there, dumbfounded. What did he say? That she should run over? The rain was falling heavily, she had painstakingly styled her hair, applied makeup artfully, and even wore eight-centimeter heels. To run from here to the parked car would be quite a distance! But The two of them got into the car and did not show signs of getting out to retrieve her. Determined, Qiao Zixin bit her lip, lifted her skirt up, and dashed into the rain. By the time she finally got into the car, she waspletely soaked, her shoes were even filled with water, and her styled hair was wet and sticking to her head So embarrassing! Huo Jingshen didnt say a word, he simply started the car and began driving. As she lowered her head, initially feeling disgruntled, she realized that her dress was now clinging to her body, showing off her perfect curves Unconsciously, she straightened herself and raised her head with a smile, Im really sorry. I initially nned to treat Wanwan to dinner. I didnt expect it to start raining so heavily and for me to impose on you. I hope it isnt causing any inconvenience? Huo Jingshen didnt reply. The car was silent. Qiao Zixin felt a bit awkward. Back at the Su residence, hed been perfectly polite, treating Su Yuntang with respect.. So why was he so cold now? Chapter 73 - 73: 073, is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower? Chapter 73: is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower? Trantor: 549690339 I Wanwan. She had to find something to talk about, The wedding is going to start at twelve noon tomorrow, dont forget and bete. Oh. Su Wanwan finished speaking and then suddenly pointed ahead, You can stop at the subway station ahead. Qiao Zixin clenched her fists, she wished she could punch through the chair in front of her. Cant this annoying girl take her home? She had already got in the car, was she really going to catch the subway? She really has no emotional intelligence at all! She looked towards Huo Jingshen. The man was focused on driving. From her point of view, his side profile was strong and smooth, the bones of his fingers gripping the steering wheel were clearly defined and aesthetically pleasing. His shoulder line was straight, his back upright, his forearm was firm and sexy. From head to toe, he was simply the personification of perfection. But why did such a perfect man have to fall for Su Wanwan? Qiao Zixin was very upset. As the car slowly pulled over to the side of the road, she lifted her right hand, tousled her hair, secretly took off her earring, and forcefully shoved it into the gap in the seat behind her. The rain outside was still quite heavy. The ck Mu Shang stopped by the entrance of the subway station. See you tomorrow, cousin! Su Wanwan waved her little hand innocently. Qiao Zixin forced a smile, Wanwan, Mr. Huo, Ill get off the car first then, thank you both. Youre wee. The one who spoke was Su Wanwan. In fact, since she got into the car, Huo Jingshen had not said a single word, he seemed high and aloof as if he was in a world of his own. Qiao Zixin felt disappointed. She took onest look at the mans cool and alluring side profile, then opened the door and got out of the car. The moment the car door closed, the ck Mu Shang drove away. The car sped up so abruptly and quickly that it sshed a puddle of rainwater onto the woman standing by the road, soaking her thoroughly. Qiao Zixin just stood there in the rain and didnt move for a long time. Her hairstyle was ruined, her red dress had been stained and soaked, but there was a deluded and slightly creepy smile on her face. * * Inside the warm car. Huo Jingshen was still quietly driving, as if nothing had happened just now. The phone suddenly rang, Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, Grandma. Wanwan, are you home? Im out. I just found out that the Su Family sent your dress over here, thinking that you might need to wear it tomorrow, so I had Zhexi deliver it to the Imperial Court. Okay, thank you, grandma. Su Wanwan hung up the call and looked at the time. It was already eight oclock. She would be trying on her dresster, she didnt know how long it would take. As her thoughts rambled, the Mu Shang drove into an underground garage. After getting out of the car, Huo Jingshen took her to the elevator, straight to the tenth floor. Stepping out, they were met with the dazzling luxury of a chic storefront, creating a stark contrast with the somber rain outside. They entered a high-end styling salon. There werent many people. Soft music was ying, and the ck, white, and grey design was low-key yet luxurious. Good evening, Mr. Huo. Soon a staff member came over to wee them, his eyes looking straight at Su Wanwan. Those who frequented this salon were either societys elitedies or stars of the entertainment industry. Every woman was seeking to outshine the other. It was the first time he had seen such a pure girl. She had her hair tied up in a bun, her small bare face looked fresh and tender, tall, thin, and white. Coupled with her simple white T-shirt and jeans, as well as her pure-looking eyes wandering around, she radiated a student-like innocence. Then he looked at Huo Jingshen, his face was indifferent but he was firmly holding her hand. True, the more sessful the man, the more he loves younger women! Su Wanwan indeed rarely went to such ces, so she was curious and looked around a bit. When she turned back, she was already being surrounded by the staff, next to them was hanging a sophisticated long dress. Mrs. Huo, this piece of dress is the treasure of our store. Its designed by the French designer Turry Im not trying it, Su Wanwan blurted out. Huo Jingshen looked at her, his lips parting slightly, It has already been bought. Su Wanwan: Such a spendthrift! Go try it on. Although the tone of Huo Jingshen was light, it carried an undeniable authority. Su Wanwan pursed her lips. Why not, she had nothing else to do anyway. She followed the staff into the fitting room. * * On this side, Huo Jingshen was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. Nangong Ci invites you to join the group chat WJY. He ignored it and closed the notification. Good evening. Wee! As soon as Xiang Ranxin entered, she saw the man sitting there. She paused and turned to leave. Sis, whats wrong with you? Xiang Lili hurriedly held her. Xiang Ranxin whispered, Its toote, letse back tomorrow. It s still raining outside, and the driver hasnt arrived yet, whats the rush? I saw a dress herest time that I liked, I might as well try it on, Xiang Lili insisted, pulling Xiang Ranxin further inside. There was a man sitting on the sofa. He was in a shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and even had a tie on, looking extremely meticulous. He was looking at his phone, his face handsome, his features sharply defined. He was elegant, but also a bit aloof. Everyone has a love for beauty. Xiang Lili couldnt help but gaze at him more intently. This man was much more appealing than the young boys she had dated before, full of maturity and elegance. Im sorry, that dress has already been sold, a staff member quickly came over to tell her. Xiang Lilis face immediately darkened, Its been sold? Yes, the customer is currently trying it on. Upon hearing this, Xiang Lili was even more unhappy, Fine, then Ill wait for her toe out. She wanted to see, what kind of woman could afford to spend so much money for such an unwearable dress! Chapter 74 - 74: 074, an old man’s rotten love affair Chapter 74: an old mans rotten love affair Trantor: 549690339 Sis,e sit. Xiang Ranxin hesitated a bit before sitting down with her younger sister. Thest blind date at the Huo Family was like a nightmare, and she heard that Huo Jingshen got married on the spot that day. After failing two blind dates with the two brothers of the Huo Family, she had be theughing stock of their circle, and she didnt want to have any contact with the Huo Family anymore. Perhaps their gazes were too frequent, one was secretly stealing nces while the other was openly watching, Huo Jingshen suddenly raised his eyebrows and then lifted his eyelids. Their eyes met. Xiang Ranxin palpitates a beat in her heart, feeling a chill from his narrow, ck eyes. Before she could react, his gaze had already moved on. To readers! our content is stolen.Please copy and se@rch this link " /39h6j " to support us The mans expression is calm as if he was looking at a total stranger. Xiang Ranxin felt aplex mix of emotions. She felt a loss, embarrassment, and most of all, a sigh of relief. About ten minutester, Su Wanwan finally came out in her dress. Mr. Huo, are you satisfied? The employee had a smile on their face, looking hopeful. Whether Mr. Huo was satisfied or not, she was. The dress was the gem of the store for two reasons. Firstly, it was too expensive for ordinary people to afford, and secondly, its colour was too particr; ordinary rouge and powder wont do it justice. A-list celebrity came in a few days ago wanting it, but after trying it on, she realized that while it enhanced her beauty, it also emphasized her overly mboyant appearance. Feeling itcked elegance, she regretfully gave up on it. Su Wanwan, on the other hand, had naturally white skin, a delicate skeletal structure, and brilliantly luminous facial features. Being young, she still radiated innocence. The dress was a perfect fit, entuating her charm and elegance, creating an ethereal beauty. If she made some minor adjustments to her makeup and hair, it would be perfect. Huo Jingshen stood there, hands in his pockets, eyebrows raised, even his thin lips curved up slightly indicating his satisfaction. Xiang Lili, who was standing on the side, had seemingly frozen in ce. A Huo? In the whole of Nancheng, there was only one Huo family. Nonchntly buying a dress worth several hundred thousand, dressed as a business elite it couldnt be Huo Nuanyang. Sis, could he be Huo Jingshen? Xiang Ranxin did not deny it. Xiang Lili immediately clenched her teeth. Being the youngest daughter of the current mayor, she was more spoiled by her parents than Xiang Ranxin. Coupled with growing up in a political environment, she always looked down on businessmen and nouveau riche. Her eyes critically assessed Su Wanwan. She had to admit, Yunjie was naturally good-looking and knew how to use her assets to her advantage by choosing a dress that entuated her beauty. Beautiful and cunning, no wonder a yboy like Huo Jingshen was hooked. It wasnt that hard to understand why her silly sister lost to her. * * * An hour had passed after dressing and undressing. Once again Su Wanwan came out from the fitting room in a hurry and said, I need to go to the restroom. She had eaten two servings of ice cream earlier and now was paying the price. Su Wanwan stepped out of the stall, still feeling a bit ufortable, could she have gotten her period? There was already a woman at the sinks, she was wearing a purple sleeveless dress with a ponytail, she looked quite young. Su Wanwan nced at her and then went to turn on the tap. Suddenly, the woman next to her turned around and sshed cold water into Su Wanwans face. Everything happened within half a second. Then, Su Wanwan quickly turned around and pped the woman without a second thought. The p echoed around, crisp and loud. She didnt hold back at all. Xiang Lili covered her face, eyes wide in surprise, You you actually dared to hit me? Ever since she was a child, this was the first time someone had the audacity to p her! Even her parents had neverid a hand on her! Because she was too shocked, her voice rose higher, sounding shrill and incredulous. You like being humiliated, should I not hit you? Su Wanwan replied bluntly. If it was idental, she wouldnt have minded. After all, she was a mature woman, not the reckless girl from two years ago. The two years spent studying in Los Angeles had made her much more tolerable and restrained. But this woman intentionally scooped a handful of water and tossed it right into her face, did she mistake her for a saint because she seemed innocent and straightforward? Xiang Lili gritted her teeth, So youre a shrew, acting so innocent outside, my sister must be stupid to lose to a bitch like you! Lili! Another stall door opened, and Xiang Ranxin almost dashed out to drag her sister away, What are you doing! Su Wanwan watched her. She was wearing a white dress, looking gentle and familiar. Im sorry, Mrs. Huo, my sister is still young and doesnt understand, if she has offended you in any way please understand, Im really sorry. Xiang Ranxin apologized over and over again, then dragged Xiang Lili away. Xiang Lili was still yelling on the way out, She stole your man, sis you cant be this timid, you apologize even after the Huo family bullied you like this, sis show some backbone for once The rest of her words were drowned out by the closing of the door. Su Wanwan stands in front of the sink, feeling her blood boil with anger. Turns out this was her old mans leftover mess. They just got married a few days ago right? There were already women sshing water to her face out of resentment. Soon, would they resort to throwing acid? Or maybe knives? Chapter 75 - 75: 075, is he your biological brother? Chapter 75: is he your biological brother? Trantor: 549690339 Huo Jingshen noticed something was off with the young girl again. From the moment she returned from the restroom, she wore a sullen expression and wouldnt even let him hold her hand. Once they got back to the car, Huo Jingshen, noting her damp hair, asked, Who ticked you off again? Hmph! Su Wanwan turned to look out the window. Huo Jingshen: This girl! He promptly started the car and drove off. To readers! our content is stolen.Please copy and se@rch this link " /39h6j " to support us Halfway through the drive, someone called, Are you acting all high and mighty now? Weve been inviting you round after round and you wont join our group? It was just a joke, man. Do we all have to kneel and apologize to you now? Can consider. Sh*t! Chu Xiuhuang cursed, Misguided by hormones! Can that little girl be more fun than us brothers? Huo Jingshen retorted, Im not into guys. In other words, fooling around with the girl was more fun. Go f*ck yourself! Chu Xiuhuang, now replete with obscenities, instructed, Get in the group chat now, quit chattering, Little Mingzi ising back to the country tomorrow, bring your girl out tonight and lets get to know her, we wont eat her. I have a wedding to attend tomorrow, how about the day after? Sure! Soon, the car drove into the Imperial Court vi. After parking the car, Su Wanwan pushed open the car door and rushed into the house. Just as she entered the living room, she heard Huo Zhexi roaring, You impudent girl, stop right there! Su Wanwan was in a bad mood and didnt put on a good face for him, What now? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Huo Zhexi violently pulled the dress out of the gift box and threw it on the ground, stomping and kicking at it. You purposefully hid a needle in the clothes, didnt you? Were you trying to hurt me on purpose, it hurts like hell! Upon noticing Huo Jingshen entering from outside, he immediately shut up and politely retracted his foot. However, a secondter, he came to a startling realization. Damn! Im the victim here, what am I scared of? Ive be used to being cowardly. Huo Jingshen nced at the dress on the floor and then at his hand. He instructed Su Wanwan, Go upstairs first. My dress Ill have himpensate. Su Wanwan: Huo Zhexi: That being said, Su Wanwan promptly decided to go upstairs. Huo Zhexi, in a panic, shouted, Big brother, you cant just let her go like this. Do you have any idea how she tried to hurt me You touched my wifes dress? Huo Jingshen coldly interrupted. Huo Zhexi hesitated, his eyes darting around. My wife already knew that you have a perverted habit of touching womens clothes? Shes a fortune-teller? So she prepared the needle in advance, waiting for your touch so you can get pricked? Big Brother, Huo Zhexis face alternated between red and white. His voicecked confidence as he replied, II wasnt paying attention just now and identally touched it. Oh? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, You think Im as stupid as you are? How could you belittle me that way, Brother? Huo Zhexi understood that portion., causing him to frown. He felt like his intelligence had been insulted. Under Huo Jingshens leisurely gaze, Huo Zhexi got angry and confessed all, Yes, thats right. I did it on purpose! But wasnt it because she kept targeting me? She broke my head back then and took my car the other time. Look at the heavy rain pouring outside. I just got home from a hard days journey, I hadnt even had a sip of water, yet Grandma insisted that I deliver the dress to her. Why should I? I am not her maid! Moreover Huo Zhexi, sounding more pitiful by the second, continued, I just wanted to wrinkle the dress, dirty it a little, and purposely provoke her. Who knew thered be several needles hidden inside! My fingers have been pricked till theyre bleeding. Look, Ive lost so much bloodit hurts so much! That girl is so vicious, big brother. You should be careful. Dont let her poison you one day The remainder of his sentence was cut short by the gloomy look in the elder males eyes. For a moment, Huo Zhexi felt his legs go weak. He was still traumatized by the time Huo Jingshen had grabbed his arm at the police station. Huo Jingshen strode over to pick up the dress from the floor, but soon tossed it back. Go home, he ordered coolly, Dont ever touch my wifes belongings again. Huo Zhexi still objected, What about her hurting me? I want her to apologize. Huo Jingshen remained indifferent and simply stated, Whichever finger touched it, I will break it. Huo Zhexi felt a chill run down his back. Damn! Is this really my own brother? Is he seriously considering breaking his little brothers fingers? * * * Meanwhile, at the Su family vi. In a second-floor bedroom. Su Yanyan had gone to bed early that night, but excitement kept her awake. Tomorrow was her wedding with Xing Yuyun. From then on, she would be the legitimate wife of the Xing family, Xing Yuyuns wife! The thought made her extremely excited, to the point where she couldpletely ignore Xing Yuyuns recent indifference. Most importantly, tomorrow she could make Su Wanwan lose face in public. Being thedy of the prestigious Huo family, yet dressed in a shoddy dress, which due to a grand gesture, tore open leaving her indecently exposed! Making headlines of gossip news with a wardrobe malfunction scandal! Tsk, tsk, tsk, even the thought of it was thrilling. Even if Huo Jingshen could bear the humiliation, the Huo family probably couldnt, right? Chapter 76 - 76: 076, Old Man Su is Furious Chapter 76: Old Man Su is Furious Trantor: 549690339 | The following morning at Mingdu Hotel in Nancheng. In the rest area, Su Yanyan had finished her final touch-ups and stood up assisted by a group of staff members. Wow, the bride is so gorgeous! What a perfect figure! This wedding gown is stunning! Praise filled the room, making Su Yanyans smile even more radiant. Thinking of what is about to happen at the wedding venue, she felt waves of excitement within her. She can hardly wait. The lobby of the hotel was filled with a festive atmosphere. Xing Yuyun, the eldest son of the Xing family, has handsome looks, promising prospects, and is the wealthiest man in Nancheng. He is also the grandson of the Huo family, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Su Yanyan, with her elegant demeanor and graceful poise, had attracted many guests despite the Su familys modest social standing in Nancheng. Due to Su Xueqin and Su Yuntangs vastwork, they had invited many friends from the news media and even some celebrities. The serious attention from both families, coupled with their friends support, made this wedding incredibly grand and lively. When the Wedding March began to y, Su Yanyan, in her elegant white wedding gown, walked down the red carpet arm in arm with Su Yuntang. The sight instigated a massive wave of reporters to swarm her, their camera shes never ceasing. The scene hardly differed from a press conference of a major celebrity. The wedding officiant delivered a speech, parents of both families expressed their thoughts, the newlyweds listened to their vows, exchanged rings then embraced and kissed All of these moments were beautifully carried out. When both newlyweds retreated backstage for a rest, Su Xueqin finally asked anxiously, Where is Wanwan? Why isnt she here yet? Maybe she got caught in traffic, Jiang Yi exined. Su Yuntang didnt say anything but inwardly sneered. It would be best if that troublemaker didnte! After another round of apuse, the newlyweds changed into a different set of clothes for the toast ceremony. When Su Xueqin looked up, his expression changed instantly, What the hell is going on? The phoenix-colored dress that he had personally ordered for Su Wanwan was being worn by Su Yanyan! Dad, whats wrong? Jiang Yi asked. Su Xueqin red at her angrily, Exin to me why the dress I ordered for Wanwan is being worn by Yanyan! The whole table was thrown into confusion by his words. Jiang Yi was truly astounded, How could that have happened? Could there have been a mistake? A mistake? Whose mistake? Su Xueqin fixated his gaze on her, You and Yanyan were responsible for the dresses, so if there was a mistake, it was your mistake! Tell me what happened! Jiang Yi was at a loss for words, Dad, I I really dont know anything about this, I have no idea what happened. With a cold humph, Su Xueqins anger reached new heights. When Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun walked over holding their wine sses, he went straight to the point, Yanyan, what is going on? Su Yanyan felt a little guilty but kept up her innocent smile, Grandpa, what are you talking about? Tm asking you about the dress youre wearing! Su Xueqin pressed urgently. Su Yanyan nced down as if realizing something, Oh, are you talking about this dress, Grandpa? I just found it when I returned to the changing room I had only tried on western-style gowns before and I dont know why I ended up with this Chinese-style one to toast. It might be due to the same color that the maid confused them. I was afraid that it would dy the auspicious time, so I put it on anyway. Didnt you know this was Wanwans dress? Su Xueqin wasnt convinced. Su Yanyan had prepared her answer beforehand, Grandpa, you never opened the box containing the dress you gave to big sis, so I had no idea what her dress looked like. How was I to know that the maids had mixed them up? If youre unhappy about this, I can trade mine with hers once she arrives Which maid? Su Xueqin sharply interrupted. Su Yanyan repliedposedly, Xiaowei. Call her here! Okay Old Chap. Huo Qinyu intervened, Everyone is watching. Let Yanyan and Yuyun continue their toast. We can sort this outter, its just a dress. Yes, we can exin it to Wanwanter, she will understand, Xing Guozhi also tried to mediate. Considering the ongoing wedding ceremony, bridesmaids and groomsmen nearby, VIP guests at the neighboring table, and many journalists in the hall. Because of Su Xueqins loud voice, quite a few people had turned their eyes in their direction. It wouldnt look good if this minor misunderstanding were to reach the media. No wonder Wanwan isnt here yet, its because youve been plotting behind her back! You deliberately switched the dresses, you did it on purpose! Su Xueqin was so angry that his voice was shaking. Dad, what are you implying? Su Yuntang expressed his innocence and helplessness, I really knew nothing about this. Our house has been so busy with the wedding preparations. Its normal to mix things up. Alright, thats enough, the old Master Xing, who had been silent all this while, said in a deep voice, Xueqin, let the children do their toast first. He didnt want to make a spectacle over such a trivial matter. Yes, lets not dy the auspicious time, added old Lady Xing. But Su Xueqin continued to frown, unable to swallow this insult. Su Yanyan lowered her head in silence. As seconds passed, the atmosphere gradually became more tense. Everyone had stopped toasting and speaking, which provoked many curious nces and whispers. Qiao Zixin and Xing Siqing, serving as bridesmaids, could only stand on the side awkwardly. Old chap, said Huo Qinyu, frowning, Yanyan is pregnant and wearing high heels. She cant stand for too long Just then, they heard amotion from the front. Wanwan! At the neighboring table, Mo Weiyi was the first to raise his voice. Su Yanyans heart started to beat wildly. Has Wanwan finally arrived? She hurriedly looked over. But the next second, her perfectly made-up face twisted with surprise and displeasure.. Chapter 77 - 77: 077, Wanwan makes a stunning appearance Chapter 77: Wanwan makes a stunning appearance Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan entered along with Huo Jingshen, but Su Yanyans gaze waspletely focused on Su Wanwan. She was dressed in an ankle-length, lotus-pink gown, embellished with tiny crystals and an outeryer of transparent chiffon. The lightweight fabric entuated her graceful figure as she moved, oozing sublime elegance. Her waist-length, seaweed-like ck curls cascaded down her back, with a purposely woven top and loose strands framing her face and neck. This only enhanced her delicate and petite facial features. Along with her makeup matching the color of her gown, she appeared to be radiating yet pure and sweet. A jade and diamond ne adorned her graceful neck, matching her attire perfectly. Further enhancing her appearance were jade bangles matching her dress on her wrist. They refracted a dazzling yet warm glow under the crystal chandelier of the hotel lobby, as if dividing the boundary between nobility and celestial aura. Compared to the garish colors of the hall, herte arrival naturally attracted peoples attention. Besides, her fresh and unique style gave her-an ethereal charm that stole the show. Journalists who knew Huo Jingshen flocked around them to take photos, causing a sensation that instantly attracted the attention of all the guests, leaving the bride and groom forcelessly aside. It seemed like Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan were the real protagonists of the day. Su Yanyan even heard ongoing discussions: Isnt she wearing a dress designed by Turry? That ne seems like imperial jade! Even the bracelet! Such brilliance has blinded my dog eyes! Her outfit must be worth tens of millions? Why? Su Yanyan was so angry that she trembled the wine ss in her hand. Why didnt Su Wanwan wear the dress she had tampered with? Instead, this meticulously styled outfit and expensive jewelry seemed intent on upstaging her! When Su Wanwans gaze seemed to flit over here, Su Yanyan, feeling guilty, moved her gaze away subconsciously, but then She saw Xing Yuyun looking at Su Wanwan. His gaze was focused, unmoving, not blinking, as if He was mesmerized! Su Yanyan couldnt control the surge of jealousy and resentment in her heart. Her nails pierced into her palm, causing sharp pain. Wanwan. Su Xueqin beckoned Su Wanwan over. Any prior difort vanished, and upon seeing the handsome couple of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, Su Xueqin beamed with joy, showering them withpliments. My granddaughter looks so beautiful today. Su Wanwan took a nce at Su Yanyan before saying, Grandpa, Im sorry werete, there was a traffic jam. No problem at all, the main thing is that youre here. You and Ashen grab something to eat, dont starve. The surrounding chatter was incessant: So, this is Su Wanwan? Wasnt the groom previously engaged to Su Wanwan? I find the older sister more beautiful than the younger one. Whats wrong with the grooms taste? Dumping the older sister for the younger one? You dont understand, look whos standing next to her? A session of gaspster, the discussion escted. Its Huo Jingshen! Shes truly hitched to a golden dragon! No wonder shes worth tens of millions, shes here to steal the show! So, its not that the elder sister was dumped, but that she never set her eyes on the groom! With a rejection from the elder sister, he settled for the younger sister? What kind of man is this, a leftover eater? This is a real high society soap opera! II II Su Yanyans face and her eyes, shrouded with a poisonous veil, were full of resentment and venom. Mo Weiyi couldnt contain herughter, and kept saying, Thats the way Wanwan, thete arrival strategy! Have you seen the dung-eating faces of that couple? Their spotlight waspletely stolen by you two! I told you, there was no need for me to arrange for any reporters. You and Huo are enough to steal the show. Su Wanwan smiled. It was Huo Jingshen who had taken her for her look. They had spent a lot of time choosing the shoes and selecting the jewelry, which had caused them to bete. She used to think it was unnecessary to go to all these lengths just for Su Yanyans wedding. However, considering the ease with which she stole the show,bined with Su Yanyans awkward expression just now Well, she did find it gratifying. Besides Mo Weiyi, Su Yunrong, and Qiao Jianye, Su Wanwan didnt know anyone else at the table, so they must be rtives from the Xing family. Wheres your Xiaobai? asked Su Wanwan. Dont mention that, he was just called away by a phone call. Theres a situation at thepany that I didnt dare let him ignore. Mo Weiyi said looking a bit guilty. After their marriage, every time she messed up, Mr. Mo would give Xiaobai trouble. Mo Yaoxiong had been particrly picky about Xiaobais work. Last time, due to the mishap at the mansion, some trouble had befallen the Mo family. Mo Yaoxiong had even hit Xiaobais forehead. She had to behave herself now, staying at home reading novels, practicing yoga, learning cooking, practicing calligraphy pretending to be a genteeldy.. Chapter 78 - 78: 078, do you have to try so hard? Chapter 78: do you have to try so hard? Trantor: 549690339 Is your bracelet made of emeralds? Mo Weiyi started chatting again, So beautiful, it must be worth millions, right? That expensive! Su Wanwan eximed, ncing at Huo Jingshen in shock. Wow, Granny Huo is really generous! She had thought that since the bracelet was a family heirloom, it must be worth several hundred thousand, so she didnt dare to wear it after receiving it, afraid of identally damaging it. But it was actually worth millions? This is expensive? Your ne is even more so! Mo Weiyi spoke confidently, Tck tck tck, top-grade ice jadeite, your Huo grandpa mustve bought it from the ck market, right? I have one too. I heard this kind costs tens of millions, and its priceless. But she rarely wore the jadeite ne her mother left her as a memento As Mo Weiyi thought this, she couldnt resist casting a look at Huo Jingshen, who had maintained an indifferent expression since he walked in. Suddenly it seemed. Uh, Boss Huo seemed to spoil his wife more than Xiao Yebai, actually buying baby Wanwan such an expensive jadeite ne. Yingyingying. Mo Weiyi felt a bit of psychological imbnce. Why did Xiao Yebai never take the initiative to give her gifts? He totallycks romance! Every time she had to say what she wanted before Xiao Yebai would go buy it, and it was basically always the same kinds of jewelry pieces. No surprises at all! Women are like this, a tiny bit ofparison can easily lead to wild thoughts, even being overly critical of their own men. So Mo Weiyi immediately started bombarding Xiao Yebai with messages on her phone. The newlyweds wereing over to propose a toast at this time. First, it was a few rtives from the Xing family, then the aunt and uncle, and then it was Huo Jingshen. Everyone knew that Old Master Huos health hadnt been well in recent years, and presumably, Huo Jingshen was here to represent the Huo Family at this wedding banquet. Su Yanyan didnt dare to be negligent. As for Qiao Zixin, the bridesmaid behind her, she had been eager to try. Todays asion was formal, and Huo Jingshen was also properly dressed in a well-pressed white dress shirt with an erect cor, fitted ck suit trousers, and immacte ck leather shoes. From head to toe, he was meticulously groomed, clean and dust-free. When he made his entrance just now, Qiao Zixin felt that all the women at the event were eyeing him like tigers. Without a doubt, Huo Jingshen was the most dazzling and outstanding man there today, bar none! She picked up the little ss of wine from the tray, wanting to offer it to him, but Xing Yuyun intercepted it midway and proposed a toast to Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen picked up the ss of wine in front of him, slightly nodded his head, and gracefully finished the small ss of white wine. Qiao Zixin felt somewhat disappointed, but beholding his impably handsome features, her infatuation quickly vanquished any unwee feelings. She felt a different sensation this time. Huo Jingshen was thirty this year, undoubtedly the most charismatic age for a man. He was the sessor to the Huo family, and was currently the top man in Nancheng, yet he had no airs about him, even his mannerisms when toasting felt warm and courteous, polite, but not overly friendly, exuding a mild sense of distance. It was like a low-profile dominance! With a dazed look in her eyes, how sweet was it to look on at nothing but him, as Qiao Zixinpletely forgot her surroundings. My sister, youre so beautiful today. Su Yanyan cooed sweetly. Su Wanwan gave a faint smile, Youre also very beautiful today, its just this dress Her gaze lowered, scanning over it, It seems a little ill-fitting. Even if Su Yanyan was only eighteen years old, her figure was truly somewhat too developed. It was always overwhelmingly exaggerated whenever she saw her. It shed too much with her petite, peaceful appearance. Todays dress was a type of elegant and luxurious modernized Chinese cheongsam, its orange fabric adorned with various embroidered phoenix patterns. While the dress was beautiful in itself, Su Yanyans demeanor was rather unsuited to such opulence. The white pearl ne on her was also too extravagant, it didnt match her at all. Even if Su Wanwan was not well-versed in fashion, she could still see something amiss. Because the cheongsam was practically strangling her, excessively tight, it looked like it could burst at the seams with a slight mishap. Did she have to try so hard? Was the stylist this unprofessional? Who on earth would wear an ill-fitting dress on her wedding day? Su Yanyan had already switched to a wine ss at this point. At her hint, Xing Siqing hurriedly picked up the red wine and filled her ss to the brim, it was so full that the wine could overflow any moment. Su Yanyan was looking at Su Wenwen. You said my dress doesnt fit me? Heh heh. A glint flickered in her eyes. If this ss of red wine, was spilled on your graceful, well-fitting dress, and then soaked in, sticking to it Wouldnt that make it even tighter on you then? She slowly approached with the ss of wine in her hand. Just as she was about to clink sses with Su Wenwen, suddenly, she jarred her wrist forward. Just at the crucial moment, a mans hand suddenly appeared before her. Simultaneously, Su Wanwan was pulled away by Huo Jingshen. Ah! Su Yanyans scream instantly filled the entire wedding venue. All of the red wine in the ss had been sshed onto her! Since she wasrger than Su Wanwan, Su Yanyan had struggled to fit into this dressthe sleeves and hem were somewhat long, but the top was too tight. So, she had intentionally paired it with a lightweight undergarment, the fabric was extremely flimsy, just a thinyer ofce without any padding. But she could not have imagined that the dress would be soaked through and stained with wine at this moment, the fabric instantaneously turning transparent. My god! Someone eximed, The bride had a wardrobe malfunction! Is the bride goingmando? We can see it! We can see it! Quick grab a photo! Jiang Yi was the first to react, hurriedly yelling, No photos! No photos! On one side, Mo Weiyis cat-like eyes bugged out even more. What on earth was Su Yanyan trying to do? Was she that desperate? Presenting a show in front of everyone like that? Chapter 79 - 79: 079, the wrongdoer prosecutes first, the mean dog bites first Chapter 79: the wrongdoer prosecutes first, the mean dog bites first Trantor: 549690339 No photos! Jiang Yi had already charged over, pulling her daughter behind herself and using her own body to block a view, while her eyes directly looked at Su Wanwan, Wanwan, whats happening? Su Wanwan couldnt hold back her rolling eyes, I want to ask her whats happening. Was she giving a toast or sshing water? The high wine ss had been thrown on the carpet, and Su Yanyan was soaked in wine, leaving the table strewn with red wine, an absolute mess. Mom. Su Yanyan suddenly pointed at Su Wanwan, It was my sister! She intentionally pushed me! With these words, the scene was instantly filled with huge uproar. And then Su Yanyan started to cry. She was naturally elegant and gentle. Having been sshed with wine and then humiliated in front of everyone, her tears made her seem even more pitiful, greatly increasing her credibility. Many people had already gathered around to watch the excitement, including the parents from both the Su and Xing families. Su Yuntang was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He sternly asked Su Wanwan, Evil child, is what Yanyan saying true? Su Yanyan, are you out of your mind? To everyones surprise, it was Mo Weiyi who responded. She stood up from her seat, the red dress she was wearing made her stand out even more, making her appear radiant and beautiful, I clearly saw everything from the side. Wanwan didnt even move. You were the one who identally knocked your own wine ss over. And now you dare to say that Wanwan pushed you? Are you suffering from paranoid delusion or exhibitionism? You should really go into show business. With acting skills better than those of the Oscar Best Actor, I think you should abandon your marriage to Xing Yuyun. Even better idea? Why dont you change your sex and try to make it in Hollywood? Pft! Someone just couldnt hold back theirughter. Su Yanyans face turned red and then white, but she stubbornly clung to her version of the events, If she didnt push me, then how could the whole ss of wine end up on me? Are you suggesting I did this to myself on purpose? Since you already know how embarrassing this is, why are you still making a fuss about it? Are you afraid no one will take photos of your little show? Mo Weiyi continued to retort. Su Yanyan was enraged, What are you talking about Her arm was suddenly grabbed by a hand. Jiang Yi pulled her daughter aside, giving her a meaningful look. Then, she turned her attention back to Su Wanwan, Wanwan, even if Yuyun was previously engaged to you and Yanyan was wrong for getting involved, you shouldnt do this to her. She is still your sister, and today is her wedding day, everyone is watching Which dog-eyed person saw me push Su Yanyan? Su Wanwan rudely interrupted Jiang Yi. nJ ii Dont use me just because your daughter showed off a little skin! Su Wanwan interrupted again. She was taller than both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, and she was also wearing an eight-inch high heel, which made her look more intimidating. At that moment, she seemed indifferent, with a faint smile hanging on her lips. If my husband hadnt pulled me just now, that ss of wine would have ended up all over me. I havent even asked Su Yanyan why she had to be so vigorous in offering a toast. Was she deliberately trying to ssh it on me to embarrass me in public? Instead, you are here ying victim and using others. Does that mean If youre weak, youre in the right? Wanwan is right. Mo Weiyi added fuel to the fire, Just because you exposed yourself, you think youre right? Well said! The princess is awesome! Princess, tear her apart! Princess, fight her! The bystanders began to take sides. Mo Weiyi touched up her lipstick, her eyebrows were radiant, and her smile was breathtaking. She was very famous in Nancheng, she could meet her admirers wherever she went. Although she used to find it annoying, it did serve a purpose. At least during a verbal fight, fans would blindly support you and it would be an outright win. As for the elders, their expressions were extremely ugly. All the distinguished guests of the Su and Xing families were present today at the wedding, which was also attended by many of Nanchengs most influential figures, not to mention the number of reporters and such a scene was created. Old Master Xing ordered sternly: Take Yanyan to change. Jiang Yi went to pull Su Yanyan, but she resisted, pointing at Su Wanwan and yelling, You did this on purpose! Youre upset about me wearing your dress, so you took this opportunity to retaliate If Im not mistaken, a low and indifferent male voice suddenly chimed in, Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone steady, It was Yuyun who knocked over the ss just now. Su Yuntang quickly turned to Xing Yuyun at his words, Yuyun? Huo Qinyu was also astonished, What happened? Did you really knock over the ss? Xing Yuyun, who had been watching coldly all the while, let out a scornful chuckle when all eyes turned to him, then nodded in affirmation, Yes. Su Yanyan bit her lip hard. It was me. My hand slipped, so the wine ss was knocked over, Xing Yuyun finished, then turned his mocking eyes to Su Yanyan, his expression and tone full of sarcasm, Satisfied now? Or do you want to keep making a fuss? Su Yanyan stared at Xing Yuyun, taken aback. What does this mean? Its one thing for Huo Jingshen to defend Su Wanwan, but why was he, Xing Yuyun, taking Su Wanwans side? To protect that bitch, he was even willing to admit that he knocked over the wine ss, not afraid of pping her in the face, not to mention embarrassing himself and the face of both the Su and Xing families! So the dress youre wearing is actually mine? Su Wanwan asked, as if realizing for the first time.. Chapter 80 - 80: 080, the real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Palace Chapter 80: the real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Pce Trantor: 549690339 Her beautiful phoenix eyes assessed Su Yanyan from head to toe, thenughed, I thought you looked like a child in adults clothes, that toasting dress couldnt fit more badly, and the stylist obviously failed their job. Now I understand why C its because the dress is stolen from me. Her beautiful phoenix eyes assessed Su Yanyan from head to toe, thenughed, I thought you looked like a child in adults clothes, that toasting dress couldnt fit more badly, and the stylist obviously failed their job. Now I understand why C its because the dress is stolen from me. Su Yanyan, stealing men were bad enough and now youre stealing clothes too? Arent you ashamed? Mo Weiyi chimed in immediately. Looking at her best friend, Su Wanwan swallowed herughter before continuing, What puzzles me is why youre so fond of snatching my things? This dress, if I recall correctly, was specially tailor-made for me by grandpa. You secretly took and wore it, and not only that, you even dirtied it so much. And youre brazenly making a scene in front of everyone. Ive seen theft before, but never have I seen someone so arrogant in doing so! With a whoosh, the ce again erupted into discussions. No, I didnt steal, I didnt steal it! Su Yanyan shrieked. But by now, the spectators had already started discussing: Holy shit, I cant keep up with the plot twists! Did the bride really steal the dress from her sister? Stealing men and clothes now? Did she also steal the jewelry? My, my, this might be the legendary kleptomania. For the first time, Su Yanyan felt like a condemned mouse everyone wanted to beat. Not only Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi, but even Su Yuntang, Jiang Yi, Huo Qinyu, etc., seniors from both Su and Su Xing families all wore looks of disbelief. Su Yanyan was in shock. Messy noises were ringing in her head, turning her face blotchy with red and white patches. Finally, she regained herposure and cried out loudly, It was the maids! The maids messed up the dresses! I just realized it too, grandpa and others knew about it. Su Xueqin remained silent with a stern face. Su Wanwan slightly narrowed her eyes, Which maid? It was Xiaowei! Su Yanyan pointed in a direction, Xiaowei messed it up! Everyones gaze immediately followed her pointing finger. Su Yuntang swiftly moved few steps, pulling a inly dressed pretty girl towards himself, Tell us clearly, whats going on? I dont know, I really dont know anything! Xiaowei, who was initially excited to watch the chaos, was startled when suddenly she was dragged into the center. Su Yanyan pointed at her usingly, How can you mess things up! How dare you mix up the dresses, did you do it on purpose? Scared, Xiaoweis teardrops fell, Miss Yanyan, I didnt do it, you gave me the clothes ah! A sharp p knocked her face sideways, quickly turning into a fiery red handprint. Didnt you deliver the dress to the Huo family that day? Su Yanyan demanded angrily. But I never opened itah! Dare to quibble! Su Yanyan lifted her hand, smacking another p onto her face. Miss, I really didnt Su Yanyan was about to raise her hand again Enough! Su Wanwan stepped forward, pulling her hand away and giving her a forceful shove, Ive been overseas for two full years and I dont even know who Xiaowei is. Why would she switch out my dress? Moreover, why would she nt a needle in it to stab me? nt a needle? The crowd gasped in shock. Is this a pce drama? This isnt Su Yanyan, its madam Rong! This is a real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Pce! So terrifying Su Yanyan nearly fell on the ground, barely steady herself when Su Xueqins voice rang out angrily. Yanyan, his piercing eyes were icy, voice colder and stern, how do you exin this? It was Xiaowei! She switched the dresses and also put the needle inside! Su Yanyan pointed at Xiaowei, refusing to back down. She had initially calcted it this way. The day when Su Wanwan hadnt opened the box with the dress, she would not realize it was swapped, and even if she was pricked by a needle, it would seem like an ident. If this incident came out at todays wedding, she could entirely push all the me onto the maid. But she hadnt expected that it would escte so much But now in front of everyone, she could only protect herself this way. I didnt I really didnt Master, I didnt do it, I really didnt Xiaoweis face was swollen and red, her mouth bleeding, she cried in despair. Only now she realized why Miss Yanyan had specifically asked her toe and help at the hotel today. She was a student at Nancheng University from a financially distressed family. She only came to work as a temporary maid in the Su family during summer break, doing daily chores at the Su vi. Normally, she wouldnt be involved in courtly events like a hotel wedding Scoundrel! The one speaking was Su Yuntang, We pay you to work, not to harm others! Having said that, he immediately called the driver standing nearby, Lao Wu, throw her out immediately! Settle her pay and dismiss her! She doesnt need to work here ever again! Chapter 81 - 81: 081,1 find it dirty Chapter 81:1 find it dirty Trantor: 549690339 Okay, sir. Old Wu began to drag the servant out. Just at that moment. Wait. Su Yuntang was stunned, looking up into those calm yet deeply hidden and wide ck eyes, his heart couldnt help but thump. Since thest time he suffered secretly from Huo Jingshen at the Su Familys, his perception of this son-inw had be a bitplicated. Calm on the surface, yet secretly fierce. He had even looked up Huo Jingshens background, with little information to be found, only knowing that at a young age he had established his own business empire in Europe, without using any connections or resources from the Huo Family. How could a mere thirty-year-old achieve this without extraordinary intelligence, deep scheming, even ruthless and decisive means? Not to mention Su Yuntang was feeling slightly guilty himself at the moment. As expected. Chasing the servants away so casually, isnt that a bit rash? Huo Jingshen s tone was indifferent, but instantly ignited agreement from the crowd. Huos right. The servant cried so pitifully, she didnt seem to be lying. It feels like she was beaten into confession. Did the bride really hide the needle on purpose? The old master of the Xing Family frowned deeply. At his gesture, Huo Qinyu reluctantly stepped forward under pressure, Ashen, let it be, everything has been clearly investigated, shes just a servant, maybe she was just confused for a moment Oh? Huo Jingshens voice was cold, but carried a heavy sense of oppression, She was confused for a moment and thus threw dirty water on my daughter-inw. As the mother-inw, do you, Aunt, intend to just let it go? Huo Qinyu choked on her words, with no choice but to plow on, Today is Yuyun and Yanyans joyous day, there are many journalists here, it wouldnt be good to make a big fuss about it Su Wanwan silentlyughed. Actually, she had mentioned casually just now that the needle in the dress pricked Huo Zhexi. It could have been intentional, or it might have been simply an ident. She didnt expect Su Yanyan to immediately me it all on the servant, not surprised by this incident at all, like a mere admission of guilt. In the past, she thought of her little sister as a white lotus, who liked to y the victim and was scheming, but now it seems that the white lotus has grown up and her heart has turned ck. I really didnt hide the needle, sir, madam, young miss Xiaowei, seeing a change in the situation, suddenly began to scream again. There were already people taking out their phones to film, and journalists directly hoisting up their cameras, looking to conduct interviews. For a moment, the whole scene became noisy, in utter chaos. Old Master Xing clenched his dragon-headed cane, his features tight and his face ashen. Having served in the armed forces for so many years, he had always acted steadfastly, upright, and open-minded, never having had such a loss of face before! Su Xueqins face was also unpleasant to look at because the current situation seemed somewhat out of control. Grandma! Xing Siqing suddenly screamed. Huo Qinyu turned around and hurried over, Mom, Mom, are you okay? It turned out the Old Lady of the Xing Family had fainted. Old Master Xing, after a moment of surprise, immediately gave the order, Call the ambnce! The Xing family immediately sprang into action. Xing Guozhi quickly stepped onto the stage, took up the microphone and said, Thank you all for attending my sons wedding today. Due to my mothers sudden fainting, the wedding banquet ends here. Thank you, and thank you all. Huo Jingshen stood there, watching the bustling journalists suddenly change their interview direction due to this change of events. He narrowed his eyes; his thin lips revealed a hint of amusement. In the end, this farce ended with Old Lady Xings sudden fainting. Old Lady Xing was taken away in an ambnce. The onlookers who had gathered around to watch also quickly dispersed. In the hall, only a few people from both families remained. Its all my fault. Su Yanyan clutched at her dress, making sure not to reveal herself, and giving off a fragile and helpless aura, This dress is indeed my sisters, its all my fault for not checking it carefullyst night. Since I was in a hurry in the dressing room, I had to put it on, I didnt expect to cause such a big problem. After the wedding, Ill immediately take it off and give it back to my sister. When she finished speaking, she lowered her head and started sobbing softly. Su Wanwan sneered internally. All the guests had already left, so who the hell was she still performing for? She lowered her head, caressing the jade bracelet on her left wrist, with azy and contemptuous tone, Forget it, I find it dirty. Since you like it so much, just keep it. Su Yanyan froze, her face hidden beneath her hair contorted in an almost dreadful expression. * * At the instruction of Old Master Xing, security was checking the phones, cameras, and other items of guests at the halls entrance. However It seems like Su Yanyans scandal today cannot be suppressed. After all, in this Inte age, some spectators have already posted photos and live-streamed videos of the incident. Just as expected, as soon as Su Wenwen casually opened Weibo, numerous headlines had taken over the screen. [Explosive! The bride dares to expose herself to steal the spotlight!] [Hidden needles in the wedding dress, real-life story of treachery!] [Spoiled young miss reveals true character, gets exposed while crying!] [Wealthy sisters fight over a man, wedding bes a scandalous feud!] Even if the Su and Xing Families could use their media connections to delete all these posts soon, right now, Su Yanyan was undoubtedly at the eye of the storm. The two elders of the Xing Family have always been very concerned about their reputation, so for a while, Su Yanyan would likely be confined to the house. Chapter 82 - 82: 082, Several Gossipy Women Chapter 82: Several Gossipy Women Trantor: 549690339 Wanwan. Mo Weiyi suddenly grabbed her wrist, Come to the restroom with me, the driver wont be here for another half an hour. Okay. Su Wanwan put down her phone, looked at Huo Jingshen, You were going to thepany, right? You can go ahead, I will return with Weiyiter. Huo Jingshen didnt say a word, just looking at her expressionlessly. That look Su Wanwan blinked her clear eyes, feeling a little scared inside. Mo Weiyi also leaned in her ear, whispering gossip, Whats wrong with your man, Huo? Is he angry? His face is as dark as a pot. How should Su Wanwan know? Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes and said, Dont worry, President Huo, I will safely send Wanwan back to you! I appreciate it, Miss Mo. Huo Jingshen replied politely. Its no trouble at all! Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips, suddenly leaned into Su Wanwans ear, and said in a low voice, Ill take care of you when we get home tonight. With that, he turned and left. His back was tall and revealed a sense of pride. Su Wanwans face flushed because of his words. Such an old rascal Why is your face as red as a monkeys butt? Mo Weiyi was curious, What did President Huo say? Su Wanwan quickly turned around and walked away, Werent we going to the restroom? Lets go. Wait for me. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to follow. * * The restroom was at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the hotel. It was already past two in the afternoon, and most of the guests had left. Su Wanwan thought there would be no one, but as soon as she opened the door, she heard the gossipy voices of women inside. That Mo Weiyi is too nosy, its none of her business, why is she everywhere! Huh, nothing more than a lucky fool, born into the Mo family. And she found such a powerful husband! Haha, that Xiao Yebai is nothing more than a white-faced gigolo Su Wanwan froze, but before she could react, Mo Weiyi had already walked a few steps over, raising her slender and beautiful leg, her high heels bang knocked on the door of the stall. The restroom suddenly became silent. Keep talking! Mo Weiyi kicked the door again, her pretty face full of rage. Nobody dared to say anything more. Dare to say but not to admit? Mo Weiyi sneered. She pulled back her leg, crossed her arms, and said arrogantly, Ill stand right here today, unless youre bold enough to nevere out of the stall! And forever being coward. Xiao Yebai is the adopted son of the Mo Family, everyone in Nancheng knows that. The Mo Family only had one child for several generations, Mo Yaoxiong has only this beloved daughter, Mo Weiyi who turned twenty this year . She has no business acumen, only studiedw, so someone has to take over the Mo Family business, and Xiao Yebai is undoubtedly the best candidate. Two years after marrying Mo Weiyi, Xiao Yebai transferred from being a manager to the position of president of the Mo Group. He is talented and ruthless; in just two years, he has rapidly expanded the scale of the Mo Group, doubled the stock price, and has chain hotels spread across the globe. No matter how outstanding he is, it still doesnt change the fact that his surname is Xiao and not Mo. Given the Mo Familys current dominant position in Nancheng, plus Xiao Yebais stern and resolute personality, even if anyone had a problem with this, they would only dare to think about it in their hearts and not dare to gossip openly. Yet now, such extremely insulting remarks have been heard by Mo Weiyi. Su Wanwan knows her very well, she could be indifferent about anything, but if ites to Xiao Yebai, sorry, she wont let it go easily. Everyone has their taboo. And Xiao Yebai is Mo Weiyis taboo. Weiyi, Im going to call the security. Su Wanwan immediately said. No need. Mo Weiyi kept a straight face. These are just a few gossipy women, I can handle them. Su Wanwan had no choice but to wait there with her. Finally, after a soft rustling sound, the stall door was opened, and a young woman in her early twenties walked out of it. She was also dressed up, probably here to attend todays wedding. Su Wanwan remembered, she seemed to be an external granddaughter of the Chu Family? Mo Weiyi squinted her eyes at her, then scoffed, I thought who it is, it turns out to be just the external granddaughter of the Chu Family. So what, do you like to gossip behind others backs that much, do you need me to give Grandpa Chu a call to give you a reminder? The girls face changed, but very quickly, she clenched her teeth and said, Mo Weiyi, dont think you can do whatever you want just because youre the miss of the Mo Family! So you also know that Im the miss of the Mo Family. Mo Weiyi looked at her,ughing arrogantly, Then do you believe that with just one sentence from me, I can make your familyspany go bankrupt immediately! You dare! The adjacent stall door also opened, the girl who came out held the first girl and persuaded, Let it go, Manman. She immediately apologized, Miss Mo, we were wrong, we shouldnt have badmouthed President Xiao behind his back, forgive us this time. Coward! The girl named Manman was very angry, Why are you backing down? Are you really that scared of her? Her friend didnt answer, but obviously, she was really scared of Mo Weiyi. Or to be more precise, afraid of the Mo Family. If you are the Chu Familys external granddaughter, of course you dont have to be afraid, as at least you have the Chu Family as your strong backing. But she, without a prominent family, or background, was just here to attend Su Yanyans wedding, and then to gossip on the side Who would have thought that she would get caught by the parties involved.. Chapter 83 - 83: 083, Xiaobai is one of the top ten outstanding young people Chapter 83: Xiaobai is one of the top ten outstanding young people Trantor: 549690339 | If she really offends the Mo Family because of this, affecting her ownpanys business, then she would be the sinner of her whole family. Even if the Mo Family doesnt respond, being targeted by Mo Weiyi would make her life difficult. They both study at the same university. Mo Weiyi is the schools beauty and has countless admirers. Sometimes she even carries bodyguards with her Who would dare to offend her? Miss Jian, you dont seem worried that yourpany will go bankrupt? Mo Weiyi continued to smirk. Jian Xiaoman listened to her arrogant tone, so high and mighty. All her willfulness, arrogance, and conceit To her, they are all justifiable. Feeling impulsive, she dared to confront her, Mo Weiyi, you know whether what I said is true or not! The angrier you are, the more it shows that Im telling the truth! Are you upset that Ive hit a nerve? Mo Weiyiughed in anger, her delicate finger curling around her hair ends, her extended tone making her sound arrogant, Xiaobai graduated from the best research institute in M Country at the age of twenty, and got his double Ph.D. in MBA and economics two yearster. He is proficient in six or sevennguages, has level 10 certification in piano and violin, and entered the Mo Group after he came back to China. Within three years, he went from a basic salesman to the managers position. After serving as the executive president for two years, the stock price of the Mo Group multiplied by more than ten times. A few days ago, he was even voted one of the top ten most outstanding youths in the country by a leading business magazine With each statement of his aplishments, Jian Xiaomans face changed color. By the end, she was extremely embarrassed. Go check the size of the puddle you just peed, based on you, a waste who cant even pass a third-rate university, where do you get the nerve? What qualifications do you have to criticize my Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi finished,ughing at Jian Xiaoman, Not just you, but even the entire Chu Family doesnt have the qualifications to judge my man! Mo Weiyi, dont go too far! Jian Xiaoman was a bit infuriated, So, this is how the Mo Familys daughter speaks, without any quality? Well, I suddenly realized youre just the granddaughter of the Chu Family, I shouldnt be so unqualified to involve the Chu Family. Mo Weiyi raised her eyebrow, her proud and mboyantugh resounding, So lets talk about your Jian Family, who in your Jian Family has this qualification? Is it your father who was caught in bed with his mistress by your mother? Or your prodigal brother who lost all his pants in gambling and got on the gossip newspaper? Besides scandals, does your Jian Family have any presence in Nancheng? Under Jian Xiaomans face that had turned both red and white from mockery and anger, Mo Weiyi suddenly reached out and pulled the white handbag in her hand, When did driiol start disying its brand on the outside? Jian Xiaomans face turned pale, and she hurriedly hid the handbag behind her. This handbag is thetest model of driiol, worth tens of thousands. Recently, her older brother had just incurred a butt-load of debt from gambling, and the family was in great difficulty. She didnt have the money to buy this bag at all. But because she was attending Su Yanyans wedding today, although not all of the real tycoons of Nancheng came, there were still many young masters anddies in the circle present. In such asions, what was being disyed were brands, attire, and personal connections. If you dont have it, you need to pretend you do! How else to break into high society? She had been shopping online for a long time, and the shop owner said that many celebrities bought high-quality imitation goods from his shop and no one could tell whether they were real or fake. She had deliberately shown off in front of Su Yanyan before the wedding ceremony, and many people praised her for looking good. No one noticed, but now Wearing cheap dresses, using imitation bags, average looks, and vulgar temperament, who gave you the nerve to evaluate the man of me, Mo Weiyi? Mo Weiyi was toozy to argue anymore, her beautiful little face suddenly darkened, and she coldly said, Say youre sorry! And promise never to do it again! For Grandfather Chus sake, I might consider letting you go. Otherwise This is not Mo Familys territory. If you dare to touch me, Ill call the police right away! Ill make sure you regret it! Jian Xiaoman was being publicly humiliated and threatened for the first time. After all, she was the granddaughter of the Chu Family, even Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun had to be somewhat polite to her! Su Wanwan had been standing by and listening for a while, and the more she listened, the more her head ached. This Jian Xiaoman really wasnt going to stop until she destroyed herself, getting caught talking behind someones back, couldnt she just apologize and let it go? She had to confront her. And she even started arguing with Weiyi. Although Mo Weiyi is sweet and adorable and has always maintained an appealing princess image, what did her grandpa do in his early years? Now he pretty much controls both the white cor and the underworld. As a granddaughter who had seen it all from a young age, if you think she is just as sweet and harmless as she looks, then youre wrong. Jian Xiaoman had already taken out her phone to call no, but the call was intercepted before she could finish the number. With a pop, Mo Weiyi threw the phone against the wall, and it fell back to the ground, broken into pieces. How dare you break my phone? Jian Xiaomans face turned green. Apologize! Mo Weiyis eyes were as cold as ice. Jian Xiaoman gritted her teeth and finally couldnt hold back, she screamed and lunged over. Mo Weiyi engaged her in a fight directly. Manman! The other girl also came to help. As a best friend, Su Wanwan naturally needed to help her friend. So, without a second word, she rolled up her sleeves and joined in. For a moment, the bathroom was a mess with four young girls fighting. * Huo Yuan Groups headquarters. Just as Huo Jingshen returned to his office after a tedious two-hour meeting, Ji Jie rushed in, Not good, not good, not good! Huo Jingshen looked at him, his face somber and a little gloomy. Under immense pressure, Ji Jie hurriedly reported, Mr. Huo, your wife got into a fight with three women and made a scene at the police station. The police called your private number. Since you were in a meeting, I took the liberty of answering it.. Chapter 84 - 84: 084, did you marry a stray cat? Chapter 84: did you marry a stray cat? Trantor: 549690339 After that, he immediately starteding up with a strategy, Mr. Huo, you should hurry to the police station. If we wait too long, your wife may be at a disadvantage! Also, Ill call Lawyer Lu right away. With him around, those who dared to bully your wife wont get away with it! No need. Huo Jingshen tly refused. Her, disadvantaged? It would be fortunate if others arent disadvantaged by her. Also One should never air dirtyundry in public. He pressed his slender, bony fingers to his temples, then stood. Ill go to the police station. Contact me if anything happens. Very well, Mr. Huo. One more thing, Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped. From now on, avoid touching my phone. Ji Jie was quick to exin, Mr. Huo, your phone kept ringing, and I was afraid youd miss something important I dont like repeating myself. Huo Jingshen said, then left. Ji Jie stood there, shivering. God, what an impossible task hed been given by his boss.? The young master of the Huo Family seemed refined, but he had a nasty temper and was hard to read. It was very hard to serve him whether you do much or too little. Despite all his effort studying the young masters habits and preferences day and night, he was on the verge of going bald as a millennial * * * Wanwan, when will your Mr. Huo arrive? At the police station, Mo Weiyi sat, her hair tangled, her mouth puckered, looking utterly helpless. Ive made several calls, but his assistant keeps picking up, Su Wanwan said. She then suggested, Why not call Xiaobai? No! Mo Weiyi immediately shook her head. He cant know about this. She had to protect her man from any harm! Then, how about calling Uncle Mo? Su Wanwan proposed again. No way! Mo Weiyi vigorously shook her head. My dad would cause trouble for Xiaobai. Su Wanwan couldnt help but roll her eyes. Did you not notice that I didnt dare tell anyone that Im Mo Weiyi? And you have the nerve to say that! Just thinking about it made Su Wanwan seethe. Because Mo Weiyi was too timid to give her name and imed she didnt have her ID, and since Nancheng was hosting a state leader and the local police officers didnt recognize her, she was treated as a non-local and taken to the police station. Ah, Wanwan, please make another call to Mr. Huo, Mo Weiyi started to whine. Im hungry, tired, and thirsty. Ill faint if we dont leave soon Su Wanwan looked at her, her mouth twitching. Was this the same high-society, elegant, and domineering Miss Mo who had been arguing non-stop earlier? Thankfully, once they got to the station, she wouldnt stop protesting. This forced the officers to separate her and Jian Xiaoman into different rooms. Otherwise, their spectacle would surely have been too much. Hurry up, Wanwan. Im really hungry. Please, my darling Wanwan, darling Wanwan Mo Weiyi said, pulling at her hand, swaying back and forth. Being good-looking and whiny, plus having incurred some minor injuries from the fight, all made her look absolutely pitiful. Su Wanwan was at her wits end. Having no other choice, she once again pulled out her phone and dialed the number. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Then she heard the ringing getting closer and closer Xiaoliu, this is Mr. Huo. Hearing the those words, Su Wanwan quickly raised her head. Beside her, Mo Weiyi was already enthusiastically greeting him, Mr. Huo, hi! The tall, upright man entered, apanied by a personnel. His handsome face bore no expression as his gaze passed over them, his eyes ck and devoid of any emotion. Su Wanwans heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, he had already shifted his gaze. With Huo Jingshens arrival, the situation transformed instantly. Listening to him exined the whole situation in a few words, then signed, paid bail, and case was closed Once everything was done, a female personnel came over. You can leave once youve signed. When Huo Jingshen came over, Mo Weiyi was raring to go. Mr. Huo, could you ask the police to keep those two jerks in next room locked up for a few more days? Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen looked at her nkly. Deep grudge? Um, not really, hehe. Mo Weiyi instantly backed down. But she was still a little uneasy. When they were about to leave, she couldnt help but run over to the next room and intimidate the two. You two better keep your mouths shut about what happened today, or youll get more than a beating! Huo Jingshen took a nce. Those two women were obviously heavily injured. Their hair was a mess, their dresses torn, their faces bearing numerous scratches, as well as their legs and arms. They looked like theyd been badly beaten As for Mo Weiyi, there were also several red marks on her neck. The only one, Su Wanwan, apart from her hair and clothes being a little messy, was essentially unscathed. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. Had he married? A little wildcat? * * * Back in the car, Mu Shang had barely driven off before Mo Weiyi leaned over the passenger seat to whisper, Mr. Huo, could you please not let word get out about today? Sit back. His voice was low and stern. Okay. Mo Weiyi obediently sat back. Please, Mr. Huo, help me keep this a secret. I beg you, thank you. Without a nce at her, Huo Jingshen simply drove. If you knew this was going to happen, why did you start a fight? Once again, Mo Weiyi was left speechless, and she sadly closed her mouth. Really now, why are all men like this? Couldnt they be a little gentler when they speak? A little nicer? A few secondster, Mo Weiyi spoke up again. Can you at least send me to VM styling, Mr.. Huo? Chapter 85 - 85: 085, Xiaobai misses me, right? Chapter 85: Xiaobai misses me, right? Trantor: 549690339 This time, even Su Wanwan couldnt help but frown, Why are you trying to style yourself when your neck is bleeding? If Mr. Huo doesnt want to hide it for me, I can only hide it myself. Otherwise, Xiaobai will definitely ask questions when I go back, Mo Weiyi said with conviction. Su Wanwan wanted to roll her eyes, she sneered, Then go to the hospital, dont let it scar and get disliked by your Xiaobai. Right. Mo Weiyi had a sudden realization, Baby Wanwan, you understand me the best! Su Wanwan again: Mo Weiyi sat back down with a grin, finally having the time to check on her injury. Tsk. Looking at the two deep red scratches on her neck, Mo Weiyi was so angry that her pretty little face crinkled up. This damned Jian Xiaoman, shes just like a shrew, why does she keep her nails so long? How is she going to exin this to Xiaobai when she goes back? After putting away her makeup mirror, she leaned backwards and was suddenly poked by something. She picked it up to look. Holy shit! Mo Weiyis cat eyes widened dramatically. A womans earring? And its a gaudyrge red pearl one! It couldnt be Su Wanwans, right? That girl hardly ever wears jewelry, let alone anything in such a tacky style and color. Could it be Did Huo Jingshen sneak around and cheat? Did the two of them happen to have a car tryst right here? Damn! Mo Weiyi moved her butt a bit ufortably, suddenly feeling ufortable all over. * * At the hospital, Huo Jingshens phone suddenly rang while the doctor was treating the injury. After he left the nurses room, Mo Weiyi immediately asked, Wanwan, have you lost anything recently? No. Really? Think again carefully, Mo Weiyi decided to first figure out if that earring was this girls. Su Wanwan furrowed her eyebrows and then shook her head, Really, I havent lost anything. Really? Su Wanwan looked at her, suddenly getting serious, Whats wrong with you? Did you find my money? How much did you find? Mo Weiyi: * * In the corridor, Huo Jingshen answered the call. Jingshen, Ziyang is taking the flight to Nancheng on the 27th. Is he running away from home again? Huo Jingshen frowned, Hes too precocious, you shouldnt tell him so much. Thats not the point. Fu Xihan apparently did not want to borate, I dont have time to take care of him recently. I n to send him back to China to attend primary school. So? Youre married now, so its perfect timing. Have a taste of what life is like with a child, Fu Xihan said matter-of-factly. Can I refuse? Huo Jingshen massaged his temple. Taking care of a twenty-year-old was headache enough, and now a five-year-old too? Apart from you, I cant find anyone else who can take better care of him. Huo Jingshen: * * When they went back to the nurses room, Mo Weiyis injury had already been treated. Tworge pieces of gauze were attached to her neck, very eye-catching. Seeing Huo Jingshen, she immediately spoke, Mr. Huo, my phone is broken and I cant use it. Ill add you on WeChat when I get home, remember to ept it. Huo Jingshen didnt react, Lets go after youre done. Half an hourter. Outside the vi of the Mo family, Mo Weiyi got out of the car and Mu Shang immediately turned around and left. She carefully put the earring in her bag, turned around and walked into the courtyard. As soon as she pushed open the door of the vi, she heard the drivers excited voice, Princess, youre finally back! Uncle Liu, whats wrong? After a flurry of footsteps, a tall, aloof man came into view. He was dressed in a ck shirt and trousers, his handsome face serious and indifferent behind his sses. The setting sun shone from behind him, casting a mysterious shadow on his face. Xiaobai, why are you home so early? Mo Weiyi was both shocked and pleased. Ever since Xiao Yebai became the CEO of the Mo Group, he had been busy working and socializing, and rarely ever returned home this early. The man put his hands in his trouser pockets. Behind his sses, a pair of sharp eyes scanned her from head to toe, Get into a fight? No. Mo Weiyi quickly covered her neck, I I just encountered two cute puppies, I wanted to bring them home, but they scratched me. Xiao Yebai walked up to her, his slender and handsome fingers suddenly lifting her left arm, Did the dog scratch you like this? On Mo Weiyis left elbow, there was a big red and swollen bruise. That was where she hit the wall when Jian Xiaoman pushed her. Mo Weiyi was very guilty, blinking her beautiful cat eyes, and suddenly hugging the mans strong arm, Hey, you didnt tell me why you came home so early? Did you miss me? Huh? Xiaobai, you missed me, right? Your phone was unreachable, Liu was worried that something might have happened to you. Compared to her enthusiasm, Xiao Yebais tone was always cold, almost devoid of any inflection. Mo Weiyi hurriedly said, I lost my phone, and I dont remember Uncle Lius number, it was Wanwan who brought me back. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything, his ck eyes slightly squinted behind the sses, just staring at her coldly. Really! Mo Weiyi raised her little hand to swear, and then pouted like a cute child, If you dont believe me, you can ask Wanwan, why would I lie to you? His Adams apple bobbed once, and Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze, Liu, you can go first. Okay, Mr. Xiao. Liu wiped his sweat, turned around and left. He even kindly helped them close the door on his way out.. Chapter 86 - 86: 086, would you like to have a candlelight dinner? Chapter 86: would you like to have a candlelight dinner? Trantor: 549690339 Suddenly, only the two of them remained in the spacious living room. Mo Weiyi couldnt resist stepping onto her tiptoes and slightly lifting her chin, looking at the handsome jawline of the man in front of her. With a coquettish whisper, she said, Xiaobai, give me a kiss. Xiao Yebai stood there, his eyes slightly downcast. There were two pieces of gauze stered on Mo Weiyis neck, and an obvious swelling on her fair cheek. Her delicate curly hair was slightly disheveled, and there were some dirt marks on the cor of her dress. But none of these things detracted from her distinctively youthful and exquisite appearance, especially those attractive cat eyes. At this moment, they were slightly squinted, and her eyes were curved up in a smile, resembling An innocent, naive little kitten, pining for its masters affection. A glimmer of emotion shed through the depths of his obscure eyes. Afterward, Mo Weiyi couldnt resist chuckling as she saw the red lipstick smeared on the corners of the mans dainty mouth. Xiao Yebai, with his towering height of 188 cm, always favored wearing dark-colored shirts and dress pants. Apanied by his naturally cold and paleplexion, delicately handsome features, and profound facial contours, he always looked aloof and untouchable, giving off the impression of an elite gentleman. But right now, the sight of him was oddly enticing! This enticing yet handsome Xiaobai was her man. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butpliment herself about her excellent choice of a husband. From the moment 15-year-old Xiao Yebai, dressed in white shirt and ck trousers, stepped into the Mo familys home ten years ago, she had set her sights on him. After relentless pursuit over eight years, he finally became her husband, and now they had been married for almost two years Mo Weiyi restedfortably in the mans broad embrace, her arms gently encircling his neck, her voice soft, Xiaobai, dont you have any social obligations tonight? Xiao Yebai gazed at her, his dark eyes obscured by his sses. Shall we go for a candlelit dinner tonight? And perhaps buy a new phone while were at it? Not waiting for his response, Mo Weiyi quickly added, No more using work as an excuse to deny me. Just think, when was thest time we had a candlelit dinner together? Dont you feel sorry for this little wife of yours? While she understood his work kept him busy and his responsibility toward managing the vast Mo Family required him to be exceptional, so as to put her fathers mind at ease, she, as his wife, felt a bit neglected. Atst, Xiao Yebai replied, his voice as aloof and deep as ever, Youre injured. Uh Mo Weiyi mentally cursed Jian Xiaoman hundreds of times and reluctantly suggested, Then lets have the chef Dihong cook for us at home instead. We can have our candlelit dinner there. Werent we talking about hiring two Michelin star chefs recently? Lets have them both over. What do you think? The naive princess seemed to feel that all her demands were perfectly justified and that everyone had to revolve around her, oveing all obstacles to serve her. Xiao Yebais thin lips curved into a trace of a cold smirk as he responded, Sounds good. Yay! Mo Weiyi released her hold on him excitedly, Ill make the arrangements right away! She hopped over to the sofa and sat down, started looking for the phone numbers, and made phone calls to arrange for the chefs, sorting out the details She was full of enthusiasm and excitement. Xiao Yebai simply watched as the petite woman bustled about. After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze and walked into the study. * * * Meanwhile, as soon as Mo Weiyi got out of the car, the absence of her chattering created an eerie quietness inside the vehicle. Su Wanwan sat there, and couldnt help but sneak a sideways glimpse. Huo Jingshen was impassive while driving, showing no signs of emotion. When they arrived home, Su Wanwan saw KO running around in the yard from a distance off and hurriedly said, You go and tie up the dog. Huo Jingshen remained silent. After parking the car, he took the key and walked away without batting an eyelid. Su Wanwan widened her eyes. Damn, what kind of attitude was that? Ignoring the dog was one thing, but not speaking to her at all? Seeing him walk further and further away without any intention of looking back, Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and hurriedly got out of the car, following closely behind him like a little follower. Woof! KOs booming bark echoed through the air. Su Wanwan shrieked in fright, sprinted over in a few steps, and mbered onto the mans back, her hands tightly grasping his neck as if climbing up a tree. Huo Jingshen: Ahhh! KO trotted over, circled around the two, constantly getting closer with its snout in an attempt to express its affection The air filled with a strange and scorching animal scent which scared Su Wanwan so much that her voice trembled, Hurry, hurry up and go, go! The mans tall and indifferent figure stood still, letting her struggle on him until Su Wanwan yelled, Honey! Only then did he speak, KO. Oooh KO obediently squatted down, its wet eyes watching its master with a wronged expression. Hurry, hurry and go! Su Wanwan strained her voice, abruptly scratching the mans shoulder de. Her nails were a bit long. It was a little painful. Huo Jingshen instantly thought of the scratched faces of those two women in the police station The little girl needed a manicure. Huo Jingshen raised his hand, grasping her delicate ankle. Carrying her on his back, he headed for the vi.. Chapter 87 - 87: 087, a knight can be killed, but not insulted! Chapter 87: a knight can be killed, but not insulted! Trantor: 549690339 As soon as they entered the living room, Aunt Liu, who was cleaning, jumped in fright. Hmm, Mr. Huo really loves his wife. He either carries her or piggybacks her every day, just like hes pampering a daughter. Aunt Liu, you can leave for the day, Huo Jingshen instructed. Okay, sir. Huo Jingshen then carried Su Wanwan upstairs. Once they got into the room, he unceremoniously dumped her onto the bed. So rough and ungentlemanly. After being tossed roughly, Su Wanwan felt dizzy. It took her a while to regain her bearings on the bouncy mattress. Regaining her voice, she started scolding him, Are you mad? Why exert so much force? Are you trying to kill me? Huo Jingshen closed the bedroom door, his handsome face solemn and contemtive. Su Wanwan was taken aback. Before she could react, Huo Jingshen had swiftly closed the distance between them. What are you going to do? Su Wanwan, her scalp tingling in fear, quickly turned to get away from him, You should know, its broad daylight! Before she knew it, hisrge hands gripped her, pulling her back while his deep, maic voice asking ominously, What difference does daylight make? Su Wanwan couldnt help but tremble minutely. Resultingly Why are you trembling? Huo Jingshens tone was clearly teasing. Su Wanwan blinked: I dont want to tremble either! But Oh damn, I cant help it! You manage to stir up trouble in such a short time. So capable, but why are you scared now? Huh? As Huo Jingshen spoke, he gave a forceful tug. With a ripping sound, her skirt was torn open. Inside, Su Wanwan cringed. Such a costly, gorgeous, and rare evening gownjust casually ripped apart? Hes acting just like a nouveau riche tycoon! And she was only wearing it for the first time Su Wanwan tried to exin, Those two women started it first, I couldnt just let them bully Weiyi together, could I? So, you think youre being loyal? Of course! Weiyi is my best friend. Shes delicate and doesnt have much strength to fight back. As a good friend, I must stand up for her! Su Wanwan retorted righteously. Huo Jingshen chuckled and with another rip! Su Wanwan: Very quickly, her evening gown was ripped to shreds and pulled off her. The fading sunlight streamed in through the French windows. While she was in a disheveled state, the man before her was still immactely dressed, his posture dominant as he loomed over her. Su Wanwan: Forget it. Let it be. Just treat it as if she has been wronged once again. She had already suffered indignity once by his hands anyway. Could she not just grit her teeth and bear it this time? However As the seconds ticked by, the anticipated scenario didnt y out. Uh Feeling awkward and curious, Su Wanwan couldnt resist sneaking a peek over her shoulder. Huo Jingshen maintained his original position, his beautiful thin lips tightly pressed together, his gaze focused, even his brows were furrowed slightly. The little wound on her ankle from the previous incident was almost healed. She wasnt seriously injured today apart from arge, prominent bruise on her knee Watching her, Huo Jingshen suddenly pressed hard over the bruise on her knee. Ouch! Su Wanwan instantly grimaced in pain, groaning, It hurts Let go! Let go, its killing me Only now you realize pain? Huo Jingshen finally withdrew his hand, his gaze sharp as daggers. Will you fight again? Su Wanwan was slightly taken aback. Uh, was he actually concerned about her? Did he rip her clothes off just to check she wasnt hurt from the fight? Could he be that considerate? Sure enough I dont want to see a dirty girl. Go, clean yourself. Su Wanwans assumption was confirmed, and she retorted, red-faced and indignant, No! Friggin! Hes asking her to clean herself up too? What an attitude! He was treating her like an ancient courtesan preparing for a client! A person can be killed but not humiliated! No? In that case, I dont mind helping you, Huo Jingshen said magnanimously and reached out as if to help. Aaaaah! Su Wanwan screamed, quickly rolled to the side of the bed and jumped off, Ill wash myself! Isnt that good enough? Huo Jingshen withdrew his hand, coolly slipped it back into his trouser pocket, lips curving satisfactorily. Even his tone was unusually pleased, Good girl. You good girl in hell! Su Wanwan grimaced at him and quickly ran into the bathroom, hands covering herself. Concerned about her? He was nothing but a shameless jerk. Undoubtedly the most perverse, unscrupulous kind! Despicable! * * * Twenty minutester, Su Wanwan, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out of the bathroom. Ahem! No reaction? Ahem Ahem! On the sofa, alerted by the cough, Huo Jingshen finally lifted his eyes to look at the little girl grinning like a mischievous fox. You cant touch me tonight, Su Wanwan said, her eyes curved in a satisfied smile as she reveled in her triumph. Huo Jingshen remained expressionless. Because Su Wanwan deliberately dragged out her words, and then quickly said, Im on my period! Hahaha! Looking at his suddenly dark expression, Su Wanwans smile widened even more.. Chapter 88 - 88: 088, The Drama Queen’s Assistant is Chapter 88: The Drama Queens Assistant is Limitlessly Imaginative Trantor: 549690339 No wonder she felt ufortable in her lower abdomenst night. It turns out she just got her period. It was a lifesaver. Huo Jingshen squinted his ck pupils and stared at her, smugness shown in her face. Crap! Su Wanwan had to reevaluate him again. Was he still not willing to let her go even in this state? He must be a pervert, right? She blinked her eyes, thinking of a strategy when her phone suddenly rang. She ran to the phone with a sense of reprieve, Hello? Wanwan, its me. Qiao Zixin? Whats up? Could you give me Huos phone number? I need to discuss something with him. Why did everyone suddenly want his phone number? Mo Weiyi wanted it in the afternoon and now Qiao Zixin does too? Su Wanwan looked at a certain someone suspiciously, remaining guarded, What is it? Just some work-rted stuff. I would like to seek some advice from Mr. Huo. Qiao Zixin answered politely. She has already figured it out. She deliberately left her earring in Huo jingshens carst night. It would seem too deliberate if she called hun right after. Su Wanwan may be simple, but Huo Jingshen was not easily fooled. It would not be good if she ended up shooting herself in the foot. So she deliberately waited until after the wedding day, first using a work-rted reason. If all else fails, she could just mention the earring. After all, Su Wanwan was her cousin. It was normal for rtives to help each other at work, so it shouldnt raise any suspicions. What kind of work-rted stuff? Su Wanwan asked again. Qiao Zixin had to make up another excuse, Our magazine is nning to do a series of interviews, and Mr. Huo is currently a prominent figure in Nancheng. Since were now family, could you do me a favor and let me interview him? An interview? Su Wanwan looked towards the man on the couch, My cousin wants to interview you, would you No. Su Wanwan ryed the message immediately, He said no. Qiao Zixin: Hang up, he said. Wait a minute! Qiao Zixin halted her, Theres one more thing. Su Wanwan felt that her cousin had been causing more problems than usual. Ive lost one of my earrings, and I cant find it anywhere. That earring was a gift from my ex-boyfriend, and I really liked it. Even though we broke up, its still a sort of memento he left me. Qiao Zixin feigned a sigh, Wanwan, could you ask Mr. Huo to look for it in his car? I rode his car yesterday, so it mightve fallen off in there. If he finds it, I cane over to pick it up right away, it wont be an inconvenience. Su Wanwan turned to the man on the couch again, My cousin said she lost her earring in your car. No, he replied. He said no, she ryed to her cousin. Qiao Zixin: Hang up. * * Qiao family. After being hung up on, Qiao Zixin was so angry her face turned green. This damn girl. She only wanted his phone number and she would not give it despite her constant nagging. She was forced to mention the earrings and in the end, he didnt even bother to look for it and just said theres none of it. That pair of earrings was a luxury brand she had bought from an overseas shopping spree, and they cost several thousand yuan. She usually didnt dare to wear them and had only put them on to dress up for that day. Now, not only had she failed to get Huo Jingshens phone number, but she had also lost one of the earrings This was truly a double loss. * * Just as Su Wanwan put down her phone, What the hell are you trying to do? Is this guy The sh? He moves so swiftly, its breathtaking! Huo Jingshen bent down and looked at her. Squinting his eyes, he asked in a low voice, What do you think? After that, he took a step forward. Frightened by his gaze, Su Wanwan could only mutter, But I just got my period. It doesnt matter, he said. Su Wanwan: Crap! Su Wanwan red at him, But my stomach hurts. Oh? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing her. Its true, my stomach hurts a lot, Su Wanwan quickly exined, When I went out for dinner with my cousin yesterday, I ate tworge cups of ice cream, and now Im experiencing severe period cramps. Huo Jingshen didnt speak, but after a few steps, he put her down. SU Wanwan was a little scared as she struggled to push him away, My stomach really hurts, get away, dont touch me A flicker of displeasure crossed the mans darkened eyes and brows. Only moments ago, he was not in the mood. Ah! Tears welled up from Su Wanwans eyes from the pain. What the hell? Is this guy part dog? Did he just bite her neck? -So jumpy that your stomach hurts? Huo Jingshen asked doubtfully, Baby, are you sure youre not lying to me? If Im lying, Im a dog, okay? Su Wanwan was about to explode with frustration. She was indeed in a little pain. She was okay earlier, but after such a rough struggle, the heavy feeling was rather ufortable. Ill check, he said. Check your sister! Su Wanwan red at him fiercely, Do you have no trust in me at all? Huo Jingshen: His temples throbbed with a pounding headache. After a while, he got up and left. When he returned to the bedroom, Su Wanwan was already sitting obediently on the couch. She did her pajamas up meticulously and looked at him with an innocent expression, Im hungry. Huo Jingshen didnt say a word. His handsome face was still gloomy as a dark cloud. I didnt eat anything at the wedding today, my stomach is now both hungry and hurting, can you help me order takeout? Huo Jingshen looked at her. The ce where she bit him earlier was obvious and rather startling, seemingly oozing a bit of blood. Plus her eyes were filled with two sparkling tears at the moment. It was unclear whether they were from the pain of his bite, or menstrual difort For some unknown reason, Huo Jingshen suddenly recalled the time when Jinghua would experience menstrual pain every month. The severest incident scared Fu Xihan so much that he directly took her to the hospital, threatening doctors with a gun. They were almost taken to the police station. Bringing himself back to the present, he indifferently responded: I dont eat takeout. -Then why did you send Aunt Liu away! Su Wanwan immediately used sharply. Huo Jingshens dark pupils narrowed, she immediately backed down, murmuring in a soft voice, Uh, anyway, I cant cook, so what am I supposed to eat if not takeout? 11 11 The room remained quiet. After a while, Huo Jingshen said, Come down to eat in an hour. With those words, he pulled open the bedroom door and left. * * 10 minutester, Su Wanwan, dressed in her pajamas, came downstairs. Upon reaching the living room, she could hear the nging soundsing from the kitchen. She walked over to take a look, nearly believing that she was going blind. Huo Jingshen was standing upright inside the kitchen Chopping vegetables? He had undone three buttons on his shirt cor, had his sleeves rolled up, held a vegetable knife in his hand, and was wearing a ck half-apron around his waist. His movements were swift, handsome, and proficient. Even though it was such a mundane task, he made it seem natural and harmonious, as if nothing could be more typical. Under the bright kitchen lights, a tall and mature man wearing a white shirt was cooking. It was like a scene from a South Korean drama Upon hearing a sound, he turned around, Drink the brown sugar water on the table. Why should I drink that? Su Wanwan reflexively asked. Arent you having a stomachache? Under his momentarily skeptical gaze, Su Wanwan quickly realized and went over to pick up the cup of brown sugar water. She took a sip and the warm liquid indeed made her feel morefortable. So, Su Wanwan stood in the kitchen, sipping, while watching the man work. The more she watched, the more it felt like a dream. He knew that women would have stomachaches during their periods and that brown sugar water could help. He even helped her prepare it, and was now cooking for her You didnt happen to buy the sanitary pads for me too, did you? Su Wanwan blurted. Huo Jingshen ced the freshly cut potato strips in a bowl filled with water Under the kitchen light his stern features looked a lot gentler, Someone will deliver them soon. Su Wanwan was stunned. Wow, what kind of extraordinary man did she marry? Handsome, rich, able to cook, and even prepared her brown sugar water when she was feeling ufortable. Is this how older men usually behave? Because of their abundant past rtionships? And so, they understood women better? The instant she thought of this, her fleeting feelings of being moved vanished, Su Wanwan frowned, gave a snort, put the brown sugar water back on the table, and turned around huffily to leave. Finish the brown sugar water. Su Wanwan stopped in her tracks. I dont like repeating myself. He spoke with a slightly harsher tone, exuding an undeniable authoritative pressure. As expected, all that gentle consideration, everything was an illusion! Su Wanwan took a few steps back, grudgingly picked up the ss of brown sugar water, drank it up, and then huffed off. * * In the living room, Su Wanwan yed the game Honor of Kings while leisurely sipping her brown sugar water. Just after she finished a tier match, the doorbell rang. Soon after, hurried footsteps could be heard. Ji Jie, holding a supermarket bag, rushed in. Upon seeing Su Wanwan, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, wearing pink pajamas with a bear pattern, and a very prominent hickey on her neck Ji Jies legs started trembling, and he almost dropped the bag he was holding. Indeed, dont judge a book by its cover, though President Huo appears to be refined, he could be absolutely ruthless. And how intensely passionate was he? He bit thedy so hard that it drew blood and was not willing to let go even during her special period? Tsk tsk tsk. It was simply. He didnt dare to look anymore, with eyes closed, he quiveringly said, Helhello, madam. Su Wanwan looked down at herself. She was wearing modest pajamas, there was nothing inappropriate about her appearance. Whats wrong with your eyes? Su Wanwan asked. II think I just got something in my eye As Ji Jie was halfway through his sentence, Huo Jingshen had alreadye out of the kitchen. With an apron on his body, and two dishes in his hands that were still emitting warm steam, he looked like an exemry homely man. Ji Jies eyes were instantly blinded again. My lord, is this the same aloof, haughty, and noble executive who always seems to float above the clouds? Hes actuallydoing housework? Where are the things? Huo Jingshen asked. Ji Jie quickly came back to his senses, Mr. Huo, here are the sanitary pads you needed. Pfft- Su Wanwan nearly spit her mouthful of the brown sugar water. Huo Jingshen took the bag and gave Ji Jie a sideway nce. Though he didnt say anything, his re was as sharp as a dagger, frightening Ji Jie into apologizing hastily: Sorry, Mr. Huo, I misspoke, not your sanitary pads, urn, I mean this isnt for you, its for madam You can leave now. Huo Jingshen cut him off, his face bing cold. Yes, Mr. Huo, I will leave now, goodbye Mr. Huo, goodbye Madam. After saying this, Ji Jie turned around and fled. If he stayed even one second longer, he feared his job might not be secure anymore.. Chapter 89 - 89: 089, is this a request for inspection? Chapter 89: is this a request for inspection? Trantor: 549690339 | Huo Jingshen tossed the bag onto the sofa, Go change, wash your hands, ande eat. Okay. Su Wanwan obediently leaves. When she returned, the entire living room seemed to be filled with the aroma of food. In the open kitchen, four dishes and a soup had already been set up on the table, all of which were very meticulously prepared and even artistically presented; it was a feast for the eyes and the pte that was sure to stimte the appetite. Su Wenwen immediately picks up a slice of meat with her chopsticks and puts it in her mouth. Its so delicious she could almost cry. Youre amazing, you even know how to cook, who taught you? Youre so good Its really yummySu Wanwan praised as she ate. Call me hubby. Huo Jingshen interrupted, his expression suddenly stern. Su Wanwan puckers her lips. Forget it then, she decided to stop praising him, instead focusing on her meal. Huo Jingshen raised his wine ss, poured himself a drink, and brought it to his lips. Can I have a little red wine? The youngdy started talking again. Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids, looking at her with a cold gaze, You want some? Su Wanwan nodded vigorously. She hadnt touched alcohol in a long time, and just the smell of the rich wine aroma was almost too much to bear. Looking eagerly at the wine ss in his hand, she couldnt help but lick her lips. This seems to be Lafite Huo Jingshen: The adams apple in his throat moved quickly, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, Youre on your period, you should stick to soup. Stingy! Su Wanwan huffed, burying her head to continue eating. But she had to admit, this old mans cooking was indeedmendable. Although it was justmon home-cooked dishes, each dish was made to a standard that was not inferior to a restaurants, especially such borate presentations apanied by red wine, making the ordinary act of cooking a meal seem aristocratic. Finally satisfied, Su Wanwan patted her stomach, feeling content from the inside out. Full? Huo Jingshen looked at her. Su Wanwan nodded, Can you cook from now on? His slender and beautiful fingers gently swirled the liquid in the wine ss, and suddenly, he spoke, I cook for you, what will you do for me? Do Su Wanwan reacted btedly, her face instantly blushing a deep red. Oh God. Does he have to make such advances all day? Why are you blushing? Huo Jingshen watched her leisurely. That expression, just like a sly old fox. Su Wanwan chose to retreat, Tm going upstairs! Huo Jingshen sat there, ying with the wine ss in his hands, his dark eyes fell on her retreating figure. The room returned to quiet. The time was now over seven oclock in the evening. It should be eleven in the morning in the United Kingdom. * * As soon as Su Wanwan got upstairs, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she almost wanted to curse. Its Qiao Zixin again! Hello! Su Wanwan said, her tone abrasive. Wanwan, its me. Qiao Zixin was cautious, The thing is, I just searched carefully again and still cant find my earring. Could you help me look for it again, please? You could check the corners and underneath the backseat of the car. Please, that earring is really important to me. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Got it. After hanging up the phone, she returned downstairs again. However, there was no one to be found in the living room or the dining room. Noticing the balcony door open, she immediately walked over. You send me all the files from the orphanage back then, on Yan She only heard that much before the call ended. Huo Jingshen put down his phone and took a puff from the cigarette tucked between his lips. The sky was dark, the lights on the balcony were slightly dim, making his expression under the smoke seem even more enigmatic. What is it? Huo Jingshen asked. Su Wanwan blinked, Where are your car keys? Let me use them. For what? Whats with your attitude? Su Wanwan felt that he was acting mysterious, Are you afraid that Ill find another womans belongings in your car? Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips, Are you checking up on me, darling? Right, are you giving me the keys or not? Su Wanwan finished speaking and reached out her hand. Huo Jingshen looked at the small hand in front of him. Bright and tender, with long fingers, round and cute fingertips, and neatly trimmed nails with no nail polish. Beneath her raised eyebrows, his thin lips slowly exhaled smoke, his voice unrushed, Find it yourself, left pocket. With one hand holding a cigarette and the other a phone, he was clearly a little hindered. Without suspecting him, Su Wanwan steps forward and puts her hand into the left pocket of his suit pants, Theres nothing there! Are you an idiot? The left side. Who asked you not to be clear about whose left you were talking about? Is it my fault? Su Wanwan pulled back her hand and moved to the right pocket, she searched thoroughly, Still not there. Behind. Damn, why didnt you say so earlier? Su Wanwan cursed in frustration. After ring at him, she put her hand in the back pocket. Hmm. Who would have thought that the old mans figure would be so good? You cant really tell casually, but he even has muscles Suddenly, her wrist was caught by a strong hand. Huo Jingshen lowered his head, his deep ck pupils looking at the small girl who was a full head shorter than him, What do you want to do? Su Wanwan opened her clear eyes wide, looking innocent, pure and naive. Back and forth, left and right, youre not satisfied yet? Su Wenwen, again:. Chapter 90 - 90: 090, Xiaobai, do I look good like this? Chapter 90: Xiaobai, do I look good like this? Trantor: 549690339 Her body shivered, shaking with rage: You are you insane?! Am I insane? Huo Jingshens voice was low, but firm. Su Wanwan felt suddenly petrified by his intense gaze, II didnt do it on purpose. Who knew you Meaning, its all your fault! Oh? Huo Jingshen lifted his attractive lips. In the dim light, his handsome profile appeared somewhat wickedly charming: Then, tell me who I should me? Su Wanwans face paled. She felt as if her perceptions were about to shatter. Why on earth was she discussing this topic on the balcony with him? Aaaargh! I want a divorce! Su Wanwan screamed in desperation. What kind of man had she married? She! Wanted! A! Divorce! * * Lishui Bay Vi. After Mo Weiyi had finished taking a shower, he opened his newly delivered phone and the first thing he did was add Huo Jingshen on WeChat. But he didnt get a response for a long time. With no other option, he ended up calling Su Wanwan. The call got through quickly. Mo Weiyi leaned back,fortably reclining on his sofa, Baby Wanwan, what are you doing? Im busy. Su Wanwan panted slightly, Gotta hang up now, well talkter. Mo Weiyi blinked his clear cat-like eyes. Considering how Huo Jingshens WeChat hadnt responded for a while now, could it be possible that? Holy crap, are you doing naughty things with Mr. Huo right now? Cough cough! Cough! Su Wanwan choked out, Are you nuts? Im looking for something in the garage! Can you stop with the nonsense? Garage, huh? Mo Weiyi crooked his face, making a startling statement, So you can do it in the garage too? This location Hmm, she and Xiaobai havent tried that yet! Mo Xiaose! Can you be serious? Su Wanwan exined incredulously, My cousin said she lost a red earring in the car, she called several times insisting that I find it. Ive turned over the entire garage now and cant find anything. Im about to die from the heat Wait. Youre saying Qiao Zixin lost her earring in Mr. Huos car? Mo Weiyi interrupted her abruptly. Yes. When did this happen? Justst night, she suddenly asked me for dinner. After dinner, it was raining, so she got a ride with us. Now shes saying her earring got lost in the car. Su Wanwan sounded extremely annoyed, Right now, shes looking for me to find it. Even though I keep telling her I havent found it, she wont listen. Its so annoying. Mo Weiyi: After ending the call, she got up, found the red earring from her bag. This earring is from a ssic Australian jewelry brand. Even though its not a top-tier luxury item, considering Qiao Zixins ie and consumption level, it should be considered a high-end product. Did she need to wear such an expensive piece of jewelry when inviting her cousin for a meal? Was she unting her wealth or did she have ulterior motives? And she also identally lost it? Conveniently, it just happened to fall in Mr. Huos car? Tsk tsk tsk. No matter how one looked at this situation, it felt like a deliberate scheme to create an opportunity to meet with Mr. Huo. With these thoughts, Mo Weiyi put the earring back in her bag and went to her dressing table. So when Xiao Yebai entered the room, he saw her rummaging through her drawers. Xiaobai, have you seen my pair of red Shinore earrings? No. Thats strange, I clearly put it here, howe its gone? The pair of earrings was a birthday gift from her father, Mo Yaoxiong, on her eighteenth birthday. Although they were worth nearly 100,000, because of their shy color, which didnt go well with most outfits, she hardly ever wore them. They were kept in the drawer, along with the original packaging. But now, though the outer box was still there, the earrings inside were gone. Where could they have gone? Xiao Yebai sat down by the sofa, picking up an iPad beside him. I cant find them, this is so strange, how did they disappear? Mo Weiyi mumbled while continuing to search. Eventually, after turning the entire dressing table inside out, she gave up despondently. Soon enough, she found another pair of pink earrings to rece the previous ones. After wearing the matching ne, bracelet and diamond ring, she turned around, glimmering all over, and asked, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, do I look good like this? Xiao Yebai was engrossed in the iPad, seemingly didnt hear her interest and did not respond. Xiaobai! Mo Weiyi pouted and took his iPad away, cing it aside. Xiao Yebai barely opened his eyes. At home, he didnt wear his in sses. His ck shirt unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and firm corbone. Under the light, the mans skin was as white as jade, but because of his dark attire, he gave off a cold and indifferent aura. For a moment, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his eyes. But when Mo Weiyi looked closely, his eyes appeared clear and soft as if void of any emotion. Xiao Yebai looked at the charming little face in front of him. Without makeup, it was still delicately radiant. With thin lips, he said nonchntly, Pretty. Though it was half-hearted, Mo Weiyi epted hispliment, walked back to her dressing table and started removing her jewelry. She came back after a few minutes. She sat right down on the couch, hugging the mans neck, Xiaobai, do you know whats the day after tomorrow? Chapter 91 - 91: 091,1 love Xiaobai the most Chapter 91:1 love Xiaobai the most Trantor: 549690339 Xiao Yebai had no choice but to put the tablet he had just picked up back down again, What day? You forgot again! Mo Weiyi pouted, looking unhappy. The mans eyebrows twitched rapidly, then he said with an indifferent tone, Ive been too busytely. When are you not busy? Every time I ask you, its always busy, busy, busy.'' Mo Weiyi stroked his stiff short ck hair at the back of his neck and finally said directly, The day after tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. Xiao Yebai hooked his thin lips, What gift do you want? I wont tell you, Mo Weiyi tilted her face, her fluffy, beautiful curls cascading from her delicate shoulders. A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled with charm, This time you decide what to give me. Just to be clear, I dont want any jewelry anymore. So, Xiao Yebais thin lips curved deeper, revealing a somewhat frivolous smile, you dont like the jewelry Ive given you before? No, no! Mo Weiyi hurriedly denied, Of course I like what Xiaobai gives me, but theres just too much jewelry. You give me jewelry, my father also likes to give me jewelry, and so does my grandfather so this time, I want something different. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. He dropped his eyelids, and a faint emotion spread in his eyes. She thinks theres too much jewelry? Heh. As expected of the pampered girl who is adored by everyone, even her worries about receiving gifts are different from ordinary girls. Mo Weiyis coquettish voice continued, So you better think about it. It doesnt matter about the price, as long as it can make me happy and touched. Xiaobai, Xiaobai Xiaobai, did you hear that? Xiao Yebai calmly lifted his eyelids, his face asposed and calm as ever, Okay. Mo Weiyi was very happy, Ill also give you a surprise then. Xiao Yebai curved his thin lips again. Her surprise? Is it going to be burnt meals, weird sketchings, or perhaps, a scarf that unraveled after I wore it once? Right away, Mo Weiyis face turned red from embarrassment, Xiaobai, how how do you still remember those things? She thought giving watches, ties and clothes to her partner every time was too monotonous, so each time she would start to prepare with careful thought ahead of time. Who knew almost all of them ended disastrously. Apart from the good looks she was blessed with, her talents in other areas were just average. She was bad at cooking and average at studying, let alone anything artistic: music, dance, painting, she was no good at any of them. Even though her grandma used to be quite a famous musician domestically, it seemed like she didnt inherit any musical genes at all. Anyway, I dont care, you better think about it carefully in these two days, understand? Mo Weiyi deliberately put on a stern face, issuing the final decree. Under the orange light in the room, she was wearing a puff-sleeved white nightgown with a faint blush on her face. Although she was embarrassed, she kept staring at him with her eye wide open, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, even her cheeks were puffed up, looking like an angry little kitten, adorably fierce Kind of cute. And somewhat unexpectedly charming. Xiao Yebai only felt as if his heart was torn open by something, and before he realized it Alright. Mo Weiyis eyes lit up immediately, and she threw her arms around him, rubbing against him like a spoiled child inside his arms, Xiaobai treats me the best, I love Xiaobai the most, ying ying ying. Xiao Yebai: * * The next morning, Xiao Yebai went to thepany, while Mo Weiyi went back to her room to get herself ready. Finally, she stood in front of the dressing mirror, Mrs. Jiang, do I look good like this? The maid who was cleaning looked up and then praised with a smile, Princess, you look really beautiful this way. Mo Weiyi gave a faint smile, straightened her soft curls casually and asked, By the way, Mrs. Jiang, have you seen my red earrings that I put in the cab? The maid paused in her cleaning, then answered casually, I havent seen them. Princess, did you put them somewhere else? I left them here. The jewelry box is still there, but the earrings are gone. Its really strange. Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, her mood somewhat affected by the sudden loss of an item. Although she didnt like the earrings, they were a symbol of her adult birthday gift from Mo Yaoxiong, containing sentimental value. Then, Ill help Princess look for themter. Okay. Mo Weiyi grabbed her handbag, Im going out for a bit and will be back this afternoon. You dont need to prepare lunch. Alright, please be careful on the road, Princess. * * An hourter. Mo Weiyi got out of the car, confidently walked in her high heels into the office building, then took the elevator straight to the 20th floor. Amid the peak of the work day,pared to the surrounding soberly- or seriously-dressed office workers, her 57 height, her tall and slender figure, her distinctly feminine floral maxi dress, her dense seaweed-like curls, therge sunsses covering most of her face, and the meticulously applied red lipstick on her lips, exhibited a stunning beauty. She was really beautiful. Brazenly attracting side nces from others. Once she was on the 20th floor, she exited the elevator, nced at the room number, and gracefully walked into the magazine publishing office. Excuse me, Miss, who are you looking for? The receptionist couldnt hide her envy. Im looking for Her slender finger removed her sunsses, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, Qiao Zixin.. Chapter 92 - 92: 092, stay a bit further from married men Chapter 92: stay a bit further from married men Trantor: 549690339 Qiao Zixin was surprised to hear the name, Mo Weiyi. This young princess of the Mo family, everyone in Nancheng pretty much knows her name and face. She was born with a silver spoon, blessed with delicate beauty by God. At the age of eighteen, she married Xiao Yebai, the adopted son of the Mo family, in a high profile. Since then, they have be the model couple of high society. Because of the Mo familys position, and her friendship with Su Wanwan, Qiao Zixin naturally also knew her. However, theyve never interacted, and Qiao Zixin couldnt imagine why the young miss Mo would personallye to the magazine to find her. Unable to understand, Qiao Zixin hurriedly put on some makeup before hurrying to the reception room. When she opened the door, Mo Weiyi was sitting on the sofa, looking morous. She was wearing a sleeveless floral dress, in a bright color. Her dark curled hair was gathered to her right shoulder, revealing her delicate, beautiful face and the sparkling pink diamond earrings on her left ear. Moving down, a matching ne was worn on her graceful and slim neck. Apart from the two bandaids on her neck, she was elegant, bright and luxurious. She had a true air of an hautedy. Upon seeing Qiao Zixin, she gave a faint smile, then gestured with her hand, Cousin, please sit. The first thing that caught Qiao Zixins eye was the bracelet on Mo Weiyis left wrist, along with the diamond wedding ring on her ring finger. Was this a disy of diamond jewelry? From head to toe, she was glittering, all dolled up; she was morevish than when she attended the wedding yesterday. Qiao Zixin grumbled internally but still maintained a polite smile on her face, Miss Mo is too polite. Not at all, youre Wanwans cousin, and youre five years older than us. Theres a generational gap in every three years, so I should call you cousin. Mo Weiyi said, her red lips slightly pursed, her tone was soft as usual, but every word she spoke carried a thorn. Qiao Zixin felt a vague difort in her heart and decided to be frank, I dont know why Miss Mo is looking for me? Eh, you dont know why I came to find you? Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful eyes, her tone surprised. Miss Mo, feel free to speak. Originally, I wanted to have some green tea before discussing business, but who knew making green tea could be such a hassle. It cant cool down even after so long. Mo Weiyis slender fingers caressed a hot disposable paper cup, If I had known, I would have had mineral water instead, its even cleaner than green tea. Qiao Zixin frowned, feeling like she was being indirectly insulted. But that wasnt right, she has never offended the little princess. After saying those words, Mo Weiyi didnt say anything further and just looked at Qiao Zixin with her beautiful cat eyes. This made her feel irritated. Miss Mo. Qiao Zixin couldnt help but stand up, Its morning now, and I have a lot of work to do. If its nothing urgent, I think Id better get back to work. Dont go. Mo Weiyi said, putting a bag on the table. Qiao Zixins eyes lit up. All women love bags, and she was no exception. This was a newly released limited edition chinklin model from Paris a few days ago. It was said to be worth several hundred thousand RMB. This was her first time seeing it in person. It was a beautiful cherry red, it was simply breathtaking. I heard from Wanwan that you lost an earring, this one? Qiao Zixin quickly recovered her senses. When she saw clearly what was in Mo Weiyis hand, her face changed dramatically. Why would this earring be in Mo Weiyis hand? Giving it back to you. Mo Weiyi stood up and handed the earring. Qiao Zixin could only reach out to take it. But as she was about to touch it, Mo Weiyi suddenly let go. With a pop, the earring fell on the table. Qiao Zixin was hurt and quickly picked up the earring to inspect it. Sorry, my hand slipped, is it broken? Qiao Zixin didnt say a word. Is it broken? Mo Weiyi asked again, Then Ill repay you. Do you like the earrings Im wearing? They arent expensive, just several tens of thousands, its my first time wearing them today. Cousin, if you dont mind, Ill give them to you. As she spoke, she pretended to remove them. No thanks. Qiao Zixins tone was stiff. No matter how much she loved money, she didnt like being pitied by other women, especially not by a girl five years younger than her. Cousin is much more generous, not like other women. Mo Weiyi withdrew her hand, her eyes curving withughter, Did you know? When I was fifteen, my dad took a liking to a dancer in a club. She was only three years older than me, but desperately wanted to be my stepmother. Guess what happened next? Qiao Zixin clenched her fingers, suddenly feeling inexplicably guilty. Because I wasnt happy, my mom confronted the dancer and gave her two choices: one, break up with my dad and receive a hefty sum as a break-up fee; or two, sign an agreement, take no money, but continue to be my fathers mistress. Eventually, she chose to break up, took the money and left the country. However, she had a car ident midway. She survived, but has been in a vegetative state ever since. They say shes still lying in the hospital. Mo Weiyi spoke indifferently. Although it was a bloody story, she delivered it as if it was merely some inconsequential gossip. Cousin is seven years older than her, I believe you should be smarter. Finding a man is like walking C if you take a wrong turn or stray from your path, it could be fatal. Especially when ites to morally reprehensible acts like ruining someone elses marriage and family, you should never touch that. Being a mistress always brings its own retribution -What do you mean by that? Unable to hold back any longer, Qiao Zixin interrupted, her face turning increasingly stiff and gloomy. Are you still going to pretend not to understand? The smile on Mo Weiyis face slowly faded away. She stood up. With her one-meter seventy height, on top of her high heels, she exuded an aura of power and dominance. Stay away from married men, and dont harbour intentions you shouldnt have. Qiao Zixin felt like all the blood in her body was rushing to her head, her heart pounding violently. After a while, she managed to control her emotions, feigning nonchnce, Miss Mo, are you mistaken? I merely wanted to interview Mr. Huo, hence I asked Wanwan to assist me over a meal. It just so happened that it was raining that day, and Mr. Huo kindly gave me a ride, thus my earring fell into his car. Did I mention Mr. Huo? Mo Weiyi raised her eyebrows, a sly smile in her eyes. Qiao Zixin was utterly stunned. Mo Weiyiughed, picked up her bag from the table, and said in a careless tone, The video of Xing Yuyun sleeping with a female actress is still with me. I hope you will take it as a warning and not make me dig up your past with your ex-boyfriend. Are you threatening me? Qiao Zixin was infuriated and ashamed. She never thought she would be threatened by a young girl. Wanwan is my best friend, her matters are my matters. If shes unhappy, Ill be unhappy too. Offending me is the same as offending the Mo Family. Remember what you said today, or else you know what the consequences will After saying this, Mo Weiyi left. Qiao Zixin sat there, tightly biting her lip, her face filled with resentment. Then, all of a sudden, she picked up the cup of green tea from the table and smashed it to the ground. * * After getting into the car, Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan to invite her out for dinner. An hourter, the two met at the entrance of the mall. Because it was that time of the month and she wantedfort, Su Wanwan wore a pair of denim short shorts and a yellow embroidered biouse. She didnt dress up much, she lookedpletely casual next to the flirtatious, floor-length dressed Mo Weiyi. Why do I feel like your little follower? Mo Weiyiughingly held her hand, Baby Wanwan is so beautiful, clearly shes my twin sister. Pretty, loves to act cute, and speaks softly Mo Xiaose is simply a little vixen! Su Wanwan groaned, Are you nning to splurge again? Im buying a present for Xiaobai, spending money on Xiaobais gifts doesnt count as squandering! Mo Weiyi retorted confidently and quickly pulled her towards the shopping mall, Lets go eat on the 10th floor first, Im starving. * * After finishing their meal, the two of them each held a cup of milk tea and headed to the mens section on the 9th floor. Wanwan, after school starts, should we share a dorm room? Surprised, Su Wanwan asked, Will Xiaobai agree? If you want to stay, stay. If not, just go home. South University is very understanding when ites to students who are married. Su Wanwan pursed her lips, suddenly her eyes lit up, Sure, sure, sure! Then, she thought, five days a week, she would be in a dorm, out of reach from a certain person, haha! Who would have thought that less than a monthter, on a dark windy night, a certain man shoved her onto the single bed in her dorm room, undid his belt with one hand, Im out of reach? Baby, do you want to see exactly how long it is? Su Wanwan felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry. Is anyone here? The old man is harassing again! Chapter 93 - 93: 093, is someone stealing your thunder? Chapter 93: is someone stealing your thunder? Trantor: 549690339 | Oh right, youd better watch out for Qiao Zixin in the future, Mo Weiyi suddenly said. Su Wanwan took a sip of her hot milk tea, Whats up with her? Ive heard that she likes to date rich and handsome men. All of her previous boyfriends were either rich heirs or nouveau riche. Your husband, Huo Yuan, is wealthy, handsome and tall. Be careful that she doesnt steal him away, warned Mo. Pffft! A mouthful of milk tea sprayed out. That grumpy and perverted old man has people trying to steal him away? I am begging her, please hurry up and steal him away! Su Wanwan blurted out. Mo Weiyi widened her cat eyes, What are you talking about? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and suddenly walked straight forward, Oh, this mens clothing store looks good, is it new? Lets check it out! Mo Weiyi: Wee! The saleswoman greeted warmly. Upon entering the store, Mo Weiyi seemingly forgot about the discussion regarding Qiao Zixin. She held her branded bag, donned a full set of expensive diamond jewelry, and strutted in her high crystal heels, just like a queen walking on a shiny tiled floor. -The quality of this shirt is good; Xiaobai would definitely look handsome in this. Bring me one of each color; his height is one meter eighty eight, she instructed. This suit would be suitable for Xiaobai when he attends banquets; pack it for me, she continued her shopping spree. Do you have any ckbelts? Bring me ten of them; Xiaobai really likes the color ck, she mentioned lightheartedly. Wow, you even sell underwear! Bring me., she started saying before suddenly realizing there were other people around. Mo Weiyi then lowered her voice, one meter eighty-eight, the biggest size, only in ck. Bring me twenty pairs. The saleswoman blushed. She wasnt sure whether her rosy cheeks were a result of enthusiasm or embarrassment,Sure, miss. Finally, Su Wanwan looked at the pile of packages that resembled a small mountain in front of her, Are you insane, buying so much? Mo Weiyi shrugged helplessly, Every time I give Xiaobai a gift, he barely shows any emotions. I have no idea what he really likes, so I thought Id buy everything and let him choose. You spendthrift! Su Wanwan blurted out. Mo Weiyi grinned, Arent you going to buy something for Mr. Huo? I am broke! any single pair of underwear costs thousands, are they made of gold? Can he ascend to heaven once he puts it on? she retorted. Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, You mean to tell me that Mrs. Huo, wife of the rich boss Huo Yuan doesnt have money? Huo Yuan is not my sugar daddy, she stated bluntly. Being caught up with lifes eventstely and not receiving her living expenses during herst visit to the Su Family, there hasnt been any need to spend money since everything including food and board was covered while living in Imperial Court. Thats where youre wrong Wanwan, Mo Weiyi chastised, a woman must have control over the financial matters. With millions flowing into Mr. Huos ount just by sitting in the office all day, isnt that money intended for the wife to spend? Su Wanwan nodded, Makes sense. Youre married now, and as a student who doesnt have the ability to earn money, you need to be supported by a man, right? Hmm, Su Wanwan kept nodding. This card is a subsidiary card of Xiaobais, ask Mr. Huo to also get you one, Mo Weiyi said, and casually handed it over, Charge it. * * Meanwhile, Mo Group, CEOs office. A message popped on his screen: Your card ending with 4369 has been charged 586,870 RMB in ** store Xiao Yebai nced at the message before tossing his phone aside. About half an hourter, the phone rang again. The screen showed My sweetie Yiyi. Xiaobai, Ive bought all your gifts. I picked for a long time and bought quite a lot. Holding them all has made my hands sore. You would surely like them. So have you thought about my gift yet? Xiao Yebai listened to her chattering voice, but his gaze was focused on the red and green graphs on hisputer screen, and said indifferently, No. Thats okay. Theres still half a day left. Take your time to think, Im waiting for your surprise. Hmm. After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the internal line. Soon, the assistant entered the room, bowing his head respectfully, Mr. Xiao. Prepare a gift for the princess, no jewelry. The assistant had a puzzled expression. Without jewelry, then what? Havent they been giving the princess jewelry for years? He had almost be a mascot for all the major jewelers in Nancheng. Xiao Yebai cocked an eyebrow: Any problems? Mr. Xiao, I honestly dont know what other gifts the princess would like other than jewelry? the assistant answered with a distressed face. I could find another assistant who knows. The assistants legs buckled with fear, Mr. Xiao, Ille up with something right away. * * Meanwhile, because of therge number of items bought, Su Wanwan, Mo Weiyi, and the driver had to together load all the bags onto the car. By the time they arrived back at Mo Weiyis Lishui Bay Vi, it was already 4 oclock in the afternoon. Auntie Jiang, help me take the bags to the dressing room. Please prepare some fruits and roast some little biscuits, then send them to the audio-visual room. Okay, princess. Mo Weiyi pulled Su Wanwan up to the second floor. The vi was a wedding gift from Mo Yaoxiong to his daughter and son-inw. Su Wanwan had only visited once when she was drunk and it is only today that she had the time to properly look at it. Indeed it was a sweet residence for the newlywed couple. The second floor was filled with their wedding photos of various styles and poses. In each photo, Mo Weiyi was always sweetly radiant while Xiao Yebai was as indifferent as ever. His expression, whether wearing sses or not, was almost emotionless, revealing no emotions. However, it is undeniable that the couple together in those pictures were a pleasing sight, it was like looking at a golden boy and his jade girl pinch-hitting for them.. Chapter 94 - 94: 094, Wanwan is a bok choy (Xiao Bai Cai) Chapter 94: Wanwan is a bok choy (Xiao Bai Cai) Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan had chosen a zombie flick that had been a recent hit, Train to Busan, to watch. After the two-hour-long movie, Mo Weiyis voice turned hoarse after screaming so much due to fear. That was too intense. No, no, I want to switch to a romantic movie. Su Wanwan checked the time, Its six oclock, I need to go home. Then why dont we have dinner before you leave? Xiaobai is always busy working overtime and going to social events, its so boring eating alone. Mo Weiyi suggested, tossed the remote control away and stood up, What do you want to eat? I can ask Aunt Jiang to cook it for you. The phone suddenly rang. Su Wanwan casually mentioned a fewmon choices for dinner, and as soon as Mo Weiyi left, she answered the call, Hello? Junior Sis, I heard you got married? The voice on the other end of the line sounded surprised and anxious, Oh my God, didnt you go back to catch your cheater fiance? How did this be about getting married? A good horse doesnt eat the grass its already passed by, Im so disappointed in you! Is my naturally fresh and genuine little sister really you? The one behind the facade, quickly tear off your masks now Stop! Su Wanwan interrupted, Its not Xing Yuyun. Then who is it? You wouldnt know him. Is he more handsome than me? After some consideration, Su Wanwan said, He is older than you. What? Hes older than me? I dont believe it! Ive measured my golden cudgel, its 18 centimeters long! Ye! Qi! Tian! Su Wanwan turned red, uttering each word almost through gritted teeth, What I meant was that hes older than you in age! How much older? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and took the opportunity when a call beeped in, to hastily reply, I have some urgent matter over here, Ill hang up now. Junior Sis The iing call was made by Huo Jingshen. As soon as the call connected. Why did you take so long to answer? Su Wanwan pouted, What can I do for you, Sir? Huo Jingshen hesitated noticeably, Sir? Su Wanwan coughed twice. He was much older, and every utterance from his mouth disyed a sense of superiority, almost as if he was a wealthyndowner from ancient times lecturing his servant. I have a meeting soon, Huo Jingshen immediately said, In half an hour, have Xiaosan pick you up at the Imperial Court. A casual gathering with a few friends, you dont have to dress up. Su Wanwan thought to herself, I didnt say I was going to dress up. Where to? Guedi. Can I take a taxi directly there from Weiyis house? That works. After saying that, Huo Jingshen ended the call. He was brief and decisive. * * After having dinner with Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan took a taxi to Guedi. Given her past experience with the scandal that broke out on the newspapers, she had average impressions of this ce. However, the fact that they could still operate sessfully even after such a scandal showed that the management had quite the firm hold. After she reported her identity as Mrs. Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan was quickly escorted to the sixth floor. After crossing the dark corridor, she finally stopped in front of a private room named Fire Emperor. After the servant knocked twice, the door was opened. There she is! Our little sister-inw has arrived! The moment Nangong Ci shouted these words, everyone in the box turned their gazes towards the door. Su Wanwan also looked back at them. Well. There were men, and there were women. Some she knew, some she didnt. However, without exception, each person was extremely attractive. Theres no need to mention her own husband. He happened to be wearing a striking white shirt and sat right in the middle of the couch. He looked maturely handsome, gracious in demeanor. Every move he made seemed to carry an aura of nobility around him, standing out like a crane amongst chickens. As for the other men, each was handsome in their own unique way. Even the only girl present was very beautiful, dressed in a yellow dress that gave off the impression of being elegant and intelligent. Indeed, Birds of a feather flock together. People who look good tend to be friends with others who are equally good-looking. Then, a teasing male voice suddenly said, Wow, Ah Shen, this ones quite fresh. Sister-inw, have you turned eighteen yet? Did you finish your homework? Pfft! Nangong Ci broke intoughter. Huo Jingshen nced at the man. His gaze was sharp, and his voice was icy, Is your brain not working or is it your eyes? What were you talking about, Lao Gu? Nangong Ci hurriedly tried to exin in a serious tone, Our sister-inw is 20 years old this year, which is just right for big brother! Twenty? The one called Lao Gu, a handsome guy, looked Su Wanwan up and down, making a tsking sound, Ten years older, darn it, Ah Shen, you really can eat such fare? Her hair was tied into a bun. Her face was as small as the palm of a hand, looking very soft. She also did not wear any make-up. She was wearing a casual overshirt and denim shorts and a pair of white shoes on her feet. Although she was beautiful and had a clean vibe, she was too young. She looked like a minor, you would believe it if someone told you she was seventeen or eighteen! Older husband, younger wife. Lao Gu concluded. Everyone else: Shameless! Disgusting! Animal! Lu Chenyu, word by word: Worse than a beast! A shadow of a frown appeared on Huo Jingshens face. Did theye for a gathering or for sabotage? Alright, enough from each of you. Chu Xiuhuang, who appeared ratherzy, spoke, Big brother barely managed to find a girl like this. Dont scare her off, huh. Su Wanwan remembered this man from herst trip to the Imperial Court. His unique handsome face was quite small. Wearing a shirt with dark floral prints, holding a cigarette in one hand and red wine in the other, his narrow eyes slightly squinted. The smoke circled around him when he spoke, he gave off a kind of unspeakable charm and allure. He was the only one present who had brought his girlfriend, so he seemed like a good person. But who would have thought. Chapter 95 - 95: 095, Men are all jerks! Chapter 95: Men are all jerks! Trantor: 549690339 At least from now on, big brother wont have to work so hard anymore haha. After Chu Xiuhuang added this, the crowd erupted intoughter and coughs, and his girlfriends face turned bright red. Su Wanwan felt unbearably embarrassed. It seemed that all men were pigs, whether wealthy or not, always driving their own agendas. It was simply cheap! Low ss! Shameless! Okay, everyone, lets keep it appropriate, there aredies present, Nangong Ci tried to salvage the situation. Sister-inw, what kind of drink would you like? Ill order for you. Su Wanwan said, No need! Huo Jingshens eyebrows twitched. Was she that well-behaved? The next second, Just order the same as you guys Red wine will do. Su Wanwan thought she was very considerate, not embarrassing her husband, who would have thought Get her a cup of hot milk, Huo Jingshen said. This time it was Chu Xiuhuangs turn to look displeased, Damn, its so hot, and Im serving you here, if you want milk, take her home and give her some! Pfft??? Some people immediately understood andughed quietly. A gentle-looking man looked puzzled, Isnt sister-inw an adult? You dont understand C big brother is treating his wife like a little girl. Cough, Cough, Cough. Huo Jingshen spoke in a straightforward tone, Shes on her period now, she cant drink alcohol. Another Pfft? Nangong Ci spluttered out a mouthful of red wine. The others also burst intoughter again, some nearly choked on their drinks, the whole room was in uproar Unbelievable! Su Wanwan gripped her fingers tightly, her face was so red it could burst into mes. Great, now all the men knew she was on her period. Wasnt this horribly embarrassing? Any other warm drinks will do, Huo Jingshenpromised. The attendant, being quickwitted, immediately asked, Mrs. Huo, would hot milk tea do? Su Wanwan didnt want to drink it and, without thinking, cast her look towards the brandy in someones hand. Huo Jingshen swirled his ss, Come here. Su Wanwan obediently walked over, sat down next to him, her eyes still fixed on the ss of brandy. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows and leaned close to her, almost whispering, Baby, want a sip? Su Wanwan nodded. Actually, a little wouldnt hurt. Ill feed you. Huo Jingshens tone was doting, he took a sip from the ss and then He seemed ready to feed her. Holy smokes! Su Wanwan quickly pushed him away. Huo Jingshen couldnt hold back his grin, his eyes and brows filled with amusement, even his lips curled upwards, where had his previous gloom gone? Cough, Cough, Cough! Su Wanwan quickly looked up. The gentle-looking man stood in front of her, holding a gift bag and elegant as jade, Sister-inw, Im Ming Jing, this is my wedding gift to you and big brother, you can call me Little Mingzi. Isnt it Little Jingzi (Little Jingzi)? Chu Xiuhuang casually chimed in. Second Brother! Ming Jing was slightly taken aback, and he patiently exined, Jing, read as the fourth tone, means beautiful jade. Thank you. Su Wanwan took the bag, casually opened it, and pulled out a thick box from inside. The title read: [Full HD No M: Unlocking the 108 pieces of knowledge for newlywed couples.] What! Su Wanwan stared, dumbfounded was this that kind of erotic movie? Arge hand quickly grabbed it, shoving it back inside the bag. Compared to Su Wanwans ghostly shocked expression, Huo Jingshen looked quite calm, as if he had seen it all. I also prepared a gift. Nangong Ci also came forward, also holding a bag. Su Wanwan no longer dared to take it. Sister-inw, dont worry, what I got you is not those things. Su Wanwan: Cough, Cough, Cough! I got you 666 boxes of Okamoto, wishing you and big brother a harmonious life! Su Wanwan immediately coughed louder. What kind of people were they!? Couldnt they have gotten some normal gifts? Theyre just like Mo Xiaose! * * The innocent Mo Weiyi sneezed loudly. Which b*tch was cursing her beauty behind her back? * * So you guys are really concerned about our sexual life. Huo Jingshen swirled his ss, a sarcastic smile ying on his lips. Second brother, what gift did you give? Lets see, Nangong Ci goaded. Chu Xiuhuang held a cigarette on the corner of a mouth, both hands up in surrender, I originally booked the presidential suite upstairs for big brother, but I guess its not needed now looking at the situation. Su Wanwan couldnt hold back any longer, she jumped up, Im going to the bathroom! Mrs. Huo, Ill join you, Chu Xiuhuangs girlfriend also stood up. As soon as the two left and the door closed, the room exploded with gossip. * * Womens restroom. Mrs. Huo, do you know why the young master Chu broke up with his previous girlfriend? Su Wanwan was taken aback, Young Master Chu? Werent they boyfriend and girlfriend? Why did it sound so formal? Im on my first date with Young Master Chu today. The girl looked embarrassed, I dont want to be like his previous girlfriends, breaking up after only a month for no apparent reason, so I would like to ask about his preferences. All his girlfriends onlysted a month before breaking up? So young master Chu was a confirmed yboy? Su Wanwanughed awkwardly, Im sorry, but I dont know him very well. Okay. As the girl was touching up her lipstick, Su Wanwan opened the door of the restroom only to find another yboy waiting outside. Wanwan. Su Wanwan never expected to run into Xing Yuyun here.. Its true what they say about enemies meeting on a narrow road C some people just wont leave you alone! Chapter 96 - 96: 096, a good dog does not block the way Chapter 96: a good dog does not block the way Trantor: 549690339 Her face instantly went cold and she turned to leave, but Xing Yuyun blocked her way again, Wanwan, I have something to say. The strong smell of tobo and alcohol made Su Wanwan even more annoyed, and she snapped, Cant you just leave me alone? Why cant you stay out of my way like a good dog? Xing Yuyun looked to the girl with them. She hesitated for a moment, then immediately understood. Mrs. Huo, I shall take my leave first. When she left, Su Wanwan looked up to see Xing Yuyun staring at her. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy. There was no joy indicative of a newlywed, instead, he looked rather decadent and worn. I suppose his life must not be pleasant, having been attacked and caused such a scandal at his wedding. Su Wanwan didnt want to be harassed by him every time we meet. She crossed her arms, prepared to listen, Okay, say whatever you want to say and once youre done, get lost! Xing Yuyun looked at her. The Su Wanwan in front of him seemed so different from the one two years ago. He didnt know what she had been through in Los Angeles, but he wondered, if she had been this beautiful and clean two years earlier, would he have let her go study in L.A., perhaps he wouldnt have made so many mistakes. Taking a deep breath, Xing Yuyun asked, Why did you marry my elder brother on a whim? Su Wanwan answered him immediately: Because hes rich! Hes handsome and powerful! Marrying him irritates all of you. And I love to see you guys pissed, yet unable to do anything. Are you satisfied with this answer? Hearing his assumption confirmed, Xing Yuyun scoffed, For that, youre going to throw away your entire life? Its what I want! I can marry whoever I want, its none of your damn business! Xing Yuyun felt ufortable as he watched her. He had drunk too much earlier, the built-up pressure of the past few days and the various stresses umted in his chest, making his tone somewhat harsh, Cheating on you was my mistake, but you cant just keep making mistakes because of it! My elder brother is a whole decade older than you. Do you know why he married you? Do you understand him at all? Do you know anything about his past? You two are not right for each other! Compared to his passionate words, Su Wanwans expression was indifferent. She nodded and said after he finished talking, So youre done? Im leaving. Wait! Xing Yuyun almost shouted. It was the first time Su Wanwan had seen him so agitated. She didnt want to draw attention and reluctantly stopped once again, despite her impatience. However Watching his hesitant and conflicted expression, Su Wanwans brain suddenly shed a thought. Xing Yuyun. She squinted her beautiful eyes, her tone mocking, Are you trying to sayyou regret it now? He felt a buzzing in his head as she hit the nail on the head, his emotions nearly spiraling out of control. Yes. He regretted it. He had been with Su Yanyan simply out of male lust. He was Su Yanyans first man, she had a good figure and was very proactive and bold, even promising repeatedly to maintain this secret affair. He was not really a virtuous man. He had been involved with many women over the years, and Su Yanyan was just one of them. The marriage with the Su family had been arranged by the elders. As the younger generation, he had to obey, so whether it was Su Wanwan or Su Yanyan, he felt indifferent. Thisforting thought changedpletely the night Su Wanwan returned. That night, he was called to the Su familys house and after having a drink, he slept with her just as Su Wanwan returned from overseas Later, he went to the hospital for a urine test and found that there were aphrodisiacs in the drink. Being deceived by a woman made him feel like a fool, like he had walked right into a trap. Later, Su Yanyan made a scene in front of their parents several times, even causing a huge scandal at the wedding All these events added up, leading to his growing dislike of her. The sense of loss in his heart also grew stronger. Su Wanwan. Xing Yuyun wasnt sure if he was drunk, but his voice was bitter, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her face, Divorce my elder brother. Su Wanwan couldnt help but roll her eyes. Im serious. Xing Yuyun spoke again, Divorce him, now! Are you being a fucking masochist again? Like a nagging woman, meddling in others affairs? Get lost! After saying this, Su Wanwan didnt want to stay any longer. Seeing him blocking her way, she simply turned back. Su Wanwan! Xing Yuyun grabbed her wrist. Su Wanwan tried to shake him off with a jerk, but the strength of a drunken man was somewhat scary and she couldnt break free. So Xing Yuyun stood there, close to her, the more he looked at her, the more he felt he had been foolish. How could he have so easily let her go? She was clearly prettier than Su Yanyan. Additionally, she was nothing like Su Yanyans sweet and delicate demeanour. Su Wanwans features were more refined and although she was still young, she was stunningly beautiful. Especially now that she had dropped her teenage delinquent style of two years ago, the current Su Wanwan had porcin-white skin, her pair of phoenix eyes were bright and clear, and at this moment filled with anger and spite like two pools of water, highlighting the small peach blossom mole under her right eyelid, which added several points of charm to her.. Chapter 97 - 97: 097, that old man is terrible! Chapter 97: that old man is terrible! Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan felt uneasy under his gaze. She had seen such eyes before in Huo Jingshen. But at the moment, instead of the nervousness she felt when facing Huo Jingshen, she felt more disgusted. If you dont let go, Im going to hit you! Xing Yuyun firmly held her wrist, unmoving. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and violently raised her right leg. Xing Yuyun didnt expect her to actuallysh out. Caught off guard, he was hit by a sharp pain. After a muffled groan, his handsome face quickly turned pale and was covered in cold sweat. Despite this, he still held her tightly. If you dont let go, dont me me if you end up childless! Su Wanwan started to threaten. After all, when she was in Los Angeles, she learned self-defense techniques, Capture Technique, Taekwondo, and more Wanwan, Im really doing this for your own good. My elder brother is very cunning and his past isplicated. Hecks any sense of kindness. Im afraid that youll get hurt in the future. If you divorce him, I promise, no one in Su Family will bully you ever again Having been kicked in the crotch, Xing Yuyun was so in pain that he sobered up instantly. But he gritted his teeth and kept persuading. Becuase if he doesnt say it now, he fears he wont get another chance. But Su Wanwan thought he was crazy. Just as she raised her knee, ready to give him another kick So, even I, Huo Jingshen, can have my wife stolen by my own younger brother. The sudden cold voice startled them both. Su Wanwan turned to see a tall and upright figure standing at the end of the corridor. He held a cigarette in one hand, the other tucked in the pocket of his suit trousers. His handsome profile was as cold as ice, and his gaze was chilling. Under the dim corridor light, his whole body seemed cloaked in ayer of gloomy darkness. As she met his deep, calm gaze, Su Wanwan somehow felt a wave of fear. It felt like a wife caught cheating by her husband She immediately tried to break free from Xing Yuyun, who was scared into total sobriety and immediately let go. He didnt even care about the pain, and started to stammer his exnation, Big brother, I, I just So, you wanted to stay on the safe side, right? Another sarcastic male voice sounded. Its Chu Xiuhuang. He turned sideways and walked into the corridor. His hands were both tucked in his pockets, revealing the muscles under his partially unbuttoned dark shirt. A cigarette rested casually on his thin lips. His squinted gaze looked yful yet provocative, making him look downright roguish. He raised an eyebrow at Su Wanwan, deliberately provoking, Big brother, your wife here seems quite charming. His girlfriend had returned to the box earlier and mentioned that sister-inw was being cornered in the restroom. As such, he and Huo Jingshen came together to check on her, only to find that the main character turned out to be that guy from Xing Family, Su Wanwans former fiance. At first, he thought it was just a scare for this young master who grew up in the greenhouse. However, Huo Jingshen was just standing there, silently observing everything. It was nice to believe he trusts his wife, but on the other hand He was damn eavesdropping! While they were arguing, Chu Xiuhuang listened and observed Huo Jingshen, with only one thought repeatedly crossing his mind: This big brother is really sly! As expected, at first Xing Yuyun was just ndering. Later, he actually asked Su Wanwan to divorce! Tsk tsk tsk, having known him for nearly thirty years, Chu Xiuhuang was most familiar with Huo Jingshens character. He seemed calm and gentlemanly, but in reality, he was extremely petty, always holding grudges, and would certainly seek revenge! The girl he finally managed to deceive and bring home was being coveted by his own cousin. Who could put up with a full grasnd on their head? Chu Xiuhuang stretched his long legs and leaned his slender body entirely against the wall, ready to continue watching the drama. However It seems that your establishment needs to tighten its security again. Huo Jingshen squinted at Chu Xiuhuang from the corner of his eye, Anyone can barge in as long as they can afford the minimum spending here, and then they can act like they own the ce? Damn, how dare you insult people? Chu Xiuhuang stood up straight, his handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Although he is the boss here, he only takes care of investments and profits. The specific operations are handled by specialists. Big brother, Im here today representing Huo Yuan to discuss a business deal. Xing Yuyun tried to force himself to exin. In other words, he was here for a legitimate reason. Chu Xiuhuang nced at him. Hey, his pale face had been scared whiter, fluctuating between pale and green, and his voice was shaking. Well, even if youre just an average cat or dog, it isnt sofortable being teased in front of the woman you like Huo Jingshen took one step at a time towards him. He was taller than Xing Yuyun. His ironed and tidy shirt made his face look exceptionally cold. When he got close, he raised his chin slightly, resulting in a looming posture At a nce, he looked much like an elder lecturing a younger one. What project? His voice was low and deep. Perhaps because the lights by the restroom were brighter, he seemed less gloomy and didnt seem as intimidating. Xing Yuyun breathed a little easier and quickly replied, From the advertising department that I manage, we are preparing for the third-quarter advertising bidding project. Fingertips that outlined his bone structure put the cigarette between his thin lips, and Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes. The thick smoke he exhaled sprayed almost entirely on Xing Yuyuns face, You cant even handle your own manhood, and now I question whether you can run the advertising department.. Chapter 98 - 98: 098, is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means? Chapter 98: is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means? Trantor: 549690339 | Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but burst intoughter, quickly coughing lightly to suppress hisughter. Otherwise, hed miss out on the good showing up. Su Wanwans eyes twitched, though Despite the crude phrasing, the logic seemed sound. When it came to Xing Yuyun, a jerk who cant control himself, she believed her husband waspletely right! Xing Yuyuns pupils contracted swiftly, as if he had been pped in public, his face turning bright red. After the extreme humiliation came unease and trepidation. Ever since Huo Jingshen returned home to take over Huo Yuans responsibilities, he acted ruthlessly, with indifference and vigorous reforms, almost to the point of disregarding all rtionships. Not only were the shares of the Huo familys uncles and aunts squeezed, but even Siqings small n to get into the design department was rejected. The position of general manager was offered to him by Huo Yuanshan in the past, but now the old man had handed full power to Huo Jingshen, and he didnt care about anything anymore. If Huo Jingshen held a grudge against him However, Xing Yuyun affirmed himself for his serious attitude towards work, having fulfilled his responsibilities whole-heartedly and with sincerity. Keeping this in mind, he lifted his head, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, Brother, I was wrong tonight. I drank too much and got a bit carried away, I apologize to you and hope you can be fair, addressing each issue on its merits. The moment these words were spoken, Chu Xiuhuang gave a click of his tongue. Should they praise this young man for his spirit? Or scold him for being an idiot? Wasnt he indirectly criticizing Huo Jingshen for being biased and vengeful? Oh, dear, Huo Jingshen hadnt even hinted about firing him, yet here Xing Yuyun was, rushing to stick his neck out, digging a hole for himself, having no idea what he was getting into. As expected. As the general manager of the marketing department of Huo Yuan Real Estate, getting drunk in a club the day after his honeymoon, and taking advantage of his drunken stupor to leave the associates behind in the VIP room and harass female customers outside the womens restroom. Huo Jingshen spoke slowly, calmly, and each word made Xing Yuyuns heart throb. It almost felt like the temperature of the corridors air conditioning was too low. Chills swept over his back, making his spine shuddering non-stop. Huo Jingshens voice continued, If this matter were to be taken to the police station and then reported in the newspapers, I wonder what our parents would think? Chu Xiuhuang had already taken out his phone, squinting his eyes as he mischievously asked, Should I call the authorities? Huo Jingshen didnt reply. Leaning slightly, he looked at the giggly girl beside him, his ck eyes narrowing instantly, Come here. Su Wanwan was startled by his sudden call. Seeing his unwavering gaze on her, she blinked and obediently walked over. Just as she reached him, her hand was caught. Su Wanwan felt a squeeze on her hand, she lost her bnce instantaneously, and stumbled forward. Falling into my arms? Huo Jingshen raised his arm to wrap around her, effortlessly holding her, Admitting your mistake? Trying to be sweet? Su Wanwans facial muscles twitched. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang flicked away the cigarette butt, grinding it into the ground, sounding impatient, Quit the lovey-dovey act in front of me, will you? The sight of couples showing affection was irritating, it made his teeth ache! Huo Jingshen didnt look at him, he pulled Su Wanwan and began to walk away. What about your cousin? Chu Xiuhuang asked. Huo Jingshen didnt lookback, Have someone throw him out. Chu Xiuhuang didnt beat around the bush, quickly dialing a number, Womens restroom on the sixth floor, we need more guys. A few seconds after he finished speaking, several tall and strong men in ck walked over, clearly not ordinary club staff. Xing Yuyun felt anxious, yet held his ground and questioned, Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this? Oh, now you dare to yell in front of me? Just now, werent you acting like a coward? Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows teasingly, his long and narrow phoenix eyes yful and wicked. I can leave by myself. No need for Mr. Chu to trouble yourself! Xing Yuyuns expression was very suffocating. However, there was a hint of fear in his heart for the notorious yboy in Nancheng. Soon after, he added, Brother misunderstood just now, but this has nothing to do with Mr. Chu, right? Youre harassing my customers, as the boss of this ce, and you say its none of my business? Chu Xiuhuang scolded lightly, toozy to waste any more words, and gave a direct order, Take him to the police station, get some reporters while youre at it, and say He paused, thin lips curling into a smile, The cavalry of the Xing family harassed a minor girl while drunk, so he got thrashed. As he spoke, several men in ck suits have already stepped forward to seize Xing Yuyun. Mister Chu, you may be the boss here, but I am also a customer here. I paid to be here and if you dareuh! Xing Yuyun didnt finish speaking before a punchnded solidly in his stomach. This punch was not held back in the slightest, hitting him so hard that he doubled over, breaking out in a cold sweat. Pulling back his fist, Chu Xiuhuang shook his hand as if swatting away a fly, his tone arrogant and mocking, What I hate the most is being threatened. And you dare to call yourself a customer, do you think youre worthy? With these words, another bodyguards fistnded on Xing Yuyuns face at Chu Xiuhuangs signal. Since the guard was a trained martial artist and had Chu Xiuhuangs backing, Xing Yuyun only heard a loud thump, as he felt his jawbone seemed to be shattered, and his mouth was quickly filled with a strong rusty taste, seeing stars before his eyes. In a daze, he heard Chu Xiuhuangs arrogant voice ringing once again, You can sue me if you like. Ill make sure youll suffer! Then, the corridor was filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh and muffled groans of pain. Whenever a customer tried to use the restroom, they were quickly stopped by a waitress. Im sorry, the restroom on the sixth floor is out of service, please use the other floors. ** Meanwhile, Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan directly to the elevator, went straight down to the first floor, and then led her out of the clubs doors. Su Wanwan couldnt resist a nce at him. He looked grim and stern, as if someone owed him millions and didnt pay him back. She coughed twice and asked in a weak voice, Are we going home? Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped, tightly pressing his lips together. His deep dark eyes fixed on her, not saying a word. Feeling inexplicably guilty under his gaze, Su Wanwan thought: why the hell am I feeling guilty? I havent cheated on him. Before she could speak, the car door opened with a crisp sound. Huo Jingshen let go of her hand. Su Wanwan stood there a second longer before she followed him into the car. Once they were in the car, Huo Jingshens voice resonated, Did you forget my advice fromst time? Su Wanwan paused, What advice? Dont wear shorts that short. Speaking these words, his gaze fell on her legs. Denim shorts. Ultra-short ones. This girl was naturally fair-skinned. Coupled with her good skin, smooth and delicate without a hint of pores, her legs were straight and slender, absolutely top-notch. With utmost seriousness, Su Wanwan contested, Theyre shorts, theyre meant to be short! This is the trend! Indeed, a thirty-year-old man has no idea about fashion trends. Typical. Fuddy-duddy. Huo Jingshens eyes were indifferent, Youre not allowed to wear them again, especially when youre outside. Damn it! Su Wanwan was furious, swearing, Youre meddling way too much! Even what I wear is your business? My dad never controlled me this much! You can consider me as your dad. Unable to control the twitch at the corner of her mouth, Su Wanwan shook with anger, Shameless! in any case, no wearing them outside. Huo Jingshenid down his final edict. You cant tell me what to do! Huo Jingshens eyes narrowed, his tone soothing but nheless bearing warnings, Dont force me to repeat myself. Also He spoke out each word, About what just happened, how do you n to exin it? Su Wanwan was taken aback, Exin what? Arent you aware that youre a married woman? Huo Jingshen said with an air of righteousness, In front of so many people, sneaking around with another man behind your husbands back, do you think thats fair to your husband? I wasnt sneaking around, how was I to know Id run into him here! Su Wanwans eyes widened, all flustered, And for your information, you were the one who brought me here, I havent med you yet.. Who told you toe out so early? I hadnt even finished beating that scumbag! Chapter 99 - 99: 099, stay away from the jerk. Chapter 99: stay away from the jerk. Trantor: 549690339 What ndestine meeting? How would I know I was going to run into him here! Su Wanwan widened her eyes, indignation radiating from her. Besides, didnt you bring me to the club? I havent even med you yet. Who told you toe out so early? I havent even had enough of kicking that scumbag! Damn! A scumbag? Hmm, that name sounds pretty good. Huo Jingshen lifted his thin lips slightly, his expression a bit gentler, Anyway, stay away from that scumbag from now on. Su Wanwan snorted a couple of times, then wrinkled her little nose, Nancheng is so small, were bound to run into each other at some point. Is that my fault too? Huo Jingshen watched her act unbothered, his eyes as unfathomable as ever. Su Wanwan happened to look up and meet his gaze. Her heart sank, and she instinctively tried to shrink back. Huo Jingshen raised his hand to the back of the chair on her right, trapping her between him and the car seats. Their faces were close, and their breaths intertwined. Because they were so close, she could smell the strong mature male scent on him. It was warm, fresh, yet hiding a hint of dominance. Also, mixed with a touch of alcohol and smoke, it instantly enveloped Su Wanwanpletely. Um Su Wanwan became a little nervous, her tongue getting tied, Youyouve been drinking, do you want tofind a designated driver? No rush. Huo Jingshen looked at her calmly, his eyes deep. This kind of gaze was all too familiar. Su Wanwan could hear her heart thumping in her chest. Subconsciously, she closed her eyes. However, the anticipated event didnt happen. She opened her eyes only to find Huo Jingshens eyebrows slightly raised, his expression calm, and his tone even more serious, I was just fastening your seatbelt, why did you close your eyes? As soon as he finished his words, Su Wanwan felt a tightness around her. Uh, as expected, the seatbelt had been fastened. Su Wanwans cheeks instantly turned bright red. Damn it. That stinky man came so close, causing her to think that he was about to do something else Clears throat. She reached out to push him away, but both her hands were caught and pinned on the sides of the chairback. What are you trying to do now! Su Wanwan was somewhat flustered and irate. Isnt the seat belt already fastened? Teasing her again and again, is it fun? Huo Jingshen slowly curved his thin lips, Did my darling get a little disappointed because I didnt do anything to her just now? Disappointed, my ass! Shameless stinky man! Taking advantage of a situation and making it seem like hes the victim. Su Wanwan began to struggle, and Huo Jingshen said, Since my darling is so eager, hubby should show a little affection. Upon hearing from Chu Xiuhuang that his elder brother had left with his sister-inw, Nangong Ci considerately picked up Su Wenwens purse shed left at the club and nned to drop it off at Imperial Court. Just as he walked out the clubs door, he saw their still-parked car. He walked cheerfully toward it, only to find Huo Jingshen in the drivers seat suddenly lunging toward his sister-inw. Holy shit! It was like a ravenous wolf pouncing on amb; his patently ferociousness was simply brutal! Feeling it inappropriate to interrupt, he decided to wait in ce. But then One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes Finally, the two separated. Nangong Ci was about to step forward when he saw Huo Jingshen once again lunge at his sister-inw. Nangong Ci was filled with confusion. For the love of God! Are they so impatient they cant wait even though theyre on a main street? Should he remind his elder brother that their cars front windshield doesnt have any protective film on it? Which means, from the outside, if one looks carefully, they could see everything happening inside the car. Watching the seemingly never-ending activity inside the car, Nangong Ci waited and waited until he eventually got fed up. Should he take some photos? Or perhapsshoot a short video and post it on TikTok? * * * Inside the car. Su Wanwan finally managed to pull away, her voice shaking in anger, Are you crazy! It hurts like hell! Huo Jingshen squinted at the youngdy. Until the ringing of a mobile phone broke the silence inside the sealed car. Su Wanwan came to her senses abruptly, Answer the call However, Huo Jingshen didnt pick up. The phone kept ringing incessantly, as if it was locked in a showdown. Finally, Su Wanwan took out the phone and answered. Baby Wanwan, what should I do, what should I do? Please, you have to help me! Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan became anxious. She hurriedly asked, Whats wrong? What happened? The pile of gifts I bought today, Xiaobai seems to not like any of them! He didnt even smile. I spent so long picking those gifts. I feel so upset! Su Wanwan couldnt help but roll her eyes. She made me think the sky was falling, and this is all it was? She clutched her chest, finally catching her breath. Why are you panting? Mo Weiyi suddenly asked. Su Wanwans face turned beet red, UmIIm running. Oh. Mo Weiyi, for once, didnt think dirty thoughts. He quickly piped up again, Guess what gift will Xiaobai give me tomorrow? How would I know? I told him I dont want any jewelry. Do you thinkXiaobai will give himself to me as the gift? And then, tie a pink ribbon around him and let mehehehe. Chapter 100 - 100:100, one can’t judge a man by his appearance Chapter 100:100, one cant judge a man by his appearance Trantor: 549690339 | Su Wanwan did not understand at first. But hearing her best friends lewdughter, a thought struck her like a bolt of lightning. Holy shit! Mo! Little! Pervert! Su Wenwens face turned red as she lowered her voice and yelled, Can you stopughing so lewdly? Besides, Xiao Yebai is such a cold man, would he do suchscivious things? Or is it that all men are not what they seem? Just like Huo Jingshen, who looks gentle and elegant, who knew that he would be so Anyway, Ive already reserved the presidential suite for tomorrow night. The clothes are all ready. Its bunny-themed lingerie, pink, Xiaobais favorite. Hehehe Mo Weiyi chuckled lewdly again as she spoke. Su Wanwan felt her face burning, hurriedly interrupting her, Okay, okay, I Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l? have to go now. After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone before Mo Weiyi could respond. * * Mo Family Mansion. Mo Weiyi huffed irritably when the call was ended on her. She had many friends, but not many she could confide in. Su Wanwan was the only one among them she could truly consider as a close friend. It took forever for Su Wanwan to return to the country and get married, so, as best friends, they could finally share their marital bliss with each other. But every time the conversation shifted in more intimate directions, that girl would act all shy and embarrassed. Well, let it be. She nced at the time. Nine oclock in the evening. Why hasnt Xiaobaie up yet? Mo Weiyi set down her phone and rose to her feet, pushing the door open to head downstairs. The housekeeper had left for the day, and only a dim wallmp illuminated therge living room. The study door was ajar, light leaking from within, along with a faint murmur of voices. Mo Weiyi immediately went over, pushing the door wide open. Xiaobai. Behind the cool, ck desk, Xiao Yebai was taking a call, sses perched on his nose. When he heard her voice, he looked up, his voice deep as he said into the phone, I have to go. Who were you talking to? Mo Weiyi asked casually. Xiao Yebais expression was indifferent, Work-rted matter. Setting down his phone, he raised his hand, turning off theputer screen. Mo Weiyi did not pay it any mind. She went over and squeezed between him and the desk, settling herself in his arms. She cooed sweetly, Xiaobai, Ive reserved the presidential suite at Huashang for tomorrow night. Remember to finish work early. No overtime, okay? Work has been rather busytely. Xiao Yebai leaned back against the chair, his gaze on her calm and still. I dont care. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. If you workte again, Im really going to be angry! Mo Weiyi began fussing, wrapping her arms around his neck. Xiaobai reached out to hold her. His eyes lowered and darkened, and something raspy crept into his voice, Have you showered yet? Yes. Mo Weiyi beamed as she dangled her arms around his neck, soft and seductive, Xiaobai, carry me upstairs. His pale, bony hand went along her curves, hoisting her into his arms. Wait a moment. Mo Weiyi suddenly reached out. Caught off guard, Xiao Yebai had his sses plucked from him. After setting down the rimless sses on the table, Mo Weiyi burrowed back into his arms, grinning, I still like how Xiaobai looks without sses. Xiao Yebais features are markedly pronounced and with his usual cold demeanor, people find him aloof and hard to approach especially when he is immersed in his work. He therefore usually wears sses to appear more gentlemanly and friendly. After getting married however, Mo Weiyi thought that Xiaobai was just a ssic case of a seemingly cultured man hiding his true colors. Wearing sses was pure pretense! Besides, he has such beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, so enchanting and well-defined with thick, longshes and paired with his handsome, arched eyebrows, he has the looks of a delicate, flower-like male character from ancient times. It was a waste to hide those beautiful eyes behind those sses. Xiao Yebai curled his thin lips, taking a step out of the study and preparing to go upstairs. Just then, the jarring sound of a mobile phone rang out. Mo Weiyi pouted a little in disappointment, Whos that, bugging you at this hour? Might be work-rted Xiao Yebai carried her back into the study. Setting her on the couch first, he then picked up the phone from his desk. Zhiwei. The instant she heard that name, Mo Weiyis mood tanked even further. Alright, got it. After he hung up, Mo Weiyi promptly fired off a string of questions, What s wrong with your sister this time? Shes run out of money? Wants to buy something? Or has another man dumped her? Xiao Yebai stayed silent, his face going back to its usual semnce of calm. He stood behind his desk, thin lips pressed in a line as he quietly bore her heated gaze upon his cold face. His dark eyes looked even colder without the sses covering them. Any normal person would be uneasy under his icy gaze, but Mo Weiyi didnt find it intimidating in the least. She huffed in annoyance, her disdain for Xiao Zhiwei evident in her voice, Well, whats her problem this time? Xiao Yebai finally spoke, Zhiwei ising back to the country tomorrow. Mo Weiyis cat-like eyes widened in surprise, What? * * With the news of Xiao Zhiwei returning to the country, Mo Weiyis good mood abruptly evaporated. After going upstairs and while Xiao Yebai was in the shower, she immediately phoned Mo Yaoxiong in irritation, Dad, do you know that Xiao Zhiwei ising back to the country? Chapter 101 - 101:101, wedding anniversary gift Chapter 101:101, wedding anniversary gift Trantor: 549690339 |? She mentioned it to mest week, but I didnt agree. But Xiaobai just got a call from her saying shes returning to the country tomorrow, whats the heck is going on! Mo Weiyi said angrily. Xiao Zhiwei was two years older than her and was sent to Canada by Mo Yaoxiong to study four years ago. They agreed she wouldplete both her bachelors and masters degrees in five years. Isnt it not yet time? The most important thing is, she absolutely despised this woman. She was not a hidden white lotus, nor was she an affectedly virtuous green tea bitch. In Mo Weiyis eyes, she was just an out-and-out little bitch, who always loved to go against her! Because she was Xiaobais cousin and one of his few rtives, every time they argued, Mo Weiyi ended up having to back down! Just thinking about having to constantly fight with that little bitch in the future made Mo Weiyi feel incredibly frustrated! Shes been duped by a married man. Things got blown up, and she cant stay there anymore. Then send her to another country! Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes. Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l? She had had enough. How could Xiaobai have such a cousin with such an unchecked private life! Weiyi, dont be capricious. But I hate her! Mo Weiyi whined, Dad, just send her to another country again. Any country she chooses, as long as she doesnte back here. Pleassee, dad. Shes already on the ne. Lets talk about it when shees back tomorrow. Mo Weiyi: * * The next morning, Mo Weiyi was sleeping in a daze when the man beside her got up. Soon after, he freshened himself up and emerged from the bathroom. Despite his light movements, Mo Weiyi still woke up. Shey in bed with her eyes half-closed, sleepily watching the man who was tying his tie. Last night, she couldnt sleep tossing and turning because of that woman, Xiao Zhiwei. She didnt know when she finally fell asleep but She hadnt forgotten the most important thing! Xiaobai, remember to go to Huashang earlier tonight. Ive reserved a suite. Alright. The man responded in a deep voice. Mo Weiyi was satisfied, When are you nning to give me my gift? Xiao Yebais hand paused for a moment, then calmly replied, Ill have Zhong Kai send it over in the afternoon. Okay. On seeing Xiao Yebai, done with the tie, ready to leave, she pouted, Xiaobai, hug me before you leave. Xiao Yebai walked over. He wore tightly ironed shirt and pants. The white shirt made him look even more handsome and tidy, so breath-taking. Reaching the bedside, he bent his straight body over towards her. The subtle scent of mint aftershave wafted over. Only after Mo Weiyi was satisfied and loosened her arms, did the man rise. Remember to head to Huashang early tonight. Mo Weiyiy there, her dark curls scattered on the pillow. Her face was flushed, herughter causing her eyes to squint into joyful arches. Xiao Yebai responded and left. * * After finishing lunch, Mo Weiyi went upstairs to try on clothes in the living room. Jiang Auntie came up to tidy up the room soon after. Auntie Jiang. Mo Weiyi called out to her, This skirt has been washed once, but I never wore it. Thank you, princess. Auntie Jiang took the blue dress happily. And this coat, I bought it with Wanwan when we went shoppingst time. I didnt realize it was too big, and returning it would be too much trouble. Auntie Jiang beamed, quickly gathering the clothes, Princess, Ill go clean the storage room now. Alright. Mo Weiyi continued to dig through the wall of wardrobes, When Zhong Kaies to deliver my giftter,e and call me. Yes, princess. After trying on clothes for roughly an hour, Mo Weiyi finally chose a light-yellow party dress, along with matching jewelry and shoes. After getting dressed anding downstairs, not long after, Auntie Jiang led Zhong Kai in. Mo Weiyi looked at what he was holding and furrowed her brows, What are you carrying? Princess. Zhong Kai looked at the young girl in front of him, all dolled up. Even without makeup, her face was stunningly delicate. But that didnt mean she wouldnt get angry. On the contrary, the little princess was truly terrifying when she lost her temper! He responded cautiously, This is the wedding anniversary gift Xiaobai instructed me to prepare. What is it? Mo Weiyi asked as she walked over. Zhong Kais legs involuntarily began to tremble. Oh my hed delivered gifts for Xiaobai so many times and never once had he been this nervous. -Why are you shaking? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, ordering considerately, Auntie Jiang, turn up the central heating a bit. Sure, princess. Mo Weiyi looked at Zhong Kai with innocent, puzzled eyes, What are you waiting for? Open my gift. Yes, of course. Ill open it for you now. Zhong Kai put the box on the table, trembling as he unwrapped it and lifted the lid. Upon seeing what was inside, Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded. What? Little turtles? Two of them? Is this the gift Xiaobai is giving me? She could hardly believe it. She had thought that instead of jewelry, considering Xiaobais cluelessness about romance, he might give her some digital device. Or calligraphy and painting supplies? Why on earth would it be two little turtles? Zhong Kai jumped, then hurriedly replied, Report to the princess this is indeed the gift Xiaobai instructed me to prepare. Unrevealing reply. Clever indeed! Zhong Kai apuded himself silently. Mo Weiyi frowned, looking at the two green little turtles in the box, her face puzzled.. Chapter 102 - 102:102, very cute in green Chapter 102:102, very cute in green Trantor: 549690339 Zhong Kai mustered up the courage to ask, Princess, do you not like this gift? He had thought long and hard, even researching online and asking many friends. Finally, everyone suggested he give a pet as a gift, saying that, besides jewelry, girls should like pets the most. But Zhong Kai felt that a pet, like a kitten, puppy, or bunny, too adorable for a spoiled and domineering little princess like Mo Weiyi. Lizards, chameleons, and spiders seemed too far-fetched. After considering all options, the confused man was eventually convinced by the owner of a turtle shop in the pet market to give it as a gift. Although he found the idea of gifting a turtle somewhat shocking Mo Weiyi, rubbing her chin with a slender thumb, thought for about a minute and then blinked, suddenly smiling, I get it! She picked up the small, exquisite box andughed, her cat eyes curving like crescents, You can go back, tell Xiaobai I really like this gift. Zhong Kai was overjoyed, Thank you, princess! * * * Wanwan, guess why Xiaobai would give me two little turtles? Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan while getting a makeover at the club. Are they green turtles? Yes, theyre green and surprisingly cute. Su Wanwan coughed a few times, To survive, you should always carry a little green with you? You dont understand, Xiaobai probably thought that the turtles are easy to raise, so theyre suitable pets for me. Besides, turtles live for a very long time, symbolizing that my love with Xiaobai willst forever. Just right, there are two little ones, male and female, representing Xiaobai and me. Regardless of what Xiaobai gives, even cow dung can be praised by you as a fresh flower! Mo Weiyiughed happily, So, tonight, I will spend a romantic evening with Xiaobai at the hotel. Youe over to my ce tomorrow, helping me name the turtles. I cant make it these days. I need to make up for the third subject course. Alright then. ** At that time, Su Wanwan had just finished ss, and as soon as she hung up the phone, Coach Pan Hui asked, Miss Su, are you going home? I can give you a lift. No need, Ill take the shuttle bus. Dont you live near Imperial Court Vi? Its on my way. Plus, its going to rain soon, and I see you didnt bring an umbre. Su Wanwan looked up at the sky. Wasnt it sunny? Where did the raine from? Could his excuse be any moreme? Im going to the city center to have dinner with a friend. Pan Hui adjusted his sses as if to exin, Dont overthink it, Im just giving you a ride on my way. The more he said that, the harder it was for Su Wanwan not to misinterpret his intentions. After all, Pan Hui was indeed a little too enthusiastic on WeChat, often urging her to attend sses and questioning her reasons for taking leave Youre going to the city center? A chubby instructor nearby suddenly spoke up, I cant drive my car today because of vehicle restrictions. Can I hitch a ride? Sure. Pan Hui turned to Su Wanwan, Lets go together. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes. If she refused now, it would seem a bit pretentious. After all, they werent the only ones in the car. The shuttle bus would take another half an hour, and taking a taxi would cost a lot After weighing the options, Su Wanwan got into Pan Huis red Lingdu car. Once inside, she was on her phone at the back seat, while the two at the front were discussing news about Nancheng. Miss Su. The chubby instructor suddenly turned back, Have you seen the news about the wealthy third-generation? What news? Its about the grandson of the richest man, Huo Yuanshan. He molested a minor at a clubst night, got beaten up, and ended up with three broken ribs. The whole incident was exposed on Weibo. Su Wanwan was stunned. Wasnt Huo Yuanshans grandson Xing Yuyun? She immediately opened Weibo on her phone to search. As expected, shocking headlines were everywhere: [Wealthy Grandson Suspected of Molesting Underage Girl!] [Fresh Trouble at Mansion, Wealthy Grandson Hospitalized After Beating on Day After Wedding! ] [Scandals Among Wealthy Third Generation: Moral Decay or Twisted Human Nature?] As she read, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief, d that she had been cheated. First ying with two women, and now causing such a scandal, Xing Yuyun truly showed that appearances can deceive. Just as she was engrossed in reading Its raining. Su Wanwan looked outside the car window and indeed, it was. A light rain had begun to fall outside, and the sky had turned gloomy. So, Pan Hui did mean well by offering her a ride Su Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed. She had misjudged him Due to the rain, they had to slow down. By the time they entered the fourth ring, it was already six in the evening. Huo Jingshen left work punctually at five-thirty every day and would be home soon. Previously, she always assumed that business elites would be like Xiao Yebai, always overworking and wining and dining, swamped with work. Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen proved to be the exception. Since their marriage, she had hardly seen him work overtime, and he rarely socialized. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. His call came in, his voice stillmanding, Where are you? Su Wanwan nced outside, National Road. Okay. Saying that, Huo Jingshen hung up. Su Wanwan didnt think much of it, but Pan Hui asked, Is your family worried? Yes. Su Wanwan replied, somewhat perfunctory. Worried my foot! Its just his routine check on her whereabouts. When the chubby instructor was dropped off, the night had fallen and the rain showed no sign of stopping. Finally, when they reached Tianquan Royal Court, Su Wanwan said, You can stop at the entrance. The Tianquan Royal Court could be considered an indicator of the wealthy in Nancheng, and even renting a house there was quite expensive. After giving it some thought, Pan Hui drove directly into theplex.. Chapter 103 - 103:103, kill your love rival in a second, just need one sentence Chapter 103:103, kill your love rival in a second, just need one sentence Trantor: 549690339 The security guard at the entrance took a nce and surprisingly didnt stop them. Its raining quite heavily, let me drop you at your front door, he exined. Su Wanwan had no choice but to give her door number. Five minutester, the car slowly stopped at the courtyard door. Through the curtain of rain, Pan Hui looked at the yard behind the iron fence. The bright lights in the three-story vi spoke of extravagance and nobility in the night. Do you live here? He could hardly hide his surprise. Being a native of Nancheng, he was aware that thend here was extremely valuable, let alone such arge courtyard; that couldnt have been less than several tens of millions, could it? Before Su Wanwan could speak, she suddenly heard the windows being urgently knocked. Turning her head, she saw a tall figure standing outside the window. Woah! All of a sudden, Su Wanwan was startled. However, Pan Hui kindly unlocked the car, Miss Su, your family hase to pick you up. Before Su Wanwan could react, the car door had already been pulled open from the outside. A gust of damp cold air roared in immediately. Then her arm was caught by a strong force, and she was dragged out of the car. Ah! Su Wanwan eximed as her body mmed into a solid figure. Huo Jingshen stood there, holding a ck umbre, his gaze focused on Pan Hui who just got out of the car. Su Wanwan quickly exined, He is my driving instructor, he just dropped me off because of the rain. Huo Jingshen quickly sized up the situation and responded in a calm voice, Thank you. Youre wee. Pan Hui replied as he studied the man in front of him. Dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers, the man was tall and seemingly mature; his face under the ck umbre was handsome yet emotionless. With a well-defined face, attractive and elegant features, his serious eyes when he looked at people, especially his pair of ck, deep eyes, as if harboring ancient pasts, were elusive. After thinking for a moment, Pan Hui greeted with a smile, Mr. Su, nice to meet you, I am Pan Who told you my surname is Su? Huo Jingshen interjected with a raised eyebrow. Pan Hui was stunned. Isnt he Su Wanwans rtive? He looked more mature than Su Wanwan and seemed just over thirty. So, he didnt feel right calling him uncle and assumed he was Wanwans elder brother or something. If his surname isnt Su, then could he be So, youre Miss Sus cousin, right? Pan Hui instantly caught on. Huo Jingshen let out a low scoff, Darling, arent you going to introduce me? Hearing the word darling, Su Wanwans legs went weak. Who would have guessed that the strong hand on her waist would suddenly pinch her, and at the same time, Huo Jingshen, not tending to mince his words, asked, Darling, why are your legs weak? Did we tire you outst night? Do you need your husband to carry you? Holy shit! There are others present here, what nonsense is this ruffian spewing out? Seeing Pan Huis dumbstruck face, Su Wanwan hung her head down, clenching her fists, gnashing her teeth. She was too embarrassed to show her face now! As for Pan Hui Darling? Tired fromst night? Husband? When these three key words were put together, the impact was too strong and the shock too wide, leaving himpletely bbergasted. It wasnt until Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan away and therge iron gate of the vi slowly closed with a ng that Pan Hui realized he waspletely soaked. * * Once they entered the vi, Su Wanwan fiercely pushed Huo Jingshen away and started venting. Why did youe to pick me up at the door? What were you thinking saying those words? Are you a sadist? You did it on purpose! Do you want to catch me cheating? Huo Jingshen stored his umbre away, raising his eyebrows, Cheating? Compared to her agitated look, his expression was gentle, his tone indifferent, With him? Su Wanwan was taken aback. A nerdy geek, can he evenpare to your perfect husband? Huo Jingshen shamelessly eximed. Su Wanwan was so infuriated that the corners of her mouth twitched unceasingly. After a long while, she finally spat out four words: Shameless bastard! She was so brazen, praising herself while ndering others; this woman had truly no shame! Huo Jingshen turned around and walked into the living room. His back straight and legs long, even his silhouette emanated an air of arrogance, I came to get you because I intended to take you to the hospital to see my grandfather. What? Su Wanwans anger vanished instantly, she hurriedly followed him. What happened to your grandfather? Nothing major. Just infuriated by your ex-fiancee. said Huo Jingshen, suggesting with his eyes, Go and finish the bowl of noodles. Okay. Su Wanwan obediently went to the table to see arge bowl of steaming beef noodles. The aroma was so rich that even her eyes lit up, Wow, did you make this for me? Apart from your husband, who else would make noodles for you to eat? Hearing these words, the corners of Su Wanwans mouth started twitching again. Was he ying games again? She was unsure whether she should eat it or not. She nced at Huo Jingshen. He was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his tablet with his distinguished fingers, his eyes were unfazed and his face calm, his expression was excessivelyposed. He seemed like his words were merely casual remarks. Uh. Was she overthinking it? Cough, having spent a long time with such a scum, her thoughts had be filthy! Su Wanwan was ashamed, she quickly sat down and started eating. She had to admit, on such a rainy night,ing home after experiencing bitter winds to have a bowl of steaming beef noodles, was truly a delightful thing. She devoured the noodles until the bowl waspletely empty, even drinking up thest bit of soup. Setting the bowl down, she patted her stomach, licking her lips and murmured, Delicious! Huo Jingshen watched her His eyes darkening. Then, he rose, Lets go. * * When they arrived at the hospital, they could hear terrifying roars in the corridor. Was the scene at the wedding a few days ago not disgraceful enough? Just a few days after marriage and such a scandalous thing happened! Now the whole of Nancheng knows that my, Huo Yuanshans, grandson molested a minor in a club and was beaten up till he had to be hospitalized Madam Huo pushed her husband hard. The roaring stopped. Old Master Huo sat upright on the edge of the bed, his pyjama-d body sat straight, hisplexion was flush, not at all like a sick man. His gaze was unyielding, and because of the outburst earlier, his chest heaved slightly. Sitting on the sofa in front of the bed was Huo Qinyu, her eyes already red from crying, and she was still wiping her tears non-stop. Seeing her grandson and granddaughter-inwe in, Old Master Huo couldnt help but harshly rebuke, If you want to cry, go upstairs and cry! Dont irritate my eyes here! Huo Qinyu bowed her head, not daring to make a sound. Ashen, why did you bring Wanwan here sote? asked grandmother Huo benevolently. Huo Jingshens thin lips curved into a smirk, When Wanwan heard that grandfather was hospitalized because of Yuyun, she was worried about grandfathers health. She cried and made a fuss, insisting that I bring her here to visit. Su Wanwan: Perhaps they didnt expect her to be so filial, even Old Master Huo spared her two extra nces. However, his gaze was filled with scepticism, as if he was saying: Really? I find it hard to believe. I dont trust you! This Wanwan child is so filial, unlike Zhexi. Yuanshan has been in the hospital for half a day, and he hasnt even visited once. So disgraceful! After scolding her grandson, Mrs. Huo began to appease her granddaughter-inw, Wenwen, dont worry, Yuanshan is in good health. Theres nothing serious, he can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Su Wanwan nodded. Just now, that roar was so full of energy, it did not sound like he was unwell at all. The old master took a sip of water from the tea cup, his sonorous voice rang out again. Since Ashens here, Qinyu, say what you need to. Huo Qjnyu raised her head, her gaze darting back and forth between Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan. She seemed to have a hard time speaking up. Su Wenwen understood upon seeing her in this state. Huo Qinyu must have cried so much because of Xing Yuyuns situation. Considering their previous rtionship and her new status, as an elder, she naturally wouldnt want to lower her stance in front of Wanwan. Su Wenwen picked up her handbag, Grandpa, grandma, I need to use the restroom. Grandmother Huo nodded approvingly, Go ahead. As soon as Su Wanwan left the room and the door closed, Huo Qinyu immediately started, Ashen, this must be a misunderstanding! Yuyun would never do such a thing. As his mother, I know him. Hes not that irresponsible. What did Yuyun say? Huo Jingshen sat down on the other end of the sofa. Huo Qinyu immediately started hemming and hawing, Hehe didnt want to say anything. Last night, Xing Family suddenly received a call saying that Xing Yuyun started amotion at the mansion and was taken to the police station.. Chapter 104 - 104:104, little sister-in-law is hitting people again Chapter 104:104, little sister-inw is hitting people again Trantor: 549690339 She and her husband hurried over, only to discover that their son was already battered and bruised. The few men present were bodyguards from the mansion, iming that Xing Yuyun got drunk and behaved inappropriately in the womens restroom, even molesting an underage girl. There were even several reporters present at the scene Xing Yuyun was now resting in his room, the news was making headlines, but no matter how much she asked, he refused to reveal a word. Yuyun is an adult and should be responsible for his actions, Huo Jingshen spoke calmly and detachedly. Hes the head of Huo Yuan real estates advertising department. Such a scandal is a terrible reflection on thepanys image. Ashen, what do you mean by that? Huo Qinyu felt uneasy, Ive said it before, Yuyun must have been framed. This must be a misunderstanding! To minimize the damage to thepany, I have issued an order. Huo Qinyu was anxious and uneasy, Whawhat order? Once Yuyun recovers from his injuries, he will go to Jiangcheng to oversee the operations of the new development zone. What? Huo Qinyus face turned pale. * * Su Wenwen went upstairs. There was a small coffee bar here, perfect for passing the time. After finishing a cup of milk tea and yed a few games, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message, Where are you? Ill be home soon. Su Wanwan stood up, paid the bill, and promptly went downstairs. As she passed by the restroom, after some thought, she decided to go in. Who would have thought she woulde across a wench inside. What a small world! Nevermind, she thought, Ill just go to another floor. Just as she turned around, Xing Siqings provocative voice rang out, So youre running away at the sight of me? Guilty conscience, huh? Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the restroom stalls without a single nce at her. This arrogant attitude instantly infuriated Xing Siqing. Coupled with the recent news of Xing Yuyun being transferred and Su Wanwans sudden appearance here She stomped over in her high heels and seized Su Wanwans arm, Listen here, you bitch, are you deaf? Didnt you hear me talking? Su Wanwan forcefully shook off her hand, a malicious smile tugged at the corners of her lips, I only heard a little slut prattling, oh its you, the Miss Xing Family? Xing Siqings face changed dramatically, she lifted her hand intending to p her. However, her hand was forcefully knocked away before it could even reach her face. Moreover, Su Wanwan didnt hold back at all, the sudden p caused Xing Siqing to yelp in pain. Xing Siqing lowered her head to look at her reddened arm, anger zing in her arrogant face, You dare to hit me? Su Wenwen continued to smile, I used to spare you some face because youre a member of the Xing family. But if you dare to make a scene in front of me again, Ill p you each time I see you! You wouldnt dare! Xing Siqings voice suddenly became shrill. Just try me! Su Wanwan threatened, raising her chin. Seeing the fear in her eyes, Su Wanwan decided to make her feel even worse, Youre close with Su Yanyan, arent you? You can ask her how many times Ive pped her since I got back to the country. Having said that, she turned proudly and entered the stall. Xing Siqing stood there, her hands clenched tightly. The moment the stall door was shut, she blurted out, It was your doing that my brother got transferred to Jiangcheng, wasnt it? Youre quite capable huh, having such skills in bed that he does whatever you want him to do. No wonder youre so arrogant in front of me! Seeing that Su Wanwan didnt respond, she gritted her teeth even more, Youre nothing more than a used piece of trash my brother dumped. I cant believe he treasures you so much. He must be bewitched, doesnt he find a lowly woman like you disgusting? Having ranted without any reaction from Su Wanwan, Xing Siqing felt a bit better. She took a deep breath and said smugly, You think that by transferring my brother out of town, you can cover up your affair with him? You just wait, Im going to tell my grandparents about everything, including your past achievements, one by one Before she could finish her sentence, the restroom stall door was abruptly flung open. Xing Siqing, startled, instinctively stepped back. Su Wanwan stepped out, ignoring her but didnt offer any rebuttal either, she just walked over and turned on the tap. Seeing that she was too scared to respond, Xing Siqing started yelling again, Are you scared now? Ive seen a lot of women like you, using your looks to seduce men, just like your dead mother Ah! A scream echoed through the restroom, apanied by the sharp sound of a p. Xing Siqings face was jerked to one side by the force of the p, her delicate cheek quickly swelling with a red, wet handprint Su Wanwan stared at her, her beautiful eyes filled with unprecedented coldness and ruthlessness, I hate it when people mention that woman in front of me. Xing Siqing, if you arent afraid, try mentioning her again. Xing Siqing suddenly lifted her head, So you also feel ashamed, huh? Your mother was nothing more than a mistress and youre the illegitimate daughter Ah! Another p came down. Su Wanwans expression didnt even change, her voice remained the same, Keep going. Su Wanwan, everyone in Nancheng knows about your mother being a mistress Ah! This time, the pain came from her scalp. Su Wenwen grabbed Xing Siqings hair, yanking hard, nearly bending her neck. Xing Siqing raised her hand, desperately trying to w at Su Wanwans arm, but due to the pain and her short height, she couldnt reach, making herself hurt even more.. Chapter 105 - 105:105,1 believe in my wife Chapter 105:105,1 believe in my wife Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan just stared at her coldly, Do you want to continue talking? Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, too painful to endure and frightened, she began to cry. She cursed while crying, but she dared not mention those two words again. Until a cell phone ringing from Xing Siqings bag broke the silence. Su Wanwan seemed to snap back to reality, the cold atmosphere surrounding her gradually dispersed, her expression finally returning to normal. She released her grip, picked up a tissue to wipe her hands, and left the room. She took two steps before the sound of high-heeled shoes followed her from behind. Suddenly, something sharp hit her hard on the back * * In the hospital room. Old Master Huo sighed deeply, Its okay to let Yuyun go out of town to avoid the storm. Well deal with this matter as you suggested. Huo Jingshen nodded but didnt say anything else. Huo Qinyu had already left; unable to ept the situation, yet with the outrage revolving her, there seemed to be no better solution. Its gettingte, Ashen, you take Wanwan home to rest. Doesnt she have a driving lesson tomorrow? Old Madam Huo said. Okay. Huo Jingshen got up, ready to make a call. Knock Knock Knock. In a rush, the door was pushed open, and Nangong Ci, dressed in a white coat, rushed in, Brother, its terrible! Sister-inw has hit someone again! Huo Jingshen: The crowd: * * The hallway was crammed. Security guards, doctors, nurses, and nosy patients and rtives were all making a fuss; it could easily be mistaken for a market. From a distance, you could still hear Xing Siqings cries. Break it up, break it up, security, do your job! Nangong Cimanded in a pretend-to-be-busy manner. Huo Jingshen shot him a cold re. Nangong Ci coughed, Brother, I hurried to inform you about the incident. With the security guards doing their job, soon, the scene only left the two involved and three elders who had stayed in the hospital. What is happening? Madam Huo quickly went forward, first scanning Su Wanwan, Wanwan, are you okay? Then she turned to Xing Siqing, but she was so startled that her voice rose, My God, Siqing, how did you get hurt so badly? Grandma. Xing Siqing sobbed herint, She! Shes the one who hit me! Xing Siqings hair was in disarray, and her face was clearly marked with ps. Her cheeks and neck were crisscrossed with the scratches of a womans fingernails, some even oozing with blood. It was a horrifying sight. Even her clothes were dirty and torn, revealing a bruised and scraped leg. In contrast, Su Wanwan, except for a slightly disheveled bun and a couple of red scratch marks on her arms, her clothes were a bit dirty, but overall, she seemed to be unscathed. The contrast between them was striking. At first nce, it seemed as Nangong Ci had said, Su Wanwan had hit someone, and the victim was Xing Siqing. Madam Huos brows furrowed at the sight. Ashen. The one who spoke was Huo Qinyu. Seeing her beautiful daughter beaten like this made her very upset, Yuyun is still in the hospital room recuperating from his injuries. Siqing just came out to help throw out some garbage. How did she end up being beaten to this extent by Wanwan? She took a deep breath, I know that Wanwan doesnt like Siqing, but no matter what, Siqing is still your sister. Dont you think that Wanwan went too far this time? Siqing is a girl; her face is scratched like this. What if there are scars? Her face is ruined. How can she face other people in the future? After a moment of silence. Madam Huo was the first one to ask, Wanwan, what on earth happened? Su Wanwan stood there, a beautiful little face devoid of emotion, cold and aloof, but still did not speak. Grandma. Xing Siqing sobbed, Look at my face. Its all her scratches; she even pinched my neck, pulled my hair, and tore my dress! She did it on purpose! Yes, I did it on purpose. Su Wanwans voice suddenly rang out, You deserved it because of your foul mouth. If not you, then who? The next time I see you, I will hit you again! Ill hit you every time I see you, until youre scared at just the sight of me! The harsh words made Xing Siqing tremble with fear. She immediately shrank into Huo Qinyus arms, frightened, shivering she used, Did you hear that? She just admitted everything. Shes threatening me in front of you all! Mom, Im scared. Wail The crying irritated Madam Huo, Siqing, what exactly did you say to Wanwan? Taken aback, Xing Siqing replied with unjustifiable innocence, Grandma, what do you mean by that? Clearly I was the one who was attacked, and now youre ming me instead? Arent you being biased? Are you still trying to protect her after all this? Madam Huo was left speechless by her rebuttal. Siqing! Xing Guozhi reprimanded sternly, How dare you speak to your grandmother that way? Xing Siqing became even more aggrieved, Yes, I may have said some bad things about her because she was the one who instigated my big brother to transfer my other brother out of town! She got mad and attacked me after I mentioned it, didnt she? Was I wrong to bring it up? Even Huo Qinyu was flustered at this point, hurriedly reminding her daughter in a cryptic manner, Siqing, your big brother isnt the type to blur the lines between personal and official matters. Dont just say things without thinking. Defiantly, Xing Siqing insisted, Im talking nonsense? Clearly, she admitted to it. She red maliciously at Su Wenwen while continuously insisting, Grandma, she was previously engaged to my brother and is now involved with my big brother. Shes just afraid that my brother would get in the way and ruin her marriage ns in Nancheng, so she deliberately influenced my big brother Enough. Huo Jingshens deep voice finally resounded. Xing Siqing immediately fell silent. Under his deep yet cold gaze, she mysteriously felt unable to act capricious any further. Unearthly silence fell upon the room. Then, Huo Jingshen spoke in a deep voice, I trust my wife. Everyone was stunned by his statement, including Su Wanwan who looked just as shocked. Nangong Ci couldnt help but want tough. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What drama is unfolding here? A romantic TV show? Showcasing their love? Even after his little sister-inw had beaten his own sister to such an extent, big brother still obstinately defended her? Huo Jingshen stood there, his eyes soft, his demeanor rxed, yet the words he uttered portrayed his tant favouritism, Although my wife is still young, I believe shes a sensible and good child who wont hit others without cause. Good child? Su Wanwans lips twitched involuntarily. As for Yuyuns transfer Huo Jingshen shifted his tone, smiling yet not smiling, Out of fraternal love, I merely had him reassigned. If you find this decision uneptable, he can resign willingly and seek better opportunities. Huo Qinyus face turned pale instantly, Ashen you you cant be like this! Xing Guozhi was also visibly displeased. As for Xing Siqing, she could hardly hold back her scream, Big brother, youve gone too far! Huo Jingshen only flickered his eyelids open but his eyes remained as cold as ice. Even if I spoke ill of her, does it mean she can attack me in such a manner and escape responsibility? Even the surveince footage can prove it! After speaking, Xing Siqing red at Su Wanwan, delivering yet another shocking promation, I want her to apologize to me! Otherwise, I will sue her in court! Huo Qinyu hurriedly intervened, Siqing, can you please stop causing a scene? Has her daughter gone mad? However If thats the case. Huo Jingshen began, Xiao San, ask the security to bring up the surveince video. This shocked even Nangong Ci. His peach blossom eyes widened, seemingly asking: Are you sure? Really? Dont be rash! Do you want to reconsider? After all, regardless of how you look at it, its obvious that Su Wanwan did hit Xing Siqing! Are you knowingly jumping into a trap? Let it go. Xing Guozhi advised, Its just kids fighting, it will all be alright once things are settled. After all, they are all family, and its already ratherte, making a scene would not be good. The recent events concerning Xing Yuyun have already given him a headache, causing further distress to Grandma this time isnt going to leave a good impression regardless of the oue. Exactly. Nangong Ci immediately echoed, Youre all family, why make a fuss? Im not rted to her! Xing Siqing yelled as she interrupted him, She left me like this, its all clear in the surveince camera!1 To the monitoring room. At Huo Jingshensmand, Nangong Ci had no choice but to turn around and lead the way.. Chapter 106 - 106:106, Justifiable Defense Chapter 106:106, Justifiable Defense Trantor: 549690339 ** Arge group of people headed towards the surveince room in the basement. The guards quickly got to work. Soon, the surveince video began to y. In the footage, Su Wanwan emerged from the restroom first and appeared in the corridor. Then, Xing Siqing appeared, charged at Su Wanwan and hit her with a bag. Su Wanwan turned around and knocked Xing Siqing to the ground before climbing onto her and giving her a good beating. Nangong Ci was eye-opened by the scene. This sister-inw was really fierce, pulling hair, scratching faces, pping, and even kicking several times after being pulled away by the crowd. You all saw it, right? Xing Siqing spoke smugly, I want her to apologize to me immediately, otherwise, Ill sue her for intentional injury in court! In this matter, my wife did act improperly. Huo Jingshens tone was deep. She didnt know how to control her force which resulted in Siqing being seriously injured. Once we return home, I will definitely teach her a lesson. Nangong Ci was taken aback again. Oh my god, the elder brother took the initiative to apologize for his wife when the situation was unfavorable? Even though it is wise to act ording to the circumstances this doesnt feel like him at all; such submission was out of character. This was beyond expectation. The next second. However, ording to the surveince footage, Siqing was the first to attack. From a legal standpoint, when one is attacked, it iswful to counter with reasonable force to prevent oneself from being harmed. Under such circumstances, any counter-attacks against the attacker are considered legal self-defense and do not constitute any criminal act. Even if we go to court, this video can only prove that my wife acted in self-defense. Everyone: If it werent for everyone elses faces being too remarkable, Nangong Ci would not have been able to stop himself from apuding. In just a few days, his elder brothers ability to spout nonsense with a straight face had improved! No wonder he didnt panic when he mentioned invoking the surveince video. Hes indeed sly as a fox and can twist the facts, this Xing Siqing definitely wont be a match for him! She touched me first! Xing Siqing yelled anxiously, She hit me first in the restroom. Where is the surveince video for the restroom? Get it out quickly! Sorry, the guard replied. There is no surveince inside the restroom. Once again, everyone: Xing Siqing felt as if her blood was rushing in reverse. She widened her eyes and screamed hysterically, I didnt lie! I really didnt lie! It was her! She really hit me first! She hit me first in the restroom! She never imagined that such a nailed-on case could be turned upside down like this. Siqing! There was clear displeasure on Madam Huos face. Youre not a child anymore, why cant you behave properly? Wanwan is your sister-inw, I still remember that your rude wordsst time caused her to get hurt! Do you never learn from your past mistakes? Grandma,st time, it was clearly her who bumped into me first, I exined it to you Siqing. Huo Qinyu interrupted her daughter directly. Apologize to your sister-inw. Mom, what are you talking about? Xing Siqing looked shocked. Your daughter has obviously been bullied by this woman, this mistress has injured me like this, not only do you not help me, you also assist this mistress to go against your own daughter You still dare to speak out! Xing Guozhi became agitated. As expected, Mrs Huos face suddenly darkened, and a cold light shed in her eyes. Qinyu, is this the well-educated daughter you raised?! Mother, Siqing didnt mean it. Huo Qinyu hurriedly tried to exin. Even though Mrs. Huo was usually affable and seldom lost her temper, that didnt mean she was without a temper. On the contrary, without Mrs. Huos decisive determination when she was young, the Huo family wouldnt be in their current position. She dared to insult Wanwan in front of me, an old woman, I wonder what obscene words she would say behind closed doors! No wonder Wanwan didnt hold back her punches, I finally see that she was triggered by these foul words! Even though Wanwan is younger, in terms of seniority, since she married Ashen, she is Siqings elder sister. I dont expect her to treat Wanwan as an elder sister is like a mother. Doesnt she even know basic respect? Using the term mistress, is this the well-educated daughter you raised? Is this the quality of you Xing family? Mrs. Huos series of usations, made in front of many younger generations, made Huo Qinyus face burn with humiliation. The only thing she could do was apologize weakly, Mother, I was wrong. It was me who didnt educate my daughter well. I will apologize to Wanwan on behalf of Siqing. She turned to look at Su Wenwen, Wenwen, it was all Siqings fault. She was spoiled by me and knows no manners. Please dont take it to heart. Who would have thought Xing Siqing would start yelling again, Mom, why should you apologize to that mistress Huo Qinyu couldnt take it anymore and gave her a p. With a bang, the entire surveince room quieted down. Nangong Ci was also left dumbfounded. My god! He really had his eyes opened today! It started with his sister-inw beating up Xing Siqing, followed by Mrs. Huo teaching the younger generation with great authority and now Huo Qinyu is also showing her ruthless side, she just pped her own daughter without hesitation. Tsk, tsk, tsk. No wonder ancient people used to say, It is better to offend a wicked person than to offend a woman. Its eternal truth! Your brother is still recovering, youve been making a fuss till now, arent you afraid of losing face? Today, you made a mistake. I hope this p can remind you to learn your lesson and keep your mouth shut in the future! Huo Qinyu reprimanded sternly. That p was too hard. Her right hand was numb and ached till it trembled. But without doing so, it would be difficult to calm Mrs. Huos anger. As expected, seeing Huo Qinyu disciplining her daughter, Mrs Huos expression softened. She sighed, her fingers massaging her temples, obviously annoyed, Both of you, take her away quickly. I dont want to see her in front of me for some time. Mother, dont be angry, I will take her away now. Xing Guozhi finished speaking and dragged Xing Siqing away. Grandma, why are you treating me like this, grandma, youre so biased No matter how she cried and shouted, she was still taken away. After entering the elevator. As soon as the door closed, Xing Siqing began to sob, Dad, Mom, why dont you help me? That little slut attacked me first. She hit me twice in the bathroom and pulled my hair. I just couldnt stand it and fought back. I didnt lie. Did anyone see it? Who would believe you by just saying this? Xing Guozhi was frustrated with her. Everything I said is true! Xing Siqing was so upset that she was about to cough up blood, Mom, you have to believe me. Stop crying. Huo Qinyu handed her a tissue and wiped away her tears, Didnt I tell youst time, whether you like it or not, Su Wanwan is now Ashens wife, and your sister-inw. Her status has changed drastically, why cant you ept this reality? Why are you always picking a fight with her? But it was clearly her who sowed discord and made my brother get transferred. Xing Siqing felt extremely wronged. So she hit you for this? Xing Guozhi looked at her disbelievingly. He knew his daughter well, she had been pampered since she was a child and had a rtively simple mind; everything showed on her face. Earlier upstairs, she was clearly guilty, and her words hid some facts. II was just upset and mentioned her mom. Xing Siqing quickly defended herself after finishing her sentence, But its true. Grandpa once said that Uncle Su was harmed by that woman. Siqing, dont say such things without thinking! Huo Qinyu hurriedly stopped her. Im not, I heard it when grandpa called Sus grandpa, he even said that the woman should disappear forever and never return to Nancheng Her hand was suddenly grabbed. Because the elevator door opened and someone entered. * * On the other side, after leaving the surveince room, Mrs. Huo said, Ashen, take Wanwan upstairs to check for any other injuries. Okay. I will exin the matter with Yuanshan, you two dont worry. Mrs. Huo added. Listening to the olddy, Su Wanwan felt mixed feelings. She was touched, but more so she felt guilty. She was the one who had beaten Xing Siqing. She was ready to be med by the elders of the two families. So, she didnt argue or try to defend herself earlier, thinking let the punishment be whatever it may be. But unexpectedly the things turned out okay! After seeing off Mrs. Huo, Nangong Ci went back to his office while Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan to the first floor for a check-up. Besides a scratch on her arm and a small bruise on her back from being hit by the metal part of the bag, there was no serious injury. When Huo Jingshen went to get medicine, he called her back, Wait here for me, dont move, understand? Su Wanwan obediently nodded. Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. Because of the fight, her long curly hair was tousled, highlighting her tender features, looking incredibly well-behaved. Where was the shrew from the video? Well, considering she was injured, they could settle the scorester at home. * * After Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan waited on a long bench in the hallway. It was already nine oclock in the night, there were not many people on the first floor, and it seemed very quiet. She took out her cell phone from her bag and saw several missed calls. Apart from a call from Pan Hui, the others came from a strange local number. Who could it be? Frowning, she was about to call that number back Make way, please make way! A sudden hustle and bustle of footsteps echoed, apanied by the harsh sound of wheels scraping across the floor. Su Wanwan looked up to see a few medical staff pushing a gurney. Behind them was a tall and cold man. He wore a white shirt and ck pants. There was fresh blood on his white shirt, which was startling at first nce. As he got closer and she could see his face, Su Wanwans eyes widened. Xiao Yebai? Why was he here? Shouldnt he be at the hotel celebrating his wedding anniversary with Weiyi at this time? Xiao Yebai didnt notice her. He furrowed his brows, his lips tightly pressed into a straight line. Wearing sses, his face was tense, and he looked cold and moody. He walked straight past her and continued forward following the gurney. Su Wanwan instinctively followed him. The medical staff pushed the gurney into the elevator, and when the man was about to get in, she quickly reached out and grabbed him. Xiao Yebai! Xiao Yebai was forced to halt. He turned to the side, the coldness in his eyes focusing on the arm that had been grabbed, then slowly looked up at her. With that kind of look, if it had happened in the past, Su Wanwan would definitely not dare to be so bold. But things were different now. Why are you here? Wheres Weiyi? She demanded. Seeing that Xiao Yebai wasnt talking, Su Wanwan looked at the gurney and saw a woman lying on it. The woman had short ck hair and her face was turned inward so she couldnt see it clearly. All she could hear were painful groans. Are you going to use the elevator or not? Theres no time. The pregnant woman must have surgery immediately! The medical staff inside began to rush them. Pregnant? She needs surgery? Su Wanwan was immediately infuriated. She stared at the tall and indifferent man in front of her and cursed loudly, You bastard, youre not even human! Weiyi loves you so much, she treats you so well, and yet you secretly cheat on her! Even getting your mistress pregnant! Youre such a bastard! The bastard looked at her, his gaze was cold, his voice cold, Let go. Today is your wedding anniversary, Weiyi bought so many gifts for you, she spent so much money, prepared so carefully, all for tonight! And here you are, apanying a mistress to abort a child, youre just a fucking beast! Chapter 107 - 107:107, Xiaobai is a big jerk! Chapter 107:107, Xiaobai is a big jerk! Trantor: 549690339 We are going to see Weiyi now, and you are going to apologize to her Su Wanwan said as she tried to drag him out of the room. But just as they took a couple of steps, Xiao Yebai jerkily pulled his hand free and headed towards the elevator. Su Wenwen was so furious that she darted ahead and aimed a kick at him without a word. Because he was so tall, her kicknded on his leg instead, and a small footprint appeared instantly on his ck trousers. Xiao Yebai was forced to stop once more. He turned around, and the harshly bright corridor lights made the gaze hidden behind his sses seem murky and unclear. His face expressionless, his voice cold and void of any emotion, he said, Zhiwei needs to have surgery for her miscarriage. If anything goes wrong because of your dy, you will be held responsible. Zhiwei? Wasnt that Xiao Yebais cousin? When did shee back? Why hadnt Weiyi told her? Most importantly A surgery for a miscarriage? What the hell was going on?! Su Wanwan had countless questions swirling in her mind. But just as she was about to demand answers, another deeper and colder male voice echoed behind her. What did I just say? Feeling her body tremble involuntarily, Su Wenwen quickly turned to look behind her. Huo Jingshen was standing there, a bag dangling from his fingers. His handsome face was dark, and his gaze was icy and sharp. Xiao Yebai, meanwhile, had already made his way into the elevator. By the time the elevator doors closed and Su Wanwen had scrambled to react, it had already be toote. She desperately kept pressing the button to call the elevator, but soon enough, another hand with distinct joints grabbed onto her arm. Huo Jingshen started pulling her in the opposite direction. Let go of me. I have something important to do. You, jerk, let me go. Didnt you hear me, are you deaf Su Wanwan was absolutely astounded, her hands scratching and iling at him. But it was no use. Her proudbat skills seemed like nothingpared to this man. She was easily overpowered within seconds The area on her shoulder where the bruise was ached terribly as he held her firmly. Su Wanwan nearly burst into tears out of the sheer pain, she kept pushing him but he was unmoveable. Finally, Huo Jingshen eased his grip. As soon as he did, he noted her tearful eyes. His lips thinned, expression severe as he asked, Will you dare to ignore my words again in the future? Su Wanwan red at him through teary eyes, unable to say a word. In front of him, she was pitiful; her eyes moist, her mouth pouting Where had the fierce little tiger from before disappeared? Huo Jingshens heart softened at the sight, his tone gentler as he stroked her cheek and said affectionately, From now on, just obey your husbands words Are you crazy? Cant you see Im injured! You are causing me so much pain, jerk! Huo Jingshen: For that fleeting moment, as he continued to touch her smooth cheek, he felt a strong urge to pinch her instead! Such a disobedient child! Clearly, he couldnt count on her to show remorse for her actions. So, he did what he felt like doing. He pinched her cheek. Ah! Screaming in pain, Su Wanwan instantly tried to scratch his hand. Huo Jingshen instantly grabbed both of her restless hands and held them in his with a stern expression. His voice was low and stern, Go home and cut your nails. Why should I? Su Wanwan retorted. Did he have control over everything, even her fingernails? Thats outrageous! Are they long so you can get into more fights? Huo Jingshen retorted coldly. Su Wanwan faltered and argued, I I was defending myself! You said it yourself! Huo Jingshen chuckled and started pulling her away with him. As they walked, he lectured her relentlessly, All day long, if youre not getting into fights, youre causing trouble for me. Now, you want to meddle in other peoples affairs too? Weiyi is my best friend. She is not some passerby. Su Wanwan retorted defiantly. Is it wrong for me to care for a friend? All you need to care about is your own husband. After saying this, Huo Jingshen added, Dont meddle in the affairs of other peoples husbands. Su Wanwan instantly thought of Xiao Yebai and anger bubbled up within her, All you men are heartless bastards, without exception! None of you are any good at all! Scumbags! The furrows deepened on Huo Jingshens face, which had just recently softened. He gripped her soft hand, warning in his voice, Dont lump your perfect husband with those scumbags. So shameless! Su Wenwen pursed her mouth, feeling upset. She had always thought that Mo Weiyi was the luckiest woman in the world. She came from a wealthy family, she was beautiful, was loved by so many elders, and married to her first love she had been in love with for 10 years. It was almost like a real-life fairy tale of a princess and a prince. But today, on an important day like their wedding anniversary, her husband had chosen to apany his sister for an abortion? Its true that Xiao Zhiwei was Xiao Yebais own sister, but shouldnt such matters be apanied by ones husband or boyfriend? Why should Xiao Zhiweis brother have to apany her? Chapter 108 - 108:108, Xiaobai, I am waiting for you Chapter 108:108, Xiaobai, I am waiting for you Trantor: 549690339 | Wanwan recalled how Mo Weiyi had repeatedlyined that Xiao Zhiwei seemed to have a severe brotherplex No, she couldnt think like that anymore. In the car, Su Wanwan instantly called Mo Weiyi. Weiyi, where are you? Im at the hotel. Do you want me to send you some pictures? I should tell you, this room is full of rose petals, all arranged by myself Where is Xiaobai? Su Wanwan interrupted her. Xiaobai said he wouldeter. Im waiting to have a candlelight dinner with him, Mo Weiyi continued, sounding whiny, Baby Wanwan, I arrived here at six oclock, and Ive been waiting for three hours. Im really starving, and Im so pitiful. Listening to her coquettish voice, Su Wanwan felt relieved, Thats good then. I thought he wasnting. How could it be? I just called him to hurry him up. He said Xiao Zhiwei wasnt feeling well and was taken to the hospital. He said he wille after hes done with that. Its really annoying; that bitch causes trouble every time shees back to the country. I think shes definitely doing it on purpose! Having said that, Mo Weiyi changed the topic, Speaking of which, should I take a bath now or wait for Xiaobai? But then, when should I wear my bunny pajamas Alright, alright. Just do whatever you want. I have to go. Im busy here. Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone. * * * After a hectic day, she could finally rxpletely. When they arrived at the Imperial Court, right after Huo Jingshen parked the car, he turned his head to find Su Wanwan sleeping like a baby. Under the bright lights of the car, she quietly leaned on the back of the seat with her eyes closed; her long, lush eyshes cast two shadows on her moon-like, pale cheeks; her mouth was slightly poutedshe looked so innocent Wife, Huo Jingshen looked at her, gently whispering, Wake up. Were home. Baby. Sweetheart. My dear. After calling her several times, Su Wanwan still showed no response. Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, exited the car, and then lifted her from the passenger seat. Hmm Su Wanwan, with her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, unconsciously mumbled something but was still unwilling to open her eyes. In the end, she found afortable position, like a kitten finally finding a cosy spot, and continued to sleep peacefully. In the dimly lit garage, the light was very dim. The man stood tall, looking at the peacefully sleeping girl in his arms, his heart shattered into pieces. How good it would be if she could always stay this docile? Unfortunately Once she wakes up, she will turn from a little kitten into a wild cat. * * At the hospital. In the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department. An hourter, the operating room light finally went off. Whos the patients family member? Xiao Yebai stood up. The doctor removed his mask, What happened? The child was already four months along. Why didnt youe for a surgery earlier? Is the pregnant woman okay? Seeing the mans cold expression and emotionless voice, the doctor looked even more unhappy, You young people only know how to enjoy yourselves. Dont you know how to take care of your body? If you dont want a child, you should take precautions in advance. Arent you adults? Dont you know this basic knowledge? Is the pregnant woman okay? Xiao Yebai repeated the same question. The doctor was very impatient, Youre only worrying now. Where were you earlier? Xiao Yebais cold ck pupils narrowed, and he spoke coldly, Since shes fine, please take good care of her. I have to go now. Hey, what do you mean by that Before the doctor could finish his sentence, the man had already turned around and left. * * At the Huashang Hotel. Inside the seven-star presidential suite, Mo Weiyiy on the luxurious long couch, her beautiful eyes facing the drizzling rain outside the window, and her beautiful little face was full of gloom. She nced at the timeit was half past ten. Stinky Xiaobai! He promised her that he wouldnt work overtime, but in the end, he still dragged it thiste! And that bitch, she started acting up as soon as she got back to the country; iming that she was feeling unwell-she was clearly doing it on purpose! She originally nned to have a candlelight dinner first, then watch the sweet DVD from their wedding, have a mandarin duck bath afterward, and finally wear the bunny pajamas she had carefully prepared But now, she felt that there simply wasnt enough time, and all her ns seemed to be going down the drain! Mo Weiyi, brimming with anger, picked up her phone and dialed a number again. This time, unlike before, the call connected very quickly, and the mans deep and emotionless voice said, Whats the matter? Xiaobai. Mo Weiyis soft voice sounded aggrieved, When are you finallying? Its already half past ten. If you donte soon, today will already be over. I am driving. Ill be there in half an hour. Great! Then hurry up! Mo Weiyi instantly became cheerful. She jumped up from the couch, smiling happily, its raining again outside. Drive carefully and be safe-ill wait for you. Alright. After ending the call, Mo Weiyi immediately went to the dressing mirror to check her appearance.. Chapter 109 - 109:109, Princess, are you jealous? Chapter 109:109, Princess, are you jealous? Trantor: 549690339 Her tall figure was fully disyed by the goose-yellow floor-length dress she put on, her hair was styled into a Korean bun by the hairstylist today, and she wore delicate nude makeup. Apart from the two band-aids that were a bit of an eyesore on her neck, from head to toe, she was the picture of perfection! Yet Time was running out. Mo Weiyi set about to run a bath. After taking a bath, she applied a fragrant body lotion, changed into bunny pajamas, wrapped up in a bathrobe, andy on the bed, waiting for him. However, as time flew, and she kept waiting, but he didnt arrive, her eyelids got heavier and heavier. It was already her usual time to sleep. Mo Weiyi, clutching her phone, nodded off little by little, like a chicken pecking at the grains. Eventually, she couldnt resist the sleepiness. Her head tilted, and she closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep. * * The next day, a shrill ringtone on the phone abruptly woke her up. Mo Weiyi opened her eyes to find that the day had already dawned. She was lying in bed, all alone in the massive presidential suite. Where was Xiaobai? The phone was still ringing, she wasnt able to think through, so she decided to answer the call first, Dad? Weiyi, where are you? Mo Yaoxiong asked. I am Hurry to the hospital. Mo Yaoxiong cut her off, Zhiwei returned homest night, her condition isnt good. Xiaobai stayed with her overnight. You need toe quickly. With that, the call was disconnected. Mo Weiyi frowned her delicate eyebrows. It took her a moment to fullyprehend the meaning of his words. So, Xiaobai didntest night because of Xiao Zhiwei? She closed her eyes for a moment and she could feel her body trembling slightly. A few secondster, Mo Weiyi got up, got dressed, washed her face, and put on makeup. After finishing everything, she gave onest look at the carefully decorated room, picked up her bag, turned around, and quickly left. She took the elevator downstairs to the lobby, marched straight out of the hotel. It was six oclock and there werent many people in the hotel, so Mo Weiyi walked fast and was just about to step out of the hotels entrance when a figure came darting from the side. She was knocked aside, and almost fell on the ground. Just in the nick of time, a mans hand gripped her arm, preventing her fall. The strong smell of tobo and alcohol invaded her nostrils. Mo Weiyi quickly regained her footing, Thankyou! Long hair cascading over the shoulders, wearing a bewitching yellow dress, with a face as beautiful as Shunhua and eyes as lovely as the spring water, a familiar deep male voice said, Little Princess, where are you off to? While the tone of his voice was slightly frivolous, upon seeing the mans face clearly, Mo Weiyis eyes instantly shed with surprise. It was Chu Xiuhuang! The notorious yboy from the Chu family. Most importantly, she had almost be engaged to him two years ago! Though at that time, she purposefully agreed to the proposal just to provoke Xiaobai, their parents had met, and the gifts from the groom to the brides family had also been given. Almost everyone in Nanchengs high society was aware about it. One could say, apart from the final wedding feast, there was no difference between them and an engaged couple. But then she jumped into Xiaobais bed, sessfully won over that iceberg, and the matter concerning her marriage to Chu Xiuhuang was left unattended. She was just eighteen at the time. Being young and inexperienced in dealing with suchplex rtionships, she turned to Mo Yaoxiong to cancel the engagement and promptly eloped with Xiaobai to their honeymoon. Upon returning home, she heard that Chu Xiuhuang had been carelessly frolicking with a bunch of women, changing his girlfriend almost every month. Hence, she decided to move on from the incident. Over the past two years, since the Chu family was an aristocratic family of schrs and the Mo family was in business, there was little interaction between the two families. Therefore, they hardly had any opportunities to meet. Little did she know, they would meet here. It was a little awkward. Seeing that Mo Weiyi appeared lost and didnt speak, Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows again and continued in a joking tone, Well, Little Princess, youre not here to rent a room with someone, just like me, are you? At his words, Mo Weiyi red at him with her rounded cat-like eyes, You think everyone is like you! Chu Xiuhuang smiled indifferently with his handsome face looking exceptionally charming, Where are you going? Ill give you a lift. No need! Little Princess, if Im not mistaken, we have had a bit of a fleeting rtionship in the past What the hell are you talking about? Mo Weiyi eximed, her pretty face turning red, All I did was dump you, alright? What fleeting rtionship are you talking about? Can you please not spout nonsense? Chu Xiuhuang stillughed devilishly, Right, you dumped me. Youre the second woman in the world who has had the audacity to do so. And youre still hung up on that? This is not the first time Ive been dumped! Because. His smile suddenly disappeared, he retorted, lowering his voice, each word spoken with a chilling tone, The first woman who dumped me is already dead. Mo Weiyi felt a shiver run down her spine, You Oh, Im just joking with you. Chu Xiuhuang quickly resumed his charming smile and bent over in a gentlemanly way, My secretary has arrived, lets go. I will drop you off on the way. Im not going! Mo Weiyi felt this person was too ominous. Xiaobai was much better, although icy cold, he did not repeatedly scare people unpredictably. You might have trouble hailing a taxi right now. Chu Xiuhuang said as he headed towards the stairs, seemingly not insisting, Nancheng is weing several foreign leaders today, the whole city is on high alert. If you dont leave now, you probably wont get home until noon. Mo Weiyi: No wonder there are so few cars on the road. But she still had to go to the hospital to find Xiaobai. Looking at the ck Cayenne parked by the side of the road, a few secondster, Mo Weiyi waspelled to hurry up and follow. * * Where is Little Princess going? After getting into the car, Chu Xiuhuang askedzily. Nangong Hospital. Secretary Shi, first take Little Princess to Nangong Hospital. Okay, Young Master Chu. After the female secretary responded, she quickly and proficiently drove the car out. Although Mo Weiyi was still studying, she asionally attended gatherings in the upper-ss circles and had heard gossip about this female secretary of Chu Xiuhuang. Because the Chu family was an aristocratic family of schrs with several generations involved in literary and artistic work, only Chu Xiuhuang was a rebellious heir who ventured into the business world. He spent his days indulging in nightlife, drinking, racing, and ying with women. It is said that almost allpany matters were delegated to this female secretary to handle and manage. It was rumored that the sess of Chu Xiuhuangs investmentpany wasrgely credited to this powerful woman behind the scenes. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but take a few extra nces at her. But this Secretary Shi was dressed in a conservative ck professional suit, her long ck hair covered most of her cheeks, and she was wearing huge ck wide-framed sses. In summary, she hid herself so well, her focus never straying from the road as she drove, her facial expressions remained neutral you couldnt discern her specific appearance. Finally arriving at the hospital, Mo Weiyi quickly opened the car door and got out, Goodbye. Never to meet again! A figure in a light yellow outfit limped towards the hospital, Chu Xiuhuang gazed at her out of the corner of his eyes for quite some time, until Young Master Chu, can we go now? The crisp and clean voice of the woman broke the silence. No. Chu Xiuhuang didnt even turn his head, Im not done watching. ** It wasnt until Mo Weiyi got out of the car that she realized she had twisted her ankle. Limping to the ward, she opened the door, and saw Xiao Zhiwei, who was leaning on the head of the bed. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown. The morning suning in from the window fell on her, entuating her cold, indifferent eyes and frail figure. Her hair was a bit longer than four years ago, but it was still only shoulder length, ck and rigid, without any styling. Her disposition was somewhat simr to Xiao Yebais, both were usually expressionless and cold. But their looks were worlds apart. From Mo Weiyis discerning point of view, Xiao Zhiweis features were very ordinary. Whether taken apart or put together, at most, they could only be considered delicate, whichpletely shed with her superior green tea bitch attitude. After all, shouldnt the face of a green tea bitch match the look of a viral selfie-taking snake? Princess, you look really pretty today. Xiao Zhiwei was also observing Mo Weiyi. Although she spoke words of praise, her tone was obviously mocking. Mo Weiyi curled her red lips andughed. Herughter was bright and sweet. Thank you. I am this beautiful every day. Its probably because you havent seen me for four years, so youre momentarily dazzled. I canpletely understand your feelings. These words instantly stiffened Xiao Zhiweis face, making her look unsightly. She truly despised Mo Weiyis way of speaking. Its always so high and mighty, from confident to bloated, from proud to arrogant. Did she really think of herself as a princess? I heard that youre not feeling well? Walking in her elegant high heels, ignoring the pain in her ankle, Mo Weiyi walked over with style, You got sick as soon as you returned to the country, thats quite a coincidence, isnt it? Chapter 110 - 110:110, the one who flirts first is cheap! Chapter 110:110, the one who flirts first is cheap! Trantor: 549690339 Looking at Xiao Zhiweis pale face, she curled her red lips and continued to smile, My father kindly sent you to study in Canada, he paid for you to attend the best school and arranged the mostfortable amodation. But you, instead of studying, you messed around with men? Got cheated by a married man? Now that you have nowhere to go, youe back to Xiaobai? To have him clean up your mess? Huh, I noticed your skin has thickened more than it was four years ago. Xiao Zhiwei let out a cold snicker, Can I take that as, because my brother took care of me at the hospital all nightst night, Princess is losing her temper on me because she is jealous? Mo Weiyi stopped smiling, her fingers clenched tight. When she thought about what happenedst night, she couldnt bring herself tough. Havent you two been married for two years already? Why does our dear Princess have such a meager feeling of security? Are you so wary even of me, your own sister-inw? Do you distrust my brother that much? Or do youck confidence in your own charm? The more Xiao Zhiwei said, the more triumphant herughter became, her words were clearly provocative and mocking, After all, you were the one who willingly climbed into my brothers bed and seduced him. Did you think my brother would marry you, given his personality? You intentionally offered your virginity, then let our father force my brother to take responsibility for you. Princess, you really dare to do anything for a man. But my brother doesnt even like you, all he feels for you is She caught sight of someoneing in out of the corner of her eye. She immediately stopped talking. But Mo Weiyi couldnt hold back any longer, she raised her hand and pped Xiao Zhiwei. Xiao Zhiwei didnt dodge. After a crisp p, she screamed and turned her face away. At the same time, there was a hurried flurry of footsteps inside the hospital room. Immediately after, an authoritative voice chided her, Weiyi, what are you doing? It was the voice of Mo Yaoxiong. Mo Weiyi turned around, ignoring her father to look at the handsome and indifferent man behind her. Xiao Yebai was dressed just as he was yesterday, no different from his usual meticulously neat attire, except for his clothes which were now somewhat wrinkled, and there was arge bloodstain at the hem of his white shirt. Ignoring the pain in her foot, Mo Weiyi walked over to him, Xiaobai, are you hurt? As she carefully inspected his wound, he took a step back just before she could touch him. It was a slight movement. But it was enough to hurt Mo Weiyis feelings. She looked up and saw the mans cold facial contours, his eyes somewhat darkened due to the reflection on his sses, coupled with his emotionless face Mo Weiyi pouted. Was he ming her for hitting Xiao Zhiwei just now? Dont dirty your hands, said Xiao Yebai. Mo Weiyi felt a sudden rush of joy, What are you talking about, I will never consider you dirty. Having said that, she reached out to inspect his shirt and found that it was all bloodstained, which made her feel relieved. On the other side, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xiao Zhiweis injured face and demanded, Weiyi, what is going on? Why couldnt you discuss this calmly and resorted to violence? Mo Weiyi turned around angrily, using, She started it! She was the one who talked dirty! Dont you know Xiao Zhiwei just had an abortion? Mo Weiyi was shocked. An abortion? But she quickly responded, It wasnt my fault she had an abortion, why is she taking her anger out on me? What kind of attitude is that? Mo Yaoxiong rarely lost his temper with his daughter. Mo Weiyi didnt reply, she just twirled her hair with her fingers to vent her frustration. Uncle Mo, please dont me Princess, Xiao Zhiwei said coldly, Its normal for her to be upset since my brother spent the entire night here with me. Mo Weiyi gave a dismissive nce at the woman in the medical bed, thinking to herself, good, you know. But what she heard next Its not the first time Ive been pped by Princess, Uncle Mo, why do you overreact as if its the first time youre seeing this. Mo Weiyi couldnt stand her tone, which hinted at many unspeakable things, and warned with a straight-faced, Xiao Zhiwei, be respectful when you talk to my father! Shut up! Mo Yaoxiong rebuked. Mo Weiyi looked at her father, her eyes welling up with tears, and then she immediately turned to look out of the window. The hospital room turned quiet for a while. Then Xiao Yebais cold voice broke the silence, It was my mistakest night, I lost my phone suddenly and couldnt call Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiongs face eased a bit, leaning slightly, he said, Weiyi,e outside with me. Suppressing her tears, Mo Weiyi limped away. ** In the corridor. When Xiao Zhiwei got homest night, she said she didnt feel well. It was Yebai who took her to the hospital for surgery. After the surgery, Xiao Zhiwei suddenly had a significant hemorrhage, so Yebai stayed with her here. They didnt tell you about it, probably to protect Xiao Zhiwei, because Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, She might never be able to have children again. Mo Weiyis heart sank. Xiao Zhiwei She will never be able to have children again? Shes not in a good mood, so be more patient with her. Her parents dont know about it, and in Nancheng, Yebai is her only rtive. Since you and Yebai are husband and wife, you two are family from now on.. You cant be as wilful and unreasonable as before, do you understand? Chapter 111 - 111: ill, lift up high Chapter 111: ill, lift up high Trantor: 549690339 i Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips, What should I do if she always deliberately provokes me? I cant help it. She thought she had a very good temperament, but Xiao Zhiwei always had the ability to instantly touch her wound, she had just lost control Weiyi, youre twenty years old this year, youre an adult, youre not a child, you should learn how to control your emotions. If you want to continue with Yebai, you cant do things without considering his feelings. Do you understand? Mo Yaoxiongs words had a deeper meaning, Anyway, she will be staying in the hospital for a while. Once shes fully recovered, I will arrange for her to leave Nancheng. If you really dont want to see her, you dont have to visit the hospital during this time to avoid more conflicts. Mo Weiyi could only nod her head. * * In the hospital ward. Xiao Yebai looked at the woman on the bed, and spoke coldly, What did I tell you before? Xiao Zhiwei bit her lips, her eyes full of unwillingness, Brother, you just saw it, she hit me! Ive told you before, I dont like anyone interfering in my rtionship with her, even if youre my sister. Xiao Zhiwei almost bit through her lips, But did I say something wrong? She relies on the fact that she is the heiress of the Mo family, she wants to have anything she likes. If she hadnt deliberately seduced you into bed that year, you wouldnt have married her and agreed to stay in the Mo family. Now everyone in Nancheng looks down on you. They all say behind your back that youre the Mo familys son-inw and that youre a freeloader The next words were swallowed back in fear. Xiao Yebai stood there, his hands in his suit pockets, his lips tightly closed, and his profile cold. The pair of eyes behind the sses were unnaturally ruthless and terrifying. Like a frozen de. Extremely sharp. Xiao Zhiwei dared not speak. The ward fell into a deadly silence. After an unknown amount of time, the mans fierceness slowly faded away. I dont want to say any more unnecessary words. Xiao Yebais voice was low and indifferent, without any ups or downs, In the future, if you cross the line, I wont interfere in anything in your life, even if your aunt and uncle have given me years of nurturing. He paused, his thin lips raised a trace of extreme mockery, However, Mo Yaoxiong has already given your Xiao family five million, hasnt he? Xiao Zhiweis clenched her hands tightly, her pale face was extremely embarrassed and awkward. Yes. Years ago, Mo Yaoxiong took Xiao Yebai away from his aunts and uncles house where he had been fostered after his parents died for just 5 million. Even though Xiao Yebai was already fifteen at the time, how was this different from selling a child for money? The ones who were the least qualified to interfere in his life were these so-called aunts and uncles from the Xiao family. * * After Mo Yaoxiong left, when Mo Weiyi returned to the ward, Xiao Yebai was sitting on the sofa peeling fruit. The sunlight shone in from the window, casting a light golden glow on his body. His usually cold face seemed somewhat warm. He slightly lowered his head, a side view of his handsome face, focused eyes, slender and pale fingers. This man, even peeling a fruit looks so good. Mo Weiyi immediately sat down next to him, her voice soft, Xiaobai, can I help you peel it? No need. The mans voice was deep, It will be done soon. Just as Mo Weiyi was about to speak, a cold voice rang out I cant afford to eat the apple that Princess has peeled. Its Xiao Zhiwei again! Mo Weiyi felt her good mood disappear in an instant. This bitch! Why is she always so annoying! Thinking of Mo Yaoxiongs words, she forcibly held back her anger. But it was too ufortable not to vent her anger! So she intentionally leaned on Xiao Yebais arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and cooed in a soft voice, Xiaobai, I received the gift you sent me yesterday, I really like it. Can you help me name themter? OK. Xiao Yebai replied, as he ced the peeled apple into the fruit bowl, Ill go to thepanyter. Ill have Lao Liu send you home. Hmm, I always listen to Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi sweetly replied, then lifted her eyes. Sure enough, Xiao Zhiweis face looked like she had been publicly pped, extremely ugly. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, feeling delighted. When Xiao Yebai got up and went to the kitchte, she immediately followed him and closed the door. Humph! Take that! She locked the door, ran to him from behind, embracing him, her face resting against his back,ining in a possum-like manner, Xiaobai, I waited for you all nightst night. I had prepared a room full of surprises, but you didnt even see them. And when I came here just now, someone bumped into me and I sprained my ankle. It hurts so much. The man paused in his fruit washing. Then, he dried his fingers, turned around and asked, Which foot did you sprain? Mo Weiyi nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, I sprained my right foot, it hurts so much. Ill call the doctor. No need. Mo Weiyi held his hand, her eyes curving into a smile, I dont need a doctor. Xiao Yebai looked at the delicate face in front of him, What do you mean? Mo Weiyis smile became even sweeter. In a soft voice, she said, I want you tofort me. I want kisses, hugs, and to be picked up by Xiaobai.. Xiao Yebai: Quick, your sister is going to call for you soon. Fast, fast. Having said that, Mo Weiyi opened her arms for a hug. Xiao Yebais eyebrows twitched. Two secondster, he picked her up like a child and ced her on the clean washbasin nearby. The two stared at each other, eyes interlocked. This height, is suitable for certain actions. The tall and handsome man was just about to bend over when Mo Weiyi grabbed his shirt. His cool yet pleasant scent mixed with a faint hint of tobo smell. At that moment, all her displeasure vanished. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes. Right now, all she could think about was Xiao Yebai, the man she madly loved. Brother? Brother, can youe and help me? Brother At this moment, someones annoying voice came in persistently through the door. Mo Weiyi: That damned woman! Suddenly, her chin was pinched. Mo Weiyi was slightly startled at first, then she immediately closed her eyes. She did not know how much time had passed. Xiaobai Mo Weiyis voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness, Have you been pacified yet? Mo Weiyi nodded her head, her face filled with a radiant smile. She looked like a sunflower blooming in summer, Xiaobai has pacified me, I am not angry anymore. Xiao Yebai made a Hmm sound. He let go of her hand and reached for the fruit. As he turned around, his face had regained the usual calm andposed appearance. Where was the passionate look from just a moment ago? What a gentlemanly scoundrel! Mo Weiyi muttered in her heart. She sat there, waited for her face to cool down before slowly jumping down from wash basin. She opened the door and left. * * Tianquan Royal Court. Su Wanwan was sleeping soundly until she was woken up by a phone call. She opened her eyes to find herself lying in someones arms. What the heck! Su Wanwans face instantly flushed. She remembered that she fell asleep in the car the night before. She vaguely remembered being carried into the shower, then being treated with medicine. Since she was hurt on the back, the application of medicine was mingled with a massage. It felt sofortable that she dozed off on the spot. Amazing, this guy took advantage of her! Taking advantage of someones predicament! Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, wrapped herself in a thin nket, and reached for the phone. She checked the time on her way. It was only 7:40 in the morning? She answered the call, Mo Xiaose, have you gone mad, calling me so early in the morning. Wanwan, Im so pitiful, so miserable. Mo Weiyis cry came through the phone. What happened to you? Su Wanwan quickly asked. I sprained my ankle, the doctor says I need to rest at home for a week. I cant go to the school opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, So you have to go with your Huo Boss. Is that all? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Was it necessary to call me this early? Eh, I didnt notice. I woke up too early today. Su Wanwan didnt give it much thought, and glossed over it with a few words before hanging up. Just after putting down the phone. Ahhh! Su Wanwan screamed in fright. You ungrateful brat. Huo Jingshen embraced her. His deep voice, also carried a unique huskiness and maism when he woke up. The droopy ck hair made his face look extraordinarily charming. Why are you screaming? You used me all night, and now you want to run away? What what are you talking about? Su Wanwan stuttered nervously.. Chapter 112 - 112:112, Perfect Husband Chapter 112:112, Perfect Husband Trantor: 549690339 Who was Sleeping like a little pigst night? Tossing and turning from one end of my arms to the other, nuzzling all over Youre full of shit! How could she be like that! Seeing her blushing face filled with indignation, Huo Jingshen couldnt hold back hisughter. You were cold, you kept snuggling into me. Your poor husbands arms were numbed by your weight, and now you woke up and dont want to admit it? Its summer right now, cold my ass! Su Wanwan was toozy to argue with him and reached out to push him away. Youre so heavy its killing me. Get up I need to get up. -Why so rushed? The mans voice suddenly grew deeper. I checked when I helped you bathst night. Four days should have passed, right? Su Wanwan:? She froze for a second, suddenly understanding what he was referring to. Holy crap. Was he actually keeping track of her menstrual cycle every day? Getting the chills, Su Wanwan raised both hands ready to hit him: You shameless jerk, you you Youre a freaking pervert! Huo Jingshen just scoffed, easily subduing her. As a husband, I care for you pamper you, protect you in front of others, cook tasty meals for you in private, and even remember your menstrual cycle. Your perfect husband is a pervert? With that said, he stopped talking. He only meant to tease her, but now. After doing some calctions, the two have been married for a month now, but theyve only really been together once. Which is simply uneptable for a married and sexually mature male. Seeing her shivering in fear, Huo Jingshens heart softened. He realized he may have left a bad impression on herst time and caused some psychological trauma. So he lowered his voice, gently coaxing, Dont be afraid. This time, it wont be like before Bullshit! Su Wanwan blurted out, interrupting him. Youre so useless, you made me suffer for three full days! Huo Jingshens face froze. Not a trace of softness remained, and his handsome face turned as ck as the bottom of a pot. Seeing his reaction, Su Wanwan cowered and quickly said, I really need to get up. I promised to be at the driving school at ten oclock. As expected, this seemed to distract Huo Jingshen. Driving school? Yes, yes, yes, Su Wanwan quickly nodded. With that skinny four-eyed nerd? She was pissed, Cant you show some respect for my instructor? So what if Pan Hui is skinny and wears sses? Was there a need for such personal attacks? Such pettiness. You consider him your instructor, but hes considering you as a side girl. What rubbish are you spouting now? Su Wanwan was annoyed with what he said. What if Pan Hui did have some thoughts about her in that way? He was always serious and professional when he taught her driving, never had he overstepped his boundaries. Seeing his eyes suddenly narrow and his face getting darker, the little spark of rebelliousness in Su Wanwan immediately vanished. She hurriedly exined I really have a lesson at ten, it takes an hour and a half to get there. Were running out of time. Huo Jingshen remained unmoving. Su Wanwan had no choice but to y herst card. If you really want to do it how about waiting until I finish my driving lessons in the next two days then we Then 111 just go live in the school dormitory where you cant get me haha! Of course, she didnt dare to actually say thest sentence. With an unreadable expression on his face, Huo Jingshen remained silent, seemingly scrutinizing the sincerity of her words, or perhaps contemting something else. Su Wanwan blinked her beautiful eyes innocently. If you hurt me, I wont be able to go to ss, and school starts the day after tomorrow. Eventually, Huo Jingshen let her go. Theres plenty of times, wont mess with you today. Su Wanwan instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She finally got away for the moment. The next second. In two days time, youll be the one initiating it, Huo Jingshen finished, then added cheekily, Remember to remind me. Su Wanwan:? Initiate my ass! Remind? Remind my foot. * At ro AM, Su Wanwan rode the shuttle bus across half of Nancheng and finally arrived at the driving school located in the suburbs. But, she had been waiting at the usual spot for almost ro minutes and Pan Hui was still nowhere in sight. Are you Su Wanwan? An unfamiliar voice asked. As Su Wanwan turned around, She saw a driving school staff member approaching with a middle-ageddy who was dressed neatly and wearing the unified uniform of the driving school. This is your new instructor, Ms. Zhou. Su Wanwan was surprised, Where is Pan Hui? Pan Hui has been assigned to the night shift. What? After Su Wanwan got into her driving school car and left, the staff member quickly moved to the side, picked up his phone and dialed a number. Hello Mr. Jis assistant. Yes, Pan Hui has been transferred, Ive swapped him with the only female instructor in the driving school to be Miss Sus instructor, shes in her lesson right now. Youre wee, youre wee.. Chapter 113 - 113:113, Little Junior Sister! Chapter 113:113, Little Junior Sister! Trantor: 549690339 Because she wanted to get her drivers license as soon as possible, Su Wanwan scheduled her lessons for the next two days to be very full. From 10 a.m. to 1130 a.m. in the morning, and then rest, have a meal, and start sses from 1 p.m. in the afternoon. The weather at the end of August is still very hot. Especially between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., the sun shines brightly on the earth. Even though there is air conditioning in the car, Su Wanwan was starting to feel the heat. During a break, she went to the cafe, ordered arge iced milk tea, and had just sat down to take a sip when two girls at the next table suddenly started chatting excitedly: Wow, look, whos that handsome guy? Is he some kind of big star? Silver hair, wow, is he Wu Yifan? Wu Yifans hair has been dyed ck long ago! Then who is he? Hes so handsome, oh my gosh Wow, he looked over here, ah I am going to die Fan girls in driving school? Listening to all this made Su Wanwan roll her eyes, but out of curiosity, she also lifted her eyes to look. She saw a young man standing at the entrance of the cafe. He was quite tall and dressed stylishly. He was wearing ripped skinny jeans and a white tank top, showing off his muscr arms, with short silver hair and matching sunsses. Something about him felt familiar? Before she could take a closer look, the man had already walked in, heading straight for her table. Little sister! Puff! Hearing that voice, Su Wanwan almost sprayed out the milk tea she had just sipped. Ye Qitian had already approached, removing his sunsses to reveal a face that was even more delicate than a womans. He had nted eyebrows, star-like eyes, and silver hair, making him look like the perfect reincarnation of a manga male protagonist. Indeed, he resembled Wu Yifan somewhat, causing the two girls at the next table to whisper excitedly. Little sister. Ye Qitian looked touched, I didnt expect you to be so excited to see me. Alright, I forgive you for not answering my calls yesterday. Su Wanwan regained her breath, looked up at him, What are you doing here? I specially flew from Los Angeles to find you. Ye Qitian held her small hand Come on, lets go for a drive! No! Su Wanwan pulled her hand away, I have driving lessons. What lessons? Road test, subject three. Ye Qitian stared at her, then, Puhahaha! Su Wanwan: Stop pretending hahaha, the only female contestant who has ced in the top three in two consecutive off-road races hahaha, shes going to study subject three hahaha, why dont you just say Kobes going to study three-stepyups hahaha! I need to get my drivers license! Seeing him stillughing like a fool, Su Wanwan couldnt resist pping him on the forehead, Stop freakingughing! Ye Qitian held his forehead, grimacing with pain, Little sister, besides my mother, youre the only woman in the world who dares to hit me. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, I dont have such a showy son like you. Ill take that as apliment for my handsomeness. Ye Qitian let her hand go and looked at her with affectionate eyes, Dont worry, as long as I, Ye Qitian, am around, no one in Nancheng will dare to bully you! Are you going to stay in Nancheng? Su Wanwan was surprised, Didnt your family immigrate to Los Angeles? Ye Qitian shook his head, For you, Ive decided to stay in Nancheng. I signed a contract with a talent agency at noon, and Im about to start shooting a blockbuster web movie! Youre getting into the entertainment industry? Su Wanwan was taken aback again. Little sister, I know youre worried that Im too naive and might be corrupted by the entertainment industry. True, I went to audition this morning and a loaded woman has already added me on WeChat, even saying she wants to support me. Su Wanwans mouth twitched. Which blind rich woman was this? Was she so desperate? Could she not see he was not her type? But how could a wolf like me with the charm of a male dog be willing to serve such an old, fat woman for just a few million? Ye Qitian continued to look at Su Wanwan with affection, But if you need it, little sister, I can demand nothing and give you my Ahem, ahem. Su Wanwan quickly stood up, I have to go for my lesson. Ill apany you. The driving school is closed off. You cant get in. Then Ill wait for you. After knowing him for two years, Su Wanwan knew he was stubborn and independent, so she simply ignored him, Suit yourself. Hell probably get bored in five minutes. Sure enough, by the time Su Wanwan finished her lesson, she found a message sent by Ye Qitian more than an hour ago. Little sister, this is my number in Nancheng. I had to leave because something urgent came up. Ille to see you for a date tomorrow. Mwah! Su Wanwan saved the number and took the shuttle bus home. She was so tired on the way home that she almost fell asleep. When she finally arrived in the city center, Su Wanwan had to get off and transfer to a bus. It was probably a bitte, so Huo Jingshen sent a message, Baby, are you home yet? Su Wanwan replied, I still have five more bus stops to go. Why dont you take a taxi? No money. Huo Jingshen: A secondter, he sent a red envelope through WeChat. Su Wanwans heart leaped with joy, but when she opened it Oh my gosh! 131.4 (yuan)? For crying out loud, a CEO of a listedpany sends such a small red envelope to his wife? What a miser! She angrily sent a disobedient son emoji back to him. Still not feeling any better, she sent another 1 want to kill you. Just as she was about to send a Ill kill you, you turtle son, Huo Jingshen replied with a default WeChat smiling emoji. Looking at that emoji, Su Wanwan seemed to see a man looking at her with a sinister grin She lost her courage, quickly deleted thest emoji, and reced it with a kneeling in gratitude. That should do it, right? * * GD Clubhouse. In the private room, Huo Jingshen let out a low chuckle, looking at the emojis that came through his phone. Chu Xiuhuang sat opposite him, hopeless in protesting, Older brother, can you notugh in such a lewd way? Huo Jingshen flicked an eyelid up, a nce that shot directly at him. Yeah, big brother, how long has it been since youst drank with us? The previous gathering, you didnt evenst a few minutes and left with our little sister-inw, this time youre upied with WeChat? Nangong Ci also began toin. Hes checking the WeChat messages sent by sister-inw. Lu Chenyu added word by word. Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, I told you, you cant marry a young wife; shes high maintenance, gives you nonstop worries. Shell start a dyeing workshop just by giving her some colors, shes pretentious and you constantly have to coax her, this is simply asking for trouble! I dont mind if you find a sixty-year-old younger sister. Huo Jingshen said coldly. He choked! Nangong Ci couldnt help but grin. Have you eaten gunpowder? Chu Xiuhuangs face turned dark, Did the young girl not let you in the house, causing you to vent your frustrations on us? Huo Jingshen said nothing, picked up the red wine in front of him and downed it. Damn, did I hit the nail on the head? Chu Xiuhuang instantly perked up his eyebrows raised high, and his phoenix eyes sparkled with excitement. So today he came to drink with us. Lu Chenyu supplemented. Although fourth brother doesnt speak much, he certainly deserves being a topwyer, each word hitting the bulls eye. As Nangong Ci spoke, he patted Lu Chenyu on the shoulder, but who knew Dont touch me. Nangong Ci quickly retracted his hand, Damn, you behave as if I want to touch you. Lu Chenyu said nothing. Looking at his high cool temperament, resembling a high monk in meditation, Nangong Ci couldnt help but lean over again, Whats the saying? Nine of the tenwyers are gay, and thest one is deeply closeted. Fourth brother, Ive never seen any woman around you, but instead you follow second brothers ass all day, could it be you have some thoughts for second brother? Scram! Chu Xiuhuang spat,ughing instead of being angry. Lu Chenyu seriously responded, Second brother is too flirtatious, Im afraid of getting infected. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang was truly angry now, Fourth brother, you deliberately cursing me?????????????????????????????????????????????? y Lu Chenyu looked at him, Careful drivers drive forever. Hahahaha Nangong Ci had already copsed inughter on the sofa. During the conversational teasing, Huo Jingshen had already finished a whole bottle of red wine by himself. So, when Su Wanwan finished her shower and was about to go to bed at around 10 oclock, she suddenly got a call from an unknown number. Sister-inw, its me. Nangong Ci called with ease, Big brother is drunk, asking you to pick him up and take him home. Su Wanwan: Sister-inw? Sister-inw? Little sister-inw? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, finally responding, You could just send him home couldnt you???????????????????????????????? Ive also been drinking. Then you should find a designated driver. Designated drivers arent safe these days, furthermore, big brother doesnt look bad, we boys must be cautious about protecting ourselves. Su Wanwan shivered all over, only able to say, I dont have a drivers license and cant afford a taxi. You dont have money? Nangong Cis volume soared, then seemed to mumble to himself, Big brother is really outrageous, how can he not give you pocket money? No wonder little sister-inw doesnt let him in the house, so thats why hes here drowning his sorrows in alcohol. What gibberish are you saying? Su Wanwan couldnt hear thest part of his sentence very clearly. Nothing, hehe. Nangong Ciughed and changed the topic, Lets do this Ill have my driver pick you up, see you, little sister-inw. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan suddenly realized something. Damn, why not just let the driver take Huo Jingshen home directly? They have to pick her up and then go to get Huo Jingshen? This is superfluous! * * By the time Nangongs familys driver came over and took Su Wanwan to the GD Clubhouse, it was already past eleven oclock at night. However, there were peopleing and going in the clubhouse, with extravagant lights and drunken dreams. For many city dwellers, the nightlife was just beginning. Back to the private room called Fire Emperor. Now Su Wanwan finally understood that Fire and Emperorbined together meaning shining. This was Chu Xiuhuangs exclusive private room, only for entertaining his own friends. As Su Wanwan pushed the door open, she smelled a strong smoke and alcohol. The room was filled with smoke, the light was dim, looking like a fairnd with burning incense. Youre finally here, little sister-inw. Nangong Ci weed her. Su Wanwan walked in holding her nose, disgusted by the smell. When she got closer, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting on the sofa, eyes closed, head resting back, and she wasnt sure if he was genuinely drunk or just resting. Beside him, Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang were both smoking, particrly Chu Xiuhuang, squinting his phoenix eyes, corners of his mouth slightly raised, he looked viinous from any angle. Su Wanwan approached and nudged the man, Hey! Wake up! Huo Jingshen opened his eyes. His dark eyes stared at her, their depth entuated by his double eyelids. Then, he reached out a hand to grab hers and spoke in a low voice, Baby youre here. Pfft! Nangong Ci burst intoughter behind her. Su Wanwans cheeks instantly turned red. Forget about Nangong Ci, even as a woman, she found the word baby quite cringe-worthy! Sounding quite annoyed, she confronted him, Are you annoying or not? I still have to get up early tomorrow, its past eleven oclock, get up and go home with me! Huo Jingshen, surprisingly, didnt lose his temper. Leaning on her hand, he stood up from the sofa. However, very quickly, he wrapped his arms around her, his hundred-plus-pound weight almost fully relying on her shoulder, Baby, why are you here sote? Su Wanwan was exasperated, she furrowed her brows, attempting to walk him out the door, but then Im asking you a question, arent you going to answer? If you dont, your husband will have to punish you by copying homework. Listening to the suppressedughter of the three behind her, Su Wanwan was both ashamed and furious, Are you pretending to be drunk? Baby, dont use uncivilizednguage, no foul words. Su Wanwans face uncontrobly turned red again, she could only softly caution him, Well, then you mustnt speak either! Shut up, do you hear me? Okay, I wont talk. Huo Jingshen agreed.. Chapter 114 - 114:114, Drunken Boss Huo Chapter 114:114, Drunken Boss Huo Trantor: 549690339 And the three people standing by were watching everything with a carefree expression Su Wanwan: Forget it. Ill y the ostrich for now. If you dont behave, hubby will punish you like this. Damn it! Su Wanwan felt like punching someone. He was already a bad person, but now he had shown his true colors after getting drunk. Are you going home or not! She almost screamed. Baby, help me. Huo Jingshen spoke arrogantly, ordering around like a lord. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth. She thought shed save him some face in public, and would deal with him when they got home. She reluctantly helped him to his feet and walked out of the box. Nangong Ci quickly followed and handed Huo Jingshens cell phone and car keys to her, saying, Sister-inw, heres big brothers cell phone and car keys. Su Wanwan took the things and carelessly stuffed them in her pocket. However, suddenly a waitress walked by and her tray crashed into Wanwan. Ah!!! A scream echoed with the shattering of ssware. Sister-inw, are you okay? Nangong Ci rushed over. Behind him, Chu Xiuhuang came forth after hearing themotion. Seeing that the woman had bumped into the important guests of the private box, a nearby male supervisor started to chastise the waitress, What the hell were you doing? Are you blind? Apologize to the guests right now! Im sorry, Im sorry. I wasnt paying attention, its all my fault, Im sorry the waitress kept apologizing profusely with her head down. Su Wanwan checked quickly. The waitress had been carrying sses from the neighboring box. There wasnt much liquid left, but now her t-shirt was damp, and Huo Jingshens white shirt was stained with red wine. But he was drunk and didnt react. Fearing that he might continue causing a scene, Su Wanwan didnt want to make a fuss. Its okay, its okay, we have to leave. After she finished speaking, she quickly dragged Huo Jingshen away. Nangong Ci also left, Sister-inw, let me help you. * * In the dimly lit hallway, Chu Xiuhuang seemed even more devilish in his embroidered ck shirt. Do you know who you just bumped into? The supervisor trembled, Boss, shes only been here for a few days That means you didnt train her properly. Chu Xiuhuang turned away, Get your pay and donte in tomorrow. The waitress stood there, her body shrinking in fear, not daring to move. After Chu Xiuhuang disappeared into the distance, the supervisor pped the waitress, You fucking bitch, you made me lose my job, Im going to fucking kill you today! The club was used to such things. The waitress was pped repeatedly, all she could do was cry and not talk back. It was only when other guests came by, the supervisor was pulled away by other waiters. Before he left, he swore and threatened her. Xiaowei, are you okay? Another waitress finally came over and moved her hair aside. Bai Ruweis face was full of tears, one side of her cheek was horribly swollen, and her mouth was broken with continuous blood flowing out. Oh my god, youre badly hurt! Your hand has also been cut! Why didnt you exin earlier? The waitress was scared and asked, Should I take you to the hospital? No need. Bai Ruwei shook her head, tears fell uncontrobly. Previously, she was mistreated as a maid in the Su family. She was maliciously framed by Su Yanyan for swapping dresses and hiding needles in them. She lost her job, and now she had no tuition fees. Now she had finally found work at this club, only to lose her job again after just a few days, all because she had bumped into Su Wanwan and her husband. What was she going to do about her tuition and living expenses? Why? Why do the rich always bully the poor? Why is this world so unfair? * * * On the other hand, with the help of Nangong Ci, Huo Jingshen was easily assisted into the car. When they arrived at the Imperial Court, Nangong Ci and the driver together sent him to his room. Sister-inw, well leave big brother to you, were leaving now. Su Wanwan sighed in relief. Once they left, she went back to the bedroom, looking at the drunkard who was snoringfortably on the bed, she was itching with anger. Baby. The drunkard suddenly spoke. Su Wanwan ignored him, went to find her sleepwear, and decided to sleep in the guest room that night. Baby. Huo Jingshen called again, Help me take a bath. Screw you! Su Wanwan couldnt help but swear aloud. She was already exhausted dragging him out of the club earlier, where would she find the strength to drag him to the bathroom? Doesnt he know hes as heavy as a pig? Just as she wasining, her cell phone suddenly rang. Baby, help me answer the phone. The pig started demanding again. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, but the phone kept ringing, so she had no choice but to go over and pick up. It showed a number from the United Kingdom. Thinking it might be work-rted, Su Wanwan quickly answered it. Brother Jingshen. An affected female voice came through from far away, Im on the same flight as Ziyang tomorrow. Ill send you the flight number after I board.. Chapter 115 - 115:115, old flame? Chapter 115:115, old me? Trantor: 549690339 Brother Jingshen. A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone, Tomorrow, Ziyang and I are on the same flight. Ill send you the flight number once weve boarded. Su Wanwan asked, Who are you? There was silence on the line. Hello? Why arent you speaking? Instead of a reply, the call was abruptly hung up. Su Wanwan put down her phone, her eyes darting towards the drunken man. She couldnt help but start to suspect. Calling him Brother Jingshen? Such intimacy, could it be this old mans old me? Oh dear, is the old me nning to visit him? As if he could read her mind, the man suddenly started acting bossy again, Baby, help me take a shower. A shower? So he wants a shower, doesnt he? Su Wanwan suddenlyughed mischievously. She walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap. A whileter, she came out with a basin full of cold water and without a word, she sshed it on the man. Huo Jingshen was meditating silently when, unexpectedly, he was drenched. Just as Su Wanwan was feeling aplished, she suddenly noticed that the previously drunk man was now up with open eyes. Moreover, he had sat up. His entire body along with the bed sheet was drenched. His shirt was soaked and even his pants were wet. Despite not saying anything, his face was darkened. His thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line and his jawline tightened, making his face look cold and serious. Especially those eyes. They were dark, deep, with a storm raging inside, clearly a prelude to his anger Oh dear, hes resurrected! Su Wanwan was visibly shuddering. The next second, she threw the basin aside, turned around and was about to run. However, before she could even touch the doorknob, tworge hands seized her and she was lifted off the ground. Ah.ah Su Wanwan instinctively screamed in fear. Huo Jingshen kicked the door shut, turned around and tossed her onto the sofa. He stood there with his eyes narrowed. Water dripped down his dark hair, slid past his distinctive features and finally dripped from his chin. His look Gave off a vague sense of danger. Quite bold now. The mans voice was low and oppressive, Not only did you neglect me when I was drunk, but you also doused me with cold water, huh? Su Wanwan was indeed furious, You you were pretending to be drunk! Damn, had she known that he was not drunk, not in a hundred years would she dare to douse him with cold water. She was acting out of anger just now. I was a bit drunk initially. Huo Jingshen replied, his face instantly darkened, Speak, how do you think I should punish you? As he said this, he took off his tie and wrapped it around her wrists. The sight Su Wanwan was wide-eyed. Sheenow backed down, unable to help but shout, What do you want? As expected, Huo Jingshen moved forward to hold her hand, with the tie circling her wrist. Su Wanwan tried to reason with him, Didnt we agree to wait until the day after tomorrow, cant we wait until then? School starts the day after tomorrow and she can stay in the dormitory then. Who knew Ive changed my mind. Before she knew it, Huo Jingshen had already easily subdued her. I initially thought we had plenty of time to develop feelings for each other, but now I believe that familiarity breeds fondness suits you better. Huo Jingshen subtly teased. The reason he let her go that morning was first, because it was a bit rushed and he didnt want to dy her ss. Having waited for a month, he didnt mind waiting for another two days. Secondly, he considered the trauma she must have gone through during their first time. He wanted to wait till she was done with sses and let her willingly ept him. Little did he know that this little girl would be so bold! Just like what Chu Xiuhuang said, give her an inch, and shell take a mile. He even began to question if he had been too indulgent with her? Chapter 116 - 116:116, willing to admit defeat Chapter 116:116, willing to admit defeat Trantor: 549690339 | Su Wanwan: One seemed to be surrendering and the other was condescending. In any case, she was the weaker party. She had no choice but to y herst card and act pitifully. But, I have ss tomorrow. Su Wanwan lowered her stance, hoping he would find his conscience. I was wrong, I just wanted to wake you up. But youre so heavy, how can I help you bathe? Right? Is that so? Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle. Then lets let the darling choose herself. Choose what? Su Wanwan quickly asked. Two options. With a teasing smile curling at the corners of his lips, Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. Your sister! I wont choose! Huo Jingshenughed So, you arent choosing? With her eyes tightly shut, Su Wanwan practically snarled between clenched teeth. If you wanna hit, just hit! If you wanna curse, just curse! Do whatever you want! Being hurt and insulted at this age is really humiliating. Alright. Huo Jingshen agreed. * * * The next morning. Darling? Darling, wake up. Dont you have a ss at 10 oclock? Su Wanwan finally opened her eyes. She immediately saw a man in front of her, dressed in a white shirt and ck trousers, with clear brows and bright eyes. Even his thin lips disyed a slight smile. He looked refreshingly handsome. She couldnt help but kick at him. But instead of kicking him, she ended up wincing in pain, taking a while to recover. Su Wanwans eyes filled with tears. She was simply speechless with outrage. She red at the culprit, only to hear Darling, from now on well go for a run together every day. You can go to hell! Su Wanwan picked up a pillow and threw it at him. You jerk! Huo Jingshen effortlessly caught the pillow. He had already set up new bedding, sheets, andforter. At this point, the dark-colored bedroom set contrasted sharply with her sitting in the middle. Her beautiful phoenix eyes held a mix of anger and sorrow, which were clear and pure as if they had no impurities. In a gentle voice, Huo Jingshen said, You still have to go to ss today. Why arent you getting up yet? Frustration smoke seemed to be billowing out of Su Wanwan s head. Did he know how he treated her? Let me get your clothes for you. Huo Jingshen grabbed a dress from the wardrobe. Wear this. Su Wanwan looked at it. It was a light-yellow dress she had bought with Mo Weiyi. Although it is pretty, it happens to be floor-length andes with a half-sleeved high-neck design. She was nning to go to driving school today, thus she felt it wasnt very convenient? Cover yourself. After Huo Jingshen said that, Su Wanwan quickly lowered her head. She threw the dress away angrily, turned around and went back to bed. I dont want to go to ss! It was too frustrating! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. You really dont want to go? No! Very well. The next moment. Ah! Fine, Ill go. Will that make you happy? Su Wanwan managed a brisk turnaround, draped the dress over her head. Good girl.Huoved contentably rose to his feet, Go downstairs for breakfast after you freshen up. * * Ten minutester, Su Wanwan was ready to go, carrying her small bag downstairs. She could smell the appetizing aroma from afar. A hearty breakfast was alreadyid out on the table-glittering millet porridge, beautiful fried eggs, honey-coated sausages and crispy, golden brown fried dumplings. As she ate, Su Wanwan cursed herself. After being bullied by him like that, how is she tolerating his delicious breakfast? Eat slowly, nobodys fighting you for it. Watch out for your manners. Maybe its because she was eating in such a crude manner that a certain gentleman couldnt help but give her some advice. Su Wanwan was furious. She deliberately picked up a sausage and bit it off with a wide Ow. She continued to chew in front of him, determined to annoy him. Huo Jingshen coughed lightly, You can have the other sausage as well. He had grilled two sausages in total. Su Wanwan didnt suspect him. Seeing that he didnt eat, she decisively grabbed the other sausage from the te and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, she began to grumble, I have no money to spend. Huo Jingshen looked at her, coughed up lightly, and inquired in a deep voice, How much? Su Wanwan didnt expect him to agree so casually and immediately said, You decide. It would be best to give her a subsidiary credit card, just like Xiao Yebai gave to Mo Weiyi, which would allow her to swipe her card in the future and live a freewheeling life of a rich and morous white woman. Who knew? Huo Jingshen took out his phone without hesitation, typed a fewmands with his long fingers. Done. Su Wanwan quickly took out her small smartphone. Indeed, he had sent a fund transfer message, she tapped to check the amount. Damn, why is it only 2000 yuan! Su Wanwan couldnt help but shriek. What happened to the promise of giving a card for free-spending life as a rich and powerful woman? He was supposed to give her a card, and she thought he would give her tens of thousands, but it was only 2000? Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, So darling, how much do you want? Isnt 1000 sufficient for one time? Am I only worth 1000? Su Wanwan gathered his implication and felt insulted. Why dont you go find a prostitute? Huo Jingshen patted her small head in a teaching manner. Your hubby is a clean freak, doesnt like wild girls from the outside. Su Wanwan: Fighting with a man who has no shame she was clearly outmatched! * * By 5:30 in the afternoon, the driving school sses ended. The instructor smiled and said,Best of luck on your test, hope you get your drivers license smoothly. Thank you, instructor. Having wrapped up at the driving school, Su Wanwan picked up her bag and walked towards the parking lot with heavy steps. She was utterly exhausted. She had been practicing all day at driving school, her legs were so numb that they were almost losing all sensation.. Chapter 117 - 117:117,1 am a married woman. Chapter 117:117,1 am a married woman. Trantor: 549690339 With a sudden thud, her shoulder was forcefully pped from behind. Su Wanwan was both in pain and shocked, her body jolted violently. Junior Sister! Hearing this annoying voice, she closed her eyes, then instantly lost her temper, raising her leg and kicking hard, Ye Qitian, are you courting death?! Why are you so fierce? Ye Qitian held his kicked shin, bncing on one leg, and grimacing in pain. The junior sister is fine in all respects. Shes pretty, has a good figure, and can y along with him, but sometimes shes just too fierce. She is a veritable demoness! Once he marries her home, he must properly discipline her. Su Wanwan red at him fiercely, then turned and left. Hey, Junior sister, dont leave! Ye Qitian, enduring the pain, chased after her, grabbing her hand, Go on a date with me! Date your sister! Su Wanwan shook him off, pointing at him with her index finger and sternly warning, Let me tell you, Im married. Im a married woman now. Can you stay away from me? Stop bothering me, please! So what if you are? You and that old man have no feelings for each other anyway. You are bound to divorce sooner orter. Why not cultivate some feelings with me first, to prevent me from falling for other pretty-faced seductresses. Otherwise, youll have nowhere to cryter! Su Wanwans mouth twitched uncontrobly, unable to stop. Why are the people around her always so full of themselves? Ye Qitian went ahead and grabbed her hand again. Come on, Ill take you to a ce. I heard its a lot of fun. Its called the mansion? We cant go to the mansion! Su Wanwan shouted subconsciously. Alright, then we wont go to the mansion. Ill take you to another fun ce instead. After speaking, Ye Qitian dragged her towards the main gate. * * Su Wanwans heart throbbed with unease. Because Huo Jingshen had to know her whereabouts every day, if she returns toote, he would probably find various ways to torment her. Indeed, once she got in the car, his call came through immediately. Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, Hello. I have to go to the airport to pick someone up tonight, Ill be backter. Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan was thrilled, Sounds good, when do you think you will be back? Huo Jingshen chuckled, his tone suggestive, So eager for your husband toe back and keep youpany? Eh Eager my foot! Keeppany, my foot! I hope you take a business trip to Antarctica and nevere back! Probably around 10 oclock, Huo Jingshen said. Su Wanwan grunted twice in response. 10 oclock, right? That meant she could y till around 9, awesome! Whats that noise over there? Huo Jingshen suddenly asked. Huh? Su Wanwan froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, Im in a taxi. The driver is ying music. There was silence on the other end of the phone, then Huo Jingshens voice echoed faintly, Stop listening to these musically void songs. On the side, Ye Qitian was humming, I want to give you ny-nine roses, I want to sing the words in my heart for you to hear, I want No musicality? She thought this popr TikTok song was quite good. Indeed, there was a generation gap! After hanging up the phone, Ye Qjtian immediately pinched his throat and started imitating a woman, Hello, darling, no, Im not panting. Im just out for a jog No Mmm Hiss! His arm was pinched fiercely by Su Wanwan. Ouch, ouch, ouch My bad, let go, its really painful, Junior sister, let go Su Wanwan red at him once before finally releasing her grip, Just drive! Ye Qitian pouted, but could only grumble quietly, Youre only so bossy because you know I like you. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered with him. Where did you get this car? The car Ye Qitian drove was a shy yellow Porsche. Su Wanwan remembed that it was identical to the sports car Huo Zhexi drovest time, except his was white. The cars performance was excellent, giving a very pleasurable driving experience. It must have cost at least seven to eight million RMB, right? Borrowed. Oh. Su Wanwan didnt give it much thought. Ye Qitian, who was two years older than her, was a rich second generation in Los Angeles. Undoubtedly, he must have affluent rtives and friends in Nancheng too. An hourter, the Porsche was parked in front of a bar. The name of the bar was intriguing: Mesmerizing Night. They invited Vivian, the TikTok goddess, tonight! Ye Qitian said, his stunning starry eyes gleaming with excitement. Su Wanwan disparaged, Whats so great about her? She had seen this so-called goddess on TikTok. She was not bad, but just had a more impressive chest. Ye Qjtian coughed a couple of times, I didnt want toe either, but shes a senior in my managementpany. Shell probably pull me up on stage once she knows Im here. Immediately after, he added, Dont worry though, little junior sister, even though shes a 36D, I still love your little Bs the most. Who told you I only have Bs? Su Wanwan reflexively protested. As Ye Qjtians crafty gaze started to drift down her body, Su Wanwan quickly reached out and blocked his view. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ye Qjtiansugh was wicked, Even if you were an A, Id still choose you. None of those shy floozies outside canpare to your beauty or your sense of fun Are we going in or not? Su Wanwan threatened to walk away. Lets go, lets go. Ye Qitian hurriedly pulled her towards the bar. It was 7 p.m, and the bar was already bustling. Throbbing electronic music was sting out in rich Dolby sound, everybody was bobbing their heads and iling their bodies to the rhythm. The booth they seated at had a good view of the center of the stage. Soon, the waiter brought over a pile of food and drink. Su Wanwans eyes lit up. She could finally drink! Heres to you, little junior sister, Ye Qitian clinked his beer bottle with hers. With a clink, they both downed their drinks. They continued to drink and chat. In a corner, a young woman was incessantly taking photos of them with her phone. * * In the Xing familys vi. In the upstairs bedroom, Su Yanyan was preparing the materials shed need for college the next day when she suddenly got a call from her friend, Jian Xiaoman. Yanyan, guess who I just saw? Who? Su Yanyan didnt seem very interested. Ever since she married Xing Yuyun, shed been grounded by Xings grandmother. They imed it was because she was pregnant and it was unsafe for her to go out. Really, it was because her wardrobe malfunction at their wedding had made the newspapers and embarrassed the Xing family! The grandparents even suggested that she drops out of school, iming that it was inconvenient for her to attend school while pregnant But would Su Yanyan agree to that? Shed worked so hard to get epted into Nancheng University and wasnt ready to be a stay-at-home wife this soon. Besides, with Xing Yuyun residing in the hospital due to an injury, if she quit school now, did they expect her to live like a widow at home? I saw Su Wanwan! This brought Su Yanyan back to attention. Where? At the Mesmerizing Night bar. Vivian, the TikTok goddess, brought herpanys junior here to show him around tonight. Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan was there too. She seemed very familiar with that junior. Hold on, Ill send you some photos. Sure. After a while, Jian Xiaoman sent a bunch of photos and a video. The video wasnt much. They were just constantly drinking and chatting, which looked quite normal. But those photos were really good. From a certain angle, the two looked like a couple whispering sweet nothings into each others ears, getting too close and intimate a bit excessive. Jian Xiaoman hurriedly called again, This guy is a neer signed by Vivianspany. He is said to be an overseas Chinese from America, and thepany intends to promote him heavily. Who would have thought hed be having an affair with Su Wanwan at the bar.. Tsk tsk, what would the Huo family think if this scandales out and causes a ruckus? Chapter 118 - 118:118,1 hate it, you devil! Chapter 118:118,1 hate it, you devil! Trantor: 549690339 Su Yanyan intentionally said, They are probably just good friends, after all, she is my sister. You should delete all the photos. Come on, Yanyan, you are too innocent and kind. She purposely embarrassed you at the weddingst time, and you are still speaking up for her? Truly, no good deed goes unpunished! Dont worry, Ive got this. What are you nning to do? Youll find out. In the bar, Jiang Xiaoman put down her phone, her eyes filled with smugughter. On the day of the wedding, just because she said a few bad words about Xiao Yebai, she was almost killed by this Su Wanwan! Because of her rtionship with the Mo family, she didnt dare tell her family the truth. She rested and nursed her wounds for a few days before she dared to meet her friends today. Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan walked right into her trap. If she couldnt mess with Mo Weiyi, couldnt she mess with Su Wanwan? ** International airport. Huo Jingshen was standing at the exit, waiting. He was tall, his face cold and stern, particrly dressed in the attire of a business elite. Even surrounded by many foreigners, he still stood out in the crowd. Uncle Huo. A tender childish voice resounded. Huo Jingshen looked up, and when he saw the woman following Fu Ziyang, he was caught off guard, and his right eyelid twitched violently. Brother Jingshen. Upon reaching him, Fu Qi looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her gaze soft, her face shy, and her voice had an indescribable hint of intimate tenderness. Because she had been busy with tour rehearsals and Huo Jingshen had suddenly gone back to the country to take over the family business, she hadnt seen him in nearly half a year. It seemed that Brother Jingshen had be even more handsome Compared to her budding feelings, Huo Jingshen appeared indifferent, his voice also casual, Why are you here? Fu Qi hurriedly exined, My brother was worried, so I brought Ziyang over. I sent you a message earlier. Huo Jingshen: She did send a message, but only mentioned the flight number. Fearing that he would be angry, Fu Qi quickly said, Brother Jingshen, once Ziyang is settled in school, I will return. Huo Jingshen gave her a nce, then said, Lets go. Ji Jie had been secretly observing for a while from behind, and quickly came up and said, Let me take care of the luggage. Thank you, Fu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Huo Jingshen had never lost his temper with her, she always felt a tremendous pressure when facing him. Especially when she was being looked at by those ck eyes, she felt as though she couldnt hide anything, as if all her thoughts were seen through by him. Rumor has it that the two founders of Yunda are one warm and one cold C Huo Jingshen is refined and elegant, while Fu Xihan is cold and ruthless. But in her view, although her elder brother was somewhat extreme in his methods, he was very humane. He treated his subordinates especially well and would do anything for her, his sister. On the other hand, Huo Jingshen was indifferent to everyone. She remembered that when Mr. and Mrs. Huo passed away one after another, he had hardly shown any grief. Even with Jinghua, after everything that happened, he could now let go Ji Jie was also lost in thought. He pushed the luggage at the back, looking ahead at the family of three. No matter how he looked, something seemed off. Mr. Huo only mentioned picking someone up at the airport, without specifying who. And the kid looked too much like Mr. Huo, right? It couldnt really be a mistress and an illegitimate child, could it? Tsk tsk tsk, rich people sure know how to y. He has such a beautiful wife at home, and yet keeps an outside woman, and even brought back the mistress and illegitimate child. Is he nning to divorce the wife? Sigh, poor Mrs. Huo is kept in the dark and doesnt know anything yet Suddenly, a sh of light shed before his eyes. Ji Jie, take care of it, Huo Jingshens voice sounded. Ji Jie quickly recovered, and noticing a reporter sneaking a camera out in front of him, he promptly rushed over and grabbed the persons arm, Give me the camera! What are you talking about? Let go of me. It was a girls voice, wearing a baseball cap, her eyes under the brim of the hat looking restlessly around, clearly up to no good. Ji Jie was impatient, You took a picture of our Mr. Huo, do you need me to spell it out for you? Youre mistaken, I dont know any Mr. Huo. Im just taking photos of the scenery, and Im not a reporter. The girl said, taking out her student ID. She was indeed a senior in the journalism department of South University, currently interning at a gossip magazine. She received news tonight that a married male celebrity was having an affair with a popr young actress in Japan. She had been waiting for half a day to catch them, but instead, she had spotted Huo Jingshen. As a gossip reporter, she naturally knew who the Huo Family heir was. He kept a low profile and his private life was even more mysterious. He never epted any interviews. She only knew that his marriage news was announced not long ago. Unexpectedly, just one monthter, there are rumors of an extramarital rtionship, and even illegitimate children. If she could break this news As she was thinking, her camera in her embrace was suddenly snatched away. Ji Jie didnt hesitate and immediately wiped all the photos. The girl was agitated, Why did you delete my photos? I needed them for my graduation exhibition, thats over the line! Hey! You should be thankful that I didnt smash your camera. Ji Jie said and quickly left after dropping the camera. Here, Fu Qi eagerly asked, What happened? Nothing, everything is already sorted out. Dont worry, Mr. Huo. Ji Jie reported with a smile. ** The Imperial Court. Su Wanwan specifically returned to the vi before ten oclock. When she got out after taking a bath, she heard a womans and a childs voice from the corridor. Recalling the mysterious phone call fromst night, her senses were alert, she quickly rushed downstairs. Then, she saw the woman sitting on the living room sofa. Very young, in her early twenties. Same long ck straight hair as Su Yanyan, just without the bangs. She was wearing a white chiffon dress, her oval face was very white, her features were also very beautiful, beautifully applying light makeup. Especially her eyes, ck and shining, undoubtedly, she was a pretty and elegant girl. Fu Qi also saw the descending Su Wanwan. Her first impression was, why is she so young? She thought the woman whom Huo Jingshen married would look like Dong Manjiao or at least should be elegant and mature. Unexpectedly, it was a teenager! Had this girl even turned 18? No wonder, Su Wanwan had just taken a shower, so her long hair tied atop her head along with her pink bear-patterned pajamas and even her slippers were pink. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were open, she looked quite immature. Hello, Auntie. Fu Ziyang greeted politely. Su Wanwan took back her gaze, coughed twice, and slowly walked up, Ziyang, is this your aunt? Fu Qi frowned. Aunt? Was she that old? Fu Ziyang lifted his little head and adorably answered, Shes my little aunt. Little aunt. Su Wanwan nodded her head, and with a smile looked at Fu Qi, Hello, my name is Su Wanwan, you can call me Are you Brother Jingshens wife? Fu Qi directly interrupted her. Understanding shed in Su Wanwans eyes, so this was the woman who calledst night, my husbands old me? But she seems pretty young, her thoughts are easy to read. Yes. She responded cheerfully, Are you close with my husband? Fu Qis forehead creased, her face twisting into a knot of confusion, How old are you? Su Wanwan retaliated, How old are you? Im twenty-two. Having finished, Fu Qi immediately asked her, What about you? Im twenty. More expressions disyed on Fu Qis face. Twenty? Shes two years younger than me? She instantly asked, How long have you known Brother Jingshen? Why would he marry you? Did you use some Fu Qi. A cold male voice suddenly sounded. Fu Qi immediately shut her mouth. Husband. Su Wanwan walked over, wrapped her arms around the mans arm, her tone was soft and affectionate, Didnt you promise to be home by ten? Howe youre sote? Huo Jingshen looked at her,pletely rxed. Normally, it would take half a life to coax her to call him husband, now she was dering her territory by her own initiative? Seems like, Fu Qiing over wasnt entirely ineffective. Hey, Im talking to you! Su Wanwan pinched his arm hard. Huo Jingshen: Fu Qi stood there, her face was very unwell. Since getting to know Huo Jingshen, all these years, this was the first time seeing a woman tantly sticking to him, and Huo Jingshen didnt even push her away? Chapter 119 - 119:119, showing off love, instantly defeating all the other girls Chapter 119:119, showing off love, instantly defeating all the other girls Trantor: 549690339 Traffic was backed up, Huo Jingshens voice sounded faintly, Darling, youve already showered? Yeah, were you expecting me to wait for you so we could shower together? Su Wanwan deliberately spoke ambiguously. Huo Jingshen coughed lightly, then leaned down and murmured something into her ear. Su Wanwan instantly blushed and eximed, Stop it, you devil! Fu Qis expression immediately soured. Fu Ziyang sat there, his little face serious. It seemed like in less than a month of absence, Uncle Huo and Aunt Wanwans affections for each other had improved even more? Su Wanwan suddenly covered her mouth, Oh, Im so sorry. Im so used to hounding him in private that I forgot we have guests over now. Huo Jingshen quickly raised an eyebrow slightly. As for Fu Qi, who was referred to as the outsider, she gritted her teeth, her hands twisted into knots. By the way, Miss Fu, will you stay over tonight? Su Wanwan asked, channeling an amicable hostess vibe. Fu Qi instantly looked towards Huo Jingshen, Brother Jingshen, will it inconvenience you if I stay here? Of course not, guests are always wee! Su Wanwan naturally took over the conversation. Fu Qi was speechless. Then let your sister-inw make the arrangements, Huo Jingshen added smoothly. Fu Qi was again lost for words. Su Wanwan already strolled over with enthusiasm, Its gettingte, you must be tired after that long flight, Ziyang. Ill help you with your luggage. Thank you, Aunt Wanwan. Youre wee. Su Wanwan carried Fu Ziyangs small suitcase and led the little guy upstairs. Fu Qi pouted her lips, about to ask Huo Jingshen for help with her suitcase, but saw him head out to the balcony with a cigarette and lighter. Having no other choice, she had to pick up her big suitcase and quickly follow them. Upstairs, Fu Ziyangs old childs room had been preserved, Su Wanwan had never been inside. Upon opening the door today, she found everything was refreshed and new. A warm sky-blue childs desk had been added, the floor was filled with star-patterned soft padding and the cab was stocked with a collection of educational childrens books. Even the bed sheets and quilt cover were changed to childrens cartoon patterns. The bed was filled with an array of cute dolls and pillows. The preparations were probably done by Aunt Liu, no doubt. Su Wanwan put the suitcase down, and smilingly asked, Ziyang, do you like your new room? Fu Ziyang looked around, his face unsmiling and his voice apathetic, Thank you, Aunt Wanwan. Uh Why does a five-year-old already remind her of a thirty-year-old Huo Jingshen? Which room will I be sleeping in? Fu Qis voice sounded from behind. Su Wanwan acted as if she didnt hear, turning to help the little guy open the wardrobe. Hello? Did you not hear me? Hey! Having her arm forcefully pulled, Su Wanwan finally turned around in surprise, Whats up, Miss Fu? Fu Qi was so angry that her face was flushed, Are you doing this on purpose? What do you mean? Su Wanwan wore an innocent expression. Ive been calling you for ages! You were ignoring me on purpose! Fu Qi stomped her foot. Su Wanwan almost burst outughing. This Miss Fu was kind of cute; hiding nothing, she wore her heart on her sleeve, with everything clear in an instant. Such a woman had no real scheming nature, and even if she did, herbat power was negligible. The truly terrifying ones were the likes of Su Yanyan, appearing innocent and adorable on the outside, but harboring malicious intentions, fond of stabbing people in the back. What were you calling me for? Su Wanwan asked her. Fu Qi was getting really frustrated. If it wasnt for Brother Jingshen telling her to let Su Wanwan make arrangements, she wouldnt be bothering about her! With no other choice, sheposed herself and asked once again, I asked you, which room am I going to stay in! Su Wanwan looked at her in surprise, Oh, was it you calling me? Who do you think I was calling? Fu Qi frowned. Su Wanwan said, Then you should call me sister-inw. Otherwise, I would have thought you were calling Ziyang. You Fu Qi looked conflicted, and after a long pause, she grumbled, Youre not my sister-inw! Well, you can also call me Mrs. Huo! Fu Qi was immediately torn again. Call her Mrs. Huo? No way! Su Wanwans voice rose again, Miss Fu, you seem quite unwilling, huh? Its strange, youre a guest in my house now, Im the host, youre the guest. Youre not a kid anymore, dont you know basic manners when youre visiting others homes? My husband said I could arrange everything. If you keep showing me this attitude, you might as well just not stay here. Grab a cab and find a hotel to stay in. After saying this, she turned to leave. Stop right there! Fu Qi yelled. But Su Wanwan didnt stop, until the sound of hurried footsteps caught up with her, and Fu Qi grabbed her arm again. What do you want? Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, waiting for her response. Fu Qi red at her, somewhat exasperated, Let me tell you, Ive known Brother Jingshen for a full ten years! So? What does it matter? Su Wanwan looked intrigued. Fu Qi said, My brother is his senior, and also his business partner. Ive watched them build up Yunda step by step. They have a great rtionship, otherwise my brother wouldnt have entrusted Ziyang to him to discipline. Hmm. Su Wanwan nodded in agreement. I know Brother Jingshen likes his steak medium rare, his eggs over easy. He doesnt eattro and doesnt like spicy food. His favorite movie is Exciting 1995, his favorite music is blues jazz, his favorite team is Juventus, his favorite instrument is the violin. I even learned to y the violin because of him. After she finished speaking, Fu Qi looked at Su Wanwan. Her eyes showed clear resentment, But what about you? Do you know what his favorite color is, do you know his clothing and shoe sizes? Do you know his favorite sport? Su Wanwan looked at her, a faint smile on her face, My husbands favorite sport is to exercise with me. But you wouldnt understand it, and I cant me you. Fu Qis face immediately turned extremely red. She had been well protected from childhood and educated as adylike socialite. The people around her were always knowledgeable and modest. Even her sister-inw Xiu Xin and Huo Jinghua were very gentle women. No one had ever bluntly and crudely talked about such private things. It was really You She stuttered for a long time before finally managed to say, Youre shameless! Su Wanwan finally couldnt help butugh, Your Brother Jingshen is a man, and a normal married man at that. You think its shameful to do such things? Do you think hes a monk? Or you only like his face, you never thought abou being intimate with him? Have you never fantasized about it when youre dreaming at night? Youre not still a virgin Ah ah ah ah ah, what nonsense are you talking! Fu Qi, red-faced and embarrassed, interrupted her. Firstly, she didnt expect Su Wanwan to figure out that she likes Huo Jingshen. Secondly, she was too embarrassed to listen any further. Whats wrong? a mans low voice suddenly sounded from behind them. Fu Qi and Su Wanwan both jumped in surprise. At the stairway, Huo Jingshen rolled up his sleeves, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. It wasnt clear if he had heard their previous conversation. Su Wanwan blinked and said, Miss Fu wasnt satisfied with the room I arranged for her, so Im not! Fu Qi couldnt help but yell. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his voice like an elder admonishing a junior, Its gettingte, and we have to take Ziyang to school tomorrow. Go to bed early. After saying that, hefortably went back to their bedroom. It seemed he hadnt heard anything. Su Wanwan was relieved, Miss Fu, follow me. Fu Qi gritted her teeth, with no choice but to follow. But Su Wanwan led her all the way inside, stopping at the door of the innermost room, This room doesnt get much sunlight, but Miss Fu wont be staying for long, so just put up with it. As she opened the door, Fu Qi obviously disliked it, This room is too far in the back, theres no sunlight. Su Wanwanughed, I was afraid if it was too close to our master bedroom, you might overhear us doing that in the night and it could harm your young girls mental health. What should we do then? You Fu Qis face turned red again. * * When Su Wanwan returned to the bedroom, she felt refreshed. Even though a certain old man is shameless, hes still her officially married husband after all. How could she allow other women to covet him? Fortunately, that Fu Qi is really nothing special As soon as Su Wanwan closed the doors of the room, she was embraced with a pair of strong arms.. Chapter 120 - 120:120, the only wrestling Chapter 120:120, the only wrestling Trantor: 549690339 1 The mans voice was husky and deep, What was that you were saying about my favorite sport earlier? Hmm? Say it again for me. Holy moly! Su Wanwans face instantly turned beet red, and she suddenly felt weak in the knees. Damn it. He actually heard everything she said earlier? Damn, he heard it and pretended he didnt? Pretending to be noble and virtuous? This big bad wolf! Such a hypocrite! She was actually fooled! So in my babys heart, you love me so much. I feel like I have deprived you in the past. I need to make it up to you, Huo Jingshen said seriously, picking her up immediately, You also mentioned earlier that you wanted to share a bath together with me downstairs. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Su Wenwen screamed, cutting him off. At the same time, she quickly grabbed the pir of the wardrobe and refused to let go, Im not going, Ive already bathed, let me go! Join me for another bath. No! Be a good girl and listen. I wont! Being disobedient again? Huo Jingshen tried to prise her grip, but No, no! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, dont use so much force! Dont touch me In the corridor, Fu Qi, who was about to knock on their door, heard their voices. Her face turned red, and she quickly ran away. She initially wanted to ask for the WiFi password, but who would have thought that these two people even so early in the morning Especially that Su Wanwan, making such a loud noise, she was utterly shameless! * Back in the room, Su Wanwan was holding onto the wardrobe desperately, Dont touch me, let go, I dont want to bathe The mobile phone rang just then and she hurriedly said, I have to get up early tomorrow, you go take a bath. I need to answer this call. Huo Jingshen looked at her frightened little form, his eyes sparkling with mirth. A momentter, he finally let go. Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to pick up her phone, Weiyi. Huo Jingshen, That Mo Weiyi again! Wanwan, Im so pitiful. Mo Weiyis delicate voice came through the phone. What happened this time? Seeing Huo Jingshen finally go into the bathroom, Su Wanwan felt like a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders. Mo Weiyi continued, I just slipped in the shower. Ah! Now Im in the hospital, and the doctor wants me to stay for a few days for observation, wailing. Su Wenwen: Shes really done with this girl. How did you fall? Youve already sprained your ankle, cant you be more careful? I was bathing, and Xiaobai was downstairs in the study. I thought Id shouldnt bother him to carry me, and who knew I slipped, and it hurts so much. It was almost healed, but now its worse Xiao Yebai had juste back from making the payment and heard Mo Weiyisint from outside the door. The spoiled princess has always been pampered since she was a child, her body was wless and delicate without a single scar. But,tely, she seemed to be suffering one misfortune after another. First, she had a fight, then she sprained her ankle, and now she fell and fractured a toe He pushed the door open, and Mo Weiyisints promptly stopped, Alright, I wont bother you and Mr. Huo with your sweet time, bye-bye, remember toe see me tomorrow. She put down her phone and a bright smile lit up her face, Xiaobai, youre back. Xiao Yebai gave a hum, walked over, and pulled up the thin nket, Its gettingte, lets rest. But my foot hurts, Mo Weiyi pouted. Do you want a painkiller? Mo Weiyi shook her head, then stretched out her small hand, I want Xiaobai to hold me andfort me, then it wont hurt. Xiao Yebai put his phone and keys on the table, walked over, and sat on the edge of the bed. Mo Weiyi quickly buried herself in his arms, her hands wrapped around his waist. Her voice was soft and sweet as she asked, Xiaobai, will you stay with me tonight? Hmm. Then tomorrow, can you bring Xiao Xiaobai and Xiao Baibai to the hospital to apany me? Upon hearing these two names, Xiao Yebais brows twitched uncontrobly. After all, having his own name so simr to that of two little turtles was a bit ridiculous. Whats wrong? I think these two names are cute. Mo Weiyi said with a chuckle, Thats what you get for not helping me name them. Xiao Yebai replied nonchntly, Why not call them Mo Xiaoyi, Mo Yiyi. No way! Mo Weiyi annoyingly pinched his arm, I dont want to have the same name as a turtle. Xiao Yebai looked at her. Because she had suddenly been sent to the hospital after falling in the shower, she currently wore no make-up. Yet, even without the embellishment of cosmetics, she still looked charming and beautiful. Although the Mo familys features were rather ordinary, and Mo Yaoxiong looked rather rugged, this daughter of his was exquisitely beautiful, as if favored by heaven. A fleeting shadow passed through the mans eyes. Then he lowered his head, hisrge hand gently stroked her soft, curly hair, Sleep now, its alreadyte. Okay. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes, taking in his refreshing scent. The corners of her lips curled into a sweet smile. Xiaobai, youre so good to me. I should be. Xiao Yebai remained seated, waiting until she fell asleep. When he heard her soft, even breathing, he picked her up and slowlyid her on the hospital bed. After tucking her in, he quietly left the room. The moment the door closed, the woman who had appeared to be sleeping abruptly opened her eyes. Mo Weiyi stared at the tightly shut door, her stunning cat-like eyes unwavering, devoid of any emotion. Muchter, she averted her gaze, only to notice Xiao Yebais phone left on the table. * In the ward downstairs. The sudden opening of the door startled Xiao Zhiwei. She looked at the man entering, Brother, why did youe sote? ncing at the time, it was already eleven oclock at night. Xiao Yebai stood by the bed, his gaze heavy, his expression grim. Whats wrong, brother? Xiao Zhiwei felt uneasy under his gaze. Finally, Xiao Yebai asked indifferently, Why did you hide my phone? Her pupils constricted suddenly. Xiao Zhiweis first reaction was to reach for the pillow behind her. Ive already taken the phone. Xiao Zhiwei: Xiao Yebai looked at her, his expression and voice both extremely indifferent, Zhiwei, what exactly are you trying to do? Brother, I was wrong. Xiao Zhiweis eyes welled up with tears as she hurriedly exined, I was so scared that night, but I knew that you and Princess Su were celebrating your wedding anniversary. I didnt have the nerve to ask you to stay with me. I knew that as soon as she called, you would definitely go to her. So, I 1 was wrong. Brother, can you forgive me this time? Brother She lowered her head, covering her face, and whimpered softly. Only m front of Xiao Yebai would she allow her vulnerable side as a woman to be shown. Xiao Yebai stood there, allowing her to cry until her sobs became choked, but his expression didnt change a bit. After a while, his cold voice rang out, Youre my sister, of course Ill forgive you. But in the future, dont do things like this. When he finished speaking, he turned and left. Upon hearing the door shut, Xiao Zhiweis crying grew louder. Yes. * * When Xiao Yebai returned to the upstairs ward, he found Mo Weiyi lying in bed ying with her phone. He went over and nced at the table without a hint of emotion, Why arent you sleeping again? Mo Weiyi didnt speak. She stared at her phone, her eyes focused, unsure of what she was looking at. It was a rare sight indeed. From the age of fifteen, when she entered the Mo familys mansion for the first time, wearing a delicate princess dress, a ten-year-old girl named Mo Weiyi blessed with incredible beauty, blinked her innocent and stunning cat eyes and pointed at him. This brother is so handsome, I want him to be my boyfriend! She was innocent yet domineering. From then on, for ten years, every time she saw him, she would passionately approach him, constantly calling Xiaobai, Xiaobai. The proud and valuable Princess of the Mo family, rumored to be arrogant and superior to others, was always sticking to him like a tail, following him around. Even during the few years when she was studying abroad, she still found ways to bother him A hint of emotion shed across Xiao Yebais eyes. He stood there, silent for a long while.. Chapter 121 - 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded? Chapter 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded? Trantor: 549690339 I An emotion shed across Xiao Yebais eyes. He stood there for nearly half a minute. Then he noticed that Mo Weiyi was still looking at her mobile phone. Very unusual. But he didnt say anything, just picked up his mobile phone from the table and turned to go into the bathroom. The room door closed. Mo Weiyi quickly turned her head for a nce, then returned again to her mobile phone screen. She had posted a thread on Zhihu, with the titleJWhat to do? Suddenly Found Out My Husband Deceived Me] The replies fromizens were varied: Turn a blind eye to it, what else can you do? If a man lies to you, it surely means he doesnt love you enough! Confront him, fight with him! If its a white lie, just pretend you dont know. Ignorance is bliss. Depends on what he lied about, if he cheated, absolutely you should not put up with it! So, did the poster get cuckolded? Cuckolded? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her nose. What a mess of answers. How could Xiaobai ever make her a cuckold? He himself is cold even towards men, let alone women? Hearing the door opening again, she immediately tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes. The mans footsteps were very light. Soon, the fluorescent light was turned off, and the room darkened. Mo Weiyiy in bed, unable to resist, slowly opened her eyes. The ward was equipped with a night light, just bright enough for human eyes to see in. She saw Xiao Yebaiy down on the couch. At 1.88 meters tall, the length and width of the couch were clearly not enough for him, making him look distinctly ufortable. Yet he fell asleep quickly and soon began to snore lightly. But Mo Weiyiy there, awake deep into the night. Perhaps due to the secrets in her heart, it was not until the first light of dawn that she fell into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up again, it was the nurse who woke her. After taking her temperature, a call from Xiao Yebai came through. Mo Weiyi looked at the name on her screen, Kisses from Xiaobai. She let it ring for a long while before pressing the answer key, her voice listless, Hello. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line then Xiao Yebais voice came through as calmly as usual, Weiyi? Mmm. Does your foot still hurt? Mo Weiyi went off-topic, Xiaobai, why didnt you wake me up when you left? You were sleeping. From now on, you must wake me up before you leave, Mo Weiyi was somewhat angry, her voice sounded almost like an usation, And you didnt even say goodbye to me today, leaving me alone in the hospital. Doesnt it make you feel sorry for me, having no one to apany me? Saying this, her eyes started to well up. The fact that he had deceived her was already upsetting enough. Add to that her injury, and today being the first day of university, she was left alone to recuperate in the hospital. She truly felt wronged. The mans voice remained as deep and calm as before, I had aunt Jiang stay at the hospital with you. And you? Mo Weiyi asked. I have a meeting this morning, I can only go there at noon. Mo Weiyi clenched the nket in her hand, work, always work! Working all the time, never stopping! When youe in the afternoon, bring Xiaoxiaobai and Baibaibai with you. Ok, Xiao Yebai agreed, Do you want grandma to apany you too? No, Mo Weiyi refused. Grandma is of such advanced age and she lives in the old house in the southern part of the city, it would be inconvenient for her to travel back and forth. ** Mo Group. After putting down the phone, Xiao Yebai pondered for a moment, then dialed another number. Yo, whats up? Xiao actually has time to call me? Compared to the voice on the other end, Xiao Yebais voice was indifferent and rigid, Send all the web pages viewed and operated from eleven to twelvest night on the princesss phone to my mailbox. Damn, I knew you wouldnt contact me for anything good. I, as a cop, am formally warning you, youre invading someones privacy, even if its your wifes. Dont you have any legalmon sense? Then Ill find someone else. Hey, dont, the man stopped him, It would be even easier for others to expose this, forget it, Im just unlucky to know you. Over the years, havent I done enough dirty work and shady business for you? Good to know. With that, Xiao Yebai coldly hung up the phone. * * 10 minutester, the phone in the assistants office suddenly rang. Mr. Xiao, is there anything I can do for you? Zhong Kai, holding the receiver, was sincerely frightened. Being sought out by the boss first thing in the morning certainly wouldnt be a good thing. Who knew Go to the pet market and get me two pet dogs. What? Zhong Kais voice rose in surprise. Problem with your ears? No, no, Zhong Kai broke into a cold sweat. They shouldnt shed too much and should have a gentle temperament. Puppies would be best as they are easier to take care of. Pay attention to hygiene and safety. After you get them, send them directly to room number 2208, Nangong Hospital. The princess will be recuperating there for a few days. The mans voice was as if discussing todays stock market trends, without even a hint of ups and downs. Zhong Kai, however, was taken aback. Was Mr. Xiao trying to coax the princess? Wasnt the little turtle he sentst time cute enough? * * Hospital. After being cooped up in the ward for two hours, as soon as Aunt Jiang arrived, Mo Weiyi immediately ordered, Aunt Jiang, bring the wheelchair over. I want to go downstairs for a change of scenery.. Chapter 122 - 122:122, Little Princess Eavesdropping Chapter 122:122, Little Princess Eavesdropping Trantor: 549690339 Princess, the doctor says that your foot is injured and that you should probably avoid Im so bored. Can you please wheel me around the garden downstairs for a half an hour? But the sun is really strong today. Youll get sunburned easily. Aunt Jiang tries to dissuade her. With a sound, Mo Weiyi retorts, Isnt sunscreen made for this exact purpose? Get a nurse to find me an umbre as well. Uh Hurry up! Yes, princess. All along, she had to rush to borrow an umbre. ** Half an hourter, Aunt Jiang pushed Mo Weiyi downstairs. Although she was wearing a hospital patient gown, she had done her makeup and applied lipstick while applying sunscreen, and she was holding a pink parasol. She didnt look like a patient but rather, a princess on a day out. Mo Weiyi raised her hand, pointing to ces she wanted to visit one after another. She had soon been to every corner of the small hospital garden and found herself thirsty. Aunt Jiang, go to Starbucks and get me a Matcha Frappino, half ice, Mo Weiyi instructed. A bit concerned, Aunt Jiang looked around, Princess, let me wheel you upstairs first. I dont feelfortable leaving you unattended. Theres no need to worry. You just go buy it, Ill wait here for you. Alright then, Aunt Jiang relented, Princess, if anything happens, call me right away. Mo Weiyi raised an eloquent eyebrow, What could possibly happen? Hurry up. This is an exclusive hospital; who else could get in? Once the maid leaves, she puts away the sunshade, and wheels herself to a shady spotplete with artificial hills and fountains. There are even some goldfish in the pond. Carp,perhaps? As she takes out her mobile to snap a few pictures for her social media, a sharp female voice suddenly came from behind the artificial hill. Why are you so ruthless? Im carrying your child! You actually want me to abort it? Are you certain that child is mine? This voice? Why does it sound so familiar? Mo Weiyi cranes her neck and sees a man and woman standing behind the hill. Unable to clearly see their faces, but judging from their figures, they are probably both attractive. Want to deny it, do you? the woman raged, I was your girlfriend two months ago. Have you forgotten the night we spent in Lidu Hotel? Do you know, the mans frivolous voice was slow and thick with scorn, that Ive been sterilized for thest six years? Fuck! Sterilized? Mo Weiyis eyes rounded in surprise. Its not possible! The woman was shocked as well, parroting in TV soap opera style, I dont believe it, I dont believe it, you must be lying to me! You must be lying, right Heh. The man chuckled, Is that so? During these six years, Ive been with countless women, why is it only you happen to get pregnant? But that night, you clearly If you firmly believe the child is mine, give birth to it, the man cut her off. Surprised and excited, the woman replied, Really? Xiuhuang, I knew that you still loved But then, I will demand a paternity test. If its not my child, then you may think todays weather is fantastic, the best you might ever see in your life. From then on, you will probably spend your days in some dark corner, staring at the dark ceiling Want to know the fate of the woman who tried to trap me? Do you want to experience it yourself? After a flurry of footsteps, the woman was apparently scared off. Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue. So shes trying to use the child as leverage to marry into the Chu Family? Thats hriously naive. Little Princess, enjoying the eavesdropping? Mo Weiyis heart skipped a beat. Chu Xiuhuang already walked out from behind the artificial hill. He wore a blue shirt, with both hands in his ck trousers pockets. Tall and aloof, a half-smoked cigarette dangled from his thin lips, his phoenix eyes touched withughter as they stared at her. Mov Weiyi blinked, and attempted to wheel away, but the man stepped forward, easily, yet effectively stopping her chair with his foot. You didnt be crippled after I identally hit youst time, did you? His low, slightly mocking voice sounded again. Youre the crippled one, your whole family is crippled! Chu Xiuhuangs over-the-top reaction provoked another low chuckle, flicking the cigarette in his fingers a couple of times before saying, A cripple fits well with an unruly person like me, we make a perfect pair. Here ites again! With a captivating cat gaze, Mo Weiyi stares at him, Can you please stop? What did I do wrong? Chu Xiuhuang raises an eyebrow, his yful pair of eyes even more frivolous. Mo Weiyi, trying to remain patient, What happened before was nothing but a misunderstanding, you What happened between you and me? Chu Xiuhuang interrupts him mid-sentence, What exactly happened between you and me? Mo Weiyi tightens his lips and squints as if feeling helpless, I know Im attractive, and I understand why you still cant get over not being able to be engaged to me. But Im married now, and the rtionship between Xiaobai and me is very strong. We love each other deeply, so I suggest you forget about what happened and forget about me. If you still cant forget After thinking for a moment, he said, Just consider me as your unrequited love, there are so many men who have an unrequited love for me, so one more wont matter. Chu Xiuhuang looks at the little woman in front of him. She sits in a wheelchair, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown that brings out an air of sickly beauty. Her deep auburn curls flutter around her exquisite face. Chin raised high, and eyes slightly squinted. That look, that posture, was beyond proud, mboyant, and self-confident. Pfft! He finally couldnt help but burst outughing. Mo Weiyi: Little Princess, Chu Xiuhuang clears his throat, serious, you are indeed the most narcissistic woman Ive ever met. Mo Weiyi again: Although you are indeed very beautiful, but personally speaking, I prefer a woman with a 36D (cup size). After saying this, Chu Xiuhuangs gaze crudely drifts towards her. Mo Weiyi is busy raising her hands to shield herself, who would have thought 75B. In an instant, Mo Weiyis cat eyes pop wide open. How on earth does this man know her measurements? As a princess, she considers herself tall and slender, fine-boned, pretty-faced, and having smooth milky skin, which are all almost perfect. But the only thing she cant brag about Is her bust size! She used to be an A cup, after her marriage when she turned eighteen, it has gradually grown to a B cup. Unlike Su Wanwan that little girl, who has arge bust, a slim waist and a perky butt, her figure is bursting and concave, which is so enviable. Um, shes already twenty years old, it shouldnt continue to grow, right? Whining- Although you can develop a little more by having a baby, Xiaobai still doesnt want her to be pregnant yet. Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi snaps back to reality and sternly retorts, Its none of your business! Xiaobai doesnt care that Im small! Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang bursts outughing once more. Mo Weiyis face reddens with anger, What are youughing at! Chu Xiuhuang removes his cigarette, throws it on the ground, and steps on it a couple of times, Alright, Little Princess, I have other matters to attend to, I must be going. Wait. The man stops in his tracks, his pair of eyes ncing at her beautiful face, Is there anything else, Little Princess? Mo Weiyi looks at him looking unruly, and cant help but gossip, So, did you really get a vasectomy? His thin lips twitched a couple of times, then, Chu Xiuhuangs expression reverted to his usual frivolousness, Why, Little Princess, you dont have a prejudice against men whove had a vasectomy, do you? Mo Weiyi hurriedly waves her little hands, No, not at all, I wont look down on you, I swear! Chu Xiuhuang chuckles, Little Princess, dont worry, even if Ive had a vasectomy, Im still a normal man, I can still normally have Boom, Mo Weiyis face turns red as a beet. As a woman, she felt that she was pretty flirtatious, but encountering this man, she suddenly feels incredibly pure! Rolling her eyes, shes about to speak again when suddenly, a cold masculine voice echoes from behind. Weiyi. Mo Weiyi quickly turns around. Not far away, Xiao Yebai stands tall and long legged, dressed in a ck shirt and trousers, enhancing his cold and ruthless demeanor. Although standing under the sun, an overbearing aura surrounds him as if shrouded by ayer of chilling air, forming a detached atmosphere. Jiang Auntie stands beside him, her hands carrying a bag of beverages, her expression filled with astonishment and helplessness. Um Mo Weiyi blinks her beautiful cat eyes, Xiaobai, when did you get here? Xiao Yebai doesnt answer. His gaze from behind the sses focuses on the still nonchnt man.. Chapter 123 - 123:123, who are you trying to flirt with your rustic pickup lines? Chapter 123:123, who are you trying to flirt with your rustic pickup lines? Trantor: 549690339 I Chu Xiuhuang. Heir to the Chu family, famously renegade bad boy of Nancheng. He runs casinos, clubs, venture capital firms; he parties, drinks, and womanizes. Its said that he changes girlfriends monthly, and the queue of women hes slept with could circle Nancheng several times over. At twenty-nine, he possesses a face as handsome as any movie stars. His facial features are delicately beautiful, yet they dont make him seem effeminate. On the contrary, one look would tell you hes not to be messed with. The high society of Nancheng is well-aware of a so-called Crown Princes Party,prised of notorious young masters from the wealthiest families. The most arrogant and domineering among them is Chu Xiuhuang. He loves stirring up trouble, and hes fearless in his exploits. In Nancheng, his name is synonymous with scandal. He had been seen from afar, standing in front of Mo Weiyis wheelchair, nonchntly and casually as if they were old friends catching up. Hmph. Xiao Yebais ck eyes gradually turned icy. For the first time, he witnessed Mo Weiyi enjoying thepany of another man. If he recalls correctly, two years ago, she almost became engaged to this man. The media described them as a match made in heaven. Chu Xiuhuang was watching him, and found something interesting Amusement spread in his eyes. Could it be that he detected a flicker of hostility in the eyes of this icy man? With a raise of his eyebrows and a deliberately gentle tone full of suggestive warmth, Chu Xiuhuang said, Ah, little princess, since your husband came to pick you up, I, the third wheel, shall take my leave now. We can continue our discussion about breast augmentation next time. Having said that, he turned and swaggered away. For Mo Weiyi, this left her feeling like she might be killed by him. Looking at Xiao Yebais cold demeanor, she tried to exin, Xiaobai, please dont misunderstand, I was just No need to exin, Xiaobai interrupted coldly. Mo Weiyi was speechless. Aunt Jiang, wheel the princess back to her room, ordered Xiao Yebai. Aunt Jiang hurried over and handed Mo Weiyi a drink. Mo Weiyi felt her mood change. Was Xiaobai angry? But she was still furious herself! He lied to her about losing his cellphone and didnt join her at their hotel that night. Instead, he spent the whole evening in the hospital with Xiao Zhiwei. Mo Weiyi considered herself reasonable and understanding. If Xiao Yebai had told her about Xiao Zhiwei, even with her dislike for Zhiwei, she wouldnt have forced him to spend their anniversary with her in the hotel. Instead of exining Zhiweis situation, he lied to her about losing his cellphone. What was his intention? Did he value his sister more than his wife? Or does he think she, Mo Weiyi, was that domineering and heartless? The angrier she became, the more silent she grew. Aunt Jiang, pushing the wheelchair, didnt dare to speak. The three of them awkwardly entered the elevator, then returned to the hospital room. Xiao Yebai bent down and wordlessly lifted her onto the hospital bed. Upon seeing his face so close, Mo Weiyi remembered when she used to think his aloofness was cool, reserved, and untouchable, making her want to pounce on him. But now She scoffed internally, took out her cellphone, and dialed a number after climbing onto the bed. After connecting the call, she deliberately sweetened her voice to ask, Baby, how are you? As expected, Xiao Yebai nced at her. His gaze was still cold and indifferent. On the phone, Su Wanwan replied, Just finished the admission procedures. Why sote, darling? Its almost noon, is it hot out there? Su Wanwans voice grew dubious, Mo Xiaose, are you on some kind of drug? Still maintaining her provocative tone, Mo Weiyi responded, Just be careful, darling. Once Ive healed, Ille stay with you, and we can sleep together. After saying this, she nced at Xiao Yebai, only to see him picking up his phone. Darling, are youing to the hospital to see me this afternoon? Mo Weiyi asked. As soon as Im settled, I will. What kind of fruits should I bring? No need, darling. As long as youe to see me, Ill be happy. Love you, baby. On her end of the call, Su Wanwan couldnt hide her look of utter bewilderment. What was wrong with Mo Xiaose? Did she lose her mind when she fell? Her nauseatingly sweet tone was giving her goosebumps How much longer? Huo Jingshens voice suddenly rang out. He had been busy all morning taking the two royalties to finalise their school registration. His phone hadnt stopped ringing all morning; every so often, he had to pick up a call. Su Wanwan said, You can go to thepany if you have something to do. She remembered him saying that he had a meeting at eleven. Being the head of such argepany as Huo Yuan, it was hard on him. After dropping off Fu Ziyang, he hade to escort her as well. Huo Jingshen nced at the line in front of them. Besides her, all the others were freshmen preparing to receive their housing necessities. Ill finish queuing once I get my things, hinted Su Wanwan. No rush, replied Huo Jingshen, the corners of his lips lifting slightly, Youre my wife. Being with you is more important than attending a meeting with a bunch of old men. The girls in front of them instantly turned around upon hearing his words. Cough, cough. Embarrassed, Su Wanwan choked. Smelly man! Who is he flirting with cheesy lines like that? About half an hourter, finally, it was Su Wanwans turn. In an attempt to annoy Fu Qi, she had gone out of her way to dress up for the day. In contrast to the freshmen girls around her, she wore a knee-length red floral dress, revealing her slender arms and attractive white legs.. Chapter 124 - 124:124, your husband isn’t a bad man, he doesn’t cheat. Chapter 124:124, your husband isnt a bad man, he doesnt cheat. Trantor: 549690339 Her long, seaweed-like hair waspletely spread out, ck and fluffy, with just the right amount of curly waves at the ends. She wore light makeup on her delicate oval face, her features were exquisite, her red lips eye-catching. Add to this a pair of bright, flirtatious phoenix eyes In short, she was stunningly beautiful and captivating. She attracted a lot of attention in the crowd. The work of arranging and handing out items was handled by senior students. Thinking she was a naive freshman, and that she was so pretty, they were eager to assist her. Once her items were packed, one brave soul even tried to strike up a conversation, Junior sister, what department are you in? Journalism, Su Wanwan replied with a warm smile. What a coincidence! Im in the Journalism department too. Im in my second year, so Im your senior. My name is Shes in her third year, shes your senior. Huo Jingshen coldly interrupted. Su Wanwan wanted tough, but then her hand was grabbed. Huo Jingshen swiftly lifted up the bag with one hand, and quickly led her away. The man was mature and gentlemanly. The girl was slender, sweet, and enticing. At first nce, they looked like a match made in heaven. The male students: End. Being pulled by him, Su Wanwan couldnt help but steal nces. It was amusing how the CEO of a listedpany, dressed in a shirt and tie, looking every bit the business giant, was carrying her military camouge bag for her. But he seemed quitefortable with it, just like the first time she saw him cooking in the kitchen. Even though it was quite out of character, he seemed calm andposed, even elegant. When they got to the girls dormitory, since the third-year students had a day off before sses began, it was early and no one had arrived yet. After putting down her bag, Su Wanwan began to shoo him off again, Go to yourpany meeting. Huo Jingshen looked at her with a serious expression. Uh, you still have to send Miss Fu home, right? Running back and forth, arent you going to bete for yourpany meeting? Su Wanwan kindly reminded him. Shes already gone home on her own. What? Su Wanwan was surprised, You sent a young girl whos not even from China back home on her own? She doesnt know anyone here, what if shes in danger on the road? So, baby, is this you testing me? Huo Jingshen quirked an eyebrow. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes innocently, What do you mean? Huo Jingshen replied earnestly, Darling, dont overthink. Your husband is clean, not a cheater. Su Wanwan: And shes only twenty-two. To me, shes just a kid. A kid? Su Wanwan couldnt help retorting, Im two years younger than her, how can you Youre different. In what way? Huo Jingshen looked at her with a meaningful look, Youre my wife, no matter how young, you can keep my bed warm. Su Wanwan: Damn it, you cant expect a decent word from his mouth! ** ** There wasnt much to pack anyway. Huo Jingshen didnt stay for long and soon left. But when he returned to the parking garage, he found someone still standing by his car. Brother Jingshen. Fu Qi looked at him, her tone full of fear. Why havent you left? There are things I dont understand, Brother Jingshen, I want to ask If you cant understand, dont think about it; better not to trouble yourself. Huo Jingshen responded evasively and got into his car. Brother Jingshen. Fu Qi quickly grabbed the car door, plucking up the courage to ask him, On my twentieth birthday, I confessed my feelings to you. You told me inly that you didnt like girls much younger than you, that there would be a generation gap, and that you saw me as a sister. But why now why did you marry Su Wanwan? Shes even two years younger than me. Theres no reason why. Huo Jingshens tone was indifferent. But back then, I thought you liked Dong Manjiao, my brother told me that you were going to marry her. The Dong family gave you a twenty percent share and you were regarded as the future son-inw of Eastern Alliance. I knew that in any respect, I couldntpare to Dong Manjiao. I didnt want to hinder your career, so I told myself to give up. But now, why have you Fu Qi, Huo Jingshen cut her off. I have an important meeting at eleven. Take a cab home. Also, His voice was so light that it was almost indifferent, I had Ji Jie purchase a ticket for you to return to the United Kingdom tomorrow. You can pack when you get home. Fu Qis face paled instantly, Brother Jingshen, my brother wants me to stay in China for a few more days. Ziyang, he Ziyang has already enrolled. He doesnt need you to worry about him. Huo Jingshen casually nced at her fingers clutching the car door. His eyes, as usual, were calm, his expression indifferent. Fu Qi felt a chill in her heart and had to let go of her hand. The ck Mu Shang roared away, leaving a cloud of dust behind. She stood there, biting down hard on her lips, her eyes and eyebrows filled with indescribable grievances and unwillingness. * * As soon as Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan felt like a wild child who had been given the wind, instantly cheerful! After tidying up the bed, she looked at the time to set out for the hospital. But just as she got up, a new person arrived at the dormitory. Hi, hello. Hearing the voice, Su Wanwan looked up at her.. Chapter 125 - 125:125, the female tyrant is back again. Chapter 125:125, the female tyrant is back again. Trantor: 549690339 Curly short hair, slim and long Danfeng eyes, wearing a thin spaghetti-strap tank top, with heavy makeup on, the entire person exuded a fiery and sexy aura. Have I seen you somewhere before? The girl frowned, her Danfeng eyes full of astuteness and curiosity. Su Wanwan lifted her eyebrows, Lin Qiao. Lin Qiaos expression changed, You youre Su Wanwan? Su Wanwan nodded. Lin Qiao immediately felt unwell. They hadnt seen each other for two years, why did Su Wanwan suddenly return to the country? She has changed so much and now they were living in the same dormitory? You live in this dormitory? As expected, Su Wanwan nodded. Lin Qiao then asked, You also study journalism? Su Wanwan continued to nod. Lin Qiao: She bit her lip and suddenly, she let go of her suitcase and quickly walked up to Su Wanwan, her expression was a warning, Jiang Shuhao is my boyfriend now, he and us are in the same ss, you understand what I mean, dont you? Who is Jiang Shuhao? Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes. You dont remember him? Lin Qiaos voice rose sharply, full of disbelief. Who is he, and do I need to remember him? Su Wanwan felt very confused. She truly did not remember him. The reason she remembered Lin Qiao was that they had the same ss in high school for three years and lived in the same dormitory for three years. Lin Qiaos monolid phoenix eyes were very distinctive, leaving a deep impression on her. They had fought before, it seemed to be about a matter rted to a boy writing a love letter That wouldnt be that Shuhao, would it? But now, she had no time to dwell on the past. Su Wanwan quickly picked up her bag, Im leaving now. Wait a minute. Lin Qiao blocked her path, still with that intimidating tone, Didnt you go study abroad? Why are youing to South University? How did you get in? Can you transfer universities? Noment. With a faint smile, Su Wanwan moved her arm away and left. Lin Qiao stood there, so angry she stomped her foot. Damn! This woman hade back, and just happened to be in the same ss and dormitory with her, why was she so unlucky! * * In the hospital ward. After Mo Weiyi finished that call, he has been lying in bed ying with his cell phone. Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa, busy working on his phone all the time. After a gurgling sound, Mo Weiyi put down his phone, Im hungry. Princess, what do you want to eat? asked Aunt Jiang immediately. Mo Weiyi, however, was looking at Xiao Yebai, I want to eat crab roe Xiaolongbao from Shaoheji. Ill order it right now No! Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids. Then he found that Mo Weiyi was looking at him, tilting her little chin, ordering, Xiaobai, I want to eat the crab roe Xiaolongbao from Shaoheji. Xiao Yebai picked up his phone. I want you to go buy it for me personally. Mo Weiyi pronounced word by word. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his tone was cold, Is there a difference? Of course there is a difference. If you go buy it for me personally, its your thoughtfulness. If you call to have it delivered, then your thoughtfulness would only be worth half of it, couldnt I just call and order myself? Then you order it yourself. Xiao Yebai said directly. Mo Weiyi was immediately angry, No, I want you to go buy it for me. The tone of Xiao Yebai also turned colder instantly, I have a meeting at two. The implication was that he didnt have time. Mo Weiyi snorted, and crossed her arms, Then Im not eating, let me starve! Xiao Yebai: Aunt Jiang looked at the two of them and couldnt help but intervene, Princess, shall I go buy it for you? No! Mo Weiyi lifted her chin proudly, I only want to eat the one Xiaobai buys. If Xiaobai doesnt buy it, I wont eat it. Xiao Yebai rubbed his temples, Mo Weiyi, can you stop being so willful? Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes suddenly turned red. Mo Weiyi? Since their marriage, he hasnt called her that. Whenever he called her by her full name, it meant that he was angry. But why was he angry? She is starving and just wanted him to buy a hot crab roe Xiaolongbao, is that not allowed? And the reason he refused her was always work! Is work that important? The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more upset she became, eventually giving in to despair, Yeah, Im just this capricious. If youre unhappy, you dont have to buy it, go to work, go live with your work, why dont you let me starve? After saying that, she immediately lied down, staring at the ceiling with cat-like eyes. Aunt Jiang was somewhat flustered. Having served in the Mo family for two years, the princess was always pampered and rarely lost her temper. Although President Xiao didnt talk much, he hardly ever lost his temper either. This was the first time she saw the young couple arguing, but she didnt know how to mediate. There was a moment of tension in the ward. Then Xiao Yebai picked up his car keys and left. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Mo Weiyi pouted, tears streaming down her face. Princess Get out! Ah? Out! Mo Weiyi said with a lilting cry. But Just go! I dont want to see you! She hit the pillow to the floor. Frightened, Aunt Jiang quickly turned around and left, Alright, princess, Im going. When the door was closed again, Mo Weiyiy on her side, her long, curly, dark hair cascading down to cover her entire face. Her soft sobs could be heard in the room. At that moment, Mo Weiyi really felt she had been wronged.. Chapter 126 - 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me. Chapter 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me. Trantor: 549690339 She used to think that, regardless of whether Xiao Yebai liked her or not, as long as he stayed by her side, he was her man. Even if he was cold as ice every day, she was still happy, cheerful, and satisfied. But today, she got hurt, and he wouldnt even be bothered to go buy crab dumplings for her himself. Thinking of his impatient attitude just now, it was as if she was a domineering and unreasonable woman. He had always been so frosty and silent. Was it because he was annoyed with her princess-like tantrums? Fine, she would just continue then. After all, in his eyes, her image was just like that, otherwise he wouldnt have lied about losing his phone previously. New grudges and old grievancesbined made Mo Weiyi cry miserably. Eventually, she fell asleep with her tears still flowing. She didnt know how much time had passed. Through her daze, her cheek was bumped by something suddenly. Warm, soft, and carrying a rich fragrance. Mo Weiyi suddenly opened her eyes. In front of her was the cold indifference and handsome features of Xiao Yebai. He sat at the edge of her bed, his slender white fingers holding two chopsticks. A dumpling was pinched between them, and he was staring at her with an expressionless face. Although he was still his calm and cool self, Mo Weiyi felt as if her heart was blown by the spring breeze of March. All grievances and annoyances disappeared in an instant, and her heart felt warm, sweet, and bubbled with little pink bubbles. She couldnt help but curl up the corners of her mouth, her tone carrying a slight shyness and naivety of a young girl, Did you go to buy dumplings for me just now? Xiao Yebai responded with a nod. That simple sentence was enough for Mo Weiyi to feelpletely healed. She sat up, coquettishly said in a soft voice, Then you feed me. Xiao Yebai, with chopsticks in hand, brought the dumpling to her mouth. Watching her open her small mouth and carefully bite into the thin wrap, followed by sucking the soup inside, his heart softened. Her cheeks were flushed, there was slight redness around her eyes, and there were clear traces of wetness on hershes. It was clear she had been crying. Xiao Yebai lowered hisshes, hiding the flicker of emotions that passed through his eyes. Delicious. Mo Weiyi squinted her eyes in satisfaction after the meal. Her favorite was the freshly made crab dumplings from Shaoheji, an old brand in Shanghai. They were particrly authentic, rich in crab roe, and the texture was fresh and delicious. Especially the soup inside, just one sip gave the feeling of being on cloud nine. After eating two in a row, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Xiaobai, arent you eating? Xiao Yebai responded lightly, You eat first. Mo Weiyi noticed that there were still two boxes in the take-out bag beside her, presumably for him to eatter. Xiaobai was so considerate and fed her first to keep her from starving. But right when she finished her third dumpling, Auntie Jiang walked in. Xiao Yebai instructed, Auntie Jiang, please bring the porridge to room 2101. Alright, Mr. Xiao. Auntie Jiang hurriedly left with the bag, but Mo Weiyi waspletely stunned. Room 2101. The room Xiao Zhiwei was staying in. The porridge wasnt for him, it was for Xiao Zhiwei. So when he held another dumpling with the chopsticks, she shoved it away, I dont want to eat anymore! Whats wrong? Xiao Yebai frowned slightly. Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and asked, You went to buy lunch for your sister, so you just bought the dumplings for me along the way, right? Xiao Yebai looked at her, slowly put down the chopsticks. Seeing his silence as affirmation, Mo Weiyi immediately shouted angrily, Then go and coax your sister, why are you still coaxing me? Go away, I dont want to see you! Leave! Having said that, she turned around, her back towards him. Mo Weiyi. Xiao Yebai called her name in a low voice, I have a meeting at two oclock. Mo Weiyi faced away from him, remaining silent. The room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Knock-knock. The door was suddenly knocked. Su Wanwan stood at the door holding arge bouquet of lilies, her big eyes rolling around trying to peek inside. The man stood up. Without uttering a word, he left the room with his phone. Uh. Su Wanwan waspletely puzzled as she walked in, noticing the half-eaten dumplings on the bedside table. Weiyi. Hearing this voice, Mo Weiyi finally turned around, her small face filled with grievance, Wanwan, youre here. Whats wrong? Did you fight with your Xiaobai? Su Wanwan found this truly strange. Even though Xiao Yebai was always cold and umunicative, indeed possessing the ability to leave people freezing or infuriated, she didnt expect that Mo Weiyi, with her adoring nature, would end up quarreling with him. With a pout, Mo Weiyi nodded, Wanwan, Im about to be infuriated to death by him! What happened? Mo Weiyi recounted the whole story. In the end, she picked up her chopsticks, bit into a juicy dumpling, and asked while chewing, Dont you think hes way out of line? Su Wanwan nodded, firmly siding with her friend, He indeed crossed the line! He must be downstairs having dinner with his sister now! Uh, Su Wanwan frowned, That shouldnt be the case, right? After all, one is his wife, and the other only his cousin The next second. Mo Weiyi dropped her chopsticks, Wanwan, help me. Im going downstairs to find him. Uh? Didnt you hurt your leg? Wait for him toe back and then No, I want to go now! Su Wanwan: Just then, Aunt Jiang came back to the room. Aunt Jiang, bring the wheelchair over! Mo Weiyi ordered. The Little Princess was really unstoppable when she threw a tantrum. When she sat in the wheelchair, Su Wanwan could only follow her downstairs. Upon arriving at the door of room 2101, Mo Weiyi didnt knock and just pushed the door open. Inside the sickroom, Xiao Zhiwei was sitting on the bed eating porridge. The entire room was empty. Only she was there, no sign of Xiao Yebai. Mo Weiyi instinctively looked towards the small kitchen. Whats the matter? Xiao Zhiwei put down her bowl, her words dripping with sarcasm, Did the two guards bring the princess to inspect the room? Su Wanwans eyelid twitched. This Xiao Yebais cousin wasnt someone easy either. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together, even their icy tone was very simr. Wheres Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi asked. Xiao Zhiwei smiled, Did the princess make my brother run away? Seeing Mo Weiyis face instantly clouding over, sheughed even more delightedly, I told you, my brother never liked you. You thought marrying him made him yours? A spoiled and willful woman like you, who only cares about her feelings and never consider others, the longer my brother stays with you, the more hell dislike you. You can keep him by your side, but youll never win his heart, how ludicrously foolish! Not to mention Mo Weiyi, even Su Wanwan felt a surge of anger upon hearing these words. She advised, Weiyi, Xiaobai should have gone back to thepany. Why dont you call him and ask? Aunt Jiang, push me in. Su Wanwan: Aunt Jiang had already pushed the wheelchair into the room. Su Wanwan could only follow in, ncing around at the stark contrast between this room and Mo Weiyis. There werent any flowers or gifts, everything was stark and cold. Even the curtains were drawn. Add in Xiao Zhiweis gloomy face All in all, it felt chilling. The ring of a cell phone cut through the silence. Su Wanwan checked the caller ID to find that it was a call from Elder Mrs. Huo. She hurriedly walked towards the door, Weiyi, I need to take this call. Mo Weiyi didnt respond. She nced at the bowl of porridge on the table and the takeout box next to it, with the words Shaoheji written on it. She felt as if a hole had been hollowed out in her heart, and an icy wind blew through it, leaving her sour and astringent. She looked at Xiao Zhiwei and gave a faint smile, Xiao Zhiwei. Xiao Zhiwei was watching her as well. Sigh, truly a spoiled little princess. Even in the hospital, she was wlessly perfect from head to toe. Even now, with her injuries, even in the same blue and white hospital gown as her, she managed to give off abined sense of helpless beauty and haughty aloofness. A surge of envy was rushing rapidly in her heart. Every time she saw Mo Weiyi, she couldnt resist this feeling. Does the princess want to hit me again? she provoked. Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, her red lips curling into a proud smile, Xiao Zhiwei, when will you finally end your pathetic incestuous obsession with your brother? You were like this four years ago, went abroad for four years, and youre still the same! What, werent those foreign men enough to satisfy your desires? Youve ruined your body and youre still making a scene? With a loud crash, Xiao Zhiwei overturned the bowl and the takeout box on the table.. Chapter 127 - 127:127, a cold-blooded creature without any warmth Chapter 127:127, a cold-blooded creature without any warmth Trantor: 549690339 She pointed at the door, pale and distorted, Get out, get out now! Her uninjured left foot was sshed with hot porridge, causing some pain. Mo Weiyi just nced down at her. When he raised his eyes, a brighter smile spread over his face. Did I hit a nerve? Are you mad? Xiao Zhiweis hands were shaking uncontrobly. The secret buried deep within her heart was suddenly revealed andid bare under the sun She felt utterly humiliated. Catching a glimpse of a dark shadow at the door, Xiao Zhiwei suddenly reached out and shoved at Mo Weiyi. Of course, Mo Weiyi wouldnt just let her shove him. He immediately pushed her back instead. Who knew Ah! Xiao Zhiwei screamed, having tumbled off the other end of the bed. Mo Weiyi was stunned by the unexpected event. Was his push really that strong? A womans painful moan and anxious enquiries were heard. He tried to say something but Mo Weiyi! Xiao Yebais cold voice rang out from behind. * * Su Wanwan was taking a call in the corridor, but she couldntprehend a word of what Mrs. Huo was saying. In the end, Mrs. Huo concluded, In short, now that youre married to Ashen, youre the daughter-inw our Huo family acknowledges. Dont worry, no matter what, Ill make sure Ashen gives you an answer! Then she hung up. A confused Su Wanwan put down the phone only to see doctors and nurses rushing out of the elevator and into Xiao Zhiweis ward. By the time Su Wanwan followed them in, the ward was in utter chaos. She saw the curtain around the hospital bed drawn, a female doctor was urgently putting on gloves andmunicating something to the nurses, while Xiao Zhiweis pained groans echoed from behind the curtains The floor was scattered with spilled porridge and takeout bags. From her wheelchair, Mo Weiyi was rapidly exining, I didnt push her. She was the one pushing me. I didnt actually push her hard Aunt Jiang, take the princess back. Xiao Yebai cut her off. His voice was deep and calm, concealing any emotional fluctuations. Yet Mo Weiyi felt as though her heart was being ripped apart by his words. She was uneasy and agitated, trying frantically to defend herself. Xiaobai, everything I said is true. Dont you believe me? I really didnt Aunt Jiang. Aunt Jiang, startled, quickly wheeled her away. The patient is bleeding! Prepare swabs and hemostatic balls! Quickly In the midst of the flurry of doctors, nurses, and medical equipment, the ward descended into chaos. Su Wanwan looked at Xiao Yebai. Compared to the others, he was standing still, his expressionless face making him seem detached and horrifyingly calm. A chill ran down her spine, prompting Su Wanwan to quickly leave the scene. At the elevator entrance, Aunt Jiang was waiting, pushing the wheelchair. Weiyi, what happened? Su Wanwan asked as she caught up to them. Mo Weiyi was slumped and silent. Aunt Jiang, what happened? Aunt Jiang then mumbled, I didnt quite see what happened. The princess and Miss Xiao were just talking when Miss Xiao suddenly fell off the bed, and Mr. Xiao saw it all. Weiyi, is what Aunt Jiang said the truth? Mo Weiyi kept her head down and remained silent. It was only when they reached her room and while Aunt Jiang was helping her into bed, did Mo Weiyi finally say, It hurts. Where does it hurt? Su Wanwan hurriedly asked. Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows and fell silent again. Where did it hurt? Right now, all she felt was a pain in her heart. Especially thinking about the fact that Xiao Yebai did not listen to her exnation at all made her heart ache as if it were being cut open. Princess. Aunt Jiang suddenly eximed in rm. Youve hurt your foot? * * In the ward downstairs. The female doctor finally emerged from behind the curtain. She took off her gloves and rebuked Xiao Yebai, What did I tell you before? Pregnant women need to rest in bed after an abortion. The uterus wall has suffered severe damage, and the body is extremely weak. You need to stay in bed for at least three days and not move around! Cant you discuss things peacefully? Did you have to make such a fuss that she fell off the bed? Are you okay with not having a baby in the future? You can rest easy now. Theres no chance of having one! Doctor, Xiao Zhiweis voice was weak and trembling, Does this mean I cant have children in the future? Now you regret it. Where was this remorse before The doctors words were cut off by Xiao Zhiweis crying. Xiao Zhiwei started crying uncontrobly and nearly hysterically without any warning. Feeling sorry for her, the doctor could only sigh and console her, Stop treating your body like a joke. Cooperate with us in your treatment and recover first. Its notpletely hopeless in the future. Once the doctors and nurses left the room, Xiao Zhiwei leaned back on the bed and began toin, Brother, it was Mo Weiyi. She deliberately pushed me off the bed. Xiao Yebai was still standing in his original position, in contrast to her agitated voice, his voice was calm and devoid of any emotional ripples.. How exactly did she push you? Chapter 128 - 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot! Chapter 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot! Trantor: 549690339 She thought you wereing to see me, so she brought her servant to find me, said a lot of nasty things, I got angry and argued with her, then she pushed me. I had just had surgery, and I had absolutely no strength, so she pushed me off the bed, Xiao Yebai looked at her without saying a word. Because he was wearing sses and the curtain was just pulled open, the light that came in was reflected off the lenses, making it unclear, and it was impossible to make out his expression. The unknown made Xiao Zhiwei feel nervous. She lowered her head, and covered her face with both hands, The doctor said that I can never have children again. Its all her fault! She hates me, so she purposely pushed me With that, the woman couldnt help but start to sob softly. If you knew she hated you, why did you deliberately argue with her? The mans indifferent words made Xiao Zhiweis shoulders stiffen up. She raised her face, unable to resist asking, Does this mean, brother, you are ming me now? She was the one who pushed me off the bed, why are you ming me for starting an argument with her? Xiao Zhiwei couldnt control her anger. Indeed, I argued with her, but is that really all my fault? Youve known her for so long, she is like a spoiled princess, she thinks the world has to revolve around her, otherwise she throws a tantrum! But you are ming me? Brother, why do you always protect her? Why I didnt protect her. Xiao Yebais voice was still indifferent, but his words made Xiao Zhiweis face change instantly. He said, I just believe her. The ward fell into a deadly silence. It was a while before Xiao Zhiwei managed to ask, trembling, So, brother, you mean she didnt push me, I am lying? I intentionally made myself fall off the bed, risking my own body, and making sure I can never get pregnant again, can never be a mother? Xiao Yebai stood there, unmoving. In fact, from the moment he stepped into the room, aside from ordering Aunt Jiang to call the doctor, then asking her to take Mo Weiyi away, his posture hadnt changed at all. He was wearing a ck shirt and trousers, his figure was indifferent but emitted a sense of loneliness. No matter how chaotic the surroundings are, he never showed any emotional fluctuations, like a cold-blooded creature, radiating a keep out aura. Xiao Zhiwei, Xiao Yebai suddenly reached out and took off his sses. He held the sses with his slender, fair fingers, his eyshes drooping, and spoke in a low voice, Did I tell you that she injured her foot when she slipped in the bathroomst night, fractured her toe, had a splint on it, and couldnt move. Xiao Zhiweis face went pale as if she was losing coloryer byyer. Xiao Yebai continued, word by word, exining, And she was sitting in a wheelchair at the time, at arms length from your bed. Like you said, shes a delicate princess. She doesnt have the strength to push you directly off the bed. A slight breeze blew in from the outside. Xiao Zhiwei felt cold as if waves of chills were hitting her. Even though it was just early September and the sun was shining brightly outside, she couldnt stop trembling, and her heart was beating furiously. Xiao Yebais voice continued to echo in the room, The Mo Family arranged a maid for you, but you drove her away and had her call me saying you had a stomachache and couldnt eat, and tried to persuade me to buy you porridge. Brother, its true my stomach hurts, I really couldnt eat the hospital food Xiao Zhiwei raised her voice to exin, but just as she lifted her eyes to meet his, Without the sses disguise, the mans eyes were deep and dark, with dense eyshes. They were very deep, beautiful, but cold, showing no warmth. He looked straight at her, his gaze sharp and indifferent, as if he could see through peoples hearts. Xiao Zhiwei felt a tightness in her chest, she closed her mouth, unable to speak. If you want to continue to recuperate here, keep your intentions in check, behave yourself, and dont provoke her again. Otherwise, Ill call your parents and have theme to take care of you. No! Afraid, Xiao Zhiwei blurted out, Brother, I beg you, dont tell them, brother Xiao Yebai did not say anything more. He put his sses back on, put his hands back into his pockets, and the elite mans demeanor was restored. Then, he turned around and left. ** Mo Weiyis foot was not seriously scalded, the porridge wasnt that hot, so the skin wasnt broken. After the doctor applied the burn ointment and bandaged the wound, he gave some precautions. Mo Weiyi sat on the hospital bed, looking at both of her small feet wrapped in white bandages, her lips pouting to the sky in anger. Weiyi, did you really get in a fight with that Xiao Zhiwei? Su Wanwan could not resist the curiosity inside her. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, her mood seemed to have eased a bit. After the doctor left, she eventually told the story of what had happened. At the end, she said, Wanwan, I really only pushed her lightly. Su Wanwan nodded, I believe you. Although Mo Weiyi was a bit of a princess, she knew right from wrong when it came to important issues. Having known her for over a decade, unless someone deliberately provoked her, she wouldnt harm someone for no reason. After all, with her kitten-like strength, who could she possibly hurt? Especially when shes injured her foot. But Xiaobai doesnt believe me. This was what upset Mo Weiyi the most. Of course, Su Wanwan knew how much Mo Weiyi cared for Xiaobai, so she immediately said, Weiyi, if your Xiaobai really doesnt believe you, thinking that you pushed him off the bed, then unless hes blind, he must be an idiot! As she spoke passionately, Mo Weiyi was staring nkly behind her as if frozen. Sensing that something was off, Su Wanwan quickly turned around. As expected. The idiot she had mentioned just walked in from outside. Su Wanwan blinked, cursing inwardly. What the hell, howe this guy is just like Huo Jingshen, walking without making a sound? Luckily, Xiao Yebai just nced at her indifferently before picking up his phone and car keys from the coffee table. I have a meeting at thepany. Aunt Jiang, Ill be bothering you with the things here. Even his voice was cold! Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi called out intively. The man paused but didnt turn around, I have an important meeting at 2 oclock. Well talk about other things when I get back. Having said that, he left. Su Wanwan touched her racing heart in relief. Damn it, who was he trying to scare with that poker face? Huo Jingshen was still better; at least he wasnt this cold. She wasnt even aware that she had started to subconsciouslypare other men with Huo Jingshen. And then, as if the idiom speak of the devil, and he shall appear came true, her phone rang. And it was that man who called. Weiyi, Im going to take a call. ** Su Wanwan answered the call in the corridor, Hello. Did Grandma call you? Yeah. Thinking of the bizarre things Mrs. Huo said, Su Wanwan quickly asked, What happened? Nothing much, Huo Jingshen replied casually, I picked up Ziyangst night, and reporters took pictures of us, creating some misunderstandings. I see. So thats why Mrs. Huo kept apologizing!! was awkward. Huo Jingshen changed the topic, Ill pick you up from school tonight. Zhexis parents are back, lets have dinner together. Ah? But I Its settled. Im busy now. Saying so, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone. Damn it! Su Wanwan red at her phone. She had just praised him a moment ago, and now he was being domineering. Indeed, all men are damn chauvinists! * * Huo Yuan Group. As soon as Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, another call from Grandma Huo came in. Grandma. Ah Shen, did you really tell me the truth just now? Mrs. Huo sounded skeptical, I must remind you, if you ever do anything to hurt WanWan, I wont hesitate to punish you myself! Huo Jingshen massaged his temple, sounding helpless, Grandma, I have a meeting soon. Mrs. Huo apparently ignored his words, I specially dug out old photo albums just now. Good Lord, that child looks so much like you. Huo Jingshen: Ah Shen, are you listening to me? That child looks like you He is my friends son, as for why he looks like me, Huo Jingshen calmly spoke his narcissistic thoughts, maybe its because good-looking people tend to look alike. Mrs. Huo was speechless for a moment: Right after hanging up, his phone rang again.. This time, it was from Nangong Ci, Well done, big brother, youve made it to the headlines of the entertainment magazine! Chapter 129 - 129:129, attractive people tend to look similar. Chapter 129:129, attractive people tend to look simr. Trantor: 549690339 , Huo Jingshens brow twitched. He hung up the phone and opened WeChat. As expected, the WJY WeChat group was in chaos. Chu Xiuhuang sent a news link, Big brothers infidelity stole my headline. Nangong Ci said, All the female fans of the Fire Emperor Society must be crying. Brother Fire Emperor hasnt been caught with his girlfriend in a hotel this month? Ming Jing: Wasnt the recent femalepanion beautiful enough? Chu Xiuhuang: Its because the secretarys taste has declined. Nangong Ci: You should urge your secretary to improve the quality of the femalepanions! Its embarrassing! Lu Chenyu: Scumbag. Chu Xiuhuang: Who the hell are you calling a scumbag, Fourth? Lu Chenyu: Heh. Nangong Ci: Somethings wrong with Fourth! Second brother, did you do something against Fourth again? Chu Xiuhuang: Screw you! Ming Jing: Hahahaha. Chu Xiuhuang: ming me for not being able to marry a woman, it seems Im also to me for him being single right? Nangong Ci: We had agreed to be bros before hoes, but it seems like only Fourth is sticking to it. Big brother is busy cheating, second brother is busy changing girlfriends, and Im busy performing surgeries. Ming Jing: I am busy developing new software. Lu Chenyu: Heh. After a few seconds, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message with a smile emoji. Chu Xiuhuang: Shit, big brother is here. Nangong Ci: Big brother must be upset on the inside, but still has to keep a smile on his face. Putting down his phone, Huo Jingshen reached for the inte, Come in. Shortly, the office door opened and Ji Jie rolled in uneasily, President Huo, the meeting room is ready How did you handle that report? Huo Jingshen interrupted impatiently. Ji Jie quickly responded, President Huo, as soon as the report was released this afternoon, I contacted the magazines person in charge. Theyve pulled all the magazines ready for distribution, and enlisted their magazines official Weibo ount to apologize. The intern reporter has been fired, and were working on deleting and screening the online report. The person responsible from the newspaper also wants toe personally deliver an apology this afternoon Huo Jingshen looked at him, indifferent, 1 was asking what you didst night. Ji lies legs wobbled, President Huo, I deleted all the pictures from her camerast night. I didnt expect she had used her phone to take them. You didnt expect? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. That was my negligence at work, I promise it wont happen again Theres a next time? Huo Jingshen raised his other eyebrow too. Ji Jie was on the verge of tears, almost dropping to his knees, President Huo, just say it. Whatever punishment you want. Its all my fault. Please, just put me out of my misery! With each word he uttered, he felt as if he were being meticulously tortured by a cold-hearted demon. His poor heart couldnt take much more. This months sry will be deducted. Your performance next month will determine the consequences, Huo Jingshen stood up after speaking. Go to the meeting room. Thank you, President Huo. After all thismotion, Huo Jingshen, who never camete to work ever since he took office, was remarkablyte for the executive meeting for the first time today. * * The meeting didnt finish until 4 oclock in the afternoon. Huo Jingshen had just returned to his office. Mr. Huo. Ji Jie walked in after knocking on the door, The relevant person in charge of Entertainment Weekly hase. What do you think Send them away. Understood, Mr. Huo. Ji Jie immediately went out to execute the order. Huo Jingshen picked up his phone, sent a message on WeChat, Baby, wait for me at the school. A few secondster, Su Wanwan replied, Come pick me up at Nangong Hospital. Huo Jingshen called immediately, Baby, are you hurt? No. Su Wanwan was confused. Weiyi got hurt, I came here to apany her. Huo Jingshens handsome brows lifted slightly, I thought you got into a fight on your first day at school. At his words, the little girl wasnt pleased,unching a counterattack, What the hell do you mean by that? Do I look like someone who picks fights? Whos the one provoking me every time? So, I cant defend myself when someone hits me or curses at me? Huo Jingshen: Presumably because he had finished all his work and had some spare time, he began to preach, Theres a solution to everything, but if all resolutions depend on violence, that is the behavior of a brute I am a brute! If you despise me, just divorce me! After saying that, she hung up the phone. Huo Jingshen: This girl, dare to hang up on him? This is getting out of line! * * At the hospital. Su Wanwan huffed back into the sickroom. Wanwan, look how cute my turtles are. The emerald one is Xiao Xiaobai, and the ck one is Xiao Baibai. Su Wanwan: Ugly as hell! Mo Weiyi: Her phone dinged, it was a WeChat message from Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen: Do you know the consequences of hanging up on me? Then he added a trademark smile emoji. Whos he trying to scare? Su Wanwan pouted, unimpressed. Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door. Princess. Zhong Kai entered, dressed in a sleek ck suit and wearing a standard smile. Two men, simrly d in suits, followed him carrying arge wooden crate. After setting it down, they both nodded politely to Mo Weiyi as if vassals before their queen. Mo Weiyi blinked her sparkling cat eyes. What brings you here? Princess, this is a gift Mr. Xiao sent us to deliver to you, Zhong Kai politely announced.. Chapter 130 - 130:130, Your Highness the Princess, you really are a genius at naming. Chapter 130:130, Your Highness the Princess, you really are a genius at naming. Trantor: 549690339 A gift? Mo Weiyis eyes sparkled. Did Xiaobai actually send her a gift? What is it? Two little Labradors. The moment she finished speaking, the sound of puppies whining came from the box. Ahhhhhh! Su Wanwan, who was sitting on the sofa, was so scared by the sound that she jumped up screaming. Wanwan, dont be afraid. Theyre puppies, they wont bite. Mo Weiyi stretched out her small hand andmanded, Quick, bring them over to me. Yes, princess. But Su Wenwen picked up her bag and dashed for the door without looking back, Weiyi, Im leaving first. Princess, your friend Its fine, she has cynophobia. said Mo Weiyi, her attention already drawn to the two adorable Labradors. One is white all over, and the other has a bit of yellow pattern. They are newborn puppies, nestled together sleeping with eyes half-closed. They are fluffy and chubby, too cute for words. Did Xiaobai read her mind? She was just looking at cute puppy pictures onlinest night. Mo Weiyi felt her heart melt in an instant. She raised her face and asked with a soft voice, What did Xiaobai tell you? Zhong Kai thought quickly, In reply to your highness, Mr. Xiao told me to buy two puppies, easy to raise and mild-tempered. I think he saw that you were bored by yourself in the hospital room because of your foot injury, so he told me to deliver them here. Mr. Xiao really cares about you, princess. Ive been with him for over two years, and this is the first time Ive seen him prepare a gift for you with such care. He even specifically told me not to reveal it, probably wanting to surprise you He rambled on and on, as long as he was praising Mr. Xiao, he was good. The more he spoke, the happier Mo Weiyi seemed. In the end, she lifted her chin proudly and officially named them, The white one will be called Bai Xiaobai, and the one with the flower color will be called Hua Xiaobai. Zhong Kai: Princess, you are such a genius at naming. I just wonder what Mr. Xiao might think if he knew that his name is so simr to that of the dogs? * * Su Wanwan decided to wait in the coffee shop upstairs as Huo Jingshen should being to pick her up soon. Who would have thought that as she reached the top floor and the elevator doors opened, a pair of white lotus mother and daughter were standing outside. She nced at them and looked away, but they did not seem willing to let her go. Oh, who is this? Su Yanyan exaggeratedly eximed. Su Wanwan walked straight towards the coffee shop, but Su Yanyan walked up to block her way, Su Wanwan, have you no manners? Cant you even greet my mother? Su Wanwan was forced to stop. She looked at Jiang Yi, who were evidently primed to perfection, and said in surprise, So its you, auntie. Youre dressed so ostentatiously, I didnt recognize you. I guess my dad wouldnt dare to im you either right if he saw you? Jiang Yis face froze. What woman doesnt love looking beautiful? Moreover, she had just turned forty, and the color of her dress today was her favoriteke green, which wasnt shy, was it? But Su Wenwensment made her seem like she was immodest. Dad personally drove us over here just now, Su Yanyan, who did not understand, retorted and then continued her sarcastic remarks, In contrast, your husband is party to an affair and even has an illegitimate child. Yet youre still being defiant here. She took out a magazine from her bag, her expression smug, Luckily, I immediately bought a copy just now. In a while, I reckon they will all be confiscated by the Huo family. She had always thought that there was no way a big shot like Huo Jingshen, who came from abroad, could possibly fall for Su Wanwan, someone of such bad repute. The rushed marriage must have had some unspeakable secret behind it! As expected, today the secret was exposed by the magazine. Huo Jingshen had been having an affair and even had a son in the United Kingdom. His marriage to Su Wanwan was probably just for fun. Soon enough, she will be kicked out by the Huo family. Su Wanwan nced at the magazine in her hand. It was the most popr Entertainment Weekly in Nancheng, with the red headline on the cover, Huo Yuans Heir Seen in Airport Picking up Mistress and Illegitimate Child, Is Marriage in Jeopardy? Upon looking at the corresponding picture below, Su Wanwan almost burst outughing. So, they were indeed secretly photographed at the airportst night. The mistress in the picture was Fu Qi, and the so-called illegitimate son was Fu Ziyang. Well, you could only put up a brave front, right? Su Yanyan kept mocking, In a few days, when you get kicked out by the Huo family, I want to see if you can stillugh then! She thought Su Wanwan would fly into a rage out of humiliation, but on the contrary Are you done? If youre done, get lost. Dont block my way. Seeing her nonchnt demeanor, Su Yanyan became suspicious, What are you doing at the hospital today? Isnt it the first day of school today? Shouldnt she be at school? Unless Su Yanyan shrieked, Did you go downstairs to find Yuyun again, you shameless woman? On one hand, you call Yuyun a dog, while on the other hand you try to hook up with him secretly You just called your Yuyun a dog, do you know what I despise the most? Su Wanwan cut her off with a mocking smile, The thing I despise the most is dogs, especially scummy dogs like Xing Yuyun who cant keep it in his pants! How dare you insult Yuyun Yanyan! Jiang Yi pulled on her daughter, suppressing her dislike and trying to cate her, Wanwan, Yanyan is pregnant now.. Cant you be a bit more considerate? Chapter 131 - 131:131, baby has drunk milk tea. Chapter 131:131, baby has drunk milk tea. Trantor: 549690339 If youre pregnant, you need to stop being so dramatic. Arent you afraid of negatively influencing the fetus? After saying this, Su Wanwan let out a coldugh. Right, I should be more considerate of you, so you dont stress the fetus. If you end up being attacked on the off chance that Xing Yuyun takes advantage of another underage girl, it might be more than just a few broken ribs next time. If something happens to his private parts, it could even lead to an end of his bloodline! Seeing the disgusted expressions on the twos faces, Su Wanwan was pleased. She turned and walked into the coffee shop without looking back. Every time she saw this mother-and-daughter, it was always a verbal fight, such a waste of breath. She was thirsty. She needed to quickly get a milk tea to quench her thirst. Su Yanyan was furious, Mom, did you see that? She just cursed me Stop talking. Jiang Yi was overwhelmed with a headache. Lets go downstairs, Dr. Zhou is waiting for us. That damned girl Su Wanwan, her sharp tongue never spared anyone. She was exactly like Ya Jin from back in the days! * * Once they got in the elevator, Su Yanyan bit her lips, suddenly saying, Mom, grandmother talked about me suspending school again when I went to register this morning. Jiang Yi froze. Didnt we agree that itd be fine as long as the driver takes you to school every day? They are worried about the baby. Su Yanyans face was a bit panicked. What am I going to do, mom? Ever since Su Wanwan returned home, Yuyun hasnt touched me, not even on our wedding night. He even slept on the sofa. Now, he was injured and hell be out of town for a job once he recovers. I dont even have a chance to sleep with him. Jiang Yi, naturally knowing what her daughter was worried about, quicklyforted her, Rx. Its normal not to show in the early months of pregnancy. Dr. Zhou is a close friend of mine, shell surely help us keep the secret. But I get asked all sort of questions every time we eat at home. I am afraid sooner orter theyll find out. Su Yanyan toughened up, That bitch Su Wanwan just cursed my baby. I bet she cant wait for me to have a miscarriage. Jiang Yi looked at her daughter, Yanyan, what are you thinking? Mom, I thought of a good n. Su Yanyan covered her mouth and whispered something into Jiang yis ear. Jiang Yi drew in a sharp breath, Yanyan, you cant mess with such things. I have no choice. I need to get a pregnancy test this afternoon, my inws are notfortable, they always have loads to say. If this goes on, theyll suspect me sooner orter. Su Yanyan said, her eyes welling up with tears, Mom, I really thought that it would be easy to get pregnant once married to Yuyun. Even if the timing is off by a month or so, no one will notice. But who knew this would happen What can I do? If I dont do this, Ill be exposed one day! But Su Wanwan practically never goes back to the Su familys home now, and youre living at the Xing Family home. When would you two have the chance to Mom, did you forget? Grandfathers birthday ising up soon. Grandpa Sus seventieth Birthday falls on Teachers day, the 10th of September. Because of his poor health, grandpa didnt want to have a big celebration, but all the younger generation of the Su Family would have to attend. Naturally, this included Su Wanwan. Yanyan, you absolutely must not act rashly. Jiang Yi advised, Last time, you didnt tell me what you were going to do and ended up getting bitten back by her at the wedding. If Mrs. Xing hadnt suddenly fainted and been sent to the hospital, who knows what kind of scandal would have erupted. Even Siqing was hurt by her Shes not the same Su Wanwan from two years ago; plus, she has the Huo Family backing her now. Mom, Huo Jingshen has an illegitimate child. Do you think the Huo Family will still back Su Wanwan? Perhaps because of this, the Huo Family views her in an even worse light. When that happens, wont we kill two birds with one stone? The more Su Yanyan thought about it, the more usible it seemed, Moreover, we also have Dr Zhou, who is a gynaecologist. What is there to be scared of? After we meet Dr. Zhou, tell her beforehand and just gloss over the matter. Isnt it a simple thing? Only the three of us will know, if you dont tell, I wont tell, she wont tell, then who will know? Jiang Yis forehead creased into a frown. Until they reached the eighth floor and the elevator doors opened, she finally said slowly, Let me think about it. * * Six in the evening. Su Wanwan received Huo Jingshens WeChat message and immediately went downstairs. Upon reaching the entrance of the hospital, she saw his ck car parked from afar. Walking over and pulling open the car door, a strong smell of smoke immediately wafted out. Su Wanwan sat in the car, holding her nose andining disdainfully, So annoying, could you smoke less? It stinks of smoke all day long. Are you the reincarnation of a smoking ghost? Cant you have some manners? Huo Jingshen crushed the cigarette in his hand, gave her a sidelong nce, reached out without saying anything and pulled her into his arms. Su Wanwan even struggled feebly for a bit before giving up. What could she do? In any case, she couldnt beat him! In any case, she wasnt stronger than him After he finally let go, he said, Did my baby drink milk tea just now? Su Wanwan could only re at him. What an asshole! His fingers with distinct joints lightly pinched her soft little chin, his voice was low yet threatening, You dare toin about your husband smoking? If you do that again, eachint will result in this kind of punishment. Shameless! Su Wanwan spat out, taking out a makeup mirror from her bag and preparing to touch up her lipstick, but who knew. Chapter 132 - 132:132,1 believe in your evil Chapter 132:132,1 believe in your evil Trantor: 549690339 Help wipe hubbys mouth. Su Wanwan didnt budge, Dont you have hands? Wipe it yourself! Huo Jingshen leaned threateningly close to her, looking dangerous, Are you helping hubby wipe, hmm? Su Wanwan hurriedly shoved him away, Fine, fine, Ill wipe it for you now. Mmph. She really owes him! Resigned, Su Wanwan took out a tissue. Very carefully and meticulously, she wiped off all the red lipstick that had got onto him. Huo Jingshen enjoyed the care from the young girl while he continued to intimidate her, Hung up on me this afternoon and now, dare to disobey? Do you know hubby only has so much patience, hmm? I get it, I get it! Done, go ahead and drive, be good. Su Wanwan patted his shoulder,ughing appeasingly. Huo Jingshen seemed to be very pleased. He squinted his eyes and finally returned to the drivers seat to drive off. Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She now realized that Huo Jingshen was a total child! Noble and elegant, full of grace, pah! Clearly a dude in his thirties but acting like a three-year-old child, always trying to scare her! However, generally in such situations, appeasing him was a better option. Because this man can be coerced but not forced. Hmm. Actually, this was quite simr to herself. * * Forty minutester, they arrived at the Lan Zhuang Club near the West Fourth Ring. They moved through a winding corridor filled with awe-inspiring famous calligraphy and paintings, each one a top-quality piece. Huo Jingshen walked while introducing the guests to the youngdy, There are a total of eight people having dinner tonight Isnt it seven? Zhexis elder brother is back. Huo Zhexis brother? The second son of the Huo Family? He wouldnt be a good-for-nothing like Huo Zhexi, would he? When she entered the private room led by the waiter, Su Wanwan immediately noticed a man sitting on the sofa. It wasnt like she was particrly interested, but In thisvish VIP room, his olive-green uniform was eye-catching. This was the first time shed seen a man in such a unique profession up close, and he was quite handsome. Of course, her husband was handsome enough, as were Xiao Yebai and Chu Xiuhuang, Nangong Ci and others who also had ridiculously good looks, but they werepletely different from the man in front of her. His skin was a healthy wheat colour from long-term training, his face slender, his features pronounced and chiselled, giving him a manly, firm and macho appearance. Wearing a well-tailored olive green uniform, sitting there without any expression, he exuded an intimidating yet heroic aura, as if ready to spring into action. His silence and low profile demanded respect. Huo Jingshen had just mentioned that he was only 28 and used to be in some special forces She was lost in thought when Huo Nuanyang looked up and set his sharp gaze on her. Su Wanwan instinctively grinned at him, but then Hiss! She suddenly felt a pinch on her cheek. Su Wanwan almost shed tears from the pain. Holding her cheek, she cried out in a reproachful tone, Why did you pinch me! It hurts! Huo Jingshen gave her a sideways nce, There was a fly on your face. Could a high-end luxury club like this have flies? Thats unbelievable! Su Wanwan was about to retort when Ashen and Wanwan are here. The voice of Mrs. Huo came from behind. She was assisting the elderly Mr. Huo along with a servant, followed by a sophisticated middle-aged couple. The man should be Huo Zhexis father, Huo Juncheng. He was wearing a dark grey casual suit; tall and serious, his features handsome. A typical face of the men of the Huo family. As for thedy by his side Wow, she was so young! Huo Nuanyang was 28 this year, so the second Madame of the Huo family must be close to fifty, but she looked just like a young girl. Anyone would believe she was only in her thirties! So this is my niece-inw, Wanwan? Madame Huo was also looking at her, her big phoenix eyes as clear as precious gems. She broke into a warm smile. There was not a single wrinkle around her eyes when she smiled! You look so young! Su Wanwan blurted out. This straightforward and unpretentious reaction made Madame Huo initially stunned, then she broke into an even broader smile. Covering her cherry lips, she was about to reply when Of course shes young, shes spent millions on facelift injections, how could she not be young? Everyone: The speaker was Huo Zhexi. He wasing out from the restroom in the suite. It had been more than half a month since Su Wanwan had seen himst, and he hadnt changed much. Still sporting a mboyant shirt, tight jeans, and long hair draped over his eyebrows, with a cocky smirk stered across his face, he gave off a decidedly obnoxious air. The corners of Madame Huos mouth twitched a few times.. Unable to resist, she reached out and pinched her sons ear, You unlucky kid, cant spare your moms image, can you? Chapter 133 - 133:133, Little Money Lover Chapter 133:133, Little Money Lover Trantor: 549690339 Huo Zhexi grumbled, baring his teeth in pain. Dodging andining simultaneously, he said, You and dad have been in Japan for so long that I had no money to spend at home. And youe back just to hit me, with no sign of concern for me at all. What kind of mother are you? Except for asking for money, what else can you do? What kind of son are you? Apart from hitting me, what else can you do? I can beat you! With each mother and son exchanging words, a hugemotion broke out in the room, leaving Su Wanwan dumbfounded, until Are you all done? At the roar of Master Huo, Su Wanwan trembled in fear, and the quarrel between the mother and son finally stopped. By this time, Huo Nuanyang had stood up and was about to intervene, but then he froze Master Huos face was gloomy, and his voice was thundering, After dinner, you two take this troublemaker away. I dont want to see him flitting around me anymore! Okay, dad. Mrs. Huo bowed obediently. Huo Juncheng shook his head secretly and intervened, Alright, Mingzhu just bring out all the gifts. Mingzhu nodded, walked over and picked up two elegant bags from the sofa Wanwan, these are wedding gifts that Juncheng and I brought for you and Ashen. This is skincare I brought you from Japan. Its really good and suitable for all skin types. And this is a new girls handbag from ceilgod. But its pink, not sure if you like this color? Thank you, uncle and aunt. I really like it, Su Wanwan epted smilingly. But surprisingly, the old Mrs. Huo also had gifts. Wanwan, your grandfather and I also prepared two school-opening gifts for you. Oh no. Mingzhu pped her forehead, Sorry, I didnt know it was Wanwans school opening today. Ill make it up to you another day. Huo Zhexi grunted twice, rubbing his ear while sitting next to Huo Nuanyang, When are you nning to go back to the team, second brother Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Nuanyang stood up, picked up the gift boxes and red envelopes on the table, This is my gift. Huo Zhexi. Damn it! Huo Zhexi was fuming. Was this supposed to be the Huo familys banquet? Or was it a gift-giving ceremony for that girl? As for Su Wanwan, she was thrilled to receive a pile of gifts from her elders for no apparent reason. She initially thought she was justing for a meal, but didnt expect to get skincare, jewellery, and designer bags. Especially from Huo Nuanyang, who sent an entire set of Apple products plus a big red envelope! Su Wanwan thought: Apart from Huo Zhexi, the Huo family was really kind to her, especially Huo Nuanyang. The young soldier was so generous, giving her such a thick red envelope, much more generous than that old man Huo Jingshen! So, she enjoyed her dinner particrly well. Despite all the talking by Mrs Huo and the olddy keeping the mood lively, the men remained silent throughout. By the time dinner ended, it was alreadyte. The Huo family left in three cars with the staff helping to put the gifts into the cars. Huo Jingshen then drove Su Wanwan home. Halfway there, Su Wanwan couldnt resist opening the thick red envelope that Huo Nuanyang had given her. Wow, its so thick, how much money could be in it? Huo Jingshen nced at her from the corner of his eye. She was bent over herp, her face almost buried in the red envelope, like a little money-grubber, actually starting to count the money! He coughed softly, his dark eyes looked at the road sign ahead, then made a turn into a narrow, dark alley. Su Wanwan didnt notice until the car suddenly stopped. She looked out the window and asked, Where are we? And then, the light inside the car went out. She was engulfed in darkness. Su Wanwan quickly turned around and asked, What happened? Huo Jingshen didnt answer. In the darkness, he reached forward, and with a click, unbuckled the seatbelt. Next, Su Wanwan felt the car seat tilt backward abruptly. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Stop screaming, Huo Jingshen covered her mouth, I havent even started. Started? Start what? With her mouth covered by his big hand, Su Wanwan could only blink her innocent and simple eyes in confusion. In the darkness, Huo Jingshens low voice rang out again, Are you happy with all the gifts you received today? Unable to speak, Su Wanwan just nodded. Was she happy. Honey, I also have a school-opening gift for you. Do you want it? Su Wanwan kept nodding. Yes! Of course, she wanted the gift! But she was also curious about what he would give her? Another piece of jewelry maybe? The big hand on her mouth loosened, Take it yourself. Huh? Su Wanwan was taken aback * * Imperial Court Vi. In the living room, Fu Qi nced at the wall clock. It was eleven oclock in the night. The servants were off duty, and Fu Ziyang had long since gone to bed. The TV was on but without sound, making the quiet vi seem somewhat eerie. But Huo Jingshen still hadnte back. Today, Su Wanwan went to school. Was it that Huo Jingshen had gone out for entertainment because his wife wasnt at home? She knew that most men, after getting married, would show their true colours. Just like her big brother, Fu Xihan, who wouldnte back home until he was dead drunk, with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes all over his body? And hed been kicked out by his wife, forced to sleep in the guest room multiple times, which she had secretly witnessed. As Fu Qi was lost in her thoughts, the sound of a car engine suddenly rang out. She immediately got up and ran towards the front door. Brother Jingshen, Brother Jing Her next words were abruptly choked in her throat. Thats because the car stopped right at the doorway, Huo Jingshen made his way around the car hood, opened the co-drivers seat, and then lifted Su Wanwan out from there, and moreover carrying her like a princess! Su Wanwan was dressed in the red, patterned dress she wore when she left home in the morning. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, giving her cheeks an adorable rosy hue. Huo Jingshen had one hand supporting her shoulders, and the other supporting the back of her legs. After a seconds nce, Fu Qi quickly turned her gaze away, feeling that a man carrying a woman, especially a woman who was fast asleep, was somehow provocative. Go to sleep early, Ji Jie will pick you up at eight oclock tomorrow to take you to the airport. Huo Jingshens voice echoed. By the time Fu Qi reacted, he had already carried Su Wanwan into the vi. Unable to suppress her curiosity, Fu Qi followed, Brother Jingshen, Brother Jingshen, can I stay a few more days? I want to Fu Qi. Huo Jingshen stopped at the stairs, but did not turn around, and merely said indifferently, You are an adult now, you need to consider appearances. If you insist on staying, move out and live on your own. However, in that case, I cant guarantee your safety to Xihan. With that, he went straight upstairs. Fu Qi stood there, her fingers tightly clenched. Was he implying that her stay here would affect their marital rtionship? Did he like Su Wanwan that much? Was he worried that she would get the wrong idea? * * Upon reaching the upstairs, Huo Jingshen just managed to settle Su Wanwan into a bath full of warm water when a mobile phone ringtone sounded from outside. He returned to the bedroom, picked up his phone and nced at it. Ye Qitian? With a slight frown, the handsome and mature man stood there, dexterously dialling a few numbers with his slender fingers, he silenced the phone and then tossed it back. Sometimes, a silent refusal can be far more effective than any verbal threat. * * Nangong Hospital. In the ward, Mo Weiyi put down her phone. Aunt Jiang had gone home, and she was the only human in the ward, along with four silent animals. Xiao Bai hadnt finished work yet, she didnt dare sleep alone, so she tried to call Su Wanwan to chat, but was consistently told that the other line was busy? That damned girl, who on earth was she chatting with in the middle of the night? Didnt Mr. Huo keep a check on her? Mo Weiyiy down on the hospital bed in annoyance. Unable to resist, she picked up her phone again and opened WeChat. Xiao Yebai still hadnt replied to the message she had sent half an hour ago. Xiao Bai was probably busy with work, wasnt he? Every time he got busy with work, he was like a workaholic. Was stayingte in the office his normal routine? He wouldnt have forgotten to eat dinner, would he? So Mo Weiyiy there, looking at her phone, fretting, and eventually, toote in the night and unable to fend off sleepiness, she gradually drifted off to sleep. She didnt know how long it was before she heard a rustling sound reaching her ears.. Chapter 134 - 134:134, you are just the adopted son of our Mo Family. Chapter 134:134, you are just the adopted son of our Mo Family. Trantor: 549690339 In her daze, her first reaction was that Xiao Yebai had returned. Forcing herself to fight off the urge to sleep, she strenuously opened her eyes. The ward was dark, lit only by a small floormp. She saw the door cracked open as the hallway light poured in, with a small white shadow standing in front of her bed. Mo Weiyi felt a jolt of shock, every hair on her body standing on end. As the small shadow suddenly moved, she opened her mouth and let out an uncontroble, hysterical shriek. Ahhhhhhhhhhh * * Mo Familys new resort investment was set to hold a press conference the next day, but before the end of work, it was discovered that Huangyou, at their afternoon conference, had chosen the exact same concept as the Mo Family right down to the copy, logo, and even stage design. Huangyou is Chu Xiuhuangs investmentpany that had recently invested in a resort project under Huo Yuans real estatepany. The thing most frowned upon in the business world ispetition between simr projects, let alone such tant giarism. Xiao Yebai didnt have time to specte whether this was an intentional maniption issue because of time constraints, so he had to urgently call a high-level meeting to quickly develop a contingency n. At midnight, Zhong Kai entered the CEOs office, President Xiao, the operations department has chosen n B from among several alternatives. This will require only minor changes to the stage design, which can be adjusted on site tomorrow. He handed in the documents one by one, This is the supplementary budget for this incident, this is the legal departments advice on suing Huangyou and Huo Yuan, and thisst one includes media reports on giarism allegations. Having reported everything, Zhong Kai stood there, as if wanting to say something more. The man lifted his eyelid, Any other problems? President Xiao, Zhong Kai dared to speak, Its gettingte, and since most of the issues have been dealt with, you should go home and rest. Understood. Seeing the man return to his work, Zhong Kai, unable to restrain himself, gave a straightforward reminder, President Xiao, the princess is really happy with the two little dogs. What dogs? President Xiao? Zhong Kai looked incredulous, Didnt you let me buy the dogs for the princess? I chose two Labrador puppies. The princess is thrilled, naming one Bai Xiaobai, and the other one The mans gaze turned cold, winnering up Zhong Kai. He promptly shut up. Several secondster. Pass on my orders, finish up the routine tasks and then you can call it a day. Yes, President Xiao. Once Zhong Kai left, Xiao Yebai just opened the documents and his phone rang from the side. It was a call from Mo Yaoxiong, his voice stern, Yebai,e to the hospital as soon as you are done with work. What happened? Weiyi fell off the bed, and Grandpa is furious. Then the call ended. Xiao Yebai immediately picked up his personal phone from the side. To avoid distractions during urgent work, he would always put this phone on silent. Sure enough, as he turned it on, he saw several missed calls, from Mo Weiyi, Mo Yaoxiong, and a few from unknown numbers. He quickly got up, grabbed his car keys, and left. ** It was past one oclock in the morning when he arrived at the hospital. Just as he entered the hospital building, the butler from the Mos mansion, Shi Bo, came over, Thank God, Young Master Xiao, youre finally here. Hows Weiyi doing? Xiao Yebai asked as they walked. Butler Shi Bo said, A child staying in the hospital suddenly ran into the princesss ward, frightening her enough to fall off the bed. It was the hospital that called the mansion, and the old master was very angry. Youd better apologize quickly when you see him, I cant keep him calm. Understood. Arriving at the ward on the top floor, as the elevator doors opened, the old master of the Mo Family was being supported by a servant outside of the room. Their eyes met, Xiao Yebai greeted him softly, Grandfather. The old master of the Mo family held his dragon-headed cane, his elderly but still sharp eyes full of anger, I thought you werent going to show up until dawn. Xiao Yebai hung his head low, Its my fault. Is this how you treat my precious granddaughter whom I married off to you? Its my fault. Just as he finished repeating the same phrase, a pnded on Xiao Yebais face. His sses were knocked off and fell to the ground with a crack, the lenses shattered. His face turned to one side from the p, his pale and handsome cheek quickly showing a blue handprint. Old Master, Young Master Xiao is very worried about the princesss fall Shut up! Shi Bo lowered his head, not daring to speak again. You concealed the news of my granddaughters injury, left her alone in the ward without anyone to look after her, the hospital couldnt reach you by phone and had to call the mansion, leaving an old man like me to rush over in the middle of the night. Do you have anything to say for yourself? Xiao Yebai slowly turned his face. Even though he was publicly humiliated, he still kept his expression calm, showing no signs of embarrassment or panic. Its my fault. He repeated the same sentence. The old master of the Mo family was furious, he swiftly raised his hand and pped him again. Dad. Mo Yaoxiong came out from the ward and shouted when he saw what was going on. The old master of the Mo family red at him, filled with a strong warning, Remember, you are just an adopted child of our Mo family. Your existence and value lies in pleasing Weiyi. I only married her to you because she likes you, and Mo Family only entrusted you with the responsibility because of that. Compared to my granddaughter, thepany is just an essory.. If my granddaughter is unhappy, I can make you lose everything you have in an instant! Chapter 135 - 135:135, Weiyi: I always listen to Xiaobai! Chapter 135:135, Weiyi: I always listen to Xiaobai! Trantor: 549690339 I The elderly master of the Mo family wore a stern expression, emanating a thick warning, Remember, youre merely an adopted son of our Mo family. The significance of your existence and your value is to pacify Weiyi. Its only because she likes you that I allowed her to marry you and let the Mo family trust you. Compared to my granddaughter, thepany is just a subsidiary. If my granddaughter isnt happy, I can strip you of everything you have in an instant! Xiao Yebai stood there, handsome and reserved, his brows furrowed in coldness. Even after hearing these words, his expression remained unchanged. Remember what I said tonight. If something like todays incident happens again, even if my granddaughter likes you, I wont be so polite to you! Father, its gettingte. Lets go back, Mo Yaoxiong timely intervened. The elder inhaled deeply, with the aid of the servants, he entered the elevator. When the elevator door closed, the old mans face still wore a heavy look. It was clear. Because his beloved granddaughter was frightened and severely injured this time, he was genuinely angry. Even when he was extremely angry previously, he wouldnt resort to physical violence. Mo Yaoxiong exhaled in silence. Turning around, he looked at the still silent young man before him. His eyes flickered withplex emotions. It happened swiftly. Gone in a blink of an eye. Then, he said, I already exined thepanys matter tonight to father, but Weiyi was scared. She had to be sedated to sleep. Thats why hes so angry. You must also know that Weiyis mother suddenly went crazy and invaded her room in the middle of the night. Since then, she has been afraid to sleep alone I apologize, its my fault, Xiao Yebais clear, cold voice responded, Starting tomorrow, I will No need, you should focus on your work. For the hospital, father has already dispatched Rong An to keep watch. Tomorrow, I will send two more servants here. Rong An was one of the bodyguards of the Mo family. He was in charge of Weiyis security and was transferred back to the mansion after her marriage, citing the need for privacy. Xiao Yebai nodded. With a ding sound, the elevator at the other end arrived. Im going ahead. Rest early and dont forget to attend the press conference tomorrow. Alright. Mo Yaoxiong looked at him, his gaze weighted with implications. In the end, he turned and entered the elevator. After the elevator door closed, Xiao Yebai still stood there, maintaining his original posture. The corridor lights swept across his head, casting a shadow against his cold outline. After an unknown period, hezily lifted his eyelids and looked at the shattered sses not far from his feet. The lens was broken, and a part of the frame was missing. His thin lips curved mockingly, an undercurrent seemed to churn in his eyes. ** Mo Weiyi had a nightmare. She dreamt her mother, with disheveled hair and a white dress, rushing into her room, clutching her shoulders and screaming, Weiyi, your father is so cruel, so heartless. Hes a liar, a liar, Weiyi, I will take you away, Weiyi Mom, dont, mom Weiyi tried desperately to push her away. She was married now, she had left that old house, so why was her mother still searching for her Weiyi, Weiyi, Weiyi! Finally, Weiyi opened her eyes. Seeing the familiar handsome face, she instantly rushed towards him, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, Im scared Its okay, Im here. Xiao Yebai raised his hand and patted her delicate shoulder. Weiyi buried her face deeply in his chest, her voice still trembling, Last night, I clearly saw her It was an illusion. The mans deep and calm voice carried a strong soothing power, That wasnt your mother, just a child who sneaked in because the door to the ward wasnt closed properly. Enveloped by the familiar soothing fragrance, Weiyi was able to quell her anxiety slowly. Then she looked up at him with innocent and aggrieved eyes, Were you angry with me yesterday? I called but you didnt answer, you didnte back to apany me tillte, I had left the door open so you could get in. It was my fault yesterday. I should have asked a servant to apany you. Xiao Yebais admission of fault made Weiyi even more ufortable. Now, she hurriedly exins, Xiaobai, I didnt mean to push your sister. I know she had just miscarried and I would never use that much force. She provoked me first and tried to push me, so I Im aware, thats in the past now. Xiao Yebais voice was indifferent. So, youre not ming me? I am. Weiyi was taken aback. Xiao Yebai said seriously, Your foot still hasnt recovered. You shouldnt have impulsively gone down to confront her. Im sorry. Weiyi immediately apologized. I bought porridge for her yesterday on my way. Looking at his indifferent yet elegant face, Weiyi couldnt help but muster courage and ask, And your phone I didnt lose my phone, I discovered itter. Weiyi felt a ripple of excitement she couldnt suppress in her heart. She hugged his arm, her voice soft, Then youre not allowed to hide anything from me anymore. I thought you lied to me. I was very unhappy yesterday. Okay. Xiao Yebai responded neutrally, She wont bother you again. You also behave well. Dont go looking for her. Okie dokie. Weiyi lifted her chin, then snuggled her face into his chest, Ill listen to Xiaobai. Good. Xiao Yebai stroked her soft hair, his thin lips seemingly curved into a faint smile.. Chapter 136 - 136:136, where is my red envelope? Chapter 136:136, where is my red envelope? Trantor: 549690339 I After breakfast, Xiao Yebai checked the time, I have to attend a press conference, Ille back to be with you when its finished. Okay. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Mo Weiyi was behaving exceptionally well, Just go, dont let me hold you back from work. If anything happens, let Rong An know. Aunt Jiang wille to keep youpanyter. After Xiao Yebai finished speaking, just as he picked up his car keys, the sound of chatter could be heard outside the door. Soon, Rong Ans voice arrived, Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai went out and closed the door behind him. In the corridor, Rong An, dressed in a ck suit, was standing there. By his side stood a young couple with a child who seemed like 7 or 8 years old. As soon as the husband spotted Xiao Yebai, he immediately said, Im sorry, Mr. Xiao. The events ofst night were all because of my sons mischief. He sneaked into Miss Mos ward because of his yful nature and ended up scaring her and even hurting her leg. Ive already scolded him. We especially brought him here to apologize to Miss Mo. Were really sorry. He only learned about the matter when he arrived at the hospital this morning. Although the incident happened at night and the Mo family did not pursue it, he could not afford to be lucky and immediately brought his son to apologize. His wife also quickly exined, My son likes puppies a lot, so he barged into the room when he heard that theres a puppy in there. However, he ended up scaring Miss Mo Were really sorry for this. Li Lei, quickly apologize to Uncle. The child named LeiLei seemed to have cried, his eyes were red and there were tear marks on his face. Responding to his parentsmand, he immediately started apologizing, Uncle, Im sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. Xiao Yebai looked at the child, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, Which sister told you there is a puppy in this room? Upon hearing this, Rong Ans expression twitched slightly. Not uncle, not aunt, but directly asking for sister? LeiLei touched his head and blinked his eyes, trying carefully to recall. But probably because he was frightened, he stuttered for a long time and couldnt give a specific answer. It must have been the nurse. His wife jumped in, My son is still young. He is really just yful and didnt mean to scare anyone. Mr. Xiao, please try to understand I understand. Xiao Yebai said expressionlessly, you may go now. Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Thank you, Mr. Xiao. The couple was overjoyed. They thanked him repeatedly and quickly left with their child. Quietness returned to the corridor. A momentter. Rong An. Rong An stepped forward, Master Xiao. Go to the security department and check the surveince footage forst night, especially for Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, and the words slowly fell from his lips, the 21st floor. I understand. * * After Su Wanwan woke up, she found that her phone was out of battery. Then she remembered being tortured in the carst night until she fainted That damn bastard! She walked over to grab her bag and discovered that the red packet was still inside. However, upon touching it Damn it! Where did the money go? She quickly dressed and rushed downstairs. Ji Jie was sitting on the living room sofa. When he saw her, he immediately stood up and gave her a 90-degree bow, Good morning, madam! Morning. Su Wanwan just said hello and hurriedly rushed to the open-n dining room, Huo Jingshen, you bastard At the table, Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang looked up at her. As for the bastard in question, sitting there in a clean white shirt, leisurely drinking his coffee. He elegantly set down his cup, his voice was deep and calm, Come have breakfast. Since there were outsiders present, Su Wanwan naturally restrained herself, swallowed the bastard word, and sat down next to Fu Ziyang. Huo Jingshen didnt say a word. Fu Ziyang remained silent and calm. Fu Qi seemed to be in a bad mood. He had a cold look on his face the whole time as they finished their breakfast in an eerily quiet atmosphere. Fu Qi, take Ji Jies car to the airport. Ziyang, Ill take you to school first. Uncle Huo, I can take the bus by myself. The little boy made a serious proposal. Huo Jingshen curled his lips, I will take you onest time today. From tomorrow, I will arrange a personal driver for you. Alright then. Fu Ziyang didnt insist and slipped off from the chair. When all the muggles left, Su WanWan immediately stepped forward and grabbed the mans arm, Bastard, where is my red packet! What red packet? Huo Jingshen arched one brow. His neat and proud eyes seemed like they needed a good p. Su Wanwan was filled with righteous indignation, The red packet that your brother gave me! I clearly put it in my bagst night. Did you take all the money? Give it back now! Thats my money! With that, she stretched out a little hand wanting the money back. However, Huo Jingshen grabbed her hand directly, his tone scoffing, Your money? Yeah, the money your brother gave me. Isnt it my money? Huo Jingshen gave a small smile, Baby, you totally belong to me, so your money is my money. Su Wanwans eyes widened in shock, Oh god, do you have any shame? As the CEO of a major corporation, are you really embezzling my small piece of red packet money? Righteously, Huo Jingshen responded, Baby, youre still studying, you cant be spendthrifty. After saying that, he sauntered over to the fridge, picked up the ck wallet sitting on top, and pulled out several hundred-yuan bills from it. 1000, do you want it? Su Wanwan was livid, Cant you give a little bit more? Chapter 137 - 137:137, even a mosquito’s leg is meat. Chapter 137:137, even a mosquitos leg is meat. Trantor: 549690339 | Every time its only 1000 or 2000, Su Yuntang is even more generous than him! Huo Jingshen acted like he would take the money back, Su Wanwan panicked, without a shred of dignity ran over, I want it, I want it. Even a mosquitos leg is meat. She snatched the money back, but Huo Jingshen arrogantly began, If your husband gives you money to spend, shouldnt you do something in return? Su Wanwan red at him, Isnt it natural for a husband to give his wife money? Besides, its not a big deal. Huo Jingshen squinted, then looked at her leisurely, pointing to his lips, One kiss, extra 1000. Who would have known, Su Wanwan looks insulted, I cannot be corrupted by wealth! Huo Jingshen:acting quite noble now, are we? The next second. Unless you give me 10,000! Su Wanwan shot for the stars. Oh, the taste of money was rather sweet. Huo Jingshen once again: Su Wanwan saw his stingy expression, concluded he wouldnt agree and was about to leave when suddenly her hand was pulled back. When sudden footsteps echoed outside, she got frightened and hurriedly tried to push him away, Someonesing Her hands were grabbed and moved behind her back, and she was soon held in a different position. Su Wanwan was incredibly nervous, until the sound of footsteps came closer, the arms that were tightly wrapped around her suddenly loosened. His slender fingers pinched her chin, Huo Jingshens expression was incredibly calm, Old enough to be an adult, yet making a five-year-old kid wait? Such a good girl, go up and get your school bag for school. Su Wanwan: She was utterly overwhelmed by his ability to suddenly act dead serious. And also What schoolbag? Im a university student! Su Wanwanined heartily, but Aunt Liu had already walked into the dining room, seemed not to notice anything unusual, calmly tidying up the dishes on the table. Her face flushed, she could only lower her head and quickly scampered off. * * Whether Fu Qi liked it or not, he eventually had to get into Ji Jies car and head to the airport. Perhaps because the troublesome person finally left, Su Wanwans mood suddenly lifted. Huo Jingshen drove Fu Ziyang to school first. The Wellington School the littleds at is the most prestigious institution in Nancheng, reached there, Su Wanwan noticed many childrens parents personally drop them off at the gate. When Huo Jingshen got out of the car, she immediately followed. Uncle Huo, Aunt Wanwan, goodbye. Dressed in the school uniform, Fu Ziyang waved at them. You have to admit, thed is incredibly handsome. Though only five, his features were perfectly crafted, better looking than many child stars on the screen, plus that calm demeanor, he has a mature temperament at such a young age. A striking contrast to the yful kids around him. Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang! A chubby little girl suddenly lunged over, Fu Ziyang, are these your parents? Fu Ziyang gave her a brief look, No. Having said that, he turned around and headed towards the campus. Fu Ziyang, Fu Ziyang wait for me! The chubby little girl quickly chased after him. Su Wanwan was taken aback. Wow, being this cold to the girls at just five? Unbelievable. Get in the car. Oh. Su Wanwan quickly turned around. Once in the car, as she buckled in her seatbelt, she said, The curriculum here is different from home, for which I need to attend audited sses for freshmen and sophomores this semester. Okay. Huo Jingshen answered and started driving. Su Wanwan sneaked a nce at him. He was focused on the road ahead, one hand on the wheel, his profile conveying a cold and deep persona, his emotions inscrutable. She coughed discreetly and formally proposed, Which is why, Im considering living in the dorm, to catch up on the previously missed lectures. Having not expected Huo Jingshen to agree instantly, she was nning to justify further Okay. Su Wanwans eyes widened. Holy crap! He actually agreed without hesitation? This is unusually suspicious! Huo Jingshen added, Once Ji Jie is back from dropping off Fu Qi, I will have him move your things to South University. Not only did he agree to let her live in the dormitory, but he was also willing to help her move? Could he be Su Wanwans mind was aflutter From shock! She cautiously asked, Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Just as the traffic light turned red, Huo Jingshen stopped the car and turned to look at her. With a slight curve of his lips, a gentle lift of his eyebrows, and sparkling eyes that were flirty, his voice was soft and teasing, Youre my wife, and its only right for a husband to be nice to his wife. However, Su Wanwan felt no stir of excitement, but instead, deep inside her, a sense of unease grew. Perhapsst nights encounter in the car was too stimting. Now, even seeing him smile gave her the creepsawkward. * * Upon reaching the school and letting Su Wanwan off, Huo Jingshen drove away. Su Wanwan went straight to her dorm. As it was still early, the other three girls in the dorm were preparing for their sses. Upon seeing Su Wanwan, Lin Qiao was the first to speak, albeit with a sharp tone, Su Wanwan, could you let us know in advance if youre noting back to sleep? Whats wrong? The dormitory manager checks the rooms every night. We know you like to stay out all night, probably messing around, but not saying a word about it every time is really poor manners, isnt it? Lin Qiao said impatiently. Clearly, she had manyints about Su Wanwan. The other two girls cast her a few extra nces upon hearing these words. Their looks seemed to say: Wow, she loves to stay out all night, she must be fooling around with some guy! Su Wanwan raised her eyebrow, Alright, I got it. Today was her first day at boarding school, she didnt want to start unnecessary conflicts with these girls, especially since ss was about to begin. As for Lin Qiao, her expression instantly turned into one of surprise. Back in high school, if she had said something like that, Su Wanwan would have started a fight, but now She didnt even retort? Like punching into cotton, Lin Qiao felt frustrated but could do nothing about it. She grabbed her textbooks, Im off to ss. Lets go together. The other two girls quickly followed. Su Wanwan went to her desk and checked her sses for the day. As a third-year student, her sses were less intense. Most of the previous semester was filled withpulsory and workshop-based sses. She had only two English sses this morning, from nine-thirty till eleven-thirty. Su Wanwan quickly prepared her ss materials and quickly left the dorm. Not being familiar with the schoolyout, she wasted ten minutes looking for the lecture building. When she finally found the ssroom, the bell for the start of ss rang. She rushed towards it, nearly colliding with a male student exiting the ssroom. Sorry, didnt hit you, did I? The boys voice was rather pleasant, clear, crisp, and filled with the youthful energy that was unique to boys his age. Its fine. Su Wanwan didnt even look at him and quickly entered the ssroom. The male student looked as if he had lost his soul. He stood still for a few seconds before turning away and leaving. 10 minutester, a serious and conservative female professor walked into the ssroom, followed by that male student. Jiang Shuhao, can you help me distribute the printed materials to everyone? Jiang Shuhao? Isnt that? Su Wanwan then took a good look at him. He was wearing a white polo shirt paired with light grey casual pants. He was about 1.8 meters tall, slender, with fair skin, and striking features. He was the epitome of a university heartthrob, no wonder Lin Qiao was so intent on being hostile towards her. The materials were passed forward. Su Wanwan, who was seated in thest row, received the materials handed back by the student in front of her just when the teacher started speaking. Today is the first English lesson in your third year, and I hope you all strive hard. We aim to get our certificates by the end of this semester. Now, lets start with the roll call. Zhou Guohua. Present. Wang Liya. Present. Liu Pingping. Present. Last one. Su Wanwan. Present. The female professor lifted her head to look at Su Wanwan, who was sitting in thest row. Everyones gaze in the ssroom directed towards the rear. Suddenly, one of the boys asked, Isnt this the new girl in our ss? Wow, shes a beauty! someone echoed. Then followed. Shes so pretty! Is she a celebrity? Looks like were going to have a new ss flower. I think she can even take on the universitys beauty queen! Hearing this astonished chatter, Lin Qiaos face went flush with indignation. Was Su Wanwan going to steal her spotlight on the very first day? Its just a ss, yet shes wearing such an exquisite dress, with her lips painted red. Shes dressed like a fox spirit, talk about being high-profile! Filled with resentment, she looked away, only to find her boyfriend, who was sitting beside her, looking at Su Wanwan with a smile. Chapter 138 - 138:138, teach that little slut a lesson! Chapter 138:138, teach that little slut a lesson! Trantor: 549690339 After taking roll call, the ss officially started. In truth, college sses tend to be rather rxed. Even in Nancheng, the highest-ranking institution, more than half of the students are spending ss messing around or doing other things. Su Wanwan had also picked up her cell phone, and upon turning it on, she received several messages from Ye Qitian: Little junior sister, how could you,cking a conscience, not answer my calls? Why didnt I find you at the driving school? If you dont reply to my messages, Im going to report you to the police! Su Wanwan was speechless, but had just typed a few characters Professor, let the new student read. Upon hearing Lin Qiao calling her name, Su Wanwan was stunned. The female professors voice had already sounded, Okay, let the new student help us by reading this English article. Lets wee her. Wee, new student! Lin Qiao led the apuse, her face full of anticipation for Su Wanwans awkward moment. Driven by her, the ssroom burst into thunderous apuse, and some of the boys even started cheering. Left with no choice, Su Wanwan could only stand up and walk towards the podium. However, as she passed Lin Qiao, something tripped her. She stumbled, and her body lurched forward. At the critical moment, Su Wanwan quickly grabbed the corner of a table. The desk grated across the cement floor, making a piercing sound. She finally steadied herself and saved herself from a public fall. Still, her posture seemed a little embarrassed. Lin Qiao couldnt help but giggle, herughter filled with a sense of victory. Su Wanwan, try not to wear high heels during ss, the professor warned. At thisment, the entire ssroom burst intoughter. Su Wanwan even heard some girls discussing: What was she thinking showing off like this, now its her awkward moment! Im dying ofughter, why didnt she fall? It wouldve been thrilling if she fell t on her face and had a wardrobe malfunction. II II Su Wanwan slowly straightened herself up. To cover the hickey left by someone on her corbone, she specially put on a high-cored dress today. The design was half-sleeved and the hem was long, the purple print fabric, inparison to the casual dress of the other girls, indeed seemed overly showy. At this moment, she tugged slightly at her dress, standing there with an expressionless face, her eyes cold, creating quite an aura of elegance and coolness. She then looked at Lin Qiao, her tone slightly scoffing, Two years have passed, and youre still as immature as ever! Having said that, she walked straight onto the stage. Lin Qiao sat there, feigning calm, but when Su Wanwan began reading in English, she could no longer keep herposure. Because her original intention was for Su Wanwan to embarrass herself in public! Everyone knew that back in high school, Su Wanwan was just a little bad girl, whose exam scores never exceeded three digits and only partied or fought every day. Even if she had been overseas for two years, how could she change? The environment was so open over there, she would certainly have been too busy messing around with foreigners to care about studying. Lin Qiao had thought Su Wanwan would stutter and would let all the boys in the ss clearly see that this woman, no matter how beautiful, is just a vase, how could they crown her as the departments beauty? But, she never ever expected That Su Wanwan could read so fluently! And in such fluent American English! Her voice was clear, her pronunciation was clear, and she had a hint of the local Nancheng ent. As she finished reading, some boys even apuded approvingly, and even the traditionally stern and picky female professor kept nodding her head. Su Wanwan, you read very well, and your pronunciation is very standard. Su Wanwan smiled, put down the textbook, and stepped down from the podium. This time she was careful. Sure enough, when she got to Lin Qiaos side again, that foot sneaked out stealthily. Su Wanwan shed a cold smile in her eyes. She thought she could use such a crude trick twice? Did she actually think Su Wanwan was an unsuspecting ditz? Su Wanwan calmly walked forward without making a sound, and when she reached her, without saying a word, she stomped hard on her foot. Ah! In that instant, Lin Qiao let out a piercing scream. What happened? Jian Shuhao on the side asked. All the other students also turned to see. This ssmate. Without waiting for Lin Qiao to say anything, Su Wanwan beat her to it, This is a ssroom, not your dance studio for practicing splits. Are you a crab? Why is your foot all the way in the aisle? Lin Qiao used right away, Su Wanwan, why did you purposely step on me? She was wearing open-top t sandals today, and Su Wanwan was wearing a pair of high heels. Su Wanwans stomp was quite forceful, there was swelling on Lin Qiaos foot, and she even scraped the skin. How could Lin Qiao stand it? With their confrontation starting, Su Wanwan shot back, Didnt you just try to trip me like that? You tried to do it again, but when you failed, you yed victim. Are you stupid, or do you think were all stupid? Everyone saw you stepping on my foot. You obviously did it on purpose Isnt there a CCTV in this ssroom? Su Wanwans casual remark made Lin Qiao immediately anxious and she hurriedly looked towards the wall. There isnt one! Look at how scared you are, youve got a guilty conscience, dont you? Su Wanwan immediately retorted. The ssroom burst into uproar. Lin Qiao was anxiously angry and was about to retort Silence! This is a ssroom! If you have something to say, wait until after ss. Especially you two, if you want to cause a scene, get out! The female professor hit the table, her voice stern. Su Wanwan smiled faintly, disregarding Lin Qiaos murderous gaze, and elegantly returned to her seat. What a nuisance! She finally dressed like a little fairy for once, but there are always these annoying people pushing her to curse.. Chapter 139 - 139:139, Secretly in Love with the Campus Hunk Chapter 139:139, Secretly in Love with the Campus Hunk Trantor: 549690339 | Soon, the ss ended. Lin Qiao was not satisfied and was about to confront Su Wanwan again when Jian Shuhao spoke. Qiao Qiao, why are you targeting Su Wanwan? Lin Qiao widened her eyes in surprise. What do you mean by that? Regardless, dont do this kind of thing again, its childish. After Jian Shuhao finished speaking, he got up and left. This was the first time she had ever seen her boyfriend angry after knowing him for so long. Lin Qiaos heart was racing, and she quickly got up to chase after him. At that time, Su Wanwan was in the hallway replying to Ye Qitians text message when he called her directly. Little junior sister, lets go on a date tomorrow. I just started school, I have makeup sses and have to prepare for a road test in a few days. Come on, I never saw you take things so seriously before. Which university? Ill drive you there tomorrow. No need Hold on, the director is discussing the script with me. Gotta go, see you tomorrow. After she hung up the phone, Su Wanwan was bewildered. Was Ye Qitian really off to make a movie? He wasnt just joking? Are standards in the entertainment industry so low these days? Su Wanwan. A clear and pleasing voice sounded behind her. Su Wanwan turned around. Jian Shuhao? Whats up? So it really is you. Jian Shuhaos smiled warmly. When I bumped into you at the ssroom door earlier, I didnt dare recognize you. Have you been okay these past two years? Su Wanwanughed awkwardly, Pretty good. I heard from the teacher that you transferred suddenly. Feel free to ask me anything regarding your studies; Im the ss representative. Theres a ss representative in college? Su Wanwan continued tough awkwardly, Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldnt want to cause another misunderstanding with your girlfriend. Thats just how Qiao Qiao is, I just scolded her. Jian Shuhao looked a little awkward, Su Wanwan, actually its all my fault. I didnt know back then that you had a crush on me. Su Wanwan blinked rapidly, What? I had a crush on you? Holy hell, when did I have a crush on this pretty-boy? Jian Shuhao nodded, his tone somewhat regretful, If I had known earlier, we might be Her phone rang again just as Su Wanwan interrupted him, There are no its and buts, there must be some misunderstanding. I have to take this call. Jian Shuhao frowned, seemingly wanting to say something else, but the bell for ss rang. He said, Then Ill go first. Su Wanwan answered the phone, Yes? Madam, this is Ji Jie. Mr. Huo said you can call me to help with your move anytime. Su Wanwan responded without much thought, You can go straight to the Imperial Court. Ill be back after ss. Alright, goodbye Madam. ** After ss, Su Wanwan went back to the Imperial Court and quickly packed a suitcase. When she reached the lobby, Ji Jie immediately took the luggage, Madam, please leave these things to me. Su Wanwan casually asked, Has Miss Fu returned to the United Kingdom yet? Yes, rest assured Madam. I personally drove Miss Fu to the airport and watched her board the ne. There wont be any problems. Su Wanwan coughed twice, Was I worried? Had she made it that obvious? Ji Jie gave a knowing smile, That was my mistake, I shouldnt assume. Su Wanwan: Forget it. Once in the car, the drive was smooth. Upon reaching South University, Ji Jie, pulling the suitcase, followed Su Wanwan into the girls dormitory. just as they reached the entrance, Ji Jie abruptly stopped and the dormitorys manager appeared with a key. Mr. Ji, right? Room 109, follow me. Su Wanwan was stunned. Im in room 508. Theres something you dont know, Madam. Ji Jie exined with a smile, Mr. Huo specifically arranged for you to have afortable single room. Ill move your luggage over first and then move your things from the dorm. A single room? Has that jerk changed his personality? Why is he treating her so well all of a sudden? Su Wanwan was starting to feel overwhelmed. Living alone might be for the best considering her conflict with Lin Qiao that morning. Its better to avoid constant squabbling. Better to avoid trouble. The new dormitory was in the graduate building. The other upants were all graduate students of the school or exchange students from overseas. They all either had single rooms or double rooms. Indeed the room was quitefortable. The single bed was quiterge, big enough for two people, and it even had its own washing room and a small balcony. All the electrical appliances were avable. Thinking about being able to cook instant noodles with her own pot made Su Wanwan start to daydream. Oh right, once Weiyi is feeling better, she could invite her toe live with her. After settling the suitcase, Su Wanwan was about to take Ji Jie to Room 508 to pick up her belongings. At the door, she made sure to remind him, Once we get in, dont call me Madam. Understood! And dont call yourself the lowly one. The lowly one I mean, I understand. Only then did Su Wanwan feel confident to knock and enter the dormitory. Lin Qiao was sitting at her desk watching a Korean drama. The foot she had hurt was raised high with a band-aid on it. The moment she saw Su Wanwan, her eyes bulged in anger and she was about to m her hand on the table and explode Goddess, may Ie in? Ji lies fawning voice sounded. Su Wanwans mouth twitched at the corners. The other three girls in the dormitory were equally astonished. What era is this? There are still men who call women goddess! Chapter 140 - 140:140, how well does your husband treat you? Chapter 140:140, how well does your husband treat you? Trantor: 549690339 As soon as they finished packing and left, the dorm room exploded with chatter. Girl A: Is that Su Wanwans boyfriend? Girl B: No way, hes such a country bumpkin, calling his girlfriend a goddess? Lin Qiao sneered, Hes one of her suitors. Girl A: Hes so unattractive, Su Wanwan would never go for him! Lin Qiao sneered again, What do you know? Hes just a toy for her, useful when needed, kicked aside when not. Ive known her for five years, shes always been a cunning one, good at flirting and ying with boys emotions. Shes probably been kept by some rich old man by now. The other two girls eyes widened immediately. Kept? Although unbelievable, it did make sense considering Su Wanwans expensive clothes and how beautiful she is. Lin Qiao seemed to have an idea, suddenly got up and bounced over to the window, took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the two outside. * * Su Wanwan was unaware of the behind-the-scenes nder against her. After packing up her room, she dismissed Ji Jie, and then she received a call from a certain beast. The first thing he said was, Hows the new dorm, baby? You satisfied? Su Wanwan didnt beat around the bush, Its nice. Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, Tell me, is your husband good to you? Cough, Su Wanwan thought his voice was especially low and maic over the phone, especially with a hint ofughter, creating a sense of intimacy. It felt as if he was deliberately teasing her She couldnt help but feel a little moved, and her heart was pounding. All she could do was nodded shyly. After all, aside from asionally being a beast in certain things, and being slightly stingy, he really was a good man, treating her pretty well. My birthday ising up, Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject, as my wife, you should know what to do, right? Su Wanwan: So, being so nice to her was just to get a birthday present! Typical capitalist, a tant businessman! What do you want for your birthday? Su Wanwan said, and then quickly added, But let me tell you first, I dont have much money, so I cant afford anything too expensive. You have twenty days left. Think about it carefully, baby. Ive got a meeting to run off to. After hanging up, Su Wanwan started to worry. She had never given a man anything before, even Su Xueqin and Su Yuntangs birthdays didnt require her to give any gifts. She didnt have a lot of money to buy a bunch of expensive watches, ties, clothes out like Mo Weiyi does. What should she give him? ** Huo Yuan Group. When Huo Jingshen arrived at the conference room, Chu Xiuhuang was already waiting there. Rarely seen in a meticulously put-together suit and shoes, he still wore a casual look on his face, speakingzily as anything. Bro, you could just reach out to my secretary next time, or Lu Chenyu. Im busy. Huo Jingshen gave him a cold nce. The next second. Thats what secretaries are for. No sooner had Lu Chenyu said this than the entire conference room erupted in a chorus of coughs. As for the one being joked about, Chu Xiuhuangs secretary, she wore a ck suit and ck-framed sses. Her parted hair fell over therger part of her face, hiding her looks and expression. Taken lightly, she seemed to have grown ustomed to such joking treatments. She simply adjusted her sses calmly. A sweep of Huo Jingshens eyes, emitting a formidable aura, silenced the entire room. He said seriously, I believe you all have received thewsuit files from Mo Group. Id now like to hear Huangyous specific solution. The newly built Huo Yuan resort had been progressing smoothly. Even yesterday, sessful press was conducted on it. But this morning, at Mo Groups press, the head of their publicity department directly imed that Huo Yuan had giarised all their ns. All hell broke loose. In less than half an hour,wsuit papers were submitted to his mailbox. This resort project was the first one Huangyou had taken up with Huo Yuan. The promotional operations were entirely their responsibility. Chu Xiuhuang snapped his fingers and his secretary stood up. Good afternoon, Im the head of Huangyous Secretarial Department, Mr. Chus private assistant, my name is Shi. After the incident, we quickly teamed up withwyer Lu and conducted an investigation only to discover that the manager of Shengshi Medias nning department was to me. Here are the investigation documents. Ill add the inside story to Mr. Huos mailbox as there were some personal grudges involved. After finishing, she handed over a document. In the ident, even though Huangyou also suffered, weve had a close rtionship with Shengshi for quite some time. Hence, Huangyou will take full responsibility for this ident in order to minimise the impact on Huo Yuan. At the same time, Huangyou has ceased its cooperation with Shengshi to prevent such idents from urring again. Ive also summarised this in a statement which I request Mr. Huo to review. She handed over a second document. Shengshi Medias Ms. Sheng expressed that they wille up with a disciplinary n for the manager and make him provide a written public apology, going through all the legal procedures with Mo. Tomorrow morning, we n on holding another press conference with Shengshi to provide extensive rification about the incident. This concludes Huangyous n of action.. Chapter 141 - 141:141, Xiaobai will get jealous, even a sow can climb a tree! Chapter 141:141, Xiaobai will get jealous, even a sow can climb a tree! Trantor: 549690339 After making all her statements, she returned to her seat. The manager from the Public Rtions Department couldnt helpmenting, Ive always heard that Huangyous secretary is smart and efficient. Today I see its indeed true. The others didnt say anything, but they all nodded in approval. As for Chu Xiuhuang, he slightly raised one handsome eyebrow and looked at the chairman, What do you think? Huo Jingshen perused the documents before finally saying, I dont want to see this kind of incident again. Mr. Huo, rest assured, if such an event happens again, we at Huangyou will voluntarily resign from our partnership. The secretarys voice was soft, yet her words fell with a clear conviction. Upon hearing this, the people present instinctively turned their heads towards Chu Xiuhuang. After all, he was the real legal representative of Huangyou Investment. Nevertheless, Chu Xiuhuang remained calm and nonchnt. His lips curved into an evil smirk and his eyes were filled with amusement. His handsome face glowed without any hint of displeasure. The crowd once again thought unanimously, apparently, the long-standing rumor was true. Young Chu had no real talent, he was all talk, and the actual decision-maker of Huangyou was this secretary! Huo Jingshens thin lips lifted into a smirk, In that case, I look forward to it. After the meeting ended and all the bystanders had departed, Chu Xiuhuang immediately stood up, loosened his tie, unbuttoned his dress shirt, and lit a cigarette for himself. That Xiao Yebai purposely nned this incident at the conference to smear me, that bastard did it on purpose. Huo Jingshen tossed the file on the table, Your secretary hasnt left yet, you can ask her to think of some other way to handle this. Thats not necessary. Regardless, I cant let big brother suffer any loss, can I? Huo Jingshen remained silent. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, feeling rather aggrieved. He took a hard puff of his cigarette and suddenly dialed a number on his phone, Secretary, ce an order for flowers to be delivered to room 2202 at Nangong Hospital. Yes. Chu Xiuhuang smiled wickedly, Lets send 999 roses, red ones C the ones that symbolize love. * * Nangong Hospital. Mo Weiyi woke up drowsily from her afternoon nap, disturbed by amotion. She opened her eyes, nced at the time C it was four in the afternoon. She decided to get up. Auntie Jiang, can you check whats happening outside? Auntie Jiang went out to check and returned promptly, Princess, someone has sent flowers. Flowers? Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful cat-like eyes, Then let them bring them in. Um, but Rong An is worried Whats there to worry about? Just go ask who sent them. Auntie Jiang had no choice but to go back out and inquire. She returned and reported, They said its from a young master surnamed Chu. Surname Chu? Could it be Chu Xiuhuang? Let them bring it in. On Mo Weiyis orders, Auntie Jiang immediately went to open the door. Soon, floral shop assistants started bringing in bouquets of roses one after another. A few minutester, Mo Weiyi sat in shock, her mouth agape at the entire room full of red roses. What the hell was Chu Xiuhuang doing? There were so many roses that the scent was overpowering, and she could barely suppress a sneeze. Hardly had they sent away the flower delivery people when the phone rang. It was a local number she was unfamiliar with. Who is this? Little Princess. A familiar frivolous male voice came from the other line, Did you receive the roses I sent? Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes, Im only here for a few days, why would you send so many flowers? Presenting flowers to a beauty, of course. So fake! Then thank you. Mo Weiyi followed suit: Fake! Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, Youre wee. Just remember, youre the first woman Ive ever sent 999 roses to in my lifetime. Having said that, he hung up. Mo Weiyi waspletely bewildered. Mr. Xiao. Suddenly, a bodyguards voice came from the door. Mo Weiyi looked at the man entering with delight, Xiaobai, howe youre back so early? Are you here to keep mepany? With that, a smile began to bloom on her face. However, Xiao Yebais expression remained cold. He looked at the spectacr sight in the hospital room, his voice low and his gaze behind his sses even more obscure, Who sent the flowers? Mo Weiyi blinked her cat eyes, A friend. Which friend? Mo Weiyi hesitated for a moment but finally admitted, Chu Xiuhuang. Xiao Yebai averted his gaze and moved to the side table, cing his phone and car keys down, Rong An. A bodyguard in a ck suit immediately came in, Mr. Xiao. Throw these flowers out. Mo Weiyi froze. Rong An acknowledged the order and started to gather the flowers somewhat roughly and quickly.. Wait a moment! Mo Weiyi blurted out. Xiao Yebai nced at her indifferently, the sses reflecting a sudden sh of light. As if a cold de had suddenly been unsheathed. Mo Weiyi asked weakly, Why throw them away? These flowers look so beautiful. Its a pity to throw them away Pity? Xiao Yebai sneered coldly, his voice filled with sarcasm, The clothes jewelry, and shoes youve discarded in the past were worth much more than these. Youve never expressed any regret before. Mo Weiyi: For the time they had known each other, Xiao Yebai had always given the impression of being refined and calm, rarely showing any overt emotion. And yet now, his tone and reaction starkly suggested. Are you jealous? As soon as she said it, Mo Weiyi immediately denied it. As if Xiaobai would be jealous. That was as likely as a sow climbing a tree! Expectedly, Xiao Yebai indifferently shifted his gaze away.. Chapter 142 - 142:142,999 roses Chapter 142:142,999 roses Trantor: 549690339 He hung his head low, his fair and slender fingers undoing the buttons on his shirt. In a calm manner, he uttered, Now, you are a patient, with so many roses around, you can easily get an allergy due to the pollen, which will worsen your condition. Mo Weiyi wrinkled her nose, putting on a soft, dainty voice, Come on, he probably sent the flowers because Im in the hospital, just as a friend offering his support. Xiao Yebai kept silent. If you really do not like them, give them to the nurse. It will be such a waste to throw them away, okay? Xiao Yebai still did not say anything. Mo Weiyi frowned. This was bad; it seemed like he was really upset this time. Rong An stood there, holding a few bouquets of red roses in his hands. His expression was as emotionless as Xiao Yebais. Mo Weiyi blinked, then suddenly spread her arms, Xiaobai, I need to go to the bathroom. Xiao Yebai arched one of his eyebrows. Hurry up, Xiaobai, carry me to the bathroom, Mo Weiyi whined impatiently. Although he knew it was an excuse, the man walked over, reached out with his arms, and easily picked her up to take her to the bathroom. Mo Weiyi stuck her head out from his arm, pointing at the room full of flowers. Then she mouthed silently to Rong An, Take all the flowers away. Rong An had been with her for over ten years and naturally understood what to do. After entering the bathroom, Xiao Yebai put her in front of the toilet and then turned to leave. Xiaobai Ill close the door. Um As expected, Xiao Yebai locked the door and came back, Do you need my help? The man asked in a deadpan tone, making Mo Weiyi blush inexplicably. In fact, she didnt need to use the toilet at all; she just wanted the flowers not to be wasted. The hospital patients clothes were loose. Mo Weiyi was standing on her own with difficulty when she grabbed Xiao Yebai, Im cold. Xiao Yebai slowly spoke, his voice low and deep, Where are you cold? Mo Weiyi: Mo Weiyi was carried by Xiao Yebai when they left the bathroom. Princess. The servants voice brought her back to reality, Its time for dinner, what would you like to eat, princess? Moe Weiyi touched her burning cheeks and pretended to be calm, I will have the same thing as Xiaobai. Jiang Auntie turned to nce at the male master of the house. And so, Xiao Yebai ordered a few dishes. His voice was calm, his expression indifferent. If not for the creases on his shirt that she had just made, he would have been neat and tidy, as if nothing had happened at all. He was just a debonair yet annoying man. Mo Weiyi secretly grumbled to herself. But it was fine. Seeing the roses in the room had all disappeared, he didnt seem suspicious. Mo Weiyi thought it was over, but she had no idea that The next day at noon. Just when she was ready to have lunch, noise came from the hallway again. Soon, Jiang Auntie came in and said, Princess, someone has delivered flowers again. Huh? This time it was 999 champagne roses. Having learned fromst times experience, Mo Weiyi simply ordered, You guys can deliver them to the office downstairs and give them to the nurses. The flower delivery personnel looked at each other, and then the one who seemed to be the leader said, Mr. Chu said that the flowers must be hand-delivered to Ms. Mo. Moe Weiyi could feel her heart miss a beat. With a wave of her hand, she said, Then bring them in first. Once the flowers are ced neatly, she could always have Rong An send them downstairs. Just as the flowers were arranged, Mr. Chu called. This time, Moe Weiyi didnt even bother to mince words. Chu Xiuhuang, if you have too much money and its burning a hole in your pocket, you can donate to charities like Project Hope instead of squandering it so carelessly. Why did you send 999 roses again today after you had already sent the same amount yesterday? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was still his usual frivolous and casual one, Yesterdays flowers, they must have been thrown in the bin, right? Mo Weiyi did not deny, Arent you self-aware then? So, thats why. How can a princesss room not be adorned with flowers? Today, I specially had my secretary ce an order for 999 champagne roses just for you. How about it, do you like them? I dont like them! Alright then, Chu Xiuhuang was not vexed, Shall I send you Shangri roses tomorrow? Or the Blue Enchantress? Or Lilies? Never mind, just tell me what flowers you like. Stop sending them! Mo Weiyi said, drained, My husband doesnt like it. Im sending them to the little princess, not to your husband.. What does it matter to me whether he likes them or not? Chapter 143 - 143:143, a cat mourning a mouse feigns compassion Chapter 143:143, a cat mourning a mouse feignspassion Trantor: 549690339 Why on earth Since the little princess doesnt want to speak up, I will send you one type of flower each day, until I find the one you like. After pausing, he continues, Little princess, you need to know, you are the first woman in this world that has made me send 999 roses consecutively for two days. The call ended abruptly. Mo Weiyi stared at the phone. Is this guy a Virgo? Such an obsession with numbers. Could he possibly keep track of how many girlfriends hes had? Young Master Xiao. Rong Ans voice suddenly rang out. Mo Weiyi immediately became flustered. Damn! Why did Xiaobai return at this moment? Could he possibly be this unlucky? Upon seeing the remarkable sight of the room filled with fresh flowers once again, Xiao Yebais face instantly turned cold. Quite evidently. A visibly cold aura was spreading Especially because the weather was getting colder, he wore a pitch-ck suit today, meticulously dressed down to his pant legs that were also radiating a cold glow. Err, Xiaobai, these flowers Xiao Yebai didnt utter a word and just turned around and left. Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, quickly called out to Rong An, Hurry up, Rong An, take these flowers downstairs! Rong Ans poker face twitched a couple of times, and he promptly got to work. Because he was handed the roses yesterday afternoon to give to the floors below, many nurses would shoot him flirtatious nces whenever theyd pass by in the corridor Indeed, simply absurd! * * About half an hourter, just as Mo Weiyi was figuring out how to exin the situation over the phone, Xiao Yebai came back, followed by the head physician. Miss Mos left foot has minor burns, but the main issue is the broken toe on her right foot, which needs to be immobilized for about six weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, make sure someone is around at all times to avoid happening of any idents likest time. Ive already stated all the other precautions, if you have any problems,e to the hospital promptly Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Was she being discharged? Rong An had just finished moving the flowers and hade back. Rong An, bring the car around. Xiao Yebai instructed as he tossed the car keys to Rong An. Aunty Jiang, could you tidy up the room and ask old Liu to bring the car here. As for him, he picked up a coat, wrapped it around Mo Weiyi, carried her in his arms and proceeded towards the exit. Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi questioned him, why the sudden discharge? The hospital is inconvenient, Xiao Yebai said indifferently. Inconvenient? Mo Weiyi blinked. For some unknown reason, she remembered yesterday evening in the bathroom She buried her face in his chest. Oh, this was so embarrassing. So Xiaobai wanted to be discharged because of that! * * Once they reached the car, Xiao Yebais phone suddenly rang. I will be there right awayyou guys go directly upstairsokay. A few vague sentences. Mo Weiyi presumed it was a work call because as soon as he hung up hemanded, Rong An, drive back to Lishui Bay. Alright. Xiao Yebai looked at Mo Weiyi, Ill join you after wrapping up the work. Okay, Mo Weiyi willingly agreed. It could be her imagination, but ever since the night they were scared by the child, Xiaobai had been noticeably more caring towards her. He would leave work on time and would evene to apany her for lunch. When Xiao Yebai left, Rong An drove back to Lishui Bay. Mo Weiyi, having nothing else to do, started a conversation with the bodyguard. Rong An, are you tired? Not tired. But youve been with me all these two days, and it seems you didnt sleep at night, are you sure youre not tired? Not tired. If youre tired, I can hire a substitute driver, or ask the family driver toe and pick us up. Not tired. Mo Weiyi: Alright then. * * Hospital, 21st floor. Xiao Yebai heard amotion while he was walking down the corridor. The door was open, so he walked there and knocked lightly on the door. Everyone in the sick room turned to look. You all leave first, Xiao Yebai said impassively. The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly filed out. Brother, why did you tell mom and dad that I was hospitalized? Xiao Zhiwei asked in a hoarse voice. We cant believe you were hospitalized and didnt tell us, do you realize how worried your father and I have been? Xiao Zhiweis mother scolded her in a motherly tone. Dont y the sympathy card! Xiao Zhiwei interrupted angrily, Youre worried that I might run away, arent you? What nonsense is that! Her father warned her, before turning to Xiao Yebai, Yebai, I knew you wouldnt ignore our familys Weiwei. After all, your aunt and I raised you for eight years. Youre much more respectful than Weiwei, you know gratitude Brother! Xiao Zhiwei interrupted, What did I do wrong, why do you despise me so much? Why do you go back on your word! Weiwei, her mother scolded, speak properly to your brother. Shut up! Xiao Zhiwei trembled, Brother, dont you know that four years ago they forced me to marry that old man What do you mean old man1? Her mother interjected. If I hadnt escaped then, that pervert wouldve tortured me to death long ago! What nonsensical things are you saying Thats enough! A chilled voice from the man overwhelmed the sickroom. He looked at the three people in front of him, Medical fees, hospital fees, everything has been pre-paid. The person, Ill hand over to you now. Hearing these words, Xiao Zhiwei screamed hysterically, I dont want to! Brother, didnt you promise me? Why? Why would you go back on your word! Chapter 162 - 162:162, Boss Huo’s divine arrival Chapter 162:162, Boss Huos divine arrival Trantor: 549690339 | Madam Xing sternly said, I always thought that although Wanwan has been headstrong since she was a child, she still had a clear sense of right and wrong. Otherwise, Xueqin wouldnt have defended you all these years. It turns out that I, an old woman, was wrong about you. Although the others didnt express their opinions, the situation was clear. Su Wanwan felt oppressed and couldnt help but say, So, based on a few photos and some gossip, you have all concluded that I intentionally pushed Su Yanyan downstairs and caused her to lose her child? Could it be that despite your years, you cant even distinguish right from wrong? Insolent! Master Xing roared, the veins throbbing on his forehead, How dare a young girl like you speak to me like this! Do you know, even if Huo Yuanshan were here, he would have to respectfully address me as the old leader! Old Xing, dont get angry, Su Xueqin hurriedly pacified, This matter indeed involves Wanwans mistake. Both she and Yanyan are my granddaughters. I cant favor one over the other Grandpa! Su Yanyan cried out, adding fuel to the fire, Now my child is gone, its your great-grandson whos gone! That was a living life! Su Xueqin frowned deeply. Yes. A life, not even three months old, was gone just like that. He frowned deeply and said in a heavy voice, Wanwan,e over here. Su Wanwan looked at him. A few secondster, she hesitated and walked over. Once she was in front of his wheelchair, Su Xueqin said, Wanwan, Grandpa knows youre a good girl, and you mustnt have meant to push Yanyan down the stairs. Nobody wants to see such a incident. But no matter what, you yed a role in this incident, and you carry some responsibility. If you still consider me your grandfather and are willing to listen to me, Imand you now to lower your head and apologize to Grandfather Xing! He humbled himself and tried to reason with her, but to his surprise I did nothing wrong! Su Xueqin lost his patience. He swung his walking stick and hit Su Wanwan on the left shoulder, creating a loud bang. On the nearby sickbed, Su Yanyan watched without blinking, the depths of her eyes full of unabashed pleasure and excitement. She had to grit her teeth tightly to control herself from bursting intoughter. Su Wanwan, keep reveling in your arrogance. Now, even the grandfather who has protected you since your childhood is punishing you in front of everyone for my sake. Does it hurt? Are you heartbroken? Are you going to apologize or not? Su Xueqin asked again. I said I did nothing wrong! Su Xueqin: The hand gripping the walking stick trembled slightly because of the force. He knew that this granddaughter was stubborn, but he had no idea That she would be this stubborn! She still wouldnt concede even after being hit with the walking stick! Was it that hard to apologize? Su Wanwan stood there defiantly. There was a crimson hue in her eyes, her expression was cold, and her left arm was numb from the pain. She felt like an isted ind at the moment, with the people in this room representing the surging tides all around, moring, madly trying to destroy her Su Xueqin looked at her and sighed heavily, Okay, if thats the case, today I will discipline the younger generation on behalf of the Su Family. I hope you will remember this lesson and will not act impulsively and recklessly in the future! Just as he was about to hit her for the second time with his raised walking stick, a bang resounded as the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, hitting the wall with a ng. The sudden sound startled Su Yanyan into screaming. Then, a familiar yet deep male voice rang out, Sorry, babe, Imte. When Su Wanwan looked up, she saw Huo Jingshen standing at the door. He was dressed in a crisply tailored ck suit, a pristine white shirt underneath, and a perfectly knotted dark tie. His expression was cold, and he exuded an air of aloof elegance. In front of everyone, he leisurely lowered his raised foot. His trousers were as sharp as a knifes edge, reflecting light off his ck leather shoes. At this moment, he was the picture of elegance, acting as if the kick that had just taken ce wasnt his doing. Nangong Cis handsome face twitched a few times at the sight from the hallway. He had actually kicked open the expensive, solid door of his hospital! As a public figure with journalists around, could he be a little more civilized? The others in the room were also dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, Huo Jingshen was a high and mighty CEO who didnt respond to Nangong Cis pleas, but now he was kicking down doors. Incredibly crude! Themotion was so loud that several medical staff, patients and their families in the hallway came to see what was happening. Nangong Ci waved his hand to let the security disperse the crowd. At the same time, he ordered his secretary, Hurry up and bring them directly to the ward, and get Dr. Wang toe over as well. Yes, Deputy Director. In the sickroom, Master Xings voice came out, unable to suppress his fury, Rascal! What do you think you are doing? Su Xueqin, sitting in his wheelchair, clutched his chest with one hand, his heart was throbbing in fright due to the noise. Sorry, I was too worried about my baby, so I forgot to knock. Huo Jingshen replied with tant nonchnce and righteousness. The crowd was speechless:. Chapter 171 - 171:171, lipstick for killing charming men Chapter 171:171, lipstick for killing charming men Trantor: 549690339 I Oh, skipping ss only a few days into the term, huh? Having a backing really is something! Lin Qiao said, ncing again at the luxury car driving off in the distance. Even though she didnt recognize the model, she knew it was a kind of Bentley, worth at least several millions. What a crafty thing, she has managed to hook such a rich man to drop her off at school. But she couldnt make out how the man inside the car looked like because the windows were tinted. I bet hes a doddering old man in his sixties. Lin Qiao thought to herself with contempt. Looking at Su Wanwan, with her hair in a mess and beaming face, she could tell she wasing fresh from some manspany. They couldnt have been fooling around in the car just a moment ago, could they? The very thought of that disgraceful scene made Lin Qiaos face turn red with anger. Such a shameless lowlife! Su Wanwan looked at her, Lin Qiao, have I ever eaten rice from your house? Why do you grit your teeth every time you see me? Huh? Lin Qiao was taken aback. Su Wanwan sneered, and decided she had no more time to waste. She turned around and walked away. Su Wanwan, where are you running off to? Stop right there! Su Wanwan! Lin Qiao stomped her foot in anger, Lowlife! Clearly acting like a guilty thief! * * Just as she entered the ssroom, the ss bell rang. Su Wanwan seamlessly slipped in with the other students. However, she had left abruptly at noon, and she still only had the morning Journalism textbook in her bag. She just had to wing it for now. Pretty soon, the ssroom seats filled up with students. Li Mochou came in and began the lesson. Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. But good things neverst. All of a sudden, Li Mochou said, This English passage is a bit long. Would any of the students be willing to read it aloud for the ss? Present! Lin Qiao raised her hand. Su Wanwan wrinkled her brow subconsciously. As expected. Professor, I suggest Su Wanwan read it. She did a great jobst time I heard her. Okay. Li Mochou agreed. Under the eyes of everyone, Su Wanwan could only stand up. Lin Qiao instantly smiled triumphantly. Are all these people blind? She came to ss without a textbook, lets see her try to read thin air! Su Wanwan looked around. She had just transferred in, and she didnt know anyone in the ss well. Not to mention, she sat alone at the back, there was no one to borrow from. She decided she had better be honest. Sorry, professor. I didnt bring the textbook. Whats the matter? Li Mochou furrowed her brow instantly. All the students turned to look. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Brazen enough to ck off during Li Mochous ss. Such audacity. The smile on Lin Qiaos face grew even more triumphant. Su Wanwan spoke calmly, Professor, I had a fall at noon and had to be treated at a hospital. She took out the receipt Huo Jingshen had flung into her bag, walked up to the podium, and said earnestly, This is my receipt from the hospital. I had wasted too much time getting in line, and I didnt want to miss your ss, so I did not go back to the dorm to grab my textbook. Oh, so thats why. Li Mochou nced at the receipt and her tone softened significantly, You should have asked for leave ahead of time if you were injured. Im not an unreasonable professor. Alright, you may sit. Thank you, professor. * * When ss was over and Li Mochou left, the entire ssroom was instantly liberated. Today is Friday, the first weekend since the term started was just around the corner, and many people were already discussing how they would celebrate. Lin Qiao was packing up her stuff when suddenly, Bang! A thick History of Chinese News Communication textbook pped down onto her table. She was startled. The chatter in the ssroom was instantly silenced. Su Wanwan was standing next to her desk, looking down at her and said, Lin Qiao, all you do all day is y these third-rate tricks. Are you brain-dead or just stupid? With an audible gasp, the ssroom instantly went wild. Wow, are they tearing at each other? I like a pretty girl who swears! The new girl has guts, picking a fight with the queen bee directly! Lin Qiao was a bit outraged. But All these people in the ss are her ssmates. Jian Shuhao was sitting right next to her. As the beauty queen of her department, she must maintain her image and couldnt resort to badnguage andck of manners like Su Wanwan. So, she could only retort in a veiled manner, Su Wanwan, just because you have a sugar daddy, doesnt mean you can insult others however you wish! Sugar Daddy? At the mention of these words, the ss got even more excited, boys and girls alike were murmuring among themselves. Su Wanwan, however, thought of the encounter at the school gate earlier. So Was she referring to Huo Jingshen as Sugar Daddy? She chuckled, Why dont you find a few sugar daddies yourself, make sure theyre even better than mine. If you cant, then know your ce. Stop bbing behind my back. Youre nothing but a spineless coward! Lin Qiao rocketed to her feet,You.. You, what you? Su Wanwan cut her off, But to be honest, for someone like you, finding a sugar daddy could be a bit difficult. She looked Lin Qiao up and down, clucked her tongue in disdain and mockery, Do you think pping on makeup can charm a man? How tacky! Instead of trying to pick a fight with me, youre better off reading more fashion magazines and leveling up your style. Here we are in September, and youre still wearing tank tops, exposing your cleavage and back as if youre a streetwalker. Isnt your boyfriend embarrassed to be seen with you? Jian Shuhao, sitting nearby, looked noticeably distressed at her words. Su Wanwan! Lin Qiao was shaking with anger.. Chapter 176:176, treat words like gold Chapter 176:176, treat words like gold
Trantor: 549690339 Huo Jingshen only gave her a few thousand yuan for living expenses, she wasnt extravagant enough to spend it all on a birthday gift. Ill ask Rong An to bring the car to the ground floor and take you home first. I still have to go to the old mansion for dinnerter.
Okay. While Mo Weiyi was on the phone, Su Wanwan nced around, and then she saw a gift shop. Wee The cashier greeted her enthusiastically, Miss, feel free to look around. Today is our stores anniversary and selected items are discounted by 12%. A12% discount? Su Wanwan immediately walked in. She chose a ck, simple phone case from a row of them. She looked at the price, 588 yuan. Damn, a phone case is so expensive! Can this item be discounted? The cashier took a nce, I am sorry, this item is not discountable. Su Wanwan:
Miss, what do you think about this pair of couple phone cases? They can be discounted to 80% off. The total for the pair is only 588 yuan, its quite a deal. Su Wanwan looked at the couple phone cases she was holding. The mens model was ck Mickey and the womens was red Minnie. When put together, their fingers formed a heart. Umm, this Even she thought the design was childish, not to mention the mboyant colors. Is there anything cheaper? Su Wanwan asked. No, this pair is the cheapest, the saleswoman pushed hard for the sale. This Mickey and Minnie design is really popr right now. Many young couples have bought this from us. Su Wanwan: But shes supposed to be giving the gift to a thirty-year-old man! Wanwan, the car is here. Mo Weiyis voice rang out from outside. In a hurry, Su Wanwan said, Wrap it up for me. Sure, Miss.
Hurrying back outside, Mo Weiyi asked her, What did you buy? Nothing, just taking a look. Su Wanwan coughed. -Ill have Rong An take you home. Ill take my drivers car back to the mansion for dinner. Okay. Once outside, they both got into separate cars and parted ways. In the car, Su Wanwan gave the address and then took out her phone, only to discover that it had automatically shut down due to low battery. The ck Audi traveled smoothly. With no phone to y with, Su Wanwan was bored. So, she said, Rong An, can you y some music? Rong An responded with a stiff voice, I dont have any music in my car. So dull? Can we y the radio then? No radio either.
Su Wanwan was speechless, Then, how about you sing for me? I dont know how to sing. Ha ha ha, Su Wanwan couldnt help but want tough. How could Weiyi stand this bodyguard? He was definitely one who was sparing with his words. A whileter, looking at the pair of couple phone cases shed just bought, Su Wanwan felt more and more that they were childish. Unable to hold back, she spoke again, Rong An, what sort of presents have your girlfriends given you for your birthdays? Rong An looked to be in his mid-twenties, hes a man after all. Asking him might provide some reference points. Who knew I dont have a girlfriend. Su Wanwan: Alright then. He was truly a conversation killer. She gave up trying to talk to him. ** Meanwhile, at the Imperial Court vi. At the dining table, Fu Ziyang was asionally ncing at Huo Jingshen across from him as he chewed his rice. Why does Uncle Huo keep furrowing his brow? Just then, a cellphone on the table started to ring. Huo Jingshens eyes flickered, but when he saw the screen, his expression returned to one of indifference. Grandma. Ashen, its the weekend tomorrow. Why dont you bring Wanwan home for dinner and stay the night at the big house? No. Grandma Huo was surprised, Whats wrong? Is there a problem? Huo Jingshen furrowed his brows, not saying anything. Oh, right. Last time you said that your friends son was also staying at your ce, right? Why dont you bring him along tomorrow No. Grandma Huo finally sensed something was off, Whats the matter? Are you having a disagreement with Wanwan? Again, he said nothing. Grandma Huo became anxious, her voice raising considerably, Whats wrong with you? You are an adult, already married, why havent you grown up? Wanwan is only 20, shes still a child, you should be coddling her Grandma. Huo Jingshen interrupted, Its children who need strict discipline. Nonsense! Grandma Huo scolded, Discipline, what discipline? She is your wife, someone you marry to spend your life with. I dont hope for a strong woman from our family, I just wish she could give you a child soon, so that your parents can rest in peace. My poor Ze Cheng, gone too soon, I, an elder, sending off a younger one Suddenly, the sound of a car engine interrupted her sad reminiscing. Huo Jingshen interrupted his grandmother, Grandma, Ill hang up now. You better remember what Ive said, Ashen Huo Jingshen immediately hung up the call. He got up and walked out. The ck Audi slowly stopped in front of the vis gate. just as Su Wanwan grabbed her bag, she heard Rong Ans voice, Your husband? What? Your husband. Upon raising her head, Su Wanwan saw a tall figure walking towards the entrance. Oh no. She quickly said, Im getting out now. You should turn around immediately and drive away without looking back. Do you hear me? Rong An: He was just driving her home, why did she make it seem like he was caught in an affair? Dont stop the car no matter what noise you hear! Su Wanwan emphasized once more. After saying that, she immediately got out of the car, continuously waving her hands at him, making all sorts of explicit and implicit gestures. Rong An looked at her expressionlessly.. Chapter 181 - 181:181, having ulterior motives Chapter 181:181, having ulterior motives Trantor: 549690339 As far as she can remember, no matter whether it was in Nancheng, or during the years when she was in America, her parents rtionship was never good. After Qu Zizunspany dered bankruptcy a few years back, their marriage started teetering on the edge of copse. Arguments every three days, blowout fights every five, they finally divorced six months ago. What she couldnt ept was that Xu Jing had agreed to leave the marriage without taking a single penny in alimony. Qu Yunyao thought her mother was too weak, not even able to fight for what she deserved, which had made her, her daughter, bear a lot of hardship as a result. Not at all like her aunt, who despite leaving the world at a young age due a good marriage, her daughter was raised like a princess in the Mo family. Mo Weiyi was truly an admired woman, so high above, always got what she wanted, and never put anyone in her sight ** After leaving the restroom, Qu Yunyao looked at the doorway. With a turn of thought, she headed in the opposite direction of the corridor. As expected, when she circled the vi, she spotted Xiaoyebai who was standing in the corridor making a call. He was holding his phone as a cigarette was caught between his slender fingers. Compared to his cultured and refined manner when he was in front o everyone earlier, his present image exuded azy and wild charm. ** The matter you asked me to look into has been sorted out. What do you mean? -Your uncle and aunt have been staying at a hotel nearby the hospital for the past few days. It seems your uncle was somewhat injured but its not serious. Lately, apart from going in and out of the hospital to take care of your cousin, they havent made any other moves. Xiaoyebai pressed his thin lips together after hearing these words, falling silent. Ive also checked their ounts, theres been no deposit these few days. If youre really suspicious, we can ask thepanys finance department to check on Mo Yaoxiongs ounts. Without the money, they cant be so quiet. Xiaoyebai said lightly. What are you suspecting? Xiaoyebai didnt say anything. Youve already checked. the voice on the other side of the call sighed, Eight million, its indeed not a huge amount for Mo Yaoxiong but if he transferred it through thepanys ount, there would be traces. So, if hes keeping it such a secret while giving the money in private, he must have something to hide. Could it be The voice on the phone turned serious, Did he leave something incriminating in the hands of your uncle and aunt? Xiaoyebai narrowed his eyes slightly, under the dim light of the balcony, his handsome features grew more obscure. After taking a drag of his cigarette he said, Keep investigating. Call me if anythinges up. Alright. Also take care of thepanys business. Whats wrong? Youveid off quite a few old stakeholders of Mo family these past years. Most of them were your grandfathers old subordinates. Some were Mo Yaoxiongs old friends. Theres too much dirtyundry in the Mo familys past. If they want to clean their te, they wont have any convenience to break things off with these people. So they let you y the bad guy, letting you be the hardliner. Now, Mo family is smooth sailing, but even a rabbit will bite when its cornered, if they backfire, the most dangerous one will be you. Xiaoyebai said, I keep it in mind. Anyway, better safe than sorry. Ill be back in a few days. Well catch up over drinks. Hmm. He ended the call, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to leave. Qu Yunyao stood in the corner of thewn outside the balcony, holding her breath and listening, until the sound of footsteps disappearedpletely. Then she turned around and went back the same way she came. ** In the living room, the projector was showing aedy show on the big screen. When Mo Weiyi saw Xiaoyebai return, she immediately said, Xiaobai,e and have strawberries. Granny brought them over, theyre so sweet. As Xiaoyebai got closer to her, she handed him the half-eaten strawberry in her hand. Xiaoyebai bent over and took a bite off the strawberry in her hand. Is it sweet? Mo Weiyi asked with her beautiful cat eyes watching him. Hmm. Xiaoyebai replied. Mo Weiyi smiled immediately, her eyes curving, Want more? She was beautiful, and when she smiled, she was sweeter. Xiaoyebai looked at her and his lips curled up slightly, Eat less, your period is almost here. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, Ah, soon? Tomorrow. Mo Weiyi: Its strange that Xiaoyebai could never remember any holiday or anniversary, but he always knew when her period was due, how many days itsted, and remembered these very urately. So she never bothered to remember those days and let him remind her, only this time Mo Weiyi put the strawberry down, and a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind. Up to now she still didnt have any physical response, could it be Yunyao. Xu Jing called out, Why were you in the restroom for so long? Your uncle wanted to ask you about the piano grade exam. Mo Weiyi looked over. Qu Yunyao sat down on the couch and politely said, Ive recently been practicing Beethovens Sonata in G Minor, First Movement, but no matter how much I practice, I dont feel like Im ying it well. Xu Jing said with a smile, Dont rush. There is a process to learning the piano. I remember my brother-inw is pretty good at ying the piano, right? Qu Yunyao asked. Correct, Mo Yaoxung said immediately, Yebai got his grade ten certificates in piano and violin a long time ago. Wow brother-inw is so amazing! Qu Yunyao said with a look of admiration, Hes handsome, good at work, and has such high musical talent. Weiyi, you must have saved the Milky Way in yourst life, right? Chapter 184 - 184:184, Protect Mo Weiyi Chapter 184:184, Protect Mo Weiyi Trantor: 549690339 Xiao Yebai: Hehe. After finishing signing, Mo Weiyis mood greatly improved, and she once again buried her face in the mans embrace, coyly cooing, Lets go, I need to chat with grandma soon, and then Ill apany you to bed. The man raised an eyebrow, Hmm, and stepped away from her. ** Mrs. Xus guestroom was situated on the first floor of a vi at the southernmost corner. The vi, styled in minimalist American fashion, had been Xiao Yebais home ever since he arrived at the Mo Family home. They would always stay here whenever they return. Having led Mo Weiyi to the olddys room, Xiao Yebai went to the adjoining study to handle somepany matters. It wasnt long before his phone rang. Looking at the name on the screen, he frowned but still answered the call. Brother. On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhiweis voice came through, Its me. What is it? Xiao Yebais voice was indifferent. Brother, tomorrow is the weekend, could youe to the hospital to visit me? As if afraid Xiao Yebai would refuse, she quickly added, Ive been recovering these past few days and have done a lot of thinking. I realize everything was my fault, and I want to apologize to you in person. Can I? Theres no need. His voice remained indifferent, exuding an aloof chill. But, brother, my parents said theyll take me back to Tongcheng the day after tomorrow I dont know when Ill get another chance to see you again Her voice wobbled with an impending sob, Brother, I really just want to see you one more time. Cant I do that? Xiao Zhiwei. The mans voice carried a hint of annoyance, Since youve decided to go back, you should focus on starting anew. Brother. Xiao Zhiwei finally started crying, But you know, I dont want to go back at all! Im being forced! My parents what else do they do other than forcing me to get married? In their eyes, Im just a useless daughter. Other than marrying me off for some dowry, do they care about my feelings? Do they even care about my life and death? Dont tell me you didnt know all of this? Xiao Yebai remained silent. Silence, almost to the point of cruelty. After a burst of whimpering, Xiao Zhiwei spoke again, I know, what I did a few days ago was wrong. I shouldnt have deliberately provoked Miss Mo, and I definitely shouldnt have asked the kid to go downstairs and scare her so, this time I wont ask anything of you. Once Im back, whether I live or die, I will not bother you anymore. But I really just want to see you onest time, is that too much? If youre worried, bring Miss Mo with you. I will apologize to her in person. She doesnt know about the things youve done. The other end of the phone fell intoplete silence. His slender finger tapped twice on the ck table. Xiao Yebai said, Im hanging up. Wait. Xiao Zhiwei hastily interrupted him, Then, Ill apologize to her about past things, is that okay? She had humbled herself and pleaded, only to be met with the mans merciless refusal. I said theres no need. Im hanging up now. ** The hospital room. Xiao Zhiwei looked at the screen that was gradually darkening. The hand holding the phone was white from the force of her grip, while her face was twisted with jealousy to the point of madness. The day she returned to the country, she had intentionally bought an abortion pill after getting off the ne, calcted the onset of its effects, and then called Xiao Yebai. She had thought he would stay with her at the hospital, but to her surprise, he had left before she had evene out of the operating room. She knew that day was Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyis wedding anniversary. What an ironic day. It was on this day four years ago that she was forced onto a ne to study in Canada by the Mo Familys bodyguards. She also knew that all of this was because Mo Weiyi disliked her. After all, since she was a child, she had been the only woman close to Xiao Yebai. Because of their rtionship, they had once lived under the same roof, going to school together, eating together, doing homework together, sleeping in bunk beds together During the four years in Canada, she tried desperately to return to her home country, only to be rejected by Mo Yaoxiong. For the happiness of his only daughter, he was even willing to let her, an innocent person, wander in a foreign country. She hated Mo Yaoxiong, but more than that, she hated Mo Weiyi. So when she finally got the chance to return to her home country, she did everything she could to provoke Mo Weiyi. This woman had been pampered like a princess since she was a child. She was high and mighty, capricious and short-tempered, especially when it came to Xiao Yebai. The fact that she disliked Xiao Zhiwei meant she couldnt stand the slightest provocation. So, despite knowing she needed to rest after an abortion, she took risks and deliberately fell, making her body continuously show various symptoms Until the doctor told her that her uterus was severely damaged and she would never be able to bear children again But she didnt regret it at all. Because she didnt want that child in the first ce, and what difference would it make if her body was ruined? She couldnt be with the man she loved, and she definitely wouldnt carry and give birth to another mans child. That dead child was just a tool for her to return to the country.. Chapter 186 - 186:186, Monk Tang Xiaobai Chapter 186:186, Monk Tang Xiaobai Trantor: 549690339 Suddenly, the phone on the sofa rang. Xiao Yebai said, Answer the phone. Mo Weiyi, however, held onto him and wouldnt let go, It must be Wanwan calling, you dont have to answer. The little brat always knew how to interrupt at the worst times! The phone kept ringing stubbornly for a while before it finally stopped. * * Inside the West Garden Vi. In the living room, Xu Jing put down the phone, Its toote, Yiyi might be asleep, she didnt pick up. Qu Yunyao, dressed in a pure white onesie, looked upset, What should I do if myputer is broken? I promised to send the revised script to the director tonight. The servants do not know how to fix it, my only option is to ask my brother-inw for help Mom, can you call Yiyi for me again? Yunyao, you cant be so unreasonable. Xu Jing educated her daughter, Itste, its not nice to disturb others rest. Really? Qu Yunyao muttered, But its not even eleven oclock yet. If not Xu Jing thought for a moment, I can call your uncle for you, let him help you out? Why dont you directly ask my uncle for my brother-inws number instead, isnt that easier. Xu Jing couldnt help but frown, I just called Yiyi and she didnt answer. They must be together, cant you understand? Qu Yunyao closed her lips tightly and could only say, I understand. In front of her mother, she had to act like a well-behaved child C she had to be considerate, she had to concede, she couldnt be too wilful. She stood up, her voice gentle, Mom, Ill go to bed first. Dont you want your uncle to help you with yourputer? No need, Ill deal with it tomorrow. Qu Yunyao turned around, the sweet smile on her face instantly disappearing. * * The following morning. The first thing Mo Weiyi did after getting up was to look for her phone. She discovered that it wasnt Wanwan who had called, but a local number she didnt recognize. Who is this? Calling me in the middle of the night, its ridiculous. Xiao Yebai took a nce and said, It might be a spam call. A spam call? Mo Weiyi frowned, about to return the call Wait, Ill have Zhong Kai help you change your number. Mo Weiyi was surprised, Why should I change my number? Xiao Yebai said: Youve been using this mobile number for over ten years. When shopping and so on, you might have exposed it too much without noticing, which is why youre getting so many spam calls. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, But changing numbers is bothersome Its not, as long as family and friends know the new number, it doesnt matter if other people dont. That made sense. Mo Weiyi didnt have many friends and she barely kept in contact with her ssmates. So she nodded, Alright, let Zhong Kai help me change it. I want an easy-to-remember number. Okay. * * After the two of them had gotten ready, they went downstairs to the dining hall for breakfast. Since the old man got up early and they had guests, everyone was already seated in the dining room. As soon as Mo Weiyi sat down, Mo Yaoxiong said, Yebai, after breakfast, help Yunyao with herputer. Mo Weiyi immediately turned to look at Qu Yunyao, Whats wrong with yourputer? Myptop suddenly wont turn on. I wanted to ask my brother-inw for helpst night, but I was afraid to disturb your rest. Qu Yunyao exined, looking across at the neat and gentle man, So after breakfast, can you help me check it out, brother-inw? If theptop is broken, just buy a new one. The person who spoke was still Mo Weiyi. Her delicate brows and eyes were filled with a strong and obvious aura of authority, Dont bother my husband with such minor things. Hes very busy. If you and my aunt are going to live here, if you need anything, just find Aunt Zhou or Uncle Shi. If not, find my dad. Mo Yaoxiong coughed twice. This daughter, her way of speaking and doing things is too straightforward. Qu Yunyao visibly faltered at the direct confrontation. She stammered, But theres a half-edited script on myptop, its not as simple as getting a newputer Her voice gradually dropped, and she hung her head low. All right, let Yebai take a look at yourputer. Mo Yaoxiong ended the discussion with a crash of his fist on the table, then turned to his daughter, with a somewhat stern tone, Weiyi, Yunyao is your sister.. Chapter 187 - 187:187, lackey Chapter 187:187,ckey Trantor: 549690339 Shes not rted by blood. Mo Weiyi muttered under her breath. Words spoken carelessly can have significant consequences. Mo Yaoxiongs expression wavered. As for Xu Jing, she also appeared surprised. Weiyi and I are heading to the hospitalter. A mans deep voice suddenly rang out. Mo Yaoxiong snapped back to reality, To the hospital? Why? Xiao Yebai, holding his coffee casually, replied with indifference, Zhiwei returns to Tongcheng tomorrow. So, that was it. Since shes leaving tomorrow, its fitting for us to visit her at the hospital as her brother and sister-inw. Mo Yaoxiong said, turning to his daughter, When were there, remember to speak politely. No more unnecessary tantrums, understood? Mo Weiyi had no intention of paying him any mind. What kind of father, she thought, scolded her in front of others? Hmph. She picked up her soy milk, engrossed in her own drink, apparently oblivious to him. Seeing her like that, Mo Yaoxiong was about to reprimand her, but So, Xiao Yebais voice sounded again, Ill have Rong An check Miss Bingsputer. Rong An? Mo Weiyis bodyguard? Qu Yunyao frowned, But myputer seems to be virus-infected. Itsplex, and the script on it is crucial A bodyguard, all brawn and no brain, what could he possibly do? Xiao Yebais lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile, his downcastshes concealing any hint of emotion. Mo Yaoxiong chimed in matter-of-factly, Letting Rong An take a look is a good idea. I had nearly forgotten that Rong An was a top-notchputer science major. Fixingputers should be a piece of cake for him, so dont worry, Yunyao. Qu Yunyao: Seriously? What a coincidence? A random bodyguard just happens to be a highly qualifiedputer science graduate? But since Mo Yaoxiong had put forth this suggestion, she couldnt really object. ** After lunch, Qu Yunyao, followed by the mysterious, ck-d bodyguard, headed towards West Garden Vi. They entered the living room. Wait here, Ill go grab myputer from the bedroom. She quickly went into her room and returned gripping herptop. Seeing the bodyguard attempting to fix herputer by the coffee table, she asked, Can you do it? Yes. The script on it is crucial. Be careful not to lose it. Yes. First try and fix it yourself. If you cant, well have my brother-inw look at it, alright? Yes. Qu Yunyao: Was he mute or deaf? Could he only respond with a single word? A whileter, she heard the tter of the keyboard. Unable to resist, she warned him, Be careful. If you dare to lose my scripts, Ill fire you! Rong An stopped what he was doing. He looked up, meeting her gaze calmly. Qu Yunyao was taken aback. What did his expression mean? The next second, he said, Only the Princess can fire me. Youdo not have that authority. Qu Yunyao, stunned, gaped at him: You But by the time she formted a response, the man was already engrossed in his task again. Qu Yunyao stood there, livid. Her teeth sunk into her lower lip, and her hands clenched into fists. A dog is indeed the mirror of its owner! He was merely a bodyguard from the Mo Family, how dare he show such insolence? Before her anger could erupt again Its fixed. Rong An stood up, finished. Qu Yunyao was shocked. So quickly? She rushed over, bending down to operate theputer. It was indeed fixed and, more importantly, her script was still there. Looking up, she realized that she was alone in the living room. The bodyguard Had he just walked out? How condescending! ** A ringtone echoed within the car. Xiao Yebai nced at the screen and answered the call, Rong An. Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Weiyi quickly turned her attention. Young Master Xiao, Miss Bingsputer was indeed broken. It seems to be due to a virus from a website. Hmm. After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi shot a barrage of questions his way, What happened, Xiaobai? Why did Rong An call you? Did Qu Yunyao cause more problems? Or is it a family matter? No, its nothing. Xiao Yebai focused on the road, I asked him to drive to the hospital to pick you upter. Oh. ** Forty minutester, at the hospital Mo Weiyi pushed open the door to the hospital room, seeing Xiao Zhiwei propped up in her hospital bed. The room was eerily empty, with Xiao Depeng and Zhang Liya nowhere in sight. Brother! Xiao Zhiwei straightened hurriedly. Her gaze held on Xiao Yebai for a moment before turning to Mo Weiyi, Miss Mo. Mo Weiyi, dressed in a long, beige dress with a golden shawl draped over, her voluminous reddish-brown curls cascading freely, was the picture of elegance, beauty, and arrogance. Once settled on the sofa, she turned to Xiao Zhiwei squarely, Werent you going to apologize? Get on with it. A brief moment of difort shed across Xiao Zhiweis face. Her hands clenched and unclenched beneath the nket before she finally spoke, Im sorry. I was wrong in the past. I hope that as my sister-inw, you can show me mercy and not dwell on my past mistakes. Mo Weiyi tilted her head, fidgeting with her curls, Youre Xiaobais sister, and I am your sister-inw. Since youve said that, dont worry, Im not going to hold it against you. She concluded her statement with an innocent yet dazzling smile. Xiao Zhiwei: She detested Mo Weiyis arrogant demeanor. It was as though everyone had to be inferior to her, she was always at the top, dictating and intimidating Ruthless and domineering! Chapter 188 - 188:188, Xiao Zhiwei, who are you pretending to be a saint for? Chapter 188:188, Xiao Zhiwei, who are you pretending to be a saint for? Trantor: 549690339 Is there anything else? Mo Weiyis voice sounded again, as she looked at Xiao Yebai with a sweet and charming smile, Youve seen the person, and youve apologized. Xiaobai, lets go home. Wait a moment. The one speaking was Xiao Zhiwei. Mo Weiyi turned her head towards her, Do you have anything else to say? Xiao Zhiwei clenched her hands tightly, then said, I have a friend who will be here soon. He has helped me before. Now, he is in trouble and needs help Xiao Zhiwei! Before she could finish, Mo Weiyi interrupted her, The reason Xiaobai has been helping you, as well as your pair of leech-like parents, is because you are his family members, but now, youe to Xiaobai for help when your friend is in need. Do you think this is too much? Some things, helping you is favour, not helping is justifiable, Xiaobai has absolutely no obligation to help your friend. Miss Mo. Xiao Zhiwei looked at her, Youve always been treated like a princess since childhood, living afortable and smooth life, getting anything you want, but do you know how many people in this world are leading unsatisfactory lives? This friend of mine once saved me. His father is gone in a car ident, his mother is ill, and he has suddenly been diagnosed with cancer, which will cost five to six hundred thousand in medical expenses. He just graduated from college this year and started working. He cant afford the medical expenses. But what does six hundred thousand mean to the Mo family? What does it mean to you, Mo Weiyi? I bet, the money you spent on a few clothes in the mall is much higher than this amount, right? What do you mean by that? Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, Just because I spend hundreds of thousands on clothes, I have to help your friend? Xiao Zhiwei smiled knowingly, So, its just six hundred thousand. Are you, the princess of the Mo family, so stingy? Mo Weiyi found this the most annoying about her. She always spoke with sarcasm, as if being born into a good family, having money, and being beautiful was her fault?! Xiao Zhiwei continued, My friend really has no other choice. He has borrowed from all his rtives and friends he can. I dont have any savings, and my parents dont have money, they cant help. Upon hearing this, the mans gaze slightly shifted. It was fleeting. Your Royal Highness, cant you show some pity? The more she said that, the more Mo Weiyi resisted, Why? My money isnt just blown in by the wind. Who says I must help if you ask me to? But that money isnt earned by you, its my brother! He works hard every day, exhausts his efforts to earn money. You only need to take out six hundred thousand to help others. Wear a few less clothes, wear fewer nes, and you can save a young life. Cant you even do this? Mo Weiyis lips twitched slightly, Xiao Zhiwei, if I remember correctly, when you first came to my house from Tongcheng, it just happened to be your birthday. I treated you like a sister and personally selected a jade bracelet for you with my gift money. As a result, you deliberately smashed it on the ground pretending it was an ident! You know, that bracelet was worth more than two hundred thousand. Howe you didnt have such enlightenment at that time? If I didnt know you, I would almost think you are a kind-hearted person who ran from somewhere! Who are you pretending to be a goody-two-shoes for now? Arent you ashamed of yourself? Mo Weiyi! Xiao Zhiwei looked embarrassed, I didnt know that bracelet was worth two hundred thousand at the time, and I really didnt mean to Enough with your quarrelling. Xiao Yebai finally spoke up, The Mo family donates to charitable organizations every year. Later, you can let your friend contact Zhong Kai. If all the information is correct, the Mo family will donate to him in thepanys name. He spoke in a calm tone, As for Weiyi, just like she said, she has no obligation to help others. In the future, dont bother her for things like this. Xiao Zhiwei did not say a word. As for Mo Weiyi, who was originally in a good mood, looking bright and beautiful, wanting to show off her love, ended up having an inexplicable argument, leaving her in a bad mood. She stood up with the help of her crutches, Xiaobai, I want to go home. Xiao Zhiwei nced at the time, estimated in her heart, and said, Brother, I thank you on behalf of my friend. Ill have him contact Mr. Zhong shortly. Hmm. Xiao Yebai said and then helped Mo Weiyi leave. Once they were in the hallway outside, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but grumble, Whats wrong with your sister? Is she deliberately trying to upset me? Cant she ask for help in a nicer tone? All she does is belittle and mock me, it annoys me. And whats all this about me buying clothes worth hundreds of thousands? Did my buying clothes bother her too? Really There was a ding sound. Xiao Yebai said, The elevator is here, lets go. The elevator door opened, and a young man in a denim jacket walked out. When he saw Mo Weiyi standing outside, his eyes lit up instantly. Mo Weiyi had seen this kind of gaze too many times. She frowned her elegant eyebrows, lowered her head, and looked away. The two quickly entered the elevator, and the door closed. The man stood in the hallway, staring obliviously. It took him half a moment toe back to his senses and finally enter Xiao Zhiweis ward.. Chapter 189 - 189:189, Setting a Trap Chapter 189:189, Setting a Trap Trantor: 549690339 Here, your porridge. I had to stand in line for ages to get it, he said. Xiao Zhiwei smiled, Thank you. Song Quan put the porridge down, sat on the sofa, and fell silent. Xiao Zhiwei had been observing his expression since he walked in. She opened up the bag, took out the porridge and asked, Whats wrong? Song Quan didnt say a word. Judging by your anxious looks, did you see a beauty or something? At these words, Song Quan burst out inughter, Thats why they say youre my old me. We domunicate well, dont we? So, you did see a beauty? said Xiao Zhiwei, with a coldugh. Ever since I met you, I knew you were a chronic womanizer, shameless to the core. You lose all reason at the sight of any slightly pretty girl. Thats too harsh, The one I saw this time is different, Song Quan touched his chin, recalling with a suggestive smile, Shes different from anyone Ive seen before. Her looks, her grace, the way she dresses, shes clearly from a wealthy family. Beautiful skin, very pretty face She was a bit thin. Still, overall, she was lovely and pure. If only he could spend one night with her What does she look like? Tell me about it. Interrupted from his daydream, Song Quan said irritably, Even if I describe her, you dont know her! I may not, but Ive been in this hospital for a while and I know the nurses well. They might know who youre talking about and I can ask for you, she answered. Interested now, Song Quan quickly described, Shes tall, wore a white dress and a shawl, and her hair was unusually long I see, was she with a man? Didnt notice that. All he saw was the woman Excitedly, Song Quan asked, Do you really know her? Xiao Zhiwei nodded, A few nurses were chatting here earlier, they mentioned a stunning girl who just arrived in the next room. Apparently, shes the campus belle of Nancheng University Campus belle? Song Quans eyes sparkled, No wonder shes so stunning. So, shes the campus belle Give it up. Shes a nice girl from a good family, unlike me. You charmed me with sweet nothings. Xiao Zhiwei scorned him, Have a look at yourself. Youre just a small fry with nothing to your name. Shes out of your league, and shell never take you seriously. Cant I just wish? Song Quan red at her irritably. Then keep daydreaming. But remember, Im leaving for Tongcheng tomorrow. If you get in trouble or get beat up, dont drag me into it. Let it go, eat your food! Song Quan picked up his phone and started fiddling with it. While Xiao Zhiwei was eating her porridge at a leisurely pace, she watched as Song Quan was engrossed in his phone, and a smug smile appeared on her face. Song Quan is a small-time thug in Nancheng. Hes not the smartest, but he knows a lot of local ruffians. Sometimes he also runs around causing trouble with some rich kids. Back then, she was in a self-destructive phase, indiscriminately hooking up with all kinds of men Thats how Song Quan became her boyfriend for a while. But he was too flirtatious and she wasnt the kind of beauty that hed never get tired of. So, their breakup was inevitable. After they broke up, she was sent by the Mo family to study in Los Angeles. In the four years since, they hadnt seen each other until two days ago when they ran into each other in the hospital garden Sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways. And how could she not take advantage of a man like Song Quan? She knows him too well. Naturally flirtatious, lecherous, and audacious. He fantasizes about any pretty girl. Mo Weiyi, clean and attractive, is his type. Why should she be the one who ends up sick, forced to go back to Tongcheng and marry a man she doesnt love, while Mo Weiyi enjoys smooth sailing in love and life? Little Princess, its high time you tasted the bitterness of life. ** After the weekend, a new week arrived. Every Monday morning, its a tradition for all students at Nancheng University to gather for the g-raising ceremony at eight oclock. Today was the first g-raising ceremony of the term, and Su Wanwan didnt want to bete. After breakfast, the driver took Fu Ziyang to Wellington Academy and Huo Jingshen was responsible for sending Su Wanwan to Nancheng University. Upon reaching the school gate, she checked the time. Seven fifty. Bingo! Su Wanwan unbuckled her seatbelt, Im leaving. Her hand had just touched the car door Wait, a deep male voice suddenly said, noticeably displeased. Baby is just leaving like this? Looking puzzled, Su Wanwan turned around, Whats wrong? Huo Jingshen looked at her, raising an eyebrow, Goodbye, kiss. Su Wanwan: Seeing her silent, Huo Jingshen was straightforward, Kiss your husband before leaving. Su Wanwan coughed nervously, then looked forward, backward, left, and right. Huo Jingshen: As expected, Su Wanwan said, This is the school gate, full of people.. What if my ssmates see us? Chapter 190 - 190:190, President Huo’s image has collapsed. Chapter 190:190, President Huos image has copsed. Trantor: 549690339 Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened, What does it matter if you saw it? This car of yours is way too expensive and shy. What if my ssmates see it and think Im being kept by a rich old man? Huo Jingshens handsome face instantly turned even darker, Am I a rich old man? Su Wanwan: You think your handsome and attractive husband is an old man? Su Wanwan chuckled dryly, Im runningte, I should be going. She quickly turned to get out of the car. However With a click sound, the car door locked. It wouldnt budge. Exin before you leave. His voice was cold and angry, Whos the old man, hmm? Su Wanwan turned to re at him, exasperated, Cant you be a bit more mature? She felt like ever since they got married, his cool demeanor hadpletely copsed! Forget feeling mature and elegant, now hes just acting like a brat! Huo Jingshen nced at her, raising an eyebrow leisurely upon hearing herment. Su Wanwans cheeks went red. Going home for the weekend had been an ordeal. Such a shameless man! Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement and radiance as the morning sunlight poured in through the car window, casting a golden glow on his features. Damn old fox! This is the first time shes found an older man attractive. With her cheeks flushed, she looked at him, a hint of embarrassment unknowingly surfacing in her eyes. In the past, Su Wanwan really despised the smell of smoke, even feeling nauseous at the slightest whiff. But now, shes not sure if its because shes spent too much time with him but she has actually gotten used to his smoky scent. In fact, sometimes she even finds it attractive Good girl, lets go. Oh. Su Wanwan got out of the car in a daze, not even sure how she managed. It wasnt until the ck Mu Shang car slowly drove away and the powerful prelude of Athletes March suddenly rang out from within the campus that she snapped back to reality. She quickly covered her flushed cheeks with her hands. Oh my god, did my ssmates see? No one should have noticed, right? Su Wanwan quickly took a look around, then hastily darted into the school entrance. * * After searching for 10 minutes, Su Wanwan finally found her ss lines, slipped quickly into the girls line, and stood at the very back. Still, someone came over to pick a fight. Su Wanwan, could you pleasee earlier next time? All the ssmates are here, except you. Do you even feel sorry? reprimanded Lin Qiao, d in South Universitys uniform and looking every inch the role model student. Su Wanwan pressed her lips together, Got it, Committee Member Lin. Lin Qiao was the literature and artsmittee member in their ss. Lin Qiao red at her and turned around, Everyone, be quiet! The g-raising ceremony is about to start. Be respectful! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. She just couldnt be bothered with her. Such a petty official, shes acting like a big shot! Soon, the g-raising ceremony was over. Su Wanwan didnt see Mo Weiyie over, so she gave her a call, Weiyi, are youing to school today? Not going, Im so tired. What did you do to be this tired? Su Wanwan asked casually. What else could I do? I was making love with Xiaobai. Su Wanwan had a face full of ck lines. Do you really need to be so proud and straightforward about that? Youre at school by eight thirty? Wanwan, it seems like your Mr. Huo is not up to par, you guys are newlyweds, he should be capable of seven or eight times a night Erm, I am going to sign up for clubs, you go back to sleep, bye-bye. Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone after saying that. That Mo Xiaose! Really, she cant stop talking about adult content! She simply cannot have a normal conversation Hey, beautiful! Beautiful! Beautifuldy with the blue bag! Su Wanwan finally realized and looked over at the source of the voice. Beautiful. A chubby senior was smiling cheerfully and waving at her, Interested in pottery? Come join our pottery club! Only two sses a week and you can earn academic credits! Su Wanwan grimaced, Sorry, Im not interested in ceramics.. Chapter 191 - 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand Chapter 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand Trantor: 549690339 I How could you not be interested? Do you want to have a trial first? Have you ever watched Ghost? In it, Sam and Molly made a pottery under beautiful music. It was so romantic, so aesthetically pleasing, so full of love Our pottery club also has many handsome guys. Hey, beauty, dont go yet! Su Wanwan quickly left in embarrassment. It was the day for college clubs to recruit new members. She was beautiful and a fresh face, so wherever she went, there were boys warmly greeting her. However, she was not interested in them at all. Things like pottery, flower arranging, bamboo carving, go, drama She wouldnt even bother to join any clubs if it wasnt for the credits. In the end, Su Wanwan stood in front of the e-sports clubs recruitment table. Hi, girl, do you want to join our e-sports club? the bespectacled senior warmly invited. Su Wanwan asked, Do you have any requirements? Do you normally like to y games? Either on PC, or mobile? I y mobile games, Su Wanwan said decisively, Arena of Valor, PUBG, Speed Drifters, I can y them all. I rank in the top three in every region. Im utterly wicked! Wow, thats great! We have many divisions in our club, you can indicate which one you are more interested in on this form. Having said that, the senior then called someone, Shuhao, Jian Shuhao! Su Wanwans eyelids twitched. The boy who had been busily writing lifted his head. Indeed, it was Jian Shuhao. This junior is interested in joining our mobile game division. Please serve her No need, Su Wanwan interrupted him, I dont want to join anymore. What? The senior was surprised. Su Wanwan turned and left. Su Wanwan, Jian Shuhao caught up with her and directly stood in front of her, Why did you decide not to join the club? Is it because of me? Su Wanwan felt her eyelids twitching more intensely and quickly said, No. Then why? Are you afraid that Lin Qiao will misunderstand? Before Su Wanwan could respond, he quickly said, Then theres even less reason to worry because Lin Qiao and I have already broken up. Su Wanwan paused slightly. Theyve broken up already? So soon? Thats a pretty fragile rtionship, isnt it? Did they break up because of what happened in the ssroom that day? Our e-sports club is actually really fun, especially the Arena of Valor division. We have club activities every week, such as teaming up for battles, team-building at restaurants, and sometimes even scrimmages vs professional teams in 5v5 matches. In fact, next month, the professional Arena of Valorpetition will begin, and by then, Ill also organize everyone to experience it live on site. After finishing, Jian Shuhao smiled slightly, So, are you interested in joining the Arena of Valor division? Su Wanwan: What to do? It does sound somewhat tempting. The ability to eat, y, and earn credits, all while ying a game she excels at Su Wanwan! A familiar female voice suddenly rang out from behind. Su Wanwan turned around and saw Lin Qiao walking towards her with a fierce momentum. Once she arrived, she immediately raised her hand to p her. However, Jian Shuhao quickly stopped her. This made Lin Qiao even angrier. She first looked at Jian Shuhao, then at Su Wanwan, How dare you, you shameless wench. Youre trying to seduce my boyfriend right in front of everyone! Youve got no shame! Youre a vixen! Do you not get enough satisfaction from all those old men? Youre nothing but a green tea bitch! Her words were too offensive, and Su Wanwan couldnt help it, she pped Lin Qiao right across the face. An Ah! of surprise, apanied by the sound of a crisp p, echoed simultaneously. The noisy scene went silent all at once. Under the scrutiny of all eyes, Lin Qiao covered her face, her rage and shame red after the initial shock. Being pped in public, how could she bear it? Therefore, she bit her lips and with resentment, lifted her leg to kick Su Wanwan. The scene immediately devolved into chaos. Two female students were openly fighting, and while there were many spectators, nobody stopped them. It wasnt until a stern rebuke resounded, What are you doing! A teacher is here! Its Professor Su! Professor Su is here Lin Qiao was pulled back by Jian Shuhao, and Su Wanwan took the opportunity to kick her leg again. As a result, the rebuke became even more severe, Su Wanwan! You dare to kick again! Su Wanwan withdrew her leg and looked at the figure standing on the side C Su Yunrong. She was dressed in a dark suit, her hair was up, and she was wearing sses, the standard attire of a professor. She appeared stern and serious. This is a school, and you two are girls. You just finished raising the national g, and now youre fighting? In front of so many ssmates, are you not ashamed? Professor, Su Wanwan hit me first. She even tore my uniform! Lin Qiao pulled open her uniform to show her. Two buttons had fallen off, leaving only thread. Her white shirt underneath was creased horribly. Not to mention her messy hair, the fresh red print of a p on her face, and the tears of grievance in her eyes It was all very convincing. Su Yunrong immediately turned to Su Wanwan, Whats going on? School just started, and youre bullying ssmates? Bullying? Su Wanwan looked at her, so angry sheughed, You dont even ask for rification and chose to believe her? This isnt how a teacher behaves, right? Aunt. The word aunt not only changed Su Yunrongs expression, but also astonished everyone around them. Professor Su is actually Su Wanwans aunt? What a coincidence. Chapter 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand Chapter 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand

You dare to kick again! Su Wanwan withdrew her leg and looked at the figure standing on the side C Su Yunrong. She was dressed in a dark suit, her hair was up, and she was wearing sses, the standard attire of a professor. She appeared stern and serious. This is a school, and you two are girls. You just finished raising the national g, and now youre fighting? In front of so many ssmates, are you not ashamed? Professor, Su Wanwan hit me first. She even tore my uniform! Lin Qiao pulled open her uniform to show her. Two buttons had fallen off, leaving only thread. Her white shirt underneath was creased horribly. Not to mention her messy hair, the fresh red print of a p on her face, and the tears of grievance in her eyes It was all very convincing. Su Yunrong immediately turned to Su Wanwan, Whats going on? School just started, and youre bullying ssmates? Bullying? Su Wanwan looked at her, so angry sheughed, You dont even ask for rification and chose to believe her? This isnt how a teacher behaves, right? Aunt. The word aunt not only changed Su Yunrongs expression, but also astonished everyone around them. Professor Su is actually Su Wanwans aunt? What a coincidence. Chapter 192:192, Dressed up kind Chapter 192:192, Dressed up kind
Trantor: 549690339 | Half an hourter, at the schools administration office. What exactly happened? the Director of Studies asked with a serious look on his face.
Its Monday today, and all students must attend the g-raising ceremony. He had just gotten busy when he was summoned to handle a fight. The main characters of the fight were two female students. Its ridiculous! You are university students now, youre in your third year, youre twenty years old. Adults! And yet youre still fighting in school? Arent you embarrassed? he added. Lin Qiao immediately replied, Teacher, it was Su Wenwen who hit me. The Director of Studies didnt bother to argue, and directly said, Each of you will go home and write a self-reflection paper of no less than three thousand words for me! One hundred course credits will be deducted! Su Wenwen didnt speak, but Lin Qiao started yelling,Why should I be punished? It was obviously Su Wenwen who hit me! She even tore my school uniform. I demandpensation! The Director of Studies frowned, It takes two to tango. Why would she hit you out of the blue? Lin Qiao said, Shes shameless, seducing my boyfriend. Your boyfriend? Su Wenwen mocked, Are you sure hes not your ex-boyfriend? Lin Qiaos face turned white and then flushed, We are just having some issues right now. So youre taking advantage of that and trying to step in.
Su Wenwen let out a coldugh, I told youst time, I am not interested in second-hand goods. Are you deaf? Or are you a fish with a seven-second memory? I dont care, Lin Qiao turned to the Director of Studies, If I am to write a self-reflection paper and have my credits deducted, her punishment must be more severe because her mistake is more serious than mine. The Director of Studies face darkened at this remark. Su Yunrong who was standing aside finally spoke up, No matter what, it is wrong to fight in school! Today there was a club recruitment event, and all present were first-year freshmen. The impact was very negative. Professor Su is Su Wenwens aunt. Of course she would side with her niece! Lin Qiao called out. Su Yunrongs face turned ugly in an instant. Finally, with a loud smack, the Director of Studies couldnt hold back and smacked the table, Whats wrong with you! If you are not convinced, I will call your parents. Upon hearing the threat of being called on by her parents, a look of fear finally shed across Lin Qiaos face. She is not a local of Nancheng. She entered Nancheng University because of her literary talent. Her parents were very proud of her and would never rush to Nancheng from far away just because she fought And she really couldnt afford to lose face like that. You too! The Director of Studies turned to Su Wenwen, If you dare to cause trouble in school again, I will call your parents too!
Su Wenwen: ** After leaving the administration office, Su Yunrong stopped and said, Lin Qiao, you can go. Wenwen, you stay. Lin Qiao huffed and stalked off. In the corridor, Su Wenwen stood there with a detached and aloof expression on her detailed face, Professor Su, do you need something from me? What is your attitude? Su Yunrong frowned, Im your aunt, is this how you talk to your elders? Su Wenwen looked at her, I dont think theres anything wrong with the way I speak. Arent you Professor Su? Did I make a mistake calling you that? When there were other people around, werent you righteously not showing favoritism? Now there are no outsiders, who are you putting on this act for? You Su Yunrong clenched her fists and told herself to stay calm and not stoop to a childs level. After taking a deep breath, she finally said, Your grandfather will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow. He especially asked me toe to school and tell you to bring your husband and have a casual meal at home. Im not going, she replied abruptly. Surprised, Su Yunrong asked, Why not?
I dont want to, was her response. Su Yunrong sighed, If its because of Yanyan, I already heard from Yuntang, they misunderstood you. And whats more, Yanyan is going to finalize her divorce from Yuyun today. She did wrong and she paid the price. But still, you are family, and shouldnt air our dirtyundry. Cant you be a little more understanding Why should I be understanding? Su Wenwen coldly interrupted her, When Su Yanyan lost her child, everyone thought I purposely pushed her. Why didnt anyone then say that I was family? Why didnt anyone trust me? Or stand on my side? Why should I suffer this injustice? Why do you feel free to doubt me every time something happens and frame me? Now that you know it was a misunderstanding and shes been driven out by the Xing Family, Im not supposed to be dissatisfied? Otherwise, Im deemed as being unreasonable? Ha, if you disliked me so much, why did you keep me in the Su family in the first ce? And since you did keep me, why didnt you ever treat me fairly like a true daughter of the Su family? Faced with Su Wenwens sudden outburst, Su Yunrong was at a loss for words. Feeling a wave of painful bitterness welling up inside her, Su Wenwen abruptly turned around. She stood straight with her back turned, her voice just as cold and firm, Tell grandpa I will never go back to that home. Regardless of whether Im sessful in my future or not, or whether I live or die, I will never go back. Having said that, she quickly walked away. ** Su family, second-floor bedroom. Su Yanyan had been crying non-stop ever since she returned from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Mom, I dont want to go to South Korea, I want to stay in Nancheng. I have been epted into university already, why are you sending me to study in South Korea Yanyan sobbed. Jiang Yi let out a helpless sigh. But with things having escted to this, what other choice did she have? Chapter 193:193, Spend Money Like Water Chapter 193:193, Spend Money Like Water
Trantor: 549690339 Mom, please beg dad again for me, mom Su Yanyan clung to her arm, crying incessantly. All Jiang Yi could say was, The incident in the hospital the other day was caught by reporters on the scene. If it werent for the Xing Familys efforts to smoothen things out, the news would have had a significant negative impact on both families. Especially given that your father is undergoing evaluation for a formal bureau position, all eyes in the Broadcasting Bureau are on him. If news about youes out at this time
So for Dad to be bureau chief and for his career, did you unconditionally agree to Xing Familys demand? My divorce with Yun brother is not enough? Now to send me to South Korea? Su Yanyan could not believe that her father, who had cared for her dearly since childhood, would treat her like this. Yanyan, this is the best decision we could negotiate. Plus, South Korea is close to home, and I can visit you each month. I could even live with you over there I wont! Su Yanyan sobbed loudly, I have never left home since I was little. I dont know Korean, and my English isnt good, I dont want to go, Mom, I really dont want to go. Her cell phone suddenly rang. Jiang Yi picked up the phone, Sis. After ending the call, she got up and said, I will have Aunt Yang packyour luggage in a while. I need to go downstairs now. Hearing this, Su Yanyan raised her foot and kicked all the suitcases on the side to the floor. * * Downstairs in the living room. Su Xueqin was reading a newspaper in his wheelchair.
Dad. Jiang Yi called out. Su Xueqin didnt react. Jiang Yi squeezed her hand and walked over to say, My sister just called me. She said your phone is unreachable. She found Wanwan at school and talked to her about having dinner together tomorrow, but Wanwan declined. She also said. Bang. The newspaper was thrown on the floor, making quite a loud noise. Jiang Yi was frightened into silence. -What else did she say? Su Xueqins voice was cold and stern. Jiang Yi quickly said, She also said, no matter how she lives in the future, she will never return to this home. Hearing this, Su Xueqins old face tightened instantly. His hand gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, turning pale and then blue due to force. Jiang Yi looked at the old mans expression and added, The Huo Family was present at the hospital that day. Although Wanwan got the marriage certificate a while ago, the Huo Family has nevere to our home, and then this incident happened Some things are better left unsaid.
Su Xueqins lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes, behind his reading sses, were sharp and deep. No one knew what he was thinking. * * The next day was Su Xueqins birthday. It also happened to be Teachers Day. In the morning, just after two sses, Su Wanwan received a call from Mo Weiyi. They met at the entrance of the school cafeteria ten minutester. The Little Princess was still dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with Rong An trailing not far behind in ck. -Why did youe to school today? Su Wanwan was curious. Isnt there a Teachers Day g this afternoon? I was bored at home, so I came
to watch. The g doesnt start until 3 pm. Why are you here so early? I came to have lunch with you. Mo Weiyi affectionately took her arm, Im getting tired of eating Jiang Aunts food at home every day. The chopped pepper fish head in the small cafeteria upstairs is so delicious. I hurried over here. It just opens for business at eleven. Are you serious? Su Wanwanughed. A princess who could get anything she wanted was actually craving a dish from the campuss little cafeteria? It tastes really good. Have you not tried it before, Wanwan? Lets go, its on me. Su Wanwan rarely had a chance to eat in the cafeteria. She would usually just queue up downstairs and bring food back to her dorm. But today, entering the upstairs cafeteria, she found a different world. The small cafeteria was decorated in an ancient style. It was clean and tidy, with waitstaff, almost like a restaurant outside. The main offering was Hunan cuisine. Stepping in, a strong smell of chili hit their noses, a smell that never failed to provoke the appetite. As soon as Mo Weiyi sat down, she started ordering enthusiastically, I want chopped pepper fish head, dry pot frog, boiled pork slices, sticky rice ribs, organic cauliflower, blueberry yam Thats enough, stop. Su Wanwan quickly stopped her. Indeed a tycoon, even for a mere lunch, she had to splurge money as if eating avish feast. And a jug of freshly squeezed papaya juice, Mo Weiyi added. Can we not have papaya juice today? Su Wanwan made a face, I havent finished the ones you sentst time. Then honey passion fruit juice, if not for breast enhancement, lets nourish our skin, brighten and whiten it. Women should treat themselves better! Su Wanwan: Soon, the first dish of blueberry yam was served. Su Wanwan had just taken a bite when her phone suddenly rang. Wanwan, Mrs. Huos voice came through the receiver, I will be at the school gate soon. Get ready and rush over to apany us to the hospital. Su Wanwan was taken aback, Whats wrong, Grandma? Whos sick? Its your grandfather. His heart disease suddenly red up, and hes being treated at the hospital. Su Wanwan hung up the phone and quickly stood up, Weiyi, I can t eat with you. Whats wrong? I have an emergency and need to go to the hospital. -Whos sick? Ill go with you! Mo Weiyi put down her chopsticks as she spoke. NO need, you injured your foot so its not convenient. My grandmother and the others havee to pick me up. Su Wanwan didnt have time to exin, I must go now, I may not be able to apany you for the g this afternoon.. Chapter 194 - 194:194, verbally reject but physically accept Chapter 194:194, verbally reject but physically ept Trantor: 549690339 I Its alright, you go ahead, dont forget to call meter. Okay. Su Wanwan rushed out quickly. Yet, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but sigh. Eating alone at home and now also eating alone at school! How boring! As the dishes were served one after another, Mo Weiyi decisively picked up her cell phone. The call was quickly answered, and a stiff voice said, Princess. Rong An,e up and eat with me. Princess, Im not hungry. But I dont want to eat alone,e here and eat with me. Princess, Im not hungry. Get over here now! If you dont, Ill get angry! Alright, princess. Mo Weiyi: How irritating. She had to say it three times before he agreed. All men are like pigs, always dishonest with their feelings! Mo Weiyi, you came to ss? Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded. Mo Weiyi raised her head, looking at the few girls who came in from outside. They were all third-yearw students. The one speaking was Li Feifei, a ssmate and roommate. A local from Nancheng, quite simple and in in her first year. However, in her second year, her familys house was demolished, and they received a lump sum of money, making them nouveaux riches overnight. Her style changed dramatically after that. She began to show off her wealth, quite vain, and liked to brag about any good thing she acquired. Mo Weiyi looked at Feifeis outfit. Are you participating in a program? Not just her, everyone was wearing a white shirt with a red-checkered pleated skirt. They looked like they were in uniform for a performance. Yes, ourw department has a dance program. Youve been injured, so you havent been able toe to sses. We considered asking you to be the lead dancer, Li Feifei ttered. Mo Weiyiughed, Me, the lead dancer? Right, you can dance traditional folk dances, right? I remember in our freshmen year, during the military training performance, you danced a solo to Farewell to the Red Army, and you won first ce, Li Feifei admired earnestly. Mo Weiyi had seen a lot of such ttery. Right now, she gave a nd response, It doesnt matter, Ill watch you guys. Then, she casually flicked her curled hair. Whats going on? Why is Rong An so slow? Thats great, lets go to the auditorium together after we finish eating, Li Feifei invited warmly. After finishing, she also adjusted her curled hair. As anticipated, Mo Weiyis expression was a bit stunned. These earrings are quite pretty, she then added. A proud smile shed in Li Feifeis eyes quickly. She swept all of her hair behind her ears, revealing the beautiful red earrings, and said deliberately, These earrings were a gift from my boyfriend. The girls around her immediately began to make a fuss: Wow, we were all envious earlier! Feifeis boyfriend is too good to her, always giving her all kinds of things. Last time he even gave her a Gi dress! Yeah, yeah! Envious and admiringments from the crowd made Li Feifei feeling very proud, but she acted aloof on the surface. Just now, she saw Mo Weiyiing to the canteen for dinner. She guessed that Mo Weiyi woulde to the small canteen, so she specifically suggested to her dance partners that they should eat upstairs. Her guess proved to be correct. All along, Mo Weiyi had been recognized as the campus beauty by the whole school. In thew department, she was a goddess unreachable for both male and female students. She came from a distinguished family, was beautiful, had a good sense of fashion, and even got a handsome husband. Even unassuming skirts, bags or small essories would be photographed by interested parties and posted on the school forum. Then everyone wouldment on and enjoy them. Some even went to buy the same or high imitation ones. But now, she was the one everyone was focusing on, and in front of Mo Weiyi! What a great feeling this is. Mo Weiyi seemed actually interested in the earrings. She asked, What does your boyfriend do? Li Feifei smiled, He works at a foreignpany. This prompted a wave of praises: So your boyfriend is a white-cor elite! No wonder hes so rich! Hes really good to you! These earrings must be very expensive! How much are they? How should I know? said Li Feifei with a shy smile, I just wore them because I liked how they looked, and they go well with todays dance costume. If I remember correctly, Mo Weiyis voice rang out, These earrings are from Shinores ssic limited edition series. They were priced at 100,000 RMB two years ago and must have appreciated several times by now. The minimum price must be over 200,000. This remark caused a wave of gasps: Oh my God, is it really that expensive? Feifei, your boyfriend is quite generous! Your boyfriend really loves you! Feifei, youre so lucky! Even for Li Feifei, this statement left her with some difficulty maintaining herposure. Oh. The earrings are that expensive? ** Meanwhile. When Su Wanwan and Mrs. Huo arrived at the hospital, Su Xueqin had already been sent back to his room. In the corridor, the Su family was huddled together, sobbing and weeping. Mrs. Huo, Jiang Yi quickly went up and met her. Su Wanwan gave everyone a cold look before asking, Why did Grandpa suddenly have a heart attack? Jiang Yi exined softly, Its Dads birthday today, he had a sudden heart attack during dinner, so we quickly brought him to the hospital. Luckily, he was saved in time, theres no big danger. The doctor said that as long as he rests well for a while, hell be discharged.. Chapter 195 - 195:195, show operation Chapter 195:195, show operation Trantor: 549690339 Amitabha, its good that shes fine. Old Lady Huo patted Su Wanwans hand, consoling, Ashen will be here soon, Wanwan, dont worry too much. In the corner, hearing these words, Qiao Zixins heart gave an excited jump. She hadnt seen Huo Jingshen for a long time. Originally she thought since it was Su Xueqins birthday today, the Huo family members woulde together to celebrate, but due to the issue with Su Yanyan, not only did Huo Jingshen note, even Su Wanwan did not go home. All the effort she put into her outfit was wasted. Then unexpectedly at the dinner table, Su Xueqin felt a heartache after a little bit of wine, and was taken to the hospital. Jiang Yi then called the Huo family. And sure enough, the Huo family immediately rushed over. She felt like she was riding a roller coaster, with her heart constantly fluctuating between joy and worry. Thinking of seeing Huo Jingshenter, she was even more excited. She had to refresh her makeup. Eyeing everyone, she quickly turned around and headed for the restroom. After a while, the door of the sickroom opened, and Nangong Ci stepped out with several medical staff. Wearing a white coat, with a stethoscope hanging on the chest, he looked perfectly professional, with a serious expression. Director, when can my father wake up? Jiang Yi quickly stepped forward to ask. You realize the urgency now? Where were you earlier? Cant you, as his children, be a little considerate? Your father is old and had just undergone bypass surgery a few months ago. His recovery ability is already poor, yet you have been upsetting him. It is simply intolerable! Jiang Yi exined, Today is our fathers birthday, he just had a little wine at noon Drinking whilst not fully recovered from a heart condition? Why didnt you dissuade him? Nangong Ci angrily rebuked. Su Yunrong nced at Su Wanwan with clear implications, then asked, When exactly can our father wake up? Why the rush! Nangong Ci had no intention of saving face. Suppressing his anger, Su Yunrong said, I have urgent business at two oclock. Theres an important meeting at the bureau Is the meeting more important, or is your fathers health more important? Nangong Ci scolded again. Su Yunrong looks very unhappy. This deputy director was only in his twenties, almost twenty years younger than him. Just a brash young man, yet he dared to publicly reprimand him. What exactly is the situation inside? Old Lady Huos voice finally rang out impatiently. Having listened this far, she only saw this young man scolding others. Turning around, Nangong Cis expression did aplete one-eighty, he reportalmost cheerfully: Old Lady Huo, Little sister-inw, dont worry, Grandpa Sus condition has stabilized. After the medication takes effect, he should wake up. Then, heughed and asked, When can my big brothere? Old Lady Huo replied, He said he was finishing up the meeting when he was on the way, he should be here soon. Alright. Nangong Ci nodded, and looked at Su Wanwan, Little sister-inw, hows your arm? Still hurting? Caught off guard, Su Wanwan quickly reassured, Its alright now. As expected, Old Lady Huo looked at her curiously, Wanwan, what happened to your arm? Old Lady Huo, you probably dont know yet. Nangong Ci immediately began to narrate, adding fuel to the fire, and fundamentally reigniting the hospital situation that day. Due to his narration, Su Yunrong and Jiang Yi again felt embarrassed, their faces burning hot. Su Yunrong and Qiao Jianye also felt somewhat uneasy. Having heard the whole story, Old Lady Huos expressionpletely changed. However, with Su Xueqin still lying unconscious inside, she could not publicly chastise them. She could only sigh, In this matter, Wanwan was wronged. Exactly. Nangong Ci followed with a sigh, If it were not for my alertness, having people conduct an investigation first, and then calling my big brother, this false murder usation would have really been ced on little sister-inw! Not only that, but she would have been falsely charged, and the damage isnt just limited to her arm. Tsk, tsk, tsk, womens hearts are truly poisonous! After finishing, his eyes kept ncing at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi could only apologize in a low voice, In this matter, we really wronged Wanwan, its all my fault. I didnt discipline my daughter well, I was momentarily blind Yanyan has now divorced Yuyun, and she will go to South Korea to study tomorrow. She also knows that she was in the wrong. In the future Since there is nothing serious, Ill head off to ss now. Su Wanwan impatiently interrupted her. Knowing the truth of the matter, Old Lady Huo did not insist any further, and directly picked up her phone, Ill call Ashen and tell him not toe. Sudden ringing from a phone came from behind. At the same time, the deep voice of Huo Jingshen came over, Im already here. In the corridor, a tall and imposing man was holding a phone, shutting off the ringtone. Nangong Ci looked over and squinted, Oh wow, big brother, your phone case is quite unique. Phone case? Su Wanwan took a closer look. Embarrassing. Huo Jingshen was dressed in a suit and shiny leather shoes,pletely donned in a meticulous and mature elite look, yet in his hand was a phone with a ck Mickey Mouse phone case. It was really quite discordant! Old Lady Huo was also taken aback. This oldest grandson of hers, who had always been mature, steady and introverted, was well-known for being meticulous and particr due to being a Virgo. He always paid great attention to the taste of life. When did he start to like these yful things? Huo Jingshen quirked an eyebrow at that, lifting his phone to take a look with utmost calmness. Then he calmly replied, Yeah, its a new couple matching phone case that my wife just bought. Would not let me not use it.. Chapter 196:196, eating dog food Chapter 196:196, eating dog food Trantor: 549690339 I SuWanwan: What a jerk! When did I insist that he has to wear it! And its non-negotiable? It was his own decision to wear it in the first ce! Down the hallway, Qiao Zixin happened to hustle over just in time to witness this scene. A twitch formed at the corner of Nangong Cis mouth. Damn it! What a jerk! Ever since they got married, his big brother was getting more and more frivolous. Before, he was just introverted, at least he hid some of it, but now hes simply too obnoxious! Old Madam Huo chuckled heartily and waved her hands, Okay, okay, stop making us all envious. Your father-inw is okay, but it will take some time for him to wake up. SuWanwan: =,=! Even the olddy knows about unting your love life? Huo Jingshen nodded and then looked at Su Wanwan, Baby, have you had lunch yet? At this statement, even Nangong Cis eyes began to twitch. Baby? Damn it! Big brother! Can you consider the feelings of us single people? Su Wanwan cleared her throat. Huo Jingshen shot him a nce, Apart from you, who else here is single? Big brother, how can you insult people! Nangong Ci protested, and then pointed casually, Miss Qiao is also single. Qiao Zixin, who was inexplicably singled out, stiffened her face and almost exposed her jealousy Huo Jingshen said indifferently, Do you think everyone is like you, unable to find someone? Nangong Ci was furious: Who said I cant find anyone? The nurses in the hospital are lining up for me to choose, I just dont fancy any of them. Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen heheughed and proceeded, Im going to take my baby to lunch. Excuse us. With that, he took Su Wanwans hand and turned to leave. The man handsome, the woman beautiful, holding hands, tsk tsk tsk, cherished in the eyes of Old Madam Huo. A few days ago, she was worried that the young couple was having troubles, but now it seemed that they were very loving! It seems that she would have a great-grandchild soon! After the two entered the elevator, Qiao Zixin quickly turned around and re-entered the womens bathroom. In the cubicle, she took out her phone and dialed a number. Bingbing, its me. Ive considered what you told mest time, I will resign in the next few days and report to you. I havent had any experience in this field before, so when the timees, you have to help me. After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zixin slowly let out a breath. Jealousy was growing wildly in her heart like a weed, contorting her expression. ** Huo Jingshen drove to a restaurant called Xiaoye Yuan. It seemed to be newly opened; there were still flower baskets at the entrance. Inside, there were various nts and flowers, a small bridge running water, bamboo chairs, and even some ancient farming tools line along the corridor. Its a theme restaurant owned by a friend. Lets give it a try, said Huo Jingshen. Su Wanwan nodded, and while looking around, she asked, Is this restaurant going out of business? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow yfully, Why would you say that? There are no customers here, and its decorated veryvishly. Is your friend very rich, and likes to act cultured? He is quite rich, Huo Jingshen said, he also has a PhD in ancient literature. No wonder. An image of a doctorate man instantly popped into Su Wanwans mind. A middle-aged man, bald, likes to wear long robes, swings his folding fan, wears those retro round sses, and speaks like Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain. The waiter led them to their private room. The restaurant was vast, with a winding main hall. Inside, it was even more unique. Finally, they stopped at the door of a private room called Yanshui Pavilion. After they sat down, Huo Jingshen had just ordered a few dishes when there was a stirring of voices in the corridor. Good day, boss. Su Wanwan quickly nced at the door, then saw Chu Xiuhuang walk in. Dressed casually, hands in his pockets, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, his eyebrows raised, he had a badass air about him. Uh. Su Wanwan was taken aback. How was he the legendary boss? Yo, why didnt you tell me you wereing for lunch? After saying this, Chu Xiuhuang looked at Su Wanwan, Little sister-inw, you were unsupportivest time, not even helping your own family in front of outsiders. Huo Jingshen looked at him, Family? Whats wrong, big brother? Chu Xiuhuang removed the cigarette from his thin lips, and exhaled a smoke ringzily, his phoenix eyes teasing and wicked, Isnt your wife also my family? With that, he took a seat. The next second. Big brother, when did you start using phone cases? Tsk tsk, what a stupid pattern. So crude, no taste Su Wanwan darkened her face. Stupid? Crude? No taste? Huo Jingshen was about to speak when thud. Chu Xiuhuang also got a shock. Su Wanwan took out her little phone and mmed it on the table arrogantly. She didnt speak, just gave him a sidelong nce. Pff! Chu Xiuhuang burst outughing, Holy shit, its a couple phone case! Absurd! Huo Jingshen gave him a cold look, Looks like youre asking for a beating. Chu Xiuhuang coughed a few times. Just then, his phone rang. He immediately stood up, Well, you guys eat, Im busy. With that, he turned and slipped away.. Chapter 197:197, lack of virtue in the Five Elements Chapter 197:197,ck of virtue in the Five Elements Trantor: 549690339 Sweetie, dont stoop to his level, Huo Jingshenforted his miffed wife, hescking in love, and therefore hes envious. Howe I havent noticed himcking love? Su Wanwan hummed twice, picked up the cup in front of her, and took a sip, Every time I see him, its with a different girlfriend, all of whom are quite beautiful So many girlfriends, yet he cant keep any of them. He either has issues with his thoughts or his body has hidden problems. Puff! Su Wanwan directly spat out the sip of tea. Huo Jingshen patted her back and then said, In the future, just avoid him when you see him. Whats wrong? Dishonest intentions, and hecks virtue, Huo Jingshen said with a straight face. Su Wanwan: Her husband indeed had a sharp tongue! ** At this moment, someone had no idea he was being ndered. He picked up a call in the hallway. What is it? Mr. Chu, have you arrived at the Xiaoye garden yet? Miss Huang has called me more than a dozen times, shes been waiting for you at the Yuyun Pavilion for over an hour Yeah, yeah, stop rushing me. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted impatiently and began to walk towards the inner pavilion. Mr. Chu. The womans voice was heard again, Miss Huang is the granddaughter of your grandfathers old friend. She has just returned from studying in Japan, majoring in screeny writing, and has published works in numerous foreign magazines and newspapers. She has also participated in the script of several award-winning films Alright, alright. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted impatiently again, Why are you so long-winded, cant you mind your business and stop interrupting my date? Mr. Chu. The womans voice once again maintains its formal and solemn tone, I just want to tell you that Miss Huang is different from your ex-girlfriends. The old master really hopes that you can have a sessful blind date with her, he asked me to tell you Shut up! Alright, Mr. Chu, I hope you have a pleasant date, goodbye. With that, the woman hung up the phone abruptly. Chu Xiuhuang stopped in his tracks. This secretary She was bing bolder by the minute! Challenging him from time to time, and now she dared to hang up on him? Needs punishment! A few minutester, Chu Xiuhuang pushed open the door to the Yuyun Pavilion. Hello! The woman inside immediately stood up, You must be Chu, right? I am Huang Shijia. Unlike Chu Xiuhuangs casual attire, she was dressed elegantly and decked out meticulously, apparently having prepared meticulously for this date. Chu Xiuhuang walked in and pulled out a chair to sit, propped up his legs suavely, with a cigarette butt in his mouth. He raised a brow, his phoenix eyes examined her from head to toe. His gaze was direct, crude, and full of disdain, making him seem frivolous. But because the man was quite good-looking, the womans face gradually flushed and she became bashful. Finally, Chu Xiuhuang began, Pretty cute girl, havent had stic surgery, have you? Huang Shijia stammered, Huh? Your chest is also quite big; its not fake, is it? Huang Shijia was dumbfounded again, What? Alright,e to Room 7 on the roof of the mansion tonight. I prefer not to use condoms, remember to prepare your own contraceptives. As he finished speaking, Chu Xiuhuang put out his cigarette, got up and left. Just as he was leaving, Mr. Chu, please wait. Chu Xiuhuang clucked his tongue and halted. These gorgeous floozies indeed had no patience at all. He turned around impatiently, only to have a cup of tea thrown in his face. ** After lunch, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan back to school. Seeing the ck phone on the dashboard, she couldnt help but say, Or, you could stop using this phone case? Earlier, her two friends had already made fun of it. If he went to thepany and his subordinates or bosses from otherpanies saw it Or maybe you could change to a different pattern? Su Wanwan suggested again, The current pattern was something I bought because it was cheap. It is indeed a bit childish and may damage your image. Huo Jingshen gave her a nce, his eyebrows raised slightly, Its a gift from my baby, who dare to have an opinion? Su Wanwan didnt speak, but couldnt help but curl the corners of her mouth. The solemn delivery of words of love was truly something. Upon arriving at the school gate, Huo Jingshen suddenly said, Tonight, Ill pick you up, and well have dinner in the mansion. Su Wanwan was surprised, Tonight? Yeah. Huo Jingshen stopped the car and said mysteriously, And bring Ziyang to meet his grandparents. I see. Su Wanwan didnt give it much thought. After all, the kid had already been in Nancheng for half a month. It was indeed time for him to meet the elders. After getting off the car, she checked the time. It was past two. There was still time to attend the three oclockte banquet. Immediately, she dialed Mo Weiyis number, only to find out that she had already gone home. Werent you going to the party? Su Wanwan asked. Not anymore, Im pissed off. What happened? Who upset you? Nothing, gotta hang up now, Ill tell you all about it tomorrow at school. Okay. ** In the car, Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, squeezed her brows and clenched her hands. She could not help urging, Rong An, when will the information you had someone check be ready? Rong An calmly drove the car, Princess, be patient. Mo Weiyi: Looking frustrated, she looked out the window and noticed that the car had already arrived at Lishui Bay. The area outside the residential area was quite lively, and there were several kids ying football. Suddenly. Rong An, stop the car, stop! The ck Audi came to a sudden halt by the side of the road.. Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop Trantor: 549690339 I Mo Weiyi pushed open the back door of the car, leaning on her small crutch, she got out of the car with a limp and headed towards the flower shop. Miss, would you like to buy flowers? We just received a fresh shipment of champagne roses today Im not here to buy flowers, Im here for you. Mo Weiyi stood there, tall and elegant, her skirt swaying gently as she moved. Her long auburn curls fell upon her shoulders, her graceful beauty was truly breathtaking. The store owner, a middle-aged woman in her forties, was taken aback. Youre looking for me? Mo Weiyi nodded, then pointed her tiny hand at a child ying. That boy in a red coat, who is he to you? The store owner looked in the direction she pointed, then responded, Hes my nephew. Why? Were you the one who had him deceive me a few days ago? The owner turned pale and denied it, What are you talking about? So, you still wont admit it? That afternoon, around five or six oclock, you had him pretend to be a child selling flowers and imed that he would be scolded by his mother if he didnt sell all the flowers before it started to rain. He gave me a bouquet of wilted flowers with insects hiding within the petals. The bouquet was thrown away by my maid the next day. I gave him a hundred yuan back then Miss, are you here to cause trouble? The owner quickly interjected. She looked Mo Weiyi up and down. She was dressed very exquisitely, and she was very beautiful, save for the crutch she relied upon. So, instigating a child to scam people and yet you refuse to admit it now? Do you have any proof? The owner pulled her sleeves up in a defiant manner. Ive been operating this shop for several months and all the locals know me well. Are you making a fuss because youre jealous of my sessful business? So, youve only been open for a few months. That exins why you dont know me and thought of me as a pushover. Mo Weiyi never went shopping by herself, and the store owner didnt know her, nor remembered any such incident. Resolute in her denial, she argued, Without evidence, you are just framing me! She then called out to the boy, Xiaojun, Xiaojun,e over here. The boy named Xiaojun quickly ran over. The store owner bent down, cast a warning nce at the boy, and asked, Xiaojun, do you know this woman? Have you sold flowers to her? Woman? At the sound of this address, Mo Weiyis pretty face went pale. Did she look like an olddy to their eyes? The boy nced at Mo Weiyi and then at the store owner, before shaking his head, timidly replying, I dont know her. The shop owner instantly looked triumphantly at Mo Weiyi, Did you hear that? Xiaojun says he doesnt know you and has never sold you flowers. Mo Weiyis hand trembled in anger, Do you think I didnt see you signaling him? Hes just a child and yet youre distorting the truth, teaching him to lie. What kind of elder are you? I think youre the one trying to nder us! Despite being so attractive, youre disabled. Seems like God is fair after all. Youre an adult bullying an eight-year-old boy. Arent you ashamed? Youre acting exactly like a wicked woman flowing with harmful intentions! Upon seeing her rampant and triumphant look, Mo Weiyi yelled, Rong An,e here! Rong An, who had been watching from afar, promptly walked over. He was a tall, well-built man in a ck suit, his expression stern and unyielding. The store owner grew anxious, What are you going to do? Teaching a child to lie and scam people, then refusing to own up. This is clearly a shady business. Rong An, destroy this flower shop for me! At Mo Weiyismand, Rong An walked over, picked up a pot of flowers, and without blinking dropped it to the ground. Oh my god, Im being bullied, call the police! I need to call the police! Immediately, the area turned into chaos. ** An hourter, Mo Weiyi stormed into the vi, fuming. Rong An followed behind her, his face expressionless. In the living room, Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa, pouting and ring at him, Why didnt you hit that woman? Princess, you only ordered me to wreck the shop, not to hit anyone. Mo Weiyi: Then she said, Cant you be a bit more flexible? I cant believe she had the audacity to call me a cripple. Im so angry! Princess, the damage cost us two hundred thousand. So what about two hundred thousand? This is what she gets for insulting me! Even if it cost me ten million, Id still make sure her business was destroyed! And also, get some of your guys to cause a ruckus outside her shop every day, I want to make sure her business fails! Rong An: Luckily, his phone rang. Princess, I have to take this call. Mo Weiyi sat on the couch, still fuming. Princess, youre back. Aunt Jiang hurried down from upstairs, she took a bag out of the entrance cab. Princess, this was delivered yesterday. Mo Weiyi nced at the servant. Ever since the incident with the earrings, she couldnt bring herself to trust anyone fully. Princess? Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and finally epted the bag, What is it? Seems like a watch. Mo Weiyi casually opened the bag and took out the box. Upon seeing the content, she was taken aback. It was the mens wristwatch that she had admired in the boutique that day. She remembered it costing well over a million yuan. Who sent it? A clerk from the store delivered it. Mo Weiyi: She immediately put the wristwatch back in the bag and grabbed her phone. Just as she was about to make a call, she suddenly hesitated.. Chapter 199:199, nauseous! Chapter 199:199, nauseous! Trantor: 549690339 This Chu Xiuhuang clearly sent the watch over intentionally. Theres no point in calling him, he might even toy with me. Hes so good at sweet-talking, and Id never beat him at that. What the hell, is it because I left him at the altar? Does he have to dwell on it like this, pursuing me relentlessly, clingy to the point of annoyance? What should I do? At this moment, Rong An walked in from outside, Princess, the information has been sent to your phone. Mo Weiyi picked up her phone and opened WeChat. Then, she raised her head, Aunt Jiang, how long have you been working here? Aunt Jiang looked at Mo Weiyi, and although she found the question a little strange, she still answered, For two years now. And how have I treated you during these two years? Mo Weiyi asked again. Aunt Jiang hurriedly said, The princess has been very kind to me. And Aunt Jiang, what do you think of me as a person? Seeing her emotionless expression, Aunt Jiang began to feel a little uneasy. But as she didnt really know what was going on, she braced herself and continued to answer, Youre a very good person, princess. Youre especially kind to us, your subordinates. Is that so? Mo Weiyi looked at her, her pretty face cold and bleak. She truly trusted Aunt Jiang. This mansion wasrge, and aside from the driver, Old Liu, several maids alsoe to work during the day. But Aunt Jiang was the only one she had personally recruited. She remembered when she first moved into the mansion after her wedding, Aunt Jiang was responsible for cooking for the construction workers. She was efficient and concise, and the food was decent, so she asked if Aunt Jiang wanted to stay and continue working here. Over the two years, Mo Weiyi believed she had been fair with her pay. Knowing Aunt Jiangs financial circumstances werent good, the wages she provided were several thousand more than the market rate. Whenever there was anything to eat, use, or wear she would always share with Aunt Jiang, or directly give it to her. Whenever it was a holiday or festival, and Aunt Jiang requested time off, Mo Weiyi would always readily agree. But now, she found that all her trust had been misced. The feeling was like biting into an apple that seemed perfect and tasted sweet, only to find a worm in the remaining half She felt sick to her stomach! Mo Weiyi pinched her fingers, then said, I understand now. You can go off work first. Aunt Jiang was surprised. But the little princess was always childlike in her temper, short-lived and unpredictable. So, she nodded, Princess, Ill leave for home now. Mo Weiyi said nothing. As Aunt Jiang packed up and left, the living room remained quiet. After a long while, Mo Weiyi finally spoke up, Rong An, are you really sure that Aunt Jiang took my earrings? Rong An answered stiffly, Princess, youve already seen the evidence. But she can deny it. The file indicated that Li Feifeis boyfriend, Guo Xingyu, was Aunt Jiangs son. He had just graduated from college and was working as a junior employee at a foreignpany in Nancheng, earning just over 10,000 a month. He certainly couldnt afford to buy those earrings worth 200,000, and Aunt Jiang just happened to be working here. Just like the flower shop owner just now. She denied that the kid scammed me, and even the security guard didnt back me up. I ended up having to pay for it! Although she had vented her anger by smashing up her shop and didnt mind the 200,000pensation as it was chump change to her, but It still annoyed her. Every time she thought of the shop owners hateful face, she couldnt help but get angry! Princess. Rong An proposed stiffly, I can search Aunt Jiangs house. If she stole other things, there must be some she hasnt sold off yet hidden at home. What if she only stole that pair of earrings? Then break her arm, or leg. If she still refuses to admit it, send her and her son to the police station Forget it. Mo Weiyi said, rubbing her temples, Help me summon a courier first. I need to send out this watch. Alright. Rong An took out his phone, prepared to leave Wait. Mo Weiyi stopped him, Dont tell Xiaobai about this yet. Rong An looked at her. Ill handle it. Rong An: Okay. ** That night. In the militarypound, the Huo Family residence. Old Madam Huo, humming a little tune, walked out from the kitchen. Old man, stop reading. Ashen and Wanwan will be home soon, and the kid ising too. Have you prepared the red envelopes I asked you to prepare? Old Mr Huo frowned impatiently, Its not even your child, what are you bustling around for all day? Thats where you dont understand. If were good to the kid, when Wanwan sees it, shell think we really like kids. Then she wont worry about her own child being uncared for and maybe Ill get to hold my great-grandchild soon Old Mr Huos face darkened at hearing this. What kind of bizarre logic was this woman following? It was all twists and turns. Given the IQ.of his daughter-inw, itll be a miracle if she understood! Old Huo, youre all home, huh? A booming voice suddenly came from the door. Old Madam Huo turned around, Old Chu, what brings you here? Old Mr Chuughed heartily, walked up and casually flipped his left wrist, Oh nothing, my grandson Ahuang just had someone send me a watch. I want you guys to take a look, how much do you think this watch is worth? As soon as he heard this bragging, Old Mr Huos face darkened even more.. Chapter 200: 200, deal! Chapter 200: deal!
Trantor: 549690339 I Old Lady Huo looked down, My, this is a luxury watch isnt it? It has to be worth more than a million. More than a million? Isnt it too expensive? Old Lord Chu chuckled with satisfaction, then continued to grumble, This stinking boy. He knows my birthday ising up, so he gets in early with a gift. At least hes somewhat dutiful.
Old Lord Huo humphed twice, picked up his newspaper indifferently, and resumed reading. Old Madam, should we use the crucian carps to make a soup or braise them? a servants voice asked from the kitchen. Old Madam Huo quickly replied, Make soup out of them. Are we expecting guests? Old Lord Chu inquired. No, Ashen is bringing his wife over for dinner. Your boy, Ashen, already found a wife? Old Lord Chu eximed, both surprised and envious, In that case, I must give her a good look. I havent even met her yet. Shell be here soon. My granddaughter-inw is absolutely stunning! ** The beautiful granddaughter-inw was currently shivering in the passenger seat. Huo Jingshen hade to pick her up from school, but he had brought not only Fu Ziyang with him but also KO. Even though KO was sitting in the back seat with Fu Ziyang, Su Wanwan was still terrified and held her guard up, prepared for the worst if KO decided to pounce on her like he had done before at the airport.
KO doesnt bite. Dont be afraid. Huo Jingshen put one hand on her head tofort her before starting to drive. Su Wanwan didnt respond. Actually, she didnt even dare to make a sound. Fu Ziyang knew that his little Auntie was scared of dogs, so he tried to hold KO in ce, but still Maybe KO hadnt been brought out for a while. Just a few minutes into the drive, they passed by arge billboard in downtown with a sultry model featured on it. Seeing the model, KOs eyes gleamed and he opened his mouth to let out an excited howl, Awoo! Ah! Su Wanwan screamed and threw herself at Huo Jingshen out of shock The ck Mu Shang car hissed to a stop by the side of the road. And then. Baby, are youtrying to seduce me?! Su Wanwan was clutching his neck for dear life, almostpletely climbing on top of him, and her hands kept scratching around.
Meanwhile, in the back seat, KO was howling even more excitedly because the car had stopped, Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! His howls had rhythm and intensity. Between KOs howls and Su Wanwans screams, it wasplete chaos in the car. Finally, Huo Jingshen said, impatiently, KO, if you continue howling, you will have to get out of the car and run home yourself. KO: Seeing the stern expression on his owners face, KO whimpered and buried its head into Fu Ziyangs arms. Seekingfort. Fu Ziyang patted KOs head, instructing it with his sweet voice, KO, be good and quiet. KO didnt dare make any more noise. Otherwise, it would be the first dog in Nancheng to be kicked out of a car and to run home by itself. Huo Jingshen also patted the littledy in his arms, Its okay, KO is just too captivated by beautiful women.
Hearing this, KO seemed unhappy. How does the saying go? The dog follows its masters lead! Its because of your teachings that Im like this! However, KO didnt dare protest, and could only wag its tail discontentedly. Su Wanwan began to calm down but was still too frightened to lift her head and whispered, in a voice like that of a mute ostrich, Im scared. The smallss was usually fearless and audacious, unafraid of anything and could even stand up to him. But now, she was shivering and whispering about being scared. Huo Jingshens heart instantly softened. He gently stroked her head andforted her with his soothing voice, Dont be, dont be. Hubbys here, sweetie. Little Auntie, Fu Ziyang also said, KO is actually a good boy and doesnt bite. You dont have to be scared. Ill keep him on a tight leash. Huo Jingshen rubbed her back, See, even a five-year-old child is braver than you. Su Wanwan: Damn it She didnt want to be so timid either. But she had been bitten by a dog when she was young, and the mean dog had chased her for an entire block. The fear was so deeply ingrained that just seeing a dog would make her scared, let alone seeing a gigantic ck dog like KO. Ill put on some music. You dont have to look back. If youre scared, hold my arm. In his arms, Su Wanwan remained stiff for a while before finally nodding after he spoke. Huo Jingshen let go of her and turned on the cars stereo. Throughout the drive, Su Wanwan sat close to him, her arms around his right arm and her body tense as if she were sitting on pins and needles. As soon as they arrived at the military districtpound and the car stopped, Su Wanwan immediately let go of him, jumped out of the car, and sprinted towards the house. Huo Jingshen: What an ungrateful wretch. She discarded him as soon as she didnt need him anymore. Wanwan is here. Hello Grandma, hello Grandpa. After greeting the elders, Su Wanwan bent down to change into slippers. But before she could change Lord Chu, quick, look at my granddaughter-inw. Su Wanwan quickly lifted her head. Lord Chu, a skinny, elderly man dressed in a ck robe appeared in her line of sight. He had an elegant and graceful manner, a semi-white beard, and was dressed like a storyteller. Wanwan, this is your Grandpa Chu. Hello, Grandpa Chu. Su Wanwan promptly greeted him in the sweetest voice.. Chapter 201: 201, killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own Chapter 201: killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own
Trantor: 549690339 Is this the eldest granddaughter of the Su family? Mr. Chu strokes his beard, Last time I saw her, she was just a little girl. How did she grow up so fast? He looks at Su Wanwan, jealousy increasing with each nce.
The young girl had bright and white teeth and was dressed simply, carrying a refreshing air about her. In contrast, his grandsonspanions were shy, tacky women, none of which pleased him. Just then, Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang walked in. Upon seeing Fu Ziyang, Mr. Chus envy deepened, his voice raised several decibels. Why has the child grown so much? The Huo and Chu families, residing in the same courtyard, shared simr circumstances. Both had lots of grandchildren, now of age, and yet none of them had settled down. As a result, both families oftenpared their grandchildren, much to the neighborhood gossip. Feeling pleased about receiving an unexpected birthday gift from his eldest grandson, Mr. Chu had strutted over to rub it in Mr. Huos face. s, the tables were now turned, and he was the one feeling envious. Sometimes you hurt yourself to defeat the enemy! This is not Ashens son. Mrs. Huo exined,ughing. Its his friends kid. Hes been living with him while studying in Nancheng. So thats how it is, Mr. Chu said with relief. However, there was still something that Why is this boy and Ashen look so alike? Mr. Huo, who had been quiet all along, looked at Fu Ziyang with a deep frown. Mrs. Huo continued to exin, They both look handsome. Of course, they look alike!
So thats how it is. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Despiteughing, Mr. Chu silentlymented. Handsome? Are they as handsome as my Ahuang? Do they? Xiuhuang should being soon. Huo Jingshen interjected. Hearing that, Mr. Chu snorted loudly, Give me a break! That unfilial grandson of mine, gallivanting around with no regard, ying the field. Not a single decent girl among them, all inte celebrities, models, actresses Can such women be trusted? Thats not good. They cant be depend on! Mrs. Huo added. When choosing a bride, one should choose someone like Wanwan, a college student, pretty, and responsible. Ashen indeed has good taste. It was love at first sight for them. Ha ha ha ha. Su Wenwen: =, = Ah. Mr. Chu clucked his tongue in disapproval, Ashen and Ahuang have grown up together. Howe their taste in women is so different? Su Wanwan once again, =, = Laughing at the praise for her grandson, Mrs. Huo consoled the old man, You shouldnt worry. Isnt Xiuhuang younger than Ashen? Younger by what, only by two months! Hes about to be thirty! Mr. Chu, for someone like Xiuhuang, you should arrange more blind dates. Huo Jingshen suggested seriously. Hecks experience, and all his girlfriends arent dependable. The family elders should intervene. Ashen has a point. Mrs. Huo agreed right away, Just like our Nuanyang, nearly twenty-nine and still without a girlfriend. He blushes and stammers around women So I often ask elder friends to introduce him to girls with good backgrounds.
However, this only aggravated Mr. Chu further, Speaking of which, a friends granddaughter just returned from studying abroad. A good girl, well-mannered. But you know what he did? On their first date, he suggested going to a hotel! My friend gave me an earful over the phone. Hepletely tarnished my reputation! Seriously, what sins did the Chu familymit to end up with such a rascal? Thats it! I have to call him right away; this little scoundrel is going to be the death of me The angrier Mr. Chu grew, the more he felt the urge to leave. After Mr. Chu left, Huo Jingshen let out a low chuckle. Su Wanwan: Has he just retaliated against Chu Xiuhuang? Its stressful to be his friend. This old man is petty and holds grudges. Ashen. Mr. Huo suddenly called in a stern tone, Follow me to the study. Old man, its past six oclock, almost dinner time, and you want to talk about work?! Mrs. Huo shot her husband a nce, You guys start eating. Huo Jingshen rose, Grandma, you, Wenwen, and Ziyang start eating. Ziyang, this is your great-grandmother. Hello, great-grandma. Fu Ziyang said obediently, before turning to Mr. Huo, Hello, great-grandpa.
Good, good, good. Lets go, Ill take you to have something delicious. Mrs. Huo fondly held his little hand, Wenwen, lets go have dinner. Okay. Fu Ziyang, with his beautiful looks, polite manner, yet childish voice, was already five years old and well-behaved. Mrs. Huo liked him a lot. Soon, Mr. Huo and Huo Jingshen came in from outside. Once they had taken their seats, Mr. Huo stared nkly at the well-behaved Fu Ziyang for a long time without making a move. Husband, whats wrong? Snapping back to reality, Mr. Huo finally reached for his chopsticks. What were you thinking about? You looked so absent-minded. Mrs. Huo said with augh, Go on, bring over the red envelope.. Chapter 202: 202, son of a dog Chapter 202: son of a dog
Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwans eyes brightened. She was getting another red envelope! Her grandparents really loved her. She then saw old Mr. Huo get up and leave, quickly returning with a thick red envelope in his hand, which he ced in front of Fu Ziyang.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Ziyang, thank old Grandpa. Fu Ziyang opened his little mouth and solemnly said, Thank you, old Grandpa. Good boy. Old Mr. Huo gazed at the sensible little fellow, unusually tender-hearted. His face smiled with kindness, the corners of his eyes even slightly moist. Old man, old Mrs. Huo wore a stunned face, What happened to you? Huo Jingshen coughed twice. Old Mr. Huo sighed, gradually calming down, Lets eat. Su Wanwan didnt notice the old manspse, fixedly concentrating on eating her food. How embarrassing. She had just assumed that she had another red envelope, but it turned out it was for Fu Ziyang She felt a little foolish. Its a good thing she didnt reach out to take it
* * After dinner, they unexpectedly started ying a childrens show on the living room TV. Ziyang, what kind of cartoon do you like to watch? Old Grandpa will change it for you. Fu Ziyang sat there, his chubby face expressionless. He hadnt watched these kind of idiotic childrens shows in a long time, okay? But seeing the enthusiasm in the old mans eyes, he curved his little mouth, adorably replying, This cartoon is fine, thank you old Grandpa. Such a good boy. Old Mrs. Huo sat nearby, couldnt help but elbow her grandson, hinting with her eyes, Look at your grandfather, he loves children so much. You should hurry up and give us a grandchild to y with, understand? Huo Jingshen looked at his grandmother, suddenly shouting, KO. KO, who was initially lounging on the balcony outside, immediately ran in, shaking its head around old Mrs. Huos legs, circling about.
Then, she heard Huo Jingshen say, Grandma, Wanwan is still in school, so a baby is out of the question right now. We can only raise a dog as our son. Old Mrs. Huo: So? So, Grandma, you can regard KO as your great-grandson. Huo Jingshen said, his face unchanged. Old Mrs. Huo once again: * * After watching one episode of the cartoon, Huo Jingshen stands up, Grandma, were going back. This early? Its only a little past eight. Ziyang has ss tomorrow. Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, ncing at Su Wanwan sitting next to him, meaningfully adding, Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy. The child is still growing, its indeed essential to go to bed and rise early. Old Mrs. Huo didnt think too much of it.
After all, its more than half an hours journey from the courtyard to the vi. Hearing that its owners were leaving, KO immediately stood up on the balcony, only to let out a frightened bark when its dog head peeked into the living room and rmed Su Wanwan. Since Wanwan is so afraid of dogs, lets leave KO behind. Old Mrs. Huo suggested. Yes, yes! Su Wanwan, holding onto Huo Jingshen, urgently said, Lets go, lets go. KO: Why do they have to treat a dog this way! But before it could protest, the three actually left just like that. KO looked at Mrs. Huo, let out a wretched howl Weng Ying,e to the study, I have something to say to you. Old Mrs. Huo was lost, but seeing her husbands serious face, she could only follow old Mr. Huo into the study. KO stood alone on the balcony, for the first time it felt that since it came to China, life as a dog had be challenging. At home it was disliked, and here, it was still disliked! * * Half an hourter, at the Imperial Court vi. Once they were home, Su Wanwan ran upstairs, went into the bedroom, only to find that the man had followed her in, then closed the door. The click echoed like a secret code, startling Su Wanwan. What are you doing? I I have something to do. What? Huo Jingshens voice was deep. Su Wanwan shrunk her shoulders, honestly answering, Writing a reflection. The Dean of Students demanded it by tomorrow, 3,000 words, but she hadnt written a single word yet. Hearing the words reflection, Huo Jingshens expression turned serious, Did you make another mistake at school? Isnt this all your fault! Mentioning this, Su Wanwan felt a surge of anger, You dropped me off at school, and a former high school ssmate saw us. She thought I was being kept by an old man, always picking on me. Yesterday, I couldnt take it anymore and gave her a good beating. Then, the Dean ordered both of us to write a 3,000-word reflection. Barely changing his expression after a while, Huo Jingshen asked, What shape did you put her in? He had thought these recent days she had been behaving at school, apparently, he thought too much. Anyway, she didnt die! Huo Jingshen once more: Would you help me write it, then! Su Wanwans eyes brightened suddenly, ttering him, The English homework you helped me writest time was praised by the teacher! They said you write very well! Huo Jingshen squinted his ck pupils, Are you addicted to ordering me around? Did this girl be a little spoiled? Su Wanwans face stiffened, If youre not writing, then dont disturb me. After saying this, she pushed him away, only to be pulled back by Huo Jingshen. Write, write, write. After were done, Ill help you write your homework.. Chapter 203: 203, new officials take office with Chapter 203: new officials take office with
Trantor: 549690339 three fires The next morning.
What are you up to now? Su Wanwan was roused from her sleepy state by Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen asked, Baby, do you have sses this morning? I do, I do, I do! Su Wanwan replied, angrily scratching at him. Wincing from the sudden back pain, Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his gaze a mix of danger and warning, Youre not lying to me? No! Lying! To you! Su Wanwan gritted her teeth. If it werent for Li Mochous English ss this morning, how she wished she could skip sses Right, what about the reflection essay you were supposed to write! Su Wanwan suddenly remembered this important task, You didnt forget about it did you? Huo Jingshen: He truly had forgotten. However I finished it. Ill send it to you once I get to the office. After delivering his lie with a straight face, Huo Jingshen added, And send me your ss scheduleter. Su Wanwan:
Send you my ss schedule? So you can keep track of my schedule and be properly sadistic? Hmph! Id be a fool to send it to you! * * Because he dropped Su Wanwan off at school, Huo Jingshen arrived at the office before nine oclock once again today. As a president who always arrives early to work, it keeps everyone at Huo Yuan Group on their toes. While waiting for only a few seconds for the private elevator, business suit d executives and employees are standing there, anxiously, on thin ice. Finally, the presidents exclusive elevator arrived, and Huo Jingshen walked in. He was dressed in a handmade high-end ck suit, a snow-white shirt free of any speck of dust and a neat, aloof dark blue tie. He looked somehow., splendidly radiant.
He gave a slight nod, and the elevator doors closed. Amotion erupted outside the elevator: Whats up with President Huotely? Hees to thepany before nine oclock every day, so much pressure! Hes not going to run anotherpany discipline overhaul, right? Didnt he justy off a bunch of employees a while ago? Cant help it, a new official likes to show his authority! Terrible * * 50th floor.
Huo Jingshen stepped out of the elevator. As he was passing by the secretarys office, his tall figure abruptly stopped. President Huo, good morning. Ji Jie immediately got up and greeted him respectfully. With a slight raise of his handsome eyebrows, Huo Jingshen opened his thin hps, Write a 3000-word reflection report and send it to my mailbox in an hour. Huh? RefReflection report? Huo Jingshen acknowledged with a noble nod, Recently, youve been cking off in your work. Ji Jie blurted out, President Huo, I apologize, I shouldnt have yed games during work hours. Even though it was just past nine in the morning. Huo Jingshen looked at him, his ck eyes narrowing. ying games? Sneaking game snacks into the office first thing in the morning? His handsome face suddenly darkened, 4000 words, send it to my mailbox once youre done. After saying that, he turned around and left in his usual aloof manner. Ji Jie rapidly picked up his phone. Because Huo Jingshen suddenly showed up, he hadnt been able to check his screen after parachuting, now the screen was ck he was dead. Damn, does President Huo have x-ray vision? He could see him ying games from the door all the way across to his desk? The next second, he suddenly spun around: Who ratted me out! The group of female secretaries exchanged nces. * * Nancheng University. Su Wanwan walked into the ssroom and had just sat down. Su Wanwan. A chubby girl suddenly came over, Can you dance? Why? Theres a wee partying up at school, and our ss has to present two performances, you Im not participating. Su Wanwan stated firmly,pletely unaware that No way, Lin Qiao insists that you, as a new student, must actively participate in ss activities. Su Wanwan: It was that bitch Lin Qiao again! All day long, she wouldnt be happy unless she stirred up some trouble, right? If you cant dance, we can perform something else, its just that there are too many mmi-chorus performances, and as for the skits, Im afraid we wont have enough time to rehearse and memorize the lines Just then, her phone rang, and Su Wanwan quickly said, Okay, you guys decide, just keep it simple. Okay, my name is Zhao Qianqian, Im the ss lifemittee member lets discuss this together after ss. Okay. Su Wanwan felt helpless. After Zhao Qianqian left, she quickly picked up her phone. It was a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi. [Wanwan, Ille to the school to find you this afternoon.] * * Lishui Bay, Mos residence. Sitting on the living room sofa, Mo Weiyi put down her phone. The maid called out, Miss, Ill go upstairs to tidy up the room. Wait a minute. Jiang Auntie turned around. Mo Weiyi brushed her curly hair, her loose beige knitted top and orange long skirt made her lookzy yet sweet, Theres no need to clean up today, apany me to the schoolter. Jiang Auntie nodded, Alright. After a while, Xiao Yebai descended the stairs. He was tall and slender, impably dressed in a sharp ck suit, without a single wrinkle, and paired with his schrly sses, his face was handsome but cold, exuding a certain keep-away vibe. Except, of course, when he was with Mo Weiyi. Xiaobai. Her soft voice cooed, Come and carry your wife to breakfast. Xiao Yebai came over, and while carrying her, his deep, clear voice asked, Why are you up so early today? To have breakfast with you! Xiao Yebai:. Chapter 204: 204, a toad wants to eat swan meat Chapter 204: a toad wants to eat swan meat
Trantor: 549690339 When they reached the dining table, Xiao Yebai set her down on a chair and said, I need to head to thepany. No way! Mo Weiyi grabbed his arm, her beautiful eyes blinking, with a hint of coquettishness. I specifically woke up early to join you for breakfast. You are not leaving until we finish.
Xiao Yebai stood there, his deep eyes hidden behind his sses shifted slightly, I have a meeting at 10 oclock. Who is more important than your wife? Sit down quickly. I will have breakfast with you and only after we finish, you are allowed to leave. Mo Weiyi freed a hand to pat the chair, herintsing out in fragments, You always skip breakfast before heading to work and like to drink alcohol on an empty stomach. When would your stomach problems improve? Xiao Yebai nced at the watch, after all, he did sit down. Mo Weiyi jumped with joy and wrapped her arm around her husbands, You want to drink milk or soymilk? Coffee. You want to eat Baozi or Egg cake? Sandwich. Watching her struggling to attend to the food, Xiao Yebais thin lips opened, saying lightly, Ill do it myself. No, let me do it for you. Mo Weiyi acted like an obedient wife. Although all food had been prepared by the maid, she was only helping to serve it.
Watching him finish a cup of ck coffee and a sandwich, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but nag again, Is it good to eat these things so early in the morning? But Xiao Yebai checked his watch again, Weiyi, I might bete. If youre runningte, just call them and let them wait. Mo Weiyi took a sip of millet porridge, unconcerned. You are the president, isnt it okay to make your subordinates wait? They are not my subordinates. Xiao Yebais tone was neutral. Then who are they? Mo Weiyi frowned. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his face looked handsome and expressionless. After a while, he finally said in a casual tone, Some investors. We will be discussing the investment n for Mo Familys next quarter. The chairman will also be there. Okay, then I wont eat anymore. Mo Weiyi put down her spoon and stretched out her arms, Xiaobai, carry me back. Xiao Yebai held her up, Aunt Jiang, please clean up the table. Reaching the living room, he set Mo Weiyi down on the couch and said, I have to go to thepany now. Kiss me before you go. Mo Weiyi made another request. Having had breakfast with her husband for once, she was in a good mood.
Seeing her pouting her lips and looking adorably demanding, Xiao Yebais brows and eyes twitched, he bent down. A brief peck. He quickly got up, took his car keys, and left. Young Master Xiao. Rong An wasing in from outside. After greeting him, he slowly walked into the living room and saw that Mo Weiyi was sitting on the couch, engrossed in a detective novel. She was so absorbed that she didnt even raise her head. It wasnt until Aunt Jiang came out of the kitchen wiping her hands that Mo Weiyi put down the novel, Rong An, drive me to school. * * By the time they got to school, it was still early. Mo Weiyi had specifically asked the ss leader for a ss schedulest night. There were two International Economics Law sses this morning.
As soon as she walked into the ssroom, everyone was surprised. After all, Mo Weiyi was the kind of goddess at school that one rarely saw. At the beginning of junior year, it was heard that she had injured her foot and had rarely been seen at school since then. Today she actually came to ss early in the morning! Except for using a crutch, she was still as gorgeous and attractive as ever. Mo Weiyis eyes swept over the ssroom, but she couldnt spot Li Feifei. Just then, the professor walked in. ss is starting, everyone sit down. She frowned and chose an empty seat to sit down. Originally she wanted to wait for Li Feifei. But before she knew it, small notes were being thrown onto her desk. One. Two. Three Mo Weiyi grew impatient and picked them all up and tossed them on the floor. There was a burst of suppressedughter from behind her. Overestimating ones abilities! Told you earlier, our campus beauty isnt interested in you! If shes not interested in me, would she be interested in you? At least Im not like you, a toad lusting after a swan! * * An hourter. Aunt Jiang received a message from Mo Weiyi and quickly headed to the ssroom. Just as she reached the door, Mrs. Jiang? Aunt Jiang was startled by the voice and took a closer look. Feifei? It was her sons girlfriend, Li Feifei. They had just had dinner togetherst week. Aunt Jiang, why did youe to school? Ah, I was passing by, just having a look. But Li Feifei noticed Aunt Jiangs attire. It waspletely different from when they dined together. It was simple and low-profile, without any makeup or jewelry. Aunt Jiang, are you here to see me? Ah? Aunt Jiang stuttered a bit, Not I Im looking for Whom are you looking for? Before Li Feifeis words fell, there was suddenly a voice from behind, Aunt Jiang,e and support me. At hearing this, Aunt Jiangs face changed instantly. Aunt Jiang? Didnt you hear me? Come and support me. Mo Weiyi raised her voice. Aunt Jiang turned around, went over and supported Mo Weiyis arm. The two of them slowly walked over. Mo Weiyi was dressed in cream-colored knitwear and an orange long skirt, leaning on her crutch, her signature emotionless face exuding a kind of haughtiness and unconventional charm. Aunt Jiang on the other hand was supporting her arm, bending over, her head down, being extremely careful and humble like a servant attending a princess! When they reached, Mo Weiyi flicked her long hair, her tonezy yet arrogant, Aunt Jiang, do you. know my ssmate? Chapter 205: 205, the whole world’s parents’ hearts are pitiful Chapter 205: the whole worlds parents hearts are pitiful
Trantor: 549690339 When she got there, Mo Weiyi flicked her long hair with a tone full ofzy arrogance, Aunt Jiang, how do you know my ssmates? Aunt Jiang lowered her head, saying nothing.
Mo Weiyi turned her attention to Li Feifei, Feifei, do you know my familys aunt? She had already used very subtle wording. Yet Li Feifei looked shocked, Aunt? At this point, Aunt Jiang was flushed red, experiencing both embarrassment and dismay. Aunt Jiang, why did you lie to me? Li Feifeis voice rose in sharp disbelief, Xingyu said that your family owns more than a dozen properties in Nancheng, Uncle Guo and you are both investors, and also said that yourpany is nning to open several branches next year, how could you how could you just be a maid? Mo Weiyi: What the hell! She had originally intended to confront Aunt Jiang, but who would have thought the two would begin a confrontation themselves? Their surprise, outrage, and disbelief were raw and genuine, not at all like a sham. So, was it possible that Feifei didnt know that Aunt Jiang had stolen the pair of earrings?
A woman with a fondness for vanity had happened toe across a simrly vain family? This was quite an eye-opener for Mo Weiyi. Li Feifei grabbed Aunt Jiangs arm, continuing her interrogation, The Burberry coat you wore that day, the Chanel bag you were carrying, the BMW X6 you were driving whats going on? I Aunt Jiang stammered, her face filled with embarrassment. Was all of this a lie? Did Xingyu lie to me too? Weve been dating for over a year, and he always found an excuse not to introduce me to you and Uncle, is it because you are not wealthy at all? The vi, the dozens of properties, the branchpanies were all fake! Ok, enough. Mo Weiyi interrupted impatiently with a throbbing headache, Its really not that big of a deal, why are you making such a fuss? Li Feifei looked at Mo Weiyi, almost biting her lip in anger. Just yesterday, she had been showing off her beautiful earrings to Mo Weiyi and all her other ssmates, bragging about how rich her boyfriend was and how well he treated her, but now everything was a lie! She felt like aughingstock because the status she had been unting was worth nothing in front of Mo Weiyi, her boyfriends mother was merely a lowly maid in the Mo family! Mo Weiyi must have deliberately brought the maid to school today just to embarrass her, intending for everyone to see how ridiculous and disgraceful she was! So, when she saw peopleing out of the ssroom, Li Feifei turned around and ran.
Hey, stop right there! Mo Weiyi shouted. But with her leg still recovering, she could only watch helplessly as Feifei ran away. Mo Weiyi was infuriated and quickly pulled out her phone to call the bodyguard, Rong An, get over here now! Princess, Aunt Jiang started pleading while holding her hand, I beg you, please dont fire me. Mo Weiyi frowned, Are you admitting to it? Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiang replied, I didnt want to deceive anyone; its just that we are not well off and my son was afraid that Feifei would look down on him and break up with him, so he had me and my husband pretend to be wealthy What about the clothes, the bag, and that BMW she mentioned? The clothes and bag are what you gave me before, I just didnt dare use them, and the car was rented from a car dealership by my son. Mo Weiyi was shocked that Aunt Jiang still refused to admit her thievery. Princess, Aunt Jiangs voice started to tremble with sobs, My son really loves Feifei and I couldnt bear to let him be disappointed. So, I He is my only son, and I have worked hard to raise him. When he finally met a girl he likes If she is so vain, what does your son like about her? Mo Weiyi was puzzled. Li Feifei was just an average-looking girl,cking temperament and very vain, who loved showing off. Did they really need to bend over backward for her? A parents heart is inevitably biased towards their children, Princess. Just like Chairman Mo with you, when you want something, hes willing to give it to you. We parents just want our children to be happy. Aunt Jiang said as tears streamed down her face. Then, she dropped to her knees with a thud, Princess, I desperately need this job. Please dont fire me, I beg you Mo Weiyi was taken aback. By now, several students had gathered to watch themotion. Mo hurriedly said, Please get up.
However, Aunt Jiang was stubborn, Princess, please dont be angry. Please forgive me. Its all my fault. I promise I wont do it again, Princess Whispers started to spread among the observing students: Shes crying so hard and yet shes not forgiving her. The school beauty is acting too wilful and domineering! All rich people behave like this! Shes too harsh on the poordy ** Meanwhile, at the Mo Group. In the top-floor conference room, Xiao Yebai was sitting on a ck leather chair, quietly looking at the screen projection. His sses entuated his stern side profile, his lips thin and expressionless. Finally, the presentation ended. The secretary turned on the lights, and opened the curtains. The once gloomy conference room was immediately filled with light. In one corner, Qu Yunyao turned her gaze and began to look at the documents on herp.. Chapter 206: 206, Handsome Man Chapter 206: Handsome Man Trantor: 549690339 President Xiao, what you just saw are the trailers for the series of films EMC Company ns to invest in and shoot next year. In my opinion, these films are quite impressive, captivating the modern audiences psychology, with a considerable investment value. We, Qi Ao, are quite optimistic about them, YiXin and Huanyu Media also think theyre worth investing in. What are your opinions after watching them? A bowing investor asked for guidance. Xiao Yebai didnt respond. He hung his head, his slender fingers holding a ck pen. Light from the window cast into the room, causing reflections on his sses, making it hard to discern his expression. His silence created an awkward atmosphere. After a light cough, Mo Yaoxiong spoke up, Our Mo Family has never ventured into the film and television industry. I cant really understand these trailers, but since everyone is optimistic about them, I guess we can consider them. Yebai, what are your thoughts? Please share. Tapping his pen twice on the table, Xiao Yebai finally looked up, his thin lips forming a faint response, Forgive me for being blunt, but I cant really see any potential investment value in these works. Upon hearing these words, that investors face turned dark immediately, and the expressions of other representatives also turned awkward. Therge conference room became so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop. Until Heh. A cold snort suddenly erupted. Qu Yunyao was stunned. Xu Rui mmed the data onto the conference table, abruptly stood up, anger ring as he questioned, President Xiao, what do you mean by that? If Mo Family is not willing to invest, please decline directly. I, Xu Rui, hate people who pretend to know when they dont and people who insult and ridicule art! Didnt you show me the trailer for an evaluation? Xiao Yebais voice stayed level without a trace of emotion. With a loud thud, Xu Rui mmed his palm on the conference table again, Youre free to dislike my concept, but please do not insult my work! To a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. You have only seen a portion of the trailer, and yet you jump to conclusions. This only stresses your superficiality! Director Xu. Compared to Xu Ruis outburst, Xiao Yebai remainedposed and detached, his voice calm and steady, As you said, to a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Why was my opinion interpreted as an insult to your work? Can it be that you prefer silence over feedback on your work? Or is it that Director Xu can only receive praises and cant take any feedback? Xu Rui was rendered speechless. Initially, he considered this young President Xiao, with his pretty and schrly appearance who relied on women to advance in status, merely an empty shell. But to his surprise He was more than meets the eye. He quicklyposed himself and argued, But you dont understand what art is. My trailer is just a synopsis. There are many more exciting parts you havent seen yet! Since youre seeking my investment, shouldnt you havee prepared, presenting the most exciting parts? Xiao Yebai, with his soft voice butpelling urgency asked, I am a businessman. I merely follow the rules of business and principles of economic operation. By showing us a trailer without any highlights and no visiblemercial value, expecting me to invest 10 billion He formed his thin lips into a light smirk, Is this your insincerity? Or do you think all investors are stupid rich suckers? At this point, Xu Rui waspletely stunned. An elegant man adorned in a suit, tie, and thin-rimmed sses unceremoniously spits out the word sucker How incongruous! As for the other investors on-site, their faces turned grim. Just now, to save face for Mo Yaoxiong, they seemed quite optimistic, deciding to invest. But now, they essentially confirmed Xiao Yebais epithet of suckers. They were being openly criticized by a man in his twenties Those with abrasive personalities, those who were older, more experienced C how could they swallow this insult? An executive in his forties stood up and pounded the table, Xiao Yebai, what do you mean by that? If you dont understand art, dont utter nonsense! Just because you dont see its potential C C does that mean we are all wrong? President Fang is right! Another executive in his thirties agreed, Weve consulted with dozens of domestic film critics and scriptwriters. They reviewed the trailers and scripts, and it was after aprehensive evaluation that I decided to invest. Are those film critics and scriptwriters idiots too? Yes, yes. Lius got a point here. I also quite like these works. II II The conference room buzzed with discussions. It seemed somewhat uncontroble for a while. Ahem. Mo Yaoxiong had to get up and mediate, Our Mo family has never ventured into the film and television market. Yebais concerns are understandable. Everyone, calm down first A cell phone ringtone suddenly broke the tension. Under everyones gaze, Xiao Yebai picked up the phone from the table, took a nce, then stood up, Zhong Kai. Zhong Kai also quickly stood up, President Xiao.. Chapter 207: 207, princess and prince? Chapter 207: princess and prince? Trantor: 549690339 Help me see the higher-ups out. Then make the announcement to hold a senior management meeting at eleven to report the aftermath of ourst resort. Yes. Xiao Yebai slightly nodded at everyone, and soon, his tall and cold figure left the conference room. Xu Rui stood there in shock, and the others were looking at each other in disbelief. Was todays meeting over just like that? * * The call came from Aunt Jiang. Mr. Xiao, I beg you, please dont fire me. I have elderly people and children to take care of. I really need this job. Mr. Xiao, please persuade the princess for me, I really cant lose this job What happened? Everyone in the service know Xiao Yebais mobile number, but they rarely call him directly. Especially about these minor things. The princess got angry just now, she asked me to go home and said she didnt need me to work at the vi anymore, no matter how much I pleaded, she wouldnt agree. Mr. Xiao, I really dont know what to do After speaking, Aunt Jiang started crying. His handsome eyebrows twitched slightly, Xiao Yebai said, I understand, I have other matters at hand, Ill hang up now. Setting down the phone, Xiao Yebai sat there, his slender fingers pressing on his temples gently. Mo Weiyi has a sensitive character, but she never gives others a hard time without a reason, let alone Aunt Jiang, whom she had hired herself. * * Chairmans Office. Uncle. Qu Yunyao apologised, Im sorry, I originally thought that since so many people appreciated these works, it should be easy to pass my brother-inws review. I didnt expect that How is it rted to you? Thats just how Yebai is, he is pretty direct and says whatever he wants to say. Is there any room for maneuver? Qu Yunyao asked. Mo Yaoxiong didnt utter a word. In fact, he was unsure himself. Ever since Xiao Yebai officially took over the Mo family two years ago, his decisive and quick actions were even harsher than the old patriarch. Once he decided on something, even if the entire board of directors disagreed, they couldnt change his mind. In handing over thepany, Mo Yaoxiong had peace of mind. Because in these two years, the development of Mo Family has indeed been swift and rapid, not only securing thepanys internal and external affairs, bing proper, along with the Mo Family, they also ranked amongst the top ten wealthy families in Nancheng. From a business perspective, Xiao Yebai is an extraordinary business genius, but the only regret is Xu Rui is just a bit hot-tempered, but hes really talented. Qu Yunyao tirelessly spoke highly of the director, All these works were shot by him in China and the United States over recent years. Although there arent any big stars, the subject matter ispletely fine. Now it only needs a financial injection for the following work, I believe as long as it isunched on the market, it will certainly be a great hit. Mo Yaoxiongs eyebrows furrowed, What exactly is your rtionship with Director Xu? Actually, hes my boyfriend. Qu Yunyao said shyly, I was worried it would put my uncle in a tough spot, so I didnt dare to talk about it. I see. Mo Yaoxiong nodded his head. Xu Jing, this daughter of his, is indeed very considerate. He sighed, This way, you let Xu Rui re-edit the trailer, as Yebai suggested, extract the most exciting parts, andter I will find an opportunity to bring Yebai along, and we can discuss this matter again. Thank you, Uncle! Qu Yunyao was overjoyed. She knew that Mo Yaoxiong would help her for the sake of her aunts face. The Mo Family has been having only sons for several generations. To Mo Yaoxiongs generation, the knees were just Mo Weiyi left. It can be said that in Nancheng, the Mo family doesnt really have any close rtives, moreover with Xu Xian having passed away many years ago, both emotionally and reasonably, they have to look after these few female members left in the Xu family. Sure enough, Mo Yaoxiong said, We are all family, dont be so polite. Qu Yunyao nodded, Uncle, I will head back first, I will cooperate with Xu Rui to re-edit the trailer as soon as possible, and then prepare a detailed n. Watching her, Mo Yaoxiong, as if thinking of something, couldnt help but sigh again, You are only a year younger than Weiyi, I didnt expect you to be so capable already, even helping your boyfriend set up a business. Ah, if only Weiyi could be half as considerate as you. I just helped out a little bit. Qu Yunyao appeared to be humble, but inside, she was blooming with euphoria, And Im also envious of Weiyi, she is so pretty, and the husband she chose is so handsome, and also so excellent, they are the true princess and prince. Princess and prince? Mo Yaoxiong chuckled, considering Qu Yunyaos dreamy ideas as a result of her young age. * * Achoo! In the schools milk tea shop, Mo Weiyi sneezed violently. She wrinkled her little nose. Again, which little bitch was talking behind her back? She nced at the time. Was it almost noon? Had Su Wanwans ss not ended yet? Why was she taking university so seriously for? She pulled out her phone andunched another text bomb. Finally, twenty minutester. Weiyi. Wanwan darling, you finally came. Mo Weiyi waved her tiny hand. When Su Wanwan came to sit beside her, she began pouring her grievances, Do you know, I almost didnt get to see you just now! Ah? Su Wanwan was stunned, What happened to you? Its about Aunt Jiang. Chapter 208: 208, Mo Weiyi’s black post Chapter 208: Mo Weiyis ck post Trantor: 549690339 | After hearing the whole story, Su Wanwan said, You did nothing wrong. Its typical for people who show off in public to do petty theft. She probably thought you wouldnt notice if one or two pieces of your jewelry went missing. But once a thief, always a thief. Its better to dismiss her altogether than having her as potential trouble. I thought so too, but she created such a scene. She was crying, making a racket, and even knelt down in front of everyone. If Rong An hadnt taken her away, who knows how long she wouldve made a scene. After saying this, Mo Weiyi bit hard on her straw. Its all Li Feifeis fault. She ran away as soon as she realized something was wrong. No one even knew what was happening. They probably think I was bullying her. I bet therere posts ndering me on the school forum right now.. Su Wanwan chuckled, Are you afraid of being maligned? When Mo Weiyi was in school, she always dressed mboyantly. She always had bodyguards and nannies following her around. And when she used to go home on weekends, Xiao Yebai always picked her up in a luxury car worth millions. Over time, some students who resented the rich began to gossip behind her back. Especially in high school when she and Mo Weiyi often skipped sses to go to bars. The two of them were not only on the dormitory managers cklist but also popr figures on the school forum. Countless posts were made to nder them, attempting to spread rumors about them. She thought she was already ustomed to such things. Mo Weiyi said, Im not afraid of nder, but I also need to maintain my image, dont I? After all, Im married now. She has to consider Xiaobais feelings. And being wrongly used and tarnished would certainly upset him. Su Wanwan took out her phone andughed, Lets see. To her surprise, there really were nderous posts on the South University forum. And not just one! [Maid weeping and kneeling, Insulted on the spot] [School beauty princess forces maid to kneel and apologize in a bad mood?] [Shocking! Spoiled school beauty publicly berates maid, HD video leaked!] Nancheng is really the top university, even the students who use the forum are masters of sensational headlines the titles are even more stirring than tabloid news. Seeing the look on her face, Mo Weiyi was speechless, So there really are nderous posts? Su Wanwan: No way, I need to find Li Feifei! She needs to clear this up for me! Saying this, Mo Weiyi stood up. Wait a minute. Su Wanwan stopped her friend. She doesnt know that Aunt Jiang is your maid and she definitely doesnt know that the diamond earrings werent bought by her boyfriend, but were stolen by Aunt Jiang. She loves vanity so much, do you think shed be willing to admit she was wrong in public? Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, That makes sense. Also, Aunt Jiang only admitted to lying, not to stealing, which suggests that she doesnt know youve found out about her stealing. Mo Weiyi clenched her fist, But thinking about my earrings being worn by that Li Feifei, and she showing them off, it infuriates me! Su Wanwan thought for a moment, Theres a way to make Li Feifei voluntarily return the earrings to you, want to give it a try? Mo Weiyi immediately nodded in agreement, Yes, go ahead and tell me. After lunch, Su Wanwan followed Mo Weiyi back to her dorm. As soon as they walked in, there was Li Feifei sitting. When Mo Weiyi entered, a look of panic shed across Li Feifeis face. The other girls were very enthusiastic, and no one brought up the posts on the forum. Aftera 11, it was normal for a girl like Mo Weiyi whoes from a well-off family to be a bit aggressive. On the surface, everyone was still respectful and enthusiastic towards her. I heard from Wanwan that our school is organizing a wee party, does our ss have a program? Mo Weiyi asked. One of the girls answered, Yes, our ss is organizing a skit. Would you be interested in participating, Weiyi? Im not going to participate, my feet havent recovered yet. After saying that, Mo Weiyi looked at Li Feifei, Feifei youre participating, right? Having been named, Li Feifei froze. Feifei is definitely participating. Shes ying Todo Shizu and was memorizing lines just now. That sounds great, Ill definitelye to watch. Feifei is such a good actress; Im sure she will do well. Hearing Mo Weiyis words, Li Feifei could barely keep her expression in check. Weiyi, the literature clubmittee member walked over to her at this point. Ive been wanting to speak to you about the funding for this term Alright. Mo Weiyi quickly agreed. How much do we need? Same as before, two hundred thousand. Okay, Ill tell my husband to let his assistant deliver the check in the next few days. If you need anything else, please let me know. Please, dont be modest. For now, there is nothing else. Themittee member said with a smile, Thank you so much. Without your familys sponsorship, our departments activities each semester would not have been so sessful. Mo Weiyi smiled, Alright, I have to go shopping with my friend now. Having said this, she and Su Wanwan left the dorm. Because she was leaning on a crutch, they walked slowly. Sure enough, as they reached the elevator, they heard Li Feifeis voice behind them. Mo Weiyi, wait a minute.. Chapter 209: 209, Pretend to Forgive Chapter 209: Pretend to Forgive Trantor: 549690339 Mo Weiyi halted her steps while Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. Mo Weiyi, Li Feifei rushed over and looked at Su Wanwan, Can I talk to Mo Weiyi alone for a minute. Just say whatever you want. Wanwan is my best friend. Theres nothing she cant hear. But Li Feifei was insistent. So Su Wanwan said, Ill wait for you downstairs. Alright then. Once Su Wanwan had left in the elevator, Li Feifei nced around before saying, Weiyi, could you not mention what happened this morning? You meanAunt Jiang? Li Feifei nodded, I didnt know she would lie to me. Ive and broke up with him already called Xingyu A sarcastic chuckle echoed inside Mo Weiyis head. They broke up that quickly? Itsnot that I cant ept a boyfriend from a poor family, Im just angry at hem for deceiving me and taking me for a fool! But I dont want my ssmates o know about this, especially the girls in our dorm, they always seem nice but they love to goss.p and spread rumors behind peoples back. Do you know what Annoyance shed across Mo Weiyis face. Noticing her expression, Li Feifei hurriedly added, If they knew I was deceived by my boyfriend and that his mother is a maid, they would ridicule me re entlessly! I really cant face that kind of humiliation! So, can you help me keep this secret? r Dont worry, I wont say anything, Mo Weiyi replied casually as she flicked er hair back, I dont care what they say about me. Besides, I came to school today to change my dorm. XXL| w,a m ,ou 8s?? ??- -uh-h?h. met ?lend ,h, luacinii bjck tom abraia ana going to move in with her. I see. Li Feifei finally rxed.

Now that she is going to change dorms, she would not have any chance to gossip. The next day. In the morning, at the Mo family vi. Xiao Yebai had just arrived downstairs. Mr Xiao, thank you so much. meM?bai 10ked Amt Iiang raiSed hiS brW SHghtly,What d0 yu ank you, Mr Xiao, for interceding on my behalf with the princess. She said I could return to work today. Aunt Jiang looked very happy, Thank you so much^Mr Xiao, you are truly a good person, and good doers will receive good Xiao Yebai: This time it was my mistake, 1 upset the princess. From now on, I will serve the princess well and avoid making her angry. Xiao Yebai nodded. He thought Mo Weiyi was just acting like a petnt child, and her tantrums quickly passed. After Xiao Yebai had gone, Aunt Jiang, having tidied up the living room, went upstairs and knocked on the bedroom door. Come in. Aunt Jiang entered the room and saw Mo Weiyi seated at her vanity. Princess. MO Weiyi nced at Aunt Jiang through her mirror and said, Aunt Jiang Im used to your care after two years, and I trust you. Thats why Im giving you another chance. 5 y Princess, dont worry. Ill do my job well. Hmm. Mo Weiyi asked, How are Feifei and your son doing? Aunt Jiang said, Xingyu said he would apologize to Feifei. I also advised him to be honest and diligent in whatever he does, one step at a time. Smoothing her lips, Mo Weiyi said, Aunt Jiang,e here and help me choose which ne looks better? Aunt Jiang rushed over. There were several pearl nes in the jewelry box on the table The Ut Aunt Jiang pretended topare them and picked one, This pink one is pretty nice, itplements your skin tone. Really? MO Weiyi picked up the pink ne andpared it against her chest, Well lets go with this one. vanity, there are too many things, its a bit messy. Of course, princess. Saying this, Aunt Jiang got to work tidying up. And Mo Weiyi left right away. When she got downstairs. In the study, she dialed Su Wanwans number, Wanwan, I let Aunt Jiange back to work. What did Li Feifei say? Su Wanwanughed and said, Without somepensation for breaking up do you thmka woman like Li Feifei would easily agree to break up? tZXX^notlovethe^,butthemate^Md^tot^raa Mo Weiyi nodded. After chatting for some time, Su Wanwan said, Lets talkter. Its almost io:ooam. I have to go to the disciplinemittee to hand in my reflection. Sure.. Chapter 210: 210, Self-criticism Letter Chapter 210: Self-criticism Letter Trantor: 549690339 I When Su Wanwan arrived at the discipline office, Lin Qiao was already inside. The discipline director had a stern face, Su, youre here. Show me your reflection letter. Su Wanwan hurriedly took out the printed reflection letter she had prepared. That is The reflection letter written for her by Huo Jingshen. It was over 3000 words long, almost four A4 paper sheets. Lin Qiao saw this and her jaw dropped. It was that long? Looking at her own, which only fills a single page Indeed,parison is the thief of joy. The discipline director mmed his hand on the desk, What have I told you? Two days, Lin, all you gave me is this sheet of paper? Look at Sus stuff, do you believe that youve done well? Lin Qiao kept her head down, her face turning beet red. Rewrite it! If its not up to 3000 words, dont even think about earning credits this semester! Did you hear this clearly? Teacher, I was wrong, I will rewrite it immediately when I get home. Replied Lin Qiao, sucking up her pride, while brewing extreme resentment on the inside. Writing a reflection letter is generally just a formality, with a bit of sincerity, it should pass, who knew that Su Wanwan would take it so seriously?! Leave now. Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave Miss Su, please stay. The directors voice suddenly bellowed. Lin Qiao gave her a re, hastily left the room, gritting her teeth. Once the door was shut, the director sat back in his chair, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, then leisurely said, Ive already discussed your situation with Professor Su. Su Wanwan was somewhat stunned. Her situation? What about her situation? Every year, Huo Yuan Group donates teaching funds to our school, and at school celebrations or major events, we would invite a representative from Huo Yuan Group. Mr. Huo has been very gracious to our school. Principal Chu and the Huo Family have always been on good terms. Dont worry, since youre the eldest daughter-inw of the Huo Family, Mr. Huo need not worry about your school affairs h, h, h. He went on and on. Meanwhile, Su Wanwan looked at the four pages of the reflection letter. Turns out, it was because of her status in the Huo Family that she was treated exceptionally. So did Huo Jingshen write those over three-thousand words in vain? * * 10 minutester, Su Wanwan left the discipline office. She took out her cell phone, and while walking, she texted Huo Jingshen on WeChat, Thank you, dear. The reflection letter was sessfully submitted! Amazingly, despite being the CEO, Huo Jingshen replied instantly. Though it was a simple smiley emoji. Looking at the emoji, Su Wanwan felt a shiver! Immediately, Huo Jingshen sent a second text: How does my baby n to thank me? Su Wanwan: The question seemed quite serious on the surface, but paired with that smiley emoji, it seemed suggestive no matter how she looked at it! Just as she was thinking about how to reply Su Wanwan! Su Wanwans eyelid twitched. She put down her phone, not sparing a nce and was about to step into the elevator. Su Wanwan! Stop right there! Lin Qiao ran forward, effectively blocking her path. Su Wanwan looked at her impatiently, Are you trying to start a fight again? At this remark, Lin Qiaos face stiffened. Then she gritted her teeth and said, Su Wanwan, dont becent too soon. Just wait, there wille a day when everyone sees your true color! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and pinched her own earlobe, Are you annoying or what? Shouting and screaming in front of me every day can youe up with something new? Are you a broken record? She was close to developing calluses in her ears from listening to her! Thats because of your indecent behavior! Youre hanging out with rich old men, always trying to seduce Shuhao Shut up! Lin Qiao was startled and quickly stepped back. Su Wanwan nearly broke intoughter. This coward She said coldly, Even if I wasnt married, I wouldnt give a damn about that second-hand good, Jian Shuhao! If you like him, go win him back yourself, and dare to babble in front of me, watch out because I might beat you up again! Youre married? Lin Qiao was very surprised, but quickly began to scold her again, Youre still fooling around outside even after getting married, shameless! Bleh! Su Wanwans face darkened, but before she could speak Lin Qiao, You dare to hit me, there are cameras here! Su Wanwan: She looked up. This was the teachers office building, and indeed camera surveince was quite dense, there was even one right above her head. Scared now? Lin Qiaos proud voice echoed, Dont think just because your aunt is a professor you can always be so lucky, if you dare to hit me and it gets caught on camera, I will make you pay! Looking at her smug expression of triumph, Su Wanwan suddenly smiled, I have made up my mind. Lin Qiao was stunned. Made up her mind about what? Ive decided to join Jian Shuhaos E-sports club. In the midst of Lin Qiaos changing expression, Su Wanwan continued to smile, Are you angry now? You Lin Qiao was about to go mad with anger, she couldnt even make a sound now. How could there be such a shameless woman? Joining the E-sports club, doesnt that mean ying games with Jian Shuhao every weekend? And having team-building activities together? Participating in events together? With a ding, the elevator doors opened. Su Wanwan walked inside, waving at Lin Qiao with a sweet smile, Bye-bye! The elevator doors quickly closed. Lin Qiao was left there, the jealousy and anger almost driving her crazy.. Chapter 211: 211, my soul has been hooked away Chapter 211: my soul has been hooked away Trantor: 549690339 Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo? Huo Jingshen, seated at the head of the conference table, held his phone in his distinctively slender and articted fingers, seemingly frozen in ce. Ji Jie coughed twice, then stood up and walked over, Mr. Huo. Huo Jingshen put his phone down. His face was distinctly calm, as if it was someone else who had be distracted during the meeting. Mr. Huo, do you have any thoughts about the n for the uing event? Huo Jingshen raised an eyelid slightly, his response seemingly unrted to the question, Why isnt Xiuhuang here today? Chu has an important date today. Shi Huan adjusted his sses, maintaining hisposure. There was a small curl on Huo Jingshens lips. The old Chu really was Untouchable. If Mr. Huo has any opinions regarding the n, today might be a good chance to discuss with Bingos representative directly, since its our partners first time joining us. Upon hearing that, the otherpany representatives at the meeting made discreet smiles. Qiao Zixin, seated at the back, lifted her head and stuck out her chest. Unfortunately, Huo Jingshen only nodded slightly, not even meeting her eyes. He said, Shi, your decision will be enough. Once we coborate with Huangyou, you can control the details. Alright. * * After the meeting, Mr. Zhou, the representative from Bingo, enthusiastically suggested, Its almost noon, would Mr. Huo care to join us for lunch Im sorry, I have other important matters to attend to. Ji Jie, can you entertain Mr. Zhou and Secretary Shi for me? Sure, Mr. Huo. Although Mr. Zhou was disappointed, he quickly turned to Shi Huan, Secretary Shi, since Mr. Huo cant make it, shall we Sorry, I also have important matters. Having said that, Shi Huan turned to his subordinates, Xiaoliu, send a notice out that Im going back to the office this afternoon for a meeting with the top management at 2pm. Have everyone prepare their speeches. The tax inspectors areing at 3 oclock. Ask the finance department to check the reporting documents. Xiaozhang, you will handle tonights dinner with Mr. Xu from Dunhuang and Kuangshi. Oh, and also send me a copy of the meeting notes for me to summarise on my way back and send to Chu. Zhou was quick to ask, Secretary Shi, didnt you say Chu went on a date? Shi Huan nodded, Chu prefers to work during his dates. Mr. Zhou: As they spoke, Shi Huan had already packed up his things, Xiaoliu, Xiaozhang, lets go. Alright, Secretary Shi. The three of them rushed off. In theer, Shen Bingbing clicked her tongue, I thought I wasmitted, but Secretary Shi seems even more intense than I am, almost like hes working himself to death. Zixin, Zixin? Qiao Zixin quickly came to her senses, Huh? -Why do you seem so out of it? Shen Bingbing looked at the doorway and couldnt help butugh, Is it because Mr. Huo is too handsome that hes stolen your soul? Stop talking nonsense, hes my sisters husband. Oh? Shen Bingbing paused, Why didnt you mention that earlier? Well, you didnt ask. Shen Bingbing looked at her and suddenly asked, Did you ask me to bring you here because of him? No, stop making things up. Shen Bingbing couldnt help butugh. After working in the industry for so many years, shes seen all sorts of rtionships between men and women. Its given her a piercing insight. From the moment she arrived at Huospany, Qiao Zixins eyes hadnt left Huo Jingshens face! An older sister interested in her younger sisters husband? Interesting. She deliberately said, Actually, men like Mr. Huo usually have a lot on their te at home and also love to y outside. If youre really interested in him, there will be plenty of opportunities to get closer. So how about this, a littleter at lunch, Ill mention you to Mr. Zhou and have you join me in managing this event. As expected, Qiao Zixins eyes lit up, Really? But today is only my first day at work. Originally, because she quit her job suddenly, the magazine wasnt willing to let her go. Even if she had to leave, she had to at least work a month in transition. But upon hearing that Bingo and Huangyou were meeting at Huospany today, she couldnt think of anything else. After forcing her editor to approve her resignation yesterday, she reported for work at Bingo today. Shen Bingbing, the main nner of the event, can justify bringing a neer from her department to gain experience. Of course. Shen Bingbing said, Although you werent in this field before, writing news and writing copy are pretty simr. As an old ssmate, I have faith in your abilities. Qiao Zixin was excited, Then send me all the materials when we get back so I can familiarize myself with it quickly. Alright. Everyone chatted andughed as they left the conference room. Reaching the underground parking garage shortly after exiting the elevator, they saw a ck car slowly driving by. Wow, rich, handsome, tall, even his driving style looks attractive. Shen Bingbing said exaggeratedly. Qiao Zixin watched dreamily as Mr. Zhous voice reached her ears, Mr. Huo is already taken. Didnt you see that he was looking at his phone all through the meeting earlier? He must have been reading messages from his wife. Mr. Zhou, isnt that a bit presumptuous? Shen Bingbing flicked a flirtatious nce at him, Could it be the message was from a mistress? Mr. Zhou: He cleared his throat, Alright, lets get into the car and go eat. Im starving. * * In the quiet reading room, Su Wanwan took a seat and flipped open an entertainment magazine, promptly sneezing. Achoo! The sneeze was rather loud, catching the attention of two or three students around her. Su Wanwan was embarrassed. Who was talking behind her back? Chapter 212: 212, Class Monitor Fu Ziyang Chapter 212: ss Monitor Fu Ziyang Trantor: 549690339 There was a cough, followed by the sudden abrasive ringtone of a cell phone. Forgot to mute the ringer This attracted even more nces from her ssmates. Su WanWan hastily answered the call, whispering, Whats up? Come out. Huh? She nces towards the door of the reading room. No one Seeming to have irvoyance, the man over the phone said in a deep voice, Come to the school gate. What are you nning to do? Su WanWan was bewildered. Had this guy reallye to find her at school in the middle of the day? Remembering the message shed sent earlier, Su WanWan became defensive, hurriedly saying, Im in the reading room studying, will have lunchter, after eating I have to discuss a program with ssmates, and after that I need to head to a club meeting. youre that busy? Yeah, yep. Huo JingShen casually said, Busier than your overworked husband? Su WanWan: Thats not the case! Come out. Huo JingShen, tired of prolonging the conversation, advised, Apany your husband to a parent-teacher meeting. ** Ten minutester, Su WanWan got into the car. Seeing him dressed in a full suit, she couldnt help but ask, Is it okay if Im dressed like this? Huo JingShen nced at her and started the car, Its fine. Su WanWan felt like he was just brushing her off. She took out a makeup mirror and lipstick from her bag, fixating her makeup and saying, Its my first time at a parent-teacher meeting. Cant embarrass Ziyang. Huo JingShen: Once they arrived at the school, Su WanWan followed Huo JingShen into the meeting ssroom. As soon as they sat down, she lowered her voice and said furiously, This is all your fault! You didnt let me go home and change into something nice. Look at other peoples mothers! Im so annoyed! Huo JingShen again: Wellington Primary School is the most prestigious and aristocratic school in Nancheng. The children who attend here are usually either rich or noble, and many of the mothers are very stylish and beautiful. Not only is their makeup exquisite, but they also dress up quite elegantly, they either wear designer brands or privately tailored clothes, and there are even some wearing cheongsams. Then look at herself Su WanWan was pissed. She wore distressed jeans and white sneakers with a white tank top and a ck and white checkered shirt over it, also donning a very amusing bun hairstyle. She was the epitome of casual. Considering this, she took off her hairband and let her hair down. At least this would make her seem a little more mature, right? You care so much? Huo JingShen looked at the bustle of the young girl and couldnt help but smile slightly, If you care so much about your sons image, if you really be a mother in the future, will you Whos bing a mother? Su WanWan interrupted him, her cheeks growing warm. If you treat Ziyang well now, you will have experience for when you treat our son in the future Whos going to have your son? Su WanWan intercepted him again, her cheeks growing even hotter. Having a daughter is also okay. Huo JingShen said calmly, But she needs to be gentle and quiet, unlike you Whats wrong with being like me? Su WanWan finally exploded! Nothing. Huo JingShen still had that casual tone, I quite like it when youre like this, darling. Su WanWan: What the hell!? Hitting cotton, and sugar-coated cotton at that She pursed her lips, barely suppressing her rising smile. Really now. Confessing at the drop of a hat, unaware of time and ce. What program were you talking about just now? Huo JingShen suddenly asked again. Oh. Su WanWan said, The school is organizing a wee party and each department needs to present two items. As a freshman, I must participate. Whats your program? Su WanWan didnt think too much and reported honestly, Its not clear yet, we have set several skits, well discuss and decide in the afternoon. Huo JingShen nodded his head. Understood. Since his wife will be participating, it seems that this time he should attend this party as Huo Yuans representative. Soon, the pupils, dressed in tidy school uniforms, queued up and entered the ssroom. The second they walked through the door they all ran around like released bulls, each finding their own mother When Fu Ziyang came and sat down beside her, Su WanWan patted his little head, couldnt resist eximing, Our Ziyang is so ssy! The other little boys, either too thin or too chubby, their school uniforms all twisted, their posture not good, and they were all scratching their heads and chattering, couldnt sit still even when they were sitting next to their parents. Not like Fu Ziyang, although hes only five years old, he had a serious expression on his little face, which added to his calm and rxed demeanor that arent of his age. Along with his delicate facial features, he was both handsome and cute, clearly standing out from the crowd. Ziyang, does your ss have a ss grass? Who is it? She wanted to see who the ss grass was. Definitely not as handsome as Fu Ziyang! Fu Ziyang pressed his small mouth together and very calmly said, Its me. Su WanWan: Huo JingShen: Okay, everyone, quiet down. The teachers voice rang through the room. Su WanWan lifted her head and the ssroom fell silent. Dear parents, good afternoon. Today is our Wellington Primary School first grades first parent-teacher meeting, I see a lot of you parents rushed here from work, thank you for your hard work. The apuse resonated. Actually, we called everyone here today mainly to discuss this semesters teaching n. As you all know, we at Wellington focus not only on academic achievements but also on fostering childrens hobbies and Sorry, sorry, Imte. A crisp female voice suddenly rang out.. Chapter 213: 213, Straightforward Steel Man Chapter 213: Straightforward Steel Man Trantor: 549690339 I Everyones gaze shifted toward the doorway. Huanhuan, over here. A pretty little girl stood up near Huo Jingshens seat. Shi Huan nodded apologetically at others and hurried into the ssroom. As she got near, she looked up and saw Huo Jingshen sitting there. Even though she was wearing thick-rimmed sses and her ck hair mostly covered her face, Su Wanwan still noticed her momentarily stunned expression. Once Shi Huan took a seat next to the little girl, Su Wanwan asked, Do you know her? After his deep, dark eyes lingered on the two contrasting faces for a moment, Huo Jingshen withdrew his gaze, his tone usual, Yes, shes Xiuhuangs secretary. Chu Xiuhuangs secretary? Unable to stop herself, Su Wanwan took a closer look. She was wearingrge ck-rimmed sses, her shoulder-length hair was unstyled, and her face was mostly obscured by her sses and hair, revealing only her fair forehead and a small part of her face. She was dressed in a simple ck suit that didnt reveal any of her figure. She seemed to be in her early twenties and must be quite pretty, so why did she dress herself like this? She had always thought that secretaries were all pretty with long, beautiful legs and dressed in various seductive uniforms C especially when the boss was Chu Xiuhuang, who was always surrounded by different girls whenever she saw him Perhaps because Su Wanwan had been watching her, Shi Huan finally noticed and looked back at her. Quickly, Su Wanwan smiled at her. Looking a bit perplexed, Shi Huan nodded slightly, then quickly looked away. Huanhuan. The soft, mellow sound of the little girls voice floated up, Why are youte again? Sorry Luoluo, my car was restricted today, so I had to take a taxi. Ill take you to Pizza Hutter, okay? Alright, then I forgive you. The little girl spoke, then smiled sweetly. She was dressed in the schools uniform and had hair about as long as Shi Huans. Her porcin-white face featured a pair of beautiful, big ck eyes. When she smiled, adorable dimples appeared on her cheeks. Watching her, Su Wanwan couldnt help but lean over to Fu Ziyang, Ziyang, this little girl in your ss is so cute, is she your desk mate? Fu Ziyang, with his little chubby face, responded, Aunt Wanwan, shes not my desk mate. So, who is your desk mate? You sit next to each other, I thought you were desk mates. Fu Ziyang extended a little finger and pointed to his left. Su Wanwan looked over. Uh, it seemed to be the chubby little girl she had run into at the school gatest time, the one with two pigtails and a lollipop in her mouth. She said with augh, This ones cute too. Fu Ziyang nodded his little head nonchntly, Shes just a bit fat. Su Wanwan: Sweetheart, do you have to be so blunt? To say shes fat to her face! Hes a true straight shooter. Because they sat so close to each other, and because the chubby girl kept looking back in their direction, she heard that remark. Instantly, she sulked, her chubby head buried into her mothersp, Mom, Fu Ziyang said Im fat Wuu Wuu Wuu! She actually started crying! Frightened, Su Wanwan quickly tried to soothe her, Dont cry, little sister. Ziyang meant to say you are cute! Ziyang, quicklyfort your sister. Fu Ziyang, face emotionless, replied: Shes older than me. Su Wanwan: Wuu Wuu Wuu! The chubby girl suddenly cried even louder, Mom, I dont like Fu Ziyang anymore Wuu Wuu Wuu! The chubby girls mother, dripping in extravagant jewelry and a bit chubby herself, looked at her sternly, Mrs. Ziyang, every time we get home after school, Xiaoyuan always talks about how smart, pretty, and studious your Ziyang is, so why is he being so impolite now? Mrs. Ziyang, this is Im sorry, Su Wanwan interrupted awkwardly, Im not his mother What? The woman was surprised, her eyes quickly darting to Huo Jingshen. In her eyes, Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang looked so alike, naturally, she assumed they were father and son. But this young and beautiful girl was not Fu Ziyangs mother? Then that meant Stepmother! The womans originally angry face suddenly changed to one of disgust. She looked at Fu Ziyang again, now with sympathy. Then she leaned down and whispered into her daughters ear, Xiaoyuan, do you know? This sister is not Fu Ziyangs mother. She should be his stepmother, so you shouldnt be angry with him. Isnt he poor? The chubby girl sniffed and turned her head to look at Fu Ziyang. She had seen TV dramas before where stepmothers would bully children. No wonder Fu Ziyang was always so quiet and cold towards her. He really was pitiful Okay, everyone quiet down. The teachers voice rang out again. The ssroom returned to its quiet state. After the lengthy speech, the teacher handed out a form. Each student had to select two interest sses as minor courses throughout their primary school career. Looking at the form, Su Wanwan found it bewildering C there were piano, violin, painting, Go, calligraphyamong others. In the end, Fu Ziyang chose violin and taekwondo. The little guy was very decisive and didnt need any intervention from the two adults. Su Wanwan didnt even know why she came; she just ended up sitting an entire parent meeting for an hour. Most of the other kids were apanied by their mothers, or grandparents. Only she and Huo Jingshen were a pair. Especially since Huo Jingshen was dressed in a suit, he was definitely the most eye-catching in the entire ssroom. Her phone suddenly rang, and Su Wanwan took a nce at it before standing up, I need to take a call outside. Whos calling? Huo Jingshen asked. A certain uncle.. Chapter 214: 214, is the baby jealous? Chapter 214: is the baby jealous? Trantor: 549690339 The call was from Zhou Teng. As soon as it connected, he asked, Miss, can youe to the hospital to see the old man? Su Wanwan bit her lip, What happened to him? Ever since the old man woke up this time, he hasnt been in good spirits. I just found out that so much happened a few days ago. Zhou Teng sighed, Miss, you know him best. Hes been tormented after hitting you with his crutch. Hes been talking about you non-stop these past few days Uncle Zhou. Su Wanwan interrupted him, Please take good care of him. I wont go to the hospital these days. Miss, no matter how busy you are, you should find time to visit the old man. Youve been his favorite granddaughter all along. During the past few years while youve been abroad, the old man would constantly ask me how you were doing in Los Angeles. He would send you things all the time. The old man is getting older and more tender-hearted. He was just too worried about Miss Twos child and also had to consider the feelings of the Xing Family. He didnt intend to falsely use you. You must not me him. That would be devastating for him. Su Wanwan tightly gripped her cell phone and after a long time, said simply, Oh. Miss, dont me me. Ive been with the old man for so many years. I know that he does everything for your good. You will understand as time goes on. Su Wanwan had heard this kind of talk many times over the years C and she had always believed it to be true. In the Su Family, besides Su Xueqin, everyone else, no matter overtly or covertly, didnt see her in a good light. If it wasnt for Su Xueqins favoritism and love, she wouldnt have had such a smooth journey over the years. But, ever since Su Xueqin chose to stand by Su Yanyans side that day in the hospital room, even wanting to force her into submission Su Wanwan felt that perhaps, the bonds of Su Family were more important than her position as a granddaughter, right? She indeed shouldnt me Su Xueqin. The Xing Family elders and he had a longstanding friendship. Since it involved human lives, and all the evidence pointed to Su Yanyans side She said, I know. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a long sigh of relief, before turning around to head back to the ssroom. However, as soon as she walked in, she saw a woman had taken her seat. The woman was quite pretty. A yellow dress paired with a short white leather jacket, her deep red long curly hair added a charming and alluring aura about her. She rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes looking at Huo Jingshen with a smile. The woman was full of enchantment! Su Wanwan clenched her fingers and walked straight over. Upon reaching close, she spoke. Husband. Huo Jingshen was originally looking down at a form. Hearing this voice, his brows jumped. This little girl The way she used her soft voice was beyond belief. It was so sweet that it made his body feel weak. The woman immediately looked up at her, then asked, Jingshen, is she your wife? She heard from Ahuang that Huo Jingshen had a rushed marriage, but she had never seen the real face of Mrs. Huo. Who would have thoughtit would be such a green youngdy? The youngdy curled the corner of her mouth, continue to use her sweet voice and said, Aunty, so you know my husband? Aunty? The womans face twitched and contorted. Who was this young girl calling aunty? Sorry., Huo Jingshen spoke in his calm voice, My wife is still young and naive. Miss Chu, dont take it to heart. Su Wanwan red at him instantly. Who were you calling naive? Chu Jingyi curved her lips into a smile. But the smile wasnt quite pleasant, Its okay. I wont stoop to a childs level. ck lines instantly formed on Su Wanwans face. Stabbing pain! A child? Was there a child as well-endowed as her? She also curved her lips into a smile, saying insincerely, This aunty Her hand was suddenly grabbed by Huo Jingshen. Turns out it was the teacher who hade over, Have you finished filling the form? Ziyang, hand over the form to the teacher. Huo Jingshen adopted a stern fathers stance. After the teacher collected the form and left, Chu Jingyi got up from the chair. Su Wanwan didnt notice until she stood up, Chu Jingyi was quite tall. Even though she was wearing high-heeled shoes, she should be around 175 cm tall. Jingshen, Ill go back first. If theres a chance, we should invite Ahuang also and have a meal together. Huo Jingshen simply raised his eyebrow withoutmenting. Chu Jingyi didnt say anything else either, she picked up the form and left. It wasnt until her figure disappeared, that Shi Huan, who had been blocking her face with her hand on the side, finally put her hand down. So tiring Su Wanwan sat down in the seat that originally belonged to her. Just that The area was filled with the fragrance left by that woman. She coughed twice, and deliberately said, Whats this smell? Its suffocating. So disgusting. Huo Jingshen looked at the young girl with a displeased face, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes, It seems to be the smell of vinegar. Baby, are you jealous? As soon as Su Wanwan heard this, she blew up, Dammit, who is jealous? Shameless! Dont tter yourself! Huo Jingshen was unable to hold back his smile. He raised his eyebrow, both his expression and tone were pretty joyful, Why are you reacting so strongly? If youre jealous, then youre jealous. Your husband wontugh at you. After saying that, he raised his hand and gave a pinch on her puffed up cheeks. Su Wanwan: Just as she was about to blow up again Shes Xiuhuangs twin sister. Her son is in the adjacent ss Even though shes married she still hits on other womens husbands! Su Wanwan interrupts him angrily, Shes not virtuous at all! Shameless! Huo Jingshen: Pretty rhyming huh? Chapter 215: 215, less is more Chapter 215: less is more Trantor: 549690339 Just like her brother, all of them are showy peacocks, fluttering butterflies, fickle radishes! Huo Jingshen again: He originally wanted to say that Chu Jingyi was already divorced from her husband, but looking at the little girls reaction Forget it. He better not say anything. Better to avoid more trouble. * * After collecting the forms, the teacher exchanged a few pleasantries, and thus, the parent-teacher meeting ended. Su Wanwan looked at the time, Ziyang, what do you want for lunch? KFC or McDonalds? Kids usually like this kind of fast food, right? Who knew Fu Ziyang would purse his lips, Pizza Hut. Su Wanwan: Well, perfectly avoided her suggestion. As a result, the trio walked into the restaurant and saw the mother-daughter duo. Fu Ziyang! The little girl sweetly greeted, Are you alsoing here for lunch? Fu Ziyang nodded his small head, as aloof as ever. Su Wanwan felt worried. This little guy was too indifferent to girls! How would he find a wife in the future? Huo Jingshen squinted to find a seat. He was too tall and dressed in an expensive-looking ck suit, immacte from head to toe, which made him stand out in the messy environment. Especially his serious expression as he scanned the restaurant, looked as if a king inspecting his territory, only So awkward! No seats! This kind of fast-food restaurant is always full of customers, especially at noon, its downright crowded. After looking for a while, he unbuttoned his suit, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he looked a bit impatient. Su Wanwan was about to ask if they wanted to change the restaurant President Huo. Shi Huans voice sounded. She tidied up the table and then said, If you dont mind,e and sit here. We are about to finish. We dont mind, we dont mind. Su Wanwan quickly pulled Fu Ziyang to sit down, letting the little guy sit next to the little girl. Wow, both little ones were wearing school uniforms, and with their stunning looks, sitting together, they looked irresistibly cute. One cold, one sweet, one cool, and one lovely For some reason, she thought of Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi. This pair with such contrasting personalities, the more she looked, the more they seemed to match. Huo Jingshen nced at them, Im going to order the food. After the tall and cold man left, at the dining table, two adults and two children, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Fu Ziyang was naturally reticent, Shi Huan did not speak either, and the little girl was seriously eating her pasta Su Wanwan had to find a topic first, Little sister, whats your name? The little girl looked at her and answered in a soft and tender voice, Hello sister, my name is Shi Luoluo. Luoluo, you are so cute, do you have a little boyfriend? Shi Luoluo looked at her, blinking her big eyes. Whats a little boyfriend? Shi Huan, at her side, coughed softly, not expecting that President Huos wife was so outgoing, her words were quite surprising. You dont have one? What do you think of my Ziyang? Su Wanwan winked teasingly. Fu Ziyang across from her was quietly looking at her, not saying a word. Shi Luoluo didnt understand, nced at Fu Ziyang, then continued to focus on her pasta. Su Wanwan: Uh. For heavens sake, are they all this aloof? Actually, she was not a chatterbox either Fortunately, Huo Jingshen came back soon. The space at a table for four was obviously not enough for five. Shi Huan immediately said, Luoluo, have you finished eating? We are going back to continue sses. Shi Luoluo wiped her small mouth and slid off the chair. Goodbye, Fu Ziyang. Goodbye, sister. Then, she looked at the tall Huo Jingshen, tilted her little head, thought for a moment, wiggled her little hand sweetly and said, Goodbye, uncle. Pfft! Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh. Huo Jingshen: President Huo, Mrs. Huo, well go first. Enjoy your meal. After Shi Huan finished speaking, she quickly left with the child. As soon as Huo Jingshen sat down next to her, Su Wanwan whispered, Uncle? Hahaha Huo Jingshen red at her ntingly, I dont have such a big niece. Im big? Su Wanwan grinded her teeth, Can I be older than you? A thirty-year-old old man, so old yet still cant stand being teased? Really! Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, suddenly leaned down, and whispered something in her ear. Su Wanwan: She instantly understood! She gripped her little hand and hurriedly looked at Fu Ziyang. Fortunately, the little guy was sitting across from her, some distance away. He probably didnt hear. Shameless! Su Wanwan red at Huo Jingshen fiercely. However, the scoundrel Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow and leaned towards her again. Su Wanwans eyes widened as she tried to avoid him, but her wrist was quickly grasped Then, in the bustling restaurant, the mature and handsome man whispered sweet nothings in her ear. Su Wanwan: Help! Someone is acting indecently! ** Wellington Primary School. Outside the first-grade ssroom. After watching Shi Luoluo enter and sit down, Shi Huan then turned and left. Just as she reached the elevator entrance Shi Huan? Chapter 216: 216, you are the pig. Chapter 216: you are the pig. Trantor: 549690339 | Shi Huan froze. The sound of high heels hitting the ground, step by step, as if hammering on her heart. Chu Jingyi then stood in front of her, arms folded, slightly tilting her head, and with a coquettish and flirtatious look, she looked at the woman in front of her, Its really you. Miss Chu. Heh. Chu Jingyiughed lightly, naturally adopting an air of superiority, When I first walked into the ssroom, I thought you looked familiar, but you didnt seem very eager to see me, so I didnt call out to you. Shi Huan didnt reply. I just returned to the country a few days ago, and never expected that after being away for so many years, everythings changed. Jingshen is now married. Even you, you even have a daughter now. While saying so, Chu Jingyi looked Shi Huan up and down, howeverpared to before, you havent changed at all. Just as old-fashioned, conservative, and dull as before. She really couldnt understand why such a dull woman like water could stay by Ahuangs side for such a long time. What was wrong with him? A man who was so demanding and picky about his girlfriends could tolerate his personal secretary, why? Didnt he feel embarrassed to take her out for business? Miss Chu, Shi Huan nced at the time, I have to rush back to thepany. Ill have to leave first. Whats the rush? Chu Jingyi spoke in anguid tone, Does Ahuang know about your daughter? Shi Huan looked up. Behind her thick sses were a pair of clear and bright eyes. What does Miss Chu mean by that? What does my uncles daughter have to do with Chu Shao? Does he need to know? Chu Jingyi raised her eyebrows, Your uncles daughter? My uncle and aunt have recently gone abroad, so I came to attend Luoluos parent-teacher conference today instead of them. As Shi Huan said, her expression didnt change. However, with suchrge sses on, even if there was a change, it would be hard to tell. Chu Jingyi narrowed her eyes, just about to speak, but then the elevator door opened with a ding. Fu Ziyang stood inside, his big, dark eyes looking at the two women standing outside. Then, he calmly stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the ssroom. Chu Jingyis eyes fell directly on the little figure. If it hadnt been for Huo Jingshens denial just now, she would have really thought this kid was his son, the expression and mannerisms were just too much alike If theres nothing else, Ill leave first. If Imte, Chu Shao will deduct my sry. I beg your leave. After Shi Huan finished speaking, she quickly stepped into the elevator. It wasnt until the elevator door closed that Chu Jingyi slowly came back to her senses. She raised her eyebrows and then, unable to hold back any longer, she took out her phone and dialed a number, Ahuang, where are you? I want to see you. ** When Fu Ziyang returned to the ssroom, just as he sat down Fu Ziyang! Yang Xiaoyuan stood with her small chubby hand ced on her hip,manded, Youd better apologize to me right now, or else Ill ask the teacher to change my seat. I wont sit with you anymore! Fu Ziyang pursed his small mouth and said, Then you should ask the teacher to change your seat. Yang Xiaoyuan: The next second. Boohoohoo, teacher! Fu Ziyang is bullying me Boohoohoo! The teacher who just walked in, frowned at the sound of crying, then pointed randomly, Shi Luoluo, swap seats with Yang Xiaoyuan. Shi Luoluos seat was just in front of Yang Xiaoyuans, but when she heard the teachers order, Yang Xiaoyuans tears instantly got even worse. Can the teacher just randomly change seats like that? She was just upset and spoke without thinking! Yang Xiaoyuan, Ive changed your seat as requested. Why are you still crying? Be a good girl, or you wont receive any stars today. The teacher tried both cajoling and scaring her, but Yang Xiaoyuan continued to cry. Shi Luoluo immediately said, Yang Xiaoyuan, dont cry. Ill swap seats with you right now. After saying this, she started to pack her things. Yang Xiaoyuan tipped back her head, crying and making a fuss. She felt misunderstood! Jeez, its heart-wrenching! Fu Ziyang frowned, sighing inwardly. Girls are really troublesome, all they know is how to cry! Hopefully, Shi Luoluo wont be a crybaby like Yang Xiaoyuan * * In the car. Su Wanwan was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her face. What a damned! She suddenly opened her eyes, covering her cheek with her hand, Why did you pinch me? It hurts! Huo Jingshen smirked, Are you a pig? Sleeping right after you eat? She fell asleep like a pig as soon as she got in the car. If he hadnt pinched her, she probably wouldve continued to sleep. Su Wenwen grinded her teeth, Youre the pig, your whole family is a pig! Arent you part of my family? Huo Jingshen yed coyly, Mrs. Huo, huh? As Mrs. Huo nced at him, she reached for the phone thrown on the front seat of the car. Upon unlocking the screen, she saw several missed calls. From Zhao Qianqian and Lin Qiao What a bloody hell! Su Wanwan was so annoyed, When did you put my phone into silent mode? Would you be able to sleep like a pig if it wasnt on silent? Su Wanwan: With a nce at him, toozy to waste more words, she immediately made moves to get out of the car, Were gathering in ten minutes. If Imte, those little bitches would be causing me trouble again. Just as she pushed open the car door, her hand was grabbed. What are you up to now? Huo Jingshen looked at the bristling girl, his eyes narrowed, Youre not allowed to get into a fight, got it? Ok. No fighting, but arguing should be okay, right? Su Wanwan was nning her next moves in her mind. Chapter 217: 217, come on, let’s hurt each other. Chapter 217:e on, lets hurt each other. Trantor: 549690339 | Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and finally let go of his grip. Oh, right. Su Wanwan suddenly coughed a couple of times, hinting, I will be practicing a show these next couple of days so I wont be home. The originally mild expression on Huo Jingshens handsome face immediately darkened, How many days? Not much, just one week, she replied. Huo Jingshens face darkened even more: One week isnt a long time? Is one week a long time? Su Wanwan blinked innocently. She looked innocent and naive. One week means you will leave your husband alone for a week. Su Wanwan was speechless, Can we not talk about everything in that context? Can we have a normal conversation? Your husband is a normal man, its natural for him to desire romance, he argued. What nonsense! Su Wanwan pouted, Anyway, I wont be home these few days. Call me if you need anything. Your husbands birthday is on the 20th. Huo Jingshen reminded her, yet Didnt I already give you a birthday gift? Youre so greedy! Listen, I am broke already. Unless you give me another 2000no, 5000 bucks! Saying so, she extended her small hand in front of him. Huo Jingshen: This girl is digging her hand into the money jar, isnt she? He narrowed his eyes, Ill transfer it to youter. Really? Su Wanwan was slightly surprised, hastily added, 5000 bucks, remember your promise. Hmm. Thankyou Husband! Su Wanwan beamed. At her Dear Husband call, Huo Jingshen was very pleased, Okay, go now. Goodbye, dear husband! Remember to transfer the money to me! Having finished, Su Wanwan got off the car, practically hopping and skipping as she entered the university gate. Watching her back, Huo Jingshen couldnt help butugh softly before driving off. Not muchter, his phone that was on the dashboard suddenly lit up. He nced at the caller ID, then picked up, wearing his earphones, Yes? Big Bro, I heard you sawmy sister just now. How did it feel? Felt nothing. Howcan meeting an old lover not evoke feelings? Are you itching for a beating? Chu Xiuhuangughed on the other end of the call, If it werent for you going off to the United Kingdom and she to Australia, who knows, I might have been holding a grandnephew right now. You do have a grandnephew. Didnt my sister tell you? That kid was adopted by her and her husband. Oh. Youre so indifferent. Chu Xiuhuang clucked, So heartless. Now that you have a twenty-year-old girl, youve forgotten your childhood sweetheart. Howe I heard that my sister used to visit you quite often in Ennd? Werent there any sparks? Huo Jingshen chuckled, I also heard youve been on blind dates recently? Alright, bring on the mutual insults. As expected, Chu Xiuhuang started cussing, Damn, the old man has been trying to hook me uptely. Hes been pushing womens profiles to my secretary all day. All of them are pretentious, female PhDs or female graduate students. They arent even as pretty as the girls on TikTok Suddenly. What is TikTok? Huo Jingshen has heard his wife mention it more than once. Chu Xiuhuang was stunned for a moment, then Pfftt, hahaha! Huo Jingshens face darkened immediately, Im hanging up. Dont, Big bro, I wontugh anymore, okay? Come out tonight for a get- together. Ill get Xiao San to exin TikTok to you in detail. You cant refuse, okay? When was thest time you had a drink with your bros? Remembering Su Wanwans earlier statement about practicing for a show these few days, Huo Jingshen raised his brows and agreed, Alright. * * Nancheng University. Su Wanwan hurried to the designated ssroom, which was already filled with people. You finally came. Lin Qiao rebuked sarcastically, Everyone is here and weve just been waiting for you, Su Wanwan. Arent you ashamed? Su Wanwan nced at the time, I arrived at the agreed time. It was 1:30 in the afternoon, right on time. Unexpectedly, Lin Qjao raised her voice, This ssroom is to be used at two oclock. So we all came half an hour earlier. We called you at one oclock, but you didnt pickup. You show up half an hourte and yet stillin? Su Wanwan nced at her, Im sorry, I didnt realize I had put my phone on silent. And, I wasnt aware that the ssroom was to be used. Thats clearly just an excuse! Okay, okay. Zhao Qjanqian jumped in to mediate, Everyone has their issues. Since Su Wanwan is here now, lets discuss the show. Next time be more active. If you didnt want to participate, you shouldve said so earlier. Since you decided to join, please pay attention to the time! Lin Qiao adamantly argued. Su Wanwan smiled slightly, I did not want to participate, but Zhao Qianqian insisted that I must. Given that, may I ask the literaturemittee if I could withdraw now? Of course not. Lin Qiao said with a triumphant look, The show was already decided on earlier. Our ss will present two acts. And since you are a neer, you will present a solo act. A solo act? Su Wanwan frowned immediately, Did you do this on purpose? You didnte here earlier. The ss teacher kept hurrying us, we called you but you didnt pick up, so I just submitted it. Lin Qiaos smile grew even wider. You think youre so capable, Su Wanwan? Well then, go up there and perform your solo act! A person with absolutely no talent, I really want to see what you can perform! Chapter 218: 218, Development of Allies Chapter 218: Development of Allies Trantor: 549690339 | Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan said, Since thats the case, you should perform the number that youve registered for. I wont do it. Su Wanwan, what do you mean? Lin Qiao was angry, Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Whos making whos life difficult? Su Wanwan sneered, You signed me up for a solo act without my permission, did you? I had no choice, you wouldnt pick up your phone. Thats no excuse for you to decide on your own. Its toote to change now, the show has already been scheduled. Like it or not, you have to perform. Seeing her like this, Su Wanwan straightforwardly retorted, I will not perform! Lin Qiao pounded the table, Whats wrong with you? Cant you just cooperate with our ss activities? Zhao Qianqian quickly tried to mediate, Alright, alright, lets not fight. Were all from the same ss Lin Qiao said, I dont want to fight either, but as you saw, shes not answering the phone. Now she ims that she doesnt want to participate! Does she think shes some princess? The whole school already submitted the program list this morning. To amodate her, I submitted our application at the veryst minute, and even got scolded by the teacher for not being able to handle even this simple task properly. Having said that, she lowered her head and started to choke up. Lin Qiao, did you graduate from the Acting Academy? Su Wanwan stood there feeling thunderstruck, Youre so dramatic, why didnt you sign up to perform? Her mood swung faster than flipping through a book. Who wouldve thought Su Wanwan, why cant you just help Lin Qiao with her duties? A female student suddenly spoke up. Exactly, shes trying to help our ss. As a new student, isnt it good for you to have a chance to perform? Dont be a bully Su Wanwan swiftly turned around and locked her gaze onto the female student who just spoke, Which fucking eye of yours saw me bullying her? The female student blushed, How how could you swear at someone like that? Repeating their unsubstantiated im of bullying, Su Wanwan swept her eyes over them, conveying an unexinable coldness. Are you afraid youve taken some advantage from her? Are you all speaking up for her? The faces of the female students became guilty in an instant. They had indeed been treated to snacks by Lin Qiao before, and privately promised to help persuade Su Wanwan to perform the solo act. After all, Lin Qiao was the artistic director,pared to Su Wanwan, who had just transferred to their school. It was natural for them to feel obligated to help after receiving treats. But Su Wanwan had just voiced their intentions so bluntly, as if they were greedily taking advantage of the situation. At this moment, Lin Qiao spoke again. Dont say that. Su Wanwan isnt bullying me. Its my fault for not being able to handle this. I originally intended to have both group and solo performances exhibited by our ss in the hope of getting a good ranking. But then As she finished her self-deprecating speech, all the girls clustered around and began to console her. Qiao Qiao, dont me yourself. Exactly, youre doing great! Youre just looking out for our ss. We see your efforts clearly. Dont cry Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, feeling as if shed stepped in dog shit! Dealing with this wench was a constant source of drama and irritation. Su Wanwan. Zhao Qianqian also came to mediate, Since the program has been submitted, why dont you give it a try? If you need any help, just tell me and Ill do my best to assist. Su Wanwan pouted her lips. It wasnt the performance she was annoyed with, but being manipted. Can you sing? Dance? Or maybe y an instrument? Zhao Qianqian exhaustively tried toe up with ideas for her. The actual performance is only a few minutes, it will be over quickly if not You could write a speech, poetry recital? Seeing Su Wanwan still didnt speak, she lowered her voice to persuade, Once the list is submitted, its difficult to make changes. Consider it as a contribution to the ss. If you do well, you can earn credits. Su Wanwan took a deep breath and finally nodded, Fine, Ill think about what to perform. Zhao Qianqian: Great! Lin Qiao also quietly let out a sigh of relief. This bitch! Shes nothing but sharp teeth and a slick tongue! But because of the previous incident in the ssroom when she had been scared by Mo Weiyis bodyguard into apologizing on the spot, she had already lost face in front of her ssmates once. Almost everyone present had witnessed the scene from that day. No matter how upset she was, she had to maintain her image or she could easily be used of deliberately taking revenge. It seemed that ying the victim was more effective. She had been too impulsive in the past. Lin Qiao was feeling smug Is the ss monitor absent? Upon hearing Su Wanwans words, Lin Qiaos expression changed. Why is this bitch looking for Jiang Shuhao? The ss monitor is the host, hes not participating in our show. Zhao Qianqian asked, Do you need something from him? Yes, Su Wanwan said, I want to sign up for the esports club with him. What a coincidence, Im also thinking about joining the esports club. Shall we go togetherter? Zhao Qianqian suggested. Su Wanwan nced at Lin Qiao. Zhao Qianqian seemed to be the lifemittee member, she was always following Lin Qiao around. But from what Su Wanwan could see, she seemed to be a nice person, unlike the other petty girls who were blindly following Lin Qiao. If she could form an alliance with Zhao Qianqian Deciding immediately, Su Wanwan agreed, Sure, lets go togetherter. Chapter 219: 219, cannot fight against Chapter 219: cannot fight against Trantor: 549690339 | Sure enough, as soon as Su Wenwen spoke, Lin Qiao couldnt hold back and grabbed Zhao Qianqians arm, questioning her. Since when did you like ying games? Zhao Qianqian replied, During the summer holidays at home, my brother got me into ying a few rounds of King of Champions. I found it quite fun and, as it happens, I havent joined any clubs this semester. juniors can choose not to join clubs, Lin Qiao sneaked a nce at Su Wanwan and advised, We are preparing for the weing party, and we need to prepare for our English CET-6 examsing up. Next term, we will also be busy with internships. Where will you find the time? Su Wanwan interrupted her directly, Zhao Qianqian, what heroes do you like to y? The moment the topic turned to gaming, Zhao Qianqians attention waspletely diverted, I y as mages, Ang, Daji, Xiaoqiao! Perfect! I y as a jungler, so we could form mid-jungle synergy! One kill. One assist. Cough. Cough. Zhao Qianqian held Su Wanwan in high admiration, You can y in the jungle too? Thats seriously awesome! Youre the first girl Ive seen who can y jungler! Just normal, Luna, Li Bai, Nakoruru, Han Xin With every hero mentioned, Zhao Qianqians eyes would brighten. lean y all of them! Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, totally full of herself. In this game, what female yers like the most is to be carried by a skilled jungler yer. Although shes not a guy, her skills are certainly not inferior to theirs. Goddess! Zhao Qianqian excitedly grabbed the arm of her new idol, I beg you to carry me, Goddess! No problem. Ill take care of lv9, and you just need to be cute. Youre that strong! Of course The two chatted excitedly, while Lin Qiao watched, dumbfounded. Does Zhao Qianqian have no moral integrity to speak of? Just for a game, she got bought so quickly by Su Wanwan? The little minion who used to always follow her around, now turns perfidious! This is driving her crazy! ** Half an hourter, Zhao Qianqian took Su Wanwan, confidently leading the way to a lecture hall in the old teaching building. As they pushed open the door, there were already quite a few people inside, mostly boys. On the podium, the club president with sses inquired, Students, may I ask who you are? They are the new club members that are here to sign up, Jian Shuhao stood up and jokingly replied, his demeanor smooth as always. Come on in. Zhao Qianqian and Su Wanwan quickly walked in. Well, big shot Jiang, you already found a new target so soon after losing Lin Qiao. This girl must be the one who pped Lin Qiaost time, right? Little chili pepper indeed. You sure have exotic taste. The vice president who spoke was in charge of recruitingst time. Hed witnessed the entire exchange between Su Wanwan and Lin Qiaost time. Man, being tall and handsome definitely gets you far, with girls willing to fight over him, even to the point of physical shes Jian Shuhao gave his friend a sidelong nce, opened his mouth as if to deny it, but ended up not saying anything. ** After signing up, Su Wanwan went back to her dormitory to prepare for the wee party. Just as she was searching for videos online, her phone beeped. She picked it up to take a look. Su Wenwens eyes lit up. Holy moly! Huo Jingshen transferred 5000 Yuan? She hastily epted the transfer, Thanks, hubby! Unexpectedly, the old man finally showed some conscience. Who knew If you really want to thank me,e back and keep mepany tonight. Su Wanwan: . She fumed and sent back a message. You shameless jerk! We are only interacting over the phone, so whos afraid of whom? But when Huo Jingshen sent another message Forget it, forget it, I cant outdo him. ** Huo Yuan Group. In the office, Huo Jingshen put down the phone and dialed an internal line. Within a few seconds, there were two knocks on the door, and Ji Jie entered the office apprehensively, Mr. Huo, may I ask if you have any instructions? God in heaven! Ever since he was punished to write a 4000-word self-criticismst time, he dared not y PUBG during working hours. However, he saw Huo Jingshen ask with a calm expression, Have any activities been arranged recently? Ji Jie quickly ran through the schedule in his head before answering, No. Huo Jingshen looked at him thoughtfully, not saying anything. Ji Jie immediately started trembling, Mr. Huo, what what do you mean? Even though their boss was handsome and charming, he always seemed to have a pleasant temper, but everytime Ji Jie was looked at this way by him, he felt an immense pressure. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly and finally spoke, Recently, Nancheng University He paused again. Ji Jie immediately stated, Recently, Nancheng University did indeed send an invitation. Its for the new semester weing party. However, such affairs were usually attended by representatives from our investment division. This time, I am going to personally attend. As soon as Huo Jingshen announced this, Ji Jies eyes widened in surprise, Mr. Huo You you are going to attend the weing party at Nancheng University personally? Any problem? Huo Jingshen shot a dagger re at him, and Ji Jie quickly retreated, No no, I will arrange it right away. Just as he was about to exit the room. Its just a small matter, dont publicize it to the school. Yes, Mr. Huo. He s actually going to attend the weing party at Nancheng University? And he wont allow it to be publicized? This is so essible to the people Not like Mr. Huo at all! Chapter 220: 220, another necklace was lost again. Chapter 220: another ne was lost again. Trantor: 549690339 For the next few days, everything was calm. Su Wanwan first went to the driving school and finallypleted the third subject. The rest of her time was spent in preparation for her uing performance. Mo Weiyi didnte to the school these days. Until one afternoon, the day before the party, Su Wanwan suddenly received a call from Mo Weiyi. Wanwan, I noticed another ne missing. Did you mark them? Su Wanwan asked. Those nes were custom birthday gifts from my grandfather, and my English name is engraved in the pendant. Mo Weiyi asked her, Do you think I should report it to the police? Su Wanwan thought and said, Bring Aunt Jiang to school tomorrow. You know, Li Feifei is also performing, right? She will definitely wear those earrings, maybe she will also Xiaobai, youre back! Upon hearing the sudden sweet and affectionate voice from the other side of the line, Su Wanwan twitched at the corner of her mouth. This girl! Following that Wanwan, I have to go, Xiaobai is back. Bye. With that, the call was hung up. Su Wanwan looked at the phone screen, speechless. This Mo Xiaose abandons her girlfriends as soon as her husband is around! Absolute lightheadedness! Abandons friends at the sight of love! Has malevolent intentions at the sight of love! * * The Mo Familys vi. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi stood up from the sofa with a smile both sweet and surprised on her face. Xiao Yebai asked, Who were you on the phone with? It seemed like he heard something about reporting to the police? Wanwan, I was telling her about going to school to watch the performance tomorrow. Mo Weiyi said, walking over and dutifully taking the suit jacket from his hand, Howe you came back so early today? Unexpected business trip. Mo Weiyi stiffened at the mention of business trip, then turned around, Now? Although she knew that impromptu business trips were mostmon for a CEO of Mo Family, she couldnt help but feel upset! It was all too sudden! She had thought that he wasing home early just to be with her. Xiao Yebai indifferently said, I have to handle a tricky matter in Haicheng. My flight is at eight tonight. How long will you be gone for this time? A week. Mo Weiyi: That long? She pouted, Alright, then Ill have Aunt Zhou stay with me in the vi for these few days. Are you still upset with Aunt Jiang? When Xiao Yebai arrived home earlier, he found her alone in the bedroom while Aunt Jiang was cleaning downstairs. No, I just Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, then went on to exin, Aunt Jiang is a local, let her go home for the night. Right after saying that, she quickly changed the subject, Xiaobai, let me help you pack. Xiao Yebai did not respond. In any case, he would have to re-pick his items afterward. He walked into the bathroom, only toe out a momentter, You havent yet had your period. His remark was a statement of fact. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, then turned to the tall, reserved man standing in the doorway of the bathroom, at a loss for words. She hadnt expected him to be so attentive to minor details. This time her period was a whole weekte. She was thinking of getting a pregnancy test. Xiao Yebai said, Tomorrow, have Aunt Zhou take you to the hospital for a check-up. A check-up for what?. Mo Weiyi was puzzled, could it be Your period is a weekte, its irregr, you should see a doctor about it and maybe get some medication to regte it. Mo Weiyi coughed twice. Embarrassed. She had thought Xiaobai wanted her to go for a pregnancy test. Unable to contain herself, she tentatively asked, Xiaobai, do you think I might could I be What? Xiao Yebai watched her, his handsome profile unchanged. Could I be pregnant? Upon hearing her words, there was a subtle flicker in the depths of the mans dark eyes. Then he said, Impossible. Why is it impossible? Im a weekte and this has never happened before. Its not possible. His voice was still low and firm. Mo Weiyi pouted, How can you be so sure? The mans handsome face remained expressionless, Ive taken precautions every time, and besides, youre still a student. Even if you were pregnant, we couldnt keep it. Why not? Mo Weiyi angrily widened her round, beautiful cat-like eyes, What do you mean? Would they have to abort if she did get pregnant? How could they! Xiao Yebai watched her. His thin lips were slightly pursed, his face calm, but behind his sses, his eyes were a little hazy. Leaning slightly, he removed his sses and ced them on the table, In any case, as a student, you cant get pregnant right now. With that, he turned around and went back into the bathroom. Mo Weiyi stood there, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in deep thought. So what if she was a student? Couldnt students get pregnant? Although she was a student, she didnt exactly love studying Though the displeasure was quickly reced by the sorrow of parting. Thinking about how she wouldnt see Xiaobai for a whole week, Mo Weiyi quickly checked the time. Eight oclock flight, leave for the airport at six, they still had an hour and a half. * * Xiao Yebai quickly came out after taking a shower. He stood tall at 188 cm, his frame lean and well-proportioned, without any excess fat, sleek yetmanding. Unlike other men, his skin was particrly fair, with the well-defined muscle structure adding to his masculinity, exuding a strong aura of male hormones.. Chapter 221: 221, Immortal beauty Chapter 221: Immortal beauty Trantor: 549690339 As he walked towards her with a stoic expression, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but swoon and marvel once again. Just how unearthly attractive was he? How on earth did she have such good taste in men? He could totally upstage Xiaobais glorious handsomeness! Xiao Yebai nced at her before heading straight to the wardrobe. He had just pulled out a dark-colored shirt Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi hugged him from behind, her face nestled against him, her voice soft and coy. Xiao Yebais eyes stiffened, a wave of turmoil flickered in his deep gaze, Stop it. Mo Weiyi sensed the subtle change in his voice, pursed her lips, and pouted, Im not messing around, dont you miss it? Its been days since west We dont have time right now, he interjected. We still have an hour and a half, I believe you can manage. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow before slowly speaking, I have to make a trip to the industrial park. Then you just need to be quick, isnt it? When it came to matters of intimacy, Mo Weiyi was never shy. Mainly because Xiao Yebai was always so solemn, it always took her repetitive hints for him to show his true nature. He was truly a refined gentleman with a hidden wild side! Xiao Yebai felt the dialogue was a bit outrageous, but it was really not the right moment. Zhong Kai is waiting downstairs. Behave. But Im going to miss you. Mo Weiyi clung to the tall man like a ko. She pouted her lips and whined, Im so bored staying alone at home every day. Its such a hassle to go out with my foot injured, and now you have to go on a business trip. I wont have anyone to keep mepany. A speck of helplessness shed across the mans eyes, then he gently replied, Ill be back as soon as Im finished with work. Mo Weiyi pouted and finally let go. She watched him get dressed. His handsome features, efficient movements, long slender fingersjust so elegant and beautiful. How could a man look so attractive even when getting dressed? Once Xiao Yebai was fully dressed and started packing his suitcase, Mo Weiyi looked at him squatting and spoke up again, Xiaobai, remember to text me once youre in Haicheng. Okay. Drink less when youre socializing. Im going to call you at 10PM. Okay. Bring me a gift when youe back. His response was different this time. Xiao Yebai replied, Im going there for work. You can still make time to buy me a gift. Also, the Mid-Autumn Festival is next week, were going back to our old house. You can just get local specialties from Haicheng. Understood. Finally, after packing his luggage, Xiao Yebai stood up. Gathering all the necessary documents and picking up his coat, he was ready to leave. Wait a moment. Mo Weiyi came over, lifting her chin, Xiaobai, hug. Xiao Yebai approached her. Even before he was close, Mo Weiyi had already reached out her hands. Weiyi. Xiao Yebai sighed quietly, taking her hand. Mo Weiyi, with her beautiful cat-like eyes, looked at him with a coquettish charm. She hung limp in his arms like a boneless creature, her voice mimicking a little animals coo, Xiaobai, Xiaobai A young girl like you, arent you embarrassed to speak like this? Xiao Yebai said as his fingers unknowingly caressed her soft cheeks. Youre my husband, were old married couple, whats there to be embarrassed about? Mo Weiyi said it like it was the most natural thing. She loved Xiaobai, loved touching him, and loved doing all the most intimate things a man and a woman could do. Being with him always felt sweet and joyful, she never felt that it was unbing of ady to act this way. She had set her heart on him ever since they were young and had always contrived ways to have him notice her. Theyve known each other for ten years, childhood sweethearts, and were each others first. This kind of lifelong love made her feel incredibly lucky. Aside from Xiaobai, she couldnt even fathom liking any other man. Thats why over these years, shes given herself entirely to him, willingly and unconditionally. Or else Mo Weiyi suddenly proposed, Why not take me along on your business trip? She had never been on a business trip with Xiaobai before. In fact, she rarely saw him at work, and seldom visited hispany, the Mo Family enterprise. Most importantly, she didnt want to be apart from Xiaobai for a whole week. Xiao Yebai: Her honey-blonde curls fell softly on her shoulders, her cheeks flushed with a hint of redness. Her current spoiled demeanor was unknowingly quite enticing. He said, Behave. Although reluctant, Mo Weiyi could tell he was refusing. She had to let go, Alright then, tell Zhong Kai to drive slowly. Okay. Watching Xiao Yebai go downstairs, Mo Weiyi turned around to return to their room and dialed a call to her grandfather. On hearing that Xiao Yebai was going away on business for a few days, her grandfather suggested, Thene stay at the old house. I dont want to, have Aunt Zhoue and keep mepany instead.. Chapter 222: 222, Little Princess Chapter 222: Little Princess Trantor: 549690339 | Mo Weiyi doesnt like staying overnight at the old house. Ever since the incident with her mother a few years ago, she always felt that the old house was gloomy and creepy. Especially at night, she didnt dare to wander around alone or sleep alone in a room. By the way, Grandpa. Mo Weiyi grabbed a pink rag doll and hugged it in her arms, My aunt and her family have been at the old house for several days now. They didnt upset you, did they? Do you think I am the kind of person who gets mad easily? Mo Weiyi pouted, Then why do you always vent your anger on Xiaobai? The history of Mo Familys fortune wasnt honorable. When Old Master Mo was young, he did all sorts of smuggling and ck market trading. He was known in the underworld as Lord Yan of Mo, notorious for his vtile and irascible temper. Although heter retired from his shady business and started a legitimate one, it didn t mean his temper had also retreated. The most evident instance was how he treated Xiaobai. Ever since Xiao Yebai joined the Mo family, Yebai rarely saw the old man showing a friendly face to him, not knowing why he disliked him so much Old Master Mo said, Isnt it just because he always bullies you? That brat, if he dares to do something to wrong you, Ill kick him out directly! Grandpa! Mo Weiyi grasped the face of the rag doll tightly, Xiaobai treats me very well. Dont you dare have such thoughts! He is my husband, your grandsoninw, could you please stop speaking of him in such a manner! Men all have their pride, especially Xiaobai. Although he appears gentle and refined outwardly, the public pressure hes borne over the years is too heavy Hmph. Old Master Mo grumbled haughtily, Then it better be this way, otherwise?????????????????? Why are you so strict with Xiaobai? I havent seen you take such a hard stand against my aunt and my cousin. Mo Weiyi grumbled. They are just guests, how could that be the same? Old Master Moughed, Also, whats-her-name has been away and neveres home, I can barely see her.??????????? Who, Auntie? Your cousin. She said she is going to Haicheng tomorrow. So mysterious for such a young age. Haicheng? A sudden realization shed across Mo Weiyis mind. What a coincidence? Xiaobai is also going on a business trip to Haicheng. Grandpa, why is Qu Yunyao going to Haicheng? Why bother what shes doing? Im only concerned about my own granddaughter. Old Master Mo chuckled, Hows it going? When will your foot recover? Come back frequently after you ve fully recovered and chat with this old man. Its almost there. I went for a reexamination today. The doctor said it would recover in about two weeks. Mo Weiyi thought for a while and said, Grandpa, could you ask my aunt to send me Yunyaos mobile number? Old Master Mo didnt ask for the reason and agreed. Shortly after they hung up the phone, Xu Hui called and gave the phone number to Mo Weiyi. Mo Weiyi asked casually, Auntie, why is Yunyao going to Haicheng? Shes going with her boyfriend. Im not sure about their specific ns, maybe theyre going on a trip. She has a boyfriend? Mo Weiyi recalled that Yunyao seemed to be single. Yes, I just found out too. This girl is very good at keeping secrets. She and her boyfriend started dating in America, but she never told me. Well, alright. * The next day. As Mo Weiyi came downstairs after getting up, Aunt Jiang had already arrived. I have to go to the campus this afternoon. Aunt Jiang, why dont youe along? As soon as Aunt Jiang heard about going to the school, her face instantly turned uneasy, Princess, can can I not go? Did your son break up with Feifei? Aunt Jiang hesitated, No. As expected, Wanwan was right. This Li Feifei, could it be that she was coaxed by some jewels or valuables again? Mo Weiyi tugged at her red lips, It seems, Li Feifei is not such a gold digger after all, Aunt Jiang, you dont have to worry about your son anymore. But Aunt Jiangs face revealed hesitation, Princess, I think Ill pass on going to the school, otherwise Feifei would feel embarrassed if she sees me. Mo Weiyi looked at Aunt Jiang without speaking. Today she was wearing a ck dress, covered with a deep coffee-colored coat and wore brick-red lipstick that contrasted with her fair skin. She exhibited a sort of ssical charm. The silent, noble, and cold look at this moment gave her a particrly assertive aura. Aunt Jiang felt guilty under her gaze. Then Mo Weiyi said, Alright then, you can tidy up the dressing room at home. Xiaobai is going on a business trip these few days, so gather all his out-of- season clothing and send them to theundry. Alright, Princess. When Mo Weiyi left, Aunt Jiang finally heaved a sigh of relief. Having worked here for more than two years, she knew Mo Weiyi had a simple nature, and having lived a pampered life since childhood, had developed a delicate lifestyle. She loved luxury and was generous, yet had no concept of money, and paid even less attention to her own jewelry and clothes. Mr. Xiao was different, despite being reticent he had an extreme attention to detail, which is why she never dared to touch his things. In the beginning, she only dared to take home some fruits, food, and drinks. Once she found out that Mo Weiyi waspletely oblivious, she began taking insignificant jewelry and cosmetics. After taking these things home, most of them were sold off by her son. Over the two years, she had earned quite a bit and Mo Weiyi seemed to never notice until that pair of earrings At that time, she saw that the earrings were new and beautiful, and yet Mo Weiyi had never worn them. They had been in the bottom drawer of her dressing table all this while. Most likely, Mo Weiyi had so many pieces of jewelry, she must have forgotten all about it. Chapter 223: 223, Welcome Party Chapter 223: Wee Party Trantor: 549690339 | It was mishandled, but she didnt expect Mo Weiyi to question it unexpectedly. When she asked her son at home, he told her that he had already sold it. She was so nervous those days that she worked extraordinarily. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi didnt question any further, and she finally settled down. Meeting Li Feifei at Nancheng University was purely an ident. She rarely went to school with Mo Weiyi and it was only the second time she met Li Feifei. At that time, she was really panicked, fearing that the Little Princess would think she was deceitful and had a bad character, and thus fire her. She really couldnt lose this job; not to mention the sry was doublepared to other servants, the working hours were not long, no need to live in, it was convenient to ask for leave, not to mention that there were so many hidden perks Out of helplessness, she had to take a gamble and call Mr. Xiao for help. Mr. Xiao is cold in nature, but as long as he is willing to help and Mo Weiyi loves him so much that he listens to him almost everything, he will certainly forgive her. As expected, with the help of Mr. Xiao, Mo Weiyi asked her toe back to work the next day without any further suspicion on her. ** In the afternoon, Nancheng University. The weing party was at three in the afternoon, held in the universitys grand hall. When they reached the gate of the school, Mo Weiyi said, Rong An, stop here. Princess, let me take you in. No need, Wanwan wille to pick me up, you go do what I told you, Im afraid there wont be enough time. Rong An had no choice but to stop the car. In three hours, have old Liu drive and pick me up. After saying this, Mo Weiyi got out of the car. The ck Audi slowly drove away. Mo Weiyi turned around and raised her eyes, instantly seeing a bright red banner hanging at the main entrance of the school. [Warmly Wee the Leaders of Huo Yuan Group to Inspect!] Huo Yuan Group? Mo Weiyi raised her delicate eyebrows, took out her phone and sent a message to Su Wanwan, Is your boss Huoing to watch your performance today? Miss? Miss? A hand suddenly appeared in front of her, shaking twice. At the same time, a foul smell came over. Mo Weiyi subconsciously held her breath. Miss, can I borrow your phone? A voice suddenly came very close. Mo Weiyi looked up, and at the same time, supported herself with a crutch, immediately taking a step back. In front of her stood a young stranger, wearing a denim jacket, dyed hair in a ring yellow, with thin cheeks. Because they were so close, Mo Weiyi immediately saw his oily face and a few un-popped pimples. Right now, he was looking at her with eyes showing too much whites, even though he had a smile on his face, his gaze was lewd, with ill intentions. Mo Weiyi didnt want to pay him any mind. Just as she was about to turn around, the guy quickly moved closer again, repeating the same sentence, Miss, can I borrow your phone? No! Despite being repudiated, the man still forced out a smile, Miss, I lost my phone and I didnt bring any money with me, could you do me a favor? Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes and tone full of mockery, Please, what era is it? Do you find this way of trying to pick up girls outdated? Miss, Im really in a hurry. You misconstrue. Im no bad guy. As he spoke, the man moved closer again. At the same time, another wave of nasty, greasy smell came over. Mo Weiyi felt like throwing up.. Chapter 224: 224, Smelly Man Chapter 224: Smelly Man Trantor: 549690339 | She knew that most men werent that fond of cleanliness. Thats why people often said stinky men. But in her real life, she rarely encountered this type of man. Furthermore, her taste had been shaped by her husband since childhood. Encountering this grimy, dirty face, brazen, uncouth and lowly bully right now was truly annoying. Suppressing her urge to hold her nose, she attempted to leave with her cane, but the man quickly stepped forward, blocking her path. Mo Weiyi felt revolted and impatient. Her face darkened as she sternly warned, This is a school. Miss, I havent done anything, why are you calling the police? Seeing Mo Weiyi getting angry, Song Quanssciviousughter only deepened. He leaned in closer still, lowering his voice and deliberately teased with an ambiguous tone, Look at how scared you are, Im not a bad guy, I absolutely adore younger sisters Mo Weiyi felt sick to her stomach. She gripped her cane, considering whether or not to hit him with it when Mo Weiyi. It was the ss monitor. Another ssmate was by his side. Both of them were tall and strong. They might have sensed something was off and quickly approached. Mo Weiyi, do you know this man? No, he suddenly asked to borrow my phone. Mo Weiyi replied, using her cane to move away. Lets go. Alright. Song Quan stood there, his eyes lingering on Mo Weiyis retreating figure. He had been hanging around this university for several days, yet he had not seen Mo Weiyi. Just when he began to doubt Xiao Zhiwei, he fortuitously saw her getting out of an Audi today. No wonder he couldnt find this chick; he had overlooked the most important point: rich youngdies had chauffeurs to transport them, so they would never be out alone. In that case, he needed to alter his ns. He had just taken advantage of her looking at her phone to observe her up close. She was even more beautiful than the fleeting glimpse he had caught before. Especially her skin, so white and delicate, without a single pore visible. He supposed that her body must be just as smooth and soft. He began to imagine Dirty, vulgar images filled his mind, and refused to fade away. * * Mo Weiyi quickly followed the ss monitor to the school auditorium, which was already full of people. Her arrival caused quite a stir. However, after just one look, Mo Weiyi bid the monitor farewell, and headed towards the backstage by herself. To her surprise, the backstage was even more crowded. People were putting on makeup, changing clothes, and still others were cramming in ast-minute rehearsal. It was bustling and lively. Mo Weiyi looked around for Su Wanwan, but didnt manage to spot her, instead one of the girls from their dormitory approached her first. Mo Weiyi, are you here to watch the performance? Yes. Mo Weiyi asked her, Where is Li Feifei? Shes putting on makeup. Mo Weiyi looked in that direction. Li Feifei was sitting in front of an improvised makeup table, with a professional stylist attending to her. Then she looked at Li Feifeis outfit. A long, light-coloredce dress, crystal high heels, and a small princess crown on her carefully arranged hair. At first nce, she really did resemble Todo Shizu. Chapter 225: 225, Boss Huo Chapter 225: Boss Huo Trantor: 549690339 | Mo Weiyi didnt expect that shed have the audacity to wear those red earrings. This made things easier. After sending a WeChat message to Su Wenwen, she returned to the hall and found herself a seat. It wasnt long before people slowly filled up the seats around her. As the opening music began to y energetically, the hosts took to the stage. * * Su Wenwen hastily made her way backstage, where she saw a crowd of girls peeking from behind the curtain. As she was about to join them Next, allow me to present our special guest from the Huo Yuan Group: Huo Jingshen! Please give him a warm wee! Huo Jingshen? Hearing this name, Su Wenwen was taken aback. Youre kidding, right? She thought shed misheard, but when she tiptoed to take a look down at the stage Holy cow! The man that had just walked in Was indeed Huo Jingshen! He was dressed in a ck suit, paired with a white dress shirt and a burgundy tie. He was groomed neatly down to his sideburns. His tall, nearly 1.9-metre tall frame along with his handsome, slightly stern features made him stand out among the crowd. His mature aura characteristic of those in high positions put him in the limelight. Walking with long strides, he showed no emotion as he reached the VIP seats at the front, shaking hands with the school leaders. When he was invited to take the central seat, he slightly curved his lips into a smile. The sh of his smile stirred waves of excitement in the crowd. Su Wanwan could practically hear the gasps and screams of surprise from the women. All from female attendees! Including the group of girls beside her! Feeling irritated, she was about to turn away Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan! Her arm was suddenly grabbed. Zhao Qianqian was almost shrieking, Oh my god, did you see it? Isnt this Mr. Huo incredibly handsome? Mr. Huo? Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan said, So youre such a fangirl? Whats wrong with being a fangirl? Zhao Qianqian giggled, Who could have imagined such a high-status man would attend our party? Its usually Mr. Zhang, who is short, fat, and bald with a beer belly. Are you telling me you dont find Mr. Huo handsome? Coughing awkwardly, Su Wanwan said, Hes okay, I guess. Okay? My god, this is more than just okay! Another female ssmate chimed in, I think Mr. Huo is way more handsome than those young idols! Most importantly, hes so young! Unable to control herself, Su Wanwan blurted out, Hes already 30. Hows that young? A thirty-year-old man is old. How could anyonepare him with young idols? How could they say hes young with a clear conscience? How did you know hes 30? Zhao Qianqian stared at her. Su Wanwan was taken aback, I Im guessing. A 30-year-old man is prime material! Mature, stable, and approachable! Exactly! I wonder if hes married? How can such a catch like him be married? If only he could be my boyfriend Give it up! Hes already married! His wife is incredibly beautiful! blurted out Su Wanwan again. This time all the girls turned to look at her, bombarding her with questions: How do you know hes married? How do you know his wife is incredibly beautiful? Do you know him? Su Wanwan could only repeat, Err I guessed. Everyone: Thankfully, the female hosts voice sounding again saved her. Su Wanwan quickly excused herself, I have to go change. Chapter 259: 259, incompatible Chapter 259: ipatible Trantor: 549690339 | I get it. Xing Siqing suddenlyughed, Did you get upset after hearing that grandmother presented Sister Jingyi with that ne for her dowry? Let me remind you, Sister Jingyi and elder brother were properly engaged during their childhood. Who do you think you are? You havent even had a wedding ceremony yet, how ridiculous. Whats it to you? Su Wanwan squinted, Youre a dog trying to catch a mouse C a meddler. Are you happy being herpdog? I would almost suspect youre her maid. You Siqing. Chu Jingyis voice rang outzily, I need to be somewhere else Ill leave first. Sister Jingyi, wait for me! Xing Siqing feigned the intent to follow her but she quickly lowered her voice and hurriedly said, Since you already heard Ill be open about it. Sister Jingyi has already divorced, she came back to the country to reconcile with elder brother. Your position as Mrs. Huo will soon be filled by someone else. Look at you, then look at Sister Jingyi, you are not even worthy of carrying her shoes! You can neverpete with her! I cant wait to see how long you can keep up this pretense! Humph! After saying this, she left with a triumphant smile. Su Wenwen stood there, knowing clearly that Xing Siqing only wanted to provoke her, but she indeed felt irritated. Because she was unaware of many things, and obviously, Huo Jingshen had chosen to hide them from her. By the time she was about to re-enter the banquet hall, she suddenly felt the desire to leave. Inside, an object was being auctioned. Su Wenwen stood in the door, hearing the lively voice of the announcer calling out, Starting at 4 million! 4-5 million! 5 million! 5 million for the first time, 5 million for the second 6 million. The room was filled with gasps of surprise when this bid was ced. Su Wanwan looked over. Sure enough, the woman raising the paddle and shouting the price was Chu Jmgyi. Being the eldest granddaughter of the Chu Family, naturally beautiful elegantly dressed, and raising the bid by a full million at once, she immediately captured everyones attention. Su Wanwan even heard many people discussing enthusiastically near the entrance: Miss Chu is truly generous. A picture is worth a thousand words, I never expected Miss Chu to be this beautiful. Not just beautiful, she is also highly talented. Exactly, her traditional Chinese painting has even won international awards! She is truly the pride of the Chu family! The announcer asked, Miss Chu Jingyi bids 6 million, is there anyone else? At this moment, the deep voice of Huo Jingshen rang out, 8 million! Another wave of gasps swept the room, this time because the bid jumped directly from 6 million to 8 million. The CEO of the Huo Yuan Group, Mr. Huo has bid 8 million, 8 million for the first time, 8 million for the second 9 million! Chu Jingyi again. Laid-back, casual, exuding confidence, yet seemingly indifferent, as if she were merely calling out random numbers with no consideration for the cost. Su Wenwen suddenly felt a sensation inside of her that she had never felt before. All this time, she had been living carefree, never doubting herself. But now, she truly sensed the gap that existed between her and Chu Jingyi, and how out of ce she was in this setting. She observed Huo Jingshen. He calmly held up his paddle and signaled, 10 million. The announcer was all excited, he held up the microphone, about to speak 11 million! Chu Jingyi again. 11 million, Miss Chu has bid 11 million Huo Jingshen continued, 12 million. 13 million. 14 million. 15 million. 17 million. II II The room had turned into a battlefield for this man and woman. The protagonists were Huo Jingshen and Chu Jingyi. The two seemed to bepeting with one another stealthily, each bent on winning this auction. But to Su Wenwens eyes, it was not much different from flirting in public. After all, for them, money was just a bunch of insignificant numbers. Su Wenwen turned around and walked decisively towards the exit of the hall. ** Inside the banquet hall, thepetition was still ongoing. 20 million. 21 million. 22 million. Until then, Huo Jingshen suddenly made his move, 25.2 million. The room burst into whispers. Buzzing because of the special significance of this number, and because he raised the bid by over three million Just as Chu Jingyi was about to raise her paddle again, someone reached over and pushed her paddle down. Ahuang? Sister, why not let the man have his glory? Chu Xiuhuangs seat was exactly behind her, he seemed to be there specifically to stop her.????????????????????????? This made Chu Jingyi feel a bit upset. She replied, 1 just sold that emerald ne, I feel this one couldpensate for my loss. Moreover, it would suit me better. This was an imperial green jade ne, exquisitely crafted and delicate It was said to have been bought at a high price from the descendants of some European royal family, passed down through the ck market, and ultimately collected by the Chu family, with a starting price of 3 million. Such expensive and dazzling jewelry is perfect with her red evening gown tonight. This is a gift Brother is preparing for his wife, Chu Xiuhuang rified bluntly, Sister, youve yed the part of a green leaf enough, why waste this money unnecessarily? Waste of money? Chu Jingyis pupils contracted slightly. The announcer in the background continued to call, 25.2 million! 25.2 million for the first time, for the second time, for the third time, CEO Huo from Huo Yuan Groups bid of 25.2 million for the third time! Chu Xiuhuang puckered his thin lips, and finally released his hold. Meanwhile, the announcer banged his gavel: Sold! Next, please wee Mr Huo, the winner of this auction, to the stage. Lets give him a big round of apuse. Chapter 266: 266, Weiyi, do you love me? Chapter 266: Weiyi, do you love me? Trantor: 549690339 Even though he moved swiftly, even though he was still wearing sses, and even though his face remained as impassive as ever, Mo Weiyi still detected a momentary sh of evasion in his eyes. Xiaobai, are you actually jealous? Mo Weiyi questioned, hardly able to believe it. This man, who always seemed aloof and uninterested in the affairs of others, who only showed his true colors when she relentlessly clung to him, was now Feeling jealous? Xiao Yebai picked up his teacup and elegantly took a sip. Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi grinned at him, the water is cold. They had returned to their old residence for these past few days and all the household staff were on holiday, she wasnt sure how long that water had been there. Xiao Yebai gave her a look, Whats actually going on? Facing her warm, radiant face which was sweet as the sun, his expression remained inscrutable and unaffected, his voice was as well. Mo Weiyi continued to innocently hang onto this mans arm, tilting her face and gazing up at him from below, Dont worry, Chu Xiuhuang is just a scoundrel. Remember when I was almost engaged to him, only to break it off? He probably still harbors resentment towards me for that, ha ha ha. So whats the story with the watch? Mo Weiyis smile began to strain. Has he not given up on this topic yet? Looking at his emotionless handsome face, Mo Weiyi sighed and feltpelled to say, I saw a watch that I liked and wanted to buy it as a holiday gift for you. But that day I forgot my card, and Chu Xiuhuang offered to buy it for me. Of course, I refused, but he still had it delivered to our vi. Worried that Xiao Yebai might not believe her, Mo Weiyi raised her little hand, I promise, as soon as I saw that watch arrive, I immediately sent it back to the Chu Familys house by courier, and even had the courier suggest it was a birthday gift from Chu Xiuhuang for the old man. Xiao Yebai looked at her, Why would he buy it for you? Maybe, Mo Weiyi chuckled, He has too much money and doesnt know what to do with it. Having said that, she immediately clung to him again, Xiaobai, dont worry. I really have no feelings for him. Even back then, I only agreed to engage with him to purposely make you angry. Xiao Yebai gazed at her fixedly, his eyes behind the sses were deep and inscrutable. Then, he lowered his head, approaching the charming and sweet woman beside him. Suddenly, they were very close. Looking into her clear and beautiful eyes, he suddenly spoke, Weiyi. Huh? Do you love me? The mans voice was too close, deep, rich, and maic C utterly enchanting. Blurred by his charm, Mo Weiyi lost rationality and instinctively responded in a soft and sweet tone, Of course, I love you. Youre the one I love most, Xiaobai. A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yebais thin lips. It was fleeting. * * * After all these happenings, by the time they returned to their old residence in the evening, it was just before dinner. Mo Weiyi had also changed into new clothes. She wore a high-cored dress that she tied up to the neck, with a touch of vintage European court style. Paired with orange-red lipstick and a delicate littlembskin handbag she was holding, she looked chic and vibrant. Upon entering the dining room, to her surprise, she saw the woman she disliked the most Qu Yunyao was sitting right there. Mo Yaoxiong exined, After hearing about your aunts sudden car ident, Yunyao rushed back immediately. Is that so? Mo Weiyi responded indifferently and removed her scarf before sitting down.. Chapter 281 - 281, more than once 281, more than once Trantor: 549690339 Jian Shuhaos originally warm and slightly smiling face turned expressionless in an instant, Didnt you already heard it? Lin Qiao: She had heard, but she couldnt believe it. She had hoped he would deny it, but as it turned out He admitted it so straightforwardly! Jealousy made her furious, and some words slipped out her mouth, What have you progressed with that slut? What nonsense are you talking about? Jian Shuhaos face turned cold, Really absurd! Im absurd? Lin Qiao sneered, Did you just fall for her so quickly? I remember in high school, you told me that you would never like a little punk such as her, who has no ambition, only knows how to drink, fight and skip ss. Why now People change. Jian Shuhao interrupted her impatiently, Just like you, look at yourself now. I remember in high school, all you did was study hard, hoping to enter South University with me, but now what? Isnt all this because of you! Ever since Su Wanwan came to this ss, your mind hasnt been here. Do you think I didnt see you secretly looking at her? Always trying to find a close seat to hers, even inviting her to join esports club, when you were nning to quit this year! Even so, what does it have to do with you? Jian Shuhaos expression and tone were filled with displeasure, Lin Qiao, weve broken up. Who I like, who I pursue, who I want to be with, has nothing to do with you and you no longer have the right to control me! Well, you finally admit it, dont you? Since when did it start? Tell me, tell me! Lin Qiao madly grabbed his arm, demanding an exnation. Nothing to say. Jian Shuhao said, shook off her hand, and turned to leave. Dont you know shes already married? Lin Qiaos voice suddenly rang out again. Jian Shuhao paused and said, Impossible. She herself said it that day, didnt you forget? Jian Shuhao sighed, Lin Qiao, I really have business, have to go now. Shuhao. Lin Qiao approached and grabbed his hand again, Shuhao, listen to me, Su Wanwan is not what you think. I have seen her messing around with men more than once, and each time its a different man. Once, I saw her bring a very tall man back to the dormitory, and another time, a fifty-something man drove a Rolls Royce to pick her up. I took photos of everything. Honestly, I didnt lie to you, that floozy doesnt deserve your feelings Ah! Lin Qiao was pushed away and hit the nearby wall. Her shoulder ached. Then, Jian Shuhaos harsh voice sounded, Lin Qiao, can you have a little self- respect? We already broke up, I dont like you anymore. Dont keep clinging to me in the future and stop spreading ill talk about others! Can you? He said and walked away. Lin Qiao leaned against the wall, sped her hands, her lips were tightly clenched, the bottom of her eyes were full of defiance and hatred. ** Meanwhile. Mo Weiyi returned to the Mo Familys old residence around two in the afternoon. Originally, she didnt n oning back. But Mo Yaoxiong called her, saying that Qu Yunyaos piano grading has passed and they were going to celebrate. Yunyao even specifically bought a gift to thank her. Mo Weiyi remembered that the piano teacher was someone she had hired. Bacause when Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing first came to the house, Yunyao had been pestering Xiao Yebai all night for piano tips. The next day Mo Weiyi had arranged for a top piano teacher. It had been so long, she had almost forgotten about it. Entering the main houses living room, Old Master Mo looked at her, Where is that boy? Mo Weiyi sat on the leather sofa in the living room, swinging her long thin legs, flirtatiously flipping her soft, curly hair, and pursing her lips, Grandpa, your grandson-inw was called to work overtime at thepany. Hes working overtime for the Mo Family. He has to work overtime on the weekend? The Old Master Mo was very displeased. Nothing was more important than his granddaughter. Especially today was a weekend, what was so important that he had to go to thepany? Didnt you say you were going to watch a movie with him today? At the mention of this, Mo Weiyi was also unhappy. Initially, she and Xiao Yebai were supposed to watch a newly released romantic film, said to have earned a ton of audience tears. Who knew it would suddenly turn into a horror film? Scared out of her wits, and before she could recover, Xiao Yebai received a call to return to thepany. The romantic moment was ruined, and the wonderful weekend ended abruptly. She even had toe back here and meet the person she detests. Sister Yiyi is back. Speak of the devil, and devil is here. Qu Yunyao walked in wearing a soft pink skirt, holding a gift box in her hand. Sister Yiyi, thank you for hiring the piano teacher. I passed my grading sessfully. This is a gift for you. After she said that, she handed over the gift box. As if afraid that Mo Weiyi wouldnt ept it, she quickly followed up, I dont have much money, sothe things I bought arent very expensive. But, this is my heartfelt gift. I hope Sister Yiyi wont mind. Mo Weiyi silently looked at her face, her delicate and beautiful face turned up slightly, her appearance was delicate yet lofty. It seems like an arrogant princess, waiting for tributes. Qu Yunyao held the gift for a long time. Then, finally Mo Weiyi reached out to take the box from her hand. Chapter 282 - 282, Life Planning 282, Life nning Trantor: 549690339 | Unexpectedly, the moment her fingers touched the box, Qu Yunyao suddenly let go of her hand, and then, the gift box quickly slipped and fell. The living room floor was made of wood, and immediately, she heard a nk sound, apanied by the noise of ss shattering. Crash. Then the whole living room fell silent. Mo Weiyi was stunned. So was Qu Yunyao. A few secondster, she looked up, disbelief stered all over her face as she stared at Mo Weiyi, Weiyi, did you dislike the gift I gave you that much? Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful cat-like eyes, frowning, What do you mean by that? What happened? Mo Yaoxiong had already walked over. Mo Weiyi quickly exined, I hadnt actually gotten it yet. You let go first. But I waited until Weiyi had a hold of it before I let go. Qu Yunyao frowned, biting her pale pink lips, her expression and tone full of grievance, I spent nearly five thousand yuan on this swan vase. Five thousand yuan was indeed a substantial amount for Qu Yunyao. Mo Weiyis finely shaped brows wrinkled, Is this about the money? Qu Yunyao watched her, suppressing her emotions as she squatted down and began to untie the bow on the gift box. Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiong watched his daughter, This is the gift Yunyao specifically bought for you. She handpicked it carefully for days, not knowing what to get you, and even specifically called me for advice Ah! A sharp scream suddenly interrupted Mo Yaoxiongs words. The gift box had been opened and the ss vase inside had shattered into pieces, and Qu Yunyaos fingers seemed to be cut, with blood seeping out between her fingers. Mo Weiyi couldnt stand the sight of blood, so she quickly turned her face away. Are you okay? The elder Mo was also worried. Im fine, I identally cut my hand. Qu Yunyao gritted out through the pain. Zhou Auntie, quickly bring the medical kit. After yelling for the maid, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Mo Weiyi and scolded, Weiyi, cant you be careful? Dont you know Yunyao has to y the piano with those hands! Dad? Mo Weiyi stared incredulously at her father, Shes the one who cut her own hand, why are you ming me? Would she have got cut if you had been careful when taking the box? Mo Weiyi couldnt help but sigh with augh. Raising her head, alluring passion lit in her eyes, Dad, why dont you ask the seller, why is this thing so easy to break? After all, Yunyao spent five thousand, why didnt they pack it well? Mo Yaoxiong was left speechless by her retort, You Uncle Mo, Qu Yunyao intervened in a timely manner, its not Weiyis fault, shes right. It was my fault for not asking the shopkeeper to pack it better. It was my fault for not being careful earlier and got cut by the ss, it has nothing to do with Weiyi. This understanding behavior made Mo Yaoxiong immediately nce at his daughter again. But the gift is gone, Weiyi. I will get you another er, Qu Yunyao continued. No need. Mo Weiyi repliedzily, a casual tone slippingoff her tongue, Just dont hurt yourself again, or else my dad will me me again. Mo Yaoxiongs face immediately turned red, Weiyi! What nonsense are you speaking! Mo Weiyi grunted and sat down, ignoring her father with an indifferent look. Stop arguing. The elder Mo said, Its rare that my granddaughteres home for dinner, if theres anymore noise, all of you get out! The living room finally fell silent, and no one spoke. It wasnt until the maid brought over the medical kit and helped Qu Yunyao with her wound. Qu Yunyao sat there, let out a pained groan when her finger was touched with iodine. Frown lines deepened as she eximed again and again, non-stop. To Mo Weiyi, this was so dramatic. It was just a small cut, but the way she screamed made it sound like she was doing it on purpose for all to hear. Finally, after all her wounds had been treated, Aunt Zhou said, Its okay, the cut wasnt deep. Just avoid water, and it will heal in a couple of days. Old Master Mo sighed relieved, Thats good. Qu Yunyao also chuckled brightly, Thankyou, Aunt Zhou. The next second. That is, I have not finished editing a third of my boyfriends script, and the progress will be dyed again Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Dont worry about work, your hand is injured so dont push yourself. Qu Yunyao obediently nodded. Mo Yaoxiongs sharp eyes unavoidably locked on his daughter again and he suddenly stood up, Weiyi,e with me to the study. After Mo Weiyi followed her father out, Qu Yunyao looked at the white gauze wrapped around her hand, her lips spreading into a barely noticeable smirk. ** Inside the serious and tidy study. Mo Yaoxiong sat behind his dark desk, looking sternly at his daughter. Weiyi, since your foot is already healed, starting from next week, go to school and take your sses. No unexined absences or early leaves, understood? Mo Weiyi pouted, I understand. Although she disliked going to ss. And, Mo Yaoxiong continued, Ive always felt that, as a father, my expectations for you have been too low. Your mother passed away early, so Ive always felt like I owe her and couldnt bare to be hard on you. But now youre twenty, and its time to n for your life. Dad, what do you mean by this? Mo Weiyi didnt understand. Chapter 283 - 283, Internal Secrets 283, Internal Secrets Trantor: 549690339 Mo Yaoxiong opened the drawer behind his desk and took out a small, deep blue USB stick. This contains major cases of Mo Groups legal department over thest few years. It contains many of our internal secrets, involving many people. Take a look at it first and familiarise yourself. Mo Weiyi stared at the USB stick handed to her, Dad, but I dont understand these, I You can learn if you dont understand. Besides, you are studyingw. I hope that in the future you can apply what you have learned and help Yebai as soon as possible. Finished saying that, Mo Yaoxiong added, Remember, this document is very important, do not give it to anyone, and even more so, do not lose it casually. Oh. Mo Weiyi looked at the petite USB stick and suddenly asked, Can I ask Xiaobai if I dont understand something? Mo Yaoxiong was slightly taken aback, then he looked at his daughter and slowly said, You can. However, Yebai is very busy, do not bother him with trivial matters. If you really do not understand, you can ask me directly. Okay then. Mo Weiyi, somewhat confused, put the USB stick into her bag. * * Xiao Yebai came back before dinner. Speaking of many affairs in autumn, Mo Weiyi always felt that thepany seemed to be particrly busy recently. First, Xiao Yebai had to travel on business, and now he was always called in to work overtime on rest days. Tonights dinner was even more sumptuous than usual to celebrate Qu Yunyaos sessful piano exam. The table filled with an array of dishes wasparable to a grand banquet. Mo Weiyi had a little drink with grandfather. She didnt have much of a tolerance for alcohol, the kind that would get drunk after a single drink, so after dinner, the alcohol was already kicking in, flushing her cheeks red, shouting that she wanted to go home to sleep. Although Grandfather Mo was reluctant deep down, he knew that once a granddaughter is married, she is like water thats been poured out, her heart is no longer at home. He waved his hand, allowing the young couple to leave first. * * * Seated in Xiao Yebais ck Bentley, as soon as the car started, Mo Weiyi moved closer to Xiao Yebai, hugged his arm with a grin, and cozily called, Xiaobai Dont move around. The mans voice was deep and maic, slightly stern. Im not moving around. Im just a bit dizzy. I want to hold you. Mo Weiyi rested her chin on his arm, her cheeks rosy, and her clear cat eyes shone brightly as she stared at him unblinkingly. After a while, Xiao Yebais eyebrows slightly furrowed, Weiyi, dont distract me while Im driving. Im not distracting you. Am I not allowed to just look at you? I havent done anything. Mo Weiyi blinked innocently and continued to stare at him. Xiao Yebai: He was driving, and Mo Weiyi had again started to dote on him obsessively. How could her man be so good-looking? Clean. Handsome. Elegant. Especially that skin, fair and delicate, without any blemishes, almost identical to hers. His look while wearing sses was particrly cultured and graceful, enough to make any woman fall for him instantly. But he was her man! Mo Weiyi smiled, her gorgeous eyes filled with joy. What to do? She felt she was bing bolder, just looking at him like this, she couldnt help want to pounce on him. Xiao Yebai: Until the ck Bentley stopped by the roadside with a screech. Xiao Yebai turned his head, his eyes deep as ink behind the sses. Xiaobai, what are you going to do? Mo Weiyi bit her lip, her beautiful cat eyes gazed at him, innocent yet slightly bewildered, with a hint of mischief. Xiao Yebai held the usual indifferent expression. He unbuckled his seatbelt, then reached over to unbuckle Mo Weiyis seatbelt as well. Xiaobai? With her hands wrapped around him, she asked, What are you going to do? Xiao Yebai kept silent. Xiaobai? Are you going to do something naughty? Xiaobai? Naughty Xiaobai? Outside, there was suddenly a horn honking and the roar of car tires scraping across the road. Chapter 284 - 284, Mysterious Gift 284, Mysterious Gift Trantor: 549690339 That night, Su Wanwan received a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi. [Baby Wanwan, what are you and Boss Huo up to?] Su Wanwans mouth twitched repeatedly. She wanted to act as if she hadnt seen the message, but Mo Weiyi quickly sent another one. [Can you guess what Xiaobai and I were just doing?] Su Wanwan again: Could she pretend she doesnt know this woman? What else were they doing anyway? But no, Mo Weiyis video call came through. Su Wanwan hung up immediately. Then Mo Weiyi sent another message. [I mean, its reallyte. I shouldnt disturb you and Huo Jing doing xxoo!] xxoo? Seeing these letters, Su Wanwan wanted to throw her phone against the wall. In fact, she did just that. Having thrown her phone onto the couch, it bounced once What are you throwing your phone for? Huo Jingshens low and maic voice suddenly echoed in her ears. Su Wanwans eyelids twitched involuntarily; she stood up subconsciously, Im going to take a shower. Hmm. Huo Jingshen looked pleased. Seeing his fox-like expression, Su Wanwan felt her heart pound out of fear. She still clearly remembered thest time at the old mansion, let alone the time before Now, it had been several days since theyst saw each other. She swiftly walked into the bathroom, locking the door as if afraid he might follow her in. Sure enough, just as she was about to turn on the shower, she heard the doorknob being turned. What are you doing! Su Wanwan hurriedly shouted, You cante in! Huo Jingshen: Is she guarding against thieves? But Never mind. Why waste energy? Just then, Su Wanwans phone rang. Huo Jingshen picked it up. A message from Mo Weiyi popped up on the screen. [Have you used the gift I gave you and Huo Jing?] Gift? This Miss Mo, though silly, seems to have some EQ. * * After taking a shower, Su Wanwan realized she had made a mistake. She had rushed in and forgotten to bring her pajamas again! Thinking of the many thin, transparent strap pajamas someone had secretly bought today She absolutely refused to let him bring them to her. She wrapped herself tightly in a towel, opened the door and stepped out. She saw Huo Jingshen sitting leisurely on the couch, and he asked soberly, Baby, do you have a mysterious gift for me? What? What mysterious gift? Su Wanwan was clueless. Huo Jingshen kindly reminded her, Miss Mo, she Oh. Su Wanwan remembered. She hadnt had the chance to unwrap the gift Mo Weiyi sentst week. Su Wanwan walked to the closet, opened the door, pulled open the bottom drawer and took out a box wrapped in a floral patterned package. Huo Jingshen smiled as he received it and untied the ribbon. The moment he saw what was inside, his handsome face turned utterly ck. As for Su Wanwan Ahhhhhhhh! She rushed over instantly. Attempting to grab it back, she bit his hand when he refused to let go. Huo Jingshen grimaced in pain, Let go. But Su Wanwan refused to let go, biting like a wild animal. Not until the taste of blood spread in her mouth Okay, okay. Huo Jingshen tossed it aside, I threw it. Only then did Su Wanwan let go. Huo Jingshen looked down at his hand, spotting the clear toothmarks and emerging drops of blood. This girl Baby. Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek, All you do is bite people all day. Are you a dog or something? Chapter 285 - 285, Male Chauvinism 285, Male Chauvinism Trantor: 549690339 This Mo Weiyi, such a generous gift giver! Absolutely. Alright, alright. Huo Jingshen felt like he was cajoling a child, Dont worry. In reality, deep down, Huo Jingshen was quite the chauvinist. Why would he ever need such a thing? That would make him seem like he wasnt doing well enough as a husband. Su Wanwan said, Then you better throw it away. No. No, you have to throw it away! Leaving it behind would be nothing but trouble! Everything about it made her ufortable! Huo Jingshen said, Its wasteful. Youre bullying me again! Su Wanwan looked up, her eyes usatory, as tears seemed to be on the verge of falling. Alright, alright. Dont cry. Dont cry. Huo Jingshen kept cajoling her, Be good, Ill give it to KO as a chew toyter. Su Wanwan: * * The next day, as soon as Su Wenwen woke up, the first thing she did was call Mo Weiyi. Mo Xiaose! If you dare send me random gifts again Ill cut off all ties with you! No more! No more! Repeating important things three times. Mo Weiyi looked aggrieved, Wanwan, whats gotten into you? Why did you even send me that thing! Ah! Su Wenwen roared. Immediately, Mo Weiyi burst intoughter, So, did you use it? Shut up! Su Wenwen, her face reddening, interrupted her, I dont need that kind of thing! If you send it again, Ill cut off all ties with you! No more! No more! Tch, every time I ask you, you refuse to tell me. I was thinking that maybe your husband Mr Huo wasnt doing well, so you were unsatisfied. I took such trouble to help you. My husband is amazing, so stop buying those things! Did you hear me? Really? Mo Weiyi actually doubted? Su Wenwen gritted her teeth and yelled into the phone, Yes, really! Then I can rest easy. Mo Weiyi said cheerfully, Ill start attending sses at school next week, so we can have lunch together every day. I dont want to have lunch with you! Humph! Su Wenwen was still angry, and ended the call abruptly. Mo Weiyi: * * A new week was quickly approaching. Early in the morning, Su Wenwen came downstairs cheerfully. Fu Ziyang greeted his rarely seen aunt with a cute, Good morning, Auntie. Good morning, Ziyang. Su Wenwen replied cheerfully while rubbing his little head, Auntie has her drivers license now, shall I take you to schoolter? Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes, Ill go with Uncle Yang. Su Wenwen insisted, Auntie is a pretty good driver, dont you want to experience it? Back in the day, she was the only Chinese racer to make it into the top three in an amateur car race in Los Angeles. And also the only woman. Just as Su Wenwen was feeling proud Youre not allowed to drive. Su Wenwen was taken aback, Why? Huo Jingshen came out of the kitchen, his eyebrows and eyes clear, his long slender fingers holding two tes of hot egg pancakes. You just got your drivers license, I dont trust your driving skills. Ive known how to drive for ages! I only took the domestic drivers license test now. Su Wenwen argued. Anyway, I have to verify your skills before you can drive. Huo Jingshen put down the tes, Come and eat. Su Wenwen walked over and gave him a re. She took a bite of the egg pancake, then quickly asked, When are you going to verify then? Huo Jingshen pushed a ss of milk towards her, I dont have time today. Then when will you have time? Su Wenwen persisted. Huo Jingshen replied, Tonight. He woulde back tonight and stay the night at home. Su Wenwens eyes lit up, Okay. Chapter 286 - 286, good for nothing 286, good for nothing Trantor: 549690339 That day, Huo Jingshen drove her to school. Su Wanwan got out of the car and had just taken a few steps when a familiar ck Audi stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and first came out a foot d in a tiny red heel, revealing a pale, slender ankle, and then a slim, straight leg shed by. Mo Weiyi appeared before her eyes, wearing a brown knitted dress and draped in a red printed tassel scarf. On her petite nose sat round, brown sunsses. Her lips, painted in ssic red, exuded an air of dominance, with her lush, seaweed-like curls cascading over her shoulders. Additionally, the limited-edition pink rabbit shaped backpack she was carrying Passersby kept casting nces their way as she took off her sunsses and greeted Su Wanwan giggly, Baby Wanwan! Good morning! Su Wanwan: True to her reputation as the Little Princess of the Mo Family, even going to school was a grand affair! Rong An, you can drive ahead. Wait at the entrance of the dormitory with Aunt Zhou and the others. Yes, Princess. The ck Audi slowly drove off as Mo Weiyi cheerfully walked up to Su Wanwan, Baby Wanwan, why do you look like this when you see me? Su Wanwan replied with a forced smile, Are you really here for school? Yeah, my dad told me to study hard and get a diploma. Next term, Im supposed to intern in thepanys legal department. You? Su Wanwan looked doubtful. Yes, unfortunately. Mo Weiyi was self-aware, Just looking at those legal provisions makes me drowsy. If only I hadnt chosen this major. What else could you have chosen? Except for beauty, what else are you good at? Due to that massage stick incident, Su Wanwan waspletely unreserved in her teasing. Mo Weiyiughed, Well, it seems apart from beauty, I am good for nothing. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes: The two girls continued chatting and walking into the school. On the opposite side of the street, a young man in a denim jacket stood. He pulled the cigarette from his mouth, threw it on the ground and crushed it under his boot. * * After the g-raising ceremony, Su Wanwan went to her English ss in the teaching building, while Mo Weiyi went to the girls dormitory. Mo Weiyi walked into the dormitory with her two maids, causingplex expressions to cross the faces of the three girls inside. Ever since thatst incident, they realized how vast the gap was between them. These girls were from ordinary families, who barely managed to get by with two to three thousand yuan a month. The thought of buying lipstick would have to be considered and weighed carefully. And what of Mo Weiyi? Born privileged, beautiful, with bodyguards fetching her in luxury cars, even moving into a dormitory required the attendance of two to three maids. Consider the earrings she had, worth more than 200,000; such a beautiful item, ruined without a blink of her eye. It was a clear exhibition of her reckless wealth. As for Li Feifei, she despised Mo Weiyi to the core. If it hadnt been for her, Feifei wouldnt have lost face in front of her roommates! However, Mo Weiyi was smiling at them. Her eyes crinkled with kindness, and her speech polite, You are all eating breakfast. Ill just put away my belongings. Then she began instructing her maids. Aunt Zhou, this cupboard is mine. Help me tidy everything inside. Aunt Yang, check for anything thats unnecessary or expired and throw it away. Those sheets, bedding, etc., throw them away. Well use new ones. And this The three roommates sat there, watching as she busied around like a princess from a TV drama. The two maids, however, nodded and did as they were told. Such a scene could only be witnessed with Mo Weiyi. Chapter 287 - 287, Reincarnation is a technical activity 287, Reincarnation is a technical activity Trantor: 549690339 You could only witness such a scene happening with Mo Weiyi. Everything was finally packed up, Mo Weiyi looked at everyone and smiled slightly, Well, Im moving out. Although I cant live with you anymore, well still see each other in ss. So when you have time, maybe we can finish that meal we didnt get topletest time. You choose the ce, just call me when youre ready. Im off now, bye. After saying this, she left with her entourage, carrying big and small bags, her departure was an impressive sight. The two roommates didnt dare to speak until With a ng, Li Feifei angrily tossed her spoon on the floor. Feifei Li Feifei sneered, Whats there to act all haughty about! All she did was to be born privileged! The two roommates were angry, but dared not speak: Isnt being born into privilege, enough already? Moreover, being well-born is also a skill. If you cantpete, you have to ept it. * * Mo Weiyis new dorm room was right next to Su Wanwans. Without thinking much, its obvious she must have used some shady methods to secure this location. However, neither of them were staying on campus that night. Su Wanwan finished her afternoon sses early and went home to practice driving. That way, Huo Jingshen wouldnt have an excuse to prevent her from driving at night. As for Mo Weiyi, having attended five sses for the first time after such a long time, she felt depleted. After making a call to Rong An, she went to the schools tea shop to get a matchatte and headed towards the school gate. Being attractive, fashionably dressed, and adorned with expensive essories, she drew the attention of passersby. Mo Weiyi was used to such gazes from a young age, she stood upright there, took out her cellphone, and sent a message to Rong An. [How much longer?] Rong An replied, [Im at the intersection.] Mo Weiyi had just put down her phone. Miss. She lifted her head impatiently. A young man was standing in front of her, wearing a denim jacket and sunsses, his face obscured. However, judging by his attire and the e on his face, Mo Weiyi instantly furrowed her brows. What do you want? She said impatiently. Miss, I came to the school looking for someone, do you know thisdy? He said, showing his phone. Mo Weiyi instinctively looked over. Surprisingly, it was a zoomed in photo Are you sick? Mo Weiyis face was blushing. But not from shyness, but from anger. Disgusted to the point of anger! Even the most naive could tell, she was being sexually harassed by this man. The man, mistaking her agitation for shyness, showed his uneven teeth as heughed, whispering, Miss, this is a selfie of mine, what do you think Get lost! As Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she quickly turned around. But unexpectedly, the man suddenly grabbed her hand. The strange touch made Mo Weiyi feel like vomiting. She tried to jerk her hand back, but she was no match for his strength. Song Quan was holding her small hand, feeling excited inside. It was soft, tender, and smooth. The daughters of wealthy families sure were different C their skin was so smooth it felt like condensed milk The more Song Quan thought about it, the more captivated he was, his face beaming with a pervy grin. Lately, hes been loitering around the school. He had even followed a few male students into campus a few times, but he rarely saw Mo Weiyi. From time to time, he would catch a fleeting glimpse of her, but before he could catch up, she would be quickly whisked away in that Audi. He finally had a chance today, how could he possibly let it slip away? Chapter 288 - 288, cut off that arm 288, cut off that arm Trantor: 549690339 Looking at Mo Weiyis coy manner Song Quan couldnt help but smile, wanting to pull her into his arms. His words also started bing vulgar, Miss, why dont youe with big brother? I promise to make you Until a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind. Song Quan was annoyed. Turning his head to curse, he growled, Damn it, whos the idiot who ruined my good A fist smashed into his face. It was fast, ruthless, and urate. Song Quan felt an unbearable pain in his nose, soon followed by a strong smell of metal. A liquid slipped down his face. He reached out and touched it. Blood! Song Quan cursed, Damn it! He looked at the man in ck in front of him, Who the hell are you? Rong An paid no attention to him and instead turned to Mo Weiyi, Princess, are you alright? With a look of disgust, Mo Weiyi shook her hand, Why did it take you so long toe over! Rong An quickly lowered his head, Its my fault. This scoundrel, I dont know where he appeared from, hes infuriating! Mo Weiyi was disgusted, angry, and wronged. With teary eyes she said, Teach him a lesson. Lets see if he dares to harass people at the school gate again! Finished speaking, she turned to leave. Even a glimpse of Song Quan made her feel nauseous. She quickly opened the car door and sat inside. Song Quan wanted to chase after her, but Rong An stepped forward and grabbed his cor. His fist was already descending again. Song Quan struggled in pain. He usually fought with his friends, but he didnt expect to bepletely unable to break free. He just didnt have the strength. He didnt know that Rong An was a professional bodyguard. He held Song Quans cor with one hand, immobilizing him, and began to hit him with his right fist. Punch after punch, simple and brutal,nding repeatedly on his face. At first, Song Quan cursed back. But when he realized the man didnt listen and kept hitting him with no sign of stopping Song Quan was in unbearable pain, gradually his vision became a blurry red, and his face numbed. Eventually, he didnt dare curse back and started whimpering for help. But who dared to step forward from the crowd around them? The school security nced at the two men who didnt resemble students, waved his hand to disperse the onlookers, choosing to avoid the issue if possible. But a passerby yelled out, Quick, call no (emergency number)! At the sound of this, Song Quan, though in pain, yelled, Dont call the police! Dont Passerby: Until finally, Song Quan, with nted eyes and a crooked mouth, his face covered in blood. His groaning echoed with every hit he took. Rong An finally stopped. Upon releasing him, Song Quan copsed to the ground. He thought it was finally over. He didnt expect the man to suddenly speak. Your hand touched the princess. The voice was low and cold, devoid of any emotion. Before Song Quan could react, his right arm was suddenly lifted. He vaguely felt a bad premonition, but, before he had any time to think, there was a crack sound. Ahh! Song Quan let out a terrifying scream, finally unable to hold on, and fell unconscious. ** In the car, Mo Weiyi was still vigorously wiping her right hand with a wet tissue. Her hand, which the man had touched for such a long time, felt filthy! Opening the car door, Rong An got in. Mo Weiyi looked up, Why did it take so long? Rong An didnt speak, just started up the engine. Mo Weiyi turned her head and looked outside. Arge group of people had gathered there. She quickly turned her head back, Rong An, you didnt kill him, did you? Driving the car away, Rong An replied, No. Thats good. Rong An had been following her for many years, even longer than Xiao Yebai. When he arrived at the Mo Family, the old master assigned him as her bodyguard. In the old masters words, among all the bodyguards, Rong An was the best at boxing and of course, the most handsome. After all, Mo Weiyi had been obsessed with good looks since she was a child. Ive crippled his arm, Rong An continued in a matter-of-fact tone. Mo Weiyi nodded, Dont tell Xiaobai about this. Im fine, he just touched my hand. As you wish, princess. Mo Weiyi believed the man was a mentally disturbed exhibitionist. There were stories she had heard. Some exhibitionists liked to hang around school gates, wearing thick coats with nothing underneath, waiting for girls to pass by just to open their coats and leer. The more frightened the girls were, the more enjoyable these perverts found it. After giving such people a hard lesson, they were sure to behave in the future. Hence she didnt think much of it. It was just that when she got home, she washed her hand over and over. So when Xiao Yebai returned home at 8 pm, he found his wifesmelling strongly of hand soap. ** That night, in some hospital in Nancheng. In excruciating pain, Song Quan jolted awake. Your arm has been reattached. The doctors voice reached his ears, Your face, however, is badly injured. Especially your nasal bone, its broken. It will take a while for it to heal. Alright, thank you, doctor. With his whole face covered in gauze and his arm in extreme pain, Song Quan, with a cracked eye corner straining to see, recognized a young girl standing in his ward. She looked in her early twenties. After the doctor left, he grimaced as he asked, Who are you? Smiling, Li Feifei asked, Are you awake? Chapter 289 - 289, betrayed by someone 289, betrayed by someone Trantor: 549690339 Shut up! Song Quan squalled, and sat up from the hospital bed. My name is Li Feifei, a student at Nancheng University. I saw you injured, lying on the ground with no one helping you, so I took you to the hospital. Song Quan grumbled. He tried to move his arm, but the pain made him break out in a sweat. The doctor said your arm has just been fixed; you should try not to move it for now, Li Feifei promptly reminded him with concern. Song Quan looked at her, irritated, You can go now. Li Feifei didnt get angry, Fine, can you first pay me the medical bill in advance? Its a total of 865 yuan. Song Quan sneered, Where is my phone? Li Feifei handed over his phone. The phone had fallen to the ground when he had been beaten earlier, and the screen was now cracked, but it still worked. Song Quan took the phone, opened WeChat to pay, when Li Feifei spoke again, Are you in love with Mo Weiyi? Song Quan looked up, Who? The girl you were chasing at the school gate earlier. Her name is Mo Weiyi; shes my ssmate. Song Quans eyes lit up, Your ssmate? Yes, shes also my roommate, Li Feifei said deliberately, Shes our schools beauty, very pretty, has tons of suitors. No wonder you arent afraid of death, to get beaten up like that? Song Quan immediately countered, Damn it, that guy ambushed me, otherwise how would I get hurt this badly? Li Feifeiughed but didntment. As expected, Song Quan asked, Do you know who that guy who hit me was? Li Feifei pretended to think before replying, Im not sure, he could be her new boyfriend. She, the school beauty, is very picky and hard to pursue. If you really like her, it certainly wont work if youre this aggressive. She has too many people protecting her. Like I need you to tell me that? Song Quan cursed angrily, Damnit, Ill call my bros one day and beat that bastard up Dont ever do that! Li Feifei interrupted him abruptly, If you really like Mo Weiyi, were going out for dinner in a few days, you coulde along then and confess your feelings for her. Why resort to violence? Where are you going for dinner? Song Quan excitedly stood up. Even after getting hit this badly, youre still so relentless? Song Quan snorted, Theres no woman that Song Quan wants and doesnt get! What a tenacious sex maniac. Song Quan is that typical man who only thinks with his lower half. Since his teens, hes always pursued any woman he desires, no matter what the difficulties, and never gives up until he hits a wall. The thought of failing to get something eats him up inside. From a certain perspective, this strong sexual interest could already be considered a fetish. Having made her calctions, Li Feifei quickly came up with a n. This is my phone number, same as WeChat. She left a string of numbers, Dont hang around the school gate these days, Weiyi hates men who are dirty andckluster, and she values style. You should recover first, then buy some respectable clothes. When we have dinner, Ill introduce you. Song Quan quickly memorised the number, and casually asked, Why are you helping me? Li Feifei replied, Im not helping you, I just feel that its pitiful for you to be beaten up like this. After all, theres nothing wrong with love. Song Quan nodded, his face wrapped in bandages looked smug and contemptuous. Typical college student, reading too much makes them stupid. A few words and theyre tricked. ** Mo Weiyi waspletely unaware that she had been sold out. For the next few days, she diligently went to school, ate lunch at the cafeteria with Su Wanwan, and asionally participated in activities organised by the ss and school. As for the incident that afternoon, it never happened again. Time passed and October swiftly ended. Winter seemed to arrive particrly early in Nancheng this year. In early November, the temperature had already dropped to around ten degrees. asionally, there was still wind, making it bitterly cold. It was a Friday. In the afternoon, after twow sses, Mo Weiyi was packing up her backpack, when two of her roommates came over, hesitantly starting a conversation, Weiyi? Mo Weiyi looked up, seeing them, she immediately beamed, Whats up? The two roommates nced at each other, and then one of them spoke on behalf of both, Would you like to have dinner with us tonight? Its Feifeis birthday today, and since youve been away from the dorms for a while, were all still ssmates after all. Feifei mentioned that thest incident wasnt pleasant, so she was a bit hesitant to invite you. Sure, Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, But I didnt buy a birthday gift. She thought for a moment, Why dont I treat everyone? It can be my birthday gift to Feifei, is that okay? The roommates were delighted: Yes, yes. Weiyi, youre so kind. We already told Feifei that youre not the petty kind. Exactly. Mo Weiyi smirked inwardly but maintained a sweet smile on her face, I did say that it would be my treat. How about Dihong tonight? My family owns it and we have chefs from Michelin. Its pretty good. But Feifei has already booked a ce, one of the roommates said awkwardly. Where? She booked a room at Imperial KTV, and invited several ssmates. You dont mind, do you? Of course not. Then lets go to Imperial KTV, Mo Weiyi agreed readily. Although she hadnt been to ces like KTV for a long time, and wasnt very familiar with her ssmates. Chapter 290 - 290,tone-deaf 290,tone-deaf Trantor: 549690339 | After her roommates left, Mo Weiyi called Rong An, asking him to pick her up in the evening. Rong An was uneasy, Ille over now, KTVisnt very safe. Whats unsafe about it? Theyre all ssmates. Ill be there now. Rong An repeated. Theres no need, the KTV is near the school; besides, who in Nancheng doesnt know me? What Mo Weiyi said was not unreasonable. The Mo Family was now the talk of Nancheng, except for the wealthiest Huo Family, they wereparable to several other major families. Added with the fact that she was the only pearl in the Mo familys palm and the news of her marriage to Xiao Yebai, it was not an exaggeration to say it was known to every household. Especially in entertainment venues like KTV, who wouldnt bow to her when they saw her? But, Rong An was still uneasy and continued to repeat, Ill be there now. Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes and could only agree, Alright, youe over then. Alright. After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi found there was still time, so she called Su Wenwen, and took the chance toin about her honest bodyguard. In the end, she said, Rong An seems to be almost thirty this year, why hasnt he married yet? He doesnt even have a girlfriend. That wont do. Ive been married for two years, and my bodyguard is still single, this doesnt sound good, does it? Ill mention it to my grandfather when I get back to set him up with a beautiful girlfriend. At the Mo familys old house, Rong An had just sat in the Audi when he sneezed several times in a row. He looked up at the sky. It was dull, it looked like it was going to rain soon. The weather was getting cooler recently, princess couldnt catch a cold. Thinking it over, he got out of the car, went back and took an umbre with him. ** At six in the evening, Rong An drove Mo Weiyi to Imperial KTV. It was only two blocks away from Nancheng University. After parking the car, Mo Weiyi excitedly got out of the car, and Rong An quickly followed her. When they arrived at the agreed private room, and pushed open the door, several ssmates, including the birthday girl, were already there. As soon as Li Feifei saw Rong An, her face changed. The others were also somewhat wary. Although Rong An didnt follow her in, once the door to the room closed, Li Feifei began, Weiyi, can you tell your bodyguard not to stand by the door? Whats the matter? Mo Weiyi lifted her brows. Another roommate spoke up, Seeing him, I feel a little scared. Yeah. Li Feifei echoed, I saw the video on the forum of him beating someone, its just too scary. What? Beat someone up? When did this happen? Who did he beat up? The female ssmates immediately began asking questions in session. Li Feifei was hesitantly saying, It seemed to happen a few weeks ago. He beat up a man at the school gate, and I only found out through a post on a forum. The video was too scary, the mans face was full of blood, and his arm was broken. At the time, because Mo Weiyi got in the car, not many people knew that Song Quan was beaten up because he harassed her. They only knew that Rong An beat him up for nearly half an hour, leaving him with a bloody face, lying on the floor barely breathing, and broke his arm before leaving. The photos and videos were even posted on the school forum, so when thedies heard that this bodyguard was the protagonist of the beating that day, they all looked pale. Li Feifei spoke up weakly, Weiyi, can you have your bodyguard wait outside or in the car? Why are you so nosy? Mo Weiyi clicked her tongue, naturally defending her bodyguard, Whats wrong with him standing outside, he hasnte in to scare you. Besides, hes not the type to randomly beat people. That day, it was because that hooligan tried to molest me, I asked him to teach the guv a lesson. But there will be ssmates going in and outter, they will see him. A lot of girls are timid. As Li Feifei spoke, she lowered her head as if she was indignantly resigned. Mo Weiyi stood up impatiently, Fine, Ill go talk to him. She left the room, returned quickly and sat back on the sofa, Ive told him to wait in the car, you dont need to be afraid now. Thank you, Weiyi. Li Feifei smiled. A glint shed in her eyes. Mo Weiyi, arent you the proud princess? If you were defiled by that hooligan tonight and your purity tarnished, I wonder how you will hold your head high at school? I expect the whole ss will see your disgrace! Wont the Mo family feel ashamed too? ** Soon enough, more students arrived in session, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively. Mo Weiyi fully yed the part of a tycoon, ordering a full table of food. There were also plenty of drinks avable. The students were all having fun. Even some male students dared to invite Mo Weiyi to sing a romantic song. Mo Weiyi straightforwardly refused, I cant sing. The passionate male student handed over the microphone, Its simple, do you know how to sing Youre the Song in My Heart? Mo Weiyi shook her head, No. The male student scratched his head, Then, do you know how to sing Only Feel For You? Mo Weiyi continued shaking her head, I dont. The male student was stunned, What can you sing then? You choose. Mo Weiyi chuckled, I told you I cant sing, you guys go ahead. She was born without any musical cells, especially singing off-key and easily going off tune. The only talent she could show off was dance. So how could she risk making a fool of herself in public? Seeing that the male student still hadnt given up, she stood up directly, Im going to the restroom. Seeing this, Li Feifei quickly took out her phone and sent a message, then quickly stood up and followed. Chapter 291 - 291, being followed? 291, being followed? Trantor: 549690339 | Weiyi. In the corridor, Mo Weiyi stopped in his tracks. Li Feifei caught up and asked, Weiyi, have you found your internship cement for next semester? Mo Weiyi answered, Im going to the Mo Familyspany. Makes sense. Li Feifei chuckled awkwardly, Your family has apany, you really dont have to worry about an internship. Silly me for asking. Mo Weiyi smiled, not saying anything. Li Feifei rattled on, Im different, I dont even know if I can find a goodw firm; Ive heard its harder and harder to get into these ces, especially for interns; they have high standards. Really? Yeah, I went to Professor Wang before and asked him to help me find a cement. But those guys are only looking for people who fall within the top 10 of academic scores across all disciplines, otherwise they dont even bother. Oh, Mo Weiyi acknowledged. Ever since the incident with the earring, for the first time in a while, she noticed that Li Feifei appeared to be warming up to her again. The two arrived at the washroom, only to find a queue. Because it was Friday, many people from this building, and several nearby office buildings, decided to rx by doing karaoke over the weekend. And this womens washroom only had two stalls, so it was packed. Li Feifei looked around and suggested, Why dont we go downstairs? The washrooms there have more stalls. Waiting here will take forever. Mo Weiyi agreed and nodded, Sure. The two of them made their way down the corridor, and straight down the stairs. The floor below was all rental offices, at this time mostpanies had knocked off for the day. Even though all the lights were on, there were barely any people in sight. Mo Weiyi felt a bit scared subconsciously. But noticing her ssmate was there, she clenched her mobile and entered the female washroom with Li Feifei. As anticipated, there were many stalls inside, lining both sides. Mo Weiyi entered one of them. Just as she sat down, she heard Li Feifeis phone ring all of a sudden. Weiyi, Im going out to answer a call, Ill be right back. Okay. The sound of the door opening and closing again echoed from the outside. Mo Weiyi quickly finished her business. She stood up, fixing herself up, and heard the entrance door open again. Mo Weiyi thought it was Li Feifei. However, just as she put her hand on the door handle preparing to leave, an eerieughter suddenly resonated. It was a mansughter! And he was chuckling in a low, hoarse voice, brimming with a sense of excitement and lewdness that he tried to suppress but couldnt quite manage. The washroom was incredibly quiet. The suddenughter truly shook Mo Weiyi to the core. Initially, she thought a man identally entered the womens washroom. She was about to speak up and inform him, but he started talking. Miss Mo, its me. Mo Weiyis fingers clenched tightly. He knows her? This voice kind of sounds familiar Before she could ponder further, Miss Mo, your boyfriend beat me up pretty badlyst time, huh? But he isnt here today, right? Cante to your rescue, huh? So here I am, visiting you. Mo Weiyi immediately recognized him. It was the perverted, lewd man from in front of the school that day. But what was he doing here? Could he have been following her? Mo Weiyi immediately picked up her phone, intending to call Rong An. She was alone in the washroom with this man. Fearing he would hear her, she stayed silent. She set her phone to silent mode and dialed Rong Ans number, holding her breath, waiting for him to answer. Thankfully, in this washroom there were many stalls. As long as she kept quiet, the perverted man wouldnt know which one she was in. If she could just buy some time and wait for Rong An to arrive, she would be safe. But surprisingly, Rong An, who always answered his phone instantly, was not picking up today. Mo Weiyi was getting desperate. At that moment, Song Quan outside started talking again. Baby,e out quickly. I knowyoure in here. Dont worry, Ill take very good care of you, and Im sure youd like it feel good, he said. What a pervert! Mo Weiyi was terrified to death and didnt dare make a sound. Why was she so unlucky to be followed by a pervert? If she had known, she would not have let Rong An leave. Wait, where was Li Feifei? Youre noting out? Then Ill just find you one by one. Ive been dreaming of you for months. When I make you hurtter, dont cry ok? Listening to him made Mo Weiyi queasy. But more than that, it was fear. Now there were sounds of stall doors being pulled open and roughly mmed shut. One after another. While inspecting the stalls, Song Quans lewd words kept filling the air. The collision sound of the doors in the eerie night was particrly terrifying. Especially adding the sexually suggestive words andughter of the man. His footsteps were getting closer to the door where Mo Weiyi was hiding. Mo Weiyi immediately dialed again. She believed that, as soon as the call went through, Rong An, being a professional bodyguard, would arrive before any harm coulde to her. But. Still no answer. Mo Weiyipletely lost hope. Another door was mmed open, then Song Quan burst outughing and said, Baby, youve made me work hard to find you! But theres only this row now, which one is it? Mo Weiyi was scared to tears. She had never been so terrified, it was like waiting for her execution. Enduring this terrifying predicament was unbearable. With no response from the closest source of help, Rong An, she held onto herst hope and shakingly selected Dear Xiaobai from her call log. Chapter 292 - 292, Little Princess in Trouble: Xiaobai, Save Me 292, Little Princess in Trouble: Xiaobai, Save Me Trantor: 549690339 | The phone rang twice before being answered. Simultaneously, another loud ng resonated from outside. Weiyi. Xiao Yebais deep and clear voice came through the receiver. But Mo Weiyi didnt dare to speak. Weiyi? Xiao Yebai asked again. Mo Weiyis body was shaking intensely, almost uncontrobly. She stared at the white door in front of her, which was then forcefully pulled from outside. A ng echoed. Song Quan immediately let out a burst of menacingughter. So, youre here, Miss Mo. Do you thinkl wont find you if you hide and keep quiet? Mo Weiyi didnt dare to speak until a mans hand suddenly reached under the divided door! Ah. Xiaobai, save me ** At Mo Group Headquarters. In the solemn and quiet conference room. Zhong Kai was sitting nearby, recording minutes on hisputer. The attendees included Mo Group executives and key departmental heads. Everyone was called to a meeting right before the end of the workday on a weekend. It was already 7 pm, everyone was starving but not daring to voice anyints. The head of the nning department was presenting rigorously, while Xiao Yebai was sitting below, listening expressionlessly. Then, a ringtone of a mobile phone went off. It was Xiao Yebais personal phone. In the past, Xiao never brought his personal phone to meetings as it might distract him from work. But recently, he seemed to always have his personal phone nearby. Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, nced at it, and answered. Weiyi. Everyone instantly realized it was a call from the Little Princess. There was no response from the other end of the phone. Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly and called again, Weiyi? Then he heard a mans voice in the background, but he couldnt make out what he was saying. While he was frowning, a sudden hit soundedfollowed by an hysterical scream and Mo Weiyis trembling voice crying out, Ah Xiaobai, save me Before he could say anything, the call was disconnected. People in the meeting room saw Xiao Yebais expressionless face turn gloomy and icy in an instant. He redialed right away, but got an automated message,Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. Almost without hesitation, he dialed Rong Ans number. Again, no answer. The knuckles of his hand sping the phone turned white from pressure. In just a few seconds, Xiao Yebai analyzed all the possibilities. Mo Weiyi had just called but didnt say anything. He vaguely heard a mans voice on her side of the call. Then the call was cut off after she screamed. Mo Weiyi was not the type to joke around, it was quite obvious that something was wrong. President Xiao Before Zhong Kai could finish, the man had already stood up. Without saying a word, he left the room. The others looked at each other in astonishment. ** The ck Bentley, like a released arrow, sped out of the parking lot. In the car, Xiao Yebai dialed another number. The call was quickly answered, a mans arrogant voice came through, Bro, I just got home. What dirty work do you have for me Five minutes ago, Weiyi called me. Check where the call was made and let me know in a minute. Damn, how could you say so much all at once? But what? Check the location of the call? Bro, Im a police officer, not a secret agent, how am I supposed to do that without my equipment at home If you cant figure it out, dont see me ever again. Xiao Yebais voice was calm and deep, but carried an ominous threat. After hanging up, the ck Bentley raced towards Nancheng University. Xiao Yebais face was tight, his thin lips were a straight line, and his sses were even more sharp and cold under the car lights. Within a minute, his phone rang again. Found it. Its Ziguang Building at the intersection of Sun Road and Jircy Road, but I dont know which floor. What facilities does the building have? Well, the building is all offices but theres a KTV on the top floor. Is your wife going singing Xiao Yebai hung up the phone without saying a word. Damn! A heartless guy with a pretty face! On the other end of the phone, a certain man was cursing. ** Once Rong An returned to his car, he noticed several missed calls from Mo Weiyi. Years of professional experience immediately put him on high alert, especially remembering the man who had inexplicably asked him to move his car When he tried to call back, he got the automated message, Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. He quickly got out of the car, took the elevator to the KTV, kicked open the room door and burst in. All the students were taken aback. Seeing the murderous expression on Rong Ans face, some of the girls screamed in fright. Rong An swiftly scanned the room, stepped in, and grabbed one of the girls, Wheres the princess? Li Feifei felt as if her arm was being mped by a pair of iron tongs; her face turned pale with pain instantly. She stammered out, She she went to the bathroom. Rong An dragged her out of the room. Li Feifei was both in pain and scared, struggling to break free. However, Rong An didnt care about her resistance and dragged her out of the room like a sack of potatoes. Chapter 293 - 293, Xiaobai who seems like a fairy and close to a demon 293, Xiaobai who seems like a fairy and close to a demon Trantor: 549690339 On the way to the washroom, many people nced in their direction. Li Feifei deliberately dyed, ranting loudly, What are you doing? Shes only gone to the washroom. Are you mad? Youre hurting me, let go, let me go right now Ow, it hurts Rong An didnt respond, his face cold as he quickly dragged her to the womens washroom. There were women queuing up at the entrance. However, Mo Weiyi was not in sight. Where is she? Rong An demanded, tightening his grip. Li Feifeis eyes welled up with tears, but she managed to sound innocent, Cant you just call her? What do you want from me? How would I know? Rong An, his face still cold, was about to speak when his mobile phone rang. He answered the call. Li Feifei didnt know what was said on the other end, but she saw Rong Ans already gloomy face be even more terrifying. After he hung up, Li Feifei quickly acted the part of a victim, She said she needed to use the washroom. I wondered why she hadnt returned. Perhaps something has happened? I honestly dont know. Rong An ignored her. There are so many people here, Li Feifei said, blinking, Why dont you call her? Just then, a womans voice nearby broke the tension, Looks like its started to rain outside. Really? How did it suddenly start raining? I saw the bad weather on my way out, so I smartly brought an umbre. Rong An thought of the umbre in his car, his forehead furrowing and darkness filling his eyes. He dragged Li Feifei outside. He was rough, uncivilized, his stepsrge and fast. Li Feifei was both scared and in pain, having no idea what this madman was up to. Seeing some people looking their way, she started screaming frantically, Someone help me! Hes a pervert! The KTV had security. If she could cause a scene, slowing things down, surely everything would be over downstairs by now. As expected, with her cries, a security guard approached. Not just one, a whole group of them! All dressed uniformly in ck, batons in hand. They were like dark clouds looming, an intimidation of force Help me, this mans insane! Li Feifei cried excitedly. A group of security guards quickly blocked the hallway. Then the group parted, and a man stepped forward. He wore a perfectly tailored ck suit. With his tall stature and serious steps, he seemed as if he had just rushed over from some important event. His handsome profile was expressionless, but his thin-framed sses gave him an air of refinement. As he passed under a light, his sses shed. It was Xiao Yebai. The husband of Mo Weiyi. This was the first time that Li Feifei had seen this man, who she had only previously seen in newspapers and magazines, in person. His appearance was stunning, so elegant that he could have just stepped off a movie screen, enough to make any woman fall for him. But as he approached her, the nearly six-foot-tall mans cold, indifferent gaze caused Li Feifeis heart to shrink. Mr. Xiao. Rong An stepped forward to greet him. His thin lips opened, Where is she? His voice was low, fraught with ominous undertones and danger, as if it hade from hell. I I dont know Li Feifei was so scared that her lips were white as paper, and her entire body wouldnt stop shaking. Xiao Yebai took a step forward. Through his thin sses, he stared at her with his beautiful, dark eyes. Beautiful, dark eyes. But they were also icy, and cold. Like two pieces of ice, void of any warmth or emotion. Li Feifei licked her lips nervously, just about to speak, when suddenly, Xiao Yebai reached out and mped his hand on her throat. Her pale face turned beet red. Where is she? He demanded once more. I dont After two words, the hand on her throat suddenly squeezed harder. Li Feifei immediately felt a burning pain in her throat. She struggled to catch her breath, her mouth open wide in a desperate attempt to breathe as the pressure on her throat increased. The handsome face in her vision grew increasingly blurred. As she wildly contracted her pupils, she felt as if her throat was going to burst from the pain. Where is she? He asked again. Although his handsome face still betrayed no emotion, he seemed to have be apletely different person. His eyes were extremely cold, his countenance sinister, and his entire being exuded an aura of aggression. Mixed with the chill and dampness that hade in with the rain, he seemed to have plunged deep into icy darkness. Like a demon, almost satanic. With her mouth wide open, enduring the excruciating pain in her throat, Li Feifei managed to utter with great difficulty, Down stairs washroom Before she could finish, the pressure on her throat was suddenly lifted. Li Feifei fell to the ground, clutching her chest, greedily gulping down fresh air. It was terrifying! In her twenty years of life, this was the first time she hade so close to death! Just a moment ago, she had truly thought this man was going to strangle her to death! The next second. Miss, a security guard appeared in front of her. A customerined that she found the ring she lost in your bag. Chapter 294 - 2%, the person in my mind is a world-class hero 2%, the person in my mind is a world-ss hero Trantor: 549690339 , The next second. Miss. A security guard suddenly came in front of her, We received aint from a customer, and we found her lost wedding ring in your bag just now. Wha What wedding ring? Li Feifei was terrified to hear this. She had just escaped from the Ghost Gate, and why was she now on the guillotine block? You are suspected of stealing a diamond wedding ring worth a million, which has constituted theft. Please apany us now to ept investigation. Without waiting for Li Feifei to exin, several security guards came up and took her away without saying anything. * * * At that time, in the womens washroom downstairs. The door of the booth had been kicked open, and Mo Weiyi was dragged out directly by the man. She stumbled under her feet and was pushed against the wall next to her, and her tears nearly came out from the pain. The princess who has been spoiled since childhood, always cared for with attentive concern and gentle care, when has she ever been treated so rudely by someone? But what is more terrifying followed. The man actually reached out to tear her clothes. Mo Weiyi struggled hard and kept shouting for help. But in vain, she nearly lost her voice, but she couldnt hear Li Feifeis voice at all. Bea good girl, dont shout anymore, even if you hurt your throat, no one wille. The door has been locked by me. You will just have to y with me here tonight. Song Quan still had gauze on his nose, and although the other ces on his face had healed, he still had faint scars. He was grinning, maniacal, crazy, and scary as he spoke. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I swear, I will make you spend your whole life in prison! You will never get out! Mo Weiyi tried to threaten him. Prison? Hahahaha. Song Quanughed arrogantly, and then, he took out his phone, turned on the video and started filming Mo Weiyis frightened little face. I will film all the videos of me and you, and soon you will be begging me. Do you think people would assume its my fault when they see this video? Will I go to prison? Hahaha, you are too naive So far, this trick hasnt failed him. No woman wouldnt be afraid to have her private video exposed. After all, this involves a womans privacy. Especially thedy from a wealthy family, reputation and face were more important than anything. That is also why Song Quan has been safe for so long. You dare! Mo Weiyi opened her eyes wide, There is no one in Nancheng who dares to treat me like this, do you know who I am? Who you are? Hahaha, youre my little darling. Song Quan interrupted her directly, eagerly cing his phone on the table next to him, turning on the camera, saying almost manically, Dont rush, I want to select a good angle first so the video would look good. And also to be able to capture everything. After cing his phone well and pressing the record button, he didnt want to waste any more time and directly grabbed Mo Weiyis arm. Mo Weiyi felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit, so she quickly turned her face away. But her chin was immediately gripped by the man and turned back. Mo Weiyi immediately bowed her head and bit down on that hand. Using all her strength, she was tenacious in holding onto that section of the bone in his hand, enduring the unpleasant sweat smell, until her mouth was filled with a strong, fishy, taste of blood. Song Quan did not expect such a delicate, spoiled woman would actually turn out to be a wildcat capable of fighting back? He didnt notice for a moment and was bitten so hard that he couldnt withdraw his hand, and could only swing his arm vigorously. Mo Weiyis slender body was thrown to the ground by him. The pain from her palm scraping against the floor flooded in, but before she could react, Song Quan had taken one step towards her, then raised his hand and pped her face. Mo Weiyis sleek, fair face was pped off to the side, arge patch on her cheek quickly turned red, and then quickly swelled up. Stinking bitch, I wanted to treat you gently but you wouldnt appreciate it, now dont me me for being rough! You like biting me, right? Fine,e on, I love it most when you bite me! Realizing what he was about to do, Mo Weiyi was immediately nervous and flustered, suddenly, she shouted, How much money do you want? Name a price and I will give you! Sure enough, Song Quan stopped. This audacious man didnt know about the Mo family of Nancheng. She had been shouting for help for so long, and there was simply no one on this floor. Because she resisted, her cell phone had already been smashed to pieces by him. Rong An hasnte all this time; she must not know that shes in trouble here. As for Xiaobai, the distance was too great, he couldnt possibly make it on time She, a woman, how could she possibly battle against the strength of a grown man? Enduring the fear in her heart, Mo Weiyi forced herself to continue trying to buy some time, Please, let me go. How much money do you want? Give me a number, no matter how much, I promise to give you all of it! Money? Hahaha Song Quan burst into a crazyughter, So now you finally know fear? Although I like money, what I want is to conquer you. Looking at your soft and tender skin, I cant help but love it His big hand, exuding the smell of sweat and gasoline, assaulted Mo Weiyis face without restraint. Because she was partying in the KTV box, Mo Weiyi had taken off her jacket and was now only wearing a thin dress. At this moment, the fabric of her dress was ripped open, and the buttons were flung about. Song Quan, wide-eyed and bloodshot, stood up. The terrified Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, just as the man was about to unbuckle his pants With a bang, the bathroom door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Mo Weiyi didnt even see who it was but subconsciously, she immediately cried out, Xiaobai, save me Her voice was hoarse from crying, apanied by obvious trembling. After that cry, all the previous fear and panic rushed to her all at once. Especially when she saw the familiar figure appearing before her, Mo Weiyis tears flowed like a torrent. Before Song Quan could turn around and clearly see who had entered, a baton suddenly came down on his head. He was instantly seeing stars, and blood instantly flowed down from the top of his head. Excruciating pain. It felt as if his skull had been split open. He held his head, copsed backwards,nding on the ground weakened and gasping for breath. With a ng, the baton was thrown on the floor. Xiao Yebai just stood there against the light, dressed all in ck, looking stern and aloof. Xiaobai! Mo Weiyi scrambled up from the floor and rushed awkwardly towards him. She clung tightly to his waist, inhaling his familiar andforting smell, and finally burst into uncontroble sobs. [My beloved is a hero, one day, he wille for me in golden saint armor, traveling on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.] She just knew that, Xiaobai woulde to save her. Xiao Yebai looked down at the little woman in his arms. Her originally neat and soft curls were now in disarray, the fabric of her dress was torn, and several buttons were missing. He took off his suit jacket and wrapped it tightly around her, his long, slender fingers holding her chin, lifting it to carefully inspect her delicate, fair face. Tears streaked her face, sliding down like broken strings of pearls, her face clearly bore the cruel mark of a p, and blood trace was visible on the corners of her mouth The little princess of the Mo family, who had been carefully nurtured from childhood, was now beaten up by a bastard? No one in the Mo family had ever pped her before. And when he walked in earlier and saw her clothes in disarray lying on the ground, that man was standing in front of her Xiaobai Mo Weiyi sniffled, whimpering, tears streamed down her face again. Her delicate and frail figure was dwarfed by the mansrge, ck suit jacket. Her eyshes were soaked, her eyes and nose were swollen from crying, she looked pitiable and disheveled. Xiao Yebai didnt speak, he turned around, kicked the copsed Song Quan lifting him back to his feet. The next second. With a bang, Song Quan was thrown against thepartment door behind him. The force was so great that the door was shattered directly, and Song Quan fell into the squatting toilet inside the bathroom, still attached to the door panel. Due to the pain, he opened his eyes and regained his senses. Xiao Yebai walked over and quietly stared down at him. Chapter 295 - 295) ruthless and seldom speaks 295) ruthless and seldom speaks Trantor: 549690339 Xiao Yebai walked over, silently looking down at him. Song Quan groaned in pain, still wanting to curse, Fuck you. Wait until I get you, bitch! Xiao Yebai bent over, grabbed his cor with one hand and punched him hard. Blood and flesh spewed from the bandages on Song Quans nose. He hissed and cursed, Who the fuck are you? Im gonna This man wore sses and was neatly dressed in a suit with a tie. With his reserved, schrly appearance, who would have thought that his blow would be fiercer than that of the previous man? After the blow that had justnded on his head, he was still feeling dizzy and couldnt see clearly. He had no energy to resist. Who am I? Xiao Yebais voice was t, as if he was casually talking about the weather. He said, You dont even know who I am and you dared touch her? Sweat was beading on Song Quans face, turning from pale to an unhealthy grey. He recalled Li Feifeis words and blurted out subconsciously, Its just a woman. If you want her, Ill let you have her. I wont touch her The man screamed in agony, uncontrobly and continuously. Mo Weiyi originally didnt want to see the gruesome scene, but hearing that scream, she subconsciously looked over and saw Xiao Yebais foot, stepping on the mans most vulnerable part. He applied weight to his foot, his voice light, From now on, even if you want to, you wont be able to touch any woman. His continuous force started to make Song Quans face turn white, then green, and finally purple. Xiao Yebai suddenly lifted his foot. Mo Weiyi thought he was going to let him go unscathed, but Ah! The leather shoe came crashing down once again. With every mandated blow by Xiao Yebai, the mans screams became louder and more pitiful, filling the restroom non-stop. Drenched in cold sweat, he looked as if hed just been fished out of the water. In the end, he couldnt bear the intense pain and passed out. Mo Weiyi was so frightened that her face had turned pale. Only when she saw Song Quan pass out did she limp over to Xiao Yebai, grab his arm, and stammer, Xiaobai, he he Xiao Yebai pulled back his foot, his tone indifferent but concise, He wont die. But is he Mo Weiyi seemed a bit scared. Could he have died from the beating? The screams were so terrifying, they sounded like a man being castrated in a royal harem drama. Knock, knock, knock. The door suddenly was knocked a few times, and then Rong An walked in. Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai opened his lips slightly, Who is this man? Rong An nced at the man who had fainted in the cubicle and gave a detailed report, A few weeks ago, he tried to sexually assault the princess outside the school gate. I broke his arm then. I didnt expect that he still wont give up. Didnt expect? Rong An lowered his head, My mistake. Mo Weiyi also immediately lowered her head, Xiaobai, my bad, I didnt let Rong An tell you. I thought he was just a small-time gangster and didnt expect him to be this crazy Xiao Yebais eyes were inexplicably obscured. After a moment, he said, Rong An, you keep watch here. Rong An naturally understood his meaning, Yes. Xiaobai Xiao Yebai looked down at the petite woman beside him, straightened her coat and then said, Lets go home. ** Back in the car, Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai and subconsciously tried to exin, Xiaobai, Im fine. He only pped me. He didnt touch me. Its a good thing he didnt. Xiao Yebais lips curled slightly, but his eyes showed no hint of a smile. If he had, I would have to kill him. Im really fine. Recalling her horrifying experience, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but hug the mans arm, raised her lovely face, and looked at him pitifully. I was so scared, Xiaobai. Fortunately, you came in time. I was so scared Xiao Yebai looked at the red swelling on her face and the torn cor of her clothes. He asked, Why didnt you let Rong An go with you? Mo Weiyi pouted, feeling wronged and innocent. Hes my ssmate. Who would know that hed turn out to be a stalker? Xiao Yebai looked at her for a long time. His deep, dark eyes were unfathomable and difficult to understand. Then, he raised a finger. At that moment, he had resumed his usual calm andposed demeanor. If she hadnt seen it with her own eyes, Mo Weiyi would not have believed that the fierce man who had personally beaten Song Quan severely for her just now could be him. Does it hurt? His voice was low, soft, and gentle, as if whispering sweet words. Mo Weiyi felt a sweet andforting warmth in her heart. She shook her head and obediently answered, It did hurt a bit at first, but when you came to my rescue, it didnt hurt anymore. Xiao Yebai remained silent, his hand gently stroking her face for quite a while. Mo Weiyi stared at him affectionately. To her surprise, Xiaobai had actually fought someone for her! Chapter 296 - 296, Boyfriend’s charm is off the charts 296, Boyfriends charm is off the charts Trantor: 549690339 | Mo Weiyi was also gazing at him stupidly. Xiaobai had actually fought someone for her just now! It was boyfriend power overload! This was the first time shed seen a fierce side of Xiaobai. Other than fear, she felt admiration, peace, and sweetness. No woman could resist a hero, especially when that hero was her man! This meant that in his heart, she was significant. He would not allow any other man to touch her. He had just disposed of that Song Quan- Just as Mo Weiyi was lost in thought. Youre not pretty anymore. Mo Weiyi was stunned. When she realized that it was Xiao Yebai who had said this, she pouted, feeling wronged. Xiaobai, you despise me. Xiao Yebai looked at her face. Her delicate little face was now swollen on one side. With her naturally fair skin, the red swelling was a shocking sight to behold. The little princess, who had been pampered since birth, was no match for the strength of a man. He had noticed that the scumbags hand had bite marks. If she hadnt resisted, she wouldnt have been pped, but if she hadnt resisted, he might not have made it in time Hmph. Mo Weiyis voice interrupted his thoughts. She lifted her little face and proudly dered, Even if Xiaobai despises me, it doesnt matter. Youre now my husband, and you cant be returned! Youre forever mine! Having said that, she started tough. It was supposed to be a sly, triumphantugh, but because half of her face was swollen, it instantlybecameuglier A twitch ran across Xiao Yebais eyes, but he didn t respond. He started the car, ready to turn back. Mo Weiyi remained silent as well. But soon, she cried out, Ah, my bag and my coat are still in the private room. OK. AndLi Feifei! Mo Weiyi seemed to recall suddenly, starting to badmouth her in irritation, That damn woman said she would apany me to the restroom but just took a call and left as soon as we entered! How outrageous! OK. One more thing! Mo Weiyi began to chatter again. I havent paid the bill for the private room yet. My ssmates are going to use me of dodging the bill intentionally! You have to call Rong An immediately to have him firstly pay for me, Ill transfer him back the moneyter, hurry This time, Xiao Yebai didnt respond with OK. He turned his head and nced at her coldly. She was beaten to this state and still worried about being suspected of evading the bill? The princesss logical mind was truly-beyond ordinaryprehension. Mo Weiyi looked at him, Whats wrong? Nothing. Xiao Yebai wasnt in the mood to borate. He took a turn in the car, but then there was a slight upward tug at the corner of his lips. Seeing that light curve on the corner of his lips, Mo Weiyi was suspicious but didnt know what he wasughing at, so she continued to prattle on, That Li Feifei is so annoying. I kindly invited my dorm mates to dinner, yet she isnt happy because she thinks Rong An is scary-looking. Xiaobai, do you think Rong An is very scary? I think its OK. He has eyes and a nose. Where does he look scary? Xiao Yebai: He didnt speak, but his phone rang. Xiao Yebai answered, Hello. Not knowing what the person on the other end had said, Xiao Yebai stayed silent with a serious face, with a straight line forming on his lips. Then he said, I understand. After hearing more words from the person on the other end of the call, Xiao Yebais gaze remained fixed front, his eyes slightly squinting under his sses as he calmly replied in a cold voice, Regardless of gender, get them all in. Mo Weiyi: Doesnt this sound like a line a cop would say during a vice crackdown on TV? Men stand on the left, women on the right, and those in between stand in the middle? After hanging up, Xiao Yebai quickly drove into Lishui Bay Vi. Upon entering the living room, Aunt Zhou was already waiting with a first aid kit. Xiao Yebai ordered, Help the princess tend to her injuries. Of course, Young Master Xiao. As Mo Weiyi sat there, with her suit jacket removed revealing a ripped dress underneath, and a red mark at her neckline left by the torn dress. in addition to her fluffy hair, swollen face, and the obvious signs of crying, Aunt Zhou was scared and her hands were shaking. Having worked for the Mo family for so long, she had practically watched the princess grow up. So when had she ever seen the princess be bullied like this? Xiao Yebai nced at her indifferently. Aunt Zhou hurriedly approached, and then she heard the mans low and deep voice saying, Dont tell the old residence about this for now. Understood, Young Master Xiao. After that, Mo Weiyi sat there, grimacing in pain as her injuries were tended to. But they werent that serious. A topical ointment was applied to her face, and the swelling would subside in two or three days. She had sprained her foot slightly, and after some cold therapy, it wouldnt cause much trouble. The most severe injuries were on both of her hands where shed scraped them when shed fallen. Now covered in gauze, shed be a semi C invalid. Mo Weiyi looked at her own bandaged hands with a frown, Sigh, I cant go to school again. Going to school? Xiao Yebai looked at her and sneered sarcastically, Isnt not going to school what you desired? He knew very well how much his wife disliked studying. Mo Weiyi felt embarrassed: Then, she finally found her voice with a blush, Recently, I have been obeying my fathers words and diligently attending school every day. Otherwise, do you think tonights incident could have happened? Chapter 297 - 297, Does Not Understand Romance 297, Does Not Understand Romance Trantor: 549690339 Is that so? Xiao Yebais tone was indifferent. Mo Weiyi nodded, My father told me to study hard, get my diploma, so I could help you in thepany in the future. He even showed me the files from the Mo Familys recent years, but I couldnt understand them. What files? Xiao Yebais tone remained indifferent. They are le Mo Weiyi was in the middle of his sentence, and suddenly his face changed, Ive messed up, I left the USB sh drive with the files in my backpack, in thepartment. My father said those files were important and couldnt be seen by others. What should I do Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yebai had picked up his mobile phone and quickly dialed a number, Rong An. As he listened to Xiao Yebai instructing Rong An to retrieve the backpack from thepartment, Mo Weiyi hastily added, Tell him to settle the bill for thepartment. Xiao Yebai: * * At nine oclock in the evening, a loud thunder suddenly boomed outside the window. Soon, thunder and lightning roared in the night sky. A gentle drizzle that was originally perceivable, suddenly turned into a heavy downpour. The world seemed to be instantly shrouded by the rainstorm, deste, dark, andpletely unclear. Rong An returned Mo Weiyis jacket and bag to the car. Turning around, he nced at the dark rain curtain. His fists, hanging at his sides, suddenly clenched tightly. Under the cover of rain fog, he returned to the womens bathroom in the building. So, when Song Quan woke from intense pain, he saw the same man fromst time standing in front of him. He was dressed in a simple ck suit and trousers, holding the nightstick that Xiao Yebai had thrown on the ground before. With thunder and lightning outside, a sudden white light swept across the dim bathroom, his face bearing a cruel and ferocious expression, was terrifyingly ghostly. Song Quans entire body ached, his shoulder had been hit by the nightstick again. He shrank back, his face full of extreme fear. He hadnt forgotten. Last time, this man had beaten his face askew, almost killing him! Do you know who the woman you tried to assault just now was? The low and unruffled voice of Rong An began. Hearing this, Song Quan felt as if the voice of the Hell King spoke. He dared not speak. He was only cursing insults at the woman earlier, when that pretty boy had kicked him in a ce hed rather not mention. Beautiful women really attract a lot of flies. These two seemed to risk their lives for a woman. Standing there, holding the nightstick, Rong An continued in a condescending tone, Her name is Mo Weiyi, she is the little princess of the Nancheng Mo Family. The Nancheng Mo Family, have you never heard of it? Song Quans eyes widened in horror. Nancheng Mo Family? Isnt that one of the top families Before he could figure it out, Rong An raised his hand, and with a swing, mmed the club down. Ah! Song Quan cried out in pain. Then another club swing, and then another. Rong An repeated the mechanical motions, continuously striking him. Song Quan rolled on the ground, screaming in pain, his bleeding steadily turning the bathroom floor red. asionally a sh of lightning outside would illuminate the face of the man wielding the nightstick. His eyes were bloodthirsty, his jaw clenched, the ferocity and cruelty revealed in his expression seemed like they could ignite two fires and burn the man writhing on the ground to ashes. After a seemingly endless time, Song Quan finallyy on the ground, barely breathing, his body and the surrounding area covered in blood. Rong An finally stopped his assault. He took a slight breath and dropped the iron club with a ng. The entire bathroom was filled with a chilling, bloody atmosphere. While outside, the storm raged on. * * Mo Familys vi. Contrary to the storm raging outside, the upstairs bedroom was bright as day, warm and tranquil. The bathroom had steam lingering around and was filled with a pleasant fragrance. Mo Weiyiy in the bathtub, only her face and two bandaged hands showing. Listening to the thunder outside, she cooed, Xiaobai, Xiaobai. Footsteps followed, and a man in casual clothes walked in. Mo Weiyi raised her arm a bit, Im done soaking. Xiao Yebai walked over, hit the drain switch, took the showerhead from the side, checked the temperature, and then began rinsing her. After that, he took a towel from the side, and began towel drying her. He wasnt wearing his sses, his eyes gentle and clean, with no change in his expression. He wiped her down from head to toe, calm and collected. Instead, it was Mo Weiyi who was a bit embarrassed. Lastly, Xiao Yebai pulled over a white bath towel, wrapped her in it, and then picked her up. Looking at the handsome and refined man, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but ask, Xiaobai, if I get old, cant move my arms and legs, and cant walk, would you still take care of me like this? Xiao Yebai looked at her indifferently, Im older than you. Uh Mo Weiyi couldnt help butment in her heart, Xiaobai really didnt understand romance. In this situation, shouldnt he say yes without blinking? But, it was thisck of understanding of romance, this inability to say nice things just to please her, that made her love Xiaobai. Lifting her head, Mo Weiyi sweetly said, Then, Ill take care of you when the timees. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his brow slightly raised, then. Hmm. Mo Weiyi, again was like, Hes really so cold! She couldnt help but tease him in her heart. Chapter 298: 298, don’t be afraid, I’m here Chapter 298: dont be afraid, Im here
Trantor: 549690339 The next day, Nancheng was sunny and bright with the dawn of warm sunshine. The golden sunlight nketed the earth, as if the storm of the night before had never happened.
In the morning, not long after breakfast, Aunt Zhou hurried in to report, Mr. Xiao, the police are here. Xiao Yebai ordered in a soft voice, Let them in. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi stared at him, visibly nervous. Considering how Xiaobai had beaten Song Quanst night, he wouldnt be in trouble, would he? Xiao Yebai instructed, When the police question youter, your only response should be yes. Remember that. Huh? Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Did you remember? Xiao Yebai repeated. I remember. Mo Weiyi could only nod in agreement. Soon, Aunt Zhou led a few police officers in. The leading officer looked like he was in his forties; a few subordinates nked him, all of them dressed in serious police uniforms. Except for one man who was dressed in in clothes.
And he was quite handsome. The word handsome was used to describe him mainly because among the stern-faced police squad, he was noticeably standout. In his twenties, young and somewhat naive, a certain casual demeanor showed through his handsome features, with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. But it wasnt even lit. Seeing Mo Weiyi, he hooked the corners of his lips upwards in a slight smirk, then turned his gaze towards Xiao Yebai. His eyes were teasing and satisfied. Xiao Yebai casually avoided his gaze. The man: What the hell! Look at this young mans aloof and indifferent manner, still pretending not to know him? What a perfect act, without a trace of pretense.
* * Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao. In the study, the leading officer was very polite. Perhaps knowing that the couples status was not ordinary, even the questioning was conducted in a gentle tone. Mrs. Xiao, do you recognize this man? Mo Weiyi looked at the photo handed to her, her face full of fear as she quickly turned to embrace Xiao Yebai. The photo was drenched in blood. Song Quan was lying on the ground, his face a mass of bloody flesh, his features unrecognizable, his hair matted and dyed with fresh blood, and the ground around him was bloody as well. Xiao Yebai nced at it briefly, then lifted his hand to stroke Mo Weiyis hair gently, his tone soothing, Im sorry, my wife is abit timid. The officer nodded in understanding, This man, named Song Quan, was assaultedst night in the womens restroom on the tenth floor of Ziguang Building, at the intersection of Jircy Road and Sun Road. His lower body was ruptured, multiple fractures all over his body, and severe brain injuries. He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctors initial diagnosis states that his brain is severely affected and he might be a vegetable, never to wake up again
With each statement, Mo Weiyi trembled. She remembered that when she leftst night, although Song Quan did have blood on him, it wasnt as horrifyingly serious Mrs. Xiao. The officer asked again, Do you know this man? Mo Weiyi buried her face in Xiao Yebais chest, remaining motionless. The officer: Xiao Yebai looked down at her and said softly, Dont be scared, Im here. She held tightly onto his clothes with her slender white fingers. Then, Mo Weiyi finally turned her head. As soon as she saw the second photo, her face paled even more. Hastily, she said, His name is Rong An, he is my bodyguard. The man in the photo was Rong An, but he was wearing a yellow vest confiscated by the police, his eyes focused forward and face expressionless. Why did you arrest him? This gentleman turned himself in. He imed that Song Quan attempted to assault Mrs. Xiao, so he attacked Song Quan with a baton. We have done the tests. The fingerprints on the baton indeed belong to Mr. Rong. Mo Weiyi opened her beautiful cat-like eyes wide, not quiteprehending for a long while. Rong An turned himself in? Why? May I ask Mrs. Xiao. The officers voice echoed once more, Did Song Quan attempt to sexually harass youst night? Remembering Xiao Yebais instructions, Mo Weiyi could only answer, Yes. The officer and the handsome young man exchanged nces. Then he collected the photos, stood up and said, Alright, we have verified everything. Sorry for the disturbance. Mo Weiyi watched as the group of police officers left. Then, she suddenly seemed toe to her senses, hurriedly asking, Xiaobai, is Rong An going to be jailed? He will be fine. Xiao Yebai calmly affirmed. Mo Weiyi was still uneasy. Feeling guilty, she said, Its all my fault. If I hadnt been targeted by that man that day, Rong An wouldnt have hit him for me. Can you quickly find someone to get him out? I dont want him to go to jail Alright. Xiao Yebai agreed. With his promise, Mo Weiyi was finally able to rest easy. Rong An had been with her for many years. It could be said that the three of them had grown up together from childhood. Although Rong An was just a bodyguard, she saw him more as a friend. Now that he was implicated because of her, she really did not want anything to happen to him. As expected, Rong An returned in the afternoon. Mo Weiyi examined him carefully and saw that he was unharmed. She only then truly felt at ease. * * Su Wanwan only learned about Mo Weiyis injury when she went to school on Monday. She initially thought this brat was reverting to her old rebellious ways. For someone who hated going to school and studying, getting her to attend school diligently was already a great feat. Just as expected, it hadnt even been a month, and she was back to truancy. But when she received the call, she found out about the ident. And then, she heard it was a pervert who followed her into the womens restroom, reaching his hand under the cubicle Damn, you must have been scared to death, right? I was so scared at that time, just like that horror movie The Grudge we watched together before! Remember? Hiding under the bed, and then seeing the childs feet running back and forth on the floor, ah It was so scary Su Wanwan: Just hearing it sent shivers down her spine. What more for the skittish Mo Weiyi? Chapter 299: 299, Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy Chapter 299: Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy
Trantor: 549690339 But, how did that pervert know you were alone in the bathroom? Su Wanwan suddenly asked. I dont know, maybe he was following me the whole time. Mo Weiyi also found it strange, but since the matter had already been resolved, and Song Quan had been severely punished, she didnt think about it much further.
Su Wanwan nodded, If I had known you were calling me to join youst night, I would have beat him until he lost all his teeth! Mo Weiyi giggled, Its okay. Xiaobai came to my rescue anyway. Do you know what I thought of when he burst in? What? Su Wanwan was sitting in the ssroom with earplugs in, and in front of her was a thick English Level Four Dictionary. I thought of the line from A Chinese Odyssey where Zixia Fairy said to Supreme Treasure. She said, My ideal man is a great hero. One day, he will wear the Golden Saint Armor, step on colorful auspicious clouds and marry me. I was so touched Do you know what she said afterwards? Su Wanwan abruptly interrupted. What? I guessed the beginning but failed to guess the ending, Su Wanwan said, In fact, A Chinese Odyssey is a tragedy. Mo Weiyi was stunned: Then. I dont care! Little Princess huffed, Anyhow, Supreme Treasure ended up with Zixia Fairy in the end! Thats not even them, they just lookalike, Su Wanwan retorted.
Yes, it is, it is them! Su Wanwan was speechless, Enough, I have a ss now, I cant chat with you anymore. Another ss? Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Didnt you used to be like me, not fond of studying? Howe youve been so serious about it since you returned to China? What happened to you? Su Wanwan simply rolled her eyes, Do not lump me in with a study liability like you. Study liability Mo Weiyi: Wailing, what a bully! After hanging up the phone, the bell for ss rang. Li Mochou came in to start the ss. With the English Level Examinationing up in December, Su Wanwan had only recently returned home from studying at a university in Los Angeles, and needed to start from level four to get a diploma. So, recently, except for attending sses, she spent all her spare time frantically cramming for the Level Four vocabry, using every minute and second to rote learn. As for why she was suddenly so diligent in her studies, Su Wanwan didnt want to tell anyone.
** After two sses, Su Wanwan left the ssroom. There was arge crowd of students gathered around the school bulletin board, the noise was deafening, as though some major incident had urred. As Su Wanwan was considering whether to go and see what the fuss was about, a girl suddenly ran over to her, You are Su Wanwan, right? Su Wanwan looked at her and recognized her as one of Mo Weiyis dorm mates. The girl said, Do you know whats going on with Li Feifei? What happened to her? The school just posted a punishment notice that says they received a notice from the police saying Li Feifei stole a million dors worth of valuables at Dynasty KTVst night and has been detained by the police. My gosh, stealing that much money warrants imprisonment! The school directly expelled her. Its so baffling. Do you think this has anything to do with Mo Weiyi? Su Wanwan paused. Mo Weiyi ran into trouble at the KTVst night, and now Li Feifei was caught stealing at the KTV and was expelled. What a coincidence, could it be? The girl then said, Last night, Mo Weiyi disappeared suddenly while she was singing, then her bodyguard came and took Li Feifei away. Could it be that Li Feifei was caught because she stole something from Mo Weiyi? Her boyfriends family was sent to jail by Mo Weiyist time, it seems those close to ink are liable to be ckened! They all seem to like stealing, what a pity, shes so beautiful and has good grades, she even secured an internship position for next semester. Now that this happened, her bright future is ruined.
Su Wanwan forced a smile, Stealing is wrong in the first ce. She got what she deserved. Whats there to pity? The girl: ** Li Feifei has always been a model student, and she was a high-achieving student in ourw department. We did not expect her to suddenly be an offender, stealing, and being expelled from our school. The whole campus knew and the campus forum was noisy for a while. But in thiswork society, even the biggest scandals quiet down within two or three days. By Thursday, the Universitys flower contest posts had dominated the forum. Each term, the South University forum would hold a beauty contest. Mostly boys participated in the voting. This was a long-established tradition at South University. But Su Wanwan didnt know she was nominated. Lately, she was absorbed in studying, she hadnt even been home. At five in the afternoon. Su Wanwan checked the time and was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner when she received a call from Huo Jingshen. Come out. What for? Sleep at home tonight, Im already outside your school. When she heard the word sleep, Su Wanwan coughed awkwardly, Im about to take the Level Four English test, I need to revise. Do you think its appropriate for a married woman not to sleep at home? Huo Jingshen argued. Su Wanwan, Come out at once! Huo Jingshen hung up the phone after saying this. Chapter 300: 300, Huo’s Conscience Chapter 300: Huos Conscience Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan silently counted in her heart. It seemed like almost a week had passed since shest went home. She even spent the whole weekend at school. Well, thats indeed a bit indescribable. Forget it. She silently tossed back the lunchbox, tidied up, then slung her handbag over her shoulder, and heaved up her English Level Four Dictionary, December 2017 English Four Level Actual Test, 36 Sets of English Four Level Cloze Test Enhancement So, when Huo Jingshen saw Su Wanwan hoisting such a heap of learning materials into the car, his handsome face instantly turned dark. Was she nning to cart so many study materials just to spend the night at home? Obviously, studying was another excuse for her! Before he could protest, suddenly, his mobile phone rang. Huo Jingshen drove off and answered the call. Brother, so, are we going to Guidi tonight? NangongCis insincere voice came on. Huo Jingshen, in a serious tone, replied, Not going. What happened again? Havent we been drinking together at night these couple of days? Im telling you, our second brother has arranged a program tonight. Supposedly, its a maidens first time, haha You bunch of single dogs can drink on your own. Huo Jingshen cut in, the ridicule clear in his tone. Holy crap. Nangong Ci was clearly upset, Brother, you cant keep doing this. When you quarrel with sister-inw, youe to us. And once you made up with her, you dont even recognize us. Plus, you insult us by calling us single dogs? Youre just using us as a stepping stone. Do you even have a conscience? Brother, you cant keep doing this Before he finished speaking, the call was abruptly disconnected. * * * Inside the Guidi Club. Nangong Ci, the first one to arrive at the private room, put down his phone, his handsome face contorting in disbelief. What happened? Chu Jingyi looked at him, her slender phoenix eyes filled with allure. It seems that sister-inw is returning home, so our big brother wont being over tonight. Ming Jing said, lifting his ss, Jingyi, lets drink first. Chu Jingyi smiled, lifting her wine ss to clink with his, How long have they been married? Ming Jing pondered, They got their certificate in August. Chu Jingyi took a sip of her red wine, Jingshen seems to have returned in May, right? Yes, Nangong Ci chimed in with a cunning grin, Thats why we say our big brother knows the ropes. He was love at first sight with sister-inw. He was swift and urate, getting her hooked in just a few days. Love at first sight, huh? Hehe. A faint sneer shed in Chu Jingyis eyes. * * * Su Wanwan had thought that theyd directly return home. Who wouldve thought that Huo Jingshen would drive her to arge supermarket nearby? After getting out of the car, hand in hand, they walked to the entrance just like an ordinary young couple. Huo Jingshen stretched out his long arm to bring a shopping cart over. He then looked at Su Wanwan, Do you want to sit? What? Su Wanwan was taken aback for a moment. Not until Huo Jingshen gestured did she nce sideways. There was a young couple with their chubby child shopping in the supermarket. The young dad ced the child in the trolley, and the little one, with his newly grown teeth, gaped in delight, waving his arms and legs around. Su Wanwan: Holy crap! Darling, dont you want to sit? Huo Jingshen kept on asking, So you wouldnt get lost in there, and your hubby wouldnt have to search for you. Su Wanwan gave him an intense re and gritted her teeth, Im not a kid! After saying that, she strode into the supermarket. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, and followed her with the cart. Upon entering the crowded supermarket, Huo Jingshen immediately said, Stick close and dont get lost. Su Wanwan again: Had enough of this already! What would you like for dinner? Huo Jingshen asked again. As if she were truly a child. Su Wanwan replied, I want to eat braised pork. Alright. What else? Huo Jingshen looked at his wife, the underlying meanings in his deep voice, Darling, youve been studying hard recently. Tonight, I want to reward you properly. Su Wanwans eyes gleamed. After blinking twice, she immediately recited several more dishes. All of which were Huo Jingshens specialties. After all, her husbands cooking skills were simply unparalleled. After staying at school for so long, what she missed most was his cooking! Huo Jingshen nodded and began to gather ingredients from the shelves. The cart was quickly filled up, and the two of them rode the esctor to the second floor. Su Wanwan still followed him like a shadow, until she saw him perusing the health and beauty section, seriously selecting contraceptives Her eyes widened, her face blushed and Su Wanwan turned to run. Damn it! Couldnt they buy these intimate items online? Then again, an old-fashioned man probably doesnt shop online. She had to run, so no one would realize she was his wife However, unfortunately, Su Wanwan ran too fast and ran into a shopping cart, knocking things onto the floor. She quickly went to steady the cart, ignoring the pain in her leg, apologizing, Im sorry. Its alright. The woman pushing the cart was in her twenties with long hair, fair skin, and a calm demeanor. It was my fault for not looking, youre not hurt, are you? The womans soft voice reminded Su Wanwan of Fu Ziyangs stepmother, Xiu Xin. She quickly said, No, no, it was my fault for not watching where I was going. After finishing her apology, she bent over to pick up the items, only to find Embarrassing! The items she knocked over were the same type of contraceptives that Huo Jingshen had just bought. This Su Wanwan was torn. Should she pick it up? Or should she not? At this moment, a fair hand extended and picked up the fallen items before gracefully cing them into the cart. All while maintaining a gentle smile. Su Wanwans face turned even redder. The woman was so open about it, making her seem prudish inparison. Just then, a vaguely familiar male voice came from behind her, Are you done? Done. The woman pushing the cart turned around. Su Wanwan subconsciously looked over and she saw the man standing at the end of the aisle It was Di Chenghe. The guest lecturer. Di Chenghe saw her too. Despite the two not being very close, he greeted her with a nod and even approached her, What a coincidence, isnt it? Su Wanwan could only greet back, Hello, teacher. Chenghe, so this girl is your student. The womanplimented immediately, The female students nowadays are so pretty. Lets go once youve finished selecting. Di Chenghe concluded, and said to Su Wanwan, Its gettingte. Be careful when youre out alone. Su Wanwan felt a bit awkward. She returned a smile at each of them, waved a small farewell and said, Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye. Watching the well-matched pair disappearing into the distance, Su Wanwan couldnt help but feel inspired. Truly outstanding people always find each other. So she must work hard too. She needs to study diligently and strive to be a better person. In the future, she must rely on her abilities to earn a lot of money, rather than relying on her husband like now Everyone has already left, yet you are still giggling like a fool. A gloomy, deep voice suddenly rang by her ear. Su Wanwan jumped in fright. Turning around, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were ring at him, Youre the only fool here, and so is your whole family! However, Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, looking off to the distance, he resembled a husband catching his cheating wife, and even his tone was full of questioning, Whos that man? My teacher. Teacher? Huo Jingshen snorted scornfully, Such a disrespectful teacher. Su Wanwan was puzzled, What do you mean by that? Huo Jingshens handsome face was serious as he categorically stated, Is it appropriate for him to buy such items in front of a female student? Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, And how is it appropriate for you to buy them in front of me? And you have the nerve to criticize others? Well, Im your husband, theres a difference right? Huo Jingshen spoke very confidently, On top of that, you would also need these items. What do you mean by me you you jerk! Su Wanwans face turned red, stuttering and unable to speak properly. It was clearly for his use! What a shameless man! Isnt that so? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Didnt you tell me before you like strawberry vored ones? Shut up! Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing his mind. Why was she discussing condom vors with him in a supermarket? Huo Jingshen held her hand directly, pulling the flustered girl towards the counter, Lets go pay. Chapter 301: 301, morning mood Chapter 301: morning mood Trantor: 549690339 Back at home, the whole living room was quiet. Wheres Ziyang? Hes been sent to the big yard. Huo Jingshen calmly replied. Su Wanwan frowned. Were Mr. and Mrs. Huo too fond of children? They seemed to be very fond of Fu Ziyang. Ever since thest meeting, they would asionally take the child to live in the big yard. Not to mention that they always sent various packages; if it wasnt toys, it was food, drink, and other items like clothing, shoes, and study materials. Right now, on the cab in the hallway were several unopened parcels. They had the words Childrens Early Learning Toys written in bold on the boxes. Huo Jingshen entered the kitchen with a bag full of food ingredients. Shortly after, he brought out a te of cleaned strawberries, cing them on the coffee table, Have some of your favorite strawberries first, dinners almost ready. Su Wanwan: Was he going to keep bringing up strawberries? Once Huo Jingshen went back to the kitchen to busy himself, she picked up a strawberry and bit into it in one go! Taste good! Hum! * * After dinner, Su Wanwan ran upstairs to Fu Ziyangs study and started studying with the pile of study materials. She nned to pass Level 4 this semester and then Level 6 next semester. Perfect! But the peaceful scene didntst long. She had only done a few problems when the study room door was opened, and someone walked in. Su Wanwan looked up and immediately felt a chill down her spine. Damn it. This guy had already taken a shower. Hehe. Huo Jingshen let out a lowugh. Su Wanwan quickly averted her gaze, blushing as she sat upright and continued with her practice problems. What are you doing? How was dinner today? Was it good? asked Huo Jingshen. Su Wanwan timidly replied, It was good. Did you eat enough? She continued to be timid, I ate enough. Huo Jingshen chuckled lightly, Are you sure you ate enough? Su Wanwan: ?? She blinked a few times as if a thunderbolt had hit her brain. She quickly picked up a book from the table, I have problems to do, dont bother me! Huo Jingshen nced at the book in her hand, English Level 4. Intensive Filling 36 Series? His slender fingers took away the book from her hands. She immediately reached for the book and snatched it back again, I really have to do my problems. The test is less than a month away. Can you please not disturb me so I can study? A harmonious couple rtionship is beneficial to your mental and physical health and leads to joy, which will aid you in studying better, said Huo Jingshen, as he scooped her up in a princess carry. Be good. Keep your husbandpany for a while, and then continue to do problems. * * The next morning, the harsh sound of an rm clock rang. Su Wanwan whimpered and fumbled around, iling her arms before lifting her feet to kick him. Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow to hold her down and reached out his other hand to turn off the rm clock. Finally, there was no more noise. Su Wanwan pushed him away, rolled over, hugged the quilt, and went back to sleep. Huo Jingshen looked at the time on the rm clock and called out, Baby, its time to get up. There was no response. Baby, dont you have ss at nine oclock? Still no response. Baby. Stop bothering me! Su Wanwan kicked the quilt hard. Huo Jingshen: ???? She really had a nasty temper when waking up. Never mind, it was only seven oclock. Let her sleep for another half an hour. When half an hour had passed and it was now seven-thirty, without another word, he lifted the duvet up, picked up Su Wanwan, and headed towards the bathroom. In front of the mirror, Huo Jingshen asked her to stand in front of him, picked up a toothpaste and toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste onto the brush, then lifted her small hand and ced it in there, Hold it yourself and brush your teeth. Su Wanwan kept her eyes closed. Her messy hair fell over her small face, and she looked like she hadnt woken up fully just yet. Dont you have directing ss this morning? Brush your teeth and wash your face, and then your husband will send you to school. Be good, obey. Huo Jingshen felt as if he was taking care of his daughter. As she stayed motionless, he eventually pulled the toothbrush back, Open your mouth. Let your husband help you brush. Su Wanwan still didnt respond. Huo Jingshen helplessly opened her mouth wide, and just as he put the toothbrush in, Su Wanwan pped his hand away and began to struggle. I wont brush! I wont brush! I wont brush! So annoying! Im sleepy, sleepy! Huo Jingshen: ???? Chapter 307: 307, Rong An Punished Chapter 307: Rong An Punished Trantor: 549690339 Then she saw Su Wanwansment, You dont go to ss, youre squatting at home all day studying this kind of egg-cutting problem? MoWeiyi: Its over. When posting on the Moments, she forgot to block Su Wanwan. This girl has a fear of vicious dogs, and she hates dogs the most. Princess, its not good. The voice of Aunt Zhou suddenly sounded, This Hua Xiaobai seems very ufortable, is it sick? Mo Weiyi got up and then shouted, Quick, call 120! Aunt Zhou looked speechless, Princess, 120 is for saving people. What should we do then? Mo Weiyi was in a hurry and shouted, Rong An, Rong An,e quickly! Princess. A bodyguard walked in, but it wasnt Rong An. Mo Weiyi looked at him, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together, Why is it you? Wheres Rong An? The bodyguard said, Rong An has gone back to the old house. Why go back to the old house for no reason? Since thest incident, Rong An has been staying in the Lishui Bay Vi these days. Even if Mo Weiyi can only stay at home or asionally goes out for a walk, he always protects her every step of the way. The bodyguard hesitated to speak. Mo Weiyi suddenly had a feeling that something wasnt right, and hurriedly urged him, you speak, what happened to Rong An? The bodyguard had to say, The old man found out about your injury a few days ago, so he just called Rong An back. Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, Start the car, take me to the old house. As soon as she got in the car, Mo Weiyi immediately called Xiao Yebai. The call was quickly connected, she asked, Xiaobai, where are you? Whats up? Xiao Yebai questioned instead, his voice was still as indifferent as usual. You tell me, where are you now? When will you be home? Every time she causes trouble or has an ident, Master Mo and Mo Yaoxiong would me Xiaobai. And now that Rong An has been called back, this matter also concerns Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi felt very uneasy. As expected, Xiao Yebai said, I will be backter. Are you going to the old house? Mo Weiyi urged, Wait for me at the gate when you get there, dont go in by yourself, did you hear me? Xiao Yebai gave a lowugh, Whats wrong? Im going to protect you, dont go in, wait for me, remember to wait for me, did you hear me? Xiao Yebai didnt say a word. Mo Weiyi was extremely anxious, Xiaobai, did you hear me? If you dont listen tome, Ill get angry! Finally, a low male voice came from the other end of the phone, OK. After hanging up, Mo Weiyi also called the old house. But it was the servant who answered. Mo Weiyi asked her, Wheres my grandfather, let him answer my call. Princess, master is busy now, he said he wont take calls from anyone. MoWeiyi: She knew it! After hanging up, she began to urge, Drive faster! Many years ago, the familys bodyguard was driving her mother to a performance, and there was a car ident on the way. Mos grandfather only said three words C go and pay the penalty. She didnt see that bodyguard again until half a yearter. Hurry, go faster! She couldnt help but urged again. Princess, the car is already running at its fastest speed. The bodyguard dared not drive fast at all. After all, safety was the most important thing. If something happened again, he would be the one who suffered. Half an hourter, the car finally drove into the Mos old house. When she saw the familiar ck Bentley, Mo Weiyi was shocked. After getting out of the car, she rushed into the hall. Grandpa! Mos grandfather was sitting on the main chair in the middle of the hall. The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. He was calm andposed with a cup of tea in his hand. When he saw her, he even had a kind smile on his face. Yiyi, why did you suddenlye back? Mo Weiyi went straight to Xiao Yebai. When she saw that he was safe and sound, she sighed with relief, then turned to look at Mos grandfather, Grandfather, wheres Rong An? Grandfather Mos smile remained unchanged, and his tone was as casual as ever, Rong An failed in his duties, he should be punished to learn a lesson. As for you. He looked at the tall, silent young man in front of him, snorted, and said, You cant even protect your own wife, and still try to hide this Its me who asked them not to tell you! Plus the incident is my fault. Why are you punishing them? Mo Weiyi interrupted directly, Moreover, they have already taught that pervert a lesson, look at me, I am fine. I hope so. If theres anything Grandfather Mo put the teacup back on the table, a cold sh passing under his smiling eyes, The two of them, no one can live. Grandfather. Mo Weiyi walked to grandfathers side, her eyes were red, Im really fine, Xiaobai also came to save me quickly. We didnt tell you because we were afraid that you would worry. As for Rong An, he has been with me for so many years, hes like a brother to me, always silently protecting me, and he almost went to jail for this incident, If you harm him, I will feel guilty. Grandfather Mo didnt change. Grandpa. Mo Weiyi held Grandpa Mos hand, shaking it nonstop, begging in a soft voice, Please spare Rong An, please, Grandpa, please, please Mo Weiyi was very anxious, but Grandpa Mo lowered his head to look at the bandages on her hands, and his face became even darker. Grandpa Chapter 316: 316, my Xiaobai is the most handsome! Chapter 316: my Xiaobai is the most handsome! Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan was sincerely studying hard, solving problems, memorizing words, looking up references so busy and enjoying it. Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, was holding several entertainment gossip magazines, had earphones in his ears, listening to music while flipping through the magazines making whoosh sounds. The two sat together, in an oddly harmonious scene. Until the desk was gently knocked twice. Su Wanwan looked up. Jiang Shuhao was wearing a basketball jacket with jeans. He had a sunny smile on his clean face. Su Wanwan, here is a level four intensive memory word bank I found. If you memorize all these words, I guarantee that you will definitely pass the level four examination. With that, he handed over a semi-new level four dictionary. Su Wanwan opened it and saw that it was carefully marked with red, blue, and ck highlighters, highlighting key points, necessary to remember, potential exam questions Everything was as clear as day; it couldnt have been more thoughtful. She hesitated a bit, Is this yours? Yes. Jiang Shuhao didnt hide it, I dont need it anymore; Ive passed both levels four and six. You can use it. Su Wanwan was stunned, Isnt this a bit inappropriate? Its normal for a ss president and academicmittee member to help struggling ssmates. However, it was different because Lin Qiao was involved. If she epted his help, it would inevitably stir up trouble. She just wanted to study hard to pass the exams these days, and didnt want to waste precious time on these trivial matters. Jiang Shuhao chuckled and said, You just transferred here. Although youve been abroad for two years, your English listeningprehension is not a problem. But domestic examinations need lots of rote memorization. If you cram at thest minute, its like finding a needle in a haystack. With this dictionary, your studies will be twice as effective. Its my duty as a ss president to help you, so dont overthink it. After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for her response. Wow! Mo Weiyi spoke at this point, Does this Jiang Shuhao want to pursue you? Dont talk nonsense! Su Wanwan red at her, He knows Im married, its impossible. Mo Weiyi was wearing only one earphone, smiling cunningly, Actually, if you dontpare him to Mr. Huo, this Jiang Shuhao is also quite handsome. After all, he is schools heartthrob. He is tall, has fair skin, and good features with big eyes. He seems to be a student council officer too; a promising young man. Heh, how does hepare to your Xiaobai then? Su Wanwan asked on purpose. As she expected. Of course Xiaobai is the most handsome! With Xiaobai, all other men are just period-stop. And me, I wont settle! Su Wanwan: Can she go throw up first? Her grades arent great, but she sure cane up with sour phrases online. Just then, her phone screen lit up. Su Wanwan, out of patience with her, picked up her phone to look. It was a message from Qiao Zixin on WeChat. [Wanwan, grandpa has something for me to give to you.] [What is it?] [Its a property deed for a house in Sanluo Garden. Grandpa said it was just recently processed by Mr. Xing.] Su Wanwan remembers now. A few months ago, because Xing Yuyun cheated on Su Yanyan and regretted his engagement, Mr. Xing had beaten him up in front of everyone and promised topensate her with a property. She initially thought that was just a farce, but it turned out he was indeed processing the property deed. Qiao Zixin quickly sent another message, [How about this, after work, I will directly take it to the Imperial Court to give you.] Su Wanwan reflexively refused, [Could you please send it to my school, or I cane to yourpany to pick it up.] [Youre busy studying recently, right? Id better deliver it to you myself. Mypany is near the Imperial Court; its very convenient for me to go there. See you tonight.] Su Wanwan frowned. Which meant she has to go home tonight? Why was there a constant stream of ghosts trying to interrupt her from studying hard? ** Bingo Creative Company. After sending the message, Qiao Zixin was very excited. She looked at the property deed in her hand. The Sanluo Gardens house had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. Even though it was not a luxury house, its current price was already several million yuan. For the sake of so-called face, Grandpa Xing was really generous, Qiao Zixin thought with a sneer. Originally, the property deed was brought home by Su Yunrongst night, saying that he would bring it to Su Wanwan when he went to school tomorrow. Qiao Zixin saw it, thought of an excuse, and took it. She had never been to the Imperial Court before, most importantly, she could incidentally meet Huo Jingshen. She nned to go over at dinner time tonight to avoid missing the meal. Thinking of having dinner tonight with Huo Jingshen face to face Qiao Zixins pulse raced, she couldnt resist anymore, she got up, Bingbing. Whats up? Something urgent came up at home, can I take a half day off? Okay. ** After Qiao Zixin left thepany, she went directly to the styling salon. Getting a hairstyle, putting on makeup, picking out clothes and shoes, matching After several hours of preparation, she was radiant and exquisite. Around five in the evening, she took a car to the Imperial Court. She had the driver pull into the neighborhood, then dialed Su Wanwans number, Wanwan, Im here, whats the vi number? Number 69, someone should be home. Where are you? Qiao Zixin quickly asked. Im still on the way; the traffic is awful. Why dontyou give the stuff to Aunt Han, and dont wait for me. Got it. Although she said that, how could Qiao Zixin pass up this golden opportunity? When the car stopped in front of vi number 69, she got out and deliberately dawdled near the entrance. It wasnt until she saw a familiar ck Continental that she quickly turned around and pretended to ring the doorbell.. Chapter 341: 341, Wanwan has been elected as the department flower! Chapter 341: Wanwan has been elected as the department flower! Trantor: 549690339 Huanhuan! Seeing Shi Huan, Shi Luoluo ran over enthusiastically. As she approached, Shi Huan asked her, Luoluo, why is your phone off? Shi Luoluo searched through her bag for a while, her expression troubled, Huanhuan, I cant find my phone. Shi Huan: What should I do, if my phone is lost, will Grandma No worries, Ill take you to buy a new er. Mmm. Shi Luoluo nodded her head, immediately smiling. Grandma Huo. Chu Jingyis voice suddenly rang out. Old Lady Huo looked up, her expression slightly changing, then she quickly broke into a smile, Jingyi, howe youre here? However, in her heart, she was wondering why of all times, Chu Jingyi chose toe over the moment her granddaughter-inw had left and returned? Ever since the ne incident, where Huo Jingshen had specifically called her to exin, Old Lady Huo felt annoyed every time she saw Chu Jingyi! Especially with Su Wenwen right by her side. Chu Jingyi walked over, smiling, her gaze hovering over Shi Huan and Shi Luoluo, Oh, you have guests today? Old Lady Huo replied, Ziyang is celebrating his fifth birthday today, so we invited a couple of his little friends over for dinner. Oh, its a birthday celebration. I apologize, I didnt know, so I didnt bring a gift- No need, no need. Ill definitely make it up to him next time. Really no need, dont mention it As the two continued their exchange, Shi Huan spoke up at the right moment, Thank you for your hospitality today, Old Lady Huo. Its gettingte, and I should take Luoluo home. Old Lady Huo smiled benevolently, Go on, remember to visit more often and y with Ziyang. Su Wenwen immediately spoke up, Grandma, Im also going back to school. Old Lady Huo didnt forget to remind her, Drive slowly on your way, if youre not up for it, let the driver take you, I dont trust you driving. She had learned at dinner that Su Wenwen had driven over, which had given her quite the scare. Chu Jingyi stood aside, listening to the olddys ramblings with a slight smile on her red lips. Only when the three of them had left did she follow into the living room. Grandma Huo, are you familiar with this Shi Huan? What happened? Chu Jingyi said, Last time she went with my brother to attend Grandpas birthday banquet, she sat at the table next to us, dont you remember? Really? Old Lady Huo hadnt noticed at all. After all, Chu Xiuhuang always brought different women each time. She paid attention at first, but then when she realized it was never the same woman twice, the olddy lost interest. My brother really doesnt grow up, hes already thirty and still fooling around, he doesnt even have a serious girlfriend. Now, any woman, no matter who they are, tries to get close to my brother. Chu Jingyi spoke with hidden implications. Old Lady Huo responded half-heartedly, Well it takes two to tango, right? Chu Jingyis face slightly darkened, and she quickly added, Grandpa is really worried, but theres nothing we can do. With my brothers reputation, what good girl would want to get close to him? How about this, Grandma Huo, if you know any good girls, remember to introduce them to my brother. Upon hearing this, Old Lady Huo quickly waved her hand, No, no, if there are good girls, I have to save them for Nuanyang. Chu Jingyi: ** When Su Wenwen returned to school, it was almost five in the afternoon. Just as she parked the car, she received a call from Zhao Qianqian. Wanwan, its almost five oclock, the canteen is about to open, do you want to treat me to dinner? Why? Why? Shouldnt you thank me for helping you get elected as the Departmental Rose? I pulled in a lot of votes for you! Departmental Rose? What the heck? You dont know? The results for the Campus and Departmental Rose election thats been going on for half a month were announced today. The originally elected rose from our news department was Lin Qiao, but now its you! Moreover, you ranked second and only lost to the Campus Rose by two votes! Dont you think you should thank me? If I hadnt been running around the womens dorms lobbying for votes Damn it, Im grateful okay! Su Wenwen interrupted her through gritted teeth. Lin Qiao was the previous Departmental Rose for the news department, and now its her? How can she tolerate this? She could already sense a storm brewing! No need to mention it, just treat me to dinner tonight! Zhao Qianqian sounded quite pleased. Su Wenwen was even more speechless. After hanging up the phone, she immediately opened up the school forum. She typically didnt check the forum very often. She knew that she had been nominated before, but since there were so many nominees, she didnt pay much attention to it. But she had never imagined that she would rank so high. The reigning Campus Rose was still Mo Weiyi. In the photo, she was standing in the wind in a red dress, her long curly hair gently bouncing, her delicate and fair face smiling beautifully in the golden sunlight. With a tall figure, tasteful clothes, and a confident look, she fully embodied the persona of a campus flower. The second ce went to Su Wenwen. The photo submitted for her was from a previous evening party. She wore a white shirt with matching dress pants, her dark curly hairplimented her oval face with heavy makeup. She was tossing a ck zer from her hand, her stage presence full of dynamic charm. Aside from her cross-dressing performance at this party, she was basically invisible on campus! And now she had so many votes thanks to Zhao Qianqian! This was really going to kill her! With things as they were, Su Wenwen, despite being annoyed, could only take things one step at a time.. Chapter 349: 349, it’s more than just a liking Chapter 349: its more than just a liking Trantor: 549690339 Elsewhere, Su Yunrong takes Su Wanwan into the elevator. As soon as the doors close, she speaks in a grave tone, When we reach the office, remember to be sincere. The forum incident has created a terrible impact and the school leaders are very angry. I will help to keep this from the Huo Family, you just remember to admit your mistakes Admit my mistakes to whom? Su Wanwan interrupts her. Displeased, Su Yunrong still manages to say, The school leaders have already seen the posts on the forum. Not only that, this morning, someone also sent an email to the head of discipline, which is why Im taking you to the office. Su Wanwan replies, In those photos, some cars belong to my husband, some to the Huo Familys driver. The one holding my luggage is my husbands assistant, and that Ye Qitian is a friend of mine from Los Angeles. He got excited after not seeing me for a while, which is why the video of us was taken. Thinking Su Yunrong would believe her these words, she didnt expect Do you have any evidence? What do you mean by that? Su Wanwans face darkens instantly. Its one thing if others dont believe her, but Su Yunrong is her aunt, and she knows about her marriage to Huo Jingshen. Youre married and yet you cant settle down. Youre always messing around with different men. Now all your past affairs have been exposed. If the Huo Family finds out, what will they think of you? What will they think of our Su Family? You believe what you see from a few manipted photos? There is no smoke without fire. Considering your past mistakes, the many photos taken of you fooling around with men, you still consider yourself wronged? Why would they target you and not someone else? Su Yunrong questions aggressively, Do you know that all the students and teachers of our school are discussing this? Just now, even reporters from the newspaper called to question the integrity of our schools learning environment! All because of you. You are tainting the reputation of our entire school. Do you think this is eptable? Unable to hold back, Su Wanwan scoffs, What if I took some photos of you with the school leaders? Would it mean that youve slept your way up to your professor position? You Su Yunrongs face instantly turns red as a beet. Instinctively, she lifts her hand wanting to teach Wanwan a lesson. But her hand is caught halfway by Su Wanwan who then flings it away. Stumbling back, Su Yunrong hits the elevator wall and almost trips over her medium-heeled shoes. The entire elevator shakes as a result. Do you think Im still a child? To be beaten and scolded at your adults whims? You Su Wanwan interrupts once more, Now you know what it feels like to be wronged. Isnt it infuriating? At this, Su Yunrongs face turned ashen. Cant believe her niece would have the guts to talk back to her? Then Su Wanwan continues, Youre my elder. When I face such problem, you, as the first person to know, rather than help to seek out the truth and clear my name, straightaway deduced that it was my fault! Shame on you, a university professor. You dont even have the ability to tell right from wrong! Just following the crowd and making unfounded usations. Its nonsense! Let me tell you, everything in the posts is nder. What I didnt do, I didnt do! Without evidence, no one can penalize me in any way! At this point, the elevator door opens. Su Yunrong straightens herself up, adjusts her hair and clothes, her tone once again level, Why dont you save these words for the head of discipline! Alright then. Su Wanwan smiles lightly. The head of discipline knows her rtionship with Huo Jingshen. After all, he was the one who asked her to meet Huo Jingshenst time. So, once they enter the office, Su Wanwan doesnt say a word while Su Yunrong fusses about her wrongdoings. Until she says, Wanwan, apologize to the head. Su Wanwan remains silent. Then, the head of discipline waves her off, Thats enough Professor Su, I already know about the matter. You may leave first. Startled, Su Yunrong says, But Wanwan, she Ive already investigated the matter thoroughly. It is entirely fabricated nder! I have found the IP of the poster, so lets just end it here. Professor Su, you may leave first. Su Yunrong frowns, but since the head of discipline has made a decision, she has no choice but to leave. Once the door closes, the heads serious expression immediately turns to a gentle smile, Su student, why didnt you tell me about such a serious issue beforehand? Su Wanwan looks at him, Did you find out the IP of the poster? Who is it? No. Su Wanwans eyelid twitches. But dont worry Su student, you are the daughter-inw of the Huo Family. How could you possibly do such a thing? Rest assured, the school will delete all the posts, ban all participants who discussed the matter, and issue a school-wide notice. Anyone who unreasonably defames another in the future will be dealt with ording to school regtions! Serious offenders will be expelled! Su Wanwan gazes at him, unsure if she should offer gracias or Alright, go back to ss now, the head continues with his benevolent smile. Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan decides to let it be for now. The school is stepping in, so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon, saving her the hassle. Once Su Wanwan has left, the head of discipline immediately dials a number, Hello, is this Assistant Ji? Over there, Ji Jie is taken aback, May I ask who this is? Chapter 350: 350, Water pipe inspection? Chapter 350: Water pipe inspection? Trantor: 549690339 Ji Jie looked dazed on the other end, May I know who is this? I am the head of the journalism department of Nancheng University. I would like to report personally to Mr. Huo about Mrs. Huos situation, but his phone is not reachable. Mr. Huo is away on a business trip to the United Kingdom. I see, well can you please share with me Mr. Huos contact information? Even an email address is fine. Okay. Thus, when Huo Jingshen woke up and turned on hisputer, he received greetings from across the ocean. He looked at the scene in the video. Ye Qitian was spinning Su Wanwan in front of a red Maserati. They both were in the prime of their youth. Combined with the dreamy bubble filter effect, they looked wonderful and youthful, just like a pair of young lovers in the campus. Then he listened to the background song. You know, my feelings for you are more than just liking you, yet you dont see More than just liking? Then what is it? Love? Ha-ha. It seems that in his absence from the country, the little girl had indeed been leading a very fulfilling life. The report sent by the head of the department was very detailed, even all the pictures and videos were sent over. He mainly wanted to make a good impression on Mr. Huo, little did he know that he would soon receive a long-distance call from the United Kingdom. As soon as he heard the voice on the phone, the head of the department was extremely respectful, Mr. Huo. You handled this matter well. Upon hearing the praise, the head of the department was overjoyed, Mr. Huo, youre too kind. This is my duty. Seeing Mrs. Huo performing excellently in the school, I knew right away that the posts were pure rumors. Please rest assured, Mr. Huo, everything has been taken care of. Do me two more favors. Please tell me, Mr. Huo. * * Su Wenwen had no idea that the video of her and Ye Qitian had been circted across the ocean. Back in the ssroom. Everyone turned their heads to look at her, most of them with an expression of anticipation for a good show. Di Chenghe spoke with an even tone, Come in. Returning to her seat, Zhao Qianqian immediately leaned in, What did they say? What did they say? Su Wenwen replied, Its all good. Really? Zhao Qianqian was thrilled, T knew it, the school leadership is quite wise. Su Wenwen smiled and started paying attention to the lecture. Not far away, Lin Qiao stole a nce and quickly looked away. * * After two periods. Zhao Qianqian looked at her phone and immediately stood up, The school has already issued a notice! Lets see who dares to gossip now! Everyone in the ss hurriedly picked up their phones. Su Wenwen also opened the forum. She saw that the previously hot threads on the forums homepage hadpletely disappeared. Instead, a bold blue notice issued by the school was pinned at the top. The content was more or less the same as what the head of the department had said earlier. Su Wenwen also breathed a sigh of relief. When she left the ssroom, it was buzzing once again. The school issued a notice stating that it was defamation by the person who posted the thread? The posts have all been deleted! Damn, I only replied saying that one shouldnt judge a book by its cover, and my ount got suspended? See if you dare to spread rumors in the future! Ha-ha-ha-ha Someone raised a doubt, They say Su Wenwen got a backer, its solid evidence now, right? Such a big thing happened and there was no exnation, they just deleted the post and banned the ount! What can we do? This is what the school says. Who would dare to bring up this matter in the future? Lin Qiao suddenly spoke, Our new department flower is impressive, right? A trip to the head of the departments office and the issue is resolved. Everyone looked at her, each with a different expression. So, you all be careful in the future, dont upset her again. Be careful of the head of the department causing trouble for you. After saying that, Lin Qiao got up and left with a smile. Su Wenwen, do you think everything is over with the support of the head of the department? Not at all! * * Not long after Su Wenwen returned to the dormitory, someone knocked on the door. I am the dormitory manager. There will be a water pipe inspection in this dormitory building. You might want to pack up your stuff. You cant stay here for these few days. Huh? Su Wenwen was stunned. If you are not a local resident of Nancheng, you can go to the nearest Home Inns with other students. The school will reimburse youter. Su Wenwen was speechless, Thenhow long will the inspection take? The manager said, Until next Monday. Okay, I understand. Even though it was baffling, Su Wenwen had no choice. She will have to go home. Thats just as well. She wouldnt have to deal with all the gossipmongers at school and fortunately, Huo Jingshen was not home. She quickly packed her things and drove home. Halway through, she received a call from Mo Weiyi. Wenwen, its an emergency! What happened? Do you have any films at your ce? I want ones from Neon Country, not from the West. Upon hearing this, Su Wenwen trembled with fright and almost drove onto the next road. She rolled her eyes fiercely, Mo Xiaose! What on earth are you thinking about all day! Whimper, all the films I have prepared before disappeared suddenly. I have justpleted the makeup, your ce surely has them, help me find them now, I need to borrow one urgently. Why would I have that kind of thing at my ce? Dont pretend, youre already married, how can you not have them. Look for them quickly, Ill ask the bodyguard to drive over and pick up. Before Su Wenwen could reply, the call was hung up. Su Wenwen continued to drive, then she suddenly remembered an incident from when she first visited the mansion and met Huo Jingshen and his friends, it seemed like someone had gifted an entire box of. Chapter 351: 351, there are thieves at home. Chapter 351: there are thieves at home. Trantor: 549690339 Fine, lets just find them and give them all to Mo Xiaose. This way, I wont be utterly embarrassed if they are discovered by a shameless old man in the future. With this decision made, Su Wanwan started to rummage through her room when she returned home. In the end, she really found them in a cab. A whole bag full of them! Damn! Su Wanwans face turned red and her heart pounded as she quickly covered it with another bag. About ten minutester, their maid Aunt Han came knocking, Madam, someone is looking for you. Ill be right there. Carrying the bag and not daring to lift her head, Su Wanwan went downstairs guiltily. Aunt Han: Whats gotten into Madam? * * Su Wanwan thought Rong An would be fetching the items, she didnt expect another burly man she didnt know toe. He was broad-shouldered and muscr, almost bursting out of his ck suit. When he took the bag, he actually started inspecting the contents. Dont move! Su Wanwan shouted in panic. The bodyguard looked up and exined seriously, I must do a preliminary examination of anything given to the princess. Theres no need to check, these are indeed her items! Su Wanwan, seeming anxious, her face flushed and ears red. Inspection right in front of her? Was this necessary? If he opened it now and saw the contents, he might think she bought them, how would he view her in the future? The bodyguard continued with a serious expression, No, it must be examined. With that said, he opened the bag without any hesitation. Su Wanwan simply did not have time to stop him. She then witnessed the bodyguard, with furrowed eyebrows and stern features, examining every item in the bag. Things got worse when Aunt Han suddenly came downstairs in the process. She curiously leaned in to see! When she saw what the bodyguard was holding, papers printed with various exaggerated marketing phrases and explicit, vivid images She blushed, swiftly turned on her heel, and walked away. In her anxiety, she almost tripped and fell! Su Wanwan held her forehead helplessly. What kind of karma did she umte? Why did she have to know someone like Mo Xiaose? Finally, after the examination, the bodyguard said in a cold voice, Thank you Miss Su, there are no issues. It was only when he gathered up the bag and turned to go that Su Wanwan noticed his ears were bright red. How ridiculously embarrassing! * * The bodyguard hadnt been gone long when it began to get dark, followed by the sudden sounding of thunder. Madam, it seems like its going to rain, Aunt Han quickly said, walking into the master bedroom to close the doors and windows. Not long after, she went into the other rooms to do the same. Su Wanwan went onto the balcony. Although it was only four or five in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and the distance was not easy to see. Soon after, a light rain began to fall. The autumn wind made the atmosphere chilly. The master bedroom in the vi wasrge, perhaps because she hadnt stayed there for a few days, the room seemed even more spacious than usual. Especially in this rainy weather, the dampness was heavier, and there was an inexplicable sense of destion and loneliness. After eating dinner, Aunt Han finished her chores and went back to her room downstairs to rest. Su Wanwan was left alone in the vast master bedroom, feeling unnaturally quiet as she studied. At eleven oclock in the evening. After her bath, Su Wanwan went to bed. The cold wind and bitter rain outside were blocked by the curtains. She closed her eyes and inhaled the faint, chilly yet familiar scent in the quilt, and slowly fell asleep. She was in a deep sleep, until Su Wanwan jolted awake, her eyes opening to a pitch-ck room. She felt a damp, cold sensation, simr to the feeling of being watched. Not having time to think, Su Wanwan raised her fist and struck out. Hearing a muffled groan, she quickly followed up with a powerful kick. Hiss! This time the muffled groan seemed louder. And Su Wanwan seemed to have somewhate around, um, this voice sounds familiar. Could it be Before she could speak. What do you think youre doing? A mans deep and clearly displeased voice resounded familiarly in the dark. Su Wanwans heart thumped. At the same time, themp was switched on. The bedroom was suddenly as bright as daylight. Su Wanwan raised her hand and covered her eyes, taking a while to adjust to the harsh light. Once she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting to one side, his dark eyes narrowed, holding his nose and staring at her with an overcast expression. He hadnt even taken off his suit and was still wearing a shirt and trousers underneath. He was even wearing a tie and wristwatch. By the looks of it, he found her as soon as he entered the house and then She had hit him! Feeling guilty, Su Wanwan quickly asked, Are you okay? Huo Jingshen, his hair somewhat messy and his eyes narrowed, stared at her with an overcast expression and remained silent. Su Wanwan felt even more uneasy. She reached out and pulled his hand away from his face, Are you bleeding? Let me check. Huo Jingshen: Checking and seeing that there was no real damage and his nose was still as high and handsome as ever, Su Wanwan was relieved. She immediately started scolding him, Why didnt you call me beforehand? Why didnt you turn on the light and just crawl into bed? I thought we had a burr! Huo Jingshen coldly scoffed, If your husband is a thief, then what are you? Su Wanwan was stunned, it took her a moment to react, What? You are a little white flower, Huo Jingshen stated. Su Wanwan: God! So he is a Flower thief? Chapter 352: 352, there are people above. Chapter 352: there are people above. Trantor: 549690339 My goodness, I need to divert the conversation quickly, By the way, have you finished your work over there? Can Ie back to care for you if Im still busy? replied Huo Jingshen, sneering. Su Wanwan: In fact, after receiving a certain email, Huo Jingshen immediately booked the earliest flight back. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bedroom earlier, he saw the little girl. Dressed in a pink nightdress, with her seaweed-like hair spread out, and eyes closed, she slept peacefully lovely just like a pure angel. He has excellent night vision, so he did not turn on the light, but unexpectedly Youre so carefree at home while Im away on a business trip, huh? Driving? epting gifts from men? And even indulging in someromantic antics? With every revtion, Su Wenwens heart skipped a beat. Did he know everything already? Now, not even this room can I enter? Who said you couldnte into the bedroom? Su Wenwen retorted. Then who was the one who just punched me and kicked me, nearly breaking my bones? Breaking bones? Isnt that an exaggeration? But Su Wenwen was frightened, and could only exin sheepishly, I said it wasnt intentional. It was it was self-defense! Did you have to defend yourself against your own husband? Su Wanwan: She muttered quietly, But its not early anymore, and I have ss in the morning. Indeed, itste. Huo Jingshen wasnt an easy one topromise. Su Wanwan again: The next morning. When Su Wanwan woke up, it was already broad daylight. Although the curtains were closed, the bright light still shone through. Su Wanwan sat up abruptly, then immediately yelped in pain and fell back. The noise startled the man who was originally in the bathroom toe out. Awake, sweetheart? Su Wenwenid there, her eyes teary as she looked at him, Whats the time? Huo Jingshen nced at his watch, Noon. Twelve oclock. What? Su Wanwans eyes widened in surprise. Noon already? How long has it been since shest slept sote? And whats most concerning is she had a morning ss today, her ss advisors journalism ss. Did she just skip it? Ive already called in sick for you. Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but still red at him, Bastard, why didnt you wake me up? I wanted you to sleep in. With that, Huo Jingshen approached her, Since youre awake, get up and have lunch. Ill take you to school in the afternoon. Okayoh, wait! Su Wanwan suddenly objected. What now? Su Wanwan huffed, Your car is too shy. Thest time you drove me to school, someone took a picture and posted it on the school forum. Now all the gossips at school call you the old codger who sponsors me! Im an old codger? Huo Jingshens face darkened. Theyve never seen what you look like, who knows if youre old or not? Moreover, Im the one who ended up with a bad reputation. The whole school thinks Im promiscuous, earning money by selling myself! Talking about this, Su Wanwan couldnt help butin about him. If it werent for him consistently making herte or leave early, even driving a luxury car to the school and those ambiguous photographs that got taken Would there be these many misunderstandings and rumors now? Chapter 353: 353, Blacklist Chapter 353: cklist Trantor: 549690339 | Meanwhile, at Nancheng University. After two morning sses, Lin Qiao was about to leave the ssroom when suddenly, the Dean of Students appeared at the ssroom door. Is Su Wenwen here? At the mention of this name, Lin Qiao quickly looked up, Sir, Su Wenwen did note to ss this morning. The Dean of Students nodded, When she arrives, tell her to see me in my office. Yes, Sir. After the Dean left, Lin Qiao furrowed her brow in thought. Why was he suddenly calling for Su Wanwan? Could it be he was going to What do you think the Dean wants with Su Wanwan? a female ssmate echoing her thoughts, asked from behind. What else could it be? To do something romantic, haha a girl who had always disliked Su Wanwan said. Dont talk nonsense. The Dean sent a notice yesterday, watch you dont end up on the cklist. Who cares, isnt it just cool to have someone backing you up? What can we do? Who would stand up to the Deans charm, haha The two girls giggled at their own conversation. Lin Qiao moved closer and consciously added, Thats impossible, isnt it? The Dean is over forty. Whats wrong with forty? Didnt you see in that post, there were even guys over fifty? Exactly, remember thest time Su Wenwen went to see the Dean, they stayed in his office for over an hour! The Dean sent out a notice yesterday, and today Su Wenwen didnt show up for ss, whos got courage enough to be that arrogant without someone backing them up? Now that exins why the matter was suppressed so quickly! So thats how it is, hahaha What can we do, we dont have skills like her, able to please the Dean so well. Exactly The two girls continued exaggerating until Lin Qiao interrupted, Dont say such things, maybe the Dean just wants to discuss something important with Su Wenwen. Give me a break, Lin Qiao, I remember you used to hate her too. Why are you suddenly defending her? Lin Qiao said, The school already issued a notice. Plus, theres no proof. Immediately one of the girls said, Dont you believe it? Want to bet? Lets follow her when shees to school and see for ourselves. See what? What do you think well see? The girl said, and thenughed with her friend. Lin Qiao frowned. Butwhat if were discovered and the Dean gets angry? How dare he get angry after fooling around with a student? The girl was bold. Everyone knows that the person backing Su Wenwen is him. Thats true. I n to record it on my phone, oh my, Scandal involving the Dean of Students and a student, the news would be so exciting How about this, Lin Qiao gave it a thought, didnt the ss monitor say we were going to discuss our graduation internships next semester? Ill invite him along. The two girls looked at each other then nodded, Okay, okay. With the ss monitor and a few other student leaders involved, when they caught her, it would be Simply too exciting! * * * At half past one in the afternoon, Huo Jingshen drove up to the school gate. After stopping the car, Su Wanwan immediately unbuckled her seatbelt Im off. Hmm. Su Wanwan was a bit surprised. Thats it? He didnt say anything else? Subconsciously, she looked at Huo Jingshen. Beneath that noble and straight nose were thin lips, habitually pursed into a straight line. The area around his lips was clean and the jawline was smooth and beautiful. Then Su Wanwan suddenly thought of a phrase. Men with thin lips are heartless. What a bunch of nonsense! Where was this man heartless? In private, he waspletely unrestrained Baby. His low voice suddenly sounded and Huo Jingshen looked at her from the corner of his deep, dark eyes, Whats wrong? Nothing. Su Wanwan quickly averted her gaze and was about to push open the door but was stopped by his hand. Liar. Huh? You were ring at my mouth. So tell me, what were you thinking? Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, his expression full of danger. Su Wanwan blinked, II just Just say it, your husband will back you up. With that, Huo Jingshen smirked. Su Wanwan: But then she had an idea. Okay. She leaned in. A peck. Wanting to get out of the car, she was pulled back by him again. Go now. Su Wanwan, stili somewhat dazed, pushed open the car door and got out of the car. It was not until the young girls figure disappeared into the school gate did Huo Jingshen pick up his phone. His voice returned to its usual depth and coldness. In an hour, get everyone to the office. * * * As soon as Su Wanwan entered the school gate, a few female students walked towards her. She didnt know them. But the girls started pointing at her and whispering to each other, clearly not saying anything kind. Su Wanwan stopped, standing still and watching them. She didnt say anything, her small face was cold, and her phoenix eyes stared directly at them. Finally, it was them who got embarrassed. They quickly ran away from each other. Only then did Su Wanwan walk towards the ssroom building. As soon as she entered the ssroom, Lin Qiao came up to her, Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan looked up at her, still wondering why this annoying girl came to her so boldly? The Dean of Students asked you to see him in his office, Lin Qiao said, her eyes sweeping across Su Wanwans face.. Chapter 354: 354, do you need me to show you my marriage certificate? Chapter 354: do you need me to show you my marriage certificate? Trantor: 549690339 The counselor asked you to see him in his office. Lin Qiao said, ncing at Su Wenwens neck. Shes so shameless! The post was barely deleted before she eagerly went to do that kind of thing with an old man! She even dared to skip the morning ss! And she left so many marks on her neck, as if shes afraid that people wouldnt notice? Whats the matter? Su Wanwan frowned. Didnt we deal with everything yesterday? How would I know? Lin Qiao said impatiently, He asked you to see him, now hurry up. Alright. After Su Wenwen left the ssroom, two girls got up and signaled Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao nodded, and walked over to Jian Shuhao, Shuhao, the teacher asked us ss leaders to discuss about the internship program in his office. Ok. Lin Qiao quickly went to Zhao Qianqian, Qianqian, you should join us. Okay. ** Su Wanwan arrived at the office, and knocked on the door. The door opened, and the counselor said cheerfully, Wanwan, youre here. Mr. Counselor, do you need me for something? The counselor gestured, Sit down and well talk. Uh. Su Wanwan felt utterly confused, Sir Sit down and wait for a bit, I have to handle something. After that, the counselor turned around and left, taking care to close the door as well. Su Wanwan stood there, her face showing her confusion. After looking around, she waited in a near-catatonic state on the sofa. She sat upright initially, but when the counselor didnt return, she rxed and started browsing her phone. Time passed slowly. Finally, the movement of the doorknob could be heard. Su Wanwan hastily stood up, ready and respectful. The door opened. The first thing that came into view was a pair of straight, long legs in ck tailored suit trousers. The trousers were immacte and ironed stiff. Beneath that shone polished, dust-free ck leather shoes. Upon seeing that familiar masculine face, Su Wanwan waspletely stunned. ** A half-hourter, Lin Qiao arrived with the ss monitor and several other ss representatives. The counselor was still yapping on, and as the elevator doors opened, they saw a group of reporters in the hallway. Big cameras, microphones in hands; it was quite a spectacle. Whats going on? the ss monitor asked anxiously, What are you doing here? One reporter asked, Could you please tell us where Director Zhous office is? Zhou was the director of the Journalism Department. Lin Qiao quickly asked, What do you guys want with Director Zhou? The reporter said, Weve received a tip-off about a female students sex scandal. We want to interview Director Zhou. What a coincidence? Lin Qiao couldnt believe it. This scandal had even reached the medias ears? Well, it makes sense. Who doesnt love gossip? Nancheng University being the barometer of education in Nancheng, and the forum was just on the brink of a big mess. Someone mustve spilled it to the reporters. Lin Qiao was secretly delighted, Ill lead you there. With a nce, the two girls quickly followed suit. The ss monitor wanted to stop her, but couldnt keep up. Lin Qiao, leading the reporters, knocked on the office door, but there was no response. Were they fooling around inside? Before she had a chance to think, she impulsively opened the door and barged in. Then she saw a man in a ck suit sitting on the sofa, with Su Wanwan on hisp. They seemed to be Ahhh Lin Qiao screamed in excitement. The reporters, with their professional instincts, rushed in with their cameras. The others quickly followed. In no time at all, the small office was crowded. Lin Qiao stood to the side and listened to the reporters asking questions in all directions: Director Zhou, may I ask what you are doing? Is this a student from the school? I heard that Director Zhou often uses his position to take advantage of female students, how do you exin this? Youngdy, are you here voluntarily? The ss teacher had already rushed in, his face very panicked, Whats going Lin Qiao hastily exined in good faith, Teacher, Su Wanwan and Director Zhou have been caught in an affair in the office! An affair? The volume of the ss teacher suddenly increased. Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, What are you all doing in my office! Lin Qiao turned around and was stunned, Direct Director how could you The man standing at the door was the director of discipline? Then, who was the man on the sofa? The ss teacher was also a little confused, and a few student leaders on the side were even more baffled. On the sofa, Su Wenwen got off Huo Jingshensp with her face red. Director Zhou. The mans voice was deep and maic, possessing the unique charm specific to mature men. Mr. Huo, I was wrong. The disciplinary director felt bitter in his heart and rushed to exin, Mr. Huo, I just went downstairs to pick up a package, I really didnt know anything, Mr. Huo, Ive been wronged Separated by a group of reporters, he couldnt see Mr. Huos expression, but his good deed suddenly interrupted, moreover, interrupted by a group of reporters, this The disciplinary directors back was breaking out in a cold sweat. After speaking, he stared fiercely at Lin Qiao, Who let you bring the reporters here! Lin Qiaos face turned pale with fright, he couldnt even speak properly, I I didnt know At that moment, finally, a female reporter recognized him, Mr. Huo? How could it be Mr. Huo! Another male reporter who didnt recognize him asked, Whos Mr. Huo? The female reporter red at him, Dont you know the president of Huo Yuan Group? How much you are out of touch! The male reporter waspletely startled. Looking at Huo Jingshen again. He sat on the sofa, his custom-made ck suit exuding a cold light, embodying a sense of superiority. His features were handsome, his eyes slightly squinted. The light came from the side, making his eyes appear deep and inscrutable. His thin lips tensed into a straight line, his jaw line was also serious, revealing his displeasure at this moment. But the next second, all the reporters as if injected with adrenaline, they raised their mics and rushed over: Mr. Huo, what is your rtionship with this female student? Is this your girlfriend? Mr. Huo, why are you dating your girlfriend in the office? Huo Jingshens thin lips lifted into a shallow arc, he lifted his eyelids, coldly looking at the men holding the microphones, Why do you think I am dating my wife in the office? His voice was exceptionally indifferent and tense, yet his words set off a wave of shock among the reporters and caused a stir on the scene. Damn, did I hear wrong? Is this the so-called daughter-inw of the Huo Family? Mr. Huo, are you telling the truth? Is this woman really your wife? Are you guys actually married? Mr. Huo With a sullen face, Huo Jingshen scoffed, Do you need me to show you our marriage certificate? At this time, the disciplinary director finally squeezed in from the periphery. Since Huo Jingshen personally admitted his identity, he then solemnly exined, Everyone, please be quiet, I am the dean of the journalism department, my name is Zhou. As a matter of fact, Mr. Huo and Ms. Su were married quite some time ago, but because there were some defamatory posts on the school forum that caused serious psychological damage to Ms. Su a few days ago, Mr. Huo hurried back from a business trip overseas and arranged to meet Ms. Su here, wanting tofort his wife. Ms. Su has always been very low-key in school, and Mr. Huo also prefers not to be ostentatious. A few times before, I acted as a bridge and arranged for them to meet here. I didnt expect that it would lead to such a misunderstanding today. I hope everyone can understand and refrain from harboring negative thoughts. So thats how it is. It was all a misunderstanding! Mr. Huo is really low-key! Some reporters began to ask, So have you figured out what happened on the forum? Yes, we received a tip that there are defamatory posts about Mrs. Huo on your school forum. There must be someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes, right? Of course, theres no way the daughter-inw of the Huo family would have an inappropriate rtionship with another man! Ive seen the screenshots of those men, none of them are as handsome as Mr Huo! Exactly, exactly! Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the perfect couple! A match made in heaven! They are made for each other! A twitch appeared on the corners of Su Wenwens mouth as she listened. Were these reporters here to tter them? Couldnt they be a little less obvious with their adoration? Chapter 355: 355, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the official Chapter 355: Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the official couple. Trantor: 549690339 Isnt that outright brown-nosing? She sneaked a nce at Huo Jingshen. He was sitting there, his long legs crossed, lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes full of pleasure. He simply couldnt be any happier! In the midst of the praising voices, a figure quietly turned to leave as if trying to sneak away unnoticed. However, she had barely reached the door when Stop! Nobody is allowed to leave! The Dean of Discipline roared out of nowhere, startling her so much that she turned white with fear. Immediately following it Our Nancheng University, with a rich history of 100 years, has always upheld the motto of being united, disciplined, and academically rigorous. The purpose of the discussion forum is to provide a tform for students tomunicate and exchange ideas, not to spread rumors, incite malicious arguments, or even deliberately defame, nder, or malign others! The Dean of Discipline said with a stern look. Lin, is this urgency to leave because of a guilty conscience? All eyes turned to Lin Qiao. The homeroom teacher was also stunned. Dean Zhou, are you implying that all those posts were made by Lin Qiao? Teacher Wang, it wasnt me! Lin Qiao hurriedly denied. If it wasnt you, who else could it be? Su Wanwan couldnt help but step forward and use, In the whole school, besides Weiyi, you and Jian Shuhao are the only ones from my high school. If it wasnt you, could it be him? Jian Shuhao, however, had no reaction at this time. Because he was still in shock. Su Wanwanhow did she be the wife of Mr. Huo? What happened to being rtives? Su Wenwen continued, You told me the Dean wanted to see me. You then intentionally brought the homeroom teacher, ssmittee, and a bunch of reporters. You barged in without even knocking. Could all this be a coincidence? Were you possibly trying to catch me doing something wrong? Lin Qiao bit her lip. Only now was she starting to realize that something was off. Exactly, could it really be such a coincidence? The Dean just happened to summon Su Wanwan, a group of reporters just happened to be looking for the Dean, and they just happened to burst in and find Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan on the couch together Normally, how could reporters be allowed into the school? Not to mention wandering around the office building? Plus, she was sure she had knocked on the door earlier! It was obviously you! Are you still trying to deny it? The usations in her head confused Lin Qiao, and without thinking about earlier events, all she could do was deny it. It wasnt me! Definitely not me! If you dont believe me, you can check the forum IP! Check my phone! The posts all got shut down, how do we check? The girl who had initially wanted to catch the cheaters in the act started talking, Youre the main suspect out of everyone in the school because we all know that youve always had it in for Su Wenwen! Lin Qiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. This treacherous girl, she was the one who suggested just now that they should catch the cheaters in the act! Exactly! Another girl also saw the way the wind was blowing and chimed in, On Su Wanwans first day in ss, you argued with her in front of everyone. Dont think weve forgotten. And every time she did well, you deliberately spread bad things about her. Who else could have done this other than you? Only at this moment did Lin Qiao truly understand what it meant to be kicked while youre down! She said angrily, Just moments ago, it was you two who said that the Dean had called Su Wanwan for a rendezvous, and you urged me to gather everyone to catch them in the act. Now youre pretending to be the good guys? Su Wanwans eyes swiveled, and a chilling light shed in them. The girls face changed instantly out of fear, Thats because we were misled by your posts! Now that we know Su Wanwan is Mr. Huos wife and knowing how outstanding Mr. Huo is, Su Wanwan could never possibly engage in an illegitimate rtionship with other men! Exactly! The other girl hurriedly added, Its clearly you spreading malicious nder; your intentions are abominable! Youre simply jealous of Su Wanwan! Do you have any proof? Lin Qiao gritted her teeth, Without any evidence, youre just ndering me! How is what youre doing now any different from the person who posted those messages? Anyhow, the forum posts had already been deleted and it was impossible to check them now. As long as she kept denying it vehemently, they couldnt pin any me on her. You The disciplinarian was so frustrated. If only he hadnt been so quick to delete the post; now theres no evidence left. But there was no other choice. If the post hadnt been deleted quickly, Mrs. Huo might have been the target of more campus bullying. Catching a glimpse of Huo Jingshens cold, displeased gaze, the disciplinarian s legs began to shake. Being a human is hard! So what should we do now? A tense standstill fell over the office. Until, fast-paced footsteps echoed from the corridor. Everyone rushed to look. Mr. Huo. Su Wanwan was surprised, why had Ji Jie arrived too? Behind him was the Huo Familys driver, Old Lian. And behind them, a blonde girl with swollen, tear-streaked eyes entered, apanied by two uniformed policemen. Everyones expressions instantly changed, and Lin Qiao was so scared her legs gave out. At Huo Jingshens cue, Ji Jie began to speak, My name is Ji Jie, I am Mr. Huos assistant. I had previously visited the school once to help move Mrs. Huos dormitory. I didnt expect that someone would deliberately take pictures. After speaking, he introduced Old Lian, This is the Huo familys driver, Old Lian. Old Lian, who was named, quickly exined, I came that day to take the youngdy shopping. Mrs. Huo and the seconddy were both seated in the back. I only got out to open the car door for the youngdy. You mustnt misunderstand. Ji Jie continued, These two are the officers in charge of this case. One of the older policemen spoke, My name is Officer Wu. After receiving Mr. Jis report, we conducted an immediate investigation and found that the person who posted the messages was this student, Week Xiaohan, a second-year student in your schools Chinese Literature department. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaohan burst into tears, All the old pictures of Su Wanwan were provided by Lin Qiao, so was the ount I used to post. All the previous posts were made by her, I only made thest one. I was wrong, I wont dare to do it again, teacher, can you stop the police from arresting me? I was wrong, teacher, I was wrong, woo-hoo She was only neen after all, seeing the police made her panic and she confessed to everything, simply hoping to admit her mistakes in order to reduce her punishment. Youre talking nonsense! Lin Qiao shouted in desperation, Dont try to frame me, it wasnt me! I dont even know you! Lin Qiao just admit it. Ive got our WeChat conversation history here, the police have already seen it. Lin Qiao blurted out, Didnt I ask you to delete everything? I did delete it, but the police recovered it. After speaking, Zhou Xiaohan started begging again, Teacher, I was wrong, I initially disliked Su Wanwan and wanted to nder her and make everyone else hate her, I didnt think things would get this serious. What utter foolishness! The disciplinarian snorted, Lin Qiao, what else do you have to say for yourself! But what could Lin Qiao say now? Su Wanwan suddenly stepped forward, Zhou Xiaohan, why would you nder me for no reason? Zhou Xiaohan burst into tears, That day in the cafeteria, you made me apologize in front of everyone. It was so humiliating, I just Su Wanwan: Now she finally remembered. This Zhou Xiaohan was the girl who had hit Bai Ruwei in the small cafeteria that day. She had been crying so much today that Su Wanwan hadnt recognized her before. How did you meet Lin Qiao? Su Wanwan asked again. Were from the same hometown and were both members of the student council, she always took care of me. We got along well so she often badmouthed you in front of me. After I told her about the cafeteria incident, she suggested ndering you and asked me to endorse the posts. When things blew up, she gave me the ount. After finishing the exnation, Zhou Xiaohan started crying again, begging with all her might, Su Wanwan, I was just confused for a moment, can you forgive me? I was misled by her, please ask the police not to arrest me, I promise I will never do it again. Confused for a moment? Su Wanwan sneered, If my husband hadnte to help and clear up everything, do you know how your moment of confusion would have made the whole school see me? Those dirty, humiliating words wouldnt have been about you, right? It feels good to post such nder and be a keyboard warrior, doesnt it? Hoping for a simple apology when things go wrong, is there such a forgiving thing in this world? And, you! Su Wanwans gaze hardened as she turned to Lin Qiao, What did I ever do to offend you? From the first day of school, you have been targeting me endlessly.. I didnt squabble with you out of maturity, but you took it as encouragement? You made troubles for me every day, ndering and scorning me behind my back wasnt enough, now youre posting about me as well? Did I desecrate your familys grave or something? Chapter 356: 356, Mr. Huo debuts in position C Chapter 356: Mr. Huo debuts in position C Trantor: 549690339 Su Wanwan turned abruptly towards Lin Qiao, What exactly have I done to you? From the first day of school, youve been targeting me non-stop. I chose to be the bigger person and not argue with you, and yet you keep making my life miserable. Behind my back you smear my name and isnt that enough? Now youre even posting about me online! Have I desecrated your familys graves or something? Her relentless barrage of questions left Lin Qiao both enraged and flustered, making her finally blurt out, Are you suggesting Ive wronged you somehow? Can you deny that youve ever messed around with men? Are those photos of you partying also fake? Now that youve married into a wealthy family, you want to whitewash your past? Can you deny you only had eyes for the Huo Familys wealth? Moreover, the time you won first ce at the evening g was because Mr. Huo and the director gave you perfect scores! Can you deny you obtained those through backdoor channels? And now youre ying the innocent here? Isnt it merely because you have the Huo Family supporting you Ah! Su Wanwan pped her sharply across the face. Everyone present jumped, startled. Ji Jies eyes bulged wide, and Officer Lao Liangs heart lurched. As for the reporters, they frantically snapped pictures. Wow, is Mrs. Huo fierce! Huo Jingshen himself raised an eyebrow slightly at her disy. Clutching her face, Lin Qiao felt a mix of pain, anger, and humiliation. Before she could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly startedughing. Herughter was brilliantly dazzling. As seen in Lin Qiaos eyes, it was a mix of smugness and cruelty. Su Wanwan said, I wont deny my past, but now, yes, I do have someone to lean on! And what about you? All you can do is nder me behind my back and secretly envy me. Your mind is dirty, so everything you see is dirty. You, a devious scoundrel, are nothing but a lowly clown! I feel like Im wasting my breath even talking to you! Anyway, the evidence is clear. You cant ept it, can you? You hate me, dont you? Lets let the police teach you how to behave then! Officer Wu cleared his throat and stepped forward, Lin, youre suspected of deliberately fabricating and circting false information, defaming others, damaging their reputation, and the severity of your actions amount to cyber nder. Pleasee with us to the police station to assist with investigations. Cyber nder? Whats that? No! Terrified, Lin Qiao recoiled, III made a mistake, I really did. Youve realized your mistake now? Su Wanwans expression was icy, her words crisp, Its toote. No, I dont want to go to the police station. Lin Qiaos panicked gaze flickered over each face before finallynding on Jian Shuhao. She rushed over to him seeking help, Shuhao, Shuhao, please speak up for me. I didnt mean to, everything I did was because of you Shuhao, will you plea for me? Jian Shuhaos expression was nk, Lin Qiao, when you do wrong, you must face the consequences. I told you not to do this childish and lowly things yet you didnt listen. Shuhao, how could you do this to me? Lin Qiao screamed like someone who had lost her mind, her eyes brimming with resentment and envy, If it wasnt because you were always flirting with Su Wanwan, would I have done this? Jian Shuhaos face had a hint of embarrassment. Su Wanwan couldnt help but flinch. But no matter how hard you flirt, shes the wife of the Huo Family, she has a rich husband, did you really think shed care about you? Shes only using you, youre nothing but her backup n, backup! The impatient policemen finally stepped in and escorted Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan away. Lin Qiaos rants could still be heard till they were out of earshot, Jian Shuhao left the office, his face crimson with embarrassment. Ji Jie coughed awkwardly a few times. Su Wanwan was left speechless. This Lin Qiao! Even on her way down, she didnt miss a chance to smear the reputation of Su Wanwan. ** With the issue behind them, the happiest people were undoubtedly the reporters who had hit the jackpot. They thought they were here to cover a scandal about a university head viting rules, but they stumbled upon the heir of Nanchengs wealthiest family, the Huo family, instead! When Mr. Huo, the reserved millionaire, got married, the media reported on it. But because Mr. Huo kept such a low profile that time, Mrs. Huo, shielded in his arms, never showed her face! But things were different today, high-definition images of Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo canoodling in the office were captured clearly! If these photos are circted, their click and forwarding rates would be astronomical! Why would they be concerned about their job performance? The jubnt crowd bid their goodbyes, and just as they were about to depart from campus, they were overtaken by Ji Jie, Gentlemen, I apologize, but Mr. Huo stated that he doesnt wish to see any reports about Mrs. Huo tomorrow. Why is that? I had a great camera angle! We guarantee to present Mr. Huo at his best, ready for the limelight! Mrs. Huo is naturally beautiful, why cant we expose this! A talented man and beautiful woman, this is absolutely positive news that would help enhance Mr. Huos public image! Yes, exactly Ji Jie gave them a smile, Im sorry, but we invited you here today precisely to help clear Mrs. Huos name. Wait, youre the informant who leaked the news? a reporter seemingly grasped something. Ji Jie continued to smile, Theres no other way around it; our Mr. Huo just keeps such a low profile. Reporters, ** Meanwhile, once all the unrted spectators had departed. After closing the door, Su Wanwans first words were, Its over. The whole school will know Im a married woman now. Why so? Huo Jingshen peered at her, his expression disapproving, Still thinking about flirting with young boys? What flirting? Su Wanwan shot back, I have not! I didnt do anything okay! Was that Jiang Shuhao just now the ss monitor who gave you the dictionary? Huo Jingshen continues with a narrowed gaze. Uh I knew he was going to ask about this. What bad taste! Huo Jingshen let out a disdainful sneer, A pretty boypared to your perfect husband? A backup? Does he even qualify? Su Wanwan was taken aback, looking at his clearly sharp face, and suddenly wondered, Uh, you are you jealous? Huo Jingshen spoke arrogantly, At his age, I had already taken mypany public, was making a fortune, and hes still using his old mans money to pick up girls Su Wanwan quickly interrupted him, But hes the schools heartthrob! Heartthrob? Huo Jingshen scoffed again, I think hes more of a weed. Su Wanwan: She rolled her eyes. Forget it. She quickly changed the subject, By the way, when did you ask Ji Jie to investigate the posts and call the police? And those reporters, did you have Ji Jie arrange them beforehand? You even deliberately left me in the office with the door unlocked. Hes just like a cunning fox! Huo Jingshen pinched her soft cheek, Are you moved, baby? Su Wanwan: I was, but Cant he be a little less straightforward about it? All the ambiance is gone now. Huo Jingshen spoke softly, Your husband rushed back from London overnight for you and helped you solve everything. So, are you moved? Su Wanwan pursed her lips, then pursed them again, then suddenly looked up and gently brushed his cheek. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Is that all? After saying that, he slightly pursed his thin lips as a suggestive gesture. Su Wanwans face felt a little hot, so she leaned in and briefly brushed her lips against his attractive thin ones. Is this okay now? Who would have thought Dont you have anything to say to your husband? Huo Jingshen stared at her, obviously unsatisfied. Isnt showing my feelings through actions enough? Fine, but its not enough. Huo Jingshen shamelessly said, I want both actions and words. Su Wanwan was speechless, Arent you too greedy? Being greedy for someone you like is only natural. Su Wanwan: Is he trying to be romantic? I feel a little fluttery inside. He said the one he likes Say it. Su Wanwan reluctantly said, Thank you. Thanking who? Husband? Husband? Thank you, husband! Su Wanwan finally said it in one go. Huo Jingshen looked at her. The young girl was so easily embarrassed. Blushing at the mention of husband, her eyes were coy, and her mouth was slightly upturned because of herughter. Suddenly, he leaned in, Okay, now that the words are out, you can show your feelings through actions. Su Wanwan: He really is too greedy! ** The next morning, the school issued punishment notices for both Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan. Because Zhou Xiaohan showed a good attitude in admitting her mistake, the school issued a public criticism, added a major demerit to her record, and put her under observation. As for Lin Qiao, not only was she the mastermind behind the whole incident, but her attitude was also extremely bad. She refused to admit her mistake and was expelled by the school. In addition, because of her involvement in online defamation, she was temporarily detained.. Chapter 357: 357, is President Huo jealous? Chapter 357: is President Huo jealous? Trantor: 549690339 I As for how many days Lin Qiao would be detained specifically, Su Wanwan wasnt interested anymore, neither did she want to get involved any further. She was not a saint. Lin Qiao was the one who did wrong in this matter. Since he made a mistake, then it was only right for him to face up to it, there was nothing more to say. However Wanwan! As soon as she entered the ssroom, Zhao Qianqian grabbed her arm and shook it restlessly, I cant believe Mr. Huo is your husband! Oh my god, you are so good at concealing this! You even didnt tell me he is your husband! Su Wanwan: And you tricked me saying he was your uncle! How outrageous! Su Wanwan cleared her throat twice, Wasnt it you who said he was my uncle? Did I agree? I asked you if he was a rtive, and you admitted it yourself! Well, a husband is kind of a rtive, isnt it? Su Wanwan tilted her head, looking innocent. Damn, is there such a young and handsome uncle? Why didnt I see that clearly at that time? How could I have cooked up the notion that Mr. Huo was your uncle? Well, he is old enough to be an uncle. Su Wanwan replied. After all, he was 10 years older than her! Zhao Qianqian couldnt contain her gossip fiery curiosity, He is so much older than us, dont you have a generation gap with him? I felt his aura so powerful that I almost dared not to speak in the office yesterday. Tell me quickly, how do you get along with him daily? What do you guys usually talk about? How to get along? Besides making love what else could they do? As for what to talk about? Besides driving what else could they talk about? Su Wanwan declined to answer such a question, ss has begun. Come on, share with me, whats it like having a husband whos handsome and rich? Huh? Tell me quickly The teacher is here. You actually want to board at school without having to go home with such a handsome husband every day. Youre wasting resources! ss has started, its time to be quiet. Li Mochou sternly admonished, which finally rendered Zhao Qianqian speechless. At noon, Su Wenwen finally had lunch with Mo Weiyi, who hadnt been to school for several days. Hearing about the events of the past few days, Mo Weiyi blinked her pretty cat-like eyes, Youre saying that Mr. Huo came to school to rify the negative posts about you on the forum? And he brought along journalists and the police, setting up a trap, then, waiting for the prey to fall into it? Su Wenwen nodded nonchntly. But she felt inwardly delighted. She had to admit, as a husband, Huo Jingshen was indeed very manly, very macho, very responsible. Damn! Mo Weiyis curse brought Su Wenwen back to reality. What happened? Mo Weiyi pouted and whined, Xiaobai hasnt picked me up from school for a long time! Su Wenwen retorted, Thats because you havent been to school for a long time. How could he pick you up? Does he pick up the air? Mo Weiyi thought about it, Thats true. Su Wenwen: No way. Mo Weiyi suddenly picked up her phone, Today, I want Xiaobai to pick me up from school! Su Wenwen again: What a petnt little princess she was! The phone was soon connected, and a cold deep male voice came through, Weiyi. Xiaobai. Hearing this sweet and spoiled voice, Su Wanwan on the side couldnt help but shiver. But Mo Weiyi kept on cooing, Can youe to school to pick me up this afternoon? Whats wrong? Xiao Yebai asked. I just want you to pick me up! How long has it been since youst came to pick me up after school? There was silence on the line, then Xiao Yebai said, Im very busy today, and I have a social gathering tonight. Ill send a bodyguard to escort you home. Mo Weiyi grumbled, When are you not busy? I dont care, youre the one I want to pick me up. Cant you make it happen today? The social event tonight is important. Then Ill go with you to the social event. Mo Weiyi said Weiyi, dont make trouble. Then youe and pick me up. Xiao Yebai: Okay, thats settled. Ill have the bodyguard go home. Ill wait for you at the school gate at five oclock. After she finished, Mo Weiyi immediately hung up the call. Su Wanwan looked at her, Did he agree? Xiaobai has a social event tonight. Im going with him. After saying this, Mo Weiyi put her hands on her cheeks, Ive never attended a social event with Xiaobai before. I wonder whether itll be fun. Except for that time in Haicheng, but that was only a few sips of red wine before it ended. A social gathering? Can you even handle it? Su Wanwan started worrying about her friend. You cant drink, you cant talk, and you know nothing about business Mo Weiyi pulled a long face. Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh. Then Ill just go to be a vase. Mo Weiyi harrumphed with grace and elegance. Good luck. ** At five oclock in the evening, at the school gate, Su Wanwan took a taxi and left, while Mo Weiyi stood there waiting elegantly. Not far away was a ck Mercedes, and a bodyguard in ck was standing by the car. He was gruff and intimidatingly scanning the surroundings. As it begin to get dark, Mo Weiyi looked at her watch, frowned, was about to look for her phone to make a call, when a ck Bentley slowly drove over and stopped in front of her. Mo Weiyis eyes brightened and she went to open the car door excitedly. The bodyguard also quickly got into the car. Xiaobai, you are half an hourte! Mo Weiyi used. Xiao Yebai was frowning, Ill take you home. I have to go to a clubter. Ill go with you. Mo Weiyi immediately said.. Chapter 358: 358, President Xiao’s Fairy Wife Chapter 358: President Xiaos Fairy Wife Trantor: 549690339 Only then did Xiao Yebai realize she was serious. Ill go with you. Mo Weiyi was very serious. Im already twenty, and like Dad says, I should grow up. Perhaps from now on, I will apany you to all your business dinners. Xiao Yebai looked at her, an emotion quickly shing in his eyes. Really, I want to help you. Xiao Yebai diverted his gaze, and started the car. Xiaobai? Okay. Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief, Then do you think Im dressed appropriately today? Should I change into something more mature? No need. Mo Weiyi pouted, You didnt even look! Xiao Yebai kept his eyes forward, You are my wife. Whatever you wear is appropriate. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but smile. She loved it when Xiaobai made these romantically cold remarks! But She took out a small mirror and began carefully touch up her makeup. ** At seven oclock in the evening, they arrived at a luxurious private club. As Mo Weiyi got off the car with Xiao Yebai and entered the clubs front gate, they immediately drew several nces from the waitstaff. Xiao Yebai was a regr here. As the young and sessful CEO of the Mo Family, he always came alone without even an assistant. But today, he brought a young and beautiful girl. Some of the waitstaff recognized Mo Weiyi, while some did not, and discussions about her sprang up in hushed tones. Mo Weiyi had long been ustomed to this kind of attention. She did not feel awkward until she followed Xiao Yebai into a private room, and upon opening the door, the previously bustling atmosphere instantly fell silent. The majority of the people present were CEOs in their forties or fifties, so most of them recognized Mo Weiyi. Without exception, they each had a femalepanion, some of which were brought by them, while others were hostesses from the club. At these business socials, people would drink, chat, and flirt. The deals would be sealed just like that, but For the first time, someone was so unorthodox that he actually brought his wife! A CEO who had his arm around his femalepanion inquired in jest, President Xiao, howe youre in the mood to bring Mrs. Fairy to socialize today? Mo Weiyi, twenty years old, slender and delicate with bright eyes and beautiful eyebrows, paired with her ethereal and elegant dress, was highlighted as an ethereal beauty in this haze-filled venue. Xiao Yebai slightly curved his thin lips but did not reply. The others were ustomed to his indifference, but it was Mo Weiyi who raised the corner of her lips and replied with a sweet smile, Thank you. She giggled. It seemed that she had made Xiaobai proud today! She was only twenty years old and was already being praised as a fairy, which made her very happy. Moreover, she realized it gave a boost to Xiaobais prestige. Mo Weiyis smile widened making her kitty eyes turning into crescents, she was unbearably smug. Xiao Yebai gave her a quick look before shifting his gaze back. A savvy waiter came and attended to them, What would Mrs. Xiao like to drink? Mo Weiyi began to respond, Red Juice. A deep and cold voice beside her cut her off. What vor would you like? We have orange, apple, pineapple, kiwi Orange will do, Mo Weiyi decided this time. Alright, please wait for a moment. When the waiter left, Mo Weiyi leaned close to Xiao Yebai and began bickering in a low voice, I can drink, why did you order juice for me? Xiao Yebai replied, Well be discussing a caseter. And so? Mo Weiyi thought for a moment. Well be discussing a caseter, Xiaobai will drink, and if she gets drunk, who will take care of her? Okay then. Mo Weiyi told herself to behave. It was already a good start for Xiaobai to bring her to this business social. To often apany him in the future, she had to behave better. After the juice was brought, more men sessively arrived at the private room. Some were young; others were middle-aged. Without exception, they all had femalepanions with them. Xiao Yebai did not deliberately introduce Mo Weiyi and soon started discussing business with the others. Mo Weiyi sat there, at first being a very proper and elegantdy, gracefully sipping her juice. As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became increasing foul. There was a mix of smoke, alcohol, and various womens perfumes. The dim lighting was extravagant and licentious. Mo Weiyi had had enough, Xiaobai, I need to go to the restroom. Xiao Yebai put down his ying cards, Ill apany you. Theres no need, you carry on. Xiao Yebai was in the middle of a card game with three CEOs. To leave in the middle of the game wouldnt be appropriate. Have the bodyguard apany you, Xiao Yebai then said. Okay. Mo Weiyi got up and walked out of the private room with her purse. After the incident at the KTV, she didnt dare to wander around by herself. After calling her bodyguard, she obediently waited outside the door. Suddenly, the private rooms door opened again, and a young man in a pink suit walked out. Mo Weiyi had a slight impression of him, he seemed to be thest one to arrive; the others had referred to him as Master Qi.. Chapter 359: 359, Mrs. Xiao’s temper is not good Chapter 359: Mrs. Xiaos temper is not good Trantor: 549690339 Mo Weiyi had a slight impression of him, he seemed to be thest to arrive, and she heard others calling him Mr. Qi. As it was her first time attending a social engagement, Mo Weiyi had made sure to memorize everyones names. She smiled and nodded at him, Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi looked at her, suddenly smiling and leaning in close, the strong scent of alcohol permeating, Did youe with CEO Xiao today? Mo Weiyi nodded. Mr. Qis smile grew even more suggestive, How much? What? Mo Weiyi didnt understand at first. How much money do you get for spending a night with CEO Xiao? Mr. Qi asked, already reaching out to touch Mo Weiyis face. Mo Weiyi quickly dodged, her pretty face icy, she said sternly, Mr. Qi, behave yourself! She reminded herself that she was at a social event with Xiaobai for business purposes, so she couldnt cause trouble for him. To her surprise, Mr. Qi onlyughed more wildly, Oh, youve got quite a temper? Who doesnt know what kind of womene to this ce? What are you pretending for? You seem so innocent and well-behaved on the surface, but Im sure youre a wild one underneath. Xiao never brings women to these events, you must satisfy him quite well for him to bring you along right? This was his first time going to a social event with his father, and he didnt know Xiao Yebai very well. Furthermore, Mo Weiyi seldom attended these types of events with Xiao Yebai and he did not intentionally introduce her, so he assumed that Mo Weiyi was just another femalepanion. Earlier in the room, Mo Weiyi was dressed in a light and elegant fashion, contrasting starkly with the heavily made-up women around her, looking ethereal and pure. Now with no one around, he felt emboldened by alcohol and wanted to take advantage of her. Under the dim light of the corridor, Mr. Qi squinted his eyes tinted by alcohol and found Mo Weiyi even more beautiful up close. Her small face was as smooth as jade, wless as if she wore no makeup, with skin extraordinarily fine, with no visible pores. Her features were even more exquisite and vibrant, especially the captivating cat eyes, clear as crystal, staring at him straight, as if hooking his heart. With desire welling up, Mr. Qi once again leaned in, suggesting in a lewd tone, How about 1 million? Sleep with me for a night, if you satisfy me, I will keep you, let you be well-fed and dressed, every day p a resounding p smacked across his face. Mr. Qi, youre drunk. You dare to hit me? Mr. Qi, feeling his face, was furious. Just then the bodyguard came over and, seeing the situation, rushed over, Princess. Princess? Mr. Qiughed coldly, So, you are a princess of this establishment? No wonder you are so arrogant. Is 1 million not enough? How about 2 million? Mo Weiyi directed her order at the bodyguard, Mr. Qi is drunk, help him sober up. The bodyguard nodded, and as Mr. Qi stretched out his hand again, a fistnded squarely on him. The force was so great that Mr. Qi toppled backwards, colliding with a waiter serving wine. sses and bottles instantly shattered on the floor, causing amotion with women screaming and ducking for cover. Damn it! Mr. Qi touched his nose, only to find it bleeding. He sobered up instantly, cursing, You bitch, you dare to have people hit me? Such a foul mouth? Looks like youre still not sober yet. Mo Weiyis charming face was now cold and aloof, devoid of the previous sweetness and innocence. Go on. Upon Mo Weiyis order, the bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed Mr. Qi by the cor, andnded another hard fist on his face. Damn you Before he could finish cursing, another punchnded. One punch after the other. Each one eliciting a scream from Mr. Qi. At first, he was cursing and resisting. But eventually, he could only cry out in pain, unable to utter any more vulgarities. Thanks to the good soundproofing, themotion outside the private room was not heard, and the extravagant scene inside continued uninhibited. Not until the door was suddenly pushed open and a waiter cried out in panic, CEO Xiao, theres trouble! Xiao Yebai put down the cards in his hand, his tall figure quickly slipping out of the room. The others also hurriedly stood up and followed. Once they were in the corridor and saw Mr. Qi, bloodied and bruised, one of the older executives rushed over, Stop! Everyone, stop! Without Mo Weiyis order, the bodyguard wouldnt listen, and another punchnded on Mr. Qi, causing him to scream. Dad! Save me! Mr. Qi implored desperately, Come save me! Ah Dad Stop, if anything happens to my son, Ill have your life! Upon hearing Mr. Qis words, Xiao Yebai finally spoke up, Stop hitting him. The bodyguard ceased his movement and stepped to one side. Mr. Qis father hurriedly helped up his son. Seeing the pitiful state of Mr. Qis face, he quickly turned to Xiao Yebai, Mr. Xiao, I have no idea how my son offended your wife, to warrant such a hard hand! Mo Weiyi sneered, For that, you should ask your precious son. What did you do? Theres no way Mr. Qi would admit it, he whimpered and flinched in pain. So Mo Weiyi stated, Since your son dares not admit, Ill say it. He not only insulted me with his words but also tried to touch me. Thats why I asked the bodyguard to teach him a little lesson. Dad, dont listen to her nonsense! Mr. Qi cried out in desperation, It was her, she purposely tried to seduce me, even removing her clothes in front of me, all I did was Scoundrel! Mr. Qis father cut him off immediately, Shut your mouth! What an idiot! Anyone could tell, there is no way the young Miss Mo would try to seduce you! Are you on par with Pan An? Or is Xiao Yebai not handsome enough? Who would have known, Mr. Qi shouted again, Xiao Yebai is nothing more than a bastard nurtured by the Mo family, dad why are you so afraid of him? Mr. Qis fathers face changed dramatically, You are such a Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the sound of a crisp p. Mo Weiyi rushed over and under the stare of many eyes, she pped Mr. Qi across his face. Before the father and son could react, another pnded. Then, Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, condemning him word for word, Do you even know how despicable you are? What right do you have to speak ill of my husband? My husband is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you! Do you, a privileged young master, even know what excellent means? Youre nothing more than trash, garbage, a degenerate! Mrs. Xiao. Mr. Qis fathers face was full of displeasure. Regardless of how much of a troublemaker his son was, as his father, he could punish and scold him. But to be reprimanded by a twenty-year-old girl in front of so many people, how could he swallow this public humiliation? Mo Weiyi kept on scolding, Spewing shit out of your mouth, showing absolutely no upbringing! Hasnt your father ever taught you to think before you speak? Or perhaps with your brain-dead state, all you can do is abuse your dads filthy money to eat, drink, carouse, and gamble here! Mr. Qis face twisted with fury, he could no longer bear it and raised his hand, intending to strike her. However, his hand was caught mid-air by someone else. Xiao Yebai stood there, merely with one hand holding onto the mans wrist. His handsome and indifferent face bore no expression whatsoever. Behind his sses, a dark and ominous glint shed through his deep eyes. He then spoke calmly, Mr. Qi, youre a senior. Is it necessary to be petty with a twenty-year-old girl? You Mr. Qi was in so much pain that he couldnt speak. Xiao Yebai stood there motionless. Although he seemed to exert no effort, he was causing so much pain that Mr. Qi was drenched in cold sweat, his face turned from white to red, then to green, and slowly to purple His shirt around the neck area was quickly soaked with sweat. Everyone around them fell silent. The waiters had already called the manager and the security guard, but considering the people present, none dared to act rashly. All of them were prominent figures in Nancheng and nobody dared to offend them. After what felt like an eternity, Xiao Yebai finally released his hand. Mr. Qi almost fell onto the ground as he staggered backwards. He then heard Xiao Yebai speak again, I apologize, my wife has a bit of a temper. If she offended you in anyway, please be magnanimous, Mr. Qi. Xiaobai Mo Weiyis voice choked and her eyes filled with tears. She felt both aggrieved and concerned. Did he not realize that she was defending him? He even said that she had a bad temper. And asked Mr. Qi to be tolerant? Mr. Qi clenched his teeth and said grinningly, In that case, theres no need to carry on discussing the development project in the west city! After he finished speaking, he left the ce, dragging his son along in a humiliating manner. With the excitement over, the manager came to disperse the crowd, and the spectators also gradually left. Quietness was slowly restored in the corridor. Xiao Yebai stood there. His straight lips rxed and his expression resumed its usual calm demeanor. Xiaobai. Only then did Mo Weiyi start showing her concern. What was the development project that Mr. Qi mentioned when he was leaving? She asked cautiously, Did I affect the business? Xiao Yebai remained silent. I didnt mean to. Mo Weiyi lowered her head, feeling both anger and grievance. She sniffled and said aggrievedly, He was so rude when he first approached me, I couldnt stand it and ended up pping him. Then he said more offensive things, so I had my bodyguards beat him up. Besides, he also insulted you As she raised her hand to rub her nose, it was suddenly caught by another hand. Looking up, she saw Xiao Yebai holding her right hand, his gaze fixed on it. How many times did you p him? he asked. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, What? How many times have you pped him? Twooh, no, three. It seemed like three ps, right? She couldnt remember clearly as she was too furious then. Dirty. What? Mo Weiyi was still puzzled. After pping another mans face, your hand is dirty, Xiao Yebais tone was indifferent. Mo Weiyi immediately replied, I will wash itter. But Xiao Yebai took out a checker patterned handkerchief from his pocket and thoroughly wiped her hand. His movements were graceful, sincere, and meticulous, treating her hand like a precious piece of artwork. Mo Weiyi looked up at him. His neatly groomed eyebrows and handsome features were visible through his t sses, including every single one of his long curled eyshes. His skin was fair, fingers slender, and his overall demeanor was refined and elegant. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but get upset again. Why do people always have to speak ill of such a wonderful person like Xiaobai? Even when she was present today, they could still say such things about him, calling him a bastard. If she hadnt been here today, would the names have been even worse? The thought of Xiao Yebai being slurred with such wretched and offensive words made Mo Weiyi feel as though her heart was being sliced open with a knife. Without hesitation, she rose to her toes and kissed him on his lips. The soft lip touch, carrying a trace of coolness and affection, caused Xiao Yebai to pause his movements. He looked down at her. The young and pretty girl puckered up her red lips; her charming face was filled with the purest admiration, Xiaobai, dont listen to those scumbags, in my heart, you have and always will be the best man! A fleeting glint of emotion shed in Xiao Yebais eyes. Then, he drew his thin lips into a faint smile. Hmm, he responded with a nonchnt smirk. Im serious. Mo Weiyi looked at him earnestly, And I will protect you. If Mr. Qies to trouble you again, Ill personally speak to my father about it. About what? Xiao Yebai pocketed his handkerchief, his tone somewhat casual. About him trying to take advantage of me. The bodyguard can testify, or else, Mo Weiyi looked around and continued, There are also surveince cameras here which can prove it. Xiao Yebai held her hand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, Lets go home. Considering themotion and the fact that Mr. Qi had left, the business deal was naturally off the table, leaving no option but to go home. ** Chapter 360: 360, Weiyi: I will protect you. Chapter 360: Weiyi: I will protect you. Trantor: 549690339 As soon as he returned to the vi at Lishui Bay, Mo Yaoxiong called. Xiao Yebai picked up the cell phone, just took a look, and it was immediately snatched by Mo Weiyi. Dad! The line went still at the other end. Then, Mo Yaoxiongs voice came on, Let Yebai answer the call. But Mo Weiyi already started talking hurriedly, If youre asking about what happened at the club tonight, Ill tell you, Xiaobai had nothing to do with it. It was that bastard surnamed Qi who tried to molest me. I just had my bodyguard beat him up Who is this Qi? Mo Yaoxiong interrupted her. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, Huh? Weiyi! Mo Yaoxiongs voice immediately turned serious, Did you cause trouble again? Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue. She thought Mo Yaoxiong was asking about this incident, only to find out that he waspletely unaware. Had she just incriminated herself? She quickly handed the phone to Xiao Yebai and ran into the bathroom. Xiao Yebai picked up the phone, and could still hear Mo Yaoxiong scolding, All day long, if youre not causing trouble, youre interfering with Yebais work. When will you ever grow up? Weiyi? Are you listening to me Dad. Xiao Yebai spoke up. Mo Yaoxiong immediately asked, Werent you supposed to discuss a coboration on the construction project in the west city with Mr. Qi tonight? What happened? Xiao Yebai replied calmly, Nothing much, just a minor ident. Weiyi went with you? Mo Yaoxiong grumbled, Its not decent at all. Why did you take her there? Xiao Yebai didnt respond. Next time, dont take Weiyi to such asions! Understood. How bad is the injury? Mo Yaoxiong asked again. Nothing serious. What nonsense! I dont need to remind you of the importance of this project, do I? Mo Yaoxiong lectured, In the business world, wed rather have one more friend than one more enemy. Take care of it how you see fit, but we must secure this project. I know. Only when the voices outside subsided did Mo Weiyi cautiously peek her head out from behind the door. Xiaobai, what did dad say? Its fine. Mo Weiyi, relieved, walked over, hugged him and hid her face in his arms, confessing, I was wrong. I wont attend any more social events with you. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, just about to speak. Who knew I was this good-looking? A femme fatale, no matter where I go, men try to harass me. I think Id better stay home. Xiao Yebai, ** Just when she thought it was over, the next morning, when Xiao Yebai left for work and Mo Weiyi was still in bed, she received a call from Mo Yaoxiong. Weiyi,e to Nangong Hospital right now. What happened? Dad, are you sick? Mo Weiyi promptly got up. Room 2203. Mo Yaoxiong said and then hung up. Mo Weiyi frowned. Checking the time, it was only nine in the morning. She was supposed to have an elective ss at ten-thirty. It looked like she had to miss it again. Sighing, she thought, theres always something preventing her from studying hard, it was exasperating. Mo Weiyi got out of bed, washed up, and put on a dark green long skirt paired with a beige knitted sweater and a ck overcoat. She quickly went downstairs and asked the bodyguards to drive her. She did her makeup in the car, and by the time she was done, they had arrived at Nangong Hospital. It was early winter, and a dusty cold wind was howling. Mo Weiyi lowered her head and hurriedly ran into the hospital building. Arriving at Room 2203, she knocked and went in only to find Weiyi. Over by the hospital bed, Mo Yaoxiong frowned, Come and apologize to Mr. Qi. Mo Weiyi was stunned. She looked at the man lying on the bed. Was this the jerk fromst night? He was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown,ying there, his entire head wrapped in gauze, only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible. He had his eyes open, but there was no reaction as they spoke. Weiyi! Mo Yaoxiongs tone was stern. No need. The speaker was CEO Qi, who stood up from the couch with a heavy tone and grim expression. Ms. Mo is of a noble background. We dont need, nor can we take your apology. Chairman Mo of Mo Family, please leave. Brother Qi, Im sorry. My daughter has been spoiled since she was young, and her bad temper keeps growing. It truly is her fault that young master Qi is injured like this Dad! Mo Weiyi couldnt help interrupting him. Why are you apologizing for me? Why dont you ask why he got beaten up? How dare you keep stating that! Mo Yaoxiong stopped her. Do you know how seriously Qis son is injured? Mo Weiyi widened her cat-like eyes. How is that possible? The bodyguard only punched him a few timesst night, didnt he? At most, there would be some minor physical injuries. How could it be so serious? This is the doctors injury assessment report! CEO Qi angrily tossed a report on the table. My son has been diagnosed with a level three concussion and now he cant even recognize me! The doctors say he may permanently lose his memory and be useless! Chairman Mo, as I said before, dont apologize. Well meet directly in court! Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded. She immediately tried to exin, Dad, you can ask the people at the clubst night. Oh right, and there is also the surveince footage. All this can be used as evidence for us. Hmm. CEO Qi sneered. Then well wait for you to bring forth the evidence to court. For now, you can leave! ** As they left the ward, Mo Weiyi immediately said, This Qi is trying to scam us. Dad, dont fall for his trick. Mo Yaoxiong was very angry, Do you think thats his only motive? What else do they want to do? Mo Weiyi thought for a while. Dont they want to cooperate with us? Mo Yaoxiong was silent. He felt a headache. Workers from Li Family protested outside of Mos house every day. Now, Qi family was causing trouble as well. The matters on the business field were often tooplex to exin. Unless absolutely necessary, he didnt want to burn all bridges. Originally, he wanted Mo Weiyi to apologize politely, so they could discuss the matter. But it ended up even worse than expected. Dad, lets go to the club right now and find the surveince video fromst night. But Mo Yaoxiong remained silent. Dad Do you think I havent checked? Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke. The surveince footage from the club was deletedst night. Upon questioning, the only thing people admit is that your bodyguard assaulted someone. Everything else was unclear. I also consulted the doctor, who insisted on the concussion diagnosis. They have prepared thoroughly so that there will be no evidence against them. After all, yourepletely fine now, but his son is covered in wounds. So, what can we do about it? Mo Weiyi was frowning. You go back to the old house first. Mo Yaoxiong looked worried. Today is your grandmothers death anniversary. I havent been able to sleep well sincest night. Go back and keep himpany. I got it. Mo Weiyi could only leave for now. On the way to the old house of Mo family, Mo Weiyi was still thinking about the incident in the ward. She felt uneasy, so she drew out her phone to call Xiao Yebai. But just as the call connected, the car abruptly stopped. It was as if someone had mmed the brakes. The phone was thrown in the car. Mo Weiyi lifted her head, only to see arge patch of blood on the car window in front of her. Mo Weiyi screamed in fear, AhAhAhAhAh! The bodyguard quickly said, Princess, please dont get out of the car. Let me check what happened. Okay, Mo Weiyi was too shocked to react and nodded automatically. As she watched the blood dripping down from the car window, her face gradually turned pale. The biggest reason she never wanted to learn to drive was her phobia. She was terribly afraid of blood, which would confuse her whenever she saw it. All she could do was lower her head and listen as her bodyguard opened the car door and stepped out. Soon, a womans voice echoed, Someone has been hit and killed! Quick, call the police! Mo Weiyis face turned even paler. The car door was closed again, blocking out all the noise from outside. Mo Weiyi curled up in the backseat, her body slightly trembling. It wasnt until the ringtone started ying in the car, that she snapped back. It was the special ringtone she set for Xiao Yebai. Little white rabbit, white and bright, both ears stand up straight She bent down and picked up the phone from under the seat with difficulty. As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Yebais calm voice came through, Weiyi, whats wrong? She had screamed right after the call was connected earlier, then went silent. So Xiao Yebai had to call her back. Xiaobai, Mo Weiyis voice trembled, Im at the gate of the old house. It seemsit seems that someone has been hit and killed. What should I do, Xiaobai? Im scared. She didnt actually see what happened exactly. But seeing so much blood on the car window and hearing people yelling, she instinctively thought something terrible had happened.. Chapter 361: 361, Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift Chapter 361: Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift Trantor: 549690339 She hadnt even seen what exactly was going on, but with so much blood on the car window and cries of panic from the crowd, she assumed something terrible had happened. Dont be scared, you were just a passenger. Even if something has gone wrong, you wont be in trouble. Xiao Yebaiforted her, I am on my way, dont get out of the car. Lock the doors immediately. Ill call Butler Shi to bring some people over to handle things. Ok. Mo Weiyi felt slightly reassured by Xiao Yebais words. After hanging up the phone, she promptly locked the car doors, sitting and waiting in the car obediently. ** Outside of the car. Zhou Yn, clinging to the bodyguards leg, sobbed dramatically, A hit and run! Murder! Somebody call the police fast, get the cops here to arrest the killer! Somebody nearby promptly dialed 110, then shouted, The police are on their way! Everyone in the car, get out now! The bodyguard frowned tightly, I was driving the car. If there is any issue, I will take full responsibility. Just because you say you were driving, does it mean you really were? Any evidence? Zhou Yn yelled. She had been causing a ruckus here for several days but to no avail. Every time she tried to approach, she was thrown far away by the bodyguards, without even a glimpse of the Mo familys face. Left with no choice, she had to resort to dirty tactics. She had used the exact same trick when facing a house eviction, which resulted in her receiving an excessive evictionpensation. Anyway, what the rich care about most is their reputation, afraid of scandals. If they dont agree to let Feifei go, she will make this incident public and big, even to the point that the Mo family would be unable to get away with it! Thus, she began her dramatic wailing again, Oh my poor husband, you have lost so much blood! If you die, what will I do? Our daughter has already been ruined by the Mo family, and now you too are killed by the Mo family. How do you expect me to go on living?! The man lying on the ground with his face all covered in blood, eyes closed and moaning, seemed severely injured. Trying to free himself, the bodyguard was surrounded by several tough-looking men with iron bars in their hands and tattoos on their exposed arms. Caught up in their strong assault, the bodyguard was unable to break free. Zhou Yn nced at the tightly shut car door, and suddenly got up and ran over. As anticipated, through the car window, she saw Mo Weiyi sitting in the backseat. She started yelling immediately, You be the judge! I just wanted to bring my husband to the Mo family for some exnation. But they tried to kill both of us with a car! This is obviously guilt! Theyre trying to silence us! Can the rich oppress people like this? And now aftermitting manughter, they want to evade responsibility by letting a bodyguard take the me!? Someone suggested immediately, Drag the people in the car out! Drag them out! An eye for an eye, its only fair! Very soon some people charged towards the car and tried to open it, but found that it was locked from inside. Zhou Yn yelled vehemently, Smash the car windows! Drag the people inside out! Somebody walked over with arge iron rod and hit it hard against the car window. With a loud bang, the window remained intact but the noise nearly scared Mo Weiyi out of her wits. Why would scenes like those in movies happen to her? And right at her own doorstep? Why was she so unlucky recently? She seemed to run into every trouble! Mo Weiyi looked outside and noticed that the crowd was growingrger, each holding iron rods and smashing the car. Bang! Then another Bang! The car was shaking violently. The window got cracked and then finally the front window shattered. Hearing the sound of the ss shattering, Mo Weiyi was terrified and picked up her phone to call for help. Zhou Yn yelled excitedly, Quick, get her out! Some people rushed forward, reached in through the shattered window, smacked the phone out of her hand, and tried to pull at her arm. Mo Weiyi was on the verge of a breakdown. Who were all these people? Why hadnt Butler Shi arrived yet? She huddled back as far as she could, until a familiar voice shouted, Stop! Butler Shi appeared in a ck double-breasted butler outfit, followed by a group of bodyguards dressed in ck. At his order, the bodyguards pressed forward and finally managed to pull back the unruly mob. Zhou Yn was still shouting, Youve killed someone and you try to brush it aside? The police areing soon! You all will pay for it! Butler Shi looked at her sternly, Hes hurt and still not taken to the hospital, while you are busy calling the police. Is this man really your husband? Zhou Yns face went pale, and she hurriedly shouted, My husband was run over by you all. When the police arrive, I will make sure all of you go to prison! Is that so? Butler Shi stepped forward, then abruptly leaned over. He wiped a finger across the mans bloody face, then brought it to his nose for a sniff. Standing back up, he sneered, Lets wait for the police then. ** About ten minutester, local police finally arrived. Xiao Yebais car pulled up close behind. The tall and forbidding figure came straight to the ck Mercedes, opened the car door, and helped Mo Weiyi out. Mr. Xiao. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyes and nced casually at the man lying on the ground, Mr. Shi, Im going to take Weiyi home first, you handle this. Alright. Mo Weiyi got into the Bentley with Xiao Yebai. Her fingers were still icy cold as she fastened the seatbelt. Not until they drove into the Mo familys mansion did she timidly ask, Yebai, is everything really alright? Its fine. But that man was bleeding a lot, the car is covered in blood Thats chicken blood. Ah? Mo Weiyi was stunned, So did theye intending to stage an ident? You could say that. Mo Weiyi: ** They entered the old manor. The elder of the Mo family was sitting sternly on the Taishi Chair, obviously already aware of the incident at the front door. Why hasnt this matter been resolved yet? Xiao Yebais tone was calm and cool, It can be resolved now. Whats your n to resolve it? Xiao Yebai nced at Mo Weiyi. The old man of the Mo family immediately ordered, Weiyi, you go rest in your room first. Mo Weiyis mind was unsettled, so she nodded and left the hall immediately. Once she returned to the Southern Mansion and had a few sips of tea, she slowly calmed down. A quick sweep of her eyes was caught by an item on the dressing table. She immediately got up and walked over. It turned out to be a hairpin. Neither too big nor too small, the design was very simple. The body of the pin was made of white jade, shining brightly, with a white magnolia flower adorned on the head, refreshing and elegant. This was not her stuff. Mrs. Yang! Mrs. Yang, can youe here? Upon hearing her voice, the maid immediately rushed upstairs and entered the bedroom. Mo Weiyi held up the hairpin and asked her, Where did thise from? The maid looked at it, I found it on the bed in this bedroom while tidying up a few days ago. I thought it was the princesss belonging, so I put it on the dressing table. Do you think I would use something like this? Mo Weiyi raised her delicate eyebrows. The maid: This hairpin at first nce didnt seem to be anything valuable. Moreover, Mo Weiyis hair was too thick. She never liked to tie her hair, let alone use a hairpin to bun her hair unless a stylist was helping her with it. Mo Weiyis distinct cat eyes stared at her, her delicate fingers gradually clenching, Has anyone visited this vi recently? The maid quickly answered, Im the only one here cleaning each day. Youre sure no one else has been here to clean up? Absolutely not. Mo Weiyi: Princess. The maid cautiously started, Could it be a gift from Young Master Xiao? Gift? Mo Weiyi blinked her distinct cat eyes. A gift from Yebai? Yebai actually took the initiative to give her a gift? After the two puppies fromst time, now he is gifting a hairpin? Princess You can go now. Yes. After the maid left, Mo Weiyi sat there, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth from turning upwards. Even though she never uses hairpins, if it was gifted by Yebai After a thought, Mo Weiyi picked up the hairpin and began to do her hair in front of the mirror. ** So when Xiao Yebai returned to the upstairs bedroom, he saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table, her thick curls bundled into a bun. Mo Weiyi rarely bundled her hair; she always felt that her hair was too thick and that styling it was troublesome. She usually liked to leave her hair flowing loose. This hairstyle exposed her entire small, round face, making her look even more refreshing, cute, and girlish than her usual seductive and luxurious look. Yebai, does it look good? Mo Weiyi tilted her face, showing him. She had wanted to do a hair bun originally, but her hands were too clumsy. After struggling for a long time without sess, she wound up tying a bun and sticking the hairpin into it.. Chapter 362: 362, it’s just too fake Chapter 362: its just too fake Trantor: 549690339 | Initially, she wanted to style her hair into a bun, but her hands were simply too clumsy, failing even after much attempt. In the end, she could only tie it into a ponytail and insert a hairpin. Hmm. Xiao Yebai responded, I need to head back to the office first. You didnt even look! Mo Weiyi pouted unhappily, Also, its almost time for lunch, you can go after eating. I have a luncheon meeting. Speaking of the luncheon, Mo Weiyi thought of the matter regarding the Qi Family. Xiaobai, did your father speak to you about the Qi familys matter? Yes. How are you handling it? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. After all, this matter came about because of me. Mo Weiyi was very self-aware; had she been more patient yesterday, they might not have ended up in such a big mess. But if she truly had been patient then, then she wouldnt be Mo Weiyi anymore. Xiao Yebai nced at her, a calm expression on his handsome face, No need, Ill handle it at the hospital in the afternoon. Hearing his tone, Mo Weiyi felt relieved. From their first meeting until now, Xiaobai has been the man she trusted most. No matter how serious the situation, as long as Xiaobai was there, he would always have a perfect solution in the end. Mo Weiyi stood on tip-toes, a sweet smile spread across her face, Then, do you think She tilted her head, letting him once again notice the hairpin in her hair, Is it pretty? Pretty. Whats pretty? Mo Weiyi prompted. Xiao Yebai looked at her, a slight smile yed on his lips, You are pretty. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh, but softly pressed on, Beside me, what else? Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow: Mo Weiyi: After a standoff, Mo Weiyi finally gave up, I was asking you, do I look good with this hairpin? He really didnt understand courtship! Xiaobai was great in all aspects, except he was too dense when it came to matters between men and women! Mo Weiyi couldnt help butment in her mind. Meanwhile, as if just noticing the hairpin, Xiao Yebai reached out to touch it lightly with his slender, pale fingers. Mo Weiyi leaned against his broad chest, drawing circles on his dark shirt, her voicezy and teasing, How did you think of giving me a hairpin? Xiao Yebais voice was deep and indifferent, I gave this to you? This hairpin, didnt you give it to me? Mo Weiyi felt sweet inside, Seriously, why did you ce it in the old house? If I didnt find it, were you not nning to tell me? Xiao Yebai paused, then reached up to remove the hairpin. Instantly, Mo Weiyis thick curls fell loose, spreading over the two of them. Xiao Yebai held the hairpin in his elegant fingers, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his sses. Whats wrong? Mo Weiyi looked at him, puzzled. Nothing. Xiao Yebai slipped the hairpin into his trouser pocket, speaking calmly, Its just that this hairpin was ced in the wrong ce. Misced? Yes. Xiao Yebai gave a wry smile, Are you going to school this afternoon? I think I dont have any sses, why? Xiao Yebai said, I have some matters to handle. When Im done, Ille and pick you up at home. Alright. Mo Weiyi instantly agreed happily when Xiaobai took the initiative to pick her up. As Xiao Yebai turned to leave, he looked back at her, Dont mention the hairpin to anyone for now. Mo Weiyi was confused, but still nodded, Alright. Xiaobai must be embarrassed! Only after Xiao Yebai left did Mo Weiyi realize, why did he take the hairpin as well? ** Xiao Yebai left the vi and headed to an office building just behind the courtyard. He stayed there for about half an hour before driving away. While on the road, he received a call from Mo Yaoxiong. Yebai, has the Qi family sent you a legal notice? I havent arrived at the office yet. Mo Yaoxiong recounted the situation, then concluded, The Qi Family is in thend development business. If we want to work on the development project in the western city, we must cooperate with them. Weve already pretty much finalized the deal, we just need to sign the contract. But with this sudden incident, it seems they want to break the contract. Additionally, Ive heard that Huangyou are also in contact with them regarding this matter. Im aware. Do you have any good solutions? Mo Yaoxiong asked, Huangyou never dealt withnd development before but since Huo Yuan became the president, their coboration has enhanced and theirpetition with us has increasingly been on a simr level. Though the Chu Family has never been involved in the business sector, Chu Xiuhuang is an ambitious man and the Chu and Huo Families have always had a good private rtionship. Some things were best left unsaid. Xiao Yebais lips formed a thin smirk, Im going to the hospital this afternoon. ** After Xiao Yebai left, Mo Weiyi returned to the hall to talk to the old master, Mo. When Mo Weiyi was still a baby, the olddy, Mo, passed away. Despite having no memories of her grandmother, she always noticed that there was no one by the old masters side, implying that the couple mustve had great affection for each other. Today was his wifes death anniversary, and the old master was feeling low. After a brief chat, he said he wanted to rest and skipped lunch. After her afternoon nap, Mo Weiyi got out of bed, intending to go to the vi at the back to check on Rong Ans condition. Shes been in recuperation for over half a month now, and its unclear how shes doing. Just as she was passing the north vi, Qu Yunyaos voice sounded, Sister Yiyi. Mo Weiyi stood and looked at her. Qu Yunyao came out of the vi, wearing a white dress that reached the floor, lending her an air of artistry. It was a summer outfit, unsuitable for this chilly weather but she had thick fur coat over it. The mix was indeed bizarre! The always fashion-conscious Mo Weiyi could hardly ept it. Seeing Mo Weiyis gaze fixed on her, the smirk in Qu Yunyaos eyes deepened and she proudly dered, This coat was given to me by my boyfriend. I see, Mo Weiyi replied, raising her graceful, red lips. It seems you two are in a good rtionship. Qu Yunyao blushed and giggled, The weather changing so unpredictably and Ive not been feeling well, hes worried about my health, and so Mo Weiyi interrupted, Excuse me, I need to go as there is something else. She was tired of dealing with this cousin. Before, she had felt sorry for her being a poor, motherless girl. But after her melodramatic charadest time, and the feigned innocence and regret afterwards, she found her too fake. Wait, Sister Yiyi, wait. Qu Yunyao hastily caught up to her, reaching out to grasp her clothes. What now? Mo Weiyi was clearly exasperated. Qu Yunyao looked at her, puzzled. When she went to give away the paintingst time, she had left a hairpin on their bed. Just now, she saw both Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai entering the room; they ought to have noticed the hairpin by now, right? Why was there still no reaction? The Magnolia hairpin wasnt expensive and on one nce, it didnt match Mo Weiyis luxurious style at all. Didnt she suspect anything? Yunyao? Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, Any other matters? Qu Yunyao had no choice but to say, The weathers been getting colder, Sister Yiyi, take care of your health and dont fall ill likest time. Mo Weiyi gave her a helpless look, Then, she turned around and left. Watching Mo Weiyis aristocratic departure, Qu Yunyao clenched her fists with a bitter smile in her eyes, increasing with eachyer. Upon returning to her room, she received a call from Xu Rui, aggravating her mood. Yunyao, when are you going to tell Xiao Yebai that youre pregnant? Why are you in such a hurry? Im not even stable yet Its almost been two months. Xu Rui interrupted her, The pictures and chat logs are all ready, and its undeniable that he vited you. What are you afraid of? Qu Yunyao couldnt bring herself to respond. She was afraid of Xiao Yebai denying it all as its a fabricated usation. Thats why she could only take action against Mo Weiyi, wanting to instill doubts about Xiao Yebai in Mo Weiyis mind, nt seeds of distrust, so when the incident takes ce, they can be destroyed in one fell swoop. Who knew that Mo Weiyi would be as dull as a cow! She had given countless hints and suggestions, but Mo Weiyi still remained clueless. Was it because she believed Xiao Yebai too much? Believing that he wouldnt betray her? Qu Yunyao felt desperate in her heart, but also felt a kind of inefficacy. Yunyao? Are you even listening to me? I heard you. Qu Yunyao thought for a moment, They seldom return to the old house to stay, so its difficult to find an opportunity. I want Mo Weiyi to see me lying on Xiao Yebais bed in person, the shock of which would leave them speechless! Great, Ill send those pictures and chat logs to you, keep them safe. Ok. Soon, a message from Xu Rui arrived on WeChat.. Chapter 363: 363, The Wind-like Little Princess Chapter 363: The Wind-like Little Princess Trantor: 549690339 Soon, Xu Ruis WeChat message came in. There were several pictures of Qu Yunyao taking selfies in the hotel room, with only one picture of her with a man, although only half of the mans face was shown, it was hard to tell who he was at first nce. However,bined with the suggestive chat screenshots with Xiao Yebai from WeChat and text messages, the evidence was quite convincing. Qu Yunyao saved all the information and began to n carefully. ** RongAn! On this side, Mo Weiyi came to the backyard vi and entered after a knock on the door. The in-room doctor was stunned. It was Rong An who quickly pulled a nket over himself. Rong An! Mo Weiyi walked in, her bright cat eyes blinked, Arent you applying medicine? Why are you under a nket? The doctor looked at her speechlessly, Princess, this is a mans room. So what if its a mans room? Ive seen Rong Ans body before. What? The doctor had a shocked look on his face. Rong An coughed softly, Princess, Im not wearing trousers. Mo Weiyi still seemed unconcerned, So what, Ive seen mens butts before. Anyway, Xiaobais is better-looking. RongAn: The doctor: Mo Weiyi found a chair to sit down, propped her chin with both hands,ughing gleefully, You guys continue applying the medicine. The doctor said awkwardly, Princess, can you please step aside first? Hes just sitting there watching Rong An apply medicine to his bare butt? As the doctor applying medicine, he was having trouble epting it. Fine! Mo Weiyi seemed helpless, and could only walk outside, But hurry up, I have something to say to Rong An. Okay. After Mo Weiyi left, she closed the door behind her. She stood in the corridor where it was quiet, but then heard a groan from Rong An from inside the room. And then the gentle instruction from the doctor, This whip wound is not light, bear with it, we predict it will need another half a month to heal Then, another Hmm. Somehow, Mo Weiyi thought of those BLics she had read in the past, in which the seme was doing something to the uke. Rong An seemed the uke, and the doctor was the seme. Oh gosh, what a beautiful picture! Mo Weiyi, trying to hold back herughter, dialed Su Wanwans number on her phone. Initially, she wanted to share these suggestive sounds with her best friend. However, Su Wanwan directly asked her, Why didnt youe to school again today? Mo Weiyi could only tell her about what had happened at the club yesterday. She ended upmenting, Wanwan, why am I so unlucky? Its even involving thepany now. Do you need my help? How can you help? I know the deputy dean of Nangong Hospital. He helped solve the problem when Su Yanyan framed me with a fake pregnancy. This should be simr. Cant he just check on that doctor and clear up everything? Thats right. Mo Weiyis eyes brightened, Then you should apany me to the hospital this afternoon and get this resolved. Okay. Su Wanwan agreed. Mo Weiyi was very happy. This incident was originally caused by her. If she could help resolve it in advance, that would be the best, and it would also save Xiaobai some worries. So, after the doctor finished applying the medicine, Mo Weiyi went in and said, Rong An, you better recover well. I have to get going, I have something to do in the afternoon. After saying that, she turned around and left. RongAn: The doctor: She came and went like the wind. Such ady of the wind, the little Princess. ** Hospital. In the ward, Qi Yi threw his spoon onto the floor and spat out a few times, swearing, Damn it, this tastes awful! Dad, cant you buy me something edible? After being taken to the hospitalst night, hes had to suffer through these so-called nutritious hospital meals. The rice porridge was so thin that it reflected his image; the pickles were wilted, and the steamed bun was dry and tasteless. How can a man ustomed to feasting bear such food? Qi Linwang picked up the spoon, Behave yourself! How much longer do I have to lie in a hospital! I cant go anywhere, cant eat anything, its killing me! Qi Yiined. Its all for your own good, Qi Linwang said in frustration, Who did you have to provoke? Why did it have to be Mo Weiyi? Do you know what the Mo Family used to do? Im not afraid no matter what they did! The more Qi Yi thought about it, the angrier he became, Isnt that Xiao boy just the Mo family dog? If it werent for him catching the eye of that bitch and bing the president of the Mo Family, what rights does he have? Just a pretty face living off a woman! What, getting arrogant now? And that bitch, she beat me up, even pped me in front of so many people! I wont be done with her unless she kneels down and apologises to me! he swore. Thats why you need to be patient now. I had thewyers letter sent to Xiao Yebai at noon; he will definitelye see us this afternoon. Then, we can negotiate terms with him, we can ask the Mo family to do anything. Qi Linwang schemed optimistically. A sly smile formed on Qi Yis face, When the timees, I wont let him live! Knock, knock, knock. The door to the room was suddenly rapped upon. Qi Yis face changed drastically, he hurriedly wiped his mouth,id back in bed, and continued to feign paralysis. Only after tidying up the room, did Qi Linwang walk over to open the door. When he saw that the woman standing at the door was Mo Weiyi, Qi Linwang stiffened, Miss Mo, what are you doing here again? Mo Weiyi looked at him, sneered, and strided into the ward wearing high heels. She stood by the bed, gazing at the faking Qi Yi, and said slowly, Who knew your son was this delicate? He got brain concussed from a few punches and even lost his memory. Did he be an idiot now? ying-dumb Qi Yi: Damn it. He was so angry! But he could only roll his eyes, careful not to expose too much emotion. With a calm face, Qi Linwang said, Miss Mo, Ive already sent a legal letter to your husband. Before the court hearing, 1 dont want to talk any nonsense with you! Also, do not be too much! Mo Weiyiughed coldly, not caring to mince words anymore, Wanwan, when will the vice dean arrive? Vice Dean? Qi Linwang frowned. Su Wanwan continued to hurry things along with her phone. She had already made more than ten calls, why was Nangong Ci taking forever? The ringing suddenly emanated from the hallway outside. Im here. Nangong Cis handsome face broke out in light sweat. What the hell. He wasnt on duty today and was enjoying a nap at home when he was woken up by his sister-inws call. There was no choice, when his sister-inw asked him to do something and if he didnt do it, his brother would kill him. He couldnt get back to sleep now, so he came immediately to the hospital to handle the matter. Fearing that his sister-inw would be bullied in front of the man, he had jogged all the way here. Upon arrival in the ward, Nangong Ci coughed twice and returned to his usual urbane and graceful demeanor. Before long, a secretary walked in with a doctor. At the sight of the doctor, Qi Linwangs heart dropped. On the bed, Qi Yi became restless but he still refrained from moving. Vice Dean. Mo Weiyi walked over and gave him a charming smile, May I ask, is this Dr. Liu, Qi Yis main doctor? Dr. Liu lowered his head, not daring to speak. Nangong Ci squinted his eyes and gestured. The secretary immediately handed over a document. Nangong Ci took the document, opened it, and began to read aloud, Qi Yi, male, twenty-four years old. Head and facial injuries. Serious swelling of the forehead. Severe internal bleeding in the head. Diagnosis confirmed as a level three concussion. Ah, a level three concussion? Finished, he threw the document into Dr. Lius face. He was grumpy from being woken up and used this to vent. He put in too much force, and the sharp corner of the file scraped across Dr. Lius face, leaving a bleeding cut. Dr. Liu flinched in pain but didnt dare to retaliate. After the incident with Dr. Zhou, didnt I issue a notice? From then on, no doctor is allowed to falsify any more! But look at you! Nangong Ci nodded and extended his hand again. Thus, the secretary handed over another document. Nangong Ci took it, didnt even look, and threw it straight at Dr. Lius face again, Last night at eleven oclock, the few hundred thousand yuan transferred from your sry ount, who gave it to you, point him out to me! Qi Linwang: Dr. Liu lifted his head, then raised his hand shakily to point at Qi Linwang. Pfft. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and triumphant, So, Mr. Qi, you bribed Dr. Liu with money and fabricated a fake injury report, intending to swindle the Mo family, right? You sure have grand ns! But too bad, man proposes, God disposes.. What else do you have to say now? Chapter 364: 364, everyone is a businessman Chapter 364: everyone is a businessman Pfft. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh, his delicate brows arching in a victorious grin, So, Qi, you bribed Dr. Liu and even faked an injury report in order to defame our Mo family? Youre quite the dreamer. Unfortunately, your ns cant match the will of heaven. What else do you have to say? Qi Linwang stayed silent, his face stern. He knew such matters couldnt be hidden for long. However, he had almost finalized the deal for that piece ofnd with the Mo Family, only awaiting final contract signing and the payment of the bnce. If he revoked the agreement due tost nights club incident, as the purchaser, the Qi Family would have to pay a considerable amount in breach of contract penalties. Just two days ago, Huangyou Investment approached them for a coboration on the same property, offering a price twice that of the Mo Family. Thats why he resorted to this tactic. He could exert pressure on the Mo Family with this, making them pay the price for their assault and humiliation of Qi Yi! On the other hand, he could establish a partnership with Huangyou Investment to reap higher profits. Totally killing two birds with one stone! He also knew that the Mo Familys image had greatly improved over the past few years since the old man withdrew from the underworld. Since Xiao Yebai took charge, he downsized staff, restructured internally, and the Mo Family now only conducted legitimate business, without partaking in the underworld dealings. So, he decided to exploit this matter, leaving the Mo Family in a tough spot. But he never expected Mo Weiyi to directly expose him with the deputy head of the hospital. Mo Weiyi then turned to a certain person on the hospital bed, pretending to be sick, Mister Qi, have you not feigned death long enough yet? Why, still unwilling to get up? Finally unable to take it, Qi Yi, like a mummy, sprung up. This scared both Su Wanwan and Nangong Ci. Then, they saw Qi Yi with his head all bandaged, cursing vociferously, Fucking bitch! So what if I have no concussion? The fact remains that you hurt mest night! Everyone in the club can testify for me! What, you still expect our Qi Family to continue cooperating with your Mo Family? No way! Mo Weiyi clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed with rage, Scum like you, our Mo family wouldnt stoop low to coborate with! Miss Mo! Qi Linwangs face contorted with rage, Remember you said that. Yeah, so what if I did? Our Mo Family refuses to partner with you, to save ourselves from getting our hands dirty! Disgraceful! In that case, lets sit down and talk about the breach of contract. Breach of contract? What do you mean? Qi Linwang smirked triumphantly, The previous deal was all but done, we signed an agreement then. If either party backs out, they will face ten times the penalty. Ten times? Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Though she didnt understand business, but The Mo familys current partnership deals started from at least tens of millions, ten times the amount, then? She suddenly realised, had she again done something wrong? It was no wonder that despite knowing the Qi familys trap, Mo Yaoxiong did not want to pick a fight. Ahall was lost. Su Wanwan also sensed that something was amiss, rushing to whisper, Weiyi, stop talking now, let your husband handle this. Mo Weiyi quickly nodded in agreement. Qi Linwang sneered, Miss Mo, are you scared now? Mo Weiyi remained silent. Qi Yi then started ranting, Bitch, you injured me like this, if you dont kneel and apologise, I swear Ill not let you off! Mo Weiyi continued to be silent, only staring at him furiously. Qi Yi grew more brazen. What? Still not convinced? Dont think it ends here, you bitch. Ive said my piece. If you dont kneel and apologize to me, Ill see you in court! You Mo Weiyi was so angry his teeth itched. Shameless! Nangong Cis expression darkened further. Mr. Qi, this is a hospital. If you continue yelling, Ill have you thrown out immediately! Im the patient and you are the doctor. Dare to drive me out, huh? You believe me or not, I can summon reporters here and put Nangong Hospital in the headlines! Qi Yi showed his unprincipled nature on the spot. Su Wanwan felt a headache developing. She couldnt believe that the so-called high society was also filled with such shameless barbarity. Xiaowu, escort him out and call security. Nangong Ci ordered decisively. Dr. Liu hurriedly began pleading, Dean, I was wrong! I was just confused for a moment! He forced the money on me, I wasnt aware of it! Dean, please give me another chance. I promise next time And you think there is going to be a next time? Nangong Ci found his anger rising again. He lifted his leg and kicked Dr. Liu hard on his backside. Get packing and get out! The secretarys head was spinning as he dragged Dr. Liu out with him. The vice-dean normally was good-tempered. Why was he being so vtile today? Its as if hed eaten a round of bullets The door opened, revealing a man standing outside. It was Xiao Yebai. He was dressed in a dark shirt and ck pants. Over his dark woolen sweater, he wore a tailored ck suit. His high-bridged nose supported a pair of in sses. With fair skin and handsome features, he looked refined and elegant. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi rushed over, looking upset and pulling at his arm. Youre here. Xiao Yebai furrowed his brows. Behind his sses, a pair of sharp eyes darted over the people in the hospital room. A flicker of cold light in them vanished in an instant. Mo Weiyi nervously began to exin in a low voice, They had a doctor produce a fake injury report, so I found the vice-dean of this hospital. But Xiaobai, theyre saying they want to breach the contract. What should we do? I understand. Xiao Yebai turned to Su Wanwan, his voice calm and low. Miss Su, could you please take Weiyi outside? Su Wanwan hurried forward. Weiyi, lets go outside and wait. Now, she finally understood: it was best not to get involved with business affairs. Or else it would only lead to more trouble. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to leave with Su Wanwan. ** As soon as the door closed, Qi Linwang sneered, Mr. Xiao, if youvee to discuss the matter of the West City plot ofnd, you may leave now! If youre here to apologize forst nights incident, let me tell you, unless Mrs. Xiao kneels and admits her mistakes Ive just sent a video to Mr. Qi. Wouldnt Mr. Qi like to watch it? Xiao Yebai interrupted him dispassionately. Qi Linwang furrowed his brows. At a time like this, what was he supposed to watch in a video? The protagonist of the video With thin lips curving into a cold smile, Xiao Yebai spoke leisurely. Hes your respected son. At the mention of this, Qi Linwang immediately reached for his phone and clicked on the video. Immediately, a bizarre moaning sound could be heard. Oh Qi youre so good Qi Oh Ah Aroused cries from two women made Qi Linwangs eyes widen in shock. His face reddened into the color of a pigs liver as he scrambled to stop the video. A look of surprise and fear also shed in Qi Yis eyes. Before he could react, Qi Linwang had already rushed over and pped him across the face. Bastard! When did this happen! Touching his bandaged face, Qi Yi stalled as he tried to exin, No Dad, its that Xiao son of a bitch framing me. The man in the video isnt me You think Im blind? Cant recognize my own son? Veins bulged on Qi Linwangs forehead in rage. He had pampered his only precious son since he was a child. Now the boy was twenty-four, two years out of university, but he still only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry,pletely neglecting his responsibilities. It was a rare urrence for him to start getting involved inpany affairs, yet someone managed to take a private video of him, and he just had to be with two women? The most humiliating part was that Xiao Yebai was now using this video to ckmail him. Xiao Yebai looked indifferent, his tone just as calm, I get it. Were all businessmen here. Huangyou has extended an olive branch to give you a little more profit, so its hard to resist. However, is it worth letting your own sons scandal make the news for just a little bit of gain? I wonder how Qi Yi will feel about his father then? The color drained from Qi Linwangs face bit by bit. If this video were to be leaked to the media No way! Qi Linwang stepped forward, forcing a smile onto his face, Mr. Xiao, can we negotiate this? He had heard rumors that the son-inw of the Mo Family was quite good at doing business. But he would never believe that Xiao Yebai could find such a highly concealed video in less than half a day. Perhaps from the moment he nned to coborate with the Mo Family, Xiao Yebai had started collecting all this damaging information in private? Cunning! Prepared for everything! Brutal! Too brutal! He thought he had all bases covered to ckmail the Mo Family, only to realize that his own secrets had already been exposed. Xiao Yebai casually handed over another document, Mr. Qi, please take a look at this one. With trembling hands, Qi Linwang took the document. His face, which had been fairly red before, turned pale in an instant. It was a record of his bribery to the head of the Land Bureau. Every transaction was clearly recorded. The payer, the payee, the date of receipt Everything was perfectly clear. The incident of assaulting Qi Yi was indeed an impulsive act by my wife. Mr. Qi, rest assured, all the medical expenses and hospitalization fees will be fully covered by the Mo Family, said Xiao Yebai calmly again. Right after that, he handed over a second document, This is the contract you didnt have time to signst night. Qi Yi couldnt hold back anymore and rushed over, Dad! Dont sign the contract with them Bastard! Qi Linwang was furious, and he pped his son again, Just shut your mouth! Qi Yi was tremendously frustrated, but with no countermeasures, he could only watch as Qi Linwang picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract. ** In the corridor. Su Wanwan checked the time, Weiyi, I need to go to school, otherwise Ill bete. Mo Weiyi, Okay, you go ahead. Nangong Ci immediately chimed in, Little sister-inw, let me take you. You? Su Wanwan looked at him, Didnt you just say you were going back to take a nap? Ill drop you off on the way. He had to be super helpful to his little sister-inw! Then he could take the credit from his older brother! So thought Nangong Ci. Alright then. Time was indeed running out, and taking a taxi or the bus might cause her to bete. Su Wanwan didnt want to bete, and so she had no choice but to leave with Nangong Ci. Then she saw that gaudy red sports car. Su Wanwan recalled how she ran into Huo Jingshen at the airport because of that car. Back then it was Ah-hem. A bit awkward. Getting into the car, Nangong Ci let out a loud whistle, Lets go! The sports car roared out, speeding like lightning and drawing the attention of all the bystanders. It was unapologetically shy. Su Wanwan was speechless. Fabulous. You really are the most mboyant doctor I have ever met! ** Freaking hell! Nangong Cis eyes widened instantly and he started furiously typing, [No, I didnt, stop talking nonsense!] Three denials straight out of the gate. Lu Chenyu: [Student sister?] Nangong Ci: [Lu Xiaosi, did you take the wrong medication today? Why are you so talkative?] But its toote, he saw a dark icon suddenly appear in the WeChat group, and then Huo Jingshen: [?] Nangong Ci hurriedly exined, [Big brother, your wife came to the hospital to ask for my help today. I kindly drove her to school. Please dont misunderstand!] Huo Jingshen: [My wife needs you to drive her to school?] Ming Jing: [Can big brother no longer drive? Or is big brother unable to carry his forty-meter long sword?] Nangong Ci could only admit his mistake: [Big brother, I was wrong. Would a red packet as an apology do?] Damn, he originally wanted to take credit, but ended up having to pay an apology of two hundred. Thought that was the end? Lu Chenyu: [Your red packet is too small,cks sincerity.] Nangong Ci was angry, [Chenyu, can you shut your mouth?!] Lu Chenyu: [Angry enough to die of shame?] Nangong Ci: [Ill bite you to death!] Lu Chenyu: [Threatening words?] Nangong Ci: [] Impossible to argue with a topwyer! Irritating! Angry! Want to scratch someone! Chapter 365: 365, the first time I see such flamboyant displays of homosexuality Chapter 365: the first time I see such mboyant disys of homosexuality Suddenly. Nangong Ci smugly typed out a line: [I read a BL fanfiction about Lu Xiaosi and second brother on Weibo today. It1 s shockingly explicit and outrageous. Does anyone want to take a look?] Lu Chenyu: [Ive shared it. Remember to like it.] He even added his own Weibo address. Nangong Ci: [] Damn it! The guys invincible! First time seeing such a high-profile gay, and he even shared it himself on Weibo. Totally shameless! * Finally at the school, Su Wanwan hustled to get out of the car, Thanks, Im off to ss now. Sister-inw. Nangong Ci grinningly called her back, Remember to put in a good word for me when big brother asks youter. Okay. As soon as Su Wanwan got out of the car, Nangong Ci took out his phone, snapped a photo of her retreating figure, and swiftly posted it in the WJY WeChat group. Who would have guessed? Lu Chenyu: [Girlfriend?] Meanwhile, about half an hour after Su Wanwan and Nangong Ci left, the hospital room door finally opened. Mo Weiyi quickly walked over. He saw Xiao Yebaie out first, closely followed by Qi Linwang. Mr. Xiao. Qi Linwang followed changed pace, almost groveling as he cated, That document, and those videos, could you please destroy them first? Xiao Yebai opened his thin lips indifferently, Mr. Qi can rest assured, business is about trust. As long as our cooperation goes smoothly, the things you re worrying about will not happen. Even so, how could Qi Linwang not worry? It felt like his life was being held in someones hand. With a little squeeze, he could vanish into thin air. Mr. Xiao, weve signed everything, why do you insist Mr. Qi, instead of worrying about things that wont happen, worry more about your son. If he continues like this, he will ruin your entire Qi family sooner orter. Having said this, Xiao Yebai left with Mo Weiyi. Qi Linwang: * Once in the elevator, Mo Weiyi asked, Xiaobai, what was Mr. Qi talking about? Those videos, documentswhat do they mean? Nothing. Xiao Yebai narrowed his dark eyes, his handsome face devoid of emotion. Qi Yi has quite a reputation as a yer in the circle. Hes young, rich, and generous with women. But if he ys too hard, he will inevitably gain a bad reputation. Such dark material isnt hard to find with a bit of digging. However Unless its absolutely necessary, he wouldnt resort to this method. Downstairs, Xiao Yebai told the bodyguard, Take the princess back to the old house first. Mo Weiyi was puzzled, Why do we have to go back to the old house? Wouldnt it be better to go directly back to Lishui Bay? She really didnt want to keep running into that little bitch Qu Yunyao. Xiao Yebai said, I have something to take care of. Ill pick you up tonight. Alright then. Although it all seemed a bit odd, since Xiaobai had said it that way and promised to pick her up in personter, Mo Weiyi didnt think too much of it. So, two cars left the hospital one after another and then parted ways. * * As soon as Mo Weiyi returned to the old house, she stayed in the vi watching dramas until the maid called her for dinner. Arriving in the dining room, she found that Xiao Yebai was already back. This was a rare urrence. Usually hes either workingte or has a dinner engagement, so he rarely makes the effort toe back for dinner. Seeing this, Mo Weiyi was so happy that she didnt even mind the sight of certain individuals present. As for Mo Yaoxiong, having resolved the troubles of both the Li family and the Qi family in a day and sessfully signed a contract, he directly opened a bottle of white wine to celebrate. However Master Mos health was not good, Xu Jing couldnt drink, and Qu Yunyao refused on the grounds that she had to revise the scriptter. Mo Weiyi wanted to drink, but was stopped by Xiao Yebai. So only Mo Yaoxiong and Xiao Yebai were left to toast each other. Near the end of dinner, Uncle Shi suddenly came in, Master Xiao, Doctor Pu has arrived. Master Mo immediately frowned, Weiyi, are you feeling unwell? Since Weiyi goes to school on weekdays, I had Dr. Pue over tonight. Xiao Yebai finished speaking and looked at Mo Weiyi, After dinner, go to the back guest room and let Dr. Pu give you a check-up. Since Mo Weiyi suspected she was pregnant and her period was inexplicably dyed by more than a week, in the past two months, indeed, she had been somewhat unstable each time. So, she put down her chopsticks immediately, m full, I will go to the guest room first. Hmm. After Mo Weiyi left, Mo Yaoxiong exined, Dr. Pu has always been a living advertisement for Nancheng Hospital. She is best at nourishing women s bodies. Over the years, Weiyis health has been her responsibility. Xu Jing nodded. Qu Yunyao couldnt help but look at Xiao Yebai again. Because they were indoors, he had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a dark shirt and a simrly dark-colored woolen vest. His slim and straight figure, his sharp and cold facial features, and his look with sses under the light all made him exceptionally gentle and jade-like. He was holding a white porcin cup. His fair and jade-like face was slightly red from the wine, and his long, slim fingers almost blended with the color of the teacup. Such a clean and refined man made it very difficult for her to imagine what he would look like when he was out of control Suddenly, a wave of nausea rushed up from her throat. Qu Yunyao hurriedly stood up and rushed out, covering her mouth. What happened? Master Mo frowned. Xu Jing hurriedly exined, Her stomach has not been good recently, its nothing. Xiao Yebais low, indifferent voice suddenly sounded, Just right, let Dr. Pu check on her too. Mo Yaoxiong was stunned. Xiao Yebai was always indifferent to everyone, even to Mo Weiyi, he always showed a cold demeanor, not warmth. Now, he actually initiated such a conversation? Xu Jing also felt surprised, and hurriedly said, No need, Yunyao just has a bad stomach, theres no need to bother Dr. Pu. Xiao Yebai did not speak again but just took another sip from his cup casually. As expected, Mo Yaoxiong immediately said, Since Dr. Pu just happened to be here, lets have her check it out. She is one of the top famed doctors in Nancheng. There arent many women in our family, you can also let her check on youter. Since Mo Yaoxiong had spoken, Xu Jing could only shyly agree, Alright then. At this moment, Xiao Yebai stood up, I need to answer a call. * * Qu Yunyao vomited till she felt lightheaded in the bathroom. Recently, she had drastically reduced her food intake in fear of revealing her secret. She also tried to eat in her room as much as possible. If it hadnt been for Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyiing over tonight, she wouldnt have gone to the dining room to eat with them. She had tried to eat as little as possible just now for fear of a sudden reaction, but she didnt expect the reaction to be so strong. After rinsing her mouth, Qu Yunyao looked in the mirror and pped her face hard to bring some color back to it. She tidied up her appearance to make sure nothing was wrong, then she opened the door and left. Who would have thought that as soon as she walked out of the restroom, she would find Xiao Yebai standing in the corridor outside. The window was opened, and he was standing there, not wearing sses, with a cigarette in his thin lips. His side-profile was handsome and chiseled, and his hands were tucked into his trouser pockets. A night breeze blew past, bringing a faint smell of tobo. When Xiao Yebai heard the sound, he turned to look at her. Because of the drink he had had, there was an obvious flush on his fair face. His eyes were also slightly reddened. As he looked at her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to exude a blurred color of spring. This made Qu Yunyao involuntarily think of a term that only appeared in novels Alluring male beauty. After a moment of surprise, her heart was already fluttering. Under his unblinking gaze, she was attracted to him like a moth to a me. She walked over and asked softly, Brother-inw, what a coincidence. Xiao Yebai didnt say a word, he just looked at her. The two were standing very close. He was tall. Qu Yunyao had to strive to lift her head to see his handsome profile. Then, she noticed that his gaze was slightly different from the past. Xiao Yebai was blessed with naturally gorgeous features that easily ensnared womens hearts. His eyes, in particr, were beautiful like peach blossoms. His eyes were slender, with slightly upturned ends. Such eyes easily conveyed deep emotions when looking at someone. However, whenever she made eye contact with him before, she would always feel that his eyes were too cold, like they were concealing a frozen chill. The slight gaze would put a lot of pressure on her. Today, perhaps due to the alcohol, he seemed to exude a hint of a carefree and unbounded aura. His eyes resembled two deep pools, and as he stared at her unwaveringly, they were watery and reddened with a tint of intoxication. Drowsy, yet bewitchingly charming. Chapter 366: 366, did Xiaobai get drunk? Chapter 366: did Xiaobai get drunk? She didnt know if it was the alcohol she had consumed, but she exuded an air of indulgence and unruliness today. His eyes were like two deep pools, looking at her straight and unblinking, shimmering with a hint of drunkenness. They were red and tantalizing, seemingly drunk, yet not, dreamy and flirtatious She couldnt help but be drawn in, as if he was pulling her towards him. She knew that men reveal their true selves when drunk. No wonder people say drinking can lead to cmities. Qu Yunyao felt an illusion as though something was pulling at her heart, giving her courage and impetus. Taking another step forward, she could smell the strong and distinct masculine scenting from him. Brother-inw, Qu Yunyaos voice was soft, gentle, and full of amorous allure, Are you drunk? Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. She looked around, trembling hand reaching towards his face. The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of her own thundering heartbeat was audible. Thump, thump, thump. Just as her fingers was about to touch his cheek, the world before her eyes spun and she felt a sudden burning sensation on the back of her hand. Ah! Qu Yunyao couldnt help but scream. Sorry. His cold voice followed immediately. Tears welled up in Qu Yunyaos eyes from the pain. She looked down at her hand. The back of her hand was naturally delicate and white, but now it was seared with a cigarette butt. It was so violent that the skin had broken and the fresh, tender flesh underneath was visible. She could even smell something burnt There was sure to be a scar left behind. Qu Yunyao was in unbearable pain. She gritted her teeth and waited for the pain to fade. When she finally looked up Xiao Yebai was nowhere to be seen. He did it on purpose! He surely did it on purpose! Qu Yunyao was both mad and upset, yet she could not voice her grievances. Fearing that her prolonged absence might raise suspicion, she quickly returned to the restroom to rinse her wound with cold water before heading back. Indeed, by the time she returned to the living room, everyone was already seated on the couch. Upon seeing her, Xu Jing frowned, Why did it take you so long just to use the restroom? Making all the elders wait for you, its not right. Qu Yunyao could only apologize, Im sorry, I1 just received a call. At this moment, Mo Weiyi returned with a female doctor by his side. She looked about forty or fifty with a short ck hair that made her seem youthful and vibrant. She was currently chatting andughing with Mo Weiyi. Dr. Pu, is my granddaughters health okay? Mo Yaoxiongs booming voice inquired. Dr. Pu chuckled and replied, Miss Mo is inherently averse to cold and has a weak constitution. Given the cold weather, she needs to keep warm. I just prescribed a tonic for her. With regr intake for several weeks, she should naturally be able to conceive Pregnant? Mo Yaoxiong interrupted in surprise. Qu Yunyao was equally shocked. Dr. Puughed, Miss Mo said she wanted to have a baby as soon as possible, so I gave her the cleansing prescription. Yiyi wants to have a baby? There was a gleam in Mo Yaoxiongs eyes. Mo Weiyi, blushing, tugged at her grandfathers arm, Grandpa, dont you want to hold your great grandson? Hahaha Mo Yaoxiong let out a heartyugh, In that case, Dr. Pu, you must take good care of my granddaughters body, maybe I can hold my great-grandson while Im still alive! Xiao Yebai was sitting there with a smirk on his lips that seemed both real and fake. Mo Weiyi sneaked a nce at him, seeing no sign of objection, she felt content. Right. Mo Yaoxiong added, Dr. Pu, since youre here, why dont you examine Yunyao and Xu Jing as well? Qu Yunyao was startled, No, Im in perfect health, we shouldnt trouble Dr. Pu. What are you talking about! Xu Jing gave her a warning look, then turned to Dr. Pu with a smile, We would be grateful if you could, Dr. Pu. Dr. Pu slightly smiled, Miss Biao,e with me to the back guest room. I really dont need to, my health is quite good Qu Yunyao wanted to protest. She did not know if it was because she had just been scalded by Xiao Yebai. She always felt uneasy and had a bad hunch. Didnt you say you had a bad stomach just now? Mo Yaoxiong thought she was being shy, Dont be shy. Dr. Pu is a famous doctor at Nancheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Usually, you had to book an appointment months in advance. Upon hearing this, Xu Jing put more force into her grip, Hurry up, dont keep people waiting. As a guest, she was afraid her daughter didnt understand the world. Especially since this doctor had such a high status, they were deriving benefits from Mo Weiyi, and it was too pretentious to be unwilling and indecisive about it. Seeing that Qu Yunyao was still sitting without moving, she frowned, simply walked over, and pulled her daughter towards the guest room. ** In the guest room, Qu Yunyao looked flustered. If it was just a physical checkup, it should not be able to reveal anything about a pregnancy, right? After all, traditional Chinese medicine did not include any urine tests Comforting herself like this, her expression gradually calmed down. Dr. Pu quickly came in and smiling, she sat down on the sofa next to her, Miss Biao, please give me your hand. Qu Yunyao looked at her and extended her left hand. Doctor Pu ced two fingers on her wrist and began to feel her pulse. Qu Yunyao was gossiping in her heart. Just like this? After a while, Dr. Pus brows furrowed slightly, then she smiled and said, Miss Biao, please give me your right hand. Qu Yunyao carefully extended her right hand, fearing that Xu Jing would see the burn on the back of her hand. Dr. Pu began to feel her pulse in her right hand. As time went by slowly, Qu Yunyao began to calm down. Then, Dr. Pu finally let go of her hand, a faint smile on her face. Dr. Pu, how is my daughters health? Xu Jing quickly asked. Dr. Pu looked at her, her smile widening, Congrattions, your daughter is already two months pregnant. Qu Yunyaos eyes widened suddenly, her blood almost surged upward, directly reaching her forehead, leaving her momentarily dazed. What? Xu Jings voice suddenly rose, trembling with shock, Dr. Pu, did did you say my daughter is pregnant? Yes, she is more than two months pregnant, the fetus Youre talking nonsense! Qu Yunyao quickly interrupted her, grasping Xu Jings arm and exining desperately, Mom, dont believe her, she is talking nonsense, I am not pregnant, I am really not pregnant Miss Biao. Dr. Pu interrupted with a calm voice, Please dont doubt my professionalism. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, your pulse is lively and smooth, which is indeed a slippery pulse I was just a bit excited just now, stop talking nonsense! Qu Yunyao interrupted again. The debate quickly reached the living room outside, Mo Yaoxiong had already walked over at the sound, What happened? Before Qu Yunyao had time to stop her, Dr. Pu swiftly walked out of the guest room and said loudly, Miss Biao is two months pregnant What? Yunyao is pregnant? Mo Weiyis voice was surprised. Xu Jing stood in the doorway of the guest room, feeling utterly embarrassed. But Qu Yunyao had already chased her out, pulling hard at Dr. Pus arm and shouting, What are you bbering about? I didnt get pregnant at all, dont listen to her nonsense! Old man Mo frowned deeply, looking displeased. This Qu Yunyao was only neen years old and was always obedient, timid, and not talkative. Although he didnt much like this character, he still thought she was a decent and sensible girl. He never expected that she would be pregnant before marriage His impression of her fell immensely. Why didnt you say you were pregnant when you were? Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, Two months? At that time we were all in Haicheng, I remember you were with your boyfriend then. No wonder. After speaking, he immediately looked at Xiao Yebai, Xiaobai, look, Yunyao is pregnant. Shes even younger than me. Xiao Yebai pursed his lips and didnt say a word. Pm not, it must be false, how could it be, Im not pregnant! Qu Yunyao started shouting. Mo Yaoxiong frowned and then, Dr. Pus voice rang out calmly, I am fifty-eight years old this year. I entered the traditional Chinese medicine industry when I was twenty years old. I have been practising medicine for over thirty years and have never misdiagnosed! You You only touched my hand, how could you find out I was pregnant? Qu Yunyao just wanted to deny it. Miss Biao is ignorant, I dont me you. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting. After a woman is pregnant, her pulse is different from the past. Because after pregnancy, the blood flow in the pregnant womans body is higher than the average person, so the pulse beat is more lively and smooth, like a pearl running on a te, this is called a slippery pulse. I guarantee with my over thirty years of traditional Chinese medicine experience, my diagnosis will absolutely not be wrong.. Chapter 367: 367, Poke through face to face Chapter 367: Poke through face to face I dont me you for yourck of knowledge, Miss. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and pulse diagnosis. A womans pulse is different after pregnancy. The blood flow in a pregnant womans body is higher than normal, so their pulse is typically more lively, like beads rolling on a te; this is known as Hua Mai (lively pulse). I can guarantee with my over thirty-years worth of traditional Chinese medical experience that my diagnosis will not be wrong. Impossible, youre making this up Yunyao! Xu Jing cast an angry gaze at her daughter, What did I tell you before? You absolutely cannot go that far before marriage! Did you just ignore my words? Also, youve had no appetitetely and youve been constantly nauseous and wanting to vomit. When I asked you about itst time, you lied to me that youre having a stomach problem. I remember you started to have these symptoms a month ago, and even went to the hospital for a checkup- why did you hide it from me? Having said that, she could no longer hold back, and pped Yunyao on her face. Qu Yunyaos cheek quickly reddened and swelled. She was in pain and terrified, and tears poured out from her eyes. I get it now! Mo Weiyi interjected, Last time at the hospital, she also said she wasnt feeling well; she was nauseous, wanted to vomit and had no appetite for food. Now I understand, Yunyao, pregnancy is a good thing, why didnt you tell us? Qu Yunyao gritted her teeth, looking at Mo Weiyis sweet and charming face. She felt that Mo Weiyi was pretending to be innocent, and it was so disgusting that she wanted to puke! I really am not pregnant. That must just be the nonsense of this quack doctor. The doctor told me during thest check-up that I just had a stomach problem. Mother, I really did not lie to you, I am truly not pregnant Hmph! Doctor Pu scoffed, My family has been practicing medicine for generations; my ancestors have even served as royal physicians for Emperor Qianlong, and we still have the golden sign bestowed by Emperor Qianlong hanging in our house. Over these years, our familys reputation has never been tarnished. Do you think I ndered you on purpose about your pregnancy Miss?please visit sitestorys(.)c0m maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries. I usually only help Miss Mo with health maintenance and rarelye to Mos residence for treatment. Today is the first time Ive seen you here, Miss. We are strangers and have no reason for animosity. Why would I nder you with false usations of pregnancy? Dr. Pu, being a man of temper, was visibly angered by this and almost scolded Yunyao. Besides, what benefits would I gain from falsely using you of being pregnant? If Miss isnt willing to admit it, we can go to the nearest hospital right now and have both traditional Chinese and Western doctors give you a checkup to prove my innocence! With a shame-faced look, Xu Jing hastily spoke, Im sorry, Dr. Pu. My daughter is naive; please dont take offense to her words. Her unmarried daughter being pregnant had been revealed to everyone, and now she was even showing such ignorance publicly Xu Jing had never had such an experience before, she felt extremely ashamed, her entire face ming up in embarrassment as she wished she could just find a hole to hide in. Our familys reputation cant be ruined in my hands after all these years. Doctor Pu looked at Grandpa Mo, neither overbearing nor submissive, Old man, I request that we go to the nearest hospital with Miss now. If Miss still doesnt trust me, we can invite several doctors there to provide a diagnosis. Grandpa Mo looked gloomy, ncing at Qu Yunyao with annoyance and disgust. Its not necessary, really not necessary, Dr. Pu, its just that my daughter is ignorant, she really doesnt understand. Xu Jing pulled Qu Yunyao by the arm after finishing her words, Tell us, who is the father of the child? Qu Yunyao lowered her head and could only cry. The incident happened too suddenly. She was only neen after all. Although she had initially nned to frame Xiao Yebai with the unbom child, she hadnt set her ns in motion yet, or even thought of a proper excuse when the secret of her pregnancy was prematurely discovered. If she were to announce now that the child was Xiao Yebais, she would most likely beughed at! Auntie. Mo Weiyi opened her clear eyes, The child must be Yunyaos boyfriends, right? Since theyve had a child, why not hurry up and get married? Why are you so angry? Xu Jing: Mo Yaoxiong also tried to soothe, Since things have alreadye to this, Xu Jing, dont be angry anymore. Although Yunyao is still young, having a child is a happy asion after all. A happy asion? Xu Jing lowered her head, feeling humiliated. Im sorry, I really didnt know Yunyao would do such a thing Its not your fault. Mo Yaoxiongforted. He had initially thought that Qu Yunyao was mature and independent for her age and that Xu Jing had raised a good daughter, but As he sighed to himself, he couldnt help but feel that he had misjudged her. Being pregnant at the age of neen and unmarried at that, even though it was due to her being unable to control her feelings for her boyfriend, it would still be seen as improper if word got out. ** Suddenly finding out that her daughter was pregnant, Xu Jing no longer had theposure to let Dr. Pu continue the consultation. She immediately took her daughter back to their room. As the door closed, her facepletely changed, Tell me honestly, is this child really Xu Ruis!? Qu Yunyao remained silent. Xu Jing had suspicions for a while, after all, if the child is truly Xu Ruis, why would she hide it and deny it so adamantly? There must be another reason. Speak up! Xu Jing shouted sharply, and Qu Yunyaos body shuddered abruptly. Finally, her face turned pale, and she said, Its Its Xu Ruis. Xu Jing felt a sigh of relief deep down, Then why did you hide it? Qu Yunyao could only continue bluffing, I was afraid that you would be upset with me for being careless 1 am upset with you, but now that youre already pregnant, whats done is done. I cant possibly ask you to terminate the pregnancy, can I? Although angry, Xu Jing was still rational, Youre already two months pregnant. Your belly will only get bigger with time. I cant afford to lose face. Having said that, she directly reached out, Give me your phone. I need to discuss the wedding arrangements with Xu Rui. No, mom. Qu Yunyao hadnt even prepared a proper exnation with Xu Rui yet. How could she possibly let Xu Jing call him now? A look of suspicion once again appeared on Xu Jings face, Whats going on with you? Mom, can I can I discuss it with him first? Because he doesnt know about this either, I havent told anyone You Xu Jing couldnt hold back her anger, raising her hand to jab Qu Yunyaos forehead, Yourepletely muddled! Qu Yunyao: Make arrangements to meet Xu Rui tomorrow. I want to see him personally. Okay. ** I really didnt expect Yunyao to be pregnant so soon, wow. Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, squinting her stunning cat-shaped eyes, and nagged nonstop, She must have found out during myst hospital stay when I had a fever. Why did she deny it just now? Unbelievable! Dr. Pu cant stand being questioned about her profession, this is the first time Ive seen her so angry in all the time Ive known her Xiao Yebai was driving the car, and he didnt say anything. After Mo Weiyi ranted for a while, she didnt feel like thinking about it anymore. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her. She turned her head, looked at the man who was concentrating on driving, and said with a smile, Dr. Pu gave me a prescription earlier. She said that after a few weeks of treatment, I should be able to get pregnant easily. You should focus on your studies first. Xiao Yebai answered indifferently, as usual. I am studying. If youre not interested inw, you can change your major. They came to a red light, and Xiao Yebai stopped the car. Change major? Mo Weiyi tilted her face, her pretty little face full of bewilderment, Change to what major? Whatever youre interested in? Im interested in you. Xiao Yebai: She turned her head to see Mo Weiyi propping her cheeks with her hands, innocently looking at him. Her pretty cat eyes were smiling, forming two crescents. Then, he looked straight ahead, I was asking if theres another major you are interested in. Law can indeed be tedious. Many legal provisions require rote memorization that is time consuming and which may indeed not suit you. After some thought, he suggested, Things like Chinesenguage, drawing, design, or evenfinance, anything youre interested in? Mo Weiyi continued to smile, Im only interested in you. Xiao Yebai again: He suddenly remembered a scenario from two years ago. At that time, Mo Weiyi was only seventeen years old, just in her third year of high school, right before the university entrance exam. Given her grades at the time, there was essentially no hope. She chased him around every day, constantly talking about getting married orsleeping with him. Old Mr. Mo, who would do anything for his only granddaughter. Although he did not like this adoptive son who suddenly appeared, as long as his granddaughter liked it, he would directly order a wedding without hesitation. Under various pressures, Xiao Yebai promised her at that time that if she could get into Nancheng University on her own capability, he would consider the matter of marriage.. Chapter 368: 368, is it a boy or a girl? Chapter 368: is it a boy or a girl? He had guessed that with herzy and self-centered character, it was impossible for her to take up studying, which is usually deemed dull and mundane. Moreover, at that time, only a year was left. But to his astonishment, Mo Weiyi seriously buckled down during that year. She stopped spending all her time shopping, applying makeup, and day-dreaming Instead, she hired numerous top-notch mentors and did nothing but study every day-even on holidays, she would stay home and bury herself in schoolwork. As a result, she hardly had any contact with her best friend, Su Wanwan, during this period. One yearter, she did get epted to the Law Department at Nancheng University by her own efforts. Because of this, his impression of Mo Weiyi changed. In reality, she was not uneducated and frivolous as exaggerated by the rumors. She just didnt love, like, or show any interest in studying; hence, she didnt feel the motivation to do it. However, if a purpose could stimte her ambition to conquer studying then she would devote herself totally to ovee it diligently and earnestly. Possibly Just like how she conquered him. The green light turned on. Xiao Yebai drove the car out. In the confined space of the car, his low, cold, and clean votce softly rang out, Do you really want to get pregnant? Of course. Mo Weiyiughed, Doctor Pu said that women who have children at an earlier age recover quicker. Look, Im twenty years old. If I start preparing for a baby now, in a few years, the young one would be walking and talking and Id still be the prettiest hot mom, and youd be the most handsome dad! We can take our little bundle on vacations By the way, Xiaobai, do you prefer a boy or a girl? Even though shed prefer to have a little boy who looks just like Xiao Yebai, shed be fine if he prefers a girl. Isnt there a saying? Daughters are their fathers lovers from a past life. Thats why most men favor daughters. Mo Weiyi envisioned a scene in her mind. Her looking stylish and morous, her daughter as cute as a doll-both of them wearing matching mother-daughter outfits, being interviewed together appearing on the covers of newspapers and magazines, setting the whole country on fire The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more excited she became, Or lets just have a pair of boy and girl twins? I heard that assisted reproductive technology can bring about twins these days. In recent news, a Taiwanese celebrity couple just had triplets. Xiao Yebais brows twitched slightly, The ovtion injection is quite painful. How painful? Mo Weiyi asked. Shes most fearful of pain. Her delicate features scrunched up tightly. But the next moment Thats okay. If other women can do it, so can I. As long as I can have a pair of boy and girl twins. Xiao Yebai: Clearing his throat, he said gravely, If you really want to get pregnant, wait until after graduation. Why? Mo Weiyi argued, Didnt my grandpa just say that he wants to hold his great-grandson? Hes nearly eighty years old this year and his health isnt great. Xiaobai, lets just have a baby. It wont disturb your work; all you need to provide is the sperm. The baby would grow inside me, and I can go back to school after giving birth. Isnt that the same? Sure. Mo Weiyis eyes lit up, You agreed? If you can rank in the top ten in your English exam this semester, I will consider letting you get pregnant. Huh? Mo Weiyis delicate features scrunched up again, Why does it have to be the top ten? I barely attended any sses this semester. The truth is, after working hard for a year to get into Nancheng University and marrying Xiao Yebai during that summer vacation, Mo Weiyi started to ck off once she entered university. Other than partying, she hardly went to school let alone attend sses. Xiaobai, can wepromise No negotiating. Xiao Yebais lips curled up, Orwould you rather rank in the top ten in all subjects? No! English will do. Mo Weiyi quickly agreed. It was alreadyte November, and there were less than two months left until the end-of-semester exams. For someone like her, who hardly attended sses, it would be impossible for her to rank in the top ten in all subjects in such a short period of time. But it seemed feasible if it was just English. After weighing the options in her mind, Mo Weiyi reluctantly agreed by counting on her fingers, Fine, top ten it is. But you have to find me a tutor, a really good one. Sure. ** The next day, Mo Group. Zhong Kai was sitting at the ck office desk, holding a notebook, reporting the progress of recent work projects. An hour passed by the time he finished the report. He opened the Word document on hisputer to prepare his notes, Mr. Xiao, do you have anyments or suggestions Find me a tutor. Xiao Yebais lengthy fingers were resting against his temples For a third-year university English course. Huh? Zhong Kai didnt react for a moment. Any problems? Xiao Yebai lowered his eyelids. No, no, is the tutor for the princess? As soon as he asked, he felt that his question was rather foolish. Hurriedly, Zhong Kai added, Of course, it must be. Being so concerned about the princesss academic achievements, Mr. Xiao is indeed a good husband Xiao Yebai raised his brows, and he promptly shut up, hugging his notebook as he stood up, Mr. Xiao, Ill head out to arrange that now. Wait a minute. Xiao Yebai suddenly called him back. Then, Zhong Kai heard his bosss deep, indifferent voice say, Find a female tutor. A female tutor? With a quick shift of his eyes, Zhong Kai understood. Yes, CEO Xiao. Leaving the office, he couldnt help butugh. CEO Xiao always seemed so cold, who would have thought his possessiveness towards the princess was this strong? Even when finding a tutor he specifically requested a female one, preventing any potential problems before they ur! ** Zhong Kai was very efficient in his work. The following evening, before Xiao Yebai had returned home, Mo Weiyi had just finished dinner when she saw him bring a young girl into the vi. Princess, this is Miss Chen. She is a junior at the Foreign Language University, and has already passed the IELTS exam smoothly. Shes here to give a trial tutoring lesson tonight. Hello, Miss Mo. Chen Jin wore burgundy thin-rimmed sses, had a white clean face, a shy smile, was probably around 1.65 meters tall, dressed in student-appropriate attire C white cotton clothes and jeans, paired with ck cotton shoes with a slope heel. She looked the part of a good student. Mo Weiyi nodded, Come in after changing your shoes. After changing into cotton slippers, Chen Jin followed Mo Weiyi into the study. Teacher Chen, under the bright light, Mo Weiyi was fretfully biting the top of her ck ink pen, I havent attended university for the past two years, and havent even taken the CET-4 or CET-6. Can intensive study at thisst moment help me score within the top 10 of the ss in the final exams? Chen Jin: She hadnt attended university for two years? She hadnt taken the CET-4 or CET-6? She wants to get into the top ten of the ss? Zhong Kai hadnt mentioned these details to her, but Even if its not possible, she must say its possible! After all, the fee that Zhong Kai offered is high. There were other students at the Foreign Language University who were more outstanding than her. Its just that she had recentlypleted IELTS, and had gotten this trial teaching opportunity through her teachers introduction. The teacher had only said it was a good opportunity, and she had noticed that this residential area was filled with luxury cars. The vi was huge C it was obviously a wealthy family. Especially after seeing Mo Weiyis doll-like pretty and pure face She immediately said, As long as you memorize all the key points I assign, its definitely possible to be in the top ten. Really? Mo Weiyi was visibly delighted, Then lets begin. Chen Jin flipped open an English textbook and started lecturing. Mo Weiyi was nodding along. Chen Jins speaking volume was just right, her English pronunciation was standard, and she was patient and meticulous in her lectures. Although she was a bit confused, Mo Weiyi managed to endure the two-hour session. At nine oclock in the evening, Chen Jin looked at the time and stood up on time, Miss Mo, lets call it a day for todays trial tutoring. If you think Im suitable, I hope you can put in a good word for me to Mr. Zhong. I really hope tond this job. Sure. When they reached the door of the study, Zhong Kai quickly stood up. After the servant saw Chen Jin out, Zhong Kai immediately asked, Princess, what do you think of Miss Chens teaching? Its alright, Mo Weiyi said. In that case, Ill sign the contract with her. The exam is at the end of January, and now its the end of November, which is precisely two months. Alright. ** The next day. Mo Weiyi arrived at school early in the morning. And she even directly went to Su Wenwens ssroom. Su Wanwan looked at her, Did you take the wrong pills? Youve actuallye to listen to my English ss with me? Mo Weiyi said, Xiaobai wants my English score to be in the top ten of the ss at the end of this semester. The English ss for juniors is general education, so its the same if I listen here. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, Top ten of the ss? Yes. You? Yes. You must be joking, right? Su Wanwan looked bewildered, Did you ever study English in your freshman and sophomore years? No. Then how are you going to get into the top ten of the ss? By cramming for thest two months before the exam? Chapter 369: 369, Zimbabwe Chapter 369: Zimbabwe Mo Weiyi coughed twice, leaning close to her, Because I want to get pregnant. Xiaobai said that if my English grade could make it into the top ten in ss, he would consider letting me get pregnant. Just consider? Su Wanwan found the key word decisively. Mo Weiyi blinked her gorgeous cat eyes, Thats how I married him two years ago! At that time, Xiao Yebai said that if she could use her own ability to get into Nancheng University, he would consider marrying her. Later when she really got into Nancheng University, he started to back out. So she simply stormed into his room and cooked the uncooked rice. By the next day, she switched sides and agreed to get engaged to Chu Xiuhuang. And then she realized Well, there are times when you need to stimte some introverted men with unconventional means! Thats why Mo Weiyi agreed so readilyst night, after all, she had a sessful previous experience. As for Su Wanwan, she shook her head helplessly, feeling that Mo Weiyi was beyond redemption. On the issue of liking Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi waspletely hopeless! * * In the following days, Mo Weiyi really came to school every day, from nine to five, rain or shine. As the English Level 4 exam was imminent, Su Wanwan apanied her, the two went to ss, had meals, and studied together every day. They simply became a model pair of good students in the school. Nancheng soon entered the twelfth cold month. Half a monthter, the English Level 4 and 6 exams officially arrived. After finishing all the questions and checking them again, Su Wenwen handed in her paper early and gracefully left the examination room. When she was waiting for Mo Weiyi in the corridor, a voice suddenly came. Su Wenwen! Su Wanwan raised her head to look. It was Bai Ruwei. How did you do on the test? Bai Ruwei asked her with a smile. Pretty good. With all your hard work, youll definitely pass with flying colors. Bai Ruwei then looked at the time, Ah, Ill bete for work, I gotta go. See you, Wanwan. Okay. Actually, Su Wanwan bumped into Bai Ruwei quite often at school, but every time they would greet each other and then Bai Ruwei had to rush off to work. Today, after finishing the Level 4 and 6 exam, she rushed off to work, Bai Ruwei was definitely the most industrious girl she had ever met. Su Wanwan waited a while longer before seeing Mo Weiyi strolling over. The Little Princess was wearing a thick pink short down coat, with a matching rabbit hair scarf and a red fluffy hat, she looked utterly adorable. There was a tall guy by her side, the two were walking and talking. When they arrived, Mo Weiyi immediately wrinkled her cute little face, Baby Wanwan, I can recognize those English letters, but they cant recognize me The guyughed at Su Wanwan, then looked at Mo Weiyi, with a youthful and innocent voice, Senior, Im going back to the dorm first. Mo Weiyi nodded. By the way, scan my WeChat, the boy took out his phone. Seeing Mo Weiyi scan the QR code and add WeChat, the boy left satisfied, Su Wenwen couldnt help but ask, Who is this guy? I dont know, he sat behind me in the exam, seems to be a freshman from the Law department. Su Wanwan frowned, You add him on WeChat even though you dont know him? Whats the big deal, we are in the same department anyway, and hes my junior. After saying this, Mo Weiyi sighed again, Hes a freshman, and Im a junior, and were sitting together taking the English Level 4 exam. Do you think the school did it on purpose? Dont we study ckers have any dignity? If you wanted dignity, would you be a cker? Su Wanwan retorted. Just you wait, in another month, Ill definitely make it into the top ten in the ss! Mo Weiyi shook her little fists, Then I wont have to go to school next year, Ill be able to stay at home and get pregnant. Then youll have a godson! Su Wanwan: She waspletely out of her mind! * * Two oclock in the afternoon, in the reading room. Su Wenwen suddenly received a WeChat message from Huo Jingshen, immediately stood up and packed her things, Weiyi, my husband has a friend who has a birthday today, he asked me to rx, so I cant apany you. Who? Mo Weiyi huffed, Is it Chu Xiuhuang? No, another person surnamed Lu. Su Wenwen had just finished speaking when she saw the junior from this morninging over. The seats in the reading room were always scarce, it seemed that he quickly came over as soon as he saw her leaving. When he saw Mo Weiyi, he immediately greeted her with a smile, Senior, what a coincidence. Mo Weiyi lifted his head, smiling sweetly and said, What a coincidence. Is it though? Observing the two of them sitting together, Su Wenwen saw a young, beautiful girl and a handsome, refined boy. Anyone who didnt know them might think they were a campus couple. * * Half an hourter, Su Wenwen arrived at the agreed-upon clubhouse. Unlike the extravagant entertainment clubs, this clubhouse was designed more elegantly and was more suitable for the general consumers demands. Su Wenwen walked right in. At this time, the clubhouse wasnt too crowded. After giving Huo Jingshens name, the doorman let her in. After entering the lobby and finding the elevator, the door opened to reveal a familiar man inside. Oh, who do we have here? Huo Zhexi squinted his eyes, which were slightly simr to Huo Jingshens narrow eyes. Its been a while since hest saw this sassy girl. After Huo Jingshen scared him about the issue with the dressst time, his parents had returned from abroad, and Huo Zhexi had been kept at home under their watch. He behaved well for a while. Later, he went to Las Vegas with his friends for over a month. The blink of an eye, three months had passed, and he had unexpectedly run into his nemesis here! Standing next to him was a young gentleman who, upon seeing Su Wanwan, was instantly drawn in. He hurriedly asked him, Zhexi, whos this girl? Introduce me, quickly. Huo Zhexi replied defiantly, Who do you think she looks like? The gentleman rubbed his chin,paring the image of Su Wanwan in front of him again and again, finally saying, I think she looks quite like Lu Zixi. Lu Zixi is a female artist who had recently risen to national fame due to several TV dramas with her as the lead female continuously airing. Her? Huo Zhexi immediately made a puking gesture, I feel like vomiting! Su Wanwan had already pressed the button for the 8th floor. Upon hearing the noise, she smirked at Huo Zhexi, Little brother, whats wrong with me? Damn it, whos your little brother? Huo Zhexis dyed red hair stood on end from the rage. Little brother? This bratty girl is three years younger than him, and now shes calling him little brother? Su Wanwan tilted her head, So, should I call you mistress? Ill be damned! Huo Zhexi clenched his fist, ring ominously at her, You little wench, youre in for it! Last time you said the same thing and it has been a few months already. I have been waiting. What exactly do you want to do? You Unable to hold back, Huo Zhexi was about to hit her. Just then, the elevator door fatefully opened. Husband! Su Wanwan immediately put on a sweet smile. She ran out, throwing her arm around the arm of the stern, mature man standing at the elevator entrance. In a coquettish voice sheined, Husband, mistress was bullying me! Mistress Huo Zhexi hastily withdrew his fist and shrank backward, struggling to muster an awkward smile, Big brother, what a coincidence, hehe. Damn, are these two conjoined twins or something? Why do they always seem to turn up everywhere! Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, his voice low and cold, No coincidence. Huo Zhexi was taken aback, I came specifically to pick up your sister-inw. The gentleman standing nearby was also stunned, this girl is Huo Zhexis sister-inw? What were you trying to do just now? With Huo Jingshens question, a cold sweat trickled down Huo Zhexis back. All he could do was reply with a grin, I was just joking with sister-inw. Who wouldve expected Su Wanwan to immediately retort, Husband, mistress just called me a wench! He even wanted to hit me! You wench See, husband, hes cursing at me again right in front of you! You A lump formed in Huo Zhexis throat. He was so frustrated he felt like he would choke. Huo Jingshen opened his thin lips and spoke, If I recall correctly, you just got back from Las Vegas? Huo Zhexi again put on his best smile, Yes, big brother, I just got backst week. I think you need another trip. How about Zimbabwe? What? Huo Zhexi was confused, Where is Zimbabwe? Su Wanwan chuckled, Ignorance is really terrible! The ignorant Huo Zhexi was so pissed! He had to quickly look up where Zimbabwe is when he got back! Huo Jingshens brows furrowed, his deep voice filled with danger and warning, Next time I see you act indecently towards your sister-inw, youll be spending the rest of your life abroad.. Chapter 370: 370, die-hard brainless fans Chapter 370: die-hard brainless fans Huo Jingshens brow furrowed, his low voice filled with danger and warning, If I ever see you disrespecting my sister-inw again, you will stay abroad forever and never return. After issuing the warning, he left with Su Wanwan. Huo Zhexi clenched his fists tightly, almost grinding his teeth in frustration.
  • ?Zhexi, is that girl really your sister-inw?
    • Yes. The young master clucked his tongue twice, She only looks like shes in her teens. I didnt expect your brother to have such a taste, liking an older woman with a young body. ItS not my brothers taste thats strong, its that damned girls crafty methods. Huo Zhexi remembered the fear he once felt when controlled by Su Wanwan. He felt that he should avoid this cunning girl in the future, better not to visit the main house for some time, lest she ensnare him again. The elevator continued to ascend and soon arrived at the top floor. The two men stepped out of the elevator and entered a private room. The scene inside was one of hedonistic indulgence. Upon seeing the main characters arrive, their friends and tterers immediately started making a ruckus, calling for the servers to pour drinks. HUO Zhexi was still upset, and reached for a drink as soon as it was put down. He didnt notice something in the way and felt a sudden chill, followed by a woman screaming, Ah A friend immediately rebuked, Are you blind? You cant do anything right! Did you get possessed by something? I ii Im sorry, Im sorry. The woman hurriedly started mopping up the drink spilled on Huo Zhexis suit trousers, choking on her words, Its not deliberate, sir, Im so sorry. Could you forgive me this time? Huo Zhexi looked at the girl. She was wearing the clubs standard waitress uniform, a ck tight-fitting shirtbined with a id skirt, crouching down on the ground, her slender legs shining particrly white under the dim light. Her face was tear-streaked, lightly made-up, and under the chaotic environment, she appeared as a fresh and gentle lily, evoking a sense of pity. You dont recognize me? Huo Zhexi asked with doubt. He considered himself to be quite a significant figure in Nancheng, and although he hadnt been active for over three months, he had frequented this club in the past. Could there actually be a waitress who didnt recognize him. The girl seemed frightened; her voice was weak and shaky as she responded, Im sorry, sir, II just started working here. Huo Zhexi extended his hand. The girls face was lifted up. Speak. Huo Zhexi raised his eyebrow in amusement, Whats your name? L..Im Bai Ruwei. Bai Ruwei, Huo Zhexi murmured quietly, Hmm, what a beautiful name. The manspliment and the clear signs of attraction in his eyes caused the girls face to blush, and she slowly revealed a beautiful, slightly shy smile. Indeed, the person was as lovely as her name. Delighted, Huo Zhexi grabbed her hand, saying, Come, sit down and have a drink with me! So Bai Ruwei sat down on the sofa, following his lead. At this moment, the whole group of tterers were shocked. If this had happened to Huo Zhexi before, being sshed with a drink by a waitress, he would have pped her in a fit of rage. Despite being generous, he was known to have a vtile temperament, never one to coddle or pamper the fairer sex. But what happened today? He not only did not get angry but also invited the waitress to sit down and have a drink with him. Looking at the waitresss appearance, welL.it was just okay. * * * In the corridor, a door closed. A few waitresses immediately gathered to gossip. Did you see that? Thats what you call having skills! -She seemed quite innocent usually, who wouldve thought she was such a schemer! She intentionally spilled the drink on Mr. Huos trousers! And also pretended not to know him! Utterly shameless! Do you seriously think the Huo family will let her in through their doors? A poor girl like her from who-knows-where, shes just deluded! You just dont understand. Even if the Huo family doesnt let her through the door, if she has caught Mr. Huos eye, she wont miss out on the benefits. Exactly, its said that Mr. Huo gives each of his ex-girlfriends a break-up fee worth hundreds of thousands! I 11 * * * On the eighth floor. Huo Jingshen led Su Wanwan into a high-end VIP room. There were only four men inside. They were Chu Xiuhuang, Nangong Ci, Ming Jing, and todays birthday boy, Lu Chenyu. Looking around, there were no streamers or balloons, not even a hint of a birthday atmosphere. Unable to resist, Su Wanwan asked, Is this a birthday party? Howethere are so few people? A smirk appeared on Huo Jingshens lips, He has a more introverted personality. Pfft! Su Wanwan couldnt helpughing. Introverted? What even? Indeed, Lu Chenyu doesnt talk much. Every time they meet, Nangong Ci talks the most, and everyone else is rtively talkative. Only Lu Chenyu always has a poker face and hardly talks, asionally blurting out a couple of words. If its not a proverb, then its some popr inte ng or catchphrase. Probably a typical introverted 5G surfhound. Purportedly awyer, shouldntwyers be eloquent? -Hey, Wanwan, you look really Nangong Ci tilted his head, trying to think of an adjective. Birthday boy Lu Chenyu spoke up, Cute. Su Wanwan: Because the room had central air conditioning, she had taken off her down jacket in the corridor earlier. At the moment, she was wearing a pink hoodie with a pair of jeans. The hoodie was pink and had a hood with cat ears on either side. At first nce, she looked exceptionally youthful. Then looking at Huo Jingshen, he was dressed in a mature style C a dark-colored woolen sweater with a white shirt underneath, neatly pressed ck trousers. Although he was holding their coats, he appeared as a mature and steady middle-aged man. Then, Nangong Ci added, Big brother, you standing next to sister Wanwan makes you look like her dad! Su Wanwan again, Pfft! As for Huo Jingshen, his brows furrowed and his face darkened, What did you call her? Oh, sister-inw. Nangong Ci quickly corrected himself. Bloody hell. This sister-inw looked so young, he just couldnt help but call her sis. Desperate to change the topic, he said, Alright, now that everyones here, lets start with the cake blowing and wish-making. Then, he took from the table next to him a box, Lu, dont say I dont care about you, this cake was custom-ordered by myself. As he took off the lid. Su Wenwen almostughed till she fell to the ground. It was a fondant cake, the picture on it was surprisingly of Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang. Both wearing the same model of square-cut swimsuits? And they were also holding hands, smiling to the point of showing their white teeth In short, it was utterly embarrassing to look at! ouch, second brother, dont hit me it hurts, hurts, hurts! Second brother, let go Nangong Ci was already held down on the couch by Chu Xiuhuang. Both his arms were turned back at ny degrees, and his handsome face was beet red from the pain. Lu Chenyu, on the other hand, seemed to be quite calm. He even picked up the candle and stuck it into the cake. He lit it himself. He blew it out himself. And then He put his palms together and made his birthday wish. It was simply too weird. It was Su Wanwans first time witnessing such a birthday celebration Nangong Ci finally escaped with the help of Ming Jing from the side. -If you fucking spread out these photos again, I will fucking kill you! Chu Xiuhuang kicked at him again. Nangong Ci hurriedly exined with his face red, I found this photo in a Fire Emperor fan group. You fucking sneaked into my fan group? Chu Xiuhuangs sharp phoenix eyes squinted, looking particrly dangerous. Nangong Ci said with a chuckling smile, I am your loyal die-hard fan, second brother, you cannot treat me like this. Su Wanwan casually picked up her phone. She searched for Chu Xiuhuang and indeed found his Weibo ount. She then looked at his fan count. My god! Over thirty million fans? When she clicked into the super topicmunity, the poprity was incredibly high. There were many fangirl posts, including ones about him and Lu Chenyus fan fiction. The fan couples name was Huangchen PK? Is it a pun on PK in the imperial city? Before Su Wanwan could finish reading, her phone was suddenly seized by a beautiful big hand. She was flustered, What are you doing? Huo Jingshen took the phone, his slender finger swiped, and he turned off and uninstalled Weibo, Dont look at these vulgar and unhealthy things. Su Wanwan coughed twice and looked at the birthday boy who was calmly enjoying his cake on one side. She couldnt help but ask him, Isnt this Lu Chenyuactually a gay, right? Yes. Su Wanwan: Yes? Is this a confirmation? Holy shit! Even though he is not as handsome as my husband, Lu Chenyu still has handsome features. He is even awyer and a high-IQelite man. But he actually has that kind of preference! What a pity! And Chu Xiuhuang always has different girls at his side, could it be he swings both ways? No wonder Chu Xiuhuang didnt bring a femalepanion at Lu Chenyus birthday party today, so its because It seemed like she discovered a massive secret Su Wenwen was excited by her discovery. Looking at the two of them sitting together and talking, they seemed to match each other more and more. Chu Xiuhuang was seductively domineering, and Lu Chenyu was silent and absolutely emotionless. She suddenly understood the fanaticism of those couple ship fans ** The food and drinks had been served. Huo Jingshen went outside to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he found his little girl holding a bottle of beer, drinking whileughing silly. -What are youughing at? a deep, maic male voice suddenly sounded. Su Wanwan quickly came back to her senses. As Huo Jingshen looked at her, she was wearing a pink sweatshirt, and even though she had removed the hood, she still looked incredibly young. Just like a high school student. But her holding the beer seemed somewhat out of ce Thinking of Nangong Cis words earlier, he softly said, Baby. What? Su Wenwen hurriedly put down her beer and moved away a bit from the edge of the sofa. They were still in the private room and although they were sitting in the corner of the sofa and the room was quite big There were only a few people in the room, but those ying cards on the other side just needed to turn around to see their position. Huo Jingshen gave a low chuckle. The distance between them was nothing more than a centimetre, or just a few millimetres. Su Wanwan held her breath, feeling as though shed beenpletely enveloped by his presence. He probably had a smoke while answering the phone call. There was a faint smell of cigarettes. The mans deep voice was as if ying a cello, softly maizing, To ensure you can concentrate on your exams, how many days has your husband not seen you for, can you still count them? Su Wanwan: Cough,cough. She had lost count. Huo Jingshen grabbed her hand and slowly leaned over. The voices of those ying cards in the distance vaguely came over. -Six sixes! I have six sixes ha ha ha ha ha who can beat me? Nangong, youre fucking cheating, arent you? What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person? Well, looking at you, you dont really have the brain for it. Damn it, Im not going to take that I 11 Suddenly. Holy shit! Big brother, what are you two doing? A man with no sense of timing spoke up. It was Nangong Ci. Huo Jingshen heard the sound and looked at him askance. He looked at him silently but oppressively. Nangong Ci blinked his peach blossom eyes for a few seconds, then turned his head away. For goodness sakes, unting their love in front of so many single guys in the room Even if theyve been found out, theyre still so cocky? It was as if he, the discoverer, did something wrong? Was it his fault for interrupting them? Su Wanwan had already stood up, Sorry, I have to go to the restroom. Huo Jingshen; Everyone else: Chapter 371: 371, CP is giving out candies Chapter 371: CP is giving out candies Womens restrooms. Su Wanwan tidied up herself and checked herself in the mirror before finally stepping out the door. She followed the signs down the dim, secluded hallway, only to find upon opening the door, that she recognized none of the people in the room. Im sorry. Oops. She had walked into the wrong room. Su Wanwan immediately closed the door and turned around, pacing back and forth in the hallway, but she just couldnt find her original room. She was in such a hurry to leave earlier that she didnt remember the name of the room, and she didnt have her phone on her This is bad. She was lost. While she was stuck in an awkward dilemma, she saw a familiar figure appear in front. ?j It was Xiao Yebai. As usual, he was wearing all ck with thin-rimmed oval sses. He appeared cool, schrly, and clear-cut C as if devoid of any warmth. But beside him There was a woman? The two disappeared around a corner in front, and Su Wanwan hurriedly followed after them. The soft, dark carpet muffled her footstepspletely, and she heard the soft conversation between the two. Yebai, I really cant thank you enough for your help this time. I dont know what I would have done without you. It was nothing, no need to be so polite. But, I feel so bad for taking such a long time of yours that day. Did your wife not me you when you got home? Wife? Su Wanwan perked up her ears. She heard Xiao Yebai say, Shes busy with her final exams right now. The woman chuckled, her voice as soft and pleasant as the trilling of a nightingale. I heard about your marriage when I was in America. I thought it was a joke at first. I never thought you would They entered a private room, and Su Wanwan could no longer hear the conversation. The woman was slender and pretty. Under her id mini skirt were straight slender legs in ck stockings, and her shoulder-length curly hair was fluffy and stylish. She had dimples when she smiled and emitted an aura of a chic urban officedy. As far as Su Wanwan could remember, besides Mo Weiyi and Xiao Zhiwei, this was the first time she saw another woman by Xiao Yebais side. Whats more, his tone was quite gentle. Her instincts as a woman hinted that something was off, especially considering how cold Xiao Yebai usually was, even to her. She had heard from Mo Weiyi before that due to the requirements set by her, Mo Family basically had no female employees under the age of thirty. Seeing the firmly shut door of the private room, Su Wanwan couldnt help but let her imagination run wild. Could there be only the two of them in the room? Did he deliberately set an impossible goal for Mo Weiyi, so she would spend all day studying at school, while he sneaked out to have affairs with other women? Damn! Su Wanwan couldnt bear it any longer. She quickly took a step forward and was about to push the door open when arge hand suddenly held hers back. At the same time, a deep, familiar voice sounded in her ears, What are you doing? Su Wanwan quickly said, I saw Xiao Yebai go in. Xiao Yebai? Huo Jingshen slightly raised his eyebrows, So? He s with a woman. I want to catch them in the act! Su Wanwan said seriously. Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, took her arm and led her back to their room. What are you doing? Dont pull me, hey! But no matter how much Su Wanwan struggled, she was no match for him. He took her back to the room. As soon as they opened the door, they heard a man reciting words into a microphone. [Their strength, their dreams, only they understand their hardships, unable to return to the past or see the future, its all so empty] He was indeed reciting into the microphone. With a deadpan expression, he read word for word following the big screen. It was originally a rap song with a strong rhythm, but Lu Chenyu turned it into a recital. On the sofa, Nangong Ci and Ming Jing wereughing hysterically, not forgetting to record a video with their phones. Hearing the noise, Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened even further. But after all, he was the birthday boy today, so he didnt say anything and sat down with Su Wanwan. Lu Chenyu finally finished a long verse, and Chu Xiuhuang who was sitting next to him picked up the microphone. [I drift towards the north, dont ask about my hometown, ancient towering walls cant hold back sorrow, I drift towards the north] Chu Xiuhuangs voice was low and rich, and when he sang, it was even more maic and mellow, surprisingly pleasing to the ear. After the two finished singing, the short video was posted on their Weibo Super Topic. Su Wanwan found her phone and opened Weibo to take a look. The post was made by a user called Brother Aci, and sure enough, the female fans below had gone crazy! Ahhh another day with a sugar dose from the Xiuhuang-Chenyu CP! Did you see the veins popping in Brother Fire Emperors neck? They are so attractive! Even his veins are attractive! Little Yuyu can actually rap, what a gem of a boy! Ahhh the high notes from Brother Fire Emperor are so good! I beg for Xiuhuang-Chenyu to release a single! Su Wanwan was about to dieughing. She immediately hit the follow button. Sister-inw, do you want to sing a duet with my brother? Ming Jing suddenly handed over the microphone. What do you want to sing? I can help you select it. Su Wanwan looked at Huo Jingshen, Can you sing? No. Huo Jingshen refused directly. Uh Sing this one, sing this! Nangong Ci shouted. The big screen was just ying Learn Cat Call. So Su Wanwan took the microphone and started singing. [Lets learn cat call together, meow meow meow together, acting cute in front of you, hey meow meow meow] When it came to the male part, Nangong Ci immediately took over. [I need your hug every day, I cherish every minute and second we are together, how important you are to me] Huo Jingshen was sitting on the side, his face as ck as the bottom of a pot. Finally, after the song was over, Ming Jing was pping his hands heartily, Nice, nice, nice! Huo Jingshen: Chu Xiuhuang on the side also raised an eyebrow, Except for the male voice being a bit disgusting, the whole song is perfect! Nangong Ci rolled his eyes: Even Lu Chenyu nodded, Not bad. So Nangong Ci immediately cheered up, Sister-inw, lets sing this one. Chen Keyus Umon Words. Su Wanwan said, Ill sing the beginning. Nangong Ci again: The music began. Su Wenwen sang, Our Chinese characters, written down, they be a collection of art, leaving a history of five thousand years It was Nangong Cistum. Demons, ghosts, standing alone, sharing the same breath, walking alone, pouring over the finest teachings Hahahaha Everyone wasughing uproariously, Su Wanwan wasughing so hard her shoulders were shaking, only Huo Jingshen. His face was as ck as a Bao Zheng, as if he was isted. Generation gap! Do you have it or not! After finishing the second song, Nangong Ci was energized, Sister-inw, lets sing this one. More than just like. Su Wanwan started singing, You know that my feelings for you are more than just like, but I cant find the answer I want in your eyes, this touch-and-go situation drives me crazy Huo Jingshen: He suddenly remembered that this song was the background music of the short video Su Wanwan and Ye Qitian madest time. When it came to the chorus, Nangong Ci raised the microphone, I dont know what to say hey, big brother, what are you doing! I havent even started singing yet, big brother Huo Jingshen had pulled Su Wanwan up and started to walk out. My phone, clothes, and bag! Su Wenwen called out. Huo Jingshen stopped, his voice was low and cold, Bring all of it. Ming Jing hurriedly ran to grab the things and hand them over. Huo Jingshen took them, leading Su Wanwan out like the wind. * * In the corridor, Su Wenwen kept grumbling all the way. I havent finished singing yet! Didnt you say I should go out and rx? I havent had much to drink yet! Really! I havent even said goodbye to the birthday person Ah! Su Wanwan just arrived at the car, almost not reacting in time, the back door of the car was opened, she was pushed in, and her vision went ck. The car door closed, other misceneous things were thrown forward haphazardly. You bastard, what are you doing Speak, keep speaking. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes and stopped talking. Why arent you speaking? Uh Su Wanwan felt her scalp tingle and quickly said, I wont speak anymore, get up quickly, be careful if someone sees! They were still on the public road outside, even though it was already dark, but what if they were seen by someone? They cant see inside from the outside. Huo Jingshen said, Try to make me angry again. Su Wanwan: How did she make him angry in the first ce? But seeing the dangerous little green light in someone s eyes She forced herself not to talkback any more. Huo Jingshen got out of the car and moved to the drivers seat. The ck Mu Shang slowly pulled away. Not long after, the phone rang suddenly. Su Wanwan took a look. It was actually Nangong Ci who called, had he left something in the box? She quickly answered, Hello. Chapter 372: 372, license plate number Chapter 372: license te number Little sister-inw. Nangong Ci chuckled on the other end, What were you and big brother up to in the back seat? Su Wanwan was taken aback, What back seat? Dont y dumb with me, I saw it with my own eyes. I recognized big brothers license te number clearly, N696969, a ck Bentley. Su Wanwan: Hehehe. Nangong Ciughed wickedly, Could it be that you two were But thats strange, it hasnt been that long. Is big brother really that impatient Without letting him finish, Su Wanwan quickly hung up, ring furiously at the man driving. Needless to say, Huo Jingshen noticed, although he didnt lookback. Whats wrong? Nangong Ci saw us just now! Su Wanwan ground her teeth, How ami supposed to face your brothers now? Given how big Nangong Cis mouth was, he was surely gossiping with his other friends by now. Its so embarrassing! Its over, its over. Su Wanwan felt utterly disgraced, even though they hadnt actually done anything wrong, but The fear of public opinion is real! Her phone rang again. It was Nangong Ci again. Su Wanwan didnt want to pick up and quickly hung up. However, he kept calling back. He kept ringing non-stop. At a red light, Huo Jingshen stopped the car and calmly reached out, Give it to me. Su Wanwan quickly passed her phone to Huo Jingshen. As soon as Huo Jingshen answered, he could hear Nangong Ci casually saying, Little sister-inw, I really pity you. Seriously, whats up with big brother? Couldnt he have waited? Its noteven nine oclock and hes dragging you out for a car ride. Simply outrageous hehehe Are you done? A chilling voice made the phone suddenly go silent. Continue. Huo Jingshens voice was cold. But how would Nangong Ci dare to continue? By now, the green light was on. Huo Jingshen, narrowing his eyes, said, Seems like youre asking to be kicked off the board. No, big brother! Nangong Ci finally spoke, Big brother, the lights green, you should start driving. His eyebrow twitched, Huo Jingshen quickly looked up at the rearview mirror. Sure enough, a shy red sports car was parked not far behind. It was Nangong Cis Ferrari. Get lost! Having said that, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone. As his car moved out, he quickly dialed another number. * * Nangong Ci drove his sports car, asionally checking WeChat. Because a heart surgery was scheduled for 10 oclock the next morning, about 10 minutes after Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan left, he also left the club. Who knew that as soon as he got to the roadside, he saw that ck Mu Shang still there. Since it was parked right next to his beloved car, Nangong Ci was puzzled. Its been 10 minutes, why is the car still there? What are they up to? Moreover, he couldnt see inside Huo Jingshens car anymore since it had been tinted, unlike before. So Nangong Ci sneakily waited behind for a while and He really did see something! As he saw Huo Jingshen, looking flustered,ing out of the back door and, for a split second as the door closed, he noticed a pair of womens feet on the car seat Those were the white UGG snow boots that Su Wanwan was wearing. He immediately took out his phone and shared a short video in the group. Once Huo Jingshens car drove off, he quickly got into his sports car and followed closely. Indeed, the WJY group chat was blowing up. Nangong Ci: [What do you think they were doing in the back seat?] Behind it was a sneaky emoji. MingJing: [] Lu Chenyu: [] ChuXiuhuang: [] Nangong Ci: [I calcted the time, they were only there for 10 minutes.] Chu Xiuhuang: [A legendary quick shot?] MingJing: [Pff!] Lu Chenyu: [The world is going downhill!] Chu Xiuhuang: [Worse than beasts!] Lu Chenyu: [Worse than pigs and dogs!] Chu Xiuhuang: [Simply not human!] After all, the group only had men, and they were all close, and while Huo Jingshen didnt check the group often, it was a great opportunity to tarnish his reputation Just as Nangong Ci was chuckling, unexpectedly, his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, hurriedly, he answered, Grandma? Aci, have you been racing again? No, I havent. Really? Just now Jingshen called and told me you were racing, with a woman in the car. Quickly tell grandma, whats her name? How old is she? What does she do? Whats her family situation? What stage are you two at? When are you going to bring her home for dinner? NangongCi: Youre not exactly young anymore, almost twenty-seven. At your age, your dad was already running errands for your grandfather. You need to step it up, make it quick. Bring your girlfriend home these next few days to meet me, Nangong Ci gave no response. After finally soothing the olddy, half an hour had already passed. This caused Nangong Cis handsome face to twitch uncontrobly. They even went behind his back to gossip! How shameless! * * The room on the eighth floor. Not long after Nangong Ci left, Ming Jing also took off. Only Chu Xiuhuang and Lu Chenyu remained in the room. Chu Xiuhuang didnt mind, he continued drinking. Anyway, every time he drank, only Lu Chenyu would apany him to the end. Even though Chenyu spoke little and drank less, for the most part, it was Xiuhuang drinking alone. But the two of them could sit together for a whole night, just like now. The night was cool, and the room was tranquil. Finally, when it was midnight, Lu Chenyu broke the silence. Your birthday has passed. Chu Xiuhuang opened his bloodshot eyes, tinted with alcohol, he seemed somewhat drunk. Lu Chenyu picked up his phone and dialed a number, Jidu Club, room 802. After hanging up, he rose to his feet, Lets go. After a while, the rooms door was knocked twice before being opened. Shi Huan stood at the entrance, looking around the spacious room. As she noted that only Chu Xiuhuang was in it, she walked in without hesitation. Mr. Chu. Since it was indoors, Chu Xiuhuang was wearing a thin ck sweater and a pair of slim ck pants. He was sitting on the sofa, his head slumped against the back of the chair, looking defeated and drowsy, As if he had drunk himself into oblivion. Shi Huan approached and her gaze inevitablynded on his face. His eyes were thin and phoenix-like, eyebrows arched at the ends, his nose high and straight like a fine carving, almost perfect. His face, when in rest, was picturesque, like a mesmerizing male protagonist in an animated series she was fond of when she was a young girl. It was so good-looking as if defying scrutiny. But s When he was awake, he was nothing like that. Mr. Chu? Are you drunk? Shi Huan raised her voice. Chu Xiuhuang finally begrudged to open his thin, long eyes. When he saw the small woman standing in front of him, his thin lips curled, his whole face gleaming, like colorful light, Little Huanhuan, you came to get me. He cast a nce around him, Wheres Fourth Brother? He left. Shi Huan queried, Can you get up by yourself? Do you think I can? Chu Xiuhuang countered. Shi Huan: From his voice, he didnt sound drunk at all. But all she could do was to reach for his arm to pull him up. Shi Huan swayed for a while, then finally Ah! A part of her leg got propped by something, and she immediately fell backward. Chu Xiuhuang fell back as well. So then Ouch! Shi Huan couldnt help but cry out in pain again. She felt like swearing! Because Chu Xiuhuang was way too heavy! She felt as though she was about to stop breathing Just so happened, it was that time of the month for her, females usually dont feel well during this time. With his weight of over a hundred pounds weighing straight down, she was in unbearable pain. After catching her breath for a while, Shi Huan finally said, Mr. Chu, youre drunk. I need you to get up so I can find a waiter for assistance. She didnt have the strength to lift him up. In the past, whenever he was drunk, waitstaff would usually be asked to help. To her surprise, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly pulled a strand of her hair, and said hazily, Its wet. Shi Huan frowned, I was washing my hair at home. As soon as I finished, I came right away to pick you up. She received Lu Chenyuscall halfway when she was washing her hair, and she rushed over immediately. Chu Xiuhuang chuckled. Suddenly, he moved closer towards her face and sniffed, like a small puppy. Then, he sniffed once more. Nice fragrance. At his words, Shi Huan frowned even more, Mr. Chu, can you get up first? She stretched her hand out to push him but found him immovable. Instead, she tired herself out. Shi Huan panted, gathering all her strength for a big push, when suddenly the mans face moved straight towards hers Stunned by the suddenness, Shi Huan gasped in surprise. Chapter 373: 373, Secretary during the Year of the Rabbit Chapter 373: Secretary during the Year of the Rabbit The next day, Huangyou made an investment. Around eleven oclock noon, assistant Xiaoliu nced at the time and came over, Sister Shi, the weather is great outside today. Lets go to New World for y pot rice. Todays daily soup seems to be ck chicken soup, it seems to be on sale. Sure. Shi Huan turned off her document and stood up. Iming too! And me. Together together. Everyone grabbed their coats and walked out of the secretarial room. The few of them who had just graduated from college were female students. They walked and discussed the ever-popr topic of male idols. I think Luo Yunxi is so handsome! 1 like Deng Lun, his skin is very white, the kind of white that shines! Whats your taste, my Zhu Yilong is the most handsome! Zhu Yilong looks so charming when he wears sses, doesnt he! Yes, yes, Hove him best in Guardian! A Guardian girl too? Me too, me too Shi Huan didnt recognize any of these male celebrities names. She walked at the front of the line, looking down at her phone, preparing to ask Luoluo if her health was better. The weather recently suddenly turned cold, and the little one got a morous cold yesterday, sneezing while dressing in the morning. Young Master Chu! Hearing this name, Shi Huan quickly looked up. Everyone else also greeted one after another. Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu, good noon! Hello, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuang stood in the bright corridor. He should just have arrived at thepany, wearing a fine ck coat, with his long legs straight and upright. No different from his usual, still impable, handsome, and attractive, except Seeing that obvious bite mark on his pretty lower lip, Shi Huans heart thumped. The rest of the colleagues naturally saw it too, but dared not ask. Each suspected it must be the work of some little demon. Sister Shi. Xiaoliu nudged Shi Huans arm, whispering to remind, Call him quickly. Shi Huan regained herposure, nodded busily and greeted, Good noon, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuangs sharp eyes narrowed and fell directly on her face. She held a long ck down jacket in her hand, and was wearing an unchanged ck suit throughout the year. Still the same shoulder-length hair and a pair of ck-rimmed ssesrge enough to cover half of her fair face. Everyone was a bit nervous. Young Master Chu may not have a great temper, but he rarely behaves so childishly, blocking the hallway with such a dark face and not speaking. Whats going on? Shi Huan was also made uneasy by his stare. She squeezed her fingers and could only speak first, Young Master Chu, were going downstairs for lunch. After saying this, she took a step forward. Who knew that when she reached him, Chu Xiuhuang still stood blocking the way without moving. The nervousness on everyones faces increased. Then- Chu Xiuhuangs thin lips finally parted, The boss hasnt eaten yet, and you subordinates are hasty to go downstairs, is this appropriate? Shi Huan was taken aback. The others quickly reacted: Sister Shi, well go first. Yeah, Sister Shi, what do you want to eat? We can get it for you. Or just let me knowter on WeChat. Bye, Sister Shi. Chu Xiuhuang slightly moved his body, the others immediately passed him, and then hurried into the elevator. The moment the door closed, the elevator was filled with chatter. Secretary Shi has it tough! Isnt Young Master Chu too strict with her? He wont let her go to lunch, and she has to help him order takeaways first! So pitiful, even with a high sry, I wouldnt want to be Secretary Shi! Yeah, lets just continue being assistants. Its easier. * * In the hallway, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his chin, striding towards the office with his long, straight legs. Shi Huan quickly furrowed her brows and had no choice but to follow him. Reaching the office, Chu Xiuhuang took off his coat and carelessly threw it onto the sofa. Sinking into the boss chair, he crossed one leg over the other. So when Shi Huan came in, she saw Chu Xiuhuang dangerously seated behind the ck office desk, half-closing his eyes, just staring at her. Chu what do you want for lunch? Shi Huan behaved as if she hadnt noticed his anger, taking out her phone to start work, The steak set from Dihong or one from Jinsheng My mouth hurts. Shi Huan: Chu Xiuhuang continued, Didnt I just bump into youst night? Is it necessary to bite me like this, huh? Secretary Shi, are you a dog? I thought you were born in the year of the rabbit? Mr. Chu. Shi Huan put down her phone, neither servile nor overbearing, her voice rigid and formal, Im sorry,st night was my fault. Her good attitude slightly eased the anger in Chu Xiuhuangs eyes, but Is sorry enough? Do you realize, you are the first woman in the world to dare bite my lips! Chu Xiuhuang, tapping the desk with his fingers making tok tok tok sounds, showing his dissatisfaction, And, you left me in the private roomst night! Since Mr. Chu is in the office now, it means that you made it home safelyst night. You Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fist in anger. Last night was his best buddys birthday. He got carried away and drank a little too much. Then Shi Huan came to pick him up from the private room, and somehow both of them ended up on the sofa. At the time, he seemed to smell a familiar scent. It was like a mix of citrus and floral, light, sweet, with a touch of mystery He didnt know what happened to him. At that moment, he just saw her talking non-stop, without any lipstick on The second their lips made contact, the woman began struggling with all her might. Of course he wouldnt let go, so he fought back just as stubbornly. And then She bit him. She bit him damn hard. His mouth hurt instantly, blood flowing out, the taste of iron sobrietying up his drunkenness. When he realized the woman was his secretary Shi, he immediately jumped off the sofa, only for This damned woman to run away without looking back! Making him feel like some kind of monster Thinking aboutst night, Chu Xiuhuangs devilishly attractive eyes darkened a little more. After some thought, he asked in a deep voice, You reacted so intensely, could it be becausest night was your first time? As inyour first kiss?? Shi Huan, still expressionless, seemed disturbed only briefly. Then she continued with her emotionless answer, Mr. Chu, youre overthinking it. , Although I dont have as much romantic experience as you,st night wasnt my first. If she hadnt said that, Chu Xiuhuang would have been less annoyed. Now he got up from his chair and mmed his long leg on the carpet, If it wasnt, then why the hell did you resist so much? Do you knowyou caused my lip to bleed. Shi Huan: Two secondster, she lowered her head, Im sorry, Mr. Chu, would you like me to get a band-aid for you? No! Need! Chu Xiuhuang red at her, grinding his teeth, I want you to look at my bitten lip every day and regret the mistake you made! Shi Huan: Starting from today, Ille to the office at nine in the morning and leave at five in the afternoon. Ill attend all thepany meetings, and you He pointed at Shi Huan, You must look at me every day and repent in your heart. Shi Huan once again: Whats on the agenda this afternoon? Chu Xiuhuang changed the subject. Shi Huan quickly gathered her thoughts and answered, At two oclock, theres a financial department meeting aboutst months fund flow. At three, its training for new secretaries. At four, were discussing the propertyunch with HuoYuan Ill go to HuoYuan with you at four. Okay. Shi Huan looked at him, Mr. Chu, do you have any other instructions? Get me some food. Chu Xiuhuang enunciated every word, I want the same thing as you. Sure, Mr. Chu, Ill go downstairs now to get your lunch personally. After finishing, Shi Huan turned and left. When the door closed, Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone. But just after reading a piece of news, he began to think aboutst night in the private room again. Who wouldve thought This Shi Huan, while appearing so drab and boring on the outside, tasted quite sweet With a bang, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly put his phone back on the desk. He lowered his head. The long, narrow eyes of his showed a moment of shock. Damn! It mustve been too long since he wasst with a woman! Chapter 374: 374, Forced to conduct business to make a Chapter 374: Forced to conduct business to make a living It was past three in the afternoon when Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan left thepany, one after the other. Upon reaching the underground parking garage, he walked to the car and habitually started to pull on the rear door handle. He made contact but then let go, instead moving two steps forward, pulled open the car door and took a seat in the passenger seat. As Shi Huan got into the car, Chu Xiuhuang leaned back onto the seat, one hand supporting his graceful head, and one tapping rhythmically on his long leg, with his eyes slightly closed and said casually, Secretary Shi, if my big brother asked what happened to my lips when we arrive at Huo Yuan, what should I say? Shi Huan turned the key in the ignition, Master Chu, youre overthinking it, a mature and steady man like Mr. Huo certainly wont notice anything about your lips. Chu Xiuhuang: * * The car smoothly pulled out. Chu Xiuhuang maintained his original position, his gaze consistently rested on Shi Huans face. After a while, Shi Huan finally couldnt help but speak up, Master Chu, is there something on my face that I didn t clean off? No. Chu Xiuhuang replied but continued to watch her unwaveringly. Shi Huan: Some time passed again. Shi Huan frowned, Master Chu, Im notfortable being watched while Im driving. Really? Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow and suddenly asked, What brand of shampoo do you use? Shi Huan was taken aback. Buy me a case of it and send it to my vi tomorrow. Chu Xiuhuang continued, then added, They should have a mens version, right? Shi Huan thought about it, I dont think so. How is that possible? All care products have mens and womens versions. Chu Xiuhuang thought his secretary was deliberately misleading him. But who knew Master Chu, I use amon brand, not those international ones like you. They dont separate their versions into mens or womens. Also, when I bought it, it was during supermarket promotions- C three bottles for 50 yuan, which could be used for the entire year. ChuXiuhuang: Master Chu, do you still want it? Shi Huan thought, a man of noble background and great taste in life like Master Chu would want the most expensive and the best of everything. He surely would not appreciate hermon brand products. She had once apanied him to an antiques market, where an inconspicuous small dish that seemed rather inappropriate for her to dip dumplings in caught his fancy. He didnt blink an eye in paying five million for it. How could such a man possibly I want it. Upon hearing this, Shi Huan almost mmed on the brakes. She couldnt understand his thought process. But since the young master of the Chu family said he wanted it, Shi Huan nodded, Alright, tonight Ill go to the supermarket to see if there is any promotional event going on. The price is 50 yuan for 3 bottles, a case is 20 bottles, so it would be Ill transfer you 10,000 yuan. Shi Huan hurriedly spoke out, Theres no need for that much. Its fine, just remember at next big supermarket sale that your boss is interested. Chu Xiuhuang said half-jokingly. Shi Huan was struck dumb: Alright. The prestigious Young Master Chu would actually use cheap shampoo that costs 3 bottles for 50 yuan? If this were to get out, what would his crazy female fans think? Shi Huan couldnt help but shiver at the thought. * Fourty minutester, at the headquarters of the Huo Yuan Group. As soon as Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan walked into the 5oth-floor meeting room, they saw the two representatives of Bingos creative team already seated. Master Chu? Shen Bingbing immediately stood up, her finely drawn eyes locked onto Chu Xiuhuangs face. Are you personally attending todays meeting? She had been coborating with Huangyou for several years, but had not met Chu Xiuhuang more than three times. Even when she went to Huangyou for meetings or attended some ceremonial events, Chu Xiuhuang was always elusive. In truth, although Huangyou was invested and established by Chu Xiuhuang, most of the work was taken care of by Secretary Shi. Secretary Shi was more like the real person in charge of Huangyou. Hence, the habit of having work discussions with Secretary Shi was the norm, never expecting Chu Xiuhuang would personally attend such a minor meeting today. Upon close inspection, Chu Xiuhuang appeared even more handsome and charming, his facial features subtly soft and gentle. Mrs Chu was of Chinese-Russian descent, so the Chu family members had a bit of mixed blood, with high cheekbones, slender faces, the same narrow phoenix eyes being the standard for everyone. At first nce, they all naturally possessed a certain nobility. In the words of the media, Chu Xiuhuang had what people called the imperial appearance! Shen Bingbing was so excited that she wanted to shake hands with Chu Xiuhuang. This would have beenpletely impossible in the past. Chu Xiuhuang was notably hygienic, even femalepanions were not allowed to touch his hands directly, at most they could only arm-link over his clothes. However now Chu Xiuhuang lifted his hand and shook hers gentlemanly. Meanwhile, his long phoenix eyes nced at Shi Huan. Years of tacit understanding allowed Shi Huan to suppress her surprise instantly. She stepped forward and whispered, Bingos Creative Director Shen Bingbing. Director Shen. Chu Xiuhuang separated his thin lips, revealing a slight smile. Shen Bingbing felt as if all the pear trees had blossomed at once, the smile made her world burst into radiant colors and spring-like jubtion. Her face lit up instantaneously, her eyes filled with ayer of unspoken sentiment, her voiceden with charm, I didnt expect that Mr. Chu would remember me. This waspletely unexpected and ttering. Miss Shen, being a capable and beautiful working woman and our longstanding partner at Huangyou, how could I possibly forget? Chu Xiuhuang continued smiling. As expected, his words tickled Shen Bingbing pink, Mr. Chu certainly knows howto tter. No, no, no. Chu Xiuhuang withdrew his hand at the right moment. Shen Bingbing paused in surprise. I, Chu Xiuhuang, always tell the truth. I onlypliment women I admire, like Miss Shen. Shen Bingbingsughter fluttered uncontrobly, as she was exceedingly delighted. Watching Chu Xiuhuang take a seat, she went over and sat next to him. She didnt expect Chu Xiuhuang to be so approachable, talkative, and friendly,pletely different from the rumors. She had always believed that in Nancheng, among the wealthy families, men like Huo Jingshen, who were handsome and ssy, were the most captivating. But after personally interacting with Chu Xiuhuang today, she suddenly felt that President Huo was somewhat too reserved, always keeping people at arms length. And he was already married. Byparison, indeed like Chu Xiuhuang, a single noble man, was more attractive to women. At this time, Shi Huan also found a seat on the other side, opened herptop, she was just about to check the questions she was going to present but was constantly interrupted byughter. Most of them were the high-spirited, flirty voices of women, asionally apanied by Chu Xiuhuangs deep and attractive voice. Shi Huan couldnt help but wrinkle her brow. Shen Bingbing was twenty-five this year. If youre talking about appearance C Nondescript. If you re talking about work ability C Mediocre at best. If you re talking about family wealth C just as ordinary as anyone could be. If she was chosen to be Chus femalepanion in the past, he would have found it absolutely banal, why is he so enthusiastic about her today? Has he be desperate? Thinking about the kissst night It must be it. Due to Chus old mans intensive arrangement of blind dates, she indeed hadn t arranged any femalepanions for Chu. Even at Chus old mans birthday banquet, it was her who apanied him. Shi Huan quickly opened her nner and wrote in delicate handwriting,. Starting today, make reservations for femalepanions for Mr. Chu. By the way, Mr. Chu. Shen Bingbings voice suddenly rose again, What happened to your lips? At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Immediately following that, Huo Jingshen walked in first, followed by his special assistant and several key staff members from the operations and nning departments. Hello, everyone. Huo Jingshen scanned the room. Finally, his gazended on Chu Xiuhuangs face. Chu Xiuhuang immediately smiled at him, Hello, what would you like to ask, brother? Do you want to ask what happened to my lips? Come on, ask, ask now! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. His cold voice smooth and calm, Has the sun risen from the west today? What are you doing here? ChuXiuhuang: Damn! He didnt want to answer. Shi Huan, who was nearby, hastily spoke up, President Huo, since some of the suggestions in the case were proposed by Mr. Chu, he is also here to attend this discussion. Oh. Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, pulling out his chair to sit down, I thought Huangyou was going bankrupt. His underlying meaning was that the boss was forced toe out and scout for work. Shi Huan: Chu Xiuhuang rolled his eyes in annoyance, Got bitten by the bunny at home. Huo Jingshen scowled and looked over, other people in the room also confounded. For a moment, nobody knew why Chu, the young master, would make such ament? The recently inquisitive Shen Bingbing quickly chimed in cheerfully, So it was bitten by a bunny. Yes, the little rabbit at my home is so wild. After Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, he nced intentionally at Shi Huan beside him, Its a ck bunny! Shi Huan: Chapter 375: 375, so charming and enticing Chapter 375: so charming and enticing As the meeting had not yet begun, people from the other side were also making light-hearted conversation. No wonder they say, even a bunny can bite when cornered. Turns out, Young Master Chu is just like Boss Huo, they both love having pets Boss Huos German Shepard is called KO, right? Chu Xiuhuangughed, Yes, and the name of this little bunny I have at home is Pao Pao. Pao Pao? Shen Bingbing thought, isnt that a cute name? The next second, Chu Xiuhuangs voice echoed again with a malicious tone, Yes, I really enjoy ying it at home. Pffft!1 Ji Jie burst intoughter as he understood the joke. The others also cough,cough,cough! They were struggling to suppress theirughter. Several women in the room were blushing with embarrassment. Only Shi Huan maintain a poker face, seemingly immune to it all. I think youll have more fun sleeping at home. Huo Jingshen shot him an icy re. Nah. Chu Xiuhuang continued the banter, I think its more fun discussing Pao Pao with you, big brother. Huo Jingshen: Everyone: A brief silence ensued. Lets start. With a handsome face, Huo Jingshen announced stoically. Only then did Chu Xiuhuang stop poking fun and sit properly. Just by looking, he seemed serious enough. Shi Huan didnt have time to care about anything else, she put all her focus into the meeting. Today, since Chu Xiuhuang specifically forbade bringing assistants, Shi Huan was required to do all the proposal, discussion, and note-taking work. After an hour-long meeting, her throat was already hoarse from speaking. Finally, at the close of the meeting, she picked up the tea in front of her, took several gulps, then got up, Boss Huo, I will collect all the issues and discuss possible solutions when I return to thepany. By tomorrow morning at thetest, I will send an email to your inbox. Theres no need to rush. Huo Jingshen nced at Chu Xiuhuang, After all, tomorrow is the weekend. Shi Huan startled, then nodded, Okay, thank you, Boss Huo. Huo Jingshen slightly nodded, and left quickly. Chu Xiuhuang got up and followed. Shen Bingbing wanted to follow too, but Chu Xiuhuang suddenly stopped and told Shi Huan, Wait for me in the car. Alright, Young Master Chu. Shen Bingbing helplessly followed Shi Huan out. * * Upon entering the office Big bro, quickly, wet wipes, quickly give me wet wipes. Huo Jingshen: While Chu Xiuhuang was meticulously wiping his handsome fingers clean with wet wipes, Huo Jingshen spoke in a low tone filled with disdain, You can leave now. You came to my office just to clean your fingers? After Chu Xiuhuang finished wiping his fingers and saw his clean hands resume their previous state, he let out a sign of relief. Tossing the used wet wipes away, he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Huo Jingshen, his eyes fixed on him. Huo Jingshen: His deep eyes narrowed, his expression growing darker. Just as he was about to lose his temper Big bro. Chu Xiuhuang broke the silence, What do you think about office romance? Huo Jingshen coldly red at him, Which poor female employee has caught your eye? Considering Chu Xiuhuangs flirtatious nature, although he had been behaving for a while due to his blind date, still You cant change a dogs eating habits! Naturally, Huo Jingshen assumed he had taken a liking to a female employee of Huangyou. As expected. Chu Xiuhuang admitted, Indeed, it is a female employee. But Having a liking for? No, no, no. He was just fantasizing thats all. Huo Jingshen got up without hesitation, Im not interested in your personal matters. But I want to talk about it with you. Chu Xiuhuang licked his lips, After all, everyone else is a bachelor. Although you dont have much romance experience, youve had many scandals in the past, and youve met all sorts of women. Plus youre married now and have a trophy wife, your experience is just too vast Big bro, where are you going? Huo Jingshen grabbed his car keys and jacket and said arrogantly, Picking my wife up from school. Holy shit, why are you picking her up from school so early? Taking my wifes ssmates out for dinner tonight. Going out to dinner with students? Chu Xiuhuang burst intoughter, Stop joking, big bro. A 30-year-old CEO like you going out for dinner with female college students? The generation gap is huge, what can you possibly talk about with them? Do you understand what young girls like these days? Dont scare them off. A wifeless bachelor like you wouldnt understand. Huo Jingshen said, nonchntly. He then opened the door and walked out. Chu Xiuhuang: * * * When they reached the underground parking lot, Huo Jingshen coldly drove off, while Chu Xiuhuang walked over to a ck Cayenne car nearby. He opened the car door and sat in, Xiaohuan, what do you think of office romance? Shi Huan didnt say anything, she simply gestured with her eyes. By then Shen Bingbings sweet voice wasing from the back, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuangs temples pulsed twice. Damn it. Why is this flirty woman still here? Shen Bingbing sweetly exined, Something came up at home for one of my subordinates, so I need to return to thepany. Thats why Im catching a lift with Secretary Shi. Shi Huan chuckled without humor at her candid lie. Chu Xiuhuang leaned back casually, In that case, Secretary Shi, you can first drop Miss Shen off at thepany, then head to my house. Shen Bingbing was ecstatic, she didnt think twice about it. Being a secretary naturally meant catering to all aspects of professional and personal life. Moreover, Shi Huan was not at all attractive. Her constant old-maid attire of ck suit and ck-framed sses was enough to scare off ny-nine percent of men. Mr. Chu. swiftly scrolling through her phone, Shen Bingbing asked, Are you interested in the calligraphy and painting exhibition? She had quickly performed an online search. The Chu family were renowned for their love of literature, Chu Xiuhuangs twin sister was a famous figure in the world of traditional Chinese painting, and Chu Xiuhuang himself was a double PhD in business and literature. If she wanted to get closer to Chu Xiuhuang, starting from his areas of interest would be the best Not interested. Chu Xiuhuang rejected coldly. Shen Bingbing hurriedly continued scrolling, There seems to be a museum exhibition recently, and a drama performance as well Stop the car. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly spoke up. Shi Huan immediately pulled over. Chu Xiuhuang reached out to open the car door and got out directly. Shen Bingbing was surprised, Mr. Chu, why are you The car door was mmed shut. Shi Huan quickly drove off again. Shen Bingbing was still a bit dumbfounded, Secretary Shi, why did Mr. Chu suddenly get out of the car? Shi Huan tone was cid, Mr. Chu likes to have a drink after finishing his work. Oh. Shen Bingbing felt absolutely deted, Secretary Shi, Mr. Chu should be at the press conference as well, right? Yes. Chu Xiuhuang had said that he was going to be in the office from nine to five every day recently. Since that was the case, he would definitely participate in importantpany events. So Shen Bingbing immediately cheered up again. When she got back to thepany, she practically walked in while humming a tune. Bingbing, whats got you so happy? The one who asked the question was Qiao Zixin. She had intentionally tried to meet with Huo Jingshenst time, but instead got burnt by cigarette and bitten by a dog on her foot. Not to mention being scolded by Su Yunrong for a long period, she even took a week off due to the injury and then continually got vinated against dog diseases at the epidemic prevention station. The project with Huo Yuan that she and Shen Bingbing were in charge of was now handled by someone else. She was a neer, naturally, she didnt dare to express her opinion too much. Today, Shen Bingbing took another subordinate to see Huo Yuan and she had no means to do anything about it. Seeing Shen Bingbing looking so happy, she could only conclude that something good must have happened during the meeting. Once Shen Bingbing had put her bag down, she immediately pulled Qiao Zixin all the way to the pantry. Once the door was closed, she excitedly said, I saw Mr. Chu today. Mr. Chu? Qiao Zixin felt disappointed, thinking it was something about Huo Jingshen. Yes, the eldest young master of the Chu family, hes really handsome up close, and I want to pursue him. Shen Bingbing eximed excitedly, For men of his reputation, if there is a problem with the woman, they will easily get her pregnant. As long as I get a chance to sleep with him, wouldnt the position of the young missus of the Chu family be mine? Qiao Zixin deliberately poured cold water on her, Mr. Chu has had so many girlfriends before, but no one has ever entered the Chu familys door. Hes ruthless when he dumps people and never shows mercy to beauties Nonsense! Shen Bingbing red at her, Those are all made up by the media. After interacting with Mr. Chu today, I feel that hes very approachable. After the meeting ended, he even had his secretary drive me back to thepany. Qiao Zixin: If he didn t have any feelings for me, why would he be so considerate? Shen Bingbing felt more and more pleased as she thought about it. As long as she gets a chance, its only a matter of time before she enters the Chu familys door. Would she still need to go to work every day in the future? Or even have to please those ugly and old men for the sake of her performance? Zixin, Youre just too indecisive! If you ask me, arent you interested in Mr. Huo? Quickly look for an opportunity to get on him! Shen Bingbing nudged her, hinting non-stop, Even if he doesnt want to take responsibility afterward, youll still benefit a lot, right? After all, you slept with him, so it will not be a disadvantage for you! Qiao Zixin: * * * Elsewhere, Huo Jingshen drove to Nancheng University. After sending the young girl a WeChat message, he got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and casually leaned against the front of the car to wait. It was freezing in December. Passersby rushed past, each of them dressed in bloated, heavy cotton jackets, wrapped up like dumplings. Only he, rxed and casual, wore a ck coat. His tall and upright figure, distinct handsome features, mature and restrained demeanor, coupled with his luxury car Like a natural shining entity, he attracted the gazes and whispers of the passing female students. Finally, a few girls came out from inside. His dark eyes immediately focused on the one in the middle. Su Wanwan wore a thick white down jacket that reached her knees, paired with denim jeans and pink snow boots. She wore a red hat and a red scarf, looking a bit cute in her chunkiness. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, immediately triggering a gasp from the girls. As he walked towards them with his long strides, the whispered discussions became more excited. Wanwan, your boyfriend is so handsome! He even drove a luxury car to pick us up! Oh no, hesing over. Im so nervous! Is he really inviting us for dinner? Su Wanwan: She had no idea what had gone wrong with Huo Jingshen, suddenly wanting to invite her ssmates for a meal! They had already agreed that she would spend the next month helping Mo Weiyi study for exams. While she was in her afternoon study session, he suddenly called, saying he wanted to thank her ssmates for helping clear up the forum postsst time. Please! That incident had already happened a month ago! Also, because Huo Jingshen had specifically instructed at the time, the disciplinary noticeter issued by the school only said that Lin Qiao and Zhou Xiaohan were punished because of viciously defamatory postings. There was no disclosure of Su Wanwans marriage. There was no news about it in the newspapers either. So apart from those present that day, the whole school thought Su Wanwan had unjustly been sshed with dirty water and had her reputation restored. They had no clue about the inside story. Su Wanwan felt this was quite alright. However, from that day onwards, those two girls in her ss started paying herpliments and showing their goodwill. Other than Mo Weiyi, she didnt have many friends at school. She couldnt possibly invite the boys for the meal Huo Jingshen was hosting. Afraid that Zhao Qianqian would feel ufortable alone, she had to include those two girls. Unexpectedly, the moment they heard about the dinner, they spent the entire afternoon in their dormitory carefully dressing up. Even though it was freezing today, with the outdoor temperature close to zero, the two wore dresses, heavy makeup, and stilettos, trembling in the cold wind When Huo Jingshen approached, their trembles intensified. The three girls had little contact with people in society. Huo Jingshens powerful identity and standing were obvious. Combined with his aura, their inhibitions All these factors together made them uneasy and wary. They didnt dare to speak out of turn. Until Baby. As Huo Jingshen said this, Su Wanwans legs went weak without reason. The three girls, on the other hand, had their eyes wide open in shock. What the hell! Baby? When Mr. Huo called her that, his tone was deep, maic and gentle, making their hearts flutter. They were publicly disying affection Huo Jingshen had already taken Su Wanwans little hand and spoke in a low voice, Arent you going to introduce me first, dear? After a couple of coughs, Su Wanwan had no choice but to raise her hand and introduce her friends one by one, This is Zhao Qianqian, this is Li Xiaolin, and this is Wu Ying, all ssmates from my ss. Chapter 376: 376, Yan dog Huo total Chapter 376: Yan dog Huo total Huo Jingshen looked around. Indeed, among the four, his darling was the most beautiful! The others have no idea that Huo Jing Shen wasparing their looks internally. Together they greeted, Hello, Boss Huo. This was something they had discussed earlier. Given Huo Jing Shens formidable credentials and the fact that he was ten years older than them, calling him uncle would be disrespectful, brother would be too crude, so the only option was to call him Boss Huo. As expected, Boss Huo was pleased, curling his thin lips, Darling, what about me? Su Wenwen had no choice but to say, This is my husband, Huo Jingshen. Hello, Boss Huo! the three chimed together again. This time, even the corners of Huo Jingshens mouth curled up, making his voice rather gentle, Its cold outside, lets get in the car first. Having said that, he led Su Wanwan toward the car by her hand. The three followed behind, whispering in discussion: I didnt expect Boss Huo to be sodown to earth! I thought all overbearing bosses would be super assertive. He even said its cold outside, rushing us to get in the car. He is just so rtable ** Huo Jingshen was driving with Su Wanwan sitting in the passenger seat, the three girls squeezed together in the backseat. Once the car started moving, the three began to chat. Due to Huo Jingshens presence they didnt dare to be too boisterous, and could only discuss academic and school matters. First, they talked about the English proficiency test that just took ce yesterday. Then they discussed preparations for the final exam. The restaurant was located quite far away, andstly, they started talking about the intern field trip next semester. I heard Professor Wang saying that they n to take the two sses to Sanya for a field trip this year! Sanya? Seriously? I heard they went to Mount Taist year, and it was exhausting. Sanya should be nice, then we can go to the beach! I need to start losing weight, or else, I wouldnt be able to wear a bikini by then! Wow, does that mean we can see the campus hottie in his swimming trunks At the drivers seat, Huo Jingshens slender fingers tightened around the steering wheel, an eyebrow twitching. The beach? A bikini? The campus hottie in swimming trunks? He felt extremely ufortable hearing these phrases. ** They finally reached Xiaoye Garden. Thats right, the rustic-themed restaurant that Chu Xiuhuang owned. As soon as they entered, someone came to wee them, Big Brother. Then, he looked at Su Wanwan standing beside and greeted her with a conflicted look, Hello, sister-inw. This was the first time Chu Shiwu had seen the so-called sister-inw of the Huo family. The old man, Chu, had mentioned her a few times before, always with a tinge of envy an old buffalo eating young grass! It turns out that it was indeed true. She was such tender grass, even two years younger than him. If it werent for the invisible pressure from Huo Jingshen, Chu Shiwu would have struggled to greet her. Who are you? Su Wanwan asked, baffled. Huo Jingshen introduced him, His name is Chu Shiwu, Chu Xiuhuangs younger brother, and also a senior in your news department. Wearing a light-colored sweater and jeans, Chu Shiwu was elegant and handsome with sharp features reminiscent of Chu Xiuhuang. But his personality was more reserved and studious. His smile was radiant and his eyes clear, a model of a proper gentle and good-looking young man. Su Wanwan thought, this was how the young heir of an aristocratic family should be, unlike Chu Xiuhuang who was too entric You guys can reach out to him for any academic consultation in the future. Huo Jingshen said this to the three girls. Chu Shiwu could only smile: He had gone back home during lunch only to run into Huo Jingshen. After respectfully calling him big brother and answering a few of his questions, he was dragged by Huo Jing Shen to join them for lunch. He was forced. Yet Su Wanwan immediately understood It was clear that older men had a better understanding of social etiquette! He didnt talk much during the journey, likely because he found it challenging to connect with the three girls. He must have felt uneasy thinking about the forting dinner. She didnt expect him to be so considerate to invite a young and handsome guy of their age, who also happens to be a news department senior from their university Now they wouldnt have any problems findingmon topics during dinner. The dinner turned out to be quite cheerful. At the end, Chu Shiwu even willingly offered, I will drive you all back, I need to return to the school to get something. This was also one of Huo Jing Shens requirements. Yes, yes, the three were naturally overjoyed. Compared to the mature and deep Boss Huo, they preferred a sunny and handsome young man like Chu Shiwu. When Chu Shiwu drove off with the three female students, Su Wanwan btedly realized something was off. Images fromst night started ying on a loop in her mind Im going back to school! she immediately blurted out. You shoulde home on weekends. But I left some stuff in the ssroom. Ask a ssmate to help get them. After all, she owed him that favor. Su Wenwen: Sneaky! Seeing Su Wanwan still appearing reluctant, Huo Jing Shen said again, We have a parent-child activity with Ziyang tomorrow. What kind of parent-child activity? Its an autumn outing organized by the school. Isnt it winter now and not autumn? Huo Jingshen shot her a look, Su Wanwan immediately coughed twice, Where? I forgot, I will ask when I get back. Su Wanwan red at him, Are you tricking me on purpose? In your eyes, am I that kind of husband who always tries to trick you intoing home? Huo Jingshen asked with righteous indignation. Yes. Su Wanwan responded naturally. Huo Jingshen: Chapter 377: 377, Home with a Cute Wife Chapter 377: Home with a Cute Wife Then, he picked up his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to her, Ask for yourself. Su Wanwan took the phone and a cute voice already came from the receiver, Uncle Huo? Ziyang, its me. Oh, Auntie, youre with Uncle Huo. Even though it was just childish babble, Su Wanwan couldnt help but feel awkward, Uh, Ziyang, is there a school event tomorrow? Fu Ziyang hesitated, There is an event However, it required both parents to apany him, so he had already told his teacher he would not be participating. Your Uncle Huo and I will go with you, Su Wanwan quickly said. Huh? Fu Ziyang seemed unwilling to believe it. At this moment, Huo Jingshen took the phone, Ziyang, have Old Liang take you back to Imperial Court first. He then hung up the phone. Su Wanwan: * * As for Fu Ziyang over here. He sighed like an old man after hanging up the phone, stood up and resignedly started packing his little school bag. Ziyang, have you finished your homework? Mrs. Huo happened to bring a te of cut fruit over. Grandma, Uncle Huo called me and told me to go home immediately. Oh? Why? Mrs. Huo frowned immediately, I have some rib soup simmering in the pot, its almost ready. Fu Ziyang tilted his head, thinking seriously, Maybe its to get Auntie toe home. Mrs. Huo: Hes even using a five-year-old child in order to get his wife toe home? What absolute idiocy! So when Old Liang drove Fu Ziyang away, Mrs. Huo lifted the phone and severely chastised someone again. * * Imperial Court vi. Huo Jingshen hung up the phone, and not long after, Fu Ziyang entered with his little backpack. The driver, Old Liang, followed behind him. Young Master, I dropped off Little Master for you. Im going back now. Huo Jingshen nodded. After Old Liang left, he lifted his hand, patted the little guys head, Did you grow taller again? Previously only up to his knees, now he seems as tall as his thigh. Im already five years old. Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes, cutely looking at him. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. So? Uncle Huo. Fu Ziyang put down his little bag and said with clear pronunciation, Dad called me today. Oh? Dad said, when the Spring Festivales, he will bring Auntie to visit me. After saying this, Fu Ziyang scrunched his little brow, Uncle Huo, you know who my mom is, dont you? Huo Jingshens thin lips curved, Ziyang, your dad will tell you these thingster. Did my mom marry another man? Huo Jingshen was taken aback, Otherwise, why wouldnt anyone tell me who she really is? Fu Ziyang was very clear in his logic, Dad said mom is beautiful and a big star, but Ive checked out all of Chinas current female stars Huo Jingshen felt another shock. Checked? I found that none of them really look like me. There is only one that somewhat resembles me, but she is 16 years older than me, so its not likely. He actually understands that much? Huo Jingshen was left speechless. Even if my mom has married another man and had other babies, I wont bother her. I just want to see what she looks like. After saying that, Fu Ziyang picked up his little school bag, Uncle Huo, Im going upstairs to sleep. Huo Jingshen watched the little figure slowly climbing the stairs and suddenly spoke, Ziyang. Fu Ziyang turned around. Get up early tomorrow. Your Uncle Huo and Auntie will take you out. Fu Ziyang grinned, and puckered up his little mouth, Okay. Huo Jingshen smiled, his voice gentle, Go to sleep. Goodnight, Uncle Huo. * * Huo Jingshen made a call to the United Kingdom. Fu Ziyang was maturing too quickly. Normally he was quiet and seemed obedient, he wasnt expected to have thought so much or done so many things in secret. His future child couldnt be like this. After ending the call and returning upstairs, Su Wanwan had juste out from her shower. Wearing a pink two-piece pajamas, her hair freshly washed and still in a bun at the top of her head, dripping wet. Why didnt you dry your hair? Huo Jingshen went into the bathroom to retrieve the hairdryer, Let hubby help you. Su Wanwan gave him a look. Her hair was really long and voluminous, and since there was someone to attend to it, she went over to him. So Huo Jingshen picked up the hairdryer, turned it to the lowest setting, and had Su Wanwan sit on the sofa with her back to him. Then he gently began to dry his wifes hair. At first, Su Wanwan was worried that he would be clumsy and hurt her, but surprisingly, he was pretty skilled. In no time, lulled by the whoooool sound of massaging air, which felt like hypnosis, she closed her eyes and leaned back against him, feeling sofortable she was on the edge of falling asleep. Once her hair was mostly dry, Huo Jingshen suddenly spoke up, When is your TOEFL score going to be released? Next February. When is your final examination? After thinking for a bit, Su Wanwan replied, At the end of next month. That meant spending more than another month preparing for the exam, and presumably that he would have to abstain for more than another month. Huo Jingshens eyebrows knitted together instantly, and he inadvertently tugged her hair. Ow! Su Wanwan yelped immediately. Huo Jingshen hurriedly released his grip. A headful of fluffy, raven hair was nearly dry. The thick bunch released a gentle, pleasant fragrance with every upward toss. Huo Jingshen put the hairdryer aside, looking down at the girl who was lying peacefully with her eyes closed. The cellphone rang on the coffee table. He picked up the phone and nced at the caller ID, his brows tightened even more, What do you want? His tone was sharp. The other side went quiet for a moment, and then came the voice of Nangong Ci, Hey, bro, its just nine oclock, why are you in such a rush? Wheres little sister-inw? Shes preparing for her final exam. He lied through his teeth. You f*cking bastard! Nangong Ci eximed, You know, after your phone callst night, my mother hasnt stopped nagging me for an entire day. Im hanging up. No, invite your little sister-inw toe out for a drink, brother Fu is also here, its boring with just men. No. Huo Jingshen curtly replied, clearly annoyed, before hanging up. Worried about getting another call, he decided to switch off the phone. Setting the phone aside, he immediately pulled Su Wanwan into his arms. He had a warm and charming wife at home while it was freezing outside, why would he go out for a drink? Of course, the pleasure of proximity with spouses is something those who have been single for thirty years wouldnt understand. * * The next morning. A shrill shriek suddenly echoed from their bedroom, Ah, what time is it now? In the warm quilt, the mans voice was distinctly tinged with theziness of someone who just woke up, The sun has been up for a while. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes. What was with this poetic answer when she only asked what time it was? After checking the time, Su Wanwan asked with a hint of anger, Werent we supposed to apany Ziyang to his parent-child gathering today? Why didnt you wake me up? Were alreadyte. What? The gathering was at nine oclock in front of the school, and its already past ten. Huo Jingshen said confidently, So, we dont have to go now. Isnt that wrong? Su Wanwan expressed guilt, I said on the phonest night that I would take him to the event. Its not good to lie to kids. He said he didnt want to go. Youre lying! Dont worry, Ziyang is very mature. He will understand Uncle Huo and Auntie need time to sleep. Su Wanwan: She could hardly look at Fu Ziyang from now on. * * Fu Ziyang was currently sitting on the living room couch downstairs, exchanging voice messages with Shi Luoluo. In the end, the little girl asked him, Fu Ziyang, are you really not going toe to pick strawberries today? Not going. But we have a writing assignment on what we did. Fu Ziyang nced up at the second floor, then said into his phone, Theres nothing I can do about it. Uncle Huo and Auntie are still sleeping. Although he never wanted to participate in such childish activities in the first ce. Butst night, Huo Jingshen had specifically asked him toe back early and get up early. So, he had been waiting since 8 AM On the other end of the phone, just as Shi Luoluo opened the message sent by Fu Ziyang, Shi Huan showed up carrying a little basket. As a result, she clearly heard this sentenceC Theres nothing I can do about it. Uncle Huo and Auntie are still sleeping. She nced at the time. It was already 10:40 in the morning and they were still sleeping? This * * Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan didnte downstairs until noon. After finishing the lunch prepared by the maids, Huo Jingshen started speaking, Ziyang, your Auntie was toozy to get out of bed this morning Su Wanwan: What a jerk, he was the one who couldnt get enough of her, and now he said she was the one who overslept? Chapter 378: 378, national goddess, mom? Chapter 378: national goddess, mom? So, is it okay if I take you to the amusement park this afternoon? The moment Huo Jingshen finished speaking, he felt a strong kick under the table from Su Wanwans little leg. She didnt hold back her strength at all. After kicking him, she red at him fiercely, then turned to Fu Ziyang with a smiling face, saying, The amusement park is fine, Ziyang, do you want to go somewhere else? However, Fu Ziyang responded, Can I not go? Thinking that the little guy was upset, Su Wanwan quickly apologized, I m sorry, Ziyang, it was my fault I got upte today. Could you forgive your aunt this time? Why did she have to take the responsibility for Huo Jingshens mistake? Its not fair! Irresistibly, Su Wanwan red at Huo Jingshen again. With a little pout, Fu Ziyang said, Then lets go see a movie. Go see a movie? The amusement park is too childish, Fu Ziyang said. I want to watch The Overbearing Girl Clings On Me. Su Wanwan was taken aback by the thunderous name, The Overbearing Girl? Is it a romance movie? Fu Ziyang nodded his head. The lead actress is 16 years older than him, and today is the premiere. We might get a chance to see the real actors in person. Ziyang, this movie is not suitable for you. Su Wanwan hurriedly tried to dissuade him, Youre still young, dont rush to know about love Then, Ill stay at home and do my homework. Su Wanwan: This little guy, what a temper! Lets go. Huo Jingshen made the decision, If Ziyang wants to watch it, lets take him to do so. Thankyou, Uncle Huo. Fu Ziyang gave a slight smile. Su Wanwan: Are they both crazy? * * Although Su Wanwan felt that the movie was not suitable for children, since Fu Ziyang was persistent and Huo Jingshen agreed, the three of them made some preparations and headed to the cinema. Halfway there, Fu Ziyang reminded, Its at Global Cinema. Okay. Huo Jingshen instantly recalled their unpleasant experience at the same cinemast time. Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was busy looking up information. She first found the movies introduction and nced at the leading cast. Lu Zixi? Why did this name sound familiar? Then she looked at the poster. Lu Zixi was wearing a high school uniform, a white top and a blue skirt, tugging at a male actors ear, looking cheeky yet cute. The poster featured a school field and ssrooms in the background, making it look like a youthful school-themed idol film. Finally, she checked the previews and found there werent any kissing scenes. Only then was Su Wanwan fully reassured. * * When they arrived at the cinema and were buying tickets, Fu Ziyang spoke again, Could we get the front row seats? Huo Jingshen: The little guy seemed to be talking quite a bit today. Having bought the tickets and standing in front of the screening room, Su Wanwan was a bit embarrassed. Pretty much everyone going to watch this movie was either a young couple or a group of young female students. It felt quite weird for them to be there with a five-year-old child. Quite a few young girls kept stealing nces at them, covering their mouths while whispering among themselves. Su Wanwan could only guess at the topic of their gossip Thankfully, the movie started soon, and Su Wanwan quickly led the two boys inside. Finding their seats, Fu Ziyang asked, Auntie Wanwan, can I sit on the outside? Of course. Su Wanwan indulged him in every way. As the lights dimmed and the movie officially began, at first, Su Wanwan kept her eyes glued to the big screen, but as time wore on, the plot became so boring that she could no longer resist her sleepiness In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep. As for Huo Jingshen, he kept staring at his phone, after all, with them sitting in the front row and having a minor around, there wasnt much else they could do Only Fu Ziyang was attentively watching the screen from start to finish. An hour and a half might be a short time for a movie, but it could also feel quite long. Surrounded by apuse, Su Wanwan finally woke up. Rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning, sheined, Finally, its over. Can we go home now? There was no reply. Looking to her left, Huo Jingshen wasnt there. Turning to her right, Fu Ziyang was also missing. Now, lets wee our national goddess Lu Zixi! Zixi sweetheart, please wave to everyone! The hosts voice echoed through the entire theater. Su Wanwan looked towards the stage, then waspletely stunned. The stage was already upied by quite a few people, men and women, old and young, all dressed in beautiful clothes, and the host was handing over the microphone to the lead actress standing in the middle. But that little figure who suddenly ran up Fu Ziyang! Su Wanwan was so terrified that she felt as if her soul was about to be frightened away. She hurriedly stood up, shouting, Ziyang, Ziyang! Come down now! By this time, Fu Ziyang had already run up to Lu Zixi. He raised his head, tilted it slightly, and carefully studied her face. Showing of her professionalism as the current hottest national sweetheart on screen, even under these circumstances, Lu Zixi kept her sweet smile. The host, on the other hand, held his microphone and shouted, Where is this childs parent? Can the parents pleasee to take him off the stage? Having no clue where Huo Jingshen had disappeared to, Su Wanwan had no other choice but to sheepishly get up, proceed to hold Fu Ziyangs little hand, and briskly leave the stage when suddenly Mom! Fu Ziyangs clear and child-like voice instantly echoed throughout the entire theater. Su Wanwans eyes widened in shock. Lu Zixis face, which had been graced with a sweet smile, turned stiff. The other actors on the stage looked surprised, curious, or gossipy The journalists hurriedly shouldered their cameras, while the audiences collectively let out a shocked gasp that nearly lifted the roof off the theater.. Chapter 379: 379, small person, big mind Chapter 379: small person, big mind The host reacted the fastest, holding up his microphone and saying, Kid, hasnt your mome to get you? His eyes then signaled for Su Wanwan to quickly take the child away. Su Wanwan was utterly bbergasted as she pulled Fu Ziyang along, Ziyang,e down with me quickly. Who knew that Fu Ziyang would yell out even louder, Mom, are you my mom? Lu Zixi just stood there, her almond eyes staring straight at the handsome little boy, her gradually paling face not even fully concealed by her makeup. This reaction set the audience abuzz. Who is this kid? Why is he calling Zixi mommy? Did he confuse her for someone else? But why do I think he looks a bit like Zixi? Nonsense, Zixi is only 21 this year, how could she have a child? Did she lie about her age? God, what a scandal Impossible! I dont believe it! Su Wanwan quickly scooped up the little guy and made a run for it. Fu Ziyangy in Su Wanwans arms, turning his little head around, his big eyes still fixated on Lu Zixi. Just when they reached the edge of the stage, they were blocked by a group of reporters. A multitude of microphones was thrust their way and the shbulbs wouldnt stop popping off, as a barrage of questions bombarded them. Miss, what is your rtionship to this child? Why is he calling Zixi mommy? Do you know Zixi? The scene was chaotic at that moment. Su Wenwen was surrounded by reporters, unable to break free. She didnt know how to exin the situation and could only keep repeating, Im sorry, hes just mistaken. Are you sure hes just mistaken? Yes! A mic was suddenly thrust in front of Fu Ziyang. Little boy, why are you calling Zixi mommy? Is Zixi really your mom? Little boy, where is your dad? Little boy Fu Ziyang mped his mouth shut and didnt say a word. Today was the premiere of The Overbearing Girl Clings On Me. The reporters originally just came to record the event, take some nice photos and videos, and call it a day. But now with such an unexpected turn of events involving the hottest screen goddess, everyone became excited, wishing they could dig up a sensational piece of news. The hosts voice rang out on the stage, Everyone quiet down. It was actually a prank designed by our crew, this kid A male reporter interrupted loudly, Then why does this boy look so much like Lu Zixi? Yes! another agreed, Their eyes do look very simr! Can the host exin this? The host: God. Who was he supposed to ask? He was just a stand-in host hiredst minute. How would he know why a child suddenly came on stage calling for his mother? Just then another mans voice rang out, Hello everyone, I am Zan Song, the director of this film. Su Wanwan looked at him. He held the mic, his voice loud and clear. Plus, because he was someone of importance, the scene immediately quieted down. Actually, our host was not wrong. This event was actually a pre-nned surprise. Our movie tells the story of a fantastical high school romance between our lead male and female characters, ending in their marriage. Subsequently, there were many fansining online that there should have been scenes of their married life and their baby. Some have even suggested child stars for us to consider if we were thinking of a sequel. So, we designed this finding mom segment. After finishing his speech, he looked at the crowd, The little boy who just performed is a child actor we invited. Do you all think he looks like Zixi? Like! Not alike! Despite the divided opinions, the atmosphere had obviously lifted, and the reporters had also turned their cameras elsewhere. Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hugging Fu Ziyang and heading down the stage. Back at her seat, she didnt dare to stay. She grabbed her bag and coat and made for the exit. Just at the exit, Huo Jingshen came back. Su Wanwan stood there, her beautiful phoenix eyes ring straight at him. When he came over and she smelled the distinct scent of smoke, she couldnt help but yell, Smoke, smoke, smoke, all you know is smoke! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, not saying a word. Here, take the kid! Saying this, Su Wanwan thrust Fu Ziyang into Huo Jingshens arms and swiftly turned around to leave. Huo Jingshen once again: Fu Ziyangs eyes were still on the stage. Huo Jingshen nced at him and followed his gaze towards the stage. Just at that moment, Lu Zixi turned to look their way. Fu Ziyang instantly broke into a naive and innocent smile. It was obvious that Lu Zixi was taken aback. She only turned her gaze away when her arm was jerked, Mind your surroundings. Lu Zixi pulled her gaze back. ** Carrying the child outside, Huo Jingshen felt a tug on his shoulder. Uncle Huo, I can walk myself. Fu Ziyang looked a bit ufortable. He really wasnt used to being this close to people. Huo Jingshen put the little guy down, Did you make your auntie angry just now? But Fu Ziyang replied, Uncle Huo, do you think thedy just now looks like me? The little boy stood on the ground, earnestly tilting his head up to discuss with him, When I called her mom just now, she didnt deny it. She looked very surprised and her name, like mine, also contains the character zi. Huo Jingshen looked at the little one who seemed older than his years and felt a pang in his temples. He was about to say something when Sir, sir, please wait! A voice called out from behind. Huo Jingshen turned around just in time to hear a click.. Chapter 380 - 38O: 38O, a family of three Chapter 38O: 38O, a family of three The reporter put down the camera in his hand, ran over with a grin, pulled out a business card from his pocket, and said, Hello, sir, Im a reporter from the Entertainment Television, I would like to ask, are you this childs father? Huo Jingshen looked at him, his dark eyes slightly squinted, Entertainment Television? Yes. The reporter continued to smile, May I ask what your rtionship is with Lu Zixi? Is this child your son? If so, are you all a family? Is Lu Zixi lying about her age? Or did she have a child while underage? Why would? Whats your name? Huo Jingshen interrupted impatiently. My name is Zhou Jiekang. The reporter looked at his expressionless face, inexplicably feeling a sense of foreboding. But as a reporter, if he could get hold of such sensational news, what would he have to worry about in the future? Huge temptation immediately prompted him to say, Dont worry, if Lu Zixi really had a child while underage and deliberately hid it, pretending to deceive the public as a pure maiden, as long as I break this news, I guarantee that you and your child can Huo Jingshen didnt say anything, just pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and briefly said a few words, Entertainment Television, Zhou Jiekang, get him out of here. Zhou Jiekang was stunned. The mans mature, stable, yet powerful aura prevented him from speaking. After Huo Jingshen finished speaking, he left with Fu Ziyang. Not long after, Zhou Jiekangs mobile phone in his pocket rang, he hurriedly answered, Editor. He had no idea what was said on the other end of the phone, but his face changed inyers of emotion, and in the end, he was so frightened, his phone dropped to the ground. ** Su Wanwan came out of the womens restroom, walked all the way to the outside of the screening hall, and finally found Huo Jingshen in the sofa area. He was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, with Fu Ziyang sitting next to him, eating an ice cream cone. One man was mature and restrained, one child was delicate and pretty. The contrast depicted an image reminiscent of the currently popr doting father and cute son trend on TV. As expected, a woman had joined them. Although she hadnt said anything, her eyes were fixed on Huo Jingshens face, as if she wanted to eat him up. For some reason, Su Wanwan felt her blood boil. Damn it, he just caused trouble in the screening hall and now hes flirting out here? She immediately stomped over in her snow boots, pinched her throat, and shouted, Husband! Why did you let our son eat ice cream again? Didnt I tell you not to give him such things? They will upset his stomach! Huo Jingshen flinched, his gaze shifted upward from the phone screen, finallynding on her face. As for Fu Ziyang on the side, he held his ice cream cone in his small hand, his small face frozen in shock. The woman also looked up and saw Su Wanwan, her brow furrowed. Huo Jingshen looked mature and was well-dressed, obviously a sessful businessman. Fu Ziyang was delicate and cute, dressed in designer clothes from head to toe. But this girl Holding a down jacket, wearing a pink hoodie, jeans, and a pair of matching pink fluffy snow boots. Was she this mans wife? The mother of this child? She looked more like a sister to him, didnt she? But when Su Wanwan looked back at her with an icy stare, she felt a chill, swiftly got up, grabbed her bag, and left hastily. If she cant deal with her, shed better avoid her Su Wanwan red at the retreating woman, then started ring at Huo Jingshen. Whats wrong? Huo Jingshen chuckled, about to take her small hand when she pped it away, unting your wealth! Disrespectful to the elderly! Huo Jingshen:. Lets go home! Su Wanwan walked over, took Fu Ziyangs small hand, and started to leave. As she walked, she lectured him gently, Ziyang, you shouldnt call every pretty aunt you see mommy, shes not your mom. Why? Fu Ziyang looked at her skeptically. He thought that Lu Zixis reaction was quite mother-like. Maybe it was just because there were so many people around, so she didnt admit it. Su Wanwan said, Because shes only twenty-one, and youre already five. Oh. Fu Ziyang sounded depressed. Su Wanwan immediately felt sorry for him and hurried tofort him, Ziyang, dont worry, your mom will definitelye to find you. Fu Ziyang was still depressed, Then why hasnt shee to find me in five years? Uh Su Wanwan was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, she said, Its alright, even if mommy isnt here, youve got Auntie Wanwan to apany you! The next time theres a parent-child activity in school, Auntie Wanwan will definitely go with you. Really? Fu Ziyang sounded skeptical. Really. I swear! Su Wanwan blurted out. So Fu Ziyang said, It seems were going out of town next weekend. Su Wanwan:. Out of town? Will Auntie Wanwane? Fu Ziyang tilted his little head and looked at her. Su Wanwan looked back at him. Somehow, it felt like she saw the words sly fox written on the little guys face. She must have been seeing things. Sure, where are we going? Su Wanwan asked immediately. Fu Ziyang said, For hot spring bathing, we need to wear swimsuits. Sure, Ill apany you. Huo Jingshen behind them timely added, Good, lets go to the tenth floor to buy swimsuits. Fu Ziyang nodded his little head, Okay. Su Wanwan: * * Ten minutester, the three of them arrived at the swimsuit department on the tenth floor. Thinking of the time when someone secretly bought a lot of pajamas behind her back, as Fu Ziyang went in to choose swimming trunks, Su Wanwan lowered her voice and said, Ill buy my swimsuit myself. Youre not allowed to interfere. Huo Jingshens thin lips curled slightly, Okay. Really agree so easily? By the way, help your hubby to buy swimming trunks too. Su Wanwan blurted out, Are you going too? Huo Jingshens dark pupils contracted, Hmm? Su Wanwan shied back, quickly replied, Then why dont you buy them yourself? Its the same if baby helps me buy them, after all he lowered his voice, You know my measurements. Su Wanwans little face flushed, How would I know that? Huo Jingshen chuckled, You forgot so quickly? Su Wanwan: Damn it! Nuts! Su Wanwan cursed and couldnt stand it any longer, she rushed straight into the shop. * * Kids swimming trunks are easy to buy, Fu Ziyang quickly picked two small ones, one blue and one ck. Su Wanwan also liked two sets. Considering there would be children along with their parents while soaking in the hot spring, she chose two bikini pieces. Not as revealing as a bikini, but also not as conservative and old-fashioned as a one-piece. One is sky blue, pure and lovely. One is a pink petal design, smart and lively. The prices were also simr, Su Wanwan was stuck with indecision. An attendant on the side quickly suggested, Miss, why dont you try both first? Then Ill try the pink one. Okay. Going into the changing room behind, Su Wanwan quickly changed into the pink swimsuit. Her skin is white, and any color looked lovely on her, but it seemed a bit tight. The attendants voice reached from outside at this time, Miss, do you need me to bring the other one for you to try as well? Okay. As Su Wanwan looked at the mirror inside the changing room, she heard a knocking from outside, she extended her hand to push the door from behind. The door opened, but to her surprise, it was Huo Jingshen who came in. Su Wanwan was startled and quickly turned around, trying to push him out, but he directly closed the door and locked it. The changing room was originally quite spacious, but due to his arrival, it immediately became cramped. Su Wanwan felt a difficulty in breathing, her heart pounding faster as she rushed to ask, What are you doing here? Try this one? Seeing the one in his hand, Su Wanwan gnashed her teeth, No! It was actually a bikini! And also a ck one. What a gross taste of an old man! Can you get out?!1 Su Wanwans face turned red as she gave a hard pinch on his arm. However, Huo Jingshen appeared oblivious, The one youre wearing seems a bit small. Huh? Su Wanwan was caught off guard for a moment. Then, Huo Jingshen raised his beautiful fingers, and subtly pulled on the fabric, As I said, your swimsuit seems a bit small. Damn it! Su Wanwan couldnt help it anymore, and directly pped his hand away. You think you could havee in if the swimsuit wasnt a bit small? Wasnt it enough to take advantage verbally? You still want to take advantage physically? Had I not been afraid of being overheard by others, did you think I would tolerate this? Su Wanwans eyes were filled with anger, making Huo Jingshen struggle to suppress his amusement. He raised his eyebrows, noticing that the girl was genuinely shy, he shoved the swimsuit into her hands, Alright, Im going out, remember to try this one. Having said that, he actually left.. Chapter 381: 381, Weiyi checking post: Check if there are any women’s hair. Chapter 381: Weiyi checking post: Check if there are any womens hair. Su Wanwan walked out after trying on swimsuits and headed straight to the cashiers counter. I want this one. Do you have a sizerger in the cup area? She still found the pink one more appealing. And the bikini? She disposed of it and the blue swimsuit directly to the sales clerk. I dont want these two. Okay, miss. Unexpectedly, a womans hand stretched over from the side at that moment. She was wearing a silver bracelet, her fingers were lean, her skin was fair, and her nails were painted nude, simple and elegant. Her voice was equally soft and graceful, Is this blue swimsuit a medium size? Su Wanwan looked up and froze. It was the same woman who was with Xiao Yebai the other day! The mistress! The woman looked at her and smiled, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth. Miss, is this a medium size? Su Wanwan nodded subconsciously. Thank you. The woman smiled and picked up the swimsuit by her side. Ill take this one. Charge it to my card. Sure, miss. The sales clerk immediately issued the receipt. Su Wanwan couldnt help but study her. Thest time she saw her with Xiao Yebai, she was wearing a ck knitted sweater and a id skirt, exuding a certain charm in her neatness because it was in the club. Today, she was carrying a beige down jacket, and she was dressed in a beige knitted long dress. The long skirt trailed all the way to her feet, her exquisite curly hair, her elegant makeup, making her look soft andposed. Regardless, it was clear she belonged to the category of urban white-cor women who were seasoned and mature, even more so than herself and Mo Weiyi. And it wasnt a maturity like Chu Jingyis either. Chu Jingyis age and wealth were evident in her imposing and somewhat arrogant demeanor, even her gaze held a sense of contempt and disdain. This woman, on the other hand, did not have any of these characteristics, in contrast, she was much morefortable and approachable. When she took out a ck card from her bag, Su Wanwan was even more astonished. Up until now, she knew of only one woman who used a ck card, Mo Weiyi. She didnt expect this woman to have one too. Could it have been given by Xiao Yebai? Damn! Upon this realization, Su Wanwan felt her blood boiling. Xiao Yebai now controls the Mo Group, although she doesnt understand business, Mo Weiyi had mentioned that even Mo Yaoxiong doesnt handle affairs much, and Xiao Yebai now holds all the power in the Mo Family. So he was usingpany money to keep a mistress? Su Wenwen wanted to take a picture with her phone, but it was too conspicuous. She wanted to confront her, but she had no grounds. So when the sales clerk brought over the receipt for that woman to sign, Su Wenwen immediately shifted her gaze to it. Tian Ye? Was this a name? Miss, this is one size bigger in the chest area, miss, miss. Su Wanwan hurriedly turned around. She took the swimsuit, and when she turned back, the woman had already signed, picked up the delicate shopping bag, and gracefully walked away. Miss, do you want this one? Yes. Charge it to your card? asked the sales clerk again. Before Su Wenwen could answer, Huo Jingshen elegantly slid a ck card onto the counter. Looking at his graceful rich mans demeanor, the sales clerk immediately shifted her envious gaze to Su Wanwan. But Su Wanwan had her eyebrows furrowed, and as soon as she got back in the car, she dialed Mo Weiyis number. Weiyi, what are you doing? Studying. Mo Weiyi grumbled, and the recitation of English texts could be heard on the phone. Su Wanwan asked, Do you know a woman named Tian? No. Mo Weiyi denied it bluntly. Called Tian Ye, You really dont know? I dont know, what is it? Has Xiaobai been acting unusuallytely? No. Mo Weiyis voice was sweet and innocent. Ive been working hard to learn English every day recently, so to not disturb me, hees homete and even works overtime on the weekends. You call that not unusual? Su Wanwan was speechless, So, what time does he usuallye home? Generally after nine, because before nine a tutores over for private lessons, and they use his study. Oh. Why are you asking this? Su Wanwan decided to be upfront, I forgot to tell you yesterday, I saw him at the club with a woman alone, and he was speaking to her in a gentle tone, the woman was quite pretty too. Alone? The pitch of Mo Weiyis voice instantly raised. What does she look like, did you take a picture? I dont know, I saw her again at the clothing store just now, and she was using a ck card, seems quite wealthy, her signature read Tian Ye, not sure if thats her name. I got it. Mo Weiyi hung up as soon as she finished speaking. Su Wanwan: ** Mo Familys vi. Mo Weiyi couldnt concentrate on her studies anymore. Was there another woman around Xiaobai? And a private meeting at a club? Who talked oh-so-gently? What was her name Tian Ye? What the hell! She immediately grabbed her phone. But no information about a woman named Tian Ye could be found on Baidu, Weibo, Zhihu It was now half past three in the afternoon, and Xiaobai had mentioned earlier that he had a social engagement in the afternoon. Without further hesitation, Mo Weiyi directly dialed Xiao Yebais cell phone. The call went through, rang for a long time, before finally, a mans clean and pleasant voice came through, Weiyi. There seemed to be other people talking in the background. Immediately sensitive, Mo Weiyi asked, Xiaobai, where are you now? Im socializing. When will it be over? Around five. After youre done, why donte home and have dinner with me? Doesnt the teacher have to make up the ss? That wont interfere with our dinner together, youe back and keep mepanyter, Ill have Aunt Zhou make some dishes you love. Okay. Xiao Yebai agreed. ** At six-thirty in the evening, Mo Weiyi sat cross-legged on the couch with a thick book, New Horizon College English, on herp, but she had barely turned a page since sat down. When she heard the engine sounding from outside, she instantly threw the book aside, Xiaobai. Soon, Xiao Yebai walked in from outside. He was wearing a thick coat, unbuttoned, revealing a dark woolen sweater underneath, and wearing a matching dark scarf around his neck. He looked sharp and cool, with a lingering chill on him as if he had juste in from the cold outside. Xiaobai, let me help you, Mo Weiyi offered to help him take off his coat. Xiao Yebai nced at her, took off his coat and scarf, and put them in her hands. Mo Weiyi turned and took them to the couch. She sat there, carefully examining the scarf and coat What are you doing? Xiao Yebai asked in a deep voice. Looking for a womans hair! Xiao Yebai: None! Mo Weiyi sniffed the clothes again. Except for a hint of tobo and alcohol, no other smells, fragrances or anything Nothing at all! Tossing away the clothes, Mo Weiyi stood up and looked at him, Who is Tian Ye? Xiao Yebai stood there, expressionless. A sudden sense of panic rose in Mo Weiyis heart. She looked at the mans handsome, serene profile under the lights, his ck and white cat-like eyes blinked, about to speak Shes a ssmate from the American Institute. A ssmate? Yes, Xiao Yebai lowered his head, behind the sses, his eyes were downcast, his voice slightly downcast, Recently returned to the country for career development. Mo Weiyi immediately pouted her lips, So you also have female ssmates. This man, who always acted like a loner and rarely had friends, and never had any female friends, suddenly introduced a female ssmate from America? Really strange! Xiao Yebaizily lifted his eyelids and gave her a nonchnt nce, Simr to your male ssmate named Ling Zhizhou. Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi objected, How can it be the same? Ling Zhizhou is my junior! Since they met at an exam venue that day and added each other on WeChat, Ling Zhizhou had been striking up conversations with her quite frequently. Earlier such one morning, Xiao Yebai happened to be present when Ling Zhizhou sent her a WeChat message. As soon as she opened the voice message, he heard it. He didnt react at the time, but surprisingly, he remembered it. Petty! Mo Weiyi added, He is two years younger than me. Being from the same department and having spent over two years in college, Ling Zhizhou was the first male student not to judge her based on her identity. He was clean-cut and gentlemanly in appearance which didnt disgust her, so she did not resist his approach. Lately, she was putting in extra efforts to learn English, and most of the conversations with him were about English study. Fearing Xiao Yebai might not believe her, she quickly picked up her phone again, Take a look for yourself, I am just asking him questions about English. Xiao Yebai nced indifferently at the screen, and his thin lips curled upwards. A slight curve, like a smirk. Mo Weiyi pressed him, What about you, why did you go to the club alone with her? Chapter 382: 382, Xiaobai’s Female Research Institute Classmate Chapter 382: Xiaobais Female Research Institute ssmate Mo Weiyi asked him again, Then why did you go to the club alone with her? How did you know? Xiao Yebai still had a casual tone. Wanwan told me. Xiao Yebai opened his lips, There was a little trouble in her family, and I just casually helped out. We happened to run into each other at the clubhouse. Such a coincidence? Mo Weiyi always felt that something was off, Ive never seen you so eager to help others before. Although it was not very nice of her to describe her husband as a cold-blooded animal, it wasnt far from the truth. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his voice was monotonous, I just happened to be there.1 In other words, he would not have helped otherwise. Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Have you eaten? Xiao Yebai suddenly asked. No, Ive been waiting for you. Mo Weiyi hugged his arm, her voice returning to its usual soft and coquettish tone, I asked Aunt Zhou to make your favorite ginseng chicken soup. Hmmm. ** The dining room. Soon the table was filled with steaming hot dishes. Xiao Yebai nced at it, almost all of them being his favorites. We havent had dinner together for a while. Mo Weiyi couldnt resist muttering. Since she began to work hard at her studies, Xiao Yebai was out early and returnedte every day. He was barely seen during the day, and they only had a short time together at night when they shared the bed. Sometimes he returned toote, and Mo Weiyi would already be falling asleep. When she woke up the next day, she was the only one left on the bed. Its busy at the end of the year, with thepanys anniversarying up. Then you should drink more soup to replenish your energy. Mo Weiyi, like a virtuous wife, took a spoon and helped him with the chicken soup. The two of them chatted as they ate. Until a maids voice suddenly came from outside, Miss Chen, the princess is still eating, please wait. Since she was a tutor and only a year older than Mo Weiyi, and was also hardworking and thrifty, Aunt Zhou was quite polite to her. Mo Weiyi immediately put down her chopsticks, Xiaobai, the teacher is here, Im going to ss. Xiao Yebai responded with a simple hmm. When Mo Weiyi reached the living room, Chen Jin was just getting up, but she heard Mo Weiyi say, Teacher Chen, please wait for me, I left my textbooks upstairs. Okay. When Mo Weiyi ran upstairs, Chen Jin sat back down on the sofa. The living room was very quiet. She looked up at the several decorative paintings on the wall, which seemed to have been newly changed today. The backgrounds were different, but the protagonist in each was invariably a girl in a school uniform. One was of a girl deep in thought, leaning alone on a desk in the ssroom. One was of a girl standing at the ssroom door with a violin case on her back. Another one was of a girl walking on the street, her head lowered as she held an umbre. The lines in these paintings were simple and the colors were light, but somehow, looking at them gave Chen Jin a sense of sadness Footsteps rang out at that moment. Chen Jin quickly pulled her gaze away as a tall, straight figure appeared before her eyes. The man was wearing a dark wool sweater and sharp-cut ck trousers. He had fair skin, a high, straight nose with a pair of sses with thin ck frames perched on it. When he spotted her, his face was expressionless, even his eyes were deep and cold, giving off an aura of aloofness. Chen Jin stood up subconsciously and opened her mouth, Hello Xiao Yebai nodded slightly, still expressionless, and stepped up to the second floor without another word. Chen Jin stood in ce, only realizing after the mans figure had vanished that she had been so nervous she had held her breath. Teacher Chen! Mo Weiyis crisp voice echoed from the staircase. She held arge stack of textbooks, her fluffy curls swaying with her movement. A sweet smile on her cute little face as she approached, she said, Lets go, we can start now. Okay. Chen Jin came back to her senses, picked up her bag and walked towards the study. However, she couldnt resist taking onest nce over her shoulder. Mo Weiyi was in her junior year of college. Before, she thought Mo Weiyi was a simple female college student like herself, who was privileged enough to be born beautiful and into a wealthy family. But she never expected that she was actually already married. Every time she came here to tutor, outside of Mo Weiyi and the maids, she never saw what her husband looked like. Did she envision a middle-aged, lecherous man? Rich, balding, sporting arge belly, and with a lewd smile on his face. Because of this, Chen Jin once felt sorry for Mo Weiyi. There were no wedding photos on the first floor of the vi, and no photos in the study. It wasnt until today when she saw Xiao Yebai for the first time that she realized how wrong she was. Teacher Chen. Mo Weiyi quickly noticed that Chen Jin seemed distracted today, Whats wrong with you? Is there something bothering you? Chen Jin quickly shook her head, No. Mo Weiyi tilted her head, her delicate eyebrows lightly furrowed under the bright light of the study room, looking incredibly innocent, If you have something going on, just let me know ahead of time. You dont have toe every day. Chen Jins tutoring schedule was originally set for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But having just taken the Level 4. English test a couple of days ago had dealt Mo Weiyi a huge blow. With her current English foundation, it seemed like a pipe dream to rank among the top ten in her ss within a month. So, she negotiated with Zhong Kai to see if Chen Jin coulde over every night. In addition to paying the hourly tutoring fee, she would pay an extra fifty percent. Chen Jin readily agreed, which is why weekend tutoring was happening. Okay. Chen Jin smiled, shy and introverted. Looking at Chen Jins face, Mo Weiyi suddenly coughed twice and asked in a soft and ambiguous tone, Teacher Chen, do you have a boyfriend? Chen Jins face turned red, and she quickly denied it, No. Mo Weiyi smiled, Youre so cute, how can you not have a boyfriend? Seeing Chen Jins face growing redder, she couldnt help but pry into her life further, Youve never had a boyfriend before? Chen Jin: Youre a year older than me. You really never had a boyfriend? Mo Weiyi eximed as if shed just discovered a new world. Chen Jin felt extremely embarrassed. She wasnt good at discussing such personal matters. Mo Weiyi, with her chin propped on her hands, looked perplexed, Why wouldnt you date? Chen Jin picked up the cup from the table, took a sip topose herself, and then calmly said, I just took the IELTS, and I n to go abroad right after the New Year. So, youre short on time. Mo Weiyi chirped cheerfully, Thats why I say its important to seize your feelings. Look at me. Ive been in love with Xiaobai since I was ten. Theres no escaping it now. Xiaobai? Yeah, thats my husband. You must have seen him earlier, right? Uh Chen Jin was a little surprised. Xiaobai? This name why does it sound like a pets name? Dont be scared, my husband mighte off as cold, but hes not a bad person. Thinking that Chen Jin might be scared, Mo Weiyi quickly tried to reassure her, Hes kind-hearted and loves to help others. Oh. Chen Jin nodded nkly. Halfway through their eight oclock tutoring session, they were interrupted by a knock on the study room door. The person who entered was Aunt Zhou, Princess. What is it? Aunt Zhou fumbled for words, Mr. Xiaos sister is here. Xiao Zhiwei? Mo Weiyi immediately knit her eyebrows, Where is she? She said that Mr. Xiao wont answer her calls. Aunt Zhou looked worried, I didnt dare disturb Mr. Xiao, but shes been ringing the doorbell for half an hour now As soon as Aunt Zhou finished speaking, Mo Weiyi heard a round of incessant ringinging from outside. She couldnt help but roll her eyes. Wasnt this woman supposed to have returned to Tongcheng? Why does she keep showing up in Nancheng like a lingering ghost? And making a ruckus here in the middle of the night is just too much! She no longer felt like tutoring, and got up, Thats enough for today, Teacher Chen. Okay. Chen Jin also picked up her things and got ready to leave. Aunt Zhou. Mo Weiyimanded, Let her in. She was curious to see just what this woman was up to this time! As you wish, princess. ** Having put on her coat, Chen Jin came outside to find the driver already waiting by the car. This job wasnt bad, with good pay and benefits. Because Chen Jins tutoring sessions ended at 9 pm, Mo Weiyi worried about her safety returning home sote. So she arranged for a driver to take Chen Jin home. As Chen Jin left in the car, she looked through the window to see a young woman entering the vis gate. She had short ck hair and wore a nk expression, her thin ck clothes giving her a somewhat gloomy appearance. The light grazed past, illuminating her face. Chen Jin was shocked. What kind of look was that? It was filled with bitterness, malice, jealousy, and hatred. It was simply terrifying.. Chapter 383: 383, the carefree Little Princess Chapter 383: the carefree Little Princess As soon as the car left the vi, Chen Jin couldnt help but ask, Uncle Liu, what did that woman want with Miss Mo? Uncle Liu chuckled, These are things we servants would not know. Chen Jins face showed a trace of awkwardness. In fact, she knew that the servants who walked around the vi every day must know everything about their masters. The reason they kept silent was simply to guard against outsiders. Yes, outsiders. After all, she was an outsider. Chen Jin lowered her head, repeatedly reminding herself inwardly, not to be nosy, not to overthink, and certainly not to overstep. ** The toasty living room was brightly lit like daylight. The expensive crystal chandeliers cast a radiant glow on the room, making Mo Weiyis pretty little face look as smooth and delicate as a peeled boiled egg. Hearing footsteps, Mo Weiyi turned around. She was a little startled when she saw Xiao Zhiwei. They hadnt seen each other for a few months since theirst hospital encounter, she didnt expect such a drastic change. Her hair was thin, brittle, and glued to her scalp as if she hadnt washed it in months. Her face was bruised with a band-aid on the corner of her mouth, as if she had been beaten up. She walked with a limp and didnt even bother changing into indoor slippers, leaving two distinct footprints on the clean floor. Her entire body was shockingly thin, as if she had suffered some inhumane torture. Buthow? With her temperament, who could have mistreated her? So, Mo Weiyi immediately said with a serious look on her face, Xiao Zhiwei, its only been a short while since Ist saw you, and youve turned yourself into a ghost? Although she didnt like Xiao Zhiwei, the impression of Xiao Zhiwei in the past had been one of cold, aloof demeanor. Even when she was in the hospital after a miscarriage, she still resembled a porcupine covered in spikes. This was the first time Mo witnessed such a pitiful sight of her, she couldnt even recognize her. Xiao Zhiwei didnt say anything. Her eyes were filled with waves of madness, poisoned and bing deeper and more intense. She had been imprisoned for a whole week, undergoing all kinds of physical and psychological torture in jail. However, despite being tortured, she adamantly denied giving orders to Song Quan, in the end, they had no choice but to release her. The first thing she did after getting out was to find Xiao Yebai, but she couldnt even get through to him on the phone. During her hospitalization, he didnt visit her once She had been waiting in the cold wind for so long that she was almost numb with cold, but now looking at Mo Weiyi, living in this luxurious, warm vi, dressed impably from head to toe, her expression so innocent and radiant. She looked like a carefree little princess. Xiao Zhiwei raised her foot, clenched her fist, and stepped toward Mo Weiyi. She surged forward and violently raised her right hand. Noticing the agitation in her eyes, Mo Weiyi had an early hunch of hostility. She immediately grabbed her wrist, What are you doing? Have you gone mad? Xiao Zhiwei appeared truly mad, struggling vigorously, exerting all her strength. Mo Weiyi, being physically weak, was pushed back and almost fell over. Princess. The first thing Mo Weiyi said after she stabilized herself was, Aunty Zhou, get her out of here now! This is absurd! She actually came over in the middle of the night wanting to start a fight? Xiao Zhiwei remained silent and tried to advance and hit her again. Thankfully the servants had already reacted, two of them restrained her and started pulling her out. Xiao Zhiwei grimaced in pain as her bruised arm was tugged, her face turned green, and she broke into a cold sweat. Yet, despite this, she continued to struggle, refusing to leave. Until a series of footsteps could be heard. Xiaobai! Mo Weiyi immediately shouted, Your sister has gone crazy! Hearing this name, Xiao Zhiwei finally stopped resisting. Mo Weiyi ran over to Xiao Yebai, held onto his arm, andined piteously, Shes gone mad and tried to hit me as soon as she came in! It scared me to death! Xiao Yebais eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he took off his sses, making his handsome features even sharper. Briefly closing his eyes, he said, You go upstairs first. Oh. Mo Weiyi red at Xiao Zhiwei, obediently turned around, and was about to go upstairs. Dont go! Stay right there! Xiao Zhiwei finally spoke, her throat sounding dry and hoarse, as if she was straining to speak. Mo Weiyi stopped in her tracks. She turned around. Lifting her chin, a sneer appeared in her dazzling eyes, Xiao Zhiwei, do you know what you look like now? You are a lunatic! A total lunatic! Xiao Zhiweis eyes were zing with crazed fury, If it werent for you, would I end up like this? Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes dismissively, toozy to argue more with a lunatic, Anyway, Xiaobai is here now. After you finish your piece, please get out of my house right away, and nevere back again! No longer wanting to look at her again, Mo Weiyi quickly turned and went upstairs after he finished saying this. ** Xiao Yebai didnt return until an hourter. Mo Weiyi was sprawled out on therge carved bed in the bedroom, reading a book. She had finished taking a bath and was currently dressed in a fluffy, loose nightgown. Her snow-white legs were propped up, and a thick English textbooky before her. Upon seeing him, Mo Weiyi pushed herself up immediately, Xiaobai, has your sister left yet? Yes, shes gone back to Tongcheng. Thats good. Mo Weiyi wrinkled her small nose, Is your sister mentally ill? It seemed like she was injured. Dont her parents care about her? Why should we be troubled just because she got into a predicament? Was she beaten up? Has she offended someone? Xiao Yebai walked straight towards the bathroom, Im going to take a bath first. Okay. Having not gotten the answer she wanted, she figured that Xiaobai was reluctant to talk too much about it. After all, in the past four years, even though Xiao Zhiwei was studying in Canada, she had caused quite a few problems, and each time, it was Xiaobai who cleaned up the mess. She hadnt expected that even after returning to China, Xiao Zhiwei still didnt know how to behave! With a rtive like this, Xiaobai truly had eight lifetimes of bad luck! Mo Weiyi shook her head, then resumed reading her book. ** Monday morning. Mo Weiyi arrived at school early in the morning and took part in the g-raising ceremony. During the ceremony, the students around her kept ncing at her and discussing among themselves. The usually majestic and charming school beauty seemed to havepletely changed recently. Not only did she attend school every day, but she was also always carrying a backpack and reading an English book even while walking Astonishing! After the g-raising ceremony, Mo Weiyi headed straight for the journalism department building. On Monday morning, Su Wanwan had two English sses. That meant she get to sit-in again! As she walked into the ssroom, the other students were already ustomed to her habit of visiting frequently, so they didnt react much. The two of them took their usual seats by the window. However, the ss teacher, Li Mochou, arrived before they did. Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan, could you step outside for a moment? Mo Weiyi hurriedly asked her, Did you get into trouble again? Su Wanwan: She hadnt made any mistakes recently. Could it be that Huo Jingshen came to the school again? Damn it! Su Wanwan went out of the ssroom in silence. To her surprise, as soon as she got into the elevator, the ss teacher asked her, Do you know Zan Song? Zan Song? Su Wanwan felt that this name sounded familiar, but she did not know the person. The ss teacher said, He specifically mentioned your name and said he wanted to see you. I thought it was something serious. Come with me first. Oh. Su Wanwan obediently followed the ss teacher to his office. As the door opened, a man and a woman were sitting on the sofa inside. The woman was stylishly dressed but was wearingrge sunsses that nearly covered her entire face, making it impossible to recognize who she was. Thank you, Teacher Wang. The mans voice was loud, Could we speak with Ms. Su alone for a few minutes? The ss teacher nodded, turned around, and left. As soon as the door closed, the woman lifted her hand to remove her sunsses, revealing a pair of slightly haggard but beautiful apricot eyes. Lu Zixi? Su Wanwan blinked, What do you want to see me for? Miss Su. Lu Zixi stood up, her voice was as melodious as a birds song, standing tall and graceful. Just like the enchanting woman on the TV screen, but she looked panicked and somewhat haggard. She asked, The child we met at the movie theater that day, whats your rtionship with him? Su Wanwan was at a loss, Are you referring toZiyang? So his name is Ziyang. Lu Zixi seemed quite agitated all of a sudden and asked again, Whats your rtionship with him? He calls me auntie. Lu Zixi nodded, How much do you know about what happened back then? What happened back then? Su Wanwan was still at a loss. Lu Zixi was taken aback and looked at Zan Song. After a brief exchange of nces, Lu Zixi asked, Wasnt it your intention to take him to see me that day? You got it wrong. Su Wanwans face fell, That day we just went to the movies, and Ziyang just mistook you for someone else. Mistook me for someone else? Lu Zixi shook her head, No, thats impossible. It couldnt be. Su Wanwan frowned, What do you people really want? Lu Zixi hurriedly asked, Is he five years old this year? Chapter 384: 384, bribery in secret, unworthy to be a mother. Chapter 384: bribery in secret, unworthy to be a mother. Lu Zixi hurriedly asked, Is he five years old this year? Su Wanwan nodded. His birthday wasst month, right? Su Wanwan continued to nod. However, Lu Zixis reaction next startled Su Wanwan. She started crying. Tears flowed unbidden from her eyes, streaking down her cheeks like a string of pearls snapping. She didnt make any sound, just stared at her, tears streaming down her face. It is said that a beautiful woman crying is like pear blossoms bathed in rain, and Su Wenwen has now witnessed it. Especially Lu Zixis eyes are slightly innocent, yet vulnerable almond-shaped eyes. The image of her holding back her tears, devoid of the yful and clever charm of the national goddess often seen on screen, made her all the more pitiful and endearing. Zan Song from the side handed over a tissue. Lu Zixi wiped her eyes, calming her emotions before finally speaking. My child, Ziyang is my child Hearing this, Su Wanwan blurted out, Impossible! Miss Su, he really is my child! Su Wenwen exined, Ziyang is the son of my husbands friend. His dad is in the United Kingdom, Ziyang just came here a few months ago for school. He has nothing to do with you. United Kingdom? A fresh stream of tears began to fall from Lu Zixis eyes. Then its true, he must be my child. The man who got me pregnant went to the United Kingdom. I knew it, the moment I saw his eyes on the stage, I knew he was my child! You must be mistaken. Su Wanwan never expected the matter to take this turn. And arent you only twenty-one years old? How could you possibly have a five-year-old child? Lu Zixi bit her lip, I really had no other choice at the time. Su Wanwan: Holy shit! Did that reporters prediction actuallye true, was the national goddess really a mother before she was even of legal age? I entered this industry when I was ten, and for various reasons, I had a child with a man when I was sixteen. The situation was veryplicated, and the child was sent to an orphanage. I sent them money for his living expenses every month. But never expected, the orphanage suddenly caught fire a yearter. I was abroad for intensive training and by the time I rushed back, the child was gone. I thought he was dead, everyone told me he was dead. But if he were still alive, hed be five years old now and his birthday wasst month, I didnt remember wrong. Lu Zixis tears were streaming down her face, describing her story through sobs. You could tell she was emotional. Su Wanwan asked, If so, why didnt you rify it that day? Lu Zixi said, Miss Su, the entertainment industry isnt as simple as you think. Ive been through ups and downs in this field for eleven years, and I finally have some fame now. I cant afford to lose. I know, you must think Im an irresponsible mother, but back then I really was too scared to admit he was mine. Wiping her tears, she continued, Zan Song is my good friend of many years, and I owe my entire career today to his grooming. He is also aware of this matter. He found all the footage from that day, but we couldnt find any information about the child. We only found out that youre a student at this university, hence why I came looking for you today. Zan Song spoke up, Ever since Zixi found out about the child, shes barely slept or eaten anything these past few days, shes really worried about him. Really? Su Wanwan sneered, If she was really worried, why did she abandon him back then? Lu Zixis expression faltered, but before she could respond, Su Wanwan continued, Besides, how can I believe that you are Ziyangs mother just based on your words? Shouldnt they do a paternity test or something? Lu Zixi hurriedly took a check out of her bag, Thats why, I am giving you this. Su Wanwan took it and looked at the number. 1, 2, 3, i, 5- Wait, one million? This money is for you. Please help me keep this a secret for now. Can you then bring him to meet me? In the meantime, if reporterse to interview you, you must help me keep this a secret. My career is just starting to rise, and I really cant afford any bad press. Su Wanwan, holding the cheque in her hand, remained silent. Zan Song nced at Lu Zixi. After catching her hint, Lu Zixi then continued, -This one million is just the deposit, if a paternity test proves that Ziyang is my son indeed, Id like to ask Miss Su to continue taking care of him. Ill give you another five million as child support, and an additional monthly living fee for Ziyang of fifty thousand. Could you give me your bank ount then? We could sign a confidential agreement just between us. Su Wanwan looked at her and remained silent. Miss Su, do you think this is not enough? Then Lu Zixis brows furrowed. She thought for a moment, then pulled a jewelry box from her bag. Inside was a luxurious and beautiful pearl ne. -Because everything happened so suddenly, I didnt have time to raise more money This ne was a gift from a sponsor after I gave them an endorsement. If you pawn it, it could probably fetch about four to five million. With that, she pressed the jewelry box into Su Wanwans hand. Su Wanwan held the jewelry box in one hand and the cheque in the other, her gaze fixed onto Lu Zixi. Lu Zixis expression instantly turned even more agonized, Miss Su, please, cant you help me out? Back then, I really had difficulties, and if you still feel its not enough With a ng sound, Su Wanwan violently threw the jewelry box onto the floor. Then, With a rip sound, she tore the check into pieces, throwing it forcefully into the sky. The white scraps of paper fluttered down, and along with them, Lu Zixis face turned paler by the second. Miss Su, you Zan Song, standing to one side, was also quite surprised. A check for a million, plus this ne worth four to five million, with an additional 5 million to be addedter, was certainly not a small sum. This was the best solution they could think of after the incident happened, but could this young girl, not of a very big age, have such great appetites? Just earlier, Zan Song thought Su Wanwan was pretending to be ignorant to extort more money, it turned out he guessed wrong. Zan Song frowned deeply, wondering how to resolve the situation when Born but not raised, youre a disgrace to motherhood! Su Wanwans voice rang out. She had to clench her hands tightly to suppress the urge to p Lu Zixi. She said word by word, Since you didnt want Ziyang at the start, now Ziyang is living well, he doesnt need such an irresponsible mother like you! Nor does he need this lousy 50,000 yuan monthly alimony! And I, dont need your hush money! Having said that, she turned around and left right away. -Miss Su! Lu Zixi wanted to chase after her but suddenly, her vision darkened, and she copsed backwards. Zixi! Zan Song rushed up to support her. ** Su Wanwan stormed out of the office fuming. Su fellow student, is the conversation over? Su fellow student, Su fellow student? Despite calling several times, Su Wanwan, cold-faced, didnt turn her head, just walked straight into the elevator. The head teacher:. Helpless. If this happened in the past, she would have scolded her for disrespecting the teacher long ago, but ever since she found out shes the eldest daughter-inw of Huo Family, the wealthiest family in Nancheng Well, even if she acts high and mighty, he has to tolerate it. ** It wasnt until Su Wanwan came out of the elevator that she suddenly stopped. Then, she fiercely clenched her small fists in the air, scratching non-stop. How furious! Why be so impulsive? The money from that check they gave you just now, and that ne, you should have taken them first! Take it to buy toys, snacks for Ziyang, anything! Deal with other thingster. A full million there, you just tore it to pieces, are you a pig! Stupid pig! Su Wenwen was so angry that she looked up to the sky and howled, Ahhhhhh. Su fellow student? A clear and gentle male voice suddenly came from behind. Su Wanwan quickly closed her mouth and turned around to look. She saw Di Chenghe standing on the steps behind her, seemingly just havinge downstairs. He was wearing a dark navy coat, his ck jeans wrapping around his long legs, slightly tilting his head, he exuded a friendly elegance. What happened? he asked, Did something happen? Nothing. Su Wanwan was embarrassed. She didnt know how much he had seen She could only nod respectfully at him, Teacher, Im going to ss. Speak up if something is bothering you. Di Chenghe spoke softly, full of concern, I saw what happened at the forumst time. Even though the innocent have nothing to fear, you should have cleared things up sooner. Dont keep things bottled up, its not good for your health.. Chapter 385: 385, the tigress is investigating strictly Chapter 385: the tigress is investigating strictly Just tell me whats bothering you. Di Chenghe spoke gently, full of concern, I saw what happened at the forumst time. Though the innocent can stand tall, you should have rified it sooner. Dont keep all the trouble to yourself; its not good for your health. Su Wanwan felt even more embarrassed. So in his view, she had be a shy, timid female ssmate. Thankyou, teacher. Su Wanwan held onto her polite manners. I have to go back to ss now. Di Chengheughed, Sure, go on. Su Wanwan quickly turned around, only to trip on something in her way. Ouch! She stumbled and almost fell. Hehehe Di Chenghe let out a series of suppressedughs. Damn it. Su Wanwan blushed furiously, didnt look back, and almost ran away with her face beet red. How bloody embarrassing! ** Upon returning to the ssroom, Li Mochou looked at her with displeasure, but he didnt say anything. As soon as Su Wanwan sat down, Mo Weiyi sidled over. Wanwan, why did the homeroom teacher call you? For nothing. If it was nothing, then why were you absent for the entire ss? Mo Weiyi pouted. Baby Wanwan, you dont love me anymore. You dont tell me the truth, am I not your precious baby anymore? This made Su Wanwan shiver, You have Xiaobai, and he loves you. Thats enough. True. Mo Weiyi smiled sweetly. But I still want to know why the homeroom teacher called you. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Concentrate on your studies! Li Mochou, who was at the lectern, immediately looked over because she was too loud, What are you doing so noisily during ss? Mo Weiyi immediately sat up straight, not daring to act up again. The English ss ended quickly. In fact, throughout the lesson, Su Wanwans mind was elsewhere. She came to the conclusion that she should ask Huo Jingshen for advice. After all, he is Fu Ziyangs guardian in China. Moreover, he should also know some inside information about Fu Ziyangs mother. On the off chance that Lu Zixi really is Fu Ziyangs mother and even if she is an irresponsible woman, thepensation she should give to Ziyang should be returned to him in full! In this case, letting Huo Jingshen negotiate would be more persuasive than if she did it herself. So, when Mo Weiyi was ordering food in the cafeteria, Su Wanwan dialed Huo Jingshens number. ** At that moment, Huo Jingshen was dining with several city officials in a private room at a hotel, apanied by severalpany managers and his assistant, JiJie. Just as the wine was flowing, his smartphone rang. After a nce at the caller ID, he stood up straight away, Im sorry, but I need to take this call. One of the officials clearly wasnt pleased, Mr. Huo, this isnt proper. Ive just raised my ss and you say you He was twenty years older than Huo Jingshen and also the deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. As soon as he spoke, Huo Yuans subordinates immediately looked uneasy. After all, no matter how incredibly wealthy the Huo family was, they were still businessmen in China, and it was these governmental officials that they could least afford to offend. If they upset them, their future contract signings could be blocked, and that would be a real headache. Huo Jingshen didnt lose hisposure, and even cracked a small smile, My wife at home is fairly strict. If I dont answer this call, I might not even be allowed to sleep in our bed when I get home. Excuse me, gentlemen, I need a moment. Everyone: Only after Huo Jingshen had left did they react. So Mr. Huo is married despite being so young? And he s whipped ? What a good man! Very rare JiJie: ** In the corridor outside the private room. On the phone, Su Wanwan told him all about the morning events and then asked him, Is Lu Zixi really Ziyangs mother? No. Huo Jingshen immediately denied it. Then why did theye looking for me? Do you know she gave me a check for a million on the spot and a pearl ne that could be sold for four or five million? She also said they would give me five million to keep mum in the future and another fifty thousand every month thereafter. Wow, thats so much money Huo Jingshen massaged his temples, a faint smile in his eyes. Yes, so much money. He didnt expect this brat who was always short on cash to refuse it when money was delivered to her. The next second. Why did I tear that check up so impulsively! Ahhhh, I regret it so much. I feel like Im falling apart Huo Jingshen: He retracted his previous thought. Su Wanwan sighed in frustration, then asked, Are you sure that Lu Zixi is not Ziyangs mother? No. Then who is Zi Yangs mom? Huo Jingshen stuffed a cigarette between his thin lips, took a puff, and slowly responded, His mom is in Y Country. Oh. Su Wanwan asked another question, What should I do if Lu Zixies looking for me again? You dont need to worry about that, Jingshen finished and added, And dont tell Zi Yang. I understand. Better not build up too much hope and end up with bigger disappointment, Wanwan stated in an earnest tone. Huo Jingshen let out a quietugh, So, Baby is this understanding now? Fu Zi Yang was only five years old, a stage when he was still yearning for a mothers love. Ever since he learned Xiu Xin wasnt his biological mother, he would not only consider running away from home without telling anyone but would also start a covert private investigation. If Lu Zixi were to find him and tell him that shes his mom, but then a paternity test showed that shes not, the blow would be rather severe. With a few light coughs, Su Wanwan remarked, Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about this. Im going to have dinner now, goodbye. What are you having? Huo Jingshen asked, seemingly intrigued. With no other choice, Su Wanwan began listing her dishes, Hot chili fish head, stir-fried pork, charcoal-smoked tofu, sour cabbage fish, old duck Haha, Huo Jingshen couldnt help but interrupt her, Youre leaving your husband alone at home while you enjoy such fancy meals at school. Youre living quite the good life, arent you? Its not like I have this every day. Today Weiyi is treating, she replied. Huo Jingshen: After hanging up, Huo Jingshen stood in the hallway, sucked thest bit of his cigarette, and then dialed another number. Uncle Huo? Zi Yang, Huo Jingshen replied, eyes narrowed, The cold front is approaching, its going to be chilly. After school, wait in the ssroom for the drivers call, dont wait at the school gate. I understand, Uncle Huo. Okay, hanging up now. Goodbye, Uncle Huo. ** Wellington School. As soon as Fu Zi Yang hung up his little cellphone, he heard the ss teachers voice. Has everyone handed in the weekends essay homework to the ss monitor? Yes! the children chorused. This Friday evening, were taking a trip to the Phoenix Mountain Hot Spring Resort. Make sure your parents prepare your swimsuits in advance, and you can also bring some toys. We will organizepetitions, and there will be awards for the winners. Okay! As soon as the teacher left, Shi Luoluo, who shared a desk with Fu Zi Yang, asked, Fu Zi Yang, are you going to join us at the hot spring? Fu ZiYang nodded. Really? Shi Luoluo could barely believe it. After all, aside from attending school every day, Fu Zi Yang had never participated in any of the schools parent-child activities before. Fu Zi Yang pursed her little mouth and said, Uncle Huo and Aunt Wanwan areing with me. Yesterday, we even went shopping for swimsuits. Wow Shi Luoluos eyes widened in envy, But my parents are very busy with their work. Theyre currently overseas. Only Huanhuan is willing to go with me. How she envied that Fu Zi Yang had an uncle and an aunt to go with him. Its fine. Ill y with you when the timees. Fu Zi Yang replied, lowering his head somewhat awkwardly. Thats great. Shi Luoluo didnt notice any of this, her little mouth lifted into a big smile, Lets y with Prince Bo together then! FuZiYang: Could we not always include that chubby little boy every time we y? This third wheel was really annoying! ** Huangyou Investments. The Secretarys Office. Secretary Shi, your courier. A front deskdy came over and put down a parcel. What did you buy, Miss Shi? Shi Huan was studying a document on herputer and didnt have time to intervene. Her assistant, Xiaoliu, had already picked up the parcel. Arenna fashionable womens one-piece bikini ShiHuan: She lifted her head and stretched out her hand. Xiaoliu immediately returned it, her face flushed, Im sorry, Miss Shi. Its okay, Shi Huan didnt seem too perturbed, as she picked up the parcel. What bikini? a casual male voice suddenly came from the doorway. Startled, Xiaoliu turned around swiftly and quickly returned to her seat. The others all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word. Chu Xiuhuang was leaning casually against the door frame, his hands pocketed in his suit trousers. With a faint smirk on his thin lips, his eyes squinted slightly. Chapter 386: 386, disliked by others Chapter 386: disliked by others The angle of his leaning posture made his legs seem exceptionally long. However, in the secretarys office, no one was in the mood to admire his long legs. Everyone was standing on eggshells, feeling that their boss had been a bit off these past few days. He used to be elusive, making an appearance once a week was good enough. But these days, not only was heing in from nine to five, but he also attended all kinds of meetings big and small. This threw the wholepany into a state of unease, even suspecting that he was nning toy off staff at the end of the year. After all, many unscrupulous bosses liked to do this. They could save arge sum of year-end bonuses and social insurance payments, then hire cheaper neers Seeing no one talking, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his long eyebrows, looking towards Shi Huan, Secretary Shi? Shi Huan had no choice but to stand up and respond, Nothing in particr. Mr. Chu, do you need anything from me? However, Chu Xiuhuang nced at the parcel on her desk, answering her question irrelevantly, So Secretary Shi you like this kind of bikini, huh? The corner of Shi Huans mouth twitched slightly. Someone couldnt hold back a pfft sound, quickly covering their mouth. Because she needed to apany the little miss to her sss hot spring trip this weekend, Shi Huan had been too busy with work to go shoppingtely. So, she ordered a swimsuit online a few days ago. Actually, it was just a very conservative ck one-piece swimsuit, she had no idea why when it was delivered, the description on the package was so sensational? However, she was toozy to exin such a trivial matter in response. Since Secretary Shi has bought a new swimsuit. Chu Xiuhuang gave a slight smile, This week, lets have the departments team-building activity in the hotsprings. The usually quiet secretarys office instantly erupted with noise. Wow, hotsprings! Did I hear that right? Amazing! Long live Mr. Chu! Thank you, Mr. Chu! Youre wee. Youve all been working hard this year, eating meals for team building all the time is not interesting. Lets consider this one a way of giving back to the employees. Chu Xiuhuang smiled radiantly, Secretary Shi, you can arrange itter Sorry. Shi Huan suddenly interjected, Mr. Chu, I wont be able to attend this team-building event. Oh? Chu Xiuhuang retracted his smile, Reason? I already have ns this weekend. ns? With another man? Chu Xiuhuangs phoenix eyes narrowed in an instant. So, that so-called swimsuit was specially bought for a man to see? This secretary actually has a man? No wonder she bit his lips until they broke during their kiss that night. Secretary Shi would turn twenty-five after the new year, it would be normal for her to have a man, but He quickly looked her up and down, examining her closely. This woman had always worn this nun-like outfit in front of him, no matter the season, it never changed. Even during the scorching summer, she still wore this suit and trousersbo. She hardly ever showed her legs, let alone wore skirts. He even suspected that like those shampoo brands, she bought a dozen identical suits in bulk during a big sale. That made him chuckle. In front of him, she was cold and reserved, even conservative. But in private, she goes out on dates with men and wears this kind of swimsuit? He couldnt help but imagine a tiny bikini that only covered the key areas and was held together by a thin string. With a stern look on his handsome face, Chu Xiuhuang straightened his tall body, Then let Xiaoliu arrange it. This weekend, all the secretaries are going to go skiing. Skiskiing? Xiaoliu was so taken aback by this turnaround that he almost started stuttering. What happened to the agreed hot spring trip? Why did it suddenly turn into skiing? Chu Xiuhuang raised his head arrogantly, Strengthen your body, enhance resistance. Having said that, he turned around and left. A few secondster,ints filled the secretarys office: Why is Mr. Chu so unpredictable? Exactly, its so cold, it wouldve been so nice to soak in a hot spring! I hate skiing the most, its freezing cold, and you have to wear those thick ski suits! So ugly! And we might fall! Secretary Shi is so lucky, she doesnt need to go through all that! Yeah, Im really envious of Secretary Shi! Shi Huan: ** As soon as Chu Xiuhuang returned to his office, he started feeling upset. From the first day he met this woman, she was always cold and distant. After working with him for five or six years, nothing changed. Last time she merely brushed her small mouth against him, she bit him until his lips bled. Now she is turning around to go on a date with another man? And wearing a bikini? Damn it! Is he, Chu Xiuhuang, so detestable? Thus, throughout the afternoon, the staff at Huangyou felt as if they were walking in a minefield. When a newly graduated intern ran out of the presidents office crying No one dared to step into Chu Xiuhuangs office so casually anymore. Documents that needed to be signed were put off until tomorrow, perhaps by then Chu would return to his normal mood. Everyones thoughts were aligned: Chu, isnt it better to remain the wealthy, idling son you always were? At least thepanys secretary Shi Huan is pulling her weight. ** Five oclock in the afternoon. The door was suddenly knocked a few times. Come in, Chu Xiuhuang yelled, slouched on his executive chair, his legs propped high on the desk, his demeanor nonchnt and untamed. Upon seeing the woman entering, he raised his brow, Who let you in? Hello, Mr. Chu, my name is Wu Shanshan. Wu Shanshan entered carrying a fur coat, currently sporting a fiery red evening gown, an off-shoulder low-neck ultra short style, her wavy long hair resting over her shoulders. Her movements were making Chu Xiuhuang dizzy. She didnt dare to be disrespectful, only constantly scratching her head and adjusting her posture, whining in a coquettish voice, Mr. Chu, Ms. Shi said I will be apanying you to Huashangs banquet tonight. Do you think Im dressed appropriately? Ms. Shi? Chu Xiuhuang squinted, his tone somewhat dangerous. Yes. Wu Shanshan flipped her hair, making sure not to block her bosom. Apanying Mr. Chu to a banquet is an opportunity many women throughout Nancheng would envy. She needed to seize this chance! Maybe she could elevate her status You can leave now. Wu Shanshans dream burst in an instant, stunned for a moment, she finally found her voice, But Ms. Shi said that everything is set and Ive also paired this dress with matching jewelry, Mr. Chu Chu Xiuhuang impatiently picked up the phone, quickly pressed the inte, and tersely spoke three words: Get in here! Within ten seconds, the office door was knocked once more. Shi Huan walked in, Mr. Chu. Little Huanhuan, you are truly a good secretary to me. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face radiated coldness, and he wore a sinister sardonic smile, Did I ask you to arrange for me a femalepanion, huh? Shi Huan was neither humble nor overbearing, Mr. Chu, all the blind dates arranged by your grandfather have already ended. So thats why youve arranged a woman? Shi Huan was speechless, Mr. Chu, are you dissatisfied with Miss Wu? She had carefully reviewed the information. Five feet, seven inches tall, size 38, D cup, 24 years old, and shes a model. Cloaked in that red evening dress, entuating her good figure. If he brought her out it wouldnt be embarrassing at all, right? Bang! Chu Xiuhuang mmed his fist on the table, Im unsatisfied with you! To the side, Wu Shanshan was somewhat frightened. Left with no choice, Shi Huan spoke up, MissWu, Imsorry, could you please leave first? Wu Shanshans face flushed, baffled, Ms. Shi, are you asking me to leave now? But my dress and jewelry are all You can email me the receiptster, Ill reimburse you. Upon hearing Shi Huan s words, Wu Shanshan immediately nodded, Alright then. Despite her unwillingness, she could only leave with a faint smile. At least she scored a set of evening wear and jewelry. Once the door closed, Chu Xiuhuangs voice once again hung in the air with a cold chill, Ms. Shi, are you doing this on purpose? Mr. Chu, what do you mean? I havent healed my lips and youre already arranging femalepanions for me? Chu Xiuhuang thumped the table with each word, the usation intense. Shi Huan: Actually, she really wants to say But such crass words, she ultimately couldnt utter. Pressing her fingers together, she spoke up again, What do you mean then, Mr. Chu? Tonight youll apany me to the banquet. Chu Xiuhuang leaned back in his chair, ordering around. Alright, Shi Huan nodded, without any strong feelings of resistance. After all, it was not the first time. Whenever Mr. Chu was not happy with the femalepanion she chose, she would always apany him instead. But your outfit isnt eptable, Chu Xiuhuang began to nitpick again, Change into a skirt, dont tarnish the image of Huangyou. Shi Huan pushed her sses up, Mr. Chu, I am but a secretary. Secretaries also represent the image of thepany. Im notfortable wearing skirts. Then start getting used to it now. Chapter 387: 387, deliberately annoying me Chapter 387: deliberately annoying me After a brief silence. I understand. Shi Huan responded in her usual business-like tone, Does Mr. Chu have any other orders? No. Then Ill go and prepare. Once the door closed, a mischievous smile yed on Chu Xiuhuangs lips. Secretary Shi dressing in a skirt? Well, why do I suddenly look forward to it? * Tonight, theres a jewelry exhibition banquet on the second floor of Huashang Hotel. in such events, men usually showed off their riches while womenpeted in beauty and charm. In the past, Chu Xiuhuang would always bring a femalepanion to such events, be it an inte celebrity, a model, a female star, or a socialite. Born into nobility and blessed with handsome features, Chu Xiuhuang always made a showy appearance, capturing everyones attention and flooding Weibo and gossip forums the next day. But today- in the car heading to the hotel, Chu Xiuhuang, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Shi Huan sitting beside him with a look of distaste. He asked her to change into a skirt. True, she did, but she chose a ck A-line skirt that matched her ck suit. The skirts length reached her knees and was impermeable, making her look old-fashioned. Whats worse, she wore thick ck stockings underneath. Is this any different? Did she not just substitute trousers for a skirt? Therefore Secretary Shi, are you really so fond of the color ck? Chu Xiuhuang asked, genuinely curious and raising an eyebrow. She wore ck suits year-round, and most of her other clothes were also ck. Shouldnt a girl her age like dressing up like Mo Weiyi, prefer brightly coloured, shy clothes? ck is versatile. Shi Huans reply was straightforward. Chu Xiuhuang: After a while. Secretary Shi, take off your sockster. Shi Huan quickly nced at her boss beside her, Mr. Chu, the temperature in Nancheng drops to minus one degree after 6 oclock. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched, The banquet is indoors, what are you afraid of cold for? Shi Huan frowned, Taking them off and putting them back on is troublesome and can easily cause a cold. Chu Xiuhuang felt like hitting someone, When I tell you to take them off, just do it. Where does all this nonsensee from? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me? Shi Huan: Okay. Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fists out of frustration. How could she be so verbose? Are other peoples secretaries also this annoying? A boss annoyed by his secretary? Or has he been spoiling her too much over the years? Upon this thought, Chu Xiuhuangs face turned serious, his voice more stern and cold, Secretary Shi, I dont want to repeat myself a third time when I speak. You must do whatever I ask, understand? I understand. Her obedient answer finally made Chu Xiuhuang feel a little better. * * Upon reaching Huashang Hotel, Shi Huan parked the car in the VIP parking spot, Mr. Chu, you go in first, Im going to the restroom to take off my socks. Why bother going that far! Just take them off right here! Shi Huan was taken aback, Here? I dont like waiting for women. You take them off here, and we 11 go in together once youre done. But Its just a pair of socks, not anything else. Saying so, Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face broke into his habitual wicked grin, Whats the matter, Little Huanhuan, are you shy? Shi Huan didnt think she had anything to be shy about, so she casually said, In that case, its bothering Mr. Chu to close his eyes. I wont! Chu Xiuhuang refused outright. Shi Huan: She looked at him, through the thick lenses, his eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of iprehension. In the end, it was Chu Xiuhuang whopromised. Fine. He turned his face towards the window. This should be enough, right? Did you know that you are the first woman in this world who doesnt even let me look at her in front of me! So many women have stripped their clothes off, begging me to look, I dont even give a damn about them, but you, heh. Thankyou, Mr. Chu. Shi Huan arched her brow sarcastically. Seeing him turn his face away, she immediately started. At this moment, she was very d for her summer office attire. She was wearing real stockings under her dress, not pantyhose. Otherwise, she would rather die than perform this kind of act in the car. She bowed her head, trying not to lift her dress, pulling the stocking on her left leg down to her knee from under her dress first, and then doing the same to the stocking on her right leg. Then she bent over, took off the two shoes on her feet, lifted her legs, and took off the two stockingspletely, one after the other. Her heart was undistracted, but she didnt know that Chu Xiuhuang, although his face was turned away, watched her from start to finish through the rear- view mirror. He initially thought Secretary Shi was overly conservative, even making such a fuss over removing her stockings, asking him to close his eyes, as if afraid that he would see something indecent? Only when he realized that the angle of the rear-view mirror on the right was not adjusted properly, he could see the womans movements from his position Chu Xiuhuang smirked and shamelessly watched. He watched the woman carefully pull her ck stockings from under her skirt, bit by bit. Especially in the end, she lifted her leg, under her ck dress, her calf was bent- Straight, slender, beautifully proportioned, even her kneecaps looked delicate and beautiful, under the bright car lights, her legs looked white it was slightly dazzling. After her legs were returned to their position, Shi Huan rolled up her stockings and put them in her bag. She then fixed her skirt and calmly said, All done, Mr. Chu. We can go now. But Chu Xiuhuang didnt move. Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Chu? Following his line of sight out the window, she thought there might be a beautiful woman passing by that caught his attention, but instead Get out of the car first and go wait for me inside. Chu Xiuhuangs voice finally sounded, but he sounded like he suddenly had a cold, his voice was hoarse. Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows even more, Mr. Chu, whats wrong? Chu Xiuhuang, with his face still turned to the side, said, Wait for me in the banquet hall on the second floor. II II Despite the confusion Thinking of what Chu Xiuhuang had said earlier, not wishing to repeat himself a third time Shi Huan nodded, Mr. Chu, I will go wait for you. Having said that, she immediately got out of the car. Chu Xiuhuang remained seated in the same position, his head only turned after she had gotten out of the car, his eagle-like gaze following her slender figure through the car window. Night fell, with the first lights of the evening shining. The men and womening and going on the first floor were all dressed up to attend the banquet. Men in suits, women in magnificent dresses, and then there was her, in a simple and conservative ck suit, with shoulder-length hair. Perhaps because it was cold, after a few steps, she started to run. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang abruptly cursed. His slender eyes were filled with shock and regret. What the hell! What is happening to him? Why again Chu Xiuhuang suddenly fell into an unprecedented confusion. * * Second floor, banquet hall. Shi Huan entered the hall and took a look, then walked towards the sofa area in the corner. She was nning to wait for Chu Xiuhuang quietly, and then apany him for the banquet. However Shi Huan? Shi Huan looked up and saw the neer. She had to stand up. Ms. Chu. Chu Jingyi was wearing a red evening gown that entuates her figure. She raised her hand and put them together, her meticulously made-up face was cold, So tonight, are you once again filling in as my brothers date? She emphasized the words filling in. Shi Huan nodded indifferently, Yes. Shi Huan, how many times do I have to tell you? You cant be that dense, can you? There was no one else in the sofa area. Chu Jingyi spoke without sugar-coating, My brother only felt sorry for you back then, which was why he allowed you, a high school dropout, to work with him. Over the years, he has done more than enough for you and the Shi family. If you leave now and go to any otherpany, I guarantee your ie would not be lower than it is at Huangyou, it might even be higher. Ms. Chu, you have misunderstood, Shi Huans voice was calm and undisturbed, I have worked at Huangyou for five years and Im ustomed to it. As long as Mr. Chu doesnt fire me, I dont see a reason to quit. So you want to cling to my brother? Chu Jingyi sneered, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain. You used to be so secretive. Ever since I returned to Nancheng, tell me, how many times have you tried to get in touch with our Chu family? Chapter 388: 388, do you despise me this much? Chapter 388: do you despise me this much? So youre trying to stick to my brother, arent you? Chu Jingyi curled her red lips, her eyes full of undisguised contempt for Shi Huan. You used to keep it slightly hidden, but ever since I returned to Nancheng, how many times have you tried to contact the Chu family? She began to count. First, you came with Ahuang to attend my grandfathers birthday party, then you entered our mansion using the kids as an excuse. Are you trying to use the Chu family as a stepping stone? And getting along so well with Su Wanwan? Now, this is the second time youve apanied my brother to a public event. Shi Huan saw the tall and slender figure approaching them. She quickly excused herself, Im sorry, I need to leave for a moment. Just when she was about to leave, Chu Jingyi suddenly grabbed her arm, were not finished talking yet. Did I tell you that you can leave? After she finished speaking, Chu Jingyi gave a fierce push. Chu Jingyi was one meter seven four tall and was wearing almost ten centimeters high heels. Shi Huan, who was just one meter six five tall and wearing ck heels, was pushed backward onto the couch due to the strong push and height difference. It didnt really hurt, but Chu Xiuhuangs voice rang out in discontent, Sis, what are you doing? Chu Jingyi was taken aback. Turning around, her face returning to its usual noble ice-cold expression, Ahuang, cant you find another femalepanion? Why did you bring this woman again today What I asked was Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, his handsome face expressionless, lips tight, jaw clenched, each word precise, What exactly are you doing? For the first time, Chu Jingyi saw an emotion resembling anger on his face. In an instant, she clenched her fists, Ahuang, are you ming me? Chu Xiuhuang came over and extended his hand to Shi Huan who was on the sofa. Shi Huan was somewhat perplexed, not understanding his intentions. Then, Chu Xiuhuang bent over slightly, and directly took her hand with his. With a hard pull, Shi Huan was pulled up to her feet by him. Following that, Chu Xiuhuang tugged at her again. Before she could let out an exmation, Shi Huans shoulder was already held by a strong hand, the mans firm and tight heat transferring to her. Chu Xiuhuang ced one hand on her shoulder, pulling her close beside him. He lifted his chin and spoke with his cold, proud lips, Miss Shi is mypanion for tonight. Disrespecting her means disrespecting me. So, sister, are you trying to p my face? Do you even understand what youre saying? Chu Jingyi challenged. Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, warning her with a low and threatening tone, I dont want to see this again. Otherwise, dont me me for not considering our familial ties. With that said, Chu Xiuhuang strode away with his arm around Shi Huan. Chu Jingyi stood there, stunned for a long moment. Her younger brother had always been stubborn and unruly since childhood. As he grew older, he garnered quite an unsavory reputation outside. However, in the Chu family, a schstic aristocratic family who pay great attention to their reputation, hes always been polite and humble. But just now, was he warning her? Did Ahuang, who had always been extremely respectful to his twin sister, actually threaten her because of that lowly woman? Was he warning her? Chu Jingyi struggled to ept this reality. Once they reached the lobby, Shi Huan immediately asked, Mr. Chu, you can let go of me now. His hand on her shoulder, even though it was through her clothes, felt like a hot potato and made her feel very ufortable. Especially at this banquet tonight. All the influential figures of Nancheng had been invited, including some familiar faces from other affluent families. Chu Xiuhuang was like a shining star, stealing attention wherever he went She had already noticed many people looking over, both men and women, and whispering amongst themselves. However, she didnt want to see her photos all over the gossip forums the next day. Mr. Chu? Chu Xiuhuang acted as if he didnt hear, and continued walking with her in his arms. He even felt quitefortable in this position. In public, its usually the femalepanion who would hook her arm through his. He had a strong dislike for physical contact, considering their makeup vulgar and their perfume low quality. Even touching his fingers made him feel like it was unsanitary. So this was his first time holding a woman like this in public. Shes so petite! She only reached up to his chest. His arm looselyy on her shoulder, it was veryfortable, very easy. As they walked, they touched slightly. He could smell the natural freshness that came from her. So this is what it felt like when couples walk arm in arm? It seemed quite nice. Just as he was about to enjoy the moment a bit more Mr. Chu! Shi Huan couldnt stand it anymore, she directly stopped walking and stood by the side. Her arm slid down. The vanishing touch made Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows knit together in displeasure. Seeing Shi Huan was also frowning, he blurted out, Do you really hate me that much? Shi Huan was taken aback, What dislike? Chu Xiuhuang, A few secondster, he opened his thin lips again, calmly and without a trace of panic, What I mean to say is, cant you just lift (dislike) your hair? As expected, Shi Huan immediately countered, Why should I lift my hair? Why did she feel that Master Chu was being oddtely? She had known him for so many years and worked together for five, but the recent Chu Xiuhuang seemed like a different person. She hardly recognized him anymore. Chu Xiuhuang slowly put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and hooked one side of his thin lips, watching her with a smile that wasnt really a smile. The banquet halls luxurious crystal chandelier hung overhead, and the light poured down, making Shi Huan look small standing in front of him. Her ck suit made her look even more delicate and beautiful, her mid-length ck hair that hadnt been styled, hung down either side of her face, glowing softly under the light. But her face was almostpletely covered by her hairstyle and ck-frame sses. It was hard to see her features, only revealing her small nose and pink lips. She didnt even wear any lipstick, but he had known how sweet they were at the club that night. An emotion shed through his eyes. Then, he suddenly reached out. Because it was so sudden, Shi Huan was not prepared at all. She felt a light touch on her nose, a blur shed before her eyes, and her biack-framed sses fell into Chu Xiuhuangs hand. Without the cover of the dark-rimmed sses, her small and white face was revealed, her beautiful eyes just staring at him, their expressions bewildered and lost, looking pitiful. Chu Xiuhuang was slightly startled for a moment. In just a few seconds, a series of images shed through his mind so quickly that he couldnt catch them Then, Shi Huan had reacted. She quickly snatched the ck-framed sses from Chu Xiuhuangs hand and hastily put them back on. Why did you take off my sses? she asked angrily. Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows twitched, and he coughed lightly before responding, Why would you wear such fake-looking sses when you clearly dont have myopia? He had seen nearsighted people wearing sses before, which had degrees circled on the lens, which Shi Huans sses didnt have. Because it makes me look more mature, which is conducive to work. Shi Huan answered, revealing nothing. Chu Xiuhuang: His eyes narrowed, he was just about to speak Xiuhuang. Shi Huan quickly turned around. Seeing the neer, she immediately nodded with a light smile, Mr. Huo. The one who arrived was Huo Jingshen. In his meticulously tailored ck suit, he was elegant and noble, but Big brother. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, Why didnt you bring that little girl of yours? Huo Jingshen hooked his thin lips casually, Shes been busy preparing for her final exam. Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, No wonder youre all by yourself, married but no sex life, you what exactly are you picturing, huh? Shi Huan: Huo Jingshen: Nancheng University. It was already nine 0 clock when Su Wanwan returned to her dormitory. She put down her book and was about to take a bath when her phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, she saw that Huo Jingshen had sent some photos. There were several, all of jewelry, with a line of text at the bottom: [Baby, which one do you like?] So Su Wanwan examined them carefully. Pearl earrings? She usually didnt wear any, and the design in this photo was too exaggerated for her everyday wear. Ruby ne? Last time, Huo Jingshen bought a jade ne, and she hadnt really worn it, but since she already had it, she didnt need another. Jade bracelet? Su Wanwan thought of the priceless heirloom bracelet that Mrs. Huo had given her. It was nicer and more expensive than this one. A ring? At this point, Huo Jingshen sent another message, [You have to choose one!] Helpless, Su Wanwan randomly copied the picture of a ring from the chat box and sent it back. [Lets go with this one.] Chapter 389: 389, Declaring Sovereignty? Chapter 389: Dering Sovereignty? Who would have thought [So, the sweetheart wants to wear a wedding ring with her husband to stake her im?] Su Wanwan was taken aback. Was this wedding ring? Why was there only one ring in the picture? And its price was the lowest ** ** Banquet hall. Chu Xiuhuang slipped one hand into his suit trousers pocket, leaning against a ss cab, with a smirk, said seductively, You,e over. The staff immediately scrambled over to attend to him, Mr. Chu, do you see any jewelry you like? This one ring. Mr. Chu has a good eye. Actually, thises in a pair for a man and a woman, a limited edition worldwide under this brand. There are only five pairs in China and they can be used as wedding rings. The staff were brown-nosing, Would Mr. Chu like to try it on? If the size isnt right, we can adjust it immediately. Chu Xiuhuangs smile deepened, Sure. After saying that, he waved a couple of times to the back. So, Shi Huan, who was originally talking with a client, had no choice but toe over, Mr. Chu. The staff had brought out the pair of diamond rings. Chu Xiuhuang pointed with his finger, You try on. Okay, Shi Huan didnt think too much about it. After all, it wasnt the first time experiencing something like this. Mr. Chu was known for being a big spender,vishing gifts on women. As a secretary helping to test the quality or style Ill take these rings. Huo Jingshens cold voice suddenly resounded. Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows raised as he looked at the mature and distinguished man next to him, Big Brother, youre not going to seize it from me, are you? Huo Jingshen didnt even nce at him, Wrap it up for me. The staff, who was about to hand one of thedies diamond rings to Shi Huan, was immediately caught in a dilemma. Chu Xiuhuang was the eldest son of the Chu family, reckless and audacious, known for his many scandals. He was the man everyone in Nancheng both loved and feared. Who would dare offend him? On the other hand, Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson of the Huo family. Although he was more low-key and reserved than Mr. Chu, his wealth and family background were undeniable. The staff couldnt dare to offend him either. What should they do? So Chu Xiuhuang smirked, Big Brother, I saw it first. It appeared as if Huo Jingshen had only noticed his presence now. His narrow and deep eyes looked at him, his voice indifferent, Whats a bachelor who doesnt even have a proper girlfriend doing buying a pair of rings? Damn! Chu Xiuhuang straightened up, Cant I give it to my secretary? The named secretary, Shi Huan, quickly said, Mr. Chu, I cant ept this gift. If I give it to you, take it. Whats all this about whether you can or cant? Mr. Chu, please dont make this difficult for me. Chu Xiuhuang was almost choked by his own anger. Damn it. So many women beg for his gifts, and when he kindly gives her a ring, can she not beg him not to give it and say dont put her in a difficult position? Ms. Secretary, are you a woman? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened, Have you heard the saying? Diamonds are a womans best friend. Shi Huan adjusted her ck-rimmed sses, Mr. Chu, do you really know what the ring symbolizes? Whatever it signifies, its merely a piece of jewelry. I can gift it to whoever I want. Chu Xiuhuang answered arrogantly. Shi Huan curved the corners of her lips, But the name of this pair of diamond rings isTogether for Life. Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow again, So? The smile on Shi Huans lips deepened as she turned to Huo Jingshen, Mr. Huo, this pair of diamond rings is very beautiful and has a great name. Im sure Mrs. Huo will love it. Chu Xiuhuang sneered immediately, His wife is busy studying every day, noting home, couldnt even make it to bed, and hes talking about Together forLifeshh! He looked down at his ck leather shoes, then slowly turned to the shameless old man in front of him, What are you stepping on me for? Shi Huan was taken aback. Huo Jingshen remained expressionless, only the corners of his lips curved into a faint smirk, It was just an ident. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched, Huh. If youre going to im it was an ident, Ill write my name backwards! The old man is wicked! Narrowing his eyes, he couldnt help but lean in and whisper, If it werent for seeing how pitiful you are in your desires, I wouldnt even give it to you. However, Huo Jingshen responded as if he hadnt heard him, and said to Shi Huan, Ms. Shi has good taste. Shi Huan could just respond with a smile. And then, Huo Jingshen nced at Chu Xiuhuang again,unching another attack, Not like someone, who is shallow. Am I shallow? Chu Xiuhuang could only sneer again, Ha, youre deep, you Huo Jingshen! Huo Jingshen couldnt be bothered to argue with him. A thirty-year-old man who acted like a child, so immature! Everyone has a responsibility to love children with intellectual disabilities. He looked at the staff with deep eyes, Can you wrap it up for me? Of course, Mr. Huo. The staff were overjoyed and quickly got to work. Ten minutester. Looking at Huo Jingshen taking his victorious leave with a triumphant back, Chu Xiuhuangs face was as ck as the bottom of a pot. Unhappy! Very unhappy! Sowhen Shi Huans voice rang out, Mr. Chu, Ill go and attend to the guests first. Stop! Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Chu, do we need to try anything else? Chu Xiuhuang slipped one hand into his trousers pocket, tilted his head, gestured at all the jewelry on disy with his other hand as if he owned the ce, and in an overbearing tone, I will take everything in this disy area. Shi Huan was surprised. Take all? What does that mean? But the staffs eyes immediately sparkled. They excitedly rushed over, Mr. Chu, do you mean you want all the jewelry here? Correct! Here! Now! Ill take all of them! ChuXiuhuangs words were deliberate and emphasized. After speaking, there was an evil grin on either side of his lips, So, Ms. Shi, now all the jewelry here belongs to you. Arent you happy? Chapter 390: 390, the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area Chapter 390: the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area Yes, here! Now! I bought it all! Chu Xiuhuang stressed every word, and raised bothers of his mouth in a wicked smile, So, Secretary Shi, all the jewelry here now belongs to you. Are you happy? Everyone around had quickly gathered, forming a circle around the two. Men apuded, and women screamed. Shi Huan stood there,pletely dumbfounded. ** The next morning, the inte slowed to a crawl as a variety of shy headlines flooded the front pages of all major gossip forums. [Chus Eldest Young Master, the man who hired the entire jewelry exhibition area!] [Sshing billions, just for a womans smile!) [Nanchengs most capricious man: Chu Xiuhuang!] [Brother Fire Emperor: The man who constantly boosts Nancheng1 s GDP! ] [Someone elses boss: The man who shockingly gave his secretary a whole section of exhibited jewelry! ] The Military Districtspound. Huo Family. Morning exercise, breakfast. After finishing, Old Master Huo sat in the Taishi Chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the first-floor living room, reading the paper, Old Lady Huo was tidying up the living room, moving to the rhythm of the Mu Guiying Takes Command ying on the phonograph. Bang! Old Master Huo suddenly threw the newspaper on the floor. Whats gotten into you, old man? Old Lady Huo was startled. Old Master Huo picked up the newspaper again, not uttering a word, his face straight. Yet, he ignored the news about Chu Xiuhuang. He usually didnt pay much attention to such things, but ever since Oh, isnt this Ahuang? Old Lady Huo came over, then pointed at the picture of Shi Huan, Isnt this Old Lady Huos memory isnt good, and despite trying hard, she couldnt remember the name. Old Huo, oh, everyone is here. Whats going on? Old Lady Huo turned around and greeted with a grin, Old Chu, what brings you here so early? Just visiting. Master Chu had two walnuts in his hand. As he walked, he kept rotating them and remarked, The show is really good. And then he began to sing along, When the court is in chaos, the generals strive for promotion. But when the beacon res, Yangs family gets themanders seal Old Master Huo gave him a disgusted look, The family is on the verge of ruin, and you still feel like singing! Old Lady Huo couldnt help but snicker. Master Chu was taken aback, What did you say? Old Master Huo threw the newspaper on the coffee table, Take a look for yourself, the entire entertainment section is filled with photos of your grandson! Master Chu hurried over and picked up the newspaper. Goodness, my grandson sure is handsome! Old Master Huo: Shameless! He counted to himself, 1,2,3. As expected. That rascal! Wasting money again! Master Chu was so furious that he almost rip the newspaper in two. Then the next second. Isnt this Secretary Shi? Right! I remember now! Lady Huo also said excitedly, Her name is Shi Huan! Shes Ahuangs secretary, a decent youngdyWhy are you leaving, Old Chu? Master Chu didnt turn back. As soon as he got back to Chus house, he called his grandson. The call was soon picked up, and Chu Xiuhuangs carefree voice rang out, What do you need from me this early, grandpa? You rascal! Old Master Chu was livid, What were you messing around withst night? Dont use your secretary as a shield every time you get into some scandalous situation with women! Shes a decent youngdy, not like those cheap women you hang out with! You tormented her sister once, isnt that enough? Are you nning to torment her now? Grandpa, I dont like your words, what does it mean I tormented? Was it really my fault? That incident from that year In any case, Huanhuan hasnt had it easy these past few years, from eighteen until now, she has been working like a horse for thepany, without her, could you live the life you have today? Hurry up and rify the news, how will the Shi family view us otherwise? Heh. Chu Xiuhuang offered noment. You rascal, did you hear what I just said? Got it, Im hanging up now, I have work to do. Master Chu checked the time, it was only a bit past eight. The sun is up from the west now, are you really going to start working? His own grandson was the smartest in the Chu family, and also the best-looking. However, my father passed away early, and as the saying goes, A doting mother often spoils her child. My mothers education was inevitably biased towards indulgence, which has nurtured my current unrestrained and domineering character. Frowning, Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Im ambitious, arent you happy about it, old man? The old man kept a straight face, but soon he couldnt help butugh, If you can find a good girl from a good family and settle down soon, Id be even happier! It would be best if you can give me a great-grandson to hold, ah. As he spoke, he couldnt help but sigh again, Look at Ashen, hes been abroad for so many years and didnt find a wife. But once he returned to China, he quietly got married! Why dont you have anyone? ChuXiuhuangchuckled, Goodbye! Before the old master Chu could react, the call had been hung up. ** Shi Huan had no idea that she had made the news. She got up early, quickly dressed herself and the little girl, and then drove the Cayenne that Chu Xiuhuang had given her to take Luoluo to school. Who knew that it would rain this morning, the road was wet and slippery, and there was a traffic ident on the third ring road. They made it to the school just in time to avoid beingte after the arduous drive. After getting out of the car, Shi Huan held an umbre in one hand and Luoluos with the other, and ran to the school entrance. She held up a little umbre for the little girl and handed it to her, Alright, go to ss. Shi Luoluo held the fringed little umbre, cocking her little head to look at her, Huanhuan, have you bought the swimsuit? Yes, I have. Shi Huan suddenly remembered that because she had apanied Chu Xiuhuang to the banquet yesterday, the swimsuit was left in her office. Shi Luoluo tilted her little head, Is it the matching pink one like mine? Um, I bought a ck one. Why didnt you buy a pink one! Shi Luoluo pouted, We said we were going to wear matching outfits! Okay, next time Ill wear pink with you. Shi Huan patted the little girls head, Go into ss. Shi Luoluo looked behind her, Fu Ziyang! Shi Huan turned and saw Fu Ziyang walking over. Dressed in a thick camouge down jacket, wearing the schools uniform underneath, he held a little ck umbre, his expression as solemn as the umbre itself. However, when he got close, he broke into an official smile and said, Hello, sister. Shi Huan also gave a small smile, then said, Alright, Im off to work. After Shi Huan left, Shi Luoluo huffed, Huanhuan tricked me again! What did she trick you about? Fu Ziyang asked. We agreed to wear pink swimsuits together, but she secretly bought a ck one, hmph! Fu Ziyang: As the two were about to walk through the entrance, a womans voice suddenly rang out from behind, Ziyang! Fu Ziyang was startled, then turned around. He saw a man and a woman standing in front of him, the man holding a huge ck umbre, the woman standing under it. Over her red dress, she wore arge ck down jacket. It was raining and the sky was gray, she had sunsses and mask on her face, was wrapped in a thick scarf, and the hood of her down jacket was also on her head. The outfit was bizarre to the extreme! Scared, Shi Luoluo hid behind Fu Ziyang and whispered, Fu Ziyang, are they bad people? Scared, Shi Luoluo hid behind Fu Ziyang and whispered, Fu Ziyang, are they bad people? Fu Ziyang asked, Are you guys looking for me? Lu Zixi, somewhat excited, quickly walked forward. Zhuo Song quickly followed with the umbre. Upon reaching them, Lu Zixi crouched down, then removed her mask, whispering, Ziyang, its me. Fu Ziyang looked at her. The actress from the cinema that day! Fu Ziyang. Shi Luoluo pulled at his down jacket, her little face full of fear, her voice barely a whisper, as if afraid of being overheard, Huanhuan said, we should not talk to strangers. Who knew Fu Ziyang would say, I know them. Who are they to you? Fu Ziyang pursed his lips, Luoluo, you go to ss first, dont bete. But Shi Luoluo was torn. She didnt want to bete, but she was worried about Fu Ziyangs safety. Lu Zixi quickly reassured her, Little friend, dont be scared, Im not a bad person. Shi Luoluo snorted immediately, Huanhuan said thats how bad people trick children. Lu Zixi: Fu Ziyang had to say, Luoluo, you go to ss first, Ille find you after I finish talking with them. Shi Luoluo finally nodded, Okay then. As she left, she kept looking back, feeling uneasy. Once Shi Luoluo entered the school gate, Fu Ziyang got straight to the point, What did you want to see me for? Chapter 391: 391, Fu Ziyang has been kidnapped? Chapter 391: Fu Ziyang has been kidnapped? When Shi Luoluo walked into the school gate, Fu Ziyang asked straightforwardly, Did you want to speak to me about something? Lu Zixi didnt know what to say. She looked at the little boy in front of her and gradually lost her focus. He was so beautiful. His little face was white and tender, with delicate features. Every bit of him exuded nobility from head to toe. He was so different from other children his age. Even though he was only five years old, his face showed maturity and calmness beyond his age. Whether it was his speech, tone, or the way he treated people, he seemed like a precocious little adult. Even their sudden visit didnt surprise or scare him. Instead, he behaved more calmly than her. Fu Ziyang looked at her face, blinked twice and asked with his clear voice, Are you my mom? I, Lu Zixi stammered. Fu Ziyang then asked, Are you afraid others would find out? Thats why you dare not admit it? Upon hearing this, Lu Zixis eyes reddened, Im sorry, Ziyang, I didnt mean it I Fu Ziyang nodded, All adults say the same. When his father told him about the divorce, he was furious. His father told him that Xiu Xin was not his biological mother, and that the divorce was meant to marry his biological mother. His father imed he didnt intentionally deceive him, heh. Ziyang, I, Lu Zixi began. I have to go to ss now. Fu Ziyang checked his tiny watch. He was about to bete. Following Fu Ziyangs gaze, Lu Zixi noticed his watch. It was a limited edition model from a renowned brand. Being in the entertainment industry, she was somewhat familiar with luxury brands. This brand originated from the European royal family and was initially exclusively designed and sold internally. Because of its high-end status, without certain social standing, ordinary people simply couldnt purchase it. The little childrens watch on Fu Ziyangs wrist might not seem significant, but it cost at least millions of Euros. Giving such an expensive watch to such a small child it seemed his life over the past five years was much better than she had imagined. Ziyang. Lu Zixi said, Can youe with me to a ce? Where? The hospital. Fu Ziyang immediately asked, Will it be for a paternity test? Lu Zixi was surprised at how smart this child was. Next moment, I wont do it. Lu Zixi was taken aback, Why? Fu Ziyang lifted his little chin and coolly said, I just dont want to. The school bell rang, and Fu Ziyang turned around and left. Panic-stricken, Lu Zixi tried to hold his little arm, Ziyang! Ziyang, wait! Fu Ziyang was forced to stop, he frowned and looked at her. Zan Song was looking around all along. Seeing security looking in their direction, he quickly stepped forward and said, Lets take him to the hospital directly. Lu Zixi was hesitant, But is it really right to do so? You have an early morning flight to Chengdu tomorrow. Do we have time to waste? After he finished speaking, Zan Song covered Fu Ziyangs mouth with one hand and picked him up with the other, heading toward the road. Initially, Lu Zixi was worried that the little guy would yell and attract passersby or security, but unexpectedly, Fu Ziyang was quiet and cooperative during the sudden assault. He didnt make any noise. So, they quickly left in a ck Audi. Soon, the entrance of the school regained its peace. ** Nangong Hospital. Nangong Ci arrived at his office, lounging on the sofa, constantly scrolling through his phone. Whenever he found something funny, he would screenshot it and send it to the WJY WeChat group. In no time, he had posted more than twenty messages. Finally someone felt provoked. Chu Xiuhuang:[Would you finally fucking stop, Is the hospital going to shut down?] Nangong Ci:[Xiu, Im just showing concern for my idol! How can you be so extravagant? How much did all those jewels and essories cost? Did you really give them all to your secretary?] Lu Chenyu:[Bitch.] Nangong CirjChen, youre calling Xiu a bitch, right?] Lu Chenyu:[Heh.] Nangong CirjSmiling on the outside, cursing on the inside. Chen, I get you!] Ming Jing:[Xiu, have you really fallen out of love? Dont want Chen anymore?] Nangong Ci:[As a fan of you guys as a pair, my heart is shattered.] Chu Xiuhuang:[One more word, and Ill wreckyour sexual orientation!] Lu Chenyu:[Continue heh.] Nangong Ciughed loudly, until his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he hurriedly answered, Yo, Big Bro, what brings you Ziyang is at your hospital now. Go down and get security to detain them. What the hell! Whats happening? Is someone trying to kidnap my nephew? Nangong Ci stood up immediately. When Huo Jingshen arrived at the hospital, Nangong Ci hurriedly greeted him, Big Bro, dont worry. Those two people are held in my office. Should we call the police? Or call a reporter? Or should we hold a press conference Where is Ziyang? Huo Jingshen interrupted. Oh, our nephew is fine, dont worry. Not a hair on his head was hurt. Hes eating a lollipop now. Huo Jingshen gave him a cold nce. It wasnt me who gave it to him. It was the nurse. Nangong Ci insisted. Those young nurses were so infatuated with the adorable Fu Ziyang that even a five-year-old couldnt escape their attention. Absolutely outrageous! Huo Jingshen first went to the Deputy Directors office. Pushing the door open, he indeed saw Fu Ziyang sitting on the sofa with a bunch of young nurses surrounding him, each holding candies and toys to amuse him. Seeing Huo Jingshen, he immediately jumped off the sofa, holding his lollipop and walked over, Uncle Huo. Chapter 392: 392, Burning Bridges Chapter 392: Burning Bridges Upon seeing Huo Jingshen, he immediately jumped off the sofa, holding his lollipop and walked over, Uncle Huo. Huo Jingshen frowned, Ziyang, didnt I tell you yesterday not to linger at the school gate. Though, Fu Ziyang asked, Uncle Huo, is she really my mother? No. Fu Ziyang was taken aback, he dropped his lollipop on the ground out of disappointment. Your mother is not in the country, so stop tantly searching and guessing. Huo Jingshen said. Then where is my mom? Fu Ziyang asked. She wille to find you after a while. Uncle Huo, youre not lying to me, are you? Why do you always say that? Why cant shee and find me earlier? Listening to this soft little voice, Nangong Cis heart almost broke. Yet, Huo Jingshen remained unmoved, When did I ever lie to you? But you havent told me the truth. Fu Ziyang confidently replied. Huo Jingshen then looked straight at Nangong Ci, Lead the way. Nangong Ci picked himself up, Okay. Fu Ziyang: ** As they walked down the corridor, Nangong Ci started talking, This Lu Zixi seems pretty popr right now, my dad was even watching her TV show a few days ago,plimented her as youthful and adorable She kept telling me she was innocent, and if it werent for her being my dads favourite, I would have taken her to the police station on ounts of kidnapping. How dare she deceive my nephew! Its outrageous! But, boss, is she really my nephews biological mother? They do seem to have some resemnce Dont ask questions you shouldnt. Huo Jingshen irked, he knocked on his head with a folder. Nangong Ci grinned, Brother, Im the vice dean. Can you give me some respect? He cant believe Huo knocked his head! Luckily, there are no subordinates around to see it Huo Jingshen didnt reply and just walked ahead. When they reached the door, his long fingers rested on the door handle, and he looked back at Nangong Ci. Nangong Ci had a puzzled look on his face. Whats with him now? Arrange someone to take Ziyang to school. Huo Jingshen ordered. Alright. You can leave. Oh. As soon as Huo Jingshen opened and closed the door, Nangong Ci punched the air out of frustration. Such audacity! Burning the bridge after crossing it, tossing him aside once done with him! ** Huo Jingshen stepped into the office suite. Zan Song was tied to a chair, his limbs bound but not too tight. He had taken a punch to the face from a security guard during his earlier struggle, which resulted in a scrape on his mouth. Although Lu Zixi was uninjured and not bound, her condition wasnt great, her clothes were dishevelled, her face haggard, and her hair messy,pletely devoid of her usual mour and beauty. Upon seeing Huo Jingshen, Zan Song immediately shouted angrily, Who are you? Who gives you the right to lock us in here? Do you know this is illegal? Do you know who I am? Let us go immediately! Compared with Zan Songs agitation, Huo Jingshen was calm, Continue screaming, I dont mind inviting the reporters downstairs toe up. Lu Zixi hastily went over to the window. As she looked at the mass of reporters thronging the square below, all equipped with microphones and cameras Frightened, she quickly turned around, fearing that someone would capture her face. Just who are you? Zan Song couldnt help but ask. How had he never seen this man with such a powerful aura and outstanding looks in public before? Otherwise, he would have surely recognized him! Dont you recognize me? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. Zan Song: He then began examining the man in front of him. He seemed to be around thirty years old. He was dressed in a ck coat which was casually opened to reveal a dark woolen sweater with a snippet of a crisp white shirt peeking out from the cor. It was very neat,pletely spotless. He was tall, with sculptured handsome features and a pair of deep ck eyes. His long, beautiful fingers held a folder. With his every gesture, he exuded an elegant and unassumingly dazzling aura. Considering his age and his aura, within the major families of Nancheng m Huo Jingshen. At his words, Zan Song immediately froze. His spection was confirmed instantly. Lu Zixi also remembered by then. He was the man who picked up Fu Ziyang and left the cinema that day. However, since he arrivedte, only Su Wanwan and Fu Ziyang were in the photo taken that day. Unexpectedly She immediately asked, Whats your rtionship with Miss Su? And whats your rtionship with Ziyang? You dont need to know my rtionship with Ziyang but what can be confirmed is that you have no rtionship with Ziyang. Huo Jingshens tone was t but carried an undeniable meaning. He then ced the folder he was holding on the table. As for this file, its closely rted to Miss Lu. Miss Lu, care to take a look? Lu Zixi looked at the file, her eyes fixed on it, her body slightly trembling. Somehow, she didnt dare to reach out and pick it up. Zan Song quickly said, Zixi, dont be afraid. I believe President Huo isnt that unreasonable. Huo Jingshens eyebrow slightly twitched. As for Lu Zixi, she clenched her fingers and finally picked up the file on the table. However, just after seeing the first page With a nging sound, the file fell back onto the table. She stood there, her body trembled with incredulous frequency. The expression on her face was as if she had seen something terrifying, appearing both frightened and afraid. Miss Lu, not going to read the rest? Huo Jingshens eyes nced at the file on the table. Seeing that Lu Zixi seemed truly too afraid to continue reading, he started to speak, The fact that you had a surrogate child for a rich businessman at the age of sixteen was only coincidentally found out by a private investigator. He wanted to earn some credit, so he sent me all this information. However, Im not interested in these things. Lu Zixi bit her lip, filled with shame and panic, she didnt dare to speak. She never expected that this file would so thoroughly dig up her past! These old events had always been well hidden by her, even yesterday, she only shared some of it with Su Wenwen. Because she knew, after navigating the entertainment circle for eleven years, she had already seen the cold-heartedness of people. She finally had her current career which everyone else was eyeing, she couldnt afford a single mistake! She also knew, the moment these things would be exposed, she would be subjected to a destructive blow instantly, not only on her career, but even her future real life might be affected Huo Jingshens thin lips lightly parted, and his voice sounded again, However, these documents can definitely prove that your child died indeed in that fire that year, this is also the main reason why I came to see you. Miss Lu, you just need to remember this point, and never look for Ziyang again, or else these documents may end up in the hands of the reporters downstairs. After saying that, he turned and left. ** On the other hand, Nangong Ci ordered someone to take Fu Ziyang back to school and sat in his office waiting for somebody to return. Tap tap tap. Finally, the door was knocked. Nangong Ci hurriedly got up from his seat, Big brother,e in, why are you knocking The door opened and it was a nurse. Wearing an extremely short pink nurse uniform, carrying a cup of coffee in her hand, she had a shy smile and a melodic voice, Deputy Dean, your coffee. Her voice was sweet and she looked beautiful, which indeed cheered people up on this drizzle morning. When she put down the coffee, she intentionally bent over. Nangong Ci coughed twice. Since there was no one else in the office, he joked, Qi Qi, you didnt put any medicine in my coffee, did you? Deputy Dean, what are you talking about? Qi Qi puckered her mouth, her face immediately flushed. Imean, Nangong Cis smile became even deeper, you didntput any medicine in my coffee that would make me ufortable unless I was with a woman? Deputy Dean! Qi Qi stomped her foot, her face reddening, Youre so annoying! Did she look like the type of woman who would do anything to get what she wanted? Seeing Nangong Cis smile getting even worse, she clenched her fist, and was about to punch him, but then Xiaosan. Cough cough! All the coffee Nangong Ci had just taken a sip of was scared out of his mouth. Shortly after, they heard Qi Qi shrieking, Aaaaah Because his coffee was all over Qi Qis body. Nangong Ci hurriedly put down the coffee, pulling out a tissue to wipe her, but then immediately retracted as if he had been burned. He rambled to exin, Big brother, you must not misunderstand, we havent done anything. Huo Jingshen stood at the door, his ck coat emitting a cold glow. His handsome face was full of aloofness and disgust, Im leaving. Big brother, let me apany you. Nangong Ci quickly followed, at the same time ring at Qi Qi, Dont wear such a short nurse uniform again, change it! Qi Qi just looked confused. Wasnt this super short nurse uniform designed by you, Deputy Dean? ** Huo Jingshen nced at the time, left the hospital, and drove directly to Nancheng University. After parking, he sent a WeChat message to his little girl. [Baby,e out, have lunch with your husband.] He thought his girl would push him away and give all kinds of excuses, dragging it out for half a day. But unexpectedly [Okay.] Sending a lively dancing emoticon along with the message. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. That seemed somewhat unexpected. But he still opened the storagepartment and pulled out a red jewelry box. When the lid was opened, a diamonddys ring sparkled under the sun, looking extremely beautiful. Huo Jingshen just looked at the ring until he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He put the jewelry box in his pocket and unlocked the car door. However, when Su Wanwan came to the car door, he found it wasnt just her. Mo Weiyi, carrying a fluffy pink bunny school bag, wearing a ck fur coat, a dark floral skirt, and long boots, her honey blonde curls draped over her shoulders, her outfit just like a Christmas tree. Huo Jingshens face darkened, he was absolutely disgusted at heart. Realizing that after getting in the car, Su Wanwan was actually sitting in the back seat with Mo Weiyi Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened even more, looking like a storm brewing. His mood was almost as gloomy as the weather outside. Mo Weiyi closed her little pink umbre and greeted sweetly, Mr. Huo, where are we going for lunch? Huo Jingshen didnt answer. Mr. Huo? Mo Weiyi tilted her head in confusion, then looked at Su Wanwan with questioning eyes. So Su Wanwan had to speak up, Husband, where are we going? This calling of husband finally eased Huo Jingshens expression a bit. He drove the car out, then casually stated, Xiaoye Garden. Su Wanwan realized that her husband really yed hardball with his friends! Normally when he took her out for a meal, they basically went to that ce, evenst time when they invited ssmates to dinner. Although the taste was good and the environment wasfy, but it was free every time! It was as if they were eating without paying! Soon after they reached Xiaoye Garden, a manager greeted them. Since they had apanied Su Wanwan several times, he was quite familiar with her, directly addressing her as Mrs. Huo. When he saw Mo Weiyi, his eyes lit up even more, It turns out to be Miss Mo, sorry to have kept you waiting, right this way please. Mo Weiyi gave a slight smile. Without a doubt, Nancheng was her territory! She was so famous, everyone recognized her no matter where she went! After they entered the private room, a server came in to take their order. Under Huo Jingshens hint, she put the menu in front of Mo Weiyi. Mo Weiyi picked up the menu, casually flipping through it, her eyebrows shot up in surprise, Isnt it a bit expensive? An ordinary stir-fried vegetable dish was actually 388 yuan? This! Although she didnt understand much about the price of household items, but this price was unreasonable, right? The server smiled, Miss Mo, todays meal is on the house. Then Mo Weiyi gave out a graceful sigh, Although this is indeed the first time I have visited your restaurant, you dont have to be so polite. After all, Mr. Huo is treating us today, youre making me kind of embarrassed. Chapter 393: 393, cliched encounter, catching a cheat! Chapter 393: cliched encounter, catching a cheat! Mo Weiyi let out a graceful sigh. Well, although this is indeed my first time at your familys restaurant, theres no need to be so formal. After all, its Mr. Huo picking up the tab today, so youre making me feel a bit awkward. Huo Jingshen lightly smiled, raising his hand to pat Su Wenwens head. Since were all benefitting from Miss Mo today, baby, make sure you eat a bit more. Su Wenwen: Motherfucker. One is narcissistic to the extreme. The other is a tsundere with a dark side. These two are beyond the pale! The waiter was also a little bbergasted. After all, because Mr. Huo is the elder brother of their boss, the boss had specifically instructed that whenever Mr. Huoes to dine, it would be free of charge. But The more one talks, the more likely one is to make a mistake. With that, heughed and continued to provide attentive service. May I ask, does anyone have any food allergies or dislikes? * * Finally, after ordering food, Mo Weiyi spoke up again, Baby Wanwan, apany me to the restrooms. Okay. Huo Jingshen: Has this Mo Weiyi not been weaned yet? Always clinging to his wife, even needing to go to the restroom together? His fingers traced the small red jewelry box in his pocket, and Huo Jingshen smirked secretly. * * In the womens restroom. No sooner had Mo Weiyi gone in than Su Wanwans phone rang. Hello? It was a call from Ye Qitian. Junior sister, Im back in Nancheng. Ille to see you tomorrow! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, No! Why not? Didnt you sayst time that I could visit you after your exams? Because Im preparing for my final exams now. What the hell! Thats not fair! Youre being heartless and unreasonable! I dont care, I dont care, I dont care! Just as Su Wanwan was about tough, two women walked towards her in the corridor. One of them was older, about fifty years old, dressed simply and unassumingly, as for the younger one When she saw her face, Su Wanwan was quite taken aback. She quickly said to her phone, Wait until after the exams, Ill treat you to a meal, gotta hang up now No way, no way, meals should always be paid for by men, how can a woman pay for the meal? Doesnt that make me a gigolo? I really have something to do Su Wanwan was speaking while watching Tian Ye help the woman over. This must be her mother. There were some simrities between the two womens eyebrows and eyes, but her mother seemed to have trouble walking, she had a limp. When they entered the restroom, Su Wanwan hurriedly followed them in. Tian Ye helped her mother into one of the stalls, then went to wash her hands at the sink. Mo Weiyi came out just as Su Wenwen was hanging up her phone. Wanwan, I think my period is about to start, my stomach hurts a bit. Su Wanwan nced at Tian Ye, Then after dinner, do you want to go home and rest? No, I can just buy some sanitary pads. I have two English sses this afternoon, and I need to ask the professor some questions. Su Wanwan: Is this girl going crazy recently? Shes even more studious than her. Soon, the woman opened the bathroom stall door, and Tian Ye hurried over to help her. With only the four of them in the restroom, Mo Weiyi inevitably had to look over. Su Wanwan thought that Mo Weiyi would recognize her, but there was not much reaction on her face. After Tian Ye helped her mother to leave, Mo Weiyi nudged her arm, Did you see that woman just now? Huh? Mo Weiyi clucked. The bag she was carrying, didnt you notice? Err Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. She didnt expect that Mo Weiyi would notice this! Its thetest design from Yallol. I have one too, but mine is pink. The ck one she carried looked pretty good, I think Ill buy one when I get back. How much is it? When I checkedst time, it was around 580,000. The price varies with the color. Su Wanwan: Oh. Okay. Forget I asked. But why does this Tian Ye have so much money? Looking at Mo Weiyis innocent and beautiful face again, Su Wenwen couldnt help but ask, Weiyi, are you sure you dont know who she is? Who? The two women walked out of the restroom. Just as Su Wenwen was about to speak, the voice of the woman from before drifted over from the front. When will Yebai arrive? It seems to be raining heavily outside again. Su Wanwan froze. Mo Weiyi also froze. Yebai? Tian Ye gently exined, Mom, he is busy with work. He just finished a meeting and is driving here. Dont worry, well order all the dishes. I dont know what Yebai likes to eat. The woman started muttering again, Youve been dating him for so long and this is the first time youre eating with him. Make sure to treat him well and dont neglect him, understand? I know, Mom, lets go in. And he bought so many thingsst time, it was such a waste. I really dont need them all. Remember, dont let him buy things again. As long as he genuinely cares about you, this olddy can rest easy. Even if I suddenly pass away, at least theres someone to take care of you For every sentence the woman spoke, Tian Ye would respond with a good, in a gentle and patient tone, without even a hint of annoyance. It was clear that she was very respectful and indulgent towards her mother. The door to the private room closed, and their voices vanished. Afterward, Mo Weiyi slowly turned around and looked at her friend, Wanwan, did you hear them mention Yebai earlier? Su Wanwan nodded. Theres actually a man with the same name as my husband! Mo Weiyi pouted. Su Wanwan looked at her sweet and innocent best friend, speechless, Didnt you ask Xiao about that womanst time? I did, Mo Weiyi responded innocently, He said Tian Ye was his ssmate from the American Institute and that they just happened to meet at the club. Actually Su Wanwan uttered carefully, That woman who just left, thats Tian Ye. Mo Weiyis beautiful cat-like eyes instantly widened. Unbelievable. Su Wanwan quickly grasped her wrist, Dont be hasty, its probably all a misunderstanding. Even though she also felt certain that Xiao Yebai was having an affair, Mo Weiyi could be quite impulsive, so it would be best to calm her down first But Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, Right, it must be a misunderstanding. Xiaobai wouldnt lie to me. Su Wanwan: She was that confident? Lets go, lets go back and eat. Mo Weiyi took her arm and started to head back. Su Wanwan again: What was this girls reaction? Shouldnt she rush over there to confront them right away? * * When they returned to the private room, most of the exquisite dishes had already been served. Su Wanwan was ravenous by then. As soon as she sat back down, she started to dig in. With a guest present, Huo Jingshen also seemed somewhat reserved. But who would have expected the normally noisy Mo Weiyi to suddenly be so quiet? He raised an eyebrow. Just as he picked up the teapot. No! There was a bang as Mo Weiyi mmed her hand down on the table. Su Wanwan jumped in surprise. Huo Jingshen also paused for a moment. Im going to catch them in the act! She couldnt stand it, not even for a minute! Dont try to stop me! Xiaobai might already be here, having dinner with that slut and her mother in the next room! Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, We wont stop you, go ahead. She wont know it until she hits the wall. Furthermore Once she left, he could be alone with his love. But Su Wanwan quickly said, Then Ill go with you. Huo Jingshen: Seriously this unromantic girl! Luckily, Mo Weiyi declined, No need, you should stay here and eat with Mr. Huo. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but raise his eyebrows. He suddenly started to view Mo Weiyi in a new light. She didnt seem as naive as he thought, but then Theres no need for that. Hes not a little kid. He doesnt need someone to babysit him, Su Wanwan responded dismissively. After finishing speaking, she stood up, Lets go. Huo Jingshen: He almost crushed the handle of the teapot. * * Upon leaving the private room, Mo Weiyi immediately dialed Xiao Yebais number. Su Wanwan stood next to her, listening. Weiyi. Hearing Xiao Yebais cool and deep voice, Mo Weiyi asked him, Xiaobai, what are you doing? About to eat lunch. Where are you eating? There was a pause on the phone, but eventually, Xiao Yebai replied, At a themed restaurant. Whats it called? Is it good? If its good, we should go together next time. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. This coaxing tone, worthy ofw school training. Xiao Ye Garden, Ill take you next time. Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi immediately smiled, Great! Then you have to take me next time. Lets hang up now. She put away her phone and looked at Su Wanwan, Okay, you can go back and apany Mr. Huo to have dinner now. Huh? Su Wanwan froze. Werent they going to catch someone in the act? What about you? Mo Weiyis bright face lit up with a smile, Of course Im going to find my husband. She had already figured out what was going on. But Su Wanwan still didnt understand, Can you handle it by yourself? In case theres a fight. With Xiaobai there, who would dare to fight me? Mo Weiyi pursed her exquisite red lips, raised her proud little chin, and replied with a naturally superior tone. Chapter 394: 394, who dares to hit me? Chapter 394: who dares to hit me? With Xiaobai around, who would dare to hit me? Mo Weiyi curved her refined red lips, lifted her proud little chin, speaking in a tone that sounded both matter-of-fact and superior. Su Wenwen was still uneasy. If Xiao Yebai were really that dependable, would he have cheated? Alright, you go back now. If theres any trouble, Ill call you. Go eat. With that, Mo Weiyi began to push Su Wenwen back. Okay then. Tian Yes mother was also there, even if they were to have a confrontation, they wouldnt need to resort to physical violence in front of the elder, would they? So, after Su Wenwen left, Mo Weiyi moved forward and arrived at the private room from earlier. She knocked twice on the door and, without waiting for a response, pushed the door open and entered. The three people in the room immediately turned to look at her. The woman was the first to speak, Who are you looking for? Mo Weiyi didnt say anything, she just looked at Xiao Yebai. The mother and daughter were sitting in chairs, and only he was standing as if he had just arrived because he hadnt taken off his coat. When he saw her, he was handsomely serene, and his face carried his usual cold indifference. Even with her sudden appearance, there was no panic or guilt on his face, as if her arrival was not unexpected? Mo Weiyi felt more assured in her heart. She closed the door behind her, stepped into the room wearing her thigh-high boots. Getting close, she reached out to take his arm, leaned in closer, her red lips smiled charmingly, So, youre having dinner here. What a coincidence, did you just arrive? After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at the mother-daughter duo, her delicate face breaking into a bright smile, Are these two your friends? Wont you introduce me? Darling. Upon hearing the word darling, Tian Yes face immediately turned deathly pale. The woman was astonished, Darling? Why would you call Yebai darling? Because he is my husband. Weve been married for over two years. If I dont call him darling, should I call him brother? Mo Weiyi tilted her face,ughing innocently and purely. The woman quickly turned to her daughter, Xiaoye, whats going on? Isnt Yebai your boyfriend? How did he be someone elses husband? Huh? Tian Yes gentle face had turned from white to red, her eyshes trembling slightly. She finally mustered the courage to look at Xiao Yebai, only to meet his deep yet icy cold gaze Her heart suddenly fluttered, she wanted to exin, opened her mouth, but didntknow where to start. Boyfriend? Mo Weiyi looked at Tian Ye with her clear cat eyes,ughing, Heh, Miss Tian, when did my husband be your boyfriend? Can you exin that to me? Since they were indoors, she was not wearing a coat. Her pink sweater and floral-patterned mini skirt highlighted her slender figure, making her look graceful and charming. Her soft, curly hair was just fluffy enough to set off her small face, making it even more beautiful and pleasing. At this moment, her smile was sweet, but because of her provocative and questioning tone, her standing posture was haughty and bearing down, exuding a kind of aggressive strength. Tian Ye bit her lip, knowing she was at fault and couldnt say a word. However, the woman seemed to have suffered a huge blow and abruptly stood up. The chair scraping across the floor made a long, piercing sound. Xiaoye, didnt you say that you and Yebai have been dating for exactly five years, and youre nning to get married next year? How did he be someone elses husband? Whats going on? Exin it to me now! Tian Ye bowed her head, unable to respond to her mothers questioning. When they met in the bathroom just now, she hardly gave the other woman a second nce. And in the photos she tracked down before, Mo Weiyi was always in fancy dresses or wedding gowns. She never expected that this girl was actually Xiao Yebaiswful wife! Hiding Xiao Yebais presence beforehand, asking him toe out for dinner with her and her mother, was already nerve-wracking enough. Having everythingid bare like this made her feel utterly embarrassed. It made her look as if she was the mistress who stole someone elses man! Iget it now! The woman suddenly pointed a finger at Mo Weiyi, her eyes filled with bitter hatred, Youre the homewrecker! It must have been you! You employed foul means! You stole my daughters boyfriend, didnt you? How could you, breaking up a couples rtionship will revile you! Youre a mistress, have you no shame?! Mo Weiyis face hardened, Maam, I respect you out of age, so I can forgive your ignorance. But if you want the real story, you ought to ask your good daughter. Nonsense! The womans hand was still firmly pointed at Mo Weiyi, My daughter was in America for seven whole years five years studying, two years working. She met Yebai seven years ago! They were in a rtionship for years. They had ns on building a future in America, but now shese back for me and decided to stay. Today is my birthday, they came together to celebrate it with me! Yebai treats my daughter so well, he previously gifted us with many things, bought so many gifts for Xiaoye, and was even nning to buy us a house! Mo Weiyisugh was full of mockery, Miss Tian, fooling your mother to satisfy your pathetic vanity, is it fun? She spied the woman from top to bottom, her tone belittling, Just a moment ago, I believed that those brand-name goods, and your designer bag, were bought with your earnings. But seeing as you can even lie to your own mother, what couldnt you possibly do? I bet those goods were bought by selling yourself? Tian Ye looked at her, her lips bitten, tears welled up in her eyes. Pitiful. But she didnt deny it. So, Mo Weiyi chuckled coldly again, And you said it was my husband who gave you all this? Have you no shame? My husband has told me everything. You were just a ssmate in America and you happened to run into him. He helped you out of courtesy! What else do you want, to cling to him, to impose on him? Enough. A chilly voice from a man finally spoke. The scene fell silent. Mo Weiyi closed her mouth, obediently keeping quiet. Xiao Yebai turned to the woman, I wasnt aware that today is your birthday, I apologize for not preparing anything in advance. With that said, the previous misunderstandings naturally cleared up. Tian Ye bit her lip and finally started to talk, Yebai, Im sorry, I I just Xiao Yebais voice rang out again, As far as Tian Ye and I are concerned, we are not in the kind of rtionship you are thinking about. There may have been some misunderstandings. Impossible! The woman suddenly, as if going mad, started cursing at Mo Weiyi, Its you, you hussy! Its you! You seduced Yebai! You will get youreuppance! I will kill you! I most definitely will kill you today! With that, she lunged at Mo Weiyi with ws bared. Mo Weiyi screamed and quickly hide behind Xiao Yebai. Tian Ye also rapidly held back her furious mother, Mom, Mom, calm down! I will kill you, I will kill you! Let go ofme! twill kill you! Im going to kill you, I will kill you Mo Weiyi, clutching onto Xiao Yebais arm, looked at the crazed woman, What the hell is wrong with you? Its your daughter whos trying to steal my husband! I havent even held you ountable yet, why are you losingyour temper at me? Shes the one that lied and cheated, doing shameless things behind your back! Try yelling at me again and Im going to have the cops lock you up in a mental institution Ah! Somewhere in her rant touched a chord in the woman, she twisted her face in fury and lunged at Mo Weiyi, wing at her face. Just in the nick of time, a mans hand grabbed her and shoved her away. The woman fell back onto the chair. Whether it was the brute strength or it was idental, she even knocked over the chair while falling, causing a loud ng. Mom! Tian Yes face went white and she rushed over to her mother. Xiaobai, lets go, this woman is crazy! Mo Weiyi shouted, tugging at Xiao Yebais arm. Shes practically a lunatic! She even wanted to hit someone? Lucky for her, Xiaobai protected her. Sorry, Xiao Yebai briefly apologized, and guided Mo Weiyi away. Behind them, they could faintly hear the womans cursing. Mo Weiyi led Xiao Yebai. Just around the corner, she caught her breath, fearfully clutching her chest, That scared me to death! She almost ruined my face just now! Xiao Yebai looked down at her, his tone t, How did youe to be here? I was having dinner with Wanwan and bumped into you guys in the bathroom, so I called you. Mo Weiyi was still angered, Your ssmate from America is seriously vain, isnt she? Did she deliberately trick you intoing for dinner? Fortunately, I arrived just in time, otherwise, you wouldve be someone elses boyfriend! Even nning to get married, what a joke! Shes fit for that? Chapter 395 - 395= 395, Wedding Ring Chapter 395= 395, Wedding Ring Mo Weiyi is truly angry just thinking about it, Isnt your American ssmate just too vain? Did she deliberately trickyou into having dinner. Fortunately, arrived in time, otherwise you would have already be someone elses boyfriend! And shes even making ns for marriage, bleh! Is she even worthy? Xiao Yebais tone remains indifferent, as if devoid of emotion, Ill take you home. Home? But Im still hungry. Yebai, apany me to eat. Mo Weiyi wrinkles her nose, But I dont want to eat here, lets find another ce. The thought of that mother and daughter still in the private dining roompletely robbed her of her appetite. Mo Weiyi quickly returned to the dining room to retrieve her belongings, smiled and bid her farewell, Im going to have dinner with Yebai now, Wanwan, Ille to find you in school in the afternoon. Mr. Huo, thankyou for your hospitality, goodbye! Having said that, she left swiftly. Su Wanwan was somewhat perplexed, while Huo Jingshen seemed pleased. The idle crowd finally left. After finishing almost all of her food, Su Wanwan drank thest spoonful of soup, Im full. She wiped her mouth, stood up, ready to leave, Lets go, I have ss this afternoon. Wait a minute. Huo Jingshen held her wrist. What is it? Huo Jingshen stood up, then slowly raised the hand that was tucked in his suit pocket. The moment she saw a red velvet box in his sturdy, distinct hands Su Wanwan was stunned. Is this? Slender fingers opened the box to reveal a delicate diamond ring. With a heart-shaped diamond set on the ring, it was smooth and elegant, shining brilliantly. Although it was raining outside, the light was on in the room. Under the refracted light, the diamond emitted rays of light, glowing brilliantly with a slight movement. It was enough to blind someone. indeed, Su Wanwan was momentarily blinded and before she could react, her lefthand was held. Then, she felt a chill on her ring finger, and the diamond ring was already on her hand. Do you like it? Huo Jingshens deep voice gently echoed. Su Wanwan was still a bit dazed. Is this a wedding ring? Seeing the girls moved expression, Huo Jingshen lifted the corner of his lips and asked again, Baby, do you like this wedding ring? Su Wanwan finally came back to her senses. She nodded, somewhat embarrassed, she asked, When did you buy it? They got their marriage certificate almost half a year ago, she didnt expect him to suddenly give her a ring. Last night. Huo Jingshen slightly smiled, Forgot so soon? Oh. Su Wanwan remembered now. But she thought he just bought it on a whimst night and since he didnt mention anything afterwards, she didnt expect She looked at the diamond ring. It looked like it was custom-made, delicate, bright, and beautiful on her slender fair fingers. No wonder they say women love diamonds. It was indeed beautiful. From now on, you must wear it every day and are not allowed to take it off. Huo Jingshen suddenly issued amand. Ah? Su Wanwan instantly lifted her head, her little face rmed, What if I lose it? If you lose it. Huo Jingshen smiled again, My dear, youll have to pay with your own flesh. Su Wanwan: Dammit! The touching atmosphere instantly dissipated. She pouted her mouth, Nevermind then, I wont wear it. She remembered the price tag fromst night seemed pretty steep, how many times would she have to pay? just as she extended her hand to take it off, Huo Jingshen caught her hand, Try taking it off. Im afraid Ill lose it. Su Wanwan was really afraid of losing it, she hadnt dared to wear the jade bracelet that Mrs. Huo gave her. Arent you afraid of paying with your flesh? SuWenwen: Finally, Huo Jingshen grumpily said, If you lose it, Ill buy you a new one. Alright then. She finally felt relieved, hihi. Having said that, Su Wenwen looked at him with her little nose and small eyes, Then you must wear it too, every day! Huo Jingshen chuckled, extended his right hand, I put it onst night, I didnt even take it off when I showered, my dears attention towards her husband is not enough. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. Alright. She had been too focused on Mo Weiyis affair earlier, she really hadnt noticed. Then, Huo Jingshen suddenly picked up his phone from the table, Do you want to take a picture and show off? Su Wanwan: Not long after, in the WJY WeChat group, a man who usually lurks posted a picture. In the picture, the mans hand was long and powerful, each finger distinctly outlined with a simple, low-key mens ring on his right ring finger. Next to it was a womans small hand, as smooth and slender as green onions, with a heart-shaped diamonddies ring on her left ring finger. Nangong Ci:[Damn! Ah! My eyes! My eyes are blinded! Blinded by this shy diamond!] Ming Jing:[For this wave of dog food, I give big brother a hundred points! Not a point more, Im afraid big brother will get proud!] LuChenyu:[Hehe.] Chu Xiuhuang:[Hehe.] Nangong Ci:[Second brother, whats upsetting you? Why are you heheing with fourth brother?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Hehe.] Nangong Ci:[Seems like hes really upset] Chu Xiuhuang was furious. Dammit! This was evidently the ring he had set his heart on first, but it was snatched away by that shameless old man, who then took pictures to show it off on WeChat? Although he had dared to monopolize all the jewelry sections and upied all the entertainment gossip headlines, there was only one pair of those rings. In his office, Chu Xiuhuang put down his phone, his slender finger tapping on the ck office desk, his phoenix eyes full of dissatisfaction. Until his phone rang again. Seeing the iing call disy, Chu Xiuhuang almost rolled his eyes. Seems like this old man was quite upset by the news. Since the news broke this morning he mustve made a dozen calls by now. And he cant not answer. Hello. Ahuang, I saw on Weibo that its a buzz, tell me the truth, are you really interested in the girl from the Lu family? Chu Xiuhuangs brows furrowed. Which one from the Lu family? It seems like he had been introduced to two socialites from the Lu family a while back, but he had long ago forgotten what they looked like. Old Master Chu sighed over the phone. Im not such an old-fashioned man. Your father passed away early, your mother is in poor health, and after Im gone, all I want is someone loving to take care of you. Butabout that Lu family boy if he really bes part of our family, should I call him my granddaughter-inw or grandson? And I worry, you two are both men, how will you guys have children in the future? Are you destined to have no offspring in this life? Your mother might not agree Fuck'' Chu Xiuhuang couldnt hold back anymore, Grandpa, can you stop paying attention to the terrible gossip news online? Havent you had enough after a whole day? All damn day he had been on phone calls, and it was one thing when he was being asked about women, but now came the questions about men! He vehemently dered, Im purely straight, and Im just brothers with Lu! Really? Old Master Chu still didnt believe it. After all this time, the only ones who could stay close friends with Chu Xiuhuang would be Lu Chenyu. The Chu family and the Lu family were on good terms, so if the two of them could be together, he wouldnt rule that out. It took Old Master Chu a long time to ept this unconventional love. If I lie, may I be struck down by five thunderbolts! Chu Xiuhuang angrily mmed the table. Damn, he was really angry! He thought only those stupid fangirls on Weibo would imagine things. He never thought that his grandfather would suspect something was off about his sexua orientation. He felt like pointing at the sky and swearing. Alright, alright, since youre just brothers, I can be at ease. Why are you swearing such a deadly oath? Old Master Chu was quite happy. You go hackwork. Remember to take care of your things. Ill give Secretary Shi a callter. Your marriage matters need to be prioritized. If you didnt like the ones from before, Ill introduce some better ones for you. You should tell Secretary Shi about any requirements you have. Chu Xiuhuang: When will it all end? Having finally gotten rid of the old man, he copsed into his chair, tilting his head and smacking his lips, seemingly lost in thought. Minutes and seconds ticked by. About half an hourter, he suddenly stood up. He opened the office door, the hallway outside was silent. It was just after twelve in the afternoon, thepanys lunch break. Chu Xiuhuang slowly strolled to the secretarial office, indeed hearing the sound of Shi Huans voice on a phone call. Alright, old master, please rest assured. Yes, once youve arranged it, please leave it to me. Its no trouble at all, old master. This is my duty. Chu Xiuhuang really wanted to roll his eyes. Fucking hell! She was so obedient and considerate in front of his grandfather, always saying yes to anything, but in front of him, she only contradicted him, making him mad! Just as he was about to go in, someone else spoke. Sister Shi, did Old Master Chu call you again? Is he arranging another blind date for Chu? But Chu just gave Sister Shi a piece of jewelry from an exhibition centerst night! Yeah, how much did that jewelry cost? ording to the newspaper, the media has calcted it. It s about 85 million in total. Oh my god, thats so much money, Sister Shi, why did Chu give you so much jewelry? I saw on the news that it said Chu and Sister Shi office romance. Is it for real? Chu Xiuhuang pricked his ears. Then Shi Huans soothing but cold voice calmly responded, How many times have i already told you guys, Chu simply wanted to buy some jewelryst night and I happened to be apanying him. So he pulled me along to create this publicity stunt. I guess you could call it a form of thepanys promotional strategy. As for all these things, theyre probably going to be gifted to his girlfriends in the future. Do you understand now? ChuXiuhuang: Inside the secretarial office, the assistant Xiaoliu was filled with admiration. Wow, Chu is really rich and willful, huh? Exactly! He actually spent so much money just for publicity! Doesnt a few tens of millions mean nothing to our Chu? Yeah, anyway Chu changes his girlfriend every month. Im so jealous of Chus girlfriends, they get such expensive gifts just by apanying him for a month. Exactly Secretary Shi! The sudden cold voice startled the secretarial department into silence. Damn it. Lately, Chu always appeared out of nowhere, scaring the hell out of people. Thank god they didnt speak ill of Chu just now, who knows how much he had heard Everyone kept their heads down, quietly whispering in their hearts. Shi Huan stood up. Chu, did you need something? Come to my office. Having said this, Chu Xiuhuang left with a grave expression. When Shi Huan left with her notebook, the secretarial department once again erupted in noise. Oh no, it seems like Chu isnt in a good mood. Did he hear us discussing yesterdays matter? But we didnt say anything much! Besides, its rxation time now. Chu must think we gossip too much! So he asked Secretary Shi to lecture us? We feel bad for Secretary Shi. ** Sitting in his office chair behind the desk, Chu Xiuhuang squinted at Shi Huan, his face stern. Shi Huan, however, seemed unbothered. She opened her notebook, pressed her pen, and began speaking formally, Sir Chu, what can I do for you? Chu Xiuhuang observed her, remaining silent. Sir Chu? Shi Huan slightly frowned. Chu Xiuhuang stayed silent. Just when Shi Huan was considering waving her hand in front of his eyes, Chu Xiuhuangs voice finally resonated, Did grandfather call you? Yes. What did he say? Shi Huan reported in detail, The old master asked me not to arrange any more femalepanions for you, but rather to get to know your preferences as soon as possible, and help you settle your major life event. My preferences. Secretary Shi, you dont know them? Chu Xiuhuang sneered. What kind of coffee I like to drink, how cooked I like my steak, which designer I wearwerent these all arranged by you? Shi Huan replied, What the old master meant was, he wanted me to understand Sir Chus preference for women, that is, for your future marriage partner. Oh. Chu Xiuhuang nodded. Understood. Chapter 396: 396, you want to get rid of him? Chapter 396: you want to get rid of him? Shi Huan then asked him, May I ask, CEO Chu, do you have any specific preferences or requirements for your other half in marriage? Upon further thought, she has indeed been organizing Chu Xiuhuangs affairs all these years. As for women, he didnt have any specific requirements either. Each time it was her who arranged, and then he would say he was satisfied, not satisfied, or very satisfied. She had been studying, trying to find a pattern, yet while traces could be found in everything else, Chu Xiuhuang seemed indifferent, yet also not so indifferent when it came to women. What kind of woman he really liked didnt seem to have a specific image. Because every woman was dumped in less than a month Therefore, Shi Huan thought it was indeed necessary to understand him better. Chu Xiuhuang gave augh, his attractive fingers picked up a lighter, and lit up a cigarette. Whisps of smoke rose in the office. Soon, a scent of tobo came wafting over. After a bout of clouding smoke, Chu Xiuhuang began speaking slowly, First, she must be a woman. The pen in Shi Huans hand paused. What kind of requirement was this? Cannot be a gay man, nor a crossdresser, I dont like. Shi Huan: Alright then. Second, Chu Xiuhuang blew a smoke ring, tilted his head back, and looked at Shi Huan from below, She must be smarter and more capable than you. Again Shi Huan: Why arent you writing? Chu Xiuhuangughed, Do you think, youre so smart and capable, no other woman canpare to you? Shi Huan picked up her pen and while writing she said, CEO Chu is overthinking. Overthinkings Chu Xiuhuang continued tough, Third, she must be like you, Secretary Shi, ready to be called upon whenever needed, even if its two oclock in the morning and Im drunk, if I call you, you muste within half an hour. All Shi Huan could do was continue writing. Fourth. Chu Xiuhuang watched her as she took notes, squinting. One hand held the hardcover notebooks back, while the other held a fountain pen. Her head was slightly lowered, allowing only a view of her cute, upturned little nose and the faint glimpse of her pink lips. With a quick gulp, Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly became somewhat husky, She shouldnt be too tall, best if she reaches up to my chest, easier to hug that way. She should have straight legs, they look good in skirts. Her skin should be light, the lighter the better. Her hair should smell good, she should not wear heavy makeup, no lipstick The more Shi Huan listened, the more she felt something was off. Unavoidably, she thought about that day at the club. In the dark and luxurious private room, she fell onto the sofa, and he fell down as well. Secretary Shi, why is your face red? The sudden approach of his deep voice and the faint smell of tobo from his nose left Shi Huan in a daze. Raising her head, she realized that Chu Xiuhuang had made his way over to her at some point. The intense pressure made her step backward right away, Its a bit warm. Warm? Chu Xiuhuang tilted his head to look out the window, Its raining outside and the windows open. How could it be warm? Its stuffy. ChuXiuhuang: Before he could say anything, Shi Huan immediately asked, CEO Chu, do you have any other requirements? Chu Xiuhuang held a cigarette in one hand, his wickedly handsome eyes mysteriously and deeply gazing at her, and then No more, you can leave now. Okay. Shi Huan quietly heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and had only taken two steps Wait a minute. Shi Huan could not help but roll her eyes. As she turned around, her small face was asposed and indifferent as always, CEO Chu, do you have any other instructions? Chu Xiuhuang put out his cigarette and began walking towards her. One step. Two steps. Three steps He kept on walking. Shi Huan backed away in a hurry, but Chu Xiuhuang kept moving forward until Shi Huans back hit the hard door. CEO Chu, you she started. Chu Xiuhuang stepped forward, raised one arm, and sessfully pinned her against the wall, his action referred to as kabedon. So, is it that you will help resolve any issue I have? Chu Xiuhuangs effective stare made the room electric. For a moment, his electric gaze seemed to redden her pale face even further, slowly seeping through her fairplexion, as though ayer of rouge had been applied to it. It was incredibly appealing. Chu Xiuhuang hadnt forgotten the fleeting glimpse hed had when he removed her sses that day. Unlike her usual traditional, old-fashioned style, Shi Huan without sses was petite, exquisite, and beautiful A little delicate and pitiful. I knew all along, considering that her elder sister was so attractive, the younger one wouldnt have been far behind. However, over these years, Shi Huan had always dressed this way from the day I met her, and so I got used to it, always thinking that she was ordinary-looking. As Chu Xiuhuang pondered Chu, youre standing too close, Shi Huan warned hurriedly. Am I? I dont think so. Seeing her panic-stricken eyes behind her sses, Chu Xiuhuangs thin lips curled into a devilish smile, The other night at the club, we were even closer. Shi Huan: She dared not breathe! She quickly pulled herptop up to shield her face. She finally felt a bit at ease. But Chu Xiuhuang was displeased. He gave a contemptuous nce at that bothersomeptop between them, and squinted his eyes. Chu. Shi Huan had no choice but to push him away. Such behavior was quite inappropriate in their current circumstance. But Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist. Little Huanhuan, you havent answered my question. Will you solve any problem for me? In the past, Shi Huan undoubtedly would have replied, Yes. This was hermitment she made on her first day as a secretary. But considering the current scenario She had an ominous feeling. Shi Huan could only graciously reply, As long as Im able to, Ill certainly do my best to solve it. Good, Chu Xiuhuang smiled faintly, clutching her wrist, Recently, Im always in terrible pain, and strangely, seeing you triggers it. Do you want to help me solve this? Caught off guard, Shi Huan didnt know how to react. Herptop fell to the ground Little Huanhuan. The next moment. damn! Chu Xiuhuang blurted out a curse, sweat already beading on his forehead. Was this secretary Shi trying to disable him? It hurt like hell Without waiting for his response, Shi Huan turned around, opened the door and ran away. Someone wasing towards the corridor. Secretary Shi! Shen Bingbings sharp voice was the first to be heard. Shi Huan had no choice but to pause, pretending to beposed, Director Shen. It was a few representatives of Bingo Creative. She remembered now, there was a work discussion arranged with Bingo at one oclock in the afternoon today. Shen Bingbing looked at her; her cunning eyes filled with curiosity, Secretary Shi, what are you doing with a pen? Shi Huan looked down to realize she was left with just a pen, herptop was left in Chu Xiuhuangs office. She maintained herposure, Just went back to the office to get some stuff. Then she turned to an employee standing by, Xiaoliu, please take the clients to the conference room. But Shen Bingbing asked, Why go to the conference room? Is Mr. Chu not in thepany? She nced at the half-opened door behind them. Secretary Shi just ran out from there, holding a pen. How could Mr. Chu possibly not be there? Even so, she didnt suspect anything, despite the gossip shed read Because she never thought that Chu Xiuhuang would be interested in Shi Huan. After all, they had been working together for so long. If he was interested, he wouldve made a move long ago, right? Not to mention, Shi Huan was in-looking and from an ordinary family. Absolutely impossible, right! Mr. Chu is in the office. Shi Huans lips tightened slightly, but now, he is probably not avable. After all, she just kicked him. He might need some time to cough, recover. Shen Bingbing nodded, assuming he was with other clients. Although she was a bit disappointed not to see Mr. Chu, she could only smile and say, Thats all right, well go to the conference room. As everyone turned to leave, Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly echoed behind them, Im avable now. Shi Huan: Shen Bingbing quickly halted and turned around, her voice much softer and sweeter, Oh, Mr. Chu, youre in the office after all. Thats great. Let s go to the meeting now. Shi Huan lowered her head. Does Mr. Chu recover so quickly? So quickly? She couldnt resist stealing a nce, only to find his gaze, as if looking to kill, met hers. Shi Huan again: Uh. Chapter 397: 397, Baby-faced female doctor Chapter 397: Baby-faced female doctor The meeting is canceled. Chu Xiuhuangs ominous voice echoed. Everyone around him froze, wondering what Xiuhuang was upset about now. Shen Bingbing waspletely at a loss. Hadnt he just said it was super convenient? Why is he canceling the meeting now? Chu Xiuhuang looked at Shi Huan and dered word byword, I need to go to the hospital for treatment. Everyones expressions instantly became even more horrified. As for Shi Huan Itste, Im scared of bing impotent. He strode forward, Shi, drive! As if swept up by a gust of dark wind, he left just like that. Shi Huan felt helpless. She couldnt just not go in front of everyone, as that would be too conspicuous. She could only apologize, Im sorry Director Shen, Xiaoliu, please arrange todays meeting and remember to send me the meeting materials. At her signal, Xiaoliu scurried over to begin hosting, Everyone, lets go to the conference room first. Shi Huan returned to her seat, picked up the car keys, when Shen Bingbing ran back in. Bingbing was all eager for gossip, Secretary Shi, was Xiuhuang joking just now? Something about medical treatment, bing impotent that cant be possible, right? Such a handsome man, if he really couldnt perform, she would have to rethink her ns. After all, how could she marry a husband who couldnt have sex, no matter how rich and powerful he was? Such a loss. Shi Huan gave a small smile, Do you think its possible? After all, she is a woman with limited strength. Moreover, Xiuhuang has practiced kickboxing, and his reaction speed is unmatched. She didnt believe that she could have really injured him. Therefore, Shen Bingbing nodded vigorously, Exactly, how is that even possible? Xiuhuang really knows how to joke huhuhu. Shi Huan responded in kind, huhuhu. * * When Shi Huan arrived at the underground car park, Chu Xiuhuang was already waiting next to the Cayenne, a cigarette hanging from his thin lips, engulfed in a cloud of smoke. His phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, his arms crossed, his long legs crossed at an angle. His posturing could not fail to impress. As she approached, the strong scent of tobo hit her. Xiuhuang, smoking is bad for your health. Shi Huan blurted out her thoughts. Chu Xiuhuang lifted his chin in response: Huh. Shi Huan: Once in the car, Chu Xiuhuangmanded swiftly, Go to Nangong Hospital, the urology department. Shi Huan was shocked, Urology? She thought he was just making it up in front of everyone; was he really going to go to the hospital for a doctors examination? I was injured by you just now, and must get it checked. Chu Xiuhuang said solemnly. Youre not that fragile. Shi Huan blurted out again. What do you think? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with an unreadable smile. But Shi Huan frowned, Is it so serious that you need to see a doctor? She did not believe it. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, If you dont believe me, why dont you check? See if you really injured me? Shi Huan was scared to the point of gripping the steering wheel tightly. I believe, I believe. Xiuhuang, Ill get you to the hospital right away. Chu Xiuhuang slightly smiled and stubbed out his cigarette butt. * * Half an hourter, they arrived at Nangong Hospital, Shi Huan resignedly tagged along and registered him. Then they arrived at the mens urology department on the 11th floor. She had lived for over twenty years, and this was the first time she found herself at such a ce. The patients around her were all men, young and old. Just the thought that each of them was here because of some problem was Awkward. Shi Huan tried her best to hide her difort and dared not look around. Until, over the announcement system, Patient number 11, please get ready. Chu Xiuhuang scoffed to himself. God dammit, the department was on the 11th floor, even the number ticket was 11. How ridiculous! He stood up, his phoenix eyes suggestive, Wait for me here. If you dare run away, Ill beat you! Shi Huan twitched at the corner of her mouth, Understood. * * Inside the department room. A female doctor was filling out the check-up form of the previous patient. Hearing the door open, she spoke, Unbutton your pants, pull them down, and lie down. I wont. The female doctor looked up in surprise, then upon seeing the visitor, even more shock appeared on her face. Brother Chu, what brought you here? Chu Xiuhuang walked to her, pulled out a chair, and sat down nonchntly. Help me get a certificate. What type of certificate? Nangong Chus face turned a little red. Although she had been interning for several months, Nangong Chu felt her skin was still not thick enough. Whenever she thought about the fact she would have to examine a variety of male bodies for decades toe She nearly fell into despair! Chu Xiuhuangughed and said, Just say that Ive suffered severe damage, that Im not normal anymore, that I might even end up childless and grandsonless. However serious you think it is, thats how you should write it. Nangong Chu opened her mouth in confusion. Forget it, Chu Xiuhuang came up with another idea, Just open up a sickroom for me and state that I must stay at the hospital for testing. Lets start off with a three-month luxury package. In this way, I can avoid the blind dates arranged by my grandpa and have the secretary serving me tea and water every day. A two-bird-with-one-stone solution! Chu Xiuhuang made up his mind, pped hisrge hand down, and said, Alright, just write it that way! Start writing. Nangong Chu pulled a reluctant face, But this is not right. The Deputy Dean said that the hospital does not allow any deception. If you do, you will be fired, fined, and can never work in this circle again. Deception? Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, Wasnt the proof of the sterilization operation written by you? Nangong Chu pouted, Brother Chu, please dont push me, Im really scared of being fired. You are his own sister. Would he dare to fire you? Nangong Chu pouted even more, He has too many sisters. Whats my statuspared to them? Chu Xiuhuang: Its true, the Nangong Family had the most women, which was why Nangong Ci, the young master, was so popr. So he said, Wait here. Chu Xiuhuang took out his mobile phone and directly called Nangong Ci, sinctly saying four words, Come to Urology. Nangong Chu: Was he going to pull strings in front of her? * * Shi Huan had been waiting outside for a long time. All the clinics in this building were for male urology, and more than one outpatient clinic. People had beening out from the neighboring specialist clinic, but Chu Xiuhuang had note out yet. It cant be that serious, can it? Just as Shi Huan was worrying Secretary Shi. Shi Huan quickly stood up, Hello. Came to apany Second Brother for a check-up? Nangong Ci said with a smile that he could not suppress. His tone was even more ambiguous. I didnt expect that Secretary Shi, appearances can indeed be deceiving. To have Second Brother injured to the point that he had toe to the hospital for a check-up Wow, my Secretary Shi is incredible! Shi Huan had no idea what was going on in his dirty mind. She assumed he was talking about her kicking Chu Xiuhuang, and her face flushed red from embarrassment. Seeing this, Nangong Ci could not help butugh even more mischievously. Just when he wanted to gossip more, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID and knowing that a certain person was getting impatient, Nangong Ci said, Then, Ill go check on Second Brother. Okay. After sending off Nangong Ci, Shi Huan continued to wait outside. Another half an hour passed and the door to the consulting room finally opened. She quickly got up and walked over, Mr. Chu, are you okay? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her coldly, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile, Do you think Im okay? Shi Huan: Ah Nangong Ci pretended to sigh, Second Brother, please take care. After saying this, he patted Chu Xiuhuang on the shoulder and left. Shi Huans heart tightened. Please take care? At this moment, the female doctors serious voice rang out, What is your rtionship with the patient? Shi Huan quickly replied, Im his secretary. Nangong Chu handed over a diagnosis certificate, The patient has severe rupture and injury to the organs, needs to be hospitalized for a period of time, and undergo further examination and treatment. Hospitalized? Shi Huan was stunned. Yes. Nangong Chu nodded, You can go and handle the hospitalization procedures now. But Shi Huan felt that this female doctor seemed unreliable? She looked only in her early twenties, with a round baby face. Even her features were round, still carrying baby fat. Her expressionless face looked like Little Luoluo when she tried to act like an adult. Doctor, did you get it wrong? Shecouldnt help but speak up. She felt that this female doctor with a baby face looked like she was fooling around and didnt seem credible at all. Nangong Chus small face hardened, Are you doubting my diagnosis? Shi Huan: If it were ordinary circumstances, she would have really wanted tough. Was this doctor sure she wasnt an impersonator? Suddenly, a warm touch on her shoulder startled her, Chu Xiuhuang, with a thin-lipped, suggestive smile said, Im sorry, Doctor. My secretary didnt mean it, its just her concern is mixed with confusion. Shi Huan: Nangong Chu began to instruct them on what to pay attention to, and finally called a nurse, Xiaozhu, you go with them and handle the hospitalization procedures first. Okay, please follow me. Shi Huan was dumbfounded as she was led away by Chu Xiuhuang. She handled the hospitalization procedures, picked up the necessary hospital items, and finally arrived at the top floor of the hospitalization department, entering a high-ss VIP ward. Chapter 398: 398, cut off the offspring Chapter 398: cut off the offspring A nurse was instructing Shi Huan on how to use the medical equipment in the room while Chu Xiuhuang went to the bathroom with his hospital clothes. After a moment, he came out dressed in the hospital gown. How do I look? Having heard the voice, Shi Huan turned back, What? What do you think of my new look? Chu Xiuhuang was leaning against the wall with one hand, bending one long leg in a rather mboyant pose. Handsome or not? Shi Huan pursed her lips, Very handsome. Chu Xiuhuang nodded in satisfaction, Take a few pictures of me. Shi Huan: The nurse on the side stifled herughter. It was her first encounter with such a vain patient. Even being half-paralyzed didnt dampen his vanity. After Shi Huan took a few photos of him, and the nurse left, Chu Xiuhuangid down on the bed and started negotiating, Whats the n? Shi Huan looked at him, What do you mean? Why did it feel like Chu Xiuhuang was always saying something she didnt understand? His eyes slid to the corner, as Chu Xiuhuang red at her from the bottom, I m hurt this badly because of you, how are you going to take responsibility? Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Chu, what did the doctor say? She would never believe that his thing could be so fragile. You heard what the doctor said. Thinking of the young, baby-faced female doctor, Shi Huan immediately frowned and suggested, Mr. Chu, should we get a second opinion? The doctor from before seemed a little inexperienced. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face immediately turned cold, You seem inexperienced too, but you managed to kick my vital part to pieces, didnt you? Shi Huan: Anyway, you have to take responsibility for the damage youve caused. What does Mr. Chu mean? Chu Xiuhuang smirked, During my hospitalization, you must take care of my daily needs. You can only leave when Ive fully recovered. No! Her quick refusal made Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darken again, No? Shi Huan exined, Thepany is very busy every day, and I cant take time off. Allpany operations can be paused. Why? The boss is on the verge of bing sterile, whats the point of making money? Shi Huan was speechless, Mr. Chu, could you stop being so wilful? Although he indeed financed and founded thepany, she had been working there for five years and had given all her efforts. The development of thepany had been going well, but now just because the boss was hospitalized she had to pause all the operations. How could he be so arbitrary? I started thepany, I can do what I want. If you dont agree, Ill dere bankruptcy tomorrow. Shi Huan was even more speechless, But I have things to do at home. My uncle and aunt have gone abroad, and I have to take care of the child. After thinking for a while, she quickly suggested again, Mr. Chu, let me hire a few nurses for you, young, beautiful, and capable I dont want other women to look after me. Its filthy. How about I ask the Chu family to send some maids from home to take care of you? Do you think I would be willing to broadcast this matter? Shi Huan: Who had just announced in front of all his customers and employees about his potential sterility? Stop talking nonsense. You damaged my lower body; isnt it reasonable for me to ask you to take care of me? Or else Chu Xiuhuangs eyes sparkled evilly, Are you nning to marry me and take responsibility for the rest of my life? Mr. Chu, I think Id better take care of you first. Chu Xiuhuang: Shit! She agreed so quickly, how terrified would she have to be to marry him? Eh? * * Nancheng University. In the evening, Su Wanwan had just finished dinner when she received a call from Huo Jingshen, Come to the gate. Why? Im about to go to the library for my evening self-study. She had already reserved a seat and couldnt bear to let it go to waste. Huo Jingshen said impatiently, Xiuhuang is in the hospital, Im taking you to visit him. Ill drive you back once were done. Really? Chu Xiuhuang was hospitalized? Su Wanwan found this hard to believe. Such an arrogant and charming man could get sick? You ate his meal at noon, and now hes hospitalized. Dontyou think you should visit? argued Huo Jingshen. Su Wanwan was annoyed, It was you who took me there for the meal! No free lunch! Having no other option, she dressed up and went to the school gate. As the lights lit up, the sight of a handsome man and a luxury car was an enchanting spectacle that caught the attention of passersby. Huo Jingshen stood by the car, perfectly proportioned, wearing a ck coat with a dark plush sweater. The matching dark tie hung elegantly at the corbone of his white shirt. Every move he made showcased the elegance and taste of a mature man. Su Wanwan opened the car door and jumped in. When Huo Jingshen got back into the car, he couldnt help but re at her, What were you doing standing outside? Dont you feel cold? Sweetie, are you concerned about your husbands health? Su Wanwan: She was just thinking he was trying too hard to be shy. However, Huo Jingshen hinted, Dont worry, your husband is very strong and canst a long time. SuWenwen: Cant we have a proper conversation? Unlike someone. Huo Jingshen said as he drove the car out. Su Wenwen thus asked, Is your friend ill or injured? Injured. Where is the injury? Huo Jingshen answered ambiguously, Below. Below? Su Wenwen frowned. Could it be a broken leg? Was it a car ident? Su Wenwen couldnt resist her curiosity, Or was he beaten up by someone? Huo Jingshen gave a faint smile, Injured by himself. Injured by himself? Su Wenwen became even more confused: Arriving at the hospital, Su Wanwan suggested while seeing a flower shop outside, Shall we buy a bunch of flowers? Huo Jingshen drove into the gate without blinking, He doesnt like flowers. Should we buy something else? Isnt it unseemly to visit a sick person at the hospital without bringing anything? Huo Jingshen nced at her, Ill send him a red envelopeter. Su Wenwen nodded. That works. After all, they are very familiar with each other, and red envelopes are more practical. So they entered the hospital room empty-handed. It seemed that Chu Xiuhuang had just eaten. Lu Chenyu was sitting on the sofa, Shi Huan was the only other person in the room. But Shi Huan was busy doing dishes and cleaning tables, while the two men were chatting. When they saw the visitors, Lu Chenyu greeted them in a book-like manner, Big brother, sister-inw. Su Wanwan smiled and then began to observe Chu Xiuhuang. He was wearing a full set of blue and white striped patient clothing, sitting semi-reclined on the hospital bed with his legs up, his eyes arrogant and domineering, not looking like a patient but rather someone who came to enjov himself. Looking at Lu Chenyu, who had taken off his coat because he was indoors and was wearing a neat dark blue suit with a perfectly tied tie. He must have rushed here directly from hisw firm, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Knowing that his best friend was hospitalized, he was the first to rush over to visit. These two must truly love each other, no doubt. Seeing Shi Huan going to wash fruits, Su Wenwen followed her quickly, Secretary Shi, let me help you. After the two women left, Chu Xiuhuang instantly frowned, severely using, Big brother, you and your wife just came empty-handed? I remember when the youngdy was hospitalizedst time, I had my secretary deliver flowers and gifts and even visited personally Dont you think youre being unreasonable? Huo Jingshen simply took out his phone, Your sister-inw cares about you. She asked me to specifically send you a red envelope. Chu Xiuhuang: The phone rang, he picked it up to look. Huo Jingshen had really sent a WeChat red envelope in the WJY group. But Chu Xiuhuang didnt even bother to open it. Is hecking money? The most hated thing is the WeChat red envelope, no sincerity at all! But the happy voice of Nangong Ci was quickly heard outside, I grabbed eighty-eight yuan haha! Chu Xiuhuang: Damn idiot! Big brother, sister-inw. Nangong Ci came in happily like a little magpie, I grabbed eighty-eight yuan! After saying this, he began to urge others, Second brother, fourth brother, big brother sent a red envelope. Why arent you guys grabbing it? Lu Chenyu silently picked up his phone. Holy cow, fourth brother quietly grabbed more than a hundred! Nangong Ci looked at the phone, Second brother, grab it quickly! Grab your damn head! Chu Xiuhuang cursed directly. Nangong Ci: If you dont grab it, dont grab it. Why scold people? The next second. Hahaha. Nangong Ci broke into a carefreeughter again, Second brother this luck, one penny hahaha, are you intending to remain single? ChuXiuhuang: Damn it! It would be better not to grab it! Today seems to sh with the number 11! * * Inside the bathroom, Su Wanwan heard theughtering from outside and curiously asked, Secretary Shi, where exactly is your boss injured? Just now he was sitting with his legs up, now he is chatting so happily with everyone. He does not look like hes injured at all. Shi Huan pursed her lips and vaguely said, He has some problems down there. Which down there are you referring to? Su Wanwan didnt make the connection, Just tell me directly. Its just the two of us here. Shi Huan thus had to be straightforward, His old two has some problems. Su Wanwan: She blushed. My goodness, you didnt need to be THAT explicit! o o Chapter 399: 399, too embarrassed to see people Chapter 399: too embarrassed to see people After washing the fruit, the two returned to the ward, instantly quietening the room that had been filled with chatter. After all, some topics simply couldnt be broached with a woman present. Seeing therge te of strawberries in Shi Huans hand, Nangong Ci reached to grab some but was immediately stopped by Chu Xiuhuang, Thats my fruit! Nangong Ci could only retract his hand muttering an internal, Stingy second brother, boohoo. Shi Huan set the fruit te in front of Chu Xiuhuang, nced around the room, and then offered, Ill go wash some more fruit, okay? Great, great, Secretary Shi, youre the best. Nangong Ci was pleased C he was going to get some fruit after all. To his surprise, Chu Xiuhuang immediately protested, Shes MY secretary! Once again, Nangong Ci couldnt help but mumble internally, Man, this was a stark disy of possessiveness from Chu Xiuhuang! Secretary Shi. Chu Xiuhuang, sprawled like an emperor, instructed, Feed me some fruit. Shi Huans eye twitched in response, Chu, didnt you just hurt your hand? Cant my hand be sore? Feed me. Left without much choice, Shi Huan proceeded to feed him a strawberry. With narrowed eyes Chu Xiuhuang savored the bite, Mmm, so sweet. Shi Huan: Meanwhile, Su Wanwan couldnt help but recall Huo Jingshens words from before. He had imed that Chu Xiuhuang had injured himself. And now Chu Xiuhuang was iming his hands were sore. In a sh, she envisioned a dramatic scene involving Chu Xiuhuang and Lu Chenyu having a grand showdown, culminating in a hospital stay Good gracious! Su Wanwan felt she could no longer face these two anymore. Husband, I want to go back to school Her wide-eyed look at Huo Jingshen was meant tomunicate her hint, but Huo Jingshen understood her otherwise, Baby, do you want a strawberry too? Su Wanwan: God! There was absolutely no mutual understanding between them! Fortunately, the sound of hurried footsteps from the corridor interrupted them. Soon, the door was pushed open, and the first one to rush in was the head of the Chu Family, followed by an eager crowd of rtives, both known and unknown, to Su Wanwan. Among them, Su Wanwan recognized only Chu Shiwu and Chu Jingyi. Uponying eyes on Su Wanwan, Chu Jingyi immediately turned away her attention with a cold demeanor. Bigbrother, sister-inw. Chu Shiwu, however, greeted them politely. Su Wanwan remembered her ssmate Wu Ying, who, since theirst meal together, had taken a liking to Chu Shiwu and had been pestering her for his WeChat ever since. Whats your WeChat? Chu Shiwu was taken aback, not expecting to be asked for his WeChat by his sister-inw, and instinctively looked towards Huo Jingshen for approval. Su Wanwan was puzzled, Why are you looking at him? Chu Shiwu felt embarrassed, and despite a lingering warning look from someone, he hesitantly took out his phone, Sister-inw, let me scan your QR code. Sure. Su Wanwan also pulled out her phone. Just as their WeChats had been linked, the sound of Huo Jingshens voice rang out, Shiwu,e out with me. Su Wanwan was bewildered. Chu Shiwu, on the other hand, was visibly distressed. If he had known earlier that Huo Jingshen wasing to visit his brother, he would have nevere with his parents. Thanks to Huo Jingshensmandst time, he had had to apany a few of his female ssmates for dinner and then drive them back to the dorm. A girl named Wu Ying had since been pestering him relentlessly to add her WeChat So now, at the sight of Huo Jingshen, he couldnt help but feel frightened! After a while, Su Wanwan left the ward. As the elders of Chu family bombarded their grandson with questions about his mysterious illness C questions Chu Xiuhuang conveniently dodged, the room was filled with their incessant chatter. Coming outside, she heard Huo Jingshen speaking. What I just told you I got it, I got it all. Chu Shiwu was constantly reassuring,pletely bbergasted by Huo Jingshens overreaction just because he had added his wife on WeChat. Even respect for the old and love for the young came up His sister-inw was two years younger than him, for goodness sake! Huo Jingshen nodded, seemingly content. Ill take your sister-inw home first, exin to Grandpa for me. Okay, goodbye brother, goodbye sister-inw! Chu Shiwu was waving off them off energetically likehe was bidding farewell to a gue. Please leave soon! ** Once inside the elevator, Su Wanwan asked him, What did you say to him? How could he scare the child like that? Nothing much. Huo Jingshen held her small hand, Just gave him some life advice. As Su Wanwan was about to speak, the elevator doors opened at the level below, and a woman walked in. After pressing the button for the 10th floor, she kept talking on her cell phone, The doctor says she cant handle stress. I dont want her to know about Ye Beis cheating. Thats how my dad divorced her. Shell be traumatized. You saw her reaction that day, it was too extreme. She really didnt mean it, she just got you confused with Ye Bei Su Wanwan: So that was what it was? My mom is in the hospital now. Tian Ye said, starting to cry, That day, I had just wanted you to cheer her up. I was worried you might not agree, so I didnt tell you in advance that it was her birthday. Yebai, can you forgive me this once? The elevator door opened on the 10th floor, and she walked out immediately. Su Wanwan intentionally took a nce. The 10th floor was the psychiatric department? What kind of bigshot has Mo Xiaose gotten tangled up with now? ** Lishui Bay Vi. Study on the first floor. As the time approached eight in the evening, Chen Jin said, Finish all these problems. Okay. Mo Weiyi obediently nodded. Chen Jin picked up the hot drink on the table, sipping while looking at Mo Weiyi. The orange light poured down from above, illuminating Mo Weiyi as she kept her head down. Her eyshes were long and curled, her cheeks filled with youthful cogen, and her side profile almost wless. She really was very beautiful, a good match for her husband. A handsome mans face appeared in Chen Jins mind. Since that fleeting glimpsest time, she hadnt seen Xiaobai since. He seemed really busy. It made sense; supporting such a beautiful and delicate wife was definitely a full-time job. A feeling simr to disdain began to rise in Chen Jins heart. She had been tutoring Mo Weiyi for a whole month now, but she was really ipetent! Although she was already in her third year of college, why couldnt she handle basic courses from the first and second year? The idea of making the top ten in her final exams was just a pipe dream! If it werent for the high sry of this tutoring job, the way the servant treated her, and the luxury car rides home every night Chen Jin would have almost quit before. She couldnt stand particrly dumb students. And what was even more annoying was that Mo Weiyi was so serious. Whenever she didnt understand something, she would ask Chen Jin over and over again. Once when Chen Jin couldnt teach her and it was time to wrap up the lesson, she casually mentioned Mo Weiyi could ask her questions via WeChat during the day. Since then, she received messages from Mo Weiyi every day. It was really bothersome. She couldnt understand what Xiaobai saw in Mo Weiyi. Just because she was pretty? So being a scatterbrain didnt matter? As Chen Jin was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of an engine outside. Mo Weiyi heard it too and looked up, her voice full of excitement, Is Xiaobai back? Chen Jin immediately tapped on the table, Focus on your work. Mo Weiyi nibbled on the end of her pen and had to suppress her excitement, burying her head to continue her work. Chen Jin then said, Im going out to make a phone call. Call me when you finish your problems. Okay. ** Chen Jin stepped outside and just as she was closing the door to the study, she heard footsteps. Soon, Xiao Yebai entered the vi, standing in the foyer to change his shoes. The bright indoor light projected onto him, seeming to wrap him in a gentle halo. He was looking down; his handsome, stereoscopic features appeared much softer as a result, and his tall, slim figure, like a ma, drew her full attention. Seeing Chen Jin standing in the living room, Xiao Yebais face didnt reveal much of an expression, he just nodded at her. Chen Jins heart fluttered, and she quickly nodded back, Hello. Young Master Xiao. Aunt Zhous voice suddenly rang out, You have a delivery. So, his surname was Xiao. Xiao what Bai? Chen Jins mind started racing again. Aunt Zhou handed Xiao Yebai the package on the coffee table, It seems to have been sent from America. Okay. Xiao Yebai took the package, nced at it, then started walking towards the study. Chen Jin was standing in the doorway of the study, and as he approached step by step, her heartbeat elerated, her nose even picking up a faint smell of tobo But before she could react, Xiao Yebai suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to head upstairs. Chen Jin stood there, dumbfounded and disappointed. Chapter 400: 400, Monk Chapter 400: Monk When she returned to the study, Mo Weiyi was still grappling with the problems. About twenty minutester, she finished all the problems and handed them, full of expectation, to Chen Jin, only to see her drawing red crosses on her work one after another. Mo Weiyis delicate face was gradually tinted with blush. Layer byyer, the blush deepened. By the end, it was scorching hot. Not bad, youve got two problems correct this time. After checking all the answers, Chen Jin said this. Mo Weiyi was somewhat incredulous, her cat-like eyes widened in surprise, Teacher Chen, did I only get two problems correct? Out of twenty problems, she only solved two correctly? All the rest were wrong, this Mo Weiyi felt she was losing face. Chen Jin looked at her, her eyes behind the lenses twinkling with obvious amusement, Youve done pretty well and made some progress. Mo Weiyi: Only answering two problems correctly was considered progress? Mo Weiyi embarrassingly buried her face into the table. Her long, curly hair cascaded down, almost obscuring her figure. Then, she raised her head to look at Chen Jin suddenly, Teacher Chen, is there no hope of me getting into the top ten in my ss? Chen Jin replied with a smile, Why are you so eager to make it into the top ten? She didnt understand why Mo Weiyi was so urgent about her academic performance. She had taught students like Mo Weiyi before. They were the little princes and princesses of their homes, slow inprehension and reaction, but their parents held high expectations for them, putting all kinds of pressure on the tutors. In the end, she was working hard in teaching, and they were struggling to learn. In Chen Jins eyes, it was indeed self-inflicted suffering. Why should one strive to learn? Because some need to work hard to change their destinies, but some do not, right? Like Mo Weiyi, who is so beautiful, rich, and married a handsome man, has been victorious in life. As for herself, no matter how hard she worked, she might not even get one ten- thousandth of what Mo Weiyi has now in her entire life. So sometimes, you just have to ept fate! People are born unequal, no matter how sour or unptable that is Mo Weiyi had no idea so much resentment was stirring in Chen Jins heart, and now she only felt overwhelmed. And for something as intimate as pregnancy, it was one thing to confide in a close girlfriend, but even though Teacher Chen was nice, Mo Weiyi had no ns to share her private matters with her. All she could ask was, Teacher Chen, do you mean that I have no chance of making the top ten? Chen Jin thought about it and said gently, Actually, your foundation is a bit weak, there isnt much time left, you can only rely on rote memorization. I believe in rewarding diligence, with diligence you can make up for deficiencies. Keep it up. Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi slouched even more. Since the time was up, she could only say, Then Ill ask you about these problems tomorrow. Its gettingte, Teacher Chen, Ill have the driver take you home. Okay. When they arrived in the living room, Aunt Zhou said, Liu took a leave today, saying his mother was ill and he had to stay in the hospital. Chen Jin was taken aback, ThenIU take a cab home? Are you able to hail a cab? Mo Weiyis refined face creased. It was nine oclock in the evening, it was raining outside in the freezing cold, it was probably hard to get a cab. Ill try. Chen Jin finished and began hailing a cab on the app. Although Lishui Bay Vi is located in the city, the suburb where Chen Jin lived is on the outskirts, across half the city of Nancheng. And now its nine in the evening, and its raining As expected. After waiting for more than ten minutes, no drivers were willing to take the order. Mo Weiyi frowned. Because she had been a good girl and attended school every day recently, life had been calm and peaceful, and she had rxed her guard. She had already sent her bodyguards back to her old house. As a result, she now found herself in a predicament C the driver was not there and no one was avable to send Chen Jin home. After thinking a moment, she said, Maybe Xiaobai can take you home? Chen Jins heart skipped a beat and she nearly stuttered, Nono, that wouldnt be proper. Its okay, just to take you home. Mo Weiyi really had no problem with it. At a nce, Chen Jin was clearly a conscientious and straightforward model student. She didnt wear makeup, didnt dye her hair, didnt do her nails, and dressed simply. More so, she was patient with her. The only thing she worried about was whether Xiao Yebai would be willing to give her a ride. After all, apart from her, Xiao Yebai always acted distant and cold to everyone, especially women. Then thank you, Mr. Xiao, Chen Jin said, a soft smile on her lips. As Aunt Zhou went upstairs to fetch him, her heart was pounding with anticipation. The thought of being alone in the car with him stirred up a flurry of excitement in her heart. Chen Jin had never been in a rtionship, but she felt it might be love at first sight with Xiao Yebai. How could such a handsome man not make a womans heart flutter? Even though she knew that this was no more than a fruitless, unrequited love. She knew all too well that she could never match his social standing and status. Even less in physical appearance, she and Mo Weiyi were as different as heaven from earth. She wouldnt cross any boundaries. All she wanted was to secretly harbor this beautiful emotion in her heart. As time ticked away, finally, footsteps sounded from the stairs. Chen Jin turned with expectation, but it was only Aunt Zhou who appeared in her sight. Miss Chen, young master Xiao has mentioned that he will arrange someone to take you home shortly. Chen Jin was dumbstruck. In a soft voice, Mo Weiyi asked, Who has Xiaobai arranged? Its Assistant Zhong, apparently. Oh, its Zhong Kai. Mo Weiyi looked at Chen Jin and smiled gently, Chen, you know Zhong Kai as well, hes reliable. Hell make sure you get home safely. Okay, was all Chen Jin could manage to reply. * * Twenty minutester, Zhong Kai arrived at the door with his car. It was such a tiring day. While he was at home, idle and watching variety shows, he was abruptly woken by a call from Mr. Xiao. He thought it was some urgent work that needed his attention, only to find out he was required to drive Chen Jin home. It was raining heavily,te at night, and freezing cold out. He had to drive from the southern city to pick someone up in the city center, then drop them off in the northern city, before driving back home himself. Zhong Kai felt bitter. Being of lower standing, he could only agree. * * After seeing Chen Jin off, Mo Weiyi turned and walked upstairs. She pushed open the door to find Xiao Yebai on the sofa, engrossed in hisputer. He had taken a shower and was in a dark blue robe. Wearing his signature sses and focusing intently on his work, he looked peaceful, refined, and insanely attractive. Mo Weiyi strolled over and muttered, Xiaobai, my English tutor justplimented me on my progress. Is that so? Xiao Yebai lifted his gaze to look at her, sounding indifferent. But I only got two out of twenty questions right. Xiao Yebai: What should I do? I find learning English so difficult, I cant even recognize the alphabets, no matter how hard I try. Mo Weiyi then draped herself over him, pouting and acting spoiled. But the moment was short-lived. Xiao Yebai calmly disconnected her arm from his body, his voice devoid of emotional fluctuation, I have an important document to handle. Mo Weiyi pouted instantly, But the teacher criticized me earlier, and I felt really upset. I need Xiaobai tofort me. Take your time learning English, making it into the top ten next semester is just as good. Xiao Yebais tone was still indifferent. After all, it wasnt a challenging task and he wouldnt make such a promise carelessly. Absolutely not! Mo Weiyis lips pouted even higher, Next semester, Ill turn twenty-one. Whats the implication of turning a year older? The sooner to have babies the better, maybe top twenty? Top thirty? No. Mo Weiyi: She looked at Xiao Yebai, who had no room for negotiation. It reminded her of how Chen Jin spoke earlier. It was also with such indifference. Forget it. Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, Im going to continue memorizing vocabry. I dont believe I cant seed, Hard work is the way to sess. Hard work is the way to sess? Upon hearing these words, a flicker of emotion passed in the depths of Xiao Yebais eyes. Just when Mo Weiyi was about to leave, Xiao Yebai sped her wrist. Ah. With a startled gasp, she found herself sitting down, face to face with his magnificently sculpted face. Uh. Whats wrong with Xiaobai? Why did he suddenly be so passionate? Earlier, when she tried to tease him, he was like an untouchable monk,pletely focused on his work In just a few seconds, he seemed to have transformed Chapter 401: 401, Improper thoughts Chapter 401: Improper thoughts As the golden sunlight spread across thend, the rays gradually nted with the passage of time, passing throughyers of curtains, and finally fell on one corner of the bed. On the violet carvedvish bed, Mo Weiyis exquisitely arched eyebrows wrinkled and his closed catlike eyes slowly opened. There was a moment of nkness in his mind. His consciousness slowly returned. Recently, both he and Xiaobai were busy with work and studies. They didnt have much time together. He wasnt sure why they were unusually passionate yesterday Mo Weiyi wanted to rise, but he felt sore all over. After rolling around in the nket for a while, he finally manage to get up with difficulty. Xiaobai, Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi ruffled his hair and turned to look at the bedside table. Upon seeing the time shown on the rm clock, he nearly lost it. Half past nine? He urgently threw off the nket. This is bad, he had English ss at nine in the morning. The professor mentionedst time that he would take attendance and check homework today. Those who arete would lose points! He overslept, to think that his love life would lead him astray! Mo Weiyi didnt have time to wonder why his three to four daily morning rms didnt ring. He quickly washed up, dressed, and hurried downstairs. Aunt Zhou, is Uncle Liu here? Askhim to take me to school quickly! Alright. Aunt Zhou said smilingly, Breakfast is ready Princess? Princess? The princess ran off? She would even skip breakfast to go to school? Aunt Zhou was once again surprised by Mo Weiyis behavior. * * In the car, after hastily applying makeup, Mo Weiyi finally arrived at the school past ten. When he reached the ssroom, the second ss had already begun. He realized that the teacher for today wasnt the usual professor, but a stern, nitpicking professor from the English department. Mo Weiyi thought he was doomed. He wasnt just going to lose points, he was probably going to have a hard time during the exam too As expected, when he saw someone arrivete, the old professor furrowed his brows and angrily said, What time is it now? With a loud bang1, he mmed a duster onto the table, making the entire ssroom shake three times. Is this how youw students attend sses? Arrivingte, skipping sses, and turning inte The second ss is already ending, what are you doing here? Then, pulling out a small notebook and pen, he asked, Whats your name? He was in real trouble, about to get named and lose points Mo Weiyi sighed inwardly, and reluctantly told him, Mo Weiyi. What? Speak up, after beingte, what else are you ashamed of! Therefore Mo Weiyi! The old professors hand shook, he adjusted his sses, put down his pen, muttered, Unbelievable! Come in and start studying! Mo Weiyi: Everyone: * * After ss, the old professor was about to leave. Teacher, wait a moment. The old professors legs trembled in fear. Was getting away with tardiness and missing the first ss not enough, now she wanted to bother him? Mo Weiyi walked up to him, innocently asked: Teacher, I missed the first ss today and missed out on the earlier part of the lecture, could you exin it to me once more? Old professor: Had Mo Weiyi changed his ways? He was actually proactively asking questions? Teacher? A confused look enveloped Mo Weiyis delicate face. The old professor finally recovered, Alright. * * Twenty minutester, the ssroom was empty. Mo Weiyi finally understood, Thankyou, teacher, I get it now. The old professor wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally able to leave. Really Why was she making her English studies soplicated? Wasnt it better to be the little princess of the Mo family? His lecture had exhausted him! His mouth was so dry! Mo Weiyi packed up her books, prepared to go to the canteen to find Su Wanwan. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard a voice behind her. Miss Mo. Mo Weiyi stopped and turned around. As expected, it was Tian Ye. She was dressed genteelly in a long skirt with a wine-red coat draped over her shoulders, her shoulder-length curly hair neatly styled, making her look warm and intellectual. What are you doing here? Mo Weiyi asked with a cold face. Tian Ye stared at the beautiful young girl in front of her and spoke softly, Miss Mo, it was wrong of me during the incident at the restaurant. I apologize. So, you came to apologize? Mo Weiyi held her books tighter, Tell me, what did you do wrong? Tian Ye was taken aback. The little girl in front of her, with obvious confidence and arrogance in her delicate eyes and eyebrows, spoke with her little chin lifted, giving her a superior air. Although she was five years younger than Tian Ye, her behavior was like that of a proud little princess. And she, without realizing it, was at a disadvantage. However, Tian Ye knew she was wrong and took a step ahead to exin, Miss Mo, Yebai and I are really just ssmates. My ex-boyfriends name is Ye Bei. We dated for five years. I stayed in America for two years for him. We almost got married until I found out he was cheating on me After that, I came back home. So, you intentionally said Yebai was your boyfriend? No, I didnt do it on purpose. Once when I was on the phone, my mother heard me call Yebai. She mistook it for Ye Bei. Coincidentally, it was her birthday yesterday, and she asked him toe to join us for dinner. I didnt dare tell her Ye Bei cheated on me because her heart is very weak and she has been suffering from severe depression Mo Weiyi finally got it, she lifted her chin higher, So why are you looking for me now? Miss Mo, I know this is a lot to ask, but Tian Ye bit her lip, finding it very hard to speak, My mother felt ufortable in her heart after returning homest night. The doctors said she needed a heart transnt immediately, but she refused. Could you ask Yebai to pay her a visit, pretending for a moment No! Mo Weiyi rejected her without hesitation. Miss Mo, cant you help me even if I beg? Tian Yes eyes reddened. She looked pitiful as she sobbed, My mom divorced my dad when I was ten because my dad had another family with a different woman. That woman came to our house with her son, which made my mom furious. They started fighting. When my dad came, he hit my mom without saying a word My moms foot was injured at that time. Later, when I went abroad, she lived alone in China with no friends or rtives. Life was tough for her. Now, all I want is for her to live her remaining years in peace. If Yebai can persuade her to have the heart transnt surgery, Im ready to do whatever you ask Why didnt you go to Yebai directly? Mo Weiyi sneered, Or did you already try that? Tian Ye quickly denied it, No, I didnt. Why not? He definitely wouldnt agree. Upon hearing that, Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh, If you already knew he wouldnt agree, then whye looking for me? Miss Mo, you are his wife. I believe that as long as you say something, he will listen and do it. Mo Weiyiughed tilted her head, Yeah, I also think so. Tian Ye: The next second. But I wont persuade him to do such a thing. I am not a saint. Why would I let my husband fake being another womans boyfriend? Only an idiot would do such a thing! Mo Weiyi was very blunt. Miss Mo. Tian Yes tears finally fell, As I have said, Yebai and I are really just friends. I wont have any improper thoughts. I beg you, can you help my mother? We just need to pretend for a moment and persuade my mother to undergo the surgery. Are you really going to watch her die? Is your heart really that cold Shut up! Mo Weiyis face darkened sharply, Miss Tian, since you and Xiaobai were ssmates at the American Institute, you must be an intellectual, right? Are intellectuals these days so fond of moral ckmail? If I dont save your mother, am I heartless? The fact is, my husband has been used by you, and I, as his wife, am the victim. Do you think I should still send him to be used by you again, and with a smile? Miss Mo, Let me tell you, even if I dont save her, no one can me me. First, if I let Xiaobai pretend to be your boyfriend, I will be very unhappy. Why should I make myself distressed just to do something good? Second, I remember your mother tried to hit mest time, calling me a mistress. If Xiaobai hadnt protected me, my face might have been scratched. Would I let Xiaobai meet such a dangerous person? What if she suddenly went crazy again and hurt Xiaobai? My mother is bedridden now, shes very weak. How could she possibly hit you Mo Weiyi chuckled coldly, What if she does? I initially thought your mother looked kind and gentle. Who knew she would suddenly go crazy, almost attacking me! Chapter 402: 402, not falling for this Chapter 402: not falling for this Miss Mo Her phone rang, Mo Weiyi tookit out and nced at it, I have to go, Im meeting a friend for dinner. After saying this, she turned to leave. Miss Mo, Miss Mo, Miss Mo, dont go Tian Ye rushed up to her, trying to grab her hand. Mo Weiyi violently shook him off. A gust of wind blew past, causing her full, curly hair to flutter wildly in the air, a strikingplement to her cold, striking features. Stop pulling at me and crying! Ive told you, the thing I hate most is the innocent. Im not falling for your act! Tian Ye looked at her, taken aback by her harsh tone. The two of them had been arguing in front of the teaching building for quite some time, one of them being the campus belle, the other crying non-stop; it had already attracted a good number of students who were watching the spectacle unfold. Mo Weiyi, no longer willing to engage with her, quickly turned and left. * * While having dinner in the cafeteria, Mo Weiyi told her best friend about what had happened. Su Wanwan picked up a piece of beef and ced it in her mouth, chewing as she spoke, I was wondering whether or not to tell you about this. I ran into her at the hospital yesterday. She was indeed seeking a psychiatrist and she was crying. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, ck and white eyes, So that Tian Ye didnt lie to me? Probably not, so are you going to help her? Su Wanwan asked her. Mo Weiyi sipped her soup, and replied at a leisurely pace, Nope! I am under no obligation to help her. Su Wanwan nodded. Would Tian Ye easily give up? She didnt think so. After a moments thought, Su Wanwan asked expectantly, What if she asks Mr. Xiao for help? Do you think he will assist her? Absolutely not. Mo Weiyi answered with absolute confidence. Why? Su Wanwan was curious, Because your Mr. Xiao is cold and heartless? He had always acted cold towards her after all. Without exaggerating, Su Wanwan felt that even though she had known Xiao Yebai for ten years, she had never seen him smile at her It was really hard for her to imagine him eagerly helping orforting someone else. No, Mo Weiyi said with a cheerful smile, He knows that if he helps another woman, it will upset me. Su Wanwan: Alright, thats the princess logic for you. Mo Weiyi was indeed solemn, but when she went home in the afternoon, Aunt Zhou came over in a hur-ry, holding a mobile phone in her hand. Little Princess, Mr. Xiao left his mobile phone at home, she said. Just now? Aunt Zhou nodded, Yes, Mr. Xiao came back earlier, changed his clothes and left again. This should be his work mobile phone. Mo Weiyi took the ck phone and casually asked, Did he say where he was going? I heard Assistant Zhong say something about Nangong Hospital. Nangong Hospital? Aunt Zhou nodded, Yes, Assistant Zhong went with him, so they should have gone together. Mo Weiyi didnt say anything. She looked at the ck business phone in her hand, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door, Uncle Liu, take me to the hospital. In fact, even if Xiao Yebai agreed to help, the most she would do was to feel a little troubled and unhappy, but in the end, she understood. After all, Tian Ye was his ssmate, and from his desperate cries at school that morning, it was clear that he was at his wit''s end. As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so Mo Weiyi felt that even if she didnt want to help, she wouldnt prevent Xiao Yebai from doing so. But if Xiao Yebai really did help and chose to hide it from her Mo Weiyi found that she just couldnt ept that. There should be honesty between husband and wife, and she wasnt such a cold-hearted person. All the way, she was lost in her thoughts, and when she saw the hospitale into view, she finally called Su Wenwen. Wanwan, do you remember which floor you saw Tian Ye on yesterday? Su Wanwan replied, The 21st floor, she came in from the 21st floor. Okay, I understand, she said. Entering the inpatient department, Mo Weiyi walked into the elevator without any obstacles and directly pressed the button for the 21st floor. The elevator numbers changedyer byyer, and so did the emotions in her heart. When the elevator door finally opened, Mo Weiyi looked up to see a familiar man in patient clothes standing outside. Oh, Little Princess, what a coincidence. Or Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, looking at Mo Weiyi with surprise, Did you know I was hospitalized, so you came to visit me specifically? Mo Weiyi didnt feel like dealing with him and walked in right away. But Chu Xiuhuang followed her, shamelessly saying, Little Princess, arent you a bit ungrateful? I remember thest time you were hospitalized, I continuously sent roses, 999 a day, for several days straight. Now that Im hospitalized, cant you even express a little bit of concern with a small flower? Mo Weiyi abruptly stopped, Why does a grown man still want flowers? Isnt that gross? Chu Xiuhuang wasnt angry at all. He raised his eyebrows and his thin lips curved into a wicked smile, Isnt it said that fresh flowers go with handsome men? How is that disgusting? Dont you youngdies like beautiful men like me? Mo Weiyi shivered all over and rolled her eyes. She walked up to a room and knocked on the door. She opened it and quickly apologized, Sorry, wrong room. Chu Xiuhuang jokingly asked, Little Princess, are you looking for your love rival? Mo Weiyi ignored him and quickly came to the second door, knocked, peeked in and said, Sorry, wrong person. Little Princess, youll be reported for disturbing the peace like this. Mo Weiyi continued to ignore him and knocked on a third door. She opened it to find the room empty. Little Princess Cant you stop bothering me?! Mo Weiyi couldnt help but vent her frustration. Damn. Her heart was already full of trouble, and now she encountered an even more annoying man. Not at all, Chu Xiuhuang smiled mischievously, Im all alone in the ward and bored. Youre looking for your love rival, right? I can apany you. Andter, I can help you teach her a lesson, should we disfigure her, or break her bones? Mo Weiyi stared at him, speechless, Arent you injured? Is the Little Princess actually worried about me? No. Mo Weiyi quickly denied it, I just want to know who beat you up. I want to send them a banner as a tribute, since theyve removed a menace to the public, they must be praised! Chu Xiuhuangs smile gradually stiffened, Little Princess, do you really wish that I got beaten up so bad? Mo Weiyi snorted and walked ahead haughtily, You, a yboy who harasses a different woman every month, should stay in the hospital a bit longer, so that the women of Nancheng can be safe. Not at all, not at all, without me, Chu Xiuhuang, ying the hero, it would be a big loss for the women of Nancheng. They will regret not having received jewelry from me. Mo Weiyi thought of the news story from yesterday. It imed that he bought up all the jewelry on disy at the entire banquet. Indeed, a fool and his money are easily parted! Once again, she pushed open a door, peeked inside, and quickly apologized, Sorry, wrong room. Before she could move on, Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist. Though she quickly shook him off. Stop running around like a headless fly. There are just over twenty rooms on this floor; when will you find what youre looking for? Thats none of your business. Tell me what your love rival looks like, whats their name, and Ill help you ask around. Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone as he spoke, I can ask someone to help you find out, wouldnt that be better? Mo Weiyi hesitated for a moment, Shes probably in her fifties, has a heart condition, and seems to have a mental illness. I dont know her surname. In her fifties? Chu Xiuhuang clucked his tongue in amazement, Looks like your husband has quite an interesting taste? Mo Weiyi couldnt help but roll her eyes, Stop talking nonsense and quickly ask. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched, You are the second woman in this world who dares to oppose me! The first one was that damned personal secretary! Soon, Nangong Ci sent a message. As Mo Weiyi was reading it, two men walked out of the furthest room down the corridor. Boss Xiao, its Princess Zhong Kais words were cut short by the sudden coldness on Xiao Yebais face. He was looking at the picturesque scene in front of him. Chu Xiuhuang, in his patient gown, still retained his seductive and beautiful charm despite not having made any effort. Instead, there was an added hint of debauched freedom. Mo Weiyi, who stood by his side, only reached his shoulders and was looking at her phone. The man was tall, handsome, and wickedly charming. The woman was tall, beautiful, and sweet. What a strangely perfect match! Zhong Kai sneakily nced at the man beside him and felt a jolt in his heart. Although Boss Xiao always appeared cold and emotionless, Zhong Kai knew that he had a strong possessive desire towards the Princess. After all, he demanded that even her tutors must be female. Room 2209? After reading the message, Mo Weiyi looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. Chapter 403: 403, Xiaobai: Idiot! Chapter 403: Xiaobai: Idiot! Room number 2209? Mo Weiyi finished reading the message, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him. As if realizing something, Chu Xiuhuang also looked up. Xiao Yebai was standing at the end of the corridor. His coat was in Zhong Kais hands, and he was wearing a meticulous, well-fitted ck suit. His sses gave him a cold and refined look, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi hurried over. A provocative smile spread on Chu Xiuhuangs thin lips. Seeing the evident hostility in the mans eyes, heughed and shouted, Little Princess, if your husband ever gets hooked on anotherdy, remember to kick him over to me! Mo Weiyi: Goddamn! She stopped in her tracks and turned back to give him a fierce re. Xiao Yebai, on the other hand, remained expressionless, with a fleeting hint of a dark emotion in his eyes. Chu Xiuhuangughed heartily as he left. Mo Weiyi quickly jogged to Xiaobai, wrapping her arm around his and raising her face to appease him, Xiaobai, dont get me wrong, hes just a big mouth, hes hospitalized recently, his brain is a bit off, so dont be angry, okay? Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. Really, he was beaten up and ended up in hospital, his head was hurt too, so everything he said just now is all nonsense, dont bother with him. Xiao Yebai still didnt say anything. Looking at the mans tense and handsome profile, Mo Weiyi cautiously asked, Xiaobai, are you angry? But I really just ran into him just now Does a coincidence need you to look at your phone? Finally, Xiao Yebai spoke. Mo Weiyi stammered, I just asked him to do me a favor What favor? Mo Weiyi felt a bit sheepish. If Xiaobai found out she came to catch him and Xiao Yebai looked at her guilty expression, his thin lips scoffed, Why arent you speaking? Mo Weiyi sighed and had no choice but to confess, Fine, I just asked him to help check on a hospital room. Check what hospital room? Xiao Yebai continued to probe. His manner was assertive, direct, and intimidating. Its just Before Mo Weiyi could finish, Xiao Yebai coldly cut her off, What exactly are you doing at the hospital? Zhong Kai standing by shuddered violently. Holy shit! A jealous Xiao Yebais so terrifying! Im really worried about the Little Princess But then Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and raised her chin defiantly, retorting, I havent asked you yet. Did youe to y the part of Tian Yes boyfriend? Even though shes the one who came to question him at the hospital, why is it that shes the one being questioned? Mo Weiyi wasnt willing to give in. Behind the lenses, Xiao Yebais lovely peach blossom eyes squinted, and then He actually walked away? Watching the mans upright and aloof figure, Mo Weiyi paused for a moment before rushing to catch up and grabbed his arm, apologizing, Xiaobai, I was wrong, I didnt mean to catch you or anything, its just that I was worried about you, Xiaobai Xiao Yebai kept a straight face and kept moving forward. He had long legs and walked fast, and Mo Weiyi soon found it hard to keep up. Besides, she was wearing a pair of tall, slender boots with stiletto heels that day. They were beautiful but not very stable. One moment of inattention and she was suddenly slipping forward. Ahhhhhhhh! Princess, be careful! Zhong Kai was so scared his heart almost jumped out, rushing forward. Next, he saw the usually cold and indifferent Xiao Yebai stop in an instant. With one hand, he grabbed Mo Weiyis arm, and with the other, he scooped her into his arms. Mo Weiyi was clinging to him, startled, her small ws tightly gripping his suit. Her face was pale with fear, Im so scared, wuwuwu Xiao Yebai looked down at the pitiful and delicate face in front of him, his thin lips parting to utter two words, Idiot. Idiot? Mo Weiyi pouted, Xiaobai, Im scared to death, and you still scold me! Xiao Yebai let her go without expression, and turned to leave. Who knew his arm would be grabbed again by those two little ws, apanied by her soft voice, Xiaobai, please walk with me, this tile is too slippery, Im afraid Ill fall. Xiao Yebais facial features remained tense, but he didnt shake her off this time. Behind them, Zhong Kai wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly followed them. Once in the elevator, he had just pressed the button for the ground floor when he heard Mo Weiyis gentle voice again, Xiaobai, you havent told me, were you helping Tian Ye just now? Xiao Yebai replied indifferently, Who told you? So you really did go? Mo Weiyi huffed, sounding annoyed, She came to find me at school today and told me to call you to the hospital to y the part of her boyfriend and persuade her mother to ept the surgery. I didnt agree, and she called me heartless and even scolded me for being ruthless! She begged me to find you and I told her you definitely wouldnt agree to help. I didnt expect you Mo Weiyi hung her head, feeling a bit upset again. Shes not such a cold and ruthless woman. Although she didnt want to help, if the woman stubbornly refused to have surgery and it was a matter of life and death, she might have Princess, you misunderstand, Zhong Kai couldnt help but want to exin for his CEO, Xiao Yebai didnt pretend to be Miss Tians boyfriend. Earlier, we Xiao Yebai just looked at him silently. Zhong Kai quickly shut his mouth. Damn! Xiao Yebai is absolutely devastating. Every time he stared at you with those eyes, one cant help but submit. Did you say Xiaobai didnt pretend? Mo Weiyi asked. Zhong Kai kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak. Hurry up and say it! Mo Weiyi red at him, If you dont speak up, Im going to fire you! Zhong Kai felt his scalp tingle and had no choice but to force out an exnation, Xiao Yebai told me to pretend to be Ye Bei. Miss Tians mother is a little delirious and easy to fool, so she already believes it and her mood has stabilized. The doctor said she would be prepared for the operation in the next few days, Princess, rest assured. The elevator doors opened. Xiao Yebai walked out without saying a word. Mo Weiyi, however, praised him with a smile, Zhong Kai, you did well, Ill ask Xiaobai to give you a raise. Thankyou, Princess! Zhong Kai was overjoyed. His choice was definitely right. As long as he pleased the princess, what was there to fear in the future? Mo Weiyi had already caught up with Xiao Yebai and was clinging onto his arm again, her entire being leaning onto him. She tilted her face, her eyes filled with a charming and pleased smile, Xiaobai, why are you so reserved? You never tell me anything, made me worry for so long, okay, Id say were even this time, you dont be mad at me, and I wont be mad at you Im not mad. Xiao Yebai tly interrupted her. Alright, Xiaobai is not mad. Mo Weiyi followed his words, but she couldnt help but stick out her tongue after finishing. Still not mad? That little mouth of hers was pursed into a straight line. Such a introverted temper! ** Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang returned to his luxurious hospital room. He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through it and then turned on the TV for a while. Damn. Pretending to be sick is really boring! Can only move around inside the hospital, not even a person to talk to. Checking the time, he decided to call Shi Huan. But damn her! This woman dared to not answer his phone call! With dissatisfaction in his eyes, Chu Xiuhuang hit redial and began to call relentlessly. Finally, she picked up. Before Chu Xiuhuang could speak, Shi Huans impatient voice came through, Mr. Chu, could you stop pushing me? I just picked up my kid. What kid? My younger sister. Since when did you have a younger sister? Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows furrowed. He remembered that Shi Huan was the youngest daughter of the Shi Family, and the least favored. After all,pared to her dazzlingly beautiful sister, Shi Huan was like a dull invisible person. My uncles daughter. Your uncle. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, That convicted drug dealer? Shi Huan was silent. When did he get married and have a child? Shi Huan was silent again: Which good woman was so unlucky to be targeted by him? Mr. Chu. Shi Huan interrupted him, Enough, I have to drive the kid home. Alright. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Come to the hospital as soon as you send the child off. Ive been starving for half a day, remember to buy me dinner, you know what I like to eat anyway. Got it. ** Shi Huan hung up the call and drove the car out with a frown. Since Chu Xiuhuang was hospitalized yesterday, she had been taking care of him in the hospital, not even being able to go to thepany. Was she going to spend the next few months like this? Huanhuan, are we not going to Pizza Hut? Shi Luoluos voice suddenly came in. She was leaning against the car window, watching the passing Pizza Hut, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance. Shi Huan responded, When we get home, Aunt Wang will make you something delicious. But you promised to let me eat it once a week. Shi Luoluo pursed her little lips, seemingly a bit greedy. Your mother doesnt allow you to eat these things, from now on, you can have it once a month. Unable to see the Pizza Hut anymore, Shi Luoluo withdrew her gaze, twisting her fingers anxiously. Soon, the Cayenne drove into a somewhat old residential area. Shi Huan took the child into a one-bedroom house. Upon opening the door, the sound of cooking and the rich aroma of food were already wafting from the kitchen. Just as Shi Luoluo had put on her little slippers Auntie Wang, Im heading out. You remember to lock the door from the outside when you leave after cooking. Okay, I know. Huanhuan, where are you going? Shi Luoluo immediately grabbed her clothes, her eyes full of anxiety. m going to the hospital, I will be back tonight to apany you. But Im scared being alone. Dont be scared, if youre scared, call me, okay? Be good. Shi Huan patted her little head, closed the door, and left. Shi Luoluo pouted her mouth. As far as she could remember, her parents seldom spent time with her. Even her favorite Huanhuan was always busy. Poor kid. ** Buying and waiting for the food took quite a while. By the time Shi Huan arrived at the hospital, it was already past six in the evening. As soon as she got out of the car, a familiar figure appeared from a red Mercedes in front of her. It was Chu Jingyi. There was another woman with her, both of them chatting andughing. As they entered the staircase, the lighting swept over them, highlighting their delicate make-up and enticing figures, exuding the temperament of mature urban women. Shi Huan stood for a while, making sure that the two women had entered the elevator, before she made her way over. When she reached upstairs, as expected, she heard womens voicesing from inside the room. The door was not even closed properly. Ahuang, this is the Selina I mentioned to youst time. Shes a graduate from Harvard in America and has worked as an administrative secretary in Silicon Valley for five years. She is really good at brand PR, business partnerships, and market investment. Doing what? Chu Xiuhuangs frivolous voice chimed in. Of course, to be your secretary. You see, yourpany is growing well now, and as your secretary, she naturally represents the image of yourpany. I know Shi Huan has been your secretary for five years, and you might be used to her way of working, but sometimes you need to look at the overall professionalism. Look at her appearance and dressing What about it? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted,ughing lightly, Does my secretary have a problem? Is there a problem with her look and dress? Whether theres a problem or not, you should know. The Shi Family is on itsst legs now, youve done enough for them. I am only saying this for your own good Chu Xiuhuang cut her off again, Then you better spare the kindness for me, youd do better to put that effort on to your son, and your ex-husband. You Knock Knock Knock. All three turned around. Shi Huan was standing at the door, expressionless. She lowered her left hand knocking on the door, the right hand holding a takeout bag, which contained at least seven to eight food boxes. Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, Alright, young master needs to eat. Sister, you can take this s s what now? Selina awkwardly added, Mr. Chu, I am Selina. Selina, you can leave with my sister, and close the door on your way out. I dont like to have outsiders around while I eat, Im naturally shy. Selina: Chu Jingyi: Shi Huans lips twitched slightly. Chapter 404: 404, complain about heaven, earth, and air Chapter 404:in about heaven, earth, and air Shi Huan even had a little twitch at the corner of her mouth. Is Young Master Chu shy and introverted? Ha ha ha. Chu Jingyi, however, began to question Shi Huan, Shi Huan, my brother is sick now, is this how you usually take care of him? Its sote and hes just eating dinner now? And its takeaway? Are you, as a secretary, going a bit too far with your negligence? Hearing this, Shi Huan stopped unpacking the food bags, looked up at her and said, So, Miss Chu, could you persuade your brother to hire a few more nurses? Im really busy and dont have time to stay in the hospital and take care of him all day. At this point, not only was Chu Jingyi angry, but even Chu Xiuhuangs face darkened with anger. Chu Jingyi turned to Chu Xiuhuang directly, is this the so-called good secretary you mentioned? Shes so crude? Yet Chu Xiuhuang was even less polite, I told you to leave, why are you still here? Get lost now! Chu Jingyi was embarrassed: Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and turned to Selina, Im sorry, Selina, my brother is not in a good health and has a bad temper. Lets leave first. okay. With the departure of the disorderly crowd, tranquility was restored in the ward. Shi Huan opened all the takeout boxes and put them on the mobile table, then moved it in front of Chu Xiuhuang, Young Master Chu, you can eat now. Chu Xiuhuang squinted his phoenix-like eyes and said sarcastically, It seems that not only do you like to refute me, but you also like to refute everyone and everything. Shi Huan: She dares to defy even his sister. As his sister, he knows Chu Jingyis personality best. An intelligent kid since a young age, she showed astonishing talent in painting, winning the national art championship at less than ten years old. Thus, she gamed fame early, had an arrogant temperament, and plus, she had a stunning appearance as the eldest daughter of the Chu family. The Chu family was full ofpliments for her which fostered her now supercilious and arrogant personality. In fact, before he left for overseas, Chu Xiuhuang thought his sister was quite nice, just like the now twenty-year-old Mo Weiyi, who was proud, narcissistic, but also naive and straightforward, which was quite likable. However, since her marriage in Australia, divorce, and raising a child with no blood rtion to her, her personality has be more and more twisted. Now, shes even trying to meddle in his affairs. So, at the banquet that night, he subconsciously thought that Shi Huan had been bullied by Chu Jingyi. He has always protected his own people and could not bear to watch them being bullied. Therefore, he decided to defend her without a second thought. But now it seems that Secretary Shi does not fear anyone. She dared to confront even Chu Jingyi. Who could bully her? Thinking about Chu Jingyis unsightly expression just now, Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but startughing again, Secretary Shi, did you see that woman just now? Shi Huan raised her eyes, Which woman? There were only two women. Aside from my sister, who else could it be? Shi Huan answered with an oh. What do you think? Share your assessment. Chu Xiuhuang said as he ate and looked at Shi Huan. Shi Huan blinked, YoungMaster Chu means Chu Xiuhuang yfully raised one eyebrow, Actually, that woman is just so- so looking, or I should say, 99% of women in this world are in at best. But why do some women astonish and appeal to men? Because they are extremely skillful at presenting themselves. Shi Huan: Secretary Shi. Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, You should change your style a bit, actually, you look pretty good, although youre short, have a small chest, and have a big temper Young Master Chu. Shi Huan abruptly interrupted him, If you like that woman, you can make her your secretary. Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, I, the hell, did I say that I like her? Shi Huan maintained her calm tone, In any case, if you are not satisfied with my work, I can change. If youre not satisfied with other aspects of me, Im sorry, I cant change. After saying this, she picked up a te of fruit on the side, grabbed a few apples, and then went into the bathroom. ChuXiuhuang: This damn, she really has a big temper. Does she believe me if I threaten to fire her? He picked up his spoon and dug into his food aggressively. Ill let it go for now! Ill slowly torture you! After all, I still need you to take care of me here The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up. It was Shi Huans phone. While Chu Xiuhuang was still chewing on his chicken, he picked up the phone as if driven by some unseen force. Upon seeing the screen disy, he froze. Huanhuans Baby? This damn Isnt this disgusting? Not only does this Secretary Shi have bikini dates with men, but she also names the contact Huanhuans Baby? Indeed, appearances can be deceiving. Just as he was deciding whether or not to answer What are you doing with my phone? Shi Huans voice suddenly sounded. Then, Chu Xiuhuang saw her rushing over, snatching the phone from his hand, and looking at him with unusual anger, Young Master Chu, looking at someone elses phone without permission is the most impolite behavior, even if you are my boss, you cant do this! Saying this, she turned around and walked out. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face twitched. Damn it, this secretary is getting more and more audacious! So he dares to call me impolite! Watching sneakily? Was I sneaking? I was openly looking! ** The call was from Shi Luoluo. After Aunt Wang had cooked, she left, and the little girl ate by herself. As a result, she identally dropped the bowl on the floor, scattering it all over the ce. She honestly took a few photos of the messy floor, and in her soft voice, she apologized, Huanhuan, Im sorry, Ive dirtied your floor. Shi Huan sighed with relief, Its okay. Ill clean it up when I get home. Have you eaten enough? Im full. Then hurry up and do your homework, no watching cartoons. I know. She hung up the phone and Shi Huan let out a soft sigh. Her uncle and aunties rtionship was not that great. She remembered that they hade together due to some external factors, and after marrying, they had continued living respectfully with each other, staying in Canada most of the time and only returning to settle in China two years ago. Shi Huan still remembered the first time she saw Shi Luoluo. She was just a three-year-old little girl, beautiful and cute, but shyly introverted, not speaking much, and having some difficulty bonding with the elders of the Shi Family. Although Shi Huan thought she might not be the kind of person a child would like, to her surprise, this little girl always liked to hang out with her. Gradually the sisters built a good rtionship. Perhaps she has been particrly affectionate towards this little cousin because she once lost a small life. If that child from before had stayed, she should also have been five years old by now. She leaned into the hallway and, once again, she softly sighed. ** When she returned to the ward, Chu Xiuhuang had already finished his meal. His face clearly disapproving of her, You chatted for forty minutes, was that much to talk about, huh? Shi Huan looked at him confused. After cleaning up the dishes, she wiped the whole room clean. Checking the time she said, Mr. Chu, Ive got to go home. Chu Xiuhuang was ying a game on his cell phone, upon hearing her, he didnt lift his head, Tomorrow, remember to bring breakfast early. Alright. Shi Huan took her handbag, By the way, Mr. Chu, I wont be able toe here this Friday to Sunday. Chu Xiuhuang immediately put down his phone, his handsome face darkened Why? I told you before, Ive made an appointment. Chu Xiuhuang thought of Huanhuans baby and that three-point bikini swimsuit. Shi Huan asked, Should I call the old man and inform him? So, youre nning to stay out overnight? Shi Huan was momentarily stunned, then she nodded. Xiaoyis ss had organized a trip to the hot springs, departing on Friday afternoon. The next day, also happened to be Christmas, she could spend the holiday with Luoluo and her ssmates. However, Chu Xiuhuangs face turned even darker, When did this start? Why is it progressing so fast? Shi Huan frowned, What are you talking about? Chu Xiuhuang suddenly turned around, arrogantly showing her his back, Fine just go, youre annoying. Shi Huan: ** Friday came quickly. After Su Wanwan finished lunch, she said that she was going to go home. Knowing she was going to the hot springs with Huo Jingshen, and also celebrating Christmas Eve, Mo Weiyi was flooded with envy, jealousy and regret! Why? Howe my Christmas Eve can only be spent in a bitter English tutoring ss? In a moment of impulse, Mo Weiyi grabbed his phone and asked Chen Jin for a day off. Taking off only one night, wasnt that too excessive? When Su Wanwan arrived at the school gate, Huo Jingshens car was already parked there. As soon as she got in the car, Huo Jingshen said, Lets go directly to the hot springs resort. Ah? But I havent packed my bags yet! Your husband has taken care of it. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly, There are two suitcases in total. That much? Isnt it just two nights? Two suitcases, isnt that a bit exaggerated? Ziyang packed a small one. Huo Jingshen paused, The other big one is for both of us. Su Wanwan: Why did it sound strange to her? Cough, dealing with an old driver like him for a long time, she always had to think twice about everything he said. How ridiculous it is! Chapter 405: 405, old fairy! Chapter 405: old fairy! Huo Jingshen drove directly towards Phoenix Mountain, while Fu Ziyang probably followed the school bus. By the time they reached the spa resort on Phoenix Mountain, it was already four in the afternoon. The sky was full of red clouds from the sunset, a mesmerizing sight. The resort was located halfway up the mountain, and from a distance, its red roofs and green tiles looked like a fairnd. Since it was located in the suburban area of Nancheng and it was a holiday, several families and couples hade to vacation. Huo Jingshen fetched their room key and went straight to their top-floor suite with Su Wenwen. The couple, one leading and the other following, were pushing therge and small suitcases. As they exited the elevator, they saw a familiar face approaching. Secretary Shi! Su Wenwen eximed in surprise, seeing Shi Huan. So youre here too? What a coincidence. She had thought that Shi Luoluo was apanied by her parents, but didnt expect it to be her sister instead. Meeting a woman of the same age, Su Wenwen felt inexplicably happy. Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, Shi Huan greeted with a smile. I am going to get a smaller room downstairs. Your room is too big? Can I stay with you? As soon as Su Wanwan said that, Shi Huan was taken aback, while Huo Jingshen darkened his handsome face. Of course, in the end, Su Wanwan was taken to the presidential suite by Huo Jingshen. Right. Although the school had helped with booking rooms, Huo Jingshen had ordered a presidential suite on his own. Equipped with the costliest amenities, it was in no way inferior to any star hotel. However Looking at the room full of pink, Su Wanwan eximed, having a facial twitch What the heck is all this? The entire room was filled with red and pink roses. The bed was covered in red rose petals arranged in the shape of a heart. Pink bed curtains, pink bed linens, and even the curtains by the French windows fluttered in the wind. It reminded Su Wanwan of the photo that Mo Weiyi sentst time, which had the same arrangement. This was ridiculous. Had theye to the hot springs or were they on their honeymoon? Ji Jie did it. Huo Jingshen said bluntly. Well, the young man did an excellent job. He would get a raise when they returned. Unable to stand the sight, Su Wanwan quickly found her suitcase and started looking for her swimsuit. But then she discovered Whats with all thesewhat are these for? She was holding half-transparent storage bag containing birth control supplies! Just in case, Huo Jingshen shamelessly said. Throwing the storage bag aside, Su Wanwan blushed and continued to search until She picked up the ck bikini, trembling in anger, Bastard! Who told you to bring this? Wheres the two-piece swimsuit I bought? The carefully selected swimsuit had been swapped! Baby, you look better in this, Huo Jingshen nonchntly responded. The parents of the children are here, and you want me to show them this? After all, all the parents of the children were here. Who said anything about showing them? Huo Jingshen shamelessly continued, Its just foryour husbands eyes. He pointed. Su Wenwen then noticed the en-suite outdoor pool outside the bedroom window. It was convenient, clean, and extremely private. We cant spend the whole day in the room tomorrow, can we? Su Wanwan was speechless. They should at least go out and soak in the public bath. The children loved ying outside, and the teacher might have arranged group activities. The whole day? There was a smirk on Huo Jingshens face. Hmm, thats not a bad idea. Su Wanwan was, once again, left speechless: This damn man, always up to no good. * * Soon, the school bus arrived, followed by the parentsing in their cars one after another. Most of the rooms were assigned to the lower floors. When Su Wanwan found out Fu Ziyangs room was also downstairs, she felt too embarrassed to show her face. This is utterly His intentions are as clear as day. Too obvious. Thankfully, Shi Huans room with Shi Luoluo was just next door. Due to full upancy, all the rooms had been booked and there were no rooms to switch. After dinner, Teacher Wang exined some precautions. Lastly, she said that tonight was free time. They had group activities scheduled from tomorrow afternoon, a bonfire party in the evening, a mountain tour the day after tomorrow morning, and then they could leave in the afternoon. As they left the dining room, the parents and students started looking for recreational facilities. Fu Ziyang was also pulled away by Wang Xiaobo. Su Wanwan, meanwhile, dashed directly into the shopping mall on the first floor and bought a two-piece swimsuit. Though it wasnt as nice as the previous one, it was better than nothing. Huo Jingshen did not object and watched her gleefully selecting, bargaining with the shopkeeper, much like a cunning fox. It did not matter what she wore, seeing that it would eventually be taken off. * * Upon returning to the hotel, Su Wanwan immediately went to knock on the door next door. After knocking twice, she was held back by Huo Jingshens hand. Dont pull me, hey, I want to hang out with them for a while Before she could finish, their room door was mmed shut. Hence, when Shi Huan opened the door, she found The corridor outside was empty. Was there anyone there? This was frighteningly odd. Luoluo, if someone knocks on the door, you must first ask for their name. If you dont know them, dont open the door, okay? Shi Huan repeatedly instructed. Okay. Little Luoluo obediently nodded in agreement. * * Back in their room, Huo Jingshen bolted the door, To soak in the hot spring with my wife. Hehe. Su Wanwanughed sarcastically. Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek teasingly. Whats wrong, unwilling? She had been busy preparing for the final exams the past week and hadnte home, leaving him to be a monk for a week. Huo Jingshen shook his head. Su Wanwan looked at him puzzlingly. whats been on your mind? Forget it. She should take a soak first. With her newly bought swimsuit in hand, Su Wanwan went into the restroom. Soon after changing, she came out, wrapped in arge bath towel. Huo Jingshen eyed her somewhat unhappily. Were alone, why wrap yourself in a towel? None of your business! Su Wanwan made a dash for the outdoor hot spring pool.?? 5 Su Wanwan halfy on the edge of the hot spring pool, her head propped on a towel. Surrounded by warm water, she feltfortable,pletely satisfied. The hot spring pool was steaming up, the mist creating a dreamlike scene. The water temperature was just perfect. Though it was freezing outside, it was neither too cold nor too hot indoors. There was also a venttion system. With all the sses and the two to three hours of travel, soaking in the hot spring felt exceptionallyfortable. Su Wanwan becamepletely rxed, her body and mind thoroughly at ease, and she soon started to doze off. Chapter 406: 406, Even Thieves Have Friends Chapter 406: Even Thieves Have Friends The next day. The morning activity was indoors. The teacher prepared some light-hearted IQquestions. Su Wanwan wanted Fu Ziyang to participate, but the kid was aloof and simply sat there expressionless. Shi Luoluo, on the other hand, was lively. Maybe it was because she was the ss representative that she felt she had to set an example. The girl was smart and beautiful, answering many questions right in a row, ultimately winning first ce. When the awards were being given out, Su Wanwans phone rang abruptly. Im going to take a call. Huo Jingshen nodded, Dont go too far. The call was from Zhao Qianqian, asking if she wanted to head to the reading room. Upon hearing that Su Wanwan was at Phoenix Mountain soaking in a hot spring, she eximed in surprise, Wow, are you and Mr. Huo having a little couple getaway? You two are so sweet! Su Wanwan coughed twice, and didnt deny it, Enough chit-chat, if theres nothing else, Im hanging up. Okay. When she hung up and was about to walk back, she heard a familiar voiceing from behind. I already told you, I didnt take your stuff! I really didnt take it! Then another even sharper female voice sounded, Oh yeah, you didnt take it, you stole it! Youre a thief! I did not! Still denying it? My ne was clearly found in your bag! Did it just grow legs and walk in by itself? I really didnt take your stuff ying the victim card after stealing and getting caught, huh? Youre as innocent as a white lotus! Right, too bad Xixi isnt here, who are you trying to impress with your acting? A lowlife is always a lowlife. You think you can be a phoenix bytching onto Xixi? You should at least keep your hands clean. Who could let a dirty person like you into their house? Su Wanwan quickly walked over. The indoorndscape near the north entrance on the first floor of the clubhouse had an artificial mountain and a cascading stream, creating a distinctive atmosphere. Bai Ruwei was standing there in a ck one-piece swimsuit, wrapped in a bath towel. Her fair face was streaked with tears, and the fingers clutching her bath towel were constantly trembling. There were also two young girls standing in front of her. Judging from their silhouettes, they both had sensual figures and were wearing bikinis. One of the girls with short hair sneered, This ne was a birthday gift from my grandmother, and you just took it. Nini, the other girl tried to pacify her, Let it go. Bai Ruwei came from the countryside. Were in the same school. Shes so impoverished; she only eats vegetables every meal. Even her tuition is sponsored by the Mo Family. The girl named Nini suddenly became angrier, So being poor gives her the right to steal my ne? She probably wanted to sell your ne for money. Or maybe she thought your ne was pretty and wanted to steal it to please Xixi. After all, she was brought here by Xixi today Those words poured fuel on the fire. Nini walked over, raised her hand, and pped her, How dare you! With your looks, you dream of marrying Xixi? She almost immediately raised her hand again, pping her a second time, Do you even dare to think about entering the gates of the Huo Family? Look at your lowly character! just as she was about tond a third p, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Who are you? She asked angrily. Su Wanwan didnt even acknowledge her. She shook her off and went over to help Bai Ruwei up, Are you okay? Bai Ruweis face was already swollen and red. Hearing Su Wanwans voice, she kept her head down, as if she didnt want Su Wanwan to see her face. Su Wanwan spun around angrily, Two against one, have you no shame! Who are you? Xia Jiani almost fell over. Once she managed to steady herself, she asked angrily. Su Wanwan replied coldly, Im her friend. Friend? Xia Jiani snorted, Even thieves have friends? I am not a thief! Bai Ruwei abruptly lifted her head. Su Wanwan looked at her. She then noticed that Bai Ruwei had put on a bit of makeup, which added to her already elegant beauty. Especially since she had just got pped twice, her cheeks were swollen and red, tears filled her eyes. She was biting her lower lip, her expression showing how wronged she felt, making her look even more pitiful. For some reason, Su Wanwan was reminded of the time at the wedding when Bai Ruwei had been falsely used by Su Yanyan She looked exactly like this then She instantly turned to the two girls, You say she stole something, do you have any evidence? The girl who had been stirring the pot immediately replied, The ne was found in her bag. Thats the evidence! Su Wanwan sneered, If I take the ne and put it in your bag, does it meanthat youre the thief? The girls face changed dramatically, What are you talking about? Su Wanwan retorted, She stole from her friends while out on a trip, and carelessly put it in her bag, and just happened to be found out? Is she that stupid? Xia Jiani frowned. The girl snapped, Nini, dont believe her. Anyone whos friends with a thief cantbeagood person! After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, decked out in high-end brands from head to toe, and sneered mockingly, You have sly and flirtatious eyes, and youre wearing so many designerbels. You must be hanging out with some rich businessman, right? It seems you and Bai Ruwei are really simr. You are both good at seducing men. Maybe youre even a mistress Ah! Before she could finish her words, a p had alreadynded on her face. She was flung back by the force, falling onto the artificial mountain. Chapter 407: 407, Slander viciously Chapter 407: nder viciously Her body cleared the ground andnded on the artificial mountain structure. The pain was intolerable. You dare to hit me, you rude girl? She stared at her reddening arm, all twisted in anger. Su Wanwan smirked, You have a foul mouth. Hitting you might have been lenient, you deserve to be dunked in a hot pot to cleanse your filthy mouth, and then we can talk. The girl couldnt stand such humiliation and lunged at Su Wanwan, teeth bared and ws shing. But before she got close, her wrist was seized and she was flung aside. Ah! This time she fell directly on the ground. The entire floor of the clubhouse was made of chilling cold ceramic tiles. Seeing her knee scraped with an instant wound seeping blood, she was in pain and furious but dared not to retaliate. Who wouldve thought this delicate looking Su Wanwan is so strong? After going down twice, she clearly wasnt her match. Are you okay, Li Yu? Xia Jiani started to shout, You dare to hit my friend? Su Wanwan smirked, Ive already hit her, what do you want to do now? Xia Jiani: Seeing a familiar figure approaching, she immediately threatened, You just wait and see! Then she started calling for someone, Zhexi,e here, Zhexi! Huo Zhexi wasing down the stairs, a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth. There were only two guys at todays gathering but three women were called. Besides Bai Ruwei, the other two were invited by his friends, who bbered something about having a orgy Hearing the call, he walked over. Zhexi, this damn girl just hurt Li Yu. Xia Jiani immediately started toin. Huo Zhexi squinted his eyes, then upon seeing Su Wanwans face, he involuntarily shuddered. Fuck, its Su Wanwan again! Frantically looking around, he noticed no sign of Huo Jingshen. He rxed a bit, then started to shout, You damn girl, how dare you hit my friend! Are you itching for a beating? Su Wanwan gazed at him speechlessly. So he is the one they called Zhexi. Such a detestable nickname. Zhexi, Bai Ruwei also stole my ne. I was simply questioning her here when this brat suddenly charged and attacked us, even hurting Li Yu. Xia Jiani added. Huo Zhexi turned to Bai Ruwei, Why would you steal from others? Havent I told you, if you want anything talk to me about it? How could I, Huo Zhexi, mistreat you? Su Wanwan was stunned. When did they be a couple? Bai Ruweis face turned pale, I didnt steal anything. I have no idea how the ne ended up in my bag. I swear I didnt steal. But Xia Jiani imed firmly, Your bag is where I found my ne. Li Yu can vouch for me. Li Yu, standing by the side, quickly joined in, Zhexi, you have no idea, shes in my school. Her family is incredibly poor and shes always stealing things. Be watchful, dont be fooled by her! Youre ndering me! Bai Ruwei interrupted her, crying, Im indeed poor, but I would never steal. I havent stolen anything, I swear If you didnt steal, then why was the ne in your bag? Exactly, stop the victim act! Zhexi, dont believe her! Shes just trying to get close to you to take advantage of you! Shes stolen a ne today, who knows what shell steal next! You should just dump this kind of woman! Zhexi They started a back-and-forth, upsetting Bai Ruwei who rushed to grab Huo Zhexishand, Zhexi Huo Zhexi violently shook her off, Dont fucking touch me, whore! Bai Ruwei fell to the ground with a thud, it even pained Su Wanwan to hear. She stepped forward. Huo Zhexi, are you a moron? Huo Zhexi snuffed out the cigarette on the ground, Fucking hell, try saying that again? Su Wanwan looked back at him, enunciating each word, Are. You. A. Moron? Bai Ruwei is your girlfriend, you didnt even rify what happened before doubting and denying your own girlfriend, believing others instead? Damn it! Huo Zhexi, with his head of red hair almost bursting with fury, raised a fist threateningly, You really think I wont hit you? Do you believe Ill beat you up right now? Su Wanwan wasn t afraid of him. Just a reckless mothers boy who only knows how to wine and dine. Dealing with him would be easy peasy. However, a familiar cold male voice echoed, Who are you threatening to beat up? As soon as Huo Zhexi heard the voice, he froze. Damn it! This is a nightmare! He had checked earlier, Huo Jing wasnt here! Now hes really done for. That witch would definitely snitch again and frame him. Sure enough, Su Wanwan turned around, her voice dripping with sweetness, Husband. Huo Jingshen had already approached. His features were attractive and eyes deep, his quiet demeanor slightly threatening. He was tall, his aura strong. Despite having a slight resemnce to Huo Zhexi, his mature and stable temperament instantly drew everyones attention. As he reached, Huo Jingshen looked down at Huo Zhexi, What are you doing here? Huo Zhexis rage had all but dissipated. He awkwardlyughed and greeted, Bro, what a coincidence! Youre here too. Huo Jingshen quickly scanned the others present, These are your friends? Xia Jiani and Li Yu instantly tensed up, and Bai Ruwei clutched her towel tighter. Though Huo Jingshens gaze swept very quickly over everyone, it lingered on no one. Huo Zhexi subconsciously nodded. Chapter 408: 408, strongly protecting wife, too cool. Chapter 408: strongly protecting wife, too cool. Huo Zhexi subconsciously nodded. All day long, other than using your parents money for women, can you do anything serious? Hearing this, Huo Zhexi eagerly tried to exin, Brother, youve misunderstood, these two are not mine Want to teach your sister-inw a lesson? Huo Zhexi was immediately tongue-tied, Brother, no I didnt Was I just deaf? No Is this how your parents taught you to treat elders? Huo Jingshen fired question after question. His tone was neither high nor quick, but it was stern and authoritative. Huo Zhexi was almost to tears, damn your elders, wailing and weeping. Xia Jiani and Li Yu on the side were scared out of their wits. What the hell! This spoiled brat, is she really Huo Zhexi s elder? That means She is the wife of Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Huo Family? Apologize to your sister-inw! Huo Jingshen coldly ordered. Huo Zhexi felt that apologizing to a young girl in front of two women was utterly disgraceful, but No choice! Who asked Huo Jingshen to be here? He was a coward indeed. Lowering his head, Huo Zhexi mumbled an apology, trying to gloss over it, Sorry. Speak clearly. At Huo Jingshens words, Su Wanwan could no longer hold back herughter. Sorry, but she couldnt resist, her husband was simply too cool! Huo Zhexi nearly vomited, he had to clearly repeat it, I m sorry! Thought it would end here? Sorry to whom? Huo Jingshens voice was low and calm. Even though there wasnt much anger, it exerted an inexplicable pressure. Huo Zhexi was cornered, he gritted his teeth and finally relented, Sister-in- w, Im sorry, I was wrong! Should be over now, right? Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen would turn to Su Wanwan, Darling, should we forgive him? Huo Zhexi: Good heavens! After he apologized to this extent, there was still the question of whether to forgive him or not? Bully! Su Wanwan deliberately coughed twice, Okay, this is a public ce. There are so many people here. There is a limit to how much an elder should reprimand a junior. Now that the child has realized his mistake, my dear, lets just forgive him. This time, not only did Huo Zhexi: Huo Jingshen also: This girl, give her a bit of color and she really would open a dye shop? Her authoritative stance and her overbearing attitude He liked it. Then, his dark eyes narrowed, and his handsome face turned stern, Zhexi, youll be twenty-four after the New Year, you should know better. ying is fine but know your limits. Dont think that no one would find out because this ce is remote. If one day a video of you and a woman involved in 4P really goes viral on the inte, how am I, your older brother, supposed to face people? Huo Zhexi was ying innocent, listening attentively, when suddenly he felt something was off. 4- 4P? Wait a moment! He quickly raised his head, Brother, youve misunderstood. I havent had 4 Thats enough. Huo Jingshen interrupted him impatiently, Your sister-in-w and I have something to do. When we return to Nancheng, Ill discuss this with your parents in detail. Having said that, he left with Su Wanwan. Huo Zhexi stood there in a cold breeze, feeling chilled to the bone. Talking to his parents in detail? Its over, he was really screwed now Zhexi. Only then did Xia Jiani dare to approach, Is that brat really your sister-inw? Li Yu also asked, Is it fake? Shes so young. Isnt she just a mistress your brother keeps outside Mistress your ass! Huo Zhexi whirled around, You, go away! Li Yu was taken aback. Huo Zhexi pointed at Xia Jiani, And you! Leave too! Xia Jianis face darkened. Finally, Huo Zhexi pointed at Bai Ruwei, Everyone, get the hell out! Go away! Having said that, he turned and stormed off first. The two women nced at each other, no longer in the mood to care about Bai Ruwei, and walked off huffily. Bai Ruwei bit her lip and quickly followed in the direction Huo Zhexi had gone. * * On the other hand, just as they entered the room, Su Wanwans voice sounded, 4P? You actually know about 4P? Huo Jingshen stopped, looking at Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan was also looking at him, her clear and beautiful eyes staring straight, How did it feel just now? What felt how? Those two women, theyre wearing bikinis. Do they have good figures? Su Wanwan tried to coax him. Huo Jingshens lips curved slightly, and he replied smoothly, Not as good as my darlings. Su Wanwan continued to gaze at him, unable to hold back a smile at the corners of her mouth as she was about to speak again Little Auntie! Fu Ziyang ran over from behind, his usually calm face revealing a rare anxious expression, Where did you run off to? The prizes are almost out. What do you mean the prizes are almost out? Su Wanwan asked in confusion as he pulled her inside. A mother was singing childrens songs with her son on the stage. Huo Jingshen muttered, He wants to go on stage and perform. Hes after the couples pencil box. What couples pencil box? Huo Jingshen, seemingly helpless, he gestured for her to look. Su Wanwan looked over to see Shi Luoluo behaving and sitting on the sofa, with a pink sheep pencil box in her hand. Looking at the stage, there were several prizes next to the teacher on the sofa, but only one pencil box was left C a blue one, of a male sheep. Su Wanwan immediately realized that Fu Ziyang wanted to get a matching prize to his little girlfriends, and there was only one left. She quickly asked, Why dont you apany him to perform? Huo Jingshen replied without changing his expression, I cant. Su Wanwan: Arent you very good at singing? Like that time at the club, huh? Huo Jingshen gave her a sarcastic look. Su Wanwan once again: It was just singing a few songs with Nangong Ci, was it necessary to remember it till now? Are there any more kids who want to perform? Fu Ziyang raised his little hand. The teacher immediately said with a smile, Now, lets wee Fu Ziyang and his little auntie. Su Wanwan felt uneasy. Just as she was about to take the stage with the little fellow, she couldnt help but ask him, Ziyang, what are we performing? Singing? She assumed the little fellow was so enthusiastic, he must have been prepared, right? Who would have guessed Dont know. Su Wanwan was surprised, Dont know? Fu Ziyang calmly took the microphone and thrust it in her hand, You sing, Ill just pretend. Su Wanwan once again: These two nephews are enough, are they ying with her? In the end, Su Wanwan was alone on the stage like a fool, singing and dancing. Finally, the teacher spoke, The performance was great, Fu Ziyang, what prize do you want? Fu Ziyang immediately pointed without dignity at the blue pencil box. On the way to the restaurant. Shi Luoluo was thrilled to be walking with Fu Ziyang, clutching her pink pencil box, Fu Ziyang, are you going to use this pencil box in the future? Fu Ziyang held his little face with great earnestness, Will you use it? Shi Luoluo nodded, Yes. Fu Ziyang also nodded, Since youre using it, I guess I can use it too. Shi Huan: Su Wanwan: Whose genes did such a small child inherit to have such a cold-hearted and scheming personality? * * After lunch, the teacher arranged some indoor group activities. As there were no longer any couple prizes, Fu Ziyang resumed his usual aloof demeanor. Halfway through the activities, Shi Luoluo became sleepy, and Shi Huan took her back to their room to rest. Huo Jingshen was also quickly called away by a phone call. At seven oclock tonight, we will have a bonfire party on the back mountain, everyone remember to dress warmly After the activities, Su Wanwan sent Fu Ziyang back to his room, then took the elevator upstairs. When she arrived at the door of her room, she suddenly turned and walked to the door next door. Who is it? Hearing Shi Luoluos cautious voice, Su Wanwan said, Its me. Shi Luoluo immediately opened the door. The little girl was wearing a cute pink one-piece swimsuit and her hair was tied in two small buns, looking incredibly adorable. Wheres your older sister? Huanhuan is enjoying a hot spring, Shi Luoluo closed the door, unthinkingly leading Su Wanwan inside. Shi Huan had already been soaking for nearly half an hour, feeling a bit hazy as she rose to leave the hot spring. She was wearing a phong-quang bikini, her shoulder-length hair was tied in a bun, revealing a slightly flushed face. Suddenly, someone called out to her. Secretary Shi! She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes dazed, full of moisture A click sounded. Awakening Shi Huan from her haze. When she saw it was Su Wanwan standing in front of her, she rxed slightly, still surprised, Mrs. Huo, you Su Wanwan grinned, Ill send you the photo. Oh. Shi Huan wanted to say she didnt really need it. She didnt like taking photos, let alone photos in a swimsuit But since it was Mrs. Huo, and besides she was a female too, she didnt think much about it. Chapter 409: 409, why is my sister-in-law so cute? Chapter 409: why is my sister-inw so cute? But after all, Su Wenwen was Mrs. Huo, a girl, so she didnt think much about it. They had exchanged phone numbers a long time ago, but had not added each other on Wechat. So Su Wanwan asked her, Is your Wechat linked to your phone number? Yes. said Shi Huan, as she went to the side, first wrapping herself in a bath towel and then picking up a pair of ck framed sses to put on. You dont seem to be shortsighted, why do you wear sses? They were very conservative and unattractive ck-framed sses. They almost covered her whole face. Shi Huan said, Im used to it. Su Wanwan sent a friend request on Wechat, then began to look at the photos she had just taken. Unexpectedly, Secretary Shi who was usually dressed so conservatively, had such a great figure. Although she was only 1.65 meters tall and was not the tall type of girl, she had delicate bones, good body proportions and most importantly, she was well- endowed! It looked like she had a C-cup, right? She usually wore such old-fashioned ck suits, what a waste! And looking at her face Su Wenwen suddenly turned to Shi Luoluo, I discovered you and Luoluo look a lot alike. You couldnt tell usually, but once her sses were off, her face looked like a replica of little Luoluos Especially those eyes, round apricot eyes, clear and bright, giving off an irresistible charm. Before Shi Huan could respond, Little Luoluo chimed in softly, Thats because Huanhuan is my sister. Su Wanwanughed and nodded. Of course. It was normal for sisters to resemble each other. At this moment, there was a pink avatar frame, Su Wenwen immediately sent the picture to it. Two secondster, she suddenly realized that she may have sent it to the wrong person. Looking closely. No way! She actually sent the picture to Nangong Ci. When did this guy change his avatar and username, whats with The Southern Wind understands me? Damn it. Su Wenwen was flustered and immediately withdrew the picture. Almost at the same time. Nangong Ci: [?] Su Wanwan hurriedly replied, [Sorry, I made a mistake and sent someone elses picture to you.] Nangong Ci: [I thought my sister-inw was sending her own pictures, what a disappointment.] Seeing this, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Nangong Ci didnt see it. Stealing a nce at Shi Huan, Su Wenwen cleared her throat and quickly sent the picture to her Wechat. Secretary Shi was so conservative in front of others, even though this swimsuit picture wasnt revealing, it wouldnt be good if a man saw it. Luckily she withdrew it quickly. ** Nangong Hospital. Nangong Ciy on the sofa in his office, looking at the photo he had secretly saved, his peach-blossom eyes almost squinting into a line withughter. How cute is this sister-inw? She identally sent the wrong picture. Luckily he was quick, the first thing he did when he saw the picture was to hit save, ha ha ha. After thinking for a bit, he got up and left the room. ** Ten minutester, Nangong Ci arrived at the VIP room on the top floor of the hospitalization department. He pushed the door and found it was locked. He immediately shouted, Second brother youre not calling a prostitute, are you? Hurry up and open the door! The door opened. Seeing that it was Lu Chenyu who opened the door Nangong Ci immediately started shouting again, So it is true that you called a prostitute! Pushing the door open, a strong smell came over. The coffee table in the room was filled with all kinds of vegetables for hotpot, and an induction cooker was in the middle bubbling away. Chu Xiuhuang, in his hospital gown, was sitting on the sofa with his long legs folded, holding a ss of red wine. Nangong Ci stood there, with the corner of his mouth twitching in annoyance. This person How arrogant while hospitalized. What has he turned this hospital into? Is this eptable? However, as soon as Chu Xiuhuang spoke, Close the door. Nangong Ci immediately closed the door and walked over, Second brother, are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol? Chu Xiuhuang took a sip of his red wine, Celebrating. Oh right, today is Christmas Eve. Nangong Ci smiled maliciously, Are you missing Secretary Shi? I have her picture, do you want to see it? Chu Xiuhuang squinted at him, as if disbelieving. Nangong Ciughed, Just say if you want to see it or not? Beg me, and Ill show you. Assuming that Chu Xiuhuang would definitely want to see, who knew Im not looking. Nangong Ci: He thought that elder brother was suddenly interested in this personal secretary, otherwise why would he have here to the ward every day to take care of him, but now why Seeing that Chu Xiuhuang seemed really not interested in seeing, Nangong Ci took out his mobile phone, You dont want to see? I insist you must see. Chu Xiuhuang curled his thin lips, raised his ss, and clinked it with Lu Chenyu. To deal with a jerk, you have to fight fire with fire. As expected, the mobile phone rang soon. Chu Xiuhuang took a sip of red wine, picking up his own mobile phone. When he slid open the screen to see that wet swimsuit photo. Puff?? The red wine in his mouth sprayed out. It sprayed all over Lu Chenyus face and body across from him. Shit, second brother, you dont have to be so excited. Look, you sprayed all over fourth brother. Nangong Ci immediately pulled out a tissue and handed it over. The wet Lu Chenyu silently took the tissue, quietly wiped the wine stains off his face, then silently got up and put on his jacket. Well, fourth brother, dont leave. Second brother, youve upset the fourth brother, second brother Lu Chenyu simply just like that, left. Nangong Ci was rather speechless. Much for the friend of many years, cold-hearted man The next second. Who sent you this photo? Chu Xiuhuang asked ominously. Nangong Ci honestly answered, Your sister-inw. Well, its not a man. Chu Xiuhuang exhaled in relief, Delete the photo. Why should I? Nangong Ci immediately protested. Chu Xiuhuang slightly narrowed his eyes, Wont delete? I wont, I wont delete even if Im beaten to death! Nangong Ci bravely held on, Whats wrong with taking a look when Im free, I didnt expect secretary Shis figure to be so good,pact and delicate, curvaceous in just the right areasah! Nangong Ci s arm was twisted a full 180 degrees in an instant. Delete or not? If not Chu Xiuhuangughed without showing his teeth, Dont even think about stepping on the operating table for the next month. Delete delete delete, Ill delete it right away, second brother, let go, it hurts so bad shit Nangong Ci was in such pain that he was sweating cold bullets. He was about to disable him! Is a photo worth it? Chu Xiuhuang finally let go, bluntly in two words, Delete quickly. Nangong Ci reluctantly picked up the mobile phone, found the photo clicked delete, Im done. Delete even in the already-deleted folder. Nangong Ci: Damn it. He could only go into the already-deleted and delete again. In the end, Chu Xiuhuang checked again before returning the phone to him, Forget what you just saw. Then, you can get lost. Nangong Ci looked at the food still being cooked at the table, Second brother, the fourth brother is gone, why dont I have a few drinks with you. Get lost! Nangong Ci turned around and left, Alright alright alright, Im leaving now. Motherfucker. Here he invited himself to givemendation for his good deed, howe he ended up being beaten and sworn at? Nangong Ci touched his own throbbing arm, and left in pain. Chu Xiuhuang closed the door, came to the bed and sat down, slightly leaning his body, then putting both of his long legs on the bed. Large hand holding the mobile phone, clicked open the photo, then magnified the screen with his long fingers, erged, and erged again. Tsk tsk. So, it wasnt a bikini, it was a ck one-piece swimsuit, quite conservative, but ail of her arms and legs were exposed. The limbs were slender, graceful and neat, highlighted by the ck swimsuit, making her skin look like jade. The typical long ck hair was also tied into a bun, revealing her entire small face clearly. Compared to the glimpse when she had taken off her sses, this look was clearer, but for some reason, there was a slight blush on her face Looking at the structures in the photo, seemed like it was a hotel suite, with vague white mist in the background. Could this be at a Hot spring? Must be! So, she went to a hot spring with Su Wenwen, there are no bikinis, and no men. Chu Xiuhuang was inexplicably delighted by his discovery. He traced his finger along her face on the screen again. Looking at Shi Huan in that camera shot, her eyes were clear, yet they also appeared drowsy and surprised, with their slightly drooping corners, they looked wet and deste, like those of a newborn puppys, which appeared pitifully adorable. Yet those eyes also revealed a sense of shyness and bewilderment, wet and confused. Complimented by the surrounding hazy steam, her entire body appeared rosy and tender. What the heck! Chu Xiuhuangs eyes narrowed, suddenly bingplex and unreadable. Whats going on? Chapter 410: 410, Merry Christmas! Chapter 410: Merry Christmas! The first time was when he saw her mouth. The second time was when he saw her legs. The third time was in the officest time. Today, it was even more absurd Three times and youre out, but this was already the fourth time recently. Too close together! And too strange! Because all four times happened with the same woman. This had never happened before. Although he always prided himself on being flirtatious, Chu Xiuhuang admitted that he had never felt this way about any woman before. He looked at the photo, his eyebrows furrowed. He wanted to regain control of his mind, but he found he couldn t. * While someone was questioning himself in the hospital, the bonfire party at the Phoenix Mountain Hot Springs was also beginning. Because it was outdoors, and the clubs halfway up a hill, there were no buildings to block the wind. The cold wind blew, making the air freezing. Not even the children and their parents, fully bundled up against the harsh cold, could ward it off. Su Wanwan was also dressed in a thick down jacket, wearing a woolen hat and scarf. Only her eyes and nose were exposed, but It was really so damn cold! Within a short while, she felt her face was about to freeze solid. If it werent for apanying Ziyang to watch his little girlfriend s performance, she really wanted to run back to the room, soak in the warm bath, and watch a wonderful American action movie! Su Wanwan withdrew her hands into her down jacket sleeves and stuffed them into her pockets. She looked like a bear, but she was still shivering. In contrast, Huo Jingshen, wearing only a long ck coat, stood straight in the cold wind, rxed as if he wasnt cold at all. Su Wanwan nced at him. nced at him. After a while, she looked at him again. Finally, Huo Jingshen turned his head and looked at her, Whats wrong? Su Wanwan asked, Arent you cold? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, then stretched out his hand to start undoing the buttons of his coat. Su Wanwan was even more admiring. Holy moly! Not only was he not cold, but he was also unbuttoning his coat. She considered herself to have a good physique, but she didnt expect The next second, Huo Jingshen opened his coat and pulled her into his arms, wrapping herpletely in his warmth. Su Wanwan: As her head rested on his warm chest, she could hear his steady heartbeat and his deep mature voice, Is it warmer now? Su Wanwan nodded with a smile. The bonfire in the distance had already been lit, and the Christmas tree next to it began to shimmer and twinkle under the light. Amid the flickering lights, she couldnt help but looked up. The mans face changed between light and shadow in the flickering light, and because he was so tall, she had to lift her chin very high to clearly see his deep and three-dimensional eyes. Merry, Christmas! someone suddenly shouted. In the dark night sky, colorful fireworks suddenly exploded, one burst following another, crackling with a variety of colors, as if cracking in the bottom of her heart. A stir in Su Wanwan s heart. Huo Jingshens handsome brow also furrowed instantly. Squinting again, he saw that Su Wanwan had buried her face back into his chest. Not far away, a white figure silently stood, watching the scene for a long time before finally turning and leaving. * * An hourter, due to the extreme cold and concerns about the little one catching a cold, the gift distribution ended, and the bonfire party was wrapped up ahead of schedule. Just as Su Wanwan was following the crowd into the club, someone suddenly tugged at her arm. She turned around and was surprised to see Bai Ruwei. Bai was in a white down jacket with long hair draping over her shoulders. She wore no makeup, looking pure and beautiful. Wanwan, can I talk to you for a moment? Bai Ruwei asked, then turned to Huo Jingshen standing next to her, Mr. Huo, I only need to talk with Wanwan for five minutes, is that okay? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. The two found a corner to sit down in the sofa area on the first floor. What do you want to talk about? Wanwan, I really didnt steal anything, Bai Ruwei said earnestly. I believe you. Do you really believe me? Bai Ruweis eyes welled up with tears, Wanwan, youre the only one who believes me. But I swear to you, I didnt steal anything. I didnt. With that, she started to cry again. Su Wanwan said honestly, Maybe its just an intuition, but I believe you didnt steal anything. People who steal, like the maid Jiang that Mo Weiyi had previously, usually have a mentality of seeking petty gain. They are not like Bai Ruwei, who works hard every day to earn her living expenses. Moreover, she had heard from two girls before that they all came together. If so, who would be stupid enough to steal from theirpanions and ce it in their own bag? Actually, they just wanted to frame me, make Zhexi dislike me and break up with me because Xia Jiani has always liked Zhexi. Are you really with Zhexi? Bai Ruwei nodded, I met Zhexi while working at the club. I identally spilled a drink on him. Any other man would have pped me without a second thought, but he didnt. Later, every time he came, he would ask me to apany him for drinks. Only after we got together did I realize he was Mr. Huos younger brother. After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, Wanwan, youre not angry with me, are you? What do you mean? Bai Ruwei bit her lip, I never intended topete with you for anything. I had no idea that Zhexi was the third son of the Huo family. I just simply liked him. I didnt mean to hide anything from you What exactly do you like about him? Su Wanwan blurted out. She didnt think Huo Zhexi was a decent man at all. With an outstanding elder brother like Huo Jingshen, and an honest and upright soldier brother like Huo Nuanyang, she found it strange how the Huo family could produce such an irresponsible third son. Very soon he would be twenty-four but he still wasted his days away. He used to be good friends with Xing Yuyun, and they even shared a woman. Moreover, it was obvious from what happened at noon today, Huo Zhexi didnt really care about Bai Ruwei. Perhaps he just saw her as an optionalpanion. Of course, these thoughts were kept to herself. Bai Ruwei said, Theres no reason for love. Once you fall in love, you just do, I cant control my feelings. Alright then. Su Wanwan truly didnt know what to say anymore. Wanwan. Bai Ruwei spoke again, So, can you help me? Help you with what? Zhexi went home this afternoon, and no matter how I exin, he wont listen. Can you help me exin to him? I truly didnt take Xia Jianis ne. I havent even seen the ne, and I went to the restroom at that time. When I came back, they imed to have found the ne in my bag. It was clearly a deliberate setup to frame me! Have you told Zhexi these things? He doesnt believe me. Su Wanwan helplessly said, I cant meddle in your rtionship matters. Plus, Zhexi doesnt really like me. She and Huo Zhexi never got along. Besides, misappropriating a ne is a couples issue, why should an outsider get involved? And she wasnt even there. Su Wanwan understood Bai Ruweis predicament but persuading others to believe by word of mouth alone seemed a bit forced, given she was just an outsider. Alright. Bai Ruwei gave a bitter smile. Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave, Bai Ruweis voice rang out again, Ill never forget what happened today, those two set me up for theft and intentionally embarrassed me. I wont let them off! Su Wanwan was startled. What are you going to do? Bai Ruwei nced around then whispered, That Li Yu, shes a student from our schools Chinese department. She often messes around with men outside, especially at the club where I work. Ive seen her messing around with men in the bathroom. As long as I catch her red-handed next time, I canpletely ruin her reputation! As for that Xia Jiani, Li Yu is particrly nice to her. I heard her father is a high-ranking military officer, and both her grandparents are influential figures. For such families, the thing they fear most is scandal. As long as I Chapter 411: 411, cherish Mr. Huo well. Chapter 411: cherish Mr. Huo well.
    Dont act rashly, SuWanwan abruptly interrupted her, you should be careful not to court trouble. Bai Ruwei smiled, Wanwan, ever since I came to Nancheng, youre the only one who hasnt looked down on me, hasnt hit me, or cursed at me. On the contrary, youve cared for me, helped me, and even saved me several times. Im really grateful to you. Yes, Im a country girl and my familys situation is very poor, but I relied on my own efforts to get admitted into Nancheng University. My tuition fees have all been earned penny by penny by working part-time. Are country people not human?
    Since were human, we should be equals. On what basis do they look down on me? Were their ancestors born nobles? Were they all rich? I work so hard every day, I clean myself meticulously, but they still iste me, think Im dirty, think Im smelly, think I have lice She took a deep breath, So, I must strive harder to make my life better. They may look down on me today, but one day, I want them to see me in a new light! Just like you. Bai Ruwei looked at Su Wanwan, Huo Jingshen treats you very well, you two are so lucky. I was there when you epted Huo Jingshens proposal at the Su family. Changing ones destiny can be that simple, you can do it, I believe I can too. SuWanwan, Cherish Huo Jingshen, Wanwan, he is truly a rare good man. After saying this, Bai Ruwei left with a smile. *
    * The next morning, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen drove back to Nancheng. Throughout the morning, Su Wanwan had been lethargic in the backseat. Fu Ziyang furrowed his small eyebrows, Is Auntie this tired? Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, Your Auntie was exhaustedst night, Ziyang, reduce the volume on your phone, dont disturb Aunties sleep. Okay. Fu Ziyang obediently nodded, turning the volume on his phone to the lowest. But now he couldnt send voice messages to Shi Luoluo * * In another car, Shi Huan couldnt help but yawn. Why isnt Fu Ziyang replying to the messages? Shi Huan spoke, Luoluo, no ying with the phone in the car.
    Okay then. Shi Luoluo had no choice but to put her phone away, Huanhuan, what are we going to eat for lunch? Is this child thinking about what to eat for lunch just after breakfast? Just as expected I want to eat Huanhuans curry chicken. Shi Huan smiled, Then well go to the supermarket togetherter. He initially thought they would only return to Nancheng tonight and had applied for a three-day leave from Chu Shao. This was perfect, a brief respite allowing him to make her favorite dish. Thats great. Shi Luoluo pped her little hands. Huanhuan is the best cook, but hes always too busy to prepare meals for her. * * When they returned to the city, Little Luoluo was propped up against the window when she suddenly pointed out, Huanhuan, Princess Sti! The most recent hit Disney animation from America, featuring Shi Luoluos favorite female character.
    Shi Huan took a nce and swiftly turned the car around. Huanhuan, are we going to the supermarket? There was a supermarket on the ground floor of the mall. Mhm, can we also buy you Princess Sti? Really? Shi Luoluo wanted it too but felt embarrassed to ask; after all, these things cost money. Though a child, she knew it was inappropriate to always ask others for things. But, Huanhuan always took the initiative to buy things for her The two entered the crowd-filled mall since it was the weekend. Shi Huan thought that the toy would be on the first floor in the childrens toys section, but he couldnt find it anywhere. So, he headed downstairs with Shi Luoluo. While wandering around aimlessly Secretary Shi?
    Shi Huan turned around to look and nodded with a smile, Lawyer Lu. Lu Chenyu looked at him, then at Shi Luoluo, and with a stoic face, said nothing. Shi Luoluo tilted her little face, looking into his eyes. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds The atmosphere was strangely silent. In the end, it was Shi Huan who spoke, Lawyer Lu, well be going first. He just turned to leave with Shi Luoluo when Stop! Shi Huan was startled, Lawyer Lu, is there anything else? Lu Chenyu looked at her expressionlessly, his lips parting, Your shoe.
    Huh? Lu Chenyus gaze lowered. Shi Huan quickly did the same and found that her shoce was untied. Awkward. Thank you. Without uttering a word, Lu Chenyu left with an expressionless face. Shi Huan: Only a man like Lawyer Lu woulde shopping alone at a mall. After quickly tying her shoces, Shi Huan asked a service representative and finally managed to buy the doll she wanted. While they were at it, they decided to go to the supermarket on the ground floor to buy groceries. Little did they expect to bump into Lu Chenyu in the fresh produce section of the first floor. He was pushing a cart filled with various ingredients, looking very much like the ideal domestic man. Shi Huan nodded at him and began selecting chicken. Little Luoluo chattered at his side, Curry, Huanhuan, remember to buy curry. Okay. Chapter 412: 412, times table up to nine. Arriving home and finding Little Luoluo absorbed in y in the living room, Shi Huan started preparing dinner, making a curry chicken dish. In the past few years, she had been living alone. Over time, her cooking skills improved, even though she had few chances to put them to use due to a busy work schedule. Now that Little Luoluo was staying with her, she had to hire a cook to prepare nutritious meals. Huanhuan, you have a phone call. Little Luoluo ran in, waving the smartphone. Shi Huan picked it up and froze. She really didnt want to answer! The phone was ringing persistently. Little Luoluo asked curiously, Huanhuan, why arent you answering the call? Shi Huan drew a deep breath and answered, Hello?
    Come take care of me at the hospital this afternoon. Shi Huan bit her lip, Mr. Chu, I Dont lie to me, I know youre back in Nancheng. While your boss is in the hospital hungry, you went shopping and to the supermarket. Do you think thats right? Shi Huan: This Lu Chenyu! Usually quiet, but not shy at all to talk to Mr. Chu, even tattling on her? They really must be close friends. Hurry up ande here, and bring me something to eat while you are at it. Shi Huan nced at the time, Mr. Chu, its already half past twelve. Buying a meal, waiting for it, and then rushing to the hospital, it might be close to two oclock. Would the princes stomach be able to bear it? But Chu Xiuhuang seemed to ignore her words, By the way, I want curry chicken rice. With that, the call was disconnected. Shi Huan: ** Hospital room. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his phoenix eyes, nning his next moves.
    After contemting all night, he wondered why he was suddenly so interested in his secretary. After all, he had known Shi Huan for seven years and they had been working together for more than five. Since day one, Shi Huan had been a silent presence, and he had never paid much attention to her. Recently, just thinking about her brought up vivid images.
    Chu Xiuhuang had been uninterested in romantic entanglements for years, butst night, for some reason, he felt like he was possessed and couldnt control himself. Eventually. He made a decision. If he felt this way about her, he should make his move. Chu Xiuhuang was not the type of man to overthink. After this pleasant decision, he felt instantly refreshed. It had been so long since he had pursued a girl Thest time was probably when he was courting the little princess of the Mo family. Shi Huan should be easier to win over than that little princess, right? Over these many years, he had never seen Shi Huan with any other man. The longest amount of time she had spent with anyone was with him. Why is a woman so devoted to a man? Chu Xiuhuang narcissistically believed it was because she had feelings for him. What other reason could there be?
    Moreover, the photo essentially ruled out the possibility that she was seeing someone else. After breaking down his thoughts, he felt a sense of warmth, even the outside sunlight seemed inviting. Lying in his hospital bed, he leisurely waited for his precious little rabbit to Until the door was suddenly knocked on. Looking at the time, it was only one oclock. Secretary Shi arrived so quickly? What a two-faced little thing, she cared about him but pretended not to, fussing about for so long. With a mock bragging smile, Chu Xiuhuang sat up on his bed, crossing his arms and said, Come in. He assumed the person entering would be Shi Huan with a lunch box, but instead. What are you doing here? Chu Xiuhuangs face darkened instantly.
    Mr. Chu. Shen Bingbing, clutching a coat in one hand and a thermal lunch box in the other, walked in cheerfully. You havent had lunch yet, right? I made some Get out! Mr. Chu? Shen Bingbing was surprised that Chu Xiuhuang would tell her to leave? He had always called her Miss Shen in a gentle and courteous manner. Maybe hes in a bad mood? Perhaps. Im currently in the hospital with no one visiting. Lying here all alone, whose mood could be good? Shen Bingbing reassured herself and promptly put on a smiling face again, Mr. Chu, this is the chicken soup I stewed, the chicken is Get lost! Who cares about your chicken! Chu Xiuhuang impatiently pressed the call bell, You have five seconds to leave my patient room! Mr Chu Shen Bingbing softened her voice, I understand that Secretary Shi was absent these few days, and no one has been looking after you, how lonely. Im not really busy at thepany these days, may Ie look after you? As she was speaking, she put down her coat, opened the lunchbox, and served a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup. Chu Xiuhuang squinted his phoenix eyes, remaining silent. Shen Bingbing, holding the chicken soup, sashayed her way to the bedside.
    Up close, Mr. Chu really was handsome. Even in illness, there was no trace of frailty about him. No wonder they say a naturally blessed appearance makes all clothes look good. Shen Bingbing had a thought and scooped up a spoonful of soup to offer it to him. Approaching his sensuously handsome lips, she softly said, Mr. Chu, let me feed youAh! Chu Xiuhuang suddenly raised his hand, pushing her hand away, causing the spoonful and subsequently the entire bowl of soup she was holding in her left hand to spill all over her. She was wearing a white base sweater today which was not thick. The soup instantly seeped through the material, scalding her skin beneath. The painful burn made her white sweater stick to her body, sodden and messy. Just then, a nurse arrived, rushing in upon hearing the scream, What happened? Oh my God, Miss you She thought it was an idental burn, but Throw this female hooligan out! The female hooligan, Shen Bingbing, wore a strained expression. She wasnt even willing to wipe up the mess, leaving behind the thermal lunch box. She picked up her coat, ready to leave immediately. She hurriedly arrived at the elevator. The door opened, only for her to see Shi Huan inside. She immediately spotted the mess on Shen Bingbings chest, frowning, Director Shen, why are you here? What happened? Shen Bingbing quickly covered her chest with her coat, Its okay, Secretary Shi, I have to leave now. Oh. Shi Huan wore a baffled expression. When she arrived at Chu Xiuhuangs patients room and saw the nurse cleaning the floor, spotting soup and water everywhere, and an opened thermal lunchbox nearby Shi Huan inquired, Mr. Chu, did Director Shene here? She Why are you only here now? Chu Xiuhuang angrily interjected. Shi Huan was stunned, What happened? Your handsome boss was almost taken advantage of by that indecent woman! The cleaning nurse stifled augh. Chu Xiuhuang gave her a cold nce, and she immediately lowered her head, continuing her work nervously. It was the first time she saw a grown man iming to have been taken advantage of by a woman Shi Huan was equally astonished, You mean to say Director Shen was trying to take advantage of you? Chu Xiuhuang kept a poker face. He gave a tacit agreement. Come on, Shi Huan forced augh, Mr. Chu, youre a man, plus youve practiced Sanda and Taekwondo. How could she possibly I am currently a patient, weak and unable to resist. If not for the nurse who came in promptly, I fear The nurse: Could he be any more dramatic? Shi Huan was filled with shock. Was it true? Was Shen Bingbing really that desperate? But it seemed like it was her who was sshed with the soup Therefore, you must protect me from now on! Stay by my side at all times, until Im discharged! Shi Huan opened his mouth, oh. When the nurse finished cleaning up and left, Chu Xiuhuang nced at the bag in her hand, Wheres my curry chicken? Shi Huan immediately opened the bag. When he saw that it was a takeout box, Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened again. Takeout? Mr. Chu, dont you love this restaurants takeout? The young master Chu was very picky about food; it had to be clean, he paid attention to packaging and taste. Over these five years, he had pretty much eaten at all the restaurants in Nancheng. However, he eventually settled on a few, with Shi Huan rotating among them to order his meals. Chu Xiuhuang replied tersely, Did I ask you to buy their takeout? You said you wanted to eat curry chicken, and only this restaurant has it. Shi Huan took out the food box, This restaurants curry chicken should be pretty good. While waiting for the order, I checked out the reviews on Dianping; there were lots of good reviews Werent you preparing curry chicken at home? Chu Xiuhuang suddenly interrupted her. Shi Huan was taken aback, How did you know? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his elongated phoenix eyes and fell silent. But even without saying anything, Shi Huan knew. It must have been Lu Chenyu who snitched. Once again inwardly cursing that poker-faced guy, Shi Huan said, I did prepare it, but my younger sister ate it all Is your sister a pig? She eats so much! Chu Xiuhuang blurted out. Damn, was he short of just one meal? Could she eat any more? Shi Huans face turned serious immediately, Mr. Chu, when you speak about five-year-old child in that way, Im very upset. Chapter 413: 4B, tripping over Chu Xiuhuang snorted, Im not fucking happy either. Shi Huan dropped her chopsticks, Eat it if you want! With that, she stomped into the bathroom, mming the door behind her. At the loud tter, Chu Xiuhuang shuddered involuntarily. What the hell. This secretary, seriously Acting all fiery, huh? nning to trip me up again? Just you wait! Feeling undeservedly bitter, Chu Xiuhuang began to nosh a piece of chicken in his lunchbox.
    One day, I will drive you to a dead end, wishing to live yet unable to, and yearning for death yet unable to die! * * Shi Huan had been feeling a dull ache in her lower abdomen on her way to the hospital, and sure enough, upon checking the restroom Her period had started. Even more awkwardly, she had stained her pants a little. When she exited the restroom, Chu Xiuhuang was eating his meal. A hypocritical pig! First, heined about the food she bought, now he was enjoying it so much. Mentally grumbling about someone, Shi Huan was about to leave Stop! Shi Huan turned around. Did I ask you to leave? Chu Xiuhuang squinted at her, a dangerously look on his face. She had really crossed the line. He had put up with her provoking him just now, but now she was leaving him alone? Mr. Chu, youve misunderstood. Im just going downstairs to fetch something real quick. Ill be back soon. Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang was inexplicably relieved, Okay, but remember to grab some cigarettes for me. Mr. Chu, youre a patient. Cut the crap. Just buy what I ask you to.1 Shi Huan looked at him, Mr. Chu, are you really hurt?
    Chu Xiuhuang tossed his lunchbox aside, Dont you know fucking well whether Im hurt and how I got hurt? Shi Huan twitched a corner of her mouth, Mr. Chu, Ive never seen a patient like you who smokes and drinks. She had already seen the several bottles of red and white wine in the bedside cab when she entered the ward today. And even worse, they had all been opened already.
    Chu Xiuhuang subconsciously nced at the cab. Damn! He hadnt finished the wine yesterday and the nurse had casually cleared it away. He hadnt noticed, and now he was busted. Clearing his throat twice, he casually said, That wine was drunk by Lu Chenyu. It was Christmas Evest night, he brought all this wine here, I havent had a single sip. Back home, Lu Chenyu, who was wearing an apron decorating a cake, suddenly Ah-choo! With a slip of his hand, the cream flower he was about to squeeze onto the cake turned into a poo. Back in the ward, Shi Huan lifted her eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing him, Really? Chu Xiuhuang suddenly became impatient, Why are you talking so much now? Every time I ask you to do something, I say one thing, and you retort with three. Are you the leader? Or am I the leader? Im just concerned about your well-being, Mr. Chu. Shi Huan spoke lightly. After all, the quicker you recover, the sooner I can get out of this deal. However, Chu Xiuhuangs face suddenly brightened, Since you care so much about my health, fine, I wont ask you to buy it. I quit smoking. Shi Huan:
    Is he agreeing just like that? Actually, as long as theres a woman looking after me, I can behave very well. Chu Xiuhuang hinted subtly. Shi Huan swiftly turned around, Im heading downstairs. Go ahead. Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Xiuhuang felt delighted. Turns out little Huanhuan cares so much about my health! Hmm, I will listen to her from now on, no more smoking. Swinging his legs a little, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. So when Shi Huan came back after buying her sanitary pads, she saw Nangong Chu preparing to do a check-up in the ward. Shi Huan didnt pay much attention at first, just going to the restroom with her bag in hand. However, she heard Nangong Chu say, Secretary Shi? Shi Huan quickly turned around, Whats wrong? Nangong Chu said serious. Could you please help me unbuckle Chus trousers? What? I need to do a check-up for him now, and I need you to assist me.
    Shi Huan thought this was absurd, Isnt there a nurse? Nangong Chu put on a mask, then the gloves, his expression unchanging, Brother Chu said hes shy, and hes embarrassed to be seen by a nurse. Shi Huan: She wrung her fingers, Would a male nurse suffice? The urology department only has one male nurse, and today hes on leave, not in the hospital. Then find a male doctor? Why does it have to be a male doctor? I I would feel ufortable. Is she supposed to undress Chu Xiuhuang? No matter how she considered it, it just didnt seem right. Secretary Shi. Chu Xiuhuangs voice resonated ominously. Just how much do you dislike me, hmm? Mr. Chu, youre misunderstanding. Shi Huan adjusted her sses. I just feel that, as a subordinate, its not appropriate for me to see my supenorsnaked glory- Nangong Chu:
    What on earth does naked glory mean? She was dying tough. But she couldnt. She had to suppress it! Chu Xiuhuang lifted his thin lips in a wicked smirk. Indeed, it wouldnt be suitable for a regr subordinate. But for you, I think its perfect. And dont forget, whos responsible for my current condition? Besides The curve of his smirk deepened further. Scared, are you? Its not your first time after all. The room fell into deathly silence. Shi Huan felt herself blushing from head to toe. Nangong Chu wasnt faring much better either. Even though she was a professional doctor and had been on many rounds, seen many things, but She was still a sheltered, innocent girl after all! Oh Mr. Chu, is being so explicit really necessary? Cant you consider the feelings of an innocent girl? Yet, Chu Xiuhuang remained leisurely, reclining back. Get on with it, we don t want to dy the doctors work. Shi Huan still wanted to protest. Mr. Chu, why wont you just Apart from using the bathroom and sleeping, I dont like taking off my own pants. Chu Xiuhuang uttered these words without any shame whatsoever. Which implies that even duringthat, he had someone tending to his needs? Did he really believe himself to be some ancient emperor? Shi Huan clenched her teeth. Mr. Chu, Im not Why all the pointless chatter? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted before she could finish. Havent I told you, I dont like hearing the same thing said thrice Before he couldplete his sentence, Shi Huan suddenly walked quickly to the side of the bed. She moved so quickly that Chu Xiuhuang didnt even see iting. His mouth was still half-open from his unfinished sentence And Shi Huan had already turned and walked into the bathroom. A few secondster, he turned to Nangong Chu who had her eyes tightly shut. What did you see just now? Nangong Chu shook her head quickly. Nothing, nothing at all, Brother Chu. I swear I didnt see anything! Even if you gave her a hundred guts, she wouldnt dare to see Chu Xiuhuang s naked glory1. She was, after all, self-aware. Chu Xiuhuang could only pull the nket over himself and said through gritted teeth, You can open your eyes now. Alright. Nangong Ci opened her eyes, quickly moved to pull the privacy curtains closed. * * When Shi Huan came out, she saw the curtain around the bed had already been pulled closed. They must be administering the treatment now. Shi Huan walked over to the couch and sat, nced at the bed and its curtain from time to time. Uh. Thinking of what might be happening there Cough,cough. She simply couldnt bear to think about it! Shi Huan shook her head violently, expelling the unpleasant thoughts. To avoid any further inappropriate thoughts, she pulled out her phone and started reading the news. There were numerous updates in the investment industry, but as she was reading, she got a notification. Her assistant, Xiaoliu, had sent her a Weibo news alert. The headline readjNational Goddess Lu Zixi Rumored to have had a Child out of Wedlock!] Soon, Xiaoliu sent another message,[Sis Shi, Im sorry, I sent the wrong message. Ignore it!] Shi Huan replied No problem, and didnt think much else of it. * * Lu Zixi had no idea how the news had gotten out. From three to four in the afternoon, a thread was posted on the Douban forum and then the news quickly spread to various entertainment gossip boards and even Weibo. She was totally in the dark at the time, attending the premiere of her movie in Chengdu. During the interview segment, a journalist raised the microphone and asked loudly, Miss Lu, would you like to address the recent rumors about you having a child out of wedlock? Lu Zixi was taken aback. This event was being live-streamed. Given the current poprity and status, and the rare appearance in Chengdu, so the organizers made special arrangements. The broadcast rights were given to several live-stream tforms. So, at that moment, all the viewers on those live-stream tforms saw the shock and pallor on her face. Another reporter asked, Miss Lu, is this rumor true? Lu Zixi was speechless. Because it caught herpletely off guard. Her silence made the journalists even more excited. Her silence was as good as a confirmation! So, chaos ensued. All the reporters swarmed the stage, asking sharp questions one after the other: Chapter 414: 414, the whole city is in turmoil Therefore, for a moment, the scene was in chaos. All the reporters flocked to the stage, talking all at once, with countless questions: Who is the biological father of the child? Where is the child now? Was that child at the premiere in Nancheng yours? Miss Lu Miss Lu Sounds of Miss Lu in all different volumes echoed in her ears, and LuZixis face turned ghastly pale. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Eventually, she didnt even know how she managed to get back backstage. With a ng, Lu Zixi snapped back to the present. She looked up and saw her agent standing in front of her, staring at her furiously, Zixi, what on earth is going on with all those news online! The rumours have spread all over the city now! They are saying that you gave birth but didnt raise the child, and that youd do anything for money!
    You brought up such a scandal when the movie was just released, do you not want to survive in this industry anymore? Out of all the artists Ive managed over the years, youre the first one who has capsized in the ditch! The TV station and newspaper just called and asked me to respond immediately, what am I supposed to say? All the manufacturers and advertisers are asking me if these rumours are true. If they are, they will use you of breach of contract and demandpensation! Zixi, oh Zixi. How could you disgrace yourself like this! Did you offend someone? Zixi, at least say something Lu Zixis face was pale. She had no idea how to exin. Because the news wasnt baseless, it wasthe truth. ** Monday morning. No sooner had Su Wanwan sat down in the ssroom than she heard several girls gossiping at the front: Lu Zixi is disgusting! Exactly, I cant believe I voted for her as the most popr female star on Weibo! I just saw her movie a few days ago! My boyfriend even said she looks pure! Pure, my ass, shes just pretending, right? During herst interview, she said she had never been in love, what an actress! Su Wanwan quickly took out her phone.
    When she opened Weibo, she saw all sorts of shocking headlines: [Nations sweethearts image copses, underage pregnancy shocks society!] [21-year-old innocent starlet already a mother!] [Shock! Unmasking the true face of the popr young actress!]
    [Another scandal from Huanyu Media, leading actresss reputation in tatters!] Su Wanwans first reaction was that Lu Zixi must have offended someone. How else could all these things have been exposed? Because when Lu Zixi came to seek her help, she only ambiguously revealed a part of it. But now, apart from the part she knew C that she had a surrogate pregnancy for money and abandoned the child in an orphanage, every detail, including the monthly remittances to the orphanage, has all been leaked. It couldnt have been so thoroughly investigated without professional involvement. When she clicked on Lu Zixis Weibo, thements section under hertest exnatory post was full of curses. [Die, bitch!] [You deceived my feelings! Liar! Master of lies!] [Apuredy? Youre bullshit!] [Youll get your retribution! I curse you to die soon!] It was absolutely appalling! Wanwan, what are you looking at? Mo Weiyi entered the ssroom, put down her bag, and leaned over to take a look. As soon as she saw the news, she immediately said, Since when are you interested in gossip news? Hurry up, help me figure out why I got this question wrongst night!
    Su Wanwan put down her phone, and helped her friend with the question. In the end Isnt this a first years question? Mo Weiyi sulked, Could you not say it out loud? Does the little princess not have any shame? Su Wanwan: ** The two English lessons ended, and as they were about to go for lunch, they heard their homeroom teacher calling from behind. Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan, pleasee over. Su Wanwan frowned, having an inexplicable sense of unease. Mo Weiyi also scrunched up her cute little face, Why is your homeroom teacher looking for you again? Does he have feelings for you? Su Wanwan gave her a re, Ill go see whats going on first, you head to the canteen and wait for me. Okay.
    ** Upon entering the elevator, the homeroom teacher asked her, Have you seen the news online? What news? Su Wanwan nodded. But what does that have to do with me? The homeroom teacher said, Zan Song and Lu Zixi came to see you, are you also involved in this? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, Teacher Wang, I dont know anything. The homeroom teacher: ** When they reached the office, Lu Zixi rushed over the moment they walked in, Miss Su, I beg you, please help me. Su Wanwan looked at her. Compared to before, Lu Zixi looked extremely haggard, her face swollen, her eyes red and puffy, dark circles clearly visible, and even her skin was in a bad state, with foundation unable to hide the dullness and blemishes. Where was the youthful beauty she used to have?
    It seemed that she had been having a rough time since the scandal broke out. The news online, it must have been Mr. Huo who leaked it, because he was the one who hired a private investigator and found out about my past! But Ive already promised him that I wouldnt go see Ziyang anymore, I swear! Lu Zixi spoke somewhat incoherently, Miss Su, Im finished. If Mr. Huo doesnt help me, Im really finished this time What are you talking about? Su Wanwan frowned, What does this have to do with my husband? She had indeed told Huo Jingshen about this, but She quickly responded, My husband definitely wouldnt do something like that, did you offend someone else? Impossible! It was him! It must be him! Besides him, no one else knows about this! Lu Zixi, in a state akin to madness, grabbed her hand, Miss Su, I beg you, please help me. Can you ask Mr. Huo to help me? Why didnt you go find him yourself? Su Wanwan retorted. He refuses to see me. Lu Zixi bit her lip. With the position and power of the Huo family, although she was scared, she still attempted it. Yet, after circling around the Huo Yuan Groups building with Zan Song for an entire morning, the receptionist informed them that without appointments, no visitors were allowed. They couldnt even get into the elevator, let alone see Huo Jingshen. Having no other options, she came to the school, hoping that since Su Wanwan was Huo Jingshens wife, it might be more effective to approach the matter through her. Su Wanwan, feeling pity for her, softened, Listen, my husband is not the kind of person who would interfere in trivial matters. And since hes already made clear that Ziyang is not your son, a misunderstanding that has been cleared up, why would he reveal your past? But if its not him, then who else could it be? Only Zhuo Song and you knew about this, if not him, could it be you So, are you suspecting me now? Su Wanwans face darkened abruptly. MissSu Im telling you officially that I knew nothing about this! Its useless toe find me! If you suspect my husband, go find him yourself. Dont bother me. Im going to eat. After saying that, Su Wanwan turned to leave. Miss Su! Lu Zixi grabbed her hand once more, Even if I beg you, could you please help me? Your husband is the only one who can save me now, if he helps me, Im sure everything will be alright. Su Wanwan found her utterly unreasonable and was somewhat impatient, Let go! Miss Su Zixi. Zan Song interjected at the right moment. Lu Zixi fell silent. Miss Su, the reason why this matter has blown up so much is because there must be someone behind the scenes stirring things up. If Mr. Huo is willing to help, given his connections and the Huo familys status, he can quickly suppress this. Zan Song spoke sincerely, Zixi is just a bit impatient, she didnt mean to me Mr. Huo and Miss Su. Lu Zixi quickly added, Im sorry, Miss Su, I was too anxious just now. Please dont take it to heart. Su Wanwan nodded. Finally understanding their intention. However Miss Lu, even if all the news is true, as soon as it happens, you should think about how to solve it instead of avoiding responsibility, ming others, and even asking others to help you. My husband has no reason to help you out of the blue. He doesnt want to meet you now, do you think hes doing this on purpose to harm you? Chapter 415: 415, were on TV now. Su Wenwen did not want to conjecture maliciously, but some things were just said bluntly. Lu Zixis expression immediately became awkward and embarrassed, Miss Su, I am not ignoring the problem. However, the rification I posted on Weibo isnt trusted by anyone, thements are filled with criticism towards me. All of my sponsors are in talks with thepany about terminating contracts and discussingpensation C all of my activities have been suspended. Netizens are even jointly calling for a ban on me! If this issue isnt resolved, I wont just lose my career but will also end up with a significant amount of debt In that case, SuWanwan looked at her, why dont you just admityour mistake? Lu Zixi looked stunned. Su Wanwan continued, Because all of these things are real. If you admit to them willingly with a good attitude, I believe your fans will understand you No, absolutely not! Lu Zixi interrupted her frantically, If I admit it, my career willpletely be destroyed. The state youre in right now, how is it different from being destroyed? Lu Zixi was stunned once again: Her phone rang, Su Wanwan pulled her hand away, My friend is rushing me, goodbye. She pulled open the door, only to be suddenly confronted by a flood of sh photography as soon as she stepped out of the office.
    The shes were continuous, their ring light forcing her to raise a hand to shield her face. * * Huo Yuan Group. After Huo Jingshen finished a transcontinental video conference, he came back to his office just as Ji Jie rushed in. Mr, Huo, somethings happened to your wife! Huo Jingshens eyebrows furrowed while his long, skeletal hand pushed open the door, Who did she beat up this time? Ji Jie grimly replied, No, your wife is on TV. Huo Jingshen: On TV? He strode into the office and behind him, Ji Jie began to narrate, The recent scandal involving Lu Zixi having a child underage, a group of journalists tracked her down to her school and just happened to run into your wife. They confronted each other on the spot, your wife made somements, and now shes gone viral online! Everyone is praising your wife! Huo Jingshen once again: Truly unexpected. A minuteter, the man sat in his ck leather chair, arms crossed over his chest, observing the interview news calmly. The camera was focused on the corridor of the schools office, Su Wanwan stood there while a group of journalists asked her questions with their cameras and microphones: Whats your rtionship with Lu Zixi? Do you know about her underage pregnancy? Did Lu Zixi really abandon her child after giving birth?
    Miss, are you the nanny of that child? Please The final sentence got cut off by Su Wanwan, Have you ever seen such a young and pretty nanny like me? Pfft! Ji Jie burst outughing, and quickly covered his mouth. Continuing.
    What exactly is your rtionship with Lu Zixi? Whats your view on Lu Zixis incident? Why did Lu Zixi look for you? Before Su Wanwan could reply, a journalist shouted, Lu Zixi ising out! Lu Zixi, Lu Zixi! And Zan Song! The scene thus devolved into chaos, with all three surrounded by journalists shoving mics in their faces, shes going off continuously, and innumerable questions thrown at them. Except for theparativelyposed Su Wanwan, Lu Zixi, the one at the center of the issue, was obviously panicking. In the midst of the confusion, she suddenly turned to Su Wanwan, Miss Su, even if you dont want to help, theres no need to be so ruthless. Do you really want to destroy me? Su Wanwan frowned in puzzlement, What do you mean by that? Lu Zixi, while trying to avoid the cameras, said, Only you and Mr. Wang knew that Zan Song and I wereing here. Mr. Wang, whos been friends with Zan Song for many years, would never betray us Enough! Su Wanwan abruptly interrupted, her beautiful face abruptly turned cold and aloof, Youre the one who messed up in the past, and now that your actions have been exposed, instead of thinking how to rectify the situation, you want to cover up the truth? After realizing you cant cover it up, you looked for others for help. When others dont help, theyre deliberately harming you? Trying to destroy you?
    No wonder people say the entertainment industry is so superficial nowadays. Idol stars only pursue their looks, not their acting skills. Its precisely because of stars like you,cking substance and devoid of responsibility, that this is happening! Idols huh? Youre fooling the public and corrupting society, leading a bad example for children! Youre also bringing down the standards of other idol stars! One rotten apple spoils the barrel! Huo Jingshen looked at the face of Su Wanwan on the screen, with a slight smirk on his thin lips. The youngdy was passionately speaking with an emotional, angry, and sarcastically cheerful expression, particrly those beautiful phoenix eyes that were full of cold, glittering light, staring directly at Lu Zixi. One being upright and forthright, the other retreating with guilt. Such a juxtaposition clearly defined the highs and lows. Ji Jie hurriedly began to tter, Didnt expect the young madam to have such strong values, the inte is full of praises for her. Oh? Huo Jingshen seemed to be in a good mood, What are they praising her for? Ji Jies eyes lit up as he quickly took out his phone, opened a tweet, and scrolled down to thements section, Take a look, boss Huo. Huo Jingshen raised his brows, looking at thements. [Thisdy has got her values right! ] [Justice might bete, but it will never be absent! ] [Lu Zixi, you did wrong but dont even dare to admit it. Now you me thedy for not helping to cover you up?]
    [d thedy didnt join in the corruption!) [Thedy is pretty and has a sweet voice, much more attractive than Lu Zixi! ] [Is thedy also a celebrity? Can anyone guide me to her Weibo ount?] [Within five minutes, I want all the information on this girl.] [Looking for Weibo! Looking for Weibo! Looking for Weibo!] At first, Huo Jingshens expression was pleasant, but as he continued reading thosements, his brows furrowed deeper, his expression bing increasingly stern. In the end, his face turned almost sullenly grim. Ji Jie was terrified, he even began to doubt his life. Whats going on? Isnt this all praise for the madam? Why is Boss Huo suddenly unhappy about praising the madam? Until With a bang, Huo Jingshen mmed the phone onto the table.
    The loud sound Scared Ji Jie out of his wits. That was his new iPhone, bought just for ying PUBG! Immediately find someone to block all the information, never allow any photos or videos of the madam to appear on the inte. Why? Ji Jie blurted out, then quickly covered his mouth, Im sorry Boss Huo, Ill arrange it right away. Saying that, he grabbed his phone and ran off. God, Boss Huo is so unpredictable, like a grim reaper! Always changing his mood without any warning, terrifyingly unpredictable! Damn, serving as Huos assistant for half a year, he felt like his life expectancy had been shortened by several years. Huo Jingshen sat there, fingers pressing against his forehead, his handsome face slightly tense and serious. Looking at the youngdys beautiful face on the screen, especially that teardrop mole under her eyes, blooming like a peach blossom. Actually, Su Wenwens appearance was very distinctive, even though she didnt wear much makeup and dressed casually, anyone who saw her once would find it hard to forget. Several secondster, he suddenly picked up his phone and dialed a number, Lao Gu, I need your help with something. * * Huanyu Media. Today, Ye Qitian was called back by his manager for a meeting. Just as he walked through thepanys main entrance, he saw Lu Zixi and Zan Songing out from a conference room. He stared and was about to rush over for an argument. What are you trying to do? Manager Xie Ding quickly stopped him. Lu Zixi bit her lip and left, while Zan Song snorted coldly, Ye Qitian, what do you also want to kick someone when theyre down? Xie Ding quicklyughed it off, Director Zan, dont misunderstand. Qitian was just immersing himself in his script, where he ys a mentally ill patient. He got too absorbed. Zan Song: After Zan Song also left, Xie Ding quickly dragged Ye Qitian into the conference room. My god, for the love of god, could you please not interfere in others business? Do you think you can afford to offend Zan Song? I took a lot of effort to get you into this industry. Youre trying to ruin your future, arent you? In recent years, Lu Zixis poprity had been entirely attributed to Zan Song. His script selection and shooting techniques were indeed outstanding. Xie Ding wanted Ye Qitian to get roles in his uing projects as well. Ye Qitian didnt care at all, Lu Zixi bullied my junior sister, and shes facing a media blockade. What are you afraid of? Xie Ding was speechless, Anyway, listen to me, you must not get involved in this. The entertainment scene was all about taking sides, let alone them being in the samepany. For many years, Deng Anya had been the top actress of Huanyu Media. But in the past two years, Lu Zixi, following Zan Song, had shot several web-novel adaptations, took the idol-route and rose to fame rapidly. She quickly became the most popr national goddess on screen. Chapter 416:416, Old Gu Deng Anya used to be the top actress from Huanyu Media, but in recent years, Lu Zixi has skyrocketed in poprity by starring in several popr dramas adapted from online novels under the guidance of Zan Song. Her career path and poprity grew rapidly, making her one of the nations favorite actresses in no time at all. Deng Anya has been in the entertainment industry far longer than Lu Zixi and had always been thepanys cash cow. She must have been offended when thepany started to favor Lu Zixi over her, even if they still put on a facade of sisterly affection. Most of the people in thepany are opportunists, and many have been secretly kowtowing to Lu Zixi in private hoping for some benefits. However, they didnt expected Lu Zixi to face a scandal these few days which rocked her career. As a result, these fickle people are already starting to sway towards the other side. And yet, Xie Ding well understands that trends in public opinion are merely transient. In this industry, nothing can be certain until the very end. Take a top national male star from a few years ago who had an extramarital affair scandal. He was once boycotted by the entire inte, and now he is still gaining endorsements and making a fortune. With strong backing, what hurdle couldnt be ovee? Perhaps a mysterious tycoon might even show up to give Lu Zixi a boost Sure enough, after Ye Ojtian finished his meeting and checked his phone, the video news about Su Wanwan and Lu Zixi had been deleted. There were no traces of it left on any forums.
    Even the posts byizens sharing the link were quickly deleted within seconds, saying that the addressed link was invalid. Immediately afterward, all the news about Lu Zixi was swiftly deleted akin to lightning striking before one could cover their ears, and all relevant posts from marketing blogs were also quickly erased. When some people tried toment on Lu Zixis Weibo, their ounts were immediately gged as abnormal and were logged out. When they tried to log back in, their ounts had been blocked, with the reason stated as: Due toments that vite nationalws and regtions, your ount has been temporarily suspended. Xie Ding palpitated his heart. He knew it, things werent as simple as they seemed on the surface. Soon after, something even more unexpected happened. [Are Deng Anya and Elder Gu about to tie the knot?] [Elder Gu and Deng Anya spotted spending the night at a seven-star hotel!] [Elder Gus rtionship revealed! Hispanion is none other than the top actress of his empire, Deng Anya!] [Deng Anya has been resting from worktely to prepare for her wedding into a rich family!] Explosive gossip headlines like these easily drowned out all the previous news about Lu Zixis scandal. Deng Anya has always been the top actress of Huanyu Media and a top-tier national actress. Even though her poprity has been overshadowed by Lu Zixi in the past two years, her deeply rooted fan base still exists. Moreover, her poprity increased significantly this time with the involvement of Elder Gu. Who is Elder Gu? In Nancheng, besides the Four Aristocratic Families, there exists a legendary alliance of the ten richest families. With the Huo Family taking the lead, the other families, namely the Chu Family, Mo Family, Lu Family, Ming Family, Nangong Family, Bo Family etc., each dominate different industries. Among them, the Gu Family controls the entire entertainment empire. The current family head of the Gu Family, Gu Huaian, is a gentle and refined man. Being the seventh son born during his fathers old age, he is respectfully referred to as Seventh Master by the younger generation, and humorously as Elder Gu by outsiders, despite only being 28 years old.
    He is the youngest and the most legendary figure of the Gu Family, and also the most handsome and prestigious diamond-grade bachelor in the entire entertainment industry. There have been several rumors about Gu Huaian in the past, but every time they were quickly denied and the posts deleted. After all, anyone who walks near a river will inevitably get their shoes wet, right? But this time, his scandal with Deng Anya keeps escting. Numerous big V bloggers and marketing blogs are stirring public opinion, gossip forums are crammed with discussions, and even Weibo was once paralyzed.
    The gossip surpassed even the previous news about Chu Xiuhuang spending a fortune to buy out the entire jewelry exhibition area. Even Gu Huaian himself posted a vague Weibo post. Elder Gu: [Its time to see some things more clearly.] Netizens began toment one after another: [Does seeing clearly mean admitting Deng Anya is your one true love?] [Tears of joy for Seventh Master finally finding his one true love! ] [Wish you happiness always! ] [We hope our YaYa is well taken care of- ] [A match made in heaven! ] Huo Yuan Group, CEOs office. Gu Huaian, readingments on his Weibo, his handsome face twitched slightly. Finally, he threw his phone away, lifted his gaze towards the man sitting behind his desk, gnashing his teeth word by word, What I posted on Weibo was about you, dammit! Huo Jingshen sat there elegantly, with a half-smoked cigarette between his long fingers.
    Upon hearing this, he only smiled faintly and asked, Wasnt the news about Lu Zixi leaked by Deng Anya? Gu Huaian scoffed, Ive always managed to stay out of the artists internalpetition. Running an entertainmentpany, he refrains from meddling into the dirty fights among the artists. Their survival depends on their own abilities. Who makes money, he supports, as simple as that. He is not so low as to lose hisposure over some scandal concerning a minor artist. But now This old fox has actually asked him, the boss, to clean up Lu Zixis mess and also hype up the scandal with Deng Anya, all to avoid implicating his own wife. After all, everyone knows in the media circle, the best way to cover up a piece of news is to release another explosive news in its ce. So youre getting Lu Zixi out of her scandal, boosting Deng Anqis poprity, and all it costs you is a bit of face. As a boss, making two of your female artists coexist peacefully is indeed killing two birds with one stone- both will help you make money. Each sentence from Huo Jingshen made Gu Huaians handsome face twitch. He felt as if he had developed Parkinsons disease, constantly trembling. In the end, Huo Jingshen summarised, Also, your sister-inw already taught you a solution. He even took out his phone and said generously, To thank you for your help this time, Ill add you to the group. What group? Gu Huaian became alert instantly. What was this old fox up to now? After a minute, in the WJY WeChat group showed,[Huo Jingshen invited Gu Huaian to join the group chat]
    Nangong Ci: [Holy, Elder Gu, howe youre in here?] Ming Jing: [Is Seventh Master going to do some fun stuff as well?] Lu Chenyu: [?] Nangong Ci: [Just hearing that a neer has arrived, the fourth brothers cunning eyes are instantly beaming with excitement! ] Lu Chenyu: [Roll.] Nangong Ci: [Hahahaha.] Gu Huaian: [] Dammit, what the hell is this messy group chat? Aside from the married man Huo Jingshen and the half-paralyzed Chu Xiuhuang, theyre all single dogs that no one wants! He, Gu Huaian, must not sink to their level! He clenched his fist! ** Lu Zixi did not understand how things could suddenly turn out this way.
    All the criticism and nder against her on the forum and Weibo had disappeared, and all of the peoples attention was focused on the scandal involving Deng Anya and her old aunt. When she looked at her own Weibo, all the water armys nders were gone as well. It was as if everything had never happened. At two oclock in the afternoon, Gu Huaian returned to thepany and immediately summoned her to the CEOs office. ** Meanwhile, at Nancheng University. Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi arrived at the reading room. As soon as they walked in, they found that almost all the seats were taken, and there were no two that were adjacent to each other. Just as Su Wanwan was about to suggest finding another ce, Mo Weiyi pulled her along, saying, Follow me. So she followed her into the room, and finally stood before Ling Zhizhou. Junior sister, theres a seat here. Ling Zhizhou pointed to the empty seat next to him, then pointed to the table next door, Theres another one over there. Su Wanwan naturally headed to the table next door, Then, Ill sit over there. Mo Weiyi naturally sat next to Ling Zhizhou. Since this wasnt the first time, Su Wanwan was already used to this junior school brother always saving seats for Mo Weiyi while she, as the third wheel, hung out on the sidelines. She got out her textbook and embarked on her revision unswervingly until her phone suddenly lighted up. It was a WeChat message from Zhao Qianqian. [Wanwan, that Lu Zixi who came to our school at noon, shes suddenly live streaming on Weibo, hurry up and see!] Because of the sudden appearance of reporters and given Lu Zixis sensitive situation at the time, it swept the school forums and became a hot topic, with students also posting and forwarding the video. Zhao Qianqian was even worried that Lu Zixi would cause trouble for Su Wanwan, so she let her know as soon as she saw the live stream. Su Wanwan opened Weibo and clicked directly into Lu Zixis live stream. In the picture, Lu Zixi was facing the camera without makeup, her face pale, her eyes red and swollen, and her whole person looked haggard and dim. She said, I entered the entertainment industry at the age of eleven just to help my father pay off his debts. My mom passed away early. My dads health wasnt good, and he was tricked into gambling and owed several million in high- interest loans. Later, he asked me to be a surrogate mother for someone else, saying that we can pay off all the gambling debts at once. I knew surrogacy is illegal in our country, and Ive always been afraid to mention it. Im afraid that you guys will know that Ive given birth, Im afraid that youll think Im a tainted woman, and Im afraid to face that ignominious past Lu Zixi started to cry. The barrage of her fans was also flooding the screen. [So, she had to help her family pay off their debt, Zixi is really pitiful! ] [I knew Zixi must have had a hard time! ] [To err is human, the key is to realize and correct the mistakes, and you didnt intentionally want to deceive us] [Admitting this kind of thing really requires a lot of courage!] After giving birth to my child, I thought I could help my dad pay off all his debts, but the employer suddenly moved overseas. My dad couldnt get the money, so he asked me to abandon the child, but I felt that it was a living life! Lu Zixi cried and said, I couldnt bear it, so I sent my child to an orphanage. Every month, I would send money to the orphanage for them to take care of him. I thought when I was capable enough, I would bring my child back. However, I did not expect that the orphanage suddenly caught fire and my childmy child was burned alive Lu Zixi wept uncontrobly, with big tears rolling down her cheeks, while thements and messages on the screen were also instantly filled with heartfelt feelings. [So tragic!] [Im crying, what about you guys?] [Zixi, stay strong!] [Zixi, its not your fault that the child is gone! ] [I will support Zixi for ten thousand years!] Having finally revealed the whole truth, Lu Zixi stood up and bowed repeatedly to the camera. As she bowed, tears streamed down her face, and she was visibly overwhelmed with emotion. Su Wanwan nced at the live viewership, which was close to thirty million. Thements on the screen wereing in fast and furious. The reason why the public was so outraged was that her fans felt they had been deceived. Now that she hade forward to reveal the truth and willingly admitted her mistakes, with such sincere attitude and a tragic story The majority of her fans were of the same age. Given the stark contrast in their life experiences,passion took over, and they naturally felt pity for her. In the end, all thements were encouraging her to stand up and move on. Su Wanwan let out a long sigh. If only she had done this earlier, right? Everyones past has genuinely existed; it is impossible to cover up. Instead of living in constant fear, its better to face it with total honesty Start afresh with righteousness. Because everyone has the right to repent and start anew. Su Wanwan exited Weibo, thinking that the matter should end there and it should not have much to do with her. However, she did not expect to receive a sudden WeChat message from Huo Jingshen in the evening, [Baby,e to the door.] [What for?] [Taking you out to dinner, also to meet a friend.] [Male or female?]Su Wanwan immediately asked. Huo Jingshen sent a built-in WeChat smiley emoticon, [Neither male nor female.] Su Wanwan: Su Wanwan changed into a set of clothes before going on the date. Because she has not forgotten that every time she sees Huo Jingshens friends, shell get teased with lines like old bull eating young grass or good bite Chapter 417: 417, Golden Bachelor Chapter 417: Golden Bachelor Thirty-year-old men arent that old, right? in todays society, there are plenty of forty-something single men who proudly call themselves eligible bachelors. However,pared to a twenty-year-old college student like her who hadnt even graduated yet, Huo Jingshen indeed seemed a little older Moreover, every time he dressed very maturely, most of his outfits were in ck, white, and grey, and he seldomughed or joked in public. At first nce, he looked like an aplished city gentleman. So Su Wanwan spent a long time searching through her wardrobe and finally selected a ck dress that she had bought while shopping with Huos grandmother. The design was simple and elegant, the fabric was stretchy, it hugged her body nicely, and thece details around the shoulders and hem made it appear mature and graceful. She let down her long, ck curly hair, applied a bit of light makeup, and wore the popr girly strawberry-colored lipstick. Carrying her small bag, Su Wanwan arrived at the campus gate in such attire. As soon as she got into the car and took off her down jacket, Huo Jingshen immediately looked over at her.
    Firstly, he noticed the semi-transparentce on her shoulders. The white skin of the young girl forthwith appeared luminous. Her fluffy curls looselyy on her shoulders, highlighting her delicate and lustrous neck. Her powdered oval face looked exquisite and tender, seemingly with no pores at all. The hint of red on her lips contrasted against the strong impact of ck and white, serving as the finishing touch. Su Wanwan thought, Why isnt he driving? As she turned her head, she saw him gazing at her intently Following his gaze, she looked down. What the hell! What are you looking at! Su Wanwan quickly raised her hand to shield herself. Huo Jingshen nonchntly averted his gaze and cleared his throat, When did you buy this dress? Howe he hadnt seen her wear it before? Su Wanwan hummed a reply, Grandma bought it for me. Huo Jingshen raised his brows. He surely needed to have a talk with his grandmother about why she bought such a tight-fitting dress. Was she trying to tease him? Does it look good? Su Wanwan intentionally asked him. Mmm. Huo Jingshens voice was deep and husky, as if he were whispering sweet nothings, Baby, you re so beautiful, everything looks good on you. Psh! You smooth talker! Huo Jingshen:
    Seeing the girls subtle smile, he felt a little weak in the knees. Finally, Mu Shang started the car and they set off. Along the way, Su Wanwan brought up Lu Zixis matter and finally asked him, I watched the live broadcast. Her fans say they forgive her, so she probably wont have to pay the spokesperson so much money now, right? Huo Jingshen didntment.
    The impact of Lu Zixis live streaming was indeed immediate. Until yesterday afternoon before the live broadcast, Lu Zixi was still an immature TV star who had a child underage andcked proper judgement. Now she had transformed into the most tragic female artist of the year, who was forced to work for her fathers debt, and gained numerous fans overnight. And those sponsors werent fools. The most valuable thing in the entertainment industry was poprity. In the era of fan economy, as long as she had fan support, Lu Zixi could instantly be innocent again. Now that she and Deng Anqi had be the focus of attention, why wouldnt the sponsors be happy? As for Gu Huaian, the boss, he naturally became the biggest winner. This party tonight was his so-called appreciation dinner . * * Half an hourter, Huo Jingshen brought Su Wanwan to the mansion. They were in the same Fire Emperor private room as before, but the owner of the room was still in the hospital. When Su Wanwan pushed open the door of the private room, she was stunned. Even Huo Jingshen seemed slightly surprised. Because in addition to Gu Huaian, there was surprisingly another young girl in
    the room. The handsome young man was sitting on the sofa, dressed in a dark three- piece suit, which made him look refined and chic, like an elegant nobleman from a wealthy family. The girl was sitting on hisp, wearing the school uniform- a white blouse and red pleated skirt, with white leggings and ck boots. When she saw someone enter, the girls sparkling eyes were filled with curiosity. Thin lips parted, Gu Huaians baritone was warm and captivating, Youre here. Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan walked in and sat down. Haohao, sit on the sofa yourself. Gu Huaian instructed with narrowing eyes. But the little girl called Haohao, remained sped around his neck, refusing to let go. Her big eyes were staring at Su Wanwan; her face was pretty and innocent, yet there was an evident look of caution. Su Wanwan smiled, Is this your daughter? She s so cute. Huo Jingshen: Gu Huaian: Gu Haohao clearly said, Sister, Im not Brother Ans daughter, Im his sister.
    Su Wanwan awkwardly chuckled, Sorry, I thought Im thirteen this year. Gu Haohao added. Su Wanwan wanted to say she really didnt look like it. The little girl in her school uniform, with her petite figure, looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl, sitting so intimately on Gu Huaiansp She instinctively thought they were father and daughter. After all, Huo Jingshens age was evident, and his friends were not young either. It wouldnt be surprising if he had a daughter of eight or nine years old. Turns out shes his sister? Huo Jingshen whispered into her ear, The little sister he adopted. Uh Looking at the little girl again, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a bit strange. An adopted sister? That means theres no blood rtion. If thats the case, its really okay for them to be so intimate with each other now that shes thirteen? Gu Huaian seemed unperturbed. He settled Haohao on the couch next to him and began to exin, I thought Sister-inw was too young and wouldnt have much inmon with us, so I brought Haohao over. You two can y together. Su Wanwan was somewhat speechless, Im twenty.
    Huo Jingshen said, Good on you for being thoughtful. You should indeed thank your sister-inw. Gu Huaian: Suppressing the urge to hit someone, he slowly curled his thin lips, half-smiling, half-teasing, So, Sister-inw, have you decided on your future job? Su Wanwan let out an ah. Future job? Isnt it a bit early to be worrying about that? Sister-inw, youre studying journalism, right? Thats exactly what mypany specializes in. If youre interested, you can look for me when the timees. Gu Huaian said, extending a business card with his slender hand. Su Wanwan quickly epted it with both hands and looked at the shiny, gold letters on it. CEO of Huanyu Media Group: Gu Huaian. Huanyu Media? Su Wanwan immediately asked, Are you the boss of Huanyu Media? What about it? Gu Huaian raised an eyebrow, Apart from Lu Zixi, do you know other artists? I have a friend, his name is Ye Qitian. Upon hearing this name, Huo Jingshens brow furrowed. The next second. Hes a bit silly, a bit of an airhead, not very intelligent or sociable. Huo Jingshen: Gu Huaian: But hes a pretty good guy. Su Wanwan grinned, He just filmed a web movie, I forgot what its called. Gu Huaian looked at Huo Jingshen, stretching the word, Friend? Su Wanwan nodded without suspicion, Yes. Gu Huaian raised an eyebrow, I see. Sister-inw probably wants me to take good care of him, right? Who knew, Su Wanwan continued, I know him too well. Hes impulsive, single-minded, cant handle interpersonal rtionships, and is absolutely not suitable for the entertainment industry. Hell get the short end of the stick. His family is very rich, and Im guessing his parents wouldnt want him mingling in this circle. Sooner orter, hell have to go back and take over thepany. So, could you find a way to fire him on the sly, and send him back to Los Angeles? Gu Huaian: So tant about getting someone fired in front of their boss? Huo Jingshen, however, looked amused, Your sister-inw has a point. You know what to do, right? Gu Huaian again: So what if she s two years older? Having friends like these really lowered his standing The private room door was suddenly knocked twice, and a waiter came in, Mr. Gu, may we serve the dishes now? Gu Huaian gathered his emotions and nodded in agreement. A few waiters pushed in food carts, and soon, the dining table wasden with a dazzling array of dishes. The lighting in the private room was also turned up a bit, and Huo Jingshen and Gu Huaian ate while chatting, covering typical mens topics like the stock market, bank interest rates, national policies, city nning She didnt understand any of it. Halfway through her meal, Su Wanwan suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged twice. Chapter 418: 418, Seventh Master Gu Chapter 418: Seventh Master Gu Looking down, Gu Haohao was standing by the table, looking up with a little face, smiling so her eyes curved. Sister, I want to go to the restroom. Can you go with me? The little girl was sweet and pretty, her voice also soft and sweet, which instantly warmed Su Wanwans heart. Sure. She got up, took the little girls hand, and they left the box to go to thedies restroom. Just as she pushed the door open, a strange noise reached her ears before she could even speak. Su Wanwan felt like her brain was exploding. She immediately turned around, pulled the little girl out, and closed the door. Dear God! This is way too explicit, isnt it? They were simply shameless! Doing it tantly in the restroom? One things to do it, but why arent they discreet?
    Making so much noise, were they afraid people wouldnt hear? What was thatdy doing just now? As expected, Haohao started asking questions. Su Wanwan was experiencing such a strange situation for the first time. Her face flushing with embarrassment, she struggled to exin. Well, its nothing, thatdyshe must be dealing with something. Dont think too much about it. Was she being bullied by a bad guy? Haohao asked, tilting her little head, looking concerned. Er Su Wanwan felt a headacheing on. Haohao was only thirteen this year, an age quite awkward. Half-knowing, half- not. This wasnt something you could ze over with a boy, let alone a girl- just as she was fretting over this, Haohaos hand slipped from hers. Im going to tell Brother An! With that, the little girl turned and began running back. Haohao! Su Wanwan hurried to catchup, but as she rounded the corner, a figure abruptly appeared from the other end of the corridor. Wanwan. Su Wanwan stopped, Bai Ruwei? What are you doing here? Bai Ruwei, in a white dress and delicate makeup, had her cellphone in one hand. With the other, she tookSu Wanwans wrist. Wanwan, dont go. Whats wrong? Bai Ruwei nced nervously at the restroom. Just dont go, okay? Su Wanwan frowned, Do you know them? Bai Ruwei didnt deny it and nodded. Yes, so can you do me a favor, please? Her grip tightened as if she feared Su Wanwan would leave. Su Wanwan didnt understand yet. What do you mean? How can I help you? The people inside are Xia Jiani. Bai Ruwei lowered her voice and whispered, She and that Mister Zhou have been in there a while, but nobody dares to disturb them. Ive been waiting here, waiting to take photos of them and send them to reporters.
    But it seemed that there was no need now because the little girl had undoubtedly run off to call for help. The people who were with Su Wanwan were either Huo Jingshen or his friends, all of them esteemed figures of affluence in Nancheng. In this way, she wouldnt have to lift a finger to have things blown out of proportion. She had been looking for an opportunity like this evening, and she slipped something into their drinks when their box was crowded with people
    Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed from the corridor. Su Wanwan turned to see Gu Huaian approach. If, a moment earlier in the room, he seemed like a gentle and harmless noble, now he looked like apletely different person. His features tight, he looked serious and intimidating, a noticeable frost lining his eyes. Servers trailed behind him, followed by the security guards of the manor, an overbearing sight. But at this moment, Bai Ruwei suddenly let go and bolted. GuHuaiansmand sounded, Kick the door down, get them out! No sooner had his words fallen than the guards charged in. Immediately, a series of door-banging sounds came from the restroom apanied by a mans roars and a womans shrill screams. Whos there? Shit! Who are you? Let go!
    Let me go! Bastard, dont touch me! Ah ah ah ah ah Both the man and the woman were dragged out. Since the door was abruptly kicked down, both of them were flustered and disoriented. The man was slightly better off. Xia Jiani was in a much worse state. She could only desperately cover herself and keep her head down, terrified of being recognized. Elsewhere, Bai Ruwei stormed into the VIP room, Bad news, bad news, something terrible has happened. In the room, Lin Yu put down her wine ss, looking impatient, What are you shouting for, you country bumpkin? Cant you see were drinking? It was some rich guys birthday today, who had reserved a VIP room. Bai Ruwei knew that Xia Jiani wasing to hang out, and she had called Lin Yu relentlessly asking to join the festivities. Lin Yu wasnt excited about bringing her along. Yet she had underestimated Bai Ruweis thick skin. Bai Ruwei kept calling her and begging her, iming she just wanted to see the world.
    Since they came from the same school, Lin Yu thought, let here and see the gap between them. Maybe then shed stop shamelessly trying to fit in. But Bai Ruwei ran out of the room after their first drink and now sped in with a scream. Xia Jiani was caught fooling around with Mr. Zhou in the restroom! Lin Yu froze instantly as Bai Ruweis words settled in, and the men and women in the box looked equally astonished. The next second, everyone rushed out of the room. No one does not like a good spectacle, especially involving the scandalous disasters of acquaintances. The restroom entrance was crowded in no time. Everyone knew people liked to fool around in clubs, but whenever something like this happened, most people just turned a blind eye. This was the first time someone had been caught red-handed. Everyone was excited, brandishing their phones, taking photos or recording videos, and some even went live to increase their views. Xia Jianis face flushed crimson. Dont film, no filming! The man, realizing how bad the situation was, tried to escape. Still, he was detained by the bodyguards. Gu Huaians voice was icy, Who allowed you to disgrace yourselves in the restroom, dirtying the ears of my Gu family members. The man looked at him, Who the hell are you? Shes my girlfriend, and we can do whatever we want in private C whats that got to do with you? Damn, it was not the first time they had done this sort of thing in the bathroom. Why were they so unlucky this time to be caught red-handed
    Gu Huaians eyes were icy and resolute as hemanded, Take this pair of lovers to the police station. Upon hearing about going to the police station, Xia Jiani panicked, disregarding her dignity, she shrieked, Do you know who I am? If you dare touch me, my dad will not let you go! Your dad? Gu Huaians tone was indifferent, not even a flutter of his eyshes. My dad is Xia Chengli! Upon hearing this name, Gu Huaian squinted his eyes, Even your dad has to address me as Uncle Seven, as for you, what should you call me? Xia Jiani was frightened, her face turned from red to white, You you are Gu Huaian didnt want to waste any more time, he turned around, Take them to the police station. The bodyguards stepped forward, each grabbing a person and led them away. Su Wanwan had been standing among the onlookers, preparing to leave, when a familiar male hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Turning around, she saw Huo Jingshen looking at her with his head lowered, Are you not leaving? Cant get enough of the show? Su Wanwan: ** Back in the private room, Gu Haohao was eating dessert. Gu Huaian sat next to her, but his mood was clearly affected. After finishing his dessert, Gu Huaian got up to leave. Gu Haohao waved her little hand, Sister, Ill y with you again next time. Okay. Su Wanwan was a little embarrassed. As for Huo Jingshen, he didnt ask anything. He just checked the time and drove Su Wanwan back to school right away. The night passed without a word. When Su Wanwan woke up the next day, she received a WeChat message from Bai Ruwei, just a few short phrases. [Wanwan, thank you.] When she opened up Weibo, indeed, news of Xia Jianis scandal had broken out. Just as Bai Ruwei had said, the Xiao family had enjoyed a good reputation for generations. Her father was currently the head of Nanchengs firstndbat team. The sudden exposure of his daughters scandal was indeed a devastating blow. Especially the man involved was also a well-known rich young man in Nancheng. After the two were taken to the police station, a certain drugponent was even detected in Xia Jianis stomach. The incident stirred up quite a stir on the inte. Netizens even joked that its been one big show after another towards the end of the year, and that they didnt need to watch any New Year movie anymore. Mo Group. Xiao Yebai watched this piece of scandalous news on his screen, his expression indifferent. His ck eyes behind the lenses were like a deep ink sea C thick, profound and endless. Knock Knock Knock, the door was knocked a few times. Mr. Xiao, here is the list of attendees for the anniversary celebration, including all branches. The list is all here. Zhong Kai ced down the document, waiting for review. Taking a nce at the list, Xiao Yebais voice rang out, The marketing manager of the Haicheng branch? Caught off guard, Zhong Kai hastily said, Do you mean Zhang Dechang, sir? Due to poor performance a while ago, hes been transferred to the operations department. Add him to the list. Okay. Although puzzled, Zhong Kai noted it down immediately, Is there anything else, Mr. Xiao? Xiao Yebai said, Thats all. Alright, Mr. Xiao, I will arrange it now. ** At seven in the evening, Xiao Yebai drove back to the Mo Familys old house. Today was old Mr. Mos birthday. Because of his frail health, and his body couldnt stand the abrupt cold weather, he didnt want to go out for a grand celebration anymore in recent years. They nned to only have a simple family dinner tonight. When Xiao Yebai stepped into the hall, he noticed a few people already sitting in the living room. Besides the Mo family and mother and daughter of the Xu family, there was one additional guest. Seeing Xiao Yebai, Xu Rui, who had been sitting next to Qu Yunyao, immediately stood up and greeted very respectfully, Mr. Xiao. Xiao Yebai nodded indifferently, Director Xu. Yebai is back. Butler Shi, get the food ready. Mo Yaoxiong got up, Aunt Zhou, go callYiyi. Aunt Zhou wiped her hands, Okay Ill go. Xiao Yebai said. After hearing that, Mo Yaoxiong naturally nodded satisfactorily, She said she was tired and wanted to sleep when she came back this afternoon. Its already a few hours into her nap now. Youd better check on her. If shes not feeling well, take her to the hospital. Alright. Suddenly Xu Jing blurted out, Could Yiyi be pregnant? Qu Yunyao was taken aback. Is Mo Weiyi pregnant? She probably isnt. Xiao Yebai said indifferently, Im going to check on her first. Okay. ** Southern Mansion, second floor bedroom. Mo Weiyi was just trying to avoid talking and wasting time with those people, so she lied to Mo Yaoxiong about feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep. She had not expected to feel drowsy after lying on the couch and reading her English textbook for a while So when Xiao Yebai pushed open the door, he saw her sleeping soundly, leaning back on the couch, with an open English textbook in her hands. He walked over to the couch and reached out his thin and fair fingers to pick up her English textbook. Just as he was about to pull out the book Mo Weiyi held that textbook tightly, No Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, he forcefully pulled the book out. Mo Weiyi frowned slightly, but very soon, she fell asleep again. His thin lips curved up slightly, so slightly that it appeared almost nonexistent. Xiao Yebai stood there, flipping over the textbook. The pages were filled with dense annotations made with a ck pen. However, he wore a frown after reading only two lines. It was written by a man. Next to each English word, there was an annotation in Chinese pinyin. It was the slowest way to learn English. But there was no doubt, a lot of effort had been put into it. Xiao Yebai turned two pages and then closed the textbook. His attractive ck eyes under the lenses slowly moved back to the woman on the couch. Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai His gaze lingered unabashedly on her features. A few secondster, he suddenly let go. With a ck. The heavy English textbook fell onto the floor, emitting a loud noise. On the couch, Mo Weiyi gave a start. Then, she opened her eyes. Her little face, flush from sleep, showed signs of momentary bewilderment and confusion. The next second, her catlike eyes blinked twice, her eyebrows arched and her mouth formed into a sweet smile, Xiaobai. She stood straight up from the sofa and raised her hands to wrap around the mans neck, coquettishly, Why didnt you wake me up when you returned? The man stood there unmoved, his voice chill, Dad said youre unwell. He asked me to check on you. Im not. Mo Weiyi looked at the mans handsome jawline and pouted, I was nning to memorize a few words but fell asleep. English is too hard In that case, stop reading.
    How could I? Exams are less than a month away. Mo Weiyi suddenly noticed the English textbook on the floor, How did my book fall on the floor? She bent down, intending to reach for the book, when she felt a sudden tightness around her waist and was then swept off her feet. Mo Weiyi, startled, quickly clung onto Xiao Yebais neck, Xiaobai? Are you? * * At the dining room. The rectangr dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, was loaded with mouthwatering dishes. The decanter, filled with red liquid, sparkled in the light of the Italian crystalmp. The scent of the food blended with the aroma of wine in the air, making ones mouth water. By now, Qu Yunyao was getting extremely hungry. Ever since the news of her pregnancy had been revealed, she had stopped controlling her appetite, which had subsequently increased, especially now that it was past seven in the evening Xiao Yebai had left to call Mo Weiyi about half an hour ago, and they had been sitting and waiting for nearly the same amount of time. Qu Yunyao sped her hands together, ncing at the head seat. The old man of the Mo family was closing his eyes in rest. As for the other three, they were engaged in casual conversation. After nearly another ten minutes, Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, Aunt Zhou, can you go check on Yebai and Weiyi? Why are they keeping our guests waiting for so long? Yes No worries. Xu Rui hastily said, We can wait, Yebai may be upied with important matters. Nheless, Mo Yaoxiong still insisted, Hurry them up. Aunt Zhou nodded and hurriedly went to call them. Meanwhile, Mo Yaoxiong began to inquire, You mentioned earlier that the wedding date is set for next year? Isnt that toote?
    Xu Rui and Qu Yunyao exchanged a look, hastily smiling and saying, Yunyao and I have discussed this. Well get the wedding license first; the ceremony can happenter. After all, one only gets married once. My parents dont want to rush it either, so they wont make Yunyao ufortable. Otherwise, Yunyao would me me in the future. Xu Jing piped in, How could she? Given the current situation, I think Mom. Qu Yunyao cut her off, I dont want to rush into a wedding. Ive talked to my inws and weve agreed to have the baby first. Well consider the wedding on Valentines Day next year. Xu Jing was unhappy.
    A hasty wedding is better than parading around with a swollen belly, right? Theyre currently staying at the Mos as guests. Each day, her daughter walks about the courtyard with her big belly. Its improper, and how would it look to the servants and outsiders? I dont want to rush the wedding. This has been agreed upon by me, Xu Rui, and my inws. Qu Yunyao reiterated. Xu Rui agreed with a smile, Yes, I respect Yunyaos wishes too. After those words, in front of the father and son of the Mo family, Xu Jing couldnt say anything more. Although, she still felt ufortable inside. She took a deep breath, Then, arrange for me and your parents to meet sometime. Xu Rui blinked, Well Under the table, Qu Yunyao gave a hard twist to his thigh. Caught by a sudden pain, Xu Rui hurriedly said, Auntie, Im sorry. My parents are not in the country recently. After they return, Ill arrange the meeting immediately. Hearing this, Xu Jing felt even more ufortable, and her face reflected her discontent. Chapter 420: 420, Mo Family Anniversary Celebration Chapter 420: Mo Family Anniversary Celebration Aunt Zhou arrived at the Southern Mansion, found no one on the first floor, and began to head towards the second floor. The bedroom door was ajar, it hadnt been properly closed. She walked up to it, bowed her head, and knocked lightly, Young Master Xiao, Princess, the Master called you for dinner. No one responded. As Aunt Zhou was about to knock again, she suddenly heard a woman let out a gasp from inside. A moment of surprise passed, then she instantly understood what was happening. Respecting the privacy of others is important. She turned to leave, but then Aunt Zhou, having been working in the Mo family for so many years, she knows what youre doing. But
    Let them wait a bit longer. The mans voice was low and husky, filled with a touch of rare mirth. The womans tone was soft and flirtatious Both were distinctly audible through the substantial gap in the door. Aunt Zhous face flushed deeply, and she quickly left the ce, descending the stairs. She knew the young couple was passionate about each other, but she never expected this at dinner time. Always schrly and calm, who would have thought that Young Master Xiao, in private, was so clingy? May Buddha have mercy. Such is life. After getting some fresh air outside, Aunt Zhou went back to the dining room, only to face Mo Yaoxiongs questioning, Where are Yiyi and Yebai? Her face reddened in embarrassment again. She lowered her head and replied, Young Master Xiao said to wait a little longer. They should be ready soon. Thats exactly what Young Master Xiao had said. After another ten minutes, Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi finally came downstairs. They were both still wearing the same clothes. Xiao Yebai maintained his usual expressionless face, while Mo Weiyi had a subtle blush on her cheeks. The old Master Mo didnt say anything, and Mo Yaoxiong didnt mind. Dinner started. In the midst of the dinner, Qu Yunyao raised her head casually, and was suddenly struck dumb. Because she had clearly spotted a mark on Xiao Yebais neck His skin was fair, the red mark sat ringly at his neck, impossible to ignore. He was sitting directly opposite her, holding a wine ss. Every time he drank, it was all too noticeable.
    If it were in the past, she would have thought of Xiao Yebai as a calm, collected, elegant gentleman like any other woman. But after observing him carefully on several asions, she increasingly felt that this mans private persona was vastly different from his public image. More than once she had seen marks all over Mo Weiyis neck, corbones This time, he had even left a mark on his own neck.
    Just how wild must their private life be for Mo Weiyi to give as good as she gets? Yunyao, Yunyao? Xu Jing fiercely nudged Qu Yunyaos arm. Xiao Yebai, who was seated opposite, lifted his gaze and met her eyes. Stared upon by his deep, cold eyes, Qu Yunyao finally snapped back to her senses. What are you daydreaming about? Your uncle is asking you something. Qu Yunyao quickly turned her gaze towards Mo Yaoxiong, Uncle. Mo Yaoxiong said, Last time we both mentioned it, next weekend, both you and Xu Rui shoulde to Mo Groups annual celebration at Huashang. Qu Yunyao quickly extended her gratitude with a smile, Thank you, Uncle. Xu Rui also profusely thanked, Thank you Chairman Mo, thank you, President Xiao. Mo Yaoxiongughed, Soon, both of you will be legally married, making you family. You need not be so formal. Thrilled and overwhelmed with joy, Xu Rui stood up with his wine ss, Chairman Mo, President Xiao, this toast is to you. They were drinking red wine. Xiao Yebai raised his ss and met Xu Rui, slowly savoring his drink. This forting weekend marked the 50th anniversary of the Mo Group. This year was different from the past. The entire event was delegated to a professional event managementpany. Not only had invitations been sent to local aristocrats and business partners in Nancheng and well-known political figures, but they had also hired top-tier hosts from national media, popr stars, idol artists for guest performances. They had even bought live broadcast rights from several TV stations and inte tforms.
    Such an unprecedented grand function would be an ideal asion to aplish some tasks. Qu Yunyao sipped her tea and smiled gently, ncing at the man drinking across from her. A swift hint of malice and satisfaction shed in her eyes. ** It was the old mans birthday, everyone had naturally prepared presents to offer congrattions on his long life. The gifts from Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi were a set of tea sets, bearing the pattern of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It was delivered the day before and the old man had already begun using it, showing his adoration of the gift. Deliberate in their selection, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui handpicked a set of writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and ink bs as they knew the old man enjoyed the refined art of academia and would often hide in the study to practice calligraphy when he had spare time. Others, in turn, presented their gifts. Until it was Xu Jings turn. Sir, I heard from your doctor that youve been having problems with your legs. Given the cold weather and the damp, cold climate of Nancheng, I personally knitted these kneepads for you. Though they might not look appealing, they are genuinely warm. My skills are rudimentary, so I made them based on designs online, I hope you wont reject them. The old Sir Mo didnt expect such a considerate gesture from her. In this day and age, the ability to make things by hand is precious, especially considering Xu Jings arm had only recently healed. Mo Yaoxiong also spoke up, You really shouldnt have gone through so much trouble, it wouldve sufficed to have a servant make it. I just feel that Yunyao and I have been living here for almost half a year now, and I feel guilty for imposing on you all. Xu Jings statement took a sudden turn, I n on hunting for a ce outside starting tomorrow, to move out as soon as possible with Yunyao.
    Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Because it was too sudden. But Xu Jing had already decided in her heart. Having been here for so long, living off the Mo family, she felt insecure. On one hand, she always felt it unjust for a widowed mother and daughter to live here C and especially after Qu Yunyao got pregnant, there were a few times when she overheard the servants gossiping in hushed tones. Their chatter was mostly focused on how the older woman was divorced and unwanted by any men, while the younger one was unwed with a child whose father is unknown, hence the saying, a crooked beam holds up a crooked house. Xu Jing was a woman with strong self-esteem. She wasntfortable hearing these remarks but she had no position to scold the servants. On the other hand, Qu Yunyao was already three months pregnant. She originally nned to move out once her daughter married into the Xiu Family, but she didnt anticipate that the wedding would be dyed until next year, after the birth of the baby. Given the circumstances, was she expected to witness Qu Yunyao, with her growing belly, aimlessly living here for the next few months? Her daughter was naive, but as a mother, she couldnt stand being ridiculed by the servants behind their backs. Auntie. Mo Weiyi was the first to speak up, Are you nning to move out? What about Yunyao She looked at Qu Yunyao, her face had lost all its color. Mom, if we move out, where will we stay?
    Nancheng is big, surely there would be a ce for us to stay. Dont worry, I receive sry every month. We can find a good ce. You can move in with Xu Rui, and Ill live alone. Xu Ruis face changed instantly. Move in with him? Qu Yunyao quickly interjected, Xu Rui is very busy with work every day, how could he possibly have time to look after me? Mo Weiyi took a look around at everyone and couldnt help butment internally. One moment she gives such a thoughtful gift and the next, she announces her will to move out, this surely cannot be a coincidence. Sure enough, the old master who usually kept out of family matters spoke up, The northern vi is vacant, there are no outsiders in the house, you can live there peacefully without overthinking. Mo Yaoxiong also chimed in, Since dad has already said so, Xu Jing, you and Yunyao should settle down here with ease. She is pregnant and Xu Rui is very busy, who has spare time to take care of her? At least here, shes cared for. Qu Yunyao hurriedly said, Thats right, mom, why the rush? Cant we wait until Ive given birth? Youre showing more and more, if we continue like this, people will gossip Xu Jing wanted to continue but stopped herself. Mo Yaoxiong immediately asked, Has a servant been talking indiscriminately? The faces of a few servants on standby suddenly flushed with tension. Thats absurd! Mo Yaoxiong mmed the chopsticks onto the table, You are Xu Xians sister, Yiyis aunt. This house is empty anyway. If someone is gossiping, tell me, and Ill have them dismissed immediately! The old Sir Mo was displeased, Rece the servants in the northern wing immediately. Sir, thats not what I Xu Jing protested nervously. Yet, the old man had already stood up, Yiyi,e with me. Alright. Mo Weiyi nced at Xiao Yebai and followed the old man out. ** Yiyi. Inside the bedroom, Sir Mo looked warmly at his beautiful granddaughter, How have you been feelingtely? Is there anything ufortable? No. Really? Nothing at all? Mo Weiyi shook her head. Sir Mos face fell with disappointment. Soon, he asked again, I heard from Auntie Zhou that youve been studying exhaustively every day, waking up early and returningte, sometimes even skipping breakfast. Tell me honestly, has that boy Yebai put some aphrodisiac spell on you again? Chapter 421: 421, English Textbook Chapter 421: English Textbook No, not at all. Mo Weiyi walked over to the couch and sat down. Putting her arm around her grandfathers, she gazed up at him with a youthful innocence. Why arent you happy that your granddaughter finally wants to seriously study? The old man chuckled, As long as youre happy, Yiyi, Im happy. He didnt have any other requests for his only granddaughter other than her safety, health, and happiness. All he ever wanted was for her to have a man who loved her deeply, but this Xiao Yebai He decided to be upfront, Yiyi, your grandpa wants to hold a great-grandchild. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, ck and white eyes, and said with some embarrassment, But Grandpa, I am now Her grandfather immediately responded, So, you should discuss with Yebai and try to have a baby as soon as possible, okay? For a man, a child could sometimes be the strongest tie holding a family together. Just like Mo Yaoxiong back in the days. He used to be a wild one, even close to divorce once. However, because Xu Xian suddenly got pregnant and gave birth to their adorable daughter Mo Weiyi, he returned to his family to fulfil his responsibilities. I do want to get pregnant. Mo Weiyi sighed. She really was trying hard to learn English, but
    Disheartening herself every time. She barely touched her first and second year courses, resulting in her having a terrible foundation in English. With less than a month left for the exam, the mere thought made her feel doomed. Is Yebai refusing? Not waiting for Mo Weiyi to answer, the old man snorted, That mischievous boy, I knew it, he cant have good intentions. Grandpa, what are you imagining? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her perfect brow and looked at him speechless. Xiaobai thinks Im still young and still studying. He wants to wait until I graduate before we consider having children. He better mean what he says. The old man replied and coughed a few times. Grandpa, why are you coughing again? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her face in concern, patting his back in a soothing rhythm. Sigh. The grandfather sighed, Forget about studies. But my health isnt good now, and I hope you can have a baby soon. So, in case I one day What are you talking about? Mo Weiyi cut him off right away. Youre in such good shape, what do you mean by leave? Youll definitely live a long life! Hearing his granddaughters remarks, he couldnt help butugh, Silly girl. No one can literally live a century. He was almost eighty-five, and his physical condition made it obvious. As he got older, he had to ept his fate. Every winter, he felt on the brink of death. Especially during the recent rain in Nancheng, the damp atmosphere made his joint ache unbearably When he was young, he had too many enemies and had too much blood on his hands. To have lived to such an age, he was already more than satisfied. If there was anything he couldnt let go, it was his granddaughter, Mo Weiyi. He was afraid that the sins hemitted when he was young would catch up to her. So since his retirement, he had been devoutly religious, making donations to charities every year, and the Mo family even set up their own charity foundation. From the day Mo Weiyi was born, he employed a group of strong bodyguards for her. The one assigned to Mo Weiyi, Rong An, was the best and most capable of them. Fortunately, over the years, apart from being kidnapped once when she was three, and the recent issue with Song Quan, Mo Weiyi had been safe and sound. Because of this, though, Mo Weiyi developed a naive, simple, and enthusiastic character. The most obvious example was her love at first sight for Xiao Yebai. She had remained steadfast for a decade, but that Xiao Yebai He had lived for more than eighty years. He was a man who tasted love as well. He knew that if a man truly cared for a woman, his eyes wouldnt look like that. This was why he had always been suspicious and critical of Xiao Yebai all these years. The old man sighed deeply. * * When Mo Weiyi returned to the living room, everyone had left.
    She went directly to the Southern Mansion and, sure enough, in the bedroom, Xiao Yebai had already packed her bag. Mo Weiyi didnt think much about it. She left the vi with him and got into the car to go home. When they arrived at Lishui Bay, after taking a shower, Mo Weiyi saw that there was still some time. She wanted to find her English textbook to continue reviewing, but then she realized
    Xiaobai, did you lose my English textbook? Xiao Yebai came out of the bathroom, dressed in a clean and elegant home outfit, What English textbook? The one that was on the floor. Thats not mine, its Ling Zhizhous. I specifically had him annotate it for me So it was indeed a mans book. Xiao Yebai spoke indifferently, You dropped it on the ground. Mo Weiyi: She blinked her clear eyes, So you didnt pick it up for me? When she woke up, the book was on the floor, she wanted to pick it up, but then Xiaobai suddenly Whimper, men are so misleading! Mo Weiyi really took her hat off to her piggy brain! She quickly found her phone, Ill call Uncle Shi and ask him to send it over for
    1. I still have to review with Ling Zhizhou tomorrow.1
    Reviewing together? Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes and sat down on the sofa, picking up the tablet. The call connected quickly, Mo Weiyi finished her instruction, then she also came to sit down beside the sofa with her bag.
    Staring at the calm and serious profile of the man, she leaned in with a pleasing face, and said carefully, Xiaobai, Mr. Chen is noting tonight, there are a few problems I cant solve, can you exin them to me? Xiao Yebai looked up, his eyes lingering on her through his spectacles. Who me? Yes, youre so smart, the third-year courses will definitely not trouble you. When it came to English, Mo Weiyi had full trust in her brainy husband. After all, he studied at the American Institute for five years and could speak sevennguages. English was a piece of cake for him, right? She took out the assignment that Chen Jin had set for her the day before from her bag, and then pushed it towards him somewhat timidly. I dont know how to do these problems. Xiao Yebai took the paper with his slender hands and looked at the handwriting Did you write all of these? Mo Weiyi immediately leaned in. A soft voice rang in his ear, These were written by Mr. Chen, and the fill-ins were done by me. And yet all of them were Marked with red crosses! Xiao Yebai cornered his lips and said indifferently, I was just about to praise you, your problem-solving isnt good, but at least your handwriting is decent. In other words, theres nothing left to praise now. Mo Weiyi bit her lip and looked at him pitifully, Just as she was considering whether she should bite him, Xiao Yebais deep and pleasant voice rang again, For this question, the meaning of this letter is Mo Weiyi immediately listened carefully.
    After Xiao Yebai exined it all once, she nodded, So thats how it is. He really is a study god. He exined it once, it was simple and easy to understand, and she got it. Next, Xiao Yebai began to exin the second problem. Mo Weiyi nodded repeatedly as she listened. After he finished exining the remaining problems, Mo Weiyi pped her hands, admiring him, Wow, why do I understand instantly when you exin the problem, Xiaobai? Is it because opposites attract? Xiao Yebai put the textbook down with a poker face, Alright, I need to check my reports now. However, Mo Weiyi pulled out her own English textbook again and went over to him, Xiaobai, could you exin this one to me again? Xiao Yebai moved his gaze from the tablet to her beaming little face, pursed his lips, his eyes were cold. Obviously, he felt disturbed. Ohe on, Xiaobai, just help me out. I get it instantly when you exin, honest! Nice Xiaobai, youre the best. Mo Weiyi kept coaxing him. Seeing that Xiao Yebai remained unmoved, she boldly moved closer.
    Xiao Yebais eyes dimmed slightly, he finally raised his hand, took the practice problems from her and threw them to the side. But her phone suddenly rang. Mo Weiyis heart pounded fiercely, but the man left very quickly. Apanying this was his deep, subdued voice, Answer the phone. Chapter 422: 422, the waste has been thrown away Chapter 422: the waste has been thrown away Oh. Mo Weiyis cheeks were flushed, he took a few breaths before reaching out for the mobile phone on the tea table, Shi Bo. What? You cant find it? How is it not there? Mo Weiyi instantly furrowed his brows, It fell on the floor near the sofa, search the area. Alright then. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai with a troubled expression, Its over, Xiaobai, I lost Ling Zhizhous textbook. Xiao Yebai had already regained his usual calm and indifference, Maybe it was too damaged, and the maid thought it was waste and threw it away. Waste? Mo Weiyi frowned, But thats the textbook Ling Zhizhou lent to me, its his freshman textbook. Xiao Yebai looked at her, He lent you his freshman textbook? Yes! Someone kindly lent me their textbook and I lost it. Behind his sses, his deep ck eyes moved slightly, then Xiao Yebais voice
    rang out, Since its like this, he should forgive you. Mo Weiyi was thrown into chaos. This wasnt a matter of forgiveness, okay! Before she could think about it more, Xiao Yebai stood up directly, Its getting Mo Weiyi: ** The following morning, there were no sses at the school. Mo Weiyi had Uncle Liu drive him back to the old house. As a result, after searching the bedroom of the Southern Mansion, he couldnt find the English textbook. Mo Weiyi found it utterly inconceivable, the textbook was so thick and it wasnt that tattered, how could it have been lost? He hastily called the maid who was cleaning the room. Auntie Yang, have you seen my English textbook? I didnt see it. I clearly left it on the floor, you didnt really see it? Did you throw it away without thinking? Princess, I really didnt see any English textbook. Mo Weiyi: This was truly strange. **
    The vi next door. Qu Yunyao had just woken up ande downstairs when Xu Jing was already preparing to leave. Seeing her daughter, she said, Yunya, Ive found a house. Ahouse?
    Yes. Xu Jing took out her mobile phone, opened a photo, This one. Ive been looking at houses these past few days, I just finalized it with the agency of this property, now Im going to sign the contract with them. The house isnt big, but its a two-bedroom apartment, its enough for us to live in, and its quite close to Xu Ruis studio, Ill hire a maidter Im not moving! Qu Yunyao suddenly interrupted her, Mom, are you out of your mind? What did you say? Qu Yunyao looked at Xu Jing speechlessly, Were living sofortably here, we have food, we have a ce to stay, we have maids to wait on us, and we even have drivers to transport us. Why should we move? I cant work now that Im pregnant, how much do you earn a month? After the divorce, you left without a penny, you didnt even have alimony. What are you going to use to pay the rent? Can you afford the rent? Xu Jings face turned ugly. In any case, Im not moving, Im going to live here, if you want to move, move by yourself! Qu Yunyao crossed her arms, and sat down on the sofa. Xu Jing was stunned for a moment. She had always considered her daughter to be quite obedient, howe she became more and more rebellious after getting pregnant? Yunya, youre pregnant now, it really isnt suitable for you to live here. Youre okay now, but once your belly slowly grows, wont you feel that it has a bad influence? Do you know what the maids are saying about us? They say we are a pitiful single mother and child, and they also say that you got pregnant out of wedlock, and are not mindful of your actions Before she could finish speaking, Qu Yunyao suddenly shouted, Xiaohong! Xiaohong! Xiaohong,e here! The maid that was cleaning nearby quickly ran over, with a feather duster in her hand, Miss, Xiaohong has already been transferred.
    After Xu Jing said those words during dinnerst night, Mo Yaoxiong had the maids here switched. Then Qu Yunyao said, Bring Xiaohong to me. Yunya, what are you trying to do? Mom, dont intervene. Qu Yunyao yelled at the maid, Are you deaf? Hurry up! The maid was startled and quickly put down the feather duster to go call Xiaohong. Soon, Xiaohong was brought in. When she arrived, she looked nervously at Qu Yunyao, Miss, what do you need me for Ah! Qu Yunyao pped her hard, her elegant face was distorted with aggression, Shameless slut, what did you say behind my back? Huh! Xiaohong covered her face, in pain, scared, and wronged, she could only deny, Miss, I didnt say anything bad about you, I really didnt Ah! Another p came down. You dare argue back! Qu Yunyao picked up the feather duster the maid had hastily put down and fiercely hit Xiaohong, Youre just a maid, yet you dare to say Im unscrupulous? Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to talk about me, huh! Yunya, have you gone mad? Stop it Xu Jing hurriedly tried to pull her back. But Qu Yunyao was like a lunatic, continuously hitting with the feather duster more than a dozen times, then she threw it on the ground with a tter, Get out!
    Xiaohong ran out of the vi crying, and as she rounded the corner, she saw Mo Weiyiing out from the opposite vi. Her eyes lit up, she hastily ran over crying, Princess, wuu wuu wuu Mo Weiyi looked up and was almost scared, What happened? How did you get hurt like this? Xiaohongs eyes were red and swollen from crying, her hair was a mess, her cheeks showed obvious handprints, and there were red marks on her forehead. At first nce, she looked like she had been abused. Chapter 423: 423, are you pursuing Mo Weiyi? Chapter 423: are you pursuing Mo Weiyi? Princess, Miss Qu just called me over and hit me. She said I was badmouthing her behind her back, but I didnt say anything Princess, you have to stand up for me, wuu wuu wuu Xiaohong is in her twenties this year. She has only been helping out at the old house for two years. Although Mo Weiyi doesnt spend much time at home, she knows that this granddaughter is the one her grandfather loves the most. If anyone asked who was in charge of this household, the answer would surely be the Little Princess. Sure enough, Mo Weiyis pretty face darkened immediately. This Qu Yunyao, is she crazy? How dare she bully the servants behind my back. Does she think shes the master now? Come with me! Xiaohong quickly followed her, still crying. Northern Vi. In the living room, Xu Jing was still reprimanding Qu Yunyao. Hearing Mo Weiyis voice, she stood up quickly. Seeing Xiaohong behind her, her heart dropped. Auntie. Mo Weiyi stood there, looking at Qu Yunyao who was sitting on the sofa. I have seen a servant being beaten, so I came to find out what is going on. Yiyi, Im sorry. Xu Jing immediately apologized. It was Yunyao who was wrong. She She was feeling unwell just now, and she took it out on the servant. Yunyao, is that so? Mo Weiyi raised her chin, arching her eyebrows.
    Clearly, she didnt believe it. Therefore, Qu Yunyao got up from the sofa, bit her lip, and cautiously came over to apologize. Sister Yiyi, it was all my fault. I shouldnt have vented my anger on the servants. My mother has already scolded me, and I know I was wrong. After speaking, she looked at Xiaohong, her tone was even more sincere. Xiaohong, Im sorry, I didnt mean to p you. Can you forgive me? Mo Weiyi: Xiaohong was also stunned, having never expected that Miss Qu could change her face so quickly. She was so arrogant in private, but in front of Mo Weiyi, she pretended to be a sweet little rabbit. Yiyi. Xu Jingughed pleasantly. Yunyao is young and naive, and she is pregnant now It was my fault just now, I couldnt hold her back. Please dont be angry. All of Mo Weiyis anger seemed to have nowhere to vent. She raised her chin, her voice clear. Since I let you and my aunt stay here, you are my guests. If there is any problem, just go to Uncle Shi. If it really is the servants negligence or misconduct, Uncle Shi will discipline them. You dont need to do it yourselves, nor are you qualified to hit the Mo familys servants. Xu Jing looked ufortable. Yet Qu Yunyao was still smiling, I understand, Sister Yiyi. I dont understand the rules here. When you have time,e back more often and teach me. Mo Weiyi gave her a look and turned to leave. ** By the time she got to school and was walking in front of the academic building, she received a call from Mo Yaoxiong. Weiyi, did you say something to Yunyao just now? What did she tell you? Mo Weiyiughed, if Qu Yunyao really was badmouthing her behind her back, then She didnt say anything, just that she wants to move out with Xu Jing. Mo Yaoxiong sighed, But I heard from the servants that you were at home this morning and had a little unpleasantness with her? Mo Weiyi immediately recounted the whole incident. Finally she said, Dad, since they want to move out, let them. Youve let them stay at home for half a year, isnt that benevolent enough? Isnt Aunties arm already healed? Plus, she is the one who said she wanted to move out. Why are you still worried? I understand now, you pay attention to your ss. After saying that, Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone. Mo Weiyi puffed up her cheeks. As soon as she stowed away her mobile phone, her shoulder was tapped from behind. When she turned around, she saw Ling Zhizhou standing behind her. He was tall and looked clean. The sunlight behind him cast a shadow on him, making him seem as if he was bathing in the light. Even the smile on his face was warm and sunny.
    Hi senior, what a coincidence. Ling Zhizhou smiled happily, but Mo Weiyi was immediately a bit uneasy. Ling Zhizhou, Im sorry about the textbook you lent me yesterday I don t have an English ss for a week, keep using it. Ling Zhizhou readily said. Mo Weiyi was embarrassed. What I meant to say is, I think I lost your textbook.
    LingZhizhou: Im sorry, I found my freshman year textbook. Can you use it instead? Mo Weiyi took out the freshman year textbook she had found at the old house this morning. Its very clean, I havent used it. Ling Zhizhou took the textbook, opened it and saw the words Mo Weiyi written on the title page. The handwriting was masculine, forceful. He quickly closed it. Alright, then Ill use this one of yours. Seeing himugh so happily, Mo Weiyi felt her guilt fade away. Are you going to the reading room this afternoon? I can save you a spot. Ling Zhizhou asked again. Yes. Alright, so two spots again, right? Right. As Mo Weiyi said this, she looked at the time, Im going to ss now. Ill find you in the reading room this afternoon. Okay. Ling Zhizhou waved. Watching Mo Weiyi walk into the ssroom, he lowered his head and picked up the textbook in his hand. He opened it and looked at the three characters inside. The originally innocent and sunny smile on his face gradually disappeared, reced by a cold mockery at the corners of his mouth, as well as the obvious gloom in his eyes.
    Until a girls voice came from beside him, Ling Zhizhou, are you pursuing Mo Weiyi? Ling Zhizhou didnt respond, only closing his book, his expression returning to normal. Chapter 424: 424, Ling Zhizhou Chapter 424: Ling Zhizhou Ling Zhizhou said nothing and just closed his book, his expression back to usual. Ling Zhizhou, do you really not know who she is? Shes Mo Weiyi, the school beauty of our school. In fact, she got married two years ago, and her husband is the president of the Mo Family. You should give up, theres not a single boy in our school who dares to approach her So what? Ling Zhizhou looked at her before turning to leave. So you knew all along? The girl chased after him in surprise. Why are you still pursuing her then? Are you mad? Shes even two years older than you! She wont look at you. Dont be foolish, Ling Zhizhou, Ling Zhizhou? ** The Mo Familys old house. In the living room of the north vi, Qu Yunyao was apologizing. Uncle, Im sorry. Im pregnant now, and sometimes my temper is not good. I might have spoken a bit harshly to Xiaohong. Its only normal for her to grumble about me behind my back. Just now, I lost my temper and pped her, I didnt expect to upset Yiyi Mo Yaoxiong immediately spoke, Yiyi is a bit straightforward with her words. Dont take it to heart. I understand. Qu Yunyao bit her lip, But it is indeed my fault. I shouldnt have pped Xiaohong.
    After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head, a quiver in her voice, But Xiaohong crossed the line. She called my mom a divorcee that nobody wants, said I was pregnant before marriage andcked self-discipline, even said we were freeloading here. I just couldnt hold it in How dare she! As Mo Yaoxiong listened, he grew angrier. He turned to a servant, Get Shi Bo over here. Xu Jings heart lurched. She quickly said, Brother-inw, what are you going to do? Nevermind. Qu Yunyao dabbed away her tears with a tissue. Soon, Shi Bo was called over. Mo Yaoxiong immediately ordered, The one called Xiaohong, tell her to pack up her belongings and leave. Shi Bo nced at the mother-daughter duo and nodded in understanding. Alright. Brother-inw. Xu Jing wanted to talk him out of it, You dont really need to go to such lengths Yes, uncle. Qu Yunyao put in her own two cents, If you fire Xiaohong, Yiyi might me my mother and me for tattling behind her back Yunyao! Xu Jing shouted to stop her. Qu Yunyao bit her lip, looking wronged. Seeing this, Mo Yaoxiong grew even more furious, Keeping a servant who speaks ill of others behind their backs is a disaster. Its none of your business. If Yiyi asks, Ill say it was my decision. Shi Bo nodded and went about his business. Qu Yunyao was pleased with herself and quickly stood up, Mom, lets go look at the house now. Didn t you say we have an appointment with the real estate agent to sign the contract? Xu Jing stared at Qu Yunyao, feeling a sudden change in her daughters demeanor. Just now, she was scolding Xiaohong for wanting to move out, and now Mo Yaoxiong asked, Are you really determined to move out and live on your own? Xu Jing responded, Brother-inw, these past six months, I am sincerely grateful for your and fathers gracious care. Now that I have some savings, and weve found a ce we like, I think its best if we move out. Mom. Qu Yunyao chimed in dutifully, Ive also saved up a little. I can help you cover part of the rent. Seeing their minds were made up, Mo Yaoxiong said, In that case, Ill have the butler arrange a driver to send you thereter
    Uncle. Qu Yunyao interrupted him, Mom and I have only just returned for half a year and were not familiar with the real estate market in Nancheng. Im pregnant and my mom is a weak woman. What if the agent cheats us? She stated her intention, So Uncle, can you apany us? Hearing these words, Xu Jing changed color, Yunyao, what are you talking about? Your uncle is a busy man No problem, I can apany you. Mo Yaoxiong didnt see what was wrong. They were all alone and Qu Yunyao had asked. It wouldnt be too much trouble for him to lend a hand.
    The real estate market in Nancheng was almost in a frenzied state with exorbitant housing prices. Incidents of agents scamming people were frequently reported in the news. Sure enough, upon arriving at the estate agency, the young agent said right away, Ms. Xu, many people are interested in this house. A few days ago, I asked if you wanted to reserve it. You said youd think about it, but now, the price has gone up. How much did it go up? Xu Jing asked. Not much. Its increased by two hundred. That much? Two hundred was not a particrlyrge sum, but when factored into the rent, it came out to be quite significant. It meant paying an extra two hundred every month. That would turn into over two thousand in a year. Furthermore, this money would have to be paid upon signing the contract and the agents fee had to be considered Qu Yunyao also said, You raise the price for no reason. Isnt this cheating? The young manughed, Littledy, youre wrong. The market for this district is verypetitive. Prices change daily. Its the same if you ask any other agency. But my mom had an agreement with you. Isnt this a breach of promise? Your mom didnt make a deposit or sign a contract. Without a fixed price, theres natural fluctuation ording to the market. Isnt it normal? Can you me me? Youre scamming us Lets go. Mo Yaoxiongs brow furrowed, Well take a look at the house first. Qu Yunyao closed her mouth, a displeased look on her face.
    However, once they went to see the house. Mo Yaoxiongs eyebrows immediately furrowed even more, Whats wrong with the ceiling in this house? The young manughed, This can be fixed. This bathroom is too dirty, right? Once the house is booked, we will get it cleaned. This cupboard is too old, isnt it? And there arent enough stools. We can provide those for you too. These windows dont seem strong, and this is the second floor. What if someone jumps in from outside After some back and forth, the young mans face finally darkened, If you want to install burr-proof windows, it will cost extra. In the end, Mo Yaoxiong said, This house is not suitable, its not livable. Qu Yunyao also said, Mom, were you fooled by someone? How can such a run-down house cost eight thousand yuan? Xu Jing: The agencys young man:
    Of course, they returned empty-handed. In the car, Mo Yaoxiong said, If you really want to move out, you can. But you need to take your time in choosing a house, dont rush. Todays house is simply uninhabitable and its unsafe for the two of you to live there. I cant rx my mind, what if something happens, how will I exin it to mom? Listening to this, Qu Yunyao nodded repeatedly, Mom, lets take Uncle Mos advice and take our time, okay? At this point, Xu Jing could only nod as well, Alright then. ** This careful search ended up taking over a week. As Xu Jing had to teach at school, she didnt have much time to go house hunting. Plus, Mo Yaoxiong was busy, and Qu Yunyao was pregnant and couldn t overwork herself. During this time, Mo Weiyi was busy reviewing his lessons every day and didnt have time to get involved with the old house. Even more so with Xiao Yebai, who was busy preparing for thepanys anniversary. One morning, after the English ss was over. Su Wanwan looked at the time, Lunch, or the reading room? Mo Weiyi packed up his things, Tonight I have to attend thepanys anniversary, so I need to try on the formal dress. Oh.
    Arent you attending with Huosboss? Mo Weiyi asked, Have you tried the dress? He asked me to wait for his call. Oh. Mo Weiyi had just finished packing his bag when Su Wanwans phone rang. She heard Su Wanwan say, Now? Okay. Having hung up, Mo Weiyi immediately said, Great, I wont wait for uncle Liu now, Ill go with you guys. Ok. The two young girls left the ssroom, talking andughing. One was cute and sweet, the other was elegant and pleasant C one was the school flower, the other, the top girl in their department. Even in their thick winter clothes, they quickly attracted the attention of the students. Already, someone tried to strike a conversation. Wait elder sister, wait a moment! Su Wanwan turned around and saw Ling Zhizhou running over. There were two male students standing behind him, likely his ssmates. When he arrived, he handed over a book, Elder sister, this is a book I just borrowed from the library, may it be of use to you? It was a book called New Oriental University English Secret. I heard this set of courses is really hard to borrow, so I asked the librarian to keep an eye out for it. I finally managed to get it and rushed to deliver it to you. Mo Weiyi was overjoyed, Of course its useful, thank you so much! Ive been trying to borrow it for a long time. Ling Zhizhou smiled, Since its useful, then go ahead and use it. Im going to have lunch with my ssmates. Okay, goodbye. When Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan said, hinting at something, This junior, seems to be particrly good to you. Chapter 425: 425, Show off Love Chapter 425: Show off Love Once Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan hinted, This younger schoolmate seems particrly good to you. Reserving a seat every day, helping her review, and even proactively lending books wasnt he the least bit too enthusiastic? Mo Weiyi was full of smiles, People cant help being nice to me because Im beautiful. Maybe hes moved by my beauty. Su Wanwan: Reaching the school gate and waiting for a while, Huo Jingshens car arrived. Once she sat in the car and saw Huo Jingshens obviously tight expression, Mo Weiyi greeted sweetly, Hello, Mr. Huo. Which shop are you nning to go to try on the ceremonial dress? Huo Jingshen nced at her through the rearview mirror and opened his thin lips, Wherever youre going Where youre going, we wont go there. Who knew that Mo Weiyi would cheerfully answer, Whichever ce you go to, Ill go there. Huo Jingshen:
    Anyway, no matter which high-end custom dress shop in Nancheng she goes to, she has a card, so it doesnt matter which one she goes to this was what Mo Weiyi was thinking. Arriving at the international mall, Huo Jingshen took the two youngdies to the high-end dress area on the top floor. Finally, they entered a familiar shop. The manager personally greeted them. Havinge here twice with Su Wanwan before, Huo Jingshen naturally was recognized. What was even more surprising was that the Mo Familys Little Princess had alsoe. He immediately called all the clerks in the shop to greet them, and grandly weed the three of them into the high-end VIP area. They had the manner of everyone vying to wait on them. After the salesperson introduced the dresses till they were tongue-tied, Huo Jingshen finally said, This one. It was a long lotus pink dress. The hem swayed to the ground, the skirt was somewhat fluffy, and the lines of the petals were faintly visible under ayer of white gauze. It looked ethereal and captivating. The salesperson immediatelyughed and said, Mr. Huo has great taste. This dress has been hanging here for three months, and it is a piece from the same series that Mrs. Huo worest time. Both are works by French master TURRY. This color and style, ordinary people would not dare to try, but mrs Huo s exceptional beauty and demeanor certainly wont be a problem. Su Wanwan was terribly embarrassed. Todays salespeople really know how to tter. They use the technique of initially praising then belittling, arent they afraid that shell put it onter and itll look unsuitable? Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, Baby, go try it. Su Wanwan had no choice but to go to the dressing room with the salesperson. Not long after, she wore the dress and came out, and the salespeople began to praise her tirelessly. Mrs. Huo looks really beautiful in this dress! Yes, this color really suits Mrs. Huo! Mrs. Huos figure is really great. Mr. Huos taste is so good.
    No one dislikespliments, Su Wenwen was slightly floating with pride when praised, and Huo Jingshen also raised one of his eyebrows, obviously very satisfied. When Su Wanwan came to the dressing mirror, she turned around and saw the back of the dress.
    Huo Jingshens originally fairly pleasant face suddenly turned gloomy. No wonder they said her figure was good. This dress looks very ethereal,dylike, and goddess-like from the front, but the back holds a secret. Arge piece of the dress had been hollowed out, revealing her whole beautiful back, and not only that, it revealed her waist as well and one could even see the two small indentations at her waist. At this time, Mo Weiyi also came over, and Su Wanwan immediately asked her, Weiyi, does it look good? It looks great! Mo Weiyi nodded like pounding garlic, Looking just at the front, it appears innocent and cute like a little white rabbit, but looking at the back, wow, its simply a seductive little fairy! Change to another one. Huo Jingshen cut in abruptly. Su Wanwan frowned, Why change it? I think its beautiful. Mo Weiyi also nodded, Yes, baby Wanwans figure is so good, its a pity not to show it. Huo Jingshen gave her a sidelong nce, Go pick out your own clothes. Mo Weiyi stuck out her tongue and continued to go choose clothes. Really now.
    All men are the same, in private theyre very open-minded, but in public, they still dont like their wives wearing revealing clothes. Once Mo Weiyi left, Huo Jingshen stepped forward and hugged Su Wanwan from behind. In the huge dressing mirror, a tall man in a suit and leather shoes stood behind her, his voice low as he said, This is too revealing. Looking at the image of the two of them in the mirror, Su Wanwan felt inexplicably shy, Its okay, it only reveals a little in the back. The salespeople next to them were still watching. Her face was a little red. Huo Jingshen hugged her tighter and said, If babe really likes this one, you can buy it and wear it at home in front of your husband. Su Wanwan: Buy it to wear in front of him alone? Forget it then, its a waste of money. This stinking man. There are so many people standing beside us. She was just about to push him away when
    Do you guys have to disy your affection like this? Thats Mo Weiyis voice, both petnt and irate, Cant you just consider my feelings! She had just picked a red dress and wanted her best friend to give her advice, but she saw the two hugging tightly as soon as she walked over. Unbelievable! Su Wanwan quickly pushed Huo Jingshen away. Compared to her blushing embarrassment, Huo Jingshen was perfectlyposed, even ncing at Mo Weiyi with a hint of reproach before turning to leave. At this time, the waiter brought another dress of the same color series. However, the style of this one was much more conservativepared to the other dress. Mrs. Huo, why dont you try this one? The two of them went to change into the dresses, and came back out once they were dressed. Looking at the Little Princess in a red dress, shining brilliantly, Su Wanwan asked her, Wheres your Xiaobai? He sent a message earlier, said he wille soon. Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, very satisfied with the dress. Her skin was fair, her appearance bright, and this kind of bright red was very suitable for her, especially for an asion like todays. As thedy of the house, wearing this red could not be more fitting. However, when Huo Jingshen came out in a fine tailored mens ck suit, Mo Weiyi felt like she was witnessing another disy of affection.
    Because Huo Jingshen said, Baby, help me pick a tie. Ignoring the teasing looks from the waiter, Su Wanwan coughed twice, You choose it yourself, I dont know what color you like. You dont know what color I like? Su Wanwan: How would she know? Usually, its just ck, white, and gray, and the tie seems to be a dark color? She still went over and picked out a tie with a dark pattern from the row, How about this one? Good taste. After Huo Jingshen finished speaking, his brows raised slightly, Baby, help me put it on. Su Wanwan said, I dont knowhow. Let hubby teach you. Huo Jingshen said, grabbing Su Wanwans wrist and pulling her in front of him. He took the tie, slightly bowed his head, and first tied it under the cor of the white shirt. Then he gripped Su Wanwans little hand, First this way, then this way, tuck it in, pull tight, harder Su Wanwan felt like a puppet on strings. Most importantly, there were several people avidly watching from the side Finally, she tied it and let out a breath of relief. Did you learn it? Huo Jingshen looked at the girl in front of him, smiling. Su Wanwan felt her face heating up, Its too difficult, cant you just tie it yourself next time. Practice makes perfect, well practice more in the future. But Ahhhhhhhhhh! A sudden shrill scream from a woman startled Su Wanwan. Mo Weiyi was standing there, her small fists clenched, threateningly saying, I cant stand you two anymore! Im going out to call Xiaobai! Humph! Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen: * * Mo Weiyi took her phone outside and dialed Xiao Yebais number. The call was quickly answered. Weiyi. Hearing the mans clear and cold voice, Mo Weiyi pouted sadly, Xiaobai, when can youe? Youll have to wait for a while longer, help me pick out a suit, 111e straight over tonight. Youre onlying tonight? Mo Weiyi frowned, Will it be toote? No. Mens dressing was not asplicated as womens. Once the clothes were selected, they just needed to put them on. Unlike women, who had to choose clothes, jewelry, shoes, coordinate them and do makeup and styling. Mo Weiyi knew this, but because Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan were still inside, especially when Huo Jingshen kept calling her baby, she inevitably felt envious. Cant youe a bit earlier, she pleaded in a soft, coquettish voice, Xiaobai, Im so bored here by myself. Chapter 426: 426, Always Together Chapter 426: Always Together Cant youe over earlier? She whined softly, Im so bored here all alone. I have to apany grandpa to meet the heads of the branches soon, I cant getaway. Todays anniversary celebration is huge. As the founder of the Mo Group, old Master Mo ceremoniously attends. Mo Weiyi can only say, Alright then,e over when youre free. Ill help you pick out a dress. Ok. After hanging up the phone, a woman passes by pushing the door to enter. Feeling that the figure seemed familiar, as Mo Weiyi walked into the store, he heard the salesperson at the counter saying, Secretary Shi, this is the dress that Mr. Chu has reserved. Alright, thank you. Shi Huan picked up the bag and turned to leave. ** Nangong Hospital.
    Shi Huan rushed back to the ward and put down the bag, Mr. Chu, here is the dress you requested. On the hospital bed, Chu Xiuhuang nced at her, Did you try it on? What? The dress, didnt you try it on? Chu Xiuhuang asked again. Shi Huan blinked, This dress is For tonights Mo Group anniversary celebration, naturally, the dress is for you. Mr. Chu, I dont need it. No, you do. Shi Huan: Didnt I tell you before? When you attend public asions, you naturally represent the image of Huangyou. Shi Huan nodded, Alright. Anyway, hes hospitalized, whether she wears it or not, he wont be able to see. But then Chu Xiuhuang said, Try it on now. No need, Shi Huan immediately refused, I just checked the size. Hmm, does it fit well? Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow. Having held her three times, and having seen her in a swimsuit, Chu Xiuhuang was confident in his estimates. The only thing he hadnt measured was Chu Xiuhuangs pair of phoenix eyes sneakily looked at Shi Huan. From the bikini she was wearing that day, she didnt seem overwhelmingly busty, but she should look pretty nice. Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu?
    Chu Xiuhuang hurriedly came back to his senses. Shi Huan frowned, What are you looking at? She lowered her head to check. Wondering if she had gotten her clothes dirty.
    But there was nothing. Chu Xiuhuang turned his face away, his Adams apple suspiciously bobbing up and down a few times, as if suppressing some emotion. Shi Huans brows furrowed even tighter. She lowered her head to check again. She noticed nothing wrong with her outfit, it was a ck high cor sweater, and it was a loose fit too. Finally, Chu Xiuhuang turned his face back and asked seriously, Hows thepanys business going recently? Shi Huans eye twitched violently. He is actually concerned about thepanys business? Hm? Chu Xiuhuangs phoenix eyes narrowed. Shi Huan quickly said, Themunication process with Huan Teng ispleted. Ill have the contract brought over tomorrow for Mr. Chu to sign. The resort project with Huo Yuan is ongoing. As for Bingos uing publicity ns Cancel cooperation with Bingo. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted directly. Why? Mr. Zhou from Bingo is a clever man, and the cooperation with Huangyou has been pleasant over the years.
    Chu Xiuhuang impatiently narrowed his eyes again, Director Shen actually tried to take advantage of my injury to molest me, do you think we can continue to cooperate? But if we terminate the contract now, we the breaching party, not only have topensate for the breach of contract, but also all the costs of this event I dont care, terminate the cooperation immediately. Okay. The boss has money to throw around, as a secretary, Shi Huan could only agree. Although she thought the fact that Director Shen molested him was somewhat unbelievable. Next, Shi Huan reported the progress of her work, Chu Xiuhuang listened, time ticked by, everything seemed harmonious. Until the door was suddenly knocked. Shi Huan went to open it. Secretary Shi. It was Chu Xiuhuangs private vis maid, holding arge bag, These are the clothes Mr. Chu needs. Thank you, Auntie Wu. Shi Huan took the bag. Thinking it was a change of clothes, but then Chu Xiuhuang said, Hand it to me. Shi Huan handed it over.
    Chu Xiuhuang opened up the outer cover, revealing a three-piece suit inside. Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand to unbutton the hospital gown he was wearing, quickly removing the top to reveal his bare, well-toned upper body. Shi Huan watched him, seeming a bit stupefied. It wasnt until Chu Xiuhuang undid his belt and then, with his gorgeous thin lips hooked up wickedly, asked, Little Huanhuan, do you like what you see? Shi Huans mind exploded and she quickly turned around. Heh. A mans low chuckle came from behind her. Shi Huan didnt speak again, she heard the rustling sounds from behind her, feeling her face gradually heating up. Chu Xiuhuangs physique Needless to say He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had practiced martial arts for years, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a standard male model figure. Furthermore, he wasnt the pale-skinned type, but he wasnt dark either. He had a very healthy wheatplexion, which bnced out his slightly effeminate facial features. He was wickedly charming, very masculine and gentlemanly. A ranking list of the top ten sexiest men in Nancheng was previously posted on a social media tform, and Chu Xiuhuang, outranking all the male artists, received the most votes. Looking back now, he truly deserved it. An eight-pack abdomen, uniform and good-looking, not too muscr yet not too frail. Even in the loosely fitting hospital gown, you could see that
    Realizing what she was thinking, Shi Huans face suddenly blushed. Having put on his trousers, Chu Xiuhuang picked up a shirt from the side. As he put it on, he watched the young woman in front of him. She stood there with her back to him, her back straight as a rod, her lustrous ck hair reaching only to her shoulders length. It wasnt styled, but the quality was good, shiny and glossy. With his thin lips gently sketching out a trace of an arc, Chu Xiuhuang said, Im ready. Shi Huan didnt turn around. Only when the warmth on her face had finally subsided, she expressionlessly turned around. The next second. Mr. Chu, are you going out? Chu Xiuhuang was actually wearing the three-piece suit, even his tie was neatly tied. Chu Xiuhuang lifted his long brows, Its Mo Groups anniversary celebration, what do you think? But your health Shi Huan couldnt help but nce towards a certain part of the man. He had been hospitalized because of an injury in that area. Was he sure he could go out? Chu Xiuhuang shed a devilish grin, Ive got it covered, as long as it isnt touched. Shi Huan: So Secretary Shi, remember to stick with me every step of the way tonight, Chu Xiuhuang added. Shi Huan replied with a forced smile, Understood. ** At six oclock in the evening, Huashang Hotel. At the hotels entrance on the first floor, a red carpet stretched from the banquet hall all the way to the roadside parking lot. Many stars and artists were invited to help cheer on the event, including several current popr idols. Plus, tonights attendees were all Nanchengs elites, including representatives from several major families. It was a gathering of the grand, with an astounding disy of fanfare. Outside the security barriers, besides fans and onlookers, most of the others were journalists from various media outlets. Even though the cold wind was howling, the on-scene atmosphere was incredibly vibrant. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the celebrities. Shi Huan parked the car and waited for a while. Then she turned to Chu Xiuhuang and asked, Mr. Chu, arent you getting out of the car? Chu Xiuhuangs face was tense. He was not happy. Very unhappy. This woman insisted upon changing into her dress inside the banquet hall and adamantly refused to change into her evening dress right away. Didnt she realize they had to walk the red carpet? Mr. Chu? As soon as the question was voiced, Chu Xiuhuang forcefully pushed open the car door. As if taking offense, he walked away. Shi Huan hurriedly got out of the car, handed the car keys to the valet, grabbed her bag and hurriedly followed after. Outside the security barriers, fans had already started holding up signs and shouting crazily. Brother Fire Emperor is so handsome! We will always love you, Brother Fire Emperor! Fly high, Brother Fire Emperor. May your fire always follow you. The pair of sister stars who had just passed by were the current sensations of the entertainment industry. Yet, the shouting of Chu Xiuhuangs fans totally drowned them out. How embarrassing! Shi Huan stayed three steps behind Chu Xiuhuang. When they reached the press area, her hand was suddenly pulled, and then looped onto a mans arm. Before she could react, the sound of camera shutters went off in front of her. Shi Huan resisted the urge to pull her hand away, slightly hooking up the corners of her lips and looked at the reporters. A microphone was immediately thrust in front of her, We heard Mr. Chu was not feeling well recently. Could you say something to your concerned fans? Chu Xiuhuangs smile was radiant, Thankyou all for your concern, Im feeling very well. Chapter 427: 427, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Chapter 427: Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Then a reporter asked, May I ask if tonight Mr. Chu didnt bring a femalepanion? Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, Secretary Shi is mypanion. The microphone was then directed towards Shi Huan, As a subordinate, Secretary Shi, can youment on Mr. Chus attire this evening? Shi Huan also smiled, Handsome. Very handsome. Extremely handsome. Alright, can the two of you pose together for a picture? The two stood before the red backdrop, and for a moment, shes of light flickered incessantly. ** In the banquet hall, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen were already sitting at the VIP seats. They didnt walk the red carpet,ing in directly from the backdoor to save the trouble of being interviewed. When they saw Chu Xiuhuang entering with Shi Huan, Su Wenwen quickly stood, Secretary Shi.
    Shi Huan was about toe over, but Chu Xiuhuang said something to her. She walked away with the bag she was carrying. Chu Xiuhuang then came over. He was tall and had long legs, devilishly handsome, his crooked smile and charming demeanor adding to his allure. Wherever he went, he was like a ma, attracting whispers from the female guests. Thedies restroom. Shi Huan stood inside a partition, opened the box, and found more than just the dress insidematching underwear. Seeing the size, she was somewhat shocked. After putting it on, she found it fit perfectly, both the underwear and the dress were the right size, even better fitting than some clothes she ordered online. Shi Huan felt something was strange. How did Mr. Chu know her size? And how could he know it so precisely? But the time was running out, she quickly pushed open the door of the partition, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at herself. The nude colored sleeveless long dress with a thinyer of ruffledce at the dress hem was conservative in style. Even though she didnt have any particr styling, she was elevated into an aura of gentle and graceful beauty by this luxurious dress. Shi Huan removed her sses. Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, her expression froze for a moment. A few secondster, she put on her sses immediately, tidy up her hair, took a deep breath, and opened the restroom door. Unexpectedly, she ran into a familiar woman standing outside. Shi Huan? Chu Jingyi was dressed in a burgundy low-cut, off-the-shoulder dress with her curly hair piled up into an exquisite bun. Her makeup was elegant and mature. When she saw the dress Shi Huan was wearing, her face tightened. It was a dress from the TURRY brand.
    As a famous socialite of Nancheng, she obviously knew this famous French designer. The dresses designed by him could easily cost millions and were globally limited in quantity. Shi Huan could afford their dress? Miss Chu. Shi Huan nodded slightly, attempted to leave, but was held back by her. Where did you get this dress from? Chu Jingyi asked.
    Shi Huan gently curved the corner of her lips, This dress is from TURRY, if Miss Chu likes it, you might want to visit their store more in the future. After saying that, she freed her hand from her and walked away. Chu Jingyi stood there, her slender and charming phoenix eyes squinting pensively. A few secondster, she turned and moved in another direction. ** Shi Huan returned to the banquet hall and saw the host of the party approaching from the opposite direction. Elder Mo was wearing a red Tang suit and sitting in a wheelchair with a red glow on his face and a warm smile, looked in a good mood. Mo Yaoxiong wore a dark grey three-piece suit which echoed with his meticulous hairstyle, pushing the wheelchair. The ones following next to the wheelchair, of course, were Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi, the beaming stars of the night. Without a doubt, this golden couple has drawn everyones attention. Xiao Yebai was wearing an exquisitely refined ck tuxedo, his hair neatly parted showing off his handsome features. Wearing thin-rimmed sses, he looked schrly and aloof, with an air of refinement. In contrast, Mo Weiyi appeared to be the warmer one. Her bright red off- shoulder mini dress was coquettish yet appropriate, revealing just a hint of her corbone. The dress showcased her slender and curvy figure, highlighting her youthful aura. Each frown and smile disyed the unique spirit and charm of her era. Shi Huan took her eyes off them, scanned around the hall, only to find Chu Xiuhuang missing.
    The party was scheduled to start at eight oclock, it was not yet seven. After thinking for a moment, she walked towards the dining area at the back. Su Wanwan was sitting there, eating. Seeing Shi Huan, she excitedly greeted her, Secretary Shi. Shi Huan came over and put a bag down, Mrs. Huo. Wow, your dress is so beautiful. Su Wanwanplimented, and immediately said, Dont call me Mrs. Huo anymore, its too distant, just call me Wanwan, after all, Ziyang and Luoluo are so close. Maybe in the future they could be inws! Of course, Su Wanwan didnt utter these words. Already trying to steal someones sister at the age of five, she feared Shi Huan would be scared off. Once Shi Huan sat down, she said, Eat something first. Your Chu is out smoking with my husband. Oh. So thats how it is. Shi Huan got up to get some food. With Chu gone, she was at ease. There was still the performance to watch until ten oclock, so she might as well fill up her stomach first. Having taken a full te of food, Shi Huan was about to return when a blue figure suddenly shed by.
    Immediately after Oh no! A womans scream, apanied by the shattering sound of the wine ss hitting the ground and breaking. The guests in the dining area, including the waiters, immediately turned to look. Shi Huan had tried to dodge when she sensed something was amiss, but she couldnt avoid the misfortune. She felt a chill and immediately put her te aside, looking down at herself. Im so sorry, miss, its all my fault, what to do, I spilled all the wine on your dress, let me wipe it off for you? The womans panicked scream followed by calls for help, Waiter, waiter, bring some napkins quickly! Shi Huan frowned. The fabric of this dress was chiffon, almost instantlypletely soaked with the spilled red wine. The wet fabric clung to her chest, clearly showing the matching underwear beneath. Shi Huan was somewhat relieved that she had changed her underwear earlier, or her ck underwear wouldve been clearly visible, which wouldve been tremendously embarrassing. A waiter soon arrived with napkins. Just as the woman wanted to help clean up That wont be necessary. Shi Huan calmly stopped her.
    Im sorry, I really didnt mean to do it. The woman frowned, a clear look of disdain in her eyes, Why dont you go change your dress? Everyone here should have brought more than one dress, right? Shi Huan looked at her. Despite the mess on her, her expression was calm and emotionless, her voice likewise, Miss Luo, youve dirtied my dress. Im afraid an apology wont do. Luo Yiyi was stunned. She had noticed Shi Huan when Shi Huan walked the red carpet with Chu Xiuhuang, and just now, she had been chatting with Chu Jingyi. Motivated by a fit of jealousy, she had run over to embarrass Shi Huan, but she hadnt expected that Shi Huan knew her? Shi Huan continued, This dress was lent to me by Chu Xiuhuang. The wine stain might note off. The dress is worth 1.2 million yuan. Since you just admitted to identally spilling wine on me, considering that Miss Luo might be short on cash, I will send the bill to Mr. Luos email. Before Luo Yiyi could react, Shi Huan had already turned and left. ** As she left the banquet hall, a phrase strangely crossed Shi Huans mind. What does not belong to you will never be yours. She was like Cindere who had secretly worn the ss slippers, but the hour had not yet struck and she was already reverting to her true form. Standing in the hallway, Shi Huan was debating whether to go to the restroom to wipe down her dress and keep wearing it, or to change back into her ck suit. Suddenly, she heard Su Wanwans voice from behind her, Secretary Shi? Shi Huan turned around. Su Wanwan walked over, apanied by Mo Weiyi. Shi Huans gaze, for some inexplicable reason, fell on Mo Weiyi. Although she didnt know why. Mo Weiyi walked over gracefully, her long curled hair hanging smoothly on her shoulders, her tiny face beautiful and clear, and her smile clean and sweet. When she and Su Wanwan walked together, they were like the embodiment of beauty, making one feel inferior. Secretary Shi, your dress is dirty. Let Weiyi take you to change into a new one. Su Wanwan said. Theres no need. Shi Huans tone was polite, but it held an obvious sense of distance, Ill just wipe it off in the restroom. That wont do. The one speakingwas Mo Weiyi, her voice softer than Su Wanwans, with a girlish charm, as if she was acting coquettishly. She said, With the weather so cold, one can easily catch a cold. That wont happen. Shi Huan replied lightly. Chapter 428: 428, Massacre Begins Chapter 428: Massacre Begins After being Chus secretary for five years, her greatest achievement was a strong immune system. A single drink would never get her sick. Su Wenwen proposed, Miss Shi, you should change your clothes with me. If your boss sees you like this, he might lose his temper and start ming me for not taking care of you. Yes, youre our guest tonight. Grandpa told me to take good care of our guests, Mo Weiyi added. Shi Huan felt a headacheing on, Theres really no need. Why were these young girls so enthusiastic? She wasnt that fussy No,e and follow me. I brought several sets of dresses. You should be able to wear this ck one. After speaking, Mo Weiyi directly took her hand and headed towards the dressing room. The young girls hand was soft and warm. Shi Huan, whose hands and feet are usually cold, was taken aback by the warmth and followed closely behind. She was led down a long corridor and finally pushed through a doorway.
    After turning on the light and closing the door, Shi Huan finally came back to her senses. Miss Shi, how tall are you? Mo Weiyi walked to the clothes rack and quickly picked out a long ck dress. Im 1.7m, you should be able to wear this. If not, we can just pair it with some high heels. I think Miss Shi is about 1.65m, Su Wanwan quickly estimated. Mo Weiyi handed the dress to Shi Huan, Hurry up and go try it. This style is quite conservative, Im sure it suits you. Shi Huan tugged at the corner of her lips. She could only nod, Okay then. An outright refusal at this point would truly seem too fussy. Theres a hairdryer inside, Mo Weiyi pointed out. Okay. Shi Huan took the dress into the room and undressed. She discovered her underwear had been soaked through by the spilt drink. The fabric was cotton and quite thick, so it hadnt bepletely soaked through. She used tissues to absorb the excess moisture and then dried them with the hairdryer. When she put on the ck dress Mo Weiyi gave her, she discovered The style was indeed conservative. A sleeveless V-neck design, but the V-neck was a little too big for her. It exposed a lot of skin. Although the underwear beneath was hidden, at first nce, it was indeed eye-catching. But there was nothing she could do about it now. Shi Huan let out her breath, adjusted the dress and walked out the door. When she was out, Su Wenwen was gone, reced by another woman. Just as Shi Huan was surprised It fits quite nicely! Mo Weiyi immediately walked over and said with a beaming smile, Ive called Lili over, shell do a little bit of makeup for you.
    No need! Shi Huan blurted out. How can it not be? If were helping, we should do it thoroughly. Mo Weiyis voice was soft but held a hint of dominance, she grasped Shi Huans hands and got her to sit in front of the mirror. Lili has always been my exclusive stylist, she is very quick. Itll only take 10 minutes, a guaranteed transformation into a beauty. But
    What beauty I dont want to be one! Shi Huan had no time to protest, and Lili already started styling her hair in a simple bun. She then applied some hair spray to her loose hair for a quick set. Her actions were swift and skillful. Next, Lili took off Shi Huans sses. Shi Huan immediately shut her eyes. Before she could react, she was bombarded with various makeup products. Shi Huan let out a sigh of resignation from the bottom of her heart. Mo Weiyis voice echoed in her ear, Make sure not to apply too heavily. Okay. 10 minutester. Were done. Lili finally finished. Just as Mo Weiyi had promised, it took exactly, to the minute, 10 minutes.
    Before Shi Huan couldment on her appearance, she felt something cool on her neck. Mo Weiyi had hung a pearl ne around her. This makes you even more beautiful. Miss Mo, this is too precious, Shi Huan tried to remove it but Mo Weiyi stopped her. How can a woman wear a dress without jewelry? Dont take it off! Mo Weiyis tone was charming but resolutely firm. Shi Huan never had any interaction with Mo Weiyi before, but she knew that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang almost got married two years ago. Chu Xiuhuang was the eldest son of the Chu family, and Mo Weiyi was the only Little Princess of the Mo family. The male was handsome, the female was beautiful; had they indeed be husband and wife back then, the union of the aristocratic and nouveau riche would have been a nice topic in Nancheng. Who knew that Mo Weiyi suddenly called off the wedding. She quickly married the adopted son of the Mo family, Xiao Yebai. From then on, Chu Xiuhuang, as if stimted, suddenly began to live his life recklessly. As an observer from the beginning to the end of this whole affair, she didnt understand initially: why would love have such a huge impact on a man? To the point where a yboy like Masters Chu is even devastated like this? Now she understands, it wasnt without reason. Mo Weiyi was really impressive. She was born into a prominent family, butpletelycked the arrogance of those so-called wealthydies. On the contrary, she was beautiful yet naive, lovely but unpretentious, somewhat headstrong, but not in a way that repels people. A young and beautiful Mo Weiyi like this, no wonder why Chu Xiuhuang cannot forget her
    Miss Shi, youre so beautiful, why do you want to dress down? Mo Weiyi couldnt understand. She had seen too many women who werent beautiful, frantically torturing themselves to look beautiful, even resorting to stic surgery. But for the first time, she saw someone like Shi Huan who was very beautiful yet deliberately sought to make herself unattractive. Could it be to disguise herself? Mo Weiyi instantly thought of her own husband, Xiao Yebai. He also did not have any eyesight problems, but liked to wear sses. He said it was because he didnt want his subordinates to be scared when they looked at him. The sses made him appear more refined and friendly. However, the sses he wore were not like those extrarge ck-framed sses of Shi Huans. Those only made her look worse. On the contrary, Xiaobai with his non-prescription sses gave off a vibe of degraded schr, which made him infuriatingly handsome! Miss Shi, trust me, youre really beautiful. From now on, dont put yourself down like this, okay? Mo Weiyi said again. Shi Huan looked at herself in the mirror. Shi Huan, youre really beautiful. Suddenly, she remembered this sentence. Once upon a time, someone had said this to her too. She didnt even know how long it had been since she saw her true appearance.
    It felt like such a long time ago. ** At this time, the luxurious banquet hall was filled with beautiful women, and was filled withughter and chatter. Watching Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan showing their affection to each other, and even Gu Huaian being apanied by a beautiful woman. Chu Xiuhuangs expression was sour, and his tone was impatient, Where is my secretary? Su Wanwan quickly replied, She went to change her clothes. Changing clothes? Chu Xiuhuangs expression turned even worse. He had already finished smoking a cigarette and returned, but why was she still changing? Does it take that long to change a dress? Yes, her dress was stained with wine just now and dirtied, she exined. Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuangs expression turned ck, She was dirtied? Is she a pig? Goddamn! He had meticulously prepared a beautiful dress for her, and finally convinced her to change into it. But before he even got to see her in it, it was ruined by the wine? Chu Xiuhuangs tone turned dark, Which idiot spilled the wine? Su Wanwans heart lurched, thinking that he was truly upset, Dont know, I heard Miss Shi calling her Miss Luo. Miss Luo? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a n forming in his mind. Everyone attending today were eminent figures of Nancheng. Of course, there were also many with average abilities but with other intentions trying to blend in, trying to meet more influential people by taking advantage of this asion. Mr. Gu, the Luo familyspany seems to have a coboration with yourpany? Chu Xiuhuang asked directly. Gu Huaian replied nonchntly, What, nning to wage a war for your secretary? Chu Xiuhuangughed out, What are you saying? Today is Mo Familys anniversary, we are at their venue, such talk about killing, cant you be more civilized, Old Gu? Gu Huaian put down his wine ss, his demeanor leisurely and sophisticated, So how do you n to be civilized? Chu Xiuhuang continued hisughter, Just wait and see. Gu Huaian clicked his tongue, Ill go out for some fresh air. Deng Anya, who was by his side, gave everyone a slight smile, then followed him out. Looking at the two with their perfect appearances, Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask, Are they actually getting married? A while ago the rumors about them were in full swing. I thought it was just a publicity stunt, didnt expect Gu Huaian to actually bring Deng Anya to attend the anniversary. As expected of an A-list star, Deng Anya was very charming. Her exquisite and extravagant dress made her more dazzling. It was just that her temperament did not quite match with Gu Huaians. Chapter 429: 429, Stingy Mr. Huo Chapter 429: Stingy Mr. Huo Huo Jingshen simply took the wine ss out of her hand without addressing her previous words, Drink less. Su Wanwan humphed twice, Skinflint. She rarely gets the opportunity to drink, but every time, she would be stopped after just one or two sips. Behave, its for your own good, darling. I didnt drink much! How much do you think is too much? I really only had two sips. What will you do if you have a headache tomorrow? How could I get a headache from just two sips? After two sips you will drink three, four
    Enough, enough. Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted the twos endless chatter, then called over the server, Do you have Wangzai milk? The server was taken aback, Im sorry, we dont. The party was the Mo Groups anniversary party, it is attended by the societys elites, there are no underage guests, where would they get Wangzai milk? At most, they have soda water. Chu Xiuhuang was very impatient, Damn it, these two are killing me with their talk, cant I have something sweet? Su Wanwan looked at him awkwardly, then suddenly, her eyes lit up at someone behind him, Secretary Shi has arrived! Chu Xiuhuang impatiently turned around. The next minute, the expression on his facepletely froze. Or more urately, he was struck in awe. Shi Huan was walking towards him, her ck hair that usually hung over her shoulders was now styled by a hairstylist in a simple style, with some strands of hair falling loosely on her cheeks, making her oval face look delicate and refined. She was wearing exquisite light makeup, if he hadnt seen her without her sses before, he certainly wouldnt recognize her now, as she looked like apletely different person. Now, she was pure and beautiful, and especially when her almond eyes were looking at him, they were like pools of spring water, pure and innocent, reflecting a touch of self-pity. But the moment he looked down. Chu Xiuhuang felt a stirring in his heart. She was wearing a ck haute couture gown, the versatile material seemed like a second skin that was tailored to her figure, entuating her curvaceous physique, the design of the sleeveless V-neck was simple yet generous, but the V-neck Was a bit too low. As a result, under the contrast of the ck cloth, her skin appeared to be like ice jade, so white that it was dazzling. Under the bright lights of the banquet hall, with her movement, a pearl ne was lightly floating Very seductive!
    Chu Xiuhuang quickly averted his eyes. Damn! Who had her dressed in such a bold dress? Damn
    Was someone deliberately tempting him? Fuck! Chu Xiuhuang gave a rough cough or two, then swiftly reached for the red win on the side. He drank it down in one fell swoop. The cold liquid instantly poured down his throat. Huo Jingshen, on the side, rubbed his thick eyebrows in exasperation, then irritably shifted his gaze. This Chu Xiuhuang, acting like a greenhorn. Clearly, he is just a kid who hasnt driven a car! Just couldnt bear to look at him. As for Su WanWan Secretary Shi. She walked up to Shi Huan somewhat excitedly, Wow, you look so pretty in that dress! Who knew Weiyi had such great taste! Earlier when she walked into the rest room, she was called back by Huo Jingshens phone call, she was worried that Mo Weiyi might make Shi Huan look ridiculous, but she didnt expect The Little Princess to have such great style. This ck dress, simple and elegant, really suited Shi Huans cool yet delicate demeanor, and it was very sexy too.
    She noticed that Shi Huan had a great figure during their time at the hot spring resort, and seeing her today confirmed this. Su Wanwan, who was wearing a pair of high heels, had the advantage of height and easily observed from above. Shi Huan was so embarrassed that she hastily adjusted her dress. Even though she had a ne covering her, and despite the fact that Su Wanwan was a woman, Shi Huan didnt feelfortable being stared at so explicitly Is this dress from Little Princess? Chu Xiuhuangs voice rang out pleasantly. Shi Huan nodded, her gaze falling on the handsome mans face. Just as expected, Chu Xiuhuangs thin lips curled up, his handsome face was like a breath of spring, exuding an indescribable radiance. He praised, The Little Princess has quite good taste. Shi Huanughed. After all, shes the woman you deeply love. Where is she? Chu Xiuhuang asked again. This she was naturally referring to Mo Weiyi. Shi Huan responded, She said she would apany her husband to meet the customers.
    As a matter of fact, as soon as they had returned to the banquet hall, Mo Weiyi left immediately. Being todays hostess, naturally, she needed to greet the guests, Shi Huan didnt give it much thought. However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed to suddenly understand something. Hehe, this little princess was afraid to meet him, wasnt she? He raised his eyebrows, his tongue lightly touched his jaw, and his eyes narrowed mischievously, seemingly deep in thought. Seeing his appearance, Shi Huan couldnt help but wonder, was he disappointed? The next second. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly lifted his noble arm, In that case, Little Huanhuan, apany your boss to meet the clients, perhaps youll run into the Little Princess. Having prepared a benefit for him, Chu Xiuhuang thought it would be necessary to thank her, and incidentally provoke her! And provoke Xiao Yebai. Given an opportunity to stir things up, Chu Xiuhuang never wanted to miss it. What he did not know was that Shi Huan had been dwelling on how he loved Mo Weiyi but was unable to have her, how his love was too deep to let her go, their love and hate entwined She smiled, hooked his arm, and said, Okay. **
    In a corner of the bustling banquet hall. Mo Weiyi, with her arm around Xiao Yebai, had a sweet smile on her beautiful little face. Even though she didnt understand, and wasnt familiar with the people, she was still well aware of what should be done and what should not be done at the anniversary celebration of the Mo Group. Until Yiyi. Mo Weiyi turned her head and saw Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing in front of her, with Xu Rui by their side. Qu Yunyao was wearing a white long dress with a corset, her face made up exquisitely, her long hair carefully pinned back,pletely decked out. Her entire appearance indicated that she had put a great deal of effort into preparing for todays event. As for Xu Jing, she had also changed her usual style. However, it wasnt as exaggerated as Qu Yunyao, she wasnt wearing any ostentatious jewelry and she wore a conservative light green dress. And there was no denying that she took very good care of herself. Although she was over forty, she looked just over thirty. So when they stood together, it wasnt obvious that they were mother and daughter. Instead, they looked like a pair of beautiful sisters. Yiyi. After calling her, Qu Yunyao enthusiastically praised, Yiyi, you look beautiful today. Mo Weiyi politely returned the smile, You look beautiful too. The two sisters interacted in a friendly manner, making Mo Yaoxiong, who was standing beside them, very pleased. Qu Yunyao gave a polite smile, looking exceptionally charming. Who are these two? The CEO standing next to them was slightly surprised, and his wife looked curious. Mo Yaoxiong introduced with a smile, This is Xu Xians younger sister Xu Jing, her daughter Qu Yunyao, and Yunyaos fianc, Xu Rui. I see. The CEO smiled, but his gaze was different. He had thought that they were some important guest, but it turned out to be Mrs. Mos sister and niece. In such a circumstance, it was tip toeing for these two to show up. Heughed, hinting something. Xu Jing bowed her head, her face a bit awkward. Actually, she didnt want toe today. She always felt that with her status, her presence at Mospanys celebration might draw criticism particrly from some intentionally gossipy folks. However, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui insisted, arguing that the movie Xu Rui had invested in required more funding. This event was the perfect opportunity to meet some elites and wealthy families in Nancheng, which might lead to potential cooperation opportunities. Fearing for Yunyaos pregnancy (only three months along), Xu Jing eventually worried and decided to attend for her sake. After the CEO and his wife left, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, By the way, arent you two living elsewhere? As these words hit, the awkwardness on Xu Jings face became even more evident. Qu Yunyaos face also looked pretty bad. Last time, due to the scolding of the maid, there was a bit of a conflict with Mo Weiyi. Qu Yunyao had intentionally insisted on moving out and asked Mo Yaoxiong to help them find an apartment through a real estate broker. Mo Yaoxiong, having grown up in luxury and used tovishness, he also cared for the mother-daughter pair, and he would certainly have agreed to help. Qu Yunyao had deliberately given a low budget, and those brokers were in the business of what we pay is what we get. With such a low price, the apartments they could offer would definitely be of inferior conditions, unlikely to be satisfactory. He would certainly have found them unsatisfactory and forbidden their relocation. Chapter 430: 430, a perfect match made in heaven Chapter 430: a perfect match made in heaven As expected, Mo Yaoxiong did not let her down, and she sessfully managed to continue living in the Mo Family up to now. But this Mo Weiyi, really seems tock any social graces, to straight out ask such a question? Thankfully, Mo Yaoxiong quickly intervened, Your aunt has already looked at some houses, she just hasnt decided yet. Why not? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, seemingly truly confused,Its been almost half a month, hasnt she found a suitable house yet? Qu Yunyao felt like it was clear that she was ridiculing them for lingering in the Mo Familys house! Xu Jing managed a smile,Ive been busy preparing for final exams at school recently, so I havent had much time to look at houses. Ill start looking tomorrow and move out as soon as I can. These words sounded somewhat submissive. Immediately, Qu Yunyao also expressed her grievance,Yiyi, dont worry. Ill apany my mom to look at houses tomorrow. The elder of the Mo Family furrowed his brows at this. Mo Yaoxiongs face also showed some displeasure.
    Mo Weiyi blurted out, What does that mean, Yunyao? It sounds like Im pushing you to move out. Yiyi, youre overthinking. I didnt mean to me you, I was at fault, I shouldnt have acted impulsively and upset youst time You were scolding usst time for no reason Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiong sternly interrupted his daughter. What sort of asion is this? Talking about such trivial matters here for so long, was that necessary? Mo Weiyi puffed her cheeks out in frustration and fell silent. Well discuss these matters at home. Mo Yaoxiong concluded. He then looked at Xu Jing, The reception is about to begin, you should go and have something to eat first. Qu Yunyao gave a polite smile, Uncle, in that case, well go and eat first. Go ahead. Xu Rui nodded to the crowd, then turned around, and the three went to the dining area. However, just after they had sat down and had a few bites, Qu Yunyao suddenly covered her mouth, as if she was going to vomit. Mom, I feel a bit ufortable, I want to go to the restroom. Xu Jing said immediately, Ill go with you. No need. No need. Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui spoke simultaneously. Because they were in sync, they looked at each other and smiled. Then Xu Rui said, Mom, Ill apany her. Alright. Xu Jing nodded.
    Seeing Xu Rui being so considerate of her daughter, Xu Jing felt slightlyforted as a mother. When Qu Yunyao reached the entrance of the banquet hall, she suddenly stopped, looking towards the stage. Mo Weiyi was currently hanging onto Xiao Yebais arm, conversing with a pair of elders. Without a doubt, Mo Weiyi looked extremely beautiful tonight.
    The cute red dress made her glow, luxurious and bright, dazzling and charming. Furthermore, having Xiao Yebai by her side, they made a handsome and beautiful pair, a match made in heaven. However A hint of malice shed through Qu Yunyaos eyes. Mo Weiyi, enjoy the spotlight on you right now, because soon enough, you wont be able to hold your head high anymore. In fact, you wont even be able to smile! * * As the background music started ying, the guests gradually took their seats, and the anniversary reception officiallymenced. The VIP seats were in the front. The Mo Family upied one table, and the seats for Qu Yunyao, Xu Jing, and Xu Rui were arranged at the adjacent table. Both the emcees came from Nancheng TV station, speaking perfect Mandarin, and their hosting style was humorous and interesting, quickly raising the atmosphere of the venue. The first item on the agenda was the screening of a promotional film from the Mo Group. Following the nearly ten-minute presentation was the second segment; speeches from key representatives.
    Representing Mo Group was none other than President Xiao Yebai himself. When he stood on the stage, his schrly and indifferent gaze slowly surveying around, apuse erupted continuously. Mo Weiyi was sitting in the central VIP seat, busy recording with her mobile phone, she couldnt help but nick over to her best friend,Tell me, isnt my husband handsome? Su Wanwan made a face,Isnt it enough that you think hes handsome? To her, Xiao Yebai was simply too cold. Think about it, she had known Mo Weiyi since childhood, and therefore got introduced to Xiao Yebai through her best friend when Weiyi was ten. Even though theyve known each other for ten years, every time they met, he never shared even a smile It was really hard to like him! Su Wanwan felt that her own husband was much better, at least he wasnt so cold, and sometimes, he was even warm. With this thought, she couldnt help ncing at her husband beside her. Huo Jingshen was watching the stage, his handsome profile was elegantly gentle, with a perfectly straight nose that resembled a mountain peak, his thin lips pursed slightly, his slightly raised chin showing his firm and somewhat proud features. Mo Weiyi, standing aside with her phone, continued to take pictures, Isnt my husband so handsome!? Absolutely stunning! Su Wanwan nodded in agreement. Yeah, my hubby is so handsome!
    Absolutely stunning! Xiao Yebais speech was not long. He sinctly summed up the development of Mo Family over the past fifty years, as well as future prospects, and thanked some of the attendees at the end before he stepped off the stage. Thank you, CEO Xiao, the host said, taking the stage with a microphone. Mo Weiyi immediately went to him, Xiaobai, you Mr. Xiao. Suddenly, a mans voice interrupted her. Mo Weiyi instantly put on an unhappy face. It was Xu Rui. He held up a ss of wine and said very respectfully, Mr. Xiao, may I interrupt you for a few minutes? Mo Weiyi thought Xiao Yebai would refuse, given that the banquet had just begun but Alright. Xiao Yebai rose from his chair.
    Not only was Mo Weiyi surprised, so was Xu Rui. He had been expecting to persuade Xiao Yebai further and didnt expect Xiao Yebai to agree so readily. He was ted and quickly followed him to the back. As he was passing the table next to him, he gave a casual nce at Qu Yunyao who was seated there. As soon as the two left, Qu Yunyao sat there, watching performance on the stage, her lips tugged upwards in a smirk. She had been waiting for this day for too long. She had to lie to Xu Rui again about her being pregnant after being unexpectedly exposed by that old traditional Chinese doctor and convinced him to continue with the y, following which, she rearranged all her ns. Finally, she chose today, the 50th anniversary of the Mo Group, for the grand confrontation! As almost all the noble families of Nancheng and many journalists were attending today, if anyone found her and Xiao Yebai in a ndestine rendezvous, and if they were exposed, even if Xiao Yebai was innocent, he would be left without a defense! Who would need any photographs? WeChat, text message records? No evidence was more convincing and shocking than what you see with your own eyes! So, as long as Xu Rui gets Xiao Yebai to drink the aphrodisiac, shell find him in the rear garden when he falls unconscious. With Xu Rui shouting out to everyone while the two were in the midst of the act Suddenly, the banquet hall burst intoughter. Qu Yunyao snapped back to reality, watching the humorous performance on stage, she too startedughing along, only hers was over exaggerated, attracting the attention of Xu Jing who was sitting next to her. Whats wrong with this girl? Did she lower her sense of humor threshold? About ten minutester, finally, her phone vibrated. Upon checking her phone swiftly, Qu Yunyao said, Mum, Im going to the restroom. Xu Jing hurriedly responded, Ill go with you. Theres no need, Ill go by myself, Qu Yunyao refused. However, Xu Jing was worried, Youre pregnant now, I dont feel safe. Its okay, I will walk slowly, it wont be a problem. Rx mom, there are bodyguards all around, whats there to worry about? Xu Jing: Well, that makes sense. Today, Mo Yaoxiong moved all the bodyguards from the Mo mansion to this venue, apart from them, there are also security personnel from the hotel ensuring the smooth functioning of the anniversary. She nodded, Then, be careful and watch your step. I know. Smiling, Qu Yunyao left. Stepping out of the banquet hall, Xu Rui was already waiting for her in the corner of the corridor. Yunyao. He eagerly approached, ncing around nervously, Nobody noticed, right? Qu Yunyao shook her head, Where is my brother-inw? In the rear garden. lowering his voice, Xu Rui said, He has already drunk that ss of wine. He said he was feeling dizzy, so I said I would call Miss Mo for him, he didnt suspect anything. You must go at once. Alright. Qu Yunyaos voice was shaking slightly from the excitement, Call everyone over in 10 minutes. Understood. As soon as Xu Rui walked back into the banquet hall as if nothing had happened, Qu Yunyao quickly turned and headed towards the rear, finally arriving at the small garden behind the banquet hall. Under the gloomy overhead lighting, she noticed Xiao Yebai sitting by a rose pir on a wooden chair. Despite the cold wind, there was a faint sweet scent lingering in the air. A faint aroma of alcohol could also be sensed. Chapter 431: 431, please get into the jar Chapter 431: please get into the jar The man was dressed in a ck suit, but due to the effects of the drug, he was now lying there, seemingly very ufortable. Qu Yunyao pinched her fingers and slowly walked over. Brother-inw? Xiao Yebaiy there, not uttering a word. Are you drunk? Qu Yunyao lifted her hand, cing it on Xiao Yebais shoulder. The man still did not speak, but neither did he resist. This medicine would cause dizziness, grogginess, and even hallucinations. This was the borate n of Qu Yunyao as the goal today was to let everyone discover them here! She leaned down, roughly ripping open the cor, about to grasp the mans hand But the man suddenly turned around and embraced her.
    Qu Yunyao was somewhat taken aback. Could this medicine be more potent than the medicine she had bought previously? Or did he mistake her for Mo Weiyi? Remembering Xu Rui saying he was going to call Mo Weiyi earlier That must be it. Qu Yunyao was instantly thrilled. Excitement caused her to overlook many details. She slowly closed her eyes It was the back garden, outdoors and a deep night in January, the temperature was very low, and it was very cold. It had been more than three months since thest time in Haicheng, a moment of hesitation shed through her mind. She was now pregnant, she couldnt afford any mishap, let alone take such risks. Andter on, Xu Rui would call everyone from the banquet hall, many journalists were present today, if they take pictures No! She cannot afford such a scandal! What on earth was she doing now? Did she lose her mind? Qu Yunyao came to her senses, immediately raised her hand to push him away, No But the mans voice suddenly rang out, What do you mean no? Baby, do you forget me so soon? Hearing this vulgar yet somehow familiar voice, Qu Yunyaos eyes widened sharply.
    In the dim light, she finally recognized the mans fat face. It was actually Zhang Dechang! How could it be him? Qu Yunyao was so shocked that she felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe.
    She struggled hard and shouted, Let me go, you bastard But why would the man release her now? He chuckled and said, Its been three months since west saw each other, Ive missed you terribly. Rest assured, no one wille over here ha ha ha ha * * The banquet hall was currently bothvish and boisterous. As the party heated up, the waiters began serving food. The food carts continued along the corridor, when passing by the back garden, someone suddenly heard a strange noise. The waiters exchanged nces before quickly pushing the food cart away. They knew certain adults liked to seek stimtion in private, but today was the Mo Groups anniversary. The guests were reputable individuals from Nancheng, here they are, having an illicit rendezvous in the back garden? So shameless! Indeed, arent they afraid of being discovered? Should we go and tell the manager? So many journalists are here today, its going to be so embarrassing if they get photographed!
    If they dont care about their reputation in the first ce, why fear about being disgraced? A few people hesitated for a moment while the noises from that area became louder. As for Xu Rui, his original n was to call everyone in the garden to catch them 10 minutester, but going by himself would arouse suspicion. After all, Qu Yunyao was his fiance, no one would call others to catch his fiance, right? Not to mention that Xiao Yebai having an affair with his future sister-inw and getting caught on the day of the Mo Groups anniversary, losing face to such a degree. If the Mo family investigatester, he, the informant, wouldnt be able to escape me. Mind you, considering Qu Yunyao had already had an incident with Xiao Yebai before, having one more wouldnt make any difference for him. Yes. Xu Rui now held no feelings for Qu Yunyao. In the past, he had felt that Qu Yunyao was inherently conservative and young, and so, he had never touched her. But ever since Qu Yunyao started having an affair with Xiao Yebai, his feelings for her changedpletely. No man likes to be cuckolded, even if the woman is only his fiance in name. Why not let someone else do the dirty work? So he returned to the banquet hall, made a round, and came back quickly, standing in the hallway, waiting for the whispered conversations of the waitstaff to reach his ears. Pretending to be curious, he asked, What are you discussing?
    The waitstaff were startled and looked at him, not daring to speak. Xu Rui feigned to listen for a moment, then immediately said, What are you all standing around for, hurry up and get someone from the hall! The waitstaff were even more astonished. Get someone? Are you sure? Hurry up! Cant you hear that woman screaming for help? What if something happens to her? Xu Rui shouted fiercely. After listening carefully, the staff realized it was indeed so. It really did sound like the woman was repeatedly crying for help C something was wrong! So they hurriedly ran to the banquet hall for help. Xu Rui turned around, but hid himself in a discreet spot. From the garden, the sound of Qu Yunyaos screams for help drifted into his ears, each one more chilling and desperate than thest. * *
    About five minutester, the neatly dressed lobby manager led several security personnel, all holding shlights, and rushed out. Such matters tend to leak out easily. Nobody knew whod slipped, but swarm after swarm of journalists chased behind them into the garden like locusts. Xu Rui quickly stepped out and followed the crowd to see what was happening. Ah! Dont take pictures, get away! Dont take pictures! Qu Yunyaos voice rang out hysterically. But the journalists didnt care; they aimed their cameras at the two people on the bench and snapped away. Their shlights were incessantly shing. The banquet guests were also incessantly filming with their phones. Some had even opened up a live streaming tform to broadcast the event. Qu Yunyaos cries were so loud that it quickly stirred all the people in the banquet hall. While Shi Huan was in amazement, someone suddenly gripped her hand. Chu Xiuhuang smiled slyly at her, Little Huanhuan, lets go. Lets watch the fun with the boss. Shi Huan: Could she not go? Seeing Shi Huan being led away to watch the fun, Su Wanwan also rose to her feet but was grabbed by Huo Jingshen. What are you doing? Su Wanwan was almost in tears. Did you not get enough from thest experience a few days ago? Su Wanwan paused, only then realizing he was referring to the incident that had happened at the club recently when Xia Jiani was caught in the restroom. But Even Mo Weiyi has gone to see whats happening! Looking pitiful, Su Wanwan begged, Can I just take a look, just one nce? Seeing the empty banquet hall, Huo Jingshen relented, Lets go home. Su Wanwan was on the verge of tears. Could she not go home? She also wants to watch the fun! * * In the garden, the reporters were going wild. It was the Mo Groups anniversary today. As reporters, their jobs were supposed to be just a walk in the park, with easy money at the end of it. No one expected such a juicy incident to crop up right at the end of the event C it was an unexpected bonus! The reporters jostled in front while guests encircled them from outside, forming severalyers. Mo Weiyi couldnt get to the front and was getting anxious. Suddenly, Xu Ruis voice boomed, Isnt that Mr. Xiao? His words stunned everyone around. Mr. Xiao? Xiao Yebai? Oh my God, this is big news! Mo Weiyis face instantly darkened. What nonsense are you talking about? she asked. Xu Rui swallowed nervously, exining, I was just having a drink and discussing business with Mr. Xiao here. I had to leave first because I received a phone call, but Mr. Xiao didnt return He didnt finish the rest of his sentence. But such a suggestive hint was more inclined to induce spection. Chapter 432: 432, catch one in the act Chapter 432: catch one in the act Really? True? President Xiao and a woman are doing that sort of thing in the back garden? It cant be right? Exactly, today is Mo Familys anniversary! Seriously, why now of all times? Quick, lets go check it out! Hurry Just as everyone was wildly specting What happened? Amanding baritone suddenly rang out. Everybody was taken aback.
    Mo Weiyi let out an internal cheer, quickly turned around and said, Xiaobai! Xiao Yebai was standing in the corridor at the back, still in his previous ck suit, his thin lips tightly pressed together. Under the dim light, his stunning features held a distant air. Mo Weiyi ran up to him, clung to his arm, tilted her head, looked into his eyes sweetly yet pitifully and asked, Where did you go just now? I had a bit of alcohol just now then suddenly felt dizzy, so I went to the back for some rest. However, your noise woke me up, Xiao Yebai exined lightly. Mo Weiyi nodded. So that was it. Director Xu. Xiao Yebais gazended on Xu Rui, his tone indifferent as usual, What happened? Xu Rui waspletely stunned. Why did Xiao Yebaie from there? Who then was the man with Qu Yunyao? His back felt cold and eerie. In the next second, he abruptly turned around, forcefully pushed his way through the crowd, and rushed in. Caught in the middle of a swarm of reporters were two people scrambling and flustering. Zhang Dechang was trembling in the cold wind. Qu Yunyao, as for her, her white evening gown had beenpletely torn into shreds Her face and limbs were littered with various injuries, the most terrifying of which was that she was bleeding Who on earth are these two people? Theyre shameless! Are they actually bleeding? Have they taken some kind of drug?
    The Mo family is so unlucky, how could they invite such guests? It ispletely embarrassing! Xu Rui rushed over, seized the mans cor, and rained punches down on him.
    He was furious. He had seen Xiao Yebai drink the spiked drink. He had waited until it took effect before rushing back to summon Qu Yunyao. Hed nned and arranged for so long, thinking tonight he could achieve his goal, but now A fat pig who ran out stole his thunder? His fury transformed into punches that pounded ruthlessly into the mans face with no restraint. Being seized in the act had scared Zhang Dechang to the point of nearly fainting. Being photographed by so many reporters, he felt guilty and terrified. He had absolutely no ability to resist. Soon, his face turned a violent purple and red from the beating, eyes swollen, nose bleeding profusely. Qu Yunyao was desperately holding onto bits of fabric. Ashamed and embarrassed, coupled with a painful stomach, she wished she could find a hole and crawl into it. Where could she hide? People were all around her and news reporters were filming with their cameras while security officers were lighting up the ce with torches. Yunyao? Qu Yunyaos heart skipped a beat. Looking up, she saw Xu Jing standing there in shock. Standing beside her was Mo Yaoxiong. Further away stood the indifferent Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi.
    Its all over Qu Yunyao couldnt even think. Tears flooded her eyes as she cried out, Mom, you have to stand up for me Xu Jing rushed forward and held her daughter tight. Then she red at Zhang Dechang, using him angrily, Are you even human? My daughter is pregnant! How dare you take advantage of someones vulnerability! Youre no better than an animal! The onlooking guests suddenly broke out into an uproar. Is she pregnant? So she was forced by this man? Did this man take some drugs? Even going after pregnant women? Its pitiful! Shes really unfortunate Call the police and arrest this arrogant jerk!
    Mo Weiyi clung to Xiao Yebais arm, her face pale with fright. Although shed always disliked Qu Yunyaos hypocritical behavior, witnessing her attacked by such a disgusting man while she was pregnant, made her pity her. Mo Yaoxiong immediately instructed the bodyguard, Tie up the man and take him to the police station! The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and took hold of Zhang Dechang. Zhang Dechang caught sight of Mo Yaoxiong as if hed suddenly been shocked awake, he cried out loudly, Chairman, its a misunderstanding! She started it. I didnt force her. Really, I didnt! Chairman, Chairman, let me exin Xu Jings eyes reddened with fury, You shouldnt nder someone! My daughter is three months pregnant, how could she possibly seduce you? You clearly had ill intentions. Youre no better than an animal! Zhang Dechang shouted desperately, The child in her womb is mine! What did you say? Xu Jing widened her eyes. Qu Yunyao was even more terrified, her face turning pale. The spectators once again set off an uproar: What on earth is going on? Still messing around while pregnant, how shameless! I see shes bleeding!
    Theyre simply disgraceful! How unfeeling Chapter 433: 433, expose ugliness on the spot Chapter 433: expose ugliness on the spot This world nevercks onlookers who love to watch the drama, even if those present today are all big shots whose names are well known in Nancheng. Zhang Dechang viciously wiped off his nosebleed, then took out his phone from his pocket, You dont believe me, is that it? Fine, Ill let you see now who is shameless, who seduced me! After saying this, he found the video, yed it at maximum volume, and held up his phone high so that everyone could see clearly. In the video, Qu Yunyao It was simply unbearable to watch. Xu Jing felt like all her blood was flowing backward, rushing to her forehead. She couldnt hold back anymore, raising her hand and fiercely pping her straight across the face. Ah! Qu Yunyao let out a pitiful scream. She fell onto a chair to the side, hitting her belly hard, which hurt terribly. But she couldnt care less about the pain at this point, immediately scrambling up to grab Xu Jing, trying to exin, Mom, I did not, I was wrong, this man is deliberately framing me listen to me exin Exin? What is there to exin? Ive seen the video! Xu Jings beautiful eyes were bloodshot. She grit her teeth in hatred, hearticked, How did I educate you and why would you do such a thing you have really disappointed me!
    No wonder you refused to admit that you were pregnant before. As it turns out, this child is not even Xu Ruis, how many things have you been hiding from me? Xu Jing, unable to hold back, delivered another p, You are messing around with men, once is tolerate, today, in this setting, you are actually doing this here you you are shameless! Do you even understand what you are doing? How did I give birth to such a shameless daughter? What did I do to deserve this in myst life Xu Jing continued to p Qu Yunyao. You Yunyao could only hug her, unable to say a word. All she knew was to cry, incessantly crying, wailing and crying, crying her heart out. Because this time its over! She is truly finished! No chance of redemption! But she could not understand why Zhang Dechang suddenly appeared here. A lot of time had passed, and she hadpletely forgotten about this mans existence. He was far away in Haicheng, out of sight out of mind. Only the two of them knew about this incident, she thought Qu Yunyao! Xu Rui suddenly rushed over with an angry face, using her, You actually dared to deceive me! Xu Rui. Qu Yunyaos face was covered in tears, obviously wronged, and she tried to exin again, You know that at that time, I I dont want to hear it! Xu Rui interrupted her directly, You actually messed around with such an old man behind my back. You have truly disgusted me! Every time I see you now, I want to vomit! Break up, we are breaking up immediately! Nevere and find me again, we are done! After saying that, he turned and ran away. Xu Rui was a clever person. If he didnt leave now, when would he? At this moment, the crowd would only think that he had been cuckolded, and left in anger and embarrassment, even gaining their sympathy.
    No matter where things went wrong, based on the video just now, it was clear that Qu Yunyao had been involved with that man! She had been lying to him all along! Treating him like an idiot and using him! Luckily he hadnt impulsively shown the fake photos and chat records earlier, otherwise, he would have been ruined by this woman!
    Shi Kang, stop the video and arrest that man! Mo Yaoxiong ordered sternly. Chairman, it was really her who seduced me first, in Haichengst time she was sending me signals, and she entered my room willingly. Just now I was resting here, and she came over and hugged me Zhang Dechang was still shouting, but the phone was quickly taken away and turned off, and those unbearable sounds finally stopped. After the bodyguards took him away, the guests were still chatting loudly. Suddenly, a womans voice rang, Isnt she the Mo familys niece? Xu Jing was taken aback. The other people were instantly reminded by this sentence. So, she did such shameless things on her rtives asion? She is simply a B**ch! How could the Mo family have such a rtive? She looked so pure in the banquet hall just now, I didnt expect her to be so shameless privately! She really has no shame! In an instant, Mo Yaoxiongs expression became even worse. Luckily Mr. Mo was not feeling well, and returned early after Xiao Yebai gave his speech. Otherwise, with his explosive temper, he would surely fall ill again owing to this disgrace!
    The guests kept mocking sarcastically. The scene seemed to be getting out of control. Mo Weiyi frowned at the scene and couldnt help speaking up, Xiaobai, I want to go home. She doesnt want to stay here for even another minute. Previously, she only thought Qu Yunyao was a hypocritical, petty, and somewhat deceitful person. However, she never imagined that she would be messing around with a man in his forties, and not only once. That man was old, ugly, and fat. What was she after? Mo Weiyi couldnt figure it out and felt even more humiliated. Xiao Yebai took her to leave. Just as they had walked a few steps, they suddenly heard a womans scream from behind. It hurts it hurts so much save me my stomach hurts Qu Yunyao fell to the ground clutching her stomach, moaning in pain from her mouth. When the security guard shone his shlight, he found out that her legs were already soaked in blood. New blood that was almost ck began to flow out quickly, and the ground around her was quickly soaked with fresh blood. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood Xu Jing just felt a boom in her head, and her body swayed badly. A woman yelled, The pregnant woman is bleeding! She must have hurt the fetus!
    She deserved it! She dared to have sex here while pregnant, does she not want to live? Shes been bleeding for so long, the baby must not be saved! Send her to the hospital quickly! Call 120! For a while, the scene was again in chaos. The grand anniversary celebration, due to this scandal, had to end prematurely. * * One hourter. Nangong Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on the eighth floor. In the corridor, Xu Jing was sitting with her head down, crying uncontrobly. Apanying her was only Mo Yaoxiong.
    As time trickled by, the sound of a door opening was heard. Xu Jing quickly lifted her head, and upon seeing the doctor and nurse emerge, she stood up and approached them, Doctor. The doctor adjusted his sses, his face devoid of expression. The child is gone. Please ept my condolences. Xu Jing asked, Hows my daughter now? The pregnant woman was already weak, and she lost a lot of blood. The uterus was damaged when the fetus was removed. Her chances of conceiving in the future may be lower. But dont worry too much, the priority now is to help the pregnant woman recuperate. She should rest in bed during her hospital stay and maintain a stable mood Xu Jing covered her mouth, started crying before the doctor even finished talking. As a woman, she knew just how much damage a miscarriage could do to a womans uterus. She felt bad for her daughter, but she was even more heartbroken about her daughtersck of self-care. The conflicting emotions were almost crushing her. Mo Yaoxiong frowned heavily, and after the doctor left, he could onlyfort her, Dont overthink for now, just take good care of her. Crying, Xu Jing said, Brother-inw, Im sorry Today Yunyao has disgraced you, its all my fault, I failed to discipline her Mo Yaoxiong sighed. The disgrace had been caused. Was there any use in apologizing? He just didnt expect that Qu Yunyao, who seemed so innocent on the outside, could conduct herself like this in private. Before this, she was thought to be pregnant with Xu Ruis child before marriage, which was already hard enough to ept. But now it turns out she was fooling around with a man in his forties from a branchpany. And if that wasnt enough, they couldnt even wait till they got home! Their sexual escapade was caught on tape and seen by everyone! By the time Qu Yunyao was pushed into the ward by a nurse, Mo Yaoxiong didnt stay much longer and quickly returned to the manor. It was already 10 pm. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he was hurriedly called into the old masters residence by Uncle Shi. Mo Yaoxiong still didnt know what was going on. Once inside, old master Mo directly tossed a phone onto the table, This is Manager Zhangs phone. Look at the video inside. Mo Yaoxiong frowned, Dad, Ive seen it already. Old master Mos face darkened, Watch the one at the back! Mo Yaoxiong had no choice but to pick up the phone. There were two videos inside. The first one was the one that had just been shown in the back garden. As for the second one As soon as Mo Yaoxiong started ying it, he heard Qu Yunyao frantically calling out, brother-inw He quickly pressed stop. Dad, this Mo Yaoxiongs face turned red. He couldnt believe what he just heard. Was Qu Yunyao just calling for Xiao Yebai? Did she have feelings for Xiao Yebai? Old Master Mo spoke up in a frosty tone, Uncle Shi has already packed up their belongings. Tell Xu Jing that they wont be allowed to stay in this house anymore. I understand. Mo Yaoxiong was shocked. He was grateful that Zhang Dechang had only yed the first video earlier. If the second video had been yed publicly as well, exposing that the younger sister was coveting her elder sisters husband while residing in the same house, that would be After a moment of thought, he quickly added, Dad, Weiyi and Yebai still dont know about this. I think You think Yebai doesnt know? Old Master Mo coldly interrupted him. Dad. Mo Yaoxiongs eyes widened in surprise, Do you mean Ive already been in touch with the media. No wind of tonights incident will leak out. Old Master Mos jaws were tightened, under the bright lights, his face was ominously somber, almost scarily so. Find an excuse to send Qu Yunyao abroad immediately. No matter what the truth of the matter was, Qu Yunyao could no longer stay in Nancheng. No woman who harbors desires for Xiao Yebai may remain, no matter who it might be! I understand. Mo Yaoxiong could only agree. * * Lishui Bay Vi. The moment Mo Weiyi arrived home, she received a phone call from her best friend, gossiping about the nights events. Mo Weiyi told everything that happened, and finally said, I just asked my dad, and he said the child was lost, and this may affect her ability to conceive in the future. After talking for a while, when Xiao Yebai came out of the bathroom, she said immediately, I have to hang up now. Okay. Xiaobai, are you still feeling dizzy? Mo Weiyi stood up and looked at Xiao Yebai worriedly. Earlier in the banquet hall, he said he felt dizzy. On the way back, he didnt seem to be in high spirits and had been resting for quite a while. Much better. Xiao Yebai put on his sses. Back in the garden, he did indeed take a sip of that ss of wine. But because the light was dim and Xu Rui had ulterior motives, he only took two sips before quickly pouring out the rest. When he returned, he drank a lot of tea to dilute the effect of the drug. He was no longer experiencing any negative side effects. Mo Weiyi nodded and asked, Was that man, Manager Zhang, whom we metst time in Haicheng? She remembered that when they arrived at the banquet hall, Qu Yunyao left not long after and Zhang Dechang also left. The next day, Qu Yunyao and Xu Rui took a ne back to Nancheng. Was that when Zhang Dechang and Qu Yunyao got together? I remember he has a wife and children, right? Hes already in his forties, yet he could do something like that, with people all around, in broad daylight, like that. His clothes were You saw it? Xiao Yebai interrupted her suddenly. Mo Weiyi was stunned, What? You saw him undressed? Mo Weiyi immediately shook her head, No, when I saw it, he had already dressed, and then you came out. Hearing this, Xiao Yebai pursed his lips. HIs move was fleeting. But Mo Weiyi was quick to catch it, teasingly saying, Hey, Xiaobai, dont worry. Even if I did see it, I wouldnt be interested in other men. Chapter 434: 434, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [Welfare] Chapter 434: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [Welfare] But Mo Weiyi quickly answered with a grin, Oh, Xiaobai, dont worry. I wont be interested in other men. Xiao Yebai: Because Im only interested in you! Mo Weiyi finished and couldnt help butugh. Back when she was in school, although it was the period of youthful innocence, the education on that aspect was very ambiguous, forcing her to get Rong An to buy a bunch of stuff to study. However It turns out that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is indeed a valid statement. Because Xiao Yebai is the man she likes, she truly believes he is perfect. As she was thinking about it, her beautiful cat-like eyes were looking towards Xiao Yebai. Xiao Yebai was wearing casual home clothes, loose and rxed, and he was currently sitting at the head of the bed, with the tablemp on, reading a thick book. A studious man is naturally charming, and the scene of him wearing sses while engrossed in his book is even more refined and handsome.
    Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, Xiaobai. What? Xiao Yebai looked at the book in his hand without moving an inch, and his gaze never budged at all. He had no idea that in such a short span of time, many thoughts had gone through Mo Weiyis mind. Xiaobai, I want to Xiao Yebai lifted his head, still maintaining a detached and cool demeanor, What do you want? Mo Weiyi: Why was this Xiaobai as wooden as a nk! There was no emotional connection at all! Xiao Yebai slightly raised his handsome eyebrows, and looked at her expression, seemingly confused. Who gave you that? Xiao Yebai continued to ask. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to honestly confess, Its from the time when you celebrated your birthday, I asked Wanwan for it. However, she didnt need it at the time, and today she just Stay away from her in the future. Xiao Yebai ordered. Mo Weiyi: Okay. Su Wanwan didnt even know that she had been mysteriously cklisted. She sent a WeChat message to Shi Huan, asking if she had seen the excitement.
    Unexpectedly, Shi Huan, this straightforward girl, actually sent back several photos. And the photos were quite revealing. Oh my gosh. Su Wanwan took a nce and immediately deleted them.
    They were eye-popping! How could this cousin of Mo Weiyi be so indelicate? Shes already three months pregnant, but shes fooling around with men in the back garden of the banquet hall, and she ended up being caught in the act by so many people, causing her to have a miscarriage. This incident isnt just her own embarrassment, its also making the whole Mo family a topic of discussion among Nanchengs public for quite some time! Even if the news is suppressed, with so many people present today, the news will definitely leak. Su Wanwan casually opened Weibo and the forums, and posts were already pouring out. Until Shi Huan sent another WeChat message, [These photos are requested by Mr. Chu.] Su Wenwen: And then. [Can you give me Miss Mos WeChat? I want to return her dress and jewelry.] Su Wanwan simply created a WeChat group, pulling Shi Huan and Mo Weiyi in. At that moment, Shi Huan was still downstairs in the banquet hall. She @mentioned Mo Weiyi for a while in the group with no response, checked the time, and figured she might already be resting.
    When she looked up again, Chu Xiuhuang was still talking to Gu Huaian. When the banquet ended, Chu Xiuhuang told her to wait here, so shed been waiting for half an hour already. She got up to change out of the dress, but after only two steps Stop! Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly called out. Shi Huan had no choice but to stop and turn around, Mr. Chu. What are you doing? Chu Xiuhuang put his hands in his suit pockets, his face slightly gloomy, giving her a disgruntled look. She was ready to run away after turning a blind eye? Very naughty! Shi Huan said, I want to go and change this dress. Take me back to the hospital first. Okay. Shi Huan ended up following him towards the elevator. Once they got into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement level, she immediately opened her bag, and took out a down jacket. The underground parking garage was very cold, especially now that it was already past ten at night, it was simply freezing.
    Chapter 435: 435, Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold Chapter 435: Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold What are you doing again? Chu Xiuhuang once again put forth his displeased question. Shi Huan was holding onto a pile of clothes, Its too cold, Im putting them on first. Chu Xiuhuang nced at her with a sarcastically sweet tone, Am I not cold? But I only brought my clothes. So do you think this is appropriate? I was wrong. Shi Huan immediately apologized. When they arrived, they parked directly on the red carpet at the entrance, and Chu Xiuhuang was dressed in a suit and she was carrying the bag, so Shi Huan quickly handed over the clothes, Mr. Chu, you wear it out of necessity. Who knew Chu Xiuhuangs eyes would narrow again, looking very displeased, Do you think your clothes would fit someone of my height? Shi Huan was a bit speechless, So Mr. Chu, what do you really want?
    If I dont wear it, youre not allowed to wear it. If were cold, were cold together! Apany me! Mr. Chu shamelessly stated. Shi Huan: She looked at him, not saying anything. The elevator quickly arrived and opened up. Just as Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, a slight smirk ying on his lips, preparing to walk out with her Shi Huan suddenly spread out her down jacket and slipped it onto her body. Chu Xiuhuang twitched at the corners of his mouth, his long, narrow eyes firmly squinted together, just ring coldly down at her. Until she zipped up her down jacket, properly d and warm, he maintained his original posture without a change. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Shi Huan stretched out her hand to block it and kindly reminded, Mr. Chu, were already at the basement level, arent you getting out? My eyes arent blind! Chu Xiuhuang finished and walked out briskly as if blowing off steam. This damn woman! Did she just blink before putting on that down jacket? Didnt she have a shred of empathy that he was also a person who could freeze out here? Chu Xiuhuang was pretty mad. But right after stepping out of the corridor, a chilly wind blew through God damn it! Its actually so cold! The effect was immediate; young master Chu, now just in his thin three-piece suit, was instantly even more furious. Hes freezing to death!
    God damn it! The womans tiny retreating footsteps sounded from behind him, Mr. Chu, its really too cold here. You should wait in the corridor and Ill go bring the car over. Regardless, Chu Xiuhuang did not stop his feet and walked forward with long strides. The basement parking lot was truly cold at this moment, and especially around the corner where the air venty. Shi Huan could even hear the howling wind.
    She tightened her down jacket, feeling that the bare half of her leg exposed to the cold wind was about to turn to ice, and probably could break off with a knock of a hammer Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu, where are you going? Chu Xiuhuang ignored her, his long legs carrying him swiftly onwards. Shi Huan quickly raised the car key in her hand, Mr. Chu, I have the car key, Mr. Chu! Chu Xiuhuang still ignored her and walked straight ahead. Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows. Forget it. She pressed the car key, followed the sign to the left, kept walking forward, and soon, the ck Cayenne in front of her emitted a pleasant response sound. I found the car, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu! Quickly,e here Mr. Chu! Shi Huan was getting a headache, feeling her goal to preserve her voice going astray, but Chu Xiuhuang seemed to have not heard anything. He just kept walking, non-stop This jerk! Finally, at the front where it seemed he couldnt proceed any further, the mans figure stopped, then turned around and began to walk back. Shi Huan, suppressing an urge to roll her eyes, secretly grumbled.
    With Mr. Chus proud and aloof personality, she didnt know which poor girl will be unfortunate enough to be Mrs. Chu in the future? Another gust of chilling wind blew fiercely. It was really too cold, and Shi Huan couldnt bother to think anymore. She quickly opened the car door and jumped in. However When she lifted her head, she noticed in the rearview mirror that Chu Xiuhuangs figure had stopped again. What happened now? Shi Huan started the engine, turned on the heater, and kept her beautiful eyes on the rearview mirror, noticing that he hadnt moved at all. She was utterly puzzled. This Mr. Chu Did he freeze stupid? ** Chu Xiuhuang stood there, his tall and handsome silhouette was gloomy and dark. This damn woman, actually didnt wait for him who was still suffering in the cold, and jumped in the car herself? Or was she going to drive back to pick him up? Yet he stood there, waiting for quite a while
    God damn it! The car hasnt moved! But he couldnt bear the piercing cold of the cold wind Chu Xiuhuang, dark-faced, finally walked over, and swung the passenger door open. By then, Shi Huan had already turned on the heater and turned around upon hearing the noise, Mr. Chu. Chu Xiuhuang was indeed very angry but as soon as he looked at her face Whether it was because the cars interior lights were too bright, that lightly made up face looked incredibly beautiful. She was titled her head up, her paired almond eyes, clear and innocent, staring at him. His heart gave a sharp crack. Damn it! Chu Xiuhuang found himself strangely unable to get angry. He pressed his thin lips together and sat down in a distinctly aloof manner, Drive. Okay. The ck Cayenne quickly pulled away.
    Mr. Chu, your coat is on the backseat. Achoo! Shi Huan: She quickly turned up the air conditioning another two degrees. After all, if Mr. Chu really caught a cold, she would be the one stuck taking care of him and wasting her time. As the heat gradually filled the car, Shi Huan drove in silence and Chu Xiuhuang began sending all the photos she had just sent to their WJY group chat. Nangong Ci: [Damn!] Nangong Ci: [Damn!] Nangong Ci: [Damn!] Ming Jing: [Second Brother, you should have given me a heads up.] Nangong Ci: [This woman really is something!] Gu Huaian: [So this is what happened after I left?] Nangong Ci: [Old Gu, seems like tomorrows headlines will be yours to surrender!] Lu Chenyu: [Heh. ] Suddenly, Shi Huans phone rang. She hurriedly picked it up, Luoluo. Huanhuan, when are youing back? Im scared The little girls soft voice carried a whiff of tears. Shi Huan quicklyforted, Dont be afraid, Luoluo. Ill be home soon. Why dont you turn the TV on and watch something in the meanwhile? How soon is soon? Shi Huan checked the time, Forty minutes, okay? I promise! Okay then, Huanhuan, please hurry home. Okay. Off to the side, Chu Xiuhuangs brows were furrowed. Forty minutes? Such a deceitful sister! But after about ten minutes, the car pulled up in front of Nangong Hospital. Shi Huan said, Mr. Chu, were here. Chu Xiuhuang red at her discontentedly, What do you mean by this? Youre just going to leave me here? Expecting me to walk home? Shi Huan exined, My sister is alone at home and shes really scared. I promised her Id be home in forty minutes, the journey back is just about that long. Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, Why is your sister living with you? Didnt you say shes your uncles daughter? He knew Shi Huan had a one-bedroom apartment of her own. Although the apartment was notrge, given its prime location and the fact it was bought before property prices skyrocketed, it was now worth at least two million. Shi Huan really had an eye for investment. Her response was brief, Its because she likes me. Chu Xiuhuang: After a while. So, she can live with you just because she likes you? Chu Xiuhuang eyed her suspiciously. If she said yes, he would immediately Mr. Chu, youre overthinking. Shi Huan snuffed his train of thoughts with a single sentence. Because shes my sister and shes alone with no one to take care of her, so shes living with me, Shi Huan thought she made it quite clear, but What about her parents? If its their child, why arent they taking care of her? Why do they need you, her cousin, to look after her? Shi Huan frowned, but before she could speak. Is her father a moron? Chu Xiuhuang was suddenly filled with an inexplicable rage. Last time because of that gluttonous little girl, he didnt get to taste Shi Huans cooking. And this time, she was actually rushing home? Leaving him stranded in front of the hospital? Do they think they can wash their hands off their own child? Is it appropriate for an unmarried girl like you to be looking after their child every day? Those who bear children and fail to raise them are unworthy of being parents! Chu Xiuhuangs words grew increasingly heated. If they didnt want to raise a child, then why did they have one? Why couldnt they exercise control over their own personal desires? Why not just relieve themselves against a wall instead of inside a woman? Shi Huan stared at him nkly, Mr. Chu, you These men are the scum of the earth! Scum! Barely better than animals! At the end, Chu Xiuhuang concluded. Shi Huan again: Though her uncle indeed had his shorings, he was still family. She narrowed her eyes, her voice adopting an edge of seriousness, Mr. Chu, I dont appreciate yourments about my family. They see you as cheapbour, exploiting your full value, and the money youve earned through hard work over the years, from dawn to dusk, has all been taken by these parasite rtives to repay their debts. And you still call them family? They dont deserve it! Only a fool like you would treat them as such With each word, Shi Huans face kept getting paler and paler. Before he could finish, she suddenly turned around and pushed open the car door. What are you doing? Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, he quickly followed her out when he saw her alight from the vehicle. Hey, what do you think youre doing? Shi Huan quickly walked to the other side of the road andto his surprise, started gging down a taxi. Damn it! Chu Xiuhuang cursed. He was about to run over to her when he saw a taxi driving towards them. Shi Huan quickly hailed it and just like that, leapt in and left. Chu Xiuhuang stood there, watching the taxi drive away. After a moment. Achoo! In the chilling wind wearing a thin three-piece suit, he had to shuttle twice between the underground parking lot and the hospital entrance. So, the next day, Chu Xiuhuang magnificently caught a cold. Chapter 436: 436, Gathering Place of Little Fairies Chapter 436: Gathering ce of Little Fairies Nancheng University. Because of indulging himself the previous night, Mo Weiyi overslept and only had a chance to check his phone after he arrived at school. There were loads of messages on WeChat, apart from those sent by Ling Zhizhou, the rest were from a group chat of three people. Theres no name for it? Mo Weiyi promptly changed the group name to Little Fairy Gathering ce, and then sent a Quan Luer emoticon. Shi Huan: [Miss Mo, Ive already washed the dress from yesterday, when are you free today? Id like to return the dress and the jewelry to you.] Mo Weiyi: [Dont be so formal, Im at school today, you cane by anytime.] Shi Huan: [Alright.] Mo Weiyi thought it would be at least the afternoon, but as soon as the g-raising ceremony was over, Shi Huans call came in. At the school gate, Shi Huan handed over a bag, Miss Mo, Ive hand washed the dress, steamed it and hung it on the heater overnight to dry. And the jewelry, its all in there.
    Mo Weiyi took the bag, In the future, just call me Weiyi, dont be so formal, youre Wanwans friend, and thus my friend. Shi Huan smiled. Who knew, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Secretary Shi, do you want to be my friend? Eh? Shi Huan had never before encountered someone asking in such a way. Do you want to be my friend? Isnt friendship something that naturally happens as you interact and spend time together? Mo Weiyi spoke seriously, I dont have many friends, Wanwan is my best friend, but ever since she got married its been hard for us to meet. Secretary Shi, being so smart, you should be my friend, okay? Trust me, Im really good to friends! Erm Shi Huan found herself a bit overwhelmed by the little princesss enthusiasm and could only nod, Okay. Great, then Ill call you Little Huanhuan from now on, is that okay? Little Huanhuan? Shi Huan felt a bit awkward. Howe, like a certain someone, she also liked calling this name. Certain someone? Shi Huan looked at the time and hurriedly said, Im sorry, Miss Mo, I need to go take care of Mr. Chu at the hospital, I dont have much time, I should go, goodbye. Huh? Before Mo Weiyi could respond, Shi Huan had already turned around, briskly got into a Dongfeng SUV parked by the roadside, and drove off quickly. She left like a gust of wind! Mo Weiyi stood there, her delicate face showing a touch of admiration. Wow, Secretary Shi is so beautiful, yet so smart and capable, even driving cars this coolly! And its an SUV! This friend, shes definitely going to make! **
    Shi Huan stopped at her usual breakfast ce, picked up some breakfast, then drove to the hospital. Rushing all over the ce, it was already half past nine when she arrived at the hospital. As soon as she opened the door to the patients room, as expected, young master Chu was throwing a tantrum. Why are you only here now? Didnt we agree that youde over to bring me breakfast by nine every day?
    Shi Huan exined, Im sorry, I went to the school to return Miss Mos dress, and it dyed some time. Whats more important? Miss Mo? Or your bosss stomach? Young master Chu wore an usatory face. Shi Huan went straight over with the takeaway, then quickly opened it, Mr. Chu, its time for breakfast. The scent of the food sessfully eased Chu Xiuhuangs anger. However Achoo! Chu Xiuhuang let out a big sneeze. Shi Huan quickly handed him a tissue, Mr. Chu, take care of your health. Its toote. Chu Xiuhuang sniffed his stately nose, Thanks to you, I have a cold now. Shi Huan quickly frowned, My mistake. With such a good apology, Chu Xiuhuang couldnt get mad anymore. Although he was really frustratedst night, even tossing and turning all night, thinking about whether he had said something too harsh? He thought he was just looking out for her, so why was this silly woman angry with him?
    The Shi family elders were clearly taking advantage of her as cheapbor, exploiting her value ruthlessly over so many years. He just spoke the truth about it, and she got angry with him, how ridiculous! And she left him and his car at the hospital entrance! If shes so capable, why doesnt she stand up to the Shi family elders? Chu Xiuhuang picked up his chopsticks, then, noticing her outfit, scowled, Why are you wearing these clothes again? ck turtleneck sweater, ck jeans, loose enough topletely hide any curves, and with her hair back to its original style, she was even wearing huge ck-rimmed sses. Shi Huan adjusted her sses, Is there a problem? Chu Xiuhuang: He forcefully grabbed a bun and stuffed it whole into his mouth. Shi Huan hurriedly tried to warn him, Mr. Chu, its hot But it was toote. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang instantly spat the bun back out. Mr. Chu, I got soup dumplings. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth was wide open, and he couldnt recover for a while.
    What the hell He was scalded! Shi Huan: It honestly wasnt her fault, she had warned him, but he acted so quickly. Seeing Chu Xiuhuang continually holding his mouth open, looking severely scalded, she couldnt help but ask, Mr. Chu, do you want me to call the doctor? But Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand and waved to her. Shi Huan stared nkly, not understanding what he meant. Come over! Chu Xiuhuang spoke impatiently, his tongue a bit heavy, it was obvious he was really scalded. Shi Huan quickly walked over. Closer! Shi Huan had no choice but to get a bit closer. Then, Chu Xiuhuang pointed at his mouth, Help blow on it. Shi Huan was startled:
    What the heck? It hurts, help me blow on it. After Chu Xiuhuang said it, he gave her a stern look, Hurry up! Chapter 437: 437, Big Light Bulb Chapter 437: Big Light Bulb Shi Huan looked at him, inexplicably reminded of Little Luoluo. The little girl once drank soup too quickly, not being careful enough, got her tongue scalded, simr to Young Master Chus situation right now, screaming in pain, asking for it to be blown cooled They were exactly the same. Hurry up! Chu Xiuhuang said in displeasure. Perhaps because she was reminded of Little Luoluo, Shi Huan bent down as if possessed and began blowing air towards Chu Xiuhuang. Once. And again. The cool breeze carried a womans fragrance, blowing over the scalded mouth and tongue tip, making Chu Xiuhuang feel instantly better. Then his gaze inevitably fell on her face. She was serious about helping him blow on it, thus her lips were slightly pouting. Even without lipstick, they were moist and tender, like two pieces of plump jello.
    He couldnt help but think of what happened at the club. Though he was a bit drunk at the time, he was still conscious, so he remembered that taste clearly. His sharp, ink-ck eyes narrowed and Chu Xiuhuang leaned in slowly. Just as he was about to touch her Shi Huan quickly backed away. Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, about to lose his temper. Shi Huan raised her hand, brushing the ck hair on her face all behind her ears, then started blowing again seriously. Her small, white, peach-shaped face was now fully exposed, even though she was still wearing herrge ck-rimmed sses. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth half open, just let her continue to blow air, once after another. A faint scent entered his nostrils, as if it hade from her hair. Chu Xiuhuang found he was having trouble looking away. Xiaohuan, he called. Shi Huan paused, and as she lifted her head, she saw Chu Xiuhuang staring at her. Whats wrong? Just as she felt puzzled, Chu Xiuhuang ced his hand on her shoulder The half-closed door was flung open with a ng, and Nangong Ci yelled in a loud voice, Second Brother, Big Brother said Oh, shit! I didnt see anything, I swear! Im leaving, bye! Nangong Ci took a few steps back, then couldnt help but nce back, Damn, youre not even going to stop me? Huo Jingshen stood at the doorway, emotionless. At the side of the hospital bed, Shi Huan already stood up.
    She turned around, saw the impassive Huo Jingshen standing at the door, and met his prating gaze. Inexplicably, Shi Huans heart skipped a beat. As if she had been caught in the act of doing something wrong. But She clearly hadnt done anything.
    Shi Huan reassured herself, then gave Huo Jingshen a slight nod, quickly picked up the fruits, and calmly went into the bathroom. Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple times, stretching one long leg to cover his embarrassment. Dammit, he was about to touch his secretarys lips, these damn spoilsports! He frowned, What are you here for? Huo Jingshen strode in, scowling, Whos the asshole who called me here? Asshole Chu Xiuhuangs lips twitched in response. He admitted, I thought you wouldnte. I didnt want toe, Huo Jingshen sat down on the sofa, speaking bluntly. He was just passing by, didnt expect to witness such an unsightly scene. Watching Chu Xiuhuang start eating breakfast, he grumbled, Say what you need to, and be quick about it. Chu Xiuhuang took a bite of delicious crab-filled bun and sighed with satisfaction, Big Brother, Im eating breakfast now, could we talk a bit more civilly? Huo Jingshen nced at his watch, You have 10 minutes.
    Ok. Then, Nangong Ci ran in again. He nced at the bathroom and grinned slyly, Second brother, you say, youre just going to kiss her without even closing the door? Are there hospital regtions preventing patients from kissing? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted him with a wicked look. Though he didnt actually manage to kiss her. Damn shame. Well, no, Nangong Ci smiled cheekily as he found a chair to sit, I heard you took Secretary Shi to the Mo Familys anniversary partyst night. Why are there only scandalous photos and none of Secretary Shi? Chu Xiuhuang red, What are you trying to do? Check out the beauty! Ever since he saw Shi Huan in a swimsuit, Nangong Ci scored her highly in his heart. Shes such a beauty, he couldnt understand why she always disguised herself. Chu Xiuhuang mmed down his spoon, She is my secretary! Cant I even take a look? No! Second brother is such a miser!
    Footsteps neared, and Chu Xiuhuang fell silent, focusing on his breakfast instead. Shi Huan ced the fruits on the sofa, knowing that Huo Jingshen was here probably for business matters, she said, Ill go downstairs to buy some more fruits. Chu Xiuhuang immediately spoke gently, Go ahead, and buy some more tissue while youre at it. Ive used them all up. Nangong Ci burst outughing, quickly covering his mouth. With a darkened face, Huo Jingshen thought this guy was shameless. Oh, and buy two pairs of boxers, ck, biggest size. You know, Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow suggestively. Shi Huan: Her right eyelid started twitching rapidly. Actually, it wasnt like she had never helped Young Master Chu buy clothes before. Of course, she knew his clothing size and preferences. But now, there were two strangers in the hospital room. Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature and steady, his emotions not easily read. On the other hand, that Nangong Ci was having a tough time stifling hisughter C despite holding his hand over his mouth, he was still giggling, his shoulders shaking continuously.
    Chapter 438: 438, Luo Yiyi Chapter 438: Luo Yiyi Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature andposed, never showing his emotions on his face. However, Nangong Ci, was struggling to hold back hisughter, cupping his mouth making pfft sounds, his shoulders continuously shaking Suppressing a cough, she nodded, Does Mr. Chu need anything else? No, you can go. Chu Xiuhuang continued his gentle tone. Shi Huan quickly turned and left. As soon as she closed the door, sure enough, she heard Nangong Cis unrestrainedughter. With a resigned shake of her head, Shi Huan breathed out and walked downstairs. * * Nangong Hospital had an internal goods supermarket, filled with all kinds of goods, all of which were naturally expensive.
    Shi Huan quickly finished her shopping, but did not leave immediately. She strolled around in the little garden at the back until half an hourter, Huo Jingshen had left after his meeting, and Chu Xiuhuang sent a message urging her toe back. Only then did Shi Huan, loaded with shopping bags, return to the hospital building the same way she came. Just as she entered the hall, a familiar female voice called out, apanied by the click of high heels, Secretary Shi! Shi Huan stopped and looked. It was Luo Yiyi, whom she had met at the banquet hallst night. Miss Luo? Dressed in a short pearl-white fur coat, shiny ck leggings, and matching knee-high boots, Luo Yiyi had a small Chanel cowhide bag slung diagonally over her shoulder. Her delicate makeup on her angry face wasden with usation, Did youin to Mr. Chu, leading to Huan Entertainment withdrawing the coboration with our Luo Family? Shi Huan frowned, What do you mean? Still pretending naivete? Luo Yiyi gritted her teeth, After I spilled on your dressst night, can you still say that this has nothing to do with you? She had simply dirtied her dress, but unexpectedly, this woman had turned around andined to Mr. Chu. Who did not know that Mr. Chu and the man from Huan Entertainment were close friends, and their ns, including the Huo Family, the Nangong Family, and even the Lu Family, were all in a circle Their rtionships were so close, outsiders simply could not get in. Her father scolded her for a full hour as soon as she got up this morning, saying that when Mr. Gu terminated the contract, he only said one thing, Go ask your precious daughter who she has offended. Who did she offend? Luo Yiyi naturally thought of Shi Huan first. She had not expected this in-looking secretary, who was like an old nun, to have such trust from Mr. Chu? He bought her such an expensive dress yesterday, and now, for her sake, he was directly venting his anger on the entire Luo Corporation. The sudden termination of the contract caused Luo Corporation to lose millions instantly, and she was scolded harshly by her father. Under Chu Jingyis guidance, she came to the hospital looking for Chu Xiuhuang to plead, but the nurse didnt even ry the message, saying that during Mr. Chus stay in the hospital, he would not meet anyone. But why was Shi Huan hanging around the hospital all day long?
    And in her hands, she was carrying so many items, including mens underwear? Those were obviously for Mr. Chu! Luo Yiyi clenched her fist, momentarily angry and envious, her pretty face contorting. Shi Huan, however, gave a slight smile, Thank you for the reminder Miss Luo. I havent yet sent the bill for the dress to Mr. Luo, its a total of 1.2 million.
    You Luo Yiyi was even more furious. Seeing Shi Huan dressed in that so ordinary, so in, so unremarkable down jacket. Why was someone like that able to stay by Mr. Chus side for so many years? In her rage and resentment, Luo Yiyi flung her palm towards Shi Huans face. At that time, Shi Huan was holding a bag of tissues in one hand and arge bag of fruit in the other, and had no time to dodge. The palm was quick and sharp. At the critical moment, a mans hand appeared out of nowhere, holding the womans wrist tightly. The strength was so great that Luo Yiyi cried out in pain,Ah! It hurts! Let go of me, who are you But when she saw the mans face, she immediately fell silent. It was Lu Chenyu! Mr. Chus best friend. As she liked Chu Xiuhuang, she naturally paid attention to his news. She knew that over the years, the women around him came and went, but his best friend had always been Lu Chenyu. This Lu Chenyu was a well-known topwyer in Nancheng, any case that fell into his hands, even a ck one could be argued as white, he has never lost a case since he started working.
    The reason why Chu Xiuhuang could act so recklessly over the years was not unrted to Lu Chenyu. The two even had a bunch of brain-dead fan pairs. She once tried to study them, butter found that it was like a cult, the two men could even be fantasized about all sorts of love and hate. So Luo Yiyi was somewhat afraid of him and had to bear the pain while staying quiet. Lu Chenyu quickly let go of his fingers and asked Shi Huan with a straight face, Is there a problem? Shi Huan blinked and shook her head hurriedly, No, she didnt hit me. Lu Chenyu nodded and walked towards the elevator. Shi Huan quickly followed. Luo Yiyi stood there, stomping her foot in anger. When she saw the red mark on her wrist, she was even more upset. She took out her phone and quickly dialed a number. The call was picked up quickly. Whats wrong, Yiyi? Sister Jingyi. Luo Yiyi spoke in a coquettish tone, her eyes turning red with grievance, What should I do? I havee to the hospital, but Mr. Chu refuses to see me.
    Chapter 439: 439, arent you narcissistic, Little Princess? Chapter 439: arent you narcissistic, Little Princess? Hehe. Chu Jingyi chuckled, I warned you before: dont be impulsive. My little brother is famously ruthless when he turns on someone. Shi Huan is his secretary; you wore the dress he gifted you, then deliberately spilled wine on it, embarrassing her in public. You nned to insult my brother, didnt you? Its no surprise that hes angered and holding a grudge against your family. Cant you understand that? What should I do now, Sister Jingyi? Luo Yiyi stomped anxiously, You were the one who told me to approach Secretary Shi yesterday. All I did was spill some wine on her dress Before she finished, Chu Jingyi cut her off. Yesterday, I merely informed you that Shi Huan was my brothers femalepanion. You are the one who lostposure and purposely spilled red wine on her. Luo Yiyi felt nauseated yet could only continue humbly, Now our familys business coboration with Huan Entertainment has been called off. My dad said he already borrowed from the banks for it; due to the cancetion, we have now lost millions. He ordered me to rectify this, but young master Chu absolutely refuses to see me. As for business dealings, it would be better for us women to stay out, replied Chu Jingyizily. If your father wants to yell at you, just let him. Youre his only daughter, what could he possibly do to you? But If you really want to make up for the losses, it isntpletely impossible, interjected Chu Jingyi, abruptly changing her tone. Impatient, Luo Yiyi asked, What, Sister Jingyi? Tell me, quick! You could go and kneel before Shi Huan while admitting your mistakes. Be very humble with your attitude and tone. If she softens, then theres a possibility
    Me, apologizing on my knees to that old maid? Impossible! Luo Yiyi promptly interrupted. Very well then. Chu Jingyi chuckled. I have other matters to attend to, I will hang up now. Before Luo Yiyi could react, the phone call was disconnected. Luo Yiyi looked at her darkening phone screen, bing heated to the point of rage. Was she just yed like a fool? ** Nancheng University. Following lunch, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan, as usual, arrived at the reading room. Ling Zhizhou was already there waiting. He had secured the same seats as before, one next to him and the other opposite. Su Wanwan travelled to the seat opposite and watched as Mo Weiyi sat down beside Ling Zhizhou. She pulled out her textbooks and soon became engrossed in her studies. After finishing a set of papers an hourter, Su Wanwan set down her pen. As she went to pick up her thermal sk, she unintentionally looked up and captured a beautiful scene. Due to being in the library, Mo Weiyi had taken off her coat. Wearing a slightly oversized pink sweater with her long honey-colored curly hair,bined with refined nude makeup, she looked like a pretty doll. Mo Weiyi was engrossed in her English exercises while Ling Zhizhou stared at her intently, his gaze unwavering and almost fervent, as if he was under her spell. Their seats were by the window, and the winter sun in the afternoon came streaming through, casting a golden glow upon them. Young and wonderful. Furrowing her brows, Su Wanwan picked up her pen and gently tapped it on the table. Ling Zhizhou immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to read. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi looked up. Whats the matter, Wanwan?
    After a nce at Ling Zhizhou, Su Wanwan pursed her lips, Come get some fresh air with me, will you? Sure. Mo Weiyi put her pen down. ** Outside, in a peaceful corner, Su Wanwan got straight to the point, Is this Ling Zhizhou chasing after you?
    Even though Im as beautiful as a flower, hes my junior by two years. What nasty stories are you cooking up in your mind? Mo Weiyi batted her clear cat eyes at her, as if hearing a tall tale. But the way he looks at you is suspicious. The fascinated look from earlier was undoubtedly that of an admirer; it couldnt be more obvious. Su Wanwan was confident in her judgment. And what about him being younger by two years? In these times, you even hear about couples with an age gap of ten years. There are even teacher-student rtionships happening at the school. Youre a married woman. Watch your words and actions. Mo Weiyi burst outughing, Sweet Wanwan, have you been reading too many romance novels? Does he know youre already married? Su Wanwan continued, her face serious. As the schools beauty, any information about Mo Weiyi can easily be found in abundance by a simple search on the schools forum. Everyone knows about her. She couldnt believe that Ling Zhizhou would be unaware. But if he knows, why would he show such affection to a married woman? Su Wanwan had a feeling something was not quite right.
    I havent said anything, Mo Weiyi puffed her cheeks, Perhaps he doesnt know. Su Wanwan: Fair enough. In that case, she was willing to drop her previous suspicions, Then you should find an opportunity to tell him as soon as possible to avoid any scandals. Who knows what Xiao Bai might think? Mo Weiyi seemed thoughtful, Makes sense. She had to consider Xiaobais feelings too. The next moment. But if I say it so directly, wouldnt it make me seem too narcissistic? As if I assume everyone is into me? Hehe. Su Wanwan gave an amused smirk, Arent you narcissistic, little princess? Mo Weiyi smiled slyly, Alright then, Ill tell him next time. Alright, Su Wanwan nodded. Even though she didnt really like Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi was wholly devoted to him. There was no need to create a scandal at school. Moreover, with matters of the heart, its best to nip it in the bud. If Ling Zhizhou ended up getting hurt, it would not be good.
    Chapter 440: 440, you look quite like my sister. Chapter 440: you look quite like my sister. When they returned to the reading room, Su Wanwan had just sat down when she heard Mo Weiyi say, Ling Zhizhou, I want to talk to you, can youe out for a moment? Sure. Ling Zhizhou stood up with a smile, eagerly following Mo Weiyi out. Poor kid, he mighte back crying, thought Su Wanwan silently to herself. ** Once outside, Mo Weiyi came straight to the point, Ling Zhizhou, do you know Im married? Ling Zhizhous face noticeably stiffened, his voice hesitant, Youare married? Oh no, thought Mo Weiyi. He really didnt know she was married? Wasnt she famous enough at school? She used to think that Ling Zhizhou was the only student in the past two years who didnt give her special treatment because of her status as the little princess of the Mo family, but it turned out he didnt know at all.
    Mo Weiyi had no choice but to say, Yes, Ive been married for two years and my husband and I are very much in love. We were each others first love. Really? Ling Zhizhous expression seemed a bit downcast, Thats enviable. Mo Weiyi looked at him apologetically, Im sorry, Ling Zhizhou, I know youve been good to me, but I have never cheated on She never got out the word cheating. Why would you apologize? Ling Zhizhou quickly interrupted her, Does your marital status have anything to do with our friendship? Mo Weiyi blinked in confusion, Umm Senior, I just thought you looked very simr to my sister, so when I saw you in the exam room that day, I felt an affinity towards you, Ling Zhizhou exined. Mo Weiyi sighed in relief, so that was it. But she looked like his sister? In all her life, she had never seen a woman who looked like her. Mo Weiyi, curious, asked, Whats your sisters name? What did she do? Do you have a picture of her on your phone? Ling Zhizhou looked at her, his expression momentarily pained before he said with a smile, My sister has passed away. Huh? Mo Weiyi was taken aback by this answer, quickly apologizing, Im sorry I didnt know Im sorry. Its okay. Ling Zhizhou gave her a brilliant smile, If you are worried that your husband might be upset when he sees me, then Ill keep my distance from you in the future Oh no no, Mo Weiyi hastily denied, my husband is not a petty person and besides, we are friends. Yes. Ling Zhizhou scratched his head, his smile pure and shy. ** Su Wanwan found it strange. After those two came back, they seemed to get along even better? Mo Weiyi was even asking Ling Zhizhou about their assignments, so innocent It was like they were a young couple.
    What happened to himing back in tears? As evening approached, the lights in the reading room came on, and outside the windows, the night gradually fell. Mo Weiyi stood up, Wanwan, I have to go.
    It seems to be raining outside. Su Wanwan asked her, Did you bring an umbre? My Uncle Liu ising to pick me up. Alright. After Mo Weiyi left, Su Wanwan saw Ling Zhizhou across the table suddenly get up, quickly pack his bag and leave as well. ** Just as Mo Weiyi was about to call her driver, she felt a tap on her shoulder from behind, Senior sister. She turned around to see Ling Zhizhou smile and hold out a ck umbre, Here, you can borrow this. Mo Weiyi took the umbre in surprise, What about you? Ill be okay, my coat is thick, and I also have a hood. As he spoke, Ling Zhizhou pulled the hood of his cotton coat over his head, Lets go. Alright. The two of them descended the stairs together, Mo Weiyi opening the umbre. She discovered that Ling Zhizhou had already stepped out into the rain. The rain was heavy and quickly drenched his blue cotton jacket.
    Mo Weiyi frowned, stepped into the misty rain with her umbre, only to find that he was walking ahead. Ling Zhizhou, she couldnt help but call out, Where are you going? Im going to the bank at the school gate to withdraw some money. Then share the umbre with me. The umbre was quite big, the kind ofrge ck umbre that was more than enough for two people to share under. Ling Zhizhou didnt refuse, he reached out to take it, Then let me hold it. Okay. They walked towards the school gate together. As they walked out of the main gate, Mo Weiyi didnt see the familiar Audi. She pulled out her phone and dialed Uncle Lius number, Uncle Liu, have you arrived yet? Princess, Mr. Xiao just called me and said that hesing to pick you up from school tonight. Xiaobai ising to pick me up? Mo Weiyis eyes lit up, she was overjoyed. Ling Zhizhou quickly looked up at her side.
    A ck Bentley slowly came to a stop at the roadside. Mo Weiyi naturally saw it too, and eximed joyfully, I can see his car now. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi said immediately, My husband is here, Ling Zhizhou. Ill go now. Ling Zhizhou withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, Alright. As he finished speaking, he quickly shoved the umbre into her hands and turned around to run off. He moved so quickly that Mo Weiyi had no time to refuse. When she heard the sound of honking behind her, she turned around and quickly went over to open the car door. Xiaobai. The car was filled with warm heat. Xiao Yebai sat on the drivers seat looking indifferent and cultured as he stared out of the misted-over car window with his sharp, deep eyes. Then, his deep and calm voice rang out, Who was that boy? A ssmate, he saw me in the rain and lent me his umbre. And then he let himself get drenched in the rain? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, his tone indifferent butced with clear mockery. Mo Weiyi naturally noticed this, especially when she met his deep, pitch-ck eyes, which felt bottomless. Her heart jumped, and she quickly changed the subject, Xiaobai, howe youre free to pick me up today?
    Xiao Yebai stared at her quietly, his ck pupils unwavering, and did not respond. Chapter 441: 441, thank you, husband. Chapter 441: thank you, husband. Mo Weiyi blinked a few times, a look of innocence on his face. Finally, Xiao Yebai took his gaze away and started the car. To the old house, his voice was t, as if devoid of any emotion. Mo Weiyi put his ck umbre by his feet and let out a silent sigh of relief. Oh. Why does it seem like Xiaobai is getting more jealous? Is it an illusion? It must be an illusion! ** In the reading room. Su Wanwan reviewed Introduction to Communication Studies once again until her phone lit up.
    She immediately got up, packed up her books, took her umbre, and left. Tonight was Huo Junchengs birthday. It was not a significant birthday, and given that the patriarchs health was not good, they just had a family banquet at the Zhejiang Cuisine Restaurant. Only family members were invited. Around six oclock in the evening, Huo Jingshen parked the car in the shopping malls underground parking lot. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw some familiar faces emerging from a ck Mercedes across the way. Ashen. Huo Qinyu greeted him first. Seeing Su Wanwan, her smile altered slightly, yet she nevertheless called out, Wanwan. Xing Guozhi and Xing Siqing also quickly came over. The former was very polite in his greetings while Xing Siqing just said big brother and quickly turned her head away. They went into the lobby and waited for the elevator. Huo Jingshen courteously allowed the elders to go in first. Standing by his side, Su Wanwan held his arm, ying the part of an obedient wife. Watching this, Xing Siqing gritted her teeth in anger. Such a hypocritical bitch! Her brother got transferred to Jiangcheng for work, Su Yanyan was sent off to South Korea, yet here she was, enjoying her life more than ever. Very pleased with herself indeed! Just you wait, it wont be long before I have you thrown out of the Huo family. Then, there will be nowhere for you to cry! ** Everyone else had arrived in the private room. The Huo Family had not gathered like this in a long time. It was lively with everyone present. The moment Huo Zhexi saw Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan enter, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to y with his phone. Hed been living on tenterhooks for the past week, fearing that his parents would suddenly bring up the issue about the hot springs club. He didnt really want toe tonight, but it was his fathers birthday, and with his brother Huo Nuanyang stationed in the military and unable toe, it would have been very unbing for him not to attend.
    Now he could only keep his head down and pray in silence. Looking at her son, Mingzhu was surprisingly pleased. It was rare to see this bad boy acting so obediently. Uncle, this is the gift Ive brought for you. Xing Siqing approached him sweetly. Having previously shed with Su Wanwan, she was now trying very hard to win the favor of the Huo Family.
    Huo Juncheng epted her gift and, just as he put it aside, she added, Its your favorite golf club set from pliihap. I ced the order a month ago. Upon hearing this, Huo Juncheng was pleasantly surprised. So Siqing knows I like ying golf. Of course. Xing Siqing smiled demurely. I also know that you love drinking tea. I bought some top-quality Dragon Well tea, but the delivery was dyed by the manufacturer. If it wasnt for that, I would have brought two gifts tonight. Her words delighted the birthday man, earning her much praise. The other guests followed with their gifts. When Huo Jingshen presented his gift, Xing Siqing suddenly asked, Didnt Wanwan prepare a gift? Huo Qinyu immediately nudged her, warning her with her eyes. But Xing Siqing just pouted and said in a pitiful voice, Mom, why did you push me? I was just curious, cant I ask a question? She turned to Su Wanwan again, What gift did you prepare for Uncle? Do tell. Su Wanwan remained silent, not answering. She had been busy preparing for the term-end exams at schooltely and had rarely been home. She hadnt even thought of a gift. However, Huo Jingshen had taken care of it all beforehand, saying there was no need for her to do so. But who would have thought, hed only prepared one gift Itsmon for a couple to give a joint gift, especially when Huo Jingshens gift was expensive. But now that Xing Siqing had pointed it out like this, it looked somewhat bad.
    Huo Juncheng quickly intervened, Wanwan is still studying. Her gift was presented by Ashen already. Thats right, as long as the thought is there, added Mingzhu,ughing. Clearly, the couple was siding with Su Wanwan. Nodding, Xing Siqing acted like she understood, True, I forgot that Wanwan doesnt have an ie yet. Su Wanwan curled her lips into a forced smile, watching Xing Siqing. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Jingshens hand rested on her shoulder. Looking down at her tenderly, he said affectionately, Baby, why are you so forgetful? Did you leave the gift in the car? Su Wanwan was stunned. What gift? Before she could express her doubts, Huo Jingshen suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking towards the corner of the room, Zhexi. Huo Zhexi was pretending not to be present, but hearing this voice was no exaggeration, it was like hearing Yama calling his name, causing him to shiver in fear. He quickly stood. Big Brother! His loud voice startled everyone in the room. Mingzhu furrowed her brows.
    What on earth was with this child? Why was he so jumpy? Huo Jingshen casually pulled out car keys, tossed them gracefully towards him, Go and fetch your sister-inws gift. Huo Zhexi quickly fumbled for the car keys. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief, Sure, big brother, Ill go right away! Grabbing his coat, he hurried out almost hopping. Damn! He had been scared to death, assuming he would be questioned about his visit to the hot springs resort. Luckily, he was just sent to retrieve something from the car. Xing Siqing bit her lip, feeling extremely annoyed. Earlier in the elevator, she had carefully observed that Huo Jingshen only carried one bag, and indeed only gave out one gift. So, she deliberately said those things, hoping to embarrass Su Wanwan. She didnt expect Still not convinced, she asked, So, what gift has Wanwan prepared for uncle? How the hell should I know? Su Wanwan thought but remained silent. Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, Siqing, what did you just call her?
    Xing Siqings face immediately stiffened. Huo Qinyus face changed, she reprimanded quickly, Siqing, dont be impolite, address her as sister-inw. Xing Siqing had no intention to address Su Wanwan as such, but Huo Qinyu sternly pinched her and warned in a low voice, What did I just tell you? All the elders were watching. Xing Siqing gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, Big brother, I was wrong, I was just used to it, dont mind it. Huo Jingshen nodded in satisfaction, There arews in the country, there are rules in the family. If youre not ustomed to them, you should practice more. Your sister-inw is generous, but that doesnt mean the younger generations can call her by her name. I got it. Xing Siqing lowered her head, she was so frustrated it almost made her feel sick. Thankfully, Huo Jingshens phone rang shortly after. He looked at his phone and said, I need to take this call. ** The call was naturally from Huo Zhexi. He quickly reached the underground parking garage and found Huo Jingshens car. Yet, no matter where he searched in the car, including the trunk, rear seat, and front passenger seat, he could not find a gift box. He anxiously asked, Big brother, I cant find the gift, where did you put it? Huo Jingshen calmly answered, Its in the car. I cant find it! I seriously cant find it, Ive searched everywhere! Huo Zhexi was almost swearing. Continuing his search, he heard his big brothers ominously calm voice from the other side of the phone, If you cant find it, then its your problem. Big brother, what do you mean? Huo Zhexi didnt quite catch on. I havent told your parents about yourst trip to the hot springs resort. Huo Jingshen paused, So, hurry up, buy a gift, ande back. If yourete, Im afraid I might let something slip. After that, the call ended. Huo Zhexi: Buy a gift? The next second. Damn! His big brother was bullying him big time! ** Half an hourter, the waiter wheeled in the dining cart. Dinner was about to start, and Zhexi still wasnt back. Mingzhu furrowed her brows, just as she was about to call him, she received a text message on her phone. [Your credit card ending with 8797 has a transaction of 189,239 yuan.] What is this? Not long after, the door was opened. Huo Zhexi was panting heavily, it was the middle of the winter, yet he was sweating profusely. With trembling hands, he handed over a gift bag, Dad, this is this is the birbirthday gift from sister-inw! Huo Juncheng: Everyone: Su Wanwan was stunned. Holy shit, theres actually a gift? She immediately looked at Huo Jingshen sitting next to her, clutching his arm, she whispered with a sweet smile, Thank you, honey. Chapter 442: 442, pay attention to the occasion Chapter 442: pay attention to the asion Huo Jingshen lowered his head to look at her. The young girls smile was sweet, her bright phoenix eyes curved like crescents as she looked at him with sparkling eyes. As if there were stars inside. Due to being indoors and wearing a ck high-necked base shirt, her ck curly hair that fell perfectly on her shoulders ttered her delicate face with rosy lips and white teeth. Compared to a few months ago, the young girl seemed more like ady now. Of course, this was inseparable from his careful guidance. Ahem ahem ahem. Suddenly, the old man Huo coughed heavily as a reminder. Huo Jingshen stopped his action and then sat back properly. Su Wanwan hurriedly lowered her head, her face growing hot. She thought no one had noticed when
    What are you doing, old man? The newlywed couple is just being affectionate. Surely youre not spying on them! Learn to read the room! At the words of Lady Huo, everyone at the table looked at Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen. Su Wanwan was at a loss for words. My goodness, you really have a loud voice. Old Man Huos face and neck reddened. He was sat next to Huo Jingshen and had just caught a glimpse of them when the remark was made, what do they mean by spying? He red at his foolish old wife and said nothing. Only Huo Jingshen remainedposed, with a faint smile on his lips, he even stood up, picked up a spoon, and started serving soup. Xing Siqing across the table clenched her fist fiercely. Shameless! Flirting in front of the elders, who knows what seductive tricks she used to bewitch him in bed. No wonder hes head over heels for her! Shes simply a vile woman! With jealous eyes and angry expression, she was quickly noticed by Huo Qinyu sitting next to her, who nudged her daughter under the table. Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, about to say something when Oh, what is that on Wanwans hand? A wedding ring? Lady Huo made a new discovery again. Su Wanwan: Because Huo Jingshen served her a bowl of silver fungus and lotus seed soup, she merely reached out to take it, then Ashen also has one on. Lady Huo was overjoyed, Ah, newlyweds are always so sentimental, wearing their wedding rings everywhere. Unlike your grandfather, that insensible old man. Old Man Huo:
    This is ridiculous Both already old and theyre saying we should still wear our wedding rings? As for Xing Siqing, upon seeing the diamond ring on Su Wanwans left ring finger, her eyes bulged out, feeling like an absurdity. Did the two of theme out tonight to show off their affection?
    Theyve been married for so long? Suddenly wearing wedding rings? And such arge diamond ring? Out of rage, she could no longer restrain herself, grabbing her mobile phone and mming it on the table. The loud noise naturally attracted everyones attention at the table. Whats wrong with Siqing? Lady Huo furrowed her brows in discontent. Huo Qinyu quickly got up, Its alright, mom, she said she has a stomachache. Siqing,e with me to the restroom. Xing Siqing was reluctantly pulled up. ** Once they got into the restroom, Huo Qinyu sounded a harsh warning, What exactly are you doing? Didnt we agree? Tonights dinner is a rare asion with your grandparents, why are you creating havoc? Cant you act mature? I cant take it! Xing Siqing screamed, Every time I think of how she got me sent to the property sales department, and my brother got sent to Jiangcheng, I get so angry, I cant help it! Are you an idiot? Huo Qinyu was exasperated, Your grandparents are here, and youre picking a fight with her? Youre looking for a way to lose face? Havent you been taught enough lessons? Xing Siqing bit her lip, panting heavily.
    You purposely brought up that Wanwan hasnt given any gifts yet. What are you trying to do? How many times have I told you? No matter how upset you are, Wanwan is now married to Ashen, she is your sister-inw! Even if youre unhappy, at least pretend to act like family! Got it? Huo Qinyu scolded angrily, If you keep acting like you did just now, youll be the one suffer, and dont expect me to help you! Huo Qinyu had a splitting headache. How did she give birth to such a foolish daughter? Shes been fooled by Su Wanwan so many times, why hasnt she learned to be wary? Cant she even pretend? Did you hear what I said? I got it! Xing Siqing said impatiently. Huo Qinyu took a deep breath, Lets go back. ** After the birthday banquet, Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu saw everyone off to their cars. When everyone had left, Mingzhu suddenly turned around and grabbed Huo Zhexis ear, You little rascal, tell me, what kind of mischief were you up to when you swiped my card just now? Huo Zhexi was in pain, grimacing, Mom, I just just lent some money to a friend. Nonsense! Who borrows money down to the penny?
    Huo Zhexi felt aggrieved, He had spent more than a hundred thousand to buy a Qinghua Porcin Tea Set as a birthday gift for his father, only to have Su Wenwen, that damned girl, take the credit. And he had to swallow his indignation. This was utterly stupid! Meanwhile in the car, Su Wanwan asked, When did you prepare that Qinghua Porcin Tea Set? She had been kept in the dark, considering the gift was in the car all along. Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, Are you happy? Su Wanwan nodded. She had gained some face, of course she was happy. Then Huo Jingshen asked, How is my darling nning to thank her husband who made her look good? Su Wanwan looked at him, suddenly leaned over, and lightly touched his cheek. As she was about to pull away, he grabbed her hand. Chapter 443: 443, Xiaobai is angry Chapter 443: Xiaobai is angry Huo Jingshen held the steering wheel with one hand while he held her small hand with the other. Su Wanwan tried to pull her hand away, but he gripped her even more tightly. Focus on driving, she said. Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes and responded nomittally with a Hmm. They stopped at a red light, and Su Wanwan quickly withdrew her hand. She red at him and said adamantly, If you dont drive properly, I will! Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. Not in your dreams. Then drive properly! Su Wanwan immediately said again. No problem. Huo Jingshen implied two meanings with hisment, Im an experienced driver. Su Wanwan: Isnt he an experienced driver, indeed?
    An old man who always talked about driving as if he was piloting a train. If it wasnt for his good looks, decent work abilities, and satisfactory social skills She would have been fooled by him. * * Meanwhile, at the old Mo Family mansion. As soon as Xiao Yebai entered, the Mo patriarch called him into a meeting. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi was sat there, eating sweet dumplings. After finishing a small bowl of sweets, Mo Weiyi looked at the empty living room and couldnt resist asking, Wheres my aunt? Could she still be in the hospital? The maid quietly replied, Little Princess, the old master was very angryst night and had us pack up all of Mistress Qu and her daughters things to throw out. Oh. Mo Weiyi nodded. After what happenedst night, it wasnt surprising that grandfather was angry. She checked the forums and Weibo today, and there were still plenty of high-definition videos fromst night being circted. This Qu Yunyao really didnt love herself and even involved the Mo Family, making them the focus of public opinion! Moreover, will grandfather vent his anger on Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi quickly jumped up, ready to rush to the study. Just then, the room door opened, and Xiao Yebai came out in his wheelchair. Mo Weiyi hurried over, Xiaobai, are you okay? She checked him over, making sure he was alright, before calling out, Grandpa.
    The Mo patriarch: His heart was not at peace, but what could he do? He couldnt get angry with his favorite granddaughter. Taking a deep breath, the Mo patriarch said, Your aunt will move out and live elsewhere. Your cousin is in the hospital now, after recovering, she will go to study in France.
    Study what? Mo Weiyi immediately asked. She said shes interested in film. The Mo patriarch said sinctly. Okay, Mo Weiyi thought that this might be for the best. At least with her out of the way, she can have some peace. After finishing dinner, it was gettingte. With the rain outside starting again, they decided to stay the night. When they returned to the North vi, Mo Weiyi immediately grabbed her backpack, pulled Xiao Yebai into the study, and said, Xiaobai, help me with my homework. In terms of studying, she thought her husband was more reliable. His exnations were simple and easy to understand. He was a better teacher than Chen Jin, who was tutoring her. Xiao Yebai checked the time. Its 9:30. We still have half an hour. Help me finish this then we can go to bed, okay? Mo Weiyi clung to his arm, disying her charm. Please, Xiaobai, Xiaobai is the best, help me Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow but finally sat down at the desk behind her and started exining. After all, even with his help, she wouldnt be able to get into the top ten in her ss. Reason: Her foundation was too weak!
    Half an hourter, Xiao Yebai stood up urately. Its ten oclock now. Alright. Mo Weiyis regr bedtime for maintaining her beauty was ten oclock. Although she was often dyed. While she was packing up her textbooks, Xiao Yebai went to the bookshelf as if he wanted to fetch a book. Suddenly. One of the books is missing. What? Mo Weiyi raised her head, just in time to see Xiao Yebai standing in front of the bookshelf and precisely stating, Wheres your first-year English textbook? Mo Weiyi: Holy crap! She knew her husband was meticulous, but could he really remember the contents of her small bookshelf that clearly? Wasnt he simply a monster? In fact, this vi was originally for Xiao Yebai to live in alone, but for a while after their marriage, she also lived here. At that time, she had to whine, create drama, and threaten extreme measures before he reluctantly allocated a little space for her books.
    Now, she deeply regretted it. The sharp ck eyes were already looking at her, from a higher position, forcing her to confess, Did you take it? Mo Weiyi could only nod. Xiao Yebai continued to ask, What did you do with it? Mo Weiyi squeezed her little ws, exining, Last time, didnt I lose the textbook Ling Zhizhou borrowed from me? I feel really bad about it, so So you gave the textbook to him. The mans voice was indifferent. Yes. Mo Weiyi felt inexplicably apprehensive, Xiaobai, are you angry? Xiao Yebais answer had nothing to do with her question, Every book of yours has my name in it. Uh Mo Weiyi knew this, of course. Ever since she started high school, she would pesteringly get Xiao Yebai to write her name in each of her textbooks. But now You said you would take good care of them. I Why did you give them to someone else now? Xiao Yebais voice was not loud, but it carried a great pressure.
    I was wrong. Mo Weiyi immediately apologized, I will ask him to give it back tomorrow. Xiao Yebai looked at her, the corners of his lips suddenly hooking up in a shallow arc. It wasntughter, but distinct mockery. He said, No need. After saying that, he immediately turned around and left. Mo Weiyi stood there, she couldnt recover for a long time, Its over, Xiaobai is really angry this time. * * Mo Weiyi fell in love with Xiao Yebai at first sight when she was 10 years old. Since then, in front of outsiders, the lofty Little Princess became a follower in front of Xiao Yebai. Although Xiao Yebai was only 15 at the time, he was already over 1.8 meters tall, his face was indifferent, he had a handsome face, and he was a handsome and graceful teenager. But Mo Weiyi had ate growth spurt, her height only reaching up to his legs at the time. The contrast of them standing together made her look like a dwarf. This little dwarf wore an impossiblyplex princess dress and followed him every day. Mo Yaoxiong told her at the time, His name is Xiao Yebai, he will be your brother in the future, you must call him Brother Yebai. But Mo Weiyi disagreed, This brother is so beautiful, its a waste for him to be a brother, he should be my husband in the future! So she called him Xiaobai. Chasing him every day, shouting Xiaobai, Xiaobai. The pride of a teenager, the sensitivity and self-esteem of living under other peoples roofs made Xiao Yebai extremely disgusted with this nickname. He felt that Mo Weiyi was like calling a puppys name. In turn, he was filled with annoyance towards this so-called sister. The most serious time, he directly pushed Mo Weiyi to the ground. The little dwarf was never treated so rudely from childhood till now. More importantly, she was so fond of him. She cried bitterly on the spot, which invited the wrath of Old Master Mo and family punishment. Therefore, for a long period of seven years, the rtionship between the two was twisted like this: He found Mo Weiyi annoying and preferred to stay away. However, Mo Weiyis feelings for him were consistent, always clinging persistently. As for Old Man Mo, undoubtedly, he was the consolidant of this rtionship. He loved his only granddaughter the most, indulging her with everything she asked for. Whenever Mo Weiyi made a request, if Xiao Yebai dared not agree, the old man would force him to do so with hismand. The requests were varied and even unbelievable at times. One of these requests was that every time school started and she received new books, Mo Weiyi would ask Xiao Yebai to write her name for her. The reason Mo Weiyi gave at the time was that every time she used it and was asked by ssmates, she could proudly say that it was her boyfriend who wrote it for her. But now it seemed that she didnt cherish the name he wrote and the things he gave her that much. After all, she gave it to another boy so casually, didnt she? * * * That night, Xiao Yebais handsome face was frozen over; he didnt say much, just acting extremely indifferent. Mo Weiyi knew she was in the wrong, so she immediately ordered the textbook online. The next morning when she got to school, she sent a message to Ling Zhizhou. [Where are you, do you have time now, I need to see you.] [I am in ssroom 1102.] Ling Zhizhou replied like this. Is he having ss? Mo Weiyi directly called Su Wanwan to apany her. 1102, the lecture hall. It was the first year ofw school, which was a publicw course for three sses. Right now, the room was jam-packed. The old professor was going on and on up there. Suddenly, Ling Zhizhou, who was sitting in the front row, got up with his textbook and walked to the back of the lecture hall. The ssmates in the vicinity looked on and found it strange. It was hard to get a seat in the old professors ss, so why would Ling Zhizhou vacate it and suddenly go back? Before long, there was suddenly amotion in the ssroom. Chapter 444: 444, too much jealousy Chapter 444: too much jealousy Wow, its the school belle! And the news department belle too! Two beautiful girls huh! Who do you think is prettier? I like that Su Wanwan, she looks so innocent! I think the school belle is prettier! If you ask me, theyre both gorgeous! Silence! The chalkboard eraser was harshly pped on the desk, and the whole ssroom fell silent. The old professor pushed up his sses, turning his gaze towards the door.
    Mo Weiyi stood at the door, Su Wanwan stood beside her. Both girls were young and beautiful, with ttering dress sense. Thew department was male-dominant, and as first-years amidst adolescence, its no wonder that they were instantly mesmerised. The old professor coughed twice, Who are you two looking for? Mo Weiyi offered the professor a bright, sweet smile, Hello professor, is Ling Zhizhou here? Ling Zhizhou, theyre looking for you! A boy nearby quickly shouted. Ling Zhizhou lifted his head from the textbook, took a look and then stood up, Sorry Mr. Wu, they are looking for me. He sat at the back of the ssroom. Right at that moment, all eyes in the ssroom were on him and people began to discuss. Wow, this guy is really lucky. I heard hes been getting close with the school belle recently. No wonder she personally came to the ssroom to find him! Jealous! Amidst everyones curiosity, envy, and teasing gazes, Ling Zhizhou calmly made his way from his seat, then left the ssroom. ** Outside the ssroom. Mo Weiyi started with some embarrassment, Ling Zhizhou, do you still have the English textbook I lent youst time? Yeah, I do. Ling Zhizhou nodded, Whats up? Mo Weiyi felt even more embarrassed, Can I have that textbook back now? Dont worry, I already bought a new one for you and Ill give it to you once it arrives. Ling Zhizhous gaze slightly flickered, but the warm smile still remained on his face, You need it back, senior?
    Of course Mo Weiyi was too shy to tell the reason, so she just said, Im sorry. Its okay. But I dont have English ss today, so I didnt bring it. I can bring it to you at lunch after I go back to the dorm, okay? Sure. Mo Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. ** At noon.
    In the small cafeteria on the second floor, after finishing their lunch, Su Wanwan was waiting with Mo Weiyi. After almost twenty minutes, the person still didnt show up, and she couldnt help butined, Its just a broken book, why are you messing around so much? Mo Weiyi exined everything thoroughly. Su Wanwan was even more speechless, Your husband is really too jealous, isnt he? Just because he wrote his name on a no-longer-used textbook, was it necessary? Mo Weiyi said, How would I know he would found out? I put all my textbooks from the first and second year together, and he still managed to find it. If only I hadnt gone home for dinnerst night. This is really attracting trouble for herself. Thankfully, Ling Zhizhou soon arrived and ced the English textbook on the table, Here you go, senior. Mo Weiyi quickly thanked him, Thank you. Upon opening the textbook, she froze. The page on the inside of the cover, with her name on it, had been torn off! Ling Zhizhou hurriedly exined, Im sorry, senior, I forgot to tell you that I tore off the first page. Is that okay? Mo Weiyis little face scrunched up, nearly crying, Why did you tear it? nullIm sorry, its all my fault. I thought this book was given to me, so I wanted to erase your name and write mine, but I didnt notice the damage at the time. I could just die Im really sorry.
    Mo Weiyi: Actually, what Ling Zhizhou said was quite reasonable. Her textbook was misced, and she returned this book to him, so since it was given to him and he had to use it everyday, it waspletely understandable that he wanted to write his own name. But Thinking about Xiao Yebais cold expressionst night, and now seeing the torn textbook, she felt a storm brewing above her head. Looking at Mo Weiyis expression, Ling Zhizhou asked, Senior, did your husband write this name? Obviously, he did. Im really sorry, I didnt know. Ling Zhizhou immediately apologized. Mo Weiyi finally spoke, Its okay, its not your fault. It was all her fault. She found out that the textbook was missing, and happened to be returning home, so she took this one from the study room and gave it to Ling Zhizhou. Thinking about it now, she was too impulsive. She should have just bought a new one for him. Now she wants the book back, only to find the name missing, and Xiaobai will probably be even angrier.
    Ling Zhizhou touched his head, Will your husband me you? I can exin to him in person that I didnt mean to do it. Upon hearing this No need. Mo Weiyi closed her textbook, Its not your fault. Ling Zhizhou seemed relieved, You guys carry on eating. I need to return some books to the library. Okay. Once Ling Zhizhou left, Mo Weiyi cried out, Oh no, what should I do? Xiaobai is probably furious. Su Wanwan said, Just exin to him. You dont understand! Yesterday he gave her the cold shoulder just because he found out she gave his book away. And now the book is ruined. Is it even worth returning it? He would probably just be angrier. You should sooth him, take the initiative. Su Wanwan suggested, Or, buy him a gift or something? Okay. It could only be this way now. **
    There were no sses in the afternoon, so Su Wanwan apanied her friend to buy the gift. They went directly to the mens section in the mall. In an internationally renowned boutique, Mo Weiyi asked her, Should I buy a coat, or a sweater? Buy both. Su Wanwan said and then told her, You pick, Im going upstairs to look around. Okay. Su Wanwan quickly went upstairs. Compared to the crowd downstairs, it was quieter here. She nced over a life-sized mannequin. The model was dressed in a ck three-piece suit and wore a deep blue mens scarf around its neck. It was very suitable for that old man Huo Jingshen. She picked it up to look at it, and almost immediately let it go. Holy shit, a scarf like this costs over nine thousand? Are they robbing people? Miss, do you like this scarf? A saleswoman had seen her and enthusiastically greeted her. She noticed the diamond ring on her finger. Such arge diamond ring must cost millions! Rich people! This scarf is one of our best sellers this year, its very warm and stylish The saleswoman enthusiastically introduced the product to Su Wanwan. Ill take this scarf. A familiar female voice suddenly interrupted her. The saleswoman was stunned, and Su Wanwan also looked over. It was Chu Jingyi. Dressed in all designerbels, with a perfectly made-up face, she gave off a rather elegant and prosperous vibe. The saleswoman nced at her, then at Su Wanwan, and seemed a bit at a loss as to what to do, Miss, this scarf is I dont want it, Su Wanwan said directly. The saleswoman immediately looked relieved, smiling to Chu Jingyi, If this is the case, then, Miss, I will pack this for you. Wait a moment. Chu Jingyi interrupted her again, then looked at Su Wanwan and sneered, So, you like this scarf too? If you like it, I can give it to you. I can even gift it to you. Su Wanwanughed, Miss Chu, youre thinking too much. Youre ten years older than me. How could our tastes possibly match? The saleswomans face changed. Chu Jingyis face twitched instantly. Without waiting for her to respond, Su Wanwan turned around and left. I hope you are angry! Humph! ** Downstairs, Mo Weiyi was indeed already carrying a mountain of shopping bags. Su Wanwan walked over, Weiyi, are you done shopping? Yes. After paying, Mo Weiyi picked up one of the bags to carry, the rest were sent to Lishui Bay Vi by a delivery staff. Su Wanwan noticed that the bag she picked up also contained a scarf. I decide to take it to him at his office personally. Mo Weiyi smiled, Xiaobai will definitely forgive me this way. Su Wanwan nodded nomittally. Weiyi. Chu Jingyis voice rang out again. Sister Jingyi, what a coincidence? Mo Weiyi expressed surprise seeing her. Chu Jingyi approached, carrying a boutique bag. It must be that scarf Su Wanwan thought to herself. Lets sit downstairs and chat for a while. Chu Jingyi suggested. Su Wanwan didnt want to go. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi also declined, I cant, I have to go to thepany to find Xiaobai. Chu Jingyi nced at the pile of shopping bags andughed sarcastically, You bought Xiaobai so many things again? Mo Weiyi did not deny it. Chu Jingyi continued tough, You are still as constant as ten years ago. Men take advantage of you for your generosity. Thats why he doesnt cherish what he has. Chapter 445: 445, hit on the spot Chapter 445: hit on the spot Sister Jingyi, what do you mean by that? Mo Weiyis brows knitted in confusion. Chu Jingyi twirled a section of her burgundy waterfall tresses, exuding a charming smile, Nothing, Im just engaging in conversation. Mo Weiyi: Su Wanwan squinted her eyes. Whats wrong with this Chu Jingyi? Is she cursing others because her marriage is unhappy? Whos she trying to impress by acting so bizarre? Since you all are busy, Ill leave first, bye. Chu Jingyi turned around to leave right after she finished her sentence. Bye, Sister Jingyi. Mo Weiyi waved her little hand, looking endearing. Unable to resist her curiosity, Su Wanwan asked, Are you close with her?
    Of course not as close as I am with you. Mo Weiyi affectionately hooked her arm, Should we call Secretary Shi next time and go shopping together? Shes a powerhouse, busy all the time, do you think shes like us? Regardless of how busy, she must have some leisure time, right? Or we could have dinner together. The two walked and chatted, and when they got outside, Su Wanwan checked the time, Do you still need to shop? If not, lets go. Alright, Ill drop you off at school first, then Ill go to look for Xiaobai at thepany. Uh-huh. Mo Weiyi hailed a taxi, dropped Su Wanwan off at the school gate, then directed the driver towards Mo Group. It was a little past three in the afternoon when she arrived. Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, made a detour to the coffee shop next door on the ground floor, bought a load of desserts, milk tea, and coffee, then walked into the office building with two waitstaff carrying packs and parcels. The receptionist on the ground floor naturally recognized Mo Weiyi, immediately stood up in surprise and picked up the phone, Miss Mo, Ill notify Mr. Xiao right away. Dont! Mo Weiyi interrupted, I want to surprise Xiaobai. Okay. Both receptionists nodded nkly. Lucky Princess knows how to y, staging a surprise essentially shes trying to catch someone in the act. ** Soon, Mo Weiyi took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Zhong Kai walking over with aptop. Seeing the approaching Little Princess, Zhong Kai almost dropped hisputer out of shock. He stuttered, PriPrincess? Why are you here? He has been an assistant at the Mo Group for several years, and Mo Weiyi almost neveres to the office. Why did she choose toe today? Upon hearing the words Princess, both the men and women in the nearby secretarial office turned their heads to watch.
    The Mo familys Little Princess was not someone they could easily meet. The Mo family protects her very well, and she rarelyes to the office. Under the bright corridor lights, Mo Weiyis pretty face beamed brilliantly, Zhong Kai, wheres Xiaobai? Zhong Kai hesitated for a moment before answering, Erm, Mr. Xiao Mr. Xiao Is he in a meeting?
    No. Then what is he doing? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, her innocent and sweet demeanor highlighting her bright cat eyes. If she finds another woman in Mr. Xiaos office, she probably wont look so sweet. Zhong Kai thought to himself while stammering, Mr. Xiao Mr. Xiao After watching him hesitate, Mo Weiyis refined eyebrows furrowed as she slightly squinted her cat eyes. The next second, she moved toward the Presidents office. The two waitstaff lifting her bags of goods dutifully followed. Zhong Kai hastily followed, Princess, Princess, please dont misunderstand! If he hadnt said anything, Mo Weiyi wouldnt have rushed. But now, her steps quicken. With a hardened gorgeous face, she arrived at the office door, swung the door wide open without knocking. The loud crash startled the woman inside, causing her to spin around in shock. Miss Mo? Wearing a channel dress, Tian Yes hair styled beautifully, and features stunning, her expression was surprised, and seemed to hold a degree of anxiety. But none of that mattered.
    What mattered was that she was holding Xiao Yebais coat. Her brightly distinguished cat eyes instantly fell on the coat. Tian Ye looked down, following Mo Weiyis gaze, and quickly set down the coat on the ck office chair by her. Mo Weiyi lifted her chin and shot her a cool look, Miss Tian, can you exin why youre here in my husbands office? And why were you holding his coat? Miss Mo, you really mustnt misunderstand. Tian Ye quickly replied. What am I misunderstanding? Mo Weiyi looked at her and sneered, This is a straightforward matter, isnt it? Werent you just holding my husbands coat in your hands? Isnt this his office? Zhong Kai had already chased her in. He pushed aside the two waitstaff carrying bags to hurriedly exin, Princess, you mustnt misunderstand. Mo Weiyis face instantly got colder, And youre also telling me not to misunderstand? Suddenly, she turned to look at the lounge. The door was closed. She clenched her fingers and suddenly strode towards it. Princess! Zhong Kais voice was loud, as if trying to provide a warning. But by then, Mo Weiyi had already arrived at the entrance to the lounge. She reached out, but as soon as she touched the doorknob, the door was opened from inside.
    Xiao Yebai stood behind it. He wasnt wearing his sses, his hair slightly tousled, brows furrowed, and his handsome face was slightly flushed. He was still decently dressed, ck shirt, dark cashmere sweater, ck trousers, a perfect fit, only revealing a few undone shirt buttons. After Mo Weiyi swiftly scanned him and found nothing suggestive on his neck or corbone, she felt a sense of relief. What are you doing here? Xiao Yebais voice sounded in the ensuing silence. Mo Weiyi walked forward and hugged his arm, then turned to Tian Ye and asked with the air of the maindy of the house, I should be asking you that, why is this woman here? Xiao Yebai looked down at the beautiful woman clinging to him, I asked, what are you doing here? His face was expressionless, looking slightly harsh and aggressive without his sses. Mo Weiyi pouted, wondering why she blurted out, Its my familyspany, isnt it normal for me to be here? Xiao Yebai looked at her. Without the sses to filter his emotions, his eyes were ckest ck, showing clear signs of coldness. He said, However, this is your familyspany. You have every right to be here whenever you want. Mo Weiyi was shocked and hurriedly tried to apologize, Xiaobai, I didnt mean it like that, I But it was toote.
    Theplexion on Xiao Yebais face cooled noticeably, although his voice remained calm, So, what is the actual reason for your visit? I. Mo Weiyi was at a loss for words. Her hands, clutching the shopping bag and coffee, unconsciously clenched tightly. Her face turned increasingly pale. As she looked at the mans cold profile, she felt as if a cloud of darkness had engulfed her heart making her suffocate in agony. She tried to exin, Xiaobai, dont be angry. I really If theres nothing else, go ahead, I still have work to do. Xiao Yebai sat down behind his desk, picked up his sses and smoothly slipped them onto his nose, reverting back to his usual calm and indifferent demeanor. His face devoid of any emotion, his movements steady and unhurried, he turned on hisputer. His focus was seemingly on the screen, but his demeanor suggested he was distancing himself from everyone else. This was exactly how he was before they got married. Every time she tried to get close to him, he would be just like this Tian Yes voice rang out gently, Yebai, Ill leave now. Alright. Wait! Mo Weiyi abruptly demanded, You havent told me why youre here? Why do you have Zhong Kai. Xiao Yebai cut her off calmly, Take the princess home. Mo Weiyi was vexed: Im not going anywhere! Zhong Kai! Zhong Kai had to step forward, pleading softly, Princess, let me take you home first. Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai, a hint of red showing in her eyes, her voice choked, Wont you exin this to me? But Xiao Yebai didnt even lift his head. The atmosphere in the office became unbearably tense. After a few seconds, Mo Weiyi abruptly threw the shopping bag and coffee onto the floor with a loud tter before turning to run out of the office. Princess! Zhong Kai panicked and quickly followed after her. The two servers stood at the corridor, each still holding a bag of takeout. They exchanged unsure looks, uncertain of what to do next. Tian Ye withdrew her gaze and nced at the man still maintaining his impassive demeanor. She cautiously began, Yebai, Miss Mo seems to have misunderstood You can leave now too. Would you like me to exin to Miss Mo? Actually, I was just Tian Ye hesitated. Need me to arrange a ride for you? Tian Ye: Having known Xiao Yebai for seven years, she was quite familiar with his personality. What Mo Weiyi said earlier, intentionally or inadvertently, had hurt his pride, the most sensitive part of him. Not to mention that her and that assistant were there at the scene. Due to his unique position, he had to put in twice the effort to earn the Mo Familys approval and trust. Regardless of how extraordinary he was, he was just the adopted son and son-inw of the Mo family With a heavy heart, she softened her voice even more, Then Ill take my leave. You must take care of yourself, remember to take your gastric medication. If you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital for a checkup. We cant neglect a stomach disease. Xiao Yebai didnt respond. Left with no choice, Tian Ye picked up her coat and bag, and gently left the room. The office quieted down. Only the asional sound of fingertips tapping on a keyboard echoed in the room. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yebai finished reviewing a document. He got up to leave but stepped on something. Looking down, he saw a beige scarf peeking out of the shopping bag, covered in arge coffee stain. The dark carpet was wet from the coffee that spilled from the shattered cup. The dark depths of his eyes flickered momentarily. Then, he stepped over it and walked away. ** Upon reaching the ground floor, Mo Weiyi waved down a taxi. d only in a thin suit, Zhong Kai shivered in the cold wind. He stuttered, trying to exin, Princess, youve misunderstood. Xiao just had a social engagement and had a bit too much to drink Shut up! Princess, youve truly misunderstood Xiao. He didnt do anything I said shut your mouth! Then Princess, let me take you home. Its hard to get a cab from here. No sooner than he finished his sentence, a taxi pulled up in front of them. Zhong Kais face fell crudely. Before he could ask the driver to leave quickly, Mo Weiyi had already gotten in and drove away hastily. Left shivering by the roadside, Zhong Kai was worried. But he couldnt do anything other than returning to the office. Having reached the top floor, he found the CEOs office door tightly shut. After some thought, he plucked up the courage to knock. Come in. Xiao Yebais voice was deep and chilly. Zhong Kai took a deep breath and walked in, Xiao, Princess got in a taxi and left. You may leave. From behind his desk, the man didnt lift his head. Zhong Kai swallowed hard, suggesting with good intentions, Xiao, how about giving Princess a call to exin? You were just socializing and had a bit too much to drink. Your gastric issue was triggered Get someone to clean the carpet. Xiao Yebai nced at him coldly, Its dirty. Zhong Kai looked at the ruined carpet. His facial muscles twitched, Alright. He had no choice but to turn around and leave. Dammit! At this time, should he really be worried about whether the carpet is dirty? What the hell! Xiaos personality of not exining himself and stubbornnessbined with Princesss childish temperamentIm at my wits end! ** By the time Su Wanwan received Mo Weiyis call, it was already past seven in the evening. She was originally preparing to study in the library. But upon hearing Mo Weiyis disoriented, drunken voice on the phone, she rushed out of the campus and immediately took a taxi to the club. Chapter 446: 446, The Only Drunkenness Chapter 446: The Only Drunkenness Upon arriving at the club and mentioning Mo Weiyis name, Su Wenwen felt a sense of relief when she heard private room and not the main hall. Thank goodness, she hasntpletely lost her mind. However, as soon as she pushed open the door and entered the private room, she was hit by a strong smell of alcohol apanied by ring electronic music. As for Mo Weiyi, she was slouched on the sofa, still nursing a bottle of red wine. Su Wenwen, with a slight frown, rushed over, snatching the bottle from her hand, Stop drinking! The table was littered with open wine bottles, some were half-empty, some only had a sip taken, every single one of them expensive, top-of-the-line. What aplete waste! Su Wenwen, out of habit, started to feel a pinch in her heart. Wenwen, youre here*hic* Mo Weiyi giggled like a drunk, quickly grabbing another bottle, Have a drinkdrink with me Youre drunk!
    Though Su Wenwen knew that by her own standards, Mo Weiyi hadnt drunk much, but she barely held her liquor and it was clear that she was already intoxicated. Im not drunk*hic* All alcoholics im they are not drunk. Su Wenwen once again took the bottle from her hand, Tell me. What has upset you this time? Upon hearing that, Mo Weiyi fell silent. Lowering her head, she looked crestfallen. Su Wenwen looked at her, puzzled. Wah Mo Weiyi suddenly looked up, started blubbering like a child, Xiaobai Xiaobai, he *hic* I knew it had to be him! How did he upset you this time? Su Wenwen rolled her eyes provocatively. She felt like she had been transported back to two years ago. Back then, she hadnt left the country yet and Mo Weiyi was pretty much like she was now, throwing tantrums on a regr basis, often drinking away her sorrows. The reason was always Xiao Yebai either ignoring her or telling her that he didnt like her and didnt want to be with her. That man always found the most damaging way to hurt her, but even that didnt stop Mo Weiyi from stubbornly loving him. Su Wenwen couldnt help but sigh. She had thought that since theyd been married for two years now, Mo Weiyi would have finally thawed that mans icy exterior, but she was wrong Wuwuwuwu Wenwen, I feel terrible, Xiaobai Xiaobai he *hic* Mo Weiyis words were disjointed and incoherent, untilTian Ye Tian Ye? Does he really have an affair with Tian Ye? Su Wenwens eyes widened in shock, that scumbag! Xiaobai and her it hurts why is my head hurting so much *hic* Mo Weiyi began to cry again, clutching her head and groaning in pain. Thats because you drank too much. Su Wenwen said, while gathering Mo Weiyis belongings, and then asked her, Did you settle the bill? Mo Weiyi rubbed her temples, Xiaobai Xiaobai, he
    Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, quickly hit the service bell. Soon, a waiter walked in, Miss. How much is it in total? He looked at his tablet and promptly spit out a number, One hundred and eight thousand six hundred.
    Even though she was prepared, Su Wanwan was still taken aback by the amount, One million? Is it that expensive? The waiter smiled, Miss Mo ordered the top-shelf wines, the bottle of champagne alone was ten thousand, the bottle of red wine was eight thousand, and this ones seven thousand five hundred Okay, okay. Su Wanwan gave up on the protests. She looked over at Mo Weiyi, Where is your card? Mo Weiyi frowned deeply, *hic*Wanwan, Xiaobai scolded me Su Wanwan: She put her backpack down again, took out Mo Weiyis wallet, finally found her bank card and handed it to the waiter. He swiped it and then awkwardly said, Im sorry, but the bnce is insufficient. Su Wanwan: No problem. The waiter said with a smile, Since its Miss Mo, we can put it on your tab. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Why didnt you say so earlier? The waiter sheepishly smiled and left. Su Wanwan reorganized their stuff and prepared to leave, dragging Mo Weiyi along. Mo Weiyi was over 5 feet, but she barely weighed around a hundred pounds. To Su Wanwan, carrying her was a piece of cake, save for her immediate protests.
    I dont want to go homeI dont want to go homeWanwan, I dont want to go home! Ah I really dont! How could this girl protest so fiercely while drunk? Although Su Wanwan considered herself strong, she struggled to deal with the drunk girls strength. Soon enough, she was out of breath and nursing a terrible headache, her patience wore thin. Then where do you want to go! If you dont say, Ill throw you out into the street! Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and looked at her pitifully, Wanwan, I feel badWanwan Her face was flushed red from the alcohol, her eyes welled up with tears, her hair disheveled, whimpering softly, her voice was softly delicate Catching sight of Mo Weiyi in this state, Su Wanwans heart softened instantly. I really cant handle you! She hoisted Mo Weiyi up again, Fine, we wont go home. Mmm. Mo Weiyi obediently got up and let Su Wanwan drag her away. Su Wanwan wondered, if they didnt go home, where should she take her? Back to the dormitory? Her bed was rather small, and Mo Weiyi reeked of alcohol. The dorm admin knew her, bringing her back would raise a series of unnecessary questions. But bringing her to a hotel? Without anyone to take care of her, this picky girl was ufortable alone and theres no way Su Wanwan could leave her alone. After pondering, Su Wanwan decided to take her to the Imperial Court.
    There, the servants could help look after her. After struggling to get into a taxi, Mo Weiyi eventually leaned against Su Wanwan, burying her face into Su Wanwans shoulder, Wanwan, Im feelingufortable. Driver, to Tianquan Royal Court, number 69. Mo Weiyi weakly leaned against her, Im ufortableIm ufortable Su Wanwan patted her shoulder gently, speaking akin to calming a child, Once we get home and you sleep, you wont feel ufortable. Mo Weiyi promptly started protesting, Not going home Im not going home! Would going to my house work? Mo Weiyi hupped, As long as its not home. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes again. Never mind, no use reasoning with a drunk. ** The Imperial Court vi was brightly lit at this time. After dinner, Huo Jingshen went to the study to work. Fu Ziyang finished his homework and called KO into the living room, petting the dog while watching an English drama.
    Around nine in the evening, Fu Ziyang touched KOs big head, Im going to take a shower and go to bed. Arwooo! KO barked instantly. At the same time, the door to the study opened, Ziyang, its time to take a bath and go to bed. Woof! Seeing Huo Jingshen, KOs eyes lit up as he energetically raced towards him, circling around his legs to get attention. The phone rang at that moment. Huo Jingshen picked it up and was surprised. After picking up the call, Hello? Honey. Hearing the soft whisper of Honey, Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Did you make a mistake again? Su Wanwan: Or is your allowance not enough? After a while, the sound of Su Wanwan gritting her teeth in frustration resonated. Cant you wish me well for once? Ha. Huo Jingshen smirked and asked her, So, youre saying you miss me? Su Wanwan cleared her throat, Uh, Ill be home in a moment. Returning home tonight? Huo Jingshen was even more surprised. The young girl was actually taking the initiative to return home? The next second. But Im bringing Weiyi with me. Almost instantaneously, KO witnessed his masters pleasant and tender face instantly turn cold. For what? the man frowned. She is drunk, Su Wanwan exined, and then a sound of a woman drunkenly mumbling could be heard from the receiver. Huo Jingshens face darkened even more, If shes drunk, she should be sent home. She had a fight with Xiaobai and refuses to go back. Then send her to a hotel. No one will be able to care for her at the hotel. Plus, Im worried, and I did not bring my wallet. Huo Jingshen: I gotta go; Im almost home. Ask Aunt Yang to make some sobering-up tea, and change the bedding in the guestroom. Dont forget to add two more quilts. Gotta hang up. Without waiting for Huo Jingshens response, the call ended. KO, watching him with his head tilted and a cute expression on his dog-face, suddenly Go back to your dog house! Your mom ising home! KO: He had no choice but to sadly leave the warmth of the mansion. Life as a dog is too hard. After instructing the dog, Huo Jingshen then turned to the kid, Go upstairs, take a bath and sleep! Fu Ziyang: okay. It was odd to see Uncle Huo unhappy about Aunt Wanwans rare homing. With the kid and dog gone, Huo Jingshen resigned himself to preparing the guest room. ** Ten minutester, Su Wanwan arrived as promised, dragging along a female drunkard. Huo Jingshens face looked very unhappy. Especially when he saw Mo Weiyi with messy hair, crying with red, swollen eyes, and a red nose. Her makeup was all smudgedshe was a mess! With the smell of alcohol surrounding her and murmuring drunken nonsense, Huo Jingshens face darkened even more. Better off not seeing her. He closed the door, and was just about to turn away. Husband, wheres Aunt Yang? Ask her to help me out quickly. She took the day off. Well, then you help me. Im exhausted. Su Wanwan pleaded. How? Huo Jingshen crossed his arms, being all nonchnt. Should your husband carry her, orcarry her like a princess? Su Wanwans mouth twitched. Does he really need to be so suggestive? Im worried youd take advantage of her! Huo Jingshen: Cant you just help support her arm? Huo Jingshen squinted at her, then looked disdainfully at the female drunkard. With a shift in his brows, he finally reached out. As soon as Su Wanwan let go, he grabbed Mo Weiyis cor from behind, held her up like a little rabbit, and promptly headed to the guest room on the first floor. His movements were swift, carrying her by the cor inevitably chokes her. Mo Weiyi started toin because she was ufortable. Su Wanwan reacted with rm, quickly followed them, Be gentle, cant you be gentle? But Huo Jingshen acted as if he didnt hear her, went straight into the guest room, and threw the female drunkard onto the big bed. With a plop, it was rough and brutal! Unbelievable! Su Wanwan, angered, gave him a push, then hurried to Weiyis side, Weiyi, are you alright? Mo Weiyiy on the freshly made bed, clutching her cor, and groaned, Im ufortable Su Wanwan quickly checked her; Mo Weiyis neck was indeed a bit red. She red at Huo Jingshen, then started to soothe Weiyi in a low, gentle voice. Huo Jingshen squinted at this He wasnt pleased. Why isnt this girl this gentle with him? Mo Weiyi shook her head, starting toin again, Headache Su Wanwan immediately turned to ask, Wheres the sobering-up tea? Huo Jingshen cross his arms, There is none. Didnt I call you earlier to prepare it? I told you that Aunt Yang had called in sick. Then you go and boil it. Huo Jingshen turned ck-faced: Quickly go! Su Wanwan acted impatiently. Huo Jingshen continued with his dark face: I feel terrible Wanwan whaahh Mo Weiyi started crying. Su Wanwan hurriedly got up, You go and prepare the sobering-up tea. Seeing he still wasnt moving, Su Wanwan reluctantly got up, I have to take care of her here, could you please help me? Thanks, husband. Youre a lifesaver. With a sweet voice, Thank you, husband. Looking at her pleasing appearance, Huo Jingshens facial features softened slightly. His brows moved a bit, and finally, he turned to leave. Su Wanwan let out a sigh, and rolled her eyes. Its really something. They are all like children who need her to coax them! Before she could finish sighing Wanwan Im here, Im here. Su Wanwan quickly turned back. ** With the maid absent, it was Su Wanwans responsibility to look after Mo Weiyi. Huo Jingshen was a man and doing so would be inappropriate. After preparing the sobering-up tea for Mo Weiyi, he left. Second-floor bedroom. About an hourter, Su Wanwan opened the bedroom door. Huo Jingshen stood and immediately came up to hold her I need to get my nightclothes to take a bath. Su Wanwan pushed him away. Theres no need. Huo Jingshen pinched her soft chin and spoke in a deep voice, Wait until afterwards to take a bath. You dimwit! Su Wanwan turned her face away, Ill stay downstairs with Weiyi tonight. Huo Jingshens face once again turnedpletely gloomy. Chapter 455: 455, Sleepwalking Young Master Xiao Chapter 455: Sleepwalking Young Master Xiao But still, the other end of the line suspected something was wrong, Yeah, why did you answer the phone when I called at midnight? Something is amiss! If theres nothing else, Ill hang up. There is, there is. The other person quickly interrupted, Tian Ye said he was organizing a ss reunion soon, which confused me. There are only four of us in Nancheng, whats the point of a reunion? Im wondering what you think Im busy. Just as I thought, you definitely wouldnt agree. Your little princess is too strict. Tian Ye is so pretty, and now shes broken up with Ye Bei and is single again. Ok, brother, Ill continue to drink, bye. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai put down his cell phone, saw the green icon on the screen, slid his hands casually and opened WeChat. Baby Yiyi icon silentlyy there, with no new messages. The nickname was something that Mo Weiyi had forced him to change after they got married, as for his nickname in her WeChat was Kiss Xiaobai. The mans thin lips slightly pursed together. A few secondster, he suddenly got out of bed. He stood in front of the wardrobe in the room and, without hesitation, opened the door.
    The side of the bedroom closet naturally held the clothes most frequently worn this season. However, now the left side was neatly arranged mens shirts, suits while the right side was empty. When he pulled open the drawer below, the left side is still neatly arranged mens underwear, the right side ** Ten minutester, there was a hurried knocking sounding from downstairs. Zhou rushed to put on her coat and open the door, only to see Xiao Yebai standing in front of the door with a gloomy and handsome face. The corridor and living room outside hadnt turned on the lights, the light from the bedroom shining on the mans face had truly given her a fright. Mr. Xiao, whats wrong? Her voice was trembling. Xiao Yebai just looked at her gloomily, then finally, his thin lips moved, Zhou stared at him nkly. After waiting for a long time, he still didnt speak. Mr. Xiao, you you Xiao Yebai suddenly turned and left. Zhou just stood there, looking confused. What just happened to Mr. Xiao? Arriving to knock at the door in the middle of the night without a word, and leaving again without a word? Checking the time, it was half past midnight. Could he be sleepwalking? God, this frightened me. Zhou quickly shut the door. I have never heard from Xiao that he sleepwalks before, I better ask Yang, who took care of Mr. Xiao before, about it. This is too scary.
    ** Xiao Yebai returned to the bedroom upstairs and closed the door. The room was quiet again. He came to a side cab, took out a bottle of wine, held the ss, and went to the balcony outside.
    Pushing open the window, the outside night was lonely, with a cold wind. The man stood on the balcony, poured a ss of red wine, elegantly held the wine ss and slowly sipped. The dim light cut a mysterious shadow on his handsome profile. It wasnt until he had slowly finished a bottle of red wine that the restlessness deep inside his body calmed down. He turned and returned to the bedroom. Not long after, the light in the bedroom went out. ** The next morning. Xiao Yebai went downstairs at seven oclock. Mr. Xiao. Zhou was used to his early rising, even though it was the weekend. Probably had some social engagements. After preparing the breakfast and seeing Xiao Yebai sit at the table, looking as elegant as ever, she cautiously asked, Mr. Xiao, were you okayst night?
    Xiao Yebai casually sipped his coffee, his expression normal, What happened? Zhous heart sank, could it really have been sleepwalking? Mr. Xiao, you came downstairs looking for mest night out of the blue, dont you remember? she hurriedly asked. Xiao Yebai was still nonchnt, I dont remember. Zhous face turned pale: Was he really sleepwalking? This is too scary. If the princess is not at home in the future, does this mean he will be knocking on her door every night? This is bad; she is old and cant handle this kind of scare. As soon as Xiao Yebai finished tidying up and left, Aunt Zhou immediately called Mo Weiyi. ** At the girls dormitory, Mo Weiyi was already forcibly awakened. Becausest night was her first time living apart after her marriage, she tossed and turned and couldnt sleep. As soon as she finally fell asleep, she was awakened by Su Wanwan.
    She checked the time, it was only seven oclock. Why are you getting up so early on a Saturday? Mo Weiyi whined from under the nkets, Baby Wanwan, Im sleepy. Werent you asleep by ten oclockst night? Now its seven oclock, youve slept for nine hours and youre still sleepy, are you a pig? Su Wanwan was already dressed in lightweight sportswear, she came over, pulling at the nket, Get up,e running with me, then well have breakfast and go study! Mo Weiyis face scrunches up, Its Saturday, weve no sses, why do we have to run, its so cold outside! Physical fitness to defend our homnd! Su Wanwan exined, warming up, brimming with vitality. She saw that Mo Weiyi had closed her eyes again, so she went straight to lift up the nket, lightly pping her on her bum. Ah! Mo Weiyi screamed. She was instantly reminded of the fear of being under Su Wanwansmand when she was in high school. Slightly regretful, what should she do now? Hurry up and get up! Su Wanwan pped her again, then yed her trump card, If you dont get up, I wont sleep with you tonight! Hearing this, Mo Weiyi reluctantly sat up, then I didnt bring any workout clothes or running shoes. As a little princess, she naturally had a preference fordylike clothes and mostly brought these types of outfits yesterday.
    Wait until tomorrow to run with you, today, let Aunt Zhou bring me my clothes and shoes. You go by yourself, Ill continue to sleep. She was interrupted by Su Wanwan before she could finish, Wear mine, Ill go get them. Then she rapidly dashed to the next room. Mo Weiyi had a gloomy look on her face. Could she not run? She really hated running, even the thought of going out in this freezing weather was unbearable.. Her phone suddenly rang, Mo Weiyi found her mobile under the pillow. Seeing it was Aunt Zhou, she immediately answered, Aunt Zhou, whats up? Princess. Aunt Zhous voice was very anxious, What to do, Young Master Xiaohes terrifying! Mo Weiyi clutched her phone tighter, What happened to him? Young Master Xiao was sleepwalking! Mo Weiyi blinked, Sleepwalking? Yes, it was past midnight yesterday when he suddenly came knocking on my door. I opened the door and he didnt say a word and just walked away. Mo Weiyi sighed, He probably needed something from you. No, I specifically asked him earlier, he doesnt remember knocking on my doorst night. Isnt this sleepwalking, princess? Did Young Master Xiao used to sleepwalk? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, No. Thats strange. At this moment, Su Wanwan came back with clothes. Mo Weiyi had to say, Aunt Zhou, I have to hang up, Im going running. What? Aunt Zhou was again taken aback. The little princess, who had been pampered and spoiled all her life, was actually getting up to run at seven oclock? Theyve gone mad! Theyre all mad! ** Although Mo Weiyi was a centimeter or two taller than Su Wanwan their bodily builds were simr so Su Wanwans clothes and shoes fit her perfectly. Apanying Su Wanwan downstairs after dawdling and dilly-dallying, they arrived on the school yground at eight oclock. They thought there wouldnt be many people around, but surprisinglythose who yed football were ying, those who ran were running, and there were even some reading their textbooks. Are they all monsters? Mo Weiyi pouted, pulling her scarf up again. Its really cold. Lets go, run for half an hour then go for breakfast. Su Wanwan said, then began to run, Stick with me! Faster! Mo Weiyi could only run after her. However, she had not exercised for years, and after running less than ap, she was out of breath. Finally, she could not stand it anymore and stopped her pace, I cant I need to rest for a while. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, speechless, and ran off on her own. Mo Weiyi bent over, clutching her chest, feeling as though her heart was about to jump out, breathless and dizzy, her vision dimming. Across the yground, a tall and stern man stood watching. He focused on the little woman standing there. Compared with the other students, even in simple hoodie, gray joggers, and ck sneakers, her head of unruly, bushy curls made her stand out. He narrowed his dark eyes, and was about to go over, when aboy? appeared beside Mo Weiyi. Chapter 465: 465, only her Mo Weiyi【Benefits】 Chapter 465: only her Mo WeiyiBenefits You could get a massage, skin care, and a beauty treatment all in one ce. It also happens to be Mo Weiyis favorite spot. But to her surprise, when she reported the location, Mo Weiyi responded, Can we choose another ce? Why change locations? Su Wanwan asked in the group chat. Mo Weiyi sent a blushing face, one of the standard emojis avable on WeChat. Su Wanwan didnt understand at all, What does that mean? Mo Weiyi then sent another standard WeChat emoji, a face with sweat. Su Wanwan found this even more puzzling. What was going on with her? She always liked to use those cute Korean child-like emojis, things like Quan Luer, Song Minguo and so forth
    Why was she suddenly acting like Huo Jingshen, sending the default WeChat emojis? After a good while, Mo Weiyi finally sent a message, Ille see you guys in the afternoon. Alright. * * Back at the old Mos house. After sending the WeChat message, Mo Weiyi logged out of her ount. The moment she put the ck business phone away, a mansrge hand grabbed her small one. Mo Weiyis heart skipped a beat. The man had fair skin, distinct knuckles, slender and elegant handsChisrge hand could almostpletely envelop her small one. This action seemed a lot like the most intimate, most affectionate gesture between lovers. Mo Weiyi thought, werent they supposed to be cold towards each other? How did things escte to this point? Weiyi. The mans voice brought Mo Weiyi back to reality. Do you know who I am? he asked. Moving her lips, Mo Weiyi remained silent.
    Xiao Yebais face suddenly darkened. It was like this again. Lately, she hadnt called him Xiaobai, even in front of elders. Mo Weiyi.
    His voice, angry and authoritative, was barely above a whisper, Say my name. Mo Weiyi kept silent. She had no idea why, but she just didnt feel likeplying. Mo Weiyi? Dont you want to go out today? Finally, Mo Weiyi opened her eyes. Because she knew. He was really capable of doing it. Even though he maintained the well-educated gentleman image, she felt that only these instances revealed his true self. Why do you want me to call your name? Mo Weiyi looked at him, her heart trembling slightly. Xiao Yebai curled his lips, a wicked smile on his handsome face. He said, I want to hear it. Only she would call him Xiaobai. No matter the past or present, others would call him Yebai, Xiao Yebai, Mr. Xiao, CEO Xiao
    Only Mo Weiyi, she would always sweetly call him Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes, asking again, But why do you want to hear it? Xiao Yebais dark eyes slightly shifted, a faint smile still clinging to his mouth, Im used to it. Mo Weiyi: Used to it? Indeed. He was used to having her cling to him, used to hearing her call him Xiaobai. It had only been a few days of not hearing it; was he so unable to handle it? Getting used to things is wonderful. But also terrifying. Terrifying to the point That Xiao Yebai, a rational and calm man, could suddenly lose hisposure. Be a good girl, say my name, Xiao Yebai spoke up again. He was eagerly waiting to hear those familiar two characters from Mo Weiyis mouth.
    Whod have thought Mo Weiyi opened her mouth, but said instead, I dont want to. Hearing this, Xiao Yebais ck eyes narrowed seriously, he asked lowly, Why not? No reason, I just dont want to, Mo Weiyi turned her face away, her eyes half-closed, her tone tired, Ive been calling it for ten years, Im tired. Chapter 501: 501, no dieting allowed Chapter 501: no dieting allowed When he found out he was supposed to call a brat ten years younger than himself sister-inw, he truly couldnt bring himself to say it. But as it turns out, peoples potential is limitless. Su Wanwanughed and, as she sat down, she ced her phone on the table. Chu Xiuhuangs eyes couldnt help but stray towards it. Then, he looked over at Huo Jingshen, who was by his side, Sure enough, he had also ced his phone on the table. Damn it, it was a pair of couple phone shells, with the idiotic designs of Minnie and Mickey, they really knew how to show off! Then he looked at his own phone, bare and shell-less, and noticed even Shi Huan had a phone panel. But what design was that? Why did it look so weird?
    Coughing twice, he spoke seriously, Little Huanhuan, help me buy a phone shellter. Hearing this, Huo Jingshen couldnt help but raise his eyes to nce at him. Shi Huan didnt doubt his request and replied, Okay. Chu Xiuhuang added, Buy one that looks exactly like yours. Whatever others had, he, Chu Xiuhuang, must have too! No matter what it was! As for Shi Huan, she nced at her own phone shell. Um, it was Peppa Pig. That phone shell was the one she had bought when she was buying one for Little Luoluo. The girl had insisted she get the same one, honestly, the color was rather childish, and it was pink too. Young Master Chu, are you sure? The young master nodded, Im sure. Alright. Shi Huan could only agree. ** After dinner, seeing that time was still early, Chu Xiuhuang suggested going to y golf. Shi Huan had no objections, after all, she was purely here to apany Young Master Chu today. But Su Wanwan said, I need to go back to school. Finals are in a few days, and I havent finished reviewing yet. Hearing this, Huo Jingshen immediately said, Ill take you back. Okay. When Huo Jingshen left with Su Wanwan, Gu Huaian also said, In that case, I wont go either. Its time for Haohaos nap.
    Haohao was holding his big hand, her little body leaning against him, as if she was about to fall asleep. Chu Xiuhuang was even more dissatisfied, Damn it, are all of you addicted to being nannies? It was fine when the older brother was taking care of his wife, whos ten years younger, but how could this unmarried one watch over his fifteen-years younger sister every day? Unbelievable! Shi Huans voice also chimed in, Young Master Chu, if thats the case
    You have something urgent too? Chu Xiuhuangs facepletely darkened. He swore, if Shi Huan also said she wanted to go back, he would immediately No, I was going to say, Young Master Chu, if thats the case, I will apany you. Hearing this, Chu Xiuhuangs expression eased a bit. Indeed, his girlfriend was the most understanding. I suddenly dont feel like ying golf anymore. As Chu Xiuhuang spoke, he held her hand and walked out, First, apany me to buy a phone shell, then well head to the pet market. Shi Huan: He really does have a mind of his own. ** Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan to the entrance of Nancheng University. Just as he was parking, his phone rang, and he nced at it before answering. Tell me the room number. Su Wanwan was watching him.
    Even though his handsome face looked calm, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, subtly indicating impatience. I know. Huo Jingshen only said a few words before hanging up. Su Wanwan immediately asked, Is it work-rted? After asking, she realized it didnt make sense. Today was Saturday, there was no work. A friend is hospitalized. Huo Jingshen spoke calmly. Who? Su Wanwan unconsciously continued questioning. After all, she seemed to know all of Huo Jingshens friends, and Chu Xiuhuang hadnt mentioned anything about visiting someone at the hospital. Huo Jingshen looked at her, his face was full of interest, Is my darling checking on me? Is that not allowed? Su Wanwan naturally continued the conversation. Huo Jingshen curled his thin lips, his well-defined fingers pinching her cheeks, Concentrate on your exams, dont think about unnecessary stuff. He pinched her so hard, Su Wanwan couldnt help but pull his hand away, You jerk, that hurts. However, Huo Jingshen quickly said again, Darling, have you been gaining weighttely? Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan got extremely annoyed, What did you say? Are you saying Im fat?
    Damn it! Doesnt he know that women cant tolerate any talk about weight? Huo Jingshen coughed lightly, I misspoke, I mean, darling, youre just getting fleshier. Is there any difference? Su Wanwan was even more irritated. Darling, stop cursing. Dont touch me! Su Wanwan angrily pushed him away, I have to go back and diet, Im not eating dinner! Youre not allowed to diet! Huo Jingshen responded quickly. Why? Su Wanwan was so angry, he says shes fat, yet he wont allow her to diet? Recalling his attentiveness at the dinner table, she immediately said, Every time I have dinner with you, you always heap food onto my te. Youre doing it on purpose, I gained weight because of you! I did it on purpose. Huo Jingshen didnt deny, But darling, you are not fat at all. And added, Right now, youre just right. You look slim in clothes but theres some flesh when you get undressed, it feels good to touch Su Wanwan: What the hell!
    Turns out every time he force-fed her, it was all for his own perverse pleasure! Hes such a scheming jerk! Alright, alright, be good, dont diet. After Huo Jingshen finished speaking, with the tone of a parent asking about their child, he asked, Are you confident with this exam? Its okay, Su Wanwan picked up her coat and put it on, with her petite nose and small eyes, she didnt even want to talk to him anymore. Chapter 502: 502, I, Huo Jingshen, wont become a son-in-law who moves into his wifes family home. Chapter 502: I, Huo Jingshen, wont be a son-inw who moves into his wifes family home. Just alright? Huo Jingshen raised his handsome eyebrows, looking slightly displeased. He had endured for so long, making her study diligently every day in school with that giant baby, Mo Weiyi, and now his answer was Just alright? Su Wanwan exined, The domestic textbooks are different from those abroad. In the first two years, I practically didnt learn anything, so theres not much I can help with theck of foundation. Although she had worked really hard. What if you perform badly in the exam. Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his words carried a warning, Husband will impose a punishment. Su Wanwans face turned dark, What if I do well? Is there a reward? What kind of reward do you want? If I tell you, youll give it to me? Su Wanwans eyes lit up, she immediately started listing, I want red packets, sports cars, mansions, yachts Huo Jingshen:
    Seeing his annoyed expression, Su Wanwan shut up and grabbed her handbag from the back seat, If you wont give it, its your loss, cheapskate! She always knew he was stingy, like a modern-day Huang Shiren! Would you like another reward from your husband? Huo Jingshen suddenly asked. Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow at him, her pretty eyes clear as day, What kind of other reward? Huo Jingshen leaned in, Your husband will give you plenty of He muttered two earth-shaking words. A heatwave surged straight to her face. Su Wanwan: Furious yet embarrassed, she was speechless. Dammit. This damned, foul man. It wasnt even holiday yet but he had already revealed his true colors. What would he be like during the real holiday She could already envision her miserable vacation! After unbuckling her seatbelt, Su Wanwan finally found her voice, Im leaving first. Wait a minute. Huo Jingshen had another request, Arent you going to reward me before leaving? Su Wanwan was flustered, Wasnt what just happened enough? That was your husband rewarding you. Your husband prefers it when you initiate, understand? Su Wanwan: She didnt understand at all!
    * * * In the drivers seat, Huo Jingshen just sat there, watching the young girl walk into the school gate before slowly driving off.
    The car returned to its silent state. The mans handsome profile also gradually returned to serenity, as if devoid of any emotions. Half an hourter, the ck Mu Shang slowly entered Nangong Hospital. * * Two bodyguards guarded the door of the VIP room. Upon seeing Huo Jingshen approaching, both bodyguards immediately bowed and respectfully greeted, Mr. Huo. The door opened, and the woman on the hospital bed, who was reading, looked up. Seeing the mans handsome face, Dong Manjiaos originally aloof and impatient expression immediately melted into a smile. Jason, howe youre here? Did you know I was hospitalized? At her indication, the two bodyguards swiftly closed the door. Dong Manjiao emerged from under the nkets and got off the bed. The room was heated, so she was only wearing a thin hospital gown, but it couldnt cover her mature and attractive figure.
    She strode melodiously up to Huo Jingshen, tiptoed, and lifted her chin. Just as she was about to touch him, Huo Jingshen suddenly took a step back. A fake smile froze on her face. Dong Manjiao stood there and slowly wrapped her arms around herself, her deep blue pupils filled with scrutiny and discontent, Jason, whats wrong? Im already married. But I just wanted to greet you. This is China, Huo Jingshen tactfully implied, Cheek kisses are not appropriate here. Dong Manjiaos fingers tightened slightly. She watched as the man gracefully sat down on the sofa in front of her. They hadnt seen each other for several months now, and she wasnt sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Huo Jingshen had changed somewhat. But what had changed? He was still impably dressed in his mature, professional attire. His expression was indifferent, revealing no emotions; his reserved, profound, and charming demeanor was still intact when silent. Dong Manjiao had never been particrly attracted to Eastern men, thinking they were too weak andcking in masculinity.
    However, Huo Jingshen was an exception. Firstly, his height of 1.9 meters was no different from that of Western men. Secondly, his body proportions were excellent, thanks to his regr workouts. Not to mention his firm physique, his defined muscles rivalled those of European male models depicted on television or in magazines. Most importantly, besides his eye-catching appearance, he possesses top-notch rationality. How could she easily give up on such an exceptional man? Dong Manjiao slowly hooked her red lips, Jason, why didnt you tell me about your marriage? Why should I tell you? Jason, as you know, I love you very much, and my father has always hoped that you could be our familys son-inw As Ive said many times before, Huo Jingshen looked at her, his eyebrows cold, and his demeanor unaffected, I, Huo Jingshen, will never be a son-inw. Jason, why do you consider bing our familys son-inw as being a burden? Dong Manjiao spread her hands, disagreeing with his viewpoint, Youre so outstanding. Once you enter our family, with your abilities, the entire Eastern Alliance will be yours. No one will think that you achieved this position because of me. Chapter 503: 503, people always change. Chapter 503: people always change. This issue reveals a cognitive difference between the East and the West. I dont me you for not understanding, said Huo Jingshen in a calm tone. Alright. Dong Manjiao nodded, Can you now tell me why you suddenly got married? Noment. Jason, Ive been in Nancheng for a week now. I looked into your wife. Shes a child her father brought home after marrying another woman. In other words, shes just an illegitimate child of unknown parentage. During her schooling, she was a troublemaker. After she grew up, she even got engaged to Xing Yuyun, the grandson of the Huo family. She was sent abroad for two years. As soon as she returned to Nancheng, she got married to you in a rush. Dong Manjiao couldnt help butugh, Jason, do you think other people dont know you as well as I do? You dont have the patience to tame a girl full of issues, even if someone pressured you. Huo Jingshens voice was deep and warm, You think you know me very well? Dong Manjiaoughed more brilliantly, Im a woman, so of course I understand men. In this world, theres no other woman who knows you better than I do. After all, how many years have we known each other? If you really understood men, you would know that people change. Especially men like me. Dong Manjiaos smile didnt falter, So you mean to say, youve changed? She didnt believe it.
    All men in this world love power and influence. The higher their position, the greater their desire for power and influence. Even someone as outstanding as Huo Jingshen was not an exception. If you want to do something, I advise you to think thrice, said Huo Jingshen, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further. He stood up, his tall and slender figure rising gracefully, I have business to attend to. Ill be going first. Youre just going to leave like that? Dong Manjiaos smile finally faltered somewhat, Do you not care about my illness at all? Did you juste here to warn me today? You can think of it that way. So youre just going to spoil your little wife like that? Manjiao. Huo Jingshen finally spoke her name, but his tone was just as aloof and formal as before, After all these years, Ive only regarded you as an ordinary friend. An ordinary friend? Dong Manjiao repeated the phrase. So they werent even friends? Justordinary friends? Sheughed sarcastically, Jason, I dont think my devotion to you over the years is mere friendship. I also dont believe you cant see it. Youre a smart woman. Some things dont need to be said. You should understand. So what? Youre persuading me to give up? If you dont, we will have to be strangers, said Huo Jingshen lightly, After all, my wife is prone to jealousy. Her pupils suddenly constricted, and Dong Manjiao once again felt faint. Strangers? Each word was more hurtful than thest. This man always knew how to shatter her pride and calm with just a few words. But he was right. She was a smart woman. She knew that verbal arguments were the most powerless and time-consuming.
    Taking a deep breath, Dong Manjiao abruptly changed the subject, Jason, did you hear? Fu Xihan had an ident. Huo Jingshens unemotional face since he had stepped into the room finally showed a hint of change, What happened to him? I dont know him well. I only heard he was hospitalized, someone shot him. The bullet hit near his heart, he was on the verge of dying on the spot. Huo Jingshens brow furrowed slightly.
    So, arent you going back to the UK to see your good friend? Remember, he was the one who took on all the risks and responsibilities to get you out of the Eastern Alliance. Huo Jingshen was indifferent, I have to go. Dong Manjiao didnt try to keep him, her face revealing a graceful and beguiling smile, Alright. ** Meanwhile, Su Wanwan arrived at the dormitory entrance, suddenly turned and headed towards the parking lot. Her car had been parked there for two months. She had intended to check on it, but unexpectedly encountered a familiar figure. Ling Zhizhou. Next to him seemed to be the same man asst time. Were they arguing? I told you, I have a n for this! What n? Spending your days as apdog and ying nice? Its none of your business! Half a year passed and thats all you can do. You
    Ling Zhizhou suddenly shut his mouth, looking slightly flustered at Su Wanwan. Then he quickly spoke to the man, who immediately turned around, got into a silver-gray Maybach, and drove away at a high speed. Su Wanwan watched the car. A Maybach, huh? Thats worth several millions, right? Is Ling Zhizhous cousin that rich? Senior, why did youe to the parking lot? By this time, Ling Zhizhou had run over, his face full of his usual sunny smile. Su Wanwan retracted her gaze, My car has been parked here for a long time. I came to check it out. I see. Were you arguing with your cousin? Huh? Ling Zhizhou was taken aback, then immediately said, We werent arguing. We just had some disagreements. Oh. Senior, did you hear our conversation just now? Seeing Su Wanwan shake her head, Ling Zhizhou sighed in relief, He always thinks I dont know much. Every time hees, he just lectures me, so
    He checked the time, I have to go to the reading room now. Goodbye, senior. Goodbye. Watching his retreating figure, Su Wanwan felt that for some reason, this junior seemed to be somewhat secretivetely. He was clearly arguing with his cousin just now. As soon as they saw her, the man immediately left, as if he didnt want her to see him. Chapter 504: 504, such an indifferent man Chapter 504: such an indifferent man Back at the dormitory, the room next door was tightly shut. Su Wenwen gave Mo Weiyi a call, only to be told she was studying in the reading room. This girl had been studying like mad these past few days as if shed been injected with chicken blood. And she hadnt seen Xiao Yebaie by either. Although Su Wanwan was worried, Mo Weiyi kept silent, and as a friend, Su Wanwan didnt feel right to keep asking. Mo Weiyi returned as it was time for dinner. Hearing movement next door, Su Wanwan quickly got up and asked, Weiyi, are you going for dinner? Yes. Mo Weiyi put down her school bag, Wanwan, remind me tomorrow morning to change the water for the turtles. Got it. Su Wanwan was speechless.
    This girl could hardly even take care of herself and yet she was raising turtles in the dormitory. And she was incredibly protective of these two little turtles, insisting that they were hibernating and needed their water changed regrly, the room temperature maintained, and even called Aunt Zhou regrly for advice. All because these two little green turtles were a gift from that jerk Xiao Yebai! Su Wanwan decided to let it be. The exams were in a few days anyway, and after that, they would move back home. She really didnt believe that Mo Weiyi could push it to divorce. ** At seven in the evening, Chen Jin arrived for tutoring, and Su Wanwan went back to her own dormitory. Miss Mo, Ill be heading back home tomorrow. Here are the key points I drew for you. You always forget these grammar rules and vocabry. You must make sure to memorize them in the next few days, and these as well Mo Weiyi nodded earnestly. Although she had been studying hard, she had wasted two years, and trying to cram at thest minute was quite challenging. But she still wanted to give it her best try. If she had initially aimed for the top ten rankings in order to get pregnant and have a baby, now, it was for herself. Ten years had passed. In those ten years, she seemed to have been revolving around Xiao Yebai, forsaking her studies,cking focus in life, only to eventually realize she was wasting her time. Those scenes from their argument in the dormitory often reyed in her dreams. She had pped him, and the man stood at the door, his slender fingers caressing his cheek while he looked at her. His eyes were pitch-ck, deep, obscure, and difficult to decipher. But she knew it. From their verbal argument in the office to their most recent quarrel, she had hurt him badly again. Since that day, he had note looking for her.
    Neither had he called nor sent any messages. Even when she called Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou would often mention him, but Mo Weiyi no longer wanted to listen. They seemed like two trains heading in opposite directions, getting farther and farther apart. Start with these problems first. Chen Jins voice sounded.
    Mo Weiyi snapped back to reality, Okay. Chen Jin sat for a while and then walked over to the table on the balcony. She looked at the two hibernating small turtles in the blue water tank. Once, when she was at the Lishui Bay Vi, she had asked Aunt Zhou out of curiosity whether Mo Weiyi actually liked to keep turtles? After all, shouldnt a girl like her rather prefer cute little cats and dogs? At that time, Aunt Zhou had told her that Mr. Xiao had given these turtles as a wedding anniversary gift to the princess, and she had even named them Xiao Xiaobai and Xiao Baibai. Xiao Xiaobai? Xiao Baibai? Chen Jinughed. Xiao Yebai actually let Mo Weiyi name the turtles after him? Such a cold man, yet inside he had such a gentle side. And obviously, Mo Weiyi was very fond of these two little turtles. After moving into the dormitory, she had even brought them along. Chen Jins smile gradually faded, and there was something different in her eyes.
    The room was very quiet, except for the asional sound of Mo Weiyi working on her problems, Chen Jin could hear her own heartbeat. Throb, throb, it was beating very fast. She had recently looked up a lot of information about keeping turtles online and hade to understand why Xiao Yebai had given Mo Weiyi turtles. Turtles were easy to keep, requiring a water change only once a week, feeding was not troublesome, they didnt need much attention, and they hibernated for several months in winter. The owner didnt have to worry at all. She quickly nced back. Mo Weiyi was poring over the problems, her head bowed, her slightly curly fluffy hair draping over her cheeks,pletely focused. Chen Jin averted her gaze and subtly moved to the side to block the sight of the water tank, quickly taking out a small bottle from her pocket, unscrewing the lid, and pouring the liquid inside into the water. Having done all this, her heart seemed to beat even faster, as if all her blood was surging to her brain. After packing everything away, Chen Jin took a deep breath, Miss Mo, Im going to the balcony to make a call. Okay. Mo Weiyi was engrossed, oblivious to anything else. ** It was nine oclock in the evening. After the lesson, Chen Jin said, Miss Mo, all the sses are finished. I hope you get good grades in your exam tomorrow.
    Thank you. Mo Weiyi beamed at her, If I need your help again in the future, Ill call you. For your sry, Zhong Kai will settle it with you in a couple of days. If I do well in the exams, Ill give you a big red envelope as a bonus. Thank you, Miss Mo. Chen Jin smiled brightly. She packed her things and before leaving, nced once more at the blue water tank. If she remembered correctly, Mo Weiyi would be changing the water for the turtles in the next couple of days. Chapter 505: 505, it turns out all was bought by the assistant Chapter 505: it turns out all was bought by the assistant Mo Group. In the afternoon, Zhong Kai was sitting in his office, feeling sleepy, when suddenly his cell phone rings. Scanning the caller ID, hes startled awake. Hurriedly answering the phone with the utmost respect, Princess, is there something you need? Zhong Kai, can I still buy turtles? Turtles? Zhong Kai ispletely baffled. Mo Weiyi said, My pet turtle just died. I see. Zhong Kai cant help but want tough. Here he thought it was something serious, but it turns out her little turtle died. He was actually a bit surprised. Considering how pampered the little princess was, needing servants to take care of even herself, how could she possibly handle taking care of animals?
    He initially thought the two little turtles couldst only three days at most, and was surprised that they survived this long. So, he immediately said, Little Princess, Ill go to the flower and bird market to find two new ones for you. Do you know what kind they are? Of course. I personally bought the two little turtles before. I still have the shopkeepers number, Ill call right away and see if he has the same ones. Zhong Kai enthusiastically said. Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, You said, the two little turtles fromst time were bought by you? Yes, back then, Mr. Xiao mentioned that the Little Princess did not want jewelry as before, and asked me not to buy jewelry, but to purchase something different. I racked my brains. It was ultimately the shopkeeper who convinced me to buy them, asserting that turtles are easy to care for. I did not expect that you would like this gift so much Hello, Princess? As Zhong Kai was speaking, the call suddenly ended. He put down his phone, utterly confused. What happened? Why did the princess suddenly hang up the phone? Did he say something wrong? Upon reflection, he realized he did not. * * In her dorm, Mo Weiyi put down her phone and stared at the blue water tank in front of her for a long while. Mr. Xiao mentioned that the Little Princess did not want jewelry as before, and asked me not to buy jewelry, but to purchase something different. I racked my brains. It was ultimately the shopkeeper who convinced me to buy them, saying that turtles are easy to care for. I did not expect that you would like this gift so much Mo Weiyi suddenly wanted tough. So these two little turtles were not bought by Xiao Yebai, but by his assistant. She had been baffled as to why her wedding anniversary gift would be two little turtles?
    She really was silly. Silly to the point of making up so manyme reasons When Zhong Kai called again, Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and slid the call connect button, Zhong Kai. Princess, why did you hang up just now? Diddid I say something wrong? Zhong Kai cautiously asked.
    Hed been thinking hard about it, worrying that somewhere hed misspoke, unintentionally offending the princess. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, No, I entered the elevator and lost signal, causing the call to cut off. Ah, I see. Zhong Kai sighed in relief, Princess, about the turtles No need to buy them. Ah? Zhong Kai. Mo Weiyi suddenly changed the subject, I identally damaged my favorite jade ne yesterday. Can I send you a picture and you take a look for me? Okay. Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, went to her desk, and dug out the jade ne. This ne was a birthday gift Xiao Yebai had given her on her neenth birthday. Like all other gifts, they were sent via Zhong Kai. She had never doubted it before. Because Xiao Yebai was a workaholic, its understandable that he was too busy to select and deliver the gifts himself. Until Zhong Kai admitted that he had bought those two little turtles
    Mo Weiyi wanted to test something. She quickly snapped a photo, sending it via WeChat to Zhong Kai, [Do you know this brand?] Zhong Kai immediately replied, [I do, Im very familiar with the shop owner.] [Youre familiar with him?] [Yes, all of the princesss jewelry was bought by me from this shop. Dont worry, if it cant be fixed, I will have the boss remake the exact same one.] Mo Weiyi replied with a smile, [Alright, thank you.] Zhong Kai was earnest and frightened, [Princess, youre too kind.] He followed this with a blushing emoji. * * Zhong Kai indeed felt quite shocked. The princess of the Mo family was always aloof and capricious, this was the first time hed seen her thank him so politely. It was truly strange!
    Just then, the inte rings. Zhong Kai hastily picks up, Mr. Xiao. Come in. Yes, Mr. Xiao. Zhong Kai snagged his notebook and quickly rushed to the CEOs office. The man sitting behind the ck desk began to speak in a calm and collected manner, Did you finalize the annual summary? Only the marketing departments is missing. Illpile all of them before the end of the day. Whats the progress on the Jiangbei demolition? The project leader called me this morning. Almost all negotiations with local residents have beenpleted. The few stubborn households have been cated. As soon as the demolition orderes, we can start the next phase. Xiao Yebai continued to ask several work-rted questions. From start to finish, he maintained a poker face, his voice low. asionally ncing up, his gaze was eerily ck. Zhong Kai felt immense pressure just being watched by those eyes. Although Mr. Xiao was always serious about work, Zhong Kais sixth sense as a man was telling him thattely, Mr. Xiao was taking his dedication to work to the extreme.
    Chapter 506: 506, the arrogant President Xiao is not to be messed with Chapter 506: the arrogant President Xiao is not to be messed with Although CEO Xiao always took his work seriously, as a man with a sixth sense, he couldnt help but notice that his boss was, ofte, taking seriousness to a whole other level. Every day, he showed up in the office before nine in the morning, and he worked overtime, attending various meetings, until nine or ten in the evening. Unless there was socializing to do outside or he had to leave for somewhere else, as his assistant, he had no choice but to apany his boss and work overtime in the office. It was simply unbearable! Zhong Kai once called the housekeeper at the Lishui Bay Vi, and the reply he got was: the princess has been staying at school all month. So it could be assumed that CEO Xiao Yebais workaholic tendencies were due to ack of a sex life? A yin-yang imbnce, leading to a vtile temper, could only mean that he was channeling all his energy into work, right? Once all the reports were handed in, and seeing his boss still had a stone face, Zhong Kai carefully broke the news, CEO Xiao, the princess just called me. Just as expected, upon hearing that, the mans face rxed a little. Even though his reaction was subtle, Zhong Kai noticed it.
    However, Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. Zhong Kai then quickly said, The two pet turtles that we sent to the princess earlier, it seems theyve suddenly died due to hibernation. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelid, So? Zhong Kai was taken aback. Was he not supposed to instruct him to buy two new pet turtles for the princess immediately? What did he mean by so? Zhong Kai had no choice but to offer advice again, So, CEO Xiao, do you want me to buy two more exactly the same and send them over to the princess? The little princess is so pure and kind-hearted, she must be so sad after her pet turtles died, if CEO Xiao gives her You may leave now. Huh? Zhong Kai froze. CEO Xiao, the turtles Should he buy them or not? The man coldly, almost sarcastically, stared at him. His handsome features tightened and looked slightly rugged, even vaguely showing some signs of anger. Without saying a word, he made Zhong Kais back run cold, so he quickly picked up his notebook. CEO Xiao, Ill leave now. After leaving the CEOs office, Zhong Kai couldnt help but grumble to himself. God damn, that scared the crap out of him. The boss obviously loved and cared about the princess, so why did he always deny it in front of him? The proud and tsundere CEO Xiao was indeed untouchable. * *
    At a corner of the university garden. Su Wanwan stood there, watching Ling Zhizhou dig a hole, helped Mo Weiyi to put the box with the turtles in the hole, and then fill it up. She had said it all along. With a delicate personality like Mo Weiyi, who could barely take care of herself, she brought the turtles to their dormitory. As expected, the turtles had met with an early demise. But seeing that Mo Weiyi seemed quite sad, Su Wanwan didnt feel it appropriate to say much.
    Regardless, they were two living creatures. Their sudden departure without warning might naturally cause the owner to grieve. Senior sister, shall I apany you to buy two new ones? Ling Zhizhou seemed to notice Mo Weiyis mood was a bit down and actively proposed. Mo Weiyi shook her little head, No need. Then forget it. Su Wanwan echoed, Once the exams are over, well be on holiday. If you still want to keep pets, we can talk about it when the new semester begins. I wont keep them again. said Mo Weiyi, I dont like turtles in the first ce. Huh? Su Wanwan looked at her. Ling Zhizhou was also confused. Lets go, to the reading room. After Mo Weiyi said this, she turned around and left. Su Wanwan: What was wrong with this girl? Theyd just sat down in the reading room when Su Wanwans cell phone rang.
    It was a message from Huo Jingshen. [Baby,e to the school gate for a while.] Su Wanwan felt like rolling her eyes. Didnt they just meet yesterday? This man He really was clingy! But what could she do? He was her husband, since they were married, there was no way around it. She could only stand up, Weiyi, I need to step out for a bit. Okay. Mo Weiyi didnt even raise her head. * * When she reached the school gate, Su Wanwan immediately ran over, opened the car door, and sat inside.
    Huo Jingshen was wearing a dark blue cashmere sweater with a white shirt, his gentle gaze focused on her. The sight of him set Su Wanwans heart racing. Whats up? Huo Jingshen finally spoke, Your husband has to catch a flight. Business trip again? No wonder he suddenly came to the school to see her. Su Wanwan immediately asked, Where are you going, and for how long? Going to the UK, for about a week. When your exams are over, Ill be back. Su Wanwan immediately frowned, To meet Fu Qi? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, leisurely staring at her, So you dont trust your own husband? I dont trust her! Su Wanwan red at him. She still remembered Fu Qis words at the time, her love for Huo Jingshen was simply cherished like family heirlooms! Xihan has run into some trouble, I have to go back. Huo Jingshen exined. Fu Xihan, Su Wanwan naturally knew about him, he was Fu Ziyangs father, but he seemed to be a jerk as well.
    Does Ziyang know? Im not telling him for now. Okay then. Huo Jingshen looked at the time and then at the young girl, Husband is leaving now, wont my baby say goodbye? Su Wanwan was taken aback by his suddenly changed topic. So seriously asking her to say goodbye was really But thinking about being miles apart again, Su Wanwans eyes unconsciously looked down. This man was polished from head to toe, his handsome face was clean and refined, you couldnt see a trace of beard on his face, only when you got closer could you see a bit of stubble on his jaw. Honestly, he was very manly and sexy. She moved closer. Quickly, urately, and ruthlessly, she gave him a peck. Is that okay? Just like that. Su Wanwan was stunned. Wasnt that enough? Hurry up. Su Wanwan was speechless, just about to speak. Forget it, the husband will do it direct. Su Wanwan again: The most frequent route she had taken in her life was this mans roundabout ways! Finally, after it ended, Huo Jingshen patted her head, Baby, focus on your exams these few days, be good and wait for husband toe back. Su Wanwan nodded. Her face was still very red, looking somewhat shy. In his eyes, he saw a distinctly lovable charm. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but raise his eyebrows. If it wasnt for the fact that time was running out, he really wanted to say goodbye to her one more time. * * Two dayster, the end-of-term exam at Nancheng University officially began. The examssted five days, in the morning, afternoon, and even at night. After five days of exams, Su Wanwan walked out of the exam room feelingpletely drained, almost as if her brain cells were all burnt out. But thinking about finally being able to go on break, and the old man alsoing back to the country, her mood instantly brightened. Moreover, the winter vacationsted nearly a month. In the second half of the year when she returned to school, she would have to prepare for internships and graduation papers. She could n her future development goals well. Back in the dormitory, the whole dormitory building seemed to be filled with the joyful atmosphere of the uing break. Soon Zhao Qianqian called, saying that she had gathered a few ssmates for a get-together that evening. Because the next time they would meet would be after the New Year, which would be a month away. After some thought, Su Wanwan dly agreed. Once she had packed up her things, she heard voices next door, she immediately put down her things and went over. Aunt Zhou was in the dormitory helping Mo Weiyi pack her luggage. When she first moved in, she had a total of seven suitcases; now, going back, she had only packed one suitcase. Weiyi, are you going home now? Yes. Su Wanwan couldnt resist asking, Isnt Xiao Zonging to pick you up? I dont need him. Su Wanwan: In fact, ever since Xiao Yebai visited herst time, he never seemed to visit the school again, up until the exams took ce. She was now going home and he still wouldnte to pick her up? This jerk is beyond saving! * * Half an hourter. Sitting in the car, Aunt Zhou said with a smile, Princess, I made your favorite ginseng chicken soup, you can drink it when you get home. I dont like ginseng chicken soup. Ah? Aunt Zhou was stunned. The little princess always asked her to prepare ginseng chicken soup in advance, why all of a sudden she didnt like it I like to drink bone soup. Mo Weiyi smiled, Aunt Zhou, make me more bone soup in the future, put in some winter melon, radish and such, I love to eat it. Okay. Talking and chatting all the way, they quickly returned to the Lishui Bay Vi. The servants helped to carry the luggage and Mo Weiyi went straight in. It was four in the afternoon, and Xiao Yebai hadnt finished work yet. Companies haveter holidays than schools, and he was always a workaholic. He definitely wouldnt be home until eight or nine oclock. The vi was cleaned up and tidy, not much different from when she left. All around were traces of her decorations, including the Japanese girl illustrations on the wall imbued with a strong youthfulness. Chapter 507: 507, the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom Chapter 507: the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom The vi was neatly cleaned, same as when shest left it. Her traces were everywhere, including the youthful yet heavy Japanese cartoons on the walls. Walking up the stairs, at the corner, she looked up and saw her wedding photos with Xiao Yebai on the wall. Shes the one who had insisted the housemaid hang them on the wall. There seemed to be no issue before, but now she realized that in every wedding photo, she wasughing happily while the man beside her was always indifferent. She remembered how they rescheduled the wedding photo shoot several times. At that time, he had just started working at Mo Family. His work was busy, and he faced many criticisms and censures from outside, so she would always amodate his schedule. Finally, they managed to find a day for the wedding photo shoot. Yet at the studio, despite the photographers persuasion, he wouldnt smile. Initially, they were supposed to have seven or eight photo shoots, but they ran out of time and had to cancel all the outdoor shoots; they only managed to carry out three indoor shoots. Despite this, she felt so happy being immersed in the joy of her wedding. As soon as she received the framed wedding photos, she immediately adorned the entire vi with them. Mo Weiyi slowly walked upstairs and arrived at the master bedroom. She opened the door, stood at the doorway, and gazed at the roomsyout without moving for a long time.
    Only when Aunt Zhou came upstairs with a suitcase did she gave amand: Aunt Zhou, help me drag the suitcase to the second bedroom. Alright. Aunt Zhou did not think much about it and turned away. Then, she heard Mo Weiyi speak again: Help me clean up the second bedroom while youre at it. Aunt Zhou immediately turned around and looked at her, Princess, what is I want to sleep in a different room. But Master Xiao said Never mind what he said. Mo Weiyi said lightly. However, Aunt Zhou was flustered. Princess, have you not reconciled with Master Xiao yet? Mo Weiyi had previously been carried home drunk by Xiao Yebai. Aunt Zhou had thought that they had already made up, and yet Princess, did Master Xiao do something wrong? I can go and tell the old master No, Mo Weiyi abruptly interrupted her. Aunt Zhou, please just help me clean up the second room, dont mind the other things, and dont tell my grandfather. Okay? Alright then. Aunt Zhou had no choice but to agree. Once Aunt Zhou he had finished tidying up the bedding and such, Mo Weiyi quickly brought over her dolls and gave an order, Bring over the clothes from the master bedroom as well. Alright, Princess. After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she went to take a bath. By the time Aunt Zhou had finished tidying up the second bedroom, Mo Weiyi had just finished her bath, and promptly went to bed immediately. Princess, its almost time for dinner
    Ive been busy with exams for the past few days and am extremely tired. I will eat after I wake up. Aunt Zhou: Alright. A week of high-intensity final exams, during which she was consumed by countless English words andws, left Mo Weiyi drained and desperately needing sufficient rest. **
    Aunt Zhou went downstairs and after giving it some thought, she gathered up her nerve and dialed Xiao Yebais number. It took many rings for the call to be answered; a clean and deep voice came through, Aunt Zhou. Master Xiao, the Princess is home. Hmm. The mans voice was indifferent, absent of any strong emotion. Aunt Zhou frowned, Master Xiao, the Princess said earlier that she wants to sleep in the second bedroom and has already moved her things there. I couldnt stop her. Aunt Zhou, Im in a meeting. Aunt Zhou beseeched him, But Master Xiao, Ive watched the Princess grow up from a child. She may be a bit childish, but her intentions are pure and shes easy to cate. If she did something wrong and upset you, you should forgive her more and take the initiative to appease her Well talkter. Master Xiao Before she could finish, the call was cut off. Aunt Zhou was incredibly worried. One wasing home to the vi for vacation but chose to sleep in the second bedroom; the other, whose wife just returned home, was still in the office having a meeting. What kind of situation was this?
    ** Mo Weiyi had a long sleep. The curtains in the room were closed, and a soft yellow wallmp was switched on. The dim light provided a peaceful atmosphere, lulling her into a deep sleep. When she finally woke up, she opened her eyes to see a dark figure sitting at the edge of the bed. Ah! Mo Weiyi was shocked and screamed, yet her mouth was swiftly covered by a mansrge palm. A familiar male fragrance quickly filled her nostrils. Mo Weiyi blinked, her entire body gradually settling. Then, her hand abruptly moved, pulling the other hand down, she asked somewhat indignantly, Are you trying to scare me to death? Who allowed you into my room? Who invited you to sit on my bed? The room was dimly lit, with the only source of illumination, a wallmp, being on the opposite side of arge bed. A man sat sideways by the bed, appearing condescending from above. Because his back was to the light, his facial expression and emotions remained hidden. But, after hearing her words, he did not respond. On the contrary, due to Mo Weiyi facing the light source, he could see her clearly.
    She was wearing a pure white nightgown and sitting halfway on the head of the bed. Her shoulder-length, honey-colored curly hair looked quite exquisite, although it was particrly fluffy and a bit messy from sleep, covering her fair and slightly flushed face. The sweet facade of the person before him unintentionally exuded a sense of innocent allure. Finally, Xiao Yebai gave a low and calm response, Why did you suddenly decide to cut your hair? Ever since she was 15 years old, when she first came to the Xiao Family, Mo Weiyi, then 10, had always kept her hair waist-length. After she had started high school, she decided to get her hair permed intorge waves. Doing it consistently over the many years made it a part of her definitive image. No one cherished their hair more than her. She always took good care of her hair. The previous hairstyle, like it was customized for her, gave her a strong princess vibe. But now, she had chopped it to shoulder length with curls. Though it still looked pretty, something seemed Off. Mo Weiyi lifted her little chin, I just wanted to cut it. Why does it need to have a reason? Why did you want to cut it? Mo Weiyi did not want to answer that question, I need to get up now, could you please move aside. Xiao Yebai still remained motionless.
    Mo Weiyi decided to lift her nket and get off the bed from the other side. She turned on the lights, approached the wardrobe to pick out clothes. She was about to change her pajamas when she suddenly seemed to realize something, stopping her movement. Then, unable to help herself, she turned and asked, Arent you going to go out? Under the bright light, Xiao Yebai sat on the edge of the bed in the same position. The mans handsome and three-dimensional facial contours, wearing elegant t sses, impably dressed in a shirt and trouser ensemble covered by a dark brown cashmere sweater. He carried an inscrutable aura of being a gentleman. If it had been before, Mo Weiyi wouldve already thrown herself onto him. But now, she wore a cold expression, her exquisite features still dainty but devoid of any emotion. Seeing him silent, she turned her back and pretended that he did not exist. Around the house, she always soughtfort, wearing loose, casual clothes withoutyering. She did the same for sleeping. Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, looking at the womans silhouette. His hands, which had been resting at his sides, gradually clenched into fists. After quickly changing into a sweater and grabbing a pair of casual pants, Mo Weiyi stood in front of the mirror for a nce and then headed onwards. Without a single backward nce. ** Upon reaching downstairs, Aunt Zhou immediately approached her, Princess, Young Master Xiao, he Aunt Zhou, is the rib soup ready? I am hungry. Oh, its ready. Princess, let me serve it for you. After speaking, Aunt Zhou nced at the stairs. She had thought that uponing home, Young Master Xiao would instantly go upstairs to appease Mo Weiyi, yet it was still the princess who came down alone. After pouring the soup and arranging all the other dishes on the dining table, Aunt Zhou exited the dining room only to see Xiao Yebai descending the staircase. She immediately hurried over to him, Young Master Xiao, dinner is ready. Mm, was all Xiao Yebai said, his voice t as he headed for the dining room. Aunt Zhou hurried to the kitchen for another set of tableware. Upon reaching the dining room, she looked over and probably thought Umm Mo Weiyi was elegantly sipping the soup from her bowl, while Xiao Yebai sat across from her, visibly emotionless, silently watching her. The atmosphere wasnt just slightly awkward. After a moment, Aunt Zhou decided to leave the room. It was not her ce, as a servant, to get involved with a couples business. The dining room was quiet again. After finishing two bowls of soup and gnawing a few pieces of rib, Mo Weiyi finally felt full. She put down her chopsticks and got up to leave without uttering a single word. From beginning to end, she did not nce at Xiao Yebai even once. Chapter 508: 508, ten years of feelings all fed to the dog Chapter 508: ten years of feelings all fed to the dog When Xiao Yebai returned to the living room, Aunt Zhou hurriedly went up to inform him, Young Master Xiao, the princess has gone to the audiovisual room on the second floor. Hmm. Xiao Yebai responded indifferently and turned to go to the study. Aunt Zhou: What? * * * Mo Weiyi watched two of thetest romantic movies in the audiovisual room. During it, she received a call from her grandmother and found out that she had started her winter break, so she mentioned Qu Yunyaos situation. The olddy finally said, Yunyao, this child, has really been spoiled by your little aunt. She made such a big scandal, its uneptable. Its a good idea to send her abroad to study. Shes still young, she should focus more on her studies.
    Mo Weiyi looked at the big screen, and suddenly said, Grandma, can I stay with you for a few days in Nancheng tomorrow? But the olddy didnt agree immediately, Yiyi, what happened? Is something wrong? Nothing, I just miss you. She heard her granddaughter say this, and the olddyughed over the phone, Youre finally on vacation, can you bear to leave your husband behind? So, if I go to stay with you, grandma, will you be happy? Mo Weiyi inly acted spoilt. The olddyughed even brighter, If Yiyi can apany me, of course Ill be happy. Mo Weiyi burst into augh immediately, Then Ill go over to apany you tomorrow. Alright. The olddy lives outside the southern ring road of Nancheng, which is considered a quiet and elegant suburb, but also rtively remote. Mo Weiyi thought it would be better to live with her grandmother in the countryside rather than having a cold war with him at home every day. Anyway, she was on vacation now. Su Wanwan, that girl, is probably going to be busy all day, and she didnt have time to apany her either. However, despite all the ns, when she came out after taking a shower at night, she found the man sitting on the sofa in the bedroom with aptop on his knee. Wearing in sses, he looked as rxed as ever. Mo Weiyi frowned her delicate eyebrows, This is my room, why did youe in without telling me? Xiao Yebai looked at her, his tone cool and calm, Your room? Yes, Ive given you the master bedroom. Ive been staying in the second bedroom these days. Why? The mans tone remained calm. Why? Mo Weiyi clutched her hand, Well, I thought I made myself very clear that day. That day? Xiao Yebai slowly put theptop back on the coffee table, pushed his sses, and elegantly looked at her, Are you talking about, not wanting me to touch you again? Mo Weiyi raised her chin, Correct.
    Heh. Xiao Yebai stood up and slowly walked towards her. Mo Weiyi subconsciously raised her arms and crossed them together. Though she appeared stylishly cold, the real reason was that she hadnt worn a bra under her nightgown as she just came out of the shower. And her nightgown was quite thin. So. The man looked down at her from a higher position, his voice deep and straightforward, You want topletely separate from me?
    If you want to think so, then yes. Mo Weiyi didnt back down. Xiao Yebais ck eyes narrowed, and his thin lips uttered two words, Reason. Xiao Yebai, are you stupid, or do you have a bad memory? Mo Weiyi couldnt help but mock him. Seeing the chill sh across his handsome face at her words, she unexpectedly felt a perverse sense of satisfaction. She said word by word, Alright, since thats the case, let me say it again. I suddenly realized that my love for the past ten years has all been in vain. So, I dont want to continue with you, Xiao Yebai, were done! Do you understand now? Liar. The man suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, Mo Weiyi, youre lying. Let go of me! Mo Weiyi winced in pain. This damn man has been getting more and more violent towards hertely. Her tender chin hurt like hell. Being a man, he was naturally strong. Not long after he arrived at the Xiao family, Mo Yaoxiong arranged for someone to train him in fighting. So his notion of not using much force caused Mo Weiyi pain as if her bones were about to be crushed. Mo Weiyi. Xiao Yebai stared at those clear-cut eyes from close range, his voice was so low that it was almost ghostly, You really dont want to continue with me? You want to end things with me? Yes! Mo Weiyi, having a rebellious nature, replied quickly. Alright. Xiao Yebais eyes were pitch ck and cold, as if they were bottomless, almost swallowing her up.
    Then. His voice was cold, Call grandfather now. Hearing his words, Mo Weiyi didnt understand for a moment, Say what? Xiao Yebai curled his thin lips coldly, that arc was too frosty with a clear mock and sarcasm in his eyes. He said, Say that you no longer want to continue with me, say that you want to divorce me. After the divorce, I will resign from the Mo Family and leave. The moment Xiao Yebais words were released, Mo Weiyi felt like her heart was fiercely clutched. She had no idea that this man could be so ruthless. Divorce? Resign? Leave the Mo family? These phrases were like des slicing through her heart, slicing over and over again, so painful that she couldnt take it. Along with the pain, tears flooded her eyes until she couldnt help herself. Then, the tears began rolling down her face like a string of pearls that has been cut. In her blurred vision, Xiao Yebais voice slowly cut in, Why are you crying?
    Chapter 509: Do you want to leave the Mo Family, 509? Chapter 509: Do you want to leave the Mo Family, 509? Through a blurred vision, Xiao Yebais voice rose again, slow and steady, What are you crying for? Mo Weiyi bit her lips, remaining silent. The man raised his finger and gently wiped it under her eyelids, cleaning away her tears, one by one. Im asking you a question, Weiyi. What are you crying for? Mo Weiyi still did not speak. Xiao Yebai grasped her face with both hands, lifting it upwards, Dont cry. Mo Weiyi looked at him, tears falling heavily from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks andnding on his fingertips. Hot and heavy. Silent weeping, like pear blossoms in the rain, most lethal. What on earth do you want me to do? The mans tone turned helpless.
    In memory, this was the second time Mo Weiyi cried so heartrendingly. The first was when Xu Xian left. Weiyi, why are you crying? Tell me, okay? Saying this, Xiao Yebai took her into his embrace. His warm and familiar hold seemed to cause Mo Weiyis breakdown to further intensify. She lowered her head, her face buried deep in his chest, her arms wrapped tight around him, her whole body trembling as she cried. Dont know how long it took, she finally seemed to have cried enough and moved away from him. Are you going to divorce me? Mo Weiyi stared at him, her voice hoarse from crying, Are you going to leave the Mo Family? Its not me. Xiao Yebai squinted, appearing to scrutinize, but his tone was still calm, Its you. The decision-making power for all of this lies with you. With me? Mo Weiyi repeated, stunned. Initially, you stormed into my room, onto my bed andid im on me, wanting to marry me. Thats why I married into the Mo Family, became the CEO of the Mo Family, and have everything I have today. Now all it takes is one word from you, and Ill lose everything immediately, do you understand? Xiao Yebai spoke seriously. There was no hint of self-mockery. Mo Weiyis white teeth bit hard onto her lip and her fingers clenched tightly. She wanted to say that she did all those things before because she loved him and wanted to be with him, and it was never because of anything else. As for all that he has now, he obtained them through his own capabilities. Why does he have to say that its all because of her? Just because she took a liking to him, he had everything, and now, just because she doesnt want them anymore, can he instantly be penniless? Is this how he sees her? Whats detestable is that she couldnt be as ruthless as him Take your time to consider. I wont pressure you. After saying this, Xiao Yebai turned and left.
    His figure was upright, cold, and proud. In his solitude, there was a trace of ruthlessness. Mo Weiyi stood there nkly, unable to snap back to reality for a long time. ** That night.
    There were two nkets on therge bed, the heating was on, Aunt Zhou went to bed early and quickly fell asleep. Mo Weiyi, however, tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When she finally did fall asleep, she started having nightmares non-stop. Once, it was about Xiao Yebai divorcing her. Next, it was about Xiao Yebai returning to Tongcheng. Then, it was about Xiao Yebai and Tian Ye being together. There was also one where Xiao Yebai was baking scolded by the older shareholders in the board meeting. The final scene was when Xiao Yebai went abroad, she chased the car, running non-stop While it was around four or five in the morning, Mo Weiyi atst fell into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up, it was due to her phone ringing. Picking up the phone, Su Wanwans energetic voice was heard, Weiyi, what are you doing? What happened? Hearing Mo Weiyis obviously sleepy voice, Su Wanwan clicked her tongue, Wow, its already afternoon and youre still sleeping. Tell me, what were you doingst night? Were you and Mr. Xiao he-he-he
    Su Wanwan rarely teased about such matters, Mo Weiyi didnt join in the joking, but instead felt gloomy. Shey in bed, watching the sunlight filter in through the gap in the curtains. Her voice sounded distant as she said, Wanwan, I dont know what to do. What happened? What do you mean what to do? Mo Weiyi then recounted the conversation she had with her husband the day before. Damn, did Xiao Yebai really say that? Yes. Hes a scum! Thats right, you were the one who liked him, chased him, initiated intimacy with him, and then told your grandpa that you have been had. But he agreed to the marriage himself, didnt he? Since you are now married, he should regard you as his wife. Moreover, you have been so good to him all these years. No matter how cold he was to you, you were always there for him! This scum, doesnt he have a heart? Or is his heart icy? Now he even dares to say such things? I feel hes nothing more than an ungrateful wretch! After Su Wanwan tiraded for a long while, her tone shifted, Why doesnt he care at all about the position of the CEO of the Mo Family? Mo Weiyi didnt say a word. Does Xiao Yebai simply not care about the position of the Mo Familys CEO? He doesnt seem to care about anything, including her, his own wife. He made it very clear yesterday; one word from her, and he will abandon everything immediately and be free of her. With his abilities, building another business empire would be a piece of cake for him, possibly only taking a few years.
    Maybe thats where his confidencees from? Indeed, in love, the one who falls first is always the most deste. Su Wanwan sighed deeply, Weiyi, it seems that he really doesnt love you. Mo Weiyi: Reminded of the reality, she felt like tearing up again. Chapter 510: 510, wasting emotions Chapter 510: 510, wasting emotions I told you before, having a crush on a cool guy like Xiao Yebai is nothing but self-inflicted torture! Why do you have to like him? There are plenty of good-looking guys in Nancheng, cant you find one better-looking than him? No, I cant. Su Wanwan waspletely speechless: After a while, she said again, With your qualities, what type of guy cant you get? Do you have to hang yourself on this worthless tree? Ever since you met Xiao Yebai, when have you not been horribly hurt by him? And he keeps living carefree? Do you really think its worth it? Do you enjoy being tormented? Anyway, my principle of life is: never let myself be wronged! In this world, I am the greatest! If anyone makes me unhappy, I can make them even more unhappy! So I suggest, as long as you are still infatuated with Xiao Yebai and cant live without him, then continue to be with him. Enjoy the show, and when you find a man you like more, then kick him out. Let him cry without a ce to cry. This time it was Mo Weiyis turn to be speechless: Weiyi, you are my friend, I hope you live happily. No matter what decision you make, I will always support you unconditionally. Wanwan. Mo Weiyi was somewhat touched, Why arent you a man?
    Dont disgust me. Su Wanwan shivered, Okay, Im at the airport. I have to go. What are you doing at the airport? My husband ising home today, and he insists that I pick him up at the airport. Its really bothersome. Mo Weiyi again: Intentionally provoking her! A woman who has not only been heartbroken but may also be facing a divorce! Wanwan, Ive decided to go to the countryside and stay with my grandma for a few days, what do you think? Thats a good idea. Go and clear your mind, and breathe some fresh air. Maybe it will help you figure things out. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi got up. It was past two in the afternoon, and because it was a vacation, Aunt Zhou had not woken her up. After taking a bath, Mo Weiyi put on a light-weight outfit and went downstairs. Princess, youre up. Would you like to eat something first? Aunt Zhou, just make me something simple to eat. Then, can you help me pack up the suitcase from yesterday? Ah? Aunt Zhou looked surprised at Little Princesss ever-changing mind, Princess, didnt the vacation already start? I want to go to the countryside and live with my grandma for a few days. Oh. Aunt Zhou nodded nkly. She could now say for sure that this young couple had a serious argument. Last night she had slept with the Little Princess, and now the princess wanted to go to the countryside and live with her grandmother. **
    By the time Mo Weiyi took a car to the southern countryside, Su Wanwan had already arrived at Nancheng International Airport. She had driven her little red car to the airport. She arrived at the exclusive arrival gate for the London flight just as passengers were tricking out. Su Wanwan wore a bright yellow short down jacket, jeans, slim straight legs wearing mid-length snow boots, and a pink hat on her head.
    Her seaweed-like long, ck, voluminous hair framed her small, delicate, fresh-looking face. Her dainty and delicate featuresbined with a blend of beauty and innocence made her look exceptionally youthful and radiant, attracting the attention of passersby. She stood by the railing, each time she spotted a tall male figure she would immediately look over. But then, seeing that it wasnt Huo Jingshen, her brows would furrow. This went on one after another, until there were no more passengersing out. The crowd of people weing passengers by her side had changed several times before Su Wanwan felt something was wrong. She wanted to take out her phone to make a call, but realized she did not have it on her. Oh shoot! It appeared that after she had spoken with Mo Weiyi, she casually tossed her phone onto the dashboard, and then when she got out of the car she forgot to take it! ** At the VIP exclusive passage, Huo Jingshen stood there in a ck coat. Wearing a deep coffee-colored cashmere sweater and straight ck trousers underneath. In one clear-cut hand, he held his phone while the other was holding his suitcase. He was close to 1.9 meters tall, standing tall and straight. Around him were many western men, yet they didnt outshine him at all. He exuded an oriental mans restraint and elegance, not showing any signs of fatigue from the long journey. However After making several calls, the mans eyebrows were furrowed deeply. This girl.
    Didnt she say she was going to pick him up at the airport? He made more than a dozen calls but nobody answered. It turned out he cant rely on her to show concern for her husband. Shes probably having too much fun during the holiday, she probably ran off somewhere to y. Forget it. Huo Jingshen put down his phone and walked towards the airport exit. ** The sky outside the airport was gradually darkening. Su Wanwan went back to her car, picked up her phone, and saw that Huo Jingshen had called several times. She quickly called back. Listening to the beep sounding from the other end of the phone, and seeing the hurried passengersing and going outside the car window, Su Wanwan felt like a pig! The flightnded two hours ago, he should have gone home, right? If she had known, she wouldnt have kindlye to pick him up. It was a total waste of feelings, time, and gas money! Nobody answered the phone.
    Su Wanwan hung up the phone, just as she started the car to leave, a call from Zhao Qianqian came in. Wanwan, what are you doing at home? Nothing, why? Teacher Di said he wanted to find a few local students from Nancheng to intern at the TV station, are you interested? Chapter 511: 511, seize the opportunity Chapter 511: 511, seize the opportunity Television Station? Yeah, this opportunity is rare. If you do well, you dont have to worry about the internship next year. If your performance is good, you might even be offered a permanent position. Zhao Qianqian is a local in Nancheng, and her lively, cheerful character makes her well-suited for work at a television station. But Su Wanwan wasnt particrly interested. The New Years holiday has lost its charm. Are you really not considering this opportunity any further? And we have Mr. Dis support so that certificate of internship and graduate thesis will be taken care of. Im the first one to tell you about this. He only needs three people. If you dont go, someone else will take this opportunity. Girl, please consider it seriously, dont miss it! Su Wanwan thought for a moment, Alright then. The holidaysts a month. Apart from the New Years days, every day at home was well, kind of dull. Great then, Im putting your name down. Ill contact you soon. Okay. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan called Huo Jingshen.
    This time he finally answered, but before Su Wanwan could say anything, she heard a sweet female voice, Hello. Whos this? Su Wanwan frowned, Why are you answering my husbands phone? The girl on the phone seemed surprised by her question, then the sweet voice replied, Im Fu Qi, Brother Jingshen is taking a shower. I thought it might be urgent, so I answered his phone. Do you need me to pass any message? My husband doesnt need you to pass any messages! Goodbye! Having said that, Su Wanwan hung up the phone. This damn bastard! She had driven all the way to the airport and waited for a long time. He didnt bother to tell her he had gone home early, and even took Fu Qi home. He even let Fu Qi answer his phone while he was taking a bath? Ahh mmp she was so angry! So, when she was driving in the city center, Ye Qitian suddenly called. Su Wanwan answered furiously, What is it! Junior sister, youve finished your final exams, right? What do you want! Youre heartless. Its been so long since west met, and youre still so hostile to me Stop beating around the bush! Speak up, or Ill hang up! Ye Qitian hurriedly said, Im getting on a flight back to Los Angeles tomorrow. Do you want to see me before I leave? Address? Huh? He didnt expect her to agree so readily and was taken aback. Stop talking nonsense, give me the address. Ille right now. Okay, Jiuli Clubhouse, near the entertainment area. Ill send you the location. Okay.
    Su Wanwan hung up the phone, turned on the GPS navigation, and headed directly to the clubhouse. ** Tianquan Royal Court Vi. After the call was hung up, Fu Qi immediately returned to the living room.
    Just as she put the phone back on the coffee table, she heard a childish voice, Aunt Fu Qi, why did you answer Uncle Huos phone? Fu Qi looked up at the little guy. Fu Ziyang had juste down from upstairs. His big, clear eyes were staring at her, a serious expression on his little chubby face. Although he was only five years old, being cross-examined by him still made her feel a bit guilty. Fu Qi said softly, It was your aunt who called. I was afraid it was urgent, so I answered it. She thought her exnation was clear enough, but to her surprise Uncle Huo doesnt like others touching his things. Fu Ziyang said clearly. Being med by a five-year-old child, Fu Qis face turned slightly red, Ziyang, its been a few months since youve seen Auntie. Are you not close to Auntie anymore? Fu Ziyang pursed his small mouth, changing the subject, Auntie, why hasnt dade to see me? Your dad is hospitalized. Is my dad sick? His normally calm little face was immediately filled with concern. Yes, your dad was Fu Qi. A somewhat stern male voice interrupted her, and Fu Qi immediately closed her mouth, a nervous look on her face.
    Huo Jingshen came out of the study. When he reached the coffee table, he nced at the phone, picked it up, then looked at Fu Qi, Come to the study with me. Oh. Fu Qi, feeling anxious deep down, hurriedly got up and followed him. ** The room lit up. The study was decorated in ck, white, and gray hues, consistent with the style of the entire vi. Two walls were lined with bookshelves full of various books. A few simple famous paintings hung on the wall, reflecting the taste of the owner. Fu Qi. Fu Qi was brought back from her thoughts and looked at the man sitting behind the desk. Brother Jingshen, what do you want to talk about? Huo Jingshen put down his phone and looked at her with narrowed eyes, You answered my phone just now. Fu Qi nodded, having already prepared her exnation. It was my sister-inw who called. She called twice in a row. I didnt want to disturb you, but I was also afraid it might be urgent, so I answered it. Brother Jingshen, you wont me me, will you? Dont touch my phone again in the future. Brother Jingshen, I was just trying to help.
    Huo Jingshen gazed at her tly, Your brother is seriously injured, the political situation in Y Country is somewhat unstable, so I brought you back and agreed to take care of you. But thats it. Okay. And, Huo Jingshens cold voice rang again, dont tell Ziyang about Xihan being shot and hospitalized. Hes still just a child. Oh, I forgot about that just now. Brother Jingshen, I was wrong. Chapter 512: 512, the old man is too cunning! Chapter 512: 512, the old man is too cunning! Fu Qi was humbly deferring, yet Huo Jingshens tone remained stern. Fu Qi, you are already twenty-two years old, there are some things, I believe I do not need to repeat them. You are Ziyangs aunt, for his sake, you should know what to say and what not to say. Fu Qi could only continue to nod, Okay, Ive got it. A servant will take you to the vi next doorter. The vi next door? Fu Qi quickly asked, Why? Its not convenient staying here. But Im scared, I dare not live there alone. Huo Jingshen said, There will be servants there, and Ziyang can also live with you. Brother Jingshen. Fu Qi pouted her small mouth, looking at him pitifully, Cant I live with you and my sister-inw? The New Year is in half a month, do you want Ziyang and I to be alone
    Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids. Fu Qis remaining words got stuck in her throat. ** After returning to the living room, Huo Jingshen ordered the servants to handle the matters before he picked up the car keys and left. When he got in the car, he redialed Su Wanwans mobile number. Sorry, but the number you dialed has been turned off. Switched off? Huo Jingshens eyebrows furrowed. It was already eight or nine oclock in the evening. Where did this girl go? After thinking for a bit, he dialed Mo Weiyis number. Mr. Huo? Is Wanwan with you? No, Im in the countryside south of the city. In the countryside? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Didnt she contact you today? She called me in the afternoon, and said she was going to pick you up at the airport. You guys had a fight? Huo Jingshen didnt want to borate, If she contacts you again, tell her to call me immediately. Okay.
    Hanging up the phone, Huo Jingshen was considering whether or not to call a few female ssmates he had dined withst time, when his phone suddenly rang. Ye Qitian? Huo Jingshen instantly picked up, and got straight to the point Wanwan is with you. Damn, you truly are Mr. Huo, youre right. Junior sister is with me, but she doesnt want me to tell you! Ye Qitian wasughing maliciously on the other end of the line.
    Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, slightly impatient, Address. I am Wanwans backup man. If you dare to bully her, I will be the first to support her. And, were both martial arts training alumni, weve both practiced Tae Kwon Do, Sanda, and boxing, be careful Ill beat you ck and blue! Finally, Ye Qitian concluded, Okay, nothing else, I just wanted to call and chew you out, I will personally send junior sister home after we finish drinking, bye. Dont let me say it a second time. Huo Jingshens tone was cold and low, Address. There was no sound on the other side of the phone, just as Huo Jingshen was about to speak again, the phone call was abruptly disconnected. ** Clubhouse. Ye Qitian hung up the phone, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, grinning like a cat whod gotten the cream. So youre a mature and steady old man, huh? Let me see you fret! Picturing the usually calm man hopping mad, he suddenly felt very satisfied. Snuffing out the cigarette, Ye Qitian exited the bathroom, and before he could return to the booth, his phone rang again.
    He originally thought it was Huo Jingshen calling back, but it turned out to be Mingzhu. In this world, Ye Qitian used to be afraid of only two women. One was his mother, Ming Zhen, and the other was his junior sister, Su Wanwan. Ever since he came to Nancheng, there began to be a third woman whom he feared, and that was his aunt, Mingzhu. He immediately answered, Auntie, why are you calling me sote A wave of roaring entered his eardrums: You little brat, where are you drinking with Wanwan? Give me your location immediately! If you dare to goof around, tomorrow I will call your parents, and youll never be able to return to Nancheng, do you hear me! Hurry up and tell me your location! Ye Qitian made a bitter face, Auntie, you Enough with your nonsense! Jiuli Clubhouse. He barely got the words out before the call disconnected. It was done for, that old man was too cunning! He must have called Mingzhu directly! Ye Qitian felt a cold chill run down his back, and he quickly jogged back to the booth. Pushing open the door, he was hit with the smell of alcohol, Su Wanwan was sitting on the couch, drinking from a bottle of beer. Seeing the alcohol bottles scattered haphazardly on the coffee table, Ye Qitian grew even more bitter, eximing, Junior sister, why are you still drinking? Stop already!
    The old man was going to be here soon! But who knew, just as he reached out, Su Wanwan threw the beer bottle away. A ng sounded as it hit the table, then fell to the carpet. Then she picked up a new bottle, which was quickly snatched away by Ye Qitian. You cant drink any more! His movements swift, he quickly collected all the bottles. It wasnt that he was afraid of Huo Jingshen, but Mingzhu. This aunt was just like a tigress, he wondered how his uncle could put up with her all these years? Su Wanwan red at him, What are you doing? I havent had enough! You cant drink anymore because Im out of money. Ye Qitian had barely finished speaking when the door to the booth opened, and a waiter walked in with a tray, on top of it were two cocktails. You just said you didnt have money! Su Wanwan red at him even more sternly, Stingy! Ye Qitian was stumped: His head throbbed.
    Did he order a cocktail just now? He hadpletely forgotten! The waiter set down the drinks, Blue Subus, please enjoy. Su Wanwan directly picked up one of the sses. Watching her finish the drink, the waiter finally turned to leave. Once outside, round a bend in the corridor, there stood a woman in a low-cut dress in a corner. Chapter 513: 513, will I, Su Wanwan, get drunk? Chapter 513: 513, will I, Su Wanwan, get drunk? After stepping outside and around a corner in the hallway, a sizzling woman was standing in a low V-neck sling dress. The drinks have been delivered. Have they drunk all the alcohol? Dont worry. I saw the chick drink it with my own eyes. Did the man drink? I didnt dare stick around, if I stayed too long Id raise suspicion, you can rest assured Before she could finish, she was interrupted, You idiot! How do you handle things! The man is definitely going to drink. Even if he doesnt, do you think he can resist after the girl has been drugged? A man and a woman alone in a room drinking, isnt pure in intention to begin with, let alone the fact that the drug can turn any pure and chaste woman into ascivious harlot! You can rest assured. The waitress seemed to grow more and more pleased with herself as she spoke, clearly experienced and confident in what she was doing. Hearing this, the woman was slightly relieved. She quickly took out her phone and made a transfer, The money has been sent to you. The waitress swiftly checked her phone, unable to contain her delight at the receipt of 50,000 RMB.
    Helping to send two love-potionced drinks and earning 50,000, what a windfall from heaven! Alright, I have to get back to work now. You can find me if you need anything in the future. The woman, losing patience, waved her off. After the waitress left, she slowly made her way over, arms folded, her eyes on the closed door of the private room. Although she couldnt see what was happening inside, thinking of what was about to transpire brought a smug smile to her face. He-he. Huo Familys eldest daughter-inw from Nancheng, the richest ce in town, was having a secret meeting with a fresh meat from the entertainment circle at a bar and couldnt wait to perform a bedroom drama in the private room before long! When the timees, I wonder if the Huo Family could still amodate their daughter-inw, Su Wanwan? * * In the private room. Su Wanwan licked her lips, looking at the ss of Subus in front of Ye Qitian, Arent you going to drink? Give it to me, I want it! Ye Qitian irritably pushed the ss towards her, This is thest one. Youre not allowed to drink anymore when you finish. Su Wanwanpletely ignored him, raised her ss, and once again downed it in one go. Putting down her ss, she squinted her beautiful eyes in satisfaction. Delicious! It felt like a long, long time since she had had such a wild drinking spree! Since marrying that old man, he had been controlling her every day, never allowing her to drink outside, even preventing her from having a little booze to add to the fun during dinner at home. He really was a mood-killing stick-in-the-mud!
    Junior sister, I gotta go. Ye Qitian suddenly said. Su Wanwan frowned, Where to? Running for my life. What?
    Uhuh.uh. Ye Qitian shrunk back. He had already given Mingzhu Clubs address on the phone, hes guessing Huo Jingshen, that old man, would being for him soon. Will he me all of his junior sisters drinking on him? Will he make things difficult for him from time to time? You are a traitor! Ye Qitians heart skipped a beat at that, hastening to deny, No, Im not. I didnt. You have to stop talking nonsense. You ARE a traitor! Su Wanwan continued to use, You arent drinking with me and want to run off. If youre not a traitor, then what are you! Ye Qitian: So she was talking about that His poor heart! He was so frightened, suspecting that his junior sister knew he had leaked information. Drink with me, Im in a bad mood today! Su Wanwan said, reaching for two bottles of red wine from under the coffee table. Which was where Ye Qitian had just put them away.
    Junior sister, you cant drink anymore, youre going to get drunk. Ye Qitian hurried to stop her. Are you joking? Su Wanwan getting drunk? Su Wanwan red at him. Ye Qitian: Chapter 514: 514, force feed him a mouthful of dog food Chapter 514: 514, force feed him a mouthful of dog food True enough, her junior sister has a unique talent for drinking. She could hold her liquor incredibly well. During their long acquaintance, Ye Qitian had never seen her drunk before, but Junior Sister, if you drink any more, Ill leave by myself! You go! Ye Qitian: Damn. This junior sister of his was impervious to reason and immune to weapons. Looking at the time again, half an hour had passed since he made that call. The old man would be here soon. But Su Wanwan had already disregarded everything and started drinking again. Ye Qitian was on pins and needles. Was there still time for him to escape?
    But his junior sister seemed to have drunk too much. If he just left like that, and she was left here by herself, being as beautiful as she was, would she be in any danger? What to do? Ye Qitian was torn, looking around the room, he noticed that it had a built-in restroom. He hurriedly grabbed his coat and car keys and darted into the toilet. Of course, he left the door slightly ajar. It seemed that Su Wanwan had not noticed at all. She sat there, continuing to drink and drink Meanwhile, at the door of the private room, Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow and walked over. The woman turned in surprise. Why was Huo Jingshen here at this hour? But She checked the time, half an hour had passed. The effect of the drug should have taken hold. Seeing his own wife doing that kind of thing with another man in a private room would definitely be quite a thrill, right? * * Huo Jingshen arrived at the private room and walked in without hesitation. He was still wearing the clothes he wore at the airport. He looked extraordinarily handsome yet deadly, exuding an icy aura. Upon reaching her, he reached out and grabbed Su Wanwans arm. Startled, Su Wanwan immediately began to struggle as soon as she recognized the man, Scumbag, dont touch me! Ye Qitian, hiding in the toilet, peeked out through the crack in the door.
    Seeing Su Wanwan being almost roughly handled by Huo Jingshen, he almost couldnt bear it and wanted to rush out, but then he saw Huo Jingshen lower his head. The woman let out a strange groan. Realizing what the two were doing, Ye Qitians mind went nk. Damn!
    He was forced to witness their public disy of affection! His favourite woman was being forcibly kissed by the man he hated most! And he couldnt do anything! Maddening! Torn! He gripped the door tightly, undergoing a mental breakdown, when Had enough? Ye Qitian was startled. Does the toilet smell that good? Ye Qitian was bbergasted. Damn! How did this old man find out he was hiding in the toilet? Does he have X-ray vision?
    Why would he still do that to the junior sister after finding out? Damn it! Hes clearly doing this on purpose! Arent youing out? Huo Jingshen looked over coldly. Ye Qitian: With no choice, he had toe out of the restroom. Either Su Wanwan was drunk, or she had been kissed unconscious. At this moment, she was leaning against the man, half-closed eyes, and her face was flushed. Just as Ye Qitian nced at her, the mans stern voice sounded again, Did you feed her the alcohol? No, no. Ye Qitian hurriedly denied it, waving his hands, When I went to call you, Junior Sister started drinking by herself. I swear, I barely drank at all, all the alcohol I ordered was finished by her. Hmm. Really, I was worried that if I left, Junior Sister would be in danger alone here, so I hid in the toilet hahaha. Seeing that the mans expression was rtively calm, Ye Qitian immediately took out his phone and pretended to check the time, Oh, I have to catch a flight back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning. Since youre here, Huo, Ill leave Junior Sister in your care. Ill go first, bye. Without waiting for Huo Jingshens response, he turned around and ran off.
    Because he ran too fast, he almost collided with the woman outside. Yi Qitian was startled, Damn! That scared me! Are you a ghost? What are you doing standing here? The woman lowered her head and quickly turned her body away as well. Seeing that she didnt say anything, Ye Qitian felt a bit awkward and quickly left. It wasnt until he was out of sight that she turned back to look at the private room. After a long while, she saw Huo Jingshen carrying the woman out of the room. She stood there, her fingers clenched tightly together. Clearly, her n had failed. * * Tianquan Royal Court vi. All the way home, Su Wanwan was sitting in the front passenger seat, tilting her flushed face, sleeping soundly it seemed. However, when they got home, and after parking the car, Huo Jingshen walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and was about to unfasten her seatbelt. Suddenly, Su Wanwan woke up and stared at him with her phoenix eyes wide open.
    Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when a crisp sound echoed. A small pnded on the handsome face of the man. Scumbag! Su Wanwan cursed. Huo Jingshen: Rage quickly gathered in his dark eyes. He bent down to look into her clear phoenix eyes, his voice low and dangerous, Are you asking for a spanking? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes. Perhaps because the man was too close, his slender eyes were deep and beautiful, alluring. She suddenly felt dizzy, her mouth dry, and even swallowed her saliva. Then she pushed him hard, Scumbag! Stay away from me! Being so close, did he think he is very handsome?! Chapter 515: 515, where is your mistress? Chapter 515: 515, where is your mistress? Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen lifted her from the car seat around her waist, brought up his long leg to kick the car door shut. Ah ah ah ah let me go, cheater, bastard, dont touch me! Huo Jingshen didnt say a word, carried her out of the garage, into the vi, and up to the second floor. Since it was the winter vacation, Fu Ziyang followed Fu Qi to the vi next door. All the servants had been transferred there. The entire vi was eerily quiet, filled only with the sound of footsteps and a womans incessant cursing. Once they reached the bedroom, Huo Jingshen dropped the drunken woman. Ah! Su Wanwan let out a scream, theny there without a sound. Huo Jingshen was initially in a terrible mood, but seeing this, his heart skipped a beat. He hurried over to turn her around. Seeing Su Wanwan covering her head, her delicate eyebrows knit tightly together His face darkened further, letting go of his hand, Didnt I say, you are not allowed to drink alone with another man
    It hurts Baby, where does it hurt? He asked, even he himself felt he was out of character. She really is too much! Su Wanwan opened her eyes, their eyes locked for a few seconds, then she asked, Wheres your mistress? What mistress? Huo Jingshens brow furrowed. Liar, you cant fool me! Su Wanwan eximed, You went to the United Kingdom to see Fu Qi, didnt you? And brought her back, answered your phone, said you were taking a bath! Did you guys take a bath together? Huo Jingshen, instead of answering, countered with, Since you went to the airport, why didnt you answer my calls? Su Wanwan looked at him, her phoenix eyes filled with sparkling emotion, and fell silent. Huo Jingshen raised his head, stroked her messy hair, his tone slightly softened, I called you almost ten times, and no one answered. I thought you didnt go to the airport and came back first. There was a minor emergency at thepany at the time, when you called, Fu Qi just Su Wanwan didnt hear what he was saying. She felt that something was amiss, her head felt giddy as everything in her field of vision was spinning. Her limbs were somewhat hot. That shouldnt be, she had a high tolerance, even though she had quite a bit of alcohol earlier, with her level, she shouldnt get intoxicated so easily. Hisrge hand rapidly helped her remove those restraints, then he pulled the nket over her. Huo Jingshen said, Be good, I will make you some tea. With all the alcohol she consumed, without some sobriety tea, she would only have a hangover headache the next day. It was unclear if she understood or not, but Su Wanwan closed her eyes, tossing and turning restlessly on the pillow. Huo Jingshen nced at her, then reluctantly left. *
    * * Heading to the kitchen downstairs, he had only begun to gather the ingredients when he heard a noise outside. Coming out to check, he was almost scared out of his wits.
    Su Wanwan had actually run downstairs. Fortunately, there was no one else in the vi. Huo Jingshen walked over, his handsome face clouded and was just about to lose his temper when Su Wanwan clung to him willingly. Why did youe down? His tone was filled with resignation. Huo Jingshen found that he could not bring himself to get angry. Its so hotII feel ufortable she clingily acted spoiled. Huo Jingshen reached out to touch her face, it was indeed feverish. And the heat was somewhat abnormal. Huo Jingshens mind gradually cooled down. With one hand restraining her to prevent her from moving around, the other hand pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed Ye Qitians number. After two rings it was disconnected. Clearly, the kid chickened out, he didnt dare to answer his call.
    Huo Jingshen wasnt in a hurry, if he got disconnected, he would just call again, nonstop. Finally, after calling a dozen times, the call connected. Huo Jingshens voice was cold when he questioned, What the hell did you let my sister-inw drink? I didnt, didnt I say, she drank on her own, I didnt even have a chance to drink the wine I ordered. Howe, did little sister-inw get drunk? Ye Qitian burst outughing, She must have drunk too much when I went to the restroom to make a call, bragging about being able to handle a thousand cups, hrious hahaha The call was disconnected. Ye Qitian looked at his phone on the other end, his face full of shock. Touching his heart, cold sweat ran down his back. My god, he thought he was safe returning home, didnt expect to get a call in the middle of the night. It was downright terrifying. He originally wanted to pretend to sleep and not answer, but the old man just kept calling and calling Fortunately, he managed to fool him. Ye Qitian smirked and immediately turned off his phone, got into bed, and went to sleep. * *
    In the living room. Huo Jingshen carried Su Wanwan back to the kitchen. He quickly prepared a cup of sobering tea, let it cool, and then brought the cup to her lips. Open your mouth. Su Wanwan opened her bleary eyes, looked at the small cup in front of her, reached out and pushed it away. The sobering tea all sshed onto Huo Jingshens clothes. Behave. Huo Jingshen quickly brought another cup over. Su Wanwan immediately turned her head away, Dont want to Behave, if you dont drink, you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. Huo Jingshen gently coaxed. It seemed Su Wanwan understood, obediently turning her face back to him. Chapter 516: 516, dead scumbag! Chapter 516: 516, dead scumbag! Huo Jingshen smoothly brought the small bowl to her mouth, pinching her chin and pouring it all in. As a result Cough cough cough! Su Wanwan was choked, even her tears started to flow out. Huo Jingshen put the bowl down and grabbed a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth. The girls face was already beet red. He knew that in some clubs and bars, certain necessities were provided to meet the guests needs. However, when he went there earlier, he was in such a hurry to find her that he didnt notice anything unusual. Now it seems, Su Wanwan must have been drugged. Because her reactions were all too abnormal.
    Just as he was about to take her upstairs, his phone rang again. This annoying kid still dares to call? As he looked at the iing call disy The mans brow furrowed and with some annoyance picked up the call. Whats up? Big brother, what are you doing right now? If theres nothing, Im hanging up. Dont, theres a party in a couple of days. Would you like to bring your sister-inw as well? said Chu Xiuhuang in a casual tone. School is on break right now, isnt it? Take her along to hang out. I will also bring Little Huanhuan, so we can all have a st Hearing the vulgar tone in his voice, Huo Jingshens face suddenly hardened, Have fun by yourself, dont bother including me. Dont, its nice to change the scene a bit. Its so boring always being home, right? I have more experience in this matter, right? Suddenly, Su Wanwan spoke, Husband, I wantbelchwater! Huo Jingshen was stunned. Chu Xiuhuang on the other side of the phone was also stunned. His phone was right next to his ear and Su Wanwan was in his arms, so her loud voice could be clearly heard over the phone. Therefore Hah! After a brief moment of shock, Chu Xiuhuang burst outughing, Damn! Your little girl is so passionate in private? No wonder youve turned into a homebody after getting married. Alright then, since your wife is calling for you, I wont bother you as a friend. I will call you some other day. Bye. After that, he hung up the phone. Huo Jingshen: Putting down his phone, he stood tall and upright in the bright open kitchen, squinting his deep ck eyes, his expression indecipherable.
    Until Su Wanwan lifted her head, and cried out in a fragile, helpless voice, Husband Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. They were indeed a legally married couple. Recently, the little girl had been staying at school studying for exams and they had barely had any opportunity to see each other. He himself had been out of the country for an entire week.
    At this moment, it was a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder. The right time, the right ce, and the right people Following a night of chaos When Su Wanwan awoke the next day, the first thing she felt was Her head was in so much pain! After easing for a while, her mind gradually cleared up. Then, she struggled to fully open her eyes. Did she get drunk yesterday? Baby, youre awake? Hearing his voice, Su Wanwan was instantly furious, You scoundrel, what did you do to me?
    You forgot, baby? Su Wanwan red at him angrily. She had indeedpletely forgotten. That kind of drug made the user delirious and even caused short-term memory loss. However, Su Wanwan was already losing her temper. She grieved at the injustice in her heart. You rat, you tricked me and took advantage of me while I was vulnerable. Youre not human! You bullied me! After she finished speaking, she covered her eyes with her hands and started sobbing. Huo Jingshen: The entire room was filled with her sobs, as if she were being excessively aggrieved. Stop crying. Well, she wasnt pacified. As soon as he said that, Su Wanwan started to cry even more fiercely, her whole body trembling. Kindly, Huo Jingshen handed over a tissue, which she grabbed immediately. After wiping her eyes and blowing her nose, she tossed the tissue away, directly grabbed his arm and began to wipe away all her tears, snot, and drool on his clothes.
    Chapter 517: 517, poor bestie! Chapter 517: 517, poor bestie! The man with an obsession for cleanliness frowned in disgust, but didnt push her away. He let her cry her heart out for a while before he opened his thin lips and said, Have you finished crying yet? No! Im not done crying yet! Su Wanwan said as she pushed him away and buried her face into the pillow to continue sobbing uncontrobly. Huo Jingshen: This little girl. Shes acting as if she was bullied by him well, he did indeed take advantage of her vulnerabilityst night. After a while, seeing Su Wanwan was still crying non-stop, the man got up and walked away. The sound of his footsteps faded, catching Su Wanwans attention. She lifted her head, only to see him entering the bathroom, which made her sob even louder. Just the day before, she had been using Xiao Yebai of being a rogue, and now, the same thing had happened to her. Why was her life so tragic? She and Mo Weiyi were a pair of tragic besties! Su Wanwan, lying there, was sobbing so hard it felt like her heart was breaking. After a while, she was suddenly lifted up, and something warm was pressed under her eyes. Huo Jingshen held her and gently wiped her fragile eyelids with a warm towel, soothing her as he exined, Last night, you were drugged, so I touched you. Su Wanwan blurted out, Liar! Why would I lie to you? Dont you remember what happened after yesterday? What happened after? Su Wanwan thought carefully. All she remembered was that during her drinking session, Huo Jingshen had suddenly arrived and swept her off her feet, bringing her home. The room was spinning, she felt dizzy and hot, and then she arrived home, and after that She couldnt remember anything at all. Ive told you countless times not to drink outside, Huo Jingshen said, his handsome face stern, and his voice suddenly became severe, If I hadnt arrived on timest night, do you know what you might have ended up doing? What could I have done? You could have picked up some homeless man to vent your frustration. Su Wanwan was stunned by these words. What the hell? A homeless man? And vent? Dont believe me? Huo Jingshen pointed to his neck, Last night, you initiated it, look at my neck Su Wanwan looked up. She almost questioned her entire existence. Did she do this? Huo Jingshens elegant and noble neck was covered in red marks, and there were even visible bite marks! Had she bitten him? Want to see further down? Su Wanwan instinctively looked down, only to be shocked at the sight. Su Wanwan turned red instantly. What the hell! Was she really that wildst night? Were these all her doing? Could that even be possible? Huo Jingshen patted her head affectionately, As long as you know your mistake and stop drinking outside from now on. Su Wanwan pped his hand away immediately, Knowing I was drugged, why couldnt you have taken me to a doctor? Was it necessary to to do that? Baby, only I can counteract that drug. Moreover How could he allow others to see his baby in such a provocative manner, not even a doctor! Moreover, what? Su Wanwan asked instinctively. Huo Jingshen gave a wicked smile, Moreover, its reallyforting to see you so proactive, do you understand? Su Wanwan: What the hell! Comforting, my ass! She gritted her teeth, So, who drugged me? However, Huo Jingshen said, Ive warned you not to cause trouble, youre always ready to fight Is it my fault? Su Wanwan argued back, Should I just take abuse lying down when others bully me? Anyway, you should never drink alone when Im not around, especially not drinks offered by others. Be careful. Seeing Su Wanwan still looking confused, his voice grew stern, Did you hear me? I heard you, I heard you! Su Wanwan answered impatiently, then suddenly turned the tables, Anyway, you were the one who wronged me yesterday, how can you me me? Huo Jingshen: Why did they loop back to that again? He had no choice but to exin, I came back to the UK this time because Xihan was shot, his injuries are severe. The situation over there is tense and unsafe, so Fu Qi returned with me. Chapter 518: 518, Huo Jingshen is my man! Chapter 518: 518, Huo Jingshen is my man! I had to exin, This time I returned to the United Kingdom because Xihan was shot and wounded severely. The situation there is unstable, not too safe, so Fu Qi returned to China with me. What do you mean? For a while, Fu Qi will stay in Nancheng. Seeing Su Wanwan about to explode, Huo Jingshen quickly added, She and Ziyang will be staying in the neighboring vi, they wont disturb us. Su Wanwan pouted. She wasnt an unreasonable person, and with his exnation, she felt a little bit better. But Thinking back about yesterdays incident, she couldnt help but start using him, I went to the airport to pick you up, waited for you for two whole hours. I tried calling, but couldnt get through. Finally, when I did, Fu Qi said you were taking a shower. Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, She lied to you. Why did she lie to me? Huo Jingshen, And she said you two had no rtionship! Liar! A master of lies! Su Wanwan screamed. If Fu Qi wasnt interested in him, why would she say these ambiguous things to deceive her? Deliberately letting her misunderstand? And Why would she have your phone? Huo Jingshen brooded with a sullen face, Ill call now, and you can ask her directly. Finished speaking, he reached out for the phone on the bedside table, dialed the number, and turned on the speakerphone. Soon, Fu Qis sweet voice came through the phone, Brother Jingshen, did you need something? Before Huo Jingshen could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly leaned in and shouted, You little slut, listen up. Huo Jingshen is my man! Dare to covet my man, and Ill make sure you beg for life but wish for death! Fu Qi: Huo Jingshen: I guess I cant really rely on this girl tomunicate properly. After a while, Fu Qis voice came, Sister-inw, I was wrong. Dont do this. I got scared too. I was just worried you had urgent matters with Brother Jingshen Bullshit! Su Wanwan interrupted her. Before she got to say more, Huo Jingshen impatiently hung up the phone. ** Fu Qi held her phone listening to the beep beep sound for a long time before setting down her device. Then she sighed softly. Knock knock knock, The door to her room was knocked. Fu Qi got up and went to open the door. Auntie, Auntie Han asked me toe up and get you for lunch. Fu Ziyang was standing adorably at the door. I dont feel like eating. You go ahead. Oh. Fu Ziyang blinked his eyes but did not leave, Auntie, why cant I get through to my dads phone? Your dad is busy with something. He wille to China to see you soon. Remembering Huo Jingshens instructions, Fu Qi didnt dare to speak carelessly. Who knew You said yesterday that my dad was in the hospital. Fu Qi was taken aback, Did I? Fu Ziyang nodded firmly, Auntie, if you dont tell me the truth, I will go back to the UK by myself. With that, he turned and ran. Ziyang. Fu Qi quickly grabbed his small body, Why are you such a disobedient boy, what did Uncle Huo tell you? Fu Ziyang looked at her, Then you tell me, what exactly happened to my dad? Your dad is Fu Ziyang turned and walked away. Fu Qi was about to reach out and grab him, but on second thought, she withdrew her hand. She went back to the room, picked up her cell phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered. Fu Qi immediately said, Brother Jingshen, what should I do, Ziyang is throwing a temper tantrum, saying he wants to go back to UK, you should hurry over and persuade him, I cant calm him down. Huo Jingshen: ** Putting down his phone in the bedroom on the second floor of the vi, Huo Jingshen expressionlessly stared at Su Wanwan. His long, dark, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a serious vibe, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. Su Wanwan was not afraid at all, What? Huo Jingshen changed his mind at thest moment, Are you hungry? Su Wanwan was taken aback, she hadnt expected him to suddenly ask this question. Immediately she said, Im not hungry! As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a gurgle sound. Su Wanwan coughed. Damnit! So undignified! Huo Jingshen said, Go freshen up first, thene downstairs to eat. Having said that, he nced doubtfully at the duvet covering her legs, Do you need your husbands help? No need! Su Wanwan turned and tried to get out of bed, but Hiss! Just as she straightened her back, she felt her legs go weak, and in an instant, she almost fell onto the carpet. Thankfully, Huo Jingshen was quick to catch her. As his dark eyes looked down, he saw her in such a pitiful state. Sit properly. After he had ced the young girl back in her seat, he stood up and strode towards the wardrobe. He quickly returned with a set of clothes, which he immediately started to put on her. Su Wanwan didnt resist anymore, letting him dress her, even helping with her pants and top. She didnt know where he found a hair tie, but he used it to bind up her long, curly hair. Off you go. Su Wanwan pouted, as if she were being yful, My legs hurt. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. So what? Its all your fault, so you have to take care of me today! Su Wanwan red at him, then opened her arms wide. She obviously wanted to be carried. A hint of amusement shed quickly in Huo Jingshens eyes. He curled his lips into a smile, bent down, and soon he had easily picked up the young girl. Only then did Su Wanwan give a couple of satisfied hums. After he had helped her wash up, he said, Im going downstairs for a while,e and eatter. Okay. After Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan dragged her feeble legs towards the sofa to sit down. A nce at the time showed it was almost midday. Had she wasted away these two days of winter break? What a waste. And she didnt believe she had acted so abnormal the day before. No matter what, this stinky man surely took advantage of her while she wasnt conscious and lied that he was tired when he was full of energy! On the contrary, she was the one who felt like an invalid Realizing that she wouldnt have sses for the next month because of the holiday, wouldnt he be even more unscrupulous? No! Su Wanwan quickly took out her phone and dialed Zhao Qianqians number. Wanwan, whats up? Whats the update on the internship? Teacher Di is busy with something these days. He said that once hes free, he will take us to the TV station for orientation. Who else got the internship? Su Wanwan asked. Jian Shuhao. What? Is there a problem? No problem. She knew she was already married, and Jian Shuhao was not the irrational type. After exchanging a few words with Zhao Qianqian, Su Wanwan hung up the phone. She looked at the time and decided to stagger downstairs. However, the moment she arrived downstairs, she saw two figures, one big and one small, sitting on the living room sofa. One of them was Fu Qi! Compared to a few months ago, Fu Qi hadnt changed much. She still looked sweet and obedient. However, after recalling the incident on the phone the previous day, Su Wanwan was not in the mood to give her a pleasant look. Why are you here? Su Wanwans hostile attitude made Fu Qi nervous. Fu Qi clenched her fists, about to respond, when Huo Jingshen came out of the kitchen carrying a tray. Little sister-inw. Fu Qi stood up, Im sorry, its all my fault. I shouldnt have answered Brother Jingshens phone. Su Wanwan looked at her coldly, assuming a mature stance as she scolded her, Do you know what your actions yesterday meant? What? Fu Qi was confused. Su Wanwan said, Ive told you before that no matter how well you knew my husband, or how familiar and understanding you were with him, he is now married, a taken man. If you still yearn for someone elses husband, try to interfere in their marriage, or even attempt to cause trouble, you are being a homewrecker! Do you understand what a homewrecker is? If you dont, look it up online, and consider the miserable oues experienced by such women as a warning! Fu Qis sweet face turned pale bit by bit, her lips trembling slightly. She knew Su Wanwan was tough, but she had not expected that she would scold her right in front of Brother Jingshen. And, Brother Jingshen didnt stop her Su Wanwan continued, I dont want yesterdays incident to happen again. If it does, you wont be wee in this house! Fu Qi didnt respond. She bit her lip, looking pitiful as she held back tears. Finally, Huo Jingshen spoke up, but what he said was Fu Qi, did you hear what your sister-inw said? Fu Qi: She lowered her head, and after a while, managed to squeeze out three words, I heard. Su Wanwan continued to gaze at her with her beautiful phoenix eyes, direct and piercing, until Baby,e and eat. Although Su Wanwan was still a bit dissatisfied, she wanted to walk over. Suddenly, she pinched her throat to speak in a coquettish tone, Husband, I cant walk. Huo Jingshen nced at her. Su Wanwan widened her innocent eyes and once again spread her arms wide seeking to be carried again! Chapter 519: 519, Mr. Huo is overwhelmingly handsome. Chapter 519: 519, Mr. Huo is overwhelmingly handsome. My legs are really sore, are you going to carry me or not? With that, Huo Jingshen eventually came over. Without saying a word, he strode over, bent down, and with one effort of his arms, easily lifted her up in a bridal carry. He was so incredibly manly! Seeing Fu Qi looking over, Su Wanwan suddenly lifted her hand and tugged at Huo Jingshens shirt cor. Honey, I was wrongst night, next time Ill bite lighter, okay? Huo Jingshen: He was about to speak, his lips pursed together. But honey, you really are amazing, look at me now, I cant even walk. Su Wanwan then cooed in her little voice. Her eyes caught sight of Fu Qi on the side.
    Not surprisingly, due to her rather audacious words, Fu Qis whole face turned red, with a hint of unspoken indignation visible in her expression. Su Wanwan smirked inwardly. She knew that Fu Qi was nothing more than a pampered rich young miss, whose feelings for Huo Jingshen were apparently notpletely extinguished, and it was uncertain whether they would intensify or change in the future. Being a woman herself, she could understand that feeling. The beloved older brother-figure suddenly getting married, only for the bride to be another woman, that feeling was somewhat simr to how she felt when she found out that Xing Yuyun had cheated on her with Su Yanyan. Although she had no particr feelings for Xing Yuyun, having an arranged marriage with him made him hers, at least in name. So when she found out that he and Su Yanyan had been together behind her back, the anger of being deceived and betrayed welled up in her, an uncontainable anger that led her to fly from Los Angeles to catch the cheating couple red-handed. Without exaggerating, at that moment, she really wanted to kill Su Yanyan. A woman scorned can be really frightening, especially when ites to matters of the heart. And after all, Fu Qi was Fu Ziyangs aunt, and Fu Xihan seemed to be life-and-death friends with Huo Jingshen. Unless absolutely necessary, Su Wanwan wouldnt stir up too much trouble, she only hoped that Fu Qi coulde to her senses and restrain her inappropriate thoughts. After all, if her bottom line was truly crossed, Su Wanwan wouldnt show mercy, no matter who the person was. Call it pettiness, jealousy, or possessiveness, once shes married, her man is hers, and no one can snatch him away! At the restaurant, Su Wanwan sat down and started eating, and Huo Jingshen went outside. Apparently, he wasforting Fu Ziyang. The little guy was too worried about his injured dad. Fu Qis exnation was rather confusing, so in the end, Huo Jingshen had to intervene. As Su Wanwan ate, she took out her phone. She checked her social feed, but there wasnt anything new, until a call from Mo Weiyi came in. Wanwan, are you okay afterst night?
    Last night? Su Wanwan gave a couple of light coughs, Im fine. Your husband called mest night, he said you were missing, where did you go? Eh, II went to have a drink. Drinking? Why would you go drinking out of the blue? Did you have a fight with Huo?
    No, we cleared everything up. Su Wanwan hastily changed the subject, Is it fun in the countryside? Its not fun. Mo Weiyis voice immediately became dispirited. Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh. She had guessed it. This girl had lived a life of luxury since she was a child, with servants attending to her every need. Suddenly going to a closed and monotonous country ce, she estimated that You should stay a few more days then, when theres nothing fun, thats when you can really reflect on life. Mo Weiyi: Dont y with your phone while eating. A cold male voice suddenly interrupted. Su Wanwan looked up, quickly suppressing her smile. Huo Jingshen came over, directly took her phone away, hung up the call, then ced it aside, Eat your food. Su Wanwan pouted, Where are Fu Qi and Ziyang? They left. Oh. Hurry up and finish your meal. Huo Jingshen tapped the table with his finger.
    He was serious and slightly impatient. He had been outside talking to the little guy for nearly twenty minutes, yet this girl still hadnt finished her meal. The moment he came in, he saw her smiling at her phone like a little fool. Su Wanwan red at him. The mans eyebrows furrowed, he looked stern and serious, and yet underneath it all, he was so unrestrained and crude. Su Wanwan suddenly put down her chopsticks, You feed me! Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, but surprisingly, he sat down and picked up the chopsticks with his finely defined fingers, beginning to feed her. Su Wanwan felt much happier instantly, and then started mumbling while chewing, Arent you going to work today? Shouldnt thepany be on holiday until New Years Eve? Huo Jingshen red at her, Werent you the one whomanded me to attend to you today? How can I go to work? Su Wanwan: Ahem, so its her fault again, is it? After biting off a piece of rib, Su Wanwan, her mouth full, mumbled, You bullied me! But dont worry, I think Ill be starting my internship tomorrow. The mans fingers paused for a moment, a trace of displeasure shing in his eyes.
    Hurry up, another piece of rib! Su Wanwan shouted. Huo Jingshen mped a small rib into her mouth, his handsome eyebrows knotted together in a frown, What internship? Su Wanwan grinned, Its an opportunity our teacher arranged, an internship at a TV station. If its sooner, Ill report in tomorrow. And if itster? If itster, then itll be in a couple of days. Its bound to happen in the next few days anyway! As expected, a certain someones face became even more grim. Chapter 520: 520, does this sound like human language to you? Chapter 520: 520, does this sound like humannguage to you? After a while, someone said ominously, Didnt you say you were ufortable? I should be fine after resting for two days. Su Wanwan red at him, If not, you can give me a massage. Huo Jingshen: Seeing the old man rarely at a loss, Su Wanwan was inexplicably pleased. She began to boss around again, I want to eat soup. Huo Jingshen put down his chopsticks, prepared a bowl of soup, and began to feed her. Finally, having eaten and drunk her fill, Su Wanwan yawned, Im a bit sleepy and want to go to bed. Go to sleep after a full meal? None of your business! Su Wanwan stretched out her arms, Hurry up and carry me upstairs! Huo Jingshen: This little girl.
    Did she get used to ordering him around? He must have owed her something in hisst life. Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Huo Jingshen resigned himself to carry her upstairs. Once they reached the bedroom, the young girl lying on the clean, neatly made dark bed and suddenly made a new request. I want to watch a movie. Huo Jingshen felt a headacheing on, Didnt you want to sleep? Whats the rush? Ill sleep after the movie. Ill carry you to the home theater. As he spoke, Huo Jingshen was about to pull back the covers. Dont! Su Wanwan quickly pulled the nket back, I like to watch movies in bed. Hurry up and bring me the tablet. As the man stood still beside the bed, Su Wanwan clicked her tongue, I asked you to do something, what are you standing there for! Huo Jingshen extended his hand to pinch her cheek, Are you getting addicted to bossing me around, huh? Ah! Su Wanwan screamed in pain, Didnt you promise to take care of me today? Are you even reluctant to bring me a tablet? Heartless stinky man, you just care about yourself. Bastard, stupid Try cursing again? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. Su Wanwans eyelid twitched, and she pushed him hard, Im not fully recovered yet, you better stay away from me, I warn you! Huo Jingshen: Of course, he knew she wasnt fully recovered yet. Because she was druggedst night, she had been energetic with sweet words around her lips, calling him honey. Whatever he told her to do, she did. Obedient, respectful, and alluring.
    She was nothing less than a little enchantress. Moreover, it had been quite a long time since he staged that fast, so the events ofst night could not be stopped Huo Jingshen, holding both ends of the duvet, was closely watching the clear and sharp eyes of the young girl. About this His voice was low, Husband has a hundred other ways, do you want to try?
    Su Wanwan: What a shameless guy! Was he talking like a human? Well, baby, dont you want to try? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. He was so close that his presence was extremely threatening. Su Wanwan was feeling intimidated and had to soften her tone, I want to watch a movie. I havent seen the recently released Dying to Survive, everyone says its excellent. Huo Jingshen didnt reply. Honey, quickly help me bring the tablet. Su Wanwan continued to speak in a soft, coaxing manner. Hearing her call him honey, the mans eyes finally softened a bit. When he got up to fetch the tablet, Su Wanwan suddenly shouted again, Off you go, Pikachu! Huo Jingshen: Pika! This girl is bing more and more outrageous! But what can you do?
    Even if his wife, who he spoiled, became more outrageous, she could only continue to be spoiled. Soon he brought the tablet, set it up on the stand, and ced it beside her, Im going to the study. Off you go, off you go. Su Wanwan waved her little hand, as if shooing a fly away. Huo Jingshen: * * Su Wanwan fell asleep before the movie ended. She slept straight through to the evening. After waking up, she sleepily went downstairs, and the living room was quiet with no one around. Su Wanwan frowned and nced at the study before walking towards it. Upon pushing the door open, sure enough, the man was sitting behind the desk, only. Are you trying to be an immortal? The room was filled with the smell of smoke. At first nce, it looked like a swirling haze of smoke, just like a legendary figure preparing to ascend to immortality.
    At this moment, he was still holding a cigarette. Ridiculous! Huo Jingshen quickly stubbed out the cigarette, got up, opened the window, and then walked over, Awake? He looked at the time, You slept for three hours. Are you a pig? Youre the pig, your whole family are pigs! Huo Jingshen chuckled and pinched her little cheek, What do you want for dinner, sweetheart? Im not eating! Su Wanwan red at him, Im going on a diet! Its only been two days of her vacation, eat then sleep, sleep then eat. Sooner orter, hed feed her till she became a pig. Su Wanwan secretly pinched her waist. Previously, she had a three-inch waist. Now it seemed it did seem like she had gained a bit of weight, she could feel a bit of flesh when she pinched. Youre not allowed to go on a diet. Huo Jingshen immediately said. Thinking about his previous remark about her good tactile sensation, Su Wanwan hummed a bit, The fat is on my body. If I want to lose it, Ill lose it. Its none of your business. Huo Jingshen looked at her, speaking very seriously, Skipping meals to lose weight can lead to a lot of gastrointestinal problems and can also affect liver and kidney function. What?
    Su Wanwan was horrified, Stop talking nonsense! Everything I say is scientifically based. Su Wanwan: Therefore, for the sake of your husband, you cannot diet. After all, you belong to your husband, and so does your body. If you really want to lose weight, you can try to exercise more. Huo Jingshens words were clearly suggestive. Chapter 521: 521, Wanwan was hit on, little sister, add me on WeChat. Chapter 521: 521, Wanwan was hit on, little sister, add me on WeChat. Huo Jingshen made an insinuatedment, Our dear is a bit fragile right now. Fragile? Su Wanwan instantly understood, blushing furiously as she roared, Its all on your shamelessness! Even if she were Iron Man, how could she withstand being driven so hardright? Huo Jingshen chuckled, Who was it that wouldnt let me sleep, and kept begging to Su Wanwan instantly covered his mouth. For goodness sake! With no outsiders around during the holidays, he was utterly shameless with his words! Internship! She must go for the internship!
    Otherwise, she feared her frail body wouldnt hold up! Fortunately, Zhao Qianqian finally called the next night. After hanging up, Su Wanwan started to rummage through the closet looking for clothes. She discovered that all of her clothes, bought by Granny Huo and Huo Jingshen, were in soft pastel colors, suitable for young girls. They were quite expensive, all designer brands, beautiful but not practical for office wear. Finally, she put together an outfit of a dark sweater and jeans, which seemed more mature and steady. Su Wanwan changed into the clothes, ran into the bedroom, and asked a certain beast, Does it look good? Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, Why dress up so beautifully for an internship? Su Wanwans smile was radiant, So, youre saying I look good. Huo Jingshen: Then Ill wear these tomorrow. Su Wanwan ran back to the closet to organize her clothes when she heard Huo Jingshen speak up. Which TV station? The one under Huanyu Media. After saying this, she turned and looked at him, There will be a supervisor with me, dont bother calling them. Huo Jingshen raised his handsome eyebrows, nonmittal. Su Wanwan had received Gu Huaians business card long ago, but for something as trivial as an internship. She didnt want to bother such a big boss for help. Once the clothes were put away, she went online and discovered that Huanyu Media was quite famous. Supported by Gu Media, Huanyu Media, founded by Gu Huaian, has a wide range of businesses. These include investments in and operations of movies, TV shows, artist agencies, record production, entertainment marketing, and video games. They not only coborate with TV stations across the country but also run their TV station, magazines, newspapers, websites, and countless multimedia tforms. It could be said that Huanyu Media was a leader in the industry, and was unrivalled in Nancheng. It would not be an exaggeration to call it an entertainment empire.
    What Su Wanwan was going to intern for was a program team under Huanyu TV. They had recently produced several popr shows, especially a talk show that has be quite popr in recent years, dominating many online tforms with high viewership. She didnt expect Di Chenghe to be the program director. Oh my. Excited, Su Wanwan called Mo Weiyi, Im going to intern at a TV station tomorrow.
    Huh? Mo Weiyi was naturally surprised, What kind of a job? Well, just an internship. Theres nothing else to do at home during the winter break anyway. Specifically? A variety show, not sure what my responsibilities will be yet, possibly an assistant role, like a runner. Su Wanwan had nned for her future career and considered getting a head start now couldnt be a bad thing. ** The next day, Huo Jingshen went to work early. Because the TV station starts workte, Su Wanwan didnt leave until after nine in her car. She picked up Zhao Qianqian halfway, who began toin as soon as she got into the car, Hasnt Young Master Huo reced your car yet? This car. After thinking for a while, she found a word to describe it, Cost-effective. Su Wanwan coughed lightly, He didnt buy this car. He had been stingy with her allowance. Would he buy her a car? Huo Jingshen did have a few luxury cars, but he hardly ever drove them. He drove a ck Maserati daily, and his chauffeur drove an Audi.
    No way, is Young Master Huo that stingy? Youre about to start an internship, shouldnt he get you a supercar to drive? That would be too shy. She had been used of being kept by an old man because of this car. Wouldnt driving a sports car add more scandal? Zhao Qianqian nodded in understanding, I see. Dont unt your wealth. Su Wanwan: Chatting andughing along the way, they arrived at the TV station just at 10 oclock. The two girls waited at the door for Jian Shuhao, Zhao Qianqian started to speak. Director Di said two groups need interns, one is the production group and the other one is the directors group. Ive decided to go to the production group. Which one are you choosing? The production team is generally responsible for the post-production of the program, basically huddling in the editing room, dealing with all sorts of materials andputers every day. Honestly, its a bit tedious and boring, more suitable for males. Ill go to the directing team, Su Wanwan immediately said. Then Ill go to the directing team with you, Zhao Qianqian promptly changed her mind. Jian Shuhao:
    Di Chenghe arrived swiftly, leading the trio to sign in. It was their first time here and they couldnt help but look around as they walked. The atmosphere at the TV station waspletely different from school. In the office, men and women rushed about. Everyone seemed full of energy, with no sign of ckening due to the end of the year. On the contrary, the TV station became busier as the year-end approached. After all, the publics leisure time is concentrated during the holidays. The entertainment industry is the busiest when others are on break. The Spring Festival, in particr, is even more hectic. Di Chenghe first took Jian Shuhao to the production team, and after making arrangements, he took the two girls to the directing team. In the corridor, a man in his thirties carrying a camera came out. He greeted Di Chenghe first and then shifted his gaze to Su Wanwan. Yo, Di, is she your student? Shes so beautiful, he remarked. Di Chenghe looked at him with a half-smile, Keep your inappropriate thoughts to yourself. Whats that? Cant I even ask? the man said while keeping his gaze on Su Wanwan.
    He was a cameraman who had filmed countless beauties and big-name stars over the years. Despite Su Wanwans simple attire today consisting of a simple ck knitted sweater and jeans, her round face was fully visible, making her all the more appealing to the camera. From his professional photographers perspective, her face was extremely photogenic, and she would undoubtedly qualify as a star! When Di Chenghe went to find someone, the man approached Su Wanwan with his phone, Little girl, lets add each other on WeChat. For what? asked Su Wanwan, her clear ck and white eyes looked pure. Zhao Qianqian at the side was also curious and watched him closely. The man smiled. As expected of a college student, young and naive. You guys are interning here, right? I can show you the ropes. Im a veteran here, I can easily get anyone a job, he offered. Really? Zhao Qianqian seemed excited. But Su Wanwan just asked, Are you single? At her question, the mans smile broadened, Of course. But Im not, she responded. The man was taken aback. She continued, Im married, wouldnt it be inappropriate for you to coach me? Married? Haha, you must be joking. Youre a college student, how old are you that youre already married? The man clearly didnt believe her. I got married young, Su Wanwan said, then raised her left hand to face him, Do you see this? On her left ring finger, a radiant diamond ring glowed, shing so brightly it almost blinded the man. You can coach me, Im not married, Zhao Qianqian hurriedly started to search for her phone, but the man had already turned around and left. Hey, why are you running? Damn, cant you be a little more real? Zhao Qianqian, feeling attacked, red at Su Wanwan, gritting her teeth, Fairy! She was about to give up on this looks-based society! Su Wanwan felt helpless. Todays encounter clearly wasnt her fault. In the end, Di Chenghe assigned Su Wanwan to a female director as an intern, while Zhao Qianqian was assigned to a young male director. Everyone got what they needed, and everyone was happy. While Su Wanwan was getting used to her internship, on the southern outskirts of the city, Mo Weiyi was boringly ying games on his phone. Madam Xu lived in an old courtyard with the main house built in the architectural style of thete Qing Dynasty. The high walls and red doors still demonstrated the grandeur from decades ago, but in todays society, it seemed somewhat quiet and outdated. And furthermore There was no Wi-Fi! Madam Xu didnt watch much TV, so there was no set-top box installed. To put it bluntly, there were no entertainment facilities at all! Mo Weiyi was left only able to y with his phone every day. The Xu family was once prestigious, but unfortunately, with the dwindling descendants, they gradually fell into decline. Chapter 522: 522, is the little princess coming down to experience the common peoples life? Chapter 522: 522, is the little princessing down to experience themon peoples life? Actually, the Xus Family ancestors were once a famous and noble family, but they gradually declined due to the continued fading of their offspring. By the time it reached Grandma Xu, she had only one daughter. The daughter married poorly and after her husband died, she moved back here with her two daughters. As the two daughters grew older, the eldest, Xu Xian, married Mo Yaoxiong, and Xu Jing headed to America with her husband. Now, Xu Xian has already gone mad and passed away, while Xu Jing has returned home after a divorce. Her daughter, Qu Yunyao, even brazenly got pregnant and mixed up with men in the open Mo Weiyi thought that Grandma Xu would be somewhat affected by these matters, but he didnt expect she would maintain a good mental state. She just spent her days gardening, reading, listening to music, and asionally chitchatting with the elderly neighbors. In her sixties, she still ys the violin beautifully, and her cooking skills are beyond exceptional. When Mo Weiyi arrived that day, he asked the servants and driver to leave. The olddy was quite worried, Yiyi, theres nobody here to look after you, wouldnt that be ufortable? Dont worry, Grandma, arent you here? I am old now
    Then I will take care of you. This statement got a goodugh from the olddy. In fact, Grandma Xu was very healthy due to her cheery temperament and constant work. She didnt need anyone to take care of her. Instead, she took care of her granddaughter more often. She would cook several dishes for each meal using crops she grew herself. They were fresh and clean. After the meal, Mo Weiyi didnt even have to lift a finger. The olddy did everything herself. Mo Weiyi wasnt even allowed to help. One day, right before lunch, Mo Weiyi took a few photos and posted them to his circle of friends, which elicited lots of mockery and jokes. [So, youre staying on a farm now?] [Is the little princess experiencing themon peoples life?] [Got tired of feasting, so youre switching to a simple diet?] [Where is the princess wandering now?] [Throw your address here! Lets hang out!] The friends on WeChat were all people he had met at gatherings. He didnt even remember who many of them were, so he didnt care about theirments. And the one person he did care about wouldnt respond to him anyway. In fact, since getting WeChat, he hadnt ever sent any messages or posted in his circle of friends. He barely bothers to look at it. He guessed he wouldnt respond even if he did see it. But Ling Zhizhou did send him a message. [Big sis, where are you traveling?] Mo Weiyi replied, [Im at Grandmas house.] [Is it Xu Yuan Vige?]
    Mo Weiyi was surprised, [How did you know?] [I used to live there.] Mo Weiyi didnt expect such a coincidence, [Where are you now?] [I will be there in a few days. How many days will you be staying?]
    Mo Weiyi hadnt decided how many days he would stay, but he would definitely have to return to the Mos old house for the Chinese New Year. After calcting, he replied, [Probably around 10 days.] [Good, Ille to find you then.] After lunch, Mo Weiyi took a nap. Though its in the countryside, the air is fresh and quiet, making it an ideal ce for a nap, especially in this cold winter. He heard faint voices while he was in a daze. Mom, why didnt you tell me Yiyi came to keep youpany? Do I need to tell you about these things? Xu Jing sighed, Mom, I care about you. I came to see you as soon as I got off work. You should care more about your good daughter. Yunyao has already gone to Italy. When it came to Qu Yunyao, Xu Jing couldnt help but sigh again, I really didnt expect Yunyao to end up like this. As a mother, you didnt discipline her, and when your daughter does the wrong thing, sighing wont help.
    Mom, how can you me me for this? Ever since I got divorced, its been a struggle to make ends meet. Yunyao is always out working. How can I keep an eye on her all the time? She used to be so sensible, how could I know she would end up like this? Enough with your crying, Yiyi is sleeping inside. Lower your voice! Following Grandma Xus reprimand, Xu Jings crying dwindled. After a while, the elderlydys voice rang out again, What are you nning to do in the future? With her daughter studying abroad in Italy, and only Xu Jing left in Nancheng, Grandma Xu was naturally concerned. Xu Jing said, Ive found several tutoring jobs and even joined a drama group. Im nning to save up money by participating in every performance opportunity I get. Currently, Yunyaos tuition even burdens my brother-inw. Yaoxiong helping you despite everything, is only because of Axian. Ah, its just a pity that Axian passed away too soon. She didnt get to enjoy this blessing. Mom, are you still ming me? The issue back then, it was clearly sister who Stop it! Are you trying to let Yiyi hear? I Mo Weiyi opened his eyes wide, trying to listen closely, but he found there was no more sound outside. The conversation was interrupted mid-way, they evidently didnt want him to hear. Mo Weiyi frowned and struggled to get up from his bed.
    Hearing the noise inside, the olddys voice came from outside again, Yiyi, are you awake? Mo Weiyi put on a coat, walked over and opened the door, Grandma. In the living room, Xu Jing, who was sitting on the couch, quickly got up to greet him, Yiyi, youre awake. Her eyes were still reddish C an obvious sign that she had been crying recently. Mo Weiyi looked at her, her clear and bright cat-like eyes saying, Auntie, what were you just talking about with Grandma? Chapter 523: 523, she will not affect your relationship with Yebai. Chapter 523: 523, she will not affect your rtionship with Yebai. Mo Weiyi looked at her, her ck and white cat eyes clear and transparent, Auntie, what were you chatting with grandma about just now? Nothing much. Was my voice too loud and woke you up? Im sorry, Yiyi. Xu Jing said with deep regret. Mo Weiyi said, But I heard you mention something about my mother Your mothers death anniversary ising soon. Your aunt was talking to me about preparing to visit her grave. Mrs. Xu exined. Xu Xians death anniversary is at the end of February. Its almost here Mo Weiyi remembered that it was the day after the Lantern Festival, in the middle of the night, when Xu Xian suddenly ran into her room, screaming and yelling, wearing a white dress. By then, Xu Xian had already been diagnosed with severe depression for two or three years. Her mental condition was unstable and she often spoke nonsense that others couldnt understand. Mo Weiyi was 16 at the time and her whole mind was on Xiao Yebai. Also, because she was always forced to practice piano when she was a kid, she felt her mother was too strict and had a temper. She didnt feel particrly close to her and seldom paid her any attention.
    Xu Xian usually lived in the attic at the back of the house and a servant was specifically responsible for taking care of her. Mo Weiyi still clearly remembered that diagnosed evening when Xu Xian had a hysterical outburst and fainted in front of her in the midst of a mental breakdown, scaring her half to death. Afterward, Mo Yaoxiong quickly arranged to send her to the hospital, but she died in the car on the way. The reported cause of death by the doctor was: sudden myocardial infarction. After that night, Mo Weiyi dared not sleep alone at night. If Xiao Yebai was not with her, she would have to have Aunt Zhou apany her. Yiyi. Xu Jings voice rose again, Actually, about Yunyaos matter, Ive always wanted to apologize to you. Mo Weiyi was brought back to her senses, Why are you telling me this? Isnt what happened to Qu Yunyao her own doing? And what does it have to do with her? Xu Jing frowned tightly, I really didnt expect that Yunyao would dare to set her sights on Yebai. Its my fault for not teaching her well as a mother. What are you saying? Mo Weiyis mind went nk for a moment. Xu Jing, what nonsense are you talking about? Yunyao and Yebai Mrs. Xu could not believe it, How is this possible? Yiyi, didnt you know about this? Xu Jing looked at her with surprise, Im sorry, I thought you knew. It was brother-inw who told me about this. The old man and Yebai, they all know about it. Seeing Mo Weiyis pale face, Xu Jingforted her, But dont worry. Yunyao has been sent to study in Italy and she wont be able toe back in the short term. So she wont affect your rtionship with Yebai. It would have been better if she hadnt said anything. The more she said, the more it seemed she was trying to cover things up. Because it was Mo Yaoxiong who had sent Qu Yunyao to study in Italy. Back then, Mo Weiyi only thought it was because Yunyao had caused a scandal and was afraid it would bring a bad influence to the Mo family and Mo Corporation, but now she realized it wasnt that simple. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but think back to Xiao Zhiwei. Because of her unhealthy obsession with Xiao Yebai, she was forced to go to Canada by Mo Yaoxiong four years ago. Sigh.
    Yiyi. Xu Jing continued to exin, You really shouldnt overthink, there should be nothing between Yunyao and Yebai Nothing? Mo Weiyi looked at her with a faint smile, Aunty, are you saying that your daughter coveted my husband, and you, as a mother, did not know? Yiyi, what do you mean by that? I really didnt know. Liar!
    Yiyi, dont get upset. No wonder Qu Yunyao refused to move out back then, acting pitiful in front of others while secretly scaring me and finding trouble with me. It turns out it was all because she was having designs on my husband! Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, finding the situation ironic. She asked, word by word, How far did they go? Yiyi. Xu Jing, with her eyes reddening, was at a loss for words. Xu Jing! Mrs. Xu shouted sternly, What the hell is going on? Tell Yiyi everything clearly, no half-truths! Xu Jing frowned deeply and said, I only learned about this after Yunyao was hospitalized. She said the rtionship with that manager Zhang was purely idental. She really wanted to be with Xiu Hui, and Xiu Hui always thought Yunyao was carrying his child. But then manager Zhang suddenly came to Nancheng and got drunk in the backyard one night and forced that thing to happen with Yunyao Yunyao didnt drink that night. Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted. But she was pregnant at the time and dared not resist, fearing injury to the child. Who knew that it would be discovered by others and journalists were called over Aunty, dont you find your words contradictory? Mo Weiyi scoffed. At this moment, she suddenly felt extremely calm. Previously, she had not cared, but now that she has discovered the truth, she realized that everything was already foreshadowed. Yiyi, what do you mean by that? Xu Jing was extremely cautious. She knows that her niece doesnt like her.
    A womans intuition is very urate. Even though she has done her best to restrain herself, trying hard and being cautious, never daring to ck off during each day she lives in the Mo family, Mo Weiyi was always on guard against her. Chapter 524: 524, Mo Weiyi curls his lips into a bright and mocking smile. Chapter 524: 524, Mo Weiyi curls his lips into a bright and mocking smile. Mo Weiyi kept her eyes on her the whole time. The young and beautiful girl, with no makeup at the moment, had a face as delicate as a painting, so fresh and tender that it made others envious. A certain pride and aloofness were intrinsic in her brows and eyes. She held herself superior to all, intimidating and dominant even when facing elders. Finally, she articted her words slowly, Auntie, do you think Yunyao doesnt know who the father of the child in her belly really is? Since the child belongs to Manager Zhang, why didnt she abort it? She doesnt even like that man, why would she want to keep a child from a man she loathes? What exactly does she want to achieve by keeping the child? Enduring the vition of a strange man and worrying that struggling might harm the child? Huh. Is she a saintly white lotus not killing any life? Is she the stupid one? Or do you seriously believe your own daughter is that naive and kind-hearted?
    The session of confrontational questions made Xu Jings heart tremble. She licked her dry lips and could only say, Actually, Im not very clear about it either. If you really want to know, you can directly call Yunyao or ask Yebai. Huh. Mo Weiyi smirked, herugh was both bright and mocking. It was clear that Xu Jing was hiding some facts, the reasons were apparent. Dont overthink it. While it is true Yunyao likes Yebai, I believe Yebai wouldnt do anything to hurt you. Upon hearing these words, Mo Weiyis smile became even more derisive. She suddenly didnt know who to trust anymore. Recently, she had discovered that the man she had trusted the most in the past decade, was concealing so many things from her. What else hasnt he told her? Does he think shes really that stupid? Naive? Easily fooled? Mo Weiyi didnt reply. She turned around and walked straightly into the bedroom with a stiff back. The door was mmed shut with a pop. Then, there was a heavy, deathly silence. The sound of the door closing startled Xu Jing so much that ayer of cold sweat appeared on her back. When she recovered, she found the old Mrs. Xu was looking at her. Although the olddy was high in her years, her eyes were still sharp. The angry gaze was intimidating. Her tone was clearly upset, Xu Jing, why are you talking about these things with Weiyi? Xu Jing bit her lips. She looked pitiful and innocent. Mom, wasnt I just afraid that the affairs of the past year would leak? As expected, this left old Mrs. Xu slightly stunned. Besides, I thought she knew, after all, isnt Yebai her husband? Arent they husband and wife? Xu Jing said again.
    Old Mrs. Xu could only sigh deeply. Mom. Xu Jing suddenly got up, picked up her bag and coat, I have to go back. Did you juste back to talk to Weiyi about these things? old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly. No, no. Xu Jing hastily denied, I genuinely have a training session to attend tomorrow so I have to go back. Also, since Weiyi is staying here, its not very convenient for me.
    Go, go. Old Mrs. Xu impatiently waved her hand, Next time just call, no need toe back. Mom, what are you saying? Old Mrs. Xu didnt want to talk anymore, she didnt pay any attention to her daughter and went straight to the little kitchen to busy herself. Xu Jing packed up her things. After ncing at the closed bedroom door, she quickly left. ** Inside the bedroom. Mo Weiyi was lying on her side on the bed, wearing headphones, listening to music, trying not to let herself think too much. But it was impossible. The words Xu Jing spoke kept echoing in her mind. She picked up her phone and found that name in her contacts. Several times she wanted to make the call but refrained herself at thest moment. After an uncertain period of time, Mo Weiyi suddenly got up and actually dialed another number. Shortly after, the call connected. Rong Ans voice came through, Princess?
    Come pick me up from Xu Yuan vige now. It was already six in the evening. Hearing this, Rong An didnt ask any questions. Okay, I got it. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi got up and walked out of the bedroom. Just as old Mrs. Xu wasing out carrying a steaming porcin bowl, she saw her granddaughtering out. She smiled brightly and said, Weiyi, your favorite shrimp and egg soup is ready,e over and eat. Mo Weiyi originally had no appetite, but seeing the kindly smiling face of the olddy, she still went over to sit at the dining table. She picked up the spoon and ate quietly, in small bites. Looking at this, old Mrs. Xu sighed inwardly. She had been there before. She naturally knew about Mo Weiyis feelings for Xiao Yebai for all these years. This time she suddenly came to live here alone and hadnt seen her call Xiao Yebai during these days, and Xiao Yebai hadnte over. Although Mo Weiyi didnt say anything, she knew there must be some problems between them. As a senior, she could only pretend not to know since Mo Weiyi didnt bring it up. She had thought it was just a small quarrel, she figured that Xiao Yebai would definitelye to pick her up in a few days, but she didnt expect that it actually had something to do with Qu Yunyao. Thinking of what Xu Jing had said just now, old Mrs. Xu carefully spoke, Weiyi, regarding Yunyaos situation, if you dont understand or cant figure it out, you should directly ask Yebai. Any frustration between the couple must be spoken about, dont hide it. If its bottled up for too long, it can lead to misunderstandings and easily harm the rtionship.
    Mo Weiyi hummed a response. I dont know much about Yebai, but I can tell hes not very talkative. Such a man The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. Mo Weiyi picked up the phone and looked at the name on the screen. Zhan Yao? Chapter 525: 525, dont you know Yebai has been hospitalized? Chapter 525: 525, dont you know Yebai has been hospitalized? Zhan Yao? Mo Weiyi had only met him twice. Although they had quite a chat the second time they met, they hadnt been in contact since. He was cheerful, witty, and an entirely different type of person from Xiao Yebai. But she was not in the mood to chat at this moment. Especially since this man, was a friend of Xiao Yebai. Weiyi. Mrs. Xu mistakenly thought it was Xiao Yebai who called, and hurriedly said, Why dont you answer the call? Mo Weiyi nced at her grandma, and then reluctantly slid her finger to answer, Hello. Little Princess, where are you? asked Zhan Yao. Mo Weiyi replied, Im in the countryside.
    Countryside? What the hell? Dont you know Yebai is in the hospital? The moment she heard these words, Mo Weiyis pupils contracted sharply, What happened to him? Her whole body instantly tensed up. Her voice even trembled slightly. Oh shit, it seems like you genuinely didnt know. Zhan Yao cursed, I thought, howe this guy is almost dead and youre nowhere to be seen. What did you say? Mo Weiyi turned deathly pale. In the next second. Hahaha, gotcha! Did I scare you? Mo Weiyi was silent. Dont worry, he isnt dead. Hes still hanging in there. The doctor said its severe gastric bleeding due to excessive drinking. If it was anyter, he might not have made it, he needs to stay in the hospital now for observations. Hes not awake yet, you bettere over now, Nangong Hospital room 2109, gotta go. After finishing his sentence, Zhan Yao hung up. Weiyi, whats wrong? Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked. Mo Weiyi sat there, still feeling dazed, for a long moment, she lifted her head to look at the elderly woman. Grandma, I need to go back. Hearing these words, Mrs. Xu did not try to stop her or ask the reason why. Instead, she smiledfortingly, Youre even earlier than I expected. ** Nangong Hospital. In the corridor, Zhan Yao ended the call on his cellphone and pushed open a room door. Oh, youre awake? The man on the hospital bed furrowed his brows and looked over.
    Look how worn out you are, tsk, tsk, tsk. Zhan Yao walked over and started to reprimand him, Did something distress you? You drank so much! Do you deliberately want to make life difficult for me? If you really died on me, wouldnt your Little Princess have toe to me for revenge? Honestly, I think you did it on purpose. To be honest, Zhan Yao was really scared. Halfway through the drinking, suddenly, he started vomiting blood can you believe it?
    Normally, Xiao Yebai could handle his liquor very well, Zhan Yao had known him for many years and never seen him drunk, no matter how much he drank, he always kept his cool, but who would have thought He was merely putting up with it! The doctor just informed him that hes been suffering from a stomach ailment for many years, he cant drink or stay upte anymore You can go now. Xiao Yebai said indifferently. He had already changed into a clean hospital gown, with an IV drip inserted in the back of his left hand. Despite all of this, he still bore an intimidating, holier-than-thou look, that suggested he was irritable. Zhan Yao instantly became more upset, Im going to leave, do you think I want to stay here to take care of you? Ha, dream on! Xiao Yebai didnt respond, he just turned his face away haughtily. Zhan Yao was irritated. Then he abruptly dered, I just called the Little Princess. Sure enough, Xiao Yebai immediately turned his face back. Zhan Yao purposely didnt speak. Xiao Yebai remained silent as well. The room felt quiet.
    In the end. Zhan Yao couldnt keep up the act, Damn it, arent you curious about what she said? Xiao Yebais thin lips opened, What did she say? Zhan Yao again: Really, its unbearable. For this stinking kid, it took several beatings just to squeeze out a fart, he really didnt understand how the Little Princess had managed to put up with him all these years? Because he had known Xiao Yebai for seven years now, and often couldnt help but feel the urge to want to kill him! Nothing much. Zhan Yao grimaced, She said she was in the countryside, and cante over. Told you to listen to the doctor and take care of yourself. Upon hearing these words, the mans handsome face remained unmoved, showing no signs of disappointment, not even a flicker in his eyes. Zhan Yao didnt care, he smirked and said arrogantly, Then just listen to your wifes advice. Take care of yourself here. Im going first. Xiao Yebai promptly turned his face away again. Zhan Yao: Damn it, you wait and see!
    Leaving the hospital room, in the corridor, Zhan Yao stopped, and dialed a number. Tian Ye, dont say I didnt treat you as a friend. Yebai is in the hospital now and needs someone to take care of him. What? Are you talking about Miss Mo? Oh, she seems to be in the countryside, too far toe over. Otherwise, do you think I would have told you? I also care about my brother. I have to go back to the police station. Hes alone in the hospital and really needs care. Do you want me to call the Mo family? Alright, then hurry over. Nangong Hospital room 2109. After hanging up the phone, Zhan Yao grinned like a crafty old fox. Damn it, the shock he got from that damn kids in the bar tonight! If he didnt do something, how could he justify the cold sweat he broke out into? ** On the other side. Mo Weiyi didnt even know how she got into the car. She just stated the address, and Rong An drove as she sat in the back seat, lost in her thoughts. The night was bleak.
    The car was running fast. Looking through the car window, she could clearly see her own face. Pale, devoid of any life, no more the sunny and lively girl she used to be. She could barely recognize herself. Was this really her? Chapter 526: How is my husband doing? Chapter 526: How is my husband doing? Mo Weiyis fingers tightened. For the first time in her life, she experienced how difficult it could be to make a decision, a decision so challenging that she almost couldnt breathe. Finally, they arrived at the hospital. The car came to a stop, but Mo Weiyi stayed seated, motionless. Princess, were at the hospital. Rong An turned her head to look at the young woman, momentarily stunned. Mo Weiyi collected herself and moved her hand to the car door. She even forgot to take her bag. When she stepped out, her foot found only emptiness and she fell clumsily to the ground. The sudden thud had Rong An perplexed.
    He rushed out of the car and helped Mo Weiyi up, Princess, are you okay? Mo Weiyi shook her head briefly. Then, as if it had just urred to her, she dusted off her clothes hastily. Rong An steadied her and picked up the coat and bag from the car seat. With her coat on, Mo Weiyi turned and headed for the in-patient building. Rong An closed the car door and swiftly followed her, carrying the bag. Stepping out of the elevator, Mo Weiyi stood in front of room 2101 with a hint of hesitation. Rong An came over now, handing over the bag as his voice deepened, Princess, I will wait outside. Mo Weiyi nodded. Bag in hand, she inhaled deeply,posed herself, and pushed open the door. But seeing the woman inside, her justposed face instantly cooled into an aloof expression. Tian Ye. She was sitting like a wife beside the bed, holding a small bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, turning her head when she heard the door open. The man on the bed also looked over. One surprised. One expressionless. It was clear that this scene was notfortable for Mo Weiyi. Even though she knew that Xiao Yebai didnt like her. Even with the decision she had just made.
    Even when she dreamt about them being together after their divorce. But. They arent divorced yet, right? And she was so eager to take care of him?
    Tian Ye quickly put down the bowl and spoon and stood up. Dressed in a white dress, she was charming and graceful. Her expression was uneasy, and her voice was cautious. Miss Mo, youre here. Mo Weiyi raised her chin, and step by step, walked over in her high heels with a cold and noble demeanour. The moment she reached the bed, her beautiful, enchanting eyes scanned over the man lying there. Xiao Yebaiy in his patient gown, looking somewhat pale without his sses, his short hair slightly tousled, and an IV tube inserted in his hand. But even so, nothing could detract from his handsome looks. He looked a bit down and out, but this only added to his charm. Still as dazzlingly handsome as ever. Hows my husband? Mo Weiyi asked nonchntly. His deep, dark eyes flickered, watching her but remaining silent. Tian Ye spoke softly, The situation is not good, the doctor said to continue the IV and observe. He needs to pay attention to his diet and rest in the next few days, and have a gastroscopy when his condition is stable. How did you end up here? Mo Weiyi asked directly. Tian Ye furrowed her brows slightly, I just arrived.
    What I meant was, how did you know my husband was in the hospital? Mo Weiyi, forceful and imposing, posed another question. Tian Ye was ufortable but answered in front of Xiao Yebai, I received a phone call telling me Mo Weiyi narrowed her eyes, From who? Tian Ye bit her lip, Zhan Yao. Zhan Yao? The mention of this name inexplicably eased Mo Weiyis tension, and she promptly said, You can go home now. Tian Ye stared at her in surprise. Mo Weiyi: What? Surprised? Did you think that with me, his wife being here, you still need to stay? In which capacity would you be staying here in, huh? Miss Mo. Tian Ye nced at Xiao Yebai, and countered, You call yourself Yebais wife, may I ask where were you when Yebai had the ident? If you had fulfilled your duties as a wife, would I, as a friend, need to rush over in the middle of the night to take care of him? Mo Weiyiughed coldly, If this is how you feel, why didnt you, as a friend of my husband, inform me, his wife? Tian Ye was at a loss for words, I Are you going to tell me that you dont have my phone number?
    Tian Ye bit her lip harder. With such persistent questioning, whether in terms of momentum or logic, Mo Weiyi had the upper hand while Tian Ye had no ground to stand on. But she couldnt help but continue, Miss Mo, indeed I dont know your number. As expected, Mo Weiyi broke into a colder smile, In that case, jot down my number. So the next time my husband has a slight illness, you dont rush over here like a wife. My husband is a married man, and Miss Tian is still unmarried, neither sentimentally nor rationally She paused, its not appropriate. Tian Ye almost bit through her lip. She looked at the young beautiful girl standing before her. Without any makeup and even her coat not worn properly, it was obvious that she had rushed here. However, even so, her outfit was well put together, a red and white checkered coat matched with a white knitted top, her slender, straight legs adorned with stockings of the same colour under a ck skirt. The details of her was refined and exquisite. Her hair, which used to reach her waist, was now styled into a Korean-style shoulder-length cut. The ends unted a perfect, voluminous curl, highlighting her pretty, cogen-filled face. There was sweetness, but also a hint of womanly allure she didnt possess before. Tian Ye, you can leave now. The sudden cold voice of a man made Tian Ye even more embarrassed.
    Chapter 527: 527, Weiyi, are you jealous? Chapter 527: 527, Weiyi, are you jealous? Tian Ye, you should go home. The suddenly booming cold male voice made Tian Ye feel increasingly awkward. But you My wife is here. Xiao Yebai said this to her in an indifferent tone, but his gaze was on Mo Weiyis face. The implication in his words was clear. Tian Ye clenched her fists, and after a while, she found her voice and said in a dignified and elegant manner, In that case, I should go. Yebai, dont forget what the doctor said, rest well and do not take your health lightly. Xiao Yebai sat there expressionless, and when he heard these words, his gaze was still fixed on Mo Weiyi, showing no reaction. But Mo Weiyi was looking at Tian Ye. Meeting her clear and pure cat-like eyes, Tian Yes embarrassment was evident. She should not havee. She really should not havee.
    But she hated herself for having a soft heart, rushing over when she heard from Zhan Yao that Xiao Yebai was alone in the hospital without anyone to take care of him. Even though Xiao Yebai hadnt said a word since she arrived, she epted it willingly. She even though that it might be because he was ill. Before entering the ward, she had gone to the office to ask the doctor about Xiao Yebais health. Xiao Yebai had, for several years, suffered from a stomach ailment, and this time he had severe gastric bleeding. He needed to recuperate carefully; his diet, rest and medication were all part of the prescribed treatment. Just now she wanted to feed him some water, but as soon as she sat down, Mo Weiyi arrived. And then he started talking How ironic. Tian Ye took a deep breath, picked up her bag and coat, and was about to turn around and leave when Tian Ye. Xiao Yebais voice suddenly called out again. Tian Ye felt a sudden jolt in her heart and hurriedly looked at him. The man on the sickbed was cold and indifferent, his voice was so calm that itcked even the slightest inflection, I didnt know Zhan Yao would call you. I will make it clear with him so that such misunderstandings wont happen again. Tian Ye: She was lost for words She nodded her head and hurriedly left. The sound of her heels echoed in the hallway, sounding scattered and chaotic. But she couldnt care less. Rushing outside, she quickly left without looking back. Rong An glimpsed the womans retreating figure and moved forward to gently close the door. **
    In the hospital room. The door was opened and then closed again. Mo Weiyi stood there until a deep male voice suddenly rang out. Come here.
    Mo Weiyi didnt respond. Weiyi. Xiao Yebai looked at her delicate but cold face and opened his thin lips, I am thirsty; could youe and give me some water? Mo Weiyi thought about the scene she had witnessed when she entered the room just now and couldnt help but respond sarcastically, Thirsty? Why dont you call Tian Ye back? Xiao Yebai, without changing his expression, said, Weiyi, are you jealous? Mo Weiyi retorted, Xiao Yebai, as my husband, do you think its right to be alone in a room with another woman? Have you thought about the feelings of your wife? Dont forget, we have not divorced yet! I didnt know she woulde. The mans response was still indifferent. Huh. Mo Weiyi sneered, Didnt know, and yet you let her feed you water? I didnt get the chance to drink. So you mean, if I didnte, you would have drunk it? Mo Weiyi directly pointed out the w in his words, Xiao Yebai, let me rify this to you. As long as we are not divorced, you, Xiao Yebai, will always be my man, Mo Weiyis man! You cannot do anything to wrong me. Regardless of your feelings towards anyone else, you must control yourself! The room fell silent. Only after Mo Weiyi finished did she realize thatshe had swore. Actually, she did not have much aversion to swearing. In high school, she and Su Wanwan rebelled intensely.
    Compared to rebelling activities such as going to nightclubs, learning to smoke, learning to drink, fighting, wearing all kinds of bizarre clothes, and so on, swearing was really trivial. But she always maintained the image of a sweet and adorable little princess in front of Xiao Yebai. Even when she was caught in a bar once, she still spoke to him in a soft and gentle voice. This was the first time Looking at Xiao Yebais deep, ck eyes, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt like she had nowhere to hide. She knew that she was not calm right now, but she couldnt help it; she couldnt control her anger. As expected, Xiao Yebai looked at her and said, Weiyi, you are jealous. This time, it was a definitive statement. Mo Weiyi immediately turned her face away. She ignored him. The room returned to silence. But soon, Mo Weiyi turned back and asked, Xiao Yebai, how far have things progressed between you and my cousin? Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebai, who had been expressionless since she entered the room, finally showed a change in his expression. He squinted his eyes, as if assessing, You know about this?
    Yes, even though you did everything you could to hide it from me, I found out anyway. Thats why I want to ask you now, how far have you gone with Qu Yunyao? What have you done together? What happened in the garden that day? We did nothing. These five words were Xiao Yebais reply to her pressing questions. This sinct response was, of course, not going to satisfy Mo Weiyi. She quickly asked, Then why did you hide it from me? Xiao Yebai looked at her, his gaze deep and calm, without the cover of sses, his inky eyes were like the deep sea at midnight, inscrutable and unpredictable. Chapter 528: 528, lets get a divorce. Chapter 528: 528, lets get a divorce. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his gaze deep and cool. Without the cover of sses, his eyes were as deep and inscrutable as the deepest depths of the sea, unfathomable and unknowable. After a while, he broke the silence, You know now. What do you mean? Mo Weiyi didnt understand. Everything has been resolved. After Xiao Yebai finished speaking, a hint of impatience appeared on his face, My throat is dry, I cant talk much. Mo Weiyi: Damn it. Arent we still not divorced? Xiao Yebai casually nced at the cup of water on the bedside table, If you dont want to give me a drink, please call a nurse over. Mo Weiyi red at him straight away with her beautiful cat-like eyes. This damn man, was he intentionally pulling the injured-hero trick? Even thoughpared to his usually dapper professional image, him in hospital clothes, furrowing his brows, did indeed seem a bit haggard and pale.
    A few secondster, Mo Weiyi went over, picked up the cup of water from the bedside table. When Xiao Yebai thought her conscience had been stirred and that she was going to feed him, Mo Weiyi suddenly tilted her hand. All the warm water in the cup was poured onto the ground. Until it waspletely spilled and drained. Xiao Yebai: After pouring out the entire cup of water, Mo Weiyi curled her red lips, This cup has to be cleaned, its dirty. Then, she turned around and went into the bathroom. Xiao Yebai sat on the hospital bed, watching her slender figure until she disappeared, the sound of running watering from the bathroom. The man quietly pursed his thin lips, the corners lifting in a hardly noticeable smirk. Mo Weiyi quickly finished washing the cup and came back, then looked around the room. As if he knew what she was looking for, Xiao Yebai opened his mouth, The water dispenser is next to the sofa. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, didnt say a word, but still went over to get some warm water, then sat down on the chair by the bed. However Mo Weiyi had never taken care of a sick person before, so she hesitated before she picked up the spoon, scooped a full spoon of water, and handed it over hesitantly. Her eyes were so focused on the water surface that was almost overflowing that she didnt notice the expression on the mans face, nor the change of emotion in his eyes. When she got close, she saw his lips tightly pursed, and she impatiently opened her mouth, Open your mouth. As soon as Xiao Yebai opened his mouth, she immediately shoved the spoon in. As a result of her abrupt movement
    Though the water was fed, much of it spilled down the corners of his mouth. Her delicate face crinkled instantly, Mo Weiyi pulled out a few tissues, and hurriedly wiped his chin. Once she dropped the tissue, his voice suddenly came, Theres still water on my neck. Mo Weiyi looked, and sure enough there was.
    So she had to pull out a few more tissues and wiped his slender and pale neck lightly. Then, she picked up the spoon again, about to scoop up water Take a little less water. Mo Weiyi was instantly displeased, she raised her eyes to re at him, Drink or not, you choose! Xiao Yebai responded calmly, Ill drink. Maybe it was because she didnt expect him to be sopliant, Mo Weiyi was instantly struck dumb. She pursed her lips but, nevertheless, poured a bit of water out of the spoon before handing it to him. The rest of the process went much smoother. Mo Weiyi kept feeding, and Xiao Yebai kept drinking. Until he finished a whole bowl of water, she put down the small bowl, Now that youve drunk water and your throat isnt dry anymore, you can keep talking. Xiao Yebai looked at her, What do you want me to say? Mo Weiyi said seriously, Xiao Yebai, while I was staying in the countryside these past two days, I thought a lot about things. I couldnt make up my mind, but on my way here just now, I finally figured it out. After 10 years, I really feel tired. I dont want to keep going on like this. She took a deep breath, Xiao Yebai, lets get a divorce.
    She thought those few words would be hard and painful to say, yet when she said them, Mo Weiyi felt they werent as difficult as shed imagined. The room was utterly silent. The man, sitting in the hospital bed, looked calmly at her, his voice low and maic, Are you sure? Mo Weiyi nodded, Im sure. Have you really thought it through? he asked again. Mo Weiyi nodded again, I have. Xiao Yebais expression remained unchanged, he opened his mouth coldly and said, Weiyi, after the divorce, I wont be your man anymore. I might leave Nancheng, you might never see me again, and next time you see me, there might be another woman by my side, we might even have children None of that is my business! Mo Weiyi interrupted him fiercely. If thats the case. Xiao Yebais handsome features tightened slightly, yet his tone remained as calm as ever, so calm that Mo Weiyi couldnt detect any emotional fluctuations, You can tell Grandpa. Mo Weiyi gripped her fingers tightly. The sharp nail dug into her delicate palm, causing a throbbing pain. Is that all?
    Thats his reaction? With a heart that was severely wounded, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt likeughing at this moment. Just as he said, the decision was all hers. Ten years of feelings, could really be abandoned with just one sentence from her. And he didnt care about it all, didnt even want to fight for it. Fine. Mo Weiyi nodded again, then picked up her phone. As she was dialing the number, she hesitated for a moment, then finally chose to call Mo Yaoxiongs number. Chapter 529: 529, have you fallen for another man? Chapter 529: 529, have you fallen for another man? As she was about to make a call, she hesitated for a bit, finally deciding to dial Mo Yaoxiongs number. Master Mos heart has always been in poor condition, and his health seemed to be degrading these past few years. Not long ago, he had been hoping for her to get pregnant quickly so she could bear him a great-grandson. She didnt want to deliver such a blunt blow to the old man, considering she herself found the situation too abrupt. Mo Yaoxiongs phone was quickly picked up. Weiyi, whats wrong? Dad. Mo Weiyis voice was hoarse. I want a divorce. She looked at the man lying in the hospital bed, his pallid face staring back at her. It was unclear which of her words had struck a nerve with him, but his thin lips suddenly curved into a cold smile. Mo Weiyi promptly turned her back to him, not wanting the man to see her face. On the other end of the line, Mo Yaoxiong was clearly taken aback. What? His voice escted in volume, carrying disbelief. Weiyi! What on earth are you saying! I said, I want a divorce. Mo Weiyi spoke once more, her words deliberate and serious. Weve already discussed this, so
    Nonsense! Mo Yaoxiong yelled out. Do you understand what youre saying? Marriage is not a childs game! Hand the phone to Yebai, I want to know whats going on. Theres no need to ask him, weve already decided together. Hand him the phone! I just called to tell you, everythings okay. Mo Weiyi finished her sentence and hung up immediately. After gathering herself, she turned around again to look at the man lying in bed. Ive said my piece. The man sitting on the hospital bed met her eyes. I told you to call Grandpa. Mo Weiyi touched her lips. My grandpa isnt well. This situation is too abrupt, I dont want to scare him. She believed her exnation to be quite reasonable. Who would have known that the mans mockery would be even more apparent at her words. Is that so? Mo Weiyi held her breath, about to respond, when a ringtone echoed through the room. It was Xiao Yebais phone. The man nced at the call disy, his initial tone of mockery instantly turned cold. Hand me the phone. Mo Weiyi made a grimace, Cant you reach it yourself? Being kind enough to bring him water was already a stretch! Xiao Yebai looked at her calmly, I am unwell. Mo Weiyi: Despite her annoyance, she walked over to hand him the phone. When she picked it up, she noticed the caller ID disy. Frowning slightly, she handed him the phone and then stood still, listening attentively. Xiao Yebai answered the call. Dad.
    His handsome face didnt reveal any emotion. Whatever Mo Yaoxiong was saying on the other end, he responded, Im in the hospital, Weiyi is here with me. Im feeling a bit unwell.
    Yes, she wants to divorce. Upon hearing these words, Mo Weiyi almost failed to control her twitching expression. Damn it. This damn man! What does he mean by its her wanting a divorce? Although he wasnt entirely wrong, but still Xiao Yebai nced at her casually with partially lifted eyelids, pushing the phone toward her. My dad wants to talk to you. Mo Weiyi wondered what else there could possibly be to say. As she didnt take the phone, Xiao Yebai put it back on the nightstand. As if it were an exhausting chore to keep holding it. Mo Weiyi stole a nce at it. The call was still active.
    She could vaguely hear Mo Yaoxiongs voice After a while, she gave in and picked up the phone. Dad. Mo Yaoxiong asked on the other end, Weiyi, have you fallen for another man? Mo Weiyi was speechless: Who is he? Whats his name? Weiyi, answer me! Mo Yaoxiong continued to probe. There isnt. MO Weiyi replied impatiently, while shooting a re at the man on the bed. Mo Yaoxiong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Thats good to hear. Weiyi, Yebai is rtively cold in disposition, but he has you in his heart. Over the years, he has done a lot for thepany, for the Mo family. As his wife, you should understand him. Unless its an issue of fundamental principles, dont casually bring up the topic of divorce. I didnt bring it up casually. Mo Weiyis voice was cold. I genuinely want a divorce. On the bed, the man narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing colder. Tell me the room number, Im on my way right now. Mo Yaoxiong was roaring with anger. Mo Weiyi ryed the room number and added, While youre at it, send a couple of servants over. After hanging up, she ced the phone back. Now that everything is settled, Im leaving. To where?
    Mo Weiyi casually ran her fingers through her fluffy hair, acting nonchnt. Were getting divorced, why do you care where I go? You still havent answered my question from earlier. What question? Mo Weiyi was slightly impatient. Why didnt you call Grandpa? Didnt we already go through this? I said my grandpa isnt in good health, he cant take sudden shocks. Liar. Mo Weiyi stared at him, unable to hold back her sarcasm. Or what? Are you afraid that Grandpa, once informed, would force you into submission again? Or perhaps punish you? Can you please stop ttering yourself? Ive already said it, I had thought this through before deciding to divorce. I have also considered all the possible consequences after the divorce. As expected, Xiao Yebais handsome silhouette turned icy cold. His deep eyes narrowed, his jawline taut. Beneath it was a visibleyer of anger, or perhaps hostility? Mo Weiyi watched him askance, feeling an odd sense of satisfaction welling up inside of her. Chapter 530: 530, do you really see yourself as a princess? Chapter 530: 530, do you really see yourself as a princess? She suddenly arched her red lips, smiling sweetly and harmlessly, My dad will be here soon, and hell be bringing servants to take care of you. Dont worry, he still cares about you. Even though were divorced and youre no longer my husband, your status in the Mo family wont change. In other words, all the problems youve mentioned before will not happen. You will still be the president of the Mo Group, still be the son of the Mo family, and that is to say Mo Weiyis smile grew more unbridled, and he clearly spit out a few words, My brother. Brother? The mans voice was as low as it could get, full of obvious irony and even humiliation, When you were eighteen and entered my bedroom, so eager for me to touch you, didnt you think of me as your brother then? Mo Weiyis once pretty and mboyant face abruptly stiffened from shock. It took a good while to suppress his anger and grind out between clenched teeth, Like you said, that was when I was eighteen, only eighteen, what did I know? I was even engaged to Chu Xiuhuang back then, and I have also seen men hooking up with men in a bar. Xiao Yebais cold thin lips slowly curved up, So what youre saying is, when you entered my room and took the initiative to do those things with me, then made me take responsibility and marry you afterwards, it was all because you were young and naive? Mo Weiyis small face blushed furiously, but she did not back down, Yes. Heh. The mans thin lips curved even more, Mo Weiyi, just because people call you a princess, do you really think youre a princess? What do you mean? In this world, there are things you can want and discard as you like, but I am not one of them. The man articted every word piercingly, There is no such thing as having your cake and eating it too, do you understand?
    Dont you daremand me! Mo Weiyi felt a little panicked. She knew Xiao Yebai was cold and ruthless, but whenever he faced her, he always seemed to restrain his emotions, probably because he was part of the Mo family. After their marriage, he has never spoken to her with such an attitude before. She defiantly lifted her chin, Anyway, I want a divorce now, I dont want you anymore, were over! It ends here! The reason. The reason? Mo Weiyi scoffed and turned to leave. Mo Weiyi! The mans voice was huskily dark, the clear anger in it echoing around the room. Ignoring him, Mo Weiyi walked straight to the door, reaching out to open it when she heard a crashing sound from behind. It sounded like something was knocked over on the ground. She was taken aback and couldnt control herself, stopping and turning around. To her surprise, the man had actually gotten out of bed. The needle in the back of his hand had been pulled out, and the stand for his IV drip bag was knocked over on the floor. Xiao Yebai, clothed in a thin hospital gown with blue and white stripes, walked towards her. His handsome features were grimly taut, revealing an obvious fury. Even his eyes were incredibly ferocious, chillingly dark and sinister. Mo Weiyi was somewhat unnerved by this mans demeanor. She slowly stepped back until her back was against the solid door. Xiao Yebai came forward, lifting his finger to pinch her delicate jaw. His beautiful dark eyes were like a stormy deep sea, stirring frantically.
    What What are you trying to do? Mo Weiyi stuttered, swallowing nervously. This Xiao Yebai, so dangerously unpredictable, was too alien and oppressive to her. Moreover, his hold was too strong; Mo Weiyis jaw ached. She tried to push him away, but he quickly seized control of her hand.
    She struggled, feeling warm liquid dripping onto her hand. Mo Weiyi looked down and almost died of fright. Her hand, which Xiao Yebai was gripping, was entirely covered in blood! Blood was oozing due to the pressure applied, staining her hand too Youre bleeding! She felt dizzy at the sight of blood, didnt dare to look again, but the man seemed deaf to her words. His arm was like a steel wall pressing her, his voice rising coldly, Tell me the reason. Mo Weiyis jaw ached, her shoulders and back felt even worse. But she didnt want to give in. She looked up at the handsome face close to her and said, How many times do I have to tell you? The reason is that Im tired, fed up, and Ive gotten sick of it! Really? Xiao Yebai suddenly let out a low, ghostly chuckle. Mo Weiyi hadnt even had time to react before her jaw was suddenly tightened. She struggled desperately, but soon even her knees were pinned down by him.
    Finally managing to break free, she heard his mocking voice near her ear, Now you resist? Xiao Yebai, dont touch me! Mo Weiyi screamed hysterically, Were already getting divorced and yet youre still doing this, arent you annoying Her jaw was gripped painfully. She felt like a puppet pinned against the door, with no escape. In desperation, Mo Weiyi gritted her teeth and bit down hard. The man let out a muffled grunt. Mo Weiyi thought that he would loosen his grip from the pain. To her surprise, a strong metallic taste of blood rapidly spread everywhere. Has this man gone crazy? Mo Weiyi slowly gave up struggling. Forget it. Its not the first time he has kissed her anyway. Why struggle and make herself suffer? The womans sudden reaction seemed to surprise Xiao Yebai.
    He slowly pulled away, narrowed his dark pupils, and looked at her, breathing heavily. His jaw was stained with a trace of blood, adding a certain captivating allure to his handsome face. Why did you stop? Mo Weiyi provocatively looked at him. For the first time in her life, she realized how strong her desire for revenge was. Looking at the renewed rage in his eyes, she chuckled softly. As she was about to say something, she noticed that the blood on his jaw was trickling down, more and more of it. The blood kept flowing, quickly turning his lips and chin red, falling on his corbone, and even staining his patient gown. When Xiao Yebai suddenly coughed, a hot humid fluid sprayed on her neck, and Mo Weiyi couldnt help but scream, Ahhhhhhhhh! * * The doctor was hurriedly called over. Those who needed to stop bleeding did so, those who had to conduct checks did so, the ward was thrown into chaos. Mo Weiyi stood in the corner, her whole body cold, still somewhat unsettled. After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally spoke, What happened here? Wasnt he supposed to be on an IV and resting? How did he get out of bed? And spit blood again?
    Mo Weiyi couldnt say a word. This is absolutely ridiculous! Relying on his youth, he doesnt cherish his own health. Does he think hes invincible? Let me tell you, the situation already looks very bad. IV treatment is conservative, but if the acute massive hemorrhage continues, he may need surgery to remove the stomach and even face life-threatening risks! Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyis eyes immediately reddened. Life-threatening? Is it so serious? She thought it was just a stomach upset Mo Weiyi looked at the man on the bed. His eyes were closed as hey there, whether due to the pain, or because of what just happened His brows were furrowed, his face pale, and he had no response to what the doctor said. * * Outside the ward, perhaps seeing the young girl was frightened, the doctor softened his tone, You can rx. The patients condition is temporarily under control. He needs to have IV treatment every day, avoid food, and rest. Make sure what happened just now does not happen again, understand? Mo Weiyi nodded, Alright. The doctor went on to reiterate some precautions until footsteps could be heard approaching. Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiong rushed over looking worn and haggard. Upon seeing her father, Mo Weiyi almost burst into tears, Dad What happened? Mo Yaoxiongs brow furrowed. After hearing what the doctor had to say, his expression became more grave, Yebai is so seriously ill, why didnt you tell me? I didnt know Youre his wife and you didnt know that your husband is in this state? And you even argued with him in the ward? When will you start bing more sensible, huh? I didnt Mo Weiyi felt indescribably wronged. Mo Yaoxiong looked annoyed and turned to Rong An, Take good care of the young master here. Yes. Weiyi,e with me! After saying this, Mo Yaoxiong left. Mo Weiyi could only follow. Mo Yaoxiong led her to his car parked downstairs. Xiaoli, wait for us outside. Okay, sir. After the driver left and closed the door, Mo Yaoxiong looked at his daughter, Weiyi, tell me honestly, whats going on between you and Yebai? Chapter 531: 531, isnt an adopted son also a son? Chapter 531: 531, isnt an adopted son also a son? When the driver left and the car door closed, Mo Yaoxiong turned to his daughter, Weiyi, be honest with me, whats going on between you and Yebai? Mo Weiyi lowered her head. There were still traces of unvanquished blood stains on her hands and clothes, a frightful sight she has yet to wash away. Just thinking about Xiao Yebai vomiting blood earlier made her heart ache as if it was being shed by a knife. Wasnt it you who was constantly following him around, insisting on marrying him? Mo Yaoxiongs voice echoed once more. How long have you been married? Two years? Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, looking up at her father, But we cant carry on. Nonsense! Mo Yaoxiong said sternly, There are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, have you fallen for someone else? Dad? Mo Weiyi eximed, Why dont you ask whether it is he who has fallen for someone else? Yebai will not fall for another woman. Mo Weiyi was even more surprised, How do you know?
    Mo Yaoxiong squinted his piercing eyes, If he could fall for another, he would have done that a long time ago. Would he have waited for you to marry him? Despised by her own father, Mo Weiyi was both angry and dissatisfied, Dad, what do you mean by that? Am I really that inferior? Mo Yaoxiong said, Anyway, I will never agree to a divorce, so put that idea out of your mind. Why? No reason. Mo Yaoxiong said in a decisive tone. Mo Weiyi frowned, Then you might as well imagine that Ive fallen for someone else, I no longer have feelings for him, I want a divorce. Whos the man youve fallen for? Not yet, but I just dont love him anymore. Weiyi, cant you be more sensible? Mo Yaoxiong said in a tone of angered helplessness, Yebai is busy dealing with thepanys affairs every day. The scale of the Mo family is getting bigger. From top to bottom, he is the only one in charge of all the staff. Now, at the end of the year, all the branches have so much work, they are busy to the point of vomiting blood and getting hospitalized. Instead of understanding and giving him space, youre throwing tantrums at this time? Do you have to trouble him with such trivial matters? I dont think this is a trivial matter. Mo Weiyi pouted and looked at her father with grievance. In a marriage, if theres no feelings, should we still continue living together? Mo Yaoxiongs tone remained cold and hard, Even without feelings, you two must continue. Why? Mo Weiyi truly couldnt understand. Under the illumination of the cars lights, Mo Yaoxiongs features were tense. His brow furrowed sternly, You are the Mo familys daughter, you should understand that for the sake of thepany, for the Mo family, you cant divorce Yebai. I dont get it, what does my divorce have to do with thepany? Even if hes not my husband, hes still my brother in name. He can still stay in the Mo family and continue working for thepany, right? Isnt an adopted son still a son? Hearing this, Mo Yaoxiongs expression changed slightly, and then he said, Its not that simple, and Ive promised your mother, I wont let you divorce. Mo Weiyi was immediately left speechless, My mom has been gone for four years. Mentioning Xu Xian, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly went quiet and heavy. After a long while, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, Weiyi, your mother and I only had you. Your grandfather is old, he can die any day now. I dont have enough energy to manage the three things going on in the Mo family. Do you understand what Im saying?
    Mo Weiyi shook her little head. Sigh. Mo Yaoxiong decided not to say more. He nced at the time, Dont worry, Yebai wont cheat, hes a very responsible man. He once personally promised your mother he would take care of you for a lifetime. Mo Weiyi looked at her father, her heart was stunned.
    She was only sixteen when Xu Xian passed away. She was the one who initiated intimacy with Xiao Yebai when she was eighteen. Before that, Xiao Yebai was indifferent to her, how could he have promised to take care of her at such an early stage? Then she asked, Does an elder brother take care of his younger sister like this? After getting married, hes your husband, and will only be your husband in the future. Mo Yaoxiong said seriously, I will consider this matter as if it never happened. Grandpas heart is not good, he cant be overstimted. If you have any filial piety left, discard the idea of having a divorcepletely. Go back and have a good talk with Yebai. Discuss any issues openly Dad. Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted him, Why didnt you tell me that Yunyao likes him? Did Yebai tell you? Do you think thats possible? What do you mean? Mo Weiyi said, My aunt told me. Xu Jing? Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, lowered his voice and said, I only found out about it when I checked her mobile. I didnt tell you because I feared that you would overthink and get emotional once you know about it. Your grandfather thought the same. We asked Yebai about it, turns out its Yunyaos unrequited love. Really? Or else what could it be? Yebai is a very rational man, he wont do such an outrageous thing. You dont need to doubt this. Mo Weiyi fell silent.
    Yes, Xiao Yebai is very rational, especially when dealing with women. So when Xu Jing said those words, even though she was furious, she knew deep down that Xiao Yebai would not have done anything with Qu Yunyao. Contrarily, she was more concerned about Tian Ye. Chapter 532: 532, love will always deteriorate Chapter 532: 532, love will always deteriorate Because Tian Ye is the third woman to know Xiao Yebai for the longest time, after herself and Xiao Zhiwei. Xiao Zhiwei has a blood rtionship with him, and Xiao Yebai only sees her as a sister. But what about Tian Ye? She and Xiao Yebai were ssmates at the research institute, she had spent five years at school with him, two more back in the country C a total of seven years. Even Mo Weiyi herself only found out about Tian Ye after so long. But in such a short time after she found out, Tian Ye began taking frequent actions which caused a whole lot of trouble. Given her knowledge, appearance, and understanding and familiarity with Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi felt that if they really did get divorced, Tian Ye would be the most likely one. Because it seems that Xiao Yebai isnt particrly resistant to her either If you insist on a divorce, I suppose you can, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly changed his tune. Mo Weiyi was surprised. In the next second, Unless you can find a man more suitable than Yebai to take over Mo Group.
    A man more suitable than Xiao Yebai to take over Mo Group? Obviously there was no such answer. Mo Weiyi looked at her father, Dad, in your eyes, is my husband just here to take over thepany? So the reason she wouldnt let her divorce Xiao Yebai wasnt because of anything else, but for thepany! Mo Yaoxiongs gaze was sharp, Id rather have you take overit only you were capable? The legal documents I asked you to review a few months ago, have you reviewed them? I Mo Weiyi was once again splendidly scorned by her father. She had indeed forgotten the matterpletely. Even if she had been studying hard for these two months, she was basically busy with schoolwork. I have been fostering Yebai for so many years, just to let him take over thepany, what did you think? So I understand now, if you had adopted another man instead of Xiao Yebai, you would have married me off to him. You didnt do this for my happiness, you just wanted an heir for Mo Familys business, is that it? Weiyi, your hypothetical has no meaning. I adopted Yebai and you happened to love him. Was your marriage with him forced upon you by me? Back then, didnt you desperately want to marry him? Have I forced you into anything from beginning to end? Once again, Mo Weiyi couldnt say anything. Yes, it was her who was desperate back then, and the old man Mo did everything he was told. During that time, Mo Yaoxiong was busy with thepany every day and was quite surprised when he found out that she had slept with Xiao Yebai. But since old man Mo had made the decision, as a son, he had nothing to say. After marriage, Xiao Yebai quickly rose to the top and Mo Yaoxiong began to step down from thepany You should take care of Yebai here tonight. Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi instantly rebounded, I wont!
    How did Yebai take care of you when you were hurt? At that time, there was an issue with a case in thepany and he was busy working overtime. Then you fell off the bed in the middle of the night, your grandpa was furious and pped him twice in public, you already forgot? Weiyi, you should learn to grow up, think carefully before you act. Dont always be like a child. When you like something, you just grab it. When you dont like it anymore, you want to throw it away? What do you think of Yebai your husband like? A piece of clothing or a piece of jewelry? In any case, I will not agree with the divorce. Even if you really have no feelings for him, you need to learn how to get along in peace. Sometimes maintaining a marriage doesnt necessarily require love tost. Mo Weiyi suddenly said, So Dad, did you and Mom have feelings for each other back then?
    Mo Yaoxiong was stunned. Looking at his daughters innocent and beautiful face, he slightly wrinkled his brow, Of course we had feelings, but over time, love changes. In the end, it basically turns into family love, and whats more, its a kind of responsibility. Do you understand? In the darkness, Mo Weiyi stood in the garage, watching the ck Audi slowly drive away. It wasnt until the car lights disappeared from view that she turned around and walked towards the hospital building. It was difficult to summon the courage to ask for a divorce, but she didnt expect the result to turn out like this. Mo Weiyi even wanted tough a bit. It seemed that she had no freedom to divorce. But She had so earnestly proposed a divorce, now like this, it seemed as if she was just pretending to mystify people. ** By the time she returned to the ward, it was already after 11 at night. Rong An immediately came to wee her, Princess, its not early, should I send you back first? Mo Weiyi nced at the closed door, How is he doing?
    A caregiver is looking after him, they said hes already asleep. Rong An looked at Mo Weiyi, and after a few seconds, he changed his mind, Or should I get Aunt Zhou to send some things over. Having known Mo Weiyi for so many years, and seeing how she always wore her heart on her sleeve, it wasnt hard for him to see that she was very worried about Xiao Yebai. Just as he was about to pick up his phone Theres no need, Ill check on him and then leave. Rong An: Mo Weiyi pushed open the door and walked in. The ward was a deluxe VIP suite, luxurious and elegant, warm and cozy, with a separate family rest room on the side. At this moment, in therge space, there was only a man lying on the hospital bed. Only a floormp was on, the room was quiet, the light dim. It seemed like he really was asleep, she stood at the door watching for a while, and there was no reaction. Not muchter, Mo Weiyi came out, Take me back to the mansion. Okay.
    Chapter 533: 533, did I say I was going to the hospital to see him? Chapter 533: 533, did I say I was going to the hospital to see him? Mo Weiyi was quiet all the way home. Rong An kept ncing at the rearview mirror as she focused on the road. When they arrived at the Lishui Bay Vi, Mo Weiyi instructed the servants to take her suitcase to the guest room. It was veryte. As she entered the bathroom and took off her coat, she noticed that her neck was sttered with blood, so was her white undershirt. The sight was horrifying. Looking at the blood, Mo Weiyi seemed to relive the moment when the man pressed her against the door. His gaze was deep and stormy, a clear sign of his anger. Mo Weiyi didnt understand. If he were so ready for her to talk to his grandfather about divorce, why would he get so angry when she brought it up? Angry enough to cough up blood? ** The next morning.
    Aunt Zhou was preparing the thermos. Upon seeing Mo Weiyi descend the stairs, she immediately said, Princess, Ive asked the doctor. Master Xiao needs to fast for the next few days, so I made some chicken soup for you to bring him. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, Me, take it to him? Yes. Did I say I was going to the hospital to see him? Mo Weiyi turned around and stretched, The suns rather nice today, Aunt Zhou. Please move my lounge chair to the balcony. I want to read there. Alright, Aunt Zhou could only agree. The chicken soup was sent to the hospital by the driver instead. In the hospital room, Zhan Yao asked Xiao Yebai, Are you okay? I heard from the doctor that you coughed up blood against night? I wont die. The mans voice was cold, and his face even colder. It was already quite cold in Nancheng today, but Zhan Yao felt the hospital room was even colder, as if it were a freezer. The cold wind sent chills down his spine. After a few coughs, Zhan Yao walked around the room. This was no doubt a high-end VIP room, more luxurious than his own home, opulent to the extreme. However Why was the room so empty, without even a single bouquet of flowers? Zhan Yao couldnt help but ask, Why are you here all by yourself? Wheres your little princess? Why isnt there even a single maid? I mean,e on, the CEO of the Mo Family, shouldnt be this pitiful when hes sick, right? Xiao Yebai answered coldly, Didnt you say she couldnte because shes in the countryside? Zhan Yao coughed, Alright, alright, I deliberately lied to you yesterday. I heard from Tian Ye that the little princess didest night. Where is she now? Dare to mention Tian Ye? An icy shiver ran down Zhan Yaos spine, What happened? Xiao Yebai squinted his ck pupils and turned his face toward the window.
    Dont tell me, you had a falling out with the little princess over Tian Ye? Xiao Yebai remained silent. But the answer was crystal clear. Zhan Yao pped his thigh, Damn it, then Im to me. I thought I could bring Tian Ye to the hospital to provoke the little princess a bit, let her know youre still popr with thedies, and make her realize she should treasure you. Now I got it!
    He pointed at Xiao Yebai, Given your taciturn nature, you certainly didnt exin, did you? So the little princess misunderstood that you and Tian Ye were having an affair, didnt she? Damn it, you just had to shoot yourself in the foot, ying mute all day; who are you trying to impress? The little princess is your wife. Do you really need to treat her with such aloofness? Zhan Yao did all the talking while Xiao Yebai remained expressionless. It was past nine, and no one from the Mo Family came to visit, not even anything to eat Zhan Yao felt sorry for him, took out his phone and said, Well then, you rest up. Im gonna step out. Outside the hospital room, Zhan Yao dialed Mo Weiyi directly, Little princess, are you at Lishui Bay? What is it? Nothing much, see youter. Zhan Yao hung up after saying this. ** Mo Weiyi put down her phone and resumed her reading. The wind was strong today; the sky of Nancheng was blown to a clear blue, free of any clouds. Therge ss window kept the chilly wind outside while the warm winter sun streamed in, scattering patches of light on the floor. Lying on the chaise lounge, covered in soft, heavy nkets, she grew drowsy after a while of reading. That was until her phone rang again.
    Mo Weiyi picked up the call, slightly annoyed. Ling Zhizhou? Hello. Senior sister, I have arrived at Xu Garden Vige. Where are you? Huh? Mo Weiyi frowned, But I returned home yesterday. Really? Ling Zhizhous voice was clearly disappointed, Thats too bad. I told you yesterday that I wasing to see you in these two days. I apologize, my husband was suddenly hospitalized, so Is Master Xiao okay? Ling Zhizhou immediately asked. Nothing serious. Mo Weiyi didnt want to dwell on it, Im a little busy right now, lets meet up next time when Im free. Okay, senior sister, take care of yourself. Mhm. ** In an old-style courtyard in Xu Garden Vige.
    After hanging up, Ling Zhizhous handsome face darkened. His fingers clutched the phone tightly, his backhand turned dark from the cold, while his knuckles were turning white from the force. After a while, a chilly voice broke the silence, What, another failure? Ling Zhizhou whirled around, Are you stalking me? The man in ck smirked, Zhizhou, how many times have I told you, youre not cut out for this. Chapter 534: 534, intelligent women, should never obsess over trivial matters too much. Chapter 534: 534, intelligent women, should never obsess over trivial matters too much. The man was dressed in ck, the corner of his thin lips twisted in a wicked cold smile, Zhizhou, how many times have I told you before, youre not capable. What does it matter to you? I was also a victim. And how are you nning on revenge? Get close to her? Follow her like a puppy? Kneel and lick her feet like a dog, every day? Yet she still sees you as a little brother, is it worth it? What do you know? Ling Zhizhou gritted his teeth, I want the Mo Family to taste the pain of losing their loved ones! I want to make them hurt! To make every single one of them endure unbearable pain, hoping for death but unable to die! In that case, I can help you. I dont need your help. Zhizhou, why are you always repulsed by me? The man fixed his gaze on the young man, his words filled with contempt, You are only eighteen, your abilities are limited. Besides, no matter how you look at it, youre my younger brother. It should be me, your older brother, who should bear the dangerous matters. No! Zhizhou, dont tell me youve fallen for that little princess, fear that I might hurt her? Ling Zhizhous face registered ufortableness, he vehemently denied, What nonsense are you talking about? Thats impossible.
    For the best. The man took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself. Through the curling smoke, he suddenly said, There is a birthday party in a few days. The invitees are all prominent figures from Nancheng. The Mo Family has also epted the invitation. Ling Zhizhou looked at him, his face wary, What are you nning to do? The mans eyes squinted inughter, Create a little trouble for your little princess first. Ling Zhizhou: ** Lishui Bay Vi. Mo Weiyi was surprised by Zhan Yaos arrival. Far more so by his first sentence, Little Princess, arent you going to visit Yebai at the hospital? Mo Weiyi sank into the soft sofa, his delicate little hand holding a warm cup. His expression waszy, his tone nonchnt, The servants are taking care of him. Really? When I was in the ward just now, there was no one there. Not even a single ss of water, its too deste! Respected Mo Familys president is sick, yet theres no one to take care of him. Zhan Yao exaggeratedlymented. Mo Weiyi felt strange but kept a cid expression, Last night, my father arranged for two servants to take care of him. They must have gone out to buy something. Really? I was in the room for nearly half an hour and didnt see anyone, Zhan Yao looked at Mo Weiyi, Little Princess, you should go to the hospital and check on him. He must be waiting for you to take care of him. Huh. Mo Weiyi lifted the corners of her lips lightly, disying a faint smile, You can call back to Tian Ye, let her take care of him. His heart seemed to have sunk, Zhan Yaos face was quite awkward, Are you still having a misunderstanding? What misunderstanding did I have? Mo Weiyi countered. Zhan Yao was left with no choice but to exin, Its all my fault. I was simply frightened by that jerk yesterday who started spitting blood after half a bottle of alcohol. I was the one who carried him to the hospital. I deliberately called Tian Ye to stir up some trouble for him. Rest assured, Yebai definitely doesnt harbor any feelings for Tian Ye. If he did, he would have done something about it sooner, right? Now can you go and see Yebai at the hospital? Mo Weiyi remained silent. Zhan Yao looked at her cold demeanor and could not help but frown, Little Princess, has something happened between you and Yebai?
    He remembered that when he called yesterday, Mo Weiyi was in the countryside. Moreover, recently Xiao Yebai often asked him to drink, something rather umon in the past. Zhan Yao furrowed his brows, That jerk is a like a closed book, unwilling to show his feelings, but deep down, he cares about you very much. Hearing these words, Mo Weiyi felt likeughing, Are you joking?
    Is this your reaction? Zhan Yao raised an eyebrow, Didnt you know how worried Yebai was when you were in trouble? He was almost ready to sever our brotherhood, and even had Xiao Zhiwei locked up for a month, suffering quite a lot. A man who can disregard his own family for you, who doesnt give a thought even to his own sister, do you think you dont hold a ce in his heart? You mean Xiao Zhiwei? Did she also have something to do with that incident? That Song Quan used to date Xiao Zhiwei. You mean Xiao Zhiwei ordered that psycho to stalk me? Mo Weiyi was shocked. She had thought that Xiao Zhiwei simply had a serious case of sibling love, hence disliking her and always working against her. She never expected that she would harbor such malice toward her, even inciting that scumbag to harm her! Thats not all. Said Zhan Yao, shocking her, Another aplice is your ssmate, Li Feifei. Mo Weiyi was at aplete loss for words. In this matter, it started with Xiao Zhiweis instigating, and then since your bodyguard crippled that scumbag, Li Feifei coupled up with him, deliberately inviting you to her birthday party, taking you to the restroom downstairs, and then letting that scumbag find you, do you understand now? Mo Weiyis face turned pale. No wonder. At that time, Li Feifei intentionally called her to the downstairs restroom and immediately imed she needed to make a phone call. When things went awry, she screamed till her throat was raw, but no one came to help her. Mo Weiyi had her suspicions, but she instinctively didnt want to think that people were that bad. After all, besides the incident with Aunt Jiang, she didnt have any deep-seated resentment with Li Feifei, right? Little did she know
    Did Yebai not tell you about all this? Zhan Yao cursed, I have known this guy for seven years, he has always been like this, never liking to talk much about himself. I remember when we first entered school, we shared a dormitory. It was just the two of us, but he wouldnt speak, keeping such a low profile. If it werent for the fact that he aced the final exam and became the top student of the year,nded on stage as the representative of excellent students, and even received a schrship award from the American president, I seriously thought he was Japanese. By the way. He twirled with admiration, Do you know how many girls in the school liked him at that time? Your husband is so outstanding, good looking, and intelligent. No matter which countrys girl, no matter how beautiful, no matter how rich, he didnt give anyone any attention. There were even rumors that he was gay. I was previously puzzled, wondering whether this kid was asexual? Only after we returned to China, did I realize that there was a you in Nancheng. Mo Weiyi looked at Zhan Yao, a bit lost as she listened. During the years when Xiao Yebai was studying for his masters degree in the US, coincidentally, she was in high school, at the rebellious teenage stage. She had thought about going to America to find him several times, but each time, she never managed to make the trip. So, hearing all this now, it felt very novel, very foreign, even a bit unbelievable. Little Princess, let me give you a piece of advice. A wise woman should never overthink, especially when ites to a man like Yebai. You have so many twists and turns in your mind, he might just think youre baffling, or might think that you dont like him anymore. So whatever you have to say, just ask outright. I did ask, but he wouldnt answer. Of course he wont answer if youre asking if he likes or loves you, Zhan Yao couldnt help butugh, Look at me, Ive been his workhorse for so many years, done so many things, but never heard a word of thanks from him. Damn it, I dont even know why I still want to be friends with him. Mo Weiyi: Oh right, did Yebai vomit blood against night because of you? Seeing Mo Weiyis guilty expression, Zhan Yao clicked his tongue, I knew it. This kid is normally so calm and rarely drinks unless its for social asions or when hes with me. He drank so heavilyst night, knowing very well that his stomach is not good Although men are often self-destructive, Little Princess, the level of stress you are giving him needs to be measured. If you really anger him to death, wont you regret it? Mo Weiyi hadnt said a word when a flurry of footsteps suddenly sounded.
    Its not good! Aunt Zhou, still holding her cellphone, quickly said after ncing at the guests, Princess, Old Liu said that Young Master Xiao kicked him out and even spilled the chicken soup he brought. What to do? Princess, you should quickly go to the hospital to see Young Master Xiao. Is that little rascal doing this on purpose? Zhan Yao quickly concurred, Little Princess, Ive already said so much, arent you nning to go to the hospital to see him? After all that this lousy kid has done, isnt it just to tug your heartstrings and force you to visit him? Mo Weiyi said nothing but her phone rang again. Sure enough, once she picked up, Mo Yaoxiong exploded on the other end, Weiyi, I told you to stay in the hospitalst night to take good care of Yebai, why did you go home alone? And early in the morning, you even sent the servant away. What happened? Ah? I understand. Mo Weiyi said this and then hung up the phone. This damn man! Chapter 535: 535, do you still want to keep going well with me? Chapter 535: 535, do you still want to keep going well with me? Little Princess, I have to get back to the police station. If you have anything else you want to know, you can ask me, but you must keep it a secret for me afterwards. This stinker doesnt like me talking about his private affairs. If he finds out that Ive told you so much, itll be the death of me. Mo Weiyi lifted up her head, Okay. Zhan Yao looked at her, opened his mouth to say something, but didnt. In the end, he stood up, put on his coat, Yebai has really had it tough all these years. He worked hard on his studies while in school and has been fighting hard for the Mo Family since returning to Nancheng. But all this time, he doesnt even own a share in the Mo Family. Little Princess, you may not understand what I am saying, but I just hope that you can be a little nicer to him. Be nicer to him? Mo Weiyi doesnt understand, hasnt she been good enough to Xiao Yebai? Not to mention before they got married, in these two years since marriage, she has done almost everything to please her husband. There are many things that she would never have done in the past, such as knitting scarves, cooking, drawing Although she always fails every time, she has really tried hard. After Zhan Yao left, Aunt Zhou carefully began, Princess, Young Master Xiao has beening back after midnight every day recently. He is often drunk. Every morning when I clean up the bedroom, the table on the balcony is filled with empty liquor bottles. It seems that he cant sleep at night, so he resorts to drink heavily, destroying his health Im going upstairs. Mo Weiyi interrupted her, rising to walk towards the stairs. Aunt Zhou silently sighed
    Aunt Zhou, pour a bowl of chicken soup again. When Liu returns, I will take it to the hospital. Hearing this, Aunt Zhous face revealed a seemly unexpected joy, and she hurriedly nodded, Alright, princess! ** Mo Weiyi went upstairs, changed into a new outfit, then sat down at the dressing table and applied a refined light makeup on herself. She hasnt worn makeup for a long time. Initially, she was too busy studying at school, and she also kept a natural face when she went back to the countryside. After she finished her makeup, Mo Weiyi made a call to Zhong Kai. Today is a workday, so when he received a call from the princess, Zhong Kai was rather terrified, Princess, what can I do for you? Mo Weiyi asked him, Has there been many business social eventstely? Princess, are you referring to President Xiaos social events? Mo Weiyi: Zhong Kaiughed and said, Not really. But recently President Xiao has been working overtime every day, almost always leaving only at nine or ten at night. By the way, princess, I just called President Xiao. He said he wont being to thepany for the next two days. Did something happen? Hes not feeling well, hes been hospitalized. Mo Weiyi said indifferently. I see. Zhong Kai immediatelyplied obediently, Dont worry, princess. You just take care of President Xiao. Ill handle things at thepany. Ill report to you promptly if anythinges up. Okay. She hung up the phone and got up to go downstairs. About 10 minutester, Uncle Liu took her to the hospital. On the way, Mo Yaoxiong called again. Knowing that his daughter was on her way to the hospital, he finally hung up with peace of mind. ** By the time she arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon. The elevator was quite crowded.
    Mo Weiyi stood alone in the corner, holding a thermos in her hand, her delicate face seemed to carry a lot of worries. After the elevator door opened, she went to the ward and knocked on the door. No one answered. She pushed the door open without further ado.
    The man on the sickbed turned to look at her. Mo Weiyi looked at him, scowling, Are you deaf? Didnt you hear me knocking? Xiao Yebai looked straight at her with his hawk eyes, seemingly unresponsive to being scolded. Mo Weiyi closed the door and walked straight in. She nced around, the entire ward was neat and clean. There were no flowers or fruits, everything seemed deste and cold. She scoffed softly. Having reached the sickbed and cing the thermos down, Mo Weiyi turned to the indifferent man, Xiao Yebai, why did you send the maid away?'' The man finally opened his mouth, but his answer was irrelevant, You put on makeup. Yes, Im in a good mood, so I put on makeup. You used to wear makeup every day. Yes, because I was always in a good mood, just like today. Im in quite a good mood. Mo Weiyi curled up her red lips, smiling sweetly and beautifully, If you were nicer to me, my mood might be even better. What do you mean? Xiao Yebais eyes narrowed, looking deeper. Mo Weiyi looked at his handsome features, from his captivating peach blossom eyes, to his prominent nose, and finallynding on his thin lips.
    Looking at it, she suddenly bent over, her whole body leaning towards him. His usually calm and indifferent ck eyes flickered slightly. The two were very close. Face to face, just a little closer and their noses could touch. Mo Weiyi caught a familiar scent from him, mixed with a faint smell of disinfectant. Xiao Yebai. Her voice clear, soft, with a hint of yful charm, Do you still want to continue our rtionship? Xiao Yebai looked at her, his eyebrows jumped unexpectedly. But he didnt answer. So Mo Weiyi started getting angry again, Are you going to answer? Zhan Yao had told her so many things, so she persuaded herself toe see him, but she didnt expect him to be still so cold and unresponsive, seemingly immune to everything. If you dont answer, then Ill leave. After saying this, Mo Weiyi turned to leave, but her fingers were quickly caught by hisrge hands.
    Chapter 536: 536, Xiao Yebai, do you have me in your heart at all? Chapter 536: 536, Xiao Yebai, do you have me in your heart at all? Mo Weiyis heart twitched, and immediately she turned her eyes at him. The man sat there, his beautiful figure was as still as ever. However, he finally started to speak, Are you done arguing with me? What do you mean, am I done arguing with you? The icy front on Mo Weiyis noble and breathtaking face fell apart instantly, Xiao Yebai, do you even know what you did wrong? The man looked at her, as if genuinely clueless. Mo Weiyi angrily withdrew her hand and started to question him, Why did you send the maids away? Xiao Yebai lifted his thin lips slightly, They were too noisy. Why did you spill the chicken soup Aunt Zhou sent? Xiao Yebai responded unperturbedly, I didnt want to drink it. Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and asked her third question, Then why did you have Zhong Kai buy gifts for me? The jewelry, turtles, puppies you gave me before, did Zhong Kai buy them all? Xiao Yebai didnt deny it, Is there a difference?
    Of course there is a difference, even though its your money, the gifts represent your intentions! I always had to ask you for gifts, then you would ask Zhong Kai to buy them for me. You didnt even want to deliver them personally. Its clear that you didnt put your heart into it! Weve known each other for 10 years, been married for 2, yet you have no idea what I really like. If I dont say it, you always go for jewelry! Xiao Yebai, are you just cating me? In the face of her barrage of questions, Xiao Yebai just replied, I understand now. What do you mean by I understand now? Mo Weiyi demanded. Xiao Yebai kept watching her steadily. A hint of irritation shed through his eyebrows, but he finally said, The gifts for you, I will buy them personally from now on. Hearing his response, Mo Weiyi, who had felt so stifled, finally pouted her lips in relief. Immediately following that, So why dont you even know what food I like? I admit, I didnt know that your stomach issue was so severe, as a wife, its my fault. But you are even worse! In thest ss reunion, I asked you to order food for me, and you only ordered broli, and all the other dishes were ones I didnt like! Because your ssmates were present, I didnt want to create a scene and lose your face, you know? This time, Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, You like meat, the only vegetable you like is broli, isnt that right? Mo Weiyi stood there stunned, You knew? Then why did you Eating more vegetables is good for your health. At his response, Mo Weiyi audibly rolled her eyes. Any more questions? It was Xiao Yebais turn to ask now. Mo Weiyi: Why did she have this feeling again that she was at a loss for no reason? She bit her lip, and then said, Xiao Yebai,st time I asked you if you liked me, you didnt answer. This time, Ill rephrase the question. Looking at the mans clear yet indifferent eyes, she asked, word by word, Xiao Yebai, do you actually care about me? Before he could answer, Mo Weiyi quickly added, If you really dont want to answer or find it too embarrassing to say, this is okay, if you dont care about me, just shake your head. Xiao Yebai pursed his thin lips. He opened his mouth after a long silence, I am not mute. Then say something. Mo Weiyi was just frustrated.
    Xiao Yebai looked at her, So all this indeed started because I didnt say anything? Mo Weiyi: She felt like hitting someone! How did the conversation circle back to this?
    Was it really she who started it? Fine! Mo Weiyi only felt weary deep down, Alright, lets not talk about it anymore, lets not say anything, you seem to be recovering well, since you dont need maids, let the nurse take care of you, goodbye! Having said that, she turned and walked away. Xiao Yebai didnt try to stop her. Mo Weiyi just felt a chill in her heart. She plucked up the courage to believe Zhan Yaos words, came to him, only to face this. But she couldnt let it go. As she walked, she couldnt help but slow down her steps. With each step in her high heels, she felt as if she was stepping on her own heart. When she reached the door, she finally gave up, reaching out to open the door. Immediately, the noise from outside filled her ears. Just as Mo Weiyi was about to take a step to leave, she suddenly heard the man speak from behind her. Yes.
    Mo Weiyi was stunned, her body froze on the spot. Weiyi? The mans voice sounded again, as if he was afraid she hadnt heard. Mo Weiyi coughed lightly, turned around, then stiffly walked back over. Although her heart was blooming with joy, her face remained cold and calm, not showing any signs of happiness. Looking at her face, Xiao Yebais eyebrows slightly knitted together. Returning to the bedside table, Mo Weiyi grabbed the bag containing the thermos, unzipped it, took out the thermos and unscrewed the cap. As she was about to pour out the chicken soup, Xiao Yebai reminded her, Be careful. Mo Weiyis fingers paused a moment, then she looked at the man, Am I that useless? Xiao Yebai: Mo Weiyi carefully poured out a small bowl of chicken soup, holding the bowl she sat at the edge of the bed. Having had experience in feeding him water yesterday, she was much more skillful this time. Each time drawing up just a half spoonful and delivering it securely got it down his throat. Chapter 537: 537, why cant you sleep? Chapter 537: 537, why cant you sleep? With yesterdays experience of feeding water, Mo Weiyi was much more adept this time. She scooped up less than half a spoon each time and steadily handed it to him to drink. After quickly finishing a small bowl of chicken soup, she asked, Do you want more? Hmm, the man replied with a grunt. Mo Weiyi stood up once again to fill half a bowl of soup, all the while muttering internally. He clearly seemed to be starving like a ghost, and yet he refused to drink chicken soup when Uncle Liu offered it. Is this man some sort of masochist, she wondered? Reflecting on what Zhan Yao and Aunt Zhou had said, Mo Weiyi returned with the chicken soup and sat down next to the bed. She asked him, Dont you know that your stomach problem is severe? Why do you still drink alcohol every night? Xiao Yebai looked at her, his profound eyes seeming to churn with some sort of emotion. Just when Mo Weiyi thought he wouldnt answer, he said, It helps me sleep. Mo Weiyis heart pounded wildly like a frightened deer; her voice softened even more. Why cant you sleep? she asked. Xiao Yebai continued to look at her with deep, lingering eyes.
    Although he didnt respond this time, Mo Weiyi felt that no answer was needed. She reluctantly pulled her gaze from his mesmerizingly attractive eyes, her heart raced, and her cheeks started to turn a little red. Embarrassed, she stammered, Your future behavior will determine how everything goes. If you disappoint me, I will still ask for a divorce. The man looked at her lovely, flushed face, his low, husky voice grew even softer, almost a whisper between lovers, What kinds of acts? Husbandly duties. You must be kind to me. If youre not, I may fall for another man, and stop loving you. Then you will truly lose me, and I will make sure you can never find me again. Are you talking about referred Xiao Yebai with narrowed eyes, his handsome face hardened, Ling Zhizhou? Mo Weiyi: .. Why was Ling Zhizhou being brought up again? As expected, Xiao Yebai said immediately, Havent I told you to stay away from that Ling Zhizhou? Then should you also keep your distance from Tian Ye? Mo Weiyi quickly retorted. Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, Ive already exined what happened yesterday. Im talking about the future. Regarding yesterdays matter, Xiao Yebai and Zhan Yao had already made their exnations, yet Mo Weiyi felt that this woman Tian Ye had extraordinarily thick skin, she seemed to know nothing about avoiding suspicion. Xiao Yebai simply said, Okay. On hearing these two words, Mo Weiyi felt truly at ease. She held the small spoon, scooped up the soup, and slowly passed it to him. However, to her surprise, Xiao Yebai didnt open his mouth. Just when Mo Weiyi was about to speak, her delicate wrist was held by his bony hand. She looked up, meeting his intense gaze. What what are you doing? Mo Weiyis voice was soft and slightly flirty.
    Xiao Yebais Adams apple bobbed, his lips parted slightly, What did you call me just now? What did I call you? Mo Weiyi feigned ignorance. Xiao Yebai smiled. Mo Weiyis heart pounded wildly, just like a little rabbit.
    When Ye Bei arrived at the hospital room, the scene he witnessed was exactly this. A young and beautiful girl sitting beside the bed, a spoon in hand, attempting to deliver it to the thin lips of the man lying in the bed, but her hand was held by the mans. Both locking eyes, their faces were incredibly close. It seemed like she was just trying to feed him, but in reality, it looked more like they were flirting! Since the door was left open, he caught sight of them as he walked by. But he stood at the door for several seconds, and they didnt even notice. Knock Knock Knock! Ye Bei lifted his hand and rapped hard on the doorframe. As a result. Ah! Startled by the sudden noise, soup sshed out of Mo Weiyis spoon andnded on Xiao Yebais legs. The room was heated so the man was wearing only a simple hospital gown. The small spoonful of soup, although not much, wet his gown. Mopletedly dropped the bowl and spoon in her frenzy to clean up, grabbing tissue from nearby to wipe it up.
    She was so immersed that she didnt even notice that the person knocking had walked in, or that the ce she was wiping was the mans leg, dangerously close to a sensitive area. Seeing this, Ye Bei couldnt help but clear his throat, ahem ahem. Then, Mo Weiyis busy small hand was held by the mans big hand, at the same time, his other hand pulled the nearby nket to cover him. No need to wipe it. The man stated calmly. Oh. Mo Weiyi hadnt realized anything amiss yet. She blushed, tossed a tissue into the nearby trash can, then turned around to greet the neer, Hello. Miss Mo, hello. Ye Bei finally walked over with a smile. He held a gift box in his hand, probably filled with nutrition products, and cradled arge bouquet of lilies in his arm. He asked warmly, Yebai, how is your health? I heard from Zhan Yao that you were seriously ill. I was so scared that I dashed over to see you during my lunch break. Xiao Yebais tone remained t, I wont die. Ye Beiughed rather awkwardly. The reason he came today was also because he heard from Zhan Yao that Xiao Yebai was seriously ill. If that was the case, Mo Weiyi, as his wife, would surely be taking care of him in the ward. And indeed, he saw her as soon as he entered.
    However, his rtionship with Xiao Yebai was mediocre at best. There were many Chinese students at that American Institute, and there was an internal forum formunication. Among his peers, there were only four of them who were Chinese, so not long after their entrance, the four of them were urged to participate in regr organized gatherings. However, Xiao Yebai never attended these meetings. It was during this time that he met Tian Ye and fell in love. Compared to foreign women, Ye Bei preferred Chinese women for their delicate, fair, and intricate appearance. Therefore, his years of getting along with Tian Ye were harmonious until his parents in Nancheng found out about his girlfriend, and they went to investigate Tian Yes background. Under the interference of his parents, he proposed the breakup with Tian Ye. He didnt notice anything wrong at the time. It wasnt until he returned to China a while back that he discovered that Tian Ye had been interested in Xiao Yebai for a long time. No wonder she was so decisive when they broke up. After all, Ye Bei thought he was a top-tier choice for women in terms of wealth, appearance, and knowledge. His family, the Ye family, was also prominent in Nancheng. It was surprising that Tian Ye was able to give up on him so easily. Her ambition was not small at all. However Ye Bei looked at Mo Weiyi. Having such a sweet and beautiful wife like her, coupled with Mo Weiyis background, would Xiao Yebai be stupid enough to give up Mo Weiyi and get together with Tian Ye?
    Of course, the answer was an obvious no. Ye Bei immediately put on what he thought was a charming smile, Miss Mo, why not have a maid or a caregiver help you? Mo Weiyi nced at him, He finds it annoying. Ye Bei continued to smile, You two have a really good rtionship. Mo Weiyi also smiled, You and your girlfriend also have a good rtionship. She still remembered thest gathering when the two of them went straight into the restroom and didnte out. Ye Bei was taken aback, Are you talking about Linlin fromst time? He immediately stated, We have broken up. Broken up? Mo Weiyi frowned. It seemed like it hadnt even been a month since thest ss reunion. They had broken up already? Little girl, always nagging, excessively emotional, no shared topics. Ye Bei had a nonchnt attitude. Mo Weiyi nodded, Let me go wash the dishes, you two chat. Miss Mo, do you need my help? Ye Bei offered enthusiastically. Xiao Yebai gave him a nce. Mo Weiyi naturally declined, No need, its just washing dishes. When she went into the bathroom, Ye Bei slowly looked away, but as soon as he did, he found himself met with a pair of icy eyes. Ye Bei was taken aback, quickly putting a smile on his face, Yebai, has Tian Yee to see you? Xiao Yebai gave a t response, Yes. Thats good. Ye Beiughed. There was nothing else to say. No one spoke. The atmosphere in the ward was painfully awkward. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi returned quickly. She ced the small bowl back on the table, Its gettingte, I should get going. At her words, Ye Bei was startled, while Xiao Yebais expression turned frosty. What are you doing? Mo Weiyi pulled out a tissue to wipe her precious little hands, softly grumbling with a hint of disgust, I forgot to bring hand cream. The smell of detergent lingered. After wiping her fingers, she looked up, shing a charming and gorgeous smile, Im going home to take a nap. If I dont, I wont be pretty anymore, what to do then? Chapter 538: 538, beauty sleep is more important than a husband Chapter 538: 538, beauty sleep is more important than a husband After wiping her fingers, she lifted her head with a sweet and charming smile, I need to go back for my beauty sleep; what am I going to do if I stop looking good? Ye Bei could hardly control hisughter. Indeed, she was the little princess of the Mo Family. Even though her husband was sick in bed, she still wanted to go back for her beauty sleep. He added humorously, A womans beauty sleep indeed ys a significant role. Xiao Yebai remained silent with a stern face. However, Mo Weiyi seemed to have struck a chord with Ye Bei, Theres nothing I can do about it. What if I have to divorce him in the future? Dont I need to keep my pretty face to attract other men? Xiao Yebais handsome face darkened instantaneously. Ye Bei felt a stir in his heart. Divorce? Was she talking about
    Divorcing Xiao Yebai? Alright, I am heading back first. I wille by tonight to bring you dinner. After finishing her words, Mo Weiyi suddenly frowned, However, considering your current health condition, you cant really have dinner as usual. I will ask Aunt Zhou to make you some porridge. While she was putting on her coat and picking up her handbag, she left without looking back. Xiao Yebai did not hold her back. The only thing that caught attention was his unapproachable look. Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, felt extremely jubnt. Wanwan was right. She had been too proactive! She had been too nice to this introverted man! That was why he took her for granted and did not appreciate her. Moving forward, she would continue to be good to him wherever necessary, but she now promised to treat herself even better. She was no longer going to do everything for him as she did in the past. Frankly speaking, she twisted and turned in bed the whole night due to weariness and barely slept at all. Now that Xiao Yebai was stable, her body and mind finally rxed. She was so sleepy that she needed topensate for lost sleep immediately, especially since there was a guest After leaving the ward and waiting for the lift, she suddenly heard the voice of the visitor behind her, Miss Mo. Mo Weiyi turned around, slightly tilting her face, Mr. Ye? Ye Bei approached her with a smile. He was a particrly handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you could tell his body was muscr, and he had a fair amount of muscle. His facial features were rugged, with slightly thick lips, which made his smile look kinda slick. However, because he was Xiao Yebais ssmate, Mo Weiyi maintained a sweet smile on her face, Can I assist you with anything? Only now did Ye Bei have the chance to take a good look at her. Thest time he saw her, he thought she was a beautiful little princess. However, this time, she seemed more elegantmaybe because of the change in hairstylewith a touch more womanliness in her eyes. Miss Mo, theres a good musicaltely. Would you be interested in going to see it?
    Ye Bei had done his research beforehand. Even though Mo Weiyi majored inw in university, herte mother was a well-known pianist in Nancheng. Therefore, he believed she must have an interest in the music field. A musical? Mo Weiyi looked at him, seemingly surprised. Ye Bei quickly replied, Yes, youll definitely love it. Its The Phantom of the Opera, performed by the original cast from Broadway. How did you know that I would like it? Mo Weiyi looked even more astonished.
    Ye Bei was rather triumphant, but he kept a calm face, Who doesnt know that Miss Mos mother came from a music family? So, I just ventured a bold guess. Oh, Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, How many tickets do you have? Two. Mo Weiyi continued to smile, Are you giving all of them to me? Ye Bei paused, then hurriedly said, May I have the honor to apany Miss Mo to watch it together? I should add, when I was in America, I frequently watched such performances. Moreover, its rare that the original cast is performing this time. You want to watch it with me? Mo Weiyi touched her hair tips, innocently saying, I thought you were going to give the tickets to me, so I could watch it with my husband. Ye Beiughed awkwardly, Yebai is not fully recovered and cant be discharged from the hospital just yet. But it seems inappropriate for you and me to go together, right? Miss Mo, please do not misunderstand. I genuinely enjoy this performance. Watching it alone is just not fun. Besides, it would be such a waste if I dont go. However, if I end up going with someone who knows nothing about musicals, we would have nothing to talk about. He fully believed his reasoning was sufficient, who would have thought Well, unfortunately, I dont really understand musicals either. Miss Mo, you must be joking. Ye Bei evidently didnt believe her. Mo Weiyi continued to smile, Didnt you know? The thing I hate the most is the piano.
    Why? Because, ever since I was a child, my mother forced me to y the piano every day. I didnt have a talent for music. Each practice was incredibly difficult, yet I couldnt y any better. My mother was extremely strict, scolding me for every little thing and constantlyparing me to my cousin. Those years have cast a dark shadow over my childhood and as a result, I deeply despise the piano. Having said that, the elevator arrived just in time and Mo Weiyi headed straight in, Mr. Ye, Ill take my leave first. Ok. Ye Bei could only watch helplessly as the elevator closed. A miscalction indeed. It seems that he would have to reassess her likes and dislikes. ** On the other side, after Mo Yaoxiong finished his call with Mo Weiyi, he instructed his driver to take him to a small residential area near the citys fourth ring road. After parking the car, Mo Yaoxiong instructed, Xiaoli, wait for me here. Ok. Watching Mo Yaoxiong get out of the car and walk into the building, Xiaoli shook his head quietly. Whats going on, with a brother-inw meeting his younger sister-inw in private! However
    As a servant, theres nothing he can do but grumble to himself about his masters affairs. ** Mo Yaoxiong quickly reached a door upstairs, knocked twice, and the door opened. Xu Jing, dressed in a graceful skirt, smiled at him, Brother-inw, youre here. Mo Yaoxiong stepped in. Brother-inw, these are new slippers Ive just bought. Mo Yaoxiong looked at the womans appeasing smile, sighed internally, but still changed into the slippers and sat down. A strong aroma of food quickly wafted over. Sure enough, Xu Jing quickly said, Brother-inw, why not have lunch here while youre at it? Ive prepared everything. No need, Im just here to talk and then Ill leave. Brother-inw, nobody is at home. Ever since Yunyao went to Italy, Ive been alone in the house without anyone to talk to. Ive already cooked, I wont be able to finish it all. Mo Yaoxiong looked at her, Xu Jing, the main reason I came today is to ask about Yunyao. Brother-inw, go ahead.
    Why did you tell Weiyi that Yunyao likes Yebai? Xu Jing was startled, and quickly apologized, Brother-inw, Im sorry, I I thought she knew about it, I didnt do it on purpose. Weiyi, that child, has always been possessive since she was young. Ever since Yebai came to our home, shes been smitten with him. A few years ago, when Yebais sister ran to our house, the two of them nearly had a fight in the old house. My father has always yielded to Weiyi, being bornte in his life, she is his precious granddaughter, and years of overindulgence have made Weiyi increasingly arrogant. Yesterday, after learning about this, she immediately caused a ruckus in the hospital with Yebai. They both wanted a divorce, and it nearly ended in death What did you say? Xu Jings face grew into even more panic, Brother-inw, I really didnt do it on purpose, you must believe me. Ill call Weiyi right now to exin. I really didnt know it would get out of hand, I seriously thought she knew. Okay. Mo Yaoxiong frowned, You didnt know, thats fine. But next time, try not to talk about these things in front of her, understood? Xu Jing nodded appropriately, I understand. Mo Yaoxiong stood up to leave. Brother-inw, have something to eat before you go. I deliberately bought extra food. Theres no fridge at home. If you dont eat, I really cant finish it all and it would be a waste. Unable to refuse her enthusiasm, Mo Yaoxiong eventually sat at the dining table. Soon, Xu Jing had brought all the dishes. Four dishes and a soup. Especially the soup, it was a slow-cooked old duck soup, evidently, a lot of effort was put into it. After taking a sip of the soup, Mo Yaoxiong turned slightly emotional. As Xu Jing watched his face, she quietly asked, Hows the taste? Good. Compared to before? At those words, Mo Yaoxiong was taken aback. Im sorry, brother-inw, I misspoke. Xu Jing quickly apologized again. Seeing Xu Jings cautious demeanor, Mo Yaoxiong softly sighed inside, Xu Jing, I am sorry for what happened in the past, but even now, even though Xu Xian has been gone for four years, you are Xu Xians sister, I am your brother-inw. This rtionship will not change. Chapter 539: 539, have you made up with your Xiaobai? Chapter 539: 539, have you made up with your Xiaobai? I know what I should do. Xu Jing gently interrupted him, Brother-inw, dont worry. I know your difficulties. No one else will know about what happened in the past. Over the years, youve been secretly helping me; you helped me divorce from Qu Zhi Zun, then you helped me return to Nancheng, and found me a job. You also helped Yunyao and Xu Rui get togetherWhen she caused such a big scandal, you still reconciled and helped me buy this house and sent her to study in Italy. Dont worry, I remember all these funds, bit by bit. When I have money, I will pay you back, I promise. Mo Yaoxiong didnt say anything. Xu Jing didnt say anything else either. After dinner, she escorted him to the door. Alright, Im going. You should rest. Mo Yaoxong put on his shoes and left. Xu Jing stood there, listening to his footsteps slowly departing. When the elevator emitted a ding sound, she closed the door, turned around quickly, and went into the bedroom. Opening the curtain next to the balcony, she looked at the area below. As expected, the mans figure appeared after a while. Even though Mo Yaoxiong was almost fifty years old, he still maintained his physique. It was apparent that he exercised regrly. His back was straight when he walked, his hair was dyed ck, and one would think he was only in his thirties looking at him from this angle. Not until the man got into a ck Audi and drove away slowly did Xu Jing close the curtain and sit down in the living room.
    She looked at the nearly untouched food on the table, a cold smirk slowly emerging from her beautiful eyebrows. Then, suddenly, she picked up the bowl of soup and threw it on the floor. A ng sounded as the porcin shards flew around, and soup spilled all over the ce. She had told herself not to think about the past anymore. Everyone has their own fate. Clearly, her fate was different than Xu Xians. But why! Why cant even her daughter be spared! Why! ** As the Spring Festival approached, the festive atmosphere in Nancheng seemed to be more prevalent. Although people no longer cared much for the traditional New Years celebration due to the improved living standards, some customs still need to be followed, especially for families with the elderly and children. They would have a more festive atmosphere. Mo Weiyi was sitting in the car, sleepily watching the bustling streets passing by. Then, suddenly, her phone rang. Taking a look at it, surprisingly, it was Su Wanwan calling. She answered the phone immediately, Wanwan. Su Wanwan asked, Are you still in the countryside? No, Im back. Good, Im having a meal at a cafe downstairs of the TV station. Their dessert is delicious; you would definitely like it. Ill send you the location so you cane and eat next time. Ille and meet you! Mo Weiyi suddenly said. **
    Half an hourter, Mo Weiyi arrived at the dessert shop. Su Wanwan had let Zhao Qianqian go home and also ordered a pot of rice for her. As Mo Weiyi sat down and began to devour her food, Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows, Are you that hungry? Where did youe from? The hospital.
    Whos sick? Xiaobai. Uh, Su Wanwan sighed, You went to see him again even though you know your chances are slim? Mo Weiyi smiled, I went to feed him soup, and I nned to go home and sleep afterward. But then you mentioned that this ce has good food, so I came right over to see you C doesnt that mean I love you the most? But Su Wanwan looked at the time, Hurry up and eat. I have to go back to work. Mo Weiyi: She saw that Su Wanwan had her work badge hanging around her neck. It looked like she was putting on a tough act. How do you feel about the internship? Su Wanwan sighed, Its alright. I only help out with scripts every day. It feels a little dull. The TV station was hierarchical, with established veterans having a lot of say. The interns and even the newly-hired official employees always had to start from the bottom and work their way up. Su Wanwans internship supervisor, Xia Mei, was twenty-eight and not yet married. She was considered a strong woman. Xia Mei had several people under her, so even though she was arranged by Di Chenghe to mentor Su Wanwan, the intern, she was too busy to even care for her. So in the end, Su Wanwan spent each day getting familiar with the role of a director in the TV station while doing odds jobs. Mo Weiyi nodded as if she understood, Ill go in with youter to take a look.
    Look at what? Handsome guys? There are no handsome guys behind the scenes! The only good-looking one was probably Di Chenghe, right? But Di didnt oftene to the TV station. Since arranging supervisors that day, she had not seen him. Mo Weiyiughed, Ill go and give you some support, so no one can bully you. Get out of here, Su Wanwan handed her a napkin, Hurry up and eat and leave. Dont disturb me while Im working. Baby Wanwan, Ive barely spent half an hour with you. Mo Weiyi pouted, feeling unhappy. Seeing her act cute like this, Su Wanwan squinted her beautiful eyes, Did you get back with Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi: She couldnt hide anything from best friends. So, she could only share the whole story. Su Wanwan had a shocked expression, Damn, did you make Mr. Xiao throw up blood in anger? I was almost scared to death at the time. Mo Weiyi still felt scared even thinking about it now.
    The two of them chatted until they lost track of time. It wasnt until Mo Weiyi yawned that Su Wanwan jumped up in surprise as she saw the time, Damn, Imte! Chapter 540: 540, baby, why havent you come home yet? Chapter 540: 540, baby, why havent youe home yet? It was not until Mo Weiyi yawned that Su Wanwan looked at the time and shot to her feet, Shit, Imte! As an intern, she could take holidays a bit earlier, so today was herst day at work before the New Year. The rest of the staff had to work overtime until New Years Eve, some even had to work during the New Year. The work hours were strictly enforced. They had lunch from 12 oclock to 1:30 pm, and it was already past 1:20pm. Su Wanwan did not want to drop the ball at this critical juncture. She immediately got up, Im leaving, bye. Mo Weiyi was still asking, Are you sure you dont want me to go with you? Without a pass, they wont let you in the TV station. Ok then. Mo Weiyi reluctantly waved a small goodbye. ** Su Wanwan hurried back to the TV station, took an elevator to the offices upstairs. Surely enough, the entire office area was bustling.
    No one even noticed her! Just as she was about to slink back to her seat unnoticed, a male colleague suddenly ran over, Wanwan, why just got back? Hurry up, the entire directors team is having a meeting. Okay. Su Wanwan was speechless. She had to grab her notebook and hurriedly rush to the meeting room. As she opened the door of the room, she could see it was already packed with people. Under everyones scrutiny, she let out an awkwardugh, walked in and sat next to Zhao Qianqian. Xia Mei nced at her and said, Lunch break is one hour long, should be sufficient right? Dont bete next time. Su Wanwan stood up, Sorry, Teacher Xia, I will not bete again. She indeed lost track of time chatting with Mo Weiyi, as they hadnt seen each other for several days and were discussing their rtionship. It was her fault. Xia Mei nodded, Sit down. She continued her speech. Zhao Qianqian then whispered, I was called to the meeting as soon as I got back. My phone was charging in the office, or I would have messaged you. Its okay. She and Zhao Qianqian were just interns, to be honest, they were just here to listen and learn about the programs production n. After all, even if they wanted, the senior directors would not allow two interns to take charge. Indeed, the entire meeting was a passionate discussion among the directors team, with the two interns nodding along while understanding little. One hourter, the meeting finally ended. Everyone got up, Su Wanwan clutched her notebook and left with Zhao Qianqian. Right when they arrived at the door-
    Su Wanwan, stay behind. Su Wanwan looked confused, while Zhao Qianqian cast her a good luck nce. After everyone else left, Xia Mei gestured towards the door, Close the door. Okay. Su Wanwan closed the door, sat down in front of her, and waited obediently for her lecture.
    After all, it was her fault for beingte. Su Wanwan. Xia Mei looked at her with a smile, I heard from Cheng Wei that youre married, is that true? Su Wanwan was taken aback. Dont overthink, Im just curious. After all, you were introduced here by Professor Di, and Im your senior. You know, both me and him were journalism students from Nancheng University, weve known each other for many years. Su Wanwan nodded, Ive seen Professor Dis girlfriend, shes quite pretty. What did you say? He has a girlfriend now? Xia Mei looked shocked. Quickly realizing her overreaction, she took a sip from her cup. Su Wanwans suspicions were immediately confirmed. Ever since she started her internship, although Xia Mei kept a low profile, she felt a distinct targeting at her. Sometimes, the so-called targeting in the workce is not about being hostile, or plotting against you behind your back. Like Xia Mei, who never assigned specific tasks to her, and just let her subordinates deal with her. At first, Su Wanwan thought she was overthinking. But then over the past two days, Zhao Qianqian was either out shooting or at the studio. And yet, she, who started the internship at the same time, was only given menial tasks!
    They say the workce isplex, but in reality, it is the human heart that isplex. Su Wanwan thought about it, and apologized, Teacher Xia, you didnt know about this? Perhaps Professor Di didnt want to expose his private affairs. God, if he finds out I bbed his secret, hell probably me me. Xia Mei immediately said, Dont worry, I wont tell anyone. Thank you, Teacher Xia. Looking at her simple smile, Xia Mei was lost in thought. At first, she thought that Su Wanwan was dating Di Chenghe. After all, Di Chenghe was handsome, served as a director at the TV station with a lot of experience under his belt, and was considered young and promising in the industry. He was incredibly popr among the schoolgirls at the university. And Su Wanwan was very pretty, a distinct kind of pretty that would stand out in the entertainment industry. Such young and beautiful girls generally wouldnt be ambitious. Coming for an internship, they were probably just relying on their connections with someone like Di Chenghe to go through the motions and get the internship certificate. She had seen so many girls like that, and Di Chenghe had definitely brought some over before, so she didnt care too much until she heard from a cameraman during a chat yesterday that Su Wanwan was already married. Looking at the diamond ring on Su Wanwans hand now, sparkling brightly, it seemed ratherrge and the ring itself was exquisite costing at least over a million yuan? It seemed like she married a rich man. Xia Mei was somewhat at a loss as to how to describe her feelings.
    She gripped her pen tightly and said, Regardless, as an intern brought in by Teacher Di, you should still follow the basic rules. Such as, no tardiness, no leaving early, you should always attend meetings on time, andplete the tasks assigned to you. Okay, Teacher Xia. Perhaps seeing Su Wanwan taking it well, Xia Mei smiled, Alright, thats all for today. Once you finish your work today, theres no need toe tomorrow. All interns are to return on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. Thank you, Teacher Xia. Xia Mei nodded and then left. Once Su Wanwan returned to her seat, Zhao Qianqian immediately came over, Everything alright? Yes. You scared me! Dont bete next time. These older women in the workce can be quite terrifying. Dont say bad things about your boss behind her back, Su Wanwan quickly interrupted her. Zhao Qianqian stuck out her tongue, My supervisor is the best, but its a pity hes already married. Zhao Qianqians supervisor was a male producer surnamed Xu. He was 27, married, and had a daughter. There was a photo of his family of three on his desk. Su Wanwan said, I can take tomorrow off, and you? So lucky? Zhao Qianqian looked envious, Teacher Xu said we have to record the Spring Festival special episode for Eastern Talks and Western Jokes tomorrow morning. He said that I could learn a lot by going.
    Su Wanwan: Wanwan, didnt Xia Mei take you to the film set? Su Wanwan shook her head. Not only did Xia Mei not take her to the film set,te in the afternoon when she was about to leave work, Xia Mei suddenly walked out of her office and handed over a USB stick. All of you, proofread this material today, Ill need it tomorrow. Okay, Sister Xia. The speaker was a male colleague sitting opposite Su Wanwan, named Huang Gangsheng. As soon as Xia Mei left, Huang Gangsheng threw the USB drive in front of her, Wanwan, are you free tonight? Would you mind workingte? Su Wanwan nodded, Sure. Divide the material and let everyone know in the group chat. Okay. This was the first time Su Wanwan had to work overtime after starting her internship. Originally, she thought she could leave early since she didnt have toe in tomorrow, but it turned out there was quite a lot of material to go through. One of her colleagues was called home by a phone call, and the work he was supposed to do ultimately fell onto Su Wanwans shoulders. So at six in the evening, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message, Baby, why arent you home yet? Su Wanwan replied, I have to work overtime. Interns have to do overtime? Cant interns work overtime? Huo Jingshen finally sent an emoji with a smile. Su Wanwan didnt bother to answer and continued working. Other colleagues left after finishing the material. It was almost eight in the evening when Su Wanwan did the final coordination and sent all the materials to Huang Gangsheng. The young man was ecstatic, Wanwan, I cant thank you enough. Without your help, I would have had to work till nine. My mom made meatballs at home and shes waiting for me. Su Wanwan smiled and started to pack her things. How about I treat you to dinner? Huang Gangsheng suddenly offered. No need, Ill eat at home. Chapter 541: 541, husband youre the best! Chapter 541: 541, husband youre the best! That wont do. Youve helped me a lot, and Im starving. Besides, I can have meatballs at home anytime. Why dont we go to the tea restaurant opposite? What do you think? I have a discount coupon, so I can treat you to a big meal. Really, you dont have to. Dont be polite. Youve been interning here for so long, and we have never had a meal together. Lets go, lets go. He is enthusiastically insistent. Helpless, Su Wanwan had to follow him downstairs. Exiting the broadcasting station, she saw a ck luxury car parked by the road. At first, Su Wanwan didnt pay much attention until she was about to cross the road, passing by the car, when a sudden honk startled her. She instinctively turned around. The taillights turned on, and under the night sky, the license te number was striking. N696969?
    Holy crap. She quickly said, Im sorry, my husband is here to pick me up, I have to go. Huang Gangsheng nced at the luxury car, Is this your husbands car? Su Wanwan nodded. The look on Huang Gangshengs face changed instantly, Alright, you should go. After Su Wanwan got in the car, the ck Mulsanne slowly drove away. Huang Gangsheng stood there, in shock for quite a while. A Mulsanne worth nearly ten million! OMG! This Su Wanwan, it seems the rumors about her marrying a wealthy tycoon are true! * * In the car. Su Wanwan smilingly looked at her tycoon husband, Why didnt you give me a heads up that you wereing to pick me up? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his face solemn, My car has been parked here for half a day, and you were only interested inughing with another man? If I didnt honk, were you nning on going with him? Su Wanwan was taken aback, I didnt see, okay? You should have texted me. Huo Jingshens face tightened, Who was that man? A colleague. After Su Wanwan finished speaking, she immediately added, He has a girlfriend and is preparing to get married. I was helping him with overtime, so he kindly wanted to treat me to dinner. Can you stop being jealous over nothing? Huo Jingshens tone softened slightly, Havent you had your dinner yet? Not yet, Im starving. Su Wanwan unbuttoned and removed her coat, throwing it back.
    Do you have to work overtime again tomorrow? Su Wanwan quickly reassured him, No, no, I dont need to go back until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I have several days off! Presuming that he would be pleased by this, Huo Jingshen, however, nced at her indifferently, As an intern, you are busier than me, the CEO. Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan retorted, You are the CEO. You can choose not to work whenever you want. What about your employees below? If you order them to work overtime, dont they have to ve away in the office?
    They voluntarily chose to work overtime, Huo Jingshen said calmly, because they can earn three times their normal wages during the holidays. Su Wanwan: . Alright then. Youre the capitalist, so you must be right. Her phone suddenly rang, Su Wanwan nced at it and immediately picked it up, Hello? Wanwan, its me. Whats up? Su Wanwan frowned. Ever since being bitten by KO, Qiao Zixin had been behaving for quite a while, almost no news at all. Why is she suddenly calling now? Wanwan, didnt you know? Uncle has been promoted to the district head. Hearing this news, Su Wanwan felt no emotion, if anything, she almost chuckled, Is that right? Then, congrattions to him. What kind of reaction is that? Your father got promoted. You should be happy for him. Oh, anything else? We sisters havent seen each other in a long time, right? Its the New Year holidays now, dont you n to go home and visit? Grandfather and Uncle, they both miss you, you know.
    Qiao Zixins endless chatter was getting on Su Wanwans nerves, I already asked Yang Aunt, my grandfathers health is fine. Indeed, she hadnt been home in a while. Usually, she would call Yang Aunt once in a while to ask about Su Xueqins health condition. As for Su Yuntang. Heh. When has he ever treated her as his daughter? All this time and not a single call to ask about her. Why should she take the initiative to make things up with him, sycophantically offering up her usually warm face for his cold disregard? Perhaps in his heart, only Su Yanyan is his daughter, even though Su Yanyan is such a venomous, scandalous creature, he still doesnt care about his elder daughter. Regardless, we are still a family, and families dont hold grudges overnight. Wanwan, what happened before was Yanyans fault, but your grandfather and uncle have already punished her Alright, thats enough, I have things to do. Ill hang up now. After that, Su Wanwan immediately hung up. So annoying, my good mood ispletely ruined. Whose call was it? Huo Jingshen asked.
    My cousin. Qiao Zixin? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly, A few days ago, I had someone look into that club. What club? Look into what? Su Wanwan looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. The night you were drugged, your cousin was also at that club. Su Wanwan opened her mouth wide in surprise. After a long while, she asked,So you suspect my cousin drugged me? Why? Huo Jingshen, his long, bony fingers gripping the steering wheel, his face focused, his eyes slightly narrowed, Be careful around her in the future. Su Wanwan quickly nodded. Her rtionship with Qiao Zixin wasnt really good. But all along, aside from sending a dog after her when they were kids, Qiao Zixin hadnt done anything too outrageous. Why would she suddenly want to drug her for no reason? And even used an aphrodisiac.
    At that time, she was drinking with Ye Qitian. If Huo Jingshen hadnt rushed over in time Holy crap! Does Qiao Zixin hate her that much? Does she want to ruin her reputation? Suddenly thinking about what Mo Weiyi said at noon, Su Wanwans mind was in a whirl, Holy crap, did my cousin fall in love with you? Huo Jingshen nced at her sideways without denying it. Su Wanwan: Damn it! Is it really true? If it were in the past, she would never have believed it, but after what happened to Qu Yunyao, Su Wanwan suddenly realized that reality is often more absurd than novels and TV dramas! If Qu Yunyao could fall for her brother-inw, then its natural for Qiao Zixin to fall for her brother-inw! Looking at the devastatingly handsome face of Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan suddenly clenched her fist, Husband, dont worry, Ill protect your chastity, I wont let my cousin defile and take advantage of you! Huo Jingshen: It was the first time in 30 years he had a woman tell him she would protect hischastity. And the woman was a girl 10 years younger than him. Huo Jingshen couldnt quite describe the odd feeling in his heart, especially when he looked at Su Wanwans serious little face. He couldnt help but find it funny. Seeing a red light at the intersection ahead, he stopped the car and squeezed her soft cheek. Baby, take care of yourself first. Im serious! Su Wanwan looked at his elegant and handsome face, Of course, you also need to protect yourself, because if you get touch by other women, I will not want you! I remember you were hugged by Ye Qitian. Huo Jingshen squinted, his handsome figure dangerous and sexy, Before you ask me, shouldnt you set an example first? Su Wanwan coughed twice. Damn it, when did that happen? He still remembers? Hes a big jealous pot! Alright, alright, its green light, lets go. I want to eat the beef noodles you make. Su Wanwan stroked him along the grain. Huo Jingshen slowly took his eyes back, Alright, the husband will make some noodles for you when we get home. Su Wanwan: .. This The old driver is pushing the elerator! Whatever. Im at fault, let him take advantage of the words a bit. After all, these days Ive been busy with the internship, getting up early and returningte, I really have been neglecting him. When they were almost home, Su Wanwan suddenly thought of something, I dont need to go to the TV station tomorrow, can you go to the hospital with me in the morning? For what? President Xiao is sick, as a friend we should visit him, right? Huo Jingshen scoffed at her mockingly, Maybe he doesnt consider you a friend. Su Wanwan: Damn it! Does he have to hit the nail on the head like this? Su Wanwan justified her position, If others dont understand, that doesnt mean I shouldnt! Weiyi is my best girlfriend, her husband is so ill, as her friend, we should go to the hospital. Plus, Im on vacation right now. Of course, if you dont want to, Ill go alone. Huo Jingshens jaw tightened slightly. A momentter, he spoke coldly, Did I say I didnt want to? Su Wanwan immediately scooted over and hugged his arm, Youre the best, husband! Chapter 542: 542, get a little closer Chapter 542: 542, get a little closer Huo Jingshen let out another cold sneer, So now Im good again? Yes, honey, youre the best! Su Wanwan replied with a sweet smile. He he, the longer they were married, the easier she found it to coax Huo Jingshen. Say some sweet words, call him honey and he would be happy, willing to yield to her in any situation. Their days were getting more and morefortable. So Su Wanwan pushed her luck, Honey, Ive run out of my living expenses. Who would have thought The Lunar New Years Eve is in a few days, Ill give you lucky money then. Su Wanwan: Was he treating her like a little kid? Lucky money?
    But If theres money, why not take it! Su Wanwan seized the opportunity to stretch her demands, You should add more to that lucky money for me. I wont take anything less than ten thousand. Huo Jingshen: This little girl. Did you hear me? Su Wanwan urged him. Finally, Huo Jingshen gave a grunt of approval. Only then was Su Wanwan satisfied. * * In another part of the city, Qiao family. In the bedroom, Qiao Zixin hung up the phone, promptly dialing another number. She had no idea who the person on the other end was, only that it was a woman who had mysteriously called her one night without even giving her name. Upon hearing her voice, the woman lightlyughed, Miss Qiao, so youve failed again? Thinking about her failure at the clubhouse, Qiao Zixin frowned, Ever since that girl was wrongly used by my grandfather, she hasnt returned to the Su family. I dont even have a chance to meet him. Thest time at the clubhouse, I had someone drug her. Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen would suddenly rush over and take her away. You mean, Huo Jingshen found out about your n at the clubhouse? How could he? Ive known that waiter for a long time and he is very reliable. He has helped me many times before and besides, there were no surveince cameras in the hallway. There was silence on the other end of the phone before the woman replied, If Su Wanwan was indeed drugged, there must have been some reaction after she went home. Dont you think Huo Jingshen would suspect something? But Ive asked that waiter, these days Huo Jingshen hasnt been to the clubhouse. It wont be a problem, will it?
    Miss Qiao, youre really too naive! For such a small matter, do you think he needs to personally investigate? Qiao Zixins face turned embarrassed, But he hasnte looking for me these days. When I called Wanwan earlier, she seemed perfectly normal. There wasnt anything unusual. Miss Qiao, youd better watch out. Qiao Zixin was taken aback, What do you mean?
    Our partnership ends here. Goodbye. Wait, hey, who are you? What was your purpose in contacting me before? Hello? The womanughed lightly before ending the call. Qiao Zixin felt a chill in her heart and quickly tried to dial the number again, only to be told Im sorry, the number you dialed does not exist. Doesnt exist? Qiao Zixin hung up the phone and carefully looked at the series of numbers. It was correct. She tried dialing again, but still got the same mechanical female voice. After hanging up, Qiao Zixin felt a chilling sensation up her spine. Just what kind of mysterious woman had Su Wanwan gotten involved with * *
    The next day. As soon as they got up in the morning, after cleaning up, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan to the hospital. On the way, Su Wanwan called Mo Weiyi to ask about Xiao Yebais condition. After hanging up, she pondered over what to gift Xiao Yebai considering his stomach bleeding, What would be a good gift? With a cold demeanor, Huo Jingshen said, Someone with stomach bleeding requires fluid therapy and can only consume liquid food. No matter what you give, he cant eat. Then lets buy him some flowers. Thats the best they could do. Su Wanwan sent a message to the group chat, [Weiyi, Im thinking of bringing a bouquet.] Who would have thought [No need. Yesterday one of his ssmates brought lilies, he threw it away right away saying that it was too pungent.] Su Wanwan: Finally, she decided to buy a bouquet of red roses. After all, they were Mo Weiyis favorite flower. If CEO Xiao didnt like them, she would take them home.
    * * At the hospital room. Mo Weiyi put down his phone, Wanwan and CEO Huo areing to visit you. No need. They are already on their way, Mo Weiyi said, looking at the aloof man on the bed. Wanwan is my best friend, so you should be warm to her. Xiao Yebai raised an eyelid, his tone calm, Do you think its appropriate for your husband to be warm to your best friend? Mo Weiyi: Why did it seem inappropriate when he said it? Forget it. She picked up the small bowl, Do you want more? What she brought this morning was a chicken and mushroom porridge cooked by Aunt Zhou. Since he couldnt eat solids, she had minced the chicken and cooked it into a thick and mushy porridge with rice. She had already fed him a small bowl earlier. Xiao Yebai changed the subject, Weiyi.
    What? Xiao Yebai stretched out his palm, Come here. Mo Weiyi put down the bowl and walked over, Do you need to go to the bathroom, or He grasped her hand directly. The mans voice was deep, Come closer. What for? Mo Weiyis heart started to race. From yesterday till now, Xiao Yebai has tried to flirt with her multiple times. She knew what this man wanted to do, but she pretended not to get it! She always managed to thwart his intentions! Chapter 543: 543, call me Xiaobai. Chapter 543: 543, call me Xiaobai. Because she was still on intravenous drip, she could only use one hand, which was very inconvenient. The man furrowed his deep brows, showing a fleeting trace of impatience. He grabbed her hand and pulled it suddenly. Ah! Mo Weiyi nearly fell over. She quickly braced herself with both hands, looking somewhat startled and pale, Cant you be more careful? What will you do if I put more pressure on you and it results in stomach bleeding? The doctor already said you shouldnt get agitated; you must mind your emotions When it came to matters between men and women, Xiao Yebai was always assertive. This waspletely contrary to his outwardly appearance of a gentlemanly figure, always well-dressed and courteous. In other words he was a quietly debauched gentleman! No touching allowed.
    The man narrowed his eyes, a suppressed resonant low voice reverberating. Weiyi. What? Call me. Call you what? What did you use to call me? Xiaobai? Mm. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, But I dont want to call you Xiaobai anymore. Why? Xiao Yebai stared at her with his dark, deep eyes. This eye contact made Mo Weiyis heart begin to race again. She whined somewhat petntly, You dont call me wife. Xiao Yebai indeed hardly ever called her wife, typically addressing her as Weiyi, and when he was angry, he would call her by her full name Mo Weiyi. After a long pause, the man spoke softly, Weiyi sounds better. Does Xiaobai sound good? The man nced at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. Ive be ustomed to it. ustomed to it? Mo Weiyi remembered that when he first entered the Mo family, he seemed to dislike the nickname Xiaobai. But at that time, she thought the nickname Xiaobai was easy to remember, and it rolled off the tongue, so she kept on using it. Back then, she imperiously demanded that everyone in the Mo family, including Mr. Mo and Mo Yaoxiong, Xu Xian, could only call him Yebai.
    As for the servants, they referred to him as Young Master Xiao. Therefore, the nickname Xiaobai was something only she, Mo Weiyi, could use. All right then. She curled up her lips and slowly revealed a sweet smile, her voice soft as she called, Xiaobai.
    Hearing his familiar name, a weight seemed to be lifted from the depths of the mans dark, deep eyes, his facial expression softened considerably. Then he said, Feed me some more porridge. Mo Weiyi:Okay. * * When Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen arrived at the hospital room, Aunt Zhou was tidying up the ce. A currently popr romance TV drama was ying on the TV. Mo Weiyi was engrossed in watching it, as for Xiao Yebai, when he saw someone enter, his gaze swept over them pretty indifferently and gave a slight nod. It was his form of greeting. Su Wanwan felt a gust of cold wind pass by and quickly grabbed onto her husbands sturdy arm. This Xiao Yebai was really too cold. She really did not know how Mo Xiaose got along with him privately. Huo Jingshen brought the fruit basket and roses. All of which were carefully selected by Su Wanwan. Thank you, Mr. Huo, Mo Weiyi said with a sweet smile, then nced at her own husband, Im sorry, hes quite unwell and cant talk much. Please feel at home.
    It wasnt that he was intentionally being rude- Xiao Yebai: Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen chuckled, It must be hard on Miss Mo. Oh, its not a big deal. Mo Weiyi had Aunt Zhou take the gifts away and gestured for the pair to sit down. Su Wanwan looked at the TV, Wow, are you also into this show? Yeah, I saw it rmended on a public ount. The show was addictive once I started watching. Yeah, I really cant stand that scum in there. Hes always flirting with his female ssmate. That kind of woman is a green tea bitch! The man isnt much better either! It takes two to tango! The two women excitedly chatted about the plot, while the two men remained silent.
    A whileter, Huo Jingshen got up, Babe, I need to go to the office. Call the driverter toe pick you up. Mr. Huo, Ill take Wanwan hometer. Mo Weiyi immediately said. Huo Jingshen gave the man on the bed a look, Doesnt Miss Mo need to stay here with President Xiao? No need, Ive got to go home and sleep for beauty rest at noon. Mo Weiyi said this in a clear and straightforward manner. Xiao Yebai: Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. All of a sudden, he felt a bit of sympathy for a certain patient. He looked at the time, Babe, Im leaving first. Okay, go. Su Wanwan sat there, immersing herself in the TV screen. She didnt even turn her head and had an impatient tone as if shooing away a fly. Huo Jingshen frowned, reaching out to pull the little girl up, Get up, see your husband off. Hey, why are you so annoying? Dont stop me from watching my show, eh, why are you pulling me Su Wanwan continued to grumble, but she was still dragged away. The room door closed, and with roses in hand, Aunt Zhou said in a seemingly casual manner, Ms. Su and her husbands rtionship seems to be very good.
    Chapter 544: 544, the best and most expensive Chapter 544: 544, the best and most expensive When the door closed, Aunt Zhou, who was arranging the roses in a vase, remarked offhandedly, Miss Su and her husbands rtionship seems to be really good. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener read more into it. Xiao Yebai nced at Mo Weiyi, who was looking back at him. After a brief exchange of looks, Mo Weiyi turned away, Aunt Zhou, have you finished tidying up? Ah, yes, let me just put these roses into the vase. Theres no need to do that. Aunt Zhou was taken aback. The manying on the hospital bed also looked over. Mo Weiyi smiled brightly and sweetly, Dont you dislike flowers? Wanwan said she bought these for me, Aunt Zhou, you should take them home. Xiao Yebai:
    Aunt Zhou hesitated for a moment, then promptly took the roses out of the vase, Alright, princess. These days, their princess was increasingly unpredictable. But it was good that the young couple had reconciled; they were no longer sitting in cold silence like before. ** At the elevator entrance. As soon as the elevator arrived, Su Wanwan immediately said, Alright, you better get in. Huo Jingshen, clutching her soft hand, looked deeply into her eyes as he hinted, Just like that? What else do you want? Su Wanwan warned, This is a hospital, can you be a little more considerate? As she finished speaking, she tried to pull her hand away. Yet, Huo Jingshen held it firmly. It wasnt painful and he didnt seem forceful, but she just couldnt pull her hand away. As expected, Huo Jingshen directly opened his mouth to speak. Su Wanwan was rendered speechless. After a while, she realized that whenever he wanted her to do something, she had to do it. Otherwise, he would persist relentlessly. As expected, Huo Jingshen smiled in satisfaction, delicately curling his lips, Alright, Im going to work. Hmm. Today was thest working day for the Huo Yuan Group and the boss had to personally attend, truly a dedicated and responsible leader. Before Su Wanwan could finish expressing her admiration, Huo Jingshen suddenly suggested, Or I wont go, baby,e home with me. Su Wanwan:
    She promptly pushed the man into the elevator. Quickly, leave! Not until the elevator door closed, did she turn around,ughing helplessly. He was really childish!
    He cant stand praise! Just as she was walking away, her phone rang. Su Wanwan felt even more exasperated. Can he even function without her? Was he really that clingy? He was already calling her after she had just left? Couldnt they spend a minute apart? Frustrated, she took out her phone, only to realize it wasnt Huo Jingshen who had called cough, cough, cough. How awkward. Su Wanwan quickly answered, Aunt Yang, whats up? Did something happen to my grandfather? It was the Su Familys housemaid, Aunt Yang. Miss, its not the master, its the masters son, hes sick. Su Yuntang?
    Su Wanwan knit her thin eyebrows, Whats wrong with him? Hes running a fever, his temperature is at thirty-nine degrees. Oh. Su Wanwans heart, which had been lifted slightly, sank back down. She nonchntly responded, Since hes running a fever, he should go to the hospital for an IV. He should recover very soon. As an adult, he shouldnt melodramatically endure the fever. As long as my grandfather is fine, I have some other things to attend to, so Ill hang up now. Ah, Miss, Miss The call was abruptly cut-off. ** At the Su Family Vi. On the second floor hallway, Aunt Yang, phone in hand, looked nervously at Jiang Yi, Madam, Miss hung up the phone. Jiang Yis brow furrowed, What did she say? I told her that the masters son was running a fever, that his temperature reached thirty-nine degrees, and she said he should go to the hospital for IV. Jiang Yis expression darkened. After a while. Jiang Yi spoke, Alright, go on with your work.
    Yes, Madam. Aunt Yang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left. It was all her fault. When she was about to call the Miss, the Madam saw her and asked what she was doing. Wait. Jiang Yis voice suddenly sounded again. Aunt Yang was scared stiff, she turned around, Madam. Jiang Yi looked at her unhappily, Why are you so jittery? Have you done something wrong? No, Madam, I didnt do anything. Aunt Yangs heart jumped nearly out of her chest. Jiang Yis face softened a bit, Go clean Misss room first, buy whatever you need, and remember, it has to be the best and most expensive. Dont forget to keep the receipts for me. Aunt Yang hesitated, Alright. Go on. Yes. Aunt Yang turned again and this time she directly went to Su Wanwans room. Jiang Yi opened the door to their main bedroom. Su Yuntang was lying on therge bed in the room. His fever had just faded, making his face look very weak.
    Yuntang, I just had the maid call Wanwan, but she hung up. As Jiang Yi sat next to the bed, she watched her husbands facial expression while speaking, Yuntang, why dont you directly call her? As soon as he heard this, Su Yuntangs face crimsoned, Ask me to call that wretched girl? Impossible! Yuntang. Jiang Yi quickly encouraged, After all, youre her father. Thest incident was indeed a mistake on YanYans and my part. We used Wanwan unfairly, causing you and dad to misunderstand Everythings fine now, a family doesnt harbor grudges overnight. After all, shes the daughter of the Su Family. Now that shes married into the Huo Family, were rtives Chapter 545: 545, someone was hit and killed! Chapter 545: 545, someone was hit and killed! Weve been married for a long time, and have the Huo Family ever given us any betrothal gifts! Su Yuntang interrupted with a grimace, Fortunately, the department doesnt know that I still have an elder daughter. She was married off to the Huo family without any rity or rity, without even a decent wedding! If this gets out, people willugh me to death! I, the father-inw, am aughingstock! Alright, alright, dont get angry. Jiang Yi busily tried to calm her husband, I just think that even if Wanwan hasnt returned to the Su Family for so long, she shoulde home to see her mother during the New Year, right? Lower your head first and treat her well. Actually, Wanwan is quite soft-hearted, isnt everything just for your celebration banquet? Mentioning the celebration banquet, a ripple passed over Su Yuntangs face. Jiang Yi seized the opportunity, For this matter, I didnt let Yanyane back from overseas because Im afraid theyll fight if they meet. Su Yuntang sighed long, Hows Yanyan doing over there? Not too good. She doesnt have anynguage skills and finds everydaymunication very difficult. When she first went there, she would call me every night crying, but now shes much better and is gradually adapting. Ive told her that shes not allowed toe back until she realizes her mistakes. She needs serious introspection this time, she cant continue to have issues with her sister. Su Yuntang nodded frequently as he listened. Until a ringing phone suddenly interrupted, Su Yuntang picked it up and quickly answered, Hello, Director Chen. What can I do for you?
    Jiang Yi got up and had just put away the clothes on the sofa when she heard Su Yuntang say, Okay, okay, Ill go over right away. She turned her head and looked at her husband in surprise. What happened? I need to make a trip to the Nancheng Restaurant now. Some city leaders are waiting for me there. Su Yuntang threw off the quilt and quickly got out of bed. But youre not well yet. The fever is gone, it wont be a problem. Do you need me to apany you? No need, I wille back after having a meal. This time its probably a work-rted discussion. It wouldnt be convenient for you to go. Okay. Jiang Yi nodded, although she felt a bit uneasy inside. For so many years, as the wife of the Su family, she had an easy life. Her husband had a smooth career, and everything seemed to be perfect. Su Yuntang had always been kind to her. Even after such a big incidentst time, he didnty a hand on her. He only lectured her afterward, but not excessively. But Jiang Yi always felt uneasy. What was the reason? Ya Jin had been dead for twenty years now, so why couldnt she settle down? Watching Su Yuntang get dressed, Jiang Yi handed over his briefcase and suddenly said, Wifey, have you thought about my suggestion of having a second child? Su Yuntang was stunned. Didnt I already decline this proposition? But Ive been to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my body is in excellent condition and I can definitely have another child. You are already considered an elderly pregnant woman, and having a second child is very exhausting. Im only forty years old, its not exhausting. Besides, for you, for the Su family, whatever I do, however tiring it may be, Im willing to do it, Yuntang. Jiang Yi looked at her husband, her voice gentle and her eyes affectionate. I have always wanted to give you a son, you know. Su Yuntangs face showed a touched expression, Jiang Yi, I really owe you a lot over the years, but as for the idea of a second child, lets discuss itter. Ive just taken office and dont have the extra energy.
    Okay. Jiang Yi didnt force it. The couple spoke as they went downstairs, Jiang Yi kept sending off Su Yuntang until he drove away, and she waved with a significant smile. ** Su Yuntang was rushing to the Nancheng restaurant in his car, but when he was almost there, there was a traffic jam at the intersection.
    He checked the time, he was running out of it. Su Yuntang waited another five minutes, then got out of the car. The driver looked surprised. Sir? I can walk over there, you take the car back to the restaurantter. Okay. Su Yuntang got out of the car and quickly crossed the traffic to the side of the road. Today was the 29th of lunar new year, the streets were filled with people doing their New Years Shopping, and it seemed like everyone was smiling. But Su Yuntang couldntugh at all. After all, he had just taken office, and the senior leaders in the department were dining with several city leaders today. If he, the newly appointed director, waste, it would cause a stir. Even if he wasnt well, that was no excuse for beingte. He had schemed and struggled for many years, but the higher the position he held, the more he realized that he needed to be very careful and couldnt ck off at all Su Yuntang, as he was walking, suddenly stopped. He stared at the familiar red figure in front of him, his eyes wide open, his face showing a series of shocks, and his lips turning white inch by inch.
    Finally, he hesitated to say a word, Ya Jin? The woman in front seemed to halt her steps. Su Yuntangs heart immediately began to pound, his initial shock turned into surging excitement. He quickly walked forward, trying to catch up, and kept shouting, Ya Jin, is that you, Ya Jin? Suddenly, he felt a hard blow to his neck. Su Yuntang felt his vision darken, his body tipping forward, and he fell to the ground, fainting. The noisy street suddenly had people shouting, Someones been hit! Someones been hit! Call 110! ** In the hospital room. Wanwan was sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eating a few slices of oranges. Then she regretted it. She thought she shouldnt havee! What kind of visit was this!
    Obviously, Xiao Yebai, the patient, didnt seem to wee her visit at all. He just sat on his hospital bed coldly, without watching TV, eating, or talking. He was like a mummy. Finally, Wanwan couldnt help but get up, Well, Im going to go first. Chapter 546: 546, Mummy General Xiao Chapter 546: 546, Mummy General Xiao Su Wanwan could no longer hold back and stood up, I will head home first. As soon as she finished speaking, the mummy showed some reaction. He even turned his head to look at her, the poker face remained emotionless, but it made people think she couldnt help but expect something from him. Isnt it too early? Mo Weiyi nced at the time, Ill call Uncle Liu to get you home. Wait a little longer. No need, I can take a cab home. Su Wanwan couldnt help but mutter to herself, how could they not see that your husband cant wait for me to leave? Never mind. Its better toyfortably at home than to be the third wheel in a hospital room. To her surprise, Mo Weiyi insisted, How can that be? I promised Mr. Huo to send you home. After saying that, she stood up directly, I got it, lets take a cab home together.
    Xiao Yebai: Su Wanwan: Aunt Zhou, have you packed everything up? Were going home. Mo Weiyi began to instruct Aunt Zhou. She walked over and just packed up the thermos on the table. The mummy finally spoke, Leaving now? Yeah. Will youe back at noon? Right now is noon, isnt it? Mo Weiyi looked innocent. Aunt Zhou can bring you foodter, I wont being. Mr. Xiao, it turns out you can talk? Su Wanwan couldnt help but open her mouth. Xiao Yebai gave her a faint look, So? Nothing much. Su Wanwan smiled, I havent heard you speak since I came in, I thought you were very seriously ill, so ill that you couldnt speak. Xiao Yebai directly turned his face away, gazing coldly out of the window. Su Wanwan: Shit. Why is this Mr. Xiao so childish? If he loses the argument, he just turns his face away and ignores her. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why does it feel a bit like Fu Ziyang? Ziyang, Ziyang, you cant be like this when you grow up, its not cute at all! Forget it, Weiyi, you should stay and apany your husband. Su Wanwan gave up, Ill call a cab right now and give you the license te number. Just as her words fell, her phone rang.
    Su Wanwan picked it up to see. It was a local phone number she didnt recognize. She directly ambled. Who is this? Wanwan, its me.
    Upon hearing this voice, Su Wanwans eyebrows knitted together instantaneously, her tone turning cold, Whats the matter? It was indeed from Jiang Yi. What kind of jinxed day is today? Wanwan, can youe to the hospital? Jiang Yi sounded urgent, Your dad had a car ident just now and he is in the emergency room at the First Peoples Hospital. What did you say? Su Wanwans first reaction was disbelief, Didnt you just say he was having a high fever? How did he have a car ident now? I beg you, at least get your story straight when you lie, okay? Wanwan, Im not lying to you, your father really had a car ident. Just as his fever subsided, he went to a meal with the leader, who knew there would be an ident on the way. Now we dont know what the situation is, Im on my way to the hospital. If you dont believe me, just call your dad, I really didnt lie to you. I see. Su Wanwan hung up the phone, Weiyi, I wont be going home for now, I need to go to the Peoples Hospital. What happened? My dad had a car ident, they said hes in the emergency room, I have to go check. Let me go with you. No need, stay here and apany your husband. As she spoke, Su Wanwan quickly grabbed her coat and bag and left straight away. **
    Sitting in the taxi, perhaps because the traffic in Nancheng was so bad today, the car was moving very slowly. Along the way, Su Wanwan was reminded of many things from the past. She didnt like this biased father, but when she heard about his ident, she couldnt help but worry. Blood ties are ultimately indelible. When she finally arrived at the hospital, it had been an hour. The emergency hall on the first floor was almost empty. After asking around, Su Wanwan had to run to the inpatient building. Once she arrived at the ward and pushed the door open, she almost ran into a woman who was heading out. Wanwan, youre here, Jiang Yi said immediately, giving her a beaming smile. Su Wanwan instead looked inside the room. On the hospital bed, Su Yuntang was sitting, making a call on his mobile phone. When he saw her, he paused for a moment, then continued speaking on the phone,Chief Chen, Im really sorry, it was all my fault, and I didnt know that things would turn out this way. , he talked for quite a while. And Su Wanwan just stood there, listening. Jiang Yi also didnt dare leave.
    Only until Su Yuntang hung up did he wear a frown and then he began, Why are you here? Yuntang, Im the one who asked Wanwan toe over, Jiang Yi said hurriedly. Su Wanwan, with a cold demeanor, walked straight in, and gave him a once over, You seem to be alright. Su Yuntang was wearing a crisp, grey shirt and suit trousers, topped with a ck cashmere sweater. Apart from a bruise on his cheek and a slightly weary expression, there didnt appear to be any injuries. However, her words seemed to strike a nerve with Su Yuntang. Have you been wishing for something to happen to your old man? Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh, Chief Su, it was your wife who called me, telling me you had a car ident, imed to be in the ER, with a hint of life-threatening severity, as if getting ready to settle any unfinished business. Did you think I would rush over otherwise? Settle unfinished business? Su Yuntangs face darkened even more. Jiang Yi had to step in, When the driver called me earlier, I was indeed scared and might have exaggerated a bit. Wanwan, dont worry, I have spoken with the doctor, your fathers just a little weak, theres no other physical trauma. Finishing, she looked at her husband, Yuntang, how could you be so careless? How did you manage to faint while walking? Hearing these words, Su Wanwan became even more helpless.
    Faint while walking? Suddenly it became a car ident? Well, well. As for Su Yuntang, he raised his hand to massage his achy neck, without responding. Earlier on the road, he didnt know what came over him, but all of a sudden he thought the woman ahead looked very much like Ya Jin. Dressed in a red coat, with long hair flowing behind her, her frame sleek and graceful. When he tried to catch up with her, something hit his neck out of the blue and he passed out immediately. Looking back now, he must have been seeing things. Ya Jin was dead. And shes been dead for twenty years. He himself had personally been to that medical center, and looked at the death certificate. Pushing that aside, even if she was still alive, she wouldnt still look the same as she did twenty years ago, right? Since Chief Su is all right, I will be taking my leave now, Su Wanwans voice suddenly broke the silence. Jiang Yi, panicked, quickly reached for her husbands arm, gesturing with her eyes. Wait a moment, Su Yuntang finally spoke up. Su Wanwan stopped, turned around, Does Chief Su need anything else? Su Yuntang examined Su Wanwan. Her crystal clear almond eyes and delicate, white oval face, paired with her neat attire and no hint of makeup showed a clean, pure look. He had always thought this daughter of his looked so much like Ya Jin, everytime he saw her, he couldnt help the resentment welling up inside him. But on taking a closer look now, maybe it was because she wasnt wearing makeup, he suddenly thought that, actually the mother-daughter resemnce was only in their eyes. Su Wanwan frowned, rather impatient, Cant you just say what you want to say? Su Yuntang snapped himself out of his thoughts, his expression cold, he said somewhat rigidly, On the second day of the New Year, remember to bring your husband home to see your grandfather. He thought his tone was mild enough, but Su Wanwan didnt appreciate at all, Is that necessary? Wouldnt it be fine if your other daughteres home, do you need me, the eldest daughter who isnt favored? You Yuntang, dont be angry, Jiang Yi quickly intervened, pulling at her husband, then she said, smiling, Wanwan, as a daughter, how could you refuse toe home for an entire year? On the second day of the year, your father is nning to host a celebration banquet. You and Mr. Huo cane, it would be perfect to have a family gathering then. He still wants to hold a celebration banquet after a car ident? Su Wanwans tone became sarcasm, her smile grew more mocking, Chief Su, you should prioritize your health. Cant you hold the banquet until youre fully recovered? Theres no need to rush to show off, right? You ungrateful Su Yuntang found his anger instantly reignited. If it werent for Jiang Yi holding him back, he would have had the urge to get off the bed and confront her physically. Youe when I say you need toe! He took a deep breath, Yanyan wont being home this year. Ah, so thats how it is, Su Wanwan sneered again, Because your other daughter made such a loss of face for you that she cant evene home for the New Year, you have no one to show off, and thats why you want me, your eldest daughter, to step in? Chapter 547: 547, its quite fun to tease. Chapter 547: 547, its quite fun to tease. So thats how it is, Su Wanwan sneered once more. Because of your other daughter, who has embarrassed you so much that you cant even go home for the New Year, you dont have anyone to back you up. So, you decided to let your eldest daughter, me, to do it? One sarcastic remark after another finally got to Su Yuntang, who picked up a teacup from the bedside table and threw it at her. Bastard! Leave now! I disown you as my daughter! Get out of here! With a ng, the teacup hit Su Wanwan and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. Her thick winter clothes shielded her from any pain, and the cup was empty. But Jiang Yi still rushed over worriedly. Wanwan, are you okay? Su Wanwan nced at the shattered ceramic on the floor, lifted her head, forced a smile, and looked at Su Yuntang. Fine. Im leaving now. Then, she turned around and left without looking back. Wanwan, Wanwan! Jiang Yi called out symbolically a few times then turned to her husband. Yuntang, what happened? Wanwan came all this way to see you, cant you control your temper? Didnt you hear what she just said? Talking about posthumous affairs and showing off This evil bitch is purposely trying to anger me! Wanwan just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Jiang Yi soothed. When I called her just now, the moment she heard you were in a car ident, she rushed over. This shows she still cares about you, her father.
    She just wants to gloat over my misfortune! This ungrateful wretch is going to be the death of me someday! Su Yuntang gritted his teeth, his chest heaving in fury. Seeing him like this, Jiang Yi went to the bedside andforted him, rubbing his chest in circles. Okay, dont be angry anymore. Its not good for your health. Su Yuntang took a deep breath and fell silent. * * Su Wanwan realized that she really enjoyed taking revenge. But there was nothing she could do about it. She couldnt hold back. Seeing Su Yuntang so red-faced and flustered amused her. When he didnt need her, he wouldnt make a phone call for months. Shed almost forgotten she had a father. Now that he needed her, he wanted her to bring her husband home. Did he think she was stupid? Wasnt he just trying to have Huo Jingshen prop him up at the celebration for his new position as bureau chief? After all, Huo Jingshen, being the eldest grandson of the Huo family, had both status and identity. His name was like a live billboard. If she had such a son-inw, all the leaders in the bureau and the city, including the rtives in the Su family, would probably see him in a different light. Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. The moment Su Wanwan got into the taxi, her phone rang. It was Huo Jingshen. Baby, hows the situation at the hospital? Hearing the mans mature and maic deep voice, Su Wanwan instantly calmed down. She responded cheerfully, Im fine. They said he just fainted while walking. It wasnt a car ident. He doesnt seem injured at all, quite healthy actually. No need to worry.
    Thats good, Huo Jingshen asked, Are you all right? What could happen to me? Im going home now. Well, I still have to work in the afternoon. Wait for me obediently at home tonight. Okay.
    * * Huo Yuan Group. In the CEOs office, Huo Jingshen put down his phone and dialed the internal line. Ji Jie soon walked in. Huo Jingshen asked him to visit Su Yuntang in the hospital and bring some gifts. After Ji Jie left, Huo Jingshen got up, lit a cigarette and dialed another number on his phone. The call was soon answered. The womans voice drifted over, faint and distant. Is Wanwan okay? Shes fine. Thats good. Huo Jingshens tone was low. Why did you suddenlye to Nancheng? I didnt know Su Yuntang would see me. But dont worry, my people knocked him out immediately. There were many people there, and it was chaotic. It wont be discovered.
    Do you want to meet Wanwan? There was a long silence on the phone. Then, the woman said, Im going back to the UK tomorrow, and theres not enough time. Nevermind, we can talk about it next time. Okay. Huo Jingshen didnt insist. After hanging up, he saw that Su Wanwan had just sent a WeChat message: [Honey, why are you standing outside the mall?] Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow and replied, [What do you mean?] Su Wanwan sent a photo of a cute golden piglet outside a shopping mall. The piglet even had therge red characters for Good fortune for the Year of the Pig on its body. Su Wanwan asked, [What are you doing sneaking around here instead of going to work?] Huo Jingshen: This girl. Feeling happy after teasing him? *
    * The next day was New Years Eve. In the afternoon, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan back to the X Districtpound. Entering the three-story vi of the Huo Family, both Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang were already sitting on the sofa in the living room. An unknown TV stations Spring Festival G was ying on television, with Old Master Huo and Huo Juncheng ying chess on the side, and tempting smell wafting from the kitchen where the housemaids were busy. Seeing Su Wanwan, Fu Ziyang immediately stood up and greeted, Auntie. Su Wanwan went over to greet everyone. Then she patted the little guys head, Ziyang, have you grown taller again? Fu Ziyang, with his chubby face, said, Auntie, we just met two days ago. Su Wanwanughed awkwardly. The little guy was living in the vi next door with Fu Qi, though they were in the same area, it still took over ten minutes to walk there. She had been out early and backte these days, so there was not much chance to see each other. Old Lady Huo came out of the kitchen and indirectly said, Wanwan, you will understand when you have a child. Kids change every day and grow taller every day. Su Wanwan could onlyugh awkwardly. Old Lady Huos desire to hold a great-grandson was only just short of being written on her face.
    Though she was only twenty years old now, and she truly felt that she was still young, she hadnt even graduated from university yet. Even after graduation, there were many interesting things waiting for her to do. Having children was truly too far away for her. By the way, Wanwan, how long is your winter vacation? Old Lady Huo asked again. Su Wanwan said, We start sses on March 2nd. Thats a long time. Do you want to go somewhere? How about letting Ashen take you on a honeymoon? You two havent had a honeymoon after marriage, right? Dont worry, the old man will pay for it. Old Master Huo, who was watching the chess game with a serious face, suddenly let out several cough cough sounds. His wife was encouraging his grandson and granddaughter-inw to go on a honeymoon, and she even wanted him to pay for it? Using his money to earn favor? The olddy was really daydreaming. As for Fu Qi, he pinched his fingers when he heard this. Old Lady Huo had already enthusiastically suggested, I think the Maldives is quite good, Hawaii is also good, or Europe, France, Italy Grandma. Su Wanwan hurriedly interrupted her, Im interning right now, I have to go back to work on the fifth day of the new year. Internship? Su Wanwan nodded. Whichpany? A TV station under Huanyu Media. Huanyu Media? What do they do? Old Lady Huo frowned. Huo Juncheng said, Isnt that Gu Lau Qispany? Gu Lau Qi? Juncheng, are you talking about Huaian? Old Lady Huo immediately frowned, He runs an entertainmentpany, right? Wanwan, youre not thinking about joining the entertainment industry and bing a star, are you? Although their granddaughter-inw was indeed pretty, and Old Lady herself enjoyed chasing stars, truth be told, the older generation was more conservative, always feeling that the people in the entertainment circle are not from good families. There were just too few girls who could remain unstained. She still hoped that it would be best not to have any ties with the entertainment industry. Wanwan, that wont do, the entertainment industry isplicated. Su Wanwan quickly said, Dont worry, Grandma, Im not bing a star. Then what are you doing? Su Wanwan was a bit embarrassed and could only give a vague reply, I still havent figured it out yet, right now Im doing things rted to the programs production at the television station, I guess its behind the scenes work. Behind the scenes? Old Lady Huo finally rxed a bit. Seeing that Huo Jingshen hade in from the outside, Old Lady quickly said, Ashen, call Mingzhu. Whats going on? Juncheng and Nuanyang have been here for half a day. Tell her to hurry up and bring Zhexi over. Alright. Huo Jingshen had to grab his phone and go out to the balcony to make a call. Old Lady Huo smiled and said, Wanwan, do you know? Zhexi has a girlfriend now, he even mentioned before that he wanted to bring her home to see me. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, Really? Would Huo Zhexi bring Bai Ruwei home? Chapter 548: 548, Gambling on New Years Eve Chapter 548: 548, Gambling on New Years Eve Is Huo Zhexi nning to bring Bai Ruwei home? Yeah, so funny, what kind of girl would be interested in him? Madame Huo couldnt help but criticize, This stinker, all he does is loaf around, he is entirely aimless. The only thing pleasant about him is his good looks, but can good looks fill your stomach? Su Wanwan immediately responded, No, they cant! Can good looks provide for your life? Su Wanwan continued, No, absolutely not! Exactly, thats why I say, I need to get a good look at who this blind girl is! She must have a serious case of nearsightedness! Su Wanwan let out a stifledugh, unable to hold back any longer. What a blood rtive! She sports pinpoint uracy in her criticism! **
    A ck Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the X District mansion. Mingzhu put down her phone and looked at her son,Zhexi, are you still in contact with Bai Ruwei? Mom, how many times have I told you, weve broken up! Really? Mingzhu looked skeptical. She had seen too many girls like Bai Ruwei. The Ming Family was also a prestigious family in Nancheng, Mingzhus own father, Ming Xiaowei, was a womanizer. They only had two daughters because her mother wasnt able to have any more children despite the desire for a son. Because of this, Ming Xiaowei was very dissatisfied with her mother. The patriarch of the Ming Family had a bit of an old-fashioned mindset. Since the elder son had no heir, he gradually allocated his family business shares to his second son. Over the years, Ming Xiaowei had contemted divorce many times, and there were many women who wanted to use various methods to be the matriarch of the Ming Family. But in the end, all their ns were thwarted by the collective efforts of the mother and her two daughters. Thus, there was even a rumor in the outside world that the most formidable women in Nancheng were all concentrated in the Ming Family, iming it was too overwhelming and eerie! Yet, Mingzhu was fully aware, had it not been for their collective efforts to deal with the mistresses, the Ming Family might no longer be a ce for the mother and daughters. As a woman, you cant show any mercy or leniency. Especially in matters of marriage, one act of leniency and the one who suffers in the end is most likely to be you. No matter how well Bai Ruwei may hide it, Mingzhu believes her judgment is still fairly urate after these years. Clearly, Bai Ruwei is unhappy with ying second fiddle and wants to use Huo Zhexi as a stepping stone. Only her son is so naive that he does not realize hes being used. We really did break up! Huo Zhexi looked at his mother impatiently, Mom, you promised to meet with Xiaoweist time. We waited for you in the restaurant for an hour, but you and Dad went to a friends house for tea. Xiaowei thinks you dislike her and wont agree to let us be together. So she broke up with me on the spot, and she hasnt paid any attention to me since. Hehe. Mingzhu smirked with her red lips, She broke up with you just because I didnt agree? Is she marrying you or me? Huo Zhexis handsome face twisted with frustration, Mom, when Xiaowei and I were together, you said she was vain. Now that we are not together, you still me her? Isnt it always your say? You foolish son! Mingzhu pointed her finger at Huo Zhexis forehead in annoyance, Do you understand the meaning of ying hard to get? This is a woman who knows how to manipte, but she can only fool an idiot egg like you!
    Huo Zhexi squirmed in pain, She hasnt responded to my messages since we broke up, and now I cant even track her down! Its all your fault! I will get angry if you go on! You little rat, do you want to anger me to death? Mingzhu was infuriated, just about to pull his ear. Madam, weve arrived. The driver reminded. Mingzhu could only re at her foolish son, Since youve broken up, youre not allowed to contact her anymore, do you hear me?
    Huo Zhexi grumbled, pulled the door open and left the car. You little rat, stop right there! Mingzhu was so angry she could hardly cope, she had to order the driver to hurry out with the stuff. ** Huo Zhexi stormed into the living room, and upon seeing Su Wanwan sitting on the couch with a naughty smile, he couldnt help but feel more irritated. If this brat hadnt leaked information and badmouthed Xiaowei behind her backst time in the restaurant, Xiaowei wouldnt have broken up with him. However, today is New Years Eve, and his whole family wasing home for the New Years Eve dinner. And currently, there were two outsiders present and even Huo Jingshen was sitting aside. So, all Huo Zhexi could do was bitch in his mind and not dare do anything out of the ordinary on the surface. He quickly looked away, found a seat to sit down, took out his phone, and started sending Bai Ruwei a WeChat message. [Xiaowei, where are you now?] Xiaowei, where are you staying during the school holidays? Today is New Years Eve, what are your ns? Xiaowei, tell me where you are? I want to see you. Xiaowei, why arent you talking to me?
    Xiaowei, I really miss you. The WeChat box was full of messages he sent, filled with words and emoticons, genuine sentiments. But Bai Ruwei was as if she had made up her mind and didnt reply to him. Huo Zhexi didnt understand. He can reach her by phone, why doesnt she pick up? She saw the messages he sent on WeChat, why doesnt she reply? He had already humiliated himself so much. Huo Zhexi swore, this was the first time hed pursued a girl in such an unremitting manner. Its not that he hasnt had a girlfriend before, but every time it was just a casual fling and after sleeping together, hed soon get bored and they would peacefully part ways. He had no idea whats wrong with him this time? Is it because Bai Ruwei was his first? Maybe all men have that kind ofplex?
    Whenever he thought about the fact that he was her first man, the night he broke her defenses, Ruwei cried so miserably, trembling like a helpless kitten, holding him and sobbing, Zhexi, I give myself to youpletely. There was no exaggeration, his heart hadpletely melted at that moment. Moreover, Bai Ruwei was very obedient and docile, never like other women who demanded things from him, whether it was handbags, or jewelry. She didnt want anything, and even after they got together she went to work in a store every day. Besides working in a club, she even helped out in the kitchen of a restaurant, not minding getting dirty or tired. Huo Zhexi knew that her life was tough and her familys situation was bad, so he wanted to treat her well. He didnt expect his mother to oppose so strongly. He didnt understand, didnt he even have the right to like a girl? As Huo Zhexi was dwelling over this, Mingzhu, and the driver came in. It must be said that this daughter-inw was still pretty considerate. Knowing that Mrs. Huo likes orchids, she bought several pots of top-quality orchids. She also brought some premium liquor and snacks such as fruits and nuts. Mr. and Mrs. Huo were old and had a poor appetite. All these things were mostly for the younger generations. It happened that this year, Huo Jingshen got married, brought Su Wanwan home for the New Year, plus there were guests like Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang. Huo Nuanyang also came home early for the holidays, so the usually deserted Huo House suddenly had several young people and was bustling. These things were certainly weed and appreciated. Upon seeing the room full of younger generations, Mrs. Huo spontaneously suggested, Since it is New Years Eve and we have a lot of people, why dont we y Mahjong? We have an automatic mahjong table at home. y Mahjong? Su Wanwans eyes lit up, Yes, yes!
    She had nothing else to do and she didnt enjoy watching TV anyway. Her Mahjong skills were actually pretty good, maybe she could make some money through this. Plus, she would get a New Years bonuster; Wow, she was going to be rich! When Mrs. Huo gave a shout, Mingzhu as her daughter-inw naturally apanied her immediately, Mom, Ill y with you. Now, we need one more person. Mingzhu looked around and invited with a smile, Miss Fu, do you know how to y mahjong? Being suddenly called upon, Fu Qi waved her hand in a hurry, I dont know how to y. Its okay, once I teach you, youll know how to y. Were ying for small stakes. Its the New Year after all, were just hoping to have some fun. Mingzhu was incredibly enthusiastic. But Fu Qi still seemed reluctant, But, Im a bit slow, I really dont know how to y these kinds of games. Grandma, mom, Ill y with you. Huo Zhexi suddenly stood up. As he spoke, his eyes were locked onto Su Wanwan, his mind calcting the odds. You little brat, a grudge not reported is enough to shame a gentleman! Wait and see if I dont win you to death this time! Ill make sure that you lose so much money that youll be crying! Chapter 549: 549, your wife lost money! Chapter 549: 549, your wife lost money! The automatic mahjong table was quickly set up, creating a particrly festive whoosh sound. Huo Jingshen nced at it, then went upstairs with his cellphone in hand. He remembered that during hisst visit home, the olddy promised to rece the bed and the furniture in his room. The automatic mahjong table was bustling with activity, and the first round ended quickly with the olddys winning hand. A hand adorned with a gold ring pushed the tiles forward. It was a bold move indeed. I won! Hahaha! Come on now, 1000 yuan from each of you, quickly transfer it via WeChat! Huo Zhexi rolled his eyes, Grandma, cant we y higher stakes? 100 yuan per set is too low, dont you think? He was hoping to win a little more money from the bratty girl, but ended up winning only 1000 yuan from the olddy in that round? Thats not right. The olddy pretended to be angry and nced at her grandson, Alright, your sister-inw is still studying, so lets y it low key. Su Wanwan felt awkward. 1000 yuan is considered a small sum? Isnt that a lot? Her monthly living expenses are only about 3000 yuan, and now, a third of it is already gone. Shes actually quite poor. After transferring the money, the second round quickly began. This time, Huo Zhexi was determined to y a big hand. He racked his brain, calcting the best move. Could you hurry up, Xiaosan? Su Wanwan couldnt help but knock on the table. Huo Zhexi gave her a re. Xiaosan? Which bitch is she calling that? If Grandma and mom werent present, he would have pped her already. Why are you ring at me? Hurry up and y your hand! Su Wanwan was impatient. Huo Zhexi quickly threw out a five of bamboo pang. Su Wanwan hurriedly checked her own tiles. Peng! The olddy couldnt stopughing, I win again, hahaha. Damn, Grandma, how can you win again? Are you cheating? Huo Zhexi asked what Su Wanwan had been wanting to ask. The olddy pped him, You cheeky boy, who said Im cheating? Its just my lucky day, hahaha. Hurry up, each of you transfer 500 yuan over! Huo Zhexi reluctantly picked up his cellphone, transferring 500 yuan. Everyone else transferred the money quickly as well. Su Wanwan checked the bnce in her cellphone and felt a pang of pain before transferring the money reluctantly. She initially thought that her mahjong skills were quite good. During her first half year in Los Angeles, shed often hang out in casinos and bars, and got to know Ye Qitian and her master, and she learned a thing or two about poker. Considering that Huo Zhexi was a bit foolish and Mingzhu probably was mediocre at the game, Su Wanwan thought shed make a considerable profit, but Experience makes a difference! The olddy was still sharp as ever! Within this time, she had won 1500 yuan from her. Bad move, bad move. Could she quit now? Hurry up, Wanwan, shuffle the tiles! the olddy urged her on. Apparently, the olddy was enjoying her winning streak and had no intention of stopping. Su Wanwan could only pep herself up in silence. What goes aroundes around. It couldnt be that the olddy was going to have all the luck today, right? As though answering her own question, she had some good luck in the third round. After just a few rounds, she had gathered big pairs, consisting entirely of three-of-a-kind pairs. She was just a chick short of winning. Seeing Huo Zhexis slow moves, Su Wanwan once again lost her patience and urged, Hurry up and y, Xiaosan. Youre the only man at the table, and youre always so slow. Huo Zhexi huffed in anger. She called him Xiaosan again. Thats the second time he was called that by this bratty girl today! Feeling resentful, he threw out an eight of characters, only for the olddys excited voice to rise again, Peng! Hahaha! Everyone: I won, I won! Look at these dragon seven pairs. Each of you owes me 1000 yuan! Hurry up and transfer the money! Su Wanwan once again: This has to be rigged! She was just one chick short of winning herself! With a heavy heart, she picked up her cellphone to check her bnce, Err, Grandma, I am out of money on WeChat. Huo Zhexi burst outughing, What a miser! Want to deny your debt after losing, huh? Dont y if you cant afford it, stingy. Plus, its not like youre shy about losing. Mind your own business! Su Wanwan red at him. Granny, Ill chalk it up for now, Ill definitely win in the next round! Alright, alright, Wanwan, you can make a tab. You two, start transferring money to me, 1000 yuan each person, not a cent less. Mrs. Huos eyes were squinting withughter. Mingzhu couldnt stop giggling, while Huo Zhexi and Su Wanwan spurred each other on. They simply refused to believe that Mrs. Huo was going to win all the games today. To their surprise This round ended even faster. After only two or three turns, Mrs. Huo dominated again with a clear-cut straight win. Su Wanwan was simply dumbfounded. God, this olddy was so freaking amazing? She is a living, breathing gambling god! Hurry up and pay up, 500 yuan each! The face of Mrs. Huo was flushed with excitement. Another 500 yuan. Su Wanwan silently counted. Until now, shed lost a total of 3000 yuan, which meant her monthly living expenses were nowpletely depleted. Woe is me. Her heart ached so much. Huo Zhexi didnt care, it was just a few thousand yuan, not even enough for one of his meals. But it was a bit annoying that he couldnt win Wanwans money. However, seeing Su Wanwans grievous expression, he couldnt help but taunt, Out of money already? You can always ask your big brother for some money. Whisper sweet nothings in his ear, and youll see the money pouring in, right? None of your business! Su Wanwan pushed her cards away, rolled up her sleeves, and tucked her hair back behind her ears, Lets continue! She simply refused to believe she couldnt win one game today. Watching Su Wanwans enthusiastic demeanor, Mrs. Huo couldnt help butugh, I like my daughter-inws character! Spend money like water, yet it alwayses back to you! She doesnt even care about money! Zhexi, learn a thing or two from your sister-inw, did you get that? Su Wanwan: Granny, Im not careless about money. In fact, Im so deep in it I cant see a way out. But Huo Zhexi, for once, remained silent. Because he saw some people wereing downstairs. He quickly straightened his clothes and began drawing cards again. Su Wanwan was touching a card, memorizing it intensely. Just as she was about to y one of her tiles, arge hand abruptly gripped her shoulder. Immediately following that, a mans sinister voice whispered into her ear, Baby, having fun? Su Wanwan made a grunting sound, Stop bothering me! Im memorizing the cards! Everyone at the table struggled to hold back theirughter. Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, his tone threatening, Baby, who are you telling to stop bothering you, hmm? The grip on her shoulder tightened, causing Su Wanwan to wince with pain. She hurriedly looked up. Huo Jingshen was beside her, bending slightly over her with one hand around her shoulders and the other on the card table. Fu Qi who had just risen to full height, saw this sight as she walked over. The man was bending slightly over the table, from her perspective, his tall and upright frame seemed to engulf the woman, chair and all. In front of all the elders in the room, he didnt hold back at all. At first nce, there was an indescribable intimacy and naturalness between them. Fu Qi bit her lip lightly and clutched the fruit te in her hand, sharply turning around to sit back on the couch. On the other end, Su Wanwan froze for a moment before suddenly throwing her arms around Huo Jingshens arm. Husband, youre finally here! The stern look on Huo Jingshens face instantly softened. Whats the matter? he asked. I lost money! Su Wanwan pouted, looking quite aggrieved. How much did you lose? Huo Jingshen spoke, ncing at the three people at the table. Those eyes seemed to be saying: As elders, are you shameless to make profits off youngsters? Especially you, Huo Zhexi. As a man, arent you ashamed of winning money off a woman? Su Wanwan pouted even more and said grievously, I lost 3000 yuan and owe granny another 1500 yuan. Im so unlucky. Mrs. Huo burst outughing. Mingzhu also couldnt helpughing. Huo Zhexi had a cold expression. Huo Jingshen curled his thin lips, Really weak, is 3000 yuan so much money? Making it appear as if he was mistreating her. Shed lost just 3000 yuan, as if shed lost her entire fortune. Su Wanwan shot back immediately, The living expenses you give me every month total 3000 yuan, and Ive lost it all. Huo Jingshen: As expected, after hearing this, Mrs. Huo clicked her tongue, Ashen, thats where youre wrong. Whats going on? How can your wifes living expenses be so low? What can 3000 yuan do? As a man, be more generous! From now on, make it 30,000! Thirty thousand? Su Wanwans eyes turned red, Thirty thousand is good, thirty thousand is so good. Granny is right! We should listen to granny! Mrs. Huo and her daughter-inw shared a look and giggled, acting like a pair of cunning foxes. Chapter 550: 550, Boss Huo helps the baby win money Chapter 550: 550, Boss Huo helps the baby win money Grandma Huo and her daughter-inw exchanged nces, a subtle winking and nodding, like they were exchanging coded signals. Theyughed, looking like a hrious pair of sly foxes. Huo Jingshen darkened his handsome face before suddenly reaching out a hand, seizing Su Wanwans arm, Move. Whats wrong? Su Wanwan felt like a small kitten being held up in his surprise grip. The others looked on, surprised. Huo Jingshen then took her vacated seat, spreading his long, attractive fingers on the table. Then he narrowed his dark eyes and said something unbelievable, I will y a few rounds for my precious. Upon hearing those words, Huo Zhexi was the first to object, Big brother, do you need to go this far? Huo Jingshen gave Huo Zhexi a cold sidelong nce, causing him to immediately back down. Damn, hes scolding people again! Who else has objections? Huo Jingshen lifted his smooth, perfect jaw slightly. In his words, there was themanding presence of one who was ustomed to being at the top. Grandma Huo and Mingzhu immediately shook their heads vigorously, We have no objections. In that case, Huo Jingshen gave a small smile, Shuffle the cards. So, Su Wanwan sat behind, watching her husband y cards as though he was a legendary god of gamblers, gracefully picking up cards and dealing, his handsome face glowing with an invincible aura. In a while, he was getting sevens of all suits, clean sequences, and pairs of dragons. Each person pays 1000. Each person pays 1200. Each person pays 800. After a few rounds, he had earned back the 3000 that Su Wanwan had lost, along with the profit. Su Wanwan couldnt contain her joy, while Huo Zhexis fair face darkened more and more, looking like the bottom of a pan. Finally, after Huo Jingshen won another round, Huo Zhexi pushed his cards aside and spoke up in frustration, Big brother, do you have no shame? Taking money from me and my mother. Is that so? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly, Then lets stop ying. Huo Zhexi was surprised. Was big brother being so reasonable today? The next second Including thest round just now, each person pays 1500. My wife lost 3000 initially, and now I have earned 9000 back, three times the amount. Transfer the amount. Huo Zhexi almost vomited blood! Damn. Is he going to let people enjoy their New Years holiday at all? Su Wanwan kept receiving payments on her phone, still somewhat unsatisfied, Husband, keep ying, win more money for your wife! This feeling of sitting idly and receiving money was unbelievably good! Huo Jingshen looked at the young girl. Seeing her unambitious look, he was amused. She had won just a few thousand and was already grinning like a fool. He promptly got up, pulled her up and walked upstairs. Grandma Huo, who had lost money, shouted, Hey, Ashen, where are you going? Its not yet time for dinner, stay and y a few more rounds with me. Huo Jingshen didnt look back, Call Nuanyang. Hearing this, Nuanyang, who had juste down from upstairs, scratched his nose and turned around to climb back up. The voice of Grandma Huo was still echoing loudly downstairs, Hurry up, Juncheng, call your son toe down and y Mahjong with me! Huo Zhexi was furious. Wasnt it enough that his elder brother had just skimmed off their wealth? Now he wanted to call his second brother over to continue shearing sheep? He was definitely focused on exploiting their family, right? What an unscrupulous businessman! A tantly unscrupulous businessman! ** Upon reaching the bedroom upstairs, Huo Jingshen closed the door behind him. Su Wanwan was still excitedly checking the bnce in her mobile wallet, Wow, I made 9000. Ive gotten so rich! Huo Jingshen: Husband, how are you so amazing? Howe you, a foreigner, can y Mahjong so well? Huo Jingshen furrowed his eyebrows, Who are you calling a foreigner? Didnt you grew up in the UK? Your husband is Chinese. Huo Jingshen pinched her cheeks, You cant forget the national essence. Su Wanwan giggled, Your national essence is so powerful, can you teach me your national essence? Huo Jingshen also followed with a chuckle, Husband is even better in other aspects, want me to teach you how to pose? Su Wanwan: Damn! This seasoned pro! He is boundless when he starts making dirty jokes. Cant we have a nice chat? Do you know why Grandma is always the one to win? Huo Jingshen suddenly asked. Why? Huo Jingshen gave augh and revealed the answer, Silly girl, didnt you see how Aunt Mingzhu was always feeding her the right cards? Su Wanwan: Your Aunt is very savvy. Its the New Year, and theyre just aiming to keep Grandma happy. Only a pauper like you has been ying along with them this whole time. Pauper? Su Wanwan felt unhappy. No wonder Granny was always the one to win the game. Mingzhu was sitting upstream of her, and she also had the foolish Huo Zhexi ying along. Its okay, just collect more red packets tonight, Huo Jingshenforted his wife. Mentioning this, Su Wanwan got even more upset, If I collect red packets, you will confiscate them! Recalling howst semester, she had collected a lot of red packets, only for Huo Jingshen to confiscate them all, she was upset. Who wouldve known that Huo Jingshen said, Your husband wont confiscate them this time. Really? Is such good luck possible? Has the crafty businessman changed his ways? Su Wanwan was about tough. Yes, this time remember to hand it over voluntarily. Su Wanwan: Damn! This Huo Shiren who always exploits others! Im not ying with you! Im going downstairs! Su Wanwan abruptly turned around, only to be held back by him, and in the same movement, he locked the bedroom door. Chapter 551: 551, who are you calling an old man? Chapter 551: 551, who are you calling an old man? Su Wanwans little heart also made a thud sound along with the sound of the lock. The mans deep voice rang out, Baby, have you noticed anything different about this room? Huh? Su Wanwan looked up, her clear, contrasting phoenix eyes scanned the room in surprise. Then The bed has been changed? Hmm, grandma personally selected another bed, using grandpas personal funds. Su Wanwan was baffled. Last time I came home for dinner, granny had mentioned that the house was poorly soundproofed, she even said the noises we made were too loud and suggested getting a new and better bed. Didnt expect her to actually go through with it, and the new bed is gigantic! At a nce, it looked big enough to hold four adults!
    This Isnt it too big? blurted out Su Wanwan. Too big? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, Why do I feel like its not big enough? Do you want to try it out right now? Try it out right now? Su Wanwan was like a cat that stepped on its tail, firmly pushing him away, You jerk! You wouldnt be thinking about that now, would you? Its only three in the afternoon, at least wait until night! Huo Jingshen looked at her, his gaze intent, Okay, well try it out tonight then, Ill listen to you, baby. Su Wanwan, Damn, why was he suddenly listening to her? Grinding her teeth, clenching her fists, she held back for a long time, but finally couldnt resist, You old fart! Shameless! Who did you call an old fart? Huo Jingshen instantly frowned. He could put up with anything. But talking about age? Sorry, he couldnt tolerate that. Huo Jingshen scooped up the littledy into his arms. Ahhhhhh A hand covered her mouth, and Huo Jingshen, with his eyes half-closed, reminded her, Although we have a new bed now, the room hasnt been renovated yet, and the soundproofing is still inadequate. Woo woo! Woo woo! Su Wanwans eyes widened, her delicate eyshes trembling constantly, even though her mouth was covered, she was still fervently resisting. But everyone was downstairs, either ying mahjong or watching TV, or ying chess, who could hear the noises upstairs? Huo Jingshen chuckled and reminded her again, Right, Nuanyangs room is right next door.
    Su Wanwans mouth mped shut immediately, not daring to make any more noise. Hes the most innocent and upright soldier in the world, after all! The sweetest person in the world! It would be terrible if he overheard them.
    Even so, the earlier scream had still slipped out through the door, and Fu Qi, who had juste upstairs, heard everything. She was called up by Mingzhu to fetch Huo Nuanyang downstairs for a game of mahjong. She thought she could catch a glimpse of Huo Jingshen and see what his room looked like since he lived there all his life. Who knew she would hear that as soon as she came up Even though the sound was short, she still heard it. Fu Qi stood there, clutching her fingers, her little face turning white. She froze for a long time before she stomped downstairs in a huff. In the living room, Mingzhu saw her and immediately asked, Miss Fu, did you see my son? No. Fu Qi shook her head and walked straight past the living room to the outside of the vi. She didnt have an overcoat, and the weather in Nancheng was particrly dry and cold today. However, Fu Qi seemed to be oblivious to this, and paced around the vi nonstop. Finally, she ended up at the back of the vi. Finding nobody around, she took out her phone and made an international call. As soon as it connected, sheined tearfully to the person on the other end, Sister-inw, Im really upset. Whats the matter? Xiu Xins gentle voice came over the line, Are you not happy in Nancheng? Im not happy. Fu Qi pouted, wanting to cry. I came here to live with Ziyang. Theres a maid to cook every day, but I never see Jingshen. Every time I do, hes with that woman! Arent you guys living together?
    No. Fu Qi was angered by this. Thest time she came to Nancheng, at least she got to stay in the same vi with Huo Jingshen. This time, they had a ce ready in the same residential area. How could such a luxurious vacant vi be avable in the Tianquan Royal Court where every inch ofnd is precious? Surely, this vi was bought by Huo Jingshen. Which means, it was prepared far in advance! She must have known she wanted to stay in Nancheng for a while, and Su Wanwan would have blew in Huo Jingshens ear, not wanting her to live in the same vi! This is utterly treacherous! Theyre acting as if shes a thief trying to steal something! Sister-inw, Im really upset. I really, really like Jingshen. Can you help me? Xiu Xin sighed, Fu Qi, emotional matters cant be helped by others. But Im really upset I have things to do, Fu Qi. You need to listen to Jingshen and not cause trouble for him, okay? Oh. Fu Qi pursed her lips, Sister-inw, can I ask you onest question? What is it?
    Fu Qi asked, Sister-inw, how did you and my big brother get together? She remembered her big brother had always liked Jinghua, but inexplicably, Jinghua disappeared five years ago and her brother quickly married Xiu Xin. Not long after, they brought home the then infant Fu Ziyang. Chapter 552: 552, the secret has been eavesdropped. Chapter 552: 552, the secret has been eavesdropped. She remembered that her eldest brother had always liked Sister Jinghua, but mysteriously, Sister Jinghua disappeared five years ago, and her brother hastily married Xiu Xin. Shortly after, they brought back Fu Ziyang, who was still a baby at the time. Although Sister-inw Xiu Xin wasnt bad, she was gentle and kind, with a good temper. She treated her like a real little sister. But Fu Qi still found it very strange. In the past, she thought that her eldest brother would be with Sister Jinghua forever. She even fantasized that after her brother and Sister Jinghua got married and she married Brother Jingshen, the two families could be closer to each other, they could even have their weddings together. Lets talk about this issueter, its tooplicated. I have to go to the hospital to look after your brother. Fu Qi frowned, Im just thinking, how can I make a man fall in love with me? I regret it now. If I had known that Brother Jingshen didnt like Dong Manjiao, I should have made a move earlier! Can I still take some medicine to make the uncooked rice into cooked rice now? Uncooked rice into cooked rice? Xiu Xinughed, Fu Qi, what are you thinking about? I just think that since Brother Jingshen is already married and cant be with me, I n to offer myself to Brother Jingshen. Ive waited for him for so many years, and Ive kept my body for him, I believe, Brother Jingshen would definitely like it. My goodness, Fu Qi, you must not do anything foolish, understand? Your brother doesnt have time to take care of you now. You have to take good care of yourself in Nancheng. Wait for us to find you. You cant continue thinking like this. Promise me, dont act rashly After advising for a while, Xiu Xin finally said, Okay, remember everything I said. I have to go to the hospital now. Happy New Year.
    Sister-inw, same to you. She hung up the phone, Fu Qi stood there, sighing deeply. Offering herself to Huo Jingshen was a decision she had made recently. She grew up abroad and didnt ce much importance on chastity. Since her many years of love had no oue, why couldnt she offer her best self to Brother Jingshen? She had never had a boyfriend before, and she believed that Brother Jingshen would definitely like her, putting an end to her many years of unrequited love. She confided this private matter to Xiu Xin, expecting to be supported, but she didnt expect Sigh. A sudden gust of cold wind passed by, which was biting cold. Fu Qi turned around mncholically, about to walk away, when she suddenly felt something and raised her head abruptly. As a result, she was scared out of her wits. On the balcony upstairs, a gray-green figure stood tall. It was Brother Jingshens younger brother, his name wasHuo Nuanyang? He was dressed in a gray-green uniform with a deep brown sweater over his shirt tall, with long legs, straight as a pine, with a serious and stern expression, and his eyes even sharper. The direction he was looking at was exactly where she stood. At the thought of Huo Nuanyang being the captain of a special forces team in the X squad, Fu Qi felt so nervous. Had he heard her whole conversation just now? While she was lost in thought, Huo Nuanyangs voice suddenly sounded, What are you doing? Startled, Fu Qi shivered, Nothing.
    Seeing her pale face, Huo Nuanyang frowned. Was he so scary? But even if he was scary, what needed to be said, still needed to be said. As an elder, he couldnt watch a young girl lose her way.
    So Huo Nuanyang continued to say stiffly, My older brother is already married to my sister-inw. Dont disrupt their rtionship. Fu Qis legs began to tremble, she could hardly stand straight. Oh no! He had heard everything. What should she do? The next second, Huo Nuanyang turned around, pulled the ss door open and walked inside. The balcony was suddenly empty. Fu Qi stood there, at first she was surprised, then puzzled, and finally immersed in an unparalleled unease. Would Huo Nuanyang tell Su Wanwan about her n to offer herself? A wave of cold wind hit her, and Fu Qi began to tremble, she was already on the verge of breaking down. ** So, during the New Years Eve dinner, Fu Qi kept ncing at Huo Nuanyang. She was anxious. That man had heard her whole conversation in the afternoon.
    Would he tattle? However, her incessant ncing attracted some peoples attention. Fu Qi, who are you looking at? Su Wanwan asked jokingly. Fu Qi was taken aback and quickly looked away. Catching Su Wanwans squinting eyes, and feeling guilty and nervous, with the added fact that everyone at the table was part of the Huo family, Fu Qi blushed and stammered, Nonothing. Su Wanwan nced at Huo Nuanyang. At that moment, Huo Nuanyang was looking at Fu Qi. Fu Qi inadvertently nced at Huo Nuanyang again and they ended up making eye contact. Fu Qi was caught off guard and quickly lowered her head, almost burying her face in the small bowl. Originally, only Su Wanwan noticed, but now, the reactions of the two had caught the attention of everyone sitting at the table. However, Mingzhu just thought that their eldest son was too handsome. He was fit, he had good temperament, and it was normal for young girls to admire such heroes.
    The other men didnt think too much of it C she was a young girl after all; shy and alone in a strangend. But a chill ran down old Mrs. Huos spine. Oh my, what kind of trouble is this? Could it be that Nuanyang has taken a liking to this Fu Qi? But Fu Qi obviously fancies her great-grandson! What a mess this is. She remembered Xiang Ranxin, who she originally nned to introduce to Huo Nuanyang, but then Ranxinid eyes on Huo Jingshen midway. Even though Huo Nuanyang never said anything about it, she still felt guilty as an elder, always feeling that she owed her second grandson. Its all because their eldest grandson is too outstanding! She looked towards Huo Jingshen. As expected, Huo Jingshen was elegantly removing the shell of a crab for Su Wanwan. He carefully ced the stripped crab roe into his wifes small bowl, gently reminding her, This is yin food, dip it with some vinegar and only eat a little. Hmm. Su Wanwan replied, her mouth full, making it difficult for her to articte.
    The more Mrs. Huo watched, the more pleased she was. Not only was her grandson handsome, but he was also increasingly considerate towards his wife, so no wonder his poprity among women kept growing. It was just a pity for Nuanyang, who was set to face heartbreak again. ** During the New Years Eve dinner, they ate, drank and chatted about family affairs while the Spring Festival G yed on the television screen. The young people didnt seem to be interested in these shows though; after dinner, each of them sat with their smartphones and started ying. Some were snatching red envelopes, some were busy sending New Years blessings through text messages, some were browsing TikTok, and others were ying games. Other than a constantly anxious Fu Qi, everyone else was enjoying the rare Spring Festival holiday. The servants were also busy in the kitchen preparing meat filling and glutinous rice flour, to make Yuanbao dumplings the next morning. In Nancheng, theres a custom to have round Yuanbao and long Yuanbao for breakfast on the morning of the first day of the New Year. Round Yuanbao are sweet dumplings with ck sesame filling, and long Yuanbao are dumplings with meat filling, named for their shapes. When it was a little past nine in the evening, the elders took out their red envelopes and distributed them to the younger generation. Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, Huo Juncheng, and Mingzhu each gave Su Wanwan a red envelope, making her very happy. The rest of the juniors also received four envelopes each. Just as everyone was enjoying the moment, Huo Jingshen suddenly took out a red envelope and handed it to Su Wanwan. Su Wanwans eyes lit up. Her ten-thousand-yuan red envelope! She quickly reached out and took it, Thank you, husband! Huo Zhexi immediately screwed up his handsome face, Brother, thats not fair, youre only giving red envelopes to your wife? What about me?! Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows at him, You want one? Huo Zhexi eagerly nodded his head. Who didnt know that his big brother was a rich tycoon? The money he would give away might be a substantial amount! However, Huo Jingshen smirked wryly, Find a wife who knows how to make money, so that she can give you a red envelope every year. Huo Zhexi: Su Wanwan also: Isnt he lumping her together with that spendthrift Zhexi? Mingzhu spoke up, Enough! Stop acting like a child. Youre 23 years old, and youre still asking your older brother for a red envelope, arent you ashamed? Come on, its time to go home. Huo Zhexi pouted, unhappy, and followed his parents home. As the eldest son, Huo Nuanyang remained seated on the sofa without moving, watching the Spring Festival G with a straight posture. Fu Qi once again started to overthink things. This is not going well! This soldier is nning to stay behind to tattle on her to Su Wanwan, isnt he? What should I do? What should I do? Just as Huo Nuanyang suddenly got up and walked to the balcony, Fu Qi stole a nce at him. Noticing that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly followed him out. Chapter 553: 553, let my brother teach you a lesson! Chapter 553: 553, let my brother teach you a lesson! On the balcony. Huo Nuanyang opened a window and lit a cigarette for himself. He had just taken a puff when a female voice came from behind him. Hey, stinky little brother! Huo Nuanyang turned around. With his long fingers hooked around a half-lit cigarette, a pair of profound ck eyes slightly squinted, his voice deep with an obvious tone of indifference, Whats up? Fu Qi slowly walked over. She came right up to him, her voice lowered to an almost-threatening whisper, Youre not allowed to tell Su Wanwan about what just happened, got it? Faced with her threat, Huo Nuanyang remained indifferent, even casually raising an eyebrow, What thing? Fu Qi sensed that he was ying dumb on purpose.
    Her hands instinctively clenched into fists, her expression attempting to maintain sternness, Anyway, youre not allowed to tell her. If you dare to utter even one word, Ill Youll what? Dared to challenge her words? Fu Qis delicate brows furrowed as she pondered for a while before finally saying, Ill have my big brother sort you out! You do know who my brother is, right? Who is he? Huo Nuanyangs tone remained calm. Fu Qi immediately lifted her chin, saying boastfully, My brothers name is Fu Xihan, he and Brother Jingshen are the most famous Chinese Gemini in the UK. Anyone he wants to deal with, its as easy as squishing an ant for him! After she said that, Fu Qi started tough, So, you get my point, right? A young woman in her twenties, dressed in a frail and gentle white sundress, trying to intimidate him? With his ck eyes squinted, Huo Nuanyang appeared somewhat speechless. Fu Qi, unable to hold back her irritation, Did you hear what I said? Huo Nuanyang didnt reply, he simply put the cigarette between his lips, turned around again, and gazed outside the window. The sparks of the cigarette flickered, the corridor light was dim, the expression on the mans face appeared somewhat indistinct in the obscurity. Hey, stinky little brother, stop right there! As her words fell, the man suddenly spun around. Fu Qi got a bit frightened. Huo Nuanyang towered over her, his pitch-ck gaze staring at her, Is it customary for girls growing up in foreign countries tock manners like you? Fu Qi was taken aback. Lacking manners? How was shecking manners?
    Before she could react, Huo Nuanyang extinguished his cigarette, casually tossing it out of the window. Without a word, he turned to head back towards the living room. Fu Qi stood there, watching as his tall figure retreated, her small face filled with confusion. So, was the threat effective or not? Did this stinky little brother actually listen to her words?
    Feeling helpless at being caught out was truly frustrating! * * Upon returning to the living room and just getting seated, Su Wanwans voice echoed, Fu Qi, what were you doing outside? It was just a casual question, but Fu Qi guiltily responded with an unfriendly tone, Whats it to you? Su Wanwan shrugged, Grandma said theres no room left to sleep here, theyre about to ask someone to send you home. They have been looking for you just now. Am I going home to sleep by myself? Fu Qi instantly got anxious, What about Ziyang? Ziyang is staying here, he has his own room. Fu Qi was visibly frightened, But Im scared to sleep alone, and that vi is too big, the servants have gone home. There used to be two servants with Fu Ziyang at least in that vi. Now that Ziyang was staying here and the servants were onlying back the day after tomorrow. Granny Huoughed, Well Miss Fu, why dont you sleep in the same room as Ziyang? The bed in that room is quite big. Both of you can share for tonight. Fu Qi furrowed her brows. She was truly afraid to sleep alone, but staying in someone elses house, she didnt feel right being too picky. Finally, she nodded, Thank you, Granny Huo. Ill bother you all for one night then.
    Its okay, its okay. Granny Huo smiled. * * Nancheng has the tradition of staying upte on New Years Eve, but both Mr. and Mrs. Huo were getting up in years, they didnt reside in it. Huo Jingshen quickly brought Su Wanwan to their room, leaving Fu Qi with no choice but to follow Fu Ziyang to the bedroom upstairs. She thought it would just be a temporary small room, but Fu Qi looked at the luxurious childrens room, utterly surprised, Ziyang, is Granny Huo really this nice to you? So many toys, learning tools, a closet full of clothes for all seasons. She casually picked up a piece, all of them were internationally well-known brands! Fu Qi had grown up with her brother ever since their parents passed away at an early age, but now she felt, if her parents were still alive, perhaps this would be the extent of their love for their grandchildren? Fu Ziyang looked at her, his little face serious, but his tone was cute, Little aunty, dont mess with my stuff. Fu Qi: Returning the clothes to their ce, she couldnt help muttering under her breath, Stingy!
    Once she had finished washing up andid on the bed, she couldnt resist beginning her lecture, Ziyang, why have you be distant with your little aunty? Dont you like your little aunty anymore? During the New Years Eve dinner, the kid was all about great-grandpa, great-grandma, little aunt, barely speaking with her. Even about spending the night, it was Granny Huo who proposed it. In the darkness, Fu Ziyang enunciated clearly, Little Aunty, as long as you dont disrupt the rtionship between little aunty and Uncle Huo, Ill still be close with you. I didnt interrupt any rtionship! I didnt do anything wrong! What does a five-year-old know about disrupting rtionships? It must be that little bully Su Wanwan instilling these ideas in his head, right? Fu Ziyang didnt say anything. Chapter 554: 554, help wife steal alcohol Chapter 554: 554, help wife steal alcohol Fu Qi angrily spoke, Ziyang, your Uncle Huo was originally mine, until your aunt suddenly appeared and stole him from me. If it hadnt been for her, your Uncle Huo could have been your uncle. Do you understand? Fu Ziyang remained silent. You should not listen to everything your aunt tells you. That woman is quite crafty! Ziyang? Ziyang? Fu Qi shouted several times, but all she heard was Fu Ziyangs snoring. Was he really asleep? Fu Qi closed her eyes in irritation. How long has this little scamp known Su Wanwan? How could he be so quick to switch his loyalty? What kind of fox-like charm did Su Wanwan use? Brother Jingshen sides with her!
    And now, even Fu Ziyang is doing the same! Its just infuriating! * * Next door. Huo Jingshen gave his wife a speechless look as she sat on the bed, with five red packets in front of her, which she was opening one by one. First, she opened the red packet from old Master Huo. Grandpa gave me a New Years gift of 8,888 RMB! Then she opened the red packet from old Madame Huo. Wow, also 8,888 RMB, and a bank card! Su Wanwan was shocked. Even though she didnt know how much money was on the card theres a bank card! At least it should start at 100,000, right? The thoughtful olddy even provided the password. Grandma is so good to me! It must be because she noticed how harsh a certain person was on her during the mahjong game, only giving her 3,000 thumb money each month, so she secretly gave her a bank card. Grandma, you really are my sweet grandma! Su Wanwan wanted to rush next door and give the olddy a big hug! She was so moved that she was on the verge of tears. Huo Jingshen gripped his hand as he looked at his wifes shameless expression it really was beyond words.
    Then, Su Wanwan sessively looked at the red packets from Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu. The couple also gave 8,888 RMB each, probably the elders all decided on this amount, aiming for a good and lucky start. Finally, Su Wanwan solemnly picked up the red packet from Huo Jingshen, Now, its time to test you! Huo Jingshen:
    Su Wanwan opened up the red packet and pulled out a stack of RMB bills. She exploded instantly, Didnt we agree on 10,000 RMB? Not even counting, the thickness clearly wasnt that of 10,000! Such a cheapskate. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Why dont you count, sweetheart? Why dont you just tell me directly? Dont you love counting money the most, sweetheart? Su Wanwan: As if she is a mini tycoon! Su Wanwan huffed twice and began counting the money. A hundred, two hundred, three hundred Yum, smells good. Finally, she finished counting. Su Wanwan frowned, Why is it not 10,000!
    New Years money is meant to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. Why do you need so much? Huo Jingshen said seriously. Who are you fooling? Su Wanwan put away all the money. Arent you curious why its 7777? Why? Su Wanwan inquisitively asked. Because Ride, Ride, Ride, Ride What do you mean? Su Wanwan still didnt understand. Youll find outter, sweetheart. After hinting, Huo Jingshen headed towards the bathroom after closing the bedroom door, Ill go fill up the bath. Wait a minute! Su Wanwan suddenly called out to him. What now? Su Wanwan rubbed her little hands together, wearing a somewhat ttering smile, Its New Years day, can I have a little drink? Huo Jingshen: That girl. Is her alcohol addiction so strong?
    I was too shy to drink just now, only had two to three sips, yet the wine was really nice. After saying this, Su Wanwan leapt from the bed and swayed Huo Jingshens arm back and forth, Hubby, can you please go downstairs and sneak a couple of bottles of wine back? Huo Jingshen again: Come on, hubby, hubby, hubby, please hubby Each plea softer and sweeter than thest. A movement flickered in Huo Jingshens eyes, Okay. Ill keep an eye out for you! Su Wanwan immediately ran over, opened the bedroom door, looked left and right, and gestured deceitfully, Quick, theres no one in the hallway. Huo Jingshen: Its his own home, just going downstairs to get a bottle of wine. Why so sneaky? Hurry up! Su Wanwan urged. Before Huo Jingshen left, she reminded him, Be careful, dont let grandma and grandpa find out. I cant destroy my good daughter-inw image! Mm-hmm. Huo Jingshen replied casually and walked out of the room. Su Wanwan immediately closed the bedroom door, went back and carefully stashed away the money from the red packets. She was scared that after he returned he might confiscate it, so she hid all the money in the innermost part of her bag.
    Now, he wont be able to find it, right? Atst, she dodged a bullet! As for Huo Jingshen. As soon as he got downstairs, he found Huo Nuanyang still sitting on the living room sofawatching the Spring Festival G? Hearing the noise, Huo Nuanyang turned his head and nodded in greeting, Brother. Huo Jingshen also nodded gracefully before heading toward the dining room. But The bottles of red wine that were originally in the cab were gone. He had no choice but to walk out again, Nuanyang, do you know where the dining rooms red wine was put? Huo Nuanyang said, I dont know, maybe ask Aunt Xiu? There were only two housekeepers staying over for the New Year. After tidying up, they went back to their rooms to rest and watch the Spring Festival G. Huo Jingshen didnt want to disturb them, so he said, Ill go check in the kitchen. Chapter 555: 555, Wanwan is drunk Chapter 555: 555, Wanwan is drunk As soon as the man went into the kitchen, Huo Nuanyang turned off the television and went upstairs. But as he approached the second floor, Grandfather Huo, having put on a jacket, came out. Grandpa. Grandfather Huo looked at his second grandson, Why arent you taking a rest yet? Im going to bed now. Grandpa, you should rest early too. Mm. Grandfather Huo went downstairs, intending to go to his study, but he heard some rustling noisesing from the kitchen. He instantly furrowed his brows. Given theteness of the hour, the two servants should have finished their work and returned to their rooms to watch the Spring Festival G. Why would someone still be in the kitchen? Who could it be? It couldnt be a thief in our house during Chinese New Year, could it? Grandfather Huo took his walking stick and went to check. But when he reached the kitchen doorway, he found Huo Jingshen bending over and rummaging through the cupboards with a bottle of red wine in his hand. What the hell are you doing sneaking around like that! An rmingly loud voice suddenly rang out. Huo Jingshen: In the end, Huo Jingshen left the kitchen with a dark face, holding two bottles of red wine. When he entered his room, Grandfather Huo also quickly retreated to his own. Grandma Huo had just finished her bath. She was now wearing a pink nightgown, a cat-shaped facial mask on her face, and watching Cai Mingsedy show for the Spring Festival on the sofa. Hearing the elderly mans noise, she scolded impatiently, Old man, stop making so much noise. Itste. Dont wander around outside and disturb Ashen and Wanwans rest. Rest! My ass! Grandfather Huo roared, red-faced and neck bulging. Grandma Huo was so startled that her facial mask almost fell off, Old man, why are you getting so angry? Grandfather Huo grumbled, I went downstairs to find a book, and this brat was stealing wine in the kitchen. I was so scared I thought we had a thief in the house. A thief in the house during the New Year? Our grandson and granddaughter-inw really know how to enjoy lifespending New Years Eve behind closed doors, drinking red wine. How romantic, Grandma Huo said, her eyes sparkling. Grandfather Huo brushed her off dismissively. Grandma Huo suddenly moved closer, her hand holding up her facial mask, Old man, should we also get romantic? Grandfather Huo looked at his wifes scary cat face, his own turning colder. He leaned his walking stick against the wall, waved her off, and went straight into the bathroom. The door to the bathroom was closed with a bang. Grandma Huo: This old man really doesnt know how to romance! When he was young, he would concoct all kinds of romantic ns to woo her. Now hes just an old grump! Indeed, all men are insufferable! Once they get what they want, they start taking it for granted! * * In the bedroom next door. Huo Jingshen returned to the room with a dark face. Su Wanwan immediately snatched the red wine from his hands, Great job, hubby! Just as she was about to open the bottle, Huo Jingshen hugged her tight. You ungrateful little thing, I just got caught taking the wine by grandpa. Hearing this, Su Wanwan quickly turned around, You didnt say it was me who wanted the wine, did you? No. Good boy! Su Wanwan hugged him as a reward. Huo Jingshens frown finally eased somewhat. For her good daughter-inw image, Huo Jingshen was scolded by Grandfather Huo downstairs. Being scolded for stealing wine and scaring the older generation on Chinese New Years Eve was truly ridiculous. But watching this little girl pour the red wine, sit on the sofa, and enjoy sip after sip with her eyes squinted Oh, she was enjoying herself a lot! Huo Jingshen closed the bedroom door and walked over to her. Hmm! This wine is really good! Delicious! Huo Jingshen said, Lafite from 82, of course its good. The wine was brought by Mingzhu. Two bottles were opened during the New Years Eve dinner. Huo Juncheng and Huo Zhexi had most of it, while everyone else only had a ceremonial ss each. Because she ate a lot and drank a little at dinner, Su Wanwan was still craving more wine. Now that they were alone, she held the wine bottle and took one gulp after another. She finished a bottle fast and started opening the second bottle. Huo Jingshen barely touched his ss. While he was searching for his pajamas in the wardrobe, he turned around and found Su Wanwan already holding the second bottle, ready to drink again. He walked over and took the wine bottle away, Stop, you cant drink any more. Having had a bit too much to drink, Su Wanwan protested, No, I havent had enough. You havent had enough? Huo Jingshen shook the bottle, Almost two bottles now, huh? Su Wanwan demanded, Go steal some more from downstairs for me. Steal more? Huo Jingshen stated categorically, No! Once was embarrassing enough. A second time? Does he no longer care about his dignity? Besides, considering thete hour A moment of romantic spring night is priceless. Itd be better doing something other than stealing wine. With a pout on her face, Su Wanwan seemed upset, her cheeks flushed. Whether it was the alcohol or something else, she looked and sounded terribly wronged, But I want to drink. Huo Jingshen immediately stood up, Get ready for bed. Ill go run a bath for you. Su Wanwan stayed silent. But when Huo Jingshen came back from preparing the bath, he heard crying soundsing from the bedroom. Su Wanwan was lying on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with tears, breathing heavily as if she had been greatly wronged. With a sigh, he rubbed his temples, went over and pulled open the nket, Why are you crying? Su Wanwan sniffled, looking utterly wronged, I want to drink. You still want to drink? How is it that you can drink so much? Huo Jingshen couldnt help but scold her in a low voice. Su Wanwan pouted and mumbled, I want to drink! Today is Chinese New Years Eve! Youre so unamodating! Huo Jingshen was so irritated, he pinched her cheek. Chapter 556: 556, the world is truly degenerating Chapter 556: 556, the world is truly degenerating Baby, would you like to take a bath first? No no no! Su Wanwan shook her head like a bobblehead toy. The more she shook her head, the more muddled her mind became, and her little face became redder and redder. She was clearly showing signs of drunkenness. Seeing the little girls silly appearance, Huo Jingshen couldnt help but chuckle, Good girl, take a bath first, and you can continue drinking afterwards. She was already drunk anyway. Sure enough, Su Wanwan tilted her little head as if she was thinking, then raised her hands and hugged him, Alright then. Her little voice after getting drunk was also soft and somewhat spoiled. Very good. Huo Jingshen held her in his arms. Husband, you are so nice! Su Wanwan squinted her phoenix eyes with a smile. She was so well-behaved. Huo Jingshens mood also lightened significantly. Indeed, giving the little girl a bit of alcohol was the right choice. After drinking, she was so well-behaved. It seems that he could give her more alcohol in the future. New Years Eve. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of firecrackers from outside the window echoed from time to time. Fu Qi hadnt been able to sleep either. She had a bit of trouble adapting to new sleeping environments. Ever since she arrived in Nancheng, she hadnt been sleeping very well at night. She switched the ce again tonight, and was now in a childrens room. Although the bed was quite big, she just wasnt used to it, and the little ones snoring was quite loud! Just as she finally fell asleep, the deafening sound of firecrackers from outside the window woke her up again. Fu Qi had no choice but to get up and close the window further. She nced at the time, it was already past midnight. Back in bed, the sound of firecrackers kepting in, she tossed and turned for a while, then suddenly needed to use the bathroom. She wanted to hold it in at first, after all, there was no bathroom in this room, and she would have to go downstairs if she had to, making too much noise could disturb others wouldnt be good. After all, she was staying at someone elses house, Fu Qi wanted to save face. However The need to use the bathroom the more you try to suppress it, the more unbearable it gets. After holding it in for about half an hour, finally, Fu Qi couldnt hold it anymore and got up. The corridor was lit with a dim light. Fu Qi, wearing her coat, hurriedly went to the bathroom downstairs. She felt rxed all over after using the bathroom. When she was on her way back upstairs, passing by Huo Jingshens bedroom, a strange noise suddenly came out, which frightened her to a stop. The room door was closed, but Possibly because it waste at night, everyone had already gone to bed, the room was extremely quiet. Abruptly, the sound of firecrackers outside had stopped, and the old house wasnt very soundproof, so the sound from the room came through clear and direct. Fu Qi stood there, dumbfounded. Without exaggeration, it was like a thunderbolt striking her forehead on a clear day, leaving her brainpletely nk, unsure what to do and even forgetting to head back to her room. She listened for as long as the noisested. Until a set of footsteps came from behind her. Fu Qi even turned around. And found herself unavoidably looking directly into a pair of cold, dark eyes. A few secondster, she seemed to finallye to her senses, rushed to open a door and walk through. With a snap, the corridor returned to its previous quiet state. Huo Nuanyang stood there, initially somewhat perplexed, until the blush-inducing sound suddenly emerged again. His usually solemn face showed a hint of fluctuation. The dark eyes looked towards the door to the childrens room, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Did girls who grew up abroad enjoy eavesdropping on other peoples intimate moments? The world had truly gone to the dogs! * * On one hand, it was passionate. On the other hand, at the old Mo Family house located on the other side of the city, things were significantly quieter and more deste. Chapter 557: 557, young master Xiao is missing Chapter 557: 557, young master Xiao is missing Half of the servants and bodyguards had gone home for Spring Festival. Given the old master Mos poor heart condition and the absence of children in the house, there were not any firecrackers or such things. Thus, the festive atmosphere was much muted. This New Years Eve seemed no different from the past years, except for the absence of one person. Still, the New Years Eve dinner was as splendid as ever. Old master Mo and Mo Yaoxiong each handed out red envelopes symbolically to Mo Weiyi and the servants and bodyguards staying behind. Old master Mo didnt eat much and didnt drink any alcohol. He excused himself early to watch the Spring Festival G in the living room, reclining in the Taishi Chair. In the dining room, Mo Yaoxiong took a sip of red wine and looked at his daughter with inebriated eyes. Weiyi, hows it going with Yebai? Mo Weiyi replied perfunctorily, Its okay. What do you mean by okay? Mo Yaoxiong looked at his daughter. The divorce thing, has it all passed? Mo Weiyi thought for a moment. She didnt want her father to worry about such trivial things, so she nodded. Mo Yaoxiong finally rxed. He then took out an invitation and handed it over. This is an invitation to Gu Familys birthday party in a few days. You go on my behalf.
    Me? Originally, I wanted Yebai to go with you, but who knew he would suddenly be hospitalized. Let Rong An apany you. Its a gathering of young people, I wont go. Okay. Mo Weiyi epted the invitation. It was actually handwritten by Gu Huaian using ck ink. The handwriting was powerful and elegant, very beautiful. But still Xiaobais handwriting was even more beautiful. Just as Mo Weiyi was thinking this, Mo Yaoxiongs voice echoed again, Your mothers death anniversary ising soon. Do you remember which day it is? The sixteenth of the first month. Mo Yaoxiong nodded approvingly. Okay, thats all for now. After the New Years Eve dinner, you go to the hospital to see Yebai. Okay. This year was New Years Eve, and as a patient, he didnt necessarily have to stay in the hospital. However, as the Mo family didnt care much about the Spring Festival in recent years and Mo Weiyi didnt want the hassle of going back and forth, she simply didnt let hime back. At this moment, thinking about him lying alone in the hospital room, she felt a pang of sorrow. Mo Weiyi pulled out her phone, thinking about giving him a call, when a call suddenly came through on her screen. Aunt Zhou? As soon as she answered, she heard Aunt Zhou say anxiously, Its not good, Princess, young master Xiao is missing. What do you mean? Mo Weiyi was caught off guard. Isnt he hospitalized?
    How could he just disappear without a trace? I just went downstairs to take out the trash, and when I came back, there was no one in the room. I searched everywhere and couldnt find young master Xiao. His phone is off, and when I asked the doctor, he said he has been discharged. What the hell!? Mo Weiyi didnt expect Xiao Yebai to pull a stunt like this.
    He was severely ill, why couldnt he stay in the hospital? She quickly hung up, dialed Xiao Yebais number. As expected, it was answered quickly. Mo Weiyi immediately started cursing on the phone, Are you crazy? Why did you leave the hospital on New Years Eve? And you didnt tell me. Why didnt you pick up Aunt Zhous call? Where are you now? At home. Lishui Bay? Yeah. Stay right there! Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, her voice full of impatience. Mo Yaoxiong watched his rarely flustered daughter, Weiyi, what happened? Its okay. Mo Weiyi curled her red lips and smiled eerily. Someone suddenly felt like going back home. Im going home to check. Mo Yaoxiong: * *
    Mo Weiyi let Rong An drive her to the Lishui Bay Vi. Starting from yesterday, Aunt Zhou had been transferred back to the old house. Mo Weiyi was also staying at the old house, therefore there were no servants in the vi. The bright lights signaled clearly that someone was home. Mo Weiyi felt relieved. As she got out of the car, she told Rong An, You can go back now. Rong An nodded, Okay. After Mo Weiyi exited the car, he sat behind the wheel, watching her slender figure disappear into the vi. The car remained stationary. Rong An continued to sit in the drivers seat, his gaze fixed on the lights of the vi until the lights in the upstairs bedroom were turned off about two hourster. He lowered his head, started the engine, the ck Audi slowly backed up, made a turn, and left the yard. * * After Mo Weiyi entered the vi, she went straight to the second floor. The bedroom door was left open. As she walked over, she saw a handsome man sitting on the light yellow couch. Underneath his ck short hair was a handsome, cold face with no expression.
    Without the disguise of sses, his facial features seemed somewhat hard, more profound and difficult to understand with a nce. Mo Weiyi walked over and stood in front of him. First, she put down her bag. Then she unbuttoned her coat, took it off, leaving only the long red dress on her. She rolled up the loose sleeve of her dress, and asked, What were you thinking? Why did you suddenly check out of the hospital? Xiao Yebai gave her a smile that wasnt quite a smile. Did you do it on purpose? Mo Weiyi looked at his handsome face, slightly too close, close enough to smell the familiar cool scent on him. She took a step back, her small face still serious, What do you mean? Xiao Yebai stood up. The difference in height made the distance Mo Weiyi thought was safe suddenly disappear. Instead, the man was a head taller than her, looking down at her from above, creating an even more imposing aura. Chapter 558: 558, Weiyi has changed [Benefits] Chapter 558: 558, Weiyi has changed [Benefits] He said, Weiyi, youve changed. His dark eyes, seemingly unfathomable, bore into hers. His voice, clean and serene, continued, You didnt use to be like this. Mo Weiyi wore a face of innocence. What are you talking about? Youre still not well, and Dr. Yu isnt home. You cant get your IV here, is it wrong to ask you to stay in the hospital? Xiao Yebai: Its okay. Mo Weiyi fluttered her clear ck and white eyes, So? The corners of his lips lifted in a light smile. Xiao Yebai extended his hand, I want to take a shower. The sudden change in conversation made Mo Weiyi flustered, Take a shower? Hmm. Cant you take it yourself? She still wore a thick winter dress, a tad bulky.
    He was only wearing a thin shirt and trousers. The heater was on in the bedroom, making it a bit warm. A nce told her he must have been back for at least half an hour. The heater had been on for quite some time. Having been back for such a long time, why hadnt he showered? I am a patient, dered Xiao Yebai. A patient? Mo Weiyi looked at him. In his elegant and well-dressed appearance, he didnt look like a patient at all. Although he truly was a patient. She said, But havent you been showering on your own these past two days? Every evening after feeding him, she would go home. He was an extremely clean person who had a penchant for hygiene, he wouldnt let anyone else help him bathe. Besides, he only had a stomach bleed. It wasnt like he had lost an arm or a leg and couldnt take a bath. Underneath the bright bathroom light, Xiao Yebai looked at her, his gaze deep, his voice leisurely, You can help me. Mo Weiyi gulped nervously, Are you sure? Help him shower, she was afraid she might lose control. Hmm. Xiao Yebai said, his fair hand already moving to the buttons of his shirt. Mo Weiyi was flustered and hurriedly said, Ill go prepare your bath. Saying so, she immediately turned to leave for the bathroom. What a devil!
    He clearly knew she couldnt resist his allure. Purposely! He was definitely doing it on purpose! *
    * The bathroom faucet was pouring warm water into therge, clean bathtub at just the right temperature. As the water level was about right, Mo Weiyi bent down, just about to turn off the faucet, when she became distinctly aware of the crisp masculine scent. Hed been in the sickroom for a long time, so he always carried a faint hint of disinfectant. She used to dislike the hospital scent. However,tely, she seemed to have grown ustomed to it after inhaling it for so long. Her chin was grasped. In due course, a mans voice echoed in the bathroom, Weiyi, did you eat an orange tonight? How did you know? Mo Weiyi said, feeling an intense heat rise to her face. This naughty Yebai. He was bing quite the conversationalist. Im a bit hungry, Xiao Yebai suddenly said. Didnt the servant send dinner to your hospital? Didnt you eat? Mo Weiyi nced at the time, it was already nine at night. I had some. His voice was already extremely low, But Im hungry again.
    But theres no food at home, Mo Weiyi said, slightly ashamed. Because she couldnt cook. Even though she had enrolled in a home cooking course over the summer break to please him, she had quickly given up after facing harsh reality. In other words, Mo Weiyi, now twenty-years-old and a married woman, could only cook the simplest noodles. Its alright. Xiao Yebai looked at her, hinting at something unsaid, As long as I have you, its enough. All of a sudden, Mo Weiyis cheeks felt hotter, No, you are not well yet. Although they hadnt made love in quite some time, and she did miss it, but they should be more cautious. What if she makes him vomit blood again on New Years eve, wont she really be a wicked femme fatale then? Im fine. No! Mo Weiyi didnt want him to risk it, What if you vomit blood again? Xiao Yebai: He remained silent. Mo Weiyi felt her heart fluttering, Yebai, what what are you really trying to do?
    Hmm. Xiao Yebai lowered his gaze to her shy eyes, Ive been missing you. Mo Weiyi: She was rendered speechless. Really now. He knew she couldnt resist him, yet had the audacity to say he was missing her, was he trying to tease her on purpose? Weiyi, tell me, do you miss Yebai? Hmm? Weiyi? His voice was deep, the tone drawn out, he called her name over and over. Mo Weiyi felt as though she was suffocating,pletely incapable of uttering a single sound. Help! This reserved Yebai, why did he suddenly be so openly flirtatious? The more he was like this, the shyer she became. Their roles seemed to be somewhat reversedpared to before. This forward Yebai, he was simply deadly!
    Chapter 559: 559, take Xiaobai back to the hospital for an IV. Chapter 559: 559, take Xiaobai back to the hospital for an IV. The next morning, Mo Weiyi found it difficult to wake up. Lishui Bay, located in the center of Nancheng City was a strict residential area, where no one set off fireworks or firecrackers overnight. Besides, the bedroom was well-insted, and with the thick curtains, she could sleep deeply. Still, she felt a backache, and her eyelids were dreadfully heavy. Clearly, she was severely sleep-deprived. She squirmed slightly in her down quilt, with her eyes still shut, and reached out her hand. The bedding next to her was cold. Mo Weiyi was startled and suddenly opened her eyes. She found the space beside her empty. Did Xiaobai leave? Looking at the time, it was just past eight in the morning. Did he go back to the hospital so early?
    And he didnt even inform her? Mo Weiyi picked up the cellphone from the bedside table and dialed Xiao Yebais number. Im sorry, the number you dialed has been switched off. Mo Weiyi: She put down the phone. What was this man doing. She moved, feeling an acid tinge. So was the previous night just like a dream? And upon waking, there was no one. This feeling was quite strange. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but overthink. Was she the only one left in the vi now? On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year? Suddenly, she opened her mouth and shouted, Xiaobai,e out! The room was silent. Mo Weiyi wrapped herself tightly in the nket, staring at the ceiling in a daze for a while, until a pattering of footsteps was heard. Then, the bedroom door was opened, and a mans figure appeared in her sight. Mo Weiyi was startled, immediately sitting upright. Xiao Yebai looked at her. His gaze was calm, and in his hand, he held a dish. Steaming hot and aromatic. Xiaobai, you Mo Weiyi said. Her ck and white cat eyes looked innocently round, she seemed baffled.
    Xiao Yebai simply walked over. He looked every bit like a domestic gentleman. In the white porcin te he carried were steaming hot dumplings fresh from the pot. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but swallow. Whats this?
    Pork and pickles dumplings. Of course, I know its dumplings, Im asking where its from. As expected, Xiao Yebai casually replied, Rong An brought it. Rong An? Mo Weiyi blinked her beautiful cat eyes. Where is he? Hes left. Said Xiao Yebai, holding a chopstick in his fair hand, he picked up a plump dumpling and held it to her mouth. Mo Weiyi opened her mouth and bit off half of it. As she ate, she blinked and asked, Why is your phone off? Xiao Yebai responded in a nonchnt tone, I must have forgotten to charge it. Oh, I woke up just now, I thought you were gone. Mo Weiyi said in a somewhat whiny tone. Her voice soft and alluring. I almost thought I was just having a wet dreamst night. Xiao Yebai looked at her. After both of them had taken a showerst night, they had put on pajamas. Mo Weiyi was in a light purple nightdress, coupled with her slightly messy shoulder-length curly hair, her small face, not dabbed with makeup, but still delicate and beautiful, looking pitiful. He picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the remaining half of the dumpling into her mouth. Feeding her one after another, Mo Weiyi eventually reacted, Then what are you going to eat?
    Even though its customary in Nancheng to wake up early on the first day of the lunar new year for a feast of cakes, dumplings, and glutinous rice balls, there were no servants at home now, and the doctor had restricted him to a liquid diet for the time being. Without dy, Mo Weiyi said, Then Ill make congee for youter. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and nced at her. You? Whats with your tone? Mo Weiyi seemed disheartened. Her cat eyes blinking in protest, I should be able to do this. Just add water, then rice, and cook them together, right? Xiao Yebais face remained still as he picked up a dumpling with the chopsticks and handed it over to her, Rong An also brought congee. Ive already had some. Oh. Alright then. She devoured all ten dumplings that he had cooked. Xiao Yebai put down the chopsticks and walked over to the mirror, straightened the cor and cuffs of his shirt, put on his coat, and ced his sses on his nose. Instantly, he transformed from a domestic man to a well-dressed elite. And he looked exceptionally well. Not at all like a sick person.
    Once everything was neatly arranged, Xiao Yebai walked to the edge of the bed, Get up, and take me to the hospital. This early? Mo Weiyi was surprised. The IV drip begins at nine. Didnt you say it wont be a problem? Even so, Mo Weiyi got up immediately. Xiao Yebai subtly curled his lips, Originally, it wouldnt have been. Mo Weiyi got it in an instant. Speechless. It felt like this man came home just for this during Chinese New Year Cough cough cough. ** When they arrived at the hospital and got out of the car, they bumped into someone familiar. Huanhuan, what are you doing here? Shi Huan had just gotten out of her car too, and immediately greeted them upon seeing them, President Xiao, Miss Mo.
    Why are you still calling me Miss Mo? Mo Weiyi pouted. Clothed in a red coat that made her fair and lovelyplexion stand out, her delicate and animated features were breathtakingly beautiful. Shi Huanughed involuntarily, Weiyi. Mo Weiyi was instantly pleased, Are you here to visit someone? Yes. Who? Dont tell me Chu is ill again? No, my grandmother is hospitalized here. Is it serious? Its nothing Before she could finish, a womans voice sounded, Huanhuan, can we go now? Shi Huan quickly said, I must go in now, Weiyi, President Xiao, goodbye. Alright, goodbye. Mo Weiyi watched as Shi Huan walked away. There was a young man and woman standing over there, along with a little girl about four or five years old. The man was refined and handsome, the woman calm and virtuous, and the little girl was refreshingly beautiful with a beaming smile, dressed in a pink cotton jacket. Her big eyes curiously watched them. She was irresistibly adorable. At first nce, they were a beautiful family of three. After Shi Huan left with them, Mo Weiyi suddenly clung to the mans arm and asked in a soft voice, Xiaobai, dont you think that family of three just now looked very pleasing to the eye? Xiao Yebai, I didnt notice. Mo Weiyi was not annoyed, I originally thought of having a son who looks just like you. But after seeing that family of three just now, I suddenly feel that having a daughter is good too. They say daughters resemble their dads. With her arms around his, she yfully swayed to and fro, Also, the exam results should be out in a few days. Does our previous agreement still stand? What agreement? You forgot? Mo Weiyi immediately knitted her brows. She swore, if he had really forgotten, she would give him the silent treatment for another three days! About having a child? The mans voice suddenly sounded. Yes, yes. Mo Weiyi immediately beamed, nodding her head vigorously, Does it still count? Xiao Yebai said in a mild-tone, It counts. Mo Weiyi instantly looked sweet and bright, Thats good, lets go. ** Shi Huan followed that family of three into the elevator and pressed the button for the 11th floor, then stood in the corner. Mom really, why did she have to stay here? Tu Youran grumbled softly, Its too far from home, it takes more than an hour to get here. She looked at Shi Huan, Huanhuan, did you choose this hospital? Shi Huan replied, Grandma chose it herself. Why? Shi Huan exined honestly, She said the service here is good, and itsfortable. But its very expensive, right? Tu Youran immediately asked. Shi Huans voice was calm, but she didnt deny it, Yep, 2000 yuan per day. 2000 yuan a day? Thats so expensive? Shi Huan fell silent. In reality, this price was for the most basic VIP ward here. If it were more expensive, she would not have agreed. Over the years, she believed she had done her duty towards her grandmother. Shed paid what she owed. But she would never agree to wasteful spending, and the old Mrs. Shi could do nothing about her. Ay, Huanhuan, you have indeed had a hard time these years. But dont worry, your uncle and I have decided to settle down here. Shi Huan was surprised, Settle down? Yes, on this trip back, we sold our house and car over there and moved all our assets back home. We have nothing holding us back. Tu Youran affectionately held onto her husbands arm, Besides, Luoluo is already five years old and starting school. Constantly shuttling between countries wouldnt be good for her upbringing. Little Luoluo was holding a lollipop in her hand. When she heard her name, she lifted her little head to look at the adults, even as her mouth worked on the lollipop. Little foodie! Shi Huan couldnt help but smile at the adorable little girl, Alright, grandma should be very happy. Throughout the conversation, Shi Minyan remained silent. Chapter 560: 560, I will never get married in my life. Chapter 560: 560, I will never get married in my life. Throughout it all, Shi Minyan remained silent. He was wearing a dark gray coat, ck trousers, a deep blue sweater, underneath which was a gray shirt, paired with a red tie. The 32-year-old man, aside from a trace of fatigue in his eyes, had not changed much in appearance from who Shi Huan remembered. He was still as handsome, gentle, and reserved as ever. ** When the elevator finally arrived at the 11th floor, Shi Huan pressed the door open button, letting the family of three exit first before following them out. Upon reaching room 1109, Shi Minyan pushed open the door and called out, Mom. The elderly Mrs. Shi on the hospital bed immediately looked up. She was about sixty or seventy years old, with half-white hair, dressed in a patients gown. Initially, she seemed cheerful watching TV, but when she saw her long-absent youngest son, her eyes welled with tears, and she began to cry, Minyan, youre finally back, my Minyan. Shi Minyan stepped forward and was embraced by the elderlydy.
    Whats wrong, Mom? Mrs. Shi looked up, Ive been having a terrible time at home, eating poorly and not dressed well, Minyan, youre finally back, will I be living a better life now? How could that be? Dont we have our sister-inw? Shi Minyan nced at Shi Huan, Didnt Huanhuan hire a housekeeper to take care of you? Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Huan with resentment, Dont talk to me about that ungrateful girl! Shes already moved out, and you know it! She transfers some money every month and never even calls me, shes just an ungrateful animal! Called an animal, Shi Huan felt helpless inside. Tu Youran, who was standing by, hurriedly spoke up, Mom, Huanhuan is busy with work, and she works hard so you can live a good life. Busy? Whats she busy with? The New Year is here, and theres no one to look after me in the hospital everyday. Alright, Mom. Shi Minyan could only continue to advise, Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, be happy. Mrs. Shi pretended to wipe away her tears and suddenly changed the topic, Huanhuan, your uncle is here now, you tell us, for all these years, you havent listened to me or your mother, will you listen to your uncle now? Shi Huan looked up, her eyes met a pair of gentle ones. She quickly averted her gaze, suppressing the sourness in her heart, and looked at the olddy emotionlessly, Grandma, what are you referring to? As expected. Last time, I suggested you meet Zhu Mingpeng, and you t out refused. Im really puzzled. Youre turning 25 soon and remain an old maid, why wont you get married, what do you want? Shi Huan remained silent. Mrs. Shi continued, Zhu Mingpeng is your aunts distant cousin; hes familiar with the Shi family too. If you two get together, its like having family ties strengthen. Although hes a bit older than you and has been divorced once with a daughter, the daughter lives with her mother. Plus, hes a local from Nancheng, his family owns two houses and a car, you wont have to worry about life necessities when you marry him, why are you still so picky? In the end, Mrs. Shi looked at her son, Minyan, you convince your niece. Where can we find such a good man these days? The ward fell silent. After a while, Shi Huan heard the gentle voice of the man, Huanhuan, listen to Grandma, go and meet him. Shi Huan quickly forced a smile, her clear voice speaking slowly, Zhu Mingpeng is 35 years old this year, he has been divorced once, caught by his ex-wife with a prostitute in a hotel, his daughter is already 10 years old, the mortgages on his two houses have not been paid off, and the car he has is second-hand.
    Finally finished speaking, Shi Huan concluded, Grandma, it seems like your information is not very detailed. Mrs. Shi clenched her jaw, fiery hatred in her eyes. Being tantly humiliated in public like this left her unable to hide her anger, she finally raised her hand, and pped Shi Huan. With a loud smack, sharp and crisp.
    Shi Huans face was pped to the side by the force, a clear handprint quickly emerged on her cheek, and even her ck-framed sses were knocked off onto the ground. With a click, the lens shattered on the floor. Shi Huan pressed her tongue against her aching left cheekbone, tasting a faint vor of blood. She didnt utter a word, simply squatting down to pick up her sses. Upon inspection, she discovered that the frames were also somewhat broken and certainly couldnt be worn anymore. Her fingers clenched tightly, and then she walked over and tossed the sses into a trash bin nearby. Little Luoluo was already sobbing, her mouth stuffed with a lollipop, weeping loudly. Tu Youran wasforting their daughter, while Shi Minyan was holding back olddy Shi. Both of them were continuously pleading: Mom, what are you doing? Just talk it over calmly. Today is the Chinese New Years day, how can you physically abuse a child? Didnt the doctor tell you not to get angry?
    Mom, please, cool down. After pleading for a long while, it was finally Shi Minyan who asked, Huanhuan, are you alright? Shi Huan shook her head. Old Lady Shi, her face flushed and neck bulging, was pointing at her, Now you two see it, right? Every time I speak, for every word I say, she always has ten ready for me! She pampers her gloomy face all day as if shes deliberately trying to kill me with anger! Shes at a marrying age; is it wrong for me to suggest marriage to her? Look at her circumstances. If I, as an elder, dont help her, how will she find a man by herself? I asked many of our neighbors for help; every time a man is introduced, shes unwilling to meet! Now shes 25 and still not married; people areughing at our Shi Family. Some are even cursing behind my back, saying that my granddaughter has physical issues Shi Huan looked up at her. Old Lady Shi shuddered fiercely again, You see, every time I speak, this is how she looks at me! Her eyes are way too horrifying! Oh, dear God, what have I done to deserve this? If I had known, I wouldnt have taken her back from the orphanage. All shes ever done is upset me! Shes angered my husband to death, then my son, now my granddaughter is gone, and now she wants to frustrate me to death as well! Old Lady Shi was crying for heaven and earth; her wailing quickly spread outside. There was a knock-knock-knock on the door. A nurse appeared at the door with an unsettled look on her face and reminded, Its Chinese New Years day, could you not cry out loud? Could you please keep it quiet? There are patients next door. Can you heed some manners? Sorry, sorry. Tu Youran rushed to apologize, then closed the door. She was truly fed up with this mother-inw, but no matter how tired she was, she had to give in on the surface, or it would only make things more troublesome. After closing the door, Shi Huan began to speak, Uncle, auntie, since youre here, Ill go back now. I have some things to take care of at home. Youre not allowed to go! Old Lady Shi shouted at her, You live alone, what urgent matters could you possibly have at home? Stay here with me! Ive already asked Xiaozhu toe over. You two will meetter!
    Shi Huan, who had maintained a poker face, finally showed a slight change, Grandma, what do you mean by this? What do I mean? Humph, who told you to hide every day? Now, Xiaozhu and his mother are here. You must meet them! Grandma. Shi Huan clenched her fist, Ive said before, I will never get married in this life. If you dont get married, are we to provide for you? Grandma, ever since the incident five years ago, when you said I was a disgrace to the Shi family, Ive moved out. Ive been living on my own for the past five years. I havent stayed at home for a day or spent a penny of your money! On the contrary, I send you and mom money every month. Half of my sry goes to you, the rest to my sister! Justst night, I cooked a New Years Eve feast for you and mom, prepared the dumplings for today. I was busy until midnight, and I didnt even eat a bite before I left What are you implying with this? Are you saying I abuse you? Did I tell you not to eat? You chose not to eat Alright, Mom, stop talking, take care of your health. Shi Minyan pulled his mother back, frowning. Look at her, through the whole year, sheins even about cooking for me on New Years Eve. Is this the attitude of a granddaughter? Right now, its just us three at home. Your sister-inw takes care of me every day, and its not easy for her. Shes truly filial. But how did she end up giving birth to such an ungrateful child! Im almost seventy now, yet shes still angering me every day Old Lady Shi kept talking until the door was knocked twice. Chapter 561: 561, why don’t you even send me a New Year’s red envelope? Chapter 561: 561, why dont you even send me a New Years red envelope? Madame Shi quickly hid her irritation. As expected, a chubby mother and son appeared at the door after it swung open. Auntie Shi, Ive brought my son with me. Madame Shis face immediately lit up with a broad smile, Oh, Xiaozhu is here. The sudden change in her expression left Tu Youran almost dumbfounded. Zhu Mingpeng had already begun to assess Shi Huan. Originally, he wasnt too thrilled about visiting the hospital to meet an old person and potentially going on a blind date on New Years day. Why would anyone want to visit a hospital on the first day of the New Year? It seemed like bad luck! However, on the way over, he found out that although Shi Huan may not be very beautiful, she was very good at making money. She was able to repay the Shi Familys enormous debt on her own, and also managed the daily expenses. Not only did she own a car and a house, her work capability was also fairly good. On hearing the name of herpany, Huangyou Investments, he couldnt help but be impressed. It was a big deal! Zhu Mingpeng also runs his ownpany, and after a quick search, he found out that thepany is owned by Chu Xiuhuang, the eldest son of the Nanchengs Chu family. Hence, it was likely that the annual dividends were quite good. Having thought it through, he decided to give it a shot as long as Shi Huan was not too unattractive. After all, his own financial situation wasnt exactly great, and having a wife who could help him pay off his debts wouldnt be a bad idea. However, to his surprise, she was actually very beautiful! Standing about 1.65 meters tall, dressed simply C ck down jacket, dark pants, ck leather shoes C she may not have had any particr taste in fashion. But her face was delicate and pleasing with exquisite features. She even had a hint of ssical beauty. She seemed fragile and delicate, the kind of woman who could easily be manipted. It seems Although her cheek seemed to be slightly swollen from an earlier p, that made her eyes look all the more appealing. Her skin was also incredibly fair. It was evident that she didnt wear any makeup, yet her skin was smooth and delicate like a peeled hard-boiled egg. Her skin must be just as tender too. Zhu Mingpeng was stunned. Was this the same woman his mother had described as unattractive? Even Lady Zhu was taken aback. She had seen Shi Huan before, always with a huge pair of ck-rimmed sses. Who would have thought she would look so beautiful without them? It seemed they had found a treasure indeed! Shi Huan felt very uneasy under this relentless scrutiny. Their gaze was like they were selecting pork at a market. How much does it weigh? What is the quality? When was it ughtered? Just as she was struggling with this, her phone rang. Shi Huan immediately said, Im sorry, but I need to step out to take this call. Although Madame Shi looked displeased, she didnt express it in front of their guests. Lady Zhu watched Shi Huan leave, and then asked with a smile, Auntie Shi, is this your granddaughter? Madame Shi nodded, What do you think? Is she eptable? Quite good. Upon hearing these words, Madame Shi couldnt contain her happiness. When Zhu Mingpeng said, Grandma Shi, Ill step out for a bit, she was overjoyed, waving him off with a quick go ahead. As soon as Shi Huan had left, Zhu Mingpeng was already hunting for her. Madame Shi and Lady Zhu shared a knowing smile. It seemed the two young people have potential! * * Shi Huan went to the corridor and answered the call, Mr. Chu? What are you doing, Little Huanhuan? Chu Xiuhuangs voice was as alwaysnonchnt and carefree. Shi Huan asked, Mr. Chu, is there something at thepany? Cant I call you if theres nothing wrong? Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Why did you only send me one New Year greeting message? New Years message? Did she send one? After thinking for a moment, Shi Huan remembered she had sent a mass New Years greeting. Awkward. Little did she know, Master Chu continued to criticize, Why didnt you send me a New Year red envelope? Shi Huan sighed, Mr. Chu, I will send you a red envelopeter. Is there anything else? What do you mean with that impatient tone? Cant I reach out to you if there is no reason? Are you deliberately trying to upset me? Chu Xiuhuangs string of questions left Shi Huan slightly dizzy and she quickly replied, Imbusy. Busy with what? Didnt thepany give a 10-day holiday? Master Chus words were astonishing, I aming to find you. Im not at home. I know. You are at the old Shi Family house, right? Since it was the Spring festival, it was natural for Chu Xiuhuang to think she was there. Who would have thought No, Im at the hospital. Are you ill? No, my grandmother is in the hospital. Shi Huan patiently exined. Which hospital? Mr. Chu, she will be discharged today. In fact, the elder Mrs. Shi could have been discharged yesterday, as there is nothing significantly wrong with her health. Shi Huan didnt understand it until now. It turns out that her grandmother wanted to show off to the Zhu familys mother and son by staying in a luxury ward. However, the Shi family had fallen from grace years ago. After the death of the old master and elder son, the family business dered bankruptcy and their old mansion was sold. The family had to move back to the small vige where they used to live. Their fortunes had significantly declined, and they could no longer live as they did in the past. However, the olddy had not epted reality. She was used to living a privileged life before, and she often tried to maintain face, often doing things like pretending to be better off than they really were, like today. Seeing a figure suddenly appear in front of her, Shi Huan quickly said, Mr. Chu, I have something to do, Ill hang up first. Without waiting for his response, she hung up the phone. Huanhuan. Huanhuan? Shi Huan pulled on the corner of her lips, Mr. Zhu. Zhu Mingpeng enthusiastically took out his phone and shook it, Lets exchange WeChat contacts. Shi Huan furrowed her brow, Mr. Zhu, I have no interest in you in that way. Zhu Mingpeng acted as if he didnt hear her, By the way, I heard from your grandmother that youre now a secretary at Huangyou Investments, right? Shi Huan nodded. Good, I was nning to provide training for the new staff in the secretarial department after the new year. I may need your guidance on the details. Shall we exchange WeChat contacts now? It will make futuremunication easier. He said while taking out his phone. Zhu Mingpeng was all smiles, his attitude friendly and his reasons justified. As the saying goes, one does not p the smiling face. Shi Huan also took out her phone and scanned his WeChat QR code. After finishing this business, Zhu Mingpeng didnt say anything else and just turned around and left. Shi Huan followed him, going to the door. Hearing her grandmothers voiceing from inside the room, she suddenly stopped. A few secondster, she picked up her phone and sent a message before quietly leaving. * * Inside the ward, Shi Minyan suddenly received a WeChat message from Shi Huan. [I have to go due to an urgent matter. Please tell my grandmother for me, thank you.] He smiled and put down his phone. The elder Mrs. Shi was chatting with the Zhu family mother and son. After a while, she couldnt help asking, Where did Huanhuan go? Shes been on the phone for so long. Youran, go out and bring her back for me. Ok. No need to call. Shi Minyan spoke then, Huanhuan said she had an urgent matter and had to leave first. Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. Tu Yourans eyebrows furrowed. Old Mrs. Shi was displeased, This girl, we have guests here, and she left without saying goodbye? She has no manners! Plus, its the holiday season, what urgent matters could she have? After finally arranging this meeting with the matchmaker, and the man was interested in Huanhuan, why did she sneak away? This brat must have done it on purpose! Mrs. Shi. Zhu Mingpeng started, smiling, Dont worry, Ive already exchanged WeChat contacts with Huanhuan. Old Mrs. Shi instantly changed her expression, So, Huanhuan is quite satisfied with you? Shi Minyan nced at Zhu Mingpeng. This man was thirty-five this year, several years older than him, and a full eleven years older than Huanhuan. With a bald head, a beer belly, oily features and a mouth full of uneven yellow teeth, even dressed in decent clothes, he couldnt hide his mercenary air. What did Huanhuan say? Mrs. Zhu asked eagerly. Zhu Mingpengughed, Dont worry, I will have a good chat with Huanhuan when I get back. Hearing this, Mrs. Shi became even happier, Actually, our Huanhuan is not bad-looking, she just doesnt like dressing up. Because shes used to saving money and living frugally, she doesnt fuss over herself much. Shes very filial, a good girl. Zhu Mingpeng listened and kept nodding. Both Shi Minyan and Tu Youran were stunned: * * Shi Huan left the hospital in her car, but she didnt know where to go. Thats why she doesnt like holidays. Every holiday, she felt idle and aimless, like her heart was nothing more than a floating feather, unable to find its ground. Shed rather be busy all day every day, too busy to have time to have random thoughts, then she can feel secure in her heart. Chapter 562: 562, little princess who is unfamiliar with worldly affairs Chapter 562: 562, little princess who is unfamiliar with worldly affairs Suddenly, her phone rang again. Shi Huan picked it up to see that it was a WeChat message from Zhu Mingpeng. [Huanhuan, how many days off do you have for Spring Festival?] Shi Huan put her phone back, but he quickly sent another message. [Did you watch the New Years movie that Feng Xiaogang just released?] Shi Huan didnt reply. He should understand her meaning if he is clever. ** Hospital ward. After Zhu Mingpeng and his mother left with satisfaction, Grandma Shi looked grim, Help me up. Mom, whats wrong? I want to be discharged. Shi Minyan furrowed his brows, Are you fully recovered? What did the doctor say? I know my own body, I want to go home. Grandma Shi instructed her daughter-inw, Youran, go get me discharged. Tu Youran nced at her husband, and seeing his nod, she said, Okay, Luoluo, lets go with mom. Little Luoluo, with tears in her eyes, was led by her mother out of the ward. Once they were in the elevator, the little girl finally spoke softly, Mom, wheres Huanhuan? Huanhuan has gone home. Gone home? Little Luoluo furrowed her brow, Mom, can I use the phone? Children cant use phones. Tu Youran spoke sternly. But but all my friends have phones. Little Luoluoined in a whiny voice. Ever since her parents returned a few days ago and she was taken back to the Shi Family, her little phone had been confiscated. She had no way of contacting Huanhuan or Fu Ziyang. Huanhuan also didnt let her use the phone before, but she could still y with it for an hour or two each day. Tu Youran was still very strict, No, youre only five years old, using a phone will hurt your eyes. And now that both mom and dad are back, what do you need a phone for? Little Luoluo lifted her head and gently pursed her lips before mustering the courage to say, I want to call Huanhuan, she must have been in pain earlier. Upon hearing the childs innocent words, a hint of gentleness shed in Tu Yourans eyes. Then she asked, Luoluo, have you grown very fond of Huanhuan, living with her every day? Yep. Little Luoluo nodded immediately, Huanhuan is very nice to me. She makes me delicious food every day, takes me to school, picks me up from school, even enrolled me in a training course, bought me many beautiful clothes, and even a little violin. A little violin? Tu Youran frowned. Yep, a beautiful little violin, but I forgot to bring it back. Little Luoluo answered honestly. Tu Youran unconsciously gripped her fingers harder, her voice getting more stern, Luoluo, didnt mom tell you that children shouldnt ask adults for things? Did you not keep my words in mind? Do you know how expensive the violin is? I didnt ask for it, Huanhuan bought it for me voluntarily. As Luoluo spoke, her voice took on a sobbing tone, her eyes red, Mom, my hand hurts Tu Youran quickly released her hand, she squatted down, looking at the childs now red fingers, and blew on them gently, Im sorry, Luoluo, mom didnt do it on purpose, does it still hurt? Sniffing, Little Luoluo shook her head, looking incredibly aggrieved. The elevator doors opened just then. Tu Youran quickly stood up, only to realize she had been so engrossed in the conversation that she forgot to press the floor button. The elevator had travelled from the 11th floor directly to the 20th. A bright and beautiful young girl came in from outside. Tu Youran pressed the 1st floor button, and on her side, Little Luoluo suddenly greeted her cheerfully, Hello, beautiful sister. Mo Weiyi squatted down, a smile in her eyes as she looked at the pretty little girl in front of her, Wow, you actually remember me? Tu Youran was surprised, looking more closely, she realized this was the friend of Shi Huans they had bumped into in the parking lot earlier. She hurriedly greeted, Hello. Hello. Mo Weiyi nced at her, then lowered her gaze back to Little Luoluo, Little friend, whats your name? With her clear, big eyes, Little Luoluo gently introduced herself, My name is Shi Luoluo. Shi Luoluo? So whats Huanhuan to you? Mo Weiyi asked again. Huanhuans my sister. And how old are you this year? Im five years old this year. Ah, so youre only five. The adult and the child were passionately engaged in conversation. Even though Mo Weiyi was an adult, her speaking voice was just as soft as Little Luoluos, and her tone had a bit of a coquettish feel. Tu Youran stood on the side, remaining silent, just quietly observing Mo Weiyi. Her meticulous and appropriate makeup, soft and wavy medium-length hair, revealing a subtly sultry and gentle air. Her eyes were filled with conceit and innocence. And her clothes were simply yet fittingly put together. A dazzling diamond ring adorned her left hand, a string of jade bracelets on her wrist, brilliantly green against her white skin. In short, at first nce, she was a well-bred girl who lived infort and privilege. Her pure, clean smile reminding one of an innocent little princess. Thinking about the man just now by Mo Weiyis side, his temperament, his figure, his looks; all were sights rarely seen. Shi Huan actually knew people of such high status? No wonder she looked down upon Zhu Mingpeng earlier and slipped away early. The elevator reached the 18th floor. Mo Weiyi stood up to leave, Luoluo, Im leaving. Next time, let Huanhuan take you to y with me. Goodbye, sister. Little Luoluo waved her little hand. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 563: 563, Tian Ye likes you Chapter 563: 563, Tian Ye likes you Goodbye, big sis. Little Luoluo waves her small hand. Despite the unshed tears still welling in her eyes, she puckers her mouth and smiles like a blooming sunflower. Its somewhat absurd. But also incredibly cute. Mo Weiyi cant help butugh again. As the elevator door closes, she turns and heads to the coffee shop, pulling out her phone to call Shi Huan on the way. The call gets through quickly. Huanhuan, what are you doing? Shi Huan on the other end is taken aback. If it werent for hearing Mo Weiyis voice, hed suspect this was something Chu Xiuhuang would say. Why do these two talk with the same tone? Such a pair made in heaven, yet they cant be together, what a pity. Huanhuan? Mo Weiyi furrows her delicate eyebrows, Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Im here. Shi Huan hastily responds, Whats wrong? Where are you? I just saw your little sister in the elevator, she was crying so pitifully. What did you say, is Luoluo still crying? What happened? Its nothing, she probably just got frightened. Shi Huan makes light of it. He assumes the poor girl might have been scared by seeing Lady Shi p her in the hospital room. One half-sugartte, thank you. After giving her order to the waiter, Mo Weiyi continues speaking on the phone, Thats good then. Thedy with her, must be her mother, right? And the young-looking man is your uncle? He looks very young. Yes. Why do I feel like Little Luoluo looks more like you and not so much like her mother? The womans face seems to be a bit square-like, whereas Luoluo has an oval face, quite like Shi Huans. Shi Huan chuckles but doesnt put much thought into it. The two continue to chat aimlessly for a few minutes, Mo Weiyi doing most of the talking while Shi Huan doesnt say much. When her coffee is ready, Mo Weiyi hangs up the phone and carries her coffee upstairs. * * In the VIP ward on the 20th floor at this moment. Tian Ye likes you, I refuse to believe you havent noticed. Ye Bei stands in front of the patients bed, speaking with a tone of certainty. Xiao Yebai sits there, exuding aloof indifference that seems to seep from his bones. He doesnt react to Ye Beis words. Ye Bei has long be ustomed to this attitude of his, moreover knowing the severity of his stomach bleeding. Eating only liquid meals and with a poor digestion, although hisplexion looks good, he must be terribly weak, hence his silence is understandable. So he continues, Yebai, you are really good at toying with womens feelings, huh? Neither rejecting nor acknowledging, nor taking a stance, yet you manage to have Tian Ye willingly revolving around you daily. I am asking you, seeing Tian Ye like this, dont you feel a sense of aplishment? Does it feel good? Actually, I figured it out long ago. Back when Tian Ye and I were dating, she never told me about her family situation. At first, I assumed it was just her personality, butter, I understood that she never considered me as an intimate partner. On the contrary, you, knew about this! You even apanied Tian Ye to meet her mother! The matter with her house, you helped to resolve it, right? Also, her mothers surgery was aplished with your help, wasnt it? Hmm,ing here personally with an assistant to arrange her surgery, assigning a vice dean to perform the procedure, especially instructing to take good care of her. Even now that she has been discharged, theres a doctor specifically assigned to visit her. Yebai, if you really love Tian Ye, I wouldnt care, since Tian Ye and I are already separated. Whoever she chooses is her freedom. Having said all that, he looks at the man on the bed, Tell me, in one sentence, do you like Tian Ye or not? Xiao Yebai doesnt even look at him directly, only finally speaking up, You can leave now. Huh. Ye Bei cant help butugh, Why are you always like this? Do you just not like talking? Im really curious, was our little princess attracted to you because of this attitude? They say women are truly pathetic, especially those like the little princess, who have everything from birth. Conquest is what they love most, especially of things they cant and dont have. So, you being like this, its no wonder she likes you. You maintain a cold face all day, making her think that you dont like her, thereby making her continuously pursue you, trying to please you in every way. In the bedroom, does she like to take the initiative ah! Before Ye Bei has finished speaking, a gusty p abruptly strikes his face. He didnt even see iting and only feels a sudden sharp pain at the corner of his mouth. Immediately afterward, thanks to gravity, he quickly slumps sideways, until he finally falls onto the sofa. With half of his body on the sofa and the other half still on the ground. An extreme picture of humiliation. As the shock subsides, extreme rage and embarrassment fill Ye Beis face. He swiftly gets up from the ground, ring at the man who seemed cold just a moment ago but is now the perpetrator of the assault, Damn, how dare you hit me? Xiao Yebais thin lips form a straight line, his sight falls on Ye Beis infuriated face. His handsome features, calmposure remains unfaltering, even his voice remains unchanged. Get out. He says. Direct and decisive. Calm but cold. Oozing with undisguised contempt and disdain. That feeling, it actually makes Ye Bei appear like an absurdly overactive clown. Ye Bei can only feel anger and humiliation, Xiao Yebai, did I hit a nerve? Are you getting angry because I said something true? Chapter 564: 564, such beautiful hands, how great it would be if you played the piano for me Chapter 564: 564, such beautiful hands, how great it would be if you yed the piano for me Ye Bei felt both anger and humiliation, Xiao Yebai, are you angry and embarrassed because I hit the nail on the head? Heughed loudly, I wondered, when we were in school, why did you always have such a miserable face on, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if you were filled with sorrow, living a life of bitterness and hatred. When I returned to the country, I found out that you were nothing more than an adopted son of the Mo Family, you were just lucky to be adopted by them, and that little princess of the Mo Family took a liking to you. If not for that, who do you think you are? A poor boy from Tong Vige, if not for your luck, you would probably spend your entire life picking up trash in the countryside There was suddenly the faint sound of high heelsing from outside. Ye Bei stopped quickly, his lips pressed together, turned around and opened the door. As expected, Mo Weiyi was justing down the hallway outside. Wearing a pair of knee-high boots, the sound of her high heels ttering pleasantly. Her hair swaying freely on her shoulders as she walked. When she saw Ye Bei, especially the blood at the corner of his mouth up close, the surprise was evident on Mo Weiyis face. Ye Bei said nothing, merely nodded slightly to greet her, then left directly. In stark contrast to his previous enthusiasm and attentiveness. Mo Weiyi was taken aback. What happened to him? When she entered the ward, she carefully looked around. Aside from a bouquet of lilies ced on a table, which was likely brought by Ye Bei. There was no other ce,pared to when she left, nothing seemed different, and there was no sign of a fight. The man on the bed still sat there coldly and indifferently, as if nothing happened. But she clearly saw the blood on the corner of Ye Beis mouth. There were only two of them in the room, surely Ye Bei didnt hurt himself? Moreover, it was evident that the punch was quite heavy. A grown man was hit until he bled, no doubt a lot of force was used. Xiaobai, did you have a conflict with Ye Bei just now? she asked cautiously. Xiao Yebais handsome face didnt show any emotion, Not exactly. Not exactly? So that was it. Mo Weiyi immediately asked, Why did you hit him? Did he say something to make you unhappy? Or did he annoy you in some way? Xiao Yebai was not the kind of man who would resort to violence at the slightest provocation. For all this time, although he knew he was physically capable, it seems he only ever used violence during that one time when she was in trouble. On normal days, he gave the impression of a genteel business elite, wearing in sses, dressed in a sharp shirt and trousers, refined, calm, and no one would suppose him to have such a violent and brutal side. Xiao Yebai raised his eyes to look at her, due to the absence of sses, his eyes held evident emotion. Then, he slowly uttered a hum of affirmation. Mo Weiyi said, Then you should avoid seeing him in the future. Among your ssmates, I dont like Tian Ye or Ye Bei, only Zhan Yao seems fine. Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Xiao Yebais calm expression, Zhan Yao? Yeah, Zhan Yao is handsome, witty, knowledgeable, and I quite enjoy chatting with him. Most importantly, he helped Xiao Yebai persuade herst time. He must truly consider him a good friend to speak highly of him like that. However, Mo Weiyi didnt mention this. She walked over and held up Xiao Yebais right hand, which did not have an IV inserted. However, Xiao Yebai asked, Is Zhan Yao handsome? Mo Weiyi sat down in the chair and while checking his hand, she nonchntly answered, Zhan Yao is pretty good-looking, but I wonder why he doesnt have a girlfriend? Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, Probably because his EQ and IQ are too low. Ah? Mo Weiyis finger movement paused. Zhan Yaos EQ and IQ are too low? But isnt he a police officer? What are you looking at? Xiao Yebais voice suddenly rang out again. Mo Weiyi returned to her senses, Oh, you just hit him, so I wanted to see if your hand was injured. No. Xiao Yebais thin lips curled into a mocking smile, Its just dirty. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but chuckle, her voice soft and obedient, Then let me help you clean it. She stood up, fetched a box of wet tissues from the side table, sat back down by the hospital bed, took his hand, and began to wipe it gently with the tissue. She was wiping meticulously, starting from the thumb, cleaning from top to bottom, and then she began to wipe the second finger. She finished cleaning instrumentally, one finger at a time till all five were done, then she wiped the back of the hand and then the palm. She was careful and tender, handling it as though it was a precious and fragile item. When she was done, she spoke with a smile, From now on, dont be reckless. What if you hurt yourself? These beautiful hands of yours should be ying the piano for me. Didnt you dislike the piano the most? The mans voice remained cool and indifferent as always. Yes, I do dislike it, but if its you, Xiaobai, who was ying it for me, I might be able to listen to it reluctantly. Mo Weiyi raised her head, blinking her clear and distinct cat eyes. There was a certain expectation in her eyes. Xiao Yebai simply replied perfunctorily, seemingly not understanding her hint. A sigh welled up in Mo Weiyis heart. But Nevermind. Take it slowly. You cant expect a man who has been indifferent for ten years to suddenly be warm and affectionate just because of a cold war that hasntsted a month, right? To do things like ying the piano? She could wait. Personally, knowing that he has her in his heart, she really could wait. ** X Districts courtyard, the Huo family residence. Su Wanwan was awoken by the sound of firecrackers this morning. Most of the people living in the courtyard are retired old cadre. It was New Years, so many had returned with their children. People had been setting off fireworks and firecrackers all night. ording to the custom in Nancheng, people got up early on the first day of Lunar New Year; thus, many were setting off firecrackers punctually at six or seven oclock. So when the booming sound of firecrackers exploded right beyond the window, Su Wanwan was startled, making her shiver. Although Huo Jingshen quickly covered her ears, Su Wanwan started to be restless in the bed and squirmed here and there. She finally quieted after about half an hour and fell asleep again. But the peace was short-lived. Thud thud thud! The door to their room was suddenly knocked again, so Su Wanwan started being restless again, squirming restlessly, using both her hands and feet. After being kicked several times, Huo Jingshen had a gloomy face and yelled, Grandma, dont knock anymore, Wanwan is sleeping. It was quiet outside the room for a moment, and then the voice of old Master Huo roared, You guys kept us uptest night, and you still wont get up early in the morning! Its disgraceful! Huo Jingshen: Was Everythingst night heard? He looked down at Su Wanwans sleeping face and felt relieved luckily, he had covered her ears; she hadnt heard his grandfathers yell. Otherwise, she wouldve definitely exploded at him. ** When old Master Huo returned downstairs, he was scolded by old Mrs. Huo. Are you blind? The young couple finally stayed at home for a night, sleeping on a new bed, they might have been a little excited cant you empathize? Also, you ran upstairs to knock on their door! Do you even have a flicker of EQ as an elder? With a stern face, old Master Huo replied, Nuanyang got up before six to exercise, and this older brother is stillzing in bed with his wife past seven. Thats because Nuanyang is a loner! Wait until hes married, hell probably be more restless than his brother, just like you used to be! Old Master Huos face turned beet red: You This woman, always saying inappropriate things, blurting out whateveres to her mind! Shes utterly shameless! Good morning, Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, Happy New Year. Fu Qi entered the dining room, followed by Fu Ziyang. The little boy was wearing a new outfit old Mrs. Huo had prepared in advance: a red jacket and camouge denim pants, looking smart and handsome. Good morning, great-grandpa, great-grandma, Happy New Year. Good morning! Hurry up and get ready to eat yuanbao (gold ingots/dumplings). Old Mrs. Huoughed till her eyes were almost closed. When the servants brought up the dumplings and glutinous rice balls, even Huo Nuanyang came in for breakfast. Fu Qi couldnt help asking, Grandma Huo, arent we waiting for Brother Jingshen and sister-inw to eat together? Old Mrs. Huo beganughing even harder at his words, No, no, let them sleep in. They must have been very passionatest night. Maybe, Wanwan already has my great-grandson in her belly hahaha! Old Master Huo: That woman, how can she say such words in front of the children? Chapter 565: 565, wearing the same clothes as a child Chapter 565: 565, wearing the same clothes as a child As for Fu Qi, his little face instantly became pale and then flushed. He was deeply affected. Is Brother Jingshen going to have a baby with Su Wanwan? He couldnt even bear to think about that scene. Yet the sounds he heard in the corridorst night, they were definitely doing it again. Fu Qi lowered his head, suddenly losing his appetite for anything, even the Golden Yuanbao and Round Yuanbao candies. ** Su Wanwan didnt really wake up until after nine in the morning. When she saw the time, she gave a mournful cry and burrowed back into the quilt. When Huo Jingshen came over to pull back the quilt, she red at him fiercely, Why didnt you wake me up! It was the first day of the New Year, and she was at the Huo Familys residence yet she had slept in until after nine.
    She remembered when she was a kid, she was always woken up at seven in the morning on the first day of the New Year. Oh my God. All because she was too excitedst night receiving money, suddenly wanted to drink, was too greedy, and then after drinking Indulging in alcohol, plus indulging inallowed her to sleep in till after nine on the first day of the New Year. Su Wanwan covered her little face with her hand, feeling like she couldnt face anyone downstairs. Huo Jingshen rubbed her little head, Whats there to be embarrassed about? Its not the first time this has happened. Grandpa and Grandma have been there, they understand. Otherwise, why do you think they changed our bed to a new one? Youre still talking! It was all your faultst night! Be honest, after I got drunk, you Huo Jingshen gave a wicked grin. Ahhhhhhh! This shameless scoundrel of a man! No wonder she slept in until after nine. She swore she would never drink again! Ahhhhhhh Stop screaming! Her mouth was suddenly covered and Huo Jingshen, staring at the tousled girl, asked in a gentle voice, Are you hungry? With her mouth covered, Su Wanwan could only nod her little head as fast as if she was pounding garlic. Hungry. She was almost starving to death. But she was too embarrassed to go downstairs to eat.
    Wait here, Huo JingShenmanded. Once he let go and got up heading towards the door, Su Wanwan hurriedly asked, What are you going to do? Huo Jingshen answered seriously, Im going to steal some dumplings for you. Steal dumplings?
    Su Wanwan instantly thought aboutst nights stolen wine. Oh dear! Forget it. Su Wanwan got up, No need, Ill go downstairs to eat. Its not her first time oversleeping at the Huos house. Pretending it didnt happen was just self-deception. Forget it, just forget it. Huo Jingshen nodded approvingly, Good girl. Su Wanwan: ** After freshening up, Su Wanwan also changed into a set of new clothes before finally going downstairs. She had no choice, since Huo Jingshen had bought them yesterday as per the olddys instructions. She said that you should wear new clothes on the first day of the New Year, symbolizing the farewell to the old and the weing of the new. But when she reached downstairs, it hit her like a ton of bricks. My god.
    She was wearing the same outfit as Fu Ziyang! The little guy was wearing a red, English-style zer, while hers was a casual red wraparound. It was incredibly awkward. Grandma Huo, on the other hand, was quite pleased, Su Wanwan, you have fair skin, so you look good in red. Come on, eat your Yuanbao, then take the kids outside for a walk and do some shopping. Kids? Kids! Su Wanwan was speechless. Was she now considered one of the kids? As for going shopping, Su Wanwan didnt want to go after breakfast. She didnt really like shopping, and she only apanied Mo Weiyi because she loved it. Plus, there would certainly be a lot of people out on the first day of the New Year. It would be more rxing to stay at home and y games or cards. Then Fu Qi, who had quickly wrapped up his breakfast and donned his jacket, beningly said, Brother Jingshen, lets go. Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide, What are you up to? Fu Qi pursed his little mouth and said somewhat timidly, Grandma Huo said Brother Jingshen should take us for a walk in the city.
    That moment, Fu Ziyang also came down, properly dressed. Su Wanwan wriggling her fingers, conceded, Wait for me! Iming too! After saying that, she rushed upstairs. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Huo Jingshen was grabbing his car keys. Su Wanwan gave a huff, picked up her bag and jacket, and muttered, Stinky man! Huo Jingshen had a puzzled look on his face: What happened? Isnt she happy about going shopping? Su Wanwan ignored him. But when they reached the lobby, she instantlytched onto his arm. Honey, is it just us four going shopping? she asked. Huo Jingshen: Why is this girl so fickle? Fu Qi observed her curiously. Didnt you just say you didnt want to go shopping? Who said that? Shopping is fun, the more the merrier. After finishing her statement, Su Wanwan pointed at the figure who had just entered the room, Second brother,e with us.
    Huo Nuanyang: Could he opt out? However, it wasnt an option. Granny Huos eyes lit up upon hearing that and she immediately eximed, Great, Nuanyang, you should also go shopping with your brother and sister-inw. Its not often that you are at home. Your grandfather and I will stay behind as we have friendsing over for tea. Fu Qi hurriedly voiced out, Grandma Huo, then I wont go either. How could you not? Ive heard from little Wu that ever since you came to Nancheng, youve been staying in the vi. You hardly go out to explore. Nancheng has a lot to offer, and the shops will definitely be open today. Its going to be really convenient to buy anything. Finishing her sentence, she immediatelymanded, Nuanyang, hurry up, let Miss Fu sit in your car. Fu Qi felt helpless, she wanted to ride in Brother Jingshens car! But Huo Nuanyang had already agreed, saying OK, he stood up and picked up his car keys, Lets go. Feeling desperate, Fu Qi had no choice but to follow him reluctantly. However, when they arrived at the garage, she saw Fu Ziyang and Su Wanwan climbing into the ck Husang car from a distance. Just as she was about to catch up to them, the Husang had already reversed out of the garage and drove away. The car left so quickly that Fu Qi barely had time to yell, Brother Jingshen. And just like that, the ck Husang car drove off like an arrow shot from a bow. Fu Qi was so frustrated she almost stomped her feet. Why was she so slow? Miss Fu. Granny Huo said with a satisfied smile, Youll ride in Nuanyangs car. Actually, Fu Qi was quite beautiful. If Nuanyang really did like her, matchmaking could work in their favour- she could possibly be my second granddaughter-inw. After all, Ashen is already married to Wanwan, forcing things would not yield a good oue. Fu Qi wasnt aware of Granny Huos thoughts, faced with the olddys smiling face, she had no choice but to nod and follow Huo Nuanyang to the garage. But she didnt expect Huo Nuanyang to be driving a high-seated camouge Mercedes SUV. The car seat was too high and she, in a bid to look beautiful, was wearing a slightly fishtail long skirt that day. Although she looked elegant, she couldnt step high enough to climb into the car. It was quite embarrassing. At that moment, Huo Nuanyang walked over, looked at Fu Qi and said, Get in. Fu Qis face turned bright red. She wanted to get in, but She wasnt able to climb in! Huo Nuanyang nced at her skirt and quickly realized her predicament. Go change into some pants. His voice was as always- cold, brisk, bluntCjust like he was reprimanding those new recruits. Fu Qi naturally understood what he meant and her face turned even redder. With no other choice, she turned around and ran back inside. Granny Huo, who had just gone back to her room, was surprised. Miss Fu, what happened? Fu Qi replied, Im changing into something morefortable to wear. Oh. Fu Qi quickly changed into a pair of jeans and headed back out. When she arrived, Huo Nuanyang was still standing by his car, only now he was smoking a cigarette. He looked so carefree holding the cigarette between his long fingers, as he squinted his eyes and saw her approaching. He exhaled a cloud of smoke through his thin lips. His demeanor was a bit wild, eyes were cold, but there was an undeniable intensity that made it hard to look away, as though everything in her heart could be seen through, leaving her no ce to hide. Fu Qi felt jittery under his gaze. It really sucked to feel as though someone had pulled your strings! She walked over, opened the cars back door, and clumsily climbed in. The car seat was high, and Fu Qi had never ridden in such a vehicle before. Sitting in the seat felt odd. From outside the window, Huo Nuanyang took a hard drag from his cigarette, dropped it to the ground and crushed it with his foot. Women were indeed troublesome. The time she spent changing her pants was long enough for him to finish his cigarette. Fu Qi obediently sat in the back seat. After Huo Nuanyang got in the car and started to pull out of the courtyard, she said, Hey, you must not tell Su Wanwan about what I said yesterday, did you hear me? The man was driving as if he didnt hear her, not responding at all. Didnt you hear me talking? Fu Qi frowned, Hey, hey? Finally unable to bear it, she leaned forward and timidly poked at the mans shoulder. The man she poked finally spoke up, I have a name. Name? Fu Qi blinked her eyes. Huo Nuanyang? Isnt that a total misnomer? Chapter 566: 566, did you upset your girlfriend? Chapter 566: 566, did you upset your girlfriend? Where exactly is it warm? Where is the sunlight? This Huo Nuanyang is clearly a big block of ice! She puckered her lips, Huo Nuanyang, dont you dare tell Su Wanwan what I told you yesterday. Huo Nuanyang remained silent again. Fu Qi was so frustrated she could hardly stand it, but all she could do was continue, If you dare to bber, I wont let you off lightly! Huh. Huo Nuanyang finally let out a sound. Yet, was it Laughter? Fu Qi couldnt quite believe it and quickly looked at him.
    The mans profile looked rigid and expressionless. As if thatughter hadnte from him just now. Could she have heard wrong? She clenched her tiny fists, Huo Nuanyang, you Silence, Huo Nuanyang suddenly interjected. Fu Qi was taken aback. Immediately after, Huo Nuanyang tuned in the frequency to a music station. Soon, the rock music of The Beatles began to y. Fu Qi: Asking her to be quiet while ying rock music, what was the logic? ** Compared to the awkward atmosphere here, the car next door was evidently much more harmonious. After Huo Jingshen put on the music, Su Wanwan sang along all the way, until Fu Ziyangs voice sounded, Aunt Wanwan, could you do me a favor? Whats up, Ziyang? Fu Ziyang twisted his cute little face, I cant reach Little Luoluo. Huh? Shes not picking up my calls, nor answering my voice messages. Then, you should try sending her a red envelope. Su Wanwan offered a cheeky suggestion. Huo Jingshen gave her a sideways re.
    Fu Ziyang seriously replied, I did, she epted it. Su Wanwan couldnt help but chuckle, Ziyang, did you upset your little girlfriend? No. On this point, Fu Ziyang could guarantee.
    Hence, Su Wanwan took out her cellphone, Dont worry, Ill ask Huanhuan. Okay. Fu Ziyang finally looked a bit happier. Su Wanwan dialed Shi Huans phone. It was promptly picked up. Huanhuan, whatre you doing? Shi Huan replied, Im cleaning. What?! Youre cleaning? Su Wanwan sounded shocked. Whats wrong? Isnt today a day when its not allowed to clean? In Nancheng, there was an old tradition where people did not clean their homes on New Years Day as it was believed to sweep out prosperity and bring financial loss for theing year. It was also said that whatever one did on this day, one would repeat it repeatedly in theing year. Therefore, no one should be scolded on New Years Day and everyone should only say nice things. In any case, there were many such old customs. Su Wanwan only remembered getting scolded badly when she swore on New Years Day as a child. Shi Huanughed, Its okay, I dont believe in these superstitions.
    Alright then. Su Wanwan quickly asked, Is Luoluo with you? No. Then, where is she? Ziyang said he wanted to send a red (money) envelope to her, but cant find her. Su Wanwan offered a very legitimate excuse. Oh, her phone might have been confiscated. I couldnt get in touch with her as well. Auntie doesnt like kids using phones. Okay, then. Happy New Year, Huanhuan. Happy New Year. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan said, Ziyang, Little Luoluo is fine. Her mom just doesnt allow her to use her phone. Alright then. Fu Ziyang thought, Luoluos mom doesnt allow her to use her phone but she could receive money from him. Little Luoluos mom is somewhat hard to fathom. ** Soon, the two cars arrived at the mall one after the other. Nowadays during New Years Day, all the shops in Nancheng are open for business. Various entertainment venues, snack bars and such were bustling with people.
    Having finished the call, everyone from the two cars gathered and took the elevator directly to the boutique upstairs. In ordance to the olddys instructions, they went straight to the womens clothing department. Fu Qi didnt want to buy clothes. She mainly didnt feel like shopping for clothes. However, within the hour, she saw Su Wanwan tirelessly trying on piece after piece. The more Su Wanwan tried on clothes, the more irritable Fu Qi became. Why was she trying on so many clothes? It was as if she had never worn new clothes before. Bumpkin! Honey, do you think this looks good? Su Wanwan came out in a blue trench coat and twirled in front of the mirror. Its good-looking. Huo Jingshen didnt hesitate in hispliment. His darling looked good in anything, and looked the best without wearing anything at all! Su Wanwan nced at Fu Qi. Miss Fu, arent you going to try any clothes on? I wont be trying anymore. Fu Qi replied coldly. Su Wanwanughed. Oh, right. After all, these are all new spring collections. Miss Fu might not be nning to stay in Nancheng that long. Fu Qi:
    This was infuriating! Why did Su Wanwan always manage to make her angry in just a few words?! Moreover, Su Wanwan was wearing a ck base shirt with a V-neck line under her coat, revealing her neck and corbones. She had identally revealed a bright red mark while changing. Seeing this, Fu Qi thought about the strange sounds she had heardst night. She felt a sting in her eyes and her face even turned red. She spun around abruptly. No more! Su Wanwan was utterly baffled. What was Fu Qi again up to? Why was her face so red? What was she thinking? Turning, she checked herself in the mirror and noticed the mark on her corbone Ahem. Su Wanwan quickly pulled up her cloth, before looking at Fu Qi again. This girl was way too shy, wasnt she? Just seeing this made her face turn that red? What she didnt know was that Fu Qi heard every sound she madest night very clearly ** After that, Su Wanwan continued to try on many more outfits. In reality, she was quite tired herself. If not for provoking Fu Qi and making her face reality, Su Wanwan wouldnt be exhausting herself like this, you know? Chapter 567: 567, Showing off love on the first day of the New Year Chapter 567: 567, Showing off love on the first day of the New Year She didnt even want to go for a walk on the streets anymore. In the end, Huo Jingshen had all the clothes that Su Wanwan tried on set aside, signed smoothly, swiped the card, provided the address, and asked for them to be delivered to the Imperial Court Viter. Su Wanwan suggested, Lets go to the mens section downstairs. Theyd been shopping for quite a while, and the two men have been following her, only responsible for paying and carrying items. She kind of felt guilty. Besides, buying mens clothing was also an opportunity to show off. Right. Su Wanwan decidedly wanted to unt it in front of Fu Qi! Show it off to Fu Qi! Huo Jingshen narrowed his dark eyes, Baby, are you going to buy clothes for hubby? Does hubby want me to buy clothes for him then? Su Wanwan put on a cutesy voice purposefully, I received a lot of red envelopes yesterday. If you dont want them, there might not be a chance next time.
    Huo Jingshen agreed readily, It would be an honor. So they headed to the mens section downstairs. Fu Qi was nearly nauseous from all the couple-unting, especially when they arrived at the mens designer store and saw Su Wanwan repeatedly calling hubby, picking up sweaters, ties, scarves and bringing them close to the man. She took a deep breath, finally reaching her limit, Ill wait outside for you all. Su Wanwan looked at her, and suddenly said, Second Brother has been shopping with Miss Fu for so long, arent you going to buy her something as a token of thanks? Huo Nuanyang frowned, No need, sister-inw. However Fu Qi said, If we must, we must! Huo Nuanyang: Fu Qi walked in and was going to help pick out the clothes, but suddenly withdrew her hand. Why should she help him choose? By the time Huo Nuanyang came over, Fu Qi spoke impatiently, Whatever you want, you choose it. Huo Nuanyang, No need to buy. No. Fu Qi insisted on buying him something as she had already said she would. I usually wear my uniform. Huo Nuanyang exined like he was rifying. Meaning, he didnt have much asion to wear these types of clothes. Fu Qi didnt want to stand there and debate with him over what clothes to buy, so she simply said, Just pick something you can wear. Consider it my fee for keeping your lips sealed, youre not permitted to speak recklessly in the future! Huo Nuanyang was about to say something when a salesperson came over, Miss, are you buying clothes for your boyfriend? Fu Qis face turned red, He is not my boyfriend. The salesperson was surprised.
    From afar, she saw the two of them standing together, the man being over one meter eighty tall, the girl being young and pretty, her face blushing they looked exactly like lovebirds, could she possibly have guessed wrong? She quickly adjusted, Oh, are you buying clothes for your brother then? Your brother is so tall, would you like to check out our newlyunched Spring collection? This piece is quite good, can be worn on casual asions, your brother is so handsome, he would surely suit it. Handsome? Fu Qi nced at Huo Nuanyang.
    Handsome where? Hes so fierce! Brother Jingshen is much more good-looking! Or how about this sweater? The salesperson started rmending another item, This sweateres in ck, blue, and brown, it would suit your brothers taste. After she rmended a few items consecutively, Huo Nuanyang still didnt express any opinion. Fu Qi, feeling impatient, looked at him, Could you please pick one? Huo Nuanyang firmly replied, I told you, no need to buy. Salesperson: But Fu Qi was determined to buy him something, Just choose whatever you like. As long as this seals your mouth, doesnt matter what, if you dont like this store we can look at others until you choose something. Huo Nuanyang: The salesperson quickly took the opportunity to interfere, Why dont you have a look around, sir? The clothes here are all rather nice. Whatever catches your eye, or if you dont want a jacket, you can take a look at the trousers, or She was at a loss for words. Because Huo Nuanyang had just reached a shelf nearby and picked up a mens square-cut brief!
    Fu Qi was petrified immediately. Why would he choose this, when she asked him to choose clothes? Huo Nuanyang even chose several more, all of them ck, Alright, these will do. The salesperson nodded awkwardly, quickly took him to the counter. Soon everything was packed, Fu Qi had to take out her credit card and swipe. When the salesperson handed the bag over, she couldnt help but ask, Why did you buy these! Huo Nuanyang answered with a t tone, The team doesnt provide underwear. For all other clothing, they would provide it, and there wasnt much chance to wear them if he bought them. Buying underwear was more useful. Fu Qi: She was speechless. Once outside, Su Wanwan asked what he bought. Fu Qi was too embarrassed to say. Luckily, Huo Nuanyang wasnt one to unt, and only said: Just bought a few things. Su Wanwan instantly brightened withughter.
    She asked her to buy Huo Nuanyang a piece of clothing and she ended up buying several! Looks like this Fu Qi was not too bad, quite generous. In the end, their group turned their attention to the kids section upstairs to buy clothes and toys for Fu Ziyang. After selecting a couple of outfits, while the little one was aloofly picking out toys in the toy section, Huo Jingshens phone rang. Out shopping. Huo Jingshen shared their location and put down his phone. Who was that? Su Wanwan asked. Xiuhuang is on his way. What? Su Wanwan was shocked. Was this a group shopping trip on New Years Day? She imagined that Chu Xiuhuang would probably bring a girlfriend to go shopping with them, but
    He actually showed up with a child. Chapter 568: 568, others spend the New Year with their wives, but he has to be with his child Chapter 568: 568, others spend the New Year with their wives, but he has to be with his child Xiaoye, greet everyone. Chu Xiuhuang instructed haughtily. The child called Xiaoye nced at the group of people and casually muttered, Hello, uncles and aunts. Then he ran off to y with the toys inside. Chu Xiuhuang appeared visibly annoyed. My sister left the child at home, and the old man asked me to take him out shopping. Its so irritating. He doesnt want to go home even after Ive bought a pile of things. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after noticing the sign of the shopping mall hanging nearby, put it back. Others spend New Years with their wives, while he has to stay with a child. Its not a good deal at all. This Xiaoye is a so-called naughty child who is spoilt by Chu Jingyi. With no one to look after him on ordinary days except his nanny, he is spoiled to the point of being egregious. Despite Chu Xiuhuangs impatience, he still had to show him around because of the old mans words today. He was quite unhappy.
    Seeing Xiaoye suddenly running to Fu Ziyang to speak, Chu Xiuhuang said, Ziyang, if I remember correctly, you also studied in Wellington, right? Su Wanwan had no doubt about it and nodded. The first time she met Chu Jingyi was at a parents meeting in the school. Chu Xiuhuang pretended to casually take out his mobile phone. Well then, I need to use the restroom. Can you guys keep an eye on Xiaoye for me? Sure. Everyone watched Chu Xiuhuang leave without giving it much thought. After Fu Ziyang finished choosing the gifts and came out, Xiaoye also followed out with several gifts in his arms. Fu Ziyang picked two lego sets, while all the toys Xiaoye held were electric toys such as remote-controlled cars and armored supermen. Huo Jingshen went to pay the bill, Xiaoye frowned and asked, Where is my uncle? Wasnt he supposed to pay! Huo Jingshen said, Hes in the washroom. Oh. Huo Jingshen quickly swiped his card and took the toys, beckoning Fu Ziyang over, Its gettingte, lets go back and eat. Su Wanwan anxiously asked, What about Chu Xiuhuang? Dont care about him. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, What about the child? The child cant be left alone, right? He was just five, standing in front of the cashier, waiting for an adult to pay for his pile of toys. It was quite heartbreaking. Huo Jingshen looked annoyed. He picked up his phone and dialed a number, Xiuhuang, where are you?
    Not knowing what was said over the call, Huo Jingshens frown deepened. In the end, he hung up the phone, walked back to the cashier and asked, How much is it? Su Wanwan was bbergasted.
    She hurried over to inquire, What happened? That little brat ran away. Su Wanwan: That Chu Xiuhuang! He definitely cant be relied upon! Luckily, they had nned to return home anyway, and Xiaoye joined them for the car ride. On the way, Su Wanwan ordered, Call Grandpa Chu and ask him toe to our house to fetch the child. She told him to call Grandpa Chu, not Chu Jingyi. Huo Jingshen gave her a nce, his thin lips curled into a smile, and he dialed the Chu familys number. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan asked, Is Grandpa Chuing to fetch the childter? Probably. What do you mean by probably? Didnt you call Grandpa Chu? Huo Jingshen replied, Grandpa Chu is old and doesnt like to use a cellphone.
    Su Wanwan: I called the Chus house. The servant answered the call. Jingyi was not home. Su Wanwan had to rest assured. When the car returned to the military districtspound and was parked in the parking lot, they could already hear bursts ofughtering from the living room. Ah, the children are home. Grandpa Chus voice echoed throughout the whole vi. By now, quite a number of people had arrived in the living room, most likely, the old men and women from thepound hade to pay a New Year visit. Seeing Xiaoye return safe and sound, Grandpa Chu relieved his worries and, after sitting for a while, took the child back home. On the way, Grandpa Chu asked, Did your uncle buy you clothes? Xiaoye shook his head, No. Grandpa Chu asked again, Did your uncle buy you something to eat? Xiaoye continued to shake his head: No. Grandpa Chu frowned, Then who bought you these toys? Xiaoye replied, Uncle Huo.
    Then where did your uncle take you to y? Xiaoye directly tattled, My uncle left as soon as we got to the mall! So the old Chu patriarch, in a huff, returned home and sat on the sofa, dialing Chu Xiuhuangs mobile phone number. Once connected, regardless of the Lunar New Years Day, he began scolding, You stinky boy, what are you up to? I let you take Xiaoye out shopping, to buy some clothes and toys, you didnt spend a dime alright, but then you sneak away halfway, is that how you act as an uncle? Grandpa, Im on a date with my girlfriend. The old Chu patriarch was taken aback, Girlfriend? Next second. You reckless brat, are you dating those seductive cheap women again? Im telling you, I will never allow those women to step foot in the Chu Familys house! Who told you they are seductive cheap women? Grandpa, Im telling you, this time my girlfriend is a pure and innocent girl. Huh? The old Chu patriarch was confused, Considering your persona, you managed to find a pure and innocent girl? So she didnt agree to me yet, Ive been chasing her for a long time. Really? The old Chu patriarch felt, somehow, he just didnt believe it. Grandpa, rest assured, give me a few more days, a week, I promise Ill get her in a week! Chu Xiuhuang bragged.
    Get out of here! A decent girl wont even look at you, those blind dates I arranged for you are better. Grandpa, if you really like blind dating so much, why dont you find yourself a step-grandmother? You brat you Okay, enough talking, Ive arrived at my girlfriends house, goodbye. After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang hung up directly, fearing that the old patriarch would continue to bother him, and even switched off his phone. The world was finally peaceful. First, he drove to the mall and bought a bunch of gifts, then he headed to the Shi Family old house located in the east of the city. He remembered the address correctly, but when he arrived at the door, he found it quite different from what he remembered. It was several years ago when hest visited, how did it fall into such a state now? The door was covered with old spring couplets from who knows how many years ago, looking very grubby. There was a lock on it, and no sign of anyone at the entrance. He carried his things and moved to the side, looking into the courtyard through the sparse trees. It looked depressingly as if nobody had lived here for years. What happened? Just then, an olddy passed by, and Chu Xiuhuang hurried over, praising himself for being sweet-tongued, he greeted, Happy New Year, Granny. Who knew, the olddy looked at him, with a cold and unhappy face, Who are you calling Granny? How old are you this year? Chu Xiuhuang said, Im thirty. Im fifty-eight! Chu Xiuhuangs face was full of embarrassment, he could only change his tone, Hello, Auntie. The olddy finally looked a little happier, Who are you looking for? Chu Xiuhuang hurriedly said, I want to ask, isnt this the Shi Familys house? Why isnt there anyone here? You mean the Shi Family? This house has been left vacant for several years, no one lives in it, its said to have been mortgaged, but the price is too high, the location is too remote, no one wants to buy. Then do you know where they moved? I dont know. The olddy shook her head and left. Chu Xiuhuang stood there, his face in turmoil. What the heck. He bought a bunch of New Years goods, thinking of giving Shi Huan a surprise visit on Lunar New Years Day, and also to please the elders, but to his surprise. the ce was deserted. Over the years, he didnt ask about the Shi Familys condition. On usual days, other than work, Shi Huan never discussed anything else with him. Chu Xiuhuang felt he was really unfit to be a boyfriend! How could he be so unconcerned about his girlfriend? So negligent. He could only take out his phone, turn it on, and call Shi Huan. The call was quickly connected. Little Huanhuan, where are you now? Chu Xiuhuang? Is there something? Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but chuckle, Little Huanhuan, did you just wake up? Shi Huan couldnt help but yawn again, her voice clearly sleepy, Chu Xiuhuang, if theres anything, just say it? Where are you? Im at home. Which home? I came to your house but theres no one? Where are you? After Chu Xiuhuang gave the address, Shi Huan said helplessly, My grandmother and others moved a long time ago. Where did they move to? What do you want to do? To find you. Shi Huan was already dizzy from his runaround. ** An hourter, Chu Xiuhuang drove half way around Nancheng and arrived at the Meijiayuan Community where Shi Huan lived. It really is. Troublesome! But for his girlfriend, Chu Xiuhuang felt it was all worth it. Especially when the doorbell rang, the door opened, and Shi Huan stood there in the doorway looking at him with a naive look on her face. It mustve been because she had just gotten up from sleep. She was wearing a set of blue id loungewear, her raven hair casually tied up in a ponytail. Without sses, her rosy cheeks were evident and her apricot eyes looked slightly confused. Her appearance, was like an innocent little bunny, obediently standing at the door, waiting for him, the big bad wolf, toe in. Chapter 569: 569, you unscrupulous little thing! Chapter 569: 569, you unscrupulous little thing! If his hands werent filled with items, Chu Xiuhuang would have embraced her immediately! Mr. Chu, why are you buying all these things? Shi Huan frowned as she looked at the packages in his hands. Chu Xiuhuang: These are for you. Actually, he had originally nned to give them to the olddy of the Shi Family. But it doesnt matter. He bought birds nests, ginseng, and donkey-hide gtin, all of which can be eaten by Little Huanhuan to enhance her beauty. Shi Huan watched as he entered the room, put on his slippers, and ced those things on the ground, before sitting down in front of the couch. He was as familiar as if he had returned to his own house. His demeanor was so fearless and unconcerned. Looking at the impressive array of gift boxes on the coffee table, Shi Huan spoke, Mr. Chu, these things are really too much. Its okay, just take your time eating them. As Chu Xiuhuang spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Shi Huans wrist.
    Shi Huan felt a warmth on her hand and instinctively tried to pull back, Mr. Chu, you Let me hold you. After Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, he stood up, pulling forcefully, and embraced Shi Huan. She was confronted by a mans unfamiliar scent, tinged with the outdoor cold. Shi Huan immediately felt ufortable all over as she struggled to free herself, Mr. Chu, let me go, you let go of me first. No! Chu Xiuhuang hugged her tightly. His strength was so great that she couldnt break free at all. Damn woman. A gritted teeth sound came from her ear, Tell me, who were you withst night? Shi Huan paused again, What are you referring to,st night? Dont y dumb! Im asking you who you spent New Years Eve with? You only sent me a single congrattory message? Shi Huans hands pushed against the man, trying to keep herself from getting too close to him. She repeatedly exined, I went home to make dinner then returned here. I spent it alone. Really? Youre not lying to me? Why would I lie to you? Hmm, I guess you wouldnt dare lie to me. Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows twitched, and he finally felt a bit better. Mr. Chu, can you let go of me first? Shi Huan spoke again. She felt strange being held like this, face to face. However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed to sniff like a little dog, What scent is this? Why does it smell so good? Shi Huan frowned, It is lunchtime, maybe someone is cooking downstairs. No. Shi Huan:
    Im talking about your scentmmnice scent, let me sniff properly. With that, he lowered his face and inhaled deeply. At his actions, Shi Huan froze, her heart jumped. For no reason, her heart rate sped up, and goosebumps raced across her skin. It made her feel ufortable.
    Mr. Chu, stop fooling around, you Im not fooling around, you really do smell good. Chu Xiuhuang responded, raising a hand, and suddenly pulling at something beside her. Shi Huan felt a chill as she didnt have time to react. So thats how a woman smellsits nice Before Chu Xiuhuang finished, he was pushed away by Shi Huan. Her face, originally somewhat rosy from sleep, was nowpletely red. She was angry. And a bitshy. She didnt expect Mr. Chu to suddenly pull at her cor. Mr. Chu, if you keep this up, Ill call for help! Her voice was trembling with anger. Chu Xiuhuang irritably stared at her, You ungrateful thing, today is New Years Day. I left my own house to apany you, is it wrong to want a hug? You call for help? Who are you going to yell for? Go ahead, yell. Let me hear who woulde to your aid! With his increasing anger, his words started to get out of hand. It didnt ur to him that his behavior resembled a mischievous young master harassing a peasant girl in ancient times
    He reached out again, but before he could touch her, she pushed him away. Furthermore, Shi Huan went and opened the door, with a disdainful tone, Mr. Chu, you should leave. I have things to doter. What are you going to do? Shi Huan stayed quiet. Just then, his phone rang and she hurriedly said, Mr. Chu, your phone is ringing. Chu Xiuhuang grabbed it and saw it was a call from his family. He impatiently answered, Grandpa, didnt I tell you Im with a girl You young punk, your brother-inw is here. My sister is already divorced; where did this brother-inwe from? Your former brother-inw! Chus grandfather was choked by the response, his roaring voice could be heard by Shi Huan. Oh, what about my former brother-inw? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was still nonchnt. Your ex-brother-inw came home and caused a ruckus with your sister, saying he wanted to take Xiaoye with him. Then let him take Xiaoye. Chu Xiuhuang immediately responded.
    That brat called Xiaoye, hes demanding this, demanding that all day long, whoever wants to take him, just take him! Chu Xiuhuang doesnt care at all. In response, old Mr. Chu gave him another round of scolding, You insensible brat, stop spouting nonsense ande back home to see whats happening. Your mom almost fell over in anger just now. Shes still in a cast because of herst fracture. Dont let it get any worse, understood? Got it, Im on my way back. Chu Xiuhuang, usually full of smiles, hung up the phone impatiently, his handsome face unusually serious. Little Huanhuan, I need to go home. Theres an emergency. Then you should hurry up. Given that his ex-brother-inw showed up, things mustve gotten pretty heated, especially since Chu Xiuhuang didnt look too happy about it. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice low and dark, Why do I feel like youre a little happy about this? Not at all, Mr. Chu, youre mistaken. I just think family matters are more important. Shi Huan blinked, her face sincere. She absolutely couldnt let him discover her hope that he would leave soon. Chu Xiuhuang didnt reply, just staring at her. Shi Huan became nervous and blinked again. Why isnt he leaving? Then. The mans movements were so fast that Shi Huan only saw ck.
    Startled, she was just about to push him away when he already pulled back. Chu Xiuhuang curled his thin lips into a smirk, like a fox that just got the chicken, So you like pink. Having said that, he turned around and left. Without giving Shi Huan a chance to respond. Once he entered the elevator and the doors closed, Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fist and let out a triumphant, Yes! He was overwhelmed with excitement. Damn! This was the first time hed ever felt this happy. Next time. He definitely, DEFINITELY had to run into Little Huanhuan again! Chu Xiuhuang pressed the elevator button, smacked his lips, savoring the brief sweetness from earlier. He remembered their previous encounter at the club when Little Huanhuan had given him his first kiss. But as soon as they touched, Little Huanhuan started biting. Just like a wild little kitten. Not only did it sober him up, but it also left a scar that took a few days to heal. Next time, he would make sure she was willingly his! Yep! Closing the front door, it took Shi Huan quite a while toe back to her senses. What was Chu Xiuhuang just? She furrowed her brows, her mind a mess. Until her phone suddenly rang. Rushing into the bedroom to pick it up, she answered, Mom. Tomorrow is the second day of the new year, remember toe home for dinner. I dont want to go. Not negotiable. Qian Yulin cut her off, Your uncle is back now, and your grandmother said were all going out for dinner tomorrow. As his niece, you cantC mustnt be absent. Alright. Shi Huan reluctantly agreed. With a slightly softened tone, Qian Yulin asked, Did you send your sisters tuition and living expenses for next semester? I sent it to her before the new year. Shi Huan replied. Good. Qian Yulin responded, satisfied, You only have to work hard for another half a year. Once she graduates andes back to the country, you can rest assured. Once she finds a job, shell repay all the tuition and misceneous fees from the years past. You dont have to worry. Okay. Perhaps sensing Shi Huans indifference, Qian Yulin added, Your sister is too proud to say these things to you, but she made me a promise in private. You can trust me. Okay. Thats all for now,e home earlier tomorrow. Goodbye. After hanging up the phone, Shi Huan stood still, a corner of her mouth curling into a cold, self-mocking smile. If it wasnt for that ident five years ago, the one studying abroad should have been her, not Shi Qingge. Not only did she take her spot for studying abroad, but over thest five years, all the tuition and living expenses had to be paid by her. Luckily, most of the family debts have already been repaid and Shi Qingge was finally about to graduate. Everything seemed to being to an end. Shi Huan thought to herself, perhaps she would finally be free. Chapter 570: 570, Wanwan: Want to calculate me? Chapter 570: 570, Wanwan: Want to calcte me? The next day was the second day of the new lunar year. Soon after Su Wanwan got up, she received a call from Qiao Zixin. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qiao Zixin asked, Wanwan, I recall you having a friend who is a celebrity, what is his name again? Su Wanwan replied, Youre referring to Ye Qitian, arent you? Thats right, I couldnt remember his name. The thing is, ourpany has received a few advertising cases recently, and we need to find a few brand spokespeople in coordination with the manufacturers. We need young and quality male icons. Could you ask your friend if he would be interested? If hes open to it, we can find a time to have a good talk about the endorsement fee and such. Alright, Su Wanwan agreed immediately. Thats fantastic, Wanwan. Thank you so much. Su Wanwan chuckled, Cousin, isnt it just the second day of the New Year? And youre already back at work? Oh dear, we cant help it. Even though we have a seven-day New Year holiday, we cant neglect our work. So, when you get a chance, please ask him or just give me his direct contact details, or the managers would also do. Okay, Ill ask him for youter on. He is currently back in Los Angeles, so its not convenient for him to be contacted.
    Alright, Qiao Zixin tactfully changed the subject. By the way, your uncle mentioned that there is a dinner at Huashang Restaurant tonight to celebrate his promotion to bureau chief. My parents and I will also be there tonight and you shoulde too, Wanwan. Su Yuntang had mentioned this to her when he was hospitalized. Su Wanwan didnt agree to it then. Now, she pondered for a moment, saying, Wouldnt it be inappropriate for me to attend? Qiao Zixin began to persuade her immediately, I know what youre worried about. Dont worry, Ive asked Grandpa, and Yanyan is noting back this year. Really? Yes, after the huge scandal she caused, Uncle could think of nothing hed like more than for her to stay in South Korea forever. Uncle has just been promoted to bureau chief, and the guests tonight are all rtives. Not to mention, there are also leaders from the bureau and the city, how could he possibly let Yanyan show up at a time like this? Wouldnt that be a discredit to him? Su Wanwan agreed, That makes sense. Su Yuntang was very much concerned about his face. When he was about to get into politics, he was able to agree to Xing Yuyuns divorce conditions unconditionally. Now that he has just been promoted to bureau chief, he definitely cannot allow anything to affect his image as a bureau chief. Alright then, why dont you bring Mr. Huo home in the afternoon? After all, we are all family and it would be improper not to go home during the New Year, right? After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan had a clear understanding in her heart. Ever since she found out that Qiao Zixin had been secretly eyeing Huo Jingshen, after the wedding, all the eerie behaviors of her cousin seemed to be exined. Ha, sigh. And now, she was still calling her frequently, sparing no effort to meet her, she must have some wicked n. However Su Wanwans beautiful phoenix eyes shed with a cold light. Want to calcte me?
    Im afraid that in the end, you will only harm yourself! ** When Su Wanwan came downstairs, Grandmother Huo was instructing the maids to prepare gift boxes. Seeing Su Wanwan, she said, Wanwan, today Qinyu and others n to go home for the day. I have already made a reservation at a restaurant. Well all go out for lunch together.
    Sure. By the way, these things here, your grandfather and I bought them. Let Ashen take themter, Grandmother Huo pat Su Wanwans hand. We have dinner with the Ming family tonight, so we wont be attending your fathers celebration dinner. Ashen will take you home for a while, is that okay? Su Wanwan looked at Huo Jingshen, Are we going back to the Su family today? He hadnt mentioned this to her before. Grandmother Huo immediately said, I know you dont want to go back, but its the New Year. Ashen needs to take you home for a visit. Dont worry, with Ashen apanying you, no one in the Su family dares to bully you. Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh, Grandma, you think too much. No one bullies me. Grandmother Huo alsoughed, You always keep the sorrow to yourself and only share the good news. Su Wanwan: She was not the type to keep sorrows to herself and only share the good news. Because, even if she was bullied, it was in the past. Now, who would dare bully her? ** They had lunch at a well-known Jiangnan Restaurant in Nancheng, which catered specifically to the taste of Jiangnan cuisine. ording to the custom in Nancheng, the daughters who had married would return to their parents home on the second day of the New Year. As the standard of living improved, more and more families would dine out during the New Year.
    On the one hand, it was convenient. On the other hand, it was also a way to save face. So the restaurant business was abnormally hot during the New Year, and it was always bustling with people. When they arrived at the restaurant, the men went to park the cars while the women walked in first. Grandmother Huo instructed Huo Zhexi to help Grandfather Huo walk slowly into the restaurant. Mingzhu and Su Wanwan followed them from behind. The entire family, all strikingly handsome, attracted attention wherever they went. Just as they reached the second floor, they bumped into an old acquaintance. Oh, Elder Huo, youre dining here today? And who is this? The elderlydy with rosyplexion and white hair eyed Su Wanwan with a mix of curiosity and admiration. This is my granddaughter-inw, Wanwan. How is she? Pretty, isnt she? Elder Huo immediately began to show off. Today, Su Wanwan wore a bright yellow blouse with blue jeans. Her hair was done up in a flower bud bun, which made her look lithe and lovely. Her beautiful, bare face was snow-white and wless, devoid of any pores or wrinkles. God, to be young is indeed wonderful. The olddy nodded approvingly, Beautiful, truly beautiful, Ashen is one lucky guy. Hahaha. Elder Huo could hardly contain herughter, Wanwan, this is your grandma Nangong.
    Su Wanwan immediately greeted her sweetly, Hello, Grandma Nangong, Happy New Year. Ah, such a sweet little mouth. While saying this, Nangong Grandma unexpectedly pulled out arge red envelope, Here, this is for you! Su Wanwan was stunned. Holy cow! A red envelope for just saying Happy New Year! But she was a little hesitant to ept it. Elder Huoughed and said, Go ahead, take it. Your grandma Nangong has plenty of money. Su Wanwan: With a smile, she finally epted the red envelope, Thank you, Grandma Nangong. How is your son Aci doing? Elder Huo chose to stir another talk. Then. Ah, dont get me started. Hes such an adult now, but hes never had a girlfriend. Hes still a virgin! Hahaha. Elder Huo immediatelyughed heartily, He needs more introductions, your Aci is too introverted!
    Su Wanwan chuckled so she had to cover her mouth. Nangong Ci introverted? Oh my God! However, Nangong Grandma directly looked at Su Wanwan, My dear, do you have any friends you can introduce to my Aci? Hes introverted, shy, and doesnt like to talk much. Im getting anxious day by day. Su Wanwan nods, trying to hold back herughter, Okay. Thats great! Here, lets exchange WeChat contacts, and we can talk more about itter. Nangong Grandma didnt hesitate to pull out her phone. The daughter-inw standing by could only silently pray for her son. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the olddy was finally led away by her daughter-inw. As they entered the private room, Huo Junchengs family had already taken their seats. Aside from Huo Nuanyang who had returned to the army early this morning, Huo Zhexi sat between his parents. Dressed in a suit and unting ming red hair, he looked quite mboyant. His expression, however, was somewhat impatient, as if he was being lectured. Upon the arrival of the guests, Mingzhu immediately stood up to greet everyone. When will Qinyu and the others arrive? Elder Huo asked. They said they are on the way but got stuck in traffic. Mingzhu replied. She then got up, picked up the teapot and started to pour tea for everyone. Huo Zhexi took a look around, stealthily pulled out his phone. Before he could y for long, Mingzhu suddenly walked over, snatched his phone and put it in her pocket. Mom, why do you need my phone? Huo Zhexi was rmed. Mingzhus face was coldly beautiful, Were dining together with grandpa and grandma today. No phones. Why are you interfering with me ying with my phone! How old do you think I am? Mom, cant you stop treating me like a kid? Mom? Mom? Mingzhupletely ignored him. Huo Zhexi was distressed. He had sent so many messages on New Years Eve, and it was already today, but Bai Ruwei hadnt replied. And now his phone had been confiscated, and in front of so many people, it was really embarrassing. He looked at Su Wanwan, and sure enough, the darn girl was having a st. God damn it! Huo Zhexi gritted his teeth, feeling incredibly aggrieved about this New Year. Not long after, Huo Qinyus family stepped into the private room, led by Huo Jingshen. As she saw Xing Yuyun, who she hadnt seen for months, following at the back, Su Wanwan was slightly taken aback but quickly averted her gaze. On the contrary, it was Xing Yuyun who seemed somewhat excited. Looking at Su Wanwan, he felt that the girl had changed a bit over the past few months he hadnt seen her. Chapter 571: 571, no good deeds come without ulterior motives; if not deceit then its theft! Chapter 571: 571, no good deedse without ulterior motives; if not deceit then its theft! Looking at Su Wanwan, he felt as if she was somewhat different from a few months ago. Sitting next to Huo Jingshen, she resembled a good-natured young wife, her beautiful eyes crescent-shaped when she smiled, sparkling as if with stars, bright and radiant. As they were indoors, Huo Jingshen wore a ck cashmere sweater over his white shirt, presenting the image of a mature and stable business elite at a nce. With her casual attire, the trappings of youthful innocence were still apparent on Su Wanwans face. The mischievous bun hairstyle, along with a face unsullied by makeup, made her look pure and beautiful, like a freshman university student in herte teens. Huo Jingshen was a full 10 years older than her, and he had thought sitting together would be awkward, yet surprisingly One was mature and reserved, the other spirited and lively. Unexpectedly, they seemed a perfect match. Especially when Huo Jingshen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wanwan with a slight smile. At the same time, Su Wanwan looked up at him. For a moment, the couple exchanged a deep look, creating a harmonious scene. Xing Yuyun watched them, his fists unconsciously clenched.
    How could this be? Didnt she marry Huo Jingshen impulsively just to anger him? But now, they seemed as intimate as a long-married couple. In less than half a year, had their rtionship developed so well? This realization made Xing Yuyun ufortable. His gaze remained fixed on Su Wanwans face, and he had even forgotten to move, until his arm was abruptly pulled. Yuyun. Huo Qinyu lowered her voice, warning sharply, Greet your grandparents. Xing Yuyunposed himself and came forward with his gift, Grandfather, grandmother, Happy New Year. All the elders present were aware of the engagement between Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan two years ago. But during her studying abroad, Xing Yuyun had an affair with her half-done sister, Su Yanyan, which culminated in a false pregnancy scandal. In any case, the whole thing ended in an ugly mess. But today, being the Spring Festival and a family gathering, no one wanted to bring up such unpleasant matters. They just pretend not to know. After the elder couple had epted the gift, Xing Yuyun also greeted Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu, then turned to Huo Jingshen. Brother. Huo Jingshen nodded slightly, maintaining a superior elders distance, giving a lukewarm response. Su Wanwan, watching the exchange, couldnt help but want tough. He was so childish and unrestrained in private, but he could be pretty intimidating in public. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the Huo family, and his status was enough tomand respect, even without saying a word. But Xing Yuyun, looking at Su Wanwan, couldnt bring himself to address her as sister-inw. Seeing her sons hesitation, the anxious Huo Qinyu nudged him, and finally, Xing Yuyun managed to stammer, Sister-inw. Looking at his embarrassed expression, Su Wanwan felt an inexplicable desire tough. Poor guy.
    Nodding slightly in acknowledgment, she considered this as a greeting. Mingzhu stood up at the right moment to announce, Now that everyone is here, waiter, please bring out the dishes. Xing Yuyun found a seat and sat down, but his gaze keep drifting towards Su Wanwan. But soon, he felt another gaze upon him.
    When he looked up, there was indeed, Huo Jingshens eyes met his. His cold gaze seemed filled with intimidating sharpness, probing and invasive, as if seeing through to his every thought all at once. Xing Yuyun felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, Huo Jingshen turned his gaze away. After that, Xing Yuyun didnt dare to nce around casually anymore. Grandfather, Grandmother. Suddenly, Xing Siqing appeared beside grandfather Huo and grandmother Huo. Here are the gifts I brought for you, wishing you a happy and blissful new year, and long years of health. With her sweet voice and ingratiating smile, she then presented gifts to Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu as well. Of course, all the elders were very pleased. Although Xing Siqing was a bit spoiled, her sweet talk was indeed an asset. And she knew how to win over the elders. Whenever there was a gathering, she never showed up empty-handed in front of the elders, always bringing gifts tailor-made to their preferences. You could see the thought shed put into it ahead of time. Of course, it could have been Huo Qinyus idea.
    Su Wanwan thought about this, but she just smiled politely, until Xing Siqing suddenly came to her side. Sister-inw, this is my New Year gift for you. I hope you like it. Su Wanwan was surprised, For me? Yes. Under Huo Qinyus indicating gaze, Xing Siqing handed over a pink gift box. Su Wanwan was utterly shocked now. Had Xing Siqing changed her nature? Previously, every time she saw her, she was ready to bite, but today she was so polite? Not to mention calling her sister-inw voluntarily she also gave her a gift. Were there unexpected showers of blossoms? Unsolicited greetings, either treacherous or thieving! She didnt believe this little bitch could change that much in such a short time. But just. With the elders at the table watching, Su Wanwan immediately stood up, smiling, Thank you, Sister Siqing.
    Isnt it simply ying along? Who cant do that? Sure enough, seeing Su Wanwan happily ept the gift, Xing Siqings eyes moved slightly, but her voice remained gentle and sweet, I didnt know what Sister-inw likes, thought you were still in college, so I brought you thetest version of the tablet, hope you will like it. Sister Siqing, youre really considerate. Isnt this quite expensive? Su Wanwan was somewhat surprised. She actually gave such a practical thing as a tablet. Frankly speaking, if Xing Siqing gave cosmetics or something, she really wouldnt dare to use them. Xing Siqing scorned in her heart, but still kept up the modest courtesy on the surface, Its okay, I already have a job now, I have a steady ie, as long as Sister-inw likes it. Thank you, I really like it. Su Wanwan also responded with a smile. At one side, Grandma Huo spoke up, Not bad, Siqing, you finally learned something this time. Huo Qinyu said with a smile, Siqing has always been the one who is doing wrong, she didnt understand and had some prejudice against Wanwan. But after all, we are family, and once everything is cleared up, there will be no problem. Siqing, you should get along well with your sister-inw in the future, okay? I got it. Xing Siqing pouted, seemingly a little embarrassed. So in an instant, the whole room was filled withughter and talk. Everyone chatted for a while, and the waiters began toe in one after another to serve dishes.
    They were all wearing high-split, sleeveless red cheongsams, with high buns, holding delicate trays. Upon seeing Bai Ruwei alsoing in with a tray, Mingzhu, who had been smiling before, suddenly froze. Huo Juncheng followed his wifes gaze, and before he could understand what was going on, Huo Zhexi next to him had already jumped up in excitement. Xiaowei, why are you here? Bai Ruwei stood there with a pale face, still holding a tray in her hand, which was filled with a cold dish. Su Wanwan was equally surprised. She never thought that Bai Ruwei would work as a waitress in this restaurant, and just happened to be serving dishes to their room. Was this a soap opera? Others didnt know what was going on, but with Huo Zhexis outcry of Xiaowei, it seemed like they all understood, and everyones eyes fell on Bai Ruweis face. Under everyones gaze, Bai Ruwei still came over with a stiff calmness, and put the cold dish on the mobile table. The Dragon and Phoenix bring you good luck, please enjoy. After reporting the name of the dish, she turned and left with the tray. No doubt Huo Zhexi would let her walk away like this, he immediately rushed out. Mingzhu didnt even have time to hold him back. Everyone at the table looked at each other in dismay until Grandpa Huo asked in a deep voice, Mingzhu, what exactly is going on? Su Wanwan didnt speak. Mingzhu sighed, Dad, that waitress just now, shes Zhexis ex-girlfriend. What? Grandma Huo frowned, Zhexis ex-girlfriend? Xing Siqing couldnt help saying, Really? Was that waitress Zhexis girlfriend? When did Zhexi start to like this type? Huo Qinyu quickly pulled her daughter back, You say less. Was she blind? Couldnt she see that her aunts face had changed? Mingzhus face indeed didnt look good. She disliked Bai Ruwei. She never mentioned such a small thing to the Huo family. She thought she would settle it quietly, but today, the whole family saw it! Chapter 572: 572, I am not obligated to drinking with others. Chapter 572: 572, I am not obligated to drinking with others. Huo Juncheng also asked his wife, Mingzhu, didnt you say they had broken up? Madam Huo frowned deeply, If theyve broken up, why did Zhexi still run after her? Mingzhu was at a loss for words, so she got up and said, Dad, mom, you eat first, Ill go bring Zhexi back. * * Xiaowei, Xiaowei! Huo Zhexi chased her to the corridor, only to find that she was nowhere to be found. All the female waitresses back and forth were all wearing identical red cheongsam, none of them were Bai Ruwei. Wanting to call her, he realized that his phone had long been confiscated by Mingzhu.
    So when Mingzhu came out, Huo Zhexi rushed over, Mom, give me the phone quickly. Mingzhu directly twisted his ear, Come back with me! We have a family gathering today, and the elders are all waiting for you in the private room, is this appropriate? But mom, Xiaowei, she Enough with the chatter! Mingzhu pulled her son and started to walk back. Huo Zhexi was pulled for a few steps before he finally broke free, Mom, I need to find Xiaowei! Mingzhus pretty face froze, Zhexi, let me tell you, its a festival today, and all the elders are here, I dont want to make a scene! Mingzhu has always been assertive, Huo Zhexi was somewhat hesitant, but still said, But mom, I want to have a good talk with Xiaowei, shes been ignoring metely. Okay. Huo Zhexi was overjoyed. The next second. After dinner. But mom Shes working here as a waitress, can she possibly run away? Mingzhus tone was firm, If you donte back to the private room with me, Ill send you abroad to study tomorrow! You wont be able toe back for the rest of your life! I mean what I say! Hearing this, Huo Zhexi had to agree. Alright, Ill go back with you first, okay? He could only find Xiaoweiter. Just before he left, he looked at the hall outside once more. * * After the mother and son left, Bai Ruwei emerged from a corner.
    The whole restaurant was extremely bustling today, it was noisy and lively in the hall. All the customers wereing and going, every one of them had a genuine smile on their face, and even more were rosy faced from drinking. However, Bai Ruwei felt extremely bitter inside. Especially, the moment she stepped into the private room, the people at the table were allughing and joking, including Su Wanwan, everybody was beautifully dressed and glowing, full of joy.
    But the moment they saw her, their faces changed instantly. Jjust like seeing an ominous person. Yes. They are distinguished guests. And shes just a waitress here. A temporary waitress no less. As the restaurant was busy during the Spring Festival, she was kept on as temporary help. She was so out of ce with everyone in the private room, they were simply not from the same world. Bai Ruwei admits that, when Huo Zhexi stood up and called her name, she felt a sense of satisfaction deep down. Even a little vanity. But, thats all there is to it isnt it? Huo Zhexi could not possibly leave his family to find her, becausepared to her, his family was obviously more important. Xiaowei, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and serve the dishes in Yanshui Pavilion! the managers voice suddenly rang out.
    Okay, Im going right now. Bai Ruwei quickly turned to go to the kitchen, but suddenly the door of the nearest private room opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, his face full with the smell of alcohol, and then their bodies collided with each other. Whats going on! The mans voice rang out impatiently. The voice was rough, loud, rude, and clearly drunk. Sorry sir, I didnt do it on purpose, are you alright? Bai Ruwei hastily asked. The man appeared to be around forty or fifty years old, wearing a dark gray suit, slightly chubby, his face was flushed from drinking, his eyes were drunk and his vision was blurry Clearly he was drunk. Not on purpose? The man belched, his tiger-like face looking at her, Then you did it intentionally? Bai Ruwei slightly frowned, Im sorry, I really didnt do it intentionally. Okay. The man finished talking, directly pulled her and started to walk to the private room, Then apany me for a few drinks, drink up and Ill forgive you. Bai Ruwei began to struggle, Sir, Im a waitress here, I still have work to do. Arent waitresses supposed to serve the customers? The man said, suddenly leering at her, Yo, youre pretty good looking, tell me, whats your name? Bai Ruwei didnt expect to encounter a drunken buffoon, not in his right mind and also very lustful.
    She didnt want to talk any more, struggling to break free and wanting to leave, but unexpectedly her waist was suddenly grabbed by him. His meaty hand was touching her cheek. The strong smell of alcohol, and his shaking belly, immediately gave her goosebumps. Sir, please let go of me! Bai Ruwei endured her disgust and struggled to push him away. What if I dont let go? The man lowered his head, the smile on his face somewhat wretched, Are waitresses this arrogant these days? Whats wrong with asking you to apany me for a few drinks? You dare to refuse, do you believe that with just one word from me, youll lose this job? Huh? Im a waitress, but I dont serve drinks! Bai Ruwei couldnt pry off the two fat hands on her waist, she was bing extremely anxious. Chapter 573: 573, silly son Chapter 573: 573, silly son She took a look around. There were so many people watching the spectacle, but not a single person was willing to help. Sir, I urge you to let go of me immediately! Right now? Hahaha. The man broke into uncontrobleughter, Who do you think you are? Are you ordering me around? You dirty slut, having the chance to drink with me is an honour, yet you show such resistance. Do you not care about my feelings? Do you even know who I am, huh? Who? Bai Ruwei gritted her teeth, I am Huo Zhexis girlfriend, you know who he is, right? Who? Huo Zhexi, the third young master of the Huo Family of Nancheng. You must know who they are, right? Bai Ruwei thought that if she mentioned the Huo Family, this man might be intimidated and leave her alone. Unexpectedly Did you just say Huo Zhexi? Hahaha, thats hrious. Howe Ive never heard anyone from the Huo Family mention that Zhexi has a girlfriend? Besides, do you really think someone like Zhexi would take an interest in you? With your looks and figure tsk tsk seems like you are trying to gild the lily. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you think you, a toad, can eat swan meat?
    Seeing Bai Ruweis grim expression, he continued to insult her, Ive seen many women like you. You think that because you are somewhat attractive, you can marry into a noble family, right? Youre just a vain and despicable leech! If you want money, I can give it to you. Theres no difference between keepingpany with Zhexi or me. If you perform well, I might even take you under my wing. What do you say,e on. After saying that, he immediately made a move, trying to undeterred forcibly pull her. Bai Ruwei struggled violently, gripping the doorframe tightly. When the man finally loosened his grip a little, she turned around and dashed away. As the mans fatty palm reached out to grab her arm again, Bai Ruwei was terrified. Unable to hold back, she turned to face him and delivered a hard p across his face. With a loud smack, the sound echoed throughout the corridor. The man stood still, stunned. This p seemed to have woken him from his drunken stupor. All eyes from the surrounding crowd were fixed on his face. Muffledughter could even be faintly heard. The mans twisted face revealed his embarrassment. He retaliated with an even louder p, You bloody bitch, refusing my toast means you will have to drink a forfeit. How dare you hit me? Bai Ruwei let out a scream as her demure body was knocked to the floor. She was wearing the restaurants uniform, a high-cored, sleeveless qipao with a high slit. When she fell, the qipao rode up on her, revealing her legs despite she wore leggings underneath. Under the light, it was quite a sight to anyones eyes. Before she could even get back up, the man was already descending on her,nding a vicious kick to her body, You bloody bitch, taking liberties because Ive been kind to you? Look at what youre wearing, all provocatively dressed. Do you think if you spread your legs widely, serving men well, you could climb your way up into high society? Shameless whore, well if thats what you think, then youre dreaming! Some people came forward to pull the man off her. Some busied themselves with taking pictures on their phones, while others simply enjoyed the spectacle. Apanied by Bai Ruweis cries, the ce was filled with chaos andmotion. * * *
    Inside the private room on this side The suddenmotion from outside prompted a frown from old Mr. Huo, Whats going on? Why is it so noisy outside? Ill check it out. Huo Qinyu quickly left the room only to return shortly, Its nothing, just someone who drank too much and is causing a ruckus.
    Old Mrs. Huo nodded, Its the New Year, a time for celebration, drinking is permissible, but not to excess. Its disgraceful to lose onesposure and be the butt of peoples jokes. Ashen. At the mention of his name, Huo Jingshen raised his head, Grandma. You still have to apany Wanwan back hometer. Dont drink now, and remember to limit yourselfter in the evening. Understood. The speaker was unaware, but the listener took it to heart. Xing Yuyun, who was sitting close by, furrowed his eyebrows, picked up his wine ss, and downed it in one gulp. * * * Bai Ruwei dialed Huo Zhexis number for the umpteenth time on her phone. Im sorry. The number you dialed cannot be reached at this moment. Please try againter. The sound of repeating mechanical female voice came through the speaker. Why isnt he answering his phone?
    Is it because she had not responded to his messages that he had given up as well? But if that was true, why did he chase after her just now? Can it be that because there were people from the Huo family present, he didnt dare to take her call? See! The mans smug voice was heard again, She even lied about being the girlfriend of the Huo familys third young master, thats just ridiculous. You can be ambitious, but you must know your limits. Can you seriously think that the Huo family would ept a waitress as their daughter-inw? The manager beside them kept apologizing, Im really sorry, Mr. Zhou, its all our fault. Xiaowei, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhou. Bai Ruwei spoke up sadly, Manager, it was him who touched me first During the New Year, you, being a waitress, quarreled with a customer and caused such a terrible situation, do you still think youre right? The manager cut her off, If you dont apologize, then just fuck off right now! And dont even think about getting this months sry! Upon hearing this, Bai Ruwei couldnt help but yell, Manager, you cant treat me like this! Why cant I? You disrespected a customer, you filled the restaurant with negativity and you affected the other guests. The business today ispletely ruined because of you, and you still want your sry? You should be giving me money, you know? Done speaking, the manager appealed to the supervisor nearby, Kick her out right away, deduct all her previous wages, dont give her a penny! Manager, I have been working here since the winter vacation, on New Years Eve and New Years Day, I havent taken a day off. Manager, I beg you, I havent settled my living expenses for next term yet, you cant just deduct my sry like this Whats that got to do with me? Get out of here! Dont disrupt my business.
    The manager was very impatient, he wanted to leave but Bai Ruwei grabbed his arm, pleading bitterly, Manager! I beg you, you cant treat me like this Get the security to throw her out! Security, security! The manager hysterically yelled. Here, Su Wanwan was holding Huo Jingshens hand, ready to leave with all other elders. As soon as they reached the staircase, they could hear amotion echoing from the corridor nearby. A soft and feeble female voice sounded familiar. Before Su Wanwan could recognize it, Huo Zhexi had already rushed over. Zhexi! Mingzhu couldnt control her expression out of anger. What an ungrateful fool of a son! Whats going on? The repeated disturbances had visibly angered Old Master Huo.
    They just came out for a meal, and this good-for-nothing grandson kept creating a fuss. He is not stable at all. If she is really your girlfriend, bring her home for us to see. If you have broken up, then break up cleanly. Dont cause such a ruckus over and over! Dad, its my fault, rest assured, Ill deal with it today. Mingzhu said with a warm smile, Dad, mom, aunt, you go home first, Juncheng and I will go and take a look. Su Wanwan also wanted to follow to watch the excitement, but Huo Jingshen tightened his hold on her hand and pulled her away. No chance to watch any more. * * * Xiaowei! Huo Zhexi rushed over, pushed the door open, and saw Bai Ruwei standing there. The hairstyle that she had initially tidied up was now quite messy, with strands of hair dangling beside her swollen cheeks, corners of her mouth bleeding, and her eyes were tearful. It was clear she had been bullied. The sight filled Huo Zhexi with rage and anger causing his voice to tremble, Xiaowei, who hit you? Zhexi. Bai Ruweis crying wouldnt stop. Huo Zhexi looked at a man in a suit beside him, reached out and grabbed his cor, Did you hit my girlfriend? As a man, you dare to hit a woman? Are you even a man, huh! He didnt know the man, but the man recognized him. Especially when he saw Huo Juncheng and his wifeing up behind him, he immediately shouted, Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, look at your good son! He attacked his elder on New Years, this is absolutely outrageous! You dare to shout? Huo Zhexi, whos never known for his good temper, heard him and immediatelynded a punch on his face. The man shouted Ouch, fell back onto a table, and everything, person and table inclusive, tumbled over onto the floor. * * 10 minutester. Everyone moved to the resting room. Huo Juncheng spoke sternly, Zhexi, apologize to Uncle Zhou. Huo Zhexi was indignant, Why should I apologize? He bullied Xiaowei first. Zhou Tingzheng quickly yed the victim, Nonsense, it was that bitch who hit first! Damn you, can you really get hit by a woman? I swear today Ill cripple you! Huo Zhexi was all set to take him down again. Zhexi! Mingzhu scolded him sharply. Huo Zhexi was held back by his father, but his eyes remained locked on Zhou Tingzheng, looking fierce as if he was about to eat him alive. Tingzheng, what exactly happened? asked Huo Juncheng. Zhou Tingzheng: Thest thing he expected was that this waitress was actually Huo Zhexis girlfriend. Chapter 574: 574, an infant giant with incomplete intellect? Chapter 574: 574, an infant giant with iplete intellect? He had initially been dining here with a friend and identally had too much to drink. Seeing that Bai Ruwei was somewhat attractive, he thought to take advantage of his drunken state to make a pass at her. Besides, shes just a contemptible waitress, a type of woman hes always looked down on. He thought nothing of hitting her or scolding her whenever he felt like it. Who knew hed kick against a brick wall today? She had such a wild temper and even dared to attack him? How could he tolerate this? Now that he had beaten Bai Ruwei to such a state, he felt a bit nervous in case the Huo Family really questioned him. But when he thought about it, the Zhou Family has business dealings with the Ming Family, and Huo Zhexi, as their junior, had to call him Uncle Zhou. He also noticed that since she had entered the room, Mrs. Huos face had never looked good. The way she treated her, clearly didnt regard this woman as a future daughter-inw. That was understandable. The Huo Family was the wealthiest in Nancheng with strict rules, and Mrs. Huo was notoriously tough. How was it possible for them to let their son marry a waitress who wasnt fit for show?
    Thinking of this, Zhou Tingzheng immediately said, Zhexi, Im sorry. I truly didnt know she was your girlfriend. Dressed all up as a waitress, yet idling around instead of doing her job. I was just drunk and wanted her to help me up. Who knew shed start yelling and even p me, using me of molesting her. I was upset and pped her back. Can you me me for this? Is this just one p? Shes bleeding from her mouth, are you fucking blind? Huo Zhexi red fiercely. Mingzhu abruptly pulled him back and coldly said, Didnt your Uncle Zhou exin everything? He was just drunk and confused for a moment, he might have said some offensive things. But Miss Bai did start the physical altercation, making a problem where she could havemunicated instead. Did she do it for the sake of making a fuss or was it some sort of ploy? The Ming Family has the longest lineage among these Four Great Aristocratic Families in Nancheng. They started off with the jade and jewelry business, and have always had good rtionships with manyrge families in Nancheng. They help each other out in business, and regrly hold get-togethers. The Ming Familys Jade Shops just signed a contract with the Zhou Familys stores, and there are further cooperation ns for the new year. Public and private interests considered, they didnt want any rumors that the two families dont get along to be spread in public ces. The impact would not be good, especially since it was over a woman like Bai Ruwei? That would simply make peopleugh at them during their leisure time. Zhexi, your father and I just discussed this a couple of days ago. After the Spring festival, we were nning to take you to the Jade Shops to get familiar with the business, and meet the elders of the Zhou Family. Today, by chance, we get to meet them ahead of time. Now that everything has been rified, since its pure misunderstanding, dont lets spoil each others moods over the holiday. Zhexi, apologize to your Uncle Zhou. Huo Zhexi looked at his mother in disbelief, You want me to apologize to him? Mingzhu had already turned to Bai Ruwei, Miss Bai, wont you exin this matter to Zhexi? Bai Ruwei slowly raised her head. Her left cheek was already entirely swollen. Despite the light makeup applied, it couldnt hide the horrific handprint on it. There seemed to be a cut at the corner of her mouth, with dried blood still affixed to it. She was originally quite delicate and attractive, with a gentle and weak temperament. Now, with the terrifying handprint on her face, she looked so pitiful. At this moment, she was biting her lip as if enduring, looking so fragile that it would instantly soften any mans heart. All men have a soft spot for women. Seeing her in this state made Zhexis eyes turn red, Xiaowei, tell me, did he bully you first? Although Huo Juncheng was dissatisfied with his sons girlfriend, seeing a girl beaten up this badly, to be honest, he felt somewhat distressed. All eyes were on her now. After a brief silence, Bai Ruwei finally spoke up.
    Mrs. Huo is right. I was the first one to start. I was wrong. Mr. Zhou, I failed to recognize Mount Tai, please be generous and forgive me this time. Im sorry. After that, she bowed to Zhou Tingzheng, bit her lip, and said, I have things to do, Im leaving first. Before anyone could even react, she had already bolted out. Huo Zhexi immediately chased after her. This time, Mingzhu didnt stop him.
    The more she tried to restrain him, the more rebellious her son would be,pletely acting like an immature adult! ** Xiaowei! Huo Zhexi chased her outside and immediately grabbed Bai Ruweis arm, Xiaowei, let me take you to the hospital. Bai Ruwei furrowed her eyebrows, struggled and brushed his hand off, No need. Ive lost this job, I need to hurry and find a new one. Your face is swollen like this and you still want to find a job? Huo Zhexi found it unbelievable, Are you so desperate for money? Correct! Im short of money! Really short! How else will I survive if I dont find a new job? I dont even know how Im going to afford my expenses for next semester! Ill give you money! I can support you! Bai Ruwei stared at him, a little stunned. Xiaowei, Im serious. Just stay with me in the future, okay? How can we be together? You saw your familys attitude just now. I was the one being bullied by that man, but they still want you to apologize for me, simply because that man is a friend of your parents, your elder, and they dont want to affect their business because of this incident! Bai Ruweiughed bitterly, The gap between us is too big. No matter how hard I try, we are simply not suitable for each other. Mrs. Huo was right, we are not from the same world. What do you mean by that? Huo Zhexi was a bit angry, I have been looking for you these past few days. Are you still insisting on breaking up with me? Cant you at least try a little harder with me?
    Try harder how? Where were you when I needed you just now? I called you so many times, why didnt you answer? I got reprimanded by the manager right here and lost my wages for these few days! Zhexi, do you even have me in your heart? Huo Zhexi exined, My mother took my phone earlier. Really? Bai Ruwei scoffed, Youre in your twenties, why do you let your mother control these small matters? When will you grow up? Huo Zhexi looked a little ufortable. What he hated most was being told hes immature! Not steady enough! Not as good as his two elder brothers! Seeing that he was quiet, Bai Ruwei slightly changed her expression, suddenly switched the topic, When I said we should break up that day, didnt you already agree? Why are you here again? Despite the difort in his heart, Huo Zhexi immediately replied, I never agreed to break up. Ive been messaging you these past few days, havent you seen them? Bai Ruwei bit her lip and didnt say a word. Her delicate face was pitiful and endearing. Looking at Bai Ruwei like this, Huo Zhexi felt a softness in his heart. He took her hand and his voice regained its gentleness, Xiaowei, I just want to hear one thing from you, do you really like me? Bai Ruwei nodded. Huo Zhexi smiled, In that case, I have a n. What do you mean?
    My parents have been wanting a grandchild, as do my grandparents. They want a great-grandchild. Maybe if you got pregnant with my child, they might change their attitudes What nonsense are you talking about? Bai Ruwei abruptly cut him off. Xiaowei, this is our only option. Trust me, if only you Bai Ruwei interrupted again, No! I cant do this. By using such a means to enter the Huo Family, how would I be any different from the gold-digger your mother thinks I am? Alright then. Huo Zhexi agreed too quickly, which startled Bai Ruwei. However, you cant talk about breaking up with me anymore. Since my mother disapproves, lets just date in secret for now, alright? As Huo Zhexi spoke, he couldnt help but hold her small hand. He realized he seemed to have genuinely fallen for Bai Ruwei. Especially after the breakup, the longing was incredibly intense, something he had never experienced with any other woman before. Yet Bai Ruwei felt a chill in her heart. Throughout their time together, she knew that Huo Zhexi didnt really understand love. He was merely infatuated with her for the time being. And the more she pushed him away, the deeper he fell for her. He was clearly still a child who knew not what he did.
    Forcefully, she pulled her hand back, If thats the case, you should go back and stay with your parents. Why? Huo Zhexi didnt understand. If you keep hanging around me like this, your parents will only think that Im bewitching you. They certainly wont agree to us being together. I see. Huo Zhexis eyes lit up, Then you should go to the hospital for a check-up, and youre not allowed to ignore my calls. Alright. Once he received Bai Ruweis agreement, Huo Zhexi finally left feeling reassured. Chapter 575: 575, cant even get through the door Chapter 575: 575, cant even get through the door Bai Ruwei returned to the staff break room, and soon after, the manager and the foreman came over and handed her an envelope, Xiaowei, this is your ten thousand yuan sry. This much? Bai Ruwei was astonished. She had only worked at this restaurant for less than half a month and she received a full ten thousand yuan? The manager said with sarcastic jealousy, This is Madam Huospensation for you. With your behavior of talking back to the guests today, you are fortunate to get a penny! Do you know you shouldpensate? Hurry up, change your clothes, and leave! Bai Ruwei chuckled. Was this amount of money to make her quit because they feared that Huo Zhexi woulde back to her restaurant? She turned and left, as the managers and the foremans discussion followed her. With her shabby quality, she dreams of marrying into the Huo family? Pure delusion.
    What do you know? Just by spreading her legs, she got this much money, its much better than us who work our asses off every day. Well, its easy to make money with your body ** Really, why did you pull me away just now, I still wanted to watch the excitement! In the car, Su Wanwan red at the man who was seriously driving next to her. She was upset that she was pulled away while watching the excitement. She didnt get to watch the excitement during the Mo familys anniversary celebrationst time either. What were you watching? Huo Jingshen nted a nce at her. I saw that Bai Ruwei was beaten so miserably, her face was all swollen, do you think Uncle and Aunt will soften their hearts and let them be together? Huo Jingshen squinted, Mind your own business. This isnt necessarily someone elses business, right? If Bai Ruwei really marries into the Huo family, she will be your sister-inw, and we will all be one family. Lets wait until she marries in. He was only afraid that she couldnt even enter the door. ** Half an hourter, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen arrived at the Su family vi together. Huo Jingshen brought the gifts he brought, and the family was very polite on the surface. Su Xueqin sat in a wheelchair and was pleased to see Su Wanwan back. His mental state was also very good. Su Yunrongs family did note over, those present were Jiang Yis two brothers, who came with their wives and children, both boys, and girls, quite a few people. Since entering the house and learning about Huo Jingshens identity, a few men had been asking him various questions.
    Su Wanwan sat solemnly and politely beside him, listening to mens low voices greeting each other. Even to these not so familiar rtives, he was very skillful, advancing and retreating properly. With courtesy and a touch of politeness. He didnt appear too warm, but he wasnt too aloof either, reflecting good manners as a junior.
    Mr. Huo, I heard you just returned from Y country? Yes. Hows the situation in Europe? Its okay. Im nning to enter the European markettely, do you think its feasible, Mr. Huo? It can be considered. Su Wanwan listened to such conversations and couldnt help but smile. Jiang Yis older brother is a businessman, but he is mediocre. He suffered great losses a few years ago and since then, he has been investing recklessly. He asks everyone about business, has no backbone, yet wants to make a fortune immediately. After sitting for a while, Huo Jingshens phone rang. He stood up, Excuse me, I need to take a call. Sure, sure, Mr. Huo, youre busy. Su Wanwan also stood up, Honey, Im going upstairs to get something. Okay. Wanwan, its still early, you can rest awhile. Your room is cleaned regrly, its very clean. Jiang Yi warmly suggested, Aunt Yang, please take the youngdy back to her room.
    Su Wanwan nced at her. Because of the evening banquet, Jiang Yi was wearing a blue-embroidered Pankou Qipao dress today. Her hairstyle was also exquisite, with delicate and appropriate makeup. At first nce, she looked like a graceful woman in her early thirties with excellentplexion. Thank you, Aunt. Jiang Yis eyes moved, and quickly said with a smile, Dont be so polite, you seldome home, just ask Aunt Yang if you need anything. Okay. Su Wanwan went upstairs with a smile. ** Second floor. Aunt Yang went straight over and pushed open the bedroom door. Miss, I regrly clean your room, you can just tell me if you need to find anything, I can help you find it. Thank you, Aunt Yang, its fine, Im just looking around. Su Wanwan walked in.
    Last time she was home, Su Yanyans hangers and shoe racks were still here, now theyre all gone. The room was spotless, the windows crystal clear. All the bedding had beenpletely renewed. There was even a new wardrobe, a dressing table, even a new couch, all of which were branded, no doubt costing a decent amount of money. Lol. Su Wanwan found this very ironic. When she lived here, unless Su Xueqin had a request, Su Yuntang wouldnt buy her anything. Even wanting to change a small desk could be a struggle. Now she was married, and hadnt been home for months, yet this bedroom had been cleaned so neatly and so many new expensive items had been added. Who was all this show meant for? Su Wanwan walked up to the wardrobe and pulled the door open to take a look. Inside were all her old clothes, which had also been neatened up. Of course, she would never wear these clothes again, however She picked up an old photo album from the shelf, opening it and flipping through a few pages when a mans voice came from the doorway, Wanwan. Su Wanwan turned to look, Who are you?
    Ohe on, you forgot about me so quickly? Jiang Quanyi walked in with a smile, When we were kids, you used to call me Big Cousin, really forgotten, huh? Seeing Su Wanwans puzzled look, he quickly added, Im Jiang Quanyi, remember now? Oh. Su Wanwan nodded, Whats up? Jiang Yis good-for-nothing nephew. He wasnt seen downstairs just now, so she figured he hadnte today. If it was about his appearance, indeed she didnt remember. He had gained a lot of weight and muscle since thest time she saw him, making him bear-like in stature. The reason she remembered him was because shed heard Jiang Yiin about him, his good-for-nothing elder brother and sister-inw, and this good-for-nothing nephew who had once been in a fight and had been through a divorce, with a bad reputation for his private life. Jiang Quanyi spoke, Wanwan, its been years, youve be even more beautiful. I heard you got married, to the Huo Family, really? Yeah. Su Wanwan had no intention of being polite with him and kept looking at the photo album with her head down. But Jiang Quanyi was enthusiastic, It seems youre doing pretty well, Huo treats you well, right? As he asked, his gaze travelled from her head to her toes. With her hair in a bun, her delicate oval face, her eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally beautiful, emanating a radiant glow, her phoenix eyes were particrly captivating. Standing sideways, her near one-meter-seventy height was very apparent. Her graceful figure, delicately exquisite, coupled with her fair and delicate skin. From a mans perspective, she had everything a man would like. A top-grade woman! Jiang Quanyis eyes almost couldnt leave her body. Thest time he saw Su Wanwan was three years ago when she was just a rowdy seventeen-year-old girl who wore heavy makeup every day, making it hard to see what she really looked like. At that time, Jiang Yi had suggested that the two families deepen their ties. Su Yuntang agreed, but Su Xueqin didnt. Truth be told, he was pretty picky back then and had no interest in walleyed and ignorant girls, let alone expect her to be so beautiful and have such a great figure now. Sadly, he heard she got married half a year ago to Huo Familys eldest grandson, and he couldnt do anything about it. Otherwise, this face, this skin, and this figure, they were just perfect, it would be As he looked at Su Wanwan, guessing her thoughts, his gaze grew more wolfish, as if he wanted to swallow her whole! Until there was a sudden cold reproach from a woman behind him. Quanyi, what are you doing! Jiang Quanyi jumped and turned around, Aunt. Jiang Yi red a warning at him and then smiled at Su Wanwan, Wanwan, Huo just finished his call, I came to tell you. Oh. Su Wanwan responded nonchntly, not even raising her head. Jiang Yi didnt mind, pulling Jiang Quanyi along as she left. Aunt, whats the matter? Jiang Yi led him into Su Yanyans room next door, closing the door behind them and she looked at him seriously, Quanyi, what were you doing just now? Aunt, why are you so nervous? I was just catching up with Wanwan. You were staring at her without even blinking, what were you thinking? Jiang Yi stared into his eyes sharply. Chapter 576: 576, no hooking up Three with Four Chapter 576: 576, no hooking up Three with Four Jiang Quanyi felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze. This aunt seems soft and gentle, yet he knew her methods were incredibly cunning. Otherwise, she wouldnt have swept in when Su Yuntang clearly had a girlfriend, and even ended up bing Su Yuntangs wife. Although the Su Family didntpare to those aristocratic families, they had a respectable status in Nancheng. The life of Mrs. Su was quite leisurely, enjoying delicious food and drinks every day, attended by servants and drivers, and hardly ever returning to her parental home. Quanyi. Jiang Yi crossed her arms, Originally, I didnt invite you to todays celebration banquet. But since youvee on your own, let me be clear: the past is the past and the present is the present. Even if you still harbor feelings for Su Wanwan, you must put them away! Shes married to Huo Jingshen, so use your pig brain and think, can you afford to offend the Huo Family? Aunt, isnt that too harsh? What did I do? I didnt do anything! What about offending or not, you mustnt wrongfully use innocent people! using innocent people? Huh, do I need to remind you of your own deplorable actions? Jiang Quanyi continued to smile with no sign of shame, Aunt, your husband just got promoted to be the bureau chief. As his nephew, why cant Ie to share in the happiness? Its a big celebration and I am here to lend some support to the Su family. You should be happy. Dont try and fool me! What exactly is in your mind, you think I dont know? Im warning you, we are not only dining with Su Familys rtives tonight, but also with many colleagues from the bureau and city leaders, all respectable figures in Nancheng! If you dare to cause any trouble, dont me me if I turn ruthless!
    Aunt. Jiang Quanyi tried to please her by holding her arm, Dont be so fierce. I know what to do. Im not a kid anymore, why are you so nervous? As long as you know. Jiang Yis expression softened slightly. By the way, Aunt, you just mentioned that Su Wanwan is married to the Huo Family. What happened, didnt she get engaged to Xing Yuyun? Thinking of this, Jiang Quanyi felt distressed. From Xing Yuyun to Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan didnt just leap three steps aheadshes practically a carp that leapt through the dragons gate! Jiang Yi merely stated, In any case, times have changed. Shes not like the women you can easily control. No amount of sweet talk can win her over. She was always willful and proud, and now she has the backing of the Huo Family. You should weigh it yourself and proceed with caution. Having said that, she turned around and opened the door. Jiang Quanyi stood there, smiling in an ingratiating and pleasing manner, Thank you, Aunt! Jiang Yi paused for a moment, and then quickly continued to walk away. ** Finally, Su Wanwan took a set of photo albums downstairs. When she got downstairs, Jiang Yi said with a smile, Xiaogu and the others have already arrived at the hotel, we should get ready to leave too. We can rest for a bit once we arrive. Dinner starts promptly at seven. Alright, alright. Everyone got up, chatting cordially as they walked towards the exit. As Su Wanwan looked around, she finally realized that, amongst all the young people present, her husband was undoubtedly the most outstanding! Some people just needed to stand there, not saying or doing anything, with distant expressions and gentle charisma, naturally emanating a strong aura from within thatmanded awe and deterred any misbehavior before it could happen. Arm in arm with him, Su Wanwan walked out of the room with a smile on her face. At the garage, just as Su Wanwan was about to open the passenger door, a sweet and sharin female voice suddenly echoed. Sister Wanwan.
    Turning around, Su Wanwan saw Jiang Yixuan, Whats up? This Jiang Yixuan was the youngest daughter of Jiang Yis second brother. She was only two months younger than her, also twenty years old. With a slightly upturned phoenix eyes, her speech was affected and overly dramatic. She had been eyeing Huo Jingshen in the living room earlier. She clearly had ulterior motives!
    Feeling tired, Su Wanwan sighed internally. The problem was that her own husband was just too outstanding. Hell, she hadnt even dealt with Qiao Zixin yet, and now there was another demoness after him!? Jiang Yixuan, oblivious that her intentions had been seen through, walked over with her sister Jiang Yinong, smiling, Sister Wanwan, can my sister Yinong and I hitch a ride with you guys to the hotel? As the older sister, Jiang Yinong seemed much more mature and her gaze quite dignified. Su Wanwan circled her phoenix eyes over the two faces, Just the two of you? Jiang Yixuan nodded immediately, oblivious to any suspicion, Yes. They were rtives after all, Su Wanwan shouldnt be so severe, right? Unexpectedly Sorry, I have a cleanliness obsession. I dont like other women in my husbands car. So, please take a taxi instead. After saying that, she sat directly in the car. As soon as the car door closed. Drive quickly! Huo Jingshen: With no words, he quickly reversed, turned the steering wheel, and quickly drove off.
    As she left, Su Wanwan, peering through the car window, couldnt help but burst outughing when she saw the sisters looking as if theyd just eaten shit. Shed gone toe to toe with Jiang Yi; she obviously wouldnt show any mercy to these skanks from Jiang Yis maternal family! Then, she looked at Huo Jingshen. The chiseled, good-looking features on his side profile were perfect. His jaw was particrly attractive, his back was straight, and his broad shoulders exhibited an upright masculine posture. Even the way he drove was filled with a charm she couldnt quite put into words. Old charmer! An old charmer oozing charm all day long! Huo Jingshen once again: Dont you dare to flirt around when we get to the restaurant, understood? Su Wanwan added. Huo Jingshen shot her a nce, Take note of your cousin at the hotel. Su Wanwanughed, Dont worry, Ill protect you. No sluts will get near you and I wont let any vixens snatch you away. Huo Jingshen: Was that what he was expressing? Huo Jingshen had to remind her again, Do not stay alone with her, keep your phone close, and if anything feels off, call me immediately.
    Understood. She wasnt some naive bunny, if Qiao Zixin dared to pull any tricks, well see who ends up on the worst end! How dreadful! Did you hear that, big sis? That bitch Su Wanwan was so rude! She dared to say were dirty! Jiang Yixuan red at the departing Bentley Mu Shang, her eyes filled with envy. A ten-million-dor luxury car! She had never encountered such a vehicle in person in her life, and she sadly missed a chance to step into it. Why could that peasant girl sit sofortably in there? Seductress! She must have used some underhanded means to climb into Huo Jingshens bed. Why would she unt this to me? She is just an illegitimate daughter! On what grounds does she dare to look down upon us? Other than her face, what else could possibly make her worthy of Huo Jingshen? That wretched girl Thats enough, Yixuan. Jiang Yinong interrupted her, Auntie ising.
    Jiang Yi was already on her way over, Yinong, Yixuan, you guys will take Quanyis car. Alright. Once Jiang Yi had left, Jiang Yixuan started ranting again, Its absolutely shameful! Even though our uncle is the bureau chief, his family only has one car! And just one driver! Its soughable! Jiang Yinong frowned at hearing this. Her sister didnt have a princesss life, but she always dreamt she was a princess. Its so infuriating! ** Today, the Su family had booked a small hall on the second floor of the Huashang Restaurant and arranged nearly ten banquet tables. Additionally, they also booked several rooms on the fifth floor for distinguished guests to rest. As the guests gradually arrived, the hall became more and more lively and bustling with cheer and glimmer. Su Wanwan looked around. It seemed like there was another event happening in the next hall, there were even a lot of reporters with cameras. As soon as Huo Jingshen entered the hall, Qiao Zixins eyes were glued to him. Draped in a standard three-piece ck suit of exquisite texture, with the cor slightly opened, revealing a ck cashmere sweater and an impably white shirt within. His height, nearly reaching 1.9 meters, made him stand out from the crowd. His looks and demeanor made him seem like a man with his own maic field, drawing all her attention. Su Wanwan never left his side, and they were constantly surrounded by people. She stood there, watching them from afar, their alluring couple-like appearance. Their perfect match stole all the limelight! Although it was her uncles celebration banquet, the two of them undeniably became the central figures. Su Yuntang usually felt embarrassed to talk about Su Wanwan, his illegitimate daughter. Most outsiders only knew about his daughter Su Yanyan, who had recently divorced and gone to study in South Korea. With Su Wanwans appearance today, it was simply explosive. Chapter 577: 577, my husband tells me to pay attention to my image outside. Chapter 577: 577, my husband tells me to pay attention to my image outside. When it became known that Su Yuntang had a remarkable eldest daughter named Su Wanwan, who was also married to Huo Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Huo Family, who cared whether she was legitimate or not? Whether it was the rtives of the Su Family, leaders and colleagues at the office, or even some city leaders, everyone took a stand and ttered them. Qiao Zixin had absolutely no chances of getting close to them. However Seeing the triumphant smile on Su Wanwans face, a spark quickly shed in Qiao Zixins eyes. Soon enough, you wont beughing anymore. ** Wanwan, Mr. Ho. About ten minutester, Qiao Zixin finally got a chance to chat with her parents. Huo Jingshen nodded slightly, and also greeted each one of them.
    Su Wanwanughed and said, Cousin, you look so beautiful today. Su Yuntangs celebratory and family dinner, the protagonist was Su Yuntang, but Qiao Zixin wore a red formal dress, with all kinds of jewelry hanging on her body, practically blinding everyone. Earrings, ne, bracelet, sparkled. Did she think this was her own beauty pageant? Wanwan, youre teasing me. Qiao Zixin blushed, and as she spoke, she couldnt help but look at Huo Jingshen. Su Wanwan saw it and couldnt suppress her scorn. She clung to her husbands arm, leaned on him, lifted her face, and said in a coquettish voice, Husband, Im a bit tired, what should I do? She indeed was a bit tired. She had been forcing a smile at the Su Family, and didnt expect more of Su Yuntangs colleagues and leaders here, and she wasughing so much that it hurt her cheeks. Huo Jingshen lowered his head and looked at the young girl leaning on him. His thin lips curved slightly, he put down his ss, Ill take you upstairs to rest. You dont need to, you stay with grandfather, Ill go by myself. Su Wanwan refused. If youre always by my side, how can some people reveal their true intentions? Jiang Yi quickly said, Wanwan, let Aunt Yang take you to the rest room. Okay, thank you Auntie. Su Wanwan sweetly replied. Huo Jingshen looked at the young girl again and frowned slightly. But Jiang Yi was very happy. All along, Su Wanwan had never given her a good face, but today, she was surprisingly amodating, giving her face both at home and now at the venue. She promptly called in the servant, Aunt Yang, please take the youngdy to the designated rest room.
    Yes, madam, she answered. Once the two of them left, Qiao Zixin didnt stay long in the hall and said, Mom, I am going to the restroom. Okay. **
    The rooms were on the fifth floor, Su Yuntang had booked several suites, and from the looks of it, he attached great importance to todays celebration, all the rooms booked were high-end. Miss, I will go downstairs first. Wait a minute, Aunt Yang. Su Wanwan suddenly stopped her, Can you keep an eye on my cousin during dinner? Miss, what do you mean? All the guests here tonight are VIPs. My cousin likes to drink and tends to make a scene when she is drunk She didnt have toplete her sentence for Aunt Yang to understand, Alright, I will keep an eye out. Thank you, Aunt Yang. As she left the room, Aunt Yang could not help but admire in her heart. The gentleman does not like Miss, but the Miss is always considering things for him, fearing that tonights celebration would be ruined, she even noticed the small matter of her cousinsck of control when drunk. Ah, the young miss really is filial. ** Su Wanwanid down on the bed to rest for a while. She had lunch at Jiangnan Restaurant with the Huo family today, then went back to the Su Family, and now is at Huashang apanying Huo Jingshen in his duties. To be honest, she was really exhausted both mentally and physically.
    Just before she fell asleep, there was a knock on the door. Su Wanwan deliberately did not open the door, and then her phone rang. She nced at it, it was indeed Qiao Zixin. She had to answer it. Cousin, whats up? Wanwan, are you in the 505 rest room? Yes. Im outside, could you open the door? Oh. Su Wanwan put down her phone, put on her clothes, got up, and opened the door. Qiao Zixin stood outside, smiling brightly. She was holding two sses of red wine in her hand, and as she entered the room, she handed one of them to Su Wanwan, Wanwan,e, lets have a drink. Su Wanwan looked at the red wine in front of her and smiled, Cousin, my husband doesnt allow me to drink today.
    Qiao Zixin was taken aback, Why? Because I dont handle my alcohol well. My husband said I should be mindful of my image in public, I cant embarrass the Huo Family. Qiao Zixinughed dryly, Having a little shouldnt be a problem, is it? Its Chinese New Year after all. Besides, red wine can beautify yourplexion, its good for women. I remember you used to enjoy drinking, didnt you? One ss wont get you drunk. This damn girl is actually worried about her image? Pretending to be well-behaved? Well, considering there are so many elders from the Su and Jiang families present, of course she would want to be on her best behavior. Otherwise, if she embarrassed the Huo Family, she might even lose her position as the daughter-inw of the Huo Family. Cousin, as you said, that was in the past. Now, I am the daughter-inw of the Huo Family. Every move I make represents the image of the Huo Family. Qiao Zixin: There are so many elders here today. My husband has told me to behave well and receive more red envelopes, and absolutely not let drinking cause any trouble. Qiao Zixin again: Her smile was awkward but still polite. Suddenly, she felt nauseous. The daughter-inw of the Huo Family, huh?
    Every movement represents the image of the Huo Family, huh? Fine. Qiao Zixin lifted the ss of wine to her mouth and took a sip, then said, In that case, I will not force you to drink. Persuading her further would likely be too conspicuous and expose her intentions. Ill go downstairs first and wont bother you resting. Okay. With that, Qiao Zixin turned around and exited with the two sses of red wine. Su Wanwan quietly followed and watched her from behind the door. As expected, Qiao Zixin slipped into a restroom only a few steps down the hallway. Su Wanwan smirked internally. Entering the restroom with a ss of red wine? The fox is showing its tail. She was sure, that ss of wine must have been spiked! Perhaps she put in the aphrodisiac she tried to give her at the clubst time! Daring to drug her for the second time, her nerve is really not small, trying to purposefully cause a scandal on such a grand asion? Su Wanwanughed coldly, determined to go all out, she went straight ahead and waited at the restroom door. Soon, the restroom door opened. Qiao Zixin came out holding two empty wine sses,ing face-to-face with Su Wanwan, who was looking down at her phone. Without exaggerating, the look on her face was that of pure fright, akin to seeing a ghost. Su Wanwan lifted her head, innocently asking her, Cousin, why are you bringing wine sses to the restroom? Her gaze fell on the wine sses. Oh, I had a sudden stomachache. Qiao Zixin recovered quickly, Wanwan, what are you doing here? Su Wanwan gave a sweet smile, A friend was asking me about my internship. Ill give her a call and then head downstairs. Mm, replied Qiao Zixin, Then, Ill go downstairs first. Go ahead. Having said that, Su Wanwan dialed a number and put the phone to her ear, Weiyi, didnt I tell you? Theres no sry for the internship because we havent graduated yet. Mo Weiyi was confused, What are you talking about? No wonder they call you a little princess who lives outside of the real world. Youll know when you have your own internship, silly kid haha. Mo Weiyi continued to be perplexed, What on earth are you talking about? As Qiao Zixin walked away and listened, she finally let out a sigh of relief. This damn girl, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, she almost got scared to death. Fortunately, she didnt reveal any weakness. ** The celebratory feast officially began at seven oclock that night. Su Wanwan sat next to Huo Jingshen, without exaggeration, the dinner was exhausting. One moment an elder was toasting, the next moment a leader was toasting. She hardly had time to eat a few bites, as she was busy offering smiles with a ss of c in hand. She didnt know most of the people, and besides smiling, she didnt have much else to say. After several rounds, her cheeks were sore from straining. But Jiang Yis rtives were exceptionally enthusiastic, and she couldnt fend them off. Every time they toasted, they insisted on drinking double, using all sorts of excuses, making themselves at home. Surprisingly, Huo Jingshen seemed quite amiable today, having had quite a lot of the toasts. Even Su Yuntang was somewhat impressed. He had always held a grudge against this son-inw. Firstly, because of Huo Jingshens status as the eldest grandson of the Huo family, even as an elder, he didnt dare tomand him. Secondly, because Huo Jingshen had previously put one over the Su family, he always felt that this young man was calm and collected on the surface but was actually incredibly pretentious and arrogant! Chapter 578: 578, The Cunning of a Bad Woman Chapter 578: 578, The Cunning of a Bad Woman But Huo Jingshens current behaviour undoubtedly paid full respect to his father-inw. So overall, Su Yuntang was feelingfortable tonight, his face was red, and he kept drinking, the breeze was blowing, and the toasts were continuous. He was simply on cloud nine. Halfway through the banquet, Su Wanwan could no longer hold back, Husband, Im going to the rest room. Do you want me to go with you? Su Wanwan coughed twice, No need, I can go myself. Jiang Yi at the sideughed and said, Wanwan, let Aunt Yang apany you. Huo JingShen didnt forget to remind her, Bring your cellphone with you. Okay. At this moment, Jiang Yis brother and sister-inw came over with wine sses to toast. Su Wanwan stood up and followed Aunt Yang outside. After using the restroom, she said, Aunt Yang, you go back first, Ill go to the terrace for some fresh air.
    Of course, Miss. Not long after Yang Aunt left, Su Wanwan was sitting on the terrace sofa ying with her mobile phone, Qiao Zixin suddenly walked over there, Wanwan, why are you here all alone? Su Wanwan had a thought, her lips curved, and she looked up at her, Cousin, why did youe here? I dont know those people, its no fun. Qiao Zixin came and sat next to her, Wanwan, would you like something to drink? Su Wanwan smiled, so eager, huh? She said, Ask the waiter what they have. Anyway, I cant drink alcohol. Qiao Zixin smiled and stood up, called a waiter over, Do you have any beverages here? The waiter handed over a drink menu, We have various freshly squeezed juices, yogurt, and mineral water. Su Wanwan took it, looked through, and then gave it to Qiao Zixin, Cousin, you decide. Qiao Zixin rifled through it for a while and finally said, Lets have a ss of freshly squeezed orange juice. Wanwan, what would you like to drink? Su Wanwan smiled, Ill have the same as cousin. Qiao Zixin immediately said, Waiter, two sses of freshly squeezed orange juice. Okay, please wait. After the waiter left, Su Wanwan took out her cellphone and started ying a game. After a while, Qiao Zixin also picked up her mobile phone, Why is my cellphone out of battery? Wanwan, Ill go back to the room to charge it. Okay. Su Wanwan silently watched her leaving figure. ** Qiao Zixin went straight to the counter providing drinks, When will the two sses of orange juice I ordered be ready? They will be ready soon, please wait.
    Soon, the waiter came over with a tray, Miss, your freshly squeezed orange juice is here. Would you like me to send them over for you? No need, Ill take them myself. Alright. The waiter left the tray and left.
    Qiao Zixin quickly looked around, and when no one was paying attention, she took out a small medicine bottle and poured the powder into one of the sses. Fortunately, she asked for arge amount of the drug this time. After ensuring that all the powder hadpletely dissolved, at a nce, no trace could be found in the two sses of orange juice, Qiao Zixin put the drugged ss on the left and held up the tray to the terrace. From a distance, she saw Su Wanwan still ying with her cellphone with her head down. Hehe. Still ying while her death is imminent? Wait, soon she would be stark naked, utterly disgraced! Lets see how she could lift her head afterwards! Last time at the club, she was lucky and dodged it, not this time. Even if a trace of the drug is foundter, the Huo family will certainly not tolerate her anymore. The more Qiao Zixin thought about it, the more excited she became, her steps became unstable with excitement. Finally, she reached her and put down the tray, sounding as usual, Wanwan, the drinks are here. Su Wanwan lifted her head, nced at the two sses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the tray, Cousin, why did you bring it here yourself, where is the waiter?
    There are too many people over there, they are too busy, I saw it and just helped to bring it over. Su Wanwan smiled, picked up the juice in front of her, and put it in front of her. Qiao Zixin quickly sat down and picked up the other ss. She was excited to see Su Wanwan lift up the orange juice, about to touch her lips, but Su Wanwan suddenly put the ss back again. Whats wrong? Su Wanwan asked, Cousin, did you find your charger? Huh? Qiao Zixin was startled for a moment, only then remembered that she had just said she was going to look for her charger, quicklyughed and said, Ive let the waiter charge it already. Su Wanwan nodded, picking up the orange juice. Just as she was about to bring it to her lips, she suddenly stopped. Qiao Zixin frowned. Whats the matter with this little brat now? Su Wanwan smiled, asking, Cousin, why didnt you take a straw? A ck line appeared on Qiao Zixins face, I forgot. Then its troublesome for cousin. No straw, Im afraid my lipstick will smudge.
    Qiao Zixin: This brat, so fussy! Does she really think Im her waiter? However, she had no choice. Feeling trapped in this ce for a long time and fearing Huo Jingshen might find her and foil her n, she had to stand up. Anyway, making a trip back and forth would only take less than a minute. Ill go get it. Okay. Su Wanwan watched her turn away, and when the coast was clear, she quickly switched the two sses of juice in front of her. Having done this, she heaved a sigh of relief and drank slowly from the ss in front of her. Soon, Qiao Zixin came back. Perhaps for fear of Su Wanwan making more requests, she also brought a spoon and napkins. Upon returning, she immediately handed the straw to Su Wanwan, Wanwan, heres the straw. Thank you, cousin. Qiao Zixin noticed that Su Wanwan had already sipped on her orange juice and couldnt help but scold her again.
    She sat down, sipping on the orange juice in front of her, while her eyes continually stole nces at Su Wanwan, watching her slowly drink. She almost couldnt contain herughter. It was not easy to suppress her wildly upturned lips. As soon as Su Wanwan finished her orange juice, she finished hers too, stood up and said, Ill go check my phone, the boss said theres a case he wants me to look at. Su Wanwan pretended to ask, Isnt today the second day of the new year? Youre still checkingpany emails? Ah, theres no option. When you work for someone else and they ask you to work, you cannot refuse. Ille back right away. Su Wanwan nodded, watching her happily leave. The smile on her face slowly faded. Shes this happy? Looking at the empty ss in front of her, Su Wanwan couldnt help but smile again. Wanwan, so youre here. Su Wanwan hid her smile and looked up. Its Jiang Quanyi again. His shameless gaze was hardly hidden. Su Wanwan felt annoyed, her face showed it, she got up and left. Wanwan, hey, where are you going? Wanwan, Wanwan! Regardless of how many times Jiang Quanyi called, he was ignored. This cheeky girl, does she need to be so arrogant? If it wasnt for the special asion today, Jiang Quanyi would have taken action long ago. Just let her be proud for a few more days! Jiang Quanyi drained the red wine in his ss, put down the ss, and stepped out as well. Just as he stepped outside, Qiao Zixin suddenly appeared in front of him, Brother Jiang. Jiang Quanyi frowned at her, Miss Qiao, what can I do for you? Qiao Zixin smiled and said, I was thinking of getting a gym membership, I heard Brother Jiang runs a gym? Yes. Jiang Quanyi hit jackpot since he was bored anyway. Todays event was mostly men. Those who brought family were mostly elders. Apart from rtives, there were few young women present. This Qiao Zixin, although not as pure and pretty as Su Wanwan, had proper features and especially a great figure. Her deep V backless red gown was extremely dazzling, enough to make his soul rise and sink. Brother Jiang, are you interested in having a drink together? Qiao Zixin was scheming in her heart as well. Her original n was to have Su Wanwan drink the doctored beverage, figure out the timing, take her to the resting room and find a random male waiter toe in. However, this Jiang Quanyi seemed more suitable than the male waiter. He is Jiang Yis elder nephew, a yboy and divorcee. The reason for his divorce was suspected to be domestic violence. Standing at 1.8 meters, tall, strong and chubby, with muscles all over his body, she was sure he would make Su Wanwan suffer! If people were to find out that Su Wanwan was fooling around with him in the resting room, even though they were not blood rtives, as rtives, this explosive news would be shocking enough. The more Qiao Zixin thought about it, the more excited she became, Brother Jiang, Ive booked a resting room, why dont we go there for a chat? Its more quiet. Jiang Quanyi readily agreed, Sure. He knew that Qiao Zixin had had quite a few boyfriends before. She was already 25 and still unmarried, certainly well-versed in having a good time. Chapter 579: 579, being too smart for your own good, high energy warning! Chapter 579: 579, being too smart for your own good, high energy warning! He knew that Qiao Zixin had dated many boyfriends in the past. She was now twenty-five and still unmarried, so she surely liked to have fun in secret. They were both modern and mature, and some things simply clicked naturally. Qiao Zixin said, Lets go. Jiang Quanyi unapologetically took her hand, Wait a moment, Ill get us two sses of red wine. That wont be necessary. Qiao Zixin, forcing a smile while nauseated, said, I already opened a bottle this afternoon and havent finished it. We can just go straight there. Alright. The two of them went to a nearby lounge. This room was specifically booked by Qiao Zixin when she arrived in the afternoon. It was right next to the small hall on the second floor. The purpose was to have somewhere nearby for the uing adulterous act to take ce. Any sounds would be audible to everyone outside and it would make it convenient for all the journalists attending the event toe and take pictures! When the scandal gets leaked by the journalists, the Huo Family will certainly not tolerate such a daughter-inw. They couldnt bear such a disgrace!
    After entering the lounge, Jiang Quanyi sat down on a sofa while Qiao Zixin went to serve the wine. With her back turned to him, she quickly poured all the remaining narcotic powder in. Without leaving a trace, she tucked the medicine bottle back into her clothes, filled the wine sses and turned around. She nonchntly walked over with the wine sses and handed the drugged one to Jiang Quanyi. Mr. Jiang. Jiang Quanyi waspletely unsuspecting, he clinked his ss with hers and started to drink. Qiao Zixin smiled and asked, How do you find the wine? Hmm, it tastes pretty good. Cheers. Qiao Zixin instantly smiled even more. Cheers. Jiang Quanyi raised his ss, clinked it with hers and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did Qiao Zixin feel relieved. Now, all that was left was to call Su Wanwan in. She immediately stood up, Mr. Jiang, Im going to step out for a moment. Wait a moment. Jiang Quanyi reached out to hold her arm. Qiao Zixins evening dress was sleeveless and his wide, chubby hand against her skin instantly gave her goosebumps. Suppressing her disgust, she asked, What is it? Miss Qiao. Youre leaving just like that? Jiang Quanyi, now able to smell Qiao Zixins strong perfume, felt his heart itch to do something. Qiao Zixin said, I need to step out for a bit, Ill be right back.
    Where are you going? It seemed Jiang Quanyi had decided that she wasnt going anywhere. Qiao Zixin started to panic. She knew Jiang Quanyi was quite lustful, but surely he couldnt be this impatient already? Mr. Jiang, I Qiao Zixin suddenly felt dizzy and had to grab onto a nearby table to prevent herself from copsing.
    Miss Qiao, whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Jiang Quanyi took the opportunity and held her. Qiao Zixin was repulsed by the contact and tried to push him away, but she felt so dizzy she couldnt muster the strength. Her vision grew blurry, wave after wave washing over her. Finally, she bit her lip and forcefully pushed him away after gathering her strength. She turned to leave, but suddenly felt so dizzy that she fell back onto the sofa. Qiao Zixin tightly clenched her fists, trying to remainposed, but all sorts of surreal scenes started flooding her mind, uncontroble. Oh no! Had she identally switched the wine she drugged for Su Wanwan? That seemed impossible but the way she was feeling currently was exactly like she had taken some drug. She couldnt suppress the feeling of unreality in her mind. Jiang Quanyi quickly noticed something was wrong with her. He went over and asked, Miss Qiao, are you alright? Qiao Zixin, sprawled on the couch, looked hazily at him. Jiang Quanyi, who liked to mess around, originally thought that Qiao Zixin purposefully lured him to the lounge because she was interested in him.
    Having been mentally prepared and seeing her looking at him like that, he instantly had an idea and decided not to hold back anymore. Miss Qiao, I didnt expect you to be so decent on the surface, but so wild in private? Judging by your reaction, could it be that youve taken some drugs? I did not expect that Qiao Zixin would dare to take such drugs at an asion like this. However, its a waste not to take advantage when such an opportunity falls into yourp. Although Qiao Zixin is five years older than Su Wanwan, her figure is still excellent. Furthermore, this ce is quite secluded, and the staff is well-trained. They wont interfere unless asked, which wont disturb their fun. As long as half an hour, he could quickly finish it without being discovered by those rtives outside. With that in mind, Jiang Quanyi said, Since you are so active, I will satisfy you. Qiao Zixin felt dizzy and weak, unable to resist. Over the years, she has had many boyfriends, so she is an old hand at this kind of thing. Now, under the influence of the drug, she quickly lost control of herself Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
    Actually, during the New Year, many restaurants in Nancheng are almost full every day, with various family banquets and feasts reserved in advance. Modern people hardly have time and energy to prepare a New Years Eve dinner, especially on the second day of the New Year when rtives have to be received, so most people choose restaurants to solve this problem. But who would have thought that, amidst the hustle and bustle, they suddenly heard strange noisesing from a rest room? Both the waiters and guests came to listen. As people came and went in the corridor, those with thin skins went red and ran away as soon as they understood. The more irritable ones started to onlook and me: Damn it, whos so shameless during the New Year? Doesnt the restaurant care? I brought my father-inw and kids to eat here today! This is really a bad influence! If its not okay, just call the police, this is so shameless! Exactly, even in a public ce they act up, they are not embarrassed at all! **
    At that time, the celebration banquet was still going on in the hall. Im really happy that we can gather here today to celebrate the promotion of Mr. Sus son. We hope that under his leadership, the New Year will be as good as new, achieving more great results! Mr. Chen raised his ss, his face glowing with excitement. After his fiery speech, everyone raised their sses. Su Xueqin whispered to his daughter, Yunrong, where is Zixin? She should be toasting with your brotherter, where did she go? Dad, let me go and hurry her up. Su Yunrong put down her ss, picked up her cell phone and left to find her. At this moment, Jiang Yis sister-inw also asked, Husband, where has Quanyi gone? Jiang Yixuan suddenly said, I saw Big Brother and Cousin going to the rest room behind a while ago. They may be discussing something. Su Wanwans eyes flickered. Jiang Quanyi and Qiao Zixin went to the rest room? If Qiao Zixin indeed slipped a drug into that drink and she didnt drink it, then it must be affecting Qiao Zixin now. With a lecher like Jiang Quanyi, arent they Suddenly there was a noise outside. Su Wanwan looked up to see several people running past the door with cameras. And more than one, one after another. They looked like they had juste across some scooping news and didnt want to miss it. What is going on? Su Xueqin frowned. Su Yuntang also looked unhappy. What kind of day is today? A good celebration banquet, why such noise outside? Qiao Jianye quickly said, Ill go see. He had just got up when Aunt Yang ran into the hall saying, Bad news, bad news! Whats the matter? Su Yuntang was obviously annoyed. Aunt Yang blushed, Mr. Jiang and Miss Qiao they are in What happened to them? Su Xueqin demanded. As the noise outside was getting louder and louder, Jiang Yi had a bad feeling in his heart. Chapter 580: 580, corrupting public morals Chapter 580: 580, corrupting public morals This worthless nephew! Did he suddenly have a rpse, got caught womanizing again? Did something happen? Huo Jingshen stood up, ncing vaguely at Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, innocently curious, Aunt Yang, what exactly happened? Sure enough, Aunt Yang quickly said, Mr. Jiang and Miss Qiao were caught doing that in the lounge by the restaurant staff! There are now so many reporters there, all taking pictures and recording videos, we cant stop them at all! As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Then, Qiao Jianye abruptly stood up and stormed out. The others paused for a moment, then rose to their feet to see what the fuss was about. Just arrived outside, the mor of lively discussion came from ahead: Who are these two people, how can they be so shameless!
    Its simply disgraceful! They are looking for some excitement during the New Year. Holy shit, what is this guy doing? They must be drugged! Quickly, call the police! When they finally squeezed through to the front, the door to the lounge was wide open. Su Yunrong was so shocked when she saw what was going on that she turned pale. Su Wanwan gripped her arm, Auntie, who are they? Is that my cousin? My God! Su Yunrong: Wasnt that Qiao Zixin herself? And the man was none other than Jiang Quanyi. The two of them seemed unaware that they were being watched Clearly, they were drugged. Su Wanwan felt as if her eyes were burning. But the next second, she quickly pulled out her phone and started frantically taking pictures. After all, everyone around was doing the same. Surely its a waste if she didnt take any, maybe these photos could be handy in the future. Just when she had taken a few shots, her phone was snatched away, and then her eyes were covered. Whommm!
    Now her mouth was covered, too. Huo Jingshen was holding her, covering her mouth and her eyes. He didnt let her see, nor let her speak. But he was very serious when he spoke, Grandpa, let the security guards disperse the people here, it isnt good for the Su familys reputation if this gets out.
    Su Xueqin had lived for quite a few years, but this was the first time he was confronted with such a shocking scene. Whats more, his granddaughter was involved. Truly, at that moment his heart stopped beating, and his mind was buzzing. So when he heard what Huo Jingshen said, it was as if he was finally brought back to reality, and he quickly ordered, Yuntang, Jianye, get the security to clear the crowd! Jiang Yi, Yunrong, hurry up and separate those two! Su Yunrongs face was filled with embarrassment and humiliation. Just a second ago, she could hardly believe that the brazen woman before her was her own daughter Qiao Zixin! Absolute shamelessness! She jumped forward strongly, Qiao Zixin, have you no shame! Qiao Zixins pupils were dted, seemingly oblivious to what she was saying. Su Yunrong was furious, raising her hand to p her. The sight was too awkward for anyone to watch. Su Yunrong was desperately trying to pull her daughter away, not until security came she could pull away the wild Jiangquanyi. A childs voice faintly echoed in the background, Mommy, what are they looking at?
    The woman covered her childs eyes and quickly led them away. On the second day of the New Year, the whole family was enjoying a cheerful reunion dinner, only to confront such a dirty situation! Such bad luck! The scene was aplete chaos. Some were taking pictures, some were recording videos, others were arguing The entire lounge was packed to the brim. Finally, Su Yunrong managed to pull her daughter to her side, but they could not control Jiang Quanyi. After all, he was a fitness trainer, robust and strong. Even two security guards couldnt restrain him at once. In the end, Su Yuntang angrily ordered, Knock him out! Any consequences will be on me! Jiang Quanyis parents hid in a corner, not daring to speak out, feeling that they had lost all face. It would have been one matter if their son fooled around with women on regr days, but now, doing such reckless things in public and messing around with the Su Familys niece Its aplete disaster! In the midst of the chaos, someone fetched Qiao Zixins clothes to cover her up, but somehow, a small bottle fell out of the pocket.
    Picking it up, they found some leftover white powder inside, the name on the bottle was even more lurid. One look and you would know what it was for. Su Yunrong felt her facepletely lost because of her daughter. If she had known this would happen, she wouldnt havee to this gathering today. Now she was in trouble. Her daughter had taken drugs and was doing such shameful acts with a man in the lounge. It was not just about losing face, even she as a mother was left with no dignity. Jiang Quanyi was quickly knocked out by the security guards. Although Qiao Zixin didnt faint, she wasnt faring much better, mumbling incoherently. If it werent for Su Yunrong covering her mouth, who knows what unspeakable things she might say. She is utterly shameless! Su Xueqin eximed in anger, What kind of day is this? Is she so desperate for men? Is she so desperate to do this kind of thing in the lounge? Father, Zixin must have been framed, she clearly was drugged! Su Yunrong insisted. Jiang Quanyis mother interjected hastily, The drugs clearly fell out from your daughters clothes! Dont try to shift the me! I suspect your daughter deliberately drugged my son! What do you mean by shifting me? My daughter is pure and has no boyfriend. Your son must have given her the drugs! Dont try to deny it! Deny? Youre falsely using us! I tell you, my son is already married, how could he possibly mess with your daughter. Its your daughter who doesnt behave properly and intentionally drugged my son! Who doesnt know your son is always fooling around with shady women! Hes nothing more than a lecher! A scoundrel!
    Youre ndering! Ill sue you for defamation! You sue me? I am going to sue you first! Hear me now, if your family doesnt give me an exnation, were not done! You shrew Enough! Su Xueqin yelled angrily, What are you arguing for? Youve already made a public disgrace. Are you not ashamed? The situation was getting awkward. Grandfather. Huo Jingshen spoke again, For now, I suggest we first take them to the hospital. These kinds of drugs may harm the body. His words startled everyone awake. Hearing that there could be potential harm to the body, Su Yunrong didnt care about anything else, helped her daughter and left with her husband to take her to the hospital. Jiang Quanyi was also quickly taken away by his parents. Due to this embarrassing situation, the celebration had to be hastily ended. Quickly picking up a phone, one could see on Weibo that the photos and videos had already been posted online by gossipers. During the holidays, the whole nation was on vacation with nothing to do and any piece of news would spread quickly and be discussed like wildfire. Even though Su Yunrong had repeatedly asked everyone present to keep their mouths shut, in the gossip age, the news still spread quickly. This time, Qiao Zixin was utterly ruined! And as the host, the Su Family was affected the most. Su Yuntang was really angry. Today was the celebration for his promotion after taking office. The intention was to invite rtives from both families for a celebration on the second day of Chinese New Year. He didnt expect that his niece would ruin it all. Not only did he lost face, but he also became aughingstock among peers. Not to mention that there were city leaders present today. The videos and photos have already been circted online. In recent years, the country has been serious about fighting pornography. He, as the director of the Broadcasting Bureau, didnt expect to be caught up in this scandal in the forefront! How could he tolerate this? When seeing off the guests, someone patted his shoulder, Director Su, dont think too much about it, this incident was purely idental and has nothing to do with you. Su Yuntang: Someone else said, Director Su, your niece is really outrageous, isnt she? Chapter 581: 581, Trashy Sister suffers from her own actions, scandal exposed Chapter 581: 581, Trashy Sister suffers from her own actions, scandal exposed Yeah, I heard your sister is an associate professor at Nancheng University. How can she have such a shameless daughter? She started a rtionship with her own rtive. Isnt it true that your nephew is already married? This is an affair and infidelity! To let this kind of thing happen at your celebration banquet, this is tant disrespect! Another personughed, It was fortunate that it was discovered early enough, or it might have led to a loss of life. Director Su, have you seen it? Your niece looked truly frightening, so badly injured. I hear Director Sus nephew is a fitness trainer. No wonder. They really went all out! Young people are too audacious! Su Yuntang: This kind of scandal really made him both angry and embarrassed.
    Today, the guests invited are all his colleagues and leaders from the bureau, including his trustworthy people, but naturally also those on the opposing side waiting tough at him. Now it is good, he just took office and such a thing has happened, word of mouth will spread Where can he put his face now? Probably, he will be the butt of the joke in the bureau after this! Jiang Yi said with a look of shame, Its all because of my brother and his wifes overindulgence. They didnt discipline Quanyi strictly, and he actually did something so shameless! She had already warned Jiang Quanyi in advance, but this mindless scumbag, instead of touching Su Wanwan, went after Qiao Zixin! And got caught by so many reporters! Jiang Yi cant possibly speak any good words for him anymore. Who could have known that Su Yuntang would be even more unforgivable, Didnt I tell him not toe? Why did he stille? How are you handling your things? Huh! I I also dont know Jiang Yi was at a loss for words. In the corner, Jiang Yixuan was enjoying the spectacle, Look, sister, women from the Su Family really have no shame. Su Wanwans mother was a bar girl, shes an illegitimate child, and this Qiao Zixin is even worse! She dares to seduce my elder brother to do such things! Thankfully, my sister-inw didnte, or they would have probably started a fight on the spot! Jiang Yinong: * * When Qiao Zixin was taken to the hospital, the drug effect was still spreading, giving everyone a hard time along the way. She was talking nonsense the whole time Su Yunrong blushed all the way after hearing it. At the hospital, she was immediately put on emergency, the doctors scheduled a check-up, and then a stomach wash. After struggling for a long time, Qiao Zixin almost lost her life, but finally sobered up. However, when she opened her eyes, a p was already on its way. You shameless creature, how did I educate you before? How dare you take drugs at your uncles celebration banquet! Are you trying to ruin the face of our Su Family?!
    Qiao Zixin was struck dumb, having no memory of the past few hours, Mom, what are you talking about? Su Yunrong had a knot in her heart the whole way, her whole body shaking with anger. She took out her phone, casually opened a microblog, and found the embarrassing video that was being spread around. She threw it in front of Qiao Zixin, Look, this is the disgraceful thing you just did!
    Looking at the video, Qiao Zixin felt like her head was about to explode, hardly believing her own eyes. The woman in the video This woman? Is that her? When she recognized that the male protagonist of the video was Jiang Quanyi, she immediately understood everything, hurriedly crying out with a sense of grievance, Mom, I was the victim! It was him, he must have drugged me! Youre saying Jiang Quanyi drugged you? Su Yunrong was livid, What exactly happened? Tell me everything! Qiao Zixin tried hard to remember, but found her memory to be somewhat chaotic, I was drinking with him, but I I She nned to enact her scheme on Su Wanwan, and indeed she put the medicated drink in front of her, watching her partake. But why did this happen? Why was she the one who ended up drugged by Jiang Quanyi? What went wrong? If Jiang Quanyi drugged her, then what about Su Wanwan? She drank the medicine too Mom, where is Wanwan?
    At this point, and youre still worried about others? Do you know everyone in Nancheng saw it! You are now Nanchengsughingstock! I am so disappointed in you! Another p on the face jolted Qiao Zixin out of her shback. Youre saying Jiang Quanyi drugged you, but why did we find the remaining medicine in your pocket? The evidence is clear, do you still wish to deny it? Su Yunrongs eyes were red with rage, exasperated, Didnt I warn you before that I dont oppose you dating, but you cannot do disgraceful things? To think to think you dared to get entangled with that man at this kind of event! Everyone knows Su Familys niece and nephew got drugged and messed around at the celebration party, and did such disgraceful things in front of everyone! Youvepletely ruined my reputation as a Nancheng Universitys associate professor! Ive always told you to stop messing around with men, keep away from those things, why wont you listen, why! Are you trying to give me a heart attack during the New Year, huh! .. Qiao Zixins mouth hung open, unable to retort. In her excited state, she had not thought her n through and had carelessly forgotten to throw away the remaining vial of drugs. And truth be told, she did enjoy frequenting nightclubs and bars. She got the medicine from a waiter there. Left with no choice, she sobbed, Mum, I was wrong, Ive never taken this drug before. A friend gave it to me, saying it was a health supplement, how was I to know You are simply foolish! Su Yunrong pped her again, the pain in her palm unbearable but still not enough to quell her fury, Qiao Zixin, is this the result of my years of educating you? How am I supposed to face my brother in the future? You did such a thing at his celebration you are utterly shameless! Mom, I really didnt know, mom. Qiao Zixin, regretful and afraid, was crying uncontrobly. At this point, ying the victim was her only strategy.
    I just had one drink and then I cant remember anything. Qiao Zixin reached out, Im a victim too, I still ache all over. Su Yunrong shut her eyes. So angry that her jaws quivered, she panted, On this matter, I must demand an exnation from the Jiang family. She looked at her daughter, Jiang Quanyi took advantage of you, and so many people saw it, we now can only ask him to divorce and then marry you. On hearing this, Qiao Zixins face paled, Mom, what are you saying? No! I dont want to, I dont like him! That Jiang Quanyi had already been divorced and it was because of domestic violence at that C how could she marry such a man? If she did marry him, one could only imagine her future misery. Moreover, hes a divorcee and if she married him, people could use her of being a homewrecker! Su Yunrong pped her again, Making a spectacle of yourselves like that and not getting married, are you trying to get me ridiculed in the street? Qiao Jianye also advised, Zixin, you need to be more sensible. The situation is like this now, considering your reputation, I think you should just marry him. Dad, I dont want to get married, I dont like him Youve brought this upon yourself, who else can you me! Su Yunrong was both frustrated and irate. At the moment, this was really the best way to minimize the scandal. She quickly said, You just say the drugs were given by Jiang Quanyi, youre the victim, understand?
    Qiao Zixin looked at her mother, her face filled with fear. * * Several dayster, Su Wanwan had learned from Aunt Yang that Su Yunrong had taken Qiao Zixin to Su Familys house the day after the incident and created quite the scene. iming that her daughter was drugged by Jiang Quanyi and vited while in a state of confusion, she insisted he must take responsibility. Jiang Quanyi, of course, did not want to take responsibility. But they didnt know how the families had discussed it to minimize the fallout. In the end, the negotiation concluded with Jiang Quanyi divorcing his current wife due to irreconcble differences and subsequently marrying Qiao Zixin. Chapter 582: 582, clashing outfits is not scary, the one who is ugly will feel embarrassed. Chapter 582: 582, shing outfits is not scary, the one who is ugly will feel embarrassed. Jiang Quanyi is the eldest son of the Jiang family, and has no blood rtionship with Qiao Zixin, yet this makes them even closer. Moreover, to avoid public spection, the divorce was processed particrly quickly, and the wedding date was set hurriedlyjust ten auspicious dayster. It was announced that the two had developed feelings for each other in private for a while, and the incident on the second day of the lunar year was just an ident that urred when their emotions ran deep. Despite the ongoing private discussions, it was, after all, a private affair between the husband and wife. Gradually, the matter was overshadowed by other gossip news. Of course, this was all secondary and no longer Su Wanwans business. In fact, she hadnt done anything, she was only protecting herself. The subsequent incidents were simply caused by two immoral people who wanted to save face. As for Qiao Zixin, she deserved her karmic consequences. Hopefully, she would behave herself after marriage, refrain from having any wicked ideas, and stop ying with fire. However Husband, husband.
    In the evening, Huo Jingshen was handling official business in his study when Su Wanwan suddenly barged in. Husband, husband. What are you doing? Su Wanwan approached him, squatted down and propped her chin with both hands, smiling sweetly and innocently, I want to invite Fu Qi for dinner. Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen felt a sudden throb in his temples. He had a bad premonition. As if intuitively, Su Wanwan immediately said, Dont overthink it, I really just want to invite her for dinner. Her slender fingers patted her little face, and Su Wanwan spoke with an adult tone, After all, you could be considered her brother, and Im her sister-inw. Weve known each other for so long, and shes been living in Nancheng for quite a while. As a sister-inw, I should show her some hospitality, dont you agree? Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, Youre treating? Yes. Huo Jingshen chuckled, Isnt it still my money youre spending? Su Wanwan: Fuck! Why would he look down on her that much?! She stood up, mmed her hand on the table, If you dont agree, Ill invite her by myself. I have New Years money, Im not ying with you anymore! After saying that, she turned around and left. But her hand was pulled back by the man. She turned her head to find Huo Jingshen looking at her helplessly, Did I say I wouldnt agree? Why are you so angry, hmm? Thank you, husband. Su Wanwans expression immediately turned into a cheerful one, Then, lets do it tomorrow night. Im going to choose my clothes and jewelry now.
    Huo Jingshen: Its just a meal, and she needs to pick out clothes and jewelry? What is she up to? *
    * The next afternoon. Second floor bedroom. Fu Qi stood in front of the mirror, looking at the beautiful woman reflected. The simple, white dress she wore had a professional office style, embellished with a small circle of tiny diamonds around the neck. The stic fabric outlined the tender curves of the woman, and her slender legs peeped out from underneath the skirt, making her look pure and elegant. She had just received a call from Huo Jingshen, inviting her out for dinner tonight. Since Huo Nuanyang had returned to X unit, Fu Qi had no further concerns at the moment. She decided that tonight, while Brother Jingshen was treating her to dinner, she would devote herself to him! Thinking about what was about to happen made Fu Qi feel shy, and the corners of her mouth curved into a sweet smile. She turned around to look at the little bun on the sofa. Ziyang, quickly help aunty, do you think this dress looks good? Fu Ziyang lifted his head, looked at her with a serious expression, and said, Its okay. Fu Qi smiled with a hint of shyness in her eyes, Then do you think Brother Jingshen will like it?
    He wont. The smile on Fu Qis face immediately disappeared. She nced at her dress, thinking that the white was indeed a bit monotonous. Ill go change. After saying that, she immediately ran to the wardrobe and grabbed another dress. She quickly went into the bathroom, changed, and came out. This time she wore a pink long dress with a small strapless design, her long ck hairid over her shoulders, giving off a tender girlish vibe. It looked more lively than the previous one. Ziyang, how about this one? Does it look good? Fu Qi asked again. Fu Ziyang again looked at her with a serious expression, Its okay. Fu Qi was also satisfied with it, Will Brother Jingshen like it this time? Most heterosexual men like this kind of pinkish series. She remembered that Su Wanwan also had many pink clothes. Who knew He wont. He wont? Fu Qi asked, feeling depressed, Well, Ill go change again.
    A few minutester, she emerged again in a different outfit. This time she was wearing a red dress. I havent worn this dress since I bought it, Ziyang. Do you think your little aunt looks good in this? The red dress, short-sleeved, knee-length and off-shoulder design, slightly revealing her corbone. She looked enchanting yet slightly sexy, giving her an impression of being several years maturer. Its beautiful. Fu Qi then finally felt relieved. But in the next second. However, Uncle Huo will not like you, little auntie. I advise you to give up this idea. Fu Qi: This damned kid! Herpliment was just a deliberate attempt to crush her spirits, wasnt it? Forget it!
    Fu Qi decided to ignore this little brat. She quickly sat down at her vanity, did her makeup, blow-dried her hair, and chose her jewelry. Finally, she looked at her transformed self in the mirror. At six-thirty in the evening, she heard sounds from downstairs. She immediately stood up, Brother Jingshen is here, Ziyang, hurry up and go downstairs to have dinner with your little auntie. Oh. Fu Ziyang put down his little phone and got up with a frown. Ever since the school break began, little Luoluo seemed to have disappeared. His calls went unanswered, his WeChat messages ignored, and even his voice messages elicited no responses. It was rather concerning. ** Downstairs, Aunt Han had been busy in the kitchen ever since she received the call. Yes. Though Su Wanwan offered to treat them to a meal, Huo Jingshen suggested having dinner at home. He reasoned that Ziyang, being a child, shouldnt eat out too often as its not healthy. Plus, with the big temperature changes between morning and evening, getting in and out of cars, he could easily catch a cold or fever. Su Wanwan didnt give it another thought. After all, her main objective wasnt to have a meal. Uncle Huo, little auntie. As soon as Fu Ziyang came down, he ran over cheerfully and said sweetly, Little auntie, you look gorgeous today. Su Wanwan had applied light makeup for the asion, leaving her frizzled hair scattered, giving her a charming and provocative look. Standing next to the tall and robust Huo Jingshen, they looked like a golden couple. Fu Qi clenched her fingers as she watched them. She thought that only Huo Jingshen wasing to dinner, but unexpectedly Especially when she saw Fu Ziyang running over, the three wereughing and chatting just like a family. This traitor! Su Wanwan rubbed the little guys head, and when she nced at Fu Qi, her eyes briefly scanned the red dress Fu Qi was wearing. She then reached up to take off her down jacket. When the jacket came off, Fu Qis facial expression became awkward to an extreme extent. Because Su Wanwan was also wearing a red dress. Although it was a two-piece design and different from Fu Qis dress, the color was simr, both a vibrant red. A wardrobe sh! An incredibly embarrassing wardrobe sh! Unlike Fu Qi, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, Su Wanwan seemed veryposed and even hooked up a smile on her lips. She had anticipated that Fu Qi would dress up beautifully for the dinner. However, she didnt expect that they would identally have a wardrobe sh. A wardrobe sh isnt scary, its embarrassing for the one who looks less attractive! And obviously, the person to feel embarrassed wasnt her. Just then, Aunt Han came from the kitchen, Sir, dinner is ready. Okay. Sorry, Brother Jingshen. Fu Qi quickly spoke up. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring my phone. Ill go upstairs and get it, it will only take five minutes. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and ran upstairs. Huo Jingshen had just taken off his jacket, and Su Wanwans voice rang out, Husband, what do you think she ran upstairs for? Isnt it to get her phone? Su Wanwan chuckled, I bet she ran upstairs to change her clothes. Huo Jingshen: A few minutester, Fu Qi came downstairs with her phone in hand and sure enough, she had changed her dress to a goose-yellow one. Su Wanwan looked triumphantly at Huo Jingshen. Thetter: * In the open-n dining room. After Huo Jingshen sat down at the head of the table, Su Wanwan sat to his right and Fu Qi sat directly to his left. Ziyang,e sit next to your little auntie. Fu Ziyang gave Fu Qi a nce but went to Su Wanwans side instead. Su Wanwan smiled as she helped the little guy up onto the high seat, her tone affectionate, Ziyang, youve gained weight again, havent you? Eat less, or else your little auntie will soon not be able to hold you. Chapter 583: 583, the face has become round. Chapter 583: 583, the face has be round. Fu Ziyang lifted his small face, a serious expression on it, I havent gained weight. Su Wanwan pinched his chubby cheeks, Still saying you havent, your face has gone round. Fu Ziyang: Fu Qi was rather surprised at the sight. Since birth, Fu Ziyang had been a very cool kid, seldom showing his emotions or speaking much, and had a severe case of cleanliness obsession. Because he was rather adorable, Fu Qi naturally loved her nephew. But every time she tried to hug him, hed show his displeasure. And that wasnt just her. Xiu Xin couldnt get away with it either. Even if it was Fu Xihan, whenever he reached out to touch him, the kid always seemed ufortable. But now, he was being held and his face pinched by Su Wanwan, and he didnt seem to be angry at all? Fu Qi felt her worldview being overturned.
    After restraining herself for a while, she smiled brightly, and started to shift the dish with light soup and greens in front of her, Brother Jingshen likes to eat more vegetables, lets move this dish over. Su Wanwan suddenly blocked her, No need, my husband has recently been enjoying meat. But Fu Qi had already lifted the dish, so she looked at Huo Jingshen, Brother Jingshen? Su Wanwan was also looking at him. Huo Jingshen gave a couple of coughs, Fu Qi, put it down. Fu Qi pouted, having no choice but to put the dish down. Su Wanwan, on the other hand, was delighted. The first round, victory! Sir, would you like red wine or champagne? Aunt Han asked at this point. Before Huo Jingshen could speak, Su Wanwans voice rang out, What does Miss Fu want to drink? Ill have the same as Ziyang. Fu Qi finished, and added somewhat unwillingly, Brother Jingshen likes red wine, lets go with red wine. Su Wanwan turned to look at the man beside her, her smile insincere, Husband, didnt you say that you prefer champagne? Huo Jingshen rubbed his temples. At this point, he would have to admit even if Su Wanwan said he liked to drink in water! Husband? Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes, her tone prolonged, containing an obvious hint of warning! Huo Jingshen had no choice but to give a grunt of acknowledgment, Its up to the wife. Aunt Han then turned to look at Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan lifted her chin, her gaze full of defiance as she looked across the table, Miss Fu, since my husband says its up to me, lets go with champagne. Fu Qi:
    What else could she say? Aunt Han quickly popped open a bottle of champagne, brought it over, and filled their sses. Su Wanwan lifted her ss, took a sip. Good.
    It tasted nice. The second round, another victory! The atmosphere in the dining room finally seemed a bit more normal. Although it was quiet, most of the conversation was between Su Wanwan and Fu Ziyang. Near the end of the meal, Aunt Han brought out a fruit tter. Fu Qi suddenly spoke up, Aunt Han, didnt you know that Brother Jingshen is allergic to mango? Aunt Han was taken aback. She had been responsible for taking care of Fu Ziyang sinceing to the vi. Moreover, Huo Jingshen preferred to cook for himself when he was at home. So she wasnt really aware of any of Huo Jingshens dietary restrictions. She immediately apologized, Im sorry, sir, Ill go and get other fruits right away. No need. Huo Jingshen put the fruit te in front of Fu Ziyang, I dont really eat much fruit. Aunt Han was just about to sigh in relief.
    With a Pfft, Su Wanwan couldnt help butugh, Miss Fu, I didnt know you knew my husband so well, even down to his mango allergy? Hehe. As his wife, even she didnt know that. Finally having scored a point, Fu Qis smile was rather smug, After all, Ive known Brother Jingshen for ten years. Ten years? Hehe. Su Wanwan smiled sweetly, her eyes full of hidden meaning. Finally, dinner was over, she stood up, Miss Fu, youve been in Nancheng for quite some time, as your sister-inw, Ive been wanting to give you a gift, but I didnt know what youd like. Youre too polite, sister-inw, said Fu Qi, in a perfunctory tone. She didnt believe that Su Wanwan could actually bring her any gifts. No offense, Miss Fu, but lets connect on WeChat. I want to show you the picture of the gift, Su Wanwan responded. What kind of gift? Fu Qi asked, looking defensive. What are you so afraid of? My husband is right here. I wouldnt dare eat you, Su Wanwan said jokingly before turning to Huo Jingshen, Husband, did you see how Miss Fu is treating me?
    Huo Jingshen: . Fu Qi immediately took out her phone and said, Go ahead and scan. Hurry up and scan! No time for flirting! Su Wanwanughed as she took her phone and scanned, then added her as a friend. When Fu Qi saw the photos that Su Wanwan sent her, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She felt both shock and shame, and it took her some time before she finally managed to ask, What are you doing sending me these? Su Wanwan was startled and then looked at her phone, Oh, Im sorry. I sent the wrong photos. She seemed to be apologizing, but she was clearly smiling. Fu Qi was not a fool. She was embarrassed and angry. She finally couldnt help but cursed, Youre shameless! How could she secretly look at these kinds of photos every day? The photos Su Wanwan sent were of a man and a woman doing that thing. The background looked like a restaurants private room,plete with sofa, tables, and chairs. And Su Wanwan even sent several photos at once. Fu Qi, who grew up sheltered and never dated, was like a nk te in matters of intimacy. How could she handle such shocking images?
    The impact on her was like a frog in the well suddenly witnessing the outside world. Sorry, I really sent the wrong photos! Su Wanwan apologized with an innocent look. The woman in that photo is my cousin. The man is already married. Fu Qi was taken aback. Su Wanwan continued, So, do you understand? This is what happens when youre the mistress! During a family gathering, they hid in a room doing such shameless things. Someone bumped into them, took photos, and now these photos and videos are all over the inte. Its so embarrassing! She looked at Fu Qis pale face, Miss Fu, you are so young and beautiful. Dont follow my cousins path. Being a mistress never ends well. How would your parents react if someone took photos of you and then disseminated them? After saying this, she took her phone again and sent several more photos. There, this is actually the gift I wanted to give you. Miss Fu, you y the violin. After thinking for a while, I decided to gift you a good violin. But I was afraid you might not like it, so I found several ones and took their photos. You can pick whichever you like, that will be your Spring Festival gift as your sister-inw. After doing all this, Su Wanwan put down her phone and said, Alright, take your time. My husband and I will go home first. Fu Qi sat there, letting the two of them walk away. Because She was frightened and confused. ** As soon as they left the vi gate, Su Wanwan let go of his hand and moved forward on her own. After a few steps, the man caught up with her and pulled her back by her arm, Why are you walking so fast? Su Wanwan bumped into his chest. She simply stopped, reached for Huo Jingshens arm, leaned down, and bit him. Huo Jingshen: . He had wanted to endure it. But then he realized she was really biting him. He winced in pain, raised his other hand to hold her small chin, and said in a low voice filled with warning, Let go. Su Wanwan loosened her grip, her bright eyes full of anger staring at him, How did Fu Qi know that youre allergic to mangoes? Shed been married to him for so long and she had no idea about it! And speaking of allergies, she figured there must have been some kind of reaction on his body. Had Fu Qi seen it? Huo Jingshen looked at his hand. There were clear teeth marks, although the skin wasnt broken and there was no blood. But she had bitten pretty deep. That bitch, how dare she wear the same outfit as me! After saying this, Su Wanwan tugged at the thick fabric of his clothes and stubbornly asked, Tell me, who looks better in red? Who? Huo Jingshens mouth twitched, he pulled her hand back, and held her tightly in his arms, said in a gentle, low voice, Baby, you look the best in red. So, I dont look good in other colors? Su Wanwan challenged purposely. Baby, you look good in any color, Huo Jingshen bent down to add, Of course, you look the best when youre wearing nothing. . Damn it! Hes taking advantage of the situation again! Su Wanwan red at him. Although she felt slightly relieved, she wasnt ready to let him off the hook so easily. She stomped her foot and spat, You bastard, stop buttering me up! How does she know about your mango allergy? Huo Jingshen looked down at the two of them, their breaths intertwining, and his voice was maic and warm, Weve known each other for a while. Its probably Xihan who told her. Chapter 584: 584, Nanchengs First Snow Chapter 584: 584, Nanchengs First Snow Really? Is it not because you had some allergy attack, which made you go naked and called her to take care of you? No. Su Wanwan scoffed, What else are you allergic to? What for? Just tell me everything! I even came to know from another woman that my husband is allergic to mangoes. Do you think thats right? I have just sent her the pictures of that day when my cousin was messing around with a man. I also scared her a bit, indicating that if she dares to target you like my cousin did, her fate would be even more miserable than my cousins! Its better to scare Fu Qi, who is like a littlemb, otherwise, she might get misguided. Huo Jingshen couldnt help squeezing her cheeks. No wonder Fu Qi looked so terrified earlier. Even he, a grown man, found the scene of Qiao Zixin and Jiang Quanyi in the restaurant lounge to be appalling. Not to mention Fu Qi, a little girl who has been living in a greenhouse since childhood.
    But this girl is really clever. Without his help, she effortlessly took down Qiao Zixin. The scandal that erupted might keep the Su and Jiang families busy for a while, preparing for the wedding. Thus, its unlikely they would dare to stir up trouble again in the near future. However Delete those photos, he immediately said. Why? Su Wanwan looked defensive. Keep looking at those dirty things every day? Do you find them entertaining? Su Wanwan said, Though they are dirty, they are useful. If Qiao Zixin tries toe at you again, I can use these photos to threaten her. She still kept those photos of Su Yanyan fooling around with Xing Yuyun. Of course, she didnt need to tell Huo Jingshen about this. Huo Jingshen irritably pinched her cheek once again, but the more he pinched, the harder it was for him to let go Ouch. Su Wanwan pped hisrge hand away, Im going home. Wait, Huo Jingshen suddenly held her small hand. What now? Its snowing. Su Wanwan looked up. It was indeed. The first snowfall in Nancheng. It started on this night of the fifth day of the year. Initially, it was a bit of light snow, then the snowkes gradually became bigger and thicker, falling from the night sky. While Su Wanwan was still stunned, she suddenly heard the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers.
    Someone must be setting off fireworks. The night sky filled up with bright lights, one after the other, illuminating the night sky and the falling snow, reflecting everywhere. It was unbelievably beautiful. The clear snowkes silently fell on them. Extending her hand, she felt the snowkes falling on her fingers, after a while slowly melting, it felt like a beautiful illusion.
    In the depth of the night, there was hardly anyone passing by in the vi garden, everything was quiet, Huo Jingshen hugged her. The road was quiet, the snowkes continued to whirl around freely. Take leave tomorrow afternoon. For what? Su Wanwans voice was a bit coquettish. Feeling a touch in his heart, Huo Jingshen pulled over the hood of her down jacket to prevent the falling snowkes from wetting her hair. He said in a low voice, Celebrate the fourteenth birthday properly tomorrow. Old Gu specifically asked you to be present. I have to go to the TV station tomorrow. Its not good to take a leave, I will go in the evening. You have to get dressed in the afternoon. Oh, it doesnt matter. I dont want to take a leave. Knowing that the leader has a different opinion about her, its not good to always take leaves. Besides, it doesnt really matter to her whether she gets dressed up or not.
    Dont want to take leave? Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, Then let Old Gu give you a leave. What do you mean? Old Gu is your first boss, what do you think? Su Wanwan was astonished, Im just a small intern. But you are his sister-inw. Su Wanwan was even more shocked, Didnt you say hes older than you? Did I ever acknowledge that? Su Wanwan: Is it even okay to be such a rogue? Dont these big families value these family ranks? If not, she wouldnt have been acting so domineering all the time because her husband is the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. After some thought, she asked, What would be a good gift to buy? When it came to gifts, she got slightly worried.
    Ever since she married Huo Jingshen, the hardest part was interacting with his wealthy friends and brothers who endlessly partook in countless gatherings. Whether it be birthday dinners, victory celebrations or charity banquets. As a poor student herself, she had no idea what to give them, and her budget couldnt be more limited. The gift is prepared, your responsibility is only to eat when you get there. Su Wanwans face went grim, Whos your pig when you say Im responsible for eating? Yes, baby is my little piggy. Su Wanwan fumed, Youre the pig, your entire family is full of pigs! Next time you insult people, can you try not to include yourself? Isnt this piggy of yours part of my family? Mrs. Huo? Or should I say Mrs. Piggy? Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth, Then youre the big pig! Big boar! No, youre a big dog! In the end, Su Wanwans mouth got sore from all the cursing. Huo Jingshen chuckled at her huffin g and puffing, Lets head home. Su Wanwan hmphed twice, Carry me!
    Hm? Huo Jingshen quirked a brow. Su Wanwan pointed at the road, Its snowing. What if your wife slips? Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, Alright. After finishing speaking, he really turned around, then bent over, announcing, Get on. Su Wanwan was a little surprised, but She walked over and jumped right onto his back. Huo Jingshen held one of her hands around his neck, then moved his own hand downwards, carrying her by hooking up her knees. Thats how he effortlessly picked her up. Su Wanwan, lying tightly against his strong and towering back, can see his face under the dim streetlights. His handsome face doesnt seem surreal even with the shadow casted by the lights. This unapproachable man who is acting haughty in front of the public, right now, was actually carrying her on his back in the snow, just because she whined a little. Her heart fluttered, Su Wanwan leaned in closer, ttery in her soft, earnest voice, Husband, youre so good to me. His handsome face moved slightly, the mans voice ethereally passionate, As long as you are well-behaved, I will always be good to you. Satisfied, Su Wanwan tightened her embrace around his neck, resting her head on the side, gazing at the snowkes dancing in the sky. For the first time, she felt that getting married was a beautiful thing. * * Over the next few days of the lunar new year, it was mostly about reveling, visiting rtives, and new year gatherings. However, for Mo Weiyi, apart from thevish dinner on New Years Eve at the old house and visiting old Mrs. Xu with his father on the second day of the lunar calendar, most of his time was spent in the hospital taking care of someone. That afternoon. After feeding Xiao Yebai lunch, Mo Weiyi said, I wont being over tonight. What for? Xiao Yebai asked. Mo Weiyi said, Dad asked me to attend a birthday banquet at the Gu Family on his behalf tonight. Seeing he was furrowing his brows, sheughed and said, Dont worry, Rong An will apany me. Xiao Yebai nodded calmly, Come home early tonight. Why, are you worried about me? Xiao Yebai looked at her, Did you not ask for my concern? Not bad at all, keep up the good work. Mo Weiyis sweet smile grew wider. Xiao Yebais eyes moved, and he tried to grab her hand. Do you know what tomorrow is? Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, appearing cold and stately, What day is it? Mo Weiyi: . She immediately frowned, turning around, picking up her bag, Im leaving. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, appearing cold and stately, What day is it? Mo Weiyi: . She immediately frowned, turning around, picking up her bag, Im leaving. Hold on. Mo Weiyi turned around. Her clear feline eyes looked at him, patiently waiting for him to speak. Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, Are you really just leaving like this? Mo Weiyi blinked her feline eyes, If I dont leave, are you going to give me a gift? Thement immediately made her feel like she had asked in vain. Even if he knew what day it was tomorrow, he had to stay hospitalized and receive infusion these past few days so he wouldnt have time to go shopping for a gift. As thought. What kind of gift? Mo Weiyi was irritated, then replied, Tomorrow is Valentines Day. Xiao Yebai: .. Now do you know what you should do? Xiao Yebai mmhmed in response. Chapter 585: 585, CEO Xiao is shy now. Chapter 585: 585, CEO Xiao is shy now. Mo Weiyis mood lightened up. Rest here, and give me a call if anythinges up. Ill be back tomorrow. Go ahead. Mo Weiyi turned and left. After she left, Xiao Yebai picked up a nearby phone and dialed a number. Soon, the call was answered, and Zhong Kais cautious voice came through. Mr. Xiao, happy new year, are you feeling better now? The Mo Group isnt set to reopen until the eighth day of the lunar new year, and Mr. Xiao is still in the hospital. Why on earth did he call now? Mr. Xiao said, Tomorrow is Valentines Day. Zhong Kai immediately understood. I got it Ill pick out a gift for the princess from the jewelry store tomorrow. No need. Xiao Yebai cut him off. Huh? No need? Why? Zhong Kai was confused. Hadnt he always been in charge of buying the princesss gifts in the past?
    What I meant to ask is, what would be a good gift for Valentines Day? Zhong Kai carefully responded, Most women like jewelry, but the princess seems to have plenty of it. For Valentines Day, the typical gift is roses. If you could prepare a special surprise, that would be even better. A special surprise? The thing the princess likes the most is you, Mr. Xiao. You could give her yourself Before he could finish, the call was abruptly ended. Zhong Kai remained on the other end of the phone,ughing so hard that he felt like he was about to injure himself. Could it be that the aloof Mr. Xiao was embarrassed? * * At seven in the evening, inside a seven-star hotel in Nancheng. A birthday banquet was being held here tonight. High society nevercked events like the one happening tonight, showcasing fashion, wealth, and connections. The birthday girl, now turning fourteen, was Gu Haohao. Of course, the organizer of the banquet was the current head of the Gu familyGu Huaian. The invitees were esteemed guests of his generation, close personal friends, and all members of the Gu family. Because of Gu Huaians status and position within the family, and his deep affection for his little sister, all the members of the Gu family had to superficially tter this girl who had suddenly entered their household, despite the fact that she had no blood rtion to them. The banquet tonight was unspeakably extravagant and luxurious. The second-floor banquet hall of the seven-star hotel was dazzling with a variety of decorations. When Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen entered the banquet hall, they also caused quite a stir.
    Tonight, she wore a long, light pink formal dress. Its conservative design revealed only her elegant slender neck and delicate corbone. The perfectly tailored dress entuated her beautiful figure, and she paired it with sky-blue high heels adorned with tiny sparkling diamonds. As she moved, the lights of the chandeliers in the banquet hall reflected off her shoes, creating a dazzling disy. Her seaweed-like curls were gathered into a loose, modest Korean-style bun. Wisps of curled hair naturally draped down the sides of her face, framing her strikingly beautiful oval face. Her pure and elegant demeanor contained a trace of brightness. Her every smile attracted the attention of many people. After the cake is cut, well go home. A voice suddenly whispered into her ear.
    As Su Wanwan was looking for someone, she only nodded her head in response to his words. Until he pinched her palm. Ouch! Su Wanwan instantly red at him. Why did you pinch me? Huo Jingshen looked sideways at her, his handsome brows filled with dissatisfaction. What are you looking at? Im looking for Weiyi. She said she woulde over tonight. Huo Jingshen: Not that oversized baby again. What is that look in your eyes? Huo Jingshens attitude sparked extreme dissatisfaction in Su Wanwan. Shes my best friend. Be respectful to her in the future. She has a husband. Why are you looking for her? Xiao Yebais in the hospital. I just asked; shesing alone tonight. So I need to apany her. Oh? Huo Jingshen reached out to pick up a ss of red wine and took a sip. He spoke casually. Alone? Then who is that man next to her? A ghost? Following his gaze, Su Wanwan looked ahead.
    Indeed, Mo Weiyi was entering the room, and there was indeed a man apanying her. It was Rong An. He was wearing a ck suit and his facial features were icy. He showed no emotion, and looked defensive. His entire being radiated a dont mess with me vibe. He was tall and athletic, his body well-built, with handsome facial features. Though he wasnt as beautiful as Xiao Yebai, and didnt carry the same graceful demeanor as Huo Jingshen, from this nce, he was indeed tall and handsome, not losing out to any of the other men in the room. Mo Weiyi, of course, was dressed in a pink dress that suited her well, brightly colored and beautiful. Su Wanwan immediately said, Wow, I didnt expect Rong An to look so cool when dressed up. She let go of Huo Jingshens arm, Im going to find Weiyi. Just as she was about to move forward, her wrist was grabbed once more, and the man dragged her away. Hey, what are you doing, let go of me, I need to find Weiyi Ignoring her pleadings, Huo Jingshen pulled her along, Come with me to meet Huaian. Su Wanwan red at him angrily. Such a jerk!
    Whats so good about Gu Huaian anyway? On the other side, Mo Weiyi saw Su Wanwan, but instead of following her, she just waved her hand and asked, Rong An, you still havent answered me, what kind of girl do you like? Princess, what are you trying to do? Rong An was somewhat helpless. Mo Weiyi said, Im helping you find a girlfriend! Rong An bluntly refused, I dont need one. Why wouldnt you need one? How old are you this year? Twenty-four? Or twenty-five? I cant quite remember. Apart from Su Wanwan, there were no familiar faces in sight, so Mo Weiyi nned to give her gift, have a bite to eat and leave. She hadnt made any effort dressing up tonight. She did her own makeup and picked out a pink long dress, her semi-long hair was styled in loose waves. Even so, the moment she arrived, she attracted quite a bit of attention. One couldnt tell if it was because of her status as the Mo Familys little princess, or her natural charisma. Even though she tried to keep a low profile, she still drew attention just standing there. Rong An said, Ill be twenty-six after my birthday. Oh. Mo Weiyi was a bit embarrassed, I forgot, youre the same age as Xiaobai.
    Rong An curled his lips and said nothing. Mo Weiyi continued, In fact, you dont always have to stick with me. You can look around, if you find any unmarried girls that youre interested in, just let me know. Ill let my dad arrange something. Arrange what? Rong An looked puzzled. Arrange a blind date for the two of you! Youre already twenty-six, look at Xiaobai and me, weve been married for more than two years. You should really get a move on, you cant just keep dragging your feet. A faint crease appeared on Rong Ans forehead. After a moment, he sternly said, No need. What do you mean? I dont want to get married. Rong An. Mo Weiyi leaned in closer, her long and curled eyshes fluttering like two tiny brushes. Dont tell me you like Dr. Yu? Rong An: But Dr. Yu is a bit old, isnt he? Is he married? Dr. Yu is already married. Rong An kindly reminded her. So you want to be his male mistress? Rong An: What on earth was she talking about? When had he ever said he wanted to be Dr. Yus male mistress? Princess. The man with the stern features looked rather helpless at his familys little princess, Youve read too many novels, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal. Mo Weiyi still had a sly grin on her face, her voice as sweet and innocent as the sound of a small bell. Then tell me, what kind of girl do you like? Rong An fell silent once more. His face was as cold as ice, as if someone owed him arge sum of money and hadnt paid him back yet. Mo Weiyi was a bit disappointed, and she twirled her hair a little, losing interest. Never mind if you wont say it, Ill keep an eye out for you. Rong An: Suddenly, a lively piano melody filled the air. Everyone immediately turned their heads in the direction of the music. Mo Weiyi was no exception. The banquet hall was brightly lit, and there, in the center of the stage, a little girl was sitting on a white grand piano bench, ying a song. She was wearing a soft, pink puffball princess dress, long straight ck hair framing her delicate face with a fairplexion, and the vision of her ying the piano was both adorable and well-behaved. The piece she was ying was a sonatina by Mozart. She yed well. Watching the girl ying the piano, an image appeared in Mo Weiyis mind. Herself, when she was young, wearing a soft, pink princess dress, her innocent face shining brightly under Xu Xians strict piano training every day. Chapter 586: 586, Dumb Geese Rong An Chapter 586: 586, Dumb Geese Rong An She was frequently reprimanded by Xu Xian for herck of talent. using her of being dull and forgetful, Xu Xian oftenpared her unfavorably to Qu Yunyao, who was a year younger but naturally gifted, diligent, and hardworking. Even at such a young age, she knew what it felt like to be rejected. It wasnt until Xiao Yebai joined the Mo Family when she turned 10 that things changed. She became his little shadow, following him wherever he went. She insisted that he apany her in everything she did, even during piano practice. As a result, every time Xu Xian scolded her and made her feel unwanted, she would look at Xiao Yebai. Even though his face was often expressionless with cold eyes, seeing him gave Mo Weiyi a sense offort. It felt as if a rainbow had suddenly entered her world, brightening her heart. As she concluded her performance, a handsome young man approached her with a smile, extending a hand. The little girl rose elegantly. Holding up the skirt of herplex dresses, she politely bowed to the crowd before cing her small hand on Gu Huaians. She then followed the man to the stage where Gu Huaian picked up a microphone and started speaking. Greetings, everyone. Thanks for attending Haohaos birthday party. His voice was deep, warm, and enchanting.
    Though the party was for his younger sister, in reality, most of the guests were there for Gu Huaian. After all, he was young, sessful, unmarried, and wealthy, ranking among the top eligible bachelors in Nancheng. No sooner had he finished speaking than a few women started gossiping behind him. Why is Gu Qi so fond of this mysterious little sister? Hes treating her like royalty. Shes so lucky to have caught Gu Huaians attention. Do you think shes just ying the role of a little sister? What do you mean? Look at her, shes only thirteen but already so pretty. Shell be a knockout when she grows up; perhaps shes being groomed to be his child bride. Shh All the chatter was giving Mo Weiyi a headache. Seeing that dishes were being served, she turned to Rong An and suggested, Rong An, lets go eat. Sure. Miss Mo. A sweet female voice came from one side. Mo Weiyi turned her head to see a young girl she didnt recognize. Who are you? Im Gu Linlin. Dont you remember me, Miss Mo? I just liked one of your posts on WeChat moments yesterday. Mo Weiyi forced augh, Ah, Miss Gu. Indeed, she didnt remember. But given the girls surname, she guessed she must be one of the Gu Familys daughters. Given her age, she suspected Gu Linlin was Gu Huaians niece. Not bad looking either, Gu Linlin had beautifully sculpted features, a sweet smile, and a sexy voice.
    Most notably, her eyes had a certain warmth as she looked at Rong An. Could it be that Just as she expected, Gu Linlin softly asked, Miss Mo, is this gentleman your friend? Mo Weiyi quickly replied with a smile, His name is Rong An. Nice to meet you, Mr. Rong. Gu Linlin promptly extended her fair hand.
    But Rong An didnt move. Mo Weiyi tried to convey her intention with her eyes, but he still didnt react. This blockhead! No tact at all! This young girl was actively trying to greet youan excellent opportunity to shake hands. How could he not cherish such a moment? Gu Linlins hand awkwardly hung in the air for a while. It was evident that she felt embarrassed. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to step in. Sorry about that. Rong An is a bit shy and doesnt talk much. I see. Gu Linlin deftly pulled back her hand under the ruse of fixing her hair. May I ask where Mr. Rong works? Works? Just as Mo Weiyi was about to answer, Rong An spoke up, Im the princesss bodyguard. Mo Weiyi: This fool! Typically, he doesnt speak when he should, and when its not necessary, he talks more than anyone!
    Upon hearing that Rong An was just a bodyguard, Gu Linlins disappointment was obvious, and her smile turned somewhat forced. She initially presumed that anyone apanying Mo Weiyi must be formidable. Rong An certainly looked attractive, though not in a conventionally handsome way, he exuded a strong masculinity. She didnt expect Hes just a mere bodyguard? Just then, another group of guests arrived. Seeing an opportunity, she quickly said, It looks like my friends are here. I wont disturb you two any longer. See youter, Miss Mo, Mr. Rong. Having said that, she quickly picked up her skirt and left. As if they were some kind of ferocious beast in a flood. Mo Weiyi closed his eyes, feeling helpless, Rong An, cant you be more tactful? Look at what youve done, you scared off the youngdy! Rong An said indifferently, I was just telling the truth. Mo Weiyi: Indeed, it was the truth. But was there any need to be so blunt? Actually, as a man, Rong An was indeed very desirable.
    He came to the Mo Family over a decade ago, supposedly a foundling picked up by Uncle Shi from outside, something she was not very clear about. But over the years, he received a great education at the Mo Family. In addition to martial arts, Taekwondo, Capture Techniques, shooting these skills, his academics nevergged behind. He was a top student in the Computer Science Department at Nancheng University. For many years, he was in charge of all the security work in the Mo Family. If he wasnt a bodyguard in Mos house, he would also do well in other jobs. A few years ago when he graduated from college, Uncle Shi asked him if he wanted to leave the Mo Family and venture into the outside world, but he refused at that time. Seeing the shocked expression on Gu Linlins face just now, Mo Weiyi quickly said, Ms. Gu has failed to recognize your value, dont overthink. Rong An gave her a strange look, I wont. Whats the difference between a stranger woman looking up to him or looking down on him? Mo Weiyi thought he was upset, andforting him by patting him on the shoulder, Dont worry, I have a n in mind. I will find you a good woman. Rong An: Nevermind. Little Princess, as long as you are happy. The two were talking here, not aware that all their actions were being observed by a pair of long and cold eyes in the corner.
    The man was dressed in a ck suit, which looked no different from the other mens outfits around him. At first nce, there was nothing too special. He had a darkplexion, and his eyes were gloomy. Especially when Mo Weiyi and Rong An left hand in hand, his slightly gloomy, elongated eyes stared at the figure in red dress, slowly finishing off the red wine in his hand. Mr. Quan. A man who looked like a waiter came up to him. The man called Quan said softly, Proceed with the original n. Mr. Quan, there are many young masters on the scene tonight. Any one of them, as long as they create a scandal with Miss Mo, will make quite a sensation. I think What do you know? The man interrupted with a cold smirk, Two years ago, Mo Weiyi was engaged to Chu Xiuhuang. What does Mr. Quan mean? Miss Mo is cheating on her sick husband with her ex-fianc after the party. Xiao Yebai is nothing more than a stepson trying to get hold of Mo Group. Their marriage is a sham, they each do their own thing behind closed doors, got that? I understand. The man gave a ghostly smile, As long as you understand, go and get it done. Yes. The waiter quickly left. The man picked up the red wine, and slowly poured himself another ss. His cold, thin lips curled into a wicked smile. The game officially begins. Tonight, this is just the first appetizer. * * The banquet hall was a scene of bustling men and women, in groups of three to five. There was a faint smell of wine in the air, mixed with the aroma of food and womens perfume. After presenting the gift to the birthday girl, Mo Weiyi sat down next to Su Wanwan to enjoy the banquet. After a while, Chu Xiuhuang came over, but he was alone. He had delicate features and a long eyebrow connected to his temples. He was surprisingly wearing a ck suit and had a charming smile on his face. Along the way, he was like a bee attracting butterflies. Every few steps, he would be stopped by a woman to chat. Then he would take another few steps, and be stopped by another woman. He was really mboyant! Finally, he arrived. Seeing the empty seat beside Mo Weiyi, he raised an eyebrow with a yful smile, Yo, Little Princess, why are you all alone tonight? Where is your husband, Mr. Xiao? Didnt hee with you? Mo Weiyi didnt bother responding, acting as if she hadnt heard him. Little Princess, why are you ignoring me? Chu Xiuhuang simply sat down next to her, lifted his wine ss, and clinked it against the ss in front of her, Shall we have a drink? Mo Weiyi tilted her face, looking at him coquettishly. With azy smile on her red lips she said, My husband doesnt allow me to drink out, especially with other men. What are you afraid of? I didnt slip anything into your drink. Besides, Chu Xiuhuang said with a suggestive smile, if I want a woman, do I need to drug her? Which woman isnt begging for me to take her? Chapter 587: 587, old curmudgeon Chapter 587: 587, old curmudgeon Pfft! Su Wanwan spewed out her drink. Oh, sister-inw, why are you so fond of drinking milk? Su Wanwan wiped her mouth grumpily, What milk? This is coconut milk! Really? It sure looks like milk to me. While speaking, Chu Xiuhuang gave Huo Jingshen a sinister look. He could guarantee that this old wicked man was doing it on purpose! Intentionally letting the youngdy drink coconut milk! Allowing his imagination to run wild, fulfilling his perverse psychology. His intentions were simply insidious! Huo Jingshen gave him a cold sideways nce, Cant youst a day without causing mischief? Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Big brother, mind your words. There aredies here, can we be civil? Whats all this nonsense about causing mischief? Do I seem like such a person? Huo Jingshen didnt bother entertaining him.
    Mo Weiyi also rolled his eyes, he simply turned around, Wanwan, didnt Huanhuane today? I have no clue. Chu Xiuhuang: He had to bring that up. Before Mo Weiyi could ask any further, Chu Xiuhuang abruptly stood up, Oh, I just spotted a friend. You guys carry on. Everyone: ** After leaving the banquet hall, Chu Xiuhuang headed all the way upstairs. With a swipe of the room card, the door opened. Chu Xiuhuang walked into the suite. He scanned the room with his staring eyes and was very satisfied. The floor was littered with red rose petals, the ceiling was covered with various red and pink balloons, pink ribbons hung next to the multiyered chandelier, and even the originally white sheets and duvet cover were reced with a pink series. Yes. He decided to consummate his rtionship with Little Huanhuan here tonight! Because once it passed midnight, it would be February 14th, Valentines Day in the West, a day of greatmemorative significance. Standing in front of the bed, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly turned around, looking at the man in the mirror. Today he was dressed in a ck suit, extremely formal, handsome, elegant, simply perfect! This outstanding man was going to spend the night with Little Huanhuan tonight. His eyes slightly narrowed, he checked the time, took out his phone and dialed Shi Huans number, Little Huanhuan, when can youe? Mr. Chu, Im already in the car.
    What are you wearing? Huh? I mean, the dress I sent you, did you put it on? Mr. Chu
    Donte if you havent put it on! Chu Xiuhuang hung up the phone right after he spoke. On the other end of the call, Shi Huan waspletely baffled. Thankfully, she had brought the dress along. She wore itst time too, after all. Shi Huan shook her head, and continued driving. ** Halfway through the banquet, Mo Weiyi checked the time and stood up, Wanwan, Im going to head home. So soon? Before Su Wanwan could finish her sentence, Huo Jingshen also speak up, Baby, we should also head home. You have to go to the TV station tomorrow. Alright then. Su Wanwan had already eaten and had her fill of cake, the birthday song was also sung, and there was really not much left to do. She didnt know most of the people present, she might as well go home early and rest. The Gu family was thriving, with many descendants; after going around earlier, she only recognized Gu Huaian and Gu Haohao. With so many people present, their departure would probably go unnoticed. With that, they headed outside. Mo Weiyis phone suddenly rang, she nced at it, I need to go to the restroom, Rong An, wait for me here. Okay.
    Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen directly entered the elevator and left. ** Ladies restroom. Mo Weiyi answered the call, Xiaobai, whats up? Are you home yet? A mans cold voice sounded on the other end. Why the rush? Im heading home now. Hmm. Mo Weiyi held back herughter, Why are you worried? Rong An is here. Come to the hospital early tomorrow. Oh. Mo Weiyi didnt ask for more details. She opened the cubicle door, Do you have anything else to say? There was silence on the other end for a moment, then, No. Then Im hanging up, you get some rest early. Okay.
    After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi quickly finished up in the restroom, then walked out. A woman was standing by the sink, with short, sharp ck hair and wearing a slim-fitted ck suit. If not for her slender figure and alluring curves that clearly belonged to a woman, Mo Weiyi might have mistaken her for a man. She went over. While washing her hands, she couldnt help but nce at the woman. The woman had fairly white skin and her eyes were downcast as she washed her hands. With short hair revealing delicate features. She kind of resembled the androgynously beautiful young stars hitting the screens these days. How could the Gu family have a friend like this? Mo Weiyi recalled that she didnt seem to have seen him at the banquet hall earlier, but It doesnt matter. She diverted her gaze, washed her hands, took out some lipstick to touch up her makeup, ensuring it was wless before she left. Just as she was leaving she heard the faint sound of footsteps behind her. She dismissed it, but suddenly a hand, unmistakably feminine, reached out with a handkerchief.
    Something was pressed over her nose, a strong scent flooding her nostrils. Before Mo Weiyi could even scream, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted. Her body slumped down to be caught by a woman. The woman then dragged her out of the restroom, through the corridor nearby and quickly slipped through a staircase and secret passageway, to an upstairs room. She silently entered after unlocking the door. The bathroom light was on, the sound of running water could be heard. The womanid Mo Weiyi on the bed and began to undress her. However, as soon as she removed her coat and prepared to unbutton her skirt, footstep sounds approaching rapidly echoed outside. The womans brow furrowed. Making a quick decision, she pulled a nket over Mo Weiyi, quickly disappeared out of the French window. Interior of the opulent suite, Mo Weiyiy unconscious on the bed, akin to a lifeless doll. Outside, the night was falling. ** Having waited on the stairs for half an hour, Rong An began to feel something was wrong. He rushed over to the womens restroom. Ady walked out from within. Is there someone else inside? Rong An asked. The mans face was stern, his body muscr, and his gaze fierce. Scared, the woman hastily replied, Yes, there is. Rong An stood there and tried to call Mo Weiyi on her mobile phone. Im sorry, the number you dialed is busy. Busy? Feeling a sense of unease, Rong An continued to wait. 10 minutes passed. Mo Weiyi still hadnte out. A sudden wave of anxiety surged up in Rong An, so he decided to barge into the restroom, shouting loudly, Princess, princess? The restroom echoed with womens screams. After a few seconds, Rong An quickly turned around and left, but not before trying to call Mo Weiyis phone again. Still, the line was busy. Rong An sensed something was off. He had no choice but to call Xiao Yebai, yet Im sorry, but the number youve dialed is switched off. Looking at the time, it was already past nine at night. Xiao Yebai always slept early after his hospitalization; he was probably asleep by now. Left with no other choice, Rong An began to check each room, one by one. Not until he heardmotion up front, he quickly rushed over. ** When Mo Weiyi woke up, everything felt strange. She looked up at the unfamiliar white ceiling. A hanging chandelier shimmered with cascading lights, and multiple ribbons of red and pink hanged around. Various pink and red helium balloons filled the room. A powerful and strange smell permeated the air. Something was wrong! Her heart missed a beat as Mo Weiyi quickly sat up and lifted the covers. Relieved to find herself still in her evening dress and feeling no abnormalities, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank heavens, nothing irreversible had happened. But where was she? The sound of running water suddenly broke the silence. Mo Weiyi nced to the side, towards the sound. Arge, muscr figure could be seen through the frosted ss of the tightly shut bathroom door. Coupled with the sound of the water, the scene was eerie. Anxiously looking around, Mo Weiyi confirmed the room was prearranged with countless roses and sprinklings of pink everywhere. Factoring in the unknown man in the bathroom, Mo Weiyi knew something was terribly wrong. Having been married for two years and having been intimate countless times, Mo Weiyi knew from her body response that no such thing had happened. She pulled back the covers and hurriedly got out of bed, slipped into her shoes and grabbed her coat. She reached for her purse to call Rong An, but realized her phone was gone. A series of disjointed thoughts scrambled in her mind. Had she been kidnapped? Was her abductor in the shower right now? She had to run away, fast! Chapter 588: 588, Love Potion Fairy Chapter 588: 588, Love Potion Fairy I cant wait for this man toe out! But when she pulled open the room door, a sudden burst of footsteps echoed through the corridor. Apanied by the kachak kachak sound of shlights, numerous cameras and microphones were thrust at her. Journalists, both men and women, rushed over, firing questions at her from all sides: Miss Mo, we heard youre having a ndestine affair with Mr. Chu in here? Is the man in the room Mr. Chu? Miss Mo, how long have you been keeping this illicit rtionship with Chu junior? Does Mr. Xiao know about your improper rtionship with Chu junior? Is your marriage to Mr. Xiao liberally open? Mo Weiyi waspletely bbergasted. Before she could react, the door was pushed open by the journalists flooding in like a torrent, filling the entire suite. They hoisted their cameras, shooting vigorously in every corner of the room.
    Mo Weiyi was stunned. What on earth are you guys shooting? A journalist dashed to the bedside, pulled off the sheet then ran to open the bedside table drawer, eventually pulling out a box. It was as if he had just discovered a new world, he held it aloft and eximed, Miss Mo, havent you had time to unwrap this? Mo Weiyis face stiffened. What was that thing? Why would that be in the room? Other journalists immediately started shooting furiously at an unknown brand of contraceptive. They showed zeal and excitement akin to a group of earthlings seeing a UFO for the first time. Soon, another journalist picked up a bottle of perfume from the bedside table, Love Potion Fairy, its Love Potion Fairy! Miss Mo, did Mr. Chu prepare this for you? What do you mean? Miss Mo, lets not pretend. A female journalist screeched, This is known as an aphrodisiac, its most effective on women! Mo Weiyi: .. What Love Potion Fairy? What the hell is this! Princess! Rong An suddenly rushed in. Mo Weiyi hurriedly called out, Rong An, quickly get these people out of here! Rong An walked over, and began to hustle the journalists out of the room. He was tall and burly, moving roughly. The female journalists screamed, male journalists cursed and muttered. Chaos reigned in the room when suddenly the sound of a door opening echoed.
    The bathroom door was opened. Seeing the man that emerged out grandly from the bathroom, Mo Weiyi couldnt believe her own eyes. Chu Xiuhuang! It was actually Chu Xiuhuang!
    He was only wrapped in a towel, his short ck hair exuded steam, water droplets followed along his chin, corbone, muscr chest, sexy waistlineuntil it disappeared under the towel at his lower abdomen. Even though so many people were looking, he showed no sign of avoiding or hiding, while casually drying his hair with a white towel, he quipped, Little Princess, did you bring these journalists here? The journalists suspicions were confirmed and they rushed forward to interrogate: Mr. Chu, are you meeting Miss Mo in private here? Mr. Chu, you have been frequently changing girlfriends over the years, is it because you like Miss Mo? Miss Mo, you and Mr. Chu are having so much fun behind the scenes, does Mr. Xiao know about it? Today is Miss Gus birthday banquet, and you two are messing around upstairs, arent you ashamed? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened. Damn it. He had just finished taking a bath when he heard themotion outside. He initially thought that Little Princess had brought trouble on purpose, but he didnt expect His sharp eyes darted at the journalist, interrupting directly, Who the fuck are you saying is messing around? The journalist was so scared he couldnt speak. And you. Chu Xiuhuang turned his gaze to another female journalist, iming Ive been frequently changing girlfriends? Youre fucking ndering me!
    The female journalist was wronged, Mr. Chu, your notorious romantic history is known to everyone on Earth, where did I Fuck! Chu Xiuhuang almost kicked her, Have the guts to repeat that shit about me! Say it! The female journalist: .. Who would dare to speak again? Obviously, she didnt have the guts, she was already pale with fright. Chu Xiuhuang: Smearing my reputation? Be careful I dont sue you for defamation! See you in court! The female reporter was speechless again: They had never seen a person like Chu Xiuhuang. He was so romantic, surrounded by gossip news every day, and he still had the audacity to use them, the journalists, of nder! Being a journalist these days is really not easy. Telling the truth could also put them into danger! Also, Chu Xiuhuang gave Mo Weiyi a nce, saying Im messing around with the Little Princess? Is it because the sun in Nancheng is too dazzling? Do you not want to see tomorrows sunrise? I have a girlfriend, shes on her way here. What he seemed to be implying was: I have a woman too, okay! Mr. Chu, does your girlfriend know about your secret affairs? A reporter asked immediately. Hence, everyone started to ask questions again:
    Exactly, Mr. Chu, werent you and Miss Mo engaged before? Are there still lingering feelings? Does Mr. Xiao know about your rtionship? Mr. Xiao isnt here today, does this mean he approves of your rtionship? Your girlfriend.. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly shouted, My girlfriend is here! The reporters were taken aback. They turned around and indeed saw a young and beautiful woman standing at the entrance. She was wearing a light yellow evening gown, with small diamonds on the hem sparkling under the lights,plemented by a diamond ne around her neck. She looked both luxurious and opulent. Her ck hair was done up into a bun, revealing her entire delicate heart-shaped face. Her forehead was full, her almond eyes expressive, her red lips enticing; her makeup was delicate but just right, she was beautiful butshe seemed rather unfamiliar. The cameras aimed at her. Shi Huan clenched her fists after facing this scene. As soon as she arrived at the hotel, she was taken to get styled up by people sent by Chu Xiuhuang. After being worked on for so long, they told her that Chu Xiuhuang was waiting for her in his room upstairs.
    Finally arriving here, how can there be so many reporters? The room surrounded by everyone wielding cameras and microphones. Then she saw that Mo Weiyi was also in the room and Chu Xiuhuang was only wearing a bath towel. The room was decorated like a sensual hotel. Shi Huan was an intelligent person and immediately understood the situation. Chu Xiuhuang and Miss Mo were once engaged two years ago, if their secret meeting were now exposed by these reporters, the consequences would be unimaginable. One was her boss. The other was the angel that had helped her before. Even with such disorganized personal lives, she had to help them. A few secondster, Shi Huan had thought of countless thoughts. Then she smiled and walked in, Whats going on? Upon reaching him, Chu Xiuhuang immediately put his arm around her shoulders, See, this is my girlfriend. Do you have anything else to ask? The reporters were surprised. Because none of them recognized Shi Huan. Until now, Shi Huan had always appeared as Chu Xiuhuangs secretary in public, and unless secretaries have very distinct looks, they usually remained unnoticed. Especially now, Shi Huan had taken off her signature ck-rimmed sses, got a makeover, with makeup applied, and was wearing a million-dor evening gown studded with tiny diamonds. The reporters just assumed she was an unknown little starlet or the daughter from a wealthy family. Though Shi Huan was smiling, she couldnt help but sneer inside. Without a shirt on and covered in only a bath towel, Chu Xiuhuang brazenly hung his arm over her shoulder in a cozy and ambiguous way. She could feel his intoxicating scent enveloping her, mixed with the faint smell of shower gel. Really? Cant he be a bit more discreet? Must he arrange private appointments at his friends birthday banquet? And then he got caught, didnt he? However, as his gold-rated secretary, her five years of work experience had trained her to remain calm andposed, even when facing a major situation. She smiled graciously, even though the man was hanging onto her, even though all the camera shes and sounds filled the room. Then a reporter mustered the courage to ask, May I ask, Mr. Chu, whats your girlfriends name? Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to know my girlfriends name? Reporter: The next second. My girlfriends name is Little Huanhuan, Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows and said cheesy. The reporter was dumbfounded and put the microphone right in front of Shi Huan, So, Miss Huan, are you really Mr. Chus girlfriend? Shi Huan nodded without hesitation, Yes. Hearing that, Chu Xiuhuangughed even more joyfully. His fingers tightened around Shi Huans shoulder, looking inseparable! Chapter 589: 589, it takes two to tango Chapter 589: 589, it takes two to tango Shi Huan was just barely able to keep a smile on her face. While the dress she was wearing was somewhat conservative, her shoulders were exposed. Where his hand held her, their bare skin tightly pressed together, making heat spread and goosebumps rise all over her body. Another reporter asked, Miss Huan, how long have you known Mr. Chu? Shi Huan tilted her head as if pondering, Seven She only said half of it when a reporter immediately said, So youve known each other for seven months? Shi Huans smile was polite and appropriate. Mo Weiyi by her side was also finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully Shi Huan arrived on time, otherwise, she almost messed up just now. It was her first time dealing with this kind of situation. Based on the fact that she had been seening out of Chu Xiuhuangs room and he was still undressed, who would believe they hadnt done anything?
    Once this kind of news gets out, people will definitely assume there was an inappropriate rtionship between the two. Mo Weiyi gave Shi Huan a grateful smile, ready to leave, but just then a female reporter blocked her way, Miss Mo, do you know Miss Huan as well? Mo Weiyi was taken aback and nodded on reflex. In that case, Miss Huan, do you know about what just happened between Miss Mo and Mr. Chu? Shi Huan looked at the female reporter, What happened? The female reporter spoke distinctly, Just now Mr. Chu and Miss Mo were in a hotel room here, and Mr. Chu has even taken a shower. They must have already done something. What nonsense are you spouting? Mo Weiyis face stiffened, Hasnt the bed been checked? Even the condom wrapper wasnt opened, be careful what you say, or Ill sue you for defamation! Rong An immediately stepped in front of her. His face was gloomy and his fists tightly clenched. As if he was ready to retaliate at her words. Chu Xiuhuang also spoke coldly, A woman, yet your mouth is so dirty? Tell me, which media agency are you with? The female reporter seemed unafraid and dered, Im from Huanyu Media. Huanyu Media? Chu Xiuhuangsugh became even more dismissive, I see, so old Gu has such capable employees? Not afraid of death, are you? The female reporters face stiffened a bit, but she still bravely said, Mr. Chu, as news reporters, we always seek the truth. The fact that you had a rendezvous here with Miss Mo is the truth. Many photographers just saw Miss Mo running out of your room, dont you want to deny it? Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, Threatening me? I wouldnt dare, who would dare threaten Mr. Chu? If you feel ufortable, none of the news pieces from today will be published. The female reporters words made it clear that Chu Xiuhuangs reaction confirmed his and Mo Weiyis date. If Chu Xiuhuang really uses his connections to suppress this news, it would prove that he has a guilty conscience. Mo Weiyis face tightened.
    She knew the media likes to exaggerate, especially entertainment reporters. But she never thought that something like this would happen to her. If she had known, she would have let Rong An stick with her. She herself didnt care about these rumors, but if the news really broke out, it might affect Xiao Yebai and the Mo Family.
    Miss Mo, are you nervous now? The female reporter questioned forcefully. Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers and let out a coldugh, I have already said that Mr. Chu and I did nothing. You all misunderstood. Then why did youe out of Mr. Chus room? I suddenly fainted in the restroom and woke up here. So, Miss Mo, youre implying that Mr. Chu knocked you out and brought you here? So, you two surely have done something? When this sentence was said, the reporters on the scene seemed even more excited. Miss Mo, is that to say, you too, are a victim? Mr. Chu, how would you exin this? We initially thought that Mr. Chu and Miss Mo were in love, but now it seems that is not the case? Miss Huan, what is your opinion on this matter? Theres a Love Potion Fairy in the room, so Mr. Chu, did you really intend to drug Miss Mo? Not just the Love Potion Fairy, there are even condoms! Of course, there were different opinions as well.
    We heard that people in high society know how to have fun. Miss Mo, isnt it a bit unfair to me everything on Mr. Chu? True, it takes two to tango. Everyone knows you two were once engaged, and theres still lingering affection! The reporters various questions came one after another, and the ce started to lose control as everyone had a different version of the story, each one more exaggerated than thest. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face turned ck as pitch. This little princess, could you please not be so stupid? Answering every question the reporters throw at you? Do you think this is a school ss where youre answering questions from the teacher? Now youre caught in their trap, arent you? In fact, this kind of gossip news, to him, doesnt matter at all. After all, theres never been a shortage of such news about him over the years. In the past couple of years, because of the old mans matchmaking arrangements and his tussle with Shi Huan, the news had dropped drastically. Now, if it suddenly erupted that he and Mo Weiyi had an affair He could well imagine, tomorrows headlines were certain to be dominated by this news.
    Looking at Mo Weiyis pale face, Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, just about to speak Everyone, could you please listen to me for a moment, Shi Huans voice suddenly rang out. All the reporters immediately turned their attention to her Chu Xiuhuangs current girlfriend. But the attention they paid wasplex, mostly sympathetic, with a hint of contempt. This Miss Huanhuan is pretty, theres no need for her to be with a man as infamous as Chu Xiuhuang, right? If its for the money, Chu Xiuhuang is messing around with Mo Weiyi like this, its like putting a green hat on her, can she put up with this? With everyones attention on her, Shi Huan spoke calmly, Actually, today, my boyfriend did indeed arrange to meet Miss Mo here. However, they just had some matters to discuss. The female reporter was the first to express doubt, A man and a woman, getting a room to talk? Who would believe that? Exactly, and they even prepared so many roses and balloons in the room. Theres even a condom on the bedside table! Its clearly a well-prepared rendezvous! How does Love Potion Fairy exin this?
    They keep saying its to discuss matters, can you tell us what matters? Shi Huan smiled and spoke again, This suite, its for She corrected herself, Its prepared by Axui for me. Axui? Hearing this name, Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrow raised slightly. All this time, people have called him Ahuang, Xiuhuang, Young Master Chu, Sir Chu, Big Brother Chu, CEO Chu. This is the first time that he heard someone call him Axui. Well. Truth be told, it actually sounds quite nice. Especially when it came from Shi Huas mouth, the originally aloof voice, saying the word Axui, inexplicably carried a touch of affection. Decided! From now on she will call him Axui! On the other side, the reporters were still aggressively questioning her. Prepared for you? Miss Huanhuan, theres no need to swallow your pride to this extent to get into the Chu family, right? Exactly, everyone knows that the Chu family is a renowned aristocratic family. Without a substantial family background, who could easily marry into the Chu family? Young Master Chu has had so many girlfriends over the years, they could form a line all the way to the sixth ring of Nancheng, does Miss Huanhuan really think she can get into the Chu family? Shi Huan kept her smile, Whether I can enter the Chu family is not within the scope of todays discussion, is it? Chu Xiuhuang remained silent all along, just holding her. Sometimes he would raise an eyebrow, sometimes he would hook his thin lips. This situation arose because of him, and yet he seemed like a bystander. There was a rxed satisfaction in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the drama. In fact, he was indeed quite pleased. Shi Huan had been his secretary for five years, and to be honest, she had made significant progress. From the earliest days, when she could be reduced to tears by the idle chatter of her colleagues, to now, being Nanchengs top-ranked secretary. Over these five years, the efforts she had put in were not just about working hard at her job. In fact, Shi Huan had received countless professional academic and practical training sessions in private over these years. If you said that initially, he let her start the business with him purely to help the Shi family, thenter on, Chu Xiuhuang really had grown ustomed to her assistance at work. Meanwhile, the reporters seemed to be a bit taken aback. They suddenly realized that Chus current girlfriend seemed a bit different from the previous ones. They thought she was just a pretty but brainless vase, but it turned out she spoke clearly, acted gracefully, had a respectful attitude, and her defenses were well reasoned. Chapter 590: 590, when the secretarys actions stirred up thousands of troubles. Chapter 590: 590, when the secretarys actions stirred up thousands of troubles. Even in the face of so many reporters, her boyfriend and his ex-fiance were embroiled in a scandal, and yet she could remain so calm and collected. Iparable! Shi Huan continued, If you dont believe that this suite is a manifestation of Axuis affection for me, thats okay too. But what I want to rify is that Axui truly has nothing to do with Miss Mo, because She smiled faintly, enunciating every word, Axui is currently unable to engage in certain physical activities. How could a man who is physically incapacitated engage in any activity with Miss Mo here? This statement created waves of shock among the crowd! The reporters were all startled! Mo Weiyi also widened her eyes in surprise. Even Chu Xiuhuang himself his facial muscles twitched uncontrobly, making it almost impossible for him to control his expression. If he didnt have exceptional self-control, he would have snapped. However, this secretary of his, well, she certainly reacted quickly and calmly, and was smart enough to defuse the situation with this argument.
    After their initial surprise, the reporters immediately started asking questions: Is young master Chu really incapacitated? Is this true? Who can confirm this? Weve never heard of this before! But it seems true, young master Chu has not been involved in any scandal recently. If this is the case, Miss Huan, why are you still with young master Chu? Shi Huan calmly responded, I like his integrity, his loyalty to his friends, just like Miss Mo. Mo Weiyi: Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Huan exined, Miss Mo was once engaged to young master Chu two years ago. However, she was still very young then and didnt know what real love was. As everyone knows, Miss Mos current husband is Xiao Yebai, the president of Mo Group. Their love is a model for high society. Miss Mo has found her true love and young master Chu, as a friend, has always been genuinely happy for her. Over the past two years, he has treated Miss Mo as if she were his own sister, even introducing her to Lu Chenyu for her internship. They were here today to discuss this matter. Mo Weiyi was somewhat taken aback. Sister? This shameless yboy, Chu Xiuhuang, considered her his sister? She obviously didnt believe it. Who says those sorts of things to their sister? But at this moment Shi Huans words provided a good exnation for her presence in Chu Xiuhuangs room that night. She is studying to be awyer, Lu Chenyu is the topwyer in Nancheng, and also a good friend of Chu Xiuhuang, it all made sense. And the reporters at the scene seemed to believe it too. They stopped asking questions and started whispering amongst themselves. Until the reporter who started the scandal suddenly asked, Miss Huan, merely on your word, we are epting that Chu Xiuhuang is physically impaired and incapable of certain things, but its hard to convince everyone about this, isnt it?
    Fearing Shi Huan will quickly find a way out, she immediately said, If you say you will produce a diagnostic report from the hospital tomorrow, then I will have nothing to say. After all, it would be a piece of cake for young master Chu to influence any hospital in Nancheng within a short period. Because of these words, the atmosphere at the scene took an abrupt turn again. The reporters who were previously on the fence now turned against her. That makes sense! I also think its impossible for young master Chu to have ED.
    Is she lying? How can she prove it? Mo Weiyi: That female reporter was doing it on purpose, right? She was so aggressive, quickly pointing out the ws in the argument. It was clear that she had nned this in order to affirm that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang were having an affair! Mo Weiyi suddenly regretted attending this birthday banquet tonight. It was clear from the beginning that there were traps set in ce waiting for her to fall into. Otherwise, why would she have passed out unexpectedly while going to the restroom? And this person must have known about her past with Chu Xiuhuang, or why else would she end up in Chu Xiuhuangs room and not another mans? Mo Weiyi felt panic creeping up in her heart. Youre overthinking it. Shi Huan suddenly picked up her phone, Axui wouldnt use his own health or reputation as a joke. She smiled calmly, as if she expected the reporters to question her. She said, If you really want proof, theres no need to wait till tomorrow. I can show you now.
    After swiftly operating her phone, Shi Huan turned the screen towards the crowd, Everyone, please take a look at this diagnosis. It was issued by Nangong Hospital in early December. Everyone turned to look. Indeed. It was truly a diagnosis from Nangong Hospitals urology department. One nce at the bill, the date, even the doctors name everything matched perfectly. Shi Huans soft, beautiful almond eyes slowly scanned the faces of the journalists, saying, This diagnosis was written a month ago. At that time, Axui suddenly felt unwell, and I personally apanied him to the hospital for a check-up. Tell me, do I have the power of foresight, knowing a month in advance that Axui and Miss Mo would end up in such a situation today? That they happened toe to the party together, that they happened to be in the same room, and that they happened to be caught in the act by all of you journalists? The room was silent. The journalists were at a loss for words. Because the probability of all these coincidences happening is incredibly low! As for foresight that was absurd! Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained serious, If there are still any doubts, I can call Axuis doctor right now to verify. Without waiting for anyone to respond, she immediately dialed Nangong Chus number, and set it to speaker. The room fell silent, all that could be heard were the dial tones.
    Soon after, the call was answered, a womans voice rang out, Hello? Doctor Nangong, Shi Huan interrupted her, I want to ask you, when will Axui finally recover? Her tone was a tad severe, just like a girlfriend worrying about her boyfriends condition, questioning the doctor. There was a moment of silence on the line, and then Nangong Chu started, Given Mr. Chus condition, Id suggest keeping it under close observation. On one hand, he suffered a severe impact that caused damage to his local soft tissues and symptoms such as swelling, hemorrhaging, and difort, impacting his normal BQ function. On the other hand, it may also be rted to psychological factors. Despite a period of treatment, the condition did not improve, affecting his mood. Under these circumstances, it is imperative to avoid rushing Nangong Chu rattled off a string of professional medical terms. She did it to sound proficient and convince Shi Huan, but she had no idea her words were being heard by all the journalists. Her tone was clear and immature, clearly a woman, but delivering shocking words. Female journalists with thin skin blushed with embarrassment, while some of the male journalists started coughing ufortably. The scene was incredibly awkward. But there was no denying the doctors professionalism. And Shi Huans call was on speaker from beginning to end, without any signs of deceit. Finally, Nangong Chu finished. Shi Huan smiled gently, Alright, thank you, Dr. Nangong. After finishing, she respectfully added, At thiste hour, I wont disturb your rest anymore. Goodnight.
    ** In Nangong Familys bedroom, Nangong Chu put down her phone, confused. This Secretary Shi, every time she saw her, she acted distrustful. She knew that her youthful appearance and internship experience didnt inspire confidence. Even before Chu Xiuhuang was discharged from the hospital, Nangong Ci had directly sought her out, saying that Shi Huan requested Chu Xiuhuang to be assigned a senior specialist doctor, otherwise they would transfer him to another hospital. Also, she was strictly criticized for not being professional enough, and for poor acting. Nangong Chu had been in a state of self-reflection because of this. Unexpectedly during the phone call, Shi Huan was so respectful, not just referring to her as doctor, but also bidding her goodnight with a polite you. Nangong Chu felt a chill on her back. Eek, Chu Xiuhuangs fake illness hadnt been discovered by Secretary Shi, had it? Could that be why shed called to question her? Anxious, Nangong Chu immediately texted Chu Xiuhuang. After sending a message, Chu Xiuhuang didnt respond. Nangong Chu grew worried, continuing to send continuing to send a bombardment of messages. ** VIP suite. The misunderstanding had been cleared up, and the journalists had thoroughly lost their words. Shi Huan put away her phone and slowly began to speak, The reason we chose to keep this matter a secret and not disclose it was because for an adult male, having this kind of disease is, quite frankly, embarrassing to talk about. Chu Xiuhuang: Mo Weiyi: Journalists: Chapter 591: 591, there are quite a few enemies Chapter 591: 591, there are quite a few enemies My boyfriend is a very self-respecting man. Although he was often derisively called a yboy by the outside world, and even a rumor of him being gay with Advocate Lu was spread, he has the pride and dignity of a man when faced with such situations. So Shi Huan sighed, his tone heavy yet sincere, Could you please help, to keep the matter of today a secret for now? Particrly about him not telling about this incident, dont worry, my boyfriend will definitely reward you handsomely. The journalists are ted at the prospect of avish reward from the eldest son of the Chu family, and they politely respond: No worries, we will not take advantage of a person in difficulties. This is a personal matter of Chu Junior, its indeed not appropriate for the media to report. We all have professional ethics. Yes, yes. Shi Huan smiled brightly, No matter what, Im really sorry for causing all the misunderstandings today. I, as his girlfriend, was also in the wrong as I had a minor tiff with him over a petty matter earlier and was not able toe over immediately, which resulted in him and Miss Mo being in the same room, leading to your misunderstanding. After this exnation, the reporters did not have anyints left.
    Initially, they had all received anonymous calls stating that the Mo familys little princess was having a secret meeting with Chu Junior behind her husbands back upstairs. Mo Weiyi has always portrayed a healthy and beautiful princess-like image to the outside world. Such a scandalous piece of news thatpletely contradicts this image would naturally surprise everyone. Therefore, upon entering the room and seeing the scene, they all yearned to dig out juicy details like crazy. Now, having realized that it was a misunderstanding involving Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang, the reporters knew very well that both the Chu family and Mo family were influential families of Nancheng. Would they dare to report false news? They wouldnt risk their livelihoods! So after listening to these words, the reporters started to pack up their equipment. Wait a moment. Chu Xiuhuangs sudden interjection startled everyone. Shi Huan also looked at him. The matter was already resolved, what was he up to now? Today, my girlfriend and I did have a date here, but I feel bad to let you all run here in the middle of the night just to leave empty-handed. Lets do this, Chu Xiuhuang grinned wickedly, You help me conceal my condition, and Ill give you the press headline. Shi Huan was taken aback. The reporters eyes lit up, Chu Junior, you mean to say? I havent made it to the newspapers headlines for several months. Tomorrow I want to see the report on me and my girlfriend. Remember, it has to be the front-page headline, the pictures have to be good, Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, then decisively pulled Shi Huan into his arms, Come on, take a few more shots. After a brief surprise, the reporters immediately held up their cameras and started snapping at the couple. So for a while, the entire suite was filled with a festive atmosphere. While taking pictures, the reporters congratted them. Chu Xiuhuang held Shi Huan, smiled at the camera, with a smirk and raised eyebrows, he gave a yea gesture with one hand. He was spreading his charm as much as possible, not caring at all about him wearing only a thin small bath towel. Shi Huans smile was stiff, and her body was too stiff to move.
    But at this moment, she was caught in a predicament and had to cooperate, otherwise wouldnt the whole drama she had yed be wasted? She could only pray that very few people would recognize her with her makeup on. Mo Weiyi on the side hadpletely petrified. If you talk about being flirtatious in Nancheng, Mr. Chu would rank second and probably no man would dare to im the first ce, right?
    Finally, after the photo session was over, all the journalists were very satisfied. After all, the news about Chu Junior having a girlfriend was indeed bombshell news, so tonights visit was not in vain. After the journalists had dispersed, Shi Huan finally let out a long sigh of relief. Mo Weiyi immediately said, Huanhuan, thank you so much for today. Youre wee, Shi Huan said with a hidden meaning, Remember next time not to be tracked by reporters. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat-like eyes, looking innocent, I was really framed. But Shi Huan only responded with silence. Really! I was in the restroom just now, and then suddenly As Mo Weiyi wanted to exin, Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted her, Alright little princess, youd better hurry up and let your bodyguard take you home. He didnt want to dy his romantic time with Shi Huan! Mo Weiyi looked at him, I havent asked you yet, what exactly happened? Why was I in your room? Chu Xiuhuang said, Youre asking me? Fucking hell, I want to ask you. How did you enter when I was bathing? And you even brought so many reporters? I fainted when I went to the restroom, and when I woke up I was here!
    You wouldnt have really fallen for me, right? Taking advantage of Mr. Xiao being hospitalized, so you came to find me, Chu Xiuhuang crossed his arms, clicked his tongue and added dismissively, But Im sorry, Im not interested in you now. I have little Huanhuan. Can you not cling to me anymore, hmm? Mo Weiyis face turned red with anger, Youre talking nonsense! I was framed! Who can testify for you? Chu Xiuhuang smirked unscrupulously. Mo Weiyi clenched her small fist, ring at him before turning around, Rong An, lets go! Rong An immediately followed her. Once they were outside in the corridor, he whispered, Princess, Ill check the surveince here. Yes, on this level. Including the restroom. Mo Weiyi lifted his left wrist and nced at the time, From 9 to 9:30. Okay. Also. Mo Weiyi furrowed his eyebrows and quickly walked away, My phone is missing. Someone is definitely targeting me on purpose. Dont tell Xiaobai for now. I understand. * * In the VIP suite, when thest of the non-essential personnel finally left, Chu Xiuhuang closed the door and immediately hugged Shi Huan.
    Shi Huan jumped in surprise, Mr. Chu, what are you doing? Mr. Chu? Chu Xiuhuang raised an unhappy eyebrow, You were calling me Axui just moments ago, now its Mr. Chu? Shi Huan replied, I said that only for crisis management. Crisis management? Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows lifted even higher, Seems like youve really learned a lot from me these years, dont you think? Mr. Chu taught me well. Chu Xiuhuang: Shi Huan nced at the time, Mr. Chu, if theres nothing else, Ill leave first. Why are you going home so early? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her beautiful face, his adams apple bobbing heavily, Your little uncle and aunt have returned to the country, right? They dont need you to take care of Little Luoluo anymore, right? What are doing back home then? I have to prepare for thepany opening soon. Im giving you a day off. Shi Huan: She hesitated before saying, Can I refuse this day off? Why?
    Shi Huan frowned. After a few days off, she felt like she was going to get rusty from idling around. She couldnt wait to get back to work at thepany and keep herself busy. Seeing her conflict, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said, Alright then. Shi Huan was taken aback. He agreed so quickly? You can go back for now, Ill find you tomorrow. After all this mess today, to be honest, the mood waspletely ruined. He had this room decorated to surprise her, but it was all ruined by those reporters. The roses on the floor were trampled into fragments, many balloons were burst, the confetti had fallen, and most importantly, a box of Durex condoms was even torn open! Damn it, they were such beasts! The perfectionist Mr. Chu felt the need to n it all over again. The next day happened to be Valentines Day, everything was in his favor. Shi Huan nodded, Mr. Chu, Ill leave first then. Mmm. Shi Huan promptly grabbed her bag and left. How could he! Making her dress up, do her makeup and style her hair, just to have here over and do crisis management for him. No wonder they say a hero is always vulnerable to a beautys schemes. As for Chu Xiuhuang, he quickly dialed a number on his phone, Old Gu, I need a favor. Go ahead. Daring to pull off this stunt under Gu Huaians watch, the person behind all this must have had major connections, and a lot of nerve. They were either targeting Mo Family or him, Chu Xiuhuang. But Chu Xiuhuang thought carefully and realized he had quite a few enemies. The ones who attended todays event were mostly the elite families of Nancheng, with whom he interacted frequently, so he couldnt figure out who would be plotting against him in such a short amount of time. The phone callsted around 10 minutes. After hanging up, he noticed several new messages on WeChat. Checking them, he found they were all from Nangong Chu: [Brother Chu, did something go wrong?] [Your secretary scared me to death just now, calling me sir!] [Did she discover something?] [Brother Chu, save me, where are you?] Chu Xiuhuang: What a silly girl. Chapter 592: 592, go and collect your penalty yourself. Chapter 592: 592, go and collect your penalty yourself. A ck sedan was parked on the roadside outside the hotel. As he watched groups of journalists leaving, the man squinted his long, slender eyes, the corner of his mouth curling up into an icy grimace. The car door was soon opened, and a woman dressed in a ck suit got in. Ive failed. Slowly exhaling the cigarette smoke from his mouth, the man asked, What happened? When I let him into the room, I didnt notice that there was a Love Potion Fairy in there. Dont tell me the drug was counteracted? The woman lowered her head, Yes. Heh. The man couldnt help but ridicule, Agui, how long have you been with me? The woman spoke softly, Five years.
    Go punish yourself. Yes. After the woman left, the driver in the front said, Dont worry, Quan Shao. All the surveince videos have been erased. What about the journalists? The journalists just received an anonymous call. The phone number has already been destroyed so there is no trail leading back to us. Snuffing out the cigarette, the man casually threw it out of the tiny gap in the window, Drive. Yes. The ck sedan slowly drove off. Underneath the heavy night sky, it was as if nothing had happened at all. * * The next morning, before eight oclock, the door was furiously knocked on. Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Fast and impatient. Coming. Shi Huan furrowed his brows, randomly grabbing a jacket to put on before he went to open the door. A p came out of nowhere. Caught off guard, Shi Huan felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, then
    Shameless creature! Fooling around all day, youre so disgraceful! We, the Shi Family, still care about our reputation! Something was thrown at her and fell to the ground. Speak! What is going on with you and this Chu Xiuhuang! Shi Huan looked at the newspaper on the ground. In bold red letters it read: Overbearing CEO Secretly Meeting with Mysterious Lady Late at Night, Wedding Rumored to be Imminent!
    There was arge picture below: A scene where she was held tightly by Chu Xiuhuang, takenst night from a presidential suite. Roses, balloons, pink streamers, C the backgrounds were full of these, creating an obscenely intimate atmosphere. Given the headline, it seemed quite credible. Shi Huans eye twitched fiercely. No wonder Zhu Mingpeng was so adamant about not meeting you, he must have known you were involved with Chu Xiuhuang. Mrs. Shi pushed Shi Huan aggressively, her face ring red as she swore, Even your sisters man is not off-limits to you, do you n to make a move while your sister is studying abroad? How can you be so despicable? Shameless! Do you think he would even fancy you? The only reason he gave you the job was to help us, the Shi Family, to repay our debt, and you actually think hes interested in you?! Shi Huan was pushed by the elder woman deep into the room. The old woman was a terrifying sight, her eyes bloodshot, as if she were ready to eat someone alive. As if the person standing in front of her wasnt her granddaughter, but her enemy. Finally, the olddy ceased her tirade. Shi Huan started to exin, Grandma, I was just doing Chu Xiuhuang a favorst night, I didnt realize we were being photographed, my only role is his secretary, I do not like him and we wont get together. You dare to argue! Mrs. Shi was quaking with rage. What on earth did she do to deserve this! If she had known this would happen, why would she have let this harbinger of doom return to the Shi Family? Not only had it cost the lives of her husband and son, now it was causing her endless grief. Mrs. Shi seemed to muster all her strength, as if she were a ferocious beast. She stormed towards Shi Huan, dragging her to the door and harshly pushing her out, panting heavily as she said, I dont want to see you, get out, out! Out right now!
    Shi Huan looked at her speechlessly, Grandma, this is my home. The olddy looked so angry her face had turned red. Biting her lip, she stormed out with her walking stick. She moved so swiftly and nimbly, not at all like a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Mom. Qian Yulin chased after her, but the old woman had already entered the elevator. Soon she returned, looking at Shi Huan, Huanhuan, what exactly happened? Shi Huan had no choice but to exin further, Chu Xiuhuang had a secret meeting in a hotel room with a married manst night, I was just used as a shield. There were just too many reporters around, so thats how I ended up in the newspaper. I see. Qian Yulin asked again, So, does Chu Xiuhuang not know about your sisters matter? I havent mentioned it. Thats good to know. Qian Yulin sighed in relief, Your sister, after her unsessful suicide attempt, couldnt face to stay in Nancheng anymore. Dont worry, when shees back, she will exin everything to Chu Xiuhuang. Oh. Seeing Shi Huans indifferent expression, Qian Yulin couldnt identify her own feelings. This daughter was abducted by traffickers not long after she was born. After many years of searching with no results, she was unexpectedly found by Shi Minyan in a country orphanage. They say that children who grow up away from their parents tend to be distant. Shi Huan was a perfect example.
    She was very independent and capable, but she always maintained a cool and detached demeanor. She listened when the elders spoke, did what she was asked, and refrained from doing what she was told not to. She called her mother and old Mrs. Shi grandma. Even when the Shi family encountered financial problems, she took on the burden of repaying the debt without hesitation. Over the years, shes been providing for the Shi familys daily expenses, including Shi Qingges tuition and living expenses abroad. In the depths of her heart, Qian Yulin felt sorry for this younger daughter, but whenever she tried to express her feelings, words failed her. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, Im going home. Okay. Shi Huan saw her to the door. After Qian Yulin left, she closed the door and remained sitting on the sofa. After an unknown period, she got up and noticed a newspaper on the floor. Picking it up, she read it. In the picture in the newspaper, she was wearing a goose-yellow evening gown, head bowed, her petite figure was easily enveloped by the mans arm. She looked demure and very intimate with the man. Then she looked at Chu Xiuhuang. He was quite a sight! He was only wearing a bath towel, his lean and sexy bodypletely exposed. His thin lips were hooked into a wicked smile. Even without deliberately trying to be cool, he exuded an irresistible charm.
    The sidebar headlines were even more eye-catching, Domineering CEO sets eyes on a gentle beauty. Rumors are their marriage is near! Xiuhuang interested in her? Shi Huan couldnt help butugh. ** At eight thirty in the morning, after washing up, Shi Huan left the house. Just arriving downstairs. Huanhuan. Shi Huan looked at the man before her, frowned, and wanted to leave. Huanhuan. Shi Minyan grabbed her wrist. Shi Huan jerked her hand away as if electrified. Shi Minyan looked bad. The next second, he stepped forward and stood directly in front of her. I have to go to work. Do you need something? Shi Huan looked at him impatiently. Shi Minyan looked at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a ck down jacket, ck leather shoes, and ck trousers. Her shoulder-length ck hair was not styled and just hung inly. Her small delicate face was mostly hidden behind a pair ofrge ck-rimmed sses. Her attire made her look old-fashioned, reserved, and deliberately concealing, totally different from her previous appearance. Shi Huan shouldnt be like this. When he met her at fifteen, in her first year of high school, she was not as radiant as her sister Shi Qingge but she was still a pretty and refined beauty. However, since she was brought back from the orphanage, many things have happened in the Shi family one after another. Mrs. Shi treated her like a gue, frequently trying to chase her out of the Shi family. Especially after that incident five years ago, she began topletely hide her true self. Shi Minyan squinted his eyes and said, Going to work? Ill take you. Its not necessary. Shi Huan. Shi Minyan sighed lightly, Is it necessary? Are you that scared of me? Im not afraid of you. I just want to avoid any suspicions. Shi Huan said, each word distinct. Avoid suspicion? Shi Minyanughed. He said softly, Huanhuan, you are my niece, Im your uncle, we are family. Its normal for an uncle to give his niece a ride to work. Who would dare to gossip about it? Shi Huan stared at him, So, you still remember that youre now my uncle. The smile gradually faded from Shi Minyans handsome face. If theres nothing else, I have to go. Ill give you a ride. Shi Minyan grabbed her arm again. Let go! I have my own car! Shi Huan struggled, but this time she couldnt free herself from his grasp. Chapter 593: 593, Mysterious girlfriend exposed Chapter 593: 593, Mysterious girlfriend exposed The gap between male and female strength was vast, especially given that Shi Minyan was dead set on not letting her leave. It wasnt until an elderly man passed by on his morning run that Shi Minyan closed the distance to her and spoke softly, Get in the car, or I can carry you into the car. You choose. Shi Minyan! Shi Huan lost her temper in her urgency, yet she didnt dare to raise her voice too loud. Dont forget who you are now! Youre a married man! I dont care. Shi Minyansugh was somewhat self-deprecating, These past few years, your aunt has known that my heart has never been with her, but that doesnt matter. As long as I go home, as long as nothing changes between us three. Shi Huan looked at him, her face slightly surprised, for a moment not quite understanding what he meant. Dont worry, she doesnt know about whats between us. Shi Huan immediately retorted, The only thing between us is that were uncle and niece. But Huanhuan, you admitted your feelings for me, remember? On Valentines day, you gave me a present and said you liked me, wanted to be with your big brother Stop talking! Shi Huan forcefully cut him off, I was only fifteen back then! Shi Minyan! I didnt even know you were my real uncle! But I cant forget that time. Shi Minyans eyes shimmered slightly, Or what did you think, why would I show up today? Do you know what day today is? Hm?
    Shi Huan clenched her fingers, What do you want in the end? Nothing in particr. Shi Minyan finally let go of her, Get in, I just want to take you to work. I have my own car. Get in. Shi Minyan repeated, his usually gentle face showing a rare sternness. Huanhuan, are you heading to work? A familiar voice suddenly came from the side. Shi Huan turned her head to look, somewhat speechless, Grandma Wu. It was the gossipy olddy from upstairs. Truly, the olddys eyes looked over curiously, Huanhuan, who is this? My uncle. Shi Huan replied simply. Uncle? The olddy clearly found it hard to believe. Shi Minyan was thirty-two this year, looking no different than a man in his twenties. While Shi Huan is twenty-four this year, the two standing together really did not look like uncle and niece. This Huanhuan,st time she brought a man home for the night, lied that he was her boss. This time brought home another man overnight, and is now lying that hes her uncle. Flirtatious, and not honest! Truly, not a good girl! Shi Minyan spoke again, Lets go, Ill take you to work. With that, he turned around and left. Shi Huan had no choice but to follow him.
    Work begins at nine, and it was already half past eight. Except for going out, she was neverte. Because the Huangyous rules are set by her, employees are not allowed to bete every month. Beingte once will deduct full attendance, and Huangyous full attendance bonus is 2000 yuan. *
    * Shi Minyan drove a ck Audi, it was obvious that he was doing quite well, no longer the poor chap who had been in jail years ago. Shi Huan sat in the back seat, remained silent after getting into the car. It was only until Shi Minyan suddenly asked, Whats the deal with you and Chu Xiuhuang? Shi Huan was looking out the window. No exnation was given. Shi Minyans voice continued to ring out, Chu Xiuhuang, the eldest son of the Chu family, the leader of Nanchengs princes, Gods pet, the object of all womens dreams in Nancheng. Five years ago he suddenly announced that he entered the business world, establishing Huangyou Company to do venture capital projects. In less than five years, it has be one of the top three investmentpanies in the country. However, he has too many scandals, changes girlfriends once a month on average, and has even been rumored to be homosexual. Shi Minyanughed, talking to himself, Youve been his secretary for five years, dont tell me youre suddenly thinking of changing your rtionship with him. The moment he saw the newspaper, he wont deny, he felt a slight sting. But after calming down, he thought it couldnt be. Huanhuan, the man you love the most is still me. These words, were full of smugness. Youre overthinking it. Shi Huan simply said. Half an hourter, the car stopped in front of the Huangyou building.
    As she was getting out of the car, Shi Minyan spoke again, Huanhuan, you know, I went to prison for you back then, and I married Tu Youran for you as well. I know, our rtionship is not epted by society, but Huanhuan, please believe me, I will protect you, everything I do is for your own good. The woman I love, its always been you, and only you. If he had said these words a few years ago, when they didnt know about their blood rtion yet, Shi Huan would have been moved. But now Shi Minyan, ever since I returned to the Shi family, our rtionship is nothing more than uncle and niece. I was young and ignorant before, I didnt know what love was, but now Im grown, I know whats right and whats wrong. Even if you werent my uncle, you have a wife and child now, and I refuse to be the third wheel, because I have a conscience. Having said that, she got out of the car and left without looking at his ashen face. He sat in the car, looking at her petite figure quickly entering the building, and remained in ce for a long time. Until his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, Youran. Minyan, where are you? Nowhere, I stepped out this morning to meet a friend. Im heading back now. Alright, Ill wait for you at home. Remember we agreed to take Luoluo to the amusement park today. Dont forget. Okay. The mans voice was very gentle. After hanging up the call, he quickly drove the car out.
    * * Shi Huan had always thought she was an orphan from a young age. She stayed in the orphanage until she was fifteen, being adopted by several families during that time. She remembers the first people who adopted her, a wealthy couple with a daughter, who shortly after adopting her, dies in a tragic car ident while on a family trip. The second family that adopted her suddenly went bankrupt. The third family she was Shi Huan couldnt remember them clearly anymore. In short, all of those adoptions ended unfavorably and the orphanage began to spread rumors that she was actually a bad-luck charm, a curse. She didnt have any friends, and no one yet wanted to adopt her until she was fifteen. At that time, she met Shi Minyan who came to her school as a teaching assistant. She confessed her love for him, encouraged by her ssmates as a young girl experiencing her first romantic feelings. The time they spent together was just one day, they hadnt even held hands. The next day, Shi Minyans father, also known as Master Shi, suddenly came to the orphanage, took her home and told her that she was the Shi familys granddaughter who had been abducted for the past decade. As for the rest of the story
    Miss Shi, Miss Shi! Shi Huan was brought back to reality. Are you also looking at this gossip? Assistant Xiaoliu pointed to herputer. Shi Huan looked carefully. At some point during her daydreaming, a news pop-up had appeared on herputer screen. Looking at the headline, she was practically scared stiff. How didst nights news spread so fast? Shi Huan couldnt help but do a Baidu search for Chu Xiuhuang. What she discovered was a whole new world. Master Chus mysterious girlfriend officially exposed! Has Brother Fire Emperors heart been captured? Mysterious girlfriend appears, Chu Xiuhuang is proud. She: Saved the Milky Way! Captured Chu Xiuhuang! There were numerous headlines of this sort. The previous time she was featured in the news with Chu Xiuhuang, she was wearing a ck suit, a pair of ck-rimmed sses, no makeup, looking entirely like a staff member. Therefore, most of the media praised Chu Xiuhuangs wealth, assuming her to be a secretary apanying her boss to a banquet. asionally, one or two gossip outlets suggested that the two were having an office romance. But without many people believing this, and Chu Xiuhuang notmenting on it, the story quickly fizzled out. But this time was different. Last night she was wearing a high-profile outfit worth millions, while Chu Xiuhuang was shirtless, looking like he had just finished showering, and they looked intimately close. Moreover, she added fuel to the fire by sitting in such way as to solidify their couple status while trying to deflect attention from Mo Weiyi. So now, almost all of the media is discussing the romance between these two people. This is the end. Master Chus body is so good! He has an eight-pack! In clothes, he looks thin, but without them, boy does he have muscles! His physique is no worse than a models! By the way, Sister Shi, do you know this woman? On hearing this, Shi Huan paused. Yeah, shes so beautiful. Do you know who she is, Sister Shi? Shi Huan again, They didnt recognize that it was her? Well, she did always wear those big ck-rimmed sses, so it made sense that no one recognized her as the woman in the photo. Thats good. At least she doesnt need to find another exnation. Chapter 594: 594, The Little Princess quarrels on the spot Chapter 594: 594, The Little Princess quarrels on the spot It seems that Sister Shi doesnt recognize it. Someone immediately said. It seems its not arranged by Sister Shi. I think its prettier than those previously arranged. Mainly because she looks pure. The ones before, they all look like enchanting sluts! They mean no good! Shi Huan blinked, Uh, were the women I arranged before that bad? Enchanting sluts? Mean no good? Assistant Xiaoliuughed awkwardly, Mostly because our Master Chu is so handsome, its a pity to match him with those inte stars who have had stic surgery. I think Master Chu should be matched with a noble and virtuousdy. After speaking, he looked at the screen, I wonder who this cultureddy belongs to? Cultureddy?
    Shi Huan coughed awkwardly and directly closed the webpage, Okay, lets get back to work. Oh. The two assistants left quickly and returned to their seats. ** Nangong Hospital. Mo Weiyi arrived at the ward and saw a familiar figure at the information desk as soon as she entered the hall. She withdrew her gaze, but the person ran over to her. Miss Mo. Rong An stepped forward and directly blocked her path. Yet Tian Ye once again shouted out loudly, Miss Mo, Miss Mo! Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes in annoyance. She stopped and turned around, her pretty face was as usual Cnguid and aloof. She raised her delicate brow gracefully, Miss Tian, why are you here? Tian Ye looked at her, I brought my mother back for a check-up. Oh? Mo Weiyi looked around, Wheres your mother then? In the sickroom. Tian Ye answered neither humbly nor arrogantly. Mo Weiyi nodded and turned to leave. Rong An looked at Tian Ye and followed her. Unexpectedly, Tian Ye suddenly rushed over and grabbed Mo Weiyis arm, Miss Mo.
    Mo Weiyi stopped, her slender eyshes lowered, looking at the hand on her arm, I dont like people touching me. Tian Yes face was filled with embarrassment. As soon as Rong An extended his hand, she immediately withdrew hers. Is there anything else? Mo Weiyi asked her. Biting her lip, Tian Ye finally said, Miss Mo, I have something to discuss with Yebai.
    Oh? A thinyer of mockery entered Mo Weiyis face, Thats rare, you want to see my husband ande to ask for my opinion? Have you finally realized its wrong and started to avoid suspicion? Didnt you always go directly to him? Tian Ye again looked embarrassed, she said, I really have something to discuss with Yebai, but the nurse said he isnt receiving any guests. I see. Mo Weiyi curved her red lips, her smile shining brightly. Since thest time Ye Bei came over and got beaten up after sending lilies, Xiao Yebai had ordered that no one would be received as a guest. Now it seems, that decision was really wise. Miss Mo, can you let me see him? Tian Yes voice rang out again. Mo Weiyi replied very simply, No. Miss Mo, I really have something to talk to him about. You can rest assured, I wont say anything bad about you. Bad about me? What do you mean? Mo Weiyi raised her fine eyebrows again. Miss Mo, we women should understand each other. In front of me, you dont need to keep up the act. Hmm. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh, looking at her, Miss Tian, I really dont understand, what am I pretending to be? Can you be more direct when you speak? Is it interesting to beat around the bush? Tian Ye hesitated and said, Are you really clueless or just pretending? The news about you and Chu Xiuhuang spending a night at a hotel has exploded on the gossip forum! Mo Weiyis beautiful eyes moved slightly.
    What happenedst night? Hasnt everything already been exined in front of the reporters? If there were still rumors circting, someone must be intentionally stirring things behind her back. She had never been fond of looking at gossip forums. When she arrived this morning, she searched on social media and found that most of the news was about Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan in a rtionship, so she didnt think much about it. Regardingst night, Miss Tian, you were ignorant, but I dont me you. Mo Weiyi squinted her cat-like eyes, a look of utter disdain in herzy demeanor. Whoever is innocent, remains innocent. Regardless of what anyone thinks of me, I simply dont care. Now, my husband is waiting for me to bring him food, Ill be leaving first, goodbye. Having said that, she turned and walked away. Miss Mo, are you feeling guilty? Thats why you dare not let me see Yebai, isnt it? Mo Weiyi paused once more in her tracks. She turned around, wearing a smirk on her face, she looked at Tian Ye. What am I to feel guilty about? Refusing to let this woman, who seems to have evil intentions towards my husband, meet him is now my guilt? Miss Tian, have you studied abroad for so long that you have forgotten the most basic moral principles of the Chinese people? Tian Yes face turned red and pale alternately. Grinding her teeth, she spoke, Miss Mo, everyone knows that Yebais health hasnt been well recently and he has been taking care of it in the hospital. So, you took advantage of itst night to have a fling with Mr. Chu, youre deceiving Yebai! Youre cuckolding YebaiAh! A p struck her face squarely. Holding her face, Tian Ye was dazed for a while. This was the first time she had been pped in public, especially by a woman five years younger than her!
    Mo Weiyi held her chin high, her voice cold and clear, So, a highly talented person, who has studied in America, is just like you. Echoing what others say and easily swayed by the wind. Cant you make a clear judgment for yourself? Tian Ye clenched her fingers, her face paling, Miss Mo, whether you cheated or not, you know in your heart. If you didnt do it, why did you get so angry and attack me? Ha. Mo Weiyiughed scornfully, I hit you because what you said was filthy. It dirtied my ears, annoyed me and I decided to strike. What, if I am to p you, I need to ask your opinion first? Is the left side of your face too precious for me to p? Can I only p the right side? Now that I have pped you, what can you do about it? Shed had enough of this Tian Ye. Mo Weiyi felt that pping Tian Ye was too lenient. If Tian Ye were not a woman, Mo Weiyi would have asked Rong An to deal with her a long time ago. Two beautiful women argued loudly, using each other of infidelity and throwing punches. A crowd had gathered to watch the spectacle. If thats the case. Tian Yes eyes reddened, Are you brave enough to tell Yebai about this? If you dont tell him, that means youre feeling guilty! None of your business! Why are you so concerned about Yebais and my affairs? Whats your motive? Regardless if I did it or not, isnt it a matter between the two of us? What does it have to do with you, the third party? Now I get it. Mo Weiyi smiled, alluringly beautiful, You cant wait for him to not trust me, to break our rtionship so that you can take advantage of it? Ha, this is the first time I see a mistress so arrogant, are you hoping all day that Yebai and I will break up? Having said all this, she turned her back, Rong An, throw her out. Tian Ye bit her lips, Miss Mo Ah! Before she could say anything else, Rong An grabbed her arm and dragged her away. The man was rough, not caring about her dignity. Bian Ye suppressed her anger and made no sound.
    Mo Weiyi entered the elevator, pressed the button for the 20th floor. As the doors closed, she took out her phone and searched on social media and forums. Surprisingly, she did not find any news about her and Chu Xiuhuang, mostly it was news about Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan. Strange, where did Tian Ye get her information? Mo Weiyi was somewhat troubled. The reason why she didnt want to tell Xiao Yebai about this was firstly, due to his health not being fully recovered. Secondly, it was because the situation was peculiar. Both the restrooms and corridor surveince footage had been erased in advance, and nothing was wrong at the receptionists end. Rong An had not yet unearthed any new findings. The entire matter seemed to be a premeditated set up by someone. It reeked of a calcted scheme. She believed that Chu Xiuhuang would not stoop this low to plot against her, especially since he had already shielded her with his ED newsst night. Until things be clear, she felt she should refrain from letting Xiao Yebai know and worry about it. ** Reaching the ward, Mo Weiyi opened the door, the man on the bed was looking at his phone. Hearing the sound, he looked up. The sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a golden glow on him. His handsome features softened in the light. Chapter 595: 595, Xiaobai was cheated on? Chapter 595: 595, Xiaobai was cheated on? The handsome contours of his face now appeared a lot softer. He looked clean, refined, with an undertone of warmth. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but curl her red lips into a smile and walked over, Xiaobai, your female ssmate was looking for you again. Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, I didnt see her. At this, Mo Weiyis sweet smile deepened. Her mood was great. Arriving at the bedside, she bent over directly, and her fluffy long curls followed the motion, emanating a faint rose fragrance. Such a good boy. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yebai asked, What happenedst night? Mo Weiyi was taken aback. After a moment of silence, she bit her lip, What do you mean?
    Last night, you and Chu Xiuhuang, what happened? The mans voice was clear and articted, every word could be clearly heard by her. Mo Weiyi unconsciously licked her lips. Her beautiful cat-like eyes stared at him unblinkingly, Nothing happened. If thats the case, Xiao Yebai still spoke in a calm tone, why didnt you tell me? What do you mean by that now? Are you saying that you dont trust me? Mo Weiyi abruptly stood up, her voice raising, she looked down at the mans calm face in an using tone, Do you think your wife is having an affair now? Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebais dark eyes moved slightly, I didnt say that. Then what do you mean? Mo Weiyi didnt back off, Who told you, was it Tian Ye? No. How is that possible? She had just seen Tian Ye downstairs, who else could it be besides her? Xiao Yebai looked at her and raised his thin lips, smiling but not quite, It really wasnt her, it was someone else. Who? Ye Bei. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but roll her eyes. Those two, dog and woman! They really suit each other so well! Theyre like ghosts, drifting around all day, one more dramatic than the other! They are so nosy, theyre probably hoping for other peoples marital problems, right? Mo Weiyi asked again, Why do you believe him when he tells you? There was a post in the forum. Xiao Yebais tone as if talking about todays weather, But it has been banned and deleted.
    Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes, So the forum posts were all handled by you? It must be! That was quick. Tell me the exact situation at that time.
    Mo Weiyi positioned herself on the bedside again and recountedst nights events. In the end, she said, I had asked Rong An to investigate, but she couldnt find anything. I didnt want you to worry, so I didnt mention it. Xiao Yebai: Hmm. Looking at the mans handsome yet chilly face, Mo Weiyi cant help but ask again, Do you truly believe that nothing happened between Chu Xiuhuang and me? After all, there was no third-party present during the incident. Mo Weiyi doesnt want to admit it, but deep down, she felt slightly apprehensive. She cant help but think that if she woke up a bitterst night, those reporters would have barged into the room to find her lying in Chu Xiuhuangs bed. By now, Nancheng would probably be buzzing with rumors that she and Chu Xiuhuang really had an affair. Regardless of the truth, as her husband, Xiao Yebai would definitely lose face. He might even be a joke around Nancheng. Among all things that a man could least stand, undoubtedly, its his wife cheating on him. Especially a man with a strong sense of pride. Xiao Yebai squinted his ck eyes. Mo Weiyi paid attention to his slender lips, hoping that he would say I trust you. However, he raised his lips and said, I dont care. What do you mean? Mo Weiyi was somewhat confused for a moment. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his fair and long finger lifted up and rearranged her hair, If theres nothing, thats the best. Otherwise, I will cripple him.
    Mo Weiyi: She swallowed hard in shock. Cripple Cripple him? Mo Weiyi recalled the incident involving Song Quan. At that time in the bathroom, Xiao Yebai was as if he had turned into a different person, ruthlessly stomping on Song Quans groin, being harsh and brutal, as if he was really going to cripple him. In the end, Song Quan really was ruined. Even now, he remains in a vegetative state,pletely devoid of consciousness. She immediately said, Theres no need for you to ruin him, Chu Xiuhuang already has. Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes: So I really dont have anything to do with him. Mo Weiyi was absolutely certain of this. Mm, Xiao Yebai nodded slightly, Stay away from him in the future, and also, have Rong An stay by your side at all times. Alright, understood. Having Rong An follow her again, just thinking about it gave Mo Weiyi a headache.
    After this kind of ident, it seems like she would have no freedom in the future again. She pouted, I had ns to help Rong An find a partner, so maybe I should get a different bodyguard? Xiao Yebais typically cold and detached handsome features slightly moved, Find a partner? Thats right, hes the same age as you, hes 26 now, isnt it about time for him to get married? But hes so reticent, he never told me what kind of woman he likes, so I cant even help him. Xiao Yebai nodded, It is time for him to find a partner. Rong An, who was guarding the door outside, suddenly felt a chill wind blow past. He immediately looked around in all directions. Something was off. ** After finishing breakfast, Aunt Zhou came to clean the room. Mo Weiyi went into the bathroom and dialed Zhan Yaos mobile phone number. Yo, Little Princess, whats made you free enough to call me? Are you busy? Am I disturbing you? Not at all, Im visiting rtives in the countryside, perfectly bored. Zhan Yao cheerfully said, Go ahead, Little Princess, are you inviting me to a meal? Or are you asking about Yebai? Or asking about the incidentst night?
    Did you handle the incidentst night? After asking, Mo Weiyi felt it was a redundant question. Zhan Yao is a police officer, and Xiao Yebai is in the hospital. Other than his help, she couldnt think of a second option. As expected, Zhan Yao did not deny it, Just finished dealing with it. Are there any that escaped? No. Mo Weiyi said, Actually, I wanted to ask you about Tian Ye. Wow, I guessed it all wrong. So did Tian Ye go to the hospital to see Yebai again? Yes. Tsk. Zhan Yao sounded helpless, It seems she still cant give up. Mo Weiyi said, Of course she wont give up, after all, my husband is so outstanding. Zhan Yao chuckled silently. Mo Weiyi directly asked, I just want to know, was Xiaobais previous rtionship with her really just a pure student rtionship? Yes. But the clothes and essories Tian Ye wears are quite valuable. She hasnt been in the country for long, so her work sry wouldnt be that much. What are you suspecting? Little Princess, youre not suspecting Yebai of secretly supporting her financially, are you? Mo Weiyi: This It probably wasnt that bad. But from the few times they met, the clothes, bag, and jewelry that Tian Ye wore are indeed expensive. She had already broken up with Ye Bei, so Mo Weiyi began to suspect, perhaps Tian Ye might Zhan Yao began tough first, Rest assured, if a man truly likes a woman, do you think he would do nothing for seven whole years? Besides, at the time Yebai was not even married to you, also surreptitious things like financial support, I do not believe Yebai would do. Mo Weiyi said, But at that time, Tian Ye had a boyfriend. When we all just started studying in the institute, Ye Bei and Tian Ye hadnt started dating yet. It was actually Ye Bei who first pursued Tian Ye. You know, Ye Beis family is quite rich, ever heard of the Ye family in Nancheng? Mo Weiyi nodded. She had recently asked Rong An to do some investigations, and she knew a little about it. The Ye family runs several businesses in Nancheng, they have several branches and are quite wealthy. Actually, Tian Ye is quite pitiful. When she was very young, her father cheated on her mother, even secretly had a son with the other woman outside. Her mother was kept in the dark until the kid was already ten years old. In order to divorce, her father resorted to various means, beating is a minor thing, he actually had people assualt Tian Yes mother, also threatened her using photos taken, nothing was off-limits. In the end, he seeded in divorcing her under the pretext of extra-marital affairs. Because of this, Tian Yes mother suffered mentally, she has had severe depression for years. She is often jittery which causes serious stress on her heart. It seems like she had undergone a heart surgery two years ago and has been somewhat mentally vacant since then. When Ye Beis parents found out about all this, they pressured him to break up with Tian Ye. They were initially nning to get married after graduation. Tian Ye ended up staying in America by herself for a year and finally had no choice but to return to the country. She now works as an investment consultant in the Zhou familys financepany. Mo Weiyi listened quietly, How is it that you know all this so clearly? Chapter 596: 596, Weiyi and Xiaobai Celebrate Valentines Day at the Horse Field Chapter 596: 596, Weiyi and Xiaobai Celebrate Valentines Day at the Horse Field Zhan Yao paused, then said, Maybe its an upational habit, I just went on and looked it up. On a whim, Mo Weiyi asked, So, did you investigate me too? Zhan Yao burst intoughter, Little Princess, your life is too innocent. Did that mean there was no need to check on her? Mo Weiyi: After a while, she said, Tian Ye is indeed pathetic, but thats not a valid excuse to be a mistress. I didnt expect Little Princess to have such a strong moralpass, is it that all females studyingw like you have such a clear distinction between love and hate? Zhan Yao wasughing off the matter. I dont know about others, but as for me, if anyone dares to covet my husband, I wont let her have an easy time. Zhan Yao on the other end of the phone felt a sudden chill on his back. He suddenly felt that the Little Princess, who seemed soft and weak on the surface, might not be as innocent and harmless at heart.
    After all, shes the daughter of the Mo Family. Back in the day, the old Mr. Mo managed to survive among so manypetitors and became the most powerful one. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons. Although Mo Yaoxiong was a disappointment, could it be inherited every other generation? Instead, it was Mo Weiyi who took up the mantle of Old Mr. Mo? Its hard to say. ** After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi came out of the bathroom to see that Xiao Yebai was out of bed and even changed out of his hospital clothes. Why are you changing clothes? Xiao Yebai replied calmly, Didnt you ask me to bring you a gift? Ah? Mo Weiyi stared nkly. Lets go. Xiao Yebai said, picking up his cellphone from the table. Where to? You will know once we get there. But your health Its not a problem. Mo Weiyi: Again, its not a problem. She wasnt at ease, so before leaving, she specifically asked the doctor for advice. After making sure it was safe to go out, she followed Xiao Yebai out of the hospital with peace of mind.
    Rong An was already waiting downstairs. After getting in the car, Xiao Yebai mentioned a ce. Sinuoke Racecourse. Mo Weiyi turned her head to look at the elegant and indifferent man, Racecourse? Xiao Yebai nodded.
    Going to the racecourse for Valentines Day? Mo Weiyi felt somewhat at a loss. However, this was the first time Xiao Yebai had taken the initiative to n a Valentines Day activity since they met. Upon thinking of this, Mo Weiyi suddenly had noints. She leaned against the man, rested her cheek on his chest, and said with a soft, coquettish voice, Have you prepared a surprise for me? Xiao Yebai looked at her, his hand touching her dark curly hair, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, What surprise do you want? Mo Weiyi: That sounds like theres no surprise. Forget it! She half closed her cat-like eyes, Im a bit tired, call me when we get there. Okay. After the incidentst night, despite being a false rm, since Rong Ans investigation turned up nothing, Mo Weiyi felt uneasy and had restless thoughts all night. Living for twenty years, she always found her life very simple. Apart from Xiao Yebai, it seemed that nothing could cause her any worries or anxieties. Yet, recently as she learned more and more, she suddenly realized that her life was so simple and smooth because many things were hidden from her.
    Likest night, it was clearly a premeditated attempt; it couldnt possibly be an ident. Given this, there could be other moves on the way. And Mo Weiyi had no idea who she had offended. This feeling of being in the light while her enemyid in the dark was utterly unpleasant. ** Meanwhile. In an old courtyard in the southern part of the city, Ling Zhizhou questioned the person on the other end of the phone, Was it you who arrangedst nights incident? So what if it was, and what if it wasnt? Didnt I tell you? Youre not allowed to touch her, this matter has nothing to do with you, neither do I need your help, youre not allowed to make any moves, do you hear me? Heh. A ghostlyugh came from the man, But the game has already started. What do you mean? The Mo family offended too many people in the past, not just your Ling family. You should learn to use others to your advantage, young man. The man ended the call after saying that. Ling Zhizhou squeezed his phone tightly, his handsome face growing stiff.
    The man had just sent over a piece of news. Although he finished reading it just as it was deleted, his intention was clear. He wanted Ling Zhizhou to see what he was capable of. A few minutester, Ling Zhizhou dialed Mo Weiyis number. The phone rang a few times before being picked up, and Mo Weiyis slightly tired voice came through, Whats up? Sister, happy holiday. Ling Zhizhous voice was clear and cheerful. Mo Weiyiughed on the other end, Are you referring to the Spring Festival, or Valentines Day? Both. Happy holidays to you too. Ling Zhizhouughed, and asked casually, Senior, are you okay? A ssmate sent me a post earlier, and only then did I find out you had some troublest night. Its okay, those were all spections made by the reporters. Oh, thats good. I was quite worried about you after I saw it, so I called to ask. I hope Xiao didnt misunderstand? He wouldnt. Ling Zhizhou nodded, Oh right, the final exam results are out, Senior, have you checked your grade yet?
    I didnt know, are they out already? In that case, Ill checkter. Okay, remember to tell me once youve checked. Sure. ** In the car, Mo Weiyi hung up the call, and instantly logged into Nancheng Universitys exam system on his phone. He was so nervous that he even entered the password incorrectly. After hardly inputting the correct password, they entered a tunnel, and the signal became poor. Such a nuisance. Finally, when the car left the tunnel, Mo Weiyi quickly lowered the car window in excitement. His continuous movements caught Xiao Yebais attention, What are you doing? Mo Weiyi didnt look back, The final exam results are out, Im checking my grades. The mans eyebrows twitched slightly. He watched as Mo Weiyi gripped his phone towards the window with an especially nervous look. As time ticked away, finally, Mo Weiyi put down his phone and turned to look at him. Xiao Yebai slightly raised an eyebrow, What happened? As expected, Mo Weiyi pouted, with a wronged expression, I didnt do well. Xiao Yebais lips curled up, What rank? Mo Weiyi replied, The tenth Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow. one. Xiao Yebai: Tenthone? Mo Weiyi was truly frustrated. She had really tried her best, so why was her English grade ranked eleventh in the ss? There were only thirty students in the Law program, so ranking tenth was not difficult. During thest two months, she had literally spent every day cramming her English textbook. Especially during thest month, due to the cold war between her and Xiao Yebai, she had almost spent every waking hour memorizing those few questions. And yet, she finished eleventh. Just one rank short! It couldnt be more dramatic than this. Xiao Yebai seemed to beforting her, Try harder next time. Mo Weiyi did not answer. Especially when she asked Su Wanwan and found out that she was ranked third in the ss. Well Mo Weiyi felt the blow was too heavy! It wasnt until the car stopped in front of the Sinuoke Racecourse in the outskirts of Nancheng that Mo Weiyis mood improved slightly, watching the blue sky and white clouds outside. Oh well, shell try harder next time. ** After getting off the car, and entering, Xiao Yebai directly took her small hand. There seemed to be few couplesing to the racecourse to celebrate Valentines Day. Moreover, the temperature in Nancheng was a bit low today, so there were even fewer customers. But this also made their trip easier since both of them were half-famous in Nancheng because of their good looks. Mo Weiyi was looking around while walking. This was her first timeing to such a ce, and she found it quite novel. After passing through a tall stone gate, there was an endless, neatly trimmedwn. Despite it being the cold winter month of February, thewn was still lush green. The strong scent of fresh grass mixed with the blue sky and white clouds, conveying a sense of deste beauty. Xiao Yebai led her all the way forward, eventually arriving at the in-built mall inside. He lowered his head to look at the girl beside him, Buy clothes. Horse riding clothes? Mo Weiyis eyes lit up. Yes. Then, should we get matching ones? Mo Weiyi immediately proposed. After all, its Valentines Day, there should be some sense of asion. Xiao Yebai looked at her radiant face, nodded, and let her choose. Mo Weiyi ran around, finally choosing a pair of ck and red-coloured matching horse riding outfits. The menswear was naturally predominantly ck, and the womens mainly red, but the design was exactly the same. After seeing buyers reviews, Mo Weiyi felt that they would look even better in them. After paying with her card, Mo Weiyi, clutching her clothes, looked at him coyly, But I dont know how to ride a horse. Will you teach meter? Didnt you just ride a couple of days ago? Upon his remark, Mo Weiyi was in confusion, When did I? The man didnt answer. Chapter 597: 597, this handsome Xiaobai is hers! Chapter 597: 597, this handsome Xiaobai is hers! Then, Mo Weiyi finally reacted. This Xiaobai, actually Her mouth twitched slightly and she couldnt help but mutter under her breath, Stinky Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai: Ahem ahem. The two arrived at the prearranged dressing room and started changing clothes. Mo Weiyi was not very good at dressing herself, she had to ask for help from the female staff. It took her a long while to get dressed. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt quite satisfied. Wow, the reddys equestrian outfit fitted her perfectly, making her look confident and charming! It had a somewhat seductive uniform charm. Especially since the material was designed to be slightly stretchy, it clung tightly to her when she put it on, entuating her perfect figure. It appeared that she was rather suitable for this type of clothing.
    Feeling delighted, she walked out of the changing room, and Xiao Yebai was already waiting outside. He naturally wore a mens equestrian outfit just like hers, mainly in ck with red ents. The simrly tight and form-fitting fabric outlined his tall and slender perfect body. Without sses, his face was handsome and sophisticated, and his schrly air carried a hint of intellectual elegance. Compared to his usual aloof, meticulous business elite image, he now looked like those heroic knights from the royal families of medieval Europe, distant and cold, and untouchable. Xiaobai, youre so handsome! Xiao Yebai bowed his head, fastened the buckle on her hat, took her small hand and said, Lets go. As soon as they stepped out, Mo Weiyi immediately felt the gaze of the women around her. She raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling quite proud. Because This handsome Xiaobai Hes her husband! Hes her man! They then arrived at the stable, and at first nce, the entire row of muscr and beautiful horses were raising their noble heads and kicking their front hooves, resembling proud princes, whinnying magnificently. The staff began the introduction. Which one was a famed swift horse, which one had a rare bloodline, which one had just won first ce in the horse racing arena at the ranch. Mo Weiyi listened and nodded along. Afterwards, Xiao Yebai directly led out a famed swift horse. The deep brown mane was gently fluttering in the cold wind, graceful and handsome, exhibiting an impressive aura. Looking at the horse, Mo Weiyi felt a rare sense of excitement, What about mine? Which one am I going to ride? Hearing her coquettishly soft voice, Xiao Yebai, who was always aloof and expressionless, faintly revealed a smile, Do you think this is a carousel?
    Mo Weiyi: Ill take you for a ride first, let you learn the basic movements. Okay. Out on the grass, Xiao Yebai led the horse by the reins. After a brief instruction on some basic operations, he helped her onto the horse.
    Mo Weiyi was a bit nervous, with both hands tightly gripping the reins, daring not to move. When she noticed that Xiao Yebai was leading the horse by the side, and that this horse was also very gentle, her heart gradually settled. The two of them just like that, one riding, the other leading the horse, walked back and forth on the grasnd, back and forth, back and forth walking non-stop. Soon enough, Mo Weiyi coughed and said, Are we just going to keep walking back and forth? This isnt horse riding, its more like horse-walking, right? Xiao Yebai asked, Have you learnt it? Yes. It was then that Xiao Yebai said to the staff on the side, Bring that small horse out. Yes, sir. The staff nodded immediately and turned to leave. Soon after, indeed, a small red horse was brought out. Mo Weiyi felt a bit awkward. However, although the horse was a bit small, it looked quite magnificent. Especially with its red color, it matched her outfits very well. When Xiao Yebai lifted her onto the small red horse, Mo Weiyi stroked the mother horses beautiful fur, Shes so beautiful. Xiaobai, can you take a picture of me? Xiao Yebai took out his phone, aimed it at her, and click had taken a shot.
    Mo Weiyi sighed, Take a few more. As expected of a straight man. When asked to take one picture, he really just takes one. No adjustments of angles, just straight-up shooting! Even though she is stunning, there must be some effort put into this, right? Change some angles. Crouch down and take the shot! This one, take it from the back. Chitter-chatter, all sorts of demands and angles. Xiao Yebai was holding his phone, continuously taking shots. Once he finished taking photos, Mo Weiyi peered at them, Wow, I didnt expect them to turn out this well? This seemed to be the first time Xiao Yebai had taken pictures for her. She had been worried that the photos, taken by a straight man, would end up with strange angles like she had often seen online.
    To her surprise, Xiao Yebai had a talent for photography, with each photo on her cell looking like a poster. Mo Weiyi curled up the corner of her mouth, Although, I think its because I am the beautiful subject. So any shot of mine looks great. Xiao Yebai said nothing, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Mo Weiyi handed his phone back and instructed, Dont delete them. Send all of them to meter. Okay. Xiao Yebai quickly moved beside a sweat horse and gracefully hopped onto it. His movements were fluid and suave. After mounting the horse, he gently nudged its belly with his legs, causing the horse to immediately gallop forward. With hismand, a young mare also slowly followed. Mo Weiyi held onto the reins nervously, following his instructions. Luckily, this mare was gentle and looked beautiful. It kept a gradual pace, slowly trailing behind the sweat horse. Until a ck steed galloped past them. The rider was in a red equestrian outfit. The figure looked like a woman? Mo Weiyi immediately asked, Xiao Bai, can we go faster? No.
    Mo Weiyi: Its dangerous. Mo Weiyi again: Alright then. She had no choice but to obedientlyply. Eventually, both horses trotted to the beginners circle. Xiao Yebai rode his horse to her side, and while walking, exined some horse behaviors. If a horse continuously shakes its head and neck, twists its body and tail, paws the ground alternately with its forelegs, or constantly sniffs loudly, it indicates that it is not emotionally stable and is easily irritated. If a horse carries its head and neck high, its tail is raised, its mane is flying, and its hoofs are off the ground, it indicates it is full of energy and good for riding. If a horses ears are drawn back together and pressed against its neck, and it gives you a threatening look, the horse is very angry and it is very dangerous at this time And so on. His voice was as calm and low as always. Mo Weiyi started listening intently, and by the end, she was dizzy with information. So Xiao Bai was able to speak at length. So Xiao Bai could ride a horse too. So Xiao Bai knew so much about horses. What a wonderful voice he had! He was handsome, intelligent, and would seed in business. He was indeed a perfect man. While she was gazing at him admiringly, there was a sudden sound of galloping hooves, immediately followed by a horses neigh. Before she could react, she felt the mare under her as if it had suddenly gone mad. The horse lifted its forehooves abruptly and violently jerked down. The incident happened so suddenly that she didnt have time to process it. She just held her reins tightly and the horses neighing became even more agitated. Mo Weiyi shrieked as her entire body tilted backwards. Everything happened chaotically before her eyes. When she was hysterical, suddenly a strong arm appeared. Then she was surrounded by a familiar scent. The man held the woman tightly as they fell onto the grass together. Because of the inertia, they rolled on the ground a couple of times before they stopped. Are you alright? A low voice came down from above. Mo Weiyi opened her eyes in shock, her face pale and her voice trembling, Xiao Bai, are you okay? She was lying on top of Xiao Yebais body. He was lying on the ground with his arms tightly wrapped around her, one hand on the back of her head, in a protective posture. Im fine. Xiao Yebai said with a straight face, but his brows were knitted in concern. Are you really okay? Mo Weiyi asked, worried. She felt a little pain even though she had been protected, what about him? Hed just recovered from an illness and now this ident had happened. Mo Weiyi felt a bit regretful. If she had known this earlier, she wouldnt have asked for any gift. What if he got sick again from this fall? Im really fine, said Xiao Yebai as he propped himself up and helped her to her feet. The sound of hooves approached again, followed by a familiar male voice, Wow, what a coincidence? Mo Weiyi looked up. It was Ye Bei. Upon seeing his annoying smug face, Mo Weiyi instantly became angry, Bastard! Didnt you do this on purpose? These were truly unwee visits. She encountered Tian Ye in the hospital earlier this morning, and now she ran into Ye Bei on the ranch. Today was Valentines Day, why didnt these two sted men celebrate it together? Why did they eache one after another to ruin her day? Chapter 598: 598, Xiaobai: Call husband Chapter 598: 598, Xiaobai: Call husband Im sorry, I really didnt mean it. Ye Bei said, dismounting his horse gracefully, I had no idea you guys were here too. Im just horse-riding with a friend. He looked at Xiao Yebai, Yebai, how have you been? When were you discharged? Xiao Yebai didnt even bother to look at him, let alone reply. He simply ignored him. An awkward expression momentarily shed across Ye Beis face. Just as he was about to speak again, a round of hoofbeats apanied by a cheerful female voice echoed in the air. Ye Bei, what are you up to? A woman in red, incredibly poised and dashing, was rapidly approaching riding a red stallion. Mo Weiyi said immediately, It seems your girlfriend is looking for you. Who said shes my girlfriend? If she isnt your girlfriend, then is she your friends-with-benefits? You guys are horse-riding together on Valentines Day. Ye Bei wasnt offended, I was bored. She asked me out, so I thought why not.
    You guys carry on then, goodbye. Mo Weiyi finished speaking and draped his arm over Xiao Yebais. Xiaobai, lets go. The woman hastily rushed over, only to see Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi leaving. She pulled on the reins, her beautiful eyes lingering on their retreating figures. Ye Bei, isnt that man Mo of the Mo Family? Ye Bei looked at her, Why? Does Miss Zhou also know Xiao? Who doesnt know the head of the Mo Group? Are you friends with him? Zhou Yunong asked. Yes. We attended the same research institute in America. Really? What a coincidence! Seeing the surprise in the womans eyes, Ye Bei continued, We get along quite well. Really? As expected, Zhou Yunongs entire face lit up. Want to meet him? Zhou Yunong nodded. Ye Bei smiled and said, Then when the opportunity arises, Ill arrange a meetup. We could all hang out together. That would be great! Zhou Yunongughed. The youngest daughter of the Zhou Family, Zhou Yunong, was spoiled just like Mo Weiyi and was regarded as a little princess. However, she lived a chaotic private life and had a bad reputation. Protected by the Zhou Familys status in Nancheng, she has always been unbridled, seeking whatever she desires, including men. She even publicly fought with her own cousin over a pop star not too long ago. Shes practically the female version of Chu Xiuhuang. The man she sets her eyes on usually can never escape. So this time, has she set her sights on Xiao Yebai? Ye Bei smirked, watching the disappearing figures in the distance, his smile growing deeper and full of implication. *
    * On the other hand, Mo Weiyi said, I really cant stand Ye Bei. How is he your ssmate? She even thought, Ye Bei must have spent a lot of money to get into that American Institute, right? Hello, we are making the final square-off in the market and ying around with women all day, looking so greasy!
    Every time she sees him smile, Mo Weiyi gets goosebumps all over. Its truly ufortable. Xiao Yebai asked, Were you scared? Mo Weiyi glowered at him, Im worried about you getting hurt. Your health just improved, dont make yourself spit blood again. Xiao Yebai faintly curved his lips, Are you that worried about me? Mo Weiyi pouted, seemingly still kind of upset. Xiao Yebai stared at her adorable sulking face. Her pouting lips, thick curledshes, and delicate white skin, even up close showed no pores or ws. His gaze didnt waver, but his fingers were subconsciously stroking her hair. Sudden hoofbeats came from the side, seeing which Mo Weiyi pushed him.
    He didnt budge. Nevermind then. Mo Weiyi also didnt bother looking. She could only hear a mans whistling and a womansughter, as the hoofbeats shift from far to near. Clearly, people were teasing them. This Xiaobai, really! Why does he appear to be increasingly fond of showing affection in public? Yet, he was such an introvert! Before she could finish her thought, Xiao Yebai pinched her rosy cheek. The corners of his lips curved, he seemed quite pleased. His voice was low, Does Weiyi like it? Mo Weiyis voice instantly became more tender and charming. Of course, I like it. Another gust of horse hooves resounded. Xiao Yebais dark eyes narrowed, his voice became husky, Do you want to ride again? I want to. Mo Weiyi whined, But Im afraid to ride.
    She was naturally timid, plus she had just been thrown off earlier, which did frighten her a bit. But watching others ride gantly on horseback, especially the women, was simply too entrancing. His elongated fingers squeezed her chin, Xiao Yebai looked into her clear ck and white eyes, which openly expressed longing and envy. Just like that, he blurted out, Ill take you for a ride. How? Xiao Yebai let go of her, walked over to the sweat steed, gracefully mounted it, and then extended his palm to Mo Weiyi. What for? Mo Weiyi raised her small head. Underneath her little red hood, her beautiful cat-like eyes were wide open, filled with confusion and perplexity. Get up. Mo Weiyis eyes lit up, but quickly Can this horse support the weight of both of us? It can. This sweat horse is the strongest horse here. as Xiao Yebai spoke, he stroked the horses glossy and shiny fur. The horse immediately lifted its head proudly, neighed, and began to kick the ground with its hooves, appearing formidable and impressive. Mo Weiyi couldnt help butugh.
    She walked over and ced her hand on his broad one. With a pull from Xiao Yebai, she was lifted onto the horse, sitting in the mans arms. At a neigh from the horse, it began to dash swiftly on the grasnd. Mo Weiyi felt fully protected by him. In the beginning, her mind was scattered, but when she saw Xiao Yebai focusing on riding, she stopped her random thoughts and started enjoying the thrill of galloping on horseback. With Xiao Yebai protecting her, she felt an overwhelming sense of security. The two of them rhythmically rose and fell together on horseback, the wind whooshing past their ears, all her blood seemed to be fervidly boiling, the wind that had initially felt chilly was now reced with surging passion. All the trees around them raced by at an astonishing velocity, blue sky, white clouds, green fields In that moment, it felt as if the universe was reduced to the two of them alone, the thrill of galloping swept over them spontaneously. Past the field, over the hill, across an artificial river, they finally arrived in front of a Christian Church. The horse finally halted, Mo Weiyi panted heavily, her heart pounding forcefully, unable to calm down. The sweat horse began to pace slowly, as though it was letting them adjust, until Xiao Yebai suddenly pulled the reins, mping his legs and the horse immediately galloped towards the church. Mo Weiyi was somewhat surprised. Upon reaching, Xiao Yebai dismounted first, then extended his hand and carried her down the horse. What are we doing here? asked Mo Weiyi. Xiao Yebai stayed silent, leading her towards the church. The main door was open, the interior not lit, rows of seats remained empty. Mo Weiyi clung tightly to the mans hand, following closely behind him. Reaching the front, Xiao Yebai motioned for her to sit down on a chair. Sitting there, Mo Weiyi felt quite bewildered. She watched as the man walked up to the stage, press something, and suddenly a curtain slowly drew back. Then, all the lights in the church illuminated the ce. A white piano stood there. This is Xiao Yebai had already walked over and sat down, lifting the cover of the keyboard, his graceful fingers pressing the keys and a slow, beautiful melody echoed in the air. Mo Weiyi was first shocked, then she wanted tough, and finally, a smile slowly lit up her face. She never thought that he would actually pay heed to her words from the day before. To think that, he had nned such a surprise for her! Such a reserved and taciturn man, would actually go to lengths to create a church for her and y the piano, all because of something she had casually mentioned. This Valentines Day really felt unique. Taking her horse-riding, and even ying the piano for her, even though she didnt understand the melody. Only after the song ended, did Xiao Yebai stand up and walk over to her, Did you like it? Mo Weiyi stood up, her gaze following the handsome outline of his face, her hand slowly resting on his shoulder, she asked coquettishly, Xiaobai, was this a surprise for me? Did you like it? Xiao Yebai asked again. Mo Weiyi nodded, I did. Having said that, she tiptoed andnded a kiss on him, This is your reward. Just as she wanted to step back, she was swiftly scooped up into his arms, Call me husband. Mo Weiyi blushed, took her own sweet time and finally mustered some words, uttering coyly and obediently, Husband. The man tightened his grip on her instantly. The chill that had earlier seeped into her body while horse riding, seemed to have been reced with his warmth. When it was all over, Mo Weiyi suddenly eximed, Oh no, were in trouble! The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 599: 599, CEO Xiao and his beloved wife are inseparable. Chapter 599: 599, CEO Xiao and his beloved wife are inseparable. No! No! Mo Weiyi suddenly cried out. What happened? I forgot to take pictures and post them on my WeChat Moments. Xiao Yebai: He wants to take more pictures? Go back to where you were sitting, Mo Weiyi rushed. I want to take a picture. Xiao Yebai once again: Hurry up. Coughing lightly, Xiao Yebai moved back to the piano and began ying another piece. This time, Mo Weiyi recognized the song. It was Joe Hisaishis Castle in the Sky, the theme song from Hayao Miyazakis animated movie Castle in the Sky. Mo Weiyi was initially just taking photos with his phone, but eventually ended up recording the whole performance. Once the song finished, Mo Weiyi uploaded both the photos and the video. Soon, thements started pouring in from his friends and acquaintances on WeChat Moments. A fine feeding frenzy for us singletons by Princess Mo! Who knew CEO Xiao could y the piano? Show off! 66666 Forget this, I want to see screenshots of your red envelopes! Wheres the roses and jewelry? Mo Weiyi even sent the video to a group chat with his best friends and specifically mentioned Shi Huan and Su Wanwan. How did you two spend Valentines Day? Almost immediately, Shi Huan replied: Working. Mo Weiyi: They remained at the stables until three or four in the afternoon. Concerned for Xiaos health, Mo decided it was time to leave. But as they were leaving, a horde of reporters suddenly appeared as they exited the gates. Thrusting their cameras and microphones high in the air. Someone shouted, CEO Xiao ising out! Like ants to a honey pot, the crowd descended upon them. The sudden onught startled Mo, and she subconsciously clung to Xiaos arm and bowed her head. This was exactly like the previous night. Quickly they were surrounded and bombarded with questions from the reporters. CEO Xiao, what is your view on the rumors of your wifes ndestine meeting with Chu Xiuhuangst night? Its said that Chu Xiuhuang and Ms. Mo have always had a secret rtionship, did you know about this? Weve heard that your marriage is a sham and that youre staying together primarily for financial reasons. Is this true? When the news broke on the forumsst night, it was quickly removed, does this indicate that theres some truth to the rumors? Are you feeling guilty and trying to suppress the scandal? CEO Xiao, are you spending Valentines Day with your wife today just as a front for the media? CEO Xiao Mo continued to keep her head down, burying her face further into Xiaos chest, as he covered her ears with his hands. Suddenly, the usually icy,conic Xiao Yebai calmly replied, I trust my wifes character. The terse CEO actually directly answering reporters questions? This made them even more excited. CEO Xiao, does this meanst nights allegations are merely rumors? So Chu Xiuhuang and Ms. Mo are just regr friends? So Ms. Mo was falsely used? Given these circumstances, what are your ns on handling these rumors? This is purely a fabricated story. I have informed the police, but it would be inappropriate to borate further at this time. Xiao Yebais words, though void of emotion, left no room for doubt. The reporters were instantly silenced. It seemed that these were just forum rumors after all. Even amidst all the bustle, Xiao Yebai maintained calm, his arms protectively enveloping the woman who was hidden from sight. Ms. Mo, would you like to say anything regarding this incident? Suddenly, a nosy reporter decided to target Mo Weiyi. Rong An, who was nearby, immediately approached, grabbing the reporter by the arm and guided him away. Despite the actions of Rong An, she called out to him, Rong An. Rong An halted. Every camera was then turned towards Mo, who had decided to reveal her face. She leaned against Xiao, her long curls gracefully draped over her shoulders, presenting an image of enthralling elegance. She spoke, No matter what I say, you might not believe me and may misinterpret it in the newspapers. Instead Rong An looked at the princess of his household as she dered this, then suddenly raised her head. In front of all the reporters, she went ahead and Xiao Yebais eyebrows lifted slightly, then he pulled her closer into his embrace. Half an hourter, a provocative snapshot of their passionate kiss was rapidly spreading across forums and Weibo. The headlines read: [CEO Xiao and Beloved Wife Seen Acting in Concert, Vowing to Sue Defamers!] [Mos Little Princess Fearlessly Defends Fianc, Public Disy of Affection at the Stables!] [Model Couple Refutes Divorce Rumors with Public Kiss!] [Romantic PDA at Stables, CEO Xiao Celebrates Valentines Day with Beloved Wife!] Huangyou Group. Seeing the headlines and photos, Chu Xiuhuangs eyelid began twitching. Damn it. He was supposed to be the main attraction, what was the princess ying at? Barging in suddenly and kissing Xiao in public andnding on the trending topics? Was she deliberately opposing him? He and Xiaohuan had slipped to the second position in the trending list because of her! His phone rang, and Chu Xiuhuang answered irritably, Hello? Ahuang, when are you bringing your girlfriend home? His father urged from the other end, She was on the news. This girl seems pretty good, certainly better than those cheap foxes you used to date. Uh-huh. I cant hear you. Uh-huh. Old man Chu: Outside, the office bustled with typical office chaos. Can I have Shi Huan, please? a courier called out. Shi Huan looked up in surprise, as Xiaoliu spoke up, Shi, someone is looking for you! The deliveryman then approached Shi Huan, Miss Shi, these flowers are for you. Please sign here. Shi Huan nced in astonishment at the enormous bouquet of red roses. A truly enormous bouquet! The buds were tightly packed, their fiery red petals emitted a strong, fragrant scent. For me? Yes, its a bouquet of 521 roses. Please sign here. As the courier finished speaking, gasps could be heard from the office, quickly followed byments: Wow, 521 roses! Doesnt that mean I love you? Its such a huge bouquet. How much does it cost? Several thousand? Sister Shi, your boyfriend is so romantic! Shi Huan said, I dont have a boyfriend. I get it now, it must be someone whos pursuing you! Xiaoli teased with a smirk. Shi Huan, holding the roses, searched for a long time in the bouquet and indeed found a scented card. Out of thousands of people, I can recognize you at a nce, because others are walking on the road, but you, youre walking in my heart! Xiaoliu read aloud from the card with quite a loud voice. Then, the whole room erupted with a chorus ofughter and teasing. Wow, this cheesy pickup line is something! Its so cringeworthy! Oh my, today Im just green with envy because of Sister Shi. Lets all bask in our jealousy together! There werent many people in the secretarys office, but they were mostly women, all enthusiastically gossiping. Amid ambiguous nces from everyone, Shi Huan suppressed the impulse to roll her eyes, and put the roses on Xiaolius desk, For you. Xiaoliu was surprised, Ah, for me? Yes, I have a phobia for clusters. Shi Huan said, then returned to her seat. Sister Shi, you are way too generous! Exactly, there are 521 roses! Who sent it? Sister Shi? Shi Huan got annoyed by their questioning and blurted out, It was sent by a pig. Considering this ostentatious gesture and the cheesy pickup line on the card, and thinking back on someones unusual behavior recently. She doesnt know any other men, and no other man would send her roses on Valentines Day, especially not 521 of them. Such a mboyant gesture, she hardly needed to think to be certain that the flowers were sent by Chu Xiuhuang. Inexplicably, Xiaoliu got 521 red roses and was beyond thrilled. The others were moring for them too. Taking advantage of everyone in the secretarys office dividing up the roses, Shi Huan got up and went straight to the restroom. Just as she was finishing in the bathroom, her phone rang. LuoLuo sent her a WeChat message, Wanwan, what are you doing? Shi Huan replied with a smile, LuoLuo, are you sneaking around on your phone? Be careful, I might tell your mom! Before LuoLuo could respond, a noisy female voice suddenly rang out from outside, Did you see that? That Shi Huan threw away all the roses that General Manager Zhou sent her, 521 ones! They must have cost over ten thousand yuan! She sure didnt hesitate! Was she doing it on purpose? an annoyingly familiar female voice questioned. What do you mean? Dont you know? Shes already slept with that General Manager Wu, and received quite a few benefits. She threw away the flowers on purpose, just to act high and mighty! Really? Thats hard to believe. Ohe on, thats why they say green tea bitches are difficult to deal with! If not for having a thing with Young Master Chu, do you think she would have been able to gain so much over these years? It doesnt look like it. Shes dressed up everyday like an old virgin, youre saying shes really depraved in private? What do you know? Thats exactly what men are into! On the surface, shes prim and proper, but privately, doesnt she open her legs to any rich man she sees Bang! The sudden loud noise startled the three women at the washstand. When they turned around, to their surprise, they saw Shi Huan exiting from a stall, a variety of expressions crossing their faces. Shi Huan recognized one of them as a colleague from the business department who had apanied them to lunch that day. Another one was a coworker from the living department, who seemed to be named Chen Yi and sat in front of her. The third one she didnt recognize, but she figured she must be from the business department. She smiled faintly, If I were you, I would definitely check whether theres anyone else in the restroom before gossiping. The restroom was deathly silent. The three of them, knowing they were at fault, held their tongues despite their indignation. Shi Huan casually washed her hands. Before leaving, she turned to them, Your mouths stink so much, theyre a perfect match for this toilet. You can take your time washing up, just make sure its thorough, dont worry about wasting water. Before those three could react, she had already walked out. As soon as she returned to the office, Assistant Xiaoli called her, Sister Shi, Young Master Chu wants to see you. Okay. Shi Huan immediately stood up and went to the CEOs office. She knocked on the door and heard a deep voice from inside say, Come in. She pushed the door open, Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuang, sitting in the ck office chair, his shoes propped up, looked at her leisurely, Little Huanhuan, have dinner with me tonight. Shi Huan said coldly, Master Chu, I believe Ive made myself very clear. About what? Ive received the flowers from Master Chu, and I Who sent you flowers? Shi Huan was stunned. Some random man? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, Did you receive flowers from some random man? Shi Huan frowned, Master Chu, werent the flowers sent by you? This is awkward. She was reading too much into it. She thought the flowers were sent by Chu Xiuhuang Sure enough, Chu Xiuhuang darkened his handsome face, Who sent them? Shi Huan said, I dont know. There was no name. Where are the flowers? Thrown away. After hearing this, the expression on Chu Xiuhuangs face improved a bit, Hmm, dont ept flowers from random men. You can only ept mine! He asked again, Is work very busy today? Its manageable. Shi Huan answered conservatively. Okay, get back to work, Ill look for you this evening. Alright. Shi Huan didnt ask further. If she did, she would probably have to endure his longwindedness. She was about to leave. Oh yes, send out a notice that anyone who finishes their work this afternoon can leave early. Okay. Alright, go back to work now. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her tenderly, while nning his arrangements for the day in his mind. Should they go to the revolving restaurant in Nancheng? Or should they go to the couples room at the Huashang Restaurant? Or Would it be better to go straight to a hotel? * * * Just before finishing work, her phone rang, Shi Huan picked it up and took a look. Zhu Mingpeng? She answered the call, Mr. Zhu? Huanhuan, did you receive my roses? Shi Huan was both astonished and speechless, Were those flowers from you? 521 roses! She couldnt believe that this Zhu Mingpeng, whom she barely knew, would send her 521 roses. It was simply outrageous. Chapter 600: 600, KO bit someone! Chapter 600: 600, KO bit someone! Yes, do you like them? They say girls like roses, so I ordered 521. How about it, arent the flowers nice? Mr. Zhu, Im sorry, but I think I made it clearst time that Im not nning to get married or find a boyfriend now. Huanhuan, I understand your concerns, but please trust me, I will make you happy. Why do you keep refusing me? Cant you give me a chance? Were both adults, I wont beat around the bush, I think youre great, Im very satisfied with you. Shi Huan replied, But I have no feelings for you. Zhu Mingpeng was stunned. Perhaps he hadnt expected her to reject him so directly. But soon, he said, Huanhuan, lets do this, Ive arranged a ce for dinner tonight,e join me. We can talk face to face. I want to show you my sincerity. Mr. Zhu, I dont think we need to meet, do we? Shi Huan really didnt want to waste needless time. Huanhuan, wont you even give me a chance to meet you? I have already booked a restaurant, if you wonte, then I will have to call Mrs. Shi. He kept babbling on and on. Shi Huan sighed in exasperation, Fine, which restaurant? Zhu Mingpeng immediately said the name of the restaurant. He knew it, Shi Huans greatest fear was her grandmother at home, and it worked. When Shi Huan heard the name, she frowned, You said, Xiaoye Garden? Xiaoye Garden, isnt that one of Chu Xiuhuangs properties? Although most of the investment was decided after discussion between Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan, Chu Xiuhuang also had his capricious moments. Like this private custom restaurant. It doesnt deliver, doesnt have takeout, does not take reservations. With all designs and materials selected by him, it has a ssy and unique ambiance, fit for business dinners. But the cost is so high that there are very few customers. Moreover, most of the customers are his close friends who leave without paying every time they go there. So, all in all, this restaurant lost quite a sum of money every month. ** In the presidents office. Chu Xiuhuang checked the time. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. He got up, opened the door and went out. Looking at the secretarys office, Shi Huans seat was empty. Wheres Little Huanhuan? Assistant Xiaoli, hearing the sound, got up quickly, Sir Chu, Secretary Shi went out on a date. Upon hearing the word date, Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows furrowed, What? A date? With whom? Where? When did this happen? Wasnt she supposed to finish her work early and wait for him to arrange things? And she went on a date with another man behind his back? Damn her! Chu Xiuhuang became angrier the more he thought about it, his handsome face turning dark and cold like a storm cloud. Xiaoli, frightened by his mood, turned pale and stammered, I I dont know, I just heard Secretary Shi mention Xiaoye Garden. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, Xiaoye Garden? Yes, I didnt hear anything else. Please spare me. Luckily, Sir Chu turned around and left right away, Alright, its a holiday today. You guys can leave early. Thank you, Sir Chu! Long live Sir Chu! Happy Valentines Day, Sir Chu! Chu Xiuhuang returned to his office, mming the door. He snatched a pen from the desk and threw it on the floor in anger. That damn woman! A date, huh? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, picked up his phone, and dialed a number. The call was picked up quickly. Fourth Brother, what are you doing? Working overtime. Working overtime on Valentines Day? Lu Chenyu was as terse as ever, Yes. Alright, bye. Immediately, Chu Xiuhuang dialed another number, Third Brother, what are you doing? On a date. Chu Xiuhuangs eyes widened, Date? Yes, dating our eldest brothers dog. Chu Xiuhuang: Sure enough, a howl from KO came over the phone. Impatiently, he said, Take the dog to Xiaoye Garden and wait for me. What for? Just do as I say. Why so many questions? Sir Chu wasnt happy. Nangong Ci retorted, If Secretary Shi isnt dating you, you turn to me. Am I your backup, huh? I wont go! Backup, youre not even worthy. Chu Xiuhuang sneered, his face darkening, Hurry up! If youre not there in ten minutes, Ill break your arm! Nangong Ci: ** Half an hourter. Xiaoye Garden. When Shi Huan arrived, Zhu Mingpeng was already waiting at the table. They sat in the main hall, Zhu Mingpeng ordered a table of romantic French cuisine, in addition, he also ordered a bottle of expensive Lafite. Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Zhu, you dont need to order so much. Zhu Mingpeng asked, Huanhuan, why are you wearing sses again? She was so beautiful and yet she covered her face withrge ck-rimmed sses. Shi Huan pushed her sses up, Im used to it. You look better without sses. Zhu Mingpeng immediatelyplimented. Shi Huan coughed twice, Mr. Zhu, I came today to make it clear to you that actually, I. Huanhuan, I like you! Zhu Mingpeng interrupted her abruptly. ** Meanwhile, in the upper box of the building. Nangong Ci looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Second Brother, whats wrong? Not in a good mood? He was just asking casually, but didnt expect Chu Xiuhuang to respond with a hm. Holy shit! Nangong Ci got excited, What happened? Quickly share it with me. Chu Xiuhuang furrowed his eyebrows tightly, then murmured after a long pause, I had a quarrel with my girlfriend. Nangong Ci burst intoughter, You mean Secretary Shi? Chu Xiuhuang gave him a disgusted look, Call her Second Sister-in-Law. Holy shit, Big Brother has a 20-year-old sister-inw, you have a 24-year-old one, and they are all younger than me. Have you ever thought about my feelings? You can find one too. Chu Xiuhuang said and suddenly stood up, Time to take action! Nangong Ci quickly followed, KO, lets go! KO, who was initially crouching on the ground munching on a bone, leaped up quickly upon hearing the call. Like a ck lightning shing by. Just as they reached the staircase, Chu Xiuhuang stopped, fixated on a certain spot downstairs, his facial expression also tensed up. Second Brother, whats wrong again? Nangong Ci was puzzled. Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes and observed for a while, finally he said, My girlfriend is cheating on me. Nangong Ci nced downstairs. Holy shit! Indeed, Secretary Shi was having a meal with a man! ** Huanhuan, what do you think of me? Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Zhu, Ive already told you that I dont have feelings for you. But Huanhuan, I liked you at first sight. I think youre really great. Considering you dont have a boyfriend now, and I dont have a girlfriend, I hope you can give me a chance to woo you, okay? After Zhu Mingpeng finished speaking, he eagerly watched the young woman in front of him. However, Shi Huan tly refused, Zhu Mingpeng, sorry, but I really dont want to have a boyfriend. Huanhuan, do you think Im too old? I am a few years older than you, but I know how to pamper my wife. Since my divorce, I havent dated anyone and focused all my energy on my career until I met you. Zhu Mingpeng looked sincere, Besides, I started apany with my friends and our business is doing well. Im the deputy general manager and also have a share in thepany. After we get married, I promise you wont suffer and I will help you take care of the elderly. I will make you happy! He thought his words were heartfelt, but Shi Huan was unmoved and responded with an icy Im sorry, but I dont n to get married either. Zhu Mingpeng drained the red wine in front of him and put down the ss with a clunk, his face had changed, Huanhuan, do you look down on me? Shi Huans eyebrows furrowed, Thats not what I meant. However, Zhu Mingpeng thought she was trying to cover up the truth and scoffed, Shi Huan, others may not know, but I understand your past very clearly. Six years ago, you were assaulted by an old man at the bar, became pregnant, and then had an abortion. Shi Huans face turned pale. No one outside the Shi family should know about this incident. How did Zhu Mingpeng know about it? Zhu Mingpengs words became increasingly harsh, To put it bluntly, you are no longer a pure woman. Its uncertain whether you can even have children. My mother said youre just like a hen that canty eggs. Who do you think would want you? What family would ept a woman like you? Not to mention that you brought bad luck to your grandfather and father, none of them have survived. None of the Shi family likes you. Youre a joke to them. Your reputation has already gone down the drain! Initially, I thought you looked decent and decided to give you an honorary title. But now it seems, since you refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit damn it! Zhu Mingpeng suddenly stood up from his chair. Shi Huan actually dared to ssh red wine on him! Not only did the wine get in his eyes, but it also soaked his face and clothes, leaving red wine stains that dripped down continuously. At first nce, it looked like a womans menstrual blood, making him appear extremely disarrayed. This was Xiaoye House, a high-end restaurant with private custom-made dishes. The consumption was high, and the customers who came here were of high status. During this New Year festivity, though there were not many people, themotion happening here attracted people from the next table to look over and point fingers, making his face turn the color of a pigs liver. Seeing Shi Huan getting up to leave, Zhu Mingpeng quickly grabbed her hand, Stand right there! Shi Huan fiercely shook his hand off, took all the money out from her wallet and smacked it on his face. Not only were there RMB notes, there were also coins. Right at that moment, Zhu Mingpengs face turned red from the impact. Amidst the embarrassment, Shi Huans voice rang out word by word, This is todays meal money. Whatever is left, use it to clean your clothes and wash your dirty mouth clean! Bitch! You filthy slut! Zhu Mingpeng was furious, his dignity trampled on. He couldnt take the humiliation and raised his hand to hit her. But at that moment, a beast-like whimper sounded, followed by a ck shadow leaping across like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Zhu Mingpengs hand was still hanging in mid-air and he suddenly let out a pig-like scream, Ahhhhhh! At the same time, the diners at the neighbouring table who were initially enjoying the drama were scared to their feet. Theres a dog biting someone, a wolf dog is biting someone! someone shouted. The sound of tes breaking could be heard amidst the shrill screams of women. The first floor lobby was immediately thrown into chaos. Shi Huan was surprised as she looked at the ck wolf dog. It appeared out of nowhere and bit Zhu Mingpengs ankle. Ahhhhhh! Zhu Mingpeng had already fallen to the ground, his mouth continuing to let out cries of agony. His face turned from a painful white to a sickly green. At first he tried to fight back, but the wolf dog turned aggressive, raising its paw and scratching his face, leaving bloody marks. The sight was horrifying. The people around were too scared to do anything rash. One, because the dog was huge, with ck fur all over, and looked fierce and terrifying. Two, because the dog was wearing a red cor with embedded diamonds, with a clear logo. Clearly, only the wealthy could afford to keep it. Three, this restaurant had a strict policy that pets were not allowed in, but this dog could freely enter and exit, indicating its owner was either rich or influential. Shi Huan snapped back to reality and hastily looked around. Then, she rushed over, Chu Xiuhuang, did you call this dog? Call it off now. Chu Xiuhuangs gloomy gaze slightly softened as hended on the womans small fair face, and spoke in a nonchnt tone, Im not its owner, so it might not listen to me. Shi Huan looked quickly towards Nangong Ci, Dr. Nangong, did you call the dog? Chapter 601: 601, you must take responsibility for me Chapter 601: 601, you must take responsibility for me Who would have thought, Nangong Ci was just as befuddled, Im not its owner either. Then whos the owner? Its Big Brother, but Big Brother isnt here right now. Shi Huan: Mr. Huos dog? KO kept barking and howling, apanying the hysterical screams emitted by Zhu Mingpeng. Shi Huan found the screaming annoying. Nangong Ci, seeing that things were spiraling, finally said, Second Brother, isnt that enough? Dont permanently disable him. Shi Huan was a bit frightened by the term disabled. Zhu Mingpeng, even though he has a foul mouth and a despicable character, doesnt seem to deserve this, does he? But Chu Xiuhuang has always been unafraid of causing trouble. He isnt concerned whether he bites someone to death or merely maims them. Shi Huan said, Chu Shao, this guy is my friend, would you be so kind as to let him go this time? Friend? Chu Xiuhuang sneered coldly, Do friends p you in the face? Shi Huan was stunned. He saw it? Did he also hear the words Zhu Mingpeng said just now? Ah, it hurts! Help! Someone save me! screamed Zhu Mingpeng in pain again. Shi Huan spoke up again, Chu Shao, teaching this kind of person a lesson is enough. If things truly escte, it wont look good for you either. Chu Xiuhuang stared at her, his gaze somewhat peculiar, Little Huanhuan, are you worried about me? Shi Huan nodded, Of course. She is Chu Shaos secretary, its only normal for her to be concerned about her bosss reputation. However, Chu Xiuhuang just curved his thin lips, and finallymanded, KO,e back. Hearing themand, KO immediately let go and came running back. The sullen huffs from the side suggested its dissatisfaction, The old mans flesh was too tough, it made KOs teeth ache! Nangong Ci looked at KO, his mouth twitching in annoyance. This exasperating dog usually doesnt listen to him. Whenever he takes care of it for Big Brother, he needs to coax it gently and carefully. So why does it obey Second Brother so easily today? Could it be It looks down on people? Xiao San, take that jerk to the hospital, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly directed. Nangong Ci was startled, Ciao, why should I take him? Im also very busy, you know? Because your family owns the hospital. Nangong Ci: Before he could protest, Chu Xiuhuang had already taken Shi Huans hand and walked away, leaving him with this chaos. * * Chu Xiuhuang hurried away. He has long legs and tookrge strides. Shi Huan had to jog all the way to barely catch up with him. Finally, they reached the outside road, where the cold wind was blowing. Chu Xiuhuang directly led her to a ck Maybach, opened the door to the drivers seat, Get in. Chu Shao, I drove here. Get in, Chu Xiuhuang repeated. His voice is low, but extremely threatening, especially paired with his handsome face full of anger. This expression, as if he caught his wife cheating on him. But, wait a minute, Shi Huan snapped back to reality, whats this about a wife cheating on him? How could she think like this? She quickly discarded the strange thought from her mind, Shi Huan then said, Ive never driven this car before. Its no different, Chu Xiuhuang said and pulled her arm, shoving her into the car. After Chu Xiuhuang got into the car, Shi Huan had already quickly familiarized herself with the cars operations. After starting the car and driving smoothly, she asked, Chu Shao, where are we going? Lets go for a drive. Okay. The ck Maybach began to wander the streets. This car is Chu Xiuhuangs own car, regal and unmatched. Shi Huan drove carefully, her heart equally cautious. Unsure of where he wanted to go, she was forced to meander aimlessly on the road. It was already past six in the evening, the lights were starting to shine. Its Valentines Day, so at a nce, you could see shops on the roadside filled with various heart-shaped balloons, couples holding hands and embracing, carrying roses, dolls, and other presents in their arms The entire ce was filled with the sweet atmosphere of the holiday. In contrast, the inside of the car was strangely silent. Until Youre two-timing. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said. Shi Huan quickly turned her head, What did you say? Youre two-timing, Chu Xiuhuang repeated. Im not, Shi Huan replied instinctively, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was not quite right. Why did it feel like she really cheated? Before she could say anything else, Chu Xiuhuangs voice interrupted, Okay, I believe you. Shi Huan: What the hell! Sheposed herself, continuing to focus on driving, only to hear Chu Xiuhuang speak again, Listen, I Chu Xiuhuang, do not like women who are fickle. Shi Huan nced at him. His side profile was stunningly handsome with a devilish smile ying at his lips. She felt slightly disoriented. Since youve be my girlfriend, you must always be aware of your behavior outside. You must avoid any suspicion, never meet men alone, especially the type of scum we met today, who dared to raise his hand against you. Its a good thing I was there, otherwise.. Wait, Shi Huan finally couldnt help but interrupt him, Chu Shao, since when did I be your girlfriend? Chu Xiuhuang just chuckled and shot her a sideways nce. Shi Huan was stunned by his look. What was that all about? Stop the car! At Chu Xiuhuangsmand, Shi Huan quickly pulled over. Then, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his finger and pointed out of the window, Look outside. Shi Huan turned her head and looked out of her window. After a while She asked with confusion, Whats outside? Youre not short-sighted, are you? Huh? Didnt you see the newsstand outside? This little dimwit! Chu Xiuhuang felt that he really had a lot of patience for the woman he liked. If it were any other woman who was this dim-witted, dare she be? Hehe, Ive already thrown her under the bus. Shi Huan looked closely and sure enough, there was a newsstand across the street. Hanging on it was the freshly printed gossip paper for the day, the red headline shocking: Chu Xiuhuang tightly embraces a mysterious girlfriend! Theyre like glue! Publicly disying their affection! Uh. All of Nancheng knows youre my girlfriend, Chu Xiuhuangs girlfriend. Are you still trying to deny it, huh? the mans deep voice echoed. Shi Huan felt her ears burn, she quickly turned her head, only to find Her brain seemed to explode with a whoosh! She jerked suddenly backwards. With a bang, she hit the car window. The sudden movement caused a sharp pain at the back of her head! But thankfully they had separated, and her face was as red as a boiled shrimp. Im sorry, Mr. Chu, I didnt mean to bump into you, Shi Huan immediately said. Its fine. Compared to her embarrassment and panic, Chu Xiuhuang remained calm and even a smile of pleasure curled his thin lips, Youre my girlfriend, you can touch me if you want, touch me anywhere, anytime. Shi Huan: Would you like to try somewhere else? Actually Chu Xiuhuang said, edging closer to her. Shi Huans eyes widened in surprise, and she tried desperately to shrink back, she was practically leaning against the car door, looking like she was avoiding him as if he were a snake or a scorpion. Heh. But in Chu Xiuhuangs opinion, she looked like a cute and shy little rabbit at the moment. Doesnt she know that a womans shyness only makes a mans urge to conquer stronger? Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, leaning forward, almostpletely hovering over the passenger seat, and looked closely at the helpless woman. Unlike the popr inte celeb with a snake-face, Shi Huan had a heart-shaped melon seed face. However, those thick ck-rimmed sses are really a killjoy! Chu Xiuhuang directly reached out, removed the annoying ck-framed sses from her nose, and quickly threw them out of the window. Shi Huans hand was on the steering wheel, caught off guard, by the time she reacted, her ck-rimmed sses had already been discarded. Mr. Chu! What are you doing? Shi Huan was speechless. Last time at the hospital, her sses had already been reimbursed by Granny Shi, and she had just bought a new pair. She hadnt worn them many days and theyre gone again. Chu Xiuhuangs thin lips turned up and he said frivolously, No sses allowed from now on. On what grounds? Because I dont like it. Shi Huan: Finally, Chu Xiuhuang had a good view of her face. Shi Huans face was small, her features delicate and pretty, with clear andrge almond-shaped eyes. At first nce, she had a hint of ssical beauty, seeming soft and weak. No make-up, no hairstyle, yet her skin was still gleaming white, no pores visible, almost wless. As they were so close, her breath was all within his reach. Mild and fragrant, a very clean and fresh scent. Mr. Chu! Shi Huan stretched out both hands, pressing at his chest, trying her best to push him away, her face flushed in anger and embarrassment. Axui. What? Shi Huan frowned. Didnt you call me Axuist night? Chu Xiuhuang grinned wickedly. Shi Huans lip twitched, That was just to get out of an awkward situation. But I think it sounds really nice when you call me by that name, keep calling me that. Chu Xiuhuang was actually speaking the truth. Shi Huans voice was a bit cold, and she spoke too seriously, always in an official tone, devoid of any emotion. He couldnt help but think that when they were doing that sort of thing, the sounds that she would make wouldnt be like this Where would Shi Huan know what Chu Xiuhuang was thinking? She hurriedly said, Mr. Chu, thanks for your help just now, but like I said, I wont be your girlfriend. I dont deserve you. Last night was really just to get out of an awkward situation. Well then consider me, Chu Xiuhuang, sticking to you. After all, I have ED, and no woman wants me, you should feel responsible for me. Shi Huan was somewhat lost for words. And. Chu Xiuhuang said, almost imperiously, Since you want to thank me for my help, how about treating me to a meal? Shi Huan couldnt quite keep up with his train of thought. After hesitating, she agreed, Sure. Chu Xiuhuang seemed satisfied, raised an eyebrow, let go of her, and moved back to his seat, Drive. Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Being so close to him, made her feel uneasy. Is there anything wrong with returning to the proper boss-secretary rtionship? Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone, dialed a number, Well be there in half an hour, is everything ready? After hanging up, Shi Huan couldnt help but ask, Mr. Chu, where are we eating? Gui Di. Upon hearing the name, Shi Huan almost fainted. Gui Di. It seems that shes going to be ripped off today. * * After another half an hour, the Maybach came to a stop in front of the Gui Di clubhouse. After getting out of the car, Chu Xiuhuang walked ahead without saying a word. With his long strides, he quickly reached the entrance, where a servile waiter greeted him, Good to see you, boss, happy Valentines Day. He then turned to Shi Huan, and only after a while managed to exim in surprise, Secretary Shi? Shi Huan nodded, not thinking much of it. Among all the projects Huangyou invested in, Gui Di was the most famous, and also the ce where Chu Xiuhuang frequented the most in private. As such, the servers here were familiar with Chu Xiuhuang, the boss, and even more familiar with her, the secretary. They entered the clubhouse together. The server followed behind them, his mind wandering. The boss had asked them to prepare the private room in the afternoon, saying he would bring a woman for dinner in the evening. They thought he would bring a celebrity or ady from a wealthy family, but they never thought It would be Secretary Shi! Whats going on? And Secretary Shi without her sses actually looked quite pretty. Could it be The boss is having an affair with the little secretary! All came to fruition on Valentines Day! The waiter was inexplicably excited and thrilled by his discovery, even his steps felt lighter. Chapter 602: 602, Master Chu, you really know how to have fun! Chapter 602: 602, Master Chu, you really know how to have fun! It was already seven oclock in the evening. The clubhouse was particrly crowded due to the holiday, with the lobbypletely filled with people. The scent of fine wine and food filled the air, apanied by the rich aroma of roses. The waiter led the two of them straight to the elevator and they finally arrived at the Fire Emperor private room on the sixth floor. It was Chu Xiuhuangs private room. The dining table inside was already set up. The white tablecloth draped over the rectangr table, with two sets of Western cutlery systematically ced at both ends of the table. In the middle were two elegant ssicalmps, each holding a white candle. The red candlelight jumped and flickered. It was evident that the room had been painstakingly decorated. Pink roses were ced everywhere, with red rose petals scattered all over the floor, along with all sorts of pink and red balloons, streamers and so on. Multiple colorful lights hung on the side wall, emitting gentle glows, and various pink heart-shaped paper cutouts were stuck on the ss wall. The faint scent of roses pervaded the air, giving off an ambiance of ambiguity. Shi Huan was slightly taken aback, Mr. Chu, whats this? Its Valentines Day, dont you know? Chu Xiuhuang raised his long eyebrows, with an indifferent attitude, Sigh, the staff knew I wasing to dine and insisted on arranging thisvish setting. Theres no option but to put up with it. Shi Huan: Alright then. Not long after they sat down, the door was pushed open. Several waiters walked in second, each carrying a tray and began to serve their dishes. The table was gradually filled with decadent and ample French-style meals. Steak,mb leg, snails, foie gras and red wine, along with a variety of side dishes. The dishes were exquisitely ted and the sauce was delectable, which was quite a feast for the eyes. Everything was a luxurious feast! Compared to the dishes that Zhu Mingpeng ordered at Xiaoye Garden before, these were definitely superior. After all the dishes were served, Chu Xiuhuang asked, Little Huanhuan, is this enough food? Yes, yes, yes! Shi Huan almost stuttered. Chu Xiuhuang could not help butugh, keeping his chuckle suppressed. He wiped his fingers clean with a wet tissue, then took his knife and fork and started cutting the steak. With a thin lipped smirk, his movements were elegant yet brisk and smart. His expression was focused and handsome while cutting the steak, as if he were not cutting steak but rather, a treasured masterpiece. But Shi Huan was not in the mood to enjoy the food. One, because she had already eaten enough earlier. The second reason was that she was in pain! This meal must cost tens of thousands at least, right? It seemed that all the money she had earned from nursing Chu Xiuhuang during his hospital stay was going to be spent on this meal. While she was still in her thoughts, Chu Xiuhuang ced the cut steak in front of her. Shi Huan hesitated for a moment and hurriedly said, I wont eat anymore. Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows and smiled, Why not? Do you not like the food here, Little Huanhuan? Shi Huan forced a smile, No, I just ate too much earlier. And you could eat with that disgusting man? Shi Huan: Im not eating anymore! Chu Xiuhuang suddenly dropped his knife and fork and then rang the service bell. Shi Huan looked at him, her face full of confusion. Whats going on now? Theres a whole feast on the table. He hasnt eaten a bite, and now he is not going to eat? The waiter quickly walked in, Boss, what can I do for you? Bill, please! The waiter was taken aback. What in the world was the boss doing? Isnt this his own club? Chu Xiuhuangs phoenix eyes turned cold, Are you deaf? The bill! Yes. The waiter, all terrified, quicky took out his mobile phone. After a while, Boss, the total is one hundred and ny-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan. Shi Huans eyes jumped, her voice audibly raised in shock, How much? Secretary Shi, the total is one hundred and ny-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan. The waiter repeated. Is it that expensive? Shi Huan didnt want to seem like a person who hadnt seen the world before, but Oh my God, this is too expensive! Yes, this bottle of wine alone is worth one hundred and ny thousand yuan. The waiter exined in a slightly unnatural expression. Shi Huan looked at the bottle of red wine, her face full of despair. The wine worth one hundred and ny thousand yuan, he only took a sip. At this moment, Chu Xiuhuang spoke, Whats wrong? Is Little Huanhuan thinking that the dishes I ordered are too expensive? Although he said so, there was no sign of guilt on his face. Shi Huan looked at him, biting her lip, her small face tense, remaining silent. Chu Xiuhuang could barely hold back hisughter. After several coughs to suppress his smile, he then took out a ck card with all seriousness and handed it to the waiter, Just use my card then. Ah? The waiter was shocked yet again. Whats going on? The boss eating in his own restaurant has to pay using his own card? Chu Xiuhuang smiled, Dont understand, huh? The waiter shook his head. He didnt understand. Who could understand the bosss train of thought? Chu Xiuhuang continuedughing devilishly, Today, Secretary Shi is treating me to this meal. Do you understand now? I understand, sir. Barely holding back hisughter, the waiter epted the card and hurriedly left. Just as he closed the door, he heard Chu Xiuhuang say, Its okay. When you have money, you can pay me back. The waiter almost slipped and fell. The truth was that this is your property and youre using your own card to pay for a meal at your own restaurant, but you still want Secretary Shi to owe you that much money Boss, you sure know how to y! The door closed and silence returned to the private room. Shi Huan sat there, listless. She couldnt help it, as out of nowhere, she suddenly owed a debt of nearly 200,000 RMB. How can she keep her spirits up? Chu Xiuhuang watched at the sulky little woman in front of him, his deep eyes filled with amusement. She looked just like an agitated little bunny. Her cheeks were puffed out in frustration, which made her look unbearably adorable. Had they not been sitting face to face, their distance too great, he would have really liked to poke her cute chubby cheeks With a ng, the box door was suddenly pushed open. Big brother! A sweet feminine voice came in. Shi Huan lifted her head and saw a young girl entering. It seemed to be one of Chu Xiuhuangs cousins. She was probably in her early twenties, with short hair that fell to her ears, she was on the slim side, dressed in a purple waist-cinching dress, delicately made-up, and she wore a bright smile. Big brother, so you are really eating here, such a coincidence, our family is having our meal downstairs, Sister Jingyi is also there. As she was speaking, she proceeded to look around the box. Then she turned to Shi Huan, her face full of hostility, Who are you? Dressed so simply, eating with her cousin, and also with so many roses present? It was Valentines Day. Could they be dating? But this woman looked so ordinary. Leave. It was Chu Xiuhuang who spoke. Jian Xiaoman pouted, Big brother, you are having a date with a woman here, are you afraid I might tell our aunt? Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, he was bing a little impatient, Are you leaving or not? Big brother, you Jian Xiaomans face went through myriad emotions as she was bluntly told to leave. However, it was clear that she was truly afraid of Chu Xiuhuang. Although this cousin of hers was usually entric, he was truly frightening when he decided to be serious. Especially right now, with his narrowed eyes and thin lips, an aura of chill sweeping out. She stomped her feet, red bitterly at Shi Huan, then finally turned and left. Just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to speak, the ringing of a cell phone suddenly interrupted. Shi Huan took out her phone and took a nce, then immediately stood up and said, Ill go answer a call. ** What is the matter with you? In the corridor, the furious voice of Grandma Shi came over the phone, Why did you set your dog on Zhu Mingpeng? Shi Huan frowned, This was an ident. He was the first to scold me, so my friend just She didnt get to finish her sentence before she was cut off. If you dont like him, thats one thing. But why did you have to injure him so badly? Do you know, Zhu family only has this one son. Now his injuries are severe, with scars on his face and bite wounds on his feet. I heard it even reached his bones. Madam Zhu was so worried she had a heart attack. Now the entire Zhu family, old and young, are all lying in hospital, demanding that our Shi family provide an exnation. Now you want to shirk off your responsibility by saying that he was the first to insult you? Hurry up and get to the hospital, you must personally apologize to Zhu Mingpeng! You have half an hour, did you hear me? Before Shi Huan could reply, the call was abruptly hung up. As she stood there with a furrowed brow, she suddenly felt a strong push against her arm from behind. Then there was a crash, as if something had fallen on the ground. Shi Huan recovered her senses and turned to see Jian Xiaoman standing before her. She picked up a red iPhone from the ground and started to holler, Dont you have eyes when walk? You broke my phone, you have to pay for it! Shi Huan looked at her somewhat speechlessly, Miss Jian, I was standing perfectly still, it was you who ran into me. Who doesnt know that you purposely stood here? Only rich mene in and out of Jin Di. Werent you here to hook up with one? Youre not exactly good-looking, but you sure have big aspirations. But shouldnt you be a little prepared? Dressed like that, which man would look at you? Her words were harsh, and she made sure they were loud. Shi Huans position was close to the outside, where several couples were dining. When they heard the noise, they immediately turned to look. Even some eager busybodies came forward, whispering among themselves. Not far away, a figure in red suddenly stopped and silently observed the scene. Your entire outfitbined wouldnt cover a single ss of wine here. If youre not here to hook up some guy, who would believe that? Jian Xiaoman continued to mor persistently. Shi Huan looked at her, her eyes narrowed. She suddenlyughed. What are youughing about? Jian Xiaoman red at her, perhaps because thisughter seemed too uncalled for C it was like as if she could see through everything, and was mocking her. She couldnt help but fly into a rage. Shi Huan said, Jin Di is equipped with surveince cameras everywhere. If you insist that I was the one who bumped into you, we can review the CCTV footage and see who is responsible. Who has time to watch the footage with you? My time is very precious! Jian Xiaoman hadnt expected this woman to be so sharp. She waved her hand and was about to leave, Fine, consider this as my bad luck today, Im doing you a charity, quickly go away. Wait a moment. Shi Huan was unwilling to let her off just like that. Did she think she could insult her and then leave? In your dreams! There were people watching from all around. She might have a good temper, but that didnt mean she was easy to bully! Especially when it concerned overbearing people like Jian Xiaoman who picked a fight out of nowhere. If she didnt give her a taste of her own medicine, she would be letting down Xiaomans splendid performance just now! Moreover, all she was is but a granddaughter-inw to the Chu family. The Jian family liked unting the Chu familys prestige and caused trouble everywhere. What do you want? Jian Xiaomans face changed slightly. Where did you buy this RLUUER dress you are wearing? Shi Huan asked. Jian Xiaoman was first stunned, then she rxed, confidently saying, You want to buy it? Can you afford it? In her opinion, Shi Huans dress waspletelycklustre, clearly a cheap product. A poor woman who cant afford RLUUERs dress, its absolutelyughable. Jian Xiaoman continued her onught. I just think that the imitation quality of your dress is quite good. Shi Huan pointed to the logo at the hem of her dress, her smile bright, But the R and L letters underneath the logo should be connected, but yours are separated. Aside from that, everything is good enough to fool people. What are you talking about? Jian Xiaomans face darkened again. This dress was RLUUERstest summer style, worth tens of thousands, she couldnt afford it at all. But today happened to be a family dinner, with a few cousin sisters present, and Chu Jingyi was there as well. Shes but a granddaughter-inw to the Chu family, and shes in a ce like Jin Di. Everyone in this situation was polite on the surface, but beneath it was apetition and a disy of superiority. How could she be left behind? Chu Jingyi had even mentioned that she liked her dress earlier, never would she have dreamed that it would be exposed publicly now! In this desperate situation, the only thing she guessed she could do was to me Shi Huan first, You country bumpkin, know what? Dont assume that everyone is as poor as you, buying knock-offs because they cant afford the real thing! Shi Huan remained unangered, and with a smile said, I dont really understand fashion, but, coincidentally, this brand recently contacted me for a partnership, so I did some study on their new spring collection. Jian Xiaoman: This must be a joke. Is it really this coincidental? Chapter 603: 603, Secretary Shi, Happy Valentine’s Day Chapter 603: 603, Secretary Shi, Happy Valentines Day Before she could speak, Shi Huan continued, If Miss Jian is still not convinced, I can find someone knowledgeable to authenticate it. Not far away, Chu Jingyi frowned. She was invited here by Jian Xiaoman, who said she saw Chu Xiuhuang having dinner with a woman who wasnt very attractive. It turned out so unexpectedly to be Shi Huan! Thinking about it, Shi Huan turned around and walked straight towards her, Miss Chu. Chu Jingyi knitted her brows, Whats it? Everyone should know Miss Chu, right? Chu Jingyi, almost everyone present recognized her. Miss Chu Family, the twin sister of the owner of the prestigious club, Chu Xiuhuang, was a well-known figure. Shi Huan nodded with a smile, Miss Chu has a discerning eye for branded clothes, especially since RLUUER is a well-known high-end brand. Could I trouble you to authenticate it? Chu Jingyis seductive eyes narrowed a bit. This Shi Huan! Intentionally praising her, putting her on a high pedestal. If she refuses under these circumstances, it implies she knows nothing about the high-end brand RLUUER, thereby pping her own face. But if she agrees, that means she is helping Shi Huan. And Jian Xiaoman is her cousin, the granddaughter of the Chu Family. After thinking for a while, she said, Indeed, I often wear clothes from this brand. If Im not mistaken, the dress that Xiaoman is wearing is indeed a high imitation. Hearing this, Jian Xiaomans face turned pale in an instant, Sister Jingyi, youyoudidnt you just The rest of her words were swallowed up by Chu Jingyis cold gaze. Shi Huan smiled faintly, Miss Chu is your cousin, she didnt point out your love for vanity to save your face in front of rtives and elders, it doesnt mean she doesnt spot the difference, she was merely being considerate. You thought she was ignorant because of that, and tried to deceive her and other rtives with this imitation. Dont you find your actions ridiculous, Miss Jian? In an instant, the crowd started chattering: This cousin really puts up appearances! Miss Chu indeed has a higher EQ! Its a pity, despite her consideration for the Chu Familys reputation, her cousin still disappoints! I heard long ago the Jian Family is like a leech, always wanting to mooch off the Chu Family! Really, if you cant afford it, dont wear imitations to y noble, its shameful! This is what they call swelling ones face to appear fat! Face p! A blunt face p! Jian Xiaomans face turned red and white in embarrassment as she was watched by everyone. Shi Huanughed unrestrainedly, feeling extremely refreshed. In Jian Xiaomans eyes, it could only be blinding. For the first time in her life, she had been pped in public, and everyone wasughing at her! Listening to the crowds discussion, Jian Xiaoman clenched her fists, her eyes red as if she wanted to kill. Without holding back her anger, she dashed towards Shi Huan shouting, You bitch, you bitch! Xiaoman, what are you doing? a familiar deep male voice made Jian Xiaoman stop abruptly. Seeing Chu Xiuhuang appear behind her unknown when, she was so scared that her heart was shaking, and her voice trembled, Big brother, II Chu Xiuhuang strode over. The man was tall and handsome, exceptionally elegantly dressed in a suit. He stood there like the wind, squinting his eyes, with a certain aura of contempt. Jian Xiaoman didnt dare to say a word. Chu Jingyi frowned slightly, Ahuang, have you been dining with Shi Huan? Chu Xiuhuang seemed not to hear her. His slender eyes narrowed, with lips pursed tightly, his face stern and cold, almost terrifying. Pressure emanated. Just when everyone thought he was going to lose his temper, he suddenly held Shi Huans hand and raised it. He separated her fingers one by one, and intertwined his fingers with hers. Everyone witnessed it clearly. Shi Huan was taken aback by this intimate act, Mr. Chu, what are you doing? She tried to pull her hand out, but Chu Xiuhuang held it firmly and whispered, There are so many people watching, save me some face. Shi Huan: In full view of everyone, Chu Xiuhuang confidently intertwined their fingers, lifting his lip slightly saying, Xiaoman, what are you trying to do to my girlfriend? After that, how could Jian Xiaoman dare to utter a word? Instead, Chu Jingyi on the side spoke again, Ahuang, what do you mean? When she saw the news this morning, she didnt recognize it, assuming it was some second-tier minor celebrity. Now looking at Shi Huans face without sses, she seemed to understand something. What do I mean? Cant you see it? Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and said arrogantly, Huanhuan and I are now boyfriend and girlfriend. Were showing off our affection, spreading dog food! Cant you really see it? On hearing this, there was an uproar in the audience. Some people had seen the news today, and some hadnt, all began whispering to one another. Is this Mr. Chus girlfriend? Is it the one in the newspaper today? It doesnt look like it! Shi Huan: She held back her words. After all, denying at this moment is clearly not a wise decision, as it would be akin to pping herself in the face. The showst night would have been wasted. Chu Jingyis exquisite face was somewhat distorted, Ahuang, do you know what youre doing? Chu Xiuhuang, however, pulled Shi Huan to turn around. They still held their hands tightly, but he raised his other hand high in the air, held up a finger and said arrogantly, Whoever dares to bully my woman in the future is challenging me, Chu Xiuhuang! There was silence at the scene. Chu Jingyi stood there, for a moment she was stunned by this Mary Sue scene and couldnt speak. ** Returning to the private room again. As soon as the door closed, Shi Huan immediately pulled back her hand. Chu Xiuhuang wasnt angry, he put his hands back in his trouser pockets, still looking like a smooth gentleman. It must be said that Chu Xiuhuang was indeed well suited to wearing suits. Tall and fit, a total clothes rack, especially paired with his unrestrained temperament, when wearing a suit, he had a kind of sophisticated and casual charm, which was very attractive to women. No wonder he had been so popr among women for so many years. But Shi Huan wasnt in the mood to appreciate it. Thinking of Chu Jingyis shocked expression just now, she was a little uneasy. Before she could figure out a way to handle it, there were two knocks on the door. Come in. The previous waiter came in, carrying arge bouquet of blue roses. Whats this? She watched as the waiter approached and directly handed over the bouquet. Happy Valentines Day, Secretary Shi, he said. Shi Huan was taken aback, For me? The waiter nodded, Today is Valentines Day. For every couple thates to our club to eat, we give a bouquet of roses. Shi Huan felt a bit awkward, But Mr. Chu and I are not a couple. The waiter nced at Chu Xiuhuang. Really? Seeing the cold nce from Chu Xiuhuang, the waiter immediately corrected himself, No matter, this is our clubsplimentary item. Every table of customers receives it. Sir, you can give it to thedy. As he said this, Chu Xiuhuang walked over with long strides, picked up the bouquet of blue roses and handed it to Shi Huan, Take it, after all, this meal cost you 190,000. Shi Huan was speechless. Did he just mention the 190,000? All the food was eaten by him! Then she nced at the bouquet. Well, she had to ept it. 190,000 for a blue rose. Its outrageous! Then, another waiter came in, carrying a series of exquisite trays. Shi Huan looked at them in surprise, Mr. Chu, what are these Valentines Day meal set, Chu Xiuhuang replied, Its all included in the 190,000 I mentioned earlier. Shi Huan: Alright. Waiters came in single file,ying trays of beautiful desserts, an exquisite fruit te, and two more each waving a glow stick at their sides. The room lights were turned off, the glow stick was crackling, sparks sshed, apanied by the candlelight on the table, creating an incredibly romantic atmosphere. As Shi Huan marveled, someone seemed to press a switch, and something began to flutter down from above. It was a shower of roses. Shi Huans mouth fell open,pletely stunned. She suddenly felt that the Valentines Day set, costing tens of thousands, seemed worth it. Other couples would find this very touching, right? When it was all over, Shi Huan immediately said, Mr. Chu, isnt this set a bit too costly for what it offers? Chu Xiuhuang cracked a smile, Is it really too costly? Yes, think about it. The cost of those drinks and meals is already high. Roses for Valentines Day are expensive too, plus so many rose petals and all this equipment its all money! 190,000 is a real loss! Chu Xiuhuang: Mr. Chu, why do you keep staring at me? Shi Huan blinked, feeling a bit ufortable under his gaze. Its nothing. Chu Xiuhuang arrogantly turned his handsome face away. This damned woman, even with all his meticulous preparations, she was busy calcting money, saying that its a loss! Her professional habits are too serious! Mr. Chu, weve finished eating. Can we go back now? Hmm, Chu Xiuhuang got up impatiently. Once outside, it was again Shi Huan who drove, and Chu Xiuhuang sat in the passenger seat like a grandpa. The ck Maybach slowly drove away. Not far behind, Jian Xiaoman quickly sent out the photos she had just taken. Sure enough, her phone rang shortly after. Xiaoman, whats the meaning of the photos you just sent? The voice on the phone asked. Jian Xiaoman started tattling immediately, Auntie, didnt you notice? Big brother is dating a woman. They held hands, its too intimate. He even took her to the private room at Guiji! She swore, the humiliation she suffered in the Grand Hall just now was the first she ever felt in her twenty-two years! Being seen by so many people that her specially customized high-end dress was actually just a high-quality knockoff! And she wasughed at, saying the Jian Family was a blood sucker! The more Jian Xiaoman thought about it, the more furious she was. She couldnt help but exaggerate a bit, Auntie, they were so close. Big brother even let her drive his car. I couldnt see clearly from the photo. Do you know her name? I dont know her, I saw her for the first time today. She dressed inly but got a sharp tongue. Big brother actually yelled at me for her! He kicked me out of the private room! Ahuang yelled at you? Jian Xiaoman is the youngest daughter of the Jian Family, who is cute, young, well-behaved and a bit coquettish. People never dare to treat her harshly. Yeah, I just asked who she was, he kicked me out of the room. Jian Xiaoman remembered suddenly, Oh, my cousin said this slut seemed to be big brothers secretary. Is itShi Huan? Yes, yes, I remember now. Big brother called her Huanhuan. I see. The call ended abruptly. ** When the Maybach arrived at the entrance of Mei Jia Yuanmunity, it was already past eight in the evening. Shi Huan quickly parked the car, Mr. Chu, Im home. You should Drive in. Chu Xiuhuang was looking at his phone without lifting his head. Shi Huan had no choice but to drive the car in. Arriving downstairs at her building, she parked again, Mr. Chu, Im leaving the car. Chu Xiuhuang directly pushed the car door open, Ill walk you up. Shi Huans mouth twitched. They are already downstairs, whats there to walk up to? Once she got out of the car, Shi Huan stood in front of the building, smiling awkwardly, Really, theres no need. Theres an elevator. I dont feel easy. Chu Xiuhuang said earnestly, I just read a piece of social news yesterday. It was about a single woman who was stalked by a man on her way home. Once inside, she was raped and murdered, stabbed twenty times, blood everywhere, her intestines spilling out. Shi Huan shivered, Im very ordinary looking. Where are you ordinary? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her clean and pretty face, Well, you do look very normal with sses on. But she wasnt wearing sses right now. Shi Huan touched her face. She almost forgot, her sses had been thrown away by him earlier. Lets go up. With no other choice, Shi Huan turned around and headed to open the door. Chu Xiuhuang quickly followed. When the elevator got to the 9th floor, the door opened, and there was a ruckus in the hallway. Chapter 604: 604, Chu Er dominatingly bullies the scum Chapter 604: 604, Chu Er dominatingly bullies the scum Theyre back! Theyre back! Someone was shouting. Shi Huan stepped out of the elevator, her petite face filled with confusion as she stared at the disorderly crowd by her front door. Most of them were men and none of them looked easy to deal with. Their expressions were fierce and they held clubs in their hands, ready to start a fight. A familiar woman was charging directly towards her, clutching her handbag and ready to smash it into Shi Huan. In a nick of time, Shi Huans waist tightened and her feet were lifted off the ground. Chu Xiuhuang had picked her up and held her against himself. With a quick turn, they evaded the womans attack. The woman missed, brake toote and collided into the wall with a dull groan. She turned swiftly and pointed at Shi Huan, opening her mouth wide to curse, You malicious woman, what on earth did my son do to offend you? You had him bitten by a dog, my poor boy is in horrible shape, his face is disfigured! If anything happens to him, Ill ensure you pay! Thats when Shi Huan recognized her as Zhu Mingpengs mother and hurriedly tried to exin, Ms. Zhu, it was your son who started You dare argue back! Zhus wife hysterically interrupts her and turned to a burly middle-aged man to admonish, Big brother, this shameless woman is the one. Quickly grab her and get her to the police station, I want to charge her with intentional injury, I want her to pay and be put in jail! Just as the man had wanted to advance, Shi Huan instinctively retreated behind Chu Xiuhuang. Try touching my girlfriend and see what happens. Chu Xiuhuangs voice resounded instantaneously. The man who was about to advance immediately halted in his tracks. Chu Xiuhuangs voice was not particrly loud; in fact, it could be described as low and calm, but his intimidating aura, tall stature, cold expression, and demon-like charm was enough to deter anyone. Zhus wife was also taken aback, but she quickly returned with a mocking sneer, Ive heard all about how promiscuous the young Miss of Shi family, youre really good at seducing men. What a surprise, youre returning home thiste with a man in tow, really living up to your reputation! No wonder you never agreed to date my son, you just couldnt set your sights on him and decided to rely on some other man early on! I mustmend your discerning eye, recognizing that I am indeed the better catch. Isnt it quite normal for Huanhuan to disregard your disgusting and ipetent son? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile ying on his lips, Having a few bites from a dog might serve as a deserved lesson to not overreach his station. Upon hearing her son being belittled, Zhus wife felt a sting. She was enraged and let out a hysterical scream, Big brother, get them, take them to the police station! Whoever dares to touch her, I will chop his hands off. Not only did Chu Xiuhuangs words make the men shudder, even Shi Huan felt an intense fear. His tone was still nonchnt, yet it instilled an inexplicable fear. Zhus wifes big brother scrutinized this carefully. Chu Xiuhuang was outfitted in a crisp ck suit with handmade shoes to match. From top to bottom, he was impably clean with no speck of dirt to be seen. Even without introducing himself, one could tell he was from a different world and not someone they could afford to offend. His expression made it clear C If he was daring enough to say it, he would go ahead to do just as promised. Zhus wife continued to yell recklessly, How dare you! We live in awful society, Im calling the police to arrest you! Call the police? Chu Xiuhuang thinned his lips, pulling out his phone and dialing a number, Director Wang, Im giving you 10 minutes. Send someone to Unit 1, Building 5 of Meijiayuan, 9th floor. Upon the mention of Director Wang, Zhus wifes brothers face changed, Who Who are you exactly? Upon ending the call, Chu Xiuhuang smiled, his gaze seductive and devilish, That good-for-nothing son of yours is now in Nangong Hospital, the best in Nancheng. I received the diagnosis an hour ago, just minor injuries without any harm to his tendons or bones. So youre here now chasing after my girlfriend for money? Or seeking revenge? If its for money, youre certainly barking up the wrong tree. The medical and hospitalization bills have been fully paid. Even if the police came, everything is clear. If youre carrying thoughts of seeking revenge, well He tightened his hold on Shi Huan and sneered, Im telling you right now, Huanhuan is my, Chu Xiuhuangs woman. You can tryying a hand on her. The mere mention of Chu Xiuhuangs name had Zhus wifes brother gasping for air. Shi Huan had been listening to him all along. For the first time, she realized Chu Xiuhuang could be so patient, exining in detail. If this had been before, wouldnt he have thrown punches already? After all, this Chu heir was never known for his patience. But slowly, her vision started to stall. Chu Xiuhuangs hand was tightly holding hers. As if protecting her. The mans fingers were clearly outlined, slender but powerful, bathed in a masculine shade of bronze. The womans hand was delicate, seemingly boneless,pletely enveloped within his. A strange sense of ambiguity. Shi Huans heart experienced a slight flutter. Could it be that Chu Xiuhuang Really had those kinds of feelings for her? Thats impossible. When they first met seven years ago, he was in love with her sister. The job he gave her five years ago was merely out of guilt, a favor for the Shi Family. After so many years of knowing each other, apart from Chu Xiuhuangs recent inexplicable behavior, everything else had been normal. She shook her head vigorously. At that moment, a big hand suddenlynded on the top of her head. It stopped her head shaking, and also suspended her wild thoughts. Shi Huan came back to reality, only to realize those hooligans in the corridor had disappeared. Uh. She turned her face to see the mans long, narrow and charming phoenix eyes. They were very close. Close enough to smell the strong masculine scent on him, mixed with a faint smell of tobo and alcohol along with his gazefocused, deep, staring at her as if carrying an unspoken and indescribable emotion. Her heartbeats became somewhat erratic. Shi Huan quickly averted her eyes, Where have they gone? I scared them off. Shi Huan: She coughed twice, Thank you for just now. Just treat me to a meal. Another meal? Shi Huans mouth twitched. Chu Xiuhuang slightly lifted his eyebrow, grinning, Why are you so nervous? Shi Huan: Shouldnt she be nervous? Just one meal had cost her nearly 200,000 RMB. Another one, and shed go bankrupt. Chu After talking for so long, Im a bit thirsty. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly interrupted, pursing his lips, Arent you going to invite me in for a drink? Alright then. Shi Huan could only take out her house keys. As soon as they entered, Chu Xiuhuang immediately put on his personal slippers, just like he was entering his own home, nonchntly walking over to sit on the living room sofa and even hitched up his leg. What do you think, isnt this couch quitefortable? Shi Huan drylyughed, Hmm. The luxuriousrge sofa that Young Master Chu had splurged half a million RMB on was big, spacious, and soft. Describing it as great would be an understatement. It was incrediblyfortable. Shi Huan put down her bag, Master Chu, what would you like to drink? Id like Biluochun tea. We dont have any tea at home. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue immediately, Whats the reason? Shi Huan feltpelled to exin, We usually dont have guests over. So, she usually drank in boiled water. Hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly raised his eyebrows in amusement, So, my slippers havent been worn by any other man, have they? Definitely not. Forget other men, aside from Chu Xiuhuang, no other man has even entered this room. Besides, those slippers were bought by Chu Xiuhuang himself. She wouldnt let any other man wear them. She did have that bit of emotional intelligence. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but smile, Then make me some fruit juice. After all, making juice takes a bit more time. Alright. Her phone started ringing again at that moment. Shi Huan went into the kitchen, whereas Chu Xiuhuang picked up the call, Mom, what can I do for you? ** In the kitchen, Shi Huan opened the fridge, but could only find a wilting apple. Ever since Shi Minyan and Tu Youran returned to the country, Little Luoluo had been taken back home. With no little girl around, Shi Huan lived alone and rarely cooked. Even the interest in buying groceries and snacks was lost. This one apple was not enough for making juice either. She wanted to ask Chu Xiuhuang whether he would mind drinking boiled water, but just as she approached the kitchen door, she heard Chu Xiuhuangs voice. Mom, I already have a woman I like. I will bring her to meet you someday. Why not? His voice suddenly turned stern. Shi Huan was startled and turned back around immediately. The mans voice was still talking, but she could no longer hear clearly what he was saying. Once everything was quiet outside again, Shi Huan walked out with a cup of water, Were out of fruit, Master Chu. Would you like boiled water? Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue unhappily. Shi Huan thought he was displeased with the in water, but then Didnt I bring my own cupst time? Why are you still giving me a disposable cup! Shi Huan sheepishly replied, I forgot. Chu Xiuhuang nced at her, visibly displeased, Remember next time! Oh. Finally satisfied, Chu Xiuhuang took the paper cup, lowered his eyes, and began to sip the water slowly. The man had beautiful fingers, and his way of drinking water was elegantly graceful. Anyone who didnt know would probably think he was savoring a heavenly elixir. Shi Huan quickly checked the time. It was already past 9 oclock. But Chu Xiuhuang showed no intention of leaving, leisurely sipping his water and appreciating the rooms decor. After about 10 minutes, Shi Huan couldnt hold back any longer, Master Chu, its gettingte. Chu Xiuhuang looked at his left wristwatch, and genuinely nodded, Yes, it is already 10 oclock. Indeed, indeed. Shi Huan eagerly agreed. Chu Xiuhuang smirked. Shi Huan: Feeling that there was no alternative, she asked outright, Master Chu, do you need me to apany you home? The smile disappeared from Chu Xiuhangs face. Shi Huan again: What now? So moody. Chu Xiuhuang coldly asked, Do you know why I escorted you up the stairs? Shi Huan blinked, Do you know why I didnt initiate anything? Shi Huan continued to blink, Suddenly, he put down the paper cup and stood up. Shi Huan quickly said, Master Chu, let me escort you. Chu Xiuhuang: With his hands in his pockets, his eyes half-closed and a smirk ying on his lips, he got up, preparing to leave. Shi Huan let out a sigh of relief and quickly followed. Surprisingly, he suddenly turned around when they were passing the coffee table. Then she felt a trip at her feet. Ah! Be careful! Shi Huan instantly lost her bnce and stumbled forward. In the ensuing chaos, she heard a hefty grunt. Im sorry, Im so sorry, Shi Huan quickly apologized. Attempting to get up, Chu Xiuhuang let out an even more suppressed groan. At the same time. Shi Huan felt a jolt in her brain. Like she had touched an electric wire, she abruptly sprang up, blushing furiously. She stole a nce at him and, as expected, Chu Xiuhuang also had an awkward expression on his face. Actually, he had only intended to trip her over and then catch her in his arms, concocting a n to get closer. Unfortunately, things took an awkward turn This time, they had messed up big time. The room was just big enough for the two of them, and the situation was extremely After a brief shock, Shi Huan rushed to open the door, Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuang sat there, a scowl on his face and a harsh tone in his voice, What are you doing? The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
