Honestly, it was insane, once a company or a person had about 10 billion, they couldn’t spend it fast enough. The money she accumulated with Xuan Mu in the past amassed faster than their managing team could figure out how to actually spend them. They had other goals than being rich or helping the poor.
Money was here to be controlled, not here to control them. So more than often, they would look for so interesting projects to invest in; immortality, space travel, and virtual reality being among them. But now, what was the point of working so arduously hard to earn that much money?
“Why are you alone again?” Li Jie stepped before her. He figured it out. Getting to notice her had to be an honor she granted upon him.
“He’s busy...yes, again.” Bing Shi tilted her head to observe the two couples in the middle like most people present, “Don’t misunderstand. It’s because this place is not suitable for babies.”
Hubby’s recent actions caused the market to crash and she took the opportunity while the stocks were on the discount to invest heavily in dia companies. Universally, the largest dia firms were owned by the governnt or by private families. She wanted a piece of that, and this was the very reason why she attended this event.
Compared to the big whales around, she was still a small fish that wasn’t worthy of much attention. How to be sobody yet nobody at the sa ti? Her mission was very contradictory and hard to grasp.
.....
Li Jie followed Silika as she sat at her reserved spot; all the four seats around her were empty. Glancing at the naplates, Li Jie noticed that her husband’s na as well as a few unfamiliar ones were written down. For so reason, however, Lu Kai was missing, “Xuan Mu? Ru Quan? Ziek Black...?”
“I wanted a whole table for myself.” Bing Shi supported her chin with her palm. She took Lukas Schiffer’s naplate, “Take a seat if you want.”
Li Jie sat down with a dumbfounded expression, so it was her doing and not her husband’s? “I thought you liked to be under the spotlight and decided to help out but...”
They both took a look at the elite’s party: the world’s crè de la crè. Li Jie appearing next to Silika Lin stirred no attraction or attention from the crowd.
“I wonder if they have so good, non-alcoholic drinks,” Bing Shi picked up the nu, “I really liked the cocktails from Night Royale. They were so pretty, so having sothing similar would be nice.”
Noticing his troubled expression, she flashed him a sweet smile, “Be careful, or I’ll start to take your goodness for granted. It’s fine, I got enough spotlight already. If I get any more, I will enroll to be mayor of Pujing city. Oh my goodness...I think I’ll do just that. Save your vote for .”
“Don’t joke around, soone might laugh at your nonsense...” Li Jie recollected himself and recomnded a drink from the nu to her. People had been talking behind his back about going after a married woman. Couldn’t they be viewed just as friends? He wasn’t going after her; they were not ant to be together and it was fine, he knew. Being with her was just sothing that made him genuinely comfortable.
“Wait...you’re serious, aren’t you?” He thought about her influence on the public, her previous and latest stunts with her taking over the director’s position in certain movies... Her chances of winning the elections were astoundingly high. His eyes widened as if the person before him wasn’t human, “You are crazy...”
“Aw, thank you,” Bing Shi used both hands to touch her face in a ‘shy’ expression, which looked more like delighted at a complint kind of expression. Hubby’s way of having fun influenced her a bit too much.
[Host, hubby said to stop being too beautiful.]
[“Kuro?”]
Bing Shi blinked her eyes at the little snake before her, squealing in delight, she dashed out of the hall. To hell with this charity, she wanted to go ho and play with Kuro!
|”Hubbyyy! Kuro is back! Kuro is baaaaack!”|
Four years. It was the exact sa amount of ti Xuan Mu had to wait for Bing Shi to appear.
Holding a showerhead, Xuan Mu accidentally sprayed water into Ying Xong’s face. He groaned and imdiately grabbing the towel and then he wiped the tiny, ticking, flesh baby bomb. He couldn’t appear in public with Ying Xong. This baby boy refused to grow. The stinky little bun was three years old, and yet he still looked no different from a one year old toddler.
|Don’t leave the hall yet. Quin Yu might follow after you. Wife, I never heard of you becoming a Mayor.|
|”Hubby, I never heard of you, turning into a genius.”|
Bing Shi stopped at her steps abruptly and returned to her seat as if nothing happened. Quin Yu marrying a commoner, and an actress at that, was unacceptable in his strict family’s opinion. What he didn’t expect was that his ‘friend’ Lu Kai would be against him being with Aoi Hong too.
|It was an accident. They all looked down at your intellect, so I decided to look down at theirs. Now, explain your Mayor thingy.|
That’s her hubby. Bing Shi nodded in satisfaction.
|”You know how I’m not into the petty revenge thingy, right? But I thought it though... I don’t want Mo Luwei on my side anymore. Instead I imagined how he would feel if I, an insignificant actress, jumped in the political ranks faster than him. Nah... Not really, being in politics would help in my mission but angering Mo Luwei is just a bonus. I also don’t want to be an actress anymore...”|
That’s his wifey. Xuan Mu nodded in satisfaction.
|”It’s also a part of your special training. Deal with Quin Yu yourself, wuhu!”|
Xuan Mu’s mouth twitched at her ‘alfa playing beta wolf’ whistle. He needed a worthy opponent against Quin Yu. He left Mo Luwei with only a few scratches, so that man could recover and beco stronger. He clearly created so rivalry between them, so why did they decide to go against him instead. Why? Because his wife decided it was a good idea to throw the ex-male lead and a villain against him!
He loved his wife so, so much, but where did Mo Luwei get the impression that he wanted Su Min? Bing Shi took advantage of his habit to twist the truth, obviously.
Because he brought a child ho behind her back, he couldn’t really condemn her actions.
|You’re not into that petty revenge thingy, hm?|
Hearing that serious muscular tone of his voice, Bing Shi gulped down her saliva. Her hubby dealt with the elite families too fast by reducing his wealth and hiding his influence behind Binfinity’s people. In doing this, it made them believe that his accomplishnts were all due to their group work.
|It’s alright, because I’m very much into that. Petty. Revenge. Thingy.|
Li Jie looked in confusion at Silika who suddenly clapped her hands together in a praying motion.

Aoi Hong dragged Quin Yu towards the refreshnts area, “A charity auction?” Her mouth fell open. She looked at her plate of cake in guilt. She only agreed to attend these ceremonies because they had very tasty food, “Why didn’t you tell sooner? I didn’t bring anything.”
“Just leave it to ,” Quin Yu couldn’t help but chuckle at this foolishly cute girl. He used his finger to wipe away the whipped cream that found its way to the corners of her mouth.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this public display of affection from soone they called Satan. Quin Yu did show up in private events and would always have a new date by his side, but nobody had seen him being affectionate to those won like he did with Aoi Hong.
