Chapter 23: I Miss You, Though We Just Parted

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Crestfallen and disappointed over her ruined plans, Jin Qingyue carried the luggage back into her room. She then decided to go out but was stopped by her Mother, “Where are you going again?”

“To take a breather.”

“Don’t tell me you’re leaving again, with just your credit card, after leaving your luggage behind. Qingyue, won’t you just allow your Father and I to have some peace of mind? I read on the news yesterday about a girl from overseas who got killed while travelling. Look how chaotic it is overseas. Besides, whatever can be found outside, we have it here at home too,” nagged Mrs. Jin worriedly.

“The thing is, I don’t have friends to hang out with at home. There’s nothing much for me to do either. How boring,” retorted Jin Qingyue.

“Your Sister-in-law doesn’t have much to do at home either. Why don’t you go accompany her? You two should get along just fine, since you’re of similar age.”

Pursing her lips, Jin Qingyue answered, “I’m not going! There’s nothing to talk about with her. Forget it, I’ll go back and play my video games.”

She had been playing video games for more than half a year, though she did enjoy herself more while she was overseas because she got to be with her friends. In fact, she had not achieved much, other than just enjoy life.

Just as she was chatting idly for a while with her in-game friends, a man claiming to be from the city asked to meet up with her in person. The man had invited her to go to the dance club with him and a few of his friends.

Thinking that it was not too bad of an idea, Jin Qingyue agreed to his suggestion.

After an entire morning of video games and a great nap, it was almost evening and time for Jin Qingyue to leave. Lying to her Mother that she was just going to meet her classmates, she eagerly agreed to stick to her strict curfew of 10 PM and hurried out.

“You’re LittleFairy?” asked a man dressed in a suit, who approached her as soon as she arrived at the dance club.

“And you must be Mr.Baiyun?” said Jin Qingyue as she looked him up and down. She thought he was rather good-looking and well-built.

“Yes, my real name is Shi Shaochuan. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Your name sounds pretty familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before,” said Jin Qingyue between laughs.

Shi Shaochuan let out an intentional cough, thinking that Jin Qingyue must have known something from the news. After all, it was a rather well-known fact that he was her Sister-in-law An Xiaoning’s ex-husband.

“There are too many people who share the exact same name. What’s yours?” asked Shi Shaochuan, chuckling.

Jin Qingyue was reluctant to reveal her full name, although there were no photos or information about her online. She was not going to take that risk, especially since he was someone she had just met online.

“You may call me ‘Yueyue.’”

“Sure. Shall we enter, Yueyue?”

“Alright,” agreed Jin Qingyue. She had initially planned to flee immediately and deny that she was the person behind the username ‘LittleFairy’ if the ‘Mr.Baiyun’ she was going to meet had turned out to be hideous-looking. However, he happened to be rather dashing and had a pleasant smile. Thus, she thought it would be totally alright to be friends with him.

If Jin Qingyue had been aware that he was her Sister-in-law’s ex-husband, however, she would have definitely ignored him.

Without a doubt.

They were having a whale of a time as they danced for a while at the crowded dance club and had a few drinks.

Shi Shaochuan was amazed by Jin Qingyue’s impressive dance skills.

He actually had the same mindset as her — to not admit that he was the man online if she had turned out to be plump and unappealing. However, Jin Qingyue had turned out to be beyond his expectations. She was not only gorgeous but also had a beautiful figure.

Since he still had to drive, he did not have much to drink. However, he kept offering liquor to Jin Qingyue whenever she was tired of dancing. Though she had a good alcohol tolerance, she could not help it and chugged a good amount of liquor.

“I promised my Mother I would be home by 10,” said Jin Qingyue while she was still rather conscious.

“I’ll send you home since I’m driving.”

Jin Qingyue did not drive to the dance club for she knew she would be drinking that night and that she should not drink and drive.

“Alright, please send me to Beimen 1 .” Beimen was just a stone’s throw away from her home.

“Come, get in,” said Shi Shaochuan as he helped her into the back seat.

Having arrived at Beimen, he parked the car and walked to the back.

Jin Qingyue had already fallen asleep.

Shi Shaochuan then tried to unbutton her blouse with his hands.

She opened her eyes and asked, still in a daze, “What are you doing?”

“I like you so much, Yueyue,” said Shi Shaochuan as he kissed her forehead.

Jin Qingyue did not resist. Instead, very confused, she asked, “But it’s our… first… meeting… how much do you like me?”

“I like you as much as you can imagine.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

It was half past 10 PM. “Look at this daughter of ours, refusing to pick up all my calls. She had agreed to stick to her curfew of 10 PM, but it’s already almost 11:40 PM and she’s still not home yet,” panicked Mrs. Jin who was sitting in the living room. She began to feel more and more anxious with each passing minute.

“I guess she will be home very soon,” said Mr. Jin reassuringly.

Just as he expected, Jin Qingyue returned shortly after. “Mother,” greeted Jin Qingyue who was all flushed and red like a tomato.

“You’ve been drinking.”

“Yeah, I’m going back to my room to sleep,” said Jin Qingyue, stumbling back into her room.

Mrs. Jin hurriedly chased after her and asked, “How about I brew you something to clear away the effects of the alcohol?”

“No, it’s fine,” rejected Jin Qingyue, waving her hand.

She fell straight onto her bed the moment she entered her room and broke into a sudden smile as she opened her eyes.

She then reached into the pocket of her coat to retrieve her undergarments, which she then proceeded to fling onto her bed.

The sound of a text message notification could be heard just as she came out of the shower.

Feeling a headache coming on, she began to read the words on the screen of her phone while squinting.

It was a text from Shi Shaochuan, which read: I miss you, though we just parted. See you next time, pretty girl.

Without replying, she cast her phone aside and had a great stretch before quickly falling into a deep sleep.

——

“Boss, someone is calling you again!” cranked An Xiaoning’s ringtone, which woke her from her sleep unexpectedly.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Sister, it’s me, Mei Yangyang.”

An Xiaoning opened her drowsy eyes and answered as she sat up slowly, “Oh, it’s you.”

“I heeded your advice and set up my stall in a more crowded place yesterday. Although there were still people who weren’t convinced by my skills, I had managed to earn 200-odd yuan yesterday. So I decided to give you a call to express my gratitude, Sister.”

“That’s great. Are you going to do fortune-telling for a living, though?”

“No, I’ve never thought of that. I’m actually thinking of looking for a job. After all, fortune-telling can be pretty taxing on one’s health, thus it won’t be a sustainable job in the long run. How about you, Sister?”

“I’ve never considered making a living out of it, either. I’m currently looking for a job.”

“I heard the media broadcasting company is looking out for actors to stand in as passers-by, and I’ve decided to go have a look in a few days. Would you like to come together, Sister? They’re offering 100-odd yuan for a day’s filming.”

“I haven’t decided.”

“I’ve thought about it all. In the future, I will read fortunes for a few days a month, on top of working a proper job. I should be able to not have to worry about making ends meet, and even save some money for myself,” squealed Mei Yangyang, exceptionally thrilled and excited.

Just as An Xiaoning was about to reply, she felt an arm hugging her waist tightly. After shooting her husband a glare, she continued to speak over the phone, “100 yuan a day is a tad too little.”

“It’ll add up to about three or four thousand a month, that’s not little for us. Give it some thought, Sister. You can call me if you’re interested. Let’s go together.”

“Sure,” agreed An Xiaoning, though she had no intention of going at all. To her, a few hundred a day was indeed not much, especially since her current savings were enough to last her an entire lifetime. She probably would not want to look for a job if it wasn’t for boredom. Besides, who would not love the idea of just resting comfortably and doing nothing at home?

However, an overly comfortable life was not for her. She did not want to spend her days doing nothing except go for high tea, frequent mahjong sessions, and visit beauty salons, as typical wives of rich men did.

Chapter 22: How Daring of His Dainty Wife

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“So, you’re a fortune-teller as well?” Mei Yangyang called out to stop An Xiaoning.

Adjusting her mask to cover her face, An Xiaoning admitted, “Yes, I am.”

“Sister, will you leave me with a means to contact you?” asked Mei Yangyang.

Thinking that Mei Yangyang was rather capable for her age, she agreed, “I don’t ever leave strangers with my contact details. But you’re an exception, because I feel a strange affinity between us.”

An Xiaoning then proceeded to give Mei Yangyang her mobile number. “It’s a great fortune to have met you. I won’t take your money,” chirped Mei Yangyang as she tucked the 10 yuan into An Xiaoning’s pocket, grinning from ear to ear.

An Xiaoning found Mei Yangyang to be rather genuine and sincere, though she did not insist on paying the latter again. “Don’t set up your stall here anymore. There are more cars than passers-by here, it’ll be hard for you to have any business. If you’d like to earn more, I can teach you how to,” the former continued.

“How?”

“Go set up your stall at a more crowded place, then place a sign at the side, saying ‘Fortune-telling: You’ll get your money back if it’s not accurate!’ I’m sure that would work.”

Having made sense of what An Xiaoning had said, Mei Yangyang began to thank her profusely, “Alright, I shall try that tomorrow. Thank you, Sister.”

After waving goodbye with smile, An Xiaoning then turned around to leave.

——

To her surprise, the moment she entered the villa An Xiaoning was greeted by the sight of Jin Qingyan’s Bentley parked in the backyard.

She kept her eyes fixed on the car, feeling a strong urge to bore a hole through it, as if it were Jin Qingyan.

He was, however, sitting in the living room and resting against the couched, his eyes closed and his legs atop the teapoy.

Hearing the noise made by An Xiaoning while changing into her home slippers, he slowly opened his eyes and scorned, “You went out so early in the morning only to return at such a late hour. Could it be that you went to meet your lover?”

“Yeah, I did,” An Xiaoning was quick to confess. “Let me count how many there are. Hmm, one… two… three… four… five… that’s too few. I shall go look for two more tomorrow,” she sneered.

Jin Qingyan’s face stiffened instantly. He had never known that his dainty wife was so bold and daring, though he was well aware that she was only acting that way on purpose.

“Hubby, what’s wrong?” mocked An Xiaoning when she saw how upset he was.

Fuming with rage, he replied with much sarcasm between gritted teeth, “Great, that’s a marvellous idea!”

“If you didn’t ask such a question, I wouldn’t have answered that way either,” she retorted, implying that he had asked for it.

Her inner devil seemed to be humming merrily while she was making her way upstairs, having proudly gained the upper hand in their argument.

After a night shower, An Xiaoning sat in front of the dressing table and applied a sheet of facial mask on her face. “I have no idea why, but I find myself looking exponentially better after each shower. Hubby, would you tell me why? Is it because one’s vision is only clearer after a shower?” she asked, looking at Jin Qingyan’s reflection in the mirror.

“Because your brain is damaged and thus your vision is affected too.”

“…”

“Will it hurt for you to compliment me? Come, let me put on a facial mask for you,” bickered An Xiaoning as she stood up and climbed into bed with a fresh pack of facial mask.

“My skin is in such great shape that I don’t need such things.”

“Are you trying to brag about your good skin?” scoffed An Xiaoning, pursing her lips.

She sat on his lap after finishing her sentence. “Even if your skin is that good, you still have to put it on. Now, that’s what they call ‘the husband sings and the wife follows,’” insisted An Xiaoning as she tore the pack open and laid the unfolded sheet of facial mask on his face.

Jin Qingyan did not resist. Instead, he allowed her to continue adjusting the position of the mask on his face. Under the dim, yellow light, An Xiaoning looked more beautiful than ever, with her eyes sparkly and clear as glass.

They laid on the bed, side by side. Not wanting to be a killjoy, An Xiaoning decided to keep mum about the questions she had in her head and pretended not to know anything about the matter.

“Today, I instructed Shixin to install surveillance cameras in the backyard and at the doorstep.”

“The living room too?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sick in the head? This is our home, not your enemy’s battleground,” asked a dissatisfied An Xiaoning as she turned to stare at him.

“I’ve only installed it in the living room. Besides, I’m the only one who has access to the surveillance camera footage. Even if you run around the house naked, I, your husband, would be the only one who sees you doing that. Unless, of course, you choose to do that outside of the living room…”

Who does he think he is? An Xiaoning thought to herself while remaining silent.

“After looking at the footage of the surveillance cameras at the front and back of the villa, I finally found out the identity of the man who showed up here on our wedding night,” said Jin Qingyan. “Do you still refuse to speak up?” he asked, trying to sound her out.

Seeing that he had brought up the matter again, An Xiaoning began to find him extremely petty and narrow-minded. The pot calling the kettle black!

“Just look how shameless you are. I haven’t mentioned a word about your actions, yet here you are, continuously chiding and pressing me for an answer,” retorted An Xiaoning. “Didn’t you say that you had already found out his identity? Why don’t you reveal who he is?” she continued to taunt.

“You’re still acting in front of me? It must be hard on you. I never expected you to know Ye Xiaotian, too.”

“Who?” asked An Xiaoning as she thought to herself, Ye Xiaotian? It was clearly Gu Beicheng, the other night.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know who Ye Xiaotian is.”

“I know who he is, but he doesn’t know who I am.” Everyone in S Nation knows that Ye Xiaotian was a freeloading heir of a wealthy family, with an infamous nickname “Good-for-nothing Freeloader.”

Seeing that Jin Qingyan had remained silent, An Xiaoning reiterated, “I really don’t know him.”

“I don’t want to hear it,” clipped Jin Qingyan, a sudden coldness in his tone. He sat up and tossed the facial mask on his face into the dustbin.

That day, An Xiaoning saw how truly fickle and temperamental he was.

Within the next few moments, An Xiaoning finally understood what it meant by “It’s hard to figure out a man’s mind.”

Thinking that he was stronger, he did as he pleased.

Without a tinge of sympathy for the helpless woman she was.

Why would such a scumbag exist in this world? Coddling and pampering you when he decides to be gentle… becoming as cold as ice when he decides not to.

That damned jerk.

Having cursed him a thousand times in her head, An Xiaoning could not help but feel the temptation to kick him off the bed with all her might, just so she can let off some steam.

——

It was a gloomy and cold morning, with no signs of sunshine at all.

Jin Qingyue had sneakily brought her luggage downstairs. However, to her dismay, Mrs. Jin caught her the very moment she came down, asking, “You’re trying to sneak away with your luggage again, aren’t you?”

“Mother… I don’t wanna stay home. Brother has already gotten married, so why don’t you let me leave? I’ll be back quickly, in a few months,” pleaded Jin Qingyue as she walked towards her mother.

“No,” refused Mrs. Jin as she set the mug down onto the table heavily. “I’ve already agreed with your Father not to allow you to fool around overseas. You are to stay at home and do whatever you want within these four walls. Drop the idea of going out or going overseas all the time,” she continued sternly.

“I have the right to my freedom. What right do you have to restrict me from leaving the house? Mother, I should have fun while I can, before I get too old. When I’m older, do you think I will be happy when I recall the memories of you locking me up at home, depriving me of my freedom during my younger years?” argued Jin Qingyue.

“We shall worry about that when you’re older. You’re already grown up, yet you’re still making your parents worried all the time. After you get married in the future, you’re free to go wherever you want, I wouldn’t restrict you even if you wanted me to,” said Mrs. Jin, her decision final.

Chapter 69: This Is Called Fate


“Boyfriend? You’re a girl?” Dragon Slaying Warrior was obviously surprised. “Alright, it’s not important whether you’re a boy or a girl. What kind of product is your spokesperson endorsing? Are you looking for a celebrity? A boy or a girl? Regardless of whether you need a male or female celebrity, I have quite a few people under me. Just tell me which type you want.”


“I want a female celebrity, but… are you really that awesome?” Jiang Tong didn’t seem to trust him.


Dragon Slaying Warrior was anxious. “You still don’t believe me? It’s not that I’m bragging to you, but Hong Tongfei is under me. I can get her to come over with just a phone call!”


Jiang Tong’s hand that was about to type paused. She had been waiting for Dragon Slaying Warrior to say this! Dragon Slaying Warrior could indeed call Hong Tongfei back from abroad with just a phone call. After all, he had been Hong Tongfei’s sugar daddy for almost ten years. Everything that Hong Tongfei had today was given to her by him. No matter how successful Hong Tongfei was, she was still a sugar baby to Dragon Slaying Warrior, ready to be called upon at any time. Since Dragon Slaying Warrior could make Hong Tongfei high and mighty, he could naturally make her sink into the mud and never get up again.


Of course… This was the logic. However, it was definitely not possible to make the Dragon Slaying Warrior call Hong Tongfei back from abroad just because of a game. It was not that he couldn’t do it, but whether it was worth it or not to do so.


Jiang Tong pretended to be surprised as she asked, “You know Hong Tongfei?”


Dragon Slaying Warrior: “Closer than that!” However, he didn’t elaborate any further. He wasn’t stupid enough to tell others that Hong Tongfei was his mistress and that he was the one who raised her.


Jiang Tong: “Really? But I really have to go.”


“What do you mean? I’ve already said so much and you still want to leave. Are you looking down on me?” Dragon Slaying Warrior was a little angry now.


“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but how can this be such a coincidence? I happen to be in need of a spokesperson for something. You have a female celebrity under you. Are you running a management company?” Jiang Tong explained.


Dragon Slaying Warrior: “I’m not running a management company, but I have connections. Look, there aren’t many people playing this game anymore. It’s fate that we met. Fate, understand?”


Actually, this was not a coincidence for Jiang Tong. She told Zhou Jingyun to look for Hong Tongfei, so she used her intelligence to connect with the Dragon Slaying Warrior. But from Dragon Saying Warrior’s perspective, he would not think that this was a coincidence. However, if Jiang Tong talked to him too much, he would think that it was too much of a coincidence. He might even suspect something, so Jiang Tong was the one who brought up how it seemed too coincidental! Then, the phrase that ‘the two of them were fated to meet’ would be Dragon Slaying Warrior telling it to Jiang Tong!


“How about this? Let’s not fight for now. Come out and meet me. I’ll look for you at a place of your choice, or you can look for me. I’ll arrange for the boss of the game’s private server to stop the game first. After I settle your spokesperson matter, I’ll let them recover. Then, we’ll continue to fight the war in the game. We’ve spent tens of millions of money on it. We must determine the winner! Just you wait. I must make things clear for you today!” Dragon Slaying Warrior had a short temper. He was especially impulsive and willful. Perhaps this was the legendary willfulness of being rich!


Jiang Tong understood Dragon Slaying Warrior’s personality. That was why she had set up such a trap. If Dragon Slaying Warrior did not take the initiative, she would use her words to provoke him into asking her for an offline meeting.


“Okay, I’m really in a hurry here. If you have a way, that would be the best,” Jiang Tong agreed reluctantly.


Dragon Slaying Warrior sent her a cell phone number and typed, “This is my number. If it’s convenient for you, come to the teahouse in the Western District to find me. I’ll wait for you there.”


Jiang Tong looked around the internet cafe. Dozens of people were waiting for her orders. Since she didn’t ask them to leave, they naturally didn’t dare to move. Many of them didn’t know Jiang Tong and only knew that her surname was Jiang. However, their big brother, Guan Sandao, was respectful to Jiang Tong, so they naturally didn’t dare to disrespect her.


“Everyone, please leave. It’s fine now. You all performed well today. I’ll tell Guan Sandao about it,” Jiang Tong stood up and said loudly. Letting people leave meant that they wouldn’t continue playing this game. Jiang Tong believed that after Dragon Slaying Warrior had met and chatted with her, he probably would not think about competing with her in the game anymore.


Hearing Jiang Tong’s words, the people in the internet cafe stood up one after another. “Thank you, Miss Jiang. We will leave now. Goodbye, Miss Jiang.”


Jiang Tong watched as they exited the game, turned off their computers, and walked out. Some of them were slow and were kicked out of the game before they could exit the game. It was obvious that Dragon Slaying Warrior had greeted the game owner and told the game creators to stop the game on this private server and save all their data.

Chapter 68: There’s Nothing That Can’t Be Settled


And this “Dragon Slaying Warrior” was the big boss behind Hong Tongfei, her sugar daddy!


Jiang Tong sent a private message to Dragon Slaying Warrior: “Friend, I have something urgent to do. I won’t be playing anymore today. I have to go offline.”


Dragon Slaying Warrior: “F*ck, don’t go. What’s so urgent? Can’t we finish the game? Were you hired by the game to trick me into spending tens of millions of dollars? And now you say you won’t play anymore?”


Jiang Tong typed back: “If I were one, I would continue to scam you for money. I really have something to do and I need to go offline.”


Dragon Slaying Warrior: “Oh, that’s true…”


He only thought that Jiang Tong was conning him of his money because he was too anxious. If he thought about it carefully, she couldn’t be one because the hired player would not behave so radically. A real hired player would always keep him hanging, play games with him for several days and make him spend a lot of money, making him feel great while doing so. However, Jiang Tong did not do this. Jiang Tong made him very unhappy!


If he thought about it carefully, he would know that he had probably met a rich person who had the same hobby as him. Even an ordinary rich person would not be able to do what he did. He would spend millions and tens of millions just playing on the private server. This was something that an ordinary rich man could not afford.


Dragon Slaying Warrior sent a message to Jiang Tong again: “Don’t go. After you finish fighting with me, as long as you finish fighting with me today, I will reimburse you for the amount you topped up into this game. Just treat it as making a friend today.”


He was really suffering! Ever since Jiang Tong appeared with a group of people, he had never felt good! Of course, Dragon Slaying Warrior did not always top up so much money every time he played the game. It also depended on the level of the opponent. Normally, he would only spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few days. It was very rare for him to spend millions of dollars. And he had only started playing this game a few days ago. He did not spend more than 300,000 dollars. However, Jiang Tong had directly topped up a million dollars in her account. From the start, she had been pressurizing him to fight!


When the Dragon Slaying Warrior discovered the situation, he was initially excited because a worthy opponent had arrived. He decisively topped 1 million dollars! Then, Jiang Tong also topped up money into the game, and the Dragon Slaying Warrior did the same! The Dragon Slaying Gang led by Dragon Slaying Warrior had been suppressed until the end, when Jiang Tong started the siege war between the two sides. It was no longer a competition of who had more money. Jiang Tong was definitely no match for the Dragon Slaying Warrior. However, there was a limit to the number of players in a gang. There were only several people in total. In the end, both sides were competing on the number of players online. It was a competition of whether the players would listen to orders or not. Dragon Slaying Warrior knew that he might lose the siege war today, but it was not like he did not have a chance to turn the tables. He wanted to win. This way, he would feel better if he won! However, Jiang Tong suddenly said that she was not playing anymore. She even asked her players to take off their equipment and surrender… Dragon Slaying Warrior won, but he wanted to vomit blood! He felt aggrieved!


“Why are you in such a hurry? No matter how anxious you are to log off, you can still play for a while, right?” Dragon Slaying Warrior sent a message to Jiang Tong. “How can I play if you don’t want to play anymore? Who do I play with, then? We have quite a lot of money. We have put more than 20 million dollars into the game. Do you feel comfortable if we don’t decide the winner? Isn’t this sum of money obtained by the game creators too easily? Hurry up and get into the game. No matter what, we have to determine a winner today. Even if my gang loses to you, I’ll admit my loss! You can’t leave!”


The Dragon Slaying Warrior’s eagerness could be felt through the text. He always sent long messages to her. Jiang Tong looked at it and typed with a smile, “I really have something to do. I have to go to Huanyu Building in Z City. I can’t play anymore.”


“Eh? You’re also in City Z? You’re from City Z?” The Dragon Slaying Warrior replied, sounding very surprised.


“ You’re also from City Z?” Jiang Tong’s tone of reply was even more surprised than the Dragon Slaying Warrior.


The Dragon Slaying Warrior said, “Yeah, this is too much of a coincidence!”


Jiang Tong said, “It’s quite a coincidence, but I really have something urgent. Let’s not talk about it now. We’ll talk next time.”


“No, no, no.” Dragon Slaying Warrior quickly stopped her. “What kind of trouble are you in? Tell me, I’ll settle it for you. It’s not that I’m bragging, but there’s nothing in City Z that I can’t settle!”


“Right, right, right. You’re the best.” Jiang Tong’s reply was very perfunctory. It was obvious that she did not believe Dragon Slaying Warrior’s words. Dragon Slaying Warrior was indeed anxious. “Do you not believe me? Let me tell you, play the game with me today. I can settle any matter for you!”


“You’re so powerful?” Jiang Tong continued to reply, “Actually, it’s not that I have something to do. Something cropped up in my boyfriend’s company. The product spokesperson was hit by a car, and the contract was automatically terminated. I need to find a new spokesperson, but I can’t find a suitable one in such a short period. I’m in a hurry, so I need to quickly go over to help him brainstorm on this matter.”

Chapter 66: So Scared

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


Yanked by the man unexpectedly, Su Qianci let out a cry and lost her balance. She tried to hold the car ceiling, but her hand was held down. Su Qianci almost fell on top of Li Sicheng. Her face fell into his chest, while her hand touched something warm. Subconsciously, she grabbed at that thing, which felt soft but then became harder. Shocked, Su Qianci suddenly realized what it was, released it, and quickly looked up.

She immediately met his dark eyes which were incredibly cold with hidden flames. It was either anger or desire. The mysterious look of his made Su Qianci sense an upcoming crisis. This man is terrifying. Su Qianci’s heart raced. She wanted to get up, but her waist was held down by a strong arm. Su Qianci’s heart trembled.

Mistrust filled his eyes. He looked exactly like when he listened to her trying to explain that she did not start a fire in her previous lifetime. However, in addition to the indifference, there were also anger and desire.

Li Sicheng seized her chin.

“Please…” Feeling a sudden pain, Su Qianci exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Seeing that Su Qianci falling into the car, Lu Yihan was startled and quickly ran over. As he approached, he heard her exclaiming, which scared him. However, before Lu Yihan could touch her sleeve, the door of the Maybach was suddenly shut and the car was pulled away.

“Asshole! Would this guy hit a woman? And you call yourself a man! So disgusting!” Lu Yihan cursed, getting in his car and following the Maybach.

It was summer time, but Su Qianci felt a chill. Holding her chin, Li Sicheng could feel the slight quiver from her body. His eyes became even darker.

“You’re scared of me?”

Hearing his question, Su Qianci’s clenched her fists. Scared, of course. She had seen Li Sicheng like this multiple times in her previous lifetime. He was mad.Seeing that Su Qianci was silent, Li Sicheng squeezed her chin harder. Su Qianci frowned and clearly felt the heat of his hand.

“Since you’re scared of me, why did you cheat on me?”

“I did not!” Su Qianci shook her head, but the pain on her chin was even sharper. “He is just my classmate.”

Li Sicheng looked down and saw her breasts against his chest. Her deep cleavage moved slightly as she breathed. Just one glance made him go mad.

“A low-cut dress for your classmate?”

Su Qianci felt embarrassed, struggled to get up, but was pushed further down by him. Face to face, chest to chest, she could clearly feel the presence of his member down there.

Chapter 65: Danger

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


Tang Mengqing was rendered speechless and realized that she had misspoken. She suddenly became incredibly pale. As a teenager, no matter how fierce her mother and sister were, she was still immature. Against Su Qianci, Tang Mengqing had lost completely.

Hearing Li Weiya’s words, Tang Mengqing quickly explained, “How is that possible? Do not listen to her, Li Weiya. I am not…”

However, as young as Li Weiya was, she was not dumb. Tang Mengqing had acknowledged already. Her explanation was not trustworthy at all. Looking at her best friend’s incredulous look, Tang Mengqing felt too ashamed to stay there. She gave a fierce stare at Su Qianci and ran away with tears in her eyes.

Looking at Su Qianci apologetically, Li Weiya quickly went after Tang Mengqing.

“Hey, you haven’t paid,” The owner of the barbecue stand quickly shouted.

“We will pay together. Here,” Lu Yihan said and quickly picked up the check.

“I’ll give you a ride. It is late now.”

“It’s okay, I can take a taxi.”

“It’s all right. We are in the same direction.”

Su Qianci checked the time and found it was about 9 o’clock. It was not too late. However, it was not easy to find a taxi at this location. Su Qianci thought about it and nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

Lu Yihan smiled and opened the door for Su Qianci like a gentleman. However, before Su Qianci went inside, she heard horns honking. Su Qianci looked over and saw Li Sicheng’s black Maybach. Quiet but fierce. Yang lowered the window and said, “Madam, sir asked me to drive you back.”

Su Qianci frowned slightly and said, “He sent you here?”

Hearing the confirmation, Su Qianci felt even more weird. Since when did Li Sicheng start to care for her? If it were in her previous lifetime, Li Sicheng would have wished her death sooner. He had never cared about where she was, let alone sending someone for her. In this lifetime, too many things had changed. Su Qianci did not refuse, but looked at Lu Yihan apologetically. “Just go back. I will let Yang take me.”

“Okay.” Lu Yihan was a bit worried, thinking of the rumor about Li Sicheng being a tyrant. “You are sure everything’s okay?”

He was afraid that this meeting would bring Su Qianci unnecessary trouble. After all, the girl of the Tang family was trying to slander them. Combined with the call, it was worrying.

“It’s fine.” Su Qianci gave him a reassuring smile. “It is just a convenient marriage between us. He never cared about me.”

Hearing that, Lu Yihan felt relieved. “Great. Take care.”

Su Qianci nodded and opened the door in the back. However, the minute the door was opened, she was taken aback. In the dim light, there was a tall figure sitting in the back, looking arrogant. His eyes were narrowed as he leaned back on the leather seat.

Danger!

Su Qianci stepped back vigilantly, but he suddenly pulled her close…

Chapter 21: We Can Never Be Too Sure About That

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Just as she exited the residential estate, Gu Beicheng pulled up next to An Xiaoning. The door was flung open and, with brute force, he pulled her into the passenger seat of his car.

“I’ll give you a ride. It’s on the way.”

“I said it was fine.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with your Brother,” insisted Gu Beicheng. Despite calling himself her “Brother,” both Gu Beicheng and An Xiaoning were well aware that deep down, neither of them had ever seen the other as their own sibling.

Not long after, they arrived at An Xiaoning’s doorstep. “Do you really want to know why I asked you about that, all of a sudden?” said Gu Beicheng as she was about to alight.

“I hope you’ll tell the truth,” said An Xiaoning, turning to look at him.

As he tucked her hair behind her ear, An Xiaoning remained still, completely unaffected by his actions.

“I am rather curious about who that child she had had aborted belonged to. But what I am more curious about is whether or not your fortune-telling skills are as reliable as Grandpa had made them out to be,” he continued. A smile had crept around the corner of his mouth.

Recalling what he had said previously, An Xiaoning answered, “So that’s why you asked such an ambiguous question, like whether she would be expecting a child within six months. I thought you were asking about the next six months, yet you were actually asking an open-ended question. ‘Within six months’ could refer to the six months prior to today. It could also refer to the next half of this year, or even a total duration of six months before and after today. Isn’t that so?”

He nodded in admission and continued to confess, “I didn’t expect you to be so accurate. My classmate who’s a gynaecologist told me that Rui’er had gone through the abortion three months ago. According to your predictions, she would be pregnant again in six months’ time. I’m so curious, just who is the father of the child?”

An Xiaoning asked in reply, “Do you actually think that it was my husband who had fathered the child?”

“Who knows? We can’t be too sure about that,” implied Gu Beicheng as he gazed down at the ring on his finger and turned it around.

“It can’t be Jin Qingyan,” protested An Xiaoning.

“But you’ve only known him for a few days?”

“If Chi Rui’er had carried his child previously, I wouldn’t be his wife today.”

“Is that so?” mocked Gu Beicheng with a sly laughter, his head tilted.

An Xiaoning alighted from the car and opened the main door of the house. At that very moment, Maomao came out of its kennel and ran towards her while wagging its tail. As she squatted down to pick Maomao up in her arms, she heard uniformly-paced footsteps coming from the door.

An Xiaoning received the shock of her life when she turned around to see who it was.

A posse of men had entered. Donning the same uniform, they looked to be in their 20s and 30s, and a handsome and dashing man was leading the way. The man seemed to be about 27 years old or so. He walked towards her and introduced himself, “Young Madam, I am Fan Shixin. We were sent by Boss Jin to oversee all matters regarding the villa.”

“Does ‘we’ include them?” asked An Xiaoning, pointing towards the men in the yard.

“Yes, Boss had given me a call 20 minutes ago to say that he needs some men here at the new place.”

The new place?

How many places did he own? An Xiaoning began to wonder.

Quickly dismissing her thoughts, An Xiaoning said, “Alright, we’ll have to trouble you with the house from now on.”

“Oh, you’re being too kind, Young Madam.”

——

Apart from the posse of uniformed men, many other helpers, including agriculture workers, housekeeping maids, and a female cook in charge of their meals, had also moved in to the house.

It seemed that the part-time housekeeping helper would no longer have to come and clean the house, and An Xiaoning would rarely have the chance to taste her husband’s cooking again.

After more than an hour, Jin Qingyan still had not come home. An Xiaoning knew instantly that he was definitely at the hospital again.

After some thorough thinking, she decided to go look for him at the hospital.

She paced up and down Chi Rui’er’s hospital ward, hiding her face beneath a mask. When a nurse entered the ward, An Xiaoning quickly took a peek inside, only to realize that there was no one in at all.

“Where’s the patient inside?” asked An Xiaoning, having waited until the nurse had exited.

“She was discharged today.”

“Didn’t she suffer a major leg injury?”

“It wasn’t too major. She had gone home to rest and recuperate,” answered the nurse.

“Alright, thank you.”

An Xiaoning stood at the entrance of the hospital and searched online about Chi Rui’er. To her surprise, there was no information about her at all.

She had initially thought it was a connectivity issue with the Internet. However, she soon realized that all photos and information regarding Chi Rui’er had been blocked by every site on the Internet. It was in fact a tough feat to achieve that.

Since she could not find him, An Xiaoning decided to head back home.

However, An Xiaoning happened to stumble across a young girl seated along the alley when she was passing by. The girl had a table in front of her, and next to it was a sign that read: “Fortune-telling.”

The girl seemed to be exceptionally spiritual, although she was dressed rather simply.

She looked gloomy and forlorn, perhaps because no one had believed her fortune-telling skills. “How much does each fortune-telling session cost?” asked An Xiaoning as she approached the girl.

“It costs 10 yuan, pretty lady. Why don’t you give it a try? My readings are very accurate,” answered Mei Yangyang. Her eyes had lit up at the sight of a beautiful lady.

Breaking into laughter, An Xiaoning sat down on the stool next to her and said, “No one is going to believe you this way.”

“Why not? I am really very accurate with my readings,” asked an intrigued Mei Yangyang.

“Firstly, you’re too young to be setting up a fortune-telling stall. Passers-by are just going to smile at you out of perfunctory courtesy, without really thinking that you actually possess real fortune-reading skills. Then again, because you’re constantly claiming to be ‘very accurate,’ people who might be half-believing your skills aren’t going to be convinced or patronize you anymore, even if you are really capable of accurate readings,” explained An Xiaoning.

“Yes, you are right,” answered Mei Yangyang immediately upon hearing An Xiaoning’s words.

“How many customers do you get on a daily basis?”

“None at all. Once in a blue moon, I would get a few here and there. Otherwise, it would just be some gangsters coming by to harass and take liberties with me,” said Mei Yangyang, sounding rather dejected.

“How about this, tell my fortune and I’ll see how accurate you are!” exclaimed An Xiaoning as she placed 10 yuan on the table.

An Xiaoning could not give her own birth characters since she did not know her real exact ones or who her biological parents were. Thus, she gave Chi Rui’er’s birth characters instead.

Mei Yangyang wrote the birth characters on a piece of paper and flipped through a book. “Look, you’re destined to have two sons, according to your birth characters. Unfortunately, one of them had already passed on,” she continued, stopping at a specific page on the book.

With a raised eyebrow, An Xiaoning asked, “Then, can you tell when the child is expected to arrive?”

“Congrats, pretty lady. You’re going to be expecting soon.”

Mei Yangyang was indeed rather accurate, in terms of reading birth characters. However, she was definitely not psychic, for she could not even tell that the set of birth characters did not belong to An Xiaoning.

“This set of birth characters aren’t mine, but rather a set I had read previously. I just wanted to know if you were really as accurate as you claimed to be. Not bad, you do know a thing or two.”

An Xiaoning turned around to leave as soon as she finished her sentence.

“Wait up!” exclaimed Mei Yangyang.

Chapter 20: You Can’t Be Compared to Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“It’s indeed different,” he said as his smile began to fade.

“What’s so different? We’re both women,” An Xiaoning continued to ask.

“You can’t be compared to her, understand?”

His words seemed like a million daggers stabbing her heart.

“Well, more like she can’t be compared to me, for I am uniquely myself,” said An Xiaoning proudly. Though still smiling, she was startled and confused by his response.

Feeling a little uneasy, she closed her eyes after finishing her sentence. “I’m tired,” she said, pulling the sheets up to her neck.

The bright rays of the fresh morning sun shone in, waking An Xiaoning from her sleep. She got up for breakfast in the living room and called the estate agency, expressing her interest in the house along Dongpo Road.

The opening hours of the estate agency had supposedly been 8 AM. However, seeing that it was An Xiaoning who had called, the estate agent quickly answered the call and helped her process the transfer of ownership of the house.

Not wasting any time at all, she hurriedly headed to the furniture store once the transfer procedure was done and picked out all the furniture she liked. While waiting for the furniture to arrive, she decided to give the house a thorough cleaning, making it spick and span.

The walls looked rather new and the entire house was exquisitely furnished. There was no need for a second renovation at all.

An hour passed. An Xiaoning looked up and down at her new two-storey home with much fondness. She was more than satisfied. She was not in a hurry to fix the minor details like bedsheets and whatsoever because she could simply buy and bring them along the next time she comes.

She felt a need to familiarize herself with the new place. Just as she was about to retrieve the pot of plant from the bottom of the staircase, she heard a door open from below.

The shock had robbed An Xiaoning of her senses. Looking down, she noticed a well-lit stairway.

It seemed to be a basement. Perhaps the estate agency were unaware of it either, since they did not inform her about it.

Trudging down the stairs, she realized that it was indeed a small basement, which was rather empty. Since there was nothing much to look at, An Xiaoning made her way back upstairs.

Shifting the pot of plant back in place, An Xiaoning closed the door to the basement.

She then reset the passcode of the PIN-locked doors of the living room and main gate.

“Boss, someone is calling you again!” cranked her ringtone.

Scooping up her phone, she noticed that it was a call from an unknown number and answered it immediately, “Hello? Who’s speaking?”

“It’s me,” answered Gu Beicheng.

“What’s up?” An Xiaoning asked.

“I have something to ask you. Come over, now,” he said frankly.

“Why should I, just because you asked?”

“Because we are family. Come to brother, Xiaoning. I have something to ask you. You will be rewarded for it.”

With a twitch of her lips, An Xiaoning thought to herself, Why does such a normal word sound so strange coming from him?

“Tell me about it over the phone.”

‘Forget it, I’ll go look for you at your house.”

“Where do I look for you?” asked An Xiaoning immediately, not wishing for him to come visit her.

“Jiangnan Residential Estate, Block A, #08-801.”

“Got it,” said An Xiaoning as she hung up and rushed down to the address he had given her.

After a journey of 20 minutes, she finally arrived at his doorstep.

“You were so slow. I was getting anxious just waiting for you. Here, let Brother give you a big, warm hug,” said Gu Beicheng, leaning against the door. He reached out for a hug.

With godlike speed, she quickly dodged and inched forward, causing him to miss. “Just what is it that you can’t tell me about over the phone? You even insisted that I make the trip down here.”

Closing the door behind him, Gu Beicheng picked up the slip of paper on the table and said while handing it to her, “Take a look at these birth characters for me.”

After picking it up, she took a look at it and she said bluntly,”This set of birth characters belongs to Chi Rui’er.”

“Oh, seems like my brother-in-law had already asked for you to read them.”

She rolled her eyes in annoyance. She could not help but imagine how disgusted and furious Jin Qingyan would be if he were to hear the way Gu Beicheng had addressed him as his “brother-in-law.” After all, Jin Qingyan was a year older than him, and the two did not get along well because of their feud over Chi Rui’er. Yet, they had unwillingly become relatives, all because of An Xiaoning.

“Which aspect of her fortune would you like me to read? First things first, I can’t read the fate between her and someone whose birth characters you are unaware of. If you’d like to know about the fate between you and her, then you have to tell me your birth characters,” said An Xiaoning.

“Who said I wanted to know about her fate with someone else? I don’t want to know about the one between her and I, either. I just want you to read about a certain expect. That is, will she bear a child in the next six months?” asked Gu Beicheng, frowning sternly.

Reaching her hand out, An Xiaoning asked, “Didn’t you mention that there would be a reward?”

“You’re so untrusting of Brother. Where is the basic trust between siblings? Here, is this enough?” he asked, sliding her a cheque.

She took a look at the cheque of 500 thousand yuan and nodded, “Yeah, that’s enough.”

“I can be sure that she is bound to bear a child, in the next half of the year.”

“Can you tell in which month it would be?”

“Yes, but I can’t reveal that to you. It is in her fate to have a child,” said An Xiaoning. Reminded of the fact that it was the last child Chi Rui’er would bear, she could not help but warn him, “She is destined to bear two children, one of which she had already aborted. If she aborts this last one, she is bound to be childless for the rest of her life. Gu Beicheng, if you made her pregnant, be sure to take good care of her.”

“Will she get pregnant, even if I don’t have intercourse with her?” Gu Beicheng continued to ask eagerly.

After taking another look at Chi Rui’er’s birth characters, An Xiaoning had an answer in her head. “Not sure why you’d ask, but I’d like to tell you that some things are just meant to be. You can’t rewrite its fate. I hope you understand what I mean. Don’t all women just want a man who loves and cares about her? Even a career-minded woman would wish to have a shoulder to rely on for comfort and warmth. Please take your woman in hand. Did you know that she often calls my husband to get him to accompany her at the hospital? Aren’t you her official boyfriend?” chided An Xiaoning.

Gu Beicheng seemed rather perplexed as he leaned against the couch with an arm raised. “You said she had already aborted a child. I’m not the father of that child. You mentioned that she would be expecting another child within the next six months. I’m very certain that the child does not belong to me either.”

Startled, An Xiaoning said, “If not yours, then whose would it be…”

With a shrug, he said, laughing rather innocently, “How would I know…”

“Then why did you ask about it?” asked An Xiaoning as she stared at him.

However, Gu Beicheng refused to answer her question and said instead, “I have my own reasons. I’m going out to run an errand, need a ride?”

Seeing that he refused to answer, she did not pry any further. “No, it’s fine,” she answered.

A whirlpool of questions flooded An Xiaoning’s mind as she made her way downstairs. Could the child Chi Rui’er had aborted have belonged to Jin Qingyan? Would the second child belong to him too?

Besides, Gu Beicheng was certain that the child does not belong to him, despite being her official boyfriend. Not to mention, Jin Qingyan had been visiting her at the hospital rather frequently…

An Xiaoning was overwhelmed by a state of confusion. She could not help but wonder if her imaginations were real.

Chi Rui’er must be smarter than she looked to abandon two rich and handsome men for a third one , she thought.

What used to be a clear and outright relationship had turned into a mysterious situation filled with doubt and suspicion ― all because of Gu Beicheng’s words.

Chapter 67: Spending a Lot of Money


Jiang Tong’s back view became more and more mysterious in Guan Sandao’s eyes.


“You guys go online first and stay in the newbie zone,” she commanded the others that were playing the game. Jiang Tong didn’t know what Guan Sandao was guessing at this moment.


“Miss Jiang, there are still some brothers who haven’t arrived yet, but they will arrive soon. There are still 30 to 40 people who should be coming soon.” Guan Sandao suddenly took a step forward and bent down to whisper into Jiang Tong’s ear.


Jiang Tong nodded and looked at Guan Sandao again. “You don’t have to stay here the whole time. You can go and do your own thing.”


“Okay,” Guan Sandao answered. He stood up and glanced at the internet cafe. Then, he shouted, “Everyone, listen well to Miss Jiang. Whoever performs well today, I will reward you with 100,000 dollars in cash!”


“Don’t worry, Big Brother!”


“Thank you, Big Brother!” The group of people promised enthusiastically.


After Guan Sandao left, Jiang Tong once again focused on the game. She immediately topped up her game account with 1 million dollars. Then, she set up a gang and many other things, pulling in all the people in the internet cafe. After everything was done, Jiang Tong called Zhou Jingyun again. She asked, “What are you doing?”


“Meeting.” Zhou Jingyun was stingy with his words, as though they were as precious as gold.


“Give me ten million dollars.” Jiang Tong did not beat about the bush. She directly requested, “I need to pay for the activities.”


“…Okay.” Zhou Jingyun paused for a moment and then agreed. He did not even ask Jiang Tong what she wanted to do with so much money. The relationship between the two of them was very delicate. They did not seem to be that close, but they were very close at the same time. Moreover, Zhou Jingyun had an inexplicable trust in Jiang Tong. At least, he was never stingy when it came to spending money. He was not afraid that Jiang Tong would cheat him of his money. After all, Jiang Tong had helped Zhou Mingfei so much yesterday. It would not be excessive for him to directly give Jiang Tong 100 million dollars.


Four hours later, Jiang Tong had already topped up more than eight million dollars in the game. The gang that she had formed had also become the number one gang in the game. It had crushed the previous number one gang — the Dragon Slaying Gang! The head of the Dragon Slaying Gang was also a tough nut to crack. He did not let go of Jiang Tong’s gang and fought with all his might. Both sides topped up more than a million dollars into the game in order to fight. The two big gangs were in a heated fight.


At this moment, Jiang Tong suddenly shouted, “Everyone, get ready. Log off the game!”


The people in the internet cafe were all stunned. Although they didn’t know what was the reason behind her order, they still did as they were told. This time, it was the people from the Dragon Slaying Gang who were stunned. They were in the middle of a decisive battle, so why did they stop fighting? This feeling of losing an opponent made them feel frustrated and lost.


Jiang Tong’s private message box suddenly flashed. Someone had sent her a message. “F*ck, friend, what are you doing? Don’t go, we haven’t decided on the winner yet! I’ve already topped up more than ten million dollars in the game, and you’ve already spent eight to nine million, right? It’s not easy to have a worthy opponent in the game, why did you stop playing?”


Jiang Tong looked at this person’s game ID and revealed a faint smile. This person’s game name was “Dragon Slaying Warrior”, and he was the leader of the Dragon Slaying Gang. In reality, he was a very sloppy and greasy middle-aged man, he was also a super rich second generation. Of course, he also had another identity, and that was the big boss behind the popular actress Hong Tongfei!


For female celebrities, other than the very few who relied on their experience and talent to stand out and become important shareholders of the management company, or those who had a big background before they entered the industry, other celebrities were nothing in front of the real big shots. However, it was not easy to disturb celebrities that were currently popular. They were the money tree of the company! The entertainment industry was very complex. Those large-scale management companies and entertainment companies had very strong connections. Some entertainment companies were even created by the children of some big families. They would try their best to protect their own popular celebrities, and they would protect these ‘money trees’ of theirs and keep them out of trouble. Therefore, most of the stars might not look that powerful, but they usually had very strong connections behind them. And other than this situation, there was another situation where the big boss kept female celebrities as his mistress in exchange for the female celebrity gaining resources! This was the case for Hong Tongfei.


Because Hong Tongfei was good-looking, she had been a mistress for rich people when she was in high school. After she went to film school, she started to enter the entertainment industry. The big boss who kept her started to spend money to support her. Although Hong Tongfei had starred in a few movies, she had never been completely popular. She had been on the B-list and C-list rankings until last year when she relied on one movie to soar to the sky. Of course, this was also due to the big shots behind her. This included the fact that she had obtained more than 20 awards for Best Actress in one go. Some of them were obtained by relying on her strength, while others were the result of capital operations.

Chapter 66: Details


Zhou Jingyun rolled his eyes. He felt there was something wrong with Jiang Tong’s head! They were pretending to be a couple. So what was with this issue of ‘trust’?


“Tell me, are you going to bet or not?” Jiang Tong urged. Zhou Jingyun rolled his eyes. “Fine, I’ll bet with you, okay?” He was really annoyed. If agreeing to Jiang Tong could shut her up, he felt that he could place a bet with her. He said, “I agree to bet with you. Now you can go. Go and do your work. Don’t disturb me while I’m working.”


“Then it’s a deal.” Jiang Tong smiled and got up. She went to the underground parking lot. After she got into the car, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly picked up. “Miss Jiang, is there a problem with the car?” Guan Sandao didn’t expect Jiang Tong to contact him so soon.


“Sandao, make the arrangements. I want to use your people,” Jiang Tong said directly.


“Sure, no problem.” Guan Sandao was very surprised. He did not expect Jiang Tong to call him ‘Sandao’ directly. He did not even ask Jiang Tong what she wanted him to do by addressing him in such a friendly manner. He immediately agreed, “No problem, Miss Jiang. How many people do you want? I will immediately gather my brothers.”


Jiang Tong told Guan Sandao about her request. After Guan Sandao heard it, he was completely dumbfounded. What Jiang Tong told him to do was not something difficult. On the contrary, what Jiang Tong asked him to do wasn’t difficult at all. It was just what she asked him to do was too weird! However, Guan Sandao didn’t ask any further. He didn’t need to know the thoughts of big shots. He just needed to follow her request.


Half an hour later, Guan Sandao and some of his trusted men were guarding the entrance of an internet cafe near Qingchuan Bar. They kept looking at their watches, waiting for Jiang Tong to come over. Not long after, a red Lamborghini appeared on the street. Then, it slowly stopped by the roadside. Jiang Tong pushed the door open and got out of the car. “Have you called everyone over?” she asked.


“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang. The people we brought are all brothers who play games very well…” Guan Sandao quickly followed behind Jiang Tong.


Jiang Tong walked towards the internet cafe. The internet cafe was very big and the equipment looked very good. However, it was empty at the moment. Other than a few dozen people gathered near the counter of the internet cafe, there were no other customers. This was because Guan Sandao had booked the entire internet cafe before Jiang Tong came over!


“Miss Jiang.” Seeing Jiang Tong walk in, more than 40 people in the internet cafe bowed and greeted Jiang Tong in unison.


“Everyone relax.” Jiang Tong raised her hand and gestured. Then she said, “Everyone, find a computer to turn on and play the game…” she gave the name of the game and urged everyone to spread out and turn on the computers.


The group of people sat in a row and turned on the computers skillfully. They searched for the game and downloaded it. Most of these people were young people around 20 years old. They were real delinquents. They had stopped studying long ago and went to mingle with the underground society. They stayed in the internet cafe all year round. They did not have any serious skills, but they were very good at playing games! There were a few middle-aged men among them. They did not look more than forty years old. Their awareness and control of playing games were definitely not as good as the young ones. However, they were very familiar with the game that Jiang Tong had mentioned. They had played it before.


Jiang Tong walked to the innermost row. She sat alone in a row and turned on her computer to download the game. Because the game she wanted to play was on a private server, it was not available on the computer in the internet cafe. She had to download it herself.


Guan Sandao stood behind Jiang Tong and watched as she skillfully downloaded and logged into the game. His expression became more and more strange as he watched her. It was really too weird! When Jiang Tong called him to gather some of his men, he thought it was a big deal. He also thought that his chance to show off had come. But he never expected Jiang Tong to ask him to get people to play games with her! She was playing an old game that was released twenty years ago, and it wasn’t even on a public server, but a private server! Was this… a game that Jiang Tong should be playing at her age? Guan Sandao was a little suspicious of Jiang Tong’s age. As far as he knew, those who still played this game and loved playing on the private server were middle-aged men in their thirties or forties, and there were some rich bosses among them.


Guan Sandao looked at Jiang Tong’s back, and the more he thought about it, the stranger he felt. Jiang Tong was really in her early twenties? Wait… no, Guan Sandao was shocked. Would Jiang Tong use this matter to test him? The more Guan Sandao thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. Otherwise, there was no way to explain such a strange situation. Jiang Tong must be testing his patience to see if he could handle such a small matter well! If he could not handle such a small matter well, Jiang Tong would not need to use him anymore in the future! When a big shot did something, he had to look at the details and meaning behind it!

Chapter 42: Almighty Qin Touched Fu Jiu’s Head…

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


“Yes, sir.”

That was the most difficult “yes” the lobby manager ever had to say.

Even though he was astonished inside, he was still good at reading people. When he raised his head up again, he was all smiles. “Young Master Fu, what else do you fancy, I will get them to serve it.”

“Young Master Fu?” Fu Jiu stopped, and her voice paused. “I don’t really like that name, it’s easy to mix me up with others. Isn’t there another Young Master Fu who comes here a lot?”

The lobby manager wanted to say that there was no way to mix them up.

The other one was an extremely well-mannered, straight-A student; anyone could tell the difference.

But since the CEO was here, he couldn’t say that, so he could only reluctantly explain, “That, that…”

“Call me Lord Jiu.” Fu Jiu pulled out her lollipop, and she still had her skateboard tucked under her arm. She laughed out loud with incomparable arrogance.

The lobby manager’s mouth spasmed from suppressed laughter.

“What?” Fu Jiu raised her eyebrows. “Manager Li, are you unwilling to?”

The lobby manager glanced at his CEO.

Qin Mo’s eyes were cold. “Fu Jiu.”

“Hm?” Fu Jiu raised her head up and her left eye winked at Almighty Qin, who was close to her. She pretended to be innocent, but she still couldn’t hide her arrogance.

“Don’t take it too far.” Qin Mo turned aside, pressing on her head with one hand. His voice was low, sounding domineering and magnetic at the same time, and his hard-to-ignore breath slowly hit Fu Jiu’s left ear. “This is still my territory.”

Exactly, exactly!

The lobby manager raised his head up and wanted to let out a cold harrumph.

But his CEO turned towards him again with cold eyes. “Manager Li, it’s just a name, call him by whatever he wants. Don’t make me teach you how to serve a guest.”

This… this was not what he had expected. Shouldn’t the CEO ask that nouveau riche to scram?

Why was the CEO supporting him?!

The lobby manager froze up again. “But, but…”

“But what.” Qin Mo lifted his gaze, put his left hand on his belt, and said with an air of elegant haughtiness, “Do it.”

The lobby manager quivered and lowered his head. “Lord Jiu.”

“Good boy, now go get the lobsters.” Fu Jiu nodded at him.

Inside, the lobby manager was cursing hatefully. A dog barks harder while its master is around!

Fu Jiu looked at the bitter sight of his back and curled her mouth up coldly.

Qin Mo lost his patience again and dragged her in.

According to Almighty Qin’s style, he never liked physical contact, therefore he grabbed Fu Jiu’s school uniform.

Fu Jiu was dragged to the rooftop like a cargo box by Almighty Qin.

COCO and Fatty both thought that Spade Z could live till now because of his gaming skills.

Otherwise the CEO wouldn’t have dragged him to the rooftop, but would have directly thrown him out of the hotel instead!

But even so, the CEO was very tolerant towards this kid.

And he even touched his head?!

This had never happened before!

Fu Jiu didn’t mind being dragged by Almighty Qin like that. After all, she was having a good time.

But…

“You ordered so many lobsters, I can’t finish them all.” Fu Jiu looked at the table full of Australian lobsters and felt a little bit frustrated.

Qin Mo tilted his head and lit a cigarette. With a straight face, he said, “Take them back if you can’t finish them.”

I can take them home?

I didn’t expect that Almighty Qin would be this thoughtful.

Fu Jiu just erased that image of a viciously ruthless tycoon from her mind, when she heard Qin Mo say, “Go get two fresh ones for Young Master Jiu to take home. Let him finish these here.”

Fu Jiu: “…”

Thoughtful my butt, it was all just a pie in the sky!

Chapter 41: If You Are Under Me, I’ll Consider It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


The air in the Hummer froze.

Fu Jiu could sense the changes around her, especially the icy aura radiating from her left…

“He already knows.” Fu Jiu was forced to finish the call, and she looked at Qin Mo mischievously. “If I say that this is a misunderstanding, would you buy it?”

Qin Mo looked at her, and his eyes were slightly frigid. “What do you think?”

“This is really a misunderstanding,” Fu Jiu emphasized the last part in order to be more convincing. “You are too difficult to sleep with.”

Qin Mo smiled. The curve of his thin lips was still cold, and he was grinding his snow white teeth with considerable strength. “Sorry about that, I’m not easy to push down. Should I lie down flat and let you do whatever you want with me?”

“If you are willing, why not?” Fu Jiu sounded like she really gave it thought.

As soon as she finished, Fatty’s foot spasmed, and their speed went up a few levels.

COCO wanted to shrink himself into nothing.

Qin Mo suddenly reached out with his hand and pinched hard on that face he hated so much that it made him grind his teeth. He said in a deep voice, “Fu Jiu!”

“Hm?” Fu Jiu raised her eyebrow and looked up at him with confusion. Her eyes were as pretty as the eyes of his cats at home.

Mostly, it was that fluffy silver hair that gave Qin Mo that illusion.

“If you still want to eat, then be quiet.” Qin Mo let go of her face. The silky sensation of her skin was still lingering on his fingertips, compelling him to look out the window. There was no warmth in his voice.

Qin Mo told himself that he didn’t throw this flirtatious guy out of the window only for the sake of Spade Z…

The dinner venue was a hotel with a high star rating, the most expensive place in Jiang City. It sparkled with lights and was luxuriously decorated.

Hundreds of thousands of wine glasses were hanging on the ceiling. Even the waiter was wearing formal black and white, and the service was extremely thoughtful.

Someone immediately went up to welcome him when they saw Qin Mo’s car drive in!

That wasn’t a mere doorman but the hotel lobby manager.

“CEO Qin, the rooftop garden that you reserved has been cleaned. Today’s Australian lobster is very fresh and the Arctic shellfish is good, too…”

Hearing what the manager said, Qin Mo tersely acknowledged it and said, “You tell him and see what he wants.”

The lobby manager paused and reluctantly turned his gaze to Fu Jiu.

He was still fine when he did not see her at first. As soon as he laid his eyes on her, his heart almost jumped out!

This! Wasn’t this the black sheep of the Fu family, Fu Jiu!?

Every time they came to the hotel, they would always show off and order a lot of things, asking them to casually open vintage wines. However, in truth, they didn’t have that much money in their pockets.

He was totally an unwelcome nouveau riche.

Why was he with the CEO?!

And CEO Qin even asked his opinion on ordering?!

Fu Jiu instantly knew what the manager was thinking.

After all, she was no stranger here, and she came here often to eat.

The lobby manager must have had a deep impression of her, and he even put her on the blacklist with the tricks those siblings had pulled.

“Lobster then.” Fu Jiu smiled, her eyes suffused with a faint glint.

Indeed, she still likes the expensive stuff.

The lobby manager quietly took the order down.

Qin Mo, who was walking ahead, tilted his head. He said in a indifferent tone, “You like lobster?”

Fu Jiu held her lollipop loosely in her mouth and didn’t deny it.

Qin Mo answered tersely and told the person behind him, “Ten lobsters, all for him.”

The lobby manager: “…”

Chapter 40: Qin Mo Took Fu Jiu To Dinner!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Fu Jiu felt that Qin Mo had finally said something decent, so she wanted to compliment him.

But before she could do so, Almighty Qin opened his mouth again. Slowly, he brought up the dark history that she wanted to face the least, “Also, I don’t like men, especially being kept by a man.”

Fu Jiu: “…”

With a tongue this vicious, he doesn’t deserve any compliments at all!

COCO laughed out loud this time. He was also curious, and he held the rabbit as he asked Fu Jiu, “How did you become Spade Z? When Captain added you, you were so arrogant. Don’t you like our captain the most?”

Hearing that, Fu Jiu let out a long sigh. “Well, humans, you know, can be a little naive when they are young and carefree.”

“So you are saying that you don’t like CEO Qin anymore?” Fatty turned around!

Qin Mo’s finger on the magazine paused.

COCO saw that his captain’s eyes cooled down, and he grabbed onto Fatty. What kind of big bombshell are you blindly talking about!

Qin Mo noticed the silence in the car, and nonchalantly glanced at Fu Jiu. His deep voice carried an irresistible coldness as he said, “Drive.”

“Yes!” Fatty didn’t dare say another word and sat straight, stepped on the accelerator, and drove into the avenue on the left.

All the students outside the Hummer were stunned, especially Chen Xiaodong, who had shock written all over his face.

Since when did his young master and Young Master Qin get so close to each other?

Young Master Qin didn’t beat him up and even took him away in his car?!

Did he take him back to give him a lesson?

It wasn’t impossible!

When Chan Xiaodong imagined the scene, he couldn’t help but shudder from the cold.

Now what?

Should he inform Madam about it?

No, he should call Young Master first and figure out what was going on!

As soon as the Hummer made the turn, Fu Jiu’s phone started to ring.

She picked it up casually, seemingly not caring about who was sitting next to her. “Hello.”

“Young Master, it’s me!” Chen Xiaodong said in a hurry, “Where is Young Master Qin taking you? Are you in danger?”

Hearing that, Fu Jiu raised her eyebrow and turned her head. She asked the man beside her, “Where are we going?”

“Taking you to dinner.” Qin Mo closed the magazine and his voice was still aloof. “Don’t gaming buddies who meet for the first time all have dinner first?”

That was true.

But I didn’t expect you to do the same.

To be honest, did Almighty Qin do a lot of reading on how meetups work after they had decided to meet up yesterday?

Fu Jiu paused. She said to the person on the other end of the phone, “He’s taking me to dinner.”

“What dinner?” Chen Xiaodong was even more worried.” Dumplings? Is he going to cut you up and make dumplings with your meat? Young Master, don’t be scared, I’m coming to save you right now!”

Fu Jiu: “…”

“No, I didn’t sleep with him, so why would he cut me up? Stop letting your thoughts run wild all day,” Fu Jiu corrected him in a careless manner. “We are just going to sit down and have a friendly dinner.”

Chen Xiaodong widened his eyes. “Young Master, you still haven’t given up on the idea of sleeping with Young Master Qin? If he knows this, he will kill you!”

His voice was quite loud.

Especially in a fully sealed car, the volume was amplified many times over.

Fatty, who was sitting in front, obviously heard it. With a slip of his hand, they almost hit the car on the left.

COCO didn’t react and remained frozen just like Fatty. He wanted to turn around but did not dare to.

Their ears were likely working… Did the person on the phone just mention that Spade Z… wanted to sleep with their CEO?!

Chapter 19: Little Money-grubber, All You Think About Is Money

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


His palm was cold and his fingers looked good — they were fair and slender.

“Where are we going?”

“Home.”

“Aren’t you going to the office?”

“Let’s go on our honeymoon this afternoon, pack a bit of clothes later.”

“About the two million, please talk to your grandmother about it, ” She didn’t forget to remind him.

“I already told her about it, she didn’t say anything.”

The moment they got onto the the car, his phone rang.

Jin QingYan took a look at the caller ID, attached the wireless earphone in his ear and started the engine.

“Hello.”

“…”

“Now?”

“…”

“Okay.”

When the call ended, An Xiaoning, who was seated beside the driver’s seat, could already guess who had called because she sat so close to him. Her hearing was also good, and she recognized a woman’s voice from the call.

“I’m making a trip to the hospital, I’ll send you home first.”

An XiaoNing stayed calm and did not probe further. “Okay.”

He dropped her off on their doorstep and left immediately. An Xiaoning went in and fed Maomao, arranged all the cash gifts from the wedding, as well as the bank cards. Then, she pulled her luggage out and started packing her things — she wanted to help him pack too, but she didn’t know what he liked to wear, so she gave up that idea and waited for him to come back.

Before she realized, an hour or two passed as she waited.

An XiaoNing had no choice but to call him. “I thought we were going for our honeymoon in the afternoon? Why aren’t you back?”

“We’ll go tomorrow morning.”

An XiaoNing questioned, “When did you decide on this?”

“Now.”

She slammed the phone down and shouted at it, “Go to hell! If I didn’t call you, would you have even informed me? You made me wait here in vain, where’s the trust that a couple should have? Why are you someone who makes people feel warm sometimes but at other times make them feel hurt?”

Seeing that it was still early, An Xiaoning didn’t want to stay at home. Truthfully, she wanted to buy a house, which could become a place where she could seek comfort other than this home, somewhere she could go to if she quarrels with him next time.

An Xiaoning had her own way of thinking and could execute it well — she impulsively went to look for a house.

After looking through a few neighborhoods that weren’t ideal, she went to the real estate agency and took a fancy to a house.

It was a private property, which was valuable if she bought it because she would also own the piece of land forever.

Although its location was not very central, An Xiaoning decided to take a look at the house, so she made the real estate boss bring her there.

It was indeed a distance away from the city, and the house was a small two-storey bungalow which was different from other houses — it had two rooms on the bottom floor, two on the top, and the surrounding wall was very tall. Getting off the car, the real estate boss entered the passcode and said, “This house has been vacant for some time and no one has bought it. First, the price is quite high. Second, it’s a distance away from the city. But there’s a wet market and supermarket nearby, so it’s still quite convenient. Honestly, if you’re interested in it, I can still negotiate the price with the seller.”

From checking the living room to every other aspect of the house, An Xiaoning was satisfied with the interior design of it. “I see there’s not a lot of people residing nearby.”

The real estate boss replied, “The people living here enjoy the peace and quiet. There’s a river not far from here — in the day, many fishing lovers come here. I still have other houses in my hand, do you want to see them too?”

“How’s the security here?”

“Not bad, really. The security is far better than other areas with alot of troublemakers, I haven’t heard of anything happening in this neighbouhood.”

“Let’s go and see other houses, shall we?” she suggested. “Then I’ll make a decision.”

“Sure.”

However, the houses that followed either had poor designs or were too noisy, with some surrounded by factories nearby. In all comparison, An Xiaoning still preferred that bungalow. The house wasn’t big, and it was peaceful and quiet.

The only problem was that it was expensive.

“Young lady, two million and three hundred thousand, that’s the least it can get.”

“Sir, can you let me talk to the seller in your presence?”

“No, young lady, his original price was two million and four hundred thousand — that was his bottom line. I saw that you were really keen on it so I helped you reduce it to two million and three hundred thousand. If you still want to lower it further, then I’m sorry, we don’t have a deal.”

“Tell you what, I’ll go back and discuss with my husband about it. I’ll come over again tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Of course, An XiaoNing did not intend on discussing it with Jin QingYan. She only wanted to find out from him if that house was worth that much.

—

After she had eaten noodles on the streets, it was already seven o’clock when she returned home.

He was reading in the living room, and seeing her return at this timing, he asked, “Where have you been, why are you back so late?”

“Went on a date.” She looked down as she changed her shoes, intentionally saying this four words.

“A date?” Jin QingYan scowled. “You’re angering me on purpose?”

“On purpose? No, I did that intentionally.” She quoted his words from this afternoon.

Jin QingYan couldn’t help but laugh. “Tomorrow morning let’s go on our honeymoon. Where do you want to go?”

“Tomorrow morning, I can’t make it, Let’s go the day after, I’m busy with something tomorrow.” Since he went back on his word, she felt that there was no harm delaying it too.

“What are you busy with?”

She went right upstairs. “An important event of my life.”

“You’re not eating?”

“I’ve eaten already.”

Jin QingYan closed his book and followed her upstairs. As he laid down, An XiaoNing turned over to ask him, “Hubby, which areas near our city have good security?”

“Dongpo Road, Nanan Road, Mingyuan Road are all decent. Why are you asking about this?”

“Just casually asking. Which of these three areas has the most expensive property?”

Hearing her question, Jin QingYan didn’t suspect that she was buying a house — after all, they already had a house now. He didn’t think too much about it.

“They are all about the same and quite expensive. A house would cost about two or three million? But a house in a less central area would be more difficult to sell, so most people who buy a house there reside in it. They rarely use it to invest.”

“I see. Then the house we live in must be quite expensive right?” She smiled. “How much did it cost?”

“You really want to know?” The smile on Jin QingYan’s face grew deeper. “Call me your good hubby and I’ll tell you.”

“What’s so difficult about this, my good hubby my good hubby my good hubby…”

“Forty-five million.”

An Xiaoning already knew that this house wouldn’t have come cheap. After all, it was in a good location. But who would’ve thought that it was so expensive? “Forty-five million. What a shame that the house certificate doesn’t have my name. If it did, I would be a rich woman already.”

He stretched out his hand to touch her forehead. “Little money-grubber, all you think about is money.”

“My husband isn’t dependable, of course I need to depend on money right? We’d agreed to go on our honeymoon this afternoon — I packed all my stuff already — and you spent your time with another woman. She’s more important than me. You tell me, how are we different?”

Chapter 18: No Playing Cute!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


He turned pale as sheet; he raged with anger.

“Who was that man?!” he barked, glaring daggers at her.

“Didn’t you manage to catch a glimpse of his face?”

“Would I have to ask you if I did? We just got married today and your lover is already looking for you?” hollered Jin Qingyan with much hostility.

“Don’t spout nonsense, he’s not my lover.”

“Then who is he? Why did he kiss you? Spill it!” he eagerly urged her for a reply.

With a grunt, An Xiaoning turned around and walked towards the courtyard. There was no way she was going to tell him it was Gu Beicheng. That would make him hit the roof.

Jin Qingyan made his way up the stairs after driving in.

An Xiaoning had gotten ready to shower. However, the enraged Jin Qingyan refused to let her go before he had gotten an answer from her.

“Tell me.”

“There’s nothing to tell you about,” said An Xiaoning fearlessly. “You don’t have the right to ask me about it because you just spent the night with another woman,” she continued.

“I’m asking for the last time. Who is that man? How are you related to him?” said Jin Qingyan coldly.

“There’s nothing between us.”

“You think I’d believe you?” he questioned, pinning her onto the bed.

Not wanting to argue with him any further, An Xiaoning sat up on her own and cooed in a cutesy manner while looking up at him, “I already told you the truth. But what am I supposed to do if you don’t believe me?”

“No playing cute! Then why did he kiss you? I saw it all from afar,” he asked sternly.

“No, you didn’t. He was just leaning in to speak to me.” Seeing that he still refused to believe her, she got on her knees and gazed up at him. With pouty lips, she said, “If you still don’t believe me, you can try smelling if there’s another man’s scent on me.”

“Who is he then?”

“I’m going to shower,” she said, putting one leg out onto the floor. Before she knew it, he grabbed her other leg tightly and dragged her back onto the bed.

“Did I say you could go?” he asked, gritting his teeth in anger.

“Jin Qingyan, you’d better know your limits and not go overboard. You’re the one who doesn’t know your place, running off to take care of Chi Rui’er in the middle of the night. Yet you’re still playing the victim? How atrocious!” retorted An Xiaoning, her smile beginning to fade.

“I’m going overboard? Do you think you can lie to me easily? How dare you make me a cuckold right at our doorstep? Just you wait and see how I”ll punish you!” roared Jin Qingyan.

“You’ve completely wronged me!” cried An Xiaoning as he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom, as if she were an object.

“Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth a hundred times.”

Oh gosh!

Was he out of his twisted mind?

“I’m not going to.”

“You’re not? Then I shall do it for you,” he said, squeezing some toothpaste onto her toothbrush.

He seemed so angry, he might just brush her teeth until her gums bled. Worried, she said, “No, I’ll do it myself.”

She brushed her teeth over and over again, until he was satisfied.

“I think my gums are swollen.”

“Swollen just from brushing a few times? You’re too fragile,” he jabbed as he began to unbutton his shirt.

“Was that just a few? That was more than just a few! My gums are getting ruptured,” snapped An Xiaoning.

“You wouldn’t tell me his name, regardless of how many times I’ve asked. Seems like he means a lot to you.”

“He means nothing to me,” said An Xiaoning as she lay down.

“There’s a security camera at the doorstep. I’ll just check the footage tomorrow morning.”

“It’s your call,” said An Xiaoning nonchalantly.

She was sure that he was just trying to scare her. Out of the multiple times she had passed by the front door, she had not noticed any security camera, or anything of the sort.

Having calmed down, Jin Qingyan turned towards An Xiaoning, who had her eyes closed, and said, “If I ever find out that you cheated on me, you shall face dire consequences.”

“You won’t have it any better either, if I find out that you cheated on me too!”

Pressing his lips together, Jin Qingyan continued, “It’s just a matter of time before I find out who that man is.”

A momentary silence filled the air.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, An Xiaoning suddenly felt a hand sliding down her side beneath the sheets. Smacking his hand as hard as she could, she hissed, “Get that hand away from me. I’m not in a great mood this evening, will you just let me sleep in peace?”

He had no choice but to do as instructed. An Xiaoning then went back to sleep, her back facing him.

——

According to customs, she should only be allowed to return to her parents’ home three days after the wedding. However, An Xiaoning went to the home of the Gu Family early in the morning the day after because she had to settle the procedure of changing her household registry and being added as to the Gu Family genealogy.

The old Mr. Gu began to take charge once all the members of the Gu Family had gathered at the ancestral hall.

An Xiaoning followed the instructions given and went ahead with the worship and bowing ceremony. By the end of the ritual, An Xiaoning had successfully been added to the Gu Family genealogy.

An Xiaoning did not even have to settle the changing of household registry herself. The procedure was quickly completed, in less than an hour.

Following the customary ceremonies, she then served some tea to her newly-acknowledged Godparents and God-grandfather.

As noon approached, everyone gathered to have a reunion lunch.

The old Mr. Gu was grinning from ear to ear, excitement written all over his face, as he spoke calmly.

They were enjoying their meal when the helpers outside announced the arrival of Jin Qingyan.

“You’re here, my grandson-in-law. Come in quickly, please,” welcomed the old Mr. Gu, who was still smiling, as he enthusiastically instructed for the helpers to bring him in.

Clad in a black suit and black coat, Jin Qingyan took his time to enter while handing the helper the gifts he had brought along. He then sat on a chair brought over by the helper, facing An Xiaoning.

“Have I interrupted anything by visiting at this hour?” he asked.

“Of course not, the timing is perfect. I was just asking Xiaoning why you were absent this morning. She said that you had something urgent to attend to at the office. We’ve just started eating. Do make yourself comfortable, at home,” assured the old Mr. Gu, gesturing with his hands.

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Upon hearing the way he addressed the old Mr. Gu, An Xiaoning shot him a glance before quietly continuing to savour her meal.

All of a sudden, An Xiaoning felt a leg from opposite, tightly hooking onto hers. Having gotten a shock, she almost dropped her chopsticks.

Looking up to see who it was, she noticed that he was chatting merrily with the members of the Gu Family, all prim and proper. She felt a sudden urge to call him a hypocrite.

To the relief of An Xiaoning, the meal finally ended. She had felt as if she were stepping on eggshells the entire time.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Not on purpose, but intentionally,” jested Jin Qingyan.

“What was that for?”

“It was rather fun, especially when you had to suppress your anger and remain silent. How interesting,” sneered Jin Qingyan. Gazing at his alluring, slanted eyes, sharp and straight nose bridge, and rosy lips, it was truly a tough feat for An Xiaoning, staying mad at such a perfect face.

“Why did you come here, all of a sudden?” asked An Xiaoning.

“This will be your maternal home from now on. As your husband, it would be rude not to come down to pay a visit,” said Jin Qingyan as he reached out to hold her hand. Years after, An Xiaoning would still clearly remember that simple gesture of his. She would still remember the way he reached his hand out to her gracefully, full of vigour and excitement, on that perfect afternoon.

Chapter 17: How Nice It Is To Marry Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“I… so I’m actually not the biological child of both of you — no wonder you treat me like this, no wonder I don’t look like any of you.” She stepped into the house and looked at Mrs. An coldly. “The two million you got from my in-laws, give it back.”

Mrs An would never give back money she received. She immediately said, “I have no money to give, except a life of mine.”

“At a young age, I was sent to the mountains by you. Not long after I came back, you forced me to marry into the Shi Family. You’ve also accepted the betrothal gifts from them — treat that money as my compensation for you. I want this money back now, or don’t blame me for being nasty.”

“Unless I’m dead, don’t think about taking away a single cent from us!”

Jin Qingyan’s figure appeared at the door. He strode in, having already heard everything from their conversation.

“Now, how about this—both of you write a contract to cut off all foster ties and go to the nearest office to get an official statement to remove a household member and this two million will be yours, okay?”

An Xiaoning turned around to look at him. Jin Qingyan held her hand tightly, but his voice became colder. “Say something.”

“Sure, okay.” Mr. An quickly left the house while Mrs. An hurried An Xiaonan, “Quick, get a pen and paper.”

An Xiaonan turned around to search for a pen and paper and placed them on the table. He wrote according to what Jin Qingyan instructed him to, and finally, Mrs. An signed on it. Jin Qingyan took a seal from his pocket and passed it to Mrs. An. “Seal your thumbprint on it.”

Mrs. An sealed her thumbprint without hesitation. After half an hour, Mr. An came back. He showed the statement from the office — it had an official seal on it.

“Sign your name and seal your thumbprint too.”

Jin Qingyan quickly scanned the signatures and said after confirming, “After today, An Xiaoning has nothing to do with your family. If you go out and publicize that you’re related to her, we will take legal action. I hope all of you will understand.”

He turned around, held An XiaoNing’s hands, and left.

Mrs An did not feel dejected at all. On the contrary, she was elated. “It’s two million yuan, I would never earn so much in my whole life.”

“Mom, I think both of you have gone overboard.”

Mrs An slapped his head. “What overboard, if back then your father and I did not pick her up at the roadside, will she be here today? I think two million yuan is still too little — we should get at least ten million.”

An XiaoNan rubbed his head. “Luckily I’m a son, if I’d been a daughter, both of you would have long sold me for money.”

“You brat… are you the same as her? You are our flesh and blood, we wouldn’t sell you no matter what. Enough. Now that we have money, let’s get a two-storey house, buy some nice furniture and invest in a small business for you. You still need to get married next time — our good days are finally here.”

—

The chauffeur drove in one car while Jin QingYan and An XiaoNing drove in another.

“Why did you come here?”

“I knew you couldn’t settle it yourself. Isn’t it good that this money can get you freedom from that family? Why don’t you change your residence to my household?”

An XiaoNing shook her head. “No, I want to change it to the Gu family’s residence.”

Jin QingYan’s heart fell. “Why?”

“Because I’m afraid that one day, I’ll get kicked out by you. It’ll get troublesome.” She was not at all afraid of avoiding such inauspicious words. “After all, no one knows about the future. It’s best to be prepared.”

“You’re such a smart woman.”

An XiaoNing held onto his arm and rested her head on his body. “From today onwards, you’re the closest person I have. Please continue to treat me well.”

Jin QingYan’s heart tightened. Hhis closest person wasn’t her, but her closest person was him?

On the way home, she had fallen asleep while resting on him.

He carried her off the car. An XiaoNing had actually woken up when the car arrived, but not expecting that he would carry her, she continued to pretend she was asleep.

Only after he carried her onto the bed, took off her shoes and covered the blanket on her did An XiaoNing open her eyes slightly. As she was about to talk to him, his phone rang.

“Babylifewasgoodtomebutyoujustmadeitbetternull, Ilovethewayitstandbymethroughanykindofweathernull…”

An XiaoNing saw him take a look at the caller ID and walk out, going downstairs to take the call.

She discreetly lifted the blanket and walked down the stairs.

“How is it now?”

“…”

“Let me send a caretaker over.”

“…”

“Yes, leaving my beautiful and precious wife at home is inappropriate.”

“…”

“Hello… hello..” Jin QingYan saw that the call had ended. He looked anxious and, after some consideration, he still went out.

An XiaoNing went back upstairs to wear her shoes, then got on a car to the hospital.

At the carpark, she found his car as expected. Looking through the news, she eventually decided on the VIP room of the hospital.

She wore a cap that covered most of her face, as well as a pair of sunglasses. Then she sneakily loitered around the entrance of the wards.

After she found the correct ward number, she boldly pushed the door open without making any noise at all.

As she had expected, wards with toilets had a hallway, and she entered the toilet successfully while listening to their conversation.

“Qing Yan, you’re still the best to me. Bei Cheng can’t even compare to you. Ever since I’ve been hospitalised, he only came once briefly and left in a hurry.” Chi RuiEr’s voice was full of despair and dejection.

Jin QingYan asked instead, “Then why did you choose him. If I’m better than him, why didn’t you choose me?”

“Today, I saw your wedding on television. I was so upset.” Chi Rui’er’s eyes reddened. She spoke tearfully while choking on tears, “I don’t know why I didn’t choose you in the past. If I had chosen you, I would have been the one married to you now. I know you would fight for me in front of your family, but now everything’s too late.”

An XiaoNing could no longer stand to listen. She sneaked out of the ward from the toilet.

When she reached her doorstep, she saw Gu BeiCheng’s figure — he had his hands clasped behind his back. She went forward. “What are you doing at my house in the middle of the night?”

“Enjoying the breeze and admiring the moonlight.” Gu BeiCheng smiled lightly. “Why were you so adamant on marrying him?”

“Then shoud I have married you instead?”

“Of course. How nice it is to marry me — we would be a happy family.”

“Don’t be silly. I’m going in. You better leave.” She took a step towards the door, but Gu Beicheng held her arm back and pulled her to face him. A flash of light projected towards them and before she knew it, he held her face tight and planted a small peck before leaving speedily. “Goodnight,” he muttered before he left.

Before An XiaoNing could react, his car had already driven out of sight.

It seemed like in the next second, another car came from the other direction. The door opened abruptly — it was her husband, Jin QingYan.

Chapter 65: Turning the Impossible to Possible!


Take Hong Tongfei for example. Hong Tongfei was only 28 years old this year. In the past few years, she had not been very popular and could only be considered as a B-list actress. However, with the movie she starred in last year, not only had she won all the major awards at various film festivals and awards ceremonies, but she also gained international fame with her explosive acting skills. She was a mainland actress who was about to cross the international list of famous movie stars.


Hong Tongfei was a female celebrity who far exceeded Zhou Jingyun’s standards. Other than Hong Tongfei, there were also a few other female celebrities who had become very popular in the past few years. However, when they became so popular, they probably would not even meet Zhou Jingyun once. After their agents hear Zhou Jingyun mention the size of the company and the company’s brand, they would probably immediately hang up. They could forget about meeting to have a talk.


“You’re going to look for a spokesperson? How long will it take?” Zhou Jingyun didn’t raise his head and talked to Jiang Tong very casually. In his heart, he didn’t think that Jiang Tong could handle this matter.


“It depends on who you’re looking for.” Jiang Tong didn’t care about Zhou Jingyun’s attitude.


“How about Hong Tongfei for example?” Zhou Jingyun still didn’t raise his head and was just casually dealing with Jiang Tong. He said Hong Tongfei’s name not because he was deliberately making things difficult or making a joke of Jiang Tong, but because Jiang Tong had just mentioned her name, so he just casually said it as well.


“Oh, her. That’s simple. It can be done in a day.” Jiang Tong thought for a while and said. Zhou Jingyun paused when he read the information. He raised his head to look at Jiang Tong and asked with narrowed eyes, “A day?”


“Yes,” Jiang Tong nodded.


Zhou Jingyun frowned and asked, “You’re acquainted with Hong Tongfei?”


Jiang Tong shook her head. Zhou Jingyun frowned even more as he said, “If you’re not acquainted with her then why do you say that?”


“Not acquainted with her doesn’t mean I can’t get to know her. One day is enough for me to get to know Hong Tongfei,” Jiang Tong smiled matter-of-factly.


Zhou Jingyun looked at Jiang Tong with a pitiful gaze. “As far as I know, Hong Tongfei is currently filming overseas and has been away for three to four months. She’s overseas. No matter how good your intelligence is, you can’t even see her. What’s the use? And what, you just need one day?” Zhou Jingyun rolled his eyes. This was the first time he felt that Jiang Tong was so good at bragging!


“I didn’t say that I was going to look for Hong Tongfei directly. Can’t I look for someone related to her?” Jiang Tong was still smiling.


Zhou Jingyun’s lips twitched. “One day? I’m not talking about the time. Hong Tongfei has a cosmetics endorsement. It’s impossible for her to take on another brand. So this ‘one day’ you’re talking about, you’re really…” Zhou Jingyun didn’t continue, it seemed that he didn’t want to talk to Jiang Tong for a while.


The office was quiet again. Jiang Tong looked at Zhou Jingyun who was flipping through the documents. She knew that Zhou Jingyun was very upset now, and she understood that Zhou Jingyun didn’t believe her. It would be strange if Zhou Jingyun believed what she just said!


It sounded impossible for Jiang Tong to get to know Hong Tongfei in one day and make Hong Tongfei sign a contract with Jingyun Fashion, but Jiang Tong was the person who could make the impossible possible! If she didn’t do something that shocked Zhou Jingyun, Zhou Jingyun wouldn’t believe her.


“20 million. Give me 20 million, and I’ll have Hong Tongfei appear in your office tomorrow morning.” Jiang Tong directly made an offer. Zhou Jingyun didn’t answer. He didn’t want to talk to Jiang Tong now.


“You don’t believe me? Then let’s make a bet?” Jiang Tong spoke again. ‘Betting’ was a very sensitive word for Zhou Jingyun, because he was now a person who had a bet that would determine his fate. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Tong expressionlessly. “Bet when will you shut up and stop bothering me?” He regretted calling Jiang Tong over. Not only could she not help, but she had also been annoying!


“Bet on whether I can make Hong Tongfei appear in your office tomorrow morning and have her sign a contract with you. If I lose, not only will I not take your money, but I will also give you 20 million.” Jiang Tong raised two fingers.


“What if you win?” Zhou Jingyun asked casually. He did not think that Jiang Tong could win, but the bet was only fair if the bet was clear.


“If I win, you have to give me 20 million first. It’s the fee for hiring me to find a spokesperson, not for winning the bet,” Jiang Tong said with a smile. “As for what I get when I win the bet, then that would be you will have to believe me in the future.”


“Believe in you?” Zhou Jingyun frowned.


“Yes, you never believed in me. This makes me very troubled.” Jiang Tong supported her chin with one hand. “No matter what, we are still a couple. You don’t believe anything I say. This makes me very sad.”

Chapter 64: Whose Child Are You Bearing

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


Tang Mengqing was the sister of Tang Mengying.

Since Su Qianci did not hang up, Li Sicheng could clearly hear Tang Mengqing’s words. The temperature in the study immediately dropped. No man could accept such betrayal from his wife, let alone someone like Li Sicheng.

Since they were married, he had maintained distance from Tang Mengying in order to protect his marriage. Although he did it to satisfy his grandfather, it still showed his sincerity. However, he had no idea that this woman would date another guy in public. After hanging up, Li Sicheng called his chauffeur, “Go to Kingstown First High School and drive my wife back.”

Yang had just had a shower and was ready to go to bed with his wife. When they were making out, Yang suddenly got this call, which drowned his passion.

“Yes, sir!”

Looking at the girl in front of her, Su Qianci couldn’t help smiling. Tang Mengqing was puzzled and felt a bit eerie. She looked at Su Qianci and stuttered, “Why… Why are you smiling?”

“Does everyone in the Tang family enjoy sticking their noses in other people’s business? What a unique culture.” Although Tang Mengqing was just seventeen, she was not dumb at all. Su Qianci was clearly saying that their family had terrible education.

Trembling, Tang Mengqing bristled. “Su Qianci, it seems that you are the one who is cheating on your husband.”

“Cheating?” Su Qianci raised an eyebrow. “Do you know what cheating means?”

Su Qianci’s voice was incredibly low, sounding dangerous. It felt… exactly like Li Sicheng. Tang Mengqing was scared and stepped back. It was not because how terrifying Su Qianci looked, but because she was a much stronger woman than the seventeen-year-old girl. Tang Mengqing lost her voice, standing there quietly.

Su Qianci glanced at her stomach and ridiculed, “What you did is called cheating. Don’t you need to do an amniocentesis to find out whose child you are bearing?”

Tang Mengqing was dumbstruck, as if she was struck by thunder. How… How did Su Qianci find out! She did not even tell her best friend Li Weiya one word. The only person she had told was his sister. And Tang Mengying had agreed to take her to do an abortion the next day. Did Tang Mengying tell her this?

Tang Mengqing became pale. Hearing how certain Su Qianci was, Tang Mengqing lost all her confidence and rebutted, “What are you talking about? Whose child could it be other than…”

“So, you really are pregnant?” Li Weiya covered her mouth incredulously.

Lu Yihan had been quiet the whole time. Hearing that, he smiled. “Girls nowadays are really open-minded. Does your family know about this?”

Whether her family knew, Lu Yihan had no idea. However, he could guarantee that the reputation of this girl be ruined tonight. Su Qianci did not lower her voice, so the students eating barbecue had been looking at Tang Mengqing differently already.

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.
