My CEO Wife Can Hear My Thoughts on Divorce Day - Chapter 1

For three years, I played the part of the perfect husband, yet she never even gave me a second glance. On the day of our divorce, Su Wanqing heard my wild inner monologue:

“Finally, f**king freedom! Three years of fixed-term imprisonment served! I’m released! Old man, I’ve fulfilled our agreement!”

“Three hundred million! Three hundred million! Plus all these years of savings! Luxury goods! I’m financially free!”

“One thousand ninety-five days! Heaven has eyes! God has been merciful! I’ve made it through!”

“Tonight! It’s tonight! The Allure Bar! Lights! Music! And all those dazzling long legs! Heheheh…”

Su Wanqing’s heart felt as if an invisible hand had gripped it tightly, suddenly contracting. Allure Bar? Long legs? Her knuckles, clutching the pen, turned white from the excessive force. Su Wanqing looked at Lin Mo’s calm face, feeling an unprecedented absurdity. [Am I hearing Lin Mo’s thoughts? What agreement with his grandpa?]

Just then, Lin Mo’s thoughts came again.

[Oh, right! And luxury cars! Big villas! Once I settle down, I must hire ten or eight beautiful college students as maids! Yes, they have to be nursing students! Gentle ones! Lively ones! Art-loving ones! Ones who’ll take care of me! Heheheh… serving me in turns… Hahahaha…] The voice was still chattering in her mind, and Lin Mo was counting on his fingers as if doing sums.

[Huh, what’s wrong with this b**ch? Why isn’t she signing? Sign it! Hurry and sign it! You b**ch! Sign it, and you’ll completely get rid of me, this huge problem! I’ll be completely free too! Then you can fly off with Bai Yuxuan. From now on, we go our separate ways. You continue being your high and mighty goddess, and I’ll go find my worldly pleasures! Think about those fiery women at the bar…]

Snap— The pen in Su Wanqing’s hand broke.

[He actually called me a b**ch! And he still wants bar beauties!!]

His body trembled almost imperceptibly. He looked up, his eyes perfectly reflecting a hint of genuine bewilderment and confusion, an innocence that could make water drip.

“President Su?” He furrowed his brow slightly, his voice gentle, carrying a barely perceptible hint of joy.

“What did you… just say?”

He looked baffled. “I… I didn’t say anything.”

Su Wanqing didn’t answer. She just stared at him intently, time seeming to freeze for a few seconds. Then, she moved.

Su Wanqing put down the pen. “Shh… shh… shh…” The divorce agreement was torn to shreds and tossed into the trash can. “No divorce.” “Come back to the company with me.”

[No divorce?!] The voice in Lin Mo’s head was no longer ecstatic, but had turned into a dying shriek.

[What did she say?! No divorce?! What kind of international joke is this?! Am I hallucinating? It must be a hallucinating! I endured for three years! A full one thousand ninety-five days! I counted every second! Just when I was about to be released and claim my bonus to reach the peak of my life! She said no divorce?! Why?! Why?!]

[My three hundred million!!!] The voice wailed desperately in his mind, with a sobbing tone, [The bar! My long legs! My ten youthful and beautiful college students!!! All gone?! Su Wanqing! Su Skinflint! You’re trying to kill me!!!]

“Why?” He looked at Su Wanqing as if his life had ended.

Looking at Lin Mo’s expression, Su Wanqing curled her lips slightly, a playful smirk on her face. “Oh? Nothing, I just think things are pretty good as they are.”

“Let’s go, Assistant Lin, back to the company.”

In the Rolls-Royce, Lin Mo looked out the window, unable to calm down, ranting wildly in his mind for ten minutes.

[How can it be ‘no divorce’ just like that? That’s not right! Wuwuwuwu~] Lin Mo’s shoulders twitched. Su Wanqing almost burst out laughing.

[Something’s wrong, a million things are wrong, there must be a problem somewhere.]

[No, I need to make her hate me even more, that’s it.] Su Wanqing glanced at Lin Mo, puzzled.

Su Rui Group, one of the wealthiest conglomerates in Hai City.

On the top floor of Su Rui, outside the CEO’s office, Lin Mo was carelessly tidying documents at his workstation. Just then, the internal phone rang.

“Hello~ Assistant Lin, come in.”

“Okay.”

Knock knock knock

“Enter.” Su Wanqing’s cool voice came from inside.

He twisted the cold brass doorknob and pushed the door open.

The enormous floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unobstructed view of the city skyline. Sunlight generously filled the entire space, yet it couldn’t dispel the unique, cold aura belonging to Su Wanqing. The air was filled with a faint, cool scent of cedar and leather mixed, just like her.

She was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee.

[Tsk tsk, still so beautiful, if only she was a little more approachable.]

[Hmm. This figure, these long legs, if only they were paired with white silk nurse stockings, heheheh~ Can’t think about it anymore.] He rubbed his nose.

Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Mo.

[So this guy is that bold, interesting. Nurse uniform… It’s not impossible.]

“Assistant Lin,” Su Wanqing slowly walked towards Lin Mo, “Grandpa wants me to take you home tonight.” As she spoke, she deliberately leaned in, her lips slowly approaching his ear, as if wanting to say something, making him a little dazed.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.

“Wanwan,” a effeminate male voice drifted in.

Su Wanqing frowned, displeased. “Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”

“I just missed you so much~” he said, walking straight over.

“Oh, oh, oh, Assistant Lin, you’re here too. So, did you two get divorced?”

He snapped back to reality, goosebumps covering him.

[Bai Yuxuan, this sissy name, paired with this sissy voice, truly something else.]

[I really don’t understand why this b**ch likes this sissy, instead of a handsome guy like me.]

“Pfft,” Su Wanqing stifled a laugh…

Bai Yuxuan was Su Wanqing’s first love. They dated for three years during college. Upon graduation, Bai Yuxuan wanted to develop his career abroad and went overseas despite Su Wanqing’s desperate pleas.

From then on, Su Wanqing was devastated, often crying herself to sleep, living in a drunken haze every night, as if only then could she see him.

Old Master Su feared something might happen to her, so he found him, asking him to protect Su Wanqing for three years. After three years, he was to leave Su Wanqing, and in return, he would receive a compensation of three hundred million. Three hundred million was pocket change for the Su family.

So he began a mad pursuit.

A bouquet of flowers every day, picking her up when she was drunk, making hangover soup, cheering her up—these were basic. Whatever she did to him, he didn’t care.

He was on call 24/7. As long as she called, he would appear immediately.

At that time, everyone around them thought he was a simp, and the worst kind.

In front of her, he always smiled like an old chrysanthemum. Was he smiling at her? No, it was for those three hundred million!

Day after day, under his relentless simping, one day she suddenly said, “Lin Mo, let’s get married.”

Later, he found out that Bai Yuxuan had gotten engaged overseas at that time.

He was so excited then. Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful woman? Had he finally moved her? So they got their marriage certificate and held a simple wedding.

After marriage, he took care of her daily life, until one day.

He discovered that Su Wanqing still couldn’t forget Bai Yuxuan. There was a room in the villa filled with memories from their relationship, many letters, still expressing her longing for him.

He thought that in three years he could enter her world, but it seemed her world didn’t need him.

And it was true. Three months ago, Bai Yuxuan returned, and Su Wanqing seemed to be possessed, the two of them constantly together.

Thinking of this, his desire for divorce grew stronger.

[Yes, make her angry, make her hate me even more, that way we can get divorced faster, my three hundred million! Luxury car! Villa! Long-legged sisters!!]

[Heheheh, you sissy, you’re it. You’re dead!!]

He slapped him repeatedly.

[Oh, your f**king head, you don’t care if others can take it or not.]

[That’s for peeking at the cleaning lady in the bathroom!]

[That’s for flirting with married women everywhere!]

[That’s for your improper private life!]

[That’s for reselling company secrets!]

[That’s for framing me!]

[That’s for drugging Wanqing!]

[That’s for being a sissy!]

[……]

As his rhythmic slaps and inner thoughts continued.

Su Wanqing went from surprise to shock… her mouth slowly forming an ‘o’ shape.

“Stop it!”

Su Wanqing grabbed his hand, looking at him with a complicated expression.

“Hmph, feeling bad?” “If you feel bad, then divorce me!” “That way I won’t be an eyesore to you two anymore.”

He looked at Su Wanqing provocatively.

[Haha, satisfying! I’ve hated him for a long time. This b**ch must be so upset now!]

[These two should be locked up together, one stupid, one evil, a perfect match!]

Bai Yuxuan snapped back to reality, a shriek piercing his eardrums.

“Ah! Lin Mo, are you crazy?! Why are you hitting me!”

“No one’s ever hit me in my life!” he screamed, lunging at him with his swollen face.

Just as he lifted his foot to kick him in the face, Su Wanqing spoke.

“I said stop! Didn’t you hear me?” Her tone contained a hint of anger.

“Lin Mo, apologize to him! No matter what, hitting someone is wrong!”

He pouted, thinking to himself. [If you knew what he did, you’d think I went too easy on him.]

He looked at her even more provocatively. “Apologize? Never! You can call the police and arrest me, but before that, let’s go to the civil affairs bureau and get this divorce done.”

“You don’t want tomorrow’s headlines to read: ‘Su Rui Group’s Son-in-Law Arrested,’ do you?”

[Quick! Su Wanqing, let’s go to the civil affairs bureau and sign the divorce papers! Heheheh… I’m such a clever ghost.]

Su Wanqing looked at him with some helplessness, then at Bai Yuxuan. “You go out first and deal with the injuries on your face.”

Bai Yuxuan shrieked furiously, “Wanwan, he bullied me, we can’t just let this go.”

For the first time, Su Wanqing found Bai Yuxuan so annoying. She frowned and waved her hand. “I’ll handle it, you go out first.”

Bai Yuxuan left indignantly, still cursing under his breath, “Lin Mo, this isn’t over!”

“President Su, let’s go, to the civil affairs bureau, for the divorce!”

Su Wanqing: “When did I say I wanted a divorce?” “Remember to go back to Grandpa’s tonight, you can go prepare first.”

[No! No! No! This is too wrong! Shouldn’t Su Wanqing be comforting Bai Yuxuan and then going to the civil affairs bureau to divorce me?]

[Did this b**ch get possessed?]

Only then did he realize that this was completely different from the script he had imagined.

He walked out of the CEO’s office, crestfallen.

After Lin Mo left.

“Were all of Lin Mo’s thoughts true?”

“Did Bai Yuxuan really betray company secrets? And frame Lin Mo?”

“Was this divorce fight because company secrets were betrayed? How could I have been deceived by Yuxuan with just a few words?”

“And what about the drugging? Why don’t I remember it?”

Thinking this, Su Wanqing picked up the phone.

“Hello, Xiaoya, get me some surveillance footage, and send someone to investigate Bai Yuxuan’s recent whereabouts and contacts.”

“Okay, President Su.”

Hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing fell into thought…

Evening.

Su Family Manor.

Lin Mo: “Old Master, you see, three years have passed, about that…”

Old Master Su: “Hahaha… Lin Mo, I’ve grown to like you more and more over these years. What I said back then was that I’d give it to you only after you left Wanwan.”

“And all the things you did for Wanwan, I saw them all. This manor of mine is worth much more than three hundred million, it’ll be yours in the future, hahaha…”

“As long as you and Wanwan are together, the entire Su Rui Group will be yours in the future.”

“Sigh, Wanwan is also a child of misfortune. Her parents died in a car accident when she was eight. She’s been with me since then, but I didn’t have time to supervise her, which made her personality a bit cold.”

“But she’s a good child.”

Lin Mo: “But Wanqing doesn’t like me. I tried my best, but it seems useless…”

“Grandpa!” A sweet voice came from outside the door.

Perhaps it was only in front of her grandpa that she would make such a sweet, delicate sound.

She was wearing an off-white silk dress, exuding an elegant and noble aura. The flowing lines cascaded gracefully from her shoulders, without excessive adornment, yet showcasing simplicity and grandeur.

The high-waist design elongated her legs, making her figure even more slender. The floral pattern on the dress seemed to embody the entire spring, fresh and natural, making one’s eyes light up.

[I’ve looked at this woman for three years and I’m still not tired of it, she’s truly beautiful!]

The old man looked at him, puzzled.

Then he chuckled and greeted, “Wanwan, you’re here, quickly sit down. I was just chatting with Lin Mo.”

Just then, Bai Yuxuan walked in from behind Su Wanqing.

His and the old man’s faces instantly darkened.

“Why did you bring him here?” the old man said, his face dark.

Su Wanqing: “Grandpa, I just came to see you, don’t be angry.”

[She knows it’ll make Grandpa angry and still brought him! What a b**ch.]

The old man looked at him blankly.

Bai Yuxuan: “Grandpa, don’t be angry, I just missed you and came to see you.” Bai Yuxuan smiled slightly, showing some composure.

Old Man: “Hmph, have you forgotten how you hurt Wanwan back then? I haven’t even settled the score with you, and you dare to appear before me!!”

[Exactly! Exactly!]

The old man looked at him in shock.

Bai Yuxuan: “I’m sorry, Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Wanwan and I truly love each other. As long as Lin Mo divorces Wanwan, I’ll marry her immediately.”

Old Man: “You scoundrel! How dare you say such things! My wife and I are living well, why are you meddling? Get out!!”

[Exactly! Exactly!]

The old man was sure, these were Lin Mo’s thoughts. He looked at Bai Yuxuan, then at Su Wanqing. He saw Su Wanqing nod almost imperceptibly.

The old man understood. He and Wanwan could both hear Lin Mo’s thoughts. He was somewhat gleeful, and somewhat puzzled. It seemed Bai Yuxuan couldn’t hear them?

To confirm his suspicions, the old man didn’t try to make Bai Yuxuan leave again.

This dinner felt like chewing wax. Seeing Bai Yuxuan and Su Wanqing feeding each other, his eye twitched, and he ranted wildly in his mind.

What’s wrong with this old man? He choked one moment, then giggled foolishly the next, in short, he was incredibly happy.

Back home, I lay in the guest room. Our home was a luxurious top-floor duplex in the heart of the city’s prime real estate. Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was the dazzling city nightscape, and inside, the minimalist luxury decor was spacious, cold, and lacked any warmth of life.

[How much longer do I have to live like this! Ah! My long-legged sisters! My luxury car, my villa!]

[No! I must get divorced! I’m tired of living a life accompanied by my five fingers!]

[Looks like I need to intensify things! Heheheh… She said not to touch her? Tonight…]

At this moment, in the adjacent room, Su Wanqing’s small face was flushed, as if about to drip water.

“This b**tard, what is he thinking!”

“He even wants to…”

Just then, a faint turning sound came from the doorknob. “Click.” The door opened.

Su Wanqing immediately closed her eyes. [This b**tard, he actually dared! What to do, what to do! Anxiously waiting online!!]

Su Wanqing secretly opened her eyes a crack, and through the moonlight, she saw Lin Mo tiptoeing gently and slowly.

[He’s here! He’s here! He’s at the bedside!]

I bent down, my fingers gently touching Su Wanqing’s face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Good thing she’s asleep, otherwise tomorrow I’d be sleeping in the hospital basement.]

[Heheheh… So fragrant, is this the b**ch’s room?]

[Hmm, so beautiful. As expected of my wife. She’s still so lovely even when asleep…]

I leaned in close to her full, plump lips and gently pecked them.

[Consider this a little interest for today, I’ll be back tomorrow!]

I quietly exited the room and locked the door.

At this moment, Su Wanqing’s head was buzzing, her face flushed, her heart pounding. “My first kiss just like that?”

When she was dating Bai Yuxuan, the most they did was hold hands; there were no intimate gestures.

“Ahhh~ This b**tard, he kissed and ran away,”

“Wait, he called me his wife, and said he’d be back tomorrow. Why do I feel a little bit of anticipation…?”

The next morning.

I was eating breakfast.

“Creak—”

Su Wanqing opened the door to the master bedroom.

[Hmm? Why does she have two dark circles? And her face is so red?]

Su Wanqing silently sat opposite me, picked up a piece of bread and started munching, head down. After finishing the bread, she picked up the milk and chugged it down.

[Something’s wrong, what’s up with this b**ch today?]

Su Wanqing glared at me angrily, grabbed her bag, and left, closing the door behind her.

“Heheh, women, so inexplicable.”

“Xiaoya, how about the matter I asked you to investigate yesterday?”

“President Su, the surveillance footage has been sent to your computer. Also, General Manager Bai has been in frequent contact with General Manager Wang of Wang Group. They often meet at a coffee shop called Oudi Café.”

“We don’t know the specific content of their discussions yet, please give me another half day.”

“Oh, and General Manager Bai has been frequenting Allure Bar recently. Our people photographed him drugging other customers, both male and female… Photos and videos have been sent to your email.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

Hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing’s brows furrowed slightly. “General Manager Wang? Interesting, it seems the confidential documents were indeed stolen by Bai Yuxuan.”

Rewinding to yesterday evening, Su Wanqing passed by Bai Yuxuan’s office and vaguely heard terms like “AI core algorithm,” “code,” etc. They planned to meet later, which made Su Wanqing suspicious.

So she simply brought Bai Yuxuan to the Su Family Manor.

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing opened her computer, looking at a pile of surveillance files, and selected some from specific locations to watch.

Su Wanqing saw Bai Yuxuan enter the women’s restroom, saw him flirt with female employees, and saw him frantically doing something at Lin Mo’s workstation.

Lin Mo wasn’t an ordinary assistant; he was a super programmer. This time, the core algorithm of the AI technology ‘Firmament’ was entirely structured by him.

[I’m so stupid! How could I have believed Bai Yuxuan’s words so easily! And not believed Lin Mo?]

[I should find a time to properly compensate Lin Mo.]

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing had already opened her email, and the contents were incredibly shocking. She picked up the phone.

“Hello, Lin Mo, come in for a moment.” Less than half a minute passed.

Knock knock knock

“Enter.”

As I entered, I noticed Su Wanqing’s somewhat troubled face. “What’s wrong, President Su?”

“Come here.”

I walked closer and saw the lewd images on the computer.

[Holy s**t! Is this b**ch crazy! Watching p**n in the company in broad daylight? If she wants to watch, she should wait until she gets home.]

“What nonsense are you talking about! This is Bai Yuxuan!”

Me? “I didn’t say anything.” “Let me see… It really is him.”

Su Wanqing looked at me with a complicated expression and said, “That time Bai Yuxuan took me to the bar, did he drug me? And then you took me home?”

[How did this b**ch get smart? Last time, that situation looked fishy from every angle, didn’t it? Those people around him clearly weren’t good news. And this b**ch still rushed in headfirst.]

[Good thing I was careful and followed them, sneaking into the private room. Turns out this b**ch was knocked out by Bai Yuxuan in less than 20 minutes.]

[Tsk tsk, I even got a good beating then, and lay in the hospital for a week. This b**ch never even came to see me once.]

I thought all this in my mind, but my mouth only calmly replied, “Mm.”

Su Wanqing suddenly hugged me, sobbing, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t have believed me, would you? At that time, Bai Yuxuan said he was the one who sent you back, and you didn’t suspect anything at all.” I said helplessly.

Su Wanqing froze, feeling a little ashamed, and said nothing. Yes, she had trusted Bai Yuxuan too much then.

Suddenly, “Beep beep beep,” “Beep beep beep,” the phone rang, breaking the warm stillness.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and answered the call.

“Hello.”

“President Su, we found it,” Assistant Xiaoya’s voice on the other end was a mix of urgency and confirmation. “Bai Yuxuan and General Manager Wang of Wang Group entered Oudi Cafe’s private room ten minutes ago, right near the company. Our people confirmed that Bai Yuxuan was carrying an encrypted hard drive, identical to the model of the lost ‘Firmament’ core algorithm backup. They’re making a deal!”

Su Wanqing’s heart sank sharply, her eyes instantly sharpening like ice.

“Understood. Call the police immediately and synchronize the location and evidence with them. Also, arrange for security personnel, now! Immediately! To wait outside Oudi Cafe. Wait for my command. Do not act rashly before I give the signal, to avoid alerting them.”

“Yes, President Su! Are you… going there yourself?”

“I must confirm it with my own eyes.” Su Wanqing was resolute, her gaze sweeping over Lin Mo, who was still being held by her, her eyes complex. “Lin Mo, you…”

[A deal?! You b**ch! What are you doing going alone?! Are you asking for trouble?! That sissy Bai Yuxuan and Fatty Wang are no good! That last time they drugged you, they were in on it together!]

Lin Mo’s inner voice exploded in her mind, with an unprecedented anxiety and anger.

Su Wanqing was jolted by his internal roar, and at the same time, she caught crucial information—the last time she was drugged, Bai Yuxuan and General Manager Wang were actually accomplices!

She took a deep breath, let go of Lin Mo, and quickly regained her CEO’s calm demeanor, but a hint of determination, never before seen by Lin Mo, appeared deep in her eyes. “Lin Mo, you stay at the company. I have private matters to handle.”

She had to go, not only to retrieve “Firmament” but also to completely tear off Bai Yuxuan’s mask, and… to make up for her neglect of Lin Mo.

[Private matters my a**! She’s definitely going to Oudi! That b**ch’s face is practically screaming ‘I’m going on an adventure’! No way! I have to follow her! What if something happens to her again? This time, she might not be as lucky as last time!]

Lin Mo’s thoughts were as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Without another word, he immediately followed.

Su Wanqing heard his footsteps close behind her, as well as his concern about “what if something happens.” Her heart warmed inexplicably, but there was more urgency. She didn’t turn back to stop him, silently consenting to his presence. At this moment, she actually felt a bit more at ease with him by her side.

The heavy door cut off the outside world. Bai Yuxuan’s face had lost its usual effeminate pretense, replaced by a twisted expression of greed and urgency. He pushed a silver encrypted hard drive across the table to the potbellied General Manager Wang.

“General Manager Wang, the goods are here. The core algorithm of ‘Firmament,’ the most complete backup, the technical cornerstone of Su Group for the next fifty years. With it, Wang Group’s overtake in the AI field is just around the corner.” Bai Yuxuan’s voice was very low, with a hint of fawning.

General Manager Wang’s greasy fingers caressed the hard drive, his small eyes gleaming. “Xiao Bai, well done. That b**ch Su Wanqing, is she still being played like a fiddle by you? Hahaha!”

“It’s a shame the drugging didn’t work last time, otherwise Su Group would have been in chaos by now.”

“Hmph, that time it was Lin Mo, that annoying b**tard, who ruined it!” Bai Yuxuan said hatefully, a sinister glint in his eyes. “But it doesn’t matter, this time it’s a complete wipeout. With this, Su Group will be crippled if not dead! That b**ch Su Wanqing, relying on her looks and family background, really thinks she’s a queen? This time I’ll make her beg me on her knees!” A vengeful satisfaction appeared on his face.

[Su Wanqing! You idiot! Listen! Listen to what your beloved ‘white moonlight’ is saying?! He wants you to beg him on your knees! He’s calling you a b**ch! He’s conspiring with others to plot against you! To plot against the Su family! Are you still not awake?!]

Outside the private room, pressed against the door crack, Su Wanqing’s body instantly stiffened like iron.

Lin Mo’s thoughts, like thunder, echoed in her mind, every word like a poisoned whip lashing at her heart.

But what made her blood freeze even more was the clear conversation coming from inside the private room! That sound was transmitted through the miniature listening device she had secretly attached to the inner side of the doorframe earlier, when the waiter delivered coffee!

“Who?! Who’s outside?!” Inside the private room, General Manager Wang seemed to have heard a slight movement and barked cautiously.

“Damn it!” Su Wanqing’s heart clenched.

[Oh no! We’ve been discovered!] Lin Mo’s thoughts echoed simultaneously, with a hint of panic, but in the next second, they were replaced by a stronger protective instinct: [F**k it, I’m going all out! You b**ch, get out of the way!]

The moment the private room door was violently pulled open a crack from the inside, Lin Mo reacted incredibly fast! He savagely kicked the heavy wooden door!

A loud crash accompanied by flying wood chips! The door was violently kicked open, slamming hard into Bai Yuxuan’s body behind it, sending him stumbling, almost falling.

The scene inside the private room was completely exposed. General Manager Wang stood up in astonishment, holding the hard drive, while Bai Yuxuan clutched his bruised shoulder, looking at the uninvited guests at the door with a mix of shock and anger. When he saw Lin Mo and Su Wanqing, whom he was protecting behind him, his face instantly turned pale.

“Su… Su Wanqing?! Lin Mo?! What are you doing here?!” Bai Yuxuan’s voice changed pitch.

Su Wanqing peered out from behind Lin Mo, her face still pale. She coldly swept her gaze over Bai Yuxuan’s horrified face, finally fixing her eyes on the hard drive in General Manager Wang’s hand.

“What am I doing here?” Su Wanqing’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a bone-chilling coldness, echoing clearly in the private room. “I came to see how my ‘trusted’ good friend and business partner are stabbing me in the back, planning to make me beg on my knees.”

“Wanqing! Listen to me explain! It’s not what you think!” Bai Yuxuan panicked, trying to argue.

“Shut up!” Su Wanqing interrupted him sharply, her gaze as sharp as a blade. “I heard your conversation clearly! Drugging! Stealing ‘Firmament’! Insulting me! Bai Yuxuan, you truly sicken me!”

Seeing that the jig was up, General Manager Wang’s eyes hardened. He suddenly shoved the hard drive into his chest and roared at the door, “Someone!”

Outside the private room, several burly men brought by General Manager Wang rushed in at the sound, ferociously blocking the doorway.

[Holy s**t! They’re actually fighting?!] Lin Mo’s thoughts once again echoed in Su Wanqing’s head, with a hint of nervousness, but more ruthlessness: [F**k, daring to touch my wife?! I’ll protect this b**ch even if it costs me my life!]

He instinctively pulled Su Wanqing further behind him, his body tensed, like a coiled leopard, his eyes fixed on the thugs. He growled, “Fatty Wang! Bai Yuxuan! This is a crime! The police will be here any minute!”

“Police?” General Manager Wang sneered. “By the time they get here, the stuff will be long gone! Get them! Get the hard drive back! And that woman, grab her!” He pointed at Su Wanqing.

Several thugs immediately lunged forward!

“Su Wanqing! Get down!” Lin Mo roared, not retreating but advancing, delivering a powerful punch to the face of the thug charging first! His movements were swift and brutal, completely unlike his usual mild-mannered assistant self!

“Bang!” The thug was caught off guard, his nose instantly gushed blood, and he screamed as he fell backward.

Chaos erupted instantly! In the narrow private room, tables and chairs were overturned, coffee cups shattered everywhere. Lin Mo, like a mad tiger, relying on astonishing explosiveness and a desperate ruthlessness, stubbornly fended off the attack of two thugs.

He took several punches, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his suit was torn, but he consistently shielded Su Wanqing, not letting her take any impact.

Su Wanqing was protected by Lin Mo in the small safe space behind him, watching his back, which wasn’t particularly broad but now seemed incredibly reliable. She watched him take punches and kicks to shield her, listening to his pained yet still fierce thoughts:

[Hiss… that punch really f**king hurts!… Left! Dodge!… F**k, daring to kick me?! I’ll fight you to the death!… Is the b**ch hidden well?!… The hard drive! I have to get the hard drive back!… Why aren’t the police here yet?!… Just a little longer!… I’ll die before I let these two b**tards touch her again!… My wife… I’ll protect her!]

The two words “my wife” flashed through his chaotic thoughts, and Su Wanqing felt an invisible hand tightly gripping her heart. A sourness, a flutter, and a belated, overwhelming regret instantly engulfed her.

“Lin Mo!” she cried out, her voice trembling with an emotion she hadn’t realized was there, a mix of concern and heartache.

Just then, the shrill wail of police sirens grew louder, instantly tearing through the chaos of the cafe!

“Police! Don’t move!”

Inside and outside the private room, everyone froze. General Manager Wang and Bai Yuxuan’s faces turned ashen. The thugs also stopped moving.

Lin Mo gasped for breath, wiping a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth, still maintaining his protective stance in front of Su Wanqing. He looked back at her. Their eyes met, and Su Wanqing clearly saw the exhaustion, pain, and a hint of… relief? in his eyes.

[Whew… Finally made it… Good thing the b**ch is okay… My face kinda hurts… I’m probably disfigured this time… Wonder if it’ll affect my chances with college girls later… Ouch…]

Su Wanqing: “…” The immense surge of emotion she had just felt was instantly cut in half by this off-key thought. She looked at Lin Mo’s injured but still slightly roguish face, and for a moment, she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

The police quickly secured the scene. General Manager Wang, Bai Yuxuan, and the thugs were all handcuffed. The police recovered the crucial silver hard drive from General Manager Wang.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and stepped forward, showing her identification to the lead officer. “Officer, I am Su Wanqing, CEO of Su Group. This case involves major commercial secret theft and attempted assault against my company. This is my assistant, Lin Mo. He is an important witness and a victim. I will cooperate fully with the investigation.”

Her voice regained its CEO’s composure and authority, clear and articulate. Only when she looked at the pale-faced Bai Yuxuan being led away by the police did her eyes remain utterly cold and indifferent.

The dust settled. The cafe was a mess.

“Does it hurt?” Her voice was very low, with a softness he had never heard before.

Lin Mo was startled, subconsciously wanting to pull away, but she held him firmly. [Hiss… Why is this b**ch’s hand so cold?… Her eyes… they’re strange… they’re making me a little uneasy…]

I forced a somewhat awkward smile, habitually trying to hide behind nonchalance. “It’s nothing. President Su, is this considered a work injury? Medical expenses reimbursed, plus a bonus?”

Su Wanqing ignored his joking. Her gaze looked deeply into Lin Mo’s eyes, as if wanting to penetrate all his disguises and see the man who, in a moment of crisis, called her “my wife” and desperately protected her.

“Lin Mo,” she said, word for word, perfectly clearly, “Let’s go home.”

Then, for the first time, she actively and tightly held Lin Mo’s hand, pulling him along.

The sunlight once again bathed the two of them. Lin Mo was pulled, stumbling a step, feeling the cool yet incredibly firm grip on his wrist. Only one thought remained in his mind:

[It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, this divorce, it seems, won’t happen?! Never mind, Su Wanqing is pretty good too! Hahahaha.]

And Su Wanqing, walking ahead of him with her back turned, heard his inner laughter. That extremely faint, somewhat cunning smile, and the smile of finally seeing certain things clearly, finally bloomed completely on her lips.

The hospital treatment was simple and quick. The bruise on his lip was medicated, and several abrasions on his arm were disinfected and bandaged. The doctor left after a few words of instruction.

Back home, I instinctively walked towards the guest room where I had slept for nearly three years. Just as I turned the doorknob, Su Wanqing’s somewhat gentle voice came from behind me:

“You should get some rest early.”

“Okay.”

In a daze, I heard rustling sounds. Opening my eyes, I saw a stunning scene. Su Wanqing was wearing a nurse uniform, with a pair of long, pale legs clad in white stockings. Everything was exactly as I had imagined.

“Assistant Lin, come to my room to fix my computer,” she said, then turned and walked away, and I was simply captivated and followed. After a passionate night,

Su Wanqing leaned in close to my ear: “Still want a nursing student?”

I was completely bewildered. [How did she know that? I didn’t tell her, did I?]

“You didn’t say it, but I know.”

“B**ch?”

“You’re the b**ch! I can hear your thoughts.”

A few days later…

“Husband, come to my room to fix my computer.”

When I stammered that I didn’t know how to fix it,

“Don’t play innocent. Weren’t you quite an expert last time when I wore the nurse uniform?”
