Chapter 98: Don’t Even Think of Escaping, My Fiery Wife (Part 6)

Qin Yan’s smile remained unchanged, but the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. She subtly clenched her fingers and, feigning nonchalance, said to Yu Liuxue, “Well, if there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, just call me directly.”

Qin Yan smiled sweetly. Ignoring the imposing Chu Yue, she softly said, “No matter when, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Yu Liuxue looked at her, a hesitant expression on her face. “Isn’t that a bit… inappropriate?”

“It’s fine.” Qin Yan unclenched her fingers, her thumb gently caressing the band-aid Yu Liuxue had put on her. Her smile was as bright as sunshine. When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, making her very approachable. “Our relationship is irreplaceable, right?”

Yu Liuxue: “…?” Her pupils dilated in shock.

No, what’s wrong with the female lead? Why is she suddenly acting so close to me? Was she provoked by Chu Yue? Or does she have other plans? Just as Yu Liuxue was about to agree, she heard Chu Yue let out a clear cold laugh beside her ear.

No relationship is irreplaceable. If there is, then it’s a matter of force, breaking up the couple, and then taking possession.

Before leaving, Qin Yan subtly glanced at Chu Yue, but Chu Yue’s attention was entirely on Yu Liuxue, not sparing her a single glance. The moment Qin Yan turned around, all her hidden emotions collapsed. She stood tall, took a stride, and in no time, disappeared from their sight.

Yu Liuxue turned around helplessly. “Chu Yue, didn’t I tell you not to disturb my studies at school?”

It was better that she didn’t mention it, because mentioning it reminded Chu Yue of her forced abstinence. Chu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. “What are you studying? Learning how to flirt ambiguously with your fiancée’s cousin’s girlfriend?”

“Learning how to bandage your fiancée’s cousin’s girlfriend’s finger?” Chu Yue sneered. “What, you feel sorry for her before her blood even starts flowing?”

Yu Liuxue was full of question marks, wearing the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Was this Overbearing CEO performing a precise intelligence-lowering attack on her? First, lower the enemy’s IQ to your own level, then defeat them with your rich, silly experience to achieve victory.

“Chu Yue, you are being unreasonable, fabricating things out of thin air, secretly plotting, making things up, and imagining things!”

Chu Yue turned her head, indicating she didn’t want to listen. She grabbed Yu Liuxue’s hand and domineeringly pulled her to the Rolls-Royce. Her beautiful finger pointed at the exquisite roses in the car’s trunk, exuding the air of a nouveau riche who thought “I’m the best in the world.” “I heard a lot of kids have been sending you flowers and gifts lately. If you like them, I’ll send you a carload of roses every day from now on.”

She leaned slightly, smiling wickedly and arrogantly. “Jiang Zhi, once you accept my roses, you’re not allowed to accept anyone else’s roses or go on dates with them, understand?”

Yu Liuxue suddenly blushed, covering her cheeks in embarrassment. However, it wasn’t because she was touched by Chu Yue’s words, but because she found Chu Yue so embarrassing. All the onlookers stared at the two with an expression of “Ah! So there really is such a rare, first-class protected animal in the world!” Yu Liuxue, as merely a supporting character cooperating with Chu Yue, felt so shy, yet Chu Yue looked self-righteous, even a little smug.

Yu Liuxue lowered her head and pushed Chu Yue into the car, then she herself quickly jumped in. “Drive!”

Chu Yue subconsciously started the car. Before her brain could react, her body had already obeyed Yu Liuxue’s command and sped out of the school. Once the crowd thinned, Yu Liuxue let out a long sigh of relief. She asked the system weakly, “What kind of melodramatic world is this? Chu Yue must have gotten the script of those idiotic Overbearing CEOs from romance novels.”

The system, upon hearing this, answered very seriously, “It’s not impossible. After all, host, you’ve encountered a ‘wolf-destroyer’ who stole the male lead’s script before.”

Yu Liuxue: “…” That actually makes some sense.

Chu Yue’s expression twisted strangely twice after realizing her obedience and compliance. Then, she forced herself to remain calm and closed the trunk door. She pursed her lips, her face serene, intending to pretend she knew nothing. After Yu Liuxue finished complaining, she turned to look at Chu Yue. She tilted her head, her eyes full of scrutiny.

Chu Yue wanted to keep up the act, but Yu Liuxue’s gaze was too strong. After her mind raced for a while, she suddenly looked at Yu Liuxue with an innocent, pure, and eager expression.

She didn’t say anything, just stared at Yu Liuxue like a puppy for the minute they waited for the green light, with an expression that said, “I don’t understand what you’re trying to express,” trying to get away with it.

Yu Liuxue: “…”

Chu Yue suddenly went full “green tea,” and Yu Liuxue was at a loss for a moment, truly letting Chu Yue get away with it. She averted her gaze, propping her cheek up with a look of despair. The female lead suddenly changed her personality, being incredibly good to her and enthusiastically inviting her to bother her, while the Overbearing CEO fiancée, who was decided long ago, suddenly turned into a green tea. As a twenty-year-old girl, she was really having a hard time.

Qin Yan did not leave immediately after leaving Yu Liuxue and Chu Yue’s sight. She hid behind a pillar, quietly watching Chu Yue take Yu Liuxue’s hand, pointing proudly at the roses to please Yu Liuxue, with a rather boastful expression on her face. She lowered her eyelids, chuckled silently, then turned and left the scene.

Yu Liuxue followed Chu Yue home. Before she even had a chance to take off her shoes, Chu Yue carried her into the room, followed by a scene that can only be imagined behind closed doors. Afterwards, Chu Yue lay on her side behind Yu Liuxue, her hand resting on Yu Liuxue’s soft, slender waist. She slowly opened her mouth, “Our engagement invitations are ready. Tomorrow, you’ll come with me to deliver them to Wen Sui.”

Yu Liuxue subconsciously turned around, her eyes confused as she looked at her. “Me?”

Chu Yue immediately narrowed her eyes. “What? You don’t want to?” Hah, she didn’t want Wen Sui to know, so she would deliberately bring her along to his house, and let Wen Sui clearly hear her say that she was already her fiancée, her beloved’s cousin-in-law.

Yu Liuxue didn’t have any objections, but seeing Chu Yue’s contented and satisfied expression, her own expression changed, and she immediately put on a tearful face. She quickly turned and hugged Chu Yue’s waist, her eyes red, and pleaded with tears in her eyes, “Chu Yue, please don’t tell Wen Sui gege, okay?”

“This is just between us two. It doesn’t matter if Wen Sui gege doesn’t come.” Yu Liuxue frowned, looking sad and disheartened. “Chu Yue, I beg you, as long as you agree, I’ll listen to whatever you say…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Chu Yue pressed her down and punished her severely. Yu Liuxue cried fake tears and protested for a long time, but it was useless. Instead, it added fuel to the fire, further igniting Chu Yue’s anger. After Chu Yue had her fill, she didn’t forget to play the act to the fullest. “Chu Yue, are you unwilling to even grant me this small, humble wish?”

After saying that, she buried her face deep in the pillow, looking as if she didn’t want to deal with Chu Yue.

Chu Yue stared at her with a dark face for a long time, but then realized that the other person had already fallen asleep. Chu Yue gritted her teeth hard, unable to figure out what to do with her. She rubbed her arm and simply lay down. She turned her back to Yu Liuxue, and soon Yu Liuxue rolled away the blanket from her, a chill immediately assailing her body. Chu Yue held her breath, suddenly feeling incredibly aggrieved.

As a dignified CEO, she had everything she wanted, but in Jiang Zhi’s heart, she was no match for Wen Sui, a mere boy of twelve. Wen Sui, wasn’t he just a few years younger than her? In terms of wealth, in terms of ability, how could he possibly be better than her?

And, wasn’t Qin Yan interested in her? Why did she suddenly set her sights on her woman?

Chu Yue was utterly perplexed. She racked her brain, but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation. Today, she had been completely drained by Yu Liuxue and felt exhausted. When she half-asleep turned over and snuggled against Yu Liuxue’s back, she suddenly touched Yu Liuxue’s pillow…

It was completely dry.

Chu Yue: “???” Didn’t she cry all night? How did her tears dry so quickly?

The next day, Chu Yue insisted on driving to deliver the invitation to Wen Sui herself. Not only that, she also forced Yu Liuxue to go with her. Yu Liuxue had to act from early in the morning, and she felt so tired. Yu Liuxue pouted weakly, ignoring whatever Chu Yue said.

Chu Yue quietly watched her for a while, intending to punish her severely. However, when she raised her arm, a slight soreness immediately came over her: “…?!”

Yu Liuxue suddenly noticed the change in Chu Yue’s expression. After accidentally meeting Chu Yue’s gaze, Yu Liuxue immediately became interested. Chu Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and before Yu Liuxue could speak, she quickly shoved her into the car. Yu Liuxue looked at her with interest. Chu Yue sat upright, concentrating on driving, completely treating Yu Liuxue as if she weren’t there.

Yu Liuxue stroked her chin. “System, the people in this world are too easy to conquer, aren’t they?”

System: “Host, don’t be happy too soon, what if…”

“No ‘what if’.”

After arriving at Wen Sui’s house, when she stepped through the door and saw Qin Yan smiling sweetly beside Wen Sui, she finally understood what the system meant. When Qin Yan saw Chu Yue and Yu Liuxue holding hands and walking in side-by-side, the smile in her eyes froze for a moment, but she still maintained a nonchalant demeanor, leaving no room for fault.

Wen Sui invited the two in. His relationship with Chu Yue was not particularly close. Back then, his mother, despite her parents’ objections, insisted on marrying the excellent poor boy she loved. Later, after marriage, she realized that her parents and sister were right; only a relationship between equals had a future.

In Wen Sui’s memory, ever since he was conscious, his parents had never stopped arguing, sometimes over a bag of salt, a bottle of soy sauce. Later, his father cheated, and his mother could no longer bear it, resolutely divorcing that man. After the divorce, his mother didn’t have the courage to go home, so she raised him alone. His mother was already excellent, and his father’s mind wasn’t bad either. Wen Sui inherited all their strengths, but when he was very young, he knew that he had an even more outstanding cousin.

He and Chu Yue had met only a handful of times, so when the four of them sat down, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward, as if anything said would be wrong.

Chu Yue, however, had no such concerns. She took out the invitation, placed it gently on the table, and said to Wen Sui with a smile, “Zhizhi and I are getting engaged soon. You should bring Qin Yan with you then.”

Qin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously held her breath, her clear pupils showing an expression of disbelief. Then, she recovered from her momentary lapse. Her eyelashes fluttered down, and she nodded calmly, “Okay.”

Qin Yan unconsciously tightened her fingers. The temperature of her face cooled slightly, and she suddenly felt utterly disheartened. She suddenly felt that she no longer had such a deep obsession with Chu Yue. After all, no matter how hard she tried, Chu Yue never gave her a second glance.

When other children were enjoying a carefree childhood, she was constantly shuttling between various extracurricular classes, simply because the person she admired was incredibly outstanding. She was afraid that if she relaxed even a little, she would drift further and further away from her. She was afraid that she would have no competitiveness in front of her rivals, and she was even more afraid that she would not meet her standards for a partner and miss out on this love.

So she studied desperately, only to make herself better, more perfect, just to receive an unintentional compliment or appreciative glance from her.

However, for so many years, when she approached Chu Yue with all her heart, time and time again, what she hoped for, what she pleaded for, never received any response. Chu Yue clearly knew her feelings, yet she neither clarified nor rejected them, letting her eagerly chase after her.

She had secretly cried under the covers on countless nights, and then the next day, she would try her best to act as if nothing had happened, going on stage to perform, participating in competitions, adding another medal, another certificate to the secret little house she was preparing to open only for Chu Yue. If that day came, perhaps Chu Yue would praise her for being amazing, and then she would feel that all her efforts and sweat were worth it.

But now…

Qin Yan tugged at the corner of her mouth. Since I could never get your attention, I will steal your fiancée, so you will never, ever forget me.

Qin Yan looked up, a smile playing on her lips. “My little friend is getting engaged, of course I’ll be there in person to congratulate her.” With that, she rose from beside Wen Sui, took off a delicate bracelet from her fair wrist, and gently placed it on Yu Liuxue’s hand. Her dark hair brushed against her cheek, her face flushed like a peach blossom. “You once said it was beautiful and suited your skin tone. This is sudden, and I don’t know what else to give you, so take this as your engagement gift.”

Wen Sui and Qin Yan’s expressions instantly turned terrifying.

Yu Liuxue: I was so scared at the time.jpg

She wanted to refuse, but Qin Yan smiled gently, covering Yu Liuxue’s hand with both of hers, and winked sweetly and alluringly. “Have you forgotten our agreement? No matter who gets married first, we must give each other our most precious possession.”

Yu Liuxue: “…?” I’ve never heard of this.

All of Wen Sui’s suspicions were confirmed. He couldn’t describe his feelings at that moment, but when he noticed that his cousin’s expression wasn’t much better, he inexplicably felt that he wasn’t so miserable after all. After all, his cousin, so young, promising, and successful, had her fiancée poached right in front of her.

Chu Yue was so angry her head ached, yet she had to maintain the magnanimity of the main wife, even smiling and thanking Qin Yan for her kindness and blessings.

Qin Yan smiled slightly, her eyes shifting, and whispered softly, “You’re welcome, cousin.”

The two words “cousin” were heavily emphasized. Chu Yue immediately became alert. She frowned slightly, then possessively pulled Yu Liuxue into her arms. Her other hand held Yu Liuxue’s, but her gaze lingered on the annoying bracelet on Yu Liuxue’s wrist. She thought, once they got back, she would immediately rip off and throw away Qin Yan’s bracelet.

To hell with the main wife’s demeanor.

With Qin Yan’s sudden move, Chu Yue’s gaze towards Wen Sui was also filled with ill intent, as if to say that if he dared to deviate from the script, she would immediately sever their cousin relationship. Fortunately, Wen Sui behaved himself, and after promising to attend the engagement ceremony, he said nothing more out of line.

Chu Yue had originally come to assert her dominance over Wen Sui, but instead, she was filled with anger by Qin Yan. After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Yue unhesitatingly pulled Yu Liuxue away. Chu Yue gripped the steering wheel, her face terrifyingly grim. Yu Liuxue couldn’t help but glance at her, very worried about the steering wheel’s safety.

Yu Liuxue slumped her shoulders, looking utterly defeated. Qin Yan had gone dark. Was this world also a Shura-level dungeon? She quickly covered her mouth, trying not to cry too loudly.

As soon as she made a move, Chu Yue’s displeased gaze drifted over. Yu Liuxue immediately froze. Chu Yue was in a fit of anger right now, and she certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to walk into her line of fire.

Chu Yue snorted coldly and looked away. Jiang Zhi must be overjoyed now, finally having charmed her fiancée’s cousin’s girlfriend. Chu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, suddenly grasping the key point. Could it be…

Jiang Zhi was planning to have an affair and cuckold herself? And the other person was her former suitor?

Chu Yue once suspected if she had committed some sin in her past twenty-plus years, otherwise, why would Jiang Zhi have such a deep grudge against her?

As she thought about it, she successfully made herself even angrier. Yu Liuxue was simply an innocent victim, tormented by Chu Yue to the point of her soul ascending to heaven, almost foaming at the mouth and dying in bed. Yu Liuxue lay on the bed, on the verge of tears. She was truly innocent. No, the female lead and Chu Yue were having a spat, why was she the one suffering in the end?

Is this what they call “when immortals fight, mortals suffer”?

Chu Yue was getting worked up again. Yu Liuxue looked back at her, utterly defeated. Suddenly, a light sparked in her eyes. If that’s the case, then let the storm rage even harder!

Yu Liuxue carefully protected the bracelet Qin Yan gave her, saying in a tone as if it were the most precious thing: “Chu Yue, be gentle, don’t break the gift Yan Yan gave me. You don’t know, she’s worn this bracelet for nearly ten years. Her willingness to give me such a precious gift proves that our relationship is unbreakable and irreplaceable…”

Chu Yue’s eyes were practically spitting fire, but soon, it was Yu Liuxue who was about to catch fire.

When Yu Liuxue finally fell asleep from exhaustion, Chu Yue coldly picked up her phone. “Send me all the new luxury brand bracelets, bangles, and rings from this year, anything that can be worn on the hand. I want them immediately, right now.”

After hanging up, Chu Yue coldly glanced at Yu Liuxue’s wrist. What was so precious about a few hundred yuan item?

She got up, took a shower, and changed clothes, and her assistant immediately delivered what she needed. Chu Yue first asked her secretary to open all the jewelry boxes, arrange them in a heart shape, and after taking a photo, she bent down and meticulously picked them out.

Finally, she chose five bracelets, two bangles, and five rings, and took them upstairs.

After adorning Yu Liuxue’s other hand completely, she found a good angle and casually took a photo, pretending it was unintentional—

Posted on Moments: “My fiancée fainted on the spot when she saw how many gifts I gave her.”

When Yu Liuxue woke up and found her hands full of jewelry, her small head was filled with a big question mark: “???”

Subway grandpa looking at phone, what is this blockhead Chu Yue doing? She shook her hand, and the valuable ornaments clinked crisply. Yu Liuxue frowned, “System, listen, does that sound like the water sloshing in Chu Yue’s brain?”

The system belatedly reminded her: “Host, please look to your left and see who is there.”

Yu Liuxue instinctively looked over. Chu Yue’s face was colder and darker than when she fell asleep. “…” Is it too late to beg for mercy now?

Yu Liuxue immediately put on an innocent act, crying out in pain with a wrinkled face, “Chu Yue, my legs are sore.”

Chu Yue paused at her words, then walked over and threw the clothes she had prepared for Yu Liuxue onto the bed. She then massaged her a few times and said, “I’m going to work. You stay home and rest.”

She left as soon as she said she would. Yu Liuxue had been thoroughly exhausted by Chu Yue yesterday, and after just getting up and brushing her teeth, she felt sleepy again. By the time she opened her eyes again, the sun was already setting. After she changed her clothes and went downstairs, the housekeeper brought out the food Chu Yue had specially prepared for her and said warmly, “Miss Jiang, President Chu is going to a clubhouse with a client to discuss a project today, so she’ll be back very late.”

A clubhouse? Discussing a project? Why a clubhouse when there are so many other places to talk? Yu Liuxue felt that Chu Yue was definitely up to no good. That scumbag Chu Yue must be trying to cheat on her.

She waved her small hand, “It’s fine, I’m also going for a spa with a friend.”

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper very enthusiastically relayed the news to Chu Yue, who immediately flew into a rage. What spa was she going to? No, how come she had never heard of Jiang Zhi having any friends? Suddenly, her expression stiffened slightly. Could the friend Jiang Zhi mentioned be Qin Yan?!

Chu Yue couldn’t sit still. As soon as the business discussion was over, she prepared to leave. At this moment, the woman next to her pulled her back, “President Chu, are you leaving so soon? Don’t you like Yuanyuan the most?”

Chu Yue didn’t even look at her, frantically asking the housekeeper for Yu Liuxue’s location, and immediately drove over.

Yu Liuxue had planned to enjoy a luxurious massage, but as soon as she entered the mall, she ran into Qin Yan, who was alone. Just as she was about to slip away, Qin Yan saw her. Yu Liuxue thought, “Oh no,” and sure enough, Qin Yan’s eyes were smiling as she quickly walked over, reaching her in no time. “Little one, alone?”

Yu Liuxue gave up resisting and nodded. Qin Yan chuckled, “Then, together?”

After much effort, Chu Yue finally found the shop. Qin Yan, who had just come out of the restroom, immediately spotted Chu Yue rushing in through the door. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, her red lips curved into a smile, and she turned and quickly left.

Back in the room, Qin Yan suddenly walked towards Yu Liuxue and sat down beside her. “Little one, can you help me check my clothes? It’s a bit loose.”

As soon as Chu Yue opened the door, she saw Yu Liuxue’s “pig’s trotters” on Qin Yan’s bra clasp. Her scalp tingled. “Jiang Zhi, what are you doing?!”

Yu Liuxue looked up at Chu Yue, then down at her own hand. “…”

Just as she was about to explain, Qin Yan suddenly spoke, her watery eyes seemingly both annoyed and amused, inviting, “Cousin, you’ve come at just the right time. Come join us.”

Yu Liuxue immediately: “?!!!”
