Cry louder, I can't hear you.

On Yunqiao's first night in Nancheng, the two ate a silent dinner.

Dinner was sweet and sour fish, which Yunqiao loves, along with other sweet and spicy dishes.

But after finishing the meal, the amount of leftover food was not much less.

Yun Qiao had always resisted talking to Shen Suwei, but never before had the atmosphere been so oppressive as tonight.

She thought about it all night and finally understood the difference.

Shen Suwei didn't initiate conversation with her as usual.

Shen Suwei is unhappy?

But she didn't do or say anything to make him angry, did she?

Wasn't he in a pretty good mood in the car?

Could it be that Shen Suwei asked her if she liked what he had prepared, and she only said "yes," but didn't express it enthusiastically enough?

Yun Qiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep until the early hours of the morning, when suddenly something came to her mind.

Why should I even think about this question?

What does Shen Suwei's happiness or unhappiness have to do with her?

As she turned around again, Yun Qiao's shoulder was suddenly pressed down.

She paused slightly, then turned to look at him: "You're not asleep yet?"

In the darkness, Shen Suwei lay motionless beside her, his slightly hoarse voice coming through:

"Can't you sleep?"

Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "A little."

There was a moment of silence, then he suddenly threw off the covers and got up.

Seeing him get out of bed in the dark, Yun Qiao was a little surprised and sat up as well: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to sleep next door."

Yun Qiao was even more surprised. It was already strange that he didn't touch her before going to bed tonight, but now he actually wanted to sleep in the next room?

Just as he was about to ask something, Shen Suwei had already closed the door and left.

The room fell into darkness again.

Yun Qiao was somewhat stunned.

Was Shen Suwei unable to sleep at all? Was it because she was tossing and turning and disturbing him that he wanted to go out to sleep?

People say there's a seven-year itch; even the most loving couples will experience a fading of affection after a long marriage, sometimes to the point where they even find each other repulsive.

wrong.

What is she thinking?

Husband and wife? She and Shen Suwei were at most enemies, how could they be husband and wife?

Yun Qiao raised her hand and patted her face, trying to bring her thoughts back to normal.

She lay back down, covered her head with the blanket, and tried to fall asleep.

Shen Suwei can sleep wherever he wants; what business is it of hers?

Anyway, his house is so big, and there are so many empty rooms.

Yun Qiao stayed up until almost four o'clock before finally managing to fall asleep.

However, after only a few hours of sleep, he was woken up by a barrage of phone calls from Yunyang at seven o'clock.

Was it Yun Zhenxing or Ni Ping who died?

When Yun Qiao answered the phone, her voice was blazing with anger:

"You'd better have something urgent to do, or I'm not letting you off the hook!"

"Sis, you and Shen Suwei are trending on social media!"

"Trending topic?"

Upon hearing those two words, Yun Qiao immediately thought of last night's live stream and sensed something was wrong. She sat up abruptly and pressed for an answer:

"What happened?"

"So that man the other day was Shen Suwei, not Shen Qing? Sis, you're quite something! That means if our family goes bankrupt, my brother and I won't starve. Sis, if you go to the Shen family, you can take me with you—"

"...Get to the point." Yun Qiao interrupted, unable to bear it any longer.

"I was just about to say it, weren't I? Don't rush me," Yunyang chuckled a few times, then quickly got back to the point, "You and Shen Suwei were live-streaming last night, and someone recorded the video and posted it online. Now everyone's talking about your relationship with Shen Suwei! Sis, Shen Suwei is much better than Shen Qing. You'd better not be with Shen Qing anymore. Let's choose—"

Yunyang's words were disjointed and lacked focus, so Yunqiao lost patience and hung up on him to check Weibo herself.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked; once she did, Yun Qiao felt her vision go black.

Good heavens, why did a five-minute live stream cause such a huge incident?!

In just one night, netizens not only uncovered Shen Suwei's identity, but also hers.

The fabrications that 007 forced upon her, and the evidence about her studying abroad, were all dug up and posted by netizens.

Perhaps because she is now a wealthy heiress, netizens don't seem to have any ill will towards her.

Even when some people say that Yun Qiao is actually Shen Suwei's cousin's fiancée, netizens just say how exciting it is.

She and Shen Suwei even have a CP (couple) supertopic – Wei Qiao.

Yun Qiao clicked in and took a look; the number of followers on the super topic was already close to a thousand.

Yun Qiao is ashamed; netizens really have too much free time...

After scrolling through Weibo for a while, Yun Qiao decided to go find Shen Suwei.

This trending topic staying on the trending list isn't a good solution.

Let's get rid of him first.

She pushed open the door and went out, just as she was about to go to the guest room to find Shen Suwei, when she suddenly heard Shen Suwei's voice coming from the kitchen.

He woke up so early?

Isn't it the weekend? Why does Shen Suwei still have to go to work?

Yun Qiao walked to the kitchen door and immediately saw Shen Suwei with his back to her, making breakfast while answering a phone call.

"Second Uncle, don't make me say it a second time."

Second uncle?

Shen Qing's father?

"She has nothing to do with you. If I find out you're playing tricks on her again, Second Uncle, you don't want the company Grandpa left you to disappear completely, do you?"

……

"When did I say that project was to be handed over to you, Second Uncle? Are you misunderstanding something?"

……

"I'm only meeting with you because we're relatives. What, does my second uncle think I agreed to meet you so I could give you the project?"

"Or does Second Uncle think that because I'm lame and blind, I'm easy to fool? Is Su Yuan already yours?"

Without speakerphone on, Yun Qiao couldn't hear what Shen Qing's father was saying.

However, from Shen Suwei's words, Yun Qiao could roughly deduce that Shen Suwei and Shen Qing's father were talking about the cooperation between the two companies.

They knew beforehand that Shen Qing's family company was in trouble and on the verge of bankruptcy. They had been hoping that Shen Suwei could help them out, or that they could build a good relationship with Shen Suwei so that they could take over his company after he died.

The reason you're calling now is probably because you found out that Shen Suwei walked to work yesterday.

Is he worried that his plan to seize Su Yuan will fail, and he's getting anxious?

"woke up?"

While Yun Qiao was lost in thought, Shen Suwei had already noticed her without her noticing. He hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her.

"Breakfast will be a few minutes from now. Please go and sit in the living room for a bit."

Recalling his strange behavior last night, Yun Qiao carefully observed his state and saw that he had a smile on his face, so he must be in a good mood.

Yun Qiao felt slightly relieved and nodded:

"Um."

She had just finished ordering when she realized that she had come to see him because it was urgent.

So he hurriedly said:

"Did you know about the trending topic?"

"Trending topic?"

His eyes flickered slightly, as if in doubt.

Yun Qiao opened the Weibo page on her phone, walked up to him, and handed him the phone to look at.

"Yesterday's live stream is trending on social media."

He took the phone, glanced at it, and when he saw some of the comments, a slight smile appeared on his lips, which he quickly suppressed. He then handed the phone back to her.

"So what if I went ahead?"

Yun Qiao said that netizens were spreading rumors that they were a couple, which bothered her a lot.

But as soon as the words were on her lips, she remembered that Shen Suwei was actually happy to see it happen, and she immediately felt that this reason could not be used.

She paused.

"Someone said I cheated on my girlfriend and has been insulting me. I'm furious! Please remove this trending topic from the search results!"
