Chapter 39: Don’t Bully Little Kids!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Qin Mo frowned as he saw Fu Jiu’s face, which seemed to have been gently kissed by God, getting closer and closer.

She smelled nice, just like candy.

The young man’s thin lips were pink and extremely suitable for kissing, and his face was wearing a mischievous smile right in front of him.

Only Qin Mo could still remain calm when facing such powerful flirtatious charm. His eyes curved into smiling crescents, but they were full of warning. “Don’t get this close when you’re talking to me. Get in the car.”

Fu Jiu was surprised. She thought he would at least blush a little.

How boring… Almighty Qin was really difficult to deal with.

But this only made it more challenging.

Next time, she would try breathing into his ears.

Then, she would know if he had always been this numb to things.

Fu Jiu finally found something interesting to do.

COCO and Fatty were sitting in front with their eyes wide open after hearing the exchange.

What did they just hear? Captain asked this gay to get in the car?!

Fu Jiu obviously knew what these two were thinking. As she sat down, she curled the corner of her mouth. “Yo, let me reintroduce myself. I’m Spade Z, Fu Jiu.”

It was still fine before she said this, but after her words, Fatty’s hands almost slipped off of the wheel!

Spade, Spade Z?!

Not only him, even COCO’s face started to crack!

No wonder Captain was a little stunned.

Who would’ve thought that a gay nouveau riche was actually that dazzlingly cool Spade Z?!

This was not how things were supposed to roll!

Among all the students who were interviewed, they eliminated this gay first!

Was this some kind of joke?

Was he still dreaming?!

Or was this gay totally faking it?!

No, not possible, because he saw Captain exchanging messages with this guy!

This was too surreal…

“The Spade Z in my mind was a burly chap,” COCO said weakly.

Fu Jiu lifted her eyebrow, and an evil smile blossomed on her face. “I’m so sorry that I failed your expectations and didn’t grow into what you had imagined. I won’t be able to press you under me and give you some pleasure.”

COCO: “…”

“Captain! Now I believe this kid is Spade Z!” COCO tightened his fists. “But can I beat him up first!?”

He must be Spade Z, considering how he left people wishing to beat him up almost as soon as he opened his mouth!

He remembered again how this guy acted when he met him in-game for the first time. This guy was so arrogant, and he didn’t even reply to his friend request!

So far, aside from Captain, nobody had his contact information.

Fu Jiu smiled. “You want to beat me up? Sure, but I’m afraid you would cry after you try.”

COCO’s face turned completely red with rage. He couldn’t outspeak Fu Jiu, so he could only turn to his captain and come up with a sentence, “Captain, you found him, you control him!”

Fu Jiu was stunned by that sentence.

Why would she be controlled by Almighty Qin?

Were they close to each other?

They hadn’t even met with each other face to face a lot!

They only exchanged messages on WeChat, right?

Qin Mo looked at her without warning.

That neat suit and delicate profile really fit together well with his CEO status. Actually, he really had the power to rule over people.

After that, he put down the gaming magazine in his hand and said in an indifferent tone, “Don’t bully a kid.”

After hearing what his captain said, COCO lifted his chin up high like a cat.

But on second thought… Wait! Kid?

COCO’s mouth quivered, and he felt wronged. “Captain, are you helping me or bullying me together with this Spade Z? This is just your first meeting, so why are you taking sides already…”

Luckily, Spade Z wasn’t a girl, otherwise the whole team would lose favor with Captain…

Chapter 38: Fu Jiu & Qin Mo, Gay Meetup 2

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


As if she couldn’t hear the crowd murmuring, Fu Jiu walked directly to the Hummer, with the corner of her mouth even curled up into a smile.

The bodyguards tried to stop her with their hands.

It was this young man who had crashed into their CEO’s arms last time.

Now, it was him again. Did he think that they were mere decorations?

Facing such a barricade, no fear could be seen on Fu Jiu’s face. On the contrary, she raised her eyebrow and a sense of playfulness could be seen in the curve of her lips.

Chen Xiaodong, who was far away in the crowd, felt relieved.

This was good; at least the bodyguards were there to stop her.

There was no way they would let him through, so he didn’t need to worry about him bumping into Young Master Qin…

“Ah!” COCO, who was sitting in the car, also recognized Fu Jiu. “It’s him!”

Back then, Fatty was busy with his laptop, so he didn’t know what had happened. “Who is he?”

“It’s that gay guy who has a secret crush on Captain…” COCO said, before noticing that Qin Mo was looking at him. He instantly changed his tone, “No, no, I mean, he’s a rather crazy fan of Captain’s! Mm, he’s so crazy, he has his own unique way of expressing his affection!”

Hearing that, Fatty was quite disappointed. “Hm, then he’s not Spade Z…”

Fu Jiu saw that they didn’t intend to open the door, and Qin Mo was still on his phone with his head down.

Fu Jiu simply launched WeChat and texted, “Almighty Qin, ask your bodyguards to get out of the way.”

Qin Mo’s fingers stopped abruptly and he raised his head unconsciously. With the bodyguards between them, their eyes met, and he looked at the rather familiar figure familiar outside the car.

In the sunset, that guy had his skateboard in his left hand and his phone in his right hand. His school uniform was unzipped, and it was paired with a cream-colored T-shirt.

Those dreamy eyes had a perfect contrast of black and white.

The light shone down upon his silver hair, and those inky eyes added an inexplicable sense of coquettishness to him.

Qin Mo’s eyes showed signs of abrupt shock!

Then, those deep eyes narrowed!

Fu Jiu saw him check his phone, and she shook her phone casually.

Qin Mo didn’t let her in the car immediately. His long and slender fingers flicked the ash from his cigarette, and he lowered his eyes again as he texted, “That head out there is you?”

Fu Jiu saw the message and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrow. “So Almighty Qin counts people just like counting animals at home.”

This time, Qin Mo saw Fu Jiu texting with his own eyes.

At the same time, a faint cold glimmer leaked out from his eyes. “Move, let him in.”

“What!”

COCO was so shocked that he finally bit off the rabbit’s ear!

The bodyguards were all stunned, and they looked at one another while rooted to their spots!

They were not the only ones. Chen Xiaodong’s eyes were wide with utter shock.

He… he let Young Master through?!

All the students around the car covered their mouths as they watched in disbelief.

Fu Jiu raised her hand up and patted their shoulders. “Told you your boss was waiting for me, why didn’t you believe it?”

All the bodyguards turned around!

They wanted confirmation from their boss because they didn’t believe it was true!

“Let him through,” Qin Mo just repeated in a low voice.

COCO turned his head in shock. “Captain, don’t do this, even if that person has hugged you before, you can’t beat him up in public!”

At this time, Fu Jiu had already walked over. She lifted her left hand up casually and placed it languidly on the car window. She bent her waist slightly, and along with that beautiful face, her eyes inched close to Qin Mo. From a shorter distance, those extremely dazzling eyes became even more appealing. “Oh? Who does Almighty Qin want to beat up? Me?”

Chapter 37: Fu Jiu & Qin Mo, In the Middle of Their Gay Meetup 1

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Fatty was also very excited, and his fingers tightened on the wheel. “What kind of high school student can be this good? I really want to PK against his hacking skills in person!”

COCO was, of course, still biting on the rabbit’s ear. “I just want to play games with him!”

“Don’t act like this, he will think of us as weak!” Fatty patted him on the shoulder. “Draw out that aura you have of an online celebrity persona. It’s just a meeting, what’s the big deal?”

COCO scoffed. “Stop pretending to be calm, your hand is shaking!”

From the looks of it, CEO Qin was still the calmer one… They looked at each other, then looked back through the rearview mirror at the same time.

It should be the CEO (Captain)’s first time meeting someone through a game, right?

They didn’t expect that a cold person like the CEO would agree to a meeting?!

But if that guy really was Spade Z, then there was nothing really strange about it…

As the Hummer had not left, the gate was still swarming with students.

This was what Fu Jiu saw when she came out.

Everyone stood on their toes, looking in the same direction. Excitement was written all over their faces.

Some of the girls even couldn’t help but cover their mouths when Qin Mo rolled down his car window!

Qin Mo looked out, and his black eyes swept through the crowd inch by inch.

Spade Z would walk out from the crowd soon.

As soon as he thought of this, the curve of his lips, which had been always cold, showed an interest that he never had before.

PA!

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, casually sticking his arm outside the window. He played around with his limited-edition Platinum Zippo lighter with his fingers, and his black hair was ruffled by the wind. That godly profile made the audience scream!

“AHHH! Young Master Qin! Young Master Qin!”

Chen Xiaodong, who was following Fu Jiu, was stunned once again. He didn’t expect that right after he heard from his young master that he was meeting with Young Master Qin just a minute ago, Young Master Qin would show up right in front of them!

The Heavens were torturing him!

He had to restrain Young Master; he couldn’t allow him to stir up trouble!

Fu Jiu looked at Chen Xiaodong, who was standing in her way. She raised an eyebrow. “Move away.”

“Young Master!” Chen Xiaodong earnestly tried to persuade him, “Look, there are so many people here, it’s not the best time for you to go there. Plus, Young Master Qin rarely shows up at school, so he must be waiting for someone. Let’s not join in the fray, shall we? What if you get expelled from the school again? Madam would be heartbroken!”

Fu Jiu laughed. “You know that he’s here waiting for someone, so do you know who that person is?”

“Hah? Who?” Chen Xiaodong was helplessly confused.

Fu Jiu said in a deep voice, “Me.”

“Young Master, seriously, you gotta stop imagining things, you…”

This time, Fu Jiu didn’t let him finish and directly gave him a sharp look.

Right after that, she harshly pushed Chen Xiaodong away with her hand.

She strode towards that black Hummer, which was surrounded by people, with her headphones on and her skateboard under her arm.

That casually trimmed silver hair gave off another kind of resplendence in the sunset.

“Wait, that was… Fu Jiu?”

“He still hasn’t gotten over Young Master Qin?”

“No! I just fell in love with him for goodness’ sake!”

“Let’s bet. When Young Master Qin sees him, he will ask him to scram…”

Chapter 16: It’s So Strange

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Congrats, Sister,” said Gu Beicheng, giving An Xiaoning goosebumps all over.

“Thanks, Brother,” said An Xiaoning, returning the formality. “What’s the matter? Just shoot. Don’t just stare at me like that, it’s so strange,” she snarled while crossing her leg to massage her sole.

Entering through the door, Gu Beicheng stood in front of her and said, “Since Grandpa, Father, and Mother had given you a big wedding gift, as your Brother, I ought to give you a little something too.” He handed her a bangle and continued, “This one’s for you.”

An Xiaoning took a look at the bangle and realized it was made of jade. Thinking that he must have bought it with his money, she asked, “Where’d you buy this jade bangle? It seems to be of superior quality.”

Casting a glance at her, he answered, “You can’t get it anywhere else on the market. Keep it properly. Better yet, wear it on your wrist.”

“Thanks. Just one more thing, is there something you want in return?” she asked. She’d taken a liking to the bangle.

“You’re overthinking. It’s really just a gift from me, your brother,” he assured her before striding out of the room.

An Xiaoning put the bangle on and felt strangely at ease all of a sudden. What a spiritual bangle , she thought, absolutely adoring it.

An Xiaoning’s mother entered the room right after Gu Beicheng left. Elated, she chirped excitedly, “Show me the diamond ring Son-in-law had given you! It must be worth millions.”

“When did you arrive?” asked An Xiaoning.

“This morning. Tell me truthfully daughter, how much betrothal money did they pay?”

“I didn’t ask for any. So don’t bother asking.”

“No betrothal money? Why didn’t you ask for any, silly daughter? I’ll ask your Mother-in-law for it later. Your Father and I want the money, even if you don’t.”

“You can forget about it. If you dare to breathe a single word about it, you’ll never see me again. I mean it. Don’t embarrass me,” warned An Xiaoning.

“Your Father and I have lived a poor life of rags in the village. Now that you’re enjoying life as a rich man’s wife, you ought to understand our plight.”

“If I didn’t get married to him, you and Father would’ve beaten me to death. Save it, I know clearly what you two are thinking. Finish your meal and leave.”

“Great, you’re chasing your parents away now, aren’t you, Xiaoning? If it weren’t for us, you wouldn’t be alive today.”

An Xiaoning was overwhelmed with exhaustion and simply did not have the energy to continue arguing with her mother.

“Your younger brother had dropped out of school and wishes to open a shop in the city. Being aware that you’re now married to an extremely wealthy family, he had asked me to borrow some money from you to aid him in his venture. It’s your brother’s turn to get married in a few years, and since he’s interested in starting a small business of his own, you should provide him with some help to improve his life a little. You’re not going to leave him in a lurch, right, Xiaoning?” pleaded Mrs. An.

“How much is he going to need?”

“Calculating the costs, he would need 1.2 million yuan for a two-storey unit with a shopfront, 200 thousand yuan for the furnishing, another 200 thousand for production costs, 20 to 30 thousand for simple furniture. That would add up to a total of…”

“1.6 million or so. It’s his first business venture and he’s already spending so much. Can’t he just rent a place?” An Xiaoning interjected before her mother could even finish.

“It would cost at least a few hundreds of thousands for a year’s rental. Your brother thinks it would be wiser to just buy a place of his own. After all, it would belong entirely to him in a few decades.”

“I don’t have that much to lend him,” said An Xiaoning bluntly.

“Xiaoning, are you trying to lie to your mother’s face? I’ve seen it all today, from the red envelopes[red envelope: a monetary gift given during special occasions, like weddings, in Chinese societies] to the big gifts given by your many Godparents. All of those must be worth at least a few millions of yuan. What’s wrong with lending a hand to your own brother?”

An Xiaoning’s mind was in great turmoil. While she was not a heartless person who does not value kinship, she too could not help but remember the times when her parents had cursed and humiliated her.

“I need to get some rest.”

“Fine. It’s not worth raising and calling you my daughter,” said Mrs. An bitterly as she turned to leave.

An Xiaoning stared at the ceiling and heaved a sigh of frustration.

——

Having waited until dinnertime to pop the question, the old Mrs. Gu asked, “Xiaoning, what’s your relationship with the Gu Family?”

“Grandma, the old Mr. Gu was the love of my Master’s life. He probably just acknowledged me as his god-granddaughter because I am closely related to my Master, nothing more.”

“You’ve agreed too quickly on this matter. The Gu Family have always been stringent about their family historic record and lineage. Why would he agree to include you so easily? I suspect that they have a greater hidden agenda, and you would be their head start,” warned the old Mrs. Gu sternly.

“Grandma, you’re overcomplicating things. It’s not that serious,” said An Xiaoning, almost sneering.

“Perhaps I am. Since it had been set in stone, I shall not pursue the matter further. Before I forget, your mother had asked your Mother-in-law for the betrothal money, claiming to have needed it to tide over a financial difficulty back home. Were you aware of this?”

“How much did she ask for?” asked An Xiaoning, her face stiffening.

“Two million yuan.”

“And did you give it to her?”

“Yes.”

An Xiaoning rose to her feet frantically and said, “I’m going to ask for it back.”

“Xiaoning, you don’t have to…”

“Grandma, she doesn’t deserve the money,” An Xiaoning answered before zooming out of the door.

She instructed the driver to take her to the village.

For the entire journey, An Xiaoning was filled with anxiety. It was not the hefty sum that bothered her, but rather the fact that she had felt that her parents did not deserve to take the money at all. This was because An Xiaoning’s mother-in-law had already given her a lot of expensive clothing and jewellery, not to mention a red envelope that contained a large sum of money. How could she still have the cheek to accept the two million yuan as betrothal money? Her mother had seriously disgraced her.

An Xiaoning instructed the driver to wait at the village entrance while she hurried home alone.

The door was half-open. An Xiaoning took a stride and entered the house, only to find that the courtyard was unlit. The door of the central room was left slightly ajar, and sounds of the TV and people chatting could be heard from within.

She moved quickly, still making sure not to make a sound as she moved with feather-light steps. She felt a chill down her spine when she heard their conversation.

“That wretched lass! If only you saw the way she behaved today, not wanting to acknowledge us at all. If it weren’t for us back then, she would’ve frozen to death along the roadside. It was right for me to take this money today. I didn’t expect the Jin Family to be so generous, though. They gave me so much money without much hesitation. They are far wealthier than the Shi Family. Seems like we won’t have to worry for the rest of our lives.”

“Mother, shall we look for a house facing the street in the city tomorrow?” asked An Xiaonan eagerly.

“Do you really think we’re getting you one?” Mrs. An said bluntly. “It was just an excuse I gave your sister. I’m not going to let you waste it. I know you too well, you spend without thinking twice. If you really want to start a business, I’ll invest a little and save the rest for your Dad and I. But you are to rent a house, not buy one,” she continued.

“I’ll tell sister what you just said,” threatened An Xiaonan.

“There’s no use telling her. Ah, it’s a blessing that she married a rich man again, after leaving the mountains. Otherwise, how else would we get so much money? They’re truly our cash cow.”

“If I hadn’t insisted on taking her in back then, we wouldn’t be so lucky today!” explained Mr. An.

“Yes, yes, all the credit goes to you.”

With all her might, An Xiaoning flung the door open, shocking the three of them inside. They stared at her wide-eyed, their jaws open.

Chapter 15: You Jerk!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Rui’er couldn’t get through to Gu Beicheng, so she called me instead,” explained Jin Qingyan. Noticing the sullen look on An Xiaoning’s face, he continued in a mellowed voice, “I know you tried calling me, but I didn’t pick up because I had planned to explain to you after I come home.”

“You’re asking for it, honestly,” she scorned, staring at him.

“What?” said Jin Qingyan. Her words had struck a sour note.

“You’re so quick to show your affection to someone else’s woman. If that’s not asking for it, I don’t know what is. I turned a blind eye when you spent the entire afternoon yesterday searching for a caretaker to look after her. Well, I really think you’re asking for it by spending the night with her. Do you love her that much?” lamented An Xiaoning, her initial happiness turning into dust.

All of a sudden, there was an indescribable shift in the emotional atmosphere. Seeing that Jin Qingyan was still remaining silent, she went on to give him a piece of her mind, “Today is the day of our wedding. After today, I hope you will know your boundaries and draw a line between yourself and her. Once you become my husband, you should no longer be thinking about another woman. However, should you fail to do so, I’ll end things between you two using another method.”

It was truly an eye-opener; he had never heard her speak with such confidence and vigor before. Neither did he expect her to be such a shrewd woman.

Indeed, he had not known her all that well yet.

“My wife actually said I was asking for it. Now that’s a first. Why don’t you try saying that again? ” he taunted, walking towards her.

“You were asking for it, ” said An Xiaoning proudly. She thought to herself,Does he actually think I’m too timid to say it again? What does he take me for?

Locking the door behind him, he pinned her onto the bed and said, “Say that again.”

“Are you trying to be violent just because you can’t outspeak me? Let go.”

“No.”

“You jerk!”

“…”

Eager to hear An Xiaoning’s answer, Gu Shaochun woke up exceptionally early that morning.

However, she still had not given him her reply. He felt his heart sink with each passing moment that he continued to wait.

Just as he was getting jittery, a call came through. It was An Xiaoning.

“After much consideration, I’ve decided to agree to your request,” she said.

Unable to contain his excitement, Gu Shaochun thanked her immediately. “Thank you, Xiaoning. Grandpa has prepared a set of dowry for your big day today, and I’ll be attending your wedding, as your family.”

“Alright.”

Feeling more energized than ever, he quickly ordered his daughter-in-law to prepare a set of dowry for An Xiaoning.

Together with his family, he then headed to the home of the Jin’s, where the wedding would be held.

The Jin’s did a double-take upon the rare sight of the Gu family. “Hubby, why are they here?” asked Mrs. Jin sternly. She could not believe her eyes.

“I don’t know.”

Turning around, she said, “I’m going to call Qingyan and ask what’s going on.”

A sullen look formed on Mrs. Jin’s face, and it stiffened the moment she ended the call. Noticing her expression, Mr. Jin asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Qingyan said that Xiaoning had become a member of the Gu family, out of the blue, for no rhyme or reason at all. She had acknowledged Gu Shaochun as her Grandfather. Why… why weren’t we informed of this at all, beforehand?”

“Let’s ask Xiaoning about it after the wedding,” said Mr. Jin.

——

“My Mother is obviously upset,” said Jin Qingyan.

“Then, so be it. Aren’t you upset as well? We can gladly call off the wedding now. Just don’t regret it in the future,” dared An Xiaoning, glaring at him while adjusting her gown.

But Jin Qingyan replied, “I’m afraid you’ll be the one regretting.”

“I have a feeling I would too. After all, we don’t truly love each other now. It’s not going to be nice when I make a cuckold out of you the day I meet a man who’s madly in love with me. You’re going to look really bad when that happens.”

“Earlier on, you demanded that I be mindful of my boundaries after we get married. Is it right for you to be saying such things now?”

“I said that you should be aware of your boundaries, but I didn’t say that it applied to me too.”

“I’m very certain that you will fall for me. Wanna bet?” challenged Jin Qingyan with utmost confidence.

“No. I don’t stand to gain anything, either way.”

The bridesmaid, Jin Qingyue, and the best man, Long Tianze, arrived outside their bedroom just as their conversation ended.

“It’s time,” she said with a smile.

Hand in hand, they proceeded downstairs, the bridesmaid holding onto the train of her gown.

The wedding photographers and videographers were more than ready to begin filming. Jin Qingyan carried An Xiaoning into the car, bridal style.

Looking at the expensive, luxury cars which were escorting theirs, An Xiaoning gasped, “The previous time I got married, there were only six cars to escort us. I can’t believe there are so many today!”

“Do you like it?”

“Absolutely.”

“Something’s happening later. You’re going to like it even more. I’ve invited your ex-husband to our wedding,” he said with a sweet, mellow voice, seemingly trying to please her.

“They may not show up, though.”

“They wouldn’t dare not to,” he said firmly as their fingers interlocked.

“I just can’t quite see through you. You really spoil me in every aspect, fulfilling the standards of an ideal husband. Yet, you’re in love with another woman. Truthfully, I’d prefer a man who loves me wholeheartedly,” she said calmly.

“Is that so?” he asked.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the old Mansion and were greeted with the sight of a fleet of cars lined up farther away from the mansion.

The wedding car arrived at the door. Jin Qingyan quickly alighted and, hand in hand, led An Xiaoning down the red carpet.

She spotted her ex-husband and his family amongst the crowd.

Every single member of the Shi family had turned up, including Wang Fangfang.

A mix of complex feelings began to overwhelm An Xiaoning when she noticed her parents from afar.

They had invited themselves even though she did not inform them of the exact address. God knows when they had arrived.

The majority of female guests were green with envy as they watched Jin Qingyan slip on the huge, ostentatious ring onto An Xiaoning’s finger while they were exchanging their vows.

It was only during the toasting ceremony that most of the guests realized that the Gu Family had attended the wedding as An Xiaoning’s family. Having made the headlines, the matter came across as breaking news to many.

When it was time to toast to the Shi Family during the ceremony, An Xiaoning gloated conceitedly when she noticed how uneasy they were. “Here’s a toast for the old Mrs. Shi. There’s a permanent scar on my forehead that I just can’t get rid of. Thankfully, my hair has helped keep it obscure. It would’ve been hideous otherwise!” she sneered.

At that very instant, the old Mrs. Shi turned pale as sheet. “My apologies to have offended you, young madam,” said the old Mrs. Shi, still managing to force a polite remark out of herself.

“It’s no bother. Here’s another toast to Mr. Shi,” she exclaimed, handing Shi Shaochuan a glass of wine.

Wang Fangfang kept her eyes peeled on An Xiaoning’s hands. Almost blinded by the sparkling, exquisite, diamond ring, she could not help but wonder how An Xiaoning had gotten so lucky.

Watching the gorgeous An Xiaoning smile at him beautifully, Shi Shaochuan felt a random tinge of moroseness. Chugging too quickly, he choked on the wine she had toasted and felt a burning feeling in his throat.

With a smirk, An Xiaoning left their table with utmost confidence and strode towards the other tables for a toast.

After the toasting ceremony, An Xiaoning returned to her resting area. She felt an immense pain settling into her legs.

The very moment she sat down, she noticed Gu Beicheng leaning against the door, clad in a white suit. Holding up a goblet in his hands, he stared at her with a faint smile on his face.

Chapter 14: Spending the Night With Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“In that case, why do you trust that I have the ability to do it? Although there are very few masters who are experts in that aspect, there are indeed still many others who are capable. Why me, when you can simply hire them by offering a hefty sum of money, which you don’t lack? Old Mr. Gu, I am far less advanced in age, as well as skill and practice. I know you’re a man of good judgement; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to build and develop your business into the empire it is today. Thus, will you tell me why you chose me?” asked an intrigued An Xiaoning.

“There isn’t a special reason, actually. I trust you, only because you are Jingxin’s only disciple,” he answered.

Giving it some thought, An Xiaoning said with sarcasm while looking at Mrs. Gu, “If I acknowledge you as my God-grandfather, I would have to acknowledge Mr. and Mrs. Gu as my godparents as well. But, with Godma disliking me, I’m going to have a hard time living with the Gu’s in the future.”

“Oh silly, since I’ll be taking you as my God-granddaughter under the witness of everyone in my family, rest assured I’ll be treating you like my own, making sure you have everything you need to live comfortably,” reassured Gu Shaochun. Noticing how highly her father-in-law regarded An Xiaoning, Mrs. Gu knew not to belittle her.

“Are you amenable now?” asked Gu Shaochun with a satisfied smile.

“Let me consider it, and I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. How does that sound?”

“Great,” Gu Shaochun answered with a nod.

The Gu’s drove back home after dropping An Xiaoning off at her house. On the journey back, Mr. Gu asked, “Father, can we really depend on her?”

“Back then, her Grandmaster had accurately predicted the age and exact date your grandparents would pass on. She had let us in on this matter out of her own accord. It has got to be right. This is a family secret not to be divulged to anyone else, be it true or not. It doesn’t pay to take a risk.”

“But An Xiaoning knows about our secret now. What if she reveals it to Jin Qingyan…”

“She won’t. There are rules when it comes to the practice. She’s a careful and meticulous girl. She’s not going to completely trust someone she hasn’t known for long easily,” Gu Shaochun disagreed.

——

An Xiaoning sat on the couch. The moment she arrived home, she had begun reading the book Gu Shaochun gave her.

The words on the book were handwritten. The handwriting was unique and legible only to a few.

Despite being a pious adherent of Buddhism who had been in practice for her whole life, An Xiaoning’s Master was unable to understand the writings, simply because she was not psychic.

Unlike her master, the psychic An Xiaoning could read each and every word written on the book.

Since her Grandmaster was the one who had handed down the book to her disciple, the writings must have been handwritten by the former.

The book was entirely composed of hexagrams, compilations of mantras, and mnemonic chants. To An Xiaoning, it was a precious handbook that ought to be treasured.

Noticing An Xiaoning reading cross-legged, as soon as he got home, Jin Qingyan inched forward and asked curiously, “What’s that book you’re reading?”

“A book that means a ton to me. One that is priceless,” she said without revealing the identity of the book.

“Where’d you get that from?”

“Secret.”

“Are there still secrets between us?” he asked inquisitively, one eyebrow raised.

“Of course,” replied An Xiaoning with a smirk. “I went to offer my respects to my Master today and bumped into old Mr. Gu along the way. Turns out, he’s the man my master had loved for her entire life. He wants to acknowledge me as his God-granddaughter and include me in his family’s historic record. What do you think of that?” she continued, trying to sound him out.

“The Gu Family?”

“Yes.”

“He wants to acknowledge you, simply because you’re the only disciple of your master?”

An Xiaoning asked in reply, “What’s wrong? He even offered to grant me any wish I’d like, as long as they are within his means. I find this a pretty good deal.”

“Back then, Gu Beicheng had had a hard time acknowledging his biological parents. Why would they include you in their family historic record that easily? There’s no free lunch in this world,” said a skeptical Jin Qingyan. “I think you’d better not agree. Besides, you’ll be the Mistress of the Jin family real soon. Given the strained ties between the Gu family and mine, Mother and Grandma won’t be too pleased to hear about it,” he added.

“The strained ties between the families? Or is it… simply the strained relationship between you and Gu Beicheng?” she asked with a smile.

Without a response, Jin Qingyan headed upstairs, his face stiff.

Smirking, An Xiaoning watched as his figure disappeared into the stairway.

It seemed she had hit the nail on the head.

After finishing a bowl of instant noodles paired with a carton of milk, a satiated An Xiaoning was all ready for a nap on the couch.

Just as she laid down, Jin Qingyan zoomed down the stairs and headed straight for the door, anxiety written all over his face.

“Where are you headed to?” asked An Xiaoning.

Not having the time to even reply, Jin Qingyan put on his shoes and left in a hurry.

An Xiaoning did not put much thought into the matter. She closed her eyes and dozed off quickly.

In dreamland, An Xiaoning sat across her Master in the courtyard of the temple. Grinning from ear to ear, her Master said, “I thought I would never have the chance to see him again after my death. But I did, all thanks to you.”

“Master, he had asked for me to be his God-granddaughter. And he requested me to lend a helping hand to the Gu Family during the time of the great disaster they were bound to face one day. Should I agree?”

“Follow your heart, dear. As your master, though, I feel it would be a good choice to agree, for I can then leave in peace, knowing that you will be taken care of in the future.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Nun Jingxin was still smiling as her figure faded into a blur. An Xiaoning woke up from her nap only to realize it was just a dream.

To her surprise, her Master had appeared in her dreams to convey a message.

——

Evening had arrived. All of a sudden, a bunch of makeup artists and hair stylists showed up at her door, claiming that they had been sent by Mrs. Jin. The butler had also brought along the numerous sets of bridal gowns and suits.

Having put on her wedding gown, An Xiaoning could not help but smile at the sight of her reflection in the mirror. This was her second time donning a wedding gown. Come her big day tomorrow, she would be the most beautiful she had ever been in her entire life.

Her only worry was Jin Qingyan, who was still not yet home despite the late hour.

She waited patiently on the couch for his return, sipping on a drink she had poured herself.

As the clock struck nine, An Xiaoning decided to give him a call. She was tired of waiting. However, he did not pick up, even after a long time.

Thus, she decided not to wait any longer and proceeded to get some rest alone.

Not having slept well that night, An Xiaoning woke up to find that it was empty beside her on the bed. There were no missed calls or messages from him either.

Soon, it was the morning of their big day. Jin Qingyan arrived home just as An Xiaoning was sitting on the dressing table to get her hair done, right after putting on her wedding gown.

He immediately changed into his wedding suit.

Without any explanation at all, he headed downstairs.

An Xiaoning clenched her fists anxiously. She felt a need to know his whereabouts the night before. Why did he refuse to pick up my call? she thought to herself.

After the makeup artists and hairstylists had left her bedroom, she ordered for someone to get him to come upstairs.

“Where did you go last night?”

“Rui’er had injured her leg pretty badly. She was in pain the entire night.”

Widening her mouth in disbelief, An Xiaoning questioned, “So, you kept her company at the hospital for the entire night?”

“Yeah.”

“Shouldn’t Gu Beicheng be the one accompanying her? Why was it you instead?” An Xiaoning continued to ask, trying to get to the bottom of the matter.

Chapter 64: Stirring Up Trouble


Zhou Jingyun took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Tong. He asked, “Do you have any information on Shao Ying?” This was the reason why he had called Jiang Tong over today. He was already very angry that his spokesperson had been hit by a car, so he wanted information on Shao Ying. It would be best if it was the kind of secret information that could crush Shao Ying!


“I do, and it’s the kind that’s very lethal.” Jiang Tong raised her eyebrows and gave Zhou Jingyun a wicked and wanton smile.


“Name your price.” Zhou Jingyun looked straight at Jiang Tong. He wanted to buy information on Shao Ying’s dirt.


“I can’t give it to you,” Jiang Tong refused.


Zhou Jingyun’s expression changed, and then he narrowed his eyes. He began to suspect that Jiang Tong was related to Shao Ying.


“Don’t let your anger get to your head. You know the strength of a big family. Even if I give you Shao Ying’s dirt, you won’t be able to defeat her. Not only will the Shao family protect Shao Ying, but even your Zhou family will also protect her,” Jiang Tong said indifferently. “It might even lead to the cancellation of the bet. The family will force you to marry Shao Ying. No matter how bad your relationship with your family is, you’re still a member of the Zhou family. Your actions may very well cause a conflict between the two families. If you touch Shao Ying like this, the Shao family will not let it go. Your family will definitely apologize to the Shao family. So, do you think… with your current strength, you can go against your family? And the Shao family?”


Zhou Jingyun was silent. He was indeed thoughtless. When he called Jiang Tong, it was when he was most furious after receiving the news. At that time, he really wanted to kill Shao Ying directly! But now, Jiang Tong’s words calmed him down. What Jiang Tong said was right. He could not directly attack Shao Ying, just like how Shao Ying would never attack him. That was the bottom line. Shao Ying would only mess with the people around him and mess with his company.


Shao Ying wanted to marry him, not fight to the death with him. Zhou Jingyun thought about it and lowered his head to look at the files.


“Looking at the candidate files for the spokesperson?” After Jiang Tong asked, Zhou Jingyun grunted. Shen Kaiqi was hospitalized due to an unexpected car accident. This was a force majeure for the contract between Jingyun Fashion and the agency that Shen Kaiqi worked for. Therefore, this cooperation would be automatically terminated. Both parties would not be considered to have breached the contract. Therefore, Jingyun Fashion needed to find a spokesperson for its new product launch as soon as possible. Even though this was very tough and difficult, they still needed to find a spokesperson as soon as possible. This was because there were only fourteen days left before the new product launch. There was simply not enough time. Not to mention that big celebrities’ schedules were usually difficult to handle, there were also some celebrities who had similar endorsements and could no longer accept cosmetic endorsements. In addition, Jingyun Fashion was not a big name. Many popular female celebrities were not willing to accept such endorsements. They had already reached the level of being able to cooperate with big international brands, so there was no need for them to lower their status. Therefore, only a few top female celebrities were willing to accept it, on account of money.


However… to begin with, Shao Ying was behind the difficult situation, interfering with all his moves. If Zhou Jingyun had negotiated with the female celebrity’s manager today, then tomorrow Shao Ying would find the big boss of the celebrity’s management company and talk to him directly. Then, the female celebrity would renege on their agreement with Zhou Jingyun. In any case, since they had not signed the contract yet, they would just find an excuse and reject it. This had already happened too many times. Zhou Jingyun could not use his family’s power to find a spokesperson. He could not even find Zhou Mingfei to help him find a spokesperson because Zhou Mingfei’s power was the Zhou family’s power. Using Zhou Mingfei’s power and influence would violate the rules of the bet.


Zhou Jingyun could only talk to the spokesperson himself. He knew that he might not have the chance. If he could not find a spokesperson, the new product launch would be postponed. Or even if it was held as scheduled, the influence and impact would be much less than expected.


Zhou Jingyun looked at the files without saying a word. The atmosphere in the office was a little gloomy.


“Zhou Jingyun, do you need… me to help you find a spokesperson?”Jiang Tong suddenly opened her mouth and asked. Zhou Jingyun looked up at her. Jiang Tong didn’t move and kept her smile steady.


“Aren’t you an intelligence dealer? Do you do this kind of business too?” Zhou Jingyun curled the corner of his mouth and continued to look down. Without yesterday’s mood and state, he was a lot more distant from Jiang Tong today.


In fact, this was Zhou Jingyun’s personality. Now that they were in his office, there was no need for him and Jiang Tong to put on an act.


“It’s about making money. As long as the money is in place, I can even find Hong Tongfei for you. Or you can find any other female celebrity that you like. The one I found would definitely meet your requirements, she would definitely be hot and popular!” Jiang Tong almost believed it herself. However, she did have a way to solve Zhou Jingyun’s urgent problem. She could quickly find a spokesperson for Jingyun Fashion, and the celebrity she found would definitely meet Zhou Jingyun’s standards. It might even exceed his standards!

Chapter 63: Because It Was Him

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Seeing the photo, Li Sicheng immediately became tense. The lines of his chiseled cheeks became even more angled. Her frightened eyes like a deer’s appeared in front of his eyes. However, the reason that she did not want him to approach her was only because it was him. Clearly she was open to other guys than him.

Very well!

Holding his phone, Li Sicheng dialed the number that was added to his contacts less than two days ago, which was labeled: the one at home. The four words seemed to be laughing at him.

Eating barbecue and drinking beer, Su Qianci felt incredibly relaxed. Chatting with Lu Yihan, Su Qianci felt that she was having a great time. Compared to how careful she was spending time with Li Sicheng, it was much easier for her to talk to Lu Yihan, who was a great friend. Su Qianci felt she was on top of the world.

In her two lifetimes, she had always followed the rules of her husband’s family, the Li household. However, after she had died once, she finally learned that nothing mattered more than living in the moment.

Her phone suddenly rang. It was Li Sicheng. If she remembered correctly, it was the first time he had called her since they were married.

“Hello?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m out.”

“What are you doing?”

“Having dinner.”

“With whom?”

Su Qianci felt something was odd. Although Li Sicheng was always cold, he would not normally be so aggressive. It seemed that he was a bit angry even.

What is he doing? Checking up on her?

She thought about it and then said, “A good friend.”

Li Sicheng who was in his house squeezed the cell phone in his hand and became even more gloomy. A good friend!

“Man or woman?”

“…”

“What? You don’t dare to answer me?” Li Sicheng said sarcastically.

“Man. But he is just a high school friend. And we are only having dinner.” Su Qianci had no idea why she was explaining, feeling no guilt at all. There was nothing between her and Lu Yihan.

However, she heard his chuckles through the phone. “Since you are meeting another man privately, you should have been smarter and picked somewhere else than Kingstown First High School. Don’t you think?”

Su Qianci looked immediately to the side. Seeing Su Qianci’s reaction, Li Weiya immediately bowed her head and ate the barbecue silently. However, Su Qianci still saw that.

Tang Mengqing was fearless, glaring at Su Qianci provocatively. “It was us. So what?” Seeing Su Qianci’s look, she could imagine whose phone call Su Qianci had just got.

Contrary to how Li Weiya felt, Tang Mengqing was content. She stood up and walked to Su Qianci, glancing at Lu Yihan contemptuously. “So you’re into a boy toy like this and would rather cheat on a good man like Li Sicheng. Such a slut! My sister is right. A woman like you should never be married to Li Sicheng. What a shame!”

Chapter 36: Where Are You Going, Young Master? Fu Jiu: Meeting Up With Qin Mo~

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


The English teacher personally led a round of applause and unprecedentedly showered compliments and recognition on Fu Jiu. Then she asked the other students to learn from Fu Jiu.

Jiang Feiyang’s eyes widened. He thought he was about to witness another joke, but he didn’t expect that this little trash would win the limelight!

Fu Jiu sat down, glanced at him with the corner of her eyes, and curled her thin lips.

That obvious mocking gave Jiang Feiyang the feeling like his face had been slapped until it was swollen.

Also, he didn’t know why, but he thought that Fu Jiu was really good looking!

Was he insane?!

“Okay, students, that is it for today. Class dismissed!”

With that statement from the English teacher, all the students flooded out the classroom.

Fu Jiu grabbed her school bag and threw it on her back. She carried her skateboard underneath her arm and slowly walked through the crowd.

In front of the school building, Chen Xiaodong was already waiting. “Young Master, where are you going? Wait for me!”

Fu Jiu stopped.

Many girls were looking at him while blushing, and they stopped as well.

Chen Xiaodong paused and thought, was he seeing things?

These girls, why were they blushing and acting all shy?

“Young Master,” Chen Xiaodong said in a low voice, “What did you do again! Did you flirt with girls?”

Fu Jiu took her phone out and answered languidly, “Nope.”

“Okay,” Chen Xiaodong said seriously, “I believe you, Young Master. Then, Young Master, where are we going now? You said you need to go to Computer City to get some components?”

He was not sure why, but lately, his young master seemed to be quite into this stuff?

Fu Jiu opened WeChat and looked at the “I’m here” message. She lifted the corner of her mouth. “Before getting some components, I need to meet someone first.”

Chen Xiaodong said “Oh,” and he didn’t know a bomb was about to drop on him soon. “Who?”

“Qin Mo.” Fu Jiu only said two words before walking off.

Chen Xiaodong froze, and his mouth was quivering. His expression was exaggerated to the extreme.

“Young Master, wait, calm down! You would get beaten up into a pulp by Young Master Qin!”

Meanwhile, at the gate of Jiang City No.1 Middle School, a smooth jet-black Hummer was parked at the roadside like a ferocious tiger.

The car plate had a white bottom and red letters, and there were bodyguards standing around the car.

It looked imposing!

But even so, it couldn’t stop the students’ enthusiasm.

“Almighty Qin’s car! AHHH! I’m going nuts!”

Qin Mo was really popular, like some godlike superstar.

As soon as he showed up, people would always start taking pictures.

Regardless of whether they were men or women, as long as they saw him playing games, they would all fall in love with him.

However, no matter how many people crowded up outside, Qin Mo in his Hummer wouldn’t be even the slightest bit moved.

He sat in the backseat. He had a sharp nose and a pretty face. It seemed like he was asleep; his head was resting languidly on one hand, and his other hand was gently laid on his long leg. His narrow eyes were serenely closed, making him look unperturbed.

He suddenly opened his eyes when he received a WeChat notification. Those sinister-looking eyes were like the dark night and seemed to be able to see through the entire world.

Qin Mo unlocked his phone with a swipe, and a line of text showed up. “I’m walking over.”

COCO, who was in the passenger seat, also heard the notification got all excited for no reason.

“I have been playing games for so long, but this is my first time meeting up with an online friend. I wonder what Spade Z looks like? Don’t tell me he’s a burly chap?”

After all, his way of doing things was quite lionhearted!

Chapter 35: Complete Change of View! Fu Jiu!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Fu Jiu could even feel how cold the expression that man had when he replied was through the phone screen.

She really couldn’t switch off her phone now.

That would delay things…

It was several minutes past 5 pm. The Rooftop Team were all looking at the time with their heads together.

“Why isn’t CEO Qin here yet?”

“Seems like he waited for a WeChat reply till midnight, and he just woke up.”

“Whose WeChat reply would be this important?”

“No idea…”

As they were discussing, they heard a creaking sound and the door opened.

Qin Mo walked in with wide strides and his shirt half-open. His black hair seemed to be dyed by the wildest ink-black night, and he instantly shut everyone up with his icy coolness!

His body was just so alluring that many people stole a glance and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

COCO ran up. “Captain, you slept here last night? Was it too busy at the company?”

Qin Mo didn’t answer. He turned and pressed on the company phone on the table, “I need a new suit, bring it up now.”

“Yes.”

Secretary Liang was very efficient.

Qin Mo took the jacket in his hands and put it on, fixing the sleeves with his hands and doing the buttons up one by one. He said slowly, “I’m meeting Spade Z.”

“WHAT?!”

BANG!

COCO and Fatty stood up from their chairs at the same time!

Meeting ?

Like those meetings between online game buddies?!

This… this is too surreal!

“This guy is so cunning, is it a trap?!” COCO questioned.

Fatty agreed, “CEO Qin, bring more people with you! We can’t let him run away this time!”

“You think I wouldn’t have already figured it out if this is a trap? Or…”Qin Mo raised his eyes up without a thought, and there was an evil coldness emitting from the depths of his eyes. “Are you reminding me about the last time I was fooled?”

COCO and Fatty froze at the same time, and their scalps became numb with fear. “No… not that…”

Boohoo, CEO Qin is so scary today!

*************

Meanwhile, the last class had begun at school.

Usually, at this time, everyone’s minds would no longer be focused on studying.

Everyone was looking at the time on their phones with their heads down.

Fu Jiu was no exception; after all, she had a meeting.

The English teacher also knew that they weren’t listening, so he wanted to liven up the atmosphere with some questions. He called Fu Jiu up.

“What kind of girl do you like?”

Everyone in the class knew that Fu Jiu ranked dead last every year during exams.

She couldn’t understand English at all.

Although the girls were intrigued by this question, they knew that Fu Jiu couldn’t answer.

Jiang Feiyang sat next to Fu Jiu, looking mockingly at her and getting ready for a good show!

Xue Yaoyao was worried. She took out her pen and poked at Fu Jiu’s back from behind, writing one word on the note—Beautiful.

As long as Fu Jiu answered with this word, she would pass this test.

But she feared that Fu Jiu didn’t even recognize this word.

The teacher was looking at her.

Fu Jiu laughed, opened her thin lips, and answered with extremely fluent English, “Do you think because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you,—and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.”

She had a naturally beautiful voice, and now that she spoke with an authentic British accent, she enunciated those words slowly so that they were full of exotic magnetism.

Everyone in the class was intoxicated by her voice.

“This, this is…” The English teacher was very excited. “The exact line from Jane Eyre !”

“Teacher, it seems that you also like this book. Yes… The female lead in the book is my favorite type.” Fu Jiu, who was still smiling, winked her left eye at Xue Yaoyao, who was behind her.

The charm of that evil, seductive handsomeness made the hearts of the girls sitting behind her thump heavily…

Chapter 34: Stay in Contact, Young Master Qin Said, You Get in My Car Directly

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Back then, Fu Jiu had no idea that her small, trivial gesture would make Xue Yaoyao swear that she would protect this young man.

Because, he protected her…

Fu Jiu didn’t feel that she did anything so moving.

It was just that, if someone thanked her sincerely, of course she would receive it with the same sincerity.

Although she was indeed a person with good looks, she didn’t like for anyone to judge others based on their looks or figures.

What’s wrong with being a little chubby in one’s teenage years, that’s normal!

Holding that delicious bun in her mouth, she went back to her seat. Fu Jiu switched her phone on. She was going to search for some studying hacks for physics; after all, physics had always been a pain in the butt for her.

However, before she could open the webpage, five WeChat friend notifications popped up.

The first one was normal, like the sender’s style. “This is Qin Mo.”

The other four were… relatively normal.

She had successfully stimulated the other side of Almighty Qin into coming out.

Every other message was a cold “heh” with an extremely frosty tone.

Well, Fu Jiu admitted that it was her fault this time. Not cool.

But then again, that man didn’t say that he would add her on WeChat.

Fu Jiu paused and clicked ‘Accept.’

Thinking of their meeting today and their impending cooperation, she replied with a sentence: “I went to bed last night and didn’t have my phone. I just saw your friend request.”

After replying, Fu Jiu subconsciously started to wait for an answer.

But class started, and there was still no reply at all from the other end…

As cool as Fu Jiu was, she soon forgot about all of that.

The physics teacher was lecturing while Fu Jiu frowned.

Was she the only person who found this subject ill-designed for human beings to study?

Without her tablet, class seemed to take forever.

Once sunset came, her phone buzzed under her desk.

Fu Jiu took it out and saw a voice message from Qin Mo.

“In class, can’t listen to it,” she replied quickly and simply.

No response again.

Fu Jiu didn’t care.

After three minutes, Qin Mo replied, “Meetup location has changed, I will wait for you at the school gate. You should know that my car is easy to find.”

Fu Jiu: “…”

She did know, but she was not the only who knew; everyone at school knew that high-end Hummer.

Not mentioning Jiang City, you couldn’t find another in the whole three northern provinces.

That car and that red license plate all displayed his privileged noble status.

But if that was the case, she would have to get into his car in front of everyone…

Mm…

Alright, dear Chen Xiaodong would go mad again…

“Okay.” She was fine with it.

Qin Mo tilted his head and saw the reply on his phone. He then sat up on his bed.

He had just woken up, and his bewitchingly dark eyes were still profound-looking. His white shirt was half open, and his manly, buff honey-colored chest peeked through. His electrifying v-line and every inch of his outline was lethally appealing enough that it simply made people’s noses bleed!

He tilted his head a little. His hair was perfectly trimmed, barely covering his eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something and replied again with a domineering tone, “Don’t switch off your phone.”

Chapter 13: The Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


As soon as he ended his sentence, Gu Beicheng rushed forward in an attempt to kiss An Xiaoning. She was quick to evade, though not quick enough: he managed to plant a kiss on her cheek before she could fully get away.

As hard as she could, she wiped the spot which he had kissed. Glaring daggers at him, she hissed, “Why did you kiss me?” Her eyes seethed with exasperation.

“Because I felt like it.”

An Xiaoning glowered at him once more before turning around to enter the courtyard.

After a long while of waiting in the courtyard, Gu Shaochun and the others finally returned. Gu Shaochun seemed to have dealt with a great blow as he appeared to be rather grief-stricken.

“Here, take this. Your Master had left it with me. Though I don’t understand what’s written on it, I know it meant a great deal to her. However, in order to avoid me, she has never asked for it back. I thought you should have it, now that she’s no longer around,” explained the old Mr. Gu. He walked towards An Xiaoning and handed her a book.

“Old Mr. Gu, what exactly happened between you and Master?” she asked before taking even one look at the book.

“I’ll tell you about it in the car,” he said despairingly with a sigh.

She nodded along in agreement.

On the journey back, Gu Shaochun began to talk about the events which happened in the past, between him and Nun Jingxin. The two were a pair of star-crossed lovers who did not earn the approval of Gu Shaochun’s parents, for his father had despised her family background — her parents had passed away when she was young, making her an orphan. His parents had felt that she could not fulfil the rightful duties of a wife, like taking good care of Gu Shaochun or aiding him in his career, since her only interests were practising Buddhism and being vegetarian.

Even though Nun Jingxin had repeatedly expressed her willingness to give up practising Buddhism for Gu Shaochun, her efforts were still futile. His parents were adamant about not changing their mind.

Back in the day, it was extremely rare for one to disobey his parents. Moreover, Nun Jingxin had caught a bad cold during the winter which seemed to be incurable, despite the medical help Gu Shaochun had sought from various physicians to treat her. One fine day, an elderly lady who claimed to be Nun Jingxin’s Master had come forth to treat her disciple, whom she allegedly could sense was ill. The elderly lady added that Nun Jingxin was the Dragon Daughter[an assistant of the Guanyin Goddess, in Buddhism] of the Guanyin Goddess[Guanyin Goddess: a deity worshipped by many who believe in Buddhism] in her past life, who had arrived in the mortal world to be reincarnated, secretly. She then explained that the Guanyin Goddess had found and caught Nun Jingxin, and the latter would have to alter her fate in order to survive.

Upon hearing the elderly lady’s words, he inquired about how Nun Jingxin should go about altering her fate.

The elderly lady then revealed that the only solution was for Nun Jingxin to practise Buddhism on the mountains, while remaining unmarried and childless, in addition to becoming vegetarian and praying frequently. She also had to accumulate merit by doing good deeds for her own salvation, and finally, offer a substitute of herself to the Heavens while gradually becoming a better person, so as to keep her life.

Since Nun Jingxin could no longer marry Gu Shaochun, the latter’s parents had arranged for him to marry the eldest daughter of the Xia family, who was none other than Gu Beicheng’s grandmother.

Alas, Nun Jingxin followed the elderly lady to the mountains to practise Buddhism. In a moment of hurry, as she was leaving, she left the book behind with Gu Shaochun and told him that they shall never meet again in this life.

In fact, Gu Shaochun had been travelling to the mountains to visit her in secret, ever since his younger years. However, Nun Jingxin had not once in her remaining life left the mountains.

“She could not understand what the words written on the book meant, despite having studied it over and over again, countless of times. She said that her master had given it to her. Have you ever met your Grandmaster?” asked Gu Shaochun, turning to look at An Xiaoning.

Shaking her head, she replied, “Grandmaster had already passed on when I first arrived at the temple on the mountain. I’ve only heard from Master that she was one of the rare few in this world who had achieved great sanctity.”

Having comprehended what she said, Gu Shaochun nodded before continuing, “Ms. An, may I trouble you to tell the fortune of my family members?”

“I’m sorry, but I do not wish to read and know about your family’s fortune,” An Xiaoning rejected.

“Since you’re unwilling to do so, I shall not impose my wishes on you either. Mediums possessing the actual ability to read fortunes are hard to come by these days. How lucky of the Jin’s to have such foresight. It’s a pity you’re already married. Otherwise, I would’ve wished greatly for you to become the daughter-in-law of my family,” said Gu Shaochuan as he heaved a sigh of disappointment.

Shock was written all over the faces of the other members of the Gu Family in the car. On the other hand, An Xiaoning remained calm and composed. She answered, “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, old Mr. Gu. However, I am far inferior in skill compared to Master, for I only have superficial knowledge. I’m afraid I’m not skilled enough to alter the fate of the Gu Family, even if I wasn’t already the daughter-in-law of the Jin Family.”

Impressed by her frankness, Gu Shaochun nodded in approval. “What a candid young lady. My son did not give birth to a daughter. If you’d agree, I would be more than willing to take you as my God-granddaughter.”

It had never occured to An Xiaoning that the old Mr. Gu would want to be related to her in one way or another.

“What would I stand to gain from being your God-granddaughter? Why would I call you ‘Grandfather’ and address the rest of your family as my elders for no apparent reason at all?” An Xiaoning asked rhetorically.

“An Xiaoning, many others are dying for a chance to call me their godmother. Yet here you are, despising the opportunity offered to you,” Mrs. Gu chastised. She gave her the side-eye.

Beckoning his daughter-in-law to stay silent, Gu Shaochun looked at An Xiaoning and answered calmly, “Once you become my God-granddaughter, your name will be included in the historic record of the Gu Family. You will become one of us. You’re free to raise any wishes you may have. I will fulfill them as long as they are within my means. Relatively speaking, there’s only one thing I ask.”

The rest of the Gu Family were robbed of their senses; their jaws dropped in shock.

Is he already senile… they thought to themselves in disbelief of what they had just heard.

How could he offer that stranger, An Xiaoning, such a great advantage? Absolutely ridiculous.

Truth be told, An Xiaoning was tempted by what he had offered her. How could she not be?

Putting aside the strained ties between the Gu Family and the Jin Family, the mere thought of having any wish of hers granted by Gu Shaochun was enough to move her. Besides, this was an issue which would have existed regardless of her marriage with Jin Qingyan.

If she ever has a falling out with Jin Qingyan, she would at least still have the backing and support of the Gu Family.

There was nothing wrong with leaving a way out for herself. After all, prevention is indeed better than cure.

“You said you only have one thing to ask. What is it?” she asked.

“My only request… is for you to lend a helping hand whenever you can, should any member of the Gu Family be faced with an inevitable disaster,” said the elderly patriarch, sweeping an arm across his family members, who were holding their breaths in anxiety.

Quick to interrupt, Mrs. Gu objected, “Father, how are you so sure that we are bound to face an inevitable disaster? Even so, what happens if she’s unable to help us?”

Looking at his daughter-in-law, he questioned sternly, “Do you think I’m spouting nonsense?”

“Of course not…” answered Mrs. Gu, turning meek as a lamb.

An Xiaoning, too, had wanted to know the answer to Mrs. Gu’s question. “Old Mr. Gu, how are you aware of what’s going to happen to the Gu Family in the future?” she asked.

“Your Grandmaster had let me in about it, once. She didn’t reveal much about when and what would eventually happen, other than the fact that it would be extremely disastrous. I’m getting on in years. I’ve previously tried countless times to look for similar Masters, to learn a skill or two, but to no avail. The people who truly possess genuine abilities in this world are few and far in between. I’ve ordered Dongcheng to look for your Master on the mountains today, partly because of this matter. Little did I expect to meet you. Please, agree to my request, will you?” asked a hopeful Gu Shaochun.

Chapter 12: The Lesson You Needed to Be Taught

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Hmph, I’m not buying that,” said An Xiaoning, secretly feeling a sense of happiness despite her words.

Her doubts were understandable, for it was indeed a tall order to find a man who still had his chastity, especially in today’s society.

“Well, it’s the truth. It’s up to you to believe me.”

“If you truly loved a woman wholeheartedly, would you still get together with another woman?” An Xiaoning asked.

“That depends on whether she loves me the same way I do her.”

“And if she did?” An Xiaoning asked hypothetically.

“Well, I would never be that lucky,” said Jin Qingyan, resting his arms behind his head, a pillow sandwiched in between. “Love and marriage are separate matters,” he continued.

Hearing his words, An Xiaoning could not help but feel greatly disappointed. “In my opinion, they don’t necessarily have to be separate,” she said.

He remained silent, despite already having a firm answer in his head.

By saying that love and marriage are separate matters, he must’ve meant that he loves another woman while being married to a different one. The sudden thought crossed her mind as she placed her book onto the desk.

She was overwhelmed by a sudden wave of sadness and irritation. Observing every contour of his face, she said, “Hubby, I’ve studied a few positions earlier tonight. Let’s try them.”

“…”

——

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.

An Xiaoning had spent the past few days decorating their home. She replaced all the furniture with the ones she liked, transforming the once-empty-and-spacious house into a warm and comfortable home.

In less than 24 hours, it would be their big day.

An Xiaoning had planned to pay her respects to her late Master at her grave today.

She decided to head out alone, without informing Jin Qingyan, who had gone to the old Mansion first thing in the morning.

Having arrived at the foot of the mountain by bus, she climbed the stone steps and made her way up.

The doorstep of the old temple was covered with dried leaves; the door was tightly shut. There seemed to be a tinge of loneliness in the air. There was not a single soul in sight on the mountain.

An Xiaoning extended her arm to push the door open.

Since there was no one to attend to its upkeep, the place she had grown up in had been greatly reduced to nothing more than just a lonely, dilapidated temple.

Carrying a black bag in her hands, she walked towards the house. Continuing along a substantial number of stairs, she finally arrived at her Master’s grave.

“Master, I’m here.”

A strong, fleeting gust of wind blew towards her the very moment she ended her sentence.

An Xiaoning proceeded to burn some joss paper and gold paper ingots, along with a set of paper clothes. “The last time I came to visit was to tell you that I was getting married. But Master, I had since gotten a divorce, and the purpose of my visit today is to let you know that I’m getting married again, for the second time. It’s a different man this time, though. He’s someone reliable and trustworthy. I came alone and secretly today, because I didn’t think the time was ripe for him to meet you just yet. But I’ll bring him here to see you in the future. I miss you dearly, Master.”

Teary-eyed, she stood up and gave a deep bow before leaving.

On the way down to the foot of the mountain, she was stopped by a suave and dashing man who was dressed casually. “Hey, excuse me, how much further from here is the Temple of Nun Jingxin?” asked the man.[‘Jingxin’ means ‘to calm one’s mind’ in Chinese]

“You… You’re looking for Nun Jingxin?” a surprised An Xiaoning asked.

With a nod, he answered, “Yes.” He seemed rather soft-spoken.

“You don’t have to make a wasted trip. She had passed away for a long time already,” said An Xiaoning as she continued to descend the hill.

“Hold up, may I ask if you knew her personally?” he asked, frantically trying to hold her back.

“I was her disciple, so you can take my word for it.”

“Do you know who Gu Shaochun is?”

Of course she did — Gu Shaochun was a name she would remember until the day she dies, for he was the man who had betrayed and let her Master down. Even on her deathbed, her master still could not let go of him. An Xiaoning was filled with animosity at the mention of Gu Shaochun.

Her master had waited her entire life for that man. She refused to marry anyone else.

The thought of meeting Gu Shaochun, if she managed to find him, had crossed An Xiaoning’s mind multiple times.

——

“Please enter, Ms. An. Turns out you are Jin Qingyan’s new wife, no wonder I found you to be looking rather familiar,” said Gu Dongcheng as he welcomed her in.

“Neither did I expect him to be a member of your family,” she replied.

She walked through the gate and found that there were a few people seated in the living room, including Gu Shaochun, Gu Beichen, as well as the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gu.

“Grandad, this is Nun Jingxin’s disciple,” Gu Dongcheng introduced An Xiaoning as he stepped forward.

“You must be Gu Shaochun, I suppose?” asked An Xiaoning, staring daggers at him.

“How atrocious of you to be calling your elder by his full name! I see, this is how ill-mannered the daughter-in-law of the Jin Family truly is,” Mrs. Gu snapped as soon as An Xiaoning finished her sentence.

Unfazed by the hostile comment, An Xiaoning retorted fearlessly, “I wasn’t speaking to you. Please shut up.”

“Please take a seat, Ms. An,” Gu Dongcheng said gently, gesturing for An Xiaoning to sit down. A stark contrast to his mother’s animosity.

An Xiaoning could feel Gu Shaochun looking her up and down as she took a seat. Without fear, she glared back at him.

Not expecting her to stare back at him, Gu Shaochun could not avoid eye contact with her quickly enough. With raised eyebrows, his lips curled into a stiff smile.

“Your master…” he began to speak.

“My Master had passed away a few years ago,” said An Xiaoning.

Upon hearing her words, Gu Shaochun turned pale as a sheet at that very instant. Unable to process the shocking piece of news he had just heard, he asked, “Passed away?”

“The purpose of my visit is to ask you a simple question. Old Mr. Gu, just why did you make my Master wait her entire life for you?” An Xiaoning roared with uncontrollable fury. Staring daggers at the elderly man, she continued, “Master was still calling your name, even on her deathbed. But look at you, living well with an abundance of fortune and riches. You even got married and were blessed with so many children, while she spent her entire life practising on the mountains and remained unmarried up until the day she passed on.”

Cupping his face with his hands, the aged Gu Shaochun let out a cry of agony, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

A deafening silence filled the room. No one dared to make a single sound. The old Mr. Gu had always been a dignified and awe-inspiring patriarch of the family. He had never lost control of his emotions in front of them before.

His family had known very little about Nun Jingxin previously because he had never mentioned anything about her. As he was losing mobility in his legs, the old Mr. Gu had instructed his grandchild to look for Nun Jingxin and find out about how she was doing.

Several moments passed. Supporting himself with his walking stick, Gu Shaochun struggled to stand on unstable feet and said to An Xiaoning, “I’d like to visit her grave. Please take me there.”

An Xiaoning agreed to his request, thinking that her Master would have liked very much for Gu Shaochun to visit her as well — especially since she was still calling his name repeatedly while grief-stricken on her deathbed.

With much gratitude, Gu Shaochun smiled widely at her. He then quickly entered his room and returned with a bag, all set to go.

Having arrived back on the mountain, Gu Dongcheng and his Mother supported Gu Shaochun to Nun Jingxin’s grave behind the dilapidated house. Squatting at the door, An Xiaoning glared at Gu Beicheng and said aggressively, “What are you staring at me for? Why aren’t you going inside? ”

“You’ve seriously angered my Mother today. Other than my late Grandmother who was at loggerheads with her, no one else has had the nerve to tell my Mother to ‘shut up’,” he answered.

“Are you trying to lecture me out of filial piety?”

“You need to be taught a lesson, indeed,” said Gu Beicheng sternly as he walked closer towards her.

An Xiaoning stood up and took a step back. Staring at him, she yelled, “What are you trying to do, throwing your arms around me in broad daylight? Are you trying to take advantage of a helpless lady?”

“A helpless lady? Let’s see how helpless you really are,” taunted Gu Beicheng with a sneer.

Chapter 11: Hurry and Get Out of My Sight!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Hurry and get out of my sight!” Jin Qingyue hollered while chasing Long Tianze out.

As he exited the door, Long Tianze was panicking. Little did he expect that Jin Qingyue’s attitude towards him would remain the same even after all this time — she still detested the sight of him.

The sky turned pitch black as the sun set and night arrived. It was already seven o’clock in the evening when Jin Qingyan arrived at the Night Vixen bar.

“Good evening, Mr. Jin,” greeted Anbao as he approached his car.

“Has your boss kicked the bucket?” asked Jin Qingyan.

“No, he’s still alive,” Anbao answered.

“That’s good,” Jin Qingyan locked his car and walked towards the bar.

Taking a seat at his usual spot, Jin Qingyan crossed a leg over another and reached out for the glass of whisky on the waiter’s plate. “You insisted on having me come all the way here. What’s the matter?” he asked, looking at a tipsy Long Tianze.

“I feel like I’m about to die,” muttered Long Tianze drunkenly.

“You say that all the time, but look, you’re still alive and kicking aren’t you? I know you best,” said Jin Qingyan, used to his best friend’s antics.

“Why doesn’t your younger sister like me?”

“Hasn’t it always been that way?”

Staring at the alcohol left in his glass, Long Tianze said frivolously, “There are plenty of fishes in the sea, why am I so caught up with that single one? I really need to get a grip on myself…”

“Where are you going?” asked Jin Qingyan when he saw Long Tianze stand up.

“To answer nature’s call.”

“…”

His business too urgent to go all the way to his personal restroom, Long Tianze made his way to the washroom on the first floor, only to find that it had been locked from the inside.

Damn it.

He had a desperate need to empty his bladder. It did not help that someone had the guts to lock the door of the washroom in the bar he owned.

How frustrating!

Long Tianze had hit the roof by now, for he could not hold in his urine any longer.

Running to the bar counter with his legs crossed, he grabbed the keys to the toilet door and unlocked it forcefully.

He was greeted by the sight of a set of women’s clothing hanging on the door frame of a cubicle. As he did a double take, Long Tianze was convinced that it belonged to a shameless crossdresser. It was no wonder the door had been locked.

After he was finished with his business, he snatched the set of clothes off the door frame and walked out with it in his hands.

Curious as to why Long Tianze was holding on to a set of women’s clothing, Jin Qingyan asked, “Did you hook up with a girl when you went to the toilet?”

“Talking about it just makes my blood boil. I was already in a hurry, yet someone had locked the restroom. I quickly grabbed the spare key and unlocked it, only to find this set of women’s clothes hanging on the door frame of the cubicle. It must’ve belonged to a crazy crossdresser trying to disguise himself as a woman. Whatever.”

“What if it really belongs to a woman?” remarked Jin Qingyan, unable to help bursting into laughter.

“Why would a woman change in the Gents’?”

“That’s true…”

After Jin Qingyan left, Long Tianze decided to check the security camera footage out of curiosity. He realized that he was the only one who exited the washroom, along with a few others who had entered earlier.

After a short while, he entered the washroom again and tried to open the cubicle where he found the set of clothing previously. This time, it was locked yet again.

How strange.

“It can’t be ghost, can it?” he thought to himself.

Knocking on the door, he yelled, “Is there anyone?”

“…”

There was not a single response.

He exited the washroom and returned with a stool. Standing on the stool, he peeked into the cubicle from above.

Oh gosh, why is there a woman? he thought to himself upon realizing that it was a female in the cubicle.

A girl with doll-like features was sitting on top of the toilet seat. She was clad in an oversized set of men’s clothing, and she appeared to be rather infuriated.

In a bid to look for her younger sister, she had decided to dress herself in a set of waiter’s uniform and disguise as one. However, she realized that the uniform was too big for her and wanted to change back into her own clothes, only to find that they were missing!

She sat atop the toilet seat, at a complete loss on what to do. All of a sudden, she heard a voice coming from above. “Did you steal my clothes?” asked Mei Yangyang in agitation, looking up and staring at Long Tianze.

If it wasn’t him, who else would bother coming into the restroom to check if it was a male or female inside the cubicle? she thought to herself.

“What do you mean ‘steal’? I should be the one asking, what are you doing in the Gents’? You even locked the door. Besides, you’re wearing a bar waiter’s uniform, which obviously belongs to a man. You’re the one who’s stealing, aren’t you?” he retorted.

“Quick, return my clothes!”

“I could, but I don’t intend to. Not without something in return.”

Long Tianze got off the stool as he finished speaking.

“Hey, don’t leave!” she exclaimed anxiously.

“Call me Big Brother and I won’t,” he teased, his lips twisting into a smirk.

“Big Brother.”

“How old are you?”

“20.”

20? She looks barely a day over 16, with that baby face of hers, he thought, his brows furrowed in confusion.

“And your name?”

“Mei Yangyang.”

“Pssht… I’m Hui Tailang then[‘Mei Yangyang’ and ‘Hui Tailang’ are characters in a popular Chinese cartoon series, ‘Xi Taiyang and the Big Gray Wolf’]. Come on out. Bring along your pants and follow me to get your clothes,” Long Tianze said with a snort.

But my pants are so loose, I have to hold them up all the time. It’s too embarrassing,she thought in her head.

“Your Big Brother is drunk. There’s no way I can bring them back here for you. Leave with me if you want your clothes back. Otherwise, you can keep sitting here,” he continued.

“Hold up,” she opened the door, holding up her pants awkwardly to stop them from falling off.

Long Tianze proceeded to stroll back in a relaxed manner, his hands in his pockets.

He handed the set of clothes back to Mei Yangyang once they reached the couch. Noticing that she was about to return to the washroom to change, he offered, “Go change in my private room. There’s no one else there.”

“Where is it?”

“Go up to the second floor and enter the first room on your left.”

“Thank you,” she said with a nod.

Long Tianze squinted as he supported his head in his hands.

10 minutes later, she thanked him once again, “Thank you, I’m going to get going now.”

“Okay.”

At that instant, Mei Yangyang scooted off hurriedly.

She had initially planned to bring her younger sister home after learning of her whereabouts. She did not expect the bar to be full of sleazy, lecherous men, and thus, she had no choice but to dress up as a waiter to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. Yet, things did not go according to plan, almost getting stuck in the washroom of the bar. It was just her luck.

——

Jin Qingyan arrived home to An Xiaoning lying in bed in her nightdress, reading a book.

“Why have you started reading? Trying to become more refined?” he asked.

“Yes.”

Contrary to what he had expected her to be reading, he realized as he moved closer towards her that she was actually looking at ancient drawings.

“Why don’t you read some poems or classic writings instead?” he remarked, pursing his lips.

“Hubby, look how beautiful these ancient drawings are!” she exclaimed, dismissing his remark.

“There have been numerous people who are artistically-talented, be it in the past or now. What’s the big deal? Let’s stop looking at those drawings and get some sleep, honey,” he said with a mellowed, gentle voice.

Turning to face him, An Xiaoning said out of the blue, “I still think I’m rather inferior.”

“Inferior in what?”

“In bed, of course. It’s my first time doing it with you, though it’s definitely not your first.”

“How do you know it’s not my first?” he asked, turning the arrow back at her.

“Huh?”

“No ‘huh’s, it is what it is,” he said, poking her forehead teasingly.

Chapter 63: You Really Know a Lot


Jiang Tong pushed open the door to Zhou Jingyun’s office.


Zhou Jingyun was making a phone call by the window, and he subconsciously paced back and forth, looking very annoyed. “Has she been saved? What’s the specific situation? Mmm… mm… how many months will it take for her to recover? Okay, that means she can’t come to the press conference, right? Yes, I understand. Okay, I understand…”


Jiang Tong didn’t disturb Zhou Jingyun. She found a sofa far away from Zhou Jingyun and sat down. She crossed her legs naturally and looked at Zhou Jingyun on the phone while rubbing her chin.


Five minutes later, Zhou Jingyun finally finished the call with a cold expression.


“Who was injured?” Jiang Tong asked.


“Shen Kaiqi, car accident,” Zhou Jingyun replied. He walked quickly to the file cabinet and took out a folder to look through.


“Shen Kaiqi? Shao Ying did it?” Jiang Tong asked.


Zhou Jingyun didn’t even raise his head as he asked, “You even know about Shen Kaiqi?”


Jiang Tong smiled. “Shen Kaiqi is a big star. Who doesn’t know about her?” Jiang Tong rarely smiled when she was with Guan Sandao today. That was because she had always distinguished between “People she could use” and “People she could make friends with”.


“You know that’s not what I’m asking.” Zhou Jingyun frowned and looked at Jiang Tong. “How do you know Shao Ying did it?”


“It’s very simple. Jingyun Fashion’s press conference is about to begin this year. This press conference may not be that important to your company, but it’s very important to you personally. That’s because you want to get Jingyun Fashion listed and raise money before the results of the bet are out! You want to try and raise your wealth as much as possible. Thus, you need to make sure Jingyun Fashion does well and deliver good results. So that when the company goes public, the stock price will be even higher. In this era of social media and digital traffic, it is very important for a cosmetics and fashion company with a high-end positioning to get a qualified spokesperson!” Jiang Tong smiled and continued, “However, Shao Ying has been hindering you in all aspects, including the matter of Jingyun Fashion looking for a spokesperson. In the past few years, those who could endorse Jingyun Fashion were some B-list, third-rate, or even outdated celebrities. This year, Jingyun Fashion’s performance is still okay. It was not easy for a top female star to be willing to endorse Jingyun Fashion, but Shao Ying has been playing tricks behind the scenes. She has even violated the rules of the bet and used the power of the Shao family to intervene. Therefore, no matter how you negotiate, you can’t find a spokesperson that meets your requirements. It wasn’t until two months ago that you secretly talked to Shen Kaiqi.”


Shen Kaiqi was a singer who had just debuted. She was currently a new generation female singer who was extremely popular. According to Zhou Jingyun’s plan, he would officially announce Shen Kaiqi would be their new spokesperson in front of everyone during the new product launch. Shen Kaiqi would attend Jingyun Fashion’s launch that day. She would be on Jingyun Fashion’s platform and endorse Jingyun Fashion’s new product line that day. Zhou Jingyun wanted to borrow Shen Kaiqi’s popularity and explosive power of the Internet and social media to make his company’s new product popular and a trend everywhere! He wanted to transform Jingyun Fashion from a small and popular brand in the country to a big and well-known brand in the country and abroad!


For this press conference, Zhou Jingyun had really prepared too much.


“Yesterday, I helped you find the traitor. Shao Ying knew that the plan to steal the product information was exposed. Today, Shen Kaiqi had a car accident and was unable to attend the press conference. The company is also unable to go forward with the subsequent promotions. Obviously… all of this was done by Shao Ying. Otherwise… do you believe that this is just a coincidence?” Jiang Tong said with a smile.


“You really know a lot.” Zhou Jingyun’s eyes were dark. In fact, Jiang Tong didn’t need to say much. Zhou Jingyun also knew that Shao Ying did it. This was also the reason why he was so angry today. He didn’t expect Shao Ying to be so ruthless and so twisted! She couldn’t steal the product information, so she directly sent someone to run over the spokesperson. Shao Ying was determined to sabotage his new product launch!


The reason why Zhou Jingyun secretly signed Shen Kaiqi was to prevent Shao Ying from causing trouble. He thought that Shao Ying did not know about the spokesperson’s matter. However, Jiang Tong had helped him find the traitor yesterday. There had always been a spy acting as an assistant by his side. Therefore, Zhou Jingyun understood that Shao Ying had always known about the secret agreement between Shen Kaiqi and Jingyun Fashion. He was always at a disadvantage in his fight and bet with Shao Ying! The reason for this was not that Zhou Jingyun was not capable, but that the Shao family and the Zhou family were on Shao Ying’s side. He was fighting alone!


Shao Ying had used her family’s power. Other than the Shao family covering for Shao Ying, even the Zhou family would help cover for her. If Zhou Jingyun dared to cross the line and break the rules of the bet, the Zhou family and the Shao family would directly betray him and make him lose!

Chapter 62: Something Happened


Jiang Tong had already started eating. After listening to Guan Sandao’s sincere explanation, she had to admit that Guan Sandao was very eloquent. The strange reason he had brought up was explained in such a way that it made Jiang Tong feel like there was some sense to it.


“You know, we lower class gangsters… To put it nicely, we are big brothers in the underworld. To put it bluntly, we are lower-class gangsters. Miss Jiang, you and Young Master Zhou are from the same family. Although Young Master Zhou didn’t specifically instruct us to do anything, we all rely on Young Master Zhou for a living. We have to take the initiative, don’t you think so?” Guan Sandao smiled embarrassedly.


“Yeah, are you done talking?” Jiang Tong nodded calmly.


“I’m done.” Guan Sandao’s expression was not very good because Jiang Tong did not seem to believe what he said. However, she did not seem like she intended on finding trouble with him.


“You’re not eating?” Jiang Tong asked again. She had ordered breakfast for two, but Guan Sandao had not touched it.


“Ah? I’ll eat, I’m also hungry.” Guan Sandao’s smile was still quite natural. He picked up a fried dough stick with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.


Just as Jiang Tong and Guan Sandao were about to finish eating, Jiang Tong’s cell phone rang. Her cell phone was placed on the table. The caller ID was “Zhou Jingyun”. Guan Sandao immediately stood up when he saw it and signaled to Jiang Tong that he was going out. Jiang Tong waved her hand to indicate that he didn’t need to leave to avoid suspicion. There was nothing that he couldn’t hear.


“Why did you call? Have you arrived at the company?” Jiang Tong picked up the phone.


“Not yet. I’m on my way to the office.” Zhou Jingyun spoke very quickly, and there was obvious anger in his tone. “Come to the office quickly. Something has happened!”


“Okay, I got it.” Jiang Tong didn’t ask much. After hanging up the phone, she said to Guan Sandao, “I still have something to do. Let’s stop here for today.” After saying that, she got up and walked out. Guan Sandao didn’t say anything. He took out his wallet and threw a hundred dollars on the table. Then, he followed Jiang Tong out. “Miss Jiang, do you want to use the car?” He quickly followed Jiang Tong and took out the Lamborghini key from his pocket at the same time. Jiang Tong turned her head to take a look and took the key.


Guan Sandao followed Jiang Tong out of the alley. Jiang Tong saw the Lamborghini and the row of cars parked behind the Lamborghini. There were also people standing by the cars smoking. When they saw Guan Sandao come out, they all greeted him ‘Big Brother’.


“What’s the meaning of this?” Jiang Tong raised her chin. There was more than one Lamborghini on the roadside. There was also a red one. It was the latest model released last year.


“Miss Jiang, I’m really sorry to have made you misunderstand. This car is my apology. You drive the car. If there are any problems, I’ll handle them. You see…” Guan Sandao said with a smile.


Guan Sandao lied. Jiang Tong also knew that Guan Sandao lied. Because it was only past seven in the morning, the car couldn’t have been bought in the middle of the night, right? The 4S shop in City Z couldn’t have opened in the middle of the night either. No matter how powerful Guan Sandao was, he would not be able to get the car at night and not go through the formalities to obtain the car. He could drive the car himself without going through the formalities, but not for the car he had planned to give to Jiang Tong… Therefore, he couldn’t have bought the car last night. Guan Sandao didn’t have the ability to predict the future, nor could he have known that Jiang Tong would find out that he had someone following her and the fact that she would even call him. Therefore, the truth was when Guan Sandao left the Lihao Ballroom in the morning, he decided to form a close relationship with Jiang Tong. Thus, he sent someone to follow her and then sent someone else to buy the car. Because Jiang Tong had driven his Lamborghini before, Guan Sandao thought that Jiang Tong liked Lamborghinis, so he bought one. He planned to find an opportunity to give it to Jiang Tong.


“Okay.” Jiang Tong only replied to Guan Sandao with one word. She pressed the key, and the red Lamborghini’s headlights flickered. She got into the car and started the engine. When she started the engine, she looked at the interior of the car. It was indeed the latest model. When this car was bought, Guan Sandao definitely did not add any accessories. Nonetheless, the price of the car was already more than eight million dollars. Jiang Tong did not really care about how expensive the car was. However, Guan Sandao had already decided to spend eight million dollars to buy the car yesterday and he was prepared to give it to her at any time… With such boldness, it was no wonder that Guan Sandao was able to reach where he was today.


When Jiang Tong drove the car out of the alley, Guan Sandao stood by the roadside and raised his hand to signal. He said, “Miss Jiang, take care.”


Jiang Tong nodded calmly in the car.


Half an hour later, Jiang Tong drove to the underground parking lot of Huanyu Building. She parked the car and turned to see Zhou Jingyun’s car. It seemed that he had arrived. She entered the elevator and swiped her employee card to go upstairs. Yesterday, Jiang Tong applied for a job at Jingyun Fashion and obtained an employee card. When she arrived at Zhou Jingyun’s office floor, Zhou Jingyun’s bodyguards were everywhere. These bodyguards didn’t stop Jiang Tong. When they saw Jiang Tong, they even bowed and greeted her, “Miss Jiang.”

Chapter 62: Cuckolded

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


After the photo was sent, before Li Weiya did anything, Tang Mengqing took the phone from her hand.

“I’ll help you!” Tang Mengqing quickly typed on Li Weiya’s phone.

When Li Weiya got her phone back, she found that she had sent Li Sicheng a message with the picture, saying, “Wow, cousin. Cuckolded so soon!”

Li Weiya was a bit disturbed by what Tang Mengqing had sent and said, “I don’t think we should have done that. Cousin Li Sicheng does not have the best temper. What if he becomes mad…”

“Oh my god. Which guy would stay calm when he sees his wife cheating on him? You are so naïve.” Tang Mengqing snatched the phone again and said, “I must send a copy to my sister.”

Li Weiya was nervous and quickly got the phone back. “Why would you send it to your sister?”

“Li Weiya, isn’t my sister Li Sicheng’s best friend before he was married to this woman? We all thought the two of them would get married, right? This woman is a shameless mistress. We should expose her in public!” Tang Mengqing said resolutely.

However, Li Weiya felt something was wrong and stuttered, “But my grandfather wanted them to get married…”

“Either way, it is the right thing to do to send the photo to my sister!” Tang Mengqing grabbed the phone again.

At this time, Tang Mengying was preparing for the interview at the company of the Li family on the next day. In order to approach Li Sicheng, Tang Mengying chose the position of his secretary without hesitation. She had already notified Li Sicheng’s mother, so the position would be hers as long as she showed up at the interview.

Suddenly, Tang Mengying got a text from Li Weiya which excited her. In the photo, the woman was smiling widely, and the men sitting opposite her was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, looking like the boy next door. Obviously, he was a boy toy! Seeing the photo, Tang Mengying was suddenly cheered up. She couldn’t help laughing out loud.

When passing her daughter’s room, Mrs. Tang heard Tang Mengying’s laughter and asked, “What is so funny?”

“Mom, come and see this.” Tang Mengying handed the cell phone to Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang’s eyes immediately lit up when seeing the photo and she laughed. “This little slut! I was just worried that I did not have anything on her. Since such a good opportunity has presented itself, I will make her life a living hell. Send it to me. I will show the old fellow at the Li family and let him see what kind of woman he had picked for his grandson.”

Tang Mengying was much more calm. With a smile, she said, “No need to hurry. With such good materials on hand, we must take care of her once and for all. She is definitely behind the incident of Liu Anan. I will get a full revenge.”

“What do you want to do?” Mrs. Tang was excited to think that the little bitch could be abandoned by the Li family for this.

Tang Mengying sneered, “Let’s do this…”

At the same time, Li Sicheng was in a conference call, and it was more than half an hour later when he saw the photo.

Chapter 61: I’m Dying

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Su Qianci took a taxi to her high school and arrived at around 7 o’clock. Paying for the taxi, Su Qianci saw a red Renault parking near her. A young man was leaning against the car. He was about twenty years old, wearing a pair of rimless glasses. His skin was fair, and nose was straight. The moment he saw her, he smiled brilliantly. “Hello, Qianqian!’

Wearing a casual outfit, Lu Yihan was very much a ray of sunshine.

“It hasn’t been that long. How come you have become so pretty? I am so blown away!” Lu Yihan exclaimed extravagantly, covering his eyes, “Your beauty has blinded me. Don’t get too close.”

Su Qianci chuckled. “You have not changed a bit.”

Lu Yihan laughed, measuring her height with one hand. “You have not become taller, little girl.”

“You know I am a girl after all…”

“That’s true, but 5 feet is still too short.”

Su Qianci threw a punch at him madly and yelled like old times, “I am 5’4″!”

Lu Yihan pretended to be injured and stepped back. “I’m dying… It hurts so bad…”

“Get lost!”

As they fought, they sat down at the barbecue stand. This barbecue stand had a long history and was renowned for the flavor of its dish. After ordering a bunch of stuff, Su Qianci ordered several beers and started to chat with Lu Yihan. Since they hadn’t seen each other for a long while, the two were very engaged in their conversation, not noticing that there were a pair of eyes staring at them since they entered the barbecue stand.

Kingstown First High School was one of the best high schools in the city. Many students from other towns also studied there, which was why it was normal that many students spent their weekend at school. At a corner of the barbecue stand, two girls around seventeen years old had noticed them the moment they came in.

The second Tang Mengqing saw Su Qianci, she paused and quickly told Li Weiya opposite her, “Look, isn’t that your cousin’s wife? Who is that man?”

Li Weiya turned her head and saw Su Qianci immediately.

“It really is her.”

However, how come Su Qianci would appear at this place?

When Li Weiya was about to say hi to Su Qianci, Tang Mengqing stopped her. “Don’t go. It has just been a few days since your cousin married her, and she is already dating a guy in public. It seems that my sister is right. This woman is quite a slut!”

Li Weiya did not like Tang Mengqing’s words, but still sat down.

Tang Mengqing said, “Send a picture to your cousin immediately and show him the woman’s true color.”

Li Weiya nodded and took a close-up photo of Su Qianci and Lu Yihan. Then, she found Li Sicheng in her WeChat contacts and sent him the photo.

Chapter 10: I Make Them Tired Every Day

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


The skies cleared up in the afternoon. Jin Qingyan went to check up on the wedding preparations while An Xiaoning, who felt bored staying at home, went out for a walk.

The roads were still wet after the rain. With her bag slung over her shoulder, she walked on the streets and suddenly heard a few honking sounds from a car horn.

An Xiaoning turned back to look and realized that seated in the car was Gu Beicheng.

She did not know this man well, having met him only once. Moreover, Jin Qingyan had a cold relationship with him, making her even more reluctant to acknowledge him.

So An Xiaoning just looked him in the eye and continued walking ahead.

Gu Beicheng did not expect that An Xiaoning would ignore him completely.

Hence, he moved the car ahead by one length and, without any notice, he got off the car. “Ms. An, I wish to talk to you alone.”

“I’m not interested in talking to you.”

“It can’t be that you’re afraid to sit in my car?” His gaze was unusual, and his tone had a tinge of laughter, which left one guessing. “It’s regarding Jin Qingyan, I’m sure you’ll be interested.”

“What exactly do you want to say?”

“Get in the car, I won’t do anything to you.”

He went forward to open the car door. An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings, then got in.

Gu Beicheng drove the car to a quiet place, then he turned around and said calmly, “As far as I know, you and Jin Qingyan haven’t known each other for a long time, and yet you married him readily — aren’t you a little too bold?”

“What has this got to do with you? I even dared to marry someone like Shi Shaochuan, with whom I had no contact at all before. What is so bold about marrying Jin Qingyan?”

“That is true.” Gu Beicheng continued firmly, “However, Jin Qingyan will never fall for you in this life, so you better be mentally prepared.”

“Are you trying to drive a wedge in our relationship?” An Xiaoning curled her mouth. “I won’t fall into your trap.”

Upon hearing this, the faint smile in Gu Beicheng’s eyes grew deeper. “Someone who loves a woman to such extremes that, even though she is with another man, he still continues to love her — what makes you think he’ll fall for you?”

An Xiaoning knew whom he was referring to, but he still said stubbornly, “He’s married to me now so we’ll be living the rest of our lives together. If he really loves that woman to such extremes, why did he agree to marry me? Both his heart and body should stay loyal — that is what ‘loving to an extreme’ means.”

“Look — you insist on arguing with me, Ms. An, can you see the future? If no, then what makes you think he’ll live with you for the rest of your life without divorcing?”

“Because…” An Xiaoning answered weakly, “Because he is very sincere about marrying me, so he will not divorce me so easily.”

“Tsk…” Gu Beicheng sneered. “Let me tell you, as soon as Chi Rui’er reaches her hand out to him, he’ll embrace her and kick you out.”

Seeing that she was about to rebut again, he continued, “Whether I was right about what I said, see for yourself in the future.”

“Even if it were like that, I won’t regret it.” An Xiaoning raised her chin slightly. “I, An Xiaoning, can still live a brilliant life after leaving any man.”

Gu Beicheng started the engine. “Where are you going?”

“If you will, send me to my doorstep. The world outside is too dangerous — it’s best to stay at home to play with my dog.”

“You really have a dog at home?”

“Is that surprising?” An Xiaoning answered. “My husband bought it for me himself.”

“Surprising indeed.” He did not expect that Jin Qingyan — who hated cats and dogs — would compromise to this point. This woman was indeed not as simple as he had thought.

“Thank you for sending me home.”

“You are welcome. It’s all on you, for being so attractive.”

“Hope that I’ll never see you again…” An Xiaoning used her strength to slam the car door and strode towards her doorstep.

Gu Beicheng stared fixedly at her back and under his breath, said sternly, “No one has dared to talk to me like this, especially a woman.”

—

Meanwhile, in the residence of the Jin family.

Jin Qingyue placed her luggage aside, immediately plopped down on the sofa, and said to her mother beside her, “Mother, what happened to my brother, why is he getting married suddenly? Moreover, it’s someone who is remarrying! I’m puzzled.”

“Don’t see your sister-in-law as just a remarried woman — she is pretty formidable. Don’t look down on her. Besides, your brother is fine with it, so don’t add any trouble,” Mrs. Jin grabbed the fruit knife and started peeling an apple.

“Originally, brother wanted to marry sister Rui’er, but Grandma was so adamant against it and said she was not presentable enough, but this divorcee is presentable? I really don’t understand.”

“Can Rui’er be compared to your sister-in-law? She was with your brother but was still involved with that illegitimate child from the Gu family — could your Grandmother let her marry your brother?” As she spoke of this, Mrs. Jin shifted the subject to her. “I spoke to your Father. After your brother gets married, don’t leave the country anymore, stay right at home — it’s not like you are completing your studies overseas, so why run around all the time?”

“I like living overseas. Tthere’s no restraint, and I have my freedom. At home, I have to be disciplined by all of you about every small little thing.” Jin Qingyue frowned her eyebrows. “Mother, I’m an adult already, can all of you stop controlling me all the time?”

“Right. Because you are an adult now, your father and I can’t allow you to behave like this anymore. Now that you’re back, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Stay right at home — after your brother’s wedding, your father and I ought to worry about yours. With so many talented young men available, you ought to choose wisely. For instance, Tianze is a good catch. Your father and I watched him grow up. We know his roots and everything about him.”

“Who?” Jin Qingyue widened her eyes. “Long Tianze? He’s a playboy. I don’t fancy him — even if you give him to me, I wouldn’t want it.”

“You brat, every rich boy has some flaws here and there. After getting married, they’ll become more serious. Also, don’t think your Mother doesn’t know, Tianze has always liked you. Last time when you were around at home, he came over all the time. He even grew up with your brother. If you and he get together, our whole family can rest assured.” Mrs. Jin passed the peeled apple over to her. “Take it.”

“Mother, can you stop mentioning him?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice from across sounded. “What about me?”

Mrs. Jin grinned and got up. “Tianze is here, both of you talk, I’m going back in.”

Long Tianze went through the doorway and walked towards the sofa. “Jin Qingyue, after going overseas for a period of time and seeing all kinds of foreigners, do you not fancy local men anymore?”

“So what?” Jin Qingyue looked at him coldly. “Next time, if I’m at home, can you stop coming over all the time? Now my mother thinks that you’re devoted to me to such an extent.”

“Hey, hey, little girl, can you think before you speak? I’m devoted to you? Stop dreaming, who would fancy you.”

Jin Qingyue’s face went dark. “Then what are you doing in my house? The moment I come back, you come over — what do you mean by this?”

“I’m not even here to find you.” He folded his hands in his pocket and turned around. “There are so many girls willing to go out with me — I make them tired every day — even their kidneys get weak.”

Chapter 9: Little Vixen Needs a Spanking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Jin Qingyan stared at his wife with overflowing warmth and tenderness. Their eyes met, and clearly, they were smitten with each other.

“Don’t you find it a little too quiet with just the two of us at home?” asked An Xiaoning. “I’d like to get a dog. Will you let me?” she suggested.

“Of course. Anything for you, as long as you’re happy.”

Her heart blossomed upon hearing his sweet reply.

“I’ll let you off tonight. C’mon, let’s take a bath,” he said teasingly, carrying her into the bathtub. “Can you tell my fortune?” he asked.

“I would need your birth characters (birth date). It’s not listed on your Wikipedia page.”

“I was born on 6th October XXXX, at 12 noon, according to the lunar calendar.”

An Xiaoning closed her eyes and recited his birthdate and home address in her head. To her bewilderment, she could not read his fortune at all.

It was an extremely rare case, for she was the only other person whose fortune she could not read.

“I can’t tell yours,” An Xiaoning admitted truthfully. “I can’t read my own fortune either. Well, it seems we were made for each other, a match made in heaven,” she joked.

Slightly displeased, he asked, “What does that signify?”

“There are countless sets of identical birth characters, for there were definitely many others who were born at the same time as you. Many people do not share the same fate, despite having the same birth characters. However, one can still be distinguished from others sharing the same birth characters by looking at their given name and home address. I’m not yet advanced in skill, and thus, I can’t quite put a finger on what it signifies. The same goes for mine. Perhaps I could if I were my master. It’s a pity that she’s already passed on,” she continued to explain.

After taking a bath, An Xiaoning sat on the bed with her hair wrapped inside a towel. “Then, could you help me tell the fortune of someone else?” asked Jin Qingyan as he brought the hairdryer with him, preparing to help An Xiaoning dry her hair.

“Whose?”

“Chi Rui’er.”

“What are her birth characters?” she asked after tugging at the towel on her head.

“She was born on the first day of the year XXXX, according to the lunar calendar. She lives with her parents in the Northern District,” replied Jin Qingyan.

Memorizing Chi Rui’er’s birth characters, An Xiaoning proceeded to read her fortune. Then she asked, “Out of the three — health, marriage, or career — which aspects of her fortune do you wish to know about?”

In fact, she could already guess which aspect he wished to find out about.

“Will she marry Gu Beicheng?” he asked as he began to dry her hair.

Amidst the loud noises from the hairdryer, An Xiaoming said, “Then, I would need Gu Beicheng’s birth characters as well. I can’t read her marriage with just hers alone.”

“I don’t know his birth characters. Hmm, why don’t you tell me about her career and love life instead?”

“She’s at the peak of her health at the moment. It’s going to deteriorate as she ages. As for her love life, she’s destined to be married once and bear two children. However, she had already aborted one of them. If she aborts another child, she’s bound to be childless for the rest of her life.”

Having heard An Xiaoning’s predictions, Jin Qingyan began to feel uneasy, and his face turned bleak.

Noticing the change in his expression, she asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Can you tell how long her marriage will last? Will they be together until death does them apart?” he asked again, eagerly.

“I can’t read that because we don’t have the birth characters of her husband.” Laying on her back, An Xiaoning finally asked, “What’s your relationship with her? Is she your ex-girlfriend? Or do you have a crush on her?”

She had remembered everything Gu Beicheng said about Chi Rui’er at the ball.

“You don’t have to know much about those, they’re not important,” Jin Qingyan said coldly. He turned off the desk lamp.

Wide awake, An Xiaoning suddenly felt like she was worlds apart from her husband emotionally, though they were physically right beside each other.

It was only understandable for him to not be in love with her. After all, they had only known each other for a few days.

An Xiaoning was positive that he would genuinely fall for her one day, as time passes.

——

After a peaceful night’s sleep, An Xiaoning awoke, only to find that it was pouring outside.

She headed downstairs, but Jin Qingyan was nowhere to be found.

He had left nothing but a note on the table, which read: There’s food in the wok. Check the kennel for a dog.

“A dog?” An Xiaoning thought, intrigued.

She searched the house for a kennel and finally spotted a structure which resembled a miniature house. Inching forward, she caught a glimpse of a pomeranian laying on its stomach.

It was extremely adorable, with a fluffy coat of white fur and a rounded chubby shape.

She instantly fell in love with her new pet and canoodled it in her arms. “Ahh, you’re so cute! Let Mommy see if you’re a girl or a boy,” said a thrilled An Xiaoning as she petted its face gently.

“Oh, you’re a boy. Let’s call you ‘Maomao,’ shall we?” she remarked, confirming the gender of her pet after taking a few looks.

Staring at its big, sparkly eyes, An Xiaoning beamed with euphoria. “Alright, get some rest in the kennel. Mommy will play with you once she’s done eating!” she exclaimed excitedly.

After washing her hands, she opened the lid of the wok. At that instant, as the heavenly aroma of the food wafted up to her nose, she seemed to have forgotten about the slight unhappiness she felt the night before.

How wonderful it is to have a husband who cooks for me, especially since I have poor culinary skills, she thought to herself.

An Xiaoning held Maomao in her arms and played with it after finishing her breakfast. After some time had passed, she heard the sound of the car pulling up in the backyard.

With Maomao in her arms, she walked towards the door where she was greeted by the sight of Jin Qingyan clad in a black coat. He had an umbrella in one hand and a small carrier in another.

“Do you like the dog?” he asked with a raised eyebrow as he put away the umbrella.

“Of course I do. I named it Maomao. What do you think about the name I came up with?”

“Maomao? What a strange name, I don’t like it,” he said in a tone of displeasure.

“Should we name it ‘Rui’er’ then?”

“Nah, let’s just stick to Maomao. Here, I got a wedding ring. Try it on,” he continued, handing her the small carrier he was holding.

After placing Maomao back inside the kennel, An Xiaoning took a seat on the couch and took the box out of the carrier. “Wow, the diamond is huge! It must’ve cost a bomb, didn’t it?” she exclaimed after opening the box, revealing the ring.

“Put it on and see if it fits.”

She put the ring on and scrutinized it carefully from every angle. “It fits perfectly. Weren’t you afraid of getting the wrong size?” she asked.

“I’ve already measured your ring size before I bought it. Do you like it?” he said, turning to face her.

She nodded in approval and joked, “I do. It’s beautiful. I can even exchange it for money when I’m broke in the future.”

The words left him speechless.

“Look how bad you are at taking jokes. I’m just kidding,” reassured An Xiaoning, giggling at his reaction.

“Come here,” he said with an extended arm, gesturing for her to sit closer to him.

An Xiaoning moved closer towards him and rested her head on his shoulder. As she laid in his arms, she felt more secure than ever. She placed the ring back into the box and sat up slightly. “You woke up early today just to cook for me and buy me a wedding ring. It’s been hard on you, hubby. Mmwah (kissing sound)!” said An Xiaoning. She was pouting her lips as she uttered these sweet nothings to Jin Qingyan.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” he blurted while staring at her chest.

Shifting her gaze to where he was staring, she blushed red as a tomato and retorted, “Who said so? I didn’t…”

“You did,” he insisted.

“No.”

“Say that again?” he said teasingly with a smile.

“No, no, I didn’t!”

“Little vixen needs a spanking.”

“…”

Chapter 8: What Are You Waiting For? Get Out of My Sight, Now!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Turning slightly red with anger, An Xiaoning eyed her husband, who was acting as if nothing had happened at all. She wanted nothing more than to expose his true colors, which were hidden beneath a facade.

Indeed, the ball had already commenced.

The crowd was larger than she had expected.

“I’m hungry,” said An Xiaoning to Jin Qingyan. She reached out to hold his hand.

“Come with me,” he said.

They sat down on a sofa elsewhere, facing a young man who was holding a scantily-clad woman in his arms.

“Fill your stomach with something small first. There will be proper dishes later,” said Jin Qingyan as he handed An Xiaoning a plate of appetizers.

An Xiaoning shoved the appetizers into her mouth incessantly, one after another. She was too hungry to even bother about her image and posture, so much so that even Jin Qingyan could not stand watching her any further.

Pursing his lips, he urged An Xiaoning, “Hey, slow down. If you get yourself too full, how are you going to stomach the main dishes later on?”

“Try this, hubby. It’s delicious!” said an excited An Xiaoning, attempting to feed him.

Jin Qingyan watched in embarrassment as she refused to heed his advice.

Not wanting to chide her in public, he had no choice but to admit defeat and allow her to feed him the appetizer.

Unable to contain his amusement, the young man opposite them let out a burst of boisterous laughter and said, “Young Master Jin, this has got to be your new wife, whom I’ve yet to meet.”

Slowing down, An Xiaoning nodded along with her mouth full. Jin Qingyan quickly handed her a drink with a low alcohol content, afraid that she would choke on her food.

“Hi, I’m An Xiaoning, nice to meet you,” An Xiaoning introduced herself, right after taking a sip of the drink to water down the food in her mouth.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Long Tianze,” greeted Long Tianze. As he did, his almond-shaped eyes wandered about. “We’ll be seeing each other rather frequently in the future. Young Master Jin and I have been friends ever since we were born. There’s nothing about him that I don’t know about, other than you… whom I found out about from the news. I have no clue at all as to how you two met and for how long. Well, looks like you’re really important, for him to conceal your identity for so long, until the day you got married,” he continued.

“That’s true. We’ll be spending the rest of our lives together, so of course he has to respect me,” said An Xiaoning proudly, casting a glance at Long Tianze, overjoyed.

“Hahaha,” Long Tianze chuckled. He found her to be rather likable.

Taken aback by her words, Jin Qingyan thought to himself, Spending the rest of our lives together?

That idea had never once crossed his mind.

“Long time no see, Jin Qingyan,” said a cold, deep male voice. Looking in the direction of where the male voice was coming from, An Xiaoning watched as a man donning a full-white suit eased himself into his seat. He had a pair of long, thin eyes, a pronounced nose bridge coupled with thin and flushed red lips, and he wore an eye-catching blue diamond earstud on his earlobe. He exuded a dominating and fearsome aura.

The lad was exceptionally handsome, but he still dulled in comparison with Jin Qingyan.

Coincidentally, the female partner he had brought along was the same woman who had wanted to speak to Jin Qingyan privately earlier.

“Gu Beicheng. It has indeed been a long time since we’ve met, jerk,” said Jin Qingyan with a voice as cold as ice. Anyone could tell with just a look that the two weren’t exactly on good terms with each other.

“The last time we met, you were still battling it out with me over Rui’er. Why… did you get married so soon after? Don’t tell me you’ve given up on love because you were too heartbroken?” Gu Beicheng mocked Jin Qingyan while gently caressing the hair of Chi Rui’er, who sat in his arms.

All of a sudden, Long Tianze pushed the lady in his arms away and hollered in a moment of pique, “Why is it so smelly? Are you trying to stink me to death? What are you waiting for? Get out of my sight, now!” His initial affection turned into an uncontrollable rage.

In order to be his lady, one would first have to possess a good sense of self-awareness and intelligence. Knowing without needing to be told that Long Tianze was not actually referring to her, the lady stood up and excused herself, instantly playing along.

An Xiaoning was tempted to let out a giggle or two, but she stopped herself. Instead, she turned to Jin Qingyan, who appeared extremely upset, and said sarcastically with a smile, “Hubby, you actually fought with him over Chi Rui’er? If he wants that dog so badly, let’s just gift it to him! There’s no point getting all worked up over such a trivial matter.”

“A dog… Rui’er?”

An Xiaoning’s words had caught Jin Qingyan by surprise. Meanwhile, Gu Beicheng chuckled menacingly while Chi Rui’er’s face stiffened. On the other hand, Long Tianze broke into an uncontrollable bout of laughter.

“Yes, yes, she’s right. Qingyan, just give that dog to me, lest you two argue over it. How annoying is that!” added Long Tianze mockingly.

Jin Qingyan had never had a dog; he had zero patience for domestic pets. However, he knew that his wife was just trying to help him out of the predicament.

Kudos to her for coming up with such an idea.

“Honey, didn’t you want to eat hot and spicy lobsters? Let’s go have them somewhere else,” said Jin Qingyan. He stood up after taking another look at Chi Rui’er, who was still canoodled in Gu Beicheng’s arms.

An Xiaoning’s eyes lit up at her husband’s suggestion. “Sure,” she said. She too stood up immediately

Realizing that they were about to leave, Long Tianze added, “I’ll join you guys.”

Gu Beicheng and Chi Rui’er were the only ones left on the couch.

“She’s not a simple woman,” Gu Beicheng said solemnly.

“Damn, she actually had the nerve to insult me. Jin Qingyan has never had a pet, so she was obviously referring to me. Ugh!” grumbled Chi Rui’er, who was raging with anger.

“Why didn’t you expose her then?” he asked.

“I…” she stuttered, not wanting to admit that she was afraid of ruining her image of a dainty, refined lady.

——

“How did you know that I loved eating hot and spicy crayfish?” said An Xiaoning who was riding shotgun. A the same time, she placed a hand on his thigh.

“You’re my wife. Of course I’d know,” Jin Qingyan replied.

An Xiaoqing’s heart began to flutter, and she felt warm and fuzzy from within. “Is Long Tianze really your childhood friend?” she asked.

“You reckon he’d dare to lie in front of me?”

“Of course not. Now that I think of it, you two are really similar.”

“…”

“The lady with Gu Beicheng earlier… Is she Chi Rui’er?” An Xiaoning asked inquisitively. As she spoke, the thought of the lady in purple crossed her mind.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to know about it? Why are you suddenly asking again?” he answered.

An Xiaoning was speechless. She could tell Jin Qingyan was reluctant to go into detail about the lady, and thus, she did not pry any further.

Arriving at a restaurant, the couple quickly entered, with Long Tianze following closely behind.

They then requested a private dining room.

“Hey, peel one for me too!” Long Tianze teased with his mouth open, watching Jin Qingyan peel some crayfish for An Xiaoning.

“Sorry, but I would only do this for my wife,” replied Jin Qingyan as he played along.

“What a typical case of hiberdating[hiberdating: to disregard one’s friends because he is dating someone]!” Long Tianze said playfully with a sigh. “Seems like you don’t remember who was the one who introduced you to fun toys and games, and sneakily brought you the street snacks you were craving but your Mother did not allow you to have, while you were ill… ” he continued, trying to guilt-trip Jin Qingyan.

“How is that?” said Jin Qingyan as he stuffed a peeled crayfish into Long Tianze’s mouth.

“Now that’s better,” chuckled Long Tianze.

Since they still had to drive, the trio refrained from having too much alcohol, though they still had a couple of drinks here and there before leaving.

Once they arrived home, An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan proceeded to take a bath together.

The moment she undressed herself, he scooped her up in one fluid motion, quite effortlessly, and lowered her onto the basin.

An Xiaoning shivered slightly upon coming into contact with the cool surface of the basin. Gazing at the man before her, she broke into an unrestrained smile.

“Why are you smiling?” he asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“What is it?”

“Nothing, really,” she said, placing her arms around his neck. “I just think God has been really good to me. Because I got to marry you,” she continued.

Chapter 33: Before A Gay Meetup, Fu Jiu Flirts With Girls

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


The next day, Fu Jiu took her purse and was about to head out in her school uniform.

“Young Master, wait, wait, wait!” Old Driver Wang was still eating his fried bread stick. “I’m starting the car right now, I’m taking you to school.”

Young Master woke up even earlier today than yesterday?

“No need, I’ll skateboard there.” Fu Jiu stood at the gate and pointed at the skateboard under her foot.

Old Driver Wang made an ‘ah’ sound and said, “You’re not riding in the car anymore?”

“No need, Uncle Wang. Don’t wait for me at the gate later on. It’s autumn now, and it’s getting colder. You are already too old for such chilly weather, I will be fine by myself.”

Fu Jiu’s figure had long disappeared as she was saying this, leaving her voice faintly lingering in his ears.

Old Driver Wang fell into shock right there.

Young Master… was caring for him?

Fu Jiu had been outrageous before; Old Wang knew that the best.

He thought that Young Master acted well recently and only became thoughtful to get some extra pocket money from Madam.

But to his surprise, Young Master had really changed.

He had changed into someone who warmed a person’s heart.

8 a.m. in the morning was when the school was the most crowded.

Various kinds of luxurious limousines were parked and crammed at the gate.

This was nothing strange at Jiang City No.1 Middle School.

Because most of the kids who went there were from rich families, along with the fact that they were at the age where they loved to show off and compete, they got their drivers to send them to school.

Then, a handsome human figure flew by in the narrow path between the rows of limousines!

It was a blur; one could only see that eye catching cropped silver hair.

That blur was Fu Jiu. Her left leg was on the skateboard, and she was wearing pure black headphones. Her uniform was fluttering with the wind because of her leg’s movements, showing a bit of the fair skin on her waist. That figure was so pretty that many girls wanted to take out their phones and snap a picture.

“So cool! I thought he was too cool when he was getting interviewed yesterday! Now, with that skateboard, he’s even cooler!”

“What should I do, I feel like changing my dream lover already, Fu Jiu, Fu Jiu…”

As if Fu Jiu heard the girls talking, she turned her head and curled up the corner of her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, countless girls were awestruck…

Everyone changed the way they looked at Fu Jiu after the incident, especially that female student who didn’t come from a wealthy family—Xue Yaoyao.

Today was her first day back in school, and she took the initiative in requesting to be assigned to the same class as Fu Jiu.

When she saw Fu Jiu walking into the classroom, she abruptly raised the bun in her hands. “My mum made this herself. She, she gives you her thanks.”

Because of Xue Yaoyao’s actions, the whole class looked in Fu Jiu’s direction, which was followed by a big round of discussion.

“There’s no way Fu Jiu will eat her bun. What if that dirty stuff makes his stomach sick?”

“Exactly. Hey, is it possible that she has a crush on Fu Jiu?”

“Gosh, doesn’t she look at herself in the mirror, please. Look at that figure of hers, she’s simply a fat pig, but she still dares to fantasize about Fu Jiu?”

Hearing that, Xue Yaoyao bit her lip in embarrassment. She only wanted to thank him; she didn’t want to give him trouble.

But she forgot that she was a joke herself. With this point in mind, Xue Yaoyao wanted to retract her hands.

But to her utter surprise, that young man took off his headphones and turned around. Suddenly, he took a big bite of her bun with his snow white teeth. “Mmm… delicious, I actually haven’t had breakfast yet. Thanks.”

That voice still carried a sense of lethargic grace from just waking up not too long ago, adding to his smile that could melt the snow.

It was not just Xue Yaoyao; even the pretty girls in class couldn’t stop their hearts from speeding up…

Chapter 32: Give You a Taste of Liking Someone!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


This… this person is ballsy!

Wouldn’t CEO simply slaughter him in his rage?

Secretary Liang planned to go home early, but now he changed his mind and stayed.

Seeing his CEO getting teased was way more interesting than watching TV shows.

Unfortunately, just as he made this decision, Qin Mo took his notebook laptop and said to him in an indifferent voice, “Secretary Liang, since you enjoy company drama that much, please stay here and work overnight. I will come back to check on the results tomorrow.”

Secretary Liang: ” … ” CEO, you can’t do this to me!!!

Qin Mo pressed on the elevator’s button, walked into the break room on the rooftop, and lifted the corner of his mouth. A smile blossomed, like an eternal ice flower in the north pole.

Fu Jiu sent over a “?” after not seeing a response.

“Ding.”

Just as Qin Mo sat beside the floor window and reopened his notebook, he saw this message.

He slowly replied, “I am not interested in guys, but if you are a girl, I will give you a taste of how I like someone.”

He typed “like” with extra strength!

It was absolutely not anything innocent.

Fu Jiu understood the hidden message and felt heat burning in her cheeks.

In order to not spoil the relationship before their meeting, Fu Jiu cleverly switched topics, “So, at what specific time will you be free tomorrow, morning or afternoon?”

“Afternoon.”

Another one-word message. Fu Jiu mused to herself that this man was a man of few words unless she upset him.

Fu Jiu looked at her watch. “Then let’s meet after school. My last class will finish at 6 p.m. I can be at that Lan Ning Cafe around University A at 6:15 p.m., be there or be square.”

With that, Fu Jiu went offline.

To her surprise, there came another message, which was not so warm. “Hold on a sec.”

“Hm?” Fu Jiu raised her eyebrow.

Qin Mo’s eyes were indifferent. “Why do you want to meet up?”

“Well, it does kind of bother me being chased like that.” Fu Jiu sent this over, putting down her towel and waiting for a reply. Of course, she couldn’t say the true reason online.

Qin Mo only replied, “Heh.”

He was rather cold. Obviously, he didn’t buy that at all.

Then he added, “Give me your contact info.”

Fu Jiu was thinking about that too. She didn’t want to give him her cell phone number, so she gave him her WeChat ID: “SPADEZ”

“Got it,” the other party replied again, and this time, without any punctuation.

The words were truly like the person himself, so arrogant.

It seemed that this Almighty CEO wasn’t interested in talking to her any longer.

After all, girls were more popular in the world of games.

However, she had seen him already.

She would just ask for Qin Mo once she arrived at the cafe.

What if Almighty Qin got a VIP room or something and didn’t give out any information?

That was fine; she would just use WeChat.

After she had figured that all out, Fu Jiu turned off her laptop and went to bed. She didn’t have her phone with her, so she didn’t know that at this time, three friend request notifications popped up on her phone, waiting to get her confirmation…

On the rooftop of Qin Corporation, outside the ceiling-to-floor window, the whole city was lit up at night, which was reflected inch by inch in Qin Mo’s eyes.

He held the wine glass with one hand and looked at his phone screen. His eyes turned cold bit by bit…

Still not confirmed?

Nice, very nice!

Just watch how he would fix “him” up well tomorrow when they met!

Chapter 31: Qin Mo Asked: Before A Gay Meetup, Are You A Boy Or A Girl?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Qin Mo’s eyes became deeper, and he didn’t reply for a moment.

Fu Jiu wasn’t in a hurry either. She sat on her chair, tapping her chin with her fingertip, and looked at that chat box.

After about five seconds, a word finally popped up.

“Sure.”

Qin Mo typed that.

Fu Jiu was going to ask about the details such as where, when, and how to contact him, but she was interrupted by the other party.

“I’m still in a meeting, let’s talk about the details later.”

He sounded like he was ordering her, replying in such a cold tone without the slightest bit of warmth.

But… he replied to her in the middle of a meeting.

The Almighty really paid attention to her, right?

Fu Jiu curled her thin lips playfully. “Awesome, I’ll wait.”

Qin Mo glanced over that “I’ll wait,” and closed his computer.

The secretary was behind him, and shock was written all over his face.

Did he see it wrongly?

Why did he have the impression that CEO Qin smiled just now?!

When Qin Mo returned to the meeting room, all the higher-ups quieted down at once.

But what did the CEO do during those ten minutes of absence? The curiosity was killing them!

It seemed like he was playing games?

Since when did games become so appealing?!

Qin Mo didn’t pay them any attention. He slowly walked to his expensive armchair made of genuine leather and crossed his legs slightly. His grand aura was extremely suppressing and shocking.

“Go on.”

With that, all of the management gathered themselves and concentrated.

“CEO Qin, from this season’s gaming report, there are fifty companies in the whole city…”

The murmurs in the meeting room faded.

In the Fu residence, Fu Jiu was sitting in front of her laptop. She figured that meetings could take some time, especially evening meetings. They wouldn’t wrap up so quickly.

She gamed for two rounds and got a FC. Then she got ready for a shower with a towel in her hand.

Things can wait after my shower.

On the other end, Qin Mo finished his meeting and reopened his silver notebook computer.

His secretary was standing still beside him. He didn’t dare to speak up or move, but he couldn’t control his eyes.

Although his CEO was at present a sacred existence in the world of electronic gaming nowadays, his CEO had never chatted with anyone while gaming!

What… happened today… This was the second time…he was seeing his CEO typing for the second time now?

“Still there?”

This was what their CEO sent.

But the other party seemed to be AFK.

No reply.

Their CEO didn’t move. He just sat there with his legs crossed and his eyes on the screen.

Is the CEO… going to wait for the other party?

The secretary felt shocked again!

Who the hell was that person who’s interesting enough to make the CEO wait?

“I’m here, I’m here, I was taking a shower.” Fu Jiu saw the notification light as soon as she got out of the shower. She typed with one hand and dried her hair with the other as she replied.

Droplets of water dripped down from her cropped hair. They slid along the side of her androgynous face and seeped into her white shirt. That picture right then and there was extremely appealing.

Qin Mo sat in the huge meeting room, and when he saw the reply, he asked bluntly, “Are you a boy or a girl?”

Fu Jiu paused, and her eyes blinked slightly. “Male.”

After replying, Fu Jiu added another sentence, “What? Almighty Qin, don’t tell me you have a crush on me?”

Hearing that, his cold and lonely black eyes burned up with terrifying flames.

The secretary behind him couldn’t help but cough out severely!

This… this person is ballsy!

Chapter 61: I’ll Explain It to You


Guan Sandao received a call from Jiang Tong yesterday. He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He immediately thought that Jiang Tong’s might have gotten his number from Zhou Mingfei. Otherwise, how would Jiang Tong know his phone number? The thing that he was terrified of was that Jiang Tong would have told Zhou Mingfei that he had sent people to follow her. The whole Z City knew that Zhou Mingfei was protecting Zhou Jingyun. The people in the underworld especially knew the fact that no matter who you provoke, never provoke Zhou Jingyun. That would be even more terrifying than provoking Zhou Mingfei! If you provoked Zhou Mingfei, with Zhou Mingfei’s personality, he could still give you a chance to explain. However, if you provoked Zhou Jingyun, you might not even have the right to speak.


Yesterday, although Guan Sandao had sent people to follow Jiang Tong, but since Jiang Tong had never been separated from Zhou Jingyun the entire time, it could be considered as following Zhou Jingyun. If Zhou Mingfei found out about this… Guan Sandao broke out in cold sweat just thinking about it. Zhou Mingfei had promoted him, so he knew Zhou Mingfei’s methods too well. Guan Sandao was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, and… even Zhou Mingfei might not even give him the chance to explain.


Last night, Guan Sandao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He had picked up his phone many times, wanting to call Jiang Tong to explain, and also probe to find out if Jiang Tong had told Zhou Mingfei about the matter. However, in the end, he did not make the call. When Jiang Tong hung up the phone, she said she wanted to sleep. If he called Jiang Tong again, it would definitely upset Jiang Tong. By then, the matter which previously might not be a big deal would become a big problem because of this phone call.


Guan Sandao did not sleep for the entire night. He left the house at dawn. When he arrived at Jiang Tong’s house, he did not go upstairs to disturb her. He just waited downstairs for Jiang Tong.


Jiang Tong looked Guan Sandao up and down. He shrank his shoulders, and his fierce face had a subservient and flattering smile. Because he hadn’t slept the whole night, he looked a lot more dispirited and even had dark circles under his eyes.


“Miss Jiang, I actually came here to explain to you what happened yesterday. I didn’t…” Guan Sandao said carefully.


Jiang Tong waved her hand to indicate that Guan Sandao didn’t need to say anything. She turned her head to look at the alley. “Have you had breakfast? There’s a good breakfast place inside.” As she said that, she walked into the alley, and Guan Sandao immediately caught up with her.

1

“I haven’t told Zhou Mingfei yet. Relax a little.” Jiang Tong glanced at Guan Sandao and casually spoke to him. She knew what Guan Sandao was thinking and what he was afraid of. Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Tong’s words, Guan Sandao instantly relaxed, as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.


“Did you come alone?” Jiang Tong asked casually.


“The others are outside on the street. I didn’t let them come. It’s early in the morning. It’s not good for the neighbors to see too many people,” Guan Sandao said.


Jiang Tong smiled. Guan Sandao was really good at doing things. She had always lived here. If Guan Sandao came with so many people, the neighbors would be furiously gossiping away.


Jiang Tong and Guan Sandao walked into the alley. There were convenience stores and fast food restaurants in the alley. Jiang Tong brought Guan Sandao into a breakfast restaurant. It was a small and dirty restaurant. The breakfast was just simple soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks. As it was already after seven o’clock in the morning, the peak hour to get breakfast at this place had already passed. Currently, there was only one table occupied by the customers in the breakfast restaurant.


Jiang Tong casually ordered and then sat down with Guan Sandao near the entrance. Guan Sandao looked around when he sat down and observed the environment of the restaurant. He had not eaten in such a small restaurant for many years. Ever since he started working, he had been going to high-end places and eating in a very particular way. Rich people were particular about their food. Therefore, he did not expect Jiang Tong to come to such a place to eat. He felt that Jiang Tong was too low-key!


The steamed buns and fried dough sticks were ready-made. The breakfast staff quickly served them up.


“What do you want from me?” Jiang Tong picked up the fried dough sticks and took a bite.


“Miss Jiang, I want to explain to you. You must have misunderstood. I have no malice toward you. I…” Guan Sandao began to explain. Of course, he wouldn’t reveal his true thoughts. He could not tell Jiang Tong that he was following her to get close to her, right? He could only find other reasons, and the reason he found was to protect Jiang Tong!


Perhaps Guan Sandao could not think of any normal reason, so he found such an awkward reason that did not even count as a reason. Of course, it did not matter how he explained it. The most important thing was Jiang Tong’s reaction and Jiang Tong’s attitude.

Chapter 60: Li Sicheng Never Jokes

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Seeing that he was driving himself, Su Qianci more or less had an idea of his itinerary. If he was doing anything business-related, he would not be driving himself. And for private matters, he never took a chauffeur. That was why no one could learn anything private about him. Knowing that, Su Qianci did not bother to ask and answered, “She is my high school classmate.”

Li Sicheng nodded and relaxed his expression a bit. “Do not get too close with her.”

“Why?”

Li Sicheng made a turn and stated, “It is always wise to keep your distance from a woman who would sell her body for money.”

“How is that possible? She is not like that,” Su Qianci said resolutely.

Yu Lili was always positive and happy, a good friend to her in high school. From what she remembered, Yu Lili was not the kind of woman who would sell herself for money.

Li Sicheng’s eyes became darker as he glanced at Su Qianci. It seemed that he meant to say something. However, very soon, he looked away.

“So, you know Ou Ming?” Su Qianci changed the subject.

“I know better than you who he is.”

He knew Ou Ming better than Su Qianci? Su Qianci suddenly felt odd.

How? Maybe they…

Feeling the odd look cast by Su Qianci, Li Sicheng glanced at her and explained, “Ou Ming is my bro.”

Bro? Someone like Li Sicheng had a bro? Su Qianci was astonished, gazing at her husband. He looked serious and cold. It did not seem like he was joking.

That’s right, Li Sicheng never jokes.

However, having spent five years with him in her previous lifetime, she had never learned that he had a bro.

Li Sicheng looked at Su Qianci and saw the confusion and doubt in her wide eyes. Looking away, he drove quietly and soon got them back to their house.

The following days were unexpectedly uneventful. It was summer vacation, so Su Qianci had nothing to do. She signed up for a jujitsu class and went there daily. On a Saturday afternoon, she got a call.

“Hello, Qianqian.” It was the voice of Lu Yihan, carefree as always.

“What’s up, Lu?”

“What a forgetful lady! Don’t you remember we said we would have dinner on Saturday? You have time tonight?”

“Yes.”

“It seems you have a lot more leisure time after becoming a rich lady. I used to have to wait until you finish working to ask you out. How I envy you!”

Hearing Lu Yihan’s dramatic tone, Su Qianci couldn’t help chuckling. She lay down on the couch and said, “No matter what you say, I will still order the most expensive items on the menu.”

“How did you know that I was trying to avoid that? What do you want to eat? I will fulfill your wish no matter what.”

“How about that barbecue stand in front of our high school?”

Lu Yihan almost fainted. He sighed and said, “Mrs. Li, you don’t need to save for me. Thanks to you, I have money now.”

Su Qianci’s one hundred thousand dollars was a timely save for Lu Yihan. In just a couple of days, he had managed to earn ten times the money.

However, Su Qianci was not joking. She smiled and said, “I mean it. I could not afford it in high school. Now with someone treating me to it, I would love to try.”

“All right. Let’s go then. Shall I pick you up?”

“No need. I’ll go there myself.”

“Okay, see you in a bit.”

Su Qianci hung up and went to change. Luckily, she still had some of her old clothes with her. Otherwise, she would be pointed at like an alien wearing her expensive outfits at the barbecue stand.

Li Sicheng did not ask what Su Qianci was going to do as he saw her leaving the house humming a little song. However, Li Sicheng did not expect that he would be cuckolded in just two hours.

Chapter 60: Maintaining the Balance


In recent years, the top four people in the underworld of City Z had been fighting both openly and secretly. They all wanted to destroy each other and make their power grew bigger. They even wanted to monopolize! The peak of the conflict broke out in February this year. An explosion happened at a massage hotel under Yan Baohua. It was reported that the underground gas pipeline of the hotel had leaked and an accidental explosion had occurred, causing many employees to die. It was an accident.


Of course, that was not an accident. Although no one died, it had caused one of Yan Baohua’s trusted agents, the nominal boss of the hotel, to be directly sent to prison. He had not been rescued until now. This matter directly made Zhou Mingfei furious. Logically speaking, Zhou Mingfei should be biased towards Guan Sandao since Guan Sandao was personally promoted by him. It had been several years. If Zhou Mingfei really supported him, then Guan Sandao should have surpassed Liu Da and the others by a head now. He might even be able to monopolize. However, Zhou Mingfei did not do that because he wanted a balance.


A core disciple from a super family could not be an idiot. Zhou Mingfei had his own wisdom. He was very clear that once a situation where a family monopolized the entire city, whether or not he could control it well was a problem. There was also another problem, that was the shot hit the bird that poked its head out.


In the current era, if one tried to act like a dominant family, one would not be far from death.


What Zhou Mingfei wanted was stability. Therefore, although Guan Sandao knew him first, in the past few years, Zhou Mingfei’s relationship with the other three people had maintained more or less the same. It seemed that he could be considered as a trusted aide. However, he maintained a sense of distance that was difficult to break through. Zhou Mingfei was in a sensual business, so it was inevitable that he had to form a relationship with the people in City Z. If he wanted his business to be big and do well, he had to deal with Guan Sandao and the others. He did not only maintain a close relationship with them, but also keep a distance from them, maintaining a balance between the four of them. He understood them and could control them.


After the explosion, Zhou Mingfei gathered Guan Sandao, Liu Da, Yan Baohua, Liao Langkun, as well as famous figures in the underworld and the older generation. He flew into a rage and directly told them that whoever dared to stir up trouble again, he would personally kill the person! These secret meetings were the March meetings that Jiang Tong mentioned when he used Zhou Mingfei’s name to call Liu Da yesterday.


Jiang Tong went back to her room to get her laptop, then returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa and began to browse through the news. Jiang Tong didn’t think too much about the matter of Guan Sandao sending people to follow her. She knew Guan Sandao’s personality and style of doing things, so she knew why he did it. In fact, Guan Sandao wanted to take advantage of Jiang Tong. He wanted to get to know Jiang Tong first, then find the right opportunity, or even create a coincidence, and then secretly build a connection with her. With Jiang Tong’s identity, Guan Sandao would have an advantage in the competition with Liu Da and the others in the future! This was also the reason why Jiang Tong didn’t pay attention to Guan Sandao even though she knew that he was following her. She knew that there was no danger. Not only was there no danger, Guan Sandao might very well bring her benefits.


At eleven o’clock in the evening, Jiang Tong put away her computer and went to sleep. The next morning, when she was ready to wake up, she picked up her phone and looked at the new date with a smile on her face. Although she had long confirmed that the time would not reset again, she was still happy when she saw the new date because having a future in life was really great!


She ran too much yesterday. Her legs hurt a little when she got up, but it did not affect her walking. She got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast. When Jiang Tong walked out of the building, a strong man suddenly stood up straight. He threw the cigarette away, stepped on it to put it out. Then he waved his hand to sweep the smoke around him. He looked at Jiang Tong and said, “Miss Jiang, yesterday I…”


“You are very free?” Jiang Tong rolled her eyes. This strong man was Guan Sandao. Looking at the cigarette butts all over the floor, she didn’t know how long he had been here and how long he had waited.


Guan Sandao was really scared yesterday. He wasn’t afraid of Jiang Tong, although in his heart, Jiang Tong was also extraordinary. His subordinates reported to him that Qian Mang was talking to Jiang Tong alone outside the restaurant yesterday. He also knew that when Jiang Tong was sent home by Zhou Jingyun, the two of them had even kissed each other and were reluctant to part. However, Guan Sandao did not understand Jiang Tong. He only knew that Jiang Tong was very capable and might have a powerful background. However, this had nothing to do with him. In fact, he was afraid of Zhou Mingfei.

Chapter 59: Stop Following Me


Jiang Tong was really annoyed. The other party didn’t tread a fine line.


“Ah?” The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, he realized who was calling this unfamiliar phone number, and his tone was a little flustered, “Um… Miss Jiang, you might have some misunderstanding. I’m not…”


“It’s already late. I need to rest. If there’s anything, you can call me directly. Don’t send anyone else to follow me.” Jiang Tong didn’t want to listen to his excuses and hung up the phone. She held her phone and looked out of the alley. Then, she closed the curtains. In fact, Jiang Tong knew that the other party wouldn’t do any harm to her because the person who sent someone to follow her could be said to be one of her people. This person was Guan Sandao! Jiang Tong drove Guan Sandao’s beloved car off yesterday, and she saw him at Zhou Mingfei’s place this morning. She also returned the car keys to him. From Guan Sandao’s point of view, he couldn’t be considered to know Jiang Tong at all. It could only be said that they had met before, but he still sent people to follow her.


Jiang Tong could figure out why Guan Sandao did this was because she was now Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend, and Zhou Mingfei’s sister-in-law! Moreover, she already had Zhou Jingyun’s “child” in her womb.


Currently, there were a total of four big shots in the underworld of City Z. Other than Guan Sandao and Liu Da, there were also Yan Baohua and Liao Langkun. These four people controlled more than 90% of the entertainment and leisure businesses in City Z. Moreover, they were involved in many other businesses such as quarries and logistics. In the 1990s of the last century, City Z had a situation where only a family dominated the underworld. There was a role of “Godfather” because the society was more chaotic at that time.


However, after the new century, the older generation either died, went to jail, or whitewashed for those who survived. In addition, the law became perfect and strict. It was very difficult for City Z to have such a lawless character like a “Godfather”, who had absolute power. The more developed a city was, the harder it was for such a person to appear! Although City Z had developed in the past few years, it still could not be compared to the top-tier cities in the country. However, City Z was still a big city with a population of more than ten million. In the city, as long as it was a bar, KTV, bath, sauna, and other businesses, it was inevitable that it would involve connections and things related to the underworld. So now there were these four people: Guan Sandao, Liu Da, Yan Baohua, and Liao Langkun. Among them, Yan Baohua was the oldest and the most experienced. He was already over 50 this year, followed by Liu Da and Liao Langkun. Both of them were not even 50 years old. However, Guan Sandao was different. He was only 33 years old this year!


If one looked closely at the changes in the City Z’s businesses over the past twenty years, one would discover a shocking fact. Guan Sandao was a very scary person! His rise was astonishing! He was a true self-made man. He used twelve years to catch up with the old forces that Yan Baohua, Liu Da, Liao Lang Kun, and others represented. He was twenty to thirty years younger than them but was sitting on the same level as them! He had no money, no background, and no connections. But he did it! How could he do it? This had to be said about his ambition. Not only was he extremely smart, but he was also very, very good at playing games.


Six years ago, Zhou Mingfei, who was only twenty years old and still studying in university, brought an astronomical amount of money and his family’s terrifying connections to select a site in City Z to build a building. According to the plan at that time, it would take at least two years for the building to be completed, regardless of the cost and speed of construction. Two years later, Zhou Mingfei had just graduated from university. In the first two years, although Zhou Mingfei was still in the university, he would often come out to meet some people. The Zhou family’s connections were very terrifying. Most people were unwilling to offend him. Zhou Mingfei quickly established his own connections, opened the Lihao Ballroom, and laid the foundation for the Zhou family’s expansion.


It was during this period of time that Guan Sandao got to know Zhou Mingfei before Liu Da and the others! At that time, Guan Sandao was already influencing, but he still couldn’t compare to the other three. However, Liu Da and the others didn’t dare to do anything to Guan Sandao rashly because even if they killed him, they would suffer a big loss too.


After Guan Sandao got to know Zhou Mingfei, he had helped Guan Sandao. Four years ago, Guan Sandao had reached the same level as Liu Da and the others, and successfully changed the number of big bosses of the underworld in City Z from three to four!

Chapter 58: Nothing to Be Afraid of


“Think of a way to solve this.” Jiang Tong waved her hand and pushed the blame onto Ji Lanzhou. She was just sleeping with a man. She didn’t want to spend her whole life with him.


Ji Lanzhou held Jiang Tong’s waist with one hand and suddenly pinched it hard. “Why? Don’t you want to marry into the Ji family?” Although Ji Lanzhou didn’t want to have any follow-up with Jiang Tong, her attitude was really displeasing. Perhaps this was the pride of a man?


“Good girl, you and I both have the same thoughts in our hearts. Don’t be so serious with me here.” Jiang Tong dodged for a moment, she smiled and touched Ji Lanzhou’s well-defined face. “My future is the sea of stars, not marrying into a rich family and becoming a rich lady. Besides, what I don’t lack the most is money.” Now, she wanted to play with the information in her hands. She wanted to make life challenging everywhere so that she would not waste the 500 years of her life.


Ji Lanzhou laughed softly and raised his head to kiss Jiang Tong’s lips again. Should he say it or not, this woman was sometimes damn domineering! Just as the two of them were about to go overboard, Ji Lanzhou’s phone rang. It was his mother.


Ji Lanzhou pressed on Jiang Tong’s back and held her in his arms to calm her down for a while before he took his hand out to answer the phone. Jiang Tong listened to the conversation between Ji Lanzhou and his mother. She lifted her body and tugged at the hem of her clothes that had been messed up. Then, she got up from Ji Lanzhou’s leg.


Ji Lanzhou hung up the phone and pulled Jiang Tong down to kiss her again. He rubbed her lips, “Shao Ying is not easy to deal with. Not only is she ruthless, she is also very stubborn. She treats Zhou Jingyun as her own property and does not allow anyone to covet him. If you pretend to be Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend, you will definitely run into Shao Ying. Be careful.”


“It’s just Shao Ying. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Jiang Tong smiled confidently.


“Okay.” Ji Lanzhou only reminded her. He still had confidence in Jiang Tong. “Alright, I’ll be leaving then.” Ever since he did not return home last night, his mother had been watching him even more closely than before. Once he left the sight of the bodyguards, his mother would call him.


After Ji Lanzhou left, Jiang Tong went downstairs. She changed her clothes and put on her university sportswear to go out for exercise. She needed to exercise. Her physical fitness was very good. She looked thin, but her body was very healthy. She didn’t need to do any high-intensity exercises as she only needed to maintain a good condition. But… she didn’t want to waste her own abilities.


The so-called abilities referred to physical abilities, such as fighting. Jiang Tong had practiced fighting before and had mastered a very comprehensive fighting technique, as well as terrifying body’s conditioned reflexes. With her current physical condition, five or six men might not be able to beat her. She could rely on her nimble steps and body movements to dodge her opponent’s attacks, just like a professional boxer. When an ordinary person fought against a professional boxer, a professional boxer could even stand there without moving his feet. By shaking his head and body to dodge the attacks, it was impossible for an ordinary person to hit a professional boxer’s head!


Jiang Tong could also do this. As long as she attacked, it was impossible for her opponent to dodge. Even if she was facing a group of people, she would have the ability to deal with them one by one as long as she was not completely surrounded. However, the problem now was that no matter how strong her combat ability was, it would be limited by her physical fitness. In the past five hundred years, only thought, memory, knowledge, and consciousness could be accumulated. Her body would be completely reset. Therefore, Jiang Tong decided to start training her body from today, just to make herself stronger!


Soon, two hours later, Jiang Tong ran back to the alley covered in sweat at 11 o’clock in the night. She gradually slowed down her footsteps, from jogging to walking. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, and her clothes stuck to her body. Before she entered the apartment building, she suddenly stopped. She frowned and thought for a while before she walked in. The person was still staring at her. He had been following her for an entire day. How annoying!


Since Jiang Tong knew who had sent someone to follow her, she was not worried that the other party would threaten her. She had thought that the other party would stop after knowing where her home was, but now it seemed to be endless.


After Jiang Tong returned home, she went to take a shower first. After she came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, she picked up her phone and walked to the window. She looked down at the alley and then dialed a phone number.


The phone was quickly connected. The other party’s voice was cold, “Hello.”


“I’ve been followed for a day. It’s time to stop. Isn’t it?” Jiang Tong said lightly.

Chapter 7: Looking for An Xiaoning

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In haste, An Xiaoning wolfed down her meal, pretending not to understand what she just heard.

After breakfast, An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan went ahead to the tailor for their wedding dress and suit. Not wanting to waste any time, they then proceeded to take their wedding photos as well.

They picked out a wedding dress, got her makeup done, and took a couple of outdoor shots at the beach, followed by a few other ones at the studio. By the end of it all, An Xiaoning began to feel like her legs were jelly – they were almost giving out on her.

“Put on your best dress tonight,” instructed Jin Qingyan while they made their way home.

“Why?” An Xiaoning asked.

“I’m taking you to a ball,” he explained.

She agreed without hesitation, thinking that it would not matter much since she could get a good rest before evening arrived.

Jin Qingyan then drove away after dropping her off at the doorstep.

She punched in the passcode and unlocked the digital lock on the door. Dog-tired, she quickly made her way to her bedroom upstairs and sprawled onto the bed, not wanting to move another inch.

“Boss, someone is calling you!” went her mobile ringtone. Looking at the caller display which showed a local unknown number, she picked up the call. “Hello?”

“Hey, cousin. It’s me.”

Instead of hanging up when she heard Wang Fangfang’s voice, An Xiaoning asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Cousin, I know I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry. Will you forgive me?” Wang Fangfang apologized.

“Though I’m unsure of how you’d even have the cheek to ask for my forgiveness, I’m afraid I can’t. I’m not a saint nor God. I can’t be that magnanimous and forgiving,” An Xiaoning replied sarcastically.

“An Xiaoning! I apologized to you sincerely from the bottom of my heart, yet you’re still so unforgiving and obstinate. Who do you think you are? Marrying a rich husband does not make you high and mighty!” Wang Fangfang snapped scornfully.

“Look at you getting all worked up. Don’t embarrass yourself again by calling me. Watch out, don’t hurt yourself getting too upset. Otherwise, Shi Shaochuan might just go ahead and have another affair again,” mocked An Xiaoning. She ended the call right after, not giving Wang Fangfang a chance to retaliate.

Feeling much less exhausted, An Xiaoning laid down in bed again and sandwiched a pillow between her legs. After a big stretch, she set an alarm on her phone and dozed off in no time.

The alarm went off at 5 PM sharp, waking An Xiaoning up.

By now, she was already famished, and her stomach let out a low grumble. She quickly took a bath, dried her hair, and did her makeup — all in one go.

Jin Qingyan arrived to pick her up just as she went downstairs.

Clad in a pink qipao[qipao: traditional Chinese body-hugging dress for women] and a pastel-colored shawl draped over her shoulders, An Xiaoning looked more flawless than ever — what with her face boasting immaculate makeup and her long, curly locks cascading down her back.

“What ball is it? What are the people there going to be like?” asked An Xiaoning, trying to distract herself from her hunger.

“You’ll know when we get there,” answered Jin Qingyan.

“That’s as good as not replying,” scorned An Xiaoning.

All eyes were on An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan as the couple entered the venue with their arms locked. They could already guess who the ravishing beauty was by their body language.

A bevy of single socialites stared at An Xiaoning with a look of disdain on their faces; all were green with envy.

“Is that Jin Qingyan’s new wife?” they began to gossip.

“Yes, they just registered their marriage not long ago. I heard they had their wedding photoshoot today.”

“She’s pretty good-looking, except she lacks class and elegance. What a shame. I heard she comes from a small village, with lowly status.”

“Exactly, it must be true love between them…”

“…”

Although the gossipmongers were careful not to be too loud, An Xiaoning still managed to hear everything they had to say — be it good or bad — thanks to her impeccable hearing.

As she continued to stride forward, she felt Jin Qingyan slowing down in his tracks.

Glancing ahead, she noticed a lady dressed in a violet gown with a goblet of wine in her hands, chatting merrily with other guests. Though her looks were not extraordinary, she had perfectly poised mannerisms and exuded a certain air of elegance, which were bound to leave a lasting impression.

Shifting her attention to the couple, she stood up and began to walk gracefully towards them, a gentle smile on her lips.

“Jingyan, I need a word with you privately,” said the lady while shooting An Xiaoning a glance.

Sensing something peculiar about the relationship between the lady and Jin Qingyan, An Xiaoning excused herself. “Excuse me while I visit the restroom.”

“Why did you do that? I know you don’t love her. You’re only trying to spite me and get your revenge because I got together with Bei Cheng,” questioned Chi Rui’er as she stared at the man before her.

“You said you wanted a word with me. Is this all you have to say?” asked Jin Qingyan, his eyes fixed on her.

“Jingyan, you can’t fool me,” Chi Rui’er said firmly, without doubt. “It’s not too late to turn back now. I don’t wish to see you acting like this, torturing yourself because of me,” she continued.

“We’ve already registered our marriage. Don’t you watch the news?” retorted Jin Qingyan.

“You…” replied Chi Rui’er, at a loss for words.

———

As she sat on the toilet bowl, it suddenly struck An Xiaoning that she was the lawful wife of Jin Qingyan. Why did she have to allow them to have a conversation privately?

Could there be a secret between them which was not to be divulged? she thought in her head.

She had no idea how long they were going to take.

After she was done with her business, An Xiaoning sat atop the toilet seat cover for 15 minutes straight.

Wondering where she had gone, Jin Qingyan began to look for her himself.

Since he could not enter the Ladies’ Room, he waited patiently for someone to exit or enter it, hoping that they could help him call for An Xiaoning. However, there was not a single soul in sight as time passed. He had no choice but to enter the restroom.

“An Xiaoning?” he called.

“Yes?” she responded, at the same time standing up and exiting the cubicle. At that very instant, she heard a female voice from outside, approaching the restroom. A quick-witted An Xiaoning frantically grasped at Jin Qingyan and shoved him into a cubicle.

Two women entered just as she closed the cubicle’s door shut.

Standing on tiptoe, she whispered in his ear, “Why did you come inside the Ladies?”

She was thinking that he could have simply given her a phone call if he was looking for her. Little did she know that he had forgotten to bring his mobile phone out with him that evening.

“To look for you, of course. Why else would I be in here?” Jin Qingyan asked teasingly. As he did so, he stroked her long locks.

“This is the Ladies’ Room, how daring of you,” she replied with a change of expression, trying to suppress her voice.

“What’s wrong with that?” he asked, his lips brushing lightly across her face. The warmth of his breath sent her into a state of nervousness. Her legs turned to jelly.

An Xiaoning gazed at him, speechless. Her heart was ricocheting against her chest. She could still hear the women chatting incessantly, along with the sound of water trickling from the tap in the background.

She stood rooted to the ground, afraid to even speak, for she was fearful that the women would find out about Jin Qingyan hiding in the Ladies’.

…

Initially, he had purely wanted to just look for her, nothing more.

Who knew…

Jin Qingyan likened An Xiaoning to an aged wine — incredibly addictive after savoring it just once, leaving one begging for more because it tastes better and better with each sip, while the aftertaste lingers in one’s mouth.

She had silky smooth hair, and a pair of eyes that sparkled like diamonds, coupled with a pair of luscious lips. What a fine woman, indeed.

For a period of time, no one entered the restroom, perhaps because the ball had commenced.

The pair of newlyweds exited the toilet, feeling like a huge load was lifted off their chests — there was no longer anyone within their vicinity. And thank heavens: Jin Qingyan would have surely made the headlines if he had gotten caught in the act of trespassing into the Ladies’ Room.

Chapter 6: Husband, I Was Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


The car left the small village at the speed of light. After they reached the highway, An Xiaoning opened the windows partially — under the dark, starry sky, the cool air conditioning blew on her face and made it feel slightly refreshed.

“You are someone with many stories,” Jin Qingyan said firmly. “It seems like you really hate coming back here.”

“I had weak birth characters. According to my mother, ever since I was born, I was a curse to my family. Then the people around me started having bad things happening to them all the time. They put the blame on me and said I was the cause of it all.” Thinking of these scenes from her younger days, An Xiaoning was still torn by the old memories. “Ever since I could remember, I’d been subjected to taunts and horrible insults by the other villagers — they think I’m an ill omen. There was one year, most of the pigs in the whole village died of an epidemic. They blamed it on me again and came to my house, demanding punishment for a reincarnated evil spirit like me. The method of punishment was to be tied to a huge stage surrounded by firewood splashed with gasoline — they wanted to burn me to death.”

Jin Qingyan urgently probed, “Then what happened?”

“I’m ultimately still my parent’s flesh and blood. They naturally wouldn’t have stomached seeing me get burned to death. They sent me to the mountains — I think the word ‘sent’ still sounds quite pleasant to hear. And so every time I think of this, I’ll say that my parents sent me to the mountains since I was young. But actually, I was abandoned at my master’s house. Only when my master passed away was I forced to go back to that home.”

At that point, An Xiaoning held onto his arm. “Now, you’re my family — my husband — you will treat me well right?”

Jin Qingyan darted a glance at her and said a single word, “Yes.”

The corner of An Xiaoning’s lip curled into a smile. In that one moment, she felt that her life was not too bad — at least, when heaven closed a door on her, another one was opened right after.

When they reached home, the living room was brightly lit. An Xiaoning was surprised. “Is someone here?”

“Go in and take a look.” Jin Qingyan actually had some idea of who was inside. Someone who could enter his living room must be from the old villa.

As expected, the housekeeper saw that they were back and nodded slightly. “Young master, young mistress, madam asked me to prepare some shoes, bags, clothing, and other stuff for young mistress. She asked me to bring them here — I have hung everything in the dressing room. There is also a whole set of top-quality cosmetics and accessories. I hope young mistress likes it.”

“Thank you, housekeeper, I’ll definitely like them.”

“Then I’ll take my leave first.”

“Take care, housekeeper.” An Xiaoning excitedly went upstairs. The dressing table was placed in the bedroom with many cosmetics arranged there as well as a wide array of accessories.

Opening the door of the dressing room, she found that there was indeed a wide collection of items inside. An Xiaoning excitedly looked at each item. They were all top-quality branded goods.

One look at them and it was obvious they must have cost a bomb.

Finally, An Xiaoning’s hands landed on a set of uniform.

At the thought that it was their wedding night, An Xiaoning took the uniform and placed it in the bathroom.

Closing the door of the bathroom, she then rinsed and bathed.

Before she wore it, she didn’t think there would be anything to show, but once she put it on and An Xiaoning saw her reflection, she saw that the clothing revealed her small waist and slender legs. She turned one round, and what burst out of her mouth was the word ‘perfect.’

She walked a few rounds around the bathroom by herself and, at that moment, felt that she was in quite a good shape.

After blowing dry her hair, she started cat walking — all while twisting her slender waist — out of the bathroom.

Jin Qingyan was leaning on the bed rest and tasting wine. Upon seeing her, he almost choked to death.

“Is this a uniform showcase?” His voice was flat and his gaze grew deeper.

An Xiaoning started to feel hot all over. But keeping in mind that he was her husband, she felt that there was nothing to feel shy about and started walking towards him, looking at him with her soft and gentle gaze.

“How do I look in this? Give some comments.”

“Not bad — just that… isn’t the skirt a little short?”

She lowered her head and took another look. “It’s not short at all. The school uniform for girls is of this length.”

Jin Qingyan’s abdomen tightened and he placed the glass on the bedside table. “I don’t know about other people, but seeing you wear this, I think you are asking for trouble.”

“Really?”

“Aren’t you?”

…

…

…

Finally, he teased her, “Didn’t expect that your body is still intact.”

The corner of An Xiaoning’s lip twitched. “Yesterday night, didn’t we already… what exactly is going on?”

“Who told you we already did what we shouldn’t have done?” He smiled cheekily. “Just because of the bloodstain on the bedsheet? That happened in the middle of the night when you woke up from your drunken state: you smashed a flower vase which pricked my arm.”

An Xiaoning was jolted by his words and had a feeling of being deceived. And yet, she could not blame him. Thinking of what he just said, she held her waist and lay down. “I really didn’t feel a thing just now, but now I feel weirdly sleepy. I’ll sleep first.”

Jin Qingyan’s eyes sank. He suddenly pounced her onto the bed and looked down at her. “I’ll use myself to prove whether you really didn’t feel a thing!”

Before An Xiaoning could react, her body was already clamped down and she could not move at all.

An Xiaoning opened her eyes slightly and looked at him. She said faintly, “Husband, I was wrong.”

“It’s getting late…”

—

An Xiaoning felt like her whole body had been pressed down by an excavator. It ached all over. When she opened her eyes, she felt lucky to be alive. Thinking back to the previous night, it had seemed like a horrible nightmare.

When she woke up in the morning, the sun was already bright and shining.

The sunlight outside the window shone into the house and beams of light rays reflected from the floor.

Thinking about everything that happened last night, she took a deep breath.

It was unbearable to think about — his physical strength was so good — she had really underestimated him.

He was almost like a beast. It is true that people really cannot be judged based on their appearance.

She tried her best and managed to sit upright, but An Xiaoning’s brain was still in an unclear state. Then, a voice came from the door. “Come down and eat, the food will get cold soon.”

She pulled up the blankets and grudgingly said, “If not for you, I would have long been awake. Now my head hurts, my waist hurts, my legs hurt — everywhere is aching. All because of you. ”

“Who was the one who seduced me last night? Now I’m the one at fault.”

An Xiaoning wore her clothes and took her time to wash up.

On the table lay a warm spread of breakfast. Yet there was no maid at home. An Xiaoning asked, “You made this?”

“Of course — with such a capable husband, you are truly fortunate.” As he said this, one could hardly sense that he was being shamelessly boastful.

While drinking the porridge, she said, “One can hardly tell that the dignified young master of the Jin Corporation actually knows how to cook. What else can you do?”

He crossed his leg and replied leisurely. “There are many more things I can do. For example, various ways to make marital life exciting. I believe after yesterday night’s experience, you are already familiar with this. If you still wish to continue exploring this area with me, we can perhaps come up with many more fun ways which can contribute greatly to improving the quality of marital life. May I know if you are interested?”
