0:00Su Yamin must have already thought of a
0:02way to deal with my threat. I gritted my
0:05teeth. I served Su Yamin food, poured
0:08wine, and handed her tissues. Honey, I
0:10know you can't bear to see me suffer and
0:12don't want me to act in dramas. I'll
0:14just do it for 2 months. Su Yaming,
0:17isn't this all about making me fawn over
0:19her in front of Morang Yan so that she
0:21misunderstands their relationship as
0:23being good and I can't get Morang Yan? I
0:25can only fulfill her wish. Morang Yin
0:28looked at me, then looked at Su Yaming.
0:30She didn't say anything, just looked at
0:32me with two extra servings. After a few
0:35bites, Morang Yan stood up. How Ming,
0:39I'm done eating. I'll head back first.
0:42You two enjoy your meal. Only the two of
0:44us were left in the private room. I
0:46looked at Su Yaming with a smile. Are
0:48you satisfied now? Su Yaming raised her
0:51wine glass. Seeing you so happy. Of
0:53course, I'm not satisfied. If you cried,
0:56maybe I'd be satisfied. I used to cry a
0:59lot because of Su Yamin when I was
1:02upset. If I like Morang Yan and she left
1:04because of a misunderstanding, not
1:06crying, at least being upset would be
1:08the proper reaction. But my reaction
1:10made Su Yamin incredulous. I leaned
1:13towards Su Yaming, looking at her with
1:15deep affection. I don't even like her.
1:18Why would I be heartbroken? The one I
1:20love is you. Only you can make me sad.
1:23Su Yaming held her wine glass and
1:25sneered. If you love me, you think I'm
1:28blind. Facing her fierce gaze, I bit her
1:31lip. When I see you, I want to kiss you.
1:34If that's not love, what is? I was just
1:37thinking Su Yamin must be disgusted. But
1:40instead, she bit my lip in return. I was
1:43stunned for a moment, but I quickly
1:45reacted. Just like last time, I
1:47responded to Su Yamin<unk>s kiss. After
1:50all, Su Yaming is the female lead with
1:52god- tier looks. Kissing her is no loss
1:55for me. I kissed Su Yaming back. I
1:57didn't expect her to not push me away.
1:59Instead, the kiss became more intense.
2:02It was a while before she let go of me.
2:04Right after that, I heard Su Yaming ask
2:06coldly, "Do you think this means I like
2:08you?" I steadied my breathing and looked
2:10at her with a hint of scrutiny. "You can
2:13kiss me even if you don't like me. Don't
2:15you find it disgusting?" The next
2:17second, I saw Su Yaming's expression
2:19freeze. So, I was right for once. But
2:22soon, Su Yaming push me away. Which
2:25normal woman wouldn't react during a
2:27kiss, let alone a kiss. Even going to
2:30bed is fine. I stood up and approached
2:32her again, looking at her with tender
2:35eyes. Really? Then I want to give it a
2:37try. At such close distance, Su Yamin's
2:40gaze fell on my slightly swollen lips.
2:42She stood up, grabbed my hand, and
2:44pulled me outside. She dragged me all
2:46the way to the door. Standing at the
2:48room entrance, she opened the door. This
2:51woman really wants to sleep with me. Su
2:53Yaming glared at me coldly. Open the
2:56door and get on with it. I immediately
2:58pulled out the room card. Enter the
3:00room. I looked at Su Yaming, trying to
3:02calm myself down. After all, she's
3:05disgusted and allergic to me. A paper
3:07tiger. What am I afraid of? Su Yaming
3:10pulled her gaze back and gave me a cold
3:12smirk. Didn't you say you wanted to try?
3:14What are you standing there for? Only
3:16then did I raise my hand, my eyes full
3:18of undisguised excitement. I was too
3:21thrilled, thinking about how many rounds
3:23we'd go tonight. Su Yamin looked at me
3:25with deep, restrained eyes, as if
3:27holding back something intense. I just
3:29want to disgust her. So, she leave me
3:31alone for 10 days or half a month.
3:33Inexperienced as I was, I was determined
3:36not to lose in terms of momentum. I was
3:38ready to make a move. So nervous. Could
3:40it be your first time? As soon as I said
3:43that, her tense body lunged forward and
3:45bit my lip, kissing and nibbling
3:48hungrily. My heart melted under Su
3:50Yamin's kiss. But when she started
3:53making a move, I instantly lost my
3:55composure just when I thought her
3:57allergy to me had vanished. Su Yamin
3:59suddenly shoved me away. It was like she
4:01had held back for too long and hit her
4:03limit. Her eyes were stormy with
4:05emotion, but she mocked me coldly.
4:08That's all you've got. With skills like
4:10that, you want to seduce women. Then she
4:12got up and went straight to the
4:14bathroom. I heard the sound of water
4:16running in the bathroom. The sensation I
4:19just
4:20felt that itch in my heart proved I'm a
4:23normal man, unable to resist a beautiful
4:26woman's temptation while I was
4:29thinking. One day I'll return Su Yamin's
4:32threats tenfold.
4:35I'll make sure that even if she's
4:37disgusted, she still end up in bed with
4:40me. Just then my phone rang. Gur sent me
4:42a message. I opened it but found the
4:46message had been withdrawn. It was a
4:48photo of me and Sue Yamin entering a
4:50room together. No doubt Gur must have
4:53seen it and sent a message because of
4:55that. I immediately replied, "What shady
4:57thing were you trying to say that you
4:59withdrew it so fast? So quick to unend."
5:02Guru read my message but didn't respond.
5:04She typed something then deleted it.
5:06Deleted it then typed again over and
5:09over. Nothing she wrote felt right
5:12saying you don't love Su Yaming anymore
5:14that you were just being threatened that
5:16Su Yaming could never like you but the
5:18photo showed you to being so intimate.
5:21In the end Gur only replied, "You're
5:24still awake. How would I know if I'm
5:25asleep? Was I sleepwalking when I texted
5:28you? I saw the typing indicator showing
5:30non-stop. So I sent Gur another message.
5:34Take good care of the company. Don't
5:36worry about me. I can handle Su Yamin.
5:39Gur asked again, "Do you really not love
5:41Suyamin anymore?" I replied, "I don't
5:44love her anymore, but I'm still quite
5:46tempted by her body. Too bad I was never
5:48tempted by Gore." The typing indicator
5:51showed for a long time again, so I
5:53simply sent another message. Go to bed
5:55early. Don't stay up late. Good night.
5:57Gore eventually replied with just good
5:59night. I lay in bed for half an hour
6:02waiting. She still hadn't come out. She
6:05was probably so disgusted. She wanted to
6:07scrub a layer of skin off herself. Just
6:09as I couldn't help but go urge her, the
6:12bathroom door finally opened. Su Yaming
6:14came out wearing a bathrobe. Her great
6:17figure was on full display. I swallowed,
6:19my eyes full of lust as I stared at her.
6:22Can I sleep with you tonight, Sue?
6:25Yaming gave me a warning look. You sleep
6:28on the couch. I glanced over at the tiny
6:30halfmeter wide sofa. You said my skills
6:33were bad, yet you're still afraid to
6:35share a bed with me. Suit Yaming didn't
6:37respond. I sat down on the other side
6:39and picked up my buzzing phone. A few of
6:42my girlfriends were being snarky again.
6:45This is exactly why I don't like Jiu
6:47Haing. I still remember how he snapped
6:49at us last time. Explain yourself. If
6:53you don't clear this up, we're not
6:54friends anymore. Su Yaming glanced over.
6:57The sound of water running could still
6:59be heard from the bathroom. That muscle
7:02cramping
7:03disgust was proof that Su Yaming hated
7:05me. It also proved there was no way she
7:07liked Gui Haing. When I came out of the
7:10shower, I looked at Su Yaming lying
7:12down. I walked straight up, got under
7:14the covers, and leaned into her. What
7:17sleep on the couch? I'll make asterisk
7:19asterisk sleep on the couch. Just as I
7:22leaned in, Sue Yamin's whole body tensed
7:24up instantly. The next second, she
7:26flipped over and looked at me. She felt
7:28something strange in her heart. Jiu
7:30Hayoming shouldn't be like her,
7:32disgusted by a single touch. So why did
7:36he keep approaching her again and again,
7:38acting all clingy and
7:40attached? Could it be that Jiu Hyoming
7:43still had feelings for her? I couldn't
7:45handle Su Yamin<unk>s coldness. Just as
7:47I was about to turn over, Su Yamin<unk>s
7:50hand reached toward me. My body
7:52stiffened. Su Yaming sneered coldly at
7:55the corner of her mouth. What are you
7:56afraid of? Haven't you been waiting for
7:58this? I steadied myself and looked back
8:00at her. It's not fear. I've dreamed
8:02about this for years. Now that it's
8:05happening, I'm just a little nervous.
8:07Our eyes met, but Sue Yaming still
8:09didn't see. Even a trace of affection in
8:12my eyes, yet the heat of our bodies so
8:14close together once again stirred up her
8:17uncontrollable
8:18disgust. Dream come true. who said, "I
8:21want to make your dreams come true." Su
8:23Yaming spoke with disdain and got up to
8:26head to the bathroom. I smiled, got into
8:28a comfortable sleeping position, and was
8:30just starting to doze off when Su
8:32Yaming<unk>s cold voice rang out. Go
8:34sleep on the sofa, hesitate one more
8:37second, and don't even think about
8:38filming tomorrow's scene to make sure
8:40filming went smoothly tomorrow. I
8:42gritted my teeth and got up. The sofa
8:45was way narrow. I tossed and turned
8:48uncomfortably, seeing that damn woman
8:50sleeping so soundly in my bed. I
8:53couldn't help cursing her in my head.
8:54Eventually, I drifted off while cursing
8:57Su Yaming. Half asleep, I rolled off the
8:59sofa and found it was already morning.
9:02Su Yamin had already left. I got up and
9:05called Morang Yan to have breakfast
9:07together. Morang Yian looked me up and
9:09down
9:10curiously. I flicked her forehead. What
9:13are you staring at? Morang Yan smiled
9:15and touched her head. President Su left
9:18so early. What? Do you want her to stay
9:20a few more days? Doesn't Hioming Jay
9:23want that, too? I shook my head. Looks
9:25like she only slows down filming
9:27progress. Morang Yang couldn't help but
9:29smile. Hey Jay, that tone sounds really
9:32disdainful towards Su Yaming. Yaming. Hi
9:35turned to look at her. When did you
9:37become so gossipy? Mang Yan just
9:39chuckled. It's just that Su Yamining
9:41reminds me a lot of the aloof female
9:43lead from our script. It's kind of
9:45exciting. Really, I don't think so at
9:47all. Actually, the novel mentioned that
9:50before Su Yamin went after the Gu
9:52family, her attitude toward the original
9:54host clearly softened. It made the
9:56original host believe Su Yamin had
9:57fallen for her. While the Gu family had
10:00their guard down, she easily brought
10:02them down. She threw the original host
10:05from heaven into hell.
10:07Now, the news of Su Yaming visiting the
10:09set is still
10:11trending. Everyone thinks Su Yaming
10:13likes me. But so what if she kissed me
10:16last night? She's still disgusted and
10:19allergic to me. That means her plan to
10:21destroy the Gu family has been moved up.
10:23I need to speed up my money-making
10:25efforts. When I got to set, I went
10:27straight to the director to discuss
10:29filming overtime tonight to speed things
10:31up. I almost nailed every scene in a
10:34single take. Around 3:00 in the
10:36afternoon, Su Yaming was getting ready
10:38for a meeting. Her phone rang. It was a
10:41photo of me and Morang Yan in a kissing
10:43scene. Her face immediately darkened.
10:46She instantly messaged me. If I don't
10:48see you at home by 6:00, I'll have the
10:50police come find you. After sending the
10:52message, she slammed the phone on her
10:53desk. When I saw the message during a
10:55break, I was furious. Last night, Su
10:58Yaming was so grossed out she wanted to
10:59scrub her skin off. I thought that would
11:01keep her away for at least 10 days or
11:03half a month. But not even a full day
11:05passed before she was threatening me
11:07again. Afraid I'd lose my temper if I
11:09called. I texted back, "Didn't you say
11:11last night I could shoot today? My
11:12scenes today won't rap until after 10
11:14p.m. Su Yaming was in the middle of a
11:16meeting. No one in the room escaped her
11:18scolding. Everyone had their heads down,
11:21afraid to even move. Not a single person
11:24dared speak up. They could all feel the
11:26fury radiating off her. The tension in
11:28the room was suffocating.
11:30When I sent the message, the office was
11:33dead
11:35silent. Su Yaming picked up the phone
11:37and glanced at it. The next second, she
11:40slammed it onto the conference table.
11:42Everyone's heart skipped a beat with the
11:44sound. Su Yaming's expression turned
11:46even
11:47colder. The company pays you not to sit
11:51around and do nothing. Look at this. Is
11:54this the kind of garbage you bring me?
11:56Is it even presentable? A 30-inute
11:58meeting was dragged out to over an hour.
12:02I sent a message, no reply, I called.
12:04She hung up on me. Glancing at the time
12:07again. I had no choice but to call a car
12:09and rush home. When I got home, Su
12:13Yaming wasn't there. I called her and
12:15she coldly hung up without hesitation. I
12:18gritted my teeth and messaged her. I'm
12:20home. When are you coming back? Su
12:23Yaming replied, "Since you're home,
12:25cook. I want braze beef and boiled fish
12:28slices. I was already fuming inside. By
12:31the time I finished cooking, Su Yaming
12:33finally came home. I couldn't hold back
12:35my anger. Don't you think? You've gone
12:37too far. You can torture me. But the
12:40crew didn't do anything
12:42wrong. Last time when I asked you to
12:45postpone your meeting, you said that the
12:47lives of your employees were more
12:48important than mine. And now you're
12:50letting everyone be delayed because of
12:52me. Do their lives no longer
12:55matter? It was the first time Suyaming
12:58saw me truly angry without holding back.
13:00All this just to film a scene with that
13:02woman. Su Yaming looked at me, her gaze
13:04unreadable. You're mad over this? What
13:07if I forbid you from acting again? My
13:10fist clenched. I'd had enough. Then you
13:12might as well throw me in jail. The air
13:15instantly froze. Su Yamin's cold, sharp
13:18gaze was slowly frosting over in
13:21silence. I figured Su Yaming must be
13:24planning to take down the Gu family
13:26right now. I bet she wouldn't risk
13:27turning on them just yet. In the silent
13:30standoff, the air seemed to spark with
13:33tension until I saw Su Yaming slowly
13:35pull out her phone. Right in front of
13:38me, she opened the dialer and began
13:40entering the police number. Seeing that
13:42Su Yaming was really going to call, I
13:44panicked. I grabbed her hand and smiled.
13:47I was just joking. I'll listen to you.
13:49Whatever you say. Su Yamin looked at my
13:52cowardly and fawning act as if she'd
13:54heard the coldest joke in the world. You
13:56already forgot what I said yesterday.
13:59Seeing my innocent and wronged
14:00expression, Su Yaming curled her lips
14:03again coldly. She picked up her phone
14:05and showed me a photo. This is what you
14:08call not forgetting. I took a look. It
14:11was a photo of me and Morang Yan's
14:13kissing scene on set. Rows of ellipses
14:15rushed through my chest.
14:18So, this woman lost her mind over a
14:20photo. Did she make me come home because
14:22I didn't take her words
14:24seriously? Or did she just want to act
14:26out a jealous scene? But for now, I
14:29could only explain. There was no real
14:32kiss. There were fingers in between.
14:34That's how they shoot scenes. I looked
14:35at Su Yaming, stepped forward, and
14:38hugged her waist. We filmed a lot of
14:40emotional scenes today. Morangian taught
14:42me some eye acting techniques. Even if
14:44you allowed kissing scenes, I wouldn't
14:46do them. The only person I want to kiss
14:48is you. Su Yamin looked at me with no
14:50trace of fake smiles, just a hint of
14:52genuine affection in her eyes. The
14:54coldness in her gaze
14:57faded. Her eyes now tinged with emotion.
14:59She retracted her frosty look. The next
15:02second, my lips landed on hers. I had
15:05barely kissed her twice before Su Yaming
15:08took control instead. For a moment, I
15:10felt truly
15:12miserable. But in the next second, Su
15:14Yaming pushed me away. I looked at her
15:16uncomfortable expression and confirmed
15:19she was still disgusted by me. I
15:21continued, "I thought you were different
15:23from before, that maybe you like me a
15:25little, but turns out you still hate me
15:28this much. I put on a hurt, heartbroken
15:31expression." After saying that, I turned
15:33to leave, but Su Yaming suddenly pulled
15:36me back and kissed me again. I was
15:39stunned by her sudden intensity. What's
15:42going on? Clearly disgusted. Why did she
15:45still kiss me voluntarily? This time, Su
15:47Yaming let go after just a few kisses.
15:49She looked at me coldly and said, "Juhe
15:52Homing, as long as you behave, I can try
15:55to like you." I was a bit confused.
15:57"Really?" Su Yaming didn't say more and
16:00walked toward the dining table. I looked
16:02at Su Yaming's back and ran through the
16:05plot like a
16:06brainstorm. Could it be that the plot to
16:08destroy the Gu family is accelerating?
16:10Is Su Yaming starting to be nice to me?
16:13to make me think she's falling in love.
16:15After thinking for a moment, I followed
16:17her since Su Yaming wants to act with
16:19me. Then I'll play along. Then I serve
16:21Su Yaming food and dishes, trying to act
16:25attentive in front of her. Su Yaming
16:28slightly frowned. I quickly asked with
16:30concern. What's wrong? Does it taste
16:32bad? She added a piece of beef into her
16:34mouth and said, "Tastes just as good as
16:36before." I looked at Su Yamin again. She
16:39just stared at me without speaking. You
16:41don't like this? I took the beef I had
16:44added to her bowl and put it into my
16:46own. Then gave her another dish. Try
16:48this
16:49instead. Su Yamin finally spoke. Don't
16:52smile at me like that. She could tell my
16:54smile was to fake. I've always smiled
16:57like this before and she never said
16:59anything, but now she's making demands.
17:01Seems like she really wants me to
17:03believe she's starting to like me. She
17:06wants me to fall for her, too. I looked
17:08at her again and again. Finally, Su
17:11Yaming couldn't help but ask, "What? Do
17:13you have a problem with my request?" I
17:15withdrew my smile now. Just think you
17:18look really good while
17:20eating. Su Yaming gave me a glance and
17:22then lowered her head to keep eating.
17:24She silently allowed me to watch. I
17:26confirmed my guess. I plan to abandon my
17:29usual rogue style of acting and
17:31cooperate with Su Yamin's affectionate
17:33gaze. After the meal, I felt my acting
17:36skills were running out. Su Yaming as
17:38the female lead in the novel. She's
17:40famously hard to fool. Luckily, after
17:43the meal, Su Yaming didn't make things
17:45harder for me. After cleaning up, I went
17:48back to my room and messaged the orphan.
17:50I asked about the company's status and
17:52reminded her again to beware of Su
17:53Yaming. As soon as I laid down and
17:56picked up my phone, I saw a message from
17:58Su Yaming. I was quite surprised. I got
18:02up and went to her room. In the past,
18:04whenever I saw her, I would express my
18:06desire for her without hiding it. But
18:09now, I stood cautiously by the bed,
18:11sneaking glances at Su Yaming without
18:13saying anything. Looking both hopeful
18:16and reserved. Su Yamin<unk>s eyes grew
18:19intense. She reached out and pulled me
18:21onto the bed. Then came a wave of
18:23overwhelming
18:24kisses. After a while, Su Yaming pulled
18:27away, breathing heavily. I saw the
18:30turbulent emotion in her eyes. That was
18:33disgust toward me. She said nothing and
18:35I said nothing either. I just played
18:38dumb and looked at her. We just stared
18:39at each other quietly like that. The
18:41longer we looked, the harder it was for
18:43me to resist Su Yamin<unk>s gaze. For a
18:46moment, I felt like there was affection
18:49in her eyes. Su Yaming recovered and
18:51leaned in to kiss me again. This
18:54repeated a few times before Su Yaming
18:56finally let me go. You can leave now. Is
18:59this the act of trying to like me?
19:01kissing but not letting me touch. So,
19:04she doesn't like me yet. I gave Su Yamin
19:06a hurt look like I was saddened by not
19:09receiving her love. Then, under her dim
19:11and unreadable gaze, I got up and left.
19:14Around 4 or 5 the next morning. Since it
19:17was hard to call a cab, I decided to
19:18drive myself. Before leaving, I sent Su
19:22Yaming a message saying I was going to
19:24the set. I made you some porridge and
19:26left it in the kitchen. Don't forget to
19:28eat when you wake up. Su Yaming replied,
19:31who said you could go act? As soon as I
19:33arrived, I saw Su Yamin<unk>s message. I
19:36couldn't help but curse. But in the end,
19:38the woman still lowered her head and
19:40replied, "Didn't you say last night you
19:42try to like me? Support my work. Isn't
19:45that the first step to trying to like
19:46me?" Su Yaming replied, "I said that on
19:50the condition that you behave. Haven't I
19:52behaved enough? I wanted to stay so
19:54badly last night, but you told me to
19:56leave and I left because you said you
19:58try to like me. I took it seriously. I'm
20:01willing to wait. Su Yaming thought for a
20:03moment and replied again. You can act,
20:05but you must come home at night. She
20:07finally gave in. I tolerated Su
20:10Yamin<unk>s excessive request. During
20:12lunch, I didn't forget to send Su Yamin
20:15a message. I miss you. Still, there was
20:18no reply. Today, Fu Yamin didn't set a
20:21return time for me. I finished shooting
20:23around 6:00 p.m. I sent her a message.
20:25I'm done for the day. Coming back now.
20:28By the time I got home, it was past 8:00
20:31p.m. I knocked on Su Yamin's door and
20:34greeted her. I'm back. Su Yaming looked
20:37at me and said, "Come here." I walked
20:39over to her. The next second, Suyaming
20:42pulled me down onto the big bed. Our
20:45eyes met just as I looked at her. Were
20:47you waiting for me? Su Yaming looked at
20:50me but didn't respond. Then her soft
20:52kiss fell upon me just as I couldn't
20:55handle her
20:56advances. Su Yaming pushed me away again
20:59just like last night. Enduring too much.
21:01She kissed me again and again in
21:03disgust. Then she went to take a shower.
21:05She clearly dislikes me yet she
21:07deliberately teases me like this making
21:10me expect more from her. No wonder she's
21:12the female lead in the book. She really
21:13knows how to mess with people's hearts.
21:15I almost want to applaud her. I was
21:17completely exhausted. I went back to my
21:19room and fell asleep. The next morning,
21:21I got up early and headed to the set
21:23again. Just the round trip every day
21:25takes over for hours on the road. And
21:27there's nothing else to do when I go
21:28back. Just Su Yaming pulling me in for
21:31some kissing scenes to keep the act
21:33going. The first drama is almost done
21:36shooting. Then comes promotions and
21:38filming for the next project. Plus, I
21:41have to write a new script. I don't have
21:42enough time at all. I don't want to be a
21:44tool anymore. During the break, I looked
21:47at Morang Yan and asked, "How do I treat
21:50you?" Morangian looked at me and said,
21:52"Brother, just say what you need." I
21:54took the water she handed me and had a
21:56sip. It really wasn't in vain. Caring
21:58for her around for in the afternoon. I
22:01sent Su Yamin a message heading back
22:03now. I'll be back a bit earlier tonight.
22:06What do you want to eat? I'll cook for
22:07you. Su Yaming replied, "Anything is
22:10fine." She actually didn't request
22:12anything specific. Her act of trying to
22:14like me is really convincing. I can't
22:16lose. I have to act even better than
22:18her. I'll make you your favorite braised
22:20pork belly and some steamed fish, too.
22:23Su Yaming smiled and asked if I needed
22:26anything. No, I've just been too busy
22:28these days to cook for you. Now that I
22:31finally have time, I want to make it all
22:34for you. Around 5:00, Su Yamin's phone
22:37kept ringing. She picked it up and
22:39glanced at it. Our close friends group
22:41chat had pushed a trending topic again.
22:43Guu Hayoming was in a car accident. Su
22:45Yaming clicked on the trending post. It
22:47was about me. That red sports car had
22:49crashed into a bridge. The front bumper
22:52had been completely smashed off. I
22:54wasn't visible in the Hot Topic post and
22:56it didn't say anything about my
22:57condition. Su Yaming gripped her phone
22:59tightly. She quickly tried to call me,
23:02but all she got was the same response.
23:04The number you are calling is currently
23:06busy. Su Yaming, anxious, turned around
23:09and rushed out. She headed outside. I
23:11was lying on a hospital bed, eating
23:13cherries that Morangan had peeled from
23:15me and answering my mother's call. Mom,
23:19I'm fine. It's just some minor scrapes.
23:21You don't need to come over. Su Yaming
23:23got into the car. When she called me for
23:26the 10th time, the call finally
23:28connected. But what Su Yaming heard was
23:30a woman's voice. Her brows instantly
23:33furrowed. Where's Juu? Hioming Mang Yan
23:37watching me enjoy the cherries with
23:38great appetite. Sigh. He's still
23:41unconscious. Su Yaminian<unk>s grip on
23:43the phone tightened. Where is he? Why do
23:46you want the address? Do you even care
23:48if he lives or dies? If you had even a
23:50bit of concern for him, he wouldn't have
23:53been running back and forth every day
23:54between filming just for you and then
23:56had this car accident. While eating, I
23:59gave Morang Yian a thumbs up. After she
24:02finished the call, I complimented, "You
24:04really know how to pile it on."
24:06Morangian handed the phone back to me.
24:08"I'm an actress. This kind of scene is
24:11nothing. But why are you doing this?
24:13Aren't you to married? Doesn't she care
24:15about you two? Why not just talk to her
24:18directly? Why risk putting on a
24:20performance like this?" I handed the
24:22bowl of cherries in my hand to Morang
24:24Yan. You don't need to know. When Su
24:27Yamin rushed to the hospital, the room
24:29was crowded with people. I sat leaning
24:31against the headboard, showing everyone
24:34that I was fine. I told you I'm fine. I
24:36just fainted from fright. Really? I'm
24:38okay. Mom had been worried the entire
24:40way. Once she confirmed I was fine, her
24:42eyes turned red. You scared me to death.
24:45How could you crash into a bridge like
24:47that? Have you been working to hard
24:49filming lately? We're not short on money
24:51at home. How about you stop filming this
24:54drama? Look at how skinny you've gotten
24:56lately. All I was thinking about was how
24:58to deal with Su Yaming. I didn't expect
25:00it would alarm the whole family. Seeing
25:02how worried they were, I felt a little
25:04guilty. Mom, I'm serious about acting. I
25:08want to have my own career, too. I want
25:10others to look at me with new eyes. I
25:12know you're worried about me. I promise
25:14that from now on. Nothing like this will
25:16ever happen again. Mom wanted to say
25:18more, but dad stepped forward and
25:20comforted me. Son, it's not easy to find
25:23something you love. Don't make things
25:25harder for Homing. A little hardship is
25:28good for young people. Morang Yin saw Su
25:30Yanding at the door. She quickly gave a
25:33light cough. I instinctively looked
25:35over. When I saw Su Yamin, I immediately
25:38said, "Okay, you can all go home now. My
25:40wife is here. She can stay with me by
25:43herself." Morang Yin saw Su Yaming
25:45walking and quickly said, "Uncle Annie."
25:49Brother Hyoming got in the accident
25:51because he rushed back to see President
25:52Sue. You have to do something. Brother
25:54Haing can't keep running around every
25:57day for his wife without caring about
25:59his own health. It's too much for his
26:01body to handle. Dad's expression
26:04instantly darkened. Is this true? I
26:07spoke up to explain. I just wanted to
26:09balance family and work. Mom looked at
26:12Su Yamine who had come closer and said,
26:15this is too exhausting for you. Now that
26:17Yamin is here, we'll head back first.
26:20Yamin talk some sense into him. This
26:22running back and forth every day is just
26:25a tiring. He won't listen to us, but
26:28he'll listen to you. The orphan didn't
26:31say a word the whole time. Just stood
26:33watching from the side. I leaned back
26:35and looked at Su Yaming, her eyes full
26:37of me. Suddenly, it hit me. The old me
26:40could see right through her with a
26:41glance. But now, she can't read me. She
26:44can't tell which of my words are true
26:46and which are fake. But when I said I
26:48didn't love Su Yaming, she believed it.
26:50I looked at Su Yaming. my eyes full of
26:52guilt. I'm sorry. I said I'd cook
26:55something delicious for you. But Su
26:56Yaming stood by the bed, looking at me
26:59in silence. Her gaze deep and
27:01unreadable. I broke the silence and
27:03spoke up. Are you angry? If you're
27:06really angry, I'll go cook for you right
27:08now. Su Yaming still didn't say a word.
27:11Just silently looked at me until I was
27:13about to get up to do something. Su
27:15Yaming finally reacted and pushed me
27:17back onto the bed. She stared at me
27:19without speaking. Are you worried about
27:22me? But I'm really okay. Only then did
27:25Su Yaming slowly speak up. Are you
27:27hungry? I shook my head. She looked at
27:29my thinner face. Her voice now tinged
27:33with concern. Even if you're not hungry,
27:36you still need to eat. I wasn't used to
27:38it at all. Hopeful yet cautious at the
27:40same time. Then I want to eat something
27:42you cook. After saying it, I almost gave
27:45myself a thumbs up. I wanted to see how
27:47Su Yaming would respond. She looked at
27:50me for a long time without saying a
27:52word, clearly hesitating. Sure enough,
27:55she eventually replied, "We can only
27:57order takeout." My eyes dimmed with
27:59disappointment. "Then I'll eat whatever
28:01you order." Her voice softened a bit.
28:04"Next time we're home, I'll cook for
28:06you." I reacted a bit late, surprised.
28:09"Really?" Su Yami nodded
28:12slightly. "Kiss me and I'll mean it." I
28:15praised her acting in my heart. She
28:18really played the part of liking me
28:19without a flaw. Not to be outdone, I
28:22responded right away, gave her a kiss,
28:25and then another one, fully acting out
28:27my happiness. When I was alive, I was so
28:30poor, I didn't even experience love. I
28:32could only drool over women in videos.
28:35Now that I've entered a book, I have the
28:37wealth to own a whole forest. Yet, I'm
28:39trapped by a marriage contract. The only
28:41person I can kiss is Su Yaming, and I
28:44can only kiss her. I'm not even allowed
28:46to touch her. This is truly the most
28:48tragic transmigration ever, but at least
28:50the marriage will end this year. Once
28:52we're divorced, I'll throw myself into
28:54the embrace of the forest every single
28:56night. Su Yamin had no idea what kind of
28:59dream I was having. She pulled out her
29:01phone to order food from me. She knew
29:03nothing about me, so of course, she
29:05didn't know what I like to eat. She
29:07could only rely on her memory from last
29:08time at the Gu family dinner and ordered
29:10the dishes I ate the most of. After
29:13ordering, she saw me staring blankly at
29:15her. Su Yaming hesitated. What are you
29:18thinking about? I snapped out of my
29:20dream and quickly said, "I'm just
29:22thinking. You're suddenly so nice to me.
29:24Am I dreaming?" Su Yamin<unk>s gaze
29:26shifted slightly. Then she reached out
29:28and pinched my cheek. "Does it hurt?" I
29:30gasped. "Yes, it hurts." Su Yaming
29:33chuckled. "Then it's real." "I wasn't
29:36actually injured." After we ate, I went
29:39back to the hotel with Su Yamin. I
29:41wasn't worried at all about sharing a
29:43room with Su Yamin. After taking a
29:46shower, I obediently slept on the sofa
29:48just like last time. I browsed my phone
29:51and saw a trending post saying Su Yaming
29:54ran five red lights from me. I clicked
29:56in and saw it was indeed her car. The
30:00car was speeding, but there was no
30:02evidence of running red lights. Typical
30:04clickbait headline. The comment section
30:06was full of people praising our true
30:08love. Of course, I didn't believe Su
30:11Yaming like me. I even suspected she
30:13bought that trending topic herself.
30:15After her shower, Su Yaming came out and
30:18saw me lying on the sofa. She came over
30:21and pulled me onto the bed. Then came
30:23another deep kiss. After it ended, Su
30:25Yaming suddenly said, "Sleep in the bed
30:27tonight." I knew she would be disgusted
30:29if she touched me. So, I behaved and did
30:32nothing. Just quietly watched Su Yaming
30:35give me the blanket. When she turned off
30:37the light, the room instantly fell into
30:39darkness. I finally didn't have to act
30:42anymore. I turned over and slept with my
30:44back to Su Yaming. Lying on the bed, Su
30:47Yaming looked at my turn back, still
30:49thinking about the look of anticipation
30:50in my eyes before she turned off the
30:52lights. Just as I was getting sleepy, a
30:54woman pressed up against me, an airtight
30:57closeness. I could even feel Suyaming's
30:59body
31:00temperature. We even had to act before
31:02falling asleep. As if we had long
31:04anticipated it, I turned over to respond
31:07to her. I felt that Suian Bing<unk>s
31:09body obviously tensed up, but she still
31:12wrapped her arm around my waist. Like a
31:14normal couple, the two of us
31:16kissed. In the dark, the senses were
31:19heightened and transformed. I got the
31:21illusion that Su Yamine loved me. Just
31:24when I was itching for
31:26more, Su Yaming, with ragged breath,
31:29grabbed my restless hand. I'm going to
31:31the bathroom. You sleep first, Sue.
31:34Yaming went to the bathroom. I knew she
31:36was too disgusted to handle it. I felt
31:39exhausted. Clearly disgusted by my
31:42touch. Yet, she still had to touch me
31:44like a normal man, not like a monk.
31:46Every time she seduced me, she turned on
31:48me. Did she ever consider my feelings?
31:51When I fell asleep, Su Yaming still
31:53hadn't come out. In the morning, I was
31:55vaguely awakened by Su Yamin<unk>s kiss.
31:57I opened my sleepy eyes and looked at
32:00her. She was already fully dressed. I'm
32:03leaving. Okay. Be careful on the road.
32:05drive slowly. I was awake and couldn't
32:08sleep again. So, I got up and typed
32:10until it was time to leave. I asked
32:12Morang to have breakfast. How was it?
32:14Did you get the result you wanted? I
32:17smiled and replied to Morang Yan. You
32:19guess me getting married yesterday was
32:21like helping her. My mom even asked Su
32:24Yaming to persuade me not to travel back
32:26and forth, but Su Yamin didn't say a
32:28word about it. I checked the time. While
32:30eating, I messaged her, "Have you
32:33arrived?" Su Yamin replied quickly. Just
32:35arrived. I continued pretending to be a
32:38caring boyfriend. Have breakfast? No,
32:41just a simple to character answer. One
32:43immediately ordered breakfast for Su
32:45Yaming. Bought it for you. Remember to
32:48eat later. After doing all this, I
32:50tentatively sent her a message. I'll try
32:53to come back earlier tonight to make up
32:55for the feast I missed last night. Su
32:58Yaming simply replied, "Okay, that
33:00caught me off guard. What's going on?
33:02Wasn't she pretending to love me? Why
33:04stop pretending now? I got so mad I
33:07threw my phone
33:08aside. Anyway, I now have plenty of
33:11excuses. I definitely won't go back
33:13again. Today's scenes were wrapping
33:16up. Filming went extremely smoothly. At
33:20the same time, at Sushi's magazine shoot
33:22for his
33:23artist, Lu Jinian kept getting nitpicked
33:26by the photographer. Although Su Yaming
33:28made headlines for running a red light
33:30from me, which kept her up all night,
33:32work is still work. He still stayed
33:35focused and felt he was doing fine. But
33:38the photographer just wasn't satisfied.
33:41Eventually, he simply stopped. Lu
33:43Jinian, go take a break and find your
33:45rhythm. Don't waste everyone's time
33:47here. Sukun, come here. Let's shoot
33:50yours first. Lu Jinian kept thinking
33:52about Su Yaming. His whole state was
33:55off. He pulled out his phone to ask Su
33:57Yaming something, then saw a photo of Su
34:00Yaming waiting for me on
34:02set. No matter where my gaze landed, Su
34:06Yaming's eyes were always on me. Lu Jin
34:09and couldn't help but call Su Yaming.
34:12Meanwhile, I was in a bad mood. That
34:15afternoon, Su Yaming came to the set
34:17full of
34:18worries. Everyone envied me, but no one
34:21knew how annoyed I was. Today marked the
34:24end of our first scene. So at noon, I
34:26had already told my crew that a few
34:29actors from the team would have a dinner
34:31gathering to celebrate tonight. But in
34:33the afternoon, Su Yaming came and I had
34:36to bring her along. I also had to kiss
34:38her in front of everyone to maintain the
34:41image that I loved her. As for her
34:43better attitude toward me and making the
34:44Gu family drop their guard, that was
34:47glossed over. Never thought I'd end up
34:49going through all of this personally.
34:52These past few days trending topics and
34:54my behavior, it's enough to show that
34:56our gu family has no defenses left
34:58against Su Yaming and yet she still
35:01keeps acting. Could it be the orphan
35:03side is blocking things? Did Su Yaming
35:06fail to accomplish something? Thinking
35:07that way, I didn't know whether to feel
35:10happy or angry. I picked up my glass and
35:12took another sip. The next second, I saw
35:14Su Yaming looking at me. What is she
35:17looking at me for now? Does she want
35:19something again? I didn't want to think
35:21too much. Just pick some food for Su
35:23Yaming. At that moment, Su Yaming<unk>s
35:26phone rang. When she took it out to
35:28look. I glanced over and saw it was Lu
35:31Jinian. The male lead was calling. Su
35:34Yaming got up to take the call outside.
35:36I instantly felt the air become fresher.
35:39Everyone visibly relaxed, too. 2 minutes
35:42later, when Su Yaming returned to the
35:44room, she saw everyone clinking glasses.
35:47The room was full of laughter and cheer.
35:49As soon as she came in, the atmosphere
35:52changed instantly. Everyone's smiles
35:54faded away. I asked very considerately,
35:56"Is something
35:58wrong? If you're busy, go take care of
36:00it." Su Yaming sat down next to me and
36:03looked at me, her eyes dark and
36:04unreadable. Do you really want me to
36:06leave? I grabbed Su Yamin<unk>s hand.
36:09How could I? I just don't want you to
36:11feel pressured by me. If there's
36:13something, go handle it. I'll wait for
36:15you. Su Yamin's expression remained
36:17cold. I'm fine. Lu Jinnian just made a
36:21simple phone call. In my heart, I
36:23cursed. This male lead is such a
36:25weakling. I don't know if it was from
36:27being upset, but the discomfort in my
36:29abdomen earlier now turned into a
36:31tearing pain. I couldn't help but frown
36:34and rub it. Suit yaming lean over.
36:36What's wrong with your stomach? Nothing.
36:39Maybe I just over ate. It wasn't until
36:41we got back to the hotel that the pain
36:43in my abdomen became more frequent. I
36:45finally felt that something was wrong.
36:47Su Yaming saw me coming out of the
36:49bathroom. My face was pale, holding my
36:51stomach. I walked as if a gust could
36:53knock me over. What's wrong? Feeling
36:55unwell. Do you need to go to the
36:57hospital? No, just diarrhea. I lay on
37:00the bed, tossing and turning in pain. Su
37:03Yaming pressed up against me from
37:05behind. I was in too much pain to care
37:07about entertaining her. I couldn't hold
37:10my temper anymore. Su Yaming, I'm dying
37:13here. I'm not in the mood to love you
37:15right now. Leave me alone. Su Yaming
37:17ignored my tantrum and moved even closer
37:20to me. I was about to open my mouth when
37:23her cold voice came. Don't move. Damn
37:26this woman. Still trying to seduce me at
37:29a time like this. I was about to curse
37:31her out when her warm hand landed on my
37:34abs and gently rubbed. I froze there. My
37:38anger started to melt away. Su Yaming
37:41tirelessly kept massaging
37:43me. I didn't even know how to describe
37:45my
37:46emotions. Feeling better, I gave a faint
37:49mm but didn't feel like chatting with
37:51her. I wasn't sure if it was because of
37:54her massage, but the pain seemed to ease
37:56a little. Though I could clearly feel Su
38:00Yamin's body reacting more and more
38:02repulsively, she was still disgusted by
38:04touching me. Eventually, Su Yaming
38:06couldn't take it anymore. She got up and
38:09went to the bathroom. It wasn't until
38:11someone knocked on the door that Su
38:13Yaming came out of the bathroom.
38:15Clearly, she had washed her hands and
38:17face. Her face still looked a little
38:19unpleasant. For the first time, I felt
38:22that Su Yaming really went all out for
38:24her goal. She was truly committed,
38:26working harder than most people would.
38:28That night, I tossed and turned the
38:30whole time. By morning, the pain in my
38:32stomach had finally eased. Luckily,
38:35filming had wrapped yesterday, so I had
38:37to days off. I went to the bathroom and
38:39when I came back, I started to feel
38:41sleepy. But Su Yaming called me to wake
38:43up and leave with her. I couldn't even
38:45open my eyes. I didn't want to go
38:47anywhere. I just wanted to sleep. Su
38:50Yaming let go of me and I turn over. In
38:53my days sleep, I felt like I was being
38:56carried by several people, but I just
38:58couldn't open my eyes. When I finally
39:00woke up, I found myself lying on a bed
39:03in Su Yaming's company lounge. After
39:06using the bathroom, I saw Su Yaming
39:09cooking in the kitchen. There was the
39:11smell of chicken soup. She was making me
39:13a meal. It wasn't just for show. It was
39:16real. I looked at her in disbelief. Su
39:19Yaming saw me. Her tone softened
39:21slightly. Come over here. I walked over.
39:26Su Yamin looked at me. Does your stomach
39:28still hurt? Growing up, I've always
39:30handled sickness on my own. It's rare to
39:33be cared for by someone, but it happens
39:35to be someone who's going to ruin my
39:37family. I approached her with mixed
39:39feelings. Su Yaming kept acting along
39:42with me. It's much better. Thank you. We
39:44hugged a bit and I felt Su Yaming start
39:46to react with disgust again. So, I let
39:49her go. Su Yaming glanced at me. That
39:52glance seemed to carry thousands of
39:54emotions. I didn't understand and didn't
39:56want to overthink. Holding my stomach, I
39:58excused myself. I'll go lie down for a
40:00bit. I had just laid down, picked up my
40:02phone. After replying to a message, I
40:05scrolled through the news and stumbled
40:07upon some entertainment gossip. Rising
40:09male star Chin Ming was mentioned and
40:11celebrity photographer Lu Yan as well.
40:14One was Lu Jinian's competitor.
40:17The other was Lu Jinian's photographer.
40:20Looks like that last call was about
40:22dealing with these two. Su Yaming cares
40:25so much about Lu Jinian, yet still
40:27pretends in front of me. Just shows how
40:29determined she is to bring down the Gu.
40:32When Su Yaming came in with the food, I
40:35couldn't help but look at her a bit
40:36longer. Su Yaming handed me a bowl of
40:39chicken soup. Drink the soup first. I
40:42took it and had a sip. I looked at her
40:44in surprise. I didn't expect her cooking
40:46to be this good. Su Yamin stood nearby,
40:49watching me intently. How does it taste?
40:52I took another sip and looked at her.
40:54It's delicious. The best chicken soup
40:56I've ever had. You're taking such good
40:58care of me. Won't it interfere with your
41:00work? No, she said it won't. Just during
41:04that meal, Su Yamin took several phone
41:07calls. Once I finished eating and laid
41:09down, she went to work. I hadn't brought
41:12my laptop back. So, I lay in bed in the
41:14afternoon typing on my phone. I had my
41:16back to the door. Su Yaming walked in
41:19and saw me typing on my
41:21phone. She frowned and asked, "Who are
41:24you chatting with?" Hearing her voice, I
41:27quickly turned off the screen, then
41:29turned to look at Su Yaming and saw that
41:31her expression was cold. "My mom, she
41:34always worries about me." Su Yaming
41:36stepped closer and looked at me. Her
41:38expression still seemed unhappy. I
41:40quickly grabbed her hand. Are you done
41:42with work? Su Yaming looked at me
41:44holding her hand and her expressions
41:47softened a bit. No, just came in to
41:49check on you. Then Su Yaming bent down
41:51and kissed me. Just a gentle kiss. Then
41:54she pulled away. Don't play on your
41:56phone. Get some proper rest. Mm. Go
41:59ahead and work. Don't worry about me. If
42:01you need anything, call me. Lately, Su
42:04Yamin has been getting closer and closer
42:06to me. even coming in during breaks at
42:08work to check on
42:09me. If I didn't know what her real
42:12motive was, I I might have fallen for
42:15her fake
42:16tenderness. A wolf in sheep's clothing
42:18is truly
42:19terrifying. She triggered me instantly
42:22lit a fire under me. I started writing
42:25the script with more energy. When Su
42:27Yaming came back and after finishing
42:29work, she saw me still typing on my
42:31phone. Her face instantly turned as cold
42:34as her voice. Who are you chatting with
42:36this time? I'm writing a script myself,
42:39I hadn't told anyone, of course, and I
42:41certainly couldn't tell Su Yaming.
42:43Seeing her interrogating me like this, I
42:46made up another lie. I wasn't chatting,
42:48just browsing online out of boredom. I
42:50saw some rumors saying you and Lu Jin Lu
42:53Jinnian had something going on. I wanted
42:55to argue with them, but I was afraid
42:57people would laugh at what I say. After
42:59I finished, I saw the anger in Su
43:01Yamin's expression soften. She obviously
43:04felt guilty, but she quickly composed
43:07herself again. If you're bored, why not
43:10come to me? I looked at Sue Yaming with
43:12humble affection. I was afraid to bother
43:14you. You used to hate it when I came to
43:16your office. In other words, now I
43:19didn't dare disturb her. Even commenting
43:22online required caution. So careful and
43:24cautious. All because I feared she'd be
43:26annoyed. With such emotional acting, I
43:29felt like I could win an award. But I
43:31didn't expect Su Yaming to act even
43:32better. She kissed me with teary eyes.
43:35In that days, she actually seemed a
43:37little sincere. I'm sorry. It won't
43:40happen again. Then she let go like
43:42nothing happened and looked at me as if
43:44there was only me in her eyes. You've
43:46been lying around all day. Come with me
43:48somewhere tonight. Su Yaming brought me
43:50to a banquet hall in a five-star hotel.
43:53It was the Sue group's anniversary
43:55gala. Almost all their business partners
43:58were there. When they saw us, they all
44:01came to greet us. Su Yamin had brought
44:03me all dressed up. We were even wearing
44:05matching formal outfits. Everyone in
44:08business is sharp, no fool. All the
44:10jokes that had been going around were
44:12forgotten. One by one, they praised us
44:15as the perfect couple. Lu Jinian had
44:17arrived early and had been keeping an
44:19eye out for Su Yaming. He wanted to
44:21thank her once she arrived, for standing
44:23up for him. But when he saw Su Yaming
44:26walk in with me and holding my hand,
44:28wearing matching outfits, we instantly
44:30became the center of attention. Hearing
44:32everyone saying how well matched we
44:34were, watching Su Yaming socializing yet
44:37still looking after me. It felt like a
44:39thousand arrows piercing my heart. Then
44:41Lu Jinnian saw someone coming to toast
44:43us. Su Yami knew I had an upset stomach,
44:47so she turned them down from me, saying
44:49I wasn't fit to drink. A while later, an
44:52assistant brought over a warm drink.
44:54There were endless drinks available at
44:56the event. Yet, Su Yaming bought me a
44:58hot drink from outside. Lu Jinian's
45:01heart achd like a knife. If Su Yaming
45:03cared so much about Guu Hioming, then
45:05why stand up for me? I looked at the
45:08warm drink in my hand and couldn't help
45:10but glance at Su Yaming. Even real
45:12couples aren't this thoughtful. Is there
45:14really a need to act this deep? Su
45:16Yaming squeezed my hand and looked at
45:19me. What is it? I continued playing
45:21along. You're suddenly being so nice to
45:23me. It's like I don't even know you
45:25anymore. It's kind of scary. Su Yaming
45:28blinked and asked. Scary? Why? I looked
45:31at her with deep affection. I'm scared
45:33that once I get used to the sweetness,
45:35one day you'll suddenly go back to how
45:36you were. Su Yaming played along
45:38perfectly. She even kissed me on the
45:40cheek in front of everyone. Just then,
45:43Linshin Yao entered and reminded, "Watch
45:46your image." Only then did Su Yam Being
45:49let me go when Mumu crossed her arms and
45:51muttered, "Who was it last time that
45:54kept saying they didn't like Juing? And
45:56now here you are showing off your love
45:58in public just days later. Looks like
46:01there's no saving them." I quickly
46:02stepped forward and smiled. You guys
46:05keep chatting. I'm going to the restroom
46:07after I left. When Mumu wouldn't let it
46:09go. Didn't you say you didn't like her?
46:12Yaming. Su Yammen's hand tightened. She
46:15still feels sick after touching Hyoming.
46:17There's no way she'd like him. She's
46:19only acting for revenge against Jiu
46:21Hyoming. When I came out of the
46:23restroom, I saw Lujin walking up to Su
46:26Yaming. I gave them a chance at what I
46:29lost and sat in a corner seat to rest.
46:32Su Yamin's gaze cut through the moving
46:35crowd and saw me sitting in the corner.
46:39Su Yamin put distance between herself
46:41and Lu Jinian and started walking toward
46:43me. Lu Jinian felt like his heart had
46:45just been hollowed out. He had loved Su
46:47Yamin for seven years and thought Su
46:49Yaming had feelings for him too. He
46:52never expected that now. Su Yaming
46:55didn't even want to say one more word to
46:56him. He turned around and stumbled out.
46:59He didn't even know how he made it
47:00outside. When he finally came to, he saw
47:03a car speeding straight toward him. The
47:06blinding headlights made it impossible
47:08to see and froze him in place. The next
47:11second, Lujinian was hit and thrown by
47:13the car. Pain instantly surged through
47:15his whole body. Before losing
47:17consciousness, he saw some words appear
47:19in his mind. Each word was vividly
47:22clear. Lu Jin and saw his name and his
47:26entire life. Su Yamin walked up to me
47:29tired. I'm fine, just resting. Mom, Su
47:33Yaming took my hand. Let's go home then.
47:36On the car ride back to the hotel after
47:38the banquet, I was mindlessly scrolling
47:40on my phone when I suddenly came across
47:42a shocking trending topic. Lu Jinian car
47:45accident. I clicked into read and saw Lu
47:48Jinian lying in a pool of blood and
47:50being carried onto a stretcher in the
47:52photos. It looked serious. How could Lu
47:54Jinian get into a car accident? In the
47:57novel, Su Yaming ruined the Gu family,
47:59but Lu Jinian never had an accident. Did
48:02something happen between them earlier
48:03because of me? If something really
48:05happens to Lu
48:07Jinian, wouldn't that woman hate me even
48:10more? I couldn't help but glance at Su
48:12Yaming next to me. I was debating
48:14whether to tell her or let her see for
48:16herself when I noticed her phone was
48:19ringing. Su Yaming slowed the car and
48:21answered, "Hello, is this Lu Jinian's
48:24family? This is 11 hospital. Lu Jinian
48:27has been in a car accident. He's
48:28currently undergoing emergency
48:30treatment." Su Yamin ended the call
48:32looking at me. She said she needed to go
48:34to the hospital. Are you coming with me
48:36or going home to rest first? I pretended
48:38to be tired. I want to go home. If
48:41you've got something to do, go ahead.
48:43Drop me off at the intersection ahead.
48:45I'll just take a cab. Su Yaming glanced
48:48at me. Aren't you going to ask why I'm
48:50going to the hospital? Her asking that
48:52made me feel like not asking might seem
48:54careless. Su Yaming might die in a few
48:57years. How could she still have the
48:59heart to act with me? I glanced at her.
49:02You used to hate it when I asked about
49:04your business. I don't want to do what
49:06you
49:07dislike. Sue yaming finally went quiet
49:10and even acted guilty. She took me home
49:13before going to the hospital. I got
49:14home, showered, and lay on the bed. I
49:17felt completely relaxed. I didn't want
49:19to wait for Su Yaming, but not waiting
49:21would seem indifferent. She's about to
49:23start filming a new drama. At a time
49:25like this, it's better to make her feel
49:28I love her deeply. When Su Yaming got
49:31home, it was already past 10. She opened
49:34my door and saw I was still awake. She
49:36walked over and saw me watching short
49:39videos. Then she called my name. Still
49:42on your phone? I turned around, eyes
49:44lighting up with
49:45surprise. You're back. Su Yaming looked
49:48at me. It's so late. Why aren't you
49:51asleep yet? I was waiting for you. Her
49:54eyes shifted slightly. There was a clear
49:56look of surprise in her eyes. I
49:58pretended not to understand and asked
50:00what's wrong. The next second, Su Yaming
50:03kissed me with some heat in it. I knew
50:05how to make her stop
50:07faster. I reached out to touch her body.
50:10Su Yaming was aroused for a moment, but
50:12in the end, she pushed me away and went
50:15to the bathroom. When she came out of
50:17the bathroom, I was already asleep. Su
50:19Yaming looked at me, her eyes subdued
50:22for a long time, as if trapped in a fog,
50:25unable to come to her senses. When I
50:27woke up, it was already past 10. Su
50:31Yamin has already gone to the company.
50:33There's also a report on the news from a
50:34few years ago. The latest update after
50:37the car accident. Currently still in the
50:39ICU and not out of danger yet. Now, Su
50:41Yaming must be terribly heartbroken. She
50:44probably doesn't have time to bother me
50:46anymore. Thinking about having to film
50:47again tomorrow, I decided to go home
50:49today to visit my parents. I went
50:52shopping with my mother all day. Bought
50:54gifts for the whole family. When we got
50:56back, my mom couldn't wait to show the
50:58gifts I bought. She joyfully said her
51:01son used her own money to buy them. The
51:04orphan looked at me upon hearing that. I
51:07handed her the gift I got for her.
51:09There's also a receipt inside. If you
51:11don't like it, you can exchange it. The
51:13orphan looked at the necklace. She
51:16glanced at me, happily liking it. I
51:18asked about the company's current
51:20situation. After dinner, I took a nap.
51:23When I woke up, I received a message
51:25from Su Yamin. She asked me to come to
51:27the company. I reluctantly headed over.
51:30As soon as I opened the office door, Su
51:32Yamin looked up at
51:34me. I looked at her curiously. Why did
51:37she ask me to come to the company at
51:39this time? The next second, Su Yamin
51:41took out a beautifully wrapped gift box
51:43from under the desk. It was a rare
51:45addition of the game console. I like
51:47seeing the unis joy in my eyes. Su Yamin
51:50asked, "Do you like it?
51:53I blurted out yes almost
51:55instantly. Then I couldn't help but look
51:57up at Su
51:59Yamin. You bought this for me, Mom. Su
52:02Yammen's voice was full of gentleness.
52:04For a moment, I almost mistook it for
52:07affection. If I hadn't sensed her
52:09disgust toward me last night, I might
52:11have thought she liked me. Lu Jinian is
52:14still unconscious. How could Su Yamin
52:16still be in the mood to act here with
52:18me? Could it be that she blames me?
52:21trying to take revenge more quickly.
52:23Just as I was puzzled, Su Yamin went
52:26back to work again. During that time,
52:28Lynshin Yao sent her a photo. During
52:30that time, Lynshin Yao sent her a photo.
52:32When she opened it, it was a picture of
52:34me picking out a necklace. Right after
52:36that, it was a photo of the orphan
52:38wearing that
52:39necklace. Liningo thought I had bought
52:42it for Su Yaming. Unexpectedly, she saw
52:45the necklace on the orphan that same
52:47afternoon. Su Yaming looked at the
52:49photos. Her expression shifted slightly.
52:52She glanced over at me playing games on
52:54the sofa. I noticed Su Yamin looked at
52:56me several times, but she didn't say
52:59anything. Even during dinner, she kept
53:01glancing at me again and again. Still,
53:04she said nothing. After dinner, she kept
53:07looking at me occasionally, yet said
53:09nothing. To ensure things went smoothly
53:11at tomorrow's shoot, I finally asked her
53:13directly what was wrong. Su Yamin seemed
53:17a bit jealous and said, "Where's my
53:19gift?" I was stunned for a second. Su
53:21Yamin acted as if she got the answer.
53:24You bought gifts for your family and the
53:26orphan. But not for me. Is that how much
53:29you love me? I didn't expect that buying
53:32gifts today would be found out by Su
53:34Yaming. If she finds out now that I
53:36don't like her, this seemingly peaceful
53:38life would end
53:40again. I quickly put on a warm smile and
53:43looked at her affectionately. You've
53:44been holding that in all night because
53:46of this. Their gifts were just random
53:48things I picked. Your gift is something
53:50I'm making myself. It takes time. It's
53:54not done yet. After hearing my
53:56explanation, Su Yamin's expression
53:58finally softened a bit. I woke up in the
54:00morning to the sound of my alarm. Su
54:02Yammen pulled me into her arms. Maybe
54:05because I wasn't fully awake yet. In my
54:07half asleep days, I actually found the
54:09embrace a little warm. I was briefly
54:12lost in it. Then I heard Su Yamin's
54:14lazy, sleepy voice. I arranged a driver
54:18for you. Your driving skills are to
54:20poor. You're not allowed to drive
54:22yourself anymore. Okay, I'll listen to
54:24you. Listen to me. Who am I? Su Yaming
54:27seemed to want to hear a certain title.
54:29I lowered my eyes and said, "You're my
54:32wife." Su Yaming kissed my lips. She
54:35only let me get up when the disgust
54:36became unbearable. Half an hour ago, Su
54:40Yaming received a call from Lu Jinians
54:42mother. She said Lu Jinian had woken up
54:45and was out of danger. He wanted to see
54:48Su Yaming. Su Yaming was sitting in a
54:50private hospital room when she heard Lu
54:53Jinian call her sister Cloud. Su
54:55Yaming<unk>s heart skipped a beat. Her
54:57usually cold eyes were suddenly full of
55:00emotion. What did you call me, Sister
55:02Cloud? Lu Jinian looked at Su Yaming, no
55:05longer hiding the love in his eyes. I'm
55:07Xiao Jin. Su Yaming looked at him, still
55:10a bit uncertain. You're Xiao Jin. Lu
55:13Jinian<unk>s voice was choked with
55:15emotion. When I lured those two people
55:17away for you, I fell off a cliff. I lost
55:20my memory. It wasn't until I woke up
55:22recently that I remembered. No wonder
55:25when I saw that cloud-shaped birthark
55:27behind your ear back then. I felt a
55:28strange sense of familiarity. It turns
55:30out we met when we were kids. You really
55:33are Xiao Jin. Su Yaming had never
55:35forgotten him. She always thought Xiao
55:36Jin had died. She always felt guilty and
55:39warm whenever she thought of him. When
55:40she saw Xiao Jyn being taken away in
55:42despair back then, Su Yaming remembered
55:44their days of
55:46escape. She remembered how Xiao Jin
55:48distracted the traffickers to protect
55:50her and how she watched helplessly as
55:52Xiao Jyn fell off the cliff, unable to
55:54do anything. That's why Su Yaming
55:56stepped in to save Lu Jinian. It was to
55:58make up for the regret of not being able
56:01to save Xiao Jin back then. Now seeing
56:04that Xiao Jin was still alive and that
56:07he was Lu Jinian, the one he saved, Su
56:10Yaming still felt a bit of disbelief.
56:12Since waking
56:14up, Lu Jinian realized he was living in
56:17a novel. He started thinking about how
56:19to change his fate. He didn't know much
56:21about the story. He could only recall a
56:23short piece of text from before he fell
56:25unconscious. From that, he learned the
56:27general outline of his life. Su Yamin
56:29had never loved him. His so-called
56:31affection was only out of regret. for
56:33his first love by Yu
56:35Wong. His favoritism was just a way to
56:37take revenge on Jiu Hayoming. From
56:39beginning to end, he was just a tool in
56:41their relationship. Now that Guu Hioming
56:44is dead, he as the tool is no longer
56:46needed. His fate once again was to be
56:49bullied by everyone. Lu Jinian was
56:51unwilling. Why should he have to accept
56:53such a tragic, miserable, and careless
56:56ending? Knowing about Su Yamin's first
56:58love before he died was his first step
57:01toward changing his fate. Although the
57:04novel only briefly described, the two
57:06being abducted as children. Those key
57:09points were enough to fool Su Yaming.
57:12Sister Cloud, "My head really hurts."
57:15After saying what he needed, Lu Jinian
57:17pretended to feel unwell. He wanted to
57:19give Su Yaming time to process it. If
57:21your head hurts, then lie down and rest.
57:24Su Yan Bin immediately stood up. We can
57:27talk more when you're feeling better.
57:29That gentle voice stung his
57:31ears. Lu Jinian had spent seven years
57:35trying to get Su Yaming to look at her
57:37with eyes like that just once. He had
57:39naively believed that Su Yaming had
57:41feelings for him. You're busy with work.
57:43Go back quickly. Juaming looked at Lu
57:46Jinian, her heart still racing because
57:49this was the Xiao Jin he'd been thinking
57:51about all along. She was overwhelmed
57:52with emotion. I'll come see you again
57:54later. What happened between him and
57:56Xiao Jin? Only the two of them knew.
57:58Only Lu Jinian had ever called her
58:00sister Cloud. Even though the brave
58:02little boy from back then had grown up
58:05to be timid and completely different
58:07now. Su Yaming didn't doubt him. After
58:11all, a person's environment can change
58:13them a lot. Su Yaming used to be timid
58:15as a child, too. She escaped after being
58:17abducted and wandered for years. That's
58:20how she became who she is today. But Lu
58:22Jinian grew up in a home where his
58:24father abused his mother. No matter how
58:27brave he once was, that would wear him
58:29down. Just thinking about Lu Jinian.
58:31Enduring so much suffering since
58:33childhood. Su Yaming was filled with
58:35regret. She regretted not caring more
58:37about Lu Jin and all these years. After
58:39returning to the company, Lu Jingian sat
58:42in his office chair for a while. Before
58:45starting work, I finished a day of
58:46filming and returned to the hotel. As
58:49soon as I picked up my phone, I saw
58:51Lujinian on the trending search. No
58:54wonder Su Yamin didn't bother me all
58:56day. Turns out Lu Jinian woke up. Lu
58:59Jinian saw the trending search, looked
59:00at Su Yamin, and said, "Sister Yanduo,
59:04don't come here if you're okay. I'm
59:05afraid people will gossip. Afraid Homoin
59:08will overthink." Su Yamin looked at him
59:10gently and comforted him. Don't worry,
59:13with me here, no one dares gossip about
59:16you. No one will dare bully you again.
59:18Homing and he won't overthink. Lu Jinian
59:21lowered his head in silence. Maybe it
59:23was a professional habit. Tears rolled
59:26down his cheeks. Su Yamin<unk>s gaze
59:28grew even gentler. What's wrong? Why are
59:31you crying? I'm just too happy. Lu
59:34Jingian said horarssely. I never thought
59:37that the crybaby from childhood would
59:39grow up to be so amazing and take care
59:42of me for so many years. Lu Jinlia knew
59:44that Su Yaming cared most about that
59:47childhood experience with her white
59:48moonlight, so he brought it up again. Su
59:51Yaming wanted to step forward and wipe
59:53his tears. You're doing great now, too.
59:55But for some reason, my face suddenly
59:58came to mind. The face waiting for her
1:00:00to come home. Really? After Yan Duo knew
1:00:03I was Xiao Jing? Was she really not
1:00:05disappointed? Su Yaming looked at him.
1:00:08Xiao Jing was the one he truly cared
1:00:10about, the one he had never forgotten
1:00:12all these years. Su Yamin thought of
1:00:14what Lu Jin asked him before the car
1:00:16accident and thought of Lu Jin, how he
1:00:19drunkenly confessed to him in the past.
1:00:21Just then, Su Yamin's phone
1:00:24rang. It was a message from me. I left
1:00:27my game console in your office. Remember
1:00:30to bring it home. Lu Jin saw Su Yamin
1:00:33looking at her phone and secretly bit
1:00:35his lip. Yan Duo, it's getting late.
1:00:38You've had a long day. Go home and get
1:00:40some rest. Su Yaming stood up and patted
1:00:43her head. Take good care of your injury.
1:00:45I'll come see you again tomorrow. Su
1:00:47Yaming didn't reply to my message. She
1:00:50made a phone call and instructed that no
1:00:52news about her and Lu Jinian was to
1:00:55appear online again. I came home
1:00:57exhausted and looked at the empty living
1:01:00room, but in my mind, her image appeared
1:01:02again. She lay on the bed after a
1:01:05shower, looking at the spot beside her,
1:01:08unable to stop thinking of me, and
1:01:10remembered being kidnapped as a child.
1:01:13Back then, she and Xiao Jing were only 5
1:01:16years old. They were locked in a pitch
1:01:17black room with no daylight. Su Yamin
1:01:20was scared and kept crying. Lu Jin
1:01:22comforted him like a little adult. He
1:01:25even sang to her. Even if Su Yaming said
1:01:28nothing, Lu Jinian still talked non-stop
1:01:31by his side tirelessly. When he saw the
1:01:34birthark behind her ear, Xiao Jing
1:01:36called herself Sister Cloud Yandu Oji.
1:01:39He said his name was Xiao Jing. He said
1:01:40his parents would definitely come to
1:01:42rescue him. When that happened, she'd
1:01:44asked her parents to send Lu Jin back
1:01:46home, too. Later, when the traffickers
1:01:48tried to move them to another location,
1:01:50they got a chance to escape. Xiao Jing
1:01:53bravely and cleverly led her to run away
1:01:55together. But in the end, they were
1:01:57discovered by the traffickers in time.
1:01:59They gave chase. Xiao Jing diverted the
1:02:01traffickers to protect her. Going alone,
1:02:05she watched helplessly as Xiao Jing fell
1:02:07off a cliff. Su Yamin had tried to find
1:02:09Xiao Jing, but all these years there had
1:02:12been no news about him. Su Yamin thought
1:02:15he had died. Now that he was alive and
1:02:17still liked her. In this moment, she
1:02:20felt that revenge meant nothing compared
1:02:22to being with Xiao Jing. Before the
1:02:24alarm even rang in the morning, I was
1:02:26awakened by the sound of Su Yamin
1:02:28opening the door. Why are you here? Su
1:02:30Yaming glanced at me and walked into the
1:02:32room. I came to talk to you about
1:02:35something. I softened my gaze, looking
1:02:37at Su Yaming's slightly tired
1:02:39expression. What's so urgent that made
1:02:42you come so early? Facing my
1:02:44affectionate
1:02:46gaze, the urgency in Su Yaming<unk>s
1:02:48chest was suddenly blocked, seeing that
1:02:51she was struggling to speak, I sensibly
1:02:54said, "Just say what you need to
1:02:56say." Thinking of Xiao Jing Su Yaming
1:03:00finally opened her mouth. I'm here to
1:03:02talk about divorce. What divorce? My
1:03:05chest trembled and any trace of
1:03:07sleepiness vanished. I doubted what I
1:03:09heard. Divorce? The Guapsed overnight.
1:03:13Is Su Yaming trying to make me
1:03:14experience the pain of falling from
1:03:16heaven into hell, looking at my shocked
1:03:19expression? Su Yaming felt a strange
1:03:22tightness in her chest, but thinking of
1:03:24Xiao Jing, she could only ignore that
1:03:26identical resistance to divorce. A
1:03:28forced relationship bears no sweetness.
1:03:30I know you like me, but I have never
1:03:32liked you. Here it comes her blade of
1:03:35revenge. I secretly pinched myself hard,
1:03:39forcing my eyes red from the pain.
1:03:42You've never liked me. Then what did all
1:03:44your kindness to me mean? I had to act
1:03:47out the heartbreak of being dumped
1:03:48convincingly. Only then would Su Yaming
1:03:51feel the satisfaction of revenge. Only
1:03:53then could I get divorced more easily.
1:03:55Su Yaming looked at my ren eyes. It felt
1:03:58like an invisible hand was pulling at
1:04:00her
1:04:00heart. Stirring up strands of pain. She
1:04:04forcefully suppressed the feeling. It
1:04:05was Guu Hyoming who forced the marriage.
1:04:08She was at fault first. She deserved it.
1:04:10Enduring the pain inside. She gritted
1:04:12her teeth and said the kindness she
1:04:13showed before was just a performance to
1:04:15take revenge for being forced into
1:04:16marriage. From beginning to end, all she
1:04:18felt toward me was hatred. I didn't
1:04:21expect. So quickly, we would reach the
1:04:23original ending in the book. I clutched
1:04:25my fingers, biting my lip like I could
1:04:26barely stand. I looked so heartbroken I
1:04:29couldn't even speak. Su Yaming handed me
1:04:32the tightly gripped divorce agreement.
1:04:34Originally, I planned to go after the Gu
1:04:36family and divorce you only when you had
1:04:38nothing left. But I really can't keep
1:04:40acting with you anymore. If you agree to
1:04:43divorce now, then all our grudges will
1:04:46be cleared. I won't touch the Gu family
1:04:48again. I was instantly overjoyed inside.
1:04:51Getting divorced without the Gu family
1:04:53being harmed. That's a win. If I
1:04:55hesitate even a second, I must be crazy.
1:04:58suppressing my excitement, I took the
1:05:00divorce agreement with trembling hands.
1:05:02Pretending to be heartbroken, a few
1:05:04tears fell on the black and white paper.
1:05:07Su Yamin looked at it and felt as if an
1:05:09arrow pierced her chest. A sharp pain
1:05:12surged up. I suddenly lifted my tearful
1:05:15eyes and looked at her. My gaze filled
1:05:17with affection, with sorrow and regret.
1:05:21In just a few seconds, everything we had
1:05:24been through together flashed through my
1:05:26mind. As if compromising, I choked out
1:05:29to words with difficulty. I
1:05:31agree. Then, biting my lip, I picked up
1:05:34the pen and signed the divorce
1:05:36agreement, handing it to her. Su Yaming
1:05:39lowered her eyes to look at the signed
1:05:41divorce papers. There was no feeling of
1:05:43revenge or joy from ending this
1:05:46marriage.
1:05:47Instead, a strange Jenny's rose in her
1:05:50heart. With stiff fingers, Su Yaming
1:05:52took it from me. Tears welled up in my
1:05:55eyes. When should we handle the
1:05:57procedures? Let me know when the time
1:05:59comes. Su Yaming looked at my almost
1:06:01falling tears, desperately holding back
1:06:04sadness. It felt like a hand was
1:06:06gripping her throat. But thinking of
1:06:09Xiao Jing, she tightened her grip on the
1:06:11divorce papers. Today, let's do it
1:06:13today. So impatient. Suddenly I thought
1:06:16of Lu Jinian. It must be thanks to Lu
1:06:18Jinian's car
1:06:19accident. That made Su Yamin afraid and
1:06:23want to claim her quickly. Great. I was
1:06:26overjoyed inside and tears finally
1:06:28spilled from my eyes. I forced out a
1:06:31single word. Okay. See you at the Civil
1:06:33Affairs Bureau in 2 hours. After saying
1:06:36that, I turned around with my back to
1:06:38her. There was no trace of sadness on my
1:06:40face anymore. Su Yaming looked at my
1:06:43trembling shoulders, imagining me
1:06:45holding back tears. Her heart was
1:06:47uncontrollably tight as she gripped the
1:06:49divorce
1:06:50agreement. Pack your things. I'll wait
1:06:53in the car. How could I be happy sitting
1:06:55in Su Yammen's car? No need. I called a
1:06:58ride. Don't worry. If I said I go, I
1:07:01will definitely go. Hearing the door
1:07:03close, I couldn't help but laugh with
1:07:06joy. The Gu family won't go bankrupt,
1:07:08and I'll regain my freedom, too. I can
1:07:11finally enjoy the wonderful single life.
1:07:13This time, Su Yaming kept her word. 3
1:07:16hours later, after completing the
1:07:18formalities, the two of us walked out of
1:07:20the civil affairs bureau one after
1:07:22another. I didn't dare show any
1:07:23happiness in front of Su Yaming. I kept
1:07:26up the appearance of being devastated
1:07:27and heartbroken. Not a word the whole
1:07:30time. I kept my head down as I walked
1:07:32out. I didn't expect Su Yaming to
1:07:34suddenly stop in front of me. I almost
1:07:36bumped into her. When I looked up, I met
1:07:39Su Yamin<unk>s deep, dark
1:07:41gaze. What kind of look is that? Seeing
1:07:44me so sad and heartbroken still isn't
1:07:46enough for her. I didn't give Su Yamin a
1:07:48chance. I spoke first. Don't worry. I
1:07:51know you hate me. I won't bother you
1:07:53again in the future. If I've caused any
1:07:56trouble in your life, I'll stay far away
1:07:58from you. I hope you'll also keep your
1:08:00word and let the Gu family go. I'll come
1:08:02back in a month as promised. After I
1:08:04finished speaking, I walked in the
1:08:06opposite direction from Su Yaming<unk>s
1:08:08car, afraid that if I delayed, I'd
1:08:10accidentally reveal my barely contained
1:08:12joy. Su Yaming watched my departing
1:08:14figure, as if she was watching me slowly
1:08:18walk out of her world. It should have
1:08:20been something to celebrate, but Su
1:08:22Yaming inexplicably felt empty inside,
1:08:24as if something important had been lost.
1:08:27But soon, her phone rang. When she saw
1:08:30the name Xiao Jin on the screen, her
1:08:33eyes instantly softened. Her mind was
1:08:35now filled only with Lu Jinian. The
1:08:37entire way back, I was dreaming of a
1:08:40beautiful future. I returned to the
1:08:41hotel in high spirits and treated the
1:08:43whole crew to drinks. Morang Yan<unk>s
1:08:46eyes showed a hint of sigh. You look
1:08:48really happy today. I grinned widely.
1:08:52Filming a new drama. How could I not be
1:08:53happy? I no longer have to deal with Su
1:08:55Yaming. She won't bother me anymore. How
1:08:58could I not be happy? What I hate is the
1:09:01damn 30-day cooling off period. I hate
1:09:03that I have to wait 30 days to get the
1:09:05divorce certificate and officially be
1:09:07single again. Otherwise, I would have
1:09:10gone to the club tonight to party hard
1:09:12without Su Yamin's interference. The new
1:09:15drama wrapped up in a week thanks to
1:09:16overtime efforts. And with Morang Yan's
1:09:19promotion, Morang Yan and I trended on
1:09:21the hot search again. At the hospital,
1:09:23Lu Jinian leaned against the hospital
1:09:25bed reading the trending topics. Our
1:09:27names had practically taken over the
1:09:29entire feed. The comment section
1:09:31exploded. The CP fans of the two of us
1:09:33made his face darken. The moment this
1:09:35trailer dropped, I completely stole Lu
1:09:38Jinian's spotlight. That's what they
1:09:40call the protagonist aura. So, even if
1:09:43Lu Jinian stole Xiao Jing<unk>s identity
1:09:45because he's not the true
1:09:47protagonist, Su Yaming didn't treat him
1:09:49that well
1:09:50either. During this time, even though Su
1:09:53Yaming came to see him everyday, she
1:09:56cared about me. But something always
1:09:57felt missing. Lu Jinian felt
1:09:59unfortunate. So unfortunate, but he
1:10:02couldn't change anything. Lu Jinian sent
1:10:04a message to Su Yaming Yandu Gi. The
1:10:07doctor says, "I'm recovering well. I can
1:10:09be discharged tomorrow." Elsewhere, in a
1:10:12private club room. Today was Chin
1:10:14Shu<unk>s birthday party. A dozen men
1:10:16and women gathered at a table, making
1:10:18quite a lively scene. Su Yaming sat
1:10:20quietly in the corner drinking alone.
1:10:23Lost in thought, the noise around her
1:10:25didn't affect her at all.
1:10:27When she saw her phone light up, it was
1:10:29a message from Lu
1:10:31Jinian. Su Yaming put down her wine
1:10:33glass and replied, "Then I'll come pick
1:10:36you up tomorrow." Just as she was about
1:10:38to put her phone away, she saw a hot
1:10:40search headline. Morang Yan and Jiu
1:10:42Hayoming dining together. My name stood
1:10:44out conspicuously. Su Yaming hesitated
1:10:47for a moment, but still clicked in.
1:10:49There were quite a few videos inside. He
1:10:52opened one. It was a fanited highlight
1:10:54reel. In the video, I was constantly
1:10:57eating, bite after bite, not caring at
1:10:59all about my image. My appetite and mood
1:11:02looked great. You could occasionally
1:11:03hear Morang Yan's voice. Su Yaming
1:11:06glanced again at the trending list and
1:11:08only then
1:11:09realized the hot search was nearly
1:11:12dominated by me and Morang Yan. Su
1:11:15Yaming opened the teaser trailer. In
1:11:17just 30 seconds, 20 seconds were kissing
1:11:20scenes between me and Morang Yan. Her
1:11:22chest instantly stirred with irritation.
1:11:25She raised her glass and drank it all in
1:11:27one gulp. This whole week, it was like
1:11:29she was under a spell. At home, she
1:11:32would think of me. At work, she would
1:11:34also think of me. Clearly, all those
1:11:36memories were just part of her act to
1:11:38get revenge. Yet, every time she saw
1:11:40something, she would unconsciously be
1:11:42reminded of me. Even though she knew Jiu
1:11:45Hiomi disgusted her and she was supposed
1:11:47to like Xiao Jing every time she went to
1:11:50visit Ziao Jing at the hospital. She
1:11:51never felt the affection she expected.
1:11:53Instead, she would inexplicably think of
1:11:55me, thinking of Guiu Hyoming being
1:11:57threatened by me, even though he was
1:11:59furious and gritting his teeth. He could
1:12:01instantly become shocked, wearing a fake
1:12:03smile and pretending to be obedient.
1:12:05Thinking of the way Guyoming looked at
1:12:07me affectionately. I'd even wonder if he
1:12:09was feeling sad now.
1:12:12Many times she had the urge to contact
1:12:14me, but in the end she held back again
1:12:16and again. She felt she had gotten to
1:12:19deep into the role. She forced herself
1:12:21to get out of it, but after a week had
1:12:24passed. Seeing my intimate scene with
1:12:26Morang Yan, felt like a needle stabbing
1:12:28into Su Yanjin<unk>s eyes. Lyn Shinyao
1:12:31got bored of playing over there. Came
1:12:33over and saw Su Yanjin staring blankly
1:12:36at a photo of me. Couldn't help teasing
1:12:38her. Didn't expect even Sister Yaming
1:12:41would have a moment of nostalgia. Liking
1:12:43someone isn't something to be ashamed
1:12:45of. You don't have to admit it to us.
1:12:48But don't lie to
1:12:49yourself. Su Yanjin looked up at her.
1:12:52Why do you all think I like
1:12:54Juing? Ask yourself honestly, haven't
1:12:57you come here every night for a week
1:12:59drinking in frustration? Isn't it
1:13:00because of him? Su Yanjin<unk>s fingers
1:13:03stiffened, but just then the phone rang.
1:13:05My parents originally thought I was just
1:13:08playing around with acting when they saw
1:13:09the trending topic of me and Morang Yen
1:13:12online. They instantly got nervous
1:13:14immediately called their daughter Yamin.
1:13:17Hey is filming and you're not doing
1:13:19anything about it. Look at him hugging
1:13:21and being close with another woman.
1:13:23Aren't you mad? Tell him to come back
1:13:25right now. It's not like our family
1:13:27lacks money. If this continues, your
1:13:30husband will become someone else's
1:13:32husband since they haven't gotten their
1:13:34divorce certificate yet. They were still
1:13:36legally married. Neither had told their
1:13:38parents about the divorce. Su Yanjin
1:13:40brushed it off and hung up the phone.
1:13:42Just as she raised her glass and took a
1:13:44sip. She heard from Lin Shin Yao<unk>s
1:13:46phone nearby. Mang Yian<unk>s voice
1:13:48coming through. Thank you, Aunt Shin,
1:13:50for the carnival gift. There are over
1:13:52100,000 viewers online in the live
1:13:54stream. Chinuan saw the trending topic
1:13:57and immediately joined the live stream
1:13:59and topped up then declared her
1:14:01identity. In just a few minutes, a crowd
1:14:03had
1:14:04gathered. Mangin clearly knew Chinujan
1:14:07was my
1:14:08mother. She immediately requested to
1:14:10connect with her. Can you hear me
1:14:12talking? Shinujan accepted Morang
1:14:14Yan<unk>s request to connect. Yes, I can
1:14:17hear you. When I heard my mom's voice, I
1:14:20finally walked over to the screen. Why
1:14:22are you sending her gifts? Manging got
1:14:24upset. Annie is giving me gifts. That
1:14:27means she likes me. Isn't it obvious?
1:14:30Shinujan said affectionately. Yes, I'm
1:14:33Xiaoy<unk>s fan. I send her gifts
1:14:35because I'm happy to. You're not even
1:14:37live streaming. If you were live
1:14:38streaming, mom would send you gifts,
1:14:40too. I sighed. Isn't that just wasting
1:14:43half the money? Morangian happily
1:14:46replied to Annie. I'm happy just knowing
1:14:49you like me. No need to send me gifts,
1:14:51Chinuan said warmly. It's just a small
1:14:54token from Annie. It's Homin's first
1:14:56time acting. You must have helped him a
1:14:58lot in the crew. Come to our house for a
1:15:01meal when you're free. Annie will cook
1:15:03something delicious for you. Mangin
1:15:05immediately agreed. You really don't act
1:15:07modest at all. Mangin glanced at me.
1:15:10Don't you want me to go? Mom cut in.
1:15:14Xiao Yian. Don't worry about what he
1:15:16thinks. Lyn Shin Yao deliberately only
1:15:18lets Su Yanjing hear the sound but not
1:15:20see the screen. After the call ended,
1:15:22she looked at her curiously. "Don't tell
1:15:25me you and Guo Hiomin are divorced." Su
1:15:28Yanjin<unk>s face went cold and she
1:15:29stood up. She went straight home. The
1:15:32internet was flooded with news about
1:15:34me. Su Yanjin always thought the divorce
1:15:37would be a big blow to me, that I'd be
1:15:39heartbroken, lose my appetite and sleep.
1:15:42But from the photos, not only did I not
1:15:45lose weight, my face even looked a bit
1:15:47fuller. My overall appearance looked
1:15:50confident and radiant. Even the comment
1:15:53section was no longer mocking me.
1:15:55Everyone was praising me. Juu Hyomin
1:15:58always claimed he loves Su Yanjing. But
1:16:00after the divorce, he wasn't affected at
1:16:02all. Instead, he's doing better and
1:16:05better. While I clearly don't like him,
1:16:07I still think about him every day. After
1:16:09eating and drinking my fill, Morangian
1:16:11also ended the live stream. Back in my
1:16:13room, I habitually picked up my phone
1:16:16and suddenly saw a comment from a user
1:16:18named Handsome Guy from Xang Chang.
1:16:21That's when I remember Jang Chang is
1:16:23about to face an opportunity, a major
1:16:25earthquake. In the book, Lu Jinian went
1:16:28to Jang Chang days later and encountered
1:16:30an earthquake. Su Yamin rushed over. The
1:16:33original character hated Lu Jinian for
1:16:35this, so he hired people to beat him up.
1:16:38But now the main story line has changed.
1:16:40With Lu Jinian having a fracture, he
1:16:42definitely won't go to Jang Chen. But
1:16:44the earthquake will still happen as
1:16:46scheduled. I wondered whether I should
1:16:48say something about it. I knew better
1:16:49than anyone that even if I said it, no
1:16:52one would believe me. But thinking of
1:16:54all those lives at stake, I decided to
1:16:57give a warning anyway. I replied to that
1:16:59Jang user. Lately, I've been observing
1:17:02celestial signs, and Jang will likely
1:17:04have a big earthquake in the next couple
1:17:06of days. for safety reasons. If you can
1:17:09avoid staying in Xang, then please do.
1:17:12Then I privately messaged Jang Shangs
1:17:14mainstream media saying that there may
1:17:16be a major earthquake in Xang. After
1:17:19that, I put down my phone and went to
1:17:22sleep. When I woke up, it was already
1:17:24past 8:00 a.m. I turned on my phone and
1:17:26found that because of my reply last
1:17:28night, I was being cursed on the
1:17:30trending list. I thought people would at
1:17:32most treat it as a joke, but
1:17:33unexpectedly they interpreted my good
1:17:36intentions as
1:17:37malicious. Though to me, it wasn't a bad
1:17:40thing. The more malice they show now,
1:17:42the more their perception of me will
1:17:44improve later. So, I took advantage of
1:17:46the attention and made another post. I
1:17:49have absolutely no ill intent toward
1:17:50Jang. On the contrary, I really like
1:17:53Jang. That's why I noticed recently some
1:17:56strange signs in Jang. in the next 2 or
1:17:583 days. Everyone should be extra
1:18:00cautious just in case. There's no harm
1:18:03in being careful. Don't you all agree?
1:18:06Gore saw my post on Waybo and
1:18:08immediately messaged me. You're a public
1:18:10figure now making predictions about
1:18:12earthquakes is not something to joke
1:18:14about online. I told Gur directly. I
1:18:17said I genuinely sense there would be an
1:18:19earthquake in Jang Chang. Do you believe
1:18:21me? I watched as the other side kept
1:18:23typing dot then sent a message. There's
1:18:25no harm in being cautious over the next
1:18:28couple of days. Have our daily
1:18:29necessities company prepare a batch of
1:18:32relief supplies. I had today's off.
1:18:34Originally, I planned to go home, but
1:18:36since I haven't received the divorce
1:18:38certificate yet. If I go home now and
1:18:40not to sue Yamin's place, my parents
1:18:42will definitely notice something's off.
1:18:44I'm afraid something might go wrong with
1:18:46the divorce. So, I decided to wait until
1:18:48I get the divorce certificate to tell
1:18:49them. But meanwhile, mom and dad went to
1:18:52the hospital for a regular checkup and
1:18:54ran into Su Yamin. Su Yamin was helping
1:18:57Lu Jinian out of the hospital. Lu
1:18:59Jinian's mother followed behind carrying
1:19:01luggage. They looked just like a family.
1:19:05Dad's face instantly changed in anger.
1:19:07He walked straight toward them. Mom
1:19:10looked at Su Yammen helping Lu
1:19:12Jinian. Her expression wasn't any
1:19:14better. My son is working hard filming
1:19:17out there and you're at home taking care
1:19:19of another man. So this is how you're
1:19:21bullying my son behind our backs. Lu
1:19:24Jinnian immediately panicked and tried
1:19:25to explain Annie. It's not what you
1:19:28think. Chinujan thought of how her son
1:19:30insisted on acting and instantly
1:19:33imagined it was because of Su Yaming
1:19:36that he liked this little celebrity and
1:19:38wanted to use acting to please her. Have
1:19:40you acted too much? Is that why you
1:19:42think it's normal to be entangled with
1:19:44married women? Like it's just everyday
1:19:47behavior. Lu Jinian could only look at
1:19:49Su Yamin sister, Yanduo. Let go of me.
1:19:52Don't let uncle and Annie misunderstand.
1:19:55But Lu Jinian had a fractured leg. He
1:19:57couldn't even stand properly. There's no
1:19:59way Su Yamin would let go. She looked at
1:20:01the boy who once protected her and was
1:20:04now suffering because of her. Su Yaming
1:20:06coldly looked at my parents. Chin Shujin
1:20:08looked at Lu Jinian and said coldly,
1:20:11calling her sister Yanduo so
1:20:13affectionately. Lu Jinian took a step
1:20:15forward and explained, "Please don't
1:20:16blame sister Yanduo. I'm the one who
1:20:19one-sidedly likes her. I want to be with
1:20:21her. I shamelessly clung to her. She
1:20:24only pied me. She's never done anything
1:20:27to betray
1:20:28Juing." Gore, who had just parked, stood
1:20:31in front of Su
1:20:32Yaming with a cold smirk, looking at
1:20:35him. Since you're so good at being
1:20:36pitiful, why don't you take him home
1:20:38with you? Su Yaming sneered and looked
1:20:40at Gur. Have you been waiting for me to
1:20:43get divorced? Gur retorted, not backing
1:20:46down. If I wasn't hoping for you and
1:20:48Homing to divorce, am I supposed to
1:20:50support you cheating while married?
1:20:52Having both the bull and the pot. Su
1:20:54Yaming, either cut ties with him now, or
1:20:57divorce
1:20:58Hyoming. Su Yaming coldly smirked, not
1:21:01backing down. And who are you to make
1:21:03such demands of me? So, you've had a few
1:21:06extra meals at the Gu family's table.
1:21:08You really think you're part of the Gu
1:21:10family? Ju Dong Wo slapped. Su Yamin
1:21:13across the face, his face red with
1:21:15anger. Lu Jinian immediately grew
1:21:18anxious, eyes reening. Sister Yanduo,
1:21:21are you okay? Su Yamin looked coldly at
1:21:23Gui Dong Wo, then supported Lu Jinian
1:21:26and left. Sister Yandu, I'm sorry. If it
1:21:29weren't for me, you wouldn't have been
1:21:31misunderstood. Su Yamin looked at him
1:21:33darkly.
1:21:34Why did you have to say all that just
1:21:36now? Did I say something wrong? Lu
1:21:39Jinian had just said he liked her, clung
1:21:41to her, and that Su Yaming pied him.
1:21:43Those words only made people
1:21:45misunderstand even more. Su Yaming
1:21:47thought of what Lu Jinian was like as a
1:21:49child, didn't want to argue, just looked
1:21:51at him and stayed
1:21:53silent. Maybe she was just overthinking
1:21:55it. But why is it that when looking at
1:21:57Lujinian? All she felt was irritation
1:22:00and frustration, she sent Lujin back to
1:22:02his place. His mother invited Su Yaming
1:22:05to stay for dinner, but she used work as
1:22:07an excuse and left. Once inside the car,
1:22:10Su Yamin opened our WeChat chat
1:22:11conversation. After the divorce
1:22:13procedures were done, she hadn't
1:22:15messaged me since. Her fingers hovered
1:22:18over the screen for a while. Su Yamin
1:22:21finally acted and sent me a message. I
1:22:23want to see you now. I got a call from
1:22:26Chinuan saying Jiu Dong Wo had been
1:22:29hospitalized. I was on my way back when
1:22:31I saw the message from Su
1:22:33Yamin. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
1:22:36Must have had a few bottles of alcohol
1:22:38sending the wrong messages again. Su
1:22:40Yamin replied, "I didn't send it wrong.
1:22:43Are you coming back or should I come to
1:22:45you?" My eyelids twitch
1:22:47twice. We've already processed our
1:22:49divorce. We've torn each other's faces
1:22:52off. What's left to see? Our
1:22:54relationship is no longer one where we
1:22:56should meet. If there's something, just
1:22:58say it here. Su Yandin didn't reply to
1:23:00my message again. I thought of how she
1:23:02had vanished for days and suddenly
1:23:05contacted me asking to meet. I had an
1:23:07uneasy feeling. In the hospital room,
1:23:10Chinujin was angry and worried. Su Yamin
1:23:14went to far cheating in front of us and
1:23:17doing it so boldly. I really
1:23:19underestimated Lu Jing before. When
1:23:22Haomi bullied him, I thought he had been
1:23:24wronged. never expected. He had always
1:23:27had his eyes on Su Yamin. Gore kept
1:23:29messaging me on the side trying to
1:23:32comfort me when he homin isn't the same
1:23:34anymore. He no longer only has eyes for
1:23:37Su Yammen. Now he has things he wants to
1:23:40pursue his own life. Maybe divorcing
1:23:43someone who doesn't love him will
1:23:45actually be a good thing for him. That's
1:23:48when I found out dad got sick from anger
1:23:50because of Su Yamin. In the novel, he
1:23:53had a brain hemorrhage due to Su
1:23:54Yamin<unk>s actions. I started to get
1:23:57worried. As soon as I entered the
1:23:59hospital, I rushed to the room and
1:24:00walked toward Jiu Dong W lying on the
1:24:03bed. How did you suddenly get
1:24:04hospitalized? How are you? What did the
1:24:07doctor say? Gui Dong W looked at me.
1:24:09Shinujan also looked at me. Gur looked
1:24:12at me too, but no one said a word. I saw
1:24:14that Shinshu<unk>s eyes were red. I
1:24:16thought Ju Dong W must be seriously ill.
1:24:19So I stood up and said, "If you won't
1:24:21say anything, I'll go ask the doctor."
1:24:23Seeing that I was worried. Guong Wo
1:24:25spoke up. It's nothing serious, just a
1:24:28high blood pressure episode. I
1:24:30immediately laughed. High blood pressure
1:24:32and mom's that worried. How did you get
1:24:35so lucky to have mom love you this much?
1:24:38Chinujians eyes read and more. Who said
1:24:40I was worried about him? I was worried
1:24:42about you. I've been eating and sleeping
1:24:44well every day. What is there to worry
1:24:46about seeing me smile so happily?
1:24:48Chinujan felt even more heartache. She
1:24:50knew exactly how much her son had loved
1:24:52Su Yamin all these years better than
1:24:54anyone. And after all those trending
1:24:56topics showing their affection lately.
1:24:58When Su Yaman treated him well, I
1:25:00changed completely. But now Su Yamin
1:25:03even dares too openly. Get entangled
1:25:06with other men in front of them.
1:25:09Shinujan asked cautiously. How are
1:25:11things with you and Su Yamin lately? I
1:25:13looked at her then at Jiu Dongw. Stop
1:25:16hiding it from me. I already know. On
1:25:19the way back, I made up my mind since
1:25:21she's gone that far. I don't plan to
1:25:24keep going with her either. Chinujan
1:25:26hugged me with heartache.
1:25:29Haing. Mom and dad will always support
1:25:31your decision. If Su Yamin doesn't know
1:25:33how to cherish you, then she doesn't
1:25:35deserve you. At the mention of Su Yamin,
1:25:38Ju Dongo<unk>s chest filled with rage
1:25:40again. Wner from today on cancel all
1:25:44cooperation with Sue Group. I stepped
1:25:46forward and said, "Mom, dad, don't
1:25:49worry. I've already thought it all
1:25:50through. There are so many things I want
1:25:52to do now. As for Su Yamin, she's just a
1:25:56part of my youth. A phase where I had to
1:25:58hit a wall before I could turn back. She
1:26:00become part of the past. I comforted my
1:26:03parents and Gur left to give the couple
1:26:05some
1:26:06space. Then we left together. Gur and I
1:26:09found a restaurant to have dinner. It
1:26:12was our first time eating alone
1:26:13together. I focus only on eating. Gore
1:26:17kept glancing at me now and then. Her
1:26:19eyes were filled with unspoken words.
1:26:22I'm not stupid. I had already told my
1:26:24parents I was divorcing Su Yamin, which
1:26:26gave Gore, the devoted admirer, a bit of
1:26:29hope, but she's still incredibly
1:26:31respectful of boundaries. A man that's
1:26:33affectionate and mature. If I didn't
1:26:35already know that Gura's feelings were
1:26:38always for the original me, the one who,
1:26:40despite all her mistakes, he still loved
1:26:42deeply. Even I might have been moved.
1:26:44Halfway through dinner, my phone rang.
1:26:47It was a message from Su Yamin again.
1:26:50I'm at the door of the private room
1:26:51right now. If you don't come out, I'm
1:26:54going in. I almost swore out loud. So,
1:26:56my instinct was right after all. This
1:26:58woman really came looking for trouble. I
1:27:00made up an excuse about going to the
1:27:02restroom. Opened the door and saw Su
1:27:04Yamin. I was surprised. Shouldn't you be
1:27:07happy and glowing being with the one you
1:27:09love? Why do you look so worn out? Was
1:27:12taking care of Lu Jinian too exhausting?
1:27:14I was a bit impatient. Say it. Why are
1:27:17you looking for me? Su Yamin<unk>s
1:27:19expression shifted slightly and she
1:27:21pulled me into a nearby private room. I
1:27:23looked at her impatiently. What? It's
1:27:25been a week since the divorce,
1:27:27regretting it already. Did you just
1:27:28realize you love me? Su Yammen stared at
1:27:31my mocking expression and found it
1:27:33extremely harsh on the eyes. Hey, don't
1:27:36talk to me like that. I immediately
1:27:38sneered. Then what tone do you want?
1:27:40Don't forget it was you who said you
1:27:42never loved
1:27:43me. All I had to do was sign the divorce
1:27:46papers and everything in the past would
1:27:47be erased. It's only been a week since
1:27:49we last met. Su Yamin looked at the man
1:27:52standing so close to her and her heart
1:27:54was still in turmoil. Her chest rose and
1:27:56fell with deep unrest. She was
1:27:58overwhelmed with
1:28:00emotion. She came to see me just to
1:28:02confirm something. It was only at that
1:28:04moment that she realized I had long ago
1:28:07unknowingly moved into her heart. That's
1:28:09why she felt upset seeing me laughing
1:28:11with another woman. That's why she lost
1:28:13control when she saw me filming a kiss
1:28:15scene with someone else. All the torment
1:28:17she put me through was just an excuse to
1:28:19get me to look at her with affection.
1:28:20All those scenes she acted out with me
1:28:22were really what she wanted to do to me.
1:28:24Sue Yam Bin was silent for a moment,
1:28:26then finally opened her mouth, lips
1:28:29pressed tightly. I regret it. Hearing
1:28:31that, my heart tightened. What do you
1:28:33mean? I don't want a divorce anymore. It
1:28:35hit me like a thunderclap. Why? I was
1:28:38furious. You played with my feelings
1:28:40before. When I thought you loved me, you
1:28:42forced me to divorce. You hurt me so
1:28:46cruy. Now that I finally moved on, you
1:28:49say you regret it and don't want to
1:28:50divorce. Is it because your revenge
1:28:52isn't finished yet? Do you want to hurt
1:28:54me again? Su Yamin remembered all the
1:28:57things she had said to me before and
1:28:58lowered her head, whispering, "No, it's
1:29:01not that." Hearing that, I laughed
1:29:03bitterly. If it's not revenge, then
1:29:05what? You really fell for me. My mocking
1:29:08tone was especially harsh. Suit Yaming
1:29:10couldn't say a word. Her silence to me
1:29:12felt like silent admission. I couldn't
1:29:15help but laugh again, like I had just
1:29:17heard the funniest joke in the world. Do
1:29:20you think I'm
1:29:22brainless? Super easy to fool. Su Yam
1:29:25and suddenly stepped forward and hugged
1:29:27me. I stood still, staring at her,
1:29:30letting her kiss me. There wasn't a
1:29:32single sound in the private room, only
1:29:34the increasingly erratic breathing. In
1:29:36the end, Su Yammen pushed me away again.
1:29:38Her eyes were filled with emotion she
1:29:40could barely suppress. Her face looked
1:29:43terrible. Once again, I was convinced
1:29:46that she was still disgusted by me. I
1:29:50looked at her in confusion. After all,
1:29:53she had already gotten close to Lu Jin
1:29:55in public, flirting openly. Why all of a
1:29:58sudden are you pretending to love me
1:30:00again? I really couldn't take it
1:30:02anymore. I slapped Su Yaming hard across
1:30:04the face.
1:30:06Su Yanin, it was wrong of me to force
1:30:08the marriage back then, but I have
1:30:10already received the punishment and
1:30:12torment I deserved from you. Is that
1:30:14still not enough to offset the hatred in
1:30:16your heart that you want to deceive me
1:30:18again? Su Yaming didn't expect me to hit
1:30:21her. She looked at me, then at my renin
1:30:24eyes, thinking of the deep affection I
1:30:26had shown before. The cold expression on
1:30:28Su Yamin's face softened. This time, I'm
1:30:31not lying to you. I did use a bit of
1:30:33acting, but when I saw your eyes that
1:30:36tolerated even a slap from me, I
1:30:38instantly felt ashamed. The disgust in
1:30:41your eyes is so obvious. Do you think
1:30:43I'm blind? Su Yaming tried to explain
1:30:45awkwardly. I didn't. It was the first
1:30:48time Suyaming felt at a complete loss
1:30:50for words. Hey, believe me, she didn't
1:30:54understand why there was still that
1:30:56feeling of disgust, but it definitely
1:30:57wasn't because of hatred. Maybe it was
1:30:59due to the intense urge for revenge in
1:31:01the past. The strong resentment formed
1:31:03an instinctive reaction. I responded
1:31:06with a cold laugh. A week ago, you said
1:31:09it yourself. You never loved me.
1:31:12Everything was just an act. This
1:31:14morning, you were still tangled up with
1:31:15Lu Jingian and made my dad so angry he
1:31:18ended up in the hospital. And now you
1:31:20say you like me. Are you a chameleon
1:31:22changing so easily? Su Yaming just
1:31:24looked at me deeply. Hey oming, whether
1:31:27you believe it or not, I won't divorce
1:31:29you anymore. My chest suddenly tightened
1:31:32sharply. Su Yaming, I don't love you
1:31:35anymore. I stopped loving you the moment
1:31:37we filed for divorce. If you force me to
1:31:40stay by your side, I will only grow to
1:31:42hate you. Su Yaming felt as if her heart
1:31:45was being gripped. She could only
1:31:47struggle helplessly. Even if you hate
1:31:49me, it's fine. She didn't believe these
1:31:51seven years of affection meant nothing.
1:31:53Hailman was able to let go completely in
1:31:55just a week. What the hell is going on?
1:31:58The male lead's progress had clearly
1:32:00made a huge leap forward. Why is she
1:32:02still trying to discuss me? Is it
1:32:04because I didn't die like in the book? I
1:32:07didn't give her the ending she wanted.
1:32:09Would she only be satisfied if I died? I
1:32:12felt completely off, agitated, and
1:32:15irritable. But Su Yaming grabbed my hand
1:32:18and said firmly, "Come home with me." I
1:32:20tried to shake him off, but she only
1:32:22gripped tighter. Su yaming, seeing how I
1:32:25resisted and refused to go with her. She
1:32:27could only resort to threats. Don't
1:32:29forget what I have on you. I clenched my
1:32:32jaw, my fist tightening harder and
1:32:34harder. Seeing I had finally stopped
1:32:36resisting, Su Yaming dragged me out the
1:32:39door. I hadn't even grabbed my phone.
1:32:41Only then did Su Yaming stop at the door
1:32:43of the private room. Wait here, she
1:32:45said. I'll go in and get it for you. I
1:32:47immediately refused. I'll go get it
1:32:49myself. But Su Yamin insisted, "Either I
1:32:52go or we go together." We just talked
1:32:54about divorce and now she's dragging me
1:32:56along again. I could already imagine how
1:32:58orphan would feel seeing us appear
1:33:00together. How sad she must be. I
1:33:03clenched my teeth. Fine, you go. Su
1:33:06Yaming pushed open the door to the
1:33:07private room and immediately saw her.
1:33:10Her face instantly turned cold. What are
1:33:12you doing here? Su Yaming explained
1:33:14calmly. I came to get something for
1:33:16Hyoming. Orphan stood up immediately.
1:33:19This morning you were pitying another
1:33:20man and now you're trying to win favor
1:33:22again. Even a master of time management
1:33:25isn't as skilled as you. Su Yamin looked
1:33:27at her composed and sharp. Two equally
1:33:30stunning women with perfect figures.
1:33:33When their eyes met, it was like love
1:33:35rivals about to
1:33:37clash. Su Yaming saw through Orphan.
1:33:39With a calm face, she said, "You want me
1:33:42to get divorced? Too bad I have no
1:33:44intention of divorcing Haomin." Orphan
1:33:46clenched her fingers tightly, unable to
1:33:48bear it anymore. Su Yaming, if you
1:33:50really had guts, you wouldn't be
1:33:52threatening him. Su Yaming retorted, "If
1:33:54you really had guts, why didn't you
1:33:57marry Hyoming? These past 2 years,
1:33:59seeing me get tormented by Su Yaming
1:34:02until I wasn't myself anymore." She
1:34:04regretted it every single moment. Those
1:34:07words hit a nerve. Orphan immediately
1:34:09lunged forward and started struggling
1:34:10with Su Yaming. I pushed open the
1:34:12private room door and saw the two of
1:34:14them fighting as I walked in. I picked
1:34:16up my phone and glanced towards Su
1:34:19Yaming. Only then did Su Yaming let go.
1:34:22Right in front of Orphan, she grabbed my
1:34:24hand and looked at her, then turned and
1:34:26walked out. For the first time, Orphan
1:34:29lost control watching us leave. Sitting
1:34:31in the car, I sent Orphan a message. I
1:34:34know you're worried about me. I'm fine.
1:34:37Next time, don't argue with her. Don't
1:34:39lower yourself to her level. If you have
1:34:41the energy, you might as well think
1:34:43about how to bring her down faster.
1:34:45After seeing the message, the haze and
1:34:47orphan's eyes slowly lifted. Clarity
1:34:49returned to her gaze. This time, she was
1:34:52certain I no longer love Suaming. It was
1:34:54really because of the threat that I
1:34:56couldn't divorce her. So, there was no
1:34:58need to hold back anymore. She picked up
1:35:00her phone and called her assistant. From
1:35:03now on, do not renew any expiring
1:35:06contracts with the Sue Group. switch to
1:35:08the partners I selected earlier and the
1:35:11few men I asked you to investigate.
1:35:13How's that going? How many of them
1:35:15signed the agreements? The assistant
1:35:17replied, "Two men haven't been located
1:35:19yet. The rest have all signed." She
1:35:22moved her fingers slightly. I'll send
1:35:24you a few photos later by one of the top
1:35:27three trending spots. After messaging
1:35:29orphan, I opened another contact. How's
1:35:33the investigation going on? What I asked
1:35:34for? Ever since I was threatened, I
1:35:37started digging into
1:35:38Suyaming. Back then, I accidentally
1:35:41stumbled upon a website online. The
1:35:43advertisements were bold and arrogant,
1:35:45claiming they could do anything. As long
1:35:48as the money was right, there was
1:35:50nothing they couldn't solve. I contacted
1:35:52them immediately. They told me the more
1:35:54money I paid, the faster I'd get what I
1:35:56wanted. So, I sent 500,000 at once.
1:35:59Then, I added the contact of this
1:36:01person. After that, I kept waiting for
1:36:04news. But half a month passed and I
1:36:06heard nothing. I started to think I had
1:36:08been scammed. But soon after, the person
1:36:11finally messaged me back. You're the
1:36:13least proactive client I've ever met. I
1:36:16almost threw your stuff away as trash.
1:36:18He eagerly opened the file. From Su
1:36:21Yaming being abducted at age 5 to
1:36:23returning home at age 15, all the
1:36:26hardship she experienced in between,
1:36:28this guy had found it all. stuff I
1:36:30hadn't even read in the book. But the
1:36:32dirt she provided was completely
1:36:35different from what I was looking for.
1:36:37It couldn't threaten Su Yamin at all.
1:36:40What did he send me? Photos of her being
1:36:42beaten to the ground as a child. Photos
1:36:44of her yelling at and firing employees
1:36:46after becoming CEO. Paparazzi shots of
1:36:49her with Lu Jinian. And the most were of
1:36:51me chasing after Su Yaming. In short, I
1:36:55turned out to be Su Yaming's biggest
1:36:56scandal. with mixed feelings. I replied
1:36:59to her, "This isn't the kind of dirt I
1:37:02wanted." She responded, "That's all the
1:37:04dirt I have on him right now. But if you
1:37:07want other types of dirt, we can help
1:37:09create it, too." I suddenly became
1:37:12interested. You can create any kind of
1:37:14scandal. Of course, as long as the money
1:37:17is there, I cautiously asked, "What
1:37:19about criminal accusations? Can you
1:37:21fabricate those, too?" This time, she
1:37:24paused for a few seconds. If you want
1:37:26criminal accusations, why not just have
1:37:28her killed? There's currently a discount
1:37:3020% off. I sighed and said, "Just keep
1:37:34monitoring her. If there's any new dirt,
1:37:36send it to me immediately. Stop waiting
1:37:38for me to ask for Su Yaming. But the
1:37:40female lead is plot armor. She's not
1:37:43that easy to kill. If I hire someone to
1:37:46kill her and she doesn't die, then I'm
1:37:48the one who will end up dead." While
1:37:50driving, Su Yaming kept glancing at me.
1:37:53Seeing me right there in front of her,
1:37:55her tormented heart of the past few days
1:37:57seemed to suddenly find a place to rest.
1:37:59I leaned against the seat after sending
1:38:01the message, figning death, I didn't
1:38:03spare her a single glance the whole
1:38:05time. After arriving home, Su Yaming
1:38:07dragged me straight to the bedroom. If
1:38:09you won't sleep with me, then your
1:38:10friends won't help either. What's the
1:38:12point of bringing me to the bedroom? My
1:38:13days of freedom were once again taken
1:38:15from me. I was boiling with anger
1:38:17inside, just about to curse her out. But
1:38:19Su Yaming, like before, ordered me to
1:38:22change clothes quickly. We're going out
1:38:24later. I was confused where too. Su
1:38:27Yamin looked at me coldly. Is your dad
1:38:29okay? My heart immediately tensed up
1:38:32again. If you hadn't shown up in front
1:38:33of him, he would have been fine. Just
1:38:36then, Su Yamin's phone rang. She
1:38:39answered the call. She dropped me off at
1:38:41the hospital entrance and went to the
1:38:43office while handling a stack of
1:38:44documents. Her assistant rushed in.
1:38:48President Sue, bad news. Su Yaming
1:38:51looked up. The assistant handed her a
1:38:53phone with something pulled up. The
1:38:55trending topic headline was Su Yaming
1:38:57caught cheating with Lu Jinian. The post
1:38:59included photos of the hospital entrance
1:39:01showing Su Yaming and Lu Jinian together
1:39:04within just 5 minutes of posting. It had
1:39:06already reached second place on the
1:39:07trending list. Even marketing accounts
1:39:09usually don't dare write headlines like
1:39:11this. In the past, both the Sue and Guu
1:39:14families wouldn't allow it either. No
1:39:16one dared write like this. But now it
1:39:18was hanging at the second spot on
1:39:19trending without hesitation. Su Yamin
1:39:22immediately made calls to get it taken
1:39:23down. 10 minutes later, the trending
1:39:26post was pushed down. The assistant
1:39:27answered another call. Meanwhile,
1:39:29someone emotionless walked into orphan's
1:39:31office. President Jiu, the trending post
1:39:34has been suppressed. They said someone
1:39:36offered a higher price. Gua put down the
1:39:38pen in her hand. Then offer an even
1:39:41higher price. Buy it back. Find a way to
1:39:43boost the heat as fast as possible.
1:39:465 minutes later, the assistant rushed
1:39:49into the CEO's office
1:39:51again. President Sue, the trending post
1:39:54is back online. I heard the other party
1:39:56offered more again. Su Yamin<unk>s face
1:39:58turned cold. Then spend more than they
1:40:00did. Suppress it. The assistant glanced
1:40:03at her. President Sue, I think just
1:40:05suppressing it with money. Won't work
1:40:08this time. We need to find Sir Sue.
1:40:10Yaming finally looked at her seriously.
1:40:12The assistant explained, "This trending
1:40:14post clearly looks like it was bought by
1:40:16the Gu family. They're trying to get
1:40:18revenge for sir. Sir loves you so much.
1:40:21And you didn't actually cheat. Just
1:40:22explain it to her. With just one word
1:40:24from her, this will be over." Su Yaming
1:40:27thought about how I treated her today.
1:40:29She spoke again. Suppress it with money
1:40:32first. Don't give them another chance to
1:40:34bring it up. The assistant immediately
1:40:36went to handle it. But Lu Jinian was
1:40:38trending hot recently. His fans and
1:40:40marketing accounts were paying close
1:40:43attention to him, even if the post
1:40:45didn't stay on the trending list for
1:40:46long. Many people had already noticed
1:40:48it. They all took screenshots and saved
1:40:51them. On top of that, the side had hired
1:40:53a ton of fake commenters to post
1:40:55sensitive marketing accounts.
1:40:57Immediately sense the smell of a
1:40:58relationship breakdown between the Gu
1:41:00and Sue families. Those who didn't dare
1:41:02write before now jumped out to join the
1:41:05trending conversation. Lu Jinian also
1:41:07saw it in the past on trending topics.
1:41:09He and Su Yaming had never had any
1:41:11scandal together. Lu Jinian realized
1:41:14this must be the Gu attacking Su Yaming.
1:41:17It looks like Su Yaming really turned
1:41:18against them for his own sake. He was
1:41:21secretly pleased. His agent called and
1:41:24he immediately called Su Yaming. Sister
1:41:27Yandu, my agent just called. That's how
1:41:31I found out about the trending post. I'm
1:41:33sorry. I didn't expect this would cause
1:41:35you so much trouble. What should we do
1:41:38now? I'll handle this. You just focus on
1:41:41recovering at home. As soon as Su Yaming
1:41:44ended the call, she remembered Sumu had
1:41:46also seen the trending post and was
1:41:49calling her questioning her about the
1:41:51trending scandal. Once her phone finally
1:41:53went silent, she registered a Waybo
1:41:55account and made the first post of her
1:41:57life. Lu Jennian once saved my life. My
1:42:02care for him has always been like that
1:42:04for a younger brother. As for crossing
1:42:06the line, I've only ever done that with
1:42:07Guyoming and will only ever do so with
1:42:10him. Right after Su Yaming posted that,
1:42:12Lu Jinian studio quickly followed up
1:42:14with a clarification post. Lu Jinian had
1:42:17been refreshing Waybo non-stop and
1:42:19noticed Su Yaming's post the moment it
1:42:21went up. Seeing that, Su Yamin had
1:42:24placed him in the role of a younger
1:42:25brother and even publicly showed
1:42:27affection to someone else. He was
1:42:29instantly devastated. In the novel, it
1:42:31clearly said that the man in his heart
1:42:33was the young lady. So why after
1:42:36replacing the lady, was he only
1:42:38acknowledged as a younger brother? Lu
1:42:40Jinian stared at his phone. His eyes
1:42:42bloodshot. Meanwhile, in the hospital
1:42:44room, my dad's high blood pressure had
1:42:46stabilized. And after a nap, he was
1:42:48discharged and taken home. I stayed with
1:42:50my parents the whole time. It wasn't
1:42:52until I returned to the Gu family home
1:42:54that I took out my phone. I was stunned
1:42:56to see the trending post. Curious, I
1:42:58couldn't help but tap on it. After
1:42:59reading it, I was utterly speechless. A
1:43:01heart that stayed cold for 7 years. How
1:43:04long has it been? And now everyone
1:43:05believes that Su Yamin is madly in love
1:43:08with me. As expected, when bad people do
1:43:10one good thing, the public looks at them
1:43:12in a new light and forgets all the
1:43:15wrongs they did before. Su Yaming
1:43:17messaged me. Did you see my Waybo post?
1:43:21If you did, leave a comment or
1:43:23something. Since Su Yaming made the
1:43:25first move, I had no choice but to
1:43:27respond eventually. So, I said nothing.
1:43:29Just did exactly what she wanted. I can
1:43:31forgive you, but tonight you better
1:43:33serve me well when you get home. In the
1:43:35comment section, Netzens were all saying
1:43:37I was getting cocky again. I just knew
1:43:40people love a good drama. I didn't
1:43:42expect netizens to be so helpful seeing
1:43:44Su Yaming being roasted over the flames.
1:43:47I was very satisfied. Let's see if she
1:43:49still dares to pull me into her act
1:43:51again. Just as I was about to put away
1:43:53my phone, Su Yaming sent me a message.
1:43:56Did you mean what you said? I froze for
1:43:58a moment, regretting it. Wasn't I just
1:44:00playing along with your act? Then Su
1:44:02Yaming sent a voice message in a
1:44:04flirtatious tone. Come home early
1:44:06tonight. I quickly typed a reply. My
1:44:09parents won't let me go home. Su Yaming
1:44:12replied in a commanding tone like a
1:44:13doineering CEO. Be home before 5. I was
1:44:16so mad I wanted to kick someone. Gui
1:44:18Dong Wo. And when Shujan had seen the
1:44:20trending waybo post showing my
1:44:22interaction with Su Yaming, they came
1:44:24over and sat beside me, one on each
1:44:26side, my mom began to persuade me, "Hey
1:44:29Oming, are you planning to forgive Su
1:44:30Yaming?" My dad added, "There are
1:44:33millions of women in the world. What's
1:44:35so great about her? Once you divorce,
1:44:37Dad will arrange it. I'll set up blind
1:44:38dates with rich daughters from all over
1:44:40the city. We'll find one every day until
1:44:43we find someone better than her." My
1:44:45eyes lit up. Dad, are you serious? When
1:44:48has dad ever lied to you once you get
1:44:50divorced? Dad, I'll throw you a grand
1:44:52divorce party. By then, we'll invite all
1:44:56the eligible bacheloretses for you. You
1:44:58can choose whichever one you like. In my
1:45:00heart, I was both thrilled and anxious.
1:45:03With such a great opportunity, not being
1:45:05able to get divorced really is
1:45:07frustrating. Dad, when I do get
1:45:08divorced, you better keep your word. But
1:45:11for now, I plan to give her one more
1:45:13chance. After I said that, I fell into
1:45:15deep thought again. The Gu family no
1:45:17longer needs to give the Sue family any
1:45:19resources or privileges. We'll treat
1:45:21them exactly as they deserve. I don't
1:45:24know if Su Yamin is sincere or if she's
1:45:26doing this for the Sue
1:45:28Corporation. Lu Jin stared at the phone
1:45:30screen. Watching Su Yaming and Guu
1:45:34Hayoming interacts Wheatly online. His
1:45:36expression grew uglier and uglier. The
1:45:39sound of a car engine came from outside.
1:45:41He quickly grabbed a mirror and fixed
1:45:43his hair and clothes. Leaning on a cane,
1:45:46he limped out of the room. Ding-dong.
1:45:49The doorbell rang. Lumu opened the door.
1:45:52Standing. There was a woman dressed in
1:45:54luxury, accompanied by several
1:45:56bodyguards in black. They stood at the
1:45:58door, imposing and aggressive. May I ask
1:46:01who you are? I'm Su Yamin's mother. Lumu
1:46:04let out a sigh of relief and quickly
1:46:06stepped aside to let her into the
1:46:07cramped living room. She looked around
1:46:10in disdain, and her gaze finally landed
1:46:12on Lu Jinian. Annie Lu Jingian forced a
1:46:15smile. Before he could finish his words,
1:46:18she interrupted coldly. I'm here to warn
1:46:21you. Madame Su looked down at him
1:46:23condescendingly. Over the years, my
1:46:25daughter has helped you and your mother
1:46:27a lot. I've kept silent out of pity for
1:46:29you too. She stepped closer, her eyes
1:46:32sharp. But now that your life is getting
1:46:34better, you've forgotten who you are.
1:46:37How dare you go after my daughter. Lu
1:46:39Jingian leaned on his cane. Listen
1:46:42carefully. Our Sue family only
1:46:43recognizes Ju Homin as a son-in-law. If
1:46:46I catch you pestering Yamin again, I'll
1:46:48make sure you and your mother crawl back
1:46:50to the slums. As soon as the topic
1:46:52trended, she knew the Guy angry this
1:46:55time. She immediately scolded her
1:46:57daughter, then turned and called Wujun
1:47:00to apologize. But when Shujan was firm,
1:47:03"Your daughter openly embraced another
1:47:05man right in front of us and walked away
1:47:08proudly. It made my husband so angry his
1:47:10blood pressure spiked. Even if Haoming
1:47:13wants to forgive her, we won't agree so
1:47:15easily. To quell the anger, she had no
1:47:18choice but to come to this poor boy, a
1:47:20guy from a bear household with a father
1:47:22still in prison. How could someone like
1:47:24that be worthy of entering the Sue
1:47:26family's door? After dropping those
1:47:27harsh words, she didn't want to stay
1:47:29even a minute longer. As soon as she got
1:47:31in the car, she called me. I was already
1:47:33upset about going home, but when I saw
1:47:35the call, I answered right away. Hey,
1:47:38mom bought some durian for you. That
1:47:40girl must kneel until your anger
1:47:42subsides. I gave a bitter laugh and
1:47:44said, "Mom, forget it. She's just taking
1:47:46advantage of the fact that I like her to
1:47:48keep bullying dad. Mom doesn't even let
1:47:50me come home anymore. Just wait. Mom
1:47:52will stand up for you." Lu Jinn and
1:47:54stood at the window watching the car
1:47:56drive away. He turned and asked his
1:47:59mother to call Suin, then exaggerated
1:48:01and embellished everything that had
1:48:03happened today.
1:48:05Lumu stood outside the hospital room,
1:48:07her fingers swiping repeatedly on her
1:48:09phone screen. She only has one son.
1:48:11They've depended on each other since he
1:48:13was young. Even though she knows
1:48:15interfering in someone else's
1:48:16relationship is wrong. Seeing her son
1:48:18returned from the brink of death, she
1:48:20only wants to make him happy. Ever since
1:48:22your mom left, he's locked himself in
1:48:24his room. No matter how I call him, he
1:48:27won't open the door. Lumu finally dialed
1:48:29Su Yamin's number. He's very proud. I'm
1:48:32worried he might do something rash.
1:48:34Inside the hospital room, Lu Jingian
1:48:36leaned against the bed head, replaying
1:48:38Madame Su<unk>s words. His nails dug
1:48:40deeply into his palms. Half an hour
1:48:42later, his phone vibrated. Su Yaming
1:48:45sent a message. Don't worry about what
1:48:47my mom said to you. I'll handle it. You
1:48:50just focus on getting better. He stared
1:48:52at the screen intensely, his fingertips
1:48:54pale. But in the book, it clearly said
1:48:57he was the one Su Yaming cared about the
1:48:58most. And now all he got was a
1:49:01prefuncter message. At the same time, Su
1:49:04Yamin had just put down her phone. When
1:49:06her mother called, "Your father and I
1:49:09are at the Gu. Come over immediately.
1:49:11We're in the Gu family living room."
1:49:14Madame Su directed. As the driver
1:49:16carried in a box of carefully selected
1:49:18durian and gifts, while Guu Dong Wo, and
1:49:20when Shujan sat with cold faces, Madame
1:49:23Su skillfully put on a smile. It's all a
1:49:25misunderstanding between in-laws. This
1:49:27time I'll make sure she properly
1:49:29apologizes to Haomi. When Shujun snorted
1:49:31coldly, you know very well what kind of
1:49:34person your daughter is. In the past 2
1:49:36years, when has she ever sincerely
1:49:38apologized? We tolerated her again and
1:49:40again only because our son likes her and
1:49:43your attitude when apologizing was
1:49:45decent. But this time it's just too
1:49:46much. It's all a misunderstanding. She's
1:49:49already posted online saying they're
1:49:50getting married, but there's nothing
1:49:52going on with that person. She just
1:49:53wants to live happily with Haomi. just
1:49:55went and warned that man too. I munched
1:49:57on sunflower seeds, too lazy to think
1:49:59about why Su Yaming wouldn't divorce, I
1:50:01just wondered how to stop her from
1:50:03threatening Hyoming again. Seeing when
1:50:04Shujan sour expression, Madam Sue asked
1:50:07the driver to bring in a box of durian.
1:50:09Mom picked these durian herself. The
1:50:11thorns are super sharp. Let her kneel on
1:50:13any one of them later. Looking at five
1:50:15or six durian, even though Madame Sue
1:50:17just wanted the Gu family's power, I
1:50:19appreciated the sincerity. Half an hour
1:50:21later, Su Yamin arrived touched. As soon
1:50:24as he walked in, she saw a row of durian
1:50:26neatly lined up on the floor of the
1:50:28hall. You brat. What are you standing
1:50:29there for? Hurry over here. Madam Sue
1:50:32scolded while dragging her over to
1:50:33apologize. Su Yaming glanced at me.
1:50:36Guango<unk>s face darkened. What are you
1:50:38looking at him for? Still hoping he'll
1:50:40speak up for you. When Shujun said
1:50:41coldly, "If you don't like my son, just
1:50:43get a divorce. We won't stop you." Madam
1:50:46Su hurried to explain. It's all a
1:50:48misunderstanding. She just has a bad
1:50:50temper. But to say she doesn't like
1:50:51Homing, that's absolutely not true. They
1:50:54were even planning to have a baby
1:50:56recently. Su Yamin suddenly grabbed my
1:50:58hand. Dad, Mom, I had a bad attitude
1:51:00before, but now Hyomin and I have a
1:51:03great relationship. I'll treat him well
1:51:05from now on. Gui Dongw snorted coldly.
1:51:08Anyone can say sweet things. This
1:51:10morning, we saw it with our own eyes.
1:51:12How can we believe you? Madam Su
1:51:14immediately said, pick a durian to kneel
1:51:16on. Hey, Omen, help her choose someone
1:51:18like Su Yamin. Who cares? so much about
1:51:20pride. How could she possibly kneel on
1:51:22durians in public? Of course, I
1:51:24understood Madame Sue's intentions. She
1:51:26knew I couldn't bear to let Su Yaming be
1:51:28humiliated in public. Su Yaming squeezed
1:51:30my hand tightly. Her eyes filled with
1:51:32warning. Sure enough. I immediately
1:51:34diffused the situation. How about he
1:51:37kneels when we get home? Our parents
1:51:39chimed in right away. Look at my memory.
1:51:41You young people and your emotions.
1:51:43Close the door and do whatever you want.
1:51:45If he doesn't kneel, let me know. Gui
1:51:48Dong Wo snorted. The Sue family is
1:51:50playing us when Shujan backed him up. My
1:51:54son likes you so much and you won't even
1:51:56show this bit of sincerity. Do you
1:51:57really deserve to say you like him?
1:51:59Madam Sue quickly smooths things over.
1:52:01It's all a misunderstanding between
1:52:03families. Let Hiomin take a photo then
1:52:05send it to you. It's just some playful
1:52:07drama between a young couple. Kneeling
1:52:09in front of everyone is inappropriate.
1:52:11Guo glared at Su Yaming with disdain. If
1:52:14we don't see the photo, the Sue family
1:52:16can forget about entering the Gu family
1:52:18again. When Shujan added, "Hey Oming, if
1:52:20you fall for her again, don't bother
1:52:23coming home." I nodded repeatedly.
1:52:25"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I'll
1:52:27definitely take a photo for you this
1:52:28time." Su Yaming pinched my hand again.
1:52:31And just like that, the matter was
1:52:33settled. I happily took Su Yaming by the
1:52:35hand and left. The Gu family servants
1:52:38immediately brought the durian out.
1:52:40Then, without any courtesy, escorted
1:52:42Madame Su out. They didn't even invite
1:52:44her to stay for a meal. I had just
1:52:46gotten in the car. When my phone rang, a
1:52:48message popped up in the group chat of
1:52:50three. How do we do with our performance
1:52:52just now? I immediately replied with
1:52:54three thumbs up emojis. Should we go do
1:52:56a guest appearance at the film set
1:52:57sometime? When Shujun instantly replied,
1:52:59"Can I come too?" I typed back with a
1:53:01smile, "Of course you can. I'll take you
1:53:03with me the day after tomorrow." Guong
1:53:05Wo immediately objected. Nonsense. If
1:53:07your mom goes to act, what about me? Su
1:53:10Yaming was driving. She could hear my
1:53:12phone vibrating non-stop. Out of the
1:53:14corner of her eye, she saw the smile
1:53:16lifting the corners of my lips. I
1:53:18suddenly felt a little bitter inside. In
1:53:20the past, whenever she was around, all
1:53:22my attention would be on her. But now,
1:53:25when Su Yaming asked what I wanted for
1:53:27dinner, I gave her a mocking look. Does
1:53:29someone being threatened still get to
1:53:31choose? While waiting at a red light, Su
1:53:33Yaming turned and looked at me deeply.
1:53:35All you feel is being threatened. I kept
1:53:38a cold, emotionless face. The honking
1:53:40from the car behind cut the conversation
1:53:42short. At the supermarket, she insisted
1:53:45on dragging me to buy groceries and
1:53:46pretend to be loving. I really couldn't
1:53:48take it. Can't we just eat out? Su
1:53:50Yaming gently said, "Didn't you say
1:53:52before that you wanted to eat food I
1:53:54cooked? I was stunned for a moment,
1:53:56remembering the days I was forced to
1:53:58cook. Out of revenge, I purposely picked
1:54:01complicated dishes like spicy crayfish
1:54:03and boiled fish. Brazed pork." When she
1:54:06saw me finally smile, Su Yamin's mood
1:54:09lifted. She suddenly leaned over and
1:54:11kissed me. I was stunned on the spot.
1:54:13Completely lost the mood to pick out
1:54:15groceries. Back at home, I had just
1:54:17tried to sneak back to my room when she
1:54:18called out, "Where are you going? Come
1:54:21help me." I forced a smile through
1:54:23clench teeth. "Can I say no?" Su Yaming
1:54:25flatly rejected no. I resisted the urge
1:54:28to curse out loud. Reluctantly, I
1:54:30followed her into the kitchen. Wash the
1:54:32vegetables for me. Pass me a plate. Tie
1:54:35on the apron. Get the soy sauce, light
1:54:38soy sauce, and sichuan peppercorns. I
1:54:41finally got it. Su Yaming was clearly
1:54:43doing this to keep me busy. Just as I
1:54:45took out my phone to scroll a bit, she
1:54:47kept bossing me around non-stop. Even
1:54:49though the condiments were right next to
1:54:51her, she insisted I pass them. There was
1:54:53no way I was getting anything done on my
1:54:55phone. I couldn't take it anymore and
1:54:57put my phone down. Might as well just
1:54:59stand by and hand her ingredients. Su
1:55:01Yaming glanced at me sideways. finally
1:55:04quieted down for a brief moment. For a
1:55:06moment, I actually thought she was
1:55:08trying to get my attention on purpose.
1:55:10But just as that hopelessly romantic
1:55:12thought popped up, I immediately shut it
1:55:14down. After dinner, I hid back in my
1:55:17room. It used to be my room alone, but
1:55:20now Su Yamine had forcibly taken over
1:55:22half of it. Her clothes were stuffed
1:55:25into the wardrobe. After showering, I
1:55:28could finally scroll on my phone in
1:55:29peace. But then I saw the top trending
1:55:32search hashtag
1:55:34# waiting for Shenjun. The comments
1:55:36under the hashtag were exploding. Isn't
1:55:39it late already? Has Su Yaming knelt
1:55:41yet? Definitely not. If she had, we'd
1:55:44have seen a Waybo post. My deas were
1:55:46also flooded. Everyone was asking
1:55:48whether Su Yamine had actually knelt on
1:55:51roses or durian. On a whim, I started a
1:55:54live stream then posted the link on
1:55:55Waybo. The gossip crowd flocked in
1:55:57instantly. The live stream room was
1:55:59overwhelmed in seconds. Comments were
1:56:01flooding the screen. Are we really going
1:56:03to see Su Yaming kneel on Darian's lip?
1:56:05Durian, where's Su Yaming? Fingers ready
1:56:09prepping to screenshot. Heard Su Yaming
1:56:11was going to kneel on Durian. Had to
1:56:13come witness it. But the reality was the
1:56:17durian were still in the car. Su Yaming
1:56:19didn't plan on bringing them home at
1:56:21all. Forget live streaming the kneeling.
1:56:23Even if she knelt in private for me
1:56:25alone, both sets of parents would
1:56:28probably have to lecture her all over
1:56:30again. The live stream view count shot
1:56:31up from thousands to tens of thousands.
1:56:33I finally spoke. You guys are being
1:56:35ridiculous. Would I really start a live
1:56:38stream for something so dumb? Any
1:56:39viewers from Juicy City? Today's live
1:56:42stream is just for you. The comments
1:56:44exploded again. Here we go again. Are
1:56:47you about to say there's an earthquake
1:56:48in Juicy again? I laughed reading the
1:56:50comments. Today is all about showering
1:56:53Jushi with love. Friends in Jui help
1:56:55spread the word. Anyone coming from
1:56:57Juushi in the next couple days for
1:56:59travel with a train ticket or plane
1:57:01ticket can stay at a hotel under the
1:57:03Guushi group for free. It even includes
1:57:05buffet meals. The comments exploded. No
1:57:08way is this for real. I'm packing my
1:57:10bags right now. People in Jushi are so
1:57:13lucky. The live stream view count
1:57:15surpassed 100,000. Netzens in Jushi went
1:57:17crazy reposting. Suddenly, I felt a bit
1:57:20proud. What's going on? Nizens from
1:57:22neighboring cities got anxious. If I go
1:57:24to Jushi now, will I make it in time? I
1:57:27added, as long as you're departing from
1:57:29Jushi in the next 2 days, you'll get
1:57:31days of free accommodation. Come
1:57:33experience the local customs of Xi. Of
1:57:36course, you're also welcome to visit
1:57:38other cities. The world is so big. Take
1:57:40your family and go explore. Just don't
1:57:42stay in Jushi. What do you mean don't
1:57:45stay in Jushi? Are you saying there will
1:57:47really be an earthquake? What the heck?
1:57:50I use the free perks to lure Jushi
1:57:51residents out. This level of sincerity
1:57:53doesn't seem like a joke. Could it be
1:57:55she really can predict earthquakes?
1:57:57Residents of Jui completely changed
1:57:59their attitude from skepticism to
1:58:01nervousness. I couldn't say anything to
1:58:03definitive. I just said I noticed signs
1:58:05of an earthquake and wanted to remind
1:58:07everyone to prepare. If nothing happens,
1:58:09great. But if it does, this might be a
1:58:11life-saving chance. Guong Wo suddenly
1:58:13entered the live stream. Luxury gift
1:58:15effects filled the screen. She then sent
1:58:18a message. The hotels are already
1:58:19arranged. Check our official account for
1:58:22details. Friends from Guushi are welcome
1:58:24to come travel and she I hadn't even
1:58:26contacted her. She already had
1:58:27everything sorted out. I immediately
1:58:29pinned that message to the top. Just
1:58:31then, Morangian also joined. She just
1:58:33spammed gifts and left a message. Anyone
1:58:36who comes to Jui will get a signed photo
1:58:37from
1:58:38me. Fans instantly went wild. I want
1:58:42one. But then something unexpected
1:58:44happened. Sue Yaming came through the
1:58:46door carrying a box of durian. I was
1:58:48live streaming by the window. Just as I
1:58:50got up to grab water, the camera
1:58:52happened to catch the doorway. Millions
1:58:54of viewers witnessed the scene live. The
1:58:56comments exploded. Oh my god, she
1:58:58carried the durian herself. So many
1:59:00durian and she carried them herself to
1:59:02Neil. Guyoming status at home must be
1:59:05sky-high. The iconic scene of the
1:59:06billionaire CEO kneeling on durian. I
1:59:09had just finished drinking water. Turned
1:59:10around and saw Sue Yaming walking in
1:59:13with a box of durian. I was so shocked I
1:59:15almost spat out my water. What are you
1:59:17do? Dot. I quickly took another sip to
1:59:20calm myself. Su Yaming looked at me
1:59:22coldly. Didn't you say you wanted to see
1:59:24someone do a headstand and he
1:59:26hearing the word come out of her
1:59:27mouth. This time I really spat my water
1:59:30out. I looked up and saw her pull out a
1:59:32durian. Will this do? Su Yamin was
1:59:35clearly offering herself up. I wiped my
1:59:37mouth and came to my senses. Then
1:59:39remembered we were alive. She was
1:59:41already kneeling on the durian. happy
1:59:43now. Thinking about how the whole
1:59:44internet was watching her kneel on
1:59:46durian. I tried to hold back my
1:59:47laughter, my lips twitching. The comment
1:59:50section exploded. A full-on public
1:59:51embarrassment scene. I held back my
1:59:53laughter and stayed silent. Su Yaming
1:59:55kept a stray face and told me to keep
1:59:57kneeling. I innocently pointed at my
1:59:59phone. Um, I'm live streaming. Su Yaming
2:00:02looks at her phone. Her expression
2:00:04gradually darkens. She gets up and turns
2:00:07off the live stream. The comment section
2:00:09explodes when Shujun finally feels
2:00:11vindicated.
2:00:12Lu Jin watches the live stream on his AL
2:00:15account. Furiously throws his phone. He
2:00:17actually fell in love with her. But in
2:00:19the book, he clearly didn't love her and
2:00:21he died tragically, too. Why is the
2:00:23class group chat exploding now? Messages
2:00:26keep coming in. 99 plus notifications
2:00:28with fire emojis and swords. The cold
2:00:31school beauty Su Yaming actually knelt
2:00:33on durian for Guyoming in public. She
2:00:35used to never even spare Guyoming a
2:00:38glance. Now she must be possessed.
2:00:40Everyone in the group chat is talking.
2:00:42Guiu Hyoming also seems like a changed
2:00:44person. Used to be completely selfish.
2:00:46Now he's even helping strangers for
2:00:48free. But soon someone threw cold water
2:00:50on it. He's still
2:00:52brainless. This time he's going to get
2:00:54into big trouble. The whole company will
2:00:56have to clean up his mess. At that
2:00:58moment in a luxury suite, Su Yaning
2:01:01blocks me at the table. I force a smile
2:01:03and pretend to be innocent, but it's not
2:01:05my fault. How was I supposed to know
2:01:07you'd actually kneel? She stares at me
2:01:09intensely. Her chest heaves with rage.
2:01:11The shame of kneeling on durian in a
2:01:13live stream leaves her humiliated and
2:01:16furious. But seeing how smug I look, she
2:01:18suddenly can't bring herself to explode.
2:01:21Her stare gives me the chills. Blame
2:01:23yourself for kneeling too quickly.
2:01:25Before I can finish speaking, she
2:01:26suddenly leans in. Are you happy now? I
2:01:29sneer. Happy my ass. If I hadn't forced
2:01:32you, would you have knelt? Her eyes
2:01:34darken. I went shopping and cooked with
2:01:36you on purpose. Even knelt on durian to
2:01:39please you and all you saw was me
2:01:41threatening you, President G. Then what
2:01:43else? If you love someone, would you
2:01:46force them to do things they hate? I
2:01:48adored you for so many years and you say
2:01:50you never like me. Before I can finish,
2:01:53she cuts me
2:01:54off. Su Yaming kisses me. I don't push
2:01:58her away. My chin rest on her shoulder.
2:02:00After a while, she pulled away,
2:02:02pretending nothing happened. I casually
2:02:05opened my phone in the happy family
2:02:07group chat there when Shujun sent a
2:02:10bunch of memes made by netzens. Everyone
2:02:13was gossiping happily. I reminded them
2:02:15to sleep early. Blood in the night sent
2:02:17a message all filled with memes of su
2:02:20yaming kneeling on durians. I was
2:02:22speechless. Spent a million just to see
2:02:24this. She replied that she would report
2:02:27any kind of gossip. Then sent a photo of
2:02:30me and Morang Yin coming out of her
2:02:32room. That day I was just visiting while
2:02:34waiting for her to wake up and that
2:02:37counts as gossip. Blood in the night
2:02:39continued. What about her husband
2:02:41cheating? I ended the conversation in
2:02:43anger. Logged on to Waybo and saw a
2:02:46spike in followers. Apparently netizens
2:02:48were sharing posts about the free hotel
2:02:50offered by story and its dining
2:02:52standards. Originally it was meant to be
2:02:54earthquake related PR. Didn't expect it
2:02:57to be so effective. When I woke up the
2:02:59next day, A is coming was trending.
2:03:02Netzens posted their plane and train
2:03:04tickets. Thousands were preparing to
2:03:07come completely beyond expectations. I
2:03:10quickly called Boer. Too many people are
2:03:12coming to the city. We have to act fast.
2:03:15Will the hotels even have enough rooms.
2:03:18Su Yaming came out of the kitchen and
2:03:20saw me rushing downstairs making a call.
2:03:23Seeing I hadn't noticed her at all, she
2:03:26walked straight out without calling me.
2:03:29Only then did I see her stop.
2:03:32Seeing her walk toward me, I quickly
2:03:34said something to Gur and hung up the
2:03:36call. Why are you in such a hurry? Su
2:03:39Yamin asked. Going to help at the hotel.
2:03:41Before bed last night, Su Yamin saw her
2:03:44durian kneeling moment trending and also
2:03:46read news of me predicting the
2:03:48earthquake. Something even professional
2:03:50earthquake monitoring couldn't do. Yet,
2:03:52I somehow predicted it. She thought it
2:03:54was absurd. But Gur and Morang Yan were
2:03:57both up and even joined in my free
2:03:59welfare campaign. Now even I have to go
2:04:02help in person. Su Yaming didn't say
2:04:05much. She pulled me to the dining room
2:04:07to eat first. After eating, I'll take
2:04:10you there. I sent a message to Gore.
2:04:12After breakfast, Su Yaming dropped me
2:04:14off at the Gu Hotel, then headed to the
2:04:17office. Just entering the building, she
2:04:19heard the employees gossiping. Who would
2:04:22have thought President Sue? Who scolds
2:04:24us daily? Actually, meals on durian at
2:04:26home. Now I'm scared. I'll laugh just
2:04:28seeing her. Everyone was sharing memes
2:04:30of her in the group last night. Send
2:04:32them to me quick. I'll look at them next
2:04:34time she yells. Noticing Su Yaming had
2:04:36arrived. Everyone's expressions
2:04:38instantly changed and they quickly
2:04:40scattered. Su Yaming walked in with a
2:04:42stern face. People kept sneaking glances
2:04:45at her along the way. The stairs didn't
2:04:47stop until she entered her office. She
2:04:49wasn't sure if it was just her
2:04:50imagination, but during the meeting, she
2:04:53noticed everyone was holding back
2:04:55laughter. Her assistant entered with
2:04:56documents. Even she couldn't help but
2:04:59smile. "What are you smiling at?" Su
2:05:01Yaming shot a cold glare. The assistant
2:05:04immediately straightened her lips and
2:05:05stopped smiling. Why is the trending
2:05:07topic I asked you to remove last night
2:05:09still there? Sue Yaming leaned back, her
2:05:12gaze even colder. President Sue, it's
2:05:15already gone viral. Even money can't
2:05:17suppress it. The assistant looked down,
2:05:19ringing her hands, her voice getting
2:05:21smaller. If the trend doesn't drop now,
2:05:23honestly, it's actually good for the
2:05:25company and for you.
2:05:27Good thing Su Yaming sneered coldly. The
2:05:30whole internet knows your family is
2:05:31loving and happy. Both companies stock
2:05:34prices have hit the limit up thinking of
2:05:36how nonchalant I looked. She clenched
2:05:38her fists. Before noon at the story
2:05:40hotel, hundreds of tourists had already
2:05:43arrived in the city. Online reviews were
2:05:45overwhelmingly positive. The promotional
2:05:47campaign exceeded expectations. Looks
2:05:49like I really have to go in person. So,
2:05:51I personally took charge and started
2:05:53directing. Not a single mistake can be
2:05:55allowed. Everyone in the hotel was
2:05:57rushing around non-stop. Complaints were
2:05:59popping up everywhere. I came back from
2:06:02the restroom and overheard employees
2:06:04complaining. One word from the young
2:06:06master and we're running our legs off.
2:06:08Even with money, you can't waste it like
2:06:10this. Two days of free service. Not only
2:06:12exhausting, but the hotel might lose a
2:06:15million. I stood outside the door
2:06:17listening without the slightest
2:06:18reaction. What boss hasn't been cursed
2:06:21by their employees? I walked in
2:06:23casually, calmly washing my hands at the
2:06:26sink with a kind smile on my face. Do a
2:06:29good job. Bonuses will be given at
2:06:31months end. After saying that, I turned
2:06:34and walked away. Silence fell behind me.
2:06:36They were probably all scared stiff.
2:06:38Back in the office, Morang Yan was
2:06:40slumped in a chair. In front of her was
2:06:42a pile of signed photos. Her hand was
2:06:45almost ruined. When she saw me come in,
2:06:47her eyes lit up. Hey, bro. My hand hurts
2:06:50so much. I twisted open a bottle of
2:06:52water and shot her a cold glance. You
2:06:55deserved it. She looked at me pitifully.
2:06:57You've changed. You're so gentle to
2:06:58others, but so cruel to me. I couldn't
2:07:01be bothered to reply. Pulled out my
2:07:03phone. Saw a message from Su Yaming. If
2:07:05Guamil family's hotel is full, we can
2:07:08arrange guests in the Sue family's
2:07:09hotels. I gave a cold sneer. This is a
2:07:12great chance for the Gu family to shine.
2:07:14There's no way I'm sharing the
2:07:16spotlight. I outright rejected the
2:07:17suggestion. At 3 p.m. the official story
2:07:20account suddenly posted a bombshell
2:07:22announcement and the hotel rooms were
2:07:25almost fully booked. But don't worry, we
2:07:27also have chain hotels in other cities.
2:07:30All will be provided for free. As soon
2:07:32as the news dropped, the internet
2:07:34completely blew up. Those who couldn't
2:07:36make it were frustrated by the distance.
2:07:38Nizens immediately began booking rooms
2:07:40in other cities. Story's reputation kept
2:07:43skyrocketing. At first, only the city's
2:07:45tourism bureau was secretly delighted.
2:07:47Now, other cities were all overjoyed,
2:07:49too. They all began featuring story
2:07:51hotels in their promo videos. In just
2:07:54half a day, story hotels became famous
2:07:56nationwide. But the hottest topic was
2:07:59still, after all, only here could you
2:08:01get an autographed photo of Morang Yan.
2:08:03By around 5 or 6:00 in the afternoon,
2:08:05all the rooms in a city were almost
2:08:07booked. I originally planned to pay and
2:08:09arrange guests to stay at other hotels
2:08:11to boost goodwill towards story, but
2:08:14unexpectedly Su Yaming suddenly stepped
2:08:16in. She posted on Waybo. If story is
2:08:19full, our sushi hotel will also
2:08:21accommodate guests for free. Well,
2:08:23great. Jingha Su Yaming Juing playing
2:08:25the supportive husband. Jinghao
2:08:27immediately shot to the top of the
2:08:28trending list. Netzens were praising how
2:08:31considerate she was, but I was furious.
2:08:33This was clearly a carefully planned
2:08:35marketing move by me and she just rode
2:08:37the wave. I was angrily smashing my
2:08:39phone. When Sue Yaming called me and
2:08:42came over, two outsiders, she looked
2:08:44like a thoughtful and caring wife.
2:08:46Personally coming to pick me up, but I
2:08:48knew she was calculating something. The
2:08:50moment I got in the car, I had a dark
2:08:52face and said coldly, "Why didn't I
2:08:55realize before you're so good at riding
2:08:56trends?" Suit Yaming gripped the
2:08:58steering wheel tightly. Her gaze was
2:09:00complex. She looked at me and said, "You
2:09:03think I did it to chase clout?" She had
2:09:04told me long ago that if reception
2:09:07became difficult, we could send people
2:09:08to the Sue family's hotels. During a
2:09:10business meeting in the afternoon, she
2:09:12accidentally overheard people saying
2:09:14that Story Hotel was full and guest had
2:09:17to be paid to go elsewhere. Those people
2:09:19mocked me for being stupid, saying I was
2:09:22creating trouble for story, so she
2:09:24stepped in to help on her own, but I
2:09:26just assumed she was stealing the
2:09:27spotlight. I sneered. What else would it
2:09:30be? Su Yamin<unk>s eyes were burning
2:09:32into me, as if she wanted to see right
2:09:34through me. That gaze was too
2:09:35overpowering. It made me feel like I was
2:09:38the heartless one. I let out a cold
2:09:40laugh and turned to look out the window.
2:09:43Su Yamin<unk>s throat moved slightly,
2:09:45whichever she wanted to say was
2:09:47swallowed back under my attitude. When
2:09:50we got home, I got out of the car and
2:09:52left, completely ignoring her like she
2:09:54was air. Suddenly, she called out to me.
2:09:56I put away my phone and turned to look
2:09:58at her under the setting sun. She stood
2:10:00there and said in a tone that allowed no
2:10:03refusal, "Come here." I casually walked
2:10:05over. "What?" trying to threaten me
2:10:08again. "You said you'd listen to me."
2:10:09Our eyes met. My words were like knives
2:10:12stabbing into her heart. "Kiss me," Su
2:10:14Yamin suddenly said. I couldn't
2:10:17understand why this woman insisted on
2:10:18self torture. "Since she wanted it, of
2:10:21course, I'd oblige." Just as our lips
2:10:23met, she pulled away like she'd been
2:10:26dowsted with cold water. Su yaming. If
2:10:28you can't handle it, don't provoke me.
2:10:30She looked at me, breath ragged, seeing
2:10:33my clenched jaw. A trace of amusement
2:10:35actually flickered in her eyes. Didn't
2:10:37you say you didn't love me anymore? I
2:10:39rolled my eyes. I'm a normal person. I
2:10:42have normal needs. You know, I've been
2:10:44single for so many years. Even club
2:10:46girls make me emotional, let alone
2:10:48someone as decent looking as you. After
2:10:50saying that, I turned and went upstairs.
2:10:52Not wanting to stay even a second
2:10:53longer. Back in my room, I immediately
2:10:56messaged Gore. How's the video situation
2:10:58coming along? Gore replied quickly.
2:11:00Aside from Lu Jinian, there were still
2:11:02to others unaccounted for. They'd
2:11:04already increased manpower. Just two
2:11:06more, and I'll finally be free of
2:11:09danger. I suddenly felt a lot more
2:11:11relaxed. When I went to bed that night,
2:11:14Su Yaming leaned over to kiss me again.
2:11:16I couldn't take it anymore. Su Yaming,
2:11:19if you're not letting me sleep, then
2:11:21stop teasing me. She didn't care at all.
2:11:24She kept biting my lips. I asked risk
2:11:26one asterisk to tease you. I really
2:11:28couldn't stand this feeling of arousal
2:11:30without
2:11:31satisfaction. Su Yaming used half
2:11:33threats, half coaxing me to comply. From
2:11:36now on, you can do whatever you want.
2:11:38The meaning was clear. Obedience meant
2:11:40freedom. Disobedience meant continued
2:11:43control. I gritted my teeth and took the
2:11:45initiative instead thinking I could
2:11:47disgust her and end this
2:11:49sooner. But unexpectedly, the kiss
2:11:52turned intense and overwhelming. In a
2:11:54days, I actually felt like she truly
2:11:56loved me. Just as I was about to move
2:11:58further, Sue Yaming suddenly pushed me
2:12:00away and turned into the bathroom. I lay
2:12:03on the bed listening to the water,
2:12:05trying to calm down. Then she came back,
2:12:08pulled me again. I started wondering if
2:12:11she was testing the limits of human
2:12:13endurance. She stopped when I was
2:12:14degrossed out, then started again,
2:12:17completely ignoring how I felt. I was
2:12:20nearly driven insane with only one
2:12:22thought in mind. I really wanted to try
2:12:24seven times in one night. That night, I
2:12:26had a sex dream. I dreamed of torturing
2:12:29Su Yaming until she knelt and begged for
2:12:31mercy. The more she feared me, the more
2:12:33excited I got. Just as I was enjoying
2:12:35the revenge, a wave of heat surprised
2:12:38me. I opened my eyes to meet Su Yaming's
2:12:40burning gaze. She had been awake for a
2:12:43while, staring at me the whole time. Su
2:12:46Yaming pulled me into another round all
2:12:48night. She only let me go when the sun
2:12:50came up, dragging my exhausted body. I
2:12:53got out of bed, checked my phone. The
2:12:56whole internet was flooded with two
2:12:57pieces of news. There really had been a
2:12:59trigger earthquake. Guommen was hailed
2:13:02as the flame emperor, the official
2:13:04emergency account reported. Story group
2:13:05had donated 20 million worth of supplies
2:13:08to the disaster zone. Emergency experts
2:13:10collectively fell silent. The whole
2:13:12internet ogu hyoming an apology. The
2:13:15emergency comment section exploded. My
2:13:17waybo also blew up. Fans increased by
2:13:20over 1 million with 999 private
2:13:23messages. Even a government official
2:13:25said in an interview thanks to President
2:13:28Gu's warning. This time the casualties
2:13:30were greatly reduced compared to
2:13:32previous incidents. The praise
2:13:33escalated. They even named me the city's
2:13:35image
2:13:36ambassador. In the CEO's office at Sue
2:13:39Corporation, Su Yaming stared at the
2:13:41earthquake coverage on the news. Her
2:13:44fingers clenched unconsciously. She
2:13:46remembered how confident that Ma'am was
2:13:48in predicting the quake as if she had
2:13:50known all along it would happen. Her
2:13:53gaze
2:13:54darkened. Suddenly, her phone rang. It
2:13:57was Lu Mu's anxious voice, yaming. Can
2:14:01you come talk to Jinn? Ever since your
2:14:03mom visited, he's locked himself in his
2:14:06room. He hasn't eaten properly in
2:14:09today's. Half an hour later at the Lou
2:14:11family villa, Su Yamin stood outside Lu
2:14:13Jinian's room. She gently knocked on the
2:14:16door. Jinian, it's me, she said, pushing
2:14:19the door open. Lu Jinian was curled up
2:14:21at the head of the bed. Tear streaks
2:14:23visible on his pale face. His small
2:14:26figure under the blanket made him look
2:14:27painfully fragile. You shouldn't have
2:14:29come. if your mom finds out. He choked
2:14:32up, unable to finish, Su Yamin handed
2:14:35him a tissue and calmly said, "Don't
2:14:37worry. I've already talked to my mom."
2:14:40Looking at the man who once haunted her
2:14:42dreams and stayed in her heart, she
2:14:44surprisingly felt a hint of release.
2:14:46Last night's test had made everything
2:14:49clear. Those so-called feelings were
2:14:51nothing but youthful illusions. Yaming
2:14:54Ji Lu Jingian suddenly looked up. Have
2:14:57you noticed Guiu Hayomin has
2:14:59changed? The way he predicted the
2:15:01earthquake. It's like he already knew
2:15:03what would happen. Su Yamin<unk>s eyes
2:15:06flickered. Of course, she had noticed
2:15:08that man she used to
2:15:10loathe. Now made her unconsciously want
2:15:13to get closer. Lu Jinnian clenched his
2:15:15fist. A glint of unwillingness in his
2:15:17eyes. Why can Juu Hyoming foresee the
2:15:20future while what I see are just blurry
2:15:23fragments of life? Why is that man able
2:15:26to change fate so easily? Even Su Yamin
2:15:29is starting to change his opinion of
2:15:31him. Su Yamin looks at Lu Jinian, still
2:15:34remembering the bond from their
2:15:36childhood. Unwilling to think badly of
2:15:38him. He won't trouble you again. But
2:15:41don't you find it strange? Lu Jinian
2:15:43noticed Su Yammen's expression change.
2:15:46Unwilling to give up, he continued. Even
2:15:48if a person changes, they can't suddenly
2:15:50become
2:15:51omnipotent. I'm worried you're being
2:15:53deceived. What if someone is
2:15:55impersonating Guu Hey to stay close to
2:15:57you with ill intentions? I had no idea I
2:16:00was being labeled as a fake, an
2:16:02impostor. After scrolling on my phone, I
2:16:04felt hungry. I got up and went home to
2:16:07eat. The vibe in the rich wives group
2:16:08suddenly changed. Yesterday, they were
2:16:10mocking the Gu family for having a dumb
2:16:12sum behind their backs. Those socialite
2:16:15ladies who stirred up trouble daily all
2:16:17turned into flatterers today. When Shuen
2:16:19really became the center of attention.
2:16:22Shujan, your son is amazing. He's being
2:16:25praised all over the internet. Even the
2:16:27city leaders are commending him by name.
2:16:29He's bringing honor to your family. When
2:16:32should we schedule afternoon tea since
2:16:34hearing the recording? When Shujan had
2:16:36no interest in talking to them. When she
2:16:38saw me return, she directly declined.
2:16:40I'm spending the afternoon with my son
2:16:42and I'll bring Haomi along. We've all
2:16:44become his fans. By the way, could
2:16:47Morangin help get an autographed photo
2:16:48for my grandson? Forget it. when Shujun
2:16:52firmly refused. He doesn't like being
2:16:54around strangers. After saying that, she
2:16:57decisively put down her phone. I saw her
2:16:59grinning from ear to ear. What's making
2:17:01you so happy when Shujun pulled me to
2:17:03sit down, speaking animatedly. You have
2:17:06no idea what hypocrites those people
2:17:08are. Her every word was filled with
2:17:10pride. Even on Gdong's side, I've gained
2:17:14face because of this. That local thug we
2:17:16couldn't negotiate with before. He came
2:17:17to us on his own initiative. He even
2:17:19praised me to the skies. Gui Dong Wo was
2:17:22so happy that he transferred 20 million
2:17:24yuan of pocket money to me. Seeing that
2:17:27huge amount in my bank account, I felt
2:17:29an overwhelming sense of security. Looks
2:17:31like the Gu family signed another big
2:17:33deal today. No one expected that once
2:17:35the earthquake news broke, my image and
2:17:37popularity skyrocketed. The first batch
2:17:40of relief supplies sent by Guushi and
2:17:42the 30% discount for travelers in Guushi
2:17:45City won praise from netzens nationwide.
2:17:48Gucci's live stream suddenly exploded in
2:17:50popularity. Many people have supported
2:17:52Guushi for years, saying it's really
2:17:54affordable and practical. The streamers
2:17:56went all in before the product was fully
2:17:58introduced. Orders were already surging
2:18:00like crazy. Add 500 more orders to Link
2:18:03No. Five. Why is Link No. Three out of
2:18:06stock. Cosmetics are sold out. One day
2:18:08sales broke to 100 million. A
2:18:10record-breaking live stream miracle. Now
2:18:12I'm truly famous in the business world.
2:18:14Business owners everywhere are asking if
2:18:17the young master of the Gu family is
2:18:19taking over. Looking at the trending
2:18:20topics and soaring stocks, I had mixed
2:18:23feelings. This move seemed to overshadow
2:18:25HS's spotlight, and I even bought their
2:18:28stocks, hoping for a promotion while
2:18:30petting the cat and thinking of a plan.
2:18:32My phone suddenly rang. It was a message
2:18:34from Dark Knight sees blood. I opened
2:18:37it. Photos of Sai partying wildly at a
2:18:40club. Is that even considered a scandal?
2:18:43I'd be happy if he stayed out everyday
2:18:45and never came home to bug me. But
2:18:47reality proved I was being too
2:18:49optimistic. Sen was clearly intent on
2:18:51making my life miserable. I had just
2:18:53showered and was getting ready for bed.
2:18:55When she came back drunk, she stood at
2:18:58the door, staring straight at me. Her
2:19:00gaze was frighteningly unfamiliar.
2:19:02"You're not Guying," she said with a
2:19:05drunken tone. My heart skipped a beat.
2:19:07"You're drunk," I said, trying to stay
2:19:09calm. If I'm not guiling, then who else
2:19:12could I be? She said nothing. Suddenly,
2:19:14she kissed me. I pushed her drunken self
2:19:17away and told her to shower first, then
2:19:19help me wash. She smiled suggestively
2:19:22and check if I'm clean while you're at
2:19:24it. I was so mad I clenched my teeth. Do
2:19:26I have to sleep? Her gaze sharpened. Try
2:19:28someone else. I dare you. Then she
2:19:30firmly held me down, not giving me a
2:19:33chance to talk back. The next morning,
2:19:35sunlight poured through the curtains
2:19:37onto the bed. I rubbed my throbbing
2:19:39temples. Those scenes from last night. I
2:19:43couldn't stop thinking about them and
2:19:45that damn woman. I rolled over angrily,
2:19:47grinding my teeth, flirting and running
2:19:50off every day, leaving me to rely on
2:19:52dreams to satisfy cravings. This is
2:19:54torture. I picked up my phone. My Waybo
2:19:58followers had increased by over a
2:19:59million again. All the trending searches
2:20:01were about the latest earthquake news
2:20:03and Jushi. HX Group donated 20 million
2:20:05yuan, but it barely made a
2:20:08ripple. Meanwhile, Gucci Group's live
2:20:11stream had all products completely sold
2:20:14out. They even had to start pre-sales.
2:20:16Those free benefits tied to earthquake
2:20:18predictions boosted Guushi's reputation
2:20:21immensely. What surprised me more was
2:20:24that the surviving victims gathered
2:20:26outside Guushi Hotel on their own,
2:20:28filming videos to thank me. The scene
2:20:31looked like a fan meeting with a
2:20:32celebrity.
2:20:34Seeing the sincere smiles in the
2:20:36video, my emotions stirred. Back then, I
2:20:39did have some intent to advertise while
2:20:41helping, but in the end, people only
2:20:44remember the good I did. I casually gave
2:20:46a like to the trending video,
2:20:48commenting, I'm really not that great.
2:20:51But the comment section exploded
2:20:52instantly. Brother, how you are the
2:20:55best. No objections allowed. From now
2:20:58on, you're my real brother. That
2:21:00enthusiasm reminded me of my past life
2:21:02when my live streams couldn't even get
2:21:04three viewers in a whole month. How
2:21:06heartbreaking. I put on the newly bought
2:21:08HX clothes and started a live stream.
2:21:11I'm planning to flip HX's narrative
2:21:13around. After all, it's tens of millions
2:21:16in profit. The comments instantly
2:21:18flooded. Brother, how is here? Thank you
2:21:20for saving us. How much was the durian
2:21:23last time? Su Yamin waiting for the
2:21:26followup as the gift effects filled the
2:21:28screen. I shook my head with a smile.
2:21:31Life really is magical. I munched on
2:21:34Durian while waiting for fans to join
2:21:37the live stream, but the chat was filled
2:21:38with durian talk. No one noticed what I
2:21:42was wearing today. I couldn't help but
2:21:44roll my eyes. You're all just staring at
2:21:47the durian. Didn't notice how incredibly
2:21:49handsome I look today. If you say I'm
2:21:51not handsome, you're against me. The
2:21:54comments were immediately full of
2:21:55flattery. Brother, how is the most
2:21:58handsome in the world until Morangian
2:22:00entered the live stream? She sent a
2:22:02bunch of gifts and topped the
2:22:03leaderboard. Then send a comment.
2:22:06Brother, your outfit is special today. I
2:22:09immediately pinned that comment and
2:22:11casually replied, "Just something I
2:22:13threw on at home." Only then did the
2:22:15fans react, "Oh my god, brother, how is
2:22:18wearing HX? I just bought the same set a
2:22:21few days ago under 200
2:22:23yuan. Link, please." The chat exploded.
2:22:26200 yuan. That's cheap. Ajax quality is
2:22:30topnotch. It used to be everywhere on
2:22:32the streets. Why is it so hard to find
2:22:34now? I then shared all the brand stories
2:22:37recorded in the books. Turns out HX has
2:22:40quietly donated to disaster relief for
2:22:42years. Even while losing money
2:22:44continuously, they still gave their all
2:22:46whenever the country was in trouble.
2:22:48This time they donated another 20
2:22:50million in supplies. The chat exploded
2:22:52again. Brother House words are all true.
2:22:54My friend works at HS. The company is
2:22:57indeed struggling. This is what a
2:22:59conscientious business looks like.
2:23:01Foreign brands make tons and only donate
2:23:035 million. HF's live stream used to only
2:23:05have 100 viewers. The host was still
2:23:08seriously explaining each piece of
2:23:10clothing. Suddenly, the comments blew
2:23:12up. Host, I want the Guyoming outfit.
2:23:15The smalltime host quickly welcomed the
2:23:17new viewers. Guyoming outfit. She
2:23:19hurried to search on her phone. Too
2:23:21funny. She didn't even know I was
2:23:23wearing clothes from her brand. When the
2:23:25live stream showed I was wearing their
2:23:27product, the host was so excited her
2:23:29hands were shaking. Returning to the
2:23:31stream, she saw the comments exploding.
2:23:34She quickly apologized. Sorry everyone.
2:23:37I was streaming just now and didn't
2:23:39notice the news online. It's truly an
2:23:42honor that brother Guyoming is wearing
2:23:44our clothes. The comments went wild.
2:23:47Host, enough talk. Put up the product
2:23:50link. Link first, chat later. The viewer
2:23:53count of the live stream surpassed 2,000
2:23:55plus. The smalltime host had never seen
2:23:57anything like this before. Her palms
2:23:59were sweating nervously. She quickly
2:24:01posted the product link. This top is our
2:24:03featured item this season. Before she
2:24:06finished talking, the comments exploded
2:24:08again. It's sold out already. The host
2:24:11quickly apologized. So, sorry. All the
2:24:14inventory for Brother Haomi's outfit is
2:24:16gone. You can check out the other styles
2:24:19too. Even the flagship store is sold
2:24:21out. Guys, it's fine if you just buy the
2:24:24same brand. The important thing is it's
2:24:26recommended by Brother Hailing. In less
2:24:28than 30 minutes, tens of thousands of
2:24:30items sold out more than the total
2:24:32summer sales combined. Fans who didn't
2:24:35manage to buy were still complaining.
2:24:37News of this quickly reached the company
2:24:38executives. HX's official blog quickly
2:24:41posted, "We're honored that Guyomi wore
2:24:44our clothes. Thank you for the
2:24:46recognition. We're not worthy of being
2:24:48called a role model. There's still much
2:24:50room for improvement. We look forward to
2:24:52working together in the future. The live
2:24:55stream chat exploded once more. Brother,
2:24:57how are you secretly a celebrity?
2:25:00Everything you wear is now out of stock.
2:25:02I slowly nibbled on Durian. Is that so?
2:25:06Suddenly, gift effects filled the
2:25:07screen. Morang Yen sent a carnival gift.
2:25:11Morang Yen sent a sports car. Morang Yen
2:25:14sent a pumpkin carriage.
2:25:17Sis, you're here again? I said
2:25:19helplessly. Mang Yang commented. Just
2:25:21went out and bought a full outfit.
2:25:24Someone else took my top rank. Brother
2:25:26Homo means popularity is really
2:25:28something. Fans teased. Sis, you're a
2:25:30celebrity yourself, but you turn into a
2:25:32s when you see brotherho. Brotherho
2:25:34already has a wife. Aren't you afraid Su
2:25:37Yaming will get jealous and blacklist
2:25:39you? Mang Yan replied boldly. Would she
2:25:41dare? She's the woman who once kneled on
2:25:43durian in front of brother How. Brother
2:25:45Howal protects her. He's afraid of her.
2:25:47Meanwhile, in the president's office of
2:25:50Sue Group, Su Yamin finished going
2:25:52through the documents and picked up her
2:25:54phone. Seeing the trending news, she
2:25:56clicked into the live stream just in
2:25:58time to see Mang Yang<unk>s provocation.
2:26:00Su Yaming sent 10 carnival gifts. The
2:26:04chat exploded. Holy. The main wife has
2:26:06entered. President Su said she's afraid
2:26:08of her husband. Morang Yan, you want to
2:26:10try kneeling on durian? Seeing the
2:26:12stream getting off topic, I kicked both
2:26:15of them out. The chat immediately went
2:26:17silent. I took the opportunity to
2:26:18promote the new drama airing next week.
2:26:21Asterisk rebirth asterisk. Just a little
2:26:23plug. Then I ended the stream. I checked
2:26:25the stock market. Ajax hit the upper
2:26:28limit. Only then did I put my phone away
2:26:30feeling at ease. Then suddenly Su Yammon
2:26:33called me. I held back from hanging up.
2:26:35Didn't reply to her text either. Is this
2:26:37how you treat me after streaming for
2:26:38someone else? I patted Snowballs head.
2:26:41You didn't follow through with what you
2:26:43said last night. I'm not pleased. On the
2:26:45other end, there was a brief silence.
2:26:47Then came her low voice. Then tonight,
2:26:49I'll take the initiative. I hung up on
2:26:51her right away. This female lead's
2:26:53character is falling apart. She couldn't
2:26:55even say romantic lines as an assistant.
2:26:57And now she's actually trying to flirt.
2:26:59At that moment, Lu Tanu sent a location
2:27:01class reunion tonight. You must come, I
2:27:03replied. I'm busy. She tried to provoke
2:27:06me now that you're a big influencer. You
2:27:08look down on old friends. Even Lu
2:27:10Jinlian agreed to come despite a broken
2:27:11lick. What could possibly be keeping
2:27:13you? Lu Jin successfully peaked my
2:27:16interest. That evening, the private room
2:27:18door opened. Everyone's eyes turned
2:27:20toward me, though. Wow. I'm fine. The
2:27:22popular star is here. Come in. Come in.
2:27:25I stood at the door, but my gaze was
2:27:28unknowingly drawn to a woman sitting in
2:27:30the corner. She lazily lifted her
2:27:32eyelids. Our eyes met.
2:27:35This woman is really beautiful, but why
2:27:37don't I remember her at all? She let me
2:27:40look at her freely with a faint and
2:27:41elusive smile on her face. Suddenly, my
2:27:44phone rang. It was a call from Su
2:27:46Yaming. Hello. You're at a class
2:27:49reunion. Why didn't you tell me? I
2:27:52didn't want to disturb your work. You
2:27:53don't have to be that considerate next
2:27:55time. I hung up and returned to the
2:27:57room. Lie waved at me from the corner. I
2:28:00lowered my voice and asked, "Who's that
2:28:03woman?" Li been looked surprised. That's
2:28:05Wanu, the big sister of our high school.
2:28:08She even warned you a few times because
2:28:10of Lu Jinian. You really don't remember.
2:28:13That's when it clicked for me. The book
2:28:15did mention Lujinian had a childhood
2:28:17sweetheart. She went abroad later on and
2:28:20now she's suddenly back. Is she here to
2:28:22steal someone away? I couldn't help but
2:28:24glance at her again. Didn't expect to
2:28:26catch her looking at me too with a
2:28:28subtle meaningful smile at the corner of
2:28:30her lips. I heard Lie Jan say, "Brother,
2:28:33how can I take a photo with you?" I
2:28:35looked away and saw him gripping his
2:28:38phone tightly, his eyes full of hope and
2:28:40nervousness with a small smile. Of
2:28:42course, Lie Jien always treated the
2:28:45original character as a friend. But the
2:28:46original character never cared about
2:28:48him, so they didn't even have a single
2:28:50photo together. I took the initiative to
2:28:52move closer. Only then did Lie Jan react
2:28:55and happily opened his camera. Just as
2:28:57Wanu's gaze swept over, she saw me and
2:29:00Li Ji been taking a selfie and laughed a
2:29:03little foolishly. Big sis Wanu, do you
2:29:05want to? Xiaawanu coldly looked away.
2:29:08Just then, the door to the private room
2:29:10opened. Lu Jinian entered, leaning on
2:29:13crutches. I instinctively looked toward
2:29:15Xiaawanu and saw she was staring
2:29:17directly at Lujin. Lu Jinian also saw
2:29:20her, his eyes lighting up. He walked
2:29:22straight toward her with his crutches. I
2:29:24felt completely off. Lu Jinian came
2:29:27despite having a fracture. Not for Su
2:29:29Yamin, but for this woman. He dumped Su
2:29:33Yaming. That's why she changed her mind
2:29:35about the divorce. That was a seven-year
2:29:38relationship. No way. Shia Wanu, when
2:29:41did you come back? Z's, so many people.
2:29:44And the celebrity only noticed Wanu.
2:29:47Amid the crowd's teasing, Xiaawanu
2:29:50slammed her tiles on the table and stood
2:29:52up. Lang Mang glanced around and picked
2:29:55up the scattered
2:29:56tiles, giving them some space. Only then
2:30:00did Xiao Wanu look at Lu Jingian. Her
2:30:02gaze was distant. Injured like that, and
2:30:04you're not resting at home, but came
2:30:06here. We couldn't meet in private
2:30:08anymore. Lu Jingian looked at her
2:30:10carefully. In the book, there was no
2:30:12news of her even until death. Why is she
2:30:15back now? Sue Yamin didn't like him.
2:30:18Even with Lu Jinians identity, he
2:30:20couldn't make her love him. But this
2:30:22woman was different. They were childhood
2:30:24sweethearts. I heard she's successful
2:30:26now. Very impressive. I came hoping to
2:30:29run into
2:30:31you. You left without a word. All these
2:30:34years, you gave me no news. I could only
2:30:37hope to see you at a reunion. Xiaawanu
2:30:40gave Lu Jing a cold glance. Her
2:30:42expression was
2:30:44unreadable. Lu Jingian stared at her
2:30:46blankly. His voice trembled. Why didn't
2:30:49you contact me all these years? Xiaawanu
2:30:51sneered. Who do you think you are to me?
2:30:54Her words stabbed into Lu Jinian<unk>s
2:30:56heart like a knife. He clenched his
2:30:58fist, thinking of all the awful things
2:31:00he said back then. I thought at least we
2:31:03were still friends. I, Shia Wanu, never
2:31:06befriend men. Lu Jinian<unk>s eyes
2:31:08turned red. Then what do our memories
2:31:11count for? Xiaawanu sneered faintly.
2:31:15Only those dissatisfied with the present
2:31:17dwell on the past. Her sharp gaze seemed
2:31:19to pierce through his
2:31:21downfall. At the tip of the blade,
2:31:24someone suddenly mocked Guu Hailing.
2:31:26Your wife even live stream kneeling on
2:31:28durian. Why did you come alone? I was
2:31:30munching on melon seeds watching the
2:31:32drama. I leaned back on the sofa lazily
2:31:35when I heard that. I'm not disabled. Why
2:31:37must I bring my wife? Lu Tanu was choked
2:31:40by the remark. Then he chuckled and
2:31:42said, "Who was the one pestering from
2:31:44marriage back then? That was a disease I
2:31:46swirled my glass indifferently. Now I'm
2:31:48cured. Xiaawanu suddenly chuckled
2:31:51softly. Her gaze landed on me. I'm
2:31:54afraid chronic conditions aren't so
2:31:56easily cured. Lu Jinian stared at her
2:31:58intently. His cane creaked under his
2:32:00grip. He clearly didn't even want to
2:32:03look at him yet still spoke up for me.
2:32:06On the other side, Li Ji Bing added fuel
2:32:08to the fire against Lu Tianu. Your wife
2:32:10cheated on you and you're still
2:32:12flaunting your love. Aren't you afraid
2:32:14people will laugh? More and more
2:32:16classmates gathered around. As soon as
2:32:18those words landed, Lu Tian Yu and his
2:32:21wife's expressions instantly changed.
2:32:23Who are you calling a cheater? He kicked
2:32:25over the tea table, almost hitting us. I
2:32:28pulled Li Ji Bing up coldly said, "Why
2:32:31so defensive if you didn't cheat?" Li
2:32:32Bing echoed, "Exactly, feeling guilty
2:32:34much." Lu Tianu snorted. I don't believe
2:32:37you, Ji Bing. You're just jealous of our
2:32:39happy relationship. I scoffed and Jing
2:32:42sneered. What's there to be jealous of
2:32:44with a woman like her? Are you asking
2:32:46for it? Luot Tian Yu<unk>s wife grabbed
2:32:48a wine bottle and was about to strike. I
2:32:50shielded Li Ji Bing behind me, stepped
2:32:52forward and said, "Come on, throw it
2:32:55right here. If you hit me, you won't
2:32:57make it out of jail." Lu Tianu quickly
2:32:59pulled his wife back. She knew it well.
2:33:02The Gu and Su families weren't to be
2:33:04offended. The entire internet is backing
2:33:06me now. Getting violent would be
2:33:08suicide. He could only lash out at Li Ji
2:33:11Bing.
2:33:12You're really good at bullying with
2:33:14backing now. Even a woman like her
2:33:16wouldn't want someone like you. I
2:33:18sneered. Since when was being liked by a
2:33:20woman like her? Something to brag about.
2:33:22Is that all you've got? Classmates all
2:33:25raised their phones to support Lu
2:33:27Tanu. A woman like her spending money to
2:33:30keep a man. I've even seen her with my
2:33:32own eyes. Going to nightclubs to cheat
2:33:34on him. Totally unacceptable. Everyone
2:33:37shut up. Luot Tianu roared. He still
2:33:39refused to believe it. That obedient,
2:33:42submissive wife who pleased him in every
2:33:44way in bed could betray
2:33:45him. Just then, Ziaoong dropped a link
2:33:48in the group chat. See for yourself.
2:33:51It's already trending online. He clicked
2:33:53on it. It was solid proof of his wife's
2:33:55infidelity. Photos and videos, all the
2:33:58evidence was there. Lu Tan Yu<unk>s
2:34:00hands trembled. He pushed his wife away,
2:34:03heart twisted in agony. The deeper the
2:34:05love once was, the more painful it was
2:34:08now, and the more hatred he felt. Lii
2:34:10Bing nudged me while I was looking at
2:34:12the post. I was shocked. The plot
2:34:15clearly hadn't even progressed to the
2:34:16part where I drugged Lujin. So, how did
2:34:19it get exposed already? The former
2:34:21assistant, I leaked that part to help
2:34:23Lujin. So, who's stirring up trouble
2:34:25now? I was still trying to figure it out
2:34:28when Su Yammen's voice suddenly rang in
2:34:30my ear. What's got you so focused? I
2:34:33looked up at him, then glanced toward Lu
2:34:35Jing, not far away. He was staring
2:34:37blankly at Xiaoanu. He didn't even
2:34:40notice Su Yamining had arrived. I
2:34:42casually replied, "Nothing worth
2:34:44seeing." Su Yaming grabbed my hand.
2:34:46"Learn from the experience." I sneered.
2:34:49Exactly. What I need to learn is how not
2:34:51to be threatened. Her expression changed
2:34:54slightly. Then she leaned closer and
2:34:55said, "What you need to learn is how to
2:34:58love me." At that moment, Lu Jing
2:35:00finally noticed me. Seeing Su Yaming so
2:35:02close to me, he slightly lifted the hand
2:35:05holding his cane. He almost got knocked
2:35:07over by a passing classmate. Are you
2:35:09blind? The classmate yelled. If you
2:35:11break young master Lou's leg, can you
2:35:14afford it? Fu Yamin frowned and pulled
2:35:16me over. What are you doing here? Lu
2:35:18Jinn and immediately put on a smile.
2:35:20Hey, I've always wanted to explain to
2:35:23you. No need. Just focus on your
2:35:25recovery. Take care of yourself. I tried
2:35:28to walk away, but Su Yamin held me back
2:35:30tightly. I had no choice but to watch. I
2:35:33already saw through the act. Lu Jingian,
2:35:36the fool of this world. Now relying on
2:35:38his jade destiny to turn things around,
2:35:40pretending to be magnanimous, but
2:35:42secretly stealing everything from me.
2:35:44First, he stole my on-screen partner,
2:35:46Morang Yan, and now he's eyeing Su
2:35:49Yaming and Shia Wanu. Over there, Luot
2:35:52Tanu was completely humiliated. This
2:35:55forest should come to an end. At dinner,
2:35:57Lu Jinian sat next to
2:35:59Shiaoan. I sat across from them on
2:36:01purpose to watch the show. Lu Jinian
2:36:04stared at Xiawan Ru the entire time, not
2:36:06even a glance towards Su Yaming. Not
2:36:09sure if he truly moved on or was just
2:36:11avoiding suspicion. I whispered to Su
2:36:13Yaming. Do you think they suit each
2:36:15other? She answered calmly. They match
2:36:19well. I secretly observed her
2:36:20expression. No sign of emotion at all.
2:36:23Xiaawanu leaned lazily with a drink in
2:36:26hand, absently gripping the wine glass.
2:36:28Her gaze swept past us casually, but her
2:36:31face revealed nothing. The more I
2:36:34watched, the more interesting it felt.
2:36:36Could the story be changing? Is it no
2:36:38longer about the childhood sweetheart
2:36:39losing too much money, but the male lead
2:36:41graveling in regret instead, and now Su
2:36:43Yaming has become a side character? What
2:36:45are you looking at? Su Yaming suddenly
2:36:47placed her hand on my leg. She noticed I
2:36:50was looking at Xiaawanu and was clearly
2:36:52unhappy. I was about to snap back when
2:36:54the game started. While everyone played
2:36:57truth or dare, I quickly messaged
2:36:59Orphan. I told her to send me info on
2:37:02the two missing people from the video
2:37:04call. It's part of the original host's
2:37:06dark past. I had Orphan investigated
2:37:08secretly all along. I had planned to
2:37:10wait until everyone signed the waiver.
2:37:13Then go deal with the most difficult Lu
2:37:15Jingian, but the situation has changed
2:37:17now. Orphan quickly replied and even
2:37:20invited me to her grandmother's birthday
2:37:22banquet. Why didn't she say so earlier?
2:37:24I complained about not having time to
2:37:26prepare a gift, but still agreed to go,
2:37:29I sent the photos to the hacker in the
2:37:31meantime. Just after I messaged Dark
2:37:33Knight Surprise, the bottle mouth
2:37:35pointed right at me. Truth or dare?
2:37:38Someone asked. The crowd started
2:37:40cheering. I put away my phone. Truth.
2:37:42The question was, aside from President
2:37:45Sue and your mom, have you ever liked
2:37:47another woman? I have, I said without
2:37:49blinking. I answered with full
2:37:51seriousness. To be exact, I've always
2:37:54liked her. That never changed. The whole
2:37:57room went silent instantly. Su Yaming
2:37:59gripped her wine glass, her eyes fixed
2:38:01straight on me. After a short silence,
2:38:04the room burst into noise again. Who?
2:38:07Who? Who is it? Li Bing grabbed my arm
2:38:10excitedly, pressing for answers. I
2:38:12smiled and said, "That's the next
2:38:14question." Then I spun the bottle. It
2:38:17pointed precisely at Xiao Wano. Wanu
2:38:20Wanu. The crowd chanted amid the cheers.
2:38:23Xiaaw Wanu put away her phone. She
2:38:26looked up and met my gaze directly.
2:38:28Truth or
2:38:30dare? Truth. Which guy here would you
2:38:33most want to kiss during a game? Dare. I
2:38:37barely finished the sentence and the
2:38:38whole room exploded again. Everyone
2:38:40knew. Shia Wanu had a crush on Lu Jinium
2:38:43back in school. Tonight, she even sat
2:38:46next to him on purpose. Xiao Wanu<unk>s
2:38:49eyes fell on me and a mischievous smile
2:38:51tugged at her lips. Lu Jinian<unk>s
2:38:54fingers clenched instantly. Jiu Hayoming
2:38:56really knows how to stir things up.
2:38:58President Su, your husband's being eyed
2:39:00by someone. Su Yamin<unk>s expression
2:39:02turned grim. Xiaawanu lazily replied.
2:39:05It's just a game. President Su, don't
2:39:08tell me you're a sore loser. She
2:39:10finished and spun the bottle again
2:39:11amidst the crowd's cheers. It pointed at
2:39:14me once more. Wanu, ask him who that
2:39:17woman really
2:39:18is. Xiaaw Wanu leaned back in her chair.
2:39:21She gave the right to ask to everyone
2:39:23else. I slowly took a photo out of my
2:39:26wallet, pointed at the person in it and
2:39:29said, "My grandmother." Everyone looked
2:39:31speechless. Su Yaming was also stunned.
2:39:34Xiaawanu stood up to leave. Lu Jinian
2:39:37quickly followed. Xiaawanu, can you give
2:39:40me a ride and maybe visit my mom? She's
2:39:43been talking about you all these years.
2:39:45Xiaawanu was cared for by Aunt Lu when
2:39:47she was young, but she didn't want any
2:39:49ties with Lu Jinian now. You're a big
2:39:52star now. Aren't you afraid of rumors if
2:39:55you ride in my car? Lu Jinian shook his
2:39:57head. I'm not, but I'm afraid you are.
2:40:00Xiaawanu directly refused. Lu Jinian
2:40:03gripped his cane tightly, watching her
2:40:05back. He took out his phone and messaged
2:40:07Luanu. Do you know who exposed your
2:40:09wife's affair? It was Guu Hyoming. He
2:40:12just wanted to see you become a joke.
2:40:14Luot Tianu was smashing things at home.
2:40:17Seeing the message made him even
2:40:18angrier. Even his mom called to scold
2:40:21him. Your wife kept a boy toy and you
2:40:23didn't know. And you're still flaunting
2:40:24your love. Get a divorce immediately. I
2:40:27received a message from Dark Knight
2:40:28Bleeds. 1 million if done in 5 days.
2:40:31500,000 if done in 10 days. I was a
2:40:34little skeptical. What if she couldn't
2:40:35find anything in 5 days? She quickly
2:40:37sent over an electronic contract. If the
2:40:40task isn't completed in time, double
2:40:42penalty will apply. I paid in advance of
2:40:45300,000. If she finds the truth in 5
2:40:47days, I'll finally be free of the danger
2:40:49Su Yaming poses. Back home, I just
2:40:52wanted to shower and sleep. I had just
2:40:54picked up my pajamas when Su Yaming
2:40:56dragged me into the bathroom to shower
2:40:58together. Su Yaming, let me go already.
2:41:00You keep seducing me, but never let me
2:41:02touch you. If you're not tired of this,
2:41:04I am. Su Yamin looked at my frustrated
2:41:07face and laughed enchantingly. Kiss me.
2:41:10She wrapped her arms around my neck. I
2:41:12kissed her half-heartedly using both
2:41:14hands and feet, trying to end it
2:41:16quickly, but she was getting better at
2:41:17holding back. Soon she took full
2:41:20control. Hey mean, say you love me. Her
2:41:22voice was seductive. Seeing me resist,
2:41:25she bit my lip lightly and said, "Say
2:41:28you love me." I cursed her in my heart
2:41:29poison. You want love and obedience? Say
2:41:32it again. Say you love me. But no matter
2:41:34how many times she said it, Su Yaming
2:41:37still ended up pushing me away. I
2:41:39pretended to be mad and slammed the door
2:41:40as I left. The next second, I heard
2:41:42wretching sounds from the bathroom.
2:41:44According to the book, she was allergic
2:41:46to me found me disgusting. She actually
2:41:48kissed me and threw up. Could she really
2:41:50be falling for me? Is she starting to
2:41:52awaken some sense of self? Is that why
2:41:54she's been tormenting me the past 2
2:41:56days? But thinking about her threats, I
2:41:58dismissed the thought. I fell asleep
2:42:00instantly. The next morning, I was woken
2:42:03by my phone ringing. Su Yamin had
2:42:05already gone out. It was a call from
2:42:07Orphan. Then I remembered it's her
2:42:09grandma's birthday. I picked up right
2:42:11away. I'll be right there. I hung up
2:42:14quickly, got ready, and left. I saw
2:42:16Orphan leaning on the car and I got in
2:42:18first stop the mall to buy a gift. Your
2:42:21parents already prepared something.
2:42:23That's their business, I said. I want to
2:42:26give something from the heart. In the
2:42:28original memory, before meeting Su
2:42:30Yaming, our whole family would visit
2:42:32grandma every year for her birthday. But
2:42:35after meeting Su Yaming, the original
2:42:37host skipped it for two years in a row
2:42:39because of her. Still, every year when
2:42:41my parents returned, they brought back
2:42:43things grandma made for me by hand.
2:42:45Knitted gloves, scarves, even a piece
2:42:48charm from the temple she visited that
2:42:49year. A nearly 80-year-old woman putting
2:42:52in that kind of care shows just how much
2:42:54she loved the original host. Too bad the
2:42:56original was to focused on appearances.
2:42:59He never used a single gift she gave
2:43:00him. Orphan glanced at me. You're really
2:43:03going to the mall? I asked, "What does
2:43:06your grandma like?" She looked at me
2:43:08gently and said she like whatever you
2:43:10buy. Stop fooling me. I glared at her.
2:43:13She smiled and said, "I'm serious. You
2:43:16prepared clothes. I'll buy shoes for
2:43:18grandma then." I was very thoughtful
2:43:20while picking out shoes. I know elderly
2:43:22folks in the countryside like to stay
2:43:23active, so I chose a pair that were both
2:43:25lightweight and slip resistant. Orphan
2:43:28watched me seriously picking them out. A
2:43:30bit stunned. Before leaving, I noticed
2:43:32she was still zoning out. I nudged her
2:43:34arm. What are you daydreaming about?
2:43:36Let's go. I'm broke, too. She suddenly
2:43:39said, "Lately, I've had double the
2:43:41workload because of you. Isn't all this
2:43:43hard work worth a pair of
2:43:45shoes?" How could I not understand her
2:43:47little thoughts? Someone in love always
2:43:50tugs at your heartstrings. I agreed
2:43:51cheerfully. Sure, go by them. By the
2:43:54time we arrived at the hometown, it was
2:43:56already noon. The house staff was busy
2:43:58preparing lunch. Grandma, now 78, was
2:44:01still strong and healthy. She was
2:44:02overjoyed to see us, especially when she
2:44:05saw me. Homin's here, too. Why didn't
2:44:08you tell me beforehand? I quickly
2:44:10stepped up and held her callous hand.
2:44:12Grandma, I was the one who told him not
2:44:14to. I wanted to see if you were still
2:44:16mad at me for not visiting in years.
2:44:19Young people have their own things to
2:44:21deal with. I might be old, but I
2:44:23understand very well. Grandma held my
2:44:24hand and led me inside. Orphan followed
2:44:27behind with the gifts. I brought Grandma
2:44:29her usual medication as well as some
2:44:31supplements and snacks. Orphan carefully
2:44:34explained to Grandma how to use them. At
2:44:36lunch, Grandma had me sit on her left
2:44:38and orphan on her
2:44:40right. The old lady was beaming with
2:44:42joy. She looked as happy as if it were
2:44:44New Year. When blowing out the candles,
2:44:47Grandma said with a smile, "In this
2:44:49life, all I wish for is for W to bring
2:44:52home a grandson-in-law soon." A relative
2:44:56chimed in. That's right. She's always
2:44:58focused on work. She won't even go on
2:45:00blind dates. When Shujan added, "Wner,
2:45:03your grandma just wants to see great
2:45:05grandkids. Don't let work take over your
2:45:07whole life." The orphan blushed from
2:45:09being rushed. I was just waiting to
2:45:10laugh at her. Suddenly, my phone rang.
2:45:13It was Su Yammon calling. Turns out
2:45:15someone snapped photos of me and the
2:45:17orphan shopping and posted them online.
2:45:20I even became the mystery boyfriend. Su
2:45:22Yammon saw the trending post and
2:45:24recognized me. She got mad and called
2:45:26immediately. Her voice was as cold as
2:45:28ice. Where are you? I answered the call
2:45:31under a big tree. I felt like she could
2:45:33explode at any moment, though I didn't
2:45:35know why she was angry. It was better
2:45:36not to provoke her now. I obediently
2:45:39explained. I'm in the countryside for
2:45:41the orphan's grandma's birthday. I was
2:45:44going to tell you, but I was afraid of
2:45:46disturbing your work. Afraid of
2:45:47disturbing me? Su Yamin snorted coldly.
2:45:50Guom meaning. How many calls did you
2:45:52hang up on me during work before? How
2:45:54many harsh words did you say? And now
2:45:56you're pretending to be thoughtful. I
2:45:58sighed helplessly. Don't be like this.
2:46:01Stop making things up. Keep going. She
2:46:03mocked me. Since when did you start
2:46:05caring about what others think? This
2:46:07trick doesn't work anymore. Come back
2:46:09within two and a half hours. She ordered
2:46:12coldly. I couldn't take it
2:46:14anymore besides threatening me. What
2:46:17else can you do? There was a moment of
2:46:19silence on the other end. Then her voice
2:46:21turned sharper. You forced me. I
2:46:23suppressed my anger and tried to appease
2:46:25her. Yes. Yes. It's my fault. I'll make
2:46:28it up to you tonight. Okay. How will you
2:46:30make it up? Anything you want. I want
2:46:32you to personally cook for me. I
2:46:34interrupted her. I interrupted him.
2:46:36That's it. Women are getting harder to
2:46:38please. Of course, that's not all. I'll
2:46:41tell you the rest when you get home. I
2:46:43casually agreed and finally hung up the
2:46:45phone. As I turned around, I saw the
2:46:47orphan holding a cake standing not far
2:46:49away. She walked over and handed me the
2:46:52cake. Looking at my gritted teeth
2:46:53expression, she softly asked, "Did she
2:46:55give you a hard time again?" "I can
2:46:58handle it." I casually spoke while
2:46:59eating the cake. We leaned against the
2:47:01same big tree. I looked at her and
2:47:03asked, "You're 28 and still not dating?
2:47:06Never met someone I liked, she replied.
2:47:09I looked up at the blue sky. I've met
2:47:11someone, just not mutual feelings. I
2:47:14silently finished every bite of my cake.
2:47:17Mutual love is so rare in this
2:47:20world. Most of it ends in unrequited
2:47:22feelings and regret. Then I turned to
2:47:24look at her. She looked back at me. It's
2:47:26better to be
2:47:28heartless. Don't let someone who doesn't
2:47:30love you ruin your life. A flicker of
2:47:32emotion passed through her eyes. She
2:47:34reached out and ruffled my hair. You've
2:47:36grown up. Now you're giving me lectures.
2:47:39Don't mess up my hair. I dodged her hand
2:47:41knowing how deeply she felt. I only felt
2:47:44more guilty. I hoped she could let go of
2:47:46that obsession, but I wasn't sure if she
2:47:48heard me. The afternoon breeze blew
2:47:50gently. We leaned under the tree, each
2:47:53lost in our own thoughts. It was a rare
2:47:55moment of peace. The adults chatted
2:47:57until after 2 p.m. Then my parents got
2:48:00up to say goodbye. Gore wanted to stay
2:48:02with her grandma. I politely said
2:48:04goodbye as I was leaving. Grandma
2:48:06stuffed a gift into my hand. I opened it
2:48:08and nearly choked. It was to pairs of
2:48:11baby tiger head shoes. You've been
2:48:13married 2 years. Time to have kids.
2:48:15Grandma's eyesight is still good. I made
2:48:17you to pairs. Wishing you double the
2:48:19happiness. I forced a smile. I love
2:48:22them. Really love them. I'll try to have
2:48:24to show grandma. I packed the gift at
2:48:27the bottom of my suitcase. Glanced at
2:48:29the time. Said a few words to my parents
2:48:32and left. Went home to cook for Sue
2:48:34Yaming. Sweating in the kitchen on a hot
2:48:36day. Cursing in my heart while cooking.
2:48:38Thankfully, there was air conditioning.
2:48:40Dinner was ready, but no one came back.
2:48:42I checked my phone. It was frozen. Half
2:48:44an hour ago, a message came. Brother,
2:48:47how the one I had a crush on got married
2:48:49today. I'm feeling down. Can you come
2:48:51keep me company? The address is the
2:48:53driving school bar. No one answers the
2:48:55phone. Saw his moments post 15 minutes
2:48:57ago. Nine bottles in a photo. pay when
2:49:00was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
2:49:02Seven or eight guys and girls sat
2:49:04around. One had red and green dyed hair.
2:49:07A boy in black with smoky eye makeup,
2:49:10stared at the dark and phone screen,
2:49:12exhaling a smoke ring. He turned to look
2:49:14at the tied up Li Bing. Do you think Ju
2:49:17Hyoming will come save you? Li Bing
2:49:19sneered. Didn't they tell you? I'm just
2:49:22an errand boy. I don't carry much
2:49:24weight. What use am I? asterisk slap
2:49:26asterisk. A slap landed across his face.
2:49:29If he doesn't come, you're dead, me.
2:49:31Luigi Bing gritted his teeth. If he
2:49:33comes, none of you will escape. At that
2:49:36moment, the door to the private room
2:49:38opened. I rushed straight toward Lie
2:49:40Bing. Suddenly, two big men jumped out
2:49:42from the shadows and restrained me
2:49:45instantly. Asterisk click asterisk. The
2:49:47door locked. It all happened so fast.
2:49:49Seven or eight thugs surrounded me. The
2:49:51ring leader, a flashy punk, sized me up.
2:49:54Take him away. I calmly said, "You know
2:49:57kidnapping gets jail time, right? Do you
2:49:59know who I am? How much are they paying
2:50:01you? I'll pay triple." No one responded
2:50:03to what I said. Suddenly, chaos erupted
2:50:06outside the door. There was a constant
2:50:07banging on the door. The hallway was
2:50:10packed with people. Someone holding a
2:50:12wine glass shouted, "The locked door is
2:50:14suspicious. Brother, how might be in
2:50:16danger? Damn it. Get out of the way." A
2:50:18big guy nearly 1.9 m tall stuffed a wine
2:50:22bottle into someone's arms and rolled up
2:50:24his sleeves. then kicked hard at the
2:50:26door. Asterisk bang asterisk. The door
2:50:29flew open. The crowd swarmed in. They
2:50:32knocked the two guards at the door to
2:50:33the ground first. The two looked at the
2:50:36room now packed with people and were
2:50:38completely stunned. Tired of living.
2:50:40Huh? You dared touch, brother. How?
2:50:42Someone kicked a wine bottle into the
2:50:44air, aiming it straight at the
2:50:46opponent's head. In the blink of an eye,
2:50:49all the restraints on me were removed. I
2:50:52sat up totally confused. Who are you
2:50:54guys? We're all from Guushi. We're your
2:50:57fans. A girl stepped forward and said,
2:50:59"I saw you in the hallway earlier and
2:51:01immediately called for help in the group
2:51:03chat." Turns out they were all from
2:51:04Jushi. After the earthquake, they
2:51:07created a group and arranged me. Never
2:51:09expected to run into me in trouble.
2:51:11Looking at these complete strangers
2:51:12standing up for
2:51:14me, my eyes welled up. Tonight, it's on
2:51:17me. Nobody goes home sober. Brother, how
2:51:20is awesome? Everyone cheered. I walked
2:51:22up to the woman who took the pictures,
2:51:24grabbed her phone, and unlocked it. I
2:51:27scrolled through the gallery. Sure
2:51:29enough, there were quite a few damning
2:51:31videos. I forwarded the evidence to my
2:51:33own phone, then carefully checked her
2:51:35call logs and chat history. After that,
2:51:38I decisively called the police. While
2:51:40waiting for the cops, I told everyone to
2:51:43keep drinking. Brother How, thanks to
2:51:45you, I might not even be alive
2:51:47otherwise. If you ever come to Juji, be
2:51:49sure to find us. We'll treat you to all
2:51:51the local delicacies. Just as we were
2:51:54enjoying ourselves, Su Yamin's video
2:51:56call suddenly came through. I stepped
2:51:58outside to answer it. On screen, she
2:52:00looked annoyed. Where did you run off to
2:52:02again? I went for a stroll down the path
2:52:04to the underworld. Speak properly. Turns
2:52:06out there was trouble at the Sea City
2:52:08branch this afternoon. Su Yamin had to
2:52:10go on a last minute business trip. She'd
2:52:12been busy and just returned to the hotel
2:52:15only to find I hadn't sent her a single
2:52:16message. She rubbed her temples wearily,
2:52:19trying to suppress her anger. Suddenly,
2:52:21the video cut out. My phone died and
2:52:23shut off automatically. I shrugged and
2:52:25went back into the private room to keep
2:52:27drinking with everyone. Li Bing, who had
2:52:30been knocked out, came too. He looked
2:52:32around the packed room and blurted out,
2:52:33"Brother, how, what the heck is going
2:52:35on? Looks like a pyramid scheme den.
2:52:37That's right. I'm the ring leader." I
2:52:40used his phone to create a group chat
2:52:42and shared the group photo with
2:52:43everyone. Just then, the police arrived.
2:52:46Seeing the packed room, they grew alert.
2:52:48What's going on here? We're witnesses.
2:52:50Everyone shouted in unison. Kidnapping
2:52:52and extortion. How many years does that
2:52:54get? This must be punished severely.
2:52:56Only then did Li Bing remember he'd been
2:52:58kidnapped. He hugged me emotionally and
2:53:00sobbed. Brother How, I'm sorry. They
2:53:03took my phone and sent those messages.
2:53:05From now on, I'll be your right-hand
2:53:07man. You know I can fight, right? I said
2:53:10goodbye to everyone. then got into the
2:53:12police car with Li Ji Bing to give our
2:53:14statements. Sitting inside watching
2:53:16dozens of people seeing me off, I felt
2:53:19in a days like a real boss and it felt
2:53:21pretty good. After this kidnapping
2:53:24incident, I realized that money alone
2:53:26isn't enough. I also need the ability to
2:53:28protect myself. I turned to ask Li Bing,
2:53:30"Does Xiaawanu security company have a
2:53:33branch here?" "I'm not sure. I'll ask in
2:53:36the group chat." Li Bing pulled out his
2:53:38phone, but I don't know if she replied.
2:53:41He tagged Xiaaw Wanu in the chat. Do you
2:53:44have a branch in the city? Looking to
2:53:46hire a few bodyguards. Someone in the
2:53:48group immediately joked. Sis Wanu<unk>s
2:53:50security is super expensive. Lii Bing,
2:53:53can you even afford it? Just putting
2:53:54your photo by the bed wards off evil
2:53:56spirits. Even Ghost would run away. Why
2:53:59would you need bodyguards? Li Bing was
2:54:01speechless. I'm asking on Brother How's
2:54:03behalf. Then he deliberately played it
2:54:05up. Tonight, someone was jealous of
2:54:07Brotherh How and sent a gang of thugs to
2:54:09kidnap him. The group immediately
2:54:11exploded. What happened? Spit it out. Li
2:54:14Bing grinned mischievously. The result?
2:54:16They were photographed and caught HIV.
2:54:19My brother How is such a proud man. He
2:54:21doesn't even want to live anymore. I
2:54:23have to watch him
2:54:2424/7s. The group chat erupted. Is it
2:54:27true or not? I told you never get to
2:54:29cocky. Who's got the guts to do that?
2:54:32They must have a death wish. At that
2:54:34moment, Luinian saw the message. He
2:54:36curled his lips into a cold sneer. so
2:54:39dirty and even infected. Who'd want
2:54:41someone with an STD? A moment later, he
2:54:44scrolled to a doin video. In a large
2:54:46group photo of 50 to 60 people, I was
2:54:49surrounded in the middle like a
2:54:50celebrity. The caption read, "Had drinks
2:54:52with brother before leaving." So happy.
2:54:54It really was a blast. The comment
2:54:56section was full of envy. I wish I could
2:54:58drink with brother Ho, too. Lu Jinian
2:55:00looked furious. Li Bing excitedly
2:55:03bragged to me about what he'd done in
2:55:05the group chat. Suddenly, I received a
2:55:07friend request from Xiaawanu. I was
2:55:09shocked. Shin security company is
2:55:12looking for bodyguards. Come by and take
2:55:14a look. Li Bing immediately told me. I
2:55:17leaned back in my seat and thought about
2:55:19it. Asked if they're accepting trainee,
2:55:21too. Soon, we got a reply. Come check it
2:55:23out tomorrow. Li Bing, eager to join me,
2:55:27agreed instantly. Then, someone in the
2:55:29class group chat posted a video and
2:55:31everyone started tagging me like crazy.
2:55:33Li Bing, get out and face us. Ugly
2:55:35people stir up the most drama. Changing
2:55:37everything just to feel important. Li
2:55:39Bing clapped back. I just want to see
2:55:41who can't stand brother. How doing well?
2:55:44Too bad he really is doing well. Some
2:55:46people are going to be in trouble. When
2:55:48we came out of the police station, a car
2:55:51suddenly pulled up in front of us. The
2:55:53window rolled down. It was Morang Yan. I
2:55:55got in the car and asked, "Why are you
2:55:58here?" I saw online that something
2:56:00happened to you. I couldn't reach you by
2:56:02phone. I was worried. She looked me over
2:56:05carefully before driving. Who told you?
2:56:08A fan. They saw you drinking without me.
2:56:11And your phone wasn't working, so I
2:56:13asked a fan for info. Aren't I clever? I
2:56:16leaned back in the seat. My heart felt
2:56:18warm. Even my own sister never cared
2:56:21about me this much. This girl I'd known
2:56:23for less than a month. Came out in the
2:56:25middle of the night to find me.
2:56:27Morangian looked at me in the rearview
2:56:28mirror. Brother, do you want to eat
2:56:30something? The always quietly Jeep Bing
2:56:32rubbed his belly and quickly said, "Yes,
2:56:35brother. How hasn't eaten tonight,
2:56:37right? And I'm hungry, too." The three
2:56:39of us found a late night diner with
2:56:41private rooms. We only went home after
2:56:43eating our fill. I opened the door to
2:56:45find the room pitch black. Sue Yamin
2:56:48wasn't even at the dinner table. The
2:56:50food hadn't been touched. I went to my
2:56:52room and plugged in my phone, then took
2:56:54a shower, came out with wet hair, and
2:56:57turned my phone on. Su Yamian's unread
2:56:59messages popped up on screen. You've got
2:57:01guts, huh? Hanging up on me and turning
2:57:04off your phone. Going clubbing at night
2:57:06like that. Have I been to nice to you
2:57:08lately? I could feel her anger through
2:57:10the
2:57:11screen. I quickly replied. My phone died
2:57:14and shut off automatically. Just charged
2:57:17it. As soon as the message sent Yaming
2:57:20replied, I'm on a business trip in Sea
2:57:22City for a few days. I've booked you a
2:57:24flight for tomorrow morning. Come keep
2:57:26me company. Suddenly, I remembered the
2:57:28plot in the
2:57:29book. Wasn't this the part where someone
2:57:32died at the construction site? The
2:57:34original character took a knife for him
2:57:35at this point. Then that woman ran off
2:57:39and got chased by paparazzi. Jing left
2:57:41the injured original character at the
2:57:43hospital. Now's my chance. This time
2:57:46I'll be the one watching him take the
2:57:48hit. I was originally going to register
2:57:49with Li Bing at the security company,
2:57:52but now I could only transfer him 20,000
2:57:54yuan. I'm going to C city. You go
2:57:56register first. We'll talk when I get
2:57:58back. Li Bing shook his head repeatedly.
2:58:01I can't do it. You can. I cut him off.
2:58:04Train well and be my bodyguard. When he
2:58:06heard he could stay by my side. He
2:58:08agreed instantly. While waiting for my
2:58:10flight, I browsed the news. HX and the
2:58:13story were still trending hot. Sales in
2:58:15the live stream room skyrocketed. Hotel
2:58:18occupancy surpassed
2:58:2080%. It's dominating the industry. My
2:58:23Little Savings Stash has been growing,
2:58:25too. The only unpleasant thing is the
2:58:27danger around Su Yammen, but she won't
2:58:30be jumping around for much longer. After
2:58:32landing, I took a cab straight to her
2:58:35company. From afar, I saw a crowd
2:58:37gathered at the company gate. There was
2:58:40a lot of commotion. I didn't ask the
2:58:42driver to pull up to the front. I got
2:58:44off early and hid in a cafe across the
2:58:46street. I picked a private room with a
2:58:48clear view of the entrance. What's going
2:58:50on at your company? I'm downstairs.
2:58:52There are a lot of people outside. I
2:58:54messaged Su Yamin to meet me at the
2:58:56hotel. She replied quickly. Of course, I
2:58:58didn't go to the hotel. I ordered a
2:59:00coffee, snacked on sunflower seeds, and
2:59:03watched the drama. I heard there was an
2:59:04accident at the construction site.
2:59:06Families of the injured workers came to
2:59:08seek justice. When security tried to
2:59:10intervene, someone held a knife to their
2:59:12own neck and threatened them. The police
2:59:14only managed to clear the crowd later.
2:59:17Just when everyone thought things had
2:59:19calmed down, Su Yaming came out while
2:59:21talking on the phone. Suddenly, a
2:59:24middle-aged woman dressed as a cleaner
2:59:25rush at her and stabbed her hard. That
2:59:29woman was the wife of one of the
2:59:31victims. Her husband had died in the
2:59:33accident, too. She no longer wanted to
2:59:35live and wanted to take the new boss
2:59:37down with her, but the real culprit had
2:59:39already fled long ago. Su Yamin was only
2:59:42there to clean up the mess. Su Yamin
2:59:45reacted quickly and dodged slightly, but
2:59:48her shirt was already soaked in blood.
2:59:50Even I winced at the site. The original
2:59:52character was dumb enough to take the
2:59:53hit for her. An hour later, Su Yaming
2:59:56sent me the hospital address. I
2:59:58pretended not to know and arrived at the
3:00:00hospital room. What happened to you? Is
3:00:02it serious? Suit Yamining leaned against
3:00:04the bed frame, her sharp eyes looking
3:00:06like they could see right through
