Chapter 1: I Got the Wrong Script!

Translator’s Notes: About this story. It starts a bit slow but quickly picks up. There are character settings that come from other stories but you don’t actually need to read or have any knowledge of the stories they come from. Of course knowing might let you get a laugh out of it, since Xianxia main characters sometimes seem like arrogant amoral self-righteous immortal assholes who deserve a beat down. But that’s just my opinion so don’t mind it.

Central Heaven Region, Heaven Territory, Eight Extremities World.

Outside Broad Creed Mountain, one of the few martial cultivation Holy Grounds of the present era, Yan Zhaoge stood with a black edged blue mantle draped over white clothes. This outfit declared his identity as one of Broad Creed Mountain’s innermost core disciples.

And across from him stood an unconvinced and dissatisfied youth in yellow clothing, “Yan Zhaoge, don’t you freaking just have a good father?”

Yan Zhaoge replied expressionlessly, “What did you just say? Say it again if you dare.”

“I’ll say whatever I want. You think I’m scared of you? Don’t you just freaking have a good father?”

Yan Zhaoge stared at the yellow clad youth and suddenly burst out laughing, “Very good, exactly what you said. I just love it when people say that about me.”

The yellow clad youth became dumbstruck and speechless.

After a long while, he finally managed to regain his senses but he quickly transitioned into rage due to humiliation. Without caring about the consequences, he jumped at Yan Zhaoge.

Full of indifference, Yan Zhaoge stated, “Restrain your blows and don’t kill him.”

The yellow clad youth faltered mid action. Then he felt his entire body go numb and the vision distorted drastically. A long while after, when he returned to his sense, he discovered someone had soundlessly grabbed him by the small of his back and lifted him high into the air.

A very burly man appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge with one hand holding the yellow clad man high in the air like an adult lifting a tiny child.

The large man was all smiles as he said, “Prince, please go ahead.”

Yan Zhaoge simply nodded. Folding his hands behind his back, he leisurely turned and left.

The large man laughed cheekily while still holding the yellow clad youth with only a single arm. Conversely, the youth could only wail.

Yan Zhaoge entered the main gate of his sect. As he walked, the smugness he displayed earlier had already disappeared without a trace. His expression had become completely tranquil.

At a glance, he appeared to possess a calm and steady demeanor.

But the true connotation behind his current state was…

he was absolutely stupefied.

“This script is wrong.” Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself. As a member of the so called crossing worlds army, there must be a problem with his crossing over.

His first cross over landed him in a foreign world with a martial warrior civilization at the peak of prosperity. He ended up in the book storage building of the Divine Palace, which collected classics of all fields from all over the world.

However, soon after, there was a world class calamity that destroyed even the Divine Palace.

What followed was apparently an unexpected second crossing over, where his soul arrived in the same world except countless years later.

At this point, people had discovered remnants that had survived the calamity and re-established a martial warrior civilization. This new civilization was still in its growth phase far from the peak.

With his brain full of rare books and classics from the era of peak prosperity, Yan Zhaoge’s second crossing over to the present era was like a gamer who was used to playing hell mode suddenly finding himself playing the game on easy mode.

That was just way too awesome.

The only problem with the second crossing over lay in the terrible mess left by the original owner of his body.

“Prince, the materials you were searching for have all been found,” the large burly man had once again caught up, “Information about the locations of the ‘Li Flame True Fire’* fire seed has also been found.”

Yan Zhaoge slightly slowed his pace, “This information is indeed hard to come by. Has the precise location been confirmed?”

“It is in the northeast region of the Dragon Sealing Pool. The search area has already been diminished to the utmost. It won’t take long for our people to send back news of a more precise location,” the large man replied with candid laugh.

“Not bad. Not bad,” Yan Zhaoge nodded in satisfaction.

Yan Zhaoge’s father was not only an important elder of the sect with a lot of authority, he was also the current patriarch of the Yan family, which was an illustrious and influential greater clan whose fame resounded across the entire continent. Those who called Yan Zhaoge prince as opposed to martial brother were all subordinates of the Yan family.

If Yan Zhaoge wanted something, he only needed to create a list and there would naturally be subordinates to carry out the task.

In other words, the current Yan Zhaoge is of high class birth, has a ridiculously bullshit dad, and is a genius himself. Everything is perfect and there should only be smooth sailing from here.

But… something doesn’t seem right.

“Prince, there is one more thing-” the burly attendant had wanted to say something else but then suddenly cut himself off.

A middle aged man with a heavily profound aura walked towards them. Each step seemed to shake the world around him.

Once he neared, he and Yan Zhaoge exchanged proper etiquette. The middle aged man said with a slight smile, “It’s only been a few day, martial nephew Yan’s cultivation seems to progress daily.”

Yan Zhaoge smiled and replied, “Skill from diligence. Incompetence from indulgence. I dare not slack off.”

The middle aged man said, “These days, there is movement at the Dragon Sealing Pool. We are preparing to scout out the situation. The elders have decide to send the younger generation first. It so happens that the sect’s youth competition has just concluded. The sect wants to send the eight top ranked disciples along to give them an opportunity to train.

“It’s just that, according to rumor, your old rival is also in the vicinity of the Dragon Sealing Pool. If martial nephew Yan isn’t busy in the near future, you might as well act as squad leader for this expedition.”

He stared at Yan Zhaoge with eyes full of expectation and admiration.

The youth in front of him possessed extraordinary talent, a true chosen son of heaven. He is a well known figure and an acknowledged leader among those of his age group. He is the pride of Broad Creed Mountain’s younger generation.

Only geniuses among geniuses, as in those geniuses that stand most prominent over their same aged peers in the absolute best sects of the Eight Extremities World, can compare to him. They were evildoers, freaks, and people who stand so far above the masses they no longer seemed human.

In the current era, there are four princes who are famous far and wide across the entire Eight Extremities World. One of them is the Broad Creed Prince Yan Zhaoge. Acknowledged by the masses as an elite hero, it is said that so long as he does not die early, he will definitely create a new legend.

“Dragon Sealing Pool is it…” Yan Zhaoge pondered a bit before accepting right on the spot, “There aren’t any important matters on hand, I might as well make this trip. I will naturally look after my junior brothers and sisters a bit.”

Yan Zhaoge understood what the other man meant. There were strong members of the junior generation from other sects also operating near the Dragon Sealing Pool.

If the sect’s disciples are suppressed during an encounter between the younger generation, it would be a blow against the sect’s glory.**

On the other hand, if a martial uncle led the squad, the younger generation obviously wouldn’t be bullied but conversely this would also weaken the prestige and influence of the sect’s younger generation.

In regards to himself, Yan Zhaoge would happily leave the sect more often. After all, to him this entire world was brand new. He wanted to collaborate the memories in his mind with the world outside.

He would need to go on an expedition to the Dragon Sealing Pool sooner or later. Some of his plans required its unique environment. His current objective was also located at the Dragon Sealing Pool. So this time, he would just conveniently play along.

The middle aged man became even jollier after Yan Zhaoge accepted his request, “For this outing, martial nephew Yan can also act as an example for the younger generation. I believe they can learn many things as a result.”

After taking leave of the middle aged man, Yan Zhaoge continued on his way. The burly man followed beside him and resumed their earlier discussion, “Prince, earlier An wanted to tell you lady Lin’s close door training has apparently been extended. She will not be coming out as scheduled.”

In his opinion, his master should react with regret and dissatisfaction after hearing this news.

However, in reality Yan Zhaoge at this time had the urge to roll his eyes.

This is the terrible mess left to him by his body’s original owner.

During a past training trip, the original owner of this body met a girl.

The girl originally had a childhood friend who also happened to be her sweetheart. However, upon meeting the perfect Yan Zhaoge of that time, she became moved. For the sake of a brighter future, she left her original sweetheart.

Even though the original owner of this body did not intentionally seduce the girl, but he would not refuse any beautiful girl who offered herself to him. This caused a lot of resentment in the girl’s commoner ex boyfriend.

The difference between the body’s original owner and the commoner boy was too large. Even though he did not suppress or make things difficult for the boy, he still held the boy’s hostility beneath contempt.

The girl’s martial talent was truly unusual. Originally she was like a pearl gathering dust in a small corner of the world, but once she followed the body’s original owner to Broad Creed Mountain and became a disciple, her cultivation grew by leaps and bounds.

Sometime after she became a disciple, the girl started closed door training and it was at that time that Yan Zhaoge experienced his second crossing over, taking over his current body.

Admittedly, the girl was an undeniable top class beauty.

She was a beautiful and graceful maiden who even a prince would desire. However, to the current Yan Zhaoge, that was all she was. Her visage was pleasing and warmed the heart, but he had no particular feelings toward her.

The Great Cataclysm he experienced during the first crossing over and the sight of the Divine Palace being destroyed was eternally etched in Yan Zhaoge’s mind.

Even the immeasurably mighty Divine Palace could be destroyed, who between this heaven and earth could stay safe and sound forever?

Some people would giving into despair after witnessing that scene. Live in the moment and enjoy while one still could. However, Yan Zhaoge’s choice was different. He chose to work hard and strengthen himself.

Even though his dad was ridiculously bullshit, his own starting point extraordinary, his background amazing, and his subordinates innumerable, Yan Zhaoge still eagerly treasured every scrap of resource available. He spent all of it without waste on strengthening himself.

He makes the most of every second, every minute.

This has already become his natural instinct.

During the time after his second crossing over, Yan Zhaoge progressively got used to his new identity and environment. As the days passed by, he adapted to the people and things around him. However, some things still could not be changed.

To him, the most important thing is to cultivate rigorously, without wasting his superior environment and circumstances.

In this world where the martial path reigns supreme, the might of a single individual could potentially decide the fate of the entire world. Only strength is respected. Only the victor is king.

But Yan Zhaoge discovered, things are not as simple as they seemed.

At that time, the large man beside him just happened to mention, “Prince, other than lady Lin’s matter, An has also investigated Ye Jing.

“Currently sixteen years of age. A citizen of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, East Heaven Region, Heaven Territory. Both his parents died when he was three years old. He was fostered by relatives. Because he grew up relying on his relatives’ charity, he was bullied.

“He appeared to be an ordinary person without any unusual traits. His martial talent was completely average. Except for the fact he grew up together with lady Lin, there was nothing else worth noting.

“However, after you left together with lady Lin, he underwent remarkable changes. His cultivation soared and his behavior became stunning. First he stabilized his own position within hisclan, then he helped his clan grow stronger and suppress its opponents.

“Leaving home, he headed to the capital of the Eastern Tang Kingdom and achieved considerable fame among the younger generation. As a result, he obtained the right to participate in the Broad Creed Mountain disciple selection exam.

“After he has successfully passed the exam and joined Broad Creed Mountain as a disciple, his momentum seems stronger than even lady Lin. His performance is very outstanding.

“Among the new disciples, he is the very best. Recently, he’s even achieved number one in the sect’s youth competition.”

The large man stopped his citation and released a candid laugh, “However, compared to prince, he doesn’t even qualify to compete.”

Yan Zhaoge, however, twitched his lips. His actual thoughts were along the lines of, “It’d be a miracle if that were actually true.”

It could not be helped. No matter how he looked at it, that thing seemed to be a template main character.

Herein lay the problem. What was his role in main character Ye’s abrupt rise to power?

“Let me think. The current number one genius figure of the younger generation in the same sect. Rich young master. Possesses considerable personal strength. Has a father that can abuse his authority for my sake. Has a significant and influential background. And most importantly, it seems ‘I’ stole his girl?

“My body’s original owner seems to have even plucked the flower of the girl named Lin?

“… yeah, the exterior of this flesh bag of mine also quite excellent, very handsome if I had to say so myself. This body is just perfect for a poser who wants to pull off the false prince act. Hitting or stepping on a face like this would probably create a considerable amount of warm and fuzzies.

“And after that, my old man would try to help me out, becoming another stepping stone just like me. This would create the road that a main character needs to abruptly rise to power. One guy delivers his face to be smash and his whole family follows soon after, free shipping included…”

Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes.

This script is definitely wrong!

* The ‘Li’ in ‘Li Flame True Fire’ refers to the 离li as in the symbol ☲ in the eight trigrams, which represents fire.

** glory as in face – literally the sect’s face would look bad

More Translator Notes: First, since I don’t have an editor, if you find any mistakes, please leave a comment. Thank you.

Something to note about wuxia is that a lot of terms are actually non-existent in the English language or the characters themselves carry multiple meanings, making a lot of things difficult to translate without losing part of the meaning. For example, in the title we have the word shixiong; I chose to use senior brother as a compromise between elder brother (which might also work, but it sounded a bit too much like older brother as in the normal older brother of a very traditional family) and martial brother (which lacks the ability to indicate whether the martial brother is older or younger). On the other hand, I could just put elder martial brother, but that’s just a tongue twister and the characters say it all the time. ‘Elder martial brother’ is six syllables, which I could use to make a sentence, as opposed to shixiong, which is only two syllables. There’s a lot of things like that and tons of pseudo proverbs making this novel more difficult to translate than some of the others. It also loses a lot in translation, especially the humor, so if you know Chinese, I recommend you not be lazy and read the original. But I really like this story, so I’ll be translating this instead of something else. Anyways, here’s the crux of the matter. Sometimes I won’t be able to decide whether to translate something or maybe I can’t decide how to translate something and then it’ll be up to you to decide.

Here’s the first decision: Guang Cheng Mountain or Broad Creed Mountain.

This is the name of the main character’s sect. The words can be literally transliterated as Broad Creed but it can also be translated as ‘numerous ways to take advantage’ or ‘wide riding’ or ‘multiple sects’ or a bunch of other possible translation, though the general idea behind it taking context into account should be that the sect is very versatile and adaptive in its martial arts.

Another thing to note is the Chinese idea of ‘face’, which doesn’t actually mean ‘face’ but rather a strange type of pride that follows certain rules, such as not bullying those who are weaker, appearing to have strength equal to your rivals, keeping your word, if you say something you shouldn’t go back on it. Face can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Evil cultivators usually treat face as a tool to manipulate Righteous cultivators. At the same time, ironically evil cultivators will hold especially hold a grudge if you make them lose face. Lose face pretty much mean a) to suffer defeat from those you see as weaker than yourself (this is usually an extension of keep your word and the words usually happen to literally be “I am stronger than you” or “I can crush you with one finger”, etc.) and b) subordinates fail to keep their word. The way to gain face is to be generally successful and have your reputation and fame soar. Of course the more famous you are, the easier it is to lose face. But so long as you’re not a revenge driven hick that’s set off by the smallest slight, you aren’t yet suitable material for a wuxia/xianxia villain.

So should I use ‘face’ or should I do my best to translate the concept into pride?

Chapter 28: No Comment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’m sorry, but you’re in for a disappointment. I’m going to start work now, please refrain from disturbing me during working hours,” said An Xiaoning before hanging up confidently, without a care about what he thought.

Jin Qingyan had been patronized by his wife.

She actually hung up even before he was finished with his sentence.

It was definitely an insult to him, in the 20-odd years of his life.

Better yet, she actually switched off her phone when he tried to call her again.

She did not have that much of a backbone when she pleaded for him to pick her up from the mountains, though.

Jin Qingyan cast his phone aside, only to see Long Tianze making his way in as the doors of his office opened.

“Upset to see me?” asked Long Tianze. He had cocked his head to the side to look at Jin Qingyan while leaning against the desk.

“Do I have to hold a welcoming ceremony to greet your arrival? Like a parachute show, or a bungee jump, or perhaps even a deep dive?”

“Damn, why don’t you just send me straight into space?”

“I’ve thought of that, to be honest. You don’t have anything good up your sleeve, whenever you visit. Quick, shoot. What’s the matter?”

Long Tianze chuckled and answered, “Will you just trust your best friend? There really isn’t a particular reason for my visit, other than the fact that I miss you…”

Getting goosebumps, Jin Qingyan almost threw his pen at him as he shot Long Tianze a glare.

“Why are you staring at me like that? I’m not finished yet. I just want you to organize an outdoor camp, since we haven’t gone out for some fun in quite a long while. What do you think?” Long Tianze continued.

“Why do I have to organize it? Can’t you do it yourself?” asked Jin Qingyan. As soon as he finished his sentence, he seemed to have realized something and said, “Do you want me to invite Qingyue along?”

“Well, you said that yourself, not me,” answered Long Tianze frantically.

“That stubborn personality of yours. You were obviously implying it, yet you’re still refusing to admit it. If the weather’s fine tomorrow, we shall go watch the sunrise.”

“I’ve already checked the weather forecast. The weather’s going to be great tomorrow.”

“I’ll hand my work for the evening over to my subordinates. Go get ready, I’ll say that I’m the one inviting her.”

“Sure. But I’ll have to bring along another woman, to show how popular I am,” exclaimed Long Tianze.

“Do as you please.”

——

An Xiaoning bumped into Sun Weiwei and her assistant while getting off work. The duo had detested the sight of her during the day. Little did they expect to see her again in the evening.

“Great, you actually have someone to back you up, impressive for a lowly assistant like you. I heard you found your way to the director’s bed?” scorned Sun Weiwei with a strong tone of sarcasm.

“No such thing. I hope Ms. Sun won’t hold it against me,” said An Xiaoning as she quickly turned around to leave, not wanting to talk much.

“Then how did you manage to persuade the director to let you keep your job?” asked Sun Weiwei as she followed her closely.

“I have no comment,” uttered An Xiaoning coldly.

“I’d like to advise you, Ms. Sun, stop finding trouble out of nowhere. I’ll leave you alone if you leave me alone. However, if you choose to continue bothering me, I’ll be sure to retaliate. You’d better know your limits,” she added.

Watching An Xiaoning’s figure recede, Sun Weiwei broke into an uncontrollable rage. “She actually raged at me, atrocious!” she hollered.

Noticing how angry she was, her assistant hurriedly tried to placate her, “Sis Weiwei, lower your voice. There are a lot of people around.”

“Did you see how outrageously obnoxious she was? I’m going to look for the director, to make things clear,” Sun Weiwei stomped off while her assistant hurriedly chased after her.

Jing Tian was dog-tired from an entire day of work. Sun Weiwei had appeared just as he was sipping on some tea and finally getting some rest.

“What’s the matter? Why are you so angry?” he asked with a laugh upon seeing the exasperated Sun Weiwei.

“Director, why did you let that An Ning stay? I absolutely detest the sight of her, she gets on my nerves every single time. So I especially got the co-director to sack her. ”

Jing Tian answered, “I have my own reasons, which you don’t need to know about. She’s merely an assistant. If you don’t like having her touch up your makeup, you can simply get the makeup artist to do it himself, can’t you?”

“But I don’t wish to see her around.”

“Why? Give me a reason,” Jing Tian asked, sounding rather serious. Despite how, deep down, he already knew her reason, he still had to ask the obvious.

“No reason, I just don’t like her.”

“There should be a reason for that too. You can’t just get irritated at the sight of her, for no rhyme or reason at all.”

Sun Weiwei took a seat and replied, “Perhaps she’s too ugly. She’s just like a thorn in my flesh.”

“Too ugly? She’s not, though. That’s enough, Weiwei. Stop making mountains out of molehills. I’m tired, I need some rest. You two may leave,” said Jing Tian as he stood up.

Sun Weiwei and her assistant had no choice but to leave helplessly.

Having returned to her own room, Sun Weiwei still felt ill at ease as she voiced her thoughts, “What if she tells the matter to others? If she’s no longer in the production unit, no one is going to believe her words then.”

Trying to placate her, the assistant consoled, “Sis Weiwei, people might still not believe her, even if she belongs to the production unit. Let’s not worry too much, she’s merely a makeup artist’s assistant, no one’s going to take her word for it.”

“That’s true. But we have to be vigilant and cautious too. I really feel like giving her a tight slap,” Sun Weiwei snapped, regretting her actions that day. She would not be plagued with the woes of this issue if she had been more careful.

——

Just as An Xiaoning reached home, Jin Qingyan informed her that they were going to visit the peak of a mountain to watch the sunrise, and thus, they would be camping there that night.

“But it’s going to be cold at night,” she voiced her concern.

“Don’t worry, we can hug each other for warmth. It’ll only be cold and lonely for singles,” said Jin Qingyan. As soon as he ended his sentence, he received an incoming call from Long Tianze, whom he told to wait at the door.

“How many of us will there be?”

“Five or six.”

“Who are they?” she asked while changing into a fresh set of clothes and placing a camera into her bag.

“Apart from us, Tianze and his female friend would also be tagging along. I’ve also invited Qingyue over the phone, she’s coming over now.”

The couple left the house after they were done with packing. Donning a pair of shades, Long Tianze leaned against the car and waited for them. Upon seeing them, he complained, “Take any longer and it will be pitch dark by the time we reach the peak of the mountain.”

‘What’s the hurry?” asked Jin Qingyan as their family chauffeur arrived with Jin Qingyue in the car.

“Long Tianze is coming along too?” asked Jin Qingyue. She had alighted and was walking towards them.

Humming in agreement, Jin Qingyan said, “We’re taking his car there. Hop on.”

Jin Qingyue opened the car door and hopped on without greeting An Xiaoning at all. However, it did not bother An Xiaoning as she followed and got into the car together with Jin Qingyan.

Noticing the well-endowed woman sitting opposite her, Jin Qingyue asked, “Who’s this?”

Long Tianze, who was seated in the driver’s seat, began to introduce, “Haven’t you already met her? She’s Mo Li.”

Jin Qingyue curled her lips and scorned in curiosity, “Why does she look so different now? Did she get plastic surgery? She used to be so ugly.” After all, Jin Qingyue had been overseas for a long time, and it was only natural for her not to recognize Mo Li right away.

“She was still a child, then. Now that she’s undergone puberty, she’s obviously going to dress up and look better than before,” Long Tianze could not help but stand up for Mo Li.

Without another word, Jin Qingyue glanced opposite her, before looking down at her mobile phone. She then began to play her mobile game.

She had completely ignored her sister-in-law’s presence. Not letting her behavior bother her, An Xiaoning took the initiative to strike a conversation with Jin Qingyue, “Qingyue, what have you been doing abroad, all these years?”

“Nothing much, just enjoyed life,” answered Jin Qingyue.

“Oh, I thought you had been pursuing your studies. Your brother hadn’t mentioned much.”

“I stopped schooling ages ago. I’m not as smart as my brother. Besides, I’m not very career-minded, and I just prefer doing things I like and enjoy. Girls are meant to be married off sooner or later anyway. Look how well you’re living now, just because you married my brother. There are countless envious women out there who are coveting your place as a young madam.”

Chapter 27: I Was Just Playing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

An Xiaoning placed the finished cup of ginger tea on the table and sprung from her seat. “Didn’t you say that actions speak louder than words? Should I do just that and express my gratitude through actions?” she asked, draping her arms over his neck.

Jin Qingyan tightened his core and answered, “Trying to please me?”

With a smile, she let go of him and said in response, “Please you? In your dreams. I was just playing.”

“…”

“I was just thinking, should they decide to give me the sack tomorrow, I’ll just tell them I’m your wife. Do you think they’ll think twice about firing me then?”

Pretending not to mind her suggestion, Jin Qingyan replied sarcastically, “You may gladly do so. At least I won’t be the only one getting embarassed when the word spreads, about how my wife had experienced working behind the scenes of a TV production unit.”

“Right…”

——

The morning after, An Xiaoning returned to the production unit.

She arrived at the dressing room only to hear the makeup artist say, “An Ning, you’ve been sacked. Here’s your salary for yesterday.”

An Xiaoning watched as the makeup artist handed her 80 dollars.

Accepting the money, she asked, “Why?”

Although she had already known the answer, more or less, she still wanted to ask for the reason.

“It was the co-director who personally informed me about the decision. I don’t know why exactly, either.”

With a nod, An Xiaoning turned around and headed to the director’s office. Upon seeing An Xiaoning, the director’s assistant asked, “What are you here for?”

“To look for the director, to discuss some matters.”

“Who are you?” asked the assistant. Realization hit after a moment, then he continued, “Oh. You’re the newly hired assistant makeup artist, right?”

“Yes, I only need two minutes of the director’s time.”

“The director is not in right now.”

“Then, can I wait here for him? Just for a little while.”

Looking as if he had been put on a spot, the director’s assistant murmured, “Um…”

At just that moment, the director returned and entered, passing by An Xiaoning. “Director, she’s looking for you,” said the assistant.

The director raised his head and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Will you leave us here for a while?” An Xiaoning said cordially to the assistant.

“He’s my assistant. You may just speak your mind, there’s no need to be so secretive. Just what’s the matter?” chided the director, who was rather nonchalant.

An Xiaoning continued to speak, “Director, if you’re sure you won’t regret your decisions after hearing what I have to say, then it’s fine by me. But I really have something important to speak to you about. Please take this seriously.”

Noticing how serious An Xiaoning seemed, though he was not sure what she wanted to speak to him about, the director let out a cough and said, “Xiao Li, please go outside for a while.”

“Okay.”

The director’s assistant then turned around and exited the room, closing the door behind him.

Standing opposite the director, An Xiaoning said, “Director, I have something to ask of you. But I won’t take your help for granted. I can tell your fortune.”

“Huh? Tell my fortune?” asked the director, who was bewildered at what he had just heard.

“Yes, as long as you give me your birth characters, I can tell the fortune of your entire life. If you don’t believe me, you may tell me your birth characters and I’ll talk about the past events in your life. You can then tell me if I’m right. How does that sound?”

The director was rather apprehensive about An Xiaoning’s fortune-telling skills. He said, “What if your readings are not accurate?”

“If they’re not accurate, then I’ll leave immediately and never appear in front of you again. Director, I hope you’ll treasure this chance. If you think I’m a swindler, then you may tell me the birth characters of someone you know. You can then hear what I have to say about their fortune. How about that?” said An Xiaoning with a smile.

Squinting, the director began sizing An Xiaoning up and said, “16/02/XXXX.”

“How about the name and address on the household registry certificate?”

The director revealed all the details while An Xiaoning closed her eyes for an entire minute. After that, she said, “I didn’t expect you to actually tell me your own set of birth characters. I’ll start off with some simple events. You sat in a pail full of hot water when you were a year old, leaving behind a scar on the left side of your buttocks. You also got into a fight with your classmate when you were seven years old, resulting in an eyeball injury, though it wasn’t too serious. When you were nine, your father passed away in an accident, your mother remarried when you turned 12, and you moved into the school dormitory when you were 16. You’ve always been independent, sharing a distant relationship with your mother. You had your first relationship at 19, but your then-girlfriend was just using you as her backup. Hence, you two didn’t last very long. You lost your chastity when… would you like me to continue?” chuckled An Xiaoning, noticing the look of shock on the director’s face.

“Go on.”

“Alright, you lost it last year. Your current relationship status is ’empty window.’ There’s a woman courting you, but you’ve yet to agree to a relationship with her. If you’d like to know more about the future, I can read it for free, but on the condition that you promise me something. It may seem like a small matter to you, but it’s rather serious to me,” An Xiaoning went on, speaking at an extremely fast pace.

“Tell me about it.”

An Xiaoning spoke her mind and said, “While filming at Mount Heyuan yesterday, the assistant of the female lead of the drama had brought me to a secluded area on the mountain and abandoned me there. I was drenched in the pouring rain, and today, I was told by the co-director that I had been sacked. Thus, I would just like to ask for you to promise to let me work here for a month.”

The request was merely a piece of cake to the director.

It was just a matter of his words.

“Do you have any conflict with Weiwei?”

“No, it’s just that I happened to stumble upon a bag of powder which looked like drugs in her nanny van. I guess she was afraid that I would leak the matter. I’m not that kind of person, but she had gone overboard, and thus, I have no choice but to say it. But I also understand that if I were to leak this matter to the media, her life would be ruined, and so would this drama, before it even goes on air. I’m not the type to do something like that.”

The director shot her a glance and said, “I will settle this matter accordingly. I want us to become friends, what do you think about that?”

“You don’t have to worry about me spreading a single word about the matter. I won’t.”

“I’m not concerned about that. It’s just that I like your personality, and I’d like to be your friend. What’s your name?” he asked, waving his hand.

“An Ning.”

“Nice to meet you, An Ning, I’m Jing Tian.”

“Since you’re so sincere as to believe me, though it’s only the first time we’ve met, I think it’s not a bad idea at all. Do I return to my workplace now?”

“Alright, you go ahead. I’ll get my assistant to head there soon,” he said with a nod.

An Xiaoning showed the “OK” hand sign and turned around to happily leave, keeping her hands behind her back. The matter was resolved, just like that.

Jing Tian’s assistant entered the room and asked out of curiosity, “Brother Tian, what did that lady come to speak to you about?”

“Go to the dressing room now and tell them this. No one is to sack An Ning, unless they wish to lose their job too.”

“Huh?”

“Not ‘huh.’ What are you waiting for? Go, quick,” he rushed his assistant.

The assistant hurried over as instructed. Gently knocking on the table, Jing Tian smirked and thought to himself, “An Ning… what an interesting girl she is.”

——

“Boss, someone is calling you again!” An Xiaoning’s ringtone went off with an incoming call from Jin Qingyan as soon as she began working.

She moved aside to answer the call, “Hello.”

“I’m sending my deepest regards and concern about your issue at work. I’m worried you got sacked,” said Jin Qingyan over the phone, sounding as if he was harboring bad intentions.

Chapter 26: In Your Dreams
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“It’s Sis Weiwei looking for you. Are you going or not?” asked the assistant. Her voice had become stern, as if to imply that An Xiaoning would be looking for trouble if she does not do as she was told, especially since it was the female lead who asked to see her.

“Go ahead. It’s the female lead calling,” urged the extra who was next to her.

She had no choice but to get up and alight from the coach together with Sun Weiwei’s assistant.

“What is it that you have to drag me here to talk about?” asked a dissatisfied An Xiaoning when she could no longer see much of the coach.

“Did you see something when you were in our nanny van?”

“Saw something?” asked An Xiaoning, feigning ignorance. “I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“You look pretty smart. But let me warn you, do not spout any nonsense about what you saw today to anyone. You can eat anything you want, but you can’t do the same for the things you say. Sis Weiwei is not going to let you off if she finds out.”

“Why can’t you say anything you want, but you can eat anything you’d like? If the food is poisoned, then wouldn’t it be harmful to eat it?” corrected An Xiaoning.

“…” The assistant snapped, “Have you got any brains? That’s not my point at all.”

“Maybe? I’ve always felt like I was different ever since I was young. Maybe I really don’t have any brains.”

Knowing that it was a prompt from Sun Weiwei when her phone vibrated, the assistant quickly said, “I shall tell you the truth. Sis Weiwei’s God-brother is the famed Ye Xiaotian. You should know about the Ye family right? Know your limits and behave yourself. You’d better be mindful of what you say.”

She walked towards the nanny van after saying her piece.

An Xiaoning followed closely behind. To her shock and dismay, she discovered that the coach had left without her. Sun Weiwei’s nanny van was the only vehicle left in sight, but she knew they would not offer to ferry her.

An Xiaoning had realized by now that the reason the assistant had asked her to talk at such a faraway place was so she could abandon her at the dilapidated place.

“Bye… You may slowly walk back by yourself!” the assistant gloated happily as she waved at An Xiaoning near the window.

“Damn it! To hell with you!” cursed An Xiaoning, finally letting off some of the steam and anger she had been suppressing.

An Xiaoning was filled with rage as she watched the nanny van slowly disappear out of sight. She whipped out her phone, wanting to call her husband, only to realize that her phone was out of battery.

She could not have been any unluckier.

She stood rooted to the ground like a homeless spirit. Noticing that the sky was turning dark, she picked up her speed and hurriedly walked down the mountain.

Since the journey by car would already take 20 minutes, An Xiaoning realized that she would have to continue walking for an extended period of time.

Yet, she did not have a better choice.

Storms gather without warning, and bad luck befalls men overnight. To her dismay, it began to pour heavily.

An Xiaoning finally understood what it means to make a rod for her own back — insisting on making a bet with Jin Qingyan, she had landed herself in such a horrid place and situation instead of simply enjoying her life as a rich man’s wife.

She had to pay the consequences of the decisions she chose to make.

By the time she reached the foot of the mountain, she was about to collapse.

Fortunately, she stumbled across a mini mart.

She walked towards the mart and asked in a weak and feeble voice, “Sir, could I please borrow your phone to make a call? I was abandoned by the production team on the mountain, and I didn’t bring my phone and wallet. But don’t worry, I’ll pay you for the telephone call when the person picking me up arrives.”

“Miss, how did you get so drenched? Hurry in, the phone is on the table. You may make the call inside.”

“Thank you, Sir.” An Xiaoning wiped the rain water off her face with her hands and quickly went inside to give Jin Qingyan a call.

She did not try to memorize his phone number intentionally, it was simply too eye-catching to not remember. It was easy to remember his phone number just after a glance.

188888888XX

There was a response only after the second call.

“Hello,” it was Jin Qingyan’s voice indeed.

“Hubby, I’ve been abandoned. My phone is out of battery, and I left my wallet in a box with the production unit.”

“Where are you?”

“A mini mart at the foot of Mount Heyuan.”

“Got it, I’ll come to pick you up now,” said Jin Qingyan as he hung up shortly after.

An Xiaoning put down the phone and sat at the entrance of the minimart. “Thank you so much, Sir,” she said in gratitude.

“No problem. Everyone is bound to meet with a difficulty every now and then. Here, dry your hair, Miss,” replied the mini mart owner, handing her a dry towel.

She cast him a smile and began to dry herself.

After more than 20 minutes, Jin Qingyan finally arrived.

He pulled up at the entrance of the mini mart and An Xiaoning rushed forward to open the door. Instead of hopping in, she asked, “Do you have five dollars?”

“There,” said Jin Qingyan. He handed her a 10-dollar note.

She took the money and handed it to the owner while grabbing a bottle of mineral water.

After he returned her the change, she bowed and thanked him once again, “Sir, I’ve got to get going now, thank you so much! ”

He waved at her and said, “Goodbye.”

She hopped onto the car and closed the door before gulping down the entire bottle of mineral water, all in one go.

An Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and poured out her grievances, “Hubby, a prank was pulled on me today.”

“You’re so muddle-headed all the time, I’m not surprised that you got pranked.”

“The female lead of the drama, Sun Weiwei, had asked me to touch up her makeup. I accidentally tripped over her assistant’s leg and fell onto her pouch. Little did I expect there to be a container of white powder in her pouch. I managed to catch a glimpse of it…”

“Look, you were being such a dimwit.”

An Xiaoning’s face stiffened and she retorted, “I don’t think I was dimwitted. It’s just that they were overly-suspecting and paranoid. I wouldn’t have planned to do anything if they didn’t treat me that way. But now… I’m going to show them that I’m not to be trifled with,” she said menacingly, anger written all over her face.

“Aren’t you planning to keep your job? How are you going to show them that you’re not to be trifled with? To be honest, a female lead like her can get you fired easily.”

“There’ll always be a way out in due course. I have my own way, always. Haven’t I made a bet with you? I won’t admit defeat that easily. ”

“Wow, you’ve got a backbone,” said Jin Qingyan, a smile hanging from the corner of his lips.

“Thanks a lot, though, for coming to pick me up.”

“Actions speak louder than words,” he hinted.

An Xiaoning did not continue bickering with him and instead remained silent as she looked out of the window.

After some time, they arrived at the villa.

An Xiaoning alighted from the car and hurriedly ran inside the house. After changing into her home slippers, she quickly headed upstairs for a comfortable, warm bath. She then changed into a set of thick pyjamas to stay warm. The kitchen helper had also brought her some hot ginger tea, to warm herself up.

“Young Madam, how did you get so drenched?”

“I’m fine, Auntie Chen.”

“Enjoy your ginger tea, Young Madam. I shall head back to the kitchen. Do come down later for dinner.”

“Sure,” replied An Xiaoning. After pulling her hair back, she removed her home slippers and sat cross-legged on the bed while sipping on her ginger tea.

At the sight of her relaxing on the bed, Jin Qingyan mocked with curled lips, “Isn’t it so much more relaxing and carefree to stay at home and enjoy life as a Young Madam, without having to go out and work?”

“It is. I won’t attend work tomorrow if you decide to forfeit the bet and admit defeat, then grant me any wish I’d like.

“In your dreams,” he replied.

Chapter 71: A Matter of One Sentence
“Which family are you from?” Jiao Qinglong narrowed his eyes and asked. His tone was no longer as relaxed as before. It had become very cold and stern. He did not suspect that Jiang Tong was deliberately getting close to him, because they had met through playing games. Moreover, it was a game on a private server. Most people would not play those games for too long, including Jiao Qinglong himself. He was playing on the private server for two days today, them he might play another game in a few days. In addition, he was very confident in the confidentiality of his information. He did not think that anyone would know which game he was playing to get close to him in the game.


Jiao Qinglong could be sure that Jiang Tong did not know who he was before they met. The vibes that Jiang Tong gave off was that she just wanted to deal with the matter of her boyfriend’s company as soon as possible. If he had not kept pestering Jiang Tong, the two of them would not have met. Jiao Qinglong even brought up the matter of the meeting himself, so Jiao Qinglong instantly understood the subtle expression on Jiang Tong’s face when she entered the door and looked at him. That subtle expression wasn’t because she recognized his identity, it was because she had a rough understanding of him and knew why he left his family to do business on his own. The trivial matters of their family could only be understood by people who had reached a certain level of status or important figures.


“Boss Jiao, relax.” Jiang Tong smiled, put down the teacup, and said, “To tell you the truth, I really don’t belong to any important family. I don’t have the background that you think I do, but I do know a little about you. Also… I want to use what you said before to say that we are indeed fated!” After saying that, Jiang Tong showed a very nuanced expression.


“No background? Your family should be quite rich, right? What business is it?” Jiao Qinglong did not believe Jiang Tong’s words at all.


“It’s a noodle shop. A small business like that is not worth mentioning.” Jiang Tong smiled and waved her hand. She was not lying. Her family background was average, so it was indeed not worth mentioning.


Jiao Qinglong was silent, and then he put the teacup on the table. “Forget it. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.” After saying that, he showed a bright smile to Jiang Tong. Jiao Qinglong had such a personality. He was very deep-minded and very good at hiding things. On the surface, he said that he would let it go, but he would definitely investigate Jiang Tong later. Although he didn’t think that Jiang Tong would be a threat to him, he still had to know who Jiang Tong was, and which family she came from.


“Tell me about your boyfriend. How did the spokesperson even get hit by a car? That is too unlucky.” Jiao Qinglong changed the topic. He looked at Jiang Tong and said, “Seeing how you don’t hesitate to charge money in the game, how come you couldn’t even handle a spokesperson?”


“I was tricked.” Jiang Tong sighed, then smiled and said, “It can’t be helped. Business is not good these days, and there are all kinds of problems. Boss Jiao, you are also a businessman. You should understand the twists and turns.”


Jiao Qinglong nodded. He obviously understood the deceit that came with it. He picked up the teacup and clicked his tongue. “But the competition here is fierce enough. You directly knocked the spokesperson into the hospital. Your methods are quite ruthless.”


“It can’t be considered normal business competition, but it is indeed to hinder the development of the company.” Jiang Tong shook her head and deliberately made it vague.


The corner of Jiao Qinglong’s mouth twitched. “This method is too wicked. Just who did the spokesperson offend?” He did not know why Jiang Tong was not considered a business competitor. He was not that curious, and moreover, the matters of other people’s companies had nothing to do with him.


“Yes, I have been annoyed by this matter for the past few days. We knew that the other party would cause trouble, but we did not expect them to directly make a move on the spokesperson. This spokesperson is also the one for a new product. The press conference has not even started yet, so the spokesperson can’t be used anymore.” Jiang Tong shook her head helplessly.


“It’s not easy for you either.” Jiao Qinglong smiled. “How about this? Although we’ve just met, I, Jiao Qinglong, am a man of my word. I’ll help you settle the spokesperson matter. Just tell me who you want.” He took out his phone. At that moment, it was as if as long as Jiang Tong said the name, he would call the person over.


“The spokesperson needs to be suitable for the company’s product…” Jiang Tong said carefully.


“Oh, right, right, right.” These words reminded Jiao Qinglong, “I haven’t asked you yet. What is your boyfriend’s company called? What business does he do? How big is it?” Although he asked about the size, Jiao Qinglong tacitly agreed that Jiang Tong’s boyfriend’s company was not small.


“It does make-up and fashion. It’s considered famous in City Z, but it can only be considered a small-scale boutique internationally.” After Jiang Tong said that.., Jiao Qinglong smiled. “Make-up? That’s too easy. Just find a young, beautiful female celebrity with good skin. I can do it with one word.”

Chapter 70: Meeting Once
Dragon Slaying Warrior didn’t know the owner of this private game, but he was a super rich man with over 10 million dollars in cash. The game owner would probably treat him very respectfully as they would to their ancestor.


Jiang Tong turned off the computer and left.


About half an hour later, Jiang Tong arrived at the teahouse in the Western District that the Dragon Slaying Warrior had mentioned. The entire street was the teahouse. It looked antique and was considered an invisible high-end social place.


Jiang Tong walked towards the teahouse. As soon as she walked in, a well-dressed and beautiful waiter came up to her with a professional smile on his face. He greeted, “Miss, do you have a reservation?” His voice was very gentle.


“I’m here to meet a friend.” Jiang Tong showed the name of the private room that the Dragon Slaying Warrior had sent to the waiter. The waiter brought Jiang Tong to the door of the private room. “This way please,” he gestured.


“Thank you.” After thanking the waiter, Jiang Tong pushed open the door of the private room. The private room was very spacious and looked like it could seat more than ten people. There was only a table in the middle of the private room, four wooden chairs, and some decorations such as vases and screens. A man in his early forties was wearing a simple shirt and shorts, sitting at the table and drinking tea. He was not too tall and a little chubby, but he was not too fat. His hair had not been washed for a few days, and his face was full of stubble. He looked very sloppy and greasy. At first glance, no one would think that he was a rich and powerful person. But in fact, he was not just rich, he was especially rich! One thing that was worth noting was that there was a very light scar on the right side of his neck. This was also his most prominent feature. According to Jiang Tong’s knowledge, this scar was caused by a car accident many years ago.


When Jiang Tong came in, the middle-aged man also looked at Jiang Tong. He was stunned because Jiang Tong was too young and too beautiful! He knew that Jiang Tong was a woman. Furthermore, she said that she helps her boyfriend deal with the company’s matters. He thought that Jiang Tong was the kind of unattractive rich woman in her 30s or 40s who kept young boys. But now…


“Boss Jiao?” Jiang Tong spoke first with a very surprised look. She deliberately wanted the other party to think that the two of them were really fated.


“Jiang Tong?” Jiao Qinglong looked at Jiang Tong and said hesitantly.


“Yes, it’s me.” Jiang Tong nodded and walked into the private room. The waiter closed the door from outside.


“You know me?” Jiao Qinglong’s gaze followed Jiang Tong’s movements.


“Of course, I know you. You’re the second young master of the Jiao family of Hongyuan Industries. You’re very well-known. I guess we’re really fated.” When Jiang Tong said that it was fated for them to meet, she sounded very quick-witted.


Jiao Qinglong also noticed the subtlety in Jiang Tong’s tone. This was something that Jiang Tong deliberately let him notice. Jiang Tong sat down on the chair opposite Jiao Qinglong. Hongyuan Industries was a company that mainly focused on manufacturing. It mainly did OEM processing. In the OEM field, Hongyuan Industries could be ranked in the top ten in the country, its total assets exceeded 60 billion. The current Chairman of Hongyuan Industries was almost 70 years old and was already in a semi-retired state. The person who actually ran Hongyuan Industries was Jiao Qinglong’s brother, Jiao You.


Although Jiao Qinglong also had shares in Hongyuan Industries and his own business, it could not be compared to Hongyuan Industries.


“My reputation…” Jiao Qinglong laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head. Then, he asked Jiang Tong, “Which family are you from?”


“Family?” Jiang Tong did not seem to understand.


Jiao Qinglong frowned. He felt that Jiang Tong must be from a big family. Otherwise, he could not explain why she was so rich at such a young age, spending tens of millions of dollars in the game without even blinking. “Forget it. If you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t ask. But you’re so young and you’re a girl to boot. How can you play such an old game? You’re ten years younger than I had expected.” Jiao Qinglong poured himself and Jiang Tong a cup of tea as he asked.


“I was just casually playing. Recently, I’ve been under a lot of pressure. I just want to find a game to vent some of my stress,” Jiang Tong shrugged. Although she was beautiful, her tone was generous and didn’t seem to be stingy at all.


“What pressure?” Jiao Qinglong took a sip of tea and said with a sigh, “Nowadays, you young people are much more extravagant than us.”


“It’s alright.” While Jiang Tong was drinking tea, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. Judging from the sound, it was a martial artist. She laughed softly, “What? You even brought a bodyguard out? Are you guarding against me or your brother? Are you afraid that your brother will kill you?”


Jiao Qinglong stared at the teacup that was about to reach his mouth. His gaze towards Jiang Tong turned sharp. The words “Afraid that your brother will kill you” made Jiao Qinglong tense up. He stared at Jiang Tong without moving, it was as though he wanted to see through Jiang Tong.

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 69: Taken Away by Her Husband
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The window was lowered.

Li Sicheng saw the arrogant man leaning against the back seat immediately. Leaning to one side, Li Sicheng had his hair and clothes slightly messy, which looked oddly suspicious. Li Sicheng slowly turned his head, his eyes sharp and deep like a jaguar. Lu Yihan could see hostility in those eyes, silently threatening. Cold and dangerous.

As he glanced inside, all he could see was the ripped clothes Su Qianci was wearing. Not expecting to see that, Lu Yihan was surprised by the scene. Blushing slightly, he felt relieved. So, she was not a victim of domestic violence. However, at the same time, he felt a bit disappointed. Feeling torn, Lu Yihan asked, “You are Qianqian’s husband?”

Qianqian? How intimate!

Li Sicheng frowned. Lu Yihan suddenly felt a chill sent down his spine. This man was as terrifying as people said he was.

“You need something?” Li Sicheng’s voice was low, with clear distance.

“We are just classmates. Since we haven’t seen each other for a long time, we had dinner together. Please don’t get the wrong idea.” Lu Yihan then added, “I believe you have means to find out that we have never met before this.”

“Lu Yihan, just go back,” Su Qianci said from the backseat, her voice hoarse.

However, Lu Yihan’s eyesight was completely blocked by Li Sicheng, preventing him from seeing her. For some reason, Lu Yihan felt something was off. However, he could not tell what it was. It seemed that that she did not consent to it? Shocked by his own thought, Lu Yihan frowned and asked, “Qianqian, are you okay?”

“It seems that you are very interested in participating in our intimate session?”

Lu Yihan blushed again, stepped back, and said, “No, I…”

“Your hand.”

Li Sicheng glanced at Lu Yihan’s hand holding the window, and Lu Yihan quickly retrieved it as if he had been struck by a lightning bolt. The windows were closed again. Watching the black Maybach going away, Li Sicheng suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart. She was gone… Taken away by her husband…

When she returned to Li Sicheng’s house, Su Qianci was almost pulled out of the car. Li Sicheng was incredibly strong, but he was trying to be gentle. Her wrist hurt in his grip, Su Qianci had to trot to catch up with him. As they entered the house, Su Qianci was pushed onto the sofa. Li Sicheng threw a phone to her. Su Qianci sat down and looked at the phone full of doubt. She immediately saw her own back and the profile of Lu Yihan in the photo. Whoever took the photo manipulated the end goal to make it look like that they were kissing.

“I did not!” Su Qianci fretted. No wonder he was so angry! This photo was clearly a set-up, but it happened to look incredibly realistic.

Chapter 68: Li Sicheng Is Gay?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Driving his car, Lu Yihan was trying to catch up but failed. However, the Maybach suddenly started to slow down. Lu Yihan quickly sped up and went next to the black car. However, because of the shield, Lu Yihan could see nothing. He was suddenly reminded of Su Qianci’s cry and the rumors he had heard. Rumor had it that Li Sicheng did not like women and had a weird temper. Rumor also had it that Li Sicheng was erratic.

“He never cares what I do.” Thinking of Su Qianci’s words, Lu Yihan suddenly felt suffocated.

Could it be that Su Qianci’s marriage is just a sham? Although Li Sicheng looked tall and handsome, could he actually be gay?

Startled by his own thought, Lu Yihan felt sorry for Su Qianci. He immediately drove up and blocked the Maybach’s way.

Struggling and fighting back, Su Qianci still could not get rid of the man on top of her. Li Sicheng’s movements became rougher as anger swallowed him. Su Qianci suddenly burst into tears when her clothes were ripped apart. She had never seen Li Sicheng like this before. In her previous lifetime, she had been kicked out of the car, questioned because of Tang Mengying’s words, and even used and then thrown away to put on a show for grandpa.

However, this was the first time that Li Sicheng had treated her this way. Why? Did he believe Tang Mengqing’s theory that she was cheating on her and try to make sure? Tasting Su Qianci’s tears, Li Sicheng was even more convinced that Su Qianci was cheating on him. Before the wedding night, she had played dumb. On the wedding night, she was inviting and Hot. However, after that, she had treated him like a monster.

He should have thought of it a long time ago. Although she gave him her virginity, her heart belonged to another man. All Li Sicheng could think about right now was to destroy her!

“Are you afraid?”

Li Sicheng paused, looking down at the shivering woman.

Yes…

Su Qianci answered silently but could not make a sound. Her eyes were full of fear, vulnerable and sad. His eyes were glittering as lust took over. Su Qianci’s heart was racing as she squeezed his sleeves harder. When she thought he was about to do something, the car suddenly stopped. Li Sicheng fell forward immediately, pushing against Su Qianci’s body.

Feeling the sudden pressure, Su Qianci let out a cry. As insane as Li Sicheng was, there had been distance between the two of them. However, with the brake, they were pushed together. The two burning bodies were entangled. Feeling the softness under him, Li Sicheng gritted his teeth, his face twisted.

Su Qianci clearly felt that he was holding something back.

However, what is it? Is he trying to resist the temptation to hit her?

Su Qianci was even more scared, her heart shivering.

Bang bang bang!

Their window was knocked on loudly…

Chapter 67: Car Sex
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The heavy breathing was supremely clear in the silent car. Su Qianci’s heart was racing like crazy. Feeling the erection against her stomach, Su Qianci stopped struggling. She gazed at him with her frightened look, begging silently. His eyes were locked on her. She was scared, while he was calm, as if he was not the guy who had a hard-on. The air felt sticky.

Although no one did anything, the chauffeur Yang felt his face burning.

Mr. Li is so… energetic!

“Sir, a red Renault has been following us for a while.”

Li Sicheng looked down and said quietly, “Go slower.”

“Huh?” Yang thought he heard it wrong.

“Let him catch up. Isn’t he trying to find out what I will do to this woman? Let him.”

Su Qianci felt a bit uneasy, trying to stay away from him. However, Li Sicheng acted faster and covered her lips with his, holding her chin. Su Qianci was terrified. He was rough with her. He was taking and taking and taking, almost breaking her into pieces with his arms. Su Qianci tried to get away but was locked down again.

Noticing her disobedience, he lifted her up and put her on top of him. Su Qianci breathed rapidly, trying to get out of his grip with all her limbs. However, there was no way she could fight him. Holding her waist with one hand, Li Sicheng pushed her thigh down with his other hand, forcing her sex against his penis. Through layers of fabric, she could still feel the heat, which made her struggle harder.

Li Sicheng whispered in her ear, “If you move again, I will take you right here.”

Yang did not dare to peek anymore. Hearing what Li Sicheng had said, he quickly put up the partition, looking straight ahead.

Su Qianci froze immediately. “You are not…” You are not into me, are you?

Su Qianci gritted her teeth and eventually did not speak her mind. However, Li Sicheng had gotten other ideas.

What wasn’t he? Her man? Her husband? Or… That boy toy? Seeing that red car approaching them, Li Sicheng was furious.

Flipping over, he pushed Su Qianci down. Su Qianci let out a cry and fell forward onto the leather chair. Li Sicheng’s dormant desire was stimulated further by the rustling of her dress. He bowed his head and bit her neck.

“Please don’t…” Su Qianci exclaimed, but the sentence was swallowed back.

Through the partition, Yang could still hear them. He clenched his legs as the car sex went on.

Chapter 25: You Idiot

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“It’s indeed a way out, but I can’t do this for life. It’s more taxing and harmful to my health than leaking Heaven’s secret.”

“That’s true. But, Sister, how did you get on this path?”

“Me? I was abandoned by my parents at my Master’s doorstep on the mountains. Master passed away a few years ago, and thus, I decided to leave the mountains,” answered An Xiaoning succinctly.

“Oh, so that’s how. You must have considered your Master to be your greatest kin.”

With a nod, An Xiaoning said, “Indeed. Don’t you think the production unit we joined seems rather low-budget? Notice how they didn’t even ask to check our identity cards before hiring us.”

“Perhaps every production unit is different.”

The clothing coordinator called for Mei Yangyang the moment she finished her sentence. She then hurried over before even finishing her meal.

An Xiaoning proceeded to the dressing room only to be told by the makeup artist that they were going to be filming on the mountains that day. The other actors involved were waiting in the room with their faces done, and all she had to do was to touch up their makeup.

She had meant for An Xiaoning to follow the production unit to the mountains to film, without the need for the makeup artist to tag along.

She agreed immediately, got all her beauty and makeup tools ready, and stood at the side to wait for the female lead, Sun Weiwei.

After the makeup artist finished doing Sun Weiwei’s makeup, An Xiaoning stood up, thinking that she was free to leave. Little did she expect that Sun Weiwei’s assistant would remind her at the last minute, “Sis Weiwei, your sponsor had asked for you to upload a selfie of yourself holding up a bottle of beverage onto Weibo in the afternoon 1 .”

“I’ll do just that. How annoying,” Sun Weiwei lamented in irritation.

She reached into her purse for 5 yuan and handed it to An Xiaoning. “Go get me a bottle of Brand X green tea,” she instructed.

An Xiaoning took the money and immediately went to buy the beverage.

There was a huge crowd of fans waiting at the door, perhaps because they had gotten the news that Sun Weiwei was going to be involved in outdoor filming that day. An Xiaoning took about 20 minutes to and fro. The very moment she entered the dressing room, she was faced with a lashing, “Did you die outside? You took forever!”

“There were too many fans outside. I had to exit from the back door to go buy the drink,” explained An Xiaoning calmly.

Sun Weiwei grabbed the green tea beverage from An Xiaoning and her purse from her assistant before leaving the dressing room, wearing a cap and shades.

“Follow along, quick,” the makeup artist signalled.

An Xiaoning nodded and followed closely behind Sun Weiwei and her assistant. She watched as Sun Weiwei greeted her screaming fans excitedly, a completely different person from the Sun Weiwei back in the dressing room.

Sun Weiwei managed to make her way into the nanny van, escorted by her bodyguards. Meanwhile, An Xiaoning boarded the coach and followed the rest of the production team, including the videographers, to the filming location.

The location of filming was on Heyuan Mountain, which was situated in the rural area of the city.

Unthinkingly grasping her clothes tightly, An Xiaoning felt extreme chill the moment she alighted from the coach. “What type of place is this? It’s so different from the city! Why is it so cold?” fumed Sun Weiwei as she got down from the nanny van.

“Hurry and get to your positions. The faster we finish filming, the earlier we get to leave. Hurry up, quick,” instructed the director, gesturing for everyone to get into position.

Sun Weiwei’s assistant proceeded to drape a jacket over her while An Xiaoning looked out for the actors’ makeup, giving them touch-ups when necessary. When it was Sun Weiwei’s turn, she harshly instructed, “You’d better do a good job,” with a stern and hostile look on her face.

When An Xiaoning was putting some powder onto Sun Weiwei’s face, she was shocked to see a wound which was concealed by a thick layer of powder. Noticing An Xiaoning staring at her, Sun Weiwei snapped, “What are you looking at? Never seen a face before? Go stand aside once you’re done, don’t be an eyesore and get in the way.”

“You’re good to go.”

“So annoying,” uttered Sun Weiwei. Carrying a highly-unapproachable aura, she seemed to detest others looking at her face.

During the process of filming, Sun Weiwei could not seem to get into it and ended up putting on a very unnatural performance. The director had no choice but to call her out, “What’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

“I need some rest,” she answered, her hands shaky, before turning around to enter the nanny van.

The director then proceeded to film the other scenes involving the other actors.

An Xiaoning constantly weaved through the crowd, looking out for actors to touch up their faded makeup.

“Whoever that is… come here and touch up Sis Weiwei’s makeup,” ordered Sun Weiwei’s assistant.

“Alright, coming!”

A strange, pungent odour attacked An Xiaoning’s senses as soon as she got into the van. Afraid to ask about it, she simply moved next to Sun Weiwei and went ahead with touching up her makeup all over again. However, An Xiaoning soon realized that there was a spot on her face that cannot be touched up anymore.

“Ms. Sun, there’s pus oozing out of the wound on your face. It shouldn’t be covered with makeup anymore, lest it becomes infected and deteriorates.”

Without consideration, Sun Weiwei retorted, “Would I not be aware of that? How am I supposed to continue filming without makeup? Are you going to stand in for me?”

An Xiaoning was about to explode with anger, but she suppressed it and kept mum. She reminded herself not to get into too much conflict, especially since she wanted to keep the job for at least a month.

It was lucky that the wound was rather small and, after cleaning away the pus and debris around the spot, it could be concealed very well with a fresh layer of powder.

Just as she was about to stand up and leave, carrying her tools, An Xiaoning accidentally tripped over the foot of Sun Weiwei’s assistant, who was sitting opposite her. She fell forward and landed on the seat next to the assistant. A small pouch was crushed beneath her.

Before An Xiaoning could even react, Sun Weiwei pushed her aside and hollered while staring daggers at her, “You idiot! I’ll kill you if you damaged my precious treasure.”

She then unzipped the pouch and took out a small, clear jar containing a white powdered substance. “Sis Weiwei…” exclaimed her assistant frantically.

Although Sun Weiwei had subconsciously put the jar back into her pouch, An Xiaoning still managed to catch a glimpse of it nonetheless.

“Scram, now!”

An Xiaoning let out a huge sigh. She felt a strong urge to vent her anger and give Sun Weiwei a tight slap for chiding her, even though she did not sit on the jar on purpose. However, on second thought, she decided to endure the humiliation and not retaliate.

After closing the door of the van, Sun Weiwei’s assistant worriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Sis Weiwei. If it weren’t for my leg, she wouldn’t have tripped and that wouldn’t have happened…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sun Weiwei interjected, “She can’t continue working with the production unit. Come here, I’ll tell you something.”

The assistant leaned in, and Sun Weiwei whispered into her ear before ending off her sentence by saying, “Do as I instructed.”

“Alright.”

——

It was already past 5 PM by the time the filming ended. An Xiaoning was exhausted. Although it was not labor-intensive, constantly having to stand around and touch up the actors’ makeup was also tiring. Thus, as soon as she was finished with her duties that day, she quickly rushed to board the coach.

At that very moment, Sun Weiwei’s assistant appeared again and asked, “What’s your name?”

“An Ning,” An Xiaoning said. It was the name she had used during the job application. She removed the character ‘Xiao’ to prevent people from recognizing her name.

“Oh, An Ning, will you come with me for a while? I have something to ask you.”

“But we’re leaving real soon. You can ask me about it when we get back,” answered An Xiaoning. She was feeling that something was amiss, though she did not know why the assistant was looking for her.

Chapter 24: What a Silly Girl

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


“Who was that?”

“A friend asking if I’d like to apply to be an extra actor at the broadcasting company, together with her,” answered An Xiaoning.

“You wouldn’t go, without a doubt,” sneered Jin Qingyan.

“How are you so certain about that? Because I’m your wife? Or do I look like I love living in luxury?”

“It’s tough being an extra on a film set. You’re not going to be able to take all the injustice and unfair treatment. Besides, you don’t have to put yourself through that kind of hardship just for a bit of money,” answered Jin Qingyan.

Feeling that he was obviously belittling her, An Xiaoning could not take it lying down. “Wanna bet?” she taunted.

“Sure, why not?”

“If I win the bet and become an extra, what are you going to do as a forfeit?”

Jin Qingyan sat up straight, and looked into her eyes, “If I lose the bet, I’ll reward you with a hundred kisses.”

“Save it,” she cursed with a grunt. “If you lose, you are to grant me any one wish I’d like, under the condition that it’s perfectly legal and that it does not involve monetary assets and property or personal attacks. How does that sound?”

“An extra for a drama-series-production unit is far different from those temporary ones for action films.”

“Of course,” said An Xiaoning as she looked down.

“Deal. But, under what identity are you going to apply to be an extra? If you use your real name and identity, they’re going to be treating you differently, and there’ll no longer be a point in our bet.”

“Then, what do you suggest I do?”

“I suggest that you not apply to be an extra and just work behind the scenes with the rest of the production unit. You won’t have to appear on-screen then. Use a different name and try to disguise yourself with some makeup. I’m sure no one will be able to recognize you that way,” said Jin Qingyan. He was eager to see how well she could deal with hardship.

“For how long do I have to keep the job?”

“One month. Are you game enough?” asked Jin Qingyan as he inched closer towards her, such that they could feel each other’s breath.

“You’re spiting me. There’s nothing I, An Xiaoning, am afraid of doing. It’s just a matter of whether I’d like to or not,” replied An Xiaoning.

“Alright. Very gutsy and confident of you. You deserve to be my wife. I’m really curious to see how long you can last. I heard it’s tough to work behind the scenes. Not only are the hours long, you also have to bear with the scoldings.”

“Don’t belittle me, I’ll show you what I’m made of, you’re going to be surprised. Remember not to go back on your word when the time comes,” said An Xiaoning. She put on her clothes as she spoke and got off the bed.

“Why don’t we put it on paper? If you can last a month, I’ll agree to any request of yours, with no time limit. If you can’t…” suggested Jin Qingyan, who was particularly invested in their bet.

“Then what?”

“Then you shall be my slave for a day. During then, you are to be at my beck and call at all times and follow every instruction I give. You’re not to go West if I tell you to go East, or use a washing machine if I tell you to wash the clothes.”

“Am I supposed to eat some feces even if you tell me to?” said An Xiaoning, though she could not help but laugh.

With a nod, he said, “Of course.”

“…”

“Are you afraid now?”

“Whoever’s afraid is a dog. It’s merely for a month. I will persevere, no matter how hard it gets. You shall see for yourself, how highly resistant I am to stress!” boasted An Xiaoning confidently.

“Mhmm, I shall wait and see. How about our honeymoon plans, though?” he asked.

“We’re not going anymore. You can transfer the money to be used for the honeymoon trip directly to my bank account,” said An Xiaoning, who was not in the mood for a honeymoon trip. Thus, she thought it would be wiser to exchange the trip for money.

“…” He asked, “You really have to be so money-minded, don’t you?”

“I’m just planning ahead for when you abandon me in the future. I’ll text you my bank account number later, you can transfer the money to it. Your wife is leaving for the production team interview after she’s done with her meal,” she retorted.

Watching the rear view of an An Xiaoning who’s full of gusto and confidence, Jin Qingyan broke into a smile. What a silly girl , he thought.

——

After breakfast, the newlyweds actually proceeded to draft an agreement for the bet, making two copies so they could keep one each.

Just like he had suggested, An Xiaoning disguised herself with some makeup. She concealed her fair and radiant skin under a layer of dull foundation makeup, and followed it with eye makeup that made her previously alluring eyes look unappealing and lifeless. These were coupled with a boring outfit composed of thick, shapeless athletic wear. Even Jin Qingyan found it hard to recognize her under that disguise.

She gave Mei Yangyang a call and they agreed to meet. “Sister, you’re really pretty, it’s just your skin that looks a little dull. But that doesn’t make you any less beautiful,” praised Mei Yangyang the moment she saw her.

“You’re the only one who would say that. I’ve never been to Yingshi Jidi[“Yingshi Jidi” translates to TV Land] or any other broadcasting company. Have you?”

“Neither have I. But there’s a first to everything. Let’s go have a look, Sister. What type of job are you looking for?”

“I want to work behind the scenes,” answered An Xiaoning as they boarded the public bus.

“Working behind the scenes is much more tiring than being an extra. I want to be an extra, but I want to stick with you and do the same things as you. At least we’ll have each other.”

“Sure, we’ll have a look when we get there,” said An Xiaoning, looking at the frank and outspoken Mei Yangyang who was beaming with happiness.

The two chatted merrily along the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the TV broadcasting company.

What made Mei Yangyang happier was that it was rather smooth and easy for an adult like An Xiaoning to land themselves a behind-the-scenes job. It was a production unit for a period drama series that they would be working with, with An Xiaoning working as the assistant of the makeup artist and Mei Yangyang as that of the clothing coordinator. Since they were still considered to be working together, they were rather pleased with the outcome.

“Sister, we will be paid 2500 yuan a month. That’s quite a lot.”

“It’s okay,” said An Xiaoning. She was not concerned about the paycheck at all. If she had not agreed to a bet with her husband, she would never have wanted to experience life working behind the scenes.

Possessing a considerable set of makeup skills, An Xiaoning found the task of putting on makeup for the actors to be a simple one. The makeup artist was rather relieved to see that there was no need to teach An Xiaoning the basics since she was already extremely familiar with makeup.

After an entire morning of work, An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang squatted on the floor to have their lunch. Noticing how happy and unexhausted Mei Yangyang was, An Xiaoning asked, “What work have you done in the past?”

“I’ve done almost everything you can think of. I may be young, but I’ve worked all sorts of jobs before. Among others, I’ve been a sales assistant for a clothing store, a supermarket promoter, an operator of the assembly line at an electronics factory,” said Mei Yangyang while shoving a spoonful of rice into her mouth.

“You seem to be really young.”

“I’m already 20. I’m not very cultured nor highly educated, and I joined the workforce long ago. My family is not affluent, and I have a younger sister who’s still in school. Some time ago, my mother got knocked down by a car while riding on a motorbike to work, and we haven’t found the culprit since then. It’s been so long, we’ve given up hope on ever finding him.”

“How is your mother now, then?”

“She’s been bedridden for more than two years, while my father looks after her. He goes to work sometimes, but he can only get a job near home. So the livelihood of my family is entirely dependent on me.”

Watching the smile on her face, An Xiaoning really could not see how Mei Yangyang was still so positive and optimistic.

“Then, how did you learn how to read fortunes?”

Mei Yangyang answered, “I think I was born with a flair for it. I have a few books about fortune-telling. They were given to me by a beggar called Huazi when I was younger. I used to be so curious about them. I read them all day long, every day, without fail. I’ve committed their content to memory; I know them like the back of my hand. I’ve also tried reading and telling the fortune of some others, and I found my readings to be pretty accurate. Thus, I thought fortune-telling could become a means of living.”

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.
