Qin Mohan's gaze was somewhat unfocused after reading the documents.

Not long ago, when he had held her in the car, he had still been happily thinking:

This little pet is so soft and well-behaved, and she smells nice, too.

When he held her, even his irritable feelings disappeared.

In that brief time in the car, he had nearly fallen asleep. He had even secretly planned to take good care of her in the future.

He never expected...

The scene in the hospital ward flashed through Qin Mohan's mind, and a trace of viciousness swept across his eyes.

As if disgusted, he threw the documents in his hand into Lin Shen's arms, then turned and walked toward the corridor.

"She's nothing more than a slightly cute little pet."

Since she already belonged to someone else, he would forget it.

Behind him, Lin Shen held the documents and stared blankly. Then, he felt a wave of relief.

As expected of his CEO—he could pick things up and put them down.

Previously, he had seen how much the CEO treasured her. Even when getting out of the car, he had moved with great care, unwilling to wake Su Qiao.

Then he had urgently ordered the men below to investigate Su Qiao's background.

Lin Shen had thought he truly cherished that young woman, Su Qiao.

It turned out that it had only been a whim. He had simply wanted to raise a little pet.

Lin Shen relaxed, wiped away nonexistent sweat, and followed after him feeling completely at ease.

Up ahead, Qin Mohan had just opened the door a crack when he heard an annoying voice. His footsteps halted involuntarily.

"CEO?"

Lin Shen, following closely behind, did not know why and called out softly.

Qin Mohan turned and glanced at him, signaling for him to shut up.

Since it was a VIP Ward, there were not many patients staying here. This floor was relatively quiet, and there was hardly anyone in the corridor.

By the window at the end of the corridor, a handsome man stood with his back to them, talking on the phone.

"Xiaoyu, was what happened to Su Qiao your doing?"

Qin Yu stared coldly out the window and spoke angrily.

"That's right. I did it."

Hearing the anger in his voice, Guo Xiaoyu was angry as well on the other end of the phone.

Her beautiful face was filled with indignation.

She did not try to hide it and directly admitted that it had been her handiwork.

"Do you even know what you're doing? Do you realize this will affect my plans?"

Qin Yu was genuinely angry this time.

It was a crucial moment. He was going to marry Su Qiao next month, yet something like this had happened now.

"What plans? She didn't die, did she?"

"She only lost a leg. Isn't that perfect? Now that she's crippled, won't it make it easier for you to control Su Qiao?"

Guo Xiaoyu simply could not stand how he was always so soft-spoken and gentle when coaxing that woman.

She was an orphan with no parents and no backing. Was there any need to be so careful and ingratiating with her?

Hadn't they agreed that she was only a shield? Hadn't they agreed that it was only for the shares in that woman Su Qiao's hands?

Yet Qin Yu cared about her and treated her with even more consideration than an ordinary boyfriend.

Again and again, he had canceled dates with her for the sake of that stupid woman.

Sometimes, she really wondered whether Qin Yu had fallen for that stupid woman.

Hearing the anger in Guo Xiaoyu's words, Qin Yu paused, then calmed down.

He rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Forget it. Let this matter end here. Remember to clean up the loose ends."

"Don't worry. I won't cause you any trouble."

Guo Xiaoyu knew when to stop while she was ahead.

Besides, Qin Yu no longer blamed her, and the corners of her lips could not help curving up smugly.

That woman had lost a leg. Other than saying a few words to her, A Yu did not care at all. This showed that A Yu did not like that woman in the slightest.

That woman would not even be able to stand in the future. Wouldn't that mean Guo Xiaoyu could play with her however she wanted?

Thinking this, Guo Xiaoyu felt immensely satisfied.

Ever since she learned that Qin Yu and Su Qiao were getting married next month, the frustration that had been weighing on her chest finally poured out.

Qin Yu found her impulsiveness rather troublesome.
