After completing the full course of treatment for Su Qingxue, Xia Feng finally withdrew his hands with a satisfied expression.

He could clearly feel that Su Qingxue’s body, which had been slightly strained from her first intimate experience, had fully recovered under his miraculous techniques. It was even more vibrant and full of life than before.

Xia Feng slipped under the blanket and pulled Su Qingxue into his arms. Su Qingxue rubbed comfortably against his chest, letting out a soft, content murmur before drifting into sleep.Full novel: I Was Set Up at the Very Start and Ended Up With a CEO Wife! — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Xia Feng’s heart softened completely. He had never expected the two of them to end up together like this. Life truly had its surprises.

He gently pulled the blanket higher, covering the sight that stirred his blood. Then, with a thought, he opened the system panel.

[Points: 40]

40 points?!

Xia Feng stared at the number in disbelief.

One box had previously given him 10 points. Two boxes meant 20 points. But now… it was 40?!

He immediately understood. The system had said that each additional confidante would stack the point rewards. It used to be 1 point per instance. Now it had become 2 points per instance. Two boxes meant 40 points.

He felt speechless.

This system was practically encouraging him to become a scumbag.

After thinking it through, Xia Feng stopped dwelling on it. Su Qingxue had been an accident. If he were ever asked to betray his wife, he would rather jump off a building than do such a thing.

Looking at the 40 points, his mood turned excited.

40 points meant four draws.

He had to draw. What if he got another gold reward?

“System, draw! Four consecutive draws!” Xia Feng ordered in his mind without hesitation.

[Command received. Beginner Draw x4 initiated!]

The familiar, dazzling giant roulette wheel appeared before his eyes and began spinning wildly. The pointer swayed drunkenly from side to side before finally slowing down. A series of notification sounds followed.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Skill – Top-Tier Hacking Techniques!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a purple reward: Skill – Top-Tier Programming Ability!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained [Attribute Point] x1!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Daily Item: Ultra-Thin Set x100 boxes!]

The roulette wheel disappeared.

Xia Feng looked at his rewards, his expression shifting dramatically.

His eyes first fell on the last two rewards.

One attribute point was fine. Even a mosquito’s leg was still meat.

But the next one… 100 boxes of ultra-thin sets?

His mouth twitched violently, and he almost cursed out loud in his mind.

“System, what do you mean by this? Do I look like someone who can’t afford these? Are you insulting my dignity?”

This reward felt like a direct insult to his financial strength.

[System products are always premium.]

The system’s voice remained cold and emotionless.

[This item is made from unknown high-tech nano-materials. It guarantees absolute safety while allowing the Host to experience the most realistic sensation. It surpasses the inferior products on the market by countless times.]

“Is… is that so?”

Was it really that amazing?

“Fine.”

He accepted it reluctantly.

He could… test the effect later.

Then his gaze shifted to the two purple rewards.

Top-tier hacking techniques? Top-tier programming ability?

These two skills were practically tailor-made for him.

Their company was currently developing a game. And the core of any game was its programming.

With top-tier programming ability, their company’s game would soar.

As for hacking techniques… that was even more useful. Offensive or defensive, it was a must-have skill for both daily life and shady operations.

He immediately chose to receive the two skills.

“Receive!”

Boom!

A massive but much gentler stream of information compared to [God-Level Massage] surged into his mind.

This time, Xia Feng was prepared and did not show much discomfort.

Countless pieces of knowledge about code, system architecture, network protocols, vulnerabilities, and cybersecurity flowed into him like a copy-and-paste process. Within seconds, it felt as if they were carved into his DNA.

In just a few seconds, he had gone from being a relatively capable game programmer to standing at the very top of the world’s pyramid.

No, he could even be called the very best.

Feeling the knowledge in his mind as if it had always belonged to him, Xia Feng’s eyes shone brightly.

“So that’s how it is…”

“Purple rewards represent the limit of what humans can achieve.”

“And gold rewards like [God-Level Massage] have already stepped into the transcendent realm.”

He finally understood the system’s reward ranking.

His expectations for the future grew limitless.

After sorting out everything, Xia Feng lowered his gaze to the beauty resting lightly in his arms. A mischievous smile curved at his lips.

How effective was the system’s ultra-thin set?

He needed someone to test it properly.

He took out a rectangular box from the system space.

Then he began to misbehave.

Su Qingxue, who had been sleeping peacefully in his arms, was slowly awakened by his movements. She opened her drowsy eyes and asked in a soft, lazy, slightly hoarse voice, “Husband… what’s wrong… mm…”

The rest of her words were swallowed.

…

3:00 p.m.

Liu Group, CEO’s Office.

Liu Ruyan was reviewing an important contract, yet the smile on her face refused to fade. From time to time, she let out a strange little “Hehe” laugh. This story is hosted at g.com.

The female secretary standing before her, reporting on work matters, was completely confused and slightly uneasy.

What was wrong with the CEO?

Had she lost her mind?

Just then, Liu Ruyan’s phone vibrated.

She picked it up. It was a message from Su Qingxue.

[Sister, when are you coming back? I can’t hold on much longer. QAQ]

Seeing the message full of desperation, the smile on Liu Ruyan’s lips widened.

She could almost picture Su Qingxue’s lifeless expression at this moment.

“Hehe.”

She laughed aloud in schadenfreude.

“Now you can experience what I felt back then, you silly sister,” she thought smugly.

But then she could not help marveling at her husband’s terrifying stamina.

“My husband’s energy is really outrageous… With two people, it should be… enough, right?”

Her thoughts began wandering again.

“Maybe… when Xiao Yuer returns from abroad, I should pull her in too?”

“And Mimi… no, better not. With her temper, she’d probably flip the house upside down.”

While Liu Ruyan was already considering forming a “Wives Alliance,”

5:00 p.m.

At the villa in Moonlit Mountain Manor.

Xia Feng looked at the completely limp Su Qingxue and said gently, “Wife, rest well. I’m going to buy groceries and cook a big dinner tonight to reward you properly.”

He kissed her smooth forehead, changed into fresh clothes, and left energetically.

Only Su Qingxue remained in the room.

She lay quietly on the bed, covered by the blanket. Her radiant face was filled with exhaustion and utter despair.

She finally understood why Liu Ruyan had been so proactive in pulling her into this arrangement.

If it were her, she would have done the same.

This was not something one person could endure.

As her thoughts drifted wildly,

Click.

The bedroom door opened from the outside.

Liu Ruyan walked in wearing high heels, carrying her limited-edition Hermès bag, a smile playing on her lips.

She stood beside the bed, arms folded, looking down at Su Qingxue with an expression that clearly said, “See? I wasn’t lying.”

Their eyes met.

Silence filled the room.

At this moment, no words were needed.
