《My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day》 Chapter 1 - 1 001, Boarded the Wrong Bus 1 001, Boarded the Wrong Bus Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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-black 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 magnetic 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 young lady who had haphazardly gotten into the wrong car, his brows slightly furrowed, lips thinned, throwing an aloof and impatient glance. 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 explained, 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 black shadow shot out from under the seat and hurled itself towards Su Wanwan. Ahhhh Su Wanwan, whose face had until now been calm and composed, 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 Young lady, 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 such large 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 was completely unaware of the certain discomfort 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 - 2 002, Illegitimate Daughter 2 002, Illegitimate Daughter Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 clang. The inside of the car was silent for a full three seconds. Then. Pfft! With irrepressible laughter, Nangong Ci burst out, Big brother, your dogs taste is too sharp, isnt it? Does it see that the young lady is pretty? Thinking about giving you a happy surprise, right? Good boy, it almost tore the young ladys 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 a large 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 young lady 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 black 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 hour later, in a Mercedes luxury black sedan, Mo Xiaose, the little princess of the Mo family, stared with her white-and-black 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, playing even on the plane Can you be serious for a once, Mo Xiaose! Su Wanwan snap closed her compact 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 glance. I accidentally 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 explanation, 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 family compound. 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 accompany you back! Mo Weiyi immediately said, Dont worry, when it comes 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 not come, 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, Slap the scum sister Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Forty minutes later, at the Su Family villa. 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 suddenly come 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 plainly 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 villa. 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 black 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 scornful laugh, 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 also laughed, innocently and harmlessly. Sister, why did you come 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 slap. Su Yanyan covered her slapped 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 flamboyant, You shamelessly seduced my fianc a year ago and became his mistress, not ashamed of your actions, but still flaunt 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 too late to play 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 slap landed on her face. Pain coursed over Su Yanyans face as she was slapped twice in succession. She could no longer endure, clawing 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 villa. 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 to complain, My sister found out about Yuyun and me, I tried to explain, 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 slap. 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 slap 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, later 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 to compete with you. Jiang Yi tried to explain. 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 explain, 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 explaining. Su Yuntang impatiently cut off his wife. Yuyun and Yanyan are deeply in love with each other. The Xing family has already accepted 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 sarcastic laugh. 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 glared 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 up completely! Now she has finally achieved her goal after half a year of patience, and everything is accomplished 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 slapped 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 explain, II didnt know how to explain our relationship 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 a lame 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 villa. 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 to come, hes arranged for several top players. 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 particularly 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 become the leading enterprise in Nanchengs commercial 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 syllables. Xing Yuyun was disgruntled listening to this, Yes, Wanwan sheshe He struggled to put it in words. Because he didnt know how to introduce his complex relationship 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 play 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 glasses 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 accompanied 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 slammed 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 clang, the bar was thrown into chaos. ** Late at night, a shrill phone ring echoed through the Huo family villa. Before long, the sound of clanging 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 Jingshen coming 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Huo Jingshen glanced 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 a completely different person. Meanwhile, a woman lay 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 would come over so late. 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 to communicate 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 clamoured for compensation, 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 this lady 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 both come 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 young lady had a fight and smashed up my entire bar. I have already calculated 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 young lady clearly stated that you invited her for a drink, so everything she smashed is on your account 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 collarbone 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 remarkably lazy, casual, and charming, she seemed completely 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 clarifyUncle 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 collar 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 Calculate the accounts. Huo Jingshen broke the silence. * * Money talks. Huo Jingshen was generous when it came to paying. The bail procedure was quickly completed, and the bar owner also left satisfied. The staff responsible for the transcripts glanced at the testimony recorded earlier and reminded, Mr. Huo, Miss Sus bail releaser hasnt come 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 to complicate 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 plane, he should be arriving at Nancheng by noon tomorrow With a clank, 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 you later. 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 becoming much more comfortable. 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? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing the still clinging drunk woman, Huo Jingshens eyes filled with intense disgust. Did this woman plan 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 porcelain 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 somewhat complex. 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 play 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 black 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 in complaint, 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 uncomfortable. 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 glanced at her. Su Wanwan was leaning against the wall, and because she was tilting her head, her left cheek was completely 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 man coming 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 glasses, 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 blacking out Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 spatula in her hand Why am I at your place? She remembered going out for a drink last night after leaving the Su familys house. She bumped into this guy who couldnt stop blabbering, 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 misplaced 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 playboy 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. Displaying 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 black 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 Xiaose last 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 certainly come 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-in-law. What nonsense are you spouting, Su Wanwan? When did Yuyun become my son-in-law? Su Yanyan was instantly angered by her words. Hasnt he moved in? Su Wanwan tilted her face, her voice innocent yet mischievous, Hes been coming 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 was coming 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 elaborate, asked, Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather? Oh, the previous operation was successful, and his health has been improving. His spirit is very good today. If he knew that youve come 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 and come visit another time. His attitude before and after was dramatically different. Even with Jiang Yis supreme body language skills, she failed to keep her face color from changing. Su Yanyan stamped her feet in rage, Why does grandfather always do this? Weve come so many times but he refuses to see us. I bet hes just doing it deliberately to annoy us! Mo Weiyi could not help but laugh, 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 flatter 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 mad last 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 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hospital ward. Old man, look whos here. The elderly man who was reading a newspaper on his bed looks up, adjusting his reading glasses, 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 cosplay 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 a ladylike 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-in-law 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 place 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 the company, 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. Ill come 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 place 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 villa. In the dining room on the first floor, a white tablecloth-layed dinner table was set with a splendid array of dishes. The family was having dinner. When they saw Su Wanwan walk in, the laughter 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 displayed 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 the latest popular 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 a lazy 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 slammed down his chopsticks, Did you come back to this house just to ask me for money? Yeah. Su Wanwan answered nonchalantly, 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 you later. Su Wanwan spared her a glance, 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 said lazily, 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 insulation 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 slammed the table and stood up, You ungrateful little! Chapter 13 - 13 013, Nancheng University 13 013, Nancheng University Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 he committed 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 become 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 to comfort her, he suddenly stood up. Wanwan, come 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-in-law cant say in here? Yuyun. Su Yuntang warned. Xing Yuyun suppressed his impatience, assurance in his voice, Uncle, dont worry. I just want to clarify 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 glass. Her cool side profile made her point, Isnt that right, dad? Su Yuntang glared 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 planned. Xing Yuyun stood there, a storm brewing in his eyes. After a long pause, he answered with a single word, Okay. Chapter 14 - Chapter 14’. 014, Mr. Huo Appears Chapter 14. 014, Mr. Huo Appears Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation , Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Deep into the night. In a bedroom on the second floor of a villa in Lishui Bay, a sudden shrill ring from a cell phone shattered the quiet. Mo Weiyi picked it up and glanced 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 you last 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 relationship 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 relationship 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 it common 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-in-law to the Huo Family. What do you have to compete 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 or later 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 are comparable 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 flattery 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 plants 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-in-law are downstairs. Are you sure youre not looking for the wrong person, brother-in-law? She dragged the two syllables of brother-in-law unusually long, laced 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 his composure. 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 manipulating relationships. I heard he has had many women in Y Country, and his private life is quite chaotic. Youre young and naive, and I think hes completely unsuitable for you. He Hes just too old So, it turns out I, Huo Jingshen, am an old man who specializes in manipulating relationships. 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 black 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 - Chapter 15: 015, no experience Chapter 15: 015, no experience Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 particularly 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 blanched suddenly, then flushed. For a moment, he wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth, and under the mans seemingly calm but innately powerful aura, he couldnt utter an explanatory 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 flashed 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 black 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 relationship, to stir Xing Yuyun up, to let him know she wasnt without suitors, and to let him witness it and completely 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, slamming 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 flared up at him, You damn pervert, who allowed you Never had experience before? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, serene and composed, his tone certain. From their previous encounters, he thought she was an old hand at this, but who would have thoughtthis young lady 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 - Chapter 16: 016, stop babbling and dawdling. Chapter 16: 016, stop babbling and dawdling. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 little lady 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 utterly lascivious! 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 glare. 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 successful 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 playboy? 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 clapped 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 slapped the table, Im in a hurry. Please proceed with discharge formalities quickly! Nangong Ci: ** Once the formalities were completed, Su Wanwan pretty much fled the scene. The office fell silent for a while, and then Hahahaha! Nangong Ci laughed till he pounded the table, Cut the chatter? Hahaha! Elder brother, did your lady play too much King Glory? Hahaha! It was absolutely hilariously! Huo Jingshen sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette with long, slender fingers, and casually remarked, You laughing like that makes you look like an idiot. II II The laughter 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 planning to collaborate 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 exclaimed, 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 that compared 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 slapped 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 - Chapter 17: 017, divorce immediately Chapter 17: 017, divorce immediately Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 glance at her before continuing to smoke. Brother Yuyun. Su Yanyan held back her anger and softly asked, What happened? Is there a problem with the company? 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 accusations, 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 have come, 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 replaying in his mind. The embarrassment, the humiliation, and the blow to his masculinity were too much for him to accept 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 are completely 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 cheap compared to her? Su Yanyan shuddered violently. Did he know? Did he know everything? That glass of wine on that night, it was spiked, wasnt it? Upon seeing her guilty face, Xing Yuyun let out a sarcastic laugh. 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 place? Why did you The thing I hate the most is being manipulated, 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 she come back? Yuyun was not here either. Grandpa, its getting late. 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 blank expression, Su Yanyan took a while before managing to mutter, He, he said something came up at the company. Hmph! Su Xueqin let out a cold huff. Seeing the old mans displeasure, Jiang Yi quickly explained, There must have been an issue at the company. Yuyun just became the general manager, its understandable. I was wondering why he left in such a hurry earlier. Yang, come 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 - Chapter 18: 018, Birthday Gift Chapter 18: 018, Birthday Gift Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation , Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 accompany 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 glared 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 occupied, 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-lifetime coming-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 glanced at Su Yanyan from the corner of her eye. As expected, the latters 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 accompanying 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 and come 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 eccentric 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 was coming out of the study, a newspaper in his hand, seeing her in a hurry, he instantly frowned, Where are you going at this late hour? A friends gathering. How many times have I told you, dont hang out with those dubious people. Have you forgotten about the last 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 couldnt compare 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 glance. Talking about the dark past will kill you? Yet Jiang Yi smiled warmly, Wanwan, let the chauffeur drive you there, remember to come back early after the gathering. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered with her, she turned around and left. ** The place 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 room laughing 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 - Chapter 19: 019, dead girl Chapter 19: 019, dead girl Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 were coming 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 played was called Ex-Files 3, a comedy 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 you last 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 flaunting her relationship 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 accidents 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 a complimentary drink from the club. After saying that, he left the drink and walked out. Su Wanwan blinked. Really? A complimentary drink? It seemed to be a cocktail. Its blue liquid was topped with a fiery red layer, 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 playing. 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 becoming 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 slapped 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 - Chapter 20: 020, do you want to drink alcohol? Chapter 20: 020, do you want to drink alcohol? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation 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 not come. She smelled a faint scent of tobacco, intertwined with the rich aroma of red wine. Su Wanwan forced her eyes open and looked towards the scent, spotting a glass 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 blankly. Then, that glass 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 glass 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 received complaints 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 liked coming 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 plays, 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 - Chapter 21: 021,1 will compensate if it breaks Chapter 21: 021,1 will compensate if it breaks Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation 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 play 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 circulating 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 minutes later on the 7th floor of the manor, the door of a high-end VIP presidential suite was suddenly knocked harshly. A stern warning accompanied 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 darkened completely 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 unacceptable! The police are here and youre still complaining? 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 places 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 places, 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 clang. Mo Weiyi quickly turned her head. The next second, her face went pale. What?! How could it be Huo Jingshen?! Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: 022, Fiancee Chapter 22: 022, Fiancee Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He wore a dark colored shirt, under which were immaculate, wrinkle-free black 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 explain, 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 related 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 the complainant 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 revelation 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 player 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 slacker who often skipped classes So. Huo Jingshen continued to ask, Is there any law that prohibits me from visiting this place 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 such law. A hint of amusement flashed 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 immaculately, 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 - Chapter 23: 023, got drunk and blacked out again Chapter 23: 023, got drunk and blacked out again Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next morning, Su Wanwan woke up to find herself in a completely unfamiliar room. Damn it! She must have drunk too much and blacked 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, similar 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 was last 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 drunk last 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 not come back last night, she also woke up so late. Where are you going, Wanwan? I havent finished talking Mo Weiyi complained. 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 you later. 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 and laughter coming from the villa. Were there guests? As she entered the villa, Su Xueqins voice was heard as she changed shoes by the entrance, Is that Wanwan whos back? Where did Wanwan go? Why is she coming back from outside? That sounded like her aunt, Su Yunrong.Su Wanwan walked into the living room and quickly glanced 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 didnt come home last 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 around last 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 too late, 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 that lacking 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 - Chapter 24: 024, Top-tier Male God Chapter 24: 024, Top-tier Male God Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Particularly 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 glance. Indeed, how true is the saying A girl changes completely when she comes 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 care last 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 black eyeliner, black lipstick and even black 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. The latter was also looking at Su Wanwan before bursting into laughter, 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 villa 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 play it cool. It is said, Daughters take after their fathers, and that couldnt be more true. Su Yunrong glared 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 in-laws. 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 black 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 black 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 relationships, 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 black Bentley was also gone.. Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: 025, the beauty of adulthood Chapter 25: 025, the beauty of adulthood Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 claimed she doesnt care, the Xing family must give her an explanation. 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 glanced 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 claimed 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. A languid, 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 become husband and wife, isnt my sister still here? Since she likes her brother-in-law 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-in-law 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 fairly composed. 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 slap 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-in-law 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 - Chapter 26: 026, a despicable person is always melodramatic Chapter 26: 026, a despicable person is always melodramatic Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation 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 accuse me first and play 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 about last night? None of your damn business. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered to argue with her, Your future in-laws 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 that lay 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 man last 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 glaring red letters, the headline read: Shocking! Nanchengs Premier Entertainment Club Suspected of Engaging in Prostitution! Below that, thick layers 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 the late stages of retardation, arent you? You wish I was in some scandal, dont you? Flies wont land 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 her composure, 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 - Chapter 27: 027, Boss Huo Makes an Appearance Chapter 27: 027, Boss Huo Makes an Appearance Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He was dressed in a white shirt and black 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 glance 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 particularly 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 glance slid over the newspaper spread open on the table, revealing a brief flash 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 had come 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 had come 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 dare come to her home! She hadnt even confronted him about what happened at the hospital last 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, glaring 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 too late at a club last night, and she carelessly left her phone at my place. 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 relationship 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, clasping 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, appearing completely 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 clasp. 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, a large 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 blades But to outsiders, it seemed like an intimate interaction, as if they were flaunting their affection. Xing Yuyuns face darkened even more, and he felt more and more restless.. Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: 028, Big Pig Trotter Chapter 28: 028, Big Pig Trotter Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation So thats how it is, Jiang Yis voice was as smooth as water. If Wanwan was with Master Huo last 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 happened later? 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, and completely uninterested in romantic relationships. 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 too late. Su Wanwan felt as though a large flock of black crows was flying over her head. Love at first sight? Mutual attraction? Wished theyd met earlier? What the hell was he blabbering 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 little complex 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-in-law? Before Huo Qinyu could understand So today, I came here specifically to propose. With a clap 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 become 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 it comes to marriage, it relates 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 like laughing 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 clamoring! The one who ran in was a new maid. She said fearfully, Sir, a large group of journalists has arrived outside.. I cant stop them Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: 029, let’s get married Chapter 29: 029, lets get married Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 glare. 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 clamor was growing. The maid soon returned, What should we do? The reporters refuse to leave. Su Yuntang felt a headache coming. 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 upcoming marriage with her, I hope you could clarify 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, clarified 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 place 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 your last 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 clarify 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 to come over, burst out the door and loudly admit that everything was true Would he be furious enough to go insane then? Youre still laughing? 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 place! Tomorrow youre getting out of here, back to M Country. Never come 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 clasp onto Huo Jingshens arm. Her smile bright yet resolute, I accept your proposal, lets get married! The mature and handsome man slowly curled his lips, Alright.. Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: 030, old man! Chapter 30: 030, old man! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Outside the gates of Su Familys villa, dozens of journalists were huddled together. Despite being under the blazing 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 relationship with this lady? Is this lady the fiancee you referred to as being in your room at your mansion last night? Are you really engaged? When do you plan to host the wedding? Fiancee? Werent they here to question her about a newspaper article? Su Wanwan was slightly baffled. Yet, the flashlights 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 this lady 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 become the new CEO of Huo Yuan property, would the chairman Mr. Huo know about your upcoming 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 exclaimed in unison, Congratulations Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo, you are so fortunate! May the two of you grow old together and live a peaceful life! The flashes from the cameras filled the air along with the shutter clicks. Last night, a gossipy internet 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 accept 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 planned 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 villa. As they exited the main gate of the community, Su Wanwan suddenly shouted, Stop the car! Stop the car! Huo Jingshen didnt stop. Lifting his brows, he glanced at the jittery girl beside him, What are you trying to do? Su Wanwans mouth hung open, but she couldnt find the words to articulate 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 glanced 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 you come 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 he laughed 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 glance, 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 eyelashes 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 a large 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 in-laws? Huo Jingshen could barely contain his laughter, Is Wanwan feeling shy? Shy your bum! My grandparents are quite nice, Huo Jingshen comforted 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 - Chapter 31: 031, met the parents Chapter 31: 031, met the parents Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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, planning 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 frequently coming 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 the laughter 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 nineteen, with delicate features, a clean and white face, and at first glance, she looked like a beautiful porcelain 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 glanced 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. But compared 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 place 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 relatives, 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 glance 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 a company and did business, richer and more powerful than the Xing Family, but she hadnt expected the family background to be so complex, 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 newcomer grew louder and closer with each step, and then Su! Wan! Wan! Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: 032, Grandma likes you Chapter 32: 032, Grandma likes you Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Su Wanwan frowned at the man in front of her with his hair standing on end. He was probably in his early twenties, wore sunglasses, 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 sunglasses, and the next second Damn! Youre not here to complain 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 too late to pretend that nothing happened? Zhexi! The voice of Mrs. Huo had already come over. The once ferocious Huo Zhexi instantly turned soft, Grandma. Mrs. Huo walked into the living room and slapped 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 young lady is going to be your sister-in-law 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 explained, 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 glance. 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 particularly 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-in-law, as long as Ashen liked this little girl and they had a good relationship, 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 a completely different person. She became unbridled and destructive, even men couldnt handle her. Just as she was considering how to explain it You think I dont know your personality? The old woman snorted coldly, It must be that you saw a pretty young lady 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 but laugh and hurriedly lowered her head to hold it in. Huo Zhexi glared 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-in-law, 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 irreconcilable 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 foreign land, and father and son never saw each other for the last 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 had come back. Sometimes he even mistook Jinghua. Looking at the words able to let go on the wall, Huo Jing Shens voice was low and bland, 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 accidentally fell from the tenth floors staircase of the mall. That mall was newly built, and every floor was made of glass. 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 - Chapter 33: 033, taking wife to get the marriage certificate Chapter 33: 033, taking wife to get the marriage certificate Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation , Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 his composure, 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-in-law, she must understand some basic etiquette. Huo Jingshen was noncommittal. 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 relationship 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, glaring at her with murderous eyes. Su Wanwan felt that this younger brother was somewhat childish. Soon, the last 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 place 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, placing 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 glance at him, When your sister-in-law 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 was laughing, 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-in-law yet. Huo Jingshen was very confident, I am going to get the marriage certificate with my wife. Su Wanwan: * * Sus villa. 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 cancellation 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 relatives know about it. If Im really dumped now, Ill be the laughingstock 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 to come 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 uncomfortably like it was being tickled by countless ants. Everything had been planned originally. She snatched Xing Yuyun, Su Wanwan got dumped, and was laughed at by everyone. How come 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 - Chapter 34: 034, Flunky Assistant Chapter 34: 034, Flunky Assistant Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 impeccably 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? How come 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 black 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 after coming 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 black 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 welcome, 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 Jingshens command, 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 minutes later. 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 - Chapter 35: 035, an older man dating a younger woman is also your sister-in-law Chapter 35: 035, an older man dating a younger woman is also your sister-in-law Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 military compound, 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 a lavish 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, clammy sensation on her leg Ahhhhhhhh! Su Wanwan almost collapsed 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 villa. 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 Ci complained, 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 glass 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 black-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt, and trousers. Though he appeared scholarly 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 to come 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-in-law. No sooner had Huo Jingshen spoken. Sister-in-law. The emotionless man immediately complied. 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-in-law. Huo Jingshens face darkened. Su Wanwan coughed. Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and drained his glass 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-in-law? 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 explaining, 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-in-law. 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-in-law! 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 relaxed, 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 - Chapter 36: 036, The Aesthetics of an Old Man Chapter 36: 036, The Aesthetics of an Old Man Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Upon entering the living room, Huo Jingshen called for a servant, Take the lady 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 glanced at him indifferently. An ominous glance. 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, then come 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 planning 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 explanation, 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 be competing with the Mo family through his investments. Huo Jingshen stood up right away, Make yourself scarce before I come back downstairs. Everyone: ** Upstairs, Su Wanwan looked around the enormous master bedroom, Are there any other rooms? My lady, this is the master bedroom. The servant responded in surprise. Surely Mr. Huo and his wife arent planning on sleeping in separate rooms? Of course, Su Wanwan knew this was the master bedroom. The entire room was colored only in shades of black, 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. My lady, 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 black and white marble and divided into three sections for washing, showering, and bathing. The bathing area was particularly noticeable due to the exceptionally large bathtub. Taking a bath here at night would surely be very relaxing 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 tobacco on him. Su Wanwan subconsciously stepped back. Wearing Huo Jingshens slippers, which were too large, her foot unexpectedly slid out, landing on the cold tile. Huo Jingshen looked down, her small, incredibly white foot standing out against the black 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 you late 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 planning to do? Staring back into his eyes, Su Wanwan felt like a little rabbit that had fallen into a wolfs lair, 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 planning 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 or later, she would be eaten anyway! Bracing herself, she moved to take a step, but before she could complete 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 - Chapter 37: 037, Wedding Gifts Chapter 37: 037, Wedding Gifts Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 clapped 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 say last time, fine. But now youre married and youre still shy? Mo Weiyi prodded her, impatient and eager, very unlike the composed elegance of a Nancheng lady. 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 successfully 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 UK last 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 to come 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 you last saw me? Oh, I dont care, I want you to come over. No way, youre so close. If you dont come 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 to come quickly. Ill come 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 already come 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 glance, 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, and lashed 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 much lately and your face is waxen from staying up late. This dress is yellow as well, it doesnt suit you. Mo Weiyis voice suddenly came over.. Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: 038, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road Chapter 38: 038, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation For some strange reason, the haughty woman from before wilted in an instant. She shot Su Wanwan a venomous glare, 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. Blaming your looks on the clothes now, Miss Lai? Maybe all those late 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 Weiyi laughed 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 the last 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 play golf? Su Wanwan had to suppress her laughter. 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 uncontrollably, her expression frantic. Nonsense? Mo Weiyis smirk was shamelessly amused. I still have copies of those photos of you and Xing Yuyun from last 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 explain. 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 making comments 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 slapped 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 glanced 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 to come home.. Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: 039, The Jerk Gets Beaten Up Chapter 39: 039, The Jerk Gets Beaten Up Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 car coming 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 she coming 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 black Audis slowly drove into the gate, passed by Su Wanwan, and finally drove into the garage. Su Wanwan glanced at them and then walked into the villa. 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 welcome me back to this house. Next time, I dont think Ill come 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 to come. 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 Wanwan laughed heartily. She found a spot near Su Xueqin, sat down, and watched the show. Su Yuntang glared 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 Xueqins command, Su Yuntang had no choice but to comply 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 black 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 particularly stern. Behind him in order were Mrs. Xing, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu, while Xing Yuyun was at the end. Su Wanwan glanced 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 played 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 in-laws. 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 in-laws 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 family law. 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 just landed 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, lady 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 a compensation 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-in-law 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 minutes later, 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 glancing 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 and come back. The villa 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 about coming 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 old lady 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 into laughter. 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 - Chapter 40: 040, Confrontation Chapter 40: 040, Confrontation Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 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 had come to take her side, but for the sake of Su Xueqins face, she had to give Su Wanwan a house as compensation. 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 played 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 played with. I wonder, does the elders of the Huo family know about this Slap! Su Wanwan slapped 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 plaything. 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 to laugh 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 day comes that the mistress comes 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. You come 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, she laid back in the villa watching movies. Occasionally , 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 - Chapter 41: 041, a family of three Chapter 41: 041, a family of three Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan had to take time off from the driving school on Sunday because they had class. 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 delayed, and she waited from morning till noon, until almost two in the afternoon when the flight from Los Angeles finally landed. 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 expenses later. A classically 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 blaming her. Thats not necessary. Im in a hurry, too. She left immediately after speaking. She had just taken a few steps when she heard the ladys voice, Jingshen! Su Wanwan did a double-take and indeed saw a familiar figure approaching. In his usual white shirt and black 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 had come 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 a large black 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 plane 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 airplane. 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 displayed 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 villa. 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 a large 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 - Chapter 42: 042, Fu Ziyang Chapter 42: 042, Fu Ziyang Translator: 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 footsteps later, 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 collar 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 flashed in his eyes, then he explained, His name is Fu Ziyang, the son of a friend of mine. He ran away from home and hopped on a plane 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, a large clot of dry blood was on her ankle. Come here. Huo Jingshen repeated his command. 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 placing her foot on his lap. 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 glance. 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, contemplating 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 more complaints. 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 - Chapter 43: 043, Double-faced Chapter 43: 043, Double-faced Translator: 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 incredibly composed 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 impeccable. 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 similarity 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 nonchalant 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 playing games on her phone. Not long after Huo Jingshen left, Aunt Liu also finished cleaning up and left. The large 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 placed 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 glared 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 explain 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 - Chapter 44: 044, Mysterious Gift Chapter 44: 044, Mysterious Gift Translator: 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 delaying 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 or later, 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-consolation, 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 exclaimed 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 cabinet, 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 - Chapter 45: 045, Mrs. Huo wants a divorce Chapter 45: 045, Mrs. Huo wants a divorce Translator: 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 collapsing 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 black trousers, making him look refreshed and elegant. Su Wanwan lay 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 was laughing heartlessly on the other side of the call. Su Wanwan sniffled, not wanting to talk at all. Why arent you speaking? Was it unsuccessful? Did your Mr. Huo not like the gift I gave? Thats not possible, I specially chose pink, and its all the latest trend. Su Wanwan was taken aback, remembering the pajamas from last 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 black? Or white? Su Wanwan: Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: 046, Encounter with Trash Chapter 46: 046, Encounter with Trash Translator: 549690339 So, your husband Mr. Huo likes some spicy stuff, huh? Next time, Ill send him a maid outfit, the one with bare-black-lace-suspender-stockings. You can role-play 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 was coming 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, well come over later. Dont worry, Wanwan just got up. She might be a little grumpy. Su Wanwan closed her eyes. Then glared fiercely at him. After hanging up, Huo Jingshen saw his little wife glaring 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, collapsed onto it, and began playing a game on her mobile phone. There had been so many things happening recently, she hadnt had time to play 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 playing a match, Mrs. Huos call came in again. Wanwan, Ashen told me that youre not feeling well and didnt want to come over for dinner. Tell Grandma the truth, whats wrong, is it because that boy upset you? This shameless liar How was she supposed to explain 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 should come 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 hour later, she was reluctantly sitting in the car. As soon as she left the villa, 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 up later. 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 glanced 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 glass 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 Siqing laughed 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, laughing 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? Its laughable Su Wanwan also laughed, 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, come 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 - Chapter 47: 047, as stupid as a pig Chapter 47: 047, as stupid as a pig Translator: 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 accused 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 accounts 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 become 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 actually laughing. Indeed, Su Wanwan was laughing. 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 explaining 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 a large 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 - Chapter 48: 048, seek a lawyer. Chapter 48: 048, seek a lawyer. Translator: 549690339 Article 24.6 of the Criminal Code stipulates that deliberately fabricating and spreading false facts, defaming others personalities, ruining others reputations, openly insulting and slandering others, amounts to malicious slander. If the circumstances are severe, it constitutes a crime of defamation and a criminal lawsuit 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 regulations that clearly? But evidently, the two were alarmed, especially Xing Siqing whose face turned white with fear. Xing Yuyun, though relatively calm, was somewhat flustered. He quickly explained, 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 planning 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 my lawyer later. 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 relationship 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 relationships 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 display 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 slapped 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 play tough with a cutesy voice, Honey, do you think thats okay? Huo Jingshen was looking at her too, with a hint of laughter 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 slander 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-in-law already pointed out two options for you. If you dont appreciate it, then you should hurry up and get a reliable lawyer for the Xing family. Huo Jingshen didnt want to waste any more time, it was almost noon, and the old lady 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 with laughter. 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 hand landed on her waist and lifted her in mid-airHuo Jingshen had picked her up princess-style! What are you doing? Su Wanwan lay 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 - Chapter 49: 049, Postponing the Wedding Chapter 49: 049, Postponing the Wedding Translator: 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 becoming gentle, Its all my fault, I was too rough. Su Wanwan remained silent. But she felt slightly more comfortable 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 plan to divorce. Su Wanwan: * * * Half an hour later, 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 glance. 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 play with her phone. However, she was quickly interrupted by an unexpected visitor. Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law! 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 too lazy to interact with him, she responded indifferently and continued to play 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 uncomfortable. 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 Jingshen coming 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 Ashen later. 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 planning 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 planning 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 bitch come too? Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: 050, teaching a lesson to the little bitches Chapter 50: 050, teaching a lesson to the little bitches Translator: 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 flaunting 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 explain, 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-in-law, 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 explaining, but clearly, he was setting her up. As expected, Old Master Huo frowned, Siqing, what did you say to your sister-in-law? 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-in-law! 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-in-law, 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 glanced 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 playing 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 plans 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 a commercial decoration project. Do you know which company 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 slapped, 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 - Chapter 51: 051, Climb up the branch Chapter 51: 051, Climb up the branch Translator: 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 live comfortably like Zhexi. With that, he went to the balcony to answer the phone. Su Wanwan was left flabbergasted. 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-class 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-in-law Me call her sister-in-law? No way! Siqing Im definitely not calling her my sister-in-law! Xing Siqing wiped away her tears fiercely. Did she think shed become 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 classmates 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 the companys 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 accustomed 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-in-law 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 - Chapter 52: 052, listen to your wife Chapter 52: 052, listen to your wife Translator: 549690339 Chu Xiuhuangs call immediately came blasting 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 old lady 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-in-law and the other was supposed to be given to my eldest daughter-in-law. 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 old lady 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 hue complemented her skin tone perfectly, adding a touch of elegance to the young girl. The more the old lady 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-in-law. As for the wedding, well follow the old mans advice and delay 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 old lady of the Huo family. Although they had only known each other for a few days, the old lady 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 old lady laughed 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 you later 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 old lady 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 old lady 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 - Chapter 53: 053, face turned green Chapter 53: 053, face turned green Translator: 549690339 In the afternoon, after receiving a phone call, Huo Jingshen went to the company. Su Wanwan was still troubled over the issue of clothes, and initially planned 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 and laughing 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 aparticularly good figure, and isextremely beautiful! As for the style, emmmmm you decide, use a womans perspective to pick something that a mature and successful man like Mr. Huo would be attracted to. Do you understand? Understood. * * * Due to this miscommunication, 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 black 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 black 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 glared 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 young lady 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 - Chapter 54: 054, no patience Chapter 54: 054, no patience Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshen cleared his throat and picked up his mobile phone. Jingshen, this is Xiu Xin. Im sorry for calling at this late 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 Jingshen compromised. * * 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 salary 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 black.. Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: 055, Brother Jingshen Chapter 55: 055, Brother Jingshen Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan started playing on her phone after taking a shower. Her long, seaweed-like black hair was casually spread out on her shoulders, and the oversized mens black T-shirt made her slender frame even more apparent. When Huo Jingshen came out of the bathroom, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes glared 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 blanket 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 blanket, 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 collaborations 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 Xin comes back, I will ask her for a divorce.. Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: 056, must get used to Chapter 56: 056, must get used to Translator: 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 Wanwan lay 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 was completely exhausted. Once she was relaxed, 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 eyelashes, 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-in-laws house was absolutely unacceptable! 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 The last item was a black 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 Huo coming up. The elderly lady, dressed in a plain 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 everything last night. Huh? Su Wanwan froze. Heard everything? Heard what? Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: 057, Drama Queen Grandma Chapter 57: 057, Drama Queen Grandma Translator: 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 was completely bemused. For goodness sake, is the soundproofing in this room really that bad? Even though they didnt do anything last 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 glanced 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 old lady 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 Zhexi coming home. Still dressed in his flamboyantly 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 to come 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 Cheng comes 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 glared 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 dont lack 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 to come back in this lifetime! I know. Mentioning the previous incident, Huo Zhexi once again gave Su Wanwan a resentful glare. If it wasnt for this bitch, and Mo Weiyi, how would he be laughed at by others on such a public occasion for wearing a green hat? As a result, he lost his cool and slapped 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 up late, 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 to come home in the afternoon to try on the ceremonial dress. Time passed so quickly, two days later 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 fake laugh, Lets go, please.. Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: 058, Spoiled Rich Kid Chapter 58: 058, Spoiled Rich Kid Translator: 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-in-law. 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-in-law for now. What could he possibly do to her? So, she got into his flashy 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 accelerator to the floor. He glanced 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 occasional 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 plan 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 slap 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 to laugh 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 out laughing, 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 almost laughed. 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 flashy 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 the latest 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 - Chapter 59: 059, High-end formal wear Chapter 59: 059, High-end formal wear Translator: 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 glanced 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 played 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 she come 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 a large alimony. Perhaps this cunning girl married that old man Huo because of the money? As Qiao Zixin was contemplating 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 front laden with clothes, and storage cabinets 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 - Chapter 60: 060, good acting skills Chapter 60: 060, good acting skills Translator: 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 to laugh. 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 Jingshen come 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 placed 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 clang clang 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 collapsed 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 explaining, Its not Wanwans fault. I was careless and bumped my back onto the doorknob. Youre still defending her? Su Yuntang seemed abruptly inflamed 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 be coming 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 blame her. The more she spoke, the more it sounded like an obvious denial. Su Yanyan glared at Su Wanwan whose eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she accused 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 slapped 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 slapped 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 - Chapter 61: 061, aggressively defending shortcomings Chapter 61: 061, aggressively defending shortcomings Translator: 549690339 Su Yuntang was furious beyond words, he immediately tried to struggle free, but found his wrist was as though being clamped 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 ninety, 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, completely 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-in-law, 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 flat and gentle, and was even somewhat polite, What happened to my father-in-law, 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-in-law 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 explained weakly, I accidentally 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 Yis laughter 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-in-law; 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 placed 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, come with me to the study. Su Yuntang, clutching his wrist, gritted his teeth in pain and followed behind.. Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: 062, Final Ultimatum Chapter 62: 062, Final Ultimatum Translator: 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 flashed 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 glanced 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 to complain. 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-in-law. 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. Becoming the daughter-in-law of the Huo family is much more glamorous compared 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 slap. 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 successful. 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 slap 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 - Chapter 63: 063, doted on daughter-in-law Chapter 63: 063, doted on daughter-in-law Translator: 549690339 Su Xueqin gripped the backrest of the chair tightly, yet his voice remained bland, Havent you checked it out at the hospital? Su Yuntang didnt respond. He stood there, his brow furrowed, a complex and somewhat bewildered expression on his face. Years ago, Su Xueqin suddenly brought back the swaddled Su Wanwan, saying that Ya Jin had complications in the hospital and died from excessive blood loss. With no relatives or friends, the hospital had to take leave of the child in welfare care, before her ancestors accepted her half a year later. 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 relationship 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, regularly not returning home at night, frequent visitor at the police station The inferiority in her bones was truly just like her mother. His uncontrollable hatred in his heart was just like his uncontrollable 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 to come home and try on their dresses tonight, they had plans 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 glanced 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 street lamp, saw that the little lady 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 black 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 villa. 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 clank sound from behind them. Then the maids voice rose, My God, what happened to the Third Master? Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: 064, wait for me Chapter 64: 064, wait for me Translator: 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, completely 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 flamboyantly 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 flared 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 exclaimed. 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 of comfort 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 plague. 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 explained, 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 hour later, 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 collagen. 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 - Chapter 65: 065, teach the fool a lesson Chapter 65: 065, teach the fool a lesson Translator: 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, come to the study with me. Weve already said theres no talking about business in the house. Cant you be a little considerate at this late 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 explain, Uh, what he meant was that hes going to change the dressing on my leg later. 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, glaring 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 her laughter, and spoke in a peaceful tone: The last 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 playing with you, he will definitely dump you sooner or later. Do you really believe that you can be my sister-in-law 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-in-law, but right now, I am your sister-in-law 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, slamming the door in a resounding crash. Su Wanwans mouth twitched involuntarily. This blockhead Subconsciously comparing 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 rarely laughed 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 play 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 play 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 - Chapter 66: 066, Refined Scum Chapter 66: 066, Refined Scum Translator: 549690339 Lishui Bay Villa. On the first floor living room, Mo Weiyi picked up her mobile phone and glanced 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 nasolabial lines deep and stern. His current silence made him seem particularly 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 had come 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 become so angry today She suddenly thought back to what Mo Yaoxiong had said before he left. Was it because of the matter from last 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 black 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, displaying unabashed, infatuated affection for him. She was utterly innocent and naive. Mo Weiyi often thought: Her Xiaobai was a perfect example of a classy 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..

Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshen returned to his room, greeted by the sound of running water. He shut the door and glanced 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 glass 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 tobacco, the lure of nicotine slightly calming him, but it did not last 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 black 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 slammed 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 medicine later. 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-in-law 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 available. Su Wanwan leaned leisurely against the headboard, sensing that her enthusiasm was a little strange. Why would a relative 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 place nearby and you and brother-in-law let me know when you are free, okay? Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: 068, private investigation Chapter 68: 068, private investigation Translator: 549690339 But Im afraid I might be busy tomorrow. Su Wanwan intentionally remarked. Then the day after tomorrow, whenever youre available. Qiao Zixin made a point to accommodate 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 impeccable 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 regularly. 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 acclaimed 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 listed companies. 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 success 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 particular 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 flat 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 would laugh along. Engrossed in her viewing, her phone was suddenly snatched away. What are you doing? Why are you taking my phone? Su Wanwan immediately glared 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 blatant favoritism towards Su Yanyan, Su Wanwan wasnt happy and became even more rebellious, spending the majority of her adolescence clashing 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 old lady 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 - Chapter 69: 069, Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again. Chapter 69: 069, Mrs. Huo wants to divorce again. Translator: 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 already commanded, 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 to last? Su Wanwan wanted to curse, but Thinking about the poor sound insulation 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 two large 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 magnetic voice interrupted her thoughts. Su Wanwan lifted her face, glaring 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 black trousers, slightly raising his chin, his fingers moving smoothly and elegantly. Standing tall, he looked like a handsome, successful man. Whether it was his eyes or fingers, they were all clean and refreshing. Who would think that such a gentlemanly man is actually a complete 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, glaring 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 chaos last night that she forgot to bring it back. She doesnt need favors from this hypocrite! Then just accompany 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 villa. 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 she lazily 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 - Chapter 70: 070, Fragrant warning: Call husband! Chapter 70: 070, 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 dollar 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 only comply. * * On the other side, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen suggested moving back to the Imperial Court villa. 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-in-law is young and bashful. She must have felt too embarrassed to be amorous after Lady Huos casual comment yesterday; hence why it was so quiet last 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 villa. As soon as they entered through the large gate, a running black 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 black 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 glared 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 accept 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 glared 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 black-furred monster pounce at him. But before it could even touch his suit trousers, Huo Jingshen lifted a hand, and the once jubilant German Shepherd instantly calmed down, resorting to crouching in front of him like a playful dog, wagging its big tongue playfully. 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 villa. * * Huo Jingshen lead KO into its kennel, fitted its collar around its neck, and tied the other end to a pillar. 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 owner comes home? Poor doggie! Huo Jingshen stopped, turned back, and looked at its glowing black eyes, Your mom doesnt like you. Awwoooo! KO howled mournfully again. After Huo Jingshen left for the company, 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 accepted her WeChat friend request. Su Wanwan had indeed forgotten about this, so she quickly replied, Ive been too busy the last 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 a commercial 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 entire landscape 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 - Chapter 71: 071, Taking advantage of cousin’s wool Chapter 71: 071, Taking advantage of cousins wool Translator: 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 necklace, 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 place 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 relatives. 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 quickly laughed 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, lamb 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 magazine company. Although she worked in an office building nearby, her monthly salary 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 the last 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 become 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 nonchalantly 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 plans.. Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: 072, there is only one umbrella Chapter 72: 072, there is only one umbrella Translator: 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 elaborating. 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 umbrella? 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 someones coming 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, explained, 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 black Bentley parked at the side of the road. The car door opened, and a tall, handsome man stepped out, holding a black umbrella. It was past seven in the evening. It was dark outside, the street lamps 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 glanced at her coldly, his voice low and detached, Theres only one umbrella. Thats okay, Mr. Huo. Qiao Zixin was considerate in reply. You can take Wanwan to the car first. This way, Huo Jingshen would have to come 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 was completely 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 planned 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 - Chapter 73: 073, is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower? Chapter 73: 073, is Wanwan a Xiaobai flower? Translator: 549690339 I Wanwan. She had to find something to talk about, The wedding is going to start at twelve noon tomorrow, dont forget and be late. 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 black 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 welcome. 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 one last 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 black Mu Shang drove away. The car sped up so abruptly and quickly that it splashed 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 dress later, 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 playing, and the black, white, and grey design was low-key yet luxurious. Good evening, Mr. Huo. Soon a staff member came over to welcome them, his eyes looking straight at Su Wanwan. Those who frequented this salon were either societys elite ladies 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 successful the man, the more he loves younger women! Su Wanwan indeed rarely went to such places, 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. Welcome! 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 too late, lets come back tomorrow. It s still raining outside, and the driver hasnt arrived yet, whats the rush? I saw a dress here last 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 to come out. She wanted to see, what kind of woman could afford to spend so much money for such an unwearable dress! Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: 074, an old man’s rotten love affair Chapter 74: 074, an old mans rotten love affair Translator: 549690339 Sis, come sit. Xiang Ranxin hesitated a bit before sitting down with her younger sister. The last 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 become the laughing 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 glances 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, black eyes. Before she could react, his gaze had already moved on. The mans expression is calm as if he was looking at a total stranger. Xiang Ranxin felt a complex mix of emotions. She felt a loss, embarrassment, and most of all, a sigh of relief. About ten minutes later, 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 particular; 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 flamboyant appearance. Feeling it lacked 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, accentuating 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 place. A Huo? In the whole of Nancheng, there was only one Huo family. Nonchalantly 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 accentuated her beauty. Beautiful and cunning, no wonder a playboy 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 uncomfortable, 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 glanced at her and then went to turn on the tap. Suddenly, the woman next to her turned around and splashed cold water into Su Wanwans face. Everything happened within half a second. Then, Su Wanwan quickly turned around and slapped the woman without a second thought. The slap 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 slap her! Even her parents had never laid 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 accidental, 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 splashing water to her face out of resentment. Soon, would they resort to throwing acid? Or maybe knives? Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: 075, is he your biological brother? Chapter 75: 075, is he your biological brother? Translator: 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. 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 is coming 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 villa. 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 second later, he came to a startling realization. Damn! Im the victim here, what am I scared of? Ive become used to being cowardly. Huo Jingshen glanced at the dress on the floor and then at his hand. He instructed Su Wanwan, Go upstairs first. My dress Ill have him compensate. 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 voice lacked confidence as he replied, II wasnt paying attention just now and accidentally 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 villa. 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 could completely ignore Xing Yuyuns recent indifference. Most importantly, tomorrow she could make Su Wanwan lose face in public. Being the lady 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 - Chapter 76: 076, Old Man Su is Furious Chapter 76: 076, Old Man Su is Furious Translator: 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 vast network, 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 play, 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 flashes 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 explained. Su Yuntang didnt say anything but inwardly sneered. It would be best if that troublemaker didnt come! After another round of applause, 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 glared at her angrily, Explain 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 glasses, 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 glanced 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 delay 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 replied composedly, Xiaowei. Call her here! Okay Old Chap. Huo Qinyu intervened, Everyone is watching. Let Yanyan and Yuyun continue their toast. We can sort this out later, its just a dress. Yes, we can explain it to Wanwan later, 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 delay 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 glances 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 a commotion 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 - Chapter 77: 077, Wanwan makes a stunning appearance Chapter 77: 077, Wanwan makes a stunning appearance Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan entered along with Huo Jingshen, but Su Yanyans gaze was completely focused on Su Wanwan. She was dressed in an ankle-length, lotus-pink gown, embellished with tiny crystals and an outer layer of transparent chiffon. The lightweight fabric accentuated her graceful figure as she moved, oozing sublime elegance. Her waist-length, seaweed-like black 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 necklace 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, her late 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 necklace 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 glass 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 discomfort vanished, and upon seeing the handsome couple of Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, Su Xueqin beamed with joy, showering them with compliments. My granddaughter looks so beautiful today. Su Wanwan took a glance at Su Yanyan before saying, Grandpa, Im sorry were late, 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 succession of gasps later, the discussion escalated. 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 her laughter, and kept saying, Thats the way Wanwan, the late arrival strategy! Have you seen the dung-eating faces of that couple? Their spotlight was completely 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 be late. 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, combined 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 relatives 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 the company 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 particularly 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 genteel lady.. Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: 078, do you have to try so hard? Chapter 78: 078, do you have to try so hard? Translator: 549690339 Is your bracelet made of emeralds? Mo Weiyi started chatting again, So beautiful, it must be worth millions, right? That expensive! Su Wanwan exclaimed, glancing 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 accidentally damaging it. But it was actually worth millions? This is expensive? Your necklace is even more so! Mo Weiyi spoke confidently, Tck tck tck, top-grade ice jadeite, your Huo grandpa mustve bought it from the black market, right? I have one too. I heard this kind costs tens of millions, and its priceless. But she rarely wore the jadeite necklace 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 necklace. Yingyingying. Mo Weiyi felt a bit of psychological imbalance. Why did Xiao Yebai never take the initiative to give her gifts? He totally lacks 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 of comparison 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 were coming over to propose a toast at this time. First, it was a few relatives 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 occasion was formal, and Huo Jingshen was also properly dressed in a well-pressed white dress shirt with an erect collar, fitted black suit trousers, and immaculate black 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 glass 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 glass of wine in front of him, slightly nodded his head, and gracefully finished the small glass of white wine. Qiao Zixin felt somewhat disappointed, but beholding his impeccably handsome features, her infatuation quickly vanquished any unwelcome 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 successor 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 Zixin completely 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 clashed 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 necklace 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 glass at this point. At her hint, Xing Siqing hurriedly picked up the red wine and filled her glass 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 glass 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 glass of wine in her hand. Just as she was about to clink glasses 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 glass had been splashed onto her! Since she was larger 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 thin layer of lace 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 exclaimed, The bride had a wardrobe malfunction! Is the bride going commando? 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 - Chapter 79: 079, the wrongdoer prosecutes first, the mean dog bites first Chapter 79: 079, the wrongdoer prosecutes first, the mean dog bites first Translator: 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 splashing water? The high wine glass 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 splashed 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 accidentally knocked your own wine glass 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 their laughter. 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 glass 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 accuse 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 glass 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 splash it on me to embarrass me in public? Instead, you are here playing victim and accusing 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 glass 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 glass? 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 glass 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 glass, not afraid of slapping 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 - Chapter 80: 080, the real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Palace Chapter 80: 080, the real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Palace Translator: 549690339 Her beautiful phoenix eyes assessed Su Yanyan from head to toe, then laughed, 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, then laughed, 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 her laughter 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 place 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 her composure 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 plainly 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 accusingly, 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 slap 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 slap 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 plant a needle in it to stab me? Plant a needle? The crowd gasped in shock. Is this a palace drama? This isnt Su Yanyan, its madam Rong! This is a real-life version of The Story of Yanxi Palace! 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 explain 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 calculated 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 accident. If this incident came out at todays wedding, she could entirely push all the blame onto the maid. But she hadnt expected that it would escalate 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 to come 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 villa. 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 - Chapter 81: 081,1 find it dirty Chapter 81: 081,1 find it dirty Translator: 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 black eyes, his heart couldnt help but thump. Since the last time he suffered secretly from Huo Jingshen at the Su Familys, his perception of this son-in-law had become a bit complicated. 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-in-law. As the mother-in-law, 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 silently laughed. 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 accident. She didnt expect Su Yanyan to immediately blame 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 play the victim and was scheming, but now it seems that the white lotus has grown up and her heart has turned black. 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 ambulance! 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 ambulance. 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 carefully last 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 a lazy 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 Internet 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 becomes 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 - Chapter 82: 082, Several Gossipy Women Chapter 82: 082, Several Gossipy Women Translator: 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 the company, right? You can go ahead, I will return with Weiyi later. 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 never come 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 studied law, 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 it comes 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, laughing arrogantly, Then do you believe that with just one sentence from me, I can make your familys company 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 - Chapter 83: 083, Xiaobai is one of the top ten outstanding young people Chapter 83: 083, Xiaobai is one of the top ten outstanding young people Translator: 549690339 | If she really offends the Mo Family because of this, affecting her own companys 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 your company 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 Weiyi laughed 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 years later. He is proficient in six or seven languages, 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 accomplishments, 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, laughing 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 flamboyant laugh 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 displaying its brand on the outside? Jian Xiaomans face turned pale, and she hurriedly hid the handbag behind her. This handbag is the latest 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 and ladies in the circle present. In such occasions, what was being displayed 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 too lazy 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 collar 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 - Chapter 84: 084, did you marry a stray cat? Chapter 84: 084, did you marry a stray cat? Translator: 549690339 After that, he immediately started coming 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 flatly refused. Her, disadvantaged? It would be fortunate if others arent disadvantaged by her. Also One should never air dirty laundry 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 explain, 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 claimed 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, accompanied by a personnel. His handsome face bore no expression as his gaze passed over them, his eyes black 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 explained 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 blankly. 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 glance. 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 glance 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 seconds later, Mo Weiyi spoke up again. Can you at least send me to VM styling, Mr.. Huo? Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: 085, Xiaobai misses me, right? Chapter 85: 085, Xiaobai misses me, right? Translator: 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 explain 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 gaudy large 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 uncomfortably, suddenly feeling uncomfortable 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 elaborate, I dont have time to take care of him recently. I plan 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. Two large 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 accept it. Huo Jingshen didnt react, Lets go after youre done. Half an hour later. Outside the villa 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 villa, 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 black shirt and trousers, his handsome face serious and indifferent behind his glasses. 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 glasses, 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 black eyes slightly squinted behind the glasses, 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 - Chapter 86: 086, would you like to have a candlelight dinner? Chapter 86: 086, would you like to have a candlelight dinner? Translator: 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 plastered 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 collar 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 flashed 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. Accompanied by his naturally cold and pale complexion, 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 but compliment herself about her excellent choice of a husband. From the moment 15-year-old Xiao Yebai, dressed in white shirt and black 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 rested comfortably 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 glasses. 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 the last 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. At last, 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, overcoming 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 clambered 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 blade. 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 villa.. Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: 087, a knight can be killed, but not insulted! Chapter 87: 087, a knight can be killed, but not insulted! Translator: 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 contemplative. 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, his large hands gripped her, pulling her back while his deep, magnetic 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 explain, 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 immaculately 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 play 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 a large, 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 minutes later, 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 - Chapter 88: 088, The Drama Queen’s Assistant is Chapter 88: 088, The Drama Queens Assistant is Limitlessly Imaginative Translator: 549690339 No wonder she felt uncomfortable in her lower abdomen last night. It turns out she just got her period. It was a lifesaver. Huo Jingshen squinted his black 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-related 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 car last 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-related reason. If all else fails, she could just mention the earring. After all, Su Wanwan was her cousin. It was normal for relatives to help each other at work, so it shouldnt raise any suspicions. What kind of work-related stuff? Su Wanwan asked again. Qiao Zixin had to make up another excuse, Our magazine is planning 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 relayed 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 can come 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 relayed 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 Flash? 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 glared 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 explained, When I went out for dinner with my cousin yesterday, I ate two large 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 uncomfortable. Ill check, he said. Check your sister! Su Wanwan glared 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 place 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 discomfort 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 accused 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 minutes later, Su Wanwan, dressed in her pajamas, came downstairs. Upon reaching the living room, she could hear the clanging sounds coming 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 collar, had his sleeves rolled up, held a vegetable knife in his hand, and was wearing a black 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 more comfortable. 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 placed 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 uncomfortable. Is this how older men usually behave? Because of their abundant past relationships? 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 glass of brown sugar water, drank it up, and then huffed off. * * In the living room, Su Wanwan played 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 the lady 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 already come 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 exemplary 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 glance. Though he didnt say anything, his glare 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 becoming 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 - Chapter 89: 089, is this a request for inspection? Chapter 89: 089, is this a request for inspection? Translator: 549690339 | Huo Jingshen tossed the bag onto the sofa, Go change, wash your hands, and come 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 palate that was sure to stimulate 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 glass, poured himself a drink, and brought it to his lips. Can I have a little red wine? The young lady 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 glass 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 indeed commendable. Although it was just common home-cooked dishes, each dish was made to a standard that was not inferior to a restaurants, especially such elaborate presentations accompanied 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 glass, and suddenly, he spoke, I cook for you, what will you do for me? Do Su Wanwan reacted belatedly, 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, playing with the wine glass 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 glaring 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 black 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 - Chapter 90: 090, Xiaobai, do I look good like this? Chapter 90: 090, Xiaobai, do I look good like this? Translator: 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 blame? 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 Villa. 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, comfortably reclining on his sofa, Baby Wanwan, what are you doing? Im busy. Su Wanwan panted slightly, Gotta hang up now, well talk later. 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 explained 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? Just last 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 classic Australian jewelry brand. Even though its not a top-tier luxury item, considering Qiao Zixins income 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 flaunting her wealth or did she have ulterior motives? And she also accidentally 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, how come 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 flashy 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 replace the previous ones. After wearing the matching necklace, 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, placing it aside. Xiao Yebai barely opened his eyes. At home, he didnt wear his plain glasses. His black shirt unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and firm collarbone. 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 nonchalantly, Pretty. Though it was half-hearted, Mo Weiyi accepted his compliment, 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 - Chapter 91: 091,1 love Xiaobai the most Chapter 91: 091,1 love Xiaobai the most Translator: 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 busy lately. When are you not busy? Every time I ask you, its always busy, busy, busy. Mo Weiyi stroked his stiff short black 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 as composed 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 the company, 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 cabinet? 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 them later. 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 hour later. 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, compared 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, the large sunglasses 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 glances from others. Once she was on the 20th floor, she exited the elevator, glanced 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 sunglasses, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, Qiao Zixin.. Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: 092, stay a bit further from married men Chapter 92: 092, stay a bit further from married men Translator: 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 become 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 personally come 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 glamorous. 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 necklace 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 haute lady. 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 display of diamond jewelry? From head to toe, she was glittering, all dolled up; she was more lavish 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 discomfort 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 with laughter, 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 accident 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 it comes 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 nonchalance, 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 Weiyi laughed, 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 hour later, the two met at the entrance of the mall. Because it was that time of the month and she wanted comfort, Su Wanwan wore a pair of denim short shorts and a yellow embroidered biouse. She didnt dress up much, she looked completely casual next to the flirtatious, floor-length dressed Mo Weiyi. Why do I feel like your little follower? Mo Weiyi laughingly 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 planning 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 it comes 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 month later, 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 - Chapter 93: 093, is someone stealing your thunder? Chapter 93: 093, is someone stealing your thunder? Translator: 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: Welcome! 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 blackbelts? Bring me ten of them; Xiaobai really likes the color black, 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 black. 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 events lately and not receiving her living expenses during her last 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 account 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 glanced at the message before tossing his phone aside. About half an hour later, 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 his computer 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 become 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, Ill come up with something right away. * * Meanwhile, because of the large 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 Villa, 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 villa was a wedding gift from Mo Yaoxiong to his daughter and son-in-law. 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 glasses 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 - Chapter 94: 094, Wanwan is a bok choy (Xiao Bai Cai) Chapter 94: 094, Wanwan is a bok choy (Xiao Bai Cai) Translator: 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 few common 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 become 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 incoming 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 displayed a sense of superiority, almost as if he was a wealthy landowner 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 place. However, the fact that they could still operate successfully 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-in-law 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-in-law, have you turned eighteen yet? Did you finish your homework? Pfft! Nangong Ci broke into laughter. Huo Jingshen glanced 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 explain in a serious tone, Our sister-in-law 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 they come for a gathering or for sabotage? Alright, enough from each of you. Chu Xiuhuang, who appeared rather lazy, spoke, Big brother barely managed to find a girl like this. Dont scare her off, huh. Su Wanwan remembered this man from her last 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 - Chapter 95: 095, Men are all jerks! Chapter 95: 095, Men are all jerks! Translator: 549690339 At least from now on, big brother wont have to work so hard anymore haha. After Chu Xiuhuang added this, the crowd erupted into laughter 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 class! Shameless! Okay, everyone, lets keep it appropriate, there are ladies present, Nangong Ci tried to salvage the situation. Sister-in-law, 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 and laughed quietly. A gentle-looking man looked puzzled, Isnt sister-in-law 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 into laughter 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 flames. Great, now all the men knew she was on her period. Wasnt this horribly embarrassing? Any other warm drinks will do, Huo Jingshen compromised. 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 glass, Come here. Su Wanwan obediently walked over, sat down next to him, her eyes still fixed on the glass 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 glass 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-in-law, 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 explained, 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? A large 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-in-law, 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 glass, a sarcastic smile playing 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 only lasted a month before breaking up? So young master Chu was a confirmed playboy? Su Wanwan laughed 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 playboy 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 - Chapter 96: 096, a good dog does not block the way Chapter 96: 096, a good dog does not block the way Translator: 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 tobacco 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 uncomfortable as he watched her. He had drunk too much earlier, the built-up pressure of the past few days and the various stresses accumulated 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 flashed 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. This comforting thought changed completely 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 porcelain-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 - Chapter 97: 097, that old man is terrible! Chapter 97: 097, that old man is terrible! Translator: 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 actually lash 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 blame 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 is complicated. He lacks 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 a layer 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 explanation, 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 playful 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-in-law 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 slandering. 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 grassland 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 place? 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 explain. In other words, he was here for a legitimate reason. Chu Xiuhuang glanced 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 so comfortable 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 glance, 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 - Chapter 98: 098, is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means? Chapter 98: 098, is Mr. Huo Settling personal grievances through public means? Translator: 549690339 | Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but burst into laughter, quickly coughing lightly to suppress his laughter. Otherwise, hed miss out on the good show coming 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 was completely right! Xing Yuyuns pupils contracted swiftly, as if he had been slapped 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 relationships. Not only were the shares of the Huo familys uncles and aunts squeezed, but even Siqings small plan 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 black 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 balance 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 black 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 playful 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 playboy 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 place, and you say its none of my business? Chu Xiuhuang scolded lightly, too lazy 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 black 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 punch landed 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 fist landed 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 glance 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 from last 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 Jingshen laid down his final edict. You cant tell me what to do! Huo Jingshens eyes narrowed, his tone soothing but nonetheless bearing warnings, Dont force me to repeat myself. Also He spoke out each word, About what just happened, how do you plan to explain it? Su Wanwan was taken aback, Explain 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 blamed you yet.. Who told you to come out so early? I hadnt even finished beating that scumbag! Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: 099, stay away from the jerk. Chapter 99: 099, stay away from the jerk. Translator: 549690339 What clandestine 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 blamed you yet. Who told you to come 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 Wanwan completely. 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-in-law, Nangong Ci considerately picked up Su Wenwens purse shed left at the club and planned 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-in-law. Holy shit! It was like a ravenous wolf pouncing on a lamb; his patently ferociousness was simply brutal! Feeling it inappropriate to interrupt, he decided to wait in place. 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-in-law. 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 young lady. 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 - Chapter 100:100, one can’t judge a man by his appearance Chapter 100:100, one cant judge a man by his appearance Translator: 549690339 | Su Wanwan did not understand at first. But hearing her best friends lewd laughter, 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 stop laughing so lewdly? Besides, Xiao Yebai is such a cold man, would he do such lascivious 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 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 glanced at the time. Nine oclock in the evening. Why hasnt Xiaobai come 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 wall lamp illuminated the large 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, black desk, Xiao Yebai was taking a call, glasses 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-related matter. Setting down his phone, he raised his hand, turning off the computer 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 busy lately. Xiao Yebai leaned back against the chair, his gaze on her calm and still. I dont care. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. If you work late 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 glasses plucked from him. After setting down the rimless glasses on the table, Mo Weiyi burrowed back into his arms, grinning, I still like how Xiaobai looks without glasses. 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 glasses to appear more gentlemanly and friendly. After getting married however, Mo Weiyi thought that Xiaobai was just a classic case of a seemingly cultured man hiding his true colors. Wearing glasses was pure pretense! Besides, he has such beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, so enchanting and well-defined with thick, long lashes 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 glasses. 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-related 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 semblance 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 glasses 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 is coming 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 is coming back to the country? Chapter 101 - Chapter 101:101, wedding anniversary gift Chapter 101:101, wedding anniversary gift Translator: 549690339 | She mentioned it to me last 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 would complete 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 relatives, 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. 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 doesnt come back here. Pleassee, dad. Shes already on the plane. Lets talk about it when she comes 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. She lay 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 planning 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 Weiyi lay there, her dark curls scattered on the pillow. Her face was flushed, her laughter 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 shopping last 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 Kai comes to deliver my gift later, come 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 and coming 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 applauded himself silently. Mo Weiyi frowned, looking at the two green little turtles in the box, her face puzzled.. Chapter 102 - Chapter 102:102, very cute in green Chapter 102:102, very cute in green Translator: 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 and laughed, 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 will last 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 Weiyi laughed happily, So, tonight, I will spend a romantic evening with Xiaobai at the hotel. You come over to my place 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 class, 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 Villa? Its on my way. Plus, its going to rain soon, and I see you didnt bring an umbrella. Su Wanwan looked up at the sky. Wasnt it sunny? Where did the rain come from? Could his excuse be any more lame? Im going to the city center to have dinner with a friend. Pan Hui adjusted his glasses as if to explain, 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 classes 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 club last 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, glad that she had been cheated. First playing 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 still commanding, Where are you? Su Wanwan glanced 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 the complex.. Chapter 103 - Chapter 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 Translator: 549690339 The security guard at the entrance took a glance and surprisingly didnt stop them. Its raining quite heavily, let me drop you at your front door, he explained. Su Wanwan had no choice but to give her door number. Five minutes later, 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 villa 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 the land here was extremely valuable, let alone such a large 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 has come 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 exclaimed as her body slammed into a solid figure. Huo Jingshen stood there, holding a black umbrella, his gaze focused on Pan Hui who just got out of the car. Su Wanwan quickly explained, 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 welcome. 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 black umbrella 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 black, 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 relative? 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 out last 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 from last night? Husband? When these three key words were put together, the impact was too strong and the shock too wide, leaving him completely flabbergasted. It wasnt until Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan away and the large iron gate of the villa slowly closed with a clang that Pan Hui realized he was completely soaked. * * Once they entered the villa, Su Wanwan fiercely pushed Huo Jingshen away and started venting. Why did you come 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 umbrella 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 even compare to your perfect husband? Huo Jingshen shamelessly exclaimed. 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 slandering 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 a large 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 playing games again? She was unsure whether she should eat it or not. She glanced 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 excessively composed. 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 become filthy! Su Wanwan was ashamed, she quickly sat down and started eating. She had to admit, on such a rainy night, coming 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 was completely empty, even drinking up the last 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-clad body sat straight, his complexion 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-in-law come 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 so late? 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 glances. 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-in-law, 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 relationship 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 a commotion at the mansion and was taken to the police station.. Chapter 104 - Chapter 104:104, little sister-in-law is hitting people again Chapter 104:104, little sister-in-law is hitting people again Translator: 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, claiming 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 the companys 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 the company, 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 played 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 would come 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 glance 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 slap 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 slap caused Xing Siqing to yelp in pain. Xing Siqing lowered her head to look at her reddened arm, anger blazing 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 slap 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 slapped 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, accompanied by the sharp sound of a slap. Xing Siqings face was jerked to one side by the force of the slap, 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 slap 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 claw at Su Wanwans arm, but due to the pain and her short height, she couldnt reach, making herself hurt even more.. Chapter 105 - Chapter 105:105,1 believe in my wife Chapter 105:105,1 believe in my wife Translator: 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 accept the situation, yet with the outrage revolving her, there seemed to be no better solution. Its getting late, 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-in-law has hit someone again! Huo Jingshen: The crowd: * * The hallway was crammed. Security guards, doctors, nurses, and nosy patients and relatives 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 Ci commanded in a pretend-to-be-busy manner. Huo Jingshen shot him a cold glare. 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 her complaint, She! Shes the one who hit me! Xing Siqings hair was in disarray, and her face was clearly marked with slaps. 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 glance, 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 accused, 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 blaming 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 glared 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 plans 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 to laugh. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What drama is unfolding here? A romantic TV show? Showcasing their love? Even after his little sister-in-law had beaten his own sister to such an extent, big brother still obstinately defended her? Huo Jingshen stood there, his eyes soft, his demeanor relaxed, yet the words he uttered portrayed his blatant 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 unacceptable, 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 surveillance footage can prove it! After speaking, Xing Siqing glared at Su Wanwan, delivering yet another shocking proclamation, 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 surveillance 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 rather late, 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 outcome. Exactly. Nangong Ci immediately echoed, Youre all family, why make a fuss? Im not related to her! Xing Siqing yelled as she interrupted him, She left me like this, its all clear in the surveillance camera!1 To the monitoring room. At Huo Jingshens command, Nangong Ci had no choice but to turn around and lead the way.. Chapter 106 - Chapter 106:106, Justifiable Defense Chapter 106:106, Justifiable Defense Translator: 549690339 ** A large group of people headed towards the surveillance room in the basement. The guards quickly got to work. Soon, the surveillance video began to play. 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-in-law was really fierce, pulling hair, scratching faces, slapping, 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 according to the circumstances this doesnt feel like him at all; such submission was out of character. This was beyond expectation. The next second. However, according to the surveillance footage, Siqing was the first to attack. From a legal standpoint, when one is attacked, it is lawful 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 applauding. 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 surveillance 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 surveillance video for the restroom? Get it out quickly! Sorry, the guard replied. There is no surveillance 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-in-law, I still remember that your rude words last time caused her to get hurt! Do you never learn from your past mistakes? Grandma, last time, it was clearly her who bumped into me first, I explained it to you Siqing. Huo Qinyu interrupted her daughter directly. Apologize to your sister-in-law. 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 flashed in her eyes. Qinyu, is this the well-educated daughter you raised?! Mother, Siqing didnt mean it. Huo Qinyu hurriedly tried to explain. 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 accusations, 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 slap. With a bang, the entire surveillance room quieted down. Nangong Ci was also left dumbfounded. My god! He really had his eyes opened today! It started with his sister-in-law 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 slapped 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 slap can remind you to learn your lesson and keep your mouth shut in the future! Huo Qinyu reprimanded sternly. That slap 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 you last time, whether you like it or not, Su Wanwan is now Ashens wife, and your sister-in-law. Her status has changed drastically, why cant you accept 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 relatively 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 surveillance room, Mrs. Huo said, Ashen, take Wanwan upstairs to check for any other injuries. Okay. I will explain the matter with Yuanshan, you two dont worry. Mrs. Huo added. Listening to the old lady, 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 blamed 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 scores later 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, accompanied 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 black pants. There was fresh blood on his white shirt, which was startling at first glance. 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 glasses, 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 black 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, accompanying a mistress to abort a child, youre just a fucking beast! Chapter 107 - Chapter 107:107, Xiaobai is a big jerk! Chapter 107:107, Xiaobai is a big jerk! Translator: 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 kick landed on his leg instead, and a small footprint appeared instantly on his black trousers. Xiao Yebai was forced to stop once more. He turned around, and the harshly bright corridor lights made the gaze hidden behind his glasses 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 delay, you will be held responsible. Zhiwei? Wasnt that Xiao Yebais cousin? When did she come 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 become too late. 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 flailing at him. But it was no use. Her proud combat skills seemed like nothing compared 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 glared 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 accompany his sister for an abortion? Its true that Xiao Zhiwei was Xiao Yebais own sister, but shouldnt such matters be accompanied by ones husband or boyfriend? Why should Xiao Zhiweis brother have to accompany her? Chapter 108 - Chapter 108:108, Xiaobai, I am waiting for you Chapter 108:108, Xiaobai, I am waiting for you Translator: 549690339 | Wanwan recalled how Mo Weiyi had repeatedly complained that Xiao Zhiwei seemed to have a severe brother complex 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 would come later. 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 wasnt coming. 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 will come after hes done with that. Its really annoying; that bitch causes trouble every time she comes 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 relax completely. 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 eyelashes 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 a comfortable 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 hour later, 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 you come 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 black 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 Weiyi lay 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 glanced 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 this late! And that bitch, she started acting up as soon as she got back to the country; claiming that she was feeling unwell-she was clearly doing it on purpose! She originally planned 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 plans 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 finally coming? Its already half past ten. If you dont come 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 - Chapter 109:109, Princess, are you jealous? Chapter 109:109, Princess, are you jealous? Translator: 549690339 Her tall figure was fully displayed 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, and lay 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 home last night, her condition isnt good. Xiaobai stayed with her overnight. You need to come quickly. With that, the call was disconnected. Mo Weiyi frowned her delicate eyebrows. It took her a moment to fully comprehend the meaning of his words. So, Xiaobai didnt come last night because of Xiao Zhiwei? She closed her eyes for a moment and she could feel her body trembling slightly. A few seconds later, Mo Weiyi got up, got dressed, washed her face, and put on makeup. After finishing everything, she gave one last 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 tobacco 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 flashed with surprise. It was Chu Xiuhuang! The notorious playboy from the Chu family. Most importantly, she had almost become 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, successfully 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 such complex relationships, 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 scholars 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 glared 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 relationship in the past What the hell are you talking about? Mo Weiyi exclaimed, her pretty face turning red, All I did was dump you, alright? What fleeting relationship are you talking about? Can you please not spout nonsense? Chu Xiuhuang still laughed 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 welcoming 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 Black Cayenne parked by the side of the road, a few seconds later, Mo Weiyi was compelled to hurry up and follow. * * Where is Little Princess going? After getting into the car, Chu Xiuhuang asked lazily. 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 occasionally attended gatherings in the upper-class circles and had heard gossip about this female secretary of Chu Xiuhuang. Because the Chu family was an aristocratic family of scholars 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 playing with women. It is said that almost all company matters were delegated to this female secretary to handle and manage. It was rumored that the success of Chu Xiuhuangs investment company was largely credited to this powerful woman behind the scenes. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but take a few extra glances at her. But this Secretary Shi was dressed in a conservative black professional suit, her long black hair covered most of her cheeks, and she was wearing huge black wide-framed glasses. 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 sun coming in from the window fell on her, accentuating her cold, indifferent eyes and frail figure. Her hair was a bit longer than four years ago, but it was still only shoulder length, black and rigid, without any styling. Her disposition was somewhat similar 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, which completely clashed 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 and laughed. Her laughter 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 can completely 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 - Chapter 110:110, the one who flirts first is cheap! Chapter 110:110, the one who flirts first is cheap! Translator: 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 most comfortable accommodation. But you, instead of studying, you messed around with men? Got cheated by a married man? Now that you have nowhere to go, you come 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 night last 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 happened last night, she couldnt bring herself to laugh. 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-in-law? Do you distrust my brother that much? Or do you lack confidence in your own charm? The more Xiao Zhiwei said, the more triumphant her laughter 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 someone coming 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 slapped Xiao Zhiwei. Xiao Zhiwei didnt dodge. After a crisp slap, 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 a large 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 glasses, coupled with his emotionless face Mo Weiyi pouted. Was he blaming 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, accusing, 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 blame 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 glance 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 slapped 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 mistake last night, I lost my phone suddenly and couldnt call Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiongs face eased a bit, leaning slightly, he said, Weiyi, come outside with me. Suppressing her tears, Mo Weiyi limped away. ** In the corridor. When Xiao Zhiwei got home last 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 relative. 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 - Chapter 111: ill, lift up high Chapter 111: ill, lift up high Translator: 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 relationship 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-in-law 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 glasses were unnaturally ruthless and terrifying. Like a frozen blade. 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 uncomfortable 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 them later? OK. Xiao Yebai replied, as he placed the peeled apple into the fruit bowl, Ill go to the company later. 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 slapped, extremely ugly. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, feeling delighted. When Xiao Yebai got up and went to the kitchenette, 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, complaining in a possum-like manner, Xiaobai, I waited for you all night last 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 to comfort 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 seconds later, he picked her up like a child and placed 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 tobacco 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 you come 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 and composed 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 so comfortable 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 blanket, 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 magnetism when he woke up. The droopy black 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 - Chapter 112:112, Perfect Husband Chapter 112:112, Perfect Husband Translator: 549690339 Who was Sleeping like a little pig last 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 his laughter. 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 too lazy 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 bath last 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 calculations, the two have been married for a month now, but theyve only really been together once. Which is simply unacceptable 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 her last 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 black 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 glasses? 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 explained 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 play her last 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 the last sentence. With an unreadable expression on his face, Huo Jingshen remained silent, seemingly scrutinizing the sincerity of her words, or perhaps contemplating something else. Su Wanwan blinked her beautiful eyes innocently. If you hurt me, I wont be able to go to class, 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-aged lady 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 welcome, youre welcome.. Chapter 113 - Chapter 113:113, Little Junior Sister! Chapter 113:113, Little Junior Sister! Translator: 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 classes 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 a large 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 black 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 muscular arms, with short silver hair and matching sunglasses. 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 sunglasses to reveal a face that was even more delicate than a womans. He had slanted 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 placed 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-step layups hahaha! I need to get my drivers license! Seeing him still laughing like a fool, Su Wanwan couldnt resist slapping him on the forehead, Stop freaking laughing! 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 a compliment 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 accompany 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. Ill come 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 bit late, 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 second later, 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 listed company 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 the last emoji, and replaced 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 not laugh in such a lewd way? Huo Jingshen flicked an eyelid up, a glance that shot directly at him. Yeah, big brother, how long has it been since you last drank with us? The previous gathering, you didnt even last a few minutes and left with our little sister-in-law, this time youre occupied with WeChat? Nangong Ci also began to complain. Hes checking the WeChat messages sent by sister-in-law. 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 top lawyer, 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 ten lawyers are gay, and the last 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, laughing 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 collapsed in laughter 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-in-law, its me. Nangong Ci called with ease, Big brother is drunk, asking you to pick him up and take him home. Su Wanwan: Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? Little sister-in-law? 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-in-law 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 the last part of his sentence very clearly. Nothing, hehe. Nangong Ci laughed and changed the topic, Lets do this Ill have my driver pick you up, see you, little sister-in-law. 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 people coming 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 Emperor combined 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 fairyland with burning incense. Youre finally here, little sister-in-law. Nangong Ci welcomed 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, particularly Chu Xiuhuang, squinting his phoenix eyes, corners of his mouth slightly raised, he looked villainous 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 accentuated 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 into laughter 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 so late? 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 suppressed laughter of the three behind her, Su Wanwan was both ashamed and furious, Are you pretending to be drunk? Baby, dont use uncivilized language, no foul words. Su Wanwans face uncontrollably 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 - Chapter 114:114, Drunken Boss Huo Chapter 114:114, Drunken Boss Huo Translator: 549690339 And the three people standing by were watching everything with a carefree expression Su Wanwan: Forget it. Ill play 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-in-law, 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 glassware. Sister-in-law, are you okay? Nangong Ci rushed over. Behind him, Chu Xiuhuang came forth after hearing the commotion. 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 glasses 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-in-law, let me help you. * * In the dimly lit hallway, Chu Xiuhuang seemed even more devilish in his embroidered black 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 dont come in tomorrow. The waitress stood there, her body shrinking in fear, not daring to move. After Chu Xiuhuang disappeared into the distance, the supervisor slapped 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 slapped 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 explain earlier? The waitress was scared and asked, Should I take you to the hospital? No need. Bai Ruwei shook her head, tears fell uncontrollably. 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-in-law, 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 snoring comfortably 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 was complaining, 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-related, 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 - Chapter 115:115, old flame? Chapter 115:115, old flame? Translator: 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 flame? Oh dear, is the old flame planning 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 suddenly laughed mischievously. She walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap. A while later, she came out with a basin full of cold water and without a word, she splashed it on the man. Huo Jingshen was meditating silently when, unexpectedly, he was drenched. Just as Su Wanwan was feeling accomplished, 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, two large 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 delay her class. 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 classes and let her willingly accept 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 - Chapter 116:116, willing to admit defeat Chapter 116:116, willing to admit defeat Translator: 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 play her last card and act pitifully. But, I have class 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 Jingshen laughed 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 class at 10 oclock? Su Wanwan finally opened her eyes. She immediately saw a man in front of her, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, with clear brows and bright eyes. Even his thin lips displayed 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 glared 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, and comforter. 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 class 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 and comes with a half-sleeved high-neck design. She was planning 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 class! 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 minutes later, Su Wanwan was ready to go, carrying her small bag downstairs. She could smell the appetizing aroma from afar. A hearty breakfast was already laid 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 plate 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 glamorous white woman. Who knew? Huo Jingshen took out his phone without hesitation, typed a few commands 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 classes 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 - Chapter 117:117,1 am a married woman. Chapter 117:117,1 am a married woman. Translator: 549690339 With a sudden thud, her shoulder was forcefully slapped 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, balancing on one leg, and grimacing in pain. The junior sister is fine in all respects. Shes pretty, has a good figure, and can play 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 glared 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 or later. Why not cultivate some feelings with me first, to prevent me from falling for other pretty-faced seductresses. Otherwise, youll have nowhere to cry later! Su Wanwans mouth twitched uncontrollably, 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 place. 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 place 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 too late, 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 back later. 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 to come back and keep you company? Eh Eager my foot! Keep company, my foot! I hope you take a business trip to Antarctica and never come back! Probably around 10 oclock, Huo Jingshen said. Su Wanwan grunted twice in response. 10 oclock, right? That meant she could play 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 playing 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 ninety-nine roses, I want to sing the words in my heart for you to hear, I want No musicality? She thought this popular 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 glared 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 flashy yellow Porsche. Su Wanwan remembed that it was identical to the sports car Huo Zhexi drove last 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 relatives and friends in Nancheng too. An hour later, 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 to come either, but shes a senior in my management company. 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 Qjtians laugh was wicked, Even if you were an A, Id still choose you. None of those flashy floozies outside can compare 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 blasting out in rich Dolby sound, everybody was bobbing their heads and flailing 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 villa. 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 claimed 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, claiming that it was inconvenient for her to attend school while pregnant But would Su Yanyan agree to that? Shed worked so hard to get accepted into Nancheng University and wasnt ready to become 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 her companys 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 newcomer signed by Vivians company. He is said to be an overseas Chinese from America, and the company 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 scandal comes out and causes a ruckus? Chapter 118 - Chapter 118:118,1 hate it, you devil! Chapter 118:118,1 hate it, you devil! Translator: 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 wedding last time, and you are still speaking up for her? Truly, no good deed goes unpunished! Dont worry, Ive got this. What are you planning to do? Youll find out. In the bar, Jiang Xiaoman put down her phone, her eyes filled with smug laughter. 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 relationship 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, particularly 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 become even more handsome Compared to her budding feelings, Huo Jingshen appeared indifferent, his voice also casual, Why are you here? Fu Qi hurriedly explained, 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 glance, 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 black 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 play. 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 planning to divorce the wife? Sigh, poor Mrs. Huo is kept in the dark and doesnt know anything yet Suddenly, a flash of light flashed 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 popular 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 accepted any interviews. She only knew that his marriage news was announced not long ago. Unexpectedly, just one month later, there are rumors of an extramarital relationship, 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 villa 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 from last 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 black 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, black 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 flashed in Su Wanwans eyes, so this was the woman who called last night, my husbands old flame? 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 displayed 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? How come youre so late? Huo Jingshen looked at her, completely relaxed. Normally, it would take half a life to coax her to call him husband, now she was declaring her territory by her own initiative? Seems like, Fu Qi coming 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 blatantly sticking to him, and Huo Jingshen didnt even push her away? Chapter 119 - Chapter 119:119, showing off love, instantly defeating all the other girls Chapter 119:119, showing off love, instantly defeating all the other girls Translator: 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 exclaimed, 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 welcome! Su Wanwan naturally took over the conversation. Fu Qi was speechless. Then let your sister-in-law make the arrangements, Huo Jingshen added smoothly. Fu Qi was again lost for words. Su Wanwan already strolled over with enthusiasm, Its getting late, you must be tired after that long flight, Ziyang. Ill help you with your luggage. Thank you, Aunt Wanwan. Youre welcome. 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 cabinet 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 out laughing. 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, her combat 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, she composed 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-in-law. 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-in-law! 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 glared 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 relationship, 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 eat cilantro 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 play 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 blame you. Fu Qis face immediately turned extremely red. She had been well protected from childhood and educated as a ladylike socialite. The people around her were always knowledgeable and modest. Even her sister-in-law 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 but laugh, 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 getting late, and we have to take Ziyang to school tomorrow. Go to bed early. After saying that, he comfortably 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 Wanwan laughed, 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 - Chapter 120:120, the only wrestling Chapter 120:120, the only wrestling Translator: 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 pillar 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 moment later, 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 just come back from making the payment and heard Mo Weiyis complaint from outside the door. The spoiled princess has always been pampered since she was a child, her body was flawless and delicate without a single scar. But, lately, 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 Weiyis complaints promptly stopped, Alright, I wont bother you and Mr. Huo with your sweet time, bye-bye, remember to come 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 blanket, Its getting late, 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 and comfort 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 accompany me? Upon hearing these two names, Xiao Yebais brows twitched uncontrollably. After all, having his own name so similar 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 nonchalantly, 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, his large hand gently stroked her soft, curly hair, Sleep now, its already late. 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 slowly laid 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. Much later, 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 you come so late? Glancing 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 explained, 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 playing with her phone. He went over and glanced 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 flashed across Xiao Yebais eyes. He stood there, silent for a long while.. Chapter 121 - Chapter 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded? Chapter 121:121, Little Princess has been cuckolded? Translator: 549690339 I An emotion flashed 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 glance, 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 from netizens 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 Weiyi lay 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 Yebai lay 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 uncomfortable. Yet he fell asleep quickly and soon began to snore lightly. But Mo Weiyi lay 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 accusation, 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 accompany 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 blanket in her hand, work, always work! Working all the time, never stopping! When you come in the afternoon, bring Xiaoxiaobai and Baibaibai with you. Ok, Xiao Yebai agreed, Do you want grandma to accompany 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 twelve last 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 legal common 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 minutes later, 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 sent last 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 - Chapter 122:122, Little Princess Eavesdropping Chapter 122:122, Little Princess Eavesdropping Translator: 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 umbrella as well. Uh Hurry up! Yes, princess. All along, she had to rush to borrow an umbrella. ** Half an hour later, 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 places 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 Frappuccino, half ice, Mo Weiyi instructed. A bit concerned, Aunt Jiang looked around, Princess, let me wheel you upstairs first. I dont feel comfortable 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 spot complete 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 the last 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 hilariously 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 black trousers pockets. Tall and aloof, a half-smoked cigarette dangled from his thin lips, his phoenix eyes touched with laughter 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 become crippled after I accidentally hit you last 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 it comes 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 playful 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 relationship 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, flamboyant, and self-confident. Pfft! He finally couldnt help but burst out laughing. 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 a large 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 become 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 out laughing once more. Mo Weiyis face reddens with anger, What are you laughing 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 glancing 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 black shirt and trousers, enhancing his cold and ruthless demeanor. Although standing under the sun, an overbearing aura surrounds him as if shrouded by a layer 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 glasses focuses on the still nonchalant man.. Chapter 123 - Chapter 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? Translator: 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, comprised 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, nonchalantly and casually as if they were old friends catching up. Hmph. Xiao Yebais black eyes gradually turned icy. For the first time, he witnessed Mo Weiyi enjoying the company 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 explain, Xiaobai, please dont misunderstand, I was just No need to explain, 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 explaining 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 glanced at her. His gaze was still cold and indifferent. On the phone, Su Wanwan replied, Just finished the admission procedures. Why so late, 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, Ill come stay with you, and we can sleep together. After saying this, she glanced at Xiao Yebai, only to see him picking up his phone. Darling, are you coming 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 you come 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 the company if you have something to do. She remembered him saying that he had a meeting at eleven. Being the head of such a large company as Huo Yuan, it was hard on him. After dropping off Fu Ziyang, he had come to escort her as well. Huo Jingshen glanced 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 hour later, 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 - Chapter 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. Translator: 549690339 Her long, seaweed-like hair was completely spread out, black 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 to laugh, 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 glance, they looked like a match made in heaven. The male students: End. Being pulled by him, Su Wanwan couldnt help but steal glances. It was amusing how the CEO of a listed company, dressed in a shirt and tie, looking every bit the business giant, was carrying her military camouflage bag for her. But he seemed quite comfortable 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 and composed, even elegant. When they got to the girls dormitory, since the third-year students had a day off before classes 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 your company 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 be late for your company 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 plainly 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-in-law of Eastern Alliance. I knew that in any respect, I couldnt compare 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 glanced 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 black 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 - Chapter 125:125, the female tyrant is back again. Chapter 125:125, the female tyrant is back again. Translator: 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 class, 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 class 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 related 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 you coming to South University? How did you get in? Can you transfer universities? No comment. 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 had come back, and just happened to be in the same class 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 playing 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 Weiyi lay 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 - Chapter 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me. Chapter 126:126, Xiaobai pampers the princess, feed me. Translator: 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 grievances combined 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 feel completely 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 her lashes. It was clear she had been crying. Xiao Yebai lowered his lashes, 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 particularly 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 eat later. 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 was completely 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 a large 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 was completely 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 uncommunicative, 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 to come 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 similar. Wheres Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi asked. Xiao Zhiwei smiled, Did the princess make my brother run away? Seeing Mo Weiyis face instantly clouding over, she laughed 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 the company. 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, glancing 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 glanced 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 flawlessly 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 a combined 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 - Chapter 127:127, a cold-blooded creature without any warmth Chapter 127:127, a cold-blooded creature without any warmth Translator: 549690339 She pointed at the door, pale and distorted, Get out, get out now! Her uninjured left foot was splashed with hot porridge, causing some pain. Mo Weiyi just glanced 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 uncontrollably. The secret buried deep within her heart was suddenly revealed and laid 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 couldnt comprehend 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-in-law 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 and communicating 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 explaining, 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 explanation at all made her heart ache as if it were being cut open. Princess. Aunt Jiang suddenly exclaimed in alarm. 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 uncontrollably 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 not completely hopeless in the future. Once the doctors and nurses left the room, Xiao Zhiwei leaned back on the bed and began to complain, 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 - Chapter 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot! Chapter 128:128, your Xiaobai is an idiot! Translator: 549690339 She thought you were coming 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 glasses 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 blaming me now? She was the one who pushed me off the bed, why are you blaming 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 blaming 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 black 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 glasses. He held the glasses with his slender, fair fingers, his eyelashes drooping, and spoke in a low voice, Did I tell you that she injured her foot when she slipped in the bathroom last night, fractured her toe, had a splint on it, and couldnt move. Xiao Zhiweis face went pale as if she was losing color layer by layer. Xiao Yebai continued, word by word, explaining, 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 explain, but just as she lifted her eyes to meet his, Without the glasses disguise, the mans eyes were deep and dark, with dense eyelashes. 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 them come 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 glasses 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 blankly 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, how come this guy is just like Huo Jingshen, walking without making a sound? Luckily, Xiao Yebai just glanced at her indifferently before picking up his phone and car keys from the coffee table. I have a meeting at the company. Aunt Jiang, Ill be bothering you with the things here. Even his voice was cold! Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi called out plaintively. 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 subconsciously compare 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 Ziyang last 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 glared 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 - Chapter 129:129, attractive people tend to look similar. Chapter 129:129, attractive people tend to look similar. Translator: 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 female companion beautiful enough? Chu Xiuhuang: Its because the secretarys taste has declined. Nangong Ci: You should urge your secretary to improve the quality of the female companions! 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: Blaming me for not being able to marry a woman, it seems Im also to blame 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 intercom, 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 account 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 to come personally deliver an apology this afternoon Huo Jingshen looked at him, indifferent, 1 was asking what you did last night. Ji lies legs wobbled, President Huo, I deleted all the pictures from her camera last 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 salary 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 this commotion, Huo Jingshen, who never came late to work ever since he took office, was remarkably late 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 has come. 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 seconds later, 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 accompany 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, launching 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 black 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 black suit and wearing a standard smile. Two men, similarly clad in suits, followed him carrying a large 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 - Chapter 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. Translator: 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 and commanded, 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 online last 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 similar to that of the dogs? * * Su Wanwan decided to wait in the coffee shop upstairs as Huo Jingshen should be coming 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 glanced at them and looked away, but they did not seem willing to let her go. Oh, who is this? Su Yanyan exaggeratedly exclaimed. 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 claim 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 favorite lake green, which wasnt flashy, was it? But Su Wenwens comment 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 glanced at the magazine in her hand. It was the most popular 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 out laughing. So, they were indeed secretly photographed at the airport last 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 still laugh 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 nonchalant 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 placate her, Wanwan, Yanyan is pregnant now.. Cant you be a bit more considerate? Chapter 131 - Chapter 131:131, baby has drunk milk tea. Chapter 131:131, baby has drunk milk tea. Translator: 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 cold laugh. 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, quickly comforted her, Relax. 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 or later 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 plan. 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 in-laws are not comfortable, they always have loads to say. If this goes on, theyll suspect me sooner or later. 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 is coming 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 plausible 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 black 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 and complaining 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 glance, 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 glare at him. What an asshole! His fingers with distinct joints lightly pinched her soft little chin, his voice was low yet threatening, You dare to complain about your husband smoking? If you do that again, each complaint 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 - Chapter 132:132,1 believe in your evil Chapter 132:132,1 believe in your evil Translator: 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, laughing 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 similar to herself. * * Forty minutes later, 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 young lady, 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 particularly interested, but In this lavish 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 were completely 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 glance, 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 the lady 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-in-law, 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 was coming out from the restroom in the suite. It had been more than half a month since Su Wanwan had seen him last, and he hadnt changed much. Still sporting a flamboyant shirt, tight jeans, and long hair draped over his eyebrows, with a cocky smirk plastered 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 - Chapter 133:133, Little Money Lover Chapter 133:133, Little Money Lover Translator: 549690339 Huo Zhexi grumbled, baring his teeth in pain. Dodging and complaining simultaneously, he said, You and dad have been in Japan for so long that I had no money to spend at home. And you come 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 huge commotion 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 accepted 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 slapped 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 planning 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 just coming 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 particularly well. Despite all the talking by Mrs Huo and the old lady keeping the mood lively, the men remained silent throughout. By the time dinner ended, it was already late. 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 glanced at her from the corner of his eye. She was bent over her lap, 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 Villa. In the living room, Fu Qi glanced 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 villa seem somewhat eerie. But Huo Jingshen still hadnt come 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 wouldnt come 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 glance, 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 villa. 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 relationship? 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 glanced 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 Weiyi lay 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 staying late in the office his normal routine? He wouldnt have forgotten to eat dinner, would he? So Mo Weiyi lay there, looking at her phone, fretting, and eventually, too late 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 - Chapter 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. Translator: 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 floor lamp. 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 uncontrollable, 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 investment company that had recently invested in a resort project under Huo Yuans real estate company. The thing most frowned upon in the business world is competition between similar projects, let alone such blatant plagiarism. Xiao Yebai didnt have time to speculate whether this was an intentional manipulation issue because of time constraints, so he had to urgently call a high-level meeting to quickly develop a contingency plan. At midnight, Zhong Kai entered the CEOs office, President Xiao, the operations department has chosen Plan 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 this last one includes media reports on plagiarism 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 getting late, 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 seconds later. 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, come 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 slap landed on Xiao Yebais face. His glasses were knocked off and fell to the ground with a crack, the lenses shattered. His face turned to one side from the slap, 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 slapped 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 glared 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, the company is just an accessory.. If my granddaughter is unhappy, I can make you lose everything you have in an instant! Chapter 135 - Chapter 135:135, Weiyi: I always listen to Xiaobai! Chapter 135:135, Weiyi: I always listen to Xiaobai! Translator: 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, the company 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 getting late. 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 with complex emotions. It happened swiftly. Gone in a blink of an eye. Then, he said, I already explained the companys 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, he lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at the shattered glasses 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 didnt come back to accompany me till late, I had left the door open so you could get in. It was my fault yesterday. I should have asked a servant to accompany you. Xiao Yebais admission of fault made Weiyi even more uncomfortable. Now, she hurriedly explains, 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 blaming 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 it later. 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 - Chapter 136:136, where is my red envelope? Chapter 136:136, where is my red envelope? Translator: 549690339 I After breakfast, Xiao Yebai checked the time, I have to attend a press conference, Ill come 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 will come to keep you company later. 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 black 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 of last night were all because of my sons mischief. He sneaked into Miss Mos ward because of his playful 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 explained, 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 parents command, 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 playful 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 moment later. Rong An. Rong An stepped forward, Master Xiao. Go to the security department and check the surveillance footage for last 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 car last 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-plan 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 one last 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 slap. Su Wanwan was filled with righteous indignation, The red packet that your brother gave me! I clearly put it in my bag last 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 black 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 - Chapter 137:137, even a mosquito’s leg is meat. Chapter 137:137, even a mosquitos leg is meat. Translator: 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 glared 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, Someones coming 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 Wanwan complained 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 little lads 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, the lad 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 playful 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 classes for freshmen and sophomores this semester. Okay. Huo Jingshen answered and started driving. Su Wanwan sneaked a glance 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 planning 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. Perhaps last nights encounter in the car was too stimulating. 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 classes. 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 not coming 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 many complaints about Su Wanwan. The other two girls cast her a few extra glances 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 class 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 class. Lets go together. The other two girls quickly followed. Su Wanwan went to her desk and checked her classes for the day. As a third-year student, her classes were less intense. Most of the previous semester was filled with compulsory and workshop-based classes. She had only two English classes this morning, from nine-thirty till eleven-thirty. Su Wanwan quickly prepared her class materials and quickly left the dorm. Not being familiar with the school layout, she wasted ten minutes looking for the lecture building. When she finally found the classroom, the bell for the start of class rang. She rushed towards it, nearly colliding with a male student exiting the classroom. 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 classroom. The male student looked as if he had lost his soul. He stood still for a few seconds before turning away and leaving. 10 minutes later, a serious and conservative female professor walked into the classroom, 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 the last 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 the last row. Everyones gaze in the classroom directed towards the rear. Suddenly, one of the boys asked, Isnt this the new girl in our class? Wow, shes a beauty! someone echoed. Then followed. Shes so pretty! Is she a celebrity? Looks like were going to have a new class 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 class, 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 - Chapter 138:138, teach that little slut a lesson! Chapter 138:138, teach that little slut a lesson! Translator: 549690339 After taking roll call, the class officially started. In truth, college classes tend to be rather relaxed. Even in Nancheng, the highest-ranking institution, more than half of the students are spending class 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, lacking 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 welcome her. Welcome, new student! Lin Qiao led the applause, her face full of anticipation for Su Wanwans awkward moment. Driven by her, the classroom burst into thunderous applause, 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, her laughter filled with a sense of victory. Su Wanwan, try not to wear high heels during class, the professor warned. At this comment, the entire classroom burst into laughter. Su Wanwan even heard some girls discussing: What was she thinking showing off like this, now its her awkward moment! Im dying of laughter, why didnt she fall? It wouldve been thrilling if she fell flat 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 collarbone, she specially put on a high-collared dress today. The design was half-sleeved and the hem was long, the purple print fabric, in comparison 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 her composure. 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 class 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 accent. As she finished reading, some boys even applauded 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 flashed 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 classmate. Without waiting for Lin Qiao to say anything, Su Wanwan beat her to it, This is a classroom, not your dance studio for practicing splits. Are you a crab? Why is your foot all the way in the aisle? Lin Qiao accused right away, Su Wanwan, why did you purposely step on me? She was wearing open-top flat 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 played 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 classroom? 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 classroom burst into uproar. Lin Qiao was anxiously angry and was about to retort Silence! This is a classroom! If you have something to say, wait until after class. 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 - Chapter 139:139, Secretly in Love with the Campus Hunk Chapter 139:139, Secretly in Love with the Campus Hunk Translator: 549690339 | Soon, the class 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 classes 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 classroom door earlier, I didnt dare recognize you. Have you been okay these past two years? Su Wanwan laughed awkwardly, Pretty good. I heard from the teacher that you transferred suddenly. Feel free to ask me anything regarding your studies; Im the class representative. Theres a class representative in college? Su Wanwan continued to laugh 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 class 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 class. Alright, goodbye Madam. ** After class, 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 plane. 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 explained with a smile, Mr. Huo specifically arranged for you to have a comfortable 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 occupants 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 quite comfortable. The single bed was quite large, big enough for two people, and it even had its own washing room and a small balcony. All the electrical appliances were available. 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 to come 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 slam her hand on the table and explode Goddess, may I come 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 - Chapter 140:140, how well does your husband treat you? Chapter 140:140, how well does your husband treat you? Translator: 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 playing 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 slander 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 magnetic over the phone, especially with a hint of laughter, 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 occasionally being a beast in certain things, and being slightly stingy, he really was a good man, treating her pretty well. My birthday is coming 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 blatant 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, speaking lazily as anything. Bro, you could just reach out to my secretary next time, or Lu Chenyu. Im busy. Huo Jingshen gave him a cold glance. 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 black suit and black-framed glasses. Her parted hair fell over the larger part of her face, hiding her looks and expression. Taken lightly, she seemed to have grown accustomed to such joking treatments. She simply adjusted her glasses calmly. A sweep of Huo Jingshens eyes, emitting a formidable aura, silenced the entire room. He said seriously, I believe you all have received the lawsuit files from Mo Group. Id now like to hear Huangyous specific solution. The newly built Huo Yuan resort had been progressing smoothly. Even yesterday, successful press was conducted on it. But this morning, at Mo Groups press, the head of their publicity department directly claimed that Huo Yuan had plagiarised all their plans. All hell broke loose. In less than half an hour, lawsuit 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 with lawyer Lu and conducted an investigation only to discover that the manager of Shengshi Medias planning department was to blame. 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 accident, even though Huangyou also suffered, weve had a close relationship with Shengshi for quite some time. Hence, Huangyou will take full responsibility for this accident in order to minimise the impact on Huo Yuan. At the same time, Huangyou has ceased its cooperation with Shengshi to prevent such accidents from occurring 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 will come up with a disciplinary plan for the manager and make him provide a written public apology, going through all the legal procedures with Mo. Tomorrow morning, we plan on holding another press conference with Shengshi to provide extensive clarification about the incident. This concludes Huangyous plan of action.. Chapter 141 - Chapter 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! Translator: 549690339 After making all her statements, she returned to her seat. The manager from the Public Relations Department couldnt help commenting, 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 nonchalant. 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 planned 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, place 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 a commotion. She opened her eyes, glanced 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 minutes later, 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 welcome. Just remember, youre the first woman Ive ever sent 999 roses to in my lifetime. Having said that, he hung up. Mo Weiyi was completely bewildered. Mr. Xiao. Suddenly, a bodyguards voice came from the door. Mo Weiyi looked at the man entering with delight, Xiaobai, how come youre back so early? Are you here to keep me company? With that, a smile began to bloom on her face. However, Xiao Yebais expression remained cold. He looked at the spectacular sight in the hospital room, his voice low and his gaze behind his glasses 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, placing his phone and car keys down, Rong An. A bodyguard in a black 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 glanced at her indifferently, the glasses reflecting a sudden flash of light. As if a cold blade 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 - Chapter 142:142,999 roses Chapter 142:142,999 roses Translator: 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 glance 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 from last 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 placed 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 place 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-la 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 - Chapter 143:143, a cat mourning a mouse feigns compassion Chapter 143:143, a cat mourning a mouse feigns compassion Translator: 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-black 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 glances whenever theyd pass by in the corridor Indeed, simply absurd! * * About half an hour later, just as Mo Weiyi was figuring out how to explain 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 accidents like last time. Ive already stated all the other precautions, if you have any problems, come to the hospital promptly Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Was she being discharged? Rong An had just finished moving the flowers and had come 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 he commanded, 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 even come to accompany 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 to come and pick us up. Not tired. Mo Weiyi: Alright then. * * Hospital, 21st floor. Xiao Yebai heard a commotion 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 play 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 144 - Chapter 144:144, Ingrate Chapter 144:144, Ingrate Translator: 549690339 Xiao Yebais tone was still cold and indifferent. Do you need me to show you the surveillance footage? Xiao Zhiwei paled, What what surveillance video? That child, wasnt he sent downstairs by your instructions? I didnt! Xiao Zhiwei panicked, I I just he asked me where to have fun, so I told him to go downstairs. I had no idea he would Not many people knew about what happened to Weiyis mother back then, and you were one of them. As for the fact that theres a pet in the ward, any nurse you ask would know. Bro, I really didnt mean to. How would I know that she sleeps at night with the door open Ive given you a chance, but you dont know how to cherish it. After Xiao Yebai finished speaking, he turned around and left. In bed, Xiao Zhiwei threw a tantrum, tossing her blankets and pillows on the floor. Her parents, however, had no time to care about her and rushed out to follow him. Yebai! Wait, Yebai! At the elevator door, Xiao Yebai stopped. At his wifes hint, Xiao Depeng asked warmly, Yebai, how have you been doing recently? Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. He stood there, clad in a handcrafted black suit, looking tall and lean. Wearing glasses, he appeared sophisticated and neat. However, when you looked into his eyes Behind his lenses, his enchanting black eyes seemed coated with a layer of frost. They were cold and sharp, causing a sense of unease for those looking at him. Xiao Depeng blinked twice rapidly. Somehow, his nephew, even only twenty-five, always gave him an inscrutable, mature vibe. He tried to ignore this inexplicably feeling, rubbed his hands, Actually, it is good that you asked us to come. Theres something I wanted to ask for your help. What is it? Xiao Yebai asked. He delivered it in such a calm tone that Xiao Depeng quickly eased his nerves. The market is bad this year. I followed your uncle Zhou in doing business and we had some unexpected issues. Ive invested and lost money and now owe a large amount of debt. I have even mortgaged my house. Im really at a loss. How much do you owe?, Xiao Yebai asked again. Not much. His hopeful tone implied Xiao Depeng was already unable to hide his greed, Just eight million. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, still in a nonchalant tone, Just eight million? Yes, youre now the Mo familys son-in-law and CEO of the Mo company. The Mo familys wealth will all be yours sooner or later! Eight million is merely a small figure to you, just enough to buy a car. Yebai, help me this time. I promise, once I overcome this hardship, Ill never bother you again. Xiao Depeng was grinning as he elaborated on his argument. Zhang Liya, standing next to him, also laughed. Who knew Ten years ago, you sold me to the Mo family for five million. Five years ago, the Mo family gave you an apartment in the center of Tongcheng. Last year, you secretly asked Weiyi for another two million. Once Xiao Yebai laid out those facts one by one, the couples faces had already changed countless times. Now that your daughter has returned, if you need assistance, look to her. Contacting me would be inappropriate. In response to Xiao Yebais last words, the couple responded aggressively, What do you mean by that, Yebai? You both are not even forty, yet comprehend so little? Xiao Yebai shoved his hands into his trouser pockets, his voice and expression filled with indifference. You understand the principle in businessif you sell something, you cant use it anymore. Xiao Depengs face swelled up, a tint of livid red. Zhang Liya was even more exasperated, angrily pointing her finger at him, Very well, now that youre successful, have you forgotten where you come from? Dont forget, who took you home from the funeral home when your parents died, and who scrimped and saved to raise you. Now you live lavishly every day, live in a villa, drive luxury cars, yet leave us in that desolate place in Tongcheng, where we live in that shabby house. Ignoring us as if you dont know us, youre simply an ingrate! Ingrate? Xiao Yebai still remained composed. He curled his lips, only sarcasm and coldness radiated from his eyes, It seems more fitting on the two of you. The elevator arrived. Ignoring the angry cursing behind him, he walked straight in. You ungrateful thing, is this how you talk to your elders? Brat, dont you move! Zhang Liya chased after him, though the elevator doors shut anyway. Her shrill voice attracted curious onlookers. Xiao Depeng quickly pulled his wife back, Have you gone insane? What you said was too harsh. If you irritate him too much What if I irritate him? He is the real ingrate, I spit on him! Zhang Liya spat angrily, anxiously looking at her husband, Now what? That darn jerk refused to help! Its alright, The glint in Xiao Depengs eyes revealed his cunning, Dont we still have the Mo Family? If thats the case, why didnt we approach the Mo Family directly? I had to put up with being ridiculed by that jerk, Zhang Liya was indignant. I was just testing him earlier, and just as I suspected. Xiao Depeng let out a pretentious sigh, In the end, this son-in-law is just a son-in-law. What does that mean? Yebai probably doesnt have actual power in Mo Family. Otherwise, he wouldnt even struggle to help with a mere eight million. Eight million is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the Mo Family. Its not that Xiao Yebai is unwilling to help but that hes unable to help. Poor guy. Xiao Depeng thought in a self-righteous way. No wonder. This brat, I hope the young Miss Mo kicks him out soon.. When the Mo Family kicks him out, lets see if he dares to remain this arrogant! Chapter 145 - Chapter 145:145, the rich aunt is really generous! Chapter 145:145, the rich aunt is really generous! Translator: 549690339 Xiao Yebai returned to Lishui Bay, his cell phone suddenly rang. Heard your aunt and uncle are back in Nancheng? Hmm. Xiao Yebai answered succinctly. What are those blood-sucking leeches here for this time? Bloody hell, its been ten years and they still wont let you be, checking in on you every now and then. They have no shame! Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. Hows your stake in Mo Familys business now? Why are you asking? Xiao Yebais tone was neutral. With your intelligence and ability, in a few years time, you could build a business empire comparable to the Mo Familys. As your brother, I want to give you some advice. If the old man from the Mo Family continues to distrust you, you should leave early. They only raised you for ten years, but havent you made quite a fortune for the Mo Family these past few years? Hasnt it multiplied many times over? Now I understand, people are fucking selfish, the Xiao Family, the Mo Family, theyre all the same. Every man for himself Before he could finish, Xiao Yebai had already hung up. Just as he walked into the entrance, his phone rang again. Fuck, why did you hang up on me, scared me into thinking its a signal problem. It probably is a signal problem. Xiao Yebai said indifferently. Fuck, Im at the border of Yunnan now. Do you know the risk Im taking to call you? This might be the last time Im able to call you. An unusually emotional tone from the man made Xiao Yebai pause, What do you mean? Nothing. My life belongs to the state. Death is inevitable, dont grieve for me. Xiao Yebai: The next second. Hahaha, I was just scaring you! With my shooting skills, getting rid of a den of drug traffickers is an easy task! Look how scared youve gotten, are you worried that your brother is in danger hahaha Xiao Yebai hung up the phone again. On the other end of the line, someone standing on a hilltop waved his phone in the air. Damn it, the signal here is so bad it got cut off again! * * Nancheng University. At noon, just as Su Wanwan finished her lunch, Grandma Huo called her, Wanwan, are you at school or at home? Grandma, Im at school. Alright, Ill pick you up now. Huh? Mingzhu wants to give you another gift for the beginning of the semester, but she doesnt know what to give so we thought we would take you shopping so you can choose for yourself. I also happen to be free this afternoon, so Ill come along. No need, Grandma, I have everything I need, theres no need for a gift. That wont do, Mingzhu is your aunt, you should have a gift. Alright, see you at the school gate in one hour. And then she hung up the phone. Su Wanwan was speechless. This old lady is really trendy, an old woman who still has the energy to go shopping. Su Wanwan rushed back to her dormitory, changed her clothes, and even put on light makeup. An hour later, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up at the entrance of Nancheng University. Su Wanwan took a glance at the license plate and went over to open the back door. Wanwan, you can sit in the front. In the backseat, Grandma Huo was wearing a Harley hat, a dark blue top with grey linen pants. She looked radiant, trendy yet elegant. As for Huo familys second mistress Mingzhu, she was also dazzling with her pastel pink cheongsam-style dress. Su Wanwan was glad shed spruced herself up. Seeing both elders so dressed up, they were probably going to a high-end place. As a granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family, she naturally needed to care about her image too. The driver, old Liang, had already opened the front passenger door for her. As soon as Su Wanwan got in the car, the Rolls-Royce slowly drove off. Nobody noticed a girl standing by the roadside, constantly snapping photos with her phone. Some people never change! Shes flaunting herself during the day, meeting a sugar daddy who is ugly, old enough to be her grandfather. Shes hungry and cant choose what to eat! She has no shame just for money! Lin Qiao put away her phone and walked away with a smug smile on her face. * * On the other side, old Liang drove them to the World Trade Plaza. After getting off the car, the group went straight to a gold store on the first floor. Mingzhu directly said, Wanwan, just look around. If you like anything, tell me. Su Wanwan took a look. There were price tags on everything. Just a simple bracelet cost nearly ten thousand yuan. She didnt know Mingzhu well and besides, she had already received skincare products and handbags as gifts. It would be too embarrassing to ask for a school start gift as well. Seeing her hesitation, Grandma Huo asked, Wanwan, dont you like these bracelets? Su Wanwan hurriedly said, No, no, they all look nice. Really? Grandma Huo was overjoyed and immediately ordered, Saleswoman, pack up these bracelets. Su Wanwan was shocked, Grandma, you don t need to buy so many, do you. Not at all, just two or three dozen, you can wear a different one each day, which is just enough for a month. Mingzhu, go ahead and pay. Mingzhu didnt hesitate and swiped her card. Su Wanwan was stunned. Holy shit! These are all reliable bracelets that add up to at least too thousand yuan, and she just swiped blindly? Auntie Mingzhu is really generous! Spectacular! Thinking that it was over after buying school-starting gifts, but then Grandma Huo took her upstairs into an international big-brand womenwear shop. Wanwan, see if there are any clothes you like? Su Wanwan walked over and casually picked up a skirt to look at. What? Fifty-eight thousand? Apart from the dress Huo Jing bought her last time, she had never worn clothes over two thousand yuan.. Chapter 146 - Chapter 146:146, wealthy grandma, please consume sensibly Chapter 146:146, wealthy grandma, please consume sensibly Translator: 549690339 Wanwan, have you taken a liking to this skirt? the old Lady Huo asked. Su Wenwen hurriedly denied, No, not at all. Old Lady Huo nodded and said, Shop assistant, wrap up all the other clothes except for this one, in size M. Su Wanwan was scared stiff and quickly restrained the old lady, Grandma, I dont need to buy so many clothes. This is too much? Its the changing of the seasons, the more autumn clothes, the better. And besides, its grandmas first time shopping with you, must buy more. Old Lady Huo shrugged it off, and after paying, she quickly dragged her to the next shop. It was a top luxury brand store, nothing inside was priced below five figures. Wanwan, I see you always use the same bag, dont you like the one that Mingzhu gave you last time? Then you can look here, is there one you like? Su Wanwan, learning from her experience, hastily picked up a blue handbag from the display case, This one, I like this bag! Just to buy this one, in case the old lady wastes more money, who knew So Wanwan likes blue. Old Lady Huo said, and with a wave of her hand, with the air of a queen directing her kingdom, Shop assistant, wrap up all the blue bags in the store. Su Wanwan was close to crying, Grandma, I dont need that many bags. What girl doesnt like bags, whats that TV saying again, a bag cures all ailments? Su Wanwan: Old lady, youre really trending, knowing about a bag cures all ailments! After paying, Old Lady Huo dragged her to a shoe store, Wanwan, do you want to look at shoes Before she could finish, Su Wanwan immediately said, No need, grandma, I have a lot of shoes, all at home, I cant even wear them all, really no need to buy more. This time, Old Lady Huo couldnt possibly buy them all, right? Unexpectedly So Wanwan likes collecting shoes like Mingzhu? Old Lady Huo had an idea now, and said, Shop assistant, wrap up all the new womens shoes for me! Su Wanwan: Critical situation! Mingzhu giggles, whispers into her ear, No worries, its always this way with my mother-in-law. When I first married into the Huo family, she made me into a shopaholic. Su Wanwan: Rich Grandma, please spend rationally! Frighteningly more extravagant than the spendthrift Mo Xiaose, shes on a pace to bring the entire shopping mall home. The salespeople in the shop were ecstatic, as expected of the richest matron of Nancheng. Every time she sweeps through the streets she brings in more revenue than they see in several years. While the salespeople were excitedly wrapping things up and making receipts Wanwan? Su Wanwan looked up and saw Qiao Zixin walk in from outside with a friend. Qiao Zixin instantly recognized the Old Lady of the Huo Family and the second lady, she hurriedly greeted them with a smile, Hello, old lady, Mrs. Huo, Im Wanwans cousin, my name is Qiao Zixin, and I work nearby. After speaking, she looked at the mountain of shopping bags beside her, What a coincidence, Mrs. Huo also likes the shoes from this shop? Mingzhu glanced at her, Oh, Mother bought them for Wanwan. Qiao Zixin was quite taken aback, Old Lady Huo is really good to Wanwan. Almost the entire floor is filled with international luxury brands, and the shoes from this store are expensive as hell, is Old Lady Huo really buying so many for Su Wanwan? But wasnt there a recent rumor that Huo Jingshen had a mistress and an illegitimate child in the UK? Could it beits to make up for Su Wanwan? That should be it. Qiao Zixin comforted herself in her heart, but She just couldnt help from going crazily jealous! What gives? Why does this stupid girl get to have such nice things! Of course, Wanwan is my granddaughter-in-law, who else would I treat nicely if not her? Old Lady Huo beamed, and after speaking, she clapped her hands Oh, I bought this jewelry, clothes, bags, and shoes, what am I missing? Qiao Zixin got jealous the more she heard, jewelry, clothes, bags, and shoes were all bought? And you still want to buy more? Ah, makeup, lets go look at cosmetics downstairs Su Wenwen blurted out, No need to look, grandma! What happened? Old Lady Huo was stunned. Iam hungry. Old Lady Huo laughed, checked the time Almost six oclock, alright then, lets go have dinner. Su Wenwen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Old Lady Huo. Qiao Zixin eagerly said, I know a good place for Shanghai cuisine upstairs, would you like to Miss Qiao. Old Lady Huo looked at her, politely said, Sorry, were going to dinner first, you continue shopping. After she finished speaking, she didnt wait for an answer, simply left with Su Wenwen. As they entered the elevator, Mingzhu suddenly asked, Wanwan, is Ms. Qiao really your cousin? How old is she this year? Su Wanwan nodded, She should be twenty-five. Is she married? Mingzhu questioned again. No. Mingzhu chuckled, Your cousin is no simple person. Stay away from her. Su Wanwan glanced at her. Goodness, her aunt looked simple and warm, but who knew she had such shrewd eyes? Mingzhu noticed her disbelief but just being an outsider, she could only hint so much. Just remember my words. She was Ming familys precious daughter, and since her childhood, she had seen the dramas played by women in affluent families who fought to climb the social ladder. She considered herself an expert judge of a persons character. Qiao Zixin, who they had just met, may look average; even her dressing style was not impressive. But the desire in her eyes was too explicit. As soon as she walked in, she greeted her and the older lady but kept glancing at the shopping bags. When she learned the abundance of things the old lady bought for Wanwan, she almost twisted her fingers into pretzels out of jealousy. * After Lady Huo finished checking out, the sales associates at the boutique were still busily packing and arranging home deliveries. Upon hearing this, Qiao Zixin clenched her fists tightly to the point of almost piercing her palms with her nails. Zixin, a colleague said excitedly, Youre related to the Huo Family! Why didnt you join us for dinner just now? All Qiao Zixin could do was pretend she was indifferent, Whats so good about it. Were one family and there are plenty of opportunities to have a meal together. I just needed to get home early today. She wanted to join them for dinner, but the old lady was quick with her words not giving her any chance, and she didnt want to shamelessly impose. The colleague spoke again, Next time you have a meal or attend any event with the Huo Family, can you take me with you? For what? The colleague dreamily responded, The Huo Family is the richest in Nancheng. I may have a chance to meet some members of their family! If any of them takes a liking to me, wont I be as lucky as your cousin and rise in status? Ah, Zixin, Zixin, dont go! As Qiao Zixin hurriedly walked away, her face was twisted beyond recognition. A gentleman from the Huo Family? Huo Jingshen? Ever since she was threatened by Mo Weiyi, she had suppressed her admiration for him. But just seeing Su Wanwan now, the restlessness started to surface again. Jealousy was driving her mad! * * Madam Huo chose a Cantonese restaurant. After they ordered the food, she started the conversation, Wanwan, how have you been adjusting since school started? Su Wanwan nodded, Ive been adjusting well. Is the coursework tough? Its manageable. Is your dormitory comfortable? Comfortable. Wait! Su Wanwan was suddenly alert. How does the old lady know shes staying in a dormitory? She never mentioned it, did she? Something was fishy! Sure enough, the old lady continued, Despite the dormitorys comfort, its not hke home. Education is important, of course, but dont ignore everything else. As a grandmother, Id like you to bless me with a great-grandchild sooner rather than later Cough, cough! Su Wanwan choked on her tea, coughing nonstop. Mingzhu hurriedly handed her a napkin, Mom, times have changed. Wanwan is only twenty and still a kid. Whats the rush? But Madam Huo was insistently optimistic, Twenty is fine. Younger bodies recover quicker. Wanwan is beautiful, and my grandson Ashen is handsome. Their kids can only be smart and beautiful. Be it a boy or a girl, I will love them equally Grandma. Su Wanwan quickly stood up, making a motion of refilling tea in the teapot. Let me pour you some more water. You must be thirsty after talking so much, cough, cough. Soon, a waiter came in again, Madam Huo, should we begin serving the food or Give us a second, let me see where they are, Madam Huo said while checking her cell phone. Su Wanwan was taken aback. Who else was joining them for dinner? What? Youre at the door? Hurry and come in then! As soon as Madam Huo finished speaking, the private rooms door opened. Su Wanwan looked up, and the smile on her face froze.. Chapter 147 - Chapter 147:147, the hand-holding couple Chapter 147:147, the hand-holding couple Translator: 549690339 What the hell! Why is it Huo Jingshen? He was dressed in a black suit, with his usual white shirt inside, adorned with a neatly tied dark tie. The whole person was groomed meticulously, flawless, and looking respectable He must have hurried right from work. She didnt come home last night under the pretense of attending classes and was looking forward to enjoying a few more days. How come he? Seeing the startled and uneasy expression on the little girls face, Huo Jingshens thin lips curled up into a slight smile. To Su Wanwan, who saw all this, it was frightening. What the hell. Doesnt his look seem like that of a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit? Madam Huo chuckled, Wanwan, are you surprised? Su Wanwans mouth twitched several times, and her laughter looked worse than crying. Yeah, hehe. It really is a surprise. If she didnt know by now that the two of them were in cahoots, she would be a Pig! Huo Jingshen took off his suit jacket and gracefully sat down next to Su Wanwan. Madam Huo sat across, looking at the golden couple in front of her, and couldnt help but burst into laughter. Her great-grandson is really too handsome! Hes tall and mature-looking. The granddaughter-in-law is young, looks lively, and both are constantly exchanging glances, they match each other perfectly! Grandma laughed and said, Ashen came just in time, I was just talking about Wanwan getting pregnant. Su Wanwan couldnt help but cough again Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly, his slender hand patted gently on the back of the young girl, Grandma, lets not rush into pregnancy. Hearing this, Madam Huo got anxious, Not in a rush? Dont you realize how old you are? Wanwan is only twenty, you are a whole ten years older! What do people online say? Men like you, they cant keep up anymore! Su Wanwan chuckled and quickly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter. The old lady is indeed amusing, playing with these internet buzzwords effortlessly. As for Huo Jingshen, the old meat, his handsome face got even darker, Grandma, I am ten years older than Wanwan, but, I am only thirty. Madam Huo blatantly ignored him, Anyway, youre not young anymore. Now that you are married, you should have a baby soon. You dont want people to think you have some kind of problem there. Huo Jingshens face had utterly darkened. First, they talk about his age. Now, they suspect that he might have a problem Are these the words of a dear grandmother? Anyway, my point is, you shouldnt intentionally avoid pregnancy. If you become parents, thats great. While Im still in good health, I can help you take care of the child. Of course, Wanwan can continue her studies after giving birth. Im very open-minded. Madam Huo added with a smile. Huo Jingshen picked up a teacup and finally spoke in a deep tone, I have my own plans for this. A light sentence, but it conveyed a no-nonsense meaning. Mingzhu quickly stepped in to break the tension, Mom, lets order the food. Madam Huo glared at Huo Jingshen and could only say, Order the food. Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, when it comes to having a child, Huo Jingshen and her are on the same page. * * * After dinner, it was already past seven oclock, and the night lights had just come on. Mingzhu and I will head back first. Ashen, its getting late, take Wanwan home to rest, remember my words! You must walk the talk. Madam Huo winked, seemingly still not giving up. Huo Jingshen made no response. After the Rolls-Royce drove away, Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan went off in the opposite direction. Hold on! Su Wanwan suddenly stopped. Whats the matter? Huo Jingshen looked at her. Because of the height difference, he looked down at her, his eyes slightly squinted, carrying a bit of interrogatory vibe. Feeling guilty, Su Wanwan said, I have two English classes at nine oclock tomorrow morning, and Ive yet to finish an English homework. Hmm? So, I have to stay in the dorm tonight. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged, Sure, Ill take you back to the school. Su Wanwan was surprised. What the hell! Did she hear it wrong? He didnt disagree and even offered to take her back to school? Huo Jingshen had already gone to open the car door. His expression was gentle, and his tone was indifferent, Studies are important. Su Wanwan was even more surprised. This stinking man Has he turned a new leaf? * * Half an hour later, the black Mu Shang slowly parked in front of Nancheng University. Su Wanwan unbuckled her seatbelt, Then you drive carefully, remember to be safe, bye. She quickly got out of the car, but just after closing the car door, she saw Huo Jingshen also getting out. Its dark, Ill walk you in. He spoke those words naturally. Su Wanwan took a look. Um, it is dark, but is it really necessary to walk her in? Shes not a child anymore Thinking of children, Su Wanwan immediately said, Isnt Ziyang still at home? You should hurry back, or he might be scared There are domestic helpers and drivers at home. Saying that, Huo Jingshen strode over, took her small hand, and walked into the campus. Inevitably, Su Wanwan had to keep pace with him. Fortunately, it was already dark, the road lights were dim, and even though they were holding hands, they did not attract attention. Moreover, the university campus was filled with hand-holding couples, so it was not unusual. When they reached the door of the girls dormitory, Su Wanwan stopped again, Okay, you can go back. Huo Jingshen was still holding her hand, unwilling to let go.. Chapter 148 - Chapter 148:148, CEO Huo inspects his wife’s dormitory Chapter 148:148, CEO Huo inspects his wifes dormitory Translator: 549690339 Hows your new dorm? Huo Jingshen asked out of the blue. Caught off guard, Su Wanwan responded, Um, pretty comfortable. Really? Huo Jingshens lips curled into a smirk, Then, your hubby should take a look. Eh? A visit what visit? Before Su Wanwan could react, he had already pulled her into the entrance of the girls dormitory. What the heck! Why is the graduate dormitory management so lax? They actually let Huo Jingshen, a grown man, into the girls dormitory just like that? Shouldnt there be a manager on duty in the middle of the night? Dereliction of duty! While Su Wanwan was grumbling inwardly, Huo Jingshen had already taken her to their building, expertly guiding her to Dorm 109. He raised an eyebrow, motioning for her to unlock the door. He looked so much like a boss doing an inspection. Su Wanwan thought, could it be because Ji Jie arranged the room that he, as the boss, felt uneasy? She resignedly took out her keys and unlocked the door. Once inside, she immediately closed the door. Thinking, and not feeling quite assured, she even double-locked the door, just in case someone might see something if they happened to pass by. It wouldnt look good. Having done all that, she turned around only to be met by someones teasing gaze. He stood there, his suit unbuttoned; his deep black eyes persistently staring at her, his voice low and ambiguous, What are you locking the door for? Eh? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes without yet uttering a word. The man had already started walking towards her. His towering figure naturally exuded an oppressive aura, causing Su Wanwan to unconsciously retreat until she bumped into the solid door. He raised his arm and leaned against the spot above her head, looking down as he asked, Baby just locked the door. What is she planning to do? What what Su Wanwan stammered, her voice trembling slightly. Because they were standing too close close enough to Huo Jingshen maintained his current position. The girl had put on light makeup today. Her fluffy, curly hair fell around her shoulders, accentuating her fair skin and red lips, making her look enchanting. Her thick eyelashes fluttered nervously, casting two fan-shaped shadows on her cheeks, stimulating his heartstrings. Su Wanwan felt a chill when he stared at her. Those familiar eyes told her that this man was dangerous! So when his dark eyes suddenly narrowed, Su Wanwan felt alarm bells ringing in her head. She immediately tried to push him away, Didnt you want to check out the room? Already did. Huo Jingshen easily held down her small hands, his voice sultry as he said, Its a bit small. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes. Whats a bit small? Next time, Ill get someone to swap for a bigger bed, Huo Jingshen added. That definitely carried a special meaning! Su Wanwan quickly replied, No need, no need. I think its already very big. Big enough to sleep. Huo Jingshen agreed, Yes, the beds a bit narrow, but it is big enough to sleep. Su Wanwan: Why did their conversation feel a bit off? She coughed twice, Its already eight oclock, arent you leaving? I need to do my homework. Huo Jingshen was still leaning against her. His charming, deep voice was calm and still, like the quietest part of the midnight sea, What homework? English homework, the teacher will check it tomorrow. Spend some time with hubby first. Huh? Su Wanwan was stunned, What what else? After being with hubby, hubby will accompany youto do homework. Su Wanwans eyes widened in shock, Holy crap, you jerk! You Huo Jingshen let out a slight smile. From yesterday morning until now, they had been apart for a full thirty-six hours Bang bang bang! At that moment, however, someone knocked on the door. Su Wanwan quickly pushed him away, startled. What the heck! So awkward! It was like being caught red-handed on the crime scene! Bang bang bang! The door was knocked again. Simultaneously, a womans high-pitched and impatient voice was heard from outside, Isnt the light on? Where are the people? Su Wanwan could only muster the courage to ask, Who is it? Dormitory manager! Chapter 149 - Chapter 149:149, got caught in the Chapter 149:149, got caught in the Translator: 549690339 dormitory? Whats going on? Surprise sanitation inspection! Su Wanwan: Damn! A surprise sanitation inspection at past eight in the evening? Do the teachers have to be so dedicated? Su Wanwans face fell blank, she turned around and saw that he had actually sat up unnoticed. A long leg was bent beneath him, one hand supporting his chin! As she couldnt help but glare at him, he actually raised one eyebrow at her hooking his thin lips, eyes slightly narrowed. Su Wanwan: Damn! Who is this old fox flirting with? Bang, bang, bang! The room door was shaken by a deafening bang. The administrators impatient voice came in again, What are you dilly-dallying about? Open the door quickly! If you dont open the door soon, you will get a score of zero! Upon hearing the words score of zero, Su Wanwan hurriedly yelled, I Im taking a bath! Im not finished yet, wait a while! Having said that, she quickly gathered up her clothes that had been thrown at the foot of the bed and put them on over her head. The amusement in Huo Jingshens eyes deepened. He raised an elegant eyebrow, his eyes undisguisedly watching her. Then hurry up! I will inspect the next room first. With the administrators scolding, the footsteps outside the door finally disappeared. Su Wanwan quickly lifted her leg and kicked him, Quickly, while theyre inspecting the next room, sneak out! Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened. Sneak out? IS he, Huo Jingshen, the kind of man who sneaks around? He narrowed his eyes dangerously, suddenly he reached out. Ah! Su Wanwan cried out and tried to escape, Bastard, what do you want to do now! His long, thin fingers easily fastened the buttons at the back to her Huo Jingshens handsome face was unruffled, his tone was completely upright What are you thinking? Im helping my wife fasten her buttons. Su Wanwan: You were shouting so loudly, arent you afraid now of being discovered by the administrator? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, feeling too lazy to argue with this pervert Just hurry up and put on your clothes and sneak out. If the administrator comes back later, what are we going to do? You want me to get a zero? Which is more important, your score or your husband? Huo Jingshen suddenly asked. Nonsense! Su Wanwan replied without hesitation, Of course, the score is more important! This time it was his turn, Huo Jingshen: -Hurry up and fasten all the buttons! Su Wanwan was impatient and annoyed. Having said that, she quickly got up, put on new clothes from the wardrobe and threw her broken dress on the ground into the trash can. When she turned around, a certain someone was still sitting there without moving. Su Wanwan was anxious. She walked over and helped him button up his shirt herself. Huo Jingshen was originally somewhat gloomy- Which man would be in a good mood? But when Su Wanwan came up to him, lowered her head, and carefully helped him fasten his shirt buttons- For some reason, it felt as if a gap had suddenly been torn in his heart, and a strange feeling suddenly rushed in. Warm and hot. His eyebrows jumped, his entire person seemed to have been stroked by the spring breeze of March, his facial lines completely softened, and the amusement in his eyes was so rich that they almost overflowed. Just when she had fastened all his buttons and he was about to speak Alright, alright, you should go now. The way she hurried him along made his joyful mood sink instantly. How much does his wife want to disassociate from him? Su Wanwan had already reached the door. She first opened the door, stuck her 1 tie head out to look left and right, then quickly turned her head and beckoned to him, Quick, theyre inspecting the next room. You must sneak out now and remember to run fast! Make sure youre not discovered! Huo Jingshen had a stern look on his face:,.. Was he here to steal things? Does he look like hes sneaking around to his wife? And he had to run fast? What would happen if he ran slow? -What are you dilly-dallying about! Su Wanwan was about to die of anxiety You hurry up, we dont have time! Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, appearing displeased, but eventually got As he walked leisurely towards her with long strides, just about to speak She directly reached out, pushed him outside, then slammed the door shut. Huo Jingshen stood outside the door, his facial nerves twitched twice. This girl When voices came from the next room, he raised an eyebrow and still turned and left. Almost at the same time, several people walked out from the next room. They were the dormitory administrator, Ms. Wang, the dormitory management committee president Zhou Hong, and the student union member Lm Qiao. Just in time to see the back of a man walking away. He was tall and wore a black suit, looking mature and steady. Lin Qiao immediately said, This man came out of dorm room 109. Zhou Hong frowned, How do you know? Just now, dorm to9 refused to open the door. If it wasnt her hiding a man then who else could it be? If you dont believe me, we can knock on the door again now, I guarantee shell open it immediately. Ms. Wang walked over skeptically and knocked on the door. As expected, the door quickly opened, and Su Wanwan, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, stood cleanly and neatly to the side, Okay, you can check now. Watching her pretend to be innocent there, Lin Qiao couldnt help but scoff Su Wanwan, youre really something. You hid him so diligently, only a few days into the new semester and youre already so impatient to bring a man back to your dorm room.. Ha, are you that desperate? Chapter 150 - Chapter 150:150, the car key is lost in my wife’s dormitory. Chapter 150:150, the car key is lost in my wifes dormitory. Translator: 549690339 I Which eye of yours saw me messing around with a man in my room? Su Wanwan also laughed. It was obviously my husband! The other half, legally and rightfully mine as indicated on our marriage certificate! So, why would it be messing around? Lin Qiao continued to sneer, All three of us saw it. There was clearly a man running out of your room just now, otherwise, why were you too scared to open the door? Really? Su Wanwan blinked, her tone innocent. Since youre so sure he ran out of my room, why didnt you stop him, let him confront me? With your glee at the prospect of my disgrace, how could you miss such a golden opportunity? You Lin Qiao was left speechless. Before she could think of a response, Su Wenwen immediately said, Also, are you here to check the hygiene? Or to check on men? Having said that, she directly looked at the teacher, Teacher Wang, I have a class early tomorrow morning, and I havent finished my homework yet, please hurry up with your inspection. Teacher Wang nodded and quickly walked into the dormitory with Zhou Hong. Grinding her teeth, Lin Qiao had no choice but to follow them in. She had intended to find some evidence, but the room was spotlessly clean neat and tidy. That was quick. Lin Qiao thought unwillingly. Having seen Su Wenwen leave with that old man in his car by the school gate in the afternoon, she was convinced that the wretched woman was out to mess around and would definitely return late. So, she deliberately proposed a surprise hygiene inspection during the meeting. Unexpectedly, Su Wenwen returned so early, even bringing another man back with her. Messing around with two men in one day without a break, isnt she a bit desperate? Shes a total lewd woman indeed! Unfortunately, theres no evidence! Lin Qiao was exceedingly frustrated. Due to the presence of teachers and students, she couldnt be too obvious, lest people think she was targeting anyone purposely. The inspection is over. Its all quite clean, Zhou Hongs voice sounded. Teacher Wang nodded, jotted down a score, and was about to leave. Wait a minute. Lin Qiao interrupted, Im going to check the bathroom. Su Wenwens heart pounded anxiously. Sure enough, after Lin Qiao had a glance at the bathroom, her face became smug. Su Wanwan, didnt you say you were taking a shower just now? Why is there no sign of water in the bathroom? Teacher Wang and Zhou Hong immediately checked it out too. Thats really true. No trace at all to show that someone took a shower in the bathroom. Its obvious that youre lying purposely. Dare you still say that man did not come out of your room? Having finally found a handle, Lin Qiaos voice became shrill with excitement. Under her instigation, Teacher Wang also began to suspect, Can you explain what exactly happened just now? Su Wenwen smiled faintly, Teacher, I did say I was taking a shower, but I didnt specify. I was about to take a shower and had just undressed when you knocked on my door. So I had to put my clothes back on. Teacher Wang: Zhou Hong: What an explanation That was flawless! Lin Qiao nearly crushed her teeth in anger. And yet, she had no counterarguments. In the end, with the dormitory inspection completed, the three left in frustration. Su Wanwan patted her racing heart and quickly shut the door. Damn it! She swore to herself that if the old man dared to come to the dormitory again, she would be a dog! * * As they left the dormitory building, Lin Qiao said, Teacher Wang, President Zhou, you both saw that man just now, right? They both nodded. She then said, Although this building houses graduate and exchange students, it is still full of female dormitories. Isnt it inappropriate to let men come and go at will? Teacher Wang looked embarrassed. She and another administrator were responsible for the security of these female dormitories. Normally, the graduate and exchange students were older girls. Its normal for them to have boyfriends at this age. There were even quite a number of them who were married, and strict monitoring wasnt possible. ThatS why they usually turned a blind eye to such matters and hadnt encountered any problems so far I believe, starting from tomorrow, all female dormitories should outright prohibit the entry and exit of the opposite sex! Its better to prevent any trouble before it arises! Zhou Hong frowned, Is that necessary? Why isnt it necessary? Look at Su Wenwen just now, she even brought a man back to her dormitory. What if the man is a creepy perverted old man? Can you guarantee the safety of the other dorms? * Huo Jinghong was still unaware that he had become a perverted, creepy old man in someones mouth. He arrived at the school gate and immediately took out his phone to dial a number. The call was quickly answered, and a girls impatient voice came through, What do you want now? Baby, Huo Jinghong said solemnly, I left in a hurry just now and I think I left my car keys in your dorm. Can you help me find them? The call fell silent. The little girl must have gone looking for the keys. Huo Jinghong raised his eyebrows, laughing at her actions, silently counting down in his heart. 6 One. Two. Three Found it, damn it, how can you be so careless? Its good that it was under the pillow and wasnt discovered. Of course, it wouldnt be discovered. He deliberately had left it under the pillow. Huo Jinghong replied as if nothing had happened, Im at the front gate where I parked earlier. Can you bring me the keys, honey? So annoying! Wait. The call was cut off. Huo Jinghong put down his phone, put his hands in his suit pants pockets and waited calmly for the little white rabbit to deliver herself diligently to the doorstep. Well, next time he could leave his watch, lighter, cigarette case, tie, jacket. Chapter 151 - Chapter 151:151 the real_life version of the domineering Chapter 151:151 the real_life version of the domineering Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan came out of the dormitory with her car keys and headed to where she parked her car at the school gate. However, she noticed several girls huddled at the roadside, chit-chatting and discussing something. As she approached Wow, this man is really handsome. Do you guys know him? Ive seen him standing here for quite a while. Is he waiting for his girlfriend? Hes tall, handsome, and even drives a luxury car. Wouldnt it be way too lucky to be his girlfriend! This is what the real-life version of a domineering CEO looks like! Im just not certain what his girlfriend looks like Su Wanwan was speechless. Especially after seeing a certain tall and lanky guy leaning on the car, flaunting shamelessly Su Wanwan cringed. She accepted, Huo Jingshen was tall, handsome, and wealthy, but was there a need to be so infatuated? Oh my god, hes looking at me! Hes even more handsome from the front! He has an impressive aura! Is he a celebrity? I cant resist, Im going to take a picture and post it on Weibo! Before Su Wanwan could react, Huo Jingshen had walked up to her with his long strides. The girls gasped as they realized the subject of their discussion had made his appearance. Huo Jingshen grabbed her hand and started to lead her away. Su Wanwan decided not to resist and quietly walked to the car with him due to the observing crowd. He snatched the car keys from her, and then she was pushed up against the car. Su Wanwan, startled, retorted, What do you think youre doing, this is a school! No rash actions! Huo Jingshen was holding her hand, and his deep voice whispered in her ear, There are spectators around, give your husband some face. Damn! Su Wanwan made every effort to resist his advances. A public kiss performance was something a particular person always enjoyed, these lingering French kisses that would last for several minutes each time Who could bear it? Seems like sensing her shyness, Huo Jingshen ended his actions, then raised his eyebrows, Since my baby is so shy, lets move inside the car. After that, he already had the car door open. Looking at the passenger seat, Su Wanwan had an uneasy feeling. Her intuition as a woman told her it would be best not to get in the car! However I still have an assignment to write. She tried to walk away but was stopped by Huo Jingshen. He stared at her, his tone indifferent, Sit for a moment and then leave. What are you thinking about? Su Wanwan: Forget it. Kissing in the car is better than having a public performance and being photographed, right? So, she got in the car. After Huo Jingshen also got in the car, she was about to say something. But before she could do so, the car door was locked, and with the sound of revving engines, the car quickly dashed off. What are you doing? Su Wanwan voiced her surprise. Huo Jingshen with an innocent look, Didnt you say it wasnt good to be at the school gate? Su Wanwan: But when the car quickly turned into a dark alley, memories of last time flooded her mind. Caught unawares, Su Wanwans heart throbbed. Bastard! Ive been fooled by you! Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. * * It was two hours later when Huo Jingshen returned home. It was already past to at night. Mr. Huo. The newly hired live-in maid, Aunt Han, did not know what to do, The young master has been hiding in the study playing with the computer. He hasnt gone to sleep yet, and I cant persuade him otherwise. I understand. The mans handsome face looked unusually gentle, even his tone was the same, You can go rest. Yes. He went upstairs. To provide a good study atmosphere for Fu Ziyang, the room next to the childrens room had been transformed into a study. At this moment the door was tightly closed, but the light spilling out was very apparent. He knocked on the door gently, Ziyang. After a while, the door finally opened. Fu Ziyang, dressed in a cute little nightgown, looked up at him with his little face, Uncle Huo. Why are you still awake this late? Huo Jingshen adopted a parents posture. Fu Ziyang blinked his eyes, I will go to sleep soon. But aunt Han said you were playing with the computer. The little chap readily admitted his mistake, Uncle Huo, I was wrong, I shouldnt have been so indulged in playing. I will go to sleep right away. Well, its fine to play with the computer, but you must pay attention to your rest schedule. After saying this, Huo Jingshen turned and left. Although Fu Ziyang was only five years old, he was very mature and sensible for his age. Unlike other children, his IQwas high, and he was calm and self-disciplined at a young age. Except for several occasions where he wanted to run away from home to find his mother, overall, he was a child who did not require adults to worry too much about his upbringing. As such, Huo Jingshen wasnt too strict as he could already look after himself. As for Fu Ziyang, after watching Uncle Huo enter the room, he quickly turned walked to the computer desk, and opened the spreadsheet with the survey data on it. He set a password, saved it in the mailbox, and after checking that he hadnt left any traces, he shut down the computer. He had no choice, as all the adults refused to tell him who his biological mother was. Now that he was in China, he decided to try his best to find his mother himself.. Chapter 152 - Chapter 152:152, Mr. Huo helps his wife with her homework Chapter 152:152, Mr. Huo helps his wife with her homework Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshen took a shower and when he came out, it was eleven oclock at night. He picked up his phone and tried to call the young girl. Surprisingly, she answered. All he heard was a roaring rant, Why are you calling again! So annoying! Could you not disturb me! Could you not bother me! Im busy! Huo Jingshens eyebrows twitched, Its so late, why arent you sleeping? What are you busy with? Homework! Su Wanwans tone was very impatient. What homework? The English essay the teacher is going to check tomorrow, Ive told you a million times! Huo Jingshen: Its all your fault! The lights will be off soon and my computer is almost out of battery, you jerk! Then dont write anymore. Huo Jingshen advised. You think I am you, stinky man! You have fun and then run away, pulling out without any emotion, worse than a beast! Su Wanwan was furious. She had just been pulled back into the car by him, wasting a full two hours, and her back and waist were still sore. She was both sleepy and tired, but she still had to rush her English homework. Being a student was too hard! Huo Jingshen coughed twice, Whose fault is it that you refused to go home with me just now? I wont! If she went home, she might suffer terrible torment again! Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Then send it to me. Send what? Send me the topic of the essay. Your husband will help you do it. Huo Jingshen explained patiently. Since marrying this little girl, he found that his patience had really improved a lot. Can you do it? Su Wanwan sounded doubtful. After all, this wasnt elementary or middle school homework. Baby. Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, Did you not just experience whether I am capable or not? You shameless! Su Wanwan immediately hung up the phone. Huo Jingshen could not hold back his smile. A WeChat notification sound interrupted his whimsy. Su Wanwan really sent the English essay topic over. Followed by three lines of emotion-filled text: Send it to me after you finish! You are not allowed to sleep until you finish! If you dont hand it in tomorrow morning, youre dead! Huo Jingshen quickly replied, Baby, youre really tired right now. Go to sleep. Buzz off! Hahaha. After ten minutes, Huo Jingshen brought a laptop from the study next door. Then, he sat on the sofa with a serious expression doing homework for his wife! * * The next day. The first thing Su Wanwan did when she woke up was to check her phone. When she found out that Huo Jingshen had actually written a two-page word English essay There was no surprise, only anger. Damn it, he really is a shameless and crafty businessman! Just because he got satisfied, he could agree to any request. The CEO of a conglomerate actually did her homework for her! He was totally shameless! She had been prepared to be punished for not handing in the work today, alright. Su Wanwan got up, quickly opened the computer, and sent out the homework. An hour later, in English class. As soon as the female professor stepped up to the podium, she slapped the table, causing it to bang loudly. Before class started, there were still more than a dozen students who did not send their homework to my mailbox. You all rise! Quickly! The classroom immediately filled with wails. Li Mochou was as infamous as predicted. Only a few days after school started, she began to take action! Su Wanwan, as usual, sat in the last row of the classroom. Watching Professor Li scold each student individually, she patted her heart, relieved that her husband had completed the homework for her. Her cell phone suddenly lit up. Su Wanwan looked at it. Little sister, where are you? Im at your school! Oh my God! Why on earth did Ye Qitian show up? Su Wanwan quickly replied, Im in class, you go entertain yourself for now. What class? Im here to find you! Su Wanwan ignored him, as Li Mochou had finished scolding them and returned to the lectern. You! Report to my office after this class! Unbelievable behaviour! She slammed her hand on the desk, All of you sit down! Class is about to start. The classroom returned to quiet. Perhaps due to Li Mochous outburst, everyone dare not stir up more trouble. Su Wenwen was genuinely focused. However, the peace didnt last long. Suddenly, clang, the classroom door was kicked open. Immediately after Junior Sister! Su Wanwan: Li Mochou almost had a heart attack, especially when she saw Ye Qitians outfit. Ripped jeans, a studded leather jacket, silver hair, and green aviator shades. Who are you? Ye Qitian ignored her, quickly scanned the room, spotted his target, and strode in, Junior Sister, come with me on a date. The quiet classroom erupted with chatter again due to his words. Su Wanwan herself was speechless, helpless, and felt wronged. Bang, bang, bang! Li Mochou pounded the desk with the eraser, Su, whats going on? Su Wanwan quickly came up with a response, stood up and said, Sorry, professor. He is actually my little brother, who had an accident when he was young and damaged his brain. Hes a bit mentally challenged. Everyone: Junior Sister! Ye Qitian surprisingly played along, Im Lin Pingzhi, Junior Sister. I havent undergone castration. Lets go on a date! Hahaha The entire classroom burst into laughter, with students falling over themselves. Su Wanwan was embarrassed beyond words. She tried to keep going, He watched Swordsman last night and got slightly obsessed. He must have sneaked out. Ill return him home. That being said, she hurried to usher Ye Qitian out, but that idiot was enjoying his role-play. No, I wont leave. I will practice the Sunflower Manual. I will defeat Yue Buqun. Junior Sister, lets practice together. Dont like Leng Huchong. Like me, please Su Wanwan was speechless. What on earth was happening? Just get him out of here! Li Mochou yelled impatiently. Su Wanwan hastily dragged him out of the classroom. Laughter could still be heard from the classroom as they retreated. This is so embarrassing! Once they got to the next floor, Su Wanwan promptly slapped him on the back of his head, Can you please stop barging into classrooms? This is Nancheng, not Los Angeles! Ye Qitian winced in pain, Whats wrong with Nancheng? Su Wanwan glared at him menacingly. Her school was already full of annoying people, and he added to the nuisance. Junior Sister, how was my acting just now? This person even dared to ask for credit. Su Wanwan managed a tight smile, Amazing, utterly amazing. How do you manage to act retarded so convincingly? It took a while for Ye Qitian to respond. He inflated with pride, I told you I have a knack for this. Once I wrap up this play, Ill certainly become an instant hit! Damn this retard! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. Before she could respond, she heard a familiar voice from behind, Sister? She turned around to see Su Yanyan, donned in her signature white dress, with a boy and a girl by her side. That girl looked familiar. Before she could recognize her, the girl spoke first, Isnt this Ye Qitian? Ye Qitian was surprised, You know me? Of course, I do. Youre the new heartthrob from Huanyu Media and a returned overseas student. Jian Xiaoman said, entertaining a suggestive smile. Shed captured photos and videos of the two in the bar last time but had not found the perfect occasion to reveal it. Now they were presented to her on a platter? Ye Qitian nudged Su Wanwan with an elbow, sounding quite proud, Junior Sister, see? I have fans. Su Wanwan: Hehe. Probably a hater, you mean. Sure enough, Jian Xiaoman said, You guys are brave to openly date in school. Arent you afraid of being seen? Ye Qitian was arrogantly dismissive, Even if they see me on a date, so what? As stars, especially newcomers like you, arent you most afraid of scandals? Jian Xiaoman turned to Su Wanwan with a malicious look, Let alone Miss Su here, shes quite the big shot in Nancheng. What happens when the reporters find out, the news explodes, wont the Huo family be disgraced? Dont put it that way, Su Yanyan pretentiously intercepted, My sister isnt like that, she would never cheat on her husband. Oh, thank you so much. Su Wanwan responded sarcastically. Look at her, going on and on with my sister every time theyre in public C so charming, so cordial. Its sad that Su Yanyan isnt in showbiz. Spectators are missing out. However, it was still school time, and she wasnt interested in wasting time arguing with these annoying people. So, she told Ye Qitian, You better get going, I need to get back to class.. Chapter 153 - Chapter 153:153, can you stop bothering me so I can study properly? Chapter 153:153, can you stop bothering me so I can study properly? Translator: 549690339 However, Ye Qitian was persistent, Why do you have to go to class when youre already out, lets go for a ride with your brother. Its rare for me to have a day off from filming Can you please not bother me while Im studying? Studying? Ha. Little junior sister, did you have a second life or had a change of heart? I remember when we first met, you kept nagging me to take you to the night club, to watch muscular men performing pole dances and stripping Ouch! Why did you pinch me? Su Wanwan responded with a fake smile on her face, If you dont go, I will. With that, she turned around and headed upstairs. But just as she took a few steps Are you so eager to get Mr. Ye to leave because you feel guilty about something? Jian Xiaomans voice was sharp and piercing, To prevent such suspicions, you shouldnt act suspiciously. Now, you pretend to be a pure lotus, but maybe you play all sorts of games behind closed doors. Youre shameless! Hearing these unpleasant words, Su Wanwan finally couldnt bear it. She stopped in her tracks and whipped around. Her beautiful eyes flashed like cold lightning and her voice was even colder, Miss Jian, are you still not satisfied with the beating you received last time? Jian Xiaomans face paled. Theres a saying thats so true, out of sight, out of mind. What, do you want me to add a few more scars to your face? Listening to this threatening language, Jian Xiaoman instinctively stepped back, her face clearly displaying fear. She hasnt forgotten the last time in the restroom when this Su Wanwan, like a madwoman, actually took on the two of them, fighting Li Qi ruthlessly. If it werent for the quick arrival of the hotel security, she suspected that her face would have been seriously damaged But this place was a school. It was broad daylight, and there were quite a few classmates around watching the scene unfold, which gave her more courage. Su Wanwan, what are you so arrogant about? Everyone knows that you and your husband lead separate lives. Weve seen the recent news reports, your husband already has a mistress and an illegitimate child on the outside. Im afraid in a few days you will inevitably be driven out of the Huo family! Upon hearing this, Ye Qitian showed interest, Little sister, does your husband really have a mistress and an illegitimate child? You should hurry up and divorce him and be with me Shut up! Su Wanwan gave him an annoyed look. What an idiot! If it werent for him, would there be so much trouble today? Ye Qitian obediently closed his mouth, quiet as a chicken. Su Wanwan once again turned to Jian Xiaoman, Only fools would believe such unfounded gossip. Its no wonder that the Jian family has always been mediocre, it seems your parents are like you, low IQ, always following the herd. Jian Xiaomans face changed abruptly, but before she could react, Su Wanwan continued, Besides, even if those news reports are true, I am still the Huo familys lawful granddaughter-in-law. You come up to me and speak disrespectfully, make false statements, and even throw dirt on me, heh, do you have any evidence? Do you know how many years you can be sentenced for defaming and slandering? Or maybe She let out a cold laugh, Do you think the Huo family will let anyone who tarnishes their reputation off easily? Jian Xiaoman clenched her fists. But, Su Wanwan was right. She dared not offend the Mo Family, let alone the wealthiest family in Nancheng, the Huo Family. As long as Su Wanwan was still part of the Huo family, who would dare to offend her? Su Yanyan had been standing there quietly, watching all this. Seeing Jian Xiaoman silenced by Su Wanwan, she glanced at Su Wanwan, and suddenly a glint flashed in her eyes. It was so quick that almost no one noticed it. Then, she quickly walked over. Stepping one foot on the stairs, she reached out to grab Su Wanwans arm and said softly, Sister, isnt it a bit too much? After all, Xiaoman is my friend Get your dirty hands off me! Su Wanwan stood a step higher than her, making her look down. Su Yanyan didnt let go, but placed her other hand on Su Wanwan, and continued to pretend to be weak, Xiaoman misunderstood your relationship with Mr. Ye because she saw you drinking together at the bar last time. She didnt mean to, could you let her off? Jian Xiaoman didnt expect Su Yanyan to bring up this matter and was somewhat startled, Yanyan, what are you talking about? Su Yanyan, I believe my sister isnt the type of person shes accused of being. Theyre probably just friends. Xiaoman, for my sake, could you delete those ambiguous photos and videos? Theyre not doing any good for my sister. Jian Xiaoman felt as if Su Yanyan had lost her mind. But before she could react, Su Yanyan quickly snatched the phone from her hand and passed it directly to Su Wanwan, Sister, delete all the photos and videos in it. Su Yanyan, have you gone mad?! Jian Xiaoman was anxious and tried to grab her phone back. Su Yanyan forcefully put the phone into Su Wanwans hands and when Jian Xiaoman rushed over, she blocked her with her body. Due to the force, Su Wanwan was pushed forward. She quickly reached out to hold the staircase railing, but Su Yanyan suddenly let go of her hands. Ah! Accompanied by a scream, she actually fell from the stairs. Although it was only two steps, she fell on the ground and immediately clutched her stomach, moaning in pain, It hurts, my stomach, ah All this happened so fast, Su Wanwan couldnt react in time. Su Wanwan, how could you be so cruel, even pushing your own sister down the stairs! Jian Xiaoman immediately screamed.. Chapter 154 - Chapter 154:154, don’t pin all the shit on me! Chapter 154:154, dont pin all the shit on me! Translator: 549690339 Half an hour later, in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Nangong Hospital. Su Wanwan stood in the corridor, listening to Su Yanyans screams from the emergency room, I want Dr. Zhou, none of you are allowed to touch me! Ah! Dont touch me Su Wanwan felt like rolling her eyes. At a time like this, was there really a need to act like a spoilt brat?! Finally, a chubby female doctor came running from the end of the corridor. Dr. Zhou, youre finally here. This lady has been complaining about a stomachache, but she wont let us examine her. The emergency doctor let out a sigh of relief. Dr. Zhou nodded, then looked at the few young people in the corridor, I am Su Yanyans attending physician, who can tell me what exactly happened? Jiang Xiaoman quickly said, I am Yanyans friend, she fell down the stairs Nonsense! Before she could finish, Dr. Zhou interrupted her sternly, Dont you all know she is pregnant? Jiang Xiaoman turned pale, I, I really didnt know before. Because Su Yanyan was in the early stages of pregnancy, not even three months, following the old tradition, the Su family and Xing family kept the pregnancy secret, not even revealing a word even at the wedding. When she didnt attend military training with the new first-year students due to illness, Jiang Xiaoman thought it was because she had to take care of the injured Xing Yuyun, she never expected that she was pregnant. She immediately pointed at Su Wanwan, It was her, she pushed Yanyan, I saw it clearly! Before Su Wanwan could speak, Ye Qitian began to defend her, Nonsense! Clearly it was you who tried to snatch the phone! Yes, I did snatch my phone, but Yanyan was standing right in front of her at the time. Who else pushed her if not her? Everyone knows she had a past with Xing Yuyun, the two sisters fell out because of a man, she clearly did it on purpose! To seek revenge! Little junior sister has a husband, and me, such a handsome backup, she can play with anyone, and playboy trash is also an option? Su Wanwan: Was this supposed to help her or harm her? Jiang Xiaoman was infuriated, Youre her lover, of course, youd speak for her! What are you calling me, I, Ye Qitian hit women too Whats all this noise, this is a hospital! The emergency doctor interrupted impatiently, Dr. Zhou, please go in and check on the pregnant woman! Dr. Zhou took the plastic gloves and immediately went into the emergency room. The door was closed, and the corridor was quiet again. But soon, the door opened again, and the emergency doctor and two nurses came out. Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly asked, Whats the situation? The emergency doctor said, The pregnant woman is a bit agitated and only allows Dr. Zhou to be present. Jiang Xiaoman glared at Su Wanwan immediately, Vixen! Look at the state youve gotten Yanyan into! Su Wanwan stood there, her brow furrowed. She was very annoyed with this little angelic sister, and sometimes she wished Su Yanyan and Jiang Yi would just disappear, but The child was innocent after all. Hopefully, nothing too serious happens Ye Qitian saw she had been quiet for a long time and thought she was scared, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her in a grandiose manner, Little junior sister, dont be afraid, Im here. Su Wanwan bit her lip, just as she was about to speak, his phone rang. After a glance, he hurried to answer it in a corner. Then, there was a rushing sound of footsteps in the corridor again. Uncle, aunty, youre finally here, Jiang Xiaoman immediately cried out. Jiang Yi came forward and looked at Su Wanwan with a complex expression. She was genuinely shocked by Jiang Xiaomans call earlier. She hadnt expected that Su Yanyan would take action on her own, and even less expected it to be so sudden. This matter had caused her not to get a good nights sleep these past few days. She was worried that over time, if the Xing family really found out the truth about the fake pregnancy, they would be in a bad situation. She was also worried about this risky plan of blame-shifting, if there was a small mistake, it could backfire. Right now, she was completely in a bind Whats going on here? Su Yuntangs voice of reproach resounded, when he looked at Su Wanwan, his eyes contained undisguised disgust and aversion. Jiang Xiaoman immediately recounted the incident vividly, adding fuel to the fire, Its because I took a picture of their secret rendezvous, Su Wanwan was afraid of being exposed, and came to snatch my phone, and as a result, she pushed Yanyan off the stairs. Bastard! Su Yuntang was instantly furious, raising his voice, Youre usually reckless, but now you even dare to attack a pregnant woman, Yanyan is carrying your nephew! That is a living life! Wanwan. Jiang Yi also began to scold, I know you have always disliked Yanyan, but she is now pregnant, cant you be more careful, not to be so heavy-handed? What if you really hurt the child, can you sleep at night? If anything happens to my grandchild, I absolutely wont spare you! Su Yuntang spoke directly. Seeing the couple bicker, Su Wanwan became somewhat irritable, I didnt push her, she fell by herself! Bastard, you dare to quibble! Su Yuntang was having none of it, Last time you dared to hit Jiang Yi, what cant you do, you vile creature. Who are you guys? At this moment, Ye Qitian rushed over, Dare to yell at my junior sister, do you want to die? Su Wanwan wordlessly pulled him, You should leave first. How can I do that, these two ugly monsters are threatening, Im afraid theyll bully you. The faces of the arguing couple instantly became ugly. Su Yuntang was about to retaliate, but the door to the emergency room opened, and everyone rushed over, bombarding the doctor with questions: Doctor Zhou, how is my daughter? Is my grandchild okay? Is the child all right? Doctor Zhou sighed, Miss Su is a few days short of three months pregnant, and the fetus itself is not very stable. The mothers body is weaker. She suffered a severe hit and directly injured her abdomen. The child is already gone. What? Jiang Yi screamed, her legs suddenly weakened, and she started to tip over to the side. Su Yuntang quickly propped up his wife. Jiang Yi, struggling to stabilize herself, asked, What about my daughter now? Doctor Zhou said, The pregnant woman had a miscarriage and is quite emotional. You have to comfort her and she must bed rest in the coming days. Before he finished speaking, an acute cry came from the emergency room, My child, my child Jiang Yi rushed in, Yanyan! Mom, is my child gone? Su Yanyan lay on the sickbed, her expression pained, suddenly, she extended her hand, pointed at Su Wanwan standing at the door, Its my elder sister! I wanted to help her with good intentions, but she pushed me, she killed my child, she is the murderer, its all her She lowered her head, no longer able to restrain her tears, and buried her face in her hands and wept. Jiang Yi held her daughter, continuously soothing her. Su Yuntang couldnt bear it any longer, he charged over in a rage, raising his hand as if to hit her, You vile creature Ye Qitians eyes flared, and he subconsciously rushed forward to protect her. Su Wanwan clearly expected this and quickly dodged backwards. A sudden, resounding slap. Accompanied by the scream of a woman. That slap actually hit Jiang Xiaomans face. It directly stunned her! She happened to be standing next to Su Wanwan, originally enjoying the spectacle, never expected to suffer innocently. She covered her swollen left cheek, feeling both pain and grievance, her tears immediately falling, Uncle, why did you hit me? Su Yuntang was also somewhat taken aback, but before he could react, Su Wanwans voice rang out coldly. You think Im still the Su Wanwan of the past, you can hit or scold me whenever you want? She stood there, each word landing heavily, Ill say it again now, I didnt push her, this accident was purely accidental, dont try to dump all sorts of blame onto me! Upon finishing, she turned around and left. Junior sister! Ye Qitian came to his senses, and hurriedly chased after her. Su Wanwan was very angry, she walked quickly, didnt even bother to wait for the elevator, directly rushing down the staircase. She dashed down eight floors in one breath and came to the first floor. She turned a corner and collided with a woman. Ouch, you blind girl, cant you see while walking? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? The woman was garishly dressed but spoke crudely. Su Wanwan glanced at her, saw that she wasnt seriously hurt, and said, Sorry. You damn girl, you bump into someone and apologize just like that? How did your parents raise you? Hey, why are you running, you damn girl, stop Zhang Liya cursed, her shrill voice completely out of place in the hospital.. Chapter 155 - Chapter 155:155, Xiaobai: Let the security throw him out Chapter 155:155, Xiaobai: Let the security throw him out Translator: 549690339 Su Wenwen didnt expect, after getting rid of the hypocritical white lotus, shed run into a shrew. Today must be unlucky. She didnt check her fortune before going out. Zhang Liya grabbed her arm, spitting as she scolded, Do you have any idea how much this designer bag of mine cost? Youve dented it! I bet you did it on purpose, you wrecked my stuff then tried to run away? Su Wanwan rubbed her forehead in frustration, Lady, are you here to see a doctor or to scam? Why dont you just say that I broke your leg? Oh my, you hurt someone and still act so arrogant, such a mouthy little tramp Watch your mouth! Su Wanwan snapped, Im not in a good mood, annoy me further and youll regret it. Oh, youre threatening me now, you cheeky minx. No one has ripped your mouth apart yet What are you squabbling about? This is a hospital! Finally, a nurse had enough and intervened. However, Zhang Liya roared back at the nurse too, Who do you think you are, daring to interrupt me? The nurse frowned, Maam, please have some manners. Another nurse walked over, Exactly, if you want to argue, take it outside. Dont disturb other patients! Zhang Liya, seeing that she was outnumbered, loosened her grip on Su Wanwan, rolled up her sleeves and shouted, Fine! You all dare to yell at me? Do you know who I am? Silence met Zhang Liyas question, she smirked in triumph, You all know of the Mo Group right? The son-in-law of the Mo Family, Xiao Yebai, hes my nephew! A word from him can buy this entire hospital! You still dare to defy me? Youre asking for trouble, hmph! Su Wanwans eyes twitched. Mo Xiaose has such an outrageous relative? Whats going on? A familiar male voice suddenly cut in from behind. It was Nangong Ci. Dressed in a white coat, handsome as jade, he exuded a captivating elegance and authority. A group of older doctors dressed in white coats trailed behind him, all shorter than him. He looked as distinguished as a crown prince on a tour. Deputy Director! A nurse ran over, tearful as she brought her grievances to him, This lady here has been causing a ruckus, I tried to remind her quiet down and she began swearing at us! Nangong Ci turned to Su Wanwan, What happened, little sister-in-law, are you okay? Zhang Liyas heart sank at this familiar face and the name he called Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan glanced at Zhang Liya once, then casually remarked, Your hospital is for the bourgeois, right? You let any shrew with a knock-off bag and filthy mouth come in, what a low standard. She turned and walked away. Nangong Ci was taken off guard, stifling his embarrassment. That sharp tongue of hers, almost rivaling big brother. As they say, birds of a feather flock together, and a close relative is just as sarcastic as the brother-in-law. Suppressing his astonishment, he straightened himself then solemnly said, This is a hospital, people are here for treatment. Your disturbance is getting in the way of that. Then, he promptly ordered his subordinate, Call security, have this lady thrown out! Yes, Deputy Director. You dare! My nephew is the son-in-law of the Mo Family, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew! Zhang Liya bluffed. Nangong Ci looked at her, and his eyes twinkled with amusement, Well, let your powerful nephew come find me. My name is Nangong and my office is on the top floor. Ill be waiting. With that, he swished his sleeve, turned around and without a cloud in sight walked into the elevator! Soon, a few guards came in and hauled the cursing Zhang Liya out. The nurses on the floor quickly gathered together to gossip: Wow, the Deputy Director is so handsome! The Deputy Director just oozes authority! Ohmy, I want to bear Deputy Directors child! Inside the elevator, the secretary attempted to speak, Deputy Director Check why my sister-in-law came to the hospital today and the nature of her relationship with that woman. Nangong Ci interrupted. The secretary was taken aback but quickly nodded, Understood, Deputy Director. If he can inform his big brother about this unpleasant encounter of sister-m-law in the hospital, then big brother would surely be very grateful to him. Nangong Ci, you sneaky little fox! Nangong Ci raised an eyebrow, feeling pretty proud of his quick thinking. ** Zhang Liya was thrown out of the hospital by the guards and prevented from going back in. She was furious. Eventually, she had to call her husband. Soon after, Xiao Depeng walked out of the hospital in a smart business attire, What happened? Ive been waiting for you upstairs for half an hour. Zhang Liya was too ashamed to admit what had occurred, and was about to explain when Xiao Depeng cut her off, Enough, lets hurry to the Mos, they should be in the office by now. ** Two hours later, at the Mo Group. Xiao Yebai just finished a meeting and was walking out of the conference room when he heard a commotion in the corridor. Zhong Kai rushed over and whispered, President Xiao, your uncle and aunt are here. They wanted to see the Chairman, but hes out this afternoon. The secretary tried to explain but somehow they started making a scene Cail security to throw them out. The mans voice was deep and succinct, his face never betraying any emotion as he spoke. Zhong Kai: Holy crap! He had been with Xiao Yebai for a while and knew he was ruthless in his work despite his youth, but he didnt expect him to disregard his own family to this extent Chapter 156 - Chapter 156:156, you are nothing but a dog of the Mo Family! Chapter 156:156, you are nothing but a dog of the Mo Family! Translator: 549690339 Do you have a problem with your ears? The mans voice was indifferent, causing Zhong Kais hair to stand on end. He quickly turned around and gave an order, Xiaoliu, Xiaozhang, quickly get the security guard! At this moment, Zhang Liya had already spotted Xiao Yebai and started cursing recklessly, Xiao Yebai, you ungrateful wretch! You ungrateful dog! Once you made it big, you stopped caring about your family. What youve done will come back to haunt you, youll be struck by lightning Xiao Yebai turned around, Get someone to shut her up. Zhong Kai was speechless again. Even after Xiao Yebai had entered his office and closed the door, Zhang Liya was still spouting curses. The corridor was filled with onlookers, all buzzing with their discussions. People always enjoy prying into other peoples private matters, especially when the person in question is the Mo Familys favored future son-in-law, Xiao Yebai, who usually interacts minimalistically and carries himself with a detached air, seeming untainted by worldly affairs. Everyone back to work, nothing to see here. Zhong Kai commanded, then turned to Zhang Liya, This is a company. Please refrain from making any more noise Who are you? Zhang Liya interrupted. I am Mr. Xiaos assistant Just a lackey C who do you think you are, speaking to me like that! Zhang Liya yelled. Being called a lackey, Zhong Kais face turned ugly, Ms. Xu already explained that the chairman really isnt here. If you continue to make a fuss, dont blame me for being impolite I am the chairmans family. Speak respectfully when you talk to me, or Ill have the chairman fire you! The security guard finally arrived. Zhong Kai heaved a sigh of relief and hastily ordered, Security! Throw this crazy woman out! Xiao Depeng quickly held his wife back, trying to placate her with a smile on his face, Since Chairman Mo is not here, theres no need for security. Well leave on our own. After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Zhang Liya to leave. Zhong Kai shook his head. It was truly unlucky to have such relatives as Mr. Xiao did. As Zhong Kai returned to the secretarial office, he heard chatter coming from the interior. That sort of shrew, if it was up to me, Id have slapped her a long time ago! Regardless, she is a relative. Wasnt it a bit too much for Mr. Xiao to have the security escort her away? Whats too much about it? This kind of relative only brings humiliation! Indeed, Mr. Xiao had to consider his reputation too C hes a self-made man, after all. Zhong Kai stepped in, forcefully slamming the desk, During work hours, anyone further discussing gossip will be dismissed immediately! The secretarial office immediately turned silent. ** In the office, apart from the low hum produced by the wind passing through the window, no other sound was heard. The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window was as still as a statue, his emotions hidden deep within his eyes, mirroring the dismal weather outside, where the sky was crowded with dark clouds. About an hour later, the door was abruptly pushed open accompanied by a harsh accusation, Xiao Yebai, what is the meaning of this email! An A4. document was thrown onto the office desk. The man whod entered was in his fifties. Dressed in a grey suit, his face was red and his voice high-pitched, clearly livid. I have been with the Mo Group for nearly thirty years. Back when I was serving your father, you were nothing more than a child! Now that youre merely an acting CEO, how dare you try to eject me from the board! Xiao Yebai turned around. The gloom in his eyes dissipated. Wearing flat glasses, a slim-fit, hand-stitched black suit, he looked handsome and refined. This decision was made during the recent board meeting. Did you not attend, or did you just forget what was discussed due to your failing memory? Bastard! Humiliated by someone half his age, the chairman could hardly tolerate it. He slammed his hand on the table, How dare you speak to me this way! Youre nothing but a son-in-law to the Mo family, with the responsibility of managing the company. Even the Mo father and son wouldnt dare to speak to me in such a manner! With a seemingly indifferent smile tugging at his lips, a hint of mockery could be seen in his eyes behind the glasses, In that case, you may want discuss the matter directly with the Mo father and son, why discuss it with me? You The chairman was shaking with anger. Everyone knew that the Mo Group was built single-handedly by old man Mo. Mo Yaoxiong was mediocre and had a son, Mo Weiyi, who was even less capable. Thus, ever since Xiao Yebai married Mo Weiyi and became the acting CEO, the power of the Mo Group had been gradually transferring into his hands. In recent years, Xiao Yebai had acted ruthlessly and cunning. Many old shareholders were expelled but dare not voice their anger. He had just not expected that one day, he too, would arrive at such a point! Xiao Yebai. The chairman voiced angrily, Everyone knows that you only got to where you are today by marrying the Mo Familys Little Princess. In the end, youre nothing more than a watchdog for the Mo Family by climbing up the ladder relying on a woman! Now that youre working for the Mo Family, offending so many people, when the day comes that the Mo Family no longer needs you, youll be kicked out the door As for all of that, theres no need for your concern, Chairman Zhang, Xiao Yebai, seemingly disinterested, cut him off, I read your medical report from last year. Your blood pressure isnt good. Maybe you should focus more on your health. You All of a sudden, a grating mobile ringtone was heard. Xiao Yebai walked over, saw the caller id, and his pupils slightly contracted. Uncle Shi. Young Master Xiao, could you please rush over to the old house immediately! Your aunt and uncle turned up unexpectedly. The old master is furious.. Chapter 157 - Chapter 157:157, Little Princess fiercely defends her husband: Xiaobai is mine! Chapter 157:157, Little Princess fiercely defends her husband: Xiaobai is mine! Translator: 549690339 Forty minutes later, Xiao Yebai arrived at the Mo Family mansion. Like many large families in Nancheng, the Mo Family old house was nested within a vast property near the citys fifth ring. The self-built courtyards, closely integrated with the mountains and water, housed a Western-style villa and a Chinese garden, distributed in distinct layers. It was majestic yet mysterious, showcasing the power and influence of the family. It was dim now, near evening. The sky was dark, the black clouds imposing. The stone lion that guarded the manor gate, surrounded by lush tree-shaded roads, emanated a ferocious aura. The darkness was so severe that it was suffocating. The black Bentley finally stopped in front of Chinese-style house. This was where the old master of the Mo family resided. As he entered the house, Zhang Liyas shriek could be heard, In all these years, my Yebai has been working as a horse for you, doing work for your company and taking care of your granddaughter. And now, when his relatives need a little help, you refuse? You arent afraid of people pointing fingers at your back! Exactly, father-in-law, after all we are relatives Relatives? Xiao Depeng was interrupted by a cold laugh before he could finish his sentence. Immediately afterward, the old masters aged yet mocking voice resonated, I wasnt aware that the Mo family had acquired Xiao relatives. Father-in-law, what do you mean by that? Yebai is your son-in-law, and he is my nephew. Of course we are related. Indeed, in terms of familial hierarchy, even the Mo Chairman should call us father and mother. Father and mother? Came the icy retort. Country folk are country folk, after all. You have lived for decades and still cannot see your place. You skulk around trying to find relations to climb, without considering whether you are worthy. As he spotted the man who had just entered, the old master huffed. Ten years ago, you took five million from the Mo family, executing a money for good contract. If there was ever a relation, it was severed clean long ago. Xiao Depeng retorted, Yebai has the blood of the Xiao family flowing in his veins. How can such a relationship be severed so casually? Indeed, if it wasnt for the Mo Chairman back then Seeing Xiao Yebai walk in, Xiao Depeng quickly silenced his wife before she could say anything further. Yebai, its perfect timing that youve arrived. Your grandfather-in-law is misunderstanding the situation. Please explain it to him so he wont continue to think that we came here intentionally to ask for money. Zhang Liya chimed in slyly, Yes, Yebai. You said earlier that Chairman Mo wasnt at the company so we came over instead. So you planned it all in advance. The old master laughed coldly and threw his teacup from the table at them. The teacup grazed past Xiao Yebais forehead before it hit the ground and shattered. Blood oozed from the mans cut on his forehead, trickling along his handsome face. The sight terrified Zhang Liya, causing her to issue a pig-slaughter scream, Grandfather-in-law, how can you hit people! Shi Kang, blast them out of here! The old master tightly gripped his cane, his older face filled with fury. Is this how the Mo family treats their relatives! Yebai is your son-in-law! Dont touch me, ah it hurts! The entire hall was thrown into chaos. Xiao Yebai stood there, unmoving, allowing the blood to stream down his handsome face. He kept his eyes downcast until the two were escorted out, it was then his cold and apathetic voice emerged, Im sorry, I didnt know that they would come There was another clanging sound. This time, the old master threw a jade carving from the table. You didnt know? Bringing Xiao Zhiwei years ago wasnt enough, now even your parents want to come this way? Do you think this mansion is a shelter? Listen carefully, your parasitic relatives Grandfather! A childish feminine voice interrupted urgently. The old master furrowed his brows and raised his eyes to see his granddaughter sitting in a wheelchair being pushed in by her attendant. She looked stunning in a red dress. Weiyi, what are you doing here? Your foot injury Why are you bullying Xiaobai again, Grandpa! Before he could finish, Mo Weiyis furious voice interrupted, Xiaobai is mine! If you dare to pick on him behind my back again, I will not like you anymore! Uncle Shis mouth twitched at the corners. Though at the same time, he quietly sighed in relief. No one but the Little Princess could handle the old mans temper. Indeed, his granddaughters scolding made the old mans face turn red, and his tone also softened, Grandpa is angry because of those two people What has Xiaobai got to do with those two? Mo Weiyi immediately became louder. Her beautiful eyes were accusing, If they made you angry, and you are not happy, why didnt you just tie them up and beat them up instead of venting your anger on Xiaobai? The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. They raised him for eight years Mo Weiyi interrupted him again, Xiaobai has been with us in the Mo family for a whole ten years. The Xiao couple only raised him for less than eight years. If you must blame someone, shouldnt you find my dad instead? The old master fell silent. Mo Weiyi turned her head to look at the butler, Uncle Shi, if those two dare to come again, get the bodyguard to throw them out! Yes, Princess. Mo Weiyi exhaled, then pushed her wheelchair toward the man. She reached out and held his hand hanging at his side. Xiaobai, lets go to the hospital, you have a lot of blood on your forehead. Xiao Yebai twitched his eyelids, gave a slight nod to old Master Mo, We will leave first. The old master Mo grimaced, keeping silent. Clearly, he was still angry. Mo Weiyi shook Xiao Yebais hand. Xiaobai, lets go. Never mind the stinky old man. Old Master Mo again: Being referred to as a stinky old man by his beloved granddaughter, he was quite upset! ** Leaving the main hall, Xiao Yebai suddenly asked, How did you get here? My father brought me here, I dont know where he went? Mo Weiyi pouted her small mouth. Why didnt you tell me your aunt and uncle were coming? Xiao Yebai bent down and lifted her into the passenger seat of the Bentley, his slender and elegant hand pulling the seat belt. Even though his face was smeared with fresh blood, his expression and actions remained unhurried, indifferent as if nothing had just happened. But such action only made Mo Weiyi even more heartbroken, Its all Xiao Zhiweis fault, that woman must have called my parents over, right? Xiao Yebai cast a glance at her, then closed the car door on her side. He walked around the front of the car, and as he was getting on, he looked almost indifferently at the western-style villa on the left front corner. There were two or three bodyguards standing by the gate, they were the ones who had just escorted a couple out. ** In the study on the first floor of the villa. Under the dim yellow light from the tightly closed curtains, Mo Yaoxiong pulled out a check. This is fifteen million. Once he heard this number, Xiao Depengs eyes lit up, he strode greedily towards the check, stretching both his hands But Mo Yaoxiong suddenly drew his hand back. My dear relative Eight million, for you to pay back your debt. As for the remaining seven million, do you know what it means? The couple glanced at each other, then Xiao Depeng spoke, I understand, Chairman. Dont worry, Liya and I will definitely keep the incidents of the past a secret. Im helping you time and again precisely because of the blood relation between Yebai and you. But this time, I hope its the last. Xiao Depeng hurriedly nodded, This time I had no other choice but to come to you. Rest assured, we are not greedy. Yes, thats right, we really had a mishap with our business this time, which left us with no one else to turn to for help. Zhang Liya chimed in. Mo Yaoxiong loosened his grip. Xiao Depeng finally got the cheque. His greedy eyes wide open, meticulously counting the zeros on the cheque. The cold voice of Mo Yaoxiong echoed again, I also have two conditions. Go ahead Chairman. Xiao Depeng bowed and nodded, ready to do whatever is asked, as long as he got the money. First, I want you to take this money and go far, far away, never to return to Nancheng. You have my word, Chairman, once Zhiweis health is better, Ill immediately take her back to Tongcheng to get married. We will take the money and go far away. You have our word. The couple assured repeatedly. Second. Mo Yaoxiong said, Later, I will have the bodyguards take you away, you might have to suffer a little. Upon hearing this, Zhang Liyas face crinkled. The bodyguard had grasped her arm so hard earlier that she thought it would hurt forever But Xiao Depeng readily agreed, Alright, alright, no problem, well also keep tightlipped about what happened today. He understood Mo Yaoxiongs intention, otherwise, he wouldnt have secretly brought them here to give them the money.. Chapter 158 - Chapter 158:158, the little prince who is indifferent to worldly matters Chapter 158:158, the little prince who is indifferent to worldly matters Translator: 549690339 Mo Yaoxiong nodded, then let out a long sigh. Ever since Weiyis mother had the accident, I swore that I wouldnt partake in those nasty deeds I used to do. But The light in the study was exceedingly dim; he barely lifted his eyelids to look at the couple standing before him. His voice was as low as if it emerged from the underworld, saying, It would be quite easy for me to make someone disappear from this world without arousing any attention through just a few little tricks. Zhang Liya felt a chill creeping up her spine, she blinked her eyes and quickly clung to her husbands arm. ** Elsewhere. Due to Mo Weiyis insistence, they ended up at the hospital. The jade sculpture thrown by old Mr. Mo hit Yebai hard. The wound on Xiao Yebais forehead was quite long; it required five stitches and a gauze pad dressing. Mo Weiyi was beside herself with worry. As soon as his wound was dressed, she immediately said, Xiaobai, you should not go back to the old house alone in the future. Whats wrong? Xiao Yebais voice was faint. Youve been injured three times recently. Mo Weiyi looked at him, his previously flawless handsome face now marred by an unsightly gauze pad. The scar on his forehead was still visible, so it was like he had managed to get a new wound before the old one had healed. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelids to look at her, Are you worried? The young girls fine eyebrows furrowed, her lips pouted, her fair face was visibly distressed. Mo Weiyi nodded without hesitation, Of course, Im worried when Xiaobai gets hurt, just like how you worry about me when Im hurt. Xiao Yebai hooked his thin lips into a smile. But that smile was so superficial that even Mo Weiyi could tell something was off. However, she didnt overthink it and assumed he was still angry at his grandfather. She spoke softly, trying to console him, Alright, its just his bad temper, so it would be best if you avoid meeting him alone when Im not around, and dont provoke him. Right now, hes really no different from a tyrant, even my father and Uncle Shi cant control him. Xiao Yebai grunted an acknowledgment, and got up from his seat, Lets go. ** As the Bentley slowly exited the hospital, Old Lius car trailed behind them. Just as they were about to approach Lishui Bay, Mo Weiyi suddenly said, Xiaobai, can we stop by the flower shop near the gate? Xiao Yebai glanced at the gloomy sky, Its going to rain. Just for 10 minutes. I want to buy a bouquet of lilies. Aunt Jiang keeps buying me roses, and theyre ugly. Xiao Yebai remembered someone sending 999 roses for two consecutive days. His eyebrows twitched and then he said, Sure. They pulled up and parked in front of a flower shop just outside Lishui Bay. Mo Weiyi sat in her wheelchair while Old Liu pushed her inside to select flowers. Meanwhile, Xiao Yebai was on the sidewalk, making a call on his phone. Damn, youre already calling? Do you know Ive just finished an assignment? You little brat, you pretend to be harsh but youre clearly so concerned about me Help me look into something. Xiao Yebai unexpectedly interrupted. What the shit! You always want something from me! Did you know Im injured now? Im like a national grade one protected casualty, and yet you want me to work! Thats brutally cruel Where are you hurt? For once, Xiao Yebai expressed some concern. From the other end, there was a stuttered response; finally, Dont worry, its not fatal. Xiao Yebai did not think too much about it. While talking over the phone, he was watching the flower shop out of the corner of his eye. Sometime during his call, a young boy had appeared by Mo Weiyis wheelchair and they were chatting. After ending his call, he strode over. Dont bother with the change. Thank you, beautiful miss, youre such a nice person! The boy had an especially sweet mouth. He handed the bunch of flowers in his hands to Mo Weiyi, took the hundred-yuan bill, and hopped away cheerfully. The flowers were a bundle of white bellflowers. The small white buds were drooping, clearly wilted already. A stark contrast to the bunch of fresh lilies Old Liu was holding. Since when did you start liking these flowers? Having helped someone, Mo Weiyi was elated, her smile was sweet, Its about to rain soon. He said his mom would scold him if he failed to sell these flowers so I bought them. She looked down at the flowers in her arms, Well, even though they look a little wilted, when we put them in a vase back home, they should bloom, right? Xiao Yebais voice was disinterested, He was lying to you. Mo Weiyis smile froze on her face instantly, What do you mean? Xiao Yebai said, He is a relative of the owner of this flower shop and helps out every day. How did you know? Mo Weiyi stared at him in shock. I just happened to notice. Xiao Yebai said, Also, youve never bought flowers from this shop before. Mo Weiyi was left speechless. How could it be? But he said he was nine years old, why would a child his age work? And a hundred yuan, is it worth it? Mo Weiyi still couldnt believe it, The little boy kept calling me little sister so sweetly. Besides, its just a bunch of flowers. Is it necessary to lie? A hundred yuan. Xiao Yebai repeated these words, quietly laughed, This world, not everyone is that lucky. As he said these words, there was a mocking tone in his voice. The dark eyes behind his glasses seemed colder than usual. But soon enough, that emotion was masked. Xiao Yebai adjusted the wheelchair, his voice as calm as usual, Lets go.. Chapter 159 - Chapter 159:159, Eating Papaya is Good for Women Chapter 159:159, Eating Papaya is Good for Women Translator: 549690339 Mo Weiyi grabbed his wrist, No, I need to go ask that flower shop owner why he allowed a child to deceive me Forget it. Xiao Yebai just wheeled his chair towards the side of the road, Didnt you say it was only a hundred bucks? Yeah, but just because its a hundred bucks doesnt mean they can deliberately deceive me! They probably saw your fancy dress and, seeing theyd never met you before, got a little greedy. So, its my fault again? Mo Weiyi looked wronged. Is there something wrong with me dressing pretty? Didnt I do it just for you? Thats not what I meant. Xiao Yebai responded lightly. Mo Weiyi hummed, upset. She had only wanted to help but got inexplicably cheated in the process. Despite it not being a significant amount of money, it really affected her mood. When they got back to the villa, she didnt have the heart to arrange the flowers. She asked the servant to place them in a vase and then sat on the living room couch in a daze. Xiao Yebai had gone to his study. Until her phone suddenly rang. It was her grandmother, living in the south of the city, who called. The old lady was not in great health and kept to herself, but she seemed happy and said that shed got some fresh papayas for her. They should arrive later. Mo Weiyi reluctantly coughed a few times, glanced at the closed study door, and quietly said, Grandma, I dont think that will help. Grandma chuckled, Eating papaya is good for a womans body. Your body is too weak, you should nourish it. If you really want to develop your chest, youll have to wait until you get pregnant. You will get bigger whether you want to or not. Pregnancy. Pregnancy again. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and suddenly thought about the incident in the hospital bathroom a few days ago. It had happened so suddenly that Xiao Yebai didnt use protection. Afterward, she seemed to forget about taking meds. Although he had helped her clean up, but could there be any that slipped away? Mo Weiyi started to feel a little excited. If she really could get pregnant and have a baby, she hoped it would be a boy who looks just like Xiaobai. She would give him a good life from the moment he was born, and the most complete love. He wouldnt have to go through the hardships that Xiaobai had to suffer before he was fifteen. Yiyi. Grandmas voice sounded, Theres one more thing, your aunt came back. Really? Mo Weiyi arched a delicate eyebrow, not interested. She and her aunts family were not close, mainly because they had emigrated abroad a long time ago. When her mother passed away, her aunts family had come to inquire, but afterward there was nothing. She and Yunyao visited me today. The old lady chattered on. She has also had her fair share of struggles over the years, and now she divorced her husband. In a few days when the weathers better, Ill have your father call everyone for a get-together Well see. Mo Weiyi was still thinking about getting pregnant. She barely heard what her grandmother was saying. After finally ending the call, she hung up the phone and immediately yelled, Xiaobai, Xiaobai! The door to the study opened, and Xiao Yebai walked out, Whats wrong? Heehee. Mo Weiyi smiled slyly. Bring me that photo album. What photo album? The photo album I found in your room on my seventeenth birthday. It has pictures of you when you were young and also has pictures of your dad and mom. What do you need that for? Xiao Yebai asked indifferently. Just show it to me. Mo Weiyi cooed. She especially wanted to see what Xiaobai looked like when he was young. I cant find it. When I do, Ill show it to you. Xiao Yebais tone remained the same. Mo Weiyi pouted, How can you not find it? Isnt that a very important thing for you? She remembered that when she had peeked at it, she hadnt been able to see it clearly before Xiao Yebai had snatched it back from her. He had been so upset that he didnt talk to her for an entire week Of course, she was the one who was in the wrong first. It might have got lost during the move. After finishing his sentence, Xiao Yebai asked the servant coming out from the kitchen, Aunt Jiang, is dinner ready? Aunt Jiang was taken aback for a moment. Almost, theres only the soup left now. Itll be ready in a moment. Lets get ready for dinner. Xiao Yebai lifted Mo Weiyi up and went into the dining room. Aunt Jiang glanced at the clock. Um, she recalled Mr. Xiao had just mentioned to have dinner later when he entered the house, and now ** After dinner, Mo Weiyi returned to the living room. She wanted to read a book, but she couldnt find it anywhere. Aunt Jiang! Mo Weiyi called out, Wheres the book I left on the couch? It might have been picked up by Mr. Xiao and put in the study. Aunt Jiang rushed out of the kitchen, her hands still wet. Princess, let me get it for you. Forget it, you keep doing the dishes. Ill go myself. Xiao Yebai was outside on the balcony by the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a phone call. Mo Weiyi got up, leaning on her crutch, hobbling into the study. The study was usually used by Xiao Yebai. It had a simple black-and-white-grey design, with two walls filled with bookshelves filled with all sorts of books. The books on the higher shelves could only be reached with a ladder. But most of these books had already been read by Xiao Yebai! While marveling at her husbands extensive knowledge and unforgettable memory, Mo Weiyi ventured towards the bookshelf near the desk. The shelves here were filled with novels, comics, and art books, the only things shed usually read from these shelves, because she didnt understand the rest! She took the half-read detective novel and glanced around, noticing a retro plastic photo album on the top shelf next to her. Huh, wasnt that Xiaobais photo album? Silly Xiaobai, too busy with work to remember where he had left his photo album. She walked over, leaning on her crutch, and reached up to grab it with her left hand. The shelf was a little high, out of her reach. Just as Mo Weiyi was on her tiptoes, stretching her left foot in an attempt to touch the album, a voice suddenly interjected What are you doing? The sudden cold voice made her skin crawl. Her foot wobbled, and she lost balance in an instant. Ah! The pain she imagined didnt come. After her scream, her crutch fell to the ground, and she, fell into a familiar embrace. Due to gravity, Xiao Yebais body moved backward, slamming hard into the bookcase behind him. There was a loud bang, accompanied by the mans muffled groan. Mo Weiyi was still in shock, her first instinct was to clutch tight his arm. Are you okay? Xiao Yebai asked in a low voice. Mo Weiyi shook her head blankly. She was somewhat stunned. It was quite clear that he had rushed to catch her. If not, with her current condition, she might have hurt herself even more Mo Weiyi suddenly became deeply moved and heartbroken. Xiaobai had risked his own body to save her. She heard him collide with the bookcase just now. The impact mustve been painful. She glanced back and saw a corner of the bookcase protruding, right at his waist level. Xiaobai, did you injure your waist? Mo Weiyi asked in a hurry. Before Xiao Yebai could answer, Mo Weiyi was already panicking and calling for help. Aunt Jiang, Aunt Jiang, come quick, please! The maid hurried into the study, Princess, what happened? Xiaobai injured his waist. Call an ambulance, dial 120! Xiao Yebai: Aunt Jiang was also shocked. 120? Princess, are you sure? No need. Xiao Yebai finally spoke in a low voice, Its not necessary. But you hurt your waist. Mo Weiyis face full of worry, Isnt it said the waist is essential for men? Xiao Yebai again: Aunt Jiang: Cough, cough, cough. Expecting the young couple to discuss something inappropriate, she hurriedly suggested, Ill find some medicinal oil for injuries, it will be much better if we rub some on Sir Xiao. When Aunt Jiang left, Xiao Yebai in a calm voice said, Youve hurt your foot, dont wander around. If you need something, let the maid assist you when Im not around. Mo Weiyi nodded quickly. At the moment, she had completely forgotten the detective novel and the photo album when she leaned on her crutch and hurriedly said, Xiaobai, turn around. I need to check you first. I said, Im fine. No, I need to see. How could he always be okay after everything, and endure so much pain? Seeing her insistence, Xiao Yebais eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned around. Mo Weiyi quickly pulled out his shirt from his suit pants and nudged it further, revealing the mans robust back. However, she couldnt make out if anything was wrong. She glanced at the man, then cautiously reached out her small hand to test, asking, Xiaobai, does it hurt here? How about here? And here? Chapter 160 - Chapter 16o: 16o, a big bag of papayas Chapter 16o: 16o, a big bag of papayas Translator: 549690339 Left side. Right side. The young girls fingers are soft and slender, carrying a hint of coolness. Xiaobai? Does this hurt? Xiaobai? Xiaobai? Under her soft questioning, Xiao Yebai pursed his lips and uttered two words, Not painful. He reached out to pull down his shirt, but Mo Weiyi brushed his hand away, Then how about this, does it feel better? Xiaobai Xiao Yebai: * * * Living room, Aunt Jiang finally found the medicinal oil. As she was approaching, she heard a flirtatious conversation from the half-closed room: Xiaobai, your waist Its fine. Are you sure its not bothering you? Auntie Jiang blushed and quickly turned around, swiftly packing up her things and leaving work at a hundred-metre sprint speed. Almost simultaneously as her departure, the door of the study was slammed shut. * * * The next morning. Mo Weiyi, half asleep, heard the man say, Im going to the office. Mmm After you get up, remember to take your medicine. Xiao Yebai said, placing two small pills on the bedside table. I know. Mo Weiyi pouted. Although she really disliked taking this kind of medicine. Every time she took it she felt uncomfortable, sometimes it would even make her head dizzy for no apparent reason. Xiao Yebai put on his tie, slipped into his suit, and quickly left. Mo Weiyi lazily pretended to sleep in bed until the maid came to work. Then she got up, washed up, and chose her clothes for the day. Leaving the room, she eyed the two tablets on the bedside table. A few seconds later, she reached out and threw them directly into the trash can. Forget it. Pregnancy is better left to nature. Besides, the doctor told her that taking this kind of thing too often is not good for ones health, it can have side effects. And shes not easily susceptive to getting pregnant anyway. Right. Highly justified! Downstairs, Aunt Jiang was washing the papayas that were delivered last night. Mo Weiyi looked at her, raised her little hand and began giving orders, Aunt Jiang, can you divide the papayas into three parts? Later Ill give you an address, you can send one part there. The other part you take home and eat yourself, theres too much, I cant finish it all by myself. Thank you, princess. Aunt Jiang was naturally ecstatic. Mo Weiyi smiled. Aunt Jiang was a local from Nancheng and had only been hired after she moved into this villa after her marriage. Although not an old maid of the Mo family, she was solid and competent, and trusted by Mo Weiyi who helped her whenever she could. The wages she offered Jiang were much higher than those of the average maid. * * Nancheng University. Su Wanwan finished two journalism classes and was stopped by the dormitory caretaker as she returned to her dormitory. Youre Su Wanwan, right? Someone delivered some fruit for you. Fruit? Su Wanwan went over, only to finda large bag of papayas. Oh my god. Mo Xiaose really overdid it. There were so many papayas, she wouldnt be able to finish them all by herself. And theyre supposed to be good for your health, since when did she, Su Wanwan, need to replenish her health with papayas? Returning to her dorm room, she had just put down the papayas when her cell phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, she couldnt help but frown. Indeed, as soon as she picked up, she heard Su Yuntangs cursing, You wretch, come to the hospital now! Right away, immediately, get over here! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, For what? Your precious daughter wants to frame me for pushing her down the stairs again? Whether its framing or not, you know in your heart! Give you half an hour, if you dont come, I will personally come to find you! After finishing, Su Yuntang hung up the phone harshly. Su Wanwan: * * Half an hour later. Su Wanwan walked into the ward, and as she pushed open the door, she saw a room filled with groaning people. Not only were Su Yuntang and Jiang Yi present, but also the entire Xing family, including Old Master Xing and Old Madam Xing, even Su Xueqin was there. Of course. Su Yanyan suddenly lost her baby, how could the Xing family let it go easily? Sure enough, as soon as they saw her, everyones faces expressed about the same level of anger. Su Yuntang blurted out in a stream of curses, Disgraceful creature! A magazine flew towards her face. Su Wanwan quickly raised her hand to block it. The magazine struck her arm, then fell to the ground, followed by a stream of abusive words from Su Yuntang. I thought you would behave better after getting married, but youre still such a scoundrel! You dont know how to stay clean at all! All you do is shamelessly mess around with men! Having raised such a disaster like you, I, Su Yuntang, have truly encountered great misfortune! Su Wanwan picked up the magazine that had fallen to the floor. Again, it was that sensational Entertainment Weekly. This time the headline read: [Young actor Ye Qitian has private meetup in bar with girlfriend! Insider reveals girlfriends mysterious background!] Chapter 161 - Chapter 161:161, trapped in a deadlock Chapter 161:161, trapped in a deadlock Translator: 549690339 | Su Wanwans temples throbbing violently. Were these reporters out of their mind? They made a spectacle out of a few random photos. Just as she was about to look over the content, Su Yuntangs voice once again reverberated through the room, Just yesterday you dared to claim Su Yanyan was accusing you wrongly, but now, your misdeeds are plastered all over the newspapers, what do you have to say now? Su Wanwan snapped her head up, What do you mean by that, Dad? Su Yuntang sneered, Disturbingly obscene photos of you have surfaced. Yesterday, in an attempt to destroy the evidence, you pushed Yanyan down the stairs. Are you still planning to shirk responsibility? Su Wanwan nearly laughed, Did Su Yanyan tell you all this? She looked at Su Yanyan. Weary and weak, she sat about the bed, clothed in hospital gowns, her porcelain face, bereft of makeup, was a fragile, pitiful sight in her long black hairs contrast. Jiang Yi, Huo Qinyu, and even Mrs. Xing were at her bedside, providing an attentive care befitting the roles of famous personages. Did she need to mention it? Su Yuntang bellowed, Your scandal is publicized in the papers, clear-cut evidence! Su Wanwan inhaled deeply and began to explain, Ye Qitian is merely a good friend. He had just arrived at Nancheng. We merely went drinking that evening Sheer nonsense! Su Yuntang impatiently interjected, I already called your school in Los Angeles, and the Principal himself stated that Ye Qitian was your boyfriend. If you two are inseparable, who are you trying to deceive? You believe just anyones words, so why wont you believe mine? Su Wanwan couldnt help but retort, Ever since I was a child, no matter what happens, youd always come to me without investigating anything, always blaming me! Dad, am I really your biological daughter? Even if you favor her, you cant be this excessive! As she was feeling so angry, her emotions were a bit unstable, and her voice grew increasingly loud. Actually, this was the first time she asked Su Yuntang this question. Being confronted in front of everyone, Su Yuntang was taken aback, and after much contemplation, he finally responded stiffly, If you had not been secretly rendezvousing with another man behind your husbands back and got caught camera Why dont you think about this then? Since these pictures were taken by Jian Xiaoman and theyre in her phone, who else could have provided them to the reporters? Shes close with Su Yanyan, what is their purpose? Youre a media professional too, dont you have any doubts? Wanwan, Su Xueqin, who was sitting nearby, suddenly interjected, This time, you really went too far. Su Wanwan froze. She turned to face Su Xueqin, Grandpa, you dont believe me either? Its not that I dont believe you. Su Xueqin sighed weakly, Regardless, your sister is pregnant. Regardless of whether the whole incident is true or not, you shouldnt have directly confronted her, risking injury to the child I told you that I didnt push her! Su Wanwan suddenly raised her voice, but was drowned out by a sharper voice. Grandpa! It was Su Yanyan. I really didnt know about the news. From yesterday till now, Ive been in the hospital. It might have been Xiaomans impulsive decision to contact the reporters. After saying that, she started crying, Dr. Zhou just informed me that Ive lost the baby. I suffered a great deal of damage, and I might might never be able to have children again. Mrs. Xing was quick to comfort her, Dont cry, Yanyan. Its not your fault, its just perhaps it wasnt meant to be for this child and the Xing Family. Yeah, with the advancements in medical technology today, theres always a chance to have children in the future. Jiang Yi also offered words of comfort. Good girl, dont cry, Huo Qinyu also chimed in with soothing words. Su Wanwan watched them without uttering a word, feeling sudden regret. She really shouldnt have come to the hospital today. Obviously, everyone set a trap for her. Outnumbered and outflanked, there was both eyewitness and physical evidence. Even Su Xueqin took Su Yanyans side this time She had walked into a dead-end! Xueqin. Elder Xing turned his piercing gaze toward Su Xueqin, exerting an intangible pressure, How do you plan to handle this matter? Su Xueqins grip on the wheelchair tightened as he called out sternly, Wanwan, in the presence of both families elders, lower your head and admit your mistakes to Elder Xing I didnt do anything wrong. Su Wanwan cut him off sharply, I didnt push Su Yanyan at all. Why should I take the blame for her miscarriage? Despite the current situation, you still refuse to admit your mistake and apologize? Su Xueqins voice trembled with anger. Regardless of the authenticity of the newspaper report, the fact of Su Yanyans miscarriage is undeniable. The two granddaughters have been at odds since childhood. An accident could happen when the two quarrel, and he wanted to give her a way out. After all, this matter pertains to a life, how could the Xing family let it go so easily without doing anything? Elder Xing was clearly displeased with Su Wanwans attitude as well.. He coldly snorted and declared, Xueqin, your granddaughter, does she think that by marrying into the Huo Family, she can look down upon our Xing family? She committed a mistake and is still shouting here, what an attitude! Chapter 162 - Chapter 162:162, Boss Huo’s divine arrival Chapter 162:162, Boss Huos divine arrival Translator: 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, come over here. Su Wanwan looked at him. A few seconds later, 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 played a role in this incident, and you carry some responsibility. If you still consider me your grandfather and are willing to listen to me, I command 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 into laughter. 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 isolated island at the moment, with the people in this room representing the surging tides all around, clamoring, 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 clang. The sudden sound startled Su Yanyan into screaming. Then, a familiar yet deep male voice rang out, Sorry, babe, Im late. When Su Wanwan looked up, she saw Huo Jingshen standing at the door. He was dressed in a crisply tailored black 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 black leather shoes. At this moment, he was the picture of elegance, acting as if the kick that had just taken place 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! The commotion 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 to come 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 blatant nonchalance and righteousness. The crowd was speechless:. Chapter 163 - Chapter 163:163, Mr. Huo’s little girl has been wronged. Chapter 163:163, Mr. Huos little girl has been wronged. Translator: 549690339 Having finished speaking, Huo Jingshen strode over to Su Wanwan. His sharp gaze quickly swept over her from top to bottom. Then he placed his hand on her shoulder, asking softly, Are you alright? Su Wanwan just kept looking at him. In fact, from the moment he entered the room, her eyes had never strayed from his face. She was surprised. Astonished. And slightly flabbergasted. She really didnt expect him to come. Even earlier, when she felt most alone and helpless, she hadnt considered he might come. But at this moment, when he really did burst through the door and stand before her, like a god descended from the heavens, his deep, dark eyes filled with care and warmth as he looked at her It was as if someone tore a hole in her heart, and something seeped in, causing an achy pain. Her nose felt sour, and her eyes began to ache as well. She suddenly dropped her head, sniffing, then opened her eyes wide, forcing the suspicion welling up in them to evaporate. Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, and his hand on her shoulder tightened. The little girl was being wronged. Usually, she was always making a fuss, arguing with everything and everyone. When has she ever felt so wronged before? Looking up, his voice turned noticeably colder, Before the facts are clear, the older generation here has been overwhelming the younger, taking advantage, isnt it a bit improper? His gaze slowly swept over everyones faces, pausing briefly at the hospital bed, his glare sharp and icy. Su Yanyan felt a jolt in her heart and couldnt stop shaking. But she quickly reassured herself. What was there to be scared of? What could Huo Jingshen do after coming here? The fact that Su Wanwan pushed her down the stairs resulting in the loss of her child was irrefutable! Ashen. Huo Qinyu, who had remained neutral, finally spoke, The child in Yanyans belly suddenly disappeared. The elders are just acting hastily because they cant accept it, so they summoned Wanwan Even under the law, the convicted have the right to a lawyer, to voice appeals, and defend themselves. They do not stand here, outnumbered, and speechless., Huo Jingshens voice was low, cold and serious. His words were clearly laden with accusations. Huo Qinyu was immediately struck dumb. After all, Su Wanwan had come alone today, and compared to everyone else in the room, it did look like they were collectively bullying her Huo Jingshen continued, I will not cover up for my wife, but, I hope all the elders can find out the truth. Having said that, he looked toward the door, Come in. At his command, the crowd in the hallway began to file into the room. Leading the group was Mingzhu, Ye Qitian, and Nangong Ci, followed by a few others. One had a microphone, and another carried a camera, looking like a journalist. Seeing Su Wanwan, Ye Qitians eyes lit up, Little junior sister! He wanted to rush over, but Mingzhu held him back. Humph. Su Yuntang couldnt help but snort, You say were bullying the fewer with the many, what do you mean by this, Mr. Huo? Good grief, there were even more people who came to back him up than were originally in the room! Who was he trying to intimidate with such a show of force? Huo Jingshen glanced at him then turned to Ye Qitian. With a nod, he signaled him. Whod have thought Ye Qitian would snort and turn his head petulantly. He didnt want to speak. This brat! Mingzhu took advantage of her grip to give him a good pinch. Yikes Under his aunties domineering presence, Ye Qitian immediately recited as quickly as if he was reading from a textbook, My name is Ye Qitian. Im an artist under Huanyu Media, and Im Wanwans senior from Los Angeles. Were just friends. That day we just went to the bar for drinks, and I sent her home a little past nine. That is the end of my explanation. After speaking, everyones expressions didnt seem to have changed much. Mingzhu laughed and added, What you may not know is that Qitian is my nephew, so from a generational perspective, he should actually be calling Wanwan sister-in-law. Sister-in-law? This time, not only Su Wanwan, but everyone else was taken aback. Ye Qitian was even more frustrated. After the magazine incident was exposed, he didnt take it seriously; his agency was even happy about it. After all, a newly-signed artist could make it to the cover of Entertainment Weekly. It was like a side promotion to boost his popularity! Unexpectedly, his mother in Los Angeles suddenly called him out of the blue. He found out that his junior sisters husband was his aunts nephew, meaning according to generations and age, he had to call Huo Jingshen his big brother and his junior sister, his sister-in-law. Damn it! His poor first love was nipped in the bud even before it had a chance to sprout! Not only that, but Huo Jingshen invited Mingzhu over to explain things and even brought in several key persons from his company, including the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly. The motive of Sima Zhao is plain for all to see! It was clear that they wanted to cut off his retreat! Mingzhu was still explaining, My sisters family emigrated early. Qitian has been living in Los Angeles for many years, so its understandable that the older generations are not clear about these connections. However, with the magazine incident and the rumors, my sister was really upset, so she specifically asked me to come and clarify in front of the press and staff of Huanyu Media. We hope there wont be any more misunderstandings. Except for the Su and Xing families, everyone else immediately nodded, expressing their understanding. Even if what happened in the magazine was a misunderstanding. The voice of old master Xing suddenly rang out, My daughter-in-law lost her child because of Wanwan. Surely, this incident cant also be a misunderstanding, right? Huo Jingshen said, For this matter, it would be more direct to ask the person involved. After saying this, he looked at Su Yanyan. Miss Su, about the pregnancy, would you like to admit it yourself, or shall we let Dr. Zhou explain it? Upon hearing this, everyones expressions were somewhat puzzled. Su Yanyan, however, instantly panicked. Even her voice was trembling, Whatwhat do you mean by that? Jiang Yi immediately stood up, striving to stay calm. Mr. Huo, my daughter recently had a miscarriage. Naturally, Dr. Zhou is aware of this. Really? Huo Jingshen slightly raised his thin lips, Ashen, when did Dr. Zhou arrive? Upon hearing this nickname, Nangong Cis handsome face twitched uncontrollably. Good grief, cant they just be good friends in peace anymore? Calling him mistress in front of so many people? Did he, the deputy dean, not care about his dignity at all? Huo Jingshen cast a cold glance at him. Nangong Ci immediately surrendered, Alright. She is here. With a disapproving click of his tongue, he turned aside, allowing Dr. Zhou to walk in. Under everyones watchful eyes, Dr. Zhou walked in with her head down, trembling slightly. My name is Zhou Rong. Im an OB-GYN here and also Miss Sus attending physician. Actually, Miss Su was not pregnant at all Youre talking nonsense! Su Yanyan screamed to interrupt her, Youre lying. I was pregnant. I really was! Youre lying Jiang Yis eyes widened, her face deathly pale. She never imagined Dr. Zhou would suddenly confess! Before she could react, Dr. Zhou continued, Jiang Yi and I were high school classmates. Two months ago, she asked me to make a fake pregnancy test for Miss Su. I didnt think much of it at the time, decided to help an old classmate out. I never thought it would escalate to this point. Im at fault. I messed up. Im willing to bear all the consequences and resign from the hospital. Im sorry. After she finished, she gave everyone a bow, I swear to God, everything I said is true. Im sorry. The hospital room instantly became ominously quiet. All the elders in the room were too shocked to speak. Especially Su Xueqin; he couldnt believe his own ears. Su Yanyan faked her pregnancy? How was that possible? Just before, he had slapped Wanwan for the first time, for her, for the child she had supposedly lost Yanyan! Su Yuntang was the first to react, sternly questioning, You, tell us, is what Dr. Zhou said true or not? Su Yanyans face was already deathly pale. With her lies exposed, she was panicked and afraid and for a moment, was unable to utter a word. Jiang Yi! Su Yuntang turned to his wife, You tell us! I Jiang Yi was also panicking. The incident happened too suddenly; she hadnt had time to think of how to respond. So, staying quiet means admitting it, right? Nangong Cis voice sounded out carelessly. Su Yanyan recoiled as if awoken from a dream, No, its not true. Shes lying to you! Then, she suddenly pointed at Su Wanwan, Its her! It must be her! She intentionally asked Huo Jingshen to come over. Their relationship with this deputy dean is good.. They must have conspired to frame me! Yes, it must be that way! They did it on purpose! Chapter 164 - Chapter 164:164, not crying until seeing the coffin! Chapter 164:164, not crying until seeing the coffin! Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan looked at her coldly as if she were watching a ridiculous clown. Su Yanyan, you were adamant before that, I intentionally pushed you down the stairs which caused a miscarriage. If I knew you faked your pregnancy, why would I even stand here and allow you to accuse me unjustly! I Su Yanyan was left speechless. My sister-in-law is absolutely correct, Nangong Ci praised, looking serious, It seems that some people only realize their mistakes when confronted with solid evidence! Thats why I had everything investigated yesterday. He grinned slightly, In order to deceive everyone, at the emergency room, Miss Su had only one doctor, Dr. Zhou, to perform the examination. It didnt even last for half an hour and none of the equipment was turned on. There were no signs of usage. After that, I had my secretary check Miss Sus pregnancy files. Guess what we found? Nangong Ci raised his eyebrow, the secretary who was waiting on the side immediately handed over two sets of data. Mr. Xing, please take a look at these two files. Apart from the names and ages, the other records on them are exactly the same. In order to save time, everytime Dr. Zhou prepares pregnancy files for Miss Su, she directly copies them from her other pregnant patients. Mr. Xing took the files and examined them carefully. But after only looking at two of them, he threw them on the ground in anger with a flushed face and roared, Scoundrel! Have you got anything to say? Scared by the roar, Su Yanyan began shivering. !!.. The Xing Family has treated you so well, yet you you the old man from the Xing Family was so furious that he felt his blood pressure surging and couldnt finish his sentence. Grandfather, Su Yanyan finally regained her senses, dont get tricked by them Denying guilt in the face of undeniable evidence! the grandfather from Xing family slammed his cane on the ground. Yanyan clenched her teeth, she had no choice but to defend herself, Im not lying, I really did get pregnant, the child is Yun brothers, I showed you the ultrasound photo, have you forgotten? Have all of you forgotten! Dr. Zhou is the one lying, you must not believe her, she falsified the medical records Dr. Zhou hastily said, Miss Su, just admit it, I already confessed everything Shut up! You rotten liar, why are you doing this to me? Su Yanyan screeched like a mad woman, Did the Huo family bribe you! How much money did they give you, tell me! How much I really didnt take any bribe Then you must have been colluding with Su Wanwan! I didnt Youre talking nonsense! Enough, Huo Jingshen impatiently interrupted, Lets leave it to the hospital to determine whether or not Miss Su was ever pregnant. Brother is absolutely right. Nangong Ci continued to flatter, then he turned to Dr. Wang who was standing nearby, Dr. Wang here is our hospitals most authoritative Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Wang, please check Miss Sus body to determine if she has ever been pregnant or had a miscarriage. Su Yanyan never expected Nangong Ci to have another card up his sleeve. Her eyes bulged with fear, when the female doctor approached her, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at her, Why should I let you examine me? The baby is already lost, its no longer inside me. Theres nothing an examination would show, youre all doing this on purpose! Nangong Ci clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly, Miss Su, are you truly ignorant or are you pretending to be a fool? Right from the start, she is always screaming and attempting to shirk responsibility. She doesnt even have the slightest sense of medical knowledge! Miss Su. Dr. Wang looked speechless, I have been an obstetrician for thirty years and have extensive clinical surgery experience. If you were indeed pregnant for three months and had a miscarriage yesterday, all we need to do is check you down there. Check down there? Here? In front of all these strangers and reporters? Su Yanyan shook her head violently. No, she could not withstand such a humiliation. More importantly, she didnt have a miscarriage, there was no bleeding I wont do it, I wont! Su Yanyan shouted frantically. Miss Su is so reluctant to have an examination, is it because she has something to hide? Nangong Ci seized the opportunity to add insult to injury. Su Yanyan seemed as if she hadnt heard him and kept shaking her head, repeating I wont have the examination, I wont have the examination. Nangong Ci signaled with his eyes. Dr. Wang quickly approached the bed to reach for Su Yanyans legs Aaaaaaaaaaah! Like a madwoman, Su Yanyan screamed and avoided her, falling off the bed with a loud thud. Yanyan! Jiang Yi rushed over. Mom, I wont do the examination, I dont want to do it, mom! Su Yanyan wrapped her arms around Jiang Yi, trembling all over, unable to stop crying. Nangong Ci assumed the directors attitude. Ah, Miss Su, you really dont have to be so scared. Dr. Wang is a female doctor and very professional, plus theres a curtain for privacy. If you still dont want to He ordered, Dr. Wang, please take Miss Su for an ultrasound. No! I wont do it! I wont do anything! Su Yanyan looked up with tear streaked face. So what does Miss Su intend to do? Nangong Ci asked persuasively. I I was never pregnant. Su Yanyan finally admitted, crying.. Chapter 165 - Chapter 165:165, the seemingly wilted old fellow, Boss Chapter 165:165, the seemingly wilted old fellow, Boss Huo Translator: 549690339 Bastard! Su Yuntang strode over, raised his hand, and slapped her directly. Su Yanyan was knocked to the ground by the blow. However, she dared not cry out in pain. She quickly crawled back, clutching Su Yuntangs pants, sobbing, Dad, I didnt mean to I just love Yun Gege so much II Still talking! Su Yuntang slapped her again, Is this your excuse for deceiving people? Ah! He was extremely angry. Apart from that, he felt immense disappointment! All along, he had been raising Su Yanyan, who he thought was his most praiseworthy daughter. !!.. She was excellent in both academics and character, intelligent and sensible, slightly pampered maybe, but otherwise without any noticeable faults. But now, he felt as if he didnt know this daughter of his anymore Just to get married to Xing Yuyun, she even pretended to be pregnant! And she concealed this lie for such a long time from everyone! Yanyan, why did you do this? Su Xueqin asked in a deep voice. Although he had never been very fond of this granddaughter, he was quite pleased when he heard about her supposed pregnancy. After the accident, he chose to stand by her side without any hesitation, but he hadnt expected Yanyan, youve really disappointed me, Huo Qinyu said, deeply hurt. Ever since she learned that Yanyan was pregnant, she, as a mother-in-law, had gone out of her way to care for her. She had even personally cooked nourishing soups and bought all kinds of products for pregnant women She had truly broken her heart for this daughter-in-law! When the child was lost, she didnt have time to grieve for herself. The first thing she did was to make a comforting soup and bring it to the hospital for her daughter-in-law Sigh, the old lady Xing sighed heavily, I cant believe that I, along with Lord Xing, were deceived by a little girl after living for over seventy years. Su Yuntang, feeling guilty, was about to speak So young, and yet so scheming; truly horrifying! Su Yuntang sharply looked at Old Master Xing, having a bad premonition about what he was about to say. Sure enough, Old Master Xing continued, At that time, if it werent for her sudden pregnancy, I wouldnt have forced Yuyun to hurry up and get married. Old Master, what do you mean by that? Jiang Yi couldnt help but interject. What do I mean? Old Master Xing sneered, I want to ask you, what exactly are you and your daughter trying to do? Are you treating the people of the Xing family like fools? Jiang Yi knelt on the ground with flushed embarrassment, Old Master, Old Madam, you are parents as well. You should understand my feelings. Yanyan is my daughter, and I just wanted her to be happy. We really didnt mean to deceive you For your daughters happiness, you would even resort to such egregious actions? Old Master Xing pointed to Su Wanwan, Your actions are not simply deceitful, they are aimed to harm others! And you dare say it wasnt intentional? I think you planned it all along! You were conspiring! If the hospital hadnt started an investigation, would I have been your target today? Su Yuntang stepped forward, Father-in-law Dont address me as your father-in-law, Im not! Old Master Xing, his face turning blue with anger, said and then looked at Su Xueqin, Xueqin, take this granddaughter of yours back home and discipline her. This granddaughter-in-law is someone our Xing family cannot afford to have. This marriage theres no need to continue it anymore! Upon hearing those words, Su Yanyan suddenly let out a pained cry. Jiang Yi knelt beside her, her head lowered, her teeth almost breaking her lips, but she still couldnt figure out what she could do to make amends. What to do? What could be done? Old Master Xing was known for his uncompromising nature, and now they had crashed head-on against his unbending pride. The reporters on the other side were still frantically filming everything. Surprisingly, they were initially called over to clarify reports from earlier, but no one expected to witness such family drama in this wealthy household- this was more exciting than a soap opera! After a period of deadlock, Su Xueqins aged voice resonated from his wheelchair, Its my fault. I, Su Xueqin, old and senile, failed in my upbringing. Todays events should be blamed on the Su family. I will take Yanyan back Slap! Suddenly, a loud slap interrupted Su Xueqins words. Su Yanyan covered her already swollen left cheek, eyes wide in disbelief as she looked at Jiang Yi, Mom Yanyan, kneel down! Jiang Yis voice was stern and fierce. Mom, why did you hit me? Su Yanyan couldnt understand. Even at this moment, she wasnt standing by her side? I told you to kneel down. Have your ears gone deaf? Didnt you hear me? Jiang Yis face was filled with an unprecedented anger. Having said that, she lifted her right hand and another slap fell. Su Yanyan was both in pain and feeling wronged. She hysterically yelled out, Mom, you have no right to hit me. You agreed Ah! Before she could finish, the third slap landed on her face. Three consecutive slaps on the same side of her face, plus the two slaps she received from Su Yuntang earlier, had left Su Yanyans face horribly swollen. Her mouth was also bleeding, and mixed with her tears, the sight was terrifying. Mum Slap! Jiang Yi seemed to have made up her mind and landed another clear slap on Su Yanyans face. Such a violent and bloody scene had left everyone on the scene dumbfounded. Su Yuntang was particularly shocked. For the first time, he saw his usually gentle wife hitting so hard! In the corner, Huo Jingshen stood quietly, watching the dramatic scene unfold before his eyes. Suddenly, his brow lifted subtly as he turned to look at Nangong Ci.. Chapter 166 - Chapter 166:166, the best in White Lotus! Chapter 166:166, the best in White Lotus! Translator: 549690339 Nangong Cis eyes were steady. Holy shit, what kind of look was that? He looks so innocent yet so sly! What evil idea is this old guy thinking of now? His dark eyes squinted heavily, before he could react, Huo Jingshen had already withdrawn his gaze. It all happened in less than five seconds. Nangong Ci: Okay then. He coughed twice, crooked his finger, and the secretary immediately walked over. Nangong Ci lowered his head, murmured a few words into the secretarys ear and the secretary quietly left after receiving the instructions. !!.. Inside the sickroom, the Xing Family elders were initially very angry. However when they saw how hard Jiang Yi slapped her daughter, each slap harder than the previous one Slowly, their expressions began to subtly change. Finally, Huo Qinyu couldnt bear it any longer and rushed over, Stop it already, she has already been injured, dont hit her anymore! Xing Guozhi also tried to intervene, Yes, although Yanyan did something wrong, but No! Jiang Yi interrupted abruptly. Actually, the main person who should be blamed for this is me. I spoiled her too much! She tightly clenched her right hand. After Slapping so many times, the palm of her hand had already become numb with pain. But This is not enough! Jiang Yi gritted her teeth, and under everyones gaze, suddenly raised her right hand and viciously slapped her own right cheek. With a loud, crisp slap, she had only caught everyones attention when she had already raised her other hand and viciously slapped her other cheek. After two consecutive slaps, the swollen prints of her palms rapidly emerged on her cheeks. One could tell from this how hard she had struck. Su Wanwan felt a sharp pain just listening to the sound. Such ruthless self-punishment Very harsh! The others were obviously stunned as well. Jiang Yi explained with great sorrow, Originally, because Yuyun wanted to cancel the engagement, Yanyan was very upset. She cried every day, even contemplated ending her lifeI had no choice but to suggest she pretend to be pregnant. I thought it would be easy to get pregnant after marriage, but then Yuyun was suddenly injured and admitted to the hospital As she spoke, tears were already flowing down her face. I have only this one daughter, and she has been spoiled since she was a child. I tried to give her the best education and life possible. But I didnt realize that excessive indulgence would harm her. Todays incident, Yanyan is in the wrong. Her fault isshe is too fond of Yuyun. She cant live without Yuyun! She looked at Su Yanyan, Yanyan, kneel down now and apologize to your Grandpa Xing, Grandma Xing, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Admit your mistake and promise that it will never happen again! Su Yanyan finally understood Jiang Yis intention. She endured the pain on her face, and with a plop, she knelt on the ground and started apologizing through her tears. I was wrong, grandpa, grandma dad, mom, I was really wrong. I shouldnt have pretended to be pregnant to deceive you, and even more, I shouldnt have intentionally said that my sister pushed me but, could you please not separate me from Yuyun? We truly love each other. I swear, I will be a good daughter-in-law to the Xing family and I cant live without Yuyun ah Old man, old lady, Yanyan is only eighteen years old. She made a mistake due to confusionshow me the child who never makes a mistake! If you must blame someone, blame me. It was because of my spoiling that she didnt realize the gravity of her mistake! Jiang Yi, kneeling beside her, sobbed. However you want to punish me, its fine. But really, its better to destroy ten temples than to sever a relationship! There was an absolute silence on the scene. Nangong Ci was taken aback. Holy shit! This Jiang Yi is really amazing! Her act of playing the victim, has turned the situation around completely Su Yanyan, who was initially portrayed as a deceptive and evil woman, is now seen as a naive girl deeply in love. In this way, no matter how angry the Xing family elders are, they have to consider Xing Yuyuns feelings and cant forcibly break up this marriage. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he suddenly felt that it wasnt easy for his sister-in-law to grow up safely in such a family. This mother and daughter pair is simply the ultimate white lotus! Shes quite formidable! No wonder she, with her ordinary looks and common background, could marry Su Yuntang. How else could she successfully join our ranks without certain methods and intelligence? Enough! Everyone, stop crying! Mr. Xing, the old man, finally spoke, putting an end to the weeping throughout the house. He said, If youve done wrong, admit it. If youre punished, stand tall! Regardless of the reasons behind it, its undeniable that Yanyan has made mistakes and attempted to frame others. As for her marriage with Yuyun He sighed, Yuyun is now I m here. A low male voice suddenly resonated. Old Mr. Xing was taken aback. Nangong Ci shot a couple of suggestive glances at Huo Jingshen. Well? Brother, am I not efficient? Huo Jingshen returned his gaze impassively. Nangong Ci: Hehe, maintaining a cold persona in front of outsiders is pretty solid! The reporters and staff have already stepped aside, making way for the man outside to enter. Hes still wearing hospital clothes. His face looks haggard after days of injuries, and his body has become noticeably thinner. When the wind blows, his overly large hospital gown seems as if it could be carried away by the wind. But his expression is cold, especially those eyes, which seem to hold a layer of frost. Su Yanyan, meeting his gaze, was so frightened that her heart missed a beat and she became flustered. Jiang Yis vision went black. How could this be? We were just one step away from success. Why would Xing Yuyun suddenly show up? Huo Qinyu quickly stepped forward to support her son, Yuyun, why did you come here? Xing Yuyun straightforwardly stated a few words: I want a divorce. With a bang sound, Jiang Yi felt as if her mind had exploded, and she had to support herself with her hands to keep from falling. But Su Yanyan wasnt nearly as strong; she collapsed on the spot, shaking uncontrollably with fear and panic. The next second, Yanyan crawled over to Xing Yuyun like a madwoman, reaching out her hands to tightly clutch his legs, crying, Brother Yun 1beg you not to divorce me. I really love you, Brother Yun, please dont divorce me Brother Yun Xing Yuyun stood there, closed his eyes, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, kicked her away. Ah! Su Yanyan let out a terrible scream, as her entire body was kicked backward and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while. Yanyan! Jiang Yi rushed over hurriedly. Though Xing Yuyun was injured, he was still a grown man. He hadnt held back when he kicked her. When she saw her daughter clutching her stomach in agonizing pain, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat Jiang Yi turned abruptly, anger burning in her voice, Yuyun, must you be so cruel? Cant we have a civilized conversation? This is the mess she has forced me into! Xing Yuyun roared angrily, coughing violently as his wound was agitated. Huo Qinyus heart ached instantly, and she quickly moved to support her son, Yuyun, calm down, watch your injury. Fine, let me take it slow, now that were at it, lets just air out all the dirty laundry! Xing Yuyun clasped his chest, took a deep breath, and then delved into the story, one painstaking word at a time. The day I turned 17, she drugged my drink, deliberately seducing me into bed. Later, she had someone secretly take pictures of us together, pretending they were illicitly obtained by a paparazzi, and sent them to the Su family to coerce my uncle into agreeing to our engagement. I was wrong, Brother Yun. Please stop, Brother Yun. Su Yanyan wept and tried to interrupt, but Xing Yuyun gave a cold laugh and relentlessly continued. I had hoped that after the wedding, youd at least behave yourself, so I could turn a blind eye. I thought Id just ended up with a pretty, yet empty-headed wife. But boy, was I wrong! You created a scene at the wedding, shamed us publicly, and now you dare to fake a miscarriage to frame Wanwan? How many more times are you going to stoop to such lowly strategies? Will you always play the victim every time you mess up? Or play innocent? Do you think everyone is a fool? If it werent for the child you were carrying last time, do you think I would have tolerated you? Having finally vented it all, Xing Yuyun, his eyes bloodshot, repeated once more, Divorce! I want a divorce, right now! Yuyun. Huo Qinyu looked at her son with a troubled heart, Why didnt you say all this earlier? You child. The old Mrs.. Xing also sighed with frustration, Why didnt you confide in us about all of this sooner? Do you see us as unreasonable elders? Chapter 167 - Chapter 167:167, domineering aunt, backing up for Wanwan! Chapter 167:167, domineering aunt, backing up for Wanwan! Translator: 549690339 Su Yuntang couldnt believe it, he turned to Su Yanyan and bellowed, Are all the things Xing Yuyun said true? Did you really drug him? Did you hire someone to take a photo and send it home? Is all this real? Speak! Su Yanyan shook her head, doing nothing but crying. She felt that she was done for. This time, its genuinely over. How could this happen? Su Yuntang was devastated, he quickly turned to Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, did you know everything about this too? Jiang Yi turned pale, I I Speak! Jiang Yi couldnt utter a word. The poor victim trick was used. The hurt was over. !!.. But she didnt expect Xing Yuyun to appear all of a sudden This time there was really no chance of turning things back around. Jiang Yi, you All of you shut up! Su Xueqin interrupted them angrily, What else is there to talk about? It has come to this, she admitted it herself, dont you as parents feel ashamed? Huh! Su Yuntang clenched his jaw tightly, he glanced at everyone in the room, then finally, unwillingly, closed his mouth. Jiang Yi was even more embarrassed to raise her head. The ward regained its calm. For a while, apart from Su Yanyans crying, everyone else fell into dead silence. Until Ashen. Elder Xing suddenly spoke. He held his cane, his old face, solemn and serious. I would like to handle some of the Xing familys personal matters now. Would you kindly ask these irrelevant people to leave? Irrelevant? Ye Qitian was the first to object, No! Why should I leave! He was clearly interested in the ongoing drama! Mingzhu glared at her nephew and said, Its getting late. Since the elder wishes to handle the familys private matters, as outsiders, we should not continue to interfere. However She lightly raised her brow, making her already dazzling face more radiant, her cherry-red lipstick added a dominating chill to her existence, Wanwan is Ashens wife, hence naturally part of the Huo family. Todays circumstances were clearly a misunderstanding, and Wanwan was wronged some time ago, as her elder, I wish for the people involved to apologize to Wanwan, without making her suffer this humiliation for nothing. Otherwise, I cant explain it to my in-laws after returning to the Huo family. Elder Xing, what do you say, isnt that appropriate? The words were polite, but the undertone was obviously aggressive. Everyone was slightly stunned, Su Wanwan was especially overwhelmed. This aunt she is defending her? Wouldnt this offend people? She hurriedly turned to look at the Elder Xing, as expected, the old mans face has turned extremely stiff. No matter how you see it, Mingzhu is his junior. This kind of request, indeed, doesnt give him any face in the crowd. Who would have thought Wanwan, today indeed we have done you wrong, Elder Xing apologized awkwardly, My old eyes are dim and I misunderstood you, I hope you dont take it to heart. Su Wanwan: Even though Elder Xing wasnt comfortable, but what could he do? On this issue, the Xing family was indeed at fault, for they had wronged Su Wanwan without understanding the entire context. Not to mention this Mingzhu is not only the second daughter-in-law of the Huo family, she is also the young lady of the notable Nancheng Ming family, backed by the Ming family and the two elders of the Huo family. Despite the Xing family also being influential, but when compared to the huge families in NanCheng, to make a face-off is equivalent to pitting the egg against the stone. Looking at the facts and the personal reasons This apology, even though hes unwilling, even though he is wronged, he had to give them. On his signal, Old Mother Xing had also to apologize awkwardly, I, old lady, was also too anxious, I said some harsh words, sorry, Wanwan, consider me as being confused and said the wrong things. Su Wanwan was a little embarrassed. Since her childhood, when had she seen the elderly couple of the Xing family being so kind to her? She nodded, about to say something Arent the Su family apologizing? Nangong Ci suddenly spoke out, Dont get all loud when theres a problem and then hide like a snail when things are resolved. The words were extremely impolite, Su Yuntangs face turned as red as a pigs liver. Su Xueqin clenched his cane, his eyebrows furrowed. Jang Yi and Su Yanyan bowed their heads in silence, embarrassed and awkward. Forget about it, Su Wanwan suddenly said, I still have class at two oclock, no need to apologize, Im leaving. Having said that, she turned around to leave. Who knew that Huo Jingshen suddenly grabbed her arm. He just happened to touch the part that was hit by the cane earlier Therefore Hiss, Su Wanwan couldnt help but cry out in pain. Huo Jingshen let go of her, Whats wrong? Su Wanwan didnt say anything. You didnt get hurt, did you? Nangong Ci said, his gaze hinting towards Old Master Xing. Old Master Xings face turned red, he shouted with his neck held high, What are you looking at me for? I didnt lay hands on her! Nangong Ci rubbed his nose, Old Master Xing, why are you so agitated? I didnt say it was you. Old Master Xing: This mischievous kid! It was my fault. The ghostly voice of Su Xueqin echoed, Wanwan, it was the misjudgement of your grandfather, your grandfather Im going back to class. Su Wanwan interrupted him sternly, she turned around and strode towards the exit. Looking at her leaving without looking back, Su Xueqin felt a pang of panic, he shouted desperately, Wanwan! Su Wanwan paused reflexively, her straight back was stiff. However, she still took the step to leave.. Chapter 168 - Chapter 168:168, the pure and innocent little junior sister Chapter 168:168, the pure and innocent little junior sister Translator: 549690339 I Junior sister apprentice! Ye Qitian rushed after her. Su Xueqin gripped his wheelchair handle tightly, his face showing an expression that was complex and hard to describe. Huo Jingshen averted his eyes, gave a slight nod to everyone and also left. The other outsiders observed the situation and also departed one by one. The two staffers from Entertainment Weekly gathered their camera and microphone. As they neared the exit, they were stopped by Xing Guozhi, Excuse me, may I have a word with you two? ** Junior sister apprentice, junior sister apprentice! In the hallway, Ye Qitian finally caught up with Su Wanwan. Just as he was about to speak, the staff had already caught up. Ye Qitian was immediately frustrated, What the hell are you following me for? Cant you give her some private space? They knew only too well how to interrupt his alone time with his junior sister apprentice. They really had a lack of common sense! !!.. To his surprise, the agent warmly looked at Su Wanwan, and pulled out a gold-embossed business card, Miss Su, Im a top agent at Huanyu Media, my name is Xie. Are you interested in entering the entertainment industry? I specialize in packaging young and beautiful female artists like Miss Su. Moreover, Miss Sus temperament is very distinctive Shut up! Ye Qitian swatted away his hand, Did you eat bear heart leopard guts, Xie Ding? Are you even daring to hit on my junior sister apprentice? She is pure as untouched snow, how is it even possible for her to enter the entertainment industry! But to his astonishment, Su Wanwan bent over to pick up the name card that fell on the floor, then examined the name on it. Xie Ding? Who knew his parents were so creative with names! Junior sister apprentice! Ye Qitian cried worriedly, Youre not really considering entering the entertainment circle, are you? Su Wanwan put the name card into her jeans pocket. Then she said, Ill think about it. Ah? Ye Qitians eyes widened, Junior sister apprentice, whats bothering you? Dont make any rash decisions, junior sister apprentice Xie Ding was bursting with joy, Great, Miss Su, please take your time. If youre interested, just call my number. As soon as he stepped into the room earlier, he had noticed Su Wanwan. Although her outfit today was casual and she didnt wear any makeup, this young lady had exquisite features, a beautiful appearance and an innocence on her face that made her look pure and refined. The company had been actively seeking newcomers recently. But those girls on TikTok, Weibo, and various live streaming platforms, once away from the filters, their looks take a big hit, making Su Wanwans naturally beautiful and unique temperament a rare find. If she receives good training and is launched properly, she could surely take the entertainment industry by storm and become the next national sweetheart loved by everyone. Just as Xie Ding was fantastically thinking, a cold male voice came from behind him, Shes not entering the show business. Did you hear that? My junior sister apprentice isnt entering the show business! Ye Qitian reacted after the words came out of his mouth, damn, why did I just repeat that old mans words? The old man, Huo Jingshen, was already walking over. With his tall stature and long legs, dressed in a perfectly fitted handcrafted black suit, lips tightly pressed, eyebrows slightly furrowed, he conveyed an aura of being unapproachable. Knowing his status, Xie Ding naturally didnt dare to say more and immediately quieted down. When he came over, Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwans uninjured arm and said in a low voice, Go upstairs and have a look. Look at what? Su Wanwan asked in confusion. Didnt you get hurt? But I still have classes to attend. Su Wanwan retracted her hand. Its not serious. Ill just apply some medicine when I get home. Whether its serious or not, let the doctor have a look. The tone of Huo Jingshen was flat, but there was an undeniable authority in his words. After speaking, he glanced at Mingzhu behind him, then took Su Wanwan away without any further delay. Thus, just as Ye Qitian was about to follow them, he was pulled back by Mingzhu, Qitian, hurry, auntie suddenly has stomach pain. Quickly take me to the gynecology department for a checkup Being pulled in the opposite direction down the corridor, Ye Qitian continued looking back as they walked. Old man, you just wait! Sooner or later, Ill snatch junior sister apprentice away from your claws! ** 10 minutes later, 5th floor, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery. An old doctor in his fifties sat behind his desk, looking at the outstanding man and woman in front of him. A casually dressed young girl and a mature man in a suit. They simply didnt look like a couple. He frowned, cautiously asking, Wheres the injury? Su Wanwan honestly answered, The arm. Hearing this, the old doctor immediately looked meaningfully at Huo Jingshen and asked, Domestic violence? Su Wanwan was stunned, Huh? Huo Jingshens face had already turned dark. No, no. Su Wanwan quickly denied when she realized. Its not domestic violence. Its not him What did you get hit with? The old doctor asked with a serious expression and tone. a crutch. The old doctor looked at Huo Jingshen again. Goodness, hit with a crutch? These days, criminals are indeed resourceful! He stood up, Remove your clothes, let me see where the injury is. Okay. Today Su Wanwan wore a plaid shirt with jeans and a black vest under the shirt. Just as she unbuttoned the second button, Huo Jingshens voice suddenly interrupted, The injury is on the arm, do you need to take off her clothes to check it? The old doctors wrinkled brow deepened with this sentence, And how am I supposed to examine it without her removing her clothes? You cant check without removing the clothes? Then how do you suggest I examine the injury? Chapter 169 - Chapter 169:169, isn’t it allowed to be mentioned when you are getting old? Chapter 169:169, isnt it allowed to be mentioned when you are getting old? Translator: 549690339 The aged doctor seemed to be arguing with him, I, Old Zhang, have seen injuries and traumas for over thirty years. Im not an immortal. I dont have x-ray vision. How am I supposed to know if there are any other injuries on her body? Huo Jingshen slightly curled his lips, Then lets find a doctor who can. This infuriated the old doctor, Whats wrong with you? Domestic violence wasnt enough, and now youre here to cause trouble in the hospital too? Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, feeling a sudden throbbing in his temples. Noticing his dangerous expression, Su Wanwan hurriedly explained, Doctor, theres a misunderstanding. My husband hasnt committed domestic violence. He didnt cause my injuries Young lady, Ive seen too many cases like this. Just yesterday, a woman was battered by her husband until she suffered a second-degree concussion. Had she not been rescued just in time, she might have lost her life! I simply dont understand. Instead of speaking up when they face difficulties, why do some women choose to endure in silence, sacrifice themselves and eventually end up in irreversible tragedies This left not only Huo Jingshen but also Su Wanwan speechless. Are all the doctors this dramatic nowadays? All she did was get hit on the arm by a crutch, how did that turn into domestic violence? Huo Jingshen, now growing impatient, pulled out his phone and dialed a number, Get me a female doctor on the fifth floor of Surgery. Now. Immediately! !!.. Su Wanwan: ** Half an hour later. Alright, remember to apply the medication every day. It should be healed in about three to five days. The injury isnt severe. Dont worry. Thank you, Doctor. As Su Wanwan buttoned up her shirt, she noticed the female doctor gazing tenderly towards the door. Huo Jingshen was standing in the corridor outside. Apparently, the mature mans attractive appearance had caught her attention, she was gazing at him so affectionately, her cheeks flush with a bashful flush it was like the advent of spring blossoming in her heart! Doctor? Doctor? Su Wanwan slammed the table, Doctor Liu! Huh? The female doctor finally snapped back to reality and looked at Su Wanwan, Miss Su, do you have any other questions? With a sarcastic smirk, Su Wanwan replied, Doctor, you find my husband attractive too, dont you? The female doctor blinked, HusHusband? Yeah. Su Wanwan responded innocently. The female doctor: ** Outside in the corridor, Nangong Ci was scolding Huo Jingshen. Brother, Dr. Zhang is a well-respected traditional medic here. Hes just an old man who means well, but perhaps talks too much. But did you really have to complain about him? He might have assumed youre domestic abuser just because youre so much older, and you and our sister-in-law dont look like a normal couple, but His remaining words were cut off by Huo Jingshens chilling stare. Dammit! Youre not allowed to even talk about your age now? Youre a full ten years older than our sister-in-law, arent you ashamed at all? And there you are, dressed to the nines, clearly inviting misunderstandings! Of course, these words were only dared to be muttered under Nangong Cis breath. How humiliating Are we done? Huo Jingshen softened his gaze and voice as he looked at the young girl emerging from the room. He looked like a completely different person from before! What a hypocrite! While continually criticizing in his heart, Nangong Ci quickly asked, Sister-in-law, is your injury serious? Su Wanwan replied, Its alright, Ill just apply some medicine when I get home. Thats good. Lets go to Orthopedics. The voices of Nangong Ci and Huo Jingshen rang out simultaneously. Huh? Su Wanwan blinked, Why do we need to go to Orthopedics? Just to make sure, by taking an x-ray. Huo Jingshen reasoned. Is that necessary? Su Wanwan was worried. All the drama in the department of surgery had wasted so much time. If they went to Orthopedics as well, she was afraid he might cause an upheaval in the hospital Under her secret gaze, Nangong Ci reluctantly opened his mouth again, Brother, its really not necessary. Doctor Liu is a well-known physician here. Even though she is young, she graduated from medical school. Trust me, just help sister-in-law apply the medication at home. It will definitely get better in two or three days. Be good, mate. Huo Jingshen shot him a cold glance and finally nodded condescendingly, Lets go then. After the two of them entered the elevator and the door closed, Nangong Ci let out a sigh of relief. Finally managed to get these two tyrants away! ** Once they arrived at the car, Su Wanwan sat down. Unbutton your shirt. Huh? Su Wanwan widened her eyes, What are you trying to do? Huo Jingshen turned to face her, his deep, dark eyes looking straight at her, his voice low, what do you think I want to do? Su Wanwan felt an inexplicable shyness. Gradually, two suspiciously red clouds floated onto her cheeks, she murmured weakly, But Im about to be late for class, can we do it some other time She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence! Huo Jingshen reached out and pulled over a plastic bag from the back seat. He pulled out a bottle of medicinal liquor with a devious look in his eyes. However, his tone was sincere, Im just going to apply your medicine. Youre such a little rascal, always thinking nonsense, hmm? Su Wanwan:! Dammit, he told her to undress in such a suggestive manner, could she be blamed for having those thoughts? Su Wanwan coughed lightly and unbuttoned her shirt, her face scorching with embarrassment Huo Jingshen had already unscrewed the bottle. He looked at the deep purple bruise. Because of the young girls fair skin and the contrast of her black tank top, her petite and tender arm looked startlingly delicate. The sight was heartbreaking.. Chapter 171 - Chapter 171:171, lipstick for killing charming men Chapter 171:171, lipstick for killing charming men Translator: 549690339 I Oh, skipping class only a few days into the term, huh? Having a backing really is something! Lin Qiao said, glancing 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 was coming fresh from some mans company. 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 classroom, the class 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 classroom seats filled up with students. Li Mochou came in and began the lesson. Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. But good things never last. 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 class? 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 job last 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 class 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 class 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 slack off during Li Mochous class. 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 class, so I did not go back to the dorm to grab my textbook. Oh, so thats why. Li Mochou glanced 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 class was over and Li Mochou left, the entire classroom 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 slapped down onto her table. She was startled. The chatter in the classroom 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 play these third-rate tricks. Are you brain-dead or just stupid? With an audible gasp, the classroom 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 class are her classmates. Jian Shuhao was sitting right next to her. As the beauty queen of her department, she must maintain her image and couldnt resort to bad language and lack 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 class 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 place. Stop blabbing 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 slapping 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 172 - Chapter 172:172, it’s not fair to bully the bodyguard! Chapter 172:172, its not fair to bully the bodyguard! Translator: 549690339 Hearing the laughter from her classmates around, she couldnt hold back anymore and blurted out, You wretched bitch, just you wait! One day, Ill Whos this wretched bitch looking at! Suddenly a squeaky, feminine voice rang out. When they saw the woman standing at the door of the classroom, another scream broke out: Wow, its the schools beauty! Finally, the school beauty is here for class! School beauty, look at me, look at me Mo Weiyi was wearing a red dress that reached her feet, making her skin look as white as snow. Her abundant dark chestnut curls exuded an air of superiority. With her picturesque features and bright red lips, the whole person looked exquisite and beautiful even though she leaned on a petite silver cane in her right hand. She looked at Lin Qiao, lifted her pale, pointed chin, and commanded the bodyguard behind her, Rong An, remove your sock and stuff that wretchs mouth with it. Upon hearing this, Rong An jumped, although his face remained expressionless. !!.. He was instructed to A ruthless bodyguard Take off his socks in front of these kids? Nobody bullies their bodyguard like this! As for Lin Qiao, her face had already turned pale with fear. Mo Weiyi was not just a school beauty but also the heiress of the Mo family, not to mention she had a chillingly cold husband. While university students might not have a good grasp of the connections of high society, the mere mention of the Mo family was enough to incite trepidition. Im sorry. As her boyfriend, Jian Shuhao immediately stood up, Miss Mo, Qiao didnt do it on purpose. Qiao, you should apologize to Su Wanwan promptly. Lin Qiao was astonished, You want me to apologize to this wretch? Jian Shuhao immediately furrowed his brows. Does this woman even understand that hes trying to help her? Mo Weiyi had already strode into the classroom with her cane. As she approached, her authoritative and lofty tone remained, Are you Lin Qiao? Lin Qiao didnt expect Mo Weiyi to remember her. After entering university, because they were not in the same department, and Mo Weiyi seldom came to school and didnt participate in any clubs, they had almost no interaction. Quite laughable. Mo Weiyi raised her meticulously drawn eyebrows and glanced at the clean-shaven young man beside her, Jian Shuhao, how are you still with this woman? I remember in the second year of high school, she wrote a corny love letter to court you and when the teacher found it, she lied and said it was written by Wanwan. Su Wanwan: So thats what happened back in the day? She couldnt remember clearly, she just remembered that Lin Qiao often went out of her way to bother her in the dorm, leading to a fight. No wonder Lin Qiao always glared at her and Jian Shuhao kept saying something about her harboring a secret crush on him Seriously messed up! Mo Weiyi laughed mockingly again, This coward, who cant even admit to liking a man, and you actually dare to date her. Arent you afraid of her betraying you one day? Lin Qiaos face flushed scarlet in an instant. She looked at her boyfriend and saw Jian Shuhaos awkward expression. Panicking, she stammered trying to explain, Shuhao, I justI didn t No wonder you always pick a fight with me. Su Wanwan interrupted her, You deliberately tripped me in the first class to make me embarrass myself in public. You visited my dorm around 9 pm to inspect the sanitary condition, even accused me of bringing men into the dorm, and got the caretaker to post a notice banning male entry. Then, during class today, you purposely had me read a text aloud hoping the professor would find out I skipped class and punish me with lower grades. Tsk, tsk, tsk. So you were doing all these petty things because you were worried your boyfriend might fall for me? The classroom buzzed again. Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Qiao. Only, by now, their looks had changed significantly. After all, once they came to South University, Jian Shuhao and Lin Qiao were the model couple. Jian Shuhao was tall and handsome, good at basketball and academically gifted. Although Lin Qiaos academic performance was average, she had a charismatic and enthusiastic personality and liked to help her classmates. They both held positions in the class and student council. They were like a match made in heaven, envied by many. But who would have thought that their true colors would be exposed so publicly now Lin Qiao gritted her teeth and listened to the buzzing in the classroom. She felt extremely embarrassed. But because Mo Weiyi was present, and her bodyguard was still at the door, all she could do was seethe in silent rage. Then Su Wanwan spoke again, In that case, you can rest easy. Let me make it clear to you now: I have no interest in second-hand goods! Exactly! Mo Weiyi chimed in, My precious Baby Wanwan is so beautiful, what kind of man couldnt she get? As for your boyfriend, hes practically blind and skinny as a post, without a muscle, not even a man. You might as well hold onto him and make do! Ha ha ha ha ha The whole classroom bursts into raucous laughter, followed by: I really enjoy watching the schools beauty stand up to people. Shes so dominant! I didnt expect Lin Qiao to be this kind of person, making things difficult for the new students behind the scenes! This just proves you cant judge people by their appearance! Who can blame her? Su Wanwan is prettier than she is. She was just afraid her classmate would be stolen away! Ah, jealousy makes people crazy, jealousy destroys the beauty in people Lin Qiao clenches her teeth and tightly grips her hands together. After all, shes still just a twenty-year-old girl. Being ridiculed before everyone, especially because her boyfriend is also being mocked Finally, she cant help but exclaim, Mo Weiyi, just because youre from the wealthy Mo Family doesnt mean you can shamelessly humiliate others! Humiliate? Am I not speaking the truth? Mo Weiyi raises her delicate eyebrows, looking somewhat impatient. Rong An, didnt you put on your socks today? Why dont you go and shut her up! Princess, Rong Ans response is gruff, To silence a woman, socks arent necessary. Mo Weiyi rolls her captivating eyes: One punch and shell pass out. Naturally, shell shut up then. Rong An bluntly adds. A wave of slight twitching appears on Su Wanwans face. Though the bodyguard may always keep a straight face and speak curtly, and the current atmosphere is somewhat stiff, but listening to this conversation, she cant help but want to disproportionally burst into laughter. How is she going to manage? Mo Weiyi plays with her curls, I dont care how you do it. Just make sure I dont have to hear her voice again. Understood. With that, Rong An steps forward into the classroom. Hes simply dressed in a black suit and slacks. Hes tall and well-built, sporting a short, flat-top haircut. His face is expressionless, his gaze cold, exuding an aura of danger that one would associate with a long-term denizen of the underworld. This stands in stark contrast to the skinny boys in the classroom. Lin Qiao is both shocked and terrified, Mo Weiyi, dont you dare let him touch me! Qiao Qiao, just apologize! Jian Shuhao pleads. Mo Weiyi smirks lazily, Hes my bodyguard, not your boyfriend. He wont be soft-hearted. Ill count to three, and if you dont apologize, prepare to be beaten to a pulp. With that, she begins counting, One. Mo Weiyi, this is a classroom, everyones watching! Two. Im going to report this to the deans office, I can even call the police. Everyone can testify for me! Three. Rong An walks up to Lin Qiao, clenches his fist, and raises it high. Aaaaaaaaaa! Lin Qiao, terrified, covers her head and screams with her eyes closed, Im sorry! I was wrong, I promise I wont do it again, Im sorry, Im sorry Rong An lowers his fist. See, wasnt that easier? Done and dusted, Mo Weiyi says before loudly declaring, Everyone listen up, Wanwan is my best friend. If you mess with her, you mess with me. No one in the classroom dares to make any noise. It isnt until Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi leave that the classroom slowly becomes noisy again. Lin Qiao releases her hands, lowers her head, and slowly stops shaking. No one sees the twisted expression on her face, distorted almost to the point of gruesomeness. Su Wanwan, you bitch! You just wait and see. Dont think I cant touch you just because Mo Weiyi is backing you up! Once I find enough evidence, Ill disgrace you and make sure your reputation is ruined! Ill make you drop out! Ill make you leave South University completely! Lin Qiao. Jian Shuhaos voice suddenly rings out. Lin Qiao hurriedly composes her expression, lifting her head to look at her boyfriend, Shuhao, whats wrong? Youre a college student. Dont you think its inappropriate to dress so revealingly every day? Lin Qiao is stunned. Shes been dressing this way since high school. Is it because Su Wanwan criticized her today that even he started despising how she dresses? Also, Jian Shuhao coldly adds, Didnt I already tell you not to single out Su Wanwan? Stop doing such childish and low-class things.. Chapter 173 - Chapter 173:173, buying a birthday gift for my husband Chapter 173:173, buying a birthday gift for my husband Translator: 549690339 Shuhao, I was wrong. Lin Qiao immediately apologised. After all, she did embarrass him in front of his classmates because of her behavior. She reached out to hold his hand, but he fiercely shrugs it off. Shuhao I dont want my girlfriend to be petty and manipulative. Lin Qiao, were not suitable for each other. Lets break up. After speaking, Jiang Shuhao left with his bag. Because it all happened so suddenly, Lin Qiao was in a state of shock. By the time she chased him to the classroom door, he was already far away. Lin Qiao felt very flustered, and quickly took out her phone. But no matter what, Jiang Shuhao wouldnt answer her calls. !!.. And then, it indicated that he had turned off his phone. Lin Qiao never imagined the situation would escalate to this extent, its all falling apart ** Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was helping Mo Weiyi to go downstairs. Seeing her leaning on a crutch, she couldnt help frowning, Why would you come to school if your leg still hasnt healed? Im bored staying at home alone. Besides, its fine as long as I dont hit my cast. Since class is over, Mo Weiyi said, laughing as she leaned on Wanwans arm, lets go shopping. Teachers Day is coming up, and I want to buy a present for Xiaobai. Is it necessary to buy Xiaobai a gift for Teachers Day? Su Wanwan said exasperatedly. Hes not a teacher. This is called being romantic, you wouldnt understand, Mo Weiyi said, teasing Su Wanwan. Like women, men also feel happy to occasionally receive a small gift from their partner. It can enhance their feelings. Despite Xiaobai always being cold Su Wanwan blinked, then said, Alright, lets go. Someones birthday was coming up who had been pestering her for a gift. She could go shopping with Weiyi and pick up a gift in passing. Just for convenience. Su Wanwan reminded herself of this in her heart. But when they arrived at the mall, Su Wanwan felt dizzy looking at the astronomical prices for the luxury goods in the menswear store. Its all Mo Xiaoses fault to come shopping at such a place! Even an ordinary belt costs tens of thousands! Are they made of gold and can guarantee longevity? The total amount she had on her was just a bit over two thousand Shop assistant. Mo Weiyi was already interested in a mans wristwatch. Does this model have a couples version? Im sorry, Miss Mo, we only have the male version of this watch. Only male version? The extravagance in Mo Weiyis eyes withered. The watch was indeed exquisite, simple, and its cold-toned design suited Xiaobais indifferent and refined temperament. If there was a couples version, she could wear the same as Xiaobai. Miss Mo, this model is a limited edition launched this year. This is the last one left. Hearing it was a limited edition and the last piece, Mo Weiyi immediately said, Wrap it up. Ok, Miss Mo. The sales assistant was overjoyed. A limited watch worth over a million, only someone like Mo familys Little Princess would buy without blinking an eye. She definitely wouldnt need to worry about this yearactually, the sales for the next few years! Su Wanwan glanced at the price, and couldnt help but wince. Just a watch and it costs 1.88 million? Its simply excessive and capricious Wanwan, youre interested in this belt? Mo Weiyi came over, Wow, are you planning to buy a belt for Mr. Huo? Su Wanwan quickly let go of the belt in her hand, No, Im not. Giving a man a belt means tying down his lower body, oh, Mo Weiyi sounded like an expert. Su Wanwan: What the hell! Miss Mo. The sales assistant returned, Im sorry, but your card shows an insufficient balance. Mo Weiyi was shocked, How is that possible! This was the card with the dowry money that Mo Yaoxiong had given her at her wedding. But she had always used Xiaobais card after the wedding and hadnt used this one at all. She remembered that for good luck, Mo Yaoxiong had purposely given her 16.66 million, if shes not mistaken? The sales assistant awkwardly smiled, Im sorry, Miss Mo, do you have another card? Mo Weiyi looked down, rummaged through her handbag, I didnt bring it, I just changed bags today. This The sales assistant looked complicated. Not closing this sale was heartbreaking for her. How could Miss Mo, from the wealthy Mo family, only bring one card when going shopping? Use my card. Suddenly, a mans hand reached over, slender and well-proportioned, holding a black, gold-embossed card. Su Wanwan looked over. Chu Xiuhuang? Mo Weiyi was clearly surprised as well, but she quickly said, I dont need it, Ill come back again. Then wrap it for me, give it to Miss Mo. Chu Xiuhuang had a thin smile, a charming and frivolous look on his face. Mo Weiyi was stunned, Mr. Chu, Im buying this watch for my husband. What do you mean by this? Consider it a gift to Mr. Xiao from me, Chu Xiuhuang lifted his eyebrows. No need! Xiaobai doesnt like receiving gifts from others! Let alone a gift from a man! Mr. Chu. At this moment, a whiny voice of a young woman followed the sounds of high heels. Oh my, Mr. Chu, how did you get here? Ive been looking for you, its so hard to find you! Su Wanwan looked at her. Uh, it hasnt been long, and Chu Xiuhuang changed his girlfriend again? Chapter 174 - Chapter 174:174, the Little Princess broke my heart Chapter 174:174, the Little Princess broke my heart Translator: 549690339 Last time, she was a gentle and intellectual woman, even asking about Chu Xiuhuangs preferences. Now, shes turned into a plastic-surgery-crazed internet celebrity. The woman was also eyeing Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi. Seeing two young, beautiful girls each with their unique style, the woman began feeling threatened. She quickly looped her arm around Chu Xiuhuangs and gave them a guarded look, Who are you two? What do you want with my Chu Xiuhuang? Exasperation streaked across Su Wanwans face. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but laugh. So, this is Chu Xiuhuangs type a surgery-altered face, huh? The womans face stiffened, What are you talking about? What am I saying? Mo Weiyi looked at her face and clucked, Your forehead fillers are so smooth, almost like an everlasting statue. Your nostrils are so narrow it must be difficult to breathe. And your chin, its sharp enough to crack walnuts. Pfft! Su Wanwan couldnt suppress her laughter. Standing aside, Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow. His slender face shone under the shops crystal lighting, making him even more dazzlingly handsome. And those breasts are fake, right? Mo Weiyi continued, her eyes twinkling mischievously. She then reached out, Let me feel Ahhhhhh!! The woman, terrified, turned and clutched onto Chu Xiuhuangs arm for dear life, pressing herself against him. Already dressed in a low-cut outfit, her chest was now even more prominent. Su Wanwans eyes almost popped out. Chu Xiuhuang is really lucky. Those must be at least E-cup, right? Remove your hand. Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly broke the silence. The woman looked at him in surprise, Chu Xiuhuang Are you deaf? I said remove your hand. Chu Xiuhuang gave her a sidelong glance. His eyes no longer held their previous amused glint, and his face was expressionless. Scared, the woman quickly let go, just as Chu Xiuhuang said, You can leave now. Chu Xiuhuang Casually placing his hands in his pockets, Chu Xiuhuang lazily turned his neck, Still not leaving? Embarrassment flashed across the womans face. Despite her reluctance, she considered the pearl necklace and jade bracelet she had just gotten Better to quit while ahead. Chu Xiuhuang was generous with his girlfriends, but he was equally capable of acting impulsively. She couldnt afford to get dumped on their first date. She would be a laughingstock among her friends. So, the woman flipped her long hair and gave him a flirtatious smile, Well, Ill go then, Chu Xiuhuang. Lets meet again next time There is no next time. The woman froze, Chu Xiuhuang, why Chu Xiuhuang didnt even look at her, Do I need to have you thrown out? The woman: Having been unexpectedly dumped in public, she walked away in a huff after a last spiteful glare at the two girls who had ruined her day. Once the woman was gone, Mo Weiyi addressed the saleslady, Keep this watch for me, Ill come back to buy it tomorrow. Just then, Chu Xiuhuangs voice chimed in, Wrap it up for me. I want it. Mo Weiyi turned to glare at him, What are you up to now? Chu Xiuhuang smirked, Little Princess, first you say I cant give you a gift, then you say I cant buy this. You cant be so unreasonable! Mo Weiyi was exasperated, Youre clearly doing it on purpose! Little Princess, why would you think Im doing this on purpose? I just think you have good taste, this watch is quite nice. So if the Little Princess doesnt want to accept it, Ill buy it for myself. Chu Xiuhuang said and with a cluck, continued, Besides, because of the Little Princess, I just got dumped. I need to buy this watch to cheer myself up! Why would the Little Princess snatch this from me? You Mo Weiyi realized she was dealing with a hooligan. A very wealthy, persuasive hooligan. It was clear he was the one trying to snatch what shed already picked. Now somehow she was the one accused of taking his? The saleslady was in a bind. One was the spoilt heiress of the Mo family, the other was the young master of the Chu family. Offending either of them would do her no good. She quickly grabbed another watch, Young Master Chu, how about this one? Its our classic model Ugly. Then how about this model? We have a couples set Vulgar. Saleslady: With a tap of his slender finger on the table, Chu Xiuhuang declared decisively, No need to show me anything else. I want this one. Pack it. No! I saw it first! Mo Weiyi was not going to back down, slapping her hand on the counter. The saleslady was speechless again. The tension hung heavy in the air. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. Arguing over a watch? Is that what rich people do? Throw money around carelessly? Weiyi. Su Wanwan intervened, Honestly, I dont think this watch is all that special. Its kind of tacky. Let him have it. We can look elsewhere. Chu Xiuhuang looked at Su Wanwan and quickly blinked twice. Su Wanwan quickly averted her gaze, as if she hadnt seen his gesture. Chu Xiuhuang: Whats the matter with his sister-in-law? Shouldnt she be on his side? Chapter 175 - Chapter 175:175, Boss Huo is picking up his wife from school. Chapter 175:175, Boss Huo is picking up his wife from school. Translator: 549690339 Mo Weiyi has already pulled out his phone for backup, Dad, whats up with the card you gave me? Which card? The CMB card, what happened to the money inside? Oh, the Mo Family just invested in a resort recently, and the bank said they wouldnt disburse the funds until after the 10th, so I temporarily borrowed it Mo Yaoxiong said calmly, Once the bank transfer comes in, I will return it to you. Mo Weiyi didnt think too much about it, Then transfer two million to me now. What do you need so much money for? Its an emergency, just do it now. understood. After hanging up, Mo Weiyi clapped his hands, Pack it up for me, wait a few minutes, Ill swipe my card as soon as the money is in. The sales lady looked at Chu Xiuhuang. She seemed a bit hesitant. MO Weiyi quickly spoke, This watch was the one I noticed first, we should always respect the principle of first come, first served. Isnt that right, Mr. Chu Xiuhuang still had his casual, carefree smile. Hearing this, he slightly nodded, It would seem that the little princess words make a lot of sense. Mo Weiyi then laughed happily. The sales lady finally relaxed, quickly packaging the wristwatch, just waiting for the transfer to come in and complete the transaction. Who would have thought Her phone rang quite soon after, Mo Weiyi answered it, Dad? Who knows what was being said on the other end, her beautiful face crinkled up, and she finally replied in a resigned tone, I see. After hanging up, Mo Weiyis small nose and eyes shifted towards Chu Xiuhuang, as if wanting to speak but holding back. Then, she held her chin high, speaking in a tone of gracious charity, Oh forget It, its only a broken watch. Wanwan is right, its so outdated, but it suits your taste, so since you like it so much, Ill let you have it. Wanwan, lets go. Su Wanwan: Chu Xiuhuang just chuckled, not the least bit upset, Salesperson, please charge this to my card. Yes, Mr. Chu. Turning around, Mo Weiyi clenched her small fists in irritation and kept waving them about. So angry! So annoyed! So conflicted! But what can she do, Mo Yaoxiong said he didnt have that much cash and told her to ask Xiaobai directly. But asking Xiaobai would ruin the surprise of the gift, wouldnt it? Every time she gives him a gift, hes so indifferent. She wanted to surprise him this time. Forget it. Watching Mo Weiyi walking away with obvious disappointment but still holding her head high, Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but smile. The little princess was just too adorable. Mr. Chu, heres your watch, said the sales lady. Chu Xiuhuang withdrew his gaze, Miss, please send this watch to Miss Mos address. What? The sales lady was stunned. Your shop doesnt have Miss Mos address? We do, we do. As the heiress of the Mo Family, Mo Weiyi would go on a shopping spree from time to time. After shopping so much, she obviously would leave her address for deliveries. Chu Xiuhuang nodded and walked away in a dignified manner. Once he got in the car, he took out his phone and dialed a number. It took a while before the call was answered, What is it? The voice was impatient. Big brother, do you want to go out for a drink tonight? No, too busy. The voice was still as cold. Busy with what on a weekend? Picking up my wife from school. Chu Xiuhuang: Picking up his wife from school? Wasnt someones wife currently shopping? You, a man with no wife, wouldnt understand. Huo Jingshen added another sentence. Clearly being smug! Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows twitched severely, then he said, Your wife skipped school. Silence ensued on the phone. Chu Xiuhuang was very proud, saying gleefully, I met your wife while I was out shopping with my girlfriend. Isnt marrying a young girl tiring? Shes living at the school every day without good food, you have to worry whether shes studying well, whether shes messing around with some boys Hello? Damn it! He hung up the call. It seemed he hit the nail on the head and annoyed the person on the other side. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow and dialed another number. The pick-up this time was swift. Mr. Chu? What can I do for you? Secretary Shi. Chu Xiuhuangs tone was stern, Are you a woman? Mr. Chu, havent you always said I was a man? Chu Xiuhuang: He spoke sternly again, As a secretary, you cant discern whether a woman is natural or has had plastic surgery? This is a serious dereliction of duty! If you dare to arrange for me to date a woman who has had plastic surgery again, I will deduct your salary. I understand, Mr. Chu, I was wrong. Hmm. Chu Xiuhuang hung up the phone arrogantly. Tsk tsk tsk, how could he not have company on a weekend? Forget it, lets go drinking with Lu Xiaosi. ** At that moment, Huo Jingshen was already parked outside of Nancheng University. & He parked the car and checked the time. Previously, Su Wanwan said her class would end at four oclock. It was already half-past five. He tried to call her, but Were sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. Great. Huo Jingshen put down the phone, his thin lips curling into a chilling smile. Skip school? Ran off to go shopping? And even has the gall to turn off her phone? It seems as though the little girl is getting too audacious and needs a good spanking. ** Back in the mall, Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi visited several other shops. But as the saying goes, what you cant have is always what you perceive as the best. In the end, Mo Weiyi didnt choose a gift. She checked the time, Wanwan, do you need to buy anything else? Su Wanwan shook her head, No more shopping. It was too expensive.. Chapter 176 - Chapter 176:176, treat words like gold Chapter 176:176, treat words like gold Translator: 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 dinner later. Okay. While Mo Weiyi was on the phone, Su Wanwan glanced around, and then she saw a gift shop. Welcome 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 black, 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 glance, 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 black 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 flamboyant 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 popular 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 black Audi traveled smoothly. With no phone to play with, Su Wanwan was bored. So, she said, Rong An, can you play some music? Rong An responded with a stiff voice, I dont have any music in my car. So dull? Can we play 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 to laugh. How could Weiyi stand this bodyguard? He was definitely one who was sparing with his words. A while later, 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 villa. At the dining table, Fu Ziyang was occasionally glancing 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 place, 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 black Audi slowly stopped in front of the villas 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 177 - Chapter 177:177, Couple’s Phone Case Chapter 177:177, Couples Phone Case Translator: 549690339 I Su Wanwan was eager to rush. Why was this bodyguard so slow to respond? Seeing the footsteps drawing nearer, the black Audi suddenly made a ziii sound, made a beautiful turn and drove away from this place of dispute. Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She swiftly turned around, took a few light steps over and affectionately wrapped her arms around the mans arm, Husband. Huo Jingshen: He stopped, his voice cold and slightly eerie, Who was that? Wei Yis bodyguard. Su Wanwan raised her little head, asking cutely, Do we still have food at home? I havent eaten dinner yet, Im starving, lets hurry up. She let him go and tried to leave, but Huo Jingshens broad hand grabbed her. Su Wanwan ended up directly in his embrace. Uh You were pretty enthusiastic just now? Why in such a hurry to leave? Feeling guilty? Huo Jingshens voice rang out, dripping with sarcasm. Guilty of what? What she feared was he would say and do inappropriate things in front of others again. Huo Jingshen asked directly, Speak, where have you been this afternoon? This afternoon? Su Wanwan blinked her clear and beautiful eyes, I was taking classes at school Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, looking down at her. The street lamps light scanned over. His face was expressionless, his handsome profile slightly obscured. Su Wanwan felt nervous under his gaze. Just as she was about to speak, the man suddenly relaxed his hold on her and lowered himself down. Before she could react, she was lifted up, as if he was lifting a sack of potatoes, and he turned to walk back into the villa. Su Wanwan, hanging upside down, faced the ground. Blood rushed to her head, her little face quickly turned red, and she yelled continuously, Asshole, what are you doing, let me go, ahhh let me go Fu Ziyang had just finished his dinner. Walking out of the dining room, he witnessed a brutal scene: Uncle Huo was carrying Auntie. Su Wanwan was yelling: Ahh let me go, asshole, bastard Huo Jingshen looked at the child, lifting his hand. A crisp slap echoed through the air, hitting her. Theres a child around, stop cursing. Su Wanwan: Then, she heard someone seriously say, Your Auntie made a mistake. Uncle is disciplining her. After saying this, he ignored the childs stunned expression and carried Su Wanwan upstairs into the villa. Upon entering the bedroom and closing the door, the young girl started shouting again, Bastard, are you crazy, hurry up and put me down ahhhhh Smack! echoed throughout the room again. Huo Jingshen impatiently slapped her again, Stop screaming. Having been slapped twice in a row, Su Wanwan felt wronged. She clenched her fist, yelling, Bastard, youre crushing my arm, it hurts! Huo Jingshen looked startled, hurriedly walked to the couch, and put her down. He had been so angry earlier that he forgot about her arm injury. Especially when he saw the girls red face, her brow furrowed, looking pitiful and wronged. Feelings of guilt and regret overwhelmed him Let me see. His voice even softened a bit. Su Wanwan was suddenly upset, defending her arm and not letting him look, What are you doing? Have you taken the wrong medication? Speaking of this, Huo Jingshens expression became stern again, The phone, why did it shut down? Over such a small thing, she threw a tantrum? Su Wanwan quickly replied, I didnt get a chance to see it. I only found out it was off just now. No opportunity? the man squinted, his expression very dangerous. Yes, why would I lie to you? I was shopping the whole time, when would I have had time to check my phone? With whom were you shopping? Wei Yi. So, to shop with Wei Yi, you not only skipped class, you also happened to have your phone off? Plus, you didnt say a thing to me? The crux being, she hadnt told him she was going out. He had found out from someone else. Su Wanwan patiently explained, I didnt skip class. I finished my class and coincidentally Wei Yi came over. She said she wanted to buy a gift for Xiao Bai. I thought of also buying a birthday gift for you while I She stopped mid-sentence. Huo Jingshen instantly caught on to a crucial point in what she just said. Buy me a birthday gift? Su Wanwan closed her mouth, not speaking. What birthday gift? Su Wanwan still kept quiet. Huo Jingshen sat down on the couch, spreading his long legs. His eyes moved to her small pink bag hanging by her side, Sweetie, take out the gift and let me see. Su Wanwan coughed awkwardly. She could only grit her teeth, pull out a phone case from her bag and timidly mumble, this. Huo Jingshen looked at the phone case. His eyebrows twitched slightly. After a moment, he asked uncertainly, Are you surethis is my gift? Su Wanwan looked up and froze. Shit. How did she accidentally give him the red Minnie Mouse case? She quickly grabbed it back, No no, this isnt for you. She lowered her head, rummaging in her bag for another thing. This one is for you. His long fingers picked up what was obviously his black Mickey Mouse phone case. Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids, looking leisurely at the blushing girl, Couple phone cases? Su Wanwan was stunned. Her face suddenly felt hot. Sweetheart, do you want to use couple phone cases with hubby? Su Wanwans face instantly got even hotter.. Chapter 178 - Chapter 178:178, dead child Chapter 178:178, dead child Translator: 549690339 Hubby is very happy. Huo Jingshen nodded, suddenly feeling that there was hope for this girl yet. Who knew Not at all! Its just that I needed to replace my phone case. The staff said that buying both of them together would give an 80% discount, just 588 yuan. I thought wow, thats such a good deal, so I bought them. Huo Jingshen looked at her, pursed his lips, and remained silent: Turns out shes just a foolish kid who doesnt understand emotions. She cant even flatter someone properly! Whats wrong with saying a few sweet words to appease him? With the man being expressionless and silent, Su Wanwans initial embarrassment gradually turned into awkwardness and tension. Err, did he not like the gift? Understandable. The phone cases pattern was childish to begin with, and it was cheap, just over 500 yuan It didnt match his status and standing at all. If you dont like it, give it back to me. As soon as Su Wanwan finished speaking, she reached out to grab it back. Huo Jingshen sighed, grabbed her small hand directly, Who said I didnt like it? Su Wanwan: Baby, help me put it on. A black phone was pushed into her hands. The all-black smartphone was just like him, meticulous, without a hint of decoration. Su Wanwan pursed her lips and obediently helped him put on the new phone case. As a result, Huo Jingshen added, Put yours on too. So Su Wanwan could only take out her own phone, take off the original pink protective case, and put on this new one. Huo Jingshen nodded in satisfaction, his well-defined, large hand holding the two phones, examining them together, turning them around and over. It seemed as if he was appreciating some form of art. His brows and eyes were full of delight and his thin lips were curled up, displaying an expression of utmost contentment. Su Wanwan suddenly felt, Well, this childish phone case, it actually matches him pretty well. Equally childish! It seemed like he had finally admired enough, Huo Jingshen placed the two phones on the coffee table, Remember to call me in advance if you are going anywhere. Got it. Su Wanwan pouted. Really, this guy is simply like a butler. In the next second, Unbutton. Huh? Su Wanwan was stunned. I want to check the injuries on your body. Huo Jingshen matter-of-factly stated. However, Su Wanwan shook her head continuously, No need, no need, it doesnt hurt anymore, it should be fine. Why are you so nervous? Huo Jingshen gave her a sly glance. Su Wanwan: If you werent so shameless, I wouldnt have to be worried! Hurry up, let me see. Huo Jingshen demanded once more. There was an undeniable tone in his voice. Touching her stomach, Su Wanwan wanted to make a final struggle, Can we go downstairs and eat first? Im really starving. She just remembered that she only ate breakfast today. She spent most of the afternoon in the hospital, then went to school and accompanied Weiyi shopping, and had not eaten anything since. No rush. Su Wanwan: Seeing her dallying around, a trace of annoyance flashed in Huo Jingshens eyes and he reached out directly. In the blink of an eye, her shirt vanished. Now Su Wanwan was left with just a black tank top. And the bruise on her arm had turned purple. Its all fine? Huo Jingshen asked, suddenly lightly pressing on the bruise with his finger. Hiss! Su Wanwan winced back, couldnt help but cry out in pain, It hurts a bit The young girls voice was tender and soft with a hint of pained and pitiful tone. Huo Jingshen looked at her. Her hair got a bit messy from all the hustling just now. Touching the bruise on her arm, Su Wanwan felt she was really unlucky, this would probably take days to heal. Just as she raised her head, she met his gaze. Piercing, emitting quite a sinister gleam, it was as if He wanted to eat her up! Her heart pounded, she stood up, Im hungry, I want to go downstairs and eat Just as she made it to the door, she heard footsteps behind her. A large, well-defined male hand reached forward, locking the door in an instant. The click sound made Su Wanwan shudder slightly. Can we eat first, please? She asked feebly. Are you that hungry? Huo Jingshen sighed, Well, hubby is a bit hungry too. Su Wanwan almost wanted to cry, Im really hungry, I havent eaten anything since this morning. Fine, Huo Jingshen acquiesced. In the end, Su Wanwan was awakened by the tantalizing aroma. As she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Jingshen standing in front of her. He had changed into a set of dark-colored leisure wear, looking clean and refined, holding a plate with a bowl of porcelain noodles on it between his long and beautiful fingers. He seemed every bit the perfect house-husband. Su Wanwan was momentarily thrown off. Was this the same jerk who refused to let her go despite her screams earlier on? They were two completely different personas! What a hypocrite! Seeing that she had woken up, the man lifted an eyebrow, smiling eyes and joyful lips, radiating a refreshing aura. Baby, are you famished? His voice was incredibly gentle, imbued with a hint of indulgence.. Chapter 179 - Chapter 179:179, Feeding Chapter 179:179, Feeding Translator: 549690339 I Su Wanwan huffed, her teeth itching with annoyance. She clenched her fists, trying to get up and do something, but with a cry of Ay ya, toppled back down like a weeble. Huo Jingshen placed the plate on the coffee table, walked over to her, picked up a blanket from one side, and directly wrapped her in it. What are you doing? Su Wanwan cried out in alarm as she was lifted up by him, wrapped up like a zongzi (a traditional Chinese rice-dumpling). Once at the sofa, Huo Jingshen sat her on his lap still wrapped in the blanket, speaking to her in a tone like one would use to coax a child, Arent your legs weak? Lets have your hubby feed you. With that, he brought a spoonful of food to her mouth, Okay, open up. The pale yellow noodles were topped with a piece of beef with tendons, coated with sauce. It was steaming hot, emitting an enticing aroma. It looked deliciously tempting. It smelled so good Having been famished, Su Wanwan finally gave in and ate a bite. Emerald-faced, she chewed and swallowed hastily. Uhm, it was indeed chewy and flavorful. While eating, she asked incoherently, Did you cook? She didnt have to ask to know. The fact that someone was prepared to cook delicious food for her and even feed her was simply to win her favor! Is it delicious? He asked in a very gentle voice. Su Wanwan hummed. She had to admit that Huo Jingshens cooking skills were really good, even if it was just a bowl of ordinary beef noodles. Remember to add chopped green onions, coriander, and chili next time. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Such a heavy taste? Ive finished eating it. Su Wanwan glared at him, Hurry up and feed me! Huo Jingshen smiled faintly, wielded his chopsticks, and continued to feed his darling. ** Elsewhere. The Mo familys old house. Mo Weiyi entered the main hall to find her grandmother chatting with the Mo elder. She immediately limped over with her cane, Grandma. A servant helped her sit down next to the elderly Madam Xu. Seeing her beautiful granddaughter, a smile formed on the old ladys face, Yiyi, why did you come back alone? Wheres your husband? Xiaobai will be a bit late. I happened to be shopping nearby and decided to come over first, Mo Weiyi answered crisply. Has your leg injury gotten any better? Madam Xu asked again. Its fine. The doctor said it should be almost healed after another month of rest. Be more careful in the future. Add more non-slip mats in the bathroom The old lady muttered on and on. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to acknowledge her continuously until a soft voice echoed, Yiyis back? Mo Weiyi looked up to see a young mother and daughter standing before her. Her aunt, Xu Jing, and cousin, Qu Yunyao. Both of them seemed to have dolled up specifically for this meeting. Especially Qu Yunyao, who was wearing a long, beige chiffon gown that trailed the ground, her face skillfully made-up. She was fair-skinned and handsome, similar in appearance to Xu Jing. They both had the soft, gentle look of southern women, with a hint of vulnerability. This was quite different from Mo Weiyis vibrant and dazzling look. Yunyao, have you greeted your sister? Xu Jing asked. Qu Yunyao looked at Mo Weiyi, her smile innocent, Hello, Sister Yiyi. Although Mo Weiyi was not very enthusiastic, she still responded politely, before going back to her phone. She didnt know her aunt and her family very well. While her aunt and cousin had lived in the old house a few years ago, she had been away at boarding school and they had had few interactions. She sent a WeChat message to Xiao Yebai. The elder Mo had set dinner at 8 oclock. He was the head of the family and disliked lateness. It was already after sevenXiaobai must not be late Xiaobais not back yet. Sit down for a while, Mo Yaoxiong, having entered the room, invited everyone to sit. Xu Jing glanced at him, her eyes full of love and tenderness. She quickly averted her gaze as she took a seat across the room with her daughter. Dad. Mo Yaoxiongs voice was heard again, The villa near the west side of the house has been unoccupied for a while. I asked the maids to clean it up a bit. We can have Xu Jing move in. Hearing this, Mo Weiyi immediately looked up. That wouldnt be convenient, Lady Xu intervened. Xu Jing also chimed in, Thats right, Brother-in-law, its fine for Yunyao and me to stay with Mom. Mothers house is small and too far from the city center. Isnt Xu Jing going to be a teacher at Wellington? Commuting would be very inconvenient, Mo Yaoxiong explained persuasively. Mo Weiyi wrinkled her little nose, Is Auntie going to work as a teacher at Wellington? Wellington was the number one elite school in Nancheng, housing elementary, middle, and high schools. The students there were either third-generation government officials or super-rich second-generation kids. The requirements for teachers were incredibly strict. Without significant influence, it would have been impossible for Xu Jing to get in on credentials alone. Xu Jing confirmed as she smiled, Yes, Im going to teach violin there. Mo Weiyi looked at them silently, her clear almond-shaped eyes sparkling, not tainted by any impurities. Xu Jing felt inexplicably nervous under her gaze and hurriedly added, Once Ive settled into my job, Ill find my own place in the city. Moneys a bit tight at the moment. Upon hearing this, the elder Mo nodded in agreement, Then, you might as well stay here. Its not like we havent lived together before. Were relatives, so theres no need to be strangers. Right. Mo Yaoxiong took a sip of tea, It would also be convenient for you to chat with father whenever youd want. Master. Just then, a voice sounded. It was a servant, Master Xiao is back. We can start dinner.. Chapter 180 - Chapter 180:180, grown up in comfort Chapter 180:180, grown up in comfort Translator: 549690339 , As soon as he heard that Xiao Yebai was back, Mo Weiyi lost interest in anyone e se and immediately got up, leaning on his crutch, Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai walked in. He was wearing a handmade black suit, underneath, a spotless white shirt and a neatly tied dark tie. The spectacles on his handsome face added to his charm At first glance, he was scholarly and steady, with an inherent indifference and aloofness. Even the gauze on his forehead couldnt hide the fact that he was a handsome man. Qu Yunyaos eyes were shining as she watched him, her cheeks flushing pink. What happened? Yiyis foot is injured, and now Yebai his forehead is also injured? Xu Jing asked. The Mo family patriarch gave an embarrassed cough and left without saying a word, leaning on his crutch. Xiao Yebai nodded slightly at the two guests, didnt say anything, and helped Mo Weiyi to follow. Xu Jing stood there, feeling slightly awkward. Mom, Qu Yunyao asked quietly, Does Yiyi not like us being here? Dont be silly. I m not being silly, when I greeted her just now, she ignored me. Qu Yunyao pouted, looking anxious, Mom, does Yiyi not like me? Thats not true. Xu Jing comforted her daughter, Yiyi has been spoiled since she was little, thats just her personality. You need to gets along well with her and not overthink things, okay? Okay. ** The long dining table covered with a clean tablecloth was already laden with exquisite dishes. The Mo family patriarch sat at the head of the table, with Ms. Xu and Mo Yaoxiong sitting on either side. MO Weiyi and Xiao Yebai sat next to Mo Yaoxiong, while Xu Jing and Qu Yunyao sat across from them. During the meal, except for Xu Jing who was trying to make conversation the others didnt talk much. Qu Yunyao sat across from Xiao Yebai. When she saw Mo Weiyi get up and put a piece of beef into his plate Under the table, she suddenly lifted her foot and gently hooked it forward. Xiao Yebai paused noticeably in his movement. Qu Yunyao looked at him. Mo Weiyi also looked at him, Whats wrong, Xiaobai? The man raised his eyes slightly, his black eyes behind the glasses were cold and calm, Nothing. Ah, I forgot you dont like coriander, give it all to me. Mo Weiyi said, taking all the coriander from the piece of beef back to her own bowl. What a coincidence, my Yunyao also doesnt like coriander. Xu Jing said with a smile. Really? Mo Weiyi glanced at Qu Yunyao, Actually, I didnt like it before either But after staying in a dormitory, my best friend introduced me to it and now I love it all. Especially coriander, its so tasty, you guys are missing out. Yiyi was too picky when she was younger. Ms. Xu laughed, Its better now that she loves everything and doesnt gain weight no matter how much she eats. Qu Yunyao hooked her lips up slightly and lowered her head. ** After dinner, everyone returned to the living room. Grandma, it s getting late, why dont you stay here tonight and Ill have the driver take you home tomorrow. Mo Weiyi suggested. No, no, no, Im not used to sleeping here. Ms. Xu waved her hands. But I havent seen Grandma in so long. Mo Weiyi pleaded while holding Ms. Xus hand, Grandma, please stay with me tonight, would that be ok? Ms. Xu touched her hair and smiled with affection, Is it me you want to stay with you, or is it Yebai? Mo Weiyis pretty face turned bright red all of a sudden, she glanced shyly at Xiao Yebai beside her and then whispered, Can I have both? Her words made Ms. Xu burst into laughter, Alright, then Ill stay with Yiyi tonight and leave tomorrow. Ms. Zhou. Mo Weiyi immediately called out to the maid, Could you please get someone to clean up Grandmas room for me. Certainly, Princess. Mo Weiyi was happy. First half of the night with Grandma, second half of the night with Xiaobai Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone ringing startled them, Xiao Yebai stood up I need to take this call. Sure. Qu Yunyao sat there, her gaze fixed on the mans retreating back. He had taken off his suit jacket, and from the back, he looked striking in his simple white shirt and black dress pants. His height, long legs, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and scholarly demeanor were captivating. From the brief glance years ago to now, this man had undoubtedly become more mature and captivating. A charm distinct from the boys at her school. After a while, Qu Yunyao stood up, Mom, I need to use the restroom. Mo Yaoxiong spoke up, Ms. Zhou, please show our guest to the restroom. Of course, Miss, please follow me. Qu Yunyao followed Ms. Zhou out of the living room, they walked down the long corridor and finally pushed open a door, Miss, here is the bathroom. Thank you, Ms. Zhou. Youre welcome. Qu Yunyao pushed the door open and walked in. A light scent of lemon wafted out. The bathroom was spotless, with a sofa, flowers, potted plants, and various decorations. Every detail showcased the Mo familys wealth. Famous paintings hung on the walls, and various international luxury skincare products sat on the bathroom counter. Among them, a half-used bottle of perfume caught her eye. Qu Yunyao had seen it on TikTok, it cost over 20,000 RMB. Using such expensive perfume in the bathroom? Qu Yunyao couldnt help but marvel as she looked around. Were both daughters of the Xu family, so why is there such a big difference in our marriages? Chapter 181 - Chapter 181:181, having ulterior motives Chapter 181:181, having ulterior motives Translator: 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 relationship was never good. After Qu Zizuns company declared bankruptcy a few years back, their marriage started teetering on the edge of collapse. Arguments every three days, blowout fights every five, they finally divorced six months ago. What she couldnt accept 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 villa, 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 a lazy 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 accounts, theres been no deposit these few days. If youre really suspicious, we can ask the companys finance department to check on Mo Yaoxiongs accounts. 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 the companys account, 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 anything comes up. Alright. Also take care of the companys business. Whats wrong? Youve laid 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 dirty laundry in the Mo familys past. If they want to clean their slate, they wont have any convenience to break things off with these people. So they let you play 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 the lawn outside the balcony, holding her breath and listening, until the sound of footsteps disappeared completely. Then she turned around and went back the same way she came. ** In the living room, the projector was showing a comedy show on the big screen. When Mo Weiyi saw Xiaoyebai return, she immediately said, Xiaobai, come 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 it lasted, and remembered these very accurately. 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 playing it well. Xu Jing said with a smile, Dont rush. There is a process to learning the piano. I remember my brother-in-law is pretty good at playing 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-in-law 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 your last life, right? Chapter 182 - Chapter 182:182,1 can’t bear to listen anymore Chapter 182:182,1 cant bear to listen anymore Translator: 549690339 Being praised, Mo Weiyi was naturally quite delighted. She held onto Xiao Yebais arm, her laughter was charming and unrestrained. Ah. Qu Yunyao sighed, I do envy those who are musically gifted. Uncle, do I lack talent in that area? How could you be? Mo Yaoxiong could only comfort her. But no matter how hard I try, I cant play the piano well. My mom is a violinist, and I soon have my music exam, but recently there was no time to find someone to guide me. Isnt your brother-in-law here? Mo Yaoxiong looked at his son-in-law, Yebai, could you provide some guidance to Yunyao? Qu Yunyaos face immediately brightened, Really? Brother-in-law, can you guide me? All eyes were now focused on Xiao Yebai. He raised his eyelids, his voice steady and bland: I havent played in a while, I cant instruct. Qu Yunyaos expression fell as she let out a disappointed ah. Mo Yaoxiong quickly reassured, Yebai, go and give Yunyao some guidance. The piano room is cleaned by the servants every day, its quite convenient. Qu Yunyao put her hands together in a prayer-like gesture, her eyebrows furrowing as she pleaded softly, Brother-in-law, please, please. Seeing that Xiao Yebai was expressionless, Qu Yunyao turned to Mo Weiyi, Weiyi Sis, please, can you ask Brother-in-law to help me out? Im really afraid I wont pass the exam, I have already taken it twice. Her tone was soft, she really acted like an innocent little girl. Mo Weiyi said, Its already nine oclock. Asking her husband to tutor her at this time was a bit of a stretch. This girl was really inconsiderate! Just half an hour, please Weiyi Sis, Qu Yunyao begged. Mo Weiyi held onto Xiao Yebais arm, her face showing her displeasure. And so Weiyi, how can you be so thoughtless? Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows. Yunyao is about to take her music exam soon. Its not too much to just let Yebai guide her a little, its not a bother. This daughter of his was spoiled. At twenty years old, she still acted like a child, selfish and inconsiderate of the feelings of others. Mo Weiyi glanced at her father, and finally, pouted, Xiaobai, then you can give her some guidance. Thank you, Weiyi Sis, youre the best! Qu Yunyao smiled sweetly. Xu Jing also laughed, It is a bit late though, Yunyao, remember not to disturb your brother-in-law too much, okay? I know, just half an hour, I promise! Mo Weiyi looked at her, smiling outwardly, while inwardly cursing her. Due to the pressing situation, she had to let go of Xiao Yebais arm, allowing him to rise. Under the guidance of a servant, a man and woman headed towards the piano room in the back. ** The piano room was very clean, and its arrangement was cozy. In addition to the piano, there were all sorts of violins; all were works of famous craftsmen. Qu Yunyao knew that this used to be her aunts piano room. The women of the Xu Family all had high musical talent. Madam Xu was once a famous violinist in the country, and both daughters have made their own advancements in the music field, except for Mo Weiyi. She remembered that once, when she was young and visited the Mo Family, she saw Mo Weiyi in a red princess dress, sitting nobly, practising on the piano. But she couldnt play a simple Ode to Joy properly and was scolded by her aunt repeatedly At that moment, she couldnt help but let out a laughter due to Weiyis predicament, and was subsequently scolded harshly by Xu Jing. Well, born with such beauty and privilege, but ended up as an ignorant beauty, it seems that God was quite fair after all. Young Mistress, please use this piano. The servants voice rang out. Alright. Qu Yunyao walked over, lifted her hem, and elegantly sat in front of the piano. She glanced at the man seated on the sofa, and smiled at the corners of her lips. Then she placed her delicate hands onto the black and white keys of the piano. Soon, a series of notes began to flow from her fingertips. She played earnestly until the piece ended. Turning around, Qu Yunyao looked at the cultivated and indifferent man on the sofa, her tone soft, Brother-in-law, how did I do? Xiao Yebai had his head bowed, looking at his phone. His eyes were shielded by his glasses, masking his expression. He had no reaction upon hearing her words. Brother-in-law? Qu Yunyao raised her voice. Xiao Yebai lifted his head. Then. Play it again. Qu Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, Alright. She turned around and once again played the piece from beginning to end. After finishing the piece, she turned again, and found that Xiao Yebai was still in the same position as before. Brother-in-law? Just as she had anticipated, there was no reaction again. Qu Yunyao lifted the hem of her dress, rose from the chair, and slowly walked toward the sofa. The thick carpet absorbed the sounds of her high heels. Upon reaching the sofa, she stood there, quietly observing the handsome man before her. Unlike most men, Xiao Yebai had very fair skin, which gave him an additional sense of elegance and aloofness. The hand he held his phone with was slender, its joints clear and defined; it was no doubt a good hand for playing the piano. His face was also clean and fair, even more exquisite upon closer inspection than that of a womans skin. Qu Yunyao slowly raised her hand and reached out towards his face. Just as she was about to touch him, Xiao Yebai rapidly leaned back. I thought you were asleep. Qu Yunyao pulled back her hand, her heart racing, yet a sweet and pure smile hung on her face, Brother-in-law, were you listening to me play just now? Xiao Yebai put down his phone, his voice was indifferent and aloof, The piano sound was too frivolous, I couldnt bear to listen.. Chapter 183 - Chapter 183:183, you are my man. Chapter 183:183, you are my man. Translator: 549690339 I Really? Qu Yunyao kept her sweet smile, unfazed by the criticism, I just wanted to show my best to my brother-in-law, so I thought more about it, which might have affected my playing. No matter if its playing piano or doing things in general, Xiao Yebai hinted, Dont aim too high and blindly fantasize. Be aware of your own position. I understand what you mean, brother-in-law, Qu Yunyaos voice was gentle, Like some people, they are princesses from the moment they were born, receiving endless love and enjoying wealth and privilege. But some people can only be ugly ducklings, who may not even turn into swans. As long as you understand. Xiao Yebai replied indifferently. But brother-in-law, even though we cant change our birth, we can change our future with opportunities and effort. Like you, if the Mo Family hadnt adopted you coincidentally, provided you with the best education, sent you to America for further study and arranged your marriage with Yiyi, you might still be struggling in that small county. And you possibly wouldnt even know what a piano is, right? The room fell silent. Also, when I went to use the restroom just now, I accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up where you were making a phone call, Qu Yunyao asked innocently, What were you looking up, brother-in-law? Xiao Yebai observed her, his face expressionless, his eyes chilly. From beginning to end, no matter what she said, he showed no emotional fluctuation. Like the deep sea in the quiet of the night, he was inscrutable. Brother-in-law, Qu Yunyaos voice was soft, Dont you think we share some similarities? I too, like you, crave support and help, wanting to climb up and bid farewell to my past life. Would brother-in-law give me a helping hand? Xiao Yebais eyes narrowed slightly and he finally spoke, How can I assist you? Upon hearing his softened tone, Qu Yunyao was secretly delighted and hurriedly explained, I know that you are the Mo Familys CEO. Everything is tailored to your command. I wonder if youre interested in investing in films? Theres a movie thats currently seeking investors, directed by Suddenly, with a creak, the half-open door was pushed open from outside. Qu Yunyao turned around, Yiyi, youre here. What were you two talking about? Mo Weiyi stood at the door with the support of a cane, her sight shifting back and forth between the two. From her perspective, Xiao Yebai was sitting on the sofa and Qu Yunyao was standing in front of him. Even though they maintained a safe distance, they seemed Rather intimate. Especially with only the two of them in the room, a potentially troublesome situation. Coupled with Yebai being so charming. Mo Weiyi tilted her head, feeling a tiny bit unsettled due to her own suspicions. I have been struggling with a chord progression and was seeking some advice from your husband, explained Qu Yunyao. Oh. Mo Weiyi blinked, Are you done? Grandma said she wants to rest. Were almost done, answered Qu Yunyao, smiling, Thank you, Yiyi. Can I ask for more advice from you some other time if I still dont understand? Mo Weiyi looked at her. Your brother-in-law is very busy. Since you need the guidance so badly, Ill find you a piano teacher tomorrow, how does that sound? Really? Qu Yunyaos eyes lit up, unable to conceal her excitement, Thats great, thank you Yiyi. Mo Weiyi: At the bottom of her heart, the trace of doubt quickly dissipated. Forget it, this cousin is a year younger than her, said to have never dated, always busy with learning and practicing the piano she probably doesnt even think in terms of gender, does she? Yebai, help me take Grandma to rest. Xiao Yebai got up from his seat and walked over. Mo Weiyi was waiting, her left hand lifted, expecting him to help her stand. But when he got close, he picked her up immediately instead. Caught completely off guard, Mo Weiyi uttered a cry of surprise before hastily circling her arms around his neck. This way is easier, said Xiao Yebai, and, holding her close, he left. Qu Yunyao stood in her original spot, her smile deepening as she watched their retreating figures. ** Yebai. In the corridor, Mo Weiyi, laying in her husbands arms, probed him, Isnt my cousin very smart? What do you mean? She excelled in everything since childhood. She played piano, chess, practiced calligraphy and painting, and her academic performance was also outstanding. Mo Weiyi scrunched her nose, speaking in a soft voice, My mom used to compare me to her. Is that so? Yes. Mo Weiyi nodded, her voice sounding somewhat detached in the quiet night, Students like you, who have been excellent since childhood, wouldnt you have a lot to talk about if you were together? Xiao Yebai paused in his tracks. Then, lowering his gaze, he looked at the young girl in his arms. She was looking back at him, her beautiful cat eyes wide open, her skin smooth and fair. Her deep auburn curls spilled onto his arm and chest, soft and lustrous. There are not as many topics as with you, Xiao Yebai admitted calmly. Mo Weiyi was stunned. Despite his flat tone and almost unchanged expression, she couldnt help but feel sweetness bubble up inside her. Her lips curled upwards in a small smile, revealing her delight. But then she put on a stern face and retorted, Arrogant! Even if you have a ton of things to talk about with other women, you are still my man.. You will be my man for this entire lifetime! Chapter 184 - Chapter 184:184, Protect Mo Weiyi Chapter 184:184, Protect Mo Weiyi Translator: 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 accompany 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 villa at the southernmost corner. The villa, 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 old ladys room, Xiao Yebai went to the adjoining study to handle some company 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 you come 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 one last 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 into complete silence. His slender finger tapped twice on the black 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 plane, calculated 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 even come 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 plane 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 relationship, 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 place, 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 185 - Chapter 185:185, the weasel greets the chicken for the Chapter 185:185, the weasel greets the chicken for the New Year Translator: 549690339 But Just now, Xiao Yebai said that Mo Weiyi was completely unaware of everything she had done. Why? If Mo Weiyi dislikes her so much, why didnt he tell her about all the bad things she has been doing? Xiao Zhiwei didnt delude herself into thinking Xiao Yebai was protecting her, on the contrary, he was actually protecting Mo Weiyi, right? As for the reason Xiao Zhiwei didnt want to delve into it any further. After taking a deep breath, she picked up her phone once again and dialed a number. * * About an hour later. At half-past ten in the deep of the night, in a quiet study room, a WeChat notification tone sounded. Xiao Yebai picked up his phone and took a glance before shutting down his computer and headed to the guest room next door. Opening the room door. On the ancient carved bed, Mo Weiyi put a finger to her lips and gently shushed. Next to her, the elderly Xu lady had already fallen asleep. Xiao Yebai walked over, picked her up from the bed. Turn off the light for grandma. Mo Weiyi said quietly. After turning off the light and closing the door, Xiao Yebai finally carried her away. Returning to the upstairs bedroom, Mo Weiyi was placed on the couch. Just as he was about to leave Xiaobai, I just got a call from your sister. The mans body noticeably stiffened. Mo Weiyi had kept the same phone number all these years, so its not surprising that Xiao Zhiwei knew it. He turned around, the sharpness of his gaze softened behind his glasses, What did she want with you? She said shes returning to Tongcheng the day after tomorrow with your aunt and uncle, so she wanted me to visit her at the hospital tomorrow she also wanted to apologize to me, Mo Weiyi tilted her face, watching him with an innocent look, Do you think she has bad intentions? Xiao Yebai gave a small smile, Then you dont have to go. That wont do. Mo Weiyi refused, She invited me, why shouldnt I go? Itd seem as if Im scared of her. Xiao Yebai: I told her that you are going with me. Mo Weiyi said, her lips curling into a sweet smile, Lets make her give up for good. Youre my man, and she can only be your sister. A younger sister-in-law can never beat the older one. Xiao Yebai replied, I have an engagement tomorrow afternoon. It was obvious he meant to refuse. Mo Weiyi scratched her eyebrows, Then lets go to the hospital in the morning! Anyway, grandma will be leaving tomorrow morning, and I dont want to stay here with my aunts. Well go to the hospital to see your sister, and after our visit, you can drop me off at Lishui Bay, then you can go about your business. Does that sound good? The Little Princesss decisions are rarely subject to change. Xiao Yebai looked at her, eventually, he took off his glasses and placed them on the coffee table, Ill go prepare the bathwater. Alright. The man pushed the bathroom door open and went in, while Mo Weiyi sat on the couch before suddenly standing up. She had to dress up beautifully to meet her love rival tomorrow! jumping with excitement, she came before the wardrobe and opened its door. However Looking at the clothes hanging inside, Mo Weiyi was not satisfied. Ever since they got married, she rarely stayed at the old house, so there were not many clothes here, let alone jewelry. Moreover, they had just switched seasons, all her newly bought clothes were delivered to the villa in Lishui Bay. Mo Weiyi spent a long time browsing and eventually chose a chestnut pink dress, which matched her skin tone well. She seemed to have bought this dress at the beginning of spring this year. Although her figure hadnt changed much this year, some parts of her body, cough cough had slightly changed, so she had to try it on first. So when Xiao Yebai came out after preparing the bathwater, he saw Mo Weiyi standing in front of the closet. Under the light, her back faced him. She was innocent and oblivious. The princess who was well taken care of since childhood values her daily maintenance highly. She even studied ballet and folk dance for a time in her childhood. Although she wasnt very good, it resulted in her upright and slender figure, and her beautiful and straight white legs. Xiaobai Mo Weiyi heard his voice, then turned to look at him, I originally wanted to wear this pink one, but its a bit tight. Can you help me choose another one? How about this beige dress? She unfolded another beige long skirt, wanting him to see. Xiao Yebai walked up to her, his eyes deep without the concealing glasses, Why are you picking out clothes? Mo Weiyi suppressed her upward-curling lips, and said with unbearable bumpkisness, All these clothes I bought last year and the beginning of this year dont fit me anymore. 1 have to meet your sister tomorrow, of course, I have to dress up nicely. I cant embarrass you, can I? Xiao Yebai just replied, Oh. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but giggle under her breath. What to do? She felt like shes a demoness in Journey to the West trying to seduce the unmoving Tang Sanzang! Well, except for being quiet, Xiaobai is really quite similar to Tang Sanzang in other respects. However, Xiaobai may seem calm like Tang Sanzang usually, but once his emotions are stirred, hes a complete Casanova.. Chapter 186 - Chapter 186:186, Monk Tang Xiaobai Chapter 186:186, Monk Tang Xiaobai Translator: 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 Villa. In the living room, Xu Jing put down the phone, Its too late, Yiyi might be asleep, she didnt pick up. Qu Yunyao, dressed in a pure white onesie, looked upset, What should I do if my computer 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-in-law for help Mom, can you call Yiyi for me again? Yunyao, you cant be so unreasonable. Xu Jing educated her daughter, Its late, 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-in-laws 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 your computer? 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 glance 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 classmates. 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 her computer. Mo Weiyi immediately turned to look at Qu Yunyao, Whats wrong with your computer? My laptop suddenly wont turn on. I wanted to ask my brother-in-law for help last night, but I was afraid to disturb your rest. Qu Yunyao explained, looking across at the neat and gentle man, So after breakfast, can you help me check it out, brother-in-law? If the laptop 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 my laptop, its not as simple as getting a new computer Her voice gradually dropped, and she hung her head low. All right, let Yebai take a look at your computer. 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 - Chapter 187:187, lackey Chapter 187:187, lackey Translator: 549690339 Shes not related 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 hospital later. 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-in-law. 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 Bings computer. Rong An? Mo Weiyis bodyguard? Qu Yunyao frowned, But my computer seems to be virus-infected. Its complex, 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 downcast lashes 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-notch computer science major. Fixing computers 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 qualified computer science graduate? But since Mo Yaoxiong had put forth this suggestion, she couldnt really object. ** After lunch, Qu Yunyao, followed by the mysterious, black-clad bodyguard, headed towards West Garden Villa. They entered the living room. Wait here, Ill go grab my computer from the bedroom. She quickly went into her room and returned gripping her laptop. Seeing the bodyguard attempting to fix her computer 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-in-law look at it, alright? Yes. Qu Yunyao: Was he mute or deaf? Could he only respond with a single word? A while later, she heard the clatter 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 formulated 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 the computer. 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 glanced at the screen and answered the call, Rong An. Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Weiyi quickly turned her attention. Young Master Xiao, Miss Bings computer 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 up later. Oh. ** Forty minutes later, 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 discomfort flashed across Xiao Zhiweis face. Her hands clenched and unclenched beneath the blanket before she finally spoke, Im sorry. I was wrong in the past. I hope that as my sister-in-law, 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-in-law. 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 - Chapter 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? Translator: 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, you come 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 a comfortable 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 accident, 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 relatives 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 necklaces, 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 accident! You know, that bracelet was worth more than two hundred thousand. How come 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 the companys 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 glanced 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 to come back to his senses and finally enter Xiao Zhiweis ward.. Chapter 189 - Chapter 189:189, Setting a Trap Chapter 189:189, Setting a Trap Translator: 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 in laughter, Thats why they say youre my old flame. We do communicate well, dont we? So, you did see a beauty? said Xiao Zhiwei, with a cold laugh. 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 glared 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 flag-raising ceremony at eight oclock. Today was the first flag-raising ceremony of the term, and Su Wanwan didnt want to be late. 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 classmates see us? Chapter 190 - Chapter 190:190, President Huo’s image has collapsed. Chapter 190:190, President Huos image has collapsed. Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened, What does it matter if you saw it? This car of yours is way too expensive and flashy. What if my classmates 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 running late, 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. Explain before you leave. His voice was cold and angry, Whos the old man, hmm? Su Wanwan turned to glare at him, exasperated, Cant you be a bit more mature? She felt like ever since they got married, his cool demeanor had completely collapsed! Forget feeling mature and elegant, now hes just acting like a brat! Huo Jingshen glanced at her, raising an eyebrow leisurely upon hearing her comment. 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 black 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 classmates 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 class 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 please come earlier next time? All the classmates are here, except you. Do you even feel sorry? reprimanded Lin Qiao, clad 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 arts committee member in their class. Lin Qiao glared at her and turned around, Everyone, be quiet! The flag-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 flag-raising ceremony was over. Su Wanwan didnt see Mo Weiyi come over, so she gave her a call, Weiyi, are you coming 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 black 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! Beautiful lady 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 classes a week and you can earn academic credits! Su Wanwan grimaced, Sorry, Im not interested in ceramics.. Chapter 191 - Chapter 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand Chapter 191:191, Tear the bitch apart by hand Translator: 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 play games? Either on PC, or mobile? I play mobile games, Su Wanwan said decisively, Arena of Valor, PUBG, Speed Drifters, I can play 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 relationship, isnt it? Did they break up because of what happened in the classroom 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 Valor competition 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, play, and earn credits, all while playing 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 slap 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 slapped Lin Qiao right across the face. An Ah! of surprise, accompanied by the sound of a crisp slap, 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 flared after the initial shock. Being slapped 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 glasses, 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 flag, and now youre fighting? In front of so many classmates, 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 slap 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 classmates? Bullying? Su Wanwan looked at her, so angry she laughed, You dont even ask for clarification 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 - Chapter 192:192, Dressed up kind Chapter 192:192, Dressed up kind Translator: 549690339 | Half an hour later, 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 flag-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 demand compensation! 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 cold laugh, I told you last 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 flashed 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 to come 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 dirty laundry. 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 place? 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 successful 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 accepted 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 escalated to this, what other choice did she have? Chapter 193 - Chapter 193:193, Spend Money Like Water Chapter 193:193, Spend Money Like Water Translator: 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 you comes out at this time So for Dad to become 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 never come 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 glasses, 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 classes, Su Wanwan received a call from Mo Weiyi. They met at the entrance of the school cafeteria ten minutes later. The Little Princess was still dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with Rong An trailing not far behind in black. -Why did you come to school today? Su Wanwan was curious. Isnt there a Teachers Day gala this afternoon? I was bored at home, so I came to watch. The gala 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 Wanwan laughed. 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 a lavish 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 sent last 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 accompany us to the hospital. Su Wanwan was taken aback, Whats wrong, Grandma? Whos sick? Its your grandfather. His heart disease suddenly flared 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 have come to pick me up. Su Wanwan didnt have time to explain, I must go now, I may not be able to accompany you for the gala this afternoon.. Chapter 194 - Chapter 194:194, verbally reject but physically accept Chapter 194:194, verbally reject but physically accept Translator: 549690339 I Its alright, you go ahead, dont forget to call me later. 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, come up and eat with me. Princess, Im not hungry. But I dont want to eat alone, come 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 class? 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-year law students. The one speaking was Li Feifei, a classmate and roommate. A local from Nancheng, quite simple and plain 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, our law department has a dance program. Youve been injured, so you havent been able to come to classes. We considered asking you to be the lead dancer, Li Feifei flattered. Mo Weiyi laughed, 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 place, Li Feifei admired earnestly. Mo Weiyi had seen a lot of such flattery. Right now, she gave a bland 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 flashed 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 Gucci dress! Yeah, yeah! Envious and admiring comments from the crowd made Li Feifei feeling very proud, but she acted aloof on the surface. Just now, she saw Mo Weiyi coming to the canteen for dinner. She guessed that Mo Weiyi would come 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 the law 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 accessories would be photographed by interested parties and posted on the school forum. Then everyone would comment 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 foreign company. This prompted a wave of praises: So your boyfriend is a white-collar 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 classic 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 her composure. 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 explained 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 - Chapter 195:195, show operation Chapter 195:195, show operation Translator: 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 would come together to celebrate, but due to the issue with Su Yanyan, not only did Huo Jingshen not come, 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 Jingshen later, 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 explained, 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 glanced 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 a complete one-eighty, he reportalmost cheerfully: Old Lady Huo, Little sister-in-law, dont worry, Grandpa Sus condition has stabilized. After the medication takes effect, he should wake up. Then, he laughed and asked, When can my big brother come? 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-in-law, 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 expression completely 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 accusation would have really been placed on little sister-in-law! 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 glancing 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 class 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 to come. 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, completely donned in a meticulous and mature elite look, yet in his hand was a phone with a black 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 particular due to being a Virgo. He always paid great attention to the taste of life. When did he start to like these playful 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 - Chapter 196:196, eating dog food Chapter 196:196, eating dog food Translator: 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 place! 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-in-law is okay, but it will take some time for him to wake up. SuWanwan: =,=! Even the old lady knows about flaunting 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 glance, 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 hehe laughed 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 me last 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 time comes, 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 plants 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 playfully, Why would you say that? There are no customers here, and its decorated very lavishly. 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 glasses, 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 glanced 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 were coming for lunch? After saying this, Chu Xiuhuang looked at Su Wanwan, Little sister-in-law, you were unsupportive last 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 ring lazily, 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 slammed it on the table arrogantly. She didnt speak, just gave him a sidelong glance. Pff! Chu Xiuhuang burst out laughing, 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 - Chapter 197:197, lack of virtue in the Five Elements Chapter 197:197, lack of virtue in the Five Elements Translator: 549690339 Sweetie, dont stoop to his level, Huo Jingshen comforted his miffed wife, hes lacking in love, and therefore hes envious. How come I havent noticed him lacking 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 he lacks 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 slandered. 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 screenplay 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 successful 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 becoming bolder by the minute! Challenging him from time to time, and now she dared to hang up on him? Needs punishment! A few minutes later, 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 plastic 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, come 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 black 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 the company and his subordinates or bosses from other companies 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 glance, 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 oclock late 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 playing football. Suddenly. Rong An, stop the car, stop! The black Audi came to a sudden halt by the side of the road.. Chapter 198 - Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop Chapter 198:198, smashing the shop Translator: 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 playing. 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 claimed 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 successful business? So, youve only been open for a few months. That explains 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, come over here. The boy named Xiaojun quickly ran over. The store owner bent down, cast a warning glance 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 old lady to their eyes? The boy glanced 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 slander 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, come here! Rong An, who had been watching from afar, promptly walked over. He was a tall, well-built man in a black 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 Weiyis command, 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 hour later, Mo Weiyi stormed into the villa, fuming. Rong An followed behind her, his face expressionless. In the living room, Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa, pouting and glaring 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 cabinet. Princess, this was delivered yesterday. Mo Weiyi glanced 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 accepted 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 - Chapter 199:199, nauseous! Chapter 199:199, nauseous! Translator: 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 was large, and aside from the driver, Old Liu, several maids also come 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 misplaced. 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 foreign company 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 200,000 compensation 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 military compound, 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 is coming 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-in-law, 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 Chu laughed 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 - Chapter 200: 200, deal! Chapter 200: 200, deal! Translator: 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 is coming 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 exclaimed, 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-in-law is absolutely stunning! ** The beautiful granddaughter-in-law was currently shivering in the passenger seat. Huo Jingshen had come 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 to comfort 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 place, but still Maybe KO hadnt been brought out for a while. Just a few minutes into the drive, they passed by a large 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 black 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, almost completely 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 was complete 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. Seeking comfort. 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 become the first dog in Nancheng to be kicked out of a car and to run home by itself. Huo Jingshen also patted the little lady 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 small lass 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 and comforted 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 black 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 district compound 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-in-law. Su Wanwan quickly lifted her head. Lord Chu, a skinny, elderly man dressed in a black 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 - Chapter 201: 201, killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own Chapter 201: 201, killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of your own Translator: 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 glance. The young girl had bright and white teeth and was dressed simply, carrying a refreshing air about her. In contrast, his grandsons companions were flashy, 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 similar circumstances. Both had lots of grandchildren, now of age, and yet none of them had settled down. As a result, both families often compared 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. Alas, 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 explained, laughing. 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 explain, They both look handsome. Of course, they look alike! So thats how it is. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Despite laughing, Mr. Chu silently lamented. Handsome? Are they as handsome as my Ahuang? Do they? Xiuhuang should be coming soon. Huo Jingshen interjected. Hearing that, Mr. Chu snorted loudly, Give me a break! That unfilial grandson of mine, gallivanting around with no regard, playing the field. Not a single decent girl among them, all internet 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. How come 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. He lacks 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. He completely tarnished my reputation! Seriously, what sins did the Chu family commit 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 glance, 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 blankly 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 a laugh, Go on, bring over the red envelope.. Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: 202, son of a dog Chapter 202: 202, son of a dog Translator: 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 placed 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 mans lapse, 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 playing 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 play 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 class tomorrow. Huo Jingshen pursed his lips, glancing 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 villa. 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 alarmed 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, come 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 become challenging. At home it was disliked, and here, it was still disliked! * * Half an hour later, at the Imperial Court villa. 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 classmate 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, flattering him, The English homework you helped me write last time was praised by the teacher! They said you write very well! Huo Jingshen squinted his black pupils, Are you addicted to ordering me around? Did this girl become 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 - Chapter 203: 203, new officials take office with Chapter 203: 203, new officials take office with Translator: 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 classes 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 class this morning, how she wished she could skip classes 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 class schedule later. Su Wanwan: Send you my class 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 clad 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 black 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. A commotion erupted outside the elevator: Whats up with President Huo lately? He comes to the company before nine oclock every day, so much pressure! Hes not going to run another company discipline overhaul, right? Didnt he just lay 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 slacking off in your work. Ji Jie blurted out, President Huo, I apologize, I shouldnt have played games during work hours. Even though it was just past nine in the morning. Huo Jingshen looked at him, his black eyes narrowing. Playing 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 black he was dead. Damn, does President Huo have x-ray vision? He could see him playing 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 glances. * * Nancheng University. Su Wanwan walked into the classroom and had just sat down. Su Wanwan. A chubby girl suddenly came over, Can you dance? Why? Theres a welcome party coming up at school, and our class has to present two performances, you Im not participating. Su Wanwan stated firmly, completely unaware that No way, Lin Qiao insists that you, as a new student, must actively participate in class 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 class life committee member lets discuss this together after class. Okay. Su Wanwan felt helpless. After Zhao Qianqian left, she quickly picked up her phone. It was a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi. [Wanwan, Ill come 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 look lazy yet sweet, Theres no need to clean up today, accompany me to the school later. Jiang Auntie nodded, Alright. After a while, Xiao Yebai descended the stairs. He was tall and slender, impeccably dressed in a sharp black suit, without a single wrinkle, and paired with his scholarly glasses, 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 - Chapter 204: 204, a toad wants to eat swan meat Chapter 204: 204, a toad wants to eat swan meat Translator: 549690339 When they reached the dining table, Xiao Yebai set her down on a chair and said, I need to head to the company. 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 glasses 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, her complaints coming 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 glanced 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 black 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 be late. If youre running late, 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 plan 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 the company 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 was coming 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 class leader for a class schedule last night. There were two International Economics Law classes this morning. As soon as she walked into the classroom, 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 class early in the morning! Except for using a crutch, she was still as gorgeous and attractive as ever. Mo Weiyis eyes swept over the classroom, but she couldnt spot Li Feifei. Just then, the professor walked in. Class 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 suppressed laughter 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 hour later. Aunt Jiang received a message from Mo Weiyi and quickly headed to the classroom. 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 together last week. Aunt Jiang, why did you come to school? Ah, I was passing by, just having a look. But Li Feifei noticed Aunt Jiangs attire. It was completely 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, come 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 tone lazy yet arrogant, Aunt Jiang, do you. know my classmate? Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: 205, the whole world’s parents’ hearts are pitiful Chapter 205: 205, the whole worlds parents hearts are pitiful Translator: 549690339 When she got there, Mo Weiyi flicked her long hair with a tone full of lazy arrogance, Aunt Jiang, how do you know my classmates? 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 your company is planning 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 to come across a similarly 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 villa, the dozens of properties, the branch companies 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 classmates, bragging about how rich her boyfriend was and how well he treated her, but now everything was a lie! She felt like a laughingstock because the status she had been flaunting 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 people coming out of the classroom, 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, lacking 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 the commotion. 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 poor lady ** Meanwhile, at the Mo Group. In the top-floor conference room, Xiao Yebai was sitting on a black leather chair, quietly looking at the screen projection. His glasses accentuated 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 her lap.. Chapter 206 - Chapter 206: 206, Handsome Man Chapter 206: 206, Handsome Man Translator: 549690339 President Xiao, what you just saw are the trailers for the series of films EMC Company plans 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 black pen. Light from the window cast into the room, causing reflections on his glasses, 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. The large 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 slammed the data onto the conference table, abruptly stood up, anger flaring 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 slammed 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 remained composed 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 scholarly 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 quickly composed 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 have come prepared, presenting the most exciting parts? Xiao Yebai, with his soft voice but compelling 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 visible commercial 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 was completely stunned. An elegant man adorned in a suit, tie, and thin-rimmed glasses 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 a comprehensive 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 uncontrollable 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 glance, then stood up, Zhong Kai. Zhong Kai also quickly stood up, President Xiao.. Chapter 207 - Chapter 207: 207, princess and prince? Chapter 207: 207, princess and prince? Translator: 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 our last 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 villa 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-in-laws review. I didnt expect that How is it related 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 the company, 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 the companys internal and external affairs, becoming 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 is completely fine. Now it only needs a financial injection for the following work, I believe as long as it is launched on the market, it will certainly be a great hit. Mo Yaoxiongs eyebrows furrowed, What exactly is your relationship 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, and later 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 relatives, 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 plan. 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 glanced at the time. Was it almost noon? Had Su Wanwans class not ended yet? Why was she taking university so seriously for? She pulled out her phone and launched another text bomb. Finally, twenty minutes later. 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 - Chapter 208: 208, Mo Weiyi’s black post Chapter 208: 208, Mo Weiyis black post Translator: 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 slandering 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 flamboyantly. 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 classes to go to bars. The two of them were not only on the dormitory managers blacklist but also popular figures on the school forum. Countless posts were made to slander them, attempting to spread rumors about them. She thought she was already accustomed to such things. Mo Weiyi said, Im not afraid of slander, but I also need to maintain my image, dont I? After all, Im married now. She has to consider Xiaobais feelings. And being wrongly accused and tarnished would certainly upset him. Su Wanwan took out her phone and laughed, Lets see. To her surprise, there really were slanderous 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 slanderous 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 flashed 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 who comes 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 welcome party, does our class have a program? Mo Weiyi asked. One of the girls answered, Yes, our class 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 playing Todo Shizu and was memorizing lines just now. That sounds great, Ill definitely come 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 club committee 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. The committee member said with a smile, Thank you so much. Without your familys sponsorship, our departments activities each semester would not have been so successful. 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 - Chapter 209: 209, Pretend to Forgive Chapter 209: 209, Pretend to Forgive Translator: 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 glanced 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 accept 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 classmates 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 flashed 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 relaxed. AnywW Mc Wei,| ?? b?? lnt0 , ?akhy to a wonderful man. Her life was already perfect. Since freshman year, she has been flaunting her opulence and only attended school a few times. 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 villa. 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 petulant 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 glanced 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, come here and help me choose which necklace looks better? Aunt Jiang rushed over. There were several pearl necklaces in the jewelry box on the table The Ut Aunt Jiang pretended to compare them and picked one, This pink one is pretty nice, it complements your skin tone. Really? MO Weiyi picked up the pink necklace and compared 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 Jiang come back to work. What did Li Feifei say? Su Wanwan laughed and said, Without some compensation 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 talk later. Its almost io:ooam. I have to go to the discipline committee to hand in my reflection. Sure.. Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: 210, Self-criticism Letter Chapter 210: 210, Self-criticism Letter Translator: 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, comparison is the thief of joy. The discipline director slammed 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 glare, 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-in-law of the Huo Family, Mr. Huo need not worry about your school affairs Blah, blah, blah. 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 minutes later, 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 successfully 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 plan 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 glance 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 be complacent too soon. Just wait, there will come 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 you come 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 into laughter. 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 surveillance 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 playing 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 - Chapter 211: 211, my soul has been hooked away Chapter 211: 211, my soul has been hooked away Translator: 549690339 Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo? Huo Jingshen, seated at the head of the conference table, held his phone in his distinctively slender and articulated fingers, seemingly frozen in place. 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 become distracted during the meeting. Mr. Huo, do you have any thoughts about the plan for the upcoming event? Huo Jingshen raised an eyelid slightly, his response seemingly unrelated to the question, Why isnt Xiuhuang here today? Chu has an important date today. Shi Huan adjusted his glasses, maintaining his composure. There was a small curl on Huo Jingshens lips. The old Chu really was Untouchable. If Mr. Huo has any opinions regarding the plan, today might be a good chance to discuss with Bingos representative directly, since its our partners first time joining us. Upon hearing that, the other company 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 collaborate 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 are coming 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 the comer, Shen Bingbing clicked her tongue, I thought I was committed, 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 but laugh, 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 but laugh. After working in the industry for so many years, shes seen all sorts of relationships between men and women. Its given her a piercing insight. From the moment she arrived at Huos company, 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 plate at home and also love to play outside. If youre really interested in him, there will be plenty of opportunities to get closer. So how about this, a little later 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 Huos company 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 planner of the event, can justify bringing a newcomer 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 similar. As an old classmate, 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 and laughed as they left the conference room. Reaching the underground parking garage shortly after exiting the elevator, they saw a black 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 glance 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 - Chapter 212: 212, Class Monitor Fu Ziyang Chapter 212: 212, Class Monitor Fu Ziyang Translator: 549690339 There was a cough, followed by the sudden abrasive ringtone of a cell phone. Forgot to mute the ringer This attracted even more glances from her classmates. Su WanWan hastily answered the call, whispering, Whats up? Come out. Huh? She glances towards the door of the reading room. No one Seeming to have clairvoyance, the man over the phone said in a deep voice, Come to the school gate. What are you planning to do? Su WanWan was bewildered. Had this guy really come 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 lunch later, after eating I have to discuss a program with classmates, 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, Accompany your husband to a parent-teacher meeting. ** Ten minutes later, 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 glanced 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 classroom. 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 black 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 become a mother in the future, will you Whos becoming 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 place. What program were you talking about just now? Huo JingShen suddenly asked again. Oh. Su WanWan said, The school is organizing a welcome 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 classroom. 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 exclaiming, Our Ziyang is so classy! 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 relaxed 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 class have a class grass? Who is it? She wanted to see who the class 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 classroom 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 applause resonated. Actually, we called everyone here today mainly to discuss this semesters teaching plan. As you all know, we at Wellington focus not only on academic achievements but also on fostering childrens hobbies and Sorry, sorry, Im late. A crisp female voice suddenly rang out.. Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: 213, Straightforward Steel Man Chapter 213: 213, Straightforward Steel Man Translator: 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 classroom. As she got near, she looked up and saw Huo Jingshen sitting there. Even though she was wearing thick-rimmed glasses and her black 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 wearing large black-rimmed glasses, her shoulder-length hair was unstyled, and her face was mostly obscured by her glasses and hair, revealing only her fair forehead and a small part of her face. She was dressed in a simple black 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 you late again? Sorry Luoluo, my car was restricted today, so I had to take a taxi. Ill take you to Pizza Hut later, 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 porcelain-white face featured a pair of beautiful, big black 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 class 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 gate last time, the one with two pigtails and a lollipop in her mouth. She said with a laugh, This ones cute too. Fu Ziyang nodded his little head nonchalantly, 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 mothers lap, 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, quickly comfort 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 classroom returned to its quiet state. After the lengthy speech, the teacher handed out a form. Each student had to select two interest classes 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 accompanied 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 classroom. Her phone suddenly rang, and Su Wanwan took a glance at it before standing up, I need to take a call outside. Whos calling? Huo Jingshen asked. A certain uncle.. Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: 214, is the baby jealous? Chapter 214: 214, is the baby jealous? Translator: 549690339 The call was from Zhou Teng. As soon as it connected, he asked, Miss, can you come 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 accuse you. You must not blame him. That would be devastating for him. Su Wanwan tightly gripped her cell phone and after a long time, said simply, Oh. Miss, dont blame 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 blame 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 classroom. 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 young lady? The young lady 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 glared 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. Black 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 had come 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 without commenting. 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 flatter 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 wont laugh 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 class 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 - Chapter 215: 215, less is more Chapter 215: 215, less is more Translator: 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 also coming 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 black suit, immaculate 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, come 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 glanced 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, glanced 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 classes. 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 but laugh. 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 glared at her slantingly, 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 glared 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 classroom. 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 - Chapter 216: 216, you are the pig. Chapter 216: 216, you are the pig. Translator: 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 Jingyi laughed lightly, naturally adopting an air of superiority, When I first walked into the classroom, 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, however compared 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 glanced at the time, I have to rush back to the company. Ill have to leave first. Whats the rush? Chu Jingyi spoke in a languid tone, Does Ahuang know about your daughter? Shi Huan looked up. Behind her thick glasses 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 such large glasses 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 classroom. 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 Im late, Chu Shao will deduct my salary. 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 classroom, just as he sat down Fu Ziyang! Yang Xiaoyuan stood with her small chubby hand placed on her hip, commanded, 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 become 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 played coyly, Mrs. Huo, huh? As Mrs. Huo glanced 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 glance at him, too lazy to waste more words, she immediately made moves to get out of the car, Were gathering in ten minutes. If Im late, 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 planning her next moves in her mind. Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: 217, come on, let’s hurt each other. Chapter 217: 217, come on, lets hurt each other. Translator: 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 you later. 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 but laugh softly before driving off. Not much later, his phone that was on the dashboard suddenly lit up. He glanced 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 Xiuhuang laughed 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. How come I heard that my sister used to visit you quite often in England? 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 up lately. 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 wont laugh anymore, okay? Come out tonight for a get- together. Ill get Xiao San to explain TikTok to you in detail. You cant refuse, okay? When was the last 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 classroom, 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 glanced 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 classroom 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 hour late and yet still complain? Su Wanwan glanced at her, Im sorry, I didnt realize I had put my phone on silent. And, I wasnt aware that the classroom 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 literature committee if I could withdraw now? Of course not. Lin Qiao said with a triumphant look, The show was already decided on earlier. Our class will present two acts. And since you are a newcomer, you will present a solo act. A solo act? Su Wanwan frowned immediately, Did you do this on purpose? You didnt come here earlier. The class 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 - Chapter 218: 218, Development of Allies Chapter 218: 218, Development of Allies Translator: 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 too late 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 class activities? Zhao Qianqian quickly tried to mediate, Alright, alright, lets not fight. Were all from the same class Lin Qiao said, I dont want to fight either, but as you saw, shes not answering the phone. Now she claims that she doesnt want to participate! Does she think shes some princess? The whole school already submitted the program list this morning. To accommodate her, I submitted our application at the very last 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 class. 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 claim of bullying, Su Wanwan swept her eyes over them, conveying an unexplainable 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, compared 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 class 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 blame yourself. Exactly, youre doing great! Youre just looking out for our class. 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 manipulated. Can you sing? Dance? Or maybe play an instrument? Zhao Qianqian exhaustively tried to come 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 class. 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 classroom when she had been scared by Mo Weiyis bodyguard into apologizing on the spot, she had already lost face in front of her classmates 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 accused of deliberately taking revenge. It seemed that playing the victim was more effective. She had been too impulsive in the past. Lin Qiao was feeling smug Is the class monitor absent? Upon hearing Su Wanwans words, Lin Qiaos expression changed. Why is this bitch looking for Jiang Shuhao? The class 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 together later? Zhao Qianqian suggested. Su Wanwan glanced at Lin Qiao. Zhao Qianqian seemed to be the life committee 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 together later. Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: 219, cannot fight against Chapter 219: 219, cannot fight against Translator: 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 playing games? Zhao Qianqian replied, During the summer holidays at home, my brother got me into playing 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 glance at Su Wanwan and advised, We are preparing for the welcoming party, and we need to prepare for our English CET-6 exams coming 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 play? The moment the topic turned to gaming, Zhao Qianqians attention was completely diverted, I play as mages, Angela, Daji, Xiaoqiao! Perfect! I play 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 play in the jungle too? Thats seriously awesome! Youre the first girl Ive seen who can play jungler! Just normal, Luna, Li Bai, Nakoruru, Han Xin With every hero mentioned, Zhao Qianqians eyes would brighten. lean play all of them! Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, totally full of herself. In this game, what female players like the most is to be carried by a skilled jungler player. 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 hour later, 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 glasses 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 slapped Lin Qiao last time, right? Little chili pepper indeed. You sure have exotic taste. The vice president who spoke was in charge of recruiting last time. Hed witnessed the entire exchange between Su Wanwan and Lin Qiao last time. Man, being tall and handsome definitely gets you far, with girls willing to fight over him, even to the point of physical clashes Jian Shuhao gave his friend a sidelong glance, 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 welcome 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 accepted the transfer, Thanks, hubby! Unexpectedly, the old man finally showed some conscience. Who knew If you really want to thank me, come back and keep me company 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-criticism last time, he dared not play 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 welcoming 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 welcoming party at Nancheng University personally? Any problem? Huo Jingshen shot a dagger glare 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 welcoming party at Nancheng University? And he wont allow it to be publicized? This is so accessible to the people Not like Mr. Huo at all! Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: 220, another necklace was lost again. Chapter 220: 220, another necklace was lost again. Translator: 549690339 For the next few days, everything was calm. Su Wanwan first went to the driving school and finally completed the third subject. The rest of her time was spent in preparation for her upcoming performance. Mo Weiyi didnt come 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 necklace missing. Did you mark them? Su Wanwan asked. Those necklaces 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 villa. 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, How come 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 most common for a CEO of Mo Family, she couldnt help but feel upset! It was all too sudden! She had thought that he was coming 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 villa 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 explain, 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 to come out a moment later, 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 week late. 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 week late, its irregular, you should see a doctor about it and maybe get some medication to regulate 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 week late 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 glasses, his eyes were a little hazy. Leaning slightly, he removed his glasses and placed 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 replaced 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 yet commanding. Unlike other men, his skin was particularly fair, with the well-defined muscle structure adding to his masculinity, exuding a strong aura of male hormones.. Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: 221, Immortal beauty Chapter 221: 221, Immortal beauty Translator: 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 glanced 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 we last 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 koala. 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 me company. A speck of helplessness flashed 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 you come 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 unbecoming of a lady 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 his company, 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, Then come stay at the old house. I dont want to, have Aunt Zhou come and keep me company instead.. Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: 222, Little Princess Chapter 222: 222, Little Princess Translator: 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 black market trading. He was known in the underworld as Lord Yan of Mo, notorious for his volatile and irascible temper. Although he later 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 grandsonin-law, 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 Mo laughed, Also, whats-her-name has been away and never comes 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 flashed 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 plans, 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 you come 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 black dress, covered with a deep coffee-colored coat and wore brick-red lipstick that contrasted with her fair skin. She exhibited a sort of classical charm. The silent, noble, and cold look at this moment gave her a particularly 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 the laundry. 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 was completely 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 - Chapter 223: 223, Welcome Party Chapter 223: 223, Welcome Party Translator: 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 accident. 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 salary was double compared 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 to come back to work the next day without any further suspicion on her. ** In the afternoon, Nancheng University. The welcoming 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 will come 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 black 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 Welcome 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 Huo coming 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 glaring 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 - Chapter 224: 224, Smelly Man Chapter 224: 224, Smelly Man Translator: 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 Quans lascivious laughter 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 class monitor. Another classmate 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 young ladies had chauffeurs to transport them, so they would never be out alone. In that case, he needed to alter his plans. 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 class 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 a last-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-colored lace dress, crystal high heels, and a small princess crown on her carefully arranged hair. At first glance, she really did resemble Todo Shizu. Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: 225, Boss Huo Chapter 225: 225, Boss Huo Translator: 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 play 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 welcome! 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 black 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 flash 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 classmate 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 anyone compare 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 226 - Chapter 226: 226, rating nepotism Chapter 226: 226, rating nepotism Translator: 549690339 As for down on the stage, Mo Weiyi was also pretty frightened. This Mr. Huo is too outstanding, isnt he? Knowing that Wanwan was performing today, he had personally come over to cheer her on? Thinking of Xiaobai, who was far away on business in Haicheng, Mo Weiyi couldnt help being upset, and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Yebai using his mobile phone. [Xiaobai, call me when you are free!] * * VIP seats. The head teacher nervously rubbed his hands, Mr. Huo, I didnt expect you to come in person this time; Im truly sorry for not having prepared a better welcome. Its fine. After speaking, Huo Jingshen looked at the pen and paper in front of him, What is this? Oh, there will be a selection process for todays evening party, so we need to score the participants. Score? Huo Jingshen slightly smiled, May I have the honour of being a judge? Of course, of course! The head teacher quickly handed all his pencils and papers to Huo Jingshen. After a while, he couldnt help but speak again, Mr. Huo, does Mrs. Huo know that you are here? Low profile. Huo Jingshen only said two words. The head teacher found this statement rather profound. Low profile? He nodded, Alright, alright, I understand. The Huo Family is the richest family in Nancheng, and this Huo Jingshen is the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. Ever since Mr. Huo retired a few months ago, he became the rightful heir to Huo Yuan Group. If they keep him happy, what else do they have to worry about? What does South University have to worry about? So, since Mr. Huo doesnt want people to know about his relationship with Su Wanwan, they must help keep it a secret. * * Su Wanwans performance was scheduled third from last. When she finished changing her clothes and came backstage, she heard Jian Shuhao announce, Mr. Huos score is, six points! Su Wanwan wanted to hit someone after hearing this. Damn! Huo Jingshen is in charge of scoring too? Ha, an old guy like him, how could he understand the young peoples performances? But knowing that she had to go on stage later to perform a dance for young people, she felt comically embarrassed! Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. Su Wanwan took a look. Huo Jingshen: Baby, which number is your performance? Su Wanwan: She sneaked behind the curtain to peek out at the stage. That jerk was sitting there, openly looking down at his phone. Su Wanwan: What kind of judge is this? Theres still a performance on stage! Is he openly checking his phone? Her phone rang again, Huo Jingshen sent it again, Perform well later, dont embarrass your husband. Su Wanwan hastily replied, Take your scoring seriously, dont let people think I have special privileges! After all, she had practiced hard for a week and she wanted to achieve a real ranking based on her merit. Otherwise, she wouldnt have concealed her relationship with him earlier. Huo Jingshen replied immediately, So baby, you like this kind of sneaky excitement? Su Wanwan again: Whats going on here? Its simply impossible to communicate! Finally, as another performance ended with the scores given, Jian Shuhao started the announcement holding the microphone, Next, we have Su Wanwan from the third grade of the Journalism Department performing a solo dance, Crooked. Lets give her a big round of applause! After a round of applause, the lights in the hall were extinguished. Su Wanwan touched her anxious heart, and picked up her hat, stepping onto the stage in the darkness. The venue also quieted down completely. After a few seconds, the prelude of a string of electric sounds rang out, and a beam of light from the back of the auditorium hit the stage. In the light, a boy stood with his back facing the audience.. Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: 227, Treasure Girl Chapter 227: 227, Treasure Girl Translator: 549690339 He is dressed all in black, tall and slim. The left foot, tucked into a black stiletto, is slightly raised, revealing a small section of his pale ankle beneath his ankle-length black pants. One hand casually rests upon the waist, the other supporting a black Fedora hat. Its the classic Michael Jackson look. His appearance erupts into a thunderstorm of applause. Afterward, as an intense, cheerful rock-n-roll accompaniment bursts forth, he turns and begins to dance to the JAZZ rhythm. The performances so far have been just skits or small choral presentations at most, maybe some magic tricks. This is the first powerhouse singing and dancing act, and an excellent one at that, precise and decisive, quickly igniting the audience with his breathtaking performance. Among the flashy stage lights, Huo Jingshen sat there, serene and elegant, slightly tilting back in his chair, his long beautiful eyes locked onto the stage. His wife is dancing. And shes cross-dressed. But evidently, most of the audience hasnt realized that the performer is a woman. Not until the chorus heightened, Su Wenwen abruptly took off her hat and tossed it into the audience. A torrent of dense, stunning black curls cascaded down in an instant. The crowd gasped. Its a beautiful girl! Her face was marked with bold smoky makeup, beautiful because of her delicate features, flirting with smoke and style. Close to five foot seven, sleek, with a small frame, slender and upright. Add that to the cool dance moves earlier, if one doesnt notice her seductive seaweed-like long, black, curly hair, it would be hard to tell her gender at a glance. She looked exactly like the androgynous pretty boys popular on television screens these days. Catcalls filled the venue. The atmosphere seemed even more agitated. As the final note fell, Su Wenwen halted her movements and turned around, flinging off her jacket in a further display of her carefree attitude. The atmosphere was instantly boosted to the highest stratosphere. The boys howled, clapped, cheered, and whistled The whole hall was filled with enthusiasm, as if the roof was about to be blown off. Huo Jingshen still sat there calmly, eyes half-closed, his handsome brows slightly raised, his fingertip unconsciously traced the pen in his hand. But the next second Su Wenwen picked up her jacket, ignoring the screams and pleas of the crowd, and darted off the stage like a gust of wind. Where is the confidence and flamboyance in her dance? A suppressed chuckle rose up, Heh. Huo Jingshen curved his thin lips as he expanded his brows, his handsome face full of amusement, as if dusted with spring breeze. His darling really is an inexhaustible treasure, it seems. The dean of instruction next to him saw this and hurriedly took up his pen to give a score. 10 points! This has to be 10 points! * * Behind the backstage curtain stood Lin Qiao, nearly tearing the curtain to shreds with her clenched hands. She truly never expected Su Wanwan to steal the spotlight again! As she recalled during high school, Su Wanwan not only underperformed academically but also lacked artistic talent and often stayed out all night. Could all these dances have been learnt at nightclubs? They must have been! Throwing her hat and stripping her coat, its simply vulgar! Lewd! Disgraceful! Wow, I didnt expect Su Wanwan to dance so well! Mainly because shes cross-dressing. So cool! I think she could make the top three! She really dances well. Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: 228, First Place Chapter 228: 228, First Place Translator: 549690339 What was so good about her dancing? Lin Qiao couldnt help but interrupt, Back in high school, she was not a diligent student. She was always out till late, either in bars or nightclubs. For her, this kind of dance is childs play! Thats right, Lin Qiao, I think you mentioned once that you were in the same class in high school, right? Another girl from her dorm seemed to recollect. Yes. Lin Qiao nodded, She used to hang out in nightclubs every day, what kind of dance doesnt she know? I even saw her pole dance and strip before. Maybe next time we should let her perform a strip dance? Most female college students considered themselves to be respectable girls and looked down on those who frequent nightclubs and bars. They are invariably thought of as bad girls. As expected. Haha! Someone laughed mockingly, If she really were to strip, Im afraid the headteacher would faint from shock. Exactly, after all, we have to maintain our image. The school leaders prefer positive and enthusiastic performances. Club girls like her are dime a dozen! Who wants to watch her! At least this one we get to watch for free! Haha, a free strip show, huh Listening to the conversation around her deteriorating, Lin Qiao finally felt a bit relieved. ** After Su Wanwan stepped off the stage, she immediately went to the restroom to remove all her makeup. Since reforming herself in Los Angeles, she hadnt worn such bold, smoky makeup in a long time. Wearing it felt like a mask and made her feel like a different person entirely. Originally, she thought that by dressing up like this, nobody would remember or recognize her and she could throw herself into dance without any misgivings. Who knew that Huo Jingshen would suddenly show up?! When she was performing on stage earlier, to be honest, she was extremely nervous initially. That feeling was like when she was very young, taking part in performances at school. While other children were accompanied by their parents, she was there with her grandfather. Now, Huo Jingshen had taken that role. She was utterly mortified! By the time she returned backstage, all the performances had already finished. It was five in the afternoon and the teachers in the front row were still scoring the performances. There were first, second, third prizes, three excellence awards, and a participation award for all the other performances. It was a cause for everyones joy. Naturally, the different awards carried different weights in terms of credits, and these credits would be counted towards the Outstanding Individual award at the end of the semester and might even affect ones graduation credits. Looking at the audiences reactions earlier, Su Wanwan thought that she should at least get an excellence award, right? After all, all the other performances were pretty good. Specifically, Mo Weiyis class performance of Meteor Garden, the props, dialogue, and music were all carefully planned; it was almost professional. Now, for the most exciting moment! Which of the performances today will take first place? What do you all think? On stage, the male and female emcees raised the tension. Finally, Jiang Shuhao, holding the microphone, announced, The first place goes to, the performer of Crooked, from Journalism Major, Year 3, Class 1, Miss Su Wanwan! When she heard her name, Su Wanwan was stunned. Zhao Qianqian at her side quickly pulled her, Oh my god, Wanwan, you got first place! Ah I knew it, your dance was too cool! Hurry up and accept the award! Having said that, Zhao Qianqian gave her a strong push. Under the gaze of everyone, Su Wanwan was thus thrust onto the stage. Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: 229, Couple’s Shirt Chapter 229: 229, Couples Shirt Translator: 549690339 She had just taken off her makeup. The current her, with a white silky shirt on top, black suit trousers underneath, her hair tied up into a bun, revealing a clean and fresh face. She had rosy lips and gleaming teeth. Looking very serene and elegant, she gave off a refreshingly pleasant aura. There were whistles from the boys down below. Wow, she is so beautiful even without makeup! Her dance earlier was simply explosive! She is a natural beauty! Whats her name again? Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan. Jian Shuhao, holding a microphone, said, Su Wanwan unanimously received two perfect scores. Out of all the performances tonight, hers was the only one to receive a perfect score. Su Wanwan: So embarrassed! Among the four judges, two were Huo Jingshen and the dean of teaching. Obviously, they were the ones who gave her the perfect scores. Next, we invite our heaviest guest today, Mr. Huo, to present the award to our champion! Su Wanwan yet again: So when Huo Jingshen walked towards her with grace, acting as if shaking hands with her and even standing next to her for a commemorative photo, Su Wanwan felt her smile was uglier than crying. Come a little closer, although Mr. Huo is very handsome, dont be shy, Ms. Su! the senior responsible for photographing jokingly said, eliciting a roar of laughter from below. Shy my ass! Su Wanwan roasted in her mind but her face was inexplicably hot. So, she awkwardly leaned towards him. Then, she heard him lowering his voice and say, So my darling knows this dance. Su Wanwan: Does the dude know anything? She clearly danced jazz, okay! She only took off her jacket at the end for the effect of the performance! Who knew he would speak again, Next time, dance for your husband at home. Su Wanwan continued: Dance, dance, dance my ass! She was flipping out inside, but remained unaffected on the outside, after all, people must not know that she won first place through connections. Ok, look at the camera together! The senior taking the photo spoke again. Su Wanwan quickly lifted her head and managed a forced smile for the camera. On the other hand, Huo Jingshens thin lips curved up with an elegant laugh like the clear air after the rain. He had also taken off his suit jacket, and at this moment, he was wearing a white shirt with black trousers, which was strikingly similar to Su Wanwans outfit. They looked harmonious together. He was mature and tall, and she was sweet and beautiful, plus a twenty-centimeter height difference between them, showed a distant but harmonious kind of effect. Click, the image of the handsome man and beautiful woman was captured forever. Jian Shuhao picked up the microphone about to speak But saw Su Wanwan holding her award, turn around and run. Everyone was startled, and then Hahahaha! The whole place burst into laughter again. This girl was so adorable. She was so confident while dancing but became shy when she met a handsome president. Such a cute contrast! Have, or havent they? For a long time after that, this video of her was circulated on South Universitys forum. * * Why did you run away, Su Wanwan! Backstage, Zhao Qianqian was frustrated, Why were you so shy when you were lucky to meet the handsome guy! Su Wanwan laughed, Ill go first. Ah, so soon? Where are you going? Something came up. After picking up her personal belongings, Su Wanwan quickly left and arrived at the school parking lot. A stretched Rolls-Royce was parked there.. Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: 230, Kill to silence Chapter 230: 230, Kill to silence Translator: 549690339 Not long after Su Wanwan got into the car, her phone rang. As soon as she picked up, an impatient voice on the other end asked, Where did you run off to? Scrambling to reply, Su Wanwan said, I have something What is it? Huo Jingshen cut her off abruptly. Its important. You should go home first. Do you realize that your husband hasnt seen you for an entire week? Su Wanwan: Listen to his whining. I gave you a score of 10 so that you could be the happiest in taking first place. How do you plan on repaying your husband? Su Wanwan again: Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject, Hubby has a meeting tonight, I should be finished by nine. Huh? Was he reporting his whereabouts to her? The next moment came. Go home and wait for me tonight. Su Wanwan: She abruptly hung up the call. They were in a car ride without exchanging a single word! Absolutely astonishing! Princess. Old Liu opened the car door as she got out. Su Wenwen looked up just in time to see Mo Weiyi coming over with three of her dormmates. Li Feifei seemed surprised when she got into the car, Weiyi, so your friend is also coming? Yes. Mo Weiyi replied, Wanwan just won the first place in the dance contest. Lets celebrate for her. Li Feifei faked a smile, but inside she was furious. She made such meticulous preparations, borrowed numerous props and costumes, and even hired a professional stylist with a lot of money. She was supposed to be the sure winner, but Su Wenwen snatched it from her? Mo Weiyi had mentioned that he was moving, so he invited his dormmates for dinner. She didnt expect that Su Wenwen would boldly tag along, probably to gain some benefits from Weiyi, right? The Rolls-Royce slowly started moving. Five girls sat together, and apart from the two chatting dormmates, the other three remained silent. Until Weiyi. Li Feifei suddenly said, Where are we going for dinner? Why does it seem like the car is driving further and further away? We are almost reaching the sixth ring road now. Mo Weiyi said, I just remembered I lost something. I need you guys to help me find it. After that, we can have dinner. What did you lose? one of the dormmates asked. Mo Weiyi looked at Li Feifei. His words carried an underlying meaning, A pair of earrings. Li Feifei was startled. * * About ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce pulled into an aged residential complex. Li Feifei frowned. The other two dormmates also looked confused. However, since Mo Weiyi was treating them and even arranged for a ride, they didnt have any complaints. After parking the car, Mo Weiyi took out his phone, dialed a number and asked, Rong An, have the people arrived? Good. After hanging up, he said, Lets go. The group took the elevator up to the ninth floor. After getting out and walking along the hallway, they finally reached a door. The man who opened the door was Rong An. He was wearing a very simple black suit, his face expressionless and his muscles well-defined. Seeing the messy state of the room, everyone was a bit frightened. With a click, the door was closed and locked. Mo Weiyi sat down on the couch, and Su Wanwan sat next to him. Weiyi, what whats going on? One of the more timid dormmates was almost driven to tears by this spectacle. She had heard rumors that the Mo Family was previously involved with the underworld Could it be they plan to kill them all to silence them? The man appeared cold-blooded, appearing to be someone whom one shouldnt mess with. Its nothing. Mo Weiyi spoke lazily, I just want to retrieve my earrings.. Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: 231, the Real Princess Chapter 231: 231, the Real Princess Translator: 549690339 Having finished speaking, she turned to Li Feifei, Feifei, the pair of earrings youre wearing now, I received an identical pair on my eighteenth birthday. It was a coming-of-age gift from my father. But not long ago, this pair of earrings inexplicably vanished. What are you implying? Li Feifeis face changed instantly, What does your missing earrings have to do with me? Dont forget that you havent stayed in the dormitory for an entire semester! Furthermore, this pair of earrings was a birthday present from my boyfriend! These earrings were a limited edition from shinore two years ago. At that time, their market value was more than 90,000 yuan, and now their price has tripled. Ordinary people simply cant afford them. Mo Weiyis tone remained nonchalant, Are you sure, these were given to you by your boyfriend? Li Feifei insisted, Of course they were given to me by him! He is an executive of a foreign company and it was my birthday at that time. Rong An. Mo Weiyi spoke impatiently, Bring him out. Rong An walked over and opened the bedroom door, Come out. Seeing the man who came out, Li Feifeis heart shrunk in fear. It was Guo Xingyu! Only he was severely beaten, with a blue and swollen face, a split lip, and fresh blood at the corners of his mouth. He had clearly just been beaten. This is the end. She turned to leave, but before she could, the bodyguard took a quick step and blocked her way. At the same time, Mo Weiyis voice rang out again, Guo Xingyu, take a look at the earrings Feifei is wearing. Are they not the pair your mom gave you which she stole from my house? Li Feifei looked at Guo Xingyu fiercely. Stolen? Guo Xingyu guiltily lowered his head. He was forcibly brought over by Rong An from his company. He had been beaten several times because he resisted successfully; it was tormenting! Guo Xingyu? Mo Weiyi raised her voice. Guo Xingyu quickly replied, Yes, this pair of earrings was given to Feifei by me, which my mother stole from your house. Li Feifei yelled in anger, What are you saying, Guo Xingyu Feifei. Mo Weiyi interrupted her and reached out her hand, Give me back my earrings. Li Feifei clenched her fists and stood there. She was still dressed in Todo Shizu performance costume. Just moments ago, she stood on the stage, admired like the princess in Meteor Garden. The present situation, however, seemed quite ironic. Mo Weiyi was the real princess. She sat before her, only twenty years old, just as young and beautiful as herself, but was born differently, superior, arrogant, incredibly noble and proud. Her two roommates suddenly understood, they had really thought Li Feifeis boyfriend was rich and generous. They never expected that he was actually a thief! What? Cant let it go? Mo Weiyi sneered, Keeping your face in school, I was generous. Li Feifeis face was changing from red to white. She had never been so humiliated in her life! Several seconds later, she finally said through gritted teeth, Why do you get to say its yours just because you say so? The earrings that Xingyu gave me, are mine! Su Wenwen was rather surprised. She had thought that such expensive jewelry, maybe Li Feifei would be reluctant to give back, so she had thought of this plan for Weiyi. But she hadnt expected, this Li Feifei actually wanted to claim them as her own? Mo Weiyi narrowed her beautiful cat-eyes, Over the past two years that Aunt Jiang has worked in my house, she stole a lot of jewelry and sold it, including many pieces that Guo Xingyu gave to you, including these earrings Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: 232, it’s dirty. Chapter 232: 232, its dirty. Translator: 549690339 Youre talking nonsense! Li Feifei interrupted her indignantly, dont blame me if you lose something at your home. Xingyu and I have been together for only half a year; the gifts he has given me can be counted on one hand! So you arent willing to give it back? Mo Weiyis face suddenly turned cold. She had seen many vain women, but never one so utterly shameless. Since you are boyfriend and girlfriend. Su Wenwen suddenly spoke up, Weiyi, wouldnt it be possible that she saw how good it looked on you, so she prompted her boyfriend to buy her one too. Unable to buy one, she could only urge him to steal it. Conveniently, Jiang Auntie works in your house, tidies your room every day, and stealing is all too easy. So you all wouldnt be a gang, would you? A whole criminal gang? What nonsense are you talking about? Li Feifei glared at Su Wenwen. Now she finally understood why she was here. Shes just Mo Weiyis sidekick, here to share her bad ideas. Dont spew slander without evidence. I could sue you for defamation! Su Wenwen gave a slight smile, Since Miss Li refuses to admit it, I think, we should report it to the police directly, let them handle it. Upon hearing the idea of calling the police, Li Feifeis face changed dramatically. She was still a college student and couldnt afford to have a police record for such a trivial matter. How could she hold her head high at school after this? Dont call the police. Ill give them back to you right away! With that, she raised her hand, angrily took off the earrings, and handed them over. The pair of earrings fell into her palm, bright red and dazzling, extremely beautiful. Mo Weiyi took one look at them, a smirk in her voice, Theyre dirty. Li Feifei: Her hands holding the earrings were visibly shaking. The shame and embarrassment on her face were extreme. In the end, it was Su Wenwen who reached out and took them, Lets have someone clean them up properly when we get back. After all, these are the adult gift your father gave you. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and just took the earrings. Bang, Bang, Bang! The door was suddenly pounded on heavily. Rong An walked over to open it, and Jiang Auntie and her husband stormed in. Upon seeing her son beaten like that, Jiang Auntie yelled at Mo Weiyi, Why did you beat my son? Is it because he took a little something from you, would you go so far as to bully him? My son is not in good health. If anything happens to him, I wont let you off! Rong An spoke coldly, Im the one who beat him, it has nothing to do with Princess. Jiang Auntie looked at him, fuming but unable to retort. This Rong An is Mo Weiyis personal bodyguard, and like the other many bodyguards of the Mo Family, he has received professional combat training since childhood. He could easily take on ten men in a fight, and his loyalty was exclusively to his master. When she received his phone call earlier, she knew the game was up. Upon seeing the room turned upside down She gritted her teeth and said, Yes, I took things from the Princess, but those were things you didnt want. Whenever holidays come around, so many elders, relatives, and friends give you so many gifts, and you just glance at them and toss them aside. Many of the gifts you have never used, some you never even unwrapped So, just because theyre unused, you think you can take them? Su Wanwan interrupted her incredulously. What robber logic is this? This was the first time shed seen someone so brazen about stealing! What an eye-opener! Jiang Auntie glanced at her but didnt dare to speak.. Chapter 233 - Chapter 233: 233, can you afford it? Chapter 233: 233, can you afford it? Translator: 549690339 | Aunt Jiang. Mo Weiyi slowly began, Youve been working in my house for two years. I think you know well how I have treated you. Ive been paying you twice as much as other employers, and Ive never pestered you or deducted your wages for taking leaves. And did I not gift you enough in these two years? Then why did you still steal from me? Aunt Jiangs face turned bright red, Those things you gave me, were only things that you didnt want or couldnt use. You pity me, thats why you toss me some cheap stuff. But, would you ever give me the real good stuff? Su Wanwan was once again flabbergasted. She had met this Aunt Jiang a few times. She seemed to be a good and capable woman, but she never expected her to not only be a thief but also so vain that her morals would crumble like that. Hmm. Mo Weiyi chuckled, opened her bag, took out a thick stack of financial bills, and slammed them onto the coffee table. Rong An gave me these things a long time ago. These are your sons financial statements from the past two years. Hes just become an employee in a foreign company this year, with a monthly salary of just over ten thousand. Even though he was just an ordinary college student before, his account had at least a couple of hundred thousand coming in each month from over a year ago, all of it transferred from a pawnshop in Nancheng. Theres also this necklace. She then pulled out a pearl necklace from the bag, My English name, Vera, is engraved on the pendant. This was a bespoke wedding gift my grandfather got made for me in Paris. I even let you see this set of necklaces back then. But now, Rong An bought it from that pawnshop! Which means you recently stole it from me! I can call the police right now and youll be behind bars! Dont call the police! Aunt Jiang said, quickly rushing to Mo Weiyi, My son just managed to get into this company. If you report him, his life will be over; hell have a record. How will he face others You shouldve thought about this before. Mo Weiyi said, unmoved. Please, princess, cant you show some mercy! Me, unmerciful? Remember, I have given you an opportunity, but you didnt seize it! When you were unmasked by Feifei, I could have called the police then! But I thought maybe you were in a difficult situation, so I didnt. And what now? She curled her red lips into a cold, detached smile, Ive seen shameless people, but Ive never seen someone like you. Youre trying to justify stealing? Please, princess, dont call the police. Aunt Jiang now regretted her actions immensely. She had always thought that Mo Weiyi had not noticed, just dismissed her as a naive girl. Now she knew she was wrong. She was tremendously wrong! With a plump, Aunt Jiang fell on her knees and began to sob and beg, Princess, I will return everything, I beg you, dont call the police. Ill compensate you, however much you want, just dont send us to jail. Can you afford to compensate me? Asked Mo Weiyi, sitting on the sofa, gazing down at her condescendingly. 11 j 11 Do you really think I came here today, just to demand compensation from you? Saying this, Mo Weiyi suddenly raised a pair of Shinore earrings in her hands, Like these earrings, I actually dont like them, but since they are mine, I must retrieve them. Im a bit of a clean freak. I dont like others touching my things, let alone dirtying them! If theyre dirtied, Id rather abandon them! Having said this, she slammed the earrings. With a clink, the earrings smashed onto the hard tiled floor, instantly shattering. It took a long time, but Su Wanwan still remembered that scene. Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa wearing a long dark dress with a coffee-colored jacket, her red lips were cold and stunning, her eyebrows proud, and the words she uttered were no less than an ice-cold prophecy of fate. But back then, she was only a girl in her twenties, in the prime of life, radiant and glowing, her eyes filled with nothing but love.. Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: 234, good intentions are treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs Chapter 234: 234, good intentions are treated like a donkeys liver and lungs Translator: 549690339 After the police came, the Guo Family confessed as they were caught red- handed, so it didnt waste much time. After handling this matter, Li Feifei left alone as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. The other two roommates cautiously expressed their wish to return to school. After such a fuss, Mo Weiyi was not in the mood for dinner. She had Old Liu drive her roommates back to school while she and Su Wenwen took a ride home in RongAnscar. Throughout the way, Mo Weiyi barely spoke. Su Wenwen tried to console her, saying, Aunt Jiang brought it on herself. Without a lesson, people like her will only harm more people in the future. You did nothing wrong. Mo Weiyi looked at her, I just feel that I treated her well, but in her heart, it seems like I was pitying her, giving her charity. She even complained abom the quality of what I gave. The more I think about it, the angrier I get Shes merely making excuses for herself. Believe it or not, even if you were unkind to her, she would still steal from you. Mo Weiyi: Okay, dont overthink. Go home and let Xiaobai comfort you a little. Speaking of this, Mo Weiyi became even more upset. Xiaobai was not at home, and it was his first day away. Following this, he would not be at home for an entire week. He had been away on business trips many times before, but she had never felt as hard to bear as she did this time. Perhaps it was because her foot was injured, and she had to deal with so many troubles just now that Mo Weiyi felt aggrieved yet had nowhere to vent. She pulled out her phone and saw that her WeChat message from a few hours ago had not been replied to After dropping off Su Wenwen, sitting in the back seat of the car, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Rong An, have I been good to you? In the drivers seat, Rong An was taken aback, then bluntly answered, Princess has been very good to me. Then would you also act like Aunt Jiang, showing one face to me in public and another in private? Rong An continued to bluntly answer, Rong An would never do that. Mo Weiyi puckered her lips, So why did Aunt Jiang speak of me that way? Although she didnt want to admit it, she felt a little hurt deep down, which was why she was so angry that she smashed the earrings. Princess. replied Rong An, Such people are not worth getting angry over. You dont need them. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips. It s easier said than done, especially when you realize that your kindness is being taken for granted C its unbearable. If only she had called the police when she found out that the earrings were stolen. Rong An took a quick glance at her through the rearview mirror. Mo Weiyi was sitting in the back seat, curling up her uninjured left leg, shrinking into a tiny ball. Her long hair spread out, almost completely covering her face. Rong An. Yes. What can I do if I still feel upset? There was sudden silence in the car. After a long while, Rong Ans voice sounded monotonously: Princess should be happy for those who care about her. Mo Weiyi hung her head for a long while without speaking again. Until their Audi passed through the city centers plaza. Under the night sky, many people bustled about noisily, among them intimate couples could be seen. Mo Weiyi suddenly looked up, Rong An, book me a seat on the earliest flight to Haicheng. Even composed Rong An was somewhat surprised at this moment. Youre right. Mo Weiyis gorgeous eyes filled with a sweet smile, I need not waste my emotions on those who dont matter. My time, my life, my feelings, I should devote them to those who care about me. So, Ive decided, Im going to surprise Xiaobai in Haicheng right away. Im going on a business trip with him; I want to be with him! RongAn: Princess, actually Thats not what I meant! ** While Mo Weiyi was cheerfully packing her luggage in the villa, Su Wenwen had returned home, sitting bored in her living room. For the first time, she felt so relaxed upon returning home, all because Huo Jingshen wasnt there. She checked the time. He had said his meeting would end at nine, and it was just a little past seven now. Su Wenwen picked up the remote and started channel surfing. While switching through hundreds of channels Auntie. Startled, Su Wenwen turned around, Im sorry, Ziyang, did I disturb you? Let me turn down the volume. Auntie. Fu Ziyang showed his chubby face, Whats your phone number? 1861186 She had barely finished speaking when Su Wenwen looked at him and said, Should you write it down? Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes and pulled out his little phone from his bag Alright. Even though he could remember it right after hearing it once. Su Wenwen repeated the phone number, then leaned in, Doing your homework? Yep. If theres anything you dont get, just say it; your auntie can teach you. Hearing this sentence, Fu Ziyang cocked his small head, glancing at her suspiciously. Su Wenwen was stunned. What was that look on this little guy? Why does it feel so similar to the look Huo Jingshen gives me when I screw up? Auntie. With a cute face, Fu Ziyangs tone was somewhat gloating, But Im doing fifth-grade questions, it might be a bit hard. No problem, your auntie knows everything; Im good at maths, Chinese, English, everything. Come, let me teach you. Su Wenwen said bravely. Its just a primary school first-grader, even if hes doing fifth-grade questions, how hard can it be? However, when she saw the question. A pool has three pipes. Pipe A is an inlet and can fill the pool. Pipe B is an outlet and can empty the whole pool in 20 minutes. Pipe C is also an outlet and can empty the pool in 30 minutes. If you start by filling the pool with Pipe A, then start Pipe B to empty it, and after 10 minutes you open Pipe C as well Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: 235, Uncle Doggie Chapter 235: 235, Uncle Doggie Translator: 549690339 | Su Wenwen sat there, picked up the pen and began to calculate quite seriously. However, after a long time, she discovered that she could not figure it out. As she looked up, she saw Fu Ziyang watching her with his chin propped on his small hand. Their eyes met. Looking at the naive, large eyes of the child, Su Wenwen felt a bit embarrassed. Damn it! I cant solve the problem. Are schoolworks of elementary students this hard now? Su Wenwen coughed twice, and argued seriously, Ziyang, this question seems not right to your aunt. Whats not right? Well, Su Wenwen started earnestly, The problem states that water is coming in and going out at the same time. Isnt it a waste of national water resources? Children should save water and should not be wasteful. Wasting is shameful, do you understand? Fu Ziyang just stared at her silently without a word. Su Wanwan felt even guiltier in a moment, Err, you should do your homework Your aunt wont disturb you. Then she got up and quickly went upstairs. Better to play a game. Almost as soon as she sat on the sofa, her phone rang. It was a call from Ye Qi tian, whom she had not seen for a long time. Hehe, the call connected to a sleazy laughter from Ye Qitian, Little junior sister, guess where I am. How do I know? I am in your mansion. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes in annoyance, Ill hang up if theres nothing else Im going to play the game. What game are you going to play, do you know who I just saw? Who? Your husband! Oh, he said he had a business appointment tonight. Su Wenwen responded calmly. Bullshit! If he is having a business meeting, Ill write my name backwards! Ye Qitian said indignantly, I just saw several little devils following him into the box. Every one of them was wearing a small suspender, exposing chest back, and even the panties which hardly covered their buttocks. I cant forget the smooth long legs, so white and slender. Su Wenwen raised her eyebrows, Really? When have I ever lied to you? Wait, I will take a picture for you. Su Wenwen was about to hang up the call. No, they have closed the door of the box. Darn, you come over quickly, its on the sixth floor, the box is named Happy Forest! Just hear the name, you know its not decent! Its obscene! Ill watch out for you here, hurry up, and remember dont make a call so as not to startle them. Su Wanwan hung up and dashed out of the door. Damn! This bloody bastard! He said he has an appointment to discuss something in the evening, but turns out he is going to visit a prostitute! ** Luxury club. Huo Jingshen sat on a black leather sofa, his slender legs were clad in tailormade black suit pants, he leaned back slightly, his tie was unraveled and his white shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing strong forearms. His dog, KO, squatted on the carpet on one side. Glistening with its black fur and a diamond collar around its neck that came off as ostentatious yet refined it stuck out its tongue, held its head high and chest out, with dog eyes sparkling. A lord of a master raises a pet that imitates nobility. Across the table was a row of women, all dressed in golden suspender dresses studded with small pink diamonds, barely covering their proud curves. Each of them held a glass of red wine, shaking themselves slightly to the rhythm of the music, enticing the audience with sultry glances and seductive poses. Until Huo Jingshen impatiently spoke up: Send them all out. Why, bro? Nangong Ci said with twinkling peach blossom eyes, I havent seen enough, are you saying that just because you are married we cant enjoy? Or are you having motion sickness? He isnt having motion sickness. Lu Chenyu spoke slowly, He is under the thumb. Huo Jingshen gave Chenyu a sidelong glance, his eyes sharp as swords. No problem, he is not having motion sickness. Dont worry, brother, we will keep our bps sealed, we wont speak of it. Nangong Ci winked and queried Right, second brother? Chu Xiuhuang exhaled a smoke ring from his mouth slowly, squinted his phoenix eyes, These are all new girls in our club, all of them are college students with high quality! After hed spoken, he looked at Huo Jingshen teasingly, Didnt you always prefer female college students? These are even more tender, one just turned eighteen, still fresh, dont worry, they all have had health checks. Huo Jingshen snorted contemptuously, I think you also need a health check. Take care, otherwise you might get sick. Damn, who are you cursing? Huo Jingshen put down his wine glass and stood up, Im leaving. Woof! KO also stood up and barked. Chu Xiuhuang glared at the stupid German Shepherd, Stay, someone else is coming. Huo Jingshens brows furrowed slightly, Who? Youll know in a moment. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, with a licentious and ill-intentioned smile. Huo Jingshen said, Get these women out first. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Is that necessary? Pretend! Keep pretending! Isnt a mans gatheringjust about smoking, drinking, and playing with women? Huo Jingshen looked at him steadily. A few seconds later, Chu Xiuhuang conceded defeat. Alright, alright, He waved his hands, All of you, leave! The girls looked at each other and quickly left the room. The door of the private room was left open. After the girls walked out in a line they found a woman standing at the doorway. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder silk black gauze dress, outlining the perfect shape of a mature woman. Her burgundy hair was all gathered on one side, slightly side leaning, with seductive red lips and a dazzling smile. It was Chu Jingyi. Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: 236, birds of a feather flock together Chapter 236: 236, birds of a feather flock together Translator: 549690339 1 So many years later, and all of you are still inseparable, Sister Jingyi. Nangong Ci quickly stood up, When did you arrive in China? Last week. Chu Jingyi walked in gracefully, glanced at KO, and directly sat next to Huo Jingshen. KO howled once, and then its big black eyes fixed on its master, not moving away. Jingshen. Her right leg, revealed from the high slit of her black dress, had skin that was so white it was dazzling, Why didnt you bring your little girlfriend to play with us? Before Huo Jingshen could reply, Nangong Ci spoke up, Sister Jingyi, have you met our sister-in-law yet? Hearing this title, Chu Jingyis eyes moved slightly. She remembered when she was very young, because of their childhood engagement, every time these few people saw her, they would also call her sister-in-law. Back then, Huo Jingshen also had such a gloomy face and indifferent eyes. His thoughts were always the hardest to guess. A few days ago, at the parent-teacher conference. Chu Jingyi said. So thats how it is. Nangong Cis peach blossom eyes squinted, Our sister- in-law is probably reading in the library right now, ha ha ha. Chu Jingyi raised her eyebrows in surprise, Is she still a student? Indeed. Nangong Ci went on, Ten years younger than my brother, just started her third year in university. Seems like shes also staying on campus. Staying on campus? Chu Jingyi was even more surprised. Yes, why else would our older brother be able to drink with us every night? Look at his gloomy face, he is probably sexually frustrated, so he only walks the dog and drinks Do all doctors have such a loose tongue? Huo Jingshen interrupted him coldly. Nangong Ci cleared his throat and didnt speak further. Just then, Huo Jingshens phone rang. He got up, I will take a call. When he left, Nangong Ci immediately leaned in, Sister Jingyi, do you think our older brother is secretly a pervert? Lu Chenyu, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke up, I think youre the real pervert. Nangong Ci directly threw some beans at him from the plate. Damn it! If he doesnt speak, then he doesnt. But when he does, its infuriating. ** Su Wanwan hurriedly took a taxi to the mansion, but She was actually not allowed in! Why cant I go in? The security guard solemnly pointed at the notice board next to him, it read: [No dogs or minors allowed!] Su Wanwans mouth twitched. Does he think shes as low as a dog? Not right! She immediately said, Im twenty years old, Im an adult. Showyour ID. Su Wanwan: Because she was in a hurry, she only brought her cell phone. Im here to see my husband. Im already married. Really, Im not lying to you! No entry without an ID! The security guard Salome Almost uttering a swear word, she asked, You must be new here, right? Ive been here before. I know the boss here, his name is Chu Xiuhuang. Who knew the security guard would just wave his hand and wouldnt listen to her explanation. Frustrated, Su Wanwan called Ye Qitian, Xiaotian, come pick me up quickly. What happened? I forgot my ID, and the security guard said minors arent allowed in. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ye Qitian laughed, Its because you have small breasts, you were disliked, ha ha ha ha, wait, Ill come down and get you now! After speaking, the call was hung up. Looking at the phone, Su Wanwan gritted her teeth. Damn it! Where the hell did she have small breasts? Wasnt it just because she was dancing today, so she especially wore a bandeau, not visible under her white shirt, she was even nearly a C cup! ** Five minutes later, Ye Qitian came out, but Su Wanwan wore a row of question marks on her face. Ye Qitian was wearing sunglasses, a duck-billed cap, and a black mask. If she wasnt so familiar with his pretentious walk, she wouldnt even dare to recognize him. The two entered the clubhouse successfully. In the elevator, Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask him, Why did you dress up like this? Ye Qitian propped up the frame of his glasses with his fingers, and gazed down at her from above, You dont understand, do you? Im now a huge star and cant easily reveal my superior face. I must disguise myself to go out, otherwise, the streets will be full of people resulting in traffic jams, and potentially, large scale fights among female fans. Su Wanwan: ** Upon reaching the upstairs, Su Wanwan followed Ye Qitian inside. While walking, she was busily preparing herself mentally. This was completely different from the feeling of catching an adulterer when she returned home from Los Angeles. At that time, she felt nothing but anger. But now She was nervous, worried, anxious, and uneasy In just a few minutes, she went over N possible scenarios in her head. When they finally reached the so-called Happy Forest private room, she took a deep breath, and kicked the door open. But, the result. There was no one inside. Ye Qitian hastily removed his sunglasses. Damn it. Wheres everyone? Su Wanwan, however, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she glared at him, What are you trying to pull? I really did see your husband inside just now, and then a lot of girls went in, many were even younger than you. Su Wanwan: Really. I swear my life on it Bored! Su Wanwan turned around and walked away. Little junior sister, little junior sister, dont go, I really didnt lie to you Ye Qitian had just run a few steps, when the door of the room next to them suddenly opened. Qitian, where the hell have you been? Hurry up, Director Zhou is looking for you! Xie Ding said, and without any delay he dragged him inside. Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: 237, Old Lover Chapter 237: 237, Old Lover Translator: 549690339 | The mansion was enormous, its winding corridors seemingly endless. Su Wanwan had been there twice before, but perhaps out of anger, she had dashed around like a headless fly. By the time she realized something was amiss, she had already lost her way. After going in circles, she ended up back where she started. Frowning, she took a closer look at the sign and then proceeded forward. Unexpectedly, she found herself in a secluded area resembling a bar at a hotel lobby, with a few bustling customers scattered here and there. Just as Su Wanwan was about to turn and leave, she heard a voice behind her, Jingshen, why are you drinking alone? It was a womans voice. Sweet and gentle, yet tinged with a hint of arrogance and dominance. Su Wanwan instantly tensed. She turned and hid behind a screen, poking her head out to see who it was. Sitting on a couch in the corner was a man in a white shirt and black trousers, his back to her. No doubt about it, that was Huo Jingshen. The dim lighting in the alcove cast a mysterious glow on him as he sat there, his back straight, his white shirt immaculate, and even the hair at the back of his head meticulously groomed. However, sitting across from him was another woman with seductive auburn curls, her off-shoulder black dress accentuating her alluring figure, a languid smile playing on her face. It was Chu Jingyi, the woman she had bumped into at the school that afternoon! By the way, you still havent told me, why the sudden marriage? Upon hearing the question, Su Wanwan felt a tightening in her chest. Then, It was time. Huo Jingshen replied casually. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth in annoyance. It was time? What kind of answer was that?! So, why would you elope with that blonde girl? Chu Jingyi asked further. Su Wanwans frown deepened. Blonde girl? Better a blonde than a damn auburn, surely! Huo Jingshen did not answer this time. Jingshen. Chu Jingyi sighed suddenly, What if we were together now, what would it be like? Su Wanwan abruptly clenched her hand into a fist. She held back her breath, but there was no response from Huo Jingshen. Ha, if we were together, perhaps by now our kids would be in middle school. I often wonder why fate is such a jester. Do you remember how I once told you, how I wanted a man who was more tender, more understanding than you? Look at what happened, one wrong step and everything went awry. Chu Jingyi ended her monologue with a bitter laugh, emptied her glass in one gulp- Su Wanwan was beginning to understand. Clearly, these two had reunited after a long separation, and evidently, they were old flames. The woman seemed to be having marriage troubles? That damn lecher said he had a business meeting that would last till nine, and what exactly was he up to? He was clearly making love to his ex-girlfriend here! Who would have guessed that aside from Fu Qi, he had an ex-girlfriend in hiding. Were there any more? A third one? A fourth one? A fifth one Suddenly, a familiar ringtone filled the room. She watched as Huo Jingshen picked up the phone on the table and answered it. Grandma? Understood, Ill bring Ziyang home tomorrow evening. Is that Grandma Huo? Chu Jingyi asked, her hand reaching out, Let me say a few words to her. Su Wanwans eyes widened once again. Chu Jingyi just took Huo Jingshens phone from him without asking, and he simply let her! Damn it! That was the phone case she bought for him! This was infuriating! She felt like running her nails down a wall! This was so annoying! Grandma Huo, its Jingyi. How have you been? Yes, Ive returned a while ago and Ive seen Jingshen. Dont worry, Ill come and see you and Grandpa Huo these two days. Su Wanwan clenched her fists, her fury growing with every word she heard, building up to a point of explosive rage. Finally, as a waiter happened to pass by, Su Wanwan suddenly reached out and picked up a glass of red wine from his tray. Miss, these wines have been just brought out. Upon hearing the voice, Huo Jingshen looked up slightly, and then he saw Su Wanwan step come out from behind the screen, a tall glass of red wine in her hand. Surprise momentarily leaving him without a reaction. Then, Ah! Chu Jingyis scream tore the silence. Su Wanwan threw an entire glass of red wine straight onto Huo Jingshens face. All eyes in the room were drawn to the source of the scream. Huo Jingshen sat still, the contours of his handsome face drenched in wine, his hair soaking wet. He closed his eyes as the red liquid trickled down his face, over his collarbones, staining his tie and his white shirt which clung wetly to his body. Chu Jingyi hurriedly offered him some tissue paper. When she approached him, Huo Jingshen made no attempt to take them. Instead, he reached for the tissues on the table, delicately wiped the wine stains off his face, remaining calm despite being humiliated in front of everyone, those whispers echoing in the room. However, Chu Jingyi knew he was livid. After all, it was a question of a mans dignity. Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: 238, stop right there for me Chapter 238: 238, stop right there for me Translator: 549690339 Throughout history, successful men, those who have held high positions for many years, inherently regard themselves as the superior, embodying the deep-rooted male chauvinism. How could they possibly endure such defiant and inappropriate behavior from a woman? As expected, after drying all the wine stains from his face, when Huo Jingshen raised his eyes again, his face was already glaring with a chilling and murderous air. However, before he could speak, Su Wanwan put her wine glass down on the table with a thud, and then she turned to run. Stay right there! Hearing these words, Su Wanwan instinctively stopped in her tracks. Then she almost choked in frustration, clenching her teeth. Oh crap! Why was she listening to this jerks words? But, when the footsteps behind her gradually approached, Su Wanwan reminded herself, why run? Since she was catching them in the act of an affair, whoever fled would be guilty. Moreover, he was clearly in the wrong first! So, she turned around, stood straight, raised her chin, and coldly stared at him. But, when Huo Jingshen walked up to her. Oh hell! The 20-centimeter height difference naturally gave him some sort of condescending presence. His narrow and deep eyes looked down onherasifhe was the Buddha looking at a little monkey jumping around in his palm. Su Wanwan found out she was at a disadvantaged position due to her short height, especially during face-off, she already lost in terms of height. Narrowing his eyes, Huo Jingshen looked down on the little girl in front of him, his face taut, his eyes sharp, clearly angry. This marked the second time his face was doused by this little girl, and this time in front of everyone. After splashing the wine, she still glared at him defiantly, as if he was the adulterous husband who got caught She certainly had grown bold, more audacious, thinking she could behave so wilfully after making a mistake. Absolute insolence due to overindulgence! Jingshen, Chu Jingyi had already walked over. Naturally, she had also recognized Su Wanwan, and her expression immediately darkened, What on earth are you doing? Why did you douse Jingshen with wine out of the blue? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes towards her. This was their second meeting. She noticed that this Chu Jingyi was indeed quite beautiful, and quite mature, with a natural charm about her. Perhaps because of her age and experience, coupled with her distinguished background, everything about her, from her makeup, clothes, and even her demeanor, exuded confidence and arrogance. Especially the way she accused her, acting as if she had the upper ground, as if she was the legal wife and it was Su Wanwan herself who was the mistress. Fury erupted within Su Wanwan, so she couldnt help but retort, staring down at Jingyi, I came to catch you in the act! What does it have to do with you if I splash my man with wine? If you dare to keep babbling on, Ill splash you too! Why didnt she splash this vixen just now? She was too angry, so she just focused on teaching Huo Jingshen a lesson. Big mistake! Su Wanwan was kicking herself deep inside, but she didnt let it show on her face. This is a public place, every other word from your mouth is an obscenity, and youre yelling so loud, arent you embarrassed? Chu Jingyi frowned, Moreover, catching them in the act of what? Have you lost your mind? I was just having a chat with Jingshen, cant your thoughts be less dirty? Dirty? At least Im better than you, the mistress. Dared to do it but not admit it? Narrowing her phoenix-like eyes, which looked very similar to Chu Xiuhuangs, Chu Jingyi suddenly let out a laugh, Interesting, so the woman Jingshen married turns out to be a wild kitten. The wild kitten, Su Wanwan, also laughed. But it was a bitter laugh, Miss Chu, is it? Know that my husband is married to me, this wild kitten, please control your words and actions, and avoid getting too close to a married man. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that the next time my cat claws wont land on your face! Are you warning me? Chu Jingyi rose her proud eyebrows. It was the first time that she had been warned by a twenty-year-old brat! You heard me right! Su Wanwan lifted her chin high, Make it clear: the next time you dare to flirt with my man like this, it would not just be a warning! Chu Jingyi let out a mocking laughter, then turned to look at Huo Jingshen, Jingshen, isnt your wife a bit rude? The last time they met, she felt Su Wanwan was impulsive, not steady, and very impolite. This was the second time they met, she found Su Wanwan used even fouler language, was rude, and had very low standards of conduct. Whats more, she didnt care about her mans dignity, throwing around words like catching in the act and mistress in public which were unpleasant to the ears. Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen would marry such a woman? Simply unthinkable! Chu Jingyi had thought Huo Jingshen would be even angrier, but instead, he burst into laughter. A short arc of smile formed on his thin lips, his stunning eyebrows and eyes imbued with a hint of mirth, his handsome face glowing. The earlier grim rage was nowhere to be found. Not only that, he also gently rubbed Su Wanwans head with his big hand, speaking in a spoiling and tender tone, Why are you so cute? Your husband just had a little more chat with Sister Jingyi, do you have to be so jealous? After saying that, he put his big hand down, directly pulled the stunned little girl into his arms, and introduced in a graceful manner, Baby, I told you last time, this is Chu Xiuhuangs twin sister, Chu Jingyi. You can call her Sister Jingyi. Jingyi, this is my wife, Miss Su Wanwan. Chu Jingyi looked at the refined, elegant man in front of her, and her pupils contracted instinctively. Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: 239, melon field under the plum tree Chapter 239: 239, melon field under the plum tree Translator: 549690339 My darling? Little wife? Missy? Is she really sweet? Although Su Wanwan was originally very angry, when she heard him introduce her in such a straightforward and bright manner, her expression, movements and tone were all so honest. Could she have misunderstood him? Without giving her time to think clearly Alright, Im not going to return to the compartment. Tell Xiuhuang for me. Having said that, she was taken away by Huo Jingshen. ** Inside the enclosed car, a peaceful silence. As soon as Huo Jingshen got into the car, his face was expressionless, and his driving looked somewhat cold. Su Wanwan was sitting quietly, in a dignified and gentle manner, without saying a word. The wind blew in from the half-open window with a bit of chill. Then Achoo! Huo Jingshen sneezed. Su Wanwan quickly said, Close the window, dont catch a cold. Baby, areyou worrying about me? laughed Huo Jingshen, Its too late. Su Wanwan was flustered and started explaining, It was Xiaotian who told me youre engaging with courtesans at Gui Mansion, I rushed over. Engaged with courtesans? Ye Qitian? Huo Jingshen chuckled lightly again. Alright, this grudge, he took note of. Casting a sidelong glance at the little girl, whose expression showed guilt, his face fell, and he firmly stated, Do you believe whatever he tells you? In your eyes, am I, Huo Jingshen, that kind of man who indulges in debauchery and seeks pleasure everywhere the moment my wife is not by my side? But Su Wanwan actually dared to rebut, Then who asked you to deceive me? I sent you a message asking you, and you said it was a business meeting, but you were secretly romancing with an old lover! So, in front of so many people, you threw red wine at me? Huo Jingshen scoffed, Does your husband not need to uphold his dignity? Even if Im wrong Su Wanwan defended herself with a flushed face, Arent you the least bit responsible? Have you ever heard of the idiom avoid suspicion? Huo Jingshen nodded, Youre right. Su Wanwan was stunned. So quickly he admits his mistake? The next second On that note, in future, you and Ye Qitian must also maintain a distance. Hes my buddy, a really close one. Although hes a bit silly and reckless, without Ye Qitian and Master in Los Angeles, Im afraid I wouldve been done for early on Hes a man. having said that, Huo Jingshen added, And the kind that has ulterior motives towards you. Su Wanwan: Thats settled then, well monitor each other from now on. Be good. Su Wanwan again: Why do I feel that something is off? She immediately says, Im just pals with Qitian, our relationship is clear. What about your overseas trip? You two even had a relationship! An overseas trip? Huo Jingshen chuckles, We didnt have a relationship. Huh? I said, we didnt have a relationship. Huo Jingshen repeated with aflat tone. How is that possible? She openly said if you two were still together, the child would be in junior high school now, do you think I didnt hear that? This was also a reason that made Su Wenwen angry. Chu Jingyi and Chu Xiuhuang are twins, both are thirty years old this year, which is two months younger than Huo Jingshen. The Chu family and the Huo family have good relations, they both live in the military district compound, the families are comparable, the two individuals have grown up together, both look well-matched, it seems as if they are a perfect match created by heaven and earth. Huo Jingshen raises his brows, Baby, are you jealous? Far from it! Hmm. Huo Jingshen lets out a low laugh, and then says, I didnt have any relationship with her. Tonight, I had arranged to meet a business owner from the northeast at the club, but he suddenly fell ill and couldnt make it. By chance, a few friends were having a gathering, and I had no idea that Xiuhuang would bring Jingyi over. Su Wanwan was feeling pretty comfortable listening to this until she heard the last two words. Jingyi? Haha, you call her so intimately. Huo Jingshen: The phone suddenly rings at this moment, and he picks it up to look. Su Wanwan obviously noticed his expression, immediately asking, Whos calling? Huo Jingshen: Who else could it be? It just happened to be Chu Jingyi who called. Why arent you answering? Are you feeling guilty? Su Wanwans pair of big eyes keep staring at him. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, put down the phone, Then, I wont answer. It was Su Wanwans turn to be silent: s After a while, she peeked at the phone, and deliberately said, Its been ringing for so long, it would not be nice if you dont answer, right? Huo Jingshen responded, Its okay, I pretend not to hear it. Su Wanwan was quite satisfied with his attitude, but the lingering ringtone sounded relentless, as if it would not cease until the call was answered. She pursed her lips, then reached out, pressed the answer button, and hit the speakerphone. Then, she heard Chu Jingyis soft voice, Jingshen, its Jingyi, Im sorry, am I disturbing you by calling now? Su Wanwan remained silent. Jingshen? Jingshen, are you listening? Finally, Huo Jingshen spoke, but his tone was very indifferent: Whats the matter? Its like this. Chu Jingyi said, I forgot to tell you just now, my grandfather plans to hold a charity auction on his birthday, then Aci and others will also come. Okay. Also. Chu Jingyi paused a moment, Your wife didnt misunderstand earlier, did she? Huo Jingshen remained unchanged, No. Really? Chu Jingyi laughed lightly, Its best if there was no misunderstanding, see you at the birthday banquet then, bye. The call was just ended. Which trollop do you plan to bring to the birthday party? Su Wenwens cold voice echoed. Huo Jingshen was open to the advice, I111 bring you. Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: 240, cross-dressing as a man Chapter 240: 240, cross-dressing as a man Translator: 549690339 | Su Wanwan hummed suspiciously, If I hadnt overheard this call, would you have told me? Would you have taken me at all? No, not at all. Huo Jingshen immediately denied, I have already prepared a dress for my precious girl. Really? Why havent I seen it? Its at the clubhouse, Ill take you there to try it on later. Su Wanwan hummed again and finally seemed satisfied. But their moment of peace didnt last long. Hand me your phone. Huo Jingshen asked, Why? To check! Huo Jingshen: This girl Shes really getting spoiled and arrogant! Check his phone, was she trying to reach the heavens? Are you going to hand it over or not? If you dont, you must be hiding something! Su Wanwan demanded, not backing down. And then Here. Huo Jingshen gave her the phone, Feel free to browse, my love. Su Wanwans lips slowly curled into a smile as she took the phone, slid her small finger on the screen and asked, Whats the password? 0821. 0821? That didnt seem to be his birthday. What day is that? Su Wanwan asked innocently. Now Huo Jingshen looked straight ahead, his face not reddening, his heart not even skipping a beat as he said, The day my precious girl and I firstyou know. Su Wanwan: Should she check the phone? Or not? Or After a while, she finally blushed and keyed in the four-digit password. Once the phone unlocked, she first opened the contacts list. All the names seemed ordinary until she saw one labeled Precious Girl. She gave it some thought and opened it. Sure enough, it was her number. Clearing her throat a couple of times, Su Wanwan continued her investigation. The contacts, the messages, the WeChat She checked them all. In the end, she tossed the phone back to him, Boring. Huo Jingshen: * Half an hour later, the Bentley slowly drove into Imperial Court Villa. It was past nine in the evening, and Fu Ziyang had already gone to bed. When they returned to the bedroom, Huo Jingshen headed straight for the bathroom, and then Come in. What for? After a few steps, Huo Jingshen emerged. His white shirt was stained with wine, short hair slightly messy from being damp, eyebrows knitted, and thin lips pulled into a straight line. Su Wanwan felt strangely guilty. As expected. You misunderstood your husband, ruined his shirt with wine, and you, the instigator, dont plan on making it up to him? Su Wanwan blinked her big eyes. Make it up to him? She understood! Huo Jingshen stood there, watching her run over to him, but she walked past him into the bathroom, quickly returned with a dry towel, and said, Sit down. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, walked over to the sofa, and sat down. Su Wanwan followed and stood in front of him, picked up the towel, and started rubbing it on his head. Huo Jingshen: He thought she was going to offer herself to him, but shes just helping him wipe his hair? Moreover, does using a towel to rub a wine stain even help? Wouldnt that just ruin another towel? But seeing how seriously this little girl was trying to help him dry his hair, it was like she was the perfect little housewife. He had never seen anything like that before. Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes and smiled. Fine by him. If she could actively admit her mistake and make it up to him, it was already pretty impressive. So, he sat there in silence, with a faint smile and eyes full of satisfaction, allowing the gentle touch of her soft hand holding the towel as it moved gently back and forth on his head. Because they were so close, a faint scent began to fill his nose. Su Wanwan hardly ever wore makeup or used perfume, so her scent was very subtle, a pure, natural fragrance unique to young girls. She was wearing a loose, silk white shirt. She was in the same outfit this afternoon when she danced on the stage, dressed as a man, her lips red, her teeth white, looking like a captivating little fairy. All done. Su Wanwan thought she had wiped enough, released her hand, and planned to leave, but was suddenly embraced. Huo Jingshen wrapped his arms around the young girl, and said, Good girl, let your husband hold you. Su Wanwan obeyed and stayed quiet in the mans arms. The room was very quiet, the atmosphere was somewhat sweet and beautiful, but that didnt last long She began to push him away, Enough, have you had your fill of hugs? I need to put the towel away. Dont move. Huo Jingshen refused to let go, Darling, my clothes are also wet from the wine. In response, Su Wanwan said without thinking, Then you should change. Its pretty late now, Ill just take a bath instead. Huo Jingshen spoke as he lifted his handsome head, Darling, want to join your husband? Together? Su Wanwans eyes widened, I dont want to Its not up to you. With that, Huo Jingshen stood up, holding her in his arms. Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: 241, flying to Haicheng Chapter 241: 241, flying to Haicheng Translator: 549690339 | Su Wanwan slept until almost noon the next day, ultimately disrupted by a phone call. She opened her eyes to find herself alone in the brightly lit room. The time was just after 10 in the morning. Huo Jingshen must have gone to work. This shameless man, did he just leave like that?! She answered the phone, Weiyi? Upon hearing her lazy voice tinged with evident sleepiness, Mo Weiyi on the other end of the line chuckled energetically, teasing, Baby Wanwan, you cant be serious. Its so late and youre still in bed with your Mr. Huo? Blushing, Su Wanwan retorted, No, I was just so tired yesterday. Too tired? From Mr. Huo? Hehehe, your Mr. Huo is so vigorous, huh? His lascivious laughter turned Su Wanwans face even redder, she quickly denied, No, I meant I was tired from dancing. After that, she changed the subject. Is there something you wanted? Of course there is. Mo Weiyi chuckled. Im about to catch a flight to Haicheng. Haicheng? Su Wanwan was confused. Why are you going so far? Isnt your foot still injured? Im going to look for Xiaobai. Hes on a business trip there, and besides, Ive never been to Haicheng before. I consider this a vacation, and Ill bring you a gift when I come back. Oh, thank you. Such a princess, going wherever she wants without a care. Its so willful and unrestrained, not worrying about anything. But seeing her in such a good mood, Su Wanwan didnt want to dampen her spirits, just responding, Haicheng is very hot, be careful not to get heatstroke. Got it. Now, I wont disturb your time with Mr. Huo. Bye bye. Before she could say anything else, the call was ended. Su Wanwan laid back down on the bed, closing her eyes to rub her waist. Its so sore At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open. Seeing the man who walked in, she was taken aback. He actually didnt go to work? By that time, Huo Jingshen had already walked over and bent his tall body. Seeing the girl, lying in the deep-blue quilt, with her clear big eyes looking at him in confusion, he couldnt help but chuckle softly, Arent you going to get up? Annoyed, Su Wanwan stretched out her hand to push him, but he easily immobilized her. Then she tried to kick him, but ended up crying out, Ah! Tears filled her eyes instantly. It hurt so much! What happened? Huo Jingshen quickly looked down at her. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth. Especially upon seeing his clear brow and eyes, looking refreshed and alert. Why was she feeling so lethargic, but he seemed as energetic as a freshly charged battery? Angry, she opened her mouth and bit down hard on his finger. Still not feeling relieved. She bit on the back of his hand again. She bit him a few more times, as if venting her frustration. Huo Jingshen let her throw her tantrum for a bit, then he restrained her. Heh. A series of chuckles came from deep within his throat. Shameless! Su Wanwan glared at him, My leg hurts so much! Didnt you learn to dance when you were younger? Didnt you practice your basics well? It took Su Wanwan two seconds to get his meaning, her face blushed to her ears. Huo Jingshen was pleased with her reaction, therefore he generously said, Good girl, your hubby wont touch you now. Su Wanwans lips twitched in annoyance, I thank you for that. Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: 242, your husband will not cheat. Chapter 242: 242, your husband will not cheat. Translator: 549690339 | Youre welcome. Huo Jingshen sat up straight, Go back to sleep, come down for lunch later. His handsome features and patient softness were rather unexpected. Unable to resist, Su Wenwen asked, Were you speaking the truth last night? About what? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows. Just Su Wenwen hemmed and hawed, about Chu Jingyi Stop overthinking, your husband wont cheat or do anything to hurt you. After saying this, Huo Jingshen patted her little head, as though comforting a child throwing a tantrum. After he left, Su Wenwen couldnt resist overthinking for a while. In the end Never mind! Just trust him this once. * * Ten minutes later, when Su Wenwen entered the kitchen downstairs, just as expected, a certain someone was preparing lunch. He was dressed casually in dark leisure pants, worn loosely around his waist. His shirt had several buttons undone, with his sleeves casually rolled up. He didnt look as formal and elegant as he usually did. Instead, he looked casually handsome. His tall figure, upright posture, and focused handsome face Su Wenwen was reminded of a saying, A serious man is the most charming. Even though he was just cooking seriously. Where are the housekeepers? Su Wenwen leaned in to ask. They have a day off. Why? Ziyang is staying at the big house for a couple of days. Huh? Grandpa and grandma really like him, Huo Jingshen seemed to be explaining. Su Wenwen nodded and didnt think much of it. Fu Ziyang was indeed adorable, smart, and importantly, very well-behaved and quiet. Its no wonder the old folks liked him so much. Huo Jingshen cooked quite a few dishes. The exquisite serving plates were filled with colorful dishes. The sight of them was a feast for the eyes, and mouthwatering. Why did you cook so many dishes today? Su Wenwen asked in surprise. For just the two of them to eat, cooking an entire tables worth of dishes was quite extravagant, wasnt it? Huo Jingshen looked at her and said, Today is the 20th. The 20th? Su Wenwen blinked her eyes before breaking out in laughter, So its your birthday, my bad, I forgot. Huo Jingshen: As expected, she could not be deemed a good housewife. Probably because she was too caught up with catching a cheater that she forgot everything else. Why is there no birthday cake? Su Wenwen asked, showing no signs of guilt. Its okay. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Were going back to the big house tonight. Lets make do with lunch. Oh, I see, Su Wenwen understood at last. After all, Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson of the Huo family, and being his 30th birthday, the old Mrs. Huo was sure to make grand preparations. No wonder Fu Ziyang was taken to the big house so early. However, looking at the table full of food, she had an idea. Wait, wait, dont start eating yet. Huo Jingshen had the chopsticks already in hand, he looked at her, What are you doing? I want to take a photo. Saying this, Su Wenwen got up and ran upstairs. Very quickly, she rushed back down holding a camera. Where was the sick-looking woman from before? Su Wenwen ran over, raised her phone towards the food on the table, and snapped several shots from various angles. Then, all of a sudden, she ran over to him, grabbed his arm, Look at the camera, smile, come on. Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: 243, post on Moments Chapter 243: 243, post on Moments Translator: 549690339 Doing what? Huo Jingshen felt a sudden jump in his brow. Posting on social media to show off our love. Huo Jingshen coughed twice. True to a young girls behavior, she really likes to show off. But Forget it, who made her his wife? He married her, he had no choice but to continue spoiling her. So, Huo Jingshen wrapped his arms around his wife, faced the camera, and offered a stiff little smile. At that moment, he looked like a clear breeze under the moonlight. Snap. Its done. Perfect! Su Wanwan curved her mouth in satisfaction, without further ado, added a cat effect to the picture and directly sent it to Huo Jingshen, Post it on social media, let Chu Jingyi see clearly, youre a man with a wife now! Huo Jingshen: What a slap in the face. ** Several seconds later. Huo Jingshen posted his first-ever message on social media. No words, just several pictures. The most noticeable one was a selfie of him and Su Wenwen, with a beauty filter applied. Immediately. Chu Xiuhuang: Yo, you can post on social media now. Nangong Ci: Yo, you can even use beauty filters. Somebody: Yo, showing off your affection huh. Somebody: Yo, showing off your relationship. The comments followed the same pattern until Lu Chenyu: Making amends for your mistake? Everyone: Some people just love to be brutally honest! If youre talkative just talk more! ** Haicheng is located at the southernmost part of the country, with a warm climate all year round, abundant rainfall, and also the largest tourist city in the country. In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, making the weather unbearably sultry. This was Mo Weiyis first trip to this city. As soon as he got off the plane, he was almost overwhelmed by the wave of heat, so Rong An, I want to eat ice cream. Quickly go buy me a Haagen-Dazs, I want the strawberry flavor. Since Young Master wanted to have ice cream, Rong An certainly couldnt refuse. 10 minutes later, seated in the rented luxury car, Mo Weiyi held a small spoon, eating his ice cream and asked, Rong An, did you find out the name of the hotel? Hilton Hotel, were heading there now. Dont tell Xiaobai. I want to surprise him. Alright, Mo Weiyi picked up his phone, Im going to call him first to see if hes busy. He was too preoccupied to call me back yesterday. The phone was answered quickly after a few rings. Weiyi. His voice unflustered and deep, sounded particularly refreshing under the scorching sun. Mo Weiyi was in a good mood and asked cheerfully, Xiaobai, where are you? In Haicheng. Well, of course, I know youre in Haicheng. Im asking exactly where you are in Haicheng. Arent you in the hotel? Im about to attend a meeting and have a banquet later in the evening. I see, her beautiful eyes flickered, Mo Weiyi asked him, Did you forget to call me yesterday? Work was too busy, I forgot later. Xiao Yebais tone was still calm. Alright then, is the banquet youre attending later in the hotel? Yes. Understood. Okay, then I wont disturb you anymore. Bye. Mo Weiyi hung up after saying that. ** On the other side of the phone call. Inside the presidential suite, Xiao Yebai raised his brows, put down his phone, then opened WeChat. The message from Mo Weiyi yesterday was still there, but he was in a meeting at that time and didnt finish until after eleven in the evening, having already passed her bedtime. Knock, knock, knock. The door was suddenly knocked. Xiao Yebai got up, walked over, and opened the door. Standing outside was Qu Yunyao, wearing a light-yellow ladys dress, her waist slender, hair draped over her shoulders, her makeup was gentle and pure. Just looking at her appearance, she really seemed like a pure and harmless girl next door. She looked at Xiao Yebai in surprise, her tone was full of delight, Brother-in- law, you really are living here. Xiao Yebai slightly raised his brows, looking a bit surprised. Its like this, my boyfriends uncle is celebrating his birthday in a few days. I came with him to wish him a happy birthday. On reaching here, my aunt told me that you are here on a business trip. I didnt believe it at first. I didnt expect us to meet by chance. Qu Yunyao said, swiftly scrutinizing the man. Despite just having woken up from a nap, Xiao Yebai was dressed casually in a light grey t-shirt and black casual pants, his posture still upright as a pine. His fair and handsome face, not hidden behind glasses, his peach blossom eyes shimmering with coldness, his silence made him seem a bit too stern, but Incredibly captivating! Even though he was just Mo Familys son-in-law, Qu Yunyao had to admit, Xiao Yebais appearance was impeccable, from head to toe, not a hint of despair. Even without dressing up, the man standing before her was coldly elegant as if he was born that way. Any other business? Xiao Yebais voice sounded indifferent. Qu Yunyao was taken aback, then came back to her senses and said, This is the case, brother-in-law, do you have time now? My boyfriend wants to talk to you Miss Qu. Xiao Yebai interrupted her calmly but ruthlessly, If its about investing in the movie, I think Ive made it very clear. No. Qu Yunyao hurriedly denied, My boyfriend was too impulsive at the investment meeting last time and said some very radical things to you. He s been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to you. Also, about the matter of investing in the movie, if you think theres a problem, we will continue to make changes. My boyfriend also wants to ask for your opinion? Is it okay? Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: 244, each with a hidden agenda Chapter 244: 244, each with a hidden agenda Translator: 549690339 She had already lowered her stance, and shed said everything she could, yet Im afraid its not convenient. Qu Yunyao was stunned again, he hadnt expected him to refuse so straightforwardly, Brother in law, my boyfriend truly wants to reconcile with you. Miss Qu. Xiao Yebai calmly looked at her, although his face showed no expression, his eyes were piercingly sharp, as if they could see right through people. He said, If youre just looking to help Xu Rui make a film, I suggest you put more effort into your work. Otherwise, I suggest you give up sooner rather than later. What do you mean by that, brother-in-law? Qu Yunyao innocently asked. Being ambitious is good, but alas, youve used the wrong methods. Qu Yunyaos face turned pale, Brother-in-law, do you have to be so harsh? She lowered her head, lightly biting her lip, even choking back a sob, I know, I did wrong before when I offended you at the old house, but I did all those things sincerely wanting to help Xu Rui. He made many sacrifices for these productions, he gave up his comfortable life back in China to travel tirelessly between China and America. He had worked so hard and we finally had a finished product, I truly want to help him fulfill his dream The ring of a mobile phone came from inside the room. Excuse me. Xiao Yebai interrupted her, turning back into the room. Just as Qu Yunyao was about to follow him Slam, the door closed so quickly that it nearly hit Qu Yunyaos nose. ** A few minutes later, Qu Yunyao went back down to the room. Xu Rui, are you all set? Yunyao, should we really do this? Xu Rui seemed a little worried. Youre not having second thoughts, are you? Qu Yunyao was visibly frustrated. She met Xu Rui in America. At first, she wasnt attracted to him, what she needed wasnt a man still struggling, but one who had already succeeded in business. However, she eventually found out that Xu Rui came from a wealthy background, the Xiu family may not be as wealthy as the Mo Family, but its still considered quite the large clan within China. He didn t want to rely on his family because he genuinely loved filmmaking and, due to his youthful exuberance, he wanted to achieve something great on his own. Thus, after a lot of contemplation, Qu Yunyao decided to take a gamble. She firmly believed that as long as she could help Xu Rui take the first successful step and make the Xiu family believe in his capability, everything would naturally fall into place. However After spending half a year with him, she found that Xu Rui had so many flaws. He was proud but arrogant, stubborn, impulsive, and often indecisive at crucial moments. With that, Qu Yunyao was evidently unhappy. No wonder the Xiu family never had full confidence in him, how could he do anything great with such indecisiveness? Yunyao. Xu Rui was hesitant, I just think its too risky foryou. Qu Yunyao finally realized his worries, she hugged her boyfriend, gently whispered, Havent we already agreed? We are just going to take some pictures of me and him together, I really cant think of any other way to make him agree to invest. But you are my girlfriend, I dont want you to be taken advantage of. Xu Rui was deeply affectionate, looking like a considerate boyfriend, how about we find another woman out there to help me instead? I dont want him to take advantage of you. Qu Yunyao could only reassure him, No, I will wait for the right opportunity to drug him, then take him back to this room. You just need to be ready to take the photos, you will be there watching, whats there to worry about? Once we have the photos, we will take him home and let him meet his fate. But The main concern is that an outsider may not be reliable. If he manages to bribe her with money, wouldnt all our efforts be in vain? Qu Yunyao thought she had planned well ahead. We are doing all these for our future, we can threaten him with the pictures and go to the Mo Family! By then, he would have to pay more than just ten billion. If he is wise, he will surely agree to help you invest. Xu Rui hugged her, a mysterious look disappearing from his eyes. He initially thought since Qu Yunyao was related to the Mo Family, they would easily lend a hand. Everything was going smoothly until now, until this Xiao Yebai appeared and became an obstacle. Not only did he completely reject his works at the investment meeting, he is not even willing to give a second chance. It was utterly stubborn. He came to Haicheng to find a chance to meet him privately, but he didnt even grant him that much face. They have no choice but to take this final step. ** At seven in the evening, in a banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel. A banquet was in progress, full of elegant ladies and fragrant wines. Qu Yunyao walked into the banquet hall wearing a white dress, and quickly spotted Xiao Yebai chatting with a few executives. Compared to the middle-aged bosses with receding hairlines or beer bellies around him, he was young, handsome, tall, with elegant glasses, he was undoubtedly the highlight of the banquet. Qu Yunyao noticed that many women were already frequently throwing glances at him, with the more daring ones even flirting openly. She wet her red lips and sat patiently in the corner, waiting until the crowd around Xiao Yebai gradually left. Then, he walked towards the balcony. Now is the time! Chapter 245 - Chapter 245: 245, I’ll drink for him. Chapter 245: 245, Ill drink for him. Translator: 549690339 Now is the time! Qu Yunyao hastily stood up in excitement. Just as she was about to stride over, her path was suddenly blocked by a man. Miss Qu? Qu Yunyao recognized him as Zhang Dechang, the Marketing Manager at Mo Familys Haicheng branch office. Yesterday afternoon, when she and Xu Rui wanted to discuss movie plans with Xiao Yebai, it was him that got scolded by Xiao Yebai in the hotel room for an entire afternoon, effectively disrupting their plans. Similar to many middle-aged men nowadays, Zhang Dechang was not tall and nothing to look at. He had a distinctively obvious beer belly and was slightly balding. Manager Zhang. Zhang Dechang was holding a glass of wine, and there was a lewd glint in his eyes as he looked at her. This niece of chairman Mo was really attractive, with her fair and delicate features. She was capable too and was a piano student, so she heard. Indeed, girls who study music tend to have a good temperament. That tiny waist of hers, he wanted to pinch it so badly. Did you come with Mr. Xiao? Qu Yunyao slightly lowered her head, a faint smile on her lips. She didnt deny it. Excuse me, Manager Zhang. I need to discuss something with my brother- in-law. Oh? I was just about to chat with Mr. Xiao about tomorrows schedule. Zhang Dechang continued to stare at her without blinking. Qu Yunyao, naturally aware of his ill intentions towards her, felt an urge to reject him. But she remembered the cold treatment from Xiao Yebai in the afternoon. With the presence of Manager Zhang, things might go smoother. So she put up with her disgust and said with a smile, Sure, after you, Manager Zhang. The beauty obliged, which delighted Zhang Dechang. He courteously bowed and extended his hand, After you, Miss Qu. Qu Yunyao nodded and followed Zhang Dechang towards the balcony. As they passed the bar, she gave the bartender a suggestive glance. ** Mr. Xiao. On the balcony, a tall and cold-formidable figure turned around at the sound of the voice. Xiao Yebai was dressed in a black shirt and pants, an impeccably tailored formal suit, accentuating his tall and upright figure. Under the slightly dim light, he looked elegant in his glasses, like an endearing male lead stepping out of a movie screen. Yet, his overly frosty aura made him seem aloof. This contradictory combination could easily incite fear in people. Because its unpredictable, it makes people cautious. Qu Yunyao began to feel glad that Zhang Dechang was there with her. I just happened to run into Miss Qu here, so we came over together. Zhang Dechang laughed heartily, his tone warm and familiar, Mr. Xiao, why didnt you mention that Miss Qu would be coming this time? Xiao Yebai had a straight face and didnt respond. Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Dechang decided to change the topic, Right, Mr. Xiao, the market survey data for tomorrows meeting with the developer is ready, and I will let Xiaoma send it to your mailbox after the banquet ends. All right. Zhang Dechang chuckled and proceeded to discuss some work matters. After all, he wont get a response from Xiao Yebai if he talked about anything else. Throughout the conversation, Xiao Yebai chimed in once in a while. Although he was not enthusiastic, the atmosphere was still amiable. Until a waiter passed by and Qu Yunyao suddenly spoke, One moment. The waiter stopped and walked over with a tray in his hands. Qu Yunyao reached out and picked a glass of red wine from the tray, Excuse me, I suddenly feel unwell and wish to retire to my room. Manager Zhang, Brother-in-law, lets toast to that. To prevent Xiao Yebai from suspecting anything, for both glasses of wine on the tray, Qu Yunyao had instructed the waiter to add aphrodisiac in advance. The dosage wasnt much but it was enough for a grown man to lose his self-control after consuming alcohol. She just needed to take a small sip purely as a formality, which wouldnt cause any problems. Its very kind of you Miss Qu. If youre not feeling well, you should rest early, Zhang Dechang replied, raising his glass with a smile. Qu Yunyao smiled gently, clinked glasses with him, and then turned toward Xiao Yebai. Mr. Xiao? Zhang Dechang kindly reminded. Xiao Yebai didnt reply, but he reached out and picked up the other glass of wine on the tray. A sigh of relief unknowingly escaped from the bottom of Qu Yunyaos heart. She watched as Xiao Yebais handsome fingers held the wine, and her heart pounded so hard it felt like it would pop out of her chest. The red liquid in the glass flowed slowly with his movements, and just as it was about to touch his lips Ill drink it for him! Qu Yunyao was stunned. Xiao Yebai halted his action. Zhang Dechang was utterly surprised. Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Mo Weiyi elegantly sauntered over from the end of the red carpet. She was beautifully made-up, looking radiant and energetic. Her red dress made her stunningly irresistible yet her sweet smile added a playful charm to her aura. Her thick, unstyled, curly hair spilled freely over her shoulders, adding a touch of seductiveness to her persona. Her dress trailed along the floor, and she held a delicately fashioned silver cane in one hand. If not observed closely, one would assume it to be simply an accessory. Zhang Dechang was mesmerized. He didnt expect to meet both Miss Qu and the elusive Miss Mo of the Mo family today. As he watched, he subconsciously started to compare the two. If Qu Yunyao was a beguiling lily, then Mo Weiyi, she was like a blooming red rose. Vibrant, confident, and flamboyant. Though she was merely twenty, she was still young and unripe, yet she possessed a commanding presence. Xiao Yebai had already put down his glass of wine and walked towards her. Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: 246, Reaping the Bitter Fruit Chapter 246: 246, Reaping the Bitter Fruit Translator: 549690339 | Approaching Mo Weiyi, she lifted her face to gaze at him, a charming smile on her face. A look of cunning satisfaction on her face. What brings you here so suddenly? Xiao Yebai spoke, glancing behind her. Dont worry, Rong An is outside. Under the dazzling chandelier in the banquet hall, a woman in a red dress suddenly hugged the tall, reserved man. Her voice, soft and girlish, cooed, Surprised? Unexpected? Xiao Yebai: Meanwhile, Zhang Dechang was asking, How come Miss Mo is here? Qu Yunyao: How would she know?! Flying all the way here with her injured leg, shes so headstrong! And she just ruined all her plans! As Qu Yunyao considered what to do next, Xiao Yebai approached with Mo Weiyi. Yunyao, Mo Weiyi looked at her, her surprised look seemed genuine, So you really are here, I thought it was odd when grandpa mentioned it, what are you doing here? Qu Yunyao blinked, quickly responding with a sweet smile, I came here with my boyfriend, Yiyi, why are you here too? Oh, I was bored at home alone, so I flew over to be with Xiaobai. Speaking, Mo Weiyi picked up the glass of red wine that Xiao Yebai had set down, Xiaobais stomach isnt good, he cant drink much, Yunyao, Ill drink a round for him. Having said that, she raised her glass and clinked it against Qu Yunyaos. Fearing suspicion, Qu Yunyao immediately lifted her glass and took a small sip. But Mo Weiyi asked, Whats wrong? Are you unhappy to see me? Why are you only drinking a little bit? No, not at all. Worried that Mo Weiyi might catch a glimpse of something she shouldnt, Qu Yunyao could only pick up her glass and take another small sip. Mo Weiyi lifted hers with a smile, Ill drink with you. Its rare that we meet, we must toast properly. Qu Yunyao was stunned: Mo Weiyi took a sip from her raised glass, then tilted her head in curiosity, Yunyao, whats wrong? With a stiffened face, Qu Yunyao had no choice but to lift her glass again. Her fingers, however, were trembling slightly. She had already had two sips, any more and she was sure to get into trouble quickly. But if she didnt drink, she would easily arouse suspicion from the people present. What to do? Perhaps because of her hesitation, the three of them were all already looking her way. Under everyones gaze, Qu Yunyao, finding herself in a difficult situation, finally made up her mind and downed the wine in her glass. Bravo! clapped Zhang Dechang enthusiastically, all the while heaping praises on her, Miss Qu is truly a heroine among women; she drinks with such gusto! Bottoms up! Looking at the empty glass, Mo Weiyi was also satisfied. She quickly raised her glass, intending to drink up, only for it to be snatched away by a clean, handsome hand before it reached her lips. Xiao Yebai, his voice low and clear, said, Your foot is injured, dont drink. Qu Yunyao quickly advised, Yes, Yiyi, your foot still hasnt fully recovered, its better not to drink. Alright then. Mo Weiyi obediently set down her glass. Qu Yunyao relaxed her taut nerves. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi only had a small sip, so it wouldnt raise Xiao Yebais suspicion. But she had just downed a full glass, she had to leave here immediately. Yiyi, brother-in-law, I want to go back first Oh yes, Yunyao. Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted her, Wheres your boyfriend? Where is he? Qu Yunyao answered casually, Hes toasting. Is he? Mo Weiyi looked around, What does he do for a living? Qu Yunyao didnt expect her to ask so many questions. She had been so indifferent to her at the Mo Familys, was she putting on a show for outsiders now? Moreover, the intoxicating effects of the wine were taking effect quickly. She could already feel a growing heat in her face. He makes films. Qu Yunyao answered briefly, wanting to leave as soon as possible, but who knew Is he a director? Thats impressive! Its alright, Qu Yunyao could feel her heartbeat speeding up. Xu Rui had mentioned that the intoxicating effects of this drug were potent, hence the modest dose. But she was a woman, and she had just drunk an entire glass. Her naturally delicate constitution was hypersensitive, and she was already reacting to it, feeling uncomfortably hot. Yet, Mo Weiyi kept talking. Ive never met a director in real life before, Yunyao, why dont you call him over and we can chat together. Mo Weiyi grew more excited as she spoke, Oh, I have a good friend who told me she wants to become a talent manager in the entertainment industry, could you introduce your boyfriend to her later? Sure, Qu Yunyao said as she raised a hand to touch her face. It felt so hot. She didnt need a mirror to know her face was bright red. She couldnt stay here any longer; she was afraid she might behave disgracefully! Yiyi, brother-in-law, Qu Yunyaos voice trembled slightly, I think I should get going now. Wait a minute, Mo Weiyi suddenly grabbed her arm, Yunyao, whats wrong, your face is so red? Startled, Qu Yunyao quickly went along with the claim, I tend to blush easily when I drink, and I think I drank too much just now. Is that so? Why didnt you say so earlier? Mo Weiyi continued to hold her arm, Why is even your hand so hot? Qu Yunyao looked embarrassed, she desperately pulled her hand back, I feel a bit dizzy. Im going to leave now.. Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: 247, accompany me for a drink Chapter 247: 247, accompany me for a drink Translator: 549690339 Qu Yunyaos face was filled with embarrassment and discomfort. She desperately pulled her hand back and said, Im feeling a bit dizzy. Ill go first. With that, she quickly turned around and left. She walked briskly, with large strides, like she was escaping. Mo Weiyi furrowed his delicate brows and looked perplexed, Xiaobai, whats with my cousin? Shes acting so strange. Xiao Yebai didnt respond. Instead, Zhang Dechang suddenly spoke up, Miss Mo, boss Xiao, Ill be taking my leave first. Mo Weiyi glanced at him and waved, Sure, sure, go ahead. Xiao Yebai watched as the man followed Qu Yunyao out. Behind his glasses, his deep eyes twitched imperceptibly. Xiaobai. Suddenly, a pair of soft hands embraced his arm. With the crowd gone, just the two of them were left on the large balcony. Mo Weiyi leaned her cheek against his shoulder, lips curled in a sweet smile. She was about to snuggle closer when Why didnt you let me know in advance when you were coming? His voice was deep and indifferent. But then it wouldnt be a surprise! Does my grandfather and others know? I came to see my husband, why should they know? Mo Weiyi said, tightening her grip around his arm, looking at the night sky outside the balcony. No wonder this tourism city is so famous. The night sky is really beautiful. You can even see the stars and the moon. The hotel stood by the sea, and not too far away was the mighty ocean. Under the night cover, the stars twinkled and the waves surged. Seldom did the two have such a romantic moment alone. Especially with the night sky, the stars, the sea, and red wine! Mo Weiyi immediately picked up the glass of red wine on the table and took a sip. She lifted her head and looked at the mans facial features under the dim light. They were more profound and exquisite. She couldnt help but hand him the glass, Xiaobai, have a drink with me. Stop drinking. Xiao Yebai took back the glass and placed it on the table, Youll genuinely get drunk. Mo Weiyi didnt hold liquor well. When she drank, it was easy for her face to flush. Sure enough, before long, Mo Weiyi suddenly said, My face feels so hot. Whats wrong? Mor Weiyi frowned, Xiaobai, touch my face. Is it hot? Xiao Yebai looked at her and then raised his hand. His cool fingers touched her cheek, and then he felt her forehead. It is a bit hot. Could I be running a fever? Mo Weiyi started to sulk. She had gone through a lot of trouble to come here by plane. If she fell ill due to acclimatization, it would be a total loss. Ill take you back to the room to rest first. Okay. * * Qu Yunyao, who was in worse condition than Mo Weiyi, felt overwhelmed as soon as she walked out of the banquet hall. She quickly took out her phone, finally finding Xu Ruis name and dialed it. But No one answered. She was getting desperate. The intense itchiness almost made her cry out. Although she hadnt been intimate with Xu Rui yet, she had no choice now but to seek an antidote from him. After several consecutive calls, still no one answered. That damn Xu Rui was so unreliable! Qu Yunyao had no choice but to go back on her own. She walked along, gripping her arm tightly, using the pain to keep her mind clear. She was incredibly embarrassed and empty. She wanted to break free from this cage, yet wished for something to relieve her pain. She finally made it to the elevator and pressed the button for the twentieth floor. A man, however, suddenly entered the elevator. Miss Qu, are you okay? It was Zhang Dechang again. Qu Yunyao hunkered down in the corner with her head low. She wanted him to leave, but was too weak to speak, so she just bit her lip hard to stay conscious. Miss Qu? Zhang Dechang approached. His unpleasant breath came over, and he asked, Miss Qu, are you not feeling well? In truth, Zhang Dechang had noticed something was wrong. He saw she had no response and directly picked her up. Qu Yunyao was barely conscious, aware of her danger. She reached out to push him away but her wrist was quickly grabbed by the man. Feeling uncomfortable, Miss Qu? Dont worry, Im here. The elevator stopped at the 10th floor, and Zhang Dechang forcibly led her away. Once in the suite, he threw her onto the bed. This was easy pickings. Only a fool wouldnt take advantage.. Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: 248, is the baby broken? Chapter 248: 248, is the baby broken? Translator: 549690339 | On the other side, Mo Weiyi followed Xiao Yebai back to the presidential suite upstairs. Xiao Yebai was on a business trip alone, not even with an assistant. After Rong An sent Mo Weiyis suitcase over, she consciously left. Mo Weiyi closed the door of the room, turned around, and saw Xiao Yebai standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His tall and stern figure, refined like jade, his long straight legs, his straight back, even his silhouette carried an air of aloofness. For some reason, she approached and hugged him directly, calling out softly, Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai turned around, Whats up? Mo Weiyi lifted her chin, with a hint of coquettishness. Xiao Yebai asked in a low voice, Why are your cheeks so red? Mo Weiyi shook her head subconsciously. She even let out a faint grunt. She behaved as if she were a kitten trying to please her owner. Weiyi, Xiao Yebai frowned, Do you have a fever? Do you want to go to the hospital? Mo Weiyi felt as if she was being intoxicated by his charming voice. She shook her head, her mind feeling somewhat dizzy, I dont I dont want to go to the hospital. Could she actually have a fever? Her head was dizzy and hot. But she didnt want to go to the hospital at all. Finally, she got to stay alone with Xiaobai in Haicheng. Mo Weiyi lifted her head high to look at the mans face that was close to hers. All the lights in the suite were on, the light was extremely bright, he was impeccably dressed, indifferent, his handsome features distinct, his jawline beautiful Mo Weiyi did not recall how she fell asleep. Until she was suddenly awakened by a severe cramp in her stomach. At first, she wanted to endure it, but gradually, she found it unbearable. In the end, she lost control and shouted out, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, Xiaobai Xiao Yebai always had a light sleep. He was completely awake by the time Mo Weiyi called out the third time. He turned on the bedside lamp, squinting slightly, his voice still carrying the deep and hoarse tone of just having woken up, Whats the matter? Mo Weiyi lay there, her face flushed, her hair messy, her eyes wet with tears, looking seductive, vulnerable, and pitiful. She pursed her lips sorrowfully and said, Xiaobai, my stomach hurts so bad. What happened? He reached out to pull back the covers, but her hand grasped it tightly as she said, It hurts. With that, tears already flowed from her eyes. Xiao Yebai immediately said, Ill take you to the hospital. Mo Weiyi nodded. She curled up in pain, letting Xiao Yebai dress her and then carry her out of the room. * * It was the middle of the night. They were strangers in Haicheng, and the hotel was by the sea, some distance from the city. Along the way, following the navigation guide, Xiao Yebai drove the car rapidly. Mo Weiyi shrank in the passenger seat, feeling waves of cramps in her lower abdomen, the pain was unbearable. However, she could still clearly hear the female voice in the navigation system constantly repeating: Youre speeding! Youre speeding! Youre speeding! Xiaobai Well be there soon. Xiao Yebai comforted. Mo Weiyi, squinting her beautiful cat-like eyes, looked at the mans tense face, and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She hadnt had her period for a while. Because she was dealing with Aunt Jiangs matters, she hadnt had time to go to the hospital for a check-up.. Could she be pregnant? Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: 249, a big misunderstanding Chapter 249: 249, a big misunderstanding Translator: 549690339 | Mo Weiyi squinted her beautiful cat-like eyes, studying the taut profile of the man next to her, when a thought struck her like lightning. Her period was late, but because shed been wrapped up in taking care of Aunt Jiang, she hadnt had the chance to make a doctors appointment. Could she possibly be pregnant? But the question arising in her mind was Could she have caused harm to her unborn baby? Could the pain in her stomach she was experiencing now be because of No! Tears sprung from Mo Weiyis eyes and streamed down her face. In a few minutes, she began to sob quietly. Xiao Yebai naturally heard her crying, but assumed she was in pain, so he tried to console her, Well be there soon, try to endure it a bit longer. Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi sobbed harder, I was wrong, I shouldnt have sneaked over here sob sob sob, I was wrong Xiao Yebai was at a loss. He knew Mo Weiyi was prone to tears, especially considering it was late at night, she was in a strange place, and feeling such stomach pain All he could do was free one of his hands for her to hold, focusing on driving and softly soothing her. Finally, they reached the hospital. As soon as they exited the car, Xiao Yebai scooped her into his arms and sprinted towards the entrance. Mo Weiyi could only hear the rhythmic pounding of the mans running as she laid in his arms. Gazing at his tense, cool, and serious features, noticing that in his haste hed even forgotten to put on his glasses- The man whod always been cold and indifferent, showing such concern for her, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but be moved. However, she felt even more guilt and regret. If Xiaobai found out she was pregnant and hadnt told him, and if her antics led to a miscarriage, would he be furious? A particularly intense wave of pain came from deep within her abdomen, followed by a sensation of something flowing out from between her legs. With a roll of her eyes, Mo Weiyi fainted. * * Half an hour later. In the gynecology on-call room, the female doctor stared solemnly at the handsome, refined young man before her. Hed brought his wife to the emergency room in the middle of the night, only to find out she was merely having her period. Picking up her pen, she asked, What is your relationship to her? Husband. The doctor looked up, adjusting her glasses as she asked, If youre already married, why does she still have such severe menstrual pain? Xiao Yebai stood there, his handsome face expressionless. After considering the doctors question, he replied coldly, Perhapsits due to travel fatigue. The doctor: Haicheng was a famous domestic tourist city, and as the National Day holiday was approaching, it was the peak travel season. Considering Xiao Yebais elegant and noble demeanor- And the conspicuous marks visible on the girls shoulder- She understood! The doctor furrowed her brow and began to fill out the form while reprimanding, Youre newly married and on your honeymoon, right? Its no wonder youre inexperienced. Let me tell you, in a couples relationship, you need to be careful about the frequency and intensity of sexual activities. You cant do it too often and you cant be rough. Young people these days, you cant take your health for granted. Xiao Yebai: * * When Mo Weiyi woke up, she found herself in a hospital room. A needle was inserted into the back of her left hand, and the IV bag hanging beside her was only half-emptied, leaving her feeling somewhat weak and powerless. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Yebai dozing on the sofa. Once the IV finishes, you can go home, the female doctor said, ripping the receipt off the pad and tossing it toward them, Alright, go pay the bill. Okay. * Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: 250, Xiaobai don’t leave Chapter 250: 250, Xiaobai dont leave Translator: 549690339 When Mo Weiyi woke up, she found herself lying in a hospital ward. A needle was pierced into the back of her left hand and only half of the liquid in the drip remained, leaving her feeling somewhat weak. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Yebai dozing off on the sofa. His shirt was crumpled because of the nights upheaval, his hair was a little messy, his eyebrows were tightly knit, his lips slightly pursed, and there was stubble on his chin He looked quite haggard. Yet, he was still devastatingly handsome. As if sensing her gaze, Xiao Yebai opened his eyes and got up, Awake? Mo Weiyi raised her hand subconsciously and held her lower abdomen, Xiaobai, I Youve started your period. Huh? Mo Weiyi opened her mouth in surprise, somewhat bewildered. Period? Xiao Yebai asked her, How do you not know when your period starts? In the middle of the night, he had driven at breakneck speed all the way to the hospital, only to find out that she had fainted from menstrual cramps. To top it all off, the female doctor had solemnly lectured him on the need to watch out for the frequency of such incidents. It was quite ridiculous. Mo Weiyi looked at him, uncertain whether to feel relief or disappointment. Diddid I really just start my period? Yes. Xiao Yebai came to the bedside, glanced at her abdomen, Does your stomach still hurt? Mo Weiyi pouted, looking pitiful, Yes, it hurts terribly. Xiao Yebais brows furrowed instantly. Looking at his handsome features, Mo Weiyi extended her hand that wasnt connected to the IV, whispered, Xiaobai, please give me a belly rub. Her beautiful cat eyes were clear and clean, the black and white distinct, as if they didnt contain a shred of impurity. She was probably in pain, as the corners of her eyes were slightly wet. With her pale cheeks and soft voice, she implored him to give her a belly rub He lowered his lashes and sat by the bed, Like this? Mo Weiyi gave a sweet smile and nestled herself in his arms, Yes, youve rubbed my stomach before, dont you remember? Xiao Yebai didnt reply. But he remembered that it should have been a long time ago, probably when Mo Weiyi had just started high school. Once, the school had conducted a surprise military training, and she had started her period the next day and was in terrible pain. He had had to drive to the mountains to fetch her as her father, Mo Yaoxiong, was out of town and she was crying badly on the phone. That night, just like now, she had pleaded with him in a soft voice to rub her stomach. And they had almost crossed a line After that, the Mo Family had specifically found a doctor to regulate her physique, and her menstrual cycles had been regular for years. It was a mystery why this time it was delayed and caused the stomachache. Could it really be because they had been too vigorous last night? Xiaobai. The soft, mellow voice called out from his arms again. Whats the matter? As she lay in Xiao Yebais arms, the scent she was familiar with and found comforting filled her nostrils. Mo Weiyis entire belly felt sweet, and so did her voice. She said, I think it might be because I had ice cream at noon yesterday. It had been too hot when theyd just gotten off the plane, so she had gotten Rong An to buy a big box of ice cream. If she had known this would happen, she wouldnt have eaten it Okay. Xiao Yebai answered, indicating he had understood. Please dont tell grandpa and father about this. Mo Weiyi added, I dont want them to worry. Alright. After a nights upset, Mo Weiyi was very tired. Leaning against the mans broad and firm embrace She was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep. Finally unable to stifle a yawn, her voice sounded sleepy, Xiaobai, Im a bit sleepy. Xiao Yebai glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was two in the morning. Does your stomach still hurt? he asked. Its much better. Xiao Yebai pulled over the blanket to cover her, Then sleep. As he was getting up to leave, she held onto his shirt. Mo Weiyis voice was soft and gentle, Xiaobai, dont go. I will sleep on the sofa. No, I want you to stay here with me. Mo Weiyi held onto his shirt tightly, her face appealing and pathetic. Knowing she couldnt sleep on her own, after a while, Xiao Yebai said, Ok. As he sank down again, Mo Weiyi snuggled back into his familiar arms, pleading adorably, You have to stay until I fall asleep. Yes. With his promise, Mo Weiyi finally closed her eyes with relief. Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: 251, pampered and spoiled Chapter 251: 251, pampered and spoiled Translator: 549690339 The room was quiet. Only a single wall lamp was lit. The slightly orange light was cast from the side. After taking his medicine, Mo Weiyi gradually slipped into sleep. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. Her sleeping expression was peaceful, like she was oblivious to the worlds affairs. Xiao Yebai watched for a long time. The little princess, who had always been pampered, had come to a foreign land this time, running around in the middle of the night She truly had suffered. A layer of a murky, unclear emotion gradually surfaced in his deep eyes. After a while, his long fingers delicately lifted, brushing aside the stray strands of hair on her cheek. * * Meanwhile, in the next room. When Qu Yunyao opened her eyes, she had no clue what time it was. Seeing Zhang Dechangs disgusting, greasy face that resembled a fat pig Zhang Dechang? What was he doing here? Qu Yunyao suddenly sat up in alarm. She only remembered that after drinking a glass of red wine, she was somewhat dazed and couldnt get through to Xu Rui on the phone. She wanted to get back to her room. After entering the elevator, she had suddenly run into Zhang Dechang Could it be that afterwards She felt waves of nausea at the back of her throat. Unable to hold back, she started to gag violently. Ughugh Whats with all the noise! An impatient male voice suddenly spoke up. Qu Yunyao jumped in fright. This damn fat pig! How infuriating! Anger, disgust, humiliation, regret All these emotions combined together forcing her to lash out, slapping him across his face. Zhang Dechangs whole face was pushed to one side by the blow and by the time he reacted, he returned her slap without a second thought. The man was quite strong. A bright red handprint instantly surfaced on Qu Yunyaos face. It was so painful that her eyes teared up instantaneously. You slut! Who gave you the courage to hit me? You What? Acting all pure and virtuous, who are you putting on a show for? Do you want me to take responsibility for you? Before she could respond, Zhang Dechang began to mock her. Let me tell you, in this matter, I was fucking forced by you. Youyou have no shame! Qu Yunyao was only nineteen and it was her first time dealing with such a scenario. Not only was she humiliated and slapped, but he was also trying to blame her saying that she had forced him? Grievance, fear, shame All these emotions made her tears fall uncontrollably. This pitiful image of her made a flicker of compassion flash across Zhang Dechangs heart. His tone softened a bit, Humph. Fortunately, last night, I was careful enough to record a video. I was afraid you wouldnt admit it. Saying this, he reached out, took his phone and played a video. Qu Yunyao could hardly believe her eyes and ears. But the woman in the video was unmistakably herself! Qu Yunyao tightly clenched her hands, shaking uncontrollably as if on the verge of collapsing, Ahhhhhhh! She let out a scream and reached out to snatch the phone. You stinking slut! Zhang Dechang forcefully pushed her, almost causing her to fall onto the carpet. The sound of the mans mocking laughter reached her ears again, Now you have nothing to say, right? If it wasnt for your begging, I would have Qu Yunyao covered her ears, Get lost, get the hell out of here! Zhang Dechang coldly replied, This is my room! Qu Yunyao grit her teeth. Then, she quickly got up, haphazardly dressed herself, opened the door and rushed out. Zhang Dechang didnt chase after her. Anyway, he still had the videos. In the future, wouldnt Qu Yunyao be entirely at his mercy? 3 * * Qu Yunyao had nowhere else to go, so she went to the room that Xu Rui had booked. By the time she got there, it was already late in the night. When Xu Rui heard the doorbell and found Qu Yunyao in this state, he was completely taken aback. Qu Yunyao swiftly entered the room and closed the door, then looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitating. Yunyao, what happened? Xu Rui was somewhat speechless. Having been with Qu Yunyao for half a year, they had always maintained a respectful relationship. Firstly, because Qu Yunyao was still young and even holding hands could make her blush. Secondly, his mind was not focused on personal relationships, so their relationship had been rather bland over this period. But now, seeing his girlfriend appearing as if shed been violated Was it Xiao Yebai? Xu Rui demanded angrily. His male pride couldnt bear such humiliation. He grabbed Qu Yunyaos shoulders, Yunyao, tell me, did Xiao Yebai bully you? This damn man, did you guys alreadyalready Qu Yunyao looked at him. In a short time, countless excuses flashed across her mind. But She couldnt disclose such a humiliating event. Moreover, she just couldnt bring herself to say it. Say something, Yunyao. Did that Xiao YebaL.did he drug you and then So Qu Yunyao gritted her teeth, Yes. Xu Rui was so shocked that he couldnt speak: Xu Rui. Qu Yunyao reached out and grabbed his arm, I know this is where I did wrong. But things didnt go according to plan. Im going to kill him! Xu Ruis eyes were bloodshot as he turned to rush out of the door. Xu Rui! Qu Yunyao hurriedly grabbed him, No, you cant go! Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: 252, Caught by a Woman Chapter 252: 252, Caught by a Woman Translator: 549690339 Why? Xu Rui growled. I Qu Yunyao bit her lip in humiliation. After a long pause, she then said, If we go now, wont all our efforts be wasted? Xu Rui didnt respond. But it was clear that he had been convinced. Qu Yunyao immediately added more fuel to the fire, And my cousin suddenly came, just in case, we must leave early tomorrow morning. Why? My cousin is overly suspicious. If she finds out were also staying at this hotel, shell definitely suspect something. Lets go back to Nancheng first, once my brother-in-law goes back, Ill talk to him about his investment plans. Xu Rui stared at her for a long time before saying, Yunyao, I dont want you to sacrifice so much for me So, are you rejecting me now? Qu Yunyao immediately retorted. Im not. Qu Yunyao let go of her hand, Xu Rui, Im doing all this for you, for our future, would I do this if not for your movie? Had you answered the phone last night and brought me back, would this have happened? Do you know that last night was my first time, and my first time was anything but beautiful. I initially planned to give myself to you on the day of your movie premiere, but now Ive been She lowered her head, sniffing, seemingly in great agony. Xu Rui quickly explained, Yunyao, I was in the shower at the time, I didnt hear the phone ring, and when I tried to call back, you never answered So you just comfortably slept in your room? Dont you care for your girlfriend at all? Qu Yunyao interrupted him, her eyes red from anger. Xu Rui was filled with shame and lowered his head, Yunyao, its all my fault Qu Yunyao interrupted again, If you think Im tainted and unworthy of you, then theres nothing to discuss, we can break up now. Thats not what I meant. Xu Rui stepped forward, embracing Qu Yunyao, Yunyao, it pains me to see you like this, Im guilty, Im sorry, its all my fault. Dont say anymore. Qu Yunyao covered his mouth yet breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. What she wanted was his guilt and self-blame! She wanted him to know he was the reason she lost her innocence, and he would owe her for the rest of his life! As long as you understand my intentions, Im willing to do anything for you, Xu Rui, I love you! Xu Rui, clearly moved, held her close, Yunyao, I love you, too. * * The next day. Rong An hurriedly arrived at the ward after receiving a phone call in the morning. Mo Weiyi was still sleeping. Outside the ward, Xiao Yebai, with an indifferent expression, said, Dont give her ice cream anymore. Rong An lowered his head, My mistake. When it came to pleasing the little princess, it was sometimes simply impossible to stop her. Not long after Xiao Yebai left, Mo Weiyi woke up. After menstruational cramps, the pain subsided, but having tossed and turned all of last night Mo Weiyi felt sore all over, and couldnt get out of bed at all. She rested in the hospital the whole day and only returned to the hotel with Xiao Yebai after he finished work in the evening. As they entered the lobby, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Are Yunyao and her boyfriend also staying here? Theyve already gone back to Nancheng. So soon? Mo Weiyi frowned, They didnt even say goodbye? They showed up without notice, and left in the same way. How impolite. The elevator door opened, revealing a familiar face. Mr. Xiao, Miss Mo. Zhang Dechang bowed and nodded. Mo Weiyi tugged at her lip as a form of informal greeting. After stepping into the elevator and the doors closed, she covered her mouth, laughing, Xiaobai, did you see Manager Zhang just now? Do you think those marks on his neck were made by a woman? Those red, bloody scratches were so exaggerated that they couldnt be concealed by a shirt collar. At least women could cover up with scarfs. As she thought so, Mo Weiyi quickly adjusted her scarf around her own neck. Last night was indeed wild, no wonder her stomach hurt so much afterwards, *cough*. Xiao Yebais gaze lingered over her neck before his eyes slightly narrowed behind his glasses. * * Mo Weiyis trip was far from enjoyable due to her unexpected period. Moreover, Xiao Yebai was genuinely busy. The companys branch here had some issues with a local developer. During the days of the business trip, he was busy attending meetings, liaising, and arbitrating. Mo Weiyi wisely didnt bother him. She spent her days strolling near the hotel, and in the evenings, she would dine with Xiao Yebai, then watch TV in the hotel room. Until the day they were due to return to Nancheng. In the afternoon, Xiao Yebai unexpectedly returned to the hotel. Mo Weiyi had just woken up from a nap and greeted him with surprise, Xiaobai, are you done with your work? Yes. Xiao Yebai undid his tie, unbuttoned his shirt cufflinks, and rolled up his sleeves. Then can you take me out to play? Mo Weiyi had already selected several places to visit, she quickly got out of bed, picked up the travel guidebook nearby, I want to go to Venus Park and the South Sea pedestrian street, and I want to visit the Underwater World, but we only have half a day.Jets go to the amusement park. Xiao Yebai: Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: 253, amusement park Chapter 253: 253, amusement park Translator: 549690339 The Haicheng Amusement Park not far from the hotel had a towering roller coaster suspended in mid-air. It looked somewhat intimidating. Rong An followed not far behind his princess, utterly baffled. This woman was so timid that she wouldnt even dare sit on a carousel, this woman with a limp and a crutch Why on earth would she come to an amusement park?! Xiao Yebai, a naturally cold-blooded creature, would absolutely not partake in such childish rides. Thus, that afternoon, he saw Mo Weiyi dragging Xiao Yebai around the amusement park. One moment watching bumper cars, others were playing, and she was laughing. The next, she was watching the rapid river ride, shrieking along with others. Then it was the roller coaster, where her screams at its highest point were even louder than those riding on it. At the end of the trip, Mo Weiyi bought a huge pile of gifts at the specialty shop in the amusement park. All were meant to be given to friends and family back home. Looking at the time, she said, Rong An, take all the gifts back to the hotel. Buy a few more suitcases and pack them all. Xiaobai and I are going to keep exploring the area. Rong An: Alright. Having purchased so many gifts, indeed, more suitcases were needed. Rong An hurried off, and Mo Weiyi smiled subtly. Hehe, finally, a chance to be alone together. Under the nightfall, Mo Weiyi wrapped her arms around Xiao Yebais arm, feeling the sweetness in her heart. Despite her inconvenient mobility, it was indeed a romantic feeling to wander the streets with the man she loved in this unfamiliar city. A building up ahead suddenly caught her attention. It was all golden and awe-grabbing under the night sky, looking very much like a gigantic golden lotus. It was spectacular. Xiaobai, whats that up ahead? Xiao Yebai looked over. It was a casino. One of the few legally licensed casinos in the country. ** Although Mo Weiyi grew up pampered in a rich family, it was her first time in a casino. As soon as they entered the main hall, it was packed. People crowded around the numerous gambling tables, enveloping the room with the roar of cash machines and the ringing of slot machines. Occasional loud shouts erupted from corners, adding to the indulgent atmosphere, leaving a dazzling impression on Mo Weiyi. His low and clear voice rang in her ear, Want to play? I dont knowhow. Despite her words, Mo Weiyis eyes were reluctant to leave the sight. It was said that one must gamble a few rounds when at a casino to have a true experience. Thus, Xiao Yebai exchanged for a pile of chips and led her to a private seat upstairs. Mo Weiyi sat to the side, watching him sit in front of the poker table. He held a half-burned cigarette between his thin lips, gracefully handling the cards with his slender fingers. Under the haze of the white smoke, his eyes behind his glasses were profound but obscure. The light cast shadows on his face, creating an effect of alternating brightness and darkness. In comparison to the other gamblers around him, he appeared refined yet aloof that had an air of being the sober one amidst the drunken crowd. As Mo Weiyi watched, she couldnt help but admire him in her heart. Indeed, her man was always the most unique and exceptional wherever he was. Not only his appearance and temperament, even when doing something as casual as gambling, he could still be so attractive. The most important thing was his photographic memory. Gambling, which relies significantly on memory, was childs play to him. As expected. After several rounds, there was a small mountain of chips piled up in front of him. Mo Weiyi even felt like the dealer was giving him strange looks. After another round, Xiao Yebai rose from his seat. Mo Weiyi rounded her eyes, Why arent you continuing? A little gambling brings fun. Xiao Yebai had no love for gambling. On the contrary, his clarity was somewhat frightening. The reason that casinos are enduringly profitable is because they exist off peoples losses. However, Mo Weiyi proposed, Let me have a go! Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly at her, a smirk on his face. Even though he didnt say anything, Mo Weiyi could tell-he was looking down on her! After all, in terms of academic performance or talent she was just average and could not measure up to Xiao Yebai. But Mo Weiyi refused to back down. Yes, she didnt have a photographic memory, but gambling was also about luck, right? As for luck, she had always been known for her good fortune from her childhood. Even kidnappings, a common threat in affluent families, had occurred to her several times. Yet, each time she managed to turn the tide in her favor. Her grandfather once told her that the Abbot of the Temple calculated her destiny when she was born and predicted she would enjoy wealth and peace for life. Having lived for twenty years so far, she fully believed in this prediction. Xiao Yebai didnt agree nor disagree. But seeing her enthusiastic about trying it out, he sat down in a nearby seat. After the dealer dealt the cards, Mo Weiyi started to play her hand with a serious expression. The game was Baccarat. She had seen it before in old Hong Kong movies, but she didnt understand it. She couldnt remember the cards or understand the pattern, she was simply guessing. In the end, the dealer indicated that it was time to reveal the cards. With a casual expression, Mo Weiyi slid her delicate and fair fingers over her cards and revealed her hand. The dealer glanced at her, then revealed a meaningful smile. Xiao Yebai: Sorry! After the dealer spoke, he swiped with his rake. The mountain of chips in front of Mo Weiyi was cleared all at once. Did she lose? Mo Weiyi froze. And she lost everything in one go? Uh. Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: 254, big sister Chapter 254: 254, big sister Translator: 549690339 She immediately said, Lets have another round. However, Xiao Yebai simply pulled her up, Its time to go back to the hotel. No! I still want to play. Mo Weiyi started to act childishly. You just lost all the money I won throughout the night and even got us into debt by several hundreds of thousands in an instant. Whats a few hundred thousand? Mo Weiyi didnt take it seriously, Its fun, I still want to play. This time, you teach me how to win. Xiao Yebai looked at her. Teach me, okay? I promise Ill listen to you! Mo Weiyi tugged at his sleeve, Xiaobai, please Xiaobai, Im begging you Xiaobai, whiny whiny whiny A young 20-year-old woman, with eyebrows that were delicately attractive, she emitted a dazzling light, pleading softly with you whilst making whining sounds Xiao Yebai could only raise an eyebrow, and sat back down. So, what followed was Mo Weiyi sat there responsible for picking and laying down the cards, while Xiao Yebai was murmuring instructions by her side. The situation was tense. The other gamblers at the table were all wearing serious expressions, concentrating intensely, but Mo Weiyi was left somewhat flustered by the mans low, clear and deeply resonant voice. Second card on the left. Second card on the left. It was not until slender fingers knocked twice on the green card table that Mo Weiyi was snapped back to reality and quickly reached for the second card on the left. When the final card was revealed, time seemed to stop for a moment. When the dealer smiled, indicating who had won Ah!!! Mo Weiyi screamed, hugging Xiao Yebai, almost leaping in excitement, Ive won! Ive won! Ive won! Xiao Yebai: The Little Princess, who has always been extravagant and has no concept of money, was now so happy to have won a few tens of thousands. Are you that happy? Xiao Yebais hand held a cigarette, his expression filled with an unconscious tenderness. Mo Weiyi nodded vigorously, her beautiful cat eyes widening in joy, Xiaobai, do you know? This is the first time Ive ever earned money by myself! Xiao Yebai: ** After a successful experience, subsequently, Mo Weiyi seemed to act like a pro. She sat there, her red lips sketched into a charming smile, her delicate and beautiful little face came alive in the light, her cat-like eyes were crafty, her eyebrows and eyes were expressive. According to the instructions of the man next to her, she played her cards boldly and swiftly, winning cleanly and efficiently. Soon, this pair of money-winning partners drew attention in the casino. Beautiful women in the casino were quite common, but young girls as young and as fierce as Mo Weiyi were rare. Especially with a cool and handsome young man alongside her. This combination produced a striking contrast. One was warm, one cold. One sweet and flirtatious, the other aloof and indifferent. But when they sat together, there was an oddly harmonious vibe to them. That night, Mo Weiyi had almost played with all the facilities in the casino. Although she didnt remember how to win, it was fine as long as Xiaobai was there! As long as Xiaobai was by her side, she could be a worry-free Little Princess for her entire life. Someone would always be there to cherish her, to love her, and she doesnt have to worry about anything. It was near 11 o clock at night. Mo Weiyi was already feeling sleepy, but she didnt want to leave. When Xiao Yebai was sitting at the card table, a cigarette lodged in his thin lips and his hands shuffling the cards, a small hand abruptly reached over, seizing the cigarette and mimicking his actions. She didnt draw on it. She merely raised her chin, half-closed her cat eyes, and gently blew at the cigarette. The white smoke quickly dissipated. In the smoky haze, her glamorous face was slightly flushed. Her honey-coloured curls enticingly falling onto her shoulders, exuding an air similar to those of cheongsam-clad women in old Shanghai, except she was younger, and her novice smoking posture was rather clumsy. But amidst her immaturity, there was a unique sweetness of youthful innocence. Xiao Yebai found himself captivated by her charm. ** The next day. The pictures of Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai in the Haicheng Casino were plastered all over gossip forums. [Mo Familys Little Princess spotted in Haicheng Casino, smoking with a dominance reminiscent of a gangster boss] [Mo Familys CEO gambles millions for a smile from his beloved wife] [Little princess shows her dominant side, making a perfect couple with her godlike partner] Such headlines were everywhere. Su Wanwan saw these news reports in the hospital ward. And when she saw the photo of Mo Weiyi pretending to smoke, with Xiao Yebai standing by her side with no expression on his face Su Wanwan felt as though a flock of crows was passing over her head. A 20-year-old rebellious young woman traverses half of China to Haicheng to gamble millions with her husband, even smoking to make it into the tabloid news. Tsk, tsk, tsk, shes a real rebel. After closing the gossip forum, Su Wanwan checked the time. She had already spent over half an hour in the ward. She got up, Grandpa, I have something on tonight, so Ill go first. On the bed, Su Xueqin nodded. Almost half a month later, the old mans hair seemed suddenly all white, his condition was devastated, his cheeks lost, as if he had aged another ten years in an instant. Wanwan, why not stay a while longer? Yuntang will be here soon, Jiang Yis flattering voice was heard. Su Wanwan didnt even look at her, No need, I just came to check on Grandpa, and since hes fine, Ill go first.. Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: 255, feeling guilty about your wrongdoing? Chapter 255: 255, feeling guilty about your wrongdoing? Translator: 549690339 Wanwan, Yuntang has been missing you The door of the ward was pushed open at this moment, and Su Yuntang walked in. He was wearing a simple, deep-grey suit, and although he was over forty, his figure was still robust and upright. In his brow and eyes, one could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth. Of course, this was only when he was silent. At the moment, as soon as he saw Su Wenwen, Su Yuntangs face darkened, and the harsh words already slipped out, Dont you know you have elders in the hospital? Your grandfather has been hospitalized for a long time. Do I need to invite you with eight sedan bearers to come? Su Wenwen looked up at him, If one day you are hospitalized, even if eight sedan bearers invite me, I might not come. Su Yuntang was instantly furious, You insolent brat! Now, Yuntang. Seeing the situation, Jiang Yi hurriedly came over to hold her husband back, smiling awkwardly, Wanwan, Yuntang also cares for your grandfathers health. The doctor said his age is advancing, his recovery is slow, and he hasnt been able to sleep well recently She prattled on for quite a while, but Su Wenwen listened without commenting. Or perhaps, she didnt know what to say. In the past, she felt that she could talk about anything with Su Xueqin, because in the Su family, Grandfather was the only elder who loved her. But ever since the incident with Su Yanyan, she felt that their relationship has changed a bit. Although she knew that Su Xueqin still cared for her, this love now seemed secondary to some other things. She understood, and she accepted it. However, once resentment settles in the heart, it really isnt easy to eliminate it for quite some time. After Jiang Yi had spoken for a while, seeing Su Wanwan still with a cold face, impervious to any reproach, she was frustrated but helpless. Because previously, Su Yanyan pretending to be pregnant and deceived the Xing family, the situation got seriously out of hand. Su Yanyan has been sent to study in South Korea, and Jiang Yi was blamed from all sides. Now she was extra careful in everything she did, even in her speech and behavior. Are we attending Chus old mans birthday banquet tonight? Su Yuntang suddenly asked. Su Wanwan moistened her lips, and responded with a Hmm. So Su Yuntang said, Everyone present tonight will be the prominent figures from the big families in Nancheng. Be careful about your behavior and dont embarrass me. Su Wanwan looked at him, speechless, Since Director Su is so afraid that Ill embarrass him, you dont have to go tonight. You ungrateful Knock, knock, knock. The door of the room was suddenly knocked a few times. Su Yuntang, biting his cheek, was furious, his face reddened, but he had to suppress his anger due to the knocking on the door. Jiang Yi went to open the door, and immediately raised her voice, Master Huo? Su Yuntang was taken aback. Su Wenwen also quickly turned around and saw Huo Jingshen standing there, dressed in a suit, with a box of vibrant nutritional supplements in his hand. He was followed by Ji Jie and another underling, both in suits, with items in both hands. The sight was so perfect that Su Wenwen was momentarily unable to look directly. Master Huo. Su Xueqin was pleasantly surprised, Youve come, why bring so many things? Wanwan asked me to buy it. Huo Jingshen said with an unchanging expression. Su Wenwen: It happened to be the weekend today, there were no classes at school, and she hadnt told him she was going to the hospital. After the brief greetings, Huo Jingshen had his underlings leave first. Then he sat on the sofa and began earnestly peeling the fruit. Apart from Su Wenwen, the other three were somewhat taken aback. After all, each time Huo Jingshen appeared before, he had a graceful and refined image, sophisticated but aloof. This kind of down-to-earth task seemed completely unrelated to him. But now, he was focused, with long, slender fingers, his fruit peeling was brisk and neat, one could tell at a glance that he was quite adept and often did this. As expected, a beautifully peeled pear soon appeared in his hand. Then, Jiang Yi saw him hand the pear to Su Wanwan. Everyone: Su Wanwan, holding the pear: She had thought he was peeling it for Su Xueqin. Su Yuntang sitting aside frowned, but he couldnt bring himself to say anything. Fortunately, Huo Jingshen quickly peeled another one, put it in the fruit plate, cut it into small pieces, and inserted toothpicks. Just as he was about to stand up Jiang Yi hurriedly came over to take the fruit plate, Let me do it, let me do it. Huo Jingshen gave a slight smile, Tonight, I still need to accompany Wanwan to attend an elders birthday banquet. Grandfather, we will leave first. Su Xueqin told his son, Yuntang, send Master Huo off for me. Grandfather doesnt have to be so distant, just call me Jingshen. Su Xueqin nodded, Alright, Jingshen. After leaving the hospital, Su Wanwan asked him, How did you know I was here? Huo Jingshen glanced at her lightly, I didnt. Huh? I was just visiting my grandfather. Su Wanwan: I cant believe your lies! It must have been Aunt Liu who told him. Now well take my darling to get a makeover. Huo Jingshen said. Su Wanwan looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed. She didnt know if she was being overly suspicious, but ever since their unsuccessful attempt to catch him in an affair, he had been extremely good to her these few days, almost complying with her every request. Was it his guilty conscience? Or was he just feeling guilty? ** Half an hour later, the black curtain car finally stopped. It was the same styling salon as last time.. Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: 256, Mrs. Huo Chapter 256: 256, Mrs. Huo Translator: 549690339 | Since they had already visited the salon once, the manager led the two of them into the VIP room with utmost courtesy. Washing hair, hairstyling, skincare, makeup everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. At the end, looking at her transformed look in the mirror, Su Wanwan was quite satisfied. Not bad. She was so stunning that she almost didnt recognize herself. Mr. Huo, the makeup is done. What do you think? The makeup artist asked earnestly. Huo Jingshen came over, standing behind her. Su Wanwan was watching him through the mirror too. He had already got his styling done. Males were rather straightforward. There wasnt much difference whether they got styled or not. Still dressed in a three-piece black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, he maintained his habitual elegance and charisma. The makeup is too heavy. Huo Jingshens voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan furrowed her small face, What do you mean? Huo Jingshen gave a slight smile, his hands moving downward to grip her slender shoulders, I like my baby without makeup, shes particularly beautiful. Su Wenwen immediately retorted, So, you mean that Im not beautiful now with makeup? Huo Jingshen, Actually, Su Wenwen was already beautiful herself. She has delicate features and looks especially pure without any makeup. Most men prefer pure women. The purer the woman, the more it evokes a desire in men to ravish and ruin them. This is the so-called innate primitiveness deep in a mans heart. Of course, Su Wanwan was unaware of what he was thinking inside, but when the makeup artist was about to remove her makeup, she directly said No need. After speaking, she glared at Huo Jingshen, Just like this! I think Im prettv this way! * Huo Jingshen was puzzled at why his wife glared at him for no reason, feeling quite innocent. 6 Why did it seem like this little girl increasingly disregarded her own husband? Next was the selection of clothes, jewelry, and shoes. The assistant brought over several gift boxes. Inside the boxes were gowns, crystal high heels, and a whole set of pearl jewelry. Su Wanwan looked at one of the gowns. The light goose yellow dress was made of gauze fabric and gave off a gentle sheen under the light. Its design exuded a sense of romance and dreamy elegance. Mrs. Huo, this dress has been adjusted according to your size. The color scheme suits your makeup well, and the design is simple yet elegant, perfect for attending seniors birthday parties. fnc^ hWeVeraSked DyUhaWtherdreSSeS?Somethingbrfghter Yes, yes we do. The stylist quickly assured, Mr. Huo has ordered multiple sets of dresses, but we have prepared a duck egg yellow set for today I want to wear something in red. Do you have that? Yes, but Then I want the red one. Huo Jingshen: The stylist: A second later, Huo Jingshen spoke again, Do as Mrs. Huo wishes. Only then did Mrs. Huo bring the corners of her lips up in satisfaction. After all, they were going to attend Mr. Chus birthday banquet today. As his granddaughter, Sister Jingyi would definitely be present. Therefore, when it comes to rivals meeting, jealousy is inevitable. And when it came to dressing, she couldnt absolutely lose! ** So, at seven oclock in the evening. When Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan appeared in the banquet hall, they instantly attracted many peoples attention. Firstly, this was Huo Jingshens first public appearance since he returned to the country. Moreover, he was attending with his mysterious wife. Secondly, Su Wanwans outfit today was quite eye-catching. She was wearing a wine-red pleated skirt. The color of the red skirt was very rich, with a form-fitting design on top and pleats on the bottom. The thin waist belt drew out her soft and graceful figure Paired with her curly black hair, she looked very classy. Her skin was as white as snow, and her beautiful face with delicate makeup shone even brighter against the red skirt. The tiny beauty mark at the corner of er eyes added a finishing touch, making her look enticing and incredibly attractive. In short, at a glance, Su Wenwen was beautiful and fair-skinned and her eyebrows were like paintings. Even when standing next to Huo Jingshen she did not look inferior. When the two stood together, the man was handsome and the lady was beautiful. They were indeed a perfect match and a feast for the eyes. In a corner, Xing Siqing was chatting with her friends and heard the noise at the entrance. When she looked up, her face changed instantly. This despicable bitch! It was Mr. Chus birthday party today. Everyone knew that the Chu Family was a renowned scholarly aristocratic family in Nancheng. The guests were either relatives and friends of the large families or famous and distinguished guests from the literary and academic circles. All the female guests were noble ladies from high society who paid attention to their modesty, low profile, and inner refinement! When it came down to the selection of dresses, they generally chose elegant and dignified styles. But look at this Su Wenwen. She actually wore all red and had a big smile on her face. It was as if she was showing off! Siqing, isnt that your elder brother and sister-in-law? A friend asked. Does she think she can turn from a chicken into a phoenix by dressing up like this. She should be mindful of the occasion. Xing Siqing gritted her teeth, Dressed up like a vixen, shes just putting herself on display. Its absolutely disgraceful to the Huo Family! Just as she finished saying that, the surrounding area fell silent. Upon turning her face, Xing Siqing saw Jingyi who seemed to have come over sometime back. Jingyi was standing in front of the sofa, quietly looking at her. She then noticed the red evening dress on Jingyi. Xing Siqing turned pale with fright, immediately standing up, jing jingyi I m sorry! I wasnt talking about you. Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: 257, Illegitimate Child Chapter 257: 257, Illegitimate Child Translator: 549690339 Xing Siqing turned pale with fright, immediately standing up, Jin Sister Jingyi, Imsorry, I wasnttalkingaboutyou. What rotten luck she has! Chu Jingyi is the eldest sister among several major families in Nancheng. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a goddess-level figure, high above, only to be admired from a distance. Just today, Chu Jingyi happened to be wearing a red dress too, and its bright red, making it more vibrant than the one on Su Wenwen. Furthermore, its a low-cut, high-split style that wraps her exquisite figure provocatively, so sexy its sinful. In fact, this kind of dressing is quite in line with Chu Jingyis usual style and mature temperament, its just that Xing Siqing just happened to make that comment, and now the surrounding people all have a look of expecting a good show. This made it seem like she was talking bad about Chu Jingyi. Sister Jingyi. Xing Siqing was at her wits end, desperately trying to explain, I was talking about SuWanwan just now, please dont misunderstand. Chu Jingyi took a casual glance at Su Wanwan, then retracted her gaze, What has she done to you? Seeing Chu Jingyi apparently not upset, Xing Siqing immediately said, Sister Jingyi, you just returned to the country and may not be aware, this Su Wanwan used to be a petty woman. She was very unruly during high school, and I dont know what witchcraft she used to ensnare my elder brother. Chu Jingyi chuckled lazily, Your elder brother is not a child, Siqing. Be careful, he might hear you saying these things. Sowhat if he hears? He never liked me anyway! Xing Siqing became angry the moment this was brought up. Now she was forced to work at the sales department of Huo Yuans real estate company, all thanks to Huo Jingshen! Chu Jingyi raised her delicate eyebrows, Would you like to come over and say hello with me? I dont want to! That wench injured me just a while ago. I had to stay indoors to recover for more than a month. I dont want to see her! This has happened? Chu Jingyi was surprised. It seems like this girl was being polite to her. Xing Siqing hastily recounted all their past conflicts, embellishing where she could. In the end, she said, If only you hadnt given up Brother in the beginning, Sister Jingyi, then my elder sister-in-law wouldnt be that vile woman. Chu Jingyi laughed again, In this world, there are many what-ifs. We are all just mortals in this world, not gifted with foreknowledge. Who would have known the decision made out of impulse would affect life later? Who would have known the person that you loved crazily in your youth would turn coldhearted, and end up becoming the one you dislike the most? Maybe this is all destiny. ** Meanwhile, Huo Jingshen was introducing Su Wanwan to the birthday star of the day. Old Mr. Chu was dressed in a long red robe with gold trim, twirling Buddha Beads in one hand and wearing a designer watch that his great-grandson had bought for him on his wrist. He looked extremely pleased. But his joy was short-lived, as soon as Old Mrs. Huo walked over with Fu Ziyang, all his well-wishing friends, who had been circling around him, shifted their attention to the children. Wow, this boy is so handsome! Indeed, look at those big eyes; they hint at his cleverness. He looks like an exact copy of Ashen. Yes, absolutely. Su Wanwan couldnt help but look over. Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang were standing together, both dressed in black three-piece suits, wearing identical burgundy ties. The two of them, one tall, one short, one adult, one child, both with expressionless faces and aloof demeanors. It truly felt like they were mini versions of each other. Su Wanwan felt that if she hadnt heard Fu Xihan over the phone, she would have really doubted if these two were indeed father and son. Werent they just too similar? Just then, a voice echoed her sentiments. Oh? When did big brother have a illegitimate son? It was Chu Xiuhuang. Compared to all the other men at the party dressed in formal suits, the birthday stars eldest grandson, Chu Xiuhuang, seemed to be dressed too casually. He wasnt even wearing a jacket, just a black shirt hung loosely on his body. With three or four buttons unbuttoned, revealing a wide expanse of his chest and a sexy collarbone. His sleeves were also rolled up, and his hands were shoved into the pockets of his suit pants. With his lips curved and his charming eyes gleaming, no one would guess that he was in the midst of a birthday party. Indeed, when Old Mr. Chu saw his grandsons ruffian-like appearance, his face fell instantly, What nonsense are you spouting, you little scamp? Grandfather, its your birthday, be happy! After that, Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow at Grandfather Chu and said, So, what do you think? This watch looks pretty cool, right? Doesnt the little old man think hes quite prestigious today? The Tittle old man had hit the nail on the head, and his half-white beard trembled in agitation. However, the surrounding old men and women immediately began praising Chu Xiuhuang for being sensible and for bringing good fortune to Grandfather Chu. Su Wanwan found the watch very familiar and couldnt help but look at it a few more times. The more she looked at it, the more it reminded her of the one that Mo Weiyi tried to buy for Xiao Yebai last time. Oh. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly looked at her, the corner of his mouth curling into a wicked smile, Little miss looks quite divine today! SuWanwan was taken aback, then smiled slightly, Thank you. Chu Xiuhuang was indeed a bit dazzled. Because every time he saw Su Wanwan before, she was casually dressed and barely wore makeup. Combined with her youthful looks, she seemed like a tender bud next to the mature and stable Huo Jingshen. In his eyes, accustomed to seeing all kinds of beauty, she was at most considered fresh and natural. But todays outfit made her completely unrecognizable. It shed her girlish immaturity, adding a bit of a womens gracefulness. Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: 258, Chu Er has no class Chapter 258: 258, Chu Er has no class Translator: 549690339 | But todays attire made her look like a completely different person; losing the innocence of a little girl and adding more charm of a young woman. Right now, shes only twenty and already so impressive; what will she be like in several years? Well, well, well, no wonder the old man hurriedly got married; it was all so sudden With this thought, he shot a lewd gaze at Huo Jingshen implying, Big brother, youre quite fortunate in this respect. The person who was noted as being fortunate just glanced at him, Why didnt you bring a date today? I did. Chu Xiuhuang responded with an air of haughty pride, There wasnt any good place to park nearby, so I came up first; I let her find the parking spot. Su Wanwans impression of him immediately worsened. What kind of boyfriend is this? He lets his girlfriend find a parking spot? And he comes up by himself? So unrefined! The theme of todays birthday banquet is a charity auction, and almost all the items for auction are the personal collections of the old Chu. Funds raised from the auction will all be donated to the Hope Primary School Project. This is also a kind act by Chu Family as an Aristocratic intellectual family to give back to educational endeavors in society. After the hosts opening remarks, Su Wanwan took a seat with Huo Jingshen, sharing a table with Chu Xiuhuang. Ladies and gentlemen, the first auction item today is a relic of Tang Yin from the Ming Dynasty After the first item was auctioned off, Su Wanwan suddenly saw Shi Huan walking over and sitting down next to Chu Xiuhuang. Still in the unvarying black suit, wearing glasses big enough to cover most of his face, his appearance was completely different from the other womens meticulous dress-up. The expression on his face was cold and aloof, as if he was just a passerby who might leave at any moment. Su Wanwan found it somewhat surprising, was Shi Huan playing the role of both secretary and female companion? Do you like this necklace? Huo Jingshens deep voice sounded in her ear. The auctioneer on stage was now showcasing the second auction item: an emerald jadeite necklace. It was made of precious emerald jadeite, delicately crafted, with a transparent color. It looked luxurious and exquisite. Under the light, it exuded a lustrous glow, easy to recognize it as a high-quality piece at first glance. As Su Wanwan was watching, the auctioneers voice rang again, This necklace was personally carved by the famous European artisan, Mr. Steve, and generously donated by Miss Chu Jingyi. Lets thank Miss Chu for her kindness and for her strong support for charitable causes. At these words, everyone clapped enthusiastically. At the next table, Chu Jingyi stood up, accepting everyones gaze with a beaming smile. Su Wanwan raised her chin, Dont like it! Huo Jingshen: The starting bid is 880,000; lets start the bidding. No sooner had the auctioneers words fallen than someone made an offer 980,000. One million! 1.2 million! 1.28 million! 1.4 million! 1.6 million! Su Wanwan listened in a daze. Indeed, she didnt understand the world of the rich, who would bid so much for a necklace someone else had worn? The price kept going up until it was finally auctioned off for a high price of 3.88 million. There were still many items left for auction, Su Wanwan sat for a while and then stood up, I am going to the restroom. Huo Jingshen nodded slightly. Not long after Su Wanwan left, Chu Jingyis phone rang. She glanced at it, picked it up, and also left her seat. ** Su Wanwan sat in a cubicle in the restroom. Not long after, she heard Chu Jingyis voice, apparently on the phone. Her voice was lazy and arrogant as ever, accompanied by occasional bouts of girlish giggling. Soon, another voice sounded, Sister Jingyi? What are you doing here? Chu Jingyi hung up her call, Siqing. It was Xing Siqing. Su Wanwan hadnt seen her for a long time; she hadnt noticed her in the banquet hall earlier, it seemed she must have come with Huo Qinyu. Indeed. Sister Jingyi, I heard from mom that the jadeite necklace just now was the one grandma gave to you, wasnt it? Chu Jingyi was silent. Su Wanwan listened and frowned. A necklace that Grandma Huo had given to Chu Jingyi? It seemed that Grandma Huo must have really liked this Chu Jingyi Then Xing Siqing continued, Was it because Big Brother got married that you donated the necklace to be sold? When you and Big Brother were engaged as children, Grandma specially had a European master carve it, it is a pity to sell it Su Wanwan couldnt listen anymore to the words that followed. She couldnt stand it. And she didnt want to stand it either. So, during Xing Siqings heartfelt remarks, a loud clang suddenly rang out, startling her. As soon as she realized that Su Wanwan was the one who came out of the cubicle, she immediately covered her chest, and said disdainfully, You sneaky person, hiding and eavesdropping when were talking? Su Wanwan gave a cold laugh, Its interesting how you are blind to the presence of others, and just chatter away here, then accuse someone else of eavesdropping. Chu Jingyis gaze swept over her disdainfully. Su Wanwan met her inspection with a cold face. They were wearing the same dress! And it was even the same color! Compared to her elegant dress, Chu Jingyis dress was certainly sexier and more feminine. The fiery red dress, body-hugging, low-cut, with a high slit, presented her exquisite body to perfection. AU her wine-red curls were carefully gathered at the back of her head, revealing her white neck, exquisite collarbone, and the faintly visible cleavage. A domineering look in her eyes, an arrogant gaze, plus her height of over 1.7 meters, she exuded mature female confidence and charm from head to toe.. Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: 259, incompatible Chapter 259: 259, incompatible Translator: 549690339 | I get it. Xing Siqing suddenly laughed, Did you get upset after hearing that grandmother presented Sister Jingyi with that necklace 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 her lapdog? I would almost suspect youre her maid. You Siqing. Chu Jingyis voice rang out lazily, 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 never compete 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 placed. 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 place 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 be competing 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, the competition 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 necklace, I feel this one could compensate for my loss. Moreover, it would suit me better. This was an imperial green jade necklace, 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 black 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 clarified bluntly, Sister, youve played 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 welcome Mr Huo, the winner of this auction, to the stage. Lets give him a big round of applause. Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: 260, definitive proof of a scumbag. Chapter 260: 260, definitive proof of a scumbag. Translator: 549690339 | In the midst of thunderous applause, Huo Jingshen sat motionless. Because Su Wanwan had not returned. Not until the host asked him for the umpteenth time did Chu Xiuhuang lean in with a low cough, Big brother, wouldnt a surprise be better? Huo Jingshen gave the entrance a lackluster glance before begrudgingly standing up. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly walked onto the stage and took the jade necklace handed over by the usherette. Under the spotlight, the man stood tall and handsome, dashing, unmatched in charisma. What a pity The main character wasnt present. May I ask, Mr. Huo, why did you choose to bid 25.20 million for this necklace?1 Because, Huo Jingshen smiled, This is for my treasure: Two, Five, Two Zero. Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang let out a laugh. Five Two Zero is easy enough to understand, but what does this Two mean? That s interpretation varies person to person. Chu Jingyi looked up at the stage, a faint smile playing on her red lips, but a flash of derision quickly passed through her eyes. At the beginning, she indeed had her eyes set on this Royal Green jade necklace. But after Huo Jingshen upped the price, she knew he intended to gift it to Su Wanwan, hence, she decided to compete for it no matter how high the price went. Even though the price ended up far exceeding her budget. I see. Wow, thats the most touching confession Ive ever heard, congratulations to Mr. Huo, and to Mr. Huos sweetheart. The applause was thunderous, the lights flickered. After the interview ended, Huo Jingshen descended from the stage. The host began introducing the next auction item, a replica of the Goddess of the Luo River hand-painted by Master Chu himself. As the old man took to the stage and began his detailed explanation, the venue fell silent, everyone fully invested in his speech. It was until Chu Jingyi casually turned her head that she noticed the next seat over, Huo Jingshen had vanished. Looking over to the other side, even Madam Huo was also missing. ** Huo Jingshen dialed Su Wanwans number in the corridor. Beside him, Madam Huo was anxiously checking the time, her brows furrowed. Grandma, take Ziyang home to sleep first. The time was already past nine when Huo Jingshen put his phone down, Wanwan didnt answer the phone, Ill go check the restroom. I hope nothings wrong, Madam Huo was worried. Tonight was Master Chus birthday banquet. She brought only Fu Ziyang with her, initially planning a brief appearance before returning home, yet her daughter-in-law had suddenly gone missing. Nothing will happen, shes not a child, Huo Jingshen assured her. Considering how late it was, Madam Huo had no choice but to agree, Alright, call me when you find her. Goodbye, Uncle Huo, Fu Ziyang politely waved his little hand. After bidding goodbye to his grandmother and Ziyang, Huo Jingshen went to wait outside the restroom. He was wearing a crisp black three-piece suit. Due to his anxiety, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. His whole demeanor was quite serious. As the minutes ticked by, the mans expression grew increasingly tight. Eventually, a woman exited, prompting Huo Jingshen to step forward and ask, Is there anyone else inside? Startled by being stopped unexpectedly, the woman was initially spooked. But upon seeing the mans handsome face, she instantly fluttered-blushing, she asked shyly, Are you looking for someone? Huo Jingshen nodded, Could you help me see if theres anyone else inside? Alright. With her face still red, she turned to go back inside to check. Soon enough, she came back out, Sir, theres no one else inside, may I ask Before she could finish, Huo Jingshen turned around and walked away. The woman: ** Huo Jingshen had searched the entire floor of the banquet hall without catching sight of Su Wanwan. Holding onto a sliver of hope, he drove back to the Imperial Court. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was met with a brightly lit villa. When he made it to the upper floor and pushed open his bedroom door. As expected. Su Wanwan was lying on the sofa, still wearing her red dress. It appeared as though she had fallen asleep. The coffee table was littered with bottles of beer, red wine, liquor strewn about, some empty, others mostly full. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol. Huo Jingshens brow furrowed as he quickly approached her. Su Wanwans little face was flushed red from drinking. Although she had her eyes closed, she looked blissfully asleep. Except Her red dress was dirty and stained with dust, the hem even looked ripped, and her legs and feet were marked with blood His frown deepened instantly. He picked up the phone on the table. Among the dozens of missed calls, all were from him, the phone was even set to silent mode. This little miscreant Resigned, Huo Jingshen went downstairs. Five minutes later, he was back in the bedroom, a medical kit in hand. Just as he was about to treat her wounds, Su Wanwan sat up abruptly. With wild hair and dazed eyes, she locked onto him with surprise accuracy. Then, she opened her mouth. Scum! Huo Jingshen was taken aback. Scum! Su Wanwan repeated, then she slid her legs down from the sofa and tried to stand up. Huo Jingshen grabbed her right away, Where are you going? I want to drinkburp Drink, drink, drink, youre already drunk, and you still want to drink! Huo Jingshen felt like he was disciplining a child. I want to drink! Su Wanwan retorted, then Huo Jingshen pushed her back onto the sofa. She fought back against him while under the influence, pushing him, scratching him, punching him, kicking him. All the while she was ranting in her drunken fury, shouting, Dont touch mescumliarburp.disgusting hooligan! Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: 261, very good at climbing walls Chapter 261: 261, very good at climbing walls Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshen felt a throbbing in his temples and after several unsuccessful attempts to quell Wanwans chaos, his face darkened, threatening sternly, If you continue to cause a commotion, Im going to spank you! Su Wanwan immediately quieted down as if genuinely frightened. A sigh of relief escaped from Huo Jingshens heart, his expression quite satisfied. Indeed, she was still most afraid of this move. But who knew, in the next second- Whaaa, youre bullying me you always bully me whaaa Su Wanwan broke down crying. Perhaps due to the alcohol, her sobs were wrenching, tears and snot streaming down her face, making her a picture of utter misery. Huo Jingshen sat there, allowing her to cry for what seemed like ages. When her crying finally died down, he found his voice, sternly questioning, Why did you run home without a word? And why are you getting drunk here, turning the place upside down, and even ignoring your phone? Do you think thats acceptable behavior? Su Wanwans eyes were red and swollen, and she hiccupped a few times, making no reply. Huo Jingshen continued to lecture, Do you know how worried grandma is about you? Youre already twenty years old, cant you at least understand how to behave? Despite his nagging, Su Wanwan failed to respond. Glancing up, he realized shed closed her eyes as if shed already fallen asleep. Obviously, all the words hed said had fallen on deaf ears. After a while, resigning himself, Huo Jingshen sat down beside her, picking up the medical kit to tend to her wounds. They were mostly superficial wounds, but there was a particularly severe one on her right leg. A long gash stretched from her kneecap down to her calf, trickling with blood. The sting from the alcohol disinfectant caused Su Wanwan to cry out in pain, Ouch Huo Jingshen stopped his movements, waited for her furrowed brows to relax, and then softly asked, How did you injure your leg? With her eyes still closed, Su Wanwan began to answer, No keys hie I I climbed over the wall Huo Jingshen: A truly capable wife. She can even climb walls! Shes very good at it! Under the warm lamp light, the tall and handsome man sighed softly, continuing to earnestly and meticulously tend to his wifes wound. * * The next morning arrived. The bedroom remained dark behind the heavy curtains, but Su Wanwan had been jolted awake by a throbbing pain. Her head hurt so much! It felt as if it was going to split apart! It had been quite some time since she last drank so much alcohol. She was so angry last night and had nowhere to vent. The only thing she had on her was her cell phone, so after getting a cab back home, she rummaged through the kitchen and found all the bottles of alcohol Huo Jingshen had stashed away and drank them all. She reached out a hand to hold her throbbing head, but found herself unable to move. Huo Jingshen was sleeping beside her and shed been changed into her pajamas. Recalling the incident from the birthday banquet last night, she felt a surge of anger and raised her foot to kick him. Originally, she wanted to kick him out of the bed, but who knew- After a resounding thump, Su Wanwan let out a scream. Huo Jingshen woke up abruptly, turning on the bedside lamp. The room was instantly flooded with light. Su Wanwan, wearing her pink bear patterned nightgown, was sprawled clumsily on the carpet, her mouth humming in discomfort. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but be amused and yet felt pity for her, quickly getting out of bed to help the disheveled girl back up. Indeed, there was an evident red and swollen patch on her forehead which appeared to have hit the coffee table. Even sleeping could result in her falling to the floor. Was she a three-year-old kid? Huo Jingshen was truly rendered speechless. Instead of sleeping peacefully, what are you up to so early in the morning? My head hurts, Su Wanwan said, her eyes closed, her brain feeling fuzzy from the fall. Where does it hurt? Almost instinctively, Huo Jingshen asked. It hurts it hurts so much Su Wanwan dragged out her words, whimpering weakly. Huo Jingshens heart softened. He lifted her up, rubbing gently at the swollen spot on her forehead. Thankfully, the skin wasnt broken. Just as he was about to leave, Su Wanwan grabbed his hand, placing it on her temple, It hurts here. Huo Jingshen looked down at her. He had cleaned and treated her wounds before bed, and had even washed her face. Now, refreshed and wearing her pink pajamas, her pretty face appeared rosy from sleep. Her beautiful eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes curving upwards, laden with a thin layer of moisture Drink so much wine, and you deserve the pain! Huo Jingshen rebuked, but his hand was already massaging her temple. Su Wanwan snapped back, Its your fault for lying to me! When did I ever lie to you? I heard everything! Su Wanwans voice trembled with grievance, You lied to me told me she was just a friend of yours. You told me she was already married. But actually, you were childhood sweethearts and now shes divorced and back to get you, hmph! Huo Jingshen: His first thought was, how did she learn about this? Seeing him silent, seemingly admitting to it, Su Wanwan fiercely pushed him away, Liar, cheater! Dont touch me! Huo Jingshen had just grabbed her hand when she kicked at him again, managing to land several blows in a matter of moments. While kicking, she continued to yell, Liar! Youre a liar! Youre a heartless bastard! Hie an absolute jerk! After enduring her repeated blows and verbal abuse, Huo Jingshen began to lose patience, his deep voice filled with a dangerous warning, Are you itching for a beating? Su Wenwen thrashed about, screaming hysterically, Heartless bastard, dont touch me! Huo Jingshen halted his movements, Say that one more time. Su Wanwan glared at him defiantly with her beautiful eyes, and then repeated, Heartless bastard, dont touch me! Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: 262,1 want a cold war Chapter 262: 262,1 want a cold war Translator: 549690339 | Ha. Huo Jingshen let out a cold laugh, Youre my wife. I touch you, its right and proper. Su Wanwan hurt so much! But she couldnt break free at all. Like a piece of fish on a chopping board, she could only let him bully her. His strength was great, she couldnt dodge him. Then, Su Wanwan, in anger, opened her mouth and bit him hard. Huo Jingshen let out a muffled groan. Then, he squinted at her. His fine and good-looking lower jaw was dyed a smear of blood-red. It added a touch of bewitching and dangerous aura to his handsome face. Su Wanwan also defiantly glared back at him, only Her black hair was a mess, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were so red it was frightening, like she could cry at any moment. Her lips were even pursed in a miffed manner. Huo Jingshens brows twitched, and his heart softened again. Unbeknownst to him, he let out an explanation, Dont think too much, Jingyi and I were engaged as children, but that was all just the elders joking around Ha, do you joke and then send such an expensive necklace? Su Wanwan interrupted him directly. That necklace was given by the grandmother, I didn t know. But you were flirting with her! When did I flirt? Huo Jingshens face showed bewilderment. Su Wanwan fell silent. If you dont believe me, Ill call my grandmother right now. After finishing speaking, Huo Jingshen reached out his long arms and really grabbed his phone to dial a number. As a result Im sorry, the number you dialed cant be reached at the moment, please redial later. He put down the phone, Its too early, my grandmother hasnt gotten up yet. You did it on purpose! Huo Jingshens handsome face sank, What do you want to do then? Su Wanwan turned her face away, not wanting to deal with him. The air was as silent as death. Huo Jingshen was looking at the little girl. Her hair was messy, under her long and curled eyelashes were a pair of big stubborn eyes, and she looked angry. Forget it. She was 10 years younger than him, only 20 years old, indeed still a child. Plus, she was immature, not much better than Fu Ziyang No, Fu Ziyang was much more sensible than her. With such sighs from Huo Jingshen, his heart softened again, he called out softly, Baby. Su Wanwan continued to ignore him. Wife. Wife. Good girl. Su Wanwan suddenly turned to glare at him, Can you not be so disgusting? Still calling her good girl. So disgusting! Huo Jingshen chuckled and pinched her plump cheeks, Does your husband owe you something, doesnt he? Su Wanwan didnt want to look at his smirk and turned her face away again. Huo Jingshen could only stretch out his hand to open the drawer of the bedside table, took out an exquisite jewelry box, and then took out a string of imperial green jade necklace and put it on her neck. This is the necklace your husband bought for you last night, do you like it? All women like jewelry. Furthermore, its such an expensive jade necklace. Who knew that Su Wanwan glanced down, Redeemingyour faults with meritorious service? Huo Jingshen: Su Wanwan snorted with arrogance, Before my grandmother proves your innocence, Ill give you the silent treatment! Silent treatment! Huo Jingshen once more: ** After a peaceful week, the CEO suddenly arrived at the company before nine oclock today. And he had a poker face, plus a finely tailored black suit, like a dark cloud, one glance and you could see he was in a bad mood. Outside of the elevator on the first floor, a group of senior executives trembled, after greeting they dared not to make idle chat. Until Ji Jie hurriedly ran over, greeting full of vitality, Mr. Huo, good morning. Huo Jingshen nodded coldly. Mr. Huo, what happened to your mouth? Is it because wife Ji Jie stopped in the middle of his sentence, hastily covering his mouth. All done, he actually asked his suspicions in front of so many senior executives. Huo Jingshen just looked at him quietly. Ji Jie grimaced, Mr. Huo, I was wrong. But Huo Jingshen spoke indifferently, Yes, its too ferocious, a little pet I have at home. The group of executives nearby finally found a common topic, and they all started chiming in: Mr. Huo also likes raising pets? People who have pets are very kind-hearted. What kind of pet does Mr. Huo have? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, thinking of the little wild cat at home. A cat, he said. As soon as they heard this, the executives immediately began to flatter: Raising a cat is great, cats are very gentle! Men who keep cats are the most tasteful. Now that its cold, petting a cat every day is simply bliss. Yes, yes Only Ji Jie voiced his doubts, Mr. Huo, dont you have a German Shepherd named KO? When did you start keeping cats, and even got your lip scratched by a cat Before he finished speaking, he was cut off by a cold look from Huo Jingshen. Just then, the exclusive elevator for the CEO arrived, and the tall and cool man walked in directly. Ji Jie smacked his own mouth. You cant just say random things! You cant be emotionally insensitive! You need to know your place! Sure enough, as soon as he sat down in his office, Huo Jingshens deadly phone call immediately came through, Come in. The mans voice was low and severe, like a death sentence from the underworld. Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: 263, kneel down to the keyboard. Chapter 263: 263, kneel down to the keyboard. Translator: 549690339 Ji Jie nervously walked into the CEOs office. Huo Jingshen sat sternly on his black leather chair, his brows furrowed as if contemplating something monumental. Finally, his thin lips parted, My wife is angry. What? Ji Jie was taken aback. Good grief! He initially thought the world was coming to an end, that Huo Yuan was about to go bankrupt, or he was about to get fired I couldnt appease her. Huo Jingshen raised his eyes, spoke word by word, Do you have any good suggestions? Ji Jie quickly gathered his thoughts. He understood. Huo Jingshen must have had a disagreement with his wife, otherwise he wouldnt have been bitten on his lip and in denial earlier. Such a stubborn man! He immediately suggested, Mr. Huo, women love bags, they say bags can cure all issues, make her happy with bags. Shes not satisfied. Huh. Ji Jie immediately suggested, Then buy Mrs. Huo some diamond jewelry. Diamonds are a womans best friend. Or perhaps clothes, shoes, or cosmetics. Most women like these things. She doesnt like these things. Awhile back, Lady Huo bought a heap of clothes, bags, and shoes for Su Wanwan and she didnt seem pleased at all. Maybe because shes young, she doesnt seem to have a grasp on these materialistic things. Even when he gave her a jade necklace worth over 20 million yuan this morning, she didnt seem touched and continued giving him the cold shoulder. Ji Jie felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth, Your wife is quite unworldly. Quickly, he came up with another idea, Women often love small animals. Maybe give her a cute puppy? Shes terrified of dogs. Ji Jie: Oh no. She doesnt like jewelry. She doesnt like cosmetics, clothes, and the like either. Shes even afraid of cute puppies Madam Huo certainly doesnt take the conventional route. Theres only one solution left. Mr. Huo, perhaps you should just kneel and apologize when you get home? Huo Jingshens cold gaze narrowed, throwing daggers at Ji Jie who instantly retracted his previous suggestion. Right, how could Huo Jingshen, such a proud and dignified man, ever do something as undignified as begging. The next second. Go to the secretarial office and have them run a survey. Huo Jingshen spoke impatiently, Then, create a to,ooo-word ppt. After finishing, he promptly dismissed him, Give it to me before you leave, now get out. Ji Jie was stunned. 10,000 words? Just to placate a woman, Mr. Huo, is that necessary? APPt, too? You dont have to write it yourself, right? Huo Jingshens face darkened, Are you not leaving yet? Yes. ** While Ji Jie was racking his brain making a ppt in the office, Su Wenwen was also racking her brain answering questions at the exam venue. Today was the fourth subjects exam. Finally, she could get a drivers license. But because of Chu Jingyis accident, she didnt feel excited at all. After the exam, Su Wanwan aimlessly roamed around the driving school until she received a call from Mo Weiyi. Little Princess had come back from Haicheng the day before and said she brought a gift for her. ** Half an hour later, at Lishui Bay Villa. In the living room, Mo Weiyi was getting her nails done. Aunt Zhou handed a box tied with a pink ribbon to Su Wanwan. Whats this? Su Wanwan frowned while estimating the boxs weight. Mo Weiyi had a mischievous smile on her face, Its a good thing for you and Huo Jingshen, it can enhance your marital relationship. Su Wenwen wanted to get rid of it as soon as she heard these words, Is it another set of lingerie? I dont want it! No, no, its definitely not lingerie. Mo Weiyi quickly stopped her before changing the topic, What happened to your foot? Are you injured? Su Wanwan glanced at it. While climbing the wall last night, there were too many small glass shards above. She almost fell off. Luckily, she was wearing jeans today, so the injuries on her legs were not visible, only her ankle had two band-aids on it. Its nothing, just a little scratch. Mo Weiyi nodded, Wanwan, lets do our nails together, Ive just started. No. Come on, youre here anyway, and its the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, why not impress Mr. Huo? Wanwan wanted to say she decided to stay in school for the next few days! But Mo Weiyi was so gossipy Forget it. ** It was two hours later when they finished with their nails, during which Su Wanwan managed to catch a few naps. When it came to being fashionable, she truly admired Mo Weiyi. Like getting a hairdo, Mo Weiyi could sit there the whole day, not eating or drinking, and not even moving. Not to mention the maintenance she did every day from head to toe, preparing for going out, selecting outfits, choosing jewelry, matching, making up Every now and then, she needed to go for spa, sauna, massage, various treatments. After all, shes Little Princess, delicately raised from childhood. As soon as Su Wanwan left, Mo Weiyi also got up and returned to the old house. The moment she walked into the Mo Family courtyard and got out of the car, she saw the family doctor hastily leaving the villa. Doctor Yu, is grandfathers health not good again? No. Doctor Yu said, Master Mo is injured. My father is injured? What happened? Is it serious? Uh, not too serious, its just that Doctor Yu began to stammer. What is it? Just tell me! Doctor Yu had to say, Its Miss Xu who was severely injured and is now in the hospital. My younger aunt? How did she get injured? Doctor Yu honestly replied, Mr. Mo was driving the car, and Miss Xu was sitting in the back right seat. Suddenly, a car crashed into them, so Miss Xu fractured her right arm. Mo Weiyi directly went over and pushed the door open. Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: 264, you can’t talk nonsense. Chapter 264: 264, you cant talk nonsense. Translator: 549690339 In the room, Mo Yaoxiong was sitting there looking at his mobile phone when the doorwas suddenly bang and opened, startling him. Seeing that it was Mo Weiyi who came in, his face darkened, Weiyi, why didnt you knock before coming in? Dad, are you alright? Mo Weiyi leaned on a crutch, her face full of worry. Im fine. Mo Yaoxiong had a bandage on his forehead, it seemed that he was slightly scraped, not serious. Mo Weiyi inspected him all over, finally releasing a breath of relief, sat on the couch, What happened in the end? What were you doing with your aunt? Why were you hurt? Mo Yaoxiong explained, Today, I had to go to Shootie Road for some work. Your aunt had class in the afternoon, so I drove her to Wellington Primary School. When we got out of the car, a taxi suddenly rushed over. Your aunt got hurt trying to push me out of the way. My aunt pushed you away? Mo Weiyi furrowed her delicate brows, But how did the doctor say, you both were hurt in the car? If she sat in the back, how could she push you? Mo Yaoxiong was stunned. Dad? Oh. Mo Yaoxiong coughed lightly, It was in the car, as I just mentioned, it was in the car. In the car? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, Then how did she push you? Mo Yaoxiong clenched his hand, The situation was very urgent then, I didnt really notice. Is it? Mo Weiyi looked at him suspiciously. Something seemed strange. Where is Yebai? Mo Yaoxiong suddenly asked. Mentioning Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi immediately replied, Xiaobai said he had a dinner tonight, he will be late. I told him to come straight here. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, then asked, How did you explain the situation on the forum? What happened? Mo Weiyi didnt expect him to ask this, she pouted slightly, feeling a bit guilty, I was just bored at home alone, so I ran to Haicheng to find Xiaobai. As expected. Your foot is not yet healed, can you stop running around? Mo Yaoxiong reprimanded, And Yebai was in Haicheng to negotiate with a local real estate developer. The branch had some issues and there might be danger if negotiations dont go well. What if something happened because you suddenly ran over? When will you finally become aware of things and stop bringing him trouble? When did I cause trouble? Mo Weiyi felt wronged. It was just that, suddenly having a stomachache in the night, caused a trip to the hospital, other than that, everything went smoothly. As a wife, you should stop thinking about sticking to your husband all day long, how many times have I told you this? Yebai is the president of the company now, many decisions wait for him every day, thousands of people in the company depend on him Enough, enough. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but interrupt him, Arent you tired of preaching? You nag even more than grandpa. Mo Yaoxiong: After a while, he said, Tomorrow is a holiday, tell Yebai to come to the hospital to visit your aunt in the morning. Hmm. Mo Weiyi nodded impatiently. ** The next day was the Mid C Autumn Festival. A day that symbolizes reunion for Chinese people. In the morning, after Mo Weiyi got up, she and Xiao Yebai went to the hospital. Not Nangong Hospital, but another private hospital. Mo Weiyi didnt think too much about it. Even though all these years, the Mo family had always been loyal customers of Nangong Hospital. When they got there, Mo Yaoxiongs car had also arrived. The three of them came to the ward, seeing that the room was empty, Mo Weiyi asked, Where is my aunt, Yunyao? Xu Jing chuckled, She went home with her boyfriend yesterday. Although she was injured, she still looked quite well. Isnt her boyfriend not from Nancheng? No. Xu Jing thought about it, I think he is fromChuancheng. Oh. During the small talk, Xiao Yebai went out to answer a phone call. Then, a doctor came in to do a ward round, accompanied by two nurses. While taking the temperature, one nurse asked, Is this your daughter? Xu Jing quickly replied, No, Yiyi is my niece. Oh, I thought she was your daughter. Shes really beautiful. Mo Weiyi offered an indifferent smile in response to the compliment. Then, the other nurse said, Dr Liu mentioned to us just now how wonderful your husband is to you. He was extremely worried when he brought you to hospital yesterday. He even arranged for you to stay in the best VIP ward. Xu Jings face turned pale, What are you talking about? He is my brother-in- law. Mo Yaoxiong looked slightly awkward. Mo Weiyi immediately frowned. The two nurses were taken aback. The female doctor hurriedly apologized, Im sorry, the nurses shouldnt be prying into your personal affairs C a remnant of their old gossiping habits. I hope you arent upset. Xu Jing maintained a stern face and said, I explained everything yesterday. Didnt you hear me? Im sorry. Were truly sorry. I just heard it from someone else. The three could do nothing but apologize repeatedly. You can eat whatever you want, but you cannot talk irresponsibly. Mo Weiyi was indeed very annoyed. After saying these words, she glared at Mo Yaoxiong, Dad, I told you before that these private hospitals are unruly. How could you let my aunt stay at such a place? All day long, its nothing but gossip. Anyone would think this is some marketplace, not a hospital! Xu Jing lowered her head, her face alternating between shades of red and white. Enough, all of you leave. At Mo Yaoxiongs command, the three swiftly exited the room with their belongings. When Xiao Yebai returned to the room, he heard Mo Yaoxiong explaining, Your aunt lost a lot of blood yesterday. I was so worried that I got angry with the doctor, which probably lead to the misunderstanding. Regardless, I have a significant responsibility in this car accident. Brother-in-law, dont say it like that. My injuries arent serious either. Xu Jing cautiously watched Mo Weiyi, trying to placate her, Yiyi, please dont be angry. Its all my fault. Your brother-in-law was just being kind sending me to school yesterday. I didnt expect this accident to occur and it even led to misunderstandings. Dont worry, I wont trouble your brother-in-law anymore. Could you please not be angry with me? After she said that so sincerely, Mo Weiyi naturally couldnt say much else. After all, it was the nurses unwarranted gossip that had started all of this. They decided to treat the incident as an insignificant interruption and move on. Half an hour later, Mo Weiyi stood up, Dad, Aunt, well be leaving first. They had a long holiday ahead because of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. She wanted to enjoy some private time with Xiaobai. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, Remember to come home early for dinner. Ok. After the young couple left, the room was quiet for a moment. After a while, Mo Yaoxiong broke the silence, Why did you hide the fact that you saved me from the doctor? Xu Jing raised her head, Brother-in-law, I didnt think of anything at that moment. I just felt that since you were kind enough to drive me to school, I couldnt let you get hurt. If something had happened to you, Yiyi would be so worried. Mo Yaoxiong looked at her, his eyes sharp and astute, But why did you hide it? Xu Jing replied, I didnt want you to feel indebted to me because of this. Why would I? Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Xu Xian only has you as her younger sister. Youre alone now, its my duty to take care of you. Xu Jing shook her head, Brother-in-law, I understand your kindness, but, I really dont want to make Yiyi unhappy. You saw what just happened On mentioning the recent incident, Mo Yaoxiong interrupted, Youre overthinking. Yiyi is still a child at heart. Since her mother passed away early, Ive always spoiled her. Her grandfather and Yebai also cater to her every whim. Her temper has been getting worse these daysCyou should just ignore it. Ever since Xu Xians death a few years ago, Mo Weiyi had been particularly attentive towards him. Whenever a woman approached him with ill-intent, she would get extremely anxious. She would regularly confront these women privately, using various methods to drive them away. Only after she got married to Xiao Yebai and moved out did this behavior slightly decrease. He knew that Mo Weiyi had learned from Xu Xian. But Xu Jing was Xu Xians sister! He didnt thinkMo Weiyi would misunderstand. Therefore, Mo Yaoxiong still felt that Xu Jing was overthinking. Women who are as delicate and thoughtful as her are often too concerned about others feelings, always considering others before themselves. Youre overthinking. Mo Yaoxiong repeated, Yiyi just has too much free time. She isnt focusing on her studies and shes currently recovering from her injury. Once her foot heals, Ill have Yebai take her to the companys legal department for some training to ensure she doesnt think about romance all daylong. Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: 265, Chu Er: Bought a watch Chapter 265: 265, Chu Er: Bought a watch Translator: 549690339 | Xu Jing laughed gently, Brother-in-law, dont set your expectations too high As a parent, whats better than their child living healthily and peacefu y. eiy is a girl, and moreover, with Yebai by her side, shes still young Shes twenty years old, one year older than Yunyao, yet lookhow sensible Yunyao is. Mo Yaoxiong seemed a bit disappointed when he mentioned Qu Yunyao. Yunyao has had a hard life. Its all my fault for not being able to provide better for her, so she had to mature early Xu Jing let out a faint sigh. You shouldnt blame yourself. You cant force marriage, think about it more open-mindedly. En. ** At noon, Mo Weiyi booked a table at their familys Dihong Restaurant. The two left the hospital and drove straight there. Today was a holiday, and the restaurant was surprisingly busy. Even though the prices were outrageous, many people were eager to get in. At the entrance of their private room, they unexpectedly ran into an old friend they hadnt met in a long time. Sister Jingyi? Mo Weiyi was taken aback. After all, Chu Jingyi had been abroad for many years and didnt come back often, so it was quite a surprise to see her here. The weather at the end of September had a chill to it, yet Chu Jingyi was still wearing a sexy, shoulder-baring red gown as if she was waiting for someone. Weiyi? Chu Jingyi was also surprised, she looked at the tall, aloof man . standing by Mo Weiyis side, then raised an eyebrow and laughed, I didnt expect you two to still be so close. Weve always been quite good. Mo Weiyi laughed, Are you waiting for someone? Chu Jingyi nodded, then turned her gaze behind them, Theyre here. Oh. A familiar lazy mans voice was heard. What a coincidence, to meet the owner and the lady boss. It was Chu Xiuhuang. Seeing him made Mo Weiyi inexplicably nervous, especially with Xiao Yebai by her side. As expected. Little Princess. Chu Xiuhuang greeted casually, The thing you did last time, really made my grandpa so happy. Ahuang, what is it? Chu Jingyi looked at Mo Weiyi. She was aware of the almost-engagement between her younger brother and Mo Weiyi two years ago. She had been planning to come back and celebrate, but suddenly found out she had been jilted, and quickly married Xiao Yebai, the adopted son of the Mo Family. Although Xiao Yebai didnt speak, he also turned his gaze towards Mo Weiyi. Mo Weiyi quickly retracted her staring gaze, cleverly changed the subject, How is Grandpa Chus health? Hes fine, since I gave him Chu Xiuhuang paused after every word, a watch. Mo Weiyis lips twitched a little: You mean, the two-million-dollar watch you bought for the grandpa? Chu Jingyi asked. Yes. Chu Xiuhuangs carefree smile and the beautiful, slightly naughty look in his eyes responded, That watch, I originally wanted to make it a birthday present for CEO Xiao. Whats going on? Chu Jingyi was confused. Alright Chu Xiuhuang turned around abruptly, Being a woman and having long hair sometimes makes you a little stupid, but the two of you, youre both delightfully ditzy. Chu Jingyi knitted her brows and quickly followed up. As for Mo Weiyi, she was irritated and tightened her small fists. This person, really is brazen! What does having long hair have to do with anything! He was indirectly calling me stupid! He speaks so ambiguously every time, obviously trying to provoke misunderstandings! What happened? A certain persons indifferent deep voice suddenly sounded. Mo Weiyi looked up to see him gazing at her. The elegant glasses made him look much more refined, but that was just on the surface. Mo Weiyi immediately tried to please him by clinging onto his arm, Nothing much, lets go eat first. Xiao Yebai didnt move, his gaze cold and calm and still on her. Im starving to death, really hungry Mo Weiyi softened her voice and acted spoiled, wishing to just gloss over the matter altogether. No man would like a gift being offered to his woman by another man who had an eye on her. It was a kind of provocation, a blatant slap in the face. Exactly. Mo Weiyi thought Chu Xiuhuang was nothing more than shamelessly relentless in his pursuit of her. Alas, being beautiful was also a burden, unable to shake off all these admirers. Xiao Yebai casually pulled back his gaze and entered the room. Mo Weiyi quickly followed in. They dished up, ate, and then left the restaurant. Throughout it all, Xiao Yebai spoke very little. Mo Weiyi didnt find anything wrong and was actually glad that they didnt run into the shameless guy when they were leaving. As soon as they got in the car, she wanted to propose visiting somewhere nearby, but Xiao Yebai was already driving off. Because she was feeling a bit guilty, Mo Weiyi didnt ask any further, until the car pulled into Lishui Bay. Mo Weiyi was surprised, Xiaobai, why are we back here? Xiao Yebai continued to remain silent, got out of the car, and walked straight into the villa. Mo Weiyi continued to hobble in, leaning on her cane. When they entered the living room, Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa and began to speakinacalm, cool voice, Speakup. Huh? Now that weve eaten and theres no one else around, explain the situation earlier. Mo Weiyi was taken aback. She looked at the mans slightly rigid face, expressionless, as if he was angry? And he had been angry since the restaurant. As for why he was angry Xiaobai, are you jealous? Realizing this possibility, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt like her heart was being filled with colourful bubbles, it was wonderful and joyful. This was especially so after she finished speaking, when she saw Xiao Yebai actually turning his face away. Although he moved quickly, although he was still wearing glasses, although he maintained a poker face without any warmth, Mo Weiyi saw the momentary avoidance in his eyes. Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: 266, Weiyi, do you love me? Chapter 266: 266, Weiyi, do you love me? Translator: 549690339 Even though he moved swiftly, even though he was still wearing glasses, and even though his face remained as impassive as ever, Mo Weiyi still detected a momentary flash 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 felt compelled 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 villa. 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 glasses 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 magnetic 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-collared dress that she tied up to the neck, with a touch of vintage European court style. Paired with orange-red lipstick and a delicate little lambskin 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 explained, After hearing about your aunts sudden car accident, Yunyao rushed back immediately. Is that so? Mo Weiyi responded indifferently and removed her scarf before sitting down.. Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: 267, Jealous Xiaobai Chapter 267: 267, Jealous Xiaobai Translator: 549690339 After all the fuss, when they returned to the old house at night, it was just before dinner and Mo Weiyi had also changed into new clothes. She was wearing a high-collared dress that fastened at the neck with a vintage European court style. Along with orange lipstick and a small exquisite lamb-skin handbag, she looked especially elegant and vibrant. Entering the dining room, she unexpectedly saw Qu Yunyao sitting there. Mo Yaoxiong explained, Yunyao heard about your aunts sudden car accident, so she came straight back. I see. Mo Weiyi responded neutrally, took off her scarf, and sat down at the table. Xiao Yebai took a seat next to her. Qu Yunyaos eyes fixated on Mo Weiyis neck. She scrutinized closely, and the slender white neck clearly bore a strawberry birthmark that was brightly red, almost purplish. It was hidden under the high collar. But it was obvious that the unhidden parts were more shockingly intimate. She hardly expected the seemingly refined Xiao Yebai to be so assertive. Just as expected, all men do turn into beasts behind the scene. Qu Yunyaos thoughts drifted. Taken aback, she quickly picked up her wine glass and took a large gulp. Yunyao, take it easy on the drinks. Mo Weiyis voice suddenly broke in, Dont go as far as you did last time in Haicheng, drinking till you blush. Qu Yunyao paused, then immediately replied with a smile, Alright. Halfway through the family dinner, a phone rang outside. Xiao Yebai immediately stood up, Im going to take a call. It wasnt long before he returned. Mo Weiyi didnt think much of it. However, after dinner, once Elder Mo left the room, Xiao Yebai said, Weiyi, I have to make a quick trip out. Huh? This late, and youre going out? Mo Weiyi was immediately displeased. Mo Yaoxiong also asked, Where to? A friend just returned to the country. Xiao Yebai replied indifferently. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, Come back early. Mo Weiyi pouted, So you do have friends? Apart from her, Xiao Yebai has always been a lone wolf with his cold personality. She never expected him to have friends. He never told her. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his eyes filled with a teasing sparkle, A male friend. Mo Weiyi: Did she ask if his friend was male or female? Nevertheless, she couldnt deny that knowing this without having to ask was reassuring. Alright. Mo Weiyi could only agree, Come back early, the house is too big. Im scared to sleep alone. Qu Yunyao, who was still sitting there, quietly lifted her eyes to glance at her upon hearing this. Xiao Yebai: Alright. He left shortly after and Mo Weiyi went to the living room, and watched TV with Elder Mo. By the time it was past nine at night and Xiao Yebai hadnt returned, Elder Mo went back to his room to rest. Mo Weiyi looked at the time and also went back to the Southern Mansion. As soon as she entered, she turned on all the lights on the first floor. She didnt go upstairs and chose to sit on the living room couch instead. She turned on the giant TV, set the volume to max, and watched while waiting. About half an hour later, Mo Weiyi couldnt contain herself anymore and silently entered Xiao Yebais number. The call connected quickly and on the other end, Xiao Yebai said, Can you let Aunt Zhou accompany you for a while? Its still half an hour before I can get back. Alright then. Mo Weiyi squeezed her hand, You come back soon. Alright. After hanging up, Mo Weiyi was about to call Aunt Zhou when suddenly the mansions front door was knocked. The boom, boom, boom of the three knocks in the quiet of the deep night sounded a bit creepy. Who is it? Mo Weiyi stood up, looking at the door. There was no response. Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, raised her voice, and asked again, Who is it? The boom, boom, boom came again. Who is it! Mo Weiyi was getting scared. Even though this was her own house. But still, no one answered. Then, the front door was knocked boom boom boom three more times. Mo Weiyi immediately dialed Mo Yaoxiongs number. Due to the Southern Mansion being uninhabited for years, and the housekeeper only cleaning during the day, Mo Weiyi didnt like having housekeepers living there, especially with Xiao Yebai around. But right now, she was truly frightened.. Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: 268, Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night Chapter 268: 268, Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night Translator: 549690339 Except for Mo Familys patriarchs traditional Chinese courtyard house, all the other villas in the old house are of various western styles, each with three floors, spacious and open. And it was the deep chill of midnight Finally, the call connected, Mo Weiyi said, Dad, you need to send someone here asap. Someone is knocking on my door and theyre not answering back. Im scared. Mo Yaoxiong said, Are you sure you heard correctly? Absolutely, the door was knocked several times. No matter how I asked, there was no reply. Please, hurry, Im scared without Xiaobai. Alright, Im on my way now. Just as she hung up, the knocking began again. Still knock, knock, knock, three times. After a while, knock, knock, knock, another three times. It felt intentional. Mo Weiyi moved with her crutch, cranked up the volume of the television, then huddled on the sofa, hands cupping her ears tightly. After what seemed like an eternity, the cellphone on the coffee table suddenly illuminated. It was a call from Mo Yaoxiong. Weiyi, are you inside? Why arent you opening the door? Mo Weiyi quickly got up and unlocked the door, Dad. Mo Yaoxiong, adorned in dark blue checkered pajamas, had shortness of breath, evidently hurried over without delay. Behind him, there followed Aunt Zhou, Rong An, and another bodyguard. Whats going on? he asked. Mo Weiyi replied hastily, Someone was persistently knocking on the door earlier. Mo Yaoxiong said, Let me get this right; why didnt you open the door when 1 was knocking? I was scared and had turned the TV volume all the way up earlier, I didnt hear the knock. Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows. Then, he sighed, So, were you actually not hearing any knocking earlier, but your fear made you think that someone was knocking? NO. Mo Weiyi shook her head fervently, I swear I heard it, Dad! You should instruct them to search the vicinity, that person must still be close. Mo Yaoxiong looked wordlessly at his daughter. After all, this was the Mo residence. Apart from servants, they also had bodyguards, so how could outsiders intrude? Weiyi, I didnt spot anything unusual in the surrounding area when I came over Ahhhhh! Mo Weiyi suddenly screamed, pointing behind him with wild eyes. Everyone jumped in fright, then Sister Yiyi, whats wrong? Qu Yunyaos innocent and perplexed voice rang out. Mo Yaoxiong quickly turned behind. He saw Qu Yunyao in a white nightgown that reached her feet, a part of her loose black hair cascading down her shoulders, combining with her pale skin in the middle of the night, it was indeed a little scary if one happened to glance at her unknowingly. Mo Weiyi pointed at Qu Yunyao with trembling fingers, her eyes filled with terror, she couldnt utter a word for a while. Im sorry, I came out as I heard some noise. Did I frighten you, Sister Yiyi? Qu Yunyao seemed really worried. Mo Yaoxiong quickly said, Its okay, Weiyi is just easily frightened, perhaps the wind rustled the branches earlier, and she mistook it for knocking. Oh I see. However, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Were you the one striking up tricks earlier? Were you the one knocking on my door? Qu Yunyao gaped, Sister Yiyi, what are you talking about? Was it you just now? Were you knocking on my door to scare me deliberately? Mo Weiyi gazed at Qu Yunyao, infuriated. Who else could it be, except for her in this old villa? Moreover, she appeared just when Weiyi was asking for a search around the villa? No, Sister Yiyi, it was not me, Qu Yunyao turned red and hurriedly tried to explain, 1 only came when I heard the sound. Whats going on, Weiyi? Mo Yaoxiong was also a bit facetious, What are you trying to do, causing trouble in the middle of the night? What reason would Yunyao have to scare you out of the blue? I swear, sister Yiyi, I did not do anything. Since my mother is not here, I was scared to sleep alone, so I was in the living room, reading scripts. I only came when I heard the sound. Afraid to sleep alone? So, you and your boyfriend have already slept together? Mo Weiyi bluntly asked. Qu Yunyao suddenly turned even redder, as though she hit the spot. However, this further exacerbated Mo Yaoxiongs anger, Weiyi, where are your manners? Mo Weiyi continued to question, Then tell me, why are you dressed in this all-white outfit? All of my nightgowns are like this. Qu Yunyao appeared more aggrieved. You clearly did it on purpose! If I hadnt asked Dad to come here, would you have continued to intimidate me wearing this white dress? Knowing fully well that Xiaobai isnt here, and I cant sleep alone Have you had enough?! Mo Yaoxiongs roar cut off Mo Weiyis words, Yunyao, go back to bed. Alright, uncle. Dad, I truly heard knocking! Mo Weiyi stamped her foot in exasperation. Mo Yaoxiong glanced at her impatiently and flatly said, Alright, lets disperse. The servants and bodyguards looked at each other and then followed him in leaving. Aunt Zhou gazed at Mo Weiyi, Princess Mo Weiyi sharply turned, hobbled up the stairs with her crutch. ** Outside the villa, Qu Yunyao lowered her head. Shyly apologizing, I am sorry, uncle. I shouldnt have caused all this commotion. I should be the one saying sorry. Weiyi is this way because I spoiled her, Mo Yaoxiong sighed. No, its not, its all my fault. But I really didnt want to scare sister Yiyi. Finished, Qu Yunyao started to sob, I think, sister Yiyi doesnt like me, uncle, maybe I should move out and live elsewhere.. Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: 269, only Xiaobai believes in me Chapter 269: 269, only Xiaobai believes in me Translator: 549690339 What is that nonsense youre saying? Mo Yaoxiongs tone was stern, Your mother is still in the hospital recovering from her injuries, and today is a festival. Are you saying now that you want to move out and live on your own? How would that look to Xu Jing to see our Mo family like this? Qu Yunyao sobbed gently, I asked the doctor today. He said that my mothers injuries this time were severe and that her recovery will take at least three months. She might not be able to keep her job during these three months. Even after her recovery, it could affect her daily operation of her hands, and she might even be unable to play the violin ever again. Upon hearing these words, Mo Yaoxiong felt an even deeper sense of guilt. My mother only knows how to play the violin. In the future, if her hand becomes impaired and she cant play anymore, I really dont know what to do I bear a great responsibility for your mothers injury. Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Rest assured, I will find the best orthopedic surgeon to cure her hand. Furthermore, feel free to live here as if it were your own home. As for Weiyi, I will have a word with her later. No, Uncle Mo, Qu Yunyao was very understanding, It was indeed my fault. I shouldnt have scared her by wearing white clothes late at night. Its just that shes too timid. Ever since her mother passed away, she hasnt dared to sleep alone. She must have been too scared, leading her to hallucinate and misunderstand you. For uncles sake, dont bear grudges against her. You two are sisters. You should help each other and get along. Qu Yunyao nodded, Uncle, its late. You should rest now. Alright, you should go back and rest, too. Okay. As she turned around, a smug grin immediately appeared on Qu Yunyaos face. Mo Weiyi. That night in Haicheng, if it wasnt for your sudden meddling, how could I have drunk that cup of alcohol? How could I have let that fat pig take away my purity? Rest assured, I will take back everything from you. Bit by bit, all of it will be returned! * * Xiao Yebai didnt return home until after eleven at night. When he arrived back at the villa, Mrs. Zhou was still sitting on the couch. When she saw Xiao Yebai, she immediately stood up, Young Master Xiao, the princess is upset. What happened? After listening to what had happened, the mans brows furrowed slightly before he said, I see, you go rest first. Yes, Young Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai went upstairs and pushed open the slightly ajar door, Mo Weiyi was on a phone call. When she saw Xiao Yebai, she immediately said to the person on the other end of the line, Wanwan, Xiaobai is back, Ill talk to you later. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes terribly red and her voice tinged with a hint of petulance, Why did you come back so late. Xiao Yebai walked over to her, and she immediately got up and wrapped her arms around his waist, complaining pitifully, I was scared to death just now, but my dad didnt believe me. I really heard someone knocking on the door, more than once, each time they knocked three times. It was clearly intentional, my ears arent deaf In the end, she lifted her head, pouting her lips and asked, Xiaobai, do you believe me? The man gazed at her with dark eyes, his deep voice calm and clear, Yes. Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and buried her face back into his chest, murmuring sweetly, I knew it no one else can be relied upon, only Xiaobai believes me. * * The following afternoon. When Qu Yunyao returned from the hospital to Beiyuan Villa, she saw a group of people busy at the entrance. She walked over quickly, What are you all doing? Miss Yunyao, Rong An answered stiffly, According to Young Master Xiaos orders, we are installing security systems in all the villas and important buildings in the old residence. What? Qu Yunyaos face turned pale, Why do they need to install surveillance in my place? Im not a criminal. You misunderstand, Miss Yunyao, Rong An explained, The princess was frightened last night, the surveillance is for the safety of everyone in the residence, including yours. But Im not comfortable with cameras in my living space. Its an invasion of my privacy. Im not used to it and I wont feel comfortable! Qu Yunyao yelled hysterically. This was the first time she had ever heard of cameras being installed in her home. Isnt it obvious that Mo Weiyi is suspicious of her and is abusing her authority? What was the difference between this and being watched? Miss Yunyao, Rong An said gravely, Whilst you are living here, you must follow the rules of this place. What do you mean? Qu Yunyaos eyes twisted with anger. This lackey of Mo Weiyi! Every time he spoke, he was so annoying. He was just like a dog following his master! Youre just a bodyguard. Who do you think you are to speak to me like this? she lowered her voice, threatening menacingly, Dont think that just because youre with Mo Weiyi, you can treat everyone else like dirt! Even if I cant fire you, I have other ways to make you pay! I apologize. Rong An watched her with cold, dispassionate eyes as he spoke in his usual rigid tone, the apology not sounding like an apology at all, This was personally approved by Master Mo. If you have any objections, Miss Yunyao, you can talk to him. I will get back to work now. Having said that, he turned around to instruct the servants to continue their work. Qu Yunyao stood there seething in frustration for a long time before finally stomping back into her room in resentment. * * Whether it was due to the installation of the security system or not, the old residence was peaceful for the next few days. Only Mo Weiyi started showing less favor towards Qu Yunyao.. Chapter 270 - 270, Deep Well Ice 270, Deep Well Ice Translator: 549690339 Although she didnt understand why her cousin was trying to spook her? Soon enough, the holidays ended, and Nancheng officially entered the golden October. One day, when Mo Weiyi came to school and met Su Wanwan, the first thing she asked was, So, did you use the gift I gave you and Mr. Huo yet? Su Wanwan was taken aback, Ah um not yet. Why havent you used it? Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows. Su Wanwan: She certainly wasnt going to tell her that she was currently giving someone the silent treatment. And as for that gift, she had tossed it into a drawer after bringing it home and had never even opened it, so she had no idea what was inside. You better use it soon. Let me know how it feels, the pressure, the effects, whether its satisfactory. Su Wanwan: Why did this sound more and more off? It should work very well, I saw a lot of five-star reviews, remember to use it tonight and tell me the effects Wanwan. Zhao Qianqians voice suddenly rang out, So youre here. Hurry up, I was about to call you. The dean of teaching is asking for you in his office. Several female classmates from her class were by her side, including Lin Qiao. Su Wanwan immediately stood up, Weiyi, Ill go first and find you later. Oh. Mo Weiyi frowned and could only watch as she left. On the other side, once they were seated, Lin Qiao asked, Qianqian, do you know why the dean of teaching asked for Su Wanwan? How should I know? I just met him on my way back from an enrichment class, and he told me to have Su Wanwan come over. I guess he wanted to praise her for winning first place in the last performance. Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao was completely upset. Why did the dean of teaching like Su Wanwan so much? How could such a lousy dance that was a total violation of the norms possibly score 10 points? Was it because he knew that Su Wanwan was Professor Sus niece after the last self-criticism session? This was obviously favoritism due to special relationships After thinking about it, she suddenly stood up again, I havent washed my clothes in the dormitory yet. You guys can eat, Ill go back first. * * Su Wanwan rushed to the academic building and took the elevator up to the deans office. She knocked on the door, no one answered, but the door opened. Su Wanwan walked in with a befuddled look. Before she could react, a mans arm reached out. Ah um! Su Wanwan had just screamed when her mouth was covered by that hand. At the same time, the door was closed and locked. She was pressed against the door panel. When she finally saw the handsome face, Su Wanwan was speechless, Huo Jingshen, are you out of your mind? So childish! You scared the hell out of me! Damn it! Childish ghost! She thought she had run into a robber. With his head lowered, Huo Jingshens voice was deep and seemed somewhat aggrieved, Finally willing to talk to me? Su Wanwan was stunned, so she turned her little cold face to ignore him. She is ignoring him again! Feeling impatient, Huo Jingshen suddenly turned stern and severe, How long are you going to keep this up? Isnt it enough already? Su Wanwan remained silent. Huo Jingshen said, Didnt grandma explain everything to you already? The two families were close and thats why she gave her a jade necklace on her tenth birthday. Grandma has always been generous with gifts to other children, and grandpa used to criticize her for being a spendthrift. Su Wanwan: Can he really call his own grandmother a spendthrift? Even though Old Madame Huo was indeed a spendthrift, cough cough cough. Su Wanwan remembered when the elderly lady took her shopping for clothes. It was shocking. Clothes, shoes, bags, she swept through everything and still hadnt worn them all. Now, the season was about to change. Baby, Huo Jingshen leaned closer, Hurry up and forgive me. Su Wanwan blushed but kept quiet. What should she say? Not a word! You really are disobedient. Suddenly, a sharp ring of the landline phone on the desk interrupted them. Su Wanwan snapped back to reality, and it dawned on her that this was the deans office. She quickly pushed him away. Huo Jingshen didnt persist, What are you doing? The phone Are you asking me to answer it? Su Wanwan: Uh She definitely couldnt answer it. Otherwise, wouldnt that reveal their mischief? She immediately said, You should go. I have a class. Class? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, But I miss you. This is an office! Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, Even if you miss me, you cant! Hurry up and let go! I havent forgiven you yet! Didnt I explain everything clearly? Huo Jingshen was getting impatient, his tone turning harsh, Dont take advantage, okay? Im taking advantage? Su Wanwan was so angry that her eyes were red, Why didnt you tell me before? Isnt it because I was afraid youd react just like this? Huo Jingshen responded deftly. Su Wanwan: That did make some sense. The next second. Damn it. Did you say Im being unreasonable? Su Wanwan was furious. Huo Jingshen: Without realizing it, he had spoken his mind. Chapter 271 - 271, you little bitch! 271, you little bitch! Translator: 549690339 I will resist! Su Wenwen struggled, squirming fiercely, exerting all her strength. 11 Knock knock knock. The door plate behind her was suddenly knocked on. Su Wenwens eyes widened involuntarily, instantly turning tense. Then after. Director, are you there? It was Lin Qiao. Su Wenwen glared at Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen cocked an eyebrow, as if asking, Whats wrong? Su Wenwen grinded her teeth and replied in sign language, Slut! Huo Jingshen: Knock knock knock! The door was knocked on again. Director, Director, are you there? Su Wenwen was worried. What to do? Fortunately, the door was bolted shut. However, even with this, Su Wenwen felt like she was being caught having an affair. Although Huo Jingshen was her legal husband, she had just discreetly rated him 10 points at the party the other night, and now she Thank God, Huo Jingshen did not border her this time around. After all, there was someone outside. The young girl was innately shy, so given the current circumstances, she couldnt possibly open the door. Hence, he let her go gradually, slowly calming down. He moved unhurriedly, composed, deliberate. Anyone oblivious would probably think he was in his own office, devoid of his recent despicable and shameless behaviour. What a hypocrite! What a monster under a gentlemans skin! Hes exactly like the head teacher. Birds of a feather flock together! Partners in crime! Then, a sound suddenly came from outside Achoo! The sound startled Su Wenwen to the point she didnt dare to think anymore. In the hallway, the head teacher who had just stepped out of the elevator sneezed loudly. Seeing the person standing at the door, he touched his nose, his face looking unwell. No wonder he sneezed, it turned out that Lin Qiao was cursing him here. What are you doing! The stern rebuke made Lin Qiao jump. He quickly turned around and said, Director, you youve returned. The head teacher glanced at the tightly closed door, thinking that Huo wouldnt still be working, right? It had been over an hour since he went in. Indeed, when a man encounters a woman he likes, he tends to be particularly Director? Lin Qiao raised his voice. The head teacher cleared his throat, Do you need anything? Lin Qiao deliberately replied, Some classmates told me that Su Wenwen came to see you. I happened to have some business with her as well, so I came over. Where is she? The head teacher said with a stern face, Shes already left. Do you have any other business? Shes left? Lin Qiao smirked mysteriously, Director, why did you return from outside? The directors face suddenly darkened, Lin, I heard that you were cooking instant noodles with a rice cooker in the dormitory last night, causing the dormitory building to trip and almost causing a fire. Is this true! Lin Qiao panicked, Director, II Write a 5000 words self-reflection and bring it to me! Lin Qiao turned pale, Another reflection report! And its 5000 words? Did Su Wenwen deliberately tell on him to the director just now? What a shameless bitch! Are you going or not! The head teacher stared fiercely, Lin Qiao nodded subtly and turned to leave. It was only after the door of the elevator closed with Lin Qiao inside, the head teacher walked to the locked door and began to clear his throat hinting. Cough cough. No response. Cough cough cough. Still no response. Cough cough cough cough. The head teacher rubbed his throat, just as he was considering whether to leave and take a walk around, there was a clatter, the door was actually opened. Mr. Huo. He immediately started smiling. But it was Su Wenwen who came out. She kept her head low, didnt even glance at him, covered her face with her hands, and immediately bolted. Chapter 272 - 272, Got the class schedule 272, Got the class schedule Translator: 549690339 She kept her head down, didnt look at him at all, covered her face with both hands, and directly ran off. She didnt even take the elevator, she went directly down the stairs. The Dean of Discipline blinked, was too slow to speak Dean Zhao. A deep, unemotional voice suddenly rang out. The Dean of Discipline quickly walked in. She glanced subconsciously at the couch, then at the chair What are you looking at? Huo Jingshen stood there, his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, tall, handsome, and suave. But his tone felt like it was coming from deep underground, unsettling. The Dean of Discipline was trembling, No nothing. Huo Jingshen pursed his lips lightly and said simply, Wanwan is quite low-key and doesnt want people to know that she is my wife. My grandfather wouldnt want her to use her status to get special treatment either. I understand, I understand. Student Su Wenwen performs excellently both academically and in art, and she is so low-profile, such a rare good student. Huo Jingshen gave an arrogant nod, Do you have the course schedule for this semester of the junior year journalism students here? Yes, yes we do. The Dean of Discipline hurried to her desk and pulled out a schedule from a pile of documents. Huo Jingshen took it, stood there, slowly looking over the schedule with his beautiful fingers holding it up. Time ticked by. After about fifteen minutes, Huo Jingshen finally spoke, The course load for juniors is still quite heavy? The Dean of Discipline explained with a bitter face, This is because the juniors need to prepare for internships next semester. The journalism department is a bit special, as there is also a reporting activity at the end of the semester, hence it results in a heavier course schedule. I see. Huo Jingshen said, No wonder she has been busy with studies lately, I have also been busy with work, hence I borrowed your office briefly to have a word with her. So that was the case. The Dean of Discipline suddenly had an epiphany, Mr. Huo, rest assured, I understand everything. She felt ashamed, for her own sordid thoughts. Hmm. Huo Jingshen nodded arrogantly again, I still have a lot of work at the company, I am leaving first. Goodbye, Mr. Huo. Take care, Mr. Huo. The Dean of Discipline saw him off to the elevator, ass-kissing all the way. Only after Huo Jingshen had entered the elevator and the doors had closed did she realize that he had taken the schedule with him ** Over here, as soon as Su Wenwen arrived at the bottom of the first floor staircase, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her. Stop right there! Su Wenwen raised her head, visibly annoyed, Are you insane? Hell. This Lin Qiao, she definitely went to the office deliberately searching for her, and when she didnt find her, she decided to wait here. Such cunning, she really should go participate in the survival game of The Story of Yanxi Palace. Lin Qiao looked at her, Where were you just now? Su Wenwen was blunt, None of your damn business. Lin Qiao reacted with laughter, With the way you look now, I know even if you didnt tell me. That tousled hair, that red face, the lips that were swollen from being bitten, the dazed eyes which were sultry, her whole appearance seemed to be swaying with spring vitality. Not to mention how much more disarrayed her blouse was now, as compared to when she was last seen in the cafeteria. Wow, Su Wenwen, you are quite smart, tell me, who did you hook up with this time? Could it be Lin Qiao squinted her phoenix eyes, and then suddenly lowered her voice, that photography teacher Di? I can see your IQ.is quite low. Why dont you go and charge it up? You are always having delusions, idiot! After Su Wenwen finished cursing, she turned around and left. When dealing with an idiot like this, if she didnt curse her, it would be doing injustice to her identity as a little fairy. That Di teacher, she did not even know who he was. Lin Qiao pursued her directly, Su Wenwen, you stop right there, Su Wenwen Shortly after the two left, the elevator doors opened and Huo Jingshen walked out, heading to the parking lot with long strides. ** Su Wenwen, dont think I dont know what you are up to. Just now, wasnt it you who went and complained to the Dean of Discipline deliberately? Just how nasty are you, you shameless Su Wenwen abruptly stopped in her tracks. Lin Qiao watched her take out her phone from her pocket, glance at it, and then wave it at her with a grin, Its the class president. Lin Qjaos expression dramatically changed. Su Wenwen answered the phone right in front of her, Hello, class president, whats up? Jian Shuhao was a bit surprised that Su Wenwen was so friendly, and quickly said, Su Wenwen, are you free this Saturday? Saturday? As Su Wenwen said it, she deliberately looked at Lin Qjao. As expected, her face looked even worse. I made plans with the club president for this Saturday at the Nancheng Hero E-Sports Bar for our first team-building outing, we are gathering everyones opinions now. Yes, sure. A free weekend, playing games together and eating; it couldnt get better. Alright then, its a date. See you. As Su Wenwen was about to leave after hanging up, Lin Qiao reached out to grab her, What is Jian Shuhao asking you to do this Saturday? Tell me! No comment. You clearly have a guilty conscience! Su Wenwen looked at her, her phoenix eyes narrowed, Let go. Her voice was very cold. And her eyes were coated with a layer of frostiness. Lin Qiao was frightened and instantly let go of her hand. Huh. Su Wenwen sneered, Lin Qiao, if you really like Jian Shuhao, then go and win him back. Dont just grumble all day long and do nothing else. You lack appeal, yet you act like people covet your second-hand goods. Its just disgraceful! After this, she could not bear to deal with her again and turned away, walking off with large strides. Chapter 273 - 273 male god teacher. 273 male god teacher. Translator: 549690339 After lunch, because Su Wanwan had to attend class, Mo Weiyi, left to his own devices, asked Rong An to drive her home. In the afternoon, there are two News Directing lectures. The professor for these classes is a man over fifty, stricter than Li Mochou. Due to his bald head, students coined him the nickname Bald Peak. Just like Li Mochou, Bald Peak hates it when students are late; he deducts points readily. Hence, Su Wanwan always took his classes very seriously. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the classroom today, it had been nearly ten minutes into class and Bald Peak was nowhere to be seen. As the folk in the classroom started laughing in confusion, there was suddenly two knocks on the door. Then, Wow! All the female students exclaimed in admiration. Su Wanwan looked up to see a man in a deep blue college-style knitted sweater standing there. He was pretty young, tall, with good facial features, bright eyes, thin, had a buzz cut, and looked refreshingly energetic. Hello everyone, my name is Di Chenghe. Professor Li fell ill suddenly and is still recuperating in the hospital. For this semester, I will be the substitute for the Directing lectures Before he could finish speaking, the classroom erupted into applause. So, he was the teacher Di that Lin Qiao mentioned? As Su Wanwan was thinking this, she heard the girls around her discussing excitedly: This is so awesome, our crush is the substitute teacher! After the second-year photography classes ended, I thought I would never have the chance to attend teacher Dis lesson again. This happiness came too suddenly! Ahhh! His face alone makes me feel lightheaded! Im running out of breath! I really wish I could have a romantic relationship with teacher Di Su Wanwans mouth twitched repeatedly. Was he handsome? Just okay? He was certainly not comparable to her husband. Such superficial taste these girls had! Su Wanwan! Her arm was suddenly poked. Su Wanwan looked over, What? Zhao Qianqian winked, You didnt attend this school before, so what do you think, isnt teacher Di handsome? In the row of seats ahead, upon hearing this, Lin Qiao perked up his ears. Handsome where? Su Wanwan lifted her head to look over, His eyes are so small. What do you know? For men, its the overall appearance that matters. Teacher Di looks like Lee Jong Suk from the Korean dramas! Lee Jong Suk? Su Wanwan furrowed her brow, I dont know him. Zhao Qianqian: Alright, everyone calm down, lets start class. Everyone immediately hushed. Su Wanwan started listening attentively too. She had to admit, although she did not agree with his looks, his presentations were quite good, simple yet profound. He liked using examples, unlike Bald Peak who only focused on theory and was authoritarian. Compared to him, this guy was much better. After two periods, teacher Di left with long strides. Several girls followed with their textbooks in their arms. Zhao Qianqian, are you planning to attend the eSports club event this Saturday Before Su Wanwan could finish her sentence, Zhao Qianqian was already up on her feet. Wait a minute, Wanwan. I have some questions to ask teacher Di as well. Su Wanwan: Crazy fans! She packed up her stuff and got ready to go back to her dormitory. However, at that moment, she received a call from the matriarch of the Huo family. Wanwan, abide to have dinner at our estate tonight? As if fearing a rejection, the matriarch hurriedly said, The neighbor has sent us some delicious free-range chickens. I asked Ashen to take Ziyang along tonight. You two are too thin and need to eat more The matriarch kept on talking, not giving her a chance to refuse. Even though she knew it might be a set-up, Su Wanwan consented. She could not disappoint the elderly ladys.kindness. ** Military district estate, Huo family. The matriarch of the Huo family hung up the phone, immediately called her grandson and said, Go and get Wanwan right now. Be sure to speak gently and tenderly, okay? Hm. Whats with this impatient attitude of yours? How can you woo your wife like this? Huo Jingshen: Youre a thirty-year-old man and yet here I am, a seventy-year-old woman intervening. Cant you handle your own relationship? Youre embarrassing! After scolding her grandson, the matriarch called her servants, Wen Xiu, hurry and clean the oysters. Steam them for tonight. Braise the sea cucumber, stew the yam and lamb spine together. And that turtle soup, after it boils, should be left to simmer slowly to make it tastier and more effective in building up strength for Ashen Cough, cough, cough, cough, the patrician of the Huo family suddenly coughed vigorously from the chaise longue on the balcony. The matriarch of the Huo family looked over at him, Old man, have you got a cold again? The patrician of the Huo family: This old woman, already so old but trifling day in and day out, without any shame! At six oclock in the evening, right when it was getting dark, there came the sound of a car engine. The matriarch of the Huo family stood up excitedly to greet them. Su Wanwan was the first to walk in. Granny. Ah. The matriarch of the Huo family responded, looking behind her. Fu Ziyang, the cute little boy with a backpack, walked in, finally followed by Huo Jingshen. His face clouded, clearly showing that the attempt to please did not go well. She glared at her grandson, immediately laughed and said, You must all be starving. Dinner is ready. The servants were serving the food in the dining room. Very soon, the patrician of the Huo family came out of the study. Everyone took their seats around the round table when Grandma Huo? On hearing this voice, the face of Grandma Huo turned green. Chapter 274 - do not like to eat old bacon do not like to eat old bacon Translator: 549690339 | 11 Aunt Xiu, is Grandma Huo home? It was Chu Jingyi. The servants whimpered outside the door, The old lady is Already having dinner? So early? That voice came closer, Grandma Huo, its Jingyi. Su Wenwen put down her chopsticks and stared at Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen looked to Lady Huo. Lady Huo: She was speechless! She really didnt invite her! By now, Chu Jingyi had come into the dining room. Seeing the full house, she smiled slightly, Dinner so early. Lady Huo had to smile too, Jingyi, what brings you here? Nothing in particular. My grandfather sent over some chickens today, and he just asked me to deliver some carp. He just caught them from the pond at Commissioner Zhous house. They were still jumping around. I left them at the door. Really? Thank you, Chu. Its very thoughtful of you. Seeing that Chu Jingyi was still standing at the door, Grandma Huo asked again, Have you had dinner yet? Chu Jingyi smiled, Not yet. Su Wenwens mouth twitched slightly. Lady Huo was instantly embarrassed: If it were the past, she would have called her to sit down and eat, but now is not the time Chu Jingyi stood silently with a gentle smile. She didnt speak either. With wavy long hair, a lithe figure, and red lips in a black fishtail dress, she looked like a portrait as she stood there. Lady Huo didntknow whether to speak or not, and no one else was talking either, making the atmosphere slightly awkward. Until Grandfather Chu suddenly stood up, Jingyi, its great timing. Your Uncle Gu sent me a few calligraphy and paintings a few days ago. Help me assess them. Chu Jingyis eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, Sure. As he left, the old man Huo glared at his wife. For always being so busy! Lady Huo: ** Although Chu Jingyi did not sit down for dinner, she did stay and help Master Huo with the artwork appraisal. Such an impressive talent. Su Wanwan ate quietly, her heart unsettled. Ashen, get food for your wife, Lady Huo insisted. Huo Jingshen, who had just put a chopstick of pork and stir-fried garlic sprouts into his wifes bowl, watched as Su Wanwan picked out the pork with her chopsticks and dropped it into Fu Ziyangs bowl, Dont like old bacon, Ziyang, you eat. Fu Ziyang: Huo Jingshen: ** In the study, Chu Jingyi carefully finished reviewing the few pieces of calligraphy and paintings. Congratulations, Grandfather Huo. These works should all be original. Theyre all worth keeping. Really? Grandfather Huo stroked his beard, pleased, Youve been clear-eyed since you were young. With your words, I feel assured. Chu Jingyi smiled, Grandpa Huo, youre flattering me. Im just taking a look. If Im wrong, dont make fun of me. How could I? Anyone can make a mistake. I wouldnt blame you. The old man Huo had a hidden meaning in his words, Evaluating treasures is like living a life. The worst thing is to make one mistake after another, especially when one knows its a mistake, yet still steps into it, its too late for others to stop. Chu Jingyi looked at him, her face still carrying a faint smile. Out of the study, only Lady Huo was in the living room, watching Fu Ziyang do his homework. Chu Jingyi glanced ambiguously upstairs. Jingyi. Lady Huo chuckles, Why dont you bring Xiaoye over to play? I heard hes at the same school as Ziyang? Hes doing homework at home. Chu Jingyi checked the time, Grandma Huo, Grandpa Huo, its getting late. I have to go. Alright, alright, Lady Huo got up hastily, Safe journey. Chu Jingyi: Leaving the house, Chu Jingyi had walked a few steps when she suddenly seemed to realize something. She stopped and turned her head quickly. Sure enough, on the second-floor balcony of the villa, a figure quickly crouched down. Even though it all happened so fast. She definitely saw it. Chu Jingyi lifted her delicate eyebrows and began to laugh. This is interesting. ** On the second-floor balcony, Su Wanwan was cowering, inching back towards the bedroom. So when Huo Jingshen finished taking a shower, he saw his little wife sitting stiffly on the sofa, her hands holding a book she was reading. He raised his eyebrows and asked, What are you reading? Su Wanwan ignored him. Huo Jingshen walked over, directly took the hefty book of Television Directing from her hand and threw it on the coffee table. What are you doing! Su Wanwan was annoyed, Im studying, can you not disturb me? Huo Jingshens eyes narrowed, Are you asking for trouble? She was becoming more and more arrogant. Give her an inch and shell take a mile. Chu Xiuhuang was right, women couldnt be too spoiled. She was nearly out of line. With this in mind, Huo Jingshen picked her up. Su Wanwan screams in fright, Ahhh What are you going to do? Do you! Su Wanwan was speechless, Did you take the wrong medicine? I didnt take any medicine. Huo Jingshen was already striding off, I ate turtle, oysters, sea cucumber, lamb scorpion With each dish mentioned, Su Wanwans eyelids twitched. This old woman was really something. Every time the two of them ate at home, she would always cook these invigorating and kidney-enhancing dishes. Not allowed! I have class tomorrow morning. I have to live in the dorm Chapter 275 - 275, arrogant due to favoritism 275, arrogant due to favoritism Translator: 549690339 No way! I have classes tomorrow morning, so I must go back to the dorm You dont have class tomorrow morning. What? Su Wenwen didnt grasp it right away. Huo Jingshen: Tomorrow morning, you dont have class. Su Wenwen was puzzled, how did he know? After overeating turtles, oysters, sea cucumbers, lamb the consequence was, she couldnt even think about going back to the dorm, much less studying, she couldnt even get up to have breakfast the next morning. In the end, she was carried to the car by Huo Jingshen. Felt sleepy all the way. When they returned to the Imperial Court villa, and went back to her bedroom, Su Wanwan fell asleep instantly as soon as her head touched the pillow. Because she barely got any sleep the night before, staying up all night to satisfy him. When she woke up again, it was noon. Even before opening her eyes, she couldnt help but let out a cry of pain. It hurts so much! Every bone in her body felt like it had been taken apart and put back together Su Wanwan twisted her delicate eyebrows, taking half a day to finally get out of bed. Then she saw a note on the bedside table, with a few flamboyantly marked words: [Im quite busy at work today, so Im heading there first. Theres a maid downstairs, let her know if you want to eat anything.] Su Wanwan grabs the note and tears it to shreds! Stinking man! Shameless stinking man! * * However, Huo Jingshen was in a great mood that day. During the meeting, a decimal point was marked incorrectly on the financial departments report presentation. In finance, a slight change can lead to significant fluctuations. Even just a single decimal point marked wrongly can lead to losses amounted to tens, if not hundreds of thousands, or even more. In the past, Mr. Huo would have flown off the handle immediately and even penalize on the spot, but now I dont want to see such mistakes happen again. Yes, thank you, Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo was surprisingly congenial? It seems Mr. Huo was in a great mood today. The financial manager escaped punishment and touched his chest with relief. After the meeting, Huo Jingshen returned to his office and checked the time. He then sent a message to his darling. [Have you arrived at school, baby?] Su Wanwan replied immediately: [I wont be coming home this week! ] Huo Jingshen: Is she acting up again? [Even if the headmaster calls me, I wont go!] Huo Jingshen: He frowned and began to type a reply. But stopped halfway, deleted everything he had typed, and rethought. This girl is becoming more and more spoiled! Ill leave her be for a few days. Its just right that these few days are busy at the company. A little bit of indifference will let her know who is really good to her Thats how he thought. * * Huo Jingshen actually didnt reply? Su Wenwen felt somewhat surprised. Something doesnt seem right. Could he have some other scheme to torment her? During these few days at school, she kept her eyes and ears open, assessing the school leaders, suspecting each one to be his comrade. After several peaceful days, the weekend arrived. Ttoday is Saturday, the electronic sports club had an activity in the afternoon at the hero electronic sports bar in downtown Nancheng. Su Wenwen and Zhao Qianqian left for there together after having lunch. They arrived a bit early. There were many people in the club, and the president, also a rich second- generation, had booked the entire floor of the esports bar at his own expense. Su Wenwen and Zhao Qianqian sat by the window, chatted, enjoyed the sights, and waited while munching and sipping on their snacks. Suddenly, Zhao Qjanqian exclaimed in excitement, Little Mr. Huo, Little Mr.Huo, Little Mr. Huo! Su Wenwens eyelids jumped instinctively and she looked over. Sure enough, through the transparent window, right beside it was the News Building, where Huo Jingshen and a few others were walking out of the main door. They seemed to have just attended an event. Everyone was in suits and ties, but among the crowd, someone stood tall, with an upright spine, the youngest and most handsome one, along with an elegant stature, attracting all the passers-by. No wonder Zhao Qianqian spotted him instantly. Su Wenwen withdrew her gaze irritably, forcing herself not to look at him. Stinking man. Presenting a gentle image on the surface, fooling outsiders. Only she knows what a beast he is in private! Oh my god, this is really like a domineering CEO in real life. Look at his subordinates nodding and bowing. Hes their undisputed leader. Eh eh Zhao Qianqian raved, with her hands cupping her face, lovesickly. Suddenly. Is that his wife? Zhao Qianqian asked. Su Wenwen quickly raised her head. When she saw the flash of red next to him, her hands tightened around her cup. Chu Jingyi! She wore her signature sexy red dress. The October weather was already chilly, but she only wore a thin ash-colored shawl over it. The autumn wind blew, her long hair, shawl, and red dress danced, elegant and charming, mature and sexy. Wow, thats a real match made in heaven. Indeed, the women beside domineering CEOs are always enchantingly cheap. Only such mature and elegant women can be matched with Little Mr. Huo, right, Wenwen? Wenwen? Zhao Qianqian turned to look at Su Wenwen, who had disappeared mysteriously. She frowned, turned back to look for Huo Jingshen, only to see Su Wenwen appearing in her line of sight, and was heading towards Huo Jingshen. The spoon in her hand fell back into the cup with a clatter. Whats happening? Is Su Wenwen out of her mind? Chapter 276 - 276, accompanied by a beautiful woman 276, accompanied by a beautiful woman Translator: 549690339 | Everyone in Huo Yuan Group knew that the company president, Mr. Huo, had been in a bad mood these past few days. Arriving at the office before nine every morning with a stern face, he demanded all senior executives to work overtime until 8 p.m. Wherever he passed, there was terror and desolation in his wake. As the higher-ups were working overtime, so were their subordinates, so the entire company was filled with complaints. Today, Nancheng was hit by a sandstorm. How nice it should have been to sleep in, watch a series, or play a game on such a wonderful weekend. Instead, they were summoned by an email to attend a lecture on Yusheweis sales management. They thought they could finally get some rest after the lecture. But stepping out the door, Huo Jingshen had another demand: everyone had to write a reflection of at least 10,000 words. This was ridiculous. 10,000 words?! Had he mistaken them for college students? Fortunately, Chu Jingyi arrived and Mr. Huos mood seemed to improve slightly. The two began talking about the just-concluded lecture. Judging from their conversation, this Miss Chu had unique insights. Whether in conversation, knowledge, or even experience, she could be described as a talented woman. Just as everyone began to suspect that they were more than friends, a sweet, soft voice suddenly sounded Hubby. That call to Hubby was sweet, crunchy, and soft. It was incredibly adorable. Everyone was taken aback. A cute young lady had suddenly appeared and affectionately called him hubby? They then looked at her outfit. Light blue vintage straight-leg jeans, the latest fashionable celebrity sneakers, a trendy striped oversized sweater, topped with a fluffy bun. She radiated youth and vitality. Her face was even more stunning. Her complexion was clear and radiant with no hint of makeup. She looked like a sweet, innocent college student, or even a high schooler. The executives glanced at each other incredulously as Su Wanwan walked over. When she reached them, she was both enthusiastic and bold. She reached out your hands and hugged Huo Jingshens arm, stretching her toes, sniffed him like a puppy, and then cooed in a petulant tone, You naughty, didnt I tell you to cut down on cigarettes? Huo Jingshen looked at her. His dark eyes were full of interest as he stared at her. He looked completely relaxed. The executives were so shocked, their jaws nearly dropped. As for Wanwan, her stomach was churning with rage. This smelly man! She had wondered why he had been so well-behaved these past few days; it turns out he had another woman! She clenched her fists so tightly to maintain her sweet and innocent facade. Mr. Huo, an audacious executive couldnt help but ask, May I ask who this young lady is? My Huo Jingshen gave a slight smile, beloved wife. There was a brief pause at the scene. Then followed by So its Mrs. Huo! Mr. Huo is very lucky! A match made in heaven! Congratulations, Mr. Huo! Congratulations, Mr. Huo! Flattery instantly began to pour in. As expected, the smile on Huo Jingshens face immediately brightened. He looked extremely pleased, a great departure from his cold and serious expression just a moment ago. Until Jingshen. A soft, seductive voice sounded. Everyone was reminded that Chu Jingyi was still there. She looked at the happy couple with grace, behaving very appropriately, I have some matters to attend to. Since your wife is here, Ill make a move first. Huo Jingshen nodded, and she turned to leave. Wanwan was seething inside. What does she mean by your wife is here, so Ill go first? If I hadnt come, would you have continued to linger here? Only after the woman got into a red Mercedes on the roadside and drove away did Su Wanwan let go of her hand, I have something to do too, Im leaving. Just as she turned around, she was pulled back by the wrist. Huo Jingshen looked down at her, his lips curling into a smile and spoke in soft tones, Where is my baby going? When Su Wanwan turned around, she looked at him with her shimmering phoenix eyes, Club activities. The girl was pretty and her phoenix eyes were captivating, especially when she looked at people in an intentionally charming way Huo Jingshen swallowed and drew her closer once again, speaking in a voice only two of them could hear, Are club activities more important than your husband? Wanwan was taken aback and hurriedly moved back. She didnt want to put on a public display. She only played up to him earlier to irk Chu Jingyi, while establishing her position as the main wife. Come home with me. Huo Jingshen tightened his grip on her wrist. No! Wanwan snapped back, I havent forgiven you yet, I was just sparing you some face! Huo Jingshen laughed. The little girl was already thinking about sparing face for her man in public? Impressive. He murmured, If you dont come back with me, Ill make a scene here and let all your classmates see After saying this, he lifted an eyebrow, That chubby guy at the back, and the pretty boy, theyre your classmates, arent they? Wanwan hastily turned to look. Damn. The chubby boy standing at the entrance of the games store was Zhao Qianqian, right? And the pretty boy next to her? Jian Shuhao! When she turned her head, Zhao Qianqian even enthusiastically waved at her. She couldn t be more clueless! Chapter 277 - 277, my wife has strict control 277, my wife has strict control Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan blinked, subconsciously turned around and ran towards the side of the road. The black Mu Shang car was parked there. Huo Jingshen smiled satisfactorily, nodded to everyone and said, I cant help it, my wife has a tight rein on me. I have to leave now. All the executives nodded and bowed: Take care, Mr. Huo. Dash off already, always tormenting his subordinates on weekends! They finally understood why Mr. Huo was always in a bad mood when he arrived at the office before nine oclock, now the case is solved! Because Madame Huo is a student! How could he be in a good mood with an unsatisfactory marital life? ** Over here. The two got into the car one after another. As soon as Su Wanwan buckled her seat belt, sure enough, the phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Qianqian. Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, Qianqian, something came up all of a sudden, I cant attend the event Are you related to Young Master Huo? Zhao Qianqian interrupted her. Huh? Su Wanwan was confused. Didnt Zhao Qianqian see just now? I saw you talking to him when I came out, you guys seemed quite close. Um They are quite familiar, intimately familiar. Whats your relationship with him? Is he your elders? Uh Elders? Having him, a beast-like elder, really gave her bad luck! Su Wanwan was disheveled, but for the moment she couldnt think of any other reasons, so she just followed Zhao Qianqians words and mumbled. Oh, no wonder you said he was married and his wife is very beautiful. It turns out its because you two are related. Yes, yes. So, was that woman just now his wife? Of course not! Su Wanwan immediately denied it, His wife is tenno, one hundred times more beautiful than that woman! Wow, if shes even more beautiful than that woman, she must be a superunrivalled beauty! Exactly. Su Wanwan answered with a sense of pride. Huo Jingshen glanced at the young girl beside him. Lifting her chin, delighted to the point of shaking her head. Squinting, laughing into two crescent moons. That mouth couldnt be more charming as it was lifted, revealing a row of fine little teeth. Suddenly, she stuck out her tongue in success. Huo Jingshen: . He suddenly felt bit like a masochist. Huo Jingshen withdrew his gaze and drove the car out. After Su Wanwan hung up the call, she finally relaxed. Fortunately, Zhao Qianqian is rather innocent, otherwise it wouldnt be easy to fool her. She was also too impulsive just now, luckily she scurried away fast, not seen by many people. Placing down her phone, she looked out the window and immediately said, Stop the car! What for? Huo Jingshen wouldnt stop the car, of course. Su Wenwen said, I want to go back to school! Youve been at school for a week, arent you satisfied yet? Su Wenwen huffed, Then why did you meet with her again just now! Huo Jingshen said, The Real Estate Division organized a sales management lecture today, I just happened to bump into her. Oh really, what a coincidence? Su Wenwen was incredulous. Once I, Huo Jingshen, get married, I wont get a divorce, let alone cheat. After saying that, he glanced at her, Even if I wanted to cheat, which man would do it in broad daylight, in front of all his subordinates? And stand on the street? Huh? Are you stupid? Youre the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid! Su Wanwan quickly counterattacked. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but smile, You really are stupid! Then, his face suddenly sank, and his tone became serious, Let this matter rest, dont make a fuss with me anymore, otherwise. Or what? Su Wanwan subconsciously retorted, quite defiantly. Damn, she always speaks so haughtily, so commanding, cant he coax her nicely? Huo Jingshen looked at her, and said word by word, Otherwise, Ill stop the car now, and then you know. Su Wanwan was both shocked and embarrassed, her face reddened. She blurted out three words, Shameless! He is resorting to bullying at the first sign of disagreement! Damn, she must have been blind to have agreed to marry him! ** Twenty minutes later, the black Mu Shang car came to a slow stop. Su Wanwan looked out and was stunned. It turned out to be the largest international cinema in Nancheng. Because it was the weekend, although there was a bit of a sandstorm today, the first floor plaza was packed with people. After getting out of the car, Su Wanwan was led by him into the cinema. Apart from their mismatched outfits, the two of them looked no different from the common couples around them. Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask, What are you doing? Watching a movie. Huh? Huo Jingshen looked at her, Grandma said that I dont know how to pacify my wife. Su Wanwan: . So, is this his way of pacifying her? Is that why he brought her to watch a movie? Su Wanwan coughed twice, Then what movie are we going to watch? Huo Jingshen said, A horror movie. This was also one of the Thirty-Six Strategies to Pacify a Wife provided by Ji Jie. Accompanying his wife to watch a horror movie, as the horrifying scenes come up, the wife screams in fear, trembling in the husbands arms, seeking protection and comfort Although Huo Jingshen felt that Su Wanwan probably wouldnt be too scared of horror movies, he still had to try. After all, the other methods were too stupid, like writing a letter of regret, kneeling on a keyboard, kneeling on a washboard, kneeling on a remote control Absolutely disrespectful! Taking the elevator to the top floor, Huo Jingshen went to line up for tickets. Su Wenwen was speechless. He didnt even pre-order the tickets online? He really is an old fashioned man. Chapter 278 - 278, Cinema PK 278, Cinema PK Translator: 549690339 She sat there, engrossed in her phone Baby Wanwan! Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly looked up. Standing before her was none other than Mo Weiyi. No longer reliant on crutches, she was wearing a long dress patterned with marigolds, a light tasseled shawl over her shoulders. Her makeup was exquisite, and her curly hair hung loosely over her shoulders. She looked stunning. Are you here to watch a movie with your boss, Mr. Huo? How coincidental, Xiaobai and I are also here to watch a movie. Lets sit together! Arent you not a fan of romance movies? Mo Weiyi approached and sat down next to her. Ah? Su Wanwan looked puzzled, What romantic movie? Arent you here to watch Hello, Zhihua? At this moment, Huo Jingshen came over, only to see Mo Weiyi standing there, eliciting an involuntary twitch of his eyebrows. Mr. Huo! Mo Weiyi greeted him jubilantly. Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Your leg healed? And he thought to himself: she recovered this quickly? Does this mean shell keep meddling in my wife and Is business? Mo Weiyi, unaware of his thoughts, cheerfully replied, Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huo. I had my cast removed a few days ago, but I still need to avoid strenuous activity. Casually nodding, Huo Jingshen turned to Su Wanwan, Lets go. Wait! Mo Weiyi called out, Are you going to watch Hello, Zhihua? Lets watch it together. Huo Jingshen swiftly responded, No. He thought about how it was bad enough having her linger over his wife as it was, and today was a rare opportunity for him and his wife to spend time alone together. Hecouldnt allow her to interrupt their plan. However What tickets did you buy then? Ill have Xiaobai return ours and purchase tickets for whatever you guys are watching. Thinking she was being considerate, Mo Weiyi didnt notice Huo Jingshens face darken at her words. He replied, That wont be necessary. No trouble at all. After she said that, Mo Weiyi immediately took out her phone to make a call, Xiaobai, we wont be watching Hello, Zhihua anymore. Well switch to another movie, wait a moment. She put down her phone, Mr. Huo, what movie did you buy tickets for? Huo Jingshen didnt want to disclose. Mr. Huo? With that, Su Wanwan voiced the question, What did you buy? Reluctantly, Huo Jingshen showed them the tickets. Evil Dormitory Night Horror. His initial plan was to scare Su Wanwan so much that she wouldnt dare return to the dormitory again Whats the seat number? Mo Weiyi asked again. Huo Jingshen thought to himself Why so many questions!1 but didnt want to answer. Mr. Huo? Su Wanwan tutted, Weiyi is asking you a question. Huo Jingshen gave her a cold stare. What a naive girl! Su Wanwan looked confused at his frosty stare. Mo Weiyi quickly called out to the person on the other end of the call, Evil Dormitory Night Horror, Xiaobai, buy two tickets. After hanging up, she started to worry, Will it be really scary? I cant handle horror movies. Huo Jingshen scoffed, Then why did you buy it? Thats because I want to watch it with Wanwan, Mo Weiyi replied in a sweet, pampered tone that usually left men weak-kneed. However, it didnt work on Huo Jingshen, who maintained a grim expression and curt responses. His reply was, I don t want to watch it with you two. By now, even the oblivious Mo Weiyi could sense Huo Jingshens sour mood. Feeling awkward, she said, Mr. Huo, come on, its such a coincidence that were all here together and were all friends Okay, okay. Su Wanwan quickly pulled Huo Jingshen aside, Didnt you buy popcorn and soda? Why buy that junk food? Its unhealthy, you should eat less. Huo Jingshen responded with a parental tone. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, How boring it would be to just sit and watch a movie. Its sure to be more fun with snacks and drinks who knew It wont be boring. Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, trying to convey something more, There are plenty of things to do, baby. Want to try them with me, hmm? He had purposely picked the furthest row and the innermost seat so he could engage in various activities with his baby. Su Wanwan, Try your sister! Pervert! When they entered the theater and had just settled down in their seats, Mo Weiyi came over with a tall, aloof man in tow. Thats great, theres no one next to you guys. WeU sit here, it saves us the trouble of swapping seats. Su Wanwan cheerfully agreed, Sure, sure. Huo Jingshen, What a pair of dimwits! ** So, when the movie started, Huo Jingshen was forced to sit by the wall in the innermost part of the row. Su Wanwan sat next to him, and next to her was Mo Weiyi, with Xiao Yebai on the outermost edge. Looking around, the theater was indeed full of couples, and their reasons for being there were not entirely for watching the movie. As the movie began, Huo Jingshen leaned back and crossed his arms, waiting for his darling Su Wanwan to cry out and tremble in fear, eventually seeking refuge in his arms. However Compared to the sporadic screams filling the cinema, it was eerily silent next to him, void of any reaction! About ten minutes later, he turned his head and saw Su Wanwan leaning back with her eyes closed, fast asleep. Huo Jingshen: As expected, he couldnt count on this girl to react like other women! He reached out to pinch her nose but was interrupted Ahhhhhhhhhh! A hysterical scream filled the theater. The screams of the crowd escalated, echoing around the room. Startled, Huo Jingshen paused, and Su Wanwan instantly woke up. Its so scary, Xiaobai, Im scared Mo Weiyi was clutching Xiao Yebais arm, burying her entire face into it and trembling under her shawl. Chapter 279 - 279, Deduct salary 279, Deduct salary Translator: 549690339 I Su Wanwan looked at her speechlessly, Mo Xiaose! You scared me awake! So sleepy? A creepy voice suddenly came from beside her. As Su Wanwan turned her head, she saw someone with a face black as a pot bottom, she was about to speak Aaaaaa! Mo Weiyi screamed again, I cant watch it anymore, Xiaobai, I want to go out, I cant watch it anymore Xiao Yebai: Su Wanwan immediately said, President Xiao, why dont you take Weiyi to watch a romance movie instead? It s ridiculous that she wants to watch a horror film with him even though shes so scared. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and could only get up with Mo Weiyi. At least theyve left. Huo Jingshen was very satisfied. The movie continued. Huo Jingshen decreed, No more sleeping, did you hear? But Im so sleepy, this movie is so boring, its not scary at all. I was exhausted playing video games until three oclock last night Su Wanwan yawned, Im going to sleep first, wake me when its over. Huo Jingshen: In the end, he left the theater with a dark face. The first thing he did was cut Ji Jies salary when he got back! What the hell was that idea? ** Su Wanwan thought it would be over after the movie, but Huo Jingshen took her to the mall next door and entered a boutique for women. I dont need clothes, grandma bought me a lot last time. Mm. Huo Jingshen responded, This time, your husband will buy them for you. Su Wanwan: Whats the difference? Try this on. Huo Jingshen had already handed her a pink dress. Su Wanwan had no choice but to go try on the clothes first. When she came out after changing into the dress, she found Huo Jingshen standing at the cashiers desk with several shopping bags of all sizes on the counter next to him. There were more than a dozen of them in a row, which was quite a sight. That was fast? What did you buy? Su Wanwan was surprised, he had emptied the store very quickly. Such a spendthrift! Bought clothes for my baby. After saying that, Huo Jingshen looked at the dress she was wearing, baby, you look very pretty in this outfit. Lets go pick some more. After the compliment, Su Wanwan couldnt help but perk up, her tone was a bit shy, Am I pretty? In the crowded boutique, the tall, handsome man looked down at the little girl who was only up to his shoulder. His eyes were gentle, his voice deep, The clothes are beautiful, but the person in them is even more beautiful. The little girl was nearly 1.7 meters tall, wearing a high-waisted midi tulle dress. The soft pink color made her oval face even more dainty and pale, giving her an ethereal fairy-like quality. The sales lady nearby also complimented her: This tulle dress is really perfect for you. Yes, you look just like a little fairy! Its really beautiful! So gorgeous! With such high praises, Su Wanwan was slightly over the moon. So, she cheerfully picked out several more dresses. Finally, they left the boutique with bags big and small. Looking at all the shopping bags in his hand, Su Wanwan couldnt help being curious, What exactly did you buy? Wait until we get in the car to see. Thats what Huo Jingshen said. Su Wanwan felt he was being mysterious. But they both seemed like they were dating. It was just like the couples she saw in TV dramas, holding hands, shopping, watching movies, sharing meals She noticed a popular dessert shop in front of her, with a long queue of customers. I want ice cream. Su Wanwan immediately announced. Why eat that? Huo Jingshen frowned instantly. Hike it. That s junk food, eat less of it! Huo Jingshen still frowned. Su Wanwan took a seat nearby, You go and buy it for me. She had an if you dont buy it, I wont leave sort of attitude. Such a brat. Looking around, Huo Jingshen saw many children sitting around eating, but sitting next to them were their parents or grandparents. He said, Only naughty kids eat that kind of thing. Sensible kids like Fu Ziyang wouldnt love it. I still want to eat it, if you dont buy it for me, I wont leave. Su Wanwan stared at him with her beautiful phoenix eyes, Are you buying it or not? Huo Jingshen: This girl must have a score to settle with him. He put all the shopping bags down, Wait. With that, he turned around and walked away to line up, his long legs carrying him across. His tall figure, frowning brows, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, standing in a queue of old people and children, made him stand out from the crowd. Su Wanwan looked on and couldnt help but want to laugh. So this is what it feels like to date. Soon, Huo Jingshen returned, holding a tub of ice cream in his slender hand. But it wasnt strawberry flavored, it was chocolate. Su Wanwan clicked her tongue, Didnt I ask for strawberry flavored? They were out of it. Huo Jingshen sat next to her and suddenly said, So, baby likes strawberry flavor. Next time he would buy strawberry flavored condoms. Su Wanwan was oblivious to his intentions. She took the ice cream, had a bite, and passed it to his mouth. What are you doing? Huo Jingshen frowned immediately. Have a bite. Su Wanwan grinned. Im not eating. Huo Jingshen directly turned his head away. Su Wanwan: Forget it. It was their first date, and she couldnt be too demanding of him. It was already a big improvement that he was willing to buy her ice cream. So when Huo Jingshen turned back, Su Wanwan was eating her ice cream. First, she stuck out her small pink tongue to lick the chocolate ice cream, then she pursed her lips in enjoyment, then she licked the chocolate ice cream again Chapter 280 - 280, Relative Relationship 280, Relative Relationship Translator: 549690339 | Eat slower. Huo Jingshen suddenly said. Su Wanwan gave him a dubious glance, then lowered her head and slowed down. Just took a bite. Even slower. Huo Jingshen spoke again. Su Wanwan frowned, but could only slow down even further. Is this slow enough for you now? But who knew Eat faster. Oh shoot. Are we ever going to finish? Su Wanwan raised her head abruptly and found someone looking right at her. She froze, and hurriedly wanted to wipe her mouth, but before she could even touch her face, she was stopped by Huo Jingshen. What what are you doing? Su Wanwan felt chills down her spine from his stare. What on earth is happening? Why is he behaving so weird all of a sudden? Did she get the ice cream on her face? Huo Jingshen gave a slight cough, his voice deep and hoarse, Is it good? Su Wanwannodded, Its delicious. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but cough again, Then stop eating. But I havent finished it yet. Huo Jingshen said, This stuff is too cold, eating too much is bad for your health. Theres only half left. Su Wanwan intentionally wanted to oppose him. Huo Jingshen: Seeing her eating the ice cream was killing him. Its chocolate color seemed purposefully provoking him. On top of that, su Wanwan was gazing at him with innocent, wide eyes while she ate. Her eyes were clear and innocent, stark black and white contrast, just so pure. * * * Finally back in the car, Su Wanwan looked at the pile of shopping bags on the back seat, stretched her hand and grabbed the biggest one. These were all the things Huo Jingshen bought secretly, who knows what he has bought. The next second. You pervert! Su Wanwan abruptly threw the shopping bag back. Huo Jingshen chuckled, Whats wrong? Dont you like it, baby? Like your sister! While she wasnt paying attention, he had sneakily bought so many slip dresses; the fabric was so scant, so thin. Theres no difference from being naked! The colors were also provocative C black, pink, red, and purple. Thinking of the fact that she had been trying on skirts in the fitting room like a fool while he instructed the salesperson to fetch these dresses She was utterly embarrassed! Hubby bought you a lot more, dont you want to see? Su Wanwan turned her face away indignantly, huffing, I dont want to see! Im not wearing them! You wear them yourself if you want! Such disgusting stuff, purely to satisfy the perverse tastes of an old man! She wont wear them. No way she would wear them! Just as she was about to go off, her phone rang. Answer the call. Huo Jingshen began driving as he ordered her. Su Wanwan glared at him and immediately grabbed her phone. Hello? Su Wanwan, are you okay? It was Jian Shuhao. Ah, Im fine, whats up? Jian Shuhao said, Zhao Qianqian just told me that you left in a hurry with Boss Huo. I thought something had happened to your family. Im glad youre fine. Oh, hehe, is that so. Su Wanwan was a little awkward. Whats your relationship with Boss Huo? Jian Shuhao suddenly asked. Huh? What is her relationship with Huo Jingshen? As Su Wanwan was considering her answer Given his age, is he your uncle? Um Could she even have such a shameless uncle? So when he came to our school to attend the event last time Class rep. Su Wanwan interrupted him. Why are they all so nosy? Su Wanwan felt rather annoyed. She had no choice but to mumble, Class rep, I didnt expect him to show up last time. I see. Jian Shuhao laughed, I trust you. You danced really well. I think you could have won first place even if Boss Huo wasnt there. Umm. Su Wanwan could only laugh awkwardly, Thankyou. Since theres nothing wrong, I wont bother you. Its a pity you couldnt come to the team building session today, you must come next time. Sure! Su Wanwanagreed. * * Nancheng University. On the corridor outside the reading room. After hanging up the phone, Jian Shuhao turned around and saw Lin Qiao standing in front of him. Shuhao, were you on the phone with Su Wanwan? Chapter 281 - 281, more than once 281, more than once Translator: 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 class. 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 class, 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 planning 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 explanation. 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, clasped 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 plan on coming 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-in-law was called to work overtime at the company. 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 the company? 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 the company. The romantic moment was ruined, and the wonderful weekend ended abruptly. She even had to come 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 successfully. This is a gift for you. After she said that, she handed over the gift box. As if afraid that Mo Weiyi wouldnt accept 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 Planning Translator: 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 clank sound, accompanied by the noise of glass shattering. Crash. Then the whole living room fell silent. Mo Weiyi was stunned. So was Qu Yunyao. A few seconds later, she looked up, disbelief plastered 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 explained, 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 glass 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 accidentally 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 play the piano with those hands! Dad? Mo Weiyi stared incredulously at her father, Shes the one who cut her own hand, why are you blaming me? Would she have got cut if you had been careful when taking the box? Mo Weiyi couldnt help but sigh with a laugh. 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 glass, it has nothing to do with Weiyi. This understanding behavior made Mo Yaoxiong immediately glance at his daughter again. But the gift is gone, Weiyi. I will get you another one later, Qu Yunyao continued. No need. Mo Weiyi replied lazily, a casual tone slippingoff her tongue, Just dont hurt yourself again, or else my dad will blame 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 granddaughter comes 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 exclaimed 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 delayed 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, come 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 classes. No unexplained absences or early leaves, understood? Mo Weiyi pouted, I understand. Although she disliked going to class. 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 plan for your life. Dad, what do you mean by this? Mo Weiyi didnt understand. Chapter 283 - 283, Internal Secrets 283, Internal Secrets Translator: 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 the last 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 studying law. 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 the company seemed to be particularly 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 successful piano exam. The table filled with an array of dishes was comparable 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 black 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 magnetic, 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 glasses was particularly 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 becoming bolder, just looking at him like this, she couldnt help want to pounce on him. Xiao Yebai: Until the black Bentley stopped by the roadside with a screech. Xiao Yebai turned his head, his eyes deep as ink behind the glasses. 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 Translator: 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 really late. 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 magnetic 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 the last time at the old mansion, let alone the time before Now, it had been several days since they last 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 cant come 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 sent last 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 black. 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 Translator: 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 uncomfortable! Huo Jingshen said, Its wasteful. Youre bullying me again! Su Wanwan looked up, her eyes accusatory, 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 toy later. 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 into laughter, 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 classes 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 school later? 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 plates 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 plates, Come and eat. Su Wenwen walked over and gave him a glare. She took a bite of the egg pancake, then quickly asked, When are you going to verify then? Huo Jingshen pushed a glass of milk towards her, I dont have time today. Then when will you have time? Su Wenwen persisted. Huo Jingshen replied, Tonight. He would come back tonight and stay the night at home. Su Wenwens eyes lit up, Okay. Chapter 286 - 286, good for nothing 286, good for nothing Translator: 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 black Audi stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and first came out a foot clad in a tiny red heel, revealing a pale, slender ankle, and then a slim, straight leg flashed 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 sunglasses. Her lips, painted in classic 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 glances their way as she took off her sunglasses 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 black 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 the companys 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 was completely unreserved in her teasing. Mo Weiyi laughed, 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 flag-raising ceremony, Su Wanwan went to her English class in the teaching building, while Mo Weiyi went to the girls dormitory. Mo Weiyi walked into the dormitory with her two maids, causing complex expressions to cross the faces of the three girls inside. Ever since that last 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 Translator: 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 class. So when you have time, maybe we can finish that meal we didnt get to complete last time. You choose the place, 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 clang, 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 cant compete, you have to accept 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 classes 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 classes 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 matcha latte and headed towards the school gate. Being attractive, fashionably dressed, and adorned with expensive accessories, 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 sunglasses, his face obscured. However, judging by his attire and the acne 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 this lady? 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 he laughed, 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 Translator: 549690339 Looking at Mo Weiyis coy manner Song Quan couldnt help but smile, wanting to pull her into his arms. His words also started becoming vulgar, Miss, why dont you come 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 accurate. 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 black 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 to come 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 collar. His fist was already descending again. Song Quan struggled in pain. He usually fought with his friends, but he didnt expect to be completely unable to break free. He just didnt have the strength. He didnt know that Rong An was a professional bodyguard. He held Song Quans collar with one hand, immobilizing him, and began to hit him with his right fist. Punch after punch, simple and brutal, landing 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 glanced 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 slanted 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 collapsed 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. A large 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 Translator: 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 classmate. Song Quans eyes lit up, Your classmate? 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 Feifei laughed but didnt comment. 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 could come 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 calculations, Li Feifei quickly came up with a plan. 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 and lackluster, 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 was completely 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 occasionally participated in activities organised by the class and school. As for the incident that afternoon, it never happened again. Time passed and October swiftly ended. Winter seemed to arrive particularly early in Nancheng this year. In early November, the temperature had already dropped to around ten degrees. Occasionally, there was still wind, making it bitterly cold. It was a Friday. In the afternoon, after two law classes, 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 glanced 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 classmates after all. Feifei mentioned that the last 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 place, one of the roommates said awkwardly. Where? She booked a room at Imperial KTV, and invited several classmates. You dont mind, do you? Of course not. Then lets go to Imperial KTV, Mo Weiyi agreed readily. Although she hadnt been to places like KTV for a long time, and wasnt very familiar with her classmates. Chapter 290 - 290,tone-deaf 290,tone-deaf Translator: 549690339 | After her roommates left, Mo Weiyi called Rong An, asking him to pick her up in the evening. Rong An was uneasy, Ill come over now, KTVisnt very safe. Whats unsafe about it? Theyre all classmates. 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 were comparable 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, you come over then. Alright. After hanging up the call, Mo Weiyi found there was still time, so she called Su Wenwen, and took the chance to complain 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 umbrella 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 classmates, 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 classmates immediately began asking questions in succession. 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 the ladies 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 hasnt come 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 classmates going in and out later, 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 flashed 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 class will see your disgrace! Wont the Mo family feel ashamed too? ** Soon enough, more students arrived in succession, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively. Mo Weiyi fully played the part of a tycoon, ordering a full table of food. There were also plenty of drinks available. 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? Translator: 549690339 | Weiyi. In the corridor, Mo Weiyi stopped in his tracks. Li Feifei caught up and asked, Weiyi, have you found your internship placement for next semester? Mo Weiyi answered, Im going to the Mo Familys company. Makes sense. Li Feifei chuckled awkwardly, Your family has a company, 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 good law firm; Ive heard its harder and harder to get into these places, especially for interns; they have high standards. Really? Yeah, I went to Professor Wang before and asked him to help me find a placement. 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 relax 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 most companies 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 classmate 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 eerie laughter suddenly resonated. It was a mans laughter! 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 sudden laughter truly shook Mo Weiyi to the core. Initially, she thought a man accidentally 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 badly last time, huh? But he isnt here today, right? Cant come 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, come 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 not coming out? Then Ill just find you one by one. Ive been dreaming of you for months. When I make you hurt later, 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 slammed 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 particularly terrifying. Especially adding the sexually suggestive words and laughter 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 could come to her. But. Still no answer. Mo Weiyi completely lost hope. Another door was slammed open, then Song Quan burst out laughing 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 her last 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 Translator: 549690339 | The phone rang twice before being answered. Simultaneously, another loud clang 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 uncontrollably. She stared at the white door in front of her, which was then forcefully pulled from outside. A clang echoed. Song Quan immediately let out a burst of menacing laughter. 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 his computer. 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 any complaints. The head of the planning 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, glanced 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 clasping 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 black 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 black Bentley raced towards Nancheng University. Xiao Yebais face was tight, his thin lips were a straight line, and his glasses 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 clamped 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 Translator: 549690339 On the way to the washroom, many people glanced in their direction. Li Feifei deliberately delayed, 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 become 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 umbrella. Rong An thought of the umbrella in his car, his forehead furrowing and darkness filling his eyes. He dragged Li Feifei outside. He was rough, uncivilized, his steps large 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 black, 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 black 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 glasses gave him an air of refinement. As he passed under a light, his glasses flashed. 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 had come 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 glasses, 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 clamped 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 become a completely 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 had come 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 had come 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 customer complained 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-class hero Translator: 549690339 , The next second. Miss. A security guard suddenly came in front of her, We received a complaint 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 accompany us now to accept investigation. Without waiting for Li Feifei to explain, 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 will come. The door has been locked by me. You will just have to play with me here tonight. Song Quan still had gauze on his nose, and although the other places 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 Quan laughed 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 the lady 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 placing 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 placing 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 slapped her face. Mo Weiyis sleek, fair face was slapped off to the side, a large 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 blame me for being rough! You like biting me, right? Fine, come 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 hasnt come 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 crazy laughter, 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, accompanied 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, collapsed backwards, landing on the ground weakened and gasping for breath. With a clang, the baton was thrown on the floor. Xiao Yebai just stood there against the light, dressed all in black, 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 and comforting smell, and finally burst into uncontrollable sobs. [My beloved is a hero, one day, he will come for me in golden saint armor, traveling on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.] She just knew that, Xiaobai would come 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 slap, 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 slapped 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 mans large, black suit jacket. Her eyelashes were soaked, her eyes and nose were swollen from crying, she looked pitiable and disheveled. Xiao Yebai didnt speak, he turned around, kicked the collapsed Song Quan lifting him back to his feet. The next second. With a bang, Song Quan was thrown against the compartment 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 Translator: 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 collar 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 glasses and was neatly dressed in a suit with a tie. With his reserved, scholarly appearance, who would have thought that his blow would be fiercer than that of the previous man? After the blow that had just landed 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 flat, 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, uncontrollably 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 glanced 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 explain, Xiaobai, Im fine. He only slapped 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 collar of her clothes. He asked, Why didnt you let Rong An go with you? Mo Weiyi pouted, feeling wronged and innocent. Hes my classmate. 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 and composed 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 and comforting 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 Translator: 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 slapped, 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 declared, 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 to laugh. It was supposed to be a sly, triumphant laugh, 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 accompany 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 classmates are going to accuse 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 money later, hurry This time, Xiao Yebai didnt respond with OK. He turned his head and glanced 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 ordinary comprehension. Mo Weiyi looked at him, Whats wrong? Nothing. Xiao Yebai wasnt in the mood to elaborate. 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 was laughing 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 glasses 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 Villa. 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 glanced 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 become 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 Translator: 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 the company 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 flash drive with the files in my backpack, in the compartment. 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 the compartment, Mo Weiyi hastily added, Tell him to settle the bill for the compartment. 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, desolate, dark, and completely unclear. Rong An returned Mo Weiyis jacket and bag to the car. Turning around, he glanced 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 from last time standing in front of him. He was dressed in a simple black 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 place 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, slammed 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. Occasionally a flash 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 finally lay 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 clang. The entire bathroom was filled with a chilling, bloody atmosphere. While outside, the storm raged on. * * Mo Familys villa. 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 Weiyi lay 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 glasses, 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 but comment in her heart, Xiaobai really didnt understand romance. In this situation, shouldnt he say yes without blinking? But, it was this lack 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 time comes. 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 - Chapter 298: 298, don’t be afraid, I’m here Chapter 298: 298, dont be afraid, Im here Translator: 549690339 The next day, Nancheng was sunny and bright with the dawn of warm sunshine. The golden sunlight blanketed 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 Quan last night, he wouldnt be in trouble, would he? Xiao Yebai instructed, When the police question you later, 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 flanked him, all of them dressed in serious police uniforms. Except for one man who was dressed in plain 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 glanced 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 assaulted last 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 become a vegetable, never to wake up again With each statement, Mo Weiyi trembled. She remembered that when she left last 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 claimed 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 quite comprehending 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 you last night? Remembering Xiao Yebais instructions, Mo Weiyi could only answer, Yes. The officer and the handsome young man exchanged glances. 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 to come 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 accident. 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 - Chapter 299: 299, Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy Chapter 299: 299, Supreme Treasure and Purple Cloud Fairy Translator: 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 you last 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 classroom 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 class now, I cant chat with you anymore. Another class? Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, Didnt you used to be like me, not fond of studying? How come 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 class rang. Li Mochou came in to start the class. With the English Level Examination coming 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 classes, she spent all her spare time frantically cramming for the Level Four vocabulary, 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 classes, Su Wanwan left the classroom. There was a large crowd of students gathered around the school bulletin board, the noise was deafening, as though some major incident had occurred. 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 dollars worth of valuables at Dynasty KTV last 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 KTV last 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 Weiyi last time, it seems those close to ink are liable to be blackened! 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 place. 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 our law department. We did not expect her to suddenly become an offender, stealing, and being expelled from our school. The whole campus knew and the campus forum was noisy for a while. But in this network 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 - Chapter 300: 300, Huo’s Conscience Chapter 300: 300, Huos Conscience Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan silently counted in her heart. It seemed like almost a week had passed since she last 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 planning 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-in-law, you come 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-in-law is returning home, so our big brother wont be coming over tonight. Ming Jing said, lifting his glass, Jingyi, lets drink first. Chu Jingyi smiled, lifting her wine glass 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-in-law. He was swift and accurate, getting her hooked in just a few days. Love at first sight, huh? Hehe. A faint sneer flashed in Chu Jingyis eyes. * * * Su Wanwan had thought that theyd directly return home. Who wouldve thought that Huo Jingshen would drive her to a large 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 glance sideways. There was a young couple with their chubby child shopping in the supermarket. The young dad placed 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 glare 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 escalator 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 placing 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 in comparison. 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 woman complimented immediately, The female students nowadays are so pretty. Lets go once youve finished selecting. Di Chenghe concluded, and said to Su Wanwan, Its getting late. 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 become 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 glaring 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 flavored ones? Shut up! Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing his mind. Why was she discussing condom flavors with him in a supermarket? Huo Jingshen held her hand directly, pulling the flustered girl towards the counter, Lets go pay. Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: 301, morning mood Chapter 301: 301, morning mood Translator: 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 the last meeting, they would occasionally 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 cabinet 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 plate of cleaned strawberries, placing 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 planned to pass Level 4 this semester and then Level 6 next semester. Perfect! But the peaceful scene didnt last 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 low laugh. 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 glanced 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 relationship 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 husband company for a while, and then continue to do problems. * * The next morning, the harsh sound of an alarm clock rang. Su Wanwan whimpered and fumbled around, flailing 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 alarm 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 alarm clock and called out, Baby, its time to get up. There was no response. Baby, dont you have class 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 placed 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 class 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 slapped his hand away and began to struggle. I wont brush! I wont brush! I wont brush! So annoying! Im sleepy, sleepy! Huo Jingshen: Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: 302, no B number Chapter 302: 302, no B number Translator: 549690339 Its all your fault! I want to sleep! Ahhhhh Saying this, Su Wanwan pushed him away, wanting to walk away with her eyes shut. But just after taking one step, she was pulled back. Huo Jingshen said, Didnt you say you wanted to study well? What if youre late? She might have been alright, but this just made Su Wanwan even more furious, If you hadnt kept bothering me, would I be this tired now! Dont you have any sense at all! Older men are so horrible! Ive truly had enough! Huo Jingshen patted her head, grinning without a hint of guilt, I wont bother you anymore, good girl, go brush your teeth. I wont! Good girl, behave. As Huo Jingshen spoke, he began to shove a toothbrush into her mouth. The electric toothbrush began to vibrate. With a toothbrush in her mouth, Su Wanwan glared at him angrily, You are not allowed to touch me before the exams! Alright, I wont touch, I wont touch. First, he would placate her, then deal with it later. After finally cleaning her up, Huo Jingshen felt that this was even more exhausting than a full day at work. When they returned to the bedroom, seeing the soft bed, Su Wanwan threw herself onto it, Im so sleepy, let me sleep some more. Huo Jingshen: He looked at the time, then walked into the bathroom. He will let her sleep for another twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, Huo Jingshen got himself ready, only to find Su Wanwan still asleep when he came out. Was she A pig? How could she still sleep after all that hassle? Huo Jingshen checked the time again, then walked over and sat by the bed. Upon pulling back the blanket, her red sleepy face appearing, he softly said, Baby, its eight oclock, youll be late for school if you dont get up. Su Wanwan kept her eyes closed, deeply asleep with no reaction at all. She really was a pig. Its eight oclock, youll be late for school if you dont get up. Su Wanwan closed her eyes, I wont go! Really? Mm. Is it okay to skip class? Its okay! After all, Di Chenghe is only a substitute teacher, it should be okay. After all, her classmates often skip class too. After all, she was just too sleepy and tired, she just couldnt force herself Alright then, you can sleep a little longer. I will go to the office first. When the maid comes, she will make you breakfast. If you have to go to school at noon, take a taxi. Do you have enough money? Su Wanwan had her eyes shut, already dreaming. Huo Jingshen touched her head helplessly, then went off to work. * * Su Wanwan slept very well this time around. She woke up again to the sound of her phone ringing. When she looked at the time, she was so scared that she immediately jumped out of bed. Oh my, its already ten oclock! The call was from Qiao Zixin, who she hadnt seen in a while. Su Wanwan answered hurriedly, Hello? Wanwan, its me. Qiao Zixin said with a laugh, Why Havent you gotten up yet? You sound so sleepy. Su Wanwan asked, Whats up? If theres nothing I will hang up There is, there is! Qiao Zixin cut her off quickly, afraid she would hang up, Wanwan, you free to hang out tomorrow? Its the weekend. No time. Uh Maybe she didnt expect Su Wanwan to refuse so directly, Qiao Zixin seemed a bit stunned. Su Wanwan said, I have an English proficiency test coming up, Im busy studying. Oh I see, alright then. You study well, I hope your examination goes smoothly. Thank you. After hanging up, Su Wanwan got out of bed. There was class at nine oclock, and now it was ten. It would take about half an hour to get there and by the time she would get to school, the second class would probably be over. Forget it. She wasnt going to make it anyway, so she didnt really need to rush either. After changing her clothes and getting herself ready, she took her books and went downstairs. The maid, Aunt Han, had already arrived for her shift. Seeing Su Wanwan, she said with a smile, Madam, breakfast is ready. Thank you, Aunt Han. Su Wanwan was a bit embarrassed. The maid must think shes a pig! Getting up at ten oclock! It was all that stinky mans fault! Su Wanwan cursed at a certain beast in her heart again. As soon as she sat at the dining table, Aunt Han came in from outside, carrying something. Seeing Su Wanwan look at her hand, Aunt Han explained with a smile, This is a new chew toy that the master bought for KO a while ago. Oh. Su Wanwan didnt think much about it and continued eating her breakfast. * * Aunt Han went to the lavish dog house in the backyard. As soon as he heard the sound, KO started barking excitedly. Unavoidable, since his master got married, he had lost all his favor. Huo Jingshen rarely took him for walks, and even she could only let him roam the yard when Su Wanwan wasnt home during the day. Otherwise, he was locked in this cage with no one to complain to. Aunt Han went over, about to throw the chew toy, when she noticed that KO had something in his mouth. It was pink. The color was not like the chew toys that the master usually bought for him, and there was a string attached to it. It seemed to have a power button as well. Its shape was very bizarre. Had he chewed something and brought it over from the house? Aunt Han was startled. She went in, got the stick out of KOs mouth. Woof! KO barked at her once, quite dissatisfied. When Aunt Han finally read the few words written on the stick Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: 303, grit your teeth stick Chapter 303: 303, grit your teeth stick Translator: 549690339 | Auntie Hans face turned beet red. My goodness! Why did this man give KO such a thing to chew on? These young couples are so energetic! They really know how to have fun. She quickly discarded the hot potato in her hands, blushed furiously, and ran off. When she hurried back to the living room, Su Wanwan had just finished her breakfast and was coming out from the dining room. Seeing the pretty and innocent face of her mistress, Auntie Han, overwhelmed by what she saw in the dogs house, could hardly bear to look directly at Su Wenwen again! Her face turned even redder with embarrassment. Auntie Han, whats wrong? Su Wanwan asked innocently. Auntie Han shook her head, stammering, I I have some work to do. Afterwards, she put the chew stick back on the coffee table and went straight into the dining room to start working. Su Wanwan tilted her head, looking bewildered. Then she noticed what was on the coffee table. Err, isnt this the chew stick that was supposed to be for KO? Why was it brought back? A chew stick? A chew stick! Su Wanwan felt like there was a thunderstorm raging in her brain. Oh my God, when Huo Jingshen said he used that stick as a chew stick for KO, he couldnt have been serious, could he? No way, no way. She hurried back upstairs, but after searching through the bedroom, she really couldnt find that massage stick. Did he really give it to KO? If the servants saw it, how would she be able to live with herself? They might even think she enjoys using such things Ah, what the hell! Su Wanwan was nearly driven mad with frustration. She immediately ran downstairs again. The entire living room was quiet, and Auntie Han was already tidying up the dishes in the kitchen. Su Wanwan ran towards the back of the mansion and to the backyard. Then, she stopped in her tracks, feeling anxious. What to do? She was afraid of dogs! She had cynophobia! But Su Wanwen held her breath and strained her ears, but she didnt hear anything. Was the dog asleep? This gave her a bit of courage. She tip-toed forward quietly, until the luxurious dog house came into view. The dog, being raised by a wealthy person, had such a lavish and luxurious dog house that was even bigger than her bedroom back at the Su family home. Su Wanwan took cautious steps, quietly approaching the dog house, summoning the courage to peek inside. As expected, the large black-furred dog was sleeping soundly there. And the thing laying on the ground beside it This damn man! He actually used this stick as a chew toy for KO. Wasnt he afraid that the servants would see and misunderstand? He is shameless! So thick-skinned! Su Wanwan clenched her fists, taking a deep, deep breath. She mentally prepared herself, encouraging herself over and over. Havent Huo Jingshen and Fu Ziyang said that KO doesn t bite? Its been this long; they should be familiar with each other by now. Moreover, its asleep right now. Its just a paper tiger. Dont be afraid, dont be afraid Then she crept forward, quietly and without making any noise. She then crouched down and extended her hand. Just as her fingers were about to touch it Woof. A deep and throaty dog bark suddenly rang out. Followed by an excited whimpering sound. Su Wanwan lifted her head, and her eyes met a pair of shiny dog eyes. She widened her eyes in horror, her pupils contracted with fear reflecting in them. But KO was excited. After so long, its mistress had finally come to greet it! Its eyes sparkled and he wiggled his paw, unable to resist, he lunged forward! Mistress, here I come! Aaaaaaah! A long, hysterical scream came from the luxurious dog house, followed by Woof, woof, woof! * * Huo Yuan Group. Today was the monthly shareholder meeting at the Huo Yuan Group headquarters. Because the meeting would discuss the entire years work plan and outlook, even the retired Old Master Huo was in attendance. Huo Jingshen had arrived at the company early in the morning. The meeting promptly began at ten oclock. Due to the presence of Old Master Huo, everyone was on high alert and dared not slack off. The tense atmosphere in the conference room made it somewhat suffocating. Suddenly, the phone in front of Huo Jingshen lit up. Although it was on silent, Old Master Huo couldnt help but frown when he saw it. Huo Jingshen picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately answered the call. Hearing a response from the other end, he stood up straightaway. Before anyone else could react, he had already left the conference room. Old Master Huo sat there in shock. The other shareholders exchanged bewildered glances. What Scoundrel! Old Master Huo slapped his hand on the table, the shaking of his brows and beard revealing his anger, Where is he going? Huh? The shareholders looked at each other. Youre asking us? Who are we supposed to ask? * * Huo Jingshen then drove straight to Nangong Hospital. As soon as he pushed open the door to the ward, he saw a crowd of people huddled inside. Aside from Nangong Ci, there were other doctors and nurses. Upon seeing Huo Jingshen, Auntie Han quickly came over, Mr. Huo, Im so glad youre here now. What happened? Huo Jingshen asked with a furrowed brow. Auntie Han reported everything that happened, The lady probably got scared by the dog and fainted. I was doing work in the kitchen at the time. When I heard the noise and went out, she had already fainted, and I couldnt wake her up. So I had no choice but to call 120 and then I rang you. Nangong Ci reproached, Bigbrother, this really isnt right! The little sister- in-law is so scared of dogs. Why didnt you have someone keep a closer eye on KO? I told you before, your dog looks too intimidating. Even big men are scared of it, let alone a delicate and beautiful young lady like my little sister-in-law1 Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: 304, Hospitalization for Shock Chapter 304: 304, Hospitalization for Shock Translator: 549690339 | Huo Jingshen cast a cold glance at him, The results of the examination. Oh. Nangong Ci immediately responded, I just checked her thoroughly. She isnt injured, its just that she was frightened too much which led to severe fainting. Severe fainting? Huo Jingshens brow furrowed even more. It means she fainted severely due to extreme fear, resulting in cerebral hypoxia. But she should be okay. If youre too worried, I can give her an injection to wake her up immediately No need. Huo Jingshen interrupted him straight away. NangongCi: Thank goodness he didnt give her the injection just now. Huo Jingshen approached the bedside, seeing Su Wanwan lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes closed and her hair somewhat disheveled. She looked pitiful. He thought something serious must have happened when it turned out she fainted because of a dog? Huo Jingshen felt both annoyed and amused. Cant she stay out of trouble when he leaves her alone for a bit? Shes even more worrying than a five-year-old Fu Ziyang. Suddenly the ringtone of a cell phone rang. Han aunt quickly handed over Su Wanwans bag, It must be madams phone. Huo Jingshen took it, checked the phone and saw, Monitor? He directly picked up. Hello? There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone, then a young, warm male voice said, Hello, Im the class monitor of Su Wanwan lam Su Wanwans husband. His interruption, as well as his self-introduction, shocked the person at the other end into silence. After a while, the voice spoke again, Hello, the thing is, Su Wanwan didnt attend school this morning and the teacher asked me to check in with her. Shes in the hospital. Huo Jingshen responded succinctly. Ah? In the hospital? What happened to her? Is she okay Shes fine. After stating so, Huo Jingshen quickly cut the call. ** On the other end, Jiang Shuhao: He looked blankly at the darkened cell phone screen. Su Wanwans husband? He knew that boys and girls these days liked to refer to their boyfriend or girlfriend as husband and wife. So, it should be her boyfriend? But the boyfriends voice sounded quite mature; he seemed to be in his thirties or forties, not like a young person at all. What did he say? Jiang Shuhao quickly returned to his senses, Teacher Di, Su Wanwan is sick and in the hospital, her boyfriend picked up the call. I see. Di Chenghe nodded. He saw the young girl wandering alone in the supermarket last night and she was absent from school this morning. He thought something happened, but shes okay so its good. Teacher Di. Di Chenghe looked up to see Lin Qiao standing at the office door. Jiang Shuhao glanced at her and immediately said, Teacher Di, Ill go now. Sure. Jiang Shuhao left without looking sideways, but Lin Qiao was gazing at him intently. Even after he got into the elevator and disappeared from sight, her hands were tightly clenched and her eyes filled with resentment and jealousy. Are they all so concerned about Su Wanwan? What kind of witchcraft has that bitch used? Lin? Lin Qiao hurriedly turned and entered. * * When Su Wanwan woke up, it was already the afternoon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting by the bed. He looked extremely gentle in the afternoon sun, just like a radiant deity. Who would know that he could be so perverted and shameful in private! Su Wanwan huffed and turned her face away. Whats wrong? Huo Jingshen raised his hand to touch her forehead. Shes not feverish. With a quick motion, Su Wanwan turned her face back, Shameless! Huo Jingshen: He raised his hand again and gently touched her forehead. She doesnt seem to have a fever. Su Wanwan swatted his hand away, Rascal, dont touch me! Whats bothering you now? Seeing the irate little girl, Huo Jingshen figured she must have been startled by the dog. Why did you provoke KO out of nowhere? Su Wanwan was furious, Who provoked it Its all your fault you What did I do? Seeing her return to her lively self, Huo Jingshen felt a softness in his heart. Good. Huo Jingshens voice was deep. Knock, knock, knock. Just then, the door was knocked a few times, followed by the sound of the door opening. Su Wanwan jumped in fright. Ah, sorry. Qjao Zixin said so but didnt turn away, her eyes looking straight at the two, I heard from mom that Wanwan fainted and was admitted to the hospital, so I came to check. Wanwan, are you okay? Grandpa is really worried about you. Behind her were Su Yunrong and Jiang Yi. Both of them looked somewhat embarrassed. They had been in an downstairs patient room taking care of Su Xueqin. When they saw Qiao Zixin suddenly come over, mentioning she wanted to go upstairs to visit Su Wanwan, they decided to go along with her. They didnt expect this girl to barge in without waiting for a response after knocking. She was way too reckless. Sure enough, as soon as she entered, she saw Huo Jingshen getting cozy with Su Wanwan. So awkward! Su Wanwans face was burning with embarrassment. Partly because she was riled up by Huo Jingshen And also because they had been caught in the act. Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: 305, There’s a Devilish Charm Chapter 305: 305, Theres a Devilish Charm Translator: 549690339 | Contrary to her awkwardness and unease, Huo Jingshen straightened up, standing elegantly, with both hands slowly inserted into his suit pants pockets. He appeared relaxed and at ease with a slight smirk on his lips, calm as if the man from just a moment ago was not him at all. He nodded slightly at everyone, his tone surprisingly composed, Wanwan is okay now. Grandfather doesnt need to worry. Jiang Yi smiled, Glad to hear shes okay. Then, no one spoke. Since they didnt know each other well and had broken in on them, Su Wanwan kept her head low and didnt say anything. The atmosphere of the hospital room was a bit awkward. Only Qiao Zixin felt an overwhelming anxiety. When she had walked in, Huo Jingshen had been leaning over the bed, in a pose that looked like he was about to devour Su Wanwan. Holding her hands tightly together, it felt as though countless ants were crawling inside her- C her jealousy reaching a fever pitch. Why did she have the illusion that the relationship between Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan was improving? No! This cant be happening! Mr. Huo, Qiao Zixin suddenly blurted. Huo Jingshens eyebrows twitched as Su Yunrong also jumped in surprise. With a smile, Qiao Zixin said, The villa park press conference is coming up. Do you have any thoughts on the amendment plan we submitted last time? I happen to be here today, so if you have any comments, I can take them back and give them to the director. Not for now. Qiao Zixin chuckled awkwardly, managing to say, Alright, thank you, Mr. Huo. Thankfully, Su Yunrong spoke up, Zixin, does your company now cooperate with Huo Yuan? Yes. Qiao Zixin spoke confidently, her words laced with the pride she couldnt hide, My current company specializes in event operation planning. Weve been cooperating with Huangyou for many years. Huangyou and Huo Yuan recently collaborated on a villa park completion project, and they entrusted our company with the press conference. Su Yunrong nodded again and again. This daughter of hers, she had always thought of her as a slacker, no ambition in life, always only interested in dating. Yet she was so choosy, swapping boyfriends one after another, even now at 25, she still couldnt settle down. Unexpectedly, she suddenly had a change of heart a while ago. After quitting the small magazine company, she switched to this new company, showing real dedication to her work. Furthermore, she was collaborating with a big firm like Huo Yuans, she was genuinely surprised and relieved. When his mobile phone suddenly rang, Huo Jingshen picked it up, Excuse me, I need to take this call. Qiao Zixins gaze followed him the entire time. He must have come straight from his company, dressed in a well ironed three- piece suit, although his tie was loosened, and the collar of his white shirt slightly undone. When he was on the phone, his Adams apple moved slightly, radiating the unique sex appeal of a mature man. Tall, long-legged, straight back, every part of him was impeccable. His unapproachable and noble temperament was enough to make any woman fall for him in an instant. Such a perfect man, just looking at him, made her heart flutter uncontrollably. She had to find a way to win him over! She must! ** On the balcony, Chu Xiuhuangs nonchalant voice could be heard, Which room? Huo Jingshen frowned, What for? The mistress said that your niece is in the hospital. I bought some fruits, flowers, and other gifts No need for you to come. Huo Jingshen cut him off, Just send the stuff. Damn, I didnt say I wanted to go. Whats with your tone? ChuXiuhuang clicked his tongue, My secretary will send it over later. Look at you, old men just dont know how to cherish a woman. The little girl was distressed to the point of being hospitalized, youre a big man, she cant take that. You have to go slow, and prepare Huo Jingshen ended the call abruptly. What an earful! Upon returning to the ward, the three of them were still sitting there. As for Su Wanwan, she had been looking down at her phone the whole time, evidently not wanting to interact. Huo Jingshen glanced at her, his lips parting, Im sorry, Wanwan was shocked and needs to rest more. Oh. Su Yunrong rose hastily, Then we wont disturb her anymore. Wanwan, rest well. Zixin, lets go. Qiao Zixin left reluctantly. With the room free from distractions, Huo Jingshen closed the door. His deep, mature, and gentle voice asked, What fruit do you want to eat? But Su Wanwan asked him instead, Did our squad leader just call? Did you ask for my leave? Yes. Thoughts put to ease, Su Wanwan asked again, When can I be discharged? Well run another checkup in a bit. Huo Jingshen picked up the fruit and a knife and began to skillfully peel the fruit. What kind of checkup? Brain CT. Su Wanwan: She merely fainted from fright at the sight of a dog; was there really a need to examine her brain? Then. Dumb as a rock, if youre that afraid of dogs, why stir up KO? Huo Jingshen felt there was a real need to scan her brain. Had she become waterlogged? Or had she become stupid from reading too much recently? Hearing his tone made Su Wanwan angry, and she blurted out, Its all your fault! Who asked you to give that stick to KO! Stick? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, understanding instantly, So, you wanted to get rid of the evidence? Su Wanwan: Are you an idiot? Huo Jingshen glanced disdainfully, his tone mocking, Just for the sake of face, you would risk your life? If Aunt Han hadnt been home, do you know how dangerous what you did was? Cant you stop being so impulsive? Huh? Su Wanwan looked at him, and suddenly, her lips turned down, and her eyes reddened. Before Huo Jingshen could react You just know how to bully me! Im hospitalized now and youre still scolding me! All you think about all day is if it werent for you, would I be this embarrassed? You also said, you She suddenly laid down, grabbed the quilt, and covered her entire body. Huo Jingshen: He looked at the young girl who had wrapped herself like a dumpling and froze for a solid five seconds. Then, he walked over. He had barely pulled at it. Su Wanwan kicked and punched from under the covers, making the hospital bed clatter. Huo Jingshen: Then, with a hard pull, he managed to lift the blanket. Only to see Su Wanwan looking at him through teary eyes, all her delicate features scrunched together, her eyes red and swollen, biting her lip as if on the verge of crying, looking utterly wronged. Huo Jingshen felt as if a piece of his heart collapsed on the spot. He immediately reached out to hold her. Su Wanwan, feeling wronged and angry, struggled, but was still held in his arms. Then, Huo Jingshen held her, whispering softly, I love you, and as for other women, even if they stood in front of me, I wouldnt spare them a glance. I just dont take a liking to any of them. Su Wanwan: God! Even when sweet-talking, he sounded so high and mighty, pompous and haughty? What kind of man had she married? Did he deliberately try to annoy her? Well stew KO once we get home! Huo Jingshen added another sentence. The wolf dog luxuriously basking in the sun in its grand doghouse at the Imperial Court Villa suddenly trembled. Somethings wrong! In the patients room, Su Wanwan glared at him, Stew it? Do you have the heart to do that? Ido. Huo Jingshen replied without batting an eyelid. At this moment, even if Su Wanwan wanted the moon in the sky, he would find a way to give it to her. As long as she wasnt crying. This young girl was usually so lively and aggressive, like a wild cat. But now, her eyes filled with tears, her eyelashes wet. The sight melted his heart. Huo Jingshen said, It bullied you. Nonsense! Su Wanwan didnt believe him, The doghouse you built for it is bigger than my room! You prefer the dog over people! Nonsense! No matter how big the doghouse is, its still a doghouse. Even if the dog is excellent, it is just a pet. Huo Jingshen stroked her head like pacifying a child, But my love, youre different, Im all yours You only give me a little pocket money every month! Ive had a drivers license for along time! You wont even let me drive! Youre so close to other women, do you not realize youre a married man? Dont you know what an affair is? Whenever theres trouble, all you do is lie and deceive me, bully me all the time, this is not allowed, thats not allowed, have you ever considered how I feel? With new grievances piling on top of old grudges, Su Wanwan veered off topic the more she spoke. In the end, she fiercely pushed him away and declared, If you continue to bully me like this, Ill divorce you! Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: 306, An Unexpected Guest Chapter 306: 306, An Unexpected Guest Translator: 549690339 | New grievances mixed with old ones, Su Wanwan spoke more and more wrongfully, finally she stretched her hand out to push him, If you continue to bully me like this, I will divorce you! Upon hearing the word divorce, Huo Jingshens originally gentle expressions dramatically changed. His voice became cold, hard, and stern, Do you need to be taught a lesson? Su Wanwan puckered her lips in grievances, Youre bullying me again! Alright, alright. Huo Jingshen realized he had indeed wronged her. He hugged her and gently rocked her, his tone softening, Youre such a grown-up, but all you do is cry. Arent you ashamed? Saying that, he lifted his hand and wiped away the tears on the edge of her eyes which were about to fall. She looked so much prettier when she was clean. Su Wanwan continued speaking, If you want us to not divorce, you must respect my opinions. Why can only you control me? Cant I control you? Just like men and women should be equal, husbands and wives also should be. If you continue to do this, I will Ok. Huo Jingshen agreed instantly, Ill always listen to my baby from now on. He might as well just agree for now. Su Wanwan was taken aback, her eyes filled with suspicion as she gazed at him. Why didnt she believe him? But Huo Jingshen lowered his eyes again. Knock, knock, knock. Huo Jingshen: His face darkened! An unexpected visitor again! Su Wanwan quickly pushed him away. Huo Jingshen stood up and, in a deep voice, said, Come in. The door was pushed open, Nangong Ci, wearing a white lab gown, walked in cheerfully, followed by Shi Huan. Bigbrother, hows little sister-in-law? The second brothers secretary came to visit Oh! He looked at Su Wanwan intently, Little sister-in-law, why are you crying? Big brother, dont you know how to comfort her? Little sister-in- law was scared by a dog like this, you must take good care of her, so she doesnt develop any trauma. Otherwise, she will always be afraid of dogs The ensuing words were forced back by Huo Jingshens cold stare. Mr Huo, Mrs Huo. Shi Huan placed the flowers, fruits, and several pink gift bags she held onto the table, These are all gifts from Mr. Chu. He has been busy lately Busy with blind dates, we all know. Nangong Ci broke in sarcastically. Shi Huan adjusted her glasses, not changing her facial expression, Mrs. Huo, please do take care. Thankyou. Su Wanwan lowered her head, feeling utterly embarrassed. Being scared of dogs and fainting because of it is such a disgrace. The whole world might already know about this embarrassing incident. Its a good thing they dont know the real reason why she fainted After sitting for a while, Shi Huan excused herself with work as an excuse. Big brother. Nangong Ci shook his head, speaking in admiration, Can you believe the luck second brother has? He found such a dedicated secretary. She does everything, from secretarial work, to driving, to housekeeping, to cooking even in the middle of the night, she arrives within half an hour of him calling. Whenever he doesnt have a female companion, she even acts as his part-time girlfriend. And she is also in charge of all the company matters. She does an excellent job with no complaints. I am so jealous, I too want a secretary like Shi Huan If theres nothing else, you may leave. Huo Jingshen interrupted him. NangongCi: ** After completing a brain CT scan and realizing the next day was a weekend, Su Wanwan directly left the hospital and returned home. As soon as she got in the car, Su Wanwan asked, Is KO still at home? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrow, Why are you so afraid of dogs? He had never seen someone so terrified of dogs before, to the extent of avoiding them as if her life depended on it. And she was his wife. She had been afraid of KO for so long that it couldnt continue this way. I dont want to be scared, but when I was young, I was bitten by a dog, so now Im traumatized. Its all because of Qiao Zixin! Su Wanwan said angrily while talking about her childhood, She intentionally let her dog chase me and because my grandfather returned and scolded her, no one dared to keep dogs in our house. Qiao Zixin? Huo Jingshen nodded. His black eyes narrowed slightly. Halfway through the journey, Mother Huo suddenly called. Presumably knowing about Su Wanwan fainting and being hospitalized, she asked various questions. Of course, Huo Jingshen couldnt reveal the real reason and instead said that the shock of coming across a dog had caused her to faint, which led to a severe scolding from Old Madam Huo. In the end, she commanded, Immediately bring that dog to the main house! Did you listen? Mmm. Returning to the Imperial Court Villa, Huo Jingshen said, Im going to send KO back to the main house. My dear, go rest a bit and Ill cook when I return. Okay. Su Wanwan obediently got off the car. Seated in the living room, she soon heard the sound of a car engine starting. Somehow, she felt as though she could hear the heartbreaking howl of the wolf dog A feeling of unease engulfed Su Wanwan and she hurriedly picked up her phone. But as soon as she opened her social media, the first post was a picture of dogs. And there were two dogs! Mo Weiyi: [Help! The two puppies at my house are making out. What should I do? Waiting online, its urgent.] Su Wanwan: Is he an idiot?! She began typing furiously. ** Lishui Bay Villa. Mo Weiyi frowned at the responses on his social media. The answers were so varied. [If you find two male dogs in action, as an owner, you must immediately separate them.] [Take out your phone and record this wonderful moment.] [Stop it, its a sinful relationship! This is a love that is not accepted by society.] [Let them be free in love! If humans cant be gay, cant animals be?] [Have them neutered, cut their balls off.] Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: 307, Rong An Punished Chapter 307: 307, Rong An Punished Translator: 549690339 Then she saw Su Wanwans comment, You dont go to class, 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 uncomfortable, 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, come 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 the last incident, Rong An has been staying in the Lishui Bay Villa these days. Even if Mo Weiyi can only stay at home or occasionally 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 accident, Master Mo and Mo Yaoxiong would blame 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 back later. 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 low laugh, 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 accident on the way. Mos grandfather only said three words C go and pay the penalty. She didnt see that bodyguard again until half a year later. 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 hour later, the car finally drove into the Mos old house. When she saw the familiar black 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 and composed 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 suddenly come 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 flash 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 308 - Chapter 308: 308, Rong An Injured Chapter 308: 308, Rong An Injured Translator: 549690339 | Weiyi. MO Yaoxiongs voice suddenly sounded, he just came back from outside, his face looked terrible. I asked you to study well, but instead, youve caused such a trouble. Do you know? The person got beaten so badly he is handicapped now! He is still unconscious in the hospital! Mo Weiyis eyes turned red. If it werent for you making me study, would I be in school all day, causing this trouble? You Mo Yaoxiong was at a loss for words. Elder Mo coolly stared at his son. You too are to blame for this incident. Why are you yelling at Weiyi? She got hurt, almost got violated, she is the one who suffered the most! Mo Yaoxiong frowned, looking at Xiao Yebai. Yebai, did you let Rong An take action? Xiao Yebai replied, I took the action. Mo Yaoxiong was stunned, What did you say? I took the action. Xiao Yebai repeated calmly. No, I asked Rong An to take action! Mo Weiyi interrupted immediately, fearing that Xiao Yebai would be implicated. She said, Grandpa, Dad, Rong An did everything for me. If you have to punish anyone, punish me. Elder Mo looked at Xiao Yebai, his eyes were sharp, his faced cold. Really, you took the action? It was me. Xiao Yebai looked back at him, his voice as calm as always. I couldnt bear it when I saw it, so I took action. Its not, grandpa, its me, its me Mo Weiyi was worried and anxious, but then Okay. Elder Mo put the teacup on the table. Shi Kang. Uncle Shi, who was standing aside, quickly walked over. Elder. Bring Rong An over. Yes. Mo Weiyi was stunned. Is grandpa letting Rong An off the hook? Soon, Rong An was brought up. Seeing his appearance, Mo Weiyi was so scared she quickly turned around. He was wearing his usual simple black suit, but now the clothes were torn by whips, hanging on his body like rags, his hair was cut short, the whip marks on his face and forehead were clearly visible, streaked with blood. As he walked up, he was leaving a trail of blood on the floor, and his hands were dripping blood continuously Grandpa! Mo Weiyis tears fell directly. Youve gone too far! Why did you hit him so hard? He did everything for me, why did you Elder Mo looked at Xiao Yebai. Look carefully and remember. Next time, if anything untoward happens to my granddaughter, your fate will only be worse than his. After finishing his words, he stood up with his cane and sighed. Its getting late, take him down, and get ready for dinner. Soon, a maid came up and cleaned up the floor completely. In the dazzling light, it was as if nothing had happened just now. ** That night, the Mo familys dining room. It was Chinese cuisine tonight. The long white dining table covered with white tablecloth was full of a wide variety of Chinese dishes, which whetted ones appetite. Mo Weiyi sat there, but felt she had no appetite. Weiyi, why arent you eating? This is the Dongpo pork Uncle Shi made for you tonight. You love this Jiangsu-Zhejiang dish he made, dont you? Elder Mo asked affectionately. Mo Weiyi gave him a white-eyed look. Whenever I see pork, I think of Rong Ans flesh-torn body after he was beaten. Elder Mos face stiffened for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, Well, eat this, boiled shredded pork. This one is lighter. If you didnt hit him, he would be clean and neat too! Elder Mo was again: Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiong couldnt help but speak out in warning, his face serious. How could you talk to your grandpa like this? Mo Weiyi stood up directly. Im not eating! Hmph! Everyone: Seeing Mo Weiyi angrily leaving, Qu Yunyao also put down her chopsticks. Yunyao, whats wrong? Are you full as well? Xu Jing, sitting next to her, asked. She had been discharged from the hospital, but her right hand was still in plaster. Now she was eating with a spoon in her left hand, which looked a little awkward. Qu Yunyao said, I dont have an appetite. You seem to have no appetite recently. Are you too busy at work? Dont ruin your stomach. Here, have a piece of Dongpo pork. Before she finished speaking, Qu Yunyao suddenly felt nauseous and quickly covered her mouth and stood up. Sorry, Im going to the bathroom. ** In the luxurious restroom. After a bout of vomiting, Qu Yunyao stood up and rinsed her mouth. After that, she put on the hand cream and sprayed perfume from the side on herself. Such expensive and good-quality items could only be used in the Mo mansion. After tidying up herself, she opened the door, only to see Xu Jing standing quietly in front of her. Qu Yunyao was startled and put her hand to her chest. Mom, what are you doing? You scared me. Xu Jing looked into her eyes. Yunyao, are you pregnant? Qu Yunyao was stunned. Her face turned white in an instant, and she quickly denied, Mom, what are you talking about? How could I Youve been having poor appetite lately. Just now, you felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when you saw Dongpo pork. This is clearly a sign of early pregnancy. Xu Jing remained calm. What does Xu Rui say? If you are pregnant, shouldnt you two get married sooner? Its nothing to do with him! Qu Yunyao blurted out. Xu Jing was completely shocked. Yunyao, what do you mean by this? What do you mean it has nothing to do with him? Isnt Xu Rui your boyfriend? Doesnt he want to take responsibility? Mom. Qu Yunyao appeased her. What I mean is, Im not pregnant, so it has nothing to do with him. Really? Xu Jing didnt believe it.. Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: 309, found out about pregnancy Chapter 309: 309, found out about pregnancy Translator: 549690339 Really? Xu Jing couldnt believe it. These symptoms clearly indicated early pregnancy, she knew from experience. Really, Im just a little tired lately and have no appetite. Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? Xu Jing asked. Qu Yunyao smiled, Ill go for a check-up tomorrow, I suspect it might be because my stomach isnt doing well. Ill go with you. Xu Jing immediately responded. No need, I can go by myself. Your arm hasnt healed yet. No way, I wont rest easy. Qu Yunyao: Seeing the certainty on Xu Jings face, she suddenly got scared. Could it be she was really pregnant? After what happened last time, the next day she hastily flew the early flight back to Nancheng, landed and had Xu Rui buy her morning-after pills. Could morning-after pills fail too? Qu Yunyao was worried inside, but didnt show anything on her face. Xu Jing, despite her weakness, was very perceptive, she couldnt let her find out ** After dinner, Xiao Yebai was called into the study to discuss company matters by Mo Yaoxiong. By the time they finished, it was already past nine oclock in the evening. Glancing at the time, he asked a nearby servant, Where is the princess? The servant honestly answered, The princess has gone to the villa on the back hill. The back hill villa, was the exclusive residence for the servants and bodyguards. ** Ten minutes later, when Xiao Yebai entered the room, he saw Rong An, a man and woman alone by the bed. Rong An was lying on the bed covered in injuries, and his wife was sitting by the bed. They didnt appear to be overly intimate, but seeing them Was somewhat irritating. Master Xiao. Seeing Xiao Yebai, Rong An immediately tried to get up. Dont move, youve just been treated. Mo Weiyi immediately held him down. The palm of her hand had been scraped and had been wrapped in gauze lately, but her fingers were fine, fair, slender, and placed on the mans body, which was similarly wrapped in gauze. Due to the lashing, Rong An was shirtless. Despite being covered in layers of gauze, his strong muscles and large patches of skin were still exposed. Behind the lenses, a pair of calm eyes suddenly flashed a deep emotion. Mo Weiyi was unaware of this. She turned to look at Xiao Yebai, her charming face broke into a sweet smile, Xiaobai, did you come to pick me up? Xiao Yebai opened his thin lips, Its time to go home. This early? Mo Weiyi looked at the time. It was just past nine. Regardless, Xiao Yebai spoke indifferently, are you planning to stay here tonight? If thats the case, lets go home. Mo Weiyi immediately got up. Then, she started instructing Rong An, Rong An, you should take care of your injuries. The doctor said your wounds shouldnt get wet, and you should avoid moving around these few days. Especially the wound on your face, you need to change the dressing every day, otherwise, it will leave a scar and youll become ugly! Rong An nodded, rigidly agreeing, Okay. Xiao Yebai was silent, his face under the glaring light of the white incandescent lamp was somewhat cold and sharp due to the glare from his glasses. Once Mo Weiyi finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but behind him, he once again heard her chattering, Dont worry about me for now, my grandfather has already arranged a new bodyguard for me. Please rest assured, as soon as your injuries heal, I will ask my grandfather to reassign you to me. Okay. Then Im going now, if my grandfather wants to punish you, be smart and let the doctor call me ahead of time. Dont just admit to things foolishly, understand? Understood. Xiao Yebai stood there, his hands slowly pocketing into the trousers of his suit. His tall, upright figure, clad in a black suit, looked cold and silent. Alright then, Im leaving now. Princess, take care. Xiao Yebai walked out, his face expressionless. Out in the corridor, before he had reached the corner, a patter of tiny steps echoed from behind him. Immediately following, a cloud of fragrance accompanied by the warm body hanging onto his arm. Mo Weiyis coquettish voice rang out, Xiaobai, wait for me. Xiao Yebai continued to walk with long strides, only slowing his steps a bit. The two of them made their way downstairs, under the streetlights, and across the old houses bluestone path, they returned to the Chinese-style main house. As soon as they got in the car, Mo Weiyi touched her stomach, What should I do? I am a bit hungry. Xiao Yebai didnt say a word, he started the car. Xiaobai, I suddenly feel like eating steak at Dihongs, will you join me? Mo Weiyi hadnt eaten at all just now, partly out of anger and partly out of concern. She had specifically run to the back, seeing that Rong An had only suffered minor injuries and was alright, after having a brief conversation, she felt relieved. Now she was starving, as if her back was glued to her chest. However, Xiao Yebai ignored her, driving the car out without uttering a word. Even though Mo Weiyi was usually slow, she noticed that her husband was not himself! Xiaobai, why are you ignoring me? Xiao Yebai still didnt say anything. The profile of his earnestly driving face was cultured and handsome, but also exuded a cold indifference to strangers. Mo Weiyi carefully leaned closer, affectionately and softly coaxing, Xiaobai, Im really hungry. I didnt eat a single bite at dinner. Why didnt you eat? Xiao Yebai finally spoke. Mo Weiyi immediately responded, Isnt it all because of my grandfather? He always throws tantrums for no reason, wouldnt answer the phone, and intentionally called Rong An back to be punished with family rules. Its completely unreasonable! So youre worried about Rong An? The mans voice was as calm as ever.. Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: 310, please Xiaobai Chapter 310: 310, please Xiaobai Translator: 549690339 Of course, I was worried. Mo Weiyi declared without hesitation, He was beaten up like that because of me. Thank god I arrived in time. As for Rong An, why couldnt he inform me when he was leaving? He knew very well that being suddenly called back by his grandfather was no good news. Hes so foolish. Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes and his peach-blossom eyes behind the glasses seemed mysterious and elongated. Mo Weiyi talked a lot and then looked up to her husband, And you, didnt I tell you to wait for me outside? You clearly knew every time there was trouble, both grandpa and dad would find fault with you, yet why did you go in first? What if I arrived late and they started to bully you? Next time you must stay with me. Only then can I protect you. Understand? Protect me? Xiao Yebais thin lips curved upward as if he was smiling. Yes, you are my man and of course I have to protect you, Mo Weiyi said naturally then rubbed her belly, I am really hungry, Xiaobai, lets go to Dihong. Its too late. Xiao Yebai looked straight ahead and the car made a turn. Mo Weiyi glanced at the time. True enough, it was already close to ten oclock, her beauty sleep time was approaching. After dinner, she would have to digest the meal which meant she wouldnt be able to sleep for a while. She gave up on the thought. ** The black Bentley soon returned to the Lishui Bay Villa. As they entered the living room, they heard the whimpering of a puppy from the balcony. Mo Weiyi exclaimed, Aunt Zhou, is Hua Xiaobai okay? At the mention of this name, Xiao Yebais eyebrows slightly twitched. Nothing serious, Aunt Zhou almost misspoke, then hastily corrected herself, I took him to the vet. He just had an upset stomach and has taken his medicine. I see. Mo Weiyi happily headed to the balcony, and crouched down to take a look. Then, she beckoned, Xiaobai, come here and see Hua Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai: Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi turned around, Hurry up and come over. Xiao Yebai finally went over, standing there expressionless, looking down at the two little puppies in the cage. Compared to two months ago, theyve indeed grown a lot in size. I initially thought you got a male and a female, I didnt expect both of them to be male. Should we separate their sleeping areas? Why? Xiao Yebai unbuttoned his shirt. Im afraid they might develop a relationship. Xiao Yebais movements halted. Then, Mo Weiyi continued to express her concern, Both Hua Xiaobai and Bai Xiaobai are male dogs. They are always close to each other, which is quite dangerous. I read online that Change their names, the mans voice suddenly rang out. Huh? Change their names, Xiao Yebai looked at her. His expression and tone were indifferent, but there was a certain unquestionable aura about him. Mo Weiyi disagreed, Why should we change their names? Ive been calling them these names for quite a while already. Xiao Yebai said, If you dont change, I will give away the dogs tomorrow. Mo Weiyi, surprised, stuttered, Xiaobai, youyou Xiao Yebai turned to leave. Mo Weiyi: ** When Mo Weiyi checked on the puppies and returned upstairs, Xiao Yebai had already finished his bath and was changing his clothes. Standing in front of the wardrobe, half-dressed in a light gray home T-shirt, his tight and well-defined abdominal muscles were exposed. Under the light, his fair and glowing skin looked incredibly sexy. Upon hearing the sound, he made no reaction, maintaining his original pose, expressionless as he tugged at the bottom edge of his shirt. His hair was still slightly wet from the shower. Without the glasses, his eyes looked remarkably deep and his side profile was breathtakingly handsome. Mo Weiyi quickly dashed into the bathroom, then holding a clean towel, she approached him with a playful smile, Xiaobai, let me help you dry your hair. Xiao Yebai looked down at her. Due to the height difference, Mo Weiyi only reached his shoulders. With her dark curly hair and a fresh complexion, her petite face displayed a girlish innocence. Coupled with her pleasing smile at that moment Xiao Yebais initially cold expression softened slightly. When Mo Weiyi reached out to grab his hand, he allowed her to guide him to sit down on the couch. Mo Weiyi raised one knee to kneel on the sofa next to him while the other foot remained on the ground. She began to dutifully dry his hair. The room fell into silence. When his hair was almost dry, Mo Weiyi dropped the towel, wrapped her arms around his neck, sat down in his lap and started to act coy, Xiaobai, can you stop being angry? Xiao Yebai looked at her, scrutinizing her. Mo Weiyi met his cold, indifferent gaze. Xiaobai. She continued with her soft voice, Stop being angry, okay? Xiaobai, Xiaobai Her voice was soft and sweet, conveying a clear sense of favor and charm. The mans originally calm manner gradually changed. Then, she heard the mans deep voice suddenly ring out, Weiyi. Hmm? She half-closed her eyes, her voice soft and seductive, radiating an indescribable allure.. Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: 311, love you so much, so much. Chapter 311: 311, love you so much, so much. Translator: 549690339 | Say you love me. Immediately, Mo Weiyi said, I love you. Xiao Yebai gave a hint of a smile on his thin lips, How much? Very much, I love you so much. Say it again. I love Xiaobai, I love Xiaobai so much, I love Xiaobai the most. Mo Weiyi obediently repeated. Xiao Yebai stared intensely at her face, yet his own face was void of any emotions. The next morning. Qu Yunyao arrived at the hospital and immediately received a call from Xu Jing. Yunyao, where are you? Mom, I agreed with Xu Rui to discuss the script at the studio today. Didnt we agree to go to the hospital together today? Why did you leave by yourself? Xu Jing was very angry. Mom, wont it be fine if Xu Rui and I go for a checkup together later? Why are you so anxious? Qu Yunyao spoke in a deliberately nonchalant tone, Okay, everyone is already here, I will call you after the checkup. This child. Although Xu Jing was not satisfied, there was nothing she could do. After hanging up the phone, Qu Yunyao immediately went to register for a gynecology appointment. * * Half an hour later, Qu Yunyao sat in the consulting room with a pale face. Congratulations, you are pregnant for 38 days. The doctor pushed a report over, However, you are a bit weak. During the first three months of pregnancy, you must be careful not to engage in vigorous activities to avoid harm to the fetus Doctor, have you made a mistake? Qu Yunyao interrupted her, I clearly remember taking contraceptive pills, I cant possibly be pregnant. Oh, is it? The doctor laughed, From a scientific point of view, the success rate of both contraceptive pills and condoms is about 95 percent, not 100 percent. How is this possible? Qu Yunyao did not believe it. Just a five percent chance, and she was the one to land in it? Miss. The doctor finally understood her meaning, If you really dont want this child, please communicate with your husband or family as soon as possible, make a decision, and I can help you arrange for an abortion operation quickly. Abortion? Qu Yunyao turned pale again. The next second, she grabbed the test report and left the consulting room. * * Xu Ruis studio was located in an office building in the center of Nancheng City. When Qu Yunyao rushed in, he was sitting behind his desk watching the video clip on his computer. Xu Rui! A piece of paper slamed down onto his desk. Qu Yunyao was gritting her teeth and staring at him, What happened, Im asking you, what happened? Xu Rui picked up the paper and then laughed, Yunyao, youre pregnant. He sounded very happy. Its your doing! Qu Yunyao, who had originally only suspected him, instantly affirmed her suspicion at his reaction, What you gave me that time wasnt a contraceptive pill, right? Why did you lie to me! Have you gone crazy! Why Yunyao. Xu Rui quickly stood up and went over to hold her, Dont get excited, you have a baby in your stomach now, you need to stay happy. I dont want to be pregnant! Qu Yunyao was going insane. The memory of that night made her feel nauseous! She finally managed to leave Haicheng and had nothing to do with that fat pig, out of sight, out of mind. No third person would know about that night, but now she was carrying his child! How could she accept this? Xu Rui comforted her, Dont get excited, this is all for our plan. What do you mean? Qu Yunyao grit her teeth, I am your girlfriend! Why would you want me to carry another mans child! Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: 312, Xiaobai is courting death Chapter 312: 312, Xiaobai is courting death Translator: 549690339 I What do you mean? Qu Yunyao gritted her teeth, Im your girlfriend! Why would you want me to bear another mans child! Because she understood Xu Ruis character, she always trusted him. She considered him simple and honest, without ulterior motives, and would never manipulate others. She never imagined that she would be tricked by him! She couldnt help thinking of a phrase. Playing the pig to eat the tiger! Xu Rui said, Weve been back from Haicheng for over a month, you said you would soon talk to Xiao Yebai about the investment, but is there any result now? I Qu Yunyao was speechless. Its not that there was no result, but that she had lied to Xu Rui. She hadnt slept with Xiao Yebai at all, so how could she threaten Xiao Yebai? I knew he wouldnt admit it! After all, only the two of you knew about that night, and you have no evidence. Now, you are pregnant, the child is Xiao Yebais, as long as you use this child to communicate with him No! Qu Yunyao interrupted sharply. Why? Xu Rui looked at her, his direct gaze making her heart tremble. Qu Yunyao turned away, quickly thinking of an excuse, Im afraid Afraid of what? What is there to be afraid of! Xu Rui quickly turned her around again, All we have to do now is show this pregnancy certificate to Xiao Yebai for him to make his own choice. If he still refuses to agree to invest, we can threaten him. Ha, its just that he used Mo Familys young misss favor to become Mo Familys son-in-law-to-be, and thus obtained his position as the president of Mo Group today. But if the young miss of the Mo Family sees this Xu Rui held up the pregnancy certificate triumphantly, his face full of complacency, What do you think, will Xiao Yebai agree to give us a billion dollars? Or will he let Miss Mo know about his infidelity, get rid of him in anger, and instantly fall from grace, becoming a penniless man? Between a billion and the position of son-in-law of the Mo Family, which do you think he will choose? Yunyao, you taught me all this, have you forgotten? Qu Yunyao had nothing to say. Yes. That was her original plan, but plans are always subject to changes. Thats it. Im going to call Xiao Yebai now. With that, Xu Rui immediately reached for his cellphone. No! Qu Yunyao rushed over to stop him. Xu Rui looked at her, Yunyao, what are you still hesitating for? Qu Yunyao frantically dramatised, Xiao Yebai is a dangerous man, do you know that? My cousin was slapped by him, he crushed the mans virility, and even beat him into a vegetative state. If he wants to go after us, what could we do? As expected, Xu Ruis face immediately turned grave, You mean By now, Qu Yunyao had calmed down. She said, We cant be rash about this matter. We must plan well so we can hit the target in one shot, leaving Xiao Yebai with no excuse to refuse. Like photographs, videos, call records even if we do not have them, you can make them, cant you? She wished she could get rid of the evil seed in her womb right away. But before she did, she could still use it for something. Xu Rui finally nodded. Understood. You always think things through. Yaoyao, you are truly my helpful wife. Qu Yunyao smiled. * * When Qu Yunyao sent over a message, Mo Weiyi was still in bed. When she woke up, despite the heavy curtains in the room, she could vaguely see the bright light outside. She was a little dazed. She couldnt even remember how she fell asleep last night. Now, she felt refreshed, obviously she had taken a bath, wearing a clean nightgown, feeling hungry. Really. She had been calling Hua Xiaobais name for so long. Last night, she inexplicably got angry and intentionally treated her like that. Mo Weiyi was aggrieved. When she heard the WeChat notification, thinking it was from Xiao Yebai, she immediately reached for it. But it turned out to be from Qu Yunyao. She wouldnt have had this cousins contact if it wasnt for Mo Yaoxiong insisting that they were family and creating a family group chat, for which she wouldnt have accepted her friend request otherwise. When she opened the message, Mo Weiyi was stunned. Qu Yunyao sent a photograph. In the picture, Qu Yunyao appeared with messy hair, blushing cheeks, shy eyes looking at the camera, gripping the sheets with both hands, only revealing her bare shoulders. There were visible marks on her upper body. There was no need to guess what she was wearing below, and under what circumstances this photo was taken. She must be crazy! Does she have a mental problem? Why would she send such intimate pictures to her? What was she trying to do? Show off? Mo Weiyi found it utterly baffling. If she had the ability, she should just send a video of herself with her boyfriend! Then, Qu Yunyao sent a text message. [Sorry, I sent the wrong person, dont overthink it, Yiyi.] After saying this, the photo was swiftly retracted. Mo Weiyi: Just as she was about to reply, her bedroom door was suddenly opened. Mo Weiyi quickly tossed aside her phone, Xiaobai, so you havent left yet. But Even though he hadnt left, Xiao Yebai was now in a black suit, looking like he was about to leave.. Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: 313, DarkXiaobai Chapter 313: 313, DarkXiaobai Translator: 549690339 As expected. Im going out for a bit, you can have lunch by yourself. Oh, Mo Weiyi pouted slightly, feeling a bit unhappy, what is so important? Its the weekend and youre still so busy. Xiao Yebai actually curled his thin lips, his handsome clean face looking much gentler. He said, Your hand is almost healed, you should be able to return to school next week. Having said that, he picked up the car keys on the coffee table. Are you leaving now? Mo Weiyi quickly asked. Yes. So Mo Weiyi extended her hands, tilting her face, her curly hair scattered over her shoulders. No words needed to be said, the meaning was clear. Xiao Yebai looked at her for a moment, then still came over, bending his tall body to hold her. The familiar scent of a mans hormones came rushing forward. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes. They seemed just like any ordinary affectionate couple, sweet and delicate. When it ended, Xiao Yebai said, If youre tired, you can sleep a little longer. So, you do realize Im tired, huh? Speaking of this, Mo Weiyi was aggrieved again, My back is so sore, this couch, its so uncomfortable. Im sorry, Xiao Yebais voice was faint, Ill have it replaced with a bigger one later. Mo Weiyi: She blushed. How could Xiaobai say such a thing without any change in his facial expression? Such a deep-thinker! ** An hour later, Xiao Yebai drove to the public hospital on Sun Road. In the parking lot, a black SUV had been waiting for a long time. Leaning against the car was a man, outstandingly handsome, dressed casually, with a slightly wicked aura. A thin lip held an unlit cigarette, and the long fingers were twirling a lighter. When he saw Xiao Yebai, he gestured towards the car, Ive brought the person. Lets go. Xiao Yebai only said these two words before striding away. Damn. The man had no choice but to turn back and open the car door, Come out. In the back seat, Xiao Zhiwei looked back, quickly got out of the car. Looking at the tall figure ahead, she could no longer restrain herself and ran over, Brother, brother Xiao Yebais steps didnt stop. Xiao Zhiwei hurriedly caught up to him, her joy scattering all her doubts and fears, leaving only infatuation in her eyes. Brother, was it you who had this man bring me here? Yesterday, this strange man suddenly arrived at the Xiao Family in Tongcheng and brought her here directly. Although he didnt roughhouse her, she still spent a day and a night in fear. No matter how much she made noise, no matter how much she asked, he didnt say a word. Unexpectedly, he was a friend of Xiao Yebai Brother? You called me for something? Xiao Yebai went straight into the elevator. After Xiao Zhiwei entered, the young man also quickly followed, then pressed the button for the 22nd floor. Xiao Zhiwei felt a touch of unease. The elevator slowly ascended, until it stopped, they came in front of a hospital room, Xiao Yebai hadnt said a word the whole time. Before the room, there were two police officers standing guard. Xiao Zhiwei was instantly panicky, Brother, what are you bringing me here for? The young man went over to push the door open, Come in. Xiao Yebai stepped in. Xiao Zhiwei stood there without moving, until Xiao Yebais voice rang out, Come in. Xiao Zhiwei had no choice but to follow him in. Then, she saw a person lying on the bed, all wrapped up in gauze, even the face, the gauze was faintly soaked in blood, it was clearly a serious injury. Xiao Zhiwei instantly turned pale with fear, even her voice trembling, Brother, who who is this person? Xiao Yebai looked down at her. Behind the glasses, those pair of eyes were deep, pitch black, filled with hidden sharpness. Theres a card with information at the bedside, he said. Xiao Zhiwei had no choice but to shakily walk over. When she clearly saw the two characters in the name column, her face drastically changed, her whole body tensing up, almost unable to believe her own eyes. A low, indifferent voice slowly sounded, Do you recognize him now? Xiao Zhiwei swiftly turned around, What happened to him? Xiao Yebai quietly looked at her, A few days ago, he was following Weiyi, trying to violate her, and your name was in his phone contacts. Is Miss Mo okay? The shock on Xiao Zhiweis face didnt seem fake. In fact, she was really in a panic. Since returning to Tongcheng, she had not been in contact with Song Quan. And the news of Mo Weiyi being attacked, due to the Mo Familys deliberate concealment, hadnt spread, and she, far away in Tongcheng, was completely unaware of it. Zhiwei, Xiao Yebais voice was cold to the extreme, I told you, dont mess with Weiyi. Brother, what do you mean by that? Xiao Zhiwei looked pale, her tone angry, Ive not been in Nancheng at all recently, I had no idea about this. You cant blame this on me just because I know Song Quan. Yes, I know him, I even know hes a hooligan! A pervert! Maybe he just saw Miss Mo by chance and thought she was pretty and developed malicious intentions. What does this have to do with me? The man stood there straight, his face expressionless after hearing her words. Instead, the young man beside started to speak, Even so, Miss Xiao, the police have the right to suspect your direct involvement in this matter. What do you mean? Xiao Zhiwei widened her eyes. As its confirmed that you and Song Quan know each other. The young man gave a slight smile, Miss Xiao, could you please accompany me to the police station.. Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: 314, pick up the lunchbox and leave Chapter 314: 314, pick up the lunchbox and leave Translator: 549690339 I Xiao Zhiweis face turned pale from fear. Seeing two police officers in uniform entering the room, she immediately shouted, What gives you the right to arrest me? I didnt do anything. Youre framing me without any evidence. You have no right to take me in. Letlet me go At the young mans signal, the police moved forward, and with a clack, handcuffs were locked onto Xiao Zhiweis wrists. Xiao Zhiwei had never thought things would turn out this way. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with the tall, stoic man standing nearby. Brother, please save me. I really didnt do anything. Ive been wronged. I swear, Brother, please save me But no matter how she pleaded, Xiao Yebai remained unresponsive. By the time the police took her away, he was still standing there, emotionless and merciless. The womans cries of despair echoed down the hallway for a long time. It was quite unsettling. Eventually, when all was quiet, the man sighed and said, Actually, from a legal perspective, if your sister refuses to admit her involvement in this matter and theres no concrete evidence, she can only be held inside for a few days. Find someone to make her suffer a little. Though Xiao Yebais words were nonchalant, they made the mans brow furrow in surprise. WTF, isnt she your sister? Talk about justice being above family bonds! Xiao Yebai gave him a brief glance. Indeed. The man immediately laughed, Well, whoever messes with your Little Princess deserves it. When it comes to choosing between a sister and a wife, the wife is more important. After all love is priceless. Xiao Yebai glanced at his watch, I have to go. Already leaving? Wont you take me out for a meal? Or a massage? Maybe a foot rub? I drove all the way from Nancheng to Tongcheng and back just for you. No complaints at all Go eat by yourself. The man was about to complain when he thought better of it. Alright then, youre such a busy man, Mr. Xiao. I wont take up more of your time. Just reimburse me, and thats it. Being the CEO of the Mo Family corporation with a net worth in the billions, a meal like a shark fin and abalone feast would undoubtedly be a treat. However, when his phone rang and he picked it up, his face instantly turned green. Damn it A 30 yuan red pocket? Youre treating me like a beggar! Thats what you give to your brother? 30 yuan can only buy a meal. Do you want me to take my meal and leave? Send it again, hurry up He cursed for a while, then looked up. The room was empty, Xiao Yebai was already gone. ** On Monday, Mo Weiyi returned to school. The abrasion on her hand had almost healed. Although she still could not write with her left hand, her right hand was fine. In the morning, she packed her school bag and noticed the USB stick. After thinking for a moment, she removed it. Holding such confidential files, it would be safer to leave it at home in case she lost it again. That would be a huge responsibility. To avoid harassment like last time with Song Quan waiting by the school gate, her new bodyguard drove her directly into the schools parking lot. However, they were still interrupted by an unwelcome guest. At noon, Mo Weiyi had planned to meet Su Wanwan at the cafeteria entrance. While she was waiting, a middle-aged woman rushed over and fell to her knees with a loud thud. The sound was so loud it made Mo Weiyis face pale. Before she could react, her legs were already embraced. She instinctively struggled to get free, but it was no use. The woman clung desperately to the hem of her dress. If it werent for the fact she was wearing a dress today, Mo Weiyi doubted whether her skirt would be yanked down. Miss Mo, I beg you, please spare my daughter. Miss Mo, please The woman wept as she spoke, and soon her face was covered in tears. A group of students had already gathered around. It was lunchtime, so the circle of onlookers grew quickly, whispering among each other. Mo Weiyi felt like she was a gorilla in a zoo. She asked, Who is your daughter? Feifei, my daughter is Feifei, your classmate. How could you be so ruthless The woman burst into sobs again as she spoke. Mo Weiyi still didnt know what was going on, What happened to Feifei? The woman wiped her tears and said, Miss Mo, you were at Feifeis birthday party, she would never steal a ring. Shes a good girl, shes always been a good student, and our neighbors always praise her for being considerate. This cant be possible, it just cant. Stealing a ring? Mo Weiyi frowned. Yes, the police have taken her in now, they say shes facing five years in prison. My daughter is only twenty years old, how is she supposed to survive those five years? Her life would be ruined, Miss Mo. The police told us the ring was yours, it must be a misunderstanding, right? Mo Weiyi looked utterly confused. Before she could even react, the woman clung to her legs again, fell to her knees, and began to cry and beg once more. When Su Wanwan arrived at the cafeteria entrance, she saw a huge crowd surrounding someone. Initially, she was going to ignore it, but when she heard one of classmates mention the campus belle, she immediately rushed over. By this time, the bodyguard had already pushed away the crowd, but the woman was still shouting. Weiyi, whats going on? Su Wanwan finally made her way to the center of the crowd. Mo Weiyi pulled at her long hair, then straightened her dress. When she looked up again, her face was cold and proud.. Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: 315, boldly confronting people Chapter 315: 315, boldly confronting people Translator: 549690339 | When she looked up again, her gaze had turned cold and arrogant. You are Li Feifeis mother, right? Ill tell you this. Your daughter had a boyfriend who stole my jewelry to give her as gifts, and it wasnt just a one-time thing! Your daughter and I are both law students. She knew stealing was wrong, yet she chose to break the law even after her boyfriend earned his punishment. This is absolutely an aggravation of a crime! Since the police have evidence of her theft, thats a crime! Crimes must be punished! You didnt educate your daughter well before this happened, it does not reflect well on you as a mother to refuse to admit that youve neglected her upbringing. Why have you come to me? Are you simply ignorant of the law? The woman was taken aback, becoming flustered. She pointed at Mo Weiyi and spat out, Well, isnt this little girl wicked! My daughters boyfriend steals from you, and you use it as an excuse to frame my daughter, dont you? Beware the wrath of a woman! Youre going to pay for this! Karma is a bitch, you know Mow Weiyi rolled her eyes, tired of listening to a single word this woman said, and ordered, Throw her out! Yes, Princess. The bodyguard grabbed the woman and hauled her away. She fought and struggled all the way down, spitting vile words constantly. Bystanders started whispering among themselves: Poor Li Feifei was expelled, and it was done by the schools sweetheart. But we cant blame the schools sweetheart, can we? How could she be arrested if she didnt steal? Although thats true, the school sweetheart is merciless. Her poor mother was begging on her knees Yeah, I heard that Li Feifei was an excellent law student and was recommended for a gold-medal law firm. Parents hearts are filled with pity! II II Mow Weiyi felt a headache coming on. She knew that her flamboyant behavior could cause resentment and jealousy in others. But to lay blame on her for this situation was unexpected. If you were to get hit by a car while crossing a pedestrian lane, and the driver got injured, would you be blamed for being in the way when the driver ran a red light? Su Wanwans voice broke the silence. Su Wanwan looked at them, sneered, You gossiping housewives dont look that great, but your mouth sure is fierce. You love to play the role of a saint, who are you trying to impress? Its not you whos in trouble, is it? All day long, all you know is to bitch about everything, bitch this, bitch that! The female students looked embarrassed. Some left, some kept quiet. Very soon, everyone had dispersed. Mo Weiyi hugged Su Wanwans arm, Baby Wanwan, youre so cool! Her outburst just now was totally boyfriend no, girlfriend material! Su Wanwan laughed without humor, Is your hand healed? Can you come back to class? Yes, from today on, I will study well like you! Really? Su Wanwan continued laughing without humor, Then tell me, have you passed your English Level 6 exam yet? Huh? What English Level 6? Su Wanwan lifted up the 2017 English Level 4 Exam Real Questions book in her hand. Mow Weiyi gaped in surprise, I think I may not have passed Level 4. Su Wanwan: She thought too highly of her. Shes in her third year of university, and she hasnt even passed English Level 4? When is the test? asked Mo Weiyi. Its on the sixth of next month, less than a month away. Thats soon. Im afraid I wont make it. Lets forget about it. Mo Weiyi smiled slightly, Come on, lets go, Ill take you out for lunch. Su Wanwan once again: ** After the bodyguard dumped the woman at the school gate, he turned and left. Soon after, her husband Li Xingwang rushed over, Yulan, have you gone mad? Did you really go and confront Miss Mo? Zhou Yulan grimaced in pain, Quick, help me up, ah, Im in so much pain, my back. Li Xingwang helped her up, How many times have I told you, we cant afford to offend the Mo Family. Why didnt you listen to me? You useless thing! Before she could finish, Zhou Yulan interrupted with an angry scold, Our daughter has been jailed by the Mo Family, and you as a father want to be a coward! The Mo Family is rich and powerful, what can we do? Why blame anyone but their daughter, who had to steal from none other than Mo Weiyi? Everyone knew that the Mo Family only had one precious daughter, there was no way they would let her be wronged without a fight. I dont care! Zhou Yulan pushed her husband away, I only have one daughter, shes only twenty years old, shes still in college, she cant be wrongfully accused like this! My poor daughter, oh, Wooo With her wife sobbing in grief, Li Xingwang could do nothing, Youve already seen her, what did she say? When it came to that, Zhou Yulan got even angrier. Was she really scolded as an ignorant layman by a young girl? And blamed for not being able to educate her own daughter? As she gritted her teeth, she said, Im going to the Mo Family! I must get an explanation! She just didnt believe it. No matter how rich and powerful the Mo Family was, could they really get away with everything? ** After lunch, the two went to the school library. However, only Su Wanwan was truly studying doing problems, memorizing vocabulary, searching for materials she was happily immersed in her work.. Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: 316, my Xiaobai is the most handsome! Chapter 316: 316, my Xiaobai is the most handsome! Translator: 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 black 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 class president and academic committee member to help struggling classmates. However, it was different because Lin Qiao was involved. If she accepted 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 listening comprehension is not a problem. But domestic examinations need lots of rote memorization. If you cram at the last minute, its like finding a needle in a haystack. With this dictionary, your studies will be twice as effective. Its my duty as a class 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 glared at her, He knows Im married, its impossible. Mo Weiyi was wearing only one earphone, smiling cunningly, Actually, if you dont compare 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 he compare 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 can come 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 to compensate 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 can come to your company to pick it up.] [Youre busy studying recently, right? Id better deliver it to you myself. My company 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 Yunrong last 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 planned 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 the company, 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 villa 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 villa number 69, she got out and deliberately dawdled near the entrance. It wasnt until she saw a familiar black Continental that she quickly turned around and pretended to ring the doorbell.. Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: 317, Did Mr. Huo order the dog to bite someone? Chapter 317: 317, Did Mr. Huo order the dog to bite someone? Translator: 549690339 Uncle Huo. In the car, Fu Ziyangs tiny hand was touching the soft and shiny black fur of ko, and he asked with a cute expression, Isnt Aunt coming home today? Otherwise, why would he and KO be taken home? The man who wanted his wife more than the dog just grunted, his dark eyes slightly narrowed. In front of the courtyard gate, a woman stood there. In November, it was just after six in the evening, the sky was already somewhat dim, and the temperature was only about five or six degrees. But she was wearing a thin red dress, revealing her legs, her pale skin contrasting against the dusk, appearing overly scheming. Woof! Seeing a stranger at the door, KO decisively barked. Fu Ziyang then asked, Uncle Huo, is that a thief? Huo Jingshen: Not exactly a thief. But her relentless scheming was true. He drove the car over and then turned on the high beams. Qiao Zixin immediately turned around. The dazzling light forced her to raise her hand to shield her eyes, leaving her rather flustered. When the car stopped in front of her, she immediately approached with an elegant smile, Mr. Huo. The car window rolled down, revealing the mans mature and charming profile. Exquisitely handsome, with smooth features like a work of art from heaven, causing Qiao Zixins heart to flutter. Miss Qiao? Mr. Huo, I came to find Wanwan, my grandfather asked me to give her a property deed. Huo Jingshens thin lips curled slightly, You can give it to me. Qiao Zixin hesitated, hurriedly saying, Wanwan will be back soon, I would rather give it to her myself, I also have something to say to her. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. His little wife was coming home? And she didnt even say anything to her husband? Then Ill trouble Miss Qiao, he said. No trouble, no trouble. Qiao Zixin subconsciously reached out, trying to open the car door. Earlier, in order to wait for Huo Jingshen to come home, she had hovered around the neighborhood for nearly half an hour, nearly freezing to death! For the sake of looking good, she borrowed this red dress from the club, and covered it with a tasselled shawl that was hardly warm. Now her whole body was freezing. But the car window was suddenly rolled up, and then, the black car simply drove into the courtyard without looking back. Without even looking back! A cold autumn wind blew, leaving Qiao Zixin shivering. She had no choice but to walk in herself. The villa was large, the yard even larger. From the gate to the house was a long cobblestone path. Qiao Zixin, in her eight or nine-centimeter heels, struggled to walk. Finally, she reached the front door of the villa, almost frozen stiff. She tightened her shawl a bit and freshened up to ensure her perfect appearance before stepping in slowly. In the living room. Huo Jingshen was standing there, unbuttoning his shirt. He had already taken off his coat. His black suit pants were stiff with not a single wrinkle. The downward gaze was handsome and elegant. Under the indoor light, he looked exceptionally gentle and refined. He was tall, with broad shoulders, and straight back. His fingers were long and good-looking, his forearms muscular and strong. The open collar of his shirt revealed the mans delicate and sexy collarbone. Qiao Zixin was somewhat mesmerized. Huo Jingshen smoothed his shirt sleeves and lifted his eyelids. Qiao Zixin was still gazing at him dreamily, seemingly oblivious. Until she heard Su Wanwans voice behind her, Im back. Qiao Zixin quickly turned around, Wanwan, youre back. Su Wanwan quickly changed her shoes and walked in, Eh, where are my things? Oh. Qiao Zixin took out the folder and handed it to her, Grandpa said to take good care of it, the keys are in the folder. Thats great. Su Wanwan was absolutely thrilled. She finally had her own little nest. Should she live in it? Or should she just sell it directly? Better sell it, then shell be a millionaire! Awesome! No need to look at someones face anymore. Sweetheart. Huo Jingshens voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan jumped, and then, Huo Jingshen said, Ziyang is upstairs, said he wants to see you. Ziyang is looking for me? Although she didnt know why the little one wanted to see her, Su Wanwan still gathered her stuff and rushed upstairs. When Su Wanwan left, Huo Jingshen picked up his lighter and went to the balcony. The spacious living room suddenly left only Qiao Zixin alone. She stood for a while, but finally couldnt resist, and also walked towards the balcony. Huo Jingshen was standing outside smoking, a cigarette butt dangling from his mouth, and a mobile phone in his hand. Qiao Zixin smelled the faint scent of tobacco on him. In addition to that, there was a strong sense of a mature mans aura. Very masculine, very vivid, filled with a strong smell of testosterone. As he took the cigarette from his thin, bony fingers, his black eyes slightly squinted, and beautiful smoke rings emerged from his thin lips, Qiao Zixin instantly thought of a word, dandy. A flutter began to sprout in her heart, and then kept growing. When she heard the vague sound of a woman and a child talking from upstairs, Qiao Zixin finally couldnt help it and suddenly walked over. Now was the time! Let Su Wanwan see her and Huo Jingshen embracing, right on the balcony of their home! Mr. Huo. As Huo Jingshen turned around, Qiao Zixin slipped. But the next second. Ah! She let out a scream. The palm of her right hand suddenly felt a sharp burning pain, as if she was scalded by something. Moreover, the warm hug she had expected did not come, she lunged forward into thin air, her knees hit the ground with a thud, causing a great commotion.. Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: 318, Wanwan: It’s not my dog! Chapter 318: 318, Wanwan: Its not my dog! Translator: 549690339 However, the anticipated warm embrace never came. She lunged forward into thin air instead, her knees hitting the ground with a bang that shook her to the core. The grueling pain from her knees brought tears to Qiao Zixins eyes before she could fully register what had happened Roar! The shrill, sustained screams intertwined with the barking of a dog filled the air, Ahhhhhhhhh Qiao Zixin had no idea where the black-haired wolfhound had sprung from, the agonizing pain in her ankle leading her to scream incessantly in pain. ** Half an hour later, Su Yunrong and her husband rushed to the hospital. The second they stepped into the corridor, they heard Qiao Zixins desperate screams, reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered. In the surgical ward, a doctor was treating her wounds. He was then forced to stop what he was doing, Miss, if you continue to scream like this, I wont be able to concentrate on treating your wound. Tears covered Qiao Zixins face, But it hurts, waah But this way, youre slowing down the process. The longer it takes, the longer your pain will last, the doctor said helplessly. Tears streamed down Qiao Zixins face. How did she get so unlucky? She was inexplicably bitten by a dog. On the way to the hospital, Huo Jingshen expressed concerns about possible infection and chose a nearby hospital. Somehow, that very hospital had just run out of anesthetic! Each time they disinfected and rinsed the wound, it felt like her flesh was being sliced with a knife! The pain was so intense that she wished she could amputate her own leg! Seeing her finally quiet down, the doctor resumed rinsing the wounduntil suddenly, the door was pushed open. Zixin! Dad, Mom. Upon seeing her parents, Qiao Zixin immediately burst into tears. She had lived for over twenty years, yet she had never experienced such excruciating pain! The couple hurried over. Taking one look at the wound, Su Yunrong was so scared that she almost fainted. The wound on the ankle was a bloody mess, strikingly grotesque against her white skin. What happened, Wanwan? Qiao Jianye asked. Su Wanwan replied, I just came downstairs and saw her being bitten by a dog. Im not exactly sure about the details. Noticing the worry on Su Yunrongs face, she kindly added, The doctor just said its a superficial wound. As long as the wound is treated properly, everything should be fine once she gets a rabies vaccine tomorrow Fine? Before she could finish, Su Yunrong interrupted her, Her injury looks this severe and youre calling it fine? Although their daughter was not particularly delicate, she had never suffered like this before! What if it injured the ligaments? Her foot could be ruined, damaging her quality of life forever! She turned around, sternly demanding, Zixin, tell Mom, what really happened? How could Qiao Zixin dare to admit that she was trying to throw herself at Huo Jingshen, tripped over his cigar, fell on the ground, and her scream attracted that black wolfhound She could only lower her head and mumble, I have no idea why that dog went crazy, it just suddenly rushed at me and bit my foot. For no reason at all, why would a dog suddenly bite someone? It was clear that Su Yunrong didnt believe this. Moreover, the owners were home. How could they let a guest be bitten like this? As Qiao Zixin cried, she pleaded, How should I know? Im really scared of dogs, its not like I would provoke it. Cousin? Su Wanwan suddenly intervened, Since when are you afraid of dogs? Qiao Zixin was taken aback. I remember when we were kids, you had a dog. You once let it loose and it chased me for a long time. It even bit me. Qiao Zixin turned white, not expecting Su Wanwan to remember this incident, Did did that happen? Dont you remember? Su Wanwan looked at her and chuckled, I see, since it was me who was bitten, not you, I guess its easy to forget. Qiao Zixin: She was speechless in her misery! Hearing this, Su Yunrong was furious. Wanwan, your cousin is seriously injured. Can you please stop making snide remarks? Its easy for you to comment while standing there, isnt it? Furthermore, didnt she just bite your back that time? It was winter, you were wearing many layers, the bite didnt even break the skin. Can you really compare that to your cousins situation now? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. Who was the one really standing here making thoughtless remarks? I should beaskingyou, why didnt you restrain such a dangerous dog? Su Yunrong asked again. Its not my dog! Su Wanwan felt inexplicably blamed, I usually dont dare to go near it, and I wasnt there when the incident happened. Why are you blaming me? Zixin was kind enough to deliver the property deed to you, but she ended up being bitten by your dog. Dont you feel responsible at all? Su Yunrong had always disliked her niece. Upon hearing Su Wanwan mention the childhood dog-biting incident again, she immediately concluded that it was done deliberately. Maybe she wanted to take revenge on Qiao Zixin on purpose! Enough, hasnt Wanwan said she didnt know about it? Qiao Jianye couldnt help but intervene. You shut up! After shouting at her husband, Su Yunrong turned to look at Su Wanwan again, Wanwan, your cousin might have been naive as a child, but it was just childs play and she has been scolded by dad. How can you hold a grudge like this? I hold a grudge? Su Wanwan couldnt help but laugh out loud, Aunt, if I was really vengeful, I wouldnt have let my husband bring her to the hospital just now. We could have just let her get infected and suffer! Enraged, Su Yunrong snapped, You ungrateful I apologise. A deep, cold masculine voice suddenly interrupted, cutting off Su Yunrongs accusation. However angry, seeing the handsome face of Huo Jingshen made her pause, suppressing her anger for now. Huo Jingshen stood at the door, holding a receipt between his slender bony fingers, I am to blame for this. I didnt know Wanwan was coming home today, so I brought KO home. After speaking, he walked over, his narrow and deep black eyes looked at Qiao Zixin, But KO usually never bites anyone, so I dont consciously leash it. Perhaps it was due to Miss Qiao wearing a red dress tonight, the color is quite bright. Upon hearing this, Su Yunrong immediately looked at her daughter. Only then did she notice that Qiao Zixin was dressed quite formally. A red close-fitting dress, with a high slit and low neckline design, easily revealing large areas of skin and a deep cleavage. Not to mention Qiao Zixin also had her hair done, a complete set of earrings, necklaces, bracelets However, due to the chaos just now, her originally delicate hairstyle was in disarray, and because she had cried too miserably, her eyeliner and eyelashes were all clumped together, her lipstick was patchy, tears streaked across her face, washing her foundation into rivulets Her face was a ghastly mess now. Su Yunrong suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Having taught at Nancheng University for many years, she was conservative and old-fashioned, and detested girls dressing in such a flashy fashion! She sternly scolded, Zixin, werent you at work today? Why are you dressed like this? Flustered, Qiao Zixin quickly explained, There was an outing in the company this afternoon. I went to find Wanwan as soon as it was over. I didnt have time to change my clothes. Su Yunrong reluctantly believed, Anyway, do not ever wear such clothes again! Its already this time of year, and youre still dressing like this! Arent you afraid of catching a cold? Miss Qiao seems to have other injuries. Huo Jingshen spoke up again to remind. Su Yunrong immediately checked her daughters body again, and then What happened to your hand? Su Yunrong looked at her suspiciously, and soon, she asked again, And your knees? Both knees had clearly visible bruises and swelling, and some areas even had broken skin. Qiao Zixin tasted bitterness and could only continue to explain, I fell when I was walking. Qiao Zixin! Su Yunrong suddenly grew quite angry, You are absolutely She was too embarrassed to utter the rest of the sentence. This daughter liked having boyfriends, and had dated all sorts of men. But Su Yunrong couldnt believe that she even had such an interest in playing kinky games! This burn, and the kneecap wounds Its too obvious! She was about to be pissed off! But with so many outsiders present, it was really embarrassing to say anything about it. You cant wash your dirty linen in public! How could Qiao Zixin know her mother would make such extravagant deductions? She looked at the clear scar in Qiao Zixins right palm. It seemed like something had burned her, and the wound was fresh. Qiao Zixin quickly pulled her hand back, II wasnt careful, maybeI got burned by something. Having just lied, and now with Huo Jingshen in the room, she was really guilty and didnt have the nerve to explain further. But her downcast and ashamed look, as if admitting guilt, made Su Yunrong feel even more certain about her suspicions. Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: 319, KO is simply a vicious dog! Chapter 319: 319, KO is simply a vicious dog! Translator: 549690339 But with this shameful and tacit acknowledgement, Su Yunrongs suspicions were further confirmed. She was furious and felt like all her years of upbringing went down the drain. Her heart was burning with rage; she was so angry it felt like she was about to lose her mind. Huo Jingshen knew when to stop. He chose the right moment to excuse himself, Since Miss Qiaos wounds have been treated, and its getting late, Wanwan and I will leave first. He was the current CEO of Huo Yuan Group, an awe-inspiring figure, who naturally radiated an air of pride and nobility. Yet, from the moment he entered the room until now, he remained humble and respectful, his gentle words and demeanor manifesting his modesty and groundedness. Qiao Jianye was uneasy. He faked a grin and accompanied them to the elevator, Mr. Huo, Wanwan, take your time and drive carefully. Su Wanwan nodded to him. Among her aunts family, her uncle was probably the only decent one. He had been a diligent public servant at the tax bureau for many years. He can be considered a good man. Inside the hospital room, the doctor left after giving a few attention points. Only the mother and daughter were left in the room. With no one else around, Su Yunrong could no longer restrain herself. She marched over, raised her hand, and delivered a resounding slap to Qiao Zixins face. Speak, what exactly happened to cause all these wounds on you! Qiao Zixin stared at her blankly, her face turning pale. * * On the other side. Back in the car, the first thing Su Wanwan said was: Liar! Huo Jingshen turned to look at her, his gaze aslant, What? You said KO doesnt bite! Look at what it did to my cousin. KOis nothing but a vicious dog! Huo Jingshen: Thinking of Qiao Zixins wounded ankle, Su Wanwan clicked her tongue repeatedly, couldnt help but glare at the man and insult him again, Liar! All men are liars! Huo Jingshen responded again with silence: Inside the luxurious dog house of the Imperial Court villa, KO, who was already trembling due to guilt, suddenly shivered even more violently. Raising its head, it saw a thin crescent moon in the sky. Oh my, the moon is going to eat the puppy! With a whoosh, KO quickly turned around and scurried back into its dog house. * When Huo Jingshen drove back to the Imperial Court, it was already past 10 pm. Fu Ziyang had already finished washing up and gone to bed. As for Su Wanwan, as soon as she entered the bedroom, she sat down in front of the coffee table with several stacks of study materials scattered around her, looking every bit the diligent student. I have to memorize these ten pages of words tonight! Dont disturb me! Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Do you want your husband to help you? How will you help? Su Wanwan looked skeptical. Huo Jingshen strolled over, leisurely took the dictionary from her hands. The next second. The mans face suddenly darkened, Whose book is this? Su Wanwans eyelids twitched and she quickly tried to snatch the book back. Huo Jingshen easily held her with one hand, while keeping the book held high in the other. Narrowing his eyes, he flipped open the book and looked at the three large characters on the title page. Jian Shuhao? His razor-sharp gaze turned into daggers, shooting at her, A mans belongings? Su Wanwan quickly explained, The class president lent it to me. Hes already passed the CET-Z, and 6.1 had just transferred schools, its just classmates helping each other. The class president? Huo Jingshen thought about the phone call a few days ago. That brat, huh. Yes, the actual class president. Also, he knows Im married. The last sentence finally soothed Huo Jingshens raging anger a bit, Keep in mind that you should never accept things from men. Remember your status as a married woman. His words caused Su Wanwans mouth to twitch uncontrollably. Did you memorize it? Huo Jingshen stressed the question. Are you annoying! Su Wanwan took the moment he was distracted to snatch the dictionary back, Nagging, youre more annoying than a teacher! Just as she sat back on the sofa. With a slam, Huo Jingshen placed his hand on the coffee table, Have you remembered what I said? Su Wanwan quickly agreed, Remembered, remembered, remembered! Really remembered? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly got up. Su Wanwan widened her eyes. Huh? Has this guy changed his ways? Did he let her off easily? Then, Huo Jingshen bent down, grabbed her with both hands, and the next moment, Su Wanwan was suddenly hoisted into the air. * * The next morning. Nancheng University cafeteria. Su Wanwan took a bite of rice, yawned, ate some vegetables, and yawned again. So sleepy. Really sleepy. Her eyelids were so heavy. It felt like she could hardly keep her eyes open Wanwan, why are you so sleepy? On the other side, Mo Weiyi stared at her with his gorgeous cat-like eyes, full of curiosity. Su Wanwan coughed a bit, Ive been busy studying recently, and I stayed up doing exercises last night. In fact, she had only slept for less than five hours last night, and then she ran to school early in the morning to attend four consecutive classes. At this moment, she wished she could find a bed to take a nap every second Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: 320, Wanwan: You can’t judge a book by its cover Chapter 320: 320, Wanwan: You cant judge a book by its cover Translator: 549690339 Really? Mo Weiyi clearly didnt believe it, his smile gradually turning into a smirk, Are you doing homework or something else? Doing! Homework! Su Wanwan replied between gritted teeth. But her voice was kept low. After all, they were at a cafeteria with other students around. She isnt as carefree as Mo Weiyi. Mo Weiyi also lowered his voice, but with a suggestive tone, Then you should start your homework earlier at night. Once youre done, you can go to bed. Su Wanwan: This dude is definitely doing this on purpose! Mo Weiyi chuckled, Lets go shopping after we eat, I want to buy a gift for Xiaobai. Buying him a gift again? Su Wanwan was amazed, Whats the occasion this time? Its notan occasion, its Xiaobais birthday, November 20. Mo Weiyi said confidently. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, But Im very tired. Sleep in the car later. Mo Weiyi started to act pitiful, If you dont come with me, Ill have to shop by myself. Its so boring, lonely, and solitary to shop alone, Baby Wanwan, will you come with me? Please. Su Wanwan: He knew she was soft-hearted, yet he always acted cute. Baby Wanwan, Baby Wanwan, please Baby Wanwan Alright, alright. Su Wanwan finally interrupted impatiently, Decidewhat to buy first, get in and get it quickly, dont waste too much of my time. OK! ** Having said that, as soon as they arrived at the shopping mall, Mo Weiyi started to have second thoughts. Wanwan, I originally wanted to buy glasses for Xiaobai, but I think he looks better without them. So what should I buy for him? Buy a Supreme Treasure skin. What? Nothing. She forgot that Mo Weiyi didnt play video games, and wouldnt know about the recently re-released Sun Wukong Journey to the West edition Supreme Treasure skin in Honor of Kings. I know, lets buy a fountain pen. Xiaobai has to sign documents every day at work. That way, hell think of me whenever he uses it. After the pleasant decision, they headed over to Nanchengs 998 Art District After picking out a fountain pen, Su Wanwan thought it was over, but Mo Weiyi pulled her into a stationery store. Xiaobais calligraphy is quite good, so lets buy him a set of the four treasures of the study. Su Wanwan: Although both of them didnt understand much about these things, once Mo Weiyi started selecting items in the store based on the shopkeepers introduction, Su Wanwan began to wander around. Then, she saw a picture hanging on the wall. The picture was of a peony, it was remarkably lifelike. The rich and exuberant colors seemed almost like they would seep out. The price was over a million dollars. Su Wanwan suddenly held the painting in high esteem. She stared at the signature on the painting. The name was written in seal script, and despite a careful examination, she couldnt decipher it, until Mo Weiyis voice came from beside her. Catching a toad to shit? What on earth could that mean? Su Wanwan burst into laughter. Mo Weiyi tilted his pretty face, Youre laughing at me, but can you tell me what these characters mean? Next to the traditional ink painting was a sheet of paper with seal script handwriting. At first glance, it really looked like what Mo Weiyi had said Abright future lies ahead, just forge ahead. A familiar female voice suddenly rang out. Seeing the visitors, Mo Weiyis cheeks turned scarlet, Grandpa Chu, Sister Jingyi. Old Master Chu looked at the two young girls with a twinkle in his eyes, This is seal script, its normal that you dont know it. Are you here to buy something? The old gentleman was wearing a black robe and a small felt hat, an embodiment of scholarly elegance. But on his left wrist was a luxury watch worth over a million dollars, emitting a dazzling sheen, almost blinding to the eyes. Mo Weiyi could hardly bear to look directly at the watch Chu Jingyi, who was following him, was dramatically alluring. The weather was cooling down, and she was wearing a dark purple woolen suit over a black mermaid skirt. Her makeup was exquisite, and her smile was captivating. I want to buy the four treasures of study for my husband. Mo Weiyi said, Ive been looking for half a day and I dont know what to buy. Really? Let me help you. Thats great. With the assistance of Grandpa Chu, she was sure to choose something good. The two people quickly went to make their selection, while Chu Jingyi started chatting with a smile, I never thought that young girls in their twenties like you would want to gift calligraphy supplies. Su Wanwan pursed her lips and didnt respond, instead looking at the painting on the wall again. Then she heard Chu Jingyi speaking again, Do you like this peony painting? How annoying, thought Su Wanwan. It was annoying enough to have bumped into Chu Jingyi in this store, and now she just wouldnt stop talking. Were they supposed to be friends or something? Su Wanwan deliberately displayed a cold demeanor, hoping Chu Jingyi would realize she just wasnt interested in having a conversation. But then. If you like it, Ill give it to you. Su Wanwan was immediately furious. She spun around, No need! If I want something, Ill buy it myself! Chu Jingyi maintained her aloof and leisurely smile, I copied this painting when I was twenty. I didnt expect it to become so valuable later on. But no matter how high the price is, its just a painting in my eyes. It should be appreciated by someone who understands its value. You seem to like it a lot, and you are Jingshens wife. Our families have known each other for generations, whats wrong with giving you a painting? Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: 321, accompany the little girl to set off fireworks by the moat Chapter 321: 321, accompany the little girl to set off fireworks by the moat Translator: 549690339 Su Wenwens originally tensed hands due to anger slowly loosened. She didnt expect that the author of this painting would be Chu Jingyi. With just a few words, Jingyi effortlessly won this round, leaving Wenwen defeated. Mrs. Huo? Su Wenwen snapped back to reality and spoke slowly, So the painting was done by Miss Chu, never judge a book by its cover. Chu Jingyi, as if she didnt catch the sarcasm in Wenwens words, replied, Just a way to make a living, actually, I dont really like it. Haha. Su Wenwen forced a smile. She spoke so lightly about selling paintings for millions, simply referring to it as a way to make a living. I heard from Aci before that Mrs. Huo is still a student. It turns out that you know Yiyi? Were you classmates? Chu Jingyi finished her sentence and chuckled, I would never have guessed that Jingshen would marry a girl like you. Su Wenwen felt that her remarks were quite unpleasant to hear. So. I didnt expect that my husband would have been betrothed to a woman like you. Chu Jingyi looked at her, a touch of surprise in her eyes. She replied, Thats just how elders are. The two families have always had a good relationship, so Jingshen and I, being of the same age, grew up together. Its a pity that later he went to the UK with his parents, and I went to Australia. Su Wenwen was uneasy but her face still wore a sweet smile, Is that so? That means you two were destined to meet but not be together. Chu Jingyi also nodded and smiled, Mrs. Huo, why do I feel that you seem to have a problem with me? Yeah, isnt it obvious that I have a problem with you? Su Wenwen continued to smile, Last time at your mansion, I already clearly warned you not to get too close to a married man, be careful of gossip. Haha. Chu Jingyi taunted, Men arent possessions. They have legs to walk and hearts to feel. Even if you want to control them, sometimes you just cant. If you think that you can control your man just by warning or scaring him, thats just too naive. So, Miss Chu is speaking from experience? Su Wanwan was not scared, I heard that Miss Chu is divorced, so I guess those words were based on your personal experience. Chu Jingyis face still wore a smile, but she couldnt control a twitch at those words. This girl is craftier than she looks. Every time they meet, she surprises her. The first time at her mansion, she was clumsy like a flustered kitten. The second time at the auction, she was sharp-tongued and relentless. But now, with no outsiders around, her claws are fully out! Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Su Wanwan spoke again, Miss Chu, being an educated woman, you should understand this. After saying this, she looked past Chu Jingyi, Are we ready? Yeah were done, weve bought everything! Mo Weiyis voice came over. Chu Jingyi had no choice but to slightly turn her body sideways, raising both arms to cross her chest. Mo Weiyi held a bag in her hand and joyfully said, Grandpa Chu helped me choose a set of fine stationery. Okay, now we can send you back to school to continue memorizing words. Because of the phrase memorizingwords, Su Wanwan gave her a glare. Doesnt she realize that shes in the middle of a battle with a romantic rival? How can she mention something as trivial as memorizingwords? Mo Weiyi looked innocent. Whats wrong? Why is Wanwan glaring at her? Shes so understanding Since were here, wont you accompany this old man for a while? Grandpa Chu laughed and invited. Before Su Wanwan could reply, Mo Weiyi immediately said, No, Wanwan needs to go back and memorize words. She has an exam soon, and she still hasnt passed CET-Z,. Is that so? Grandpa Chu chuckled even louder, Then exams are more important, I wont hold you back then, haha. Chu Jingyi on the side also couldnt help but smile. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, Mo Weiyi, youre talking as if youve passed CET-4, huh? Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-eyes, I havent passed, sowhat? Su Wanwan: Haha. After the two girls left, who were third-year students but still havent passed the CET-Z,, Grandpa Chu stroked his sparse white beard, and heaved a sigh, Look at other peoples children, got married at just twenty, and then look at your brother, thirty years old and still unwanted, sigh! Chu Jingyi: ** Huangyou Investments. Chu Xiuhuang sat in his office, suddenly sneezing several times in a row. Shi Huan, who was reporting work progress across the table, couldnt help but raise his right hand, but before it touched his nose What kind of reaction is that! Chu Xiuhuang slammed the table, Youre that afraid of catching my cold? Damn it, last night he took his fresh college girlfriend to release fireworks by the moat, and the girl was so excited that she shrieked and hollered by the moat for too long, causing him to catch a spectacular cold. Shi Huan immediately put his hand down, Master Chu, I sent the latest proposal for Bingo to your email this morning. Do you have any comments or suggestions? No comments, just do it the way you want. Alright, Master Chu. Shi Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, If theres nothing else, I Go get me some cold medicine. Chu Xiuhuang stood up, impatiently undoing his shirt buttons, Have the sheets been changed? Theyve all been changed to new ones. Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: 322, Chu Shao won’t take the medicine bought by others! Chapter 322: 322, Chu Shao wont take the medicine bought by others! Translator: 549690339 The eldest son of the Chu family has a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, necessitating the replacement of the sheets and bedding for every use, even those in the company lounge, regardless of his scant visits to the office in a week. Chu Xiuhuang nodded in approval, Im going to nap now. Bring me the medicine and dont let anyone disturb me. Okay. Shi Huan turned around and left, closing the door behind her. When she returned to the secretarys office, her assistant Xiaoliu immediately approached, What did Young Master Chu say, Sister Shi? Proceed as planned. Send the proposal to Bingo so they can forward all subsequent operational details. Ill go over it with Young Master Chu before four in the afternoon. Xiaozhou, press for progress on the meeting venue. Xiaowu, have you booked the room for dinner with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce leader tonight? Yes, its booked. At this point, Shi Huan had looked through the medicine box. She picked up her coat and said, Ill be right back.. Sister Shi, its quite windy outside today. Are you going out? One of the other assistants, Xiaozhou, asked. Young Master Chu has a cold, and weve run out of medicine. Im going to buy some. Why dont you order delivery and have the medicine sent to our door? Or I could go and buy it for you? Shi Huan smiled slightly, Unfortunately, Young Master Chu doesnt take medicine bought by others. Everyone: After Shi Huan hurriedly left, Xiaoliu said, Young Master Chu is too demanding on Secretary Shi, dont you think? Absolutely, he requires her to do everything herself. I once ordered lunch for Young Master Chu when Secretary Shi was in a meeting. After just one bite, he discarded the food and scolded both me and Secretary Shi. The same happened to me. I made coffee for Young Master Chu according to Secretary Shis method and instructions, yet he poured it out without taking a sip! And me too. Once Secretary Shi got a fever, I kindly offered to drive Young Master Chu home in place of her, but he told me to get out of the car, and drove home by himself! Isnt it strange that Young Master Chu always knew when things werent prepared by Secretary Shi? Xiaoliu frowned, and felt there was more to it. Young Master Chu must have a special ability! Ive heard that all powerful CEOs have some kind of superpower. Maybe our Young Master Chu is a genius, hes really something else Everyone rolled their eyes at him. ** Shi Huan went to her regular pharmacy. After she finished buying the medicine and was about to leave, she had a thought and went back in. On returning to the office, she took off her coat, walked into the CEOs office with bag in hand. The office was quiet. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, surely that man was taking a rest. Shi Huan picked up Chu Xiuhuangs exclusive water cup, and was bending over to fetch hot water when a menacing male voice came from behind her, What are you doing? Hiss! Shi Huan got a huge fright and scalding hot water spilled onto her hand. The pain was so intense that she almost dropped the water cup. Even though she has been Chu Xiuhuangs secretary for several years now, he could still so easily startle her sometimes. Shi Huan quickly changed hands to hold the cup and walked over. Chu Xiuhuang was standing behind his desk. Tall and lanky, thin yet muscular. His black shirt hung loosely on his body, only two or three buttons were buttoned, showing a large area of his sexy, well-toned chest. Holding a white medicine bottle between his beautiful fingers, he read word by word, Escitalopram Tablets, Sleep Medicine? Before Shi Huan could respond, his gaze grew cold, Do you think I need this stuff to fall asleep? Young Master Chu, youve misunderstood. Shi Huan put down the water cup, The cold medicine you need is packed below, this is mine. So saying, she took the medicine bottle back. Chu Xiuhuang huffed, Yours? Yes. What are you using it for? Cant you sleep at night? After Chu Xiuhuang asked, the corner of his mouth curled into a wicked, flirty smile. He looked at the woman who reached only up to his chest, dressed in a black suit and sporting black-framed glasses, conservative and prim like a virgin, Little Huanhuan, I suddenly remembered, youre almost twenty-five this year, arent you? Have you started thinking about men? Do you fantasize about men at night to the point that you cant fall asleep? Shi Huan just looked at him. Behind her thick glasses, her eyes were clear and bright, yet very calm, Young Master Chu, Ive been busy with company affairs lately and clients have been disturbing me with endless calls once I get home. My sleep quality is quite poor. If Young Master Chu could contribute a little more to the company, it would save me some energy as well and ensure I get a good nights sleep. The smile on Chu Xiuhuangs face gradually disappeared. Before he could react, Shi Huan continued to speak, Tonight, your grandfather has arranged a date for you with the young lady from the Lu Family at the Four Seasons Mansion. The time is set for seven oclock. Please dont be late again, Young Master Chu, otherwise, your grandfather will call to nag again. Dealing with him is very time, energy, and physically consuming, and it also affects my work, thereby affecting the companys performance. After saying that, she turned around, pulled open the door, and left. Chu Xiuhuang stood there, stunned for a few seconds, then. Damn, now even my secretary is pressuring me into marriage? Feeling grumpy, he no longer wanted to take his nap. He picked up his phone, Xiaosi, lets go drink at the upscale club. ** Shi Huan went to the pantry and opened the faucet. Cool water washed over her scalded left hand, gradually easing the burning sensation. Unfortunately, the relief didnt last long. Sister Shi, Sister Shi. Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: 323, My mom is a superstar Chapter 323: 323, My mom is a superstar Translator: 549690339 The sound of footsteps accompanied the familiar ringing of a mobile phone. Ms. Shi, your phone has been ringing nonstop. I brought it over in case it was something urgent. Shi Huan accepted the phone. Oh my god, Ms. Shi, what happened to your hand? Did you burn it? However, Shi Huan had no time to answer her assistants question as she quickly answered the phone. Teacher Zhou. Miss Shi, Shi Luoluo had a fight with a classmate. We need you to come to school as soon as possible. Im on my way. Shi Huan immediately turned around, rushed into the secretarys office, picked up her bag and coat, and rushed out again. * * Meanwhile, Su Wanwan had just returned to her college dorm. She barely had a chance to sit down when her phone rang. Seeing the incoming call, she answered immediately, Ziyang? Auntie, could you come to school? What happened? Fu Ziyang responded in a childish and innocent tone, Some things happened, and the teacher wants to speak with a parent. Bring in a parent? Su Wanwan asked, Is your Uncle Huo going to be there too? Auntie, for this matter, its best not to let Uncle Huo know yet. Fu Ziyang negotiated skillfully with her. Su Wanwan understood. Yeah, the little guy must have gotten into trouble at school and didnt want Huo Jingshen to know. Fu Ziyang was always sensible and obedient, but after all, he was only a five-year-old kid. It was quite normal for him to have some friendly fights and play with other children. She immediately said, Okay, 111 be there now. Dont worry, I wont tell your Uncle Huo. Thank you, Auntie. * * Shi Huan took the elevator to the underground parking lot. As she approached her car, she saw Chu Xiuhuang standing there with his phone in hand, as if about to make a call. When he saw her, he arrogantly humphed, Its about time you showed some sense. Come on, drive me to your place. Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Chu, I am not Youre not trying to deliberately piss me off, are you? Fine, I get it, hurry up and open the car door. Im freezing to death out here. Chu Xiuhuang rapped impatiently on the car window. He was already feeling unwell, and the underground parking lot was too gloomy. Shi Huan was worried about time and got in the car first. Chu Xiuhuang opened the rear door and sat in the back seat, acting like a boss. Once Shi Huan got in, he arrogantly said, Listen, dont get too big for your boots because I indulge you. Im your boss, and youre just a subordinate. You need to show the respect a sous ordinate should give to their boss! Shi Huan remained silent, quickly started the car, and drove off. The company is busy right now, but theres no choice. Big brother is a workaholic, and sister-in-law is always at school, so he can only make things difficult at work. But dont worry, Ill give you a raise. After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue and began to mutter to himself. Women should not be spoiled too much! But luckily, she knew to correct her mistakes. She was still his good secretary. Who knew, half an hour later, the good secretary had driven to the front of Wellington Primary School. Chu Xiuhuang was frowning when the car stopped. Mr. Chu, Im sorry. Something happened to my sister at school, and I need to deal with it. If you still want to go to the club for a drink, you can drive yourself. With that, Shi Huan got out of the car and left. Chu Xiuhuang sat in the car, stunned for a long time. Holy shit Thats too much! A secretary actually left her boss alone in the car? Thats unacceptable! Completely unacceptable! Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, his handsome face darkened, and then his phone rang. Hello? Im not going to drink anymore. On the other end of the line, the voice of Lu Chenyu was cold and brief. Whats the matter? Chu Xiuhuang was displeased. Lu Chenyu, Goodbye. And with that, the call was terminated. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang felt a surge of anger. Why was everyone opposing him today? Was Mercury in retrograde or something? The cold wind was whistling. Chu Xiuhuang sat in the car, reluctant to move. After waiting for about 10 minutes, he didnt see Shi Huan come out of the school. Never mind then. With resignation, he pushed open the cars door and quickly moved to the drivers seat. As he sat down, he saw a taxi parking upfront. At first glance Huh. The woman getting out of the taxi? His elder brothers little wife? * * Su Wanwan hurriedly ran to the school office only to hear a commotion inside. You must be Fu Ziyang, arent you! Where are your parents! Are they finally coming or not! Youre born, but theres no one to care about you, right! You little beast, you dare to glare at me! Su Wanwan, filled with indignation, immediately stormed into the room, Beast, who are you cursing at! The little dumpling standing in the corner immediately looked over. Su Wanwan came up to Fu Ziyang, bent down, and checked him from head to toe carefully. When she found that the little dumplings cute face had bruises on it, red and purple spots that looked like they had been scratched, and there was a small cut under his neck, blood seeping out Su Wanwan failed to control the anger boiling within her. The little guy was already pitiful enough studying alone in Nancheng without his parents around. And now, he had been beaten up like this? She stood up, her clear, black and white eyes focused on the middle-aged man with a big head and large ears, Why is he hurt? He hurt? The man was furious, My son was hospitalized because of him! Su Wanwan was startled. Uh My surname is Zhou, I am a teacher here, you are Fu Ziyangs parent, correct? The teacher by the side hastily asked. Su Wanwan nodded. Teacher Zhou immediately narrated the whole incident. During the end of class, Fu Ziyang and Wang Xiaobo of the same class had suddenly started fighting for some reason. Shi Luoluo, the class monitor, had been pushed while trying to mediate and had started crying on the spot. In the end, Wang Xiaobos nose was bleeding profusely, and he was immediately sent to the hospital. His father rushed over here, insisting on settling the score with Fu Ziyang. Teacher Zhou explained, Since Wang Xiaobo was heavily injured, I wanted Fu Ziyang to apologize to Mr. Wang. But he has been refusing to admit his mistake I did nothing wrong. Fu Ziyang said calmly. You see this attitude! Mr. Wang fumed, Refusing to accept responsibility after causing trouble, is that it? Til take responsibility for this matter. Su Wanwan promptly declared. -You? Mr. Wang looked at her dismissively, What can a young girl like you do? Su Wanwan tried to maintain her composure and explained, Mr. Wang, I know Ziyangs personality very well. If he really was in the wrong, I would definitely make him apologize and bear your sons medical expenses. But in cases where kids fight, it isnt only one sided. I believe She was interrupted by Mr. Wang before she could finish, I dont care! My son is still in the hospital, fighting for his life! The doctor said that the fractured nose will leave after-effects. You have ruined his face! If you cant provide a satisfactory response today, see you in court! At hearing this, Teacher Zhou became flustered. Wellington was the top elite school in Nancheng. The students studying here were little princes and princesses from high-profile families, and their parents held high positions. They couldnt afford to offend anyone. If a court case was truly made about students fighting, it would not only tarnish the schools external image but also directly affect her career. She pulled at Su Wanwan, attempting to persuade her, Madam Fu Im not Madam Fu, my last name is Su, Im Ziyangs I see. Mr. Wang interrupted her, No wonder this little beast is so untamed. Turns out hes illegitimate with no mothers education I have a mother! My mother is a famous star! Fu Ziyang, who had been calmly silent the entire time, suddenly interjected. Ziyang. Su Wanwan quickly placed a hand on his small shoulder, trying to prevent him from getting agitated. She looked at Mr. Wang and said, Im Ziyangs aunt. His parents cant come since they are overseas. Mr. Wang, you better watch your words. Lets focus on the matter at hand. Mr. Wang, however, scoffed, Ive heard from my son before that this little beasts parent-teacher meetings are always attended by his dad and stepmom. You must be the stepmom, right? After saying this, he looked Su Wanwan up and down, Young as you are, you can do so many things, yet you choose to be a stepmom? Young lady, you shouldnt be so vain. Su Wanwan found that she couldnt hold back any longer. Initially, she had thought that she needed to present a decent image in front of the children and the teacher and couldnt embarrass the child. But she hadnt expected to encounter such a rude and unreasonable man who kept calling Ziyang a little beast, clearly lacking any manners. She gritted her teeth, just about to say something Mr. Wang. A nonchalant male voice suddenly sounded. Mr. Wang turned back and noticed a man standing by the door, who he hadnt noticed before. in the cold autumn, with the wind blowing hard today, he was only wearing a black shirt and a coat, looking slender and upright.. Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: 324, The Love of a Five-Year-Old Baby Chapter 324: 324, The Love of a Five-Year-Old Baby Translator: 549690339 The deep autumn cold was chilling, today was particularly windy too, but he only wore a black shirt and jacket, slim and upright. The features of his face were subtly soft, producing a wicked smile on his thin lips, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, his expression arrogant, and his whole demeanor carried an air of frivolity and disdain for the world. It was Chu Xiuhuang. Mr. Chu? Mr. Wang was taken aback, rapidly putting on a smile as he approached, What brings you here? His attitude had taken a total 180 degrees turn from a moment ago. Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the mans thick outstretched hand but showed no intention of shaking it. His hands remained in his trouser pockets, adopting an air of superiority, he said, I came with Miss Su. Miss Su? Mr. Wangs expression changed abruptly once again. How did young Chu get acquainted with this brat? As for Su Wanwan, observing this situation, she was surprised to see Chu Xiuhuang here but chose to stay quiet. From Mr. Wangs distinctly transformed attitude earlier, it was clear that he knew Chu Xiuhuang, and a relationship of giving and receiving courtesies seemed to exist between them. Indeed. So this was the case, hehe, a trivial matter indeed, children do quarrel, we communicated a bit and everything is fine now. Mr. Wang nervously laughed. Oh? Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, his tone playful, But didnt I just hear Mr. Wang say fractured nose bridge, a destroyed look, and lifelong consequences? Mr. Wang panicked, hastily waving his hands, No no no, my son merely had a nose bleed. The doctor said the situation isnt serious. No court case then? Chu Xiuhuang smirked. In Mr. Wangs eyes, that smile was a tigers. He broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly denying, No no no, earlier I was just joking with Miss Su, yes, just joking. He didnt expect to run into Chu Xiuhuang here. In Nancheng, the one person who he could never afford to offend was Chu Xiuhuang. The eldest son of the Chu family has always been a troublesome character in Nancheng, not only is he rich and influential, but he also had a knack for being a troublemaker. It was said that for fights, he even retained a gang of professional fighters, and anyone who drew his attention stood to lose out in a big way. His childs condition was not grave at all, even if it was serious, hed have to swallow his words and make his peace with it. However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed intent on pursuing the matter to the end. My young nephew is always well-behaved. Since he insists he was not at fault, then let the facts speak for themselves. The young nephew? Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan felt an involuntary twitch at the corner of her eye. When did she become your nephew? And talking about it with such ease. Why dont you ascend to the heavens then? Then, Chu Xiuhuang looked at Teacher Zhou, Teacher, I request to see the surveillance video from the classroom. * * School Security Office, half an hour later. The security guard quickly pulled up and played the surveillance video. In the video, as all the kids were preparing to leave class, a chubby boy suddenly ran to Fu Ziyang, kept talking to him, and even reached out to push him. Fu Ziyang ignored him throughout until he was packing to leave. Suddenly, the chubby boy assaulted him from behind, pushing him to the floor. So, when Fu Ziyang got up, both kids started scrapping; in the meantime, a little girl tried to break up the fight, got pushed down, and burst into tears. Finally, teacher Zhou appeared The video playback stopped. Seeing the whole event, Su Wanwan and everyone else sighed with relief, Ziyang, weve all seen what happened now. Can you explain to Teacher Zhou now why you retaliated? She emphasized the word retaliated, which immediately made Teacher Zhou and Mr. Wang even more embarrassed. With his small chubby face, Fu Ziyang finally started to explain, Wang Xiaobo likes Shi Luoluo, but Shi Luoluo likes me. So he said he wanted to fight me to the death, whoever wins gets to be Shi Luoluos boyfriend. Mr. Wang: Teacher Zhou: Chu Xiuhuang: Su Wanwan was rendered speechless. After all these events, was it actually because two boys were vying for a single girl? Arent children nowadays too precocious? No wonder he didnt want her to tell Huo Jingshen, he was just shy. Su Wanwan spoke seriously, ()Mr. Wang, youve seen the surveillance footage, the facts are clear. Your son instigated and struck first, Ziyang was purely acting in self-defense. If you dont think the video displays enough evidence, I can go to the hospital with you now and hear what your son has to say. Or we can bring Luoluo here and let the children in the class share what they saw. I believe that good children wont lie. Theres no need. Mr. Wang said with a strained face, Everythings already been investigated and its indeed my fault. I acted impulsively out of anger and didnt find out the truth before blaming the child. I beg your forgiveness, Miss Su. Yes, yes, I was also wrong in this matter. Teacher Zhou chimed in with his apology, Actually, Fu Ziyang has always been an excellent student. Hes clever, well-behaved, does well in his studies, has a cheerful personality, and is well-liked by his classmates. Talking, he reached out to pat Fu Ziyangs little head. Who would have expected the little fellow to dodge it with an aloof head turn. Teacher Zhou couldnt have been more awkward. Seeing this, Su Wanwan continued to speak, Children are innocent. I dont want to hear anyone badmouthing Ziyangs parents again. His parents couldnt rush back from abroad, and us, his aunt and uncle, are too busy to spend a lot of time with him. Teacher Zhou, given your position, I hope you will guide the children in their actions and words to prevent rumors from hurting childrens self-esteem.. Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: 325, for every dirty word, slap yourself. Chapter 325: 325, for every dirty word, slap yourself. Translator: 549690339 | Su Wanwan watched and continued, Children are innocent, I dont want to hear anyone speaking ill of Ziyangs parents anymore. They are only overseas and cant be here, and we, as aunts and uncles, are too busy to spend much time with him. As a teacher, Mr. Zhou, you should guide childrens behavior and not let rumors harm their self-esteem. I understand, I understand, Mr. Zhou nodded enthusiastically. Chu Xiuhuang, standing on the side, couldnt help raising an eyebrow. He had thought his older brother had just married an ignorant young girl. He did not expect this young girl to be sensible and eloquent. Interesting. * * After they left the office, Mr. Wang kept apologizing. Chu Xiuhuang walked ahead, hands tucked in his pockets, not engaging in any conversation. Not until they were outside the school, and Su Wanwan was preparing to leave, did Chu Xiuhuangs voice slowly echo, Mr. Wang, just now you directed how many curses at Miss Su and my nephew. Do you remember? Mr. Wang was taken aback. So was Su Wanwan. For every curse word, slap yourself, Chu Xiuhuang said, his tone indifferent, as if discussing the weather. Mr. Wangs chubby face suddenly turned as red as a pig liver. What, you dont agree? Chu Xiuhuang fished a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he realized there were women and children present. He put down his lighter in annoyance, his expression and tone even more impatient. Huo Jingshen is my elder brother in terms of seniority, so I should call Miss Su my sister-in-law. You should be lucky, that its me here today. If it were my elder brother, well, the punishment would be far more severe than a slap. Only then did Mr. Wang realize the gravity of his mistake. Huo Jingshen. Heir to the Huo Family, the wealthiest family in Nancheng. Though not as flamboyant as Chu Xiuhuang, just hearing his name was enough to scare people But the Huo familys influence and status were obvious, who would dare to offend them? So Ill do it, Hl do it. Before Su Wanwans astonished eyes, Mr. Wang raised his hand and gave himself a stern slap. The sound is too small, Chu Xiuhuangs voice was lazy. Mr. Wangs face flushed alternatingly white and red as he raised his hand again, slapping himself harder this time. The sound was much louder than before. Then, he began to bow and apologize, Kid, I was wrong! Miss Su, I was wrong! Chu Xiuhuang squinted his beautiful eyes, Continue. Because this was outside the school, and it was time for school to be over, many parents were picking up their children and gathered around to watch the commotion. Under everyones watchful eyes, Mr. Wang slapped himself over and over again. Chu Xiuhuang didnt tell him to stop, and he didnt dare to stop. Su Wanwan lost count of how many times he slapped himself. His cheek became swollen, his mouth was torn and bleeding. She thought it was bad for the child to see such a violent scene. So she spoke up, Well, you can continue to enjoy watching him slap himself, Im going to take Ziyang home. Chu Xiuhuang finally spoke, Arent you leaving yet? Hearing this, like a death row inmate pardoned, Mr. Wang thanked Thank you Chu, I am leaving. Su Wanwan: How scared is this guy of Chu Xiuhuang? After Mr. Wang fled, Chu Xiuhuang turned to Fu Ziyang, Kid, do you want to learn a move from me? Su Wanwans heart skipped a beat. Didnt he just say he is his nephew? So now hes his brother? Fu Ziyang looked at him, What? Chu Xiuhuang flashed a sly smile, When I was a kid, I was as delicate as you, even looking a bit like a pretty little girl, so everyone bullied me. Until one time, an older student wanted to fight me, I grabbed hisnuts. Su Wanwan stared in shock. What What? What on earth is he talking about? Fu Ziyang didnt understand, What are nuts ? Chu Xiuhuang gave a charming smile, I clenched his little penis, didnt let go. In the end, the boy was sent to the hospital. Lucky they saved him, otherwise, he mightve been paralyzed. From that day forward, no one in school dared to bully me. Su Wanwan had already covered Fu Ziyangs ears, Ziyang, ignore him! God, just hearing him speak made her feel creepy. What kind of parenting method is this? This guy cant have a kid C who knows how badly hell corrupt them! Fu Ziyang, such an innocent child, cant be tainted by this man. Otherwise, when his parents come from the UK, shed be in big trouble Ive a date tonight, I should get going, Chu Xiuhuang checked the time, my elder brother will be here soon, I cant wait. Su Wanwan was stunned again, but before she could react, Chu Xiuhuang had left nonchalantly. This guy No wonder Mo Weiyi goes crazy every time he sees him. Such a bad guy! Annoyingly bad! So Su Wanwan had to say, Ziyang, if your Uncle Huo asks later, just tell him you fell accidentally. Fu Ziyang glanced at her, Are you sure? Such a clumsy lie, who would believe it? Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: 326, the little bun who is just starting to fall in love is too cute! Chapter 326: 326, the little bun who is just starting to fall in love is too cute! Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan explained, Your Uncle Huo is old-fashioned, he cant accept childrens early love. Im just trying to protect your first love, cant you see all the effort I put into it? Fu Ziyang again: Fu Ziyang! The voice of his first love suddenly sounded from behind. Fu Ziyang, who was initially speechless, immediately put on a serious expression. Su Wanwan turned around and saw Shi Luoluo running over. The little girl was wearing her school uniform, her hair tied up in two ponytails, bouncing around as she ran, she was simply too cute. Shi Huan was standing behind her. But he stood so far away, as if intending to hide from something, he didnt seem to have any intention to come over when he saw Su Wanwan. Fu Ziyang, are you okay? Shi Luoluo checked on her desk mate when she got close to him. Fu Ziyang answered coldly, Im fine, what about you? Shi Luoluo shook her little head, Im also fine. Despite her words, Su Wanwan could see that the little girls eyes and nose were red. She must have been crying hard earlier. After watching Chu Xiuhuang drive away, Shi Huan finally came over slowly. Mrs. Huo. Su Wanwan hurriedly asked, Is Luoluo okay? I just watched the video, it seemed like she took a tumble. Shes fine, she just got scared and cried. After saying that, Shi Huan took Shi Luoluos little hand, Luoluo, say goodbye to your classmate and sister. Shi Luoluo waved her little hand and politely bid farewell, Goodbye, sister. Goodbye, Ziyang. Fu Ziyang pursed his small lips, Goodbye. It wasnt until the two departing figures got into a taxi and left that Su Wanwans voice suddenly sounded, Stop looking, theyve already gone. Fu Ziyang withdrew his gaze indifferently. He didnt say a word. Su Wanwan asked nosily, So is Luoluo going to be your little girlfriend in the future? Fu Ziyang remained silent. Such a cold fish. Su Wanwan wanted to laugh, Ziyang, your ears are red. Fu Ziyang turned around, his small body standing tall and straight, Little auntie, its time to go home. Where are we going? Uncle Huo will pick us up in a bit. Fu Ziyang had no choice but to stop, Oh. Su Wanwan finally couldnt help but chuckle. My goodness, this burgeoning little dumpling is just too cute! If it wasnt for Fu Ziyangs bruised face right now, she would totally pinch his cheeks ** After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, the familiar black Mu Shang stopped by the side of the road. Su Wanwan brought the little one into the car. As expected, when Huo Jingshen saw the bruise on Fu Ziyangs face, his brows immediately knitted together, What happened? Fu Ziyang didnt speak. Su Wanwan had to say, Its nothing. He was playing with his friends and fell because he wasnt paying attention. Huo Jingshen immediately gave her a sidelong glance. Su Wanwan: Damn it, these two their sidelong glances are just the same! ** When they got home, Auntie Han treated the little ones facial wounds and put a plaster on his chin. After dinner, Fu Ziyang obediently went to do his homework, and Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask, Who is Ziyangs mother? What for? Since you and his father are good friends, and he trusts you to take care of his child, you should know who his mother is, right? Huo Jingshen looked at her in a cryptic way, his deep black eyes unblinking. Just as Su Wanwan thought he was going to reveal the truth When will you start caring about your husband like this? A flock of crows seemed to fly over Su Wanwans head, Can you not joke around? Im asking a serious question! Isnt caring about your husband a serious matter? Annoyed, Huo Jingshen reached out to pinch the young girls cheek. Hed originally only wanted to pinch her once as punishment. But the sensation was too good, he couldnt help but pinch her a few more times. Even increasing the strength of his grip, he teased, Im such a perfect husband, yet you dont take care of me, dont treasure me. Do you know how many women outside are envious and jealous of you? Huh? Su Wanwan was simply speechless, she slapped his hand away, Stop pinching, it hurts! That hurts? Huo Jingshen lowered his voice. Su Wanwan promptly picked up her chopsticks, Lets eat, can we stop talking? She knew she shouldnt have asked him about Ziyangs mother. One should always stick to the rule of silence is golden when having a meal with an old driver, as they might start driving wildly at any moment. Who knew Cough cough cough! Whats wrong? Huo Jingshens face changed slightly. Su Wanwans face was flushed, she coughed almost to the point of collapse, her tears almost falling out, she pointed to her throat and tried to speak, Theres a bone cough cough cough cough cough cough Luckily, the fishbone wasnt too big, Huo Jingshen had her drink some water and the bone washed down. Arent you stupid? Even eating a fish can lead to a bone getting stuck in your throat? When Su Wanwan was okay, Huo Jingshen immediately started lecturing again. Su Wanwan glared at him with red eyes, Isnt it your fault? This is my fault too? Huo Jingshen sounded innocent, That bone, I didnt put it in. Su Wanwan continued to glare at him, Its your fault, its your fault, its your fault! Huo Jingshen: Chapter 327 - Chapter 327: 327, Thick-skinned Manager Huo [Benefits] Chapter 327: 327, Thick-skinned Manager Huo [Benefits] Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan quickly stood up. Im going to do my homework. But the moment she reached the stairway, a large hand grabbed her from behind and began to ascend the stairs. Su Wanwan began to struggle wildly. I havent finished my homework yet! Let me go! Ahhh! Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped in his tracks and made his way back downstairs. Dont shout and scream, youre disturbing Ziyangs studies. You remember there are children in the house? Su Wanwan thought he had finally come to his senses, only to be taken by Huo Jingshen to the guest room downstairs. Damn it. As soon as they entered the room, Su Wanwan began to struggle desperately, I have to study! I have to study! I have to study! You lied to me and involved Ziyang in your deceit. Thats a serious offence, deserving punishment, dont you think? Huo Jingshen spoke. Uh Su Wanwan quickly explained, I lied to you out of necessity. Lets hear it then. Interest gleamed in Huo Jingshens eyes. Su Wanwan carried on with her serious explanation, Ziyang likes the little class leader in his class. Youre familiar with her: shes pretty and adorable, a perfect match for Ziyang. As hes shy, he didnt want to tell you. Now that you know, you cant break them up, understand? Huo Jingshens previously cheerful face suddenly turned dark. Do I look like the type to interfere in my childs love life? Su Wanwan responded immediately, Youre quite old and conservative. I was afraid you wouldnt accept their puppy love. So Im old and conservative? Huo Jingshen scoffed. What What are you going to do? God. He wouldnt dare to With a clang noise- Su Wanwans sleepiness was instantly banished by the fear. She found herself sitting in a study room with her school bag placed on the table. What are you doing? Isnt your English exam coming up? Get to your homework. Su Wanwan was instantly livid. Damn it, after all the excitement, youre dumping homework on me? Why didnt you let me do my work earlier? Im so tired, I could fall asleep Pushing the bag in frustration, she raised her head and snorted in defiance, Im not doing it! With a faint smile, Huo Jingshen spoke, You dont feel like doing your homework? Fine, we can do something else then. Su Wanwan: Left with no choice, Su Wanwan groped for a dictionary, exercise books, and a pen in her bag. Reluctantly, she started working on English problems. But She was so tired and sleepy that she could hardly lift her arms. As she looked at the English letters on the page, she couldnt suppress a yawn. Looking up again, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet, legs crossed, looking rather cheerful, as if he was watching A show? What inappropriate thing are you watching? Su Wanwan blurted out. Sliding his slender finger across the tablet, Huo Jingshen cast her an annoyed glance. Didnt old Mr. Xing gift you a property in Sanluo Garden? Im checking real estate prices in the surrounding area. Su Wenwen immediately widened her eyes, What for? Thats my house! The property deeds are under my name! Dont you dare appropriate it! Huo Jingshens face darkened instantly, Are you so money-minded? Appropriate that property? Would he need to? I still remember the time you swiped my red packet, challenged Su Wenwen. Dont think that because youre older than me, you can fool me around! Huo Jingshen couldnt help but laugh, I saved the money for you. When you begin earning, Ill return it to you, with interest included. With interest included? What does that mean? Investment. Understand? With darling eyes, nibbling on her pen, Su Wenwen replied, Seems like I somewhat understand.. Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: 328, you can pamper but not spoil Chapter 328: 328, you can pamper but not spoil Translator: 549690339 , Su Wenwen blinked and bit down on her pen, I think I understand a little. Isnt it just about financial management or stocks? My dear, youre still a student. Studying is your top priority. You wont lack anything you need to eat or use, so you should save as much as possible on unnecessary expenses. Im your husband and youre only twenty years old. I have to be responsible for your future. I can spoil you, but I cant dote on you too much. Otherwise, it will do you harm. The same goes for Ziyang. Even though he said these words righteously, Su Wanwan couldnt help but twitch her mouth and throw her pen, When did you ever spoil me? I havent felt it. Every single day, other than restricting her from doing this or that, the rest of the time was all spent doing those things! Spoiling her? Wasnt it just cooking for her, taking her to a movie, and buying her some clothes and jewelry? Huo Jingshen smirked mischievously, Didnt I just spoil you a moment ago? Have you forgotten already? Or should we review the chapter again? No, no need. Su Wenwen succumbed and quickly picked up her pen, I have to do my work now. Hmm, do a good job. SuWanwan: Something seemed off. Damn! Being influenced by this stinky man, she could no longer think of doing homework and reviewing these once innocent terms in the same light. Initially, she thought the presence of this living creature would make her feel distracted. Unexpectedly, when she put her whole heart in studying, doing her work, reciting vocabulary, making various sounds with her pen, while Huo Jingshen was quietly busy with his own things It was surprisingly harmonious. Moreover, this feeling of someone accompanying her while they were both striving towards their goals seemed not bad at all. In short, the two coexisted peacefully, each minding their own business, and time flew by. By the time Su Wenwen finished all her tasks for the day, it was nearly midnight. Thinking about having to wake up early for class the next morning, she immediately got up, Im done. Going to bed now. Let your husband check it. Huo Jingshen put down his tablet. Su Wanwan pouted, This is a Level 4 English paper; its all about rote learning. Whats there for you to check? Huo Jingshen had already walked over, his beautiful fingers holding the 2017 Level 4 English Real Question book, pretending to inspect it seriously while casually suggesting, Go upstairs and lie down first. Lie down? Su Wanwan was taken aback, her embarrassment turning into anger, You , shameless jerk! Its almost midnight. I have class tomorrow morning. Didnt we justDidnt we just do it? Cantyou control yourself a little? Huo Jingshen paused, his gaze shifting from the practice exam to her face, his expression and tone serious, I told you to go upstairs to lie down and sleep. What were you thinking? Is your mind filled with nothing but those kinds of things all day? For a young girl, arent you embarrassed? Cant you keep your thoughts clean? Su Wanwan: Damn it! * * The next morning. Since Su Wanwan had slept well the night before, she woke up early. To her surprise, someone was even earlier than her. Come have breakfast. Huo Jingshen stood by the dining table, his crisply ironed shirt and tailored trousers enhancing his graceful elegance. He was like a beast dressed in a businessmans cloak! Who could imagine his dirty ways in private? Good morning, Auntie. Hearing the childs voice, Su Wanwan coughed lightly and removed her gaze, Good morning, Ziyang. Looking over. Wow! Hot dumplings, golden scallion bread, savory grilled sausages and eggs, cucumbers on the side, tangy radish threads, and nutty spinach Its so rich. Su Wanwan immediately looked at him, Why did you make so much breakfast? Even for three people, it seemed impossible to finish. Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, You and Ziyang worked hard on your homework last night, so I thought I should replenish your energy. Fu Ziyang was happily eating, while Su Wanwan picked up a cucumber with her chopsticks and took a big bite. Hmph! Dont think that I didnt catch your insinuation. * * After breakfast, surprisingly, Huo Jingshen, who seemed to be in a good mood, personally drove them to school. First, he took Fu Ziyang to primary school. When they got to the school gate and parked the car, he began to give his lecture, Ziyang, you must behave well in school, listen to the teacher, try to avoid unpleasantness with other children. Youre still young. You shouldnt be having any unnecessary thoughts Stop! Su Wanwan quickly interjected. Huo Jingshen: Ziyang, do you see Luoluo over there? Su Wanwan suddenly pointed ahead. Fu Ziyang looked up. It was indeed her. Shi Luoluo was getting out of a little red car, waved her hand, and walked towards the school campus. Fu Ziyang immediately pushed open the car door, Goodbye Uncle Huo, goodbye Auntie. Huo Jingshen: The little boy didnt even look back. Huo Jingshen glared at his handsome, dark face. Hurry up and drive. Im going to be late. Su Wanwan reminded. Huo Jingshen had no choice but to start the car again. All the way to school, Su Wanwan took out her dictionary again to cram. During the red light waiting time, Huo Jingshen glanced at it. It was the dictionary given to her by that young boy named Jian Shuhao. Just before they reached the school, Huo Jingshen asked in a low voice, When is your exam? On the fifteenth of next month. Huo Jingshen Hmmed, Im going on a business trip this afternoon. Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: 329, Manager Huo needs to go on a business trip. Chapter 329: 329, Manager Huo needs to go on a business trip. Translator: 549690339 Huo Jingshen grunted in affirmation. Hubby is going on a business trip this afternoon. Oh. Su Wanwan responded indifferently, then it hit her. She spun around suddenly, raising her voice in surprise, Youre going on a business trip? Yes. To where? What for? How many days? A series of questions tumbled out of her mouth in rapid succession. Huo Jingshen glanced sidelong at her. You dont want hubby to go? Not at all! Su Wanwan denied immediately. I was justasking! Cant I just ask? You can. Huo Jingshen curved his thin lips into a smile that wasnt quite a smile. Going to the United Kingdom to take care of some business. Ill be back when its done. So, how many days exactly? Su Wanwan couldnt help herself again. Cough cough. Not sure. What do you mean not sure? What does that mean? Huo Jingshen stopped the car near the school gate and looked at her, Stop playing coy. If you dont want hubby to go, just say it. Whats with all the beating around the bush? I wont laugh at you. Su Wanwan: Who the hell is being coy? Huo Jingshen spoke again, If you miss hubby, call me on video. Now, be good and go to class. Su Wanwan pursed her lips, but eventually managed to say, Well be careful out there. Hmm, I will. Looking at the girls slightly shy expression, Huo Jingshen spoke softly, While hubby isnt at home these days, baby has to study hard. Dont go flirting with others at school, got it? Flirting with others? Su Wanwan snorted twice, Who do you think I am, you? What about hubby? Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, Hubby is a model of virtue and morality. As a wife, you should also be loyal. Loyal? Su Wenwen snorted twice and didnt bother to respond. Alright, get off the car. Su Wenwen responded with an Uh-huh, turned around to get out of the car, and found the car door wide open. Damn it! Why didnt you tell me the door was open? She cried out in indignation. There was a hint of laughter in Huo Jingshens voice, Why should we close the door? Unless baby, you planning on doing something naughty? Su Wanwan chose to get out of the car directly. Im so mad! Stinky man! He must have done it on purpose! Deliberately not telling her that the car door was open and then getting all touchy-feely with her! Su Wanwan slammed the car door shut without mercy. And the black Mu Shang slowly drove away. Su Wanwan stood there, slightly miffed, but as she watched the car gradually disappear into the flow of traffic until she couldnt see it anymore Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surged within her. It felt empty, as if something had been dug out of her, leaving her hollow and unsettled. She had never felt this way before. Not long ago, she still found him annoying, boring, stubborn And he always loved teasing her inappropriately. But the thought of him really going away on a business trip, not being able to see him for several days, and not knowing when hed return It would also be the first time hes away on business in the past few months since they got together. No wonder he made such a huge breakfast this morning, personally drove Ziyang and her to school, and inexplicably told Ziyang to study hard at school Damn! Su Wanwan fiercely pinched her own arm. Su Wanwan, have you lost your mind? Have you become so submissive after being enslaved for so long? When hes not at home, your life is so much easier. Not only can you drive your small red car to school, but you can also peacefully study and prepare for exams! Right! Su Wanwan reminded herself, looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and her mood was great! She curved her lips into a smile, happily walking towards the school. Not too far behind her, in a tea restaurant, two sophisticated urban women were sitting by the window. They have been observing the scene outside all the while. When Su Wanwan left Jingyi, Jingyi. Her friend and manager, Qin Feng, tapped the table. Did you see? The modern female college students, wow, they are really something! They attach themselves to rich men so boldly, exhibiting a hot and wet kiss in a car on a main road for such a long time, even leaving the car door open, intentionally performing for the public. Its shocking. Chu Jingyi fixed her eyes on Su Wenwens retreating figure without saying a word. Just now, even though she couldnt see the face of the man driving the car, but seeing Su Wanwan and that black Mus sang, she knew it was Huo Jingshen in the car. He actually played a public display of affection with Su Wanwan, leaving the car door wide open on a major road in front of the school? She was completely taken aback by this mans display of recklessness that contradicted his usually low-key and steady persona. That man is also something. So desperate, and in front of the schools entrance too, isnt he afraid of setting a bad example? He really has no manners! Chu Jingyi: So lecherous, he must be an old lecher! Chu Jingyi again: Dont you believe me? Qin Feng became more excited as she continued, Take that car for instance, the latest model from Bentley, worth at least ten million yuan, who can afford that? And that girl is a college student, barely in her teens or early twenties, young and beautiful with a great figure.. If shes not a gold-digger, do you think its true love? Most likely, shes spending some old geezers money! Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: 330, is CEO Huo being criticized as an old geezer? Chapter 330: 330, is CEO Huo being criticized as an old geezer? Translator: 549690339 You dont believe me? Qin Feng got spirited, Just take that car for example, the latest Bentley model, thats at least ten million. Whos able to afford that? Besides, the girls a college student, probably around her early twenties, young and beautiful with a good figure. Isnt she obviously looking for a wealthy man? Shes more than likely with some old geezer! Really? Chu Jingyi replied with indifferent interest. If shes not a golddigger, then shes one of those rich second generations. Tsk tsk tsk, such a flashy rich kid, doesnt she know that lovey-dovey couples who always show off tend to break up fast? The more you lack something, the more you flaunt it! Vulgar! Qin Feng continued with her relentless scorn. Show-off? Chu Jingyi felt anyone could be a show-off. But not Huo Jingshen. From a young age, Huo Jingshen had always been modest and composed. Despite his young age, he was often praised as an old soul by his elders. Later, as he went to school, grew up, and studied abroad Huo Jingshens personality became more and more inscrutable. If only he could have shown off a bit more before this. Jingyi. Sang Feng handed over an invitation, This lecture invitation from Nancheng University. Maybe you should consider it? Chu Jingyis lips curved into a smile, No need to consider, I agree. Sang Feng was overjoyed, You agreed? Just a few minutes ago, Chu Jingyi seemed to have no interest in it. In fact, she had just returned to China and many universities had invited her to give lectures. She had refused a countless number of them and Sang Feng had not expected her to accept this one. After all, the chancellor is my mothers cousin. Chu Jingyi gave a reason. Sang Feng quickly nodded in agreement, Yeah yeah, were all family. Besides, participating in such events is good for your public image and useful for our upcoming exhibition tour. So shall we schedule the lecture according to their timeline? Sure. The usually proud and indulgent lady of the Chu family, who was known for throwing tantrums, cooperated so perfectly this time. It was both a surprise and a delight for Sang Feng, her manager. Not having time to think more, she immediately picked up her phone to arrange the lecture. As for Chu Jingyi. She sat there, her fingers stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes lowered, lips curved in a smile, lost in her thoughts. ** After her class was over, Su Wanwan met Mo Weiyi at the cafeteria entrance as usual. Getting there, she saw a girl standing next to Mo Weiyi, talking about something. Weiyi. Hearing the voice, both girls looked over. When she saw Su Wanwan, the girl seemed to be momentarily surprised. Wanwan. Mo Weiyi affectionately put her arm around Su Wanwans, Lets go eat upstairs today, okay? Okay. Were going to eat first. Mo Weiyi said to the girl, Ill mention your matter to Zhong Kai later. Thank you, Miss Mo, thank you. The girl continuously thanked her. Even after they left, she stood there for a while without moving. In the small cafeteria upstairs. Curious, Su Wanwan asked, Who was that girl? What did she want from you? Every year, the Mo Family sponsors a few poor students. Her name is Bai Ruwei, she wanted to apply for this years sponsor but she missed the deadline, so she came to talk to me. Oh. Su Wanwan didnt recognize the name, nodding absently without giving it a further thought. After lunch, Mo Weiyi went to her class, and Su Wanwan found a classroom to study in. Just after she sat down, someone came over. The person didnt speak but just stood there. It was a bit creepy. Su Wanwan hurriedly looked up to see Bai Ruwei standing there. Do you need anything? Su Wanwan felt her behavior was a bit weird. Bai Ruwei wrung her hands and blinked several times. After stuttering for a moment, she finally spoke. Miss. The word Miss made Su Wanwan jump. What the hell? Thankfully, there were only a few people in the classroom, and she was sitting at the farthest seat in the back. No one noticed what was happening at the back. Miss, dont you remember me? Bai Ruwei looked at her nervously, Im Xiaowei, I helped at your house, the Su family, during the summer. Su Wanwan finally remembered, So youre Xiaowei? Yes. Bai Ruwei nodded and quickly started to explain, Miss, I really was framed. I didnt put the needle in the dress, and I certainly didnt want to hurt you. Your younger sister told me that you had forgotten to take your dress and specifically asked me to deliver it to the Huo family. The next day, she made sure I went to the banquet hall. Miss, your younger sister planned all of this, I really didnt do anything, I was framed I believe you. Su Wanwan hurriedly cut her off. Bai Ruwei was surprised, You believe me? Do you really believe me? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes. This Bai Ruwei, why is she so melodramatic? Miss, everything I said is true Here we go again. Su Wanwan had to say, I really trust you, dont call me Miss anymore. Miss, you are such a good person. Su Wanwan coughed a few times, feeling a bit awkward, I told you not to call me Miss, just call me Wanwan. Really? Miss, you are such a saint. Su Wanwan: Mommy, can anyone save her? Chapter 331 - Chapter 331: 331, CEO Xiao, the princess just called. Chapter 331: 331, CEO Xiao, the princess just called. Translator: 549690339 Tm busy working to earn money every day, so I spend little time at school. Today, I came to find Miss Mo for matters regarding financial aid, and I found out that the young miss is also studying here, so I immediately came to find you. Su Wanwan asked, What major are you studying? Im studying International Finance and Trade. Once I get the diploma, I can go out and earn money. My family is in a difficult situation, my parents are not doing well, my younger brother still needs to study, and my tuition is too expensive. I initially planned to earn my next years tuition fees by working during the summer holidays, but I didnt expect that such incident would happen. The incident she was referring to was being slapped by Su Yanyan and fired at the wedding. Su Wanwan couldnt help but sigh when she learnt about this. Looking at Bai Ruwei, she was dressed modestly and did not wear any makeup, she hadnt even groomed her eyebrows. Her eyes were not big, but she had clear double eyelids, a pair of cherry lips and fair skin. She looked somewhat pitiful and could be considered a beautiful and refined woman. Wanwan, Bai Ruwei had changed the way she addressed her, Can I have your contact information? Of course. Su Wanwan provided her with her phone number. In this age of smart phones, Bai Ruwei surprisingly used an old Nokia model. After noting down the number, she smiled, I have to go to a supermarket to work this afternoon, I wont disturb your studies. Alright. It was obvious that Bai Ruweis family situation was really bad. So, after Mo Weiyi finished his class, Su Wanwan told him about this. So, she was that maid from before. Mo Weiyi clicked his tongue, She didnt mention this to me. Really? Su Wanwan remembered Mo Weiyi was present back then, so Bai Ruwei didnt use that incident to gain sympathy? TOO pitiful. Mo Weiyi sighed, I also bear some responsibility for this. She was hit so severely and then dismissed, therefore she couldnt afford the tuition. After leaving the school, as soon as they boarded the car, Mo Weiyi called Zhong Kai. Princess, I got it. Dont worry, Ill take care of this matter. Zhong Kai made reassurances. Mo Weiyi said, Im not ordering you to give her aid, Im just telling you the situation. You handle it as you see fit. If it is verified that her family is indeed facing difficulties, then add her name to the list of people receiving aid. We are aiding so many people every year anyway, one more wont hurt. Got it, princess. ** Mo Group. After hanging up the phone, Zhong Kai immediately stood up, straightened his tie, checked his reflection in the mirror, left the secretarys office, and knocked on the door of the CEOs office. Come in. As soon as he heard the cold and aloof voice of CEO Xiao, Zhong Kai couldnt help but feel nervous. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open, CEO Xiao. Is the follow-up report on the Haicheng development case ready? Xiao Yebai was sitting behind his desk, his handsome features were emotionless behind his glasses, and his black shirt made him appear serious and austere. I will send it to your email before I leave work. Zhong Kai was burnt out with tension. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelids, Since its not ready, why did you come to find me? Zhong Kai hastily smiled, CEO Xiao, Princess just called. Hm? Zhong Kai continued, Princess said that one of her classmates is facing financial difficulties and cant afford the tuition fee. She wants to include her in the list of students receiving aid this year. Xiao Yebai paused, then lifted his eyes again. He looked coldly at Zhong Kai. Princess is really a kind and good girl. Zhong Kai praised her, seemingly trembling with fear, Last time, it was your sisters friend who was in trouble. This time, its her classmate. Princess is truly keen to help others, she is really He couldnt finish the last part of his sentence under the mans cold gaze. Then. During work hours, you came in just to flatter Princess in front of me? Xiaos tone was light, but his eyes were sharp like icy blades. The sight scared Zhong Kai so much that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. CEO Xiao, thats not what I meant. I just wanted to Go back and do your work. Yes! Zhong Kai turned and left without looking back. Oh god. His attempt to suck up had backfired. As soon as the door closed, Xiao Yebai sat there, focusing on the report on the screen. Apart from his fingers occasionally operating the mouse, he was as quiet as a finely sculpted statue. Until the phone on his desk rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his black pupils shrank slightly, and then he picked up the phone, Dad. How do you plan to deal with the Li familys issue? asked Mo Yaoxiong. Sorry, I will handle it as soon as possible. That woman has been causing a ruckus at the Mo family for several days now, Your father is very angry. She is currently shouting outside the gate, Ive had the bodyguards take her away. I know. For such nouveau riche families, if it can be solved with money, then solve it as soon as possible. Xiao Yebais thin lips lifted up in a slight smile, Im afraid their appetite may be too big. Otherwise, for such a trivial matter with a woman, Mo Yaoxiong would have solved it with money long ago, why would he hint at it over the phone? The line was quiet for a moment, then Mo Yaoxiong said, Your father is old and not in good health. Ever since you took over the company, you know that most of your fathers old subordinates have been cleared out. The old man doesnt want to be involved in these matters from the past. In short, take care of it as soon as possible, if it gets too big, it will not be good for the Mo family. Understood.. Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: 332, wherever Xiaobai goes, I will go. Chapter 332: 332, wherever Xiaobai goes, I will go. Translator: 549690339 | As soon as Qu Yunyao arrived at the entrance of the Mo familys old house, she saw people making a fuss. After some thought, she immediately said, Stop the car. The car was driven by the Mo familys driver. He looked at the situation ahead, feeling uneasy, Miss Qu, it might not be the best to get out of the car I told you to stop! Qu Yunyao interrupted impatiently. With no other option, the driver pulled over to the side of the road. Qu Yunyao got out of the car and from afar, she could hear a woman crying and shouting, The Mo family lords it over us! My poor daughter, only twenty years old and a university student, was sent to jail, it has ruined her whole life! You all tell me, is there no justice left in the world, are decent people only meant to be bulliedwoohoo Think positive, even a powerful dragon cant bully a local snake. We ordinary folks cant beat the wealthy. Yeah, you just have to endure it. The Mo familys old house was large and there were no residential areas nearby. These so-called spectators were clearly called in by someone to make a scene. Among them were several robust men, all with fierce faces, greedy eyes, and tattoos on their necks and backs of their hands. Qu Yunyao quickly assessed the situation and immediately pulled out her phone to call Mo Yaoxiong. Upon hearing that these people were still making a scene at the gate, Mo Yaoxiong said, Ignore them, ask the driver to drive straight in. But they are blocking the entrance. These bodyguards are useless, wait there, Ill be there soon. After hanging up the call, Qu Yunyao calculated her timing before approaching, Stop making a scene. Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Yulan immediately looked over, Who are you? Qu Yunyao replied, Im a relative of the Mo family, I live here. Recently, every time I come home, I see you making a ruckus. Have you no decent manners? A relative of the Mo family? Zhou Yulan sneered, Then youre all in cahoots. What are you trying to do? I tell you, dont think you can silence me with a little money. This matter isnt over until I get an explanation! Ill keep causing a scene here every day! I have all the time in the world! Ill call the media over tomorrow, lets see what you have to say then! Is your ranting going to help at all? Qu Yunyao mocked, My cousin is the princess of the Mo family, their cherished daughter, they will do anything to give her what she wants! If she wants someone dead, that person wont survive till sunrise! Its your daughters bad luck for offending my cousin. She got off lightly by just going to jail! Youd better save your energy. You threaten to call in the media? Be careful, or you all could end up imprisoned too!. Zhou Yulan, enraged, rose to her feet from the ground, My daughter was clearly framed! What do you know! I warn you, dont blame us if were not going to be nice if you dare to spew nonsense!. Qu Yunyao, all the while keeping an eye on the entrance, saw shadows approaching and quickly said, I heard from my uncle that it was because your daughter stole my cousins ring, and the police have already made the ruling. It is impossible to overturn, unless you kidnap my cousin to blackmail the Mo family. If you keep causing a fuss like this, you will be the ones sent to jail!. Zhou Yulan looked at her, her eyes gradually changing, What do you mean by this Qu Yunyao suddenly pushed her, Your daughter has done such shameful deeds. Its only fair that she goes to jail. Are you thinking of hitting someone?. Caught off guard, Zhou Yulan fell to the ground. Qu Yunyao kicked her a few times, then turned and left. Naturally, Zhou Yulan wasnt going to let that slide and immediately got up to grab her, Stop right there, you little brat! Others nearby hurried over to help. In the ensuing chaos, someone slapped Qu Yunyao in the face. Qu Yunyao immediately screamed, Ah! Just then, Mo Yaoxiong rushed over, What are you doing! Guards, get these troublemakers away from here now!. A group of bodyguards ran over and pulled away Zhou Yulan and the other spectators. Yunyao, are you okay? Qu Yunyao dropped her hand from her face, allowing Mo Yaoxiong to see the bright red handprint on her cheek. Why didnt you dodge? Mo Yaoxiong frowned. Qu Yunyao shook her head, her eyes welled up with tears. She was cursing Yiyi. I couldnt hold back and retorted, but I didnt expect Shes just a shrew, why bother arguing with her? Her words were too harsh, I couldnt take it. Alright, lets go back. Let the servant take care of it, otherwise itll swell even more tomorrow. Okay. Qu Yunyao covered her face again, By the way Uncle, when is Yiyi coming for dinner? I bought a gift for her. Yebai is coming over later, I will ask her to bring Yiyi. You are such a child, even in this state, you still think of your cousin. Qu Yunyao giggled shyly, I felt bad because I broke the gift that I had intended for her last time. ** As expected. Upon returning to the main house, and while the servant was applying a cold compress to her face, Mo Yaoxiong returned and called his daughter. Weiyi, come back to the old house for dinner tonight. Mo Weiyi directly refused, Im not coming. Would you please stop being childish? I wont go, I dont want to see Qu Yunyao. Mo Yaoxiong glanced at Qu Yunyao and walked out to the balcony.. Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: 333, Little Princess hiding on the balcony? Chapter 333: 333, Little Princess hiding on the balcony? Translator: 549690339 Qu Yunyao quickly leaned in to listen. Yunyao is your cousin. She even got slapped by that shrew for you just now. Mo Weiyi was surprised, For me? Why does she not believe it? Yes. Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Dad knows you dont like her, but she hasnt done anything bad. The incident last time was probably a misunderstanding. You guys are cousins and they live here; even if you dont like her, dont disrupt the peace of the family, okay? After saying this, he gave his orders decisively, Get the driver to take you there immediately, and Yebai will be there later. She didnt really want to go, but upon hearing that Xiao Yebai was also going to be there, Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, Okay then, wherever Xiaobai goes, Ill go. Mo Yaoxiong: * * Seven oclock in the evening. Autumn winds were depressing and chilly. Mo Weiyi truly didnt want to return to the old mansion. She wasnt sure if it was due to the wind from the car windows on the drive back in the afternoon, but she felt a bit chilled. She was still lying in bed when she received the call, and the idea of making the long trip to the old mansion to see people she didnt like, and having to express gratitude for their gifts against her will, was daunting. However, all considerations were defeated by the phrase Mo Yaoxiong said Xiao Yebai was also coming over in the evening. * * Upon entering the guest room of the main hall, Mo Weiyi glanced at the mother and daughter sitting on the couch, changed her slippers, and walked gracefully towards them. Taking off her overcoat, she was wearing a high-necked, fitted orange sweater, and white skinny jeans underneath. Quite warm. Usually, she didnt really dress like this, sticking to elegant and feminine dresses that were loose and comfortable. But upon seeing her now, her slender body shape was fully revealed, graceful and elegant, honey-colored curly hair draping softly over her shoulders, her small exquisite face lightly made up, presenting a beautiful and refined appearance, exuding an unexpected aura of elegance. Sister Yiyi. Qu Yunyao hurried to rise, taking up the prepared gift box, Youre back, this is my gift for you. Mo Weiyi walked over, her bright cat eyes lightly lifted, Its not some fragile thing again, is it? Qu Yunyaos face showed some embarrassment, as she quickly said, No, not at all, I took great care to choose a gift that wouldnt be hard to take care of. I know that sister Yiyi doesnt lack for much, so I chose a painted portrait of a young girl. I hope youll like it. Mo Weiyi smiled, Thank you. In her mind, she muttered, why would anyone send a painting? Such a pretentious gift. Qu Yunyao carefully handed the gift box to her. Mo Weiyi glanced at it, then carelessly placed it behind her on the back of the sofa. Yiyi, youre here, said the old master Mo and Mo Yaoxiong as they walked in. Grandfather, dad. Mo Weiyi glanced behind them, Has Xiaobai arrived yet? Yebai said he has to work late. The old master Mo then said, Are you hungry? If you are, lets start the meal. Not hungry, well wait for Xiaobai to arrive and eat together. After saying that, Mo Weiyi took out her phone and started to play with it by herself. Qu Yunyao sat back down and asked, Mom, how was todays re-examination? Theres still no improvement. Will it affect your ability to play the violin in the future? Uh Xu Jing seemed hesitant to speak. Mo Weiyi kept her eyes on her phone the whole time, not reacting to the conversation. It was indeed Mo Yaoxiong who asked, What did the doctor say? Xu Jing had no choice but to answer, The doctor said it might have a little impact. Seemingly afraid that he would feel guilty, she quickly added, Doctors always exaggerate their diagnoses. He probably just used that as a scare tactic so that Ill cooperate with the follow-ups. Mo Yaoxiong let out a sigh, For now, just do as the doctor says and rest at home, go to the hospital for regular follow-ups, and let Shi Bo know if theres anything you need. I will, thank you, brother-in-law. Xu Jing answered with a gentle smile. It looks like its going to rain, I really want to live next door to you, lift my head, and count the dark clouds A sudden burst of noisy music came from Mo Weiyis phone. The volume was at its maximum, startling everyone in the living room. Mo Weiyi smiled as she rose, I have to take a call. On the balcony, Mo Weiyi switched off the music from her phone. Taking a few breaths of the fresh, chilly air, she started feeling a bit more comfortable. The high-necked sweater made her throat feel slightly uncomfortable.. Perhaps because she was too warmly dressed, she felt unbearably suffocated in the room. She stood behind the railings, listened to the faint laughter coming from the living room, her beautiful cat eyes eagerly looking towards the main road beside them. It was pitch-black, apart from the scattering lamplights, there was nothing else. Time slowly passed. After what felt like forever, a set of car lights finally approached from the distance. Mo Weiyi immediately smiled and picked up the phone, dialing the number. The call was quickly answered, and a deep, chilly male voice came through, Weiyi. Xiaobai, I see you from the balcony. Could you come over here? What do you mean? Mo Weiyi said, Come to the balcony in the living room. Okay. The call was then hung up. Mo Weiyi continued to stand there waiting, until a car stopped not far in front of her. The car door opened, and a tall, forbidding figure walked out. Mo Weiyi quickly waved her hand. Because its a landscape outside, the balcony is extended. Theres a railing in front of her waist, and behind her is a floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains are pulled at the moment, people inside couldnt see outside at all. When the man approached, Mo Weiyi immediately reached out her hands to him. Xiao Yebai glanced at her thin dress. He was expressionless, but still gripped her hand. It was soft yet ice-cold. Mo Weiyi giggled, Xiaobai, carry me out, okay? Xiao Yebai looked at her: Hurry up. Mo Weiyi urged. Seeing his reluctance, she withdrew her hand, reached up to hug his neck, tipped her toes, and leaned closer, Xiaobai, carry me out. Xiao Yebai lifted his arms, circled her slim waist, his voice was deep and puzzled, What are you trying to do? Stop talking. Mo Weiyi said, Hurry up and carry me out. Then, her feet finally left the ground. Xiao Yebai stood outside the railing as he held her straight up. Raise your legs a bit. Mo Weiyi obediently lifted her legs. Her body was suddenly in mid-air, vaulted over the railing, and finally landed in his warm and strong embrace. The air between them was filled with his clean and pleasant masculine scent. Xiaobai. Um, Xiaobais face is icy, its rather comforting to lean against it. However, Xiao Yebai said, What were you doing outside while having a fever? Mo Weiyis hands were icy, and her face was burning hot. Its clear she was down with fever. Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes, Do I have a fever? Xiao Yebai: He said, Im taking you to the hospital. No. Mo Weiyi was radiating a faint heat, she was already in his arms. I dont want to go to the hospital. Ill be with you. Xiao Yebai carried her into the living room, walking around the main entrance. The crowd, who had been chatting, were all a bit stunned. The old master Mo was utterly confused, What happened, Yiyi? Wasnt she on the balcony making a phone call? Why did she get carried in from outside? Xiao Yebai said, Weiyi has a fever. Fever? Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, Wasnt she fine just now? How could she catch a fever after answering a call? Xiao Yebai came over, picked up the bag, and put the coat on her, Sorry, I need to take her to the hospital. Good, hurry up. The old master Mo looked worriedly at his granddaughter, Drive carefully, call me when you get there. Alright. Master Mo watched them till they were out of the door. After the car left, he let out a sigh, This girl. Turning his head to see Mo Yaoxiong, his face dropped. Didnt you know that my granddaughter was sick? Why did you make her travel all this way for dinner? Mo Yaoxiong: Inexcusable! Qu Yunyao sat there, with faint mockery in her eyes. Did she really have a fever? She was perfectly fine just then. Obviously, she was just making an excuse not to stay here and see me, right? Dad, lets have dinner first, Mo Yaoxiong persuaded, Yiyi will be fine. Xiaobai is taking care of her. Ill call later to check. Master Mo glared at him again, Youre well enough to call your daughter? You dont even know shes sick! What a waste! Scolded in front of Xu Jing and her daughter, Mo Yaoxiong felt very awkward. * * After dinner, everyone returned to the living room. Mo Yaoxiong made a call to Xiao Yebai, afterwards he said, Dad, no worries, Yiyi is having an IV drip, and Xiaobai is going to stay in the hospital with her for the night. Master Mo nodded, leaning on his crutch and left.. Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: 334, not making money, the princess doesn’t have enough to spend Chapter 334: 334, not making money, the princess doesnt have enough to spend Translator: 549690339 Qu Yunyao suddenly spoke, Ah, the gift I gave to my cousin, she forgot to take it with her. Mo Yaoxiong looked at the gift box on the back of the sofa. Uncle, my mother is just about to go back and rest, so Ill take the gift to Weiyis room on the way. Mo Yaoxiong said, Let the servant take it. Its on the way, its no problem. Qu Yunyao said, picking up the gift box. ** Qu Yunyao and Xu Jing left the villa, and when they arrived near the Southern Mansion, Xu Jing said, After you deliver the item, hurry up and get out. Dont touch any of Weiyis things, got it? I know, dont worry mom, Im not a child anymore. Xu Jing sighed, We have lived here for almost three months, and Weiyi has returned less than three times. Just now in the living room, she was having a fever and had to go out on the balcony to get some cold air. When she left, she refused to take the gift, cant you see it? Mom, what do you mean by that? Weiyi is not that petty. Qu Yunyao pretended to be naive, The last time the gift I gave was broken was just an accident, this time she just forgot, dont overthink it. Xu Jing said, Yunyao, you are younger, there are some things, mom just thinks Alright, alright, you should go back to rest first, I will come back to accompany you after I deliver the gift. After saying that, Qu Yunyao quickly turned around. ** Arriving at the Southern Mansion, Qu Yunyao pushed open the door and walked in directly. She had only been to this mansion once, and she had just stood at the door last time without entering. Now that she walked in, it was truly eye-opening. It was like the kind of European aristocratic family you would only see on TV shows or films. Luxurious, elegant, the details demonstrated careful thought and meticulousness. She thought the Northern Mansion where she lived was already luxurious. Now it seems that the difference between the mansion for guests and the one for the owner was obvious at a glance. Ha. Qu Yunyao couldnt help but sneer in her heart. When she came to the stairs, she found that the wedding photo of Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai was still hanging on the wall of the corridor. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect couple. However, she had no mood to appreciate it. After the last incident, Xiao Yebai installed surveillance systems in all areas of the old house, but she knew that there were none in the mansion. This also conveniently facilitated her movement. She quickly carried the gift box to the second floor with her. ** Hospital. Luxurious single room. After Xiao Yebai finished calling the Mo family, he returned to the car, took a laptop, and went back. Therefore, when Mo Weiyi was lying in bed and her IV drip, he sat on the sofa busily working. The sound of tapping the keyboard wasnt loud, but Mo Weiyi found it somewhat annoying. She couldnt help asking, Xiaobai, is the company very busy recently? Its always been busy. The mans voice was low and calm. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, Why do you need to be that busy? What do you do with all the money you earn? Isnt it enough just to spend enough? Xiao Yebai: Id rather you have more time and accompany me properly. Whether it was because she was ill, Mo Weiyi sounded soft and elongated her last syllable, making her look like she was coquettish. She had a habit of puckering her lips when she spoke. Her delicate and pale face, with long curled lashes casting clear fan-shaped reflections, made her look innocent and pure. Like an innocent little girl. Xiao Yebais thin lips opened, Without making money, you might not have enough to spend. Mo Weiyi was embarrassed, Have I spent a lot of money? Is it okay? Xiao Yebai didnt respond. But the answer seemed obvious. The room fell quiet for a moment. Then Mo Weiyi couldnt help being impatient, Xiaobai, can you come hug me? Feeling ill and lying in bed, knowing that her husband was just next to her but was so distant, holding a laptop and working like crazy, really made her unhappy! Xiao Yebais fingers paused, and he glanced at her. His gaze was aloof. Xiaobai Mo Weiyi coquettishly murmured. She was already running a fever, her voice sounding breathless. Lying in bed, her hand was adorned with an IV needle, her cheeks burned bright and charming due to the fever. The whole person exuded a sense of sick and charming beauty. After a few seconds, Xiao Yebai eventually put down his work and stood up. But his cell phone rang just in that moment. He picked up the phone instead. He glanced at the screen and then walked towards the balcony, Ill answer a call first. Mo Weiyi: Who is so clueless? To bother Xiaobai so late! Annoying! On the balcony, Xiao Yebai closed the room door and answered the phone. Hello. Yebai, its me. A hurried voice came through the phone from Xiao Depeng, Listen to me, your sister could absolutely not have hurt the young lady. Could your friend let her out first? How long has she been there now? How can a girl stay in such a place? Its dirty, and your sister will be scared. Yebai, your uncle only has one daughter, you cant just watch her get bullied inside, Yebai The police are handling the matter, I cant do anything about it. But how is that possible? Xiao Depeng was so angry he was yelling, Zhiwei has said that the cop is your friend. And there is no evidence indicating she is involved in this. She hasnt left Tongcheng ever since she came back. She rarely even makes phone calls. How could she hurt the young lady from a distance? Theres no evidence, so why did they lock her up? Xiao Yebai replied calmly, What are you implying, uncle? Xiao Depeng naturally couldnt be direct, Yebai, Ill just beg you, okay? You lived in our house for so many years. Tell me, did your uncle ever mistreat you? As long as Zhiwei had a bite to eat, wed never leave you out. You cant turn your back on us, just because youve successfully made it yourself now Family? Xiao Yebai mocked, the cold sneer clear over the phone, All I know is that ten years ago, you accepted that 5 million in front of me. From then on, the Xiao family has not had any relationship with me.. Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: 335, The Princess’s Possessiveness: I am his wife Chapter 335: 335, The Princesss Possessiveness: I am his wife Translator: 549690339 Yebai You want to redeem what youve sold? Impossible. But Yebai, back then, I also had my difficulties What difficulties? Xiao Depeng couldnt speak, or perhaps he didnt dare to? In any case, he fell silent. After a good while, Xiao Depeng finally spoke again, You knew, I was heavily in debt back then, we didnt even have rice for meals at home, the Mo Family is rich and powerful, they could give you a better life, even make you stand out. I did everything for your benefit. Otherwise, could you have such a good life today? Yebai, can you honestly say that you havent been happy all these years? Ha. Xiao Yebai curled his thin lips with a mocking arc. Happiness? Xiao Depeng spoke again, In any case, you must not stand by and watch her die! Xiao blood flows in your veins, you cant be so cruel to your siblings! Do you believe that if you treat us like this, youll be retributed? Retribution? Xiao Yebai uttered word by word, Well, Ill wait. You Xiao Yebai directly hung up the phone. He didnt go back, just stood there and kept waiting. The night breeze swept up and beat against the window bars, making a whistling sound. It was pitch dark outside the window. In the distance, there were scattered lights from countless homes. Who knows how much time passed, his phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Xiao Yebai coolly curled his lips, let the phone ring for quite a while before finally answering, Dad. Yebai. Mo Yaoxiong asked, Your uncle just called me. Did Yiyis accident really have something to do with Zhiwei? Zhiweis name was in Song Quans phone contact list. So they knew each other. Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Your uncle begged me for a long time; like me, he only has one daughter, and he fears that she is suffering and being bullied inside. Yebai, if there is no conclusive evidence, can you let it slide? After all, Song Quan is already beaten up like that. If it were you to witness that scene then, Song Quan might have already lost his life. Mo Yaoxiong: After a while. Anyway, Zhiwei is your younger sister and also a relative to us. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything, he slightly tilted his head, the black pupils behind the glasses stare quietly at the scene outside the window. Mo Yaoxiong sighed, Okay, I understand. I will explain to your uncle. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai directly turned around and went back to his room. ** Mo Weiyi was listlessly looking at her phone, and when she heard the noise, she immediately tossed her phone aside, Who called you? Its been an hour. Xiao Yebai curled his lips, Fifty minutes. Mo Weiyis mouth pouted enough to hang an oil bottle, Is there a difference between fifty minutes and an hour? Seriously, its already this late and still so busy. Tomorrow, I will tell grandpa to set a lesser target for that company, I feel heartbroken seeing you so busy every day. Xiao Yebai glanced at the IV bag, pressed the call bell beside the bed. Not long after, the duty nurse knocked and came in, Has it finished dripping? Xiao Yebai nodded. Looking at the mans stunningly handsome face, a blush instantly surfaced on the nurses face. She had been working at this hospital for so long, and this was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Tall and long-legged, with skin fair as jade, he looked gentle and refined in glasses C he was practically the real-life version of a prince on a white horse. Its just a pity he already had a girlfriend. She walked over to the bed with a bit of infatuation, and while she was removing Mo Weiyis IV needle, she couldnt help but observe more. The girlfriend of a handsome guy is, of course, very pretty too. Even now, while running a fever and lying on the hospital bed, she looked as exquisite as a doll. Xiaobai, can I go home after the IV drip is finished? The sweet and soft-spoken doll was talking, even her voice had a coquettish tone. The little nurse immediately said, Miss, your body temperature has not dropped yet, we suggest that you stay here to be observed overnight. You can be discharged tomorrow if everything is all right. What? I have to stay in the hospital? Mo Weiyis small face immediately wrinkled into a ball. The nurse collected the IV bag and shyly looked at Xiao Yebai, Sir. Xiao Yebai looked at her. As their eyes met, her heart pounded uncontrollably, and her voice trembled nervously, Remember to add more blankets for your girlfriend later, a good sweat will help her recover faster. Her body temperature can be measured tomorrow, and if it has dropped, she can be discharged. Thank you. The little nurse smiled sweetly, Youre welcome. Who told you Im his girlfriend? A disgruntled voice suddenly rang out. The nurse was taken aback. She looked at Mo Weiyi, surprised. Could it be that these two were not boyfriend and girlfriend? Im sorry, are you his sister then? the nurse guessed. Im his wife! Mo Weiyi said word by word, then she glared at her with her beautiful cat-like eyes. The nurse: Because Mo Weiyi looked to be only around twenty, Xiao Yebai was relatively young too, she instinctively thought that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Moreover, Xiao Yebais attitude was aloof, unlike the typical intimacy and warmth shared between couples. The nurse felt a deep blow, and apologized profusely, Im sorry, I thought Im sorry. She apologized repeatedly, then finally left. Mo Weiyi huffed, The nurses nowadays are so unsettled. As soon as she entered the room, she started throwing flirtatious glances at you.. She assumed you were the boyfriend, but still behaved so frivolously, its disgusting! Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: 336, admiring sister Yiyi [Benefits] Chapter 336: 336, admiring sister Yiyi [Benefits] Translator: 549690339 | She kept apologizing until she finally left. Mo Weiyi let out a snort, saying, The nurses these days are so restless! As soon as she entered the room, she started throwing you flirtatious glances. She no longer takes care of herself, thinking shes your girlfriend. Its absolutely disgusting! Xiao Yebai felt a small tinge in his brows and asked her, Does your head hurt? No, it doesnt. Mo Weiyi hated hospitals, mainly because doctors and nurses would incessantly bother her. Xiaobai, please lock the door. Xiao Yebai glanced at her, went over, and locked the door. Turning around, he saw Mo Weiyi lying on the bed, blinking her eyes, This bed is quite big, Xiaobai, want to come up and join me? This room is a high-class VIP ward, equipped with the best amenities, naturally including a sofa. If needed, a caretakers bed can be provided. However, Xiao Yebai still went over there, his tall and cold figure stood in front of the bed, his gaze profound, his voice low, What do you want? Mo Weiyis face was flushed with red, seemingly from a fever or something else Looking at the mans composed posture, she smiled, her cat-like eyes slightly perking up, full of mischief and triumph. Soon, Mo Weiyi fell into a deep sleep. When Xiao Yebai stood next to her bed again, he had his hands leisurely tucked in the pockets of his suit trousers, his perfect attire dissolved egoistically behind his spectacles. He seemed unperturbed, as if nothing had happened. Looking at the time, it was eleven oclock at night. He tucked her in, turned around, and disappeared into the restroom. * * Come the early morning. After taking her temperature, Mo Weiyis fever had subsided as expected. This was the same young nurse from yesterday evening, but now she dared not sneak peeks anymore. Your temperature is 37.2 degrees Celsius, you can be discharged. She said. Xiao Yebai: Thank you. Youre welcome. The nurse quickly collected the thermometer, didnt dare to glance at Xiao Yebai anymore, and hurriedly left. Mo Weiyi had sweated the previous night, then spent the whole night in bed without taking a shower, feeling uncomfortably sticky. I feel terribly uncomfortable all over, I want to go home and take a shower. Dont you have class at nine? Ill get leave. Mo Weiyi couldnt stand being in the slightest bit unclean. Especially compared to Xiao Yebai. Apart from not changing his clothes, he was impeccably fresh, tidy, and elegant. The two exited the ward, taking the elevator to the first floor for the discharge formalities. As Mo Weiyi sat alone in the chair, waiting, a familiar voice sounded. Yiyi, sister. It was Qu Yunyao. Because she came down with a sudden fever last night, Xiao Yebai brought her to the nearest hospital to the Mo Familys mansion, so it was not unusual to run into Qu Yunyao here. However, Mo Weiyi still frowned immediately, What are you doing here? Are you sick? No, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Qu Yunyao said this, her eyes shifted towards the man at the distant counter. He was wearing a fine black coat, which made his already tall figure seem more majestic. In the hustle and bustle of the first-floor lobby, he was like a natural beacon, attracting the gaze of others. Did brother-in-law stay here with you last night? Mo Weiyi said, Of course. Qu Yunyao smiled faintly, Im really envious of you, Yiyi. Your brother-in-law spoils you, he treats you so well. Mo Weiyi felt that her words were insincere and she was too lazy to bother, If youre feeling unwell, why wont you go get registered? But Qu Yunyao said, I dont know why, but Ive been feeling nauseous lately. I cant keep food down, I always feel sleepy and I lack energy. Mo Weiyi looked at her: Yiyi, did you ever have this kind of reaction? Qu Yunyao asked intentionally. No. Qu Yunyao gave a light laugh, deciding to back down, Alright then, Ill go register first. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, Oh, by the way, I left the gift I brought for you in your room yesterday, remember to get it when you go back. Understood. Mo Weiyi was already somewhat impatient. Laughing, Qu Yunyao left. She was just taking a chance, guessing they might be at this nearby hospital. She didnt expect that they would really be here.. Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: 337, Sister Lin Chapter 337: 337, Sister Lin Translator: 549690339 1 However, she overlooked one thing C Mo Weiyi had never been pregnant. So, when she said all this, it just seemed like she was making a fuss over nothing, trying to gain sympathyand so, no one took her seriously. After Qu Yunyao had left, Mo Weiyi immediately called the old house and asked Uncle Shi to arrange for the gifts in the room to be sent to the Lishui Bay Villa. This way, she wouldnt need to be continuously reminded by Qu Yunyao. Such a nuisance. Soon after, Xiao Yebai came back after completing the formalities. Mo Weiyi walked up to him, hooked her arm through his, looked up at him with her beautiful bright teeth, Xiaobai, your birthday is coming soon. This time, I want to book the presidential suite from Huashang again. Is that okay? Xiao Yebai replied in a low voice, Just arrange it. Mo Weiyi was quite pleased and made a reservation for the room on her way there. Her previous plans had been spoiled due to the unexpected return of Xiao Zhiwei. This time, she was determined to plan well and give Xiaobai a memorable birthday! * * When they got back to Lishui Bay, Xiao Yebai changed his clothes and went to the office, while Mo Weiyi took a long, relaxing beauty bath. By the time she finished her bath, it was almost noon, and there were missed calls from Su Wanwan on her phone. Baby Wanwan, Im at home. I took a sick leave because of the fever. You really are like Sister Lin, if not injured, then sick. You seem to work only three days and rest two days, Su Wanwan couldnt help complaining. Hehe, I cant accompany you for lunch today. I will accompany you tomorrow. Okay, take good care of yourself. Hmm. * * After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan went to the canteen alone. Since Mo Weiyi was not there, she planned on buying food and taking it back to the dormitory. Just as she was about to leave, someone called her Wanwan. Bai Ruwei was sitting at a table near the aisle, with an empty seat in front of her. Theres no one here. Come sit here and eat. Su Wanwan hesitated for a while, but still walked over. Wanwan, I received a call from the Mo family this morning. They said that my application was approved, which I am so grateful for. Why are you thanking me? It must be you who spoke to Miss Mo for me. Wanwan, youre really a good person. I really dont know how I should thank you. I didnt help much besides, this matter somewhat concerns me too. Su Wanwan felt somewhat awkward. She always felt that the friendliness that Bai Ruwei showed was rather excessive and forcing. Bai Ruwei laughed and then said, Oh, by the way, Wanwan, there is a lecture in the school auditorium this afternoon. Will you attend? What lecture? How To Be an Excellent Woman by a painter Chu Jingyi, who just returned from abroad. Su Wanwans face sank, No. An excellent woman? Someone like her with a deviant worldview and daring to seduce a married man can called an excellent woman? Bai Ruwei cautiously looked at her, Wanwan, did I say something wrong? Its not your fault. After saying that, Su Wanwan lowered her head and started eating in silence. Bai Ruwei didnt dare say anything more. After they finished eating, Bai Ruwei spoke, Wanwan, I must go to work now. Some other day, we should go for a meal with Miss Mo. No need. Su Wanwan immediately declined. But I really want to thank you guys. The school fees every semester were too high, now that my request for financial aid has been approved, I can save a lot of money. I would like to treat you guys to a meal. Really no need. Su Wanwan replied, I will be busy with my Level-4 English exam soon, and Weiyi doesnt visit the campus often. Its hard to find a time when we are all available. You can save the money. Even after graduation, when you start working, you will need to find a place to live. The daily expenses will need money. 1 understand. Bai Ruwei nodded her head, We will see if there is a chance later. Anyway, I will not forget the help that both of you have given me. In my eyes, you are my benefactors. Su Wanwan: Finally, after bidding Bai Ruwei goodbye, Su Wanwan went back to the dormitory as there were no classes in the afternoon. Perhaps because of the impending exams, everyone in the class was busy reviewing. Even Lin Qiao wasnt causing any trouble. Plus, with Huo Jingshen gone on a business trip and no one to disturb her, Su Wanwan decided not to go home for a whole month! She took out an English dictionary, laid on the bed, and started to memorize without getting distracted. Until she received a call again. This time it was Zhao Qianqian. Wanwan, there is a lecture by a beautiful female painter this afternoon. Do you want to come with me? No! Come and listen for a while. If its boring, we can leave No need! If you want, you can go yourself. Goodbye! After saying that, Su Wanwan hung up the phone. Why is everyone suddenly interested in that lecture? Was she expected to sit there listening to that woman talk and even applaud? No way. Suddenly, Zhao Qianqian called again, Wow! I know this beautiful lady, she is your uncles friend! Su Wanwan was startled, My uncle? Yes, do you remember when we met your uncle at the entrance of the eSports Bar called Hero, its the same gentleman, Huo Jing. He was with this lady at that time. Su Wanwan: Zhao Qianqian was quite excited, Do you think, should I ask her what exactly is her relationship with Huo Jing? Maybe You dare! Su Wanwan abruptly sat up from the bed, Zhao Qianqian, if you dare to bring up Huo Jing President Huo, I will never speak to you again! Why are you so upset? Theres a Q&A session later, it would be wrong not to ask, who told you not to come? Dont you dare ask that question, do you hear me! Why? Just because! Zhao Qianqian: So bossy, huh? Did you hear me? Zhao Qianqian coughed twice, Yes, I got it. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan felt more and more irritated. That damn Huo scum! Hes not even in the country, yet he left a huge mess just to piss her off. Zhao Qianqian wouldnt dare ask the question now, would she? What if she still mentions her name Oh My God! Wouldnt their relationship be exposed then? Su Wanwan felt a bit frustrated. She couldnt help but open WeChat and clicked on the chat window with Huo Jingshen. Since he announced he was going on a business trip, they hadnt been in contact. The last text message was sent a few days ago. She originally planned to send a message scolding him. Yet, the screen suddenly lit up and then Huo Jingshen is requesting a video call with you. God damn it! Su Wanwans already large eyes widened even more. A video call? She was lying on the bed, disheveled, and the room was a mess. Su Wanwan hurriedly got up, scrambling around. She wanted to tidy things up before accepting the call, but before she was half done, the call had already been disconnected. Then, Huo Jingshen sent a message. Only one symbol. [?] Ahem. Su Wanwan had to type and ask him, [Whats up?] Huo Jingshen replied instantly, [Missed my baby, want to see my baby.] Su Wanwan: Its only been one day since he left on his business trip! [Inconvenient?] Su Wanwan replied, [Yes, Im in class right now.] Huo Jingshen sent a default WeChat smiley emoji, then [Baby you are naughty again, you dont have class this afternoon.] Damn it! Su Wanwan widened her eyes again, can this guy see into the future? How did he know that she didnt have class this afternoon? [Give you one minute, find a place where you can video call.] Huo Jingshens message came again. Su Wanwan, speechless, [Isnt chatting like this the same?] [Not the same, hubby wants to see his baby.] Su Wanwan thought about it, touched up her hair, took a selfie with her phone, and then sent it over. [There you go, beast!] * * United Kingdom, London. Huo Jingshen was about to make another video call when he saw a selfie from Su Wanwan. From the background, it should have been taken in her dormitory. Her black hair wasnt tied up and her wavy curls were just right, setting off her delicate and marked face. She didnt wear makeup, but her beautiful phoenix eyes looking at the camera seemed like they were looking at him, filled with amorous feelings, and a beauty mark at the end of her eye adding a flirtatious touch, her direct gazehis. Looking downward, she was wearing a black knitted base shirt, its body-hugging V-neck design revealing her slender neck. Under the contrast of her black hair and black shirt, her delicate and slender clavicles were as tempting as white porcelain. Huo Jingshens dark eyes darkened at an extraordinary speed. Shes simply a temptress! Just looking at this selfie, he already felt a bit * * Then, Su Wanwan received a message. [Baby, take another one.] Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and took another selfie and sent it over. Who knew [Baby, take another one.] Su Wanwan thought he didnt like the photo, so she purposely stood at the window, fixed her angle, smiled, took another selfie, and sent it over. She considered it perfect.. Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: 338, you can’t fight with money Chapter 338: 338, you cant fight with money Translator: 549690339 Su Wanwan thought he didnt find her photos attractive, so she specifically positioned herself at the window, turned her best angle and snapped another selfie smiling. She sent it over. She believed it was perfect. But Take another one, baby. Damn it! Su Wanwans temper flared up, Arent two photos enough for you!? Huo Jingshen replied, How about a full body one. Su Wanwan snapped, Im the only one in the dormitory! How can I take a full body photo?! And why cant it be just the face? Why does he need a full body one? Whats a full body photo for? Huo Jingshen immediately sent a video call request. Su Wanwan cleared her throat and accepted the call. Immediately, the handsome face of a certain individual appeared, enlarged on her phone screen. However, when he pulled his phone back Su Wanwan blushed. Oh my god! Why are you not wearing anything?! Su Wanwan quickly moved her phone away, she couldnt bear to look. In the screen, the man was completely naked. Although the size of the screen meant she couldnt see lower down, she still got an eyeful of his bare chest. Huo Jingshen said, Its 7 a.m. here in London, I just woke up. Okay then. Baby, Huo Jingshens voice was low, do you miss your husband? No. Su Wanwan responded succinctly. Huo Jingshen immediately looked annoyed. I was thinking, I forgot to send you your living expenses because I had to travel suddenly for work yesterday Thinking! Thinking! Thinking! Su Wanwan quickly interrupted him. You cant let money go. Who do you miss? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. That look C it was arrogant yet devilish. You. Su Wanwan finally gave in before money. Well, they were only communicating via screen, so it didnt matter if it made her feel sick. Who am I? Huo Jingshen was teasing her on purpose. Su Wanwan cleared her throat, My husband. Say it all together. Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, then said with pinch notes, I miss you, husband. Please give me the living expenses! Huo Jingshen chuckled, Good girl, kiss your husband. This time, Su Wanwan frowned, Will you stop pushing it! Five thousand. To kiss or not? No. Ten thousand. Even for ten thousand, no. Fifty thousand. Hubby, Mwah. Su Wanwan immediately yelled. Huo Jingshen: This little gold digger! Su Wanwan joyfully accepted the WeChat transfer. Fifty thousand in hand! Okay, Im going back to studying now, bye. Sure, well continue tonight. Continue with sending me living expenses? Su Wanwan eyes brightened. Just saying Hubby, Mwah can earn her fifty thousand. If she said it a few more times, couldnt she afford a luxury car? Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, Continue with the video call. Su Wanwan: Shameless. ** For the following few days, Su Wanwans life was uneventful. Until one morning over the weekend, she had just woken up when she received a call from Lady Huo. Wanwan, its Ziyangs birthday today. Come over for a meal at noon. Alright, Grandma. Thinking of the little fellows birthday, Su Wanwan freshened up after the call. She also planned to buy a birthday gift at the mall. But once she got to the lobby of her building, she saw two classmates standing at the entrance. Lin Qiao looked at Su Wanwan as she strutted over. She was wearing a white waist-length coat, a pink inner dress made out of gauze material over it, with short boots. In her hand, she was holding a red silkscreen-printed leather handbag. She looked fashionable and attractive. Before she could say a word, one of the female students greeted her, Su Wanwan, going on a date? Su Wanwan didnt feel the need to explain. She just smiled and walked away. The female student clicked her tongue. Dont you think Su Wanwan is a little too cold? Lin Qiao scoffed. Some people have the capital to be indifferent. Did you see her bag? The female student hurriedly peered. That bag costs more than eighty thousand yuan. What, more than eighty thousand? My god, its so expensive? She has a sugar daddy. She just needs to flap her gums and she can get whatever she wants. Eighty thousand for a bag is nothing, every month she gets at least hundreds of thousands of allowance. The female student frowned. Really? I thought Su Wanwan looked pretty innocent; she doesnt seem like that kind of person. Dont believe it? Lin Qiao sneered. Do you want to follow me and find out? I can guarantee that shes going to a date and the person picking her up is definitely an old geezer. Isnt that a bit too much? Whats wrong with it? Follow me. Lin Qiao led her along. The unbothered Su Wanwan was walking ahead. Due to it being early in the morning, there were lots of people going to the dining hall for breakfast, so she didnt notice anyone following her. She left the dormitory building and went outside, but then she turned and headed towards the back of the school. The female student began to murmur. She doesnt seem to be going on a date Lin Qiao also began to frown. She was all dolled-up, but she wasnt going to meet her sugar daddy? Then, they saw Su Wanwan arrived at the schools parking lot at the back. She took out a remote key, nonchalantly clicked it and drove off in a small red car. Did you see that? Lin Qiao was both shocked and excited. Previously, she always had different men with luxury cars dropping her off. Now it seems shes pleased her sugar daddy so much, he bought her a car! The female student: Dumbstruck. ** Su Wanwan didnt know what kind of gift a five or six-year-old boy would like. Plus, she was on a budget.. Chapter 339 - Chapter 339= 339, Little Aunt Chapter 339= 339, Little Aunt Translator: 549690339 | Surrounded by the bewildering medley of toys in the department store, juxtaposed with the sounds of chirping children and parents, plus the clamor of the toys themselves, Su Wanwan felt utterly lost. Then, she spotted a young boy playing a remote-control video game in front of a large screen. He was quite good at it too. The boy looked about five or six, with hair cut into a bowl shape, an expressionless but cool facade. Su Wanwan went over for a closer look, then asked the sales clerk, How much for this video game system? The clerk glanced over, Fifty-eight thousand. Su Wanwan: Cant afford it, better skedaddle. However, just as she was turning around, she heard a familiar female voice, Xiaoye, cant you play this at home? It turned out to be Chu Jingyi. Mummy, dont rush me! The little boys tone was quite impatient, answering in perfectly fluent English. Chu Jingyi noticed Su Wanwan at that moment and paused before slightly curving her red lips. Su Wanwan nodded lightly and walked away. Who wouldve thought that Chu Jingyi had such a big child? Why would she still want to seduce her husband being a mother already? Where on earth does she get that confidence from? ** In the end, Su Wanwan bought a set of idiom dictionaries and a large red envelope as gifts. Ahem. Not expensive, but practical, she hoped that the little guy would appreciate her kind intention! When she arrived at the mansion in District X, it was eleven in the morning. Even before she stepped foot inside the villa, she could hear the voices of children, more than one at least. Once inside, she saw Fu Ziyang sitting on the living room sofa, with a multicolored birthday hat perched on his tiny head. It should have been an adorable look, but his little face was so somber that the effect was completely lost. On either side of him, a child was seated. One was Shi Luoluo, dressed in a red corduroy shirt with white overalls for the indoor setting, with her hair done in double Dutch braids, looking incredibly cute. The other was a chubby boy with a sticking plaster on his button nose, a sight that was somewhat comical. Seeing Su Wanwan, Fu Ziyang called out, Auntie. Ziyang, this is a birthday gift from your Auntie. Do You like it? Su Wanwan promptly handed over her painstakingly chosen gifts. Fu Ziyangs face twitched slightly, Thank you, Auntie, I like it very much. What a good boy. Su Wanwan patted his head and chuckled before taking out the red envelope. Heres an extra gift. Thank you, Auntie. Hello, Sis. Shi Luoluo obsequiously greeted. Seeing this, the little fat boy bobbled his head and followed suit, Hello, Sis. Just as Su Wanwan was about to hand over the gift, Fu Ziyangs voice rang out, You cant call her Sis. Shi Luoluo tilted her wee face, asking curiously, But Huanhuan said its polite to call pretty ladies Sis. Yeah, yeah. The chubby boy chimed in. Fu Ziyang firmly set his little face into a serious expression, Shes my auntie so you cant call her Sis, itll mess up the familial relations. Su Wanwan could almost see dark lines crisscrossing over her head. Familial relations? What on earth? Shi Luoluo now asked innocently, Then what should I call her? The chubby boy echoed, Yeah, what should I call her? Fu Ziyang said earnestly, You should call her Auntie too. So, Shi Luoluo said obediently, Hello, Auntie. The chubby boy aped her, saying, Hello, Auntie. Su Wanwan was speechless. She was just twenty, why did she suddenly end up with so many nephews and nieces? Thankfully, Granny Huo came out then, Wanwans here, these are Ziyangs classmates, they came to celebrate his birthday. Su Wanwan nodded and was about to speak when No, Great-Granny youve got it wrong. The chubby boy who had so far just echoed others finally spoke, Shi Luoluo is Fu Ziyangs girlfriend and I am his good buddy! Shi Luoluo looked at him dumbfoundedly. Fu Ziyang maintained his serious expression. Granny Huo couldnt help but laugh out loud, AU right, all right, shes the girlfriend, sorry about that, Grannys old, she momentarily forgot. The chubby boy went on to explain, Once when Fu Ziyang and I had a duel, I couldnt beat him, so I let him have Shi Luoluo as his girlfriend! Su Wanwan: So this chubby boy was the other protagonist of the duel that day, no wonder he had a sticking plaster on his nose. My father says that a man should keep his word, right, Fu Ziyang? Fu Ziyang gave a small nod, Yes. My dad also says that a girlfriend is someone you will marry and bring home in the future, so Shi Luoluo is going to be my sister-in-law! Fu Ziyangs solemn face finally displayed a smile, Your dads not wrong here. Su Wanwan: What the hell! You two little brats, did you ever ask the girl in question? Looking at Shi Luoluo, she sat holding a rainbow lollipop, still with a blankly adorable expression on her face. She seemed oblivious that her life was being decided so cavalierly. ** Despite there being only three children, the birthday party was warmly celebrated and ended on a high note. After lunch, Su Wanwan played with the three little ones for a while, in actuality, she mainly played with Shi Luoluo and the chubby boy, joined occasionally by Granny Huo. Fu Ziyang sat solemnly on the sofa the entire time, staring off into space, occasionally locking eyes with Grandpa Huo who was leisurely reading the newspaper in his grand Taishi Chair. Around three in the afternoon, the chubby boy received a call from his dad and was taken away by a servant. Looking at the time, Su Wanwan asked, Are you being picked up by your mother, Luoluo? Shi Luoluo shook her head, No, Huanhuan will come and get me.. Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: 340, Nancheng’s Number One Secretary Chapter 340: 340, Nanchengs Number One Secretary Translator: 549690339 | Shi Luoluo shook her head, Huanhuan will come to pick me up. Su Wanwan was taken aback, Eh, isnt Huanhuan your mom? Huanhuan is my sister. The little girl talked candidly, not seeming to be lying at all. Su Wanwan was a bit confused. Every time parent-teacher meetings, or any incidents occurred, it was Shi Huan who hurried to school. Was she just Shi Luoluos sister? ** At the gate of the X District compound. Shi Huan put down her phone. Whats going on? She had made so many calls, but Luoluo just wouldnt answer. Checking the time, it was already past the agreed three oclock. Could the kid be playing around like mad? Left without a choice, since the compound gate was heavily guarded and ordinary people werent allowed in, she could only continue to wait at the entrance. About ten minutes later, Shi Huan picked up her phone again, only to find out Sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned off. Turned off? Shi Huan rushed forward. Stop! A guard at the gate intercepted her, What are you doing here? His voice was loud and demanding. Im here to look for someone. Who? Im looking for Shi Huan thought for a moment, Mr. Huo Yuanshan. The guard looked at her, What is your relationship with him? -My sister went to his house for a visit, but shes not answering her phone. Im worried about the kid She hadnt finished speaking when the guard interrupted, We do not allow entry to anyone without a contact method. But its urgent Not allowed! Can we compromise? No! Can I see Elder Chu then? I have his contact. At the guards gesture, she dialed Elder Chus number. The old man was cooperative and immediately agreed to help when he heard she needed to find someone. The guard took the phone. After a brief conversation, he allowed her entry, Go on in. Shi Huan nodded, Thank you. Hold on. A cold and arrogant female voice suddenly rang out from behind. Chu Jingyi closed the car door, and strode over in her high heels, What do you need my grandfather for? I need to report a matter concerning Master Chu to the old man. Ha. Chu Jingyi scoffed, You had to come all the way here just for the minor matter of arranging a date for my brother? Shi Huan remained unmoved, Master Chus birthday is approaching, and being nearly thirty, his personal affairs are his current priority. The old man is very concerned about this -Oh please, Chu Jingyi cut her off, laughing, How your tongue has grown more silver with the years. I see my brother has cultivated you well. Who would have thought that a high school graduate who didnt even have a diploma could become Nanchengs number one secretary? Miss Chu, I have other matters to attend to, so Ill be leaving first. Hold on. Chu Jingyi interjected again, her tone haughty and nonchalant, Did I say you could leave? Miss Chu? Shi Huan looked at her, Do you own this compound? -I dont own it, but since my grandfather is not home, dont even think about using the guard to let you in. Chu Jingyis smile was provocative. The guard nearby heard these words and his face became serious and tense immediately. Shi Huan showed no expression, only her hands clenched tight involuntarily. Actually, if you really want to go in, I might let you. Chu Jingyi suddenly said. Shi Huan replied evenly, Then, may I ask Miss Chu, how can I go in? Chu Jingyi smiled lazily, Resign. Shi Huans gaze wavered for a moment. I dont like you around Ahuang. If you promise me that youll resign from your position tomorrow, I can let you in now. Hows that? Is the person youre looking for important? Or is Ahuang more important? Choose. Shi Huan didnt say anything, merely clenched her fists tighter. So unwilling? Shi Huan, I didnt know you were so ambitious. You think that because Ahuang brought you as his companion to my grandfathers birthday, you have a chance to fly on a high branch and become a phoenix? Chu Jingyi lowered her voice, A wild chicken will always be a wild chicken. What I despise the most is someone who, despite being covered in muck, still wants to wade into clear water Secretary Shi! Chu Jingyi was stunned. Shi Huan immediately turned around. Su Wenwen was walking towards them with a smile, Why havent you picked up Luoluo yet? The little girl is getting anxious. Lets go in together. Shi Huan looked at her, Mrs. Huo Before she could react, Su Wenwen had already taken her wrist. She then turned to Chu Jingyi, Miss Chu, I heard that you just gave a lecture at our school a few days ago, about how to become an outstanding woman? I was too busy to attend then, but today, I finally have the chance to see. Having said that, she smiled sarcastically, took Shi Huans hand, and left. Chu Jingyi stood there, her eyes coldly contracting. ** Upon entering the compound, Shi Huan withdrew her hand, Thank you, Mrs. Huo. Youre welcome. Su Wenwen released her hand with a smile, By the way, take down my phone number. Alright. Shi Huan took out her phone. Looking at Shi Huan, Su Wenwen noticed that her hand, holding the phone, was small and white, her skin as white as jade. She couldnt help but ask, Secretary Shi, how old are you this year? Twenty-four. So young. Su Wenwen nodded. Indeed, if Secretary Shi was only twenty-four, how could she have a daughter as big as Luoluo? Unless she got pregnant at eighteen ** Shi Huan was not a talkative person. She answered Su Wenwens questions crisply and directly, responding only when asked. By the time they reached the Huo residence, Shi Luoluo was already dressed and waiting at the door. Fu Ziyang was standing next to her. The two children looked adorable and pleasing to the eye. Huanhuan! Upon seeing Shi Huan, Shi Luoluo rushed over in joy.. Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: 341, Wanwan has been elected as the department flower! Chapter 341: 341, Wanwan has been elected as the department flower! Translator: 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 one later. 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, how come youre here? However, in her heart, she was wondering why of all times, Chu Jingyi chose to come over the moment her granddaughter-in-law had left and returned? Ever since the necklace incident, where Huo Jingshen had specifically called her to explain, 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 getting late, and I should take Luoluo home. Old Lady Huo smiled benevolently, Go on, remember to visit more often and play 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 old ladys 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 old lady 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 place 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 hair complimented her oval face with heavy makeup. She was tossing a black blazer 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 342 - Chapter 342: 342, you know what you look like, don’t you have any self-awareness? Chapter 342: 342, you know what you look like, dont you have any self-awareness? Translator: 549690339 ** Half an hour later. Su Wenwen arrived at the canteen and met up with Zhao Qianqian. Feeling proud as a peacock upon seeing her, Zhao Qianqian laughed, Lets head upstairs for lunch; Im going to treat you to a feast today! Su Wenwen merely gave her a glance, Lets go. There werent many people in the upstairs cafeteria, so Su Wenwen let Zhao Qianqian order four dishes and a soup. While they were waiting for their order, they chatted and laughed together, until a burst of unpleasant remarks echoed from the next table. Who does she think she is? Shes not even pretty! She must have rigged the voting to make it to the top! So shady! Shameless At first, Su Wanwan didnt pay them any mind. They were sitting in a corner, and a screen separated them from the rest of the canteen. Being unable to see the people speaking, she didnt think they were talking about her. Until suddenly, a familiar voice erupted, What are you talking about! It was Bai Ruwei! Su Wanwan quickly leaned forward to look. She saw Bai Ruwei standing at the table behind the screen, angrily saying to a group of girls, Its utterly disgusting how you talk behind peoples back! And who are you? a short-haired girl stood up immediately. Bai Ruwei continued, Each voting IP is recorded on the forum; you can only cast one vote from one IP each day. If youre accusing someone of rigging votes, do you have any evidence? Hahaha. Another girl, with dyed yellow hair, laughed. What kind of moralist popped out of nowhere? Who we choose to talk about is none of your business! Yeah, whats with the nosy interference? Cant you see how poor you look? The total cost of everything youre wearing couldnt sum up to 200 yuan! Your shoes have holes in them! Hahaha! Its hilarious! Flushed and furious, Bai Ruwei defended, Wanwan is not like that. Shes beautiful and kind-hearted; she deserves her rank. You are all just a bunch of jealous uglies, so mean The girls grew angry upon being called uglies, one of them even reaching out to shove Bai Ruwei, Who are you calling ugly? Bai Ruwei staggered, nearly falling down. She reached out to grab something to stabilize herself, and ended up pulling the hair of the girl sitting next to her. The girl screamed in pain and, after securing her hair back, stood up and slapped Bai Ruwei in the face, Where did this pauper crawl out from? Your hands smell like garlic. Youre disgusting, and got my hair dirty! Noticing a small stain on her white sweater, she was even more infuriated. She once again lifted her hand to slap Bai Ruwei. However, someone suddenly pulled Bai Ruwei back, causing the slap to miss its target. Instead, she was forcefully pushed on the shoulder. The push was so forceful that she stumbled backward, and her waist hit the edge of the table. The pain was accompanied by her hand landing directly into a dish of hot food. Ah! The girl cried out in pain from the burn, Who are you? When it dawned on her that their defender was Su Wanwan. The same girl the star they were just gossiping about! They were all young women in their twenties, already sheepish about being caught out gossiping, and now frightened by Su Wanwans sudden aggression. Their bold expressions instantly shrank back. Are you okay? Su Wanwan asked Bai Ruwei. Bai Ruweis cheek was red from the slap, her hair was a little messy, but upon hearing that, she hurriedly shook her head, Im fine, Wanwan, what are you doing here? Su Wanwan spun around to face the girls, Who are you to judge my appearance? A bunch of oddballs, hideous faces, is there no mirror in your house? Do you really believe that wearing gold and silver makes you superior? Without parents, what are you worth! The girls dared not respond angrily. Su Wanwan knew that most students in this prestigious university were children from wealthy families, except for a few who made it through their own hard work and merit. She was certainly aware of the colleges deeply ingrained hierarchical attitudes rich kids looking down on the poor, children of officials looking down on the children of the rich, and so on. The campus was just a miniaturized version of the broader society, with its entrenched hierarchy of contempt. Plunged deeply in her studies, she had always avoided the drama. She didnt spend much time on campus, and had hardly mingled with her classmates, so this was the first time she witnessed such bullying, especially targeting someone she knew. Her face hardened, and with a cold, scornful voice, she said: Gossiping behind peoples backs and even daring to assault someone? Id like to see you try that again! The girls didnt dare to eat anymore. They were ready to flee. Stop! Su Wanwan shouted, causing them to flinch. You think you can just hit someone and run off? Is it that easy? Bai Ruwei was trying to stop Su Wenwen, No need, Wanwan. Im okay. Shut up! Su Wanwan snapped at her, All of you must apologize, and pay the medical expenses in full! If not, Im reporting it to the school leadership! Zhao Qianqian had also joined them by this time, Wanwan, are you okay? She then started backing her friend up, The votes for Wanwan were willingly given by those who admired her dancing. She fairly won the dance competition and hence the title of the department flower.. If you have any problems, why didnt you campaign earlier? Whats the point of backbiting now? Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: 343, benefits for the school beauty Chapter 343: 343, benefits for the school beauty Translator: 549690339 Then she also started defending her friend, Wanwans votes were voluntarily given by people who had watched her performance at the time. Her dance won first place, and it was deserved! Whats wrong with being the department belle? If youre not convinced, why didnt you canvass votes earlier? Does talking behind others backs now make sense? Su Wanwan though, didnt care about exchanges of words, Did you hear what I just said? Apologize, and also, my medical bill! The girl who was scalded shifted her gaze around, and seeing more and more students starting to gather, afraid of being embarrassed, she hurriedly took out her purse from her bag, grabbed several hundred-dollar bills and slapped them on the table, Here! Just as she was about to leave Apologize! The girls face turned red, she had no choice but to bow her head and say, Im sorry. Having said this, she turned and ran off. Seeing this, the other girls also hurriedly said one after another, Im sorry. After they had left, Su Wanwan picked up the money on the table, You take it. No need. Bai Ruwei quickly declined, I was just upset by them earlier, why would they say such things about you? Ive also seen that photo of yours, youre really pretty, I think becoming the school beauty is well-deserved! Su Wanwan bit her lip and forced the money into her hands, You should go to the infirmary first. Its not really necessary, it was just a slap in the face. Bai Ruwei touched her face, unconcerned, Anyways, I get hit by customers all the time too, Im used to it. This self-deprecating remark stirred Zhao Qianqian as she watched her, visibly moved. Su Wenwen also felt a bit disheartened for a moment. Even though her face was so red, and she was thin and frail, she had just dared to fight against the many single-handedly. Bai Ruwei glanced at the time and suddenly panicked, Oh no, Im supposed to be at work at the restaurant, you guys keep eating, Ive got to go now, goodbye. After saying this, she didnt wait for Su Wanwan to respond and quickly left. Wanwan, is this person your friend? Zhao Qianqian couldnt help sighing, She stood up for you, was insulted and slapped, this friend of yours is really loyal! Su Wanwan: ** Returning to the dining table, Su Wanwan continued eating. The students who had been watching the commotion in the small cafeteria also gradually dispersed, restoring it to its usual quiet. As if nothing had happened at all. Ignore them, theyre simply green with envy! Zhao Qianqian picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, speaking while eating, Who made you so naturally beautiful and also have the advantage of being a great dancer, they deserved to be upset! Su Wanwan said, Why didnt you tell me about the vote earlier? I dont want to be the department belle at all. Why not? I just dont want to. Oh come on, being the department belle is great. There will be someone to save your study spot, if you want to buy food, you dont have to wait in line, there will be boys to help with the hot water, and even in class, there are people who will automatically answer the roll call for you, its amazing. Besides, I can also benefit from knowing you. The last sentence, thats your main point, isnt it? Su Wanwan had a sarcastic smile. Zhao Qianqian didnt deny, Were already juniors, and internships will be arranged next semester, there wont be many chances to enjoy these privileges, we cant not take advantage of our four years at university, right? Otherwise, it would be so boring, dont you think? Su Wanwan was non-committal. She really didnt care for these so-called privileges. Besides, she was already married Wanwan, do you want to give it a try later? Try what? Ahem. Zhao Qianqian said seriously, Youll know later. ** After dinner, Zhao Qianqian returned to the dormitory to get two thermoses, and went with Su Wanwan to the hot water room behind the cafeteria. A long line was already forming, with both boys and girls in line, mostly boys. Su Wanwan had just walked to the end of the line. Wanwan. Zhao Qianqian intentionally raised her voice, Why are you personally coming to get water? Su Wanwan was startled. What was this girl up to? Before she could speak, several boys lining up in front immediately turned their heads to look at her. Then, You are Su Wanwan! The newly elected department belle in the journalism department? Thats the one who danced last time, I recognize her! Stunned, Su Wanwan looked at them, Is something the matter? One of the chubby seniors said cheerfully, Ill fetch the water for you. Huh? Su Wanwan was completely taken aback. Before she could react, the thermos in her hand had already been taken away. Zhao Qianqian laughed and said, Thank you, senior. Youre welcome, the chubby senior gestured to his companion, Hurry up, help out. The boy immediately came over and picked up Zhao Qianqians two thermoses with one hand. They didnt have to lift a finger. After filling up the thermoses, they even helped carry them all the way to the girls dormitory. Unbelievable. Back in the dormitory, Zhao Qianqian winked, How is it? Isnt it great to be the schools sweetheart? Su Wanwan: It seemed pretty great indeed. And that was just the beginning. After putting away the thermoses, Zhao Qianqian suggested, Lets go to the reading room tonight to study. Its too crowded, lets go to the classroom instead, Su Wanwan looked at the time, it was already past six in the evening. The schools new teaching building had two reading rooms, but they were constantly packed recently due to exams. Plus, the weather at the end of November had turned quite cold. The reading rooms had air conditioning, automatic water dispensers, and spacious seats all things that regular classrooms didnt have, so it was no surprise that it would be full at this time. Hold on, Ill get someone to save us two seats. Zhao Qianqian grabbed her phone, tapped a few times, Done! Lets go. Indeed, when Su Wenwen and Zhao Qianqian came into the reading room carrying their academic materials, a boy immediately stood up. He was tall and strong, and even wore glasses. He graciously let them sit down and then left with his books and friends. Once they were seated, Zhao Qianqian inquired, How was it? I gave him your name and he immediately agreed to give up the seat. Su Wanwan chuckled, Thank you. She took out her dictionary and had just memorized a few words when the boy suddenly returned, Su Wenwen, can I add you on WeChat? Why? Su Wenwen was a bit hesitant. The boy explained, Actually, Im also in the E-sports Club, you probably dont remember me, just add me on WeChat first. Im super good at PUBG, I can take on five players in the final round! Interested in playing together? Ill carry you! Guarantee top ten every round! Before Su Wenwen could say anything Wow, youre so good! Wanwan, add him quickly, or I will add you to our game group directly. We have a game group with Wanwan, can you play PUBG with us in the future? Absolutely! Soon, they added him to the group. Suddenly, the boy placed a bag on the table, Su Wanwan, I got this for you. A bag full of snacks! The schools supermarket was having a sale, you guys enjoy, Im off. The boy ran off as soon as he finished speaking. Su Wenwen didnt even have the chance to refuse. ** Therefore, when she returned to her dorm with that bag of snacks after self-study, Huo Jingshen suddenly video called her Su Wanwan awkwardly felt a little guilty. Originally, she wanted to give the snacks to Zhao Qianqian, but that girl absolutely refused in the name of dieting. She thought for a while, quickly hid the bag of snacks in the cupboard, and then answered the call. What took you so long to answer the phone? Su Wenwen pretended to be calm and smiled, I just got back from evening self-study. Evening self-study? Yes. Youre being obedient? Huo Jingshen chuckled, his dark eyes narrowing, and his handsome face darkening, Tell me, did you do something wrong today? Su Wanwans smile froze, How did he know she had accepted gifts from a boy Im sorry. Su Wanwan quickly apologized, 1 will never accept things from boys again. But this time I didnt even expect it, he just gave it to me and ran off. As soon as she admitted her error, Huo Jingshens face turned even darker, Accepting things from a boy? I just accepted a bag of snacks! I swear, I didnt eat a bite, Ill return it tomorrow! Su Wanwan immediately raised her hand as if to swear her innocence, who knew Not only did you secretly drive without me, but you also accepted a boys snacks? Su Wanwan was stunned, her mouth opened in shock, DrDriving? Huo Jingshen leaned back against the sofa, crossing his arms over his chest, his cold eyes shooting daggers through the screen, Grandma called me and said you drove to our house today, and you didnt listen when she advised against it. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, Damn it, she thought he found out about her accepting things from boys, but it turned out to be about driving! She went and blurted out her guilt without thinking! Before she could say anything, Huo Jingshens voice sounded cold again, When your husband is away on business, you secretly drive around. Not only that, youre flirting around at school, accepting snacks from boys.. As a married woman, do you think your actions are appropriate? Chapter 344 - Chapter 344= 344, A Wife With a Husband Chapter 344= 344, A Wife With a Husband Translator: 549690339 Before she could respond, Huo Jingshens frosty voice echoed once more, While your husband is away on business, you dare to drive alone, not to mention, frolicking around at school, accepting snacks from boys. As a married woman, do you think your actions are appropriate? Su Wanwan was stunned, I didnt frolic around, it was just a bag of snacks. Why did you accept his snacks? Su Wanwan hurriedly explained, I didnt want to accept it, but I was just voted as the most beautiful girl in our department and people started fussing over me out of nowhere The most beautiful girl in the department? Huo Jingshen interrupted with a squint. Ahem. Su Wanwan suddenly felt embarrassed, Like it was a vote on the school forum. So, youre the most beautiful girl in the department? Yes. Then whos the most beautiful girl in the university? Its Weiyi, why? Huo Jingshen scorned, What a lack of taste; is she more beautiful than my wife? Su Wanwan: Eh, was he indirectly saying she was prettier than Weiyi? Su Wanwans heart fluttered with excitement. Tell me, for these two incidents, how should I punish you? Spank you or? Su Wanwan suddenly felt both furious and annoyed, Buzz off! It wasnt intentional! Youve done wrong, and now you wont even admit it. Thats an additional offense. Su Wanwan was indignant but remembered he was far off in the United Kingdom. Why should she engage with him? Hed probably forget all about it by the time he returned. So, she coughed twice, changed the topic, By the way, whats the time there? Eight hours behind. Topic change successful! Su Wanwan continued, When are you coming back? Why? On the screen, Huo Jingshen was squinting at her, looking cold and arrogant, Do you miss your husband? -Of course, I miss your Su Wanwans voice trailed off, cooking! Hehe. Huo Jingshen: Alright, Im going to sleep now. Su Wanwan quickly got up, yawning dramatically, Im so tired, its eleven oclock. It was indeed late, so Huo Jingshen didnt press her, but he reminded her sternly Throw all the snacks away, stop eating such unhealthy food! If you dare toaccept gifts from boys again, be careful, I will make sure you cant get out of bed for three days! Alright, alright. Su Wanwans face flushed, and she quickly hung up. What a scoundrel! Even from thousands of miles away, he still wants to control her driving, unbelievably! ** Therefore, on Monday, before English class, the first thing Su Wanwan did was to bring the snacks to the classroom and place them on Zhao Qianqians desk. What is this? Give them back to him. I dont want them. Why? He put so much thought into it and hes already given them to you. Now, if you give them back, it will be so embarrassing for him. I dont care. I just dont eat this stuff. Zhao Qianqian frowned, Fine then, how about we just distribute them amongst everyone? Whatever. Zhao Qianqian then began distributing the snacks. When people asked, she just said that it was Su Wanwan treating everyone. As a result. Wow, Su Wanwan is so generous! Treating us to snacks first thing in the morning? And they all seem pretty expensive too! Su Wanwan, are you rolling in money now? Su Wanwan just smiled and took out her textbook from her seat. Shes probably thanking us for voting for her? After all, she was just elected the new beauty queen in our department. No wonder, haha, you really didnt need to, were all in the same class. Exactly, I even had people from the class next door vote for you. I voted for you too! Just then, Lin Qiao entered the room. Hearing all the discussion, her face took on a sour expression. When she found her seat, Zhao Qianqian came over and placed a bag of chips on her table. Lin Qiao tensed her hand, then abruptly grabbed the bag of chips and threw it on the floor. The sound was loud, startling Zhao Qianqian until she turned pale. Class is starting, everyone quiet down! Li Mochou entered the room at that moment. Zhao Qianqian hurriedly picked up the chips and returned to her seat. Class began. Lin Qiao sat there, her anger causing her chest to rise and fall. It took a while before her murderous expression relaxed somewhat. ** By the time the two periods ended, it was already noon. Su Wanwan left the classroom to eat lunch with Mo Weiyi in the cafeteria. Just as she arrived at the base of the building, her phone rang. It was Ye Qitian, whom she hadnt heard from in a long time. Younger school sister, my dear younger school sister, you should be at school, right? Quickly come to the sports field! For what? Su Wanwan frowned. My God, we havent seen each other for almost two months. Surely you miss me by now? Youre asking me why when 1 want you to come here? Shouldnt you run right to my hugs instead? Hurry up and stop wasting time, if you dont come now. Ill be blown away by the wind. Indeed, the wind was quite strong in Nancheng today. Su Wanwan had no choice but to call Mo Weiyi. Upon hearing that a friend was visiting, she also seemed excited. Where is it? Ill go too. After she shared the location, Su Wanwan turned and headed toward the sports field. The sports field was packed with people, filled with buzzing and intermittent screams and laughter from the girls. It was as bustling as during the morning flag-raising ceremony. Before she could speak, a boy shouted, The beauty queen of the journalism department is here! Su Wanwan: Wow, her popularity had grown so much in only a few days since being elected? Then, she heard an all-too-familiar voice, Younger school sister, younger school sister, come here! The crowded throng of students parted to reveal a flashy red Maserati parked by the side of the sports field. Ye Qitian was leaning against the car, completely in his element, his swagger attracting all the attention and curious onlookers.. Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: 345, Tearing Off the True Face of the Pure Flower Girl Chapter 345: 345, Tearing Off the True Face of the Pure Flower Girl Translator: 549690339 The throng of people parted, revealing a red Maserati sports car parked at the edge of the field. Ye Qitian was leaning nonchalantly against the car, carelessly flaunting his ostentatiousness, attracting gawking and gathering spectators. With a pair of reflective sunglasses, he took them off as soon as he saw her, revealing an incredibly handsome face that could captivate a nation. Grinning wickedly, he let out a charming chuckle. Instantly, the girls erupted into a symphony of high-pitched squeals. Ahhh Qitian you look amazing! I love you Qitian! Love you, love you, love you! Qitian, I want to have your babies! Su Wanwan felt a wave of confusion in the ensuing madness. Qitian? Could they be any cheesier? Could she go throw up first? Baby Wanwan. Mo Weiyi also made his way over, Who is this show-off? Highly conspicuous Ye Qitian had already made his way over. At a height of 1.8m, with porcelain skin, twinkling eyes, and charming features like that of an anime character, his exceptionally styled silver hair was undoubtedly breaking the fourth wall. Coupled with his outfit that screamed artiste, modern, handsome, bold, he was like a beacon, attracting continuous screams of ecstatic fangirls all around him. Su Wanwan, however, glared at him with her beautiful phoenix-like eyes, just about ready to retort when Ye Qitian bent over and hoisted her off the ground, and then began spinning! Spinning in circles! Never-ending spins! Ahhhhh! Su Wanwan, caught off guard, let out a shriek. The girls surrounding them immediately let out sounds of surprise and envy, simultaneously snapping pictures and recording videos with their phones. Mo Weiyi also had a stunned look on his face. What the heck! Such a Mary Sue scene? Even Xiaobai and she havent done that! She quickly fumbled for her phone to snap a picture, but Su Wanwan had already been put down. Su Wanwan firstly pushed Ye Qitian away and took a swift kick at his long leg, finally delivering a slap to the back of his head, Are you crazy?! Despite the smacks, Ye Qitian guffawed. Junior Sister, my virgin movie wrapped up yesterday, and the company has given me a half-month holiday! Quick, tell me if youre happy or not! Su Wanwan bitterly retorted, Whats your holiday got to do with me? Why should I be happy? Because I can ask you out now! Ye Qitian yelled. As he spoke, he gave a playful wink. The surrounding spectators immediately squealed in excitement. Su Wanwan hasnt seen Ye Qitian since the last time their fake affair was exposed. She was too preoccupied with her studies and didnt pay any attention to the entertainment news, and to think This guy already has fans? The movie hasnt even been released yet. This popularity is unprecedented! Qitian, are you dating the freshman princess? A girl probed. An additional voice quickly denied, Impossible! Exactly! Qitian, youre mine! A third voice chimed in. Qitian, are you going to abandon your Angel Group? A fourth voice quizzed. Qitian, mommy loves you! A fifth voice added. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and finally couldnt hold back anymore. She grabbed Ye Qitian and took off running. Hey, dont run! Mo Weiyi yelled anxiously. But it was too late. Su Wanwan was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the two figures had disappeared. The group of girls who had gathered to join in the excitement looked at each other, then slowly dispersed. In a nearby corner, Lin Qiao put down his phone, chuckled, and said, Nice. Su Wanwan. You never cease to amaze me, do you? This time, you even hooked up with Huanyu Medias new fresh meat. You really do cradle rob! This time, just wait for your reputation to be ruined and your name to be tarnished! ** Su Wanwan dragged Ye Qitian into a classroom, slammed the door shut, turned around, then furiously demanded, Havent I told you not to look for me at school? I remember! Ye Qitian shouted out loud. Damn, has this nitwit finally remembered what she said? Who wouldve thought? I remembered that the roses I bought are still in the car. Wait here; I will go get them now. With that, Ye Qitian began to reach for the door handle. However, Su Wanwan quickly slapped his hand away, Dont you dare move! Ye Qitian grimaced from the pain. Junior Sister, is it just me, or have you gotten stronger over these past two months? Did Master secretly give you martial arts training again? Su Wanwan just gave a sigh. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, Xiaotian, Im already married, and my husband is your Im not listening! Im not listening! Im not listening! Ye Qitian covered his ears. Su Wanwan started launching into a long speech, Whether you hear it or not, its the truth. Im married now. Moreover, Im not someone who would cheat. All this while, Ive always seen you as my elder brother. If it wasnt for you and Master rescuing me at Los Angeles and helping me realize the error of my ways, I might still be a clueless street girl. Weve always been the best of friends. I treasure our friendship. Lets just keep it pure and remain friends, okay? Ye Qitian launched into his exposition of how suave and devoted he was. Im tall, handsome, have fair skin, and a familys only child. All the money from my parents will be mine someday. My fanbase will multiply once my movie releases, but, the only person I like is you. Superb and devoted to only you.. How right do you have to not like me? Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: 346, forum incident erupts Chapter 346: 346, forum incident erupts Translator: 549690339 Ye Qitian started his lengthy speech, I am good looking, tall, fair-skinned, and the only child, which means all my parents wealth will be mine in the future. My popularity and fan base will rise after my film is released, but I only like you. I am so excellent and devoted, so why wouldnt you like me? SuWanwans mouth twitched: Or are you worried that my parents will object to us? Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, not understanding his train of thought. Ah. Ye Qitian sighed, raised his hand, and gently patted her head, My little junior, dont worry. Even though youre already married, I will wait for your divorce. After the divorce, you should not feel inferior, as long as I like you, my parents wont object to me marrying a divorcee! Inferior? Divorce? Divorcee? Su Wanwan finally couldnt bear it and started to punch Ye Qitians arm. Talking with him was like playing the lute to a cow! After an intense beating, Su Wanwan got up and left, Dont come to school to find me lately, or were through! When can I see you? Ye Qitian rubbed his head, crying miserably. Su Wanwan glanced at him. His formerly stylish hair now resembled a chicken coop after her beating Feeling a touch of pity, she said, Wait until I finish my exams. Ye Qitian was suddenly overjoyed, Then you must do well in your exams, I will wait for you. Su Wanwan: What an idiot! ** She initially thought it was just a harmless little episode. But the next day, because there was no class in the morning, Su Wanwan was lazing in her warm bed, when she suddenly received a call from Zhao Qianqian. Wanwan, somethings wrong, have you checked the forum? Whats the matter? Su Wanwan frowned. You dont know about it yet, ah, youd better go check the forum, something has happened. After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan opened the forum. Once she entered, she saw several posts marked HOT, some of which had dozens of pages of replies. The titles read: [Bombshell! The schools beauty from the Journalism Department was once kept by a sixty-year-old man!] [Revealing the true face of the innocent belle: Selling her body for money!] [Promiscuous school belle used to date multiple men simultaneously!] [Using sugar daddys money to keep a toy boy, some girl knows how to play!] Did these titles refer to her? Su Wanwan frowned, randomly clicked on the post about the toy boy. The first floor was a video. In the video, Ye Qitian was holding her and spinning around constantly while girls around them were cheering and taking photos or videos. The video even had special effects, with the background music being the popular TikTok song More than just like, so the person who posted it was just gossiping. After all the commotion Ye Qitian created yesterday, many of his female fans were at the scene, but then The thread was hijacked by a user called Rippingyou without negotiation. He posted several photos and laid out the facts of Su Wanwan dating several men at the same time. The first picture was taken at the school gate, where Huos driver, Mr. Liang, was opening the car door for her. Thus Mr. Liang was classified as the rich old man who kept her. The car he drove was a Rolls Royce, worth nearly ten million. The second picture showed Su Wanwan and Ji Jie walking together under the girls dormitory, with Ji Jie holding a suitcase and a travel bag. It was said that Ji Jie was only Su Wanwans backup and was only allowed to help her with hard, dirty, and tiring tasks. The third picture was taken under the office building when she just got of f the elevator. She was accused of seducing male teachers at school, often seen alone entering and leaving the office building, and each time she came out, her clothes would be disheveled, her lips swollen, and her face flustered Moreover, it involved more than one male teacher and her winning the first place in the dance competition because of these connections. The fourth picture showed Su Wanwan getting out of Huo Jingshens Bentley Mulsanne. It was said that Su Wanwan was late for school due to serving her sugar daddy and the two spent half an hour in the car without attending any classes. The fifth picture was even more speechless. It showed Su Wanwan getting out of her red car, implying that this car was a gift from her sugar daddy to reward her service. As for the comments below [No way, I thought they looked good together when I saw her with him yesterday. She seems so pure, how could she be kept?] TearYouUp: [The purer the woman, the more shameless her bones! When the sugar daddy forks over the cash, she uses it to play with young meat. Who among you wouldnt do the same if you had the chance?] [These photos look normal, nothing too intimate. Maybe they just know each other. It doesnt necessarily mean shes being kept, right?] TearYouUp: [Ive seen that old man drop her off at school more than once. Each time, he would sit in the car for a long while before coming out. What do you think theyre doing in there, playing rock-paper-scissors?] [The department flower is actually quite rich. Last time, I saw her wearing a jade bracelet worth at least a few hundred thousand, not to mention her bag, clothes, shoes, all branded stuff. How could someone so rich be kept?] TearYouUp: [Just a wiggle of the jaw and she gets all these things. A little shake of her waist and she even gets a house! Is her wealth not the result of selling her own body?] [But I remember that the department flower and the campus belle are good friends. She usually keeps to herself, rarely talks much.] TearYouUp: [Thats because you guys get the cold shoulder! Havent you seen how fawning she is towards the campus belle? Thats because the belle is the princess of the Mo family. Bootlicking will get her benefits.] [Shes so beautiful, why not find a handsome, rich second-generation heir instead? Those old men are repulsive!] TearYouUp: [Do you think those rich heirs would have any interest in her?] [Do you have a personal vendetta against her or something?] TearYouUp: [Im just cleansing society of scum] Su Wanwan: Upon seeing this comment, she couldnt help but laugh out loud. Checking the persons details on their profile. Male? 20 years old? Account registration a month ago? Yet, there were no posts until last night, continuously posting and top-bumping threads to defame her. Clearly a planned attack, and one that took a long time to prepare. Su Wanwan promptly shut down the online forum. The content of the other threads was likely more or less the same. Over the last couple of days, her sudden election as department flower had drawn much attention. Wherever she went, male students would fawn over her. However, she had always kept a low profile at school. On second thought, there were only two people at school who she had bad blood with. One was JianXiaoman, but they hadnt run into each other since the incident when Su Yanyans fake pregnancy news was debunked. Besides, knowing Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshens relationship, she didnt seem to have a motive for posting such threads. The other was Lin Qiao. Su Wanwan sneered inwardly. Thinking she wouldnt find out the accounts identity by posting defamatory threads? What stupidity! But these sorts of gossip threads, like the recent case of Li Feifei being expelled, will quickly be forgotten. People love reading juicy gossip. When new gossip comes around, the older gossip gets pushed aside and soon enough, people barely remember it. The priority right now was to prepare for the exams. So, when Zhao Qianqian called again, Su Wanwan was nonchalant, Yeah, I saw it. Thats it? Zhao Qianqian was surprised, Shouldnt you make a clarification post quickly? I promise to backyou up. Forget it. Su Wanwan decided to get out of bed. As she got dressed, she said hands-free, The exams are around the corner, where do I find the time to post a response? Even if I did post, there will still be a heap of unbelievers. Do I need to reply to each one of them? Would they believe me even if I did reply? Wouldnt that be a sheer waste of time? A headache too! Let them say whatever they want. Youre in the clear, but these rumors can harm your image. This TearYouUp guy must have a serious disorder, making such serious allegations based on a few photos? I came to your defense, and now hes constantly tagging me, like a rabid dog that wont let go. Su Wanwan laughed, Anyway, dont worry about it. I know who is responsible for spreading these rumors, just ignore her. You know? Who is it? Zhao Qianqian asked hurriedly. A person with a crazy mind. Zhao Qianqian was speechless, So what now? Hes still posting, and more and more people are believing him. Out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, I need to get up and study now. Su Wanwan ended the call after saying this. After all, during her most rebellious phase in the past, the school forum was a lot worse than it is now. The school leaders even called the Su family several times, and she almost got expelled. She had already endured much harsher criticism. Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: 347, Wanwan retorts dominantly Chapter 347: 347, Wanwan retorts dominantly Translator: 549690339 She had heard so much worse. So Su Wanwan simply didnt bother to respond. She decided not to go to class anymore and stayed in the dorm to study instead. But people still came to bother her. The first was Jian Shuhao. Su Wenwen, I saw those forum posts, but I believe youre not that kind of person. Thankyou. Su Wanwen felt somewhat comforted. After all, there were still discerning people. The second was Bai Ruwei, Wanwan, I saw the post on the school forum. I believe youre not that type of person. If you need anything, just tell me. Its fine. Im busy reviewing these days, you dont have to bother. Actually, this could be easily solved. You could just ask Mr. Huo to come to the school to prove that the rumors are not true. My husband is on a business trip. Su Wenwen spun her pen, Besides, the Huo family doesnt want our relationship to be public. Though the Huo family hadnt been explicit, Su Wenwen wasnt stupid. They registered the marriage but didnt hold a wedding C clearly the old Mr. Huo had his reservations. On top of that, Huo Jingshen had been to the school before, and she had always concealed their relationship. Anyway, just dont worry about it. Not long after the call ends, Zhao Qianqian called again. With a sigh, Su Wenwen takes her call, What now? Is the user Smiling Universe you? Whats SmilingUniverse? She posted a clarification foryou. Its been prioritized to the top of the page and its now confronting the one whos slandering you. Su Wenwen immediately checks the forum. Sure enough, some user named Smiling Universe had posted a clarification, standing out amongst the defamation posts on the first page. [Im a friend of Su Wanwans and I once was a servant at the Su family. I understand Wanwan very well. She has always been a wealthy young miss, and the Su family is from a scholarly background. Her father is the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, her grandfather is a retired station director, and her husband is a very prominent figure in Nancheng. If all this was revealed, it would probably scare you! Just because of a few unfounded sneaky photos, you want to defame her? Accusing her without sufficient evidence is slander! You are all too idle, arent you? People following, just stop it. Dont be influenced by these villains.] There are a few comments below. [Wow, the plot is turning around again! ] [I knew it, she is so stunning and refined, she must be from a prestigious family! ] [So shes the daughter of Director Su! It makes sense she is studying journalism! Shes going to follow in her fathers footsteps!] [Awesome! Amazing!] But quickly, Slandering without discussing with you starts to reply, [Youre her servant? Im Su Wanwans relative then. I saw her grow up. She loves to flirt with men thanks to her beauty, deep down, she is just a cheap woman! Please, if you want to whitewash her, bring some strong evidence, okay? Do you think making up excuses would divorce her from the truth? Could it be her puppet account? Coming to muddle up the truth? Hahaha, Im laughing my teeth off!] Bai Ruwei replies several times afterwards but each of her replies gets rebutted by Slandering without discussing with you. As a result, the public, who once believed her, starts to side against her again. Seeing the time, Su Wenwen closes the forum and calls Mo Weiyi for lunch. But unexpectedly. Wanwan, I am not going to school today. Su Wanwan lost for words, Sick again? Todays the 20th, its Xiaobais birthday. Im currently at the club getting a makeover, have to go to the hotel later to decorate the room for the party, I wont have the time for school. Mo Weiyi said confidently. Alright then, wish you and Xiaobai a good 300 rounds of battle. Su Wenwen playfully said. Dont worry, Ive got the condoms all ready! Su Wenwen: Definitely no match for this female hooligan! ** At 11:30, Su Wenwen brought a lunch box to fill with food. Just as she walked into the cafeteria, two girls came in her direction. Seeing her, their faces changed and they hastily moved aside to avoid her. Su Wanwan was baffled. While waiting in line, the male and female students nearby stared at her and whispered amongst themselves. It seemed like a lot of people had been brainwashed by that Slandering without discussing with you. Regardless, Su Wanwan paid no mind, bought her meal and headed back to the dorm. Just as she walked out from the cafeteria, a guy blocked her path. Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan glanced at him, Yes? The guy hesitated, You dont remember me? Su Wanwan felt slightly awkward, What do you want? The guy looked angry, I didnt think you were that type of person. I wondered why you always ignored me after I added you to the gaming group, turns out you were busy servicing other men. I was completely wrong about you! Hearing gaming group, Su Wanwan finallyremembered. This was the guy who gave up his seat for her a few days ago and also gave her snacks. Clearly, he too had been brainwashed by the forum posts. With a stern look, she let out a sarcastic smile, Whats your major? Computer science. So, computer science students all have shit for brains? Cant think independently? You agree with what others say and go along with rumours. No wonder internet culture is so terrible nowadays. The guy scoffed, Youre driving a car given to you by your sugar daddy and you still have the nerve to argue? That car was given to me by my grandfather and its worth a mere few hundreds of thousands. If my sugar daddy is so rich that he often comes to pick me up in cars worth tens of millions, would he need to give me such a cheap car? The guy was stumped. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered with him anymore, she turned on her heel and left. ** In the afternoon, Su Wanwan braced herself and went to class. On the way there, she pulled a lot of attention. People were pointing at her and whispering, some even sneakily took out their phones to snap pictures. When she entered the classroom, the room filled with chatter suddenly went silent. Everyone was looking at her but no one was speaking. Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: 348, dark history exposed Chapter 348: 348, dark history exposed Translator: 549690339 | Walking down the hall, she instinctively attracted a lot of attention again. Either people pointed and whispered about her or tried to sneak a photo of her with their phones. But as soon as Su Wenwen fixed those people in her glance, they would quickly pretend they are doing absolutely nothing and subtly sneak away. As a result, Su Wanwan stood at the doorway, her phoenix displaying a disdainful look as she swept across the room, finally locking eyes with Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao exchanged glances with her for a few seconds then casually looked back down to his book. Gradually, murmuring conversations filled the room. Snickering inwardly, Su Wanwan strode her way inside and found a seat to sit down. However, no sooner had she sat down than the girl sitting next to her immediately grabbed her books and left. Next, the guy sitting in front of her left too. And soon after, two more girls sitting behind her followed suit. Su Wanwan didnt really care, but to her surprise, Zhao Qianqian came over with her books. Wanwan, can I sit with you? Su Wanwan managed to give a faint smile. The more she spent time with Zhao Qianqian, the more she found her to be quite reliable. Loyal, no drama, efficient C the ideal friend! Things didnt stay idyllic for long. Zhao Qianqian suddenly nudged her, Oh no, theres a new scandal! Su Wanwan leaned over to look at the phone in her hands. Tearing-You-Down-with-No-Discussion had posted again, this time titled [Exposing the dark history of our aloof beauty! ] Inside were a few pictures of her from high school. The first one showed her wearing a white blouse and black skirt of her high school uniform but with a granny-greying short hair, heavy smokey makeup, loosely slung backpack made her look like a hooligan. The second one showed her sitting in a bar booth with Mo Weiyi. He was drinking juice while she was chugging beer, surrounded by a few young men. Both of them were dressed in popular clothes covered in skull prints. Their jeans were full of holes, and there were studs on their shoes. The third one was of her by a nightclub entrance. She had heavy makeup on and wore a red explosive wig and was fighting a punk. Su Wanwan felt a cold chill running through her spine. Oh dear. She almost gave herself a fright. How could she forget all these notorious deeds of hers? The contents of the post were as follows: [Breaking news from a reliable source! Heres the real face of your pure school beauty! She used to be a punk, a drinker, a fighter, and a flaunter of strange clothes. She was often late for school or would leave early, and was seen messing around with various men! Now that shes in college, shes started to sugar, and after earning some money, shes trying to change her image and start fresh. What a joke! Dont be fooled by her act of purity, coldness, low- profile! Its all a facade! Hypocrisy! Shameless!] Thanks to these new pictures, the comments underneath the post were getting refreshed rapidly, and Tearing-You-Down-with-No-Discussion continuously responded to them. Su Wanwan quickly looked over at Lin Qiao. She saw Lin Qiao still looking down at his book, no phone in sight. Wanwan, tell me whos this Tearing-You-Down-with-No-Discussion, Zhao Qianqian burst out in irritation, This punk is obviously not you, why are they saying its you? This is blatant defamation! Su Wanwan choked a bit, a look of awkwardness on her face, Its its me. Huh? Zhao Qianqian was totally taken aback. From behind, a round of chatters sprung up: That gall! Indeed! Her dark secrets are exposed, and she has the nerve to sit in class pretending to be a good student! Shameless! Shes been with so many men, what is shame to her? She lost that long ago, hahaha! Su Wanwan wildly whipped her head around. Seeing her look their way, the girls quickly contained their laughter and pretended to read their books. Of course, the world was never short on people who relish in others misfortunes. This was a harsh lesson that Su Wanwan had learned today. As she narrowed her eyes and prepared to get up, Zhao Qianqian grabbed her, Dont act rashly, class is about to start. Zhao Qianqian still recalled the scene when Su Wanwan taught those b*tches a lesson at the cafeteria last time and was scared that Su Wanwan might impulsively create a scene in the classroom. Especially now that Su Wanwan is under scrutiny, she would undoubtedly face punishment. Su Wanwan clenched her fist tightly as the class bell rang. She had no choice but to suppress her anger and sit back down. There were two Directors classes that afternoon. After waiting a few minutes and as the classroom started making noise again, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up from the doorway, Su Wanwan, come out. It was Su Yunrong. Su Wanwan quickly rose to her feet. As soon as she left, the classroom burst into an uproar. Is our journalism departments belle finally getting penalized? I say, she should be expelled immediately! Now that her promiscuity has been exposed, shes definitely getting expelled! Absolutely, think about the bad influence! Lin Qiao sneered, You guys are overthinking. Professor Su is Su Wanwans aunt. Do you really think shell get expelled? No sooner than she said this, the classroom was thrown into even more chaos. She should still be expelled even if her background was exposed! If not, I would be the first to object! A powerful background sure is awesome! This is a matter of conduct! She wont escape punishment, regardless of who her relatives are! Yeah, sharing a classroom with her makes even the air seem gloomy. Hahahaha! You guys are going too far! Zhao Qianqian couldnt help retorting, Dont attack her personally before things are made clear! Oh, hush! Werent you the one who was won over by Su Wanwan? Zhao Qianqian, are you this easily bought with a bag of snacks? Thats so pathetic! Lin Qiao laughed arrogantly. What are you talking about? That person is not Su Wanwan at all Everyone, quiet! Di Chenghes voice suddenly rang out. Holding a textbook, he entered the room stylishly, Class begins. Immediately, the classroom regained its silence. Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: 349, it’s more than just a liking Chapter 349: 349, its more than just a liking Translator: 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 manipulated 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 acceptable? 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 accusations. Its nonsense! Let me tell you, everything in the posts is slander. 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 relationship with Huo Jingshen. After all, he was the one who asked her to meet Huo Jingshen last 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 slander! 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-in-law 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 according to school regulations! Serious offenders will be expelled! Su Wanwan gazes at him, unsure if she should offer gracias or Alright, go back to class 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 - Chapter 350: 350, Water pipe inspection? Chapter 350: 350, Water pipe inspection? Translator: 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 his computer, 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 circulated across the ocean. Back in the classroom. 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 glance 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 class hurriedly picked up their phones. Su Wenwen also opened the forum. She saw that the previously hot threads on the forums homepage had completely 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 classroom, 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 account 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 explanation, they just deleted the post and banned the account! 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 you later. 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 place? 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 just completed the makeup, your place surely has them, help me find them now, I need to borrow one urgently. Why would I have that kind of thing at my place? 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 - Chapter 351: 351, there are thieves at home. Chapter 351: 351, there are thieves at home. Translator: 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 cabinet. 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 minutes later, 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 to come. He was broad-shouldered and muscular, almost bursting out of his black suit. When he took the bag, he actually started inspecting the contents. Dont move! Su Wanwan shouted in panic. The bodyguard looked up and explained 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 accumulate? 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 villa was large, 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 desolation 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-black room. She felt a damp, cold sensation, similar 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 somewhat come 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, the lamp 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 burglar! 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 - Chapter 352: 352, there are people above. Chapter 352: 352, there are people above. Translator: 549690339 My goodness, I need to divert the conversation quickly, By the way, have you finished your work over there? Can I come 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? Accepting gifts from men? And even indulging in someromantic antics? With every revelation, Su Wenwens heart skipped a beat. Did he know everything already? Now, not even this room can I enter? Who said you couldnt come 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 explain 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 class in the morning. Indeed, its late. Huo Jingshen wasnt an easy one to compromise. 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 to come out. Awake, sweetheart? Su Wenwen laid there, her eyes teary as she looked at him, Whats the time? Huo Jingshen glanced at his watch, Noon. Twelve oclock. What? Su Wanwans eyes widened in surprise. Noon already? How long has it been since she last slept so late? And whats most concerning is she had a morning class today, her class advisors journalism class. Did she just skip it? Ive already called in sick for you. Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but still glared 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 flashy. The last 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 but complain about him. If it werent for him consistently making her late 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 - Chapter 353: 353, Blacklist Chapter 353: 353, Blacklist Translator: 549690339 | Meanwhile, at Nancheng University. After two morning classes, Lin Qiao was about to leave the classroom when suddenly, the Dean of Students appeared at the classroom door. Is Su Wenwen here? At the mention of this name, Lin Qiao quickly looked up, Sir, Su Wenwen did not come to class 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 classmate 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 blacklist. 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 the last 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 class, whos got courage enough to be that arrogant without someone backing them up? Now that explains 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 she comes to school and see for ourselves. See what? What do you think well see? The girl said, and then laughed 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 plan 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 class 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 class 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 was completely 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 glaring 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 classroom building. As soon as she entered the classroom, 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 - Chapter 354: 354, do you need me to show you my marriage certificate? Chapter 354: 354, do you need me to show you my marriage certificate? Translator: 549690339 The counselor asked you to see him in his office. Lin Qiao said, glancing 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 class! 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 classroom, two girls got up and signaled Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao nodded, and walked over to Jian Shuhao, Shuhao, the teacher asked us class 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 relaxed 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 black tailored suit trousers. The trousers were immaculate and ironed stiff. Beneath that shone polished, dust-free black leather shoes. Upon seeing that familiar masculine face, Su Wanwan was completely stunned. ** A half-hour later, Lin Qiao arrived with the class monitor and several other class 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 class 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 glance, the two girls quickly followed suit. The class 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 black suit sitting on the sofa, with Su Wanwan on his lap. 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 explain this? Young lady, are you here voluntarily? The class teacher had already rushed in, his face very panicked, Whats going Lin Qiao hastily explained in good faith, Teacher, Su Wanwan and Director Zhou have been caught in an affair in the office! An affair? The volume of the class 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 class 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 Jingshens lap with her face red. Director Zhou. The mans voice was deep and magnetic, possessing the unique charm specific to mature men. Mr. Huo, I was wrong. The disciplinary director felt bitter in his heart and rushed to explain, 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 glared at him, Dont you know the president of Huo Yuan Group? How much you are out of touch! The male reporter was completely startled. Looking at Huo Jingshen again. He sat on the sofa, his custom-made black 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 relationship 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-in-law 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 explained, 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 to comfort 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-in-law of the Huo family would have an inappropriate relationship 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 flatter them? Couldnt they be a little less obvious with their adoration? Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: 355, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the official Chapter 355: 355, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are the official couple. Translator: 549690339 Isnt that outright brown-nosing? She sneaked a glance 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 platform for students to communicate and exchange ideas, not to spread rumors, incite malicious arguments, or even deliberately defame, slander, 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 accuse, 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 become the wife of Mr. Huo? What happened to being relatives? Su Wenwen continued, You told me the Dean wanted to see me. You then intentionally brought the homeroom teacher, class committee, 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 accusations 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 class, 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 flashed 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 relationship with other men! Exactly! The other girl hurriedly added, Its clearly you spreading malicious slander; 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 slandering 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 blame 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, accompanied 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 explained, I came that day to take the young lady shopping. Mrs. Huo and the second lady were both seated in the back. I only got out to open the car door for the young lady. 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 account I used to post. All the previous posts were made by her, I only made the last 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 nineteen 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 slander 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 slander 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 slandering you and asked me to endorse the posts. When things blew up, she gave me the account. After finishing the explanation, 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 hadnt come 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 slander 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, slandering 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 - Chapter 356: 356, Mr. Huo debuts in position C Chapter 356: 356, Mr. Huo debuts in position C Translator: 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 place at the evening gala was because Mr. Huo and the director gave you perfect scores! Can you deny you obtained those through backdoor channels? And now youre playing the innocent here? Isnt it merely because you have the Huo Family supporting you Ah! Su Wanwan slapped 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 display. Clutching her face, Lin Qiao felt a mix of pain, anger, and humiliation. Before she could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly started laughing. Her laughter 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 slander 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 accept 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 circulating false information, defaming others, damaging their reputation, and the severity of your actions amount to cyber slander. Please come with us to the police station to assist with investigations. Cyber slander? 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 too late. No, I dont want to go to the police station. Lin Qiaos panicked gaze flickered over each face before finally landing 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 blank, 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 plan, 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 violating 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 circulated, their click and forwarding rates would be astronomical! Why would they be concerned about their job performance? The jubilant 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 unrelated 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 class 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 boy compared 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 my company 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 her laughter. 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 - Chapter 357: 357, is President Huo jealous? Chapter 357: 357, is President Huo jealous? Translator: 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 classroom, 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 relative, and you admitted it yourself! Well, a husband is kind of a relative, 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, Class 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! Class 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 clarify 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 nonchalantly. 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 petulant 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 you come 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 you last 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 you come 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 but laugh. 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 black Mercedes, and a bodyguard in black 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 black 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 hour late! Mo Weiyi accused. Xiao Yebai was frowning, Ill take you home. I have to go to a club later. Ill go with you. Mo Weiyi immediately said.. Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: 358, President Xiao’s Fairy Wife Chapter 358: 358, President Xiaos Fairy Wife Translator: 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 accompany you to all your business dinners. Xiao Yebai looked at her, an emotion quickly flashing 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 glances from the waitstaff. Xiao Yebai was a regular here. As the young and successful 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 accustomed 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 female companion, 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 female companion inquired in jest, President Xiao, how come 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 accustomed 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 flavor 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 case later. And so? Mo Weiyi thought for a moment. Well be discussing a case later, 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 accompany him in the future, she had to behave better. After the juice was brought, more men successively arrived at the private room. Some were young; others were middle-aged. Without exception, they all had female companions 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 elegant lady, 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 playing cards, Ill accompany 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 accompany 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 the last one to arrive; the others had referred to him as Master Qi.. Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: 359, Mrs. Xiao’s temper is not good Chapter 359: 359, Mrs. Xiaos temper is not good Translator: 549690339 Mo Weiyi had a slight impression of him, he seemed to be the last 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 you come 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 only laughed more wildly, Oh, youve got quite a temper? Who doesnt know what kind of women come to this place? 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 female companion. 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, flawless 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 Slap a resounding slap 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. Qi laughed 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 fist landed squarely on him. The force was so great that Mr. Qi toppled backwards, colliding with a waiter serving wine. Glasses and bottles instantly shattered on the floor, causing a commotion 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 collar, and landed another hard fist on his face. Damn you Before he could finish cursing, another punch landed. 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, the commotion 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 punch landed 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 slap. Mo Weiyi rushed over and under the stare of many eyes, she slapped Mr. Qi across his face. Before the father and son could react, another slap landed. 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 glasses, a dark and ominous glint flashed 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 place, 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 relaxed 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 slapping 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 slap him? he asked. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, What? How many times have you slapped him? Twooh, no, three. It seemed like three slaps, right? She couldnt remember clearly as she was too furious then. Dirty. What? Mo Weiyi was still puzzled. After slapping another mans face, your hand is dirty, Xiao Yebais tone was indifferent. Mo Weiyi immediately replied, I will wash it later. 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 flat glasses, including every single one of his long curled eyelashes. 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 flashed in Xiao Yebais eyes. Then, he drew his thin lips into a faint smile. Hmm, he responded with a nonchalant smirk. Im serious. Mo Weiyi looked at him earnestly, And I will protect you. If Mr. Qi comes 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 surveillance cameras here which can prove it. Xiao Yebai held her hand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, Lets go home. Considering the commotion 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 - Chapter 360: 360, Weiyi: I will protect you. Chapter 360: 360, Weiyi: I will protect you. Translator: 549690339 As soon as he returned to the villa 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 was completely 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 collaboration on the construction project in the west city with Mr. Qi tonight? What happened? Xiao Yebai replied calmly, Nothing much, just a minor accident. 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 occasions! 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, come 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 class 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 black 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 from last night? He was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, laying 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 times last 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 become useless! Chairman Mo, as I said before, dont apologize. Well meet directly in court! Mo Weiyi was dumbfounded. She immediately tried to explain, Dad, you can ask the people at the club last night. Oh right, and there is also the surveillance 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 too complex to explain. 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 surveillance video from last night. But Mo Yaoxiong remained silent. Dad Do you think I havent checked? Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke. The surveillance footage from the club was deleted last 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, youre completely 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 since last night. Go back and keep him company. 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 slammed the brakes. The phone was thrown in the car. Mo Weiyi lifted her head, only to see a large 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 playing 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 - Chapter 361: 361, Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift Chapter 361: 361, Xiaobai actually took the initiative to give her a gift Translator: 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 Yebai comforted 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 Yulan, 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 Yulan 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 eviction compensation. 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 Yulan glanced 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 explanation. 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 after committing manslaughter, they want to evade responsibility by letting a bodyguard take the blame!? 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 Yulan yelled vehemently, Smash the car windows! Drag the people inside out! Somebody walked over with a large 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 growing larger, 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 glass shattering, Mo Weiyi was terrified and picked up her phone to call for help. Zhou Yulan 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 black double-breasted butler outfit, followed by a group of bodyguards dressed in black. At his order, the bodyguards pressed forward and finally managed to pull back the unruly mob. Zhou Yulan was still shouting, Youve killed someone and you try to brush it aside? The police are coming 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 Yulans 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 minutes later, local police finally arrived. Xiao Yebais car pulled up close behind. The tall and forbidding figure came straight to the black Mercedes, opened the car door, and helped Mo Weiyi out. Mr. Xiao. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyes and glanced 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 they come intending to stage an accident? 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 plan to resolve it? Xiao Yebai glanced 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 you come 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 this come 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 glance 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 villa 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 from last 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 success, she wound up tying a bun and sticking the hairpin into it.. Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: 362, it’s just too fake Chapter 362: 362, its just too fake Translator: 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 glanced 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 played on his lips, You are pretty. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but laugh, 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 but lament 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 voice lazy 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 place it in the old house? If I didnt find it, were you not planning 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 glasses. 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 placed in the wrong place. Misplaced? Yes. Xiao Yebai gave a wry smile, Are you going to school this afternoon? I think I dont have any classes, why? Xiao Yebai said, I have some matters to handle. When Im done, Ill come 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 villa 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 the land 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 with land development before but since Huo Yuan became the president, their collaboration has enhanced and their competition with us has increasingly been on a similar 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 relationship. 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 old lady, 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 villa 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 villa, Qu Yunyaos voice sounded, Sister Yiyi. Mo Weiyi stood and looked at her. Qu Yunyao came out of the villa, 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 accept it. Seeing Mo Weiyis gaze fixed on her, the smirk in Qu Yunyaos eyes deepened and she proudly declared, 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 relationship. 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 charade last 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 painting last 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 glance, 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 like last 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 each layer. 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 violated 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 accusation. Thats why she could only take action against Mo Weiyi, wanting to instill doubts about Xiao Yebai in Mo Weiyis mind, plant seeds of distrust, so when the incident takes place, 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 - Chapter 363: 363, The Wind-like Little Princess Chapter 363: 363, The Wind-like Little Princess Translator: 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 glance. However, combined 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 plan carefully. ** RongAn! On this side, Mo Weiyi came to the backyard villa and entered after a knock on the door. The in-room doctor was stunned. It was Rong An who quickly pulled a blanket over himself. Rong An! Mo Weiyi walked in, her bright cat eyes blinked, Arent you applying medicine? Why are you under a blanket? 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, laughing 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 accepting 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 BL comics 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 her laughter, 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 you come to school again today? Mo Weiyi could only tell her about what had happened at the club yesterday. She ended up lamenting, Wanwan, why am I so unlucky? Its even involving the company 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 similar. Cant he just check on that doctor and clear up everything? Thats right. Mo Weiyis eyes brightened, Then you should accompany 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 a lady 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 hospital last 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 accustomed 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 Yi complained. 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 becoming 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 slapped 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 the lawyers letter sent to Xiao Yebai at noon; he will definitely come 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 time comes, 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, laid 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 become an idiot now? Playing-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 Weiyi laughed 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-in-laws call. There was no choice, when his sister-in-law 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-in-law 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 salary account, 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 but laugh, 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 plans! But too bad, man proposes, God disposes.. What else do you have to say now? Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: 364, everyone is a businessman Chapter 364: 364, everyone is a businessman Pfft. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but laugh, 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 plans 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 of land with the Mo Family, only awaiting final contract signing and the payment of the balance. If he revoked the agreement due to last 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 collaboration 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 me last 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 collaborate 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 volatile 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 black pants. Over his dark woolen sweater, he wore a tailored black suit. His high-bridged nose supported a pair of plain glasses. 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 glasses, 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 explain 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 youve come to discuss the matter of the West City plot of land, you may leave now! If youre here to apologize for last 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 flashed in Qi Yis eyes. Before he could react, Qi Linwang had already rushed over and slapped him across the face. Bastard! When did this happen! Touching his bandaged face, Qi Yi stalled as he tried to explain, 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, completely neglecting his responsibilities. It was a rare occurrence for him to start getting involved in company 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 blackmail 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-in-law 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 planned to collaborate 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 blackmail 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 sign last night. Qi Yi couldnt hold back anymore and rushed over, Dad! Dont sign the contract with them Bastard! Qi Linwang was furious, and he slapped 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 be late. Mo Weiyi, Okay, you go ahead. Nangong Ci immediately chimed in, Little sister-in-law, 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-in-law! 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 be late. Su Wanwan didnt want to be late, 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 flashy. Su Wanwan was speechless. Fabulous. You really are the most flamboyant 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 too late, he saw a dark icon suddenly appear in the WeChat group, and then Huo Jingshen: [?] Nangong Ci hurriedly explained, [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, lacks 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 top lawyer! Irritating! Angry! Want to scratch someone! Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: 365, the first time I see such flamboyant displays of homosexuality Chapter 365: 365, the first time I see such flamboyant displays 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 class now. Sister-in-law. Nangong Ci grinningly called her back, Remember to put in a good word for me when big brother asks you later. 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 Yebai come out first, closely followed by Qi Linwang. Mr. Xiao. Qi Linwang followed changed pace, almost groveling as he placated, 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 or later. 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 player in the circle. Hes young, rich, and generous with women. But if he plays 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 person later, 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 villa 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 occurrence. Usually hes either working late or has a dinner engagement, so he rarely makes the effort to come 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 successfully 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 script later. 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. Pu come 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 delayed 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, lam full, I will go to the guest room first. Hmm. After Mo Weiyi left, Mo Yaoxiong explained, 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 similarly dark-colored woolen vest. His slim and straight figure, his sharp and cold facial features, and his look with glasses under the light all made him exceptionally gentle and jade-like. He was holding a white porcelain 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 explained, 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 you later. 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 Weiyi coming 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 slapped 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 glasses, 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 tobacco. 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 flame. She walked over and asked softly, Brother-in-law, 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 particular, 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 - Chapter 366: 366, did Xiaobai get drunk? Chapter 366: 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 calamities. 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 scent coming from him. Brother-in-law, 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 black hair that made her seem youthful and vibrant. She was currently chatting and laughing 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 regular intake for several weeks, she should naturally be able to conceive Pregnant? Mo Yaoxiong interrupted in surprise. Qu Yunyao was equally shocked. Dr. Pu laughed, 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 hearty laugh, 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 glance 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, come 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 placed 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, Congratulations, 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 explaining 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 blabbering about? I didnt get pregnant at all, dont listen to her nonsense! Old man Mo frowned deeply, looking displeased. This Qu Yunyao was only nineteen 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 blame 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 plate, 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 - Chapter 367: 367, Poke through face to face Chapter 367: 367, Poke through face to face I dont blame you for your lack 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 plate; 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 appetite lately and youve been constantly nauseous and wanting to vomit. When I asked you about it last 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 slapped 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 the last 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 slandered 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 rarely come 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 slander you with false accusations 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 accusing 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 flaming 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, glancing 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 nineteen after all. Although she had initially planned to frame Xiao Yebai with the unbom child, she hadnt set her plans 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 be laughed 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 already come to this, Xu Jing, dont be angry anymore. Although Yunyao is still young, having a child is a happy occasion after all. A happy occasion? Xu Jing lowered her head, feeling humiliated. Im sorry, I really didnt know Yunyao would do such a thing Its not your fault. Mo Yaoxiong comforted. 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 nineteen 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 the composure to let Dr. Pu continue the consultation. She immediately took her daughter back to their room. As the door closed, her face completely 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 explanation 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, Youre completely 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 my last 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 in law, 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 Chinese language, 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 - Chapter 368: 368, is it a boy or a girl? Chapter 368: 368, is it a boy or a girl? He had guessed that with her lazy 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 year later, she did get accepted 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 stimulate her ambition to conquer studying then she would devote herself totally to overcome 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 Weiyi laughed, 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 glamorous, 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 ovulation 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 classes 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 slack off once she entered university. Other than partying, she hardly went to school let alone attend classes. Xiaobai, can we compromise 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 already late November, and there were less than two months left until the end-of-semester exams. For someone like her, who hardly attended classes, 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 black 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 his computer to prepare his notes, Mr. Xiao, do you have any comments 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 but laugh. 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 occur! ** 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 villa. 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 glasses, 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 black 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 black 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 this last moment help me score within the top 10 of the class 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 class? 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 recently completed 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 villa 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 to land 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 classroom. Su Wanwan looked at her, Did you take the wrong pills? Youve actually come to listen to my English class with me? Mo Weiyi said, Xiaobai wants my English score to be in the top ten of the class at the end of this semester. The English class for juniors is general education, so its the same if I listen here. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, Top ten of the class? 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 class? By cramming for the last two months before the exam? Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: 369, Zimbabwe Chapter 369: 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 class, 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 stimulate some introverted men with unconventional means! Thats why Mo Weiyi agreed so readily last night, after all, she had a successful 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 was completely 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 accompanied her, the two went to class, 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 month later, 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 be late 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 guy laughed 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 slackers have any dignity? If you wanted dignity, would you be a slacker? Su Wanwan retorted. Just you wait, in another month, Ill definitely make it into the top ten in the class! 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 was completely 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 relax, so I cant accompany 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 morning coming 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 hour later, 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 similar to Huo Jingshens narrow eyes. Its been a while since he last saw this sassy girl. After Huo Jingshen scared him about the issue with the dress last 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, comparing 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, glaring 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 she complained, 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-in-law. The gentleman standing nearby was also stunned, this girl is Huo Zhexis sister-in-law? 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-in-law. 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 back last 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-in-law, youll be spending the rest of your life abroad.. Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: 370, die-hard brainless fans Chapter 370: 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-in-law 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-in-law? 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 flatterers 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 black tight-fitting shirt combined with a plaid skirt, crouching down on the ground, her slender legs shining particularly 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 mans compliment 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 flatterers were shocked. If this had happened to Huo Zhexi before, being splashed with a drink by a waitress, he would have slapped her in a fit of rage. Despite being generous, he was known to have a volatile 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? How comethere are so few people? A smirk appeared on Huo Jingshens lips, He has a more introverted personality. Pfft! Su Wanwan couldnt help laughing. Introverted? What even? Indeed, Lu Chenyu doesnt talk much. Every time they meet, Nangong Ci talks the most, and everyone else is relatively talkative. Only Lu Chenyu always has a poker face and hardly talks, occasionally blurting out a couple of words. If its not a proverb, then its some popular internet slang or catchphrase. Probably a typical introverted 5G surfhound. Purportedly a lawyer, shouldnt lawyers 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 glance, 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 black 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-in-law. Nangong Ci quickly corrected himself. Bloody hell. This sister-in-law 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 almost laughed 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 ninety 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 explained 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 particularly 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 account. She then looked at his fan count. My god! Over thirty million fans? When she clicked into the super topic community, the popularity 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 a lawyer 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 female companion 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 while laughing silly. -What are you laughing at? a deep, magnetic 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 place 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 playing 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 been completely 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 playing a cello, softly magnetizing, 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 playing 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, flaunting 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 - Chapter 371: 371, CP is giving out candies Chapter 371: 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 black with thin-rimmed oval glasses. He appeared cool, scholarly, 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 footsteps completely, 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 blame 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 plaid mini skirt were straight slender legs in black 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 office lady. 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 a large 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 were laughing 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 magnetic 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 die laughing. She immediately hit the follow button. Sister-in-law, 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 playing 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 black as the bottom of a pot. Finally, after the song was over, Ming Jing was clapping 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-in-law, lets sing this one. Chen Keyus Uncommon Words. Su Wanwan said, Ill sing the beginning. Nangong Ci again: The music began. Su Wenwen sang, Our Chinese characters, written down, they become 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 was laughing uproariously, Su Wanwan was laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking, only Huo Jingshen. His face was as black as a Bao Zheng, as if he was isolated. Generation gap! Do you have it or not! After finishing the second song, Nangong Ci was energized, Sister-in-law, 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 made last 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 relax? 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 black. The car door closed, other miscellaneous 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 place? 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 black 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 - Chapter 372: 372, license plate number Chapter 372: 372, license plate number Little sister-in-law. 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 play dumb with me, I saw it with my own eyes. I recognized big brothers license plate number clearly, N696969, a black Bentley. Su Wanwan: Hehehe. Nangong Ci laughed 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, glaring 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-in-law, 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 flashy 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, occasionally 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 black 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, coming 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 calculated 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 old lady, half an hour had already passed. This caused Nangong Cis handsome face to twitch uncontrollably. 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 accompany 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 black sweater and a pair of slim black 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 inevitably landed 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 alas 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 glance 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 - Chapter 373: 373, Secretary during the Year of the Rabbit Chapter 373: 373, Secretary during the Year of the Rabbit The next day, Huangyou made an investment. Around eleven oclock noon, assistant Xiaoliu glanced at the time and came over, Sister Shi, the weather is great outside today. Lets go to New World for clay pot rice. Todays daily soup seems to be black chicken soup, it seems to be on sale. Sure. Shi Huan turned off her document and stood up. Im coming 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-popular 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 glasses, 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 glamorous 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 the company, wearing a fine black coat, with his long legs straight and upright. No different from his usual, still impeccable, 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 her composure, nodded busily and greeted, Good noon, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuangs sharp eyes narrowed and fell directly on her face. She held a long black down jacket in her hand, and was wearing an unchanged black suit throughout the year. Still the same shoulder-length hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses large 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 know later 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 salary, 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 black 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 you last 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, last 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 room last night! Since Mr. Chu is in the office now, it means that you made it home safely last 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 about last 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 becauselast 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, last night wasnt my first. If she hadnt said that, Chu Xiuhuang would have been less annoyed. Now he got up from his chair and slammed 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 seconds later, she lowered her head, Im sorry, Mr. Chu, would you like me to get a band-aid for you? No! Need! Chu Xiuhuang glared 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, Ill come to the office at nine in the morning and leave at five in the afternoon. Ill attend all the company 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 about last months fund flow. At three, its training for new secretaries. At four, were discussing the property launch 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 about last 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 was last with a woman! Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: 374, Forced to conduct business to make a Chapter 374: 374, Forced to conduct business to make a living It was past three in the afternoon when Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan left the company, 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 not comfortable 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 villa 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 a common 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 her common brand products. She had once accompanied 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 slammed 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 minutes later, 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 collaborating 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 glance, 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 been completely impossible in the past. Chu Xiuhuang was notably hygienic, even female companions 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 glanced 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 jubilation. Her face lit up instantaneously, her eyes filled with a layer of unspoken sentiment, her voice laden with charm, I didnt expect that Mr. Chu would remember me. This was completely unexpected and flattering. 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 flatter. 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 only compliment women I admire, like Miss Shen. Shen Bingbings laughter fluttered uncontrollably, 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, completely different from the rumors. She had always believed that in Nancheng, among the wealthy families, men like Huo Jingshen, who were handsome and classy, 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. By comparison, 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 her laptop, she was just about to check the questions she was going to present but was constantly interrupted by laughter. Most of them were the high-spirited, flirty voices of women, occasionally accompanied 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 female companion in the past, he would have found it absolutely banal, why is he so enthusiastic about her today? Has he become desperate? Thinking about the kiss last night It must be it. Due to Chus old mans intensive arrangement of blind dates, she indeed hadn t arranged any female companions for Chu. Even at Chus old mans birthday banquet, it was her who accompanied him. Shi Huan quickly opened her planner and wrote in delicate handwriting,. Starting today, make reservations for female companions 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 planning departments. Hello, everyone. Huo Jingshen scanned the room. Finally, his gaze landed 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 to come 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 a comment? 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 glanced intentionally at Shi Huan beside him, Its a black bunny! Shi Huan: Chapter 375 - Chapter 375: 375, so charming and enticing Chapter 375: 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 Xiuhuang laughed, 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 playing it at home. Pffft!1 Ji Jie burst into laughter as he understood the joke. The others also cough,cough,cough! They were struggling to suppress their laughter. 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 glare. 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 the company. By tomorrow morning at the latest, I will send an email to your inbox. Theres no need to rush. Huo Jingshen glanced 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 glared 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 classmates out for dinner tonight. Going out to dinner with students? Chu Xiuhuang burst into laughter, 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, nonchalantly. 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 black 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 was coming from the back, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuangs temples pulsed twice. Damn it. Why is this flirty woman still here? Shen Bingbing sweetly explained, Something came up at home for one of my subordinates, so I need to return to the company. 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 the company, 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 black suit and black-framed glasses was enough to scare off ninety-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 slammed 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 placid, Mr. Chu likes to have a drink after finishing his work. Oh. Shen Bingbing felt absolutely deflated, 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 important company events. So Shen Bingbing immediately cheered up again. When she got back to the company, 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 Jingshen last 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 vaccinated 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 newcomer, 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 exclaimed 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 glared 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 the company. 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, relaxed and casual, wore a black 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, hes coming 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 classmates 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 classmates for helping clear up the forum posts last time. Please! That incident had already happened a month ago! Also, because Huo Jingshen had specifically instructed at the time, the disciplinary notice later 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 splashed 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 class started paying her compliments 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 uncomfortable 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, magnetic and gentle, making their hearts flutter. They were publicly displaying 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 classmates from my class. Chapter 376 - Chapter 376: 376, Yan dog Huo total Chapter 376: 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 was comparing 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 relatable ** 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 place yesterday. Then they discussed preparations for the final exam. The restaurant was located quite far away, and lastly, they started talking about the intern field trip next semester. I heard Professor Wang saying that they plan to take the two classes to Sanya for a field trip this year! Sanya? Seriously? I heard they went to Mount Tai last 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 uncomfortable 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 welcome them, Big Brother. Then, he looked at Su Wanwan standing beside and greeted her with a conflicted look, Hello, sister-in-law. This was the first time Chu Shiwu had seen the so-called sister-in-law 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 eccentric 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 forthcoming 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 finding common 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 belatedly realized something was off. Images from last night started playing on a loop in her mind Im going back to school! she immediately blurted out. You should come home on weekends. But I left some stuff in the classroom. Ask a classmate 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 glared at him, Are you tricking me on purpose? In your eyes, am I that kind of husband who always tries to trick you into coming home? Huo Jingshen asked with righteous indignation. Yes. Su Wanwan responded naturally. Huo Jingshen: Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: 377, Home with a Cute Wife Chapter 377: 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 accompany 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 plate 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 to come home. Mrs. Huo: Hes even using a five-year-old child in order to get his wife to come home? What absolute idiocy! So when Old Liang drove Fu Ziyang away, Mrs. Huo lifted the phone and severely chastised someone again. * * Imperial Court villa. 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 Festival comes, 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 things later. 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 just come 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 so comfortable 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 glanced 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-in-law? Shes preparing for her final exam. He lied through his teeth. You f*cking bastard! Nangong Ci exclaimed, You know, after your phone call last night, my mother hasnt stopped nagging me for an entire day. Im hanging up. No, invite your little sister-in-law to come 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 the laziness 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 accompany Ziyang to his parent-child gathering today? Why didnt you wake me up? Were already late. 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 phone last 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 to come to pick strawberries today? Not going. But we have a writing assignment on what we did. Fu Ziyang glanced 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 place. But last night, Huo Jingshen had specifically asked him to come 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 glanced at the time. It was already 10:40 in the morning and they were still sleeping? This * * Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan didnt come downstairs until noon. After finishing the lunch prepared by the maids, Huo Jingshen started speaking, Ziyang, your Auntie was too lazy 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 - Chapter 378: 378, national goddess, mom? Chapter 378: 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 glared 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 up late 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 glared 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 cinema last time. Meanwhile, Su Wanwan was busy looking up information. She first found the movies introduction and glanced 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 classrooms 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 glances 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 applause, Su Wanwan finally woke up. Rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning, she complained, 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 welcome 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 was completely stunned. The stage was already occupied 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 please come 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 - Chapter 379: 379, small person, big mind Chapter 379: 379, small person, big mind The host reacted the fastest, holding up his microphone and saying, Kid, hasnt your mom come to get you? His eyes then signaled for Su Wanwan to quickly take the child away. Su Wanwan was utterly flabbergasted as she pulled Fu Ziyang along, Ziyang, come 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 Ziyang lay 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 flashbulbs wouldnt stop popping off, as a barrage of questions bombarded them. Miss, what is your relationship 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 explain 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 clamped 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 similar! Can the host explain this? The host: God. Who was he supposed to ask? He was just a stand-in host hired last 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-planned 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 fans complaining 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 glaring 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 glanced 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 uncomfortable. 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 the lady 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 - Chapter 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 relationship 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 in layers 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 popular 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, finally landing 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 successful 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 glared at the retreating woman, then started glaring at Huo Jingshen. Whats wrong? Huo Jingshen chuckled, about to take her small hand when she slapped it away, Flaunting 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 to comfort him, Ziyang, dont worry, your mom will definitely come to find you. Fu Ziyang was still depressed, Then why hasnt she come 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 accompany 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 Wanwan come? 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 accompany 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 minutes later, 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 black. 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 similar, 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 black 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 slapped his hand away. You think you could have come 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 - Chapter 381: 381, Weiyi checking post: Check if there are any women’s hair. Chapter 381: 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 size larger 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. The last time she saw her with Xiao Yebai, she was wearing a black knitted sweater and a plaid 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 and composed. Regardless, it was clear she belonged to the category of urban white-collar 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 more comfortable and approachable. When she took out a black card from her bag, Su Wanwan was even more astonished. Up until now, she knew of only one woman who used a black 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 using company 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 black 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 unusually lately? No. Mo Weiyis voice was sweet and innocent. Ive been working hard to learn English every day recently, so to not disturb me, he comes home late and even works overtime on the weekends. You call that not unusual? Su Wanwan was speechless, So, what time does he usually come home? Generally after nine, because before nine a tutor comes 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 black 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 villa. 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 dont come home and have dinner with me? Doesnt the teacher have to make up the class? That wont interfere with our dinner together, you come back and keep me company later, 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 her lap, but she had barely turned a page since sat down. When she heard the engine sound coming 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 just come in from the cold outside. Xiaobai, let me help you, Mo Weiyi offered to help him take off his coat. Xiao Yebai glanced 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 tobacco 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 black and white cat-like eyes blinked, about to speak Shes a classmate from the American Institute. A classmate? Yes, Xiao Yebai lowered his head, behind the glasses, 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 classmates. This man, who always acted like a loner and rarely had friends, and never had any female friends, suddenly introduced a female classmate from America? Really strange! Xiao Yebai lazily lifted his eyelids and gave her a nonchalant glance, Similar to your male classmate 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 glanced 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 - Chapter 382: 382, Xiaobai’s Female Research Institute Classmate Chapter 382: 382, Xiaobais Female Research Institute Classmate 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 glanced 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 returned late 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 too late, 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 the companys anniversary coming 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 class. 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 classroom. One was of a girl standing at the classroom 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 umbrella. 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 black trousers. He had fair skin, a high, straight nose with a pair of glasses with thin black 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 place, 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 a large 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 one last glance 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 a large 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 villa, 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 to come 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 class within a month. So, she negotiated with Zhong Kai to see if Chen Jin could come 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 exclaimed 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 to compose herself, and then calmly said, I just took the IELTS, and I plan 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 might come 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 blankly. 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 ringing coming 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 Weiyi commanded, 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 so late. 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 villas gate. She had short black hair and wore a blank expression, her thin black 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 - Chapter 383: 383, the carefree Little Princess Chapter 383: 383, the carefree Little Princess As soon as the car left the villa, 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 villa 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 their last 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 I last 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 becoming 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 villa, dressed impeccably 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, and complained 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 glasses, making his handsome features even sharper. Briefly closing his eyes, he said, You go upstairs first. Oh. Mo Weiyi glared 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 blazing with crazed fury, If it werent for you, would I end up like this? Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes dismissively, too lazy 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 never come 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 hour later. Mo Weiyi was sprawled out on the large 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 textbook lay 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 relative 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 flag-raising ceremony. During the ceremony, the students around her kept glancing at her and discussing among themselves. The usually majestic and charming school beauty seemed to have completely 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 flag-raising ceremony, Mo Weiyi headed straight for the journalism department building. On Monday morning, Su Wanwan had two English classes. That meant she get to sit-in again! As she walked into the classroom, the other students were already accustomed to her habit of visiting frequently, so they didnt react much. The two of them took their usual seats by the window. However, the class 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 classroom in silence. To her surprise, as soon as she got into the elevator, the class 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 class 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 class 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 wearing large sunglasses 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 class teacher nodded, turned around, and left. As soon as the door closed, the woman lifted her hand to remove her sunglasses, 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 relationship 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 relationship 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 glances, 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 - Chapter 384: 384, bribery in secret, unworthy to be a mother. Chapter 384: 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 was last 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 playful 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 explained, 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 actually come 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 very complicated, 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 year later. 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 was last 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 clarify 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 reporters come 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 glanced 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 account 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 necklace. -Because everything happened so suddenly, I didnt have time to raise more money This necklace 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 clang 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 necklace worth four to five million, with an additional 5 million to be added later, 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 slap 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 collapsed 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-in-law 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 necklace, you should have taken them first! Take it to buy toys, snacks for Ziyang, anything! Deal with other things later. 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 having come downstairs. He was wearing a dark navy coat, his black 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 class. Speak up if something is bothering you. Di Chenghe spoke softly, full of concern, I saw what happened at the forum last 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 - Chapter 385: 385, the tigress is investigating strictly Chapter 385: 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 forum last time. Though the innocent can stand tall, you should have clarified 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 become a shy, timid female classmate. Thankyou, teacher. Su Wanwan held onto her polite manners. I have to go back to class now. Di Chenghe laughed, 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 suppressed laughs. 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 classroom, 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 class? 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 class? Mo Weiyi immediately sat up straight, not daring to act up again. The English class 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, the compensation 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, accompanied by several company managers and his assistant, JiJie. Just as the wine was flowing, his smartphone rang. After a glance 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 glass 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 his composure, 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 they come looking for me? Do you know she gave me a check for a million on the spot and a pearl necklace 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 Zixi comes 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 quiet laugh, 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 the last 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 classroom 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 class teachers voice. Has everyone handed in the weekends essay homework to the class 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 organize competitions, 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 are coming 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 play with you when the time comes. 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 play with Prince Bo together then! FuZiYang: Could we not always include that chubby little boy every time we play? This third wheel was really annoying! ** Huangyou Investments. The Secretarys Office. Secretary Shi, your courier. A front desk lady came over and put down a parcel. What did you buy, Miss Shi? Shi Huan was studying a document on her computer 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 - Chapter 386: 386, disliked by others Chapter 386: 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 he coming in from nine to five, but he also attended all kinds of meetings big and small. This threw the whole company into a state of unease, even suspecting that he was planning to lay off staff at the end of the year. After all, many unscrupulous bosses liked to do this. They could save a large sum of year-end bonuses and social insurance payments, then hire cheaper newcomers 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 particular. Mr. Chu, do you need anything from me? However, Chu Xiuhuang glanced 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 accompany the little miss to her classs hot spring trip this weekend, Shi Huan had been too busy with work to go shopping lately. So, she ordered a swimsuit online a few days ago. Actually, it was just a very conservative black one-piece swimsuit, she had no idea why when it was delivered, the description on the package was so sensational? However, she was too lazy to explain 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 welcome. 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 it later 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 plans this weekend. Plans? 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 trousers combo. 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 seconds later, complaints 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 the companys 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 nonchalant 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 accompanying 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. Accompanying 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 intercom, 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 female companion, 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, accentuating her good figure. If he brought her out it wouldnt be embarrassing at all, right? Bang! Chu Xiuhuang slammed 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 receipts later, 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 female companions for me? Chu Xiuhuang thumped the table with each word, the accusation 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 accompany 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 female companion she chose, she would always accompany him instead. But your outfit isnt acceptable, Chu Xiuhuang began to nitpick again, Change into a skirt, dont tarnish the image of Huangyou. Shi Huan pushed her glasses up, Mr. Chu, I am but a secretary. Secretaries also represent the image of the company. Im not comfortable wearing skirts. Then start getting used to it now. Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: 387, deliberately annoying me Chapter 387: 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 played 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 women competed in beauty and charm. In the past, Chu Xiuhuang would always bring a female companion to such events, be it an internet 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 black A-line skirt that matched her black suit. The skirts length reached her knees and was impermeable, making her look old-fashioned. Whats worse, she wore thick black 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 black? Chu Xiuhuang asked, genuinely curious and raising an eyebrow. She wore black suits year-round, and most of her other clothes were also black. Shouldnt a girl her age like dressing up like Mo Weiyi, prefer brightly coloured, flashy clothes? Black is versatile. Shi Huans reply was straightforward. Chu Xiuhuang: After a while. Secretary Shi, take off your socks later. Shi Huan quickly glanced 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 nonsense come 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 incomprehension. In the end, it was Chu Xiuhuang who compromised. 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 glad 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 stockings completely, 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 black stockings from under her skirt, bit by bit. Especially in the end, she lifted her leg, under her black 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 women coming 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 black 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 planning to wait for Chu Xiuhuang quietly, and then accompany him for the banquet. However Shi Huan? Shi Huan looked up and saw the newcomer. She had to stand up. Ms. Chu. Chu Jingyi was wearing a red evening gown that accentuates 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 other company, I guarantee your income 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 accustomed 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 - Chapter 388: 388, do you despise me this much? Chapter 388: 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 accompanied 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 black 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 female companion? 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 blaming 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 exclamation, Shi Huans shoulder was already held by a strong hand, the mans firm and tight heat transferring to her. Chu Xiuhuang placed one hand on her shoulder, pulling her close beside him. He lifted his chin and spoke with his cold, proud lips, Miss Shi is my companion for tonight. Disrespecting her means disrespecting me. So, sister, are you trying to slap 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 blame 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 scholastic 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 accept 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 uncomfortable. 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 quite comfortable in this position. In public, its usually the female companion 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 loosely lay on her shoulder, it was very comfortable, 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 seconds later, 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 odd lately? 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 black suit made her look even more delicate and beautiful, her mid-length black hair that hadnt been styled, hung down either side of her face, glowing softly under the light. But her face was almost completely covered by her hairstyle and black-frame glasses. 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 flashed 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 flashed before her eyes, and her biack-framed glasses fell into Chu Xiuhuangs hand. Without the cover of the dark-rimmed glasses, 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 flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldnt catch them Then, Shi Huan had reacted. She quickly snatched the black-framed glasses from Chu Xiuhuangs hand and hastily put them back on. Why did you take off my glasses? she asked angrily. Chu Xiuhuangs eyebrows twitched, and he coughed lightly before responding, Why would you wear such fake-looking glasses when you clearly dont have myopia? He had seen nearsighted people wearing glasses before, which had degrees circled on the lens, which Shi Huans glasses 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 newcomer, she immediately nodded with a light smile, Mr. Huo. The one who arrived was Huo Jingshen. In his meticulously tailored black 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 necklace? Last time, Huo Jingshen bought a jade necklace, 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 - Chapter 389: 389, Declaring Sovereignty? Chapter 389: 389, Declaring Sovereignty? Who would have thought [So, the sweetheart wants to wear a wedding ring with her husband to stake her claim?] 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 glass cabinet, with a smirk, said seductively, You, come 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, this comes 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 to come 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, lavishing 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 glance at him, Wrap it up for me. The staff, who was about to hand one of the ladies 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 accept 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 black-rimmed glasses, 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, not coming home, couldnt even make it to bed, and hes talking about Together forLifeshh! He looked down at his black 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 accident. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched, Huh. If youre going to claim it was an accident, 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 glanced at Chu Xiuhuang again, launching 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 minutes later. Looking at Huo Jingshen taking his victorious leave with a triumphant back, Chu Xiuhuangs face was as black 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 display with his other hand as if he owned the place, and in an overbearing tone, I will take everything in this display 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 - Chapter 390: 390, the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area Chapter 390: 390, the man who contracted the jewelry exhibition area Yes, here! Now! I bought it all! Chu Xiuhuang stressed every word, and raised both comers 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 applauded, and women screamed. Shi Huan stood there, completely dumbfounded. ** The next morning, the internet slowed to a crawl as a variety of flashy headlines flooded the front pages of all major gossip forums. [Chus Eldest Young Master, the man who hired the entire jewelry exhibition area!] [Splashing 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 Districts compound. 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 playing 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 flares, Yangs family gets the commanders 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 young ladyWhy 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 with last night? Dont use your secretary as a shield every time you get into some scandalous situation with women! Shes a decent young lady, not like those cheap women you hang out with! You tormented her sister once, isnt that enough? Are you planning 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 the company, without her, could you live the life you have today? Hurry up and clarify the news, how will the Shi family view us otherwise? Heh. Chu Xiuhuang offered no comment. 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 but laugh, 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 accident on the third ring road. They made it to the school just in time to avoid being late after the arduous drive. After getting out of the car, Shi Huan held an umbrella in one hand and Luoluos with the other, and ran to the school entrance. She held up a little umbrella for the little girl and handed it to her, Alright, go to class. Shi Luoluo held the fringed little umbrella, 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 accompanied 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 black 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 class. Shi Luoluo looked behind her, Fu Ziyang! Shi Huan turned and saw Fu Ziyang walking over. Dressed in a thick camouflage down jacket, wearing the schools uniform underneath, he held a little black umbrella, his expression as solemn as the umbrella 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 black 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 black umbrella, the woman standing under it. Over her red dress, she wore a large black down jacket. It was raining and the sky was gray, she had sunglasses 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 umbrella. 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 class first, dont be late. But Shi Luoluo was torn. She didnt want to be late, 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 class first, Ill come 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 - Chapter 391: 391, Fu Ziyang has been kidnapped? Chapter 391: 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 claimed he didnt intentionally deceive him, heh. Ziyang, I, Lu Zixi began. I have to go to class now. Fu Ziyang checked his tiny watch. He was about to be late. 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 you come with me to a place? 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 black 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 accessories 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 Ci laughed 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 glance. 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 - Chapter 392: 392, Burning Bridges Chapter 392: 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 blatantly searching and guessing. Huo Jingshen said. Then where is my mom? Fu Ziyang asked. She will come to find you after a while. Uncle Huo, youre not lying to me, are you? Why do you always say that? Why cant she come 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 popular right now, my dad was even watching her TV show a few days ago, complimented 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 accounts 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 resemblance 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, completely devoid of her usual glamour 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 to come 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 black coat which was casually opened to reveal a dark woolen sweater with a snippet of a crisp white shirt peeking out from the collar. It was very neat, completely spotless. He was tall, with sculptured handsome features and a pair of deep black 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 lam Huo Jingshen. At his words, Zan Song immediately froze. His speculation 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 arrived late, only Su Wanwan and Fu Ziyang were in the photo taken that day. Unexpectedly She immediately asked, Whats your relationship with Miss Su? And whats your relationship with Ziyang? You dont need to know my relationship with Ziyang but what can be confirmed is that you have no relationship with Ziyang. Huo Jingshens tone was flat but carried an undeniable meaning. He then placed the folder he was holding on the table. As for this file, its closely related 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 clanging 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 glanced 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, come 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 uncomfortable 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 explain, Big brother, you must not misunderstand, we havent done anything. Huo Jingshen stood at the door, his black coat emitting a cold glow. His handsome face was full of aloofness and disgust, Im leaving. Big brother, let me accompany you. Nangong Ci quickly followed, at the same time glaring 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 glanced at the time, left the hospital, and drove directly to Nancheng University. After parking, he sent a WeChat message to his little girl. [Baby, come 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 storage compartment and pulled out a red jewelry box. When the lid was opened, a diamond ladys 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 black 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 umbrella 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 played hardball with his friends! Normally when he took her out for a meal, they basically went to that place, even last time when they invited classmates to dinner. Although the taste was good and the environment was comfy, 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 accompanied 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 - Chapter 393: 393, cliched encounter, catching a cheat! Chapter 393: 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 flabbergasted. After all, because Mr. Huo is the elder brother of their boss, the boss had specifically instructed that whenever Mr. Huo comes to dine, it would be free of charge. But The more one talks, the more likely one is to make a mistake. With that, he laughed 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, accompany 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. Ill come to see you tomorrow! Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, No! Why not? Didnt you say last 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 to laugh, 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 similarities 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 glanced 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 classes 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 the latest design from Yallol. I have one too, but mine is pink. The black one she carried looked pretty good, I think Ill buy one when I get back. How much is it? When I checked last 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 explained, 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 things last 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 old lady 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 woman last time? I did, Mo Weiyi responded innocently, He said Tian Ye was his classmate 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 become so quiet? He raised an eyebrow. Just as he picked up the teapot. No! There was a bang as Mo Weiyi slammed 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 of law 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 accompany 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 - Chapter 394: 394, who dares to hit me? Chapter 394: 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, laughing innocently and purely. The woman quickly turned to her daughter, Xiaoye, whats going on? Isnt Yebai your boyfriend? How did he become someone elses husband? Huh? Tian Yes gentle face had turned from white to red, her eyelashes 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 explain, opened her mouth, but didntknow where to start. Boyfriend? Mo Weiyi looked at Tian Ye with her clear cat eyes, laughing, Heh, Miss Tian, when did my husband become your boyfriend? Can you explain 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 planning to get married next year? How did he become someone elses husband? Whats going on? Explain 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 glance. 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 Yebais lawful wife! Hiding Xiao Yebais presence beforehand, asking him to come out for dinner with her and her mother, was already nerve-wracking enough. Having everything laid 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 relationship 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 relationship for years. They had plans on building a future in America, but now shes come 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 planning to buy us a house! Mo Weiyis laugh 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 classmate 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 relationship 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 your comeuppance! I will kill you! I most definitely will kill you today! With that, she lunged at Mo Weiyi with claws 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 accountable 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, clawing 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 accidental, she even knocked over the chair while falling, causing a loud clang. 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 flat, How did you come 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 classmate from America is seriously vain, isnt she? Did she deliberately trick you into coming for dinner? Fortunately, I arrived just in time, otherwise, you wouldve become someone elses boyfriend! Even planning to get married, what a joke! Shes fit for that? Chapter 395 - Chapter 395= 395, Wedding Ring Chapter 395= 395, Wedding Ring Mo Weiyi is truly angry just thinking about it, Isnt your American classmate just too vain? Did she deliberately trickyou into having dinner. Fortunately, arrived in time, otherwise you would have already become someone elses boyfriend! And shes even making plans 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, accompany me to eat. Mo Weiyi wrinkles her nose, But I dont want to eat here, lets find another place. The thought of that mother and daughter still in the private dining room completely 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, Ill come 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 the last spoonful of soup, Im full. She wiped her mouth, stood up, ready to leave, Lets go, I have class 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 whim last 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 a command. Ah? Su Wanwan instantly lifted her head, her little face alarmed, 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 from last 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 on last 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 diamond ladies ring on her left ring finger. Nangong Ci:[Damn! Ah! My eyes! My eyes are blinded! Blinded by this flashy 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 occupied 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 black office desk, his phoenix eyes full of dissatisfaction. Until his phone rang again. Seeing the incoming call display, 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 becomes part of our family, should I call him my granddaughter-in-law 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 declared, 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 accept this unconventional love. If I lie, may I be struck down by five thunderbolts! Chu Xiuhuang angrily slammed 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 call later. 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 collapsed into his chair, tilting his head and smacking his lips, seemingly lost in thought. Minutes and seconds ticked by. About half an hour later, he suddenly stood up. He opened the office door, the hallway outside was silent. It was just after twelve in the afternoon, the companys 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 center last night! Yeah, how much did that jewelry cost? According to the newspaper, the media has calculated 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 jewelry last night and I happened to be accompanying him. So he pulled me along to create this publicity stunt. I guess you could call it a form of the companys 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 accompanying 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 relaxation 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 female companions 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 - Chapter 396: 396, you want to get rid of him? Chapter 396: 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 a laugh, his attractive fingers picked up a lighter, and lit up a cigarette. Whisps of smoke rose in the office. Soon, a scent of tobacco 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 Xiuhuang laughed, Do you think, youre so smart and capable, no other woman can compare to you? Shi Huan picked up her pen and while writing she said, CEO Chu is overthinking. Overthinkings Chu Xiuhuang continued to laugh, 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 must come 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 tobacco 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 as composed 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 successfully 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 fair complexion, as though a layer of rouge had been applied to it. It was incredibly appealing. Chu Xiuhuang hadnt forgotten the fleeting glimpse hed had when he removed her glasses that day. Unlike her usual traditional, old-fashioned style, Shi Huan without glasses 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 glasses, 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 her laptop up to shield her face. She finally felt a bit at ease. But Chu Xiuhuang was displeased. He gave a contemptuous glance at that bothersome laptop 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 her commitment 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. Her laptop 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 was coming 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 be composed, 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, her laptop was left in Chu Xiuhuangs office. She maintained her composure, 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 the company? She glanced 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 plain-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 available. 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 available 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 glance, only to find his gaze, as if looking to kill, met hers. Shi Huan again: Uh. Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: 397, Baby-faced female doctor Chapter 397: 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 was completely 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 declared word byword, I need to go to the hospital for treatment. Everyones expressions instantly became even more horrified. As for Shi Huan Its late, Im scared of becoming 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, becoming impotent that cant be possible, right? Such a handsome man, if he really couldnt perform, she would have to rethink her plans. 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 tobacco 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 Xiuhuang commanded 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 hour later, 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 place. 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 discomfort 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 nonchalantly. 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 to come She nearly fell into despair! Chu Xiuhuang laughed 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, slapped his large 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 status compared to them? Chu Xiuhuang: Its true, the Nangong Family had the most women, which was why Nangong Ci, the young master, was so popular. So he said, Wait here. Chu Xiuhuang took out his mobile phone and directly called Nangong Ci, succinctly 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 been coming out from the neighboring specialist clinic, but Chu Xiuhuang had not come 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 accompany 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 to come 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 but laugh 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 relationship 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 to laugh. 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-class VIP ward. Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: 398, cut off the offspring Chapter 398: 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 flamboyant 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 her laughter. 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 Xiuhuang laid down on the bed and started negotiating, Whats the plan? 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 glared 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 explained, The company is very busy every day, and I cant take time off. All company operations can be paused. Why? The boss is on the verge of becoming 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 the company, she had been working there for five years and had given all her efforts. The development of the company 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 the company, I can do what I want. If you dont agree, Ill declare 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 planning 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 black coat with a dark plush sweater. The matching dark tie hung elegantly at the collarbone 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 glare 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 flashy. However, Huo Jingshen hinted, Dont worry, your husband is very strong and can last 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 accident? 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 glanced at her, Ill send him a red envelope later. 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-in-law. 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 his law 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 accusing, Big brother, you and your wife just came empty-handed? I remember when the young lady was hospitalized last 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-in-law 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 he lacking 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-in-law. 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 carefree laughter 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 clash with the number 11! * * Inside the bathroom, Su Wanwan heard the laughter coming 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 - Chapter 399: 399, too embarrassed to see people Chapter 399: 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 the large plate 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 plate in front of Chu Xiuhuang, glanced 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 display 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 claimed that Chu Xiuhuang had injured himself. And now Chu Xiuhuang was claiming his hands were sore. In a flash, 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 to communicate 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 relatives, both known and unknown, to Su Wanwan. Among them, Su Wanwan recognized only Chu Shiwu and Chu Jingyi. Upon laying eyes on Su Wanwan, Chu Jingyi immediately turned away her attention with a cold demeanor. Bigbrother, sister-in-law. Chu Shiwu, however, greeted them politely. Su Wanwan remembered her classmate Wu Ying, who, since their last 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-in-law, 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-in-law, 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, come out with me. Su Wanwan was bewildered. Chu Shiwu, on the other hand, was visibly distressed. If he had known earlier that Huo Jingshen was coming to visit his brother, he would have never come with his parents. Thanks to Huo Jingshens command last time, he had had to accompany a few of his female classmates 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, completely flabbergasted 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-in-law was two years younger than him, for goodness sake! Huo Jingshen nodded, seemingly content. Ill take your sister-in-law home first, explain to Grandpa for me. Okay, goodbye brother, goodbye sister-in-law! Chu Shiwu was waving off them off energetically likehe was bidding farewell to a plague. 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 glance. The 10th floor was the psychiatric department? What kind of bigshot has Mo Xiaose gotten tangled up with now? ** Lishui Bay Villa. 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 eyelashes were long and curled, her cheeks filled with youthful collagen, and her side profile almost flawless. She really was very beautiful, a good match for her husband. A handsome mans face appeared in Chen Jins mind. Since that fleeting glimpse last 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 similar to disdain began to rise in Chen Jins heart. She had been tutoring Mo Weiyi for a whole month now, but she was really incompetent! 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 salary 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 particularly 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 villa, 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 magnet, 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, glanced 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 accelerated, her nose even picking up a faint smell of tobacco 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 - Chapter 400: 400, Monk Chapter 400: 400, Monk When she returned to the study, Mo Weiyi was still grappling with the problems. About twenty minutes later, 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 by layer, 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 class? 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 in comprehension 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 accept fate! People are born unequal, no matter how sour or unpalatable 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 plans 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 getting late, 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 Villa 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 relaxed 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 available 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 glance, 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 relationship, 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 minutes later, 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, late 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 his computer. He had taken a shower and was in a dark blue robe. Wearing his signature glasses and focusing intently on his work, he looked peaceful, refined, and insanely attractive. Mo Weiyi strolled over and muttered, Xiaobai, my English tutor just complimented 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 to comfort 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 vocabulary. I dont believe I cant succeed, Hard work is the way to success. Hard work is the way to success? 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 clasped 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 become so passionate? Earlier, when she tried to tease him, he was like an untouchable monk, completely focused on his work In just a few seconds, he seemed to have transformed Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: 401, Improper thoughts Chapter 401: 401, Improper thoughts As the golden sunlight spread across the land, the rays gradually slanted with the passage of time, passing through layers of curtains, and finally fell on one corner of the bed. On the violet carved lavish bed, Mo Weiyis exquisitely arched eyebrows wrinkled and his closed catlike eyes slowly opened. There was a moment of blankness 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 blanket 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 alarm clock, he nearly lost it. Half past nine? He urgently threw off the blanket. This is bad, he had English class at nine in the morning. The professor mentioned last time that he would take attendance and check homework today. Those who are late 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 alarms 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 classroom, the second class 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 arrive late, the old professor furrowed his brows and angrily said, What time is it now? With a loud bang1, he slammed a duster onto the table, making the entire classroom shake three times. Is this how you law students attend classes? Arriving late, skipping classes, and turning in late The second class 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 being late, what else are you ashamed of! Therefore Mo Weiyi! The old professors hand shook, he adjusted his glasses, put down his pen, muttered, Unbelievable! Come in and start studying! Mo Weiyi: Everyone: * * After class, 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 class not enough, now she wanted to bother him? Mo Weiyi walked up to him, innocently asked: Teacher, I missed the first class today and missed out on the earlier part of the lecture, could you explain 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 minutes later, the classroom 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 so complicated? 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 explain, Miss Mo, Yebai and I are really just classmates. 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 to come 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 uncomfortable in her heart after returning home last night. The doctors said she needed a heart transplant 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 relatives. 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 transplant 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 but laugh, If you already knew he wouldnt agree, then why come 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 Weiyi laughed 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 classmates at the American Institute, you must be an intellectual, right? Are intellectuals these days so fond of moral blackmail? 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 blame 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 me last 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 - Chapter 402: 402, not falling for this Chapter 402: 402, not falling for this Miss Mo Her phone rang, Mo Weiyi tookit out and glanced 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 striking complement 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 placed 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, black 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 or comforting 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 black 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 black 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 classmate, 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 accept 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 hospital come 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 changed layer by layer, 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 the last 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 young ladies 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 accompany you. And later, 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 playboy 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, playing 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 claimed that he bought up all the jewelry on display 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 glanced 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 - Chapter 403: 403, Xiaobai: Idiot! Chapter 403: 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 black suit. His glasses 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, he laughed and shouted, Little Princess, if your husband ever gets hooked on another lady, remember to kick him over to me! Mo Weiyi: Goddamn! She stopped in her tracks and turned back to give him a fierce glare. Xiao Yebai, on the other hand, remained expressionless, with a fleeting hint of a dark emotion in his eyes. Chu Xiuhuang laughed 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 you come to play 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 claws 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 claws, accompanied 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 play the part of her boyfriend and persuade her mother to accept 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 explain 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 glared 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 explanation, 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 flatly 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, compared 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 the company. 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. lam going to the hospital, I will be back tonight to accompany 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 and laughing. 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 voices coming from inside the room. The door was not even closed properly. Ahuang, this is the Selina I mentioned to you last 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, your company is growing well now, and as your secretary, she naturally represents the image of your company. 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, laughing 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 its last 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 - Chapter 404: 404, complain about heaven, earth, and air Chapter 404: 404, complain 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 so late 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 of compliments 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 relation to her, her personality has become 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 start laughing 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 playfully raised one eyebrow, Actually, that woman is just so- so looking, or I should say, 99% of women in this world are plain 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 plate 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 display, 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 accidentally dropped the bowl on the floor, scattering it all over the place. 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 relationship was not that great. She remembered that they had come 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 relationship. Perhaps she has been particularly 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 playing 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 to come 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 planning to stay out overnight? Shi Huan was momentarily stunned, then she nodded. Xiaoyis class 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 classmates. 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? How come my Christmas Eve can only be spent in a bitter English tutoring class? 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 - Chapter 405: 405, old fairy! Chapter 405: 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 fairyland. Since it was located in the suburban area of Nancheng and it was a holiday, several families and couples had come 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 the large and small suitcases. As they exited the elevator, they saw a familiar face approaching. Secretary Shi! Su Wenwen exclaimed in surprise, seeing Shi Huan. So youre here too? What a coincidence. She had thought that Shi Luoluo was accompanied 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 exclaimed, 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 sent last time, which had the same arrangement. This was ridiculous. Had they come 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 black 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 nonchalantly 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 playing 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 parents coming 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 occupancy, all the rooms had been booked and there were no rooms to switch. After dinner, Teacher Wang explained 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 slammed 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 Wanwan laughed sarcastically. Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek teasingly. Whats wrong, unwilling? She had been busy preparing for the final exams the past week and hadnt come 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 a large 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 half-lay on the edge of the hot spring pool, her head propped on a towel. Surrounded by warm water, she felt comfortable, completely 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 ventilation system. With all the classes and the two to three hours of travel, soaking in the hot spring felt exceptionally comfortable. Su Wanwan became completely relaxed, her body and mind thoroughly at ease, and she soon started to doze off. Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: 406, Even Thieves Have Friends Chapter 406: 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 class 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 place. 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 exclaimed 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 voice coming 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 necklace was clearly found in your bag! Did it just grow legs and walk in by itself? I really didnt take your stuff Playing 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 become a phoenix by latching 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 indoor landscape 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 black 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 necklace 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 necklace? She probably wanted to sell your necklace for money. Or maybe she thought your necklace 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 slapped her, How dare you! With your looks, you dream of marrying Xixi? She almost immediately raised her hand again, slapping 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 to land a third slap, 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 slapped 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 accused 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 necklace was found in her bag. Thats the evidence! Su Wanwan sneered, If I take the necklace 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 designer labels. You must be hanging out with some rich businessman, right? It seems you and Bai Ruwei are really similar. You are both good at seducing men. Maybe youre even a mistress Ah! Before she could finish her words, a slap had already landed on her face. She was flung back by the force, falling onto the artificial mountain. Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: 407, Slander viciously Chapter 407: 407, Slander viciously Her body cleared the ground and landed 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 claws flashing. 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, come here, Zhexi! Huo Zhexi was coming 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 blabbered something about having a orgy Hearing the call, he walked over. Zhexi, this damn girl just hurt Li Yu. Xia Jiani immediately started to complain. 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 relaxed 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 necklace. 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 become a couple? Bai Ruweis face turned pale, I didnt steal anything. I have no idea how the necklace ended up in my bag. I swear I didnt steal. But Xia Jiani claimed firmly, Your bag is where I found my necklace. 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 slandering 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 necklace 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 necklace 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 clarify 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 resemblance 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 awkwardly laughed 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 - Chapter 408: 408, strongly protecting wife, too cool. Chapter 408: 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 explain, Brother, youve misunderstood, these two are not mine Want to teach your sister-in-law 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-in-law! 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 her laughter. 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- law, 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 place. 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. Playing is fine but know your limits. Dont think that no one would find out because this place is remote. If one day a video of you and a woman involved in 4P really goes viral on the internet, how am I, your older brother, supposed to face people? Huo Zhexi was playing 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- law 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-in-law? 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 glanced 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 accompany 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 welcome 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 playing 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 relaxed 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 - Chapter 409: 409, why is my sister-in-law so cute? Chapter 409: 409, why is my sister-in-law 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 black framed glasses to put on. You dont seem to be shortsighted, why do you wear glasses? They were very conservative and unattractive black-framed glasses. 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 black 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 glasses 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 Wanwan laughed 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 seconds later, 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-in-law 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 glance 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 Ci lay on the sofa in his office, looking at the photo he had secretly saved, his peach-blossom eyes almost squinting into a line with laughter. How cute is this sister-in-law? She accidentally 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 minutes later, 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 glass 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 acceptable? 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 Ci laughed, 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 her come 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 glass, 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-in-law. 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, compact 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 Xiuhuang laughed 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 give commendation for his good deed, how come 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, enlarged, and enlarged again. Tsk tsk. So, it wasnt a bikini, it was a black one-piece swimsuit, quite conservative, but ail of her arms and legs were exposed. The limbs were slender, graceful and neat, highlighted by the black swimsuit, making her skin look like jade. The typical long black hair was also tied into a bun, revealing her entire small face clearly. Compared to the glimpse when she had taken off her glasses, 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 desolate, 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 becoming complex and unreadable. Whats going on? Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: 410, Merry Christmas! Chapter 410: 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 office last 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 accompanying 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 black coat, stood straight in the cold wind, relaxed as if he wasnt cold at all. Su Wanwan glanced at him. Glanced 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 her completely 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 hour later, 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 their companions and place 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 accidentally spilled a drink on him. Any other man would have slapped me without a second thought, but he didnt. Later, every time he came, he would ask me to accompany 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 to compete 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 optional companion. 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 explain, he wont listen. Can you help me explain to him? I truly didnt take Xia Jianis necklace. I havent even seen the necklace, and I went to the restroom at that time. When I came back, they claimed to have found the necklace 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 relationship matters. Plus, Zhexi doesnt really like me. She and Huo Zhexi never got along. Besides, misappropriating a necklace 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 glanced 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 can completely ruin her reputation! As for that Xia Jiani, Li Yu is particularly 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 - Chapter 411: 411, cherish Mr. Huo well. Chapter 411: 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 isolate 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 accepted 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 exhausted last 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 playing 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 together later. 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 clapped 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 Stilla! The most recent hit Disney animation from America, featuring Shi Luoluos favorite female character. Shi Huan took a glance 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 Stilla? 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 shoelace was untied. Awkward. Thank you. Without uttering a word, Lu Chenyu left with an expressionless face. Shi Huan: Only a man like Lawyer Lu would come shopping alone at a mall. After quickly tying her shoelaces, 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 - Chapter 412: 412, times table up to nine. Chapter 412: 412, times table up to nine. Arriving home and finding Little Luoluo absorbed in play 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 and come here, and bring me something to eat while you are at it. Shi Huan glanced 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, planning his next moves. After contemplating 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, but last 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 The last 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 come to him. 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 the company these days, may I come 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 accidental 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 Shen come 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 a laugh. Chu Xiuhuang gave her a cold glance, and she immediately lowered her head, continuing her work nervously. It was the first time she saw a grown man claiming 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 a laugh, 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 splashed 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 glanced 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 - Chapter 413: 4B, tripping over 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, slamming the door behind her. At the loud clatter, Chu Xiuhuang shuddered involuntarily. What the hell. This secretary, seriously Acting all fiery, huh? Planning 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, he complained 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 cabinet when she entered the ward today. And even worse, they had all been opened already. Chu Xiuhuang subconsciously glanced at the cabinet. 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 Eve last 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 uncomfortable. 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 glasses. 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 to laugh. 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 regular 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 delay 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 could complete his sentence, Shi Huan suddenly walked quickly to the side of the bed. She moved so quickly that Chu Xiuhuang didnt even see it coming. His mouth was still half-open from his unfinished sentence And Shi Huan had already turned and walked into the bathroom. A few seconds later, 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 blanket 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, glanced 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 popularity and status, and the rare appearance in Chengdu, so the organizers made special arrangements. The broadcast rights were given to several live-stream platforms. So, at that moment, all the viewers on those live-stream platforms saw the shock and pallor on her face. Another reporter asked, Miss Lu, is this rumor true? Lu Zixi was speechless. Because it caught her completely 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 - Chapter 414: 414, the whole city is in turmoil 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 clang, 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 accuse you of breach of contract and demand compensation! 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 explain. Because the news wasnt baseless, it wasthe truth. ** Monday morning. No sooner had Su Wanwan sat down in the classroom than she heard several girls gossiping at the front: Lu Zixi is disgusting! Exactly, I cant believe I voted for her as the most popular 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 her last 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 collapses, underage pregnancy shocks society!] [21-year-old innocent starlet already a mother!] [Shock! Unmasking the true face of the popular 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, the comments section under her latest explanatory post was full of curses. [Die, bitch!] [You deceived my feelings! Liar! Master of lies!] [Apure lady? 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 classroom, 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 wrong last 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, please come 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 glare, 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 to come 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 blame 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, blaming 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 - Chapter 415: 415, we’re on TV now. 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 clarification I posted on Weibo isnt trusted by anyone, the comments are filled with criticism towards me. All of my sponsors are in talks with the company about terminating contracts and discussing compensation 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 will completely 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 flash photography as soon as she stepped out of the office. The flashes were continuous, their glaring 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 some comments, and now shes gone viral online! Everyone is praising your wife! Huo Jingshen once again: Truly unexpected. A minute later, the man sat in his black 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 relationship 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 out laughing, and quickly covered his mouth. Continuing. What exactly is your relationship 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 is coming 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, flashes going off continuously, and innumerable questions thrown at them. Except for the comparatively composed 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 were coming 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, lacking 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 young lady was passionately speaking with an emotional, angry, and sarcastically cheerful expression, particularly 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 flatter, Didnt expect the young madam to have such strong values, the internet 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 the comments section, Take a look, boss Huo. Huo Jingshen raised his brows, looking at the comments. [This lady has got her values right! ] [Justice might be late, but it will never be absent! ] [Lu Zixi, you did wrong but dont even dare to admit it. Now you blame the lady for not helping to cover you up?] [Glad the lady didnt join in the corruption!) [The lady is pretty and has a sweet voice, much more attractive than Lu Zixi! ] [Is the lady also a celebrity? Can anyone guide me to her Weibo account?] [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 those comments, his brows furrowed deeper, his expression becoming 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 slammed the phone onto the table. The loud sound Scared Ji Jie out of his wits. That was his new iPhone, bought just for playing PUBG! Immediately find someone to block all the information, never allow any photos or videos of the madam to appear on the internet. 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 young ladys 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 seconds later, 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 the companys main entrance, he saw Lu Zixi and Zan Song coming 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 quickly laughed it off, Director Zan, dont misunderstand. Qitian was just immersing himself in his script, where he plays 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 popularity 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 upcoming 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 same company. 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 popular national goddess on screen. Chapter 416 - Chapter 416:416, Old Gu 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 popularity by starring in several popular dramas adapted from online novels under the guidance of Zan Song. Her career path and popularity 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 the companys cash cow. She must have been offended when the company started to favor Lu Zixi over her, even if they still put on a facade of sisterly affection. Most of the people in the company 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 internet, and now he is still gaining endorsements and making a fortune. With strong backing, what hurdle couldnt be overcome? 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 by netizens 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 to comment on Lu Zixis Weibo, their accounts were immediately flagged as abnormal and were logged out. When they tried to log back in, their accounts had been blocked, with the reason stated as: Due to comments that violate national laws and regulations, your account 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 relationship revealed! His companion is none other than the top actress of his empire, Deng Anya!] [Deng Anya has been resting from work lately 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 popularity has been overshadowed by Lu Zixi in the past two years, her deeply rooted fan base still exists. Moreover, her popularity 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 escalating. 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 to comment 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, reading comments 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 internal competition. Running an entertainment company, 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 his composure 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 place. So youre getting Lu Zixi out of her scandal, boosting Deng Anqis popularity, 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-in-law 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, how come youre in here?] Ming Jing: [Is Seventh Master going to do some fun stuff as well?] Lu Chenyu: [?] Nangong Ci: [Just hearing that a newcomer 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 slander 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 slanders were gone as well. It was as if everything had never happened. At two oclock in the afternoon, Gu Huaian returned to the company 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 place, 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 uncontrollably, with big tears rolling down her cheeks, while the comments 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 glanced at the live viewership, which was close to thirty million. The comments on the screen were coming in fast and furious. The reason why the public was so outraged was that her fans felt they had been deceived. Now that she had come 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, compassion took over, and they naturally felt pity for her. In the end, all the comments 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, come 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 - Chapter 417: 417, Golden Bachelor Chapter 417: 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, compared 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 black, white, and grey, and he seldom laughed or joked in public. At first glance, he looked like an accomplished city gentleman. So Su Wanwan spent a long time searching through her wardrobe and finally selected a black 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 the lace details around the shoulders and hem made it appear mature and graceful. She let down her long, black curly hair, applied a bit of light makeup, and wore the popular 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-transparent lace on her shoulders. The white skin of the young girl forthwith appeared luminous. Her fluffy curls loosely lay 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 black 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 nonchalantly averted his gaze and cleared his throat, When did you buy this dress? How come 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 didnt comment. 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 and lacked 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 popularity. In the era of fan economy, as long as she had fan support, Lu Zixi could instantly become innocent again. Now that she and Deng Anqi had become 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 hour later, 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 his lap, wearing the school uniform- a white blouse and red pleated skirt, with white leggings and black 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 clasped 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 Huaians lap 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 relation. 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 explain, I thought Sister-in-law was too young and wouldnt have much in common with us, so I brought Haohao over. You two can play together. Su Wanwan was somewhat speechless, Im twenty. Huo Jingshen said, Good on you for being thoughtful. You should indeed thank your sister-in-law. Gu Huaian: Suppressing the urge to hit someone, he slowly curled his thin lips, half-smiling, half-teasing, So, Sister-in-law, 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-in-law, youre studying journalism, right? Thats exactly what my company specializes in. If youre interested, you can look for me when the time comes. Gu Huaian said, extending a business card with his slender hand. Su Wanwan quickly accepted 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-in-law 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 relationships, 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 or later, hell have to go back and take over the company. So, could you find a way to fire him on the sly, and send him back to Los Angeles? Gu Huaian: So blatant about getting someone fired in front of their boss? Huo Jingshen, however, looked amused, Your sister-in-law 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 was laden 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 planning She didnt understand any of it. Halfway through her meal, Su Wanwan suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged twice. Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: 418, Seventh Master Gu Chapter 418: 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 the ladies 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 blatantly 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 that lady 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 explain. Well, its nothing, that ladyshe 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 headache coming on. Haohao was only thirteen this year, an age quite awkward. Half-knowing, half- not. This wasnt something you could glaze 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 glanced 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 a completely 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. GuHuaians command 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 accompanied 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 glass, 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 was coming 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, claiming she just wanted to see the world. Since they came from the same school, Lin Yu thought, let her come 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 he commanded, 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 eyelashes. 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 play 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 first land combat 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 drug component was even detected in Xia Jianis stomach. The incident stirred up quite a stir on the internet. 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 black 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 placed down the document, waiting for review. Taking a glance 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 planned 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 black 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 black eyes under the lenses slowly moved back to the woman on the couch. Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai Chapter 419: April 19 th, Jealous Xiaobai His gaze lingered unabashedly on her features. A few seconds later, he suddenly let go. With a clack. 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 planning 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 rectangular 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 crystal lamp. 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 clasped her hands together, glancing 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 occupied with important matters. Nonetheless, 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 too late? 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 happen later. After all, one only gets married once. My parents dont want to rush it either, so they wont make Yunyao uncomfortable. Otherwise, Yunyao would blame 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 in-laws 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 in-laws. 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 uncomfortable 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 uncomfortable, and her face reflected her discontent. Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: 420, Mo Family Anniversary Celebration Chapter 420: 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 place, descending the stairs. She knew the young couple was passionate about each other, but she never expected this at dinner time. Always scholarly 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 glaringly at his neck, impossible to ignore. He was sitting directly opposite her, holding a wine glass. 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 occasions, 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, collarbones 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 should come 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 Yaoxiong laughed, 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 glass, Chairman Mo, President Xiao, this toast is to you. They were drinking red wine. Xiao Yebai raised his glass and met Xu Rui, slowly savoring his drink. This forthcoming 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 management company. 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, popular stars, idol artists for guest performances. They had even bought live broadcast rights from several TV stations and internet platforms. Such an unprecedented grand function would be an ideal occasion to accomplish some tasks. Qu Yunyao sipped her tea and smiled gently, glancing at the man drinking across from her. A swift hint of malice and satisfaction flashed in her eyes. ** It was the old mans birthday, everyone had naturally prepared presents to offer congratulations 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 slabs 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 plan on hunting for a place 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 wasnt comfortable 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 planned to move out once her daughter married into the Xiu Family, but she didnt anticipate that the wedding would be delayed 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 planning 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 place for us to stay. Dont worry, I receive salary every month. We can find a good place. 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 but comment 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 villa 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 slammed 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, Replace 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, come with me. Alright. Mo Weiyi glanced 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 feeling lately? Is there anything uncomfortable? 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 returning late, sometimes even skipping breakfast. Tell me honestly, has that boy Yebai put some aphrodisiac spell on you again? Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: 421, English Textbook Chapter 421: 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, black 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 but laugh, 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 accept 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 he committed 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 villa 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 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 not coming tonight, there are a few problems I cant solve, can you explain 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 seven languages. 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 explained it all once, she nodded, So thats how it is. He really is a study god. He explained it once, it was simple and easy to understand, and she got it. Next, Xiao Yebai began to explain the second problem. Mo Weiyi nodded repeatedly as she listened. After he finished explaining the remaining problems, Mo Weiyi clapped her hands, admiring him, Wow, why do I understand instantly when you explain 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 explain 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. Oh come on, Xiaobai, just help me out. I get it instantly when you explain, 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. Accompanying this was his deep, subdued voice, Answer the phone. Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: 422, the waste has been thrown away Chapter 422: 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 glasses, his deep black 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 late, goto sleep. Mo Weiyi: ** The following morning, there were no classes 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 villa next door. Qu Yunyao had just woken up and come 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 maid later 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 so comfortably here, we have food, we have a place 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, how come 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, come 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 dinner last 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 slapped 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 slap 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 clatter, Get out! Xiaohong ran out of the villa crying, and as she rounded the corner, she saw Mo Weiyi coming out from the opposite villa. 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 glance, she looked like she had been abused. Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: 423, are you pursuing Mo Weiyi? Chapter 423: 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 Villa. 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 slap 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 Jing laughed 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 uncomfortable. Yet Qu Yunyao was still smiling, I understand, Sister Yiyi. I dont understand the rules here. When you have time, come 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 Weiyi laughed, 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 class. 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 class 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 him laugh 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 class now. Ill find you in the reading room this afternoon. Okay. Ling Zhizhou waved. Watching Mo Weiyi walk into the classroom, 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, replaced 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 - Chapter 424: 424, Ling Zhizhou Chapter 424: 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 villa, 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 slapped 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 slapped 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 and lacked 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-in-law, 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 glanced at the mother-daughter duo and nodded in understanding. Alright. Brother-in-law. 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 blame 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-in-law, these past six months, I am sincerely grateful for your and fathers gracious care. Now that I have some savings, and weve found a place 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 there later 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 accompany us? Hearing these words, Xu Jing changed color, Yunyao, what are you talking about? Your uncle is a busy man No problem, I can accompany 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 particularly large 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 man laughed, Little lady, youre wrong. The market for this district is very competitive. 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 according to the market. Isnt it normal? Can you blame 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 man laughed, 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 burglar-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 relax my mind, what if something happens, how will I explain 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 the companys anniversary. One morning, after the English class was over. Su Wanwan looked at the time, Lunch, or the reading room? Mo Weiyi packed up his things, Tonight I have to attend the companys 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 classroom, talking and laughing. 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 classmates. 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 classmates. Okay, goodbye. When Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan said, hinting at something, This junior, seems to be particularly good to you. Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: 425, Show off Love Chapter 425: 425, Show off Love Once Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan hinted, This younger schoolmate seems particularly 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 planning to go to try on the ceremonial dress? Huo Jingshen glanced 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 place 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 young ladies to the high-end dress area on the top floor. Finally, they entered a familiar shop. The manager personally greeted them. Having come here twice with Su Wanwan before, Huo Jingshen naturally was recognized. What was even more surprising was that the Mo Familys Little Princess had also come. He immediately called all the clerks in the shop to greet them, and grandly welcomed 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 a layer of white gauze. It looked ethereal and captivating. The salesperson immediately laughed 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 wore last 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 flatter. They use the technique of initially praising then belittling, arent they afraid that shell put it on later 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 dislikes compliments, 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, ladylike, and goddess-like from the front, but the back holds a secret. A large 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 glance, 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 display your affection like this? Thats Mo Weiyis voice, both petulant 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 perfectly composed, even glancing 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 conservative compared 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 will come 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 occasion like todays. As the lady of the house, wearing this red could not be more fitting. However, when Huo Jingshen came out in a fine tailored mens black suit, Mo Weiyi felt like she was witnessing another display 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 black, 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 collar 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 you come? Youll have to wait for a while longer, help me pick out a suit, 111 come straight over tonight. Youre only coming tonight? Mo Weiyi frowned, Will it be too late? No. Mens dressing was not as complicated 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 you come a bit earlier, she pleaded in a soft, coquettish voice, Xiaobai, Im so bored here by myself. Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: 426, Always Together Chapter 426: 426, Always Together Cant you come over earlier? She whined softly, Im so bored here all alone. I have to accompany 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, come 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 glanced 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 occasions, 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 black high collar sweater, and it was a loose fit too. Finally, Chu Xiuhuang turned his face back and asked seriously, Hows the companys business going recently? Shi Huans eye twitched violently. He is actually concerned about the companys business? Hm? Chu Xiuhuangs phoenix eyes narrowed. Shi Huan quickly said, The communication process with Huan Teng is completed. Ill have the contract brought over tomorrow for Mr. Chu to sign. The resort project with Huo Yuan is ongoing. As for Bingos upcoming publicity plans 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 to compensate 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 villas maid, holding a large 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 wheat complexion, which balanced 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 platform, 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 muscular 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 black 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 glance 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 flashed 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 popular idols. Plus, tonights attendees were all Nanchengs elites, including representatives from several major families. It was a gathering of the grand, with an astounding display 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 - Chapter 427: 427, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Chapter 427: 427, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden Then a reporter asked, May I ask if tonight Mr. Chu didnt bring a female companion? Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, Secretary Shi is my companion. The microphone was then directed towards Shi Huan, As a subordinate, Secretary Shi, can you comment 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, flashes 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, coming 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 to come 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 magnet, attracting whispers from the female guests. The ladies 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 thin layer of ruffled lace at the dress hem was conservative in style. Even though she didnt have any particular styling, she was elevated into an aura of gentle and graceful beauty by this luxurious dress. Shi Huan removed her glasses. Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, her expression froze for a moment. A few seconds later, she put on her glasses 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 seconds later, 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 black tuxedo, his hair neatly parted showing off his handsome features. Wearing thin-rimmed glasses, he looked scholarly 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 collarbone. The dress showcased her slender and curvy figure, highlighting her youthful aura. Each frown and smile displayed 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 Wanwan complimented, 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 become in-laws! 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 plate of food, Shi Huan was about to return when a blue figure suddenly flashed by. Immediately after Oh no! A womans scream, accompanied by the shattering sound of the wine glass 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 plate 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 instantly completely 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 black 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 not come off. The dress is worth 1.2 million yuan. Since you just admitted to accidentally 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 Cinderella who had secretly worn the glass 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 black suit. Suddenly, she heard Su Wanwans voice from behind her, Secretary Shi? Shi Huan turned around. Su Wanwan walked over, accompanied 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 - Chapter 428: 428, Massacre Begins Chapter 428: 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 blaming 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 headache coming on, Theres really no need. Why were these young girls so enthusiastic? She wasnt that fussy No, come and follow me. I brought several sets of dresses. You should be able to wear this black 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 black 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 become completely soaked through. She used tissues to absorb the excess moisture and then dried them with the hairdryer. When she put on the black 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 glance, 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, replaced 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 become 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 glasses. 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 minutes later. Were done. Lili finally finished. Just as Mo Weiyi had promised, it took exactly, to the minute, 10 minutes. Before Shi Huan could comment on her appearance, she felt something cool on her neck. Mo Weiyi had hung a pearl necklace 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 become 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 stimulated, 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 playboy 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, but completely lacked the arrogance of those so-called wealthy ladies. 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 plastic 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 glasses. He said it was because he didnt want his subordinates to be scared when they looked at him. The glasses made him appear more refined and friendly. However, the glasses he wore were not like those extra-large black-framed glasses of Shi Huans. Those only made her look worse. On the contrary, Xiaobai with his non-prescription glasses gave off a vibe of degraded scholar, 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 with laughter and chatter. Watching Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan showing their affection to each other, and even Gu Huaian being accompanied 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 explained. Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuangs expression turned black, 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 plan 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 occasion. Mr. Gu, the Luo familys company seems to have a collaboration with your company? Chu Xiuhuang asked directly. Gu Huaian replied nonchalantly, What, planning to wage a war for your secretary? Chu Xiuhuang laughed 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 glass, his demeanor leisurely and sophisticated, So how do you plan to be civilized? Chu Xiuhuang continued his laughter, 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 - Chapter 429: 429, Stingy Mr. Huo Chapter 429: 429, Stingy Mr. Huo Huo Jingshen simply took the wine glass 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 face completely froze. Or more accurately, he was struck in awe. Shi Huan was walking towards him, her black 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 glasses before, he certainly wouldnt recognize her now, as she looked like a completely 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 black haute couture gown, the versatile material seemed like a second skin that was tailored to her figure, accentuating 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 black 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 necklace 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 black 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 necklace covering her, and despite the fact that Su Wanwan was a woman, Shi Huan didnt feel comfortable 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 Huan laughed. 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 accompany 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, accompany 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, completely 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. He laughed, hinting something. Xu Jing bowed her head, her face a bit awkward. Actually, she didnt want to come today. She always felt that with her status, her presence at Mos companys celebration might draw criticism particularly 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 to lavishness, 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 - Chapter 430: 430, a perfect match made in heaven Chapter 430: 430, a perfect match made in heaven As expected, Mo Yaoxiong did not let her down, and she successfully managed to continue living in the Mo Family up to now. But this Mo Weiyi, really seems to lack 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 accompany 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 blame you, I was at fault, I shouldnt have acted impulsively and upset you last time You were scolding us last time for no reason Weiyi. Mo Yaoxiong sternly interrupted his daughter. What sort of occasion 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 uncomfortable, 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 accompany her. Alright. Xu Jing nodded. Seeing Xu Rui being so considerate of her daughter, Xu Jing felt slightly comforted 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 flashed 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 playing, the guests gradually took their seats, and the anniversary reception officially commenced. The VIP seats were in the front. The Mo Family occupied 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 scholarly and indifferent gaze slowly surveying around, applause 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 glancing 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 succinctly 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 glass 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 elated and quickly followed him to the back. As he was passing the table next to him, he gave a casual glance 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 play, following which, she rearranged all her plans. 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 clandestine 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 into laughter. Qu Yunyao snapped back to reality, watching the humorous performance on stage, she too started laughing 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 minutes later, 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. Relax 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, glancing around nervously, Nobody noticed, right? Qu Yunyao shook her head, Where is my brother-in-law? In the rear garden. lowering his voice, Xu Rui said, He has already drunk that glass 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 pillar 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 - Chapter 431: 431, please get into the jar Chapter 431: 431, please get into the jar The man was dressed in a black suit, but due to the effects of the drug, he was now lying there, seemingly very uncomfortable. Qu Yunyao pinched her fingers and slowly walked over. Brother-in-law? Xiao Yebai lay there, not uttering a word. Are you drunk? Qu Yunyao lifted her hand, placing 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 elaborate plan of Qu Yunyao as the goal today was to let everyone discover them here! She leaned down, roughly ripping open the collar, 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 the last time in Haicheng, a moment of hesitation flashed through her mind. She was now pregnant, she couldnt afford any mishap, let alone take such risks. And later 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 we last saw each other, Ive missed you terribly. Rest assured, no one will come over here ha ha ha ha * * The banquet hall was currently both lavish 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 glances before quickly pushing the food cart away. They knew certain adults liked to seek stimulation 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 place, 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 plan was to call everyone in the garden to catch them 10 minutes later, 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-in-law and getting caught on the day of the Mo Groups anniversary, losing face to such a degree. If the Mo family investigates later, he, the informant, wouldnt be able to escape blame. 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 changed completely. 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 the last. * * About five minutes later, the neatly dressed lobby manager led several security personnel, all holding flashlights, 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 flashlights were incessantly flashing. The banquet guests were also incessantly filming with their phones. Some had even opened up a live streaming platform 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 the last 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 glance? 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 several layers. 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, explaining, 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 speculation. Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: 432, catch one in the act Chapter 432: 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 speculating What happened? A commanding 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 black 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 explained lightly. Mo Weiyi nodded. So that was it. Director Xu. Xiao Yebais gaze landed on Xu Rui, his tone indifferent as usual, What happened? Xu Rui was completely stunned. Why did Xiao Yebai come 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 been completely 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 is completely embarrassing! Xu Rui rushed over, seized the mans collar, 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 planned 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 place 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 glared at Zhang Dechang, accusing 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 explain Xu Jings eyes reddened with fury, You shouldnt slander 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 - Chapter 433: 433, expose ugliness on the spot Chapter 433: 433, expose ugliness on the spot This world never lacks 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, played 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 slapping 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 explain, Mom, I did not, I was wrong, this man is deliberately framing me listen to me explain Explain? What is there to explain? 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 slap, 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 my last life Xu Jing continued to slap 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 had completely 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, accusing her, You actually dared to deceive me! Xu Rui. Qu Yunyaos face was covered in tears, obviously wronged, and she tried to explain 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! Never come 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 Haicheng last 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 relatives occasion? She is simply a B**ch! How could the Mo family have such a relative? 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 flashlight, he found out that her legs were already soaked in blood. New blood that was almost black 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 hour later. Nangong Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on the eighth floor. In the corridor, Xu Jing was sitting with her head down, crying uncontrollably. Accompanying 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 glasses, his face devoid of expression. The child is gone. Please accept 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 daughters lack of self-care. The conflicting emotions were almost crushing her. Mo Yaoxiong frowned heavily, and after the doctor left, he could only comfort her, Dont overthink for now, just take good care of her. Crying, Xu Jing said, Brother-in-law, 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 accept. But now it turns out she was fooling around with a man in his forties from a branch company. 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 playing it, he heard Qu Yunyao frantically calling out, brother-in-law 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 played the first video earlier. If the second video had been played 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 Villa. 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 glasses. Back in the garden, he did indeed take a sip of that glass 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 met last 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 plane 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 - Chapter 434: 434, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [Welfare] Chapter 434: 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 but laugh. 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 relaxed, and he was currently sitting at the head of the bed, with the table lamp on, reading a thick book. A studious man is naturally charming, and the scene of him wearing glasses 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 plank! 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 blacklisted. 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 glance 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 - Chapter 435: 435, Big Pig Trotter has caught a cold Chapter 435: 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 glanced 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! Accompany 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 playing 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 glaring coldly down at her. Until she zipped up her down jacket, properly clad 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 vent lay. 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 black Cayenne in front of her emitted a pleasant response sound. I found the car, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu! Quickly, come 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 become 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 black 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 you coming back? Im scared The little girls soft voice carried a whiff of tears. Shi Huan quickly comforted, 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 glared at her discontentedly, What do you mean by this? Youre just going to leave me here? Expecting me to walk home? Shi Huan explained, 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 not large, 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 blankly, 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 shortcomings, he was still family. She narrowed her eyes, her voice adopting an edge of seriousness, Mr. Chu, I dont appreciate your comments about my family. They see you as cheap labour, 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 relatives 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 flagging 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 - Chapter 436: 436, Gathering Place of Little Fairies Chapter 436: 436, Gathering Place 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 Place, 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 can come by anytime.] Shi Huan: [Alright.] Mo Weiyi thought it would be at least the afternoon, but as soon as the flag-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. How come, 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 place, picked up some breakfast, then drove to the hospital. Rushing all over the place, 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 youd come over to bring me breakfast by nine every day? Shi Huan explained, Im sorry, I went to the school to return Miss Mos dress, and it delayed some time. Whats more important? Miss Mo? Or your bosss stomach? Young master Chu wore an accusatory face. Shi Huan went straight over with the takeaway, then quickly opened it, Mr. Chu, its time for breakfast. The scent of the food successfully 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 too late. 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 frustrated last 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 cheap labor, 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? Black turtleneck sweater, black jeans, loose enough to completely hide any curves, and with her hair back to its original style, she was even wearing huge black-rimmed glasses. Shi Huan adjusted her glasses, 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 too late. 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 blankly, 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 - Chapter 437: 437, Big Light Bulb Chapter 437: 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, similar 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-black 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 black 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 her large black-rimmed glasses. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth half open, just let her continue to blow air, once after another. A faint scent entered his nostrils, as if it had come 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 placed his hand on her shoulder The half-closed door was flung open with a clang, 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 glance 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 penetrating 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 wouldnt come. I didnt want to come, 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 glanced at his watch, You have 10 minutes. Ok. Then, Nangong Ci ran in again. He glanced at the bathroom and grinned slyly, Second brother, you say, youre just going to kiss her without even closing the door? Are there hospital regulations 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 party last night. Why are there only scandalous photos and none of Secretary Shi? Chu Xiuhuang glared, 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 slammed 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 placed 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 out laughing, quickly covering his mouth. With a darkened face, Huo Jingshen thought this guy was shameless. Oh, and buy two pairs of boxers, black, 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 his laughter C despite holding his hand over his mouth, he was still giggling, his shoulders shaking continuously. Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: 438, Luo Yiyi Chapter 438: 438, Luo Yiyi Huo Jingshen was fine, always mature and composed, never showing his emotions on his face. However, Nangong Ci, was struggling to hold back his laughter, 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 unrestrained laughter. 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 hour later, Huo Jingshen had left after his meeting, and Chu Xiuhuang sent a message urging her to come 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, accompanied by the click of high heels, Secretary Shi! Shi Huan stopped and looked. It was Luo Yiyi, whom she had met at the banquet hall last night. Miss Luo? Dressed in a short pearl-white fur coat, shiny black 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 was laden with accusation, Did you complain to Mr. Chu, leading to Huan Entertainment withdrawing the collaboration with our Luo Family? Shi Huan frowned, What do you mean? Still pretending naivete? Luo Yiyi gritted her teeth, After I spilled on your dress last 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 and complained to Mr. Chu. Who did not know that Mr. Chu and the man from Huan Entertainment were close friends, and their clans, including the Huo Family, the Nangong Family, and even the Lu Family, were all in a circle Their relationships 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 plain-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 relay 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 plain, 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 a large 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 top lawyer in Nancheng, any case that fell into his hands, even a black 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 unrelated to Lu Chenyu. The two even had a bunch of brain-dead fan pairs. She once tried to study them, but later 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 have come to the hospital, but Mr. Chu refuses to see me. Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: 439, aren’t you narcissistic, Little Princess? Chapter 439: 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 planned 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 female companion. You are the one who lost composure and purposely spilled red wine on her. Luo Yiyi felt nauseated yet could only continue humbly, Now our familys business collaboration with Huan Entertainment has been called off. My dad said he already borrowed from the banks for it; due to the cancellation, 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 Jingyi lazily. 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 isnt completely 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, becoming heated to the point of rage. Was she just played 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 hour later, Su Wanwan set down her pen. As she went to pick up her thermal flask, 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, combined 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 glance 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 relationships happening at the school. Youre a married woman. Watch your words and actions. Mo Weiyi burst out laughing, 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 - Chapter 440: 440, you look quite like my sister. Chapter 440: 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 you come out for a moment? Sure. Ling Zhizhou stood up with a smile, eagerly following Mo Weiyi out. Poor kid, he might come 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 similar to my sister, so when I saw you in the exam room that day, I felt an affinity towards you, Ling Zhizhou explained. 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 him coming 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 umbrella? My Uncle Liu is coming 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 black umbrella, Here, you can borrow this. Mo Weiyi took the umbrella 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 umbrella. 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 umbrella, 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 umbrella with me. The umbrella was quite big, the kind of large black umbrella 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 hes coming to pick you up from school tonight. Xiaobai is coming to pick me up? Mo Weiyis eyes lit up, she was overjoyed. Ling Zhizhou quickly looked up at her side. A black Bentley slowly came to a stop at the roadside. Mo Weiyi naturally saw it too, and exclaimed 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 umbrella 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 classmate, he saw me in the rain and lent me his umbrella. And then he let himself get drenched in the rain? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, his tone indifferent but laced with clear mockery. Mo Weiyi naturally noticed this, especially when she met his deep, pitch-black eyes, which felt bottomless. Her heart jumped, and she quickly changed the subject, Xiaobai, how come youre free to pick me up today? Xiao Yebai stared at her quietly, his black pupils unwavering, and did not respond. Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: 441, thank you, husband. Chapter 441: 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 flat, as if devoid of any emotion. Mo Weiyi put his black umbrella 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 umbrella, 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 black 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, playing 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 play 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 to come tonight, but it was his fathers birthday, and with his brother Huo Nuanyang stationed in the military and unable to come, it would have been very unbecoming 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 clashed with Su Wanwan, she was now trying very hard to win the favor of the Huo Family. Huo Juncheng accepted her gift and, just as he put it aside, she added, Its your favorite golf club set from pliihap. I placed the order a month ago. Upon hearing this, Huo Juncheng was pleasantly surprised. So Siqing knows I like playing 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 delayed 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 school lately 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 Its common 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, laughing. Clearly, the couple was siding with Su Wanwan. Nodding, Xing Siqing acted like she understood, True, I forgot that Wanwan doesnt have an income 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-in-laws 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-in-law. 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 are laws in the country, there are rules in the family. If youre not accustomed to them, you should practice more. Your sister-in-law 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 your last trip to the hot springs resort. Huo Jingshen paused, So, hurry up, buy a gift, and come back. If youre late, 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 hour later, 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-in-law! 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 - Chapter 442: 442, pay attention to the occasion Chapter 442: 442, pay attention to the occasion 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 black high-necked base shirt, her black curly hair that fell perfectly on her shoulders flattered her delicate face with rosy lips and white teeth. Compared to a few months ago, the young girl seemed more like a lady 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 glared at his foolish old wife and said nothing. Only Huo Jingshen remained composed, 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 them come out tonight to show off their affection? Theyve been married for so long? Suddenly wearing wedding rings? And such a large diamond ring? Out of rage, she could no longer restrain herself, grabbing her mobile phone and slamming 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, come 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 occasion 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-in-law! 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 Porcelain 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 Porcelain 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 planning 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 - Chapter 443: 443, Xiaobai is angry Chapter 443: 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 noncommittally with a Hmm. They stopped at a red light, and Su Wanwan quickly withdrew her hand. She glared 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 his comment, 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 angry last night and had us pack up all of Mistress Qu and her daughters things to throw out. Oh. Mo Weiyi nodded. After what happened last night, it wasnt surprising that grandfather was angry. She checked the forums and Weibo today, and there were still plenty of high-definition videos from last night being circulated. 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 succinctly. 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 getting late. With the rain outside starting again, they decided to stay the night. When they returned to the North villa, 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 explanations 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, displaying 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 explaining. After all, even with his help, she wouldnt be able to get into the top ten in her class. Reason: Her foundation was too weak! Half an hour later, Xiao Yebai stood up accurately. Its ten oclock now. Alright. Mo Weiyis regular bedtime for maintaining her beauty was ten oclock. Although she was often delayed. 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 villa 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 black 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 claws, explaining, 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 wasnt laughter, 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 a late 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 impossibly complex 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 relationship 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 relationship. 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 his command. 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 classmates, 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 classroom 1102.] Ling Zhizhou replied like this. Is he having class? Mo Weiyi directly called Su Wanwan to accompany her. 1102, the lecture hall. It was the first year of law school, which was a public law course for three classes. 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 classmates in the vicinity looked on and found it strange. It was hard to get a seat in the old professors class, so why would Ling Zhizhou vacate it and suddenly go back? Before long, there was suddenly a commotion in the classroom. Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: 444, too much jealousy Chapter 444: 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 slapped on the desk, and the whole classroom fell silent. The old professor pushed up his glasses, turning his gaze towards the door. Mo Weiyi stood at the door, Su Wanwan stood beside her. Both girls were young and beautiful, with flattering dress sense. The law 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 classroom. Right at that moment, all eyes in the classroom 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 classroom to find him! Jealous! Amidst everyones curiosity, envy, and teasing gazes, Ling Zhizhou calmly made his way from his seat, then left the classroom. ** Outside the classroom. Mo Weiyi started with some embarrassment, Ling Zhizhou, do you still have the English textbook I lent you last 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 class 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 but complained, Its just a broken book, why are you messing around so much? Mo Weiyi explained 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 dinner last night. This is really attracting trouble for herself. Thankfully, Ling Zhizhou soon arrived and placed 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 explained, 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 misplaced, and she returned this book to him, so since it was given to him and he had to use it everyday, it was completely understandable that he wanted to write his own name. But Thinking about Xiao Yebais cold expression last 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 blame you? I can explain 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 explain 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 classes in the afternoon, so Su Wanwan accompanied 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 glanced over a life-sized mannequin. The model was dressed in a black 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 a large 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 designer labels, with a perfectly made-up face, she gave off a rather elegant and prosperous vibe. The saleswoman glanced 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 Wanwan laughed, 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 Villa 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 noncommittally. 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 the company to find Xiaobai. Chu Jingyi glanced at the pile of shopping bags and laughed sarcastically, You bought Xiaobai so many things again? Mo Weiyi did not deny it. Chu Jingyi continued to laugh, 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 - Chapter 445: 445, hit on the spot Chapter 445: 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 the company. 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 blankly. Lucky Princess knows how to play, 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 a laptop. Seeing the approaching Little Princess, Zhong Kai almost dropped his computer 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 never comes to the office. Why did she choose to come 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 rarely comes 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 black office chair by her. Mo Weiyi lifted her chin and shot her a cool look, Miss Tian, can you explain 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 explain, 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 glasses, his hair slightly tousled, brows furrowed, and his handsome face was slightly flushed. He was still decently dressed, black shirt, dark cashmere sweater, black 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 collarbone, 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 main lady 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 glasses. Mo Weiyi pouted, wondering why she blurted out, Its my familys company, isnt it normal for me to be here? Xiao Yebai looked at her. Without the glasses to filter his emotions, his eyes were blackest black, showing clear signs of coldness. He said, However, this is your familys company. 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 too late. The complexion 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 explain, 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 glasses 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 his computer. 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 explain 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 clatter 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 glanced 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 explain 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-in-law 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 occasional 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 a large 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. Clad only in a thin suit, Zhong Kai shivered in the cold wind. He stuttered, trying to explain, 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 explain? 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 glanced 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 explaining himself and stubbornness combined 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 - Chapter 446: 446, The Only Drunkenness Chapter 446: 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 hasnt completely 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 accompanied by blaring 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 a complete 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 claim 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 regular 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 balance 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 uncomfortable 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 feelinguncomfortable. Driver, to Tianquan Royal Court, number 69. Mo Weiyi weakly leaned against her, Im uncomfortableIm uncomfortable Su Wanwan patted her shoulder gently, speaking akin to calming a child, Once we get home and you sleep, you wont feel uncomfortable. Mo Weiyi promptly started protesting, Not going home Im not going home! Would going to my house work? Mo Weiyi hiccupped, As long as its not home. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes again. Never mind, no use reasoning with a drunk. ** The Imperial Court villa 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 explained, 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 is coming 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 homecoming. With the kid and dog gone, Huo Jingshen resigned himself to preparing the guest room. ** Ten minutes later, 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 nonchalant. 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 collar 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 collar inevitably chokes her. Mo Weiyi started to complain because she was uncomfortable. Su Wanwan reacted with alarm, 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 Weiyi lay on the freshly made bed, clutching her collar, and groaned, Im uncomfortable Su Wanwan quickly checked her; Mo Weiyis neck was indeed a bit red. She glared 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 to complain 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 black-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 hour later, 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 turned completely gloomy. Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: 447, call the scumbag Chapter 447: 447, call the scumbag I cant help it, she doesnt dare to sleep alone, I have to stay with her. Su Wanwan explained. If you sleep with her, then who will sleep with me? Huo Jingshens tone was no good. He was eagerly waiting for his wife to come home, but she went downstairs to sleep with that ugly girl? You can sleep by yourself! Su Wanwan said in a matter-of-fact tone, Havent you been sleeping alone recently? Why would I sleep alone? Huo Jingshen held her, Who is to blame for this, huh? Ever since Su Wanwan started preparing for the exams, shes hardly been home. Once in a blue moon, theyd have a meal together, exchange a few endearments, but time spent together was extremely limited. To tell the truth, it was a bit difficult to endure. Su Wanwan knew he was disgruntled, but She really is scared to sleep alone, just tonight, just for one night, I promise, is that okay? If she cant sleep alone, then let her go find her own husband. Huo Jingshen remained unmoved. As soon as that scumbag was mentioned, Su Wanwans face changed, No way! That Xiao Yebai is a jerk! Call that jerk! I wont! Huo Jingshen squinted, Every time Xiao Yebai screws up, your best friend takes a drink, and then comes to sleep with you? Are you planning on turning your husband into a monk? What nonsense are you talking? Su Wanwan looked at him in shock, Weiyi is my best friend, shes already so distressed, and youre still taking advantage of it, cant you be a bit sympathetic? Huo Jingshens face darkened, Why dont you have some sympathy for your husband? Su Wanwan pushed him away, Alright already, just for tonight, isnt that okay? With that, she quickly picked up her pajamas, glanced at the vanity, and left with a bunch of bottles and jars. ** When Xiao Yebai returned to the Lishui Bay Villa, it was approximately seven in the evening. Entering the villa, he did not hear the familiar calling. He glanced at the entryway, where a pair of pink slippers were neatly arranged. The man froze for several seconds before removing his coat and changing into the slippers. He stepped into the living room, looking at the empty space, his expression faltered momentarily. The whole villa was eerily quiet. He stood there quietly, silent, like a statue. Until the study door suddenly opened. Xiao Yebai, as if switched on, instantly reined in his emotions and looked up. But it was not Mo Weiyi who appeared. Mr. Xiao. Chen Jin looked at him, clearly seeing the momentary chill in the mans eyes. Was it disappointment? During this time she was tutoring here, she had learned Xiao Yebais name and even looked him up online. She was instantly introduced to a new world. She thought Xiao Yebai was outstanding and was supporting a beauty like Mo Weiyi, but surprisingly, Mo Weiyi turned out to be the cherished Little Princess of the Mo Family, a prominent family in Nancheng. As for Xiao Yebai, he was just their adopted son, only becoming CEO of Mo Group two years ago when he married Mo Weiyi, gaining his current status and power. To put it bluntly, he was a breadwinner. Although she believed this term was inappropriate to use for Xiao Yebai, everything about him was natural, from his looks to his temperament. As such, Chen Jin felt differently towards him. If she just admired him before, then now, she feels much more sympathetic towards him. It turns out they are of the same kind. However, hes much luckier than her, adopted by the Mo Family, favored by their Little Princess, and accepted by high society Wheres Weiyi? Xiao Yebais deep voice interrupted Chen Jins thoughts. Her face was still slightly red, she tried to maintain her composure and said, I just arrived, Aunt Zhou said she was going to call Miss Mo. As soon as her voice fell, Aunt Zhous anxious voice arose, Young Master Xiao, youre finally back. What should we do? We cant reach the princess. Xiao Yebais tone was calm, Where did she go? I dont know, she didnt return after class ended. Liu just said he didnt pick up the princess from school and is still waiting at the school gate. Ive tried calling her several times but theres no answer. Aunt Zhou was panicking, Young Master Xiao, nothing happened to the princess right? What should we do, should we inform the old man. No need. Xiao Yebai cut her off in a cold voice, leaning slightly, he looked at Chen Jin, You can go home now. Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, hurriedly nodding her head, Okay. She entered the study room to gather her belongings, listening to the movements outside. Did Miss Mo and Mr. Xiao have a quarrel? But They were so affectionate with one another, they would actually have a fight? Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later. The mechanical voice of a woman came from the receiver. Xiao Yebai put down the phone. Aunt Zhou asked worriedly, Young Master Xiao, what do we do, the princess Its nothing. Xiao Yebais voice was calm, She should be back soon. Huh? Let Liu come back. Oh. Aunt Zhou was confused, but since Young Master Xiao had said so, she could only do as he instructed. Having said that, Xiao Yebai turned and went upstairs. After taking a shower, Xiao Yebai looked around the bedroom, his gaze slowly sweeping across. The villa had been a wedding gift from Mo Yaoxiong to his daughter and son-in-law two years ago. At the beginning, he had just taken the role of CEO and was extremely busy with work; therefore, the entire villas decoration style was decided by Mo Weiyi. Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: 448, Xiaobai VS Boss Huo Chapter 448: 448, Xiaobai VS Boss Huo Back then, right after she got admitted to Nancheng University, Su Wanwan went to study abroad in Los Angeles, and Mo Weiyi spent the entire summer break here, supervising the decoration details. So, the entire villa was decorated according to her preferences, including the furniture and decoration, all in her style. The colors were all bright, leaning towards a tender pink hue, it looked very cozy and also unmistakably youthful. Xiao Yebai dried his hair, sat down on the sofa, and picked up his tablet. After reviewing a few reports, he picked up his phone and dialed a number again. Im sorry, but the phone you dialed is off. Same mechanical female voice responding. And it was already nine oclock at night. A subtle emotion began to brew beneath the mans profound eyes. He put his phone down and picked up the tablet beside him again. As the time ticked away second by second, it was quiet inside the room. Less than a minute later, he suddenly got up, grabbed his car keys, and left with large strides. ** Upon entering the Mo Familys old house, Shi Bo was startled. Young Master Xiao? How come you are back so late? Xiao Yebai asked, Has Weiyi returned? No. Shi Bo was even more scared. He looked at the mans calm and handsome face, Did something happen to the princess? She hasnt returned yet, should I arrange people immediately No need. Xiao Yebais tone was calm. Do not disturb the old master. But the princess I am going to find her now. Oh Watching the man hurriedly leave, Shi Bos eyebrows inadvertently knitted into a frown. The princess hasnt returned home at such a late hour? Are they having a disagreement? Xiao Yebai had just opened the car door when a voice suddenly rang out behind him. Yebai. Xiao Yebai turned around. Under the streetlight, Xu Jing, who was wearing a white cotton outfit, seemed rather uneasy as she looked at him, Can I have a word with you? Afraid its not convenient. His voice was low and cold. Yet Xu Jing took a step forward, Im sorry, I just found out too. Found out what? I never expected that Yunyao would harbor such feelings for you. What do you mean? Xiao Yebais reaction was as if he had no idea. But Xu Jing felt that he was just pretending. Even though the old master Mo said the same thing, if a woman harbors such feelings for a man, how can he be completely unaware? She hadnt had much interaction with Xiao Yebai, but she knew that with his exceptional intelligence and profound thinking, for such a young man to excel in the Mo Family and have many elders pledge allegiance to him within two years of taking up the position, he was more than just highly intelligent, he was scary. Xu Jing felt panicked inside, yet her face remained sincere, In any case, this is Yunyaos delusion. She had thoughts that she shouldnt have, which is bound to lead to no good. She has received her lesson and wont stay in Nancheng anymore. As her mother, I feel guilty and came specifically to apologize to you. Are you done? Xiao Yebai looked at her. Xu Jing nodded. Xiao Yebai didnt say another word, opened the car door, and quickly drove away. In the night, Xu Jing stood there for a long time before she finally left slowly. ** Imperial Court Villa After Su Wanwan came out of the shower and was applying her toner, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the name on the screen C Scumbag Xiaobai. Su Wanwan puckered her lips, her teeth itching in irritation. mmp. What on earth is the time? The wife has been missing for half a day, and now he just realized to call and ask? She had saved Xiao Yebais number several years ago under Mo Weiyis insistence, claiming that as best friends, she must have her boyfriends number in case of emergencies. Over the years, while she has frequently called him due to issues with Mo Weiyi, Xiao Yebai has never called her once. In other words, this was the first time she received a call from him in those years. Wow, such a novelty. She glanced at Mo Weiyi. She was lying on the bed, eyes closed, her cheeks red. After drinking honey water, she had fallen asleep. So, Su Wanwan promptly silenced her phone and set it aside. She would not answer! Let it worry you! The screen lit up then went dark, dark then light. Su Wanwan even found her charger and plugged it in. Its just that half an hour later, the screen did not light up again. Hehe. Su Wanwan muttered to herself with sarcasm, seems like a mans patience was just that. She lay on the bed, turned off the light, and went to sleep. After a day of classes, shopping, and a visit to the club, Su Wanwan fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. And she slept soundly. After an unknown length of time, it seemed like there was some noise. Su Wanwan wanted to open her eyes in hazy confusion, but it felt like her ears were covered, and thatnoise disappeared. She turned her head and snuggled into a familiar warm embrace, and fell back into a deep sleep. The violet down comforter was pulled back, Huo Jingshen covered Su Wanwans ears, narrowed his eyes, and watched the cold, silent man wrap Mo Weiyi, who was only wearing a thin nightdress, in his jacket, and simply lifted her up in his arms. His movements were not gentle, but because Mo Weiyi was already drunk and asleep, she mumbled a few words with her face scrunched up, then buried herself in his chest without responding. Thank you. Hearing this, Huo Jingshens thin lips curled up, Likewise. Xiao Yebai: He nodded slightly, quickly picked up the unconscious woman, and left. Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: 449, Dressed up to the nines Chapter 449: 449, Dressed up to the nines Late at night, Lishui Bay Villa. Upon hearing a noise, Aunt Zhou hastily got out of bed and saw Xiao Yebai carrying Mo Weiyi into the house. Mo Weiyis eyes were closed, her cheeks flushed red. She was wrapped tightly in her coat, her bare, white feet peeking out from under its hem. Young Master Xiao Before she could finish, Xiao Yebai interrupted her, Aunt Zhou, close the door. Yes. Aunt Zhou quickly obeyed. By the time she turned around after closing the door, the man had already disappeared. * * Upstairs, Xiao Yebai laid Mo Weiyi on the bed and threw his coat onto the sofa. His gaze fell on her pyjamas. Pink, adorned with little bears, a two-piece ensemble. Mo Weiyi had never worn such a style of sleepwear before. Her sleepwear usually consisted of loose, comfortable nightgowns or robes. This childish outfit seemed to highlight her innocent charm. He frowned slightly. Underneath the quiet orange light, Mo Weiyis eyes were closed. Her beautifully delicate face wore a slight frown as she rubbed it against the pillow, mumbling her discomfort. His slender fingers, with their prominent joints, pulled the covers over her. Then he moved the strands of hair from her face, revealing a clean face devoid of makeup. The redness on her cheeks looked unusually pronounced. As soon as he had carried her home, he had detected a strong smell of alcohol. Tears stained the corners of her eyes, her eyelashes wet. She looked pitiful. As if recognizing something, Mo Weiyi mumbled a word, Xiaobai. The mans eyes darkened significantly, becoming deeper and more Intense. Mo Weiyi frowned in her haze, uncomfortable with the pressure on both sides of the quilt. She wriggled around restlessly underneath the covers. Finally, she turned over again and fell asleep on her side. Xiao Yebais dark eyes squinted once more. For some reason, the gloom in his eyes began to rise, fermenting into a mixture of displeasure and mockery. He reached out to turn her back round, and held on to her tightly, as if compelled to do so. With a stretch of his long arm, he switched off the bedside lamp. * * * The next morning. Mo Weiyi woke up with a splitting headache. Her fine eyebrows knitted together tightly. As she tried to raise her hand, she felt a familiar warmth. Upon opening her eyes, she found herself face-to-face with his handsome face, more familiar than ever. He was deep in sleep, dressed in comfortable home wear, looking refined and sexy. Watching him, Mo Weiyi experienced a moment of mental blankness. She remembered going out to drink yesterday. Afterwards, she called Su Wanwan, then went to Su Wanwans house. So why was she now in her own bed? What had happened? Her head throbbed with a dull pain. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes, letting out a groan of agony. She pushed against him, harder, until the man finally woke up. When he let go, she immediately got up and wrapped herself in the quilt. What are you doing? At the same moment, his voice rang out, and Mo Weiyis hand was held once more. Without turning back, her voice grew colder, Let go. For a moment, the room fell silent. Then, his strong, masculine hand released her. Mo Weiyi wrapped herself in the quilt and walked to the closet, took out a robe to put on, then headed to the bathroom. Before long, the sound of running water could be heard. Xiao Yebai just sat there quietly for a while before he got up. When Mo Weiyi stepped out of the shower, the man was already dressed elegantly, standing in front of the dressing mirror. He was tying his tie. The dark shirt and trousers made him appear sophisticated and meticulous. A soft cotton sweater added a touch of gentleness. There was no emotion in his clean, handsome features. Seeing her walk out, he merely glanced at her before saying, Drink the hangover tea on the table. Mo Weiyi bit her lips upon seeing the steaming cup on the table, I dont want to! The mans hand faltered slightly, but his tone remained calm, Suit yourself. Mo Weiyi glared at him instantly, Dont you have anything to say to me? After taking a hot shower, although her head still ached she had cooled down somewhat. This was the first time such a big row had taken place in the two years since they got married. During previous minor disputes, if he became cold, she would always take the initiative to make peace. But yesterday, she didnt go and seek reconciliation as usual, and he had offered no explanation. Xiao Yebai picked up his black coat, his voice clean and calm, but devoid of warmth, Dont ever disappear overnight like that again. Mo Weiyi huffed in irritation, Im asking about what happened yesterday afternoon! As soon as she stepped into his office, she had seen that man, Tian Ye, standing beside his desk, handling his coat. The intimacy and ambiguity in the air were palpable. She had even thought, since she seldom visited him at his workplace, did Tian Ye often come and go from his office like this when she was not aware? Even handling his private belongings? She couldnt stand these speculations. Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: 450, Betrayal Act Chapter 450: 450, Betrayal Act At that moment, she couldnt help herself, and she didnt want to either. Some words just slipped out of her mouth, unintentionally hurting him. She admitted she was wrong, but was he truly blameless? He clearly knew that she despised Tian Ye and that he had taken advantage of him in the past, so why did he allow the woman to get so close to him? Xiao Yebai checked the time, What do you want to hear? The mans apparent indifference and resistance left Mo Weiyi looking paler by the second. What do I want to hear? She scoffed coldly, her tone laced with a hint of mockery, You tell me, what do I want to hear? What you want to hear, is it my explanation, or something to put your mind at ease? Xiao Yebai looked up from behind his glasses, the look in his eyes revealing a clear wave of emotion. It was very much like impatience. Mo Weiyi felt her eyes well up with tears, her voice trembling as she rebuffed him, Once youve explained, I will be able to put it to rest. I am not a mind reader! You keep silent and I have no idea whats on your mind! Are you really involved with her, or is it just a coincidence? I want to hear the truth. Alright. Xiao Yebais voice was as calm as ever, I drank too much at the social event yesterday and felt unwell. She happened to be at the same restaurant, so she gave me a ride back to the office. When I went in to change, you arrived. Thats all. Mo Weiyi: Is that it? Is it that simple? Then why did she have your overcoat? She quickly posed another question. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his lips pulling into a faint smile, You can throw that overcoat away. Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Any other questions? Xiao Yebai glanced at his wristwatch, I have an important meeting at nine. If there arent any more, Im heading to the office. Mo Weiyi watched him, then abruptly turned around, presenting her back to him without uttering a word. An icy silence filled the room behind her. After a while, the sound of footsteps faded, gradually disappearing until the room fell quiet once more. Mo Weiyi remained standing in the same position. She didnt know how much time had passed until a gust of cold wind blew in from the open French windows. She shivered and snapped back to reality, moving towards the closet. * * Meanwhile, at the Imperial Court villa. Su Wanwan was in a daze from sleep when she suddenly raised her hand to slap someone. With a loud smack. Resonant and crisp. Bastard! Baby, who are you calling a bastard, hm? Su Wanwan shook awake, her eyes wide open. She looked around, her little face filled with confusion, What are you doing here? Wheres Weiyi? She went home, Huo Jingshen replied. Su Wanwan was at a loss for words, Why did she go home? What time is it now? She painfully pushed him away, turned around, and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. Eight-thirty? She went home this early? Didnt Mo Xiaose get drunk last night? And why didnt she wake her up when she left? When she turned her gaze back, she suddenly noticed a bag and clothes on the sofa. Su Wanwan blinked twice, as if suddenly realizing something. She extended her hand and growled through clenched teeth, You bastard! What the hell happened? Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased by the repeated interruptions. Speak up! Su Wanwan was fuming, lifting her little foot to kick him, though she was quickly restrained. Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, Her husband came by last night and took her away. What! Su Wanwan shouted in surprise, nearly screeching, Why did you let that jerk in? You even let him take Weiyi away? Are you even human? Do you have any humanity left? As she spoke, she stretched out her little paw to scratch, claw at him, pinch him. She was really going to be killed by this incompetent teammate! He actually let that scum in while she was asleep and even allowed Mo Weiyi to be taken away. He was simply inhuman! His hands were quickly grabbed and pressed upwards. Huo Jingshens strikingly angular and handsome face confronted hers in close proximity, with his deep penetrating eyes staring directly into her agitated ones, Do I lack humanity? Su Wanwan: Last night, after the two interlopers had left, the little girl was fast asleep. Considering her recent hard work in her studies, he had suppressed any urge to disturb her. And now, it was still early, and he remembered her schedule had no morning classes today. Downstairs in the restaurant. Enraged, Su Wanwan fiercely stuffed a roasted sausage into her mouth. The man across from her was impeccably dressed, expressing complete contentment. His radiant demeanor was simply indescribable. He even kindly reminded her, Eat slowly, no one is fighting you for it. Barely had he uttered these words when Su Wanwan bit down hard on another large piece, chewing ferociously. Huo Jingshens eyes dimmed even further. Then, he cleared his throat and diverted his gaze. Did this girl understand what she was doing? After the meal, Huo Jingshen drove her to school. Upon reaching the school entrance, Su Wanwan got her things from Mo Weiyi, then turned around to face Huo Jingshen, To punish you for your betrayal last night, I wont come home prior to exams! Humph! Having said this, she quickly got out of the car and left. Huo Jingshen: * * Su Wanwan was really mad, and immediately called Mo Weiyi just as she arrived at the classroom. Remarkably, that girl did not show up at the school. Su Wanwan asked her, Dont you have an English class today? Dont feel like going. But exams are soon, arent you meant to rank within the top 10 students in your class? Dont feel like doing that. Su Wanwan felt that something was wrong with her. Her tone was subdued, as if she had been dealt a heavy blow. Did Xiaobai do something to you? After he took you home, he didnt touch you, did he? Mo Weiyi remained silent. Su Wanwan immediately retorted, This is all my fault. I was so tired last night that I fell into an incredibly deep sleep. I had no idea my husband had brought someone in. But dont worry, Ive already taught him a good lesson! Although afterwards, she was severely bullied by himcough, cough, cough. Wanwan, Im really tired. Hearing that, Su Wanwan quickly responded, If youre tired, dont come in today. You had a lot of alcohol last night, so its okay to rest today Its not that. Mo Weiyis voice was low and pessimistic, lacking her usual exuberance and energy. She asked, Why is it that whenever theres a conflict, Im always the one who sooth things over? Why cant he make an effort to coax me? Wanwan, Im really tired. Su Wanwan frowned, What on earth happened yesterday afternoon? Mo Weiyi then narrated her encounter with Tian Ye in the office, including how she pressed for an explanation. Wanwan asked, So did you believe his explanation? I did. Huh. Su Wenwen didnt understand, So what are you hung up about? Mo Weiyi explained, He didnt offer the explanation voluntarily. I had to force it out of him, and moreover Xiao Yebai spoke to her with an air of impatience. Mo Weiyi admitted that she felt a chill in her heart. She was his wife. When he was misunderstood to have an affair with another woman, shouldnt he, as a husband, have promptly made an effort to explain of his own accord? Not only did he fail to explain, she had to pry it out of him. And even then, he spoke with such impatience So, what do you plan to do now? Su Wenwen asked again. Mo Weiyi honestly said, I dont know. Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: 451, Roman Holiday Chapter 451: 451, Roman Holiday So what do you plan to do now? Su Wenwen asked again. Mo Weiyi was candid, I dont know. In my opinion, Xiao Yebai is so aloof because he knows you like him, right? Youve been pursuing him and treating him well since you were young, but what about him? You should let him experience what it feels like to be treated indifferently! Just separate, live in the school dorm, and use this time to study well and prepare for final exams. But I cant focus on studying at the moment, Mo Weiyi said listlessly. Originally, she had agreed to Xiaobais request to be in the top ten for the purpose of having a baby, but now it seemed like doing anything was meaningless. Mo Xiaose! Let me tell you, studying is for yourself! So is hard work! Its not for a child! Its not for anyone else! What you learn will always be yours! And you have already been working hard for more than a month, you only have twenty more days left, just because of Xiao Yebai, youre going to say I give up? Is everything for him? Can you stop being so pathetic? Su Wanwan finished, took a breath, looked at the time, I have to go to class, you should think things over. After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for a reply. * * Mo Weiyi lay on the sofa and slowly put down the phone. Her clear catlike eyes stared steadily at the ceiling, unmoving for quite a while. Until the phone rang again. This time it was Ling Zhizhou who was calling. Mo Weiyi answered, Hello. Hello Sister, your husband didnt get mad at you yesterday, did he? What? Mo Weiyi was momentarily taken aback. Your textbook, the signature was torn off by me, your husband didnt get mad, right? Oh. Mo Weiyi bit her lip, Dont worry, its okay. In fact, Xiao Yebai hadnt even seen the textbook, but now none of it mattered anymore. Glad to hear that. Ling Zhizhou paused, then said, This afternoon our English class is going to screen a movie, are you coming to watch? Roman Holiday. I wont be coming, Im not feeling very well. Alright then, Sister, you should rest. Mm. * * Mo Group. After finishing the morning meeting, Xiao Yebai returned to his office. Zhong Kai followed him, and after thinking for a while, he went back to his office, then took out a bag and knocked on the door. Come in. With caution, Zhong Kai walked in, President Xiao, this is for you. Xiao Yebai glanced at it, expressionless, What is it? Zhong Kai quickly replied, This is a scarf that the princess gave you yesterday, theres a little coffee stain on it, but it should be okay after washing. The princess had a misunderstanding with President Xiao and Miss Tian yesterday, and made a bit of a fuss. But now that a whole day has passed, the two of them should have made up by now, right? Zhong Kai saw Xiao Yebai calmly and rationally during the meeting, acting the same as usual, and concluded that this pair of young newlyweds must have made up. If Xiao Yebai knows now that the princess came to give him a gift yesterday, he will certainly be very happy. Who would have thought that as soon as he put the bag on the desk Get out. The mans voice turned very cold. .. Zhong Kai was startled. Whats going on with President Xiao? Receiving a gift from the princess, shouldnt he be happy? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, Do I need to ask you to leave? Zhong Kais legs wobbled in fear, he quickly turned around, Ill go right away. What a scare, being so fierce when someone was just being nice and giving a gift. After the door closed, Xiao Yebai sat there, the black eyes falling on the bag. A while later, his slender bony hand took the bag. Inside was a cream-colored scarf stained with coffee. His brows furrowed slightly. He crumpled up the scarf and stuffed it back into the bag, unobtrusively putting it away in a drawer below. * * In the afternoon, Mo Weiyi still went to school. Over time, she got used to going to school everyday, occasionally staying at home made her restless. Su Wanwan saw her daydreaming and rolled her eyes, Im going to the library. Are you coming with me? Mm. Mo Weiyi nodded listlessly. The two came to the library, Su Wanwan soon became absorbed in studying, after reading several pages of Communication Theory, she looked up to see Mo Weiyi staring out the window in a daze. Su Wanwan couldnt help but roll her eyes again. She was really fed up, just because of a man she was acting as if her life was falling apart. She would never do that. Sister? a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. Mo Weiyi returned to her senses and looked at Ling Zhizhou. So you came to school. How are you feeling? Ling Zhizhou asked. Im feeling better. Do you want to watch a movie with me? Ling Zhizhou added, Its an original soundtrack movie; it will help you learn English. What movie? Su Wanwan asked. Roman Holiday. Su Wanwan nodded, it was a romance movie. As her eyes roamed around, she suddenly said, I want to watch it too, lets go together. Mo Weiyi looked at her in surprise. Come on. Su Wanwan got up, pulling her along. It was time for her to see what it really meant to be in a mutually loving relationship. * * Roman Holiday is a classic black-and-white Hollywood film, telling a romantic love story between a European princess and an American reporter in Rome, Italy. The movie lasts two hours. Su Wanwan sat next to Mo Weiyi, occasionally throwing a glance at her while watching the movie. Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: 452, don’t lower your head, the crown will fall off. Chapter 452: 452, dont lower your head, the crown will fall off. Mo Weiyi looked at the screen, the outline of his face was serene and cold. Su Wenwen only remembered that this movie was quite romantic, and she wanted Mo Weiyi to see what a truly mutual relationship of love should be like, not like her fervent efforts in a one-sided situation. But she never expected the ending would be a breakup. Although their time in Rome was romantic, beautiful, and filled with delightful surprises, it seemed to be destined that the princess couldnt be with the common man. For her own country, the princess made a rational choice and gave up her love. When the movie ended, Su Wanwan glanced at Mo Weiyis expression. Oh my. He looked even more downcast than before. The classroom lights were switched on, and the teacher said a few words before dismissing the class. Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi left the classroom, just reaching the staircase when a voice sounded from behind. Miss Mo? They stopped and turned around. A girl had caught up. She was wearing a short, goose-yellow down jacket and short hair that barely reached her ears, a stranger to them. Miss Mo, my name is Xia Ling. May I speak to you in private? Su Wanwan entered the elevator, Ill wait for you in the reading room. Okay. Once Su Wanwan was gone, Xia Ling began, Miss Mo, I am Ling Zhizhous classmate, and his high school classmate too. What do you want to say? Xia Ling bit her lip, Miss Mo, Ling Zhizhou has had a hard life. His parents are no longer there, and he only has a sixty-year-old grandfather left to take care of at home. His excellent grades got him into Nancheng University, and all his living expenses are earned through his own hard work and frugality. He really isnt like you. Mo Weiyi didnt expect Ling Zhizhous family circumstances to be this complicated. But So what are you trying to say? Xia Ling bit her lip again, Miss Mo, Im not sure what you saw in Ling Zhizhou? Hes two years younger than you, and Ive seen pictures of your husband. I dont understand, if you have such an extraordinary husband, why are you clinging to Ling Zhizhou? If youre seeking excitement, there are so many boys in our school. Many of them are more handsome than Ling Zhizhou, their family circumstances are better, and they have more talent. So why must you Shut up! Mo Weiyi interrupted her sharply. Xia Ling froze in fear. Mo Weiyi looked at her with a cold expression and a mocking smile, Just curious, apart from being his classmate, what else are you to Ling Zhizhou? I You like him, dont you? As a young girl, having her feelings revealed so blatantly, Xia Lings face showed clear signs of embarrassment and discomfort. You cant win him over, and you blame me for sticking to him? Dont you think thats ridiculous? Mo Weiyi narrowed her beautiful cat-like eyes, Besides, Ling Zhizhou and I are just common friends. Im already married and have no plans to engage in a younger-man or extramarital relationship. Youre young and na?ve. I wont hold it against you. But what you said has upset me, you have to apologize. Apologize? Xia Lings face showed even more embarrassment, and she blurted out, Is what I said not right? You, a third-year student, are always with a freshman in the reading room. Dont you think its inappropriate? You even came to his classroom to find him, leading everyone to say that hes bootlicking the school flower! As long as you make a call, he runs over to help immediately! Last time, because of giving you an English textbook, he even had his grade deducted by the English teacher Xia Ling! Before she could finish, Ling Zhizhous voice suddenly sounded from behind them. Upon hearing his voice, Xia Lings face turned from blushing embarrassment to cold, pale white. Ling Zhizhou stood in the hallway, his normally gentle and handsome face now filled with unprecedented coldness and sharpness. What business is it of yours to meddle in my affairs? Who do you think you are? His voice was loud, and they were just outside the classroom and near the elevator door. It immediately drew the attention of some passing students. Xia Lings eyes quickly filled with tears, Zhizhou, I just I hate it when people meddle in my business! Zhizhou And, Ive told you before, I dont like you, Ling Zhizhous words were blunt and pointed, Could you please stop being so presumptuous? Tears fell rapidly from Xia Lings eyes. Under the whispering of the surrounding students, she could no longer endure this humiliation, she turned and left quickly. Ling Zhizhou stood there, his hand clenched into a fist, his face looked grim. Only when the surrounding students gradually dispersed did he turn and look at Mo Weiyi, Senior, Im sorry, she misunderstood. Please dont mind. Mo Weiyi looked somewhat embarrassed, Is what she said just now, all true? A trace of pain flashed across Ling Zhizhous young and handsome face, but he didnt deny it, My parents, and my sister, they all passed away in a car accident. Mo Weiyi: She had only heard about his sister before. She didnt expect it to be You dont have to feel sorry for me. Zhizhou forced a laugh, as if already relieved, There are so many unfortunate people in this world, and its not just me. Besides, its been a long time since that happened. Mo Weiyi nodded. After a while, she said, Your friend misunderstood my relationship with you, youd better explain it to her. Ling Zhizhou continued to smile, Dont mind her. Mo Weiyi: ** Things like this happening, Mo Weiyis already gloomy mood instantly became worse. She didnt have the mood to study anymore, so she directly took a car home. At seven oclock in the evening, Chen Jin arrived. Although Mo Weiyi didnt have the mood to study, it was not nice to let her leave straight after arriving, so she obediently got up and followed her into the study. However, Chen Jin quickly noticed that she was somewhat distracted and hadnt even done the exercises assigned three days ago. You finish these exercises first. Chen Jin said. Mo Weiyi resignedly picked up her pen. Not long after, a burst of engine noise suddenly sounded outside the window. Chen Jins eyes lit up, looking at Mo Weiyi, but she saw no reaction from her who was still holding the pen, buried in her work. Chen Jin couldnt help but remind her, Miss Mo, it seems that Mr. Xiao is back. It was only eight oclock now, Xiao Yebai rarely returned at this time. If it were in the past, Mo Weiyi would have already been excitedly trying to go look for him. But now Mo Weiyi bit the pen, Teacher Chen, please explain this problem to me. Sure. Chen Jin was forced to concentrate and start explaining the problem. One thing led to another, and soon it was nine oclock. Chen Jin picked up the cup and took a sip of water to moisten her throat, Miss Mo, its time. Ill leave for the day. Okay. Chen Jin got up to pack up her belongings, but saw that Mo Weiyi was still sitting there, engrossed in reading. Are these two in a cold war? Thinking back on how Mo Weiyi had inexplicably disappeared and hadnt come back for class the night before, Chen Jin seemed lost in thought. As soon as she left the study, she saw Xiao Yebai sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book. Mr. Xiao. As soon as she registered this, Chen Jin immediately called out. The man raised his head, his icy gaze piercing through his glasses and catching sight of her. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment before lowering his head to continue reading. Zhou Shu on one side quickly said, Teacher Chen, Old Liu is waiting for you in the garage. Okay. Before she left, Chen Jin gave Xiao Yebai another look. He was sitting there, head down, his pale, slender fingers holding a very thick book. Under the warm light, the sight of him wearing glasses looked particularly refined. After Chen Jin left, the living room once again returned to its usual quietness. Xiao Yebai flipped a page of his book, then raised his left hand to look at his watch. Nine-thirty. It had been half an hour since the class had ended. He put down his book, stood up and, with his long legs, walked to the study, pushing open the door and walked straight in. Under the bright light, Mo Weiyi sat behind the desk with a serious look on her face, hard at work. Hearing the sound, she looked up at him. However, she didnt call him Xiaobai in her usual sweet voice nor did she immediately get up and cling to him as she would usually. She didnt even utter a word and just lowered her head to continue reading. Xiao Yebais deep black eyes unexpectedly narrowed a little. He stood there, also silent. Only after another ten minutes did he finally step forward, his slender fingers tapping twice on the black desk, Its time to sleep. Mo Weiyi put down the pen, collected all her books and put them in her bag. Just as she was about to leave with her bag, her wrist was held by the mans clearly defined hand. Xiao Yebai, looking down at the young girl who barely reached his shoulder, his black eyes calm and his voice low, Are you still angry? No. Mo Weiyis voice was flat, eerily like his usual tone. Xiao Yebais fingers, which had been gripping her wrist, tightened slightly. She had delicate bone structure, and her wrist was so fine it seemed fragile, even if he was holding it through her thick wool sweater, it felt as if he could break it if he applied any more pressure. Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: 453, move to school [Benefits] Chapter 453: 453, move to school [Benefits] Mo Weiyi had realized that. After a brief struggle, he said, I need to go upstairs to take a bath and sleep. His dark, deep eyes shifted slightly in the change before Xiao Yebai released his hand. Mo Weiyi left the study at a leisurely pace, put his school bag on the sofa in the living room, and then went upstairs. Xiao Yebai stood still in the study. After a while, he pulled out a lighter and a cigarette, and lit a cigarette for himself. Soon, the study was filled with the strong smell of smoke. Having removed his glasses, he squinted his eyes and smoked in a completely indifferent and aloof manner. Through the greenish-white smoke, the expression on his face was even more difficult to understand. When the cigarette was burnt out, he extinguished the butt and went upstairs. * * Pushing open the bedroom door, Mo Weiyi was in the bathroom taking a shower. Xiao Yebai glanced at the scene and turned to the room next door. When he returned to the bedroom after taking his bath, Mo Weiyi had already finished showering and was lying on the side of the bed with his eyes closed. Xiao Yebai walked over without hesitation and reached out to pull the womans arm that was turned away from him. Mo Weiyi twitched reflexively and said struggle, I want to sleep. She closed her eyes and tried to turn her face away, but was quickly turned back by his hand, along with all her hair being swept back behind her ear. Xiao Yebai commanded in a firm voice, Open your eyes. The eyelashes of Mo Weiyi were trembling nonstop. They were already damp, but upon hearing his words, she squeezed her eyes shut even more tightly. Speak. Dont bully me No, call my name. Mo Weiyi bit her lip. Call my name. Weiyi, call my name. Weiyi Let go of me Her voice was fragmented and helpless, almost pitiful. You? Xiao Yebais voice was mocking. Looking at the pure face in front of him, he questioned, Who are you calling? Mo Weiyi bit her lip, not wanting to speak. Seeing her reaction, his eyes darkened and he abruptly raised his hand. His voice was almost oppressive, Why did you stop speaking? Mo Weiyi shook his head, and she felt dizzy and almost unconscious. Xiao Yebai brought her into his arms and only then did he turn off the light and sleep in a manner akin to finding relief. * * The next morning, Xiao Yebai woke up early. After getting ready, he walked to the side of the bed and looked at the still sleeping woman. A large, well-defined hand picked up the alarm clock from the bedside table and turned off all the preset alarms. Then he picked up his coat and left. When Mo Weiyi woke up again, it was already bright outside. Her mind was fuzzy, and she didnt know where she was for a moment. She kept her eyes shut and lay in bed until she gradually became fully awake, only then did she get up and walk to the bathroom. After freshening up, she went downstairs to have brunch. Then she called Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou, please bring me a suitcase to the bedroom upstairs. Aunt Zhou was surprised, Princess, are you planning a trip? Mo Weiyi picked up a napkin and wiped her lips. Her eyes were bright, but her expression was cold and distant, Im moving to live in the school. What? Aunt Zhou was even more surprised. Even when Mo Weiyi was in boarding school during high school, she never lived there every day. Out of five school days, she would come home four or five times, so why was she suddenly doing this now? I have exams coming up. I want to concentrate on studying. After finishing her sentence, Mo Weiyi got up and left. Aunt Zhou wondered if this was a whim of Mo Weiyis? But as she came upstairs with a suitcase and entered Mo Weiyis room, all the clothes scattered messily on the bed and sofa in there, Mo Weiyi who was in dismay said, Aunt Zhou, please bring a few more suitcases for me. Whats happening with needing more than one suitcase? In the end, she had packed up to six suitcases! Mo Weiyi felt a bit sheepish, Aunt Zhou, Im only staying for twenty days. Isnt this a bit overboard? Aunt Zhous mouth had been twitching. Partly because she was exhausted, but also because she was amazed. She said, Princess, you can come back whenever you need anything. Right. Mo Weiyi nodded, You go call Uncle Liu to help me move my luggage. Alright, Princess. * * Once downstairs, Aunt Zhou immediately dialed Xiao Yebais number. As soon as he answered, she reported, Theres a problem, Young Master Xiao. The princess said shes moving to live in her school dormitory. Her suitcases have all been packed. What should we do, Young Master Xiao? Aunt Zhou was worried. She initially thought packing one suitcase wasnt a big deal. Occasionally living in the dormitory for one or two days to relax was understandable. She didnt expect that this time she would pack six suitcases and say she would stay for twenty days! Thinking back to the night before last, when the princess didnt come home for no reason, and was later brought back by Xiao Yebai drunk This was bad, there wasnt going to be any trouble between this young couple, right? It seemed as though the princess was preparing for a separation! The more Aunt Zhou thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Young Master Xiao, you should quickly coax the princess. Shes just a child at heart. Say a few sweet words, and Im sure shell Aunt Zhou. Xiao Yebai interrupted her lightly, Im very busy at work. In the future, dont call me unless its important. Young Master Xiao Before Aunt Zhou could finish, the call had been hung up. * * Aunt Zhou had no choice but to call Old Liu to help move the luggage. Packing up took almost half a day. By the time they were downstairs, Aunt Zhou looked at the clock and said, Princess, eat dinner before leaving. Maybe Young Master Xiao would be home from work by then. No, its only five oclock, I will eat at school with Wanwan. Mo Weiyi put on her backpack, put on her beret and then walked outside. Who wouldve thought that as soon as she was about to enter the car, the barking sounds of a small dog rang out. Aunt Zhou quickly said, Princess, look they dont want you to leave. She just couldnt bring herself to say those two names. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and turned back towards the backyard. In the kennel, Hua Xiaobai and Bai Xiaobai, who were then half a year old Labradors, both wiggled their little short legs and ran over as soon as they saw their owner. Mo Weiyi squatted down and petted their little heads, Mommy is going to live at school, you two need to behave. Woof! Woof woof woof! Aunt Zhou was almost in tears watching this. This It seemed like a tearful farewell. Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: 454, where does your confidence come from? Chapter 454: 454, where does your confidence come from? Mo Weiyi reluctantly walked away after lingering for a long time. Hearing the pitiful cries of the puppy, aunt Zhou attempted to convince Weiyi to stay as they walked away, but he was obstinate, his small face cold and unyielding. When he reached the entrance, just as Uncle Liu was opening the rear car door, Mo Weiyi suddenly turned around and walked back into the villa. Princess, did you leave something behind? Aunt Zhou hurried after him. Leaving something behind would be good, it would delay his departure a bit longer. It was almost six oclock, and perhaps if young master Xiao came home from work, he might convince him to stay. But unexpectedly, Mo Weiyi went straight to the cabinet by the balcony, and picked up the small blue box on top. Im taking them with me. Aunt Zhous eyes welled up immediately, Princess, let me come with you, I can help you tidy up your dormitory. No need, you should prepare dinner at home. Aunt Zhou: She was moving to the dormitory, yet still worrying whether the young master would have dinner when he gets home, it was truly heartbreaking. So, when Mo Weiyi took the small tortoise and went on his way, Aunt Zhou stood at the doorway, relentlessly wiping away her tears until it started getting dark, and Xiao Yebai finally returned home. Aunt Zhou, whats wrong? Aunt Zhou sniffed, but seeing the mans expressionless and cold demeanor, she felt a resentment well up within her. Without uttering a single word, she turned around and walked away. Xiao Yebai: ** Mo Weiyi placed a call to Chen Jin on the way. Miss Mo? Teacher Chen, I am sending you a new address. Come here for tutoring tonight; Uncle Liu will take you home afterwards. Dont worry. Alright. Chen Jin readily agreed. Upon arriving at the school, the car pulled up directly in front of the dormitory entrance. Under the streetlight, Su Wanwan was already waiting. To be honest, she had just impulsively suggested that Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai should live separately after a fit of anger yesterday. Given Weiyis personality and her unchanging adoration for Xiao Yebai over the past ten years, she assumed this time would be like every other time; they would quarrel for two or three days, and then Weiyi would continue to actively appease that man. Every time, it was her at the brink of despair, and also her who actively capitulated and sought to appease him. Who would have believed that Weiyi was actually moving into the dormitory? When she received Weiyis call earlier, Su Wanwan was genuinely taken aback. And upon seeing the six suitcases in the back of the car when the rear door opened, Su Wanwan was utterly stunned. True to her status as a noble little princess, even living in a dormitory required this much luggage. Upon seeing the small tortoise Mo Weiyi was carrying Su Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically, My dear princess, did you come here on vacation? Mo Weiyi complained, Why cant we keep dogs in the dormitory? Su Wanwan gave a fake smile, Are you planning to open a zoo in the dormitory? With Uncle Liu carrying the suitcases, they both entered the girls dormitory, Weiyi didnt forget to instruct, Wanwan, come sleep with me tonight, Im afraid of sleeping alone. Su Wanwan felt helpless, If youre afraid of sleeping alone, why did you move here? Weiyi replied, If I go back to the old house, he will definitely come looking for me. Then wed do that. Even though Xiao Yebai appeared cultured and aloof, as if he were above worldly desires, he was after all a young man with normal desires, and he had quite a need in that regard. They had been married for two years and had their share of experiences, so he knew her better than she knew herself. Though it used to be pleasurable in the past and she enjoyed it, she only felt that she was vulnerable now. She had planned to give him the cold shoulder, but she had been easily Given her current state of mind, she really had no desire to maintain a cold facade in public while being passionate in private with him. After much thought, moving to the dormitory was the best choice, and it would also give both of them an opportunity to cool down. Mo Weiyis dormitory was right next to Su Wanwans, though nobody had lived there before. Once Uncle Liu had moved all the luggage and tidied up a bit, he drove away. After Weiyi and Wanwan had dinner at the cafeteria, they returned to the dormitory entrance where Chen Jin was already waiting. Miss Mo. Chen Jin greeted, carrying a bag and dressed in a white down jacket. After greeting her, he nodded at Su Wanwan. Wanwan, Im going to study now, come find me later, okay? Alright. Chen Jin followed Mo Weiyi into the dormitory, took one look at the six suitcases that hadnt been unpacked yet, and frowned, Miss Mo, are you Mo Weiyi smiled, I will be staying here until the exams are over. Mr. Chen, you will come here for my tutoring from now on. Oh. Chen Jin couldnt help but ask, Does Mr. Xiao agree? Mo Weiyis smile didnt fade, Even if he doesnt agree, he will have to. Chen Jin could only nod his head. It seems that they have decided to live apart? ** Lishui Bay Villa. In the dining room, after finishing his dinner, Xiao Yebai returned to the living room, picked up a book, and settled down on the sofa. Aunt Zhou, with a cloth in her hand, wiped the table, and then moved on to wipe the coffee table. After a while. Auntie Zhou. Xiao Yebais calm voice echoed, You have wiped this tea table three times already. Auntie Zhou stood up, looking at the man who was still engrossed in reading, she finally couldnt help but say, Master Xiao, no offence, our princess has moved to the dormitory at school, are you not worried at all? You came back and didnt ask, even after dinner, you are still here reading books? Xiao Yebai didnt even look up, he turned a page with his slender finger, his tone was very calm, She will come back tomorrow night, she dares not sleep alone. Auntie Zhous mouth twitched spasmodically. She will come back tomorrow night? My young master, where exactly did you get this confidence from? Its great that she wants to dedicate time to her studies. Xiao Yebai added another sentence. Auntie Zhou again: Finally, Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids, Do you want to wipe it for the fourth time? Auntie Zhou rubbed the cloth, and left reluctantly. ** Nine oclock at night. Just finishing class, Mo Weiyi immediately picked up her phone. When she found no text messages or phone calls, Mo Weiyi fiercely bit her lip. Although it was expected, her heart still sank in an instant. Miss Mo, Ill go first. Ill walk you out. Mo Weiyi regained her composure, stood up and put on her coat. Chen Jin packed up his things and followed Mo Weiyi out of the dorm. At the door, Uncle Liu was already standing there waiting. Princess. Mo Weiyi looked at him, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but stopped. Uncle Liu hurriedly asked, Princess, is there something you want to ask me? Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, opened her mouth, No. Uncle Liu: After Uncle Liu left with Chen Jin, Mo Weiyi stood there, her mouth pouted in anger. When Su Wanwan came back from her study session, she went to Mo Weiyis dorm after cleaning up. Lying in bed, the two of them started their bedtime talk. While it was called a bedtime talk, in fact, it was mainly Mo Weiyi who was talking. Wanwan, when do you think hell come and find me? Not a single message until now. Do you think hes still entertaining guests outside? Anyway, I wont be the first to send him a message this time! Wanwan? Wanwan? When she turned to look, Su Wanwan had her eyes closed and was already asleep. Mo Weiyi sighed, turned off the lights and prepared to sleep. Except With something on her mind, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She couldnt help but pick up her phone and open WeChat again. Kiss Xiaobais avatar quietly lay at the top of the WeChat call list. As if possessed, Mo Weiyi opened the profile picture, then started scrolling through past chat records. Scrolling through one after another, she found It was always her talking, all sorts of emojis, voice recordings, texts; she always sent multiple messages at a time, the messages were long and dense Xiao Yebais replies were always very short, generally one or two words, without any emojis or punctuation. Mo Weiyi bit her lip, the light reflected from the screen made her face turn pale repeatedly. Then, she suddenly turned off the screen, stuffed her phone under the pillow, and closed her eyes tightly. ** Lishui Bay Villa. Late at night. In the bedroom upstairs, Xiao Yebai leaned against the bed reading a book. Apart from the occasional sound of turning pages, the entire room was unusually quiet. Until his phone suddenly rang. Skeletal long fingers immediately picked up the phone next to him. Seeing the name on the screen, his eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, he slid to answer the call, Hello. Damn, rare event, youre answering my call at this hour? The person on the other line was surprised, Whats up? Doesnt your princess usually sleep at 10? Its twelve now, youre not If you know its twelve, why are you still calling? Xiao Yebais tone was very cold, no different from usual. However, the caller sensed something was off, Yeah, why would you pick up the phone at twelve? Somethings off! Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: 455, Sleepwalking Young Master Xiao Chapter 455: 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 class 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 silently lay 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 seconds later, 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 minutes later, there was a hurried knocking sound coming 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 blankly. 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 cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, held the glass, 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 glass of red wine, elegantly held the wine glass 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 okay last 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 me last night out of the blue, dont you remember? she hurriedly asked. Xiao Yebai was still nonchalant, 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. Because last 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 blankets, Baby Wanwan, Im sleepy. Werent you asleep by ten oclock last 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 blanket, Get up, come running with me, then well have breakfast and go study! Mo Weiyis face scrunches up, Its Saturday, weve no classes, why do we have to run, its so cold outside! Physical fitness to defend our homeland! Su Wanwan explained, warming up, brimming with vitality. She saw that Mo Weiyi had closed her eyes again, so she went straight to lift up the blanket, lightly slapping her on her bum. Ah! Mo Weiyi screamed. She was instantly reminded of the fear of being under Su Wanwans command when she was in high school. Slightly regretful, what should she do now? Hurry up and get up! Su Wanwan slapped her again, then played 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 for ladylike 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 door last 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 similar so Su Wanwans clothes and shoes fit her perfectly. Accompanying Su Wanwan downstairs after dawdling and dilly-dallying, they arrived on the school playground at eight oclock. They thought there wouldnt be many people around, but surprisinglythose who played football were playing, 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 a lap, 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 playground, 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 black 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 456 - Chapter 456: 456, Xiaobai: Come home with me Chapter 456: 456, Xiaobai: Come home with me Senior sister? Mo Weiyi raised his head, looking at Ling Zhizhou nearby, Are you running? Ling Zhizhous forehead was still covered in sweat, his hair somewhat damp. The weather was deathly cold, yet he was only wearing a thin sweater, his body radiating heat, his smile so sunny. Playing soccer., he said, then looked down at Mo Weiyi again, I thought I recognized you wrongly, who wouldve thought it was really you. It was rare to see Mo Weiyi dressed like this. On ordinary days, she was always meticulously made up, her outfit carefully chosen, her demeanor aloof, like a high and mighty little princess. But now, she was dressed in simple, lightweight sportswear, her face clean without makeup. Under the morning sun, her pretty little face was fair and clean, her eyebrows and eyes vibrant, full of girly charm. Yet, due to her carefully looked after curly hair, and the noble aura naturally radiating from her, she was different from the other female college students seen all around campus. Its the weekend today, why did you come to school? He asked again. Mo Weiyi smiled and said, I moved on campus. You moved to campus? Ling Zhizhous eyes flickered, Why? Your husband Its nothing. Mo Weiyi touched her hair, Midterms are almost here, and I wanted to focus on studying. I see. Ling Zhizhou let out a bright sunny smile, Have you eaten breakfast yet? Do you want to eat together? Wanwan is still running, I have to wait for her. Then lets go together. Saying that, Ling Zhizhou threw the soccer ball on the ground. Owing to its bounciness, the ball bounced right up. He then elegantly started juggling it with his feet. Mo Weiyi tilted her little face to watch him, a smile gradually appearing on her face. With the beautiful refined girl and the lively robust boy standing together, the scene was youthful and wonderful, and very pleasing to the eye. Soon, another boy ran over, shouting, Ling Zhizhou, do you have a girlfriend now? Ling Zhizhous handsome and fair face turned slightly red, he quickly stepped on the soccer ball, Stop talking nonsense! Mo Weiyi looked at the boy, her red lips curled into a smile, her cat-like eyes fixed on him in silence. The boy felt uneasy under her gaze until he heard a female voice calling Weiyi. Weiyi? Mo Weiyi? Holy crap! His face became embarrassed, Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. He scratched his head and slunk away quickly. Sorry, senior sister, its just that your outfit Ling Zhizhou apologized but couldnt help but laugh. Mo Weiyi was embarrassed, looking at Su Wanwan who was running over, she explained helplessly, These clothes are Wanwans. She didnt know how that girl chose this outfit. Grey pants, black sneakers, even a grey shirt. She looked like a tomboy. It was completely against her aesthetics. She had to call a servant to bring a set of sportswear over later! By then, Su Wanwan had already reached them, she glanced at Ling Zhizhou. Senior sister. Ling Zhizhou greeted her with a smile. Well, the handsome and sunny younger schoolmate also had a shy smile. Su Wanwan nodded at him, then said, Lets eat breakfast outside. Why outside? Mo Weiyi asked. Because you took too long. Its already nine, theres no more food in the cafeteria. Su Wanwan complained. Mo Weiyi puffed up her cheeks, Then what are we going to eat outside? Ling Zhizhou immediately suggested, Lets get soy milk and fried dough sticks. The boss of that stand is someone I know, the food there tastes good and is clean. Alright then. Mo Weiyi followed Su Wanwan and they turned around, all three of them went along the running track towards the exit. But just after taking two steps, Su Wanwan abruptly stopped. Mo Weiyi almost bumped into her. Ouch. She pulled on Su Wanwans arm, Wanwan baby, you Your husband. Mo Weiyi was stunned for a second, and then looking up, indeed she saw the tall, cold man standing right in front of her. Ling Zhizhou also stopped in his tracks. Xiao Yebai was dressed all in black, his face expressionless. With his high nose bridge adorned with thin-framed glasses, he was as handsome and elegant as ever, just like the male lead walking out of a movie screen. Many people around them were stealing glances, especially the girls. Su Wanwan pursed her lips, asking in a low voice, What should we say? Mo Weiyi bit her lip and then lifted her chin, What is there to say? Lets just get breakfast, Im starving. What? Su Wanwans eyes widened. Seeing Xiao Yebai standing in front of her she wasnt going to run over to him? Instead just going to get breakfast? But seeing Mo Weiyi stepping forward, she had no choice but to follow. Mo Weiyi tried her best to keep her gaze ahead, marching on. But when she arrived close to him, just as she was about to pass him by, her arm was grabbed by a mans large hand. Su Wanwans mouth twitched slightly. Making an effort to keep her voice cold, Mo Weiyi said, What are you doing here? Xiao Yebai lowered his head, looking at the face in front of him, despite the lack of makeup, was still tender and exquisite. Just a moment ago, she was still smiling brightly at another man. The dark pupils narrowed, his tone was cold and deep, Come home with me. Mo Weiyi struggled a bit, but to no avail. She lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger as she stared at the mans indifferent eyebrows, Im not going back, Im staying on campus! Su Wanwan kept her gaze on Xiao Yebai the entire time. Because of her words, the mans facial features were clearly tensing up. Mo Weiyi then said, Let go of me, I need to get breakfast! What are you eating? Soy milk and fried dough sticks. Ill go with you. Once Xiao Yebai had spoken, not only Mo Weiyi, but even Su Wanwan and Ling Zhizhou were taken aback. The president of the Mo Group was going to accompany them to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks? Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: 457, Xiaobai Shows Goodwill Chapter 457: 457, Xiaobai Shows Goodwill Mo Weiyi pressed her lips together, then coldly spat out the phrase, As you wish! Xiao Yebai: Can you let go now? Mo Weiyi looked at him; her clear cat eyes displayed no trace of emotion. Xiao Yebai slowly released his grip. Mo Weiyi quickly turned and put both her arms around Su Wanwans, Baby Wanwan, lets go. Su Wanwan blinked and muttered, Ok. After they had left, Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes and followed suit. Ling Zhizhou, frowned deeply as he watched the mans tall, cold figure getting further away and reluctantly had to follow as well. * * The breakfast restaurant was just across the road from the schools entrance. The premises were small and cramped. As they walked in, two girls just finished eating and were about to leave. Su Wanwan rushed over, Over here! Mo Weiyi walked over and sat down at a table against the wall. Just as Su Wanwan was about to sit down next to her, she saw Xiao Yebai were standing by her side. Without uttering a word, he just stood there and silently stared at her. From a higher ground. His gaze was cold and calm. But it was clear that he had a purpose. Su Wanwans mouth twitched slightly, leaving her no choice but to get up and walk to the opposite side of the table. Right. Youre her husband, so you sit there. Xiao Yebai calmly sat down next to Mo Weiyi. Ling Zhizhou asked, Senior, what do you guys want to eat? Su Wanwan said, One order of soy milk and fried dough fritters per person, and a basket of xiaolongbao. Okay. After Ling Zhizhou finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yebai and asked, Mr. Xiao, what would you like to eat? His intentions were good, but when Xiao Yebai looked up at him, his voice cold and tone blunt, Have you been looking into me? Ling Zhizhou was shocked and hurriedly responded, No. Xiao Yebai subtly lifted the corner of his lips. Ling Zhizhou, ignore him. Mo Weiyi spoke once again. Ling Zhizhou nodded in agreement, then turned around and left. Soon, he and the restaurants owner brought over the breakfast, one by one, and placed the dishes on the table. The three of them immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Ling Zhizhou, sitting across from Xiao Yebai, watched him just sitting there, not eating, his face was cold and handsome. Honestly, he felt quite pressured. Even though Xiao Yebai only seemed a few years older than them. Mo Weiyi didnt speak, neither did Su Wanwan, and after being rebuffed by Xiao Yebai earlier, Ling Zhizhou didnt dare to speak up either. Compared to the bustling atmosphere in the rest of the breakfast restaurant, their corner was eerily silent. After finishing one fried dough fritter and a couple of xiaolongbao, Su Wanwan glanced at Xiao Yebai and offered him some food, Mr. Xiao, dont you want to eat? We ordered quite a lot. Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, I have already eaten. Su Wanwan: Damn it, if youve already eaten, then why did you come here? She glanced at Mo Weiyi and saw that she had paused for a moment. The truth was, Mo Weiyi had been distracted the entire meal. After all, Xiao Yebai was sitting right next to her. Even though he wasnt saying anything or making any moves, she could feel his familiar presence lingering around her. Realising that she was still easily affected by him, Mo Weiyi quickly grabbed a soaked fritter from her bowl and stuffed it into her mouth. But due to her hurried actions With a splat, the soy milk splashed out from the fritter. The white soy milk spurted everywhere, even splashing onto the table beside them. Oh crap! She cursed under her breath, her cheeks instantly flushed red. While she fumbled to grab a tissue, a familiar male hand reached out from in front of her and quickly took away the napkin box. She withdrew her hand and lowered her head. The next second. The same hand placed the napkin box beside her. Mo Weiyi caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, her fingers twitched. In that brief moment of hesitation, Xiao Yebai swiftly took a napkin, and with his other hand, he gently turned her chin to face him. Mo Weiyi, wide-eyed and half of the dough fritter still in her mouth, had a little bit of soy milk at the corner of her lips. She looked both surprised and dazed. Xiao Yebai gazed at her lips, and his eyes wavered slightly. Then, he took the napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth. Mo Weiyi: She remained in a daze until he tossed the napkin into a nearby trash can. She turned her head away and then lowered it once again. Ling Zhizhou on the opposite side quickly averted his gaze as well. The awkward breakfast eventually ended. Ling Zhizhou paid the bill and the four of them left the breakfast restaurant. As they were about to leave, Su Wanwan suddenly spoke up, Weiyi, well go back first. Mo Weiyi looked at her in surprise. Su Wanwan said, You should have a good talk with Mr. Xiao. Ling Zhizhou also quickly added, Senior, Ill start self-study early too. Bye. Mo Weiyi smiled at him. After the two left, she turned to look at Xiao Yebai, her face expressionless, her tone ice-cold, The breakfast is done. You can go now. Go back with me. Xiao Yebai responded out of context. I dont want to go back. Why not? Mo Weiyi looked at him, annoyed, You tell me why not? Xiao Yebais expression remained indifferent, I have already explained, why are you still making a fuss? Am I the one making a fuss? Mo Weiyis voice involuntarily raised, struggling to control her emotions. Then tell me, why did you come looking for me today to go home? Xiao Yebai fell silent. Seeing his reaction, Mo Weiyi became even more irritated. She quickly turned to leave, but Xiao Yebai grabbed her arm before she could get away. What on earth do you want? he asked, his brow furrowing in irritation. Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: 458, the couple is arguing Chapter 458: 458, the couple is arguing Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, I need some time to calm down. Xiao Yebai looked down at her with a calm gaze. After a few seconds, he sarcastically said, Taking it out on the boys on the sports field? Mo Weiyi frowned, What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Yebais eyes were dark, though his facial expressions remained unwavering. Ling Zhizhou is my junior. Hes a freshman, two years younger than me. Were just friends, and weve only just met. Unlike you. Mo Weiyi suddenly smiled cynically, I havent asked Ling Zhizhou to get my clothes for me. The mans figure suddenly tightened, his voice cold and low, Mo Weiyi, I have explained this matter. Since their marriage, he rarely called her by her full name. The last time seemed to be about Xiao Zhiwei. This time, it was about Tian Ye. Mo Weiyi suddenly felt suffocated, and words poured out from her lips. Yes, youve explained, but only after I forced you to. When I think about your attitude at that time, I feel uncomfortable, and I cant be happy. I think I need to calm down. For now, I will stay at school. Dont come looking for me again, because I wont come home even if you do. With that, she turned and left. This time, Xiao Yebai didnt stop her. Mo Weiyi kept walking forward, step by step. After what felt like countless steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around. The school gate was empty. The mans figure had already disappeared. Mo Weiyi smiled bitterly, then turned around and continued heading for the dormitory. ** Lishui Bay Villa. After receiving a call from Mo Weiyi, Aunt Zhou came to the second-floor dressing room to pack up clothes. Just after she had picked out a few items of clothing, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. Aunt Zhou quickly stood up and left the dressing room, Young master Xiao. Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes. Aunt Zhou quickly returned to pulling the suitcase out, unnecessarily explaining, Young master Xiao, these are preparations that the princess asked me to make. She said she would be jogging every morning, so I prepared some Theres no need to report these minor matters to me. Xiao Yebai interrupted coldly, and went toward his bedroom. Aunt Zhou couldnt help but speak again, Young master Xiao. Xiao Yebai stopped in his tracks, his black eyes looking at her sternly. Aunt Zhous heart was in a panic, but she still summoned the courage to ask, Is the princess coming home tonight? Xiao Yebai didnt say a word. Young master Xiao, didnt you say yesterday that the princess would be home tonight? Aunt Zhou looked innocent, If the princess is coming home tonight, Ill call Chef Chen, and let her No need. Xiao Yebai interrupted again, his handsome face cold as he said in a low voice, Let her stay as long as she wants. Huh? Before Aunt Zhou could react, Xiao Yebai entered the bedroom and shut the door behind him. Things have gotten really bad. Aunt Zhou was at a loss. Were the young couple really planning to separate? ** In the afternoon, Aunt Zhou, bringing the suitcase, drove to Nancheng University. While there, she helped clean up the dorm room. After finishing everything, Aunt Zhou stepped out of the bathroom, looking at the little princess lying on the bed reading a book, she cautiously asked, Princess, did you quarrel with young master Xiao? Mo Weiyi squinted her beautiful cat eyes, her tone languid, No. Because Xiao Yebai would never argue with her. Before or after their marriage, his attitude towards her remained indifferent and distant. Except for his enthusiasm and dedication in bed, he hardly ever spoke to her in other matters. So how could he quarrel with her? Mo Weiyi would actually like if he could argue with her, maybe then he could express his true feelings. Princess, should I tell the old master No. Mo Weiyi interrupted sharply. This was just between the two of them, but if her grandfather were to find out and get involved, it would end up like when they were young. She would be forced to give in under pressure. Mo Weiyi didnt want this. Aunt Zhou, I just want to focus on studying for my final exams, so I moved to the dormitory to live with Wanwan for a while. Dont overthink it, and dont tell my grandfather, understand? Okay. Aunt Zhou could only agree. Not long after Aunt Zhou left, Su Wanwan also returned. Mo Weiyi hurried to the neighboring dormitory, Baby Wanwan, accompany me out for dinner. I need to go back to the manor. Huh? Mo Weiyi wrinkled his little face, Wont you accompany me to dinner then? Grandmother asked me to come home for dinner. Today is the weekend, and Grandmother Huo had called specifically to say that she had caught several fresh carp from the Chu familys fish pond next door, and asked her to come and taste it. She had indeed not returned to the compound for a while, so Su Wenwen found it hard to refuse. Mo Weiyi pouted, When will you come back then? Ill be back after dinner. Alright then. Mo Weiyi finally felt relieved. After Su Wanwan changed her clothes and left, Mo Weiyi returned to his dormitory to continue reading. Not long after, his cellphone suddenly rang. It turned out to be from Rong An, whom he hadnt been in contact with for a while. As soon as the call connected, Rong An said, Princess, my injuries have healed, and the old master has ordered me to return. But I live on campus now. These days, Mo Weiyi had been living quite peacefully and didnt really need a bodyguard, besides, the last one had been sent back to the old house by him a long time ago. Rong An immediately said, Ill come to the campus and find you right now. Mo Weiyi: He originally wanted to refuse, but since Wanwan had gone back to the compound, there was no one to have dinner with him Then you come and have dinner with me. Alright, Ill be there soon. ** On the other hand, Su Wanwan took a taxi directly back to the compound. As soon as Grandmother Huo saw her return alone, she naturally complained about her grandson, Why did you let her come back alone? Whats wrong with Ashen? He doesnt know how to cherish his wife, I need to give him a piece of my mind! Su Wanwan explained cheerfully, Grandmother, its more convenient for me to come directly from school, so I didnt ask him to pick me up. In fact, she didnt inform Huo Jingshen at all. She hadnt forgotten about the incident a few days ago when he secretly let Xiao Yebai take Mo Weiyi away behind her back. Traitors must be punished! Grandmother Huo laughed, The meal will be ready in a moment, have some strawberries first. They were just delivered this morning by Wang Zhengwei from next door, theyre very sweet. Alright. Su Wanwan sat on the sofa. As she watched the entertainment news on TV, she picked up a large strawberry and took a bite. Um, it is indeed very sweet. Before she had finished eating one, a sound of footsteps rang out. Immediately after. Miss Su. Su Wanwans face sank. Chu Jingyi? Why does she encounter her every time she comes to the old house? Like a lingering ghost. Grandmother Huo also heard the voice and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Chu Jingyi, she hurriedly looked at her granddaughter-in-law on the sofa. She couldnt help muttering in her heart, ordinarily she doesnt make such frequent visits, why does Chu Jingyi show up every time her granddaughter-in-law comes back? Is there an inside informant? Grandmother Huo. Chu Jingyi was very enthusiastic, Oh, there are guests today. Thats great, my grandfather asked me to bring some crabs to supplement your meal. Shes your sister-in-law, not a guest. Grandmother Huo firmed her face and spoke sternly. Sister-in-law? The smile on Chu Jingyis lips froze. This yellow-haired girl was a full ten years younger than her and still a student. She hadnt even stepped into society yet and shes supposed to call her sister-in-law? Grandmother Huo said seriously, Of course, Ashen is the oldest among your generation, and all of you call him elder brother. So, naturally, Wenwen is your elder sister-in-law. Remember, dont address her as Miss Su anymore, remember to call her sister-in-law. Su Wenwen had already come over by this time. She smiled and locked arms with the old lady, Grandma, it turns out my status is so high? Of course, youre our Huo familys eldest daughter-in-law. In the future, when you have a child, youll be our Huo familys Is Jingshen here? Chu Jingyi abruptly interrupted. Grandmother Huo frowned, What do you need with Ashen? Chu Jingyis red lips curved into a smile, Nothing much, I just have something I want to give him. Since hes not here, Ill find another opportunity to give it to him. Goodbye, Grandmother Huo. Without waiting for Grandmother Huo to reply, she turned around and left. Grandmother Huo frowned deeply. This Chu Jingyi, shes becoming less cute than when she was a child. Seeing the slight discomfort on Su Wenwens face, she quickly explained, Wanwan, dont overthink it, she rarely comes over usually. In front of her elders, Su Wanwan, naturally wouldnt appear petty. She resumed her sweet smile, Grandmother, I really didnt overthink, dont worry. Grandmother Huo didnt want to dwell on this topic anymore. She glanced at the TV and remarked, Oh, this actress looks quite familiar. Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: 459, Wanwan is a huge vinegar jar Chapter 459: 459, Wanwan is a huge vinegar jar Su Wanwan was watching TV when she realized that Lu Zixi was being interviewed in the entertainment news. After experiencing the recent scandal, her image had risen significantly, and she now seemed to be more famous than before. Shes quite pretty. Mrs. Huo started to make conversation, But its unfortunate, she got a father addicted to gambling. She had to be a surrogate mother at 16 to pay off his debts, and even after giving birth, she got cheated Besides being an old lady, her hobbies were no different from those of young girls. She loved beauty, was a fan of celebrities, liked to binge-watch dramas, loved scrolling on Weibo, and even knew all the popular internet slangs. They suddenly heard the faint sound of a car engine. Mrs. Huo sighed with relief and quickly said, Ashen is here. Su Wanwan didnt respond. Mrs. Huo started to speculate wildly again. How could she have no reaction upon hearing her husbands arrival? Thinking back on how Su Wenwen had come back alone earlier Mrs. Huo quickly turned around and quietly left the room. ** As soon as Huo Jingshen emerged from the garage, Mrs. Huo walked over, held his arm, and said, Ziyang, you go inside first. Yes. Fu Ziyang obediently left with his backpack. Huo Jingshen was bewildered, Grandmother, whats the matter? Mrs. Huo looked around and then asked him in a low voice, Did you upset Wanwan again? No, Huo Jingshen answered confidently. Really? Mrs. Huo was skeptical. You havent had any issues with Jingyi recently, have you? Huo Jingshen frowned deeply, What could have possibly happened? Mrs. Huo stared at him, half-convinced, I hope not. Remember, youre a married man. You must keep a clear distance from other women, especially that Chu Jingyi! If you dare cause any trouble and make my granddaughter-in-law leave, you can pack up and go back to the United Kingdom! Huo Jingshen: Ever since he got married, his status in this family seemed to be getting worse and worse. ** Returning to the living room, Mrs. Huo immediately shouted, Wanwan, Ashen is back. Su Wanwan knew that Mrs. Huo meant well and that the elderly often worried about conflicts between the younger generation. She had no choice but to stand up, smile, and sweetly call out, Husband. Indeed, Mrs. Huos face immediately broke into a grin. However, when Su Wanwan saw the man who walked in, her face froze. Huo Jingshen hadnt realised it yet. He approached her, squeezed her smooth cheek affectionately, and asked naturally, Baby, why did you come back all alone? Su Wanwan, however, was staring fixedly at his neck, as if she hadnt heard him. Huo Jingshen lowered his head and asked in a deep voice, Whats wrong? Su Wanwan suddenly reached up and pulled down his dark blue scarf, checking the label inside. As expected. It was the scarf she had fancied when she went shopping with Mo Weiyi. She immediately asked, Who gave you this scarf? She had instantly thought that this color would suit Huo Jingshen, but because it was too expensive, it was eventually bought by Chu Jingyi. But she never expected that this scarf would end up around Huo Jingshens neck. Thinking back to Chu Jingyi saying she had something to give him when she left earlier Everything added up, making Su Wanwan suspect whether he had met Chu Jingyi just now and then hurriedly put on the gift he received. Immediately, her voice raised, Who gave it to you? Speak up! Seeing things were not looking good, Mrs. Huo rushed over and slapped Huo Jingshens arm, Tell us, did you do anything to betray Wanwan! Huo Jingshen frowned, No. Bullshit! Su Wanwan blurted out. Huo Jingshen: Mrs. Huo: Even Fu Ziyang looked over, tilting his little head. The door to the study was opened, and Mr. Huo came out with his cane, a frown on his face. Left with no choice, Su Wanwan pulled Huo Jingshens arm and whispered, You come upstairs with me! She didnt want to have a marital argument in front of the elders. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, ignoring Mrs. Huos meaningful glances, and allowed himself to be dragged upstairs. ** Upon reaching the upstairs, Su Wanwan dragged Huo Jingshen into the bedroom. Once the door was closed, she turned around to face him. Tell me, did Chu Jingyi give you this scarf? This damned man, how dare he accept a scarf from another woman? What could he not do? Was it because he hadnt been home much recently, that he couldnt resist the temptation to cheat so soon? The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the angrier she got, until her shoulders started to tremble slightly. She clenched her fists, ready to punch him as soon as he admitted it. Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, daring to retort, Is your husband so unworthy of your trust? But she came to our house just now, said she had something to give you when she left. I didnt see her just now. Then where did you get this scarf! Huo Jingshen looked at her, I went to the hospital to see Xiuhuang this afternoon. Xiuhuang gave it to you? Su Wanwans voice was full of suspicion, Why would a grown man give you a scarf out of nowhere? Its not even a holiday. Call Xiuhuang now, I want to confront him personally. Huo Jingshens brow twitched at her words. Confront? Why? Dont want to call? not calling means youre guilty! With Su Wanwans words, Huo Jingshen reluctantly pulled out his phone. Call, call, call. This is Marrying a huge jar of vinegar indeed! Put it on speaker. Su Wanwan made another demand. Huo Jingshen could only dial the number and put it on speaker. Soon a lazy voice came from the other end of the call, Yo, big brother, why are you calling me so late? Whose scarf is this? What scarf? You tell me. Oh, it was brought by my maid. Whats wrong? Your sister-in-law misunderstood. Can you explain it now? Huo Jingshen finished his words and handed the phone to Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan was just reaching out to take it What scarf? I didnt give you a scarf, please dont cause a dispute, brother. Although were good brothers, I dont like to share scarves. I cant do such deceptive things The call was then immediately cut off. Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened. This stinking brat. Looking at Su Wanwan, sure enough, she was getting furious, Bastard, Im going to castrate you! After saying that, she turned around to run. However, just as she grabbed the doorknob, Huo Jingshen tightly hugged her from behind, his deep voice asking, Baby, where are you going? Im going to get scissors! Im going to castrate you! Huo Jingshen: His beautiful hand directly locks the door, and he turns her around while holding her. Su Wanwan struggled desperately, Dont touch me! Youre so dirty! Huo Jingshen was helpless, I really picked it up in Xiuhuangs hospital room. My scarf was dirtied by him, and this one is brand new and unused. I should have avoided the misunderstanding by not using it. If you dont believe me, you can call Secretary Shi, she was there at the time. Seeing Su Wanwan still didnt believe him, Huo Jingshen once again picked up his phone and dialed the number. The call was quickly answered, and Shi Huans formal voice came through, Mr. Huo. Huo Jingshen immediately handed the phone to Su Wanwan. Mr. Huo? Su Wanwan remained silent. Mr. Huo, are you there? Su Wanwan still didnt say anything. Then in the distance, there was Xiuhuangs grand uncle-like voice, XiaoHuan, come serve me! Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen: Shi Huan is still asking, Mr. Huo? Did you call for something? Su Wanwan coughs awkwardly twice, finally speaking, Im sorry, Secretary Shi, its me. The fact that Huo Jingshen dared to call Shi Huan showed that everything he said was probably true, and Su Wanwan certainly didnt want people thinking she was a jealous wife. Mrs. Huo? What can I do for you? Su Wanwan quickly thought of an excuse, Nothing, just that tomorrows the weekend and I wanted to invite you to a meal. Huo Jingshen instantly raised an eyebrow. This girl As for Shi Huan, she hesitated for a moment, then said, Sure. Su Wanwan was incredibly surprised. She hadnt really meant it, but to her surprise, Shi Huan had agreed. All Su Wanwan could do was go along with it, Okay, well discuss it in the WeChat group. Okay. After hanging up, Su Wanwans hand was suddenly grabbed. Do you still want to castrate your husband? Su Wanwan, Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: 460, one hundred reasons Chapter 460: 460, one hundred reasons Huo Jingshen looked at the little girl blushing in shyness. None of her previous fierceness was there. Although Su Wanwan was tall compared to other girls, due to her small frame and delicate figure, her hands and feet were petite and soft. When he held them in his hands, they felt like soft buns. Huo Jingshen chuckled softly. His mature voice carried a hint of indulgence, Whats wrong, sweetheart? Su Wanwan kept silent. This docile and shy look was what men liked most. Huo Jingshen was no exception. Who would have thought that Su Wanwan suddenly pushed him away, reverting back to her fierce demeanor, Youre not allowed to wear that scarf again! Okay. Huo Jingshen agreed readily. Su Wanwan felt slightly more comfortable. Even though he didnt accept Chu Jingyis scarf directly, Chu Jingyi did buy it with her own hands, making her feel uncomfortable. Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen added, Should we burn it? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, Theres no need for that. She paused and added, Just give it back to Chu Xiuhuang. After all, its worth over nine thousand. So frugal? Huo Jingshen couldnt help but chuckle again. Su Wanwan pursed her lips and let out a sudden ah. Huo Jingshen: Whats wrong now? A young girl really is a young girl. So restless, always fretful. Su Wanwan tried to push him away, Grandma is waiting for us to eat, lets go downstairs. But he held her waist tightly, impossible for her to push away. Huo Jingshen even tightened his arms, his gaze was electric, his voice even deeper, I dont want to eat Su Wanwans face was scarlet, But Im hungry. Im hungry too, very hungry. Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, You misunderstood me just now. Dont you think you should apologize? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes again. This guy could always find a hundred reasons to take advantage of her. Simply impossible to guard against. Or, you want to wait until after dinner and go home with me Su Wanwan spoke weakly, But I have to go back to the dormitory to sleep with Weiyi. Shes afraid to sleep alone. I understand what you mean, sweetheart. Huo Jingshen smiled slyly. In order not to delay you from going back to the dormitory to sleep with her, keep me company now. Su Wanwan: Motherf. Mo Xiaose! Do you know this is already my second time for you! * * The dining room downstairs. All the dishes were ready, but Master Huo was not at all happy. This afternoon, he and Master Chu had a fishing contest and caught several fresh carp. But now, he could only watch and not eat. After a while, he checked the time and urged his wife, Go upstairs and see whats going on with them! They cant fight all the time! Its late, so many people are waiting for them. Is it reasonable? Madam Huo sighed, Why you are so hurried? The young couple should talk about their problems. Lets wait a little longer. Master Huo was so hungry he could hardly bear it. He had to use all his inner strength to suppress his stomach from growling. He looked displeased. Until. Gurgle Fu Ziyang: See, even the kid is hungry! Master Huo immediately said. Fu Ziyang again: Madam Huo helplessly said, Fine, you two start eating. Ill go upstairs and see whats wrong. No sooner had she spoken than the young and old one picked up their chopsticks and dug into the dishes in front of them. Madam Huo: Both of them looked as if they had been abused! However, Madam Huo came back downstairs in no time. Master Huo glanced behind her, his face unhappy, Where are they? But Madam Huos smile was almost too big to hold, Lets eat first, dont wait for them. Master Huo frowned. Was the quarrel so fierce? Even not eating dinner. Madam Huo sat down, picked a slice of meat with her chopsticks, and said thoughtfully, We should change Ashens bed. Why change bed? Madam Huo gave her slow-witted husband a glance, That old bed was bought when Ashen was in middle school. Its too small and not very sturdy. Now that hes married, and he and his wife come back to stay from time to time, how would they sleep on that bed? Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: 461, grandma likes eavesdropping Chapter 461: 461, grandma likes eavesdropping Grandpa Huo: He understood instantly. Oh my, we need to replace it with a larger, better quality, and stronger new bed. No choice, Im going to select one at the mall tomorrow in person! Granny Huo did exactly that, she didnt eat her meal, and immediately took out her phone to call her daughter-in-law, asking her to accompany her to the mall to choose a bed the next day. * * * When Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen came downstairs, the three had already finished their meal. Granny Huo said cheerfully, We saved some dishes for you. Su Wanwan blushed unbearably. She had already checked in the mirror to ensure there were no obvious traces. She did her best to keep a calm expression, pretending as if nothing had happened. But as soon as she looked at the Grannys conniving glance, her face turned red, revealing her embarrassment. As they walked into the dining room and Granny Huo was not around, Su Wanwan couldnt resist glaring at Huo Jingshen. The grandparents had their experience; they must have guessed what they were doing upstairs during this long time. Who would have guessed Why are you blushing? Huo Jingshen raised his brow, unperturbed, Grandma knows, theres no need to be shy. Su Wanwan: Huo Jingshen added, Maybe they were even crazier when they were young. Su Wanwan again: What do you mean, crazier? Granny Huo came into the dining room at that time, but only caught the last few words. Su Wanwan immediately started coughing. Granny Huo happily sat beside her, served her a bowl of carp soup, and while chattering, she said, Ashen, your grandfather and I have discussed, and we decided to get you a new bed tomorrow. Your old bed is a bit too small, and its made of wood, the noises you two made just now were a bit too big Pffft! Su Wanwan spewed out the soup she had just sipped. Oh my, Im dying of shame! She knew that the sound insulation in this old house was not good! She thought she had managed to fool them, but Granny Huo had heard everything Huo Jingshen picked up a napkin with his elegant fingers and wiped Su Wanwans mouth. His thin lips curved, Grandma is thoughtful. Since this is the case, might as well replace my wardrobe and bathtub with new ones. Granny Huos face darkened, You brat, do you want to have the entire place renovated? Sure. Huo Jingshen agreeable, Since the insulation is so bad, and grandma loves eavesdropping, its better to have some renovations. Su Wanwans head was almost diving into her bowl. My gosh, how could there be a man so shameless? Granny Huos old face was turning red with embarrassment, she blurted out, I eavesdrop? Youre making such a ruckus and then blaming it on me? I just went upstairs and I could hear everything from the top of the stairs! And here I thought my hearing was going bad with age, the doctor even said I was a little hearing-impaired. You actually dared to say that! How could she have a grandson this shameless? Why didnt she see this before? After the wedding Hes expressing himself more and more freely! Just as shameless as his grandfather, both utterly shameless! * * Su Wanwan didnt know how she got out of the mansion. It was too embarrassing. If she had known this before, she would have fought back on the second floor. She decided that she wouldnt return to the mansion for a month. When the car arrived at Nancheng University, a blushing Su Wanwan hurriedly got off. Huo Jingshen, contented after the meal, did not retain her. Watching the young maiden walk through the school gate, he gently drove away, following the road and turning a corner. Twenty minutes later, Mu Shang arrived at Nangong Hospital. * * At that time in the hospital ward, Chu Xiuhuang had just come out after showering. Mr. Chu, I should get back. Whats the rush? Chu Xiuhuang tutted impatiently, Its not even that late. Shi Huan said, My sister goes to bed at nine, I need to go home to give her a bath At five years old, she cant even take a bath by herself yet? Mentioning his sister, Chu Xiuhuang felt a profound aversion. Fat, eats a lot, timid. Even lacks basic self-care skills. Always occupying Shi Huans time Shi Huan continued, Also, my sister has writing classes tomorrow morning, which is quite far from our house, I may be late to the hospital. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but sneer again, What sort of writing class for a five-year-old kid? Shi Huan didnt say anything: I didnt attend any training classes when I was a kid, now am I not still this outstanding and perfect? Looking at the self-impressed Master Chu, Shi Huan remained stoic, Mr. Chu, you are already thirty. Which means, can a thirty-year-old adult stop comparing whos more talented with a five-year-old child? So what if Im thirty? Chu Xiuhuang retorted righteously, Im a patient now, I need your care and companionship more than she does. Shi Huans eyelid twitched, simply starting to tidy up the room. Lately, she really felt like shes become a nanny. Shes clearly a top-notch secretary, so why should she stay in the hospital all day taking care of this young masters daily routine? Instead of doing such trivial tasks, she prefers to be busy at work where she can prove her abilities and values. She sighed silently in her heart. Just as she finished cleaning up the takeout boxes, Master Chu had another issue. All three meals today were from the same place, Im not satisfied. Xiaohuan, you didnt take a stake in their business, did you? Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: 462, Crusade for Justice Chapter 462: 462, Crusade for Justice Shi Huan paused for a moment, Mr. Chu, if you want to eat something, you could tell me in advance. Translation of her words: How am I supposed to know if you dont tell me? The reason why she often went to this particular restaurant recently was that it was conveniently located between the hospital and her home. It was near and saves time and energy. She admitted, if she could be lazy, she would be lazy. Chu Xiuhuang gave her a disgusted look, Dont you know what I want to eat? What? Chu Xiuhuang leaned his tongue against his cheek, his phoenix eyes slightly squinted, a sly smile crossed his face, the expression on his face suddenly became somewhat mischievous, I want to eat home-cooked meals. Home-cooked meals? Shi Huan immediately said, Then Ill ask Aunt Wu to No. Then Ill mention it to the old man and let Chu Familys servants Also no. Shi Huan frowned, Next second. Master Chu commanded, You cook for me. Upon hearing these words, Shi Huan immediately refused, I dont have time. Now that you dont have to manage the companys business, your full-time job is to take care of me in the hospital, so how come you dont have time? After speaking, Chu Xiuhuang walked to the sofa and sat down with his legs crossed, From tomorrow on, make the meals at home and bring them to the hospital. Listening to this made Shi Huan feel tired. Now she has to pick up little Luoluo from school every morning and evening. If she has to cook the meals herself, do grocery shopping, wash vegetables, chop vegetables, cook vegetables it would be exhausting! Mr. Chu, my cooking skills are just so-so. I dont mind. My home is too far from the hospital. Ill give you time. I still have to take care of my sister. As soon as Chu Xiuhuang heard the two words sister, his handsome face darkened, Send your sister back home to her parents. My younger brother is currently abroad. When will he return home? It will be a while. Then send her to other relatives. But she likes to stay with me. After going back and forth, Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened. How could he be so confrontational? Grinding his back teeth, he said, I will give you a fivefold pay raise. Shi Huan immediately agreed, Okay. Chu Xiuhuang: Damn! Can this be more real? Did you agree immediately after hearing about a fivefold pay raise? All the reasons she said before were all lies, right? Shi Huan picked up her bag, Mr. Chu, starting from tomorrow, I will bring you food that Ive cooked, just tell me if you need anything. Looking at her behaving like a miser, Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, snorted haughtily, Hmm. Then Im leaving first. As Shi Huan turned to leave, there were knocks on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Jingshen standing outside, even holding a dark blue scarf Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched. Damn it, brother are you here to interrogate me? Huo Jingshen took long strides to the sofa, squinted his eyes, and asked directly, Where did this scarf come from? Chu Xiuhuang sat with his legs crossed and replied nonchalantly, A servant in my house brought it. Heh heh. Huo Jingshen sneered. Shi Huan couldnt help but stop in her tracks. She was a little worried that these two would start fighting Which servant? Huo Jingshen asked again. Aunt Li. Call her. Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, Why should I call? What do you think? With narrowed black eyes, Huo Jingshen was very mocking. Chu Xiuhuang: Under someones oppressive gaze, he had no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and dial the home phone number. It was answered quickly. Chu Xiuhuang asked her, Aunt Li, who prepared the clothes you sent today? Aunt Li said, The old master instructed me to prepare everything. What about that scarf? The young lady gave it to me. She said it was bought for the young master, and she brought it to the hospital with me. After speaking, she cautiously asked, Young Master, is there any problem? Chu Xiuhuang hung up the phone immediately and then quickly cleared himself, Brother, I really didnt know. How unjust. Today is the weekend. In the afternoon, a few of his brothers came to the ward. Chu Jingyi and the servants happened to bring him some things. Chu Jingyi only stayed for a few minutes before leaving. But later when Huo Jingshen was going to leave, he found that his clothes and scarf had been stained by something. His clothes were all on the sofa. Chu Xiuhuang didnt pay much attention as there were many people there. He kindly found a set of new clothes for him, including that unopened scarf. Thinking about it now I see. Huo Jingshen threw down the scarf, You can slowly wear this yourself. Did your little girl misunderstand? Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, finding this completely inconceivable, She even remembers clearly what scarf you wear? Is she pickled in vinegar? Did she install a radar on you? Or is there a ghost in you? It goes without saying that Chu Xiuhuangs mouth really asks for a beating. Shi Huan, standing by the side, could not help but smile, his lips curling up. Huo Jingshen chuckled, She has me in her heart, thats why she notices every detail. What would a single dog like you understand? Single dog Chu Xiuhuang: Critical hit! He wanted to hit someone! Shi Huan too: This serving of dog food, accepted! ** Nancheng University. Su Wanwan returned to the dormitory and went directly into Mo Weiyis room. Chen Jin had just finished makeup classes, and seeing her, he smiled faintly, Miss Su. Mo Weiyi quickly said, Wanwan, I brought you a box of strawberries. Strawberries again? Su Wanwan walked over, So many? Rong An brought them. Mo Weiyi handed a box to Chen Jin, Teacher Chen, you bring this home to eat. Chen Jin was flattered, Thank you, Miss Mo. Is Rong Ans injury all healed? Su Wanwan had heard from Mo Weiyi before that Rong An had been severely injured by Mo Familys house rules and had been healing for nearly two months. Hes all healed now, just left after having dinner with me. Mo Weiyi put on her coat, Ill see Teacher Chen out. Okay, Su Wanwan nodded, sitting there, she took a bite of a strawberry. The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and before long, she felt hot and simply took off her coat and scarf. But when Mo Weiyi came back, she immediately pointed to her neck, Good job, good job, you lied to me! What? Su Wanwan looked confused. You lied to me about going back for dinner, you clearly went back to be sweet with your Huo CEO! Su Wanwan quickly covered her neck. Damn! She forgot about all the red marks Huo Jingshen had left on her neck. Mo Weiyi looked at her with a face full of resentment, Im having a cold war with my husband right now, are you deliberately trying to provoke me? Su Wanwan was speechless, and also felt a bit guilty, Not at all. You cant even hide it with strawberries! Su Wanwan was startled, quickly changed the subject, By the way, how did your talk with President Xiao go today? Mo Weiyis face became even more resentful, Not great. Su Wanwan blinked, Wasnt he supposed to pick you up to go home today? Im not going back. Having said that, Mo Weiyi turned around abruptly, Im going to take a shower. Oh. It seemed like their talk didnt go well, could these two really keep this cold war going until the end? Su Wanwan didnt believe it. But over the next several days, Mo Weiyis behavior hit her hard. Mo Weiyi got up early with her every day, ran, ate breakfast, went to class, stayed in the reading room Unless Su Wanwan mentioned it, Mo Weiyi would never bring up the name Xiao Yebai. And Xiao Yebai never came to the school again. Su Wanwan felt relieved and somewhat worried. Because Mo Weiyi was studying very well, but obviously, compared to before, she had become a lot quieter. A week passed quickly. Today, on Friday afternoon, just as Mo Weiyi was about to go to the dining hall with Su Wanwan, she received a call from Xiao Yebai. Looking at the four words on the phone Dear Xiaobai, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt as if she were dreaming. Why arent you answering the call? Su Wanwan asked. Mo Weiyi gave her a look, then took the phone to the balcony outside. Hello. Grandpa asked us to come home for dinner tonight. The mans voice was as deep and calm as ever, devoid of any emotional fluctuations. Okay. Mo Weiyis voice was equally flat, she even admired herself. Indeed, the phone was silent. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, and asked, Anything else? What time should I pick you up? No need. Mo Weiyi continued to respond coldly, Rong An will take me home. So the phone was once again silent. Mo Weiyi couldnt stand this silence, she said directly, If theres nothing else, Im hanging up. She frowned, just about to say something, Beep and the call was already ended. ** 7 p.m., Mo Family mansion. Xiao Yebai came back alone, which didnt surprise the Mo Family, only Surprisingly, Xiao Yebai returned earlier than Mo Weiyi, which was rarely the case before. In the living room, Mo Yaoxiong looked at his son-in-law, Yebai, why didnt Weiyi come with you? Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: 463, Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you Chapter 463: 463, Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you Old Master Mo also looked at him solemnly, Whats going on? Whats Yiyi up to? Xiao Yebai picked up his tea cup and spoke calmly, Shes been boarding at school lately. As the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the living room. Since Xu Jing and Qu Yunyao no longer lived here, the old house had become much quieter. Now, it felt unusually quiet. After a brief silence, Old Master Mo asked with a stern face, Why did she decide to board at school? Exactly, why would she suddenly go to stay at school when everything was fine? Mo Yaoxiong also asked. Mo Weiyi has been a pampered personality since she was little. Moreover, from the age of 10, when Xiao Yebai came to the Mo family, she was always by Xiao Yebais side. Due to this, after starting high school, with Old Master Mos consent, Mo Yaoxiong sent his daughter to a boarding school. As a result, out of the five school days a week, she would come home to find Xiao Yebai nearly four days a week Now that shes in college, she doesnt need to board at school. Besides, shes been married to Xiao Yebai for two years, and during these two years, shes never mentioned anything about boarding. Why did she suddenly decide to board at school? Xiao Yebai continued to explain calmly, She said she needs to prepare for the final exams. Old Master Mo: Mo Yaoxiong: * * The black Audi sped smoothly through the vast night. Rong An was holding the steering wheel, occasionally glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror. Mo Weiyi, ever since she got into the car, remained quietly seated, looking out the window. So quiet that it was eerie. In fact, Mo Weiyis behaviour over the past few days was as if she had turned into someone else, silent and gloomy. The once vibrant and sunny little princess now seemed a bit like Xiao Yebai. However, no matter how puzzled he was, as a subordinate, Rong An would not ask anything. Arriving at the old house, Rong An drove the car directly into Old Master Mos courtyard. Seeing the familiar black Bentley parked in front, Rong An spoke, Princess, Young Master Xiao has already arrived. Having said that, he looked into the rearview mirror. Mo Weiyi still didnt react. She just took her coat, put it on, and then quietly got out of the car carrying her school bag. * * As soon as she entered the living room, the maid, Aunt Yang, announced, The princess is back. Mo Weiyi looked up and met a pair of black and cold eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, her pupils slightly constricted. She quickly averted her gaze, lowered her head, and began to change her shoes. It had been exactly five days since their last encounter. Mo Weiyi would never have believed that she would do such a thing in the past, but now, she had actually done it. Even though seeing him just now did affect her emotions a bit. No! She had to hold up! Mo Weiyi kept telling herself this. After changing into her slippers, her face regained its usual indifference. Sitting down on the couch, Old Master Mo asked, Yiyi, Yebai said youre boarding at school? Mo Weiyi nodded her head, deliberately adopting a casual attitude as she said, I have exams coming, and my courses are quite hectic these days. Coming back and forth every day is too troublesome, so I decided to board at school with Wanwan. Su Wanwan, Old Master Mo naturally knew her, she has been Yiyis good friend since kindergarten. But He looked at Mo Weiyi, his tone skeptical, Is it really just that? What else could it be? Mo Weiyi curved her lips. Grandpa, your granddaughter has been studying hard all this time. You should encourage me! Old Master Mo let out a cold snort. He clearly didnt believe her. He turned to Xiao Yebai, If this brat is the one that bullied you, you tell me, and Ill teach him a lesson. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. Mo Weiyi quickly said, No, its nothing to do with Xia The word Yebai almost slipped out. She paused, then continued, It has nothing to do with him. Old Master Mo squinted his eyes. Although he was already in his eighties, those eyes were still sharp and intense, revealing a glimpse of the hegemonic spirit he had in his youth. His gaze moved back and forth between the two youngsters, and he let out a gruff huff. It had better be. Old Master, dinner is ready. Shi Bo timely reminded. Mo Weiyi set down her school bag, quickly moved to the wheelchair, Grandpa, have your legs been hurting lately? Old Master Mo averted his gaze, Much better. Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, stood up, and followed. The dining table was already filled with a variety of sumptuous dishes. Mo Weiyi rolled the elders wheelchair to the head of the table and sat down beside Xiao Yebai. However The entire dinner was very quiet. Especially as Xiao Yebai kept drinking, one after the other Even someone as dull as Mo Yaoxiong could finally detect that something was wrong between the young couple. With a clack, the old man put down his chopsticks, Yebai, come with me to the study. Xiao Yebai raised his eyes, yet before he could say a word Grandpa. Mo Weiyis voice suddenly rang out. The old man looked at his granddaughter, What do you want to say? Mo Weiyi bit her lip, Im a little tired, can you not call him to discuss things right now? I want to go rest. The old mans eyebrows furrowed in an instant. Simply getting up, Mo Weiyi then pulled at Xiao Yebais arm,Lets go. His thin lips hooked up into a slight smirk. Xiao Yebai stood up and slightly nodded at the two older people, We will retire first. The performance of the wife taking the lead finally made the old man suppress his suspicion. ** Mo Weiyi led Xiao Yebai out of the dining room. Once they got outside, she still seemed to be a little worried and continued to drag him away. Not until they had left the main room did she finally let go of his hand. However, quite soon, it was the mans large hand that held hers. What are you doing? Before Mo Weiyi could react, Xiao Yebai kept pulling her forward. The cold wind was whistling. Both of them werent wearing their coats, but Mo Weiyi felt as though her hand was burning. She tried to withdraw her hand the entire way, but it turned out to be unsuccessful until they entered the north villa. With a bang sound, the big hand closed the door, and Mo Weiyi only felt a blur in front of her eyes, a pain on her back, and was suddenly pressed against the door panel by him. Xiao Yebai lowered his head, and the familiar male scent immediately filled her nostrils. He had just drunk quite a lot of alcohol, which made Mo Weiyis heart flutter. She began to struggle desperately, What are you doing? Let me go. No. Xiao Yebai lowered his head and looked into her clear and beautiful cat-like eyes, his voice low and bewildered, Why didnt you tell grandpa the truth just now? Mo Weiyi bit her lip and turned her face away, refusing to look at him. Speak. Her chin was grasped and turned back towards him. The two were very close. Mo Weiyi was forced to look at his handsome yet cold face. She finally said, Because this is a matter between us, I dont want to involve grandpa. Xiao Yebais thin lips opened and he sneered, Liar. Mo Weiyi didnt explain further. She just started pushing him again, Think whatever you want! Let go of me. No. Mo Weiyi got angry, and her force began to increase, but Xiao Yebai seemed determined not to let her go. Unable to match his strength, she ended up exhausting herself. Just then, her cellphone suddenly rang. Mo Weiyi hurriedly said, I need to answer the call. Xiao Yebai still didnt move, go ahead. Mo Weiyi bit her lip. The phone kept ringing non-stop. Oh, never mind. She lowered her head, and with difficulty pulled out her phone from her pocket. When she saw the name displayed on the screen, she paused for a second. The call was from Ling Zhizhou. Because she was looking down, she didnt see the brief coldness that flitted across the mans expression. Then. Why arent you picking up? Xiao Yebai asked with an icy voice. She didnt say anything but the moment he spoke, Mo Weiyi seemed to have been provoked and immediately answered the call, Hello. Senior sister, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Ling Zhizhous sunny and tender voice and Xiao Yebais formed two extremes. When this voice rang in her ears, Mo Weiyi felt slightly relieved. Whats up? The club has organized a drama viewing session and I accidentally booked two extra tickets. Do you want to join? You can also bring Su Wanwan with you. A drama? Mo Weiyis wide, clear eyes turned slightly, What kind of drama? Secret Love Peach Blossom Source, it has fantastic ratings online. Xiao Yebai was holding her. They were very close, so he heard everything very clearly. Mo Weiyi wasnt sure whether it was her imagination, but she suddenly felt his hand tighten, hurting her a little. Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and tried to push him away, but failed. For whatever reason, she said to the person on the other end of the line, Okay, what time? Three in the afternoon. Alright Before she could finish, the cell phone in her hand was suddenly snatched away. With a flick of Xiao Yebais hand, the mobile phone was slammed against the wall and then bounced back onto the floor. Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: 464, don’t you miss me? Chapter 464: 464, dont you miss me? Boom rang out two loud noises, and without guessing, it was clear that the phone was a goner. Mo Weiyi was deeply frightened, Are you crazy? Why did you smash my phone? Xiao Yebai was at ease and indifferent, as if the barbaric act of smashing the phone a second ago was not his doing. Ill buy you a new one tomorrow. Hearing this, Mo Weiyi was angered, What Im asking is, why did you smash my phone! Because I felt like smashing it. Xiao Yebais response was calm, his expression didnt change at all. Mo Weiyi was speechless. Heh. Because he felt like smashing it? Had she never noticed before that he had such a capricious and violent hobby? Since the first day she met Xiao Yebai, her impression of him had always been cultured, indifferent, and rational. Except for the time when they were children and he mistakenly pushed her once. But at that time they were really young, she was 10 and he was 15, both of them were immature. She remembered crying quite badly, not because it hurt, but because she realized that this handsome brother didnt like her and that made her very sad. However, as a result, the old Mr. Mo had severely punished him. From that moment on, no matter how impatient or angry Xiao Yebai was with her, he never raised his hand to her again, let alone throw her things around. But just a moment ago, he smashed her phone to pieces! And his reason was so capricious. This kind of behavior, it looked exactly like he was jealous. But Jealous of Ling Zhizhou? Mo Weiyi bit her lip, finding it utterly absurd. Are you jealous of Ling Zhizhou? As expected, hearing this, his dark eyes moved, followed by a cold snort, Stay away from him. Not getting the answer she wanted, Mo Weiyi bit her lip even harder, Hes my friend. What gives you the right to tell me to stay away from him? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, providing a reason, He has improper thoughts about you. Mo Weiyi laughed at him, What nonsense are you talking about? Improper thoughts? Not to mention that Ling Zhizhou is two years younger than her, he also knew about her marriage. Moreover, Ling Zhizhou once claimed that it was because she looked a little like his sister and felt familiar to him, that he wanted to be her friend. Even if he didnt know who she was before, now that he knew, his behavior hadnt changed at all. He was really just an innocent, sunny, and caring junior. Of course, Mo Weiyi didnt deny that after learning about his tragic past, she felt a bit of sympathy for him. But their relationship was really just as simple as being friends. Stay away from him. Xiao Yebai said again. His assertive and commanding tone immediately sparked a sense of rebellion in Mo Weiyi. She defiantly raised her chin and fired back, I wont! Why is it that Tian Ye can take your coat, but I cant go to watch a play with my junior? Xiao Yebais tone was cold, Ive thrown that coat away. Mo Weiyi was momentarily speechless. Thrown away? Xiao Yebai looked at her, You said you needed to calm down, and now youve been living on campus for a week, have you cooled off yet? Mo Weiyi: Why arent you speaking? Mo Weiyi once again: It suddenly felt as if he was the one questioning, but it seemed like she was the one being unreasonable. This realization made Mo Weiyi very unhappy, and she made a move to push him, You get away first. Weiyi. Suddenly, Xiao Yebai called her name. Mo Weiyi didnt speak, struggling to resist the mans strength. Both her wrists were quickly grabbed. Xiao Yebai pressed her wrists against the door, leaning down to look at her. The man had deep, dark eyes that, through the thin layer of his glasses, seemed incredibly focused and captivating, as if they could suck out the soul. He was already good-looking, and his peach blossom eyes were particularly captivating. His body was surrounded by the strong smell of alcohol, mixed with a too familiar smell, as if it had permeated her. The once-prided and brightly beautiful face of Mo Weiyi turned slightly bewildered under his gaze. Did she get drunk from the smell of his breath? Her mind felt a bit dizzy Finally, Mo Weiyi suddenly blurted out, Let me go! * * * Nancheng University. Su Wanwan looked at the time and picked up her phone to call Mo Weiyi. Result. Im sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. Su Wanwan frowned. This girl said she would come back after dinner and now that shes in a cold war with Xiao Yebai, how come her phone is even out of reach? Looking at the time, it was almost 10 PM. Su Wanwan first sent a message to the WeChat group. Originally, they had planned this weekend to have a meal out with Secretary Shi, but now only she and Shi Huan were chatting in the group. There shouldnt be any problems, right? Mo Weiyi was taken away by Rong An, that bodyguard, who was quite formidable. Sure enough, when she received the reply to the message, it was already the next days morning. Recently they had been busy studying and the opportunities to go out to relax were rare, Su Wanwan asked Shi Huan for his opinion, and finally decided to visit a health club for a spa. Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: 465, only her Mo Weiyi【Benefits】 Chapter 465: 465, only her Mo WeiyiBenefits You could get a massage, skin care, and a beauty treatment all in one place. 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 place? Why change locations? Su Wanwan asked in the group chat. Mo Weiyi sent a blushing face, one of the standard emojis available 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, Ill come see you guys in the afternoon. Alright. * * Back at the old Mos house. After sending the WeChat message, Mo Weiyi logged out of her account. The moment she put the black business phone away, a mans large hand grabbed her small one. Mo Weiyis heart skipped a beat. The man had fair skin, distinct knuckles, slender and elegant handsChis large hand could almost completely 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 escalate 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 like complying. 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 his composure. 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 black 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 466 - Chapter 466: 466, there’s a conflict Chapter 466: 466, theres a conflict No reason, I just dont want to call. Mo Weiyi turned his face aside, his eyes half-closed, Ive been calling for ten years, Im tired. The man froze completely. Mo Weiyi waited for a while, then slowly turned his face to look at him. He was as motionless as if he had been acupunctured. His eyes were as dark as ink, without the cover of his glasses, looking straight into her eyes. Tired? He repeated the word, his voice cold and devoid of warmth, Why are you tired, Weiyi, did you stop loving me? Mo Weiyi bit his lip. He felt like laughing. Is he really asking her this question? She didnt love him? How could she not love him? She had loved him for ten whole years. From the first moment she saw him, she fell in love at first sight, and this love stayed the same for ten years. How could she just simply stop loving him? But no matter how much she loved him, she now felt really tired. She was so tired she didnt want to say another word. The womans silence caused the mans deep black eyes to narrow, fused together. Looking at her charming and blushing face, there was a layer of indifference in her eyes and half-closed eyes, cold and clear, devoid of any warmth and initiative to hint at their past relationship. The handsome contour of his face gradually tensed up, his heart was as if it had been grasped by something. Not long after, his face returned to its usual icy indifference. He left slowly. Then he turned around without saying a word and walked into the bathroom with his long legs. After a while, a rushing sound of water flow was heard from the bathroom. Mo Weiyi pulled the quilt over himself and felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue from his body to his heart. She closed her eyes and almost immediately fell into a deep sleep. She didnt even realize when the man left. When she woke up again, the bedroom was quiet. She turned her body in the quilt and looked towards the French window. The heavy curtains had been drawn together, but the morning sunlight was too bright, penetrating through the crack, projecting on the carpet, leaving spots of white light. Mo Weiyi was so stunned watching that for quite some time until the vaguely heard sound of an antique clock ringing. She turned her face and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven in the morning. Dragging her sore body, Mo Weiyi walked into the bathroom. After cleaning up, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks flushed hot again. Simply a barbarian. Anyone who didnt know would think she had been abused. Wasnt it abuse? Thinking of Xiao Yebais ferocious momentum yesterday, Mo Weiyi pursed her small mouth, feeling both angry and annoyed. What angered her was that she couldnt defend herself What annoyed her was that despite this, their relationship showed no progress. Sit back and relax. Thinking about the gathering in the afternoon, she went outside, opened her wardrobe, picked a light high-necked dress, and matched it with a long oversized coat. After applying a subtle makeup to herself, at last, she applied a very prominent strawberry red lipstick. Mo Weiyi got up and left. When she reached the living room, Grandpa Mo smiled at her, Weiyi, finally willing to get up? Mo Weiyis face inevitably blushed again. Grandpa Mo was extremely worried about his granddaughter as Mo Weiyi is rather innocent by nature. Whatever is on her mind, invariably appears on her face. If she liked someone, she would treat that person with utmost sincerity, fully dedicated. Just like the brat Xiao Yebai. But last night, he clearly noticed that Mo Weiyi no longer showered Xiao Yebai with her usual dose of affection. Because of this, Grandpa Mo worried the whole night, couldnt sleep properly, until this morning, found out that the young couple hadnt got up for breakfast. Not long before, when Xiao Yebai came over, he asked, Xiao Yebai said Mo Weiyi was still sleeping.. So it seemed like the couple had a minor dispute. A couple fight at the head of the bed, and then make amends at the foot of the bed. Especially now, seeing Mo Weiyis blushing and shy appearance, Grandpa Mo was relieved and very satisfied with his laughter, Yebai has gone out on an errand, Weiyi, what would you like to eat? Let Butler Shi prepare it for you. Even though Butler Shi was indeed the old butler of the Mo family, he possessed excellent cooking skills. And he was particularly good at making light and delicious Jiangzhe cuisine. No man in the Mo family knew how to cook, and Xu Xians cooking skills werent great either. So, Mo Weiyi had grown up used to the culinary art of the butler. Since getting married, every time he returned to the old house, it was the butler who personally cooked. Glancing at the antique wall clock, Mo Weiyi said, Just make something simple. Im going out with friends this afternoon. Alright. The old man Mo agreed immediately. * * After lunch, Mo Weiyi called Rong An to drive him to school. Halfway there, he noticed a mobile store and asked, Rong An, could you get me a new phone? The black Audi quickly came to a stop by the roadside. About ten minutes later, Rong An got back into the car and handed him a red, latest-model smartphone. Mo Weiyi inserted the sim card, and as soon as he turned on the phone, several messages popped up on WeChat. All the messages, aside from those in the Little Fairy WeChat group, were from Ling Zhizhou. [Senior sister? Why did your phone hang up just now?] [Senior sister, are you alright? I cant get through to your phone.] [Senior sister, reply to my message when you see it, Im really worried about you.] [Senior sister, are you coming to the theatre this afternoon?] [Senior sister] A series of messages, which indeed seemed a bit overly enthusiastic. Much like how she used to message Xiao Yebai, always sending multiple messages without a response. He has evil intentions towards you. Mo Weiyi suddenly remembered the words Xiao Yebai had said last night. Did Ling Zhizhou truly have feelings for him..? Rong Ans voice suddenly interrupted, Princess, are you and Mr. Xiao having disputes? Mo Weiyi paused, You could tell? Rong An: Even a fool could tell, okay. He had held back from asking until just now when Mo Weiyi asked him to buy a new phone. In the morning, he had seen the smashed phone Aunt Yang had thrown away. Mo Weiyi had only used the previous phone for a few months. The fact that it was smashed so severely showed it wasnt accidentally dropped, but likely smashed intentionally in anger. Its hard to imagine the always composed and refined Mr. Xiao doing something as childish as smashing a phone. Feigning indifference, Weiyi said, Its nothing. Just a small disagreementDont tell my grandfather, I dont want him to worry. Alright. Rong An agreed stiffly. The Audi gently started off again, Along the way, Mo Weiyi didnt say anything more. By the time they arrived at the school gate, Su Wanwan was already waiting. After getting into the car and noticing Mo Weiyis careful makeup, Su Wanwan felt a bit relieved, but. You got a new phone? Yeah. Mo Weiyi stirred the new phone in her hand, The latest model. I just bought it. Do you like it? Rich. Su Wanwan remembered that Weiyi had just recently bought a new phone and changed her number. Now she had bought another one. This truly was the behavior of the fabulously wealthy. Princess, where are we going? Su Wenwen immediately said, To the Beauty Wellness Club on Sun Road. Weiyi frowned, Didnt we agree to change the place? Well go have a treatment first, then well go to the place you mentioned. Ive already discussed it with Secretary Shi, and since you didnt reply, she has already driven over there. Its bad to change the location now, right? Su Wanwan was decisive in her response, In addition, Secretary Shi is a power woman. Her time is precious. Do you think she is like us? Mo Weiyi rolled his eye, Okay then. Only she was covered in bruises left by someone else, which was rather embarrassing. * * Today is the weekend, and the road is a bit congested. Fortunately, when they arrived at the club, they were only ten minutes late. As soon as they entered, Su Wanwan immediately apologized, Sorry, Secretary Shi, Weiyi dawdled, and you havent been waiting long, have you? Its fine, I just arrived. Shi Huan nodded at Mo Weiyi, Miss Mo. What Miss Mo, youre too formal. Just call me Weiyi. Mo Weiyi walked over with a smile, I will call you Little Huanhuan. Shi Huan pushed up her glasses, seemingly taken aback, Lets go in. Lets go, lets go. Su Wanwan was the first to walk in. Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: 467, Married Tribe Chapter 467: 467, Married Tribe This club is high-end, one of the top-notch brand chain stores in Nancheng. The interior is designed in pink, warm and romantic with a faint fragrance of rose essential oil in the air, to the soft music playing in the background and the staff bustling around. Its indeed a great place to relax. Su Wanwan rarely comes to such places. She chose this place thinking the other two women would like it. Unexpectedly, when she changed her clothes and came out, she found Mo Weiyi sitting there completely dressed. Why didnt you change your clothes? The clothes provided by the club are pretty conservative, like a robe, exposing only the neckline and collarbone. And all those milling around inside the club were women. Mo Weiyi, being such a flirt, surely wouldnt be this shy. After coughing twice, Mo Weiyi said, I wont do it, Ill just accompany you guys. Su Wanwan: Her beautiful phoenix-like eyes stared straight at Mo Weiyi, making her feel guilty. What are you looking at? Su Wanwan walked over then suddenly reached out her hand. Mo Weiyi didnt see it coming, her dress top was pulled open right away. There was a bruising mark on her slender, fair neck. Being a married woman, Su Wanwan knew at a glance what had happened. She let go, narrowed her eyes, and asked, I thought you were giving him the cold shoulder? Mo Weiyi did not answer: Annoyed, Su Wanwan poked Mo Weiyis forehead, So youve been giving him the cold shoulder by doing that sort of thing and staying out all night? Well done, Mo Xiaose! Mo Weiyi continued to keep silent. She was definitely feeling guilty. Because not only did nothing happen last night, she was bullied quite badly No dignity! Su Wanwan spat out, didnt want to have anything to do with her, turned around and walked into the private room. ** In the private room, Su Wanwan and Shi Huan were each lying on soft beds. Having been desk-bound recently, her shoulder was a bit stiff. It was rare to relax, so after a while, Su Wanwan half-closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep comfortably. Mo Weiyi came in soon after, but just sat on the sofa in the corner, reading a magazine. After the massage, they started putting on facial masks. The room was very quiet, and was almost about to drift off to sleep, until a ringtone suddenly interrupted the tranquility. Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi responded at the same time, scrambling to find their phones and realized It was Shi Huans phone ringing. Chu Xiuhuang? Xiuhuang hurried over the phone, When will you come back to take care of me? Shi Huan frowned, Chu Xiuhuang, its the weekend. I already told you, Ill prepare dinner and bring it to the hospital in the evening. I regret it. Shi Huan was taken aback. The hospital is too boring, little Huanhuan, come back and keep me company. Chu Xiuhuang played the child. Shi Huan was helpless, Chu Xiuhuang, I told you, I can only go there in the evening, I am outside now. Outside? With whom? Doing what? After a thought, Shi Huan decided to tell the truth, With Miss Mo and Mrs. Huo. Damn, when did you get so close to them? At this moment, the masseuse came over and squeezed her calf. The grip was quite strong, and Shi Huan couldnt help it, crying out in pain, Hiss! Does it hurt? the masseuse asked. A bit, can you be gentle? Shi Huan said weakly. Sorry. The masseuse relaxed her grip. What did you say? A bit hurt? Be gentle? Who should be gentle? Chu Xiuhuangs roaring voice came over the phone. Frowning, Shi Huan replied, Im having a massage. A massage? Chu Xiuhuang didnt believe it, Really? That voice doesnt it sound like when a man does that asking to be gentle? He blurted out, Are you messing around with another man? Chu Xiuhuang! Shi Huans voice was low, I am in a club having a massage with Miss Mo and Mrs. Huo. Take a picture and let me see. What kind of picture? Guess? Shi Huan glanced at Mo Weiyi. She was reading a magazine, her pretty face dainty and picturesque. Could it be Chu Xiuhuang wanted to see Mo Weiyi? But Miss Mo is reading a maga What Miss Mo, I want to see you! Chu Xiuhuang yelled, irritated by this silly secretary! Me? Shi Huan was confused, What was there to see in her? Yeah, take a selfie and show me, otherwise I wont believe you. Shi Huan: She suddenly felt Chu Xiuhuang was acting like a child. Too childish! Hurry up, take a pic so I can see. Did you hear that? Hmm? Chu Xiuhuang kept urging over the phone. With no other choice, Shi Huan answered, Alright. She hung up the phone, took her cell, snapped a selfie of her face covered with seaweed mud mask and immediately sent it over. Chu, do you believe me now? Chu then sent a few words, [truely fucking ugly.] Shi Huan: She wanted to curse. She didnt want to talk to him anymore! Shi Huan immediately revoked the photo and put down her phone. After thinking about it, she simply picked it up again and turned it off. Finally, the world was quiet. ** On the other end of the phone, in the hospital bed, Chu Xiuhuang leaned against the head of the bed, his eyebrows raised and his eyes full of smiles. Ha ha ha. Did she think that he could not see the picture anymore once she revoked it? He had already saved that selfie swiftly. In the photo, Shi Huan was wearing a pink robe from the clubhouse, lying in bed, with her hair all wrapped up in a pink scarf, and her face covered with a kind of eerie green mask, thick, with only eyes and mouth visible. She was truly hideous! Seeing that Shi Huan was not responding, Chu Xiuhuang quickly sent another message, [I suddenly want to eat dumplings tonight, can you make it? I want pork and cabbage.] Ever since Shi Huan cooked for him, Chu Xiuhuang found that he liked her cooking skills. Light, clean, tasty, and full of love Who would have thought Secretary Shi, apart from being pretty and competent, can also cook such delicious dishes! Other than her being cold and always opposing him, she actually qualifies as a good wife. Chu Xiuhuang had a wonderful week. However Why is this secretary not responding again? He picked up his phone and called her, but Sorry, the phone you are trying to call is switched off. What the fuck! Switched off? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face twitched slightly, and a surge of fury rushed up, which he simply couldnt suppress. Out of control, he immediately got up. ** Meanwhile, in the clubhouse. Mo Weiyis phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Ling Zhizhou. Only then did Mo Weiyi remember that she had forgotten to reply to his WeChat message. Looking at the two people still lying there enjoying themselves, she got up and went outside to answer the call. Senior sister? Are you okay? Ling Zhizhou asked with concern. I couldnt get through your phone, I thought something had happened to you. No, I lost my phone, sorry, I just bought a new one. Oh, I see. Ling Zhizhou smiled. Senior sister, are you still coming to watch the play this afternoon? Um, sorry, I cant make it, because Im at the clubhouse with a friend. I see, no problem, Ill ask you next time when I get a chance. Alright. Ling Zhizhous reaction was quite normal. Mo Weiyi shook her head, thinking she must have overthought it. After hanging up the phone and about to return, she suddenly heard someone calling, Tian Ye. Mo Weiyi turned her head to look. Sure enough, Tian Ye was walking in from outside with a woman. The woman was wearing a black coat, paired with a white inner shirt and a matching white scarf. Her makeup was exquisite and her dress was well considered. Feeling that someone was watching her, Tian Ye quickly turned her head and looked over, only to be somewhat stunned. Tian Ye? The woman at her side also looked over. When she saw Mo Weiyis beautiful face, she was clearly surprised as well, Do you know Miss Mo? After all, everyone in the upper class knew Mo Weiyi. But Tian Ye whose family was just ordinary, how come she knows Mo Weiyi? Tian Ye smiled, Ill come find you later. Alright. Mo Weiyi was standing there, watching her friend leave, and then Tian Ye came to her. Miss Mo, what a coincidence? Mo Weiyi hooked up a light smile, Yeah, such a coincidence. Im sorry about last time, for the misunderstanding. What thing? Mo Weiyi tilted her head, Do you mean the time you took his clothes sneakily when my husband was not paying attention? Or maybe She elongated her voice, seeming arrogant, the time you pretended my husband was your boyfriend? An awkward expression quickly surfaced on Tian Yes face. After a brief silence, she said, Miss Mo, I just wanted to say that last time in the office, I really just wanted to help him hang up his clothes. Is that so? Mo Weiyi continued with her smile, No matter, anyway, my husband has already thrown away that piece of clothing. Thrown away? Tian Yes pupils contracted slightly. Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: 468, which cookie are you? Chapter 468: 468, which cookie are you? I have a cleanliness obsession and I dont like it when my husbands clothes come into contact with dirt. Any clothes that have been soiled will be thrown away, Mo Weiyi said, flicking her soft, beautiful hair. Does Miss Tian have anything else to say? My friend is waiting for me. If not Do you know why I was with Yebai that day? Tian Ye abruptly interrupted her. Oh, do tell. Mo Weiyi raised her delicate eyebrows, looking ready to listen attentively. Yebai had already explained the situation to her before, but it seems like Tian Ye had more to say now. Mo Weiyi figured it wouldnt hurt to listen. Tian Ye began her explanation while fiddling with her fingers, That day, I accompanied the companys leaders to dinner, and happened to run into Yebai at the restaurant. He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. Do you know that he suffers from stomach issues? Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips and nodded. Of course, she knew that Xiao Yebais stomach wasnt very good. As a businessman, he had to entertain, smoke, and drink. All these were part of his job demands. Xiao Yebai also happened to be the epitome of a workaholic, often forgetting to eat due to working late. However, she had not noticed anything wrong with him that day in the office as she was in a fit of anger. She only remembered his face being red, likely due to the alcohol. However, Xiao Yebais explanation seemed too casual at that time Tian Ye continued, At that time, his stomach was hurting so much that he could barely walk. I wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused. I had no choice but to buy him some medication and then drove him back to the office. On the way, he vomited on his clothes, so when we got back to the office, he went in to change. I was just trying to help hang his coat up when you walked in. Before Mo Weiyi could react, she went on. Back then, he was really sick and didnt even have time to take his medication. Yet you, his wife, questioned him right after you walked in and acted out in anger, breaking things. Miss Mo, dont you feel like you were neglecting your duty? Mo Weiyi gave a mocking laugh, Neglecting my duty? As what? May I ask which role youre playing while criticizing me? Tian Ye turned pale, I just No matter how I treat him, those are matters between my husband and me. I dont believe its your place to dictate anything to me. Mo Weiyi looked at Tian Ye in amusement, Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to judge me? Mo Weiyis blunt statement made Tian Yes pale face turn red. Although they were standing in a corner and there was hardly anyone in the club at this time, Tian Ye felt extremely embarrassed. Taking a deep breath, she tried to reply in a calm manner, I am Yebais friend and weve known each other for almost seven years Seven years? Ive known him for ten years, are you trying to compete with me regarding the duration? Do you think you stand a chance? Who were you when I met him? Mo Weiyi was aggressive. Tian Ye had not expected Mo Weiyi to be so dominant, not even bothering to maintain any superficial politeness. The young Miss Mos reputation was indeed well-deserved. Tian Ye felt weary. She nodded, Alright then. In that case, I have nothing else to say. As she was about to leave, she was stopped by Mo Weiyi. Miss Tian, now that youve said your piece, its my turn, Mo Weiyi took a step forward. Standing in nearly ten centimeters high heels, she was taller than Tian Ye. When she leaned in, her whole figure seemed to dwarf Tian Yes, displaying an air of assumed superiority. I know youre interested in my husband. Granted, my husband is excellent, and his charm is irresistible. Over the years, youre not the only woman who has taken a fancy to him. But let me be straight, youd better nip that idea in the bud. If not, I cant promise that I wont do anything drastic. Miss Mo, what do you mean by that? Tian Ye bit her lip. Im not one to mince words. Since you and my husband are classmates, and youve been admitted to the graduate school, I suppose you must be pretty clever. Mo Weiyi snickered, Theres been quite a number of news recently about mistresses being beaten up in public. If you dont understand, you can look it up on the internet to be prepared. You Tian Yes lips were almost bleeding from her biting them. She looked at the young and radiant woman in front of her. With delicate features and a pair of clear cat eyes, devoid of any worldly contamination, her youth was truly remarkable. Only twenty years old, five years younger than herself, she was still a green university student. However, her dominant character was indeed sharp and evident. Probably because she has been pampered since childhood, the pride and flamboyance were hard to conceal in her eyes. Her clothing and appearance were also extravagant, giving off an aura of superiority from head to toe. Tian Ye inadvertently tightened her grip on her hands. It took her a while to find her voice, Miss Mo, youre overthinking. Yebai and I are merely friends. As a friend, I care for him and hope that he is happy. Now that I know you care so much about him, I can rest assured as a friend. I wish you both happiness. Then, she turned around and left immediately. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, turned around and headed back to the private room. I spent practically the whole afternoon at the club. After all, it was well-equipped: from wellness care to restaurants, entertainment pretty much everything was available. It was already four in the afternoon when Shi Huan checked the time, I need to pick up Little Luoluo from school. Alright then, lets arrange another meet up next time. Su Wenwen waved with a big smile. After bidding goodbye to the two of them, Shi Huan left the shopping mall, went to school to pick up Little Luoluo, and then hurried home. On the way home, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to switch on her mobile phone. Sure enough, as soon as she turned her phone on, she saw WeChat messages from Chu Xiuhuang that had been sent hours ago. [I suddenly have a craving for dumplings tonight. Can you make them? I want the ones with pork and cabbage filling.] Pork and cabbage dumplings? Shi Huans delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Its already half-past four now, making dumplings wouldnt there be a time crunch? After considering it for a while, she decided to make a call to report on the situation. The call went through quickly. Before Shi Huan could speak, Chu Xiuhuangs voice came chillingly through from the other end, Well, well, Little Huanhuan, how dare you turn off your phone. Hehe, doing it on purpose, arent you? My apologies, Mr. Chu. I just unintentionally pressed it, Shi Huan quickly replied. Without waiting for his reaction, she immediately went on. Also, Mr. Chu, making dumplings is rather time-consuming. Its already half-past four, Im afraid it might be a bit late. How could it be too late? Chu Xiuhuang chuckled on. Shi Huan patiently explained, We can surely buy ready-made dumpling wrappers and pork filling, but chopping the cabbage will take time, and wrapping the dumplings will too Im not in a hurry. But Actually, you just find it troublesome, right? You must hate me for making additional work, for being unreasonable as a spoiled rich boy, right? And for being hard to please? Chu Xiuhuang cuttingly interrupted. Shi Huan really wanted to say, as long as you know. But thinking about the five times her wage. She swallowed her words! Chu Xiuhuang tutted, his tone suddenly gentler, In fact, its just been long since I had dumplings, so I really wanted to have some today. You dont have rush. Take your time shopping and cooking. I wont rush you, neither am I in a hurry. Gotta hang up now. And then he hung up the phone. Shi Huan was clearly bewildered. Whats with Mr. Chus mood swings? How can his temper fluctuate from one end to the other? Huanhuan, are we having dumplings for dinner? Little Luoluo curiously asked. Shi Huan had no choice but to ask her, Does Luoluo want dumplings? Yes! Little Luoluo shouted joyfully. Feasting on Huanhuans cooking every day for the past week, each meal was served with a variety of dishes. It was an absolute treat! Huanhuan, I want dumplings with celery and pork filling! Little Luoluo put in her request. Celery and pork dumplings? But didnt Chu Xiuhuang order cabbage and pork dumplings? My teacher said that eating more celery can make us taller! Upon hearing Little Luoluos simplistic reasoning, Shi Huan immediately assured her, Alright then, Ill make you dumplings with celery and pork filling. After all, theyre all pork fillings. If it comes to it when Mr. Chu asks about it, she can simply say that the cabbage stuffing was sold out. Long live Huanhuan! Little Luoluo clapped her hands cheerfully. ** Shi Huan drove to the local market near the neighbourhood to buy a heap of ingredients. As she walked out of the elevator with Little Luoluo, she was totally stunned. Because standing in the hallway outside her apartment was an all too familiar male figure. Hearing footsteps, Chu Xiuhuang turned around. First, he lazily blew a smoke ring from his thin lips, then he cocked his long eyebrows, his eyes mischievously sparkling in amusement. With charm radiating off him, he said, Little Huanhuan, are you surprised to see me? In the face of such unexpectedness, Shi Huan stood rooted to the spot, completely speechless. Wasnt this a shock rather than a surprise? Why is he here? Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: 469, don’t call me brother, call me brother-in-law instead Chapter 469: 469, dont call me brother, call me brother-in-law instead Chu Xiuhuangs gaze had already fallen on the little girl beside her. She had two long ponytails, wore a thick beige velvet coat that reached her knees, revealing two short legs in black tights, and white short boots on her feet. Her little oval face was fair and delicate, with a pair of distinctively black and white eyes slightly wide open, full of curiosity about him. Her small nose and mouth were both tender and exquisite, making her look adorably obedient. This isyour little sister? Chu Xiuhuang raised his long eyebrows. He had expected a chubby little girl, but was surprised She looks quite like you, Chu Xiuhuang immediately added. He had seen Shi Huan without glasses before, and this little girls face and eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold. Shi Huan pursed her lips, Mr. Chu, could you put out your cigarette? Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the little girl, and even though he was reluctant, he threw out the cigarette butt and stomped on it twice. If it werent for the fact that the little girl looked quite lovely, he wouldnt have done it. Huanhuan, is he a bad person? Little Luoluos soft voice rang out. Shi Huan tried to suppress a laugh, Dont be afraid, hes my boss. Boss? Little Luoluo looked at Chu Xiuhuang, feeling that he didnt seem like a good person. Also, whats a boss? Just call him uncle. Upon hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang immediately wore a stern face, Call me brother. This time it was Shi Huans turn to wear a stern face. Hes already in his thirties and he feels no shame in having a five-year-old child call him brother? Call him uncle. So, she quickly said again. Who knew Call me brother. With her big eyes wide open, little Luoluo was overwhelmed in confusion for a moment. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, looking rather displeased at Shi Huan, Little Huanhuan, is this how you treat your guests? Speaking of guests, Shi Huan frowned immediately, Mr. Chu, how did you come? Your condition Im in good health, didnt I tell you as long as you dont touch me, Im fine. Chu Xiuhuang spoke very straightforwardly. The hair on Shi Huans scalp stood on end, Can you be a little more considerate with your choice of words? Theres a child present. Whats there to be afraid of, she wouldnt understand anyway. After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang took a glance at little Luoluo. Shi Huan: Forget it. She walked over, unlocked the door, Mr. Chu, I dont have any extra slippers at home, you Ill wear yours. Chu Xiuhuang promptly replied. You wont fit into mine. Thats alright, Ill make do. Shi Huan was at a loss for words, Then what do I wear? Meanwhile, Shi Luoluo had already put on her little pink slippers, put down her backpack, took off her coat, put on her cute little uniform, wobbled on her short legs to the water dispenser, poured herself a glass of water, returned to the sofa, and sat there quietly drinking her water. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but let his gaze fall on the little girl again, and began to grumble inwardly. This isnt this little girl quite good at taking care of herself? Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but give Shi Huan another look. This secretary of the Shi family was simply a little swindler! Shi Huan was inexplicably looked at, she put down the ingredients in her hand and opened her mouth to speak, Mr. Chu, let me go to the supermarket downstairs to buy you a pair of slippers. No need. Chu Xiuhuang directly took off his leather shoes and walked in, Someone will be sending them over soon. Thankfully, he had the foresight. Shi Huan nodded her head. Sure enough, just as she had put things into the small kitchen, there came a knock on the door. Shi Huan quickly came out. Only to find that Chu Xiuhuang had brought in a huge bag Mr. Chu, why did you buy so many things? Is it just for eating dumplings? Why does it feel like hes planning to stay here? Chu Xiuhuang settled down on the sofa, Dont mind me, just get on with making the dumplings. Oh. Shi Huan frowned. She felt uncomfortable seeing him sitting so comfortably and casually in her living room. She bought this house early on, when this property development had just started selling. It happened to be the end of the year and she had received a substantial dividend from Mr. Chu. She made a bold decision and used it all to buy this house. For all these years, because of constantly repaying her familys debts, she hadnt managed to save much money. However, having this house gave her a sense of security in this city. The little dwelling wasnt luxurious, but every object in it was prepared by her. At first, she thought that shed be living alone, so she bought furniture that was particularly practical and sufficient for one person. After little Luoluo came, because she was just a five-year-old child, Shi Huan didnt feel anything was amiss. But now that Chu Xiuhuang had entered, Shi Huan suddenly felt the house was too small and the furniture too small. Especially the sofa, it felt like it was about to collapse under Chu Xiuhuang who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. And then that little tea table, which she felt was quite large when she used it, seemed like a miniature table in front of Chu Xiuhuang. Not to mention, as soon as he stood up, she felt he was nearly touching the ceiling. Shi Huan felt a lot of pressure and quickly said, Mr. Chu, please take a seat. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, then sat back down again. He wanted to offer to help her wash the vegetables, but since she was so polite, he decided not to. On the side, little Luoluo busily moved her little butt deeper into the sofa, making room for the uncle. Chu Xiuhuang reached into the bag for the slippers, which were tied up with a nylon cord. He tugged at it for a while, and then the little girls soft voice called out, Uncle, let me help you cut it. The corner of Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched as he turned to look at her. If it werent for her looking pretty cute, hed have been tempted to give a kick to any annoying brats who couldnt stop talking. Call me brother, he instructed. Little Luoluo blinked her eyes, But Huanhuan told me to call you uncle. Whats Huanhuan to you? Chu Xiuhuang suddenly asked. Luoluo obediently answered, Huanhuan is my sister. Chu Xiuhuang grinned in satisfaction, then whispered, Your sister likes me. Little Luoluo opened her mouth in surprise. Now you know what you should call me, right? Chu Xiuhuang was delighted, Call me brother. Little Luoluo looked at him. Somehow, she felt like she couldnt utter the word brother. Its okay if you dont call me brother. Chu Xiuhuangs smile grew mischievous, You can call me brother-in-law. Luoluo blinked her eyes then turned away. Something seems to be wrong with this uncles brain. Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: 470, the beauty of the Secretary-General at that time Chapter 470: 470, the beauty of the Secretary-General at that time Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows. Whats wrong with this little brat? Why is she ignoring me? He put on his slippers and peeked over, seeing the little girl immersed in her tiny cellphone playing Candy Crush. Childish! He settled back on the sofa. Having nothing to do again. He heard some clatter from the kitchen, so he decided to get up. The house was a single-room layout with a living room and a bathroom. Although it was small, it was neatly arranged, warm and cozy, with plenty of plants on the balcony, lush greenery all around. Chu Xiuhuang walked into the kitchen while observing it. Shi Huan was busy picking celery, suddenly she heard a voice behind her, Wheres my cabbage? Shi Huan was startled. She turned around, seeing Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face filled with discontent, she could only say, Chu, celery with minced pork is delicious too. I asked you, wheres my cabbage? Shi Huan had to admit the truth, Luoluo wanted to eat celery with minced pork. Chu Xiuhuang: Again this little brat, who had many demands. Chu, if you really cant stand celery, Ill go right now and. Who told you I dont like celery? Then. Just cook. Chu Xiuhuang snapped, Ill let this one slide, but let me remind you, I am your boss! I understand. Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and resumed picking the vegetables. Gosh, this bossy Chu had more to say shortly. Little Huanhuan. His voice was right behind her. Shi Huan hurriedly turned around, just as expected, Chu Xiuhuang had walked over and was standing right behind her. The house was small, and naturally, the kitchen space was even smaller. Shi Huan felt trapped, her breathe thins as the smell of manly cigar scent hit her, she felt her heart beating rapidly, and her glasses-covered almond eyes went wide. Chu, you Her vision blurred. Chu Xiuhuang had already taken off her glasses. Really, why are you wearing glasses at home! Chu Didnt you say wearing glasses makes you look mature, useful for work? Now its just the two of us at home, and that little brat, who are you trying to look mature for? This statement was irrefutable. But without glasses, Shi Huan always felt insecure. She squinted her eyes, and after a while she adjusted to the change and continued with her work. However Shi Huan couldnt help raising her head again, Chu, do you need anything? She saw Chu Xiuhuang leaning against the wall, his hands crossed, his lips curled into a smug, and his narrow phoenix eyes staring directly at her. Hearing her words, he maintained his posture and replied, No. Shi Huan blinked, Im cooking, you. You do your work, I watch mine. Chu, theres nothing interesting about cooking. Why dont you wait in the living room, watch some TV, or read some magazines, or play on your mobile. Cooking isnt interesting, Chu Xiuhuangs lips curled into a smirk, Im watching someone. Shi Huan was taken aback. Someone? Nursing really does make you different. Chu Xiuhuang murmured. What? Before she could react, Chu Xiuhuang took a step forward and extended his hand. Shi Huans eyes widened in shock. She was holding some celery, and wasnt prepared, as a result, her left cheek was pinched by Chu Xiuhuangs bony yet firm fingers. He squeezed and kneaded her cheek, swaying it from left to right, his thumb poked her cheek as well. Such a cute face. Chu Xiuhuang said while increasing his force. So tender and slick, terrific to touch. The skin on her face was so delightful Chu, what are you doing? Chu Xiuhuangs hand was forcefully pulled away. He sank his handsome face and pulled his hands back into his pants pockets. Shi Huan massaged her left cheek, watching his gloomy expression, she blurted out, You didnt wash your hands. Chu Xiuhuang: After a few coughs, he immediately spun around, Im going to wash my hands. ** After using the restroom, he returned to the living room and heard the little girls voice. Ive done all my homework now. Hearing the words, Chu Xiuhuang replied approvingly, Good job. Almost immediately a little boys voice rang out, Luoluo, youre awesome. Chu Xiuhuang: Damn this is embarrassing! Shi Luoluo raised her gaze to look at him, then continued speaking into her phone, Fu Ziyang, do you enjoy watching Detective Conan? Fu Ziyang? Chu Xiuhuangs brows twitched. Wasnt this his brothers elder grandson? Damn, children these days, they mature so early, dont they? A 5-year-old kid already knows how to chat up girls through voice messages? Chu Xiuhuang stood there, with the tip of his tongue repeatedly rubbing the inside of his cheek as his phoenix eyes narrowed. About twenty minutes later, Shi Huan came out of the kitchen with a steaming plate of dumplings and placed them on the coffee table, You guys start first. After speaking, she rushed back to the kitchen to get bowls, chopsticks, and dipping sauce, and put them on the table. Chu Xiuhuang glanced at her, picked up the chopsticks and quickly grabbed a dumpling and put it in his mouth. Yum. Delicious! Chu Xiuhuang thought while eating. This Secretary Shi was quite pretty, had great skin, a terrific figure, strong work capabilities, even her cooking was superb, and she was good at taking care of people. Aside from the fact that she loves to contradict him and occasionally goof off, all in all, she was a very virtuous woman. They had been colleagues for five years and understood each other well, and had known each other for many years before. Also, he was familiar with her family background. Chu Xiuhuang reckoned, it was time to speed up certain things, it was time for a love confession. Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: 471, the turtle in the jar Chapter 471: 471, the turtle in the jar At that time, Shi Huan was still skillfully making dumplings in the kitchen, completely unaware that she had already become the prey of someones scheme. Having wrapped all the remaining dumpling skins and fillings, and having boiled them, she divided them amongst three plates and served them. As expected, the plate of dumplings on the coffee table had already been cleaned out. As soon as Little Luoluo saw Shi Huan bringing over new dumplings, her beautiful, big eyes lit up. She grabbed her small bowl and chopsticks and immediately started eating. Shi Huan couldnt help but remind her, Luoluo, dont eat too much for dinner, youll feel uncomfortable. Little Luoluo looked at her with a hurt expression and retorted, Ive only eaten two. There were a total of twenty dumplings in the first plate. Because she ate slowly due to her small mouth, the other eighteen dumplings had all been eaten by a certain uncle. Shi Huan immediately turned to look at Chu Xiuhuang. Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat twice, If you want to eat, just say so. You were eating so slowly, I thought you didnt like them. Little Luoluo blinked her eyes and continued her griping, I eat slowly. Shi Huan directly grabbed the chopsticks, clipped several dumplings for the little girl, and said, Eat quickly. Chu Xiuhuang looked over and started complaining again, Little Huanhuan, why arent you helping me? Shi Huan responded with a forced smile, Do you need me to feed you? Chu Xiuhuang, unabashed, responded, I wouldnt mind. Shi Huan: She took a small stool and sat down across from the coffee table, ignoring him. Chu Xiuhuang stretched his long legs and chuckled, Ill buy you a bigger sofa later, and this coffee table is too small too. Shi Huan simply acted as if she didnt hear him. After finishing the dumplings, Shi Huan was left speechless again. She had made more than eighty dumplings, thinking she could save some for the next days breakfast. Yet, Chu Xiuhuang ate nearly sixty of them by himself. He really was a pig! The pig-prince was now slouched on the sofa, his long legs sprawled out. He rubbed his belly and commanded, Little Huanhuan, fetch your boss a glass of water. Shi Huan resignedly got up and brought him a glass of warm water. After Mr. Chu leisurely finished his glass of warm water, she hurriedly said, Mr. Chu, its getting late. The implication being: you should leave now. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Whats the rush? Its nearly eight oclock, Shi Huan bluntly replied. Luoluo needs to go to bed at nine. So shes going to sleep right after eating, like a pig? Chu Xiuhuang blurted out. Upon being called a pig, Little Luoluo immediately pouted in discontent. Shi Huan was also looking quite displeased, Mr. Chu, its rude to talk that way. Chu Xiuhuang looked at the teary-eyed little girl and attempted to explain seriously, I mean it for her own good. You shouldnt eat four hours before bed, and you should do some light activity after dinner. If she goes to bed right after eating shell easily gain weight and become a fat kid, which wont look good If it wasnt for your insistence on having dumplings, would I even be stirring up such a fuss so late and eating dinner at this hour? Shi Huan interrupted him. Chu Xiuhuang didnt reply. Mr. Chu, please go back. Your health isnt good and its not advisable for you to stay out late. In case your condition worsens, Ill need to take care of you again, Shi Huan said in a no-nonsense way. After finishing, she promptly got up and opened the door. Chu Xiuhuang felt rather dismissed. Especially when he met Little Luoluos big, bright eyes. He frowned, Are you trying to drive me away now? Shi Huan responded calmly, Mr. Chu is overthinking it. Im just considering your health. Haha. Chu Xiuhuang let out a cynical laugh. A hypocritical woman. Obviously she wanted him to leave, but she didnt want to lose that fivefold salary. Did she think he couldnt see that? Getting up and grabbing his coat, Chu Xiuhuang strode towards the door. Suddenly, he said, Youre driving me. Shi Huans eye twitched, Im driving you? Yeah, its so late. You dont expect your boss to return alone, do you? Chu Xiuhuang responded shamelessly. May I ask, Mr. Chu, how did you get here? Shi Huan asked. I took a taxi. Then taking a taxi back should be fine. Chu Xiuhuang parried this move too. Its too late now. Im so handsome, its not safe for me to take a taxi alone. Havent you seen the recent news? You know how many young women have been victimized by cab drivers? Shi Huan: Drive me. Chu Xiuhuang ordered. Shi Huan took a deep breath, Wait a moment. Soon, Shi Huan had put on her coat, taken her car keys, and left home with Chu Xiuhuang. Throughout the drive, she didnt say a word or even glance at him, pretending to remain placid. When the car finally stopped in the car park of Nangong Hospital, she remained facing forward, Mr. Chu, were at the hospital. Chu Xiuhuang supported his chin with his fist, a pair of jade-like eyes staring intently at her. In fact, from the moment they left the house to get in the car, he had maintained this posture without changing. He didnt say a word, leaving Shi Huan no choice but to turn and ask him, Mr. Chu? Chu Xiuhuang, corners of his lips curved up in a slight smile, started speaking, Little Huanhuan, what do you think of me? What do you mean? What kind of man do you think I, Chu Xiuhuang, am in the eyes of a woman? Shi Huan carefully weighed her words, Mr. Chu, you are handsome and knowledgeable, and you come from an aristocratic family. You are also very generous to women. Youre an outstanding man. So, Im that perfect in your eyes? Chu Xiuhuang seemed very pleased with herself. However, Shi Huans smile was quite stiff, Indeed, in the eyes of the women of Nancheng, Mr. Chu is perfect. In that case, Chu Xiuhuang continued smiling, Little Huanhuan, would you consider me? What do you mean? Shi Huan was taken aback again. Chu Xiuhuang reached out, placing a hand on her shoulder, and said earnestly, word by word, Give it some thought, and consider becoming Chu Xiuhuangs woman. Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: 472, Chu Er is acting dishonestly Chapter 472: 472, Chu Er is acting dishonestly Shi Huan looked at him, completely stunned. The enclosed cabin was filled with a deadly silence. Surprised? Chu Xiuhuang patted her shoulder, with a tone full of overwhelming grace, Knew you would be like this, but its alright, Ill give you time to adjust. I, Chu Xiuhuang would never force a woman. Once youre used to it, we can move on to the next step What has gotten into you, Mr. Chu? Shi Huan abruptly interrupted him. Has he gone mad? He wants her to be his woman? Is he sure he didnt decide it out of impulse? Could it be Shi Huan quickly said, Mr. Chu, I know that due to my mistake, you werehurt and had to be hospitalized. I was wrong, but dont worry, the current state of medical treatment is very advanced and Nangong Hospital, being one of the top-notch hospitals nationally, as long as you cooperate with the doctors treatments, you will certainly recover. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened. Tomorrow, I will inquire about it with the doctors at Nangong Hospital. In case it doesnt get better, we can head overseas and find the best doctor. Shi Huan explained earnestly, Mr. Chu, please do not give up on your treatment. Chu Xiuhuang continued to scowl. I know having an issue in that area generally means life has lost its meaning, and it would be hard to find a woman willing to be with you, butplease do not lose hope Do you think I got injured, thats why I am just randomly finding a woman, which is you, to take care of me for the rest of my life? Chu Xiuhuang finally opened up, but the voice was eerily cold. Shi Huan bit her lower lip and furrowed her brows. Isnt this exactly what he is doing? He had been hospitalized for so long, and there hasnt been any noticeable improvement in his condition. Honestly, she was also quite anxious. If Chu Xiuhuang did stick with her because of this The next second, In that case, I dont need to ask for your opinion anymore. Chu Xiuhuang smirked coldly, Yes, how didnt I think of this earlier? I was injured because of you. In that case, someone has to be held responsible for this. And that is you, indeed. You should be responsible for looking after me for the rest of my life. Huanhuan, you are indeed a good secretary, youve awakened me. Shi Huan: Starting from today, you are my woman, Chu Xiuhuang declared decisively. He felt he was being too indecisive. After all the back and forth, asking for her opinion was totally unnecessary. Chu Xiuhuang should have done this right from the start when he was pretending to be hospitalized but instead went around in circles. Before Shi Huan could object, Chu Xiuhuang continued, Indeed, the injury was caused by you. Unless you can cure me, otherwise, I am sticking with you for life. If you are not convinced, I will tell my grandfather about it, or I could tell my mom Dont! Shi Huan blurted out. Chu Xiuhuang smiled in satisfaction, As soon as I tell them that youve destroyed me, they would instantly force you to marry me and become the daughter-in-law of the Chu Family. Huanhuan, have you decided what you are going to do? Shi Huan only felt a severe headache, Mr. Chu, I thinkthe doctor can definitely cure you. Anyway, before Im healed, you are my woman, Chu Xiuhuang said with his gaze drifting downwards. Then he extended his tongue and gently licked his thin lips. His appearance was bewitchingly provocative. I want to kiss you! The moment she heard this, Shi Huan felt her scalp tingling. When Chu Xiuhuang really leaned over her, she was so scared that she stepped back, No, Mr. Chu, dont act impulsively. Why not? Hurry up, youre already my woman. Whats wrong with having a little intimacy? Saying that, Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her shoulder, and dove right at her. Mr. Chu, stop, dont, Shi Huan tried to shrink back, but she was terrified. This is not how things should be, forcing intimacy on someone out of the blue? But there is only so much she could do as a woman against his strength, and the space in the front seat was limited, so he had her hands under his control very quickly Shi Huan saw his handsome face approaching rapidly, her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Just when she couldnt bear it anymore and was about to close her eyes. Knock, knock, knock, knock! The car window was urgently knocked upon. Long eyebrows quickly knitted together in annoyance, looking up, a security guard was shining a flashlight in from outside the window. Chu Xiuhuang was startled. Damn! This damned ghost, playing pranks in the middle of the night, almost scared him Shi Huan hurriedly pushed him off and lowered the car window. Sir, whats wrong? her face was still somewhat reddish. Even though they didnt do anything. The security guard also looked a bit embarrassed, first glanced at Chu Xiuhuang in the car, then said in a rough voice, Youre blocking the cars behind, please move your car if there is nothing wrong. Sorry, I will move it right away. finished speaking, Shi Huan turned her head and looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Mr. Chu, you should get off quickly, Im going back. Thin lips pursed, Chu Xiuhuang did not get to kiss her, and was feeling rather grumpy on the inside. Soon after, the sound of the car horn came from behind. The continuous and sharp honking clearly showed their impatience. Mr. Chu, the car behind is honking, Shi Huan couldnt help but remind. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, glanced at the Mercedes behind him, suddenly, he pushed open the car door and got out of the car. Thought he was going back to the ward, who knew he was walking towards the back. One second later, Shi Huan also hurriedly got out of the car. Chu Xiuhuang came to the Mercedes at the back, bent his finger and knocked on the window. The window quickly went down, and an irate mans voice was heard, You idiot, cant you make out at home? Are you blinded by lust Ah! Before he could finish speaking, a heavy punch came flying toward his face. The man felt an intense pain in his nose, and he couldnt help screaming. Such a fierce punch, not holding back at all, the blood gushed out from his nose. The woman driver screamed, Why are you beating him up? Security, security! Shi Huan ran faster than the security guard. When she reached, she quickly began apologizing, Im sorry, hope youre not badly hurt. The car door opened, a woman got out of the car and started scolding her, Are you blind? He is bleeding! And you are asking whether hes hurt?. Shi Huan looked at the man who got out of the car. His hand was on his nose, blood was seeping down his face and through his fingers, it was indeed a harrowing sight. Im sorry, my boss he Sorry? Your man beat up my boyfriend like this, and you think a simple sorry would suffice? You must give me an explanation today, or else Ill not let this matter rest! Ill see you at the police station! The woman started making a fuss, reaching for her phone to call the police. Police station? Shi Huan frowned, was about to say something else Let me see, Chu Xiuhuangs frivolous voice rang out, Yo, Mr. Wang, youre bleeding. Should I call your wife over to take a look? Mr. Wang? Wife? Does he know them? Shi Huan was surprised. As for the man referred to as Director Wang, after hearing this familiar voice, he began to suspect something was amiss. When he opened his eyes wide and focused his gaze, he immediately shuddered, his fat body trembling strongly, Chu Chu junior? My god, it was actually Chu Xiuhuang. Chu Xiuhuang pursed his thin lips, his smile was wilful and wild, Whats the matter? You, the mistress, want to take me to the police station? No, no, Director Wang quickly waved his hand. There were still two blobs of fresh blood hanging from his bulbous nose, fat face was stuck in a stiff yet pleasing smile, which seemed rather comical. It was my mistake, I disturbed Mr. Chu and his girlfriend from their intimate moment. Im sorry, Im sorry, it was my fault. Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes, Then you best leave. Yes, Ill leave straight away, Director Wang pulled his mistress into the car with him and sped off. Although they were supposed to park in the garage, they reversed and drove away chaotically, the car lights almost formed an S shape, likely from fright. It was a narrow escape for Shi Huan. She lifted her eyes to see Chu Xiuhuang squinting and immediately said, Mr. Chu, you should go back to your room. Im going back, goodbye. Without waiting for his response, she quickly ran to her car and drove off The whole process didnt last more than 5 seconds. Chu Xiuhuang stood there squinting for a long time before taking out his mobile phone from his pocket. ** As soon as Shi Huan had driven out of the hospital, her mobile phone suddenly rang. She looked at the incoming call; it was a voice message from Chu Xiuhuang. She immediately put the phone back down. Not until she got home, did she open that message. Chu Xiuhuangs voice came through the phone clearly, You dont need to deliver breakfast to the hospital tomorrow. Come and pick me up at midday, have lunch with my big brother. Big Brother? Does he mean Director Huo? Shi Huan responded, OK. But soon there was another message from Chu Xiuhuang, Take some time to dress up a bit. Now that you are going to be my woman, you cant embarrass me. Shi Huan: She pretended not to have seen it. As for what he said Just ignore it as him being flighty. She put down her phone, went into the bedroom and pushed open the door to peek inside. Little Luoluo had already fallen asleep on the bed. After closing the bedroom door, she saw the big bag next to the sofa at a glance. As if possessed, Shi Huan walked over to the bag and opened it. The bag was full of daily necessities, toothpaste, toothbrush, teacup, towel, and even disposable underwear. Shi Huan frowned, walked over to pick up the pair of slippers at the entrance and stuffed them all into the bag. ** The next morning, after dropping off Little Luoluo at the training class, Shi Huan drove to the hospital. As soon as she entered the ward. Didnt I tell you to dress up? Young Master Chu was displeased. Quilted jacket, jeans, snow boots, hat, scarf, gloves She was bundled up like a bear. Shi Huan showed no expression, Im cold. Chu Xiuhuang: Forget it. His woman can act as she pleases. He took out his phone and dialed a number, Sister, I just texted you the address. Arrive by eleven, remember dont be late. Shi Huan was surprised. As Chu Xiuhuang ended his call, she immediately asked, Is Miss Chu also going? Yes, Chu Xiuhuang picked up his coat. About to put it on, he looked at Shi Huans black down jacket, went back to the closet, and changed into a black coat. Now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they needed to match their clothing in the future. ** At the same time, at Nancheng University. Baby Wanwan, are you going to leave me behind and go off to be with Mr. Huo again? Mo Weiyi was lying on the single sofa in his dorm room, hugging the doll in his arms and looking unhappy. He asked me to have dinner. He said theres an important matter to discuss. In fact, Su Wanwan didnt want to go. It was so cold and windy outside, it would have been much better to stay in the dorm and study. However, Huo Jingshen said it was a matter of importance and that hed arranged to meet with Chu Xiuhuang. Even though Su Wanwan felt that she probably didnt have much to discuss with Chu Xiuhuang. Hmph. Mo Weiyi put down the doll, Ill call Rong An to come and have dinner with me. Its windy outside, why dont you just get him to deliver some food here? No, I want steak today, so Rong An and I will go out to eat. Alright then. It was her bodyguard; she could do as she wished. Su Wanwan looked in the mirror, applied some lipstick and said, Im leaving. Goodbye. After Su Wanwan had left, Mo Weiyi phoned Rong An. Princess. Rong An, where are you? Come and have lunch with me. I want steak, find a good restaurant. Okay, princess. Ill be at the school soon. ** At the Mo familys old house. Rong An quickly went to get his car keys and left his room. When he reached the garage, he found Xiao Yebai standing there smoking a cigarette. It was a rare sight. Because Xiao Yebai always seemed busy, hanging around in the garage smoking seemed too idle, and it was extremely unusual for him. Rong An remained calm. Young Master Xiao. He greeted him, then walked past and opened the car door. Rong An. The mans deep and calm voice suddenly rang out. Rong An turned back, Young Master Xiao, do you have any other instructions? Drive me to the Jinmao Building, Xiao Yebai extinguished the cigarette and said in a bland voice. Rong An looked at the time, But I have to go to the university now to have lunch with the Princess. Xiao Yebai: Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: 473, Aloof Xiaobai Chapter 473: 473, Aloof Xiaobai The slender, boned fingers extinguished the cigarette butt into a nearby trash can. Xiao Yebai said, No problem, its conveniently on my way. Rong An: Nancheng University is in the South Fifth Ring, while Jinmao Building is in the North Fourth Ring. Leaving the old house is literally going in the opposite direction. Which part of this is supposed to be convenient? However, Xiao Yebai was already heading over. As a subordinate, he wasnt in a position to say much, so he got in the car. The black Audi slowly left the garage and drove away from the old house along the avenue. On the way, both men were silent until they were through the gate when Rong Ans mobile phone suddenly rang. After glancing at the screen, Rong An subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror. The man seated in the back had been looking out of the window since he got into the car, his handsome, refined profile serene and quiet. Rong An answered the call. After giving it some thought, he turned on the speakerphone, Princess. Mo Weiyis clear, sweet voice immediately filled the car. Rong An, have you decided on the restaurant yet? Before Rong An could respond, she continued, The French restaurant on the fifth floor of the Jinmao Building is pretty decent. Why dont we go there? I havent been there for a long time. Alright, princess. How long until you reach? Mo Weiyi asked. Rong An glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated and said, Twenty minutes. Alright, I will wait for you at the university gate. After hanging up, Rong An asked for permission, Master Xiao, may I pick up the princess first? Xiao Yebais response was a nonchalant Mm. The car was quiet once again. Rong An drove all the way to Nancheng University. From a distance, he could see Mo Weiyi waiting by the roadside at the university gate. She was dressed in a thick cream-colored coat, a black and white beret on her head. A pair of vintage sunglasses was perched on her petite nose. Her honey-colored curls danced in the wind, her lips seductively red. As the car stopped, Mo Weiyi walked directly to the back seat. But as soon as she opened the door, she froze on the spot. Rong An quickly explained, Master Xiao asked me to give him a lift to the Jinmao Building. Although the explanation seemed superfluous. With so many luxury cars and chauffeurs at the Mo Familys disposal, it was not hard to see what was going on. Mo Weiyis grip on the door handle whitened slightly due to the force she was exerting. She looked at the man. He was sitting in the inner seat at the back, his long and straight legs crossed leisurely. His handsome face was cold and ruthless, and those pitch-black eyes were calmly looking at her. Mo Weiyi was grateful that she was wearing sunglasses. After a brief pause, instead of retreating to the passenger seat in the front, which would be too obvious and cowardly, she stepped into the car and sat down. After closing the car door, she remained composed, her voice calm and waveless, Rong An, I dont want to go to Jinmao anymore. Lets go to Michelin on Sea Road instead. Rong An said, Okay. Xiao Yebai squinted slightly. However He didnt say anything. Rong An started the car and drove off. After Mo Weiyi sat for a while, she felt the atmosphere in the car was awkwardly stiff. Even though there were three people in the car, none of them spoke. Well, nevermind. She simply took out her phone and sent a message to the group, [Baby Wanwan, have you eaten yet?] Su Wanwan: [Secretary Shi just said the traffic was bad, we are waiting for her.] Mo Weiyi: [What? Secretary Shi too? How many people are you dining with?] The following was an emoticon of Quan Luer crying. How heartbreaking, there are only three people in the group chat, but these two left her alone to have dinner together! Su Wanwan: [I also only found out when I got here, there are four people in total as far as I know.] Mo Weiyi: [I want to join you next time!] Su Wanwan: [Sure.] Just after Mo Weiyi sent an emoticon, Su Wanwan sent another message, [They have arrived, gotta go.] Mo Weiyi: She put down her phone and focused her gaze out of the window. But no matter how much she tried to ignore it, the familiar masculine scent by her side still made its way into her nostrils with each breath. Mo Weiyi bit her lip, feeling mentally drained. She never anticipated their situation to have ended up like this. At first, she simply felt hurt by his attitude that day and didnt want to be the one apologizing and seeking for his approval again. But after the misunderstanding was cleared, it seemed as if He had become even more indifferent due to her aloofness. Now, it seemed like they were both competing to see who could be more indifferent towards the other. They could even act like complete strangers while sitting in the same car Mo Weiyi just had scattered thoughts while incessantly biting her lip. Only after realizing that she almost wiped off her lipstick did she lowered her head to look for the lipstick and compact mirror in her bag. Unfortunately, the car suddenly made a left turn at that moment. The compact mirror and lipstick in Mo Weiyis hand flew out instantly, dropping under the seat. She bent down, her hand fumbling under the seat cushion. Despite her futile attempts to find what she was looking for, she felt a mans hand grab hers suddenly. It was warm, strong, and familiar. Mo Weiyi felt her heart skip a beat and immediately tried to pull her hand back. But the mans hand tightened its grip, making it impossible for her to break free. After struggling for a while, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but look up at the man. Xiao Yebai was sitting expressionlessly, his dark, deep eyes staring at her with a calm, detached look. It was as if he had done nothing at all. But he was still holding her hand. Mo Weiyi asked directly, What are you trying to do? A females obviously accusing voice broke the silence in the car. Rong An furrowed his brows and quickly glanced at the rear-view mirror. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yebais cool and deep voice slowly sounded, You touched my leg. Mo Weiyi widened her eyes in shock, What nonsense are you spouting? When did I touch your leg? I was picking up something! Xiao Yebai didnt say a word. His handsome face remained calm as he released her hand, sat up straight, and adjusted his lapels. From start to finish, he moved gracefully, unhurriedly, and calmly. On the other hand, she was the one who seemed too reactive and flustered. Mo Weiyi was left stunned. She never realized before that he could be so shameless. Princess, is everything alright? Rong Ans voice broke her thoughts. Mo Weiyi turned her gaze away, huffily replying, Nothings wrong! As if it wasnt! Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: 474, I won’t quibble with the princess Chapter 474: 474, I wont quibble with the princess Xiao Yebai hooked his thin lips, looking out of the window with an askance glance. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi sulked alone. She had even forgotten to pick up her stuff. Once they arrived at the dining place and the car stopped, Mo Weiyi instantly pushed the car door open to get out. Rong An looked into the rear-view mirror, Mr. Xiao? Xiao Yebai also pushed the door open to get out of the car. Rong An: He had no choice but to follow suit and alight. As expected, Mo Weiyi couldnt hold back anymore when she saw Xiao Yebai get out of the car, Werent you heading to the Jinmao Building? Xiao Yebai remained silent. Mo Weiyi stared at the stern, silent man. His cat eyes behind the sunglasses stared straight back at her, What are you getting out for? Xiao Yebai stilled, not uttering a word. Mo Weiyi subconsciously started biting her lip, she was about to ask again Xiao Yebai suddenly extended his hand. Mo Weiyi realized that it was her lipstick and makeup mirror that shed left in the car. Lying in the mans large, slender palm, the items seemed incredibly delicate. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to reach out and take them. Turned out he had only gotten out of the car to give her the items shed left behind. Once she understood his motivation, she took the items and turned to leave, an odd mix of disappointment and something else bubbling up inside her. The mans indifferent voice suddenly rang out, I havent had lunch yet. Mo Weiyi froze. At this point, Rong An hastily walked over, Princess, since Mr. Xiao hasnt had lunch yet, lets have it together. Mo Weiyis petite face behind her sunglasses remained expressionless. Xiao Yebai didnt speak further either. They stood in silence, facing each other off. Rong An waited quietly on the side. Until A gust of wind suddenly appeared, causing Mo Weiyis waist-length, curly hair to fly around wildly. Holding her hair down, she uttered impatiently, Whatever you want! Having said that, she turned and headed towards the restaurant. Both men immediately followed her, one behind the other. ** The Michelin Restaurant. In the spot by the window, Mo Weiyi sat alone. After taking a glance, Rong An went to sit opposite to her. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything. He just pulled out a chair and sat directly across from Mo Weiyi. Soon, a waiter came over to serve them. Mo Weiyi picked up the menu and began to order, A medium-rare filet steak, a medium-well rib-eye steak She suddenly stopped. A medium-well rib-eye steak? the waiter asked. Mo Weiyi flipped the page of the menu and casually said, Nevermind. Why not? The question came from Xiao Yebai, sitting across from her. Mo Weiyis fingers gripping the menu tightened slightly before she suddenly turned to look at the waiter, Ill take it, one medium-well rib-eye steak. Alright, miss. Mo Weiyi turned to Rong An, a sweetly charming smile on her face, Rong An, I ordered a medium-well rib-eye steak for you, is that alright? He better say yes! Rong An felt a tremor in his cheek, then he stiffly responded, Princess, as you know, I always only eat well-done beef steaks. Mo Weiyis slender fingers clenched underneath the table as she puffed out her cheeks in anger. Why was Rong An so dense? He clearly knew that she had habitually ordered Xiao Yebais favorite medium-well rib-eye steak and yet he couldnt just play along? Add a well-done beef steak to the order. Xiao Yebai spoke again. The waiter responded, Yes, sir. Then, in his typically aloof tone, Xiao Yebai continued, Weiyi has been busy studying recently and might have mistakenly ordered the type of steak you love, Rong An. Dont mind it. Mo Weiyi: Rong An nodded immediately, Rest assured, Mr. Xiao, I wont bear a grudge against the princess. Mo Weiyi once again: Both of these guys were obviously in cahoots, right? Her beautiful cat eyes couldnt help but glare at Rong An again. Traitor! Without her sunglasses, the traitorous Rong An felt intensely uncomfortable under her gaze and immediately took a big gulp from his glass of water. When he lifted his eyes and saw that Mo Weiyi was still staring at him intently, he took another large gulp. In no time, hed guzzled his entire glass of lemon water. When the filet steak was served, Mo Weiyi was about to push the plate towards him Rong An suddenly stood up, Excuse me, I drank too much water; I need to go to the restroom. Mo Weiyi stared at his retreating figure in utter disbelief. Rong An was definitely doing this on purpose C if he wasnt, she would stop using her surname, Mo! Just as she was about to move the plate back towards her, a long, pale male hand appeared in front of her, effortlessly bringing the plate back in front of him. Mo Weiyis fingers stiffened over the tabletop. She bit her lip, said nothing and silently watched him cut the steak into small pieces. He had studied at the American Institute and had therefore received formal etiquette training from both East and West societies. His steak cutting action was naturally elegant and pleasing to watch. Staring at him, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt a wave of irony. In the past, whenever they had steak, hadnt she always been the one to coax him into helping her cut her steak? This was the first time, even before she could utter a word, he had taken the initiative to help. The steak was quickly cut into evenly-sized pieces by his knife and fork, almost as if deliberately trying to frustrate those suffering from OCD. You can eat now. Xiao Yebai placed the plate back in front of her. His voice was as indifferent as always. Thank you. After Mo Weiyi said this, she picked up her knife and fork, and started eating in earnest. The mans profound, black eyes tightened slightly, falling onto her tranquil face, and lingering there for a while before finally looking away. Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: 475, Xiaobai’s Classmate Gathering Chapter 475: 475, Xiaobais Classmate Gathering When Rong An returned, he felt no change in the atmosphere at the dining table from when he left. It was still quiet and solemn as before. After sitting at the table, he also didnt say a word. Fortunately, the entire restaurant was inherently quiet, so it didnt make their table seem weird. After finishing lunch, Mo Weiyi got up, put on her sunglasses and coat, picked up her purse, and headed outside. Without uttering a word. Rong An coughed slightly, Ill go pay the bill. Xiao Yebai nodded and got up to follow her out. At the roadside. Mo Weiyi, with her arms folded, was standing by the parked cars. She looked at the buildings across the street through her sunglasses, her red lips bewitching, curls dancing freely in the wind. At first glance, she was stunningly elegant and, incredibly beautiful. The tall, slender man strode over, reached out, and forcefully yanked her arm. Mo Weiyi staggered, twisting her ankle, and let out a scream, Ah! By the time she reacted, she had already fallen into Xiao Yebais arms. She was held tightly by the strong arms around her waist, his strong scent was all she could smell. Mo Weiyi quickly steadied herself and tried to push him away, but the arm around her waist tightened. Though they were both wearing heavy winter clothes, Mo Weiyis face was slightly red. This was, after all, a busy pedestrian street in Nancheng, and it was bustling with tourists and citizens over the weekend. The two of them, both exceptionally attractive and dressed lavishly, looked like the main characters of a romance drama. Their intimate embrace in such a public place quickly drew a crowd. Mo Weiyi clenched her fists against the mans clothing, What are you doing? Let me go now! Xiao Yebai looked down at her small and pure face, at the slight blush that appeared, his voice deep and charming, Theres a gathering this afternoon at Jinmao, come with me. Mo Weiyi stared blankly, A gathering? Yes. The mans handsome face showed no emotion, A classmate reunion. Im not going! Mo Weiyi refused immediately. A class reunion? With Tian Yes classmates? The only classmate of Xiao Yebai she knew right now was Tian Ye. So who else could it be? And Mo Weiyi didnt want to see her at all! Xiao Yebais tone remained indifferent, My classmates know we are married, they want to meet you. Just because your classmates want to see me, must I go to show them? I am not a chimpanzee! blurted out Mo Weiyi. Xiao Yebai curved his thin lips into a half-smile, half-smirk, Who said you are a chimpanzee? I Mo Weiyi, annoyed, Of course Im not a chimpanzee. Had there ever been a chimpanzee as pretty and cute as her? Absurd! But thats not the point. Im not going! she repeated. Xiao Yebai parted his thin lips, If you dont go, they might think our marital relationship is not good. Today is the weekend, you dont have class, and I dont have work. What he meant was, as a married couple, theres no reason not to attend a gathering together on a weekend. The only possible reason could be: a problematic relationship. Mo Weiyi bit her lip, Hows our relationship is not anyone elses business. Smelling her faint perfume, the mans voice was low and calm, So, are you going or not? Mo Weiyi was caught in a dilemma. If she went, she would definitely see Tian Ye, she was afraid she couldnt control the wild force inside her and would start a fight right there. But if she didnt go, he would be alone with Tian Ye Damn him! He was doing it on purpose. In a fit of anger, she blurted out, If Im not going, youre not allowed to go either. As soon as the words left her mouth, Mo Weiyi realized she had fallen into his trap. Sure enough, he smiled faintly, Why cant I go if youre not going? . Mo Weiyi huffed at him, biting and touching her lips, the blush on her cheeks was almost gone. Weiyi. Xiao Yebai suddenly called her by name. His large fair hands lifted her chin gently, Dont you want me to go? What are you afraid of? Her face was small and perfect, completely spanning his hand, the sunglasses on her cute little nose were quite obstructive. Xiao Yebai quickly removed her sunglasses. Mo Weiyi was completely caught off guard. In the cold wind, she was only wearing a coat and was feeling a bit cold, but she blushed intensely. Being held by Xiao Yebais hands and with his thumb touching her face, his face was all she could see. The two of them were so close, his black eyes deep, and his gaze focused It was unbearably alluring. Finally, she pushed him away forcefully, Fine, lets go! Snatching her sunglasses from his hand and putting them back on, she turned around to look at Rong An, who was gazing distantly in some direction. Rong An! Rong An quickly turned around. Enjoying the view of pretty woman, are you? Come and start the car now! Rong Ans face turned slightly darker. He quickly came over and pressed the remote car key. This time, Mo Weiyi directly got in the passenger seat. Xiao Yebai: . Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: 477, help baby peel shrimp Chapter 477: 477, help baby peel shrimp Chu Jingyi raised her delicate eyebrows, Lets order some light dishes with vegetables. Yes, miss. When the waiter left, Chu Jingyi looked at Su Wanwan and gave a self-deprecating smile. Im getting old and need to focus on my health. I cant compare with you young ladies anymore. Su Wanwan offered her a very professional smile. Heh, who wasnt capable of polite reciprocation? Not long after the order was placed, Chu Jingyis phone rang. She picked it up and answered elegantly, Qin Feng, whats up? That painting was done when I was twenty. You dont remember that? Back then, Stephen and Jone bought the exhibition rights. 5 million, not a cent less. Im having dinner with friends, Ill stop talking for now. Theres no room for negotiation on the price, everything else is up to you. With that, she hung up the phone directly, laughing lazily. This agent is really annoying. Even during a meal, he still wants to discuss the painting with me. Sister, if youre so busy, you should let me handle my matters, Chu Xiuhuang quickly intervened. Chu Jingyi looked at her brother. Then you need to get your eyes wide open. As your sister, I am worried about you, do you think I want to meddle in your affairs? Anyway, I dont need your help anymore. Chu Xiuhuang said, raising an eyebrow towards Shi Huan at his side, Because I have Xiaohuan now. Chu Jingyi: She looked at Shi Huan, her red lips puckering displeasedly. Although she really didnt like this low-tier woman who wasnt presentable, she couldnt say much in front of Chu Xiuhuang. After all, Chu Xiuhuang had been in the hospital for almost a month with an illness. Even though the exact reasons were unknown, the old Chu had already laid it out C to prevent worsening his condition, everyone in the Chu family couldnt upset the young master these days, couldnt visit him at the hospital unnecessarily, and especially couldnt stimulate him with words C especially about women and marriage Moreover, Huo Jingshen was present today. In a short while, the door to the private room was knocked on and the waiter pushed the dining cart in. One after another, beautifully presented dishes were served on the table. Chu Jingyi had just picked up a shrimp with her ceramic chopsticks. Baby, do you want some shrimp? Huo Jingshens voice suddenly rang out. Su Wanwan glanced at him, No, its too much effort. Huo Jingshen raised his good-looking eyebrows, picked up several shrimps and placed them on a plate, and started peeling them. His fingers were long and his knuckles were clear, the way he peeled shrimp was graceful and nimble. He quickly peeled several shrimp tails and placed them on the plate in front of Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan looked at him, unable to hide a sweet smile, her voice was also sweet, Thank you, husband. She picked up a peeled shrimp tail and popped it into her mouth, smiling as she ate. Is it good? Huo Jingshen asked. His voice was deep and gentle. Delicious! Su Wanwan nodded as she ate. So, Huo Jingshen picked up his chopsticks again and continued to peel several more shrimps. Chu Jingyi suddenly felt her fingers loosen their hold on her chopsticks. Was there really a need to show off like this? Couldnt they be a bit more considerate of the feelings of others present? As for Chu Xiuhuang, his slim phoenix eyes narrowed in displeasure. Crap, showing off affections in front of me? He quickly raised his hand, picked up several shrimps and placed them in Shi Huans plate. Cough cough. He was fastidious about cleanliness, otherwise, he would have helped peel them. Who wouldve thought Shi Huan glanced at him, put down her chopsticks and started peeling the shrimps efficiently. When the peeled shrimps were placed back on his plate, Chu Xiuhuang was stunned. Su Wanwan across the table was also stunned. Good lord! This Chu Xiuhuang was too much, wasnt he? He actually let a woman peel shrimp for him! Even if shes your secretary, you cant just order her around like this, can you? He had no gentlemanly manners at all! Seeing Chu Xiuhuang frozen and not eating, Shi Huan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, Mr. Chu, is that not enough? I can peel a few more for you. Having said that, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and continued to peel a few more shrimps. Chu Xiuhuang once again: When Huo Jingshen across the table lifted his eyelids to look over, he quickly picked up a shrimp tail and put it in his mouth. Humph. You help your wife peel shrimp; I have a girlfriend who helps me peel shrimp. Please tell me: who is happier? After finishing, he didnt forget to command, Xiaohuan, help me peel a few more. Okay. Shi Huan didnt stop her movements with her hand. Thus, Su Wanwans impression of Chu Xiuhuang deteriorated even more! He was such a Huang Shiren! Seeing that Shi Huan was going to pick up more shrimps, she suddenly got up, Huanhuan, could you accompany me to the restroom? Sure. ** As soon as they stepped out of the private dining room, Su Wanwan immediately asked her indignantly, Huanhuan, why are you so nice to Mr. Chu? He is my boss. Even if hes your boss he cant just take advantage of you like that, its simply too much! Seeing Su Wanwan advocating for her, Shi Huan couldnt help laughing, Its because hes been giving me 5 times my usual salary recently. Su Wanwan: Five times the salary? Alright, no arguments there. If it were her, she would be willing to do it! Its just peeling a few shrimps after all. People with money sure act like lords. However, she still wasnt used to Chu Xiuhuangs attitude, he was like a spoiled young master whos fed with his mouth wide open. Although Huo Jingshen was sometimes quite indescribable, he never made her do things for him like this. Su Wanwan thought, mhm, her husband was definitely the best! Upon entering the restroom, Su Wanwan asked again, Huanhuan, have you known your boss for a long time? Shi Huan nodded, revealing a number, Over seven years. Weve known each other for more than seven years. Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: 478, one babe per mouthful Chapter 478: 478, one babe per mouthful This long? Su Wanwan was surprised, So, you and my husband must have known each other for many years, right? Not really. Shi Huan opened the room partition, It seems Mr. Huo only returned to the country in May this year. Before that, I heard Chu mentioned that he was working in the UK. It seems he went abroad when he was only in his teens. I see. Su Wanwan nodded and went into another room. Her movements were swift. After using the washroom and pushing open the door, she instantly saw a woman standing in front of the sink outside. It was not that she was intentionally looking. Firstly, Shi Huan hadnt come out yet, and apart from her, there was only this woman in the entire female washroom. Secondly, the woman was standing there with her back to the sink, arms crossed, chin raised. She had a very confident, proud, and critical gaze was staring straight at her. Even as Su Wanwan met her gaze, there was no sign of the womans eyes shifting or avoiding. This woman definitely recognized her! Su Wanwan immediately came to this conclusion. But She was wearing a purple, waist-cinching chiffon dress. The extremely low neckline revealed a large expanse of attractive cleavage. Her curly hair was a light tea color, and the makeup on her face was heavy and dark. The deep coffee-colored eyeshadow made her facial features appear more three-dimensional and profound. She seemed to be of mixed race, and she wasnt young. Judging from her attire and jewelry, she was obviously flamboyantly wealthy. Although her current clothing and makeup leaned towards being coquettish, her demeanor was cold and dominant. She reminded Su Wanwan of the powerful Wall Street women she had seen in American dramas before. Su Wanwan looked her over from head to toe. When she found that the woman was still looking at her, she was about to speak when the woman suddenly turned around and briskly left in her high heels. Uh Just then, Shi Huan also came out. Wanwan, do you know what business Mr. Huo and Chu are discussing today? I dont know. Hearing this, Shi Huan immediately frowned. Su Wanwan, too preoccupied to think about the woman, asked her hurriedly, You dont know either? Shi Huan shook her head. Su Wanwan: Thats weird. Initially, she thought they just wanted to have a meal and catch up. But they also called Chu Jingyi over, yet even Shi Huan didnt know why ** Returning to their private room. As soon as the door was opened, Chu Jingyi immediately said, Ahuang, put out your cigarette. Dont smoke around the young lady. Saying that, she elegantly put out her cigarette. Chu Xiuhuang took a deep puff before reluctantly putting out his cigarette. The window was open, but the strong smell of smoke in the room would not dissipate anytime soon. Su Wanwan sat down next to Huo Jingshen and, as expected, saw another cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him. Hmph! Taking advantage of her and Shi Huan going to the restroom to relieve himself, Huo Jingshen round up smoking like a chimney! Caught being stared at by his own wife, Huo Jingshen coughed twice. All of them had driven here, and besides, it was noon. They couldnt drink, so he could only alleviate his boredom by smoking a cigarette but Didnt I tell you to smoke less? Su Wanwans voice rang out. Huo Jingshen coughed again before taking a sip from his teacup. Ill stop smoking now, Chu Xiuhuang said. As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Huan. Shi Huan was confused by his gaze, Mr. Chu, whats wrong? Nothing, Chu Xiuhuang said with a slight smile. His girlfriend was the best, knowing how to save face for her boyfriend in front of others. Bro, you could learn a thing or two! The food at this Hong Kong-style restaurant was good. The others at the table didnt talk much. Su Wanwan was immersed in the delicious food until she was full and finally put down her chopsticks. Sweetheart, are you full? Huo Jingshen immediately asked. Su Wanwan: She looked up, only to find that everyone at the table had put down their chopsticks. It seemed like they all were waiting for her to finish eating Awkward. She was about to speak when- Thud Chu Xiuhuang put down his teacup abruptly, Jesus, bro, cant you take it easy? Cant you stop calling her sweetheart? The food I just ate is going to come up because of your sickeningly sweet voice. Huo Jingshen glanced at him, Jealous? Hmpf! Chu Xiuhuang resounded disdainfully. Huo Jingshen chuckled, If youre jealous, recover soon and get out there to find yourself a mate. Shi Huan nearly burst into laughter. Do I, Chu Xiuhuang, need to go on a blind date? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened. No need. After all, no one would take you, Huo Jingshen teased. Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, suddenly turning toward Shi Huan, Little Huanhuan, come on, tell Mr. Huo if I have women chasing after me. Su Wanwan twitched her mouth, Huo Jingshen was watching eagerly, Chu Jingyi frowned while Shi Huan She glanced at the time, Mr. Chu, its getting late. Your break is over. Would you like to leave earlier? Chu Xiuhuang leaned against his cheek with his tongue, looking both charming and enchanting, Whats the rush? Big brother still has something to say. Shi Huan looked at Huo Jingshen. The man was narrowing his eyes, his expression suddenly became serious, making the atmosphere on the table seemed suddenly solemn. Then- Jingyi. Hearing her name, Chu Jingyi paused, Whats up? Huo Jingshen said, The reason I asked you here today is because there is something I need you to clarify. What is it? Chu Jingyi used a wet wipe to clean her fingers. His serious attitude made her increasingly uneasy. With a gesture from Huo Jingshen, Chu Xiuhuang bent down and brought out a bag from beside his foot. Then he took out a dark blue scarf from the bag. The expressions of the three women present subtly changed for a moment upon seeing it. Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: 479, still young, likes to get jealous without reason. Chapter 479: 479, still young, likes to get jealous without reason. First, it was Shi Huan. She still remembered clearly what Huo Jingshen said in the hospital room that night. So, was this lunch today intended as a feast at the Hongmen? Next was Su Wanwan. In fact, as early as that night when Huo Jingshen finished explaining and then made consecutive phone calls to Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan for confirmation, she had already believed that what he said was the truth. Unexpectedly, he had even specially invited Chu Jingyi over today to explain. She looked at Chu Jingyi, and sure enough, the latter looked terrible. Jingyi, do you recognize this scarf? Huo Jingshens voice was low and cold. Chu Jingyi slowly turned up her red lips, and casually said, I recognize it, whats the matter? Is there a problem? This scarf was bought by you. Chu Jingyi raised her eyebrow, not denying it, I bought it for Ahuang. Huo Jingshen looked at Su Wanwan, Are you satisfied with this explanation? Su Wanwan felt awkward and could only say, Yes, I am satisfied. Pfft! Chu Xiuhuang let out a muffled laugh. Su Wanwan felt even more awkward and couldnt help lowering her head. Damn, she felt like she was fast becoming the very icon of jealousy. Chu Jingyi just watched as Su Wanwan pretended to be shy. Her fingers unconsciously squeezed tighter and tighter. The wet tissues in her hand were squashed, wetting her fingers and dampening the white tablecloth on the table. The spots on the tablecloth made it look really untidy. She thought that was the end, but who knew Jingyi, my baby is still young and likes to be jealous. She saw me wearing this scarf and thought it was from you, so she misunderstood you. As Huo Jingshen spoke, he raised his hand and gently stroked Su Wanwans head, You, as her older sister, must never bear a grudge against her because of this. Huo Jingshen put this tall hat on her, and Chu Jingyi could only accept it. She forced a smile, Its okay, I wont be petty with a little girl. Little girl? Su Wanwan suddenly raised her head. Damn. Why did those three words sound so annoying? Under Huo Jingshens suggestive gaze, she readily agreed, My husband is right, hes now married, a man with a wife, and any woman with a bit of foresight would avoid suspicion and not give him such intimate gifts. An older sister like Miss Chu, who is mature and stable, would never deliberately create misunderstandings. Its all my fault, I wrongly blamed my older sister. The pupils of Chu Jingyis eyes contracted suddenly. This girl, she kept calling her mature and older sister, clearly mocking her for being old! She clenched her fingers, and the smile at the corner of her mouth couldnt hold up any more in its stiffness. Sis. The voice of Chu Xiuhuang followed closely, Apart from Little Huanhuan, I dont like other women preparing my personal clothing for me, whether it is you or my mother. Please dont buy these things for me in the future. You can take this scarf back. After saying that, he put the scarf back in the bag and then passed it over. So, Chu Jingyis face turned even worse. This younger brother of hers, was he now helping to slap her face in front of outsiders? Shi Huan didnt say anything. She was already used to Chu Xiuhuangs occasional weird behaviour. This man had always been very elusive. When hes in a good mood, everything seemed negotiable, but when he gets arrogant, he wouldnt care about anyone. Even if that person was his own family. An awkward atmosphere condensed in the private room. Finally, Chu Jingyi put down the wet tissues in her hand, gracefully got up to take the bag, Is everything done? I have something to attend to, so Ill leave first. Huo Jingshen nodded slightly. Chu Jingyi took a deep breath, took her coat, and left with elegance. Once she left the private room, she quickened her steps. Her high heels stepped on the thick carpet, briskly marched along the corridor until she reached a corner, and saw the trash can in front. She walked straight over and shoved the bag inside. Her body trembled slightly, and after a while, she lowered her head to look for her car keys. Miss Chu. A familiar female voice suddenly sounded. It was still a very fluent and authentic English accent. Chu Jingyi looked up, and when she saw the woman standing in front of her, surprise filled her eyes, How could you be here? She turned around rapidly and asked, Are you here looking for Jingshen? The woman crossed her arms, her red lipsticked lips curving up slightly, No, I am here to look for you. Look for me? Yes. The woman narrowed her beautiful blue eyes, I want to know everything about Jasons wife, can you tell me? Jason, also known as Huo Jingshens English name. Chu Jingyi looked at her. After a while, she nodded with a smile, Lets find a place to talk in detail. OK. ** A private room. Not long after Chu Jingyi left, the waiter came in to settle the bill. Chu Xiuhuang looked at the time, it was only a little past one in the afternoon. Big brother, whats the plan? Huo Jingshen stood up right away, Im taking Baby back to school. Youre kidding, right? Its the weekend, instead of spending time with your wife at home, youre sending her back to school? Chu Xiuhuang looked suggestive, clearly mocking him for being married but not able to enjoy the benefits. Safety first. Huo Jingshen looked at him indifferently, What would a single dog like you know about marriage? Chu Xiuhuang: Damn a critical hit! He immediately turned to look at Shi Huan, Little Huanhuan, arent you going to clarify things for me? Shi Huan blinked, What? Chu Xiuhuang again: This, how can she be so slow? On the other hand, Su Wanwan totally missed what they were talking about. She quickly put on her clothes, tied her scarf, took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Mo Weiyi. [Ive finished eating, Ill be back at school soon, you can go to the reading room first and reserve two seats.] Who knew Mo Weiyi replied instantly, [Baby Wanwan, Im at the club getting my hair done, I have a party tonight.] Su Wanwans brows immediately furrowed, [What kind of party?] [A gathering of my husbands classmates.] Su Wanwan: Damn! Because this girl kept requesting someone to accompany her, she kindly thought about rushing back to school to accompany her after dinner. But this girl, she was even getting her hair done? Going to a party with Xiao Yebai? Didnt they agree on a cold war? It really was, friends dont matter when theres a boyfriend around! Chapter 480 - Chapter 480: 480, is Xiaobai a driver? bodyguard? servant? Chapter 480: 480, is Xiaobai a driver? bodyguard? servant? At five in the afternoon, Mo Weiyi finally finished her styling session. She was somewhat tired, but looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, Mo Weiyi curled her red lips and expressed her satisfaction. Miss Mo, you are ready. Lili announced. As soon as Lili finished speaking, Mo Weiyi saw in the mirror that the man who had been sitting on the sofa had already stood up. She was a little surprised. She had assumed he wouldve left due to boredom multiple times, but surprisingly, he managed to endure the four to five hours, despite taking several smoke breaks in between. Changing her mind suddenly, Mo Weiyi said, Lili, help me pick out a set of jewelry. Of course, Miss Mo. Xiao Yebai: Subsequently, it took another half hour to pick out the jewelry. After finally leaving the clubhouse, they arrived at the parking lot where Xiao Yebai pressed the remote key. Mo Weiyi immediately asked him, Where is Rong An? He had a stomachache and went home, Xiao Yebai replied, his expression unchanged. A stomachache? Mo Weiyi looked at him, Really? A stomachache? Should I give him a call to check? Xiao Yebais expression remained unchanged. When Mo Weiyi reached out to pull open the backdoor of the car, it was suddenly pushed back by a mans large hand. What are you doing? Mo Weiyi glared at him. Xiao Yebai said, Sit up front. I want to sit in the back. Mo Weiyi defied him deliberately. Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes and looking down at her, his tone mocking, Do you take me for your chauffeur? Or your bodyguard? A servant? No, I dont! Mo Weiyi reflexively argued. Then sit up front. Xiao Yebai was succinct. Having said that, he walked around the front of the car and got in. Mo Weiyi hesitated a moment before finally opening the passenger side door. Once she got in the car, she dialed Rong Ans number. He picked up quickly. Rong An, why did you go home? Rong An responded stiffly, Princess, I had some issues. What issues? Mo Weiyi deliberately inquired, He said you had a stomachache, is that true? Yes, princess. Mo Weiyi: Haha. Truly impressive. After hanging up the phone, she turned to look out the window. The lights were beginning to come on, a bitter cold wind blew, pedestrians on the side of the road tightened their clothing, looking bleak and desolate. The car remained quiet the entire way, other than when Xiao Yebai answered a call. It was perhaps a classmate who had called. Xiao Yebai only uttered two words, On the way. He ended the call and drove the car into the underground parking garage of Jinmao Building. ** Meanwhile, in a private dining room on the 20th floor of the Jinmao Building. Tian Ye hadnt expected that Ye Bei would bring his new girlfriend, a university student who was still in school. Nineteen years old, very young, pretty good looking, wearing a princess puff gown like a cosplay character, with exaggerated false eyelashes like the SD dolls in video games. Tian Ye wasnt used to this kind of taste. However, Ye Bei was very fond of her. After the two of them entered the room, they were engrossed in playing games, which was quite an eyesore. Oh my, youre so bad! I just protected you and yet you sold me out? The girls voice was sweet and coy. Ye Bei laughed, Im an Archer, I cant die. If I die, we lose our damage output. How will you thank me for saving your life just now? Ye Bei immediately lowered his head, Thank you, my dear little milk momma, resurrect quickly, I need your healing. The girl giggled uncontrollably, Youre so naughty! Tian Yes eyelids twitched, unable to understand what they were talking about. Who wouldve thought that being in love could alter a mans tastes so dramatically? Hes actually able to play this kind of mobile game with a girl not even twenty years old, and so passionately at that. How had she been in a relationship with him for so many years? Yo, theyre here. A slightly frivolous male voice quipped. Tian Ye snapped out of her reverie, Zhan Yao. Looking behind him, her eyebrows knitted, Wheres Yebai? Zhan Yao winked, He said hes on the way. Upon hearing this, Tian Ye instantly laughed. Zhan Yao took a seat beside her, looking at the couple across from them, Its just the two of us who are still alone. Should we settle for each other? Tian Ye picked up her beer with an unwilling air and took a sip. Tsk tsk, isnt that something? Am I really that unattractive? Zhan Yao wore an expression of being struck. In the police department, he had always been the heartthrob. His photo, sneakily taken by a young girl and posted online, even gained him the title of the most handsome detective. Stop fooling around. Tian Ye lifted her drink, I dont want to talk about romantic matters right now. Zhan Yao lifted his bottle of beer laughingly and clinked glasses with her. She hadnt expected that Ye Bei would bring his new girlfriend to a gathering like this. When they were studying in America, Ye Bei and Tian Ye were the only Chinese couple in the whole research institute. They both were attractive and academically outstanding, seemingly the perfect match. Who knew it would come to this? While the couple across played Honour of Kings, the two of them talked sporadically. Finally, the door of the private room was knocked twice and then pushed open from the outside. A tall and aloof man stood at the doorway, ever so indifferent and refined, with a handsome outline. Tian Yes eyes brightened. She stood up, getting ready to walk over. But Xiao Yebai moved aside. When she spotted the figure clad in white next to him, Tian Ye was frozen in shock. Mo Weiyi? Why had she come as well? Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: 481, the Little Princess makes an impressive entrance, stunning everyone. Chapter 481: 481, the Little Princess makes an impressive entrance, stunning everyone. She was draped in a thick white woolen coat, sporting a knitted black and white checkered beret. Her seaweed-like curls hung heavily at her waist, and there was a delicate vintage round bag hanging from her wrist that matched perfectly with the vintage sunglasses on her face. Her lips were red, her figure was tall and delicate, and her earrings and necklace glowed. Even her nails were meticulously painted. From head to toe, she was exquisite, sophisticated, and beautiful. She was like a shining light, attracting everyones attention instantly. Even the two individuals submerged in their game were wowed by her charm, phone in hand, eyes locked on Mo Weiyi. The room fell silent, broken only by the occasional in-game sounds. Double, kill! Triple, kill! Quadra, kill! Aced! Defeat! Zhan Yao couldnt help but think that the timing of these announcements was quite appropriate. Hadnt everyone in the room already been killed by the Little Princesss beauty and aura? Mo Weiyi strolled in with grace, took off her sunglasses with her slender, fair fingers, revealing a pair of beautiful and delicate eyes. Smiling sweetly and flirtatiously, she greeted, Hello, everyone. The room fell silent once again. After all, they were still in awe of her presence. Mo Weiyi glanced at Xiao Yebai with a hint of dissatisfaction. It seemed as if her eyes were asking, do your classmates not welcome me? Damn! Zhan Yao was the first to regain his composure. He walked over to Xiao Yebai and punched him in the arm, Damn, damn it, damn your grandpa! Xiao Yebai: You actually brought your royal princess here? Good for you! You keep a low profile until you suddenly shock everyone. Why didnt you give me a heads up so I could brace myself for the high energy coming my way? Upon finishing, Zhan Yao punched him in the shoulder again. Zhan Yao was the one who arranged this gathering, but Xiao Yebai never partakes in such social events, even during his time at the American Institute he was always a lone wolf, rarely joining such gatherings among the Chinese community. So, when he called that night to invite Xiao Yebai, he was expecting a refusal. However, to his surprise, Xiao Yebai sent him a WeChat message in the afternoon saying he would attend, but only if they rescheduled for the evening. Zhan Yao was taken aback and immediately informed Tian Ye who changed the venue to this private room without hesitation. Good grief. They had all thought that Xiao Yebai had suddenly changed and become more social. Little did they know it was all for the Little Princess. It seemed that Tian Ye was willing to fall, but the water was heartless. I remember you, Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke. She looked at Zhan Yao while tilting her head slightly as if mentally scouring her memory, Have we met somewhere before? Zhan Yao immediately nodded, Your Highness, you have an excellent memory to be able to remember me. Its my good fortune, thank you for your kindness. Being complimented on her memory, Mo Weiyi beamed even brighter, I knew it. I never forget a good-looking face. I knew you looked familiar. Being praised for his good looks, Zhan Yao couldnt contain his jubilation, Haha, my name is Zhan Yao, I am your husbands big Xiao Yebai shot him a cold look, and Zhan Yao quickly corrected himself, Err, I am your husbands best friend. Mo Weiyi glanced at Xiao Yebai, and continued smiling sweetly, Nice to meet you, I am Mo Weiyi. After saying this, she took off her hat, removed her coat, and sat down on the couch inside. Then she gestured to everyone else, Please sit, dont be shy. Everyone: Unquestionably, the Princess had a way of commanding any space she entered. She effortlessly took the spotlight, making them feel as though they were the ones being hosted. Tian Yes face was visibly rigid, while the young girl looked on with evident admiration. Only Ye Bei was unable to hide his astonishment and curiosity. Zhan Yao was the only one who quickly clapped his hands together and whispered, Dammit, you lucky bastard. Although the Little Princess of the Mo family was only 20 years old, she was indeed very beautiful! Her beauty radiated with confidence and brilliance! It wasnt the typical elegant, gentle beauty of an urban white-collar woman like Tian Ye, nor the shallow, chirpy charm of Ye Beis girlfriend. Mo Weiyis appeal stemmed more from her inherent arrogance and nobility. Her aura was immense, and coupled with her background, she could easily make any woman feel inferior. No wonder they say women should be raised in wealth. After all, refinement isnt something that can be cultivated in just a few years. The magazines and newspapers had previously labeled Mo Weiyi as a real lady of luxury. Zhan Yao thought this description was quite accurate. The last time they met was at Lishui Bay Villa, when Mo Weiyi was just shocked, dressed up very domestic, with no makeup on. She looked like a gorgeous lady who needed protection. But today she is meticulously dressed up, magnificent and thoughtful, with a hairdo and jewelry. Not to mention how she overwhelms the other women here, she wouldnt lose even if she was on the red carpet with female stars. Zhan Yao couldnt stop smacking his lips, feeling that Xiao Yebai, that bastard, had gotten a huge bargain. Yebai, wont you introduce us? Ye Beis voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Yebai sat down next to Mo Weiyi, flicked his eyelids, his voice cold and indifferent, Is there a need for introduction? Ye Bei laughed, Of course, I have only seen news of your marriage on TV and in newspapers before, today is my first meeting with Miss Mo. Hearing this, Xiao Yebais slender frame sat down next to Mo Weiyi, showing no reaction. Ye Bei simply got up, extended his right hand, Little Princess of Mo Family, nice to meet you. Mo Weiyi looked at the hand in front of her. Actually, she had always disliked any physical contact with strangers, but this was a classmate from Xiao Yebais institute and there were only a handful of people who came today, so their relationships must all be pretty good. Moreover, since she decided to attend the gathering, Mo Weiyi didnt want outsiders to know that she and Xiao Yebai were having a cold war. Especially didnt want Tian Ye to know. So Mo Weiyi raised a sweet smile and also lifted her right hand. Who knew that just when their hands were about to touch, another mans hand suddenly appeared in her sight. His hand was clearly defined, slender and pale, and it swiftly and forcefully held her hand. Ye Bei froze. Mo Weiyi also froze. Xiao Yebai looked down at her small hand and asked in an indifferent tone, How come you didnt wear your ring? Mo Weiyi blankly raised her left hand and waved it twice in front of him. The marriage ring lay quietly on her left ring finger. As she waved her hand, it shone brilliantly under the light. Xiao Yebai took a look and slowly released his fingers. By this time, Ye Bei had long since pulled his hand back. Mo Weiyi touched her slightly painful hand that he had grabbed and felt a bit baffled. Except for bathing, she never takes off this marriage ring. And given the tradition of men on the left and women on the right, she was more comfortable wearing the ring on her left hand. He really was an insensitive man, not even knowing her ring-wearing habit she thought to herself with some mockery. Since everyone is here, shall we order some food? I ordered some just now, not sure what you guys like. Tian Ye said, handing over the menu. Mo Weiyi smiled and took it. Just as she was about to order, she suddenly pushed the menu in front of Xiao Yebai, Honey, you order for me. This word honey was spoken extremely naturally. Moreover, her voice was soft and sweet. The affectionate and adorable way she said honey was particularly pleasing to the ear. Zhan Yao couldnt help but glance at Xiao Yebai again. Damn it! No wonder this bastard would only work overtime, socialize or stay at home every day. With such a beautiful and adorable wife, who would want to go out and have fun every day? The man wearing glasses picked up the menu and gave her a casual glance. Mo Weiyi propped her cheeks with both hands. Her cat-like eyes gleaming, she looked at him trustingly, Just order my favourite dishes. Xiao Yebai: He did not say anything, opened the menu, and started ordering dishes. Mo Weiyis smile didnt change at all, but inside she couldnt help but curse. As expected, she couldnt rely on him! None of the dishes he ordered were her favourites! He ordered five dishes and only got one right! It must have been a fluke. However After Xiao Yebai finished ordering, the smile on Mo Weiyis face became sweeter, Honey, you ordered all my favourite dishes, especially the broccoli, great job! I reward you! With that, she lifted her chin and moved her face closer to him. Chapter 482 - Chapter 482: 482, you’re competing with me for a man? Chapter 482: 482, youre competing with me for a man? Realising what he was about to do, Mo Weiyis heart started to race suddenly. Although in such matters, Xiao Yebai was always dominant, almost to the point of rudeness. However, in public, he maintained an image of a well-cultured, rational, and calm Director Xiao. She always shamelessly leaned on him, but he would never engage in public displays of affectionlet alone Could it be that he wanted to kiss her now? Her eyelashes trembled slightly, Mo Weiyi was so nervous that she almost held her breath. Naturally, her eyes landed on his thin lips. However After a moment of waiting, she realized that he had not made any further moves. Mo Weiyis feelings gradually cooled down. She looked into the pair of peachy eyes behind the glasses; they were black, beautiful, unfathomably deep, resembling two deep oceans. They were so impenetrable that you couldnt decipher any emotions from them. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, unsure whether she was feeling disappointed or something else. As she straightened up, her clenched fists rose between them, just when she was about to forcefully push him away, he suddenly lowered his head. Mo Weiyis eyes widened in surprise. Xiao Yebais actions were brazen. Everyone at the scene, no matter the angle, clearly saw the reality of it. Everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding before them. The quiet private room felt like a silent romantic drama was playing out. The lead actor in the silent play was handsome and apathetic, holding the gorgeous and proud leading lady. Her eyes were closed, cheeks were flushed, and it seemed like she had completely submitted to the mans arms. The research institution in America was one of the worlds top institutions, with numerous Chinese students, most of whom were exceptional talents from various countries. So, when Xiao Yebai first entered the school, he was low-profile and always independent. Despite his good looks, he initially went unnoticed. Until the first annual exam, when he, as a Chinese student, took the first place, leading by a significant margin from the second place. After that, his fame surged, which attracted the attention of many female students who wanted to pursue him. However, he was like an emotionless being. Regardless of how beautiful, sexy, or passionate the women were, from different countries, with varied family backgrounds, all shapes, sizes, styles, no one could catch his eye. Because of their close association, Zhan Yao was several times asked if Xiao Yebai was gay. Otherwise, why would he be so apathetic? Now, seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman kissing, it was as if ten thousand what the hell? raced through his mind. Gay? Apathetic? Isnt this situation quite passionate? Perhaps some men just show their passion to the women they genuinely care about. With a clink, Tian Ye dropped his bottle of beer onto the table. He didnt know if it slipped or he did it intentionally, but the sound was rather loud. The quiet room seemed to be awakened, everyone promptly returned to their senses, averting their eyes. Mo Weiyi also seemed to wake up from a trance. She opened her eyes and found herself completely in the mans arms, with Xiao Yebai kissing her. It was only when their eyes met that she realized; he didnt close his eyes. Mo Weiyi suddenly recalled a saying. When a man kisses a woman with his eyes opened, it means hes not invested in the kiss. But she felt dazed during their kiss, lost her senses She couldnt help but feel angry, vigorously pushing him away. This time, Xiao Yebai didnt resist, pulling away quickly. Cough. Zhan Yaos voice echoed in the room, Yebai, your lips are covered with lipstick. Pfft! Ye Bei also let out a laugh. Xiao Yebai sat there, his beautiful features still intact, with not a trace of awkwardness or embarrassment. It was as if the man who passionately kissed her in front of everyone wasnt him. Mo Weiyi was furious, but she still took out a tissue and wiped his thin, handsome lips. Meanwhile, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eyes. She saw Tian Yes gaze. Facing Mo Weiyis almost imperceptible taunt, Tian Ye finally couldnt sit still. He elegantly stood up and said, Im going to the restroom. As soon as she approached the door, Zhan Yao suddenly shouted, Doesnt this room have a restroom? Tian Yes silhouette stiffened for a moment, then casually remarked, Im going to get the waiter for more drinks. Zhan Yao laughed, Then Ill go with you. Having said that, he rose and followed her out. Mo Weiyi took her eyes back and sweetly continued to wipe the mans lips. Trying to steal my man? Hmm. Ill make your life miserable! * * In the corridor, Zhan Yao caught up with her, So, are you upset? Tian Ye gave him a cold glance, I dont know what youre talking about? Haha, youre so smart, how could you not know what Im saying? Zhan Yao took out a lighter and a cigarette, lighting a stick for himself while walking. Tian Ye didnt say anything, just kept walking, until she came to the public womens restroom. She stopped and looked at Zhan Yao, Are you going to follow me in there too? Zhan Yao took a puff of his thin cigarette, looked at her with scrutiny on his fair handsome face, Tian Ye, dont blame me for not warning you. Youve seen the relationship between Yebai and the Little Princess just now. Do you think theres still a chance for you? Are you done? Tian Ye coldly looked at him. Unmoved, Zhan Yao continued, Forget about them having feelings for each other, even if they dont, do you think that Yebai, with his special status, would abandon the Little Princess to be with you? Fear finally flickered across Tian Yes beautiful face. Then, she suddenly responded, Its precisely because of his special status that theres no love between them. Yebai doesnt even like her. He was forced to marry her by the Mo Family. Zhan Yao chuckled lightly, After almost seven years of acquaintance, Tian Ye, I never expected that you are so good at deceiving yourself. He fiercely sucked the last bit of the cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and ground it with his leather shoe, Given that guys personality, do you think he would agree to marry her if he wasnt truly in love with her? Furthermore. Zhan Yao raised an eyebrow suggestively, Whether its beauty, power, or status, do you think you can offer him more than the Little Princess? Having said that, he left without waiting for her reply. Tian Ye stood there for a while, her fingernails digging deeply into her palm, almost breaking the skin. * * By the time Zhan Yao returned to the private room, the waiter had already served the food. Mo Weiyi ate a few bites of broccoli, half a plate of pasta, then put down her cutlery. Little Princess, can you drink? Zhan Yao shook a bottle of beer at her. Sure. Mo Weiyi picked up a new bottle of beer, clinked it against his, and brought it to her lips. She thought Xiao Yebai would stop her, after all, every time she wanted to drink, he usually found some excuse to stop her? But now, he was drinking his beer as if he hadnt even noticed her actions. Feeling slighted, Mo Weiyi picked up her bottle and chugged down the beer. Zhan Yao across from her was almost dumbstruck. Good heavens, a real tough lady! Until Mo Weiyi Cough cough cough! Zhan Yao quickly interjected, Thats enough, youve made your point. Mo Weiyi: Awkward! She felt so embarrassed. The truth was that she really couldnt hold her liquor very well. As she put down the bottle, Ye Bei leaned over, Miss Mo, let me toast you. Mo Weiyi gave him a sweet smile, Sure. She lightly touched his bottle with hers and quickly finished off the rest of the half bottle of beer. Ye Beis eyes were filled with undisguised amazement and admiration, Miss Mo, I didnt expect you to hold your liquor so well, and moreover, youre even more beautiful than you are in the photos in the newspapers and magazines. Mo Weiyi looked at him, her cheeks flushed, Are you saying Im not photogenic? Ye Bei was startled, hastily denying, No, no, you are very beautiful in the photos, but in reality, youre even more approachable. Approachable? What kind of adjective is that? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her delicate brows, Are you saying Im ordinary looking, and couldnt think of a good adjective to compliment me, so you used the word approachable? Ye Bei was left speechless, stuttering on his words. Enough, enough. Zhan Yao impatiently pushed him aside, Just go take care of your own girlfriend, if you dont know how to compliment, then dont. His girlfriend was already puffing her cheeks up angrily. Ever since this Mo Weiyi arrived, Ye Bei had been hell-bent on gravitating towards her, even after embarrassing himself he still wouldnt come back to be with her. Chapter 483 - Chapter 483: 483, you are in charge of sending me. Chapter 483: 483, you are in charge of sending me. Zhan Yao lifted his bottle again, Little Princess, lets continue. He was full of wit and knew quite a lot, and he could discuss a variety of topics effortlessly. Mo Weiyi was soon drawn into his charm and spent much of the time laughing heartily. It wasnt long before Tian Ye returned. Behind him, two waiters followed, bearing several bottles of whiskey and brandy. Tian Ye had regained her composure and was even taking the initiative to pour the drinks. Miss Mo, can you drink whiskey? Mo Weiyi raised her chin, Of course. At this point, even if you cant drink, youd have to say you can. With a smile, Tian Ye placed the full glass in front of her, picked up her glass, and clinked it with Mos. Just as Mo Weiyi took a sip, she heard Zhan Yao speaking to Tian Ye, Tian Ye, dont drink too much. If you get drunk, theres nobody to take you home. Tian Ye looked at him and scoffed lightly, Youre the only single dog here. If I get drunk, youre responsible for taking me home. Zhan Yao replied, I have to go back and work at the station later. Arent you the departments top detective now? Do you still need to work shifts? Mo Weiyi looked at Zhan Yao, mouth agape, blurting out, I just remembered, youre a cop, right? Zhan Yao broke into an immediate smile, The last time I saved you as a cop, dont you remember, Little Princess? Yeah, yeah. Mo Weiyi nodded, I remember, you visited my villa that day. Not at all. Zhan Yao, increasingly lively from the drink, had no clue something was amiss, Im talking about the day before that. Id just got home when this stinker called me, telling me to trace your call within five minutes or hed cut me off. Such a heartless jerk! Ive never seen him this nervous. He even had me investigate that scumbags phone and fell out with all his Suddenly, everything went dark, and an intense pain shot through his mouth. Before he could react, a beer bottle was forcibly stuffed into his mouth. Mo Weiyi was stunned. So was everyone else, taken aback by the sight of Zhan Yaos mouth bursting with the beer bottle. Rushing to pull the beer bottle from his mouth, Zhan Yao licked his teeth and his lips, spat out a few times, hurled the barrel back onto the table with a clatter, and glared angrily at someone, Fuck, are you out of your mind? You almost knocked out my teeth! It hurts like hell! Compared to his jumping and swearing, Xiao Yebais response was as always, indifferent, You talk too much. Zhan Yao: Are you okay? Mo Weiyi asked in concern. The sight just now was really too brutal. A beer bottle was jammed directly into his mouth, the front half was gone, almost reaching his throat! It hurt just to look at it. Was Xiao Yebai this brutal in front of his classmates? Mo Weiyi suddenly felt like she didnt know him enough Zhan Yao was grimacing in discomfort, but managed an awkward yet polite smile, Im fine. Really? Mo Weiyi still looked concerned, Doesnt it hurt? Zhan Yao: How could it possibly not hurt? Its killing me! But he had to endure it. Who can blame him for speaking out of turn, saying things he shouldnt Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebai, standing up for Zhan Yao, Why would you do that? You couldve killed him. Xiao Yebais expression remained unchanged, Hes used to it. Used to it? Mo Weiyi blinked her bright cat-like eyes, as if she had realized something. Uh. Zhan Yao might be a cop, but he looked tender and white-skinned, like a submissive young man from a bl novel. Could it be Did he often play SM with other men in private? Mo Weiyi immediately picked up her glass and gulped down several mouthfuls. She felt quite awkward looking directly at the cop now. Zhan Yao had no idea he was wrongly assumed to be a homosexual by Mo Weiyi. He was massaging his cheek, feeling that he might have befriended the wrong person. Damn, my cheeks hurt like hell, I cant eat anymore. Lucky I ate some earlier. Zhan Yao grumbled to himself, feeling that Xiao Yebai was retaliating against him on purpose. But it was also strange. This Little Princess was so lively, how could she tolerate Xiao Yebais reticent personality? Weve been sitting here for so long, and this jerk hardly spoke more than three sentences. Tut tut, poor Little Princess. Then he took out his phone, Little Princess, shall we add each other on WeChat? So you can talk to me when you have no one else to chat with. Mo Weiyi immediately took out her phone, Sure. Xiao Yebais fingers tightened at his side, then slowly loosened. Ye Bei watched as the two exchanged WeChat contact info, phone in hand. He wanted to intervene but his arm was pulled back by his girlfriend. Beibei, I need to go to the bathroom. Come with me. Ye Bei was impatient, The bathroom is right in this room, why do I need to accompany you? No, I want you to come with me. As she finished speaking, the girl dragged Ye Bei along and they disappeared into the bathroom inside the room. Once they went in, they did not come out. The other people in the room turned a blind eye, understanding the situation. As time passed, Tian Yes expression became progressively gloomier. Everyone present knew that Ye Bei was her ex-boyfriend, yet he had vanished into the bathroom with his new girlfriend and hadnt emerged. To make things worse, someone just had to point it out. Isnt that little bastard, Ye Bei, driven by lust? Its been so long, and hes still not out! Zhan Yao laughed slyly. Ye Bei? Mo Weiyi immediately looked at Tian Ye, Miss Tian, isnt Ye Bei your ex-boyfriend? Thats the name she mentioned last time, right? Tian Ye: She picked up her wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Mo Weiyi held back laughter, raised her own wine glass, Miss Tian, I didnt expect you to be so magnanimous. Heres to you. Tian Ye once again: Mo Weiyi admiringly said with a chuckle. She was willing to endure such flagrant humiliation from her ex-boyfriend, just for the chance to meet with Xiao Yebai. In the bathroom, things were heating up. Outside, different thoughts were brewing amongst the crowd. Xiao Yebai, a man of few words to begin with, became quieter. Tian Ye was not in a good mood, also remained silent. The only ones left chatting and drinking were Mo Weiyi and Zhan Yao. All of a sudden, the shrill ring of a mobile phone broke the silence. Tian Ye retrieved her phone, glanced at the calling ID and quickly picked up, Mom, whats wrong? I got it, Im heading there now. After hanging up, Tian Ye stood up, Im sorry, I need to make a trip to the hospital. Please continue eating, the bill is settled. Zhan Yao asked, Is everything okay? Tian Ye looked at Xiao Yebai, My mother is still in the hospital. Shes not feeling well, I need to go see her. You better go now. Be careful on the road. Tian Ye nodded, grabbing her stuff and leaving. After she left, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt bored. And it felt like she had consumed too much alcohol. She could feel her face burning and a slight dizziness. Looking at her wristwatch It was already past eight in the evening. As if realizing something, Mo Weiyi quickly said, I need to go home. She got up. But all of a sudden, the world spun and she toppled over. Watch out! Zhan Yao shouted. Her falling arm was caught mid-air by a mans firm grip. Xiao Yebai looked down at her flushed face, his voice deep, Going home? Mo Weiyi just nodded, quickly lifting a hand to her forehead. No more nodding, it made her feel even dizzier. Xiao Yebai glanced at Zhan Yao. He immediately got up and fetched all of her belongings. Xiao Yebai put her coat on her, helped her put on her hat, slung her bag on her, and stuffed her sunglasses in his pocket. He then supported her towards the exit. Do we need a designated driver? Zhan Yao kindly asked. No need. Xiao Yebai didnt turn around. ** Once they were out in the corridor, Mo Weiyis dizziness worsened. This isnt good, she was really drunk. She was partly conscious, but she had no control over her own body. She practically collapsed into the mans arms, even hearing the steady beat of his heart. She let him half carry, half lead her into the elevator. They weaved in and out, until a sudden gust of cold wind hit, causing her to snap awake. They were both outside. With her newfound strength, she pushed against him. Mmm Let me go! Xiao Yebai halted. He lowered his head, his fingers with evident knuckles gently lifted her small pointed chin, raising her face to meet his. Mo Weiyis face was burning fiercely. She hadnt reacted at all when she was drinking earlier. However, the aftereffects of the alcohol were strong, and she had drunk ruthlessly. Being wobbled around by him on their way out only exacerbated her drunkenness, with symptoms of her intoxication showing through. Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: 484, phone recording, does Weiyi love Xiaobai or not? Chapter 484: 484, phone recording, does Weiyi love Xiaobai or not? The two of them stood on the roadside on the first floor of a shopping mall, the bizarre and dazzling lights from the large screen projected straight onto her face. She narrowed her cat-like eyes, a vague expression on her face, emitting small animal-like noises from her mouth, obviously drunk already. Xiao Yebais eyes were sharp as a hawks and focused on her face. His voice was deep and enchanting, Who do you want to let you go? Mo Weiyi almost reflexively responded, Xiaobai, let go. Familiar with this name, the man pulled back the corner of his thin lips, No. * * Lishui Bay Villa. Aunt Zhou heard the sound and hurriedly came out of the door, only to see Xiao Yebai carrying Mo Weiyi into the house. Master Xiao, the princess, she Drank too much. Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, Ill help the princess make some hangover tea. Okay. Xiao Yebai went upstairs carrying Mo Weiyi. ** Upstairs bedroom. Xiao Yebai placed Mo Weiyi on the bed. He removed her hat and shed her bag and coat. Mo Weiyi lay there, after a while, she turned around and her lush and curly hair completely covered her face. Xiao Yebai sat at the edge of the bed and brushed her hair away from her face using his hand. Hmm Mo Weiyi brushed away his hand in frustration and rolled over, her back facing him. Just as she turned over, the man swiftly turned her back to him. Mo Weiyi frowned, made a couple of whimpering sounds, shook her head and continued to sleep with her eyes closed. The man sat beside the bed, quietly inspecting the delicate features of the young woman. The room was tranquility personified, until a few knocks were heard on the door. Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai got up, his handsome face held a look of indifferent nobility, Place it on the tea table. Aunt Zhou was carrying a tray with a white jade teapot and cup. After placing everything down, she couldnt help but speak, looking at Mo Weiyis uncomfortable expression, Master Xiao, do you need me to No need. Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the mans cold voice. Aunt Zhou could only nod, I will head downstairs. After walking a few steps out of the room, the sound of the door closing resounded behind her. Aunt Zhou walked downstairs while stifling her giggles. It seems that the young couple should be able to make up tonight. After all, they will argue at the head of the bed, but they end up in the bed. ** In the bedroom. Xiao Yebai had just poured a cup of hangover tea, when his phone rang. He put down the teacup, took out the mobile phone from Mo Weiyis small bag, looked at the name on the screen, and immediately picked it up. There was Su Wanwans urgent voice on the other end of the line, Weiyi, why arent you back yet? Has Xiao Yenbai, that bastard, targeted you again? Werent we supposed to give each other the cold shoulder? Tell me where you are right now, I will come to pick you up so that that jerk cant take advantage of you. No need. The mans cold and heartless voice made the other side instantly go silent. After a while, Su Wanwan spoke again, Hehe, so you are there, Master Xiao? Where is Weiyi? Her tone was cautious, compared to before, there was a very clear hint of respect. Xiao Yebai twitched his lips into a half-smile that was not quite a smile, She came back home with me. I dont believe you! Su Wanwan quickly coughed twice after speaking, her tone returning to respectful again, Oh, so thats it. Can I speak to her then? Not convenient. Su Wanwan: Im hanging up, I will take her back tomorrow. Xiao Yebai believed his attitude was still quite calm, he said it then hung up, then turned the phone off and threw it back. Back beside the bed, he held up Mo Weiyi, with the sobering tea near her mouth. Just as she drank a mouthful, Mo Weiyi pushed it away. The tea cup fell on the carpet, soaking her clothes and bedding. The mans eyebrows slightly furrowed, he quickly lifted the hem of her dress, taking off the complex vintage underlying skirt in a sweep. The sudden chill made Mo Weiyi frown more tightly. Her delicate white hands instinctively reached to find a blanket. Not finding any, she tried with her other hand Under the orange light, the man carefully scrutinized the young woman. Her exquisite face was flushed, radiating a faint smell of wine, her cat eyes revealed a drunk and confused look. Xiao Yebais voice was low and hoarse as he slowly spoke, Weiyi, say my name. Mo Weiyi half-closed her cat eyes, and, responding to his question, obediently opened her small mouth to speak, Xiaobai. Xiao Yebais deep voice was quite seductive, Say you love me. I love you. Who do you love? I love Xiaobai. The man suddenly reached over and grabbed the mens mobile phone from the bedside table and pressed the record button. Weiyi, who am I? Mo Weiyi furrowed his brows, finding him annoying, and moved to cover his mouth with his hand. Xiao Yebai quickly grabbed her small hand, coaxing her gently, Call my name, be good. Mo Weiyi obediently said, Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai was pleased, Do you like Xiaobai? I do like you. Does Weiyi love Xiaobai? Love Xiaobai. Does Weiyi want Xiaobai? Want Xiaobai. Satisfied, Xiao Yebai threw the mobile phone aside and leaned over for a kiss. * * Nancheng University. After being hung up on, Su Wenwen knew something was off and quickly redialed the number, only to hear a mechanical female voice. Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off, please try again later. He did it on purpose! Xiao Yebai definitely did it on purpose! But what could she do about it? They were a married couple Su Wenwen felt helpless and did not sleep well at all that night. She kept dreaming about Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai fighting, and about them arguing and wanting a divorce When she woke up the next day and saw the dark circles under her eyes, she felt as if she had broken her mothers heart with worry. Monday was the flag-raising ceremony and although it was the end of the semester, the school administration was still strict. She quickly got up, had breakfast and went to the playground. In the meantime, she called Mo Weiyi, but his phone was still turned off. It wasnt until the flag-raising ceremony ended that Su Wenwen finally received a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi. [Wanwan, I was drunk last night, I will be back to school at noon.] Su Wenwen was speechless. Drunk? It seemed it was true, that jerk took advantage of him again. Ha-ha, indeed A mans sexual desire has cost him dear. Just as Su Wenwen was about to reply, a familiar voice rang out, Wanwan. Su Wenwen looked up, her face full of surprise. Long time no see. Bai Ruwei greeted with a smile. Su Wenwen looked at her and said, It has been a long time. She had changed. If Bai Ruwei had always been low-key and simple in her attire before, the current Bai Ruwei seemed to be a completely different person. She was wearing a pointed knitted hat, her face adorned with delicate light make-up, and even her hairstyle had changed. Her previous plain long black hair was now cut into a trendy shoulder-length bob with slight waves at the ends. Combined with the red Prada crossbody bag, she looked much more fashionable and beautiful. Dont you recognize me? With a somewhat shy smile, Bai Ruwei said, I just changed my hairstyle because I recently found an internship and often need to go out, so I have to dress a bit mature. If I do well, I can stay and become a regular staff member. Oh. Su Wenwen nodded, Congratulations. By the way, Wanwan, thanks to your help last time, I got back together with Zhexi. Su Wanwan was stunned, What does that have to do with me? At the club last time, you really helped me out. The scandal with Xia Jiani made it to the media, and I went to Zhexi, explained it to him again, and he believed me. Su Wanwan frowned and after thinking about it, she said, Actually, it doesnt have much to do with me. If it wasnt for Xia Jiani and that Mr. Zhou fooling around in the bathroom initially, Gu Huaian wouldnt have caught them, and it wouldnt have led to that scandal. Anyway, I want to thank you. Bai Ruwei replied sincerely, Because Zhexi has agreed to take me home to meet his parents. Su Wanwan was stunned again, So soon? Bai Ruwei: Its not soon, weve been dating for almost three months. You guys Su Wanwan couldnt help her curiosity, cough, have you guys already? Considering Zhexis open-mindedness, they mustve already As she had suspected, Bai Ruwei nodded. Su Wanwan: She was completely speechless. Wanwan, can you help me with another thing? Bai Ruwei asked again. Su Wanwan asked: What is it? Bai Ruwei twisted her fingers, Im afraid Zhexis parents wont like me, could you say some nice things about me in front of them? Su Wanwan: Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: 485, this is the breakup fee of 5 million Chapter 485: 485, this is the breakup fee of 5 million Su Wanwan looked at her, those pretty phoenix eyes, clear and transparent, What do you mean? Her fingers subconsciously tightened, Bai Ruwei felt a little guilty under those eyes. It took her a while to finally find her voice, Just say a few good words about me. I come from a rural area, my family background isnt great, and I even used to work as a maid in your house. Zhexi also knows about this. Im just afraid that Zhexis parents wont be satisfied, thinking that Im not good enough for Zhexi, that I was only attracted to his familys wealth, and I deliberately got closer to Zhexi. Is that so? Su Wanwan interrupted her directly. What? Bai Ruwei was taken aback. Su Wanwan straightforwardly said, So you got close to Zhexi because you were interested in his wealth? Of course not. Bai Ruwei denied it immediately. Su Wanwan slightly hooked her lips, smiling faintly, Thats good then. Since you have a clear conscience, whats there to worry about? Bai Ruwei bit her lip, Im just worried his parents might not like me. Worrying is useless, after all, you havent met them yet, have you? After saying these words, Su Wanwan glanced at her cell phone, Excuse me, I have to go to my English class now, Im about to be late. Bai Ruwei asked, Ms. Mo is not with you today? Oh, she went home last night. Mentioning Mo Weiyi, Su Wanwan couldnt help thinking about last nights phone call. Damn it, she thought it was Mo Weiyi who answered the phone, so she let loose a bunch of nasty words calling the man a scumbag. As it turned out, it was Xiao Yebai who heard her swearing! Would he give her a hard time in the future? . After Su Wanwan left, the smile on Bai Ruweis face gradually disappeared. She knew that the elders of the Huo family would definitely look down on her origin. Thats why she wanted Su Wanwan to say a few good words for her in front of the Huo family members. Shed taken great pains to get to the point of meeting the parents, and she couldnt be defeated at the last minute. She was definitely not giving up. * * After finishing two English classes, Su Wanwan had just packed up her bag when she received a phone call from Bai Ruwei. She frowned and still chose to answer, Whats up? Wanwan, Im downstairs in the academic building. I have something I want to discuss with you. Sure. Mo Weiyi hadnt come to school yet, and Su Wanwan didnt think much about it. She went straight downstairs to meet up with Bai Ruwei. Whod have thought Bai Ruwei would say after meeting, Its already twelve oclock. Let me treat you to lunch. The Cantonese Restaurant at the entrance is pretty good. We can eat and talk. Whats the matter? You can just tell me directly. But Ive already booked a table. Bai Ruwei looked at her phone, What should I do? It seems that I cant cancel it now. Su Wanwan frowned, Then, lets split the bill. Youve just started your internship, you dont have much money. Bai Ruwei smiled and didnt refuse, Lets go. The two arrived at the Cantonese Restaurant, and just after ordering, Bai Ruweis phone rang. She picked it up and had a glance, quickly answering, Hello? Who is this? She didnt know what was said on the other end of the phone, but her face immediately became tense. Her tone also became very respectful, Hello Auntie, Im at the Cantonese restaurant by the school entrance now. Su Wanwan frowned. Aunt? Who? Alright, Auntie, see you in a bit. After hanging up, Bai Ruwei looked at Su Wanwan in a panic, What should I do, Wanwan, Zhexis mom is coming to see me. Su Wanwan was stunned. Zhexis mom? Such a coincidence? She happened to be coming to meet Bai Ruwei just when they were about to have lunch? Bai Ruwei was already panicking, quickly calling the waiter over, Waiter, bring the menu, I want to add a few more dishes. Su Wanwan stopped her, Youve already ordered six dishes. Thats more than enough for three people. You dont need to add more. But shes an elder, and this is our first encounter. Six dishes isnt that too few? Bai Ruwei looked at her, struggling, What should I do, Wanwan? Im really nervous. Although Zhexi mentioned meeting his parents this weekend, why has his mother come to see me alone now? Whatwhat would she talk about with me? Having said that, she immediately stood, Right, I should greet her at the entrance, she should be here soon. Su Wanwan had no choice but to stand up too, I will go with you. Okay. Both of them came to the entrance of the restaurant, and before long, they saw a black Rolls Royce stopped by the roadside. The driver sprinting over to open the rear door. A luxurious beauty stepped out of the vehicle. She wore a black long down jacket with matching narrow pants, a pair of black high-heeled short boots, and held a bright red, small, leather handbag, her hair elegantly coiled up high into a vintage bun. Her appearance was rather toned-down, but when she turned her face and looked towards Su Wanwan, she couldnt help but be awestruck. A woman truly worthy of her reputation. Mingzhu, who was over fifty, was still radiant and beautiful. Her features were bright and her looks were bold. At the first glance, you wouldnt be able to guess her real age, Su Wanwan even wondered, how beautiful must Mingzhu have been when she was young? She thought that Huo Nuanyangs appearance seemed to have inherited everything from this mother C handsome, dignified. As for Huo Zhexi, he seemed a bit off. Wanwan, why are you here? Su Wanwan hurriedly collected her thoughts but Bai Ruwei spoke faster. Auntie, Wanwan is a friend of mine, we are dining together today. Mingzhus gaze shifted away from Su Wanwans face onto Bai Ruweis face. She smiled lightly with a hint of mockery in her tone, What a coincidence, huh? Bai Ruwei nodded, Auntie, weve already ordered the food No need, Im not hungry. Mingzhu said and turned to look at Su Wanwan again, Wanwan, can I have a few words alone with Miss Bai? Su Wanwan naturally agreed, Alright. You go in and eat first, dont starve yourself. Mingzhu had a friendly look on her face. After all, this was Ashens wife. She was always polite towards family. Su Wanwan glanced at Bai Ruwei, Then I will go in first. Bai Ruwei could only nod. As soon as Su Wanwan left, Mingzhu immediately said, Miss Bai, its windy here, lets go into the car and talk. Okay. Mingzhu turned and walked towards the car parked on the roadside. Bai Ruwei followed behind, her hands and legs trembling with nervousness. When they reached the car, the driver opened the rear door and Mingzhu motioned, Miss Bai, please. Bai Ruwei didnt dare to get into the car first. She didnt know where to put her awkward hands, Auntie, you dont have to be so polite. Mingzhu smiled softly and quickly got into the car. Once Bai Ruwei also got into the car from another side, Mingzhu spoke softly with a smile, Miss Bai, I didnt expect you to be so calculating. Did you deliberately ask Wanwan to be here? Auntie, IC Please call me Mrs. Huo. Today is our first meeting, it isnt appropriate to call me Auntie. Bai Ruweis face turned pale, her hands clenched fiercely. She could only change her address and explain, Mrs. Huo, youve misunderstood. I really had something to discuss with Wanwan. I didnt know youd be coming today. Dont explain, Ive lived for fifty years, and Im confident that my judgement is accurate. I dont want to waste time on useless talk. After Mingzhu finished speaking, she took out a cheque and handed it over, Heres a breakup fee of 5 million. After you take it, the farther you stay away from my son, the better. Bai Ruwei looked at the cheque but didnt reach out to take it. Do you find this amount inadequate? Mingzhu chuckled lightly, You should know that if you dont take it now, when Zhexi gets bored in a few days, you might not even get 50000. Would you like to reconsider? Mrs. Huo. Bai Ruwei lifted her eyes to look at her, her beautiful eyes turning red and filled with grievances, I genuinely like Zhexi. Thats why Im together with him. Im not the kind of woman who chases after vanity. Mingzhu looked at her, the smile on her red lips deepening, Oh, so why dont you tell me exactly what it is about Zhexi that you like? Zhexi is very straightforward. Weve been together for three months, and every day is delightful. We truly love each other. Mingzhu smiled unchanged, My son, hes been pampered by me to the point of being a cripple. Hes lazy, doesnt make any effort, full of explosive rage and spends his days idly Bai Ruwei: Its rare to see, Miss Bai, you managed to find his few remaining qualities. As his mother, it gives me relief. Bai Ruwei again: Is this woman really his mom? Previously, she had often heard Huo Zhexi complaining privately about his elder relatives in the Huo family, saying that they were biased and only liked his oldest brother Huo Jingshen and his second brother Huo Nuanyang. Now it seemed, his complaints were true. Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: 486, the older the ginger, the spicier it is Chapter 486: 486, the older the ginger, the spicier it is For all these years, youre not the first woman for Zhexi, or the first one he planned to bring home. Mingzhu said, putting the money back into her bag, But Miss Bai, you are the first woman to have such lofty ambitions. Bai Ruwei felt a jump in her heart, Mrs Huo, you really misunderstand Ambition is not a bad thing. From your background, youve been through hardships for so long, wanting to climb higher, arent satisfied with your current situation, it is human nature, understandable. But some harsh words, I must say beforehand. Mingzhu played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, her red lips lightly sneered, every word clear, Ambition used in the wrong place, Im afraid you will end up losing both your money and your person, and your tactics will be in vain, leaving you with nothing. Mrs Huo, I really like Zhexi! Bai Ruweis voice suddenly raised, tears swirling in her eyes, I know, I come from a rural area. All of you look down on me and think that I want to transform from a sparrow into a phoenix. But I have always been one of the top students in my school. I worked hard to get into college. The tuition and living expenses for the past two years were all earned by me working part-time, cent by cent. I never thought about taking shortcuts to success. I never took any shortcuts. Each step was made by stepping on solid ground. If you dont believe me, you can investigate. I like Zhexi because when I was working as a waitress in a club, everyone looked down on me and thought I was just a waitress. So if I did something wrong, their first reaction was to scold or hit me, even humiliate me. Zhexi didnt do that. I didnt even know he was the third son of the Huo family. I just thought he was a very nice person. He was also my first man. She couldnt hold back her tears, Yes, I know you think Zhexi doesnt measure up to the other two children of the Huo family. Therefore, my infatuation with him must have ulterior motives. But I dont have any! He is the first man who has been so kind to me. He doesnt look down on me because of my family background or profession. He is simple-minded, and although he is immature now, doesnt that mean you even dont trust your own son? I believe that as long as we give him time, he will definitely not be inferior to his two brothers. After hearing these words, Mingzhus expression still didnt change much, If thats the case, I dont think there is anything we can talk about. At her signal, the driver got out of the car and came over to open the door. A cold wind rushed in from the outside. Bai Ruwei only felt a bone-chilling cold on the back of her neck, and she shuddered a bit. She looked at the glamorous lady in front of her and said sincerely, Mrs Huo, I didnt mean to offend you. I just think that Zhexi is not as bad as you think. He is just Miss Bai, please get off the car. Mingzhu finally couldnt help but gesture. Clearly not wanting to talk any more. Bai Ruwei bit her lip. This was her first meeting with Huo family. She knows that its not good to make a big fuss. After all, this is only the beginning. After taking a deep breath, she got out of the car. Standing there watching the Rolls-Royce slowly driving away, her hands gradually tightened into fists. ** In the restaurant. The dishes have already been served, and Su Wanwan is sitting there without touching her chopsticks. She didnt know how long the two would talk, or whether Mingzhu would come to eat later. If she came over for a meal, it wouldnt be nice for her, as a junior, to start eating first. Suddenly, her phone rang. Picking it up, it was Mingzhu calling. Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, Aunt. Mingzhus voice didnt change, still crisp and clear. She asked, Wanwan, are you close with this Bai Ruwei? Su Wanwan carefully replied, We are from the same school. In the past, she also helped out at the Sus house. She helped me then. Oh, I see. Mingzhu laughed lightly, this Miss Bai is quite calculating and ambitious. Wanwan, you better be careful. Its best not to get too close to her. Su Wanwan frowned, So, she and Zhexis matter I definitely wont agree. Mingzhu spoke very straightforwardly and didnt seem interested in discussing it further. Wanwan, I have things to do today. Lets do this another time. Ill find another opportunity to take you out to dinner. Su Wanwan actually quite liked her aunt, mainly because when Su Yanyan had falsely accused her of being pregnant last time, Mingzhu had robustly defended her against the old master of Xing family and had stood by her. Although it was largely for the sake of Huo Jingshen, the fact that she could do so showed that Mingzhu was straightforward, had a strong sense of loyalty and was very defensive. Moreover, she was also the aunt of Ming Jing and the aunt of Ye Qitian there was always a sense of familiarity there. So, she readily agreed, Okay, Aunt, you go ahead. Okay, Ill hang up first. After she hung up, Bai Ruwei came back shortly after. Her eyes were red and swollen and there were still tear tracks on her face. She had obviously been crying. Clearly, her talk with Mingzhu had not gone well. When she sat down, Su Wanwan picked up her chopsticks to eat shamelessly, asking her casually, You said you had something to discuss with me. What is it? Bai Ruwei looked at her, Im sorry, Wanwan. Actually, I purposely asked you to come eat with us. Su Wanwan did not expect her to admit it so directly. It felt like being punched into a cotton swab. Zhexi told me last night that he would take me to meet his parents, and that he had already informed the Huo Family. I thought then, if it was like it is in novels, his parents would definitely come to see me beforehand. So, when I saw you this morning, I thought to ask you to have breakfast together, and I was surprised that I was correct, She lowered her head, softly sobbing, But then, everything got messed up. Wanwan, Im sorry. Can you forgive me? I didnt mean to use you. Her tears seemed genuinely heartfelt, and Su Wanwan could only say, Youre overthinking it. You are in a relationship with Zhexi and want to marry him, thats your business. If you want to gain his parents approval, its up to your own efforts. I am just an outsider after all. Even if I say a few good words for you, or make them think that you are my friend, do you think it would make much of a difference? More so, do you think the Huo Family are so easy to manipulate as you imagine? Maybe it will only leave a worse impression of you. Mingzhu saw through Bai Ruweis intention at a glance earlier. Experience is the best teacher. Zhexi is so profligate, spending all day in lavish debauchery, causing troubles wherever he goes. Perhaps, given the years, this wasnt the first time Mingzhu encountered such an issue. As expected, Bai Ruwei said, Earlier, Mrs. Huo gave me 5 million Yuan to leave Zhexi. Did you take it? Su Wanwan asked. Bai Ruwei shook her head, No. Su Wanwan: What the hell, she isnt taking 5 million Yuan? Does Bai Ruwei truly like Zhexi that much? If it were for the money, I could have already found a man and become a gold-digger. Why would I need to work so hard for so many years to earn a living? When others are partying and finding boyfriends, I was washing dishes in the back kitchen of the restaurant, mopping, and cleaning tables I am not a vain woman, why did she insult me with money? As she spoke, Bai Ruwei started crying againthe tears falling like a waterfall and making her unable to speak properly. Su Wanwan did not know what to say anymore. ** After finally finishing lunch, Bai Ruwei left for work. Su Wanwan returned to her dorm building and checked the time before she sent a message to Mo Weiyi. [When are you coming over? Do you want to go the library this afternoon?] Mo Weiyi replied immediately: [I am already here.] When she got upstairs, Su Wanwan knocked on the door of the dorm room next door. The door opened. Mo Weiyi, with an awkward expression on his face, looked at her, Baby Wanwan, did you call me last night? Yeah, and I even insulted the boss, Xiao, calling him a scumbag. He heard it all! Su Wanwan said, with a strained smile. Mo Weiyi quickly grabbed her hand and began to act cute, Im sorry, I was drunk last night. I didnt know anything. You were drunk? And then what? Then he took me home. Su Wanwan: And you two had a roll in the hay? Mo Weiyi: Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, So, did you guys make up? No! Su Wanwan was surprised, What happened then? In any case, I will not meet him before the exams! Otherwise, the result of each meeting would be ending up in bed together. Su Wanwan nodded, I will wait and see. I am being serious this time. Baby Wanwan, you have to trust me! Mo Weiyis face was serious as if he was about to make an oath. Whatever. Su Wanwan turned around. Do you also want to go to the library? Yes, I need to study diligently and improve myself daily. Su Wanwan chuckled. We shall wait and see. Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: 487, Xiaobai’s Prime Time of Beauty Chapter 487: 487, Xiaobais Prime Time of Beauty The two of them reached the academic building and spotted a familiar face standing in front of the notice board on the roadside. Ling Zhizhou? However, it seemed like there was another man next to him. About twenty-five to twenty-six years old, he sported a flat haircut and wore a meticulously tailored black suit and matching overcoat. His figure was slender, and he was slightly gaunt, with a half-burned cigarette in his hand. He didnt look like a student from the school. Mo Weiyi also took note of the stranger, Who is that guy? Su Wanwan furrowed her brow. After a while, Ling Zhizhou seemed to realize something. He glanced over in their direction and promptly engaged in a conversation with the man. The man also glanced over at the two girls. His gaze was direct, his eyes narrow and slightly excess in the white of his eyes. His look was inexplicably somber and added to his thin frame and dark clothing, he exuded an aura of melancholy and wicked coldness. After a brief scan, his gaze fell on Mo Weiyi. Is this Mo Weiyi? His voice was deep and chilling. Ling Zhizhou immediately responded, What I do is none of your business. Heh heh heh. The mans throat rumbled with a low, eerie chuckle, What do you plan to do? As I said, its none of your concern. Youre not allowed to interfere, warned Ling Zhizhou. As Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi approached, he lowered his voice and swiftly said, You can go now, dont ever come to the school looking for me again. The man crushed out his cigarette butt, his gaze still lingering on Mo Weiyis pretty face, She is quite beautiful. Ling Zhizhous brow knitted, I told you to leave now. If she finds you here, all my plans will be ruined. Did you hear me? Ling Zhizhou? Mo Weiyis voice drifted closer. Go! Now! Ling Zhizhou was bordering on desperation, on the verge of pushing him away. Finally, the man smirked wickedly, tossed his cigarette, and left. Ling Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and greeted them with his usual innocent, sunny smile, Seniors, are you heading to the reading room? Su Wanwan asked him, Who was he? Oh, hes my cousin. Ling Zhizhou responded with an unwavering smile. You have a cousin? Mo Weiyi couldnt help but glance again at the retreating figure of the man. He didnt resemble Ling Zhizhou much, and that mans eyes were too ominous. He didnt seem like good news at all. However, judging by his outfit, it must have been quite expensive. Wasnt Ling Zhizhous family struggling? How does he have such a wealthy cousin? Ling Zhizhou explained, He runs a business abroad. He just got back and heard that Im studying here so he came to give me some pocket money. I see. Mo Weiyi nodded. She didnt think any more of it, and the three of them chatted as they walked into the academic building. ** They didnt have classes in the afternoon, so they spent several hours in the reading room until dusk fell. Su Wanwan checked the time, Im starving, lets go eat. Okay. Mo Weiyi stood up. Since Chen Jin was coming in the evening to continue teaching, she packed up her books in her bag, planning to go back to the dorm first. But as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Su Wanwan exclaimed, Didnt you lock the door when you left? I did. Mo Weiyi hurried out of the elevator. Her dorm room was at the end of the corridor, and the door was wide open, light pouring out from within. It was weirdly eerie. Damn, we werent robbed, were we? Su Wanwan raced over hastily. Her dorm was fine. Except for the designer clothes and bags that Mrs. Huo bought for her, there was nothing valuable. But it was different for Mo Weiyi, her room was filled with expensive items, if it was a robbery, the loss would be great. However, once they stepped through the door, they were startled, resulting in a scream from Su Wanwan, Ah! What happened? What happened? Mo Weiyi rushed in, only to be taken aback herself. Sitting at the dorms study desk was a cold, beautiful man. He was dressed in a black shirt paired with a dark grey woolen pullover, crossed long legs, a cool demeanor, and his black leather shoes shining coldly in the light. He was slightly bowed, a book in his long, fair fingers. Just looking at his face, he was incredibly good-looking. But what was a grown man doing in a girls dormitory, painted in pink tones, in the middle of the night? Su Wanwan clutched her chest, feeling like she had just been startled into a cold sweat. This couple was really getting on her nerves. She had only brought him home yesterday, and today he was already at the dormitory. What was with this cold war? But how did he get in here? How did you get in? Mo Weiyi asked what Su Wanwan was thinking. The man lifted his eyes, voice cold, I walked in. Pft. If it were not for the odd atmosphere, Su Wanwan would have burst into laughter. Who allowed you in? This is my dormitory! Mo Weiyi was somewhat irked. Xiao Yebai directed his gaze at Su Wanwan, Miss Su. Just three words, warmly suggestive of his hope that she would leave. Su Wanwan was about to turn and go, but Mo Weiyi grabbed her arm, Wanwan, dont you leave! You, go! Su Wanwan was flabbergasted. She was really hungry and wanted to go eat. Xiao Yebai rose to his feet. Suddenly, Su Wanwan felt the dorm room so small. She and Mo Weiyi usually felt it pretty spacious when it was just the two of them. Especially when the man strode over with those long legs, and looked down at the two girls from above. Mo Weiyis delicate white fingers clenched tightly around Su Wanwans arm. The two girls both had waist-length curly hair, bright and clear eyes, and similar heights Despite that, they were still almost twenty centimeters shorter than him. Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: 488, Is Xiao Yebai made of iceberg? Chapter 488: 488, Is Xiao Yebai made of iceberg? Xiao Yebai immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed Mo Weiyis arm, and pulled hard. Ah! Mo Weiyi winced in pain as he was yanked towards him. The mans gaze was icy cold, We have something to discuss, Miss Su. Got it. As soon as Su Wanwan said this subconsciously, she felt slightly taken aback. So, she instantly blurted out, You jerk! If you dare to hurt Weiyi, I will not let you go! You better not bully Weiyi, you hear me? With that, she didnt wait for his response, turned around, and sprinted away. She even considerately closed the door behind her. Xiao Yebai: . ** Back in her dormitory, Su Wanwan touched her pounding heart. My god, is Xiao Yebai really made of ice? Couldnt he at least give her a smile? After knowing him for ten years, does he not understand basic human courtesy? Her husband is so much better! So, when Huo Jingshens call came through, she immediately answered, cooing sweetly, Honey. There was a pause on the other end, then, What is it, spent all your living allowance already? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes in exasperation. Every time she affectionately called him husband, he would come up with a comment like this. Did he think she was some sort of gold-digger? Yeah, Im out of money. Send me a red packet. Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, How much? 10,000 would be just enough, 100,000 wont be too much. Su Wanwan instantly responded. Yum, that sounds delicious. Who knew Nope. Su Wanwans face fell instantly, Stingy! Forgot to mention, her husband was perfect in every way, except when it came to money he was incredibly tight-fisted! The next second. 10,000 if you come out for dinner with me. Sure! Su Wanwan agreed immediately as she was incredibly hungry. Im at the school gate, come over. Su Wanwan: What the hell, at the school gate? Was he doing this on purpose? But thinking about those two next door Nevermind. Just go out for dinner with someone, hoping the situation next door would end in one or two hours. Maybe she would have to sleep alone tonight. With that thought, Su Wanwan quickly put down her bag, walked over to the mirror, and took a look at herself. Her eyebrows were as delicate as a painting, her skin was fair and glowing, her long, seaweed-like hair was black and thick, she truly was a beauty! Su Wanwan grinned at herself as she dabbed on her lip gloss, then grabbed her keys and phone and headed out to meet her date. ** Meanwhile, the room next door to hers was enveloped in silence. Xiao Yebai locked the door, turned around, and found that Mo Weiyi was looking at him with intense focus, What are you doing here? Xiao Yebais lips pulled into a thin line, I came to take you home. I said before that I wont return home before my exams. Why not? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, A Cold War? He remembered quite clearly what Su Wanwan had told him on the phone last night. They had agreed on a Cold War? Hmm. Mo Weiyi nodded, Yes, I need some time to myself. What do you need time for? Because I suddenly realized, I dont know if theres a place for me, your wife, in your heart. What do you mean? Looking at his taut face, Mo Weiyi chuckled slightly, You still dont understand? She took a deep breath, and slowly said, You know that I never take off my wedding ring. You dont remember our wedding anniversary. Every time theres a holiday, Im the one who gives you gifts. If I dont remind you, youll forget to give me a gift. Weve known each other for ten years, and have been married for two. But you dont even know what my favorite dish is. Whenever we have a disagreement, Im always the one who apologizes first, and makes it up to you. This time I didnt, and you didnt come looking for me. If I hadnt moved out to the dormitory, would you have pretended as if nothing had happened? Other than when were making love, I really cant see your passion for me. Whats the difference between how you treat me and how you treat other women? Xiao Yebai, do you really consider me your wife? The mans face grew cold, his jaw clenched, his lips pressed into an unyielding line, those eyes of his staring straight at her, yet he said nothing. Mo Weiyi decided to be straightforward, The last time you visited, I asked you why you came. You didnt tell me your reasons then. So tonight, can you tell me why you came? Could it be She laughed at herself, You want to take me back for your favorite activity again? So, in your heart, you have so many complaints against me. Xiao Yebai finally spoke. Hearing this, Mo Weiyis self-deprecating laughter grew louder. She looked at the man before her. Outwardly, he was always impeccably dressed, cold, and aristocratic. Regardless of the season, he always wore clothes of various dark hues. When it was cold, he would add dark clothes on top. She used to think that made him look sophisticated, even sexless. Flirting with him gave her a sense of achievement. But now it seemed that it was just because he was cold by nature, no warmth, no emotion. Xiao Yebai, do you like me? Mo Weiyi blurted out. The man looked at her, his eyes behind the plain glasses narrowing almost imperceptibly. Mo Weiyi stayed silent. Holding her breath, waiting for his answer. But As time passed, he remained silent, and the tension and anticipation in her heart slowly cooled down. Until it finally settled into a silent calm. Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: 489, a slap hit the man’s face Chapter 489: 489, a slap hit the mans face The answer was indeed as expected. Ten years ago, from the moment she first saw him, she fell for him like a spell, madly in love with him. And at that time his answer was, I do not like you. But she was stubborn. Truly stubborn. He didnt like her? No big deal, it was okay if he didnt like her, as long as she liked him, right? She conveniently ignored all his feelings and followed him day by day like a little tail. With the help of her grandfather, even if his face was foul or he was unwilling, wouldnt he still be forced to accompany her and take care of her every day? At her word, he would have to hold her, carry her, even carry her on his back and constantly wander around the old house. As the two grew, her feelings for him grew deeper, deep into her marrow, deeply rooted. She even believed that as long as she could possess him, keep him by her side, he would be hers! In this lifetime, he, Xiao Yebai, could only be her, Mo Weiyis man! So what if he didnt like her? Sincerity moves stone, as long as they could be forever together, wouldnt there be a day when he, Xiao Yebai, like ice block, could eventually be warmed and melted by her? But now the harsh reality proved that she was wrong. Terribly wrong. It turned out that in these ten years, she had been deceiving herself, self-hypnotizing. If a man doesnt like you, no matter how proactive or passionate you are, at most it would become a habit for him. Mo Weiyi turned her body around, not wanting to see that cold face again. She kept her school bag on her back, loaded with bulky English textbooks. To be honest, it was kind of heavy. So heavy that she could hardly straighten her back. Mo Weiyi slowly exhaled a sulky breath, walked over to the desk, and put down her bag. Her gaze fell onto the black coat hanging on the back of the chair. The coats collar was turned up, revealing the brand inside. It was the gift she and Su Wanwan bought recently from a boutique. Other than this coat, she had also bought a pile of shirts, sweaters, trousers and That scarf that she had thrown away on the spot. Her long eyelashes fluttered, she turned her gaze away, and began removing the textbooks from her bag one by one. After a moment of silence, she couldnt help but speak again, Can you leave now? Im a bit tired, I want to sleep. The man still didnt speak. The room was very quiet, so when the phone suddenly rang, Mo Weiyi was startled. She quickly found her phone, looked at it, and answered, Zhizhou, whats up? Hearing this name, the black pupils of the man behind her moved slightly. Eat? Now? Mo Weiyi looked at the time, it was already past six. Chen Jin would come for tutoring later, there was not enough time. She would have declined, but the faint masculine smell of the man behind her made her change her mind at the last moment, Alright, what shall we eat, where are you, I will come to you Ah! Before she could finish her sentence, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the phone from her hand, hung up the call and then casually tossed it away. The phone accurately hit the wall with a pop. Mo Weiyi was taken aback, watching her now black-screen new phone on the ground, she turned around and shouted with her voice trembling in anger, This is my new phone! Why did you smash my phone again! The man answered in an cold and mocking tone, Havent I told you, to stay away from Ling Zhizhou. What right do you have to control me? I am your husband. Have you ever fulfilled your husbandly duties? If it werent for me climbing into your bed initially, wouldnt you have not married me at all? Because you dont like me at all! What I am saying now is, stay away from Ling Zhizhou. No, I wont! The mans domineering and stern attitude made Mo Weiyi instantly rebellious. After all, she was not a docile woman at heart. Xiao Yebai, Ling Zhizhou is my friend, and I am very happy when I am with him. What right do you have to make me leave him? Happy? He repeated the three words, the handsome face seemed to cloud over. Thats right! Mo Weiyi lifted her chin high. But very soon, her chin was pinched tightly by his boned fingers. Mo Weiyi. Xiao Yebai held her proud chin, his fingers tightened,So, is the reason youve been giving me the cold shoulder and blaming me is because youve found a new target? I have no idea what youre talking about! Mo Weiyi felt a pang in her chin, her tears swirled in her eyes as she grabbed his wrist, Let it go, it hurts! Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, staring at her without blinking. The young girls delicate face filled with anger was now tinged with a thin layer of red. Her long eyelashes were drooping, whether it was due to grievance or pain, her beautiful cat-like eyes were brimming with moist. She looks pitiful to the extreme. He squinted his eyes sharply and found himself filled with a tumultuous mix of emotions. What are you trying to do? Mo Weiyi felt a wave of panic at his stare. What do you think I want to do? After a moments surprise, Mo Weiyi began to struggle, Are you crazy, this is the girls dormitory. Didnt you used to like seeking this kind of unusual thrill? Xiao Yebai moved with grace and ease, So, you dont like it anymore? Mo Weiyis face turned bright red at his words. She indeed had thought about that, and had hinted at him more than once, but he seldom even came to pick her up from school. Weiyi, you seem to have developed a liking for lying now. Xiao Yebais fingers quickly returned to her delicate face. His voice low, You are different from before, why have you become this way? Because of Ling Zhizhou? Mo Weiyi couldnt help shouting, Let me goyouforget about it, first close the curtain. Her dorm floor wasnt high and not far opposite was the girls dorm for the lower grades. If someone wished to, they could easily see into her room. She didnt want to be the object of peeping. The man let out a low chuckle, then stood up, pretending to go close the curtains. Seizing this opportunity, Mo Weiyi jumped up and rushed to the door to open it. When she heard his footsteps following her, and her arm was suddenly grabbed, Mo Weiyi turned around and without a word, swung her hand. Slap. And thats how she slapped the mans face. Loud and crisp. Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: 490, pass it if you can, if not, get a divorce. Chapter 490: 490, pass it if you can, if not, get a divorce. The previously somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the room instantly froze over. Caught completely off guard, Xiao Yebai forcefully received the slap. Mo Weiyi was stunned. This was the first time she had slapped him. Even before they were together, no matter how intolerable his attitude was, she had never slapped him. She did not even know what had happened just then. Probably because she was too angry at his arrogance, and she was panicked when he grabbed her just now, so she just Xiao Yebai slowly turned his face back, lifted his distinctly knuckled fingers, and touched his slapped cheek. His black eyes squinted, and even though he said nothing, the danger was clearly revealed in his gloomy and dim eyes. Mo Weiyi swallowed nervously and began to stammer, IIve told you, dont touch meWho allowed youto touch me? Xiao Yebai hooked up his thin lips, his smile was shallow, almost mocking, his voice chilly and sarcastic, Now you cant even stand my touch? Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, then defiantly lifted her chin, Thats right. Get out, I dont want to see you! It was dinner time, and suddenly there was a rush of female voices in the hallway that seeped through the thin door. Behind his glasses, the mans eyes were pitch black and indifferent. Then, he grabbed the doorknob, opened the door, and walked out in a straight line. As Chen Jin had just entered the womens dormitory courtyard, under a dim street light, she suddenly saw a man walking towards her. At first, she was startled. Why was a man hanging around the womens dormitory at this late hour? When the man got closer, and she saw his face clearly, Chen Jin immediately froze, her heart pounded, she slightly raised her voice excitedly, Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here? Xiao Yebai was only wearing a thin black shirt and trousers, over which he wore a deep grey cashmere sweater. His figure was handsome, his face expressionless, but his cold ruthlessness and anger were obvious. Hearing her words, he acted as if he didnt hear anything, and he didnt even glance at her. He swiftly and coldly walked past her. A gust of wind brushed past. Chen Jin stood there, watching the mans retreating tall figure, then turned around, looking up at the direction of Mo Weiyis dormitory. The lights were on? She furrowed her brows, and quickly stepped into the dormitory building. Upon reaching upstairs, the door to Mo Weiyis dormitory room was slightly ajar. She went over and knocked a couple of times before quickly pushing the door open. As expected, Mo Weiyi was sitting blankly in front of her desk. She didnt react even when the door was knocked and someone came in. Chen Jin quickly scanned the dorm room. It was a bit messy on the bed, but the quilt was still neatly arranged. She instantly spotted a mans black leather belt on the bed. And a black overcoat on the back of the chair, it must be Xiao Yebis, right? She started a conversation, Miss Mo, Miss Mo? Mo Weiyi finally came back to her senses, looking at Chen Jin, she managed a stiff smile, Teacher Chen, youre here. Chen Jin deliberately asked, Miss Mo, this coat is Following her gaze, Mo Weiyi quickly stood up, grabbed the coat and threw it on the bed. Then she noticed the mens belt on the bed. With a dark face, she simply pulled the quilt over to cover both the coat and the belt. This damn man! Turning around, her smile was sweet again, No problem, my husband came over earlier and accidentally left his things. I see. Chen Jin didnt pierce her lie. Mo Weiyi had been living in the dormitory for more than half a month already, supposedly for the final exams, but did she really need to push herself this hard? And Xiao Yebais appearance just now clearly indicated anger. Having rushed to the dormitory and then leaving in a huff, in such cold weather, he didnt even bother to wear his coat, they must have had an unpleasant altercation. It seemed that the problems between these two were quite serious. They hadnt reconciled even after so long. Teacher Chen, lets start the class. Mo Weiyis voice suddenly rang out. Chen Jins train of thoughts was interrupted, she smiled and went over to sit down. * * At this time, Su Wanwan was having a big meal with Huo Jingshen. It was still the Xiaoye Garden. As Huo Jingshen didnt like spicy food, an entire plate of chopped pepper fish head ended up in her stomach. Su Wanwans face turned red from all the eating, her mouth was greasy, she stuck out her little tongue, took large gulps of sour plum juice, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. She just loved spicy food. Eat slowly. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but take a tissue paper to wipe her mouth. This girl I feel like Im taking care of my daughter. While eating, Su Wanwan spoke up, Bai Ruwei and Zhexi are dating now, they even said theyre going to meet their parents this weekend, did you know about this? Huo Jingshen just hummed in response. So Su Wanwan then asked, What does your family say about it? Your family? Huo Jingshen looked at her, his long and deep black eyes slightly charming, Youre not part of our family, Mrs. Huo? Mrs. Huo coughed a couple times, What I meant was, will the grandparents agree? Why worry about that? Huo Jingshen answered casually, With a small brain like yours, you should worry less about other peoples affairs. Su Wanwan glared at him, suddenly losing her appetite, Youre the one with a small brain! Putting down her chopsticks, Im not eating anymore! Just as Huo Jingshen was about to speak, a cell phone ringtone sounded. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone, Xihan. Xihan? Isnt that Fu Ziyangs father, Fu Xihan? Su Wanwan was immediately watching him. However, there was no change in Huo Jingshens expression, after perfunctorily humming a few times, he hung up. Su Wanwan quickly asked, What did Fu Ziyangs dad say? Huo Jingshen looked at her again, annoyed, Ive noticed you really like to meddle in other peoples business. She curled up her fingers and knocked on the table, using a bossy tone: Hurry up and eat, after you finish Ill take you home. Oh. Su Wanwan obediently picks up her chopsticks. * * By the time she finished eating, it was already after eight in the evening. Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan back to school, and as the car stopped, his deep voice sounded, How many more days till exams? Next Monday. Hmm. Huo Jingshen thought for a moment and then his thin lips parted, Kiss your husband before you go. Su Wanwan blinks her eyes, lifts her little face, and brings her lips closer. She originally wanted to kiss his cheek, but when she got closer No kissing on the cheek. Su Wanwan: Her eyes fell down, landing on his thin lips. It has to be said that her husband is really handsome. His eyes are deep, his nose is high, his face is perfect, and even his lips are that sexy diamond shape, thin, and look so kissable. Su Wanwan slowly leaned in and pressed her lips against his, stealing a kiss, then pulled away. There didnt seem to be much reaction on his face. Suddenly, Su Wanwan leaned in and kissed him again. Huo Jingshens dark eyes narrowed slightly, butthere still wasnt any significant reaction. This was quite rare for him. Su Wanwan looked at him, an impulse coming over her, she raised her hands onto his shoulders and leaned in again. As a result Su Wanwan closed her eyes and couldnt help but want to laugh. She thought he had actually changed, unmoved. Unexpectedly. She suddenly understood what it felt like to be the aggressive one, it actually felt quite fulfilling. Why are you so passionate today, baby? Su Wanwan came up with an excuse, You gave me ten thousand dollars, I can take the initiative, this is a bonus, understand? Bonus? Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, Is this it? Shouldnt it be No! Im going back to sleep with Weiyi. Su Wanwan immediately cut him off. Upon hearing the name Mo Weiyi, Huo Jingshens previously pleased face immediately grew cold, Is she a giant baby? Shes twenty years old, still needing you to sleep with her every day? Can you not be so unpleasant when you speak? Su Wanwan subconsciously protected her best friend, She is having a cold war with Xiao, and shes already upset, whats wrong with me sleeping with her? Huh. Huo Jingshens tone became even more mocking, If they can pass, they should, if they cant they should divorce, whats the point of having a cold war? Su Wanwan: Childish! Huo Jingshen directly labeled. Su Wanwan didnt feel like talking to him anymore, she stretched out her hand and pushed him away. Damn it. Huo Jingshens voice sounded again, Call the giant baby, you will sleep at home with me tonight, let her sleep by herself. Su Wanwan bit her lip, after a long while, she raised her beautiful phoenix eyes and glared at him fiercely, Exams are over next week, she will go home after the exams, cant you just bear it a few more days? Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: 491, change a hairstyle, and change a mood. Chapter 491: 491, change a hairstyle, and change a mood. How much longer will I have to endure this? Huo Jingshens handsome face darkened. To be honest, he was really having a hard time restraining himself. If it wasnt for the fact that the car was parked right in front of the school, which would raise eyebrows Su Wanwan, unsettled by his clearly dissatisfied look, could only say, Just a few more days. Please behave. Upon finishing, she even stroked his cheek in an attempt to soothe him. Huo Jingshen: . Su Wanwan loitered around the girls dormitory for a while until the heat in her face subsided before she went inside. Upon stepping out of the elevator, she saw the door to the next room wide open with lights pouring out of it. Uh, are those two finished now? Its been three hours, they should be done, right? Cough, cough Therefore, she walked straight in. Weiyi? Mo Weiyi was sitting at the desk studying. Upon hearing her, he mumbled a response without lifting his head. Su Wanwan looked around and found nothing amiss. The room had been tidied up, the bed was neat and tidy, showing no signs of the recent passionate encounter. Unable to rein in her curiosity, she asked, Wheres Mr. Xiao? He went back. Mo Weiyi replied, still gripping his black pen, the intensity in his gaze piercing. An intensity that was somewhat eerie. Oh, hes already gone? How did your conversation go? Su Wanwan moved closer. Mo Weiyis fingers paused for a moment, then he continued writing. Not so well? Not so well? Su Wanwan frowned, What does that mean? Finally lifting his face, Mo Weiyi flashed her a brilliant smile and asked, Wanwan, do you have any classes tomorrow afternoon? Tomorrow afternoon? Su Wanwan thought for a moment, I dont think so. Why? Mo Weiyi stroked his slightly curly long hair. My hair has grown too long. I want to get a haircut. Would you like to join me? Sure. Su Wanwan thought he just wanted a trim, but once they sat down at the VM hair salon, she heard Mo Weiyi say to Lili, I want to change to a short hairstyle. Please cut all my hair off. Lili froze, A short hairstyle? Su Wanwan was also stunned, Weiyi, what are you thinking? Dont you love your long hair? Ever since kindergarten, Mo Weiyi had always had beautiful long hair that reached his waist. He had never experimented with a short hairstyle, not even in recent years. Just the sight of his well-groomed, luxuriously abundant hair made one want to touch it the dazzling result of constant care and regular treatments to ensure its silky, shiny texture. And now he wanted to cut it all off? Wanwan, do you think I wouldnt look good with short hair? Mo Weiyi examined himself in the mirror. I think I would look quite nice since I have a small face. He was definitely right about this. Ones facial features become more prominent with a short hairstyle, and Mo Weiyi, with his small and delicate features, could pull off any hairstyle. But Miss Mo, your current hairstyle suits you perfectly and your hair quality is so good. Why do you want to cut it suddenly? Its such a waste. Lili started persuading her. As Mo Weiyis personal stylist for several years, Lili knew her quite well. Lets face it. If she went through with cutting her hair, our little princess might cry. Right, Weiyi. Please dont be impulsive. Im afraid youll regret it after your hair is cut. Its okay. If I regret it, I can always use hair extensions. Mo Weiyi showed a nonchalant attitude, Lili, lets get started. Wait. Su Wanwan arrived in front of the mirror, furrowing her brows. Weiyi, did something upset you? What did Mr. Xiao say to you last night? Mo Weiyi gave a gentle smile. It has nothing to do with him. I just want to change my hairstyle, and perhaps my mood along with it. Whats wrong with your mood? And what do you mean it has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao? Who else could affect your mood? Mo Weiyi had often quarreled with Xiao Yebai before, but they would usually just drink to drown their sorrows and then quickly reconcile. This time, although the cold war had lasted a bit longer, she hadnt expected it to reach the point where Mo Weiyi would cut her hair short. She couldnt help but recall a TV drama she had seen before. When a womans heart is broken by a man, she becomes a nun, cutting off her long locks to keep company with the dim light cough, cough. Mo Weiyi smiled, Youre overthinking it. It really has nothing to do with him. At most, he was just an external factor. Looking at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath. Lili, go ahead. Lili held the scissors, making sure once again, Miss Mo, are you sure you want to cut it? Once its cut, theres no turning back. Are you sure you dont want to reconsider? No reconsideration. Mo Weiyi gripped her hands. Go ahead. Su Wanwan quickly added, Dont cut it too short. I think shoulder-length would be good enough. Mo Weiyi, . At Su Wanwans suggestion, Lili immediately said, Yes, Miss Mo, just keep your hair at shoulder length. Semi-long hair is trendy nowadays and it will accentuate your elegance more. If its too short, it would look too tomboyish. Im sure you wouldnt like it. What do you think? The two coaxingly persuaded her, leaving Mo Weiyi with no choice but to compromise, Alright then, Ill follow your advice. Only then did Su Wanwan feel relieved as she went back to her seat on the couch. Lili took up the scissors, started cutting Mo Weiyis hair, curling it, doing the hair care The whole process took almost four hours. Thats how an afternoon passed by. Finally. Done. Lili undid the gown around Mo Weiyi. Mo Weiyi looked at herself in the mirror and then stood up, Wanwan, does it look good? Su Wanwan nodded, It does. The color hasnt changed, it was still the honey tea color, shoulder length, soft and voluminous, curls just right. If the past Mo Weiyi with longer curly hair looked like a pretty sweet little princess, soft and cute at first glance. Then this new hairstyle elevated her whole temperament, chic with a fresh feel, and there was an added hint of mature femininity compared to before. Anyway, any hairstyle requires a good-looking face. And it was very obvious that this hairstyle was quite a success. Mo Weiyi was also very satisfied with her new hairstyle. Actually, when she decided to cut her hair, she had some hesitations, but now she feels entirely accepting of it. Feeling happy, she took her phone and snapped a photo to send in the WeChat group. [Little Huanhuan, do you think my new hairstyle looks good? Quickly say it does!] Su Wanwan was speechless. Shi Huan replied quickly, [It does!] Mo Weiyi was even more proud, [Quickly say Im super beautiful!] Shi Huan accorded face and replied again, [Super Beautiful!] * * What are you looking at? Why are you so happy? In the patients room, watching Shi Huan smiling foolishly at her phone, Young Master Chu couldnt resist asking. Shi Huan put down the smile on her lips and got up to clear the fruit tray. Was Chu a pig? He just finished a whole tray of mangoes? I asked you a question. Who are you chatting with? Young Master Chu was discontented with her attitude. She is already his girlfriend, why is she still so indifferent towards her boyfriend? Shi Huan had to explain, Miss Mo just changed her hairstyle. We were talking about it. Do you want to see it too? Chu Xiuhuang, who was trying to make conversation, nodded after hearing this, Show me. Shi Huan sent the selfie Mo Weiyi took to him. Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone and glanced at it. Shi Huan looked at him, Doesnt she look beautiful? Not bad. Chu Xiuhuang put down his phone. Shi Huan: Thats it? Shouldnt he supposed to look at it intensively, so intensively that he couldnt take his eyes off of it? I think this hairstyle would really suit you. Your hair length is almost the same. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly mentioned. Shi Huan was stunned for a moment, then she gave a dry laugh, Im going to wash the dishes. Chu Xiuhuang was leaning on the hospital bed, crossing one leg over the other, the long legs swinging leisurely. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, his phoenix eyes squinted, his tongue slowly pressed against his cheek, a slight wicked smile on his face. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who would have such a frustrated boyfriend? Theyve confirmed their relationship for several days, yet he still had to be so respectful towards his girlfriend? If this gets out, wouldnt his brothers laugh him to death? No! Theres no better day than the present. Today, he must advance their relationship! Chu Xiuhuang secretly made up his mind. So when Shi Huan came out after washing the dishes, Young Master Chu immediately began issuing commands, Little Huanhuan, your bosss shoulders are a little sore. Come over and massage me. Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: 492, what to do if girlfriend loves money too much? Chapter 492: 492, what to do if girlfriend loves money too much? Shi Huan frowned, Mr. Chu, should I call the nurse for you? Why do you need to call the nurse? Isnt your shoulder sore? You can massage it for me. I dont know how to. I dont mind. I really dont know how to. Why are you so bothersome! Youre even making a fuss just about a shoulder massage? Saying that, Chu Xiuhuang furrowed his brows, Ten thousand yuan per massage. Alright. After Shi Huan responded, she immediately put down the fruit plate, walked over to the bedside, and even rolled up her sleeves. Chu Xiuhuang: A handsome face twitched slightly in surprise. What to do when your girlfriend loves money too much? Im quite eager to find out. Before he could react, he had already been flipped over. Shi Huan said, Mr. Chu, you should lie down, its more convenient that way. Fine. Well, well talk after the massage then. His girlfriend is rarely giving him a massage. Chu Xiuhuangs gaze swept casually over her face, then obediently lay down on the hospital bed. Shi Huan stood by the bed, and with ten thousand yuan in mind, started to seriously massage him. Mm, Chu Xiuhuang sighed in satisfaction, Little Huanhuan, could you also massage my back? Alright. Shi Huan moved both hands down, placing them on his back, pressing firmly along his spine. Her hands were small and her strength weak, it felt like a feather brushing gently against his heart. Move a little lower. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said. Shi Huan, unaware of any impropriety, obediently moved her hand down by two inches. She had barely started when A little lower. Shi Huan had no choice but to move her hand down another two inches. A little lower. Shi Huan darkened her face, withdrew her hand completely, Mr. Chu, are you teasing me? Any lower and she would be touching places she shouldnt be touching! Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice, Cant I have a sore waist? Cant you just massage my waist for me? Shi Huan ignored him and turned to leave, but barely took a step before her wrist was grabbed and she was forcefully yanked backwards. He exerted too much strength, and her entire body lost balance, she was about to fall backwards. Chu Xiuhuang had imagined himself as the male lead in a drama, catching the female lead But when Shi Huan was falling, she was panicking and terrified, and in her confusion could only feel her head landing in a mans arms, with her hands gripping tightly out of fear. The hospital room instantly fell silent. Until Shit! Chu Xiuhuang blurted out. Shi Huan quickly turned around. She was slightly stunned, Sorry, Mr. Chu, I didnt do it on purpose. Little Huanhuan. Chu Xiuhuang said through gritted teeth, Dodo you know what you just did? Great! Ill go find the doctor. After Shi Huan finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the room. Chu Xiuhuang was left stupefied: Great? What the hell, Little Huanhuans reaction really didnt make any sense. And what was that expression? So happy? Was she really that happy that he was recovering? He couldnt help cursing in his heart again. What a fucking disappointment! He was so pathetic. How was he going to keep this hidden now? Soon enough, Shi Huan called in Dr. Nangong Chu, who was clad in a white lab coat. It was evident that Shi Huan was very excited, her voice even trembling, Dr. Nangong, could you quickly check Mr. Chu, is he recovered? Nangong Chu thought to himself, of course he is recovered, Chu Xiuhuang never actually had any problem to begin with. Shi Huan enthusiastically closed the room door, drew the curtain, and nodded respectfully, Dr. Nangong, Ill leave it to you. After that, she turned and sat down on the sofa, quietly waiting. About twenty minutes later, Nangong Chu came out from behind the curtain. Shi Huan hurriedly stepped forward, Dr. Nangong, how is he? Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes to scrutinize her expression. Nangong Chu said, He has indeed recovered, but Only what? Shi Huan rushed to ask. Then, Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened, and he said directly, Only he hasnt fully recovered yet, and still needs Little Huanhuan to take good care of him. Shi Huans eyebrows knitted together in an instant, How could this be, just now Just now might have been a temporary improvement. Nangong Chu spoke quickly. Shi Huan: Ahem. Chu Xiuhuang hinted, Doctor, you can go now. Nangong Chu nodded and hastily turned around. Once she left, Shi Huan immediately asked, Mr. Chu, Is this doctor really up to the task? The doctor, with a babyface as if she was just playing around, was only an intern according to her files. She was just twenty-two this year. Probably she got in through the backdoor since this hospital is owned by the Nangong Family. It was hard to trust her. Mr. Chu, I suggest we find a more mature, male doctor? You want a man to treat me? Chu Xiuhuang retorted. Shi Huan frowned, A man thats okay, right? Its not okay. Chu Xiuhuang glared at her, What are you thinking? You want your boyfriend to be laughed at by the male doctors in the hospital? Shi Huan nearly choked on her own saliva, Boyfriend? What the hell? And why would they laugh at him? Chu Xiuhuangs lips formed a thin line, quite arrogantly, Of course, you could call me hubby in advance if you like. After saying that, disregarding Shi Huans surprised face, he raised his eyebrows, and seductively winked at her, How about you call me hubby first so I can have a listen? Though Shi Huan always had a formal demeanor and seemed all-business, her voice was quite sweet. If she called out hubby, it would certainly sound sweet to the bone. Who would have known Mr. Chu, do you have a fever? After saying that, Shi Huan reached out and touched Chu Xiuhuangs forehead. It wasnt hot. When she tried to pull her hand back, Chu Xiuhuang held onto it, Yes, I do have a fever, a high one, Little Huanhuan. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her and blurted, Be my woman. Shi Huan, however, thought he was going crazy again. She forcefully pulled her hand back, Mr. Chu, can you stop joking around? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face instantly sank again, Whats going on with you, didnt we agree already? Youll be my woman, and take care of me in the future. Mr. Chu. Shi Huan only felt a headache coming on, I told you, youll definitely get better. Im not better now. Youll definitely get better in the future, I mean you were fine just now, werent you? I dont care, just remember that you have to take responsibility for me, youre my woman from now on. Mr. Chu, I cant agree to that. Why not? Shi Huan looked at him, bit her lip, and didnt speak for a long time. Seeing her struggling, Chu Xiuhuang felt a soft spot in his heart, Do you think youre not good enough for me? Shi Huan nodded in accordance with his words, Yes, Mr. Chu, youre such an exceptional, perfect man, I really dont deserve you. So you should look for someone better. I dont mind. Chu Xiuhuang began to laugh, and didnt forget to comfort her, Actually, youre quite good, with a little dressing up, youre totally presentable. Shi Huan: I appreciate it. Chu Xiuhuang continued, Im sorry, I underestimated you before, your figure is actually quite good. But who can blame me? Youre always bundled up so tightly. I dont have x-ray vision to discover your hidden treasures. Shi Huan again: Chu Xiuhuangs pair of gleaming eyes were thieves as he looked at her, When you wore that black dress, you were quite Mr. Chu. Shi Huan couldnt help but interrupt him. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and in a monotone voice, said, Can you be serious? After being a secretary for five years, shed practiced her patience the same amount, yet she was still almost caught off guard by his words. I am serious. Chu Xiuhuang stretched out both hands, All in all, Im quite satisfied with you. Shi Huan chose to turn around and walk away, Mr. Chu, you need to cool down. His hands froze in mid-air. Chu Xiuhuang frowned, Where are you going now? The response to his question was the slam of the closing door. Chu Xiuhuang: This damn woman, running away like a bunny. She really ran fast! * * Shi Huan went straight to Nangong Cis office. As soon as she opened the door she said, Deputy Director, I request a change of doctor for Mr. Chu. Why? Nangong Ci raised his eyebrows. Mr. Chu has been hospitalized for a month now, and every time we ask about his condition, Dr. Nangong is vague. If your hospital cant make Mr. Chu recover, Ill consider transferring him to another hospital. Nangong Ci: Wait, was she threatening him? After pausing for a moment, Nangong Ci asked seriously, Whats going on between you and my second brother in the ward? Shi Huan was startled, she opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself. Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: 493, can money make Little Huanhuan turn the mill? Chapter 493: 493, can money make Little Huanhuan turn the mill? Shi Huan paused, wanting to speak but then deciding against it. Hm? Nangong Ci raised an eyebrow with a clear mischief in his peach blossom eyes. Shi Huan had no choice but to tactfully say, Earlier, I wasnt paying attention and he justjustyou know what I mean, right? The rest of the sentence wasnt necessary; as a man, and furthermore a doctor, he should be able to understand, right? Sure enough. Oh, so thats what happened. Nangong Ci managed to stifle his laughter with effort, No wonder, but Secretary Shi, you dont have to worry. This situation is quite normal. It still needs further observation. More observation? What do you mean? Yes. What I mean is, you can help The Second Brother more Shi Huan: ??? Help with what? Seemingly noticing her confusion, Nangong Ci bluntly clarified. After finishing, he summarized in the manner of a seasoned driver, Ahem, anyway, you should understand. As a result, Shi Huan left with a flushed face. ** After cooling down in the hallway for a while and returning to the ward, she found that Chu Xiuhuang had already changed out of his hospital gown and was dressed in darker casual clothes, seemingly getting ready to go out. Shi Huan quickly asked him, Mr. Chu, are you going out tonight? What about dinner? Im going home with you. Chu Xiuhuang gazed at her, thumb gently stroking his index finger. His slightly squeezed eyes revealed a debonair charm. Its a holiday today. I dont want to spend it alone in a hospital room. Shi Huan frowned. Indeed, today was Laba Festival, but Mr. Chu, I dont celebrate the holidays and I dont have time to make Laba porridge. If you want to celebrate, I could call the old man Who said I want Laba porridge? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted, handing her the car keys directly. Lets go. But Chu Xiuhuangs long brows furrowed slightly. Will 10,000 yuan do? okay. Shi Huan quickly grabbed her coat and headed out. Chu Xiuhuang: Damn it, is it really that easy? So money can make Shi even grind mills? ** Shi Huan first went to pick up Little Luoluo. Shortly before arriving at the school, she called the little girl, and when the car stopped in front of the school gate, she saw the little girl was already waiting. There were also several other little bun shaped children in puffy jackets waiting for their parents. As soon as Shi Huan got out of the car, she realized that Chu Xiuhuang had followed her out. Mr. Chu, you Before she could finish her sentence, a chorus of little voices chimed in. Shi Luoluo, is this your dad? Your dad came to pick you up after school! Wow, your dad is so handsome. He looks just like you! Shi Huan was speechless. Are five-year-olds so gossipy these days? As for Shi Luoluo, she was tilting her little head, scrutinizing Chu Xiuhuang. Does this uncle look a lot like her? Where was the resemblance? Hi, kids. Chu Xiuhuang had come up and waved his hand, smiling at the little crowd. His gaze was electric and radiated charm. But things quickly took a turn. Handsome uncle, did you come with Sister Huanhan to pick up Shi Luoluo from school? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened. His eyes fixed unerringly on the chubby boy who spoke, his voice cold and serious. What did you call me? What did this bear child say? If it wasnt for the fact that Shi Huan was standing next to him, he would fucking kick him. Why call Shi Sister Huan, but him Uncle? Handsome Uncle even? Chu Xiuhuang hated most when people said he looked pretty. It was absolutely emasculating! The chubby boy had no idea Chu Xiuhuang could change his face so quickly, from charming to menacing. It scared him so much his chubby face turned white, then Waaa, Teacher! Teacher, Im scared! Quick, come here, waaaa! He was straight-up frightened into crying. Shi Huan hurried over and pulled Chu Xiuhuang away, Mr. Chu, what are you doing? Why are you bullying a child? So, youre sticking up for another man over your boyfriend? Chu Xiuhuang turned to glare at Shi Huan, clearly unhappy. Shi Huan felt a headache coming on. Mr. Chu, can you stop joking around? After all the kissing and touching, youre trying to deny it now? Chu Xiuhuang squinted his long phoenix eyes and suddenly leaned in to whisper threateningly, Believe it or not, Ill kiss you right now. Ill kiss you breathless. Shi Huans heart skipped a beat and she quickly pushed him away. Meanwhile, Little Luoluo who had been off to the side was so flabbergasted. Boyfriend? Was this uncle Shi Huans boyfriend? ** Once the chubby boy was comforted, they returned to the car. Little Luoluo sat quietly in the back seat, lost in thought. Shi Huan drove in silence too. Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone and began to chat away. First, he blew up the WJY group chat. [What are you guys planning for the holiday tonight?] Soon, the chat was lively. Nangong Ci: [Going home to eat dinner with the old lady.] Gu Huaian: [Taking Haohao to Pizza Hut.] Nangong Ci: [Gu, are you addicted to being a dad?] Lu Chenyu: [More like a Milk Daddy.] Gu Huaian: [] Chu Xiuhuang: [@Huo Jingshen, where are you bro? Are you playing the mysterious card 24/7?] Huo Jingshen didnt respond at all. Ming Jing: [The bro must be busy.] Chu Xiuhuang: [Busy making babies at this hour?] Nangong Ci: [A beast, obviously!] Lu Chenyu: [Heh.] Chu Xiuhuang: [Only Big Bro and I are not single in this group. The rest of you four need to get going. Dont hold back the group, got it?] Gu Huaian: [The fuck, when did you get a girlfriend?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Im on a date with my girlfriend right now. We are going to spend the festival together tonight. At around eight oclock, I will post pictures on my circle of friends. Please like and comment on time. Especially @Huo Jingshen] Everyone: [] ** Half an hour later. Shi Huan drove straight into the residential area. Chu Xiuhuang asked seriously, Dont we need to buy groceries? Shi Huan glanced at him, opened the car door, and responded, I bought a lot of vegetables yesterday since it was the weekend, we have enough. Oh. After getting out of the car, the three of them entered the building. The elevator had just arrived. Once they stepped in, they realized there were also two other people inside. An elderly woman began to warmly greet Shi Huan when she saw her, then looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Huanhuan, who is this gentleman? Hes my boss, Shi Huan answered promptly. Chu Xiuhuang immediately shot her a displeased look. Shi Huan pressed the button for the 9th floor and ignored him. The elderly woman inquired again, How tall is this young man? Shi Huan responded, Hes 1.88 meters tall. Hearing this, Chu Xiuhuangs face softened slightly. She remembered his height so clearly, yet she said she didnt want to be his girlfriend? She says one thing but means another! What a little liar! What does this young man do for a living? Shi Huan continued to answer, He works in investment. The old lady asked again, If hes involved in investments, it must pay well; Upon further inspection of Chu Xiuhuang, he was tall and handsome. Despite wearing casual clothing, you could tell that it was expensive. His watch on his left hand alone mustve cost millions. His aura was simply indescribable. In all her years, she had rarely seen a man so attractive and sophisticated. No wonder Shi Huan always brushed her off when she tried to introduce her to potential boyfriends, claiming that she was focusing on work and didnt want to talk about relationships. It was all because she didnt think they were of her standards. The elderly woman cackled to herself as she watched Shi Huan leave with Chu Xiuhuang and little Luoluo. As soon as the elevator doors closed, she turned to her daughter-in-law and said, That young lady isnt honest at all! Shes too vain! Her daughter-in-law: ** Little did Shi Huan know that she was being denounced as a vain woman back at the elevator. After opening the door, Chu Xiuhuang eyed the pair of large and small pink slippers at the entrance, Where are my slippers? Wait a minute. Shi Huan changed into her slippers and went in. She took out the mans slippers that Chu Xiuhuang had brought last time from the bag. Chu Xiuhuang was not satisfied and looked at her, What do you mean by putting my slippers away? Shi Huan thought to herself that it was good enough she hadnt thrown them away. She walked directly to the kitchen, Im going to cook dinner. Chu Xiuhuang watched as little Luoluo also followed her into the kitchen and promptly shut the door. How mysterious. He took a glance and walked to the living room sofa like the man of the house. Shall we eat dinner together with Uncle? Little Luoluo asked Shi Huan in a soft voice, standing by the sink in the kitchen. Shi Huan looked at the little girl, Dont worry, I will cook extra dishes. She remembered the last time Chu Xiuhuang came over and wolfed down nearly sixty dumplings, and assumed the little girl was worried about him stealing her food again. Little Luoluo asked again, Is Uncle going to eat dinner with us every day from now on? No. But, he said he was your boyfriend. The teacher said that boyfriends and girlfriends should live together. Little Luoluo stated with certainty. Huh? Shi Huan was somewhat flabbergasted. What kind of teacher was this? Why was he talking about such adult topics in front of children? Huanhuan, if you live with Uncle, can I still live here? Will Uncle kick me out? The worried little girl finally voiced the concerns shed been harboring the whole time. Shi Huan never expected the young girl to be this perceptive. She immediately reassured her, Firstly, hes not my boyfriend. Secondly, no one will kick you out. This is my home and Im your sister. So, Luoluo, you can live here for as long as you want. Dont worry! Little Luoluo was elated and pursed her lips into a delighted smile. Huanhuan, youre the best. I like you the most. Behave, go do your homework now, Shi Huan told her. Okay. ** After Chu Xiuhuang finished his call and returned to the living room, he saw little Luoluo concentrating on her homework. He immediately went forth and tried to get her attention, Is there anything youre unable to do? Brother can teach you. With her head hung low, little Luoluo ignored him. Kid, your brother is talking to you. Little Luoluo continued ignoring him. Displeased, Chu Xiuhuang furrowed his eyebrows. Whats the matter with this kid? She looks adorable, yet why is she so impolite? He reached out to tug at her little arm. Shi Luoluo finally stopper her writing and looked up. Her pure, innocent eyes encountered his. Pulling out her earbuds, she asked, Uncle? Chu Xiuhuang: So it turns out she had earbuds in the whole time. Coughing twice, he cleared his throat, seeking to restore some sense of propriety. Call me Brother. Shi Luoluo pursed her lips, But Huanhuan said youre not her boyfriend. Your sister is lying. She really likes me. Shes been crushing on me since before you were born. Shes just too shy to admit it. Chu Xiuhuang shamelessly retorted. A somewhat baffled Shi Luoluo looked at him. Anyway, Ill be your brother-in-law in the future. So, you have to call me either brother or brother-in-law. Understand? Chu Xiuhuang believed that in order to pursue Shi Huan, he had to win over this little girl first. So he took out his phone, Lets add each other on WeChat first. Shi Luoluo frowned, Huanhuan wont let me use my phone when Im doing my homework. We can play secretly and not tell her. Chu Xiuhuang took the initiative to grab her little backpack, found her mini-phone inside, turned on WeChat, and scanned his QR code. Its settled! However. The little girls WeChat profile picture was an unfiltered selfie. It must have been taken in the summer. She was wearing a cute pink dress and smiling at the camera in the photo. Chu Xiuhuang took another look at his own WeChat profile picture. Tsk, unexpectedly, this little girl was as vain and confident as him, both preferring to use unfiltered selfies as their profile pictures. He immediately sent over a red envelope, I just sent you a 200 RMB red envelope. Little Luoluo was shocked, A red envelope? This handsome profile picture is your brother-in-law. Chu Xiuhuang pointed at his handsome profile picture on WeChat. Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: 494, when the money is in place, everything can be discussed. Chapter 494: 494, when the money is in place, everything can be discussed. From now on, if you need anything or money, just go straight to your brother-in-law. Hes got plenty of money! We dont lack money! Little Luoluo: * * When dinner was almost ready, Shi Huan suddenly heard the doorbell. By the time she came out, Chu Xiuhuang was already arranging for people to do things. Seeing the two deliverymen carrying in a rectangular sofa, Shi Huan hurriedly asked, Chu Xiuhuang, what are you buying this for? Its yours. I dont need it. This sofa is too big, and theres nowhere to put it in the house. There were only her and little Luoluo at home. Where did they need such a big sofa? Its already been delivered, and Ive paid for it. It cant be returned. Do you want to throw it away? A sofa worth five hundred thousand; are you sure you want to just throw it away? So reckless? Chu Xiuhuang fired a series of questions. A five hundred thousand sofa? Shi Huan was almost knocked out by this number, Chu Xiuhuang, this sofa is too expensive, I really You go cook, Ill handle this. Chu Xiuhuang impatiently waved her away, then began to order the deliverymen, Hurry up and bring it in, be careful not to hit the coffee table. Shi Huan: Returning to the kitchen, she soon ran out again, Then what should I do with my small sofa? Throw it. I bought it from a second-hand market for over a thousand! Ill give you ten thousand later. Shi Huan once again: Well, money does talk. ** After finally finishing cooking, Shi Huan brought out the meals and placed them on the coffee table. Chu Xiuhuang, dinners ready. Eat fast and leave fast! Little Luoluo picked up her chopsticks, and just as she was about to clasp a rib Wait! Little Luoluo was startled. Shi Huan watched as Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone and took a click picture of the four dishes and one soup on the table. Okay, you can eat now. Shi Huan was speechless, she picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of rib into little Luoluos bowl. Eat quickly. Chu Xiuhuang directly posted the photo on his social media. The photo showed four dishes and one soup: sweet and sour ribs, Kung Pao shrimp balls, okra with oyster sauce, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and seaweed egg drop soup. The caption read: Loving dinner cooked by my girlfriend. His friends quickly began to give thumbs up and comment. Ming Jing: [Second brother got a girlfriend?] Nangong Ci: [The one I know?] Ming Jing: [Who?] Nangong Ci: [Not telling you.] Gu Huaian: [Okra?] Nangong Ci: [Tsk, okra is good stuff, nourishes yin and yang, very nutritional.] Lu Chenyu: [Garlic okra is delicious.] Nangong Ci: [Chenyu, you just sour. Second brother is supposed to have intimate contact with his girlfriend, how could he possibly eat garlic?] Lu Chenyu: [Hehe.] After Chu Xiuhuang looked at them, he directly sent a message to Huo Jingshen, [Quick, look at my social media.] Huo Jingshen: [?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Quickly, no comments means youre not my brother!] A few seconds later, Huo Jingshen replied to the post with two words, [Childish!] That old buzzard! Just be jealous! ** After finishing the meal, Shi Huan immediately said, Chu Xiuhuang, are you going back by yourself, or should I drive you? Whats the hurry? I want to watch the financial news. Help me turn on the TV. Chu Xiuhuang, you can watch it at the hospital as well. Shi Huan said, but she still turned on the TV. Chu Xiuhuang didnt say anything, seeming to be very focused on the TV. Shi Huan had no choice but to return to the kitchen and start doing the washing up. Chu Xiuhuangs eyes were on the TV, but his thoughts also followed her into the kitchen. What a virtuous girlfriend! Shi Huan didnt come out again until half an hour later, and looking at the time, she said, Chu Xiuhuang, Ill take you home now, little Luoluo needs to take a bath and go to bed soon. You help her bathe first, dont worry about me, I want to finish watching this news. Chu Xiuhuang was glued to the TV. Okay. Shi Huan took little Luoluo into the bathroom. Chu Xiuhuang sat in the living room, and after a while, he finally heard the sound of rain outside. He got up and went to the balcony. When she opened the window, sure enough, there was a torrential rain outside. The rain was quite heavy, and soon, the curtain of rain covered everything, with a hazy and blurred view which made it hard to even see clearly. It seldom rained this heavily in Nancheng during winter. Chu Xiuhuang nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the time. It was eight fifty in the evening. The Chief of the Meteorological Bureau worked efficiently. The promised artificial rainfall had started before nine oclock. Quite dependable. ** At nine oclock, the bathroom door opened and a little girl, Little Luoluo, dressed in a small floral nightgown, walked out adorably. Shi Huan was following behind her. Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice. Before Shi Huan could speak, he took the initiative and said, Its raining heavily outside, so I decided to stay here for tonight. Shi Huan looked surprised and glanced at the balcony, Really? Its raining? Yes, the rain is really heavy, and its so dark outside, its dangerous to drive. If you dont believe it, you can check for yourself. Chu Xiuhuang added after hed finished speaking, Rest assured, I wont sleep at your house for free. Ten thousand for a night, how about that? Its not about money. My apartment is just too small, it only has one bedroom, theres honestly nowhere free for you to sleep, Shi Huan explained. I could just sleep on this sofa. Chu Xiuhuang patted the sofa, You just need to get me a blanket and a pillow. Shi Huan looked at him suspiciously, Mr. Chu, are you pulling my leg? Was it simply a coincidence that hed adamantly stayed, planned upon staying overnight, bought a big sofa, and even checked the weather forecast ahead? It all seemed too convenient! What are you saying? Can I predict the future? Am I some kind of Immortal? Seeing the young woman still has an unhappy face, obviously the money was not enough. Chu Xiuhuang gritted his teeth and pulled out his trump card, One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand dollars for one night here; how about it? Well okay then, agreed Shi Huan, who once again couldnt resist the money. Just for him to sleep on her living room sofa for one night, she would get one hundred thousand dollars. Who wouldnt be tempted by that? Chu Xiuhuang picked up his bag, smiling in satisfaction. As expected, with the right price, everything was negotiable. Im going to take a shower now. Okay. After getting into the bathroom, Chu Xiuhuang looked around. The space was not big. Fortunately, there was a bathtub and a shower. As Little Luoluo had just taken a bath, the room smelled faintly of bathing gel. All kinds of toiletries on the shelf were clearly meant for females. Chu Xiuhuang glanced around, took a toothbrush out of his bag, and put it in Shi Huans cup, taking a quick picture with his phone. He then put his towel next to Shi Huans and took another pic. He used her bathtub, shower, shampoo, body wash Finally, Chu Xiuhuang wrapped her towel around himself, looking in the mirror, he couldnt resist but took another photo. Yeah. ** After Shi Huan had put Little Luoluo to bed, she had brought a pillow and a blanket to the living room. While she was putting covers on the duvet, she kept glancing at the bathroom. What was going on with this Mr. Chu? Why was a grown man taking so long in the shower? Finally, she heard a click sound when the door was opened. Shi Huan turned around swiftly, only to almost get blinded. There Chu Xiuhuang stood, wrapped only in a small pink towel. His short, black hair, dripping wet, still steaming, water droplets falling down while he wiped his hair with a large towel. Shi Huans face turned red immediately. Not because she was shy, but because she was outraged. Mr. Chu, that was my towel you were using! So what? Chu Xiuhuang wiped his hair, looking confused. How can you just use someone elses stuff without asking? Thats so impolite! Shi Huan was trying to keep her voice down in fear of waking Little Luoluo, but as a result, her anger came out a little lacking. Youre my girlfriend, not someone else. Why cant a boyfriend use his girlfriends things? Chu Xiuhuang responded matter-of-factly, Plus, if I didnt use yours, should I use Little Luoluos? Hers is way too small. It would hardly cover my tall and handsome body, so were you expecting me to just come out naked? Shi Huan clenched her fist, her face was full of displeasure. Alright now, isnt it just a towel? Whats the big deal about using it? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, his eyes teasing, Youre so unwilling to let me use it? Shi Huan didnt answer. But the answer was very obvious. A towel was a very private personal item, which she used every day, and now, it was wrapped around him. Even just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable. Since you clearly dont want me to use it, then I wont. Chu Xiuhuang said, then suddenly yanked off the towel. Before Shi Huan had time to react, he had already taken off the towel and flung it carelessly onto the sofa. Filled with shock and surprise, she was frozen in silence, staring at him, not even realizing what had happened for several seconds. Until she turned around abruptly. There was a loud bang! in her head. Her face was burning up, especially when she heard the mans suppressed laughter. She closed her eyes for a moment. Gathering herself, she bowed her head and whispered fiercely, Mr. Chu, can you first Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: 495, for a hundred thousand dollars Chapter 495: 495, for a hundred thousand dollars Alright, alright. Chu Xiuhuang instantly interrupted her, his tone flippant and nonchalant, You already know about my sleeping habits. Shi Huan certainly knew about her bosss erratic sleeping patterns. After all, she had been his secretary for over five years. Even though he didnt interfere much in the business, they had traveled together on business trips before. Once, in her rush to wake him up in the morning, she almost saw him completely naked. And this time Shi Huan desperately shook her head, trying not to let her imagination run wild. To be honest, except for that time a few years ago, she hadnt had much contact with men in recent years. It was the first time she had directly and openly witnessed It was nothing less than a sight for sore eyes. Would she develop a sty in her eye when she woke up the next day? Shi Huan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, You get on the couch first? Cover yourself with a blanket? Little Huanhuan. The mans voice suddenly grew closer. Shi Huan was startled. Before she could react, she was abruptly embraced by him. She became so tense that she stiffened, Mr. Chu, what what are you doing? Nothing. Theres a child at home, what do you think I could possibly do? Even if I wanted to, I couldnt. Chu Xiuhuangs voice carried a hint of plaintiveness. He didnt have any real intention to do anything. After all, Little Luoluo was sleeping in the bedroom and the rooms soundproofing wasnt too great; the slightest noise could possibly wake the child. Disturbing the child was secondary; the main issue was that it could disrupt his indulgence. He wanted to make Shi Huan his, recognizing his intense and real desires for her, which was something he had rarely felt in all these years. But, even if he wanted to do something with her, definitely not in this situation, its too rash and not at all romantic. However As her boyfriend, he should be able to grant her some small privileges, right? Chu Xiuhuang lowered his head. She was much shorter than him. She was trembling slightly due to nervousness. Plus, because they were indoors and the heating was on, she was dressed thinly. When he held her against his chest with her back towards him, her small frame and delicate bones seemed custom-made for him. Holding her felt particularly comfortable. He lifted his slender fingers and swept her soft hair aside. Shi Huan flinched. Chu Xiuhuang had barely touched her ear when his arm was grabbed by sharp nails. Damn! he grumbled painfully, Be gentle. He hadnt expected Little Huanhuan to be such a wildcat. So ruthless. Ouch The next second. Mr. Chu! Let me go! Her sharp nails were digging into his skin, pushing against him, stopping his actions. Shi Huans reaction was not flirtatious, but more like she was feeling threatened. Even though her strength was insignificant and couldnt break free from his grip, her life-and-death attitude annoyed Chu Xiuhuang. It was as if he was forcing her And he, Chu Xiuhuang, absolutely disdain forcing women. His handsome face, shadowed by wickedness, darkened. He enveloped her within his arms, gave her a cold hard look, his voice filled with irritation, Whats wrong? Cant I just touch your ear? What era are we living in? What kind of man is as frustrated as me? Weve already established that were boyfriend and girlfriend; cant a boyfriend even touch his girlfriend? Hugging her or touching her ear would cause her to claw him like this? He looked down and saw the red welts she had left on his arm, even drawing blood! Damn! Seeing an opportunity, Shi Huan turned around, I am going to take a shower. She quickly grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom, closing the door with a bang. Chu Xiuhuang: What the hell! Did he really scare her that much? She fled so quickly? The man stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. * * Leaning against the bathroom door, Shi Huan took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. After a while As soon as she saw the washbasin She felt her temples throbbing. Shi Huan was left wanting to punch someone. There was a pair of mens black boxer shorts in the clean washbasin! The clothes rack held his discarded pants, shirt, socks etc. Even the towels and mugs, and even the toothbrush were all wet, as though they had been used! And an electric toothbrush that she didnt own was in the mug! A blue checkered towel that also wasnt hers was hanging on the rack. The bathroom was like it had been invaded; his strong presence was everywhere! Shi Huan took a deep breath, followed by another deep breath. She told herself to be patient, not to lose her temper. Ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan For that ten thousand yuan, she must endure! She just had to endure! She threw all his clothes into the washing machine and removed his toothbrush. After opening the ventilation fan, she finally felt a bit better. Yet, who knew that as she was taking a shower, she couldnt stop thinking about earlier Shi Huan vigorously shook her head. She was losing it! She had been spending too much time with Chu lately, she had even begun imitating his abnormal behavior. Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: 496, funding is burning, Chu Er is spending money to suffer. Chapter 496: 496, funding is burning, Chu Er is spending money to suffer. Finally out of the shower, Shi Huan spent quite some time getting ready for bed, listening carefully to the sounds outside her room. When she was certain that Chu Xiuhuang had fallen asleep, she finally opened the door and stepped out. But Chu Xiuhuang was not asleep at all! He sat there on the couch like a leopard waiting for the right moment to strike, his eyes slanted as he watched her intently. Caught off guard, Shi Huan was taken aback and stammered, Mr. Chu, youhowwhy Come and help me apply the medicine, said Chu Xiuhuang. Medicine? Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand. Considering how badly you scratched me, isnt it only fair that you help me with my wounds? Glancing at his arm, Shi Huan saw it covered with angry red cuts and scrapes, some of them even bleeding. The sight was horrifying. Did she did she do that bad? Hurry up! Shi Huan: Resigned, she squeezed her fingers and walked over, reaching under the coffee table to grab a simple first aid box. Opening it, she said, I only have bandages. She stood up. Should I go out and buy other stuff? Forget it, Chu Xiuhuang said with a dark expression. Bandages will do. Given how late it was, it seemed he still couldnt bear the thought of her heading out Chu Xiuhuang felt he had shown Shi Huan enough patience. Shi Huan, on the other hand, was secretly relieved, took out the bandages, squatted down, and started applying them to Chu Xiuhuangs injuries. As he sat there, his eyes once again rested upon her face. Under the bright lights of the living room, Shi Huan crouched by his legs, the large gray T-shirt she wore as a nightgown reaching almost to her knees, the collar tightly fitted, conservative to the point where it left no room for any views. Such a nuisance. His heart was overflooding with bitterness at the realization that clearly, she was guarded around him, even her nightgowns were this conservative. Because she had just bathed, Shi Huan was not wearing her glasses, which made her appear fresh and clean, a stark contrast of white teeth, red lips, and charming sweetness. His heart softened unexpectedly and he blurted out, Whats wrong with me? What exactly do you not like about me? Shi Huans fingers froze on the spot. Chu Xiuhuang continued, Im intelligent, wealthy, tall, handsome, and strong, completely capable of protecting you. Weve known each other for over seven years. Cant you Im done with the bandages, Shi Huan interrupted him, quickly packed up the first aid box, and stood up to leave, but he caught hold of her arm. Little Huanhuan, Chu Xiuhuang held her arm, gazing at her indifferent profile, for the first time in his life he spoke with both gentleness and patience, Wont you consider giving me a chance? I rarely take the initiative to pursue a girl like this. Over the years, you know Ive never Mr. Chu, its late, time to sleep, Shi Huan brushed off his hand, without lifting her head, she briskly entered the bedroom and shut the door behind her. Chu Xiuhuang: Looking at the time, it was after ten. He turned off the light, lay down on the couch, rest his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling. Why didnt Shi Huan like him when hes truly one of the best, even among his own friends? Over the years, she did not seem to be seeing anyone else. If she didnt fancy him, why did she always obey his commands? What held her back? Chu Xiuhuang was utterly perplexed. After a while, he wanted to turn over but discovered that although the sofa was big, it was still not very comfortable for sleeping, feeling crowded. The couch seemed to him neither wide nor soft enough, and it made a great deal of noise. Suddenly, he felt wronged. He spent a lot of money on something unnecessarily troublesome! Damn it, if it wasnt for you, why would I have to put up with this? From artificially caused rain to purchasing this extravagant sofa, spending large sums of money, just for a slight touch of her ear Looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Chu Xiuhuang made a firm resolution in his heart: Just wait, Little Huanhuan. Sooner or later, in the bedroom Im going to make you cry! * * Shi Huan, lying on the soft bed in the bedroom, was oblivious to the chaotic thoughts running through the mans mind outside. Little Luoluo was asleep. Listening to the little girls faint breathing, Shi Huan was nowhere near sleepy. She usually didnt go to sleep this early, but because Chu Xiuhuang was outside, she had nowhere to go and had no choice but to lay down in bed. Her phone suddenly lit up, breaking the darkness. Shi Huan quickly picked up to check it. A new message awaited on WeChat, Huanhuan, your aunt and I will be back to China next week. Her uncle was coming back? She felt a jerk of excitement, and she couldnt help but glance at Little Luoluo beside her. The little girl was asleep, her long, thick lashes falling on her delicate, almost transparent face, like tiny fans. What a beautiful little girl. Because they were sisters, they naturally looked somewhat similar. Yet, in Shi Huans view, Little Luoluo resembled him even more The phone lit up again. Are you asleep? Shi Huan quickly replied, Not yet. She thought he would send another message, but there was no further response. Shi Huan found herself staring at his profile picture, tapping to enlarge it. Gazing at the gentle and handsome face of the man in the picture, she slowly lost herself in thought. She had no memory of when she finally drifted off to sleep. Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: 497, Nightmare Revisited Chapter 497: 497, Nightmare Revisited Shi Huan, you have an affair with an old man, and now youre pregnant with his illegitimate child. How shameless are you? Youre only eighteen and youre already pregnant. You have no decency! Its utterly disgraceful! You have disgraced the Shi Family! You should just die, stop shaming us Shi Family! So embarrassing! The scene shifts, and she is lying on an operating table, covered in blood. Lights on the ceiling fly by swiftly as excruciating pain emanates from her abdomen, mingling with the cacophony of voices around her. We may not be able to save the baby! Prepare for surgery immediately! This is bad, the pregnant woman has lost a lot of blood, Doctor, Doctor! Shi Huan frowns deeply, her face ghostly pale. She gasps for breath continuously, her body trembles, as if immersed in extreme pain. This lasts until a voice, filled with anxiety, reaches her ears. Huanhuan, Huanhuan, Huanhuan! Shi Huan finally opens her eyes, discovering that shes covered in sweat, and a pair of small soft hands is gently shaking her shoulder, Huanhuan, youre finally awake, I was so scared Shi Huan quickly sits up on the bed, Sorry, Luoluo. I was having a nightmare, did I scare you? Yes. Answers little Luoluo honestly, her big beautiful eyes still teary, Huanhuan, I was scared. Dont be, its my fault. Shi Huan takes the little girl into her arms, comforting her. Its been a while since she dreamed about the past, why suddenly Is it because her little uncle is coming back? A bad feeling gradually took hold in Shi Huans heart. Huanhuan? Little Luoluo sniffs, asking her in a childish voice, Were you dreaming about a bad person? Shi Huan forces a smile, Its alright now, Luoluo. Dont be scared. She checks the time. Its only seven oclock in the morning. She decides to get up and starts to dress the little girl. Little Luoluo quickly calms down. She independently puts on her clothes and energetically announces, Huanhuan, I want to go to the bathroom! Okay, Ill take you there. Shi Huan helps little Luoluo out of bed and opens the bedroom door. Expecting to see a man on the living room couch, instead she finds a messy quilt pile on the couch with the man nowhere in sight. Did uncle leave? Asks little Luoluo, her tiny face full of curiosity. Shi Huan calls out hastily, Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu? Theres no response. She goes into the bathroom and finds that the mans clothes are gone. ** Its not until she finishes making breakfast that Shi Huan finally receives a message from Chu Xiuhuang. [Little Huanhuan, I had to leave due to an emergency. You dont have to come to the hospital to look after me for the next couple of days.] Shi Huan quickly asks, [What happened?] [My mom fell down the stairs and fractured her leg, she is in the hospital.] Shi Huan: Alright then. ** In the following days, Shi Huan goes back to work at the company. Being away for almost a month, she is extremely busy upon her return. Nobody asks her anything. Shi Huans ability to work and handle tasks is outstanding, and she gets along well with her coworkers. Probably because she is Chu Xiuhuangs private secretary and holds a high position in the company, nobody dares to push their jokes too far or gossip too much about her personal life. Sometimes, when a joke is casually made, Shi Huan shows no reaction, like shes immune to the toxicity. Over time, only a few subordinates in the secretarial department are close to her, while others hold her in high regard on the surface but talk behind her back in private. Of course, Shi Huan doesnt care about all these. However Over the past week, Chu Xiuhuang seems to have evaporated from the earth, not only did he not care about the companys affairs, he didnt even send any messages or calls. By the weekend, Shi Huan makes a call to Nangong Chu. She finds out that Chu Xiuhuang had been discharged from the hospital the day his mother was admitted. No wonder he stopped bothering her. It seems that he was just in a flight of fancy the night he confessed to her and asked for a chance. Now that hes recovered, he can resume his philandering habits, why would he still be interested in her? Shi Huan shakes her head, thinking that some people really cant change their nature. ** Certain someone, at this point, is boasting in a group chat. The photos he took in Shi Huans bathroom that night, he has been posting them in the WJY WeChat group over several days, a photo a day. At first, people were enthusiastic, expressing their surprise and envy. But on the fifth day, when Chu Xiuhuang posted a photo of all his clothes thrown into the washing machine, no one replied for a long time. He starts typing immediately, [My girlfriend volunteered to wash my clothes and trousers, do you guys have this kind of service too?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Do you? Do you?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Are you envious, jealous, and hateful?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Are you? Are you?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Where is everybody?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Damn it!] Chu Xiuhuang: [Youre all pretending to be dead, arent you?] Chu Xiuhuang: [@everyone.] Finally. Nangong Ci: [Are you sure she helped you wash your trousers and didnt just dump them all in the trash bin?] Chu Xiuhuang: Damn it, the day he woke up, he indeed found all his underwear in the trash bin. Thinking about Shi Huan, Chu Xiuhuangs happy mood suddenly vanishes. He is furious. This damn woman, she hasnt contacted him for several days? His mothers hospitalization kept him busy for a few days, he intentionally wanted to ignore her, he didnt send any messages or make any calls, thinking that she would soon be restless and contact him on her own, since women usually say one thing and mean another. However, who could have expected This woman actually showed no reaction at all! And according to the manager of the operations department, shes already back at work. Damn it. In a fit of anger, Chu Xiuhuang posts in the group chat, [Who wants to come to my house? There are some good-quality girls here lately, free of charge!] Ming Jing: [Second brother, arent you on a date with your girlfriend on the weekend?] Chu Xiuhuang: [Stop talking, are you coming or not?] Nangong Ci: [I have a surgery this afternoon, I cant get away!] Ming Jing: [Theres a family dinner tonight, I cant get away!] Lu Chenyu: [Me] Nangong Ci: [I knew it, the second brother really loves the fourth brother.] Lu Chenyu: [Not going.] Chu Xiuhuang: [Damn it, cant you type your whole sentence in one go?] Nangong Ci: [Hahahahaha!] Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: 498, are you bullying him because he doesn’t have a girlfriend? Chapter 498: 498, are you bullying him because he doesnt have a girlfriend? Chu Xiuhuang: [What the hell are you busy with on the freaking weekend, fourth brother?] Lu Chenyu: [Catching up on new episodes.] Nangong Ci: [Fourth Brother, youre such a homebody! No wonder youre still single at the ripe old age of twenty-five!] Lu Chenyu is indeed a homebody, with his greatest pleasure being researching various recipes, playing with dogs, binge-watching dramas, following doujinshi, playing with LEGO, gaming Even when hanging out with people, he still remains silent and aloof, like a silent gourd. Chu Xiuhuang was furious, [Your national leaders arent as busy as you guys! @Huo Jingshen] After pinging someone several times, Huo Jingshen finally replied, [Having dinner with old Gu. Ping me again, and Im leaving the group.] Gu Huaian: [Are you coming, Chu Second?] Just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to reply Gu Huaian: [No girlfriends allowed.] Chu Xiuhuang: Damn it! Was everyone making fun of him because he didnt have a girlfriend? He quickly replied, [Tell me the address. Ill bring her!] Soon, Gu Huaian threw an address at him. It was the Nancheng Grand Hotel in the city center, where you can watch Beijing Opera and listen to dramas. Many celebrities have had their weddings there in recent years, so its quite famous. Damn, they really knew how to enjoy life. Chu Xiuhuang immediately forwarded the address to Shi Huan, and then sent a message, [Meet me here in half an hour.] After Shi Huan replied with a Okay, Young Master Chu perked up, his mood finally improving. Well, as a man, he should be the active one. Girls are shy, which is understandable. Hmm. ** In the private room of the Nancheng Hotel at this moment. Gu Huaian put down his phone, Ahuang is coming with his girlfriend in a bit. Oh? Huo Jingshen was noncommittal, sliding his beautiful finger across the tablet, What would you like to drink, babe? Upon hearing this, Su Wanwans eyes lit up, Lafite! Gu Huaian raised an eyebrow. As expected, Huo Jingshen immediately said, Ive ordered mango juice for you to share with Haohao. Obviously displeased, Su Wanwan gave him a stare down, If youve already ordered, then why bother asking me? I just wanted to test if you could be responsible for your own actions. It seems like youre not. Huo Jingshen spoke with a shameless grin. Su Wanwan pouted and stood up, Then you go ahead and order. Im going to the bathroom. Sister Wanwan, Ill come with you. Gu Haohao, dressed in a princess dress, immediately followed. Gu Huaian picked her up from the high chair. The little girl immediately grabbed Su Wanwans hand. Since their previous dinner, this little girl seemed to really like Su Wanwan. First, through Gu Huaian and Huo Jingshen, she got her contact information. After adding her on WeChat, she often chatted with her and wanted to play together. But Su Wanwan has been busy preparing for exams recently and has had no time. She wouldnt have attended this dinner if it wasnt for Huo Jingshens invitation. ** When they got to the hallway, Gu Haohao asked her, Sister Wanwan, can I come and play with you during the winter break? Of course. Great! My big brother said he would take me to Disney during the winter break. Ill bring you a gift. Su Wanwan smiled, You dont have to bring me anything. As long as you enjoy yourself. Wanwan? A familiar voice suddenly echoed. Su Wanwan looked up and saw two familiar figures standing in front of her. Huo Zhexi and Bai Ruwei. They were indoors and holding their coats with gift boxes in their hands, as if they were visiting relatives and friends. Both were obviously meticulously dressed. Bai Ruwei was wearing a decent white dress, with exquisite light makeup on her face, and styled hair. She looked gentle and likeable at first glance. Huo Zhexi was also in a rare suit and tie, except that his red hair stood out like a sore thumb, coupled with his indifferent expression, he looked like a little hooligan. To be honest, the two of them looked very mismatched together! Hey punk, what are you doing here? Huo Zhexi asked gruffly. Su Wanwan couldnt be bothered with him. On top of that, she had lost all positive impressions of Bai Ruwei since she found out she had used her before. She nodded slightly, planning to take Gu Haohao and leave. However, Huo Zhexi blocked her path, Hey punk, are you deaf? Im talking to you! Zhexi, dont be like this. Bai Ruwei quickly pulled him back and greeted Su Wanwan with a smile, Wanwan, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner too? Yeah. Tell me, are you here to cause trouble again? Huo Zhexi started ranting. I have no idea what youre talking about. Su Wanwan frowned impatiently, Make way, good dogs dont block the path! You littleD Zhexi! Bai Ruwei held him back, Stop causing a scene! Remember we agreed to meet for lunch at noon. We should hurry to the private room, I dont want to make a bad impression on your parents for being late. Upon hearing this, Huo Zhexi, although still angry, obediently backed off. Su Wanwan quickly took Gu Haohao away. So, today is the day Huo Zhexi introduces Bai Ruwei to his parents. But why are they meeting at the restaurant? This question also somewhat bothered Bai Ruwei. She had thought that since she was meeting her boyfriends parents, according to local customs, they should meet at their house, and she even picked out gifts for the occasion. However, Huo Zhexi said that his mother had booked a room here, and this hotel is quite famous in Nancheng. Getting a reservation requires a lot of time in advance. Bai Ruwei had no choice but to accept. After all, her previous meeting with Mingzhu wasnt pleasant, so she had to present herself well today. Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: 499, relying on your elder brother’s support? Chapter 499: 499, relying on your elder brothers support? However When Bai Ruwei and Huo Zhexi entered their private dining room, they waited for a long time. Over half an hour had passed beyond their predetermined meeting time, and Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu still hadnt shown up. Another twenty minutes passed, and Huo Zhexi eventually ran out of patience. Im going to call to nudge them. Okay. Bai Ruwei forced a smile. Huo Zhexi grabbed his cellphone and headed directly to the mens bathroom. Inside a stall, he dialed Mingzhus number. Mom, when are you and Dad coming over? To where? To the Nancheng restaurant. We agreed youd meet Xiaowei today at noon. Dont tell me you forgot? Huo Zhexi was exasperated. We didnt forget, but an old friend has returned to the country today. Your father and I are drinking tea at their house. What do you mean? Youre not coming? Yes. Huo Zhexi was frustrated. Mom, youre not doing this on purpose, are you? She selected the location and booked the room herself, and now shes claiming she has to visit an old friends house for tea? This has to be intentional. Mingzhu did not deny it. Your father and I are very busy. How are we supposed to have time to meet your girlfriend? Since you are already there, why not enjoy your meal and go home afterwards? After all, Ive already footed the bill. But Xiaowei bought a lot of gifts for you and Dad. Mingzhu finally lost her patience. Zhexi, why did I have to give birth to such a naive son? How many times have I told you that this woman isnt suitable for you Mom, which one of the girlfriends Ive had have you ever approved of? Huo Zhexi questioned right back. In any case, I wont allow this woman to step foot in the Huo familys house. Mom, Xiaowei is truly not the type of woman you think she is. When I initially met her, she didnt even know I was Huo Zhexi Are you a fool? You revel in the high life daily in Nancheng. Every service staff member in every clubhouse knows youre the Third Young Master of the Huo family. Dont they talk about you privately? She doesnt know who you are? Only a fool like you would believe that! Huo Zhexi: Anyway, Xiaowei is definitely not a vain woman! When we first started dating, she was an innocent girl. She only worked at the clubhouse to earn a living. Even after we got together, she continued to work every day and had already lined up her winter internship. She didnt need any of my help. She refused all the jewellery and clothes I bought for her. I think highly of her, and shes good to me too. Shes an exceptional girl. Mom, its not right for you to have such a heavy prejudice against her without even meeting her Ive already met her. Mingzhus tone was cold and laced with sarcasm. I did not tell her in advance that we were meeting, yet she intentionally brought along Wanwan. This girl is too cunning and ambitious. Zhexi, listen to your moms advice and break up with her right away. Youre not smart enough to play her game! Zhexi, your mother wouldnt harm you. Im doing this for your own good Huo Zhexi hung up the phone in anger, and, in a fit of rage, threw his cell phone into the toilet bowl. Su Wanwan had no idea why Mingzhu would suddenly call her. Auntie, Im out now. I said Id treat you to dinner last time, and it happens to be the weekend today. Do you have time this afternoon? This afternoon? But Im at Nancheng Restaurant right now with a few friends. I dont think I can get away. So, youve seen Zhexi and that woman? Yes. Su Wanwan didnt deny it. Arent you coming over, Auntie? Sigh. Mingzhu let out a sigh. I told you, I would not let that woman enter the Huo familys house. However, Zhexi doesnt listen. Im afraid hell suffer eventually. I rebuked him a bit, and he hung up the phone on me. He even turned off his cell phone now Su Wanwan could only listen. Mingzhu rambled on for a while, and finally said, Alright, I wont disturb your meal anymore. Im hanging up. Goodbye Auntie. The moment Su Wanwan hung up the phone, a mans hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and her phone was snatched away. Su Wanwan jumped in shock, but when she realized it was Huo Zhexi, her face instantly darkened. Huo Zhexi, what the hell is wrong with you? Huo Zhexi took her phone, quickly looked at her call history, and immediately saw the Auntie Mingzhu entry right on top. Heh, as expected, this damned girl was leaking information again. He looked up and asked menacingly, Little bastard, what did you say to my Mom? Did you badmouth me, huh? Before he let Su Wanwan respond, he smashed her phone onto the ground. After he smashed her phone, he turned to leave, but Su Wanwan grabbed his arm. Pick up my phone. Huo Zhexi forcefully shook off her hand. Pick up your sister! I wont pick it up! Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes ominously. Youre not going to pick it up? I said no! If youre capable, get my big brother over here! Huo Zhexi bluffed. Su Wanwan: Seeing that Su Wanwan remained silent, Huo Zhexi became even more arrogant. With a grin, he said, Little bastard, arent you relying on the backing of my big brother? How come you cant act so high and mighty now that hes not around? He saw Su Wanwan with a young girl earlier and heard her speaking with Mingzhu about having a meal here with some friends. As such, he surmised that Huo Jingshen must not be around. Xiaowei even said that you helped her and regards you as her best friend. Its unexpected that you would treat her like this. Women can be so sinister! Huo Zhexi glared at her with revulsion. Dont think I dont know whats in your mind. I suggest you behave yourself, otherwise He scoffed, just as he was about to make another threat, a chillingly familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, Or else what? The smirk on Huo Zhexis face immediately froze. Damn it! Theres a saying that bad things dont happen thrice, but how come he had to run into trouble yet again? How many times has this happened? Zhexi, I heard you wanted to see me? Huo Jingshen strode over, his long, deep-set eyes seeming to casually glance at the object on the ground. Huo Zhexi suddenly felt his legs go weak, and he collapsed onto the floor. Since he was already on the ground, he might as well pick up the phone. Feeling utterly humiliated, he got up and handed over the phone. Sister-in-law, heres your phone. Hearing the address sister-in-law, Su Wanwan had a dark expression on her face, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: 500, are you bullying your elder sister-in-law behind my back again? Chapter 500: 500, are you bullying your elder sister-in-law behind my back again? Clearly, Huo Zhexi had now learned his lesson. At the very least, he knew he had to act more respectful in front of Huo Jingshen. Looking at Zhexis face full of sycophantic smiles, then thinking about what Mingzhu just said during their phone call, and then thinking about Bai Ruwei Someway or another, Su Wanwan found him to be a bit pitiable. The Huo Family currently had three children. Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson who had returned from overseas and inherited the family business, becoming the most distinguished among them. The second child, Huo Nuanyang, although not involved in the family business, is now responsibly leading a whole special training team in Team X. He made it to a high position and accomplished remarkable achievements at the age of only twenty-eight. The future was limitless for him. Contrasted with two such brilliant brothers, Huo Zhexi can certainly be seen as somewhat spineless and useless. Every time the Huo Family gathered, she could clearly see that Huo Juncheng, his father, didnt regard this youngest son highly. As for Mingzhu, she simply treated him as an ignorant kid. The grandfather seemed even more disdainful of this grandson. Perhaps it was empathy, Su Wanwan couldnt help but think of herself. Compared to Su Yanyan, the docile and intelligent girl, she was the least favored one in the Su Family. Every time Su Yuntang saw her, he was full of contempt, disgust, and impatience. Sometimes acting rebellious, refusing to study, or even picking fights was somewhat intentional. Because only then would the elders focus on her, even if their gazes were prejudiced Su Wanwan picked up the cellphone. Having checked it over, she was relieved that it wasnt broken. Otherwise, she would have made him pay for it! Seeing that Su Wanwan picked up the phone, Huo Zhexi discreetly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, Big Brother, what a coincidence that you are dining here too? Am I not allowed to dine here? With Huo Jingshens rhetorical question, Zhexis back turned cold again. He quickly responded, No, no, I was just showing concern for you. Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, So, what are you doing here? Im having dinner with my girlfriend. Huo Jingshen arched his handsome eyebrow, Girlfriend? Which girlfriend? Uh. Huo Zhexi didnt want to discuss his personal life. He glanced at his watch and said, Big Brother, I need to get back. Who knew, Huo Jingshen asked directly, Were you bullying your sister-in-law behind my back again? Brother, I was wrong. I just slipped up. I promise I wont do it again! Huo Zhexi quickly raised his hands to swear. Huo Jingshen glanced at Su Wanwan, his eyebrows slightly raised, Is my darling okay? Im okay. On hearing this, Huo Zhexi immediately cast a doubtful gaze at Su Wanwan. She hadnt resorted to her usual tactics of having his brother back her up? That wretched girl must be cooking up some scheme! Huo Jingshens impatient voice rang out, You can get lost now. Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law! No more thinking was needed from Huo Zhexi, he was eager to leave, so he fled at once. Darn, he had been scared to death. He swore he would steer clear of that wretched girl in future! Not spare her a single word! Turning the corner and entering a private room, he saw Bai Ruwei sitting and crying. Huo Zhexi rushed over, Xiaowei, why are you crying? Bai Ruwei gazed at him with a pitiful face, Zhexi, will your parents not be coming today? They had sudden urgent matters and couldnt come. Ill arrange it for another time. Thats all Huo Zhexi could say. Do they think Im not worthy of you? No such thing. They just dont understand you. Huo Zhexi couldnt help but start complaining, Its all Su Wanwans fault, that wretched girl. Shes close with my mom. Shes definitely said bad things about you to her. Bai Ruwei was stunned, Are you talking about Wanwan? Yes, I heard her tipping off my mom by phone earlier. Theres no way! Bai Ruwei interrupted him, Shes helped me out, not once but many times. Wanwan is a good person, you must be misunderstanding her. Misunderstanding her? Haha, that wretched girl is wicked. Finally managed to hook up with my brother and marry into the Huo family. Now, even my grandparents like her, and so do my parents. Last time when the semester started, they gave her a bunch of gifts. Now, she is practically the Huo familys celebrity. Huo Zhexi comforted his girlfriend, In the future, avoid having any contact with her. Su Wanwan used to be a little hoodlum, you cannot compete with her. Bai Ruwei sat there, deep in thought. After a while, she suddenly said, Zhexi, lets break up. On hearing her words, Huo Zhexi was astounded, What did you say? Your parents dont agree. We cant be together. Bai Ruwei said and started crying again, Its all my fault. I shouldnt have had such foolish hopes. I knew it all along, were just not from the same world. Zhexi, lets break up and not meet anymore! After that, she ran out of the private room without taking any of her belongings with her. When Huo Zhexi chased after her, she was nowhere to be seen. He reached for his phone to call her, only to remember that he had thrown it down the toilet. Shoot! ** A private room next door. On returning with Huo Jingshen to their private room, they found that Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan had already arrived. Oh, our sister-in-law is here too? Having known her for about half a year, Chu Xiuhuang is now comfortable and fluent in calling her sister-in-law. Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: 501, no dieting allowed Chapter 501: 501, no dieting allowed When he found out he was supposed to call a brat ten years younger than himself sister-in-law, he truly couldnt bring himself to say it. But as it turns out, peoples potential is limitless. Su Wanwan laughed and, as she sat down, she placed 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 placed 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 shell later. Hearing this, Huo Jingshen couldnt help but raise his eyes to glance 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 glanced 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 play golf. Shi Huan had no objections, after all, she was purely here to accompany 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 face completely 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 accompany you. Hearing this, Chu Xiuhuangs expression eased a bit. Indeed, his girlfriend was the most understanding. I suddenly dont feel like playing golf anymore. As Chu Xiuhuang spoke, he held her hand and walked out, First, accompany 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 glanced 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-related? 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 weight lately? 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 plate. 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 503 - Chapter 503: 503, people always change. Chapter 503: 503, people always change. This issue reveals a cognitive difference between the East and the West. I dont blame 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? No comment. 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 but laugh, 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 Manjiao laughed 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 just come 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? She laughed 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 become 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 the last. 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 accident. 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 as last time. Were they arguing? I told you, I have a plan for this! What plan? Spending your days as a lapdog and playing 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 you come 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 he comes, 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 secretive lately. 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 - Chapter 504: 504, such an indifferent man Chapter 504: 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 Yebai come 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 regularly, the room temperature maintained, and even called Aunt Zhou regularly 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 vocabulary. 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 the last 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, lacking focus in life, only to eventually realize she was wasting her time. Those scenes from their argument in the dormitory often replayed in her dreams. She had slapped him, and the man stood at the door, his slender fingers caressing his cheek while he looked at her. His eyes were pitch-black, 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 not come 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 Villa, 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 Jin laughed. 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 occasional 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 had come 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 glanced back. Mo Weiyi was poring over the problems, her head bowed, her slightly curly fluffy hair draping over her cheeks, completely 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 classes 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 salary, 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, glanced 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 - Chapter 505: 505, it turns out all was bought by the assistant Chapter 505: 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 is completely baffled. Mo Weiyi said, My pet turtle just died. I see. Zhong Kai cant help but want to laugh. 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 could last 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 from last 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 to laugh. 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 many lame 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 accidentally damaged my favorite jade necklace 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 necklace. This necklace was a birthday gift Xiao Yebai had given her on her nineteenth 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 intercom 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 black desk began to speak in a calm and collected manner, Did you finalize the annual summary? Only the marketing departments is missing. Ill compile 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 been completed. The few stubborn households have been placated. As soon as the demolition order comes, we can start the next phase. Xiao Yebai continued to ask several work-related questions. From start to finish, he maintained a poker face, his voice low. Occasionally glancing up, his gaze was eerily black. 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 that lately, Mr. Xiao was taking his dedication to work to the extreme. Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: 506, the arrogant President Xiao is not to be messed with Chapter 506: 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, of late, 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 accompany his boss and work overtime in the office. It was simply unbearable! Zhong Kai once called the housekeeper at the Lishui Bay Villa, 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 a lack of a sex life? A yin-yang imbalance, leading to a volatile 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 relaxed 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 accompany 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 place. 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, come 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 glared 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 explained. 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, accurately, 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 to come 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 days later, the end-of-term exam at Nancheng University officially began. The exams lasted five days, in the morning, afternoon, and even at night. After five days of exams, Su Wanwan walked out of the exam room feeling completely 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 also coming back to the country, her mood instantly brightened. Moreover, the winter vacation lasted 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 plan her future development goals well. Back in the dormitory, the whole dormitory building seemed to be filled with the joyful atmosphere of the upcoming break. Soon Zhao Qianqian called, saying that she had gathered a few classmates 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 gladly 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 Zong coming to pick you up? I dont need him. Su Wanwan: In fact, ever since Xiao Yebai visited her last time, he never seemed to visit the school again, up until the exams took place. She was now going home and he still wouldnt come to pick her up? This jerk is beyond saving! * * Half an hour later. 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 Villa. 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 have later holidays than schools, and he was always a workaholic. He definitely wouldnt be home until eight or nine oclock. The villa 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 - Chapter 507: 507, the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom Chapter 507: 507, the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom The villa was neatly cleaned, same as when she last 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 was laughing 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 accommodate 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 villa 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 rooms layout without moving for a long time. Only when Aunt Zhou came upstairs with a suitcase did she gave a command: 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 and laws, 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 placate. If she did something wrong and upset you, you should forgive her more and take the initiative to appease her Well talk later. Master Xiao Before she could finish, the call was cut off. Aunt Zhou was incredibly worried. One was coming home to the villa 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 wall lamp 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 mans large 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 wall lamp, being on the opposite side of a large 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 particularly 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 into large 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 blanket 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 flat glasses, impeccably 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 sought comfort, wearing loose, casual clothes without layering. 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 glance and then headed onwards. Without a single backward glance. ** 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 glanced at the stairs. She had thought that upon coming 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 flat 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 place, 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 glance at Xiao Yebai even once. Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: 508, ten years of feelings all fed to the dog Chapter 508: 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 the latest 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 old lady finally said, Yunyao, this child, has really been spoiled by your little aunt. She made such a big scandal, its unacceptable. 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 old lady didnt agree immediately, Yiyi, what happened? Is something wrong? Nothing, I just miss you. She heard her granddaughter say this, and the old lady laughed 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 plainly acted spoilt. The old lady laughed even brighter, If Yiyi can accompany me, of course Ill be happy. Mo Weiyi burst into a laugh immediately, Then Ill go over to accompany you tomorrow. Alright. The old lady lives outside the southern ring road of Nancheng, which is considered a quiet and elegant suburb, but also relatively 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 accompany her either. However, despite all the plans, when she came out after taking a shower at night, she found the man sitting on the sofa in the bedroom with a laptop on his knee. Wearing plain glasses, he looked as relaxed as ever. Mo Weiyi frowned her delicate eyebrows, This is my room, why did you come 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 the laptop back on the coffee table, pushed his glasses, 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 to completely separate from me? If you want to think so, then yes. Mo Weiyi didnt back down. Xiao Yebais black 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 flash 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 her lately. 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 black 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 blades 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 - 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 and landing 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 and laid claim 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 become 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 blankly, unable to snap back to reality for a long time. ** That night. There were two blankets on the large 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 at last 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 doing last 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. She lay 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 confidence comes from? Indeed, in love, the one who falls first is always the most desolate. 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 - 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 was completely 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 place 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 is coming 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 blankly. 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, black, voluminous hair framed her small, delicate, fresh-looking face. Her dainty and delicate features combined 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 passengers coming out. The crowd of people welcoming 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 black coat. Wearing a deep coffee-colored cashmere sweater and straight black 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 play. 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 sound coming from the other end of the phone, and seeing the hurried passengers coming and going outside the car window, Su Wanwan felt like a pig! The flight landed two hours ago, he should have gone home, right? If she had known, she wouldnt have kindly come 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 - 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 particularly 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 holiday lasts 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 we last 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. Ill come 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 Villa. 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 just come 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 explanation was clear enough, but to her surprise Uncle Huo doesnt like others touching his things. Fu Ziyang said clearly. Being blamed 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 dad come 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 glanced 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 black, white, and gray hues, consistent with the style of the entire villa. 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 explanation. It was my sister-in-law 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 blame me, will you? Dont touch my phone again in the future. Brother Jingshen, I was just trying to help. Huo Jingshen gazed at her flatly, 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 - 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 villa next door later. The villa 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-in-law? 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 elaborate, 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 classmates he had dined with last 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 was laughing 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 black 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 so late 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, exclaiming, 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 clang 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 glared 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 glared at him even more sternly, Stingy! Ye Qitian was stumped: His head throbbed. Did he order a cocktail just now? He had completely forgotten! The waiter set down the drinks, Blue Succubus, please enjoy. Su Wanwan directly picked up one of the glasses. 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 - 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 a lascivious 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-potion laced 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-in-law from Nancheng, the richest place 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 time comes, I wonder if the Huo Family could still accommodate their daughter-in-law, Su Wanwan? * * In the private room. Su Wanwan licked her lips, looking at the glass of Succubus in front of Ye Qitian, Arent you going to drink? Give it to me, I want it! Ye Qitian irritably pushed the glass towards her, This is the last one. Youre not allowed to drink anymore when you finish. Su Wanwan completely ignored him, raised her glass, and once again downed it in one go. Putting down her glass, 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 be coming for him soon. Will he blame 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 accuse, 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 glared at him. Ye Qitian: Chapter 514 - 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 blank. Damn! He was forced to witness their public display 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 flabbergasted. 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 you coming out? Huo Jingshen looked over coldly. Ye Qitian: With no choice, he had to come 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 glanced 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 relatively 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 plan had failed. * * Tianquan Royal Court villa. 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 slap landed 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 - 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 villa, and up to the second floor. Since it was the winter vacation, Fu Ziyang followed Fu Qi to the villa next door. All the servants had been transferred there. The entire villa 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, then lay 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 exclaimed, 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 the company 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. His large hand rapidly helped her remove those restraints, then he pulled the blanket 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 glanced 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 villa. 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 you come down? His tone was filled with resignation. Huo Jingshen found that he could not bring himself to get angry. Its so hotII feel uncomfortable 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-in-law drink? I didnt, didnt I say, she drank on her own, I didnt even have a chance to drink the wine I ordered. How come, did little sister-in-law get drunk? Ye Qitian burst out laughing, 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, hilarious 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 splashed 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 - 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 incoming call display 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-in-law 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 blast 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 out laughing, 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 black 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 place, 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 glared at him angrily. She had indeed completely 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 - 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 uncontrollably. Huo Jingshen: This little girl. Shes acting as if she was bullied by him well, he did indeed take advantage of her vulnerability last 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 accusing 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 explained, 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 time last 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 wild last 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 slapped 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 really comforting 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 blame me? Huo Jingshen: Why did they loop back to that again? He had no choice but to explain, 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 - Chapter 518: 518, Huo Jingshen is my man! Chapter 518: 518, Huo Jingshen is my man! I had to explain, 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 villa, they wont disturb us. Su Wanwan pouted. She wasnt an unreasonable person, and with his explanation, she felt a little bit better. But Thinking back about yesterdays incident, she couldnt help but start accusing 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 relationship! 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 to communicate properly. After a while, Fu Qis voice came, Sister-in-law, 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 to come 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 will come 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 villa, 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 the last 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, then come downstairs to eat. Having said that, he glanced 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 placed 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 playful, 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 glared at him, then opened her arms wide. She obviously wanted to be carried. A hint of amusement flashed 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, come and eat later. Okay. After Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan dragged her feeble legs towards the sofa to sit down. A glance 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 classes 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-in-law. 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 outcomes 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 welcome 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-in-law 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, come 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 glanced at her. Su Wanwan widened her innocent eyes and once again spread her arms wide seeking to be carried again! Chapter 519 - 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 collar. Honey, I was wrong last 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 not completely 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 similar to how she felt when she found out that Xing Yuyun had cheated on her with Su Yanyan. Although she had no particular 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 it comes 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 could come 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 was comforting Fu Ziyang. The little guy was too worried about his injured dad. Fu Qis explanation 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 after last night? Last night? Su Wanwan gave a couple of light coughs, Im fine. Your husband called me last 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 but laugh. 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 place, 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 play 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 placed 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 glared 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 the company be on holiday until New Years Eve? Huo Jingshen glared at her, Werent you the one who commanded 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 flashing in his eyes. Hurry up, another piece of rib! Su Wanwan shouted. Huo Jingshen clamped 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 its later? If its later, 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 - Chapter 520: 520, does this sound like human language to you? Chapter 520: 520, does this sound like human language to you? After a while, someone said ominously, Didnt you say you were uncomfortable? I should be fine after resting for two days. Su Wanwan glared 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 his last 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 headache coming 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 blanket 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 drugged last 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 of last 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 becoming 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 placed 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 glanced 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 become an immortal? The room was filled with the smell of smoke. At first glance, 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 glared at him, Im going on a diet! Its only been two days of her vacation, eat then sleep, sleep then eat. Sooner or later, 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 - 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 insinuated comment, 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, non-committal. 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 collaborate with TV stations across the country but also run their TV station, magazines, newspapers, websites, and countless multimedia platforms. 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 popular shows, especially a talk show that has become quite popular in recent years, dominating many online platforms 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 planned 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 work late, Su Wanwan didnt leave until after nine in her car. She picked up Zhao Qianqian halfway, who began to complain as soon as she got into the car, Hasnt Young Master Huo replaced 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 black 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 flashy. She had been accused 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 flaunt your wealth. Su Wanwan: Chatting and laughing 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 and computers 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 was completely different from school. In the office, men and women rushed about. Everyone seemed full of energy, with no sign of slackening 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 particular, 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 black 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 black 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, flashing 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, glared 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 playing games on his phone. Madam Xu lived in an old courtyard with the main house built in the architectural style of the late 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 play with his phone every day. The Xu family was once prestigious, but unfortunately, with the dwindling descendants, they gradually fell into decline. Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: 523, she will not affect your relationship with Yebai. Chapter 523: 523, she will not affect your relationship with Yebai. Mo Weiyi looked at her, her black 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 is coming soon. Your aunt was talking to me about preparing to visit her grave. Mrs. Xu explained. 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 particularly 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 accompany 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 blank 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-in-law who told me about this. The old man and Yebai, they all know about it. Seeing Mo Weiyis pale face, Xu Jing comforted her, But dont worry. Yunyao has been sent to study in Italy and she wont be able to come back in the short term. So she wont affect your relationship 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 explain, 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 relationship with that manager Zhang was purely accidental. 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 accurate. Even though she has done her best to restrain herself, trying hard and being cautious, never daring to slack off during each day she lives in the Mo family, Mo Weiyi was always on guard against her. Chapter 524 - 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 articulated 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 violation 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 succession 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, her laugh 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 slammed shut with a pop. Then, there was a heavy, deathly silence. The sound of the door closing startled Xu Jing so much that a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back. When she recovered, she found the old Mrs. Xu was looking at her. Although the old lady 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 just come 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 to come 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 glancing 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 the last 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 village 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 was coming out carrying a steaming porcelain bowl, she saw her granddaughter coming out. She smiled brightly and said, Weiyi, your favorite shrimp and egg soup is ready, come over and eat. Mo Weiyi originally had no appetite, but seeing the kindly smiling face of the old lady, 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 hadnt come 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 definitely come 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 relationship. 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 - Chapter 525: 525, don’t 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 glanced 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, how come 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 any later, he might not have made it, he needs to stay in the hospital now for observations. Hes not awake yet, you better come 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 smiled comfortingly, 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 to come 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 up late 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 declared, 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 cant come 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 to come 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 - 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 occurred 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, composed herself, and pushed open the door. But seeing the woman inside, her just composed 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 not comfortable 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 Yebai lay in his patient gown, looking somewhat pale without his glasses, 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 nonchalantly. 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 uncomfortable 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 glanced at Xiao Yebai, and countered, You call yourself Yebais wife, may I ask where were you when Yebai had the accident? 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 Weiyi laughed 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 black 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 flaunted a perfect, voluminous curl, highlighting her pretty, collagen-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 - 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 have come. She really should not have come. 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 accepted 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 it lacked 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 you come 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 would come. 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 didnt come, you would have drunk it? Mo Weiyi directly pointed out the flaw in his words, Xiao Yebai, let me clarify 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, black 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 succinct 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 glasses, his inky eyes were like the deep sea at midnight, inscrutable and unpredictable. Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: 528, let’s get a divorce. Chapter 528: 528, lets get a divorce. Xiao Yebai looked at her, his gaze deep and cool. Without the cover of glasses, 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 glanced 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 glared at him straight away with her beautiful cat-like eyes. This damn man, was he intentionally pulling the injured-hero trick? Even though compared to his usually dapper professional image, him in hospital clothes, furrowing his brows, did indeed seem a bit haggard and pale. A few seconds later, 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 was completely 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 water coming 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 glare at him, Drink or not, you choose! Xiao Yebai responded calmly, Ill drink. Maybe it was because she didnt expect him to be so compliant, 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 magnetic, 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 like laughing 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 - 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 escalated 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 explanation to be quite reasonable. Who would have known that the mans mockery would become 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 glanced at the call display, 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 display. 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 glanced 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 glance 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 glare at the man on the bed. Mo Yaoxiong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Thats good to hear. Weiyi, Yebai is relatively cold in disposition, but he has you in his heart. Over the years, he has done a lot for the company, 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 relayed the room number and added, While youre at it, send a couple of servants over. After hanging up, she placed the phone back. Now that everything is settled, Im leaving. To where? Mo Weiyi casually ran her fingers through her fluffy hair, acting nonchalant. 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 flattering 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 visible layer of anger, or perhaps hostility? Mo Weiyi watched him askance, feeling an odd sense of satisfaction welling up inside of her. Chapter 530 - 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 flamboyant 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 articulated every word piercingly, There is no such thing as having your cake and eating it too, do you understand? Dont you dare command 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 collarbone, 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 he lay 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 relax. 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 becoming 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, come 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 - Chapter 531: 531, isn’t 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 slashed 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 exclaimed, 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 the companys 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 the company, for the Mo family, you cant divorce Yebai. I dont get it, what does my divorce have to do with the company? Even if hes not my husband, hes still my brother in name. He can still stay in the Mo family and continue working for the company, 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 glanced 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 overstimulated. If you have any filial piety left, discard the idea of having a divorce completely. 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 - 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 relationship with him, and Xiao Yebai only sees her as a sister. But what about Tian Ye? She and Xiao Yebai were classmates 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 particularly 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 the company? So the reason she wouldnt let her divorce Xiao Yebai wasnt because of anything else, but for the company! 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 matter completely. 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 the company, 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 the company 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 the company 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 the company and he was busy working overtime. Then you fell off the bed in the middle of the night, your grandpa was furious and slapped 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 to last. 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 black 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 to laugh 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 welcome her, Princess, its not early, should I send you back first? Mo Weiyi glanced 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 the large space, there was only a man lying on the hospital bed. Only a floor lamp 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 much later, Mo Weiyi came out, Take me back to the mansion. Okay. Chapter 533 - 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 glancing at the rearview mirror as she focused on the road. When they arrived at the Lishui Bay Villa, Mo Weiyi instructed the servants to take her suitcase to the guest room. It was very late. As she entered the bathroom and took off her coat, she noticed that her neck was splattered 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 again last 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, come on, the CEO of the Mo Family, shouldnt be this pitiful when hes sick, right? Xiao Yebai answered coldly, Didnt you say she couldnt come 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 did come last night. Where is she now? Dare to mention Tian Ye? An icy shiver ran down Zhan Yaos spine, What happened? Xiao Yebai squinted his black 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 slapped his thigh, Damn it, then Im to blame. I thought I could bring Tian Ye to the hospital to provoke the little princess a bit, let her know youre still popular with the ladies, and make her realize she should treasure you. Now I got it! He pointed at Xiao Yebai, Given your taciturn nature, you certainly didnt explain, 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, playing 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 you later. 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. The large glass 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 blankets, 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 Village. 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 was coming 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 Village. 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 black smirked, Zhizhou, how many times have I told you, youre not cut out for this. Chapter 535 - 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 been coming 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 events lately? Princess, are you referring to President Xiaos social events? Mo Weiyi: Zhong Kai laughed 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 be coming to the company for the next two days. Did something happen? Hes not feeling well, hes been hospitalized. Mo Weiyi said indifferently. I see. Zhong Kai immediately complied obediently, Dont worry, princess. You just take care of President Xiao. Ill handle things at the company. Ill report to you promptly if anything comes up. Okay. She hung up the phone and got up to go downstairs. About 10 minutes later, 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 glanced around, the entire ward was neat and clean. There were no flowers or fruits, everything seemed desolate and cold. She scoffed softly. Having reached the sickbed and placing 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 finally landing on his thin lips. Looking at it, she suddenly bent over, her whole body leaning towards him. His usually calm and indifferent black 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 playful charm, Do you still want to continue our relationship? 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 to come 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 his large hands. Chapter 536 - 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 placating 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 flashed 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 the last class reunion, I asked you to order food for me, and you only ordered broccoli, and all the other dishes were ones I didnt like! Because your classmates 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 broccoli, 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, last 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 - Chapter 537: 537, why can’t 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 explained what happened yesterday. Im talking about the future. Regarding yesterdays matter, Xiao Yebai and Zhan Yao had already made their explanations, 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 splashed out of Mo Weiyis spoon and landed 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. Mo completedly 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 place 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 blanket 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 newcomer, 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 a large 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 flat, I wont die. Ye Bei laughed 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 relationship with Xiao Yebai was mediocre at best. There were many Chinese students at that American Institute, and there was an internal forum for communication. 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 regular 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 glanced at him, He finds it annoying. Ye Bei continued to smile, You two have a really good relationship. Mo Weiyi also smiled, You and your girlfriend also have a good relationship. She still remembered the last gathering when the two of them went straight into the restroom and didnt come out. Ye Bei was taken aback, Are you talking about Linlin from last time? He immediately stated, We have broken up. Broken up? Mo Weiyi frowned. It seemed like it hadnt even been a month since the last class reunion. They had broken up already? Little girl, always nagging, excessively emotional, no shared topics. Ye Bei had a nonchalant 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 glance. 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 Ye come to see you? Xiao Yebai gave a flat response, Yes. Thats good. Ye Bei laughed. There was nothing else to say. No one spoke. The atmosphere in the ward was painfully awkward. Fortunately, Mo Weiyi returned quickly. She placed the small bowl back on the table, Its getting late, 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, flashing 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 - 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 his laughter. 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 plays 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 will come 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 jubilant. 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 relaxed. She was so sleepy that she needed to compensate 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 particularly handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you could tell his body was muscular, 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 classmate, 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. The last 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 musical lately. Would you be interested in going to see it? Ye Bei had done his research beforehand. Even though Mo Weiyi majored in law in university, her late 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 accompany 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 Bei laughed 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 play the piano every day. I didnt have a talent for music. Each practice was incredibly difficult, yet I couldnt play any better. My mother was extremely strict, scolding me for every little thing and constantly comparing 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 miscalculation 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-in-law meeting his younger sister-in-law 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-in-law, youre here. Mo Yaoxiong stepped in. Brother-in-law, 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-in-law, why not have lunch here while youre at it? Ive prepared everything. No need, Im just here to talk and then Ill leave. Brother-in-law, 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-in-law, go ahead. Why did you tell Weiyi that Yunyao likes Yebai? Xu Jing was startled, and quickly apologized, Brother-in-law, 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 born late 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-in-law, I really didnt do it on purpose, you must believe me. Ill call Weiyi right now to explain. 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-in-law, 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-in-law, 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-in-law. This relationship will not change. Chapter 539 - 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-in-law, 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 regularly. His back was straight when he walked, his hair was dyed black, and one would think he was only in his thirties looking at him from this angle. Not until the man got into a black 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 clang sounded as the porcelain shards flew around, and soup spilled all over the place. 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 become 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 can come and eat next time. Ill come and meet you! Mo Weiyi suddenly said. ** Half an hour later, 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 you come 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 planned to go home and sleep afterward. But then you mentioned that this place 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 you later 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 often come to the TV station. Since arranging supervisors that day, she had not seen him. Mo Weiyi laughed, 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, Im late! Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: 540, baby, why haven’t you come home yet? Chapter 540: 540, baby, why havent you come home yet? It was not until Mo Weiyi yawned that Su Wanwan looked at the time and shot to her feet, Shit, Im late! As an intern, she could take holidays a bit earlier, so today was her last 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 awkward laugh, walked in and sat next to Zhao Qianqian. Xia Mei glanced at her and said, Lunch break is one hour long, should be sufficient right? Dont be late next time. Su Wanwan stood up, Sorry, Teacher Xia, I will not be late again. She indeed lost track of time chatting with Mo Weiyi, as they hadnt seen each other for several days and were discussing their relationship. 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 plan. 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 hour later, 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 glance. 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 being late. 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 workplace 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 workplace is complex, but in reality, it is the human heart that is complex. 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 blabbed his secret, hell probably blame 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 popular 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 rather large 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, and complete 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 to come 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 be late next time. These older women in the workplace 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, late 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 working late? 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 to come 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 - Chapter 541: 541, husband you’re 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 black 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 plate 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 glanced 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 black 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 were coming 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 in laughing with another man? If I didnt honk, were you planning 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, glanced 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 slave 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 glanced 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, congratulations 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 plan 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 is completely 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 relationship 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 glanced 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-in-law, then its natural for Qiao Zixin to fall for her brother-in-law! 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 accelerator! 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 returning late, 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 moment later, 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 - 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 more comfortable. 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 lightly laughed, Miss Qiao, so youve failed again? Thinking about her failure at the clubhouse, Qiao Zixin frowned, Ever since that girl was wrongly accused by my grandfather, she hasnt returned to the Su family. I dont even have a chance to meet him. The last 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 plan 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 surveillance 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 hasnt come 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 woman laughed 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 classmates 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 are coming 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 - 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 was completely 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 petulantly, 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 glanced at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. Ive become accustomed to it. Accustomed 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 place. A currently popular romance TV drama was playing 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 glanced 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 recommended on a public account. The show was addictive once I started watching. Yeah, I really cant stand that scum in there. Hes always flirting with his female classmate. 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 while later, Huo Jingshen got up, Babe, I need to go to the office. Call the driver later to come pick you up. Mr. Huo, Ill take Wanwan home later. 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 relationship seems to be very good. Chapter 544 - 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 relationship seems to be really good. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener read more into it. Xiao Yebai glanced 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 man laying 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 the last 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, come 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, laughing 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 nonchalantly 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 Villa. 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 the large 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. The last incident was indeed a mistake on YanYans and my part. We accused 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 relatives Chapter 545 - 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 clarity or clarity, without even a decent wedding! If this gets out, people will laugh me to death! I, the father-in-law, am a laughingstock! 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 should come 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 Yanyan come 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 any language skills and finds everyday communication 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 to come 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 accompany you? No need, I will come back after having a meal. This time its probably a work-related 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 incident last time, he didnt lay 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 it later. 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 restaurant later. 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 couldnt laugh 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, was late, it would cause a stir. Even if he wasnt well, that was no excuse for being late. 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 slack 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 have come! What kind of visit was this! Obviously, Xiao Yebai, the patient, didnt seem to welcome 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 - 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 glanced 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 to lay comfortably 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 you come back at noon? Right now is noon, isnt it? Mo Weiyi looked innocent. Aunt Zhou can bring you food later, I wont be coming. 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 accompany your husband. Su Wanwan gave up, Ill call a cab right now and give you the license plate 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 you come to the hospital? Jiang Yi sounded urgent, Your dad had a car accident 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 accident 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 accident. Just as his fever subsided, he went to a meal with the leader, who knew there would be an accident 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 accident, they said hes in the emergency room, I have to go check. Let me go with you. No need, stay here and accompany 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 accident, 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. Bla bla bla, 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 to come 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 black 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 but laugh, Chief Su, it was your wife who called me, telling me you had a car accident, claimed 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 accident? 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 resemblance 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 daughter comes 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 to come home for an entire year? On the second day of the year, your father is planning to host a celebration banquet. You and Mr. Huo can come, it would be perfect to have a family gathering then. He still wants to hold a celebration banquet after a car accident? 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. You come when I say you need to come! He took a deep breath, Yanyan wont be coming 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 even come 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 - 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 clang, 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 glanced 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 accident, 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 and comforted 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-in-law, all the leaders in the bureau and the city, including the relatives 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 magnetic deep voice, Su Wanwan instantly calmed down. She responded cheerfully, Im fine. They said he just fainted while walking. It wasnt a car accident. 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 suddenly come 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 the large 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 District compound. Entering the three-story villa 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 Gala was playing on television, with Old Master Huo and Huo Juncheng playing 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 Wanwan laughed awkwardly. The little guy was living in the villa 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 back late 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 only laugh 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 classes 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-in-law to go on a honeymoon, and she even wanted him to pay for it? Using his money to earn favor? The old lady 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. Which company? A TV station under Huanyu Media. Huanyu Media? What do they do? Old Lady Huo frowned. Huo Juncheng said, Isnt that Gu Lau Qis company? Gu Lau Qi? Juncheng, are you talking about Huaian? Old Lady Huo immediately frowned, He runs an entertainment company, right? Wanwan, youre not thinking about joining the entertainment industry and becoming a star, are you? Although their granddaughter-in-law 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 is complicated. Su Wanwan quickly said, Dont worry, Grandma, Im not becoming 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 related to the programs production at the television station, I guess its behind the scenes work. Behind the scenes? Old Lady Huo finally relaxed a bit. Seeing that Huo Jingshen had come 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 - Chapter 548: 548, Gambling on New Years Eve Chapter 548: 548, Gambling on New Years Eve Is Huo Zhexi planning 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 stifled laugh, unable to hold back any longer. What a blood relative! She sports pinpoint accuracy in her criticism! ** A black 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 contemplated divorce many times, and there were many women who wanted to use various methods to become the matriarch of the Ming Family. But in the end, all their plans 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, claiming 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 place 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 accurate after these years. Clearly, Bai Ruwei is unhappy with playing 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 Xiaowei last 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 blame 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 playing hard to get? This is a woman who knows how to manipulate, 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 glare 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 back last time in the restaurant, Xiaowei wouldnt have broken up with him. However, today is New Years Eve, and his whole family was coming 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 plans? 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 of complex? 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 you completely. There was no exaggeration, his heart had completely 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-in-law 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 welcomed 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 play Mahjong? We have an automatic mahjong table at home. Play 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 bonus later; Wow, she was going to be rich! When Mrs. Huo gave a shout, Mingzhu as her daughter-in-law naturally accompanied her immediately, Mom, Ill play with you. Now, we need one more person. Mingzhu looked around and invited with a smile, Miss Fu, do you know how to play mahjong? Being suddenly called upon, Fu Qi waved her hand in a hurry, I dont know how to play. Its okay, once I teach you, youll know how to play. Were playing 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 play these kinds of games. Grandma, mom, Ill play with you. Huo Zhexi suddenly stood up. As he spoke, his eyes were locked onto Su Wanwan, his mind calculating 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 - Chapter 549: 549, your wife lost money! Chapter 549: 549, your wife lost money! The automatic mahjong table was quickly set up, creating a particularly festive whoosh sound. Huo Jingshen glanced at it, then went upstairs with his cellphone in hand. He remembered that during his last visit home, the old lady promised to replace the bed and the furniture in his room. The automatic mahjong table was bustling with activity, and the first round ended quickly with the old ladys 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 play 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 old lady in that round? Thats not right. The old lady pretended to be angry and glanced at her grandson, Alright, your sister-in-law is still studying, so lets play 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 play a big hand. He racked his brain, calculating the best move. Could you hurry up, Xiaosan? Su Wanwan couldnt help but knock on the table. Huo Zhexi gave her a glare. Xiaosan? Which bitch is she calling that? If Grandma and mom werent present, he would have slapped her already. Why are you glaring at me? Hurry up and play 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 old lady couldnt stop laughing, 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 old lady slapped 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 balance 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 old lady 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 old lady urged her on. Apparently, the old lady was enjoying her winning streak and had no intention of stopping. Su Wanwan could only pep herself up in silence. What goes around comes around. It couldnt be that the old lady 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 play, 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 old ladys 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 balance, Err, Grandma, I am out of money on WeChat. Huo Zhexi burst out laughing, What a miser! Want to deny your debt after losing, huh? Dont play if you cant afford it, stingy. Plus, its not like youre shy about losing. Mind your own business! Su Wanwan glared 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 with laughter. 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 old lady 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 now completely 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 but laugh, I like my daughter-in-laws character! Spend money like water, yet it always comes back to you! She doesnt even care about money! Zhexi, learn a thing or two from your sister-in-law, 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 were coming 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 play one of her tiles, a large 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 their laughter. 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 glance, there was an indescribable intimacy and naturalness between them. Fu Qi bit her lip lightly and clutched the fruit plate 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, glancing 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 out laughing. Mingzhu also couldnt help laughing. 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-in-law shared a look and giggled, acting like a pair of cunning foxes. Chapter 550 - 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-in-law exchanged glances, a subtle winking and nodding, like they were exchanging coded signals. They laughed, looking like a hilarious 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 play 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 glance, 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 the commanding presence of one who was accustomed 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 play 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 playing. Huo Zhexi was surprised. Was big brother being so reasonable today? The next second Including the last 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 playing, 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 play a few more rounds with me. Huo Jingshen didnt look back, Call Nuanyang. Hearing this, Nuanyang, who had just come 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 to come down and play 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 blatantly unscrupulous businessman! ** Upon reaching the bedroom upstairs, Huo Jingshen closed the door behind him. Su Wanwan was still excitedly checking the balance in her mobile wallet, Wow, I made 9000. Ive gotten so rich! Huo Jingshen: Husband, how are you so amazing? How come you, a foreigner, can play 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 a laugh 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 playing 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 playing along. Its okay, just collect more red packets tonight, Huo Jingshen comforted his wife. Mentioning this, Su Wanwan got even more upset, If I collect red packets, you will confiscate them! Recalling how last 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 to laugh. Yes, this time remember to hand it over voluntarily. Su Wanwan: Damn! This Huo Shiren who always exploits others! Im not playing 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 - 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 glance, 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 little lady 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 eyelashes trembling constantly, even though her mouth was covered, she was still fervently resisting. But everyone was downstairs, either playing mahjong or watching TV, or playing chess, who could hear the noises upstairs? Huo Jingshen chuckled and reminded her again, Right, Nuanyangs room is right next door. Su Wanwans mouth clamped 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 just come 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 villa. She didnt have an overcoat, and the weather in Nancheng was particularly dry and cold today. However, Fu Qi seemed to be oblivious to this, and paced around the villa nonstop. Finally, she ended up at the back of the villa. Finding nobody around, she took out her phone and made an international call. As soon as it connected, she complained tearfully to the person on the other end, Sister-in-law, 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. The last time she came to Nancheng, at least she got to stay in the same villa with Huo Jingshen. This time, they had a place ready in the same residential area. How could such a luxurious vacant villa be available in the Tianquan Royal Court where every inch of land is precious? Surely, this villa 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 villa! This is utterly treacherous! Theyre acting as if shes a thief trying to steal something! Sister-in-law, 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-in-law, can I ask you one last question? What is it? Fu Qi asked, Sister-in-law, 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 - 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-in-law 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 become closer to each other, they could even have their weddings together. Lets talk about this issue later, its too complicated. 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 Xin laughed, Fu Qi, what are you thinking about? I just think that since Brother Jingshen is already married and cant be with me, I plan 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-in-law, 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 place much importance on chastity. Since her many years of love had no outcome, 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 melancholically, 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-in-law. Dont disrupt their relationship. 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 glass 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 plan 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 glancing at Huo Nuanyang. She was anxious. That man had heard her whole conversation in the afternoon. Would he tattle? However, her incessant glancing 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 glanced at Huo Nuanyang. At that moment, Huo Nuanyang was looking at Fu Qi. Fu Qi inadvertently glanced 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 strange land. 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 planned to introduce to Huo Nuanyang, but then Ranxin laid 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 placed 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 articulate. 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 popularity 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 Gala played 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 playing. Some were snatching red envelopes, some were busy sending New Years blessings through text messages, some were browsing TikTok, and others were playing 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 black 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 Gala with a straight posture. Fu Qi once again started to overthink things. This is not going well! This soldier is planning 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 glance at him. Noticing that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly followed him out. Chapter 553 - 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 black 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 playing 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 to laugh, 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 black 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-black gaze staring at her, Is it customary for girls growing up in foreign countries to lack manners like you? Fu Qi was taken aback. Lacking manners? How was she lacking 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 villa is too big, the servants have gone home. There used to be two servants with Fu Ziyang at least in that villa. Now that Ziyang was staying here and the servants were only coming back the day after tomorrow. Granny Huo laughed, 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 up late 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 place, she couldnt help muttering under her breath, Stingy! Once she had finished washing up and laid on the bed, she couldnt resist beginning her lecture, Ziyang, why have you become 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 relationship between little aunty and Uncle Huo, Ill still be close with you. I didnt interrupt any relationship! I didnt do anything wrong! What does a five-year-old know about disrupting relationships? It must be that little bully Su Wanwan instilling these ideas in his head, right? Fu Ziyang didnt say anything. Chapter 554 - 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 old lady 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 old lady 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 successively 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 out later, 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 flattering 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 the last. 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-in-law 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? At last, 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 Gala? 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 cabinet 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 Gala. Huo Jingshen didnt want to disturb them, so he said, Ill go check in the kitchen. Chapter 555 - 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 noises coming from the kitchen. He instantly furrowed his brows. Given the lateness of the hour, the two servants should have finished their work and returned to their rooms to watch the Spring Festival Gala. 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 alarmingly 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 Mings comedy show for the Spring Festival on the sofa. Hearing the elderly mans noise, she scolded impatiently, Old man, stop making so much noise. Its late. 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-in-law 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 plans 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-in-law 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 glass 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 glass. 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 the late 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 sounds coming 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 blanket, 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 unaccommodating! Huo Jingshen was so irritated, he pinched her cheek. Chapter 556 - 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 place 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 glanced at the time, it was already past midnight. Back in bed, the sound of firecrackers kept coming 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 relaxed 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 was late 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 brain completely blank, unsure what to do and even forgetting to head back to her room. She listened for as long as the noise lasted. 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 seconds later, she seemed to finally come 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 desolate. Chapter 557 - 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 Gala 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 relaxed. 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 accompany you. Its a gathering of young people, I wont go. Okay. Mo Weiyi accepted the invitation. It was actually handwritten by Gu Huaian using black 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 is coming 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 him come 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 Villa. 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 villa. 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 villa. The car remained stationary. Rong An continued to sit in the drivers seat, his gaze fixed on the lights of the villa until the lights in the upstairs bedroom were turned off about two hours later. He lowered his head, started the engine, the black Audi slowly backed up, made a turn, and left the yard. * * After Mo Weiyi entered the villa, 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 black short hair was a handsome, cold face with no expression. Without the disguise of glasses, his facial features seemed somewhat hard, more profound and difficult to understand with a glance. 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 - 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 black 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 glance 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, declared 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 the large, 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, lately, she seemed to have grown accustomed 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 becoming quite the conversationalist. Im a bit hungry, Xiao Yebai suddenly said. Didnt the servant send dinner to your hospital? Didnt you eat? Mo Weiyi glanced 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, completely incapable of uttering a single sound. Help! This reserved Yebai, why did he suddenly become so openly flirtatious? The more he was like this, the shyer she became. Their roles seemed to be somewhat reversed compared to before. This forward Yebai, he was simply deadly! Chapter 559 - 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-insulated, 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 villa now? On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year? Suddenly, she opened her mouth and shouted, Xiaobai, come out! The room was silent. Mo Weiyi wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, 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 black 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 porcelain plate 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 nonchalant 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 dream last night. Xiao Yebai looked at her. After both of them had taken a shower last 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 delay, Mo Weiyi said, Then Ill make congee for you later. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and glanced 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 collar and cuffs of his shirt, put on his coat, and placed his glasses 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 lovely complexion stand out, her delicate and animated features were breathtakingly beautiful. Shi Huan laughed 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 glance, 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 playfully 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 explained honestly, She said the service here is good, and its comfortable. 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 - 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, black 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 elderly lady. 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-in-law? Shi Minyan glanced 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 old lady emotionlessly, Grandma, what are you referring to? As expected. Last time, I suggested you meet Zhu Mingpeng, and you flat 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 blatantly humiliated in public like this left her unable to hide her anger, she finally raised her hand, and slapped Shi Huan. With a loud smack, sharp and crisp. Shi Huans face was slapped to the side by the force, a clear handprint quickly emerged on her cheek, and even her black-framed glasses 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 flavor of blood. She didnt utter a word, simply squatting down to pick up her glasses. 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 glasses into a trash bin nearby. Little Luoluo was already sobbing, her mouth stuffed with a lollipop, weeping loudly. Tu Youran was comforting their daughter, while Shi Minyan was holding back old lady 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 are laughing 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-in-law, 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 to come over. You two will meet later! 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 salary goes to you, the rest to my sister! Just last 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, she complains 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-in-law 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 - Chapter 561: 561, why dont you even send me a New Years 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 her company, Huangyou Investments, he couldnt help but be impressed. It was a big deal! Zhu Mingpeng also runs his own company, and after a quick search, he found out that the company 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 black down jacket, dark pants, black leather shoes C she may not have had any particular taste in fashion. But her face was delicate and pleasing with exquisite features. She even had a hint of classical beauty. She seemed fragile and delicate, the kind of woman who could easily be manipulated. It seems Although her cheek seemed to be slightly swollen from an earlier slap, 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 black-rimmed glasses. 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 slaughtered? 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 acceptable? 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 alwaysnonchalant and carefree. Shi Huan asked, Mr. Chu, is there something at the company? 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 envelope later. 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 the company give a 10-day holiday? Master Chus words were astonishing, I am coming 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 explained. 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 declared bankruptcy and their old mansion was sold. The family had to move back to the small village where they used to live. Their fortunes had significantly declined, and they could no longer live as they did in the past. However, the old lady had not accepted 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 planning 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 future communication 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 slap 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 voice coming from inside the room, she suddenly stopped. A few seconds later, 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 glanced 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 Mingpeng laughed, 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 - 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-in-law, Youran, go get me discharged. Tu Youran glanced 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 Luoluo complained 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 play 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 flashed 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 glanced 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 glance, she was a well-bred girl who lived in comfort 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 play with me. Goodbye, sister. Little Luoluo waved her little hand. Chapter 563 - 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 but laugh 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 slap her in the hospital room. One half-sugar latte, thank you. After giving her order to the waiter, Mo Weiyi continues speaking on the phone, Thats good then. The lady 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 become accustomed to this attitude of his, moreover knowing the severity of his stomach bleeding. Eating only liquid meals and with a poor digestion, although his complexion 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 accomplishment? 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, but later, I understood that she never considered me as an intimate partner. On the contrary, you, knew about this! You even accompanied Tian Ye to meet her mother! The matter with her house, you helped to resolve it, right? Also, her mothers surgery was accomplished with your help, wasnt it? Hmm, coming 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 but laugh, 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 slap abruptly strikes his face. He didnt even see it coming 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, glaring 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, calm composure 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 565 - 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 corridor last 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 glared 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 excited last 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 fault last 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 JingShen commanded. 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 about last 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 old ladys 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 welcoming 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 blazer, 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 accompanied 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 relaxing to stay at home and play 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! Im coming 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 instantly latched 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, come with us. Huo Nuanyang: Could he opt out? However, it wasnt an option. Granny Huos eyes lit up upon hearing that and she immediately exclaimed, Great, Nuanyang, you should also go shopping with your brother and sister-in-law. Its not often that you are at home. Your grandfather and I will stay behind as we have friends coming 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 villa. 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 immediately commanded, 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 black 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 black 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 become my second granddaughter-in-law. After all, Ashen is already married to Wanwan, forcing things would not yield a good outcome. Fu Qi wasnt aware of Granny Huos thoughts, faced with the old ladys 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 camouflage 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 glanced 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 more comfortable 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 place 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 - 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 blabber, 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 that laughter hadnt come 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 play. Fu Qi: Asking her to be quiet while playing 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 glare. Fu Ziyang seriously replied, I did, she accepted 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 the coming year. It was also said that whatever one did on this day, one would repeat it repeatedly in the coming 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 Huan laughed, 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 accordance to the old ladys 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 his compliment. His darling looked good in anything, and looked the best without wearing anything at all! Su Wanwan glanced at Fu Qi. Miss Fu, arent you going to try any clothes on? I wont be trying anymore. Fu Qi replied coldly. Su Wanwan laughed. Oh, right. After all, these are all new spring collections. Miss Fu might not be planning 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 black base shirt with a V-neck line under her coat, revealing her neck and collarbones. She had accidentally revealed a bright red mark while changing. Seeing this, Fu Qi thought about the strange sounds she had heard last 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 collarbone 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 made last 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 - 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 Villa later. 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 flaunt 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-flaunting, 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-in-law. 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 explained like he was clarifying. Meaning, he didnt have much occasion 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 newly launched Spring collection? This piece is quite good, can be worn on casual occasions, your brother is so handsome, he would surely suit it. Handsome? Fu Qi glanced at Huo Nuanyang. Handsome where? Hes so fierce! Brother Jingshen is much more good-looking! Or how about this sweater? The salesperson started recommending another item, This sweater comes in black, blue, and brown, it would suit your brothers taste. After she recommended 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 black, 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 flat 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 flaunt, and only said: Just bought a few things. Su Wanwan instantly brightened with laughter. 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 569 - 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 planned to give them to the old lady of the Shi Family. But it doesnt matter. He bought birds nests, ginseng, and donkey-hide gelatin, 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 placed 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 uncomfortable 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 with last night? Shi Huan paused again, What are you referring to, last night? Dont play dumb! Im asking you who you spent New Years Eve with? You only sent me a single congratulatory message? Shi Huans hands pushed against the man, trying to keep herself from getting too close to him. She repeatedly explained, 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 uncomfortable. 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 now completely red. She was angry. And a bitshy. She didnt expect Mr. Chu to suddenly pull at her collar. 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 accompany 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 would come to your aid! With his increasing anger, his words started to get out of hand. It didnt occur 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 do later. 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-in-law is here. My sister is already divorced; where did this brother-in-law come from? Your former brother-in-law! Chus grandfather was choked by the response, his roaring voice could be heard by Shi Huan. Oh, what about my former brother-in-law? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was still nonchalant. Your ex-brother-in-law 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 and come back home to see whats happening. Your mom almost fell over in anger just now. Shes still in a cast because of her last 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-in-law 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 black. 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 to come 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 to come 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 and comes back to the country, you can rest assured. Once she finds a job, shell repay all the tuition and miscellaneous 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, come 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 accident 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 the last 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 be coming to an end. Shi Huan thought to herself, perhaps she would finally be free. Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: 570, Wanwan: Want to calculate me? Chapter 570: 570, Wanwan: Want to calculate 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, our company 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 you later 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 should come 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 not coming 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 relatives. 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 explained. Ha, sigh. And now, she was still calling her frequently, sparing no effort to meet her, she must have some wicked plan. However Su Wanwans beautiful phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light. Want to calculate 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 plan 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 them later, 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 accompanying you, no one in the Su family dares to bully you. Su Wanwan couldnt help but laugh, Grandma, you think too much. No one bullies me. Grandmother Huo also laughed, 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. According 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 elderly lady with rosy complexion and white hair eyed Su Wanwan with a mix of curiosity and admiration. This is my granddaughter-in-law, 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 flawless, devoid of any pores or wrinkles. God, to be young is indeed wonderful. The old lady nodded approvingly, Beautiful, truly beautiful, Ashen is one lucky guy. Hahaha. Elder Huo could hardly contain her laughter, 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 a large 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 accept it. Elder Huo laughed and said, Go ahead, take it. Your grandma Nangong has plenty of money. Su Wanwan: With a smile, she finally accepted 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 immediately laughed 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 her laughter, Okay. Thats great! Here, lets exchange WeChat contacts, and we can talk more about it later. Nangong Grandma didnt hesitate to pull out her phone. The daughter-in-law standing by could only silently pray for her son. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the old lady was finally led away by her daughter-in-law. 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 flaunting flaming red hair, he looked quite flamboyant. 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 play 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 alarmed. Mingzhus face was coldly beautiful, Were dining together with grandpa and grandma today. No phones. Why are you interfering with me playing with my phone! How old do you think I am? Mom, cant you stop treating me like a kid? Mom? Mom? Mingzhu completely 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 blast. 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 572 - 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 me lately. 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 dont come back to the private room with me, Ill send you abroad to study tomorrow! You wont be able to come 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 Xiaowei later. 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 were coming 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 all laughing 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 place 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, because compared 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 accompany 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 accompany 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 becoming extremely anxious. Chapter 573 - 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 uncontrollable laughter, 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 hilarious. How come 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 keeping company with Zhexi or me. If you perform well, I might even take you under my wing. What do you say, come 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 slap across his face. With a loud smack, the sound echoed throughout the corridor. The man stood still, stunned. This slap seemed to have woken him from his drunken stupor. All eyes from the surrounding crowd were fixed on his face. Muffled laughter could even be faintly heard. The mans twisted face revealed his embarrassment. He retaliated with an even louder slap, 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-collared, 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, landing 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. Accompanied by Bai Ruweis cries, the place was filled with chaos and commotion. * * * Inside the private room on this side The sudden commotion 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 ones composure and become the butt of peoples jokes. Ashen. At the mention of his name, Huo Jingshen raised his head, Grandma. You still have to accompany Wanwan back home later. Dont drink now, and remember to limit yourself later 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 glass, 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 again later. 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 accept a waitress as their daughter-in-law? 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 salary! 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 is completely ruined because of you, and you still want your salary? 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 salary 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 a commotion 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 collar, 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 wife coming 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 immediately landed 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 minutes later. 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 played 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: The last thing he expected was that this waitress was actually Huo Zhexis girlfriend. Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: 574, an infant giant with incomplete intellect? Chapter 574: 574, an infant giant with incomplete intellect? He had initially been dining here with a friend and accidentally 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-in-law. 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 slap me, accusing me of molesting her. I was upset and slapped her back. Can you blame me for this? Is this just one slap? Shes bleeding from her mouth, are you fucking blind? Huo Zhexi glared fiercely. Mingzhu abruptly pulled him back and coldly said, Didnt your Uncle Zhou explain 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 have communicated 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 relationships with many large families in Nancheng. They help each other out in business, and regularly hold get-togethers. The Ming Familys Jade Shops just signed a contract with the Zhou Familys stores, and there are further cooperation plans 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 places. The impact would not be good, especially since it was over a woman like Bai Ruwei? That would simply make people laugh 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 planning 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 clarified, 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 explain 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 become, completely 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 Ruwei laughed 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 explained, 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 uncomfortable. 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 discomfort 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 plan. 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 - 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 salary. 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 Huos compensation for you. With your behavior of talking back to the guests today, you are fortunate to get a penny! Do you know you should compensate? 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 would come 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 glared 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 celebration last time either. What were you watching? Huo Jingshen slanted a glance 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-in-law, 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 hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen arrived at the Su family villa 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 not come 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 relatives, 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 planning to enter the European market lately, 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 regularly, its very clean. Jiang Yi warmly suggested, Aunt Yang, please take the young lady back to her room. Su Wanwan glanced 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 glance, she looked like a graceful woman in her early thirties with excellent complexion. Thank you, Aunt. Jiang Yis eyes moved, and quickly said with a smile, Dont be so polite, you seldom come 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 regularly 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 been completely 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? Oh come 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 hadnt come today. If it was about his appearance, indeed she didnt remember. He had gained a lot of weight and muscle since the last time she saw him, making him bear-like in stature. The reason she remembered him was because shed heard Jiang Yi complain about him, his good-for-nothing elder brother and sister-in-law, 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 become 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 particularly 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. The last 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 glared 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 nonchalantly, 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 - 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 becoming Su Yuntangs wife. Although the Su Family didnt compare 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 youve come 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 accuse innocent people! Accusing 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 I come 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 relatives 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 blame 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 that commanded 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 saccharin 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 relatives 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 out laughing 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 particularly 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 glance, Take note of your cousin at the hotel. Su Wanwan laughed, 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 glared at the departing Bentley Mu Shang, her eyes filled with envy. A ten-million-dollar 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 so comfortably in there? Seductress! She must have used some underhanded means to climb into Huo Jingshens bed. Why would she flaunt 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 is coming. 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 so laughable! 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 black suit of exquisite texture, with the collar slightly opened, revealing a black cashmere sweater and an impeccably 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 magnetic 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 - 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 relatives of the Su Family, leaders and colleagues at the office, or even some city leaders, everyone took a stand and flattered them. Qiao Zixin had absolutely no chances of getting close to them. However Seeing the triumphant smile on Su Wanwans face, a spark quickly flashed in Qiao Zixins eyes. Soon enough, you wont be laughing anymore. ** Wanwan, Mr. Ho. About ten minutes later, Qiao Zixin finally got a chance to chat with her parents. Huo Jingshen nodded slightly, and also greeted each one of them. Su Wanwan laughed 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, necklace, 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 was laughing 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 glass, 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 accommodating, giving her face both at home and now at the venue. She promptly called in the servant, Aunt Yang, please take the young lady 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 to complete 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 cousins lack of control when drunk. Ah, the young miss really is filial. ** Su Wanwan laid 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 accompanying 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 glanced 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 glasses of red wine in her hand, and as she entered the room, she handed one of them to Su Wanwan, Wanwan, come, 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 Zixin laughed dryly, Having a little shouldnt be a problem, is it? Its Chinese New Year after all. Besides, red wine can beautify your complexion, its good for women. I remember you used to enjoy drinking, didnt you? One glass 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-in-law of the Huo Family. Cousin, as you said, that was in the past. Now, I am the daughter-in-law 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-in-law of the Huo Family, huh? Every movement represents the image of the Huo Family, huh? Fine. Qiao Zixin lifted the glass 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 glasses 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 glass of red wine? The fox is showing its tail. She was sure, that glass of wine must have been spiked! Perhaps she put in the aphrodisiac she tried to give her at the club last 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 occasion? Su Wanwan laughed 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 glasses, coming 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 glasses to the restroom? Her gaze fell on the wine glasses. 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 salary 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 glass of cola 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 relatives 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-in-law. Firstly, because of Huo Jingshens status as the eldest grandson of the Huo family, even as an elder, he didnt dare to command 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 - 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-in-law. So overall, Su Yuntang was feeling comfortable 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 side laughed and said, Wanwan, let Aunt Yang accompany you. Huo JingShen didnt forget to remind her, Bring your cellphone with you. Okay. At this moment, Jiang Yis brother and sister-in-law came over with wine glasses 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 playing 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 you come 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 glass 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 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice. Okay, please wait. After the waiter left, Su Wanwan took out her cellphone and started playing 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 glasses 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 glasses. Fortunately, she asked for a large amount of the drug this time. After ensuring that all the powder had completely dissolved, at a glance, no trace could be found in the two glasses of orange juice, Qiao Zixin put the drugged glass on the left and held up the tray to the terrace. From a distance, she saw Su Wanwan still playing with her cellphone with her head down. Hehe. Still playing 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 found later, 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, glanced at the two glasses 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 glass. She was excited to see Su Wanwan lift up the orange juice, about to touch her lips, but Su Wanwan suddenly put the glass 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, quickly laughed 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 black 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 place for a long time and fearing Huo Jingshen might find her and foil her plan, 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 glasses of juice in front of her. Having done this, she heaved a sigh of relief and drank slowly from the glass 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 glances at Su Wanwan, watching her slowly drink. She almost couldnt contain her laughter. 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 checking company emails? Ah, theres no option. When you work for someone else and they ask you to work, you cannot refuse. Ill come back right away. Su Wanwan nodded, watching her happily leave. The smile on her face slowly faded. Shes this happy? Looking at the empty glass 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 occasion 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 glass, put down the glass, 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 relatives, 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 plan 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 to come in. However, this Jiang Quanyi seemed more suitable than the male waiter. He is Jiang Yis elder nephew, a playboy 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 relatives, as relatives, 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 - 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 glasses 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 upcoming adulterous act to take place. Any sounds would be audible to everyone outside and it would make it convenient for all the journalists attending the event to come and take pictures! When the scandal gets leaked by the journalists, the Huo Family will certainly not tolerate such a daughter-in-law. 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 glasses and turned around. She nonchalantly walked over with the wine glasses and handed the drugged one to Jiang Quanyi. Mr. Jiang. Jiang Quanyi was completely unsuspecting, he clinked his glass 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 glass, 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 collapsing. 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 remain composed, but all sorts of surreal scenes started flooding her mind, uncontrollable. Oh no! Had she accidentally 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 occasion like this. However, its a waste not to take advantage when such an opportunity falls into your lap. Although Qiao Zixin is five years older than Su Wanwan, her figure is still excellent. Furthermore, this place 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 relatives 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 relatives 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 noises coming 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 blame: Damn it, whos so shameless during the New Year? Doesnt the restaurant care? I brought my father-in-law 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 place 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 glass, his face glowing with excitement. After his fiery speech, everyone raised their glasses. Su Xueqin whispered to his daughter, Yunrong, where is Zixin? She should be toasting with your brother later, where did she go? Dad, let me go and hurry her up. Su Yunrong put down her glass, picked up her cell phone and left to find her. At this moment, Jiang Yis sister-in-law 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 just come 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 - Chapter 580: 580, corrupting public morals Chapter 580: 580, corrupting public morals This worthless nephew! Did he suddenly have a relapse, got caught womanizing again? Did something happen? Huo Jingshen stood up, glancing 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 clamor 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 dilated, seemingly oblivious to what she was saying. Su Yunrong was furious, raising her hand to slap 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 a complete 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 regular days, but now, doing such reckless things in public and messing around with the Su Familys niece Its a complete 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 face completely lost because of her daughter. If she had known this would happen, she wouldnt have come 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 exclaimed 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 blame! I suspect your daughter deliberately drugged my son! What do you mean by shifting blame? My daughter is pure and has no boyfriend. Your son must have given her the drugs! Dont try to deny it! Deny? Youre falsely accusing 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 slandering! 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 explanation, 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 relatives 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 a laughingstock among peers. Not to mention that there were city leaders present today. The videos and photos have already been circulated 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 accidental and has nothing to do with you. Su Yuntang: Someone else said, Director Su, your niece is really outrageous, isnt she? Chapter 581 - 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 relationship with her own relative. 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 blatant disrespect! Another person laughed, 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 to laugh 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 become 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 to come? Why did he still come? 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-in-law didnt come, 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 slap 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 planned 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 Nanchengs laughingstock! I am so disappointed in you! Another slap on the face jolted Qiao Zixin out of her flashback. 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! Youve completely 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 plan 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 slapped 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 uncontrollably. At this point, playing 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 explanation 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 accuse her of being a homewrecker! Su Yunrong slapped 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 blame! 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 days later, 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. Claiming that her daughter was drugged by Jiang Quanyi and violated 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 irreconcilable differences and subsequently marrying Qiao Zixin. Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: 583, the face has become round. Chapter 583: 583, the face has become 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 uncomfortable. 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 plain 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 glasses. Su Wanwan lifted her glass, 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 platter. 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 since coming to the villa. 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 plate 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 but laugh, 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-in-law, Ive been wanting to give you a gift, but I didnt know what youd like. Youre too polite, sister-in-law, 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 Wanwan laughed 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, complete 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 blank slate 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 internet. 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 play 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-in-law. 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 villa 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 glared 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 magnetic and warm, Weve known each other for a while. Its probably Xihan who told her. Chapter 584 - 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 little lamb, 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 to come 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 slapped his large 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 snowflakes 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 snowflakes silently fell on them. Extending her hand, she felt the snowflakes 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 villa garden, everything was quiet, Huo Jingshen hugged her. The road was quiet, the snowflakes 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 snowflakes 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-in-law. 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, flattery 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 snowflakes 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 relatives, and new year gatherings. However, for Mo Weiyi, apart from the lavish 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 be coming 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, she laughed and said, Dont worry, Rong An will accompany 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? The comment 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 - 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 anything comes 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, laughing 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 never lacked 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 flatter this girl who had suddenly entered their household, despite the fact that she had no blood relation 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 collarbone. The perfectly tailored dress accentuated 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 display. 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 glared 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 would come 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; shes coming alone tonight. So I need to accompany her. Oh? Huo Jingshen reached out to pick up a glass 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 accompanying her. It was Rong An. He was wearing a black 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 glance, 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 glared 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 planned 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 eyelashes 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 a large 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, playing a song. She was wearing a soft, pink puffball princess dress, long straight black hair framing her delicate face with a fair complexion, and the vision of her playing the piano was both adorable and well-behaved. The piece she was playing was a sonatina by Mozart. She played well. Watching the girl playing 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 - Chapter 586: 586, Dumb Geese Rong An Chapter 586: 586, Dumb Geese Rong An She was frequently reprimanded by Xu Xian for her lack of talent. Accusing her of being dull and forgetful, Xu Xian often compared 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 accompany 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 of comfort. 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 her complex dresses, she politely bowed to the crowd before placing 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, successful, 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 playing 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 a laugh, 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 accompanying 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 you later, 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 young lady! 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 never lagged 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, and comforting him by patting him on the shoulder, Dont worry, I have a plan 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 black suit, which looked no different from the other mens outfits around him. At first glance, there was nothing too special. He had a dark complexion, 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 plan. 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 glass. 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 black 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 flamboyant! Finally, he arrived. Seeing the empty seat beside Mo Weiyi, he raised an eyebrow with a playful smile, Yo, Little Princess, why are you all alone tonight? Where is your husband, Mr. Xiao? Didnt he come 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 glass, and clinked it against the glass in front of her, Shall we have a drink? Mo Weiyi tilted her face, looking at him coquettishly. With a lazy 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 - Chapter 587: 587, old curmudgeon Chapter 587: 587, old curmudgeon Pfft! Su Wanwan spewed out her drink. Oh, sister-in-law, 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 young lady 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 glance, Cant you last a day without causing mischief? Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Big brother, mind your words. There are ladies 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 Huanhuan come 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 multi-layered chandelier, and even the originally white sheets and duvet cover were replaced with a pink series. Yes. He decided to consummate his relationship with Little Huanhuan here tonight! Because once it passed midnight, it would be February 14th, Valentines Day in the West, a day of great commemorative 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 black 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 you come? 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 Dont come 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 was completely baffled. Thankfully, she had brought the dress along. She wore it last 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 glanced 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 her laughter, 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 black hair and wearing a slim-fitted black 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 glance 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 flawless 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 woman laid 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 blanket over Mo Weiyi, quickly disappeared out of the French window. Interior of the opulent suite, Mo Weiyi lay 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. A lady walked out from within. Is there someone else inside? Rong An asked. The mans face was stern, his body muscular, 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 hadnt come 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 heard commotion 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 glanced to the side, towards the sound. A large, muscular figure could be seen through the frosted glass 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 - Chapter 588: 588, Love Potion Fairy Chapter 588: 588, Love Potion Fairy I cant wait for this man to come out! But when she pulled open the room door, a sudden burst of footsteps echoed through the corridor. Accompanied by the kachak kachak sound of flashlights, 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 clandestine affair with Mr. Chu in here? Is the man in the room Mr. Chu? Miss Mo, how long have you been keeping this illicit relationship with Chu junior? Does Mr. Xiao know about your improper relationship with Chu junior? Is your marriage to Mr. Xiao liberally open? Mo Weiyi was completely flabbergasted. 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 exclaimed, 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 black hair exuded steam, water droplets followed along his chin, collarbone, muscular 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 the commotion 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, Claiming Ive been frequently changing girlfriends? Youre fucking slandering 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 accuse them, the journalists, of slander! 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 glance, 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 relationship? Mr. Xiao isnt here today, does this mean he approves of your relationship? 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, complemented by a diamond necklace around her neck. She looked both luxurious and opulent. Her black 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 seconds later, 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 black-rimmed glasses, got a makeover, with makeup applied, and was wearing a million-dollar 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 and composed, even when facing a major situation. She smiled graciously, even though the man was hanging onto her, even though all the camera flashes 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 Xiuhuang laughed even more joyfully. His fingers tightened around Shi Huans shoulder, looking inseparable! Chapter 589 - 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 seen coming 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 relationship 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 declared, Im from Huanyu Media. Huanyu Media? Chu Xiuhuangs laugh 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 uncomfortable, 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 cold laugh, I have already said that Mr. Chu and I did nothing. You all misunderstood. Then why did you come 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 explain 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 blame 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 place started to lose control as everyone had a different version of the story, each one more exaggerated than the last. Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face turned black 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 class 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 was complex, 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 explain 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 relaxed 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, then later on, Chu Xiuhuang really had grown accustomed 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 - 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. Incomparable! 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 clarify 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 uncontrollably, 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 explained, 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 playboy, 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 explanation for her presence in Chu Xiuhuangs room that night. She is studying to become a lawyer, Lu Chenyu is the top lawyer 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 accepting 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 flaws in the argument. It was clear that she had planned 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 place 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 glance 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 accompanied 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 to come 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 discomfort, impacting his normal BQ function. On the other hand, it may also be related 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 uncomfortably. 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 this late 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 - 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 playboy 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? Particularly about him not telling about this incident, dont worry, my boyfriend will definitely reward you handsomely. The journalists are elated at the prospect of a lavish 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 to come over immediately, which resulted in him and Miss Mo being in the same room, leading to your misunderstanding. After this explanation, the reporters did not have any complaints 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 that completely 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 congratulated 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 played be wasted? She could only pray that very few people would recognize her with her makeup on. Mo Weiyi on the side had completely petrified. If you talk about being flirtatious in Nancheng, Mr. Chu would rank second and probably no man would dare to claim the first place, 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 welcome, 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 explain, Chu Xiuhuang impatiently interrupted her, Alright little princess, youd better hurry up and let your bodyguard take you home. He didnt want to delay 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, glaring 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 surveillance here. Yes, on this level. Including the restroom. Mo Weiyi lifted his left wrist and glanced 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 the last 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 glanced 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 the company 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 the company 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 was completely 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 plan 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 her come 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 call lasted 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 - Chapter 592: 592, go and collect your penalty yourself. Chapter 592: 592, go and collect your penalty yourself. A black 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 black 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 surveillance 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 black 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 slap 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 a large picture below: A scene where she was held tightly by Chu Xiuhuang, taken last 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 flaring red as she swore, Even your sisters man is not off-limits to you, do you plan 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 old lady ceased her tirade. Shi Huan started to explain, Grandma, I was just doing Chu Xiuhuang a favor last 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 old lady 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 explain further, Chu Xiuhuang had a secret meeting in a hotel room with a married man last 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 unsuccessful suicide attempt, couldnt face to stay in Nancheng anymore. Dont worry, when she comes back, she will explain 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 body completely 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 but laugh. ** 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 black down jacket, black leather shoes, and black trousers. Her shoulder-length black hair was not styled and just hung plainly. Her small delicate face was mostly hidden behind a pair of large black-rimmed glasses. 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 plague, frequently trying to chase her out of the Shi family. Especially after that incident five years ago, she began to completely 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 Minyan laughed. 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 - 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 Minyans laugh 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 particular. 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 old lady from upstairs. Truly, the old ladys eyes looked over curiously, Huanhuan, who is this? My uncle. Shi Huan replied simply. Uncle? The old lady 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, last 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 never late. Because the Huangyous rules are set by her, employees are not allowed to be late every month. Being late once will deduct full attendance, and Huangyous full attendance bonus is 2000 yuan. * * Shi Minyan drove a black 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 explanation 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 become one of the top three investment companies 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 Minyan laughed, talking to himself, Youve been his secretary for five years, dont tell me youre suddenly thinking of changing your relationship 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 hour later, 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 relationship is not accepted 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 relation yet, Shi Huan would have been moved. But now Shi Minyan, ever since I returned to the Shi family, our relationship 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 place 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 accident 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 classmates 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 her computer. Shi Huan looked carefully. At some point during her daydreaming, a news pop-up had appeared on her computer screen. Looking at the headline, she was practically scared stiff. How did last 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 black suit, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, no makeup, looking entirely like a staff member. Therefore, most of the media praised Chu Xiuhuangs wealth, assuming her to be a secretary accompanying her boss to a banquet. Occasionally, one or two gossip outlets suggested that the two were having an office romance. But without many people believing this, and Chu Xiuhuang not commenting 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 black-rimmed glasses, 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 explanation. Chapter 594 - 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 Xiaoliu laughed awkwardly, Mostly because our Master Chu is so handsome, its a pity to match him with those internet stars who have had plastic surgery. I think Master Chu should be matched with a noble and virtuous lady. After speaking, he looked at the screen, I wonder who this cultured lady belongs to? Cultured lady? 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 C languid 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 eyelashes 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 thin layer of mockery entered Mo Weiyis face, Thats rare, you want to see my husband and come 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 the last 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 but laugh, 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 happened last night? Hasnt everything already been explained in front of the reporters? If there were still rumors circulating, 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 relationship, so she didnt think much about it. Regarding last night, Miss Tian, you were ignorant, but I dont blame you. Mo Weiyi squinted her cat-like eyes, a look of utter disdain in her lazy 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 it last night to have a fling with Mr. Chu, youre deceiving Yebai! Youre cuckolding YebaiAh! A slap struck her face squarely. Holding her face, Tian Ye was dazed for a while. This was the first time she had been slapped 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 Weiyi laughed 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 slap you, I need to ask your opinion first? Is the left side of your face too precious for me to slap? Can I only slap the right side? Now that I have slapped you, what can you do about it? Shed had enough of this Tian Ye. Mo Weiyi felt that slapping 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, accusing 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 relationship 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 surveillance 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 calculated 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 news last night. Until things become 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 - 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 classmate 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 happened last 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 articulated, 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 accusing 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 recounted last 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 bit later last 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 become 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 black 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, completely 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 accident, it seems like she would have no freedom in the future again. She pouted, I had plans 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 relatives 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 incident last night? Did you handle the incident last 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 relationship with her really just a pure student relationship? Yes. But the clothes and accessories Tian Ye wears are quite valuable. She hasnt been in the country for long, so her work salary 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 to laugh 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 succeeded 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 planning 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 finance company. Mo Weiyi listened quietly, How is it that you know all this so clearly? Chapter 596 - 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 occupational habit, I just went on and looked it up. On a whim, Mo Weiyi asked, So, did you investigate me too? Zhan Yao burst into laughter, 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 moral compass, is it that all females studying law like you have such a clear distinction between love and hate? Zhan Yao was laughing 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 many competitors 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 blankly. 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 place. 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 plan a Valentines Day activity since they met. Upon thinking of this, Mo Weiyi suddenly had no complaints. 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 incident last night, despite being a false alarm, 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. Like last night, it was clearly a premeditated attempt; it couldnt possibly be an accident. 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 enemy laid 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 arranged last 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 ghostly laugh 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 minutes later, 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 Weiyi laughed on the other end, Are you referring to the Spring Festival, or Valentines Day? Both. Happy holidays to you too. Ling Zhizhou laughed, and asked casually, Senior, are you okay? A classmate sent me a post earlier, and only then did I find out you had some trouble last night. Its okay, those were all speculations 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 check later. 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 class? There were only thirty students in the Law program, so ranking tenth was not difficult. During the last two months, she had literally spent every day cramming her English textbook. Especially during the last 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 be comforting 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 class. 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 couples coming 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 time coming to such a place, and she found it quite novel. After passing through a tall stone gate, there was an endless, neatly trimmed lawn. Despite it being the cold winter month of February, the lawn was still lush green. The strong scent of fresh grass mixed with the blue sky and white clouds, conveying a sense of desolate 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 occasion. Xiao Yebai looked at her radiant face, nodded, and let her choose. Mo Weiyi ran around, finally choosing a pair of black and red-coloured matching horse riding outfits. The menswear was naturally predominantly black, 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 me later? 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 - 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 red ladys 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, accentuating 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 black with red accents. The similarly tight and form-fitting fabric outlined his tall and slender perfect body. Without glasses, his face was handsome and sophisticated, and his scholarly 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 glance, the entire row of muscular 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 place 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 grassland, 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 me later. 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 his command, 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 black 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 obediently comply. Eventually, both horses trotted to the beginners circle. Xiao Yebai rode his horse to her side, and while walking, explained 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 succeed 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 accident 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 unwelcome 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 blasted men celebrate it together? Why did they each come one after another to ruin her day? Chapter 598 - 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 flashed across Ye Beis face. Just as he was about to speak again, a round of hoofbeats accompanied 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 Yunong laughed. 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 classmate? 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 playing around with women all day, looking so greasy! Every time she sees him smile, Mo Weiyi gets goosebumps all over. Its truly uncomfortable. 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 curled lashes, and delicate white skin, even up close showed no pores or flaws. 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 womans laughter, 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 gallantly on horseback, especially the women, was simply too entrancing. His elongated fingers squeezed her chin, Xiao Yebai looked into her clear black 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 but laugh. She walked over and placed 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 grassland. 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 replaced 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, clamping 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 place. 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 to laugh, 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 planned such a surprise for her! Such a reserved and taciturn man, would actually go to lengths to create a church for her and play the piano, all because of something she had casually mentioned. This Valentines Day really felt unique. Taking her horse-riding, and even playing 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 and landed 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 replaced with his warmth. When it was all over, Mo Weiyi suddenly exclaimed, Oh no, were in trouble! Chapter 599 - 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 playing 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, the comments 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 play 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 is coming out! Like ants to a honey pot, the crowd descended upon them. The sudden onslaught 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 clandestine meeting with Chu Xiuhuang last night? Its said that Chu Xiuhuang and Ms. Mo have always had a secret relationship, 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 forums last 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, laconic 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 mean last nights allegations are merely rumors? So Chu Xiuhuang and Ms. Mo are just regular friends? So Ms. Mo was falsely accused? Given these circumstances, what are your plans on handling these rumors? This is purely a fabricated story. I have informed the police, but it would be inappropriate to elaborate 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 declared 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 hour later, 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 Display 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 playing at? Barging in suddenly and kissing Xiao in public and landing 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 glanced 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 by comments: 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 glance, 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 of laughter 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 glances 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 flamboyant 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 clamoring 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. Oh come 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 accompanied 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 black 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 accept flowers from random men. You can only accept 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 planning 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 - 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 clear last time that Im not planning 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 place for dinner tonight, come 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 wont come, 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 classy 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, slamming 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 hour later. 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 glasses again? She was so beautiful and yet she covered her face with large black-rimmed glasses. Shi Huan pushed her glasses up, Im used to it. You look better without glasses. Zhu Mingpeng immediately complimented. 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 into laughter, 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-in-law, 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 black lightning flashing 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 glanced 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 flatly 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 a company with my friends and our business is doing well. Im the deputy general manager and also have a share in the company. 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 plan to get married either. Zhu Mingpeng drained the red wine in front of him and put down the glass 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 cant lay eggs. Who do you think would want you? What family would accept 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 splash 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 glance, 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, the commotion 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 black 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 plates 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 black 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 black fur all over, and looked fierce and terrifying. Two, because the dog was wearing a red collar 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 he landed on the womans small fair face, and spoke in a nonchalant 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 - 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, accompanying 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 slap 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 escalate, 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 finally commanded, KO, come back. Hearing the command, 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 took large 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 black 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 black 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 glance, 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 place 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! She composed 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 glanced at him. His side profile was stunningly handsome with a devilish smile playing at his lips. She felt slightly disoriented. Since youve become 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 become your girlfriend? Chu Xiuhuang just chuckled and shot her a sideways glance. Shi Huan was stunned by his look. What was that all about? Stop the car! At Chu Xiuhuangs command, 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 displaying 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, almost completely hovering over the passenger seat, and looked closely at the helpless woman. Unlike the popular internet celeb with a snake-face, Shi Huan had a heart-shaped melon seed face. However, those thick black-rimmed glasses are really a killjoy! Chu Xiuhuang directly reached out, removed the annoying black-framed glasses 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 black-rimmed glasses had already been discarded. Mr. Chu! What are you doing? Shi Huan was speechless. Last time at the hospital, her glasses 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 glasses 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 and large almond-shaped eyes. At first glance, she had a hint of classical beauty, seeming soft and weak. No make-up, no hairstyle, yet her skin was still gleaming white, no pores visible, almost flawless. 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 Axui last 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 relationship? 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 exclaim 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 place 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 a lady from a wealthy family, but they never thought It would be Secretary Shi! Whats going on? And Secretary Shi without her glasses 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 - 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 particularly crowded due to the holiday, with the lobby completely filled with people. The scent of fine wine and food filled the air, accompanied 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 rectangular table, with two sets of Western cutlery systematically placed at both ends of the table. In the middle were two elegant classical lamps, each holding a white candle. The red candlelight jumped and flickered. It was evident that the room had been painstakingly decorated. Pink roses were placed 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 glass 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 was coming to dine and insisted on arranging this lavish 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, lamb leg, snails, foie gras and red wine, along with a variety of side dishes. The dishes were exquisitely plated 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 but laugh, 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 placed 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 ninety-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 ninety-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 ninety thousand yuan. The waiter explained 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 ninety 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 his laughter. After several coughs to suppress his smile, he then took out a black 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 continued laughing devilishly, Today, Secretary Shi is treating me to this meal. Do you understand now? I understand, sir. Barely holding back his laughter, the waiter accepted 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 play! 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 clang, 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 becoming 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 eccentric, 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, glared 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 glance, 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 accident. 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 explanation. 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 men come 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 outfit combined wouldnt cover a single glass of wine here. If youre not here to hook up some guy, who would believe that? Jian Xiaoman continued to clamor persistently. Shi Huan looked at her, her eyes narrowed. She suddenly laughed. What are you laughing about? Jian Xiaoman glared at her, perhaps because this laughter 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 surveillance 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-in-law to the Chu family. The Jian family liked flaunting 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 relaxed, confidently saying, You want to buy it? Can you afford it? In her opinion, Shi Huans dress was completely lacklustre, clearly a cheap product. A poor woman who cant afford RLUUERs dress, its absolutely laughable. Jian Xiaoman continued her onslaught. 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 RLUUERs latest 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-in-law to the Chu family, and shes in a place like Jin Di. Everyone in this situation was polite on the surface, but beneath it was a competition and a display 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 blame 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 - Chapter 603: 603, Secretary Shi, Happy Valentines 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 slapping 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 relatives 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 relatives 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 play noble, its shameful! This is what they call swelling ones face to appear fat! Face slap! A blunt face slap! Jian Xiaomans face turned red and white in embarrassment as she was watched by everyone. Shi Huan laughed unrestrainedly, feeling extremely refreshed. In Jian Xiaomans eyes, it could only be blinding. For the first time in her life, she had been slapped in public, and everyone was laughing 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 glasses, 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 slapping herself in the face. The show last 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 popular 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 a large 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 that comes 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 glanced at Chu Xiuhuang. Really? Seeing the cold glance from Chu Xiuhuang, the waiter immediately corrected himself, No matter, this is our clubs complimentary item. Every table of customers receives it. Sir, you can give it to the lady. 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 glanced at the bouquet. Well, she had to accept 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, laying trays of beautiful desserts, an exquisite fruit plate, and two more each waving a glow stick at their sides. The room lights were turned off, the glow stick was crackling, sparks splashed, accompanied 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, completely 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 uncomfortable 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 calculating 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 black 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 was laughed 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 plainly 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 Yuan community, 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 glasses on. But she wasnt wearing glasses right now. Shi Huan touched her face. She almost forgot, her glasses 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 - 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 too late 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 explain, 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 particularly 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 this late 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 must commend your discerning eye, recognizing that I am indeed the better catch. Isnt it quite normal for Huanhuan to disregard your disgusting and incompetent son? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile playing 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 nonchalant, yet it instilled an inexplicable fear. Zhus wifes big brother scrutinized this carefully. Chu Xiuhuang was outfitted in a crisp black suit with handmade shoes to match. From top to bottom, he was impeccably 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 a lawful 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 try laying 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, explaining 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, completely 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 suddenly landed 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 tobacco 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, nonchalantly walking over to sit on the living room sofa and even hitched up his leg. What do you think, isnt this couch quite comfortable? Shi Huan dryly laughed, Hmm. The luxurious large 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 incredibly comfortable. 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 felt compelled to explain, We usually dont have guests over. So, she usually drank plain 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 plain water, but then Didnt I bring my own cup last time? Why are you still giving me a disposable cup! Shi Huan sheepishly replied, I forgot. Chu Xiuhuang glanced 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 getting late. 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 accompany 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 playing 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 balance 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 glance 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 plan 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? Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: 605, Chu Er plays tricks: Im sticking to you now! Chapter 605: 605, Chu Er plays tricks: Im sticking to you now! Its getting late. Im in this state and you still want me to go? What on earth are you thinking? Shi Huan fell silent. The room descended into an eerie silence, with even a pin-drop being heard. Chu Xiuhuang just sat there, his sharp phoenix eyes focused and deep, staring at her like a predator. Eat her up? Should he or shouldnt he? Eat or not? His slender phoenix eyes swirled with hidden currents, until suddenly a piercing ringtone of a cell phone broke through the silence. Chu Xiuhuang grabbed his phone impatiently and glanced at the screen, feeling even more annoyed. After unconsciously licking the corner of his cheek, he reluctantly rose from the sofa. Shi Huan quickly averted her gaze. Unable to resist, she coughed twice as a hint. Stop coughing, do you think I wouldnt know myself? Shi Huan: Fine. A few minutes later, Chu Xiuhuang finally got up, strolled over to the door and flung it open, Sooner or later, youll be the death of me! First, she had kicked him in the office, then bumped into him at the hospital, and just now she had What did all this mean? Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fist, and suddenly spouted angrily, I dont care, Im damned hooked on you now! Remember this, its been the third time now, and you will pay me back tenfold in the future! One time counts for ten! Do you understand? Shi Huan was taken aback, What? Understand what? What did one time counts for ten mean? What did all this imply? Before Shi Huan could respond, the man left, swinging the door behind him arrogantly. ** At the same time, at Nangong Hospital, in a luxurious ward. Shi Minyan stood by the bed, his normally handsome face was now shrouded with gloom. Zhu Mingpeng was in a hospital gown, feet and face wrapped in gauze, and even his neck and wrists were bandaged. He looked utterly distressed. Minyan, you see, I was bitten by a dog, it really wasnt my fault. It was your niece who splashed red wine on me first, hit me with money, humiliated me in front of so many people, and finally set a ferocious dog on me. Im the victim! What did you say to her? I really didnt say anything, your niece is just a shrew. Also, since she has a boyfriend, why would she lie to me? If I had known she had a boyfriend, I wouldnt have bothered. Do you know, I gave her 521 roses and it cost me more than twenty thousand dollars, I even invited her to a dinner costing a few thousand dollars, who did I provoke? Zhu Mingpeng was absolutely upset. He thought because of what had happened a few years ago, Shi Huan might have some issues with men. For so long, no man had shown any interest in her. He thought he could impress her by doing something special for Valentines Day. He spent a lot buying 521 roses and treating her to a fancy restaurant, just to show his sincerity. Who would have thought.. Shi Huan, who looked as innocuous as a bunny, turned out to be as ferocious as a wild cat, first splashing red wine on him, then publicly striking his face. As if that werent enough, two men came to back her up and even set a dog on him! On Valentines Day, instead of getting a date after giving flowers and inviting her to dinner, he ended up being bitten by a dog. Who else could be as unlucky as him? Zhu Mingpeng could not swallow his anger. Even though he was staying in such a good hospital, he was determined to blame Shi Huan for everything. If the Shi family did not give a satisfactory explanation, he would not let go. He gritted his teeth and said, Medical expenses, hospitalization fees, and even my mental loss fees, as well as the money spent on chasing her, all must be fully returned to me! Otherwise, Ill see you in court! Ill sue you to death! See you in court? Shi Minyan sneered, Heh, Zhu Mingpeng, I know Huanhuans temperament best. If it werent for your filthy mouth, she would not splash you with red wine, let alone assault you. Zhu Mingpeng felt guilty, but he stubbornly retorted, I didnt make up those messy things about her five years ago! What, after all was said and done, are you afraid of it being talked about? Minyan, you may love this niece of yours, but there should be limits. This niece of yours seems calm and quiet on the outside, but who knows what shes up to behind the scenes. She was fooling around with an old man a few years ago, even got pregnant and gave birth to a dead fetus. Im not disgusted by her past and am helping the Shi family to deal with this trouble. Instead, you should be thanking me. Otherwise, do you think any other man would want her? Ah! Before he could finish his sentence, a punch hit him, and he was knocked off the hospital bed. The IV stand was knocked over, and he was knocked to the ground along with a loud crash, which sounded particularly creepy in the middle of the night. Help, someone! Help! Theres assault! Zhu Mingpengs hysterical cries rang out. Shi Minyan grabbed his collar and kept on swinging his fists. Due to the forceful removal of the IV needle, blood flowed out of Zhu Mingpengs hand. His face which was already scratched by a dog was now marred by flying bandages due to the blows, his mouth was split, and his eyes were swollen. Finally, the doctors and nurses came in and pulled Shi Minyan away. For a man who was usually gentle and elegant, his countenance was fearsome, his eyes bloodshot. He roared, Who told you about what happened back then? Zhu Mingpeng trembled, but didnt want to answer. Speak! Who exactly told you about what happened back then? At Shi Minyans thunderous roar, Zhu Mingpeng jerked in fright and quickly replied, It was Youran, Youran told me! Shi Minyan gave a bloody laugh, Good. He turned and left the room. Zhu Mingpeng, clenching his teeth in pain, hurriedly pulled out his mobile phone to call his family. Just as the call connected, Madame Zhu was shouting from the other end, Mingpeng, what exactly did you say to Shi Huan? What do you mean? Do you even know who was the man who set the dog on you today? Who was it? Zhu Mingpeng was out of his mind with fear when the dog bit him, how could he have noticed who the man was? Madame Zhu said, It was Chu Xiuhuang, the eldest son of the Chu Family! Impossible! Zhu Mingpeng cried out, He is just her boss. But the several companies we, the Zhu Family, have partnered with just called, saying that Chu Xiuhuang directly ordered them to cancel all collaborations with us. What? Why is this happening? Now Zhu Mingpeng was suddenly in a panic. The company had just signed several contracts with the start of the new year, but if things fell through now Madame Zhu sighed, Dont you understand? You upset Shi Huan, it displeased Chu Xiuhuang and he took action against our familys company. Mingpeng, our Zhu Family is doomed this time! Truly doomed! Zhu Mingpeng: The phone fell to the ground. Only now did he realize who he had actually offended. But its too late for regrets now. ** As soon as Su Wanwan arrived at the TV station today, she checked her final exam grades and ranked third in the class. The first place was Jian Shuhao, the second place was another girl. Su Wanwan was very satisfied with her results, so she took a screenshot and sent it to Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen replied immediately: [Youre incredible, baby!] Then, Su Wanwan asked, [Is there a reward?] Huo Jingshen responded, [Yes.] Su Wanwans eyes lit up, [What kind of reward?] Youll find out tonight, baby. At night again? Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan immediately had some unpleasant thoughts. This despicable man! Lili, your flowers! The receptionist suddenly walked into the office with a delivery boy. When everyone saw the roses delivered, there was a gasp in the whole office. 99 pink roses. And an exquisite gift. Upon opening, it was a platinum necklace. Consequently, everyone crowded around expressing their admiration. Today was Valentines Day, even though Su Wanwan didnt take it seriously at first, but not long after, another delivery boy came in, delivering 52 champagne roses this time. Then a while later, a large bunch of bright red roses were delivered. A short time after that, even the blue enchantress flowers arrived. Truth be told, the atmosphere in the office had completely transformed. Even Zhao Qianqian came over to ask, Wanwan, didnt your husband, Little Huo, send anything? With an air of indifference, Su Wanwan replied, What would he need to send, were an old married couple. Zhao Qianqian was taken aback, Already acting like an old couple and youve only been married for a short time? ** At lunch, the rare visiting Di Chenghe arrived with many staff members following him and a large bouquet of red roses in his arms. When he let his staff start handing out roses to the ladies in the office, the festive atmosphere had been elevated to its peak. Each intern, including Su Wanwan, also received a red rose. But she was a little upset because other than the few messages that morning, Huo Jingshen hadnt sent anything else. By the afternoon, even Mo Weiyi had started posting lovey-dovey messages in the group chat. Thats when Su Wanwan started to get mad. How could Xiao Yebai, that cold-blooded animal, know to take Mo Weiyi to play the piano at the church, and yet this despicable Huo Jingshen had made no loving gestures today at all? Was he just waiting for tonights activities? Beast! Bum! Shameless! Cheeky rogue! In a huff, Su Wanwan opened Huo Jingshens wechat profile, and directly changed his nickname to Huo Rogue. ** As it was nearing the end of the workday, the Rogue finally sent her a WeChat message, Baby, what time do you finish work? Su Wanwan didnt even want to respond. But not long after, he actually called. Su Wanwan answered grudgingly. What do you want? Whats wrong? Is work really busy? What do you want? Su Wanwan said with a purposely cold tone. Whats wrong, baby? Being the astute man he is, Huo Jingshen immediately caught on that something was off. Su Wanwan retorted, Im busy at work, if its nothing then I need to hang up. Youre just an intern, how can you be busier than me? So what if I am an intern? Am I eating your familys rice? Isnt the rice you eat every day from my family? You Su Wanwan was caught off guard. Alright, alright, I was just joking. Unable to suppress a chuckle, Huo Jingshen said, Ok, what time will you be free? What do you want? Can I do you? You cheeky rogue! Huo Jingshen finally let out a chuckle, unable to hold it back any longer. A mature mans deep and sonorous laughter is extremely sexy, even more so when it is being transmitted through a receiver, its no exaggeration to say it could get you pregnant. Im coming to pick you up now, come down when youve finished. Ill hang up first. After saying this, Huo Jingshen hung up the phone. Su Wanwan thought he was probably coming to pick her up for a Valentines Date, maybe there will even be a large bouquet of roses? Thinking of this, her heart was glad and her lips couldnt help but curl up into a smile, causing Huang Gangsheng opposite her to ask, Why is Little Su so happy? Are you going on a Valentines Day date tonight with your husband? Su Wanwan just smiled without saying anything. ** When it was time to end work, Su Wanwan swiftly got up, carrying the bouquet of roses, and took the elevator down. When she arrived at the elevator entrance, and the doors opened, she saw Xia Mei walk out from inside. Su Wanwans heart thumped. Normally, she didnt leave right when work ended, but today was an exception. So she had run into her. All she could say was Bad luck. Good day, Editor. Xia Mei glanced at her casually, In a hurry to go on a date? After quickly considering it, Su Wanwan nodded in acknowledgment, Yes. Unexpectedly, Xia Mei replied, I was originally going to discuss the shooting arrangement for tomorrow with you, but since youre going on a date, go ahead. Huh? Happy Valentines Day. Having said that, Xia Mei walked inside. Upon entering the elevator, Su Wanwans little brow furrowed. Could she have any more bad luck? And was Xia Mei doing this on purpose? She had been interning here for over half a month now, and even though Zhao Qianqian had been on several shoots, she had not been included on any. On any other day she wouldnt mention the arrangement, but today, the day she leaves work early, she mentioned arranging it. Huh. Forget it. Su Wanwan pressed the first floor button. She had no idea what she had done to upset Xia Mei, but the relationship between women can be quite complex. Su Wanwan was not one to let such things bother her. As long as she did her work conscientiously during her internship, she would not insist on staying if she wasnt offered a chance, she would accept whatever comes her way. When the elevator reached the ground floor and she walked out of the doors of the television station, from a distance, she saw that familiar black Bentley Mulsanne parked by the roadside. Chapter 606 - Chapter 606: 606, taking the wife to a beauty pageant! Chapter 606: 606, taking the wife to a beauty pageant! She slowly walked over, opened the passenger seat door, first placed the flower inside, and then got in. As expected, Huo Jingshen glanced over, Whered this flower come from? Su Wanwan smilingly said, Mr. Di gave it to me. Huo Jingshens face darkened. He said that women who have to work on Valentines Day are fallen angels in their previous lives, so he gave each of us little angels a rose. Su Wanwan grinned. So, one for each person. Huo Jingshen chuckled, driving the car away. What does it matter if its one per person? Its the thought that counts, Su Wanwan said. Then, she reached over to nudge his arm, Honey, what do you plan to give me for Valentines Day? Huo Jingshen cast her a sidelong glance, Isnt having such a perfect husband like me enough? Su Wanwan: ** Twenty minutes later, they pulled up at a building. After getting out of the car, Su Wanwan thought Huo Jingshen was taking her out for a candlelight dinner, but instead, he walked directly into a styling salon. And it wasnt the usual one they went to, but a salon with a vintage royal-styled ambiance designed by a French designer. As soon as they went in, several stylists approached and began fussing over Su Wanwan C washing her hair, styling it, applying makeup, picking out jewelry and shoes. Finally, with the stylists help, she put on a complexly elaborate vintage royal-styled long dress. Such a dress was very particular about body shape and could easily make her look bloated. At first, Su Wanwan was a bit worried but the dress fit quite well when she put it on. She was tall and slim. This was her first time wearing such a dress, and she looked elegant and noble. Her every frown and smile seemingly carried a myriad of charms. To match the dress, her seaweed-like long curly hair was styled in a half-casual, half-up princess style. The make up on her face was classical, especially the bright red lipstick, making her skin look as fair as frost, stunning and bold. With a jade necklace, and a green jade bracelet on her wrist, paired with crystal-detailed high heels, she epitomized elegance. She was breathtakingly beautiful. The most stunning was the little peach mole at the corner of her eyes. The makeup artist outlined it into a peach flower shape. Her flirtatious glances were alluring C a unique finishing touch. The staff couldnt help exclaiming at her reflection in the mirror: Wow, Mrs. Huo is really beautiful! This dress fits Mrs. Huo perfectly. Great figure and temperament! Shes so pretty! Su Wanwan, looking at herself in the mirror, felt more grand than all her previous styles. Amidst the compliments, even though she knew they were just flattery, she felt her cheeks growing red. Was she supposed to be this dressed up for Valentines Day? It didnt feel like a holiday celebration, more like a beauty pageant. Upon reaching outside, under the radiant chandelier, Huo Jingshen is all dressed up in a formal black three-piece suit, sophisticated and handsome. Seeing the undisguised surprise in his eyes, Su Wanwan felt a flutter in her heart. Huo Jingshen strode over, holding her arm and visually examined her from top to bottom. Todays little lady looks exceptionally beautiful. The antique styled dress seemed a bit too grand but regarding her, it couldnt have suited better. After all, she had a solid foundation, a small face with perfect features. She could carry any style, very adaptable. He couldnt resist lowering his head. Although conscious of not smudging her makeup, he kissed her cheek. The surrounding staff were instantly heart-eyed. a handsome man and a beautiful woman, living like characters in a drama series, declaring their love so overtly on Valentines Day, it was too much! Baby, you look very beautiful today! He whispered in her ear. Su Wanwans pretty face turned redder. Once out of the styling salon, and settled in the car, Su Wanwan couldnt help but ask, Where are we going for dinner? All that primping had taken almost an hour, and she was getting hungry from eating an early lunch. Huo Jingshen mentioned a restaurants name. Hearing the restaurants name, Su Wanwan frowned, Thats so far away. We could have just eaten at home. She still felt more comfortable spending the holiday at home. After all, Huo Jingshens culinary skills were extraordinary; he could cook both Chinese and Western dishes, and his presentation was as good as any restaurants. Its beautiful but also tiring. She would have to get up early tomorrow to go to the TV station. Shall we go eat there? Huo Jingshen looked out of the car following her finger. His face darkened. A Sha Xian Snack? Im hungry! Su wanwan complained. Huo Jingshen gave two light coughs. Who said we are only going for a meal? What else are we going to do? Enter a beauty contest. What! Su Wanwan was frozen in surprise. Are they really going into a beauty contest? What the hell? ** The Ming Family is considered an unmistakable large surname in Nancheng, with a lineage that can reportedly be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They are in-laws with the Huo Family, ranking among the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Nancheng. Over the years, the Family Head of the Ming Family has been in the jewelry and jade business, owning countless jewelry shops and jade shops, as well as independent jade mining and design companies, and has partnerships with more than 20 jade mining provinces and cities across the country. The Ming Family has many descendants, especially many women. Mingzhus grandmother, originally a beauty pageant queen, gave birth to two handsome sons and two beautiful daughters. The eldest and youngest sons wives gave birth to two girls and three boys, including a pair of beautiful twin sisters. Although the family has experienced some struggles within the wealthy family, the family is now thriving with descendants prospering greatly. Because the Ming Family has so many beautiful women and the family is involved in the jewelry and jade business, they have set up a beauty contest segment during their annual celebration. The invitees are all women from the Ming Family, including well-connected friends within their social circle and members of their charitable organization, the Mingli Association. It is said that the Mingli Association has been established for 10 years now, and this beauty contest tradition has also been carried on for 10 years. There are now 10 Charm Goddess crowns scattered within the family. The current president of the Mingli Association is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ming Family, Madam Ming. Su Wanwan nodded as if she understood, after hearing all of this. No wonder Mingzhu is so generous; her maternal family is rich, and her mother holds a high status in the Ming Family. At the banquet hall, Su Wanwan saw many beautiful women in all styles and shapes, all in exquisite evening gowns, with delicate makeup, dressed in various radiant colors, and looking very competitive. The men were all in suits and ties, looking graceful and elegant. The whole scene was the epitome of luxury. There was even a full symphony orchestra playing in one corner, a scene that would typically appear only on TV screens. Originally, Su Wanwan thought her dress was a bit over the top, but there were many people who were even more extravagantly dressed. ** At seven in the evening, the banquet officially began. In addition to the elderly Mr. Huo, as the in-laws to Mingzhu, all the Huo Family members were present, including Huo Qinyus family. Madam Huo, looking at her beautiful daughter-in-law dressed so grandly, was so excited that she immediately took Su Wanwans hand and introduced her to Mrs. Ming. I want you to meet your Ming grandmother and make a good impression. When she knows youre my granddaughter-in-law, I guarantee shell pick you tonight as the Charm Goddess. With the elderly Mrs. Huo being so enthusiastic, Huo Jingshen didnt object, and Su Wanwan had no choice but to follow. The matriarch of the Ming Family, Mrs. Ming, was at the main table and was talking with her sisters-in-law. Even though they couldnt participate in todays beauty contest, they were all dressed in luxurious clothes. When she saw Madam Huo, Mrs. Ming quickly stood up and graciously greeted her. Su Wanwan observed her carefully. Mrs. Ming, Mingzhus mother. She was wearing a dark red Chinese cheongsam dress with a slender figure and delicate bone structure. At seventy-two years old, her elegant hairdo showed her grace and charm when she smiled. She had an excellent spirit and an even better temperament. One could only imagine how stunningly beautiful she must have been in her youth. Mingzhu was so beautiful, Huo Nuanyang was handsome and dashing, and even Ye Qitian had a handsome face like a captivating anime character. It could all be attributed to their superior genetic inheritance. Oh, this is Ashens wife, right? Mrs. Ming was also examining Su Wanwan. Her daughter had already told her that Huo Jingshens wife was Su Wanwan, but today was the first time they met in person. Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: 607, show off, show off, show off! Just show off here! Chapter 607: 607, show off, show off, show off! Just show off here! Old Mrs. Huo hummed proudly, What do you think, isnt my granddaughter-in-law beautiful? Su Wanwan felt awkward. How could anyone respond to such a question asked directly? And so. She is beautiful! So charming! She and Ashen make a good match! Grandma Huo, you have excellent taste! Its not about my taste. Old Mrs. Huo looked even more pleased, It was Ashen, who took a fancy to her at first sight, brought her home that very day, and then got married. Now, their relationship is excellent! They are even preparing to give me a great-grandson! Su Wanwan: Those people were taken aback: So soon? Old Huo, youre about to have four generations under one roof! Congratulations! Auntie Huo is so blessed! Old Mrs. Huo, grinning from ear to ear, took Su Wanwans hand and began to introduce everyone, Wanwan, this is your Granny Ming, this is your Auntie Ming, this is your Aunt Ming, this is your younger Aunt Ming Su Wanwan was getting dizzy with all the introductions, but she politely greeted them all, Hello Granny, hello Auntie, hello Aunty. Good, good, good. Old Mrs. Ming looked satisfied. She is sweet-mouthed, looks charming. How old is she this year? Twenty. Old Mrs. Ming was surprised, So young? Yes, shes currently a junior in the journalism department at Nancheng University. She even placed third in her class in the last semester exam. Old Mrs. Ming was even more surprised, So shes a top student. Absolutely. Old Mrs. Huo kept boasting, Shes interning at a TV station, its Old Gus company, Huanyu Media. Old Mrs. Ming kept nodding her head. Suddenly, the second lady of the Ming family asked, Ashen will be 31 after the New Year, right? Old Mrs. Ming quickly added, So Ashen is a whole decade older than Wanwan? What do you know? Old Mrs. Huo said in a boastful tone, Men should be older, they know how to take care of people better! Having a younger wife brings charm to the relationship, theyre very happy! Afterwards, she didnt forget to ask the second old lady of the Ming family, By the way, has your Sicheng gotten married yet? I remember hes almost thirty, isnt he? Did he come today? Talking about what should not be talked about! Who doesnt know that the second son of the Ming family got married early, the second old lady had her children early, the eldest son Ming Sicheng, who is now the successor to the Ming family business, is thirty this year, famously single in the circle! The second old lady of the Ming familys smile stiffened instantly, He is a workaholic, said there was an emergency at the company, and had to work overtime today. Oh dear, he has to work even on Valentines Day, his own company and hes still working so hard, no wonder he cant find a wife! Once hes over thirty, hell be a leftover man, youd better hurry up and arrange some blind dates for him! The second old lady of the Ming family: Its your family who are leftover men! Your entire family are leftover men! My Ashen is the best, I dont even need to worry about him, he just found himself a beautiful wife, this child is so considerate, haha. The second old lady of the Ming family once again: Show-off! Keep showing off! Id like to see how long you can show off! Su Wanwan was utterly awkward. Grandma, are you sure you brought me here to earn points? Looking at the color of the second old lady of the Ming familys face, Im afraid Im going to lose points later. * * While Su Wanwan was smiling sweetly on one side, a few gossipy women started discussion in the corner. Is that the daughter-in-law of the Huo family? I heard her surname is Su, she just got married to Huo Jingshen half a year ago. Surname Su? Are there any families with the surname Su in Nancheng? Ive never heard of it before. Hahaha. The women laughed together. Xing Siqing laughed and said, Sister Haijuan, my sister-in-laws grandfather is the former director of the TV station, and her father has just been promoted to be the director of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau. Really? The young woman called Haijuan, dressed in red and as beautiful as a peach blossom, scoffed disdainfully, I have never heard of it. Another girl, who looked somewhat similar to Haijuan and was young and immature, said, By the way, Sister Siqing, I heard that this Su Wanwan has a messy personal life. She even had an affair with your brother before, is that true? Xing Siqing nodded immediately, Yes, thats true, Hailan. All because shes beautiful, my elder brother liked her a lot. Beautiful? Haijuan scoffed again. Others immediately began to flatter, Shes nowhere near as beautiful as Sister Haijuan. Exactly. Sister Haijuan is a begonia flower, that Su Wanwan at best is a morning glory! Look at her clothes, look at her jewelry, as if shes never worn anything nice before. Low-class people just cant make it! I really dont know what Huo Jingshen sees in her? Xing Siqing chimed in, Actually, my cousin and Sister Jingyi were getting along so well, who knew this Su Wanwan would suddenly pop up, its really strange. Ming Haijuan looked at Huo Jingshen, her slender fingers gently cradling the wine glass. She had just returned from study abroad, except for when she was younger and too naive, today was her first time seeing him. The eldest grandson of the Huo Family, low profile and reserved, yet so charming. Rumored to be a man who could stir the entire European economic situation when he was in the United Kingdom, now back home to take over the Huo Family business. Indeed, he was a very outstanding and seemingly perfect man. She raised an eyebrow, Siqing, shall we go meet your cousin together? Xing Siqing rejoiced in her heart, Sure. Sister, and Sister Siqing, Ill go too! Ming Hailan hurriedly followed. At that moment, Huo Jingshen was chatting with Ming Jing. Big brother, my sister-in-law looks great in her outfit today. Huo Jingshen hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile but said nothing. My sister-in-law is so popular, arent you worried, big brother? Ming Jing asked. Huo Jingshen looked up to see the Old Lady Mings table, surrounded by quite a few people, at first, only a few elders, gradually, even there were men, each holding up their glasses to exchange pleasantries. Indeed, as soon as you walked in with my sister-in-law, at least 10 people had already asked me, said Ming Jing. Asking about what? Huo Jingshens voice was low. Ming Jing said, Several of my cousins, and even my sixth uncle, are not married yet Tell them to give up on that thought, he interrupted bluntly. Of course. Ming Jing added fuel to the fire, But there were also people asking about you, several of my cousins are also unmarried. Upon hearing this, the usually aloof man became more haughty, Tell them to give up on that thought as well. Ming Jing stifled a laugh, Big Brother, didnt you used not to bring my sister-in-law out much? Gatherings like tonights were countless among the high society, there was almost one every once in a while. But Huo Jingshen, ever the low-key person, rarely attended himself, let alone bring Su Wanwan along. Even if due to personal relationships he at times couldnt help but attend, it would only be a walk-through with Su Wanwan at most, rarely like tonight, dressed so formally, and even introduced by Old Lady Huo herself. Something seemed off. Huo Jingshen took a sip of red wine, the corner of his mouth turned up slightly, Because, things have changed. Ming Jing: Didnt understand. Before he could ask, a flame-red figure suddenly caught his eye. Ming Jings heart dropped a beat, and she swiftly said, Oh, Big Brother, my older sister is here, I warn you, you need to be careful, shes a seductive snake. Before she finished speaking, the seductive snakes voice came. Xiaoshen. Ming Jing put on an innocent smile, Big sister, Siqing. Ming Haijuan, holding a glass of red wine, walked over with style, naturally accompanied by Xing Siqing, who was elegantly dressed in a pale yellow dress. Arriving at the front. Xing Siqing and Ming Hailan, the two younger girls, greeted them first. Ming Haijuan put on a red lip gloss, smiled radiantly at Huo Jingshen, her voice was even more flirtatious and sultry, Brother Huo, its been over a decade since we last met, right? I didnt expect youd come back home and even got married, here, let me toast to you. Huo Jingshen touched her glass of wine lightly with his, just as she took a sip, he quickly put his wine glass down, Excuse me, my wife just returned, I must go converge with her. Saying this, he turned around and walked away directly. Not only did he not drink the wine, but he didnt even take his glass. He didnt even give Ming Haijuan any time to react. Watching her instantly awkward face, and the surprise on Xing Siqings face, Ming Jing stifled a laugh, Big sister, I also have to go entertain the guests, if youll excuse me. Over there, indeed Old Lady Huo was bringing Su Wanwan back to her seat. Ming Haijuan watched Huo Jingshen go sit down, the handsome mature man and the stunningly beautiful young girl, sitting together indeed looked so intimate and well matched. Sister Haijuan, look, my Big Brother really seems to have lost his soul! I really dont know what kind of seductive strategies that Su Wanwan used! Xing Siqing couldnt help but whisper complainingly. Who knew Dont say that. Ming Haijuan squinted her stunning phoenix eyes, I didnt carefully look before, but now, this Su Wanwan does appear to be very beautiful. Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: 608, is Wanwan a bumpkin? Chapter 608: 608, is Wanwan a bumpkin? Haijuan, you Xing Siqing was stunned. Whats going on? Why is everyone saying that Su Wanwan is beautiful? But no matter how beautiful, its just a skin cover. Ming Haijuan took a sip of red wine, her red lips curling into a smile, Whats beneath this skin, cant be brought onto the stage! Xing Siqing lightened up, Haijuan, I think you have a point. Shes still in school, but her grades are terrible. She hasnt even finished her studies in two years of studying abroad, shes totally an ignorant fool! Anyway, I think my brother just finds her interesting for now. Im waiting for the day he abandons her. You say, shes an ignorant fool? Ming Haijuan raised her delicate eyebrows, with a thoughtful look on her face. Yes, when she was in school, she spent each day causing trouble. If she wasnt picking fights with people, she was messing around in bars. Shes been to the police station too many times to count. Its only now that shes married my brother shes started playing nice, putting on the pretense of a well-bred young lady. My grandparents are all deceived by her. Xing Siqing relentlessly blackened her image. Because the Huo Family truly adores Su Wanwan, shes recently smartened up, listened to Huo Qinyus words, and stopped openly confronting Su Wanwan, so as not to always end up the loser. The more she hid her feelings, the deeper her hatred. Just like a seed suppressed by soil, the more pressure, the more crazily it sprouts. Todays occasion held by the Ming Family, with its powerful women, Xing Siqing wished she could stir up trouble and have everyone despise Su Wanwan, helping her deal with Su Wanwan. Xing Siqing added fuel to the fire, Just now, my grandmother specifically asked her to meet Mrs. Ming, my second aunt also has a good relationship with her. Haijuan, do you think Mrs. Ming will give her the charm goddess crown tonight? Sure enough, upon hearing this, not only Ming Haijuan, even Ming Hailans complexion changed. How is that possible, the crown is always won by us, the Ming family, every year. Shes a Su, why should she get it! Ming Hailan, being young, couldnt keep her composure and blurted out. If thats the case, lets expose her true self to avoid the elders being fooled by her. Ming Haijuan gave a cold laugh, Hailan, I believe its your turn to perform piano tonight, right? Ming Hailan was taken aback, Big sister, what do you mean by this? Find a chance later and let Mrs. Huo get on stage. Ming Haijuan pondered a bit, Say that she will perform with you. Ming Hailan: .. Xing Siqing, however, was instantly overjoyed. She was certain that this slut, Su Wanwan, couldnt handle being on stage. From the moment they met, shes been nothing more than a ruffian, spending her days smoking, drinking, and messing around with men. How could she possibly have any talents? Moreover, Su Yuntang doesnt care about this daughter at all, how could he possibly spend money on her to learn high-end talents such as piano and violin? Imagining Su Wanwan making a fool of herself on stage later, Xing Siqing could hardly control her excitement. ** During the banquet, there were some performances on the stage and cameras were constantly filming downstage. So despite the array of exquisite food on the table, not many were truly enjoying it. Su Wanwan was already terribly hungry, but for the sake of her image, she picked up a pastry with her chopsticks, placed it in her mouth, and ate it in small, elegant bites. Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her, picking up a big pigs foot! The pig skin was roasted to a glossy shine, sprinkled with spring onions and red peppers. Its color was tempting, its meat fragrant and delicious, making it simply irresistible! Spicy beauty foot. Huo Jingshen placed the chunk of pigs foot in the small bowl in front of her. Su Wanwans mouth twitched, Im not eating it! Huo Jingshen: .. Had she changed? Su Wanwan bluntly returned the pigs foot to his bowl, You eat it. Huo Jingshen said, Baby, are you trying to lose weight? The sharp-eared Mrs. Huo from the side interjected, Why lose weight? Wanwan, youre too thin, eat more! How can she bear heavy grandsons for me if she doesnt eat! Having said that, the old lady picked up her chopsticks and picked up several pieces of chicken, duck, fish, and meat all into Su Wanwans bowl. Looking at the small bowl piled up like a mountain, Su Wanwan wanted to cry. Werent we here for the beauty contest? Why are they giving me so much to eat? Arent they afraid Ill deform my gown later? Fortunately, her mobile phone rang. Su Wanwan picked up the phone and glanced at it, Im going outside to take a call. Not long after Su Wanwan left, Mrs. Huo asked, Why hasnt Zhexi come over yet? Mrs. Ming actually liked this grandson a lot. He was sweet-talking and knew how to make a scene, but he hadnt come over today? Mingzhu said, He said hes already downstairs, looking for a parking spot. What happened with his girlfriend last time? How was it resolved? Mingzhu said, They broke up a long time ago. Mrs. Huo nodded and didnt ask any more. ** The call was from Huang Gangsheng, asking her to come to the TV station early the next day because there was a studio shooting. He wanted her to come along and watch. I can finally participate in a shooting! Su Wanwan was very excited, Sure, what time? Nine oclock, is that all right? Yes, yes. Even if it wasnt convenient, she had to make it work. Ever since she helped Huang Gangsheng before the New Years, he had taken good care of her, always involving her in his work. She couldnt afford to miss these incredible opportunities. Well, you should go to bed early tonight, haha, dont let it delay getting up early tomorrow. Huang Gangsheng joked and then hung up. As soon as Su Wanwan put down her phone, she saw a familiar figure emerging from the restroom across the way. Dressed in a dark red suit with fiery red hair, he looked saucy and wicked, like a little hooligan. Mistress. Huo Zhexi was standing there waiting, when he heard that, he turned around, knitted his brows, and got angry at Su Wanwan, Fuck, how many times have I told you, dont call me mistress! Oh. Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, Third brother. Do you believe Ill slap you? No. You Your big brother is in there. After hearing this, Huo Zhexi withdrew the hand he had raised. Su Wanwan smiled and said, If I hadnt kept quiet last time, your big brother would have taught you a lesson. You dare to lay your hands on me? Where do you get the guts? Huo Zhexi gritted his teeth but could only glare at her. Then he said. Just you wait! One day, Ill watch you cry as you leave the Huo family! Su Wanwan stood there, raising her eyebrows. Crying as she left the Huo family? Was he joking? Even if the day came when she really left the Huo family, she would never cry! She was that confident! Seeing that Huo Zhexi was still standing there, she couldnt help asking, What are you doing here? None of your business. Su Wanwan saw him constantly texting on his phone and had a bold guess, How are things with you and Bai Ruwei? Huo Zhexi looked at her warily, You wretched girl, you want to run off and report to my mom again, dont you? Su Wanwan: Forget it. She didnt want to meddle in other peoples business. Su Wanwan turned and entered the banquet hall, returning to her seat. Who knew that not long after, Huo Zhexi entered. The banquet was grand, and he was the last to arrive. Along with his red suit and red hair, he attracted quite a few peoples attention as soon as he entered the banquet hall. Actually, Huo Zhexi was quite handsome; he was just too thin and tall. At first glance, he looked like a defenseless chicken. However, his face was quite attractive, plus he was the third son of the Huo family and the grandson of the Ming family. Many of the women here were also hoping to marry well, hence why they say the drunkards intent isnt in the wine. Acting incredibly provocatively on his way over, when he approached, Huo Zhexi went straight to hug Mingzhu and said, Mom, you look so beautiful today. Let your son give you a kiss. But Mingzhu slapped him away, Why are you just getting here now? Where have you been messing around? I got together with some friends. Men or women? Mom, are you going to interfere with who Im friends with now? Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, Your grandparents are here tonight, youd better behave! I know. Also, I told you to dress up, what are you wearing? Burberrys latest mens spring fashion, any problem? Huo Zhexi flicked his red hair, looking incredibly provocative. Mingzhu felt she couldnt bear to watch. But since her son was here, she felt slightly relieved, Later, Ill introduce you to some good catches. Pick carefully, if you think theyre okay, give me a signal. What do you mean? Huo Zhexi looked terrified, Mom, what are you doing? You cant pick a woman, so Ill do it for you. I dont want to! Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: 609, putting on a brave front? Chapter 609: 609, putting on a brave front? You dont have a choice! It is high time for men to marry and women to be wed. Youre turning 24 soon, its time for you to get married. Why arent you urging my brother? Hes already close to thirty! Huo Zhexi grumbled. Mingzhu laughed with brilliance, If you were as outstanding as your brother, I wouldnt be pushing you to get married. Zhexi: Suddenly, his phone rang, and he immediately picked it up, Ill step out for a bit. Leaving again? Cant you behave for once? Mingzhu was furious. Ill be right back! Zhexi cheerfully bounced off. Su Wanwan shook her head and started eating. She was extremely hungry, prioritising filling her stomach first. There were performances on stage, which probably meant the beauty contest would proceed without her involvement. Thinking this, she picked up a pigs foot and began to devour it. Suddenly, a murmur of conversation rose. Wanwan raised her head, so startled that the pigs foot in her chopsticks dropped. She turned her head to look. Indeed, Mingzhu had an equally unpleasant look on her face. Because Huo Zhexi had surprisingly brought Bai Ruwei with him. Compared to all the women in attendance today, Bai Ruweis ensemble was overly simple. A straightforward black dress cinching her waist, a pair of black high heels, a touch of light makeup, with no extravagant accessories. At first glance, she seemed indeed out of place. Especially with her blatantly anxious expression, her head down, utterly lacking confidence. When they took their seats at the table, Huo Zhexi grinned and announced, This is Xiaowei, my girlfriend. Mrs. Huo barely glanced at her before shifting her gaze to Mingzhu, Mingzhu, whats going on? Isnt this that waitress from last time? Bai Ruwei kept her head down without uttering a word. Mingzhu stared at Bai Ruwei. She could not stand Bai Ruweis unrefined demeanor and spoke rudely, Zhexi, whats the occasion today? Why did you bring her? Today is Valentines Day. Whats wrong with bringing my girlfriend? Zhexi lifted his chin, showcasing a look of defiance. Just as Mingzhu was about to lose her temper, her husband held her back. Huo Juncheng laughed, Now that youre here, lets eat something first. With the Ming Family dominating the guest list, it wouldnt be prudent to cause a scene and become a laughingstock for the relatives. Zhexi immediately smiled as well, and gently reassured Xiaowei, See, my parents are welcoming you as long as you show up. Bai Ruwei bit her lip and stayed silent. Big brother, Xing Siqing couldnt help but pipe in, Isnt she the waitress from the restaurant last time? So you are really together? None of your business. Zhexi glared at Siqing impatiently. Siqing stopped talking. But Mingzhus look turned even gloomier. Suddenly, a thunderous applause erupted. On stage, the host announced, Next up, lets welcome the princess of Ming family, Ming Hailan, to perform a piano solo for us. Sometimes, When it Rains. Lets give her a warm round of applause! After the resounding applause, Hailan took the stage in an elegant, mint-green dress. She gracefully took her seat at the grand piano and began to play. As the melodious sound of the piano filled the room, Siqing spoke up again, Its clear that Granny Ming is playing favorites! Huo Qinyu was taken aback, Siqing, what are you talking about? Am I wrong? Siqing pouted, Every year, they say that every female in the family can compete for the Charm Goddess. But each year, a woman from the Ming family wins. Mom, havent you noticed? Whoever performs on stage every year ends up being crowned the Charm Goddess! Youll see, tonights Charm Goddess will definitely be Hailan. They have her playing the piano now just to score extra points! Thats enough. No one talks as much as you do, Qinyu interrupted her impatiently. She didnt harbor much desire for that Charm Goddess award. She knew her daughters temperament well. Participating in the pageant each year was mainly a formality. Given that the Huo family and the Ming family were related by marriage and both dealt in the jewelry industry, even if they didnt win, it wasnt bad to maintain a closeness within the family. Moreover, as a daughter of the Huo family, Huo Qinyu was also a member of the Mingli Association, and did their share in supporting the foundation. But then Siqing chipped in again, Im just upset on behalf of my future sister-in-law. What do you mean? Wanwan asked. Siqing earnestly expressed, Because you look beautiful today, if there was a vote for Charm Goddess, I believe you would definitely be the winner! Su Wanwan: Hehe. Are you really that kind-hearted? While speaking, Ming Hailans piano performance on the stage had just ended. She rose, elegantly holding up her skirt, politely bowed to the audience, then picked up the microphone by her side, Today is not only the tenth anniversary of the Mingli Association, but also a Valentines Day in the west, so next, I want to invite Sister Siqing to perform a program with me. The spotlight swept over the Huo familys table. Id better not. I dont play any musical instrument. Xing Siqing hurriedly declined. Sister Siqing, dont be modest. There happens to be a violin here. If you dont perform with me, who else could? As if it was rehearsed in advance, Xing Siqing immediately said, Violin? Let my sister-in-law show you all a hand then? As soon as sister-in-law was mentioned, everyone turned their attention. It was Huo Jingshens first time to bring Su Wanwan to a family gathering tonight, which was already a hot topic. Hearing that she was going to perform, naturally many people were excited to see it happen. Su Wanwan looked at her with a slight frown, There are so many guests here today, and Im not very good at playing the violin. Its better not to embarrass myself. Xing Siqing almost burst into laughter. Not very good? How fake! You must not be able to play at all! She laughed and said, My sister-in-law, you are too modest. Ive heard that youre talented and have won first prize at the school party. Since today is Valentines Day and big brother is here, why not cheer everyone up with a performance. After saying that, she started to cheer, Does everyone want to listen to my sister-in-law play the violin? The people who loved to watch the excitement echoed, and some even started to clap. Su Wanwan sneered in her heart. This little slut. Shes all of sudden so polite to me, turns out she was laying trap and expecting me to jump in? Huo Qinyu who was beside her spoke up, Siqing, can you stop making a fuss? Mom, how am I causing a fuss? Today is Valentines Day, and its my sister-in-laws first meeting with Grandma Ming, after receiving such a warm invitation from Hailan, it would be a disappointment not to accept. Heh. She would disappoint everyone if she didnt accept? Su Wanwan smiled, simply stood up and said, Alright, since Miss Ming invited me so warmly, and it happens to be Valentines Day today, Ill perform a piece. But I hope you all understand, I may not play very well and I hope nobody will laugh. Xing Siqing was overjoyed inside, she exchanged a glance with Ming Hailan on the stage, and shouted loudly, A big round of applause to welcome her! All people immediately clapped their hands. Mrs. Huo frowned and asked her grandson in a low voice, Ashen, can Wanwan play the violin? After all, Su Wanwan had always given her the impression of being pretty, lively, and active since she married into the Huo Family! There didnt seem to be any connection with her and talents at all! Huo Jingshen elegantly held his wine glass, She probably can. Huh? Mrs. Huo was stunned, What do you mean by probably? Huo Jingshen still had a calm expression, If she couldnt, would she dare to go on stage? Mrs. Huo thought, well, my grandson made a fair point. But when Su Wanwan got on stage and a waiter handed her a delicate violin, she put the violin on her right shoulder. The crowd immediately burst into laughter. Mrs. Huo covered her presbyopic eyes, feeling unbearable to watch. She didnt care if her daughter-in-law had any talent or not, as long as the young couple had a good relationship, there was no need to fake it, right? It looks like they are determined to make a fool of themselves tonight! The people at the table felt somewhat embarrassed. Xing Siqing covered her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter. Only Huo Jingshen kept an inscrutable smile, looking somewhat pleased with himself. Im sorry, Im sorry. Su Wanwan took the violin down again, and smilingly said to the audience below the stage, I was too nervous. Ming Hailan held back her laughter, and whispered softly, Sister-in-law, dont be nervous, every one here tonight is a relative, they definitely wont laugh at you. However, she was scornful inside her heart. So laughable! She didnt even know the posture to hold a violin, she really was an unsophisticated person, moreover, she loved to fake it. Isnt she afraid of embarrassing herself? With so many elders present today, this time, she really made a big fool of herself. Chapter 610 - Chapter 610: 610, Boss Huo crazily shows off his love! Chapter 610: 610, Boss Huo crazily shows off his love! She looked down at the audience, everyones face echoed the same smug anticipation, while the Huo Family table seemed somewhat embarrassed. She walked forward immediately, lifting her hands, wearing a guise of goodwill, adjusting the way Su Wanwan held the violin, Sis-in-law, what piece would you like to perform? After some thought, Su Wanwan said, Little Luck, can you play that? Tian Fuzhens Little Luck? A pop song? Ming Hailan sneered inside but nodded directly, Sure. The one making a fool of herself wont be me, so Ill be generous and grant your wish. She walked back to the piano and took a seat, while Su Wanwan had begun tuning. Again, an ear-splitting, harsh noise resonated. It sounded like a crow crowing, cawing repeatedly Xing Siqing couldnt help it; a snort of laughter slipped out. Laughter broke out from all corners of the audience. The old lady from the Ming Family scowled, what on earth was happening? Ming Hailan on the stage held her laughter, her face twitching severely. Oh, my god! Such public humiliation and embarrassment! She obviously cant play the violin, yet she wants to keep her pride intact by enduring all the shame! This is weirdly amusing! Ming Haijuan sat next to the old lady from Ming family, her red lips hooked in a faint smile, tinged with contempt and exasperation. As expected. Who is a true high society young lady? And whos only pretending to be a phoenix after marrying into a rich family? One trial and youll know. Alright. On the stage, it seemed like Su Wanwan had finally tuned her violin. She turned her head and nodded at Ming Hailan. Ming Hailan also reciprocated with a nod, placed her hands on piano keys, and began earnestly playing the prelude of Little Luck. Either way, she didnt care whether Su Wanwan could play the violin or was terrible at it, because that would only highlight how excellent her piano skills were! Her mother had fought to get her this opportunity at the Mingli Associations annual celebration tonight. Everyone knew that a performing chance at this event essentially guarantees the ownership of the Charm Goddess title for the night. Her goal tonight was to win that title! Ming family daughters who are older than her have already won this title, so this year the title belonged to none other than her! Especially now that the spotlight is on the dumb fool! Victory was assured! With the launch of the prelude, the banquet hall dimmed, highlighting Ming Hailan standing on the stage. Accompanied by the beautiful and lively notes of the piano, bubbles and smoke began to emanate from the stage, the various lights flickered, adding a dreamy, romantic illusion to the event. Nobody could deny that Ming Hailans piano skills were impressive. Whether it was the previous song Sometimes, When, It, Rains, or like Little Luck, a light-hearted pop song, she made it look easy, mesmerizing the audience. Once the short prelude ended, Ming Hailan stopped playing, looked at Su Wanwan with a corner smile. Your moment of disgrace is here! Su Wanwan tilted her head slightly and began playing her violin. The next moment, the smile on Ming Hailans face completely froze. A beautiful violin melody echoed on the stage, soon spreading throughout the banquet hall. Little Luck is the theme song of the romantic film, Our Times, telling the story of an ordinary girls first love in high school. If you could describe the previous piano prelude as the start of a first love, then the violin performance personified the journey of that first love. The harmonious melody was captivating, brimming with emotional detailing, and successfully painted the picture of a young girls first love, aligning perfectly with todays Valentines Day theme. The place suddenly quietened down, nobody spoke, all engrossed in the beautiful violin music. Some even started to lightly sing along. It turns out that you are the luck I want to hold onto, it turns out that we were once so close to love. Those decisions to fight against the world for me, those rains you shared with me. Each and every scene was you, pure and untarnished sincerity. Lucky to have met you, but I have lost the right to weep for you. I hope that in the horizon unbeknownst to me, you have spread your wings, the one predestined to meet you, how lucky would she be Once the final note was played, thunderous applause filled up the entire place. Ming Hailan had to gather all her strength before she could lift her hands and clap with others. How could this happen? She looked at Xing Siqing who was off the stage. Wasnt it said that she is talentless, doesnt know any instruments, let alone play the violin? Where is she incapable of playing the violin? Shes clearly very skillful! And in a hideous sort of a way! Off the stage, Xing Siqing was also stunned. Su Wanwan, she had been pretending all along, hadnt she? She can play the violin, why would she pretend not to know even the correct posture for holding it? Damn! Shes such a scheming woman! So crafty! So inscrutable! Bitch! After the applause, the lights in the banquet hall returned to full brightness. Under the dazzling, multi-layered crystal chandelier, Su Wanwan put down her violin, gracefully lifted her skirt, and bowed in thanks to the audience below. Just as she was about to leave the stage, a sudden burst of applause sounded again. Looking up, a familiar tall figure had already come to her side. When she noticed the large bouquet of rainbow roses in the mans arms, and even bigger one on the cart beside him How many flowers could that possibly be? Su Wanwan, slightly stunned, could no longer resist, and a blush slowly rose to her cheeks. Thinking that there were no roses, she never expected this strategic move, delivering them at this very moment. Isnt this just showing off their love? Way too ostentatious, too extravagant! But She loved it! In front of everyones eyes, Huo Jingshen handed the large bouquet of rainbow roses he held to her. A total of 520 rainbow roses, do you like them, my dear? Huo Jingshen asked, his eyes filled with laughter, his voice low and sexy, the sight of him speaking softly while holding the roses, was unutterably charming. Su Wanwan nodded, her gaze completely captured by the large bouquet of roses. Truth be told. This was the first time she had received roses from a man on Valentines Day. And they were 520 rainbow roses! She had only ever seen rainbow roses on television or in novels before! 520 of them, they must be very expensive, right? Although a little heavy, and somewhat overwhelmingcough, cough. But at this moment, the banquet hall was so brightly lit, and so many rainbow roses were brilliantly colored under the light, dazzlingly beautiful, they were stunningly gorgeous. Seeing that she hadnt spoken, Huo Jingshen asked again, My dear, do you like them? Su Wanwan immediately lifted her head, her smile sweet and alluring, I love them. A whistle sounded in her ear, followed by applause and cheers, even someone set off confetti cannons, the atmosphere on site seemed to have exploded. In a daze, Huo Jingshen took out an exquisite gift box. Upon opening it, inside were a pair of couples diamond watches. The two of them, under everyones gaze, solemnly put the watches on each other, just like exchanging wedding rings. The matriarch of the Huo Family in the audience was already blinded by what was going on. If she hadnt seen this with her own eyes, she would hardly believe that it was true. Her oldest grandson had always been very composed since he was a child, rarely spoke, was not very sociable with relatives and friends, and rarely showed any obvious emotional fluctuations. But today, in front of so many people, he publicly gave flowers and gifts to his wife, even a loving kiss! An open display of love! So, this is the future wife of the oldest grandson of the Huo Family, indeed as wise as her reputation foretold, truly stunning, quite knowledgeable indeed! Shes beautiful and can play an instrument, no wonder she could be the future wife of the oldest Huo grandson! Such talent and beauty, a match made in heaven. These 520 rainbow roses are the globally limited edition roses from roseonly! Those watches are from the European brand crush, too! Rich couples showing their luxury, money is really burning! Shows how much they love each other! Exactly, its Valentines Day, its natural to show off their love! All around, there were various gossip and envious discussions. Huo Zhexi was sour, grumbling, Damn, my older brother is definitely here to flaunt their love, right? Bai Ruwei watched the stage, her heart filled with envy and excitement. Xing Siqing felt like throwing up. Her older brother was definitely doing this on purpose! Or maybe these two had arranged this in advance! Just after playing the violin, he went up to give flowers and gifts, especially the rainbow roses, and there were 520 at that! Not presenting them earlier, not presenting them later, but at that particular moment, clearly, he just wanted to steal the spotlight! She initially wanted to see Su Wanwan make a fool of herself, she didnt expect that it would even overshadow Ming Hailan. Now everyones attention was on Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, who still remembers that a moment ago, Ming Hailan had just played Sometimes, When, It, Rains? Chapter 611 - Chapter 611: 611, Wanwan has won the title of Charm Goddess! Chapter 611: 611, Wanwan has won the title of Charm Goddess! In the end, Xing Siqing couldnt bear to be idle and stood up. Huo Qinyu attempted to stop her, but it was already too late. Xing Siqing marched directly to the stage, grabbed a nearby microphone, and smiled as she loudly proclaimed, Little sister-in-law, my elder brother presented you with such a large bouquet of rainbow roses and gifted you such an expensive couples diamond watch. Dont you have anything to give to big brother in return? As if afraid Su Wanwan might refuse, she immediately proposed, How about this? Little sister-in-law, you play the violin so well. Youve already performed one popular song, why not play an international classic for big brother now? Su Wanwan looked at her excited face, withholding a laughter before responding, Sister Siqing, my husband and I have already taken up so much of everyones time on stage, we really feel guilty. Today is not my performance stage, and Granny Ming will have to give a speech later. To avoid stealing the limelight, I will not perform. Retro makeup made her appear vivid and grand. Coupled with the court-style dress Su Wanwan wore, she stood beside Huo Jingshen, elegant and slender. Her words were tasteful and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing this, the elderly woman at the main table, Granny Ming, couldnt help but nod in satisfaction. However, Xing Siqing couldnt fully control her feelings. Gritting her teeth, she quickly replied, A song doesnt take very long. Besides, today is Valentines Day, and there are so many people here. Whats forbidden about performing one more song? Are you so scared could it be you can only play that one popular song? Her words reeked of provocation, and the alert guests immediately started whispering amongst themselves. If so Su Wanwan curled her red lips into a smile, watching Xing Siqing, Why dont you, Siqing, suggest a few international classics? You can tell me which ones you would like, and Ill choose from them. Afer saying this, she tightened her grip on Huo Jingshens arm, They should better match the theme of today, a bit more upbeat, not the typical ones. Ideally, some obscure ones. Xing Siqing: She held the microphone, opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words. She herself had no musical talent. When they were young, Huo Qinyu wanted her to learn the violin, but she quit after a brief attempt. She didnt have overseas study experience, and her English was just average. On normal days, she only listened to some American pop stars. How could she know any world-famous violin pieces? Especially the obscure ones? If she really did name one, shed probably get it wrong and become a laughingstock. This was terrible. Shed shot herself in the foot Frantically looking towards Ming Hailan for help, Su Wanwan suddenly interrupted, Siqing, I feel like youre purposely targeting me. What the hell are you talking about? Xing Siqings mouth twitched, her face invisible with discomfort. Perhaps I overthought it. Su Wanwan quickly responded. Xing Siqing was left speechless again. What the hell was this darned girl up to? The next second. Miss Ming was initially going to perform with you, but I stole the opportunity. Its understandable if youre a little upset. Well then, my husband enjoys the works of Niccolo Paganini. Why dont you perform one of his pieces for us now? Xing Siqing was truly panicked now. Whats this about Niccolo Paganini? How could she possibly play it? Just as she was completely flustered, Huo Qinyu could no longer bear to watch and sprang onto the stage, pulling her daughter down. Su Wanwan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was young, Su Yuntang has always disliked her, and the only reason she learned the violin was because of Su Xueqins insistence. However, since she started high school and entered her rebellious phase, these skills had been long abandoned. She was very rusty; if she had to perform an international classic, she really couldnt. So, she purposely made things difficult, dragged it out, and fortunately, Huo Qinyu finally took the stage. Mom, what are you doing, let go of me! Stop making such a fuss! Dont you think youre embarrassing yourself? Huo Qinyu firmly pulled her daughter back to her seat. Xing Siqing was still unsatisfied, Mom, whats wrong with me asking my sister-in-law to perform? I was just trying to bring glory to the Huo family Enough! Huo Qinyu abruptly cut her off. Looking at Madame Huos displeased face, Huo Qinyu quickly apologized, Mom, Im sorry. Siqing is too spoiled by me, she didnt mean it, she just Qinyu, I thought after a year, Siqing has grown by a year, and she should have learned to behave better. But I didnt expect that the way she behaved on the second day of the new year was all an act? The leopard cannot change its spots indeed! Mom, I was wrong. Huo Qinyu felt as if she had been slapped in the face, the shame burned her cheeks. This disobedient daughter, she behaved so well on the second day of the new year, yet today, she just couldnt keep her temper in check. Alright, there are relatives and elders from both families present today, lets not make a fool of ourselves. Madame Huos gaze turned cold, staring directly at Xing Siqing, Siqing, if you make a scene again, dont show up at gatherings like these and embarrass us! Madame Huo rarely got angry, so Xing Siqing had no choice but to swallow her words. By the time Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen returned to their seats hand in hand, holding a large bouquet of rainbow roses Madame Huos face had already regained her benevolent smile, Wanwan, I didnt know you could play the violin, you play quite well! Su Wanwan smiled sheepishly, I learned for a few years when I was a child, but I havent played in a long time. Ive almost forgotten most of it. Im glad I didnt embarrass you, grandma. Xing Siqing was furious. This damn woman, the way she spoke was clearly to flatter and curry favor! As expected, Madame Huo immediately beamed with delight. Not embarrassing at all, you have brought honor to our Huo family! Ashen, isnt your wife remarkable, are you proud as the husband? Huo Jingshen gave a faint smile, I am indeed honored. Su Wanwan looked at him and also smiled brightly. The sight was captured by everyone present C a handsome man and a beautiful woman, the perfect pair. However, in another corner, Ming Haijuan curled her red lips, laughing coldly. Unexpectedly, this Su Wanwan was quite something. She hid her talents and kept her composure. A strategy of appearing less threatening before making a move. She was really good at keeping her cool. ** After the performances, several key figures of the Mingli Association took turns to give speeches. Until the climax of the anniversary, the announcement of the Charm Goddess selection came. The host excitedly announced into the microphone, Ladies and gentlemen, next up is our annual beauty pageant of the Mingli Association! Who will be the one to win Madame Mings favor and take home the Charm Goddess crown, meticulously crafted and provided by the Ming Group? Lets welcome Madame Ming, the incumbent president of the Mingli Association, to announce the Charm Goddess of this year. Lets give her a warm welcome with a round of applause! The sound of applause, like a burst of fireworks, filled the entire banquet hall all at once. When Madame Ming, in a red cheongsam, gracefully walked onto the stage, the applause slowly died down. Taking the microphone, Madame Ming began her speech with a smile, I am very happy to be able to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Mingli Association with so many friends and beautiful men and women on Valentines Day. Thank you all for dressing up to attend, adding charm to this banquet, and for your patronage over the past 10 years. Our Mingli Association has now become a leader in the charity industry in Nancheng, doing our part to give back to society. After a long official gabble, Madame Ming changed subject, The selection of the Charm Goddess this evening, our board members have selected three candidates. They are all outstanding socialites, not only possessing beautiful looks, excellent knowledge, and elegant diction Su Wanwan was almost falling asleep. The chairman in her seventies was still eloquent and spoke clearly. Standing on the stage in a cheongsam, with silver hair like snow, her gentle and elegant demeanor, and the beauty that has remained through the years, was simply stunning. The final winner of the Charm Goddess crown is Madame Ming scanned the crowd and smilingly announced a name, Su Wanwan. Even before Madame Mings words had fallen, Madame Huo exclaimed in surprise, Wanwan, Wanwan, youve won! Ah? Su Wanwan opened her mouth in surprise. Wanwan, youve won! Youve really won! The Charm Goddess title is yours! Hurry up and get ready to receive your award on stage! Madame Huo was so thrilled that she could barely contain herself. Mingzhu also smiled and said, Congrats Wanwan! You deserve it! Su Wanwan: For crying out loud! She was a bit panicked, even at a loss what to do, Are you serious? Really me? Really? Of course, its true. I told you so. Just now, I took you to meet several main judges. And its your first appearance in front of the family, they have to give our Huo family some respect. Madame Huo said with a proud look, Moreover, thanks to Siqing letting you perform the violin on stage, and Ashen showcasing you, you are stunning. If they didnt give you this award, how would they explain it, right? Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: 612, Wanwan joins Mingli Association! A strong face slap! Chapter 612: 612, Wanwan joins Mingli Association! A strong face slap! Xing Siqing: Shes spitting blood! So in the end, shes actually helped this scoundrel? Su Wanwan also: Now she finally understood why Huo Jingshen chose that particular moment to flaunt their relationship! He did that on purpose, didnt he? Hes nothing less than an old fox! Old fox Huo Jingshen was holding her hand, giving it a little squeeze, Go ahead, dont be nervous. Su Wanwan wrinkled her little eyebrows, I wasnt nervous initially, now youre making me nervous. Huo Jingshen couldnt help but chuckle, Werent you brave just a moment ago? Why the sudden change of heart? Su Wanwan: It wasnt that she had a sudden change of heart, it was just that this occasion was really extraordinary, with several heads of families present. If she embarrassed herself, she wouldnt mind, but it would be quite inappropriate if she embarrassed the Huo Family. Moreover, she was in a heated argument just now, all fired up, so how could she bother about being nervous or not? Dont be nervous, just keep smiling like you did that day at school during the performance. After Huo Jingshen said this, Su Wanwan finally felt a bit more comforted. Just as she was about to stand up Wait a moment. Huo Jingshen stood up, raising his hands to fix her stray hair around her ears and temples. His eyes were warm and gentle, his movements elegant and tender, his fingers brushing against her cheek and ear subtly Su Wanwans delicate lashes trembled slightly, she felt completely soft under his gaze. The affectionate couple is showing off again! The elderly Mrs. Huo watched them with a gratified grin. Huo Zhexi, however, was impatient, shouting, Enough, enough, stop rubbing it in already, hurry up and get on stage! Show-off! Go ahead and show off here for the next hundred years if you dare! Huo Jingshen glanced at him coldly. Huo Zhexis heart flinched, and he quickly lowered his head. For crying out loud! Cant he even tell the truth? Are they not done with their lovey-dovey act for the night? Alright, dont be nervous, go ahead now. Huo Jingshen gave her hand another little squeeze as if to boost her courage. Su Wanwan nodded. She adjusted the somewhat complicated and ornate hem of her lace dress, took a step, and then Huo Jingshen suddenly added, Keep smiling. Keep smiling? He shouldnt have said that. The moment he did, Su Wanwan felt like all her smiles seemed a bit off. Just as she was getting a bit flustered, Huo Jingshen walked over to her again. The man raised his arms and placed them on her petite shoulders. His brows and eyes relaxed, he spoke gently and warmly, Baby, youre exceptionally beautiful tonight, the most beautiful. Under the luxurious crystal chandelier and the attentive gaze of everyone, the tall and handsome man slightly lowered his head, his handsome face sculpted to perfection, seemed to carry a hint of soft glow. With a gentle breeze brushing his jade-like face, his eyes twinkling with a smile, he cheered for his beautiful little wife. In that instant, Su Wanwan felt there was something almost sacred about the man in front of her. His words seemed to possess a mysterious power that completely sent her heart at ease. ** Like this, Su Wanwan came onto the stage. With a light smile on her lips, she elegantly lifted the hem of her dress. Her demeanor was dignified and graceful. The elderly Mrs. Huo watched with satisfaction in her eyes. This granddaughter-in-law of hers was very young and usually quite lively. She didnt expect her to be calm and composed on such an important occasion, surrounded by the flamboyantly dressed daughters of many notable families. Su Wanwan was indeed a pleasant surprise. As she reached the stage, Old Lady Ming took a pure gold crown from a waiter at the side. With a soft smile, she said, Wanwan, congratulations on winning todays Charm Goddess award. Remembering Huo Jingshens words, Su Wanwan maintained a sweet smile on her face, Thank you, Grandma Ming. Youre welcome. Here, let me put it on for you. Su Wanwan slightly bent down, allowing the elder to place the delicate mini crown representing the Charm Goddess in her hair. Her makeup and styling today leaned towards a European retro court style. Her hair was half-up and half-down in a dreamy princess hairstyle. Consequently, when the mini crown was placed in her hair, it looked exceedingly suitable, as though it were tailor-made for her. After the crown was affixed, Su Wanwan stood up. Cheers and applause filled the venue for a moment, while the media reporters who were invited to the event clamored at the front of the stage with their cameras. All that could be seen was her charming and vibrant eyes, exuding feminine allure. The peach blossom adorning the corner of her eye enriched her every frown and smile, casting a radiant aura about her, like she was imbued with a touch of spirit. It was indeed a sight of myriad enchantments. There were many below the stage inquiring about Su Wanwans background. Once they learned that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo Family, the applause immediately intensified. Su Wanwan thought she could step off the stage at this point, but unexpectedly, the elderly Madam Ming picked up the microphone and said, Wanwan is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. Shes only twenty this year, but I didnt expect this young lady to be both stunning and intelligent, with outstanding talent. You all saw her violin performance just now, which was remarkable. In addition to this, Ive heard that she consistently ranks in the top three in her school grades, and is now interning at a television station. With such dedication and hard work, her future is boundless! Therefore, I, as the president of the Mingli Association, sincerely invite Mrs. Huo to join us. I wonder if Mrs. Huo is willing? Join the Mingli Association? What does this mean? Su Wanwan quickly looked towards Huo Jingshen below the stage. Seeing him nod slightly, she immediately responded graciously with a smile, Thank you, Granny Ming. Im very willing to join the Mingli Association. Madam Ming smiled elegantly, I should be the one thanking you. With the entry of Mrs. Huo, it seems like our Mingli Association will expand once again. The crowd could not help but cheer, except for Xing Siqing was sitting there with a twisted face. Ming Hailan was also extremely irate. It was already bad enough that she did not win the Charm Goddess title, and now Su Wanwan had even been invited to join the Mingli Association? Elder sister, didnt we agree that I would win the Charm Goddess title this year? Why was it given to that Su Wanwan? And now shes been invited to join the Mingli Association. I cant accept this! Enough. Ming Haijuan was also feeling uncomfortable. The charity foundation of the Ming Family, established by Madam Ming, was mainly for the wealthy and famous women of high society. Without a certain economic strength, social status, and even years of charitable contributions, it was impossible to join. Moreover, to join, one needed to be recommended by a notable figure and pass through multiple scrutinizing rounds. If you performed carelessly after joining, you could be expelled. In short, joining the prestigious Mingli Association, which was stringent and symbolized status and position, was not easy. As the eldest granddaughter of the Ming Family, she had been unable to join because she was busy studying abroad and had not gotten the time to participate in charity work. However, Su Wanwan was able to join with just a mere sentence? Bai Ruwei glanced at the stage and then at her phone. The seat beside her had been empty for quite a while. Huo Zhexi had been called away by Mingzhu for nearly 10 minutes now. She didnt know anyone around her. Finally, she could not stand it and got up, Excuse me, I am going to the restroom. Then, when Su Wanwan returned with the mini crown, she found that the round table, which was originally packed with people, was rather empty. Xing Siqing was not there, neither were Mingzhu and Huo Zhexi, and even Bai Ruwei was missing. ** Bai Ruwei did not go to the restroom, but instead went to the bar area at the back. After looking around, she could not see Huo Zhexis figure. Standing there, she took out her phone to call him. It was getting late, she wanted to go home, and she felt very uncomfortable being in this place which she didnt fit into at all. Just as she was making her call, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind. The collision was so strong that her phone flew out of her hand and fell to the ground with a clattering sound. She quickly bent down to pick up her phone, but her arm was grabbed by someone. A somewhat sharp and delicate female voice rang out, What are you doing? You bumped into me and didnt even apologize? My clothes and shoes are dirty because of you, can you afford to compensate? Im sorry. Bai Ruwei looked awkward, I didnt mean it, I was making a call here, you ran into me from behind. Ming Hailans face changed instantly, I bumped into you? Youre just a waitress not doing your work but lurking around here, what on earth are you trying to do? Youre not trying to steal something, are you? Bai Ruweis face immediately flushed red, Im not a waitress here, and I didnt steal anything. Youre not a waitress? Ming Hailan laughed arrogantly, But arent you wearing a waitress outfit? Come over and clean my clothes and shoes for me! Make sure to clean them thoroughly! Miss Ming, Im really not a waitress here! Youve got the wrong person. Ming Hailan looked at her impatiently, Then who are you? How did you get in? Why dont I recognize you? II am Zhexis girlfriend? Chapter 613 - Chapter 613: 613, where did the wild chicken come from? Chapter 613: 613, where did the wild chicken come from? Youre Brother Zhexis girlfriend? Ming Hailan laughed exaggeratedly, Where does this wild hen come from, thinking she can become a phoenix just by putting on a formal dress? This dress, bought from a street stall for a few dozen yuan, right? Would Brother Zhexi allow you to wear such an ugly dress? Its rough and the threads are already loose, and you dont even have a decent piece of jewelry! At this point, Xing Siqing came over pretending to act, Hailan, you misunderstood, she really is Brother Zhexis girlfriend, she was sitting with us earlier. What? Ming Hailan snorted disdainfully, Sister Siqing, youre not fooling me, are you? Can someone like her catch Brother Zhexis eye? Xing Siqing awkwardly replied, We met her when we went out for dinner last time, she works as a waitress at a restaurant, and she really is Brother Zhexis girlfriend. Haha, thats hilarious. So shes a waitress after all, and she didnt admit it earlier? I see, so shes just a plaything for Brother Zhexi, right? Once the novelty wears off, hell definitely dump her. I knew it, how could Brother Zhexi be attracted to her! Ming Hailan sneered and launched into a tirade of insults at Bai Ruwei: Let me tell you, Brother Zhexi has had many girlfriends before, and each one of them was better looking and of higher status than you. But in the end, do you see anyone becoming a part of the Huo family? Is the Huo family a place for women like you? You dont even have a mirror to look at yourself. Where did this trash come from? Youre worthy of being Brother Zhexis girlfriend? Brother Zhexi wouldnt want you, let alone my aunt allowing you to become her daughter-in-law, and Huos grandmother would never allow you to become her granddaughter-in-law! Youre delusional, a toad wishing to eat swan meat! Youre not attractive but you have grand ambitions! A barrage of insults came flooding in like a ferocious beast. Ming Hailan vented all her pent-up frustrations on Bai Ruwei. Do these lowlifes really think its that easy to enter a wealthy family? I cant touch Su Wanwan because shes already married to Huo Jingshen, but I cant reach you? Bai Ruwei clenched her fists, not understanding what he had done to offend Miss Ming. Shes not good at confrontations and all she could do now was bite her lip and walk away. However, right after she took a step, her arm was grabbed again and a bottle of red wine was splashed all over her from head to toe. Ahhhhhhhh! The womans scream echoed around the entire banquet hall. ** In a private rest room outside, Mingzhu was scolding her son, Zhexi, did you lie to me when you said you had broken up with her? Mom, its Valentines Day, cant you stop arguing with me? Youre arguing with me? Mingzhu laughed, So, youre not listening to me, you want to be with her, dont you? Yes! I want to be with Xiaowei! I dont care if you agree or not! Huo Zhexi was now desperate. He couldnt understand why Mingzhu was so strict with Xiaowei when she never really cared about his other girlfriends before. He felt that Mingzhu was prejudiced against Xiaowei and looked down on her background! Fine. Mingzhu nodded, If you want to be with her, from today onwards, dont use my money! Mom, what do you mean? Huo Zhexis face changed instantly. Mingzhu sneered, I just want to see, if you really dont have any money, if youre no longer the son of the Huo family, whether she still wants to be with you. Mom, can you stop doing this? Huo Zhexi shouted in frustration, From childhood to now, youve always been controlling me. Cant you leave me some freedom? Is it really that hard for me to be in a relationship? Why are you making it so tense Knock knock knock, the door was suddenly knocked on, and Mingzhus niece came in. Whats the matter? Second aunt. The niece carefully said, Theres a Miss Bai, who claims to be Brother Zhexis girlfriend, and shes having a confrontation with the third sister. Mingzhus face changed, and Huo Zhexi rushed out. ** Meanwhile. The banquet hall was in total chaos, filled with shouting and screaming. When Su Wanwan arrived, she was almost shocked. Ming Hailans dress was stained with wine and she was making a fuss. But Bai Ruwei was in an even worse situation. She was half-lying on the ground, covered in red wine from head to toe. Her hair, face, and neck were all wet. Her hair clung to her face, and wine kept dripping down. The wet black material of the dress clung to her body, revealing her curves she was utterly humiliated. You are really bullying too much! Bai Ruwei shouted with tears streaming down her face. After Ming Hailan splashed her with wine and pushed her out, she fell to the ground and twisted her foot in the process. The pain was so intense, she couldnt even stand up. What exactly happened? The voice of Madame Ming immediately rang out. She was followed by a crowd of Ming family relatives, including the second senior lady of the Ming family and Madame Huo. Upon seeing Bai Ruwei, she quickly went forth, Who did this? Ming Hailan hurriedly began to complain hypocritically, Granny Ming, Granny Huo, I was drinking with Siqing just now, and she purposely bumped into me, and even stained my clothes and shoes. I just mistook her as a waitress here and asked her to help me clean up. Who knew that she would lose her temper and start claiming that she is Zhexis girlfriend, insisting that I apologize and admit my mistake, otherwise, it would be disrespecting the Huo family. Shes so domineering and arrogant! At this moment, she had regained her little fairy-like demeanor from when she was playing the piano. Madame Ming frowned. She watched Huo Zhexi grow up. This little rascal, being unlearned and muddled, has had many women wanting to be with him over the years, but they were all dissolved by Mingzhu in the end. And looking at this Bai Ruwei, she had a simple and elegant appearance and attire. Quite different from the other women in the past. Are you really Zhexis girlfriend? Bai Ruwei raised her head to look at Madame Ming. Compared to the cordial and amiable image on the stage just now, her expression now was somewhat stern, with an imposing aura, those eyes sharp as two blades of ice. Slightly panicked, Bai Ruwei answered softly, Yes. If you are, you are. If youre not, youre not. Why are you so timid when answering a question? Dont you have any confidence? Madame Ming spoke displeasedly. She didnt have any sons, but her status in the Ming family had never waned over the years. She was indeed a formidable figure. She was kind and elegant when not provoked. But at this moment, the younger generation were causing unnecessary trouble, especially at an occasion such as the anniversary of the Mingli Association, she was not in a good mood and her attitude was very firm. When had Bai Ruwei ever interacted with seniors of this calibre? Right then, she was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldnt utter a word. Only now did she realize that compared to Madame Ming, Mingzhu was actually quite kind to her. Xiaowei! Huo Zhexi rushed in hastily, Xiaowei, are you alright? Seeing his girlfriend drenched in wine, with her hair and face still dripping, he was so angry he felt like he would explode, Damn it, what happened? Who the hell did this! Was it you! He glared at Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan looked at him speechlessly, Who did it, dont you have eyes? Cant you see? Huo Zhexi: Looking around fiercely, in the end, his gaze landed on Ming Hailan who was also stained with wine, Did you bully my girlfriend? Ming Hailan quickly denied it. No, Brother Zhexi. I didnt bully her. I just mistook her for someone else. She was the one who started shouting at me! If you dont believe me, ask Sister Siqing. Xing Siqings face turned pale and she quickly deflected the blame, Im not sure. I just came over not long ago. You two scumbags Zhexi! Mingzhus voice quickly intervened. She marched over in her high heels, her face calm and composed. Glancing at Bai Ruweis distraught appearance, she calmly commanded, Zhexi, take Miss Bai to change her clothes first. Mother Go! Huo Zhexi pouted and could only lead Bai Ruwei away first. At this point, Madame Ming appeared somewhat surprised, Mingzhu, is this girl really Zhexis girlfriend? Mingzhu let out a light sigh, Mother, you are overthinking it. Zhexi is simply infatuated with this woman for now, once the novelty wears off, everything will be fine. Madame Ming put a hand to her chest and snorted coldly, Zhexi is too naive and you as a mother dont know how to discipline him? Its okay for young people to have a relationship, but before confirming the status, shouldnt you stop him from casually bringing her to a family banquet? Look at the mess now! Isnt it like making a fool out of our two families, the Mings and the Huos, in front of outsiders? Mingzhu frowned slightly and could only lower her head to apologize. Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: 614, have you unwrapped your Valentines Day gift? Chapter 614: 614, have you unwrapped your Valentines Day gift? After the matriarch of the Ming Family scolded her daughter, she gave Ming Hailan a good talking to. The second elder lady of the Ming Family could only listen on the side, without any counterarguments. Her granddaughter had been spoiled since she was little by her parents. How could she not recognize Bai Ruwei who had been sitting at Huos table for half the day? She did it on purpose. As for Xing Siqing. Qinyu, take Siqing back with you, At these words from the old lady, Huo Qinyu was startled. Mother, you mean Was the old lady giving her a public order to leave? Xing Siqing also froze, quickly saying, Grandma, it had nothing to do with me. I really did tell Hailan that she was Zhexis girlfriend. It was her who insisted on taking action and I couldnt stop her. You still dare to speak! The old lady shouted sternly. What kind of occasion is this? You were yelling for Wanwan and trying to stir up trouble, as if you wished the world was in chaos! What were you trying to achieve? Were you trying to embarrass the entire Huo Family? Grandma, I didnt, I really didnt At twenty-three years old, you still dont understand the bigger picture, what a waste of time living! Youre not even as sensible as your sister-in-law! Finishing, the old lady waved her hand impatiently, Hurry up, take her away. I dont want to see her! Even though Huo Qinyu was upset, the old lady had already spoken her words and people around were still watching. To avoid making a bigger scene, she could only pull Xing Siqing away and leave hastily. ** Once Bai Ruwei was outside, she shook off her hand. Im going home now. You should change your clothes first, Huo Zhexi immediately said. Youll catch a cold like this. Where should I change? Whose clothes should I wear? I didnt bring any other clothes here, I can only go home. A series of questions made Huo Zhexi feel a bit awkward, ThenIll drive you home. Bai Ruwei shook her head, No need, you should go back to your family. Thats not acceptable. Your clothes are wet and its cold outside. Youd have to take a taxi home if you go by yourself Zhexi, I really shouldnt have come today, Bai Ruwei suddenly interrupted him. Yes. She shouldnt have come today. The last time, she was mistaken for a waitress. This time, she dressed up specially and still ended up being mistaken for a waitress. Perhaps she just isnt suitable for such occasions. Even if she desperately wants to fit in with them, she always ends up in an embarrassing situation in the end! Bai Ruwei bit her lip. As the elevator chimed, ignoring the pain in her foot, she rushed in and closed the door. ** Because of the sudden incident, the atmosphere of the anniversary celebration changed. Luckily, it was getting late and it was Valentines Day, so Huo Jingshen got up to leave. After some brief pleasantries, he took Su Wanwan and left. Once they reached the entrance of the hall and passed the corridor, they saw Bai Ruwei running through the lobby below. The small, delicate figure was running with a limp, dressed in the soaked black evening gown. There was no sign of Huo Zhexi. Su Wanwan inexplicably worried, wanting to keep watching. But as her hand tightened, Huo Jingshen promptly pulled her into the elevator. With a ding, the door closed. Whats the rush? Su Wanwan frowned. Should I call Zhexi? It looks like Bai Ruwei was injured. Holding the huge bouquet of rainbow roses, Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, Or should I call an ambulance for her? Su Wanwan said, Sure. Huo Jingshen: The elevator quickly arrived on the first floor. The two of them walked out of the building and saw Bai Ruwei getting into a taxi that was parked at the roadside. Feel better now? Huo Jingshen gave her a cold glance. Su Wanwan let out a sigh of relief. The night was bustling but due to the late hour, there werent many pedestrians. Su Wanwan immediately took out her phone and moved closer, Husband, help me take a photo, I want to post it on my Moments. Huo Jingshen: He took the phone, drew her in for a selfie, and immediately sent it to their WeChat group. Seeing the photo, the single ones who had no date began to flood the screen with comments. Gu Huaian: [Come on, get my royal dog food!] Ming Jing: [Witness report! Our sister-in-law won Charm Goddess today! She even played the violin! Joined the Mingli Association! Received 520 rainbow roses, a diamond watch, and publicly performed a kiss!] Lu Chenyu: [Hehe.] Nangong Ci: [Damn, sister-in-law can play the violin? Why do I find that so hard to believe?] Ming Jing: [Really! I even recorded it, let me send it for you guys to watch.] Gu Huaian: [Unexpected. Dont judge a book by its cover.] Lu Chenyu: [Continue to hehe.] Nangong Ci: [Big bro, tell us what gift did your sister-in-law give you?] Gu Huaian: [Does my sister-in-law need to give a gift? Giving herself to her is the best gift.] Ming Jing: [Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty] Lu Chenyu continued: [Hehe.] Once he was inside his car, Huo Jingshen placed the roses on the back seat. He revved the engine and asked softly, Baby, hubby gave you roses, a diamond watch, and made you the center of attention With each statement, Su Wanwans mouth twitched. Finally, Huo Jingshen asked her, So, doesnt my baby have anything to say? Su Wanwan blinked repeatedly, Do I need to give a gift, too? Before Huo Jingshen could respond, she quickly said, You earn so much money, does a poor student like me need to give a gift too? Im not giving anything, I dont have any money! The renowned wealthiest man in Nancheng, the CEO of a multi-billion estate, would seriously expect her, a student, to offer him a Valentines Day gift? Is this some kind of joke? Thats really shameless! Huo Jingshen said, Well, since you dont have money, you dont have to buy a gift. Just as Su Wanwan was about to speak. You can just give yourself to me when we get home. Su Wanwan: A few seconds later, she said, Suddenly, I feel that if the Huo Yuan Group goes bankrupt someday, you wont have to worry about unemployment. You could become a professional driver. What a seasoned driver he was! If you lose your job, please help others drive! You are surely skillful, steady-handed! Everything at your fingertips! And there will definitely be no red-light violations in your record! Huo Jingshen couldnt help but grin, No need, Im more than content driving your little Mercedes Benz. Su Wanwan: Little Mercedes Benz? Freaking hell! Of course, its impossible to have a normal conversation with this seasoned driver. Within three sentences, he always lands a tricky blow! And its always a vulgar one! After coughing twice, she decided not to pay him any mind, picked up her phone, and shared the selfie shed just taken into her best friends group chat to show off. Mo Weiyi: [Rainbow roses from roseonly and matching couples diamond watches from Crush! Baby Wanwan, you really hit the jackpot!] Su Wanwan: [Are they worth a lot?] Mo Weiyi: [Considering it conservatively, that watch of yours is worth at least five million!] Holy crap! Five million! Su Wanwan looked at the diamond watch on her wrist. The circle of small pink diamonds were emitting a delicate and brilliant glow. It was beautiful without being too flashy, showcasing taste when worn. Suddenly, a strange thought crossed her mind. Did this man used to do the same when he was in a relationship? Did he carefully prepare priceless gifts and drive around casually, including with other women Once she started, Su Wanwans mind began to fill with these kinds of thoughts. Her lips pursed, feeling a little suffocated. She suddenly felt at a disadvantage. He was her first man in every way imaginable, but he was already in his thirties. A mature man like that must have had a colourful past. Unable to suppress her thoughts any longer, Su Wanwan couldnt help but yelp, Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahUmm! Her mouth was then covered. The car was pulled over. Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow as he looked at the girl, Why are you screaming in the middle of the night? Su Wanwan took his hand off her mouth, I am asking you, how did you spend your past Valentines days? What do you mean? Come clean, how many women were there besides Chu Jingyi, Fu Qi?! Have you also been this extravagant with them on Valentines Day? Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes and curled a thin smile, Baby, are you jealous? His smile was handsome. But it made Su Wanwan even angrier. She remembered Xing Siqing telling her that Chu Jingyi had known Huo Jingshen since birth. They were childhood friends and engaged right after their birth. They grew up together in the same town. As teenagers, they must have had some interactions, right? Even if there was nothing between them, Huo Jingshen had been in the UK for a dozen years. Studying, working, and living, there must have been some women around him. Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: 615, when has your husband ever lied to you? Chapter 615: 615, when has your husband ever lied to you? Which is to say, before Huo Jingshen turned 30, before he married her, there might have been other women in his life. Tell me! How many women have you been with! Su Wanwan began interrogating. None. Impossible! Why would I lie to you? Huo Jingshens expression was very candid. As candid as always. Su Wanwan pouted, So, you never had a relationship when you were younger? When I was younger? Huo Jingshen narrowed his dangerous eyes. How old does she think he is now? Su Wanwan slightly tightened her face, Tell me! If you dare to lie to me, I curse your future son will have no butt. Huo Jingshen: After a while, he sighed with exasperation, Who curses their own son like that? Our future son will have no butt? Huh? Can you believe what youve just said? Now it was Su Wanwans turn: She pursed her lips, So have you ever been in a relationship before? No. Really? Youre not lying to me? Su Wanwan found it incredibly hard to believe. Her husbands looks were unarguably the best and he came from a respectable family, and was famously one of the leading figures in the UK. In internet-speak hes: A diamond-level perfect male god! Given that foreign girls tend to be open and enthusiastic, and the west is known for its progressive views on such matters, and given his excellent driving skills Suddenly, a big hand gently touched her head, patting it a few times as if checking her temperature, Did your brain get burned? Its not hot to touch, why are you asking such an idiotic question? Youre sure youre not lying to me! Su Wanwan abruptly pulled away his hand. Every time before he had easily brushed off her questions. Today, she was determined to get clear answers. After a moment, Huo Jingshen finally said, Im not lying to you, from beginning to end, Ive never been in a relationship before, my first love and marriage are with you, its only you. Now, are you satisfied with that answer? Youve never kissed another woman? No? You havent done any things with another woman? No. I dont believe it! Su Wanwan immediately shouted. Huo Jingshen rubbed his forehead, Every single thing Ive ever done with you, Ive never done with any other woman. What about things you havent done with me? Su Wanwan instinctively countered. Huo Jingshens lips curved into a slightly wicked smile, Things I havent done with you? Are you saying Holy crap! Su Wanwan quickly covered his mouth. This man, how could he be so shameless? He dares to say such things outright. He really has some thick skin. Anyway, Ive never done those things with any other woman. Huo Jingshen looked at her blushing face, barely containing his amusement. She was the one who wanted answers, but now she is blushing as soon as he answered. Good. Huo Jingshen spoke reassuringly, Dont keep overthinking. When have I ever lied to you, huh? This was indeed a fact. So, that means Su Wanwan looked at him, So, youre saying you didnt have any experience before we got married? Huo Jingshen: No way! You were 30 and didnt have any experience? Huo Jingshen again: No wonder at that timehahahathe reason was because you didnt know how! Ahahaha. Huo Jingshen: This was the second time his wife joked about his poor first experience Thats not right. Su Wanwan started laughing, Did you secretly study later on? Did you practice on your own? Huo Jingshens handsome face turned dark. He watched the girl, her eyes sparkling with joy, her beautifully made-up face filled with cunning and satisfaction, she indeed seemed to be in utter bliss. A vintage palace-style gown suited her remarkably well that day. The youthful vibrance in her was more obvious than before, she had embraced a bit of a womans charm as well. Thus. Hmm, darling, I think its better if we practice more together, after all, practice makes perfect. Su Wanwan paused. He already had her in his arms The entire city on Valentines Day, seemed like it had gone into hibernation at that time. * * Meanwhile, Bai Ruwei returned to her simple, temporary rental room. It was late at night. Because it was only a month-long winter vacation, she had no relatives or friends in Nancheng. So she resorted to staying in a temporary hostel. A room crammed with bunk beds for several people in a dormitory, accommodating more than a dozen women. Most of them were new to Nancheng for work, with people younger and older than her from all walks of life. Those who chose to live here are generally in transition. Rent was paid weekly. Once they found a job and income stabilized, some would start to move out. Of course, new tenants would also move in. When Bai Ruwei returned to her room, her makeup was a mess, her clothes were dirty, and her hair was a disaster. She went straight to her bed, moving a chair to stand on and rummaged through her belongings for clothes. Because she was on the top bunk, and her chair was relatively new, it creaked loudly, echoing in the room. Her rustling quickly attracted protests. So noisy, can you be a little bit quiet? I was sleeping and you woke me up! Such bad manners! Bai Ruwei rushed to apologize, Im sorry. She apologized repeatedly and picked up her stuff to go take a bath. But then, another voice suddenly spoke up, Always coming back in the middle of the night, smelling like cheap perfume, let me tell you, Bai, when you shower, dont touch my stuff. Im afraid Ill catch an STD. Bai Ruwei was taken aback, she could hardly believe her ears. She looked at the woman, filled with humiliation and anger, What nonsense are you spouting? Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: 616, high energy warning! Chapter 616: 616, high energy warning! She looked at the woman in outrage, What nonsense are you talking about? The woman sat up on her bed, I am talking nonsense? Arent you working at a bar? Everyone knows that women who work in bars are actually all prostitutes! Youre still dressed up so slutty tonight and going out to flirt, dont you dare to admit it? Stop your slander! I was out with my boyfriend tonight! Bai Ruwei could not help screaming. Boyfriend? You mean paramour? The woman sneered at her, Look at this expensive dress. Did you just finish serving someone and return like this? Youre all messed up, are you not ashamed? Why do you have to squeeze with us in this place if you can be a mistress to a rich man? Last time I saw an expensive car pick you up. That car is worth millions. What happened? Didnt you serve him well? Has your paramour run away? Bai Ruwei ignored her and, with red-rimmed eyes, dashed out of the room. She stepped into the bathroom and stood under the shower. Hot water poured from head to toe. Soon, steam clouded her vision, and she couldnt see her own tears. Why was she always being bullied? Why could everyone look down upon her? She had already tried her best. Bai Ruwei turned and saw her reflection in the mirror. The steam fogged up the mirror. The womans skin was fair, her figure delicate. Through the haze, she seemed more lithe and soft. Her face was also quite pretty. But as she continued to stare, her tears flowed more fiercely. What should she do? What should she do to get herself out of this predicament? When would she finally be able to reach the top? * * * The following day, her phone rang. Su Wanwan woke up from her sleep and hurriedly picked up her cell phone. When she saw the name Huang Gangsheng, she remembered she had planned to go to the TV station for a show at nine oclock. Oh no. It was already past eight-fifty! Even if she flew, she wouldnt make it. She had no choice but to answer awkwardly, Hello, team leader, Im sorry, I Haha, its okay, I guessed that you had a wild night on Valentines Day, so you couldnt come, right? Su Wanwan was taken aback, Im sorry. No problem, there will be opportunities next time. Su Wanwan could only continue apologizing repeatedly. As soon as she hung up, the door of the room swung open, and Huo Jingshen strolled in. Annoyed, she threw a pillow at him, You shameless rascal! Huo Jingshen looked at her blushing face, thinking she was shy, he shamelessly laughed, Baby, are you praising your husband? Su Wanwan: Shameless! What kind of inner strength does he have? To say such a thing with a straight face? What are you thinking? Huo Jingshen pinched her cheek. It was soft and tender, like a freshly peeled boiled egg. Without resisting his desire, he lowered his head. Su Wanwan pushed him away, Dont Im Im going to be late for work! First lets and then go to work. Su Wanwan: Could this be a pickup line? This old driver! * * After Valentines Day, all the major companies and institutions in Nancheng gradually resumed regular office hours. Xiao Yebai also recovered and returned to work at Mo Family. A years plan starts with spring. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed, the festivity of the New Year completely faded. The following day was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. On this day, it was also the death anniversary of Xu Xian. At eight or nine in the morning, they arrived at the cemetery. Mo Weiyi, dressed in black, leaned on Xiao Yebais arm and accompanied the Mo Family to sweep the tomb. In addition to the old man from the Mo Family, who hadnt come, there were half of the housekeepers and bodyguards of the Mo Family. In large numbers and silent, they lined up on either side of the tombstone. Apart from them, Mrs. Xu and Xu Jing also followed. The tomb-sweeping process was quite quick; each person presented flowers, lit incense, observed a moment of silence, and the entire process didnt take up to an hour. After it was over and they got outside the cemetery, everyone got into the cars and left in orderly manner. The south of the city was far from here. The elderly Mrs. Xu was going to stay at the Mo Familys old residence for the night. Perhaps Mo Weiyi hadnt seen his grandmother for a while, he decided to return to the old house with her. After more than a dozen black sedans slowly left, Xu Jing spoke, Brother-in-law, could your driver give me a ride? Its not easy to get a cab here. Alright. Mo Yaoxiong agreed. * * After boarding the car, driver Xiaoli drove from the front. The two of them sat quietly in the back. Occasionally he glanced over, seeing Xu Jing wiping away tears, Mo Yaoxiong sighed softly inside, remaining silent. The journey was quiet. Upon reaching Xu Jings residential area, Mo Yaoxiong spoke, You still have the performance tomorrow, dont you? Go home and rest to avoid swelling of your eyes that can affect your performance. Thank you, brother-in-law. Xu Jing nodded, opened the car door, got out, and walked away. Mo Yaoxiong didnt say anything, and Xiaoli also dared not drive away. It was not until the woman outside the car slowly walked into the building lobby that Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, Lets go back home. Okay, sir. Xiaoli immediately drove away. Who knew that before they even reached the entrance of the residential compound, Mo Yaoxiongs phone suddenly rang. He promptly picked up the phone, Xu Jing, what happened? Not sure what was said on the other end, Mo Yaoxiongs face changed suddenly, What did you say? Okay, dont panic, just wait outside, Ill be right there. After saying that, he hung up the phone, Turn the car around. Understood, sir. Xiaoli hurriedly turned around. When they reached her apartment building, Mo Yaoxiong rushed directly into the lobby. Xiaoli frowned. What happened? * * Mo Yaoxiong took the elevator all the way up and, stepping out of the elevator, Xu Jing immediately came over in a panic, Brother-in-law! What happened? Did you call the police? Xu Jing nodded, her voice trembling, Ive already called them, I didnt dare to go in. What if someone is still inside? They probably arent, dont be frightened. Mo Yaoxiong spoke and then went in. Brother-in-law, be careful. Xu Jing grabbed his arm, even her fingers were shaking. She was clearly frightened. Mo Yaoxiong reassured her, Its okay, just stay right behind me. Okay. Mo Yaoxiong went into the house through the wide-open front door, picked up a black umbrella from the entrance, and then stepped into the living room. Luckily nobody was inside. But the house was a mess, the living room, kitchen, there were things scattered everywhere. When Mo Yaoxiong opened the bedroom door, it was even more chaotic, her clothes were all pulled out, over the floor, and the bed, they were everywhere. Xu Jing walked over wanting to clean up, but Mo Yaoxiong stopped her, Dont touch anything, wait for the police, they may need to collect fingerprints. Okay. Xu Jing could only comply. Soon, the police arrived. After investigation, the leading officer said, There are no fingerprints, looks like the work of a professional. Was there any surveillance? Mo Yaoxiong asked. Turns out there only were surveillance cameras in the elevators in this residence. They went to the security room to check the footage, there were people coming and going in the elevator, it was impossible to pinpoint who it was, and the time was not certain. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. They returned to the room. Check and see if any valuables are missing? Xu Jing hurried to check and finally said, My laptop got stolen, and some thousands in the drawer, all my bank cards, are all gone. Looks like it was burglary. The police made a conclusion, Have already filed a case, if we find any clues, well inform you. Okay. While filling out the paperwork, another policeman said, Yesterday, right next door, a single woman was alone at home and ordered delivery. As a result, thieves rushed in. She thought it was the delivery guy, she had no guard up, not only was her home rummaged through, but she was also assaulted and suffered injuries. Its lucky if you only lose your property, as long as the person is safe, its okay. Xu Jing turned pale with fright, II live alone usually. The policeman looked at Mo Yaoxiong, Then who is this gentleman? He is my brother-in-law. The policeman: After all the back and forth, they thought they were a couple. * * After the police left, Xu Jing apologized, Brother-in-law, Im so sorry for letting people mistake us again, I dont know why theyre so gossipy Enough, why bring this up now. Mo Yaoxiong felt somewhat embarrassed, then interrupted her, By the way, why do you keep the money at home? Its very insecure. I just received my salary yesterday, I dont use that card much, so I thought to take the money out and change card. All these things can be done online, if you dont know, I can teach you later. Okay. Xu Jing was a violin practitioner, too innocent, and lacking practical commonsense about lifes finance. Mo Yaoxiong felt helpless. Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: 617, high energy warning! The warmth of spring once again Chapter 617: 617, high energy warning! The warmth of spring once again He took out his phone, Ill transfer a few tens of thousands to you first, you can use it for now. No need, brother-in-law, I cant take your money. Enough, why are you making a fuss with me? With that remark, Xu Jing found it impossible to refuse. She glanced at the time on her phone, Brother-in-law, its getting late. Ill cook something, you should stay and have dinner before you leave. As if fearing his refusal, Xu Jing immediately added, I have someone coming to change the locks, Im a bit uneasy being alone. Alright then. Mo Yaoxiong could only comply. Having just experienced a robbery, feeling scared was inevitable. Just whip up something simple, I have things to do when I get back. He reminded her again. Okay, just a few homestyle dishes, it will be quick. Xu Jing quickly went into the kitchen to start cooking, and Mo Yaoxiong started tidying up the living room. Not long after, the person who was changing the locks arrived. As the locks were being changed, the meal was also ready. In less than half an hour, Xu Jing had prepared two meat and one vegetable dish, along with a tomato and egg soup. Brother-in-law, I only have these ingredients at home, dont mind. Thats fine. Mo Yaoxiong sat down at the dining table. He had been up early to visit the graveyard, and then spent the rest of the day settling some affairs, he was indeed a bit hungry. Brother-in-law, do you want a drink? No. Xu Jing stood up, took a gift box from the cabinet, This was a prize from the companys annual meeting. People were envious when I, a newcomer, received this. They said its some kind of Champagne. I dont know much about it, brother-in-law, what do you think of this wine? Mo Yaoxiong quickly took the bottle of champagne. Sure enough. I live alone and cant drink this wine. Brother-in-law, today is a good opportunity since youre here, lets drink it. Okay. Drinking was Mo Yaoxiongs greatest hobby. He often cant resist having a few drinks. After a tiresome day, seeing the Champagne bottle gave him the urge to drink, so strong that he couldnt suppress it. Xu Jing poured him a glass, he finished it in a few gulps along with his meal. While pouring the wine, she also warned, This Champagne is to be sipped slowly, drinking it quickly can get you drunk. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, but didnt pay much attention. He had good alcohol tolerance, during the holidays and social gatherings, he would often drink, and he should be able to handle this bottle without getting drunk. However By his third glass, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly felt that something was amiss. His thoughts became fuzzy, and he started to feel dizzy. Xu Jing immediately asked, Brother-in-law, did you drink too fast? This wine can get you drunk easily. Mo Yaoxiong held his forehead, Im fine, Ill have Xiaoli pick me up. Okay. Xu Jing sat by, watching him call his driver on the phone. After he gave his brief instructions, Mo Yaoxiong put down the phone, tried to stand up, but everything in front of him suddenly blurred. Brother-in-law. Xu Jing quickly steadied his arm, her body leaning against his, Brother-in-law, are you okay? Let me help you to the sofa to rest, Xiaoli will be here soon. Okay. Xu Jing assisted Mo Yaoxiong towards the bedroom. Mo Yaoxiong was feeling groggy, head heavy and feet light, he barely noticed anything and fell asleep with his eyes closed. Xu Jing looked at the man laying on the pink sheet, her gaze flickered a little, and she turned and left the room. She closed the bedroom door behind her and went to the entrance of the apartment. Within a minute, hurried footsteps were heard, and the apartment door was knocked. Xu Jing opened the door, and smiled, Xiaoli, youre here. Miss Xu, Im here to pick up Mr. Mo. No need. Xu Jings face held a faint smile, He said hes not going back tonight. Xiaoli paused, What do you mean? Xiaoli, youve been with Mr. Mo for so long, dont tell me you dont understand what this means? Xiaoli froze on the spot. Before he could speak, the door had already shut directly. Xiaoli stood outside, feeling a chill down his spine. Could it be His brother-in-law and aunt were involved? He wasnt sure, and quickly took out his phone to call Mo Yaoxiong, only to have it hang up after two rings. Considering that Mo Yaoxiong had been here several times in the past, hed always waited downstairs. No wonder, the two of them had been secretly seeing each other! Xiaoli furrowed his brow and turned to leave. ** By the time Mo Yaoxiong woke up, it was already the next morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he knew something was wrong. This wasnt his room, and there was a strange scent in the air. And he He sat up abruptly, only to hear a familiar female voice beside him, Brother-in-law. Mo Yaoxiong turned his head. When he saw Xu Jing only wearing her pajamas, he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped on his face, completely dumbfounding him. Brother-in-law. Xu Jing bit her lip, looking distressingly, You drank too much last night, said you were dizzy, and mistaken me for my sister. What did you say? You held me, kept calling my sisters name, I tried to push you away, but you Xu Jing lowered her head and started to wipe her tears. Mo Yaoxiong looked panicked, How could this be? Didnt Ilast night He remembered being here for dinner the previous night, and feeling dizzy after three drinks, but what happened after that Mo Yaoxiong tried hard to remember, but couldnt jog his memory. And right now, he was indeed Xu Jing, did I really last night He couldnt quite believe it. Xu Jing was still in her pajamas. Could it be possible that he was just drunk and had lain here all night? But the next second, Xu Jing stretched out her hand to reveal what was hidden beneath her sleepwear. That glimmer of hope was instantly shattered. Mo Yaoxiong sat there, his pupils contracting harshly, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body freezing cold. Brother-in-law, I feel so humiliated, what should I do? Xu Jing started to cry, holding her face. She cried and wiped her tears as she spoke, I betrayed my sister, yesterday was her death anniversary, I was thinking if you got drunk, I could help you back to your room and let you rest, but I didnt expectI didnt expect.. Listening to the womans crying, Mo Yaoxiong clenched his fists, his mind full of thoughts, yet couldnt utter a single word. After what felt like an eternity, he finally said, Enough, stop crying. He didnt expect things to turn out like this, but men are invariably more cold and rational than women. Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xu Jing, Lets pretend this never happened. You cannot mention this to anyone, do you understand? Brother-in-law, what do you mean? Xu Jing frowned with a look of confusion and hurt. Xu Jing, lets just say I wronged you. Mo Yaoxiong felt upset, But yesterday was Xu Xians death anniversary, I didnt expect to get drunk after a few drinks, mistook you for her, and committed such a mistakebut dont worry, I will make it up to you. Brother-in-law, I dont want compensation. What do you mean? Mo Yaoxiong was taken aback. Could it be that Xu Jing wanted to Xu Jing spoke softly, Brother-in-law, you have helped me with so many things over the years, dont worry, I dont need compensation, nor an apology. Last night was purely accidental, and besides She gritted her teeth, I was also willing. This answer surprised Mo Yaoxiong, he looked at Xu Jing, surprised that she would say such a thing. He assumed that Xu Jing would use last nights incident to threaten him. After all, he had wronged Xu Jing once twenty years ago. Back then, he was already married to Xu Xian. Under similar circumstances as last night and after a few drinks, when he woke up, Xu Jing was also This kind of immoral behavior is abhorrent across any era. In the end, it was Xu Jing who said that they could pretend it never happened because she didnt want to upset her sister and stress out the child in her womb. Later he found out that Xu Xian was already more than a month pregnant, but since it was an unstable pregnancy, she didnt want him to worry and had only told her mother and sister. Not long after, Xu Jing married Qu Zhizun and emigrated to America with him. The incident truly seemed as if it had never taken place. But for some reason as if it was karma, the child Xu Xian was carrying was miscarried a few months later. She got pregnant twice more after that but, each time before full term, for various reasons, the child would die in her womb. Mo Yaoxiong felt guilty, always believing that it was because of him that these misfortunes had happened. Chapter 618 - Chapter 618: 618, accompany the Little Princess shopping Chapter 618: 618, accompany the Little Princess shopping Mo Yaoxiong felt guilty, always feeling that it was his fault that led to the tragedy. Moreover, later he found out that Xu Jings marriage was also unhappy, her husband had a tendency towards domestic violence and their business was suffering losses. Therefore, to make up for his past mistakes, and the guilt in his heart, over the years, he has often secretly helped Xu Jing. He didnt expect that now Brother-in-law. Xu Jings voice brought Mo Yaoxiong out of his past. You should take a shower first, and then I will have the driver take you back. We will act as if this incident has never happened. You can rest assured, the neighbours next door always leave early and come back late, no one will notice your presence. Xu Jings arrangements were very thoughtful. This only made Mo Yaoxiong feel even more ashamed. However, at the moment, he had no time for further contemplation. Wrapping a bedsheet around his body, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom. After the door closed, the sound of running water could be heard. The woman sitting on the bed looked at the semi-transparent bathroom door and smiled eerily. ** Bathroom. While taking a shower, Mo Yaoxiong felt something prickling on his neck. Looking in the mirror, he discovered a scratch on his neck, as if it was made by a fingernail. Right in the center of his neck, it was very noticeable. Mo Yaoxiongs brow immediately furrowed. This Xu Jing ** After showering, Mo Yaoxiong put on the clothes he wore yesterday, quickly left and went downstairs. The black Audi was still parked in the same place. The urgent knocking on the window woke Xiaoli from his sleep. Seeing Mo Yaoxiong outside, he quickly unlocked the door. Mo Yaoxiong got into the back seat, his voice clearly tired, Back to the old house. Yes, sir. Xiaoli didnt dare to say another word and drove out of the housing complex. All the way, Mo Yaoxiong didnt speak, leaning his head against the black leather seat, as if resting his eyes. Just as they pulled into the driveway of the Mo Familys old house, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, Xiaoli, last nights incident was an accident, do you understand what Im saying? Sir, I understand. Xiaoli answered nervously. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, pushed open the car door and got out. The time was 8 a.m. The early spring in Nancheng, the sky was already bright at this hour. Compared with the gloomy weather of the previous day, today was sunny with blue skies and white clouds, the air was very refreshing. Yet Mo Yaoxiong walked with heavy steps, his brow furrowed. He didnt return to the old mans room of the Mo family, intending to go directly to his villa. But as soon as he came out of the garage, he bumped into Xiao Yebai coming from the other side. Dad. Mo Yaoxiongs expression obviously stiffened, Yebai, why are you up so early? Xiao Yebai lightly hooked his thin lips, Dad, where are you coming back from? Oh. Mo Yaoxiongs eyes flickered, quickly saying, I had a gathering with a few friends last night and accidentally drank too much. Afraid of disturbing your rest if I came back late, I stayed at the hotel. Xiao Yebai nodded. His expression and tone were very bland, but Mo Yaoxiong inexplicably felt nervous and immediately changed the subject, Is Yiyi still asleep? Its still early, let her sleep a little longer. Xiao Yebai said, glancing at his watch, Dad, Im off to the company now. Okay, be careful on the way. Mo Yaoxiong finished speaking and turned around to leave. He walked away quickly. Xiao Yebai stood at the garage and narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on Mo Yaoxiongs retreating figure for several seconds. If he hadnt seen wrong, there was a noticeable scratch on Mo Yaoxiongs neck. It looked like it was made by a womans fingernails. ** On the second of March, Nancheng University officially started the semester. There were fewer courses for the second semester of junior year. Most students had already found internships during the winter break, and the number of students attending classes had dropped by nearly half. After the first law class in the morning, the class president came over. Weiyi, have you found an internship yet? No. Do you have any direction? If not, do you want to try Yurui with us? Yurui? Even though Mo Weiyi didnt go to college often, as a law student, he had heard of the illustrious Yurui Law Firm. After all, it was the most famous law firm in Nancheng and also an enterprise under the Lu family. It employed all the hotshot lawyers in the city, with branches located all over the country. It was said that as long as you could secure the help of a lawyer from the Yurui Law Firm, even the most difficult cases could be solved in an instant. Especially the resident headliner, Lu Chenyu. Since the commencement of his career, hed never lost a case and boasted the reputation of Nanchengs top gold-medal lawyer. However, the man was somewhat mysterious. Aside from his occasional court appearances, he seldom showed up at public events. And whenever he did appear, he was essentially always with his good buddy, Chu Xiuhuang. The two were very close. Whenever they were spotted, it was either at the Huangyou Groups premises or various clubs, hotels, and entertainment venues. As time passed, rumors began to circulate online about their alleged homosexual relationship; there were even fans calling them a perfect couple. Even Lu Chenyu himself often reposted related articles on Weibo. In short, he led an extremely chaotic personal life! Mo Weiyi immediately responded, Sure. Then great. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Hu will take us for the interview. You should get ready to come with us. Remember to dress somewhat formally. Formally? Mo Weiyi pondered, what counts as formal anyway? Most of her wardrobe consisted of skirts. Before the New Year, she had bought heaps of leisure sportswear for morning runs with Su Wenwen. Now, it seemed she would have to buy some office clothing. Just do it! She first sent a message to Xiao Yebai, Xiaobai, what do you think about me interning at Yurui this semester? Xiao Yebais response arrived around noon, Good. Good? Thats it? Shouldnt he have said, Wifey, come and intern at the Mo Family? Mo Weiyi pouted. Forget it. In reality, she didnt really want to intern at the Mo Family. After all, for a law student, interning at a law firm was undoubtedly where growth was the fastest. Once she finished lunch, Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan, asking her to join for a shopping spree. Who knew I dont have time, Im at the TV station. Ah, schools in session, youre still going to the TV station? Su Wanwan replied, My course load is lighter this semester, so Ill be working at the TV station most of the time. I cant accompany you. Alright then. But shopping alone just wouldnt be fun. Xiaobai was at work, and Rong An wouldnt have a clue whats good. After some thought, Mo Weiyi called Chu Xiuhuang. ** Noon, at the headquarters of the Huangyou Group. Shi Huan was about to get up for lunch, when suddenly Good afternoon, Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu, hello. Shi Huan hurriedly lifted her head, Mr. Chu. Chu Xiuhuang came in with lips slightly pursed, Little Huanhuan, go to the World Trade Plaza. Certainly. Shi Huan immediately agreed, Is it an event arrangement? Yeah. Chu Xiuhuang replied without changing his expression, Accompany the little princess on a shopping spree. Shi Huan was taken aback, Pardon? At one-thirty in the afternoon, at the World Trade Plaza. Shi Huan arrived at the rendezvous at the shopping malls entrance, only to see Mo Weiyi already standing there. As always, Mo Weiyi stood out and was eye-catching in her attire; the seaweed-like half-length curly hair and the oversized vintage sunglasses that covered her entire face. Her fair skin and seductive red lips drew the attention of people around her. A short distance from her stood Rong An, dressed in a simple black suit, a coat of the same color, his expressionless face hidden behind sunglasses. Their demeanor made it feel as if they were filming a movie titled The Princess and Her Bodyguard. Having spotted Shi Huan, Mo Weiyi immediately removed her sunglasses, revealing a pretty face perfect as a plastic surgery specimen, Little Huanhuan! Youre finally here! Shi Huan quickly walked over, Miss Mo. Why do you still call me Miss Mo? Mo Weiyi pouted, How many times do I have to tell you, if you keep saying that, I will get mad! Um, Weiyi. Shi Huan had to correct herself. There was no other way; she always felt that Mo Weiyi and Chu Xiuhuang were similar; high-profile, beautiful, and arrogant. They naturally exuded an aura of superiority. As she was used to working under Chu Xiuhuang, every time she saw Mo Weiyi, she couldnt help but call her Miss Mo. Yeah, call me Weiyi from now on, or Yiyi, either is fine. Mo Weiyi casually looped an arm around hers. Heres the situation. I plan to intern at a law firm. They require us to wear formal clothes, so I thought Id ask Chu for a favor and have you come shopping with me to buy suitable clothes. You neednt worry, youll still get your regular wages for today. Ive already confirmed this with Chu. You could have asked me directly, there was no need to trouble Mr. Chu. Shi Huan replied immediately. Chapter 619 - Chapter 619: 619, I want to buy all these clothes. Chapter 619: 619, I want to buy all these clothes. That wont do, its a workday, its not appropriate for you to skip a days work to go shopping with me. Shi Huan: Now, it felt almost like she was skipping work like a miner. But, Little Princess, youre friends with Mr. Chu, so you dont have to deduct my salary. Lets go, Im not so familiar with formal wear, but as a secretary, you should know it very well, Mo Weiyi said, pulling her straight towards the mall. The two went directly to the womens clothing department on the 10th floor and entered a boutique that specializes in workwear for women. Today is a weekday, and its just past one in the afternoon, so there werent many customers in the spacious boutique. Under Shi Huans guidance, Mo Weiyi quickly picked out a few nice clothes. Alright, you can try these on. But Mo Weiyi said, No need to try them on, Ill take all these clothes. Shi Huan was taken aback, Dont you need to check the size? What if they didnt fit? Mo Weiyi also looked surprised. She always bought clothes on a whim, only trying them on in-store if they looked particularly appealing. Usually, if she liked the style, she would simply buy it and have it shipped home. When it was time to wear it, she would just put together an outfit; there were rarely issues with the sizing, and if there were, she would usually give the clothes away or discard them. Seeing Shi Huans curious expression, she smiled and said, Alright then, Ill go try them on. Mhm, Ill hold your things for you. Shi Huan held her bags and coat, finding a spot outside to wait for her. The store had a dedicated dressing room area, with separate cubicles that were spacious and airy, and the waiting area sofas were quite comfortable. But the peace didnt last long. The door of the dressing room next door opened, and then a familiar voice echoed, Huanhuan, what a coincidence, are you shopping here? Tu Youran wore a beige casual suit and deep blue trousers. Her elegant curly hair, and the gentle smile in her eyes gave off an air of sophistication, typical of urban mature ladies. Shi Huan stood up in surprise, greeted her aunt, and then said, I am accompanying a friend to buy clothes. I see, Tu Youran looked at the clothes and bag in her hand. She recognized the bag. It was a European designer bag worth tens of thousands of RMB, a beautiful cherry color. Under the lighting of the mall, it gleamed brilliantly. The last time she was back in Canada, she had seen it in a duty-free shop but didnt buy it because it was too expensive. Tu Youran looked away from her and glanced at herself in the dressing room mirror. I just joined a new company. Im starting my job tomorrow, so Im here to pick out a few outfits. Shi Huan nodded. Tu Youran worked in finance, was excellent at money management and investment. A few years ago, the Shi Family fell into debt of tens of millions, and Shi Minyan was just a poor boy from a ruined family. A lot happened then, but it cant be denied that since marrying Tu Youran and with the support of the Tu Family, as well as the assistance from his competent wife, Shi Minyans circumstances started to improve. The two first invested in a project, which brought their first fortune. After they had Little Luoluo, they moved to Canada and expanded their business for five years. A few days ago, Shi Huan even rode in Shi Minyans car, an Audi worth over a million. It could be seen that the couple was living a rather luxurious life now. By the way, your uncle will be here soon, Tu Youran said, watching Shi Huans reaction in the dressing mirror. As expected, Shi Huan frowned, seeming a bit conflicted. Tu Youran continued, Little Luoluo is also here, shes been missing you these past few days. Always says she misses you a lot. How about we all have afternoon tea together later? That wont be necessary, I still need to accompany my friend to buy clothes, Shi Huan immediately refused. Tu Youran, still smiling, turned to face her, You can invite your friend along. Your uncle and I will settle down in Nancheng soon. His business is just taking off, it would help to meet more people. Shi Huan: She was not interested in joining them for afternoon tea at all. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar and gentle voice spoke up, Youran, have you bought the clothes yet? Minyan! Tu Yourans smile deepened. She immediately went over and linked arms with the man, We just ran into Huanhuan. Huanhuan! Little Luoluos voice immediately rang out. Shi Huan turned around. Little Luoluo was being held by Shi Minyan. She was waving her little hand, her big bright eyes filled with joy and surprise, Huanhuan, I miss you so much. Shi Minyan put her down, and the little girl immediately took off running towards her. She grips Shi Huans clothes, raising her head, tilting her little face, and asks accusingly, Why havent you been playing with me lately? Shi Huan strokes the soft hair of the little girl. Since the first day of the New Year, she hadnt seen Little Luoluo, and she didnt have a cell phone to contact her. All in all, its been about half a month. Tu Youran suddenly asked from the side, Luoluo, werent you going to buy a teddy bear? Where is it? Little Luoluo purses her little mouth and doesnt speak. Minyan, what happened? Tu Youran immediately looked at her husband. Shi Minyan explained, She had a stomachache just now, so she went to the restroom. Why did she have a stomachache? The expression on Little Luoluos face instantly became guiltier. Shi Minyan said, She just ate two ice creams and caught a cold. Shi Huan looks at the little girl speechlessly, Luoluo, didnt I tell you not to eat too much ice cream? Does your stomach hurt? Little Luoluo immediately nodded, Huanhuan, my tummy hurts! You need to listen to what mom and dad tell you in the future, got it? Little Luoluo kept nodding, I got it. The little girls obedient appearance made Shi Huan struggle to suppress a smile. Shi Minyan at the side also raised his thin lips in amusement. Tu Youran stood across from them, watching the scene before her eyes, feeling that the image was too dazzling. The man was tall and handsome, the womans smile was gentle, and the little girl was pouting her little mouth pitifully. Her fingers clenched tightly, her fingernails stabbing into her flesh, causing a slight pain. Suddenly, Tu Youran walked over, violently pulling on Little Luoluos arm, Luoluo, if you sneak food again, mom will be angry! Little Luoluo was somewhat scared, her eyes wide open, silent. Tu Youran then pointed accusingly at Shi Minyan, Youre just as bad, why do you always give her so much ice cream! Shes naive, but youre an adult, cant you act like one? Publicly scolded like this, the smile on Shi Minyans face disappeared, his expression cooling down. But he didnt utter a word. His reaction only made Tu Youran even angrier. Dont you know a childs stomach is fragile? How can you even call yourself a father? Every time Luoluo gets into trouble, in the end, isnt it always me who takes care of her! When will you start considering my feelings? Dont always spoil her like this! The womans voice was serious, even raising in volume, attracting the attention of nearby waitstaff. Little Luoluo, clearly frightened, sucked in her lower lip as if about to cry. Looking at his daughters pitiful appearance, Shi Minyan finally spoke, What are you making a fuss about? Isnt it just a stomachache from eating something bad? Shes fine now. You say it so lightly. Last time in Canada, when Luoluo suddenly had appendicitis, who was it that hailed a cab in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital? Just then, the changing rooms door opened, and Mo Weiyi, dressed in standard black professional attire, walked out. While she had been trying on clothes inside, shed heard the commotion outside and hadnt expected it to be Shi Huans aunt and uncle arguing. But before she could say anything, Shi Minyan had already turned around and left abruptly. He walked very quickly, as if he was trying to vent his frustration. Everyone was caught off guard. After a moment of silence, Tu Youran hurried after him. Shi Huan was somewhat taken aback by this sudden turn of events. She instinctively wanted to follow them, but the corner of her clothes was tugged on. Huanhuan! Little Luoluo, lifting her little head, looked excited as she said, Mommy and Daddy finally left. Lets go play together. Shi Huan stared at the little girl speechlessly, . Her parents were arguing, yet this little girl seemed completely undeterred. Just a moment ago she was about to cry from fear, yet now she was laughing. Mo Weiyi walked over, Huanhuan, whats going on, what were your aunt and uncle arguing about? Shi Huan shook her head, Its nothing, just a temporary quarrel. She also thought the argument between the two was quite ridiculous. Alright, then quickly help me see, how do I look in this? Mo Weiyi was too lazy to care about those two anymore and dragged Shi Huan over to evaluate her outfit. The Little Princess generally wore flowing long dresses, dressing elegantly like a lady. Now, wearing this black professional attire paired with a white lace embroidery blouse, she looked completely different. Honestly, it changed her entire demeanor, like she was a completely different person. From an elegant and beautiful Little Princess, in an instant she transformed into a calm and elegant office lady. But when she laughed, she was still as dazzling as ever. Chapter 620 - Chapter 620: 620, Illegitimate daughter? Chapter 620: 620, Illegitimate daughter? Shi Huan instantly nodded, Its beautiful. I found it pretty too, I didnt realize that I look so good in professional attire! Mo Weiyi boasted. I initially thought if I ended up becoming a lawyer after graduation, wearing these monochromatic work clothes, Itd be so dull and ugly! Turns out, as expected, looks matter in how clothes look on you. As long as the person and figure are beautiful, even a sack looks fashionable! Next, Mo Weiyi tried on several more outfits, each fitting perfectly. Meanwhile, Little Luoluo behaved herself all along, not causing any fuss whatsoever. After handing the tried clothes to the salesperson, Mo Weiyi picked up a black suit and said, Huanhuan, I am sure you will look fabulous in this outfit. You should try it on. No need, Im not buying clothes. It doesnt matter if youre not buying, Ill gift it to you. Shi Huan was taken aback, and quickly refused, I genuinely dont need clothes. I have a lot of professional attire at home. What she said was the truth. Over these five years, her size hadnt really changed, so the several identical professional suits she had bought earlier still worked well for her. Mo Weiyi said, No, youve spent so much time shopping with me. Id feel embarrassed if you left empty-handed. Hurry up, if you do not want to try it on, then lets just straight away buy it? After saying this, she glanced at Shi Huans chest, I noticed the size, Im just afraid the bust might not be big enough. Huh? Before Shi Huan could comprehend, Mo Weiyi quickly said, Im so envious of you. You have such a big chest size, just like Wanwan. Why doesnt my bust grow bigger? Saying this, she looked down at her own small B-cup. Shi Huan was extremely embarrassed. Even though this was a womens clothing shop, and all the shoppers were women, but Openly discussing breast sizes like this, to be honest, was a bit awkward. You should really try it on; if the bust turned out to be small, itd be very inconvenient. Hurry and go try it on. Saying this, Mo Weiyi shoved the clothes into her hands. Shi Huan had no choice but to go inside. As soon as the door closed, she took a look at the price tag on the dress and almost dropped the clothes in shock. The price of this professional attire and the ones she usually wore was almost the same, except for the brand name and a bit better quality fabric. But it cost more than 20,000 yuan? Indeed the Mo familys Little Princess, splurging money even while shopping for clothes! * * When Shi Huan came out after trying on the clothes, Mo Weiyi clapped her hands, Perfect! Please bill this one as well, and Ill pay with card. Sure, Miss Mo. The saleswoman was extremely pleased. Mo Weiyi was an old patron of this mall, but it was her first time purchasing from their store. The first time and she spent over tens of thousands! If she visited occasionally from now on, they wouldnt have to worry about their stores sales! Weiyi, this suit is a bit too expensive, Shi Huan felt somewhat uneasy. She didnt need to dress so extravagantly for her daily commutes to work. Its not expensive. As long as you look good in it. Mo Weiyi had a carefree attitude. She casually swiped her card, then handed the shopping bag to Shi Huan, Ill be doing an internship soon and there will be a lot of things I will not understand. Ill need your help then. So consider this as a consultancy fee. Do not refuse it! Shi Huan had to laugh at this, and she accepted it. When leaving the mall, she checked her phone again. Little Luoluo was right beside her, but that couple hadnt made a single phone call. * * Rong An drove Shi Huan back to the Huangyou Building. Once she got off, Shi Huan called Shi Minyan. Nobody answered. Fearing the child might get anxious, she still had time before her shift ended, hence she decided to take her to the office. In the elevator, Shi Huan told her, Luoluo, once we get to the office, you need to behave and stay quiet, okay? Your parents will pick you up in the evening, understand? Little Luoluo obediently nodded, Okay. But when they reached the top floor and the elevator doors opened, a flamboyant man was standing outside. Little Luoluo blinked her eyes and opened her mouth wide, Brother-in-law! Shi Huan felt thunderstruck. However, Chu Xiuhuang looked delighted and walked in, pressing the button to close the elevator doors and hit the basement button. Shi Huan hurriedly said, Mr. Chu, I need to go back to the office. No need. What do you mean? Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, his smile, radiant as ever, Since my niece has come over, shouldnt I invite her for a feast? Niece? Shi Huan could only feel her eye twitching. Its almost 5 p.m., Im starving. Arent you two hungry? Chu Xiuhuang spoke in a caring manner, Luoluo, are you hungry? Hungry! Little Luoluo nodded eagerly, Huanhuan, lets go grab some food together. Chu Xiuhuang affectionately patted her little head. Right. Her fondness wasnt in vain. The red envelopes he had sent earlier had indeed been useful! Peoples hearts can be bought with money, and kids are no exception! Looking at the time, Shi Huan hesitated and then agreed, Fine, lets have dinner, and I can drop her home afterwards. OK. * * In the underground garage, Chu Xiuhuang got into the back seat of the car with Little Luoluo. Shi Huan was in charge of driving. When they reached the restaurant hed mentioned, a waiter came up to greet them as they entered. He must have recognized Chu Xiuhuang because he immediately bowed at an exaggerated ninety-degree angle and said, Welcome, Young Master Chu! Little Luoluo, clutching Shi Huans hand, curiously watched the waiter. With her delicate features, dressed in a pink cashmere coat with polka dots, she was so adorable with her wide, innocent eyes that the waiter couldnt help but sneak glances at her. Young Master Chu actually brought a mother and daughter to dinner! The woman may be ordinary-looking, but the little girl is genuinely beautiful. No wonder they say daughters take after their fathers. However How did this woman ensnare Young Master Chu? * * The private dining room on the second floor. When it was time to order, Chu Xiuhuang asked, What do you want to eat? Little Luoluo didnt say a word. Therefore, Shi Huan said, Luoluo, tell us what you want to eat. With her mouth open, Little Luoluo promptly said, Braised pork! I want braised pork! Shi Huan: This little foodie! Chu Xiuhuang smiled, Luoluo, do you really love braised pork that much? Little Luoluo eagerly nodded her head, The braised pork that Huanhuan makes is the best! Just like me, I also like braised pork. With beautiful fingers deftly manipulating, Chu Xiuhuang turned a knowing look towards Shi Huan, You should make braised pork for me more often. Shi Huan coughed lightly and pretended not to hear. Chu Xiuhuang then asked, Little Huanhuan, what do you want to eat? Whatever. Theres no dish called whatever here. The corners of Shi Huans mouth twitched. So Chu Xiuhuang switched his attack to Little Luoluo, Luoluo, do you know what your sister likes to eat? This little girl had received a large red envelope from him! Indeed. Huanhuan likes to eat abalone mushroom! Little Luoluo blurted out. Abalone mushroom? Chu Xiuhuangs elegant eyebrows arched. When he looked at Shi Huan again, his thin lips curved into a smirk, and there was a trace of playful banter in his eyes, So, Little Huanhuan has such a strong taste. Shi Huan frowned. What was his expression about? And How come abalone mushroom constitutes a strong taste? She didnt get it. * * Soon, the waiter began to bring up the exquisite dishes one by one. During the meal, it was mainly the little girl chattering away, and she seemed to be getting more familiar with Chu Xiuhuang and was talking quite a lot. By the time they finished eating, it was past six oclock. Shi Huan took out her mobile phone and glanced at it. Those two supposed parents hadnt even called to check in yet. Did they really trust her that much with their daughter? Even if they did trust her, shouldnt they at least call to check in? Damn! Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a strong smell of smoke and alcohol wafted in, followed by Second brother, you really are eating here? After saying that, Nangong Ci, with his mischievous eyes, looked at Shi Huan, Hey, if it isnt Secretary Shi? Left with no choice, Shi Huan greeted him, Doctor Nangong. When he finally noticed Little Luoluo, Nangong Ci uttered another Damn, Second brother, this cant be your illegitimate daughter? Shes grown so big? Chu Xiuhuang: Shi Huan: Little Luoluo blinked her beautiful big eyes, and remembering what Chu Xiuhuang had told her, she opened her mouth and said, Brother-in-law said that he is my brother-in-law. At that comment, Nangong Cis cigarette fell straight to the floor. Shi Huan helplessly touched her forehead. Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. Once outside, Chu Xiuhuang had barely put the little girl in the back seat when Shi Huan closed the car door quickly to prevent Little Luoluo from hearing their conversation. Master Chu, can you please not teach the child to talk nonsense? She didnt even know when these two became so close, calling each other brother-in-law all the time, utterly shocking. What nonsense did I talk? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, Arent you my girlfriend? Since youre my girlfriend, isnt your sister supposed to call me brother-in-law? Did I say anything wrong? Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: 621, Chu Er: Are you a lesbian? Chapter 621: 621, Chu Er: Are you a lesbian? Mr. Chu, Ive told you before, we are not a good match. How do you know were not a good match if you dont try? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, his expression serious but his words ridiculous, We can try different places or approaches, and stick with whatever works best. Youre free to choose. Shi Huan: She could only helplessly hold her forehead, Mr. Chu, please stop joking around. If you didnt understand it before, let me say it again, we can never be together. Reason. Because I have decided not to marry for my entire life. Are you a lesbian? Shi Huan was speechless: What the hell does lesbian mean! If youre not a lesbian, why are you choosing never to marry? Chu Xiuhuang leaned close to her, his deep voice ambiguous and enthralling, Little Huanhuan, being with a man feels good. Dont you want to try it? Youll be twenty-five after your birthday right? Dont you ever feel lonely in the still of the night? Dont you wish you had a man to keep you company, to take care of you Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed back a whole step. Shi Huan turned her face cold, immediately got in the car. Chu Xiuhuang steadied himself and looked back. Damn, there was a big road right behind him. Luckily, he was young and strong, and his waist was good so he wasnt pushed over. Was this woman trying to murder her husband? How ruthless * * * They quickly set off. Shi Huan sat quietly in the front and said nothing. Contrarily, Chu Xiuhuang was chatting sporadically with the little girl. Halfway there, Shi Huans phone finally rang. After a glance at the caller ID, she quickly answered, Hello? Huanhuan, how is Luoluo? Is she crying? Shi Minyan had barely finished asking when the sound of Luoluos silver bell-like laughter came from the back seat. He breathed a sigh of relief, She seems to like you. Take care of her for a while, Ill pick her up in a couple of days. Alright. Shi Huan didnt ask for the reason. Tell me if you need anything, I have to hang up now, Ive got something here. Goodbye. After ending the call, Shi Huan watched the sign, turning the car around at the front. What happened? Chu Xiuhuang asked. Shi Huan said, Mr. Chu, Im taking Luoluo home first. Can you drive home by yourself later? Sure. Chu Xiuhuang did not ask more. When they got to the Mei Jiayuan residential area, she parked the car, took the child and left. Chu Xiuhuang lowered the car window and lit a cigarette. He leaned against the side of the car window, smoking and narrowing his deep, narrow phoenix eyes, counting from below. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Only after seeing the light turn on in the 9th floor window, the man curled up his thin lip, and smiled wickedly amid the smoke. * * * The next day. In the morning, Mo Weiyi went to school. After gathering everyone, he set off for Yurui Law Firm on Yatt Road. A total of five people went together, including the head teacher Mr. Hu, the class president, and two girls. On the way, Mr. Hu repeatedly emphasized that this job interview opportunity was a rare one. He hoped that everyone would perform well during the interview and strive to be an intern at Yurui. Blabbering all the way. Everyone was very excited and ambitious. The two girls even put on makeup, aiming to impress and seize this internship opportunity with their best appearance. When they arrived at the Yurui Law Firm, it was just 10 oclock in the morning. The law firm had already started work. The receptionist on the ground floor was making a phone call to arrange the interview upstairs. Meanwhile, Mo Weiyi and two female classmates found a spot in the waiting area and sat down. The two girls with good relations were whispering and discussing something. Mo Weiyi took out his phone and searched for news about Yurui. Suddenly, the class president whispered, Shush, Lawyer Lu is coming! Mo Weiyi raised his head to see. Lu Chenyu walked in from the outside with a black briefcase. He was wearing a standard three-piece navy blue suit, and over it, a long dark grey coat. His long, narrow face glowed against his pale skin, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses rested on his nose. Tall and skinny, looking clean, handsome, and sporting the typical lawyer attire. Good morning, Lawyer Lu! Morning, Lawyer Lu! Morning, Lu! Lu Chenyu showed no expression. People greeted him, but he ignored them, aloof as if he was inaccessible. No wonder, after all, this firm was named after him. Mo Weiyi had just looked up, and Yurui Law Firm was founded by Lus father. He named it after his son, perhaps representing some expectations The two girls began to gush: Wow, who would have thought Lawyer Lu is so handsome? So aloof too! I love this kind of scholarly handsome guy the most. Ive seen him arguing in court, and man, his words sting! So handsome, so handsome! In Mo Weiyis mind, was he handsome? Why did she feel This Lu Chenyu gave a gay vibe? Both are bespectacled men, but her own husband wouldnt give people the vibe of being a homosexual. Mo Weiyi pondered for a while and concluded it was due to the relationship between Lu Chenyu and Chu Xiuhuang. Wondering if it was because she was thinking about someone elses gossip, the previously indifferent man suddenly turned his gaze in her direction. Mo Weiyi froze. The two girls beside her were silent. Thankfully, Lu Chenyu only looked once before moving away and getting into the elevator rapidly. He didnt say a word from the start to the end. Weiyi, was Lawyer Lu looking at you just now? A female classmate asked. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, Look at me? How could that be? I dont even know him. A graceful woman attracts a gentleman. Youre so pretty, Weiyi. Its only normal that he was looking at you! Exactly, he might pass you right away when he sees you at the interview later! Wow, youre so lucky to be noticed by Lawyer Lu! Really? Mo Weiyi curved her red lips, But Im not interested in him. Her classmates: So Proud? Chapter 622 - Chapter 622: 622, the Little Princess slaps with dominance Chapter 622: 622, the Little Princess slaps with dominance 10th floor. Lu Chenyu stepped out of the elevator and walked expressionlessly to his office. He set down his briefcase, pulled out a Nokia cell phone and dialed a number. Stop nagging, Im stuck in traffic! Chu Xiuhuangs impatient voice echoed from the other end of the call. Miss Mo is downstairs. What? Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly became louder. Miss Mo is downstairs. Lu Chenyu repeated emotionlessly. Why is the Little Princess there? I dont know. Lu Chenyu hung up after he said that. On the other end of the line, Chu Xiuhuang looked confused. Was this stingy fourth brother only willing to talk if he was paid? Would he die from saying a few more words? ** Teacher Hu. Downstairs, the receptionist walked over gracefully, striding like a model, You can go up and interview on the 9th floor, look for Lawyer Zhou. Okay, thank you. Mo Weiyi also stood up with her classmates. Just as they were waiting for the elevator, the doors to the adjacent descending elevator opened, and an annoying ghost stepped out. Miss Mo? Mo Weiyi looked at him impatiently. Was this guy a ghost? Why did he keep showing up everywhere? Yo, its you indeed? Ye Bei, carrying a briefcase, looked at Mo Weiyi with a surprised face. Every time he saw Mo Weiyi, she felt different. The first time they met, she was a sweet and beautiful little princess. After cutting her hair, she exuded an elegant and calm vibe. Last time at the racetrack, she was gallant, cute, and cheeky. This time shocked him even more, she was dressed in a tight-fitting, office lady-style professional attire. Thinking of her major, Ye Bei immediately asked, Are you here for an internship? Mo Weiyi was too lazy to respond to him. Just as the elevator arrived and she was about to step in, Ye Bei moved directly in front of her, blocking her way. Do you need something? Mo Weiyi was getting a little impatient. The class teacher standing nearby asked, Weiyi, is this your friend? No. Mo Weiyi answered quickly. Ye Bei was not insulted, I have a few words to say to Miss Mo, could you please give us a moment? The class teacher took a glance. This was the first floor, there were security guards and receptionists, and moreover, Mo Weiyis bodyguard was still sitting in the waiting area. He nodded, We are going up first, Ill put you at the end of the list, come up as soon as you finish talking. Alright, thank you, teacher. Youre welcome. After the group entered the elevator, Mo Weiyi immediately turned around, Come here, if you have something to say, say it quick, if you have to fart, let it out quick! Ye Bei: Such a domineering attitude? Alright then. He obediently followed her. Meanwhile, Rong An had already stood up, Princess. Its fine, I just have a few words to say to him. After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she put down her things, turned around and looked at Ye Bei, Go ahead, what is it? Miss Mo. Ye Bei pulled out a red invitation from his briefcase, smiled and handed it over, On the 15th of this month, I plan to hold a birthday banquet, and Id like to invite you and Yebai to attend. Mo Weiyi casually glanced at the invitation in his hand without taking it, Theres no need for that. Im preparing for an internship, and Im also busy with my thesis, this semester is very busy, Im afraid I wont have the time. Yebai also does not like attending such gatherings. Ye Beis hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face turned rigid, Miss Mo, do you really need to reject it this fast? What are you afraid of? I dont know what you mean by that, Mr. Ye. Heh. Ye Bei shoved the invitation back, Well, Yebai and I have been classmates for five years. There are only a handful of old classmates I met in Nancheng. I personally invited you to my birthday banquet. Wouldnt it be jarring if Miss Mo doesnt grace the occasion with her presence? Mo Weiyi laughed too, Mr. Ye, now that its out in the open, theres no harm in speaking the truth. The last time in the hospital, you had a disagreement with my husband. You both know very well the reason behind it. It was just a misunderstanding. If thats the case, then you can directly ask Xiaobai. If Xiaobai agrees, I will go. Mo Weiyi cocked her head and smiled, Is there anything else? If not, I have to go upstairs. Miss Mo. Ye Bei suddenly sneered, Stop putting up a front. Mr. Ye, what are you trying to say? Ye Bei squinted calculating eyes and sniggered, Your affair with Chu Xiuhuang has been exposed to the Nanchengs circle. To cover up for you, Young Master Chu even said that he suffers from ED and is impotent! My God, it seems that Young Master Chu is too tender-hearted and deeply in love with you. Mo Weiyis beautiful little face turned serious, Such a gossipy man! Last time you spoke behind my back to my husband about this, and I havent settled accounts with you! What are you up to? Miss Mo. Yet Ye Bei misunderstood her tone. He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and ambiguously said, I know, Yebai is indeed quite handsome and capable. But after all, hes just an adopted son of Mo Family, not a bona fide aristocrat. I cant understand; you are the heiress of the Mo Family, undoubtedly you can get any man you want, so why are you so devotedly into him? In fact, I understand Yebai very well, the reason he married you is just to gain the title of Mo Familys son-in-law and the position of president of Mo Group. After all, a poor boy from Tong Village might struggle his whole life to attain these things, which he easily got since Miss Mo liked him Now I understand why Tian Ye and you got along so well. Mo Weiyi suddenly interrupted him. Ye Bei paused. Because youre both alike, both of you love to gossip so badly! What did you say? Ye Beis face suddenly turned ugly. Xiaobai may not have the same background as you, and you grew up in a decent family, but so what? Dare you say, in what aspects are you superior to Xiaobai? Im too blind to see it, in fact, I dont even think youre qualified enough to tie Xiaobais shoes! Miss Mo. Ye Bei smiled unexpectedly, In reality, youre just toying with Yebai, arent you? There are rumors in the circle that Miss Mo is a real player; she has almost played around with all the wealthy young chaps in Nancheng, and after marrying Yebai, you both went your separate ways. Your marriage is both a business transaction. One is for the position of CEO of Mo Group and the other is for the family business needing a man to take the charge. Considering that, why cant you consider me? Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi almost burst out laughing. To be honest, this was the first time she had encountered a man so shamelessly smug! She even provocatively responded, Oh, why should I consider you? Lets hear it. Hearing this, a rush of joy flooded Ye Beis heart. Immediately he began his pitch, Firstly, although my Ye Family may not be as wealthy as your Mo Family, but in Nancheng, Ye Family still ranks within the top ten. If our families are united by marriage, this would be a strong alliance, benefiting both! Secondly, Yebai and I studied in the same field; my business abilities are definitely not inferior to his! Thirdly, my physical appearance isnt less appealing than Yebais at all, and even His voice became even more suggestive, My physique is far more robust than Yebais. In that matter, I am definitely more passionate, experienced, and skillful. You will have a different experience. Are you sureyou dont want to give it a try? Perhaps after you tried, you may find Yebai, a cold-hearted man, not suitable for you at all. You are a princess, how can you stoop so low? You should be treasured and held in high esteem by a man. Miss Mo, I The slap that followed cut him off midsentence. Ye Bei clutched his face, in such shock that it took ages for him to regain his senses. This was the first time he had been slapped by a woman. And it had occurred in the law firms ground floor lobby. The sound was loud enough for the girl at the front desk and some clients to turn around and look. And even Rong An got up and hurried over. But Ye Bei was furious. He touched his cheek, which had turned somewhat numb from the slap. His face turned fierce, and his voice trembled with anger, How dare you hit me? Mo Weiyi high up her proud chin, What about hitting you? Cant I? Do I have to pick a good date to hit you? A stream of rebuttals left Ye Bei speechless. You What are you? Mo Weiyi broke him off again, Youve got a dirty mouth! Shameless! Despicable! Poor Xiaobai, he considers you a friend. And last time when you got beaten up at the hospital, I just thought it was Xiaobai being hot-tempered. I never imagined youd be so disgusting! Behind your friends back, youre trying to seduce his wife, who gives you the gall to flirt with me? Do you actually believe that I would be interested in you? Why dont you piss off and check yourself? With that pig-headed face of yours, so greasy and disgusting that I feel like throwing up upon seeing it! And you say your body is better than Xiaobais? Psh! Are you even in the same league as Xiaobai? Xiaobai is a hundred times, ten thousand times better than you! Chapter 623 - Chapter 623: 623, first get past my bodyguard before anything else. Chapter 623: 623, first get past my bodyguard before anything else. A string of swear words left Ye Bei somewhat dumbfounded. Holy shit! Wasnt this Little Princess of the Mo Family supposedly a high-class, wealthy lady? Wasnt she a renowned socialite from an upscale family? Wasnt she supposed to be extremely elegant? How could she effortlessly utter such crude obscenities? Mo Weiyis voice rang out again, By the way, I know Tian Ye and you dated for several years before breaking up. Ive always wondered how a disgusting and greasy man like you held on for so long. Was she blinded, had her heart clouded by lard? Or was it because you are rich that she stayed with you? Out of the mouth comes evil, but to the listeners heart. Ye Bei had indeed questioned this at times recently. Because throughout their relationship, Tian Ye didnt seem to care for him much. He treated her well and spent a lot of money on her. Her family wasnt well off, and she spent most of her time outside of class washing dishes in a restaurant. He was quite chauvinistic, so he didnt mind spending tens of thousands on her. But when he later found out that Tian Ye had an interest in Xiao Yebai early on, Ye Bei was upset. Meaning, while he was under the impression that their feelings for each other were mutual and willingly spent money on her, his head was actually being played for a fool by her! How could any man tolerate this? Step aside, good dogs dont block the way! Ye Bei came back to his senses just in time to see Mo Weiyi getting ready to leave, he quickly reached out to stop her. But just as he touched the fabric on her sleeve, before he could even grab her arm, Mo Weiyi swung back with a slap. Mo Weiyi believed she had a good temper, but that was dependent on who it was directed at. And when it came to Ye Bei, she had no intention of being polite. Get lost! Ye Beis face flushed with embarrassment. Having been slapped twice in a row by a young woman in her twenties, being berated continuously, and now being told to get lost? He stared at Mo Weiyi standing in front of him. Although she was shorter than him, she held her chin high, her pretty little face overflowing with pride, and her eyes filled with contempt and disdain. How could he tolerate this? Ye Bei suddenly raised his hand, attempting to hit her. Mo Weiyi did not dodge it. Because his hand would never be able to reach her. Indeed, within a split second, Rong An rushed forth like lightning and grabbed Ye Beis arm before throwing him out. He was trained in martial arts and didnt hold back at all. Ye Bei was tossed onto a bench in the waiting area, causing a loud clang before his body rebounded and hit the tile floor. Ah! Ye Bei let out a cry of pain. He could only feel as if his scapula was about to split open from the impact, followed by numb pain. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyesight became speckled with stars. Before he could recovered, his collar was tightened abruptly, and a fist came flying at him. Rong An punched with ferocity. The first punch caused blood to flow from Ye Beis nose and the corner of his mouth. Another punch, and his eye was dislocated. Just like that, several more punches landed until Mo Weiyi spoke up. Thats enough, dont dirty the floor of this law firm. Rong An pulled back his fist, stood up, and threw Ye Bei onto the ground once more. Ye Bei felt another wave of pain in his back. He lay there, merely groaning. He had no strength to get up. His surroundings were covered in a shocking streak of blood. The tiles of the law firm were light in color. A quick glance gave an alarming sight, as if a murder had just occurred. The clients and the staff of the law firm were stunned. No one dared to speak. Mo Weiyi checked her watch, preparing to go upstairs. However, Ye Bei began to yell again, Mo Weiyi, you dare let your bodyguard hit me! I wont let you off! Rong Ans eyes narrowed sharply. Mo Weiyi halted, turned around, and looked at him. Blood covered the mans face and head, his nose was skewed and his face swollen, and his eyes were filled with rage and resentment. Okay. Mo Weiyi smirked arrogantly, accentuating her red lips, First prove that you can beat my bodyguard, otherwise, Im afraid you wont even get a chance to see me in the future. Ye Bei was so furious he felt like spitting blood. He was both in pain and humiliated. In Nancheng, he was part of a respectable family and was seen as the shining, respectable image of the Ye Family as the young master. Even today, he was representing Yes company in dealing with legal matters at the law firm, and several subordinates from Yes were with him. And here he was, beaten to this state, brought to such an embarrassing point, all under their watchful eyes, yet they didnt dare to utter a word. Ye Beis chest heaved dramatically as he was about to speak again when suddenly, a brash voice rang out. Oh, whats going on here? Little Princess, are you letting your bodyguard bully others again? Chu Xiuhuang strutted in with a thin-lipped smile, a cigarette half-burned in one hand, the other casually resting in his pocket, squinting his eyes, with his long legs taking audacious strides. Mo Weiyi smiled at him, her amusement deepening, Mr. Chu, Rong An has been teaching this impudent fellow a lesson for you, dont you think you should thank me? Oh? What do you mean? Chu Xiuhuang towered over Ye Bei, looking down at him. Ye Bei flinched under his gaze. Who in Nancheng didnt know about Chu Xiuhuang? The leading figure of Nanchengs princely party, who never shied away from stirring up trouble, only because of his strong connections with the Chu Family and several other large families, right? Also, the fact that he was good friends with Lu Chenyu from this law firm, any problem could be turned around by just one word from Chenyu. Even a dead man could be made alive, and black could be made into white. Compared to Xiao Yebai, Chu Xiuhuang was indeed the true favoured one, one who few dared to offend. What if Ye Beis fear was soon confirmed as Mo Weiyi began to speak, Earlier he came up to me saying that you, in order to court me, colluded with a doctor and pretended to have Erectile Dysfunction. He also said you cheated the public, that in private youve had many improper relations with numerous women, accused you of being a womanizer, a gambler, and that the women youve been with could form a line from the city centre of Nancheng to the sixth ring What the fuck! Chu Xiuhuang, with his hot temperament, was indeed not pleased upon hearing this and instantly kicked Ye Bei. Ah! Ye Bei screamed in pain. Who the hell do you think you are? Im a womanizer? Im lewd? So you even know that I like to gamble? Did the women I slept with snitch on me? Do you enjoy running your mouth that much? With every indignation he voiced, Chu Xiuhuang landed a kick on Ye Bei. And with every kick, Ye Bei was made to howl in agony. That sound, even Mo Weiyi winced to hear it. After all, Ye Bei had already been beaten so badly by Rong An before this. Chu Xiuhuang, though not as skilful as Rong An, had also trained in some sort of combat sport, hadnt he? And unlike Rong An, Chu Xiuhuang had his status and reputation. He really didnt care about causing a scene, and this Ye Bei didnt dare to retaliate. Mo Weiyi had to admit, she had used Chu Xiuhuang a bit in this situation. Chu Xiuhuang continued his torrent of kicks for a while and finally, graciously withdrew, Have his manhood crushed! Mo Weiyi faltered upon hearing the words. Uh, have his manhood crushed? Two bodyguards in black suits came over from the side. Ye Beis face turned pale with fear. He truly believed that Chu Xiuhuang would do as he said! And those two brutish bodyguards didnt hesitate to lift him and take him outside. Overwhelmed with fear, Ye Bei couldnt hold back any longer and screamed, Miss Mo, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, could you spare me this time? Miss Mo, Miss Mo Mo Weiyi furrowed her delicate brows, So, you know you were wrong? Do you know where you went wrong? A look of embarrassment crossed Ye Beis face. Seeing him silent, Chu Xiuhuang grew impatient, sneered and snapped, You went mute? Didnt you say you know you were wrong? Well, spit it out! Ye Beis heart pounded in fear. Having grown up in a privileged family, he had developed a rather self-centric personality. But facing Chu Xiuhuang, a figure of terror, no matter how upset, he didnt dare to offend him. Since youre clueless about your mistake, let me help you out. Have your manhood crushed. This way, youll never harass a woman again, and perhaps then youll realize where you went wrong, The moment Chu Xiuhuang finished his words, Ye Bei screamed out immediately, I was wrong! I wont dare to do it anymore. Miss Mo, we are and were your husbands classmates, do you really need to act so ruthlessly? Mo Weiyi laughed coldly, When you told me earlier that you wanted to sleep with me, boasting about how experienced and skilful you were, did you consider me as your classmates wife then? Ye Bei was left speechless. The onlookers gasped. Chapter 624 - Chapter 624: 624, Weiyi was the only one hired by the law firm! Chapter 624: 624, Weiyi was the only one hired by the law firm! As for Chu Xiuhuang. Fuck! Enraged, he gave another hefty kick, Fucking hell, you have the nerve to say that to the Little Princess? Why dont you piss and take a look at yourself? You think youre good enough? Youre worse than an animal! I was wrong, I really was. Ye Bei was prideful, but his pride was not as important as his manhood. Even under attack, he begged for mercy, Miss Mo, I realize my mistake. I shouldnt have said those rotten words. Please, think of it as if I was half asleep. I said the wrong thing, you shouldnt take it to heart. But its already in my heart, and its uncomfortable. What should I do now? Ye Bei was left speechless. I asked you a question. What should we do if the Little Princess feels uncomfortable? Chu Xiuhuang then kicked him again. These continuous kicks in the same spot caused Ye Bei to grit his teeth in pain. But it seemed as if the attacker was addicted to the pain. Ye Bei had to plead with him, I now know I was wrong, Miss Mo. You are generous, please forgive me this once. To apologize sincerely, let me give you two options, Chu Xiuhuang finally withdrew his leg, flicking his smoldering cigarette into the rubbish bin nearby, First option, kneel down and apologize to the Little Princess. Second, slap your own face and admit your mistake. Choose one. An expression of utmost humiliation crossed Ye Beis bruised and battered face. Male pride was like gold, how could he possibly bring himself to do those things in public? But slapping himself in the face wouldnt be much better. Mr. Chu Ye Bei tried to speak, I have already admitted my mistake, saying those things was wrong of me, but why do you need to Chu Xiuhuang immediately interrupted him, irritated, You two, hurry up and take him out. After castrating him, throw him to the police With a snap, Ye Bei slapped himself directly in the face. His face was already battered and bruised, and this slap only made it worse. Despite the pain, he was quick to apologize, Is it okay now? Just one slap? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes and stared intently at him. Humiliated yet desperate, Ye Bei raised his hand and gave himself a second slap. Afraid that Chu Xiuhuang was still unsatisfied, he immediately turned to Mo Weiyi, Miss Mo, please forgive me this once. I promise I wont ever offend you again. Mo Weiyi looked at his face and was repulsed. She turned away coldly, picked up her stuff, and left. Miss Mo Havent you left yet? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted coldly. Ye Bei immediately turned around and fled. The staff watched their young master leave and followed suit. Outside, Ye Bei caught up with their vehicle. A subordinate immediately took out his phone, Master, should I report to the police now Before he could finish, Ye Bei snatched the phone from his hand and threw it onto the highway. A car passed by, crushing the phone. The phone was broken. What was that, enjoying the show while I was being beaten? Now proposing to report it to the police? Do you think Ive been humiliated enough? The subordinate didnt dare to speak, and the others kept their heads down. The next second. What the fuck are you standing there for? Call 120, call an ambulance! ** At Yurui Law Firm. As Mo Weiyi entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 9th floor, Chu Xiuhuang slipped in. He smiled teasingly, Twice now, isnt it? Little Princess, Ive saved you twice, but you didnt even thank me. You just ran away? Mo Weiyi shot him an annoyed look, Are you sure you were really saving me? Chu Xiuhuang continued grinning, Even if it wasnt the case the first time, it definitely was this time, right? Mo Weiyi responded with a bright smile, Alright then, someday, Ill send you a bouquet of flowers to thank you. Then Ill need 999 roses. After all, we have to return the favor, right? Chu Xiuhuang recalled that he had sent her three bouquets of 999 roses each. No, Mo Weiyi scowled, I only give roses to Xiaobai. Chu Xiuhuang: Besides, isnt Huanhuan your girlfriend? If I send you roses, wouldnt she get jealous? Mo Weiyi asked casually, unsure of the relationship between Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan. Chu Xiuhuang only ended up laughing harder, If Xiaohuan gets jealous due to that, wouldnt that be perfect? Mo Weiyi was left speechless. Do these two have something going on? So, Little Princess, what brings you here? Youre not here to apply for an internship, are you? Chu Xiuhuang remarked, noting her professional attire. Tsk tsk, she was dressed in a full suit and looked as though she meant business. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, If I dont get the job, Im blaming you! What the hell, what did I do? Mo Weiyi argued seriously, Originally, after my bodyguard finished dealing with the guy, I was ready to go up for the interview. But then you had to ramble on and waste so much time. I was late and I left a bad impression on Attorney Zhou. Why would they want to hire me now? Oh wow, so now its my fault? I help you and end up being blamed for it? Mo Weiyi hugged her bag tightly, her smile sweet and harmless, Right! Chu Xiuhuang yet again: ** In the afternoon, at Nancheng University. Mo Weiyi got to class and as soon as she sat down, the class monitor approached her. Weiyi, Mr. Wu said youve been accepted into Yurui Law Firm. Eh? Really? Mo Weiyi was overjoyed. Who else got in besides me? No one else, only you were accepted. Ehm Mo Weiyi was stunned. It wasnt that she was being excessively self-deprecating, it was just that For the past two years, she barely studied. The day of the interview was merely a tryout, considering she was not as academically competent as the other two girls. She glanced over and sure enough, those two girls sitting together looked thoroughly displeased. After the class monitor left, the girls got up and followed him. Class monitor, what exactly happened? Right, during the morning interview, Lawyer Zhou seemed genuinely satisfied with me. Me too, my uncle even works at Yurui! Hes the one who suggested I go for the interview! The class monitor cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses earnestly. Mr. Wu said that Lawyer Zhou was quite satisfied with all three of you, but ultimately, only Mo Weiyi was approved by Lu Chenyu. For what reason! One rather impulsive girl couldnt help herself. She barely attends classes, and her professional knowledge is all messed up. Is it just because shes pretty? It must be! As I said, that day Lawyer Lu deliberately gave her a glance. I didnt expect Lawyer Lu to be that shallow! Im withdrawing my fanhood! All men are pigs! Class monitor: No matter how upset these two girls were, anyway, Mo Weiyi was genuinely happy. Of course, she wasnt silly and promptly called Chu Xiuhuang. Young Master Chu, thank you so much for the internship opportunity. Oh, you found out already? Chu Xiuhuang chuckled on the other end of the line. Looks like the Little Princess isnt that na?ve. Mo Weiyi responded, Who doesnt know that Lu Chenyu and you are good bros? Without your help, there would have been no way for me to get into Yurui. Didnt expect the Little Princess to have such self-awareness. Heh. Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes. From now on, youll be working under my fourth brother. Ill arrange everything, so Little Princess, how will you thank me? Mo Weiyi bit her lip. Soon, Ill have someone deliver roses to your company. Theyre just yellow roses though. A symbol of friendship! Chu Xiuhuang gave her roses for two days straight, without any note, so she also wont attach any note. OK, Ill be waiting. After hanging up the call, Chu Xiuhuang made another call. The call was quickly answered and Lu Chenyus icy voice came through. What is it? What attitude? Cant you be a bit more enthusiastic when your big brother calls you? Lu Chenyu remained silent. Right. Ever since he started his career, Lu Chenyu has been an ace attorney. Hes surrounded by assistants, never had an apprentice. And now, suddenly hes taken on an apprenticea delicate young woman, no less. He could almost envision someones gloomy future. However. Chu Xiuhuang quickly remarked, Dont worry about it. Little Princess probably just had a whim. Shell probably get bored after a couple of days of internship and want to quit. Lu Chenyu responded, Alright. Anyway, just do what you have to do. Im only helping her out of a favor. Oh. Lu Chenyu coldly responded and ended the call. Chu Xiuhuang didnt bother with him. This guy has always been a man of few words. At first, he thought it was because he spoke too much at the court or for official business, and therefore didnt like to chat in private. Only later did he realize it was because he was stingy! A skinflint! Wouldnt give you the steam off his rice! Chapter 625 - Chapter 625: 624, Drunk driving accident Chapter 625: 624, Drunk driving accident It was a little past three in the afternoon. Wow, so many roses for Mr. Chu! Ive always seen Mr. Chu giving roses to women, I didnt expect women to send roses to Mr. Chu! It just proves our Mr. Chu is quite charming! But, why yellow roses? Yeah In the secretarys office, Shi Huan couldnt help but frown. Which socialite could this be? She was so bold and enthusiastic to actively pursue Mr. Chu? And she seemed to be quite wealthy. Although there were women who took the initiative to court Mr. Chu in the past, at most they would ask her to arrange a date for them. Such a grand act of buying 999 roses and pursuing someone by splurging money was unheard of. Who could it be? Not long after, Chu Xiuhuang came to the secretarys office. Mr. Chu. Shi Huan quickly stood up. Chu Xiuhuang leaned against the door, hands in his suit trouser pockets, squinting at her in an incredibly seductive manner, Little Huanhuan, get some people to tidy up the roses in my office. What exactly does Mr. Chu mean? Sigh, I told her not to send anymore, yet she insisted, even sent the wrong ones, sent 999 yellow roses. Shi Huan: Chu Xiuhuang: What on earth would I do with so many roses? Get some people and distribute them among the female colleagues in the company. Alright. After Chu Xiuhang finished speaking, he turned and left. The assistant then happily said, Wow, we get to have free roses again. Last time they were Shis sisters, this time theyre Mr. Chus. Shi Huan again: ** Mo Weiyi sent Chu Xiuhuang 999 yellow roses for two days. Just right to return the two batches of 999 roses Chu Xiuhuang sent her previously. And so, the female employees of Huangyou Group enjoyed two days of free roses. Until the third day, when finally no roses were delivered. Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didnt have to busy herself with sorting and distributing roses every day. * * * * Xiaobai Xiaobai, how do I look in this? Is it nice? Lishui Bay Villa. Late at night, when Xiao Yebai just got home and entered the bedroom, he saw his wife standing in front of the mirror admiring herself in a dark blue business suit. The dark blue blazer and matching short skirt, the hem of the skirt at her knees, revealing her slim and straight legs underneath. Turning around, she was wearing a white printed blouse under the blazer, with a delicate chain hanging around her neck. Her deep, oceanic waves of hair spilled over her shoulders, her face already removed of makeup, now looking at him earnestly. Going for an internship tomorrow? Xiao Yebai asked. Yes, Ive been accepted by the law firm. I have no classes tomorrow, I can go to report in. After Mo Weiyi finished explaining, she took the car key from his hand and put it aside, Come on, tell me, hows this outfit? Does it look good? It looks good. Xiao Yebai said in a casual tone. So indifferent. You should say, my wife is the prettiest, my wife is the most beautiful, my wife looks good in anything! Xiao Yebai: Ignoring his reaction, Mo Weiyi turned back to the mirror, From tomorrow on, Ill be interning at the law firm whenever I dont have classes. So Xiaobai, remember to wake me up when you get up tomorrow. Hmm. Xiao Yebai hummed in response, took off his wristwatch and put it on the table, undid the tie of his shirt, and unbuttoned the sleeves, I am going to take a bath. Mo Weiyi suddenly said, I havent had one either. Xiao Yebais movement momentarily paused. Under the dim light, his refined and handsome face showed no expression, but he said, Together. Mo Weiyi couldnt help grinning a little sneakily, Then you have to carry me. Xiao Yebai came up to her, his tone still serious and calm, Why should I carry you? The smile at the corner of Mo Weiyis mouth froze, Then will you carry me or not? Really! Hes clearly doing it on purpose. The handsome mans thin lips twitched barely noticeably, Dressed like this, how can I carry you. Mo Weiyis reaction: What a little pervert! Xiao Yebai went silent, standing before her, looking down at her with a king-like demeanor. The young and beautiful girl opened her clear, cat-like eyes. She was only dressed in a white shirt and a dark blue knee-length skirt. Half of the bottom of her shirt was tucked into her skirt, while the other half had been pulled out by him. This, coupled with the pure innocence on her face, gave off a certain schoolgirl allure. Xiao Yebai raised his finger, When did you buy this clothes? Just a couple of days ago, Huanhuan and I bought them together. Dont you think they suit me wonderfully? Mo Weiyi smiled, I bought several pieces. Do you want me to try them all on for you? There are other colors too, just wait a second Saying this, she turned around to go fetch the clothes, but she was stopped by him. In a soft voice, Xiao Yebai said, Arent you going to take a bath? Theres no rush. We can bathe later, Mo Weiyi replied, but Xiao Yebai didnt let go of her. Looking at the mans expression, she couldnt help but smile, Xiaobai, what mischief are you thinking about? Xiao Yebai didnt deny it, Hmm. He was indeed thinking up mischief. Mo Weiyi was taken aback. Hmm, what hmm? Really now. However, it had indeed been a few days since they spent time together. Aside from New Years Eve, he had been hospitalized for treatment for a while. Once he was discharged, he had to return to work. The beginning of the year is always a busy time. He would come home late due to work, and Mo Weiyi was also busy with classes and preparation for her internship. So, she said, I want to be held like a princess. Xiao Yebai hooked his lips up in a smile, then scooped her up in his arms. However The cell phone suddenly rang at that moment. It was already past nine in the evening. Mo Weiyi wrinkled her little nose, Ill answer the call, you go ahead and start the water for the bath. Xiao Yebai could only put her down and step into the bathroom. Not much later, Mo Weiyis voice rose in surprise, What did you say? How did this happen? ** Half an hour later, at Nangong Hospital. The operating room lights were still on. When Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai arrived, their driver Xiaoli rushed over, Young Master Xiao, Princess, its all my fault Mo Weiyi interrupted him, What exactly happened? How did my father end up in a car accident? Xiaoli hurriedly said, Mr Mo had too much to drink tonight. I was supposed to drive him back to the old house, but on the way, he told me to buy cigarettes. When I got out of the car, he drove it himself and crashed into the roadside barrier. Mo Weiyi: He got into a car accident because he was drunk? And he was even drunk driving? Thats too much! Xiao Yebai frowned, What did the doctor say? Theyre still trying to save him, Xiaoli didnt dare to say more. Dont tell my grandfather yet, Mo Weiyi quickly said. I understand. The health of the old gentleman of the Mo family was not good. Otherwise, he would not have called the princess in the middle of the night. It was already 10 oclock. Mo Weiyi waited helplessly outside. About half an hour later, the lights in the operating room finally turned off. The doctor and a group of nurses came out. Mo Weiyi quickly stood up, Doctor, how is my father doing? Xiao Yebai also followed. Looking at the young man and woman in front of him, the doctor said, He has multiple abrasions all over his body and a slight leg fracture. The situation is not serious. The operation was quite successful. He should recover after some rest. Mo Weiyi was immediately relieved. Mo Yaoxiong was quickly wheeled out. His forehead was bandaged, and there were noticeable injuries on his arm and leg. Mo Weiyi could not help feeling both anger and pity. After being taken to the ward, in order not to startle the old man, Xiao Yebai arranged for a few caregivers in the hospital to take care of Mo Yaoxiong. The anesthesia would last a few more hours. After the two watched over him in the hospital for a while, they decided to go home and wait once the nurse arrived. Outside the ward, Xiaoli was still waiting. You can go back first, Mo Weiyi said. Thank you, princess. Xiaoli sighed in relief, Then Ill go first. Just as he was about to leave. Xiaoli. Xiaoli stopped in his tracks and looked at the handsome man, Young Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai looked at him, Where and with whom did Mr. Mo drink? Mo Weiyi froze. Xiaoli quickly replied, Mr. Mo had booked a room at Dihong. He was alone. Even Mo Weiyi was surprised this time, Alone? Why would my dad drink alone? And he got so drunk that he crashed his car into a roadside barrier? Xiaoli kept silent. Chapter 626 - Chapter 626: 625, Straight Guy Xiaobai Chapter 626: 625, Straight Guy Xiaobai In fact, Mo Yaoxiong had been spending every day drinking lately. As a driver, Xiaoli couldnt say anything about it, just dutifully driving him to and fro. Little did he know that there would be an accident that night. What exactly happened? Mo Weiyi asked anxiously. Xiaoli said, Im not exactly sure, Mr. Mo has been keen on drinking alone these recent days. What? Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, then grabbed Mo Weiyis arm, Its already late, lets go home and discuss this tomorrow after Dad wakes up. Mo Weiyi was extremely worried, but there was nothing she could do at the moment except to agree. After all this, who would be in the mood for anything else? Upon returning home, she hastily washed up and went to bed. Early the next morning, before seven oclock, the hospital called to say that their father had awakened. Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai hurried back to the hospital. Upon entering the hospital room, they found the doctor examining Mo Yaoxiong. Mo Yaoxiong was lying there, looking disheveled and distressed. After the doctor finished his examination and gave them some advice, Mo Weiyi walked over to the bed and asked, Dad, is anything bothering you recently? Why have you been going out and drinking alone every day? Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, Nothing happened, I just accidentally drank too much last night. I know you like to drink, but arent you getting old? Didnt the doctor say you have high blood pressure? And yet youre still being so reckless? You know, when I received a call in the middle of the night saying that youd been in a car accident, it nearly scared me to death! Mo Yaoxiong pulled a face, But isnt everything fine now? What are you talking about, your leg has a fracture! After saying this, Mo Weiyi looked at his bandaged leg, her voice unintentionally softened, Does it hurt? Its manageable. Xiao Yebai stood to one side, listening to their conversation, without interrupting. They stayed at the hospital until nearly eight oclock. They only left after Aunt Zhou brought breakfast. Watching the young couple leaving, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply. Ever since hed spent a night with Xu Jing, hed felt uneasy. People say that if youve done something wrong, youd have a guilty conscience. Considering that Xu Xians death anniversary had just passed recently, Mo Yaoxiong was restless every night, struggling with insomnia and nearly driven to the brink of collapse. Dulling his senses with alcohol seemed to be the most convenient and quickest method, who knew that it would result in Sir, the doctor said that your injuries are all external, you can continue to eat as usual. Ive made some bone soup at home, if you want to eat anything else just let me know, and Ill make it for you at noon, Aunt Zhou said. Mo Yaoxiong asked, Does the old man know about this? Mr. Xiao told me not to tell him for now, fearing that it might harm his heart. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, Yebai is thoughtful. Aunt Zhou laughed, Mr. Xiao cares about you a lot. He didnt go home until after eleven last night, but he was back at the hospital before seven this morning. He also specifically told me to take good care of you. Mo Yaoxiong continued to nod. ** My father is so childish. Hes no longer young, yet he behaves like a young man. Hes so fond of excessive drinking because no one has been supervising him. If my mother were still alive, he definitely wouldnt dare behave this way In the car, Mo Weiyi grumbled on and on. It was obvious that while she was complaining, she was genuinely concerned about Mo Yaoxiong. Looking at the time, it was already past eight oclock, Xiaobai, can you drop me off at the law firm first? Today was her first day interning at the law firm. As per the agreement, she should report by nine in the morning, and she certainly didnt want to be late. That Lu Chenyu, despite being effeminate, should still be quite strict. Moreover, he was good friends with Chu Xiuhuang. Mo Weiyi didnt want to leave a bad impression on her first day of internship. Xiao Yebai said, Lets have breakfast first. Oh, but were almost late. Xiao Yebai glanced at her, Will you join me, eat or not? Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, cat-like eyes, then said, Ill have a little with you then. Xiao Yebai gave her a faint smile, then drove her to a reputable breakfast chain near the law firm and parked outside. The two of them rarely had breakfast together outside at such an early hour. Mo Weiyi was wearing the dark blue professional suit she had tried on the night before. The weather in early March was still chilly, so she had put on a long, dark coffee-colored coat and a thin scarf. Once they got out of the car, she strutted in her slender high-heels, the bare, fair stretch of her ankle visible as she nonchalantly held hands with the tall and aloof man, entering the store. The place was packed, mostly with office workers from nearby. This area was filled with office buildings. In addition to the ten-story Yurui Lawyer Building, there were banks, securities exchanges, and the like, so the people having breakfast here were all dressed professionally. Mo Weiyi suddenly felt a sense of pride. She was becoming one of them! From now on, she too would be a member of society! They ordered some breakfast items. As Mo Weiyi glanced at the time, she began eating quickly. Xiao Yebai watched her, a smile gleaming in his eyes. After finishing her bowl of mini wonton soup, Mo Weiyi said, Im done! Xiao Yebai grunted in response. He had not yet finished his meal. Mo Weiyi gave him a look, Im going to the restroom first. She felt that something was a bit off. Mhm. Mo Weiyi picked up her bag and left. She sat down on the toilet and took off her pants to check. As expected. Her intuition was fairly accurate; her period had come. It even stained her panties a bit. Mo Weiyi was really embarrassed and had no choice but to pull out her phone to call Xiao Yebai. Hearing about this, the mans voice was still calm and composed, only saying, Ill go buy it for you. Mhm. After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi just sat there waiting. She had asked Xiao Yebai to buy such items for her before. The first time, she was somewhat embarrassed. A cold and unemotional man buying such effeminate feminine products. But after a few times, she got used to it. Xiao Yebai was always cold and aloof, but he hardly ever denied her requests. About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the bathroom door. A gentle womans voice asked, Excuse me, is this Ms. Mo? Yes, it is! This is something a gentleman asked me to give you. Thank you. Mo Weiyi accepted the black bag that slipped through the door crack and took a quick glance at the woman. She was wearing a black coat with neatly styled black hair, light makeup, and surprisingly pretty. The woman seemed slightly taken aback upon seeing her. Closing the door back, Mo Weiyi opened the bag. Inside, in addition to a package of pink sanitary pads, there was also a pair of pink panties. Mo Weiyi coughed. This straight boy Xiaobai! Just how much does he love the color pink? Nearly everything he bought for her was pink; how frustrating! ** When Mo Weiyi finished cleaning up and returned to the restaurant. She instantly noticed Xiao Yebai still sitting in his original spot, however There was an additional woman seated across him. It was the woman who had just delivered her bag. Wait, they were chatting now? Mo Weiyi quickly walked over. The seating of Xiao Yebai faced the inside of the restaurant. Seeing her, he immediately got up, Lets go. Mo Weiyi initially wanted to say something, but seeing him like this, she pressed her lips together, took another glance at the woman, then followed him out. Once they got outside. Whos that woman? Mo Weiyi couldnt resist asking. Which woman? Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly. The one that was sitting across from you, chatting with you! Mo Weiyi was furious, this jerk, daring to play dumb. Xiao Yebai looked at her, We didnt chat. Then why was she sitting across from you? The sanitary pads were delivered by her. Just a random person I found, Xiao Yebai explained. Random? Random person he found was a woman? And she was pretty good-looking too? Xiao Yebai started talking again, Its 8:55. Oh no! Mo Weiyi immediately stopped asking, Im going to be late, I have to go, bye! She turned around and sprinted towards the lawyers building several hundred meters away. Her long hair wildly fluttered in the wind as she dashed. Where was the elegant little princess she usually was? Xiao Yebai stood there, his thin lips twitching a smile. He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Rong An, the princess works at Yuruis. Mhm. After hanging up, he walked to the side of the road, quickly got in his car and left. After the black Bentley drove away, a woman in black stood outside the breakfast shop. Lu Qingtians gaze was still somewhat unfocused. When she had just walked into the breakfast shop, all the seats were taken, except for one table which was empty apart from a ladys coffee-colored coat resting on the bench. Chapter 627 - Chapter 627: 627, its hard to imagine Xiao Yebai washing dishes. Chapter 627: 627, its hard to imagine Xiao Yebai washing dishes. She could only sit there, and to her surprise, Xiao Yebai appeared after breakfast, asking her to help deliver a bag to a Miss Mo in the restroom. So, were these two a couple? But this man was so indifferent. When she was sitting there earlier, she thought that since she helped him, hed be a bit more polite to her, right? Unexpectedly, he merely said thank you, then sat there without speaking. Wearing a black coat, thin-framed glasses, meticulously trimmed hair, a handsome and cultured profile, his whole body seemed to radiate an inviolable aloofness. After she said a few words, she felt too embarrassed to initiate conversation again. But she didnt expect that when the girl came over, Xiao Yebai immediately stood up and helped her put on her coat, and they even left hand in hand. Once outside, he let the girl cling all over him, indulging and affectionate. Lu Qingtian furrowed her brows and turned to walk towards the law firm. ** Upon reaching the 10th floor, she took a seat. Two assistants beside her were whispering. Lu Qingtian frowned, What are you two chatting about? Gossiping instead of working early in the morning! An assistant immediately said, Sister Lu, you dont know yet? Our Lawyer Lu has taken an apprentice! Yeah, and shes a beauty! What? Lu Qingtian frowned. Lu Chenyu was their boss, and also the top-tier lawyer in Nancheng. He came from a good family, was handsome, and generally quiet, possessing a powerful aura. After all, the background of the Lu family was clear. It was something they could neither covet nor offend. The people Lu Chenyu interacted with were all sons of high society. In the law firm, he was always reserved and aloof, never engaging in anything beyond work-related conversations. Let alone accepting an intern as an apprentice. His assistant has always been a 40-year-old man named Wang, who has been consistently reliable and experienced over many years. This demonstrated that Lu Chenyu was serious about his work and extremely discerning. As his subordinates, they all highly respected their work and dared not act improperly in his presence. Yet, such a man has taken a beautiful intern as his apprentice? Vexing. Truly vexing. However, when the conference room door opened and the HR Director walked out with a familiar figure, Lu Qingtian was taken aback. It was The girl she had met at the breakfast store! She was dressed in a dark blue professional outfit, smiling and listening to HR talk, and her assigned workstation was in the same room as Old Wangs. Lu Qingtian furrowed her brow. Wow, shes really pretty! She looks like a doll! I heard from Xiaoli downstairs when she came for the interview! I didnt expect shed really be hired! I cant believe our Lu has fallen for her! She truly is gorgeous, which man wouldnt fall for her? So, are we getting a madam? Stop chatting! Lu Qingtian interrupted impatiently, Have you prepared the documents that I asked for yesterday? The two assistants stuck out their tongues, and hastily got back to work. In a law firm dominated by men, it wasnt easy for Lu Qingtian to get to her position, especially with her being attractive. She had always been considered a flower in the firm, but now a younger and prettier one had arrived. Lu Qingtian thought of the intimate demeanour of the two in the breakfast shop earlier, her delicate eyebrows involuntarily furrowed. ** Miss Mo, this is Mr. Wang, just call me Weiyi, Mo Weiyi quickly said. Old Wang pushed his glasses up and nodded, Weiyi, this is our work code and regulations, this is an introduction to our law firm, these are the cases weve been handling in the recent months, and here are the media reports about our firm over the past few years, and these Old Wang spoke as he dropped a file folder. Soon, Mo Weiyis desk was piled up with folders like a small mountain. Go over these materials first, get familiar with them and if you have any questions, ask me. Okay. Mo Weiyi looked at the mound of materials, guessing she would need an eternity to go through them. Also, Lawyer Lu comes to the office at 10 in the morning and leaves at 4 in the afternoon. During this period, you cant slack off. If he sees it, hell punish you. Okay. After saying this, Old Wang returned to his work. Mo Weiyi sat there, opened the Work Code and Regulations of Yurui Law Firm and started reading. ** At 10 in the morning, as expected, Lu Chenyu came to the office on time. He was still carrying a black briefcase, wearing black clothes, sporting black thin-frame glasses, and looking completely absorbed in a gayish unperturbed manner. Mo Weiyi had just shifted her gaze when she saw Mr. Wang promptly stood up and followed Lu Chenyu into his office. Not long after, he came out holding a deep blue thermos and went into the tea room nearby. Mo Weiyi: About ten minutes later, Mr. Wang finally comes back, sitting in his chair, patting his chest, all out of breath yet looking rather triumphant. Seeing Mo Weiyi watching him curiously, Mr. Wang responded with a proud smile, Cant help it, Lawyer Lu only drinks the tea I make. Mo Weiyi blinked her brilliant round eyes, Oh. ** Lunch break was from eleven-thirty till one-thirty. When the time came, everyone left for lunch. Mo Weiyi put down her documents and rubbed her tired eyes. This was the first time in her life that she had to look at so much incomprehensible material for so long. Added to the fact that she hadnt slept well the night before and she was cramping from her period, she was honestly feeling quite overwhelmed. Her phone on the desk rang, so she picked it up and answered. Rong An. Princess, shall we eat downstairs or should I buy and bring it to you? Mo Weiyi said, Lets go downstairs, wait for me. Okay. She didnt want to spend her two-hour lunch break stuck in the office staring at this boring pile of documents. She put on her coat, picked up her handbag, and left. Outside, a few people were still waiting for the elevator. Mo Weiyi noticed a familiar face. The woman from the breakfast shop this morning? Is she a lawyer here too? Lu Qingtian looked at her, nodded her head, and the two assistants by her side immediately greeted her warmly, Hello. Mo Weiyi immediately responded likewise, Hello. I heard that youre a junior at Nancheng University? A chubby assistant asked. Mo Weiyi nodded, Yes. Wow, youre so lucky, you know? Our Lawyer Lu never takes on apprentices. Apprentice? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her small face. Yeah, arent you Lawyer Lus apprentice? Am I? Mo Weiyi only knew that she had been allowed to intern here, but she wasnt clear on the specifics. But our Lawyer Lu is really a good man, he brings his own lunch and washes his dishes after eating. Mo Weiyi Is this a good man? Isnt he more like a woman? Bringing his own meals and washing dishes? She simply couldnt imagine Xiao Yebai washing dishes! Amidst their chit-chat, the elevator door opened, and they all went in. The assistants were about the same age C they had just graduated C and Mo Weiyi found it easy to chat with them. However, Lu Qingtian remained silent, setting her apart from the others. Weiyi, where are you going for lunch? Once they arrived on the first floor, the assistants, already acquainted, directly called her by her nick-name. Mo Weiyi answered, Not sure yet, where are you guys going? Were planning to go for Sichuan cuisine, want to join? The assistant enthusiastically invited her. Sichuan food? Mo Weiyi hesitated, Maybe not today, I feel like having something light. Her stomach was still hurting a bit, she couldnt eat anything spicy. Okay. The assistants didnt think much of it. Lu Qingtian, however, slightly raised her eyebrow. They had invited her so warmly yet she didnt want to go. She wanted something light? How finicky could she get? And given that her boyfriend was rich and drives a Bentley, it makes sense. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the jealousy in her heart, pressed the elevator button, Were here. As they stepped out, they saw a man dressed in black heading towards them, Princess. The others were struck dumb. They saw Mo Weiyi hand her elegant handbag to the man, lazily but naturally instructing him, Rong An, find a nearby restaurant with good ambience, preferably a Hong Kong-style tea house with soup. Alright, Princess. Rong An, holding that exceptionably ladylike handbag and operating his phone quickly, named a location, and they both set off. There were a few parking spaces across the street from the law firm. They got into an Audi and quickly left. The remaining girls were left staring, dumbfounded. Chapter 628 - Chapter 628: 628, the Little Princess has had an accident! Chapter 628: 628, the Little Princess has had an accident! The young ladies were all dumbfounded. Wow, is that her boyfriend? Did you hear that? He called her princess! Being pretty means being willful! But why do I feel like theyre celebrities shooting a film? Going out for soup for lunch, they must be loaded. Lu Qingtian: She just broke up with her boyfriend in the morning, and here was another lackey? ** After lunch, Mo Weiyi lounged for a while on the sofa of the tea restaurant. Around one in the afternoon, she returned to the law firm. She was the only one in the entire office. At first, Mo Weiyi didnt think much of it, but Mr. Wang didnt return. It wasnt until nearly three in the afternoon that Mr. Wang rushed in with his briefcase in hand. Looking at Mo Weiyi, he said, Weiyi, prepare for the meeting. Oh. Mo Weiyi quickly got up, picked up her prepared notebook and pen, and followed Mr. Wang out of the office. They went around the outside office area, through the corridor and reception, and finally arrived at the conference room. A few people were already seated in the conference room at this moment. Chenyu was also there, sitting in the head seat. He was elegantly attired in a white shirt complemented by a dark blue plaid sweater. As he saw Mo Weiyi, he glanced at her and then quickly retracted his impassive gaze. He thought to himself: Pretending quite well. As for the others, they all took a few more glances at Mo Weiyi. Their gazes were all different, each beholding different thoughts. After all, it was the first time such a young and beautiful girl appeared in the law firm, this place full of intrigue and office politics. Though Lu Qingtian was also quite attractive, there were two problems First, she was too familiar. No matter how beautiful a woman is, after seeing her for a while, she no longer holds any surprise. Secondly, Mo Weiyi exuded the aura of a lady. Even though shes just a newcomer, an intern, her immaculate face, her curled and stylish hair, her prideful little chin, even her graceful gesture of holding a notebook, and walking in high heels, attract attention. Upon reaching the table, she really sat directly next to Chenyu. Chenyu: Everyone: Chenyu was aware of nothing wrong. She opened her notebook, took off the cap of her pen, and prepared to take notes seriously. In the end, it was Mr. Wang who reminded her in a low voice, You sit in the back. What? Mo Weiyi didnt hear clearly as his voice was too low. Mr. Wang was eminently embarrassed. He coughed twice and repeated, You sit in the back. This is Lawyer Lus seat. Mo Weiyi blinked, looking back. There were office chairs arranged against the wall, whereas these chairs around the table were reserved for executives. Lu Qingtian had already come over, standing by the side waiting without any consideration. With a thin-lipped smile, Mo Weiyi could only rise and sit at the back. Ah, there are only chairs. How could she take notes like this? She was a little vexed. At this time, the meeting participants had walked in one by one, finding their seats. Soon, the entire conference room was filled. Mo Weiyi and several assistants all sat in the back row. The meeting officially began. The executives took turns reporting their work, with Chenyu listening intently, his face impassive and not saying a word. Sleepy in spring, languid in autumn. Because of Mo Yaoxiongs sudden car accident last night, Mo Weiyi had been busying herself between the hospital and home, only getting less than six hours of sleep. Coupled with the extremely dry content of the meeting, besides the voices of those reporting their work, everyone else remained quiet. It was very calm indeed. After half an hour into the meeting, Mo Weiyi could no longer resist the urge to sleep. She was getting drowsier and she really wanted to sleep. However, work is different from school. In school, when you get drowsy, you can lie down and sleep for a while. But at work, things are different. She tried her best to resist the sleepiness. Finally, Chenyu spoke. Take a break for 10 minutes. With that, he got up and left. The others also got up, some going to the restroom, some going out to smoke. Mo Weiyi was just wondering if she should ask Rong An to bring her a cup of coffee when her arm was suddenly bumped. Weiyi, could you make some coffee for everyone? Mo Weiyi raised her head. Lu Qingtian was leaning against her, still with that tone of ordering an underling, Do you know how to use the coffee machine? If not, I can have someone teach you. However, Mo Weiyi raised her fine eyebrows, What does that mean? Lu Qingtian squinted his eyes in apparent annoyance and commanded, Yunyun, you teach her. Sure, attorney Lu. The plump assistant named Yunyun eagerly stood up. Come with me, Weiyi. Ill show you the ropes. However, Mo Weiyi remained seated, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes trained on Lu Qingtian as she asked, Isnt there a reception desk in this law firm? Why do you want me to make coffee? Upon hearing this, Yunyun was taken aback. Not just her, Lu Qingtian and the others present in the meeting room, were all somewhat stunned. After all, its quite common for a newcomer to do menial tasks like serving drinks and running errands in any workplace. But this new recruit Was she really this defiant? Mo Weiyi didnt see it this way. No one has ever spoken to her in that tone before. Not even the Mos or Xiao Yebai had asked her to make coffee before. Born as the only daughter in the Mo family, she was raised like a precious princess; she had never served others nor worked while studying and this was her first internship. When she questioned Lu Qingtian, her voice bore a hint of habitual challenge. While she didnt think much of it, others perceived her as overbearing and arrogant. Lu Chenyu kept her identity a secret, even Old Wang was oblivious and merely thought of her as a beautiful university student who was chosen due to her good looks. While some naive assistants might be clueless, the majority, experienced veterans of the workplace, especially certain career women who had struggled their way up, felt envious seeing such a young and beautiful girl find such an easy entry into the law firm. This incident seemed to fuel their resentment. Lu Qingtian pinched the bridge of his nose and placidly explained, The receptionist was busy with her own tasks. Before Mo Weiyi could respond, Yunyun was pulling her out of the room. In the pantry, Yunyun adopted a kindly tone while advising her, Weiyi, Lu Qingtian is our law firms queen bee. Dont you dare to offend her. Queen bee? Mo Weiyi chuckled. Yeah, just do whatever she asks you to. Shes quite nice and takes good care of us. Really? Mo Weiyi pouted, But Im an intern under Lu Chenyu. I dont work for her. Um Yunyun was at a loss for words. Though technically Weiyi was right, wasnt it normal for interns, who are at the bottom of the office hierarchy, to do menial tasks? Just like how Yunyun started herself. Looking at Mo Weiyis exquisite face, Yunyun decided not to waste time explaining and instead taught her how to make the coffee. Soon after, the coffee was ready, and they returned to the meeting room with the pot. Lu Chenyu had yet to return, and the meeting hadnt begun. Yunyun swiftly grabbed Lu Qingtians cup, filled it with coffee and called for Weiyi. Mo Weiyi turned her face towards her. Yunyun signaled with her eyes and held the cup out for her. Dejectedly, Mo Weiyi accepted the cup. Alright then. She walked over to Lu Qingtian, Your coffee, Ms. Lu. Just put it down. Lu Qingtian hardly raised an eye. Just as Mo Weiyi reached out to pass her the coffee without a second thought, Lu Qingtian suddenly rose from her seat. Careful! The warning came too late from old Wang, but it hardly registered with Mo Weiyi as she felt scalding liquid splash onto her hands and the cup shatter on the floor. Mo Weiyi yelped in pain, her eyes instantly filling up with tears. She was always terrified of pain, and the freshly brewed coffee was close to boiling point. It had hardly cooled down when an entire cups worth spilled onto both her hands. The sudden accident had everyone in the meeting room rushing over in concern. Lu Qingtian quickly asked, My god, did the coffee burn your skin? As Mo Weiyi bit her lip, her hands rapidly turned an alarming shade of red and even seemed to be blistering Murmuring filled the room around her. How did it get so severe? We should rush her to the hospital immediately. Maybe we should call the emergency line, itll be quicker. Yunyun, how did you let this happen! Lu Qingtian shouted. Yunyun, clearly frightened, kept apologizing, Im sorry, Weiyi. Are you alright? Her skin is even blistering, how can she be alright? Lu Qingtians voice was remarkably stern. I didnt do it on purpose. Yunyun teared up, wishing she hadnt asked Weiyi to deliver the coffee. Chapter 629 - Chapter 629: 629, is the Miss of the Mo Family clumsy? Chapter 629: 629, is the Miss of the Mo Family clumsy? Mo Weiyi stared at Lu Qingtian, Did you do this on purpose? Lu Qingtian turned pale, What do you mean by that? I was looking at something and didnt notice you were standing behind me. I didnt do it on purpose. After speaking, Lu Qingtian quickly instructed Yunyun standing by, What are you standing there for? Call 120 now! No need. Mo Weiyi, suppressing her pain, turned around to leave. In the corridor, Lu Chenyu was coming with a thermos to attend a meeting, spotting the burn on Mo Weiyis hand, his expression froze slightly, Miss Mo, what happened? Mo Weiyi glared at him and rushed out of the gate. Lu Chenyu: * * * Upon arrival in the conference room, Lu Chenyu asked, What happened? Yunyun hurriedly explained, Weiyi was just delivering coffee for Sister Lu, but she accidentally spilled the coffee and burned her hand Delivering coffee? Lu Chenyu looked at Lu Qingtian, Dont you have hands? Having her deliver coffee? Do you know who she is? Lu Qingtian was stunned. So were the others. Because it was the first time they saw the usually reticent Lu Chenyu speak so much at once! Moreover, his face was stern, his tone accusatory, and his demeanor noticeably icy cold. Seeing this, Mr. Wang also started to support, Miss Mo is Apprentice Lus student. Lawyer Lu has never asked her to do chores, are you messing around? Lu Qingtians face alternated between flushes of red and white. Though she felt wronged, she defended, I was preparing for the presentation and just wanted her to make coffee for everyone. I didnt know she was so clumsy and spill coffee all over herself. Miss Mo of the Mo Family is clumsy? Lu Chenyu narrowed his eyes, You really wont know how you die. Lu Qingtian felt a chill down her spine. However, Lu Chenyu didnt continue to rebuke her. He just put down the thermos, Lets continue the meeting. Lu Qingtian, trembling, sat down in her seat. The coffee stains and fragments of the cup on the floor were quickly cleaned by housekeeping. No traces remained, it felt as if nothing had happened. Lu Qingtian then began to pacify herself quietly, Shes just a pretty young girl, right? Since Lu Chenyu wasnt making a fuss, it seemed he didnt pay much importance to this Mo Weiyi either. It should be okay. It should definitely be okay. ** Downstairs, Mo Weiyi stepped out of the elevator, Rong An. Rong An was sitting on a sofa in the waiting area reading a newspaper, with a cup of coffee and a box of biscuits beside him. All provided by the receptionist on the first floor who was attracted by his good looks. While comfortably waiting for the princess to finish off so he could take her home, he heard a voice and looked up. His usually expressionless face changed quickly. Princess, what happened? Mo Weiyi pouted. Although she had stopped crying, tears remained on her cheeks from the pain earlier, and she couldnt wipe them due to her injured hands. She looked pitiful. Take me to the hospital. Her voice was choked up. Alright. Rong An glanced at her, Your coat Dont bother with it. My hand hurts. Okay. Rong An was a bit hesitant, nonetheless, he quickly set off with her. Once in the car, he started driving and picked up his cell phone, Ill give Mr. Xiao a call. Mo Weiyi initially wanted to say it wasnt necessary, it was office hours, and the company should be busy at the beginning of the year. But when she looked down at her scarred hands, Swoollen and blisters forming, it was horrifying. The sense of grievance flooded her, she nodded in agreement, Okay. Rong An immediately dialed Xiao Yebais number, and reported the address of the hospital. When Mo Weiyi hurriedly went downstairs earlier, she didnt bring anything, let alone her cell phone, and had no idea what was being said on the other end of the call. She just felt really unlucky! Rong An quickly hung up the phone, Princess, Mr. Xiao will be at the hospital soon. Hm. Mo Weiyi felt a bit relieved but also found it somewhat embarrassing. She had confidently told him just last night that starting today, as long as she didnt have classes, she would work at the law firm. But on her first day of work, she got burned! That little bitch! She was certain, that Lu Qingtian was intentionally belittling her! Was it because of their earlier encounter at the breakfast shop, and he saw the beauty of Xiao Yebai? Did he feel jealous of her good looks? ** Once she arrived at the hospital and got off the car, there were already a bunch of doctors and nurses waiting at the entrance. Mo Weiyi hadnt even recovered from the shock when a group of people rushed towards her. Miss Mo, everything has been arranged by Mr. Xiao. This is our best doctor, Dr. Liu, hell be handling your injury. You can rest with ease. Oh. Mo Weiyi cast a glance at the old doctor, feeling a bit embarrassed. There were still tears on her face, and no way to wipe them off. She kept her head down, as she was escorted into the emergency room in a grand manner. Obviously, the wound treatment process was painful. Mo Weiyi wanted to bear it, but it was just too much, the pain brought continuous tears to her eyes, as she felt wronged and awkward. She was already a delicate person, scared of pain, let alone these type of burns, and there was no way to administer anesthesia. Rong An stood by looking at her, only able to clumsily comfort her. Princess, itll be over soon. Doctor, please be gentle. Princess, bear with it a little But I cant. Mo Weiyi interrupted him with a sob. Rong An: The old doctor coughed, Miss Mo, I have checked it now. It is a minor burn. It has not reached the dermis. Although there are a few blisters, do not worry, it should not leave scars. It may leave scars? Mo Weiyis voice rose sharply. The old doctor quickly reassured her, No, no, as long as you regularly change the bandages, once the wound heals, it wont leave a scar. Mo Weiyi nodded. Her movement made her shed more tears whooshing down her cheeks. She was only wearing a dark blue professional suit, which was quite thin. Pale and thin, curly hair scattered wildly with traces of tears all over her face, she looked pitifully charming. Rong Ans eyes moved slightly. He could not help but wanting to reach out and grab a tissue, but a voice stopped him. How is she doing? An extraordinarily handsome man in a sharp black suit came in from the outside. It seems he had come in directly from the office, he didnt even have a coat on. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, the beautiful peach blossom eyes behind the sharp flat glasses narrowed into a deep line. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyi cried out in a woebegone manner. Rong An withdrew his hand and stepped aside. Xiao Yebai with his long legs reached out to the young girl looking teary. One of his slender hands raised to touch her icy cheek. The fingertip brushed her eyes and then went down, eliminating all the tear stains on her cheeks. Does it hurt? Her eyes were flooded with tears. It wasnt until he asked that two lines of tears poured out of her eyes. They fell like a broken string of pearls, so heavily. It hurts to death. Mo Weiyi looked at him, her voice tender and pitiful, cooing coyly at him. Xiao Yebai turned to the doctor, Be as gentle as possible. Okay. The old doctor replied nervously. Its really helpless. He was already being very gentle, but dealing with these burns, the pain was inevitable, she had to endure it. Xiao Yebai took the box of tissues, drew one out, and wiped the tears off Mo Weiyis face. He asked in a low voice, What happened? Mo Weiyi sniffed, Its all your fault! That woman who brought you food in the breakfast shop this morning, she must like you. Thats why she deliberately spilled coffee on my hand! Xiao Yebai looked at her, eyebrows twitching slightly. All worked up as if shes been greatly wronged. As soon as she finished speaking, the tears fell again. It hurts so much. Mo Weiyi cooed, I feel like dying, what am I going to do? Xiao Yebai could only keep wiping her tears, Hold on. I cant, give me a kiss. Mo Weiyi cooed. Rong An turned his head hastily. As for Xiao Yebai, he lowered his head, his lips coming close to her forehead, giving her a gentle kiss. Mo Weiyi looked content, her face nuzzling against his chest. Perhaps it was because of the comforting presence of a man, the pain in her hand, somehow became bearable. Next, the old doctor finally got to treat the wound with peace. About ten minutes later, the wound was taken care of. The old doctor reminded, Avoid touching things with both hands for a few days, especially dont let it touch water. Come to the hospital every two days to change the medicine. Eat light food and remember to rest more, this way the wound will recover faster. Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: 630, Xiaobai cooks noodles Chapter 630: 630, Xiaobai cooks noodles The old doctor cautioned, Dont touch anything with both hands, especially water, for the next few days. Come to the hospital every other day to change your medicine, and eat lighter food. Also, make sure to rest well. This will aid your wound healing. Xiao Yebai listened quietly and finally carried Mo Weiyi out. Rong An quickly followed. The man in front of him was tall and upright, Mo Weiyi obediently rested in his arms with both hands lifted. When they reached the car, Xiao Yebai placed her in the front passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. As he closed the car door, his phone rang. Zhong Kai said from the other end, Boss Xiao, I asked the law firm. A female lawyer named Lu Qingtian asked princess to make coffee. When she served it, she accidentally spilled it and scalded her hands. Lu Qingtian has been at the law firm for five years, is unmarried and quite popular there. It seems to be just a simple intentional retaliation. Seems? Zhong Kai tensed up by the unemotional deep voice of the man, he quickly explained, Her family background is simple, and I havent found anything unusual. Princess is pretty so maybe its out of jealousy I dont want to hear this. Xiao Yebai opened the car door and said, Take care of it and report back to me later. Understood. Zhong Kai could only agree. After hanging up, Xiao Yebai got into the car. Mo Weiyi spoke, Xiaobai, tell Rong An to go to the law firm and bring back all my things. Okay. Xiao Yebai started the car. Oh, and, please help me ask for a leave from Attorney Lu. With both hands injured like this, she would have difficulty with daily life, let alone continuing her internship. Xiao Yebai glanced at her sideways, You want to go back? Of course! That little bitch wants me to leave, right? Ill do just the opposite of what she wants!. Mo Weiyi raised her bandaged hands, speaking with righteous indignation. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, noncommittally drove out. ** Shortly after receiving the call, Rong An arrived at the law firm. He was tall and wore all black, which along with his cold stern expression and muscular build, created a formidable and oppressive presence. As soon as he entered, the receptionist was frightened into a tremble, Who are you looking for Im here to pick up the princesss things. Just then Yunyun came by and recognized him as the man who had lunch with Mo Weiyi at noon, she immediately said, Please wait a moment, I will bring Weiyis things over. Rong An nodded. Yunyun quickly came back with Mo Weiyis bag and coat. Looking at Rong Ans expressionless face, she cautiously asked, Is Weiyi okay? Shes not. Yunyun: Its serious. Yunyun: She cried badly. Yunyun looked confused, Im sorry, its all my fault. I initially asked her to send coffee to Sister Lu so that their relationship could improve Where is Attorney Lu? Rong An brutally interrupted. Yunyun could only say, Attorney Lu has already clocked out. Rong An, Please ask for leave on princesss behalf. Shes going to be nursing her injuries and wont be coming in. Okay. Yunyun immediately agreed. As Rong An was about to leave, she couldnt help but chase after him and ask, Excuse me, sir, are you Weiyis boyfriend? Rong An turned back, and looked at her in a peculiar way, Shes a princess, and Im her bodyguard. Having said this, he left. Yunyun stood there, looking dumbfounded. Princess? Bodyguard? What the hell? Back at her desk, Lu Qingtian asked her, Where are the materials you were supposed to find? Yunyun replied, Sister Lu, Weiyis bodyguard just came to ask for leave. What bodyguard? Lu Qingtian frowned. Yunyun explained, The man who had lunch with Weiyi at noon, he said he is Weiyis bodyguard. Lu Qingtian: Could Weiyi be the daughter of some wealthy family? Yunyun whispered, Her bag looks like its a Hermes Himalaya bag, worth several million. And that coat is Burberry, she even wears a diamond ring The more Lu Qingtian listened, the tighter her brow knitted and she had a vague feeling of unease. She sat there, and on a whim, opened the web page, launched Baidu, and typed in Mo Weiyi. When she read the sensational news headlines and reports that appeared on the screen Lu Qingtian stared at the computer screen, her beautiful face turning increasingly pale. ** Lu Chenyu quickly received a call from his subordinate. At the time, he was drinking with Chu Xiuhuang in a private room at their residence. He looked at Chu Xiuhuang after hanging up, Little Princess wont be coming. That quick? Chu Xiuhuang drank a glass of wine, Oh shit, the princess cant handle it? She cant stand working for just a day? I guess I overestimated her. Thats not it. Lu Chenyu patiently explained, Shes injured. Injured? Chu Xiuhuang was surprised, What happened? Lu Chenyu picked up his wine glass, too lazy to explain, Its a long story. Damn it! Chu Xiuhuang put down his glass and immediately called Mo Weiyi but Im sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. Fuck! Chu Xiuhuang glared at Lu Chenyu, Youve screwed me! You cant even take care of a woman! What good are you? Now shes injured and not even picking up my calls! Dammit, you deserve to be single for life! Youre jinxed! Lu Chenyu: ** By the time she got back to Lishui Bay Villa, it was already past five in the afternoon. Upon entering the living room, there was no one at home. Aunt Zhou probably went to the hospital to bring dinner to Mo Yaoxiong. Mo Weiyi, looking pitiful, sat on the sofa, looking at her hands wrapped like dumplings, Xiaobai, Im hungry. Xiao Yebai put down his car keys and walked over, What do you want to eat? Mo Weiyi wrinkled her cute little face, thought for a while, then shook her head, Nevermind, I ate out for both breakfast and lunch, I dont want to eat takeout again, lets wait for Aunt Zhou. Arent you hungry? Xiao Yebai said, Ill make you some noodles. As soon as he said that, Mo Weiyi was stunned, Do you know how to make noodles? Xiao Yebai spoke casually, Ive cooked them before when I was in America. Mo Weiyi: Wasnt that years ago? He cooked? Seemed like it didnt taste very good. Will you eat it? Xiao Yebai asked her, his tone seemed quite serious. Mo Weiyi licked her lips. It was rare that her husband offered to cook for her, she didnt have the heart to refuse. All right then, go ahead and cook. She didnt have high expectations anyway. Although Xiao Yebai is basically perfectknowledgeable, handsome, and good at making money. But cooking is really something that needs both talent and experience. And she has never seen him cook in all the time theyve known each other. The only time he brewed a hangover tea was because Su Wanwan got drunk and stayed at their house. Xiao Yebai turned on the TV, adjusted it to a variety show for her to watch, and with his long strides, entered the kitchen. Mo Weiyi sat there, her eyes watching the TV, her ears listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, suddenly feeling a sense of wonder. Wow! Xiaobai was actually cooking noodles for her! If it had been before, she would have never imagined, always feeling that such a grounded thing didnt match Xiao Yebais aloof and cold image. Could it be because she was injured? Was he trying to please her? With that thought, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt that the burn on her hand didnt seem to hurt anymore. After a while, she couldnt help getting up, wanting to go to the kitchen to see what he looked like cooking. But suddenly Aunt Zhous voice rang out from behind her, Princess, what oh my god, princess, what happened to your hands? She rushed in with a thermos, How come the masters wounds havent healed yet and youre injured again? Mo Weiyi had no choice but to say, I wasnt careful and burned myself, itll be fine in a few days. How could you be so careless? Aunt Zhou, looking at Mo Weiyis hands, bandaged like that, was frightful. She had watched Mo Weiyi grow up from a spoiled princess. She checked the time and quickly said, Its almost six oclock, Princess, what do you want to eat, Ill go cook for you. No need. Mo Weiyi hurriedly interrupted her. Aunt Zhou: Xiaobai is already doing it. Aunt Zhou again: It was too shocking, Xiao Yebai cooking? The two entered the kitchen, just in time to see Xiao Yebai take a bowl from the cabinet. He was tall, slim, and the cabinet was high, but he took it with ease, except No matter how you looked at it, it felt off. It seemed that such a man really didnt belong in the kitchen. Seeing the two, Xiao Yebai said, Its almost ready. Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, Did you put an egg in it? Yes. Mo Weiyi stood there, watching him lift the pot, all the noodles pouring out, then holding the bowl of noodles, he said, Its ready to eat. Chapter 631 - Chapter 631: 631, its not that Im picky, its just really not tasty! Chapter 631: 631, its not that Im picky, its just really not tasty! Is it ready to eat already? So fast? But looking at his serious expression, Mo Weiyi made an effort to seem pleased, Great job, great job, hurry up, Im starving! Xiao Yebais lips curled slightly, and Aunt Zhou kindly said, Princess, Ill make you a couple of side dishes. She looked in the bowl and seeing nothing but noodles and a white egg. It obviously didnt look appetizing, hence her kind proposition. But Xiao Yebai shot her a look immediately. Aunt Zhou: Mo Weiyi didnt think it was a big deal, That sounds great, Aunt Zhou, could you make some more food, Xiaobai hasnt had dinner yet, Sure thing, princess, Aunt Zhou sighed in relief and busied herself. First, she tidied up the messy drawer, then cleaned the stove, even the pot Tsk tsk tsk. Master Xiao, could you please avoid my kitchen from now on? Aunt Zhou silently grumbled in her mind, cant you just remain your non-worldly self, Master Xiao? ** Xiao Yebai placed the bowl of noodles on the dining table. Mo Weiyi was already sitting there, looking at the clear soup with a poached egg and noodles. She held up her two bear paws, Xiaobai, you feed me. Only her fingers could move, but the doctors had said it was best not to move them. Xiao Yebai picked up the chopsticks, first picking up the poached egg and bringing it to Mo Weiyis small mouth. Watching her open her mouth and take a small bite. How is it? Xiao Yebai asked a bit unsure. Mo Weiyi chewed a bit, Not bad. It was a poached egg, it didnt have much flavor, but it wasnt terrible; it was edible. Xiao Yebai quickly raised his eyebrows. Mo Weiyi: Why did it seem like he was quite proud? Almost like he was acting coy? That makes sense, hed never cooked before, and now for the first time, he had humbly made her noodles and even received praise. He might as well be coy. Soon, the visibly pleased Xiao Yebai picked up another chopstick-full of noodles. Mo Weiyi lowered her head slightly, bit the noodles and sucked them completely into her mouth. She chewed slowly and swallowed. She didnt say a word. Because It really was not tasty at all! If the previous poached egg could be swallowed reluctantly, the noodles were utterly tasteless, as though they hadnt been salted. Moreover, the noodles were overcooked and melted in her mouth, offering no resistance at all. It was edible But it was tough to swallow. Mo Weiyi struggled to finish that mouthful of noodles and carefully asked, Xiaobai, did you forget to add salt? Xiao Yebai: He stayed silent, just picked up noodles with his chopsticks and tasted them. Mo Weiyi: He always ate with elegance and poise, yet, even so, Mo Weiyi could tell his facial features had subtly changed while chewing. Mo Weiyi relaxed inwardly, blurting out, Not to nitpick, but it really doesnt taste good! See, you cant even stomach it yourself. Xiao Yebai: Although it tasted bad, he still finished the chunk of noodles and then stood up, Im sorry. I havent cooked in a long time, Im out of practice. Holding the bowl of noodles, he left. Xiaobai, where are you going? Mo Weiyi hastily called out to him. Im going to dump it,Xiao Yebai said solemnly. Mo Weiyi quickly said, I really wasnt criticizing you. I think its already amazing. But, if youd added some salt, adjusted the taste, and paid a little more attention to the heat, maybe added some greens itd be even better. Xiao Yebai looked at her, Oh. Mo Weiyi also quickly stood up, Honestly, you did really well for your first time cooking noodles for me, way better than me by a hundred times! Now, Xiao Yebais gaze was getting a bit strange. Mo Weiyi: Why did it seem as if he was so reluctant to be compared to her? Im going to dump this now, Xiao Yebai cut straight to the chase, Well eat Aunt Zhous food later. Alright then. Mo Weiyi didnt insist, however She quickly moved closer, rising on her tiptoes and gently brushed against the mans handsome cheek, This is your reward. Aunt Zhou quickly prepared a four-dish soup, all of them light dishes. After setting the table, she glanced at Xiao Yebai and tactfully left the room. It was time to give the couple a chance to bond. Sure enough, as soon as she got to the living room, she heard the little princesss tender voice in the dining room, Xiaobai, feed me. Hmm. The mans deep voice agreed. Aunt Zhou chuckled and went back into the kitchen to stay busy. Mo Weiyi sat there eating, mouthful after mouthful. Once she was full, the first thing she said was, Xiaobai, I need to teach that Lu Qingtian a lesson! Xiao Yebai looked at her, How do you plan on doing that? Mo Weiyi thought for a moment. She was seriously considering it. Then she said, You can teach her a lesson for me. Xiao Yebai: Anyway, its because of you, Mo Weiyi said confidently. Hiding behind his glasses, his dark eyes narrowed, Xiao Yebai asked, What do you mean? Who asked you to have her deliver things to me this morning? She sees youre attractive and is jealous of my beauty, and wants to take revenge on me, Mo Weiyi stated logically, So its all your fault. Who asked you to be so handsome? The corners of the mans lips curled up, I understand. You understand? Do you know what to do next time? Xiao Yebai grunted, Next time, Ill ask older women for help. Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: 632, the Xiaobai who brings disaster to the country and the people. Chapter 632: 632, the Xiaobai who brings disaster to the country and the people. Mo Weiyi: What kind of strange thought process is this? She said, A favor? Next time you confront a young woman, you should avoid her! You mustnt let her see you! Dont you know how devastatingly handsome you are? Xiao Yebai nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat. Mo Weiyi added, But these days, with my hand bandaged like this, I cant do anything. Like eating, using my phone, and even washing my face or taking a shower. If these things can be done with help, what about going to the toilet? Plus, she was on her period. Mo Weiyi looked at Xiao Yebais refined handsome face, his striking cat-like eyes blinking. Once he finished his meal, she quickly said, Xiaobai, I would like to shower first. Okay. Xiao Yebai stands up immediately, Ill help you. Okay. Arriving at the upstairs, Mo Weiyi awkwardly said, I am on my period, by the way. Okay. A shower will be fine, she added. Sure. Xiao Yebais voice remained calm and emotionless. The two entered the bathroom. Xiao Yebai closed the door and began helping her immediately. Mo Weiyi, her arms wrapped in bandages, could not help but close her eyes. This was turning out to be quite embarrassing. Okay. Mo Weiyi opened her eyes, her cheeks were lightly blushing, Can you help me tie up my hair? Its hard to shower like this. She pointed at the sink, There are hair ties over there. Xiao Yebai walked over there, quickly picked up a simple pink hair tie, and began to try to help her tie her hair. Only thing was He was extremely clumsy and was pulling her hair, causing her scalp to hurt. Once he finally managed to tie it up, she went under the shower, her hands held high. Xiao Yebai took off his glasses, placed them on a nearby shelf, walked over, and started to help her shower very earnestly. After a while, Mo Weiyi said, Xiaobai, your clothes are getting wet. Xiao Yebai looked at her, Its okay. Really? Mo Weiyi looked at him, Do you want to join me? We could save some water. Xiao Yebai looked at her thoughtfully, Dont speak. Mo Weiyi: How unreasonable! His shirt and pants were all wet. She wanted to be considerate of him and he snaps at her! They quickly finished, and he wrapped her up in a big towel, his furrowed brow finally relaxed. Then Mo Weiyi started talking again, Can you help me put my clothes on first? Otherwise, it will stain the towel. Oh, and help me put on the wings. What wings? Xiao Yebai was confused. I mean, a sanitary pad. Xiao Yebai: Hes supposed to stick that thing? But it seemed like there was no other option. He couldnt possibly call Aunt Zhou from downstairs. He said, Okay. Mo Weiyi, wrapped in a towel, waited. After a short while, Xiao Yebai came in, carrying a pink piece of underwear and a pink sanitary pad. Mo Weiyi began instructing him, First, unfurl the sanitary pad, tear off the back, and stick it on there. Make sure to align it in the center, or it might leak. Xiao Yebai: Cough, cough. Mo Weiyi watched his movements and couldnt help but laugh aloud. Watching an ordinarily cold and aloof man do something as motherly as this was too funny. Having heard her laughter, Xiao Yebai looked up at her, Did I do it wrong? Cough, no, no. Mo Weiyi tried to suppress her laughter as she watched him lower his head and carefully check his work. Once he had confirmed there was no issue, he walked over. Had they finished? Xiaobai, I still need to remove my makeup, wash my face, brush my teeth, and apply a face mask. Xiao Yebai: Forget it, lets have Aunt Zhou come up. Seeing him so clumsy, Mo Weiyi didnt want to make things difficult anymore. Xiao Yebai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Alright, Ill call her. He should have called for Aunt Zhou straight away. Oh right, when Rong An comes back, help me bring up my bag and clothes. Mo Weiyi added. Sure. Another thing. Xiao Yebai: Mo Weiyi smiled, her eyes curved happily, Xiaobai, do you really like pink? What? Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow. Nothing. Mo Weiyi said, Can you bring me another nightgown? Alright. As a result, it turned out he really did like pink, he really brought another pink nightgown. With Aunt Zhous help, Mo Weiyi quickly lay down in bed, feeling refreshed. When she got her phone, she took a look. On the screen, there were indeed several missed calls. From Chu Xiuhuang, Shi Huan, and also Mo Yaoxiong. Mo Weiyi tapped the phone to call back. The call quickly connected, Mo Yaoxiongs worried voice came through, Weiyi, whats going on, I heard from your Aunt Zhou that you scalded your hand? How did it happen? I accidentally scalded it, its not a big deal, itll be fine in a few days. Mo Yaoxiong breathed a sigh of relief, Be more careful in the future, you cant attend classes these days, stay home and rest well. Sure. After talking to Mo Yaoxiong for a while, she hung up, then she dialed Shi Huans number. Huanhuan, did you have something to tell me? Weiyi, Chu said you were injured. Is it serious? Chu Xiuhuang? Mo Weiyi was angry, she immediately retorted, Its very serious, it hurts so much. Shi Huan: Blisters are forming, I cant use either hand conveniently now, I cant even go to the law firm. Mo Weiyi exaggerated. That serious? Alright, tomorrow is the weekend, Ill bring Luoluo over to see you. Great. Mo Weiyi gave her the address, then asked her, Huanhuan, do interns have to do servile jobs like making tea and coffee? Uh Shi Huan was a bit lost for words. What nerve! That little b*tch told me to make coffee for her, and said thats what interns are supposed to do. I can see she did it on purpose, jealous of my beauty and envying my looks! Shi Huan coughed lightly, Actually, when I first started, it was like this. You have to do everything since youre new But Im at the law firm to get experience, not to serve tea and coffee. Xiaobai never asked me to make coffee for him. Mo Weiyi argued confidently. Shi Huan, again: ** The next morning, at the law firm. As soon as Lu Qingtian arrived at her seat, the HR director came over, Lawyer Lu, come with me. Lu Qingtians face turned white immediately. Not exaggerating, she didnt sleep well last night worrying, and now she has dark circles under her eyes. It looks like what she feared is going to happen. Walking into the conference room, the HR director didnt beat around the bush, she directly brought a contract, Lawyer Lu, this is your termination contract with Yurui. Please sign. Director Wang, why am I being fired? Lu Qingtian hurriedly asked. Director Wang looked at her, adjusting her glasses, Lawyer Lu, Im just following orders Did Lawyer Lu tell you to fire me? I want to talk to Lawyer Lu personally! Lawyer Lu, do you really not know whom youve offended? Director Wang looked at her with a speechless expression, Mo Weiyi, the cherished daughter of the Mo family, came here for work experience. On the very first day, she got her finger scalded because of you and had to go to the hospital. She came here because of Chu Xiuhuang. You know the relationship between Chu Xiuhuang and Lawyer Lu. So, do you think Lawyer Lu would rather offend the Mo family or protect you? Lu Qingtian was still clinging onto hope, But I really didnt do it on purpose, it was her own clumsiness that got her scalded by the coffee. How is it my fault? But the fact is Mo Weiyi was scalded and had to go to the hospital while you are safe and sound. I Lawyer Lu, youve been in the workplace for many years. You should understand the nuances. Lets not make it difficult for me, a go-between. Just sign the contract, lets part on good terms. Director Wang, looking exhausted, handed a pen and the contract to her. Seeing that Lu Qingtian still refused to sign, she continued, Firing you is already more than generous. If you stay, your future will be worse. Think about it, you really cant afford to offend the Mo family! Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: 633, scratch her face, break a leg? Chapter 633: 633, scratch her face, break a leg? Seeing that Lu Qingtian still wouldnt sign, she said again, Dismissing you from your job is already us showing mercy. If you continue to stay here, Im afraid your future will be even bleaker. You should consider for yourself, the Mo Family isnt something you can afford to offend! Lu Qingtian bit her lip. Indeed, she had meticulously searched the internet last night and found that the Mo Family had started out in the underworld, and Mo Weiyi, as the only daughter, had always been lavished with attention since childhood. No wonder that bodyguard called her princess. Not because he was blinded by power, but because she truly was a modern version of a princess. Lu Qingtian took a deep breath, picked up a pen, and signed her name. Sister Wang also sighed with relief, Alright, you can go back and pack your things. Once youve handed over work today, you can leave. Alright. Lu Qingtian felt a great sense of injustice, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only blame herself for having misjudged and offended the wrong person. She thought that this would be the end of it. She got back to her desk, quickly handed over her job to a male colleague, and left with her personal belongings. But to her surprise, a man who had been sitting in the waiting area downstairs suddenly stood up and blocked her way. Lu Qingtian was stunned, particularly when she saw the mans face, her heart trembled with fear. It was the man who had gone out for lunch with Mo Weiyi yesterday, the one Yunyun called bodyguard. She initially thought he was just a spare tire for Mo Weiyi. But once she learned that he was a bodyguard, especially given his tall and muscular physique and his cold and cunning face, his ruthless eyes frightened her. She immediately tried to leave, but the man directly grabbed her arm. An extreme sense of fear rose from her heart, and Lu Qingtian screamed hysterically, What are you going to do? Let me go, let go of me, help, somebody help But no matter how she yelled or struggled, the staff on the first floor looked over, then quickly looked away. Everyone could still vividly recall the scene of Rong An beating up Ye Bei on the first floor just a few days ago. Who would dare to step forward and help? ** Outside, the man dragged Lu Qingtian to the side of an Audi, opened the back door, and forcibly shoved her inside. His movements were brutish, and he was very strong. Lu Qingtian fell heavily into the car, and the sound of the car door closing scared her almost out of her wits. She tried to run, only to find the car door being quickly locked. Immediately afterward, the man got into the car from the other side. She immediately started yelling, What do you want to do? Dont you know that this is illegal? Who the hell are you? Im going to call the police uh! Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped across the face. Lu Qingtians face was swung to one side by the force of the slap. The force was so strong that her head hit the car window with a thud. Her vision blurred, her forehead throbbed with pain, and she was stunned for a long time. But the fear in her heart overshadowed everything. She never expected that this manthis man would readily resort to violence against a woman! Before she could react, another slap came her way. After several consecutive slaps, she felt dizzy and her face was unbearably painful, tears streamed down her face. Finally, when he stopped, the mans cold voice followed, Save it. Im not like the other men who would sympathize with a womans suffering. Tears kept rolling down Lu Qingtians face. After a long time, she finally found her voice again, this time trembling, Whatwhat else do you want? The man said, You hurt the princess, what do you think I want? It really wasnt intentional. Lu Qingtian tried to play the victim, And Ive already been fired from the law firm. Ive lost my job already. Isnt this enough? What else do you want? The mans expression didnt change, Apologize to the princess. Hearing these words, Lu Qingtians face instantly changed. The next second, the man took out a cell phone and hit the record button: Start now, apologize! ** Meanwhile, Zhong Kai had made a phone call to Xiao Yebai, Mr. Xiao, the contract between Yurui and Lu Qingtian has been terminated. We have also informed all other law firms in Nancheng that they will not hire her. A lawyer, from now on, no law firm dared to hire her. Obviously, Lu Qingtians career had been completely ruined. Xiao Yebai simply responded with a hmm and hung up the phone. In his study, he was looking at the information on his computer, his handsome face behind the glasses not showing a trace of emotion. The room was very quiet, aside from the occasional tapping of the keyboard. The study was well soundproofed, no sound from outside was audible. In the living room, Mo Weiyi was sitting on the sofa, holding two bear claws with Shi Huan and Little Luoluo sitting beside her. Shi Huan had brought flowers, fruits and a gift. When she opened it, she found a diamond brooch. The workmanship was exquisite, showing its high value at first glance. Mo Weiyi quickly said, Huanhuan, your coming to see me is enough, why bring so many things? This brooch is too expensive, it must have cost a lot, right? Shi Huan laughed and said, These are all tokens of appreciation from Mr. Chu. As soon as Mo Weiyi heard it was a gift from Chu Xiuhuang, her smile instantly disappeared, and she snorted proudly, No sincerity, does he really think that I would forgive him and his best buddy with just this tiny, broken brooch? Impossible! Shi Huan:. Aunt Zhou brought over some freshly baked cookies at that time, fragrant and hot, with various shapes of small animals made using molds. Little Luoluo was stunned as soon as they were placed on the coffee table. She was already five years old, but her mother had never made such cookies for her! Luoluo, hurry up and thank Aunt Zhou. Shi Huan reminded on the side. Thank you, Aunt Zhou. Little Luoluo immediately thanked in a milky voice. Aunt Zhou laughed until her eyes were squinted into a line, No need to thank me. If you like eating them, I will bake more for you to take home and eat slowly. No need to trouble yourself, Aunt Zhou, Ill be taking her home soon. Shi Huan hurriedly declined. Aunt Zhou looked surprisingly at the two of them. They looked quite similar and the little girl seemed to like her a lot, arent they mother and daughter? The mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. Mo Weiyi immediately stretched out her bear paw-like hand, slid the screen open with a finger, and then saw a WeChat message from Rong An. When she opened it, it was a video. In the video, Lu Qingtian had blood on the corner of her mouth, her face was red and swollen like a pigs head, she was looking at the camera, crying silently, Miss Mo, Im sorry, its all my fault, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I shouldnt have intentionally bumped into you Shi Huan was stunned. She had heard from Chu Xiuhuang that during a meeting at the law firm, Mo Weiyi had burnt her hand while helping a female lawyer with her coffee. So, this is the female lawyer? Mo Weiyi quickly closed the video before finishing it. After all, there were kids around them at the moment, and it would be bad to influence them. On the screen, Rong An sent two more messages: Princess, she is still with me. Should I slash her face or break a leg? Mo Weiyi coughed twice, struggled to type with one finger and replied, Shes already been slapped, just let her go, its enough that she knows her mistake. The slap mark on Lu Qingtians face in the video was so obvious, and her forehead was swollen and her mouth was bleeding, it was clear that she had been taught a lesson by Rong An, and he didnt go easy on her. She was quite clear about her bodyguards temper. Rong An replied, Okay. After spending about forty minutes in the villa, Shi Huan looked at the time. Weiyi, I have to go now, I still have to take Luoluo home. Okay, I cant go to work or school recently, Im so bored being alone at home, come visit me when youre free. Okay, if I have time, Ill come to see you. Shi Huan stood up with Little Luoluo, Luoluo, say goodbye to your sister. Goodbye, sister. Little Luoluo waved her little meaty hand, blinking her adorable big eyes, looking unbearably cute. If it werent for the fact that both her hands were injured and bandaged, Mo Weiyi really wanted to hold her and give her a big kiss. Shes just too adorable! No, she also wanted to have such a beautiful baby girl! They say that daughters take after their fathers, if she looks like Xiaobai, she would be super beautiful. Huanhuan, you and Luoluo wait for a bit, Ill call Xiaobai. Shi Huan was stunned. Mo Weiyi had already run to the study with her bear paw-like hands raised, knocked on the door with her elbow, pushed the door and went in, Xiaobai, Xiaobai. Behind the computer, Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids, What is it? Mo Weiyi raised her bear paw-like hands excitedly, shouting, Xiaobai, I want to take a photo! Take a photo of what? Little Luoluo, I particularly like her, we can take a few photos with her, so that I can look at them every day when I get pregnant, for prenatal education. Xiao Yebai: Shi Huan also: So, she took her mobile phone and helped Mo Weiyi, Xiao Yebai, and Little Luoluo take several family-of-three photos. Needless to say, all three of them were very good-looking, and they indeed looked pleasing to the eye when standing together. Although, Xiao Yebais expression was a bit cold, whereas the expression of Little Luoluo wasa bit dazed. Mo Weiyi, however, couldnt have been happier. Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: 634, give birth to a beautiful baby girl Chapter 634: 634, give birth to a beautiful baby girl In the photo, a man is dressed in a dark shirt, with a thin grey knitted sweater on top. He is wearing a pair of rimless glasses, looking refined and handsome. The woman is dressed in a pink knitted dress, with a sweet smile on her face. As for the little girl, she has two long, cute braids. Her fair, beautiful, chubby little face is very adorable, with big, super cute eyes. She asked, satisfied, Huanhuan, send me all the photos. Okay. Shi Huan posted all the photos in the bestie group chat. Xiao Yebai glanced at them, then turned around and went back to his study. Finally leaving Lishui Bay, Little Luoluo, sitting in the back seat with a lollipop in her chubby hand, asked curiously, Huanhuan, who is that uncle? Xiao Yebai only left his study when they were about to leave and barely said a word. He went back immediately after taking the photos. He was so standoffish. Shi Huan explained with a smile, Thats your sister Weiyis husband. Husband? Little Luoluo innocently tilted her head, So, should brother-in-law be Huanhuans husband in the future? Shi Huan put a hand to her forehead, hastily saying, Luoluo, your Uncle Chu was just joking, you cannot call him brother-in-law anymore, understand? Then, what should I call him? Call him uncle. Oh. Little Luoluo obediently agreed, but soon, she had more questions, Huanhuan, school will start soon, can I live with you? No. Why? As soon as she heard no, Little Luoluos delicate face scrunched up. Because your mom and dad are back. But I want to live with you. Shi Huan felt a tug at her heartstrings, Then Ill come to pick you up when theres a chance during the holidays, okay? Okay then. Little Luoluo dropped her head, looking somewhat dejected. Dad is too busy, and Mom is too. When she lived with her mom and dad, it was the nanny who took care of her most of the time. At home alone after school, she had no one to talk to. Poor little kid. ** Half an hour later, the car drove into an old residential area in the north of the city. Ever since the Shi Family went bankrupt, Mrs. Shi and her daughter-in-law moved here. They bought a second-hand, three-bedroom apartment. In all aspects, it naturally couldnt compare with the villas they owned before. Mrs. Shi had been complaining about this for five to six years now. When they got upstairs and out of the elevator, they heard laughter and chitchat. The old buildings construction was average, and so was the soundproofing. They could hear everything outside. Shi Huan knocked on the door, and soon, Tu Yourans voice said, Huanhuan is here. As soon as she opened the door and saw the lollipop in Little Luoluos hand, her face fell, Luoluo, didnt I tell you not to eat candy? Startled, Little Luoluo quickly took the candy out of her mouth. Tu Youran stretched out her hand to rudely snatch the candy and threw it in the trash can, then she looked at Shi Huan, Huanhuan, stop spoiling her. Its not good to be too indulgent with children. Shell become spoiled and I wont be able to control her. Im sorry, Youran, in fact, this is the only one she ate today Kids love snacks. Do you think she can really tell you how many she ate? Dont let her fool you! This kid is too smart! Shi Huan pursed her lips and stopped speaking. Little Luoluo also lowered her head and didnt dare to say anything. In the living room, Mrs. Shi had a sour face. Qian Yulin and Shi Minyan on one side were also silent. The joyful atmosphere from a moment ago was gone, as if it had been disrupted. Not only that. You dare to come back? The moment Shi Huan came in, Mrs. Shi used her cane to stand up, her voice threatening, raising her cane to interrogate, I want to ask you, was it you who sabotaged the Zhu Familys company? Grandma, what do you mean? Youre still playing dumb! Anger seeped from Mrs. Shis whole body, Thats the family of your aunts relative. By messing with them, how will your aunt look in front of her family? How do you make them see us, the Shi Family? Tu Youran on one side said, Enough, Mom. This matter is in the past. I talked to my cousin and his wife, and they said its not Huanhuans fault. But Mrs. Shi immediately retorted, Look at your aunt. How understanding, tolerant, and considerate she is! Aside from causing trouble and bringing me unhappiness, what else can you do? Youre such a disaster! A monster! Shi Huan didnt respond. At these moments, the more she replied, the more excited Mrs. Shi would get. When she returned to the Shi Family from the orphanage at the age of fifteen, she thought Mrs. Shi was just old and had a bad temper. She later realized that Mrs. Shi simply did not like her. That makes sense. After living in an orphanage for so many years, they couldnt feel close, even with a blood connection. Moreover, the Shi Family already had an almost perfect Shi Qingge. Shi Qingge didnt like her, this sister who suddenly appeared, so it was only natural that Mrs. Shi, who doted on Qingge, wouldnt like her either. Shi Huan thought she had seen through everything, but Well, if you came today, explain clearly to your aunt what exactly happened! Why treat Zhu Mingpeng so harshly! And why did you send someone to meddle with the Zhu Familys company afterward! So ruthless! Shi Huan patiently explained, Grandma, Ive told you, at that time Zhu Mingpeng was making rude remarks. I couldnt hold back and splashed wine on him. Who knew Chu saw this and felt that as his secretary, I was being bullied, which made him lose face as the boss, so You splashed someone with wine in public, and you dare to play the victim here? Could there have been such a string of incidents if you hadnt started it? Ive known Zhu for a long time, hes a good person, very polite Shi Huan remained silent: Forget it. Let the old lady vent. Once shes done venting, itll be fine. Finally, after scolding for half a day, Madam Shi grumbled, Alright, since this matter is past, lets forget it. Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Your aunt has introduced you to a good guy, his name is Wang Yiming, hes a radio host, twenty-eight years old this year, about your age, and has a good job. He was your aunts college classmate I dont want it. Shi Huan finally couldnt stand it and interrupted her. Madam Shi looked at Shi Huan, watching her face showing a myriad of expressions in the short span of time, finally, grim clouds came over, What do you mean by that? Granny, Ive said before, I never plan to get married in my life! No way! You must get married! I can take care of myself, I dont need a man Youre the granddaughter of the Shi family, if you dont get married, where am I supposed to put my old face? Should your Grandfather and your Father be criticized in the underworld, too? Youre going to be twenty-five after your birthday, if you dont get married, youre a leftover woman! You think earning money is a glory, dont you? For a woman, not getting married is a joke! No, this year you must find a man and marry me! Shi Huan bit her tongue, trying not to speak. On the side, Shi Minyan couldnt help but speak, Mom, Huanhuan is still young, theres no rush about marriage What do you know? She is a girl, unlike you guys. It doesnt matter if a man doesnt get married after twenty-five, but a woman cant. There is no room for discussion! After saying this, Madam Shi immediately ordered Tu Youran on the side, Youran, get that Xiaowans WeChat or something added for her quickly. Tu Youran stood up, holding her phone and said, Huanhuan, scan his WeChat. Seeing Shi Huan not responding, she explained with a smile, Dont worry, Yiming is my college classmate, his parents are teachers, and hes quite nice. Rest assured, hes different from my distant cousin. Did you not hear your Aunts words? Hurry up and add the WeChat! Madam Shi urged impatiently. Shi Huan took a deep breath, took out her phone, and scanned it quickly. Having added him as a contact, she immediately said, Its getting late, I will go first. Just as her words finished, Little Luoluo ran over, her soft little hand holding onto her little finger, asked unwillingly to part, Huanhuan, are you leaving now? Tu Youran looked at her daughter, her fingers unconsciously tightened. Yes, Ill come visit you again when I have the opportunity. Huanhuan, can you not go? Little Luoluo held tightly onto her finger, with soft and pitiful small voice. Its mealtime, Huanhuan, why dont you stay for a meal before you go? Shi Minyan also persuaded. In the kitchen, the nanny was preparing lunch. This nanny was hired by Shi Huan for Madam Shi. Qian Yulin couldnt take care of it all by herself, and she had to go to France to see Shi Qingge from time to time. No need, Ill eat at home. After Shi Huan said this, she forcibly pulled her own finger away, Luoluo, Im going home. Little Luoluo pouted her small mouth, could only wave her small hand, Goodbye, Huanhuan. Tu Youran quickly said, Huanhuan, let me walk you out. Madam Shis face sank. Its just a few steps, whats there to send? ** Outside, Shi Huan pressed the elevator button, Auntie, go back to eat, dont need to send me. However, Tu Youran said, Its okay, Ill accompany you downstairs. Okay. The elevator arrived, and the two walked in one after the other. The elevator mirror had a reflective effect. Tu Youran was wearing a goose yellow dress under her coat, stepping on black high-heeled leather shoes. Her chestnut-colored shoulder-length hair was in a gentle style. Her makeup was exquisite, her posture elegant, even her voice was very gentle. Huanhuan, you really dont want a boyfriendare you dating Chu Xiuhuang? No, the newspaper made it up. Thats good. Tu Youran heaved a sigh of relief, Huanhuan, actually I feel quite sorry for you. I really didnt expect my cousin to be so rude, using the past to hurt you. Dont worry, Yiming wont behave this way. You guys can have a good talk, hes really a nice person. Yes, his WeChat photo is his real photo Theres no need, Auntie. Shi Huan couldnt help but interrupt her, Ive said it before, I really dont want to get married. Why? Tu Youran looked at Shi Huan, her eyes soft, but there was a clear scrutiny in them, Huanhuan, the past is in the past, why do you need to indulge in the past? You should look forward in life. Youre still young, moreover you are beautiful and capable of working. I believe therell be good men who will appreciate your merits No need. Shi Huan forced a smile, Auntie, you dont have to concern yourself with my affairs in the future. I truly dont want to get married. Tu Yourans eyes quickly traversed several emotions, but her tone was still very gentle, If you think Yiming is not good enough, I can help you search Its not that. Shi Huan frowned, finally saying, I might have a phobia. What do you mean? Shi Huan said, I cant be intimate with men, even a slight touch makes me uncomfortable, even Even violent tendencies. Last time, Chu Xiuhuang was bitten until his hand was covered in wounds by her. Tu Youran was a bit stunned, Huanhuan, so should I find a psychologist for you? No need. Shi Huan laughed helplessly, Just leave it, I think its nice being alone. Being unattached and free is great. Just as the elevator door opened, she immediately said, Im going now, no need to keep me company anymore, goodbye Aunt. Before Tu Youran could react, Shi Huan quickly walked off. Tu Youran stood in the elevator, her face suddenly becoming cold. Shi Huan, do you really have a phobia? Or is it because of lingering feelings for Minyan? But regardless of which it is, Minyan is now my husband, Luoluo is my daughter, this wonderful family of mine cannot change, I will not allow any changes! So Shi Huan, I can only apologize to you. Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: 635, does President Huo and Wanwan have couple outfits? Chapter 635: 635, does President Huo and Wanwan have couple outfits? Shi Huans car had just left the neighborhood when her phone rang. Mr. Chu? Come to Krushdowl Golf Course, right now. After saying that, Chu Xiuhuang hung up before she could respond. Shi Huan frowned and checked the time. It was twelve oclock noon. But she only hesitated for a second before turning on her GPS and heading to the golf course. It was the weekend. Was there another social gathering? ** Krushdowl Golf Course. Su Wanwan was brought here by Huo Jingshen after lunch. Busy recently with classes at school and internships at the TV station, she finally had a rare day off. It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy some time with her husband. The mid-day sunlight was just right. In mid-March, the weather in Nancheng had become much warmer. And today, it was sunny with no clouds in sight. It was a good day to go out. Su Wanwan was wearing a light-colored sports outfit in shades of pink and grey. Her seaweed-like long hair was tied in a ponytail. She wore white sneakers and a white baseball cap. Without makeup, her cute little face was smooth and flawless, radiating youth and beauty. Huo Jingshen was also wearing a rare casual outfit, a matching couples outfit with Su Wanwans outfit. His outfit was made from a mix of blue and grey fabric. At first glance, it was clear that they were both wearing couples clothing. As soon as Chu Xiuhuang saw them, his good-looking face darkened and a muscle in his cheek twitched involuntarily. Sheesh. Could they not show off? He asked himself, could they not show off? If they wanted to show off, couldnt they have told him in advance? Then he would not have come to be a third wheel! Here he was, eating dog food? (Chinese slang for being a lonely third wheel in the company of a couple) He wasnt going to take this sitting down! So Chu Xiuhuang immediately called Shi Huan. After hanging up, he got up and said, Big brother, Im going to buy some clothes. Huo Jingshen looked at his black casual outfit. Chu Xiuhuang explained, Little Huanhuan is also coming. She was adamant about wearing couples clothes with me, so I have no choice but to go buy some. After saying this, he left. As he walked away, he shook his head, Women, theyre so bothersome. Huo Jingshen: Pretending indeed! Husband, husband. Su Wanwan ran over, Quick, help me take some pictures. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, took her phone, and started taking photos of his wife. From various angles, in various poses, one for each. After he finished, Su Wanwan immediately posted the photos in her bestie group and @ed Mo Weiyi. [Mo Xiaose! Come play golf!] It took some time for Mo Weiyi to reply: [What type of ball?] Su Wanwan: [Golf!] Mo Weiyi: [Both my paw-like hands are injured, cant play!] Upon seeing this, Su Wanwan quickly called her. After talking for a while, she hung up the phone, After were done here, lets go check on Weiyi in Lishui Bay, she hurt her hand. Again? What kind of tone is that? Su Wanwan looked at her husband, sternly accusing, She got hurt because she is so beautiful. While she was interning at a law firm, a jealous b*tch purposefully spilled hot coffee on her. Are you sure its because of her beauty and not because. shes too overbearing? Su Wanwan: Even though Mo Weiyi could be somewhat domineering, but Su Wanwan absolutely sided with her best friend! She said, Weiyi is already in a miserable state, can you not keep adding insult to injury? Can you have some sympathy? Can you be a little more compassionate? Huo Jingshen: He fell silent! He pulled Su Wanwans small hand, Come on, lets play golf. Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang quickly selected a pair of couples casual clothes and bought a pair of sneakers. He was prepared to the teeth. By the time Shi Huan gasping for air, finally arrived, Mr. Chu. Already changed, Chu Xiuhuang nonchalantly handed her the outfits, How are you going to play golf dressed like that? Go get changed. Thank you, Mr. Chu. Shi Huan was indeed dressed inconveniently for golf in a black coat and small heels. After changing, she realized Shi Huan was at a loss. What Chu Xiuhuang was wearing completely matched the outfit she had on! They clearly looked like a couples outfit! They were both wearing white tops and black trousers, one male version, one female. Mr. Chu, this outfit. It was on sale. I figured you didnt bring a change of clothes, so I bought it for you. Youll just have to make do. Chu Xiuhuang said, grasping her hand, Lets go. Shi Huan hadnt checked her WeChat earlier. As she began walking, she asked, Mr. Chu, do we have clients today? What client? Shi Huan frowned, Arent we playing golf with a client? Chu Xiuhuang glared at her irritably, Yes, I was supposed to meet someone for a discussion, but my brother brought his sister-in-law along. I thought it might be boring for her, so I invited you to keep her company. Okay then, Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly got into the car that was driving on an endless green meadow. The gentle breeze blew past the green plants by the road, sprouting new buds, and swaying slightly in the wind. This was so relaxing. Shi Huan was leisurely admiring the scenery when suddenly a black baseball cap was placed on her head. She turned around in surprise, Mr. Chu? I dont need it. She reached out to take it off, but a big hand held it down. Dont take it off! Chu Xiuhuang smirked, his thin lips curled, his laughter charming, The sun is a bit strong. Its not good for you to get tanned. Shi Huan: Blinking her eyes, before she could respond, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said, Do not disobey, who told you to wear glasses? As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and plucked the glasses from her face, then threw them away. The action was performed in one fluid motion. Shi Huans almond-shaped eyes, which were clearly distinguished between black and white widened, Mr. Chu, these glasses cost more than a hundred! This is the third pair that has been scrapped recently Ill give you 100,000. Dont wear glasses in front of me ever again, replied the wealthy young master Chu. Shi Huan knitted her brows All right then. With 100,000, its understandable to not wear glasses in front of him, but she could still wear them when she was with others. Chu Xiuhuang was satisfied, Were here. The car stopped behind a small hill. This golf course uses a membership grading system. This is a senior VIP area. Even though the course is vast, there were not many people on the expansive green field at the moment. Therefore, Shi Huan immediately spotted Huo Jingshen teaching Su Wanwan basic movements on the beginners practice slopes not far away. Under the umbrella nearby, a man and a woman were already seated. The man looked about forty years old, wearing a blue tracksuit, and was noticeably beer-bellied. The woman, on the other hand, was young, dressed in a pink sports skirt that fell to her thighs, revealing a copious amount of her cleavage. Her large areas of white flesh were quite eye-catching as she sat there. Shi Huan immediately said, Is it the second in command of the Zhou Family? Zhou Tingzheng ran several shops under the name of the Zhou real estate, and had collaborations with Ming Family jewelry. He recently approached Huangyou in order to talk about a partnership. Hmm.. Chu Xiuhuang responded ambiguously, Get off the car. Mr. Chu. Zhou Tingzheng stood up quickly. When he saw Shi Huan, he smiled and asked, And who might this young lady be? Could it be young master Chus new girlfriend? Some time ago, he vaguely remembered reading a piece of gossip on the internet. Greetings, Mr. Zhou, my name is Shi Huan. On hearing this, Zhou Tingzhengs eyes widened in surprise, Secretary Shi? Are you Secretary Shi? This is actually Secretary Shi? After removing her glasses, she had become so beautiful that he could hardly recognize her. Wearing a casual dress with a baseball cap on, her face was unmade up yet fair and delicate. Her skin was flawless, her features were exquisite, and there was a touch of classical beauty about her. Upon comparing her to his thotsy female companion, Zhou Tingzheng suddenly felt Naturally beautiful girls were the real deal! Hello, Mr. Chu. The thotsy female companion had already stood up, excited and eager to shake hands with Chu Xiuhuang. Chu of Huangyou! The top lover of all women in Nancheng! She was already stunned to see president Huo, but she didnt expect Chu to also come! Plus, master Chu is still single! It seems she was really going to score big by coming with Mr. Zhou! The thotsy female companion was brimming with excitement, but Chu Xiuhuang ignored her, Mr. Zhou, feel free to move around. We can discuss the cooperation later. Sure sure, please feel free, Mr. Chu. Zhou Tingzheng certainly didnt dare to refuse. Once Chu Xiuhuang took Shi Huan to meet Huo Jingshen, Zhou Tingzheng plopped back in his chair, his lecherous eyes fixated on Shi Huans silhouette. He never imagined that the private Secretary Shi would be this beautiful. Normally, she always dressed like an old virgin, covering herself completely. Was this intentional? Before, he used to think of her as just an efficient female secretary. He would often hear rumors about her calm demeanor in crisis and excellent work capabilities. Now, it seemed that things might not be that simple If a woman could climb to this position, how crazy would it be? It seems she must have played some major hand Mr. Zhou, should we go and play for a while? the thotsy female companion asked in a flirtatious voice. She was starting to get restless, especially seeing Chus dashing figure standing tall in the distance. His tall and slender body, just the way he casually held the golf club, she found him irresistibly charming. Plus, he didnt have a female companion today! She couldnt wait to go over there and start flirting. Sure. Zhou Tingzheng got up. Lili, dont say I never gave you an opportunity. Master Chu is right there. You know how to handle it, right? Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Lili was over the moon. Zhou Tingzheng smiled, Master Chu is usually generous with his female companions. If you are a bit more daring, perhaps, you might end up owning a house. Lili hurriedly nodded in response. Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: 636, keep practicing basketball! Chapter 636: 636, keep practicing basketball! Place your feet shoulder-width apart, overlap your hands like this, Huo Jingshen said, his hands each holding Su Wanwans wrists, guiding her to hold the golf club. His deep voice continued, Stand straight, tighten your arms, and hold rigid. Su Wanwan found herself inexplicably blushing. Damn it. He was educating her, but did he need to stand so close? Why are you blushing? Concentrate on the golf! Some person said self-righteously. Just then, Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan came by, which made Su Wanwans face become even more flushed. He spoke so loudly; did he do it on purpose to let everyone hear? Focus, just like this. Try hitting the ball on your own. Huo Jingshen finally let go while speaking. He stood aside, his thin lips slightly lifted, a faint smile on his face while watching the young girl. They had been married for so long, yet she still blushed so easily. She seemed to be too shy. But every time he saw her like this, his instinctive male chauvinism was satisfied. Su Wanwan regained her focus and swung her golf club methodically. With a pop, the little white ball flew out. Good. Not bad. Even Chu Xiuhuang raised his hand and clapped, Didnt expect this little girl to have a talent for golf. Su Wanwan immediately raised her eyebrows in triumph, Of course, I am talented in all aspects! She was not bragging, she indeed had a knack for sports. Then, Huanhuan, come over here. I will teach you. Sure! Shi Huan readily agreed. But Chu Xiuhuangs face sank all of a sudden. Damn it. Whats going on here? Does my girlfriend need you to teach her? But Shi Huan had already walked over. So they saw Su Wanwan teaching diligently, using the same posture that Huo Jingshen had taught her. It looked quite intimate. Chu Xiuhuang gripped his golf club tightly; if it were not for Huo Jingshen watching, he might have hit Su Wanwan in the forehead The most frustrating thing was, Shi Huan was quite intelligent. She had often come to golf courses for business talks, so with a little guidance from Su Wanwan, she was able to play. The two young women quickly started hitting balls one after another! Huo Jingshen, carrying his golf club, stood by and began to play. Chu Xiuhuang shamelessly squeezed in, So, shall we play together, Little Huanhuan? How about a three-person match? Before Shi Huan could answer, Su Wanwan turned her head and looked at him, We are all beginners. You should have a match with my husband if you dare. A match? Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly. Su Wanwan immediately asked, What kind of match, Dahuang? My husband is asking. Dahuang? Dahuang? What the hell. Is he calling a dog? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face turned colorful, You cheeky brat, show some respect and call me Second Brother! Huo Jingshen, standing by her side, gave a cold look, Just who lacks respect here? Call her sister-in-law! Chu Xiuhuang gripped the club, his fingers turning white from the effort, What the hell, youre only a month older than me! This girl is ten years younger than me! Normally he did call her sister-in-law. Its just that he was resentful at that moment for disrupting his chance to have an intimate moment with his girlfriend, and therefore he didnt want to call her sister-in-law! Huo Jingshen casually swiped his golf club and sent a white ball flying high, Who proposed the idea of becoming sworn brothers in the peach orchard when we were five? Chu Xiuhuang: Damn it. Is he still dwelling on something that happened when we were five? Husband, whats this about becoming sworn brothers in a peach orchard? Su Wanwan asked curiously. Huo Jingshen smiled slightly, When this certain person was a child, he was as pretty as a little girl and was afraid of being bullied in kindergarten. So he proposed becoming sworn brothers in a peach orchard, and found himself an older brother to rely on. Pfft! Shi Huan couldnt help laughing. The said certain person, was naturally Chu Xiuhuang. He was too beautiful and had such tender skin as a child that he looked like a little girl. The said older brother was undoubtedly, Huo Jingshen. Just then, a syrupy voice called out, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuang fiercely squinted his eyes to take a good look. She was wearing a pink backless mini dress, with a thickly applied layer of makeup on her snaky face, and her chin was pointy enough to kill someone! Where did this seductive cheap woman come from? He was already vexed, and his tone became even more impatient, What do you want? Lili sweetly walked towards him while a strong fragrance also wafted towards him, Mr. Chu, you look so handsome today. Greedily and shrewdly glancing over the mans face, her heart beat violently. Sure enough, he was the perfect man icon for the women of Nancheng City! Dressed in elegant athletic wear, with straight and long legs, a straight back like a pine, and standing around 188cm tall. He didnt lag behind those models on fashion magazines at all! Moreover, he naturally radiated nobility. Especially his narrow phoenix eyes, slightly tilted at the end when looking at someone, seductively flirtatious and captivating. His tightly pursed lips and the perfect line of his raised jaw hinted amidst a sense of lofty nobility. Chu Family was an aristocratic family with a scholarly tradition. Since the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they were relatives to the Emperor, their family for generations engaged in literary arts, and they had profound cultural heritage. Although Lili didnt really understand these details, and only knew that Chu Xiuhuangs twin sister was a somewhat well-known painter, Chu Xiuhuangs uncle was a calligrapher, and there was an aunt who had won many best actress awards. In short, in Nancheng, Chu family and other big families were almost known to everyone. Chu Xiuhuang, the eldest grandson, was extremely famous. He has always been high-profile, with his numerous affairs regularly in the news, simply as if he were a walking hormone. Lili quickly introduced, My name is Lili, and I am the host at Huanyu Media. Heres my card. As she spoke, she took out a pink scented card from her bag, trying to hand it over. Chu Xiuhuang didnt even glance at it. He turned around and walked back under the sunshade. Sitting on the recliner, wearing sunglasses, and crossing his legs. A waiter immediately came over to serve him. Lilis fingers awkwardly remained hanging in the air. How could this happen? Isnt it said that Chu Xiuhuang was promiscuous and didnt deny any woman? She believed she was beautiful with a perfect body shape, and Chu Xiuhuang didnt bring any women today. Lili quickly followed him, Mr. Chu! Chu Xiuhuang turned his head over impatiently. The result was A total eyesore! Buzz off! Chu Xiuhuang finally lost his patience. Lili thick-skinnedly walked over, Mr. Chu, dont be like this. Anyway, someone said that Mr. Chu is going to attend our companys annual gala. I dont know if I have the honor of going to the gala with Mr. Chu? Huanyu is the largest media company in Nancheng. They hold an annual gala inviting not only the many well-known celebrities of the entertainment circle but also well-known socialites. If she could attend the gala as Chu Xiuhuangs partner, walk the red carpet together, and get reported by the media, why would she worry about anything then? Maybe her career would soar straight to the top! Chu Xiuhuang, who was about to light his cigarette, stopped and suddenly asked, What gala? Yes, Mr. Chu, are you interested? Lili quickly sat down. Chu Xiuhuang arrogantly lifted his chin, Let me hear about it. Perhaps, he could bring Little Huanhuan with him at that time! ** Elsewhere, Shi Huan had been playing pool for a while and turned around to see. Chu Xiuhuang was sitting and chatting with Lili. The man was wearing sunglasses, holding a cigarette in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other. His expression was vague, but Lili had a big smile on her face, they seemed to be having a fun conversation. Indeed, the leopard cant change its spots. Deeply loving Mo Weiyi, but to other women, they all got a warm welcome? She was also constantly nagging her to be his girlfriend Shi Huan silently shook her head. Just then, the phone in her pocket rang. She immediately put down the pool stick, Wanwan, Ill go answer a call. Sure. Su Wanwan was having a blast there. Shi Huan took out her phone and walked towards the rest area. It was an unknown local number. She answered right away, Hello? Is this Miss Shi Huan? A clear voice, a rounded baritone, emitted from the speaker. This is she. Whos this? Hello. Im Wan Yiming, Yourans college classmate. Shi Huan was immediately speechless, Hi. Actually, are you busy right now? I sent you a message earlier but you didnt reply. So, I took the liberty to call you directly. I hope Im not disturbing you. As expected from a radio host, his voice was pleasant to listen to. Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: 637, Chu Er who eats dog food Chapter 637: 637, Chu Er who eats dog food Is it like this, are you busy right now? I messaged you on WeChat earlier but didnt receive a reply. So, I took the liberty to call you, I hope I did not disturb you. Indeed, as a radio host, his voice is very pleasant to listen to. Im outside and didnt pay attention to my phone, Shi Huan got straight to the point, Apologies, Mr. Wan. Actually, I added you on WeChat just to please the elders. I have no plans to date anyone right now. Ha ha, Wan Yimings laugh was full of cheerfulness, Miss Shi, isnt it too early to reject me? We havent even met face-to-face, and hardly talked. It will be quite awkward for me. Apologies, but I really have no intention Does Miss Shi have someone she likes? Youran told me you are single right now. If that is so, why dont we meet? Even if we cannot become a couple, we can still be friends. I agreed to Youran because she mentioned you are into investments, and I am planning to do the same, but I dont have any well-informed friends. The way Wan Yiming spoke was fluent and calm, not too loud nor too soft, radiating a steady aura. Clearly, he was a very well-mannered man. At last, he said, Lets do this, since you are busy, I wont disturb you any longer. Later on, we can chat in detail on WeChat. Goodbye. Goodbye. Finally hung up the call. Shi Huan took a sigh of relief. Secretary Shi. Suddenly, a male voice came. Shi Huan turned, Mr. Zhou. Zhou Tingzheng was holding a black golf club, smiling at her, Secretary Shi, why are you alone here? Would you like to practice together? Im sorry, Mr. Zhou, Im not very good at golf. Thats okay, I can teach you, Zhou Tingzheng immediately said. Shi Huan looked around and saw that Su Wanwan had already left in a golf cart with Huo Jingshen. As for Chu Xiuhuang, he was still having a heated chat with Lili. The womans bell-like laughter kept coming over. Secretary Shi? Zhou Tingzheng gestured, We have nothing else to do. Why dont you give it a try? Okay. Shi Huan could only walk over, But, Mr. Zhou, youll have to be patient with me, Im really not good at this. The beginners training area was empty except a few staff members. While Shi Huan was holding the club, suddenly a pair of greasy hands held hers. Zhou Tingzhengs voice was almost whispering in her ear, Secretary Shi, let me teach you how to hold it hands on the club, little fingers hooking onto each other Shi Huans eyebrows furrowed, she took a step forward to avoid his touch, Mr. Zhou, its okay, I Secretary Shi, why are you being so formal? I can teach you. Saying this, Zhou Tingzheng moved closer again, holding onto her. Mr. Zhou, what are you doing? Dont overthink, Secretary Shi. This is my phone. Shi Huan: When Zhou Tingzheng tried to get closer again, she had had enough. She picked up the club and swung it backward at full force. Ah! A bout of severe pain made Zhou Tingzheng take a step backwards, clutching himself, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. Shi Huan turned, Mr. Zhou, are you alright? Zhou Tingzheng gritted his teeth, No Its nothing. Shi Huan then said, Mr. Zhou, its better not to bring your phone while doing sports. You might accidentally hurt yourself. Zhou Tingzheng was speechless. Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang, hearing the scream, immediately stood up and rushed over, What happened? Shi Huan nonchalantly said, Nothing, Mr. Zhou is getting older and seems to have hurt himself just now. Zhou Tingzheng: Chu Xiuhuang squinted at Zhou Tingzheng. He hadnt been looking this way earlier, so he didnt know the specifics. Let me call 911 for you, Shi Huan said, picking up her phone and dialing, acting like she was genuinely concerned. Zhou Tingzheng was disgusted by her insincerity at the moment. This damn woman! She looks all innocent, but she is so brutal! That strike just now, it was like she was trying to waste him! Oh my God, Mr. Zhou, are you alright? Lili ran over, her chest bouncing. Zhou Tingzheng bore the pain and stood up straight, Hurry help me. Lili quickly held up his arm. They had only taken a few steps when they heard Shi Huan calling from behind, Mr. Zhou, the ambulance is on the way. Where are you going? Mr. Zhou? Help me get away quickly! Zhou Tingzheng was hysterical. Lili: When they finally hobble away, Shi Huan suppressed her laughter and put down her phone, Mr. Chu, since Mr. Zhou left, I will leave as well. What are you doing? Shi Huan looked at him, confused, The clients have all left. What else would I do here? She wasnt fond of golf. She wasnt good at it, and found it uninteresting unless it was for business. Most importantly, shes feeling very hungry now. She got up too early today and spent a lot of time driving around with little Luoluo, and its almost 2 in the afternoon and she still hasnt eaten. Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, Ill go with you. What about Mr. Huo and the others. Dont mind those two inseparable fellas. Chu Xiuhuang said and turned around. Shi Huan hurried to follow him. Just a few steps later, her phone rang again. This time it was a call from Tu Youran. Shi Huan glanced at it, thought for a moment, and put the phone on silent. * * The Shi familys residence. Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. Tu Youran put down her phone, her shapely eyebrows knitted together. Why is she not answering the phone? Could it be true, as told by Wan Yiming, that Shi Huan is busy outside? She went back to the living room, where only Qian Yulin was watching TV. Sister-in-law, wheres Luoluo? Qian Yulin said, Shes gone back to her room, probably sleeping. Alright, sister-in-law, Im also going back to my room. Ok. In the three-bedroom apartment, one of the rooms facing south was originally occupied by Shi Qingge. It remained vacant for years while she studied abroad and later Shi Minyan temporarily lived there when he returned. Tu Youran pushed the door open and immediately saw little Luoluo sitting on the couch with a small mobile phone in her hands. Luoluo! The sudden stern voice made little Luoluo tremble, and the small phone thud fell to the floor. She lifted her small head and called out timidly, Mom. Tu Youran closed the door and picked up the small phone from the ground, her voice seething with anger, questioning, Hasnt mom told you that youre not allowed to secretly play with a phone? Why didnt you listen to mom? Little Luoluo scrunches up her small face, Mom, Im sorry. You are not allowed to play with the phone anymore, did you hear that! Yes, I heard. Tu Youran still wasnt satisfied, and picked up the phone to take a look. In the WeChat conversation on the screen, the person she was chatting with was Shi Huan. An avatar of a sunflower against a background of blue sky and white clouds was extremely glaring. Tu Yourans fingers turned white and then blue from the force, finally, she strode forward, opened the window, and forcefully threw the phone outside. The phone smashed over the windowsill with a clang sound before falling down. Little Luoluo was terrified by this sound, her clear black and white eyes filled with panic and fear. A few seconds later, she couldnt hold back anymore and began to sob out loud. You dare to cry? What are you crying for! The sound of Tu Yourans angry words and the crying of the child rang out to the outside. What happened? What happened? Qian Yulin rushed into the room, Youran, whats going on? She plays with the phone behind my back every day, so I threw it away, and now she wants to throw a tantrum crying here! Little Luoluo cried hysterically with her little mouth wide open, tears pouring out, and her little body trembling non-stop, looking pitiful. Qian Yulins heart softened and she couldnt help but admonish, Shes just a kid, just being momentarily playful, youre going to scare her like this. Youre still crying! Moms going to spank you if you keep crying! WuuuDaddyDaddy Little Luoluo cried even harder. Soon after, Shi Minyan also came over from grandma Shis room. Seeing the situation, he immediately said, Sister-in-law, could you please help me take care of Luoluo. Sure. When Qian Yulin took the little girl away, Shi Minyan closed the door, turned around, his usually warm face now cold, Youran, whats going on? Luoluo is only five years old, do you always have to yell at her to discipline her? The reason Luoluo isnt close to you is because youre always so strict with her. You dont act like a mother at all! Not close to me? Then who is she close to? Is she close to Shi Huan? Tu Youran blurted out. Shi Minyans facial expressions shifted slightly. Luoluo just lived with her for a few months, and she bought her a violin, a cell phone, and gave her whatever she wanted every day, buying her over with money! As her mother, do I not even have the right to discipline her now? Tu Youran could barely control her emotions. She really had tolerated that childrens phone for a long time, every time she saw little Luoluo secretly contacting Shi Huan with it, she felt utterly annoyed. Are you truly disciplining her, or venting your own personal desires? What do you mean? Tu Yourans heart tightened abruptly. Does he know that years ago it was she who the child of Shi Huan Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: 638, the cell phone was bought for me by Huanhuan. Chapter 638: 638, the cell phone was bought for me by Huanhuan. Huanhuan is Luoluos older sister, she likes Luoluo, she treats her well, whats the problem with that? I dont understand why youre making a fuss over such a small issue, cant we all just get along as a family? Are you really that petty? Are you actually jealous? Tu Youran remained silent, but deep inside she felt relief. Shi Minyan continued, I know, when you were pregnant, the doctor kept telling you that you were having a boy. But when Luoluo was born and turned out to be a girl, you were disappointed, your parents werent happy, I get that. However, whether its a son or a daughter, theyre both my flesh and blood! I love Luoluo, if you really dont like her, leave her matters to me in the future, you dont have to bother! After saying so, he turned around to leave. Minyan. Tu Youran rushed forward, hugging him from the back and started to apologize softly, I was wrong, I really was, theres just too much going on at the new company lately, and they just called to have me work overtime tomorrow. Im really frustrated, and seeing Luoluo not listening to me, I took it out on her. I promise I wont do that again, I know I did wrong, Minyan, can you forgive me this time? The womans voice was soft and gentle. Shi Minyan frowned tightly, but his tone noticeably softened, If theres anything troubling you at work, talk to a friend about it. If that doesnt work, take a break and clear your mind. Dont take your frustrations out on our child, shes only five. This age is very sensitive, and we barely have time to spend with her due to our busy work schedules Tu Youran kept nodding her head until If it really doesnt work out, let Huanhuan take care of Luoluo. No, thats not an option! Tu Youran immediately rejected the idea. Shi Minyan said, You just started a new job, my company is still in its founding stages, our mother is old, my sister-in-law also needs to take care of Mom, and she has to go to France every now and then. Theres no one who can take care of Luoluo. I do, I have the time, Ill take care of Luoluo from now on. Huanhuan is almost 25, she has her own life, and mom already said we must find a suitable match for Huanhuan this year. We cant let Luoluo disturb her anymore, as her relatives, we cant be so selfish, right? Tu Youran looked sincere, Dont worry, I will be more patient with Luoluo from now on, Ive already found a new nanny. In a few days when school starts, Ill send and pick her up with the nanny. Minyan, trust me, I truly cant live without Luoluo, Minyan, Minyan Shi Minyan sighed, he could only agree, Okay. * * Outside, Little Luoluo had stopped crying. However, as soon as she saw Tu Youran, she immediately retreated into Qian Yulins arms and turned her small face away. Qian Yulin was holding her niece, constantly trying to soothe her. Luoluo. Tu Youran tried to appease her, Mommy was wrong, Mommy shouldnt have been so harsh on you, can you forgive Mommy? At this moment, shed returned to her gentle motherly image. Shi Minyan also came over to persuade, Luoluo, your mommy was just upset for a moment. You need to listen to her from now on, okay? Little Luoluo finally turned her head, but she said, Daddy, phone Tu Yourans fingers tightened suddenly. Shi Minyan immediately asked, Youran, wheres Luoluos phone? Tu Youran didnt say a word. Mommy threw it away. Little Luoluo began to sob again while tattling. The phone that Huanhuan bought for her was just thrown away. She was very sad. Alright, alright, dont cry, Daddy will take you to buy a new phone right now. Shi Minyan hurriedly consoled. No, no! Little Luoluo frantically shook her small head, choking back sobs, she explained, Huanhuans, the phone was bought by Huanhuan. Shi Minyan sighed inwardly. He glanced at his wife, Then, well let Huanhuan buy you a new one, okay? It has to be identical. Little Luoluo continued to cry. Okay, well have Huanhuan buy you an identical one. The sight of the tiny girl trying to hold back her tears was heart-breaking, Shi Minyan would agree to anything she asked at this moment. Wiping her tears, Little Luoluo finally nodded in satisfaction, Mm. ** Elsewhere. After changing clothes, Shi Huan followed Chu Xiuhuang to the car park at the entrance of the stadium. Mr. Chu, are we taking my car? Or Yours. Alright. Shi Huan immediately pulled out his car keys. As soon as they got into the car, his phone suddenly rang. After a glance at the caller ID, Shi Huan pursed his lips, but answered anyway, Hello? Huanhuan, where did you buy Luoluos phone? What happened? She lost her phone and insists on getting an identical replacement. Oh. Shi Huan replied, Then Ill buy her another one. How much is it, Ill transfer you the money. No need, its just a phone. For some reason, Shi Huan didnt like Tu Youran, but she really liked her little cousin-born from her. Maybe because Little Luoluo was too adorable? Moreover, that little girl was particularly well-behaved. Shi Huan felt that her relationship with Luoluo was similar to a line from the currently popular TV drama Life Is Nice, Even familial affection involves fate. She wasnt close to Old Lady Shi, Shi Qingge, or even her mother Qian Yulin. Only with this little girl did she have a particularly good rapport. During those months living together, Shi Huan was happy to spend more money on her; as long as she saw the little girl smiling, she felt incredibly happy and satisfied. Alright then, Ill need your help. No problem. After saying that, both fell silent, making the atmosphere over the phone awkward. As soon as Chu Xiuhuang looked over, Shi Huan quickly said, If theres nothing else, Ill hang up. Alright, go on with what you were doing. After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, Who were you on the phone with? My uncle. The one who got into fights and went to jail when he was younger? Chu Xiuhuang did not have a good impression of this youngest son of the Shi Family. He only remembered that when Shi Qingge was in trouble back then, Shi Minyan seemed to have caused a ruckus at a bar. As a weakling who couldnt even fight off a chicken, he wasnt good at fighting at all. After hitting someone on the head, he got beaten up himself, full of bruises, and was even put into jail for intentional injury. During that period, both the men from the Shi Family had suddenly passed away, leaving the family with no backbone. With the family fortunes declining, the situation was terrible. Yet, this Shi Minyan recklessly caused trouble without thinking of the consequences, he was absolute foolishness! Chu Xiuhuangs impression of him was that of a pampered, clueless, and incredibly silly poor little rich boy! Shi Huan hummed in agreement, and drove off. Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang took out a lighter, lit up a cigarette, and lowered the car window halfway. Squinting his eyes, he said, Go to Peace Road on the East Fifth Ring, the Lianjia Real Estate Agency. Okay. Without asking any further questions, Shi Huan quickly set up the navigation and drove off towards their destination. Approximately forty minutes later, Shi Huan parked the car, Mr. Chu, we are here. Chu Xiuhuang glanced over, Get out. Shi Huan was momentarily stunned, Mr. Chu, should I come too? Nonsense. Of course, you have to go; this concerns you. Chu Xiuhuang said, got out of the car and went his way. Shi Huan reluctantly followed suit and got out as well. Is Mr. Chu planning to invest in another shop front? Why didnt he mention it to her beforehand? Following Chu Xiuhuang into the real estate agency, a man in a suit quickly came over to greet them, Good afternoon, Mr. Chu. He then looked at Shi Huan, May I know who this is? Hello, I am Mr. Chus Before Shi Huan could finish her sentence, Chu Xiuhuang had already interrupted, She is the buyer. The buyer? Shi Huan was surprised, and before she could understand what he meant, the staff members eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically reached out his hands, Hello, hello. Shi Huan could only shake hands with him. Subsequently, the staff member led Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan into a conference room, and soon, a woman in a uniform came in and handed them a few contracts. This one is the purchase contract for Shi Jingyuan, and this one is As soon as she heard the name Shi Jingyuan, Shi Huan immediately looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Mr. Chu, are you buying the villa owned by the Shi family? Shi Jingyuan was indeed the old Shi estate, located at the intersection of Peace Road and Boyang Road in the eastern part of the city. It had been vacant and desolate for several years, even the locations landmarks had depreciated, so there was really no need for Chu Xiuhuang to buy such an old house for investment purposes. I am not buying. As soon as Chu Xiuhuang said this, Shi Huan was even more surprised. The next second. Youre buying it. Chu Xiuhuang said, curling his thin lips, raising his long eyebrows, with a smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze. However, Shi Huan frowned, What do you mean? I dont have that much money Ill pay for you. What? Chapter 639 - Chapter 639: 639, Luoluo is after all my daughter. Chapter 639: 639, Luoluo is after all my daughter. I went to find you on the first day of the New Year, when I learned that this house had been mortgaged six years ago. The real estate agent said your grandmother kept demanding a high price and wouldnt sell. So, I bought it. Chu Xiuhuang said with casualness that reflected his wealth. How much? Shi Huan asked instinctively. 30 million. That expensive? Shi Huan was surprised. Even though the price of land in Nancheng was prohibitive, a few years ago, this house would have cost only a few million at most. At that time, the Shi familys debt was 20 million. If this house had not been priced so high and had been sold at a lower price instead If it had been sold at a lower price, your familys debt could have been reduced considerably, and you wouldnt have had to work so hard for years. Do you understand now? Chu Xiuhuangs voice followed. Shi Huan didnt respond. But she felt an intense pang in her heart. Your grandmother, valuing so-called face above all else, while you toiled and labored tirelessly for five years to pay off Shi familys debts. Dont be a fool, Huan. Dont work yourself to death for the Shi family anymore. Its not worth it Stop! Shi Huan abruptly interrupted him. There were things she knew, but She didnt want to delve into it. After all, she was the granddaughter of the Shi family. No matter how strained the relationship, she couldnt sever these blood ties. While the Shi family was in trouble, both Shi familys Grandpa and eldest son had died, Shi Minyan was in jail, Grandmother was well over seventy, Qian Yulin didnt have a job, even Shi Qingge had gone to study in France Only she, the granddaughter, could take the responsibility of repaying the debts. She still vividly remembered what Grandma Shi said at the time. You havent done anything for the Shi family in more than a decade, now that the Shi family is in trouble, its time for you to step up! Remember who gave you life, who saved you from the orphanage, and who was killed by a car saving you! People are selfish, and Shi Huan sometimes felt she was too foolish. She had borne this heavy debt for five years, giving so much and receiving nothing in return. But having someone point it out to her face, made her feel uncomfortable. She felt like a fool Why dont you want me to speak. Chu Xiuhuang looked down at her and said pointedly, Do you think they took you back from the orphanage out of familial love? When all is well, they ignore you. When there is trouble, you are made to shoulder the responsibilities. This house, why didnt your grandmother want to sell it? If she had the slightest consideration for your hardships as her granddaughter, as an elder, she wouldnt be that heartless, and prioritize her so-called face, making you Before he could finish, Shi Huan had already turned around and ran out. Chu Xiuhuang stood there, surprised and chased after her. Mr. Chu, arent you going to sign the contract? The staff called out. Ill sign it when I come back. Chu Xiuhuang replied. When he rushed outside, he heard Vwoosh. A black Cayenne started off with breakneck speed. Chu Xiuhuang stood still, his handsome face turned dark, his eyebrows twitching irritably. This must be a race, right? It took him a while before he turned around and walked back into the agency. ** Shi Huan slowed down as she joined the main road. No matter how upset she was, she wouldnt play with her own life. Her stomach grumbled loudly. She was starving. She looked at the time. It was already three in the afternoon. Frowning, she decided to head home, but ended up stopping at a shopping mall near the housing community. After buying the childrens phone, it was already four oclock. Back in the car, she picked up her phone, intending to call Shi Minyan. However, Tu Yourans name appeared on the screen. Huanhuan, I just spoke to Yiming, he said you two have been in contact, is that right? Auntie, I Dont refuse right away. You havent even tried to get to know him yet, how do you know that Yiming isnt right for you? Give him a chance and give yourself a chance. Huanhuan, as your elder, I sincerely hope you can find your own happiness. These years havent been easy for you, due to the Shi familys debt, youve worked non-stop. But things are better now, Minyan and I are settled here in Nancheng, and the debt is almost paid off. You should also consider your own personal matters. Tu Yourans voice was gentle, and it was evident that she really cared. Shi Huan felt weary at heart, As Ive said, I really Tu Youran cut her off again, I know a pretty good psychologist, Huanhuan, how about I give you her contact and you have a chat with her? Fine. Shi Huan changed the subject, Speaking of which, Auntie, Ive bought a new phone for Luoluo. Will you be home tonight so I can drop it off? Dont bother! Tu Yourans refusal was swift and direct. Shi Huan was taken aback, Ill come over to you. I just happen to be out shopping. Oh, that would work too. Shi Huan didnt overthink it. After hanging up the phone, she drove straight home. She prepared some food quickly, and when she got halfway through her meal, there was a knock at her door. Shi Huan rushed to open it, Auntie. Tu Youran walked in with a smile, Do I need to change shoes? No need. In the first place, the house didnt have any extra slippers available, but whod have known Huanhuan, whose slippers are these? Tu Youran pointed to the pair of blue slippers by the shoe cabinet. They were mens slippers, could it be that Huanhuan, do you have a boyfriend? Tu Yourans expression suddenly changed. All this while she claimed she didnt want to meet men and even said she rejected them, and yet No. Shi Huan made light of it, These slippers belong to Chu Xiuhuang. So, you and him Dont have any relationship. He just comes over occasionally to discuss some business matters. Tu Youran: Shi Huan didnt elaborate further but quickly presented the new phone, This is the new phone I bought for Luoluo, its exactly the same as the previous one. Tu Youran had just received the phone Wait! Shi Huan then went to her bedroom. Tu Youran took the opportunity to scan the room. This was her first time visiting Shi Huans home. It was a small one-bedroom apartment, not too large, but quite comfortable for a single woman. The room was tidy and bright, and a large window along one wall was adorned with many green plants, even some small green onions and leafy vegetables, creating a very homely atmosphere. The living room furniture was rather plain, except for Tu Youran stared at the large couch. It was utterly out of place in the room, a huge cream-colored couch, really wide and large, a notorious international brand, worth at least two to three hundred thousand, right? This is Luoluos violin. Hearing the voice, Tu Youran quickly turned around. Shi Huan was holding an exquisite violin case, I forgot to ask my uncle to take it back last time. Luoluo has violin lessons in her school now, and schools opening soon, shell definitely need it. Tu Youran took it with a smile, Huanhuan, Im really sorry, how much does this violin and the mobile phone cost? Ill make a transfer to you now. Its not necessary, theyre not that expensive. How can it be not necessary? Luoluo has been living with you for several months, on top of those expenses, Ill need to give you her living expenses too. Living expenses? Shi Huan was speechless, No need, really. I quite like Luoluo. Besides, I am her sister, its fine for me to spend a bit. This makes me feel really bad. Yesterday, she was throwing a tantrum at home. This child is spoiled. Actually, Luoluo is very well-behaved, and these things I bought willingly, not because she demanded them. Please dont misunderstand. I know youre kind-hearted, but children shouldnt be spoiled like this. She has been spoiled in just a few months and has become so delicate. Will she not think of herself as a little princess in the future? Youre aware of our familys situation, your uncle just returned to the country and invested a huge sum in setting up the company again. Im just a lowly finance worker, and my parents have retired Shi Huan frowned, somewhat confused about what she was trying to say. I know you have done excellently in your work these years and must have earned a lot, but Luoluo is, after all, my daughter. Tu Youran smiled, So, in the future, please dont buy anything for her anymore, dont chat with her on WeChat either. Youre busy with your work, Luoluo wont bother you from now on, its better if you two dont meet anymore. Shi Huan bit her lip, Auntie, what do you mean? Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: 640, deliberately giving oneself away Chapter 640: 640, deliberately giving oneself away Huanhuan, Im not good at speaking. I just feel that you have been working too hard to take care of Luoluo recently, and Minyan also said that he hopes you will enjoy your life more in the future. Im really thankful to you, but when it comes to disciplining a child, it should still be left to us parents, dont you think? Also, Luoluo is still young, shes only five years old. She cant develop wasteful habits Auntie Tu. Shi Huan couldnt help interrupting her, If you think the things I bought for Luoluo are too expensive and could spoil her, I will control myself in the future. But, isnt it a bit too much to forbid me from meeting her? A momentary stiffness crossed Tu Yourans face. Perhaps she didnt expect that the usually gentle Shi Huan would rebuke her so straightforwardly. However, her voice remained gentle, and her posture was still elegant, Huanhuan, please dont be angry. I didnt mean anything else. Im just worried that Luoluo will develop bad habits. If Ive given you any misunderstanding, Im sorry. But please dont blame me. Theres a saying All parents are uneasy. I really have no other choice. After she finished speaking, she took a look at the time, Huanhuan, I still have things to do. Ill leave first so I wont delay your dinner. Alright. After Tu Youran left, Shi Huan closed the door and stood there, unable to recover for a long time. So, shes not allowed to see Luoluo anymore in the future? A sense of emptiness that she couldnt understand crept into her heart. It was even more heartbreaking than when she first found out that Shi Minyan was her real uncle. It was so heartbreaking that she had difficulty breathing. She thought back to the first time she met Luoluo. It was half a year ago. That was the day Shi Minyan and Tu Youran first came back to the country. She was also called back to the Shi Family house. She had to work overtime due to an emergency in the company, and by the time she arrived home it was already past seven in the evening. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a little girl seated in the corner of the sofa. With her little head drooping, she was holding a huge pink Peppa Pig doll in her hands. The adults in the room were all chatting, some even somewhat noisy, yet she was just there, curled up all by herself. She was silent, peaceful, unlike other kids her age. You only come back when youre begged, your uncle and aunt are home and you cant be bothered to come back earlier? You have no respect for your elders. You have absolutely no manners! Mrs. Shis scolding could be heard. Alright, Mum. He stopped his mother, looking at Shi Huan with a gentle gaze, Huanhuan, have you had dinner yet? Before Shi Huan could answer, Mrs. Shi started complaining again, Shes always eating out enjoying herself. She doesnt have time to care about me. If you werent back today, she wouldnt bothering coming home at all! She went on and on, scolding for a long time. Shi Huan didnt say anything until Mrs. Shi shouted again, Youve been in the house for a while. Havent you greeted anyone yet? Uncle, Auntie, Shi Huan immediately greeted. Huanhuan. Tu Youran got up with a smile, fetching a pink bag from the side, This is a gift for you. I didnt know what you liked, so I brought you a set of skincare products. Thank you, Auntie. Youre welcome. Tu Youran went on, This time Minyan and I came back to settle our house. We plan to move back next time. OK. Youran, how do I use this massage chair you got me? Mrs. Shi started shouting again. Tu Youran rushed over to teach Mrs. Shi. Shi Huan, holding the bag, took a look and sat down on a nearby sofa. The adults were trying out the massage chair, all smiles. Shi Huan took out her phone from her bag, just about to look at it when suddenly a small hand was stretched out in front of her. Soft and plump little paws, with short little fingers. They looked particularly cute. When she turned her head, she saw Little Luoluo raising her little head to look up at her. Her big eyes were bright and clear, with curled lashes and deep eyelids, she looked as pretty as a doll. Do you like Peppa Pig? Even her babyish voice was so adorable. Shi Huan wasnt particularly fond of children, let alone this Peppa Pig, but seeing the little girls cute and soft looks, she couldnt help but smile and nod her head, Yes. Can we play together then? Little Luoluo spoke, offering the toy in her arms to Shi Huan. Shi Huan was left speechless by the pink Peppa Pig. Before she could react, the little girl also leaned herself towards her. Her soft, boneless little body leaned on Shi Huan, bringing along a sweet milky scent ** On the other hand. Su Wenwen and Huo Jingshen stayed on the golf course until after four in the afternoon. After changing clothes, she got back into the car and called Mo Weiyi. After hanging up the call, she said, Lets go to Nangong Hospital. Okay. Without asking any further questions, Huo Jingshen drove off. At that time, at Nangong Hospital. After Mo Weiyi said goodbye, she saw Xiao Yebai hang up the phone and put it back in her small bag. A manly hand with clear bone structure was holding the womanly pink Channel handbag. Looking at her own hands, they were bandaged up like two rice dumplings. It was so inconvenient that even answering a phone call made her feel disabled. The two of them went to the burn unit where they consulted with an experienced senior doctor who, after a check-up, changed the medication and re-bandaged the wounds. Throughout the whole process, Mo Weiyi didnt dare to watch. Finally, when the bandaging was finished, she asked a bit worriedly, Doctor, are you sure there wont be any scars? Xiao Yebai glanced at her. No, Miss Mo, you can rest assured. You will need to come back every other day to have the bandages changed. Do not get them wet and as long as the wounds do not become infected, you will be fine. Hmm. Mo Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving the burn unit, she clung onto Xiao Yebais arm with her two wrapped paws and took the elevator up to the twentieth floor. Upon entering the sickroom, she unexpectedly saw Xu Jing. Yiyi, Yebai, youre here. Xu Jing was equally surprised when she saw them. She even stood up in a slight panic. Mo Weiyi looked at her, then at Mo Yaoxiong lying on the hospital bed. Mo Yaoxiong coughed twice, Why are you here at this hour? Mo Weiyi replied, Aunt Zhou hasnt finished cooking yet. Since I had nothing to do at home, I decided to come and see you. After that, she turned to Xu Jing, Aunt, when did you come? I just arrived too. Xu Jing quickly walked away saying, I will go put these flowers in a vase. She picked up a bunch of African daisies and started busying herself while keeping her back to everyone. Mo Weiyi thought her reaction was a bit odd. Why would someone visiting Mo Yaoxiong be so flustered? Did something happen? Just as she was about to inquire further, Mo Yaoxiong asked, Yiyi, how did you hurt yourself seriously? He looked at his daughters hands. He had thought it was just a minor burn, but to his surprise Its fine, the doctor said it would heal in a few days. And the little bitch who did this to me has already been taught a lesson. Mo Weiyi said this much. Mo Yaoxiong nodded, If its too much to bear, you can return to the Mo Family and do an internship. The Mo family has a legal department, your Uncle Liu can personally mentor you No, Ive already reported to Yurui. Once I get better, I will return to work. Mo Yaoxiong frowned, Then Ill talk to your Uncle Lu. Mo Weiyi pouted, Alright. In fact, there was no need for him to intercede. Anyone in the legal profession could find out about her situation by doing a simple background check. After a while, Su Wenwen and Huo Jingshen also came over. Originally, she intended to visit Mo Weiyi at Lishui Bay. Knowing that she was at the hospital and that Mo Yaoxiong was injured and also hospitalized, she simply decided to bring some gifts and visit them both together. The four of them lingered in the sick room for about half an hour as Xu Jing busied herself doing various chores like wiping the table, tidying up It wasnt until Aunt Zhou came to deliver dinner that Mo Weiyi got up, Dad, we need to go. Alright. Mo Yaoxiong turned to Huo Jingshen, Mr. Huo, take care. Huo Jingshen naturally responded with courtesy. Even though the business dealings between the Huo family and the Mo family were scarce, and there even existed some competition, the younger generation, represented by Huo Jingshen, was very respectful. Aunt. Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke up, Where are you staying now? Do you want us to drop you off on our way? No need. Xu Jing hurriedly refused, I still have some things to discuss with your father. What kind of things? Mo Weiyi asked instinctively. Could it be about Qu Yunyao again? This Xu Jing hesitated, her expression evasive. Mo Weiyi couldnt help but frown. But before she could probe further, Mo Yaoxiong quickly interjected, Yiyi, you and Yebai should go home first. Alright. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to agree. Once the two couples finally left, Mo Yaoxiong immediately dismissed Aunt Zhou, his face stern, Xu Jing, what were you doing just now? Were you deliberately exposing yourself in order to get Yiyi and Yebai suspicious? Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: 641, when you die, all troubles end. Chapter 641: 641, when you die, all troubles end. Xu Jing clenches her fingers, appearing restless, Brother-in-law, I didnt do it on purpose, I just didnt expect them to suddenly come over Enough. Mo Yaoxiongs tone was very impatient, What exactly do you need from me? Spit it out. Xu Jing looks at his face, carefully starting to speak, Brother-in-law, that night, everything happened so suddenly, you didnt take any precautionary measures. What do you mean? My period hasnt come recently, Im worried What did you say? Mo Yaoxiongs voice suddenly raised. Xu Jing quickly explained, But its only been less than a month now, so Im just worried, I thought I should let you know Why are you telling me this? Mo Yaoxiongs face tightened, Didnt you take the morning-after pill the day after? Why has it been so long, and only now you tell me you didnt take precautions! How would I know? Im already forty, I thought I wouldnt get pregnant so easily! Xu Jing also felt wronged. Mo Yaoxiong clenched his fists tightly, too angry to speak. Xu Jing continued, Im just worried now, so I wanted to tell you and prepare you mentally. If, and I mean if, I really am pregnant No! Mo Yaoxiong interrupted directly, Go to the gynecology department for a checkup now, if you are really pregnant, abort the child immediately! Looking at him, Xu Jings beautiful face turned white inch by inch, What did you say? What did I say? Do I need to teach you? Xu Jing, what did you promise me initially? You said youd treat this as if it never happened! I trusted you, but what are you doing? Dont forget, you are Xu Xians sister, and I am your brother-in-law! Do you want me to be the laughingstock for everyone? His voice was loud, and his forehead was bulging with veins. It was clear that he was very emotional, even angry. Xu Jing was scared and panicking, Brother-in-law, please calm down, Im just worried, its still not sure whether Im pregnant or not Get yourself checked immediately! And let me know the results! Hear me! Alright, brother-in-law, please dont be angry, Ill get a checkup right away. As she said, Xu Jing hurriedly picked up her bag, opened the door and walked out. Outside in the corridor, Auntie Zhou, hearing the door open, hurriedly turned around, Ms. Xu. Xu Jing gave a nod and left in a hurry. Returning to the room and seeing Mo Yaoxiongs angry look, Auntie Zhou carefully said, Sir, whats You go first. But, dinner Just leave it here, Ill eat it later. Okay. Auntie Zhou could only agree. The door closed. Mo Yaoxiong sat alone on the bed, his thick eyebrows locked tightly together. At this moment, he really hated his habit of drinking! Why did he drink that night? Why did he leave in such a hurry the next morning? If Xu Jing was really pregnant Mo Yaoxiongs body leaned back onto the pillow abruptly, squinting his sharp eyes, his expression was terribly distressed. After an unknown amount of time, his phone finally rang. Mo Yaoxiong quickly picked up his phone. Upon seeing the message on the screen, his facial features tensed again. Finally, he raised his hand abruptly. Crack! The phone was thrown onto the floor, shattering instantly. ** At the hospital entrance, two Bentley cars went their separate ways. Its strange. How did auntie know that my dad was injured? Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, her adorable face scrunched up in confusion. She had already told Xiaoli and Auntie Zhou not to let her grandfather, old Mr. Mo, know about Mo Yaoxiongs injury. This meant nobody at the old house knew, so who let the cat out of the bag? Xiao Yebai quietly drove the car, his black eyes slightly narrowed, not speaking. Mo Weiyi quickly spoke again, Shes always so secretive. I bet shes going to ask my dad for help with Qu Yunyaos matter. I bet its about money! Her phone suddenly rang. Xiao Yebai glanced at it, picked out her phone from her bag with one hand. As Mo Weiyi waited with bated breath, he swiped and ended the call, placing the phone back in. Who was the call from? Wrong number. Xiao Yebais expression didnt falter. Really? Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow. Xiao Yebai cast a cursory glance, Dont trust me? Uh.. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, instantly broke into a glistening smile, So what are we having for dinner? What do you want to eat? Mo Weiyi said, Auntie Zhou is still at the hospital and probably wont be back for an hour, so shall we go to Dihong? I havent had their steak in a long time. Okay. ** On the other end of the phone call. On the corridor of the teaching building at Nancheng University, Ling Zhizhou hung up his phone. After a while, he couldnt resist dialing another number. The call was quickly picked up with a cold voice on the other end asking, Whats the matter? Was it again you who arranged the assault on Weiyi? Ling Zhizhou directly questioned. Ive been on a trip to Vietnam recently, just got back. Youre not lying to me? Contrary to his agitation, the man on the phone remained calm, Whats wrong with Miss Mo? Ling Zhizhou was still a bit doubtful, Weiyis hand got burned, are you sure you had nothing to do with it? Do you think that, like you, I would stoop to such childish tricks? Color alternated between red and white on Ling Zhizhous handsome face, I hope so. Hehe. The man laughed eerily, Since youre so concerned about her, Ill be magnanimous and let her rest for a while. The call was abruptly hung up. Ling Zhizhou, holding his phone, thought for a while before deciding to send a WeChat message to Mo Weiyi. ** Dihong Restaurant. A luxury western-style restaurant under the Mo Group, located in the commercial district of downtown Nancheng City. Enjoying a great reputation in Nancheng due to its Michelin-starred chefs. At seven in the evening, the restaurant was crowded with customers. However, when Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi entered, they still drew several glances and caught the attention of many. The manager personally stepped forward to greet them, Mr. Xiao, Miss Mo, please come this way. They followed the manager to a private room. The order was taken quickly, and the food was served promptly. Mo Weiyi, waiting to be fed with two bear paw buns in her hands, saw Xiao Yebais phone suddenly ring. He glanced at it, put down his chopsticks, I need to take this call outside. Ah? Mo Weiyi looked pitiful, Whos calling? He had to take the call outside! Xiao Yebai responded casually, Do you need me to call for a waiter to come in? No, no! Mo Weiyi quickly refused. Being fed by a waiter would be awkward. Just come back to feed me quickly after the call. Okay. Wait a moment. Mo Weiyi stopped him, Can you get my phone for me? Xiao Yebai found her phone and placed it on the table before leaving. Mo Weiyi quickly unlocked the screen, but realised. Huh, the call record from earlier in the car was gone! Upon opening WeChat, she saw a message from Ling Zhizhou sent half an hour ago and rolled her eyes in silence. As expected, he hung up as soon as he saw Ling Zhizhous call. That Xiaobai! ** On the corridor, Xiao Yebai answered the phone, Hello. Yebai, its me. Xiao Yebai didnt reply. On the other end of the phone, Xiao Depeng began to complain, Yebai, Ive really failed this time. I never expected this surefire business deal to fall through! Yebai, you must help me this time. If you dont help me, Im done Whats the reason this time? I genuinely wanted to run a good business. Id already secured the factory and purchased the machinery. But then, Uncle Zhou abruptly disappeared. Now, all the workers are coming to me for their wages and the bank and loan sharks are after me Theres nowhere to hide, Yebai. Please help me. You must help me this time. Where did you get the investment money? Xiao Yebais tone remained calm. I Xiao Depeng was at a loss for words. If I remember correctly, you paid a visit to the Mo Familys old house. Xiao Yebai repeated, Who gave you the money to invest? Yebai, I really cant say. I promised not to tell. A man ought to keep his word. Please help me this time. Im really out of options, Yebai. If you dont help me, Ill be driven to my death Then you might as well die. Death solves all problems. The mans voice was cold and calm, almost icy, devoid of any sentiment. After saying this, he didnt wait for a response and just hung up the call. Back to the private room. Xiao Yebai had already resumed his refined and elegant demeanor. Hearing the door open, Mo Weiyi panicked and quickly closed the WeChat app by touching the screen with her fingertip. Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: 642, the young version of Cowherd and Weaver Girl Chapter 642: 642, the young version of Cowherd and Weaver Girl Upon hearing the door open, Mo Weiyi scrambled, quickly shutting down the WeChat program on her phone with her fingers. She looked up to see Xiao Yebai watching her. His dense peach blossom eyes, through his glasses, appeared somewhat indifferent. The way he was looking down at her seemed to penetrate through all her facades. Mo Weiyis heart wavered. She blinked her beautiful cat eyes, feigning a soft voice, Xiaobai, Im hungry, can you help me slice the steak? Two servings of steak had already been delivered to the table. Xiao Yebai looked away and lightly responded, Sure. He sat down, and with his slender and fair fingers, he picked up the knife and fork and started to cut the delicious beef steak for her. He was about to feed her a slice. Wait a minute, Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, Is it inconvenient to feed me from this distance? Xiao Yebai looked at her without a word. Hehe, Mo Weiyi walked right up to him, Lift your hand. Realizing what she was about to do, Xiao Yebai arched an eyebrow. His lips curled into a subtle smile as he complied, lifting his hand. So Mo Weiyi unhesitatingly sat down on his lap, her arms coiled around his neck. Isnt this more convenient? Falling into her rhythm, Xiao Yebai used his fork to cut a piece of steak and brought it to her mouth. Mo Weiyi bit down on it. Yes. Indeed, it was more convenient this way. He continued to feed her piece by piece. Inside the private dining room, no one else could see them or interfere with their intimate display. After eating nearly all of it, Mo Weiyi licked her lips, Xiaobai, I want some yogurt. Xiao Yebai put down the knife and fork, picked up a cup of yogurt from the side, and spooned a mouthful for her. He was feeding her when Xiaobai? Mo Weiyi looked at him. Her man was unwaveringly staring at her mouth, not moving his hand. She instinctively moved to wipe her mouth, but her wrist was quickly seized. Its okay. Xiao Yebai still kept looking at her lips, reddened, with a hint of white yogurt Theres some yogurt. He said. Mo Weiyi: The next second, the mans face came pressing down. Mo Weiyis eyes widened in surprise. This Xiaobai! He was supposed to be feeding her, so why did it turn out like this? Recently, Xiaobai has become more and more daringly flirtatious! Afterwards, his distinct fingers wiped her mouth with a napkin, as if nothing had happened. Mo Weiyi was still wondering, was there a need to wipe her mouth again? Really. Afterward, she got up and sat back to the side. If the two continued like this, who knows when they would finish their meal Hands held up, she watched her husband eat with a satisfied smile. The way the man ate was always leisurely and civilized, just watching him eat was pleasing to the eyes. They were only finished with dinner after so much procrastination, and it was already over eight in the evening. As they got up to leave, they had only taken a few steps when a familiar voice rang out from behind. Yebai. Tian Ye had just come out of the bathroom when she saw the two of them emerging from their private room. Almost immediately, she shouted his name. By the time she came to her senses, it was too late. The two stopped in their tracks and turned to look at her. Xiao Yebais gaze was indifferent, showing no sign of emotion. Conversely, Mo Weiyi immediately curled her lips into a smile. She delicately removed her hand from Xiao Yebais arm and walked over to Tian Ye. Miss Tian, how coincidental to meet here. Are you dining? Tian Ye nervously intertwined her fingers, retracting her gaze from Xiao Yebai, Miss Mo. Youre not dining alone, are you? Mo Weiyi arched an elegant eyebrow. Even though Tian Ye was a good-looking exchange student with a difficult family situation, she always dressed luxuriously and lived lavishly. Mo Weiyi was always curious about who the man behind her was. Could it be that they were having dinner here today? Tian Ye didnt deny it, Im dining with a friend. Would you like to introduce us? Theres no need to introduce her, right? Tian Ye said, glancing at Xiao Yebai, My friend is waiting for me, Yebai, Miss Mo, Ill leave first. Mo Weiyi didnt stop her and calmly watched her leave. After Tian Ye entered a private room, Mo Weiyi turned to the manager, Miss Tian is my husbands classmate. Her meal is on us. Yes, Miss Mo. Only then did Mo Weiyi, go back and hook her arm around Xiao Yebais. Xiaobai, arent you curious who Tian Ye is having dinner with? Xiao Yebai responded calmly, If youre curious, you can go and check. Theres no need for that, she was acting so suspicious just now, I can guess its no good person, probably some old man. Xiao Yebai: Despite what he said, once Mo Weiyi returned home, he immediately called Rong An. Half an hour later, Rong An sent a WeChat message. [The woman who had dinner with Tian Ye this evening is called Lin Lin.] Mo Weiyi raised his eyebrows. Its really a woman? What a disappointment. Over the next few days, Mo Weiyi would go to the hospital every other day to change his dressing and visit Mo Yaoxiong. Apart from that, he spent peoples time at home recovering. His days were monotonous and boring. One day, Su Wanwan sent a message in the group chat, [Huanhuan, are you coming to Wellington Primary Schools opening ceremony today?] Shi Huan: [I cant go.] Su Wanwan: [Alright then, I was hoping we could have a meal with Fu Ziyang and Little Luoluo.] Shi Huan: [] ** Wellington Primary School. The lower grades in prestigious schools start later, but the opening ceremonies are grand. Su Wanwan attended the ceremony with Huo Jingshen to accompany Fu Ziyang. After the New Year, Fu Qi started working at the cultural bureau under Huo familys recommendation. It was a workday today so she couldnt come, saving Su Wanwan the trouble. At 9 oclock in the morning, the schools small auditorium was already packed. Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen sat together, with Fu Ziyang in the middle. At first glance, they looked like a beautiful family of three. The ceremony was scheduled to start at nine oclock. Almost all the seats around were taken, but they still had not seen Little Luoluo. Auntie, when is Luoluo coming? asked Fu Ziyang. I dont know, lets wait a bit longer. Fu Ziyang pursed his little mouth and could only continue to wait expectantly. Finally Luoluos here! The little boys voice was full of excitement. He even stood up and kept waving his little hand, Luoluo, here, here. Well, they hadnt seen each other for a whole winter break, they are indeed like the young version of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl! With a suppressed smile, Su Wanwan cleared up the bag and coat on the seat next to them. She saved a seat for his girlfriend, how thoughtful. Upon hearing the voice, Little Luoluo happily ran all the way here, followed by a woman. She appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in professional attire, with a gentle and elegant demeanour. She must be Luoluos mother, right? Su Wanwan took a closer look and found that The mother and daughter did not look alike at all, their facial features were different. It seemed that Little Luoluo must look like her father! Fu Ziyang! Little Luoluo ran over gasping for breath, and greeted them happily, Hello uncle, hello sister. Huo Jingshen: Uncle? Su Wanwan, however, smiled, Luoluo, why did you ignore Ziyangs WeChat messages? Little Luoluo seriously explained, My mother confiscated my phone. Tu Youran felt a bit awkward. With a light cough, she sat in the seat next to her and said, Hello. Hello, Su Wanwan greeted her back and continued chatting with Little Luoluo, Ziyang said youve accepted his red envelope. Little Luoluo tilted her little face and looked blank, Red envelope? What red envelope? Tu Youran instantly became even more embarrassed. Huo Jingshen also coughed twice and whispered, Stop talking, watch the show. His wife really had no sense of emotional intelligence! Oh. Su Wanwan obediently agreed, but She immediately got up, Ziyang, lets swap seats. Fu Ziyang naturally agreed and quickly swapped seats with his auntie. So, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen sat together, and Fu Ziyang sat with Little Luoluo. Watching the little guys blushing and shy look, Su Wanwan felt satisfied. The ceremony was to last for an hour. After that, parents need to accompany their children to the classroom. But not long after, Tu Yourans phone rang. She took a call, then picked up her bag, Luoluo, Mom has to go to the company, can you go to the classroom by yourself later? Yes. Little Luoluo agreed in her childish voice. Tu Youran stood up, nodded at Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, and hurriedly left. Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: 643, Chu Er and Lu Lawyer eating a couples meal, such a show off. Chapter 643: 643, Chu Er and Lu Lawyer eating a couples meal, such a show off. The opening school ceremony had ended, and it was already after 10 am. Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan brought the two children into the classroom and, along with other parents, were standing around listening to the teacher speak. When everything was over, Huo Jingshen looked at the time, Lets have lunch. Okay. Su Wanwan took half a day off today, just enough time to have lunch and then head to the TV station in the afternoon. Looking at how cute the two little ones looked sitting side by side, and remembering that Tu Youran had already left, Su Wanwan suggested, Why dont we invite Luoluo to join us for lunch? Huo Jingshen was noncommittal, raising an eyebrow, We can do that. Su Wanwan then immediately rushed into the classroom, Ziyang, would you like to invite your classmate to have lunch with us? Fu Ziyang blinked his large, grape-like eyes, quickly turned his small head and asked, Luoluo, would you like to have lunch with me? Little Luoluo was stunned: So was Su Wanwan: This Fu Ziyang! Hes becoming more and more adept at charming girls! ** Su Wanwan was expecting to grab a quick lunch at a place like Pizza Hut. After all, children love that stuff. Yet In the end, Huo Jingshen drove them to Xiaoyes Garden. To be honest, it was quite far from the school. Although school didnt start until 2 p.m. Once in the restaurant, a waiter quickly came up to greet them, Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo. Looking at the two adorable little ones, the waiter was surprised. He had not heard that Mr. and Mrs. Huo had children! Werent they just married for half a year? Moreover, these two little ones are very beautiful, especially the little boy, who looks quite like Mr. Huo. In the private room, the waiter handed over a tablet. The first thing Huo Jingshen asked was, Do you have a couples meal today? The waiter immediately nodded with a smile, Yes, we have added a new couples meal today, would you like to order one? Sure. Huo Jingshen said, then ordered a few more dishes, before turning to Fu Ziyang, Ziyang, what do you guys want to eat? Fu Ziyang had already sat down, a napkin carefully tucked in his collar, and he had a spare napkin ready to tuck for little Luoluo. Upon hearing this, he immediately opened his mouth, I also want a couples meal. The waiter: Su Wanwan: Little Luoluo was also confused. What is a couples meal? Huo Jingshens eyebrows twitched slightly, Why would a child want a couples meal? Hes too precocious! Fu Ziyang: He pursed his lips, didnt say another word, and continued to help Little Luoluo tuck in her napkin. Do you have a childrens meal? Fu Ziyang: Still silent. We do, Mr. Huo. Relieved, Huo Jingshen added, Two identical childrens meals, please. Okay. Fu Ziyang quickly curved his lips in a small smile. He was satisfied. But Su Wanwan was curious, They have a couples meal here? Is it good? She had been to Xiaoye Garden many times but never knew they had a couples meal. Huo Jingshen gave her a sidelong glance, Are you dumb? Dont you know what today is? What day is it? Su Wanwan really didnt know. Huo Jingshen: Su Wanwan looked at him, busily pulled out her phone, and checked. March 14th. What was significant about March 14th? It wasnt until she checked her social media feed and saw Ye Qitians post. [Today is White Day, any pretty girls want to send me chocolates and roses?] Uh. Su Wanwan was dumbfounded. No wonder it was a couples meal, and Fu Ziyang even wanted to have it too. She instantly put down her phone, picked up the cup in front of her, Honey, happy Valentines Day. Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, picked up his glass, clinked it against hers coolly, Yeah. As he spoke, the waitress began serving the meal. First, the appetizer, then the main course, the side dishesand so on. Each looked delicate and delicious, just looking at them made your mouth water. After the couples meal was served, Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwans plate and using his slender and good-looking fingers, began cutting the food into bite-sized pieces for her. Su Wanwan coughed twice. She actually wanted to say it wasnt necessary, but Well, since its Valentines Day, let him show off a little bit. Luoluo, let me help you cut. Fu Ziyang also chimed in. Seeing Uncle Huo being so gentlemanly, the little guy couldnt hold back. The chicken strips in the childrens meal didnt need cutting, the noodles didnt need cutting, and as for the mini pork chops They were easy to cut. So Fu Ziyangs actions looked quite authentic. Two little hands held the knife and fork, his expression serious and focused, and his movement was quite elegant. Wow Su Wanwan was completely stunned on the side. Its no surprise given that you grew up in the United Kingdom, just like your charming Uncle Huo. With everything set, Fu Ziyang lifted the plate and placed it before Little Luoluo, Luoluo, you can eat now. Little Luoluo thanked him in a babyish voice, Thank you, Fu Ziyang. Youre welcome. Huo Jingshen also placed the plate before Su Wanwan, Baby, you can eat now. Thank you, hubby. Su Wanwan obligingly replied. Little Luoluo gave her a look, and somehow, her white, tender cheeks turned slightly red. She looked extremely adorable. Just as Su Wanwan was about to start eating, the room door was knocked twice, and then. Well, well, well. The indifferent voice of Chu Xiuhuang echoed, followed by. Damn, isnt this my sister-in-law? With that, he immediately put out the cigarette in his hand. Sister Little Luoluo was about to call Sisters husband when she remembered Shi Huans words and changed her greeting to, Hello, Uncle. Uncle? Werent you supposed to call me Brother-In-Law? Are you being disobedient again? Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, showing his dissatisfaction. Little Luoluo earnestly explained, Huanhuan said youre Uncle. Speaking of Huanhuan, it reminded her that she hadnt seen Huanhuan for a long time. Chu Xiuhuang: This damn woman! Uncle, wheres Huanhuan? Little Luoluo asked again. Oh, shes at work at the company, said Chu Xiuhuang, drawing closer and saying, Its fine if you dont call me Brother-In-Law. You can call me Big Brother, alright? Be a good girl. Say it once and Ill send you a red envelope. The others were left dumbfounded by his audacity. Little Luoluo pursed her lips, But mum took my phone. That is to say: She cant receive the red envelope. The bribery wouldnt work. Chu Xiuhuangs mouth twitched uncontrollably. God, its so hard to deceive kids these days. He straightened up and took a casual look at the table, What the heck are you eating? When did he not know that his own restaurant started offering suchsymmetrical meals? Huo Jingshen lifted his eyelids, Did you come here alone to eat? No, the fourth brother is also here. Huo Jingshen pulled a slight grimace, blatantly showing the guest out, Then you can leave now. I was planning to leave anyway, Chu Xiuhuang finished, and then couldnt resist asking again, And what were you eating? Su Wanwan kindly said, Couples set meal. Chu Xiuhuang: ** Returning to the partitioned room next door, sure enough, Lu Chenyu was still ordering food. This guy! As a home-loving man who loved to delve into cooking, he was quite health-conscious and seldom ate in restaurants. Even if he did come, he would generally only drink and not eat. If he did have to eat, his ordering would be very meticulous. Very picky, with so many questions. Is this organic? Has that been treated with pesticides? When were the ingredients shipped? How many days were they kept refrigerated? All these weird questions and more. Chu Xiuhuang sat down and lit a cigarette for himself, Hurry up, cant you be a bit faster? Lu Chenyu took a look at him, You could go for another walk. Chu Xiuhuang: This damn guy! The server, perhaps also a little impatient, gently coughed as a reminder, Mr Lu, today is White Day. We have a new dish, a couples set meal. Lu Chenyus brows moved slightly, his finger hovering motionless on the tablet. Chu Xiuhuang immediately spoke up, Fine, well have the couples set meal. Lu Chenyu put down the tablet, .Okay. The server was instantly turned speechless. Young master Chu actually brought attorney Lu to eat the couples set meal at the restaurant! And this was happening on the White Day! What a stroke of genius! Looks like the CP fans have a fresh batch of sugar to enjoy. ** After finishing lunch, Huo Jingshen drove the two little ones back to school. As soon as they stepped into the classroom, the little, chubby Wang Xiaobo rushed over, Where have you two been? He didnt see them the whole noon! Wang Xiaobo was very angry! Fu Ziyangs cherubic face remained calm as he responded, I took Luoluo for lunch. Wang Xiaobo: He was struck hard! He immediately roared, Why didnt you call me? Arent the three of us good friends? Shouldnt we have lunch together?! Fu Ziyang then coolly stated, Luoluo and I had a couples set meal. Little Luoluo was confused: Werent they just eating a childrens meal? As for Wang Xiaobo: His young heart felt as if it had sustained a ten thousand ton damage! Chapter 644 - Chapter 644: 644, was Chu Er taken away by a goblin? Chapter 644: 644, was Chu Er taken away by a goblin? Xiaoye Garden, private room. After lunch, the dishes were cleared away by the waitstaff. Chu Xiuhuang, with his leg crossed, squinted his enchanting phoenix eyes that had been reddened by alcohol. With his slender finger, he lit a cigarette and started to puff away. Lu Chenyu, on the other hand, brought out his briefcase and retrieved his laptop. With a few simple operations, he moved the laptop in front of Chu Xiuhuang. Chu Xiuhuang exhaled a puff of smoke, Its ready so quickly? Lu Chenyu responded calmly, I dare not delay. Chu Xiuhuang: After glancing at his best buddy, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly asked, Did Little Princess go back to her internship? Probably not. Lu Chenyu answered in an indifferent manner. On her first day of internship, the princess, who was accustomed to being pampered, was scalded and sent to the hospital. How would she bear such humiliation? And indeed, she hadnt shown up at the law firm for ten days. Lu Chenyu thought this was good, after all, with such a figure in the law firm, how could others continue to work? They were overwhelmed just being on tenterhooks every day. Tsk tsk tsk. Chu Xiuhuang looked at the computer screen, Little Princess is injured like this, and you, her master, dont even go to see her? Show some concern? Lu Chenyu chuckled, Im afraid of getting hit. This time, Chu Xiuhuang burst out laughing. From childhood to adulthood, Lu Chenyu had always been a delicate young master. After becoming a lawyer, he advocated peace and flattery. His principle of conduct was: Argue if you can. Dont use force! This was completely contrary to his own temperament, which was to take action at the smallest disagreement. Perhaps exactly because they were so different, the two became the best of friends. ** Huangyou Investment. When Chu Xiuhuang returned to the company and passed by the secretarys office, he glanced inside. Shi Huans seat was at the front, that is, close to the door. So, he saw the woman, wearing glasses, busy at work at first glance. His phoenix eyes narrowed even more. The young master Chu was not happy. Master Chu. The assistant Xiaoliu greeted respectfully as he came out of the conference room and saw Chu Xiuhuang. Hearing the voice, Shi Huan hesitated for a moment, raised her head, and stood up. Master Chu, do you need anything? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face was cold, and his voice was colder. Come here. After saying this, he arrogantly strode into his office. Shi Huan hurriedly grabbed her notebook and followed. Once in the office. Chu Xiuhuang sat behind his black office desk, raising his noble chin. Glasses. Glasses? Shi Huan was stunned for a moment before reacting. She quickly took off her glasses. Chu Xiuhuang: What the hell. She presents one face to the public and another behind peoples back? This woman whos obsessed with money! Master Chu, did you need anything? Shi Huan asked again. Chu Xiuhuang exhaled deeply, suppressing the unhappy feelings in his chest. He raised his hand, pushing a contract in front of Shi Huan. Shi Huan picked up the contract and gasped, Master Chu, did you really buy Shi Jingyuan? Yes. Shi Huan frowned. Does Master Chu have too much money to spend? 30 million yuan! Moreover, Shi Jingyuan had been on sale for several years without any buyers. Firstly, because the price was indeed too high. Secondly, from an investment perspective, buying such a property is not a smart choice. The next second. Give them to you. Huh? Shi Huan was even more shocked. Master Chu, stop joking. Am I joking? Chu Xiuhuang cocked an eyebrow, I told you I would give it to you the other day. I always keep my promises. Shi Huan: She flipped through the contract, looked at the amount, and once again saw the extravagance of Master Chu. The last time it was nearly 90 million yuan worth of jewelry, and this time it was a 30 million yuan villas estate. He really doesnt treat money as money. Arent you touched? Chu Xiuhuangs voice suddenly sounded. And it was very close. A strong smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke wafted over. Shi Huan only felt a thump in her heart, quickly raised her head and looked at the handsome and delicate face before her, as well as the obviously red colors in those long, narrow phoenix eyes. She immediately took a big step back. She said seriously, Master Chu, I cannot accept this. What do you mean? Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face immediately darkened. I have my own house. I know you have a house, but this is the Shi Familys property. Chu Xiuhuang patiently explained, I bought it to give it to you. Why? Why, dont you know? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was very ambiguous, and after speaking, he took another step forward, the smell of alcohol perfuming the air again. Shi Huan quickly stepped back. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue. He had drunk a bit too much earlier and now his head was throbbing with pain. Seeing her react as if he was some venomous creature, his displeasure grew and he blurted a swear word. What the hell are you backing up for? Shi Huan was taken aback, Mr. Chu, dont get so close. Whats wrong, are you shy? Chu Xiuhuang said, a gleam in his handsome, narrow eyes as he watched her petite face. Her black hair was smooth and shiny, highlighting her delicate and pale cheeks. Her skin seemed fine and soft to touch. Just looking at it, he felt the urge to pinch her. In fact, he was just about to do it, reaching out his hand whenC Suddenly. Ring The office landline rang out of the blue. Shi Huan hastily put down the contract and turned to leave. Mr. Chu, you go ahead and pick up the call. I need to get back to work. Before leaving, she even courteously closed the door behind her. Chu Xiuhuang, in irritation, picked up the phone, Speak up! The receptionist was initially too frightened to speak and after a while, she finally stuttered, Mr. Chu, Miss Guo is here to see you. She says she has an appointment. I dont know her! Dont let her in! Having said that, Chu Xiuhuang directly hung up. ** Downstairs. The receptionist put down the phone, Sorry, Miss Guo, Mr. Chu has no visitors. Guo Lili wrinkled her beautifully arched eyebrows, Wheres the secretary, Shi? Isnt Secretary Shi here either? Miss Guo, Ive tried to call Secretary Shi earlier, but no one picked up. She may not be in the company. Guo Lili pouted, But I really had an appointment with Mr. Chu. Could you please check again for me? I really need to discuss something important with him. Sorry, Miss Guo, its really not possible, please go back. Guo Lili stood there, feeling quite unwilling to leave. That day at the golf course, Mr. Chu had an enjoyable conversation with her, why wouldnt he meet her now? The receptionist saw her unwillingness to go away, furrowed her eyebrows, but really stopped caring. It wasnt the first time a woman tried this tactic to meet Mr. Chu, so she let her be, knowing shell give up soon once she lost patience. Stubbornly, Guo Lili chose a spot by the side to sit and wait. She didnt believe Chu Xiuhuang would remain in his office all day! Sure enough, within half an hour, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached hastily. Guo Lili looked up excitedly and stood, Secretary Shi, Secretary Shi! Shi Huan stopped, Who are you? Im Lili, we met at the golf course that day, dont you remember me? Guo Lili flirted. Oh, hello. Seeing that Shi Huan recognized her, Guo Lili was quite pleased, Is Mr. Chu upstairs? I want to go see him. We have an appointment. Really? Shi Huan didnt give it much thought, Then just let the receptionist take you upstairs. Im sorry, but I have urgent business to attend to. Excuse me. Alright, goodbye, Secretary Shi. Once Shi Huan left, Guo Lili hurried to the reception desk, Did you hear that? Secretary Shi asked you to take me to see Mr. Chu. The receptionist had no choice but to stand, Alright. ** Upon reaching upstairs and exiting the elevator, they approached the office door. The receptionist knocked on the door. There was no response. Guo Lili asked, Whats wrong? It seems like Mr. Chu is not here. Then Ill go in and wait. After Guo Lili finished speaking, she immediately reached out and pushed the door open. The receptionist wasnt quick enough to stop her. Just as she suspected, the large office was empty. Guo Lili sat down on the sofa, Okay, you can go now. The receptionist gave her a glance and then left. Guo Lili sat there, passing the time on her phone while waiting. However, after waiting for almost 20 minutes, Chu Xiuhuang still hadnt returned. She furrowed her eyebrows, standing up intending to ask somebody outside, only to notice that the door to the nearby lounge was left ajar. Joy flashed in her eyes and she rapidly approached the room. Upon opening the door and looking in, sure enough, Chu Xiuhuang was lying on the bed, asleep. His eyes were closed, his lashes long, his delicate features calm and his face slightly flushed. Moving closer, a strong scent of alcohol wafted to her. He must have been drinking at noon? So, he was drunk now? Was this her golden opportunity? Guo Lili was ecstatic, she didnt think twice, starting to unbutton her clothes. Then, she lifted a corner of the down comforter, and crawled into the bed. Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: 645, finally free again? Chapter 645: 645, finally free again? On the other side, Shi Huan hurriedly left the company. By the time she arrived at the hospital, the old lady Shi had already been sent to the ward. Huanhuan, youre here. In the corridor, Qian Yulin explained, A real estate agency just called to say that our old house has been purchased. Your grandmother was so happy that she fainted from excitement. Shi Huan: Your grandmother listed the house for 30 million. I didnt expect a nouveau riche who doesnt know the market to buy it. Shi Huan again: But regardless, the house is sold now, Huanhuan. You have been working so hard to pay off the debts these past years. Your mother and I have discussed it. Weve decided to take 10 million from the 30 million we earned from selling the house to pay off our debts. Really? Shi Huan was surprised and thrilled. Of course, its true. A few days ago, Minyan had already done the calculations for us. This amount of money can completely settle our remaining debts. You wont have to work so hard to make money every month anymore. So, Shi Huan couldnt help but want to laugh, I dont have to pay the debts anymore? Yes, Huanhuan. You have been working very hard for so many years. Qian Yulin looked at her little daughter, her eyes full of obvious love, After paying off the debts, the remaining money can be used to buy a new, larger house. You can then live with us. Shi Huan didnt say a word. She still hardly dared to believe it. Could she finally regain her freedom? She thought it would take at least half a year before she could feel relieved. She hadnt expected happiness to come so suddenly. In this way, Chu Xiuhuang had indirectly done her a great favor. Qian Yulin was already on the phone with Shi Minyan. The gist of the conversation was that Shi Huan had arrived at the hospital, the old Mrs. Shis condition was not serious, and he didnt have to worry. Shi Huan sat there, clueless, and it took her a while to snap back to reality from her excitement. She then looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon. Qian Yulins call came in so urgently that she ran directly to the hospital from the company without even having time to ask for leave. She took out her phone and found that it had been silenced at some point. There were over a dozen unanswered phone calls displayed on the screen. Most of them were from Chu Xiuhuang, with a few also from her subordinates in the secretarys office. She called Chu Xiuhuang directly. The moment the call connected, an ominous voice was heard, Have you decided to quit? Shi Huan rushed to apologise, Mr. Chu, Im sorry. My grandmother just suddenly fainted, my mother called me Are your bloodsucking relatives more important than me? Shi Huan frowned, I rushed out because I was worried. You were sleeping in the rest room, so I So the damn woman was sent up by you? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her again. Which woman? Lili! Lili? Shi Huan quickly asked, What happened to her? Very well, you admit it, dont you? Youve really disappointed me! Chu Xiuhuang finished and directly hung up. His voice was loud, as if filled with extreme rage. Shi Huan was dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? Just then, her phone displayed a call from Assistant Xiaoliu. Shi Huan quickly answered. Oh my god, Sister Shi, you finally answered my call. Where did you go? Something big has happened! What happened? Just now, a woman tried to rape Mr. Chu. She stripped naked and climbed onto Mr. Chus bed. Mr. Chu was very angry. He fired all the receptionists downstairs and the companys security guards were also dismissed. We were in the conference room discussing work at the time and narrowly escaped being fired. Shi Huan: Rape? What the hell? Is Mr. Chu alright? Shi Huan asked. Xiaoliu said, Im not sure, but the woman was naked, and Mr. Chu was dressed. Well, thats good. Shi Huan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Ending the phone call, she immediately said, Mom, I have to go back to the company now. Okay, if youre busy, you go ahead. Qian Yulin just finished speaking when a commotion came from the sick room behind her. She said, It sounds like mother has woke up. Shi Huan had no choice but to follow her into the ward. As the door opened, the old ladys voice immediately came over, Oh, it hurts so much. Mom, are you okay? Are you not feeling well somewhere? Qian Yulin hurriedly ran to the bed. The old lady Shi turned and frowned when she saw Shi Huan, and immediately asked, Why did she come? Mother, you fainted just now, and Minyan and Youran were busy and couldnt leave, so I Are you here to take a share of the property? The old Mrs. Shi suddenly interrupted her daughter-in-law, looking at Shi Huan warily. Her face was very grave. Shi Huan was speechless. Old Madam Shi looked at her daughter-in-law again, Did you tell her about selling the house? Qian Yulin guiltily replied, Mother, this is a good thing, I was thinking You ungrateful wretch! Old Madam Shi picked up a pillow and started hitting Qian Yulin, Who told you to inform her? I knew you were up to no good! Listen to me, this house was left to me by my husband! As long as Im alive, its mine! No one can take it away! Mom, youve misunderstood, we didnt Still denying it? As soon as you heard the house was sold, you immediately called our daughter back, didnt you? Are you all waiting for me to kick the bucket so you can divide my inheritance? Old Madam Shi, gasping for breath, fiercely threw the pillow at Shi Huan. What are you looking at? Are you trying to scare me? Get out! Get out! Go away! Mom, dont be like this. Huanhuan came because shes worried about your health You can get out too; youre no saint either! Old Madam Shi was so agitated she couldnt stop shouting. Soon, the nurses heard it from outside and came in. Busy, Old Madam Shi called out, Nurse, quickly get these two out of here! Im not dead yet, and they want to divide my inheritance! These unfilial beasts! Quickly, get them out! Shi Huan abruptly turned and left. Taken aback, Qian Yulin chased after her, Huanhuan. On the corridor. Huanhuan, your mother is just like this, she speaks harshly, but she doesnt mean it. You mustnt overthink it. Shi Huan quirked her lips but remained silent. Looking at her daughter, Qian Yulin didnt quite know what else to say. Often times, she genuinely wanted to be nice to this daughter of hers. Whether its Qingge or Huanhuan, they are both her daughters, her own flesh and blood. How could a mother not feel for them? But this mother-in-law is too dominant, sometimes she really has no other options; Since grandma is alright, Ill go back first. Shi Huans expression was cold. Okay. Qian Yulin felt a bit awkward. Is Old Madam Shi just alright? Shes more than alright. She seems to be in high spirits! Looking at the retreating slender silhouette of her daughter, Qian Yulin stood there and heaved a long sigh. ** When Shi Huan returned to the Huangyou, it was already past four in the afternoon. The CEOs office door was wide open, with masked and uniformed workers bustling back and forth. As soon as she entered the secretarys office. Thank God, Sister Shi, youre finally back. Assistant Xiaoliu rushed over, Did Young Master Chu find you? Yeah. Shi Huan looked at the workers outside, What are they doing? What else could it be, disinfecting! Shi Huan: The others also chimed in: The bed and bedding in the rest room were all thrown away! Sister Shi, you didnt see that woman just now, she had no clothes on, it was such an eyesore! Shes audacious, trying to take advantage of Young Master Chu while he naps and climb into his bed! A toad longing for a swans flesh! How disgraceful! She was dragged out by security for all to see! If it were me, I would already be mortified to death! . The more Shi Huan listened, the darker her face got. That afternoon on the golf course, wasnt young master Chu having a pleasant chat with that Lili? Is he really such a chaste individual? Where is Young Master Chu? Shi Huan quickly asked. He left half an hour ago. Oh. Shi Huan didnt think much of it. She sat down at the desk right away, Stop gossiping. Xiaoliu, Xiaoli, you two come here. What is it, Sister Shi? The two assistants hurried over. While starting her computer, Shi Huan smiled and said, I might be resigning soon. Ill hand over all recent work to you two now. If theres anything you dont understand, feel free to ask me while Im still at the company. Xiaoliu and Xiaoli looked at each other, too shocked to speak. Resign? Secretary Shi, who is known for being diligent and uncomplaining Is resigning? ** Elite Club. Chu Xiuhuang drained his glass in one gulp. Beside him, Nangong Ci frowned, Second Brother, you called me over here, whats going on? Since walking in, he had been drinking alone in silence, his expression melancholic as if he had a broken heart! . Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: 646, did the secretary cheat again? Chapter 646: 646, did the secretary cheat again? He just came in and drank in silence, not speaking a word and looking disappointed Seems like hes been dumped! Nangong Ci immediately asked, Did you have a fight with Secretary Shi, Brother? Dont mention that damned woman to me! As expected, Chu Xiuhuang finally spoke. Nangong Ci chuckled slightly, he seemed smug and scoffed, Whats the reason this time? Did Secretary Shi cheat on you again? He remembered the time when Secretary Shi was dining with another man in Xiaoye Garden, and got caught by his second brother. The man sure suffered a terrible fate! Not only did he get bitten and scratched, but his familys business almost got ruined by the second brother. Second brother, dont mind me saying this! You need to learn from our eldest brother! Chu Xiuhuang glared at him, poured another glass of whiskey, and once again downed it in one gulp. Nangong Ci went on, Women are soft creatures, you must treat her well, so well that she cant live without you, and whenever she sees another man, she feels that he cant compare to you Shut up! Chu Xiuhuang interrupted him impatiently, Do I need advice from a greenhorn like you on how to handle a girlfriend? Nangong Ci was unhappy, How can you insult me, Brother? Besides, where am I offended? I am obviously very His phone suddenly rang. Chu Xiuhuang picked up his phone, glanced at it and answered, What is it? Not sure what was said from the other end of the phone, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly stood up, picked up the bottle of whiskey at hand and smashed it onto the floor. A loud clang echoed, as the whiskey splashed everywhere and the bottle shattered into pieces. Nangong Ci, with his mouth wide open and the color drained from his face, was dumbfounded. * * * Late at night, just past eleven. Nangong Ci helped Chu Xiuhuang back to the villa. As soon as they stepped inside, he nearly fell to his knees. Auntie, Sister Jingyi. Sitting on the sofa in the living room were two elegant and sophisticated women. That is Chu Xiuhuangs mother, Mrs. Chu, and his twin sister, Chu Jingyi. Its quite obvious that all women welcomed into the Chu Family would be hand-picked. Mrs. Chu, now in her fifties, had just recovered from a bone fracture and had spent the better part of the year in the hospital. But now, sitting here looking noble and cold, her face stern and eyes icy, she was somewhat intimidating. The villas interior design was mainly in a serious, dark hue. These two women were dressed in dark clothes, their faces somber Without exaggeration, Nangong Ci felt his body shivers, the hair on the back of his neck standing upright. He was scared stiff, as if he had walked onto the set of a palace drama What happened to Ahuang? Chu Jingyi asked. Nangong Ci quickly explained, Brother is just drunk, its nothing serious. As for the incident at the club where he lost his temper and smashed a bottle, there was no need to mention it. Chu Jingyi called a maid over, Take Young Master upstairs to rest. Chu Xiuhuang was indeed drunk, but this man, usually difficult to deal with when sober, was surprisingly quiet and cooperative when he was drunk. Without another word, he was helped upstairs by the maid. Leaving Nangong Ci standing in the living room, trembling. Finally, Mrs. Chus voice, cold as ever, rang out again, Aci, can I ask you a question? Auntie, theres no need to be so formal. Nangong Ci stuttered nervously. Actually, he wasnt very familiar with the elders of the Chu family, mainly because they were all too serious, all involved in artistic pursuits, with an air of sophistication. They all seemed quite lofty, exuding an air of intellectual superiority. Nangong Ci considered himself uncultured, totally unable to connect with them. Old Mr. Chu was way more grounded! Did Ahuang and Shi Huan break up? Upon hearing this question, Nangong Cis knees trembled, Auntie, I dont know about this. You and Ahuang, youve grown up together, as everyone in the courtyard knows. When you were kids, you even formed a gang of three, rampaging and causing havoc in the courtyard. Nangong Ci quietly protested inside: We havent grown up together, my brother is four years older than me. About that gang of three Those were the days! Everyone knows that you boys are very close, and in the past, whenever someone did something wrong, the others would help cover up. Mrs. Chu said and continued, Ahuang has always had a high alcohol tolerance. Ever since the accident a few years ago, he hasnt gotten drunk. Why did he drink so much tonight? Why? Nangong Ci pulled a bitter face, Auntie, how would I know? Mrs. Chu smirked, The other day, your grandmother came to me saying she wanted to introduce my niece to you. My niece is twenty-four this year, she works in the armys cultural troupe. Youve seen her when she was little. Shes very beautiful and well-mannered. So far, she hasnt had a boyfriend and shes been wanting to find a doctor boyfriend. Nangong Ci felt a sense of foreboding. This Its a threat but also a temptation! Knowing that hes still single, she wants to tempt him with a girlfriend! And just happens to want to find a doctor boyfriend? Auntie didnt mean anything else. Ahuang is my son, I understand him. Hes always been rebellious. I didnt intervene in his affair with Shi Huan. I figured that after a while, it would be just like with his past girlfriends, his interest fading over time. The more I try to control him, the more rebellious he may become. Hence dont worry, I wont do anything to Shi Huan. I just want to understand the progress of their relationship. Nangong Ci was almost in tears, Auntie, how about this, why not directly ask the second brother about his dealings with Secretary Shi after he sobers up? I really dont know anything about it! Mrs. Chu looked at him silently, Nangong Ci said with all seriousness, Really, Auntie, Im not lying to you, Ive been really busy at the hospital recently, and I havent had drinks with the second brother for a long time. I was called out suddenly tonight because the eldest brother got married and the fourth brothers law firm is busy. Little Jingzi cant drink, Im just the second choice for brother. I swear, Auntie. Again, Mrs. Chu remained silent: ** As she left the villa and settled in the car, Mrs. Chu heaved a deep sigh. Mom, all that Shi Huan wants is money. For Ahuangs sake, why not just buy her off? Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter, Your brother is very rebellious, I dont want to destroy our mother-son relationship because of this. So, after knowing that the two were dating, although she was not pleased, she did not interfere. Unexpectedly Today Chu Xiuhuang spent 30 million to buy that broken-down house of the Shi family! There are so many nice properties in Nancheng and he specifically bought that one from the Shi family, even vastly overpaying for it. He may have the money, but he sure is reckless! Then let me handle it. Chu Jingyi immediately volunteered. However, Mrs. Chu was uneasy, Im afraid, this girl is overly ambitious and may make excessive demands Mom, dont worry, I know what Im doing. Chu Jingyis eyes were filled with calculating schemes. She knew exactly how to deal with penniless women like Shi Huan. ** The next day. At nine in the morning, Shi Huan arrived at the company. After deciding to resign yesterday afternoon, she felt a lot lighter. From the age of nineteen when she joined Huangyou, she had been constantly working for over five years, learning from scratch, gradually getting on track, continually improving herself, until now where she can work effortlessly, becoming Nanchengs top secretary. Honestly, apart from a sense of accomplishment, all that remained was fatigue. Now she could finally be free, no longer worried about having to carefully calculate money and obsess over repaying debts, Shi Huan even had a feeling of rebirth! Ms. Shi. In the corridor, Xiaoli greeted her, Someones looking for you. Who? Xiaoli said, Its Mr. Chus sister. Shi Huan was taken aback. Chu Jingyi? Shes been in the lounge for 10 minutes. Oh, and Mr. Chu didnt come to work today. All right, I got it. Shi Huan went to her office, put down her bag, took off her coat, and then headed to the meeting room. She knocked on the door and pushed it open to see Chu Jingyi, wearing a red dress, sitting there elegantly with her makeup flawless. There was also a cup of hot coffee in front of her. She was as beautiful as a painting. Upon seeing Shi Huan, Chu Jingyi raised a delicate eyebrow, Sit. Shi Huan pulled out a chair and sat down, Miss Chu, do you need something from me so early in the morning? Chu Jingyis scrutinizing eyes swept over her face with a tone of boredom and arrogance, You have no idea why Im looking for you? Shi Huan pursed her lips, Im sorry, Miss Chu, if you have something to say, feel free to tell me directly. Without wasting time, Chu Jingyi immediately took out a check from her bag and shoved it towards Shi Huan. Here is 8 million, for you. Shi Huan was surprised. 8 million? That much money? What do you mean? Ha. Chu Jingyi exaggeratedly laughed, Stop pretending. Arent you clinging to my brother and refusing to resign because youre after money? As long as you agree to resign and leave my brother alone, this money is all yours. Shi Huan looked at her, You mean, as long as I resign, leave Mr. Chu alone, this money is all mine? Correct. Shi Huan frowned, Can I trust Miss Chus words? Chu Jingyi was taken aback at first, then she scoffed, Of course, you can directly take this check to the bank and get the cash. If you find it inconvenient, we can do a bank transfer instead Fine. Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyi was completely startled. Shi Huan had already picked up the check, Thanks, Ive been planning to resign recently. Chu Jingyi looked at her, too shocked to regain her senses. With a smile, Shi Huan said, You can rest assured, Ill leave Huangyou and will not meet Mr. Chu again. Do you have any other issues? Still too stunned to respond, Chu Jingyi remained silent. Miss Chu? Chu Jingyi finally found her voice, she nodded, I hope you keep your word. Shi Huan got up with a smile, Alright, Miss Chu, Ill return to handover work now. Just as she was about to leave the room Wait a minute. Chu Jingyis voice suddenly rang out. Shi Huan turned around. Chu Jingyi narrowed her eyes, Shi Huan, you have truly surprised me. I thought you were highly ambitious, but apparently not. She laughed, her eyes not reaching her eyes, I genuinely feel sorry for my brother. He was so sincere towards you, but you, youre just a vain, shallow woman! A measly 8 million dollars and youre bought. Is that all youre worth? If she knew 8 million could buy her, why did she bother going through so much trouble before? She had really overestimated her! Shi Huan smiled faintly, Miss Chu, you got it all wrong. I told you before, I just want to work hard to make money. In the past five years and now, the relationship between Mr. Chu and I has always just been boss and subordinate. As for this money Shi Huan raised the check in her hand, her smile even brighter, Consider it as a loan from you. But the repayment date might be quite far away. When she finished speaking, she nodded towards Chu Jingyi, Thank you. Ill go back to my handover now. After Shi Huan left and the room door was closed, Chu Jingyi slowly sat back down, picked up the phone on the desk, and pressed the stop recording button. * * * The next day, Chu Xiuhuang was awakened by the sound of the phone ringing. A splitting headache! Rubbing his temples as he got up from the bed, he picked up the phone, glancing at the time. It was 10:30 in the morning. He hadnt gotten this drunk in years, usually only getting slightly intoxicated; this was the first time he had drunk until he blacked out. But thinking about yesterdays incident, Chu Xiuhuang instantly scowled. Shi Huan! This damn woman! She knew he was drunk in the lounge at noon, yet she even let that trashy woman upstairs! Because he didnt pick up, the ringing stopped. But soon, it started ringing obnoxiously again. Chu Xiuhuang answered impatiently, What is it? Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: 647, Chu Shao, Ive decided to resign. Chapter 647: 647, Chu Shao, Ive decided to resign. Im hanging up now. Wait a moment. Chu Jingyi hurriedly spoke, I just sent you a voice message. What is it? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was very irritated. His headache was killing him, and now he had to listen to a voice message? Youll know once you listen, Chu Jingyi added after finishing, Its a conversation between me and Shi Huan. Chu Xiuhuang slightly narrowed his eyes. Its that damn woman Shi Huan again! He initially wanted to listen but immediately lost interest when he heard her name. He hung up the phone and went into the bathroom. After taking a shower, he saw a pure white ragdoll cat sitting on his bed. It had beautiful blue eyes and was meowing at him. Pao Pao, scram! Chu Xiuhuang was not in the mood to pet cats right now. Pao Pao seemed to not understand and meowed at him again, Im warning you, Im in a bad mood today. If you dont leave, be careful that I hit you! Chu Xiuhuang raised a hand threateningly. Pao Pao, frightened, stood its fur on end, let out a mournful meow, and then bolted out of the room. His phone rang again. Chu Xiuhuang was very impatient, especially when he saw that it was Chu Jingyi calling again. He hung up directly and then turned off the phone. Chu Family. Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off, please try again later. Chu Jingyi paused, Mum, Ahuang switched off his phone. Mrs. Chu paused in her transcription of Buddhist scriptures, and after a moment, said, Call the housekeeper; lets make sure nothings wrong. Understood. ** Because the secretarys job is too intricate, involving many details, Shi Huans transition period lasted for an entire week. During this period, Chu Xiuhuang had not come to the company, nor had he called her, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Finally, on the 18th of March, after handing over all the work, Shi Huan called him. To be honest, she was somewhat nervous. After all, she was also responsible for what happened with Lili that day. The phone was answered quickly, and a chilly male voice came, What? Mr. Chu. Shi Huan asked, Where are you? I need to see you. There was a pause on the phone, then, Have you realized your mistake? Shi Huan quickly responded, Yes, I was wrong. I was also responsible for what happened that day. Are you alright? Are you feeling better? Hadnt been scared by that woman, had he? In fact, she had been reflecting on her actions during these days. She knew that Chu Xiuhuang, though a womanizer, was significantly germophobic. Maybe it was because his rest room bed seemed too high-end, requiring a change of sheets every day, and now it had been dirtied by that bold woman; probably that had made the young master unhappy. It was understandable. The tone of Chu Xiuhuang seemed to soften, In that case, come to my house. Alright. Shi Huan agreed immediately without thinking. After hanging up the phone, she stood up. Miss Shi, are you leaving now? Assistant Xiaoliu hurriedly asked. Miss Shi, dont go. What will we do without you? Yeah, Miss Shi, Mr. Chu will definitely not allow you to resign! Several assistants were reluctant to let her go. Shi Huan had been working at Huangyou for over five years. Honestly, she got along best with these few people in the secretary office. After all, being second only to one, but above millions, she wasnt a particularly attractive woman, so it was inevitable she would face criticism and disapproval within the company. Shi Huan felt a touch of sorrow. Its okay, I will still be in the country for a while. We can get together for meals and shopping, she said. But we will miss you. Without you to back us up, I really dont know how to deal with Mr. Chu. Yeah, Mr. Chu is too scary and so picky. I dare not work for him! Miss Shi, please reconsider. Will you reconsider resigning? Miss Shi After much ado, Shi Huan finally managed to leave the company. She got in her car and headed for Chu Xiuhuangs villa. Halfway there, as if remembering something, she took off her black-rimmed glasses from her face. When she arrived at the villa, the housekeeper, Auntie Wu, opened the door. Are you Secretary Shi? Oh my god, if it wasnt for the familiar clothes and hairstyle, she wouldnt have recognized her. Who knew Secretary Shi could be this beautiful? Shi Huan nodded, Auntie Wu, is Mr. Chu home? Yes, Young Master Chu has been waiting for you, Thank you, Aunt Wu. Shi Huan changed into slippers and stepped into the living room, where she saw Chu Xiuhuang sitting on a black sofa. His head was slightly bowed but his eyes were looking at her, making his phoenix eyes seem even more narrow and deep, hauntingly dark. The entire mansion was adorned in a masculine style, dark and cold, complemented by him dressed in a dark blue nightgown. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that Shi Huan was taken aback by his gaze. Until Meow! Only then did Shi Huan notice that there was a pure white Ragdoll cat nestled in his lap. Upon seeing Shi Huan, Pao Pao, the cat, shivered and attempted to dash towards her. However, a large hand tightly gripped its chubby belly, preventing it from moving. Pao Pao twisted its head and let out a fierce meow at its owner! Chu Xiuhuang quickly cocked an eyebrow and cast a disdainful look at Shi Huan, So, you came empty-handed? Shi Huan was taken aback. She wasnt visiting a patient, why would she need to bring anything? In the next second. How could you not bring a gift after not seeing Pao Pao for so long? Chu Xiuhuang continued to ask. Im sorry, I I forgot, Shi Huan said awkwardly, looking at the cat. The same Ragdoll cat she accompanied Chu Xiuhuang to purchase from the pet store back then. She remembered when they first bought it, it was so beautiful and proud like a queen, how did it gain so much weight now? Only then did Chu Xiuhuang loosen his grip. Pao Pao immediately jumped down and rushed toward Shi Huan, circling around her legs, tail high in the air. Shi Huan couldnt help but laugh. But then she straightened her face, Master Chu, I came here today to say Im hungry, Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her bluntly. Shi Huan frowned, But its only a little past two I skipped breakfast and lunch, Chu Xiuhuang stated, Youve done wrong. Punish you by cooking me something tasty. Shi Huan was at a loss for words, But I have something important to discuss with you Personal affairs cant be dealt with on an empty stomach, Chu Xiuhuang retorted, and turned to head upstairs, his silhouette and voice both arrogant, You may leave if you dont want to cook. We dont need to talk either. Shi Huan: The tall and imposing figure of the man disappeared upstairs. Meow! Pao Pao lifted a small paw and started scratching Shi Huans foot. Shi Huan looked down and helplessly walked towards the open kitchen. She had visited this mansion quite a few times, but never had she cooked here before. Thanks to Aunt Wus help, Shi Huan swiftly found all the ingredients and condiments and cooked three dishes and a soup skillfully. Should be enough for the young master, no? Fearing that Master Chu might be picky, Shi Huan opened the refrigerator, grabbed some cucumbers and okra, and made a cucumber salad and an okra dish. Five dishes and a soup ready! Shi Huan arranged the dishes on the luxurious dining table, Aunt Wu, please tell Master Chu that dinner is ready. Alright, Aunt Wu consented, unable to hold back her praise, Miss Shi, you are really skilled at cooking. It was rare these days to see such a young and beautiful lady who can cook, and so skillfully at that. It was obvious that she cooked often, and her culinary skills looked great. Shi Huan smiled and stood by, waiting. Soon, Master Chu came downstairs. Still dressed in the same dark blue nightgown. As he arrived at the open dining area and stood beside the table, looking at the five dishes and a soup, he pursed his lips and arched an eyebrow at her, Why isnt there any braised pork? Shi Huan, taken by surprise, protested, Master Chu, you didnt specify you wanted braised pork. She had chosen the simplest dishes to save time, so they could discuss her resignation after eating. Do I need to say it? Dont you know that Little Luoluo and I both like braised pork the most? Master Chu retorted angrily. Shi Huan frowned slightly. Im sorry, she apologized. Deal with it, young master! Luckily Chu Xiuhuang did not make any further fuss and pulled out a chair to sit down. Shi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Xiuhuang picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of stir-fried meat into his mouth, chewing gracefully, followed by a mouthful of rice. This damned woman was quite adept in the kitchen after all, the dishes were light but tasty, flavorful and satisfying. Master Chus mood improved considerably after doing away with several days worth of melancholy, and he felt much more relaxed. Seeing that Shi Huan was still standing, he said magnanimously, Werent you going to talk about something? Sit and talk. Shi Huan, subconsciously licking her lips and then pinching her fingers, looked at the man eating elegantly and started slowly, Master Chu, Ive decided to resign. Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: 648, Chu Er: What will I do if you leave? Chapter 648: 648, Chu Er: What will I do if you leave? As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Xiuhuangs movement of picking up his food froze, he was motionless. Shi Huan blinked her eyes, not daring to speak. Chu Xiuhuang remained still, maintaining the posture of picking up food. After a while, he put down his chopsticks, looked up, and asked, What did you say? Shi Huan couldnt help but lick her lips again, Mr. Chu, Ive decided to resign. Chu Xiuhuang stared at her, his handsome and soft features gradually turned dark and cold. Shi Huan felt a bit overwhelmed under his gaze. Eventually, Chu Xiuhuang spoke again, Resign? Yes. Shi Huan nodded, You havent been at the company recently, so only today did I have the time to talk to you about resigning. Dont worry about the work, Ive successfully handed it over. In the future, if you need anything, you can directly find Xiaoliu and Xiaoli. Did I agree to that? Chu Xiuhuang cut her off abruptly, and at the same time slammed his bowl and chopsticks onto the table. With a loud slam, Shi Huan got a jolt, and PaoPao, on the chair next to them, jumped down in fright. Mr. Chu, I have made my decision. Today is Friday, so starting from next week, I wont be coming to the office. But, I will still be in the country during this period, so if Mr. Chu needs any work-related help, you can still find me. What do you mean? Are you fucking going abroad? Chu Xiuhuang found his anger rising again. Fucking hell. Resigning without a word, and even planning to go abroad? Was he the devil? Was she so desperate to escape him? Yes, I plan to study in France. Six years ago, Shis grandfather planned to send both granddaughters to study in France. However, both took part in the admission exam together, and Shi Huan passed, but Shi Qingge did not. Later, too many things happened during that summer. In the end, Shi Qingge took her place to study in France, and she stayed in the country to take on the enormous debts of the Shi family. It wasnt without regret. Therefore, now that she was finally free and could live the life she wanted, the first thing Shi Huan thought about was to study in France, to make up for the regret. What about me? Chu Xiuhuang blurted out. Shi Huan was initially stunned, then immediately comforted him, Dont worry, Mr. Chu. Huangyou is developing well. Xiaoliu and Xiaoli have been working with me, and you can trust their ability. I have already taken care of all the details Im not relieved. Chu Xiuhuang stood up straight away, Youre not allowed to leave! Shi Huan was dumbfounded, Mr. Chu, Ive already decided. Damned woman! Chu Xiuhuang gritted his teeth, Dont you fucking care about me at all? Shi Huan was in a daze, Mr. Chu, youve been good to me these past five years, and I will miss you. Miss? Just miss? Chu Xiuhuang was so angry that he started swearing, Fucking hell, so youve made up your mind, and now youre just here to inform me? Uh. Shi Huan answered, a little difficult because she found that Mr. Chus face looked awful. Can you not leave? Chu Xiuhuang asked again. No. Shi Huan refused directly, This has been my dream for many years, I have to go. Chu Xiuhuang: Not talking anymore! Angry! Shi Huan sighed a breath of relief and looked at the time, Mr. Chu, I have to go. Chu Xiuhuang still didnt speak. Shi Huan looked at him, and then suddenly, she bent over and gave him a deep bow. Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback with a peculiar look in his eyes, What are you doing? Having straightened up, there was a faint smile on Shi Huans pretty face, Mr. Chu, thank you. What do you mean? Thank you for letting me join Huangyou five years ago, and start a business with you, thank you for your patience, care, and training over the past five years, and thank you for your trust in me all along. Thank you. Shi Huans words were sincerely spoken, but who would have known If you really want to thank me, then dont leave. Chu Xiuhuang instantly replied. Im sorry, but Ive made my decision. Shi Huan pressed her lips together, I have to go, Mr. Chu, goodbye. With that, she turned around and swiftly left. Chu Xiuhuang stood there, showing no movement with his tall figure. It was only when Shi Huan left and the door was closed, the entire villa returned to its quiet state once more. Chu Xiuhuang still stood there, silent like a statue. After an unknown amount of time had passed, Aunt Wu came out from the servant quarters. She looked at the dining room, Mr. Chu With a loud crash! Chu Xiuhuang suddenly picked up a dish from the table and slammed it to the ground. Aunt Wu was frightened and stopped talking. PaoPao had run off to the balcony even more swiftly. Chu Xiuhuang continued, one after another, to smash all the dishes on the table. He then went upstairs. ** Wellington Primary School. Shi Huan drove to the school entrance. After parking the car, she turned on the car radio and sat inside, listening and waiting. If she remembered correctly, little Luoluos school ends at 4:30 PM, and it was only a little past 3 now. Tokyo is raining, wetting Paris, what time can you hear from the radio Silently watching the passing of time, lending me a mute voice, regardless of asking or saying anything These are the words in my fathers diary, his residual youth left behind, in the form of prose and poetry I have once transformed my youth into his, also expressed the peak summer with my fingertips, where the heart goes, let it be Moving melodies followed one after another. Over so many years, it was Shi Huans first time in this afternoon slot, leisurely listening with nothing to do to songs on the radio, totally relaxed. Until the school bell rang for class to end, she immediately got out of the car. The DJ was now speaking on the radio, We just played The Wind Has Risen by Wu Qingfeng. Hello, everyone, Im your afternoon DJ, Wang Yiming. The weather at the end of March was now quite warm. Shi Huan stood amongst the crowd of parents waiting to pick up their children, waiting for little Luoluo to come out. For the most part, it was grandparents around her, occasionally young parents, so a woman like Shi Huan dressed in professional black attire and with a youthful look stood out. Finally, little Luoluos figure appeared before her eyes. She was wearing a school uniform identical to the rest of the kids, with her hair in two long pigtails, carrying a small backpack, and chatting with two young boys as she walked. Shi Huan couldnt help but smile. The little girl certainly seemed lucky with boys. When she approached, as if sensing her presence, little Luoluo suddenly lifted her head. The next second, a surprised look appeared on her cute little face, Huanhuan! After calling out, she rushed over with her short little legs, Huanhuan! Huanhuan! Called out one after another, her little milk-voice made Shi Huans heart melt. When she arrived, she hugged Shi Huans leg straight away, looking up at her with an innocently cute face, Huanhuan, why are you here? I missed you so much! I missed you too. Shi Huan ruffled her hair, Let me treat you to something tasty first, then Ill take you home, sounds good? Great! Little Luoluo nodded happily, waved to her companions, Fu Ziyang, Wang Xiaobo, Huanhuan is taking me home now, bye. Bye. Bye, Luoluo. As Shi Huan left with little Luoluo, the two boys just stood there. Fu Ziyang, want to come play video games with me? No. Come on, I got pocket money today. I can treat you! A ringtone suddenly sounded. Fu Ziyang took out a cell phone from his backpack, Uncle Yang? Sorry, young master, theres been a traffic accident at this intersection. Can you please wait for another ten minutes and Ill be there to fetch you. Alright. After hanging up, Wang Xiaobo started talking again, Fu Ziyang, are you sure you dont want to play video games with me? I want to go home. Fu Ziyang held his little face high, unmoved. Then can you come play video games with me tomorrow? No. Fu Ziyang, why Kids. Tu Yourans voice suddenly sounded, she knew Fu Ziyang, he sat the same desk as Luoluo. Hello, auntie. Wang Xiaobo also responded quickly, Hello, auntie. Have you guys seen Luoluo yet? Quick-mouthed Wang Xiaobo quickly responded, Luoluo was picked up. Tu Youran was taken aback, Who picked her up? Her sister picked her up. Shi Huan! Tu Yourans face changed at once, saying this, she turned and left. Wang Xiaobo was confused. Fu Ziyang couldnt help frowning. Even though he really liked little Luoluo, he had some complaints about his future mother-in-law. Such bad manners! And she had previously secretly pocketed the red envelope he had given to little Luoluo! ** In the car, Shi Huan checked the time and started calling Tu Youran. Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later. Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: 649, Huanhuan, can you not leave? Chapter 649: 649, Huanhuan, can you not leave? She put down her phone, Luoluo, what do you want to eat? Pizza Hut! Little Luoluos voice was lively. The mention of good food lit up her eyes. Okay. Shi Huan thought that the little girl hasnt eaten at Pizza Hut for a long time and must be craving it. Surely it wouldnt hurt to have it occasionally, right? The moment they reached the front of Pizza Hut, Shi Huan dialed Tu Yourans number again, and this time the call went through. Auntie, Ive picked up Little Luoluo from school. Ill send her back after dinner. Where are you? Tu Youran asked. Her voice was calm, betraying no emotion. Shi Huan said, Pizza Hut near the school. Alright. After hanging up the phone, Little Luoluos soft voice sounded, Huanhuan, did you tell mom that were going to Pizza Hut? Hmm. But if she knew, she wouldnt be happy. Shi Huan looked at her, Its okay to have it once in a while. Little Luoluo blinked her clear eyes, But Huanhuan, mom has been getting angry a lot lately, I dont like her. Shi Huan blinked. Mom doesnt let me use the phone, and she even threw away the phone you gave me! Little Luoluo continued her complaint, with a small sigh, I wish, Huanhuan, that you were my mom. Shi Huan couldnt help laughing. She lifted her finger to stroke her pert little nose, Alright, hurry up and get out of the car, otherwise your mom might not let you eat when she comes. Hearing this, Little Luoluo quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and dashed into the restaurant as soon as she got off the car. She might miss out if she was slow! Fortunately, Shi Huan had ordered a table full of tasty dishes, Little Luoluo ate until her belly bulged, and Tu Youran hadnt arrived yet. The young girl, pleased and content, sucked in two mouthfuls of orange juice, Huanhuan, why havent you come to play with me recently? Shi Huan used a tissue to wipe her oily little mouth, Because I have to work and earn money. Can you visit me frequently in the future? I may not be able to do so in the future, because Im going abroad. Little Luoluo frowned, Abroad? Yes, Im going to study in France, and I might not see Luoluo anymore. What does that mean? Little Luoluo was so young, she didnt understand many words. Shi Huan explained, I have applied to an undergraduate program and will be away for three years. If things go quickly, I can come back in two years. Little Luoluo bit her straw and fell silent, a dark cloud looming over her mood. Whats wrong, Luoluo? Shi Huan looked at the little girl. Huanhuan, can you not go? I dont want you to go! Little Luoluo whimpered softly. Shi Huan smiled, Im going to study, Luoluo. Three years will pass quickly. By the time I come back, youll be eight years old. Little Luoluo pouted, But I dont want you to go. Just as Shi Huan was about to respond Huanhuan. Shi Huan quickly raised her head. Indeed, Tu Youran entered from outside, and the man beside her was Shi Minyan. Both were dressed in business attire, the woman was mature and elegant, the man handsome and gentle. Together they looked quite matched. Uncle, Auntie. Shi Huan quickly stood up. And Little Luoluo immediately pushed the beverage in front of her and timidly stood up as well. But Tu Youran smiled and said, Have you finished eating so quickly? Auntie, Im sorry. I just thought that Luoluo hasnt had Pizza Hut for a long time, so Its okay. Tu Youran gently interrupted, You also like Luoluo, I know this kid cant resist temptation, I dont blame you. Shi Huan bit her lip. Tu Youran quickly spoke again, Minyan, why dont we just have something here? Alright. The two sat down opposite them. After Tu Youran finished ordering, she began asking, By the way, Huanhuan, did Yiming ask you to meet? Hearing this, Shi Minyans eyes flickered. No, Ive been quite busy lately. Wan Yiming indeed sent her a WeChat message to meet up, but Shi Huan has been busy with handover matters recently, so her reply was slow. After a couple of failed attempts, Wan Yiming stopped texting her. He seemed to have noticed her cold attitude. He retreated, which was a relief to Shi Huan. She was busy with the transition and preparing to study abroad, so she was spared the trouble of having to reject him. Tu Youran laughed and said, No matter how busy you are, you have to find time for your personal life. Have you listened to Yimings show yet? Shi Huan shook her head. Yiming is now a DJ at a music radio station in Nancheng. His show comes on in the afternoon around 3 or 4 oclock. You can listen if you have time. He has a lot of fans, hes kind of a celebrity in Nancheng The server brought the meals over quickly. Shi Minyan was quietly eating. Shi Huan didnt speak, and Little Luoluo was obediently quiet. Tu Youran was the only one who kept talking non-stop. Suddenly. Tsk! Tu Youran suddenly reached out and wiped the corner of Shi Minyans mouth with her hand, then sucked on her fingers with a very apparent sucking sound. Look at you, youve got food all over your face, just like Luoluo, she said. Shi Minyan frowned. Noticing his reaction, Tu Youran looked embarrassed. Sorry, Huanhuan, I Im just used to doing that at home. I must have made a fool of myself. Shi Huan coughed and took a sip of her orange juice. Shi Minyan picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. Youre 32 years old and you still get food all over your mouth. Even Luoluo is more mature than you, Tu Youran said, her voice saccharine sweet. Shi Huan looked at the time and couldnt help speaking up. Auntie and Uncle, you enjoy your meal, Im going home. Wait a second. Tu Youran stopped her. Your uncle and I are taking Luoluo to the movies later, do you want to come with us? Before Shi Huan could respond, she quickly added, Were watching a cartoon, though. Would you like that? Since its a cartoon, Ill pass, Shi Huan politely declined. Tu Youran laughed, Thats the way it is with kids, everything has to be about them. I used to go shopping and enjoy romantic dinners and movies with your uncle, but not anymore. Youll understand someday when youre married and have your own children. Shi Huans smile was somewhat stiff. She picked up her bag and stood up, Uncle, Auntie, Ill be off then. Okay, take care. When Shi Huan left, Shi Minyan turned to Tu Youran with a cold voice, Youran, what were you doing just now? Tu Youran widened her beautiful eyes, What do you mean? You were overly chatty. Tu Youran looked at him, her fingers slowly tightening into a fist. Dont do that anymore, Shi Minyan added. Tu Yourans knuckles were turning white from her grip, but she still maintained a soft smile on her face, Understood. * * That night. After putting Little Luoluo to bed, Shi Minyan returned to the bedroom. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and lit a cigarette. The room was silent. The mans gaze was deep, his countenance gloomy, until the sound of the bathroom door being opened broke the silence. Tu Youran came out, wearing a pure white silk nightgown, walked straight to the window, and wrapped her arms around the man from behind, Minyan. Shi Minyan continued smoking, his dark eyes gazing out the window, seemingly ignoring her, showing no reaction. Tu Youran laughed and reached out to touch him, but her wrist was caught and pulled away. Shi Minyan turned to face her, his eyes showing clear signs of tiredness, Im tired. But Tu Youran took advantage of the situation and grasped his hand. This time, Shi Minyan directly turned his head away and his voice was filled with impatience. Youran, I said Im tired. Tu Youran was upset, but she didnt dare show it, she just pleaded, Minyan, its been so long since youve touched me. Im really tired, you go to bed first. After saying that, Shi Minyan put out his cigarette and walked into the bathroom. As the bathroom door closed, Tu Yourans pretty face instantly turned cold. Six years. Shi Minyan was married to her, they shared the most intimate moments, and they treated each other respectfully in front of others, but the woman he loved most was Shi Huan. Only Shi Huan! Every time he saw Shi Huan, his mood was affected, the most apparent result being that he refused to touch her, regardless of her advances. Tu Youran couldnt understand. Shi Huan had been violated by an older man, then fell pregnant with his child, suffered a miscarriage, and endured a scandal She was already so tarnished, why couldnt Shi Minyan let her go? Under the harsh light of the overhead lamp, the womans eyes were brimming with a torrent of hatred. Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: 650, benevolence to the end of righteousness Chapter 650: 650, benevolence to the end of righteousness The phone suddenly rang. Tu Youran walked over and answered the call, Sister-in-law. Youran, tomorrow is the weekend. Mom wants you and Minyan to come home for dinner. Sister-in-law, we might not be able to come tomorrow as we have something to do. I see. Qian Yulin said, Has Minyan already told you about selling the house? I was thinking to discuss the issue of repaying the debt tomorrow with all of you. Tu Youran had a thought, Is Huanhuan also returning? Im going to call her in a while. Im just afraid she wont be willing to come back. You know, mom has bias against her which has caused deep conflict between them in these years, so Huanhuan seldom comes home. Sister-in-law, it just so happens that Yiming wants to meet with me tomorrow, so why not take this opportunity and let him meet Huanhuan as well. Tu Youran reminded, When you call later, dont tell Huanhuan that Yiming will be coming, just say that we are bringing Little Luoluo home, then she will definitely agree. Okay. Qian Yulin agreed. * * Meijia Garden Estate. Shi Huan was lying on the sofa, checking the accommodation situation in Paris, France, on his laptop. With the help of money, the application for that school in France went smoothly. Shi Huan did not want to waste time on exams and long waits, and with the eight million Yuan given by Chu Jingyi, she applied for an aristocratic school as a transfer student. There were no dormitories, and she had to be responsible for all her expenses. Now she just needed to wait for the visa to be issued, arrange the minor matters in Nancheng, and then she could start her study abroad journey in France. Just then, she received a call from Qian Yulin. Huanhuan, tomorrow is the weekend. Come home for lunch I wont be coming back. Are you still angry with your grandmother? Qian Yulin coaxed, Actually, your grandmother is just a bit rude, she doesnt mean any harm, we are all family. Tomorrow Minyan and Youran will also bring Luoluo over, you havent seen Luoluo for a long time, have you? Luoluo? Shi Huan thought about it, Alright then, just in time I also have something to discuss with you guys. Okay. * * At noon the next day, Shi Huan returned to the Shi Family. From outside the door, she could hear a lot of laughter and chatter. Tu Youran opened the door with a smile, Huanhuan, youre here. Auntie. As she walked into the room, Shi Huan glanced around, but she didnt see Little Luoluo or even Shi Minyan, instead there was a stranger. He was dressed in jeans, a plaid shirt, and a light colored casual jacket. He had a square face, well-proportioned features, and bright eyes. When he saw her, he stood up immediately. Shi Huans heart skipped a beat. As expected. Hello Miss Shi, Im Wang Yiming. The feeling in Shi Huans heart was confirmed, she could only greet him reluctantly, Hello. She looked at Qian Yulin. Qian Yulin was obviously guilty and she quickly stood up, Im going to cut some fruit. Tu Youran also immediately said, I promised someone at noon to discuss something, you guys chat, Im leaving first. Wang Yiming asked, Youre leaving already? Tu Youran laughed, Take good advantage of the opportunity. Shi Huan listened to this and couldnt help but frown. After Tu Youran left, the Shi familys matriarch spoke, Xiao Wang is your aunts classmate, Huanhuan, do you think hes a good guy after seeing him today? Shi Huan didnt respond. I asked him just now, and Xiao Wangs conditions are quite good. Although he is not a local of Nancheng, he does have a car and a house, and his parents are both teachers, which qualifies as an aristocratic family. If you could marry him, our Shi Family would be greatly blessed Wan Yiming coughed twice. It was clear that he was also somewhat embarrassed. Once the elderly Mrs. Shi finished speaking, Wan Yiming tactfully said, Mrs. Shi, this is my first meeting with Huanhuan. Isnt it a bit premature to discuss the topic of marriage? Old Mrs. Shi snorted, Not at all! Shes turning twenty-five after her birthday. Unlike men, women are considered leftover after 25, and she has no chance to get to know any men because shes always busy. Look at her, always wearing dark glasses and dressing like a woman in her forties or fifties. Which man could be attracted to her? Old Mrs. Shi sighed, then suddenly changed the subject, But dont worry, Mr. Wan, her work capability is quite impressive, working at which company is it? Is it Huangyou? Wan Yiming added. He had heard Tu Youran talk about Shi Huans work. Thats why he had agreed to meet Shi Huan at the Shi Familys place today. A career woman, too busy to have time for boyfriends or to respond to messages, he could understand that. Right, right, its Huangyou. Old Mrs. Shi immediately started bragging, The company treats her very well. Her salary is several tens of thousands a month, and she gets a bonus of several hundred thousand at the end of the year. Speaking of which She looked at Shi Huan, Tell Mr. Wan how much your year-end bonus was last year. Shi Huan was somewhat speechless, and responded directly, First, sorry, Mr. Wan, I have no plans to have a boyfriend or get married now. Secondly, Ive already resigned from Huangyou. What?! Old Mrs. Shi jumped in shock. I quit, Shi Huan repeated. Why would you resign? Old Mrs. Shis voice escalated sharply. Shi Huan explained, Shi Jingyuans house has been sold, and theres no need for me to pay off the remaining debt. I want to live my own life. So you quit? Old Mrs. Shi was enraged, You ungrateful thing! That house was left to me by my late husband, it was my coffin money! Now youre quitting, do you want me to use my coffin money to repay the debt, is that it? You are such an unfilial child! Admit it, didnt you have your eye on that house from the start? Her voice was loud and Qian Yulin walked out of the kitchen, Mom, whats wrong? Old Mrs. Shi pointed at her daughter-in-law and screamed, Its all your fault! Who told you to inform her about the house sale? You ingrate, you want me to pay off the debt? No way! Shi Huan asked, Grandma, do you mean to keep the money from the house sale for yourself? What do you mean by keep it for myself? This money is mine to begin with! Alright! Shi Huan didnt want to argue anymore; she stood up, picked up her bag, and said, In that case, Ill speak bluntly. These past few years, Ive been working hard every day! Earning money! Paying off debts! My life has been filled with nothing but this! Now that the old house has been sold, the remaining debts must be paid by you! I wont contribute a single cent more! If you refuse, I wont care anymore, because Ive quit my job. In a few days, Im going to leave the country. If you refuse to pay the debts, be prepared for the loan sharks to come after you! You ungrateful thing! Old Mrs. Shi became so angry that her face turned red, You want to gallivant around the world while leaving your elders behind to pay debts? Are you even human? What kind of child does that? How dare you treat the elderly like this? Stop, you monster, stop there! Shi Huan ignored her and stormed out. * * In the evening, Shi Huan received a call from Tu Youran. Huanhuan, what happened at noon, did you have another argument with mom? Shi Huan doesnt want to talk more about it. In these years, she had done more than she should have for the Shi Family. If it was in the past when Old Mrs. Shi asked her to be responsible for their debts, she could understand. After all, back then, apart from herself, there was no one else in the Shi Family who could shoulder this burden. But now, Shi Minyan has returned to the country and Old Mrs. Shi just received 30 million from the sale of Jingyuans house. She obviously has money, yet she is still not willing to use it to pay off the debt? Shi Huan had had enough. Tu Youran sighed, In this matter, grandma has gone a bit too far. Since the old house has been sold and there is money to pay the debt, it should be paid off. Huanhuan, rest assured, Shi Minyan and I are on your side. Thank you, Aunt Tu. Tu Youran laughed, But Yiming told me, you rejected him? Why? You dont like his appearance? Or are you unsatisfied in some other aspect? Shi Huan didnt feel like explaining, Im sorry, I disappointed you again. The psychologist I recommended, have you talked to her? Lets talk about it later. Tu Youran: .. Shi Huan looked at the time, Its getting late, Aunt Tu, Im going to hang up now. Hold on. Tu Youran suddenly stopped her, Huanhuan, tomorrow Minyan and I are going to attend a gathering of his university classmates. However, Luoluo has an interest class in the afternoon. Could you please pick her up for me? It probably ends around four. Tomorrow afternoon? Shi Huan thought for a moment, Alright. Thank you so much, Huanhuan. Ill send you the address in a bit. Alright. Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: 651, Shi Huan encounters danger: Is she going to die? Chapter 651: 651, Shi Huan encounters danger: Is she going to die? After hanging up the phone, Shi Huan went to take a shower. Twenty minutes later, she emerged in her pajamas, just as her mobile phone rang again. Picking up the phone, she saw who it was. Lu Chenyu? Pursing her brows, Shi Huan answered, Attorney Lu? Guiyi Mansion. Lu Chenyu was succinct. As it had always been, whenever Chu Xiuhuang got drunk in the middle of the night, he would call Shi Huan to ask her to pick Chu Xiuhuang up and drive him home. But now Shi Huan said awkwardly, Im sorry, Attorney Lu, Ive already resigned. Lu Chenyu paused before calmly inquiring, Why? Im going to study abroad. Shi Huan simplistically responded. Lu Chenyus tone remained composed, Have you two broken up? Huh? Shi Huan didnt understand. Broke up? What on earth was he talking about? Its nothing. After saying this, Lu Chenyu hung up the phone. Shi Huan: As for the other side. Inside the Fire Emperor box at Guiyi Mansion club. Lu Chenyu looked at his close friend, who was completely drunk on the couch, his thick eyebrows furrowing. Secretary Shi actually resigned? This meant That there would be no reliable designated driver when drunk in the future? ** The next afternoon. Shi Huan drove to a skyscraper located near the sixth ring of Nancheng. After getting out of the car, she followed Tu Yourans address and took the elevator straight to the twentieth floor. When she stepped out of the elevator, she saw that the floor seemed deserted. The office directly opposite her was a consulting firm, and although it was opened, there didnt seem to be anyone around since it was the weekend. Shi Huan glanced at it, then turned the corner, walking down the long corridor to Room 2019 at the very end. The door was tightly closed. There were also no signs indicating it was a training establishment. Shi Huan was a bit confused but decided to knock on the door anyway. There was no response. She mailed the doorknob and found, to her surprise, that the door was actually unlocked. Inside was a complete mess, with old computers and folders covering the desks, and dust everywhere; it looked like it hadnt been cleaned in ages. Hastily, Shi Huan closed the door and dialed Tu Yourans number on her phone. Im sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later. She rechecked the WeChat message that Tu Youran had sent last night. The address was definitely here. Just as she was getting suspicious, a loud bang suddenly emanated from behind her. Wheres the guy? Come out now! Turning around, Shi Huan saw several menacing men, sticks in hand, marching towards her. Are you the boss of this company? One of the leading men asked. Seeing their hostile faces, Shi Huan quickly denied, No, Im looking for someone. Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Cautious, Shi Huan turned to leave. But before she could get far, her arm was suddenly seized in a harsh grip, and her phone along with her handbag were snatched away. One of them smashed her phone on the ground before stomping on it repeatedly, seemingly determined to destroy it entirely. Meanwhile, the others opened her handbag and dumped out all her belongings. When they took all the money from her wallet and then produced her bank cards, Shi Huans heart skipped a beat. Screwed! She was being robbed, wasnt she? Her arm was held firmly, and Shi Huan could only tell herself to stay calm, despite her uncontrollable trembling. She had led a life for over twenty years and, frankly, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Boss, this woman is pretty rich; shes got lots of cards. A henchman held up a credit card for the leading man to inspect. In a hurry, Shi Huan blurted out, Ill give you all my money, just let me go, please. Looking greedily at the cards, the leader asked, Whats the pin? 123457. You said it so readily; are you trying to trick us? No, Im telling you the truth, replied Shi Huan. These men were all physically robust, solidly muscular. Shi Huan just wanted to pay off their threats with money. How do we know youre not lying to us? How about this, even though youre not so good-looking, youre still a woman. We brothers havent visited any working ladies in a long time. Why dont you take care of us today? If were satisfied, well let you go, how about that? Shi Huan started shouting at the top of her lungs, Help, help mmm. Her mouth was muffled immediately, the odour of sweat assaulting her nostrils. Shi Huan tried to struggle, but was countered with several slaps across the face. She could feel her cheeks swelling up rapidly, the metallic taste of blood filling her mouth, and spots of light appearing before her eyes. Scream, keep screaming! Werent you all high and mighty just now, why arent you screaming anymore! the thugs cursed, relentlessly assaulting her face. After a series of slaps, they pushed her to the ground, removing her black-framed glasses. Big brother, this girl is quite pretty! At these words, the rest of the men promptly crowded around her. The ringleader lewdly laughed. Who would have thought that behind the glasses she is a beauty, look at her figure, and her skin is quite fair, hahaha. The thugs eyes gleamed, Big brother, her skin is so good. Why dont you let the brothers have some fun? Staring intently at Shi Huans face, the big leader said. Though beaten up and looking dishevelled, her facial features were exquisitely proportioned, her frame slender, yet well-endowed where it mattered. Even in her simple, loose jeans and black suit, she looked extremely attractive. He immediately said, Fine, you guys take her inside the room. One after another. Thank you, big brother! the thug excitedly dragged Shi Huan towards the room. Shi Huan furrowed her eyebrows, her fear almost jumping out of her heart. She told herself to be calm. There was an open office door near the elevator. Someone might be working late. If she could alert someone, she could be saved. She lowered her head and feigned a cry of pain. The thug, thinking that she was in agony, let down his guard and loosened his grip on her. As they reached the door, he reached out to push it open. Shi Huan seized the opportunity and took off running. You little The thug froze for a moment before reacting and chasing after her. The other men hastily followed suit. Shi Huan dared not look back, sprinting for her life down the long corridor. Sweat was breaking out all over her body, her heart pounding in her chest. In her entire life, she swore she had never run this fast! But just as she reached the office door, she felt her arm being pulled back from behind. With one jerk, Shi Huan was thrown onto the hard ceramic tiled floor. Ignoring the pain, she yelled out immediately, Help! Help You little bitch, cant believe you could run so fast! The leader of the group rushed over, tearing at the coat she wore over her suit, Was planning to take you inside, but if you wont play along, well just do it here. No ones around this floor anyway. As her coat was ripped open, the collar of her shirt underneath torn, Shi Huan was overcome with nausea. Years ago This was exactly how it had happened Was she going to relive that nightmarish experience again? Shi Huans mind went blank as she opened her mouth and bit down hard. Agh! The man screamed in agony. Shi Huan tasted the metallic tang of blood in her mouth. People were trying to pull her off him, but she wouldnt let go, as if bewitched. Because she knew, if she let go now, she was done for. Damn it! Grab her off me, ah! It hurts! Ah! Ah! The man screamed repeatedly. Finally, one of the thugs grabbed a stick and brought it down hard onto Shi Huans head. With a loud thud, Shi Huan felt a blunt pain, so intense she almost lost consciousness, her mouth involuntarily letting go. The man got up, clutching his ear. When he removed his hand, it was covered in blood. Damn it! He snatched the stick, You insolent woman, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty, eh? Finishing his sentence, he swung the stick straight at Shi Huan. The bang echoed as the stick hit her shoulder, numbing her entire arm with pain. Does it hurt? Ah! You little bitch, Ill teach you a lesson, Ill beat you to death! The leader shouted and swung the stick again. This time, it landed on Shi Huans stomach. Her face turned pale, she couldnt help but cry out, Help! Help! Help Hahaha, scream all you want, nobody is coming to save you! The man finished his sentence and swung the stick down again. Shi Huan collapsed in weakness, her hoarse voice screaming for help but to no avail. All she could feel was the endless pain, one blow after another, relentless and brutal. It hurt! It hurt so bad! Not a single part of her body was spared the pain! Was she going to die? Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: 652, Shi Huan, dont blame me Chapter 652: 652, Shi Huan, dont blame me A certain KTV private room. The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Tu Youran quickly took it out and got up once she saw the caller, Minyan, Im going to take a phone call outside. Ok. Outside, in the corridor, Tu Youran answered the phone, Hello? Miss, the matter has been taken care of. Tu Yourans eyes lit up, How is she? As per your instructions, we tested it out, and she indeed has a strong revulsion towards men. My little brother almost got his ear bitten off by her. Tu Youran felt a shock in her heart, So what happened to her eventually? Do I even have to say it? Rest assured, there were five men in all, each one had a go, and then, we even gave her a good beating. Whyd did you beat her up?! She might get discovered! Tu Youran clenched her fingers tightly. Who let her resist all the time? My little brother had no other options. But rest assured, no one has found out. Tu Youran was still very nervous, Are you sure? Why would I lie to you? My little brother told me himself. Oh, they even took some photos, do you want to see them? No need. Tu Youran immediately refused. Not knowing if it was out of guilt or something else, she hurriedly said, Immediately delete all our call records, and WeChat messages, no, delete all my contact information. We should not contact each other for a while. If anyone asks, just say you dont know me, got it?! Why are you getting so worked up? The man laughed, Didnt you say that this woman is trying to seduce your husband? Dont worry, since weve taught her a lesson, shed definitely not dare to harass your husband anymore or speak of such embarrassing events. Thats good. Tu Youran let out a sigh of relief, Let me hang up first. Okay. After hanging up the call, Tu Youran quickly deleted the call record, opened WeChat, deleted all the chat records within, including contact information, and blocked all contacts. Making sure there were no traces left, she bit her lips and dialed Shi Huans number. An hour ago, Shi Huan had called. Thankfully, she had been prepared and had her phone on vibrate and silent mode to prevent Shi Minyan from noticing or suspecting anything. Were sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later. It seems that they really got the job done. Tu Youran put down her phone and couldnt help but smile. Shi Huan, dont blame me. After all, you were already defiled by an old man a few years ago. Having a few more men now shouldnt be a big deal, right? Why did you resist? If you didnt resist, you wouldnt have suffered these ordeals! Sigh! She turned around and went back into the private room. Upon opening the door, she saw Shi Minyan standing there. Tu Youran was startled, Minyan, you Shi Minyan looked at her indifferently, Ready to go home. Okay. Who were you talking to just now? Shi Minyan suddenly asked. Nothing, just a colleague. Said there was a problem with the report due on Friday asked me to check it first thing on Monday morning. Shi Minyan nodded, Lets go. Okay. ** It was until they were almost home, that Tu Youran took out her phone again, I asked Huanhuan to pick up Little Luoluo. They should be home by now, let me call and check. Mhm. Tu Youran pretended to dial a number, then put down the phone, Strange, why is her phone off? Shi Minyan glanced at her. However, when they got home, they found Little Luoluo playing with her toys in the living room. Luoluo, who brought you home? Tu Youran asked. Little Luoluo pointed to the kitchen, Aunt Xiaomai. Tu Youran said with a smile, Huanhuan must have forgotten because she was busy with something. Shi Minyan didnt think too much and nodded before heading straight to the bedroom. ** Nangong Hospital. Just after completing a four-hour heart bypass surgery, Nangong Ci left the operation room in his white coat. While washing his hands, he overheard several nurses gossiping. Did you just see it? That woman was in such a terrible state! She was covered in blood! Heard she was raped! Is that for real? From what they said, she was raped then killed, luckily a janitor found her, and brought her here. Is she still alive? They say shes still in critical condition Cough cough. Nangong Ci coughed a few times. The nurses turned around and saw the handsome and tall Deputy Director, all of them with hearts in their eyes. What were you talking about? Nangong Ci asked. Deputy Director, there was a female victim admitted to the emergency room just now. Shes badly injured, apparently, she was raped by five men! Yes, such a poor woman, heard she was only twenty-four. Even if they managed to save her, she wouldnt want to live anymore! She was so unlucky to encounter such a thing, if it were me, Id rather jump off a building and die! The nurses were getting more and more excited until Having encountered this kind of tragedy, yet you all cluster here to gossip about it? Are you hoping that everyone will know? The nurses were startled. The usually friendly Deputy Director is so stern now? Nangong Ci continued sternly, You are all medical staff, what will patients families think if they hear you talking like this and gloating about it? Are you intending to rub salt into their wounds? Deputy Director, were sorry. Nangong Ci still stared at them sternly for a while. Go back to your work. Yes. The nurses quickly turned around and ran off. Nangong Ci left and took the elevator. At this moment, he could not have known that the poor woman the nurses were talking about was Secretary Shi. ** Important tip: We must climb up here and make it clear. Please be reassured. Huanhuan was not gang-raped, she was just injured, and the nurses misunderstood. Those people lied because of the money. This could be considered a tribulation for her. After this, everything will be sweet! Chapter 653 - Chapter 653: 653, go home and sell sweet potatoes! Chapter 653: 653, go home and sell sweet potatoes! The new week came quickly. But Chu Xiuhuang hadnt shown up at the company for several days. Until Thursday morning, at nine oclock, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly appeared at the entrance of the secretarys room. After the last incident involving a woman in his bed, the boss finally showed up at work after more than half a month! The colleagues in the secretarys room were all prepared. Good morning, Young Master Chu! Chu Xiuhuangs narrow eyes swept across Shi Huans desk and he turned and left immediately. Damn woman! The desk was cleared spotless! Did she not miss him even a bit? Assistant Xiaoli immediately entered the tea room. About ten minutes later, with coffee in hand, she knocked on the door of the presidents office. Come in. Xiaoli entered the room with trembling legs, Young Master Chu, your coffee. Why is it you? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, his face displeased, Where is Secretary Shi? Young Master Chu, have you forgotten? Secretary Shi has already resigned. She hasnt been to the company for several days. Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, Damn! Xiaoli put down the coffee, But dont worry, Young Master Chu, I made it according to the method, order, and proportions that Secretary Shi gave me. You can try it. In fact, she had made coffee for Young Master Chu once before, which was rejected right away. Since then, she dared not do such a thing again. She was really nervous right now, but there was no choice. Secretary Shi had resigned, and all the work had been divided between her and Xiaoliu. Making coffee was her job. Chu Xiuhuang extended his long and beautiful hand, elegantly picked up the coffee, and took a sip with his thin lips. Xiaoli had just sighed with relief. Bang! The cup was put back. Young Master Chus handsome face was furious: Can this be drunk? What the hell did you make! Young Master Chu, I. Go back and brew it again! Yes! Xiaoli hurriedly left with the coffee. After another half an hour, she finally finished brewing again. Xiaoli entered the presidents office with the coffee, Young Master Chu, your coffee. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with extreme impatience. That look. It was utterly terrifying. The cup in Xiaolis nervous hand started trembling. Luckily, Chu Xiuhuang still graciously picked up the coffee and brought it to his thin lips. The next second. Bang! The cup was put back again. If you cant even make a cup of coffee properly, what else can you do! Go home and sell sweet potatoes! Xiaoli: In the end, Xiaoli returned to the office in tears. The other colleagues comforted her, Dont cry, its just the first day. Yeah, Young Master Chu must just not be used to it. Secretary Shi said that when she first started working as Young Master Chus secretary, she was scolded every day too. Why dont we call Sister Shi and ask if there are any problems with the steps? Xiaoli, crying, dialed Shi Huans number and, as a result Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later. Secretary Shi must still be in bed. Sister Shi is so lucky. She finally escaped from hell. She can sleep until she wakes up naturally. Yeah, yeah. ** Thankfully, Chu Xiuhuang didnt cause any more trouble after that. Until the time reached eleven oclock in the afternoon. This time its Xiaolius turn to stand up, Im going to order lunch for Young Master Chu. Go Xiaoliu! Keep going! Wish you success! The others started cheering her on. Xiaoliu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the presidents office. Come in. Chu Xiuhuang sat behind his black desk, his head resting on his chair, his face unhappy. Damn. Early in the morning, and no one came to serve him tea or water. This was absolutely ridiculous! So when Xiaoliu came in, he slapped his desk, Whats going on? Xiaoliu trembled, Young Master Chu, whats wrong? With Secretary Shi gone, can you guys not even do the basic work? Young Master Chu, no, weve been working hard. Xiaoliu looked wronged. Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, What are you here for? Xiaoliu plucked up the courage to speak, Young Master Chu, its lunchtime. May I ask where you would like to eat today? Seeing Chu Xiuhuang remain silent, she immediately said, Do you want Dihongs steak, Jinsheng, or Do I have to tell you what I want to eat? What do I need you as a secretary for? Xiaoliu was stunned, Then Young Master Chu, I understand now. Get out! Yes. Xiaoliu left the office and returned to the secretarys room. Seeing she wasnt crying, the colleagues immediately started praising her. Xiaoliu is so competent! Xiaoli, you should learn from her! Is Young Master Chu in a better mood? Xiaoliu, feeling at a loss, took out her cell phone to order food. However She really had no idea which restaurant Chu Xiuhuang would want to order from! She looked at the Chu Xiuhuangs Order Record that Shi Huan had compiled on the computer. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Not only did it record every single order, but it also provided a weekly and monthly summary of his tastes, which new restaurants had been tried out each month, and their respective first-hand experiences of them, amongst others. It wasnt due to any innate talent, but rather attributed to hard work behind the scenes. Xiaoliu sighed to herself as she studied the record thoroughly, and eventually ended up choosing a restaurant. Less than half an hour later, lunch was delivered. Xiaoliu immediately picked up the lunch box and knocked on the door of the CEOs office. Come in. Mr. Chu, your lunch is here. Chu Xiuhuang was looking at his cell phone and without raising his head, he said, Just put it down. Xiaoliu sighed in relief, set down the lunch box, and turned to leave, but then What kind of secretary are you! Xiaoliu quickly turned around, Mr. Chu? Do I have to open it myself? Xiaoliu frowned, quickly extended her hand to open the outer bag, took out the lunch box, and opened each one. She also took out the chopsticks and spoon and placed them properly. Mr. Chu, please enjoy your meal. Xiaoliu felt like she was a servant girl from ancient times serving an emperor! But what could she do? The boss is always right! Anyway, as long as you eat, thats all that matters. Who would have known Chu Xiuhuang immediately rose from his chair, Take it away! Mr. Chu? Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with a disgusted expression, I dont feel like eating braised pork today. The sight of it makes me sick! What kind of secretary are you? Didnt you know Ive been in a bad mood these days? You cant even manage such a small thing! Get out! Xiaoliu: In the end, Xiaoliu returned to her secretarys office crying. Xiaoli felt a bit better knowing that she wasnt the only one who couldnt please Mr. Chu, indicating his terrible temper! Xiaoliu, with a gloomy face, asked, What should I do? I genuinely have no idea what Mr. Chu would want to eat for lunch. She even mentioned he has been in a bad mood these days; could it be that even men have their times of the month? Why not consult Ms. Shi? She should be awake by now. Xiaoliu nodded and dialed Shi Huans number, but then Im sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later. Ms. Shi hasnt woken up yet? Its almost twelve oclock now. Such freedom is great. Xiaoliu was about to lose her mind, So what should I do now? Just as she finished her sentence, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared at the door. Mr.Chu? Xiaoliu quickly chased after him. Im stepping out for a bit. Call me if anything comes up. Alright! Mr. Chu! Take care! Xiaoliu was ecstatic. Finally, hes gone! No need to serve him so painstakingly! ** Once Chu Xiuhuang reached downstairs, he immediately spotted the black Cayenne parked there. Damn woman! Chu Xiuhuang clenched his teeth, got into another black Maybach and drove away. He pulled out his cell phone and started making calls. First, he called Lu Chenyu. Come out and have lunch with me. Lu Chenyu said, Already eaten. Come out and have lunch with me. Emphasizing his tone, the stress was on accompanying him, not on having lunch! Lu Chenyu: I have court soon. Get lost! Chu Xiuhuang was so angry that he hung up the phone immediately. Then, he called Nangong Ci. Second Brother, whats up? I just woke up, Chu Xiuhuang hung up again. After thinking for a moment, he dialed Huo Jingshens number. However, the call was not answered. Damn it! These heartless people Not one to accompany him for a meal! Chu Xiuhuang stared ahead, aimlessly driving the car. An hour later, he suddenly slammed on the brakes. Looking outside the car window, he scratched his head in disbelief. God damn it! He had unwittingly arrived at the Mei Jiayuan residential area! Chu Xiuhuang, feeling exasperated, started the engine again and was about to reverse away when he noticed a couple of familiar figures in front of him. Narrowing his brows, he got out of the car straight away. ** Mrs. Shi, leaning on her cane, sighed heavily, This unfeeling creature! Our Shi Family must have really bad luck in the past few generations to end up with someone like this! Mother. Qian Yulin tried to console, Huanhuan probably didnt do it on purpose. You think she didnt do it on purpose? Her cellphones off! I cant get through! Its been a few days now, hasnt it? What on earth does she want? Is she trying to drive me to my grave? Mrs. Shi was so furious that her head nearly blew off steam. The 20th of every month was the day to repay their debts, and this reckless girl didnt even pay this time! Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: 654, is Shi Huan in trouble? Chu Er has called the police! Chapter 654: 654, is Shi Huan in trouble? Chu Er has called the police! Every 20th of the month is the day to pay off the debt, and this bloody girl really didnt pay this time around! The loan sharks, having received no money, came to the Shi Familys house early in the morning, each brandishing clubs, looking mean and scary. They frightened her old grandmother nearly out of her wits! Left with no choice, she had to pay off the debt first. But, oh, how unwilling the old lady was! The 30 million was the money the old man had left for her to buy her own coffin! Why the hell did she have to use it to pay off the debt? She called Shi Huan but couldnt get through, which annoyed her so much that she didnt even have her lunch. She hastily took her daughter-in-law with her in a taxi to find Shi Huan and get some answers! Qian Yulin didnt dare to speak up for her daughter, she could only advise, Mom, Huanhuan said last week that she was going abroad, she might have been busy preparing for it these days. Too busy to even answer the phone? This naughty girl is doing it on purpose! Qian Yulin: That was something she really couldnt understand. Ever since they last parted in anger at the Shi Familys house, they hadnt been able to get in touch with Shi Huan for days. Could this girl have really gone abroad? Oh dear, this was Huanhuans fault C why didnt she let them know before leaving? She took out her card, swiped it to open the entrance, walked into the building, pressed the lift and direct went to the ninth floor. She didnt notice that there was a man following her. At the door, the old lady started pounding it with her cane, yelling as she pounded: Open up! Come out now, you damn girl! Qian Yulin was fed up. She quickly looked around. Luckily, today was a workday and presumably, all of their neighbors were at work. You damn girl, I know youre home, stop pretending to be gone! Open the door now! The old lady was getting tired, but the door wouldnt move an inch. Qian Yulin quickly tried to mediate, Mom, maybe Huanhuan is not at home. So, where did she go then? I cant reach her on the phone! Theres no one to answer the door! Is she trying to hide from me? The old lady was furious, so she banged the door again with her cane. Finally, the man behind them, Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but shouted, Stop the fucking knocking! The old lady jumped, she turned around and recognized the man standing there. You are I am Chu Xiuhuang. Mr. Chu! Qian Yulin was surprised. They hadnt seen Chu Xiuhuang for four or five years. The last time they saw him, he was 25, and now he seemed much more mature. The old lady immediately asked, Mr. Chu, did Huanhuan really resign her job? She hit a sore spot. Mr. Chu was unhappy and nodded perfunctorily. This damn girl, she really quit her job! The old lady was furious, she nearly burst into a stream of curses, but was quickly restrained by her daughter-in-law. Mom, since Huanhuan is not at home, lets go back. Hmm. They had to, although the old lady was not willing at all. Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the tightly closed door, his phoenix eyes narrowed upon narrowed. The elevator door opened, and came out an old woman with a badge on her chest. Upon seeing Chu Xiuhuang, she immediately said, You must be Huanhuans boyfriend, right? Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback. The old lady quickly said, What nonsense are you speaking about? This is my granddaughters boss. Oh. The old woman quickly asked, When is Huanhuan going to be home? I havent seen her for several days. Chu Xiuhuangs brow frowned, What do you mean? The old woman explained, The entire complex is getting new gas cards and this building is waiting for her. Cant reach her by phone, and I come to find her every day, but she is nowhere to be seen. Since you are her family, could you help me contact her? If she doesnt change her gas card soon, she will have to go to the gas company herself later. The old lady slapped her thighs, See, didnt I tell you? This damn girl didnt even bother to tell us when she went abroad! No wonder her phone is unreachable, she has left for overseas! The old woman: Chu Xiuhuang also: She went overseas? This soon? This bloody woman! It seems like she really doesnt care about him at all. ** They got into the elevator. The old lady tried to strike up a friendly conversation, Mr. Chu, we really cant thank you enough for your care of Huanhuan over the years. Our familys debt, we really owe it all to your help, you are the benefactor of our Shi Family. You should be thanking me. Chu Xiuhuang was straightforward and unceremoniously said, Have you paid off the debt yet? The old lady said, Almost, in about half a year, we should be able to pay it all off. Half a year? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, Didnt you just sell your old house for 30 million? I have calculated for you, the remaining debt was only 10 million, is your 30 million not enough to pay? The old lady was startled. This Shi Huan! She actually told Chu Xiuhuang about the private matters of selling the house? This unfilial daughter! She had made the old lady lose face in front of the younger generation! Chu Xiuhuang continued, Huanhuan was asked to work with me initially to help pay off the debt for the Shi Family. Over the years, she has worked hard and has been both kind and just towards you all! Now that the debt has been paid off, do not bother her with such trivial matters in the future. If I find out that youre leeching off her again, dont blame me for being impolite! The elevator reached the ground floor and the doors opened. Chu Xiuhuang walked out without looking back. Tall and long-legged, his silhouette exudes an aura of superiority and nobility. Madam Shi clutched her chest, almost panting from the shock. Mom Just as Qian Yulin was about to speak, a heavy slap landed on her shoulder from the old woman. Look what your wonderful daughter has done! She told Chu Xiuhuang about selling the house! Such a disrespectful girl! Shes completely tarnished my reputation! ** Chu Xiuhuang called Lu Chenyu as soon as he got back into his car. The call connected quickly. Help me check Shi Huans exit records. Im in court. Then check it once youre done. Ok. After hanging up, Chu Xiuhuang felt an uncomfortable surge of anger. He hadnt contacted Shi Huan since the day she left his home. Because at that time, despite his earnest pleas for her not to leave, this woman showed no pity! Hes a man, and he has dignity! Who knew this woman could be so heartless. Not only did she cut off all contact with him for these past days, but she also left the country so quickly! When did Nanchengs visa process become so efficient? Still unwilling to give up, he dialed Shi Huans number and, as expected. Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try again later. At four in the afternoon, Lu Chenyu finally called back. Chu Xiuhuang immediately asked, When did she leave? Which country? Which city? None. What? None. Lu Chenyu repeated. What do you mean by none? Damn it, you cannot even check something so simple? When did you become so useless? Lu Chenyu continued calmly, There are no exit records for her. Chu Xiuhuang was momentarily stunned. From last Friday to now, within a week, Shi Huan has not left the country. Lu Chenyu rarely spoke so many words at once. It took Chu Xiuhuang a while to regain his senses. There are no exit records. That means, shes still in Nancheng. But where could Shi Huan be? He hung up immediately and redialed Shi Huans number. The same mechanical womans voice answered. Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off, please try again later. Chu Xiuhuang began to sense something was amiss. She hadnt left the country, her phone was off, and no one was at home. Could it be Was Shi Huan in trouble? ** Wellington Primary School. Tu Youran just picked up Luoluo when her phone rang. Minyan, what happened? Youran, can you contact Huanhuan? Upon hearing this name, a jolt of alarm shot through Tu Youran, What happened to Huanhuan? Chu Xiuhuang just called me. He said he cant reach Huanhuans phone and theres been no one at her house for several days. I also asked my mother, she hasnt been in contact for several days. Tu Youran bit her lip, she was so nervous that her fingers were clasping her clothes tightly. She asked, Have you asked her friends and colleagues? I dont know her friends and Ive called Huangyou. They said shes been off work for a week, and her phone is always switched off. How could this be? Tu Youran started to get scared. Could it be Because of the gang rape, had she committed suicide out of shame? At the thought of this possibility, a sudden surge of terror rose from the bottom of her heart, causing Tu Yourans pupils to contract rapidly. After you asked her to pick up Luoluo that day, havent you two been in contact? I dont know. Tu Youran tried to steady her voice, That day, I thought she was busy, so I didnt ask anymore. Ive been too busy with work these past few days to contact her. Shi Minyan didnt speak anymore. Minyan, could something have happened? Tu Youran asked weakly. Shi Minyan sighed, She has been missing for several days, so Chu Xiuhuang reported it to the police. Ok. After hanging up the call, Tu Youran sat there, her entire body shaking uncontrollably. Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: 655, second brother, you should prepare yourself mentally first. Chapter 655: 655, second brother, you should prepare yourself mentally first. Why did it happen this way? If the police find out something happened to Huanhuan, will they investigate her? Mommy? A childish voice rang out, Little Luoluo with furrowed brows timidly asked, What happened to Huanhuan? Tu Youran turned sharply to her daughter, Dont mention her to me! Youre not allowed to mention her! Her voice was loud, her expression was extremely fierce. Little Luoluo shuddered, closing her mouth tightly, not daring to speak again. ** That night, Imperial Court Villa. Su Wanwan had just come out of the bath, Huo Jingshen was sitting on the sofa and raised his eyelids, Wait a moment. He stood up and passed her the phone, Its Xiuhuangs call, he wants to ask you something. Me? Su Wanwan was surprised. What good could come from this social butterfly contacting her? Hello. Sister-in-law, Chu Xiuhuang asked on the other end, Have you been in contact with Huanhuan recently? No. Su Wanwan found that strange, She hasnt spoken in the chat group recently, and the broadcasting station has been quite busy too, I havent contacted her. Huanhuan may be in trouble, can you call Little Princess for me and ask her too? Alright. Su Wanwan hung up the phone and immediately called Mo Weiyi. However, that girl also expressed her surprise, Ive been home recovering from my injuries recently, she didnt come to see me. Su Wanwan sighed, Weiyi, Huanhuan may be in trouble. What do you mean? ** Lishui Bay Villa. After Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, she immediately dialled Zhan Yaos number. After explaining the situation, Zhan Yao asked her, Little Princess, youre saying your friend suddenly disappeared, her phone is off and youve been unable to contact her. So you suspect something happened to her? Yes, can you help me look into it? Arent you a cop? Alright. After the police station filed the case, they started the investigation with people close to Shi Huan, questioning them one by one. All the employees of Huangyou Company, members of the Shi family, even the Tu family members, all were questioned and revealed their last meeting with Shi Huan. Mrs. Shi was petrified by the police and inevitably started cursing again. However, this kind of missing person case is really like finding a needle in a haystack. Nancheng isnt too big or too small, half a day had passed and there was still no news from the police. It wasnt until Friday afternoon that Chu Xiuhuangs phone suddenly rang. The call was from Nangong Ci. Second brother, weve found the secretary, Shi. As soon as he heard this, Chu Xiuhuang quickly stood up, Where is she? Second Brother, prepare yourself first, Nangong Ci hesitated a bit. What do you mean? Nangong Ci sighed, You should come to the hospital. ** Half an hour later, Nangong Hospital. Nangong Ci stood in the corridor outside the high-risk ward, his eyebrows furrowed. Next to him was Dr. Zhu from the Surgery Department, apologizing in a trembling voice, Deputy Director, I didnt know the patient was your friend. If I had known, I would have told you right away. She also didnt have any contact information on her and I really couldnt do anything about it Shut up! Dr. Zhu: As they were talking, Chu Xiuhuang arrived, Wheres the person? He only wore a thin shirt and black dress pants. His hair was messy, his eyebrows furrowed, he looked disheveled. It was as if he came straight from the company. Nangong Ci quickly said, Second Brother, dont be agitated. Secretary Shi is still unconscious. Unconscious? What do you mean? Is she injured? Severely? Chu Xiuhuang bombarded them with a stream of question. Gazing at the tightly shut door, he rushed toward it. Second Brother. Nangong Ci hurriedly stopped him, Listen to me first. Chu Xiuhuang had already looked through the glass panel and seen the woman lying inside. She was wrapped in gauze from head to toe, wearing an oxygen mask on her face, her eyes closed and surrounded by various medical equipment. His fists clenched tightly, Chu Xiuhuangs sharp eyes were fixed on the woman on the bed, his lips pursed into a straight line. Seeing he wasnt talking, Nangong Ci immediately answered, Heres the thing, Secretary Shi was sent in for emergency treatment last Sunday afternoon by an old man. She didnt carry a phone or any ID, and her face was hurt and unidentifiable. We couldnt confirm her identity. It was only this afternoon during a meeting when Dr. Zhu was discussing her case that I found out. Chu Xiuhuang still didnt speak. Nangong Ci had to continue, Secretary Shis injuries are severe. In addition to multiple external wounds and fractures, the most serious injury is to her brain. She was hit by a bat causing a level three concussion, which is why she hasnt woken up. After hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang finally spoke. His voice was very low and carried an intense cold, Who did this? Were not sure yet, we can only wait for Secretary Shi to wake up. While Nangong Ci was speaking, he was constantly pulling on Chu Xiuhuangs arm, fearing he might rush in. In fact, Chu Xiuhuangs arm muscles had been tense for a while, indicating that he was quite agitated. His hand clenched into a fist, and his narrow, phoenix-like eyes were a bright red, as if suppressing great anger. After a while, he ground out a few words through clenched teeth, This stupid woman! Nangong Ci coughed a few times. Immediately after. Chu Xiuhuang violently turned his head, She has been in your hospital for so many days, and you only know about it now? What kind of deputy director are you? Do you only spend your days flirting with nurses? Nangong Ci could only apologise, Second Brother, I was wrong. Seeing how agitated Chu Xiuhuang was, he didnt dare to say anything more. After all, Chu Xiuhuang had always been debonair, with countless girlfriends, and Shi Huan had been with him for many years with no issues. Although they had been claiming to be dating recently, Shi Huans reaction had been cold, so whether they were really dating was uncertain. Moreover, even if the two of them were really together, they had not been together for a long time, and their feelings for each other were probably not deep. Now she had encountered such a thing Nangong Ci felt that no man would not care about his womans honor, especially someone as proud as Chu Xiuhuang. Who knew Chu Xiuhuang would start asking questions himself, You just said, who brought her to the hospital? Nangong Ci had no choice but to explain, It was an old man who cleans. He said that at the time, he saw five men attacking Secretary Shi Five men? Some things didnt need to be spoken so explicitly. Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fist and remained silent. His handsome face was unusually taut, his forehead was throbbing, his cheeks twitched from time to time, and his body seemed to be slightly trembling. Second brother, are you OK? Nangong Ci was a little worried. Having known him for more than twenty years, he had never seen Chu Xiuhuang like this before. After a long while, Chu Xiuhuang finally spoke, his voice cool and calm, Take me to change clothes. Okay. Nangong Ci immediately called over a nurse. Chu Xiuhuang quickly put on a sterile suit and pushed the door open to enter the high-risk ward. He stood by the bed for a long while before he finally sat down on the chair. He looked at the woman in front of him wrapped up like a mummy. Was this Shi Huan? Was this the Shi Huan who was always provoking him and annoying him? Chu Xiuhuang found he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Nangong Ci stood behind him, silently accompanying him. Dr. Zhu didnt dare to speak either. The entire ward was eerily silent, only the sound of medical machinery echoed throughout the room. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a phone rang. Chu Xiuhuang seemed to be brought back to reality, stood up, and went outside to answer the call. Nangong Ci looked at Shi Huan and followed him out. Weve found the people. Keep investigating. Thank you. After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiuhuang asked, When will she wake up? At Nangong Cis cue, Dr. Zhu hurriedly spoke, Shes been in a coma for five days. In this condition, the patient might wake up soon, or might never wake up Never wake up? Chu Xiuhuang scoffed, Youd better pray she wakes up; otherwise, you wont have a chance to sleep for the rest of your life. Dr. Zhu: Damn, why is this Chu less terrifying than the deputy director? Nangong Ci waved his hand impatiently, Get out of here! Such low EQ! Dr. Zhu turned and ran. Second Brother, dont worry. I believe Secretary Shi will wake up. She is such a good person; heaven will be on her side Chu Xiuhuang cut him off directly, Give me the contact information of the person who brought her to the hospital. Okay, Ill check right away. ** The following day was the weekend. Bright and early, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen came to the hospital to visit Shi Huan. Once there, they found out that Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai were also there, along with a strange young man. Wanwan, Boss Huo. Mo Weiyi, pulling Su Wanwans arm, murmured, Huanhuan is so pitiful. Who could be so heartless as to hurt her like this? They are simply not human! Zhan Yao coughed twice, In these situations, its usually because someone holds a grudge. Who could Huanhuan have offended? Mo Weiyi scrunched her delicate face, Its all your fault! After investigating for three days, you still havent found anything? Are the police really that useless? Zhan Yao again cleared his throat, The police have already questioned everyone. The last person to see Miss Shi was a member of the Shi family. At that time, Miss Shi said she was going abroad, so her phone was unreachable for a few days. Everyone thought she had gone abroad. Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: 656, Chu Er dominantly oppresses the scum Chapter 656: 656, Chu Er dominantly oppresses the scum What a family! Couldnt get through on the phone, couldnt find anyone, they shouldve reported this immediately after so many days! Now that shes injured like this, they still havent come to see her? I think Huanhuan was hurt by her own family! It makes me furious Mo Weiyi wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xiao Yebai. Zhan Yao helplessly said, Little Princess, Im not in charge of this case, so theres not much I can do. How about I try to rush my colleagues when I get back? Xiao Yebai said indifferently, You can go now. You got it! Zhan Yao turned and ran immediately. Mo Weiyi snorted and muttered, I was supposed to return to my law firms internship on Monday. I planned to ask Huanhuan for some work-related guidance, now Its my fault, I shouldve taken more care of her, Su Wanwan said. The two men didnt speak, and the atmosphere seemed a bit downbeat. They didnt know the exact situation, Chu Xiuhuang didnt go into details, so everyone thought Shi Huan was just the victim of a misfortune. Besides feeling worried, it seemed they couldnt do anything else but wait for Shi Huan to embrace consciousness. ** At that time, in the Shi Familys living room. Tu Youran sat on the couch, seeming nervous and jumpy. Next to her, the old lady stubbornly said, What are you doing, asking me to go to the hospital to see her? No way! Im not going! Shi Minyan tried to persuade her, Mom, Huanhuan hasnt been avoiding you intentionally recently, she was injured. The hospital says we have to go there. Im not going! The old lady protested hysterically, The police came a few days ago, its as if they want to scare me to death! This damn girl must have offended someone, otherwise how could she have been beaten up like this? I cant go, if I go and am seen by her enemies, then what will I do when they come for me? Qian Yulin was speechless. Shi Minyan couldnt help sighing either, How could that be? Mom, Huanhuan is injured now, its exactly the time when she needs her familys support. When did she support me! Im not going! Im not going! The old lady stormed off back to her room after saying this. Qian Yulin reluctantly said, Lets drop it, Minyan, Ill go with you. Okay. That was all they could do. Youran, lets go. Tu Youran sat there without responding. Youran? Youran? Suddenly touched on the shoulder, Tu Youran snapped out of her daze, Huh! What happened? Shi Minyan frowned, Whats wrong with you? Why have you been so absent-minded these days? Didnt you hear me calling you for a long time? Tu Youran hurriedly said, Minyan, Im not feeling well, can I go home and rest? Hearing this, Shi Minyans face immediately turned gloomier, We agreed to go see Huanhuan together today. Shes been missing for days, you as her aunt didnt inquire about it, and now that shes injured, you wont go to see her either? How is that acceptable? If it gets out, what will others think? Tu Youran could only get up, I see. After getting in the car, Qian Yulin asked, Minyan, how is Huanhuan? Is the injury serious? I only found out when the police called, they said she has been in the hospital for a few days and the injury is quite serious. Why would this happen? As Qian Yulin spoke, her nose started to sting, and her eyes turned red. Her pitiful daughter was abducted by human traffickers when she was young and only returned to Shi Family after living till fifteen in an orphanage. She didnt manage to enjoy the good life for long until tragedy hit the Shi family. For all these years, she has been working hard to repay the Shi familys debt. Now that the debt is almost clear, she ran into such a situation. As Shi Minyan was driving and trying to console her, he noticed Tu Youran being absorbed in her thoughts in the back seat, feeling even more unrest. The phone suddenly rang. Tu Youran quickly answered, Hello? What? The report is wrong? Okay, I got it, Ill be there right away. Having said that, she quickly hung up the phone, Minyan, sister-in-law, Im sorry, the company suddenly has an urgent matter and asked me to rush over. Qian Yulin was stunned. Shi Minyan couldnt hold back his anger, Whats wrong with you? Cant you just say you cant leave because a family member is in the hospital? I dont have a choice, the manager asked me to go there immediately, or I will have to bear the consequences. Tu Youran spoke softly, Sister-in-law, Im really sorry, let Minyan accompany you to the hospital. Ill finish up at the company and join you immediately, okay? Given what she said, Qian Yulin could only nod, Well, if thats the case, you should go to the company first. Shi Minyan didnt say anything, just sharply turned the car to the right and parked by the roadside. Tu Youran bit her lip and unbuckled her seatbelt, Minyan, Im sorry. She got out of the car, watching as the black Audi slowly drove away, and only then did she finally relax. People often say the thief has a guilty conscience. Tu Youran had really not been living well these days. Shi Huan disappeared for several days, and she was nervous for several days. When the police came to visit a couple of days ago, she had nightmares that night! But Huanhuan, dont blame me. I was just protecting my love, my family. Dont worry, once your injuries heal, I will make it up to you. The phone rang again, Tu Youran answered, Mom. Her mother asked, Youran, whats going on, you mentioned something about the company what do you mean? Its nothing, Mom, I was just feeling a bit unwell and wanted to go home to rest. Oh, thats good. While mother and daughter were talking, Tu Youran quickly hailed a taxi. But as soon as she arrived home and the elevator door opened, she heard the sound of a childs laughter. The door to her flat was open? She quickly walked over and found that indeed, the front door was wide open, and the sound of Luoluos laughter was particularly clear. She walked in with a stern face, Luoluo! Luoluo, frightened by the sound, quickly turned around, Mom. Youre Tu Youran? A cold male voice suddenly rang out. Tu Youran got a big shock but, taking a closer look, she noticed a tall, slender man in black standing by the door next to the floor-to-ceiling window. His face was long and narrow, his features fine, handsome, with a pair of narrow, deep phoenix eyes, they looked familiar. Who are you? Before Tu Youran could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly appeared before her eyes. Ah, let me go, let go Tu Youran widened her eyes, too stunned to react, and found herself being strangled and dragged into the bedroom. The door slammed shut. Tranquillity returned to the living room. On the sofa, Little Luoluo stood there, holding her Peppa Pig toy in a tight embrace. Her large, clear eyes filled with confusion. Wheres Mommy? Luoluo, be a good girl. Would you like to go out and play with your brother-in-law? Chu Xiuhuang asked, and with that, he picked up the little girl. The sweet aroma of her filled his senses. Little Luoluo reached up her small hand, encircling Chu Xiuhuangs arms, nodding meekly with approval, Okay. Chu Xiuhuang smiled slightly, Lets go. And, just like that, he carried Little Luoluo away. As for what transpired in the bedroom Tu Youran was dragged in and thrown straight onto the floor. The act was so rough and forceful that it left her dazed. With no light penetrating through the tightly drawn curtains, the room bore an eerie and terrifying air. Her mind spinning, Tu Youran just managed to steady herself when suddenly, the lights flicked on, illuminating the bedroom as bright as day. Tu Youran opened her eyes, and the sight that confronted her caused her to let out a piercing scream, Who are you? What do you want with me? Unbelievably, the room was filled with men! A total of 10 men! 10 strangers! They lined the walls, each standing tall and rugged with grotesque faces. Fear seized Tu Youran. As she scrambled to her feet to flee the room, she was swiftly pulled back by the arm and thrown back down. Help! Someone, please help! Tu Youran screamed for rescue. Stop yelling! The man who had brought her here sneered contemptuously. His voice was cold and brutal. We havent even begun. I advise you to conserve your energy. Wh what do you mean? The man chuckled, Still clueless, are you? Then think about what youve done. Have you figured it out yet? No Tu Yourans voice was filled with despair. Was the dreadful thing she had been fearing finally about to unfold? Left with no time to think, she could only make her last desperate plea, I beg of you, let me go. Ill give you whatever amount of money you want Chu has offered us more money than you could ever afford in your lifetime. As Chu Xiuhuang has ordered, ten men, not one less. For every affront his woman had endured, he would see to it that this woman suffered double. The man gave a start of annoyance, What are you waiting for? The rest of the men immediately lunged at her. Tu Youran cried out in distress, No! No! Ahhhhh Yet no matter how she thrashed about or resisted, no matter how loudly she screamed, her nightmare had just begun. The womans shrieks echoed, unbearably agonizing. Tu Youran was caught in the worst nightmare she had ever experienced in her life. She screamed until her voice became hoarse, to the point where she could no longer utter a single word. Dizziness swirled her mind. Eventually, she lost all sense of shame, praying numbly for the nightmare to end. She felt as though she were as good as dead. In her dazed state, she thought she heard someone speaking. Mr. Chu, all done. Got the video recording. Good, I understand. She lay there like a corpse, her mind clouded. She could vaguely hear rustling noises, the creaking of the door opening, footsteps receding The room once again quietened. Tu Youran stirred and, gritting her teeth, she managed to pull her battered self up from the floor. She had to clean the room immediately! She couldnt leave any trace behind! Nobody must know what happened today! Especially Shi Minyan. If they found out, she was done for! Completely done for! Medicine! Right, there was also medicine! Tu Youran rummaged through the cabinets until she finally found a box of contraception pills. Without any water to take them with, she swallowed two dry. After taking care of everything, she steered herself out of the bedroom with a trash bag in hand. The living room was tranquil. The main door stayed shut, and there wasnt a single soul in sight. Luoluo was nowhere to be seen. She was all by herself, all alone Tu Youran stood there, staring into the emptiness. Suddenly, she couldnt help but burst into uncontrollable loud sobs. ** Nangong Hospital. Shi Minyan and Qian Yulin rushed to the hospital as quickly as they could, but they could only catch a glimpse of Shi Huan through the glass windows of the ICU. It wasnt because they didnt want to go in, but Im sorry, but the vice dean said that Miss Shi is still in a critical condition. No visitors are allowed inside, explained a nurse. Upon hearing this, Qian Yulin burst into tears. Her poor daughter. It had been a week since the incident and she was yet to regain consciousness? All Shi Minyan could do was quietly console her. Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: 657, who is the big boss behind it? Chapter 657: 657, who is the big boss behind it? The others were sitting quietly as well. The atmosphere had already been quite somber. As they heard the heart-wrenching cries, the two young girls almost had tears in their eyes, too. Huo Jingshen checked the time, Lets go home first. They had been waiting here for almost an hour without seeing anyone. To be honest, just guarding here like this was completely pointless. But when will Huanhuan wake up? Su Wanwan asked him. The mistress said its uncertain. When she wakes up, we can come over to visit her again, okay? Su Wanwan could only nod, Alright then. Xiao Yebai timely also suggested, Should we go back first? Mo Weiyi nodded her head. As the four of them stood up, ready to leave, a cell phone ringing abruptly broke the silence. Mo Weiyi took out her phone, glanced at it, and quickly answered, Zhan Yao, any new discoveries? Little Princess, the case has been broken. Has the case been cracked? Mo Weiyi was surprised and delighted. She looked at the others. Alright, hurry up and speak, Huanhuans family is also here. Having said that, she turned on the speakerphone. Zhan Yaos voice rang out, I only found out when I reached the police station. An hour ago, someone drove a truck to the police station and dumped six large sacks. Inside each was a man, all beaten to a pulp. Not only had their tendons been severed, their genitals were also cut off. They are all currently unconscious. Once they wake up, we will interrogate them, and I will give you the detailed situation then. Mo Weiyi opened her mouth wide in surprise: The others too: Seeing that she didnt say anything, Zhan Yao couldnt help but laugh, Little Princess, were you scared? But your sister is quite powerful. Is there a powerful backer supporting her behind the scenes? Six fully grown men, all bloody, were tied up in sacks and delivered to the police station. This is a bold move! You dont know how scared our policewomen were when they opened the sacks. After hanging up the phone, the scene fell silent. Who do you think is avenging Huanhuan? This is rather brutal, isnt it? After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she changed the topic, But I like it! Retaliation should be this straightforward and brutal! Those scumbags, who were so vicious to Huanhuan, a helpless woman, definitely need to spend the rest of their lives rotting in jail! Once Huanhuan wakes up, Ill ask her who she knows. Thats so awesome! Su Wanwan: Who else could it be, except Chu Xiuhuang? This kind of retaliation, its obviously because they are not afraid of causing trouble. If Mo Xiaose knew that the person she admires is the man she hates the most, oh my oh my. Qian Yulin was so frightened by all this that she turned pale and couldnt find words to speak. As for the other three men present, although none of them expressed their thoughts, it appeared that Everything had already been said without words. ** Brother-in-law, can I have an ice cream? In a low-key luxury black car, Little Luoluo sat in Chu Xiuhuangs arms, opening her small mouth and timidly making a request. She really wanted to eat an ice cream! It had been a long time since she had had an ice cream! She just happened to see a dessert shop passing by, so she couldnt help but salivate. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, then directly ordered his bodyguard, Go and buy an ice cream. Little Luoluos eyes lit up, I want a strawberry-flavored one! Buy a strawberry-flavored one. Chu Xiuhuang ordered again. So, they parked the car. A burly bodyguard got out of the car, went to the roadside dessert shop, bought a strawberry-flavored ice cream, and carefully handed it to the little princess. Little Luoluo took the ice cream, took a bite, and squinted her eyes contentedly. Is it good? Chu Xiuhuang asked. Yes, its good! Little Luoluo nodded her head energetically. But she was a good girl, so she immediately offered the ice cream to Chu Xiuhuang, Brother-in-law, its for you. Chu Xiuhuang: This isnt the ice cream I bought, is it? And now shes treating me to it? Yet, seeing how cute and naive she was, he let it pass. He opened his thin lips and symbolically took a bite. This was seriouslysweet! He had never had anything so sweet in his life! Brother-in-law, is it good? Little Luoluo learnt from his tone and asked him the same question. Yes, its good, Chu Xiuhuang replied kindly. And so, Little Luoluo broke out into giggles. The driver saw their boss holding a sweet and cute little girl and sharing a strawberry ice cream. Overwhelmed, he was left muttering under his breath. What the f**k. Isnt this the demon who just ordered them to brutally beat up six scumbags, sever their tendons, chop off their balls, deliver them to the police station, and arrange for 10 men to assault that woman? Oh, dear child, do you know that your mother is being violated by the very men your brother-in-law has arranged? Its so tragic, her own mother has been abused in such a way, and yet shes hugging the enemy and calling him brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, I miss Huanhuan. Little Luoluo suddenly thought of Huanhuan. It would be nice if Huanhuan were here at such a happy time. Chu Xiuhuang said, Huanhuan is sick right now, Ill take you to see her after a while. What kind of sickness does Huanhuan have? Little Luoluo frowned, her little face filled with concern, Is she in a lot of pain when shes sick? Yes, so Luoluo needs to be extra nice to Huanhuan. Little Luoluo nodded enthusiastically, Can I go see Huanhuan? We will visit her when she recovers, alright? Little Luoluo could only continue nodding, Huanhuan, get better soon. She will. Luoluo then focused on eating her ice cream. Chu Xiuhuang sat there as the bodyguard aimlessly drove the car, not knowing where they were headed. It wasnt until Chu Xiuhuang finally broke the silence, instructing, Drive back to the military compound. Understood, Young Master Chu. Luoluo, how about I take you to play with a little brother? Chu Xiuhuang wasnt quite sure where to take a five-year-old girl to play. He recalled that Fu Ziyang was also a first-grade student at Wellington Primary School, so he decided to let the kids play together. Little Luoluo obediently agreed, Okay. ** When they reached the compound, Chu Xiuhuang didnt even return to the Chu familys place but had the driver pull right up to the entrance of the Huo family home. Indeed, as soon as they entered the yard, they could hear the sounds of laughter and conversation from the living room. However Why did the old mans voice sound so familiar? Upon entering the house, just as expected. You little brat, why are you here? The old Chu man jumped up in surprise. He hadnt seen his grandson in almost a month, and now he was unexpectedly meeting him at someone elses home. What shocked him the most was When he saw the beautiful girl in Chu Xiuhuangs arms, he almost choked in shock, Youyouwhen did you have an illegitimate daughter? At his words, both Mr and Mrs Huo were shocked as well. An illegitimate daughter? What the hell was that? As Mrs Huo looked at Little Luoluo she immediately told the old Master Chu, Old Chu, you are misunderstanding, this is the younger sister of Secretary Shi! Old Master Chu was dumbfounded. The younger sister of Secretary Shi? Chu Xiuhuang also said, Cant you wish for the best for me? Every day its either forcing him to go on blind dates or worrying about him having illegitimate children C was he really that unreliable? But Old Master Chu asked him, What really happened back then? You better clarify everything! I have no idea what youre talking about! Chu Xiuhuang didnt want to deal with him, instead he asked, Grandma Huo, Grandpa Huo, is Ziyang at home? Hes upstairs. Do you need him for something? Chu Xiuhuang said, Id like him to play with Luoluo for a bit. Without delay, Grandma Huo called a servant over, Go upstairs and ask Ziyang to come down. Yes, Madam. The servant quickly went upstairs and called Fu Ziyang down. At first, Chu Xiuhuang was a bit worried. He and Fu Ziyang had met a few times, and this little nephew of his had a rather aloof personality. Although he was only five, he acted like a little old man C not talkative at all, very unlike a lively child. If Fu Ziyang was really unwilling to play with the little girl, he would just take Luoluo to play with Xiaoye, and buy off the little guy with some cash. Contrary to his expectations, when Fu Ziyang saw Little Luoluo, he became exceptionally enthusiastic, he was almost smiling as he invited her, Luoluo, Im playing with blocks. Want to join me? Little Luoluo nodded her head, Sure. Lets go. With that, Fu Ziyang even extended his little hand. In Chu Xiuhuangs astonished gaze, Little Luoluo also extended her little hand. As a result, the two little ones lovingly held hands and went upstairs. Chu Xiuhuang: What the hell! This little brat! Always so aloof, quiet, turns out it was all an act! Now, seeing such a pretty little girl, he became so enthusiastic, even wanted to take her to his room? To be alone? This was so sinister! Ahuang, come, have some strawberries. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his thin lips, walked over, sat down and was just about to pick up a strawberry when there was a smack. And slap! A slap landed on the back of Chu Xiuhuangs hand. Old Master Chu had slapped him. Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: 658, old man Chu finally has a great-granddaughter. Chapter 658: 658, old man Chu finally has a great-granddaughter. The strawberry fell. Chu Xiuhuang grimaced in pain, Grandpa, what are you doing! It hurts! Speak up! Whats going on with the little girl! I told you long ago, have fun but always take precautions. You cant let a woman carry your child, you little troublemaker. Im going to beat you to death today! As he spoke, Old Master Chu picked up a feather duster from the side and began to lash out. Chu Xiuhuang quickly dodged, Grandpa, were at someone elses house, can you not make a fool of yourself? Are you afraid that people will see your joke? The whole Chu Family, who doesnt know that my Chu Dongges grandson is just another Wei Xiaobao! Chu Xiuhuangs face immediately turned black at the comparison to Wei Xiaobao. All day long, never serious. Youre thirty years old, yet you still think youre twenty? Look at Ashen, hes settled down with a young wife and living a carefree life! You, on the other hand, are barely a few months younger than him, but the gap is enormous. What sins did I commit in my past life, to have given birth to a wicked beast like you! I was born to my mother, not to you. You little rascal! The Old Master Chu was furious, picking up the feather duster to hit him. Alright, alright. Grandma Huo interjected, grabbing the feather duster and making a show of breaking up the fight. Marriage is all about destiny, no use in rushing it. Who knows, maybe Ahuang isnt destined to get married in this life. Chu Xiuhuang: Oh, my dear Grandma Huo, are you trying to help me or hurt me? As expected, Old Master Chus face turned pale from the scare, and he stopped talking. He remembered an old prediction about his descendants marriages being difficult to secure. Could this be Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple of times, picking up a strawberry and putting it in his mouth. So sweet! A while later, his phone suddenly rang. He stood up, Ill go take this call. As Chu Xiuhuang walked out to the balcony, Old Master Chu suddenly stood up, Ill go and check on the two kids. The kids are playing by themselves, what are you worried about? Old Master Chu chuckled awkwardly, I still feel like checking. Grandma Huo didnt think much of it, Go ahead, theyre on the second floor. ** Old Master Chu arrived on the second floor, followed the sound, and came to the childrens room, he knocked on the door before entering. The two little ones were sitting on the plush floor mat, playing with Lego. Seeing Old Master Chu barging in, Little Luoluo tilted her pretty face, her large eyes blinking. In Chu Old Masters eyes, this little girl was just too lovely, which gradually turned his smile into somewhat of a smirk, Tell grandpa your name, will you? A wary Fu Ziyang glanced at him. Somehow, this Chu Old Masters laugh gave off a rather malicious vibe. With a baby voice, Little Luoluo answered, My name is Luoluo. So your name is Luoluo, whats your relationship with my grandson? Old Master Chu began to prod. My grandson? Little Luoluo didnt understand. Chu Xiuhuang hadnt introduced this old man downstairs. She pursed her lips, holding back her words. The heart of the Chu Old Master, however, was set ablaze. It must be that little brat who wouldnt allow her to speak the truth! He sat down on the mat with difficulty, closely observing this little girl from up close. Four or five years old, flaunting two long pigtails, her little face pale and tender, adorned with baby fat, but particularly endearing. Her delicate and dainty features promised a future beauty. Unable to resist, he suddenly reached out. Ah! Little Luoluo cried out in surprise. The bangs on her forehead were all pushed up. Grandpa, what are you doing? Fu Ziyang quickly came forward, attempting to shield his little girlfriend. But Old Master Chu was inexpressibly excited. Beautys dimple! This young girl had beautys dimples too! All the children born into the Chu Family had beautys dimples! That damn Ahuang, he really had an illegitimate daughter outside! And he didnt even tell him! That damn boy! But while cursing, Old Master Chu was thrilled, his eyes were even somewhat moist. Oh, heavens! Finally, I, Old Chu, have a great-granddaughter! He immediately asked, Luoluo, whos your mommy? Little Luoluo was already a little frightened by him. He was muttering all sorts of things, just like a bad guy! Fu Ziyang was also on guard, seeing Old Master Chu staring at Little Luoluo, he decisively pulled her behind him. With righteous indignation, he said, Grandpa, Luoluo is timid, dont scare her. Im not! Old Master Chu felt wronged. Wasnt he allowed to get excited about seeing his great-granddaughter for the first time? After some thought, he said, You must be tired from playing, right? Would you like a drink? Grandpa can go downstairs and get you some, would that be okay? Fu Ziyang eyed him suspiciously. An idle mind is the devils workshop! Little Luoluo hid behind him, only her pair of clear, large eyes were visible. Chu Grandpa smiled widely and offered, What do you like? Mangoes, strawberries, or oranges? Maybe some milk? Or Soda? Sprite? Nutri-Express? Wahaha? Suan Wei Wei? He listed all the drinks that he could think of which children like. Little Luoluo couldnt resist after hearing those items and licked her lips, she whispered to Fu Ziyang, I want to drink orange juice. Fu Ziyang yet to answer. Ill go get that for you! The old man hustled up immediately and happily ran out of the kids room. Fu Ziyang: .. Little Luoluo: .. ** Grandpa Chu rushed downstairs, ordering imperiously, Quickly, get me some orange juice! At this time, Chu Xiuhuang had finished his call and returned. He felt embarrassed seeing the old man acting this way. So disgraceful! He was at someone elses house as a guest and yet behaving this way! Grandpa Huo also looked upset, Go home if you want to drink something! Such miserliness! Fine, Ill do it myself! Grandpa Chu stormed off into the kitchen. The domestic help reluctantly went on to help him. A few minutes later, Grandpa Chu cheerfully returned upstairs with a cup of orange juice. Chu Xiuhuang shook his head, this old man was never serious since his grandmother passed away. ** Here it is, the orange juice! Grandpa Chu said, returning to the childrens room with the juice. Fu Ziyang was frowning. Hee hee, he promised to bring them orange juice, then why is there only one cup? Here, Luoluo, drink it quickly. Its specially made by your grandpa. He had already referred to himself as Grandpa. Little Luoluo looked at him and finally accepted the juice, thanking him politely, Thank you grandpa. No need to thank me, just go ahead and drink it. Grandpa Chu looked ecstatic, watching the little girl bring the cup of juice to her lips and taking several sips. He quickly asked with a kind smile, Is the juice good? Its good. Little Luoluo said in her milk-and-honey voice, and put down the cup. Want more? Grandpa Chu asked again. Little Luoluo shook her little head, Im full. Hearing this, Fu Ziyang immediately reached out his little hand, Then Ill drink Before he could finish his sentence, Grandpa Chu picked up the juice and ran out of the room. Fu Ziyang again: .. Little Luoluo also: .. ** Grandpa Chu returned to the ground floor with the cup, Im going home. Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, Where are you going? Home! Grandpa Chu didnt even look back. Hey, old man! If youre going home, at least leave their cup! Chu Xiuhuang raised his voice. But no matter how loudly he shouted, Grandpa Chu, with half a glass of orange juice, already disappeared from sight. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang felt awkward, Im sorry, Granny Huo, Grandpa Huo. My grandpa might have dementia. He forgets things. He has taken the cup from their house openly. So embarrassing! Ill return the cup later. He quickly added. Dont worry, if he likes it he can take it. Granny Huo was very generous. Grandpa Huo gave her a look in response. That was his favorite set of white jade teacups! Granny Huo pretended not to see this. Checking the time, Chu Xiuhuang asked, Is my elder brother coming today, Granny Huo? He said he is visiting a friend in the hospital, he might not come today. Alright, I will leave as well. After all, he has important things to do. Ahuang, stay for lunch. Granny Huo stopped him, The lunchtime is almost here, dont let the child go hungry. Thinking about the little girl upstairs, Chu Xiuhuang hesitated and then agreed, Alright. Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: 659, Dementia in the Elderly Chapter 659: 659, Dementia in the Elderly On the other side, Shi Minyan stayed at the hospital until noon before driving Qian Yulin home. It was already a little past one in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the house, Old Madam Shi started complaining, How could you leave an old lady like me here alone with no food cooked! Are you trying to starve me to death? Qian Yulin quickly asked, Mother, wheres the maid? Who am I supposed to ask then? answered the old lady. Qian Yulin: She had no choice but to call the maid, only to find out that she could not make it today due to a sudden matter. She immediately said, Mother, Ill prepare your meal now. Old Madam Shi frowned as she watched her daughter-in-law go into the kitchen. She asked her son, How is that damned girl? Shi Minyan sighed, The case has been solved, but Huanhuan has offended someone. She has been severely beaten by a gang of men and is still in the intensive care unit. A gang of men? What do you mean, did she get assaulted again Old Madam Shi slapped her thigh, Oh, the misfortune! Why does our Shi family always have to experience such things! Whats wrong with that damned girl, she never seems to learn! If word of this gets out, how will she ever get married? Mother, would you please stop making things up? Am I making things up? What does the police say? The police has not yet figured it out It must be true then! Oh, that damned girl, what curse has our Shi family incurred Knock, knock, knock, the door was knocked. Shi Minyan immediately went to answer it. But as soon as he saw the man standing outside Mr. Chu. Chu Xiuhuang stood at the door, a slightly tilted face revealed his narrow, squinting phoenix eyes. In his arms was Little Luoluo! The little girl leaned against the man, and her little hands tightly wrapped around his neck in a gesture of strong trust. She had her mouth pursed, her pretty little face was very quiet. Looking at the two people in front of him, Shi Minyan oddly felt, albeit for a second, that their expressions eerily looked alike. But How is that even possible? Chu Xiuhuang said, Mr. Shi, there is something Id like to show you. Shi Minyan nodded, Alright. He stretched out his hand, Luoluo. Little Luoluo pursed her lips but detangled her hands from Chu Xiuhuang, letting Shi Minyan hold her. Go play with grandma. Little Luoluo was put on the floor, she looked at the two men and obediently turned around and ran into the house. Chu Xiuhuang tipped his head to the side, Follow me. Shi Minyan: He was two years older than Chu Xiuhuang, but Chus commanding tone He held back his emotions and followed him. Chu Xiuhuang approached the security door, pulled it open and went inside. The staircase was desolate, quiet and an ideal place for a private conversation. After closing the door, Chu Xiuhuang was straightforward. He pulled out his phone and fiddled with it for a bit. Ive sent you two videos, watch them yourself, he said. Shi Minyan frowned, understandably confused. He reluctantly took out his phone and clicked on the first video Chu Xiuhuang had sent. The video showed a strange man lying on the ground, moaning in pain. He was bleeding profusely, especially from his face where one could notice clear markings inflicted by a knife. Struggling to talk, he said, Ill tell you, Ill tell you everything! A woman from the Tu family asked me to do all this! She asked me to find some men to test whether Miss Shi really had an aversion to male touch or not, she even said to teach her a lesson so she would never harbor any inappropriate thoughts about her husband I swear, Im telling the truth, and all the men working under me did everything I didnt know they would act so violentlyMr. Chu, please forgive me this once, Ill never dare to again, Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu His voice abruptly stopped. Simultaneously, Shi Minyans fingers trembled, dropping the phone which clattered loudly on the floor. Why? Shi Minyan looked horrified, Why did this happen? He had doubted it, had Huanhuan truly offended someone to such an extent she would go through such a horrific ordeal! But what he could never imagine was that the instigator behind the scenes was his own wife, Tu Youran? Chu Xiuhuang sneered coldly, There is another video, wont you look at it? Shi Minyan, trembling, picked up the phone from the ground. The second video showed Tu Youran and a man together, completely unedited Everything was crystal clear! Shi Minyan seemed like a statue, not moving at all. After an indefinite amount of time, Chu Xiuhuang coldly said, Ive always said it, Huanhuan is my woman. Im a man who seeks revenge for the slightest insult. Whoever lets my woman suffer, Ill make sure she pays double! Then, a ring of smoke rose from his thin lips, his eyes narrowed into a slant line, You guys better pray Huanhuan wakes up soon, otherwise if I get angry, Ill make the whole Tu Family pay for Yourans actions! In the afternoon. Shi Minyan finally returned home. Minyan, youre back, Tu Youran helped him sit on the sofa, Hows Huanhuan doing, is she severely injured? Shi Minyan sat there, his eyes fixed on her, bloodshot and piercing. Tu Youran felt uneasy under his stare, but she thought that she had cleaned up all the evidence at home, he would never find out about it! So, she said softly, Minyan, I apologize. I was busy with work today and just got home How about I visit Huanhuan at the hospital tomorrow? Shi Minyan reached out his hands. Tu Youran was caught off guard. He abruptly grabbed her clothes, then he tore at them. Ah! Tu Youran was startled, quickly pulling her collar back in place, Minyanwhat are you doing? Who did it? Shi Minyans face was pale. I Tu Youran nervously scrambled for an excuse, only to You whore! Shi Minyan raised his hand and slapped her. The blow was so forceful that Tu Youran was knocked onto the sofa. Because of the pain, it took her a while to raise her head, tears had already streamed down her face, Minyan, listen to my explanation, I I was also forced! I too, am a victimAh! Another slap landed on her face. How dare you argue! Shi Minyan stood up, grabbed her hair, Tell me! Did you arrange the assault on Huanhuan? Ah?! Tu Youran, in pain and panic, hurriedly denied, Minyan, what are you talking about? I did not! You fucking liar! Unable to contain his rage, Shi Minyan slapped her again. Three consecutive slaps left Tu Yourans face swollen and bruised. Her tears were mingled with her sobs, a pitiful sight. Minyan, I really didnt do it Will you fucking admit it or not! Shi Minyan tightened his grip. He detested Tu Yourans maliciousness! And he hated himself for being kept in the dark for so long! But above all, he couldnt stand the disgrace of his wife being ravished by 10 men! When Chu Xiuhuang bluntly showed him the video, he felt utterly humiliated. He had been made a cuckold! Minyan, dont listen to their nonsense. I really didnt do it, Huanhuans assault had nothing to do with me, I swear I dont know anything! Tu Youran sobbed uncontrollably, pleading her innocence non-stop. You wont repent until youre on your death bed! Shi Minyan snorted, retrieved his phone, and played the first video. As the familiar male voice resounded, Tu Yourans face turned deathly pale. When the video was over. What more have you got to say! Shi Minyan demanded. Minyan, listen to my explanation, Tu Youran frantically searched for an excuse, I didnt ask them to abuse Huanhuan, nor to hit her. I just wanted to test her. After all, I introduced her to so many men, and every time she rejected them, saying she had a psychological scar from that incident years ago, and she couldnt get too close to men. I just wanted them to test her Knowing she has a trauma regarding men, you still let men touch her? How vicious are you?! Youre a damn shrew! I should never have married you! Ive just let a wolf into the house! Furious beyond belief, Shi Minyan couldnt help himself and swiftly gave her a rough kick. Ah! Tu Youran let out another scream, the kick sent her tumbling to the ground. Her stomach ached, her buttocks ached, her entire body was in pain! Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: 660, Second Brother, Secretary Shi has woken up! Chapter 660: 660, Second Brother, Secretary Shi has woken up! Already feeling terrible, the kick she received made her break out in a sweat, and she was so distressed that she almost lost consciousness. Shi Minyans voice rose again. Huanhuan was violently assaulted six years ago. Since then, she hides behind glasses every day, too scared to reveal her true face due to the shadow that men have given her! Over these years, she hasnt had a boyfriend and works hard every day to pay off the debts of the Shi Family! Why are you so ruthless, treating such a kind-hearted girl like something less than an animal! Why? Speak up! Why? Tu Youran laughed, suddenly lifting her head, Do you have the audacity to ask me why? Why do I act this way, dont you really know? Shi Minyan, we have been married for nearly six years now, but how many times have you touched me throughout these years? On our wedding day, you used being drunk as an excuse to avoid me! After getting married, if it werent for my parents urging us to have children, you would never touch me on your own initiative! Even after giving birth to Luoluo, even when I had to swallow my pride and approach you, you still didnt want to touch me! You are my husband, but have you really ever treated me like your wife? If it werent to protect Huanhuan in the first place, maybe you wouldnt have married me at all, right? If it werent for the existence of Luoluo, maybe you wouldve wanted to divorce me long ago, right? What are all these things for, dont you think I know? If I keep quiet, you think you can make a fool out of me, right? Shi Minyan looked at her, furrowing his brows, and his jaw tightened gradually. Haha, you think youve hidden your feelings for Huanhuan so well that nobody knows? Let me tell you, Ive known about your shameless affair for a long time! Youre not embarrassed to do such reprehensible things! Who are you to accuse me now? All the things Ive done are because of your provocations! I am merely trying to protect my family, and as my husband, you harbour feelings for another. You married me despite loving someone else and refused to touch me after the wedding. Your cold violence is even worse than mine! Even worse! After a round of accusations, Shi Minyan still had a cold look on his face, In that case, lets get a divorce! As soon as he said this, Tu Youran was instantly shocked. She set aside accusations and complaints immediately, rushed up to him pleadingly, Minyan! No! I dont want a divorce! I love you, I really love you! I was wrong, its all my fault this time, but I sincerely didnt mean to Ah! She was once again thrown down on the floor. Shi Minyan laughed, somewhat self-deprecatingly. Tu Youran, do you even know that Huanhuan is applying for an undergraduate MBA course at the Sodium Academy in France? Tu Youran widened her eyes, What do you mean? Huanhuan has decided to go to France to study MBA and she has already secured a place. She just has to wait for the visa. Once she gets it, shell leave for France. She wont come back for at least three years. But now because of you, she is lying in the hospital with injuries all over her body and can no longer go! He had just learnt about this matter when he was at the hospital and heard it from Qian Yulin. However, this news felt like a heavy blow to Tu Youran. Her pupils dilated rapidly as she looked on in disbelief. Huanhuan is going abroad for three years? Why didnt she know about it? If she knew, how could she have allowed those people to harm Huanhuan? For three years, she didnt need to bother with Huanhuan! Now that everything has come to light, all her actions are exposed! And she has unknowingly provoked retaliation! She was flooded with regret. Tu Youran picked herself up from the floor and grabbed Shi Minyans arm, beginning to plead, Minyan, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I beg you to forgive me, okay? I really didnt mean to I really didnt mean for them to treat Huanhuan like that. Even if you didnt mean it, the injuries Huanhuan has sustained are because of you! Huanhuan is my niece, my family. I cant possibly have a woman who could harm her staying in the Shi family. Furthermore, his voice became cold as ice. You think that by having Huanhuan violated, I would stop liking her. And you? Do you also believe I will continue to keep a woman as despicable as you as my wife? With a firm yank, Shi Minyan laid down his final ultimatum. Leave, well meet at the civil affairs bureau tomorrow at 9 oclock! No! I disagree! You dont get a say in this. Shi Minyan cruelly looked down at her. If you refuse to divorce, I will send those videos of yours to your friends and family, or post them online for everyone to see! If you dont believe me, why not you try me? I always stand by my words. Having finished speaking, he walked into the bedroom. A wave of intense nausea almost made him vomit. He couldnt stand being in this room for another minute. Quickly grabbing his personal belongings, he packed a suitcase. Shi Minyan dragged the luggage and left without another glance. Minyan! Reaching the door, Tu Youran ran towards him again, pleading with tears in her eyes, I beg you, dont be so cruel to me, okay? Havent we been married for so many years? We also have Luoluo. Do you want Luoluo to end up growing in a single-parent family? Shes only five years old, shes still a child Shi Minyan abruptly pushed her away, Having such a vicious and shameless woman as her mother is the biggest misfortune of her life! Id rather Luoluo didnt have a mother like you! Without paying any attention to Tu Yourans pleas, he picked up his suitcase and left. ** Shi Minyan suddenly returned to the Shi Family that evening with a suitcase, startling the elderly Madam Shi. When asked, Shi Minyan did not hide anything, he simply stated, I am divorcing Youran. Divorce? Madam Shi was surprised, Why? Why the sudden decision to divorce? What happened? Mom, dont ask about this, dont interfere either, anyway, Ive already decided, and Youran has agreed. Madam Shi: Qian Yulin, standing on one side, did not dare to speak. After a while, Madam Shi spoke again, Fine, divorce if you must, but the child should be under your care! Shi Minyan nodded, Thats for certain. Another thing, Madam Shi added, Minyan, does she have someone else now? If so, then you should make sure she leaves with absolutely nothing! Not even a penny! And she must provide child support for Luoluo every month! Qian Yulin frowned as she heard this on the side. Madam Shi is very superstitious and has a severe feudal mentality, especially favouritism. She had two sons and a daughter, but since Qian Yulin married into the family, her younger sister-in-law seldom returned home. According to Madam Shi, A daughter is a losing proposition! Moreover, once married off, whether they live or die, she really didnt care. Moreover, this mother and daughter had very similar temperament, so when the Shi Family had trouble, the younger sister-in-law quickly distanced herself, and over the years, both sides were at peace. At the end of the day, in Madam Shis eyes, apart from face, money, and power, she didnt care about anything else. Happiness of children, family affection As long as it doesnt involve her face and property, she doesnt care. Qian Yulin shook her head silently, got up and said, Its getting late. Ill go and bathe Luoluo. Let her sleep with me tonight. For this period, let me take care of the child. Thank you, sister-in-law. Qian Yulin smiled, Dont tell the child about the divorce yet. Shes only five years old, too young to understand these things. I know. Shi Minyan forced a smile. He didnt want to publicize the shameful things Tu Youran had done. ** That evening. Chu Xiuhuang visited the hospital again. Brother, youre here again? Nangong Ci barely got a word out before Chu Xiuhuangs gaze silenced him. After Chu Xiuhuang changed into his sterile attire and entered the ICU, he sat down on a chair. He just sat there, like a loyal stone statue. Nangong Ci coughed twice, unable to resist speaking again, Brother, I heard you severely beat those scumbags and even Shut up. Nangong Ci: Darn it, he wanted to praise him but wasnt allowed? Forget it. A dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing good intentions! Nangong Ci glanced at the time, You should leave after half an hour. Dont worry, Ive arranged several nurses in shifts to watch over her. As soon as Secretary Shi wakes up, they will notify you immediately. You can leave now. Nangong Ci again: Darn it. Fine. He immediately turned around and left. And Chu Xiuhuang sat there, quietly accompanying the woman on the hospital bed. Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: 661, Sleeping Beauty has awakened! Chapter 661: 661, Sleeping Beauty has awakened! About an hour later, he got up and left the ward. It was already past 10 oclock in the night. Like an arrow released from its bow, the black Maybach sped out of the hospital into the darkness of the night. However, not long after, his phone chimed suddenly. Chu Xiuhuang picked up the phone and saw the caller ID. Impatiently, he answered, What is it now? Brother, Secretary Shi is awake! Hsst! With a swift swerve, the black Maybach made a sharp U-turn in the middle of the road. The abrupt move startled the cars behind into a sudden bout of screeching brakes. And, the ones following them As a result, the entire street was filled with honking horns amidst male and female cursing. But Chu Xiuhuang had already sped away. Nangong Ci was on duty that night. When the night was deep and sleep was creeping, he was suddenly jolted by a call from the nurse saying Shi Huan woke up. He immediately called Chu Xiuhuang to inform him, then rushed to the ward. As he walked, he instructed the nurse, Call all the specialists over. Surgeons, orthopaedists, neurologists Understood. Chu Xiuhuang drove back to the hospital in less than 20 minutes, even rushing on foot. When he entered the ward, it was already packed full of doctors in white coats. Nangong Ci rushed to greet him right away, Brother. Is she awake? I want to see her. Chu Xiuhuang said as he prepared to barge in. Wait a moment, Brother, Secretary Shi fell asleep again. Nangong Ci said carefully. Chu Xiuhuang: Theres no choice, she was injured too severely. However, since she could wake up, it signifies she has passed the critical phase. The doctors have examined her, her condition is stable. She just needs to wake up tomorrow and spend some time recuperating. Chu Xiuhuang nodded, Then Ill stay here tonight. What?! Nangong Ci was taken aback, Youre staying here? Yes, isnt she just sleeping? She should surely wake up by tomorrow morning. Getting from home to here took half an hour, what if he arrives too late tomorrow morning and misses when she wakes up Therefore, Chu Xiuhuang decided not to go back. Nangong Ci explained, Brother, whether she wakes up tomorrow morning or not, its unpredictable. What if Secretary Shi cant wake up tomorrow morning? I suggest you should go home to rest. Chu Xiuhuang shot him a cold glance, Really? Yeah. Then wait for me to buy this hospital, and then pack up and leave. Nangong Ci: I cant afford to offend you, you are the big shot, I cant handle you. Before leaving, Nangong Ci told the head nurse, Allocate a few more people to keep watch here in shifts tonight. If anything happens, call me immediately. Yes, Vice President. ** The night passed uneventfully. Chu Xiuhuang was woken up by the nurse next morning. There was only a chair in the intensive care unit, where he sat upright throughout the night. At first, he kept his eyes fixed on the sickbed, thinking that Shi Huan might wake up at any moment. Later on, he didnt even realize when he fell asleep. After spending the whole night, he didnt feel comfortable, and his face looked a bit off. In his unkempt state, his sexy and handsome looks were even more captivating to the nurse. Young Master Chu, do you need to have breakfast? No need. Chu Xiuhuang got up and immediately went to the bed. Shi Huan was laying there with her eyes closed. Since she woke up once last night and her condition was stable, her oxygen mask has been removed. Except for the gauze wrapped around her forehead, her small face was clearly visible. Being laid up for a week, her face was a little dirty, her skin was very dry, and her lips were chapped. What time is it? Chu Xiuhuang asked. The nurse looked at the time,Its eight in the morning. Eight oclock? Yes. Then why hasnt she woken up? When he rushed back to the hospital last night, it was after eleven oclock. Now its eight oclock, which means that Shi Huan has been sleeping for nearly nine hours. The nurse didnt know what to say, Young Master Chu, dont be anxious. Miss Shi might wake up at any moment. Apart from having the good fortune to escape a gruesome fate, who could accept their girlfriend going through such an ordeal? She couldnt help but feel a twinge of envy, jealousy, and hatred as she looked at the strikingly attractive man before her. Because of her vice presidents relationship, she knew about Chu Xiuhuang. The eldest grandson of the Chu Family, always in the media for his notorious exploits, surprisingly so deeply caring for a woman, guarding her the whole night, what kind of celestial love is this? She heard from the other nurses a few days ago that Shi Huan was gang-raped by five men who tried to kill her as well. But with good luck, she narrowly escaped death. This amounted to being blatantly cuckolded! And now practically everyone in the hospital knew about it, it was utterly embarrassing! Yet, Chu Xiuhuang seemed completely unfazed. In this day and age, such an open-minded man was truly rare. The nurse was endlessly amazed and then, suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise. Chu Xiuhuang was seen standing in front of the sickbed, suddenly lowering his head. The nurse quickly clenched her fists. Morning, the golden sunlight of March gently streamed in from the window, as he bent his tall, upright body, each hand griping opposite sides of the bed. He had a high-bridged nose, sculpted features, and was so handsome that he was nearly perfect, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly closed, his body covered in a faint halo. The scene was akin to a prince waking a sleeping beauty from a fairy talesacred and beautiful. Shi Huans injury was serious and she was unconscious, Chu Xiuhuang had acted on impulse. Once she woke up, it would be difficult to touch her little hand, not to mention touching her. So, he would take the opportunity to touch her now, or else when she woke up, shed probably turn back into a little wildcat He closed his eyes, staying in that position for about half a minute before he stood up and left. But as soon as he straightened up, he noticed Shi Huans eyelashes seemed to be moving. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be still. Her eyes were tightly shut, with dense, long lashes, beautiful and quiet, like a sleeping beauty. Chu Xiuhuang unconsciously furrowed his brows. How much longer was she going to sleep? Just then, his phone rang. Chu Xiuhuang immediately took it out, glanced at the caller ID, then back at Shi Huan, and finally walked out of the ward. The call was from Chu Family. Chu Xiuhuang sounded somewhat impatient, Who is it? You brat, who do you think it is, Im your grandpa! Chu Xiuhuang: Hurry up, tell me honestly! Who gave birth to that child yesterday! And where is she now? Tell me everything! Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Chu, Young Master Chu! The nurses voice suddenly rang out again. Chu Xiuhuang turned around, What happened? Miss Shi has woken up, this time shes truly awake! Young Master Chu Upon hearing these words, Chu Xiuhuangs eyes widened, where could he care about old Master Chu? He dashed into the room. As expected, Shi Huan had finally opened her eyes on the bed. Huanhuan, Little Huanhuan, youre finally awake. Chu Xiuhuang sounded rather cheesy. Hearing this familiar voice, Shi Huan slowly turned her eyes to look at him. Little Huanhuan, can you hear me? How are you feeling? Chu Xiuhuang kept talking, afraid that she would fall asleep again. The nurse said, Ill go call the doctor. Alright, call your deputy dean as well. Oh. When the nurse left, Chu Xiuhuang reached out and caressed Shi Huans soft cheek, Why arent you speaking? Have you become dumb? Nangong Ci had said, didnt she have a third-degree concussion? She hadnt become an idiot, had she? Shi Huan looked at him, opened her lips and moved them a bit. For quite some time. Just when Chu Xiuhuang began to suspect whether she had become stupid or lost her memory, Shi Huan finally spoke. Young Master Chu? Her voice was incredibly hoarse. But Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but laugh, Youre finally awake, you still recognize me, not bad, how do you feel now? Shi Huan looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but then she fell silent again. Whats wrong? Dont you feel well? No sooner had Chu Xiuhuangs words fallen, when a flurry of footsteps sounded from behind. The doctors were here, and they were coming in succession. Sine they had all been on standby in the hospital, hearing that Shi Huan had woken up, they naturally rushed over immediately. Chu Xiuhuang had to step aside to let the doctors examine her. The ward became somewhat chaotic. But he was completely relaxed and even began to plan happily in his heart. Little Huanhuan had finally woken up, because she was injured, she definitely couldnt travel to France anymore, so it was time for the two of them to cultivate their relationship! Make her fall in love with him, and completely cut off the idea of going to France! Right! It was cheerfully decided like that! Chapter 662 - Chapter 662: 662, Luoluo is your biological daughter! Chapter 662: 662, Luoluo is your biological daughter! Nangong Ci arrived in less than half an hour. He has his own house near the hospital and stayed there last night, ready for any emergencies. The doctors were still conducting one test after another. Nangong Ci glanced around and instructed a nearby nurse, Have notifications been sent to everyone else? The nurse replied, Im going to notify them right now. Okay. At that moment, the phone rang again, and Chu Xiuhuang impatiently picked it up and walked outside, Who is it? Its your grandfather! Chu Xiuhuang: This annoying old man! Did he have something that disagreed with him today? The old man started interrogating him over the phone, What on earth are you up to? Why is the signal so bad? Didnt you hear me talking all this time? Hurry up; tell me who the mother of that Luoluo is? Grandpa, what are you talking about? Didnt we already say that she is Huanhuans sister? You mean Shis secretarys sister? Mr. Chu hesitated, But thats not right. You pursued the oldest daughter of the Shi Family, didnt you? And didnt that woman die? Chu Xiuhuang felt like he was struck by lightning, Enough, Grandpa. I understand that you want a great-grandchild, but Luoluo really has nothing to do with me. Also, stop calling me, Im really busy right now, Im working on the biggest thing in my life Luoluo is the biggest thing in your life! Chus old man directly screamed, Do you know that I had her saliva tested for DNA at the hospital, and the blood relationship with you is 99.9%! Do you understand what this 99.9% means? It means Mr. Chu took a deep breath and pronounced each word, Luoluo is your biological daughter! Chu Xiuhuang stayed silent. You little rascal, are you shocked? Hahaha, you know, your grandpa was also almost shocked. But Im really happy, at last we have the offspring for the Chu family. Hurry up, get back here right now, and join me in going to the Shi family to fetch her! She is my blood granddaughter, and I must get her back, I cant wait anymore! After Mr. Chu rambled on for a while, Chu Xiuhuang finally spoke, Grandpa, April Fools Day isnt here yet. Damn it! Mr. Chu couldnt help but curse, Im not that bored! If you dont believe me, Ill have Xiaomao take a photo and send it to you now! You wont cry without seeing the coffin! Chu Xiuhuang put the phone down in a daze. His mind was still blank. What did the old man just say? Luoluo is his biological daughter? And the result of the blood relationship test is 99.9%? How is that possible? He didnt remember anything between him and that Tu Youran Damn it! The moment he thought of Tu Youran, Chu Xiuhuang threw a punch against the wall. Second Brother! Nangong Ci ran over and grabbed his noble fist, Second Brother, what are you doing? Secretary Shi is awake, isnt she? Why are you still hurting yourself? I know you blame yourself for not protecting her, but the damage has already been done. From now on, you just have to behave. Women are very sensitive. If you take care of her, she will be deeply moved and devoted to you. The phone rang again, and Chu Xiuhuang immediately pushed him away. Xiaomao, a servant at home, had sent him a photo through WeChat. Chu Xiuhuang opened the photo and carefully looked at it. When he saw the test result below, he stared blankly, his facial expression frozen. Nangong Ci got anxious again, Second Brother, whats wrong with you? He even waved his hand in front of his face. Still no response. Oh no! Had Second Brother lost his mind? Then Mr. Chus call came again, this time Chu Xiuhuang quickly answered, Grandpa, is this test result reliable? You little rascal! So you dont trust your grandpa huh? Let me tell you, as soon as I saw the little girl at Mrs. Huos house yesterday afternoon, I immediately felt that she was from our Chu family. Shes so pretty and has a widows peak on her forehead. Any child from the Chu family has a widows peak! So, I intentionally gave her a drink and took the cup to the hospital for testing! I called you as soon as I received the results this morning! After finishing, Hurry up, dont waste time. Youre more long-winded than I am. Lets go to the Shi family to fetch her. Grandpa. Chu Xiuhuang frowned. I cant leave right now. You little rascal! You dont want your own daughter? You heartless creature, are you even human? Chu Xiuhuang: Shi Huan just woke up, he really couldnt leave. Little Luoluo is very cute, he also likes her very much, but Chu Xiuhuang always felt that something was weird. He really didnt remember when he and that Tu Youran Could it be that when they were young and reckless, they had a one-night stand after getting drunk? That was the only possibility. Damn it. That woman with such malicious intentions gave birth to his daughter? At this moment, Chu Xiuhuang regretted his reckless youth. In fact, he had been quite disciplined over the years Are you coming home or not! Mr. Chu started yelling again. Grandpa, wait a minute, anyway, the child is still at the Shis house, whats the rush? Shouldnt I be worried? Im almost eighty now, a sudden shock like this could trigger a heart attack and I may drop dead Chu Xiuhuang: If you wont go with me, fine, Ill go myself! Then the phone call ended. Chu Xiuhuang was speechless, on the other side, Nangong Ci chimed in, Second Brother, all the tests have been done. Hmm. Just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to step in, Nangong Ci spoke again, Second Brother, it seems like Secretary Shi has some post-concussion symptoms. What do you mean? After all, its a Grade III concussion, there are some things, it seems like she cant remember very well, while others are very clear. Its alright. As long as she remembers him, Chu Xiuhuang, that would be fine. Nangong Ci coughed twice, What I mean is, since its like this, lets not mention about her victimization anymore. If she finds out she waswhat do you know Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, I understand. Great. Nangong Ci sighed in relief. Looking at Chu Xiuhuangs nonchalant attitude, to tell the truth, Nangong Ci was quite impressed. He had known him for over twenty years, and it was the first time he admired him this much. Incredibly, he wasnt bothered by a womans chastity. Nangong Ci thought, if this happened to him, he might have some psychological barrier. Sigh, he was indeed a layman. After the doctor finished examining and left, Chu Xiuhuang approached the patients bed, meanwhile Nangong Ci asked with a smile, Secretary Shi, how do you feel now? Shi Huan opened her mouth, speaking hoarsely, It hurts a bit. Youve broken two ribs, and have some bruises and superficial wounds on your body. Dont worry, just follow the doctors treatment and rest during this period, and youll recover soon. Shi Huan nodded, and then fell silent. At this moment, Chu Xiuhuang began to speak in a nauseating way, Little Huanhuan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Shi Huan looked at Chu Xiuhuang, her eyebrows furrowed. Whats wrong? Chu Xiuhuangs tone was very gentle. Nangong Ci suddenly said, Secretary Shi, do you know? The person who was most worried about you after you got injured was Second Brother. You woke up once yesterday, didnt you? Second Brother immediately rushed to the hospital. He stood guard here all night, look at him, his clothes are wrinkled, his beard hasnt been shaved, and he hasnt brushed his teeth Chu Xiuhuang: Damn it! He was so upset that he had forgotten that he hadnt slept all night, his beard had grown, and his image was utterly ruined. No wonder Little Huanhuan was acting weird. He immediately said, Ill go wash my face. Shi Huan: Nangong Ci also: ** On the other hand, the old Mr. Chu was super excited. He hung up the phone and immediately summoned the servants, You, and you, and you, come with me. Tell the driver to prepare the car immediately! Four people, plus him! Would the Shi family dare not hand over the child? Even if he had to, he would snatch her back! Just as he was about to leave, Mrs. Chu came downstairs, Dad, where are you going? Whats with this scene? Taking three servants with him, looking as fearsome as if hes going to a fight. Old Mr. Chu took a glance at his daughter-in-law, hesitated for a while, and then said, You might as well come with me. What for? Youre a grandmother now! Ah! Mrs. Chu turned deathly pale. Because there were quite a few people, the driver drove a stretch Rolls Royce directly to the Shi familys place. Mrs. Chu read the identification report all the way. Unlike old Mr. Chu being so excited, Mrs. Chu felt that something was not right. But seeing the old man so happy Let it be. The group took the elevator upstairs and went over to knock on the door. The time was over nine in the morning. Qian Yulin was startled when she opened the door to see them, Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, whats this Mrs. Chu didnt say a word. Old Mr. Chu, however, went straight to the point, Where is my great-granddaughter? Huh? Qian Yulin was directly dumbfounded. Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: 663, Little Luoluo from My Fair Princess! Chapter 663: 663, Little Luoluo from My Fair Princess! Its Luoluo! Where is she! The old Master Chu blurted out and tried to rush inside. Old Madam Shis voice rose, Yulin, who is it? Mom, its Master Chu and Madam Chu. Upon hearing these two names, Old Madam Shi was excited, quickly got up, relying on her crutches and greeted with a smile, Old Master, why are you here? And Madam Chu Old Master Chu had no time for small talk, he kept peering into the house, Where is Luoluo? Where is she? Old Madam Shi frowned, Old Master, what do you want with Luoluo? Qian Yulin said, Luoluo has gone to school. School? Old Master Chu slapped his forehead. Oh dear! How could he have forgotten that today was a Monday? He instantly asked, Which school? Wellington Primary School. Qian Yulin answered without thinking too much. Alright, lets go! Old Master Chu waved his hand, and everyone turned around immediately. Qian Yulin: Old Madam Shi also: Are they just leaving like this? ** By the time they reached Wellington Primary School, it was already close to 10 oclock. After all the back and forth, Madam Chu had it figured out. Grandpa was so excited. He must intend to bring this granddaughter back to the Chu Family. But Dad, who exactly is this childs mother? Old Master Chu said, It should be the aunt of Secretary Shi. Madam Chu furrowed her eyebrows, but isnt that woman already married? I dont care whether shes married or not. All I know is, this child belongs to our Chu family, and I will certainly bring her home! What about Ahuangs opinion? Madam Chu asked again. Regardless of what he says, I will certainly bring Luoluo home! Madam Chu: ** As they were highly regarded in Nancheng, and their second son was the principal of Nancheng University and well known in the education sector, when the Wellington School headmaster heard that Old Master Chu had arrived, he immediately went to welcome him with a group of people. With pomp and ceremony, it was as if they were greeting a leader. When the headmaster approached him, Old Master Chu only said one thing, Bring me the first grader called Shi Luoluo immediately! Madam Chu didnt know where to look. Felt like they were there to steal a child? The headmaster was baffled, but he immediately asked his secretary to arrange it. Not too long after, the secretary brought Little Luoluo to them. Out of concern, her class teacher, Teacher Wang, was also with her. Little Luoluo was wearing her school uniform. This morning Qian Yulin had tied her hair into two long French braids. As she walked, her big and clear eyes were wide open. With a cute and adorable look, it was impossible not to adore her. Old Master Chus hands were trembling with excitement. As soon as Little Luoluo headed toward him, he bent down to pick her up immediately, his eyes filled with tears and he kept saying, My baby! My baby! Grandpa has finally come to pick you up! Are you happy? Are you happy? Little Luoluo sat in Old Master Chus lap, her body tense. She pursed her lips and was too frightened to speak. Isnt this the weird grandpa from yesterday? Seeing Old Master Chus lips pursed, ready to kiss her face Little Luoluo was scared to the point of losing her color, twisted her little head aside, stretched out her little arms, desperately seeking help from her teacher, Teacher Wang, Im scared, Teacher Wang Dont be afraid. Old Master Chu hurriedly started to console her, Luoluo, Im your great-grandpa, okay if I take you home now? Upon saying this, he ordered directly, Quick, open the car door! The manservant promptly went and opened the cars rear door. Old Master Chu carried the child and got in the car in just a few steps. His agility was uncharacteristically quick for an eighty-year-old man, leaving everyone stunned. Little Luoluo was still calling out, Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang To be honest, it sounded heart-wrenching. Teacher Wang was very uneasy, Headmaster, what exactly is going on? Madam Chu could only explain, I apologize, my grandfather-in-law was overly excited. He might have scared the child. The headmaster spoke immediately, Didnt you hear him? Old Master Chu is the great-grandfather of the child. Dont you understand? This child is now a gift returned to the emperor! Have you seen My Fair Princess? The one starred by Zhao Wei! This child is destined to be blessed! Teacher Wang: Once the Rolls-Royce had driven away, Teacher Wang immediately took out her phone and dialed a number, Hello, are you Luoluos mother? This is what happened. An old man surnamed Chu just came to pick up Luoluo. He claims to be Luoluos great-grandfather. Do you know him? ** Civil Affairs Bureau. After listening to Teacher Wangs words over the phone, the cell phone dropped to the ground with a clatter. Tu Youran stood there, her entire face turned pale. Luoluos great-grandfather? Old Master Chu? Does this imply Beside, impatient voice of Shi Minyan rang out, Hurry up, its our turn. Tu Youran finally came back to her senses, picked up her phone, turned around to look at Shi Minyan, suddenly, she rushed over to hug him, repeating in his ear, Minyan, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Can we not divorce? Please, Minyan, I beg you In the Civil Affairs Bureau lobby, at the divorce window, a woman was desperately pleading with a man not to divorce her. This kind of sight was quite common for the staff; some shook their heads, some were sympathetic, and some even started to persuade the couple. Married couples share a hundred days of grace. Yes, why cant they just talk things out instead of seeking a divorce? Think about the child, if its possible, dont get a divorce Shi Minyan impatiently wrenched Tu Yourans hands off of him, Tu Youran! Do you want me to list your disgraceful actions one by one? Minyan, I beg you, I really know I was wrong. Cant you give me one more chance? Tu Youran started crying uncontrollably. But there was no other way. If they divorced, she would be completely ruined. No more marriage, no more husband, and now even Luoluo was to be taken away by the Chu family She cant divorce! Absolutely not! I gave you six years, and you did not cherish it. Theres no room for negotiation this time! If you dont divorce me, I will send the video to all your relatives and friends, even online. I mean what I say! After Shi Minyan finished speaking, he glanced at the time, Hurry up, after the divorce, I have to go to the hospital to see Huanhuan. Huanhuan? Tu Youran shook her head in despair, After the divorce, youre going to see her? Are you this desperate? Dont forget, youre her uncle! Im not forgetting! Shi Minyan lowered his voice, grabbed her wrist, and warned her, Rest assured, I know we are uncle and niece. I know whats right and wrong. Even if I love her, I wont do anything that would damage her reputation! Unlike you, a poisonous heart, not even worth a beast! After speaking, he immediately dragged her towards the divorce window. In the end, they still got divorced. After receiving the divorce certificate, Shi Minyan left without saying a word as soon as they left the Civil Affairs Bureau, leaving Tu Youran standing there alone. She bit her lips, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of extreme panic. After a while, as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number, Mom, something happened. ** Nangong Hospital. Chu Xiuhuang freshened up himself and returned to the ward. As soon as he entered, he saw a young nurse preparing to feed Shi Huan some water. Put down that cup! Chu Xiuhuang shouted. The nurse: Shi Huan: Nangong Ci: Chu Xiuhuang approached him, You can leave now. But Dont worry, I can take care of such minor things. Chu Xiuhuang waved his large hand. How could he miss such an opportunity for intimacy? Nangong Ci coughed twice, Okay, go back to your work. Alright. After the young nurse left, Chu Xiuhuang held the cup and sat down beside the hospital bed, Little Huanhuan, let me feed you. Shi Huan tugged at the corner of her mouth, Thank you, Young Master Chu. The next second. Chu Xiuhuang directly lifted the cup and took a sip. Shi Huan was taken aback. Then, Chu Xiuhuang lowered his head and approached her Shi Huans eyes widened, Young Master Chu, you Nangong Ci was also stunned. Damn, is he crass? Seeing Shi Huans surprise, Chu Xiuhuang had to swallow down the water first, then explained confidently, Its inconvenient for you to lie down, its easier to feed mouth to mouth. Shi Huans ribs were hurt, she had to lie down for now, and couldnt get up. If fed directly, the water would spill out. Look at how considerate he is. Shi Huan made a troubled expression, Young Master Chu, I havent brushed my teeth I dont mind. Nangong Ci couldnt help but speak up from the side, Second brother, our hospital has straws. As soon as his words fell, a chill suddenly swept over. Chu Xiuhuang looked at him coldly, his eyes like icy swords, wishing he could stab him to death on the spot. Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: 664, get married, get married right away! Chapter 664: 664, get married, get married right away! Nangong Ci touched his nose. Damn it, he put his foot in his mouth again! He got to flee now! Well, Brother Chu, I think Secretary Shis condition is now stable. I will go arrange a ward for her. Chu Xiuhuang retracted his gaze, reluctantly put down his cup, Arrange the best ward. Definitely. Upon finishing his words, Nangong Ci turned around and left. As he reached the ground floor, he saw a man walking into the corridor ahead. Shi Minyan nodded at Nangong Ci, Doctor Nangong, I am here to visit Huanhuan. Nangong Ci nodded back, How about Secretary Shis mother and grandmother? Did they not accompany you? Shi Minyans face was somewhat embarrassed, My mom isnt feeling well, so my sister-in-law is taking care of her at home. Oh. Nangong Ci nodded but didnt think much of it and left immediately. When Shi Minyan reached the ward, he saw Chu Xiuhuang sitting there, holding a cup with a straw, feeding Shi Huan water. Chu Xiuhuangs expression was already poor as he missed the opportunity to feed her mouth-to-mouth. Seeing Shi Minyan, the third wheel, arrive, his mood became even worse. Huanhuan, youre awake. Shi Minyan put down a large bouquet of lilies on the table, How are you feeling? Shi Huan pulled a small smile, Much better. Shi Minyan fell silent. He really didnt know how to comfort her. Even he himself couldnt bear to utter that this was all caused by Tu Youran. If it wasnt for him, Tu Youran wouldnt have accumulated such jealousy and hatred over time, and her psychological state wouldnt have warped to such a degree. Although theyre divorced now, he still feels guilty towards Shi Huan. He doesnt even have the face to meet her. But during his visit to the Shi residence, he tried to use persuasion, but his grandmother refused to visit the hospital. Qian Yulin was unable to come as well due to being entangled by the grandmother. If he didnt come, what would Shi Huan think? What would the hospital think? Shi Huan was the one to ask first, Where is Auntie? Chu Xiuhuang instantly narrowed his eyes, while Shi Minyans face was full of shame. Shi Huan continued, That day she sent me an address to pick up Luoluo, but the address was wrong. I would like to confirm if she intentionally sent the wrong address? Did she arrange those people? Huanhuan, Im sorry. Shi Minyan bowed his head, uttering only these words. Shi Huan didnt speak anymore. Just as she suspected. She guessed correctly. All along, even though she didnt feel close to her younger aunt, she always saw Tu Youran as an elegant and gentle woman, who was caring towards her. But who would have thought Dont worry. Ive already divorced her. She will never hurt you again. Shi Minyan reassured her. A look of surprise flashed across Shi Huans eyes. But others marital affairs wasnt her place to inquire. She just felt bad for Luoluo whos going to be from a single-parent family Enough. Chu Xiuhuang began to speak, Huanhuan just woke up, lets not discuss these troubles for now. Okay. Shi Minyan agreed, Huanhuan, you just focus on recuperating. If you need anything, just call me. No need. It was Chu Xiuhuang speaking again, Huanhuan is my woman, you dont need to worry about her. Shi Minyans eyebrows furrowed. Shi Huan then looked at Chu Xiuhuang, her eyes curious. Soon after, Nangong Ci returned with the medical staff, Brother Chu, the ward is ready. We should move Secretary Shi there. Alright. Shi Minyan could only stand aside. When the male nurse was about to lift Shi Huan onto the trolley, Chu Xiuhuang spoke again, Put her down! Ill do it! Everyone: Then they saw the young master of the Chu family, Chu Xiuhuang, walk over and, bending down, he lightly lifted Shi Huan with ease. But then Hiss! The wound was pulled, causing Shi Huan to cry out in pain. By the time Chu Xiuhuang took a hesitant step forward, Shi Huans face turned pale from the pain. Unable to hold back, she reached out and grabbed hold of his clothes, It hurts Master Chu, please be careful. The medical staff kindly reminded. Chu Xiuhuang lowered his head and looked at Shi Huan, Does it hurt a lot? Shi Huan nodded, beads of fine sweat had begun to appear on her forehead. It turned out Chu Xiuhuangs hand was resting on her injured rib. Chu Xiuhuang dared not move until he heard the medical staff remind him again, Master Chu, you can put her here. Oh. He had to walk over and lay Shi Huan down on the trolley. Shi Huan lay there, eyes closed, it took her a while to hold back her tears. He clearly didnt know how to carry a person! Why did he insist on carrying her? It really hurt! When the trolley finally made its way around bends to the VIP ward of the inpatient department, just as Chu Xiuhuang was about to reach out and carry her again, Shi Huan quickly said, Young Master Chu, you should rest. Its enough to let the nurse carry me. Chu Xiuhuang: This really hurts, sweetheart! He watched as the male nurse picked her up and placed her on the hospital bed. Young Master Chu pursed his lips, extremely displeased. Was this male nurse even one percent as good-looking as him? She actually preferred the male nurse to carry her instead of him! Shi Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wouldnt have to endure another torturous experience. After giving some instructions, the doctor and the nurses left. Shi Minyan looked around the ward. It was even more luxurious than the one the elder Madam Shi had stayed in before, it was no different from a suite in a seven-star hotel. Shi Minyan let out a sigh of relief, Huanhuan, Ill head back to the office, you should rest well. Ill bring Luoluo to visit you in the evening. Okay. Once Shi Minyan had left, only Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan remained in the ward. Chu Xiuhuang asked with nauseating sweetness, Little Huanhuan, are you hungry? What would you like for lunch? Just tell me, and Ill ask Aunt Wu to make it and bring it over. Shi Huan looked at him, Chu Sir, youre probably very busy with the company, right? You dont need to accompany me here. No, I must accompany you. Chu Xiuhuang said, suddenly reaching out to hold her soft hand, Little Huanhuan, I realized I cant live without you in my life after you left your job, so He spoke astonishingly, Lets get married. Shi Huan was startled. I mean it, lets get married, right away! The moment youre discharged, lets get married! Chu Xiuhuang added. Shi Huan blinked, Chu Sir, you what Youll be my wife, and Luoluo will be my daughter, we dont need to care about the rest. Chu Sir, what on earth are you talking about? Shi Huan was truly perplexed. Wasnt she the one who was supposed to be injured? How come it seemed like Chu Sir was the one off kilter when she woke up? Before Chu Xiuhuang could say anything else, his phone rang. This time it was a call from Lady Chu. Chu Xiuhuang had to get up, Ill take the call outside. Alright. Shi Huan quickly nodded. Once he was outside, Chu Xiuhuang answered the phone, Mom. Ahuang, what on earth is going on with this child, Luoluo? Mom, if you are asking me, then who should I ask? Lady Chu silence for a while, then asked, Was it that one night from six years ago? What do you mean? Dont you remember? Lady Chu said, Were you with Luoluos mother that night? Perhaps. How could Chu Xiuhuang remember something from so long ago? He was young and frivolous at that time. He didnt take life seriously at that time, he enjoyed going after pretty girls. He even had a crush on Shi Qingge for a while, and pursued her for some time. But, that woman was too self-adorable, and to her, he wasnt attractive enough no matter how handsome he was. After a few unsuccessful flower delivery attempts, Young Master Chu gave up the chase. Alright, I understand. Dont worry, Ill handle it. By the way, grandpa has brought Luoluo home, remember to come home early tonight, the child has been crying for half a day, seems a little unfamiliar with the place. Mom, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said, I should tell you this as well, I am going to marry Huanhuan. You said what? * * At the Chu residence in the courtyard. Lady Chu hung up the phone, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly. Especially when she heard the crying of a child from upstairs, she immediately felt more irritated. She immediately dialed Chu Jingyis number, Jingyi, did you send all of Shi Huans recordings to Ahuang last time? I did. Then why is he still with that woman, he even told me that he wants to get married just now? Chu Jingyi was obviously startled too, Marry? Is my brother crazy? That kind of vain woman, hes treating her like a treasure, isnt he? Sigh. Lady Chu sighed, Your brother is really unreliable. An illegitimate daughter has suddenly appeared out of nowhere! And now he wants to marry Shi Huan! All kinds of mess have cropped up together! Mom, dont worry too much, I have evidence on this matter. If Shi Huan dares to deny it, lets have the two of them confront each other! Alright. After ending the call, Lady Chu headed upstairs. As soon as Old Master Chu saw her, he said, Hurry up and call that brat, tell him to bring Secretary Shi over here immediately! Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: 665, Huanhuan, lets get married Chapter 665: 665, Huanhuan, lets get married As soon as Grandfather Chu saw her, Quickly, call the stinky boy and have him bring Secretary Shi over immediately! Next to him, little Luoluo was bathed in tears, and seemed to be worn out from crying. All sorts of toys and snacks were piled high next to her; they had been bought by Grandfather Chus servant while they were on their way back just now. But the little girl didnt like any of them, and only knew how to cry incessantly. She didnt call for daddy, didnt call for mommy, all she did was call for Huanhuan! Mrs. Chu frowned, Ahuang is in the hospital and said that Shi Huan is hospitalized too. Shi Huan is in the hospital? Grandfather Chu furrowed his brows. Little Luoluo by his side started crying again, Huanhuan, I want Huanhuan Dont cry, dear, Luoluo dont cry. Grandfather Chu quickly soothed her. Huanhuan Huanhuan is in the hospital. I want Huanhuan, wu wu wu Impulsively, Grandfather Chu blurted out, Ill take you to see Huanhuan ok? Upon hearing these words, Little Luoluo suddenly stopped crying, Ok. Madam Chu: What a clever little girl. Grandfather Chu let out a sigh of relief and quickly got up, Then you must listen to your grandfather, stop crying, and stand up on your own. Little Luoluo immediately stood up obediently. Not only did she stop crying, but she also took the initiative to hold his hand. Childrens hands are chubby and soft, enough to melt Grandfather Chus heart. He continued, Wipe your tears as well. Little Luoluo immediately raised her small hand and scrubbed away her tear-stained face. Clever girl. Grandfather Chu was suddenly overcome with joy. It seems that this child really likes Shi Huan. Can I go see Huanhuan now? Little Luoluo asked, choking back sobs. Grandpa will take you there right now! As long as the little girl doesnt cry, even if she wants the moon and the stars, Grandfather Chu will find a way to pluck them from the sky for her! * * Nangong Hospital. In the high-level VIP ward. By the way, Shi Huan suddenly asked, where is the person who saved me? Chu Xiuhuang squinted, Do you want to see him? If you do, Ill ask someone to bring him over. This old man could indeed be considered Shi Huans savior, and he was particularly honest. Chu had wanted to give him money the day before, but the man refused, saying that he only did as duty called. But Chu Xiuhuang already initiated a private inquiry. He has reached out to the saviors children and told company leaders to provide more support at work as a form of indirect compensation. Shi Huan said, Im lucky he was there that day, otherwise Thinking back on that terrifying incident, she was still a bit afraid. There were altogether five men, each remarkably robust, and they were holding clubs. She struggled desperately, almost biting the ear of the man in charge. That man became furious, and struck her with the clubs relentlessly. Fortunately, she managed to delay them and keep crying for help. Eventually, someone from the company next door that was working overtime heard the commotion and came out. The good Samaritan even personally brought her to the hospital, or the consequences could have been severe C she even suspected that she might have been beaten to death Stop talking. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, his expression somewhat complex. For a woman, being violently assaulted and violated by men, especially by five of them Its a disastrous blow! Especially for someone with Shi Huans conservative personality. He didnt want her to relive that horrifying nightmare. Whats wrong? Shi Huan looked at him, feeling confused. Why was Chu looking so strange? Chu Xiuhuang took a deep breath, took her hand again, and said earnestly, Huanhuan, lets get married. Not this again! Shi Huan was helpless, Chu, stop joking. Im not joking! Chu Xiuhuang was even more helpess. Why did this damned woman always think he was joking? Was he that unreliable? Chu, Ive told you before, Ive decided to study in France Study? Dont you know your application has already expired? What do you mean? Youve been unconscious for an entire week, missing the registration period at the school. Your spot has been cancelled. Shi Huan: Well then. After my injuries heal, Ill apply to other schools. The remark made Chu Xiuhuang furious, You damned woman, do you really have to leave me? Am I that insignificant to you? Shi Huan: *Knock, knock, knock!* The door was suddenly knocked on. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but roll his eyes. Why was it that someone always had to harass him C either by phone or by coming over? Was some one-on-one bonding, some serious conversation that difficult? *Knock, knock, knock!* The door was again knocked on and this time, it was directly pushed open. Huanhuan! Hearing this voice, Chu Xiuhuangs handsome face darkened considerably. Turning around, he indeed saw Su Wanwan and Mo Weiyi walking in. Both of them were carrying flowers, gift baskets, and other presents, especially Mo Weiyi, who was dutifully clad in professional attire. It was clear that they had hurried over during their lunch break. Wanwan, Weiyi, youre here. Shi Huan greeted them with a smile from the hospital bed. Huanhuan, how are you feeling now? Are you still in pain? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Chu Xiuhuang sat to one side, listening to the small talk between the three women. After asking about her injuries, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but ask, Huanhuan, I heard from the police that the scumbags who hurt you were beaten up and even had their manhoods severed. Do you know who did it? Shi Huan was surprised, I dont know. You dont know either? I thought you had met some big shot. Some big shot? Shi Huan immediately looked at Chu Xiuhuang. Among the big shots she knew, besides Chu Xiuhuang, who else could it be? Could it really be him? When talking about a revenge tactic as brutal as castration, it seems like theres nobody else but him. Mo Weiyi continued to speak, I was quite worried that you might do something rash, but seeing you now, I feel relieved. Yes, Su Wanwan also advised, Huanhuan, dont dwell on this too much. Let bygones be bygones. Shi Huan looked at them, What do you mean by that? Why did she find it a little difficult to comprehend? Mo Weiyi comfortingly patted her hand, In any case, Huanhuan, try to keep your spirits up. Ok. Shi Huan still felt somewhat confused. She was merely suffering a little physically, so why did they speak with such a tone of finality? Didnt your family come to see you? Mo Weiyi suddenly changed the subject, Thats just ridiculous! When you were in a coma, your relatives didnt care about you; they vanished for days without even reporting to the police! Now that youve finally woken up, they still arent around to take care of you. What kind of shit family is this! Okay, stop talking. Su Wanwan pulled her aside. Of course, she would bring up a sore point. Pouring salt into other peoples wounds. Mo Weiyi pouted. She was just upset because she felt that Shi Huan was pitiful. After going through such a ruthless ordeal, she lay in the hospital for a week with nobody to care for her, without anyone inquiring about her condition C even now, the only person in the sick room with her was Chu Xiuhuang. Could this butterfly boy really look after her? Thinking about it, Mo Weiyi said, Huanhuan, I can get some nursing assistants for you. Actually, you should just call your familys servants over to look after you. Nursing assistants are just doing it for the money. Theyre not reliable. No need. No need! Shi Huan and Chu Xiuhuang said in unison. Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, Whats going on? Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice, From now on, Ill be responsible for her care. Are you up to it? Mo Weiyi blurted out. Chu Xiuhuang responded with a tight smile, Little Princess, hasnt your husband ever taught you? Never ask a man whether he can or cannot. Mo Weiyi: Su Wanwan also: ** Soon, Aunt Wu brought rice porridge over. It was the same method as drinking water C after the porridge cooled down completely, it was fed to her with a straw. After Shi Huan had eaten, Chu Xiuhuang finally gave them the hint to leave, Arent you guys leaving yet? Its almost time for work. Su Wanwan looked at the time and reluctantly got up, Huanhuan, well be going first, and well come over to see you next time. Mo Weiyi said, Huanhuan, remember to say something in the group every day. Okay, Shi Huan nodded, In a few days, Ill have a coworker bring me a new phone. Mm. Finally getting rid of the two tiny elders, Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, Ill have someone get you a new phone. Thank you, young master Chu. Why are you still being so formal with me? Shi Huan could only change the subject, Young master Chu, were those guys brought to justice by you? Chu Xiuhuang did not deny it and nodded, Mm. Shi Huan felt a slight stirring in her heart, Why? Why? Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, Who told them to be so blind as to dare to bully my woman? Anyone who messes with my woman must pay the price! Those scumbags were local hoodlums with a long history of crimes. Chu Xiuhuang felt he was performing a public service by punishing them. Yet Shi Huan said, Young master Chu, you didnt have to go to those lengths for me Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, What do you mean didnt have to? Damn it, I didnt even kill them, Ive gone easy on them! But all I Stop talking! Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her again, Youre not allowed to think about anything now except me. Take good care of yourself, and as soon as your injuries heal, well immediately hold the wedding. He declared with utmost solemnity, Im being honest with you, and Im serious when I speak. So dont think Im joking or else Ill get angry. Although he had originally planned to develop a relationship with Shi Huan carefully, he didnt expect that a biological daughter would suddenly pop up. He had no choice but to take the blame for the sins of the past. I admit, Ive done some ridiculous things in the past, but I can assure you that from now on, I wont touch another woman! I, Chu Xiuhuang, only have one woman, and thats you Shi Huan. Shi Huan looked at him, her fingers slowly clenching, her lips pursed but, she remained silent. His heartfelt confession was met with silence and it made Chu Xiuhuang slightly anxious, he couldnt help but authoritatively add, Youre not allowed to refuse me, refusal is pointless, because Ive already made a decision. Shi Huan: The room fell into silence. With her pretty doe-eye gaze, Shi Huan looked at him motionlessly. Chu Xiuhuang felt like he was undergoing a type of torment he had never experienced before He felt an unaccountable sense of unease and nervousness. One must say, Little Luoluo, this sudden biological daughter, has somewhat disrupted his plans. Having a history of crimes was one thing, now he even had an extra burden to bear! Chu Xiuhuang, what face do you have to ask a maiden to agree to marry you? And even be a stepmother to your child? But You like Luoluo, right? Chu Xiuhuang asked. There was a slight surprise in Shi Huans eyes, but she still nodded, I like her. Then, can you become Luoluos stepmother? Shi Huan was even more surprised, Stepmother? Ahem. Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice, finding it somewhat difficult to speak. Just then, Knock knock knock! The door to the room was knocked on again, followed by the soft voice of a little girl. Huanhuan! Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback. Turning around, sure enough, he saw old Mr. Chu leading Little Luoluo in. Damn! This old fellow! Why didnt he announce that he was bringing the child over? Chu Xiuhuang held his forehead, feeling a throbbing headache. Luoluo, how did you get here? Shi Huan, on the other hand, was delighted. Huanhuan. Little Luoluo came to the bedside, raised both her little hands, tightly clutching Shi Huans arm, and with sobs in her voice started to complain, Im scared, I want to be with you. Dont be afraid, dont be afraid, Im right here. Shi Huan raised her hand to wipe Little Luoluos eyes. Why were her eyes and nose swelling up like this? Have you been crying? Little Luoluo nodded her little head, she was about to cry remembering the horrifying experience she had just endured. Sweetie, dont cry, dont cry. Shi Huan soothingly cooed while simultaneously looking up at old Mr. Chu. Why was the little girl with the old man? Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: 666, Old Master Chu: My grandson is tall, rich and handsome Chapter 666: 666, Old Master Chu: My grandson is tall, rich and handsome Old Mr. Chu looked cheerful. He first showed his concern for Shi Huans health, then walked to Chu Xiuhuang and smacked him on the forehead, You unreliable rascal! Chu Xiuhuang: Hurry up, Ive already brought the kid over. How do you plan to handle this? Chu Xiuhuang said, Grandpa, Ive decided to marry Huanhuan. Marry? Yes, Chu Xiuhuang spoke convincingly, Huanhuan really likes Luoluo, and Luoluo likes her too. Luoluo will be our child in the future. Old Mr. Chu opened his mouth in surprise, completely amazed by his grandsons wild imagination. Grandpa, you must support me. Because there were already two people at home who did not support him. Despite other peoples support or lack of it, he didnt really care. But for Shi Huans sake, it was necessary to find an ally. Old Mr. Chu turned to look at Shi Huan. Truth be told, he hadnt paid much attention to her over the years, only knowing that she was the Shi Familys youngest daughter, who had allegedly been kidnapped as a child and only found in an orphanage when she was fifteen. Maybe thats why she wasnt much loved by the older generation and didnt have much presence in the Shi Family. She began working with Chu Xiuhuang when the Shi Family ran into trouble. She was only nineteen at the time. Over the past few years, she had always been Chu Xiuhuangs secretary. She was very competent at work, reliable with both major and minor matters, even down to arranging blind dates. She always wore big black-framed glasses and black professional attire all year round. Looking rather unattractive, until now when she took off her glasses, she turned out to be quite beautiful Truly the daughter of the Shi Family, even looking a lot like Little Luoluo. Both are real beauties! So did the two of them fall in love from constant exposure to each other? Old Mr. Chu pondered. Anyway, Little Luoluo also really liked Shi Huan. Since this was the case, if she could be Luoluos stepmother, the child would definitely obey her. Also, she was highly competent at work. After marrying Xiuhuang, she would be able to help him with his career and family, and it would also relieve him of his worries. After getting married, with a little effort, they might soon have a healthy little boy. A single move that brings multiple benefits! Old Mr. Chu was calculating in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed. Finally, he slapped his hands together. Excellent! This is final, youll get married immediately. Ms. Shi, from now on youll be Luoluos mother and my granddaughter-in-law! Rest assured, I treat the younger generation very well. The wedding will definitely be grand. You can discuss any requirements with Yonghua, and she will take care of everything. Yonghua, Chu Xiuhuangs mother. The famous stern and aloof Mrs. Chu. Shi Huan had interacted with her few times before, and she was not an easy person to get along with. So, hearing this almost frightened her to death. What was this grandfather-grandson duos style of doing things? Making decisions as swiftly as a passing gust? Had they just decided on the matter of the marriage? Didnt they care for her opinion, the person involved? Shi Huan had a hard time speaking, Old sir, youve misunderstood. Im not going to marry Chu Why? Is my grandson not tall or handsome enough for you? Or not rich enough? You dont like Tall, Rich, and Handsome? Shi Huan was dumbfounded: Rest assured, as long as you agree to marry into our family, youll be the first granddaughter-in-law of the Chu Family. From then on, you can slowly take over the affairs of the Chu Family. Even if you dont have any feelings for Ahuang, it doesnt matter. Let him enjoy his life, just turn a blind eye to his affairs. This time even Chu Xiuhuang was: But before the marriage, theres one thing we need to take care of C that is, Luoluos mother. We can pay her to keep her mouth shut. If not, we might have to use some measures. You understand, right? Chu Xiuhuang again: This old man Did you understand what I just said? Old Mr. Chu stared fiercely. Chu Xiuhuang had a twitch in his brow and could only nod, Yes. So, Old Mr. Chu was overjoyed, Great! Today, I, Chu Dongge, found my long-lost granddaughter, and soon Ill have a granddaughter-in-law. Ah, Im so happy. What a wonderful day today is Grandpa! Are you getting senile? Suddenly a familiar female voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of high heels. Old Mr. Chu looked displeased at the newcomer, What are you doing here? Chu Xiuhuang immediately frowned. I heard that Shi Huan was hospitalized, so I came to visit. Chu Jingyi walked in gracefully. She was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, as if she really came for a visit. As she approached, she put down the flowers and then looked at Shi Huan. Her forehead was wrapped in a bandage, and her face was covered with various bruises and swellings. She laid there looking slim, fragile and pitiful, somewhat resembling a beautifully weak invalid. What happened? How did you get so badly injured? Chu Jingyi was somewhat surprised. She didnt like Shi Huan, initially assuming she was pretending to be sick to win Chu Xiuhuangs sympathy. She didnt expect her to be so seriously injured, looking as though she had been violently beaten. Seen enough? If you have, you can leave. Chu Xiuhuang bluntly told her to leave. Chu Jingyi raised her eyes and gave a light laugh, I have seen the patient, but, I have one more thing I need to confirm. Shi Huan, you did not forget our agreement due to your severe injuries, did you? Shi Huan, I didnt forget. Then why is my brother still marrying you? Shi Huan frowned, I never agreed to the marriage. Heh heh. Chu Jingyi naturally didnt believe her. She looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Ahuang, Shi Huan is nothing more than a shallow, materialistic socialite whos now hurt and wants to take advantage of your sympathy. When will you finally wake up? What does it have to do with you? Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, You dont have a say here, just leave! Youre asking me to leave? Im your sister! Are you leaving or not? You Enough! The elder Chu patriarch intervened impatiently, What are you siblings arguing about? If you must argue, do it somewhere else, not here where you are scaring my great-grandniece. Chu Jingyi grit her teeth and then immediately pulled out her cell phone, pressing the play button. A recorded conversation immediately started playing. Heres 8 million, for you. This was Chu Jingyis voice. What do you mean? This was Shi Huans voice. Then continuing. Stop pretending, you were just clinging to my brother, unwilling to quit your job, and its all for money, right? As long as you agree to quit your job and leave my brother, this money will be all yours. You mean, as long as I quit my job, leave Young Master Chu, this money will all be mine? Yes. Will Miss Chu keep her word? Of course, you can directly cash this check at the bank. If its inconvenient for you, you can change it to a transfer. Okay. Thank you, I was planning to quit my job recently. Rest assured, I will leave Huangyou and I will never see Young Master Chu again. Any other questions? I hope you will keep your word. Okay, Miss Chu, I will go back to finish my job transfer first. The audio finished playing. The room once again fell silent. Chu Jingyi hooked up her red lips and smiled triumphantly, Grandfather, Ahuang, youve heard it now, right? The audio cant be fake! Shi Huan, what do you have to say now? Shi Huan asked, Miss Chu, why dont you play the rest of the conversation? Is it necessary? You accepting my 8 million is true, and your agreement to leave my brother for 8 million is also true. Chu Jingyis smile deepened, she looked at Chu Xiuhuang again, Ahuang, do you still plan on marrying this kind of woman? Today, she can leave you for 8 million, tomorrow, she might jump into bed with another man for that same 8 million! She could cuckold you! I advise you, do not continue to be a fool. Is that the purpose of your visit today? asked Chu Xiuhuang. He had the same expression, and even his voice was calm, without the anger or disappointment she expected. Chu Jingyi couldnt help but frown, Ahuang? You You can leave now! Chu Jingyis pupils suddenly constricted, You She likes money? Isnt that just right? Because I have plenty of money! You give her 8 million to leave me, right? Then I will betroth her with 80 million! Are we talking about throwing money? Who has more money? You want to compare with me? Try it! Shi Huan: Chu Jingyi: The elder Chu patriarch also: Everyone in the room was so stunned that they couldnt speak. Eventually, Chu Jingyi stormed out of the ward, her face filled with humiliation. Not long after, the lady of the Chu family received a call from her daughter. Mom, my brother is crazy! Hes really crazy! He said hes going to betroth Shi Huan with 80 million! What do you mean? The delicate brush in her hand suddenly sank. Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: 667, retracting head turtle Chapter 667: 667, retracting head turtle Ive been to the hospital, and I played the conversation Huanhuan and I had that day. Grandpa was there, and they all heard it, but Ahuang is determined to marry this woman! Mom, I cant deal with this anymore, just let him do as he pleases! Let him marry her! Let him regret it later! After saying so, Jingyi angrily hung up the phone. Madame Chu held the phone, stunned for a long time. Looking down, the parchment on which she had copied half of the Heart Sutra was now in a total mess. ** In the ward, right after Jingyi left, Huanhuan immediately asked her question, Grandpa, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you saying Luoluo is your great-granddaughter? Didnt that stinker tell you? Grandpa Chu finished, then hit Ahuangs arm, Coward, you didnt even dare to acknowledge your own daughter. Ahuang: Huanhuan was incredulous, Grandpa, are you sure you didnt make a mistake? How could this be possible? Isnt Luoluo the child of Minyan and Youran? How could I make a mistake! Secretary Shioh, no, Huanhuan, Ill call you Huanhuan from now on. Grandpa Chu decided to change his form of address, Huanhuan, Ive already taken Luoluo for a DNA test. The possibility of her being Ahuangs relative is 99.9%! The hospital absolutely wouldnt make a mistake about this! Luoluo is indeed Ahuangs biological daughter, and hence our Chu familys great-granddaughter! Huanhuan looked at Ahuang, her face showing total shock. What the heck? Luoluo has been back in Nancheng for more than half a year now. Throughout this time, she didnt notice any resemblance between Luoluo and him. Theyre actually father and daughter? This is simply too mystical. What about uncle? Hes been cuckolded out of the blue? Young Master Chu actually had an affair with Youran six years ago? Six years ago Six years ago Huanhuan suddenly felt like she caught a fleeting glimpse of something, followed by a severe pain in her head. Hiss! She clutched her head, her face turning pale immediately due to the pain. Huanhuan! Whats wrong? Little Luoluo asked anxiously. Ahuang also stepped forward, Whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a headache? He immediately pressed the call button nearby. Look at you, its all your fault! You upset Huanhuan, didnt you? Grandpa Chu kept nagging, Huanhuan, dont you worry, if this wretched boy dares to wrong you after you two get married, Ill punish him immediately! Ill make him regret it! Grandpa, could you please stop talking? Ahuang was about to be driven mad, couldnt he see that Huanhuans face had turned pale from the pain? Bastard, are you blaming me now? If you could control yourself, would we be in this mess now? Would you please stop talking? I will not stop talking! Luckily, the doctor came quickly. After a thorough examination, Dr. Zhu said seriously, Weve conducted a CT scan which shows that Ms. Shi has suffered a severe head injury before, diagnosed as grade three concussion. Theres still some blood clotting at the back of her brain that hasnt cleared, which is pressing on her nerves and causing periodic dizziness, headaches, nausea, tinnitus, and even selective memory loss. I advise her to have bed rest during this period, avoid stimulating her brain, and keep the ward quiet. He looked at Luoluo, Especially, the child shouldnt make a lot of noise to avoid disturbing the patients rest. Little Luoluo: Ahuang coughed a couple of times, Got it. After instructing some precautions, Dr. Zhu left. Grandpa Chu looked at Huanhuan and shouted sternly, You bad boy, come out with me! ** Once outside. Ive decided to hold a family reunion banquet on April 8th to officially welcome Luoluo back into our family! As for her mothers side, how do you plan to handle it? That shameless woman could just take a hike! Ahuang replied impatiently. Grandpa Chu shot him a glare, Even if she has no dignity, can you be any better? You let your own flesh and blood wander outside for five years. My great-granddaughter has suffered and struggled for so many years, even calling others mom and dad you, this damned boy, youre such a fool! I have no idea when I ever had a fling with her! No, youre just too unreliable. Ill handle this. The old master of the Chu family furrowed his brows, Lets go to the Shi family right now and get everything straightened out. Im not going. Why? I want to stay with Huanhuan. You reckless boy! The old master of Chu family raised his hand and slapped him again, Youre fine letting an old man like me run around while you do nothing? How can you live with that? Today, he had been running back and forth between the hospital, home, the Shi family, school five or six times already! He hadnt been this busy in a long time, not even in the past month combined! And he hadnt even had lunch yet! Chu Xiuhuang laughed, Its healthy for an old man to get some exercise. You brat! The old master of Chu family almost kicked him out in annoyance, Xiaomao and her people will take care of it here, there wont be any problems. You must accompany me to the Shi family. We need to clarify everything today! Didnt you hear what the doctor said? Huanhuan needs to rest, so what use are you here! Chu Xiuhuang was helpless. After thinking for a moment, he agreed, Alright. When they returned to the patients room, the old master of Chu family approached the bed, crouched down, and asked with a smile, Luoluo, your great-grandfather needs to handle some matters. Will you keep Huanhuan company here? Dont wander off. Ill come back for you soon. Little Luoluo puckered her lips, I just want to be with Huanhuan. The old master of Chu family looked at Shi Huan, Huanhuan, can you watch Luoluo for me? The brat and I have some matters to handle, but well come right back. Okay. After arranging these things, the old master and his grandson hurriedly left. ** At that time, in the Shi family residence. Why is my life so bitter? Wiping her tears with a tissue, Mrs. Tu lamented, We finally get our daughter and son-in-law to come back, but they unexpectedly divorce! And they dont even tell me about it! My poor Luoluo, now shes in a single-parent family! Co-mother, you must explain this to me today The old lady of the Shi family frowned, How would I know about their divorce? Whats the point of asking me? Then what do we do now that we cant find my daughter! Mrs. Tu continued crying and making a fuss. The old lady of the Shi family was at a loss. Qian Yulian, on the other hand, was also helpless. About 10 minutes ago, just after lunch, Mrs. Tu suddenly came crying, saying Tu Youran had sent her a message about the divorce and that she was heading back to Canada to clear her mind. Now they cant reach her by phone or contact her in any way, fearing she might do something foolish. They urged the Shi family to explain! Qian Yulin had already called Shi Minyan. In the meantime, Mrs. Tu kept fussing, until she heard the door being knocked, and she sighed with relief, Minyan is back. Mrs. Tu also looked up expectantly. But when they saw who it was, everyone was stunned. A slim elderly man stood at the door. He was dressed in a black robe, wearing a small felt hat from the Republican era, and held two walnuts in his hand. His beard was white, but his gaze sharp. As he twirled the walnuts in his hand, he stepped in. Following him was none other than Chu Xiuhuang. Mrs. Tu didnt recognize them, but when she heard Qian Yulin say, Old Master, Master Chu, what brings you here, She was taken aback and instinctively stood up. Her hands trembled nervously, especially when the old masters eyes shifted toward her Her heart trembled. In no exaggeration, her entire face was a picture of panic. Who might this be? asked the old master. The old lady of the Shi family hurriedly introduced, This is Yourans mother. Yourans mother? Chu Xiuhuangs eyes instantly narrowed. The old master had things figured out in his mind, nodded, and got straight to the point, Thats good timing. I want to ask you, where is your daughter now? Mrs. Tu tried to calm herself down, My daughter is missing. Missing? The old master furrowed his brows, What do you mean by that? Mrs. Tu immediately started accusing, Its all because of that brat Shi Minyan. He wants to divorce my daughter, and shes devastated. She left me a message half an hour ago saying she was going back to Canada to clear her mind. Now I cant reach her on her phone and cant find her anywhere! If something happens to her, I dont want to live either! Going back to Canada? Chu Xiuhuang sneered, Is she really going back to Canada? Or is she just too embarrassed to show her face and hiding somewhere? There was a flash of panic in Mrs. Tus eyes, What do you mean by that? Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: 668, youre not getting any younger, I advise you not to mess around. Chapter 668: 668, youre not getting any younger, I advise you not to mess around. What do I mean, you should ask your dear daughter. Mother Tus face crumpled in an instant, I dont know what youre talking about! Chu Xiuhuang remained silent. Narrowing his phoenix-shaped eyes, he scrutinized the old lady in front of him with a critical gaze. Wearing makeup, carrying a designer handbag, even wearing high heels? She is an old lady, flaunting around so conspicuously, tsk tsk tsk. Her glance is dodging when looking at someone, her voice trembling when talking, clear signs of hidden motives! The saying goes, when the beam is awry, the crossbeam will be crooked! Having Tu Youran, a daughter with a heart as venomous as a scorpions, this mother, she surely cant be a good person! How did he end up being fooled by Tu Youran? Chu Xiuhuang was deeply disgusted! Extremely disgusted! Mother Tu was feeling guilty and broke down into tears, No matter what, Im going to get a clear answer from Minyan today! I wont leave until I get an explanation! You cant take advantage of us, a widow and her daughter, just because there are no men in the Tu family! Madame Shi couldnt help but speak up, In the case of divorce, it takes two to tango. Why dont you ask your daughter if she was the first one to cheat! She cuckolded my son! Youre talking nonsense! Mother Tu pointed her finger straight at Madame Shi, My daughter is such a pure and virtuous girl! Who was the one running around begging others to get that brat Shi Minyan out of jail? Who was the one who braved all difficulties to go to Canada with him to do business? Who is responsible for his good days now? In the end, Shi Minyan is nothing more than a gigolo, now that hes made his money, hes thinking of divorcing my daughter? And asking her to leave with empty hands? Has his conscience been eaten by a dog? Hmm, now I see whats going on. It turns out you came here today to help your daughter claim her property? All these years my daughter has suffered with your son, you cant just kick her out now! Then well see you in court See you there! Its a good chance for everyone in the country to see the kind of heart-breaker youve raised! You Enough! The elder Mr. Chu couldnt stand it any longer, slamming a walnut on the coffee table. The walnut hit the glass coffee table with a bang. The entire living room was instantly silenced. Mr. Chu raised his hand again, looking at the two old ladies as he fiddled with the walnut in his hand. Whats this fuss about? Is this a marketplace? Elder Mr. Chu wished it wasnt a walnut he was fiddling with, but these two old ladies! Unbelievable! The racket was giving him a headache! He came here today for serious business! Elder Mr. Chu said sternly, Since your daughter isnt here, lets leave it at that. Hearing this, Mother Tu was overjoyed. The next second. Come with us to the hospital! Mother Tu was stunned, What for? Both Madame Shi and Qian Yulin looked puzzled. Elder Mr. Chu said, I have already conducted a paternity test at the hospital, Luoluo is my grandsons biological daughter! This statement sent shockwaves through the room. Madame Shi opened her eyes wide, Elder Chu, what what did you say, Luoluo is your Chus clan child? Impossible! This is impossible! Watch your words! Indeed, Luoluo is Minyan and Yourans child, shes already five now, how could. Why would I lie to you? Can a hospitals test be faked? Do you think I came looking for you because I was bored and wanted to reminisce? After speaking, Elder Mr. Chu turned to Mother Tu, Originally, we were looking for Luoluos mother, since shes not here, you can come with us to the hospital for a DNA test. As long as the results confirm that you and Luoluo are genetically related, this matter will be settled! I wont go! Mother Tu blurted out. What are you afraid of? Chu Xiuhuang asked, hooking his thin lips. Somehow, from the moment he saw Mother Tu, he had felt that this old woman was lying. I dont know what youre talking about? Heh. Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, Rest assured, if the test results confirm that Tu Youran is Luoluos biological mother, I, Chu Xiuhuang, wont shortchange the Tu family. I will give you one hundred million! One hundred million?! All the women in the room were stunned by this number, even Elder Mr. Chu was somewhat.. This unfilial grandson! Eighty million one moment! One hundred million the next! Does he think money grows on trees? How about it? Are you tempted? Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile. Elder Mr. Chu glared at him unhappily. No! I wont go! You dont have a say in this! Chu Xiuhuang reached out and grabbed Mother Tus arm, Are you sure you dont want this one hundred million, Mrs. Tu? His grip was hard, causing Mother Tu to cry out in pain, Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, help me, it hurts, let go of me! Let go of me! Lady Shi stood there, motionless. She wanted her help? Ha! Impossible! Who was the one repulsing her son just now? Accusing him of sponging off others, being a male gigolo, betraying like Chen Shimei Disgusting! It was undoubtedly this Tu Youran who shamelessly began an affair with Chu Xiuhuang behind their back six years ago! She made her son wear a green hat, a symbol of cuckold, for six years! Moreover, she had her son raise Chu Xiuhuangs white-eyed wolf for six years! Absolutely shameless! Mother-in-law! You have to stand up for me! Tus mother was full of regret at this moment. She had reconciled with her daughter, fearful of their past actions being exposed, hence advising her to hide for a while. Unexpectedly, the Chu family disregarded the agreement and insists on running a DNA test on her. What if it gets revealed Tus mother was gripped with fear. She screamed and struggled, but it didnt help. Chu Xiuhuang had a strong hold and acted ruthlessly, dragging her out of the room and into the elevator. When they descended to the first floor, the elevator door opened and Tus mother began shouting, Help, someone help me Ah! The searing pain in her arm curled her into a ball. As the pain intensified, she could not utter a sound. Cold sweat poured down her forehead and back. Her face alternated between ashen and bluish-green. Chu Xiuhuangs cold and cruel voice followed, For a woman of your age, I advise you not to struggle anymore. Youll only have yourself to blame if your arm gets dislocated! Tus mother looked at him, horrified, and was rendered speechless. As for the Shi family: After the door closed, Madam Shi fiercely grabbed her daughter-in-laws hand, No wonder Minyan wanted a divorce. It turns out that this woman, Tu Youran, had bore another mans bastard child and has been lying to us for so many years! This shameless woman must have planned to abandon Minyan and wed into the Chu family to become a mistress! It infuriates me, I might just die from anger! Qian Yulin: ** Nangong Hospital. On the way, Chu Xiuhuang had already called Nangong Ci to arrange for a reliable internal medicine doctor to conduct the DNA test. Upon arrival at the hospital, Tus mother was immediately taken for a blood test. Since the test results would take at least three hours to be ready, Chu Xiuhuang let Tus mother go after the blood was drawn. Nangong Ci couldnt help but ask, Second brother, who exactly is this old lady? Could it be Your birth mother? Otherwise, why bring her here for a DNA test? Of course, he didnt dare voice these thoughts aloud, despite his curiosity. Chu Xiuhuang chuckled, Send out a notice in the WJY group. What kind of notice? Everyone is to gather at Guidi tonight at 7:00. Feel free to bring families as I have an important announcement. After Nangong Ci left with a puzzled look on his face, Old Master Chu rushed over with a bag in his hands, Hurry, I bought a few goldfish. Little Luoluo might like them. Chu Xiuhuang looked at him in disdain, Havent you eaten all day? Why dont you go home and have a meal first? Insisting on being a third wheel in the hospital? Eating is less important than my great-granddaughter! Chu Xiuhuang: * * * In the upstairs ward. Not long after Old Master Chu and Chu Xiuhuang had left, packed lunch arrived, courtesy of the Chu familys servants. There was easily digestible porridge for Shi Huan and a kids meal for Little Luoluo. After the meal, assistant Xiaoliu came to the hospital to drop off a cell phone. Miss Shi, I had no idea that you were badly injured. We thought you went to France when you didnt answer your phone for those couple of days. Im sorry. How are you feeling now? Does it still hurt? Im not in pain anymore. Im much better, Shi Huan reassured her. Xiaoliu sighed, Miss Shi, you have no idea. The office has been chaotic since youve been gone. Besides, Chu junior is particularly hard to serve. Everyone in the secretarys office has been reduced to tears by him. Shi Huan: Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: 669, studying abroad in France Chapter 669: 669, studying abroad in France Sis Shi, its better if you wont go to study in France, take care of your injuries and when youre healed, come back to guide us in the company! Its really unmanageable without you. Upon hearing these words, Shi Huan hesitated for the first time. She was initially planning on resigning to study in France, but now shes injured, and with Shi Minyan and Tu Youran getting a divorce, its distressing to think Little Luoluo had suddenly become Chu Xiuhuangs daughter. Shes only five, how is she supposed to understand all these complexities? It was evident earlier that the girl was having a hard time adapting to the change, and the Chu family was of high society, she worried that Luoluo might be mistreated. She could only say, Ill decide once I recover. Okay, then, Ill go back to work first, the company is extremely busy lately. Ill bring colleagues over to see you another day. Sure. Xiaoliu quickly left, and Shi Huan picked up her phone. Upon starting the phone, she found that the SIM card was already installed and the phone was charged. She logged into WeChat and first greeted everyone in the besties group chat, then replied to some colleagues and other business associates. During this time, little Luoluo obediently sat on the sofa watching cartoons. At around five in the afternoon, the old man Chu and Chu Xiuhuang finally came back. Old man Chu was holding a bag of goldfish in his hand, Luoluo, look at what grandpa bought for you? Little Luoluo widened her eyes and asked in a childlike voice, Is it a goldfish? Yes, do you like it? The old man Chu winked at his grandson proudly. He had seen the goldfish being sold at the hospital gate earlier and thought that children would like them. Sure enough, the young girl was interested. Lets find something to hold them. He called for a servant, Xiaomao, quickly come in and help me find a bowl. Coming, old master. Xiaomao quickly found a small bowl, put the goldfish in it and then placed it on the coffee table. Little Luoluo peered over the coffee table at the fish swimming back and forth in the bowl, entranced. Old man Chu sat down beside her, Luoluo, tell grandpa which goldfish is your favorite? Little Luoluo pointed at a fancy-looking one with her little hand, I like this one. Then, would you like to name it? Luoluo tilted her head in thought, looking adorable, Can I call it Flower? Absolutely! Thats a good name! Chu Xiuhuang: Shi Huan: The old and the young were having a lively conversation. Chu Xiuhuang also walked over, Grandfather, its getting late. Why dont you go back and have some dinner first? What are you up to? Old man Chu immediately looked at him suspiciously. What could I be up to? Im just concerned about you. Youre not young anymore and have been running around so much today. Dont go collapsing from fatigue! The old man was actually in great health, but staying in the hospital room like a third wheel was not ideal. Old man Chu naturally understood his grandsons mind, Fine. He stood up, Ill take Luoluo back with me. It depends on whether she is willing to go with you. Old man Chu: This brat! Little Luoluo certainly wasnt willing. After all, they had just met that day. It takes time to know and get along with each other. Grandfather, you go ahead. Luoluo is still adjusting, let me take care of her during this time. If you want to see her, you can come to the hospital in the evening. Old man Chu was reluctant. But it seemed like there was no other way. Alright then. Ill get someone to clean up the room when I get back and maybe buy some new things for her. Yes, get the most expensive ones. Do you need to tell me that? Old man Chu mumbled under his breath, By the way, when the results of the paternity test are out, call me immediately. Got it. Only then did old man Chu leave satisfied. But before leaving, he turned back for one more look. But little Luoluo was still glued to the goldfish, ignoring him. As soon as the old man left, Chu Xiuhuang swiftly approached the bedside and smarmily asked, How are you feeling, little Huanhuan? Does your head still hurt? Shi Huan instead asked, What were you guys up to just now? Nothing much, just handling some personal business. Shi Huan: Tonight, Im going to take Luoluo out for dinner, and after dinner, Ill come back to be with you. No need. Shi Huan declined immediately, Luoluo needs to sleep early, you dont need to come over, the nurses here will do. That wont do. You are my fiance now, and the mother of my child Shi Huan had a blank expression. What the hell! You just focus on healing. Once youre discharged, well get married, and our family of three can live a good life together. Shi Huan looked at him, a little hesitant, Chu Xiuhuang, are you really going to marry me? Yes. Shi Huan frowned slightly. What are you going to say now? Shi Huan bit her lip, took a long time before finally saying, Isnt this inappropriate? Whats inappropriate now? Youre Luoluos dad, and Im Luoluos sister. This This is chaotic! What would people think if this got out? The Chu family is both renowned and a family of scholars, they treasure their reputation and care deeply about how they are perceived by others. If Chu Xiuhuang really married her, they would probably become the laughing stock of Nancheng. But Chu Xiuhuang asked, Whats wrong with chaos? You and I dont share any blood relationship. Shi Huan: Dont get stuck in your foolish thoughts. Ive told you, you dont need to worry about anything. Just focus on your recovery, leave everything else to me. Didnt the doctor tell you not to stress your brain, because of the edema there? Have you forgotten? Alright then. Shi Huan could only agree. After all, her injuries were severe, and there was still at least a month or two until she would fully recover and get discharged from the hospital. Anything could happen within that time. Luoluo. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly called out. On the sofa, Little Luoluo raised her small head. Call me Daddy. After hearing these two words, Little Luoluo immediately contorted her delicate little face. Sometimes she would call him uncle, other times brother-in-law, or brother Now, hes asking her to call him dad! From now on, always call me Daddy. Got it? Chu Xiuhuang got up and walked towards Little Luoluo, picked her up and asked, Do you want to go with Daddy for dinner? Little Luoluo remained silent, her facial features conflicted, looking a bit stunned. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt resist and pinched her round little cheek, Be a good girl, call me daddy once. Let me hear it. The skin of the child was so nice, white and delicate, smooth and shiny, just like a freshly steamed bun. Thinking about the dinner tonight with his buddies, how nice would it be to hear this little girl crisply calling him Daddy. Tsk tsk, surely it would scare a bunch of single dogs to death! Especially the old guy, big brother! Chu Xiuhuang had a mischievous smile on his face. He couldnt resist pinching Little Luoluos soft cheek again, Hurry, call me daddy. After that, Ill buy you candy! Shi Huan shivered a little. As for Little Luoluo, she blinked her big eyes and suddenly stretched out her small hand towards the direction of the sickbed, even her small body began to squirm forcefully, Huanhuan, Im scared, Huanhuan, Huanhuan Chu Xiuhuang looked grim. Shi Huan also left speechless. Huanhuan! Huanhuan! Such a soft voice from the little girl could melt anyones heart. Having no choice, Shi Huan had to say, Mr. Chu, take it slow when it comes to calling you daddy. Theres no need to rush. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, and nodded thoughtfully, Okay, Ill take it slow. ** 7 p.m. at Levis mansion. Su Wanwan, following Huo Jingshen, entered the VIP room. They were already ten minutes late for the agreed time. With the exception of the host of the meeting, everyone else was already there. Oh, sister-in-law is here too? Nangong Ci immediately stood up to greet them. Where is Xiuhuang? Huo Jingshen asked. He hasnt arrived yet, but I think hell be here soon. Nangong Ci handed over the tablet. Sister-in-law, shall we start ordering? Alright. Su Wanwan sat down, and Huo Jingshen quickly took the seat next to her, putting one arm over the back of her sofa. Compared to the room full of single men, the two of them seemed to be flaunting their relationship. They ordered the meal, and it was served quickly. Su Wanwan even started eating, but Chu Xiuhuang still hadnt arrived. Huo Jingshen checked the time, We should hurry him up. If he doesnt show up soon, well leave. Gu Huaian also said, Exactly, its nearly eight oclock. Can we go now? Ming Jing asked, Is Second Brother really going to ditch us? Lu Chenyu just kept his head down, playing cards. Hehe. Its not possible. He told me to make sure you guys come tonight, and said it was a must-meet meeting! Nangong Ci picked up his phone, Ill call Second Brother to check. Next second. Oh crap! Looking at the message in the WeChat group, Second Brother said hes not coming. At the same time, everyone else also picked up their phones. The sound of WeChat message alerts echoed through the VIP room. Chu Xiuhuang had posted several messages in the WJY WeChat group: [Something came up, the gathering tonight is cancelled.] [You guys can gather on your own, Ill notify you the next time.] [By the way, remember to pay the bill after consuming, I wont reimburse tonight.] [Never reimbursing in the future, either.] Chapter 670 - Chapter 670: 670, the truth of that year [Must Click] Chapter 670: 670, the truth of that year [Must Click] Everyone: What the hell! He invited everyone over only to stand them up, and he expects them to pay the bill? And he says hell never reimburse them? What kind of divine move is this? Meanwhile, at the Chu family, Chu Xiuhuangs grandfather also received the notification from his grandson. After hanging up the phone, he immediately got up, waved his hand and ordered, Get the car ready! Dad, where are you going? The wife of the Chu family just descended from the second floor, and she couldnt help asking. However, the old master Chu did not answer her. He picked up a walnut and left without saying a word. The Madame Chus brows furrowed. She was already shaken by the news of her sons impending marriage in the morning, had laid down all afternoon with a splitting headache and now seeing her father-in-laws hurried departure, her headache only got worse. * * Chu Xiuhuangs grandfather was on his way to Chu Xiuhuangs private villa. By the time he got there, it was already past eight in the evening. There were black-suited bodyguards at the front door. Seeing him, they immediately nodded and greeted him respectfully, Old Master. Upon entering the living room, Little Luoluo was seated on the sofa. Chu Xiuhuang sat beside her and was entertaining the young girl with a pure white plush fat cat in his lap. Luoluo. Hearing the voice, Little Luoluo looked up. Seeing this strange grandfather, she was somewhat scared and quickly moved closer to Chu Xiuhuang. Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat and called out, Aunt Wu, take Luoluo for a bath and put her to bed. Okay, sir. When the young girl was taken upstairs by the maid, Chu Xiuhuangs grandfather immediately asked, Wheres the person? Chu Xiuhuang looked at the time, She should be here soon. Chus grandfather surveyed the living room, Is the soundproofing here good? Since they had to interrogate secretly, what if the noise would scare his great-granddaughter? Chu Xiuhuang grimaced at his grandfather, Go next door. This was supposed to be his bridal chamber, where he would live with Little Huanhuan and Little Luoluo. How could it be stained with the smell of blood? Oh. * * It was about ten minutes later when Chu Xiuhuangs mobile phone finally rang. Looking at his phone, he turned to his grandfather, Grandfather, are you sure you want to go with me? He was worried that the scene could scare his old man. Go! Of course, I have to go! Okay. The two left the villa, circled around the yard, and arrived next door. The bodyguard guarding the doorway immediately opened the door. Upon entering the living room and waiting less than a minute, the door was knocked once again. Following that, Tu Yourans mother was roughly tossed into the room. Her careless entrance caused her to stumble, and she fell to the ground. A pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in front of her eyes, gleaming under the light. It was a bit dazzling. Looking up, she saw Chu Xiuhuang, regarding her from a high position, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, his eyes cold and contemptuous. Tu Yourans mother was immediately terrified. She widened her eyes while crying for help, Help, help, someone, help Stop yelling. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her coldly, The soundproofing here is very good. Not even screaming your lungs out will bring anyone. Tu Yourans mothers face turned pale, Mr Chu, what are you planning to do? Im the kind of person who doesnt like to beat around the bush. I brought you here because the hospitals identification results have come out. From a medical perspective, you and Luoluo have no blood relation at all. Do you know what this means? Mother Tu was scared and anxious, Master Chu, I I really dont know. Youran is currently abroad, its useless to catch me. Ive already checked Tu Yourans exit records. She hasnt left the country. Shes still in Nancheng. Ah Mother Tu was shocked into silence. So, still not ready to tell the truth? Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and spoke very slowly and calmly, Where does Luoluo really come from? Who is her real mother? What exactly happened six years ago? I really dont know. Mother Tu started crying, Master Chu, why would I lie to you? I genuinely dont know, even if you ask a million times I still wont know. After saying that, she looked at Old Master Chu, Old Master, you believe me, Im an honest old lady. If you really want to know, wait until Youran returns to the country. Once she comes back, wont everything be clear? Old Master Chus brow was tightly furrowed. Before he could say anything, Chu Xiuhuangs voice rang out again. Old lady, you may not know, I, Chu Xiuhuang, have never liked to play by the rules. I dont know how to show mercy when dealing with people. Old or young, theyre no different than men to me. Mother Tu turned pale. She had already experienced this in the afternoon. Her arm was still sore now. But thinking about her daughter, Mother Tu gritted her teeth, Master Chu, I really dont know anything, even if you kill me, I still wont know! Upon leaving the mansion, Old Master Chu was anxious, You brat, you brought her here and didnt get any information. Whats the use? Grandfather, why the rush? Chu Xiuhuang smirked, looking unfazed. Ive brought her here, shell definitely tell the truth. How so? She was just about to choose death rather than talk! Old Master Chu, with a walnut in hand, pondered for a moment then advised, Its best not to kill anyone. Even if we cant find the childs biological mother, its okay as long as the child is coming back to us. You have a child now, and soon youll have a wife. Stop being so naughty and accumulate some good karma for your wife and child. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but sneer, Grandfather, do you know why the old lady wants to die? Do you know why? Why? Old Master Chu eagerly asked. Chu Xiuhuang said, Shes trying to protect her daughter. Old Master Chu frowned, So what? So, if Ive got her tied up, she cant contact Tu Youran anymore. Old Master Chu thought about it for a moment and lit up with understanding. He couldnt help but slap Chu Xiuhuang on the arm, You little scoundrel! Who did you learn this from? Youre so cunning! Chu Xiuhuang: * * In fact, Chu Xiuhuangs method was indeed very effective. Mother Tu was locked in the villa, without any contact with her phone. So, she had no chance to contact Tu Youran secretly. She was kept in the villa for two days, fed well with no force applied. Chu Xiuhuang did not seem to be in any hurry at all, visiting the hospital every day to care for Shi Huan. Little Luoluo, however, was living in his villa. Although she couldnt call him Dad or Grandpa yet, she was happy and content as she could see Shi Huan every day. She had already forgotten about her previous parents. On the morning of the third day, the bodyguard suddenly presented Mother Tu with a bloody piece of a womans finger, saying that they had found Tu Youran. Because she also refused to tell the truth about what happened those many years ago, so they chopped off one of her fingers. If she still refused to speak, theyd continue with the chopping. With this threat, the old lady was terrified, completely breaking down. In a crying plea, she said, Ill talk, Ill tell you everything, please let Youran go, Im begging you Chu Xiuhuang immediately came to the villa next door. Say it, what exactly was the situation back then? Mother Tu had been locked up for two days. Apart from fear, she hadnt really suffered much. In fact, because the food was too good her face appeared a bit rounder due to a lack of exercise. At this point, seeing Chu Xiuhuang, she shivered but still took a long while to speak. Youre still not talking? Chu Xiuhuangs eyes turned cold and he began to turn around, Then Ill just have to continue questioning Tu Youran. Ill talk, Ill talk! Mother Tu rushed forward and grabbed his arm, Master Chu, I beg you not to torture Youran anymore! Shes still young. If her hand is crippled, how will she live her life? Ill talk, Ill talk right now, Ill tell you everything! Chu Xiuhuang turned around, ready to lend an ear. After about a minute, Mother Tu finally revealed the truth about the dead baby switch-up those many years ago. At last, she looked at the handsome yet ruthless man in front of her and tried pleading for her daughter, Master Chu, actually Youran just wanted the best for Shi Huan. She was only eighteen at the time, just graduated from high school, and was heavily pregnant. If she had become a single mother at that age, how could she go on living? The Shi Family wouldnt have accepted her, and even if she gave birth to the child, there was no way they would be treated well. So when Yourans child died in the womb, she brought back the child that Shi Huan gave birth to and raised her. Over the years, Youran has taken care of Luoluo as if she were her own child. If you dont believe me, you can ask anyone in the Shi Family, Youran has never mistreated Luoluo. Master Chu, Ive told you the truth, can you let Youran go now? Master Chu, Master Chu, Master Chu Without saying anything, Chu Xiuhuang just turned around and left. Chapter 671 - Chapter 671: 671, The Cat that Changed a Prince Chapter 671: 671, The Cat that Changed a Prince Chu Xiuhuang quickly returned to the hospital. In the ward, Shi Huan was lying there watching television. These past few days, she had been able to slightly elevate her hospital bed, and even get out of bed, though getting up remained quite difficult for her as it could easily aggravate her rib injury. She was watching financial news on TV, something that most women wouldnt care about, but which held her complete attention. Until Chu Xiuhuang suddenly appeared. He marched right in, leaned over without hesitation, and took her in his arms. Shi Huan jumped in surprise, Mr. Chu, you Dont speak! Shi Huan: Chu Xiuhuang held onto her with his embrace, careful not to press against her wounds, his head lowered, his eyelids heavy as he caught his breath deeply. When Shi Huan mysteriously found out she was pregnant, Madam Shi was very angry and forbade her from studying abroad, instructing her to stay home until the baby was born. Im not entirely sure of the details, the rumors at that time suggested she lived a loose life, having supposedly gone out to party with her friends, and ending up pregnant from fooling around with old men. In an effort to protect his niece, Shi Minyan destroyed a bar over this matter. But in the process, he injured people and was jailed for it. Youran, who was three months pregnant at the time, ran around trying to gather the resources to help him, barely managing to get him out but nearly causing her own miscarriage. Her child didnt end up developing well either. Later on when Youran was in the hospital trying to preserve her pregnancy, Shi Huan was brought in to deliver her baby. Not a single person from Shi family came to help. I remember her baby was premature, and she had excessive bleeding. Everyone assumed the baby couldnt make it, so we secretly brought Luoluo back and started raising her. Only Youran and I knew about this. When Youran lost her child, we truly loved Luoluo, treating her like our own daughter The voice of Mrs. Tu echoed through his mind again and again. The information was so overwhelming that Chu Xiuhuang still found it hard to digest right now. Not long ago, he even suspected that Tu Youran escaped out of guilt, and Mrs. Tu liedcould it be that Little Luoluo belonged to Shi Qingge? Had they secretly supplanted one child for another? Although he couldnt remember when he ever had a relationship with that woman. But what he never considered was that Little Luoluo was actually Shi Huans biological daughter. She was only twenty-four. That meant six years ago, she was just eighteen. The thought that he had with her, who had just come of age after getting her drunk.. And then she suffered untold hardships in the Shi family for so many years, believing her child had died, making Luoluo call others mom and dad. Chu Xiuhuang felt like he was nothing more than an animal! His heart was convulsing as if being gouged out, waves of discomfort came over him, and even his eyes were starting to throb He abruptly lowered his head. Mr. Chu? Shi Huan was struggling to breathe being held tightly by him, especially her neck, which was awkwardly bent and uncomfortably warm. Unable to bear it any longer, she spoke again, Mr. Chu, whats going on? Raising her arms, with some hesitation, she grabbed his clothing, Mr. Chu, could you ease your grip? Its quite painful. Finally, Chu Xiuhuangs hands relaxed, Shi Huan could now breathe more easily. Huanhuan. The mans voice was huskier than usual. Shi Huan lifted her head. As soon as she caught sight of his eyes, her heart jerked. Chu Xiuhuang was naturally handsome, with a sort of delicate and pretty look. His features were exceptionally delicate. At that moment, his normally narrowed eyes gleamed with unshed tears, sparkling like a clear spring as they stared straight into hers, giving off an unexpectedly intense romantic vibe. Ahem, ahem. Unable to help herself, she coughed twice, Mr. Chu, whats wrong with you The next second. Shi Huans eyes widened in surprise. Finally, Shi Huan couldnt help pulling on his clothes, as a form of protest. Chu Xiuhuang finally let her go. However They were still very close to each other. As Shi Huan stood there, staring at him blankly, she suddenly felt her face heating up Um. As soon as she spoke, she realized her voice had grown quite hoarse. But she still asked, Xiuhuang, whats wrong with you? They had known each other for many years, and recently he had been confessing his feelings for her without reason, and today was even more outrageous, he even Huanhuan. Chu Xiuhuangs voice was husky, Do you really not remember anything? Remember what? Shi Huan knitted her brows slightly. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her. Shi Huan opened her eyes wide, seeming stunned. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly leaned toward her again Just like a woodpecker. Shi Huans face turned crimson. She was utterly dumbfounded. What in the world was Xiuhuang doing? Finally, Chu Xiuhuang released her, taking a long breath from his mouth. What to do? Seeing Shi Huan blushing made him want to It took Chu Xiuhuang a long time to calm his excited emotions. He asked, Huanhuan, do you remember what happened six years ago? What? Shi Huan was still somewhat bewildered. Chu Xiuhuang said, Six years ago, you went to a high school reunion that night, do you remember what happened afterward? Shi Huan furrowed her brows, thinking hard, After the reunion I just went home. And then? Chu Xiuhuang raised his head, his phoenix eyes intently fixed on her. And then Shi Huan started to recall, her delicate eyebrows slowly knitted together, a thoughtful look in her eyes. Just as Chu Xiuhuang was eagerly anticipating, Shi Huan suddenly raised both hands, covering the gauze on her head, her face turned pale, she closed her eyes, I cant rememberI Is your head hurting again? Chu Xiuhuang quickly grasped her wrist, Its okay, if you cant remember then its fine, we can talk about it when you do. He pressed the call bell. He also quickly called Nangong Ci for the best neurologists to come over. Before long, the doctors, including Nangong Ci, rushed over, and after hearing Chu Xiuhuangs feedback, they started asking Shi Huan some specific questions. Chu Xiuhuang went to the hallway and dialed a number, Come to the hospital now, I have some questions for you. * * * About ten minutes later. Young Master Chu, Miss Shi seems to be suffering from some form of selective amnesia. From a medical standpoint, this symptom is generally due to subconscious rejection and resistance. In other words, the brain selects to forget memories that cause extreme pain based on the patients emotions and will. Extreme pain? Chu Xiuhuang knitted his brows tightly, When will she be able to remember then? This is uncertain, because the blood clot in the back of Miss Shis brain is still present. Before the blood clot disappears, she may remember the part of memory she lost due to some stimulation, or it may be lost forever. The doctor paused for a moment before suggesting, I recommend letting it go naturally. If there is no compelling reason to remember, and these lost memories can cause Miss Shis painful memories, why insist on making her remember, right? Chu Xiuhuang didnt answer. Nangong Ci next to him asked, If we dont do surgery, can the clot be removed in some other way? We can only wait for time. After all, brain surgeries are very dangerous. Besides the memory loss, Miss Shi hasnt any other issues with her brain functions, so I do not recommend taking the risk with this surgery. Nangong Ci nodded, Xiuhuang, do you have any more questions? Upon seeing that Chu Xiuhuang still remained silent, Nangong Ci waved his hand to let the doctors leave. Then he started calling, Xiuhuang? Xiuhuang? Xiuhuang! After being called three times, Chu Xiuhuang finally came to his senses. He glanced at him with annoyance, Are you a tape recorder? Hehe. Nangong Ci gave an awkward smile, Xiuhuang, what memories did Miss Shi lose? I dont think theres anything wrong with Miss Shi. She was still the same Shi Huan he knew, calm, optimistic, quiet, and gentle. Isnt it said that people with amnesia have their personalities flipped, like they become a whole new person? Chapter 672 - Chapter 672: 672, be a good person, its never too late to mend. Chapter 672: 672, be a good person, its never too late to mend. Mistress. Chu Xiuhuang suddenly raised a hand, placing it on Nangong Cis shoulder, face-to-face, his gaze focused and solemn, Second Brother, I have a piece of advice for you. Nangong Ci was shocked by this sudden gesture. Brother Second Brother, say whatever you want to say, dont dont scare me like this! Why is this starting to sound like an inheritance will? Chu Xiuhuang then said earnestly, Live a good life, turning back is the shore, dont think you are young, so you can act recklessly all the time. Also, drink less in the future, alcohol is not good, it only causes problems. Second Brother, I decided to quit drinking. After saying that, he turned around and entered the sickroom. Nangong Ci stood still, shocked and unable to recover for a long time. Wow! Has Second Brother gone mad? During Secretary Shis resignation, he was called to accompany him for a drink every night. Now, he is actually advising him to drink less and quit drinking himself? ** In the sickroom, the doctor had already left. When Shi Huan saw Chu Xiuhuang, her face couldnt help but blush. Inevitably, she thought of the sudden move he made earlier Huanhuan. Chu Xiuhuang sat at the edge of the bed, he reached out and took her small hand, weaving their fingers together. This affectionate gesture made Shi Huans heart accelerate. Mr. Chu, you Stop calling me Mr. Chu. Shi Huan: Call me Axui, or Chu Xiuhuang cracked a smile, hubby. Hubby? All Shi Huan could hear was thunder crackling, Mr. Chu, are you okay today? I learned something today. Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her again, Its about you. Do you want to know? What is it? Chu Xiuhuang smiled and said, Actually, Luoluo is my biological daughter. Shi Huan nodded, You told me this a few days ago. The past few days, Little Luoluo started living with him. Perhaps because they already knew each other, Little Luoluo was not very resistant to her new dad. Do you know who her biological mother is? Upon hearing this question, Shi Huan furrowed her brows, Isnt it Tu Youran? No. Shi Huan was taken aback. Chu Xiuhuang smiled and said, Her biological mother is you. Shi Huan was completely stunned, staring blankly at him, unable to speak. Were you shocked? Chu Xiuhuang squeezed her small, soft hand, as if there were no bones in it. His heart softened, and his voice became especially gentle, Actually, I was shocked too, but I am really happy, our family of three in the future Mr. Chu. Shi Huan interrupted him abruptly, Actually, I really like Luoluo, you dont needjust to marry me, say these things. Even if She said with some difficulty, Even if I really do marry you, I would still really like Luoluo. Chu Xiuhuang: Im serious. Cough cough. Chu Xiuhuang was a bit speechless. Luoluo really is your biological daughter, didnt you notice that she looks a lot like you? Shes my sister, its normal for us to look alike. Then why is she so fond of you? Shi Huan thought for a while, Fate, perhaps? Yes, a mother-daughter bond. Shi Huan: After a while. Mr. Chu, dont joke around. Back then, I didnt even know you, how could we possibly Our interaction was an accident. Chu Xiuhuang said seriously, Its just that you sustained a brain injury and lost all memory of this event. I only found out through Tu Yourans mother. It cant be fake. When you were in labor, the doctors said the child couldnt be saved, which led you to believe that the baby died as soon as she was born. But in reality, she didnt die. She was stolen by Tu Youran and her mother. Tu Youran may have harmed you for fear that you would find out the truth one day and take Luoluo away. Shi Huan looked at him, unable to believe it. Youre very smart, think about everything in hindsight and youll know that I didnt lie to you. If youre still in doubt, later on, Ill bring Tu Yourans mother over, and shell tell you personally. After a pause, Chu Xiuhuang said, Your uncle will be here soon too. You can ask him. But I really dont remember having had any relations with you. Shi Huan bit her lip and then said, Werent you interested in Shi Qingge back then? Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice, My feelings for your sister were just a temporary confusion, back then I was quite superficial, now I like you. I thought such an explanation was frank enough, who knew Isnt Weiyi the one you like now? Weiyi? How did the little princess come into this conversation again? Chu Xiuhuang really wanted to roll his eyes, When did I start liking her? Two years ago, you two were betrothed, and you seem to care for her a lot. Last time, reporters even caught you two in a hotel Damn, that was an accident. I came out of the shower and saw her in the room. Didnt I already say it at that time, you are my girlfriend, I dont have anything to do with her. Anyway, I am now over the moon. Ive found my wife and child that I lost five or six years ago. From now on, cant the three of us live happily together? Shi Huan still found it somewhat incredible. How could that be? All along, she regarded Chu Xiuhuang as her boss. He was cynical and reckless, seemingly carefree and not serious about anything. She also never thought that there would be any other development between her and Chu Xiuhuang. Even though he confessed his feelings continuously and deliberately got close to her, she thought it was all just a joke, even the kiss from earlier Little Huanhuan, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly called out with nauseating affection, How did that feel just now? How did what feel? Shi Huan was a little bewildered and inexplicably nervous, especially seeing him constantly getting closer, her eye involuntarily drifting downward. Just now, it seemed like you quite liked it, want to try again? Err Shi Huans mind was blank for a moment, before she could even say anything. Taken completely by surprise. Shi Huans eyes squeezed shut, her fingers gripping his clothes tightly, the fabric gradually twisting in her hand, until Knock knock knock! The door to the room was suddenly knocked and then pushed open. Ah, my apologies, sorry. Shi Huan quickly pushed Chu Xiuhuang away, her face burning with embarrassment. Standing at the door was a petite nurse, her face equally red. Behind her stood Shi Minyan. No one expected to walk in on such a scene. The nurse looked on with eyes full of envy. Wow, Young Master Chu really seems to like Miss Shi a lot, theyve started their hospital room romance even when the injury just healed a bit, in the future they will Chu Xiuhuang got up, looking very composed, Sit. Shi Minyans eyes flickered and he decided to walk into the hospital room. His gaze constantly landed on Shi Huans face, the scene he had just witnessed churned his heart up like overturned spice jars. Not long ago, Shi Huan stated directly that her relationship with Chu Xiuhuang was merely that of a subordinate and a boss, but now He took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa. The little nurse was taking Shi Huans temperature at the side, while Chu Xiuhuang, with his long strides, approached them, Mr. Shi, have you lost weight? It looks like you havent been doing well these days. Shi Minyan: Not doing well was an understatement for his past few days. First, the divorce, then realizing that the daughter he had been raising for five years turned out to be Chu Xiuhuangs child. So, he hadnt been to the hospital for these past days. Because whenever he came, he would see Chu Xiuhuang, which would remind him of the cuckolding he had experienced for five or six years! Damn Tu Youran! I asked you to come today because I wanted to ask you something, Chu Xiuhuangs voice rang out. Shi Minyan snapped back to reality, Please ask, Young Master Chu. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, his thin lips parting, Huanhuan had a brain injury and forgot about having a child back then. Shi Minyan was somewhat surprised, You already knew about this? Chu Xiuhuang nodded, his thin lips curling into a knowing smile, Does your family believe that the child is already dead? What do you mean? Is the child not dead? Shi Minyan couldnt hide the shock on his face, he couldnt even pretend to be calm. Shi Huan was equally shocked. If she had found it unbelievable before, now that even her uncle was saying the same thing, it seemed like this was true. Chu Xiuhuang continued, Actually, Luoluo is that child from back then, our child, do you understand now? Shi Minyan was completely stunned. He turned into a statue, frozen and motionless. He always thought that Luoluo was the cuckolding child Tu Youran gave him, he didnt expect Chapter 673 - Chapter 673: 673, Outrageous Wanwan: The hospital is really subpar! Chapter 673: 673, Outrageous Wanwan: The hospital is really subpar! Suddenly, Shi Minyan stood up and rushed to the bed, Huanhuan, do you really not remember what happened six years ago? Shi Huan shook her head. Shi Minyan asked again, Then do you remember, how you returned to the Shi Family? How did she return to the Shi Family? Tilting her head, Shi Huan recalled carefully, I remember that one day, Grandpa suddenly came to the orphanage, and then he brought me back to the Shi Family. What about other things? Dont you remember anything else? Do you remember me being your teaching assistant? Shi Huan looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her beautiful apricot eyes clear and bright. Then, she slowly shook her head. Shi Minyan let out a bitter laugh. She couldnt remember. She really didnt remember. She had forgotten not only the pregnancy and childbirth but also, incidentally, the relationship between him and her. What does this mean? Little Uncle? Whats wrong with you? Shi Huan asked. Her expression was concerned, and her eyes were as clear as ever, not at all like pretending. However, Shi Minyan felt overwhelmingly ironic. He turned around. He walked out of the ward in a mechanical manner. Shi Huan looked at Chu Xiuhuang, Whats wrong with him? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, his handsome face contemplative. But soon after, he sat down at the side of the bed. He lifted up his hand and naturally held her little hand. Shi Huan: She tried to pull her hand back. After all, the little nurse was still standing there. But Chu Xiuhuang held her hand so tightly that she couldnt get it free. Meanwhile, his deep, magnetic voice rang out, You heard what your uncle said just now, didnt you? Do you still doubt Luoluos identity? Shi Huan didnt say anything. Chu Xiuhuang chuckled softly, Do you want to see Luoluo? He glanced at the time, Its noon, school should be over. Should I go pick up Luoluo? We could have a meal together as a family. A family? Shi Huan felt like she was dreaming. She had been Chu Xiuhuangs secretary for over five years, only to find now that they had a child together six years ago, and that child was Luoluo. It was simply amazing. Why arent you saying anything? Chu Xiuhuangs voice was unnaturally gentle, Youre not going to reject me, are you? Do you want to make Luoluo a child without a mother? Do you want her to be laughed at by other children as a burden? No Shi Huan said hesitantly, Well if you want to get married, lets get married. Luoluo was her child with Chu Xiuhuang, it seemed like she couldnt refuse this marriage. Even though she felt that she and Chu Xiuhuang were from two different worlds and the Chu Familys situation was complicated. But for the childs sake, marriage seemed the best option. Chu Xiuhuang didnt know about her thoughts. All he knew was that Little Huanhuan had finally agreed to marry him and he was very happy. Shi Huan: She blushed. Could he not be so enthusiastic for no reason? There was even a nurse watching on the side. I am so happy. Chu Xiuhuang was excited beyond measure, I will go pick up Luoluo now. Wait for me here. Okay. Shi Huan blushed and nodded. Chu Xiuhuang stood up satisfied, Alright, Im leaving. Not until Chu Xiuhuang had left did Shi Huan glance over and see the nurse blushing beyond belief. She lowered her head, wishing she could crawl into a hole. ** Chu Xiuhuang drove away from the hospital and, at the gate, he passed a red car. After parking the car, Su Wanwan got out with a large bouquet of pink roses. Today was Friday. Because there were classes at school, she had taken the day off from work at the television station and decided to visit Shi Huan at the hospital during lunch. She had just stepped out of the elevator on the 20th floor when her phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Mo Weiyi, Wanwan, Im almost at the hospital, where are you? Su Wanwan replied, 20th floor, come on, Im waiting for you. Okay. Two nurses walked down the corridor. At first, Su Wanwan didnt pay any attention, until she heard one of the nurses say, I was just taking Miss Shis temperature, you wont believe what I saw? The older nurse asked, What? As soon as I opened the door, I saw Young Master Chu kissing her! Oh my god, are you serious! Su Wanwan came to a halt. Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan were kissing? Holy crap! Did these two start to see each others true colors in adversity? Next. Master Chu is really a good man, he doesnt mind at all that Miss Shi has been slept with by five different men. Miss Shi really had it rough. If that happened to me, I wouldve jumped off a building. But Master Chu doesnt seem bothered by it. Theyre about to get married! Really? Are you starting to feel envious? Not particularly, but having been slept with by five different men is just Stop right there! The sharp rebuke startled the two nurses. When they saw Su Wanwan, they froze even more. Su Wanwan immediately pulled out her phone and dialed a number, Mistress, 20th floor, get here now! Nangong Ci asked, What happened, sister-in-law? Su Wanwan hung up without a word. Nangong Ci on the other end was completely baffled. The two young nurses hadnt a clue what was happening. Seeing Su Wanwans face, however, they knew it wasnt good and tried to leave by pressing the elevator button. But Stay where you are! None of you are going anywhere! Su Wanwan said this and then went ahead and grabbed one of the nurses arms, forcefully pulling her around, You think you can leave after youve finished gossiping? Since when is it so easy to get away with it? The young nurse staggered and almost fell over. She leaned against the wall, her face pale with fright and couldnt help but retort, Who the hell are you? Does our chatter bother you? Not your chatter, but your badmouthing behind the back of my friend! That I cant stomach! Friend? The young nurse started to panic. Damn it! They were just casually chatting some gossip while walking, and it got overheard by Shi Huans friend. What do you want? another older nurse asked. Su Wanwans stunning phoenix eyes narrowed, If this wasnt a hospital, I wouldve slapped you two a hundred times! Lets see if you dare to badmouth others after that! The young nurses face paled instantly. The older nurse was adamant, On what grounds are you chastising us? The whole hospital knows about this matter. Were merely having a chat, we didnt insult her, nor was it badmouthing, right? Youre still talking! Su Wanwan stepped forward and raised her right hand sharply. Ah! The young nurse screamed in a flash. But Su Wanwan quickly put her hand down. The older nurse immediately said, This is a hospital, no place for your tantrums! Su Wanwan scoffed, Mistress, you handle this. Mistress? Sister-in-law, what happened? A familiar male voice sounded, and the two nurses were aghast when they saw who had arrived. Damn it! The deputy director had come all the way here, and he even called this young lady sister-in-law? Su Wanwan spoke directly, I only found out today that the standards of your hospital are so low! What kind of employees do you hire that do nothing but gossip about others behind their backs all day long? Nangong Ci asked, Sister-in-law, what did they do to upset you? He had taken the stairs directly up. Originally, he was buying a drink at the 18th-floor cafe. Suddenly, he received a call from Su Wanwan. She seemed really angry, which scared him so much he didnt dare to take the elevator Its not me theyve offended! Su Wanwan was so angry that her shoulders were shaking slightly, Its Huanhuan! What happened to her was tragic enough, but they still gossip about it here! You are the deputy director of this place. You tell me, how should employees who talk behind patients backs, exposing their wounds and violating their privacy, be handled? After hearing all this, Nangong Ci understood what had happened. He looked at the two nurses, his expression severe, Didnt I say before that gossiping about patients during work hours was not allowed? Did you take my words as a mere breeze? Seeing the situation turn sour, the two nurses quickly began to apologize: Deputy Director, I was wrong. I didnt mean it. Deputy Director, please forgive me this time Before Nangong Ci could speak, Su Wanwan interjected, Just now you were quite excited to gossip, why the sudden wilt? The two nurses lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Nangong Ci was shocked beyond belief. Wilt? Damn, what kind of fiery language is sister-in-law using? How the hell did my brother educate his wife? Chapter 674 - Chapter 674: 674, Does a goldfish count as a pet? Chapter 674: 674, Does a goldfish count as a pet? Do you think a simple apology is enough to shirk responsibility? Dont you know the terrible consequences of spreading rumors behind others backs? Everyone unbeknownst to it, have heard about it because of what youve spread. All of them are gossiping behind backs like you and disrupting the rest of the hospital patients. What if these rumors reach the party involved? And what if theyre emotionally feeble and driven to suicide by your provocations, which leads to a loss of lifecan you bear this responsibility? Su Wanwan was truly angry. When it comes to a womans chastity, anyone mildly susceptible would have chosen suicide earlier because of the continuous discussion and mockery. Thats why she admired Shi Huan so much; she felt that Shi Huan was incredibly strong and brave, but hearing these two people spreading rumors made her really angry. After the accusations, Su Wanwan looked at Nangong Ci, Little Ci, why has the deputy director stopped speaking? Nangong Ci cleared his throat and said seriously, You two, resign immediately! As soon as these words were said, the two nurses started crying. Deputy director, I was wrong, I really was wrong. It wasnt intentional, please give me another chance, deputy director. Sorry, I swear I wont do it again. Deputy Director, please give me another chance. While the two were wailing, the elevator doors opened. Nangong Ci turned to look, Oh, Little Princess, youve also come. Mo Weiyi got off the elevator, dressed in a professional outfit and accompanied by bodyguards. What happened? Nothing. Nangong Ci directly called the security, Quickly, take these two to complete the resignation process. He thought to himself, little sister-in-law should be satisfied at this point, who could have guessed Wait a minute. The two nurses quickly turned their attention to Su Wanwan, who had spoken. Su Wanwan asked, Do you know your mistake? We know it. Good. Squinting her phoenix eyes, Su Wanwan said, Both of you, follow me to the ward now and apologize to Huanhuan in person, and you must not mention the specific reasons. Nangong Ci was stunned. The two nurses immediately nodded. Once they entered the ward, Shi Huan looked at the large group of people, What happened? Su Wanwan simply said, These two were talking badly about you in the corridor earlier, I asked them to come and apologize to you. Upon her stern gaze, the two nurses hurriedly started apologising persistently: Im sorry, Miss Shi, I was wrong. Its all my fault, I shouldnt talk behind your back. Miss Shi, please forgive me this time for your generous sake. Shi Huan looked confused, What happened? What did they say? Nangong Ci explained tactfully, Its nothing, its just that these two young nurses are a bit juvenile and said some inappropriate things. Miss Shi, dont worry, they realised their mistakes. I will punish them later. Shi Huan frowned, What did they say about me? The two nurses dared not to answer. Nangong Ci advised, Miss Shi, dont think too much about it. Those two nurses are just jealous because you and Brother Two have a good relationship. Eyeing one of the familiar-looking nurses, Shi Huan understood in her heart and sincerely said, Yes, I indeed accepted Chu Xiuhuangs marriage proposal. What? Youre marrying Big Huang? Su Wanwan was surprised, Really? Mo Weiyi also asked, Have you thought this through? Hes quite a womanizer. What if he cheats again after marriage? Shi Huan said, Theres no choice even if we dont get married. What do you mean? After Shi Huan explained everything, the entire hospital ward was silent. It was a long while before Wow! Nangong Ci gulped, So Brother Two and you got involved six years ago? And Luoluo is your biological daughter? Shi Huan nodded. Nangong Ci felt as if he was listening to a crazy story. This dramatic story happened right next to him. Mo Weiyi then chimed, I knew it, the moment I first saw Luoluo, I felt she looked just like you! They really are mother and daughter! Shi Huan laughed. In the past, she thought she and Little Luoluo were cousins, so when others said they looked alike, she didnt think much of it, but as things turned out Mo Weiyi then said, Huanhuan, can I be Luoluos godmother? Ah? I want to too! Su Wanwan also wanted to sign up. Then Ill be the godfather! Nangong Ci immediately joined. Before Shi Huan could say anything, Su Wanwan directly sent a dismissive look towards Nangong Ci, You cant even manage hospital nurses properly, are you qualified to be a godfather? Nangong Ci: * * Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan stayed in the ward for about half an hour. When Chu Xiuhuang returned with Little Luoluo, and the servants brought lunch, the two of them took their leave. Su Wanwan drove directly back to school while Mo Weiyi rode in Rong Ans car back to the law firm. Just as they left the hospital, Stop the car! Rong An immediately pulled over, Princess, whats wrong? Get out of the car with me to buy some goldfish. Rong An: He had no choice but to follow the little princess out of the car. There happened to be a vendor selling goldfish on the roadside, even a variety of aquariums. Mo Weiyi picked a few goldfish of her favorite color, chose a pretty fishbowl to house them, and craddled them into the car like a precious gift. While in Shi Huans ward, she noticed a few goldfish being kept on the tea table. She found the work at the law firm to be extremely dull and boring and definitely needed to spice up her surroundings a bit. However, when they arrived at the foot of the law firms building, Mo Weiyi had another idea. Go with me to the store to buy some flowers. Rong An: ..Sure. * * Thus, an hour later. At Yurui Law Firm, 10th floor. Everyone in the office area saw Mo Weiyi walking in clutching a fishbowl, followed by a bodyguard dressed in black holding a huge bouquet of bright, colourful flowers and carrying two big bags. Weiyi, what did you buy? Yunyun curiously came over and asked. I bought some plants, flowers, and a few dolls. Oh. Yunyun covered her mouth, lowered her voice and reminded, Did you forget? Lawyer Lu has a rule that pets are prohibited in the law firm. Mo Weiyi tilted her face, Are goldfish considered pets? Yunyun paused, Are they not? Of course not. Mo Weiyi went right into the office saying that. Yunyun: Alright then. Ever since her first day of the internship, when she got scalded, everyone in the law firm knew that she was the princess of the Mo family from Nancheng. As this week began and she returned to work, no one dared to utter harsh words to her, let alone instruct her to do anything. Though she was merely an intern, to be honest, her status in the law firm was no different from that of Lu Chenyu. * * After all the flowers and plants were arranged, Rong An left. At two oclock in the afternoon, when the old man Wang arrived at the office with his briefcase, he was nearly blinded. He had been to the city court with Lu Chenyu this morning and was absent from the office only for half a day, but now the office looked completely changed. The originally black, simple and serious office environment was now completely transformed, with potted plants and vases everywhere. There were roses, lilies, tulips. The fragrance was simply overwhelming! Mo Weiyis desk was even more ornate, with all kinds of cute decorations and dolls, even a fishbowl. There was even a vase of red roses on his own desk. Assistant Wang, do you like roses? Mo Weiyi asked, If not, I can switch them out for you. Old Wang adjusted his glasses, coughed lightly, I like. How could he dare to reject the little princesss goodwill? Mo Weiyi beamed, then turned her attention back to the files. Old Wang went to his desk, sat down promptly, turned on his computer, and prepared the review report from this mornings court session. Half an hour later, he sent the report to Lu Chenyu. Before long, there was a knock at the door. Mo Weiyi looked up to see Lu Chenyu standing emotionless at the entrance. His gaze trailed slowly around the room, eventually landing on her adorable face. Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes and promptly stood up, Master, did you need anything from me? Upon hearing the word Master, Lu Chenyus facial muscles twitched fiercely, then he said, Are you here to intern? Or to appreciate flowers and fish? Old Wang looked at his boss, his eyes full of admiration. Indeed, Lawyer Lu was remarkable. Who else would dare to ask this question? Mo Weiyi smiled beautifully and obediently, Master, of course Im here to intern. Lu Chenyu: After a disdainful glance at the mass of pink dolls on her desk, he quickly turned around and walked away. He even forgot that he originally came to pick up the review report from Old Wang. Back in his office, he turned on his computer, entered Zhihu (Chinese version of Quora), and started typing a question: How to make an intern realize the difficulty and retreat? How to make her resign by herself? Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: 675, a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father Chapter 675: 675, a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father Before long, the landline on Mo Weiyis desk started ringing. Upon hearing this, not only was she shocked, but even Old Wang was taken aback. Who? Who was that daring? Dared to ask the Mo Familys Little Princess to do work? Mo Weiyi quickly answered, Hello? An emotionless male voice came from the receiver, Didnt the HR department teach you how to answer the phone? Huh? Master? Why isnt Master responding? After a long pause, Lu Chenyu finally managed to muster up the words, Theres a set of documents here. Come help me photocopy them. Mo Weiyi was thrilled, Of course, Master, Ill be right there! Wow, she had been interning at the law firm for a week and her Master finally let her start doing real tasks! Looking to the side, sure enough, old Wang looked stunned. Did Lawyer Lu ask for you? Yes. What does he want you to do? He asked me to photocopy documents. Oh. Old Wang muttered to himself. Hell, isnt that my job? Just now, Lawyer Lu seemed very displeased with the Little Princesss attitude, and now hes having her do work? What happened to being a decor piece? Mo Weiyi had already left excitedly. Next door was Lu Chenyus office. Upon reaching the door, she lifted her small hand and politely knocked three times on the door. Knock knock knock. Come in. Mo Weiyi pushed open the door, Master. Lu Chenyus facial nerves twitched rapidly, he couldnt help but say, Im not your Master. Dont call me that from now on. Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, cat-like eyes, But all the other interns refer to their teachers as their Master. Are you everybody else? Mo Weiyi shook her small head, No. Then dont call me that. No way! Lu Chenyu: Once a teacher, always a father figure. Lu Chenyu squinted, What did you say? Um, I said it wrong, but but you know what I mean. Mo Weiyi quickly changed the subject, Master, where are the documents that you mentioned earlier? Lu Chenyu impatiently raised his finger to tap the table, This entire stack. Mo Weiyi was surprised, Theres so many? Lu Chenyu raised his dead-fish eyes, Hmm? Oh, Ill get to photocopying right away. Mo Weiyi quickly managed to pick up the small mountain of files. She had to listen to her Masters orders. She wouldnt be so willing to do this for anyone else. Just as she took a couple of steps with the documents Stop. Mo Weiyi made an effort to turn around, Master, whats wrong? Lu Chenyu was still sitting there, but now slightly leaned to the side. His sharp eyes behind his glasses scanned her lovely, fair legs, Didnt HR teach you how to dress properly? Mo Weiyi looked down at herself. It was a professional outfit she had bought when shopping with Shi Huan. She bought several sets, this one was pink. Now in April, the weather was warm, so she wore a short-sleeved top and a knee-length skirt. Was there something wrong with it? She humbly asked, Master, is there something wrong with my outfit? The color is too bright! The skirt is too short! The material is too thin! If you dress like this again, you dont need to return to the internship. Having said that, Lu Chenyu straightened up and lowered his head to start working, Leave. Mo Weiyi pouted and left with the massive pile of documents. When she got to the outside copying room, she ran into Yunyun. Weiyi, you came to make copies as well? Wow, theres so much, did Lawyer Lu give all these to you? Mo Weiyi nodded. She was still lost in the criticism she had received. What was wrong with this dress? What was bright, what was short, and what was thin? Looking at Yunyuns all-black professional outfit that resembled a black widow, she frowned, Yunyun, do we really need to dress the same as you all at the law firm? Yunyun paused, How come? Did Lawyer Lu scold you? Mo Weiyi nodded. Yunyun took a quick glance outside to make sure no one was passing by before asking, How did Lawyer Lu scold you? The color is too bright, the skirt is too short, the fabric is too thin. Wow, Lawyer Lu is really nice to you, hes so kind! Mo Weiyi: Is this kind? There was an intern who wore a dress to work in the past, and Lawyer Lu saw her. He directly said that she was being too licentious, and had no shame! Mo Weiyi again: Wearing a dress means being licentious? Having no shame? Holy shit, did this Lu Chenyu time-travel from the ancient times? Dont be sad, Lawyer Lu is just like that, hes very demanding and picky. But you can learn a lot from him, we are all envious of you. Yunyun kindly reminded, Oh right, be sure to pay close attention to what he asks you to photocopy, dont make any mistakes. Okay. Well then, Im going ahead. Wait a minute. Mo Weiyi hurriedly stopped her, How do you use this photocopier? Yunyun: After finally teaching Little Princess how to use the photocopier, Yunyun picked up her belongings, I really have to go now. After Lu was fired, Im now following Qi. Shes even more strict than Lu and has a bad temper. Go ahead, go ahead. Mo Weiyi began to photocopy the files. An entire small hills worth of documents, photocopying them one by one, and had to operate it while standing. Finally completed all the photocopying, an hour and a half had passed. Mo Weiyi felt she hadnt done such tiring work in the last 20 years! Her hands were so sore, and her legs were also a bit numb from standing. Carrying the two sets of documents together, she made her way out of the photocopy room and returned to Lu Chenyus office. Master, Ive finished photocopying. Behind the desk, Lu Chenyu lifted his dead fish eyes. Master, if theres nothing else, Im going back to review the materials. Wait a moment. Lu Chenyu stopped her once again. Mo Weiyi asked, Whats the matter? Lu Chenyu picked up the top copy of the document, Do you do things without using your brain? Mo Weiyi was stunned. I asked you to photocopy, dont you check? Such obvious errors, are you blind? Cant you see it? Saying this, Lu Chenyu slammed the document on the table. Mo Weiyi quickly picked up the document. Taking a closer look, indeed there was a typo, but Mo Weiyi began to explain seriously: Master, You only asked me to photocopy, didnt said anything about checking for errors. Lawyer Lu darkened his handsome face, Do I need to tell you this? How did you become an intern? Mo Weiyi argued, Of course you need to tell me, how else would I know it? Im really very busy, theres a lot of material I still need to read, I just worked hard to help you photocopy so much, you never mentioned checking for errors first. If you said it earlier, I would have checked first before photocopying. Now Ive finished copying, and youre saying there are errors, isnt this wasting paper, wasting national resources? Lu Chenyu: In the end, Mo Weiyi was kicked out of his office. ** Back in the office, Mo Weiyi dialed Su Wanwans number almost immediately, ranting frantically. Wanwan, you said Lu Chenyu is a quiet man, but I somehow find him quite loquacious, you know? Even dictates what I should wear. Youve seen my outfit today. Its clearly very conservative, very professional, but he claimed my skirt was too short, the color too bright, the fabric too thin! Gave me a pile of documents to photocopy, and after all the hard work, complained I didnt check for errors! And claimed that I came to do the internship without a brain! So pissed! Infuriating! After listening to her, Su Wanwan replied, Mmm, is he doing it on purpose? On purpose? Mo Weiyi was confused, What do you mean? Where did I offend him? I would usually ignore others, its because hes my master that I listened to him! Weiyi, how about Su Wanwan gently suggested, You consider returning to the Mo Family to intern? Having such a large conglomerate at home, why make life difficult for Lawyer Lu? Running a law firm to make some money isnt easy anyway. But who knew No! I will intern here! Even later on I want to work here! I want to be the number one female lawyer at Yurui! Su Wanwan: ** In the meantime, Lu Chenyu made a call to his best friend. You need anything? Lu Chenyu said, When do you plan to take her away, you know, the one who you brought here? Who did I bring? Little Princess. Whats the matter, was she injured again? Or did she cause trouble for you again? Lu Chenyu: Well, not exactly. After all, as the Little Princess of the Mo Family, her identity is now completely revealed, who in the law firm would dare offend her? Who would dare assign her work? Isnt that asking for trouble? As for him, he considers himself not a kindly, self-sacrificing nice guy, and he doesnt have the energy to groom her. So to put it bluntly, this so-called intern Mo Weiyi, is more like A potty thats occupied but not in use, he really didnt see her use. Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: 676, occupying the outhouse but not shitting. Chapter 676: 676, occupying the outhouse but not shitting. Looks like the problem is pretty serious. Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, Bro, let me give you a few tips. Assign her more dirty and exhausting tasks, make her work overtime, set tasks for her on Saturdays and Sundays, and punish her if she doesnt complete them. I guess she wont be able to stand it and will want to quit in no time. Be more forgiving in other aspects. After all, the Little Princess is still a child. Shes been spoiled from a young age, you shouldnt pick a quarrel with her. Okay, Im really busy right now and will continue to be busy, dont bother me if theres nothing important, hanging up now. With that, he hung up the phone. Lu Chenyu: ** Hospital. After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiuhuang checked the time, Luoluo, its time to go back to class. Little Luoluo was looking at the goldfish by the coffee table. Hearing him, she raised her head to look at him, with a clear sense of reluctance on her face. Looking at the adorable figure of the little girl, Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but walk over. He picked up his precious daughter in his arms, Good girl, call me daddy! Little Luoluo pursed her lips. Here we go again. She looked to Shi Huan for help. Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, Didnt we already teach you? From now on, call Huanhuan mom and call me dad. Mom? Little Luoluos delicate little face crinkled up, Why? Chu Xiuhuang explained, dead serious, Because we are your mom and dad. Its just that your dad has spent so many years not being able to find you. From now on, we will be a family of three, understand? Little Luoluo: I dont understand! Her original mom and dad havent looked for her for several days, as if they have disappeared. These few days she had been living with Chu Xiuhuang. Every day he picked her up from school and they went to the hospital together to visit Huanhuan. Better just send her to school first. Shi Huan couldnt help but speak up. All of a sudden she became the mother of a five-year-old child, to be honest, even she was having some trouble adapting, let alone the five-year-old. When his wife spoke, Chu Xiuhuang naturally agreed, Alright, we will do as you say. Anyway, they had several decades of their lives ahead, they could take it slow, there was no rush. Having said that, he went straight to the bed, holding Luoluo. Shi Huans pupils dilated instinctively, Youwhat are you doing? He wouldnt happen to As expected. A goodbye kiss. Chu Xiuhuangs words came out naturally and boldly. Shi Huans face turned awkward, ButLuoluo is here. Ive been reading books on education recently. Experts say that we should often let the child watch their parents embracing and being affectionate. This can make the child realize that they live in a loving family. Having said that, Chu Xiuhuang did just that. Shi Huan: Thats a relief. Just a brief touch, stopping soon after he began. But Shi Huan still felt somewhat embarrassed, especially when facing little Luoluos big, clear eyes Did you think it was over? Chu Xiuhuang brought little Luoluo over to Shi Huans face again, Luoluo, give mom a goodbye kiss. Shi Huan: But Luoluo can only kiss moms cheek, remember? Chu Xiuhuang reminded her fatherly. Little Luoluo blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and touched her lips to Shi Huans cheek, making a smooching sound. Good girl. Shi Huan also couldnt help but smile, Luoluo, off to school. Remember to listen to the teacher. Okay. Little Luoluo obediently nodded her head. Then, Ill take her to school. Okay. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her, his gaze shifting. Shi Huan was half lying there, wearing a thin patient outfit, her black hair spread out on the pillow. She looked somewhat frail and delicate. Especially since the bandages around her head had been removed, leaving a small piece of gauze on the wound on her forehead. This spotlighted her clean, pale face, making her look particularly pitiful. If it werent for the child being there, he really wanted to hold her tight Knock, knock, knock. There was a sudden knock on the door. Chu Xiuhuang went over and opened the door. Standing at the door was a familiar-looking nurse, with red-rimmed eyes and a look of grievance, Miss Shi, Master Chu, I really know I was wrong. Can you please ask the Vice President not to fire me? Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, What do you mean? I didnt do it on purpose just now, and I know I was wrong, I have already apologized to Miss Shi, cant you give me another chance? The nurse spoke, tears falling down her face, Miss Shi, Mr. Chu, Im not a local. It was really hard for me to find this job Miss Shi, I beg you, can you plead with the deputy dean for me? Shi Huan frowned. Dismissal? Was it that serious? Chu Xiuhuang then asked, What happened just now? Shi Huan explained, She apparently said some unpleasant words, and Wanwan and Doctor Nangong overheard. Chu Xiuhuang continued to ask, What unpleasant words did she say? The nurse was nearly in tears, but in order to not lose her job, she had to be honest, I really know I was wrong, I shouldnt have discussed with Nurse Wang about Miss Shi being injured and gang-raped. But I didnt mean to insult, I was just envious Wait. Shi Huan suddenly interrupted her, You said I was gang-raped? What do you mean by this? The nurses tears streamed down, she apologized in a choked voice, I was wrong, Miss Shi, its all my fault, please Who did this rumor come from? When was I gang-raped? How could I not know? Shi Huan asked with a stern voice. Chu Xiuhuang looked at her. He was almost about to lose his temper. Damn it, when he was not at the hospital, these nurses were actually discussing this kind of matter? Thats outrageous! The nurse looked surprised. Shi Huan said with a serious face, That day, I was only beaten, they didnt touch me, later the workers from the company next door, and a good-hearted janitor sent me to the hospital, I fainted on the way. She looked at Chu Xiuhuang, So, youve always thought that I was tainted? Chu Xiuhuang coughed a few times, It seems like theres been a misunderstanding. Shi Huan looked at him with a strange expression, You didnt bother to clarify things? Didnt the hospital do a gynecological check? If they didnt, didnt you check with the police? Chu Xiuhuang: Since this wasnt a good matter, he didnt want to appeal to Shi Huans wounds, so he didnt ask further. Anyway, he has identifeid Shi Huan as his wife, and the scum who did it were punished. He even let Tu Youran suffer double humiliation.As for the police station He quickly said, Its all my fault. Indeed, you were wrong. Shi Huan didnt mince her words, This matter concerns my reputation, I must have the hospital conduct a thorough investigation, find out who was spreading lies, and give me a clear reasoning. I dont want to be wronged this way. Alright. Chu Xiuhuang nodded, Ill call Xiao San. Hmm. Soon, Nangong Ci came over. When he had figured out what happened, he was so shocked that he broke out into a cold sweat, and hurriedly apologized, Sorry, Secretary Shi, its all my fault, my work was careless. No problem. Shi Huan said calmly, This is a misunderstanding, I just dont want to be wronged, you dont need to be scared. oh. Nangong Ci was stunned. He sneaked a peek at Chu Xiuhuang. But Chu Xiuhuang gave him a cold glance, Didnt you hear what your sister-in-law said? I heard it, I heard it. Nangong Ci quickly responded, Secretary Shi no, sister-in-law, Ill go investigate right away. Damn. Why does it feel like Big brother got a short-tempered little sister-in-law and the second brothers sister-in-law is quite impressive! ** After a thorough investigation. The doctors and nurses who were involved in the rescue operation, and other related medical staff, were all investigated. They checked with the police about the interrogation results of the five men. They even called the overtime employees from the consulting company involved in the incident. And those nurses who spread the gossip were all called in for questioning. Within half an hour, the whole matter was thoroughly cleared. Nangong Ci had his secretary write an apology statement, and also sent a review notice to the entire hospital. The notice not only clarified the misunderstandings that arose in the incident but also criticized and punished the nurses involved in spreading rumors by name, and expressly ordered that from now on all medical staff should firmly eliminate any false remarks about patients in private discussions. After all this commotion, Little Luoluos class time was naturally delayed. Chu Xiuhuang drove his daughter back to school himself, when they arrived, the whole school gate was quiet, they were obviously late. Little Luoluo pouted her mouth, speaking in a childish voice, What happens if were late? Im sorry, its all daddys fault. Little Luoluo looked at Chu Xiuhuang, her big clear eyes were full of water, but she didnt speak. Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: 677, baby is the sweetest! Chapter 677: 677, baby is the sweetest! Feeling his heart melting under her gaze, Chu Xiuhuang could only softly and gently coax her, Then, how about Daddy accompany you to the classroom? Dont worry, sweetheart, the teacher surely wont blame you. Little Luoluo puckered her small mouth, and nodded her little head: Okay then. And so, Chu Xiuhuang directly took his precious daughter to her kindergarten classroom. By this time, the afternoon mathematics class had already started for twenty minutes. The young female teacher was seriously teaching at the podium, and the originally quiet classroom suddenly started to bustle. She looked towards the entrance and was stunned. A tall, handsome, young man stood at the doorway. He wore a simple dark shirt and black trousers. His legs were unreasonably long, his facial features were stunningly delicate. He was smiling with his thin lips, a smile so cocky and handsome. And yet, by his side, he was leading a beautiful little cutie. Hello, teacher. Upon hearing this magnetic and seductive low male voice, the female teacher was taken aback, her face even started to flush. She asked softly, Hello, may I ask who you are? My name is Chu Xiuhuang, I am Luoluos dad. Once these words left his mouth, the entire classroom was in an uproar. Fu Ziyang also couldnt help but be a bit surprised. Chu Xiuhuang continued to sport his charming smile, Because her mom is hospitalized, causing her to be late for class by twenty minutes, its all my fault. I hope the teacher wont blame Luoluo. Oh, okay, I I wont blame her. The female teachers heart was pitter-pattering as he looked into her eyes with his expressive gaze. She had never seen a man so good-looking and so handsome in all of her years. So honorable yet so ambivalent, so noble and intriguing, just like a romantic male lead that one would only see in a romance drama. No wonder Shi Luoluo is so delicate and pretty, it turns out its because her dads genes are too superior! Im sure her mom must be very beautiful too, right? Chu Xiuhuang loosened his fingers, Luoluo, go to class now. Uncle Wu will come to pick you up after school. Uncle Wu, who is also the bodyguard who helped the little girl buy ice cream the other day. These past few days, if Chu Xiuhuang couldnt find the time, he would occasionally ask him to pick up and drop off his daughter. Little Luoluo obediently nodded and quickly ran into the classroom. As soon as the little girl took her seat next to Fu Ziyang, Chu Xiuhuang lifted an eyebrow, waved his big hand at her and then waved at the female teacher as well, before turning around and leaving in style. The female teachers gaze followed his enchanting departing figure, almost forgetting to continue the class. Fu Ziyang looked at his confused teacher and turned to whisper to Luoluo, Luoluo, when did Uncle Chu become your dad? Little Luoluo rocked her little head, I dont know. After all, the mysterious uncle had suddenly become her dad, Huanhuan even became her mom, Little Luoluo is still bewildered to this day. Fu Ziyang blinked his big eyes, suddenly his little mouth curved into a smile, Thats actually quite good. Quite good? Little Luoluo looked at her desk-mate, continuing to be puzzled. ** At half-past four, kindergarten was over. The weekend would come in two days. Outside the school gate, Little Luoluo was quickly picked up by Pu Lei driving a car, Fu Ziyang waited alone for a while. He didnt wait for Uncle Yang to come, instead Uncle Huo came. A bit past five, Huo Jingshen drove back to the X District mansion. The garage already had a familiar small red car parked in it. Aunties car! Fu Ziyang instantly called out. Huo Jingshens eyebrows twitched, Mmm. Ever since this girl started her internship at the TV station, she drove this small car back and forth every day, like she didnt need him, her husband, at all. ** Grandma, this strawberry is so delicious! In the living room, Su Wanwan sat eating the delicious Dandong strawberries, praising them as she nibbled. Next to her sat Fu Qi, who was definitely more reserved. Actually, she initially didnt want to come for dinner, but Grandma Huo kept calling her, inviting her warmly. She was a kind elderly lady and even helped her find a job, so it was indeed a bit hard for Fu Qi to refuse her. Is it delicious? Grandma Huo asked with a smile, If its delicious, take some more back home later. Thank you, Grandma. Whats there to thank? This is your home, too. Grandma Huo looked to Fu Qi, Miss Fu, dont be so polite. Just treat this place as your own home. Thank you, Grandma Huo. Fu Qi graciously thanked her. Grandma Huo chuckled and turned around, Ill go check on the fish soup in the kitchen. Just as she took a few steps, Oh my, Ashen and Ziyang are here. Su Wanwan quickly turned around and called out in her sweet voice, Husband, husband, come quickly to eat the strawberries. Huo Jingshen walked up to her and raised his brow a notch. The little girl was looking at him with a lovely smile, her little hand high in the air, holding half a strawberry that had already been bitten. He slightly lowered his head, opened his thin lips, and took a bite of half the strawberry into his mouth. Grandpa Huo, who was peeking at them, stood up and walked straight into the study with his hands behind his back. This couple, always so lovey-dovey, gushing and showing affection whenever they are together. Its simply unbearable to watch! Fu Qi also: . Did they have to be like this? She knew it, every time she was around, Su Wanwan would intentionally, purposely show affection! She looked at Huo Jingshen, biting her red lips, her beautiful petite face full of resentment. Su Wanwan asked in a coquettish voice, Husband, is it sweet? Huo Jingshen hmmed, Sweet. Is the strawberry sweet, or am I sweet? Su Wanwan shamelessly asked. Huo Jingshen coughed twice. Speak up! Su Wanwan violently pinched him. Didnt you see Fu Qi is here? Arent you giving me face? Huo Jingshen coughed twice again, My darling is the sweetest. Su Wanwan immediately giggled, You sly fox, always sweet-talking! Huo Jingshen: Fu Qi: Finally, she couldnt stand it, stood up directly, Im going to make a call. And shes not going to the balcony. She went straight to the entrance hall, put on her shoes, and walked out of the villa. ** Disgusting! Creepy! Pretentious! Foxy! Shameless! As she scolded, she kept plucking the leaves from a holly tree. Fu Qi was infuriated. She had already made up her mind to give up on Brother Jingshen, but How could it be so easy to forget a relationship of ten years? This Su Wanwan, she was obviously doing it on purpose to annoy her Did this tree offend you? The sudden familiar male voice startled Fu Qi. When she turned around, she was even more shocked. Why are you back? Huo Nuanyang stood there, dressed in camouflage, wearing a hat of the same color, his dark eyes narrowed when he heard her words. This is my home, why cant I come back? Fu Qi: Huo Nuanyang continued to ask, Did this tree offend you? Fu Qi hurriedly let go of the leaves in her hand. She shouldnt have taken out her anger on this holly tree, but Whats it to you? Huo Nuanyang took off his hat and dusted it off, This tree, I planted it when I was a child. The one next to it was planted by my big brother. Fu Qi continued: If youre dissatisfied with my big brother, you should pluck that one. After saying that, Huo Nuanyang walked away. Fu Qi then looked at the tree next to hers A towering poplar. Uh. Its too tall, shes only 1.65 meters, how could she pluck those leaves? In a fit of anger, Fu Qi plucked a few more leaves from the holly tree. ** Upon her return, the living room was filled with laughter and chatter. Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan were sitting together affectionately, next to them was Fu Ziyang, and next to him was Huo Nuanyang. A lively cartoon was playing on the TV, and the tantalizing smell of food wafted from the kitchen. The whole room was full of joy, but Fu Qi felt out of place. If it wasnt for her big brother saying he was going to come back to Nancheng to develop his career and asking her not to go back to the United Kingdom for now, she wouldnt want to stay in Nancheng at all! She was a stranger here, plus theres this annoying woman Fu Qi, where did you go just now? the annoying woman suddenly spoke. Fu Qi glanced at Su Wanwan. Because Huo Jingshen was sitting next to her, although she didnt want to deal with her, she still answered simply, I made a call. Made a call? Su Wanwan laughed and picked up a pink mobile phone, You didnt even take your mobile phone, how did you make a call? Using brainwaves? Fu Qi was stunned. She reached into her pocket again. Indeed, her pocket was empty. She quickly walked over, snatched the phone back, and asked angrily, Who let you touch my phone? You have no manners? I didnt want to touch it, but it kept ringing and was so annoying. By the way, a man named Zhang called you to arrange to see a movie with you tomorrow afternoon. He said its a romance movie and asked you to return his WeChat message immediately when you come back. Fu Qis face flushed with embarrassment and anger, You answered my call? Who let you answer my call? My husband let me. Fu Qi was stunned. Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: 678, the gossiping old Mrs. Huo Chapter 678: 678, the gossiping old Mrs. Huo Are you feeling shy? Su Wanwan asked with a smile. Whats there to feel embarrassed about? Its a good thing to have men chasing after you. Dont tell me youre still pining for my husband? Have you forgotten about the picture I sent last time? Do you want me to send it again to jog your memory? You Fu Qi, unable to contain her anger anymore, turned to Huo Jingshen and cried, Brother Jingshen! Look at her! Shes crossed the line! Unfazed, Huo Jingshen looked up and said, It was indeed me who asked your sister-in-law to answer the phone. Fu Qi: Too noisy! Fu Qi again: ** Soon, dinner started. Huo Nuanyang had come home to get a document and would have to return to the team right after dinner. It had been two months since he was last home and the old lady missed him terribly. During dinner, the elderly lady kept constantly serving food to him and Fu Ziyang, while Huo Jingshen was busy serving food to Su Wanwan. Fu Qi ate her meal silently, keeping her eyes on her plate. Following this, the elderly lady asked, Miss Fu, why arent you eating? Startled, Fu Qi quickly replied, I Im on a diet. On a diet? The elderly lady turned her curious gaze to Fu Qi. I think you need to gain weight, not lose it. Fu Qi: Then the elderly lady set her eyes on Su Wanwan, Wanwan is just right nice. Su Wanwan was also speechless: Grandma, can you be less direct with your views? So awkward! The elderly gentleman coughed twice to interrupt, Always with your chatter! The old lady was still chuckling. Ashen, dont you think Im right? Huo Jingshen also couched twice, picked up his chopsticks and filled the old ladys bowl with a heap of spinach. Grandma, you should eat more spinach. And worry less. The old lady: ** After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. The servants brought in fruits and tea following the meal. As everyone was enjoying their time, a voice was heard from the entrance. Old Huo, Ive brought my great-granddaughter! The voice of old Mr. Chu carried a distinct smugness. After feeling stifled for so many years, he could finally hold his head high. In the past, whenever anyone mentioned his great-grandson, Chu Dongge, the comments were Good-for-nothing! Spoilt brat! Playboy! Hitting on every pretty girl! Ladykiller! and so on. Now he wanted everyone to know that Ahuang was outstanding and all the seductive vixens in the past were nothing more than distractions! Actually, Ahuang had already settled the major matter of his life five years ago; he now even had a five-year-old child! Not only capable! But also very beautiful! Old Mr. Huo adjusted his reading glasses, only to be completely stunned at the sight of the beautiful little girl in old Mr. Chus hands. The old lady was equally surprised, Old Chu, isnt this isnt this Luoluo? Yes, Luoluo is my great-granddaughter! You guys had no idea, right? Hahaha. Old Mr. Chu laughed heartily, waving his hand, Ahuang, quickly, introduce her to your grandfather and grandmother. Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat seriously, Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, big brother, sister-in-law, good evening. Everyone else: As my grandfather said, Luoluo is my biological daughter, Huanhuan is her biological mother, and we became a family six years ago. He wasnt wrong about that! Following this On April 8th, our Chu family will host a grand banquet at the Huashang Restaurant to legally acknowledge Luoluo as part of the family. From then on, she will be known as Chu Luoluo, though we will still call her Luoluo for short. As for my wedding Chu Xiuhuang smirked, it will take place on May 20th. Its 520 C meaning, I, love, you. Except for Su Wanwan, everyone else couldnt bear the cheesiness. Especially the two old folks. It was an unprecedented shock for them. Finally, when old Mr. Chu finished showing off and decided to bring Chu Xiuhuang and little Luoluo to Wang, the Commissioner next door, to continue his boastful streak, the old lady slapped Huo Jingshens shoulder the moment he stepped away. Everyone said youre better than Ahuang! Didnt expect he is a father of a school-aged child; but wheres yours? Su Wanwan: The others also: As for Huo Jingshen Grandma, Wanwan is still young, she herself is still a kid. Su Wanwan quietly lowered her head. The secretary was only twenty-four this year, which means she had a child when she was only nineteen! And now, shes still a top secretary, a successful woman! The more Old Lady Huo said, the more sour she sounded, This old Chu, wouldnt he be lifting his tail into the sky now! I bet the whole courtyard knows he has a great-granddaughter tonight! Su Wanwan continued to offer silence: Fortunately, Huo Nuanyang came downstairs from the second floor, holding a folder, Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother, Im going back to Squad X first. Drive carefully on the road. After Old Lady Huo finished speaking, she turned to Fu Qi, Miss Fu, would you like Nuanyang to give you a lift? Fu Qi quickly shook her head, No need, Ill take a taxi later. She didnt like this annoying man. Pulling off a few leaves from his holly bush was enough to irritate her, so she surely wouldnt ride in his car. Plus, his car was a high-clearance off-road vehicle which was inconvenient in her long dress. How can we allow our guest to take a taxi? You are a young lady and you look so beautiful. Taking a ride-hailing car is particularly unsafe now. Ashen is staying here with Wanwan, so he cant send you home. How about this Old Lady Huo ordered, Let Nuanyang be responsible for sending you. Nuanyang, you must personally watch Miss Fu enter the Imperial Court villa before you can leave, understand? Huo Nuanyang didnt show any unusual emotions and agreed directly, Okay. Fu Qi didnt want to insist anymore, but She picked up her bag and couldnt help asking Fu Ziyang, Ziyang, arent you going to go back with Auntie? Fu Ziyang immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, No way! Fu Qi: That kid. After the two of them left, Old Lady Huo glanced at Su Wanwan who was watching TV on the sofa, and Huo Jingshen who was sitting next to her. Um, Yunxiu, come upstairs with me and help me tidy up the rooms of Ahshen and Ziyang. Huo Jingshen glanced at Old Lady Huo. Su Wanwan didnt think much, No need, Granny, well clean up later. Its okay, I ate too much for dinner just now. Its a good opportunity to move around. ** Arriving upstairs, Old Lady Huo directly pulled the maid into Huo Jingshens room and closed the door, Quickly help me find if there are any condoms, or something. If you find any, give them all to me. Maid: Ten minutes later, Old Lady Huo left with two boxes of trophies. The maid, while changing the bed sheets and quilt cover, couldnt help complaining in her heart. This old woman, in order to hug her great-grandson as soon as possible, is really working hard and doing everything she can. She even came up with this plan! Suddenly, the door was opened again, and the maids heart stopped in fright. All she saw was Old Lady Huo creep in, pull open the wardrobe door, and rummage through Su Wanwans sleeping clothes. Madam, what are you doing? Oh, the clothes have been sitting too long. Ill help Wanwan wash them. After saying this, Old Lady Huo quickly left with the sleepwear. Maid, once more: ** An hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen returned to their upstairs bedroom. Initially, she wanted to find her sleeping clothes to take a bath, but Husband, where did all my sleepwear go? Huo Jingshen took a glance, Then dont wear them. Su Wanwan: After thinking, she took one of Huo Jingshens oversized T-shirts, Ill wear yours. After her bath, Su Wanwan comfortably lay on the bed. The journalism department is currently preparing for a graduation field trip for the second half of the third year. According to tradition, they usually choose cities in the south, such as Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi with beautiful scenery and a comfortable climate. In the last semester, the teacher had mentioned that the field trip was planned for Sanya, but somehow it had been suddenly changed to a forest scenic spot in the northeast. Su Wanwan was looking up information related to the scenic spot on Baidu, when suddenly footsteps were heard, followed by a click, and the light was turned off. The entire bedroom plunged into total darkness in an instant. Soon, the phone she was holding was also taken away. Baby, wheres the condom? Su Wanwan was startled, How would I know? Huo Jingshen turned on the bedside lamp. The door of the bedside cabinet next to him was already opened, and what was originally inside was all gone. He quickly got up, stretched out his long arm, and opened the door of the bedside cabinet on the other side. Nothing! Huo Jingshens brow furrowed in an instant, and he got up to look for it. The next second. Baby, wheres all the stock I had in the cabinet? Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: 679, helping my husband shave his beard Chapter 679: 679, helping my husband shave his beard Su Wanwan turned around, picked up her phone, and continued to review some documents. How would I know? He had always been the one to prepare these items. Not to mention in the car, every room in the house, including the kitchen, had them all stored by him. Although they didnt spend much time in the old Huo family house, he made sure to store them regularly in the bedroom. Regarding the decision not to have children temporarily, despite the Huo family elders eagerness, the couple maintained a united front. The room fell into a deathly silence. Seeing Huo Jingshens dark face, Su Wanwan couldnt help but laugh, Great, time to sleep! Darling. Darling Its useless even if you call out for your ancestors! Su Wanwan finally spoke, turned off the light and said, Go to sleep! Huo Jingshen: In the darkness. The man was silent for a few seconds. Just when Su Wanwan thought he would finally calm down, Huo Jingshen suddenly hugged her again. What on earth do you want? Im telling you, if this continues, Ill go downstairs and sleep at home right now! After some back and forth, Su Wanwan was getting impatient. What are you thinking? Huo Jingshen spoke with a righteous tone, Is there nothing else in your head besides those matters all day? Arent you ashamed, as a young girl? So, is it wrong for your husband to hug you now, eh? Su Wanwan: She was speechless. Because he had annoyed her. He was the one blatantly hinting at something, but in the end, he pushed the blame onto her? Not talking now? Huo Jingshen seemed addicted to this, he pinched her chin and hinted, If youre screaming and yelling, your husband has ways to discipline you! Su Wanwan again: Forget it! She closed her eyes; if he wanted to hug, let him hug. * * Fortunately, there were no incidents during the night. The next morning, after finishing her sword dance practice, Madam Huo returned home. Madam, breakfast is ready. Madam Huo asked, Are Ashen and Wanwan up yet? The maid said, I dont think so, I didnt see them come downstairs. Really? Madam Huo immediately covered her mouth and giggled. It seems like this couple had a busy night. Previously, every time they couldnt wake up in the morning, it was because they had been too active the night before! It seems that her trick yesterday worked well. She confiscated the daughter-in-laws pajamas, so she could only wear Ashens clothes. Its said that women wearing mens clothes have a unique charm. Ashen must have been stimulated so much by her. My, its too good, simply too good! The maid observed Madam Huo, feeling as though crows were cawing above her head. Madam, your laughter is somewhat lecherous. * * Madam Huo directly went upstairs with her sword. However, on passing through the corridor, she saw Huo Jingshens room door was wide open. Upon closer inspection, there was no one on the bed. Huh. Werent they still sleeping? Where are they? Where did they go? Just as she deviously planned to sneak in and take a look, suddenly, she heard Su Wanwans voice come from the bathroom. Ah, stop moving around! Huo Jingshen chuckled, Why are you so nervous, darling? Madam Huo immediately brightened up, quickly stifling her laughter, and tiptoed away. This couple really knows how to play. They still didnt get up early in the morning, and even went into the bathroom, the advantages of being young. As for inside the bathroom. Su Wanwan was sitting on the cabinet next to the washbasin, while Huo Jingshen was standing in front of her, slightly bending. Both individuals were about the same height. Su Wanwan had a razor in her hand, which she was using to very carefully shave her husbands beard! She was dressed in nothing but a mans large, loose black T-shirt which accentuated her rosy cheeks and dazzling pearly white teeth. She was adorable and vivacious, with her long wavy hair tied back into a casual ponytail. She appeared carefree and relaxed in the morning aura. Huo Jingshen, on the other hand, was neatly dressed and looked refreshing and upright. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up a bit. He leaned in slightly with his tall, statuesque figure, and spoke in a deep, steady tone, Just a short shave and youre complaining about your hand hurting? With her eyebrows furrowed, Su Wanwan said, You stop talking! Whats the matter? With the way your mouth keeps moving, I might accidentally nick your lips with the razor! She had never shaved a mans beard before. But this razor was extremely sharp, and Huo Jingshen was either talking or moving around. She was truly afraid she might accidentally scar his handsome face. Huo Jingle was still laughing. Su Wanwan immediately puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, Stop laughing! Shut your mouth! If you keep talking, I wont shave for you anymore! Huo Jingshen chuckled, but finally quieted down, maintaining his posture as she shaved him. His deep, dark eyes never left her beautiful face. His gaze was intense yet deeply gentle. By the time Su Wanwan had finished shaving his light stubble, she was as tired as if she had just completed a marathon. Watching Huo Jingshen washing and meticulously applying a mint-flavored aftershave, Su Wanwan said, Okay, thats it. Im going downstairs to eat. Havin said that, she attempted to head downstairs. A hint of amusement spread across the handsome mans face. Would you like to go to a movie today? I heard Two Lives Flower is a great love story. The rare weekend should be about nurturing the relationship. Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow, Dont you have social engagements today? You are leaving for an internship over the weekend, so your husband has decided to spend the weekend with you, Huo Jingshen promptly explained. Su Wanwan managed to say Oh, but suddenly Wait, how did you know I was going on an internship? Huo Jingshen: Su Wanwan eyed him suspiciously, I dont think I told you, did I? Huo Jingshen, carrying her in his arms, turning around, said, In that case, we can go shopping for travel necessities after the movie. Su Wanwan: Why did it appear as though something wasnt quite right? But After breakfast, Su Wanwan immediately called Mo Weiyi, Weiyi, you mentioned a few days ago that you were interested in watching Two Lives Flower, right? Were planning to go see it now. Would you be interested in inviting your Xiao to join us? We can have a sweet double date? She expected Weiyi to agree immediately, but surprisingly Wanwan, Im unable to make it these next few days. My mentor has handed me a ton of material to review, as well as two cases to analyze. Theyre due on Monday. Alright then. * * * Lishui Bay Villa. The lounge on the first floor was currently being occupied by Mo Weiyi. After hanging up the phone, she continued to look at the case materials on her computer. Lu Chenyu mentioned that he was considering training her to be a civil litigation lawyer. As a result, he assigned two cases to her that she had to finish researching over the weekend, and she would need to submit two sets of proposed plans to him by Monday. Whining, she felt daunted by the task. For this case involving property disputes, she almost fell dizzy just trying to understand the familial relationships. Knock Knock Knock. Someone knocked a few times on the door, then pushed it open. The tall and aloof man entered the room. Xiao Yebai watched her. She was sitting seriously behind the desk, wearing red light-blocking glasses, her dark waves of hair spilling over her shoulders. She looked languid yet casual. Your auntie is here. Hearing these words, Mo Weiyi blinked, raising her head from the computer screen, My auntie? Whats she here for? I dont know. Mo Weiyi pouted, But I still have to read the case. She had never dealt with a real case before, and moreover, this was a case assigned to her by Lu Chenyu. Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and casually said, Then Ill ask her to leave. Erm After all, Xu Jing was her elder. Oh well. Mo Weiyi had to get up from her seat, removing her glasses, Is she alone? Yes. Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: 680, Xiaobai looks really good when laughing Chapter 680: 680, Xiaobai looks really good when laughing Living room. Xu Jing is sitting on the sofa with a cup of flower tea in front of her. Shes wearing a lotus-colored blouse with black trousers, and a light gray cardigan. Her pretty face had no makeup but was near wrinkle-free due to good skincare. At first glance, it wouldnt be unreasonable to say she was in her early thirties. Seeing Mo Weiyi, she immediately stood up, Yiyi, Im sorry, I hope I didnt disturb you? Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, moving to sit on a nearby sofa, Xiaoyi, did you need something from me? No, not at all. Xu Jing gave a gentle smile, I just got back from your grandmothers place, and I brought some fresh fruit for you. Thank you, Xiaoyi. Mo Weiyi politely thanked her, but you dont have to go through all this trouble next time, just call Aunt Zhou and have her pick it up. It will save you the trouble. Its no trouble at all. I havent been here before, and I was planning on going to the group for a meeting. So I thought Id drop by and bring the fruit over. Oh. A maid approached and poured a cup of flower tea for Mo Weiyi. Xu Jing watched as Mo Weiyi lifted the cup to her lips and took a graceful sip. The young and beautiful girl with loose curls wore a goose-yellow home dress. Her disposition was all languid and casual. But due to her delicate features, her every glance revealed a hidden arrogance; she exuded the aura of an on-high princess. Actually, Mo Weiyi didnt look much like Xu Xian. The women in the Xu family tended to be gentle in appearance. She, the elder Mrs. Xu, Xu Xian, even Qu Yunyaoall had the same willowy eyebrows and almond eyes, giving them a fresh charm. Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, possessed tantalizing cat-like eyes. When she smiled, she was sweet and enchanting. But when she was serious, she looked cold and authoritative. Despite all this, she was still just a twenty-year-old girl. A spoiled girl at that. Xiaoyi, you must have something more to say to me, right? Xu Jing brought her thoughts back, keeping her face neutral, Mmm, I noticed your hand was injured some time back. Is it healed now? Its all healed. Xu Jing nodded, Actually the reason I came was to discuss your mothers birthday with you. She stated, Her 66th birthday falls on the 8th this month. In the past few years, every time her birthday came around, I was in America. But now that Im back in Nancheng, I want to throw her a grand birthday party. However, she refused, saying its too much trouble. Yiyi, you are her favorite granddaughter, can you convince her? Mo Weiyi immediately agreed, Sure. Sixty-six was indeed a big birthday. The elderly do care about auspicious numbers. The 8th just happened to fall on next Saturday, and she wouldnt have to go to the law firm. But my fathers leg hasnt healed yet, so how about thisIll discuss it with Uncle Shi, and have him find a hotel That would be too much trouble! Ill handle it, Xu Jing interrupted. Mo Weiyi laughed, Xiaoyi, theres no need for you to be polite. Ill ask Uncle Shi to arrange it. Alright then, Xu Jing didnt insist. I just feel that I havent celebrated a birthday with your grandmother for years now. As she ages, we have fewer years together. Its been a long time since the relatives of the Xu family gathered, I just want both families to have a meal together, nothing too grand. Mo Weiyi nodded, I understand. Yiyi, thank you. Xu Jing thanked her. No problem. Mo Weiyi smiled sweetly, Actually, I celebrate grandmothers birthday with her every year. Oh. Xu Jings face showed a trace of awkwardness. At this moment, hastened footsteps were heard from the entrance, followed by, Miss Xu. Mo Weiyi lifted her gaze. The driver, Xiaoli, rushed in from outside, a bag in his hand. He looked flustered as he glanced at Xu Jing, wanting to say something but hesitating. Xiaoli, what brings you here? asked Mo Weiyi. Xiaoli promptly raised the bag he was holding, Princess, the boss asked me to bring you some fruit. Mo Weiyi: More fruit? Why was everyone bringing her fruit one after another? Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief under his breath. The little princess didnt seem upsetshe probably didnt know anything. Princess, Ill be taking my leave now. Alright. Xiaoli then turned to Xu Jing, Miss Xu, do you want me to give you a ride? Alright. Surprisingly, Xu Jing didnt decline. Mo Weiyi watched these two, her brow furrowing slightly. Why did she feel this was somehow odd? She immediately asked, Xiaoli, do you know where Xiaoyi is headed? Xiaoli paused, then quickly caught on, Princess, Im not in a rush to go back. I can afford to give Miss Xu a ride. Really? Mo Weiyi still felt like something was off. Xu Jing grabbed her bag, Yiyi, Im going now. Alright. Once the two left, she returned to the study room. Xiao Yebai was sitting behind the desk, his gaze fixed on the computer screen. Xiaobai. Xiao Yebai looked up, They are gone? Yes. Mo Weiyi went to him, directly sat on his lap, lifted her chin, kissed his handsome jawbone, then said, She wants to throw a birthday party for grandmother, get the two families together, and also invite some of grandmothers old friends. Oh. Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, without any particular emotion. Xiaobai, are you busy? After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she looked at the screen. She saw that the case on the screen is what she had just been studying. Ah! Mo Weiyi quickly covered the computer screen, Why are you peeking at my homework! Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes behind the glasses glowing attractively and deeply, Cant I? Mo Weiyi: Its not like he cant look. She was just shy about it. Because this was her first time dealing with such a case, a property dispute, she hadnt fully understood it yet, so the solution she wrote was just a rough draft, and she felt it was very amateurish. She was embarrassed that he, a business elite, would see such amateurish work. She simply closed the notebook, spoke in a soft and coquettish voice, Awe, move over, this is my spot. Xiao Yebai looked at her slightly red face, a corner of his lips slightly hooked up, Yours? Mo Weiyi nodded. Xiao Yebais gaze still stayed on her face, unwavering and relaxed, But youre sitting on my leg. Mo Weiyi was stunned for a moment. Seeing his rare teasing expression, she huffed angrily, Got a problem? This spot is mine, and so is your leg! Only I can sit! Understand? Xiao Yebai even smiled openly this time. It was a very obvious smile. Mo Weiyi stared at him, then suddenly began daydreaming, Xiaobai, youre really handsome when you smile! She even removed his spectacles from his nose, Youre even more handsome without glasses! Her husband was usually very indifferent and bookish, not much of a talker, let alone a smiler. But in reality, when he smiles, hes really handsome and seems very gentle, Mo Weiyi couldnt help but fantasize, who knows Get up, dont you have homework due on Monday? I know. Mo Weiyi pouted her lips, reluctantly slid off him. Xiao Yebai got up and sat down on the opposite side. He switched on the computer, didnt wear his glasses, and started working. Mo Weiyi glanced at him, turned on her own computer, put on her own eyeglasses, and also started working seriously. ** As for what happened in the Audi. Xiaoli was driving in the front while Xu Jing sat in the back, the car was quiet until the ringtone of a phone started playing. Xu Jing took out her phone, looked at the caller ID and answered, Brother-in-law, did you need something? Xiaoli immediately glanced at the rearview mirror. Mo Yaoxiong questioned on the phone, Did you go to see Weiyi? Yeah, I brought her some fruits and discussed with her about mothers birthday party. Just that? Xu Jing curved her lips, her voice as gentle as ever, Yes, Brother-in-law, I promised you, I wont tell Weiyi about my pregnancy. And besides, I have already agreed to have an abortion, what else are you worried about? Xu Jing, you know the consequences of defying me. I know. Xu Jing continued to smile, Brother-in-law, I knew that more than twenty years ago. Otherwise, I wouldnt have told you about my pregnancy, let alone agree to have the surgery. I hope so. After saying this, the call ended. Xu Jing slowly put down the phone, turned her head to look out the window, a bizarre smile hanging at the corner of her mouth. ** After dropping off Xu Jing, Xiaoli drove back to the old Mo family mansion. After parking the car, he went directly to Mo Yaoxiongs villa. Mo Yaoxiong was sitting on the living room couch, with a cast on his left leg, looking serious and tense. Madam Zhou, you can leave first. Yes, sir. Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: 681, Has Lawyer Lu been charmed by the Little Princess? Chapter 681: 681, Has Lawyer Lu been charmed by the Little Princess? When Aunt Zhou left, Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xiaoli, Whats going on? Xiaoli quickly explained, Sir, Ms. Xu drove back from the south of the city by herself. As soon as I found out, I immediately went to her. Little Princess seemed normal, she probably doesnt know about this yet. What did the hospital say? Ive already asked, the gynecologist said that Ms. Xu is older and considered a high-risk pregnant woman. Shes also not in good health, so they suggested it would be best not to abort, as it could be dangerous. When is the surgery? The surgery is scheduled for next Sunday, 9th April, which is the day after Ms. Xus birthday. Mo Yaoxiong did not say anything more. Xiaoli stood by the side, not daring to say a word. The living room was so quiet it was frightening, with only the sound of the antique clock ticking on the wall. Who knows how long it has been. Keep an eye on Xu Jing, anything happens, let me know immediately. Okay. You can leave. Okay. After Xiaoli left, only Mo Yaoxiong was left in the living room. He sat there, exhausted, resting his head back on the sofa and closing his eyes. Xu Jing, you mustnt blame me. You are Xu Xians sister, Weiyis only aunt, the child in your belly, really cannot be kept! ** Monday, at Yurui Law Firm. To avoid being nitpicked by Lu Chenyu again, Mo Weiyi especially chose a navy blue business outfit today. The top was long-sleeved, and the hem of her skirt reached her knees, quite conservative. After arriving at the office at 9 oclock, she began to carefully check her weekend assignment again to ensure no typos. At 10 oclock, Lu Chenyu arrived at work on time with his briefcase. Wearing a suit and leather shoes, glasses on, eyes straight ahead, serious and business-like. Mo Weiyi immediately sent her assignment to his mailbox and printed another copy, waiting for a face-to-face discussion with her master. As expected, not long after, the landline on the desk rang. Old Wang next to her immediately looked over. His eyes filled with envy and jealousy. Has Lawyer Lu been bewitched by the beauty of the Little Princess? Starting from last Friday, he has been actively assigning her work, even giving her weekend assignments. Today, Monday, he called her as soon as he got to the office. Is he grooming the Little Princess? This was something that had never happened before. Forget about grooming, from start to finish, he, Old Wang, was the only assistant to Lawyer Lu. But now Sigh. Turns out Lawyer Lu is also just an ordinary man, unable to resist the allure of a womans beauty. All these years, he really has been blind, oh how he has been blind Mo Weiyi knew nothing of Old Wangs internal monologue. She quickly picked up the phone, greeting effervescently, Hello, Master. Silence met her on the other end. Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, Master? Hello? Can you hear me? Still, no one spoke. Could it be someone other than Lu Chenyu? Or Is the phone broken? Finally. Didnt HR teach you how to answer the phone? Mo Weiyi was taken aback, before she could speak Bring your assignment, come to my office. Okay. Before she could finish the Okay, the call was already cut off. Seems like hes in a bad mood? Mo Weiyi didnt think much about it, she got up with her printed assignment and headed to Lu Chenyus office. The door wasnt closed, so she walked right in, Master, this is my case analysis plan. Lu Chenyu sat behind his black desk. Hearing her, he raised his melancholic eyes, Dont you know how to knock? Master, your door was open, besides, werent you the one who asked me to come here? I thought you were in a rush to see me, so I came right in. Having said that, Mo Weiyi looked at him with an innocent and uneasy expression, You werent doing anything inconvenient, were you? Lu Chenyu: He couldnt help but raise his hand to rub at his throbbing temples. Headache! Can someone come and take this donkey away? The office fell into silence. Mo Weiyi stood there, unable to resist opening her mouth again, Master, this is my Knock, knock, knock. The sound of knocking suddenly interrupts. Mo Weiyi turned around and saw the director of the HR department standing at the door. Mr. Lu. Lu Chenyu lowered his finger, Come in. Mo Weiyi: Even with the door open, she had to knock formally? As expected, Lu Chenyu asked, Have you learned it? Mo Weiyi quickly nodded obediently, Yes, I have. Next. Dont the interns and new employees get orientation training these days? Director Wang immediately replied, Yes, they do. Then why? Lu Chenyu tilted his head, looking at Mo Weiyi, Why doesnt Miss Mo know how to answer the phone in a professional manner? Mo Weiyi was startled. Director Wang too was startled. This basic knowledge was in the firms rules and regulations, and she had already taught Mo Weiyi briefly on her first day as an intern. But now, all she could do was admit her mistake, Im sorry, its my oversight. Now, immediately, teach her. Lu Chenyu narrowed his black eyes, stressing each word, intimidatingly. Director Wang felt immense pressure and promptly started on-site training,First, you must answer immediately after two rings to ensure clients dont think there is no one in the office, delaying any business or collaboration. Mo Weiyi nodded. She did that right! Second, after connecting the call, you should greet the other party and state the company or departments name, such as, Hello, this is Yurui Law Firm. You should never say Hello directly, and never address someone as you, as it could be deemed as impolite. Mo Weiyi: I see. Okay, she would correct that next time. Third, prepare a pen and paper in advance, to make necessary notes. Fourth, hold the handset in your left hand and the pen in your right Like so, blabbing on and on, about eight or nine points about how to answer a phone call, until she finished. Did you remember everything? Lu Chenyu asked. Mo Weiyi could only nod, I remembered. Did you learn it? Mo Weiyi continued to nod, I learned it. Lu Chenyu seemed satisfied, You can leave first. Alright. Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, thank god for her strong business ability, she could rattle off eight or nine points impromptu. Lets discuss the analysis proposal you sent me. Upon hearing these words, Mo Weiyi immediately stood erect, ready to listen attentively. And then What did you write here? Its in shambles, with zero logic, in a mess, without any practical suggestions, you cant even string together basic sentences! You had two complex cases and took two days to churn out this analysis of fewer than 500 words? Are you trying to mock me or the client? Mo Weiyi: He threw the two pieces of paper on the table, and Lu Chenyu continued his blistering assault, I am suspecting that you havent attended a single class in your three years of university. Where do you get the nerve to apply for an internship? Mo Weiyi answered very truthfully, Its true I didnt attend classes in my freshman and sophomore years, but I did attend the last two months of classes in first semester of junior year. As for the internship, didnt you approve of it, Master? Now it was Lu Chenyus turn to, His right fist clenched tightly. As if grasping hard on someones throat. Master, I have really been working very hard. Mo Weiyi started to pout and whimper, I looked up a lot of information and worked in the study all weekend. My eyes have blurred and I didnt go out at all, not even to see the newest movies. I wrote these 500 words by thinking independently, even my hubby praised me for being serious. Lu Chenyu lowered his head, feeling a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples with one hand and waved his other hand quickly, Get out, get out! Mo Weiyi Okay. ** Back in her office, not long after, With a thud, a huge pile of stuff was placed on the table. Before leaving work today, bind these files. Old Wang asked, Do you know how to do binding? Mo Weiyi shook her head. Ill teach you. Old Wang was about to pick up the clips. No need, I cant do this, find someone else. Mo Weiyi didnt hold back. Old Wang kept a straight face, But this is the job Mr. Lu has assigned to you. Mo Weiyi made a face, Really? Of course. Old Wang felt extremely pleased, Mr. Lu said that having you analyze cases is really too difficult for you, lets start with small tasks like binding files and threading. Mo Weiyi: Old Wang straightaway picked up the clip and started his lecture, First, clip the files with the clip, put some waste paper underneath, use the hole punch to punch holes in the file, making sure the distance between the holes Finally, when she learned how to do it, with Old Wangs guidance, she finished binding the first file, Old Wang spoke again, Mr. Lu said, if you dont finish binding all these files, youre not allowed to go off work. Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: 682, cant provoke the boss Chapter 682: 682, cant provoke the boss That much? Old Wang nodded his head, feeling utterly aloof, and went back to work. He declared that he is retracting his previous misunderstandings about Lawyer Lu. Indeed, Lu is like a immortal being who does not waver in front of beauty! As for Mo Weiyi, with a bitter face, he began to do tough labor. The hole puncher was so heavy, the newspapers were so heavy, threading the strings was so boring, even his fingers were feeling sore. Thus, the whole morning passed. When it was time for lunch, Mo Weiyi felt released. He dumped the stuff and rushed out of the office. * * Downstairs. As soon as Rong An saw princess come out of the elevator, he immediately stood up and followed. Princess, where do you want to eat today? Usually they would drive to a fancy restaurant, sit in a VIP booth, finish lunch, and then lie down for an hour for a siesta before returning. Who knew, as soon as they stepped out of the law firm, Mo Weiyi turned left. He walked fast, puffing out his little face as if he was unhappy about something. Rong An frowned, Princess, where are you going? Mo Weiyi said, Any restaurant is fine, I have to go back to work after eating. Oh. Lets just eat at this place. Mo Weiyi pointed randomly. Rong An took a look. The usually calm look on his face was replaced by a stunned one. Was this a fast food restaurant? Had the princess changed her mind? She wanted to eat lunch at a fast food restaurant? * * Upon entering the restaurant, it was indeed crowded. All the people were office workers from nearby places, men and women alike. The place was noisy and bustling just like a big food stall. Rong An looked around and couldnt find a seat. A waiter asked, There are two of you? Yes. Do you mind sharing a table? Sharing a table too? Rong An couldnt help but frown again. He actually asked the princess, who always sat in VIP booths, to share a table? How could that be possible? The next second. Alright. Rong An: Was the princess intending to join the mortals? So, the waiter brought them winding through to the back of the shop, arranged two seats next to two men, Sit here. The two men looked up at the sound, and when they saw Mo Weiyis pretty face, their eyes were instantly filled with amazement. Rong An immediately stepped forward. Muscular and expressionless, dressed in black, his gaze was cool and carried an invisible warning and pressure. The two men quickly looked away. Tough guy! Tough guy! They did not dare to offend him. Mo Weiyi didnt care, she sat down straight away, then frowned her delicate brows. Rong An immediately called out, Waitress, please wipe the table. The table should have just been vacated, as there were leftovers from two meals, with residues of soup splashed everywhere and used tissues nearby. Looking at Mo Weiyis disgusted expression, he couldnt understand what kind of blow the princess had received. She actually chose to have lunch in a place like this? Not only was it narrow and dirty, the food looked average, and they had to share a table with others! He couldnt help but suggest again, Shall we switch to another place? No need, I still have a lot of work to do, and if I cant finish, Ill have to work overtime tonight! Rong An: Alright. He casually ordered two set meals. As soon as the meals arrived, Mo Weiyi took out her mobile phone, ate while complaining to Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan naturally comforted her. Ever since her best friend started interning at the law firm, she called her almost every day to complain. Either she complained about how boring it was to go through documents, or she complained about Lu Chenyu, and today it was about how tiring bindery work was In the end, Mo Weiyi seemed to come to her senses and asked about her best friends internship. By the way, how is your internship at the TV station going? Well, I dont have to intern this week. Why? I have to go out of town for an internship on the weekend, so I need to prepare at school for the next few days. Im so envious of you, you even get to go out and have fun. Mo Weiyi pouted. Suddenly, her internship at the law firm seemed so boring. Last week was mostly spent on reading materials, followed by printing, and today Im starting to bind them with thread. Its good to study journalism, the internship assessment is all about traveling, playing, and viewing scenery. Su Wanwan laughed, If all else fails, let your familys CEO Xiao set up a studio for you, work for yourself! Internships are just like this, actually, I also did menial tasks like pouring tea and doing chores every day at the TV station, its not much different from you. Alright then. Mo Weiyi could only sigh. She hung up the phone and tossed the chopsticks aside, This is too disgusting! Rong An: Im not going to eat anymore, Rong An, go buy me some chewing gum for me, I want strawberry flavor. Okay. The two men next to her had finished eating and left, so he got up to buy things confidently. Mo Weiyi sat there, picked up a napkin, just wiped her small mouth, and suddenly heard a click. Immediately after. Miss, sorry. Mo Weiyi looked up and saw a man who had somehow appeared at the table. I was trying to take a picture of the store decoration behind me just now, I didnt realize I had you in it too, but this photo turned out very beautiful, can I add you on WeChat? I will send you the photo. Mo Weiyi had a black line on her face. Then she began to size him up. He was tall, wearing a light-colored shirt, a plaid tie, and a black suit on the outside, he looked like a bank worker. He was quite handsome, with a good figure, but his eyes were a bit too white, giving off a gloomy impression. Even though he was smiling right now. Mo Weiyi curved her red lips and began to laugh brightly, Using this method to pick up girls, dont you think its a bit outdated? And She tilted her face slightly, I know Im very beautiful, and my photos are also beautiful, there are many other men who secretly take photos of me usually, so you dont need to send it to me, you can keep it for your own enjoyment. She lowered her head, but the man wouldnt leave. Miss, are you eating alone? Would you mind if I sit down? Youre so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend? Miss? Miss At first, Mo Weiyi didnt bother to respond, until she saw Rong An come back, she looked at the man, I dont have a boyfriend. The man had a somewhat evil smile, How can a beautiful lady like you not have a boyfriend? Is it because your standards are too high? No. Mo Weiyi rested her face on one hand, Because my boyfriend has long become my husband. The mans expression seemed somewhat surprised, Are you kidding? You look like youre only eighteen. Mo Weiyi: He really is slick. She raised her left hand and gave it a shake. The diamond ring instantly shone brilliantly. The man laughed, What does this prove? I also have a ring. He also raised his hand, indeed there was a simple mens ring on his finger. Miss, are you really not going to consider adding my WeChat? We can start as friends, I work nearby, Im twenty-six this year, Im one meter eighty-two tall, my surname is Quan Bang! A box of strawberry-flavored gum was suddenly placed on the table. The force was strong, the sound was loud. The man was stunned. Turning around, Rong An was standing aside, raising his jaw and looking at him coldly. No word was uttered. But the warning was clear. Mo Weiyi sweetly took the box of gum and got up at the same time, Lets go. The two slowly left. The man sat there, hooking his thin lips, his smile deepening. No wonder Ling Zhizhou has always hesitated to make a move. This Mo Weiyi is indeed very interesting. Very, very interesting. * * In the afternoon, when Mo Weiyi returned to the office and continued doing her exhausting work, Su Wanwan and several outstanding student representatives were called to the head teachers office. This time the internship field trip location is Jiangxin Island in Yuncheng. I believe you all have seen the introduction in the materials. This island is a natural island, surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it provides rare scenery in the northeast. Its also one of the industries that Huo Yuan Group has just invested in this year Su Wanwans eyebrows twitched. Huo Yuan Group? It is April now, the temperature difference on the small island will be large. Considering that many students will be looking for internships in May and June, the timing of the field trip has been advanced by two months, and everyone needs to pay attention to keeping warm After introducing the basic situation and precautions, Teacher Wang changed her tune, There are 40 students in our class participating in this field trip. The 8 of you outstanding representatives will lead another 4 people to form 8 groups for evaluation. After todays meeting, you should discuss the division of labor internally and report it to the class president Jian Shuhao tomorrow. Do you have questions about anything else? Zhao Qianqian asked, Teacher Wang, which teachers are going to accompany us? Will Teacher Di be there? Teacher Wang laughed, There will be four teachers accompanying you, of course, Teacher Di will also be there. Zhao Qianqians eyes lit up. Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: 683, someone is flattering my husband excessively! Chapter 683: 683, someone is flattering my husband excessively! The other few also raised their questions one by one. Finally. Teacher Wang looked at Su Wanwan, Su, dont you have any questions? Su Wanwan pursed her lips, thought for a bit, Teacher Wang, didnt we agree before that we were going to travel to Sanya? Why has the location suddenly changed? Teacher Wang chuckled, Because this location was suggested by the sponsor. Who is the sponsor then? Su Wanwan asked further. Teacher Wang continued to beam, Of course, itsHuo Yuan Group. Su Wanwan: She thought so, how had it suddenly switched from the sultry, lively Sanya to this deserted little island, and whats more, she hadnt mentioned this event, but someone had already known ahead of time, especially considering this little island is owned by the Huo Yuan Group. Ha, just as she had guessed. * * As they left the office, Zhao Qianqian quickly followed, Wanwan, whats your husband thinking, why arent we going to Sanya, but to this Jiangxin Island instead? Su Wanwan really didnt want to answer the question. I know! Zhao Qianqian grinned lewdly, Does he think you will wear a swimsuit in Sanya, like a bikini, showing off your good figure? Ah, with your sexy body, I reckon when you show up, all the male students in the news department will go crazy for you! Alas, what a shame, I wont get to see class president and Teacher Di in their sexy swim trunks Su Wanwan quickly pushed her away. Whats the matter? Didnt I tell the truth? The class president is our schools shining star, and Teacher Di is a heartthrob among the teachers. Ah, especially Teacher Dis figure, he must work out regularly. If he wears swim trunks, wow, definitely Ahem. Hearing the noise, Zhao Qianqian lifted her head and saw, her face immediately turningred. Teacher Di. Di Chenghe nodded, his face unchanged, and walked past them. Su Wanwan pressed the elevator button, and as soon as she did so, Zhao Qianqian, clutching her arm, began to screech, Damn it! Why didnt you warn me? I did warn you, but you were in your own world! Oh no, no, does Teacher Di think Im some kind of pervert now? Surely not, surely not? No. Really? He will just stay away from you a bit more. Zhao Qianqian: ** When they got to the lower floor, Zhao Qianqian asked, By the way, how is your group dividing the work? Su Wanwan said, One boy is in charge of the camera; of the other four, one is on-screen, one is writing, one is doing the voice-over, and one is coordinating. There are only ten boys in the class, eight groups, so on average each group has at least one boy. Thats fine. After all, only the boys can carry the camera. I mean, who will be on-screen in your group? Su Wanwan thought about it, Maybe Wu Ying. Youre not going to be on-screen? Youre so pretty! Zhao Qianqian was aggrieved for her friend, That Wu Ying, as I recall, used to be very friendly with Lin Qiao. At the time, she even wanted to catch you in an affair with him! But as soon as she found out you were Mrs. Huo, her demeanor changed dramatically. Now she flatters you all the time. And, oh, nowadays shes always sticking to Chu Shiwu! Tsk Tsk Tsk, honestly, Im embarrassed on her behalf, her face is really too thick. Do you think Chu Shiwu would like her or not? Speak of the devil and he will appear. Wanwan! Wanwan! Su Wanwan! The enthusiastic voice of Wu Ying rang out. She rushed over directly, Li Xiaolin by her side, both smiling, Thats great, were in a group with you, right? Su Wanwan nodded. So what are Li Xiaolin and I in charge of? Su Wanwan directly threw the question back at them, What do you two want to do? Wu Ying and Li Xiaolin were both a little embarrassed. Su Wanwan didnt say anything, just watched the two with a smile. Zhao Qianqian coughed twice, Wanwan, Ill go back to the dorm first. Go ahead. When Zhao Qianqian left, Wu Ying started, Wanwan, I dont think Xiaolin and I write very well, and we cant handle the equipment We want to do the voice-over and be the on-screen faces, can we? Ha ha. Su Wanwan smiled. The journalism departments field trip and paper grading are quite similar. After all, the final product is a finished work that can be used directly as a portfolio for job applications. Wu Ying wanted to show off, which was understandable. Su Wanwan nodded directly, Sounds good, then lets decide that way. You two decide who will be the voice-over and who will be on-screen and let me know. I! Ill be on-screen! Wu Ying immediately responded. Li Xiaolin could only say, Then Ill do the narration. Okay. Su Wanwan looked at the time, Is there anything else? Want to have dinner together tonight? My treat! No, I have to eat at home. Alright then, see you later, Wanwan. Goodbye. After Su Wanwan left, Li Xiaolin happily said, I didnt expect her to actually agree? Seems like Su Wanwan is a pretty decent person. Originally, she thought that since Su Wanwan was attractive, academically strong, and club leader, she would surely hog the spotlight. Prior to this, she had discouraged her friend from foolishly hoping, advising her to aim for a narration role would be good enough. She didnt expect Wanwan to be so magnanimous. Wu Ying laughed, Shes been interning at the TV station, and besides, with Mr. Huos connections, where cant she work? Shes not going to compete with commoners like us for jobs, right? She clearly understands how to handle relationships! Okay then. ** For the next three days, Su Wanwan was busy coordinating the schools field research activities. When she set off on Friday, Huo Jingshen drove her to the airport. Since they got married, Huo Jingshen had been the one on business trips. It was the first time Su Wanwan would be away for a week. And the departure was early at 8 am, meaning she had to get up at 5 am. All the way, Su Wanwan was drowsy in the passenger seat. When they finally reached the airport, Huo Jingshen parked the car and looked at his little girl. Her hair hung down to her waist, her face tilted, with closed eyes, she slept like a piglet. Baby, were at the airport. Extremely tired, Su Wanwan opened her eyes and complained, So sleepy. You can sleep more on the plane. Su Wanwan suddenly glared at him, Its all your fault! Knowing she had to get up at five in the morning, he kept her up the night before, so she ended up with less than four hours of sleep. Huo Jingshen smirked, Baby, you wont see your husband for a week. Su Wanwan: Look at him, sounding so melancholic. She undid her seat belt without changing her expression, Help me with the luggage. Wait a moment. Huo Jingshen held her back. Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, didnt wait for him to say anything, and stepped out of the car. The trunk opened, and Huo Jingshen quickly walked over, lifting the huge suitcase with ease and set the handle for her. Placing the handle in her hand, Huo Jingshen began to talk again, Its cold in the mornings and evenings on Jiangxin Island. Remember to bring a jacket to avoid catching a cold. All the necessary medicines are in that white bag Su Wanwan kept nodding like a pecking chick, until The last day is your period Ahem. Su Wanwan was nearly choked by her saliva, How do you know about this? She recalled that her period was usually around the beginning of the month. Honestly, the most annoying thing about travelling is having your period, especially the first two days. The discomfort, inconvenience are one thing; occasionally, theres even cramping. Only girls who have experienced cramps would understand the feeling! This kind of thing is something every husband should know very clearly. Why? Huo Jingshen cast a light glance at her. Su Wanwan: Holy crap! She got it. So its because No wonder he remembers so clearly! You shameless man, thinking only of naughty things all day, arent you? Su Wanwan immediately pulled the suitcase, Okay, Im going now, I really need to leave! Stop talking now! But Huo Jingshen raised his hand again, patting her head, The medicine for cramps is also in the white bag, take one if you cant bear it. Call me in advance the day you come back, and Ill pick you up from the airport. Also, apart from group activities, dont go out alone, especially not with a teacher or male classmate. Su Wanwan pouted and rolled her eyes. Why so naggy? Did you hear what I said? I heard ya. After a long winded lecture, Su Wanwan was finally allowed to leave. Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: 684, Su Wanwan, this name sounds really good Chapter 684: 684, Su Wanwan, this name sounds really good Huo Jingshen stood tall, watching the young girl slowly blend in with the group of college students as she pulled her bright yellow suitcase. But Narrowing his eyes, Huo Jingshen looked around, and in the end, he realized Yup. His girl was the prettiest among them all. On the other hand Wanwan, Wanwan, your Mr. Huo is so handsome! Zhao Qianqian held her arm, starry-eyed. Su Wanwan asked, Dont you like Teacher Di the most? Ah, how can these two be the same? Teacher Di is handsome and approachable, like a boy next door, but Mr. Huo is a domineering businessman, a business elite, a prodigious talent, a diamond male god! Hes like a rainbow in the sky, to be admired from afar, but not to be touched Su Wanwan took out her cell phone, Come on, I must record this. Someone is blowing rainbow farts in praise of my husband! Zhao Qianqian continued, Mostly, its because I havent seen Mr. Huo for a long time. Today, I feel like hes even more handsome! This mature and elegant man is just perfect. How come youre so lucky to be chosen by him Then, she pushed Su Wanwan forcefully, You heartless woman! Stop playing with your phone! Dont you see your Mr. Huo is still watching you? Damn! What a godly husband, so handsome, so rich, and so good to you! Su Wanwan froze. He hasnt left yet? She turned to look. Certainly, Huo Jingshen was still standing there near his black Mu Shang. He was wearing a standard three-piece black suit, paired with a white shirt and a dark red tie. With his six-foot-tall figure, a charm from his cold demeanor, along with the ostentatious car, he was just standing there, like a bright scenic line. Quite noticeable. The golden morning sunlight spilled over him. The distance made it hard to make out his expression. Under the light curtain, he was silent and calm, looking somewhat unreal. Su Wanwan pursed her lips and sent him a message on WeChat. [You should go back to work now, and remember to drive slowly.] Looking up, she saw that Huo Jingshen was still standing in the same spot, not even touching his phone. Perhaps he left his phone in his car? But why was he still standing there? Suddenly, the teachers voice rang out, Group leaders, check if your group members are all here. Were ready to proceed with boarding. Su Wanwan hurriedly started calling roll. After managing her group, she turned around and found the spot previously occupied by the man and his car was now empty. Uh. Alright, lets queue up for baggage check. Boys, please help the girls in your group Su Wanwan turned around, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and followed her classmates towards the large hall. On the other hand. As Huo Jingshen was driving away from the airport, halfway through, his phone rang suddenly. After picking the call, he said, Its going to take off soon. It will arrive at eleven. Youre welcome. After hanging up, he noticed a red notification on WeChat. Opening it, he saw a message sent by his girl not long ago. [You should go back to work now, and remember to drive slowly.] Curling his lips slightly, Huo Jingshen replied with a single word, [Okay.] ** The plane arrived at its destination two hours later. After lunch, a car ride, then a boat ride, it took over an hour to reach Jiangxin Island. Thanks to the sponsorship of the Huo Yuan Group, they were staying in the islands most luxurious five-star hotel, all in deluxe suites. Upon learning this, Zhao Qianqian sang praises for Mr. Huo again. Once the rooms were assigned, there was an organizational meeting, and then dinner. The first day passed in a flurry of activity. Surrounded by water, Jiangxin Continent boasts a splendid scenery. The schedule for the field work was prearranged. They had a total of seven days. The first six days were packed with sightseeing, leaving the last day for bamboo rafting. Jiangxin Continent has a river with relatively shallow water, making bamboo rafting quite famous. However, on the third day, after waking up in the morning, the fine raindrops began to fall incessantly. Starting as a drizzle, by the time they finished breakfast, it turned into a downpour. With the islands inherent high humidity, looking outside the window was like seeing a white foggy world, making it difficult to see the road clearly. Most of the students in the news class were female, and most of the shooting spots were located in the mountains. Considering the slippery conditions due to the rain and safety issues, they had to cancel that days outdoor activities. Liing in her hotel room, Su Wanwan was incredibly bored. She picked up her phone and sent a couple of messages to her besties group chat: [Who wants to chat with me for five bucks?] [@Shi Huan, @Mo Weiyi.] After waiting for a while, Shi Huan finally replied, [Wanwan, is Jiangxin Island fun?] Su Wanwan: [Not bad, but its raining heavily today. Im stuck in the hotel!] Shi Huan: [I feel you.] Shi Huan was also stuck in a hospital room recovering from an injury, occasionally replying to her. As for Mo Weiyi, she was probably busy preparing court records. She didnt say a word from start to finish. The TV was playing some boring variety show, and Zhao Qianqian was watching it and giggling like a fool. Suddenly, around nine oclock, her phone rang. Hello, Teacher Wang. Okay, well come down right away. After hanging up, Zhao Qianqian said, Wanwan, Teacher Wang wants us group leaders to go to the coffee shop on the second floor for a meeting. Okay. She tidied herself up quickly, and, together with Zhao Qianqian, they left the room, crossed the corridor, and waited for the elevator. Because it was raining today, many guests were stuck in the hotel, as a result, the elevator was also particularly slow. Finally, one elevator arrived. As soon as the doors opened, both of them hesitated to enter. There were five people standing inside, and at the forefront was a woman. She was tall, with shoulder-length hair lightly curled. She wore a pair of large sunglasses, revealing her fair cheeks, high nose, and exquisitely applied sultry red lip. In April, the average temperature in Jiangxin Continent is only around ten degrees. Today, it was raining and overcast, making it even colder. Despite this, the woman was wearing just a thin maroon coat, which was fitted and knee-length. At the hem of the coat, the beige lining of her skirt and her eye-blindingly white legs were visible, leading down to her delicate black high heels. The person was delicate, meticulous, noble, without the slightest trace of dust. As for the four foreign bodyguards standing behind her, they were all tall and leggy, wearing sunglasses, and there was even a black man among them. They were all dressed in the same black suits. Su Wanwan had known Mo Weiyi for over a decade, and she had seen countless bodyguards accompanying her. But foreign bodyguards were different from Chinese bodyguards. All four of these men were over two meters tall, with strong bones, firm muscles, and their suit sleeves and shoulders were bulging. Their faces were identical: expressionless. This scene was particularly imposing, like something out of an American blockbuster. Zhao Qianqian didnt dare to go in. Jiangxin Island was a domestic 5A tourist attraction. Since Huo Yuan Group took over, several seven-star hotels, high-end private clubs, and various entertainment facilities have been built on the island. Holidaying visitors who come here are either rich or powerful, including celebrities and politicians from home and abroad. Yesterday, her class teacher said that there seemed to be a Hollywood crew shooting here recently. So were these people filming? Or real VIPs? It was impossible to tell. Su Wanwan didnt really want to go in either. After all, they were in a foreign land, and both she and Zhao Qianqian were girls. She knew some self-defense techniques, but Zhao Qianqian didnt. Just when she was hesitating, the woman inside the elevator slightly turned her head and looked over. Then, she lifted her foot and moved aside. It was clearly an invitation for them to enter. Su Wanwan hesitated a bit, then, as if possessed, she walked right into the elevator. Wanwan! Zhao Qianqian called out anxiously. Su Wanwan reached out and pressed the button for the second floor. Then she looked at Zhao Qianqian, What are you standing there for? Come in. Zhao Qianqian had no choice but to follow her in. But she was frightened. As soon as she entered, she grabbed her friends arm and didnt dare to look around. Who would have thought that the elevator would be fully mirrored! So when the elevator doors closed, Zhao Qianqian saw her chubby face and the bodyguards behind her. It was absolutely terrifying. The elevator began to descend, and her heart gave a thump. She was afraid that those bodyguards would suddenly pull out guns and point them at her and Su Wanwan, asking for money or lives? She secretly glanced at Su Wanwan. Jesus! How could this gal be so calm? When she looked at the woman next to them. She still had her chin up, wore sunglasses, her lips were tightly pressed, emanating an aura of aloofness. The elevator became eerily silent. Zhao Qianqian retracted her gaze, afraid to look around anymore. As time passed bit by bit, finally, the second floor arrived. When the elevator door opened, Zhao Qianqian was the first to rush out. Su Wanwan also followed suit and got out. When the elevator door closed Jesus! Zhao Qianqian dashing to grab her arm, Wanwan, that woman has a strong aura, do you think shes a CEO, or a big gang leader? Or perhaps a celebrity? How should I know? Thats too crazy! Zhao Qianqian marveled, But you were so calm. I didnt dare to get in the elevator earlier, for fear that those bodyguards would suddenly take out their gunsOh, and I can tell that woman was constantly checking you out. Looking at me? Su Wanwan frowned, How can you tell when she was wearing sunglasses? She really did turn her head. It felt like she was staring at us. If not at you, was she looking at me? What could she possibly find interesting about the way I look? Su Wanwan: She must have been looking at you because youre pretty, hehe All right, lets get to the meeting. Oh. Once they arrived at the coffee shop, the other group leaders were already there, and so was Di Chenghe, besides the head teacher. I saw the news from the meteorological bureau, which said that there will be heavy rain for the next few days. That means the itinerary for the exploration will have to be re-planned. I wanted to gather you all here to discuss this. It was more than an hour later when the meeting ended. Everyone left the room and prepared to eat. The dining room was just next door and it was mealtime. The place was crowded with people who came for the buffet. Seeing the crowd, Su Wanwan lost her appetite. After wandering around with a plate for a long time without picking anything, she suddenly saw a window over there where fresh beef noodles were being prepared? Su Wanwan quickly turned around wanting to put her plate back. However, she collided with someone. A womans cry of pain came through her ear, and Su Wanwan quickly apologized, Im sorry, Im sorry! Then she took a closer look at the person she had collided with Um. It was the same woman who she had bumped into on the elevator earlier. But this time she was alone, without the black-suited bodyguards or the sunglasses. Su Wanwan recognized her from her clothes. The tailored dark red coat was too distinctive; it stood out in the entire restaurant. The woman lowered her head and whispered, Its okay. Her voice was clear and melodious. It did not match her cold stunning appearance, and her Mandarin sounded very standard. Su Wanwan looked down and felt quite awkward, Sorry about that, I seemed to have stepped on your foot. Did you get hurt? She was wearing a pair of white shoes today, a good thing they werent high heels. But the imprint of her heavy step was clearly visible on the womans face, which was otherwise pristine. The skin now had a light colored mark. It was obviously Su Wanwans doing. Im sorry, I really didnt mean to do that. Su Wanwan quickly apologized. A series of apologies prompted the woman to finally look up. An extremely beautiful face appeared in Su Wanwans field of vision. Su Wanwan looked at her, somewhat dazzled. This woman looked too young, about thirty years old? With her black hair, white skin, and extremely delicate features, especially those beautiful phoenix eyes, bright and vivid, very soft and soothing to look at. Although she was wearing light makeup, she was completely different from her previous high-profile look in the elevator. On the contrary, she looked very approachable now, and even her tone was polite, Im really fine, young lady, dont be nervous. Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: 686, Mr. Huo descended from the sky Chapter 686: 686, Mr. Huo descended from the sky Huhwhat does that mean? Someone seemed quite unhappy. Su Wanwan felt awkward and said, Um, lets talk about it later on WeChat, gotta hang up now. Without waiting for him to say anything, she immediately hung up the phone. She had just put down her phone. Tsk tsk tsk, so youre not going to karaoke with us because youre in your room being romantic with your little Mr. Huo? Look at that red face and those flirty eyes of yours Su Wanwan swiftly turned off the lights, Im exhausted, Im going to bed! Zhao Qianqian: In the darkness, the screen of Sus phone lit up again. Huo Jingshen had sent a WeChat message, but he didnt ask about the previous question. Instead, he only said two words, Sleep. After saying that, he sent an emoji of a kiss. Su Wanwan: So flirty. But this emoji She finally couldnt resist and texted him back, Cant you download a few more fashionable emojis? Huo Jingshen: He had been despised by his wife. * * At 10 p.m., in a private villa in downtown Nancheng City. In the quiet study room, a continuous WeChat notification sound suddenly rang out. Lu Chenyu had just finished reviewing a case and was about to return to his room to rest. He took a sip of water from his thermo mug, then picked up his iPhone to open the WJY WeChat group. The next second. Pfft! He spat out all the water in his mouth. Surprisingly, it was Huo Jingshen, who rarely participated in the chat, bombarding the WJY WeChat group with a flurry of cute emojis. While posting he kept asking, Which emoji looks good? Finally, a righteous person spoke up. Nangong Ci: Holy shit! Bro, has your account been hacked? Gu Huaian: Can you stop clowning around in the middle of the night? A thirty-year-old man was using those cutesy South Korean girl emojis suitable for young boys and girls. This was simply mind-boggling. Just as the two finished speaking, Huo Jingshen started bombarding the group with emojis again. Sweet bunnies, cute kittens, obedient babies, adorable piglets How mind-blowing! Eventually. Chu Xiuhuang: Big brother, I think the last emoji is the most suitable for you. The last emoji wasan Emoji Package Exclusive for Elders. Lu Chenyu quietly put the WeChat group on mute. Ever since marrying Su, his brother seemed to be becoming more and more strange. * * The next day. As soon as she woke up, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. After going to the restroom, sure enough. Her period had arrived! This was so bad. Huo Jingshen was such a jinx! He really hit the nail on the head! After breakfast, Su Wanwan could only ask her teacher for a leave of absence. Her teacher was 40 this year and understood right away when she mentioned feeling unwell and unable to do the bamboo rafting. She approved her request instantly. Alright then, you can rest in the hotel today. If anything happens, call me immediately. Thank you, Teacher Wang. After her classmates had happily set off in a coach to explore, Su Wanwan was left alone in her large hotel bed. At first, she was leisurely watching television, but as the pain in her lower abdomen intensified, it became unbearable. She felt something was off. This time the period pain seemed a bit severe. Remembering that Huo Jingshen had prepared some medicine in advance, she got up to look for them. Yet, she rummaged through her entire suitcase but found nothing. Left with no choice, she laid back down on the bed, her abdomen throbbing incessantly. Perhaps the last few days were too jam-packed with schedules, shooting was too tiring, her hands clutching her abdomen, and felt like a blunt knife was being twisted inside her, causing her to have a throbbing headache. Turning off the television, Su Wanwan closed her eyes. She should sleep. Maybe after a nap, it would get better. However, no matter how hard she tried, the spasms only intensified, making sleep impossible. Su Wanwan curled up, her face turning pale from the pain. Supporting herself up, she reached for the telephone on the bedside table, intending to call the front desk for help getting painkillers. But just then, her doorbell rang. Who is it? The suite had great soundproofing, and perhaps her voice was not audible to anyone. There was no answer and the doorbell stopped ringing. Then, her phone rang again. Su Wanwan found her phone and looked at it, feeling a little surprised. It was actually a WeChat message from Yan Shunhua. Wanwan, youre staying in room 1908, right? Yes. Im outside your door, can you open it? Su Wanwan: Through the pain, she managed to get up. With each step, she felt a sharp twinge in her stomach. For the past few days, she was shooting in the mountains and waters during the day, and sometimes had group meetings in the evening. She didnt feel much at the time, but now all the exhaustion seemed to have left side effects. The reaction was quite severe due to her period pain. Su Wanwan even felt like she had never had such severe menstrual cramps before. How embarrassing Clutching her stomach, she moved slowly like an old grandmother and eventually managed to open the door. Yan Shunhua was standing in the corridor outside, still in her exquisite makeup, serene and elegant. Aunt Yan, did you need something? Su Wenwen managed to put on a thin smile. Looking at her, Yan Shunhua immediately said gently, Youre in so much pain, go lie down immediately. Ill heat up some water for you. After you take the painkiller, youll feel better. Su Wenwen was a bit lost, Aunt Yan, how did you know Yan Shunhua had already entered the room. She closed the door, quickly picked up the kettle and said, I just happened to overhear the front desk talking about it. Your teacher called the hotel and mentioned that you were feeling unwell due to your period. I thought you were a young girl all alone here without anyone to look after you, so I immediately came over. Su Wanwan lay back down on the bed. After listening to her explanation, her head felt a little fuzzy, but she was unable to tell if it was true or not. However, someone came over kindly to give her medicine, so all she could say was thank you. You dont have to be so polite to me. Yan Shunhua boiled the water, adjusted the temperature of the water, and then let her take a pill with it. Are you hungry lunchtime is upon us? What do you want to eat? Let me buy for you. Su Wanwan quickly shakes her head, No need, I dont have much of an appetite. Then you rest and take a nap for a while. Once the painkillers start to take effect, you will feel better when you wake up. Also. She opens the bag again and pulls out a box of brown sugar ginger tea, You can have this when you wake up. You can also drink it to warm your stomach before your period every time, its very effective for menstrual cramps. Dont eat too much cold food on normal days, youre still young, but you should take care of your body too. Okay. Su Wenwen promises. She looks at Yan Shunhua, purses her lips, Aunt Yan, you can go ahead with your business, dont worry about me. Im not busy, Ill stay here with you. Yan Shunhua says, and pulls the curtain over the window before sitting down on the sofa. The room is quiet again. The light is dim, Su Wanwan half-closing her eyes, looking at the figure on the sofa, unconsciously, she dozes off. * * When she wakes up again. Su Wanwan opens her eyes and gets a shock. Huo Jingshen is sitting by the bed, still dressed in his usual suit and shoes, only now his dark tie is undone, and two buttons on his white shirt are undone. His handsome face is slightly tense. Are you awake? Su Wanwan looks at him blankly, puzzled, You why are you here? Is she dreaming? Isnt she on Jiangxin Continent? Its a two-hour flight from Nancheng. How is Huo Jingshen here? Hmm! It must be a dream! Huo Jingshen stretches out his hand, rubs her forehead, Didnt I tell you, the pills for menstrual cramps are in that white storage bag? Did it hurt so much that you fainted? Su Wanwan blinks her eyes. The warm touch on her forehead feels familiar and real. Apparently, its not a dream! She continues to ask in a confused state, How did you know I was in pain and fainted? Huo Jingshen narrows his dark eyes, Your homeroom teacher called me. Homeroom teacher? Su Wanwan tilts her face, look puzzled and vacant. Why the homeroom teacher again? Her mind is still somewhat muddled. She did take leave from her homeroom teacher, but how did her homeroom teacher know she fainted? And called so many people? Also When did you come over? Su Wenwen asks. Huo Jingshen replies, Just arrived not long ago. Then where is Aunt Yan? Who? Huo Jingshen raises an eyebrow. Su Wanwan opens her mouth. She suddenly doesnt know how to introduce. Its Aunt Yan, she just came to bring me medicine, she must have left. Oh. Huo Jingshen responds and changes the subject, Are you hungry? Su Wanwan nods hurriedly. Starving. She took medicine and slept a bit, hasnt even had lunch yet. Now her stomach is completely pain-free, only feeling extremely hungry. What do you want to eat? I want to eat your beef noodles. Su Wanwan blurts out, and then. Never mind, lets eat downstairs, theres a caf on the second floor, they should be serving food by now. Huo Jingshen immediately lifts the blanket, lifts her up in his arms like a princess, Then I will take you to eat the beef noodles Im about to prepare. Ah? Su Wanwan looks at him in surprise, hugging his neck, Prepare it now? Where are we going to make it? This whole island is mine, where do you think were going to make it? Su Wanwan: Oh right. The whole island belongs to Huo Yuan Group, how did she forget about this. ** Half an hour later. In a private villa. Su Wanwan sits on a pure white leather sofa, with her hands around her knees. Her long black hair cascades loosely over her shoulders. She rests her chin on her knees, purses her lips, and looks expectantly at the tall and upright figure in the open kitchen, waiting to be fed. Finally. You can eat now. Huo Jingshen carries a big bowl of fragrant beef noodles, walks over with long strides, and puts the bowl of noodles on the coffee table before her. Su Wanwan immediately gets up, grabs the chopsticks. She takes a big mouthful of the chewy and smooth noodles. Its so delicious! Su Wanwan squints her eyes, the taste is so delicious it almost brought her to tears. She has been eating the hotel buffet for the past few days and to be honest, she is tired of it. The lovingly made noodles by her husband are still the best! Huo Jingshen curls his lips, Ill go make a phone call, eat slowly, dont choke. Hmm. Su Wanwan doesnt even look up as she continues eating. Huo Jingshen stands up, walks to a room, pushes the door and goes in. Su Wanwan finishes a big bowl of noodles, and Huo Jingshen comes out of the room. He walks over, lifts his hand, and brushes her long hair, Was it good? It was delicious, will you make it for me tonight? Tonight I want to eat rice and stir-fried dishes. Huo Jingshen raises an eyebrow, Hmm he replies. Hubby, you are so good to me! Su Wanwan acts cute, lifts her chin, smiles sweetly. Huo Jingshen naturally puts an arm around her, How do you feel? If youre not well, we can leave in a few days. In a few days? Su Wanwan widens her eyes, Isnt Grandpa Chu holding a recognition banquet tomorrow? Is it okay not to go? It was decided that they would fly back to Nancheng tomorrow morning and attend Chu Familys recognition banquet in the evening. Huo Jingshen says, Its fine as long as grandma and the others attend. Isnt that not so proper? Stay here and enjoy for a few more days, well go back on Monday. Huo Jingshen suggests. End of the side story My Crafty Grandfather Once, Grandfather Huo and Grandmother Huo had a cold war and for three whole days, grandmother didnt even acknowledge him. On the fourth day, grandmother came home from playing mahjong next door. When she was changing her slippers, she suddenly stepped on something squishy and wriggling. Ahhhh Grandmother Huo shrieked in fright. Thats so inappropriate! Grandfather Huo rushed over, stepped on it and crushed the caterpillar, then he scolded, Ashen, how can you be so naughty? How can you put a caterpillar in your grandmothers slippers! Five-year-old Huo Xiaoshen: Alright, kids will be kids, didnt scare you, did it? Grandfather Huo hugs his beloved wifes waist, gently consoles her and everything returns to the way it was. That night, Huo Xiaoshen wrote in his composition book: My grandfather, who is already fifty years old this year, is very cunning. He even makes use of his own grandson Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: 687, the first gold medal female lawyer? Chapter 687: 687, the first gold medal female lawyer? Alright then, well do it your way. But you should notify Da Huang first, just so he doesnt blame us later. Okay. A little while later, Huo Jingshen explained the situation in the WJY WeChat group, Due to my wifes ill health, we can only return to Nancheng on the 10th. Chu Xiuhuang only responded with two words, Ha ha. The rest of the group naturally cracked a few jokes. Su Wanwan was still oblivious to the fact that she was being sold out. Her husbands sudden arrival, especially during this period when she was not feeling well, warmed her heart. That night, they arrived at the hotel and gave Zhao Qianqian quite a fright as they entered the room. After packing her suitcase, Su Wanwan left with Huo Jingshen, trailing behind him like a little puppy. The next day, while the teachers and classmates woke up early to catch a flight, she slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, Huo Jingshen drove her around Jiangxin Island for a fun day out. During the previous filming, she hardly had the chance to appreciate the scenery, spending most of her time running around with the crew, worrying about everything and exhausting herself. Now, without any worries and with her husband taking care of everything, all Su Wanwan needed to do was to follow him and enjoy the trip, which felt both comforting and reassuring. After two days of fun, Su Wanwan contacted Yan Shunhua as soon as they returned to the villa in the afternoon of the 9th. Auntie Yan, are you free tonight? My husband and I would like to invite you to dinner. Over the past two days, Yan Shunhua had not contacted her. Being a big director, she was probably busy with work, and Su Wanwan didnt want to interrupt. However, they would be returning home the next day, and to express gratitude for Yan Shunhuas previous care, Su Wanwan felt it was necessary to treat her to a meal. Who would have thought Yan Shunhua: Im sorry, Wanwan, but Ive already left. She left? That fast? Su Wanwan quickly asked, Where are you now? Im in Beijing, Im taking a flight back to America tonight. Alright then, next time you are in the country, get in touch. My husband and I definitely want to take you out to dinner. Yan Shunhua sent a smiling face, There is no need to be so courteous. Setting down her phone just as Huo Jingshen emerged from the bathroom, What did she say? She said shes already in Beijing and shes flying back to America tonight. I should have contacted her yesterday. Su Wanwan pouted. Thats fine. We can wait till next time. said Huo Jingshen as he started to pack. Su Wanwan remained lying on the bed and checked Weibo. The top trend was Chu Familys Reunion Banquet. Last night, on the 8th, the Chu Family booked the entire second floor of Huashang Restaurant and arranged a banquet with almost a hundred tables. The Chu Family is different from the other major families in Nancheng. Theyve always been understated, with the exception of Chu Xiuhuang. For many years, the Chu Family has always been perceived as scholarly. Their news was typically academic and positive. This time, they diverged from their usual austerity and hosts a lavish reunion banquet. The star of the show was a young girl who had just turned five. There were two agendas for the reunion. The first was to officially announce that the Chu family had finally found their great-granddaughter, Chu Luoluo, who was five years old. The second was to announce that Chu Xiuhuang was to marry Shi Huan, Luoluos biological mother and his secretary of five years, on the 20th of May in a months time. The Chu Familys unified public statement was that the couple had been together for six years already and were only making up for their lack of a wedding ceremony. So, the headlines of major media outlets were immediately dominated by the reunion banquet. Husband and child, buy one get one free! The Fire Emperors love life and career are both thriving! Chus eldest grandson secretly married for six years, their fairy tale love story leaving others green with envy. The woman who saved the Milky Way! And so forth Such headlines were overwhelming. At the reunion banquet, except for Shi Huan who couldnt attend due to the need to recover from injuries in the hospital, and Huo Jingshen who was accompanying his wife on Jiangxin Continent, all of the other brothers showed up with their families in tow. The elderly patriarch of the Chu family not only invited friends and relatives, but also many well-known figures from the literary world. In short, this reunion banquet was a major gathering in Nanchengs high society. At noon, Grandpa Chu gave a speech. The old man, dressed in a black, gold-bordered silk robe and round-topped felt hat, looked healthy and vibrant with a healthy complexion, and spoke with fluency and authority. As for the audience below the stage Congrats, Second brother. Chu Er, when are you planning to have the wedding? Youre going to be a married man. No, youre going to be a dad, hahaha. Doting father, Chu Xiuhuang, holds his five-year-old baby girl. For today, hes dressed atypically in a sharp suit, looking handsome yet devilish. Hearing his friends teasing, his lips curl into a wicked smile, I know youre all dripping with envy. Go ahead and express it. Then, just send a red envelope to Luoluo when youre done. Do we have to give red envelopes at this kinship banquet? Someone immediately protests. Right. Save it for your daughters birthday. Dont be so petty! Today is a joyous day, lets not bring money into our friendship! Chu Xiuhuang directly asks, Luoluo, wheres your phone? Little Luoluo is also dressed up beautifully today. Shes wearing a red, slim-fitted mini-cheongsam with a matching designer bag slung over her shoulder. Her long, dark hair cascades down her shoulders, while her porcelain face appears even more delicate and dewy in contrast to her red dress. She looks coy and adorable. Currently, shes quietly held by her father, appearing refined and elegant. Even though shes only five years old, she emanates a charm of a young girl. Hearing Chu Xiuhuangs words, she obediently pulls out a Peppa Pig themed childrens phone from her small bag. Chu Xiuhuang raises his fingers, operates a few things on the phone, then says, Let the uncles scan it. Little Luoluo, blinking her beautiful big eyes, dutifully extends her phone forward. Uncles, go ahead and scan it! The crowd takes a look. Holy hell! Its a WeChat money collection QR code. Thats cutthroat! Its truly cutthroat! Is this a kinship banquet? This definitely feels more like a robbery banquet! Hurry up, no more chattering! After everyone pulls out their phones to scan the code, he gloats, Dont be trifled, once Huanhuans health improves, I plan to give Luoluo a few more younger brothers soon. The meaning behind his words being, in the future, there will be no shortage of times for them to give gifts. Nangong Ci can only grumble, Second brother, this is too abrupt. What about our fantasy football league, and the brotherhood we share? The eldest brother is married, youre getting married too, and now your child is five years old Lu Chenyu, standing by the side, silently scans the code and transfers tens of thousands. Nangong Ci reassuringly pats his shoulder, Little fourth, thats generous of you. I know its painful for you to give away money. As a fanboy of your bromance, I too am feeling heartbroken. The world is full of fish, little fourth, try to see the bigger picture, there are plenty of good men. Lu Chenyu gives him a sidelong glance and walks away. Hey, dont go. Nangong Ci sighs, Second brother, dont you see how lonely little fourth appears, how desolate, how desolate After the lengthy speech, Chu Xiuhuang was simply preoccupied with collecting red envelopes for Luoluo. Only when the Chu familys patriarch comes over to hold his great-granddaughter for the speech can Chu Xiuhuang finally take a break, settle into a sofa, alert Shi Huan about the spoils of the day, and take a few pictures to send to her. Onstage, the grandfather and granddaughter, dressed in similar fashion, have photographers and the media going wild, and some even livestreaming the scene. Chu Xiuhuang asks, [Sweetheart, dont you see how adorable our daughter is?] Hes already chosen to address her sweetly. However, Shi Huan reacts more calmly, [Shes adorable.] [As soon as the kinship banquet ends, Ill rush back to be with you. Sweetheart, Ive just collected hundreds of thousands in red envelopes for our daughter. Arent I awesome? Hurry and kiss me.] Shi Huan: [Dont be shy. Were about to be married. Right now, I just want you to recover fully so you can experience what true marital bliss is.] This time Shi Huan doesnt even respond. Just as Chu Xiuhuang begins to snicker, suddenly, Now that the kinship banquet is done, when will you handle the person you brought over? Chu Xiuhuang looks up to see Lu Chenyu sitting next to him, his gaze accusing, his tone full of resentment. Are you talking about the little princess? Chu Xiuhuang raises an eyebrow, Hasnt she resigned yet? No. Damn! Chu Xiuhuang exclaims in surprise. He thought Mo Weiyi, being as delicate as she was, surely couldnt handle the hardship. Who would have thought shes already been interning at the law firm for two weeks? Alright. Chu Xiuhuang slaps his best buds shoulder, In that case, you might as well mentor her properly. Who knows, in no time, she might become your star protg, take over your mantle, and become Nanchengs number one female lawyer! Lu Chenyu: Applause breaks out. Chu Xiuhuang immediately gets up, I have to go and make a speech. Good luck. Lu Chenyu is once again left speechless: After Chu Xiuhuangs departure, he picks up his wine glass, pours himself a drink, and sips alone. Not far away, a gossip reporter captures this entire scene and posts it online. Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: 688, true love is with the opposite sex! Chapter 688: 688, true love is with the opposite sex! The headline read: Chus young master attends the family banquet with his daughter, showing great affection even as he consoles his ex-love The article contained several photos, one of which showed Chu Xiuhuang patting Lu Chenyu on the shoulder, seemingly comforting him. Soon enough, fans were leaving comments: User A: [Actually, Brother Fire Emperor and Lawyer Lu are the real lovers, right?] User B: [Support Emperor City CP! That Secretary Shi must be a cunning woman!] User C: [This woman managed to snatch Young Master Chu from Lawyer Lu! She must be of high rank!] User C: [Homosexuals for procreation! Heterosexuals are the true love!] User D: [Emperor City girls never admit defeat!] User E: [I can keep shipping Emperor City CP for another hundred years!] Of course, besides these gossips, other coverage was very positive, all expressing congratulations and envy. Meanwhile, at the Shi Family residence in the northern part of the city. Madam Shi, dressed in a lake-green embroidered cheongsam, asked, Yulin, how do I look in this dress? Mom, are you Tonight is the Chu Familys family banquet. Go change into something more decent and come along with me, she demanded. Qian Yulin was surprised, Were attending their family banquet? Of course. Huanhuan is my darling granddaughter, Luoluo is her daughter, which makes us part of their family, replied Madam Shi as she adjusted her cheongsam. This cheongsam I am wearing was custom-tailored by a master craftsman in the south city when I was thirty, using Suzhous double-sided embroidery. It has been preserved well over the years and it still looks as good as when it was new But Mom, Qian Yulin interjected, The Chus did not invite us over. Were all family now, theres no need for an invitation, Madam Shi said, feeling very good about herself. Quickly, get changed. We dont want to be late. With no other choice, Qian Yulin obeyed and changed into another outfit. She then shared a taxi with Madam Shi to the Huashang Hotel. By the time they arrived, the banquet was reaching its climax. Roars of cheer and applause could be heard from inside, the sound alone was enough to rouse excitement. Qian Yulin, having lived to a considerable age, had never seen such an extravagant event. She held onto Madam Shi, lively and eager to enter, but then May I see your invitation, please? An invitation? Qian Yulin looked at the security guard, We dont have one. The guard immediately replied, Im sorry, but no one is allowed to enter without an invitation. Madam Shi glared, What invitation? Im here to see my granddaughter! If youre looking for your granddaughter, go to the police station. This place is booked for a private event tonight, not a place you should be, retorted the guard, Move it! Madam Shi was infuriated, My granddaughter is Shi Huan! The daughter-in-law of the Chu family! Tell her to come out now! The guard looked at the two women. Compared to the guests at the event, these two women undoubtedly appeared to be of a lower class. Losing his patience, he insisted, I already told you, no entrance without an invitation, now please leave! If not, Ill call for help! Madam Shi panicked, Yulin, call that ungrateful girl and let her come out to meet us. Qian Yulin took out her phone and dialed Shi Huans number, which was quickly connected. Mom? A somewhat guilty Qian Yulin asked, Huanhuan, can you come out? What do you mean? Qian Yulin whispered, Your grandmother insists on attending the family banquet, but we were not invited hence we cant get in. Can you come get us or else your grandmother is going to be very angry. Ha, Shi Huan chuckled over the phone. Mom, you never visited me in the hospital, so you wouldnt have known that Im still there recovering from my injuries. How am I supposed to go to the family banquet? Qian Yulin paused in silence. Over the past couple of days, it wasnt as if she didnt want to visit the hospital. But each time, Madam Shi managed to stop her with various excuses. Once when Madam Shi was taking a nap in the afternoon, she snuck off to the hospital. However, she was not allowed to enter the elevator due to lack of a relatives card. Plus, after Shi Minyan got divorced, he moved back home and stayed busier, leaving her even less time to visit the hospital. She had assumed that Shi Huan had already recovered when the banquet was organized. She did not expect Huanhuan, Im sorry, I thought You dont need to apologize, Ive gotten used to it over the years, Shi Huan replied calmly. Huanhuan, what should we do now? Shi Huan answered, You should go home. Going back? Yes. Dont embarrass yourself. After saying this, Shi Huan hung up the phone. What did that damn girl say? Granny Shi asked urgently. All Qian Yulin could do was tell the truth, Mom, Huanhuan is still in the hospital recovering, so lets go back first. What do you mean? Still recovering? How is that possible! Granny Shi simply couldnt believe it, Shes doing this on purpose! How can she, her own mother, not be present at the acknowledgment banquet? Mom, Huanhuan is really badly hurt. Why dont we go to the hospital and see her? However, Granny Shi said, Then call the Chu family and ask them to send someone to pick us up. Qian Yulin was completely taken aback. The Chu family? Why are you standing there stunned! Go ahead and call! Qian Yulin said, I dont have their number. Then ask that damn girl for it! Or wait, Minyan probably has it too. Hurry up and call him! Qian Yulin was speechless. Shi Huan wasnt on the scene, and the Chu family didnt inform them at all. Anyone with a shred of understanding of social conventions would know that the Chu family didnt want to acknowledge them as kin at all. Are you deaf? Didnt you hear me tell you to call? Granny Shi slapped her daughter-in-law on the arm. In pain, Qian Yulin reluctantly picked up her phone and reluctantly dialed Shi Minyans number. At this moment, the security officer at her side suddenly spoke, Miss. Granny Shi looked up and cheerfully greeted, Miss Chu. Qian Yulin immediately hung up the phone and also greeted her with a smile. Chu Jingyi, elegantly dressed in red, walked over with grace. Her burgundy long wavy hair was pulled to one side, her red lips prominent, her eyes proud. She didnt plan on coming here at all tonight. Forced into coming over by a phone call, she found two filthy things upon her arrival! She asked, Are you Shi Huans family? Yes, Im Huanhuans grandma. Qian Yulin added, And I am Huanhuans mother. So why are you here? Chu Jingyi sneered, Because your daughter has become a phoenix by flying onto a tall branch, your whole family is rushing over to climb up the relatives? Granny Shi frowned, What kind of talk is that? Huanhuan is my granddaughter and Luoluo is my great-granddaughter. Our two families have become in-laws, arent I as an elder supposed to come and join the celebration? What a joke. Chu Jingyi looked at Granny Shi disdainfully, What tricks did Shi Huan play to marry Ahuang? Dont you know whats going on? And you still dare to come here? Qian Yulin was stunned. Granny Shi was also somewhat taken aback. Chu Jingyi continued, Wasnt the incident back then planned by the Shi family? First, let Ahuang get Shi Huan pregnant, give birth to a child, then let Shi Huan work as Ahuangs secretary for five years to develop feelings between them. Finally, arrange an opportunity for my grandfather to do a DNA test. Wow, your plan was really brilliant! My daughter is not that kind of person, Qian Yulin couldnt help but speak up. She was also a victim back then A victim? Chu Jingyis laugh was incredibly sarcastic, At 18, she get pregnant, and it was rumored that she was defiled by an old man. You, as her elders, why didnt you advise her to abort the child? Why did you let her give birth to the child? With no other motives in mind, is this something a family member would do? Qian Yulins face turned pale. While Granny Shi nervously clutched her walking stick. Did I hit the nail on the head? Do you have nothing to say? After saying this, Chu Jingyi turned her gaze, Ahuang, youre here at the right time. Your two relatives here have been chattering away, giving me a headache. You sort this out. After she finished, she arrogantly walked away. When Qian Yulin turned her head, she saw Chu Xiuhuang coming over. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, tall and straight, looking cold and aloof, and was followed by several bodyguards dressed in black. Granny Shi had a look of joy on her face. But Qian Yulin had a bad premonition. Bringing so many bodyguards, they couldnt possibly be here to pick people up. And indeed- You guys, send them home. At these words, Granny Shis face turned pale, Master Chu, I am Huanhuans grandmother and Luoluos maternal grandmother. How dare you drive us away? Chu Xiuhuang looked down at Granny Shi from above, his thin lips curling up. There was a hint of gloom in his eyes and an arrogant smile on his face, his tone was mocking and blunt, In the past five years, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a grandmother? Apart from making my wife earn money and pay debts, feed you, and squeeze her dry, what else have you done? Huh? Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: 689, dont you really want a son? Chapter 689: 689, dont you really want a son? Qian Yulin was speechless. Mrs. Shi didnt expect Chu Xiuhuang to be so rude. Before she could speak, Chu Xiuhuang spoke again, See them off. With that, he turned around and left. Mrs. Shi was about to go after him, but several bodyguards immediately stepped in front of her, Madam, please leave. I am Luoluos maternal grandmother! On what grounds are you asking me to leave? Mrs. Shis old face turned red and white alternately, she was utterly embarrassed. She wore her best qipao and put on her most elaborate makeup, only to find out she wasnt even allowed in the banquet hall! At the age of seventy, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a humiliation. Qian Yulin persuaded, Mom, lets go. There are many journalists here, lets not make a scene. You useless thing! Mrs. Shi was so angry that her heart hurt, she could only vent her anger on her daughter-in-law. Jiang Yulin: . Meanwhile, when Chu Xiuhuang returned to his seat, he called Shi Huan, Ive sent them home. Im sorry. Shi Huan apologized, I didnt know they would come unannounced, I hope they didnt cause trouble for your family? Your family? Shi Huan was taken aback: Youre about to marry me, youre my wife, and a member of the Chu Family. From now on, you should say our family, understood? Shi Huan sighed, Thank you. Thank you? Shi Huan again: All right, youre my wife, I cant blame you. The next moment. But you mistakenly addressed us twice, so you have to kiss me twice as punishment. Shi Huan fell silent. Chu Xiuhuang couldnt help but laugh, Wife, hurry up and kiss me twice. Ahuang? Ahuang? Someone nudged his shoulder. Chu Xiuhuang, annoyed, raised his head, Sis, Im on the phone with my wife. Chu Jingyi sat down on the opposite couch, crossed her long, white legs, I want to ask you about Shi Familys relatives. Whats your plan? Chu Xiuhuang said into the phone, Wife, I have to hang up, something came up, Ill call you back in a bit. After saying that, he murmured sweetly into the phone. Chu Jingyi couldnt bear to watch. She closed her eyes to suppress her erupting emotions. Chu Xiuhuang glanced at her, the smile on his face completely gone, You dont need to worry about any affairs related to the Shi Family. You think I want to? Chu Jingyi snorted coldly, Since weve already decided to get married, its not just about you and Shi Huan. Its a matter concerning both the Chu and Shi Families. Ah. Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, Sis, arent you too free recently? If you have nothing to do, go abroad to gain some inspiration and make some money for Xiaoyes education fund. Oh, by the way, Luoluo officially recognized her ancestry today, have you, as her aunt, given her a red envelope yet? Chu Jingyi frowned deeply, Dont mess around with me, Im talking about serious business with you. You just worry about your own business. Chu Xiuhuang said, then stood up and left. Chu Jingyi: . Main table in the banquet hall. Little Luoluo was eating fruit. She was sitting between Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu, surrounded by the Chu familys elders, who continually placed tasty dishes in front of her. The atmosphere was akin to stars surrounding the moon. Chu Xiuhuang walked over, reached out with both hands, and picked up the little girl, Luoluo, are you full? Before Little Luoluo could speak, Grandpa Chu started speaking in displeasure, What are you doing, brat! Grandpa, since the recognition banquet is almost over, Ill take Luoluo back to sleep. Its only eight oclock, whats the hurry? I have to go to the hospital to see Shi Huan. On hearing this, even if Grandpa Chu was displeased, he couldnt say much, Fine, but you had some drinks earlier, let the driver take you. Alright. Chu Xiuhuang lowered his head, Luoluo, say goodbye to Great-grandpa and Great-grandma. Little Luoluo had already become familiar with her new elders during this period. She obediently waved her little hand and said goodbye in her childlike voice, Great-grandpa, bye. Great-grandma, bye. Grandpa Chu immediately showed a wide grin. Grandma Chu also forced a smile. Lets go. After Chu Xiuhuang left with the little girl, the younger generation at the Chu family table immediately began to flatter: Dad, Luoluo is really too cute! Yeah, she really takes after Ahuang! Big brother is so blessed! After the wedding, let sister-in-law have a few more kids, and bring us a few more grandkids to the Chu family! Yeah hahaha Old Master Chu couldnt help laughing, while Lady Chu looked completely unamused. She doesnt like Shi Huan, her daughter-in-law, and never thought Chu Xiuhuang would marry such an ordinary woman. What she never anticipated was that Shi Huan had a child with Chu Xiuhuang five years ago. Now there is no turning back. Old Master Chu adores his great-granddaughter so much, so she, as a mother, has no choice but to accept it. ** While there is a lively celebration here, a birthday feast is also being held at the old mansion of the Mo family. Yes. Old Lady Xus sixty-sixth birthday was eventually held at the old Mo mansion. Originally, Mo Weiyi wanted Uncle Shi to book a restaurant outside to celebrate old ladys birthday properly, but then Mo Yaoxiong said his legs were not functioning well, preventing him from going out. So, once Old Master Mo gave the order, the birthday feast was set at the old mansion. Anyway, the place is spacious, and there are plenty of rooms, so theres no issue if any relatives and friends of the Xu family need to stay over. Mo Weiyi didnt care much, as long as her grandmother was happy. She specifically had Uncle Shi bring several Michelin-starred chefs from the Dihong Hotel, and set up a couple of big round tables in the living room of the Chinese-style courtyard. Old Lady Xu also put on a festive new outfit, which made her look radiant. Being so happy, she even drank a little with the younger generation. However, by eight oclock in the evening, she finally couldnt hold up anymore. Xu Jing said, Mom, where are you sleeping tonight? Ill take you back to rest. Mo Weiyi quickly called a maid, Aunty Zhou, please take my grandmother and my aunt to the Beiyuan Villa. Okay. At the mention of the villas name, Xu Jings eyes twitched and she led the old lady away. ** Once at the Beiyuan Villa, Xu Jing helped the old lady wash up and then tucked her into bed. After chatting with her mother for a while, Xu Jing looked at the time, Uncle and the others must have finished drinking by now. Mom, Im going to leave now. Okay. Old Lady Xu closed her eyes. Xu Jing closed the door but instead of leaving, she slipped into the nearby study, took out her phone and called Mo Yaoxiong. The phone rang several times before it was answered. As soon as the call was connected, a slightly panicked voice came from Mo Yaoxiong, Xu Jing, are you crazy? What are you calling me for? Brother-in-law, why are you so nervous? This is Mos place! Xu Jing, what the hell are you up to? I want to see you! Youre crazy! You left without eating much earlier. Are you that afraid to see me? Mo Yaoxiong gritted his teeth, Xu Jing, dont forget what you promised me! I havent forgotten. I just have a few things to tell you. Then say it over the phone. Its not convenient over the phone. Xu Jing said, What I have to say concerns the child in my belly. Brother-in-law, if you dont come to see me, Ill go find you directly! You After a while, Mo Yaoxiong asked, Alright, where are you now? Beiyuan Villa, my mom is resting in the guest room. You can just come to the study on the first floor. Mo Yaoxiong seemed to think for a moment, and then finally said, Wait a moment. Xu Jing hung up the phone, a smile appearing on her face. She sat silently on the couch, waiting. About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open. Mo Yaoxiong walked in leaning on his crutch, his left leg in a cast, indeed looking quite inconvenient to move. Xu Jing quickly stood up, Brother-in-law, hows your leg doing? Cut the crap, what do you want? Xu Jing bit her lip, Brother-in-law, I just want to care for you. Xu Jing! Mo Yaoxiong lowered his voice, Dont forget what you promised me! Xu Jing looked at him reproachfully and then she lowered her head, pulled a piece of paper out of her bag, and handed it over. Whats this? Mo Yaoxiong sounded annoyed and didnt even want to look at it. He had already asked Xiaoli to wait for him at the entrance. But feeling guilty, as well as being at the Mos, and with so many relatives in the adjacent living room, he just wanted to get the conversation over with and leave as soon as possible. Xu Jing said, Brother-in-law, this is my pregnancy test report. I went to a private hospital yesterday. The doctor said that its quite likely that Im carrying a boy. Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: 690, the blood flowing in Yebai is not yours Chapter 690: 690, the blood flowing in Yebai is not yours What are you talking about? Youre not even two months pregnant yet. That old doctor is very famous, hes able to determine the babys sex based on the conception date with an accuracy of ninety percent, many female celebrities go to him for early gender testing Nonsense! Mo Yaoxiong interrupts bluntly. Xu Jing holds onto his arm passionately, I agreed to have an abortion tomorrow, but when I found out that this baby might be a boy, I hesitated. She took a deep breath, I know its a big regret for you because my sister didnt give you a son! The Mo family has such a huge fortune, and theres no son to inherit it, thats why you adopted Yebai as your godson. But do you really want to hand your fortune over to him? Dont you want your own biological son? What the hell are you talking about? Mo Yaoxiong looks at her, looking baffled. Give me some more time. Xu Jing pleaded with him, One month! Just one month! Then we can do an amniocentesis to determine the gender, and if its not a boy, Ill have the surgery. I promise you, if the test shows that it really is a boy, I can have the baby and leave him in your care. I wont ask for anything, and I will keep a distance She considered her words very sincere, who knows Mo Yaoxiong suddenly pulls his arm away and scolds harshly, Xu Jing! Are you trying to make a deal with me? No, Im just thinking about whats best for you. Xu Jing spoke earnestly, You once told me weiyi doesnt have a business mindset or interest in commerce, and that the Mo Group is now left to Yebai to manage. But can you really trust him? Mo Yaoxiong looks at her, his expression gradually grows tense. Seeing him silent, Xu Jing continues to press, You can never know a persons mind completely. You can be good to Yebai, but it doesnt mean he feels the same for you! Hes just an adopted son. Can he really see the Mo family with true sincerity? I heard that the old man has always disliked him and has been very picky about him, resorting to punishment now and then. The marriage between Yiyi and him was forced upon him by the old man, could it be that he bears absolutely no resentment? For all these years, hes been called a son-in-law who lives off his wife, a gold-digger. How many men could tolerate such rumors? I also heard that his aunt and uncle have been asking for money from the Mo family for many years, but he ignores them. If he can be so ruthless to his blood relatives, what does he care about adoptive parents like you? Sir, arent you worried about any of this?. Its true, Yebai has made remarkable achievements since taking over Mo Group, but the more successful he is, the more dangerous it becomes! If one day he drains everything the Mo Group has, it will be too late to regret, and your family will have nothing left! Sir, please think about it carefully. Give me another month. Just one month. Oh! Her body was suddenly pushed. Xu Jing staggered back. She quickly reached for the table corner to keep from falling. Nevertheless, she hit the sharp edge of the table with her lower back. The severe pain made her face pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Xu Jing. Mo Yaoxiong approached her, his voice icy as if it had seeped into her bones, and there was a chilling look in his eyes. He said, I warn you not to play any tricks on me! Its for your sisters sake that I havent forced you to have the surgery! If you dare to do anything funny, believe me, I can have your pregnancy terminated now! Xu Jing shivered, a flicker of fear crossed her eyes. She mustered up courage ant wanted to question him, Why? What if the baby in my belly really is a boy I dont need it, even if it is! Xu Jing looks at him, too shocked to speak. Mo Yaoxiong warned again word by word, Be ready to have the surgery at 3 pm tomorrow. Otherwise, I cant guarantee what I will do! Having said these, he turns and leaves. Mo Yaoxiong left. In the study, Xu Jing sat there quietly. She clenched her fingers, looking utterly puzzled on her tense face. She didnt understand. Which man wouldnt like to have his own son? Especially the Mos, with such a huge fortune in their hands, they cant possibly be willing to let an adopted son with unknown background inherit it, can they? She went to a private hospital yesterday to get a fake pregnancy test that said she was very likely having a son. To her surprise, Mo Yaoxiong didnt even flinch. Her cell phone rang all of a sudden. Xu Jing picked it up and answered right away, Yiyi. Aunt, where are you? Uncle and his family are leaving. Xu Jing thought for a moment, Im coming over now. Okay. After hanging up the phone, she picked up her bag and left right away. As she expected. When she got outside, Xiaoli was standing at the door waiting. Miss Xu, the master asked me to take you home. Xu Jing smiled and said, OK. But I need to go to the living room and tell Uncles family first. Is that OK? Xiaoli could only nod, Yes, Ill go with you. Xu Jing nodded, her expression very normal. ** The two returned to the living room of the main house. It was past nine in the evening, and Mo Weiyi, with his arm around Xiao Yebai, was conversing with the elders. Upon seeing Xu Jing, he waved at her. Xu Jing walked over. Xiaoli looked on, then stood waiting at the door. When she arrived, Xu Jing exchanged pleasantries with a few elders before asking, Weiyi, where is the old gentleman? Grandfather went back to his room. Xu Jing said, Then Ill go find him, mom asked me to pass on a few words. Without giving it much thought, Mo Weiyi immediately instructed a servant, Aunt Zhou, why dont you take my auntie over. Okay. Once the two of them left, Xiao Yebai called for Shi Bo, Shi Bo, go and guard outside Grandfathers room. Though mildly confused, Shi Bo nodded and carried out the task. Several relatives were still chatting here. If it werent for Mrs. Xus birthday, it had been a long time since Mo Weiyi had seen these elder relatives from more distant branches of the family. Usually inactive, now with the absence of Mrs. Xu, and Mo Yaoxiong being unable to move about due to ill health, she had to take on the role of the host. After settling the accommodation and driver arrangements, and with most people having left, Mo Weiyi turned around, Why hasnt my aunt come out yet? Xiaoli at the door couldnt help but peek inside. At that moment, the door behind was suddenly thrust open, and Xu Jing rushed out from inside. Mo Weiyi was slightly taken aback. Shi Bo, standing nearby, appeared astonished. Xiao Yebai, however, only slightly narrowed his dark pupils. Something is terribly wrong, the old gentleman suddenly fainted! Xu Jing shouted. Upon hearing this, Xiaoli rushed in immediately. The old gentleman has fainted! Xu Jing was still shouting, What are you all still standing around for, quickly call an ambulance! Mo Weiyi finally grasped what was happening. She tried rushing over, but perhaps due to being overly anxious, she tripped. She nearly fell over. Fortunately, Xiao Yebai beside her promptly caught her arm. Mo Weiyi, intensely anxious, her eyes rimmed red, Quicktake me to see Grandpa She didnt even know how she ended up in the room. Upon entering, she saw the old Master Mo sitting in the Taishi Chair, eyes closed, head drooping as if unconscious. Master Shi Bo exclaimed in panic, The Master has fainted, come here, everyone! The room erupted into chaos. The servants who were initially outside preparing to clear the tableware from the two dining tables, now hearing the noise, all rushed over. Mo Weiyi stood there, her small face gone deathly pale, took quite a moment to recover from the shock. That was until Xiao Yebai walked over, bending his fingers to feel for the old Masters breath. The contours beneath the glasses appeared calm yet strikingly handsome. His voice, as ever, indifferent, Get the driver to prepare the car, call the hospital to prepare for an emergency. Alright, alright The servants promptly scurried off. Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelids and looked at Xu Jing. Suddenly meeting that pair of chilly pitch-black eyes, Xu Jings heart skipped a beat as she hastily explained, I was just talking to the old man, who knew that he would suddenly faint after a few words. I was scared, so I rushed out to call you all Ah! Before she could finish, the sound of a crisp slap resonated. Mo Weiyi stood in front of her, donned in a red dress, her exquisite and beautiful face displaying both elegance and anger, What did you say to my grandfather? Her voice quivered slightly, and her shoulder trembled minutely. The hand she just used to slap felt numb. Xu Jing, clutching her left cheek, pleaded with a tone full of grievance, I didnt say anything. I just asked him how his health was Liar! My grandfather has a heart condition. How could he suddenly faint if he wasnt provoked? I really didnt! Xu Jing sobbed, I swear to God, I only chatted with the old man for a bit. Weiyi, youre misunderstanding Mo Weiyi wanted to retort again, but she was held back by Xiao Yebai. Stop making a scene for now, getting Grandpa to the hospital is more important. Mo Weiyi bit her lip, her black and white cat eyes filled with mist, as she glared fiercely at Xu Jing. Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: 691, wants to kill her. Chapter 691: 691, wants to kill her. Shi Bo quickly carried Mo familys old master out to the car. Mo Weiyi didnt have time to lay blame; he followed Xiao Yebai and rushed to the hospital in the same car. The servants gossiped for a bit before they started to clean up the leftover dishes and cold soups on the table. The living room returned to its bustle, everything, it seems, was just as before. About half an hour later, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly entered, leaning heavily on his crutch. In the living room, Xu Jing was still sitting on the sofa, waiting. As soon as she saw him, she stood up immediately, Brother-in-law. You all leave. At Mo Yaoxiongs command, the servants looked at each other, then left the living room one by one. The vast living room still had a faint lingering aroma of wine. Aside from Xiaoli standing by the door, only Xu Jing and Mo Yaoxiong were left. The man, with a cold face and leaning on his crutch, walked step by step to her. He looked at Xu Jing. For tonights banquet celebrating the old ladys longevity, she wore a crescent-white cheongsam embroidered with pink lotus flowers. Her hair was curled, and her makeup was delicately light. But even like this, the slight red and swollen mark on her left cheek was clearly visible. Mo Yaoxiongs eyes flashed a cold and cruel light. He raised his hand and aimed at the imprint on her left cheek, and violently slapped her. With a crisp pop, the sound was loud and clear. The sound startled Xiaoli, who trembled. Xu Jings body was thrown to the right due to the force. She quickly reached out to hold onto the back of the sofa to prevent herself from falling. After regaining her balance, it took her a while before she slowly turned her face back. The left side of her face was now more visibly red and swollen than before. There was even a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. What are you doing? His voice seemed to come from the earths core, suppressed, deep, and incredibly calm. Xu Jing lifted her finger, wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth, smiled faintly, stood straight, and replied, Brother-in-law, Ive told the old master everything about us. Upon hearing these words, Mo Yaoxiong threw his crutch away. The loud clang, once again, startled Xiaoli. Mo Yaoxiong suddenly reached out both hands and grabbed Xu Jing by the collar of her clothes. Xu Jing! Dont think that just because youre Xu Xians sister, I wouldnt dare to touch you! He was so angry that he gripped her tightly, his veins popping, his knuckles whitening in intensity. Xu Jing grabbed his fingers, trying to pry them apart. But she couldnt. All she could do was say, Brother-in-law, its okay if you hurt me, but the old master already knows that Im pregnant with a boy. He is very happy. His excitement caused him to faint. Hes already eighty years old Mos family finally has a descendant. But if he woke up and found out that he had suddenly lost his great-grandson, his heart probably wouldnt be able to bear such a blow Xu Jing! Mo Yaoxiongs fingers viciously tightened. He looked at Xu Jing, this woman who had manipulated him over and over again. Hatred spread and intensified in his eyes, transforming into force applied to her neckline, choking her further. Watching her face gradually pale, watching her gasping for breath, a crazy idea flashed in Mo Yaoxiongs mind. Kill her! At this moment, he really wanted to kill her! Brotherin..law Fear rapidly grew in Xu Jings eyes. Panting heavily, with a hoarse voice, she exclaimed, Do you reallydo you really not want your own son! He is in mybellyeven ifyou dont wantdont you wantthe old masterto wantyou are too selfishthe old masterdoesnt have much time leftunfilial piety is the worst of all misdeedsespecially if it means no offspring Youre still talking! Mo Yaoxiongs eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly let go. A large gulp of fresh air was forcefully inhaled into her lungs. Just as Xu Jing was gasping, the hands that had released her instantly gripped her neck again, squeezing her throat tightly. Brother-in-law Xu Jing was shocked, she only managed to choke out part of her sentence, unable to say anything more. She opened her hands wide, trying desperately to break Mo Yaoxiongs grip. His face was rigid with color drained, his eyes locked on hers, he remained entirely still like a statue, only the fingers around her throat continually tightened the grip. The room was now filled only with the hoarse wheezing that came from deep within her throat. At first, it could be heard, but then, slowly, it became weaker Under this nearly silent atmosphere, a shrill ringtone suddenly sounded. Mo Yaoxiongs entire body shivered. As if he had jolted awake from a dream, he immediately released his grip. Once released, Xu Jings body fell back onto the sofa. She clutched her chest, panting heavily, mouth wide open as she gulped in air In the haze, she heard Mo Yaoxiong pick up the call. Yiyi, hows dad? Alright, I understand. As he hung up, Mo Yaoxiong looked down at Xu Jing. His eyes full of extreme hatred, but it was apparent that his earlier violence had subsided. Xiaoli, bring the car over. The gatekeeper, Xiaoli, promptly responded, Okay. Saying so, he hastily turned and ran off. He was truly close to being scared to death by the near-murder he had just witnessed. He knew that the Mo Family was involved in illegal activities, but since he started working for the family, honestly, aside from the omnipresent bodyguards throughout the mansion, everything else was no different from what is expected of the so-called elites. But just then Mo Yaoxiong nearly strangled Xu Jing to death! Hospital. In the corridor. Mo Weiyi put his phone down, Ive already informed dad to come. Uncle Yu, can we see Grandpa now? Just as he was about to walk in, Doctor Yu suddenly spoke up, Im sorry. Mo Weiyi looked at him puzzled. Xiao Yebai slightly narrowed his black eyes. Wearing an apologetic expression Doctor Yu said, The old man just stabilized after rescue, his mental state isnt good and his heart cant receive any more shocks. He only wants to say a few words with Mr. Mo. I suggest, princess, you go home for now, and wait till the old mans condition gets a bit better before you can visit him. Mo Weiyi blinked her cat-like eyes, Why can my Dad see him, and I cant? Cant I just peek inside? Im very worried about Grandpa Im sorry. Doctor Yu sighed, Its also the old mans wish. Mo Weiyi mopes, not being able to hide her disappointment. If thats the case then, thanks Uncle Yu. Xiao Yebai then spoke. Relieved, Doctor Yu replied, Thank you, Young Master Xiao for understanding. After Doctor Yu left, Xiao Yebai glanced at the nurses standing outside the door. A flicker of an obscure emotion passed through his deep, black eyes. His facial expression maintained its composure, as he instructed in a quiet voice, Shibo, arrange for a few people to keep watch here. If anything happens, call me immediately. Alright, Young Master Xiao. Xiao Yebai withdrew his gaze and took Weiyis arm, Lets head back. With no other option, Mo Weiyi turned and slowly followed the man into the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors shut, she immediately spun around, burying her face in his chest, with her little head bowed low. The cool and composed man lifted his arm to wrap it around her. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyis voice was low, filled with disappointment and confusion, Why wouldnt Grandpa see me? Im really worried about him, I just wanted to see how he was Didnt the doctor tell you? Grandpas mental state isnt good. Xiao Yebai replied in his cool and composed tone. Mo Weiyi didnt say anything, her little head not moving at all. It wasnt until the elevator arrived on the first floor that she didnt respond. Xiao Yebai casually mentioned, Weve arrived at the floor. It was only then that Mo Weiyi slowly moved away from his embrace, albeit tightly gripping his arm, with her downtrodden head she quietly followed him out, trailing behind him like a little tail. Once they got into the car, Rong An glanced at the back seat, and calmly started the car. Mo Weiyi sat on the backseat, leaning onto Xiao Yebais chest. Her eyes shut, she seemed to have fallen asleep. Upon their arrival at the Lishui Bay Villa, Xiao Yebai gently called, Weiyi. Mo Weiyi didnt respond. This time, she was genuinely asleep. Checking the time, it was already eleven at night It was long past her bedtime. After positioning her to sit comfortably against the seat, Xiao Yebai exited the car, walked around the back of the car to the other side, opened the door, bent down and carried her out. Beside the black Audi, Rong An quietly stood by the car door, watching the two walk into the villa before returning to his drivers seat, and drove off. Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: 692, The Sixteen-Year-Olds Nightmare Chapter 692: 692, The Sixteen-Year-Olds Nightmare Mo Weiyis bedtime is at 10 oclock every day. This has been her routine since she graduated from high school. Being a princess is not an easy task. It not only requires diligent care and maintenance daily but also a scientific sleep schedule. Moreover, interning at a law firm is boring and tiring. After a week of printing and hole-punching, and staying up so late today, Mo Weiyi is genuinely exhausted. Even when Xiao Yebai was bathing her, she was half-asleep. As soon as her face touched the pillow, she closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly. Xiao Yebai placed a thin blanket over her body. He then turned and left the bedroom. About ten minutes later, the man returned to the bedroom, but this time with a laptop in his hands. Once the bedroom door was closed, he went and sat on a sofa in a small hall on one side. The entire bedroom was dimly lit, with only a wall lamp casting white light near the sofa, cutting a mysterious shadow from the tall figure of the man. Xiao Yebai was reviewing the data on the computer. His handsome profile, sharp without glasses, and tight lips appeared exceptionally stern and austere. A huffy sixteen-year-old Mo Weiyi returned to her princess room. Xiao Yebai had just returned from the American Institute for the New Year. She had kindly offered him a chicken leg at dinner, but he simply put down his chopsticks and said he was full. Then, she took her homework to him, but he sat behind his desk and completely ignored her. Frustrating! Mo Weiyi dismissed all the servants and went to bed after a bath. So upset, she even forgot to close the floor-length windows. Her villa was located in the center of the four villas of the old mansion, a slightly retrospective European-style castle. It was said that it was designed and built shortly after her birth, bursting with the style of a European castle. Naturally, the princess of the Mo family lived there. But the princess couldnt get the boy she liked the most. Lying in bed, Mo Weiyi was thinking about Xiao Yebai, and she dozed off. Until a thunderclap jolted her awake. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was a flash of light outside the window. Scared, she quickly grabbed the blanket and curled up her entire body. The sound of the wind blowing audibly outside, accompanying the continuous thunderclaps. Was it going to rain? Mo Weiyi closed her eyes again, intending to go back to sleep, when suddenly Thud, thud, thud It sounded like someone was walking outside. Mo Weiyi opened her distinctively black-and-white cat eyes and turned towards the direction of the door inside the blanket. The room was completely dark, and the door was closed, but the sound seemed to be getting closer, one after another until it stopped right outside the door. Just when Mo Weiyi was getting nervous, suddenly, another blast of thunder resounded outside the window. Ah Mo Weiyi screamed in fright. The room was instantly bathed in a white light. Simultaneously, the sound of the door lock being turned could be heard, and then the door was pushed open. Mo Weiyi jolted up from bed. Looking at the woman who entered the room, she opened her eyes wide, her mouth hanging open, and exclaimed in surprise, Mother? Xu Xian, dressed in a white yarn nightgown, with her black hair cascading down, emotionlessly came to the bedside. Mother? Mo Weiyi stared at her, surprised. She hadnt seen Xu Xian for a long time. Her grandfather had told her that Xu Xian was ill and was recuperating in the West Garden Villa. No one was allowed to disturb her, not even herself. Mo Weiyi was slightly excited about this. Because her grandfather and father were particularly fond of her, they agreed to whatever she wanted to do, and also what she didnt want to do. Only Xu Xian was exceptionally strict with her and could become inexplicably irritable. The most obvious example was that she insisted on Mo Weiyi practicing piano. Since Mo Weiyi became sensible, she had to practice the piano, which always made Xu Xian unusually agitated. If she made one wrong note, Xu Xian would start berating her for not being dedicated, lacking talent, not working hard enough, not as talented as Qu Yunyao And so on. After enduring this for a long time, Mo Weiyi began to despise playing the piano. The more she despised it, the less she practiced, and the less she practiced, the more mistakes she made. This vicious cycle finally struck Xu Xian one day, and in a fury, she kicked Mo Weiyi out of the piano room. Ever since that day, it seemed as if Xu Xian had fallen ill; she lived alone in the West Garden Villa behind. So now, was her mother here to get her to practice the piano? Mo Weiyi felt a bit uneasy in her heart, Mother, its so late, you Weiyi, do you want to leave with mother? Xu Xian abruptly interrupted her. Mo Weiyi asked, Go where? Mother doesnt want to live here anymore, mother wants to go abroad, will you go with me? Mo Weiyi blinked, her expression confused and clueless, Why? Xu Xian sat down at the side of the bed, her lips slowly hooking up into a smile, her voice and laughter seeming somewhat ethereal, Just the two of us, mother will take you away now, okay? We wont live here anymore, and well have nothing to do with anyone from the Mo family, okay? With that, she reached out to lift the blanket. Mo Weiyi shrank back frantically, grabbing onto the blanket and not letting go, No! I dont want to! Why dont you want to? The smile on Xu Xians face disappeared. Mo Weiyi looked at her and blurted out, Because I want to be with Xiaobai! I havent won Xiaobai over yet! Xiaobai? Xu Xian stared at her, her eyes gradually becoming complicated, You want Xiaobai, dont you want your mother anymore? I Weiyi, dont you know? This is all your fathers lies. As Xu Xian spoke, she suddenly reached out to grab Mo Weiyis shoulders, mumbling incessantly as if shed been triggered, Weiyi, your father is really heartless, really heartless, hes a liar, hes a liar, Weiyi, I want to take you away, Weiyi Mo Weiyi was very scared; she wanted to run away, but she couldnt. Xu Xian pulled her down like a madwoman, dragging her outside. A thunderbolt flashed across the window, illuminating Xu Xians insane and ferocious face Mo Weiyi wanted to scream for help, but despite opening her mouth, she couldnt make a sound. Her head was throbbing terribly, panic engulfing her entire body. All she could do was struggle furiously, letting out low whimpers from her mouth. Weiyi! Weiyi! Weiyi! Mo Weiyi shook her head frantically until a light shot past her eyes. Finally, she opened her eyes and stared at the familiar handsome face before her. After a moment, she spoke in a daze, Xiaobai? Had a nightmare? Xiao Yebai raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead. The warm, real touch seemed to have a calming effect, and Mo Weiyi finally returned to reality. She immediately sat up. The thin blanket slid off her body, and her slender hands clung to him tightly, her whole body curving against him. Xiaobai, Im scared The woman was trembling incessantly, still seemingly soaked in the extreme fear. Xiao Yebai lowered his head, his voice was low and gentle, Did you dream about your mother again? Apart from the incident with Xu Xian, Mo Weiyis life in the past twenty years had been smooth and simple. Every time she had a nightmare, it could only be for this reason. As expected, Mo Weiyi nodded fiercely. Xiao Yebai didnt say anything else and continued soothingly stroking her delicate back, trying to calm her restless emotions. After what felt like an eternity, Mo Weiyis voice finally sounded again, Xiaobai, where did you go just now? The mans eyes flickered slightly, and then Xiao Yebai replied, Im sorry, I was reading material on the couch. Mo Weiyi said, I just dreamt about my mother. I know. Xiaobai. Mo Weiyis voice was hoarse, Will anything happen to grandpa? Xiao Yebai reassured in a low voice, No, didnt Uncle Yu just say that grandpa was only temporarily shocked, and they have already revived him. I will take you to see him tomorrow. But Mo Weiyi asked again, Then will grandpa suddenly leave me like mother did? Xiao Yebai lowered his head. Birth, old age, sickness, and death were all natural. Yet given the current situation, he still said the words, No. Mo Weiyi seemed reassured, her face rubbing against his chest as she asked, What about you, will you suddenly leave me? Xiao Yebai looked down, again answering, No. Mo Weiyi curled her lips, Xiaobai, I want you to hold me and sleep. Okay. Xiao Yebai reached to turn off the light and then lay down. Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: 693, seems to have a bit of a fever. Chapter 693: 693, seems to have a bit of a fever. Waking up the next day, Mo Weiyis head was foggy, as if jarred by a nightmare. She barely made an attempt to sit upright before collapsing back onto the bed. Wrapping herself tightly in a thin quilt, she just lay there, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom. After a while, the sound finally stopped, and the tall, aloof man emerged. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Yebai placed his well-defined hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. As expected. Seems like you have a bit of a fever. Instantly, Mo Weiyi knitted her delicate face in frustration. No wonder she felt uncomfortable all over. She asked, Xiaobai, what time is it? Xiao Yebai glanced at the time. Nine twenty. Nine twenty already? Mo Weiyi quickly said, I want to visit grandpa in hospital. I just spoke to Uncle Shi on the phone, he said grandpa woke up this morning in good spirits and even had a bowl of millet porridge. It should be nothing serious. Still, I want to see him. Mo Weiyi reaffirmed. Xiao Yebai looked at her. Her face was reddened, possibly due to her fever, and she had hardly any energy. Her thin lips pressed slightly together, he said, First, take some antipyretics. Okay. Mo Weiyi immediately agreed. Xiao Yebai quickly got up and left, returning shortly with a glass of water and two small white pills in his hand. Mo Weiyi gulped down the medicine with his help, took a sip of water, got up and put on some comfortable loose clothes, then went to the bathroom for a quick wash. When she returned to the bedroom and saw the handsome man before the mirror, she couldnt resist walking over and embracing him from behind. Having a fever really felt awful, sapping all her strength leaving her feeling dazed. I feel sleepy Fastening the buttons on his shirt, Xiao Yebai looked down at the woman clinging to him. He gently stroked her long, soft hair with his well-defined fingers, his voice was soft and low, The medicine I gave you is supposed to make you sleepy. Mo Weiyi just groaned in response. No wonder she felt so heavy-eyed. How about going to the hospital this afternoon, if you cant hold on? Mo Weiyi shook her head, Id rather visit the hospital first and come back for a sleep. Finishing her phrase, she raised her head, propped her chin on his shoulder, her cat-like eyes twinkling with a mischievous smile, In any case, youre with me. If I happen to fall asleep in a bit, remember to carry your wife back home for bed! Xiao Yebai: It was slightly overcast in Nancheng today, so there was no sun and the temperature was rather cool. After breakfast, the pair set off for the hospital. Rong An usually went back to the old house on weekends, so unless his service was required, Xiao Yebai would be the one to drive. Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, looking lifeless. She didnt even put any makeup on today, just applying lipsticks to make her face look better. Upon reaching the hospital, they bought a bouquet of flowers and directly headed to Old Mr. Mos ward. By coincidence, the ward was on the same floor as Shi Huans room, both were top-ranking VIP rooms. The corridor was very quiet, with only a few nurses bustling about. Two bodyguards stood at the entrance of Old Mr. Mos room. Seeing Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi approaching, they greeted, Princess, young master Xiao. Though Mo Weiyi nodded in recognition, she was stopped as she attempted to go inside. Im sorry, Princess, young master Xiao, you cant go in there right now. Mo Weiyi asked, Why not? Xiao Yebai also frowned. After exchanging a glance with each other, one bodyguard said, Mr. Mo and Ms. Xu are discussing something inside. My dad and my aunt? Mo Weiyis pretty brows furrowed slightly, So what? Why cant Xiaobai and I go in? The bodyguard looked conflicted and said, Its Mr. Mos order, he said that no one was allowed in, anyone. Upon hearing this, while Xiao Yebais face was still expressionless, Mo Weiyi could no longer hold in her anger. Her pretty face turned cold instantly and her voice became furious, What does that mean? My grandfather is in the hospital and I, his own granddaughter, am not allowed to see him? Having already worried about not seeing her grandpa the previous night and then having nightmares, she dragged her feverish body to visit him today only to be told she wasnt allowed to see him. This was beyond frustrating. Without another word, she reached out to push the door open. The two bodyguards were flustered but didnt dare act against the Little Princess of the Mo Family. They desperately tried to block and appease her. Princess, please dont put us in this difficult position. It truly is the masters order, we couldnt have done otherwise. Princess The commotion quickly reached the ward, and soon after the sound of footsteps, the ward door was opened. Mo Yaoxiong, leaning on his walking stick, came out. Whats going on? The two bodyguards hastily lowered their heads. Mo Weiyi asked angrily, Dad, what are you and Auntie doing in there? Why wont they let me in to see Grandpa? Mo Yaoxiong frowned deeply and immediately scolded the bodyguards, You bastards! How do you do your jobs? The bodyguards: Alright, when I said I dont want others to disturb us, I didnt mean her. She can come in. Mo Yaoxiong added. Mo Weiyi glared at the two bodyguards and immediately went inside. Upon entering the room, she immediately rushed to the bedside, Grandpa, youre okay, right? The old patriarch, half-sat in a hospital gown at the head of the bed, draped in a dark sweater, his aged face slightly pallid, but he seemed spirited. Especially when he saw his beloved granddaughter, he broke into a happy smile, Yiyi is here. Then he frowned immediately, Why do you look so pale? Mo Weiyi sat down by the bed, her voice pitiful as she held the old mans hand, I was worrying about you last night and didnt sleep when you took ill. I even have a little fever now. Fever? Is it serious? Ive already taken some fever reducer. Silly girl, your health matters most. I know you worry about me, but dont worry. My health is quite good. Im alright. The old patriarch smiled warmly, Have you eaten breakfast yet? I have. Grandpa, Xiao Yebai also came over at this time and called out softly. The old patriarch looked at him and frowned immediately, How are you taking care of Yiyi? Are you neglecting her more and more? When Yiyi used to live in the old house, she was always well. Ever since getting married, its either injuries or minor illnesses Grandpa. Mo Weiyi shook his hand, coquettishly interjected, What does this have to do with Xiaobai? Its my fault for being careless. The old patriarch took his eyes off him, You foolish girl, always defending him! No, really, I was just so worried about you last night and had a nightmare The old patriarch sighed, Then its my fault. Dont worry, Im alright now. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest. Okay. Mo Weiyi nodded. Xiao Yebai took a seat on the sofa behind. For a moment, the only sound in the ward was the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter. After a few minutes, Xu Jing, who had been silently sitting in a corner, suddenly got up. Now that Yiyi and Yebai are here, I should be going. Sir, please take care of yourself The old patriarch looked at her, Hmm. Xu Jing looked at Mo Weiyi again, Yiyi, Yebai, Ill be leaving first. Mo Weiyi looked up, her catlike eyes glaring at her openly, Are you here to apologize to my grandpa? If not for you last night, would my grandpa have fainted? And now you have the nerve to show up? Xu Jing frowned, Yiyi, as I said, I was genuinely concerned about the old mans health. If youre still angry, then go ahead and keep hitting me. Hearing this, Mo Weiyi sprang up, You think I wont hit you? As she spoke, she was about to go over and hit her. But after only two steps, her arm was grabbed. Xiao Yebai advised in a low voice, Please dont quarrel in the ward. The patriarch on the side frowned deeply, Yiyi, what happened last night has nothing to do with your Auntie. Grandpa, stop covering for her. If she hadnt come to bother you, how could you have fainted? Sigh. The patriarch sighed, My body is not what it used to be, and I had a bit of alcohol last night. Your Auntie really didnt play a big role in it. Mo Weiyi remained silent. The old patriarch instructed, Xu Jing, you should go home now. Okay. Xu Jing quickly stepped out. Unknown to them, the patriarch instructed again, Yaoxiong, arrange a driver to send Xu Jing home. Mo Weiyi immediately widened her eyes. Once Xu Jing had left, she could not help but ask, Grandpa, why are you still being so nice to Auntie? I told you it has nothing to do with her. The patriarch frowned, Besides, no matter what, shes your aunt and your elder. Were all family. How can you resort to violence so easily? Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: 694, he wont scold you if you take a leave. Chapter 694: 694, he wont scold you if you take a leave. Im just worried about you. Mo Weiyi said, almost in tears, Do you understand how scared you made me last night? Looking at his granddaughters perfect, flaw-free face, Lord Mo was slightly touched and sighed, I know youre worried about me, but no matter what, you shouldnt resort to hitting people, should you? What if He suddenly stopped talking. The room fell quiet. Mo Weiyi was puzzled and couldnt help but ask him, What if? Lord Mo smiled, changing the subject, Just before, you said you were feeling a bit feverish, do you want to see a doctor downstairs? Maybe get an IV drip? Dont let it get worse later. No need, Mo Weiyi immediately declined, Ive already taken fever medicine. I should be fine after a nap. Thats a relief. After a while, Mo Yaoxiong returned. Lord Mo spoke, Yebai, take Yiyi home to rest. I have servants taking care of me here. Theres no need to worry too much. Xiao Yebai stood, Alright. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to leave with him. With the door closed, only the father and son were left in the room. Lord Mos calm, elderly voice spoke up immediately, Find more people to keep an eye on Xu Jing. Find a reliable person from the hospital. As soon as shes far enough along, well arrange for an amniocentesis. Father, Mo Yaoxiongs brow furrowed, Is there really any need for all this? Yebai has been performing exceptionally at work, he treats Weiyi very well, and hes always been filial to us, so I think What do you think? What do you understand? Lord Mo suddenly interrupted him, Do you know why I have never given Yebai a share of Mo Group after all these years? Mo Yaoxiong did not speak. Lord Mo, by nature, was suspicious. Even when his own son was managing Mo Group, he firmly held onto the shares. Mo Groups shares were currently split between three people. Excluding the other shareholders, Lord Mo owned the largest share, followed by Mo Yaoxiong and Mo Weiyi. Upon returning from America, Xiao Yebai, as a son-in-law, began working from scratch at Mo Group. Although he had an outstanding performance and quick promotions, he was still at the mercy of others and was somewhat controversial in the company. It wasnt until Mo Weiyi unexpectedly became pregnant with his child when she was 23 that Lord Mo immediately ordered them to get married and advanced Xiao Yebais position to that of CEO. And, for that reason, despite Xiao Yebais significant contribution to the increase in Mo Groups share price over the past two years, some outsiders attributed it to him using a woman to move up in the world. Father, Mo Yaoxiong spoke up again, Ive checked, through blood tests in Hong Kong we can determine DNA Nonsense! Lord Mo glared fiercely, Shes only two months pregnant. What if she has a miscarriage? Can you bear that responsibility? Mo Yaoxiong was speechless once again. If it werent for your foolishness, getting involved with your young auntie, would I have to worry about all these arrangements? Do you think Im doing all this for myself? Lord Mos voice, full of old age, became filled with emotion, My life may end any day now. What am I after? Im only concerned about the Mo Familys business! Im worried about you and Yiyi! Yiyi is so naive, can you guarantee that Yebai will always be good to her? If one day you and I are no longer here and Yebai turns out to be a traitor, do you think Yiyi can handle him? If no one is there to protect her, she probably wont even be enough for him to play with using just one hand! Thats why the Mo Family really needs an heir! We didnt have one before and that was fine, but now that we do, even if theres only a one in ten thousand chance, we must keep it! Mo Yaoxiong looked at his father, noticing his fingers were white from gripping his cane tightly. He wanted to say something, but decided against it, Actually, Father Lord Mo raised his hand to stop him, If it turns out to be a girl, abort it immediately! If its a boy, find a place for Xu Jing to give birth, after the baby is born, send her overseas and never let her come back! This matter is settled. Before that, you are not to act rashly, restrict all information. Yiyi should not hear a word about this! After saying all this, Lord Mo closed his eyes out of exhaustion. The room fell into a silence. Mo Yaoxiong sat there, a mix of complex emotions on his face. Finally, he spoke, I understand. Leave. Alright. Mo Yaoxiong got up, hobbling out on his crutches. ** Next door, in another hospital room. Mo Weiyi thought since she was in the hospital, she might as well visit Shi Huan. Thankfully, there were only two servants in the room. Wheres the young master Chu? After asking, Mo Weiyi immediately complained, Has he gone out to flirt now that youve agreed to marry him? This playboy, let me tell you, its not too late to regret it now. Do not fall into the trap! No, Shi Huan couldnt help but laugh, He took Luoluo to the amusement park. Previously, there hadnt been much of a connection between Shi Minyan and Tu Youran and they were both busy with their work, so Luoluo was essentially being cared for by nannies, rarely going out to play. But then Chu Xiuhuang suddenly got a beautiful five-year-old daughter, and he was gloating every day. It happened to be the weekend, and they had a nanny at the hospital, so nothing bad could happen. He gave the father and daughter some time to play and get to know each other better, to strengthen their bond. Thats good. Mo Weiyi nodded, Have you remembered anything about what happened six years ago? Shi Huan had previously mentioned that she lost some memory due to a brain injury. So, nobody knew how these two got together, and the Chu Family only said they had been together for six years. Mo Weiyi didnt believe this at all. Shi Huan explained, The doctor said I have a blood clot in my brain thats compressing a nerve. If I think too much, it gives me headaches. They advised me to take it easy and that it would eventually sort itself out. Right, you should just follow the doctors advice. Anyway, if Chu ever cheats, just tell me, and I will give him hell! Shi Huan: .. Xiao Yebai nearby also: .. By the way, you can also tell Wanwan to let Mr. Huo take care of him! Xiao Yebai got up straight away, Im going to make a call. Okay. Xiao Yebai closed the room door, went into the hallway outside, and looked at the message that Zhan Yao had sent on his phone. Before long, there were footsteps in the corridor. When he looked up, he saw Mo Yaoxiong, leaning on a crutch, exit from the hospital room ahead. Watching the mans hobbling figure, Xiao Yebai frowned slightly before dialing a number. Yebai, did you read all the messages? Yeah. The guy surnamed Zhou has been caught, but your uncles money is definitely gone. Even the factory they invested in has been sealed. Yeah. They invested a total of 5 million, all of which came from Mo Yaoxiong last time. This time all of it got invested and I heard the house deed was also attached, so your uncle and his family are now living in rented accommodation. Yeah. After three consecutive replies of Yeah, Zhan Yao was quite annoyed, Damn you, show some reaction. Nothing, I need to hang up. Damn, is that it? My wife has a fever. As soon as he said that, Zhan Yao immediately caught on, Then quickly take the little princess to get treatment. Ill keep an eye on the situation in Tongcheng Xiao Yebai hung up the phone straight away. ** One hour later, the couple found themselves back at home. Because Mo Weiyi suddenly remembered she hadnt yet completed the homework Lu Chenyu had assigned. After two messy case analyses last week, Lu Chenyu arranged for her to watch a law program on Nancheng TV this week. She needed to watch 10 episodes and write reviews for each one. Each episode was 30 minutes long and shed already wasted half the weekend without watching a single one. With work coming up on Monday, how could she go to the hospital for an IV drip? Anyway, shed already taken fever-reducing medicine, she should be fine, right? So, when Mo Weiyi returned home, she spent the afternoon in bed watching the show, even continuing to watch after having dinner. When Xiao Yebai arrived back in the room, he found Mo Weiyi flushed with a serious fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius. To the hospital. Xiao Yebai pulled off the blanket, picked her up and headed out. With a delirious look on her face, Mo Weiyi touched her hot forehead and mumbled, But I still havent finished my homework yet? My master is going to scold me tomorrow Take the day off tomorrow. Huh? Mo Weiyi stammered. If you take the day off, he wont scold you. Mo Weiyi: .. That sounded reasonable. By the time Mo Weiyi found herself on a hospital bed for an IV drip, Xiao Yebai was on her phone, using it to call her master and ask for a day off. Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: 695, Proud Little Princess Chapter 695: 695, Proud Little Princess When Mo Weiyi was lying in the hospital bed receiving an intravenous drip, Xiao Yebai held her mobile phone and called her master to ask for a leave. At that time, it was already eight oclock in the evening. The homebody, Lu Chenyu, was sitting in the living room playing Honor of Kings when a notification suddenly popped up on the screen Incoming call from Mo Weiyi. Naturally, Lu Chenyu impatiently rejected the call. He was in the middle of a game! And both teams had lost all three lanes, with only one crystal left, it was the most critical moment! However, just when he was about to pursue a weak enemy, Mo Weiyis call came through again. Lu Chenyu rejected it again, and in the games voice chat, one teammate asked, Why didnt you finish off that enemy Yu Ji? She had barely any health left. Without missing a beat, Lu Chenyu responded, Some idiot keeps calling me. Teammate: Okay. Indeed, it was very disruptive to get interrupted by annoying calls while playing a game! Soon, another intense group fight broke out. Zhang Fei was taking damage in the front line, and the other teammates were also keeping up, but, after a mutual exchange of skills, all teammates were wiped out. There were three enemies left, all with low health. And Lu Chenyus Achang was just the assassin to finish off those with low health! It was his time! Hes coming to the stage now! Lu Chenyu targeted all three enemies with his heros ultimate ability, only to remain dumbfounded when Mo Weiyis call came in again! As he quickly hung up and switched back to the game, the screen went black, and his hero, Achang, had died. All of his team was wiped out, the crystal was soon destroyed, and they lost the match. Lu Chenyu: Mo Weiyis call came in again! Why are you calling me? You called four times in a row! Do you have any idea I almost died? Before Xiao Yebai could speak, Lu Chenyu quickly questioned again, You better give me a good reason! Right now! Immediately! If Im not satisfied, dont bother coming to work tomorrow! There was silence on the other end of the call. Lu Chenyu coughed lightly, about to scold again. Do you need me to call an ambulance? A very cold, deep male voice resonated in the earpiece. Lu Chenyu felt a jolt. Wait! Who is this? He quickly changed his tone, Oh, its Mr. Xiao. What can I do for you? His tone was completely opposite to the previous anger, it became extremely respectful? Xiao Yebai said blandly, Im sorry, Weiyi suddenly got a fever and isnt feeling well. She wants to take a sick leave for a day. Alright. Lu Chenyu agreed very quickly, But isnt a one-day sick leave too short? Will a week be enough? Xiao Yebai: A fever isnt a small illness. Ive checked the weather forecast. The temperature difference in Nancheng is quite drastic these days, you need to take care of your health. If one week isnt enough, take two weeks, if two weeks arent enough, take one month. Take your time to recuperate, take care of your health. No need. Xiao Yebai replied in his usual cold tone, One day is sufficient. Mr. Xiao, you dont have to be so polite. Lu Chenyu chuckled. Hospital. When Xiao Yebai returned to the ward, Mo Weiyi immediately asked him, Did you manage to get the leave? Did my master scold me? No, he told you to rest well. Really? Mo Weiyi looked at him suspiciously. He didnt scold her? On the contrary, he told her to rest well? Is he that kind? Yes. Xiao Yebais face and tone were very calm, not like he was lying. Mo Weiyi: Why does she find it unbelievable? She didnt do her homework and asked for leave, but Lu Chenyu didnt scold her? Is it raining blood from the sky? In reality. Mo Weiyi requesting leave did indeed make Lu Chenyu very happy. The next morning. When he got to the law firm, he intentionally paused when passing by the assistants office and glanced inside. Seeing Mo Weiyis empty seat, he felt a surge of happiness. The plague has finally not come to work. He could talk less today. Mr. Lu, do you have any instructions? Old Wang had already stood up. Lu Chenyu looked at him, his thin lips curving up in satisfaction, No. After speaking, he left in high spirits, leaving Old Wang standing there, feeling at a loss. Oh my gosh! Did Lawyer Lu just smile at him? It was simply too shocking! Having been an assistant for five years, this was the first time he saw the normally expressionless Lawyer Lu smile! Lu Chenyu even called his close friend to report the news, The Little Princess didnt come to work today. There was a clear note of excitement in his voice. Chu Xiuhuang naturally caught onto it, Oh, so the Little Princess finally couldnt hold up? Just as he was about to congratulate his friend. No. Lu Chenyu sighed deeply, Xiao called me last night, said she had a fever. Although I suspect she was lying, she probably just didnt want to work. Hmm. Chu Xiuhuang agreed, Once she gets away with it once, theres always a second time. Today she has a fever, tomorrow she needs to go back to school, the day after the pipes at her house burst, and the next shell have a wedding to attend So I gave her a week off. Lu Chenyu added, To save her the trouble of making up excuses. Chu Xiuhuang: ... This master is really too thoughtful! ** As expected, at around eight oclock the next morning, Lu Chenyu received another call from Mo Weiyi. Master, good morning. That moment, Lu Chenyu was in the kitchen making a healthy breakfast for himself, one hand holding a sharp kitchen knife and the other holding his phone, Whats up? I suddenly received a call from the class leader, saying that everyone has to go back to school today to discuss some event, so I need to take another day off. Okay. Lu Chenyu agreed very readily. Mo Weiyi was somewhat nervous, Master, Im sorry for taking two days off in a row, but rest assured, Ill immediately send you the homework you assigned me when I get back to the law firm. No rush. Then goodbye, Master? Goodbye. After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenyu cheerfully cut his toast in half. ** Nancheng University. Having just recovered from a major illness and not having returned to school for a long time, Mo Weiyi was in a good mood today. After meeting with professors and classmates in the morning, she called Su Wanwan to have lunch together at noon. When the time came, Mo Weiyi arrived at the cafeteria, and from a distance, she saw another girl standing next to Su Wanwan. Wanwan. Bai Ruwei pleaded, Im really helpless, cant you help me persuade Zhexi? How can I persuade him? Thats between you two. Su Wanwan felt helpless. As soon as she got back to Nancheng yesterday, she received a call from Bai Ruwei, who said that Huo Zhexi suddenly moved out of his home and rented a house to live with her! Bai Ruwei asked her to persuade Huo Zhexi not to let personal feelings affect his relationship with his parents, claiming she couldnt convince him herself. But Zhexi doesnt listen to me at all. Besides you, I dont know anyone else from the Huo Family. Wanwan, I beg you, can you help convince him? I really dont want Mr. and Mrs. Huo to think it was my idea, I really didnt. Su Wanwan looked at Bai Ruwei, I really cant help with this. First of all, I dont like meddling in other peoples affairs, and as a younger generation, its not my place to intervene. Second. She said, word for word, Im really busy. I just got back from my internship yesterday, and now I have to edit footage, write copy, and string together voice-overs every day. I have to complete a finished program in 10 days. After that, I have to prepare my graduation thesis and the continuation of my internship at the TV station. You should be quite busy too, right? Have you figured out the direction of your graduation thesis? Have you found an internship? Have you decided where youre going to work in the future? Bai Ruwei was somewhat stunned. Wanwan. Mo Weiyis voice rang out in time. Su Wanwan immediately said, My friend is here, were going to eat, see you. ** Once they got upstairs in the cafeteria and settled down, Mo Weiyi asked her curiously, What did Bai Ruwei want with you? Shes dating Huo Zhexi, and Zhexi even moved out of his familys house to live with her. Really? Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, Wow, it looks like theyre really in love! Su Wanwan: ... She wasnt sure if they were really in love, but one thing was certain: Mingzhu must be furious! But regarding this matter, Su Wanwan really didnt want to get involved. She picked up the menu to order, enjoying her moment of peace, until they were interrupted again. Wow, what a coincidence? Mo Weiyi looked up, Ling Zhizhou? Ling Zhizhou had already walked over and politely greeted her, Hello, senior Su. Su Wanwan nodded at him then continued ordering. The two of them began chatting. Senior, I heard youre interning at Yurui Law Firm? Yes. Ive heard the law firm is very famous and their requirements are particularly strict. Its very difficult for ordinary people to get in. Its been alright? Su Wanwan immediately glanced at Mo Weiyi. That girl, getting all smug? Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: 696, who made me as beautiful as a flower, loved by everyone? Chapter 696: 696, who made me as beautiful as a flower, loved by everyone? So, Ling Zhizhou continued to praise, Sister, you getting into Yurui Law Firm is really impressive. I heard from my classmates that this law firm has branches all over the country, and as long as a case is assigned to them, the success rate is almost over ninety percent! Nearly all of the top lawyers chosen every year are from Yurui, especially that Lu Lu Are you referring to Lu Chenyu? Mo Weiyi kindly reminded him. Yes, Attorney Lu is Nanchengs top lawyer, and he has been practicing since he was twenty years old, not a single lost case in his five years of practice, his win rate is one hundred percent! Mo Weiyi then smiled proudly, He is my master. Su Wanwan: Lu Chenyu is your master? Ling Zhizhou opened his eyes wide, Sister, you are really amazing! Being the apprentice of Nanchengs top lawyer, you will become Nanchengs top female lawyer in the future! Of course! Looking at the two of them, Su Wanwan said, One is blowing things out of proportion, the other is flattering excessively, why dont you two just become a duo of comedians? Ling Zhizhou looked somewhat embarrassed. Mo Weiyi snorted, full of pride, Im not exaggerating, Lu Chenyu is indeed my master! Sister, you guys eat slowly, I have something to do and need to leave first. Ling Zhizhou suddenly said. Wait a minute. Su Wanwan stopped him, Didnt you come to eat? Why are you leaving without having your meal? Ling Zhizhou obviously paused for a moment, then smiled and said, I came to see someone. Su Wanwan: Once Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan asked, Have you been in contact with him a lot recently? Who? Ling Zhizhou. Not much. Really? Mo Weiyi nodded, I have been interning at the law firm recently and have not been coming to school. Since Valentines Day, Ling Zhizhou has not called her. He must be busy with his studies as well. As for her, internship at the law firm is strenuous and exhausting, plus there are a lot of things going on at home. On top of that, Xiao Yebai has told her multiple times to stay away from Ling Zhizhou. Although Mo Weiyi feels that Ling Zhizhou is just an innocent younger schoolmate and they are just normal friends, there is no need to keep a distance, but since Xiao Yebai had said so, she wouldnt want to cause a dispute with her husband over a small matter. So, subconsciously, she wouldnt take the initiative to look for Ling Zhizhou. Su Wanwan said, Thats good, Ive always felt that something is off about Ling Zhizhou. What do you mean? Mo Weiyi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for herself and Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan took the tea cup and spoke seriously, He seems overly enthusiastic about you. Hearing that, Mo Weiyi immediately grinned, What can I do? Im beautiful, loved by everyone. If people want to be nice to me, what can I do? Su Wanwan: ** On the other hand, as soon as Ling Zhizhou left the cafeteria, he immediately dialed a number. Whats wrong now? The mans voice on the other end of the phone was lazy and indifferent. What are you doing with Weiyi? What do you mean? I asked earlier, and she really is interning at Yurui. You intentionally work in a Securities company near Yurui, and yet you claim you are not trying to get close to her! And what if I am? The man laughed quietly, By the way, since you called me, theres something I wanted to ask you. How come the Little Princess hasnt been showing up for work these past couple of days? She wasnt there at lunch either. Could you call and ask if she is injured, or sick? Clasping the phone firmly in his hand, Ling Zhizhou objected, I warn you, stay away from her. But I have been eating lunch with her in this fast food restaurant for a week straight. We just didnt sit together, and she had no idea. Also, I have taken many pictures of her. Lowering his voice, the man continued, The Little Princess is really beautiful; white skin, tall, and she wears different clothes every day. Her figure is stunning, everything looks good on her. Its such a waste not to be a model You are not to touch her! Ling Zhizhou blurted out angrily. This immediately made the man on the other end burst into a ghostly laugh. Ling Zhizhou wanted to say something, but with a click the call was hung up. In the midday sun, he stood there, clenching his right hand around his phone in anger, his hand turning pale then blue. Suddenly, his phone rang again. Ling Zhizhou picked up the phone; the man had sent several photos. In one photo, Mo Weiyi was wearing a navy-blue professional suit, sitting there eating. One after another. From all angles, front view, side view, her back, a frown, a smile They were the kind of pictures a stalker would take. Finally, Ling Zhizhou couldnt control himself anymore. He violently smashed his phone on the ground. ** Half an hour later. After finishing lunch, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan left the canteen. They had only walked a few steps when they saw Ling Zhizhou waiting for them ahead. Su Wanwan frowned. Sister. Ling Zhizhou came over, Are you going to the law firm this afternoon? Mo Weiyi, No, I took the day off. Thats it. Ling Zhizhou smiled, I just found a part-time job at a restaurant that happens to be next to Yurui Law Firm. I thought if you were going back, we could go together. What a coincidence? Whats its name? Ling Zhizhou thought for a moment and said the name of the restaurant. Ive been going to that one recently. Upon hearing that, Ling Zhizhou immediately smiled happily, Then you might see me there tomorrow. Mo Weiyi also laughed, Sure. Su Wanwan: Not until Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan asked her, Is the law firm close to our school? Its alright, not really close, about half an hour by car. So, he went there to work specifically? Could it be just to get close to you? Youre overthinking! Su Wanwan: A while later, she couldnt help but continue, Anyway, be careful. If he really does work there, you better change where you eat. We dont want Xiao Yebai knowing and starting a conflict. Oh. Mo Weiyi responded nonchalantly. ** At 9 oclock the next morning, Mo Weiyi arrived at Yurui Law Firm on time. Miss Mo, why are you at work today? Mr. Wang asked, surprised. I took two days off, so of course, I have to work today. But Lawyer Lu said you were taking a week off. One week? tilted her head, You mustve misheard. I only took two days off. Mr. Wang: Did he hear it wrong? At 10 oclock in the morning, Lu Chenyu came to work with his briefcase. At the entrance of the assistant office, he stopped and looked at Mo Weiyis desk out of habit. But seeing this, he was stunned. Damn! Why did this pest come to work? Wasnt she going to take a week off? Mo Weiyi immediately stood up, politely greeting, Good morning, Master! Lu Chenyu lowered his lip corners, and turned away. Mo Weiyi: She came back to work, but why did Master seems unhappy? So grumpy Soon, the phone on her desk rang. Mo Weiyi immediately picked up, Hello, this is Yurui Law Firm, who are you looking for? Now shes accustomed to professionally answering the phone. Come to my office. Okay, Master. Mo Weiyi cheerfully holding a pad and pen, went through the corridor to the next office. She professionally knocked three times, waited for Lu Chenyus voice, and then went in. Today, she wore a bright yellow professional suit As he entered, Lu Chenyu couldnt help raising his hand to shield his eyes, sounding disgusted, Dont wear this outfit again. Mo Weiyi immediately looked down. Limbs covered, skirt longer than the knee, and the fabric is not sheer at all! Master, why? Mo Weiyi asked shamelessly. Lu Chenyu lowered his fingers, expressionless, Im color blind to yellow. Okay. Mo Weiyi pouted her mouth. Is there such thing as color blindness to yellow? What the heck? Another piece of clothing is going to be scrapped. The office fell quiet again. Mo Weiyi watched him, the man stared at his computer, without a word. Finally, she couldnt help asking, Master, the film review I sent to you, what do you think Nonsense. Mo Weiyi: She lowered her head, feeling defeated. The next second. Prepare for a meeting. Mo Weiyi quickly lifted her head higher, Master, am I also going? Hmm. Lu Chenyu stood up, picked up his laptop, Youre responsible for the meeting minutes. Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyis face lit up, Okay! Ever since she got burnt out during her first meeting on her interns first day, she hadnt been invited to any meetings for half a month. Mr. Wang even stated clearly that Lu Chenyu said she was not required to attend the meetings. Never thought he would personally invite her to attend a meeting today! He even put her in charge of meeting minutes! Isnt this a sign that he wants to train her?
