Chapter 1: Encounter in a Bar

  In the car, Ou Mu Xuan had a dark face, staring straight ahead, seemingly focused on driving, while a certain good-tempered dead girl sat leisurely in the passenger seat reading gossip reports in the newspaper.

  That's the report about last night's dinner party, where the reporters fully exercised their ability to exaggerate and fantasize endlessly, describing the romance between Ou Mu Xuan and Ye Xiang Yu as thrilling.

  They say that they met on a foreign street, fell in love at first sight, and then Ye Xiangyu resolutely gave up her promising future abroad and flew into Ou Muxuan's arms. Ou Muxuan, disregarding his family's opposition, insisted on divorcing to give Ye Xiangyu a name.

  What genius designer and business elite, what perfect match, what golden boy and jade girl words made Ye Xuanmo have to admire those reporters, wasn't she just attending a social event with Ou Muhan? Was it that sensational?

  But what was reported most enthusiastically, of course, was the clothes Ye Xiangyu wore that night, which were described by those reporters in an extremely exaggerated manner, such as "startlingly beautiful", "holy and pure like a queen"…

  "These reporters actually didn't say that I seduced you and used you to get ahead, did you arrange for them to do this beforehand?" Being praised by others, Ye Xuan didn't think much of it, but all the newspapers consistently praising her was a bit strange.

  "Hmm!" Ou Mu Xuan turned his head to glance at her, then immediately shifted his gaze away, letting out a soft monosyllable from his nose.

  Dare not look her straight in the eye, it's not just because of the clothes on her body, but also the kiss marks on her that make people's imagination run wild...

  In his home, she said to go find clothes. Originally, Ou Mu Xuan thought she would casually pick a shirt and then put on a suit to wrap herself up, and then ask him to send her back home. Ou Mu Xuan had already imagined what she would look like and planned to tease her a bit. However, when she changed into the clothes, what he saw was that she had turned his long-sleeved T-shirt into a tube top dress.

  He pulled the T-shirt's collar all the way down to his armpits, then stuck both hands out of the neckline and folded the sleeves into a stylish shape tucked into the collar, covering up the embarrassment of not wearing an undershirt. The length of the T-shirt just fell above his knees, so his casual long-sleeved T-shirt had become someone's tube dress at this moment.

  Looking at someone with a proud face, Ou Mu Xuan was very annoyed. How could he ignore that this little girl is an excellent designer? How could she not be able to handle her own clothes?

  However, the design of her low-cut top undoubtedly exposed all the hickeys on her body. Even with her long hair covering them up, it was still impossible to conceal them. As a result, every time Ou Mu Xuan turned around to look at her, he would always think of his bold kiss last night.

  He wrapped his jacket around her body, while Ye Xuan used being too hot as an excuse to refuse wearing the jacket. So, Ou Mu Xuan turned the air conditioner in the car to its lowest temperature, daring that stubborn girl not to wear the jacket.

  Ye Xuan'er glared at him angrily, then obediently put on his suit jacket. Ou Mu-xuan's expression visibly softened a lot.

  "Ou Mu Xuan?" Ye Xuan Mo gazed out of the window, dazedly calling out her name.

  "Huh?"

  "Can't you just not tell anyone about my relationship with Siu Ying?"

  "Although Situ Ying is a triad, in City A, he basically controls all the underworld forces. If everyone knows you're his adopted daughter, many people will be intimidated by you because of this." Especially Lin Xue and Mo Hanxin, they wouldn't dare to be so reckless again.

  "I don't want to get involved with the underworld." Ye Xuanmu came back to her senses, "Although I don't know if Situ Ying is a good person or a bad person, but I always feel that he adopted me for a reason, I don't want to be his pawn."

  "If he dares to hurt you, I absolutely won't let him off!" Oumu Xuan seemed to have an especially strong dislike for Situ Ying.

  Ye Xuanmo wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and said nothing. She liked clear relationships, who she liked, who she disliked, she liked things to be straightforward. But now, it seemed that many things, many people were becoming more complicated, and she too, seemed to be getting weaker.

  It can't go on like this, is there something she should do?

  "Mommy, what's with the red spots on your body?" As soon as they got home, little milk baby immediately noticed the marks on her, but he was still young and didn't quite understand.

  "......Uh......this......" Ye Xuan could directly tell her son, was it Ou Mu Xuan this beast who did this? "......It's a mosquito, yes, it's a mosquito bite!"

  Mosquito? Xiaonaiwa was very puzzled, "Mommy, didn't you attend a banquet with your boss last night and get drunk and stay at Oumu Xuan's house? How could you be bitten by mosquitoes?" Xiaonaiwa furrowed her delicate eyebrows, thinking seriously, "Does Oumu Xuan's house have such mosquitoes?"

  "......" Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded very firmly, "Yes, not only many, but also very big!"

  Isn't a deadbeat just a blood-sucking mosquito? No, that should be considered a vampire, a vampire who squeezes out the remaining labor force of employees!

  "Mommy dear, would you like your son to get some disinfectant for you?" the little kid asked with utmost innocence.

  "Must! Absolutely need to be disinfected!"

  "By the way, dear mom, early this morning, Si Tu Luo Tian came to find you and said that your phone couldn't get through, looking like he was in a hurry."

  "Did she say what it was about?" Ye Xuan thought it might have something to do with her running into Si Tu Ying last night.

  The little girl brought the perfume and helped her mother wipe it on her neck very innocently. "He only asked me where you were and who you were with, I said you went to Ou Mu Xuan's house and didn't come back at night, as a result, Si Tu Luo Tian didn't say anything and left."

  "......" Although her son seemed innocent, Ye Xiangyu knew that he was absolutely intentional. Any man who hears that the woman he likes has not returned home with another man for a night will think more, right?

  "Mommy, was my answer wrong?" The little kid blinked her amber-colored eyes and asked even more innocently.

  "Right, right!" Ye Xuan'er kissed her own baby's face. "Baby, let's go see your Aunt Jia later, okay?"

  "Mom, don't you have work today?"

  "No way!" Ye Xuanmo replied very firmly. Anyway, there was nothing to do, and today's newspaper was so exciting that Lin Xue and Mo Hanxin would definitely be furious!

  In the office, Mo Hanxin crumpled up the newspaper and slammed it hard against the wall beside her!

  This fox spirit, what kind of trickery did she use? Why would the normally chaste and self-disciplined Ou Mu Xuan be so manipulated by her?!

  On the other hand, Lin Xue was very patiently flipping through those gossip magazines, but his eyes were not on the text, but on the pictures, and Ye Xuanmo in them.

  She is beautiful, so beautiful that she's arrogant, so beautiful that she's domineering, so beautiful that he wants to personally destroy all her pride!

  "Lin Xue, didn't you say you had a way to make her worse off than dead?" Mo Hanxin accused loudly.

  Lin Xue's eyes remained on the newspaper, "The higher you stand, the more painful it is to fall. Now she has many admirers, but soon after, she will have just as many detractors." These words seemed to be directed at Ye Xuanmo in the photo.

  "Do you have a way?"

  "What's the plan?" Lin Xue raised her head, smiled faintly, and a hint of ruthless smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "It's always been there."
