《When My Billionaire Husband Became Sick》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Madam! Something terrible has happened! Hurry up and pack your things. You need to go to the hospital immediately!¡± Having worked diligently for the wealthy Li family for many years, Aunt Wang had mastered the art of remaining calm even in the face of a sow giving birth, rushed in hastily. Jiang Yule, who was curled up on the sofa and looking lustfully at a muscular man on the screen with a big grin, calmly switched the live broadcast channel to the cooking channel and wiped away the ugly leer on her face. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered when she blinked after hearing the voice. She looked at Aunt Wang obediently with a hint of innocence. ¡°Aunt Wang, calm down and speak slowly. Is the sow pregnant again?¡± Aunt Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°No, it¡¯s the master, he¡­¡± The soda Jiang Yule was holding fell onto the smooth marble floor. ¡°Is the master pregnant?!¡± Aunt Wang glared at her in exasperation. ¡°No, the master suddenly coughed today. His assistant has already sent him to the hospital. As the mistress of this house and the master¡¯s wife, you should visit him and show your concern.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s really worrying. Do I have to go and see him in person?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the woman who had spoken suddenly came to her senses, and her expression of disbelief was reflected on the smooth marble floor. ¡°Wait, who did you say coughed?!¡± Aunt Wang pitied her for losing her hearing at such a young age and patiently repeated what she had said. Jiang Yule then collapsed, and if it were not for Aunt Wang who quickly caught her, the delicate young woman would have fallen onto the cold floor. Aunt Wang sighed in her heart. Although Jiang Yule and the master were just a couple in name, everyone in the entire capital would be touched by Jiang Yule¡¯s sincerity. Master Li was indifferent to her fierce pursuit, but she was willing to stay by his side without any dignity and or being valued. She was even willing to sacrifice her freedom. Now that the master was sick, the madam¡¯s heart ached. Aunt Wang felt really touched. Jiang Yule slowly raised her head and said in a trembling voice, ¡°What you¡¯re saying is that my husband, who is worth tens of billions and has countless assets overseas, has a body made of iron and is strong enough to topple Lu Zhishen, will be replaced by me as one of the richest people on Forbes as soon as he dies?¡± Aunt Wang nodded with a worried expression on her face. ¡°The heavens reward those who work hard.¡± Jiang Yule burst into tears. Jiang Yule, who usually has trouble breathing even when basking in the sun, got up nimbly and rushed out of the door. Aunt Wang was completely baffled as she watched her leave. ¡®Why do I feel more worried about the madam than the master?¡¯ The servants gaped in bewilderment as Jiang Yule rushed toward the garage. When she arrived, she saw the Bugatti Veyron, known as the winner of the car race, silently parked there. The smooth and slick black car looked so attractive that it was hard for people to tear their eyes away from it. She walked over quickly and with a flick of her fair and slender wrist, she forcefully pressed down on the car key in her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go, my dark knight,¡± the nearby BYD E6 electric car responded to her summon with a beeping sound. ¡­ On the eighteenth floor of the Imperial Central Hospital, a group of doctors with different ethnicities gathered together. At this moment, they were nervously discussing something. Although they were anxious, they made sure to speak in hushed voices. They were afraid of disturbing the person in the ward. Therefore, when an unexpected soft voice suddenly called out to them, it gave the medical bigwigs a fright. ¡°Excuse me, which ward is Li Xingyi staying in?¡± The mention of Li Xingyi¡¯s name attracted the attention of all the doctors, and they focused on the petite woman in thin clothes who said it. The woman¡¯s eyes were misty, making her already harmless face look even more pitiful. The girl frowned slightly when they did not respond even after a long time. Her soft and warm lips opened slightly, and she asked again, ¡°Where is Li Xingyi, the one who is so sick that he is about to die?¡± The doctors were speechless. The oldest foreigner with deep blue-green eyes pointed at the corridor and answered in perfect Mandarin, ¡°Mr. Li is in the innermost ward.¡± The girl thanked him politely. When she turned to leave, everyone heard her cackling to herself. ¡­ Jiang Yule walked to the entrance of the ward at the end of the corridor and subconsciously took a deep breath. As expected, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in her mind in the next second. ¡®Mission target is in close proximity. Host, please maintain your character setting. If you deviate from your character, you will be electrocuted.¡¯ Jiang Yule changed her previous sloppy appearance and skillfully took out a bottle of eye drops from her pocket and dripped two drops into her eyes.

Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She knocked on the door twice and waited. Soon, a pleasant and alluring voice that made one¡¯s legs go weak came from within the ward. She reached out and opened the door, and she did not see the scene she was expecting to see. The man in the room was not lying on the hospital bed, coughing non-stop. He did not look weak at all. He did not choose to sit on the comfortable-looking soft bed. Instead, he sat on the leather sofa at the side. His straight, long legs looked even more slender than usual under his exquisitely tailored pants. The man had a clear and refined face, and he had deep eyes and a strong nose that gave off a cold aura that kept people at bay. Even his thin lips had a hint of coldness. When he heard her voice, his gaze slowly moved up from the contract in his hand to Jiang Yule who had come in. She then closed the door and walked toward him. Li Xingyi stared at her without saying a word. At the same time, he began counting down in his mind. ¡®Three, two, one¡­ Just as expected.¡¯ After the short three-second countdown ended, the woman in front of him bit her lip, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes before she opened her mouth. His eyes were filled with grief, as if the person sitting here was not Li Xingyi himself, but a portrait of him at his funeral. The man¡¯s expression did not change as he looked at the young woman who was sobbing in front of him, however his eyes narrowed. He raised his hand ready to signal the bodyguard to drive the woman away, but suddenly she coughed. The quietly sobbing girl widened her dark eyes in shock, momentarily forgetting to cry. Her face was filled with grief as she said, ¡°Master Li, how could this be happening? You can¡¯t just leave me all alone! If you are gone, how could I possibly live on?¡± Li Xingyi coldly listened to the woman¡¯s sobbing, as if she was crying on his deathbed. He was about to interrupt when the soft and familiar voice was heard again. ¡®Is this what they mean by ¡°what goes around, comes around?¡± Thank God, amen.¡¯ ¡®Is this a cough? No, this is a blessing of gold!¡¯ ¡®Hurry up and leave. Once you die, I¡¯ll be the youngest, richest woman in the country.¡¯ Li Xingyi secretly frowned. The woman in front of him had obviously kept her mouth shut, yet he seemed to hear a voice for some reason. Jiang Yule gulped when she saw Li Xingyi¡¯s lack of reaction. ¡®Why isn¡¯t he reacting? Did Aunt Wang lie to me?¡¯ ¡®Li Xingyi, you scumbag. Are you actually here to remove a wart?¡¯ The richest man who controlled 10% of the world¡¯s assets would not have warts. He listened to that arrogant, domineering, and even vicious voice, and then looked at the delicate and weak woman in front of him with swollen, red, and thin eyes, who could faint at any time. The stark contrast made Li Xingyi silent. He was not sure what to think. Should he continue to listen? Wiping her tears, Jiang Yule, who had been kneeling until her legs were cramping, quickly changed her posture while wiping her tears. She turned to the bodyguard beside Li Xingyi and winked at him under the cover of her sleeve. ¡®Hurry up, bro. Can¡¯t you see that your CEO detests me? Hurry up and throw me out!¡¯ Li Xingyi did not give the order, so the bodyguards naturally would not act. He could now confirm that the voice did indeed belong to his despairing little wife in front of him. With his years of experience in the business world, he knew that it was best to keep a low profile in the face of the unknown. ¡°Who asked you to come?¡± His voice was low and naturally cold. Jiang Yule was stunned for a moment, then she sobbed again and dragged herself to the man on her knees. The hand that was tugging at the man¡¯s pants was so thin and even a little pale. ¡°I¡¯m here because I¡¯m too concerned about your health¡­¡± ¡®I¡¯m here to wait for your will, big boy.¡¯ Li Xingyi heard her unspoken words again, and he pursed his lips curled into a thin line. ¡°Yang Chen, call the doctor over.¡± He ordered coldly. The bodyguard in black beside him walked out quietly. Two minutes later, he returned with a blue-eyed western doctor. The doctor looked worried. ¡°Master Li, are you feeling unwell?¡± Master Li, who had never been sick, suddenly started coughing. This was no small matter. Li Xingyi calmly sat on the sofa and nodded slightly. ¡°I have difficulty breathing.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Yule looked at him in confusion. ¡®Isn¡¯t it because you¡¯re always eccentric?¡¯ Li Xingyi paused and added, ¡°I¡¯m having auditory hallucinations as well.¡± The doctor¡¯s face was filled with shock. Hearing voices was not a small matter. It was a neurological problem! Jiang Yule had known Li Xing for a year or two, but this was the first time she was not asked to leave by the bodyguards. Instead, she was forced out of the ward by the group of doctors making a fuss. When she came back to her senses, she was already out of the hospital.

Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Fate played a trick on her. She was originally a nine-to-five office worker, but on a dark and windy night, she suddenly died while watching a muscular man¡¯s live broadcast. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the Jiang Yule of this world. She felt like a modern version of Cinderella. She was married to Li Xingyi, the head of the wealthiest family in the capital and the domineering CEO who was in charge of the global economy. Li Xingyi was such an imposing individual that just hearing his name made people tremble in fear. However, just like her, fate played a trick on him as well. The arrogant man who had everything he could ever want had a genetic disease that made him different from ordinary people. His genes predetermined that he would never get sick during his lifetime, but the price he had to pay was that he only had fifty years to live. Li Xingyi did not have the slightest bit of affection for Jiang Yule at all, but they were husband and wife in name. Therefore, after his demise, Jiang Yule would claim half of his assets for herself as compensation for the relationship she had been suffering from throughout the years. When Jiang Yule, who had just transmigrated, learned of this news, she was excited and felt as if she had won a five-million-dollar lottery ticket. With that in mind, she had wanted to send Li Xingyi to the afterlife personally. It was not until they met for the first time that her dream was shattered. It turned out that there was a system bound to her body, and as long as she was near Li Xingyi, the system would activate automatically. She had to act like the original Jiang Yule¡ªa person who purely loved Li Xingyi with all her heart and did not pursue fame and profit. If she did something that went against her character, the system would strike her with lightning as punishment. Jiang Yule had experienced the punishment once. She could only say that it was so painful that her mind went blank, with only one thought in her head¡ªlet me die. After that, she did not dare to disobey the system. All she wanted to do was be like the original and act like a love-struck idiot. She used the past two years to successfully fool everyone into thinking that Jiang Yule loved Li Xingyi to the bone. Jiang Yule hummed as she walked into the underground parking lot when she saw a BYD E6 electric car pass her by. She thought to herself that it was a coincidence to see a car that was exactly the same as hers in this hospital today. As she was thinking about it, she reached into her pocket for her car keys, but she could not find it. Jiang Yule frowned slightly. Just then, the phone in her pocket rang. ¡°Madam, this is Yang Chen. You left your keys in the ward. When I was about to bring them to you, I saw a lot of reporters surrounding the hospital entrance. I¡¯ll drive the master back in your car first.¡± Before Jiang Yule could reply, he hung up. Jiang Yule breathed a sigh of relief and felt herself calm down. She then expressed her frustration by saying, ¡°If you keep preventing me from dealing with Li Xingyi, I¡¯ll have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.¡± ¡­ After Li Xingyi returned to the Li Family¡¯s main residence, he was warmly welcomed by Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang helped him with his shoes and looked closely at the head of the Li Family, whom she had not seen for more than six months. She did not know if it was because of the sickness, but the master seemed to have lost a lot of weight. As Aunt Wang stared at Li Xingyi, his gaze also fell firmly on her face. It was not until Aunt Wang started looking scared that he slowly asked, ¡°Do you know what Jiang Yule has been busy with recently?¡± Aunt Wang was really stunned when she heard that. This was the first time she had seen the master take the initiative to ask about the madam. After considering for a moment, Aunt Wang said, ¡°She¡¯s not busy with anything. She usually stays at home to take care of her little pet.¡± Li Xingyi frowned slightly. Did he hear wrongly? That woman who never gets her hands dirty with menial tasks actually took care of a pet herself? Three minutes later, Li Xingyi fell silent as he looked at the big black pig that weighed more than 120 kilograms. Even Yang Chen, the bodyguard beside him, was speechless. This was the little pet that the madam kept? The back garden, which was specially built to grow expensive flowers and plants bought from all over the world, was now occupied by a pigsty. The flowers and plants that had been carefully taken care of were squeezed into the corner. Li Xingyi was not sure if it was his imagination, but the plants looked dejected. Aunt Wang forced a dry smile. ¡°Well, the madam¡¯s preferences are a little different.¡± No one paid attention to what she said, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet. The pigsty looked like it had been carefully taken care of by someone. It was not the scene of feces and urine splattered everywhere he had imagined a pigsty would be, and there was only a faint smell of disinfectant. The pigsty, which could not be considered big, was also divided into separate areas for resting, eating, and defecating. It was spotless. However, Li Xingyi¡¯s obsession with cleanliness still could not tolerate having such a big pig in his backyard. He said coldly, ¡°Hurry up and take it away.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Aunt Wang panicked and quickly stopped him. ¡°Master Li, you can¡¯t do that. Princess has just given birth to a piglet and is still in its confinement period. If you chase them away, how could such a weak piglet survive?!¡± ¡°Then let Jiang Yule go with them.¡± Li Xingyi coldly gave his ultimatum and turned to leave. ¡®What kind of person names their pet pig Princess?¡¯ On the other side, Jiang Yule, who still did not know what was happening back home, was staring blankly at her WeChat balance of 35.80 yuan. It was 60 yuan to take a taxi from the hospital to the Li Family¡¯s main residence. If she had known that she needed the money earlier, she would not have given the muscular man on stream a tip yesterday. She jogged to the pedestrian street near the hospital and half-heartedly found a restaurant that seemed cheap. She stood at the door and ordered a fried skewer from the restaurant on her phone, and she set the Li Family¡¯s main residence as the delivery address. After waiting for more than ten minutes, a delivery man in blue pushed open the door and walked into the restaurant, and he came out with a bag of fried skewers. Jiang Yule went up to him with a smile. ¡°Excuse me, is this takeout for the Li Family¡¯s residence?¡± The delivery man stopped in his tracks when he heard her voice. He was stunned when he saw that it was a young woman with a delicate face who was talking to him. ¡°I was the one who ordered this fried skewer. If it¡¯s alright with you, can you bring me along with you?¡± Jiang Yule was full of smiles. She was determined to show the most brilliant smile of her life to the delivery man. The delivery man was stunned. ¡®Well, this is an ingenious way to have someone send you back home, I¡¯d say.¡¯ This was the first time the delivery man had heard such a request. He looked at the order information for the fried skewers in his hand, then looked up at the girl with a soft voice in front of him with a puzzled expression. ¡°¡­Your name is Kick the Cripple¡¯s Good Leg?¡± ¡­ ¡°If you¡¯re satisfied with my service, please give me a five-star rating.¡± After leaving the fried skewers and Jiang Yule at the entrance of the mansion in front of him, the delivery man got on his motorcycle and disappeared at the end of the street as fast as the wind. He was afraid that he might accidentally witness some power struggle and get killed. The Li Family¡¯s residence was not open to the public. Usually, there were only a few security guards guarding the door. However, today was different. Jiang Yule counted at least six or seven bodyguards in black suits patrolling the door. These guards were strong enough to kill two of her with a single punch. Li Xingyi really had returned, which meant that her carefree life of more than six months was officially over. It was early autumn, and the wind carried a hint of cold, which swept up the fallen leaves that had just fallen by the roadside that had not been cleared in time. Jiang Yule squatted by the roadside and ate the fragrant fried skewers outdoors. After finishing all the fried skewers, she burped and threw the trash into the trash can near the door. She deliberately lingered at the entrance for more than an hour and turned on her phone camera to check her face. After confirming that her face was so pale that she could faint at any moment, she walked into the courtyard. As soon as Jiang Yule entered the hall, Aunt Wang came up to her. ¡°Madam, why have you only just returned? Look at how cold your face is. It¡¯s gone completely pale!¡± Aunt Wang draped a blanket over her and whispered into her ear, ¡°The master is eating in the restaurant, and¡­ He had discovered the existence of Princess just now. The master pitied her for having just given birth, so he didn¡¯t let anyone throw the pigs out.¡± Jiang Yule was shocked. When did Li Xingyi become so kind? ¡°He asked you to leave with the both of them.¡± ¡®Hehe, as expected, I shouldn¡¯t have any expectations for this guy.¡¯ Today¡¯s Angus beef was especially juicy and tender, and Jiang Yule could smell it as soon as she reached the entrance of the restaurant. ¡°Master Li, I¡¯m back.¡± Even though she was covered with a blanket, the girl¡¯s face was still pale, and her slender body could not help but shiver under her thin dress. Li Xingyi glanced at her indifferently before looking away. Witnessing this, Aunt Wang could not stand his disinterest in Jiang Yule anymore and spoke up, ¡°Master Li, the madam was so anxious once she found out that you were sick. She went to the hospital to see you without even wearing any warm clothes.¡± Li Xingyi nodded his head slightly. She was indeed so anxious about waiting for him to write his will that she forgot to wear warm clothing and ran straight to the hospital. Seeing that he agreed with her, Aunt Wang seemed to be encouraged and continued, ¡°She hasn¡¯t had a single drop of water today, and the wind is strong outside. How can her body withstand it?¡± Li Xingyi looked up at the trembling Jiang Yule and nodded. It was not his style to make things difficult for women. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask them to take a seat. An angry shout came from outside the courtyard. ¡°Which immoral person threw their trash into my bucket?!¡± Jiang Yule could not help but shiver. ¡®Wasn¡¯t that a trash can?¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Xingyi kept his mouth shut and looked at Jiang Yule with an intriguing gaze. The old gardener stomped in angrily, but when he saw just who it was sitting at the dining table, he immediately stopped in his tracks. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Master Li¡­¡± He usually worked in the garden and would not come to the main house unless there was something important. However, he was furious today and wanted to ask Aunt Wang to help him find the person who lacked basic manners. He did not expect to see the master, who had not returned for more than half a year. Looking at Jiang Yule, who was shivering at the dining table, the old gardener knew that the madam still could not win the master¡¯s favor. ¡®How pitiful.¡¯ ¡°Whatever it is, we¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow. Do not disturb the master¡¯s meal.¡± Aunt Wang said with a frown. The gardener ran out without looking back. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Master Li. I didn¡¯t educate everyone well enough. That¡¯s why they are acting so unruly.¡± Aunt Wang lowered her head and said guiltily. The sudden farce made Li Xingyi lose his appetite. He stood up and walked to Jiang Yule. The man¡¯s white shirt was rolled up to his elbows, revealing a well-defined forearm. With a broad shoulder and long legs, he had the mature body of a man that anyone would find hard not to admire. Jiang Yule could feel the man¡¯s breath suddenly on her, which caused her body to tremble imperceptibly, and she felt that she had started blushing. She shyly lowered her eyes slightly and could not bring herself to look at him. She could only stare at his long legs. ¡®Why are you only wearing one single layer of pants instead of two layers? When you get older, you¡¯re going to suffer from arthritis. By then, I¡¯ll bring you to some random dance studio and force you to watch me as I happily dance away with some other old man.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s gaze moved down and landed on her slender and fair calf. ¡®How could this woman have the gall to think that way about me?¡¯ As if she felt his gaze, Jiang Yule pulled her legs back. ¡®Can this guy tell that I¡¯m actually wearing multiple layers? ¡­No, it couldn¡¯t be.¡¯ Li Xingyi pursed his lips. He really wanted to ask her why she referred to him with the title ¡®this guy¡¯. He was a 188-meter tall, overbearing CEO with a fortune of tens of billions. This probing gaze fell on Aunt Wang and Yang Chen, who did not know that he could hear Jiang Yule¡¯s thoughts. They both found the situation strange. The master and the madam had been married for two years, and it had always been the madam who put up with his cold behavior. However, the master seemed to have changed. Not only did he take the initiative to ask about t madam¡¯s recent situation, he was also staring at the madam in front of the two of them for the first time. Was it love after marriage? Under the gaze of everyone present, Jiang Yule slowly raised her head, and her clear eyes were filled with a layer of mist that made people unable to help but feel pity for her. ¡°Master Li, please don¡¯t be angry. Uncle Sun didn¡¯t mean to disturb your meal. Are you feeling better? You didn¡¯t seem to have any appetite just now. Ever since I found out that you were sick, I couldn¡¯t eat or drink. I couldn¡¯t even swallow.¡± ¡®The fried skewers just now were a little salty. I should have ordered some bottles of soda to go with them.¡¯ Li Xingyi wanted to get out immediately after hearing that. ¡°Master Li, aren¡¯t you going to eat some more? Why are you leaving so soon?¡± Aunt Wang asked as she watched him turn around and leave without hesitation. ¡°The master won¡¯t be staying here tonight.¡± Yang Chen answered for him, Jiang Yule, who was standing behind them, could not help but smile smugly. ¡®Oh, Little Li Xingyi, you¡¯re still too young to go against me.¡¯ Li Xingyi paused, but he did not turn around. After walking out of the house, he turned to Yang Chen and said, ¡°Make an appointment for tomorrow with a psychiatrist for me.¡± Chen Yang looked puzzled. Could it be that the master sensed that his wife had finally wormed her way into his heart, and he could not bring himself to accept that? And that he¡¯s suspecting that there¡¯s something wrong with his head instead? ¡°Yes, but Master Li¡­ Didn¡¯t you come back here today for the sake of the young master?¡± he reminded him. Li Xingyi glanced at him indifferently, and the man immediately broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°I apologize, I¡¯ve overstepped my boundaries.¡± ¡­ After Li Xingyi¡¯s figure disappeared from sight, Jiang Yule slowly moved to the chair beside the dining table and weakly sat on it. She did not know why, but the moment Li Xingyi left, her body began to ache uncontrollably. It was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat. ¡®Is it because I didn¡¯t cry and beg Li Xingyi to stay, so the damn system decided that I violated the character setting again? Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard a voice she had never heard before call to her in her mind. Jiang Yule was so scared that she had goosebumps. However, she did not have any strength left in her body, and she could not even move her fingers. ¡®Who are you?

Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Such a soft, cute, and feminine voice definitely did not belong to the original system that threatened to strike her with lightning. The voice in her mind seemed to sigh in relief and continued, ¡®Hello, I¡¯m your new system.¡¯ ¡®Isn¡¯t one enough? Why is there another one?¡¯ Jiang Yule thought. ¡®Don¡¯t misunderstand. I won¡¯t hurt you like the other one,¡¯ The system answered, ¡®You might not know this, but the world you¡¯re in right now is the world from a book called ¡°The CEO¡¯s Pampered Little Grandfather¡±. Because of the problem with the world barrier, many transmigrators had their eyes on this world. They want to change the plot of this world and separate the male and female protagonists. What you have to do is to help us stop those with ulterior motives from doing anything that is harmful to the male and female leads. In short, we need you to protect this world.¡¯ Jiang Yule nodded thoughtfully. Then, without any hesitation, she responded, ¡®Oh, that sounds interesting, but I¡¯m not going to do it.¡¯ The system spoke weakly again, ¡®If you don¡¯t help, you will die. Without my protection, the other system will make sure that when Li Xingyi dies, you will die alongside him.¡¯ It was indeed something that the crazy old system that loved the male protagonist would do. ¡®Fine, where¡¯s the male lead then? I¡¯ll force him to get a marriage certificate with the female lead right now.¡¯ The new system did not expect Jiang Yule to accept this so quickly. It could not help but say excitedly, ¡®Actually, he¡¯s already at the door!¡¯ As soon as she finished speaking, a cold and domineering childish voice suddenly came from outside the door. ¡°What right do you have to say that Ultraman doesn¡¯t exist in this world? You don¡¯t know anything!¡± Jiang Yule was shocked by the childish scream. In the next second, her exhausted body suddenly regained strength. Before she could figure out the reason, she saw Aunt Wang walk over with a troubled expression. ¡°Madam.¡± Before Jiang Yule could ask her what was wrong, she saw a little boy running out from behind her. The little boy was as fair as a dove, with black eyes on his fair and clean face. His hair was a little blonde, and he was wearing a suit. He looked a little like Li Xingyi. He stared at Jiang Yule for a long time before he pursed his lips. ¡°Why did Uncle marry such a weak woman?¡± The little boy¡¯s tone was filled with disdain. Aunt Wang quickly stopped him. ¡°Young Master, you can¡¯t say that. Even if the madam can¡¯t bear the burden, she¡¯s still the rightful mistress of this house.¡± The little boy snorted coldly, ¡°Even if she¡¯s the mistress, it doesn¡¯t matter? Uncle doesn¡¯t like her at all.¡± Jiang Yule looked at the little boy who could not even reach her waist. Then, she peeked out of the door and asked the system, ¡®Who is this little girl, and why isn¡¯t the male lead here yet?¡¯ The system said lovingly, ¡®Look down, he is the male lead!¡¯ Jiang Yule looked down and paid attention to the little boy standing in front of her. He looked up and said in a childish voice, ¡°Woman, I¡¯m talking to you! Why aren¡¯t you answering me? Are you trying to play hard-to-get with me?¡± Jiang Yule¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡®This little midget is the male lead¡­?¡¯ The system replied shyly, ¡®How is he? You can see how handsome he is even at such a young age, right?¡¯ ¡®He¡¯s quite handsome. He has the kind of handsomeness that hasn¡¯t been through nine years of compulsory education yet.¡¯ The system was speechless. Jiang Yule, who had suddenly found the male lead, retracted her gaze and turned to walk upstairs. ¡°Aunt Wang, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± The little boy¡¯s face was filled with shock and disbelief. ¡°She¡­ Was she looking down on me, the young master?!¡± The little boy looked up at Aunt Wang with teary eyes. Could this be like those stories in TV dramas where a down-and-out young master lived under someone else¡¯s roof, and his cruel stepmother beat and scolded him? ¡®Ultraman Tiga, my eternal god, where are you?!¡¯ Jiang Yule had no idea what the little boy was thinking after she left. She closed the door and lay on the sofa lazily. Li Xingyi did indeed have a nominal son, who was the child of his biological brother. The child lost his father when he was born, so Li Xingyi adopted him under his name and became his legal guardian. However, in reality, they were uncle and nephew. The child had been living in a villa in the suburbs and had been taken care of by a dedicated servant. She did not know why Li Xingyi suddenly brought him back here. ¡®Li Sui¡¯an is the name of the male protagonist of this book. He was adopted by his uncle when he was young. Li Xingyi was able to satisfy all of his material needs and gave him the best education, food, clothing, and housing. But he forgot that Li Sui¡¯an was just a child who needed the love of an adult. Therefore, he grew up without any love, and he developed a twisted personality and became paranoid,¡¯ the system explained.

Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®The male protagonist isn¡¯t mature yet. If he¡¯s influenced by a transmigrator with ill intentions during his growth, his future love with the female protagonist will definitely be disrupted. Have you read one of those novels about some degenerate transmigrating into a female supporting character and then tried seducing the young male protagonist? They do all of that just to get the main character to be loyal to them from a young age. Your mission is to stop those people.¡¯ The system whispered, ¡®Good luck.¡¯ Jiang Yule yawned and felt drowsy. ¡®Okay, but the problem now is that I haven¡¯t read the original book, so I don¡¯t know how the story will develop. Where can I even find those evil supporting characters you mentioned?¡¯ The system said confidently, ¡®You don¡¯t have to worry about that. I have already memorized the original content of the book by heart. The ones possessed by transmigrators are the characters of this world, and I can tell immediately if they act in a way that goes against that character¡¯s personality. And you don¡¯t even have to actively seek them out. They will come here to try to get close to Li Suian themselves.¡¯ Jiang Yule was skeptical. Could it really be that simple? Jiang Yule lifted her skirt and pulled down the long pants she was wearing beneath them, which were bunched up at the crook of her legs. She then took her pink top off in disgust and quickly put on her gray sportswear. She collapsed on the soft bed once she was done. ¡®If you¡¯re with me now, does that mean that the other depraved system has been replaced?¡¯ She asked. ¡®Unfortunately, that is not the case¡¯ the system said pitifully, ¡®I didn¡¯t replace it. Without enough energy, I can¡¯t separate it from you. All I can do is temporarily suppress it and prevent it from shocking you. However, you should still act the same way around in Li Xingyi, or you¡¯ll be discovered by the omnipresent transmigrator. The only way to make it disappear completely is to drive all the transmigrators out of this world and then destroy it after I accumulate enough energy. Only then can you truly be free.¡¯ An expression of anger flashed across Jiang Yule¡¯s face. She had been subdued by the system for so long that she had almost forgotten that she was not one to take things lying down. The new system was right. The best defense is a good offense. Only by taking the initiative could she obtain freedom. Therefore, she accepted the new system¡¯s suggestion. Jiang Yule suddenly sat up straight and asked, ¡®By the way, what should I call you? If both systems call themselves the system, wouldn¡¯t it be very confusing?¡¯ she asked. The system¡¯s voice was delighted. ¡®Then give me a name! I want one that sounds cute.¡¯ Jiang Yule smiled and said, ¡®You¡¯ve found the right person for the job. I¡¯m good at naming things. You¡¯ll be called Wang Jianguo!¡¯ With that, the system had obtained a new name. The system now known as Wang Jianguo said hesitantly, ¡®I don¡¯t think this name suits my style very much¡­¡¯ Jiang Yule raised her eyebrows and said, ¡®It¡¯s very suitable. Don¡¯t you think this name sounds awe-inspiring?¡¯ ¡®But it doesn¡¯t sound cute at all¡­¡¯ the system muttered to itself. Seeing her get out of bed, Wang Jianguo asked subconsciously, ¡®Where are you going?¡¯ Jiang Yule casually tied her hair into a bun. ¡®Since we¡¯re going to take the initiative, we can¡¯t just wait for all the evil supporting actors and supporting actresses to come knocking on our door, right? I¡¯ll go ask that little boy if there have been any strange people suspiciously approaching him recently.¡¯ Wang Jianguo was speechless. ¡®Aren¡¯t you the strangest one?¡¯ It was about to tell Jiang Yule to act with more subtlety when they suddenly heard the phone that Jiang Yule had casually thrown on the carpet vibrate. Although the vibration was soft, it was especially obvious in the quiet and empty room. It was the sound of her phone receiving a text message, and Jiang Yule could not help but be frozen in place when she heard that. Because of Li Xingyi, the phone she was using was developed by the Li Corporation which he owned, and the security system of their phones was exceptionally secure. She did not have many friends in this world and would not receive messages from them. Usually, she did not even receive messages from the muscular streamer whom she watched. Besides, it was not the time for the streamers she was following to start their broadcast. With a puzzled expression, she picked up the worn-out phone on the carpet and unlocked it. The next second, a message from a private number appeared on the screen. [Baby, long time no see. How are you doing?] Wang Jianguo shouted in her mind, ¡®Based on my experience, this person is definitely a transmigrator!¡¯ Jiang Yule nodded and started tapping on the screen. [If you want to know how I¡¯m doing then send me some money. And it had better not be a small amount.] The phone vibrated a second later. [Huh?!] [What¡¯s taking so long? Hurry up and send me my money!] Wang Jianguo was speechless. The host¡¯s way of chatting is really hardcore!

Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule was dragged out of the bed by Aunt Wang the next day. Because she had chatted with the system until midnight, she was having a hard time waking up. ¡°Madam, you may have been able to sleep as much as you wanted before, but the situation is different now. Even if Master Li doesn¡¯t come back to spend the night, the young master is still present.¡± Aunt Wang had always treated Jiang Yule well, but she would occasionally nag her. Jiang Yule closed her eyes and went to the bathroom. She washed her face with cold water before she finally felt like she had woken up. When she went out, Jiang Yule could not help but laugh out loud when she saw the little dumpling of a boy sitting on the sofa in the living room. His chubby legs were swaying while he was pretending to be mature by keeping his upper body straight. She quickly got rid of her mocking smile and seamlessly replaced it with a friendly face. ¡°Hello, Li Sui¡¯an. I¡¯m your uncle¡¯s wife. You can call me aunt.¡± The little boy cried out in his heart. This woman clearly ignored his existence yesterday. Why was she suddenly acting like a different person today? ¡°Hmph, where were you earlier? This young master isn¡¯t a man you can just summon and dismiss at will,¡± the little boy sneered and grumbled incomprehensibly under his breath. Jiang Yule pursed her lips and turned to ask Aunt Wang, ¡°Did Master Li say anything about Li Sui¡¯an before he left? Did he mention anything about me having the privilege of pinching his face?¡± Li Sui¡¯an also looked over, and his eyes were sparkling with anticipation. Aunt Wang cleared her throat. ¡°The master informed me that the young master will be staying here in the foreseeable future. He has also hired a tutor for the young master¡¯s education. He didn¡¯t mention anything else.¡± Li Sui¡¯an looked away in disappointment and sighed faintly. Jiang Yule noticed that his mood had soured. ¡®He¡¯s still a child and needs the care of his family.¡¯ Her phone vibrated again just as she was thinking about this, which caught the attention of Aunt Wang and Li Sui¡¯an. Jiang Yule slowly took out her cell phone as she looked at the two of them. [I can¡¯t wait to meet you, darling.] Jiang Yule scowled. [Don¡¯t bother me and get back to whatever frivolous thing you were doing.] The unknown person replied almost instantly, [Why are you acting so ferociously even though you don¡¯t even know me yet? After we meet, I¡¯m confident that I¡¯ll make you fall in love with me.] [Wow. You made me vomit yesterday¡¯s dinner.] The unknown person did not reply to that. ¡°Madam, did you make a new friend?¡± Aunt Wang asked warmly. At the end of the day, Princess was just a pig. Jiang Yule could not share her problems and emotions with it. ¡°When will the young master¡¯s tutor arrive?¡± She avoided answering Aunt Wang¡¯s question. Aunt Wang looked at the time. ¡°He agreed to come over at one in the afternoon.¡± Jiang Yule nodded. She then turned around and walked out. Looking at Jiang Yule¡¯s back, Li Sui¡¯an frowned in dissatisfaction. ¡°Why is she leaving again? Does she even care about me?¡± ¡°She went to feed Princess, her pet pig,¡± Aunt Wang replied. Li Sui¡¯an jumped down from the sofa. His small and chubby body swayed for a moment before he steadied himself. ¡°Did my uncle actually agree to let her keep a pet here? I want to see!¡± After saying that, he followed her eagerly. Aunt Wang smiled helplessly and sighed. He was just a child and liked new things. ¡®I hope that both the young master and the madam will get along well. They were both lonely people.¡¯ Outside, Li Sui¡¯an chased Jiang Yule all the way into the backyard. According to the plot of a melodramatic novel, if the stepson who lived in the stepmother¡¯s house obeyed every command, he would definitely be tormented in the future. He had to show his dominance to gain the upper hand and let this woman know that he was not weak. A minute later, Li Sui¡¯an raised his head and gaped at the big black pig that was at least five times bigger than he was. He fell silent for once. Jiang Yule was about to close the door when she saw the small figure hiding there. ¡°What are you doing here? Since you¡¯re here, come over and help me.¡± Li Sui¡¯an looked down at his small suit from a luxury brand, then at the big black pig and the piglet next to it. He subconsciously took two steps back. ¡°No way! I¡¯m absolutely not helping!¡± Jiang Yule did not object. ¡°Then stand at the door and keep still.¡± Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s chubby face scrunched up as he watched Jiang Yule skillfully stir the pig feed after putting on a protective suit. I¡¯ll be a ruthless and domineering CEO when I grow up. How can I be frightened by two pigs? I have to find a way to create trouble so that she will know that I¡¯m too great to mess with.¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Sui¡¯an gritted his teeth and took a hesitant step forward. However, Jiang Yule suddenly caught the little piglet, pressed it down on the ground, and secured its legs. Then, she brought out a box full of all sorts of medicine and first-aid tools before she wore a pair of single-use gloves and grabbed a surgical knife out of the box. Li Sui¡¯an stopped in his tracks. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yule raised her head and gave him a gentle smile. She raised the hand that was holding the knife and waved it in the air. ¡°I¡¯m about to castrate the piglet.¡± Li Sui¡¯an tightened his legs in fear. He could feel a chill instantly rising from his feet all the way to his skull. ¡°Y-you¡­ You vicious woman!¡± He pointed at Jiang Yule with his trembling chubby finger and stammered, then turned around and fled. He ran away as if he was going to lose something as well if he stayed. Jiang Yule shrugged her shoulders and continued with what she was doing. After a piglet was born, it had to be castrated within a month¡¯s time. Jiang Yule decided that she was going to castrate hers today. Looking at the way she skillfully handled the procedure, Wang Jianguo asked curiously, ¡®Weren¡¯t you an office worker? How are you so good at this?¡¯ Jiang Yule smiled and bashfully scratched her head, ¡®My family¡¯s financial situation wasn¡¯t great while I was still studying. Because of that, I worked part-time every winter and summer vacation at a pig farm. That¡¯s why I know a little about this.¡¯ Wang Jianguo praised her cutely, ¡®My host is awesome!¡¯ Jiang Yule worked until noon. By then, Aunt Wang had already prepared lunch and was waiting for her when she came back. Looking at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table and the empty seat opposite hers, Jiang Yule asked her, ¡°Where¡¯s the young master?¡± Aunt Wang looked troubled. ¡°He has locked himself with his Ultraman toy in his room since he came back from seeing Princess. He refused to eat even when I asked him to.¡± Jiang Yule nodded. ¡°Then send the food to his room while it¡¯s still hot.¡± Aunt Wang nodded. She realized that as long as she was not by the master¡¯s side, the madam would act like an emotionally stable adult. After lunch, Jiang Yule returned to her room. She was lying on the bed while discussing with Wang Jianguo whether she should find a way to catch the person who harassed her when she heard a knock on the door. ¡°Madam, the young master¡¯s tutor is here.¡± Aunt Wang called from outside. Jiang Yule got off the bed and walked to the door. Just as she was about to exit the room, she suddenly stopped. ¡®Wang Jianguo, do you have information on Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s upbringing from the original book?¡¯ Wang Jianguo was intelligent and understood her suspicions immediately. ¡®Host, do you suspect that the tutor might be a transmigrator with information about him?¡¯ Jiang Yule nodded. ¡®The tutor came here the day after I received the tasteless text message from that pervert saying that we¡¯ll meet soon. I don¡¯t believe this is a coincidence.¡¯ Wang Jianguo quickly found and sorted out the information of the tutor before reading it to Jiang Yule. Jiang Yule went back in to change out of her sportswear after listening to his information carefully. She picked a white dress at random from the dozens of identical white dresses in her wardrobe and put it on. ¡­ Ouyang Xuan, who had been invited by Aunt Wang to have a cup of tea in the hall, was secretly inspecting the materials of the main residence of the Li Family, the richest family in Imperial City. His gaze froze when he caught sight of the woman who was slowly walking down the spiral staircase. Her figure was slender and elegant, and perhaps because she remained indoors often, her skin tone was much fairer compared to ordinary people. Her beautiful black hair was draped over her shoulders, and when she looked up, her moist little doe-like eyes made his heart tremble in delight. Ouyang Xuan¡¯s expression flashed with a strange emotion that was hard to detect. He reminded himself in his heart that he was in a different world now. Over here, he was no longer the innocent sugar baby who lived off women. He could be a different man. The most important thing for him now was to seduce this beautiful and rich woman who was loved by no one but had a lot of money. After that he had to think of a way to kill her husband and replace him as the male lead¡¯s nominal father! ¡°Hello. Are you the tutor, Ouyang Xuan?¡± Jiang Yule¡¯s voice was soft as she sat down gracefully across from him. Ouyang Xuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He was so attracted to the woman¡¯s charm that he had completely forgotten how badly she had humiliated him when he sent her those text messages to seduce her. He stood up and extended his hand to Jiang Yule with a refined motion. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into what he believed was the most handsome smile. ¡°Greetings, Ms. Jiang Yule.¡± He clearly knew who she was, but he still referred to her as Ms. Jiang instead of Madam Li. He was obviously treating her like a young woman who had yet to marry. Jiang Yule could see through all the dirty schemes in this person¡¯s mind.

Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule ignored his outstretched hand and remained seated in the middle of the sofa. She simply smiled politely at him. At that moment, she embodied the image of a rich and noble lady, and this scene was the first thing Li Sui¡¯an saw when he came down from his room. Ouyang Xuan did not feel awkward about the rejection and quietly withdrew his hand before sitting back down. To change the mood, he praised the unique and beautiful flowers and plants in the Li Family¡¯s courtyard. Jiang Yule eyed the man discreetly. A man who could meet the colossal standards that Li Xingyi had for the tutor of his sole heir had to be extraordinary, and Ouyang Xuan was just that. He was a graduate from one of the top universities in the country and was one of the youngest among his peers to earn his doctorate. After graduating, he was even invited by his university to enlighten his juniors. He was a scholar who was awarded all sorts of accolades. He was a person who was not only well-educated, but also had good looks. He looked handsome and gentle, with a distinct scholarly atmosphere. He was the kind of person that would make anyone subconsciously relax their guard when they see him. Jiang Yule admitted that he was indeed pleasing to the eye, but he was far from the muscular type that she liked. His small body looked even more delicate than her own. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like a weak little chick to her. She introduced Li Sui¡¯an, who had walked beside her, ¡°Li Sui¡¯an, say hello to your new tutor, Ouyang Xuan. From now on, he will come over to teach you daily.¡± The little dumpling-cheeked boy was about to frown when she called him by his full name, but he knew better than to disgrace the Li Family¡¯s name by misbehaving in front of guests. He looked at her with a complicated expression before turning to nod at Ouyang Xuan. ¡°Hello, Teacher Ouyang. My name is Li Sui¡¯an.¡± This was the tutor that his uncle had personally arranged for him. He had to perform well. Ouyang Xuan smiled and nodded at Li Sui¡¯an. ¡°Hello, Young Master Li. As you¡¯ve just heard, my name is Ouyang Xuan, but you can call me Teacher. I believe that we¡¯ll get along very well.¡± Ouyang Xuan used a soft tone with Li Sui¡¯an, but inwardly, his thoughts were very different. ¡®You¡¯d better be obedient, brat. I¡¯ll be your stepfather in the future.¡¯ Ouyang Xuan wanted to say more, but Jiang Yule suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Li Sui¡¯an, bring the tutor to your room. You two should get to know each other.¡± Li Sui¡¯an nodded his head in a rarely seen docile manner. Although the little boy was still young, he was very aware of his social responsibility. No matter how much he quibbled with Jiang Yule, they were still family, and he would never disrespect his elders in front of outsiders. Ouyang Xuan¡¯s gaze darkened slightly. The relationship between Jiang Yule and Li Sui¡¯an was different from what he had expected. The Jiang Yule described in the book was insignificant to the Li Family, but it seemed that that description was not true. The servants treated her with respect and adoration, and even the male protagonist himself obeyed her. It seemed that he had to change his plans. ¡®I know that the seemingly proper ladies always have the most fun behind closed doors and are the easiest to seduce!¡¯ Ouyang Xuan grinned slightly at the smiling Jiang Yule. He believed that victory was in his grasp. After Li Sui¡¯an brought Ouyang Xuan upstairs, Jiang Yule asked Aunt Wang to return to whatever she was doing. Once she finished her cup of jasmine tea, Jiang Yule asked Wang Jianguo, ¡®If I eliminate the transmigrator, can I drive him out of this world?¡¯ Wang Jianguo replied, ¡®Yes, he has to be eliminated. After a transmigrator is dealt with, their soul will be expelled from this world, and the original owner of the body will be able to return. However, you cannot do this personally.¡¯ ¡­ At the end of the day, Ouyang Xuan suppressed the frustration in his heart as he explained the workbook exercises to Li Sui¡¯an. Even though he finally got his hands on a body with a high IQ, this little brat was so smart that he was making him look stupid. He could grasp every problem and concept he explained to him in one go. ¡®Ugh, how am I supposed to show off how good I am?¡¯ The little boy sat in front of the study table and said without raising his head, ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t you go down for a glass of water and some fresh air. I¡¯ll do these questions on my own for a while.¡± Ouyang Xuan had been waiting to hear these words. He felt that he did not need to maintain his image in front of a child and eagerly accepted the chance to leave. ¡°Alright, I am a little thirsty.¡± Then, he stood up and walked towards the door with eyes filled with impatience. Just as he was about to head downstairs, he suddenly heard the sound of a violin coming from a room at the end of the corridor. Based on the knowledge of the original owner of his body, he could tell that the song being played was ¡°The Last Rose of Summer¡± by Ernst. The gentle sound of the violin held a slow and steady rhythm. The tone of the song gradually became sorrowful, and it conveyed the performer¡¯s attachment to youth and love as well as a faint sense of loneliness. Ouyang Xuan¡¯s body walked towards the room at the end of the corridor uncontrollably. At this moment, the violin stopped.

Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He impatiently pushed open the ajar door in front of him. ¡°You were playing ¡®The Last Rose of Summer,¡¯ right? No matter how much you put on an act, I can hear your loneliness from your violin as well as your desire for love. Don¡¯t torment yourself this way, Jiang¡ª¡± Before he could finish speaking, the person who was facing the window slowly turned around, and revealed herself to be a kind-looking old lady who was filled with surprise and shyness. She was the versatile housekeeper of the Li family who knows a little bit of everything¡ªAunt Wang. When she saw the person at the door, Aunt Wang¡¯s eyes moistened slightly. She subconsciously took a step forward and said, ¡°Mr. Ouyang, did you¡­ did you actually understand my music?¡± ¡°I, uh, I¡¯m sorry, I misheard!¡± Ouyang Xuan quickly closed the door. Because his movements were too sudden, his arm was juddered from the shock. ¡®How humiliating! This is a humiliation that I had never experienced in two lifetimes! The mansion, the melodious music, the dim lighting, and the room at the end of the corridor¡­ All these elements combined, but the woman was not Jiang Yule?!¡¯ ¡­ ¡°Achoo! Who¡¯s talking about me behind my back?¡± Jiang Yule, who was squatting in the pigsty and observing the piglet, suddenly sneezed. Wang Jianguo suddenly said, ¡®Someone seems to be playing the violin.¡¯ Jiang Yule put down her tools and listened quietly for a while. Then, she smiled and said, ¡®Not bad, right? It¡¯s Aunt Wang. She may be working as a housekeeper now, but she actually graduated from a professional music academy when she was young. She dabbles in all kinds of instruments and is especially good with the violin. Even that scumbag Li Xingyi said that her violin-playing is exceptional.¡¯ Wang Jianguo was surprised. ¡®Host, why don¡¯t you learn from Aunt Wang whenever you¡¯re bored? I want to hear you play the violin, too.¡¯ Jiang Yule reached out and patted the little piglet¡¯s butt. ¡®Forget it. I¡¯m better at scamming than playing the violin.¡¯ Wang Jianguo replied, ¡®Please, can you learn something other than that?¡¯ It changed the topic again and asked, ¡®Have you thought about how to deal with Ouyang Xuan?¡¯ Jiang Yule stood up and dusted her hands. ¡®Hehe, it¡¯s just a matter of having someone else do the dirty work. Today is Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s first day back at the main residence. Li Xingyi will be coming home to have dinner with him tonight. Then Ouyang Xuan¡ª¡¯ Halfway through her explanation, a familiar voice came from behind her. ¡°Ms. Jiang, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you need me for something?¡± Jiang Yule turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, but she saw nothing. ¡®What the hell? Did Ouyang Xuan fall to his death in some corner?¡¯ ¡°Ms. Jiang?¡± Jiang Yule heard a sound and looked around, only to find him standing in the corner of the backyard, surrounded by flowers and plants. He was even holding a megaphone. Jiang Yule was speechless. Ouyang Xuan could not believe his eyes. As the wife of the head of the Li Family, it was fine if she did not play the violin, but why would she raise a big black pig in this estate that was worth a fortune?! When he was very young, Ouyang Xuan was chased and bitten by a wild boar, and he almost lost his life. Therefore, except when he ate pork, he was extremely afraid of porcine creatures. ¡®Why didn¡¯t the book mention anything about her raising pigs?!¡¯ ¡®Wang Jianguo, if he finds out that I¡¯m raising pigs, wouldn¡¯t it ruin my image?¡¯ Wang Jianguo consoled her, ¡®Don¡¯t worry. The Jiang Yule in the original story is almost invisible. The general descriptions of her were that she was weak and frail, and that she loved Li Xingyi deeply. There was no mention of her hobbies, so you can do whatever you want.¡¯ Jiang Yule understood. She took off her disposable gloves and nodded slightly at Ouyang Xuan. Her small doe-like eyes seemed to glisten. ¡°Mr. Ouyang, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Ouyang Xuan suppressed the fear in his heart and comforted himself with the fact that the pigsty looked well-built and that nothing bad should happen to him. Besides, it was normal for beautiful and rich women to have little hobbies that no one knew about. It was harmless. ¡°The young master grew tired from studying and wished to have a break. So, I came out for a walk and happened to see you in the backyard,¡± Ouyang Xuan lied with a straight face. Jiang Yule nodded. ¡°Alright, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ouyang. It¡¯s getting late. Why don¡¯t you stay for dinner with us? Aunt Wang¡¯s culinary skills are better than your average chef¡¯s.¡± She suddenly remembered that there were a few not-so-fresh abalones in the fridge. ¡®What a bargain for you, kid!¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When these words reached Ouyang Xuan¡¯s ears, he only heard ¡°why don¡¯t you stay?¡± After a moment of shock, he almost could not suppress his excitement. The smile on his face gradually widened uncontrollably. ¡°Then I¡¯ll accept your offer.¡± Jiang Yule walked out of the pigsty. Ouyang Xuan wanted to approach her and talk to her, but the big black pig suddenly twitched and squealed loudly at him. Ouyang Xuan was so frightened that he did not dare to go forward. Jiang Yule turned around slowly and gently said, ¡°Sleep well, Princess. Mommy will come see you tomorrow.¡± Ouyang Xuan, who was frightened by the big black pig, had no time to react and catch up to Jiang Yule as she walked away. He glared at the big black pig with a vicious expression. Since he was alone at the moment, he did not need to hide his true feelings and revealed all the malice in his heart. ¡°You fat, stinky pig! Bullsh*t Princess! If you dare to squeal at me again, I¡¯ll seduce that woman and get her to turn you into a stew!¡± As he cursed at Princess to his heart¡¯s content, he did not notice the camera flashing with a green light in the corner of the pigsty. ¡­ That evening, Li Xingyi¡¯s assistant called and said that the master would be back for dinner, which made Aunt Wang and Li Sui¡¯an happy. Aunt Wang busied about in the kitchen to prepare for his arrival, while Li Sui¡¯an went to his room to change his clothes. As for Ouyang Xuan, no one knew where he had gone or what he was up to. In the huge living room, only Jiang Yule, who had nothing to do, was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the channels on TV. Jiang Yule switched to the news channel. The formally dressed host calmly reported that a psycho murderer had appeared in B City last week. She then switched the television off. None of the shows were interesting to her. ¡­ At 8 p.m., Li Xingyi¡¯s luxury car drove up to the entrance of the main residence. Jiang Yule, who had deliberately changed into a white dress that she had never worn before, stood by the door and waited quietly for her husband. When she saw Li Xingyi get out of the car with his long legs, she hurried over and stopped in front of him. Jiang Yule raised her head and gazed at her husband affectionately with her doe-like eyes, and Li Xingyi did not ignore her presence like he did in the past. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and bent down to look at Jiang Yule as she drew closer. ¡°Master Li, I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± ¡®Tsk, why isn¡¯t there any wind today? It¡¯s affecting my performance too much¡­ Damn it, I forgot to bring my eye drops. What if I can¡¯t cry?¡¯ In the next second, Jiang Yule squeezed out two drops of tears. ¡°Yang Chen.¡± The bodyguard next to him replied in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m here, Master Li.¡± Li Xingyi walked past the teary Jiang Yule and said in a deep voice, ¡°Fire that psychiatrist and find a better one.¡± His current psychiatrist claimed that he had cured nearly a thousand people¡¯s mental illnesses over the past three years. Who would believe that when he was still hearing things?! Ouyang Xuan, who had come out with Aunt Wang and Li Sui¡¯an, stood behind them and stared at the handsome man who made him feel inferior and jealous. ¡®So, this is the man who helped the Li Family secure their position as the richest family in the original story, Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s backer¡ªLi Xingyi.¡¯ Li Sui¡¯an ran forward and called out sweetly, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re back!¡± His big black eyes gazed lovingly at Li Xingyi. He was so cute that Li Xingyi wanted to pinch his face. He was a person who liked all cute things. However, as the overbearing CEO who was in charge of the global economic lifeline, he could not reveal that in front of others. He had to maintain an aloof fa?ade at all times. Therefore, he only gave a faint ¡°hmm¡± and walked on. Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s fluffy head drooped behind him, and he pouted his pink lips. Most people looked good when seen from afar, but on closer inspection, the flaws on their faces would be more noticeable. However, Li Xingyi was different. Ouyang Xuan could see him very clearly under the bright illumination of the living room, and he could not see any flaws at all on Li Xingyi¡¯s face. In fact, he was even more handsome up-close. Especially his amber-colored pupils, which emitted a unique glow under the reflection of the lights. ¡°Hello, Master Li. I am Ouyang Xuan. I am the tutor in charge of teaching the young master. Today is my first day of work.¡± His smile was polite and firm. He deliberately stood a step away from the other man to avoid letting Jiang Yule see that he was shorter than Li Xingyi by more than a head. Li Xingyi swept his gaze over him coldly. His gaze, which carried the dignity of someone superior, seemed to see right through his gentle and refined appearance and into his innermost thoughts, causing Ouyang Xuan to instantly break out in a cold sweat. ¡°You¡¯re just the tutor? Then, why are you still here at this late hour?¡± Li Xingyi asked bluntly. Ouyang Xuan, who was trembling in fear, could not help but feel embarrassed when he heard this question. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule walked over and explained to Li Xingyi in a soft voice, ¡°Master Li, I was the one who invited Mr. Ouyang to stay for dinner with us. He spent the whole afternoon tutoring Sui¡¯an and was very attentive. It would be remiss of me to not at least invite him to join us for dinner.¡± Li Xingyi wanted to say that being attentive was the minimum requirement of what he should do. The salary he gave Ouyang Xuan was more than twice the salary earned by other tutors. If he was not diligent in tutoring Li Sui¡¯an, Li Xingyi could easily replace him with someone better. However, as a cold and overbearing CEO, he did not say all of this out loud. Jiang Yule did not know what he was thinking and only saw Li Xingyi nod his head. ¡®Heh, I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s putting in effort to teach or not, but this kid is definitely determined to make you a cuckold.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s figure paused, and his cold gaze swept over Ouyang Xuan as sharp as a knife. The tutor was so frightened that he almost fled. ¡®Why is Li Xingyi so scary?! Other than his appearance, what about him does Jiang Yule like?!¡¯ If Jiang Yule could read minds, she would definitely have answered him decisively. It was his wealth, stocks, and listed corporations, of course! Aunt Wang brought Li Sui¡¯an to the chair next to Li Xingyi. Jiang Yule was about to sit across from him, but Li Xingyi suddenly pointed to the seat on his left and said, ¡°Sit here.¡± During the meal, Ouyang Xuan felt very uncomfortable, as though he had eaten sh*t. The abalone in his bowl had a faint fishy smell, and his mood was very complicated. He sat alone on one side of the dining table, while Li Xingyi sat on the opposite side with a lovely child on one side and a beautiful young woman on the other. Anyone who looked at them now would say that they were a happy family of three. When did this story begin to spiral out of control? Before he sat down for dinner, Ouyang Xuan had already made a plan. He was going to pretend to drop his chopsticks on the ground and use the opportunity to secretly touch Jiang Yule¡¯s hand under the table while he was picking them up. ¡®I will seduce her until she becomes confused and loses interest in Li Xingyi!¡¯ Jiang Yule noticed Ouyang Xuan¡¯s complicated expression and was amused. ¡®This kid definitely wanted to sit on the same side as me to do something shameful under Li Xingyi¡¯s nose while we¡¯re eating.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s movements stuttered. The chopsticks slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a loud clatter on the smooth marble surface. Jiang Yule pretended to twist her body a few times, as if she wanted to bend down to pick it up. However, she did not move even after pretending for several seconds. ¡®I told you to dress warmer! Now your hands and feet are numb from the cold. That¡¯s not ideal for someone who¡¯s still young, but you deserve it!¡¯ At the side, Aunt Wang quickly bent down to pick up the chopsticks. Ignoring the strange voice in his ears, Li Xingyi observed Aunt Wang¡¯s expression as she picked up the chopsticks. Everything was normal. It seemed that no one was causing trouble under the table. Li Xingyi calmed down and continued to focus on the steak on his plate. There was his wife, who would inherit half of his assets after his death, and the other was a tutor, whom he had spent a lot of money to hire. He absolutely would not allow these two to do anything despicable in front of him. Opposite him, Ouyang Xuan sneered in his heart. ¡®Li Xingyi looks so prim and proper yet he can¡¯t even hold a pair of chopsticks properly. If he isn¡¯t a weakling, then what is he?¡¯ Aunt Wang, who had brought new chopsticks for Li Xingyi, said guiltily, ¡°These chopsticks are too slippery. I¡¯ll replace this batch of chopsticks tomorrow.¡± Li Sui¡¯an nodded in agreement. ¡°Aunt Wang, don¡¯t buy the kitchenware from this brand in the future. The design doesn¡¯t suit my tastes.¡± Even Yang Chen, who had been standing quietly in the corner, stepped forward and said, ¡°It¡¯s a product of the Xu Group. I¡¯ll inform your assistant tomorrow to cancel the letter of intent we signed with them.¡± Li Xingyi nodded slightly and was about to speak when he heard the voice again. ¡®Haha! Winter is coming! Let the Xu Group go bankrupt!¡¯ Jiang Yule, who was beside him, looked angry, as if she was feeling injustice for him. ¡°Let¡¯s continue eating,¡± Li Xingyi said expressionlessly. The three people who were complaining about the chopsticks immediately stopped. This series of actions stunned Ouyang Xuan. ¡®Is this what a legendary wealthy family is like? It¡¯s just a pair of ordinary chopsticks. Why does it seem like the chopsticks had committed an unforgivable crime?!¡¯ After dinner, there was still some time to rest. Ouyang Xuan wanted to boast his excellent teaching qualifications, so he told Li Sui¡¯an to show off in front of Li Xingyi by reciting the ancient poems that he had learned today. Li Sui¡¯an was excited when he heard the suggestion. After hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Yule suddenly thought of a question. ¡®Is the reason for Li Xingyi ignoring this little boy because he¡¯s too mature and sophisticated for his age?¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the orphanage where she lived before, the couples who came to adopt children preferred kids who were not only in good health, but also good at sweet-talking and acting like spoiled children. They wanted children to pamper. ¡°Li Sui¡¯an, come here.¡± Jiang Yule waved at him. Seeing her, Ouyang Xuan, who was talking to Li Sui¡¯an, had his eyes lit up. He bent over and said to him, ¡°Hurry up and go over. Your aunt is looking for you.¡± Then, he gave Jiang Yule a warm smile. Jiang Yule did not even bother to look at him. Li Sui¡¯an, who had been summoned, walked towards Jiang Yule unwillingly. ¡°Why did you call for me?¡± She bent down and asked him, ¡°Are you planning to recite the ancient poems you¡¯ve learned to your uncle?¡± Li Sui¡¯an widened his eyes and said angrily, ¡°How did you know that? Were you eavesdropping on us?!¡± Jiang Yule did not feel like explaining and went straight to the point, ¡°Do you want your uncle to like you?¡± Li Sui¡¯an frowned slightly and looked at her like she was stupid. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you can¡¯t recite ancient poems.¡± Jiang Yule said earnestly. Li Sui¡¯an was confused. ¡°Why not?¡± Although he was a child, Jiang Yule did not want to use baby talk, and seriously reasoned with him, ¡°If you show how much you¡¯ve learned, your uncle will be very impressed with Teacher Ouyang¡¯s teaching ability. And in the future, he will entrust you to him without worry, and he won¡¯t feel the need to care about you often. And If you¡¯re too sensible and outstanding, you will be viewed as a child who doesn¡¯t need adults to worry about. Your uncle won¡¯t even know what else he could do to take care of you since you already do such a good job at taking care of yourself.¡± Panic flashed across Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s eyes. He stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Jiang Yule¡¯s clothes. ¡°But I want Uncle Li to come home and visit me often.¡± His voice was slightly trembling, Jiang Yule patted his shoulder. ¡°Then do as I say, okay?¡± She leaned closer to his ear and whispered something. Li Sui¡¯an was a little skeptical. ¡°Should I really do that?¡± Jiang Yule nodded solemnly to show her affirmation. Ouyang Xuan, who was left by himself, looked at the two of them whispering to each other. He felt so jealous. ¡®Why aren¡¯t I the one whispering to the rich and beautiful woman?¡¯ On the sofa in the living room, Li Xingyi was reading the financial news when Ouyang Xuan walked over and told him that Li Sui¡¯an was going to show him what he had learned. Li Xingyi looked at the child who was nervously standing beside him and nodded in agreement. Jiang Yule also walked over and asked him in a soft voice if she could listen to the little boy. There were outsiders present today, so Li Xingyi didn¡¯t intend to make a fool of himself by arguing with her and simply nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± He said in a deep voice. Because he had not spoken much the whole night, his voice was a little hoarse. Even so, his voice was so alluring and pleasant that Ouyang Xuan felt jealous to the bone. Li Sui¡¯an took two steps forward, cleared his throat under the expectant gazes of the crowd, and then started singing. ¡°Wanna take you, baby, take me higher! Gonna Tiga, take me, take me higher!¡± The gut-wrenching and ear-piercing rendition of the Ultraman theme song spread throughout the Li Family¡¯s main residence, and everyone was stunned silent. The first person to be tortured by this sound was, of course, Li Xingyi, who was closest to him. ¡®What in the world has this tutor taught him¡­?¡¯ Li Xingyi thought to himself. He raised his hand to signal Li Sui¡¯an, who had started crying halfway through the song, to stop singing. Li Xingyi stood up in this tensely quiet atmosphere and walked up to Ouyang Xuan, who looked confused and flustered. His voice was so cold that it could freeze a person to death. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to transfer the fees to you today. You don¡¯t have to come again in the future. Thank you for your service.¡± Ouyang Xuan was rooted to the ground, and he did not know what to do. His face gradually turned pale. He moved his mouth and wanted to explain to Li Xingyi that he had never even heard that song before, but the pride of his original body did not allow him to speak. Li Sui¡¯an, who had stopped crying, looked at the man in front of him in fear. After dealing with Ouyang Xuan, Li Xingyi turned around and nodded at him. ¡°Come here.¡± Li Sui¡¯an first looked nervously at Jiang Yule, who seemed to have become invisible in the corner. Seeing her nod, he quickly walked over to his uncle. Li Xingyi reached out and stroked Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s soft hair. For a moment, he felt a little complicated about what had just happened, but ultimately, he decided that it did not matter. At least he knew that singing was not a path for this child. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to B City tomorrow.¡± he said indifferently. Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. The woman who raised the big black pig was telling the truth. ¡®This trick really worked!¡¯ Jiang Yule, who was standing at the side, looked at Ouyang Xuan¡¯s pale face. A smile flashed across her eyes. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wang Jianguo finally reacted. ¡®Host, why are you using Li Sui¡¯an to get Li Xingyi to fire him? How are we going to eliminate him when he¡¯s gone?¡¯ Jiang Yule smiled slyly. ¡®Who would hire someone who was fired by Li Xingyi on his first day of work? It was only a matter of time before a person like Ouyang Xuan, who was used to squandering money, ran out of cash.¡¯ ¡®Wow, you¡¯re so smart!¡¯ Wang Jiang replied. Jiang Yule was in a good mood when she thought that Li Xingyi was about to go to B City. This was great. She could finally let her guard down and did not have to put on this pretentious persona in front of him. Her freedom and her beautiful life were finally coming back! ¡°You too.¡± Li Xingyi¡¯s deep voice interrupted her fantasies. Jiang Yule did not understand what he meant for a moment. She asked in a daze, ¡°What about me?¡± On the other side, Li Xingyi had already turned around with the young master. What he said next was like a bolt from the blue that struck her head. ¡°You will be going with us tomorrow.¡± ¡­ ¡°Princess, I¡¯m leaving the house for a few days. Aunt Wang will be bringing you food. You have to be obedient at home, okay?¡± Jiang Yule rubbed her pig¡¯s head sadly. Ever since Li Xingyi had asked her to go to B City with him yesterday, she had tried everything she could to dissuade him and make him give up on bringing her along. However, he seemed to have been bewitched by the idea and insisted on her presence. Jiang Yule did not dare to show too much reluctance. Even though that stupid system had not shown itself in her mind for a long time, she knew that the possibility of being punished by deviating from her character setting still existed. Therefore, when Li Xingyi and Li Sui¡¯an, who had been excited the whole night, appeared at the gate, Jiang Yule had already been waiting there for a long time. The morning breeze blew across her face, and made her face look even paler. Her slender waist was hidden under a white gauze dress, and a thin cardigan was draped over her shoulders. She stood at the door with her head lowered. The moment she saw Li Xingyi, her eyes instantly lit up, and she quickly put on a sunny smile. ¡°Master Li, you¡¯re here!¡± Li Xingyi nodded slightly. Judging from her appearance, Jiang Yule was indeed the type he would like. She was delicate and charming. ¡®Damn, I left my pants at home. I¡¯m freezing to death.¡¯ Or at least she would be if he could not hear her thoughts. After a few days, Li Xingyi finally realized that the voice he heard was not an auditory hallucination, but was in fact Jiang Yule¡¯s inner thoughts. After he got into the car, he glanced at the woman beside him who was staring at him with a face full of love, and he was extremely puzzled. Since this was not her nature, why did she pretend to be so annoying? Her suspicious nature made Li Xingyi more interested in her, the person who had been married to him for two years and had been living in his house like an invisible person. ¡°Have you sent that pig away?¡± Li Xingyi, who took the initiative to speak for the first time, asked. On the outside, Jiang Yule pitifully begged Li Xing to give her more time, but in her heart, she was secretly complaining, ¡®You are just jealous that I raised Princess so well and healthy. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you killed six turtles in a row during kindergarten.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s body froze, and his mind began to frantically think of who had told Jiang Yule about his blunder. Seeing that Li Xingyi was ignoring her, Jiang Yule felt much more relaxed. She wished that Li Xingyi would treat her like an invisible person forever. The two of them had been married for two years now. Other than when they signed the pre-marital agreement, the two of them had almost never communicated. Jiang Yule was the only one who would persistently go after Li Xingyi. She waited downstairs at the company for work, woke up early to make a lovely bento, was wary of all the women that appeared around Li Xingyi, and forced his female secretary to resign from her job. Li Xingyi was tired of hiding his impatience and disgust for her after going through all this many times. Later on, he simply stopped showing any respect to her and instructed the company¡¯s security guards to kick her out if they saw her appear at the workplace entrance. He did not even return to his main residence because he could not stand being in the same room as her. At this point, he was currently living somewhere else. Li Xingyi uncontrollably remembered all the things she had done. Besides not understanding why Jiang Yule would hide her true personality, Li Xingyi was also particularly curious about another matter. Why did she hate him so much? She hated him to the point where her mind actively cursed him every time they met. After all, before she became a nuisance, he did not treat her badly after their marriage even though it was a marriage forced onto him by his brother. He had even promised to compensate her for all her years of wasted youth after he passed away.

Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ouyang Xuan knew how terrifying a wealthy family was. After all, when the husband of the rich woman he was seeing discovered him, he sent all sorts of people to harass him and make his life miserable. However, he was able to dodge them every time while avoiding any danger. After that, he had to change locations to continue searching for his next target to seduce. Ever since he had left the Li Family¡¯s residence yesterday, he was ready to find a new job with the intention of getting closer to Jiang Yule and the male protagonist. However, nobody wanted anything to do with him. It had only been one night since he was fired by Li Xingyi, but it was as if the whole world already knew what had happened. He sent his splendid resume everywhere, but without exception, everyone rejected it. Even the small companies that he could not even bother to consider in the past had ruthlessly rejected him. Ouyang Xuan, who was wearing an exquisitely tailored suit, sat on a bench in the park. His leather shoes were already stained with a thin layer of dust, and they were not as shiny as when he left the house. If he was the original character, his years of knowledge and experience would give him the confidence to work hard and change his predicament. However, Ouyang Xuan, who was used to seducing rich women with his charm, was nothing like him. Even if his looks were exactly the same as the original, he would still subconsciously revert to his own thinking when encountering hardship. In the face of adversity, he lost the courage and boldness to move forward. The only way he knew how to deal with this problem was to use the considerable amount of money left behind by the original. However, when it rained, it poured, and a few minutes ago, all of his assets had been cheated away by a group of online scammers. He felt like his only escape route had been blocked. Without money, he would not be able to go to all kinds of high-class places and buy luxury clothing that made him look better. Even the water and electricity bills of his villa that he could pay with less effort than a wave of his hand had become a concern this month. ¡®Why am I the one who has to face such misfortunes? Am I not a transmigrator? Am I not the main character of this book?!¡¯ Ouyang Xuan grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. At that moment, the private investigator he had previously hired sent him a message stating that Jiang Yule had gone to B City. He suddenly had an idea. ¡®Why do I have to seduce Jiang Yule? I can just kidnap her and have my way with her before demanding a ransom from Li Xingyi! And I have to get back at that little b*stard who deliberately tricked me too. I¡¯m going to teach him a lesson!¡¯ His desire for revenge almost overpowered his rationality. This became his last hope. ¡­ Li Xingyi did not like noisy environments and had always preferred to stay in hotels away from busy areas when he went on business trips. However, this time he specially instructed his secretary to book a room in Haiyue Hotel, which was a five-star hotel in the downtown area of B City. Knowing that Li Xingyi had come here despite his preferences, the CEO and all the managers of Haiyue Hotel were waiting at the entrance to welcome him. Jiang Yule obediently followed behind Li Xingyi. ¡®Look at all of these bootlickers. They¡¯re practically worshiping little Li Xingyi just because he¡¯s rich. Tsk tsk, money is so hard to earn, and life is so challenging for the rest of us.¡¯ Li Xingyi turned around to look at the managers when he heard this. They broke out in a cold sweat and were afraid that their flattery was making him unhappy. He ignored them after a while and gave a nod to his secretary. Li Xingyi¡¯s secretary was a young but mature man named Wu Bing. He was in charge of taking care of the madam and the young master. Jiang Yule and he were old acquaintances, and he was grateful to her because she chased away the previous female secretary and gave him the chance to rise to this position. ¡°I¡¯ll be taking care of the both of you now,¡± he said as Li Xingyi went away to attend to his other matters. Secretary Wu smiled politely at Jiang Yule, then lowered his head to Li Sui¡¯an, who was a little unhappy, and said, ¡°Young Master, Master Li instructed me to bring you around B City today, so you can get used to the environment. Also, when Master Li goes for his meeting tomorrow, he will bring you along with him.¡± Li Sui¡¯an instantly perked up. ¡°Is that true?¡± Secretary Wu smiled. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true. Knowledge from books can be easily obtained through studying, but one¡¯s vision and perspective require influence from childhood.¡± He understood the master¡¯s painstaking efforts to groom Li Sui¡¯an as the next heir. ¡°Secretary Wu, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to bring him out by yourself. I need to go back and rest.¡± Jiang Yule stretched lazily. Wu Bing had already become accustomed to the two faces of this woman when her husband is present and when he¡¯s absent. He did not invite her to come along. Instead, he said goodbye to Jiang Yule politely and left with Li Sui¡¯an. Jiang Yule then found her room according to the room number on the room card. Just as she was about to swipe her card to enter, she suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door behind her. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She turned around reflexively and saw a familiar figure. It had only been one day, but the person in front of her seemed totally different and unfamiliar. He looked calm and greeted her politely as if they were meeting for the first time. ¡°Miss Jiang? What a coincidence to see you here. Are you staying here too?¡± Jiang Yule nodded slightly. She was polite but distant. She said curtly, ¡°Mr. Ouyang, nice to see you here.¡± Then without waiting for his reply, she swiped her card and walked into her room. Jiang Yule¡¯s attitude toward Ouyang Xuan was still the same as before. However, Ouyang Xuan, who had been frustrated from everything going wrong yesterday, felt that she was looking down on him. He even imagined a hint of disdain in her eyes. ¡°How dare you act so high and mighty? I will make sure that you suffer later.¡± He rubbed the bottle of sedative hidden in his pocket and stared at the closed door of Jiang Yule¡¯s room with a sinister smile. Jiang Yule had just entered the room and was about to change out of her uncomfortable dress when she heard her phone vibrate. It was a message from an unknown number. [Darling, wait for me.] She deleted the message after a quick glance and then opened another message from an unknown number she received a few hours ago. [Even though this kid has read so many books, he¡¯s actually a simple-minded fellow. I only tempted him a little, but he completely fell for my trap. Send me your card number, and I¡¯ll transfer the money to you right away.] Her fingers quickly tapped on the screen. [Not now. Wait for me to contact you. Then, I¡¯ll transfer double the amount to him.] By then, the original owner of the body would have returned. Although they had only briefly exchanged a greeting just now, Jiang Yule had already noticed the embarrassment that Ouyang Xuan was trying to hide. The mud on the soles of his leather shoes gave him away. There was a section of the main road leading to the hotel that was under construction, and he had probably walked over from that area, which explained why there was mud on his shoes. He could not even afford to take the bus here after paying to stay in the room opposite hers. Wang Jianguo listened quietly to her host¡¯s analysis. Its soft voice was filled with admiration for her. ¡®Host, you¡¯re awesome! You deliberately lured that snake here, so you can deal with him when he tries to do something, right!?¡¯ It was indeed bound to a clever host! The corners of Jiang Yule¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡®Him being here isn¡¯t part of my plan. I didn¡¯t lure him here, and I didn¡¯t expect him to follow me here either.¡¯ Wang Jianguo panicked. ¡®Then how should we deal with him?!¡¯ Jiang Yule unhurriedly removed her makeup and casually tied her long hair into a loose bun. ¡®There doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s anything we can do about it, so let¡¯s forget about it for the moment and get some food.¡¯ In order to maintain the original character¡¯s image of not liking to eat, she only drank a few sips of drinks on the journey and did not eat anything. She had been starving the whole time. Even when she saw Ouyang Xuan just now, the first thought that popped up in her mind was that his black and white suit looked like a chocolate sandwich biscuit. She had originally planned to order room service, but there was something wrong with the hotel¡¯s phone in her room. The line was busy no matter how many times she tried calling the restaurant. Therefore, she decided that she would just go down to the restaurant herself. She remembered Wu Bing mentioning that the Haiyue Hotel¡¯s restaurant was on the third floor as she left. Jiang Yule took out her phone on the elevator, but it only took a short while for the elevator to bring her from the seventh floor to the third. Jiang Yule then shifted her gaze away from the news on her phone that read, ¡°The murderer is back!¡±. In another hour, the muscular man she was following would start streaming, so she did not have much time to waste here. The third floor was exclusively for dining and had no rooms for guests to stay in. The whole floor only had a caf¨¦ that people visited to discuss their business and the restaurant itself. She went past the caf¨¦ and opened the door to the restaurant. A pleasing artificial lake could be seen from the massive window that spanned the floor all the way to the ceiling. Sitting by the window gave diners a wide view of the hotel garden, and it was a very popular spot. However, there was no one in the empty restaurant, and it was very quiet. The only sound came from the screen hanging on the wall that was broadcasting the restaurant¡¯s special for today, which was fresh Australian lobster. Jiang Yule walked toward the seafood section without thinking. The restaurant had a section of the kitchen that was open for the diners to see, which allowed them to observe how the ingredients they had chosen were cooked into delicious dishes. Jiang Yule was looking for the big lobster shown on screen when she found a familiar figure. ¡°Li Sui¡¯an?¡± Jiang Yule was a little surprised. The child who had lowered his head looked up and was shocked when he saw Jiang Yule. She walked forward and looked at him. ¡°What are you doing here? Where is Secretary Wu?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Sui¡¯an seemed a little disappointed as he said, ¡°The company suddenly needed Secretary Wu for something, so he brought me back here.¡± Jiang Yule put two and two together. ¡°Is the phone in your room not working as well?¡± Otherwise, why would a child like him feel the need to come to the restaurant? Li Sui¡¯an frowned. ¡°That¡¯s right. The basic services of this hotel are horrible. I¡¯ll have to ask Uncle to tell their CEO off.¡± Jiang Yule did not care about his complaints. ¡®I have to check with someone else and see if all the phones in the hotel are down.¡¯ She looked around the huge restaurant and finally saw someone in the Japanese food section. She saw a muscular chef who had his back to the two of them behind one of the kitchen counters. From his posture, he seemed to be fiddling with something. Jiang Yule went to speak with him, and seeing Jiang Yule leave, Li Sui¡¯an did not want to be by himself. He jumped down from his chair and followed behind her. Jiang Yule did not mention it when she realized that he was following her. She greeted the chef who had his back to them, ¡°Hello, Chef. May I know whether the hotel¡¯s landline is working or not?¡± The man did not react to Jiang Yule¡¯s words. He just stood there motionlessly. Jiang Yule frowned slightly and took another step forward. She patted the man¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°Chef, can you hear me?¡± Before she could continue, the chef¡¯s body, which she had patted lightly, suddenly collapsed and turned around like a deflated ball. Jiang Yule saw blood spilling out from the huge hole in his chest. His eyes were filled with fear as he died a miserable death. Jiang Yule subconsciously took two steps back. She controlled her trembling hands and forced herself to turn around calmly. She grabbed Li Suian, who was not even as tall as the counter and was tiptoeing to look at her, by the collar and picked him up. She covered his mouth with her hand and ran away. The sudden physical contact made Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s face turn red, and he struggled to get out of Jiang Yule¡¯s grasp. However, a strange bright red suddenly entered his line of sight. A chill ran straight up from the sole of his foot to the top of his head, and he subconsciously wanted to scream as his dark pupils filled with fear. ¡°Lower your head and keep your eyes closed.¡± Feeling the child in her arms trembling uncontrollably, Jiang Yule lowered her voice and instructed him. At the same time, she silently increased the speed of her escape. Li Sui¡¯an trembled and nodded blankly. His two little hands, which were about to break free from Jiang Yule¡¯s embrace, fell down weakly and grabbed onto her hands tightly. Although the children of the Li Family had not grown up soaked in blood, they were accustomed to the occurrence of murder cases. Jiang Yule did not take the elevator. Instead, she went to the stairs at the end of the corridor. She told herself to calm down. The hotel lobby was definitely not a safe place to go. The lack of alerts indicated that the staff there was probably in grave danger and was not in a position to warn the guests. Jiang Yule tried her best to get rid of all the terrible thoughts in her mind. She focused all her energy on her feet and climbed the stairs as quickly as she could. Fortunately, her room was on the seventh floor, which was not far from the third floor. If she had stayed in a room on one of highest floors today, she would probably be half-dead from climbing. She carefully pushed open the door of the seventh floor and peeked into the corridor. After making sure that there was no one around, she ran toward her room door in a hurry. After placing Li Suiang on the ground, Jiang Yule pinched the back of her hand to ensure that it was no longer trembling. She then began to rummage through her bag for her room card. When she finally touched the thin card, she finally exhaled the breath she had been holding in. But as she did that, a shrill scream came from the end of the corridor. ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me! Someone, help!¡± Immediately after, there was another muffled sound of a sharp object piercing into flesh followed by a creepy laughter that made her shudder. Jiang Yule¡¯s fingers trembled, and she dropped her room card. The sound of the room card falling onto the marble floor was very noticeable in the empty corridor, and the laughter suddenly stopped. Then the sound of the muffled footsteps of a person rapidly approaching was heard. Li Sui¡¯an wanted to scream. He stumbled back a few steps and covered his mouth before he could cry. Jiang Yule frantically picked up the room card, swiped the card to open the door, and then locked the door once the both of them were inside. For the first time, Jiang Yule realized how quickly a person could be driven to the edge. Fortunately, the door of the Haiyue Hotel was of good quality, so the sound of the door closing was not very loud. But the moment the room key card fell on the ground, the person already knew that they were here. The first half of Jiang Yule¡¯s life was uneventful, and she had only seen this kind of situation in dramas. She had always thought that those kinds of murder cases would never happen to her. However, she had transformed from a nervous viewer following the protagonist on the screen to the protagonist herself who was experiencing fear.

Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule dialed Li Xingyi¡¯s number on her phone while trembling. She begged him to quickly answer. Jiang Yule¡¯s tensed emotions suddenly relaxed the moment she heard his deep voice. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Xingyi was indeed the same as always. He did not tell Jiang Yule to call the police or think of a way to save himself. He only said one thing. ¡°Wait for me in your room.¡± After hanging up, Jiang Yule squatted down and took a few seconds to calm herself down. Then, she got up and carried Li Sui¡¯an, who had tears all over his face, into the innermost room. She put him into the bottom of the closet, then found a pair of earplugs and stuffed them into his hands. Jiang Yule gently reminded him, ¡°You won¡¯t be able to hear anything with those on. Remember, before your uncle comes for you, do not come out no matter what.¡± The little boy nodded while sobbing. Just as Jiang Yule turned to leave, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her pants. He asked with a trembling voice, ¡°Where are you going? Aren¡¯t you going to wait for Uncle Li with me?¡± Jiang Yule forced a smile that did not give away how afraid she felt. ¡°You believe in light, right? So, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. Ultraman will definitely come to save me.¡± She was trying to deceive herself and Li Sui¡¯an with her false bravado. Jiang Yule then went to the door. She cursed as she saw the pair of scarlet eyes that were flashing with a strange light on the screen of the intercom. Even though she knew that the murderer could not see inside, she was still quaking with fear. Jiang Yule let out a long breath and put on a dry smile. ¡®Jianguo, have you ever heard of the Chinese stratagem ¡°to kill with a borrowed knife¡±?¡¯ Wang Jianguo was already scared out of its wits and did not respond to what Jiang Yule said, however, Jiang Yule did not mind. She took out her phone again and tapped a string of numbers on the screen and hit the call button. The other person picked up almost instantly. Jiang Yule stared at the pair of scarlet eyes as she said on her phone softly, ¡°Teacher Ouyang, I¡¯ve brought some food for you. We¡¯re already at your door.¡± ¡­ Although Ouyang Xuan had plenty of crazy ideas, he had never had the idea of kidnapping someone before. He had no idea what to do, so he asked for help on a mysterious forum that was full of perverts and criminals. Because it was on the dark web, the forum was not regulated by anyone, and everyone on it could freely comment without getting banned. A few minutes after Ouyang Xuan posted his question, an anonymous person contacted him and sent him a 15-minute-long video. There was even a message asking him to study seriously. Ouyang Xuan played the video and stared at the victim in the video who was covered in scars. She was crying bitterly while begging the person behind the camera to let her go. He was inexplicably excited, and he could feel his body heating up. He had his earphones on as he watched the video on his phone over and over again, so much so that he did not hear the screams and cries for help coming from the corridor at all. When a call suddenly interrupted his video, Ouyang Xuan¡¯s breathing stopped for a moment. After some thought, he answered it. A soft and charming voice came from the other end of the phone, making Ouyang Xuan¡¯s mouth go dry. ¡°Teacher Ouyang, I¡¯ve brought some food for you. We¡¯re already at your door.¡± Before he could say anything, Jiang Yule hung up. Ouyang Xuan did not know whether she was playing hard to get or was really shy. He did not think too much about the reason for Jiang Yule¡¯s change in attitude. There was a lot to like about him after all. He quickly got dressed and walked out of the door. Wang Jianguo, who was in the opposite room, looked at Jiang Yule¡¯s smooth deception and shouted in her mind, ¡®You¡¯re so impressive!¡¯ Jiang Yule was staring at the screen, when she saw Ouyang Xuan, whose face was full of joy at the thought of kidnapping her, walking out to see the murderer with red eyes. She turned off the screen after that. In the next second, she heard Ouyang Xuan¡¯s terrified scream and that familiar sinister laugh. She offered a silent prayer for Ouyang Xuan in her heart. Wang Jianguo was very excited. ¡®Serves you right, you snake! Evil people should deal with each other!¡± Looking at the new message on her phone screen, Jiang Yule raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡®This is called reaping what you sow.¡¯ ¡­ Not long after, Li Xingyi arrived with his private task force. He took large strides forward and ignored the angry screams coming from behind him as the murderer was caught by his men. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard Jiang Yule¡¯s familiar voice in his mind. ¡®Good.¡¯ He did not need to go in to know that she was doing fine. Li Xingyi arrived much faster than Jiang Yule had expected. After knocking twice, he did not ask Jiang Yule to open the door, but instead spoke into the intercom, ¡°Stay inside first. I¡¯ll let you know when you can come out.¡± His broad frame blocked everything that was happening in the corridor from the camera¡¯s view. Jiang Yule knew that he was worried that Li Sui¡¯an would see something he should not. Someone suddenly shouted, ¡°Is there a doctor here? There¡¯s still one alive!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A young man was kneeling and shouting beside Ouyang Xuan, who was on the verge of death. He had been slashed four or five times by the violent murderer, and each cut was deeper than the last. But he managed to barely cling on to life. Ouyang Xuan moved his lips, and that person brought his ear to his mouth. He knew that this handsome man had something to say before he died. Ouyang Xuan gritted his teeth and tried to breathe. He used the last of his strength to grab the collar of the young man and said with a trembling voice, ¡°Jiang¡­ It¡¯s Jiang Yule! That vicious woman did this to me! She needs to pay for this! Get the police to lock her up!¡± The man was speechless. If he remembered correctly, Jiang Yule should be the name of Madam Li, the one who will inherit most of Master Li¡¯s fortune. However, she did not love money or fame. She only loved Master Li. He thought about it for a while, but when he saw that the man beside him was about to die, he decided to report what the dying man told him on his behalf, ¡°Master Li, this man seems to have something to say about Madam Li.¡± He then went on to repeat what Ouyang Xuan had told him. Li Xingyi looked at the person on the ground. He had an excellent memory and would never forget someone he had seen just once. Therefore, with only a glance, he could tell that the person lying on the ground was Ouyang Xuan. He was the tutor who wanted to seduce his wife and had taught his nephew nonsense under his nose. The dying man was waiting for Li Xingyi¡¯s approval. Ouyang Xuan believed that this was an opportunity for him to fulfill the last wish of a dying person. If Li Xingyi did so, his reputation would improve. After all, the whole world knew that he had no feelings for his wife at all. But no one expected Li Xingyi to just give a cold, indifferent look to the man on the ground without saying a word. His amber eyes were so clear and yet chilling. The young man was already scared without Li Xingyi even opening his mouth. ¡°Understood, Master Li,¡± said the young man. He looked at Ouyang Xuan, who was lying there with his chest heaving weakly, but he was still calling out for Jiang Yule¡¯s incarceration. The young man pitied him greatly. ¡°Go in peace. You¡¯ve tried your best.¡± Ouyang Xuan¡¯s body tilted to the side, and he died in anger. A soul floated out of his body and dissipated in the air, but no one could see it. The second before Jiang Yule exited the room, she pinched the flesh on her arm hard and successfully made herself cry without any eye drops. As soon as the door opened, Li Xingyi saw her trembling all over with tears in her eyes. She seemed to be quite frightened. ¡°Master Li, I was so afraid. I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime¡­¡± [I¡¯m starving. Go see your nephew already! I need to get some food!] Li Xingyi saw that although she acted as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms, she was actually maintaining some distance from him. Even her body was facing away from him. She was posturing as if he was something filthy and that she could not stand to touch him. He chided himself in his heart. ¡®Why had I not noticed such poor and flawed acting before?¡¯ He was not in the mood to tease her now. His biggest concern was Li Sui¡¯an. ¡°Yang Chen, get her something to eat.¡± With that said, he walked straight to her room without looking back. Yang Chen was puzzled. Secretary Wu was usually the one in charge of taking care of the madam. He was Master Li¡¯s bodyguard. Everyone was surprised when they heard Li Xingyi¡¯s command, including Jiang Yule and Wu Bing, but everyone quickly regained their senses. ¡°Yes Master Li. I know what the madam likes to eat.¡± he said, then he motioned Jiang Yule and Wu Bing to follow him. No one cared about his sudden change in attitude. When they got to Li Xingyi¡¯s room, Jiang Yule relaxed her legs and sat on the sofa at the side. She had been running high on adrenaline just now, but now that she had relaxed, she was instantly engulfed by fatigue and fear. Meanwhile, Li Xingyi found out from Jiang Yule¡¯s thoughts that she had hidden Li Sui¡¯an in the closet while she was waiting for him behind the door. Based on what he thought of her before, he did not expect her to keep Li Sui¡¯an safe since she was so afraid of death. The sudden footsteps made Li Sui¡¯an, who was hiding in the closet, shiver. He still had the earplugs on, and his chubby hands were covering his eyes. Remembering Jiang Yule¡¯s instructions, Li Sui¡¯an suppressed his curiosity and shrank deeper into his hiding spot. However, he heard a reassuring voice in his ear. Li Xingyi did not reach out to touch the trembling little boy. Instead, he called out softly, ¡°An-An.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Sui¡¯an burst into tears and hurriedly crawled out of the closet. He then plunged face-first into the man¡¯s arms. ¡°Uncle, I was so afraid! I thought I would never see you again¡­¡± Li Xingyi felt that what Li Sui¡¯an said sounded a little familiar. He wanted to tell him not to cry, but then he thought about the trauma this child had to endure today. Even Li Xingyi could not bring himself to heartlessly tear the sobbing little bundle from his embrace. He could only gently pat his shoulder and comfort him. It was not until he felt that Li Xingyi¡¯s shirt was wet from his tears that Li Sui¡¯an finally left his arms in embarrassment. Li Xingyi reached out to take off his earplugs, but Li Sui¡¯an stopped him. ¡°Uncle, you can¡¯t do that!¡± Li Xingyi was puzzled. ¡°Why not?¡± The little boy wiped away his tears and said in a childish voice, ¡°Jiang Yule said that I can¡¯t take these off no matter what.¡± Li Xingyi was speechless. It did not even seem like the earplugs were preventing him from hearing at all. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you listened to her. Has she asked you to do anything else?¡± Li Sui¡¯an thought about it seriously and decided that it was better not to tell his uncle about her singing idea. So, he said, ¡°Not really¡­¡± After a moment of silence, Li Xingyi suddenly asked, ¡°Do you know what she usually does at home?¡± Li Sui¡¯an heard this and suddenly remembered that terrible thing she did. He subconsciously clamped his legs and deliberately lowered his voice, ¡°Uncle Li, you shouldn¡¯t make her angry. She is a very scary woman. I saw her cut that thing off with her bare hands!¡± Li Xingyi watched as the little boy reached out to cover his crotch and suddenly understood which part he was talking about. ¡°Did you see her do that with your own eyes?¡± Li Xingyi¡¯s expression was complicated. Li Sui¡¯an nodded. Fortunately, he had run away in time, so he did not see too many details. Even Li Xingyi, who had always been at ease in the competitive business world, had a rare headache. He realized that he knew nothing about Jiang Yule except for the basic information he received of her before their marriage. ¡­ Jiang Yule, who had no idea what had happened, was devouring her meal in Li Xingyi¡¯s room. Yang Chen silently averted his gaze at her ravenous appearance that was akin to someone desperately fleeing from a disaster. Wu Bing, who was standing beside Jiang Yule, took the initiative to ask, ¡°Madam, do you need me to give you a general explanation of the situation outside?¡± Jiang Yule, who was more interested in eating, did not care. After all, Ouyang Xuan¡¯s soul had already left this world. Wang Jianguo had told her about it excitedly when it happened. Seeing Jiang Yule stuffing food into her mouth without responding, Wu Bing took it as her tacit agreement and said, ¡°The murder was very skilled. He hacked the security system of Haiyue Hotel and trapped everyone inside. After the police were notified, they immediately surrounded all the exits of the hotel. And Master Li had already rushed over before you called him.¡± Jiang Yule ate a bit slower after hearing that. No wonder Li Xingyi had arrived so soon. The rest of the story was not anything special. Li Xingyi, like a savior, led his private task force alongside the police to secure the area and successfully arrest the psychotic murderer. Hearing the notification sound from the system, Jiang Yule stopped stuffing the dumplings into her mouth and looked at the notice she received for dealing with the transmigrator. As a result, Li Xingyi, who was carrying the sleeping Li Sui¡¯an, came out and saw her staring blankly at the food on her plate with her head slightly lowered. Having witnessed how Jiang Yule transformed into a completely different person in just a few seconds, Wu Bing had a complicated expression on his face. ¡®Do you really love him that much, Jiang Yule?¡¯ Jiang Yule, who seemed to have just seen Li Xingyi walk out, stood up slowly and did not glance at the dumplings on the plate again. Her gaze was fully focused on the person in front of her. ¡®I¡¯m crying. Why is life so unfair? Why did this guy have to come here when I¡¯m busy enjoying my dumplings? I have to act like I hate food again!¡¯ Li Xingyi was speechless. Even though he knew she always had something to say about him in her mind, he was still surprised. ¡°Master Li, you¡­¡± Jiang Yule looked at him with tears in her eyes. Li Xingyi suppressed the urge to shake his head and shoved the little boy into her hands. ¡°Tell him to take off his earplugs.¡± Then, he walked past her. Holding Li Sui¡¯an, who was snoring slightly, Jiang Yule stood there in a daze. The child was terrified, but he was going to leave him as soon as he fell asleep. ¡®Is he really your nephew? Li Xingyi, you¡¯re such a cold b*stard!¡¯ Li Xingyi slowly stopped and turned to look at the slender figure who usually only wore a white dress. Today, she was wearing a sports suit, which he had never seen her in. ¡°I won¡¯t hire a tutor for Li Sui¡¯an in the future. You¡¯ll personally teach him.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Jiang Yule heard him, she turned around to look at him in shock. Her eyes seemed to be questioning his decision. Li Xingyi could not help but smile. ¡°If you don¡¯t teach him well, I¡¯ll find another wife to inherit my fortune.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned. Wu Bing was the only one who noticed the smirk on Li Xingyi¡¯s face. He had worked for Li Xingyi for around four to five years already, but this was the first time he had seen him smile. Why was he showing her, his wife whom he had no feelings for, a teasing smile like this? Wu Bing felt that he had discovered an incredible secret. After Li Xingyi left, Jiang Yule really wanted to put down the little boy in her arms and vent her frustrations by punching and kicking the air. However, a group of well-trained and well-equipped men in suits suddenly barged into the room and surrounded her. This group of men who had surrounded Jiang Yule did not say a word. Jiang Yule then glanced at the eagle emblem on one of the men¡¯s shoulders and realized that this was Li Xingyi¡¯s private task force. Li Xingyi must have sent them here to protect her and Li Sui¡¯an. After calming down, Jiang Yule carried the child and walked towards the door. She knew that Li Xing¡¯s words just now were just a threat to scare her. Many reporters and onlookers crowded the entrance of the hotel on her way out, and if it were not for the police maintaining order, the reporters would have rushed over as soon as they saw her. The task force fully surrounded her, and within this impenetrable wall of people, Jiang Yule carried Li Sui¡¯an and was safely escorted to the car. She knew that she would not have received such good treatment if it were not for the little boy in her arms. Wang Jianguo was curious about the reason Li Xingyi did not just personally bring the boy with him, but it did not ask. Since Li Xingyi was not in the car with them, Jiang Yule did not need to sit up straight. She leaned her head against the window and looked at the scenery outside in a daze. She thought about Li Xingyi. She was not even a bit flustered when Li Xingyi threatened her, and even felt a strange sense of relief. Most people would consider themselves lucky to be in her shoes and marry a top-tier billionaire they did not love. Not only that, she did not even have to change or do anything for him after they had married. And after everything, she would receive half of his entire wealth once he passed away. ¡®Who wouldn¡¯t happily accept such a nice deal?¡¯ But ever since Jiang Yule discovered that Li Xingyi¡¯s body was like an optimized machine, her dream to be a widow of a wealthy family had gradually faded away. He had never made any mistakes, and his body was getting stronger as time went on. It was not until Li Xingyi suddenly became sick that day when she remembered that she still had the inheritance to look forward to. Wang Jianguo had told her that the Jiang Yule in the original book had died before she lived to fifty from a heart disease. In other words, she would die before Li Xingyi. After realizing the fate that awaited her if she blindly followed the first system, Jiang Yule would definitely not allow herself to follow in the footsteps of the original. She would not sit still and wait for death. She had to make plans for her future life and start thinking of ways to earn money. Glancing at the driver who was concentrating on the road through the rearview mirror, Jiang Yule took out a small old phone from her pocket. She made sure to use Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s sleeping body to cover what she was doing. She learned a bit about economics from being the wife of a wealthy man. At the very least, she had grasped a lot of information about the market and the economy in the past two years. Currently, the Li Corporation¡¯s business operations spanned across various industries, with only one line that was not being paid much attention to. That line of work was exactly what Jiang Yule could easily do. ¡­ There were a total of 278 employees and customers on duty at the Haiyue Hotel that day. Among them, ninety-seven and twenty-two were hospitalized with serious injuries. This news caused a huge uproar in the country, but instead of the crazy killer, everyone was more concerned about criticizing Li Xingyi¡¯s involvement. Jiang Yule¡¯s expression did not change as she turned her phone off. Even when she was watching funny videos, there were people in the comment section who were cursing her and Li Xingyi for not saving enough people. She then threw her phone on the floor. ¡®Can I still surf the internet in peace?¡¯ Since that day, the number of bodyguards at home had increased significantly. The atmosphere was also much more tense than before. Even Aunt Wang did not dare to speak too loudly. The only ones who had not changed were Jiang Yule, who still fed Princess on time every day, and Li Xingyi, who was always busy as usual. Just as she was about to close her eyes and sleep, a familiar scream suddenly came from the room next door. Jiang Yule calmly got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and went to the next room. Aunt Wang and the other servants lived in the small building next door. Currently, the only two people who lived in this huge villa were herself and Li Sui¡¯an, who had nightmares because of that horrible incident.

Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule pushed the door open and saw Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s body wrapped tightly in his blanket. She walked over and freed him from it. ¡°Sui¡¯an, don¡¯t be afraid. Everything¡¯s okay now.¡± The child, who was sobbing in fear, was then held in Jiang Yule¡¯s arms. She gently patted his head and comforted him. Jiang Yule¡¯s tone was kind as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s all over now.¡± Li Sui¡¯an had already received treatment from a psychiatrist after that incident, but his trauma still persisted. He would still have nightmares about that horrible situation. After a while, the little boy finally stopped crying in Jiang Yule¡¯s warm embrace. Seeing that his condition had improved, she placed him back on the bed and covered him with his blanket. She then turned around to leave, however, a chubby little hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve. She could easily break out of his weak grasp, but Jiang Yule still let him stop her. She took off her slippers and lay down beside the child. Jiang Yule held the stunned Li Sui¡¯an in her arms and patted his back gently. ¡°Let me tell you a fairy tale. What do you want to hear?¡± The little boy¡¯s brows furrowed, and he looked very disgusted at the idea. ¡°I¡¯m too old for those childish stories.¡± Though he said that, he still reached out and hugged his Ultraman toy. He even obediently returned to Jiang Yule¡¯s arms after getting it. He blinked his big black pearl-like eyes a few times as he waited for Jiang Yule to tell him a story. ¡®He¡¯s so young, but he¡¯s already acting this way. How is he going to be like once he grows up?¡¯ Jiang Yule could not help but laugh. She recalled for a moment and started softly, ¡°A long time ago, there was a poor little girl. She was an orphan with no parents. She lived in the village with her grandmother, whom she depended on for survival. After her grandmother passed away, she could only rely on selling bombs to make a living every day.¡± The little boy was puzzled. ¡°Wait, something in the story doesn¡¯t seem right¡­¡± ¡°Let me finish first. One day, she didn¡¯t manage to sell a single bomb, and when night came, she was cold and hungry. While all alone in the cold and dark, she thought of her grandmother and how much she missed her. In the bone-chilling winter, the little girl curled up in the corner alone with no way to warm herself up.¡± Li Sui¡¯an could not imagine how the little girl could survive all by herself in the cold. ¡°How did she deal with the cold in the end?¡± ¡°She had no choice but to light a bomb for warmth. Later, she met her grandmother as she wished. Actually, everyone in the village also met her grandmother that night¡­¡± Li Sui¡¯an was speechless. He was almost scared to death by this fairy tale. Just as Li Sui¡¯an was about to voice his dissatisfaction with the story, Jiang Yule had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep after finishing her story. Li Sui¡¯an let out a long sigh as helplessly held Ultraman in his arms and closed his eyes as well. ¡®Jiang Yule is pure evil!¡¯ At this moment, he still did not know what the villain Jiang Yule had planned for him tomorrow. ¡­ Li Sui¡¯an stared blankly at the huge colorful building in front of him and as a childish nursery rhyme was playing loudly from a speaker inside. He was at a loss. He looked up at Jiang Yule and questioned her in a childish voice, ¡°You told me that you would take me to a wonderful place. Did you actually mean this kindergarten?!¡± Jiang Yule stroked his hair affectionately. ¡°How is it? Are you surprised?¡± At seven o¡¯clock in the morning, she carried the sleeping child down from the bed and coaxed him to follow her. Although Li Sui¡¯an was mature and well-spoken, he was still only five years old. Jiang Yule believed that kindergarten was the most suitable place for such a young child. Although he could gain a lot of knowledge from private tutoring, his ability to socialize and communicate with people his own age was also very important. Initially, Jiang Yule felt that she should not interfere with Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s growth. However, since Li Xingyi had handed the responsibility of him over to her, she would definitely send him to kindergarten. ¡°You¡­ How could you do this to me?!¡± Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s fragile heart was completely broken. He absolutely could not tolerate the group of drooling little preschoolers in front of him. ¡°Teacher, other than having a strange personality, my child is good in every other aspect. He¡¯s also smart and sensible. I¡¯ll be troubling you to take care of him in the future.¡± Jiang Yule ignored him as she spoke to the lady in charge who looked to be in her forties or fifties. Although Li Xingyi had left the child in her care, she still asked for his opinion on the significant matter of choosing a kindergarten. After the message was sent, Li Xingyi did not respond for a long time. Just as she thought that he was using silence to express his disapproval, he suddenly agreed.

Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Xingyi chose a kindergarten that was not too expensive and did not have the best teachers. It was a kindergarten which only had a large area and a good environment. Jiang Yule was puzzled by his choice since he recently paid top dollar to hire Ouyang Xuan, who was one of the smartest tutors in the country. It was not until much later that she found out that this kindergarten was actually owned by Li Xingyi. Li Sui¡¯an stared at Jiang Yule, who was about to leave, and his eyes slowly teared up The lady in charge, who was holding his hand, slowly squatted down and patted his shoulder to comfort him, ¡°It seems that your mother was correct when she said you were a smart and sensible child. And I also think that you¡¯re very brave.¡± Li Sui¡¯an immediately held back the tears that were about to fall and pouted arrogantly. ¡°She¡¯s not my mother.¡± After declaring that, he obediently carried his Ultraman themed bag that Jiang Yule had specially bought for him on the way there. The lady looked at the stubborn little child¡¯s back and smiled. ¡­ When Jiang Yule had finally solved the issue of Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s education, she felt like a weight on her shoulders was finally lifted. Wang Jianguo, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous. ¡®Host, if we leave the male protagonist in a crowded and unguarded place like this, won¡¯t the transmigrators see this as an opportunity to approach him?¡¯ This was very risky, however, he had to admit that this was also the best way to lure out potential threats. At least, this was what Wang Jianguo believed. Jiang Yule was not nervous at all. ¡®That¡¯s why I let Li Xingyi choose the kindergarten in the first place. There¡¯s no way that he would choose a place that is dangerous for his nephew.¡¯ Then, she started to lecture Wang Jianguo, ¡®Children at Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s age need a place to see new things and make new friends. They need to learn how to communicate from a young age. Where do you think these arrogant and pompous b*stards came from? That¡¯s how they become when they¡¯re prevented from socializing, isn¡¯t it?¡¯ Jiang Yule did not wait for Wang Jianguo¡¯s reply. ¡®Anyway, I don¡¯t have anything important to do other than feeding the pigs. All I really have to do now is drive him to and from school every day. This way, besides building a good relationship between us, I¡¯ll be able to discover any strange people who appear around him as soon as possible. I¡¯m killing two birds with one stone.¡¯ She then got into the car and said to the Li Family¡¯s chauffeur, ¡°Uncle Zhang, take me to the Li Corporation.¡± Uncle Zhang was about to start the car when he suddenly remembered her situation. He hesitated for a moment before he asked, ¡°Madam, what If the master doesn¡¯t allow you to see him? Would you still want to go if that¡¯s the case?¡± Jiang Yule nodded slightly. ¡°Of course. I¡¯m not even going there to see him.¡± Uncle Zhang wanted to persuade her, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. To his ears, Jiang Yule¡¯s reason was just a poor excuse for her to see him. ¡®Sigh, the madam is deeply in love with him, but the master doesn¡¯t appreciate her at all. Even an outsider like me is tired of seeing their relationship.¡¯ ¡­. The lobby, which was orderly and quiet, fell into a strange silence the moment Jiang Yule stepped into the building. The senior receptionist, who could maintain her elegance in any situation, stiffened up when she saw her. She let out an irritated sigh before resigning herself to greeting her at the door. ¡°Good morning, Madam Li. What a surprise to see you today. Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Jiang Yule nodded. The receptionist forced a polite smile. ¡°Madam, is there a message you would like me to pass to President Li? I¡¯m really sorry, but CEO Li specifically instructed me to not let you into his office. My hands are tied here.¡± The receptionist seemed very embarrassed and apologetic, but if one looked carefully, they would see that her eyes held no respect for Jiang Yule. Jiang Yule knew that her image as an annoyance was deeply rooted in the minds of the people here, so she did not try to find fault with her attitude. Instead, she sat on the sofa nearby and said to the receptionist, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Just ask for Yang Chen or Wu Bing. I have something to tell them.¡± The receptionist sneered in her heart, but she did not let it show on her face and agreed to her request. There were quite a few people sitting in the lounge area. Most of them were businessmen hoping to collaborate with the Li Corporation. When they heard the receptionist refer to Jiang Yule as Madam Li, most of them subconsciously turned to look at her. However, Jiang Yule¡¯s bad reputation had preceded her. To them, she was a desperate wife clinging on to a hopeless marriage. She was given no special treatment, and if she wanted to see CEO Li¡¯s secretary, she would have to wait outside like the rest of them. With that in mind, they looked at Jiang Yule with disdain. Five minutes after she sat down, Jiang Yule began to understand why no one wanted to be around her. As she smelled an unpleasant yet familiar smell, she subconsciously looked toward the source. The smell came from the man sitting opposite her who had his head lowered. He was obviously young, but his face was downcast like he had lost everything. The man felt Jiang Yule blatantly scrutinizing him. He slowly raised his head and smiled apologetically at her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss, is my body odor unbearable? I¡¯ll sit further away.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yule had always had a good impression of kind and straightforward people. She immediately returned the smile. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Please remain seated.¡± Hearing her say this, the man still felt a little embarrassed. However, other than where he was, the seats everywhere else were filled with people, and those people sat away from him to avoid him in the first place. There was nowhere else he could go. ¡°Sir, what are you doing here?¡± Jiang Yule took the initiative to ask him with a friendly attitude. Seeing that she had spoken to him first, the man slowly sighed in relief. He had been worried about what she thought of him. Unlike the others, he did not know who Jiang Yule was. He had only thought of her as a kind and beautiful woman. ¡°I¡¯m here to look for the manager of the Li Corporation¡¯s animal husbandry department. I have a problem that I need help with.¡± The Li Corporation had set up businesses all over the world, and they were involved in every industry one could name. The corporation, which was one of the pillars of the global economy, was not to be taken lightly. Jiang Yule was not surprised to hear that his business had to do with animals. She had deduced at first glance that this man must have been a pig farmer. ¡°Does the Li Corporation also have a animal husbandry department? Why do you need to their help?¡± Jiang Yule pretended not to know. The man grabbed his hair, and his tired face looked a little frustrated. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m not going to hide it from you. I have dozens of pigs at home that I raise to make a living from. But something went wrong recently. More than ten pigs suddenly died within a week, and I have no idea what happened. If things continue this way, I won¡¯t be able to support my family.¡± Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. ¡°My son had just started kindergarten, and my wife¡¯s constitution is not good, to the point where she has to take medication often. My parents even had to use their life savings to move to the capital with me to help me so that we don¡¯t go into debt.¡± It was not easy to find someone who was willing to listen to him. The man said everything on his mind, and after he was finished, he felt that he had overstepped his boundaries and wiped the tears from his face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have told you so much.¡± Jiang Yule dismissed his concerns. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡®So, more than a dozen pigs died in a week¡­¡¯ Previously, when she was researching the livestock industry in this world, she had discovered a strange issue. There was no such thing as swine fever here. It was not until just then that she realized that the virus simply had not been discovered yet. Just as she was deep in thought, a man in a suit and sunglasses walked over. ¡°Madam Li, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Wu Bing, who was afraid of offending Master Li, had sent Yang Chen down in his place. ¡®I am a bodyguard, so why should I be doing Wu Bing¡¯s job?¡¯ Seeing Yang Chen come for her, the man lowered his head again. Jiang Yule stood up and walked over. Yang Chen frowned under his sunglasses. ¡°In case you have forgotten, Master Li had specifically told you to¡ª¡± ¡°I¡¯m not looking for him. I¡¯m looking for you.¡± Jiang Yule raised her hand and interrupted him. Yang Chen frowned under his sunglasses. ¡°Madam Li, my wife and I are getting married this year.¡± Jiang Yule nodded nonchalantly. ¡°Congratulations, but I¡¯m broke. You can get your wedding gift from Master Li.¡± Yang Chen had known that she was a two-faced woman who acted nicely in front of her husband compared to others, but it seemed that the contrast has become more obvious recently. Jiang Yule did not feel like making things difficult for him and went straight to the point, ¡°Give me back my car keys.¡± If she did not ask, she was sure Yang Chen would never give her dark knight back. Without it, she had to ask Uncle Zhang to take her wherever she needed to go, which was too troublesome. Yang Chen quickly took out the keys from his pocket and handed them to her. ¡°Your car has been parked in the underground garage.¡± Jiang Yule nodded indifferently. Before she left, she pointed at the man who had just chatted with her and said, ¡°Give this man a glass of water. Then, get the manager of the animal husbandry department to meet him.¡± Yang Chen did not plan to listen to her when it came to the corporation¡¯s businesses. Jiang Yule smiled and threatened, ¡°If you won¡¯t do it, I¡¯ll go bother Li Xingyi about it instead.¡± Yang Chen immediately changed his mind and went to get the man a drink as Jiang Yule and the man told each other their names. By the time he returned, Jiang Yule had already left. However, Yang Chen still followed what she told him to do. Yang Chen took a deep breath as he walked into the elevator with the incredulous and pleasantly surprised man. ¡®My goodness, I¡¯m just an ordinary bodyguard! Why does this always happen to me?!¡¯ Some people realized that the silent man in the suit was Li Xingyi¡¯s bodyguard and immediately regretted not treating Jiang Yule better. After all, the man who had voiced his troubles to Jiang Yule earlier was immediately getting the meeting that he wanted. Even the receptionist, who had witnessed the entire process, felt a little scared that she had angered the wrong person and was glad that she had actually gone to pass on Jiang Yule¡¯s message. ¡®Why do CEO Li¡¯s men suddenly listen to Jiang Yule?¡¯ After Yang Chen brought the man to the animal husbandry department, he returned to Li Xingyi¡¯s side at the top floor. Seeing him return, Li Xingyi looked up and asked, ¡°Where did you go?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Xingyi¡¯s cold gaze made Yang Chen¡¯s heart skip a beat. He looked at him as if he had gone to see a traitor behind his back. ¡°Master Li¡­ I went to see the madam just now.¡± Li Xingyi froze, and his first reaction afterward was to frown. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that she¡¯s not allowed to see me here?¡± Yang Chen nodded seriously. ¡°Yes, but the madam was here for me, not you.¡± Li Xingyi¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that you have a girlfriend.¡± Yang Chen was speechless. ¡°The madam only wanted to get her car keys back. She also mentioned that she was broke and that I should get my wedding gift from you, Master Li,¡± ¡°She¡¯s broke?¡± Li Xingyi sneered. ¡°How can she be broke when she¡¯s married to me? She even has half of my fortune waiting for her when I die.¡± Yang Chen quickly reached out to touch the green plant next to him. ¡°Master Li, you shouldn¡¯t say such things. It might bring bad luck! Not to mention, everyone knows how much Madam Li loves you despite her often disturbing your work. How could slander her pure feelings for you by insinuating that she only wants you for your inheritance?¡± Looking at Yang Chen¡¯s serious expression, Li Xingyi¡¯s gaze darkened. He was wrong. Not long ago, he thought similarly to him. But that thinking changed after he had heard that familiar and strange voice in his head. ¡°Tell Wu Bing to postpone tonight¡¯s social gathering.¡± Yang Chen nodded and let him change the subject. ¡°Alright, would you like me to make any other arrangements?¡± ¡°Take me back to the main residence.¡± ¡­ ¡®Host, you said that you wanted to earn money. What are your plans?¡¯ Wang Jianguo¡¯s imagination of Jiang Yule raking in money as a famous actress or a superstar filled its head. Jiang Yule was driving when it asked her that. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and a hint of craftiness appeared in her eyes. ¡®I¡¯ll be raising pigs!¡¯ ¡®Oh, that sounds like an¡­ interesting idea.¡¯ Wang Jianguo replied with immense disappointment. Jiang Yule scolded it, ¡®Don¡¯t you know how much a kilogram of pork costs?!¡¯ ¡®I know how much they sell for, however, there are many other ways of earning money that are a lot more profitable than selling pork!¡¯ Jiang Yule sighed and pitied its ignorance. ¡®In the world I was originally in, there was a sudden outbreak of swine fever one year. A lot of pigs died, so pork was in short supply. After that, the price of pork naturally rose. Nobody knew how to deal with the virus until later, and many pig farming businesses had gone bankrupt. Their years of hard work had been in vain.¡¯ Jiang Yule smirked. ¡°Pig farming is what I¡¯m good at, so I know how to prevent swine fever. Think about it. Once the price of pork on the market has increased, I will sell mine at a lower price since swine fever won¡¯t be a problem for me. Everybody will be rushing to buy my pork.¡± Wang Jianguo saw her point. ¡®Then, you¡¯ll become a millionaire and live a happy life!¡¯ It finally understood why the host was driving to such a desolate place. ¡®You must be here to look for a location to build your pig farm.¡¯ Jiang Yule praised it for being smart, then turned around and drove the car back. She explained patiently, ¡®Running a pig farm is not as simple as you think. There are many things that need to be done, like handling livestock farming permits. Before obtaining the facility, we also need to check the state of the land. I don¡¯t have that much time.¡¯ ¡®Doesn¡¯t that sound like more trouble than it¡¯s worth?¡¯ Jiang Yule shook her head. Although it was hard to start her own, she had the option of spending money to buy an existing one. She suddenly regretted not exchanging contact details with that pig farmer just now. She glanced at the time on her phone and muttered in her heart that she had no time to dwell on it. She had to hurry and pick up Li Sui¡¯an from school. ¡­ In Joyful Kindergarten, a group of children dressed in bright yellow uniforms were playing around the teacher like a group of happy ducklings. However, Li Sui¡¯an was sitting alone in a corner. The little boy was quiet and seemed a little out of place. Even though he was a cute little dumpling of a boy, he was too mature to socialize with the surrounding children. Just as Li Sui¡¯an was thinking about how he would complain to his uncle about his evil wife when he got home, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him. ¡°Wow! Is that an Ultraman Tiga bag?! That¡¯s awesome!¡± The self-proclaimed genius Li Sui¡¯an calmly turned his head and saw a child standing beside him. The child¡¯s clothes were neater and cleaner than those of the other students. He had cute freckles on his fair face, and was staring intently at his bag with a pair of big black eyes.

Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You¡¯re right, it¡¯s Ultraman Tiga. You have good taste, so you can be my little brother from now onward.¡± Li Sui¡¯an raised his chin arrogantly. The child was stunned at first, then he grinned. ¡°Does that mean you want to be best friends? I would like that!¡± Li Sui¡¯an was speechless. He did not even mention the word ¡°friend.¡± ¡­ When Jiang Yule arrived at the kindergarten, she saw a cute child, who was smiling sweetly at her, beside Li Sui¡¯an. She was pleasantly surprised. ¡°May you have a lifetime of peace and blessings. Thank you for being willing to be friends with Li Sui¡¯an!¡± ¡°He¡¯s not my friend. He¡¯s my little brother!¡± Li Sui¡¯an retorted with a frown. The fair child standing beside him smiled at Jiang Yule and asked, ¡°My name is Zuo Qingran. Are you Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s sister? You¡¯re as good-looking as him.¡± Jiang Yule smiled and patted his head. ¡°Ranran!¡± A pale-faced woman, who appeared to be his mother, came over and hugged Zuo Qingran, and Li Sui¡¯an also took two steps closer to Jiang Yule. The woman came in a hurry. Her coat was wrinkled, and there were a few strands of white hair visible in her coarse hair. She looked tired, but Zuo Qingran appeared well-groomed, indicating that she took good care of him. The woman was in a hurry to leave. She smiled politely at Jiang Yule and left with Zuo Qingran in her arms. The child reluctantly said goodbye to Li Sui¡¯an. He even turned back to look at him as he was leaving on his mother¡¯s electric bike. Li Sui¡¯an watched him leave. After that, he ignored Jiang Yule and walked out by himself. He stood at the entrance of the kindergarten and looked around. ¡°Where¡¯s the car?¡± Jiang Yule thought that it was necessary to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist for him this weekend. ¡°Can¡¯t you see my car parked over there?¡± She pointed at her beloved dark knight on her right. Li Sui¡¯an walked around the car and asked her, ¡°Is this a new BMW model?¡± ¡°Is that the only brand you know?¡± ¡°No, I also know about Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini.¡± Li Sui¡¯an shook his head and retorted. Jiang Yule reached out to pull the car door open. ¡°So, are you getting in or not?¡± After careful consideration, Li Sui¡¯an decided to take a seat. ¡°If I ride in this thing, will it affect me when I drive my Lamborghini in the future?¡± he asked. Jiang Yule opened the door and pressed the little boy into the back seat. ¡°Riding in this car won¡¯t affect your ability to drive, but it¡¯s definitely not something you can brag to women about,¡± she replied with a smirk. On the way home, Li Sui¡¯an started to get bored, so Jiang Yule let him watch cartoons on her phone. During this time, her phone received a text message. The little boy leaned out from the back seat and handed the phone over. ¡°Wow, I can¡¯t believe people actually message you.¡± Curious, Jiang Yule took the phone and saw who sent her the message. ¡®¡­ It¡¯s just the delivery service.¡¯ It was the notification stating that her item had been delivered. After previously purchasing the book ¡°How to Interact with Stuck-up Children¡± online, she immediately ordered another book titled ¡°How to Make and Keep Friends¡±, which she intended to give to Li Sui¡¯an. She was sure that a brat like him desperately needed the help. After half-listening to him talk about his new friend in kindergarten and confirming that the people around him were not suspicious, Jiang Yule drove through the main gate of the Li Family¡¯s main residence and entered the underground garage. While parking her car, Jiang Yule noticed a particular vehicle and suddenly froze. ¡®Why is Li Xingyi¡¯s favorite car, which he often uses, parked down here?¡¯ Li Sui¡¯an also saw the car, and his eyes lit up. ¡°Uncle Li is back!¡± After shouting that, he pushed open the car door and ran out. His body, which was carrying his Ultraman bag, looked funny from behind. When Jiang Yule walked in after Li Sui¡¯an while wearing her usual perfect smile, she saw a woman with her hair tied into a bun running over. She hugged her as she said, ¡°Sister, you¡¯re a woman. Isn¡¯t it too inappropriate for you to come home so late? Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯re making your family worried?¡± Jiang Yule looked at the antique clock on the wall. It was only 4:30 p.m. The woman was Jiang Yuxin, the biological sister of Jiang Yule. She was smarter than the original Jiang Yule and better than her at both studying and socializing. Because of that, their family favored her more than Jiang Yule. ¡°Did you use Mr. Li¡¯s credit card to buy whatever you want again? Didn¡¯t I tell you before that women should stay home to take care of their husbands and raise their children? How can you have the heart to squander Mr. Li¡¯s hard-earned money as you please?¡± She deliberately raised her voice as if she wanted everyone to hear her. Jiang Yule walked past her and went inside. ¡®What a noisy b*tch. It might be hard for him to earn money, but it¡¯s hard for me to act in front of him all the time.¡¯ Li Xingyi, who heard Jiang Yule¡¯s thoughts when she came in, froze while he was about to pour himself a cup of coffee, and he ended up pouring coffee all over the table. ¡°Did you do that because the coffee was bad?¡± Aunt Wang asked uneasily. She thought that he might have been outraged with it. Li Xingyi quickly made an excuse. ¡°No, I suddenly remembered that drinking it would have affected my sleep.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Aunt Wang nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. A young and talented man like you who is worth tens of billions should start taking care of his body early.¡± Glancing at Jiang Yule, who was slowly walking over, Li Xingyi waved at Li Sui¡¯an, and the child ran over. After briefly asking him about his first day of school, Li Xingyi frowned slightly and looked at Wu Bing. ¡°Why doesn¡¯t the kindergarten teach linear equations in two variables?¡± Jiang Yule stopped in her tracks when she heard that. She took out her phone and quickly ordered the book ¡°Communication and Interaction with Neurological Patients¡± online before she called out to him. ¡°Master Li.¡± Jiang Yuxin also walked over from the door. A smile, which was completely unlike her sister¡¯s, appeared on her charming face. ¡°Mr. Li, that is only taught in high school.¡± Li Xingyi looked up at her with his charming amber eyes, which released the tension in Jiang Yuxin¡¯s body and deepened the smile on her face. Then, the man opened his mouth to ask, ¡°Who are you?¡± Jiang Yuxin quickly put on a smile again after a short moment of embarrassment. ¡°O-Oh, me? I¡¯m Jiang Yule¡¯s relative.¡± Li Xingyi stood up and said with a hint of distance, ¡°You must be my Mother-in-law.¡± Jiang Yuxin was speechless. ¡®Huh? Are you blind?¡¯ Jiang Yule wanted to laugh so hard that she almost got stitches. However, she still had to pretend to be considerate and help. ¡°Master Li, this is my sister, Jiang Yuxin.¡± The smile on Jiang Yuxin¡¯s face froze. Jiang Yule was a complete idiot and always did things that made Li Xingyi unhappy. He was so annoyed by her that he did not come back to the main residence for a long time. Because of that, Jiang Yuxin did not even have the opportunity to get close to him. It was not easy for her to find out that Li Xingyi would be here tonight. She put in so much effort to see him, but she never expected him to not recognize her! She even skipped work to come here. Jiang Yuxin was indeed the original Jiang Yule¡¯s sister. Seeing Li Xingyi not recognize her and treat her with a cold attitude, her eyes immediately started to tear up. Jiang Yule, who had obediently approached Li Xing by this time, could not help but lower her head and let a hint of a smirk appear on her lips. ¡®Don¡¯t you know that he hates it when women cry incessantly? You¡¯ve gone overboard with your acting, dumb*ss.¡¯ Li Xingyi was amused by Jiang Yule and smiled, but Jiang Yuxin, who happened to see this, thought he was smiling at her and instantly retracted her tears. The frustration she was feeling was instantly replaced by excitement. Jiang Yule saw him smile as well and began to immerse herself in role-playing. This time, she was playing the role of a butler. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I saw the young master smile.¡± Li Xingyi immediately knew where that quote came from. It was from a show called ¡°The Young Master and I.¡± Standing at the side, Aunt Wang scowled at Jiang Yuxin. She had seen many people over the course of her life, and from the moment this woman entered the door, she could tell that she had ulterior motives. She did not intend to show her any courtesy. ¡°I did not prepare much food today, so I can¡¯t have you stay for dinner.¡± Jiang Yule almost gave Aunt Wang a thumbs up, but she had to suppress her urge, or she would be electrocuted by the system. Jiang Yuxin smiled and nodded. Then, she turned to Wu Bing and said politely, ¡°Allow us to see you out.¡± Wu Bing looked perplexed and wondered why he was suddenly being escorted out of the house. Aunt Wang was also confused. ¡®Who said anything about Wu Bing leaving?¡¯ With that display, Jiang Yule finally understood that shameless people could be capable of anything. Li Xingyi, who was standing beside her, could not help but sneer. He thought, ¡®Only the wicked can truly understand each other¡¯. Sensing his gaze, Jiang Yule immediately raised her head and looked at him. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet smile. ¡°Is anything the matter, Master Li?¡± ¡®Stop wasting time. I¡¯m hungry.¡¯ Li Xingyi had to praise her acting skills. If Jiang Yule acted, she would probably win the Best Actress award this year. Li Xingyi did not say anything about Jiang Yuxin in the end, and although Aunt Wang was unwilling to have her over, she did not protest. She suppressed the disgust she felt for her and let the shameless Jiang Yuxin follow them to the dining room. In truth, Li Xingyi, who was so immersed by Jiang Yule¡¯s performance, had forgotten to chase her sister away. Jiang Yule looked at Jiang Yuxin, who sat down opposite her. She thought that the grass on the grave of the last person to act so shamelessly must have been at least three feet tall. Jiang Yule sighed emotionally when she suddenly thought about Ouyang Xuan. Originally, her plan was to offer some form of compensation to the original after he had miraculously survived four to five stab wounds and the transmigrator¡¯s soul leaving his body. After all, having their entire reputation and career ruined by someone else possessing their body would likely make anyone depressed. However, the system seemed to have already given him some benefits. The last time Jiang Yule went to the hospital to visit him, she saw Ouyang Xuan standing in the garden with a silly smile on his face.

Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation While everyone was eating in silence, Jiang Yuxin suddenly expressed concern for Li Xingyi, ¡°Chaoshan-style preserved vegetables are considered raw and cold foods. Mr. Li, it¡¯s better not to eat this. A stomachache won¡¯t do you any good.¡± Jiang Yule and Li Xingyi paused their movements at the same time. Then, Li Sui¡¯an suddenly raised his little hand high. Li Xingyi noticed his action and nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak. Li Sui¡¯an raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°I know this law. Jiang Yule said that 90% of the world¡¯s tyrants have stomach problems.¡± ¡°Is that so? I¡¯m one of the ten percent who doesn¡¯t have stomach problems, then.¡± The man held his chopsticks with his slender fingers and ate elegantly. Jiang Yuxin stared intensely at Li Sui¡¯an. The realization that this brat was Li Xingyi¡¯s relative left her with nowhere to vent her frustration and awkwardness. She could only shoot a fierce glare at Jiang Yule. Jiang Yule had an innocent look on her face, as if she was unaware of it. ¡®Yuxin, do you think it¡¯s that easy to be a wealthy man¡¯s wife? You don¡¯t even know that Li Xingyi has a strong stomach, and yet you¡¯re trying to seduce him like this?¡¯ The ¡°iron stomach¡± Li Xingyi showed a satisfied expression. Even though Jiang Yule was pretending to be different in front of others because of her inheritance, as a wealthy man¡¯s wife, she still possessed the basic professional demeanor. To achieve victory in every battle, one must have a thorough understanding of the enemy. With a cold glance at the woman across from him, who lacked professional etiquette, Li Xingyi once again halted his actions. His magnetic voice, tinged with a deep tone, resonated next to Jiang Yuxin¡¯s ear. ¡°The rule at my family¡¯s dining table is to eat in silence. You¡¯re being too noisy.¡± As soon as Li Xingyi finished speaking, Aunt Wang, who had been eagerly waiting at the side to chase this ¡°outsider¡± away at any time, walked over quickly. ¡°Kindly leave, Ms. Jiang.¡± Jiang Yuxin¡¯s face turned pale, and in her panic, she cast a pleading gaze at Jiang Yule, as if silently asking for her help. Jiang Yule had never been so grateful for her ¡°fragile flower¡± persona. As a qualified bootlicker, she could confidently say, ¡°I obey everything Master Li says and would never dare to defy him.¡± Then, Aunt Wang grabbed Jiang Yuxin¡¯s arm and dragged her out. After the meal, Li Xingyi had no intention of retreating upstairs, so Jiang Yule had no choice but to accompany him. Li Xingyi, with Li Sui¡¯an, watched the evening news in the living room. Even if she was not interested, Jiang Yule had to feign interest¡­ Until her phone suddenly rang midway. It was a call from Jiang Yuxin. It seemed that she still did not wish to give up this rare opportunity to meet Li Xingyi. She walked to Li Xingyi¡¯s side and said in a submissive tone, ¡°Master Li, may I excuse myself for a while? My sister seems to have something important to tell me.¡± ¡®Hurry up and say that you won¡¯t let me leave. Say it!¡¯ Li Xingyi nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Yule thought, ¡®Am I imagining things? Why does Li Xingyi always seem to be at odds with me lately?¡¯ Reluctantly, Jiang Yule sat in the car and was driven to the entrance of the Li Family¡¯s main residence. The evening breeze carried a dreadful chill, and as expected, she spotted a slender figure huddled by the roadside, looking delicate and charming. Since Li Xingyi was not present, Jiang Yule did not need to pretend anymore. ¡°If you have something to say, say it.¡± Jiang Yuxin¡¯s eyes welled up with tears. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the wife that my brother-in-law married? His housekeeper chased me out and you didn¡¯t even bother to intervene?!¡± Jiang Yule scoffed. ¡°Now you¡¯re acknowledging that I¡¯m his official wife?¡± Seeing that she showed no intention of helping, Jiang Yuxin grew impatient. ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself, Jiang Yule. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that a good-for-nothing like you had failed to bring our family any benefits after marrying into the Li Family for two years, would our mother have sent me here? Do you think I wanted this?¡± Li Xingyi¡¯s brother¡¯s only wish before he passed away was to see him start a family. Out of the overwhelming number of bachelorettes from prestigious families in the capital, it was the ordinary Jiang Yule who got chosen. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Yule and Jiang Yuxin had so little in common, Mrs. Jiang would have tried to push for Jiang Yuxin to marry into the Li Family instead. Jiang Yule frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t try to bring up mom to scare me. I¡¯ve been injected with a rabies vaccine. Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you?¡± Jiang Yuxin was stunned when she heard that. It took her a while to realize that Jiang Yule was calling her a dog. She was so angry that her lips trembled. ¡°Jiang Yule¡­ You¡¯re ruthless¡­ You will regret this!¡± With that, she turned around and left in a huff. Jiang Yule rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuxin¡¯s retreating figure before she turned around and walked toward the courtyard. ¡®Does she really think that she can scare me? Whether this marriage can continue or not depends solely on Li Xingyi¡¯s decision. She¡¯s barking up the wrong tree.¡¯ Naturally, she did not notice the malicious gleam in Jiang Yuxin¡¯s eyes when she turned to give the Li Family¡¯s main residence one last look.

Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®Jianguo, something feels off with Jiang Yuxin. Could she be a transmigrator?¡¯ After finally getting Li Xingyi to leave, Jiang Yule managed to put Li Sui¡¯an to sleep before returning to her own room. There was no response from the system for a long time, so Jiang Yule probed again, ¡°Wang Jianguo, are you still there?¡± Suddenly, a beam of bright light shone in from the window, startling Jiang Yule so much that she sat up straight from the bed. As the light subsided, a palm-sized turtle appeared out of thin air on her bedside table. It stared at Jiang Yule with its bean-sized eyes and wagged its tail very quickly. ¡®I¡¯m here!¡¯ To be honest, this was the first time Jiang Yule saw a turtle wag its tail. She did not even know that turtles could do that. Nevertheless, she was shocked. ¡°Jianguo, is that you?¡± The turtle nodded again. Jiang Yule finally recalled that Wang Jianguo had once mentioned that it had a surprise in store for her. After the initial novelty of seeing Wang Jianguo¡¯s new form, Jiang repeated the question she had asked earlier. Wang Jianguo replied, ¡®I don¡¯t think so. A transmigrator would target the male lead, but Jiang Yuxin didn¡¯t say a word to Li Sui¡¯an today.¡¯ Jiang Yule nodded thoughtfully. She thought what Wang Jianguo said made sense. ¡°Well, let¡¯s not worry about her for now. If she is indeed a transmigrator, she¡¯ll show her true colors sooner or later. Let¡¯s take it one problem at a time.¡± Li Xingyi had already given the Jiang Family a huge sum of money as a bride price. The amount was enough to even start a company. However, some people would never understand the meaning of satisfaction. Jiang Yule did not care about the Jiang Family¡¯s affairs. Jiang Yuxin¡¯s arrival had also made her more determined to earn money on her own. ¡­ The next day, Jiang Yule got out of bed before her alarm rang. She planned to send Li Sui¡¯an to kindergarten first. She knocked on his door for a good two minutes but received no response. Jiang Yule gently pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the little boy lying on the bed, propping up his head with his hand in various poses as he styled his hair. ¡°The temperature outside is minus three degrees Celsius today, but the temperature in my blanket is thirty-seven degrees above zero. If you had come five minutes later, the bed I just peed on would have turned cold.¡± The little one deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be cold. Jiang Yule silently went up to him to give him a good spanking. Aunt Wang and the other housekeepers were preparing breakfast in the kitchen. When they heard the child¡¯s indignant cries from upstairs, they all smiled and shook their heads. ¡°Ever since Young Master Li came to live here, the house has finally become lively. Even the madam, who used to stay in bed until the sun went down, is now waking up early and going to bed early.¡± Because of his bedwetting, Li Sui¡¯an was late for his second day of kindergarten. The little boy was so angry that he wiped his tears with the turtle that Jiang Yule had given him. Wang Jianguo was speechless. ¡­ Jiang Yule thought that they would be the last to arrive at the kindergarten, but when she and Li Sui¡¯an reached the entrance, she saw the little boy who had just become Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s ¡°little brother¡± yesterday, along with his mother at the entrance. Zuo Qingran was very excited to see Li Sui¡¯an. He jumped up and waved at him. Jiang Yule was about to walk over to greet the other boy¡¯s mother, but before she could take a step, the frail and pale Mrs. Zuo suddenly staggered and fainted. Jiang Yule immediately picked up Li Sui¡¯an and rushed over. Zuo Qingran looked at his mother, who had fallen to the ground, and he cried out, ¡°Wake up, Mommy! The kindergarten teacher rushed over when she heard the noise. When she saw the woman lying on the ground, she was shocked. ¡°What happened? Mrs. Zuo? Mrs. Zuo?!¡± Jiang Yule had already made an emergency call to the nearest hospital. After that, she nodded at Li Sui¡¯an. Li Sui¡¯an understood and immediately went forward to hold Zuo Qingran, who was breaking down and crying. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. The doctor will be here soon. Your mother is just tired and needs to sleep for a while.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zuo Qingran asked in a trembling voice. Ever since Li Xingyi entrusted Li Sui¡¯an to her, Jiang Yule¡¯s phone had also been upgraded. The emergency numbers she called were all directed to the private hospitals under the Li Corporation. The corporation¡¯s private hospitals never relied on public resources; they established their own channels for things like funding and supplies. Due to Li Xingyi¡¯s unique business model, the private hospitals under the Li Corporation were better than the many public hospitals in the capital. Less than five minutes after the call was made, an ambulance with an eagle logo drove into the kindergarten compound. Fortunately, this kindergarten was not in the city center, and the principal was Li Xingyi¡¯s subordinate. Otherwise, with such a commotion, Jiang Yule would have ended up in the headlines tomorrow.

Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After settling the two children with the teacher, Jiang Yule followed Mrs. Zuo, who was fitted with an oxygen mask, onto the ambulance. The doctor then did a general checkup on her in the vehicle. After confirming that there were no major problems, the doctor said to Jiang Yule, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. Her body is fine. She just lacks some trace elements, which caused her to faint.¡± Jiang Yule somewhat understood what he said. ¡°So, what kind of illness does she have?¡± The doctor said, ¡°Simply put, she was working herself too hard and her diet was not healthy enough, which is why she fainted.¡± Jiang Yule finally understood. ¡°She was tired and overworked, right?¡± Shortly after escorting the lady into the hospital ward, Jiang Yule received a call from Li Xingyi. Jiang Yule briefly explained the situation to him, emphasizing that this lady was the mother of Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s first friend. Li Xingyi paused for a moment. ¡°¡­He actually made a friend?¡± He still had a lot of things to do, so he asked Jiang Yule to pass the phone to the hospital director, who was waiting nearby. After instructing him to take good care of the woman, Li Xingyi hung up. As soon as Mrs. Zuo arrived at the hospital, the nurse contacted her relatives. Half an hour later, a panting man ran into the ward. When he saw the thin figure lying on the bed, his eyes turned red. ¡°Xiaohui¡­¡± He held his wife¡¯s calloused hand tightly, and his eyes were filled with worry and remorse. A sweet and crisp voice came from the door. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s just a little malnourished. Once she takes the IV fluids, she should wake up.¡± Zuo You looked in the direction of the voice. When he was met with a pair of clear and gentle eyes, he was stunned. He recognized her at a glance. ¡°Sister Jiang!¡± ¡°Brother Zuo!¡± The two of them exclaimed in unison. Zuo You could never have imagined that the lady he met at the Li Corporation that day would coincidentally save his wife. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re our savior. I really don¡¯t know how I can repay you.¡± Jiang Yule smiled. She had wanted to take this opportunity to ask him about the location of the pig farm, but this moment was not the right time to ask. After offering a few simple words of comfort, Jiang Yule left the ward to give the young couple their space. Jiang Yule could not help but marvel as she pulled out the turtle that she had hastily stuffed into her pocket earlier when Mrs. Zuo fainted. ¡®It¡¯s amazing how things happen just when you need them to.¡¯ If it could, Wang Jianguo would shake its head. Seeing that Jiang Yule was in a good mood, it simply chose to giggle along. ¡­ Inside the conference room of the Li Corporation, Manager Xu, who was in charge of the animal husbandry department, sat in his chair sweating profusely. He wondered how the matter of that farmer had reached his superior¡¯s ears. The man sat across from him with his gaze downcast and his eyes devoid of emotion. He absently tapped his slender fingers on the table. The atmosphere in the conference room was eerie and quiet, and everyone made an effort to breathe softly. They all knew that Li Xingyi¡¯s seemingly subconscious action meant that he was very frustrated at the moment. Someone was probably going to be in trouble. The man, who had been lost in thought a moment before, suddenly focused his light-colored gaze on Manager Xu. His magnetic and deep voice rang in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°Go settle your payroll with the finance department. You don¡¯t need to come here anymore. ¡°Get someone to contact Zuo You immediately and buy his pig farm in the name of the Li Corporation.¡± Li Xingyi¡¯s sixth sense, which he had honed through years of hard work in the business world, told him that in the near future, the livestock industry might undergo revolutionary changes. ¡­ Meanwhile, Jiang Yule did not just stand around doing nothing. She went to the cafeteria downstairs and bought two nutritious-looking hospital meals. She believed that Brother Zuo You had rushed over in a hurry and did not have the time to eat. When she brought the meals upstairs, she almost bumped into a nurse who was running down with a medicine box. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t see you there.¡± Although the nurse apologized, Jiang Yule thought that her tone did not seem apologetic. It was more perfunctory. Jiang Yule lowered her head and picked up the lunch boxes on the ground. After making sure that they were not broken, she slowly raised her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ª¡± ¡°You!?¡± Jiang Yuxin¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Jiang Yule swallowed her apology. ¡®Oh, right¡­¡¯ She just remembered that Jiang Yuxin majored in nursing in university and had started her internship this year. However, Jiang Yule did not expect that the hospital Jiang Yuxin was interning at was actually a private hospital under the Li Corporation.

Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What are you doing here? Did something happen to Mr. Li? No wonder the head nurse said that there was a distinguished guest in the hospital, so everyone had to be alert. What happened to Mr. Li?¡± Jiang Yuxin asked three questions in rapid-fire. Jiang Yule could hear the excitement hidden in her seemingly concerned words. Jiang Yule lowered her head and discreetly rolled her eyes. ¡®Heh, if I didn¡¯t know better, it almost seems like Yuxin is the one who¡¯s expecting to inherit Li Xingyi¡¯s inheritance.¡¯ ¡°If you care so much about him, why don¡¯t you ask him yourself?¡± Jiang Yuxin was indeed about to carry the medicine box and head toward the hospital ward. ¡°You might as well save your energy. The one who¡¯s sick isn¡¯t Li Xingyi. It¡¯s my friend.¡± Upon learning that the person who was sick was not Li Xingyi, Jiang Yuxin did not even try to hide her disappointment and no longer wished to deliver the medicine. She immediately handed the medicine box to Jiang Yule. ¡°Since she¡¯s your friend, you can give her the medicine yourself. The instructions on how to take the medicine and the dosage are written in the manual.¡± Jiang Yule could not be bothered to argue with her. She took the medicine box and walked toward the ward. The dorky expression on Jiang Yuxin¡¯s face disappeared as soon as Jiang Yule left the stairwell. Jiang Yuxin¡¯s eyes darkened and she secretly followed her to the hospital room door, pressing her ear against it to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. Mrs. Zuo¡¯s name was actually Zhong Xiaohui. She had already opened her eyes and regained consciousness by the time Jiang Yule pushed the door open. Seeing her with a plastic bag of medicine boxes, Zuo You quickly got up to take them. ¡°Let me take that, Sister Jiang.¡± Jiang Yule handed him the medicine, along with the hospital meals that she had bought from the cafeteria. When the couple saw the food in the lunch boxes, embarrassment and uneasiness flashed across their eyes. The fact that Zhong Xiaohui had been arranged to stay in such a nice and quiet single room was already enough to make the two of them nervous. When they saw the food that Jiang Yule was providing them, they could not hide the embarrassment on their faces. Jiang Yule grew up in a lower-class family, so she naturally understood where their anxiety came from. She immediately explained, ¡°My sister works in this hospital. Now that the hospital wards are empty, I asked her to find a more comfortable ward for you. The doctor had said that there¡¯s nothing wrong with your body, and that you can be discharged today.¡± The couple were relieved by this. Being discharged today meant that the medical bill would not be too expensive. ¡°Sister Jiang, it¡¯s really too troublesome for you.¡± Zuo You bowed sincerely to Jiang Yule. Jiang Yule quickly reached out to hold him up. ¡°Brother Zuo, what are you doing? It¡¯s no trouble at all for me to lend a hand. Besides, Ranran is a good friend of my family¡¯s child. This small favor is nothing for you to worry about.¡± Jiang Yuxin, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, felt her eyelids twitch. ¡®So that¡¯s how it is.¡¯ Then, she left quietly. While chatting with the young couple, Jiang Yule reached into her pocket to touch the turtle inside and asked, ¡®Has she left yet?¡¯ The little turtle in her pocket slowly bumped its head against Jiang Yule¡¯s palm and replied, ¡®She has.¡¯ Jiang Yule¡¯s expression did not change as she invited Zuo You to sit down on the sofa beside her. She thought to herself that there was indeed something wrong with Jiang Yuxin. ¡°By the way, Brother Zuo, how¡¯s your pig farm doing?¡± Jiang Yule asked straightforwardly. Zuo You did not expect her to suddenly ask about this. He was stunned at first, then shook his head with a bitter smile. ¡°I don¡¯t plan on continuing to work in this area. I¡¯ve been looking for a suitable buyer, but I haven¡¯t found one yet.¡± Jiang Yule asked him how much he planned to sell the pig farm for, and Zuo You gave her the price. She nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Brother Zuo, how about this? I can offer you a 50% premium over the price you mentioned, and you can sell the pig farm to me.¡± Zuo You and Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°Sister Jiang, why would a young lady like you buy a pig farm? Don¡¯t be impulsive. The market environment is not good right now. From what I know, there have been dozens of pig farms that have gone bankrupt within a month. If you buy one, won¡¯t you just be waiting to lose money?¡± In fact, he could tell at first glance that Jiang Yule was not short of money, but he was also worried that she would lose out on a whim. Jiang Yule¡¯s heart felt warm. ¡®What a simple and kind couple.¡¯ ¡°Brother Zuo, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. I definitely have a use for it, and I won¡¯t let my money go to waste.¡± Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jiang Yule could only ask him, ¡°Did your sick pigs suddenly develop a fever of over forty degrees, followed by a loss of appetite and difficulty breathing? Did purple spots also appear on their bodies prior to their deaths?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zuo You did not expect her to know so much about the strange disease. The suspicion on his face turned into surprise. ¡°Sister Jiang, do you have a way to cure this strange disease?!¡± Jiang Yule shook her head. The world she came from did not have any special medicine for this disease. Zuo You lowered his head again. Although he did not say anything, disappointment was written all over his face. ¡°But I know a way to prevent it.¡± Just as she finished speaking, Zuo You raised his head again. He did not dare to underestimate Jiang Yule even though she was a young lady. He even felt a premonition in his heart. This young lady might actually be the savior sent by the heavens to their family. ¡°Sister Jiang, if you really want to acquire the pig farm, I don¡¯t need that much money. You can just pay the price I set. But I do have one condition¡­¡± Jiang Yule nodded and motioned for him to continue. Zuo You exchanged a glance with his wife and saw agreement and encouragement in her eyes. Then, he mustered up his courage and said, ¡°Do you mind if I work for you in your pig farm? I¡¯ve been working with pigs for over thirty years, and I know everything about them.¡± Jiang Yule smiled brightly. ¡°Even if you didn¡¯t mention it, I would have invited you to help me run the pig farm. I didn¡¯t expect us to have the same idea,¡± she said. After that, the two of them continued to discuss the management of the pig farm to the point where they even forgot to eat. As the discussion went on, Zuo You became increasingly surprised by Jiang Yule. Judging from her appearance alone, she seemed like a delicate young woman who had never worked in the fields before. However, through their conversation, Zuo You actually felt that she was more like an experienced pig breeder who had raised pigs for more than thirty years like he had. ¡­ Meanwhile at Joyful Kindergarten, when the teacher called Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s name, the little boy, who had been writing and drawing with his head down, immediately put down his pen and took the gloomy Zuo Qingran with him. The teacher saw them holding hands tightly and did not stop them. As soon as he walked out the door, Li Sui¡¯an, who wanted to ask Jiang Yule if Qingran¡¯s mother had recovered, suddenly saw a figure that he could not forget. His eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Uncle Li! You¡¯re here!¡± He pulled Zuo Qingran with him as he ran over to his uncle. Li Xingyi hesitated for a moment as he looked at the happy little boy, but he did not hug him. Li Sui¡¯an was not disappointed. He hugged Li Xingyi¡¯s thigh instead and asked, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Jiang Yule here?¡± Li Xingyi did not say anything. Beside him, Yang Chen stepped forward and explained on his behalf, ¡°Young Master, the madam is currently in the hospital with your friend¡¯s mother.¡± At the mention of Zuo Qingran¡¯s mother, Li Sui¡¯an released his grip on Li Xingyi¡¯s thigh and turned to look at his friend, who had a worried look on his face. Yang Chen added, ¡°Your friend¡¯s mother is fine. She¡¯s awake now. Master Li is actually here to bring you to the hospital to visit her.¡± Li Xingyi nodded slightly. If the hospital staff had not reported to Yang Chen that Jiang Yule had not left the ward, no one would have been here to pick up Li Sui¡¯an today. On the day Li Xingyi was hospitalized for his coughing, Jiang Yule only went through the procedure in a hurry and left in a hurry. Although she had her own reasons for rushing to leave, Li Xingyi still felt very annoyed. The more he recalled these memories, which bombarded his mind uncontrollably, the more he realized that the woman had only been pretending to love him. Why had he not noticed the hints before? Could it be that his vision, which was as good as a pilot¡¯s, had deteriorated without his knowledge? In the hospital, as Jiang Yule and Zuo You continued to discuss their future business together, Zhong Xiaohui, who was still nursing a headache, suddenly shot up from the bed. ¡°Oh no! I forgot to go pick up Qingran!¡± At her reminder, Jiang Yule suddenly remembered that she had also forgotten to pick up that tsundere dumpling Li Sui¡¯an! She looked at the time. It had been half an hour since the kindergarten ended. Jiang Yule jumped up from the sofa and waved her hand to signal for Zuo You, who was about to leave with her, to stay behind. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I kept talking and delayed you. I¡¯ll go pick up the two children. Brother Zuo, you can stay here and accompany your wife.¡± Zhong Xiaohui gave her an apologetic smile. ¡°I¡¯m always troubling you.¡± Jiang Yule gave her a comforting smile. However, as soon as she walked out of the ward, the smile left her face, because she just remembered that she came to the hospital in an ambulance. Her car was still parked at the entrance of the kindergarten. After a short period of frustration, Jiang Yule decided to take a taxi.

Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Just as she reached the lobby on the first floor, before she could walk out of the hospital, she heard a familiar two-faced person¡¯s voice exclaim in surprise, ¡°Mr. Li, why are you here?¡± Jiang Yule subconsciously hid behind a nearby vending machine. ¡®Did he come here because he started coughing again?¡¯ Li Xingyi, who had stridden swiftly into the building, suddenly stopped. Jiang Yuxin was in a good mood and thought that he was stopping for her. ¡°Mr. Li, we were destined to meet again! I¡¯ve been doing my internship in this hospital ever since I graduated. What a surprise it was for me to find out that you were the founder of this hospital.¡± Jiang Yuxin¡¯s words were meant to imply that this meeting was a coincidence. Jiang Yule was quite speechless. If Jiang Yuxin had been a transmigrator, then she would have fared much better than Ouyang Xuan. ¡®Li Xingyi, if you believe what she said, then you¡¯re a real idiot! She only studied nursing so that she can remove your oxygen tube in the future. Sigh, thinking about it, Li Xingyi is really pitiful. None of the women around him really like him. They only have eyes for the string of numbers in his bank account.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s bank account balance had enough digits to rival their national ID numbers, but that just meant that his account was more appealing than he was. Ignoring Jiang Yuxin, Li Xingyi bent over and whispered to Li Sui¡¯an, ¡°See that vending machine? Let¡¯s go take a look. There¡¯s a surprise behind it.¡± The little boy was pleasantly surprised. He held Zuo Qingran¡¯s hand and they ran over to the vending machine. ¡°Is it Ultraman?¡± Then, they awkwardly met eyes with Jiang Yule, whose sneaky behavior made her look suspicious. Jiang Yule reached out and patted Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry that your hopes have been dashed. I¡¯m not Ultraman¡­ I¡¯m Ultramom!¡± Li Sui¡¯an was speechless. ¡°Now I understand why Ultraman Tiga doesn¡¯t want to come to Earth.¡± Jiang Yule was about to retort when she noticed a pair of branded, shiny leather shoes. When the feelings were brewed in place, and the tears had accumulated in her eyes, ready to fall out, she finally raised her head. ¡°Master Li, did you come to the hospital to look for me because you missed me too much?¡± ¡®Hi there, old man!¡¯ Li Xingyi glanced at her and said to the director standing beside him, ¡°Get an ophthalmologist over here.¡± Jiang Yule¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡®Tsk, if you¡¯re going blind now, how are you going to clean up your own mess in the next twenty years?¡¯ Li Xingyi regretted coming here. Was his life too long that he had come to seek out suffering? Jiang Yule was even waving her hand in front of his hand. She was showing him a random number of fingers to test him and make sure that he was not actually blind. In contrast, the group of hospital executives next to him had serious expressions on their faces after hearing what he said. Meanwhile, Li Sui¡¯an was still young and did not have many complicated thoughts. He asked directly, ¡°Uncle, is there a problem with your eyes?¡± As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yule could not help but marvel at the child¡¯s eloquence. Looking at his careful wording, if it were her, she probably would have bluntly asked, ¡°Are you blind?¡± Li Xingyi reached out and touched his soft hair. ¡°It¡¯s just a normal checkup.¡± Jiang Yule started the waterworks before she could even hear what he said clearly. ¡°I¡¯m so glad you¡¯re okay! I thought you didn¡¯t like seeing me, so your eyes developed problems,¡± she said. ¡®Even I am starting to pity myself now. Li Xingyi, hurry up and say your usual lines so that I can leave.¡¯ Li Xingyi glanced at her but said nothing. Jiang Yule was speechless. As expected, Li Xingyi had been opposing her recently! ¡­ Later, after she delivered Zuo Qingran to his parents, Jiang Yule walked out of the ward. She was about to look for Li Xingyi when she saw a new Weibo notification on her phone. [Breaking news! Li Xingyi silently admitted that his eye disease was caused by Jiang Yule!] The comments below the post were all criticizing her. [Jiang Yule, do you have any shame?! Can¡¯t you just stay at home and be a caged bird? Why do you keep messing with CEO Li?] [I can¡¯t believe it. If my boyfriend¡¯s eyes turn blind from looking at pictures of you, you should just disappear from the face of the earth!] Jiang Yule stopped reading the annoying comments and turned off her phone. She was not sure if Li Xingyi¡¯s eyes were really damaged because of her, but it was clear that many people were jealous of her. She rushed to Li Xingyi¡¯s exclusive private room. When Wang Jianguo prompted her, she did not barge in, but approached the door to eavesdrop on any movements inside. The two strong bodyguards flanking the door were speechless as they watched her suspicious actions. ¡®Does she think we¡¯re blind?¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, they could only endure it. After all, this sneaky woman was the rightful mistress of the Li Family. Although Jiang Yule could not see what was going on inside, she could still hear some voices when she put her ear against the door. After she had identified which voice was the doctor¡¯s and tuned it out, Jiang Yule listened carefully to the familiar woman and Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s soft voice. ¡°An-An, have you been standing here waiting for Jiang Yule to come and for you? Don¡¯t bother waiting. Let me tell you a little secret. Jiang Yule is a bad person. She used to secretly pinch children¡¯s faces and even spank their bottoms. ¡°When Mr. Li isn¡¯t around, does she give you the cold shoulder? She¡¯s the kind of person who smiles while hiding a knife. It¡¯s better to stay away from her, you hear? Otherwise, she might secretly spank your bottom one day!¡± Li Sui¡¯an thought to himself, ¡®You¡¯re mistaken. Jiang Yule is always openly spanking my bottom!¡¯ Jiang Yuxin noticed that no matter how much she instigated, the child in front of her remained indifferent, not even bothering to spare her a glance. Jiang Yuxin looked back at Li Xingyi and the others who were still busy with something and not noticing her talking to the child. Then, she gritted her teeth and threatened the little boy, ¡°It¡¯s useless to wait. She doesn¡¯t want you.¡± Li Sui¡¯an, who had been ignoring her, suddenly turned around. Jiang Yuxin thought that her evil plan had succeeded and was about to add fuel to the fire when the little boy¡¯s tiny mouth opened and he said in an even fiercer tone, ¡°Abandoning a child is a serious crime. If she dares, I will let the law punish her!¡± This little young heir may not have grown up yet, but his every move already carried an air of dominance. Jiang Yuxin was speechless. ¡®How does this five-year-old brat know everything?¡¯ Although her voice was faint, Jiang Yule still heard the child¡¯s answer clearly, which made her extremely happy. The phrase ¡°so-and-so doesn¡¯t want you anymore¡± was a statement that many foolish adults used to tease children. Li Sui¡¯an was more sensitive than other children because his father passed away early. So, to ensure that he would grow up healthy both physically and mentally, and not be affected by hurtful words, Jiang Yule had prepared a plan in advance. She found a response to refute such phrases and shared it with the child. However, she did not expect her method to come into use so soon. While she was grinning from ear to ear, something big happened in Zuo You¡¯s wife¡¯s ward. After Zuo You charged his phone, it started vibrating crazily as though it had malfunctioned. He glanced at his phone and found dozens of missed calls. The name of the contact shocked him. Jiang Yule had planned to visit Zhong Xiaohui again before leaving the hospital, but since Li Xingyi was by her side, she could only obediently accompany him. She could not help but admire her own professionalism, and how she never forgot to maintain her persona no matter what. ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s wrong with my husband¡¯s eyes?¡± Her face was full of worry, and her voice was trembling. Li Xingyi deliberately glanced at her. He did not hear that strange voice. ¡®Maybe she¡¯s saying what she¡¯s actually thinking this time.¡¯ The doctor was touched by Jiang Yule¡¯s love for Li Xingyi and could not help but comfort her. ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t have to worry. There¡¯s nothing wrong with Master Li¡¯s eyes. This is just a routine checkup.¡± Jiang Yule let out a long sigh. ¡®Oh, God bless him! I¡¯d be willing to exchange Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s kidney for the health of Li Xingyi¡¯s eyes.¡¯ Li Xingyi was speechless. He almost wanted to cry at the audacious thought from this woman and the mental image of a sickly Li Sui¡¯an. Li Sui¡¯an ran over and tugged at Li Xingyi¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Uncle Li, when can we go home?¡± ¡°We can leave now.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s hurry back. I still have to study.¡± The little boy was so sleepy that he kept yawning, and his body even began to sway. Li Xingyi stroked the child¡¯s hair and nodded at Yang Chen. The bodyguard understood and immediately picked up the child. ¡°Young Master Li, sleep in my arms for now. We¡¯ll head home soon.¡± Jiang Yule thought, ¡®I want to hold him, too.¡¯ Li Xingyi glanced at her body, which looked very ugly to him all of a sudden, with an indescribable contempt in his gaze. As though she had realized something, Jiang Yule glanced at the large group of people in the room, but she could not find Jiang Yuxin¡¯s figure. ¡®How strange. Is it possible that she suddenly changed her mind and no longer wants to be a kissa*s?¡¯ ¡­ Later, when Li Xingyi and everyone else squeezed into the elevator, the drawbacks of overcrowding became apparent. Hearing the alarm beeping at the exceeded weight limit, everyone could not hide their embarrassment. Jiang Yule had been observing Li Xingyi¡¯s expression all the while. As she watched the corners of his mouth slowly form a grimace, she immediately understood and coughed. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The elevator was so crowded that it was a bit difficult to breathe. But suddenly, everyone rushed out, and only Jiang Yule and Li Xingyi were left in the elevator. Jiang Yule clicked her tongue in wonder. ¡°Am I that intimidating?¡± Yang Chen, who was cradling Li Sui¡¯an in his arms, thought to himself, ¡®Everyone is just afraid that you¡¯ll cry and make a scene.¡¯ As the elevator door slowly closed, Li Xingyi glanced at the pretentious girl who was clinging to him shamelessly. ¡®Is there really no problem with Li Xingyi¡¯s eyes? Why is he squinting at me?¡¯ Li Xingyi lowered his eyes. He did not want anyone, particularly his heir, to ¡°lose a kidney.¡± Jiang Yule was bored and thought that it was time for her to act cute. After all, she had to maintain her image when she was alone with Li Xingyi. At this moment, the lights in the elevator that were as bright as day suddenly went out. Then, the elevator stopped descending. The entire space fell into darkness in an instant. Jiang Yule was shocked at first, but after she calmed down, she went to press the emergency button on the elevator¡­ But no one responded. Wang Jianguo suddenly said in her mind, ¡®Host! Don¡¯t forget your character! You¡¯re supposed to be a fragile and pitiful flower!¡¯ ¡°Ah! It¡¯s so dark, I¡¯m so scared!¡± She cried out as she leaned into Li Xingyi¡¯s arms. Wang Jianguo, who was still a turtle in her pocket, could not help but exclaim, ¡®Host, your acting is so good! Even your trembling is so realistic. But maybe do less of that, because I¡¯m starting to get dizzy.¡¯ Jiang Yule replied, ¡®Why thank you for your compliment! But I¡¯m not the one who¡¯s trembling.¡¯ Wang Jianguo was speechless. ¡°Master Li? Are you alright?¡± Jiang Yule sensed that something was wrong and tried to call for help. In the next second, the man next to her began to tremble uncontrollably. Previously, he had actively avoided her, but at this moment, his arms were wrapped around Jiang Yule like an octopus. His embrace was so tight that it threatened to strangle her. In the silent elevator, the man¡¯s ragged breathing became more obvious. ¡®D*mn, what¡¯s wrong with you, man? Can you not mess with me? How am I supposed to weep when you¡¯re like this? I can¡¯t get into character like this!¡¯ Wang Jianguo immediately searched the database for information about Li Xingyi. ¡®Li Xingyi has claustrophobia! It¡¯s very likely that he¡¯s already having trouble breathing because of his fear. You don¡¯t have to maintain your persona for now. Hurry up and do something!¡¯ Jiang Yule immediately withdrew her hand from his embrace and pulled out her phone from her pocket to turn on the flashlight. In the next second, the pitch-black elevator was illuminated by a warm light. Jiang Yule placed her hand gently on Li Xingyi¡¯s back and rubbed it slowly. ¡°Li Xingyi, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± The person in her arms was still stiff, so she reached out and touched his hair. ¡®Whoa! Whoa! You didn¡¯t put gel in your hair today. It¡¯s quite soft, like a fluffy puppy!¡¯ ¡°Li Xingyi, someone will come to save us soon. I¡¯ll tell you a story while we wait. Not that you can hear me, anyway.¡± There were not many opportunities for Jiang Yule to relax and stop pretending in front of Li Xingyi, and she wanted to cherish the moment. The corners of her lips curled up, revealing a malicious smile. ¡°A long time ago, there was a poor little girl. She was an orphan with no parents. She lived in the village with her grandmother, whom she depended on for survival. After her grandmother passed away, she could only rely on selling bombs to make a living every day. ¡°One day, she didn¡¯t manage to sell a single bomb, and when night came, she was cold and hungry. While all alone in the cold and dark, she thought of her grandmother and how much she missed her. In the bone-chilling winter, the little girl curled up in the corner alone with no way to warm herself up. ¡°She had no choice but to light a bomb for warmth. Later, she met her grandmother like she had wished for. Actually, everyone in the village also met her grandmother that night¡­¡± If Li Xingyi knew that Jiang Yule had not only told him this dark joke, but had also used it to scare Li Sui¡¯an, he would definitely have changed his will before he passed out. He did not know what happened later, he only knew that he was stubborn and did not raise the corners of his mouth in the last second before he lost consciousness. ¡­ ¡®Is my makeup too thick? Would the old man notice that something is wrong?¡¯ Li Xingyi moved his fingers. Who was speaking in his ear? ¡®Forget the lipstick. It¡¯s all about showing genuine emotions. I need to let him know that the illness is in his body, but the pain is in my heart.¡¯ ¡®I know who what is, even without looking,¡¯ Li Xingyi thought. Thus, when Li Xingyi slowly opened his eyes, he glanced to the side and saw the pitiful woman beside him. Tears were streaming down her face. ¡°Master Li, you scared me to death! Sob¡­¡± Hearing Jiang Yule¡¯s sorrowful sobs, Li Xingyi turned his head to the side and closed his eyes again. ¡®Yeah, her makeup is too heavy, and it makes her look like a paper doll.¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Madam, please make way for us to examine Master Li.¡± A few weary doctors walked into the ward and swarmed toward Li Xingyi. Jiang Yule was about to stand up when she saw Li Xingyi suddenly open his eyes. His amber-colored eyes stared coldly at the doctor who had asked Jiang Yule to move aside, but he did not say a word. He then stared at her until her hair stood on end. The employees of the Li Corporation were all smart people. The doctor wisely decided to change tactics. ¡°On second thought, why don¡¯t you stay put, Madam? You sitting here won¡¯t delay anything.¡± Li Xingyi slowly closed his eyes. The surrounding doctors ignored their surprise, and heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yule was speechless. ¡®The heck was that? Are you trying to enact some ¡°marriage before love¡± drama? Or do you think that keeping someone as strong as me around will give you a sense of security?¡¯ Li Xingyi almost could not hold back from speaking. Instead, he thought, ¡®Forget it, with your small build, you¡¯ll be blown away with just a gust of wind.¡¯ The inspection process was extremely complicated. It took a while, so Li Xingyi fell asleep again, and Jiang Yule was finally able to get away and relax for a while. She stood in the corridor in a daze. A handsome male nurse passed by her frequently, looking at her as though he had something to say. It was only when Jiang Yule was about to leave when he mustered up the courage to stop her. ¡°Madam Li¡­¡± He smiled shyly. His tidy appearance gave off a good impression. Jiang Yule nodded and smiled at him. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing her kind smile, the male nurse, who was initially hesitant, gathered his courage again. ¡°There¡¯s something I¡¯ve been hesitant to tell you, but I don¡¯t think you should be kept in the dark. So, here it is. ¡°The elevator malfunctioned quite suddenly. It was not an accident. Someone deliberately sabotaged it.¡± After saying this, he lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yule from the corner of his eyes, wanting to see her reaction. However, Jiang Yule did not show the panic and shock that he had imagined. She even looked calm. Where was the fragile little flower he expected to see? ¡°Do you know who did it?¡± Jiang Yule¡¯s expression did not change, but she was secretly sizing up this unfamiliar young man. She had a feeling that he did not come just to tell her this. If it had been a real issue, why did he not tell his superiors? Why did he come to her? Wang Jianguo was very excited. ¡®Host, you¡¯re quite shrewd.¡¯ The male nurse heard her question and subconsciously gulped. ¡°I was getting some fresh air on the rooftop when I heard some strange noises coming from the elevator¡¯s engine room¡­¡± He glanced at Jiang Yule¡¯s expression first before continuing, ¡°I took a peek inside. I saw a tall and muscular man there, but I couldn¡¯t see his face clearly. He was wearing a dark-green jacket and black pants. I didn¡¯t get to see what kind of shoes he was wearing.¡± Jiang Yule mulled over his description. She was about to say something when Wang Jianguo suddenly poked its head out of her pocket. ¡®Host! Wasn¡¯t Zuo You wearing a dark-green jacket and black pants when he came to the hospital today?!¡¯ ¡°¡­I understand.¡± Jiang Yule suddenly asked, ¡°Does anyone else know about this?¡± The male nurse did not expect her to accept this information so easily. He himself was still a little frazzled by it. ¡°Uh, I didn¡¯t tell anyone else.¡± Jiang Yule smiled. ¡°You came to tell me this because you have something else to say, right?¡± His hidden thoughts were seen through with a single glance! The nurse blushed slightly. He gritted his teeth, and then, as if he had come to a decision, he said, ¡°Do you feel¡­ lonely in your daily life? Do you need someone to accompany you? I can accompany you. Look, I have an acceptable appearance, I¡¯m good at taking care of things, and I¡¯m not clingy.¡± Wang Jianguo could not bear to listen to this, so it simply retreated into its shell. Jiang Yule raised her eyebrows. ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself to say all this. I know that you prefer men.¡± The male nurse was shocked and could not help but curse under his breath. No one had ever told him that Jiang Yule was a mind reader who could even discern someone¡¯s sexual orientation! ¡°You¡­ Who told you this?!¡± He subconsciously took two steps back. Jiang Yule smiled. ¡°Your natural-style makeup is better than mine.¡± ¡­ The male nurse, whose plan had failed, returned to the nurse station and dared not even lift his head as he looked at the person across from him, who had a cold and indifferent expression. ¡°Sister Yuxin¡­¡± he called out in a low voice. He was afraid of provoking that person¡¯s wrath. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jiang Yuxin was furious when she saw his submissive look. She asked in a severe tone, ¡°Did she believe you?¡± The male nurse nodded repeatedly, ¡°Yes, she believed me. She even mentioned giving me a reward. Sister Yuxin, I obediently followed your instructions. Can you delete those photos now?¡± There was uneasiness in his tone. Jiang Yuxin sneered. She took out her phone and deleted all the photos from her album that she had used to threaten him. The handsome boy finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡­ Meanwhile, after the male nurse had left, Jiang Yule turned around and called Zuo You. The phone only rang once before the call was picked up. ¡°Sister Jiang, we just got home. Also, about what you told me at the hospital, I thought about it¡­¡± After chatting with Zuo You for around twenty minutes, Jiang Yule hung up the phone. Then, she heard a faint sound from Li Xingyi¡¯s hospital ward and immediately walked inside. Li Xingyi had woken up from his peaceful slumber and was sitting up on the hospital bed. His white shirt, which was always meticulously taken care of, had become wrinkled, and his hair was a little messy. He looked different from his usual self. ¡°Master Li, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you need me to call the doctor over?¡± Jiang Yule asked with concern in her eyes. Then, she turned around and was about to leave to find a doctor. But before she could take a few steps, the man¡¯s deep and magnetic voice came from behind her. ¡°There¡¯s no need to call a doctor.¡± Jiang Yu Le had no choice but to turn around and maintain a gentle smile on her face. ¡®Weren¡¯t you unconscious in the elevator? You shouldn¡¯t remember what I said, right?¡¯ This was what the system had told her. Wang Jianguo was speechless. ¡®No, I never said that.¡¯ Li Xingyi calmly passed her the necktie that he had just pulled off. He wanted her to help him re-tie it for him. Then, his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed involuntarily, and it drew Jiang Yule¡¯s attention immediately. ¡®The internet says that the bigger the Adam¡¯s apple¡­¡¯ Li Xingyi, having a rough idea of what she was about to say, was just about to lift the corner of his lips in a smirk when he heard the next sentence. ¡®¡­the bigger the jaw muscles.¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s face darkened. It seemed that he would never be able to guess the woman¡¯s thoughts. When she was finished, Jiang Yule asked in a gentle voice, ¡°Master Li, are you satisfied?¡± Her slightly flushed face was filled with joy. She took a step back, and her doe-like eyes were shining, as if waiting for his praise. Li Xingyi wondered why it felt as though his tie was trying to strangle him today. He reached up to loosen it, but he did not feel the familiar leading knot. He immediately looked down and saw a perfectly tied bow tie in the middle of his collar. ¡°You¡­ What did you do?¡± Jiang Yule smiled gently. ¡°This is a new technique that I recently learned online. They say it¡¯s both elegant and masculine, and it has been trending lately.¡± ¡®You haven¡¯t seen it before, right? Of course not, because I made it up!¡¯ Li Xingyi¡¯s face turned grim as he forcefully untied the bow tie that Jiang Yule had tied. With his well-defined fingers, he swiftly re-tied the tie and then said to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°After you, Master Li,¡± Jiang Yule said with a lowered gaze. ¡®Hasn¡¯t your teacher taught you to do things by yourself since you were young? You even asked me to tie your tie. Do I look like someone who knows how to tie a tie? ¡®But Li Xingyi¡¯s attitude today seems really strange. Could he have actually heard the story in the elevator?¡¯ As she was muttering in her heart, the man walking in front of her suddenly turned around. ¡°Selling bombs?¡± Jiang Yule broke out in a cold sweat. ¡®No way!¡¯ She tentatively said, ¡°Master Li, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Li Xingyi ignored her, as if what he had said was just her imagination. It made Jiang Yule feel anxious throughout the journey back home. The two of them returned to the main residence of the Li Family. Jiang Yule had just stepped into the main hall when Li Sui¡¯an suddenly ran up to her and hugged her leg tightly. She lowered her head and saw a drowsy child who was still fighting to stay awake. ¡°Why did you come home so late? You haven¡¯t told me the bedtime story you promised me!¡± Li Sui¡¯an complained. Aunt Wang also came to them with a smile. ¡°Young Master Li has been waiting for you to return. I did ask him to go to bed first, but he refused.¡± However, Li Sui¡¯an denied it. He snorted coldly and quietly retorted, ¡°Who was waiting for her? I stayed awake because I wasn¡¯t tired.¡± Jiang Yule could not help but laugh. She bent down and hugged the little boy in her arms. She kissed his fair, chubby face and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll tell you a bedtime story now. You need to go to bed early because you have to go to school tomorrow.¡± As soon as he heard about going to school tomorrow, the little boy¡¯s eyebrows furrowed tightly. Even the haughty and dominant young master of the Li Family, like any ordinary child, disliked the idea of going to school.

Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Li Xingyi quietly watched the interaction between the two of them and felt a little emotional. This was the first time that Li Sui¡¯an did not come to hug him first and instead went to hug Jiang Yule. He had been worried that Jiang Yule would mistreat him because the other half of the inheritance belonged to Li Sui¡¯an. But it seemed that the situation was not quite what he had expected. Li Sui¡¯an has had a sensitive personality since he was young. If he could trust and rely on someone, then that person must have treated him well. ¡°Master Li, I¡¯ll take Little Dumpling upstairs to sleep first.¡± She even bid Li Xingyi good night before she left. Li Xingyi was a little surprised. ¡°Little Dumpling?¡± Jiang Yule was momentarily surprised by his question. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s the nickname I gave him. You called him An-An. How can I call him by the same nickname as you do?¡± Li Xingyi nodded and did not say anything. ¡®What a relief. If you didn¡¯t let me call him Little Dumpling, then I can only use what I called you behind your back. Teehee¡­¡¯ Noticing the footsteps behind her, Jiang Yule slowly turned her head and met a pair of clear amber-colored eyes. ¡°Master Li, do you need something?¡± ¡®Why are you following us?¡¯ Li Xingyi glanced at her. ¡°You¡¯re going to tell him a bedtime story, right? I want to hear it, too.¡± After saying that, he walked straight on and led the way. Jiang Yule was speechless. ¡®Are you out of your mind?¡¯ ¡­ After she saw Li Xingyi leave the room, Jiang Yule finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had decided to continue reading the book ¡°How to Make and Keep Friends¡± to Li Sui¡¯an. Fortunately, when she was about to take out the book, Li Xingyi received a call. ¡°I remember emphasizing that no one is allowed to contact me after work.¡± He placed his hand on the guardrail in front of him. Li Xingyi¡¯s well-defined side profile looked a little cold under the dim yellow light. The person on the other end of the phone was stunned at first, then he apologized repeatedly and went straight to the point. ¡°CEO Li, we just contacted the person in charge of the pig farm that you want us to acquire. The person in charge said that he just signed a contract today and sold the pig farm.¡± Logically speaking, it was just a purchase of a pig farm, and it was not worth disturbing Li Xingyi at night about. However, Li Xingyi had specifically handed this matter over to Wu Bing at the meeting, so Wu Bing did not dare to let this go unreported. Li Xingyi tapped impatiently on the guardrail with his fingers. His expression did not change. ¡°Is it Dongrui or Puwang?¡± Even though the Li Corporation was the biggest giant in the business world, they still had their competitors. For a small and insignificant pig farm to be specially targeted for acquisition by the Li Corporation¡­ Other than those two companies, who else would dare to interfere? ¡°I asked the person in charge, but he didn¡¯t want to give me the name of the buyer,¡± Wu Bing replied. ¡°I¡¯ve also sent people to investigate this, but they didn¡¯t find anything.¡± Li Xingyi raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°Interesting. Continue with the investigation.¡± By the time he finished the call, Jiang Yule had already coaxed Li Sui¡¯an to sleep and quickly put the book away. ¡°Master Li, the young master is asleep,¡± said Jiang Yule submissively as she came out of the room. Li Xingyi looked at the child, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and reached out to touch his soft hair. His expression was unprecedentedly gentle. Jiang Yule stood at the side and watched. Jiang Yule felt that, although this man usually pretended not to care about anything, she had long suspected that Li Xingyi¡¯s heart ached for the little boy. When Li Xingyi withdrew his hand, Jiang Yule commented silently in her heart, ¡®A man who says one thing but means another.¡¯ Li Xingyi remained silent. Jiang Yule¡¯s way of praising people was indeed refreshing and unconventional. For the first time in what felt like forever, Li Xingyi did not feel the urge to leave. Instead, he planned to stay at the main residence tonight. Jiang Yule was caught off guard. ¡°Master Li, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll ask Aunt Wang to clear a room for you.¡± She turned around and was about to go downstairs when Li Xingyi suddenly grabbed her arm and drew her back. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll sleep in the master bedroom tonight.¡± ¡®Absolutely not!!¡¯ The high-pitched internal shriek almost blew Li Xingyi¡¯s ears. ¡°Um¡­ Master Li, I¡¯m staying in the master bedroom now. Are you planning to¡­ stay the night with me?¡± Even though she was already screaming in her heart, Jiang Yule did not forget her character and showed a barely-there look of anticipation. In her pocket, Wang Jianguo wiggled its limbs excitedly. ¡®Host, has anyone ever told you that, if you went into acting, you would win an Oscar?¡¯ Jiang Yule replied, ¡®If you were electrocuted by a system, your acting skills would improve by leaps and bounds, too.¡¯ Li Xingyi was often worried about her mental state. By acting so differently compared to how she actually was, would she not really become mentally ill over time?

Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yule was completely dumbfounded. Chinese culture was vast and profound, but did the word ¡°yes¡± have any other meaning besides expressing affirmation? Unfortunately, Jiang Yule knew there was not. He wanted to sleep with her?! Jiang Yule could not smile anymore as she watched Li Xingyi walk up to the third floor in large strides. ¡®Li Xingyi, did you get possessed by someone else¡¯s spirit?¡¯ ¡­ Ten minutes later, Jiang Yule touched the cushion under her indignantly. Then, she turned her head and looked at the luxurious bed that she had slept in for two years. She gritted her teeth and covered herself with her blanket. ¡®I¡¯ve learned something new today. Domineering CEOs can sit on a girl¡¯s soft bed and say in an alluring voice, ¡°Not bad, the bed is quite comfortable. I¡¯ll sleep here.¡± ¡®They can also proceed to take ownership of the bed and kick the girl to the floor! Li Xingyi, I hope you¡¯re asleep, because I can¡¯t stand lying on this hard floor anymore!¡¯ The man on the bed smirked in the darkness and silently thought, ¡®Why yes, thank you. I am, in fact, asleep.¡¯ Then, he decided to tune out Jiang Yule¡¯s complaints. ¡­ Early the next morning, Jiang Yule was still half-asleep when her fingers came into contact with the familiar bedding. In an instant, they were fully awake. She had actually gone from the floor back to the bed. Jiang Yule sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at her surroundings and thought, ¡®Li Xingyi has a conscience, after all! At least he didn¡¯t leave me on the floor.¡¯ ¡°Madam, you¡¯re up already? I was about to wake you up.¡± One of the servants walked into the room with a slightly sweaty forehead. ¡°By the way, Madam, don¡¯t sleep on the floor again next time. It¡¯s so cold on the floor. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I called a few more servants to help me carry you to the bed. You look small, but you¡¯re surprisingly heavy!¡± She had a look of embarrassment on her face, as she was hesitant to mention that because the madam had been lying on the floor, some of the servants had to delay their own work to come move her. Jiang Yule was speechless. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for troubling you. I¡¯ll tell Aunt Wang to allocate a bonus for you at the end of the month.¡± The cleaning lady waved her hands repeatedly to dismiss the notion. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Madam. Besides, you don¡¯t have the authority to give us bonuses.¡± Jiang Yule thought to herself that she was right. The servants of the Li Family were very sensible people, unlike the portrayals in novels where they would flatter those above them and undermine those below them, or secretly sabotage the mistress while the master was away. The Li Family¡¯s servants were very straightforward and did not bully her, but neither did they flatter her. ¡­ When Jiang Yule arrived at the dining room, she saw that Li Xingyi had already taken his seat at the head of the table. It was already a little past 7 a.m., yet his hair had not been styled yet. His bangs curled delicately over his forehead. Jiang Yule was reminded of the soft texture she felt when she touched it in the elevator the other day. He was wearing a tailored white shirt and sat at the dining table¡­ watching cartoons with Li Sui¡¯an. Li Xingyi was holding a cup with cartoon patterns, and it was filled with warm, sweet milk. This was Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s favorite drink for breakfast, and it seemed that he had decided to share his milk with his uncle. Jiang Yule thought, ¡®Sweet milk! The CEO¡¯s image is completely shattered! Shouldn¡¯t you be drinking tea or an iced Americano instead?¡¯ When he heard the astonished thought, Li Xingyi raised his head and took a sip of the warm milk. The reason why he had an ¡°iron stomach¡± was because he never drank tea or iced coffee. As Jiang Yule came over and took the tablet away, the little boy wailed bitterly, ¡°No! I haven¡¯t finished that episode yet!¡± Because of Li Xingyi¡¯s presence, Jiang Yule did not spank him as she usually did. Instead, she smiled kindly at him and said, ¡°Little Dumpling, be good. If you don¡¯t eat now, you¡¯re going to be late.¡± Li Sui¡¯an heard her gentle tone and saw the dangerous gleam in her eyes, and suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine. ¡®Vicious woman!¡¯ The boy lowered his head and took a bite of his sandwich. He suddenly remembered something and said to Li Xingyi, ¡°Uncle, our kindergarten will have a performance next week. Will you have time to come and watch it?¡± Jiang Yule suddenly remembered that she had indeed seen the notice sent by Li Sui¡¯an¡¯s teacher in the parents¡¯ group chat. ¡®If I remember correctly, his class will be performing ¡°Snow White.¡±¡® Li Xingyi put down the cup of milk in his hand. ¡°Which role are you performing? It must be the prince who woke Snow White with a kiss.¡± Li Sui¡¯an puffed out his chest proudly. ¡°I¡¯m playing the most important role in the development of the plot¡­¡± Li Xingyi nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the successor he thought highly of¡ª ¡°I¡¯m playing the role of the evil stepmother who gives Snow White the poisoned apple!¡± Jiang Yule almost burst into laughter. ¡®No one would¡¯ve guessed that this is the child of a domineering CEO. How on earth did Li Xingyi raise him?¡¯ Li Xingyi tried his utmost to suppress his amusement and thought, ¡®Shouldn¡¯t I be the one asking you that question?!¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible.
