Huo Jingshen let out another cold sneer, âSo now Iâm good again?â
âYes, honey, youâre the best!â Su Wanwan replied with a sweet smile.
He he, the longer they were married, the easier she found it to coax Huo Jingshen.
Say some sweet words, call him honey and he would be happy, willing to yield to her in any situation. Their days were getting more and more comfortable.
So Su Wanwan pushed her luck, âHoney, Iâve run out of my living expenses.â
Who would have thoughtâ¦
âThe Lunar New Yearâs Eve is in a few days, Iâll give you lucky money then.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Was he treating her like a little kid?
Lucky money?
Butâ¦
If thereâs money, why not take it!
Su Wanwan seized the opportunity to stretch her demands, âYou should add more to that lucky money for me. I wonât take anything less than ten thousand.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
This little girl.
âDid you hear me?â Su Wanwan urged him.
Finally, Huo Jingshen gave a grunt of approval.
Only then was Su Wanwan satisfied.

In another part of the city, Qiao family.
In the bedroom, Qiao Zixin hung up the phone, promptly dialing another number.
She had no idea who the person on the other end was, only that it was a woman who had mysteriously called her one night without even giving her name.
Upon hearing her voice, the woman lightly laughed, âMiss Qiao, so youâve failed again?â
Thinking about her failure at the clubhouse, Qiao Zixin frowned, âEver since that girl was wrongly accused by my grandfather, she hasnât returned to the Su family. I donât even have a chance to meet him. The last time at the clubhouse, I had someone drug her. Who would have thought that Huo Jingshen would suddenly rush over and take her away.â
âYou mean, Huo Jingshen found out about your plan at the clubhouse?â
âHow could he? Iâve known that waiter for a long time and he is very reliable. He has helped me many times before and besides, there were no surveillance cameras in the hallway.â
There was silence on the other end of the phone before the woman replied, âIf Su Wanwan was indeed drugged, there must have been some reaction after she went home. Donât you think Huo Jingshen would suspect something?â
âBut Iâve asked that waiter, these days Huo Jingshen hasnât been to the clubhouse. It wonât be a problem, will it?â
âMiss Qiao, youâre really too naive! For such a small matter, do you think he needs to personally investigate?â
Qiao Zixinâs face turned embarrassed, âBut he hasnât come looking for me these days. When I called Wanwan earlier, she seemed perfectly normal. There wasnât anything unusual.â
âMiss Qiao, youâd better watch out.â
Qiao Zixin was taken aback, âWhat do you mean?â
âOur partnership ends here. Goodbye.â
âWait, hey, who are you? What was your purpose in contacting me before? Hello?â
The woman laughed lightly before ending the call.
Qiao Zixin felt a chill in her heart and quickly tried to dial the number again, only to be toldâ¦
âIâm sorry, the number you dialed does not exist.â
Doesnât exist?
Qiao Zixin hung up the phone and carefully looked at the series of numbers.
It was correct.
She tried dialing again, but still got the same mechanical female voice.
After hanging up, Qiao Zixin felt a chilling sensation up her spine.
Just what kind of mysterious woman had Su Wanwan gotten involved withâ¦

The next day.
As soon as they got up in the morning, after cleaning up, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan to the hospital.
On the way, Su Wanwan called Mo Weiyi to ask about Xiao Yebaiâs condition.
After hanging up, she pondered over what to gift Xiao Yebai considering his stomach bleeding, âWhat would be a good gift?â
With a cold demeanor, Huo Jingshen said, âSomeone with stomach bleeding requires fluid therapy and can only consume liquid food. No matter what you give, he canât eat.â
âThen⦠letâs buy him some flowers.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thatâs the best they could do.
Su Wanwan sent a message to the group chat, [Weiyi, Iâm thinking of bringing a bouquet.]
Who would have thoughtâ¦
[No need. Yesterday one of his classmates brought lilies, he threw it away right away saying that it was too pungent.]
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Finally, she decided to buy a bouquet of red roses.
After all, they were Mo Weiyiâs favorite flower. If CEO Xiao didnât like them, she would take them home.

At the hospital room.
Mo Weiyi put down his phone, âWanwan and CEO Huo are coming to visit you.â
âNo need.â
âThey are already on their way,â Mo Weiyi said, looking at the aloof man on the bed. âWanwan is my best friend, so you should be warm to her.â
Xiao Yebai raised an eyelid, his tone calm, âDo you think itâs appropriate for your husband to be warm to your best friend?â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Why did it seem inappropriate when he said it?
Forget it.
She picked up the small bowl, âDo you want more?â
What she brought this morning was a chicken and mushroom porridge cooked by Aunt Zhou. Since he couldnât eat solids, she had minced the chicken and cooked it into a thick and mushy porridge with rice. She had already fed him a small bowl earlier.
Xiao Yebai changed the subject, âWeiyi.â
âWhat?â
Xiao Yebai stretched out his palm, âCome here.â
Mo Weiyi put down the bowl and walked over, âDo you need to go to the bathroom, orâ¦â
He grasped her hand directly.
The manâs voice was deep, âCome closer.â
âWhat for?â Mo Weiyiâs heart started to race.
From yesterday till now, Xiao Yebai has tried to flirt with her multiple times.
She knew what this man wanted to do, but she pretended not to get it!
She always managed to thwart his intentions!
