"I mean what I said - if you're willing to settle this amicably and give me half of your shares, I will definitely go ahead with the divorce in a heartbeat. If you want to ruin my image, suit yourself. You could even tell everyone about me cheating on you. Meanwhile, I will not publicize your doing, and both you and the Qi family get to keep your image and reputation," Jian Yi said.

"At the end of the day, it is still about money. Jian Yi, in your eyes, isn't there anything more important than money? I'm telling you I have never done anything to betray you - since I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid of your threats. Use whatever evidence you have, but you will never get a single cent from the Qi family!" Qi Chengyue said angrily.

"These are your own words. Don't blame me in the future," Jian Yi said coldly.

Qi Chengyue hung up without replying to him.

She stood outside for a little while before she got herself together and walked back.

Jian Yi gripped his phone tightly, and walked back to his hotel room with a dark expression.

Once he walked in, a woman lifted the bedsheets and showed her naked body in its entirety.

She kneeled on the bed and leaned towards Jian Yi as he walked over and said, "What took you so long?"

Her lips moved forward as she spoke.

Jian Yi tilted his head, and her lips fell on his cheek instead.

He pulled out a few red notes from his wallet and threw it at her without counting them, saying, "I'm going to shower. When I come out of the shower, I don't want to see you again."

The woman froze and seemed a little defeated. But after counting the cash, she went back to having a flirty smile on her face, waved the red noted in Jian Yi's direction, and said, "Call me for any future opportunities, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeves!"

Jian Yi gave her a cold stare, and turned around to walk into the shower.

…

…

The party was over, and Mu Huaisheng and Mu Sisi came over to say their goodbyes before leaving the venue.

Song Yu realized something was off with Mu Sisi's mood - not only was she extremely friendly with Qi Chengzhi, she also seemed a little on the offense. There seemed to be a weird vibe surrounding Mu Sisi, and she could not point out what it was.

After reaching home, Aunty Yong had already filled up the bathtub for her. Song Yu sat in the tub, leaned her head backward to relax - and "Kacha!", there was a sudden noise from a door being opened.

She opened her eyes lazily and saw a fully-clothed Qi Chengzhi walking in. She did not think too much of it.

But once he shut the door, he started stripping himself - Song Yu asked in an alert tone, "What are you doing?"

"I want to use the bathtub as well," Qi Chengzhi said calmly.

"There are tons of bathtubs in the house, if you wanted to use one you could just ask Aunty Yong to prepare one for you!" Song Yu gulped nervously.

"There's no need for that, isn't there a readied one right here?" Qi Chengzhi said as his long leg stepped into the tub.

"Don't come in, aiya, look, the water is flowing out because of you." The water started pouring out of the tub as Qi Chengzhi sat down.

"I just want to come in and help clean you up." Qi Chengzhi remained serious.

Song Yu did not buy that and tried to say no to him. But Qi Chengzhi had already put some body wash on his hand and started rubbing it on Song Yu; he was quick. Song Yu could not run away from it - instead, it felt as if he had extra arms which were all over her at the same time. The more he rubbed the soap over her body, the weaker she was.

"Qi Chengzhi, you're so annoying, I just want to take a bath and you had to ruin it!" Song Yu ran out of strength to push him away - he was all over her soft body.

His long legs were rested next to her arms, and his hands felt her all the way there, saying, "Yes I'm here to ruin it, but there's no chaos."

Song Yu struggled but her body was trapped by him. There was no point in fighting it - she said annoyingly, "You're always like this, and now you can't even go in - it's not making me feel better either. You're so annoying!"

Qi Chengzhi drained the tub and dried her with a towel while saying, "So many women are into me but you're here complaining about me."

Song Yu stopped moving and let him dry her. She did not argue either - she just watched his handsome face. The more she watched, the faster her heart raced.

His sharp features did not shield how handsome he was. Those features could really attract young girls to jump on him.

Although he was already 35 years old, he could still attract girls in their 20s. Some of them were even younger than her by a few years - she started feeling defeated as she was deep in her thoughts.

Song Yu suddenly collapsed into Qi Chengzhi's embrace, and her arms were around him. Her face was against his ripped yet smooth chest, as she sniffed his natural scent - a scent that could not be overpowered by the body wash he used.

"I'm only this confident because you only like me!" She said in a soft voice, "A man this attractive to women only looks at me and likes me."

Qi Chengzhi looked down at her quiet face and felt she had been getting pretty good at handling him. He started doubting if she was playing him.

"So do you still have complaints about me?" He lowered his head and moved his lips near hers.

As that handsome face came close, Song Yu could not help but blush even though she saw him day and night. Her heart raced and she said softly, "No I'm not complaining. I can't like you enough."

Tons of women liked him but could never get close. He ignored them and was loyal to her - she felt proud.

Qi Chengzhi's eyes brightened and kissed her pink lips. He held her close and sucked on her lips greedily.

He carried Song Yu out of the shower and laid her on the bed. He traced his lips down her body and gripped on her lower abdomen all of a sudden.

"Chengzhi…" She clenched on his hair and tried to pull him back.

"Stop bothering, I'm kissing my child," Qi Chengzhi spoke against her privates.

"..." Song Yu was speechless.

Qi Chengzhi continued attempting to reach his child by giving excuses such as wanting to talk to the baby and wanting to be connected to it. Song Yu was left flushed and speechless.

He finally grabbed her hand to get himself off, and held her tight while laying on her body - but he was cautious not to put pressure on her stomach. He pulled out the drawer of the dresser and grabbed a pen before circling today's date on the calendar left on top of the dresser.

"What are you doing?" Song Yu asked curiously.

"I'm counting down the days I can finally put it in," he said, as his hand moved down her body and rested there.

"..." Song Yu's face was burning from what he said. She could see his sly face as she looked up.

Although he did not smile at all, but he had that cunning look in his eyes - she looked down and leaned into his arms silently. She was super blushed.

Her shy look made Qi Chengzhi laugh. He kissed her forehead, shut his eyes, and hugged her to sleep. To be able to hug her and have her be his wife was a blessing in itself.

He could not fall asleep with the thoughts in his head. He kept looking down to kiss her and making her heart race - she really wanted it, but she had to hold herself back.

After some time, he put his warm palm on her stomach - she heard him say in his smooth voice, "Regardless of it being a boy or girl, it is torturing me."

She could feel that he wanted it too, and she knew it had been hard for him.

"My stomach will inflate after three months, my body will look different by then. Would you still be this excited?" Song Yu sounded a little down.

She was not sure if she had depression during her pregnancy - as she imagined herself with a big belly, the thickening of her waist and arms, and her body looking out of shape as a group of young women continue to prey on her husband, she did not have a good feeling about it.

"No worries, I could just look at your face." Qi Chengzhi laughed as he kissed her cheeks.

An annoyed Song Yu kicked him in his calf and said, "I'm serious!"

"If I told you I will always like you no matter how you look, will you believe me?" He lifted his eyebrows and joked.

"..." Song Yu did not buy it.

He hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, I like you no matter how you look, it's the truth. If you're still worried, I could get fat with you."

Song Yu could not hold back her laughter imagining him being fat. "Forget it, I still want an eye candy."

"Even you judge a book by its cover." Qi Chengzhi lifted his brows.

"..." Song Yu was speechless.

…

…

The next day, Song Yu came to the office and couldn't help but told Ruan Danchen about Mu Sisi.

Ruan Danchen chewed on a long chewing gum, gave it a little tug and tore the gum while saying, "Why are girls so open these days? There are so many men in the world and yet they have to hold onto Qi Chengzhi?"

"I think she's more troublesome than Yu Keyao." Song Yu drank a gulp of water and continued, "Chengzhi will not be wary of the Yu family, but Mu Sisi is his best friend's sister. He could not fight with his best friend over this, could he?"

"Then her brother should look after her!" Ruan Danchen chewed on the gum. "His sister is destroying his best friend's family!"

"I think both of you should have the wedding as soon as possible - at least it's an announcement to the whole world that he is a taken man. Let those girls be wary of that fact even if they are clingy, don't let them do whatever they want in public. You only have the marriage certificate now, not many people know you are already husband and wife," Ruan Danchen said.

"It's already scheduled for next month. I can't push it forward anymore, the invitations are almost ready to be sent out," Song Yu said.

"Perfect, next month I will see how that girl looks like at the wedding," Ruan Danchen shoved the last bit of gum into her mouth.

At noon, Song Yu walked out of Cheng Shi and saw Chang Lai standing in front of the car. She walked over and asked, "Is Chengzhi busy this afternoon?"

"Master Cheng has been in meetings, and I don't know when it will end," Chang Lai answered as he opened the car door for Song Yu.

Song Yu did not expect to be dropped at Wang Chao instead of Qi Lin.

"Master Cheng wanted you to eat here," Chang Lai explained.

Song Yu looked at him suspiciously, ordered some dishes, but told the waiter, "All of these are to be taken away."

"Madam?" Chang Lai exclaimed.

"He's still having meetings in the office, who knows if he will eat properly. He could just eat some snacks and continue working after his meetings. I'll bring these and wait for him at the office," Song Yu said as she whipped out her phone. She wanted to send him a text, but stopped herself after thinking about how busy he is.

"Master Cheng does not want you to starve," Chang Lai said quickly.

"I didn't say I'll be starving myself while waiting for him. I'll eat at the office while waiting for him - I'm just leaving some leftovers for him." Song Yu turned around and looked at Chang Lai suspiciously. "Are you hiding something from me? Is Qi Chengzhi doing something wrong?"

"Of course not, Master Cheng is really having meetings," Chang Lai shook his head quickly. He felt like the longer Song Yu was with Qi Chengzhi, the harder it was to handle her.

Song Yu looked at him in silence. After the waiter finished packing the dishes in exquisite takeaway boxes and put them into a bag with Wang Chao's logo, Chang Lai grabbed it and followed Song Yu into the car. He tried his best to find a chance to call Qi Chengzhi but to no avail.

Chang Lai parked the car in front of Qi Lin's entrance and got out to follow Song Yu with her takeaway dishes. Song Yu asked, "Are you following me inside? You never followed me in."

"Haha, I'm just holding the takeaways for you," Chang Lai forcefully laughed.

Mu Sisi wanted to have lunch with Qi Chengzhi but was stopped at the reception. She was told Qi Chengzhi was having meetings and no one knew when they will end. Moreover, she did not have an appointment - she could not go up directly.

Regardless of it being Qi Chengzhi's excuse or not, she was not dumb enough to go up herself. If she called Qi Chengzhi and the answer was the same, then she would be the one embarrassed.

As she was deciding between waiting or leaving, she saw Song Yu walking in - and there was a man behind her carrying takeaway from Wang Chao.

Song Yu walked ahead and no one attempted to stop her. Qi Lin employees saw her and greeted, "Madam."

Mu Sisi was raging with jealousy.

"Song Yu!" Song Yu heard someone calling her, and Qi Lin employees looked in the direction of the voice.

Song Yu stopped and turned around to find a woman walking towards her. It was Mu Sisi - Song Yu had a headache all of a sudden.

"Miss Mu." Song Yu briefly greeted as Mu Sisi approached her.

"Are you here for Brother Chengzhi?" Mu Sisi asked as she glanced over at the bag in Chang Lai's hand. "Here for lunch with him?"

Song Yu understood why Chang Lai had been acting abnormally on the way here.

Chang Lai probably saw Mu Sisi before he even left Qi Lin - Qi Chengzhi probably knew it too. That was why they did not want her to come to the office and bump into Mu Sisi.

Song Yu nodded in silence.

"I came to have lunch with Brother Chengzhi too, but I heard he's in a meeting," Mu Sisi said.

Song Yu nodded and said, "That's right, how about Miss Mu come again on another day - or book an appointment ahead of time. See you again."

Song Yu was about to turn around and walk away when Mu Sisi called, "Since you're here to eat with Brother Chengzhi, you don't mind if I join, do you? Bring me along, I'm already here anyway."

Song Yu looked at Mu Sisi in silence, and Mu Sisi got a little impatient and frowned. Song Yu then said, "Miss Mu, you like Chengzhi, don't you?"

Mu Sisi seemed a little taken aback, but decided not to show weakness in front of Song Yu.

She nodded generously and said, "That's right, I do like him, and I have had feelings for him since the first time I saw him - it has been 10 years."

She proudly lifted her chin and did not feel sorry for saying what she said to Song Yu, who was Qi Chengzhi's wife.

Song Yu did not seem angry, and her face remained calm. "So you know he is already married to me."

"Of course I do. But even if he's married, he can't stop me from having feelings for him! Even you can't do that. You can marry him, but you have no control over my heart," Mu Sisi said without shame.

Her voice was not considered loud, but she did not try to lower it either. Her voice rang around Qi Lin's hall loud and clear.

At this moment, Qi Lin's employees who were in the hall were shocked at Mu Sisi's speech. It was extremely unusual for a woman like this to wage war on the significant other of a man.

Although they were not part of the conversation, they were angry on the sidelines - they really wanted to chase Mu Sisi out.

What a shameless person!

Especially the female employees - they could relate to the situation. They felt Mu Sisi was despicable!

Forcing yourself into someone else's relationship would lead to karma!

Everyone was waiting for Song Yu's answer. Song Yu pursed her lips and said, "Since you already admitted it, as his wife, we are now rivals. Why would I let a rival like you to follow me upstairs and seduce my husband in front of me - on top of buying lunch for you? I'm not retarded or looking for trouble myself."

Song Yu's speech silenced Mu Sisi. She was shocked - she did not expect Song Yu to have such a reaction.

If it was someone else, there would not be such a calm response!

Song Yu turned around and grabbed the takeaway bag from a shocked Chang Lai and told him, "Chang Lai, call the security and get Miss Mu out of here. I'm going upstairs."

Song Yu held the takeaway and turned around in a cool manner to walk to Qi Chengzhi's private lift.

Mu Sisi did not expect Song Yu to act so rudely and say all of those things in front of her.

Other employees watched on and wanted to applaud. There were already people giving Song Yu thumbs up and said, "Well done!"

"What a dominant!"

"A CEO's wife indeed!"

Mu Sisi was going to explode while listening to those voices. Chang Lai shouted at the security, "Little Zhang, Little Liang, come quickly, the CEO's wife wants you all to escort this lady out!"

"You!" Mu Sisi's eyes widened while looking at Chang Lai.

Chang Lai laughed and said, "Miss Mu, sorry, the CEO's not in, our CEO's wife is now the commander-in-chief. We are only following orders."

Mu Sisi scoffed with a twisted expression. Of course, she could not wait for the guards to chase her away. She turned around and stomped out.

…

…

Song Yu took the lift to the top floor and realized Cheng Dongge was not in his seat either. Someone in the secretary's room saw Song Yu and came out to greet her, "Madam."
