Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Yu was moving house with Qin Shiya.
Su Yu’s phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw a message from Yin Yuyan.
Yin Yuyan: I’ve invested ten million in Bai Mo, and the Betting Agreement has been signed.
Seeing this, the corners of Su Yu’s mouth curled up unconsciously.
Bai Mo’s show was about to begin; he hoped the man would be resilient enough not to be played to death.
Su Yu: Thanks.
I’ll treat you to dinner when I’m free.
Su Yu intended to put his phone away after replying to Yin Yuyan, but before he could exit the chat page, another message from her arrived.
Yin Yuyan: Let’s make it tomorrow then.
8 PM, Deep Blue Hotel, Room 999.
I can treat you instead.
Su Yu frowned at the message.
In his memory, Yin Yuyan was a decisive female villain who would use any means to achieve her goals.
For some unknown reason later on, she had clashed with the protagonist, Bai Mo.
To kill him, she hadn’t hesitated to sell off all her assets.
As for whether she actually killed Bai Mo or what her ultimate end was, Su Yu had no memory of it.
How could someone like her waste time having dinner with others?
In the memories of Su Yu’s past life, he hadn’t had much interaction with Yin Yuyan.
This cooperation was only meant to trap Bai Mo.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Su Yu’s impression of Yin Yuyan was actually quite good.
Although Su Yu couldn’t quite understand her current actions, since he had already said he would treat her to dinner, he couldn’t go back on his word.
Su Yu: Okay.
After he sent the message, Yin Yuyan didn’t reply further.
Seeing this, Su Yu put away his phone.
What he didn’t know was that at this moment, Yin Yuyan was staring at the word “Okay” in Su Yu’s reply.
The reason Su Yu wanted Yin Yuyan to invest in Bai Mo was that he wanted this female villain to experience the thrill of trapping Bai Mo in advance, as there wouldn’t be many such opportunities later.
Su Yu already knew the flight details for the Madam of the Bai Family of Kyoto.
Her sudden flight to Magic City meant that Bai Ruohong must have already met Bai Mo and recognized him as his son.
An excited smile appeared on Su Yu’s face.
Things would soon become interesting.
At the same time, he glanced at Qin Shiya from the corner of his eye.
If she knew that Bai Mo was actually the long-lost son of the Bai Family of Kyoto, he wondered what her expression would be.
Would she regret coming to me?
Would she shamelessly try to reconcile with Bai Mo?
Or would she even resent Bai Mo’s parents for not finding him sooner?
If they had found him earlier, she wouldn’t have encountered such things.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Su Yu became, but he kept his emotions suppressed.
After all, everything would be more satisfying when revealed on the day the truth came out.
By the time all of Qin Shiya’s things were moved into the villa, the sky had gradually turned dark.
“Why do you have so much stuff?”
Su Yu looked at Qin Shiya with some dissatisfaction.
Her small house could actually hold so many things; was her house a treasure box?
Feeling Su Yu’s dissatisfied gaze, Qin Shiya glared back indignantly.
“What’s wrong with having a lot of stuff? It’s all because you forced me to move here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have cared to come.”
Seeing Qin Shiya suddenly act tough, Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Oh? You’ve got a temper now?”
Seeing Su Yu’s tone change, Qin Shiya instantly had a bad premonition.
Without any hesitation, Qin Shiya ran toward the villa.
“So what? You forced me to move here, what’s wrong with me having a bit of a temper? Blehh~”
Qin Shiya shouted as she ran.
However, before she could take many steps, she felt her feet leave the ground, and then she was hoisted up onto someone’s shoulder.
“Su… Su Yu, what are you doing? Don’t do anything reckless!”
Qin Shiya spoke in terror.
At the thought of what would happen next, her legs felt weak and her stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.
“You really are disobedient. I’ve said more than once that a disobedient little dog will be punished. Do you actually like being punished by me?”
Su Yu spoke as he carried Qin Shiya toward the villa on his shoulder.
Hearing this, Qin Shiya’s face turned red, and she punched Su Yu lightly with her small fist.
“You’re the one who likes it! How… how could I possibly like that kind of thing…”
Qin Shiya’s face grew redder as she spoke.
Meanwhile, Su Yu had already carried her up to the second floor.
Qin Shiya felt herself being tossed onto the sofa.
She was too shy to open her eyes, keeping her position on the sofa as she quietly waited for Su Yu’s kiss.
However, one minute, then two minutes passed, and Qin Shiya never felt the sensation of Su Yu pressing down on her.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that there was no one in front of her.
Qin Shiya looked around and finally saw Su Yu sitting not far away, conducting a video conference.
Seeing this, Qin Shiya didn’t know whether to feel relieved or a bit disappointed.
She got up and walked toward her room.
After entering her room, Qin Shiya threw herself face-down onto the bed.
Because at this moment, she also couldn’t understand what was wrong with her.
Was she really that pathetic, needing Su Yu to force her to be happy?
Qin Shiya lay there in a daze for a while, then she got up to take a shower and prepare for bed.
Just as she walked to the bathroom door, her gaze drifted to the room door.
After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately didn’t lock it.
Qin Shiya thought to herself that Su Yu was already familiar with every inch of her body, so what was the point of locking the door now?
If Su Yu really wanted to force her, she wouldn’t be able to resist anyway.
Thinking this, Qin Shiya entered the bathroom.
But even after she came out and dried her hair, she didn’t hear any movement at the door.
Qin Shiya lay on the bed, looking at the luxuriously decorated ceiling.
She wanted to fall asleep just like that, but no matter what, she couldn’t.
After staring at the ceiling for an hour, Qin Shiya finally couldn’t take it anymore.
She got up and walked toward the door.
Qin Shiya carefully opened the door and saw that Su Yu was still in his original spot, having a video conference with other company executives.
Looking at Su Yu’s focused back, Qin Shiya pursed her lips.
“What a hypocrite.”
After muttering her complaint, Qin Shiya quietly went downstairs.
Su Yu only glanced over when he heard the noise and then withdrew his gaze.
When Qin Shiya came back up, she was holding a cup.
Su Yu glanced again and quickly looked away.
However, Qin Shiya didn’t return to her room; instead, she walked toward Su Yu.
Su Yu watched as Qin Shiya placed the cup filled with warm water next to his computer.
Then, Qin Shiya mouthed some words to Su Yu.
“Don’t work too late. I’m going back to sleep.”
Qin Shiya did all this just to please Su Yu and make her future life a bit easier.
At the same time, those words were also meant for her past self.
Because of Fatty Zhou’s harassment, Qin Shiya often stayed up late working overtime, so she understood the pain of it.
She just hadn’t expected that Su Yu, as the company president, would also stay up late working.
“Let’s stop here for today. We’ll discuss the rest tomorrow.”
With those words, Su Yu closed his laptop.
He frowned as he looked at the water cup beside him, then looked at Qin Shiya standing in front of him.
“Did you… poison it?”
