Si Yueting didn’t check Lin Huai’s phone. Instead, he took out his own device and began typing on the screen.
Lin Huai shot Yan Zheng a provocative glance.
He had been by President Si’s side since graduation, while this country bumpkin had only been married to him for a year.
Who President Si trusted more was obvious!
Si Yueting had secretly sent Qin Zhao to Lin Huai’s home.
Under the pretense of retrieving a document from the staff, Qin Zhao discovered several antiques on the shelves in Lin Huai’s study—all items Young Master Lu had acquired at antique auctions.
The estimated bribery amount was roughly over thirty million!
And beneath the mattress in Lin Huai’s master bedroom, they indeed found the appointment contract.
Yan Zheng hadn’t expected Si Yueting to discreetly send Qin Zhao to gather evidence.
Lin Huai trembled like a dog, kneeling at Si Yueting’s feet.
“President Si, I was wrong… Please, give me another chance!”
Si Yueting didn’t even glance at the pathetic figure at his feet.
“Keep that chance—you can plead your case to the police.”
At a signal from Qin Zhao, bodyguards at the door rushed in and restrained Lin Huai.
“Si Yueting, you’re playing favorites! This country woman stole commercial secrets, and you didn’t send her to jail. Why should I go to prison?
I’m Qing Ge’s cousin! How will you explain it to Qing Ge if you send me to prison?”
Si Yueting’s gaze turned icy.
“I, Si Yueting, answer to no one!”
The police arrived quickly.
Yan Zheng sympathetically signed to Lin Huai,
“Going to prison is for your own good. After a full medical check-up, you’ll find that while AIDS can’t be cured, early treatment can buy you a couple more years!”
The moment Qin Zhao heard Lin Huai had AIDS, his scalp prickled, and he quickly wheeled President Si’s chair aside.
“Bitch! Who the hell are you cursing!”
As the police dragged away the furious, cursing Lin Huai, Yan Zheng shrugged pityingly.
[Lin Huai has always had a secret crush on his cousin Li Qingge. The Lu family specially sent him a woman who looks just like Li Qingge.
Lin Huai thought the woman was pure and flawless, but she was actually a rotten peach blossom with AIDS! The red spots on her body were festering and oozing pus, yet she lied to Lin Huai, claiming it was just friction allergies!]
Si Yueting couldn’t help but cough.
Where did she learn all these “private” details?
Yan Zheng’s familiarity with everyone’s secrets stemmed from the fact that she wasn’t the original owner of this body.
The original host had fainted after crying herself breathless.
She was Yue Lao’s apprentice.
After her master drunkenly tangled the Fate Lines of the Si family, he sent her into the original host’s body to restore each family member’s destined Fate Line.
This was also her final test to become the next Yue Lao.
In the Fate Ledger, every detail related to a person’s romantic fate was recorded.
That’s how she learned about Lin Huai’s rotten peach blossom and his collusion with the Lu family’s Nanqi to frame her.
Yan Zheng glanced casually at Si Yueting.
Noticing a faint blush spreading across his ears, she couldn’t help but wonder:
[Why are Si Yueting’s ears red? I heard men’s ears turn red when they’re shy?]
[Would a man with a three-year white moonlight romance, who’s long been experienced, still get shy?]
[Let me take a closer look.]
Si Yueting’s body stiffened, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over him.
Look at what?
Where is she looking?
[Has Si Yueting only ever held Li Qingge’s hand? Every time Li Qingge tried to get intimate with him, he subtly avoided it? So that means… Si Yueting was already impotent before he started using a wheelchair?]
[So that’s how Si Yueting and Li Qingge met? So Li Qingge is actually a…]
Yan Zheng shook her head.
[Forget it, who made her Si Yueting’s destined one according to the Fate Ledger? I’ll just see through it without exposing it.]
“Yan Zheng!”
Si Yueting glared furiously at the woman before him, unable to bear it any longer.
Damn this woman! Who was she saying is impotent!
Huh?
Yan Zheng snapped back to reality, looking completely baffled.
After confirming that only he could hear Yan Zheng’s inner thoughts, Si Yueting kept a stern face and asked Qin Zhao and the bodyguards to leave first.
However, just as he was about to ask Yan Zheng how she knew those private matters, he realized…
He couldn’t make a sound!
Si Yueting secretly clenched the armrests of his wheelchair, a cold aura settling between his brows.
Had this woman used some dark magic on him?
As he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang.
Old Mrs. Si’s booming voice exploded in his ear,
“I heard you want to divorce Zheng? This marriage was personally requested by your grandfather when he visited the Gu Family back then!
Now that your grandfather is gone, do you want to go explain it to him yourself, or should I leave the hospital right now and apologize to Old Master Gu on your behalf?”
Si Yueting rubbed his throbbing temples,
“I never said I wanted a divorce. Grandma, why are you at the hospital? Is something wrong with your health?”
Yan Zheng: ??
Old Mrs. Si’s tone softened slightly,
“Hmph, it’s best if you didn’t! Come to Third Hospital right now. That disgraceful son is going to be the death of me! Third Brother has always listened to you the most. Come and talk some sense into him.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Si Yueting hung up, he saw Yan Zheng eagerly signing to him,
“What do you mean you never said you wanted a divorce? That’s not what you said earlier, Si Yueting!”
“Grandma has high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. She can’t handle stress. Third Brother can be an unfilial son, but I can’t.
Since you didn’t do what happened today, there’s no need to divorce for now.”
He would never keep someone who betrayed him by his side!
As long as she hadn’t done anything wrong, he would continue to honor the three-year marriage agreement.
Besides—
Si Yueting’s dark eyes deepened like a cold abyss.
He needed to keep her close to find out what she intended to do to the Si Family!
Now that Si Yueting suddenly decided not to divorce, Yan Zheng grew anxious instead.
According to the Fate Ledger, when Si Yueting stood up again after two years of rehabilitation, Li Qingge also returned from abroad.
Si Yueting had only married the original host out of gratitude. He had secretly made her sign a three-year marriage contract behind his grandmother’s back, stipulating that she must leave voluntarily when the term ended!
But when the contract expired, the original host discovered she was pregnant.
Fearing her unborn child would grow up without a father, she used every vicious method to harm Li Qingge.
Not only did this make Si Yueting despise her even more, forcing her to sign the divorce papers, but he also coldly had her tied to an operating table!
After losing the child, the original host became increasingly twisted.
While attempting to inject Li Qingge with a high-concentration virus during a kidnapping, the needle accidentally pricked Si Yueting when he intervened.
In the end, the original host was surrounded by police and shot dead on the spot.
So, if she couldn’t divorce Si Yueting, she would follow the original tragic path of this ill-fated relationship and end up with nowhere to be buried!
Seeing that Yan Zheng remained silent and Si Yueting couldn’t hear her thoughts, he had no idea what was going through her mind when—
A pale, delicate hand boldly crept up his thigh, pressing against his cool suit pants, trailing all the way to the inner side of his leg…
Then suddenly gave a deliberate, not-too-light, not-too-heavy squeeze!
The tingling sensation that instantly spread through him provoked a shiver, raising goosebumps all over his body.
If not for his exceptional self-control, a low, involuntary groan would have escaped his throat.
Though he had no desire for physical contact with her, he still seized that restless little hand firmly!
Yan Zheng, caught off guard by the forceful tug, stumbled, her shoe kicking the wheelchair as she lost her balance and tumbled into his arms.
Beneath her oversized T-shirt, her slender, soft waist resembled an alluring water snake—he could almost encircle it with one hand.
Her warm breath brushed across the bridge of his nose, and the sight of her slightly pouted lips before him was like a plump, juicy cherry…
Si Yueting’s dark eyes deepened, his spine stiffening as he sat rigidly in the wheelchair.
His mind was filled with disbelief!
He actually…
Didn’t break out in an itchy, allergic rash from touching her?
Ever since being kidnapped by that woman in his childhood, any contact with women would cause him to develop red rashes all over his body, and in severe cases, even respiratory paralysis.
Naturally, he never revealed this weakness to others; when episodes occurred, everyone assumed it was a food allergy.
But the true allergen… was women.
Yan Zheng, her arms looped around his neck, clearly felt the firm, taut muscle of the thigh beneath her—hard as a rock.
The faintly throbbing blood vessels, separated only by the fine fabric of his trousers, pulsed against the curve of her buttocks.
The scorching heat brought a flush of enticing crimson to her pale, delicate face.
“Si Yueting, did you feel anything when I touched you just now?”
[Strange, this guy has been in a wheelchair for so long, yet sitting on him feels so firm—not at all like someone who’s incapable?]
Si Yueting’s face darkened completely.
If this woman, with her brazen words, dared to say he was ‘incapable’ one more time…
He was only paralyzed from the knees down, not completely disabled!
Yan Zheng speculated inwardly that the nerves on the inner thigh were the most sensitive; Si Yueting must have felt nothing at all, which was why he looked so sour when she asked.
[Forget it, it doesn’t matter if he’s incapable. At most, I’ll spend a bit more…]
Just as she tried to rise, her waist was suddenly pressed down, and a large hand domineeringly pushed her back onto his lap.
Spend more money to find other men outside?
Si Yueting’s handsome face tightened, his large hand gripping her waist tightening inch by inch, his scorching breath washing over her pale face,
“Whether I feel anything or not, would Mrs. Si like to test it out right here?”
