Chapter 101: Don’t Even Think of Escaping, My Fiery Wife (Arc End)

Chu Yue’s arms felt empty. In the blink of an eye, her little darling wife had fallen into the hands of her love rival. Chu Yue looked up, her gaze icy. Qin Yan smiled faintly at her, meeting her gaze without backing down. Yu Liuxue huddled between the two formidable figures, her blood boiling with excitement. “Fight! Fight!”

System: “…” The host really loves to watch the drama unfold, as always.

Yu Liuxue wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, saying with a touched expression, “I never thought I would be so damn sweet, so damn important in their hearts! They’re actually willing to disregard years of sisterhood for me in broad daylight…”

Suddenly, Yu Liuxue was snatched back by Chu Yue with a G key. Chu Yue smiled slightly, holding Yu Liuxue in a well-dressed and extremely polite manner, and slowly said, “You lead the way. You don’t need to trouble yourself with other matters.”

Qin Yan nodded slightly, not saying much. Even after having the person snatched away, her expression remained calm, showing no other emotions. Yu Liuxue felt quite disappointed. She had thought she would witness a rare annual drama today. It was a pity for her superb acting just now. Yu Liuxue glanced at the wound on her knee, suddenly regretting that she had been too emotionally invested. Now her knee was throbbing, making her doubt her very existence.

Wen Sui had been silently watching the whole time. He suddenly felt that he shouldn’t be there. Cousin Chu Yue and ex-girlfriend Qin Yan completely ignored him, as if he were a mute cabbage, a piece of air with no presence. He watched Qin Yan and Chu Yue leave one after another, with Chu Yue holding his pursuer, Jiang Zhi, in her arms. His mood suddenly became very complicated at that moment.

Why did things turn out this way? Why did he seem to have lost everything now? Should he… not have let go?

Wen Sui’s feet unconsciously followed. When Chu Yue turned back and cast a questioning and wary glance at him, Wen Sui pursed his lips and whispered, “I’ll take you there. I’ll leave after she’s had her medicine applied.”

Another one.

Chu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. Although Wen Sui was her cousin, it didn’t stop her from finding him displeasing in every way. What could she say, looking at the refined, gentle, yet determined Wen Sui? She couldn’t possibly refuse his good intentions, could she?

Chu Yue then looked down at the culprit of all this. After Yu Liuxue met her gaze, she immediately shrank her neck and quickly pretended to lean painfully on Chu Yue’s shoulder. She frowned, looking pitifully up. “Chu Yue, I’m so sore.”

Hearing this, Chu Yue temporarily put aside her jealousy. She quickened her pace and soon took Yu Liuxue to a small clinic not far away. When the doctor cleaned Yu Liuxue’s wound, Chu Yue, Qin Yan, and Wen Sui stood side by side like cold, emotionless bodyguards, staring intently at the doctor’s hands. The doctor immediately felt immense pressure. He wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, applied the ointment to Yu Liuxue’s wound, and then turned with the ointment. “Take this ointment home and apply it twice a day. Be careful not to get the wound wet, and keep the area dry and clean.”

“Family members, please pay attention.” The doctor held the medicine, looked at the three of them, and then suddenly handed the medicine to Qin Yan. Qin Yan was slightly startled, then smiled brightly. She took the medicine. “Thank you, doctor. I will pay attention.”

Chu Yue had a strong urge to spend money to max out her account, then drive down the mountain with divine equipment and kill everything in sight.

She stared at the smile on Qin Yan’s face, finding it more and more an eyesore. She kept comforting herself that it was just a shady little clinic, and the doctor was old and dim-sighted. She wasn’t angry at all. After the doctor left, Qin Yan very sensibly handed the items to Chu Yue. “Sister, here you go.”

Chu Yue stared at her hand like a husky for a long time, finally snorting and accepting it. Just as she was about to pick up Yu Liuxue and leave, she suddenly heard Qin Yan say, “The little one just had medicine applied, why not let her rest for a few more minutes…”

“No need, she can rest in my Lamborghini too.” Chu Yue interrupted her. After taking two steps, she turned back and said, “Oh, and from now on, please call me CEO Chu.”

Qin Yan’s expression remained unchanged, her eyes calm. She watched Chu Yue leave without looking back, while Yu Liuxue cautiously peeked out half her face from behind Chu Yue’s arm, without showing off or provoking, just saying goodbye in a businesslike manner.

Wen Sui walked towards Qin Yan. “Want to take a walk together?”

Qin Yan turned and chuckled, politely refusing him. “Wen Sui, you deserve better.”

Wen Sui stood rooted to the spot, unable to let go for a long time. The doctor, seeing him not leave, moved closer. “Young man, what’s wrong with you?”

Wen Sui looked at him, pointing to his heart. “Here.”

Yu Liuxue was injured, so Chu Yue’s movements were extremely careful, gentle to the extreme. Yu Liuxue had never seen her like this before. Her emotions surged, and she quickly leaned in and kissed Chu Yue when Chu Yue was about to get up and close the door.

Chu Yue stopped. Yu Liuxue blinked gently. “Chu Yue, you’re so good.”

Chu Yue immediately heard the sound of her own heart blossoming, but on the surface, she still had a dark expression. “Jiang Zhi, don’t think that just because you kissed me, this matter is over.”

It was one thing to still be hung up on Wen Sui, but now she even dared to provoke Qin Yan. Was Qin Yan someone she could provoke? The more Chu Yue thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She pulled Yu Liuxue’s small hand away, closed the car door, and sat down with a cold face. Yu Liuxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. “System, is she hinting at something?”

System: “What?”

Yu Liuxue explained seriously, “There’s no problem between lovers that a kiss can’t solve. If there is, then have another one, two, until the other person surrenders.”

Under Chu Yue’s gaze, Yu Liuxue quickly pounced on her. Her red lips left one kiss mark after another on Chu Yue’s lips. Chu Yue was stunned at first, then said sternly with a straight face, “So many people are watching, you really shouldn’t kiss anymore.”

Although she refused verbally, her hands were very dishonest as they wrapped around Yu Liuxue’s waist, pulling her closer and tighter until their breathing frequencies gradually changed.

After playing with fire, Yu Liuxue quickly moved away from Chu Yue. She pretended to be in great pain, frowning and hugging her knees, saying pitifully, “Chu Yue, I hurt so much.”

Chu Yue rarely saw her in such a delicate state. Her throat swallowed slightly, then she calmly started the car, “Good girl, it won’t hurt when we get home.”

Yu Liuxue: “…?” I suspect you’re going to ghs again.

Yu Liuxue’s wound had long since scabbed over, but Chu Yue refused to let her go, claiming that it wouldn’t look good for a girl to have a scar. So, she insisted on applying medicine to Yu Liuxue every day on time. However, this was just a grand excuse; everyone knew her true intentions.

Early this morning, Chu Yue uncharacteristically teased Yu Liuxue. When Yu Liuxue woke up in the afternoon, she finally understood why—Wen Sui had gone abroad, with a flight this afternoon. Yu Liuxue checked the time on her phone and realized she had missed the best time to see him off.

Wen Sui arrived at the airport alone. He refused Qin Yan’s kind offer to see him off. After so many days of shutting himself in his room, he had gradually come to understand. Fate was not something that could be forced, and he and Qin Yan were simply not meant to be.

Wen Sui suppressed the complexity in his heart. He looked at the layers of thick clouds outside, thinking unwillingly that perhaps he had always loved too humbly. So, as soon as he arrived in a foreign country, he cautiously tried a new relationship, and coincidentally, that girl knew Qin Yan and Jiang Zhi.

Yu Liuxue looked at the photo of the male lead and another girl in Moments, her vision went black. “It’s over, things have gotten worse.”

Who would have thought that the love between the male and female leads in a melodramatic novel would be as fragile as a piece of paper? Although Wen Sui and Qin Yan were a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to take it, the male lead’s speed in finding new happiness was too fast, wasn’t it? How sad would Qin Yan be when she found out?

It was a lie to say she felt nothing. Qin Yan held her phone, and on the screen was a close photo of Wen Sui and that girl. A chill ran up from her feet, freezing all the blood in her body. Qin Yan was silent for a long time, then slowly let out a soft laugh. She liked Wen Sui’s post and commented, “Wishing you well.”

Then she decisively deleted Wen Sui and that girl.

Qin Yan opened a bottle of wine for herself. Wrapped in a shawl, she sat on the balcony, drinking glass after glass, as if she would drink until the end of time. Qin Yan’s eyes were a little hazy. She thought, perhaps she had been wrong from the start, from the very beginning she shouldn’t have agreed to Wen Sui’s pursuit just because she wanted to see the little one get angry.

From the moment she agreed, the three of them were caught in a standoff.

She loved Chu Yue, Chu Yue loved the little one, and the little one loved Wen Sui, but Wen Sui loved her. She thought distractedly, their relationships were truly complicated, even the most melodramatic screenwriter couldn’t come up with such a fantastical plot.

Soon, Chu Yue also learned about Wen Sui’s new relationship. She glanced at it indifferently, not hiding the disdain in her eyes. “Scumbag.”

Yu Liuxue was momentarily speechless. Please wake up, he’s your cousin. After Chu Yue finished complaining, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned closer to Yu Liuxue, and asked in a dangerous tone, “Jiang Zhi, after all this time, you’re not still hung up on him, are you?”

Yu Liuxue: “…?!”

Since you put it that way, I’ll reluctantly arrange it for you. Yu Liuxue’s face showed a hint of panic, but she pretended to calm down, her eyes darting around, looking incredibly guilty as she said, “Chu Yue, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Chu Yue was annoyed when she saw her like this. She was both angry and resentful. Angry at Jiang Zhi, this little one who could never be spoiled enough, and resentful that she, a high-IQ CEO, was still no match for Wen Sui, a mere college student in his early twenties.

There’s a saying, “He who walks by the river often gets his shoes wet.” Yu Liuxue finally understood this saying. The fire she played with, she would extinguish it even if she had to kneel. The next day, Chu Yue discussed the wedding date with her mother. Chu’s Mother was surprised by her daughter’s initiative and eagerness. She wanted to remind her daughter of a few things, but it was clear that her daughter wasn’t listening to anything at the moment.

Chu’s Mother sighed silently, then shook her head helplessly. Her daughter had been free-spirited since childhood, and she had already prepared to help her daughter deal with bad romances. But who would have thought? Her daughter hadn’t even had a chance to go out and play before being tamed by the Jiang Family’s little girl. However, this also saved her worry; with Jiang Zhi helping her keep an eye on Chu Yue, she could go on her honeymoon with her husband without any concerns.

So, at Chu Yue’s strong insistence, the parents of both families quickly sat down at a table to discuss the wedding. Chu’s Mother smiled at Jiang’s Mother, “We’ve been good friends for many years, and I’m so happy that our children can have such a good marriage.”

After a pause, Chu’s Mother added, “I’ve already told Chu Yue that after marriage, all her salary cards will be handed over to Zhizhi, and she won’t keep a single penny of private money.”

Chu Yue’s hand trembled slightly as she held her tea: “…?!”

When did this happen? Why didn’t she know about it?

Just then, Jiang’s Mother looked at her in surprise, “Really?” Just as Chu Yue was about to deny it, Jiang’s Mother saw through her thoughts and immediately smiled, “The children like each other, and Chu Yue is so considerate. I’m very relieved to entrust Zhizhi to her.”

Chu Yue: “…”

How did she feel like she was getting married for once, and yet she was sold out by her own mother?

That very day, Yu Liuxue received all of Chu Yue’s salary cards. Chu’s Mother personally brought Chu Yue over to hand them in. Chu’s Mother smiled and took Yu Liuxue’s hand, “Zhizhi, I’ll entrust my Chu Yue to you from now on.” After saying that, she leaned closer to Yu Liuxue, deliberately lowering her voice, and whispered in a volume only the two of them could hear, “Chu Yue is rebellious at heart and wild. You don’t need to consider us then; however you want to discipline her, we have no problem with it.”

After listening, Yu Liuxue began to feel sorry for Chu Yue. She looked at Chu’s Mother with emotion, “Mom, you are truly too kind to me.”

After Chu’s Mother left, Chu Yue immediately came over. She looked at her pile of bank cards with a pained expression. Suddenly transforming from a super-rich domineering CEO to a penniless homeless person, there was inevitably some sense of loss. Without money, she wouldn’t even be able to treat the little sisters at the company to bubble tea in the future…

“What did Mom tell you?” Chu Yue probed.

Yu Liuxue blinked, “Nothing much, she just told me to remember to send wedding invitations to Brother Wen Sui and Yan Yan, who are abroad…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Liuxue immediately suffered a harsh blow.

After Chu Yue had eaten her fill, she tidied her clothes and prepared to go to work. After taking two steps, she turned back and pitifully hugged Yu Liuxue, “Zhi Zhi, can you give me fifty yuan?”

Yu Liuxue rolled her eyes, exhausted, but Chu Yue persisted, “Zhi Zhi, didn’t you enjoy it just now? Look, even if I don’t have credit, I’ve put in effort. At my age, I still work out and lift weights to serve you better, to let you try all the positions…”

Yu Liuxue immediately covered her ears and, unable to bear it any longer, threw her a hundred yuan. Chu Yue looked at the hundred yuan in surprise, it was double what she had expected! Chu Yue happily kissed her twice. After she got into the car, she belatedly realized, wait, as the youngest and most formidable CEO in history, when did she get so overjoyed by a mere hundred yuan that she lost her bearings?

Chu Yue began to doubt her life.

However, she still carefully put away the hundred yuan. Even a mosquito’s leg is meat, and it adds up.

Later, every time Chu Yue would ask Yu Liuxue for money when Yu Liuxue was in a good mood after they were done. After a month, Yu Liuxue looked at her empty wallet and fell into contemplation. How many thousands had she withdrawn last month? Was it six or seven thousand?

Chu Yue was very dedicated to the wedding, wanting to do everything herself, including taking wedding photos, designing invitations, and so on. Every tiny detail had to have her approval. Seeing her so serious, Yu Liuxue suddenly had the illusion that she was getting too involved in a task.

Chu Yue suddenly turned around, “You’re not planning to run away, are you?”

Yu Liuxue gave a nervous laugh, “How could I?”

Chu Yue immediately walked towards her, narrowing her eyes and wrapping an arm around Yu Liuxue’s waist, she casually said, “Jiang Zhi, if you dare to run away from the wedding, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and bring you back.”

Yu Liuxue shivered on the spot. This woman was ruthless; indeed, domineering CEOs are the most unprovokable creatures. Yu Liuxue quickly nodded like a pecking chicken, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t run away with your bank cards.”

At the mention of bank cards, Chu Yue’s mind stirred, and she earned herself some more pocket money. Although Yu Liuxue had assured her that she wouldn’t run away from the wedding, Chu Yue still didn’t dare to let her guard down. She herself had no such intention, but what if Wen Sui and Qin Yan did? What if they suddenly came to snatch the bride?

Chu Yue started to feel a headache. What sin had she committed in her past life that she couldn’t even get married in peace?

Fortunately, Qin Yan and Wen Sui didn’t make such a shocking and melodramatic move. Yu Liuxue and Chu Yue held their wedding not long after Yu Liuxue graduated. Not many people were invited to the wedding, only relatives and close friends. Qin Yan quietly watched Chu Yue take Yu Liuxue’s hand, watched them exchange rings, and watched them embrace and lightly kiss, feeling momentarily dazed.

Wen Sui was now single again. After trying with other girls, he realized that he could never forget Qin Yan. Qin Yan was like a part of his heart, destined to accompany him throughout his life. However, compared to the passionate pursuit of the past, a silent, unrequited love was clearly more suitable for him now.

It didn’t matter to anyone else, as long as he knew she was always in his heart, that was enough.

Qin Yan thought she would be heartbroken, but at this moment, her mood was incredibly calm. She just felt that everything was so unreal, like a dream. She looked at Yu Liuxue’s sweet smile and then at Chu Yue’s happy and doting expression, wondering why she was so obsessed with someone she could never have.

It was clear that she and Chu Yue were not on the same path. Chu Yue lived life playfully and was very intelligent, while she herself was of average aptitude. Every time she did something that was easy for Chu Yue, she had to put in three times the effort to meet the adults’ standards.

She thought that her feelings for Chu Yue might be envy, rivalry, or unwillingness to accept defeat. Over time, these emotions deceived her, making her feel that she liked the other person.

Otherwise, why would her heart be completely unmoved when she saw Chu Yue get married?

From the beginning to the end of the wedding, Qin Yan and Wen Sui did not say a word. Yu Liuxue saw it and felt very sorry. However, the male lead was deeply devoted and wouldn’t turn back from the female lead. If she wanted to complete her mission, she would inevitably hurt the male lead.

Chu Yue was finally married, and she was as happy as a twenty-nine-year-old child. From now on, Jiang Zhi was completely hers alone. Who cared about Wen Sui, who cared about Qin Yan? Under the constraints of morality, they would absolutely no longer openly covet her wife.

However, the imagination was beautiful. Qin Yan walked towards Yu Liuxue with a smile and said, “Little one, you look beautiful today.”

Chu Yue immediately became alert. Yu Liuxue scratched her cheek and happily said, “Thank you.”

Soon, Wen Sui also walked over. He casually glanced at Qin Yan, then turned to Yu Liuxue and offered a few words of blessing. Yu Liuxue had just replied with a thank you when Chu Yue found an excuse to pull her away to greet guests. Qin Yan and Wen Sui stood there, and it was Wen Sui who spoke first, “Long time no see.”

Qin Yan smiled softly, “Indeed.”

After a moment of silence, she added, “I heard you started a new relationship, Wen Sui. You should treat her well.”

Wen Sui didn’t mention his breakup. He casually tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Okay. I also wish you find your happiness soon.”

Wen Sui rushed to catch her flight, leaving right after the wedding. Qin Yan watched him go, wondering, “Happiness? Could someone like me ever have happiness?” It was such a distant concept. Qin Yan sat with her friends, drinking glass after glass, and before she knew it, she had too much.

Chu Yue frowned and found someone to send her back to her room. Qin Yan wasn’t drunk; her mind was perfectly clear. She leaned by the window, watching the people below chatting and laughing on the lawn, and a sense of regret gradually rose within her.

Perhaps, all along, the person she truly liked was never Chu Yue, but Jiang Zhi, who used to be so clingy as a child, always following her around, sweetly calling her “sister.”

But now it was too late to say anything. Jiang Zhi was already married, to the person she had once mistakenly thought was her beloved—her true rival, Chu Yue.

A hint of confusion appeared in Qin Yan’s eyes. If there were a regret pill in this world, would she still have time?

The System suddenly appeared: “Host, I have good news and bad news for you. Which would you like to hear first?”

Yu Liuxue didn’t hesitate: “I want to hear the good news.”

System: “The good news is, Host, your mission is complete. The client is very satisfied with you and even wants to quietly come back and personally see the female lead’s fate.”

Yu Liuxue said indifferently, “Then arrange an identity for her and send her over.” After a pause, Yu Liuxue narrowed her eyes. “So, what’s the bad news?”

The System stammered, then steeled itself and said, “The female lead suddenly realized her true feelings and discovered that the person she likes is actually not Chu Yue, but the client, so…”

Yu Liuxue: “…?!”

“Quick! Quick, stop Jiang Zhi from seeing Qin Yan!”

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Jiang Zhi, pretending to be a server, swiped her card and opened Qin Yan’s room door. She looked at Qin Yan’s confused and regretful expression, feeling a surge of satisfaction. “You tried to steal my little male god, now you know you were wrong, don’t you?”

Jiang Zhi lowered her voice and said softly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were at the hotel…”

Qin Yan suddenly stood up, startling Jiang Zhi. Qin Yan quickly walked over, kicked the door shut, and cornered Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi was terrified, trembling and shrinking into a ball. “Qin Yan, what do you want to do?”

“How do you know my name?”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

Yu Liuxue: “…”

Qin Yan lifted her chin, carefully scrutinizing her for a long moment, then suddenly tentatively asked, “Little one?”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

Yu Liuxue: “…”

Jiang Zhi shivered again. “Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then she frantically called for help from the System.

Just as Yu Liuxue was about to rush in, the System suddenly reminded Yu Liuxue: “Host, don’t you think letting the client stay is the greatest revenge against the female lead?”

Qin Yan suddenly realized that the person she truly liked was Jiang Zhi, and apparently Jiang Zhi was avoiding her and harbored resentment towards her for stealing Wen Sui. Qin Yan’s unrequited love for Jiang Zhi would torment and torture her every day. She would desperately pursue Jiang Zhi but never receive a response. Isn’t this exactly the outcome Jiang Zhi wanted to see?

Yu Liuxue praised approvingly, “System, you really are a clever little thing.”

“Then let Jiang Zhi stay and personally witness Qin Yan’s ending.”

No, Yu Liuxue suddenly became alert. Since Jiang Zhi could complete the mission herself, was there any need for her to be there?

Yu Liuxue: “…”

She never dreamed that she would have a day when she was outsmarted by a client.

To complete a trivial mission that the client could have handled herself, she miserably ended up getting herself involved.

Just then, Chu Yue walked towards her. With a displeased expression, she pulled Yu Liuxue into her arms and asked through gritted teeth, “Why were you at Qin Yan’s room door?!”

Seeing Chu Yue about to change her expression, Yu Liuxue immediately hugged her, stood on tiptoes, and actively kissed her twice. “I came to say goodbye to Qin Yan. After today, I will have no further contact with her.”

“From now on, you are my everything.”

Chu Yue was satisfied, but she still restrained her overflowing joy, letting out a light hmph. “I don’t believe you, you always lie to me.”

Yu Liuxue immediately swore, “Never again, absolutely.”

Chu Yue narrowed her eyes and casually pressed, “Then tell me, who are those dozen or so names you called out in your dreams? For example, a certain Lin, and a certain Lu.”

Yu Liuxue: “Huh?” You’re even jealous of yourself?

Chu Yue’s gaze swept over, and Yu Liuxue touched her nose, having no choice but to say, “Actually… I’m not very clear either.”

On their wedding night, Yu Liuxue was severely punished by Chu Yue. She sighed silently. Jiang Zhi, that naive Cannon Fodder female supporting character, had really gotten her into trouble!
