In his heart, Sister-in-law is more important. I'm just a plaything that can be tossed aside at any moment.

All sorts of thoughts appeared in her mind for no reason, and she couldn't dispel them. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew she was jealous. She was jealous of the very sister-in-law she had pushed into a fiery pit.

Watching Li Wenwen return, Sun Dasheng asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"

Li Wenwen stared at him for several seconds without speaking. Then she suddenly jumped on him, hanging from his neck like a sloth. Her lips pressed against his, her actions wild and passionate. She was like a completely different person.

As she kissed him fervently, Sun Dasheng wondered, Has this girl been possessed? How can someone go out, come back in, and be so utterly transformed? A woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea; the ancestors really weren't lying.

Not only was Sun Dasheng confused, but even Li Wenwen, in her frenzied state, didn't understand her own behavior. It's like a wave of emotion washed over me, possessing me, driving me mad.

"Enough. Your sister-in-law is calling for me. We're stopping here," Sun Dasheng said, forcibly separating her. He left a dejected Li Wenwen standing there, motionless.

「In the room.」

Lying in bed, her ample chest partially exposed, Xie Moyao asked, "What took you so long to get water?"

Sun Dasheng smiled as he handed her the water. "I was worried the hotel's water wasn't clean, so I went downstairs to buy a fresh bottle."

"Thank you!" A blush rose on Xie Moyao's face.

After drinking the water, Xie Moyao seemed to remember something.

"Where's Wen Wen?" she asked.

Although she was annoyed at her sister-in-law's scheming, it had unintentionally worked in her favor. The intention was wrong, but the result was right. Without her sister-in-law's plotting, she probably would have never crossed paths with this man again. After the first time, she had sworn to herself that it would be the last. Who could have thought that events wouldn't unfold according to her will? In the end, she still couldn't escape this man, who was like the Buddha's inescapable Five-Fingered Mountain.

"Why are you asking about her?" Sun Dasheng didn't understand. After so many betrayals, shouldn't she hate her? Why does it seem like she still cares about her sister-in-law?

"You orchestrated these last two incidents, didn't you? She isn't clever enough to have done it on her own," Xie Moyao stated with certainty.

Feeling exposed, Sun Dasheng scratched his head. "Heh, is that so? You're overthinking things."

"Hmph! The wolf in sheep's clothing is finally showing his fox's tail, huh?"

"Heh heh..."

"I'm not trying to settle scores, so what are you hiding from?" Xie Moyao shot him a sideways glance. "If I wanted to expose you, I would've done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?"

Hearing this, Sun Dasheng understood. He smiled, sat beside her, and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, proactively admitting his fault. "You're right, I was the one behind it. Don't blame her. It's your own fault for being too divine, like a snow lotus on a mountain peak. After one taste, nothing else interests me. You can only blame your own devastating beauty."

"Pah! You lecher, how many women have you said that to?" Xie Moyao feigned disdain, but inwardly, her heart was blooming with joy.

Of course, she was thrilled to be complimented by the man she liked. But she couldn't let him see it, otherwise who knew how smug he would get.

Sun Dasheng raised his hand as if taking an oath. "I've only ever said that to you, Xie Moyao. If I'm lying, may I never make another fortune in my life."

I'm not fated to make a fortune anyway. But I have the system, and it gives me money directly. That doesn't count.

Xie Moyao was deeply moved. To her, a man swearing an oath on his wealth was the most sincere pledge possible. Money is the foundation for a man to establish himself in society, just as age and appearance are for a woman. Few women would dare make a solemn vow on their age or looks. They usually only swear on things they don't really care about, like their 'chastity,' 'family,' or 'household registration'.

"Don't say any more. I believe you," Xie Moyao said, snuggling against his chest and placing a hand on his lips to stop him from continuing his oath.

"So where is Wen Wen? She brings me here and then just vanishes?" Xie Moyao asked, mentioning her sister-in-law again.

Talk about someone, and they're bound to appear. Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

DING DONG!

The doorbell rang, followed immediately by Li Wenwen's distinctive voice.

"Sister-in-law, the hotel staff said you got a room here. Are you in there?"

This is bad, this is bad. Xie Moyao felt as if she were being caught having an affair, even though Li Wenwen was the one who brought her here. Everyone knew perfectly well what was supposed to happen next. But it was a tacit understanding that couldn't be spoken aloud. If that unspoken agreement were broken and everything was dragged out into the open, it would be nothing short of awkwardness and social suicide.

"What's the rush?" Sun Dasheng soothed, stroking her back as he calmly helped her get dressed. He had no idea what that little troublemaker outside was up to, but he knew she wouldn't dare to just barge in.

Playing these childish games is actually pretty amusing. Could it be... A sudden possibility occurred to him, but he immediately shook his head. No way, it can't be.

Once she was dressed, Xie Moyao simply stared at Sun Dasheng.

"What are you looking at me for? Go open the door. You heard her calling for you, didn't you?" Sun Dasheng said, exasperated.

"Um..." Xie Moyao pointed to the bed, embarrassed. "Can you... hide in there for a minute?"

Isn't this just burying her head in the sand? he thought. But seeing her stubborn expression, he relented. "Fine. I'll get in bed and keep my mouth shut. Alright?"

Once he was completely hidden under the covers, Xie Moyao smoothed her clothes, composed herself, and walked unhurriedly to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Li Wenwen managed to squeeze out a smile.

Xie Moyao's brow furrowed. "Wen Wen, what happened to you? Why are your clothes all torn?"

She pulled Li Wenwen inside and shut the door, turning her sister-in-law around for a better look. The outfit was the same one from before, only now it looked battle-damaged. Where has she been and what was she doing? she wondered.

Facing her sister-in-law's questioning gaze, Li Wenwen grew flustered. She didn't know what had possessed her to ring the doorbell and ruin her sister-in-law's good time. She certainly hadn't expected her own clothes to become an issue.

"Sister-in-law, um... I fell down outside," Li Wenwen said, an awkward smile on her face.

"Really?" A large question mark formed in Xie Moyao's mind. I don't believe that for a second. Who falls in a way that shreds their clothes like this? It looks more like someone tore them. There are frayed edges and holes everywhere. It almost looks like one of those alternative fashion outfits you see sold online. But this is definitely the outfit she was wearing earlier, and it was perfectly fine when she left.

"Oh, never mind that, Sister-in-law," Li Wenwen said, quickly changing the subject. "I only stepped out for a bit. How was your dinner with President Sun? Did he pay, or did you? If you paid, I'll pay you back."

Xie Moyao was not pleased. "What are you talking about, Wen Wen? Even if I did pay, can't I treat my sister-in-law to a meal? If I took money from you, your parents would say I have no manners when they found out."

Li Wenwen immediately flashed a placating smile. "I'm sorry, Sister-in-law, it's my fault. I just didn't want you to spend your own money. That big spender President Sun should have paid. It serves him right... hmph!"

Listening to her sister-in-law's obvious resentment, she felt a mix of bewilderment and understanding. That scoundrel probably used her to lure me out. Was she unwilling to do it? Did I misjudge her?

The moment the thought appeared, Xie Moyao crushed it. Impossible. Maybe the first time, but this is the second. If she were truly unwilling, she wouldn't have cooperated a second time. I'm still too kind-hearted, always thinking the best of people. I can't be like this anymore, she silently admonished herself.

"Sister-in-law, where's President Sun? Did he leave right after dinner?" Li Wenwen asked, pretending to scan the suite as she walked briskly toward the bedroom, almost as if she knew someone was in there.

"Wen Wen, wait! Where are you going?" Xie Moyao's heart leaped into her throat as she tried to stop her.

Li Wenwen, however, just smiled innocently. "It's too late to go home. I think I'll just stay the night with you, Sister-in-law."
