After changing the toddler’s diapers, Bing Shi continued to respond to the sea of emails on her phone while Ying Xiong explored the truck with Kuro. Maybe she should have started some dance lessons with Stinky Bun instead of taking him outside. But he would miss out so much. Props to all the single parents out there. Taking care of a child alone and working at the same time was no joke.

[“Pets should be as important as other human beings, right Kuro?”]

Kuro nodded its head.

“Mooomy,” Ying Xiong showed Kuro the newly discovered sticker on the truck in amazement. “Mooomy.” Woaah. Having his mouth parted into a big O, someone stuffed a spoonful of something very cold inside, making his face scrunch, his mind freeze, and body shake at the sour taste.

Retreating the spoon, Ziek licked his lemon-flavored ice cream with laughter, “Ready to go home?”

“Yes, please,” Bing Shi lifted her gaze, and too laughed at the toddler’s sour expression. But when her husband stood up in an attempt to give her a taste of his ice cream, her exaggerated expression would make one think that there was some domestic abuse going on.

.....

“Don’t worry about who you’re.” Picking up his son, he whispered to the little boy’s ears, “We’re all a little fucked up. Just gotta find someone whose demons play well with yours.”

“I heard you, I know it’s wrong to lie, but nobody shall call their wife ducked up,” Bing Shi took out her phone, pointing the camera at Ying Xiong, “As an apology, could you feed him again, please?”

Xuan Mu’s lips curved up into a feral grin, letting the boy lick his sour ice cream per his wife’s wish.

For the first time, the little boy’s soul wished to grow up so he could fight the bullish daddy and mommy back!

There were lots of advantages of being a public figure compared to her hubby or Quin Yu who hid behind the scenes. Bing Shi didn’t have to send out Kuro to find dirt or hack anyone to make them fall. For example, she ‘accidentally’ mentioned how she disliked a certain brand of phones, and that company’s stock dropped billions in worth... in a span of five minutes. Such a crazy experience (at that moment, when the company declared itself bankrupt in the span of a few days, she became every investor’s nightmare).

After dealing with the leaders of all local authorities and bringing them together to guide a strategy for the area, Bing Shi left the council.

Four Billion dollars: with a capital B. That was her budget for the new infrastructure improvements program. It was a head-spinning array of funds and “pockets” watched over by the State’s Budget Office.

The government was overlooking the project too, but to be effective, they needed to occupy large swaths of her calendar and her attention. Always.

While her assistant received a call from the police department, (yes, they called again) another woman pointed a tablet with today’s schedule to her.

“It took longer than we thought. Today is Mr. Lin’s birthday. Do you want me to reschedule the meeting with the Bound & Found publishing company?” Su Luqin spoke to her new boss, sounding a bit detached.

“No rescheduling. I can’t pass on someone who wants to write a book about me, can I? Oh, it’s my father’s birthday? Shall we give him a big surprise this year?” Bing Shi sent the hardworking helper her home address. Ying Xiong needed a babysitter very badly, “Fetch them at their house and drive them here. I’ll inform my husband of your arrival.”

Also, meet Bing Shi’s new errand girl: Su Luqin. Su Luqin’s white lotus power was, quite simply, very wow. Her schemes had more holes than cheese itself yet she could still escape a certain death countless times.

Most would roll their eyes at the female lead’s halo, but try to get in contact with this type of person, and one would notice how much of a cheat Su Luqin was.

If Su Luqin didn’t abuse her power too much, she could have lived a better life. As an ex-convict, she ended up with trust issues. She... kind of stopped having feelings for people.

“Yes.” Su Luqin looked down from Silika Lin’s scrutiny, feeling like a bacteria being observed under a microscope. It was more of a curious gaze than a disgusted one she often received after the truth was revealed.

Mo Luwei tried to hide his revolted gaze, but Su Luqin knew better. It wasn’t openly talked about, but it was kind of an unspoken thing that nobody found a sullied woman desirable.

Su Min might have saved Mo Luwei before, but Su Luqin was the one who always kept him company as his legit girlfriend even though his eyes never truly looked at her. The truth of her being lost and gang raped on an island (this happened in the original ); the truth of her scheming her step parent’s and sister’s death; the truth of her drugging other co-stars or sleeping with men to get the roles, was all revealed by Quin Yu.

Su Luqin was released after a six-year prison sentence, and would have ended up as a homeless and jobless person- she would even be dead if Silika Lin didn’t reach out to her, “Why did you help me? To further provoke Mo Luwei and that bitch?”

“For my image. I might have won the ‘good’ people’s hearts, but not the ‘bad’ ones. And you just happen to be the most hated person in the city. You’re an evil woman. Whether you want to admit it or not, that’s the truth.” Bing Shi went through her emails, her long skirt outlined her firm walking pace.

The city’s gangs viewed Bing Shi as if she was some kind of justice arbitrator. That wasn’t that far from the truth since some people deserved to be bombarded for their uncivilized behavior. She will give them a few changes, then, a purge will commence, “Oh, I almost forgot. Could you buy a birthday cake on your way, please?”

“Yes,” Su Luqin scattered like the wind. Being called evil in the face, and at the same time treated like a decent human being was more than alarming. It was as if that pretentious bitch was used to working for...no, working with evil herself.

Anyone could be a villain. Bing Shi wanted to know if some could rise from their fall and receive a second chance. She didn’t mean the wronged, pitiful souls, but the truly evil ones like Su Luqin. How could Su Luqin respond to a familiar love with attempted murder, and a helping hand with disdain?

· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·

When alone, Bing Shi frowned at her restless heart.

More.

More.

More.

To calm her anxiety, she needed to have more control.

Over what?

Usually, over everything in her life.

But it appears to be hardly enough now.

She seemed to want to have control over other people’s lives too.

The obsessive thoughts of obtaining temporary relief from nothing, yet something, were always here.

Everyone made fun of her and blamed it on her OCD. Hey. She knew herself the best. She had no OCD, okay?

She functioned perfectly fine even with such thoughts. They didn’t affect her day negatively. Her days were very efficient and barely disturbed. Some little anxiety was nothing, really.

“Mommy,” hearing the doorbell, a baby boy automatically sauntered from Xuan Mu’s office towards the entrance. He reached his hands up towards the handle, “Mommy, mommy.”

“Mommy has keys, she doesn’t need you to open the door for her.” Xuan Mu said from behind his desk. He could weaken Aoi Hong’s god’s power, but he could do nothing with her luck. So one could imagine what it meant for this boy.

“Mommy,” like a good boy, Ying Xong wanted to help his mommy to get inside. He used his tiny palm to slap the door, which caused the electric door to malfunction and open up.
