"It's all my fault, Jiang Jiang. You can't be hurt or sad. If you get hurt or sad because of me, I'll be a sinner. Jiang Jiang, please tell me, I beg you."
Jiang Cuo remained silent for a long while, but did not push away Su Qianqian, who was sticking to him wetly, and endured the wet feeling.
Jiang Cuo: "Let go of me and I'll tell you."
Seeing that Jiang Cuo had given in, Su Qianqian quickly jumped off Jiang Cuo.
Jiang Cuo took out his phone from his pocket, opened the page, zoomed in on a photo, and placed it in front of Su Qianqian.
"Didn't you promise me you'd never see Su Lian again?"
Su Qianqian squinted at the photos on Jiang Cuo's phone.
Wasn't this the one Su Lian begged her to film tonight? She said it was to prevent Su Jianxiu from doing so.
Good heavens, I never expected to shoot myself in the foot, and Su Lian tricked me again.
Su Qianqian knew that Su Lian loved to cause trouble, and Jiang Cuo didn't like Su Lian, but to her, Su Lian was, after all, the original owner's half-sister, and even more so, a cannon fodder character who wasn't even a supporting role, so she didn't take her seriously at all.
Su Lian is like a little teddy bear who is quite scheming but pretends to be pitiful and cute, and this little teddy bear is openly trying to please others, making it hard for people to remain wary.
But this time, something really made her angry.
"Jiang Jiang, let me explain. Su Lian suddenly appeared at the villa today, saying that Su Jianxiu was harassing her and demanding that Su Lian pay money to bail Su Jianxiu out. She said that all she had to do was take a picture. I didn't think much of it and agreed to her request. But when we were taking the picture, she suddenly turned her face to the side."
I swear on my entire fortune, I have never had any ill intentions towards Jiang Jiang, and I will settle accounts with her properly. How dare she hurt my Jiang Jiang so much; I will not let her get away with this.
Jiang Cuo turned off his phone screen and hummed in agreement.
Su Qianqian is always like this. No matter what she says, she always agrees immediately, as if she doesn't even need to think.
His sullen mood gradually changed, and a sense of obsession and darkness slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
She also wanted to know where Su Qianqian's bottom line was, and whether Su Qianqian would agree to anything she did.
As a domineering CEO, he can restrain his little wife at any time.
How can a penniless, beautiful wife keep a domineering CEO at bay?
"Alright, Jiang Jiang, don't be angry anymore. Getting sick from anger is something no one can take your place, and it's me who's suffering."
Jiang Cuo's lips curled into a smile, a smile that was both ruthless and cold, making Su Qianqian feel uneasy. "I understand."
As long as you are stronger than the domineering CEO, you can... break the domineering CEO's wings.
A note from the author:
Su Lian is a little teddy bear who only tries to please Su Qianqian; he barks at everyone else.
Jiang Cuo is a cold and arrogant fox who disdains flattery, is stubborn but soft-hearted, and suffers the consequences of his arrogance.
The peacock is a simple-minded bird with only beauty and no ambition. It spends its days basking in its own beauty and showing off its plumage.
Deer antlers are like wolf cubs that have sheathed their sharp edges, secretly observing their prey and finding pleasure in not eating them.

Chapter Sixty-Two
[Waste System: Host, Jiang Cuo's mood value has stabilized at around 50. Please give it your best!]
Su Qianqian hugged her shoulders and trembled all over. "Jiang Jiang, I'm so cold. Am I going to get a fever?"
Su Qianqian lowered her head, pitifully hugging herself, leaving only the top of her head for Jiang Cuo.
Seeing that Jiang Cuo didn't respond, she finally raised her head, revealing a pair of rather pitiful doe eyes, "Jiang Jiang..."
Jiang Cuo's fingertips twitched slightly as she pursed her lips.
The rain had stopped by midnight, leaving only slightly cool air and occasional breezes.
However, every sizable puddle on the ground bore the marks of the recent storm.
Just like things that have happened, they may be in the past, but the traces of what happened can never be erased.
Jiang Cuo knew that Su Qianqian was deliberately acting pitiful, and even took small steps towards her embrace.
"The butler's car is parked not far away. I'm fine. You can go back now."
Jiang Cuo's cold voice sounded even colder in the quiet night.
Su Qianqian shook her head like a rattle-drum, scattering some of the water droplets from her hair. "Jiang Jiang clearly wasn't appeased by me. How could I easily leave and let Jiang Jiang stay behind and sulk? Wouldn't I be stupid? I'm not that clueless."
Su Qianqian pressed her head against Jiang Cuo's neck, exhaling hot breath, "Jiang Jiang, my head is really dizzy."
Jiang Cuo felt the burning heat of Su Qianqian's breath.
After spending most of the day in the light rain, she was covered in dampness, and her originally flowing high ponytail was gradually soaked by the rain.
The more persistent and clingy Su Qianqian was, the more at ease Jiang Cuo felt. Su Qianqian was even willing to lose face in order to achieve her goal with her.
Su Qianqian glanced at the mood score above Jiang Cuo's head out of the corner of her eye. It had turned green and reached 60. She was overjoyed, intuitively feeling that if she added a little more fuel to the fire, they might even be able to take a bath together tonight.
"Jiang Jiang... Jiang Jiang... Please, I beg you."
Jiang Cuo took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the time, and saw that it was already past midnight.
At this time, the grandparents should already be fast asleep.
Jiang Cuo: "You must leave before 6 o'clock tomorrow."
"Really? Jiang Jiang actually agreed. Jiang Jiang really loves me so much."
Su Qianqian looked up abruptly, placed her hands in front of her chest, and made a heart shape for Jiang Cuo. "But wouldn't this be too much of a bother? Grandpa and Grandma have poor sleep quality and don't get enough rest. If I come here without prior notice, won't it give them a bad impression of me? Besides, I'm busy today, and it's raining. I didn't bring anything with me. Wouldn't it seem impolite of me to come empty-handed?"
Jiang Cuo snorted coldly. "You're about to succeed, and you're making all sorts of excuses."
"Grandpa and Grandma have already gone to sleep. If you do it yourself, you won't disturb them."
Su Qianqian looked like a child who had secretly eaten candy, her almond-shaped eyes shining with sweetness.
"Jiang Jiang is so considerate of me."
Jiang Cuo turned around and walked towards the Dragon Gate. Su Qianqian gestured to the butler, indicating that he should go back first.
Although the butler cares about Su Qianqian and puts her first, he will not interfere with her actions as long as her safety can be ensured. Above his concern is respect.
Su Qianqian walked lightly down the stairwell. Her sneakers were soaked and made a squeaking sound as she walked. She took them off, and since her sticky socks were uncomfortable, she decided to take them off as well and walk barefoot on the stairs.
The two walked quietly in the hallway, without turning on the motion-sensor lights. However, with the moonlight shining through the hallway windows, Jiang Cuo still carefully observed Su Qianqian's movements.
Jiang Cuo frowned slightly, wondering why Su Qianqian would go to such lengths.
She's clearly a pampered young lady, but sometimes she's down-to-earth and always puts her sincerity, gentleness, and silliness before people, making them unconsciously want to get closer to her.
But the closer you get, the more you'll know that Su Qianqian, who is as warm as a ray of light, has a thousand and one good qualities. The closer you get, the more you'll be attracted and fall into her trap. Su Qianqian, however, is never angry. Instead, she releases more of her warmth, making those who are warmed by her even more greedy, wanting more and becoming increasingly avarice.
When Jiang Cuo left downstairs, he was so in a hurry that he forgot to close the door, which saved him the sound of the key being inserted into the lock.
Su Qianqian bent slightly, like a thief, following behind Jiang Cuo. After entering the house, she stood on tiptoe on the shoe-changing mat, not daring to move. She obediently and sensibly stared at Jiang Cuo, waiting for his instructions, as if afraid that she would dirty the house while she was wet.
When Jiang Cuo found a brand new pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, he turned around and saw Su Qianqian like this. His heart felt like it had been squeezed, both sour and bitter. Even his throat felt sour, and he couldn't help but rub his fingertips together.
Jiang Cuo placed the slippers in front of Su Qianqian, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice that seemed to carry a hint of seduction, "Put on the slippers and take a shower."
Su Qianqian nodded obediently, put on her slippers, and her five originally fair toes were covered in dust. Like a little duck learning to walk, she followed Jiang Cuo, wiggling her way to the bathroom.
When she decided to buy the house, she had seen it, but it was still a bare shell during the summer vacation. The renovation was handled entirely by the housekeeper, and she only knew the general location and size.
It's fairly standard, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Both master bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms.
So if Jiang Cuo takes her to take a bath now, wouldn't that mean they're going to enter Jiang Cuo's boudoir?
"Jiang Jiang, your room smells so good..."
Upon entering the room, Jiang Cuo found the curtains drawn tightly, allowing no moonlight to penetrate. The darkness concealed the tips of Jiang Cuo's already flushed ears. After hearing Su Qianqian's words, her fingers went numb, and she froze.
Su Qianqian accidentally bumped into Jiang Cuo's back.
"Shut up!"
The two characters "Jiang Cuo" seemed to be squeezed out from the root, carrying a sense of embarrassment and anger.
Su Qianqian touched her aching nose and obediently said "oh".
Jiang Cuo grabbed Su Qianqian's shoulders, intending to push her into the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, Su Qianqian's body was burning hot, so hot that her fingertips trembled.
"The light is next to the door. You can turn it on after you go in. There is cold water on the left and hot water on the right. You can set the temperature of the bathtub water yourself."
Su Qianqian: "Oh..."
After closing the bathroom door, Jiang Cuo turned around, let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly regretted bringing Su Qianqian up with him.
The curtains were drawn, making the whole room somewhat dim. Perhaps because the room had been dark all the way from the night to the stairs and into the room, my eyes had adjusted to the darkness, so I could still see some things vaguely.
The bathroom door is frosted. If the room lights are off, the light from the bathroom will shine through the frosted door, allowing a glimpse of the scene inside.
Jiang Cuo felt inexplicably irritable, and his thumb couldn't help but rub the knuckles of his index finger.
She sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her long legs, turned her head away, and resisted looking at the light shining through the frosted door.
Just then, the bathroom door clicked open, and a wet head popped out. Su Qianqian showed half her face, her eyes were wet, and water droplets still clung to her eyelashes. "Jiang Jiang, I don't have a towel or any shower gel. Can I use yours? Also, my clothes are wet, so I can't wear them after I shower..."
Upon hearing the sound of the bathroom door open, Jiang Cuo subconsciously stood up from the bed, his body straight and slightly stiff. When he saw Su Qianqian's question, which she already knew the answer to, he pressed his tongue against his palate and bit his back teeth.
It's as if Su Qianqian used it less when she was in the school dormitory, but here she's pretending to be pitiful, asking questions she already knows the answer to, is she just teasing her?
"It's up to you, you can choose not to use it."
"I knew Jiang Jiang was the best to me. She's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Well then, I won't be polite. Jiang Jiang, remember to find me some clothes later."
