Huo Jingshen let out another cold sneer, “So now I’m good again?”
“Yes, honey, you’re the best!” 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, “Honey, I’ve run out of my living expenses.”
Who would have thought…
“The Lunar New Year’s Eve is in a few days, I’ll give you lucky money then.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Was he treating her like a little kid?
Lucky money?
But…
If there’s money, why not take it!
Su Wanwan seized the opportunity to stretch her demands, “You should add more to that lucky money for me. I won’t take anything less than ten thousand.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
This little girl.
“Did you hear me?” 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, “Miss Qiao, so you’ve failed again?”
Thinking about her failure at the clubhouse, Qiao Zixin frowned, “Ever since that girl was wrongly accused by my grandfather, she hasn’t returned to the Su family. I don’t 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.”
“You mean, Huo Jingshen found out about your plan at the clubhouse?”
“How could he? I’ve 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.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone before the woman replied, “If Su Wanwan was indeed drugged, there must have been some reaction after she went home. Don’t you think Huo Jingshen would suspect something?”
“But I’ve asked that waiter, these days Huo Jingshen hasn’t been to the clubhouse. It won’t be a problem, will it?”
“Miss Qiao, you’re really too naive! For such a small matter, do you think he needs to personally investigate?”
Qiao Zixin’s face turned embarrassed, “But he hasn’t come looking for me these days. When I called Wanwan earlier, she seemed perfectly normal. There wasn’t anything unusual.”
“Miss Qiao, you’d better watch out.”
Qiao Zixin was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
“Our partnership ends here. Goodbye.”
“Wait, hey, who are you? What was your purpose in contacting me before? Hello?”
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 told…
“I’m sorry, the number you dialed does not exist.”
Doesn’t 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 with…

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 Yebai’s condition.
After hanging up, she pondered over what to gift Xiao Yebai considering his stomach bleeding, “What would be a good gift?”
With a cold demeanor, Huo Jingshen said, “Someone with stomach bleeding requires fluid therapy and can only consume liquid food. No matter what you give, he can’t eat.”
“Then… let’s buy him some flowers.”
That’s the best they could do.
Su Wanwan sent a message to the group chat, [Weiyi, I’m thinking of bringing a bouquet.]
Who would have thought…
[No need. Yesterday one of his classmates brought lilies, he threw it away right away saying that it was too pungent.]
Su Wanwan: “…”
Finally, she decided to buy a bouquet of red roses.
After all, they were Mo Weiyi’s favorite flower. If CEO Xiao didn’t like them, she would take them home.

At the hospital room.
Mo Weiyi put down his phone, “Wanwan and CEO Huo are coming to visit you.”
“No need.”
“They are already on their way,” Mo Weiyi said, looking at the aloof man on the bed. “Wanwan is my best friend, so you should be warm to her.”
Xiao Yebai raised an eyelid, his tone calm, “Do you think it’s appropriate for your husband to be warm to your best friend?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Why did it seem inappropriate when he said it?
Forget it.
She picked up the small bowl, “Do you want more?”
What she brought this morning was a chicken and mushroom porridge cooked by Aunt Zhou. Since he couldn’t 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, “Weiyi.”
“What?”
Xiao Yebai stretched out his palm, “Come here.”
Mo Weiyi put down the bowl and walked over, “Do you need to go to the bathroom, or…”
He grasped her hand directly.
The man’s voice was deep, “Come closer.”
“What for?” Mo Weiyi’s 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!
