"Xiaoyu, next time you want to do something, could you discuss it with me first?"

Something like this had happened so suddenly that he had been completely unprepared.

He really disliked this feeling of things being beyond his control.

Seeing that he was still making a fuss over such a minor matter, Guo Xiaoyu let out a cold snort:

"Hmph, discuss it with you? Would you agree if I did?"

The heart that had just settled sank again.

"Or could it be that you've really fallen for that useless woman? Or maybe you've taken a fancy to her pretty little face?"

Guo Xiaoyu had always secretly worried that Qin Yu would touch Su Qiao after they got married.

That was why she had taken advantage of that idiot Guo Min, wanting to ruin Su Qiao directly and eliminate that possibility once and for all.

"Xiaoyu, you know perfectly well that you're the one in my heart." A trace of impatience flashed through Qin Yu's eyes.

Guo Xiaoyu relaxed. "Hmph, that's more like it."

"Xiaoyu, stop doing unnecessary things. You should understand my situation. Even if the Guo and Qin Families form a marriage alliance now, the bride can only be your elder sister, Guo Min."

"Don't worry. Once I've completely taken control of the Qin Family, once I'm powerful enough, I'll give you a grand century wedding. I'll make every woman envy you and turn you into the happiest woman in the world."

Thinking of her impulsive personality, Qin Yu couldn't help reassuring her again.

Actually, on closer consideration, the current situation wasn't bad at all.

Just as Xiaoyu had said, Su Qiao had broken one of her legs and would only be able to sit in a wheelchair in the future. Even if she really discovered something later, there would be nothing she could do.

After they got married, the Su Family's company would fall into his hands. By then, she would have no choice but to rely on him.

As for the child, he could simply have Su Qiao pretend to be pregnant when the time came. After all, she couldn't walk.

Once Xiaoyu gave birth, they could bring the child back. Nothing would be a problem.

Guo Xiaoyu could no longer hold back her blissful smile, and her voice carried a hint of coquettishness. "Got it. I won't do anything else."

Her goal hadn't been to kill that woman, either.

Even though she really wanted to kill her.

"All right, I'm at the hospital. This isn't the place to talk. We'll discuss it later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Guo Xiaoyu smiled happily and smugly.

Qin Yu turned and glanced at the empty corridor. For some reason, he had a feeling that someone was watching him.

After pausing for a moment, he hung up and walked toward the ward.

When he entered the ward and saw that Su Qiao was asleep, he thought it over, left a note, and departed.

In the stairwell, whose door had already closed, Lin Shen watched the CEO with his head lowered in thought. He didn't dare speak, but his mind was already in turmoil.

Damn, he never would have thought Qin Yu was such a bastard.

And the person on the other end of the call should have been Guo Xiaoyu, the Guo Family's unwanted stepdaughter, right?

So those two were actually in that kind of relationship?

How had he never noticed before?

He had known there was something strange about Miss Su's car accident today. So it had been premeditated after all.

He wondered whether Su Qiao knew the true face of her fiancé.

Lin Shen remained skeptical about that.

Not for any other reason than the fact that Qin Yu was far too good at acting.

In all of B City—even the entire country—who among those who enjoyed gossip didn't know that the Qin Family's Second Young Master was handsome, rich, gentle, refined, and devoted, and never carried on with other women?

To put it somewhat exaggeratedly, if Su Qiao weren't so introverted and low-key,

if people knew that she was the only woman the Qin Family's Second Young Master loved, someone might even splash sulfuric acid on her in the street.

Because she was simply too enviable, jealous-making, and infuriating.

"Find him something to do."

Qin Mohan's voice was calm, yet for no apparent reason, it gave people the feeling that he was gritting his teeth in fury.

"Huh?"

Lin Shen was still immersed in his own thoughts and hadn't come back to himself. When he suddenly heard Qin Mohan's words, he failed to react for a moment.

"I don't want to see that brat these next few days."

With that, Qin Mohan snatched the documents from his hands, turned around, and left.
