As night fell, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the email sent by Shan Jinxi in her study, and the mocking expression on her face became clearer.

Su Taihong actually hit Lin Wanhui for a new secretary who had only been in office for a few days. No wonder he was so decisive in marrying his secretary after her mother died.

A leopard can't change its spots!

Su Xiaoxiao uttered these words coldly, and hatred surfaced in her eyes.

She quickly prepared the second wave of her 'revenge' for tomorrow. This time, she didn't hide anything from Shan Jinxi. She wouldn't reveal her grandfather's health condition, nor would she let the couple use her grandfather's health as a gimmick.

However, she now has another frustrating thing: she has no idea who wrote the note tucked in her work document.

Su Xiaoxiao initially thought it was Luo Yutong who did it, but the other party's decisive answer dispelled her suspicions.

However, she knew very few people in the conglomerate, and she was always polite to everyone, so she shouldn't have made any enemies.

"What are you thinking about?"

When Nangong Yi came to find her after taking a shower, he saw her sitting blankly staring at the computer screen, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"I'm just thinking about something, don't worry."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly gathered her thoughts as he approached and showed him what she had just written.

Nangong Yi didn't expect that the second person she wanted to take revenge on was Su Taihong. When he saw her angry words about her body being cremated, he felt sorry for her and picked her up to sit on his lap.

“You died very suddenly. Your grandfather, the only one who could protect you, was frightened into fainting. There was no one who could stop your father’s actions. Moreover, your father even hired fortune tellers and feng shui masters to make trouble. Any wealthy family that is superstitious about these things can understand her behavior.”

After learning about the concept of a destined bride, Nangong Yi stopped rejecting these supernatural beliefs, but he could not accept those who used such claims to deceive people.

He tightened his arms around Su Xiaoxiao, and his expression became exceptionally serious.

"I'll be able to post this report a little later tomorrow. I need to investigate the background of this fortune teller and feng shui master to silence the gossip."

"good."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded without objection.

She was only thinking about revenge and didn't consider things as thoroughly as Nangong Yi.

She turned her head and looked at the handsome face so close to her, and suddenly felt angry at herself for not 'cherishing' him back then.

"Nangong Yi, will you always be good to me?"

"That little brain of yours is starting to wander into wild thoughts again."

Nangong Yi flicked her forehead lightly without any politeness. She had a very formidable protector by her side, and the other party already knew her true identity. She was too busy guarding against that person to allow herself to treat her badly!

It seems his plans need to be brought forward!

Nangong Yi gently pulled her out of his arms, and after placing a light kiss on her forehead, the heartache in his eyes also surfaced.

"Tell me, why would you suddenly have such an absurd idea?"

"I……"

Looking into those overly serious eyes, Su Xiaoxiao's heart began to race.

She was well aware of Nangong Yi's feelings for her, and he wasn't the kind of man who would be 'lustful at first sight'. If she hadn't been influenced by her father and the new secretary's affair, she wouldn't have asked such a foolish question.

But she dared not reveal the 'truth' that would infuriate him.
