The gloomy and oppressive sky is drizzling with rain.

Bai Xiaoqi leaves the cemetery, hailing a taxi to head home.

The past two days have been spent taking care of her grandfather's funeral. Her husband, Gu Yuqi, has been so busy that he hasn't been able to rest properly. She suggested he go home first.

Bai Xiaoqi is preparing to quietly enter through the main door. Just as she reaches the entrance, an unusual noise from inside the house startles her.

"Darling, when will you get a divorce?"

"Soon. Now that the old man of the Bai family is out of the picture, Bai Xiaoqi is no longer a threat. Once I completely take over the Bai Corporation…"

"But I'm pregnant now, and you still haven't given me an official title. Ugh… stop teasing me…"

Bai Xiaoqi's hand on the door handle begins to tremble uncontrollably. She takes a deep breath, suspecting that what she heard might just be her imagination.

But the unusual sweet voices of the man and woman continue to ring in her ears. She cautiously pushes the door open. What she sees in the living room is like a punch to her eyes: clothes strewn everywhere, a man and woman entwined on the sofa in a nauseating pose.

"Ah...someone...uh..." A naked woman spots Bai Xiaoqi, a smug look in her eyes, yet she pretends to be scared and huddles closer to Gu Yuqi.

Gu Yuqi turns around, his eyes flit around nervously. However, in mere moments, he brazenly admits:

"Since you've already seen and heard everything, there's no point in hiding it. The only reason I married you in the first place was for the Bai family. Now that I own half of the Bai Corporation's shares, if you remain Mrs. Gu obediently, you will live without worries. But if you let today's events slip, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Gu Yuqi… You!!!" Bai Xiaoqi's eyes fill with despair. So this man, this wolf in sheep's clothing, admits it just like that!

So from the beginning, he only married her for the Bai family! And to get to the Bai family, he even went as far as to harm her trusting grandfather who had always favored him!

No wonder after being married for several years, he always found excuses not to share the same bed. It turned out it was all for his Liu Yazhi, the mole at the bottom of his heart!

And she, the original rightful wife, had completely become mosquito blood.

Bai Xiaoqi bit her lip tightly, but still could not restrain herself from trembling. How terrifying is human nature, really?

Looking at the loving couple in front of her, thinking of her deceased grandfather, and her foolishness over the years, the sadness and pain in her eyes gradually turned into hatred. She forced out a resounding declaration through gritted teeth:

"Gu Yuqi, from now on, we're severed completely, I will take back the Bai Corporation! The grudge of my grandfather! I will avenge it! One day, you will regret your actions!"

Every word was drenched in blood!

Although Bai Xiaoqi, who was on the verge of collapse, looked like she would faint at any second, she somehow mustered a chilling aura.

She fiercely glared at the two, then turned and walked away.

Gu Yuqi was astoundingly shocked, feeling that the shadow that had just left was incredibly strange.

In his memory, she loved him so much. How could she want to sever their relationship? How could she leave him so easily?

And Liu Yazhi, worried, looked at Gu Yuqi: "Yuqi, now that she knows everything, will it be detrimental to us? What if she tells the shareholders of the company?"

"What's there to fear, she has no evidence, and furthermore, I will not let her leave so easily..." Gu Yuqi's eyes flashed a deep, menacing look.

On the other side, Bai Xiaoqi stumbled and ran out.

Having not slept well all night combined with immense sorrow and shock, made her momentarily see black before her eyes.

Bai Xiaoqi didn't know how long she ran, until finally her legs gave out from under her and she collapsed on the ground, her consciousness slowly drifting away.

The ear-piercing screech of braking tires cut through the sky as a limited edition, silver-gray Aston Martin came to a stop.

Stepping out was a man, tall and dapper in a tailor-made suit. His delicate and finely chiseled face was akin to a work of art, the handsome lines striking enough to take one's breath away.

His effortlessly good-looking face remained calm and emotionless, only betraying a flicker of heartache as he lifted Bai Xiaoqi.

His gaze fell on her swollen cheek, their icy glare apparent in his stellar eyes.

His obsidian-like eyes, sparkling brilliantly, a different emotional flickered momentarily before being concealed by him.

...

Bai Xiaoqi furrowed her brows in discomfort, her eyes barely open as she looked blankly at the white ceiling.

"Are you awake?"

Her heart jumped at the deep and alluring male voice, pleasing yet unfamiliar.

She scrambled backwards nervously, clutching the blanket around her.

Her anxious eyes rapidly scanned the man opposite her, meeting the frosty gaze from his eyes and resulting in an involuntary shiver.

Her instinct told her that he was a very dangerous man.

Still puzzled, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Were you the one who saved me?"

Upon hearing her slightly hoarse words, his originally placid facial expression showed a hint of coldness, his stare piercingly icy.

He had been about to pass a cup of warm water held carefully in his well-defined hand. However, because of her unfamiliar and cold question, he paused, pulling back his hand, tilting his head back and casually drinking the water himself.

She had completely forgotten him!

A shadow of melancholy streaked across the man's eyes, unnoticed by anyone. However, it quickly transformed into an aloof and superior demeanor, his voice exceptionally icy:

"I am merely a businessman."

The slight furrow in Bai Xiaoqi's brows relaxed, thinking about it, who in this world wouldn't take advantage of her given that her own husband would?

Thinking about Gu Yuqi's mercilessness, and her own predicament just before passing out, a sense of desolation, tinged with bitterness, scraped against her heart. She subjugated it forcefully, asking with a forced tranquility:

"Why did you save me then? I possess nothing that you might need, neither do I have the asset to be in business with you."

"Bai Xiaoqi, the favorite child of the Bai family, well-rounded since a tender age, with good looks and a charming personality. Though a little slow when it comes to sensing her husband's infidelity.

I, Lu Jingchen, happen to need a wife like you. On one hand, you can help me seal the lips of people in the Lu family, on the other hand, you are unlikely to cause me any trouble or entanglement.

Of course, you also need my help for your revenge."

Lu Jingchen nonchalantly put forward his thoughts, his baritone voice, as always, was coldly charming. Despite addressing such a crucial matter, his tone was as relaxed as one speaking about a meal.

There was a tight grip in Bai Xiaoqi’s hands. This man had investigated her thoroughly, and his words, they felt like a stab at her heart.

But truth be told, he was stating the facts...

Bai Xiaoqi retorted with a scoff, "Even if I desire revenge, why would you think, I would marry a stranger? Why should I believe that you can help me?"

Simply because of his handsome face and impressive air?

"Woman, you will agree."

The man's face was a picture of cold conviction, his stargazing eyes icy and piercing, just like a master strategist. He then handed over a business card.

Upon receiving the card, Bai Xiaoqi took a look. With a simple white front, a frame of pale gold exuded class. Right in the center, etched in pure gold lettering, it read...
