Cry louder, I can't hear you.

There was a brief incident; Yunqiao got off the bus less than five minutes later.

Unexpectedly, that very night, just after she returned home from the car repair shop, she came across news about her and Li Ruoyan online.

It turns out there were illegitimate children living nearby at the time.

They posted the video, and instantly, the hashtag #LiRuoyanRear-End Collision# went viral and became a trending topic.

Three years have passed, and his fame seems to have grown even more.

It's ridiculously high.

Every move they make attracts a lot of attention.

Yun Qiao didn't understand why his fame had suddenly increased so much until she saw his CP comments with another male celebrity in the comments section.

Out of curiosity, she searched it up and found out that Li Ruoyan had filmed a drama with two male leads two years ago, which became a hit.

Moreover, he was playing a submissive role.

Yun Qiao: ...

I never imagined that one day Li Ruoyan would be associated with gay people, especially the lower half of them...

Life is indeed unpredictable.

Ke Yunqiao thought about it all night but still couldn't understand.

Li Ruoyan is already a top-tier singer and not an actor. He doesn't need to gain attention in this way, so why would he film this kind of drama?

When Shen Qing called, Yun Qiao was already getting ready to sleep.

"Did you block me?"

Yun Qiao paused for a moment:

"...Maybe I pressed the wrong button by accident."

"I see. May I come to see you now?"

"..." Coming to see her so late at night? Even a fool would know what his intentions are.

"It's too late."

"But I'm already downstairs at your place."

Yun Qiao was startled and quickly got out of bed to peek through a corner of the curtain.

Sure enough, Shen Qing's car was indeed parked downstairs at her house.

"Yun Qiao? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"...I'm not home tonight, I'm going to see a friend."

Shen Qing clicked her tongue impatiently, somewhat annoyed: "You don't come home tonight?"

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Qing said anxiously, "My family is going on a beach vacation next week, why don't you come along?"

"I still—"

"You're not going to say you're busy again, are you?" Shen Qing interrupted, her tone somewhat impatient. "Every time I look for you, you say you're busy. Yun Qiao, what do you mean? Do you have a problem with me?"

"..."

"Are you really at your friend's house right now? Otherwise, tell me your house code. Since you're not coming back tonight, I'll just stay at your place for the night."

"When exactly is the vacation?"

Shen Qing curled her lips into a smug smile. "Next Monday."

"it is good."

After Yun Qiao finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

She still needs her cheap father to give her living expenses, and she can't let him know that she's unhappy with the marriage.

Although the system gave her 5000 points, even the smallest cheat ability requires 100 points to redeem. She has to stay here for three years, and the system didn't come with her. She doesn't know if anything unexpected will happen during these three years, so she should save her points if possible.

Since that cheapskate father wants to scheme against her, she might as well swindle his money.

Yun Qiao wasn't really interested in this island vacation, but she only found out that Shen Suwei was there when she arrived on the island!

Yun Qiao looked at Shen Qing: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Shen Qing looked innocent: "You didn't ask."

Yun Qiao was somewhat annoyed. She should have realized it sooner. Shen Qing said "their family," so "their family" would definitely include Shen Suwei.

"So, Shen Shiyu is here too?"

Shen Qing asked in surprise, "You know my step-cousin?"

"...After all, you're family. I've already checked beforehand."

Shen Qing was pleased with these words. He thought to himself, "How could Yun Qiao not care about him?"

"She and her mother are both here," he replied.

But when Shen Shiyu was mentioned, Shen Qing recalled the fleeting glimpse she had at the old man's birthday banquet, and her mind went blank again.

Unlike Yun Qiao's extremely beautiful appearance, Shen Shiyu was incredibly pure; damn it, he had never played with someone so pure before.

Anyway, Shen Shiyu isn't the Shen family's biological daughter, so this trip to the island might just be...

"Where will I stay tonight?" Yun Qiao suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts.

Shen Qing snapped out of her reverie, glanced at Yun Qiao, and said, "You can live with me."

I want to live alone.

"You're not happy living with me? Yunqiao, what do you mean?"

"We're not even married yet, and you want me to live with you? I'd like to ask you what you mean by that? Shen Qing, you're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"

Yun Qiao retorted with his usual logic, leaving Shen Qing speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally told the truth:

"You and the other women live in Building 2."

He had originally intended to share a room with Yun Qiao, but this trip to the island was arranged by his uncle's family to help his cousin relax, and they even arranged the room; he had no right to interfere.

He only said that to trick Yunqiao into coming to live with him.

Yun Qiao had no idea what was going on in his mind. It had taken them a whole day to get to the island, with flights and boats. She was exhausted. After getting her room key, Yun Qiao grabbed her luggage and went back to sleep.

He slept until night.

She heard someone knocking on the door.

"Miss Yun."

It was Shen Shiyu's voice.

Are you awake?

Yunqiao got out of bed to open the door.

Shen Shiyu was taken aback when she saw her, secretly sized up Yun Qiao, and then spoke:

"Dinner is ready. They asked me to come and call you for dinner."

While Shen Shiyu was sizing up Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao was also subtly observing her.

Three years have passed, and Shen Shiyu looks much more mature and composed.

She used to love wearing brightly colored, cute clothes, but now she can even pull off a sexy halter-neck white bodycon dress.

"What's your name?" Yun Qiao asked.

Shen Shiyu then realized that she had forgotten to introduce herself:

"Excuse me, my name is Shen Shiyu, Shen Qing's cousin. I live next door. If you need any help these next few days, feel free to ask me."

"I'll tidy up and come down right away. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Yun Qiao was just being polite; she didn't think a normal person would say "okay."

Surprisingly, Shen Shiyu actually nodded: "Okay."

Yun Qiao: ...

Since the words had already been spoken, Yun Qiao could only step aside to let her pass.

"Please sit wherever you like. I'm going to the restroom to wash my face."

Shen Shiyu nodded, glanced around her room, and finally sat down on the sofa.

Before she came, she had heard her mother tell her about Yun Qiao's general situation.

She should have been a pampered young lady, but after her mother died, her father, who had married into the family, sent her abroad.

She studied "Art Business" at Sotheby's College of Art in London. During her university years, she interned at several auction houses and galleries in Europe, learning art appraisal and investment skills. According to her plan, she will continue her studies in Europe after graduation.

However, her father had probably heard that Shen Qing's family had been getting close to their family recently. In order to establish a connection, he took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance to Shen Qing's parents after learning that Yun Qiao knew Shen Qing.

What a pity.

Such a lovely girl...

The bathroom door suddenly opened, interrupting Shen Shiyu's thoughts. She snapped back to reality and looked at Yun Qiao with a complicated expression.

"Are you and my cousin on good terms?"

Yun Qiao paused slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Shen Shiyu seemed to realize that her question was presumptuous. She smiled and said, "Although you are my cousin's fiancée, you should be three years younger than me. I see you as my younger sister."

Yun Qiao: ...

Who are they taking advantage of?
