Ye Qiu slaps Mrs. Zhang and rejects her advances, humiliating her. Enraged, Mrs. Zhang vows revenge. Ye Qiu, tired of the Zhang family's arrogance, decides to take down Zhang Xianwei. With the help of Cheng Ruiting, Ye Qiu orchestrates a plan involving a woman named Ding Shanshan to ensnare Zhang Xianwei, knowing his upcoming arranged marriage to the spoiled Du Jiao. Ding Shanshan encounters Zhang Xianwei and gains his attention, leading him to take her to his villa, thus setting up his downfall.

Ye Qiu sent Ding Shanshan to test Zhang Xianwei, intending it as a trial, but unexpectedly, it succeeded. Ding Shanshan can act, and according to her, Zhang Xianwei really believed she admired him. He even warned her not to have any excessive thoughts because she wasn’t worthy.

However, while saying she wasn’t worthy, he still wanted Ding Shanshan to be his secret lover and forbade her to tell anyone about their relationship.

Ye Qiu asked Ding Shanshan if she wanted to withdraw, but Ding Shanshan refused in the end because this was exactly the outcome she wanted. She knew that her secret with Zhang Xianwei would eventually be exposed, so she just wanted to take advantage of this time to get more money from Zhang Xianwei.

Not only Zhang Xianwei, but she also cleverly blackmailed Mrs. Zhang, who had no choice but to give in. If Du Jiao found out about this, it would be a disaster.

Mrs. Zhang had asked her son, Zhang Xianwei, to drive Ding Shanshan away. However, who could resist Ding Shanshan’s acting skills? She pretended to be pitiful, which instead made Mrs. Zhang look like a domineering and unreasonable bully, almost causing a rift between mother and son.

Ye Qiu felt secretly pleased upon hearing this. In the past life, these two frequently tormented her original self, flaunting their noble status to belittle her. Even after Zhang Xianwei realized he loved her original self, he still couldn’t lower himself and let his mother humiliate her.

Ye Qiu didn’t quite understand why her original self kept forgiving Zhang Xianwei, but in this life, just Zhang Xianwei’s prior actions were enough for her to start her revenge.

She wasn’t a kind person, nor did she have much love inside her. She only reciprocated kindness to those who were good to her and couldn’t accept a masochistic kind of love.

Now that Ding Shanshan had successfully infiltrated, it was only a matter of time before Du Jiao found out.

Ye Qiu returned to Luocheng to continue her career and love life.

Cheng Ruiting was indeed a perfect man. If there was anything to say about his shortcomings, it was that after confirming their relationship, his possessiveness towards Ye Qiu was extremely strong.

His possessiveness was different from Zhang Xianwei’s. Zhang Xianwei’s kind of possessiveness wished for her to only listen to him and have no contact with the outside world, even wanting her to comply with how he wanted her hair to grow.

But Cheng Ruiting’s possessiveness showed in his reliance on Ye Qiu. Since the day Ye Qiu said what she did at the school gate, he had considered himself Ye Qiu’s boyfriend. He even convinced Ye Qiu’s mom to let Ye Qiu move in and live with him, as if fearing she wouldn’t acknowledge his identity. He insisted she accompany him to any significant events.

Not only that, but even though he didn’t restrict Ye Qiu’s whereabouts or actions, he would come looking for her whenever he had free time. Even when Ye Qiu went to inspect new stores, he would follow, and when they were alone, he acted like a child, wanting kisses and hugs. If Ye Qiu’s expression slightly changed, he would immediately back off, trying every way to amuse her, leaving her with no options.

When Ye Qiu was coaxed into a dreamy state by this man, she sometimes wondered, was her current boyfriend really the absolutely perfect male character from a previous life, who was loyal to her original self and silently waited? How come she felt his personality was different?

If following his previous life’s character, even if they confirmed their relationship in this life, he would have acted with propriety and only proceeded with actions after marriage.

But seeing the man clinging to her, Ye Qiu fell silent.

She soon smiled softly because she knew this was different. She didn’t know what kind of feelings Cheng Ruiting had for her original self in the previous life, but in this life, he loved her.

For someone without memories, when Ye Qiu traversed worlds to do tasks, she wouldn’t easily create emotions with others unless necessary. However, in this life, she found she couldn’t refuse Cheng Ruiting, not because the task said to get Cheng Ruiting and his beloved together, but because Cheng Ruiting was really wonderful, and she didn’t want to miss out.

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Ruiting asked softly by Ye Qiu’s ear, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, and leaning his head on her shoulder, his breath directly warming Ye Qiu’s neck.

When he first made such a move, Ye Qiu was uncomfortable, but as it happened more often, she got used to it, even starting to enjoy it.

"I was thinking about why you would like me," Ye Qiu spoke straightforwardly. "Have you never thought I was unworthy of you?"

"Why would you think that? You’re wonderful."

"You’re the CEO of Cheng, and I’m just a small businesswoman who started from a night market. To others, you’re perfect, and as for me, I used to be so disreputable."

"If you keep talking like that, I’ll get upset," Cheng Ruiting gently pinched her waist, making Ye Qiu feel uneasy all over. "How can emotions be so predictable? Do you think our feelings are that fragile?"

"Not exactly, it’s just such a huge difference, it feels a bit unreal."

"Then why not try to make it real?"

Ye Qiu was taken aback and turned around to see Cheng Ruiting’s intense gaze. She smiled wryly. Having experienced so many lifetimes, how did she suddenly become childish?

Life is short, who knows what tomorrow will bring? Since they’re in love now, they should be together well. Why overthink it? If one day the love fades, with her and Cheng Ruiting’s rationality, wouldn’t they handle it well?

Because this time it was Ye Qiu who took the initiative, everything flowed naturally. Cheng Ruiting was so excited that he finally used what he had been preparing for a long time.

With no more obstacles in their hearts, they seamlessly transitioned from engagement to marriage, becoming the envy of everyone.

Ye Youhuan watched her mom and Uncle Cheng walk towards the red carpet hand in hand, feeling a mix of emotions. Even though she knew it was the best choice for her mom and Uncle Cheng to get married, she still felt a bit of sadness when she knew her dad was officially out of the picture. After all, every child wishes for their biological mom and dad to be together.

However, this sense of loss was completely gone after she heard her biological dad kept another woman and was discovered by his fiancée, especially knowing that woman resembled her mom from the previous life. It disgusted her even more.

She now genuinely doubted whether her dad ever truly liked her mom in the last life, or if he just liked this kind of game of maintaining a mistress and abuse, enjoying the feeling of high control over others’ lives.

So seeing her dad’s fate in this life, Ye Youhuan felt no sympathy at all. Instead, she felt it was well-deserved.

Recently, people in Ming City witnessed a high-society scandal involving the love life of the once most prominent Ming City Crown Prince. It was said Miss Du caught an affair on the spot, and the distinguished Zhang Family CEO Zhang Xianwei confronted her half-dressed, creating a very unpleasant scene. As a result, the Du Family’s investment was paused, and the Zhang Group plunged into chaos again.

In the end, Mrs. Zhang had to personally intervene to ensure the marriage alliance wasn’t canceled.
