Gu Shaocheng, feeling helpless, walked to the table in the guest room, poured himself a glass of water, and said while drinking, "But I miss you."

The only response he got from Chenxing was a single word: "Oh."

Gu Shaocheng was used to her cold attitude. These days, his wife hadn’t shown him a single pleasant expression. Gu Shaocheng

ignored her attitude and said with deep, intense eyes, "Wait for me at home. Once I finish my work, I’ll... I’ll come home."

Before Chenxing hung up the phone, she bit her lip, reluctant to admit, "Take care of yourself while you’re out."

After ending the call, her tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

Chenxing covered her mouth and quickened her pace to get home, walking faster and faster, finally breaking into a slight run.

Sheng Sheng...

Sheng Sheng...

...

In the study, Chenxing stood in front of the bookshelf, searching shelf by shelf for something. She had looked online, but the information on this organization was scarce. She couldn’t find anything useful, so she hoped to find something in Shaocheng’s database, something more comprehensive. She really wanted to know where Sheng Sheng was.

Baihao said that Shaocheng was vying for some presidency, and of course, she couldn’t just give him a hard time. If there were any other choice, Shaocheng would never have sent Sheng Sheng away, right?

He loves their child so much; it must have been out of necessity, with no other options!

She wanted to blame him but wanted more to provide him with a stable home without worries!

They had weathered storms together over the years, gone through so much. Even when Shaocheng was diagnosed with ALS, she got through it. Even when she was in a coma for two years, Shaocheng endured. She did not want to scold Shaocheng, didn’t want to fight with him, and didn’t want to curse at him; she just felt truly distressed inside.

"Shaocheng, should I trust you? You wouldn’t put my Sheng Sheng in danger, would you?"

"Shaocheng, I believe in you, but you have to really provide a carefree world for me and the child, as you promised!"

"Young Madam, what are you looking for? Tell me, and I’ll help you find it," the butler walked in, standing at the door with a slight frown.

Chenxing glanced back at the butler, "No need. I’ll find it myself. Butler, you go about your business."

Things in Shaocheng’s study were not meant to be touched by others, and Chenxing knew this. She still remembered the regret of accidentally touching a box of candies on the desk back then. But now, she couldn’t be bothered with rules and fears; she just wanted to find some information, to better understand things, to see if she could help Shaocheng in some way. She wanted to be of some help when facing challenges and to find some peace of mind.

"Found it!" Chenxing suddenly exclaimed in surprise. A dossier fell into her hands, and she waved it at the butler, "Butler, I’ve found what I’m looking for. You can go back to your work. I’ll read it myself."

The butler didn’t say much, nodded, and left.

Chenxing sat on Gu Shaocheng’s dedicated chair, carefully opened the file folder containing the dossier. What kind of information was inside?

Chenxing talked to herself as she sat there, meticulously flipping through the pages one by one.

"So the member information inside the Skull Society, not a single one is a nobody. They all have significant backgrounds, many high-ranking American government officials, even former presidents were Skull Society members, along with many influential family members who can shake the world with a single move, just like someone as formidable as Shaocheng." Chenxing gritted her teeth, frowning deeply, "Can Shaocheng be chosen as the next president?"

[Hehe, here’s a little scene, and then... revealing my true self: Begging for monthly votes, do you have any monthly votes left?]

[Small scene]

Gu Shaocheng: Wife, I’m back, do you want to... Uh, why are there so many instant noodles on the floor?

Chenxing (stern-faced): You, kneel down for me!

Gu Shaocheng (delighted): Is this a new pleasure you’ve developed for the bedroom?

Chenxing: Kneel quickly!

Gu Shaocheng (thinking): Wait, kneeling while doing it? Doing it while eating? This... that’s quite challenging, isn’t it?

Chenxing: !!!!!!!!!!!
