Chapter 91.1 – Extra: Remarriage (Part 2)

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　At this moment, Jiang Dai could not help but laugh softly at Zhao Chuyi’s audacious flirtation in WeChat. Without any hesitation, she quickly sent another reply.

Huo Rongshen: Are you inviting me to your place, Miss Zhao?

　　Zhao Chuyi almost instantly sent a message with her exact residential address down to the apartment number and even the elevator access code.

　　Staring at Jiang Dai’s flirtatious response, Huo Rongshen felt as if a mouthful of blood was lodged in his throat, ready to burst out at any moment. 

　　With much difficulty, he swallowed the blood and fed her another plump cherry. He uttered muffledly, “I’m truly amazed that you can still laugh.”

　　Jiang Dai savored the juicy and sweet fruit, her laughter also carrying a delightful sweetness. “What? Don’t you find it hilarious?”

　　Another frown marred his face once more as Huo Rongshen tried to find the right words. He was afraid of saying something that might offend this little troublemaker.

　　After a moment of silence, he spoke tactfully, “If this conversation were to get out……it wouldn’t reflect well on my image.”

　　Was he truly concerned about the chat logs being leaked? Of course not!

　　Although he trusted Jiang Dai and had been acting according to her instructions for the past month, his natural inclination in life was always to be prepared for any situation. Even if he followed Jiang Dai’s path and ultimately could not deal with Zhao Chuyi, he had other backup plans. As such, he had plenty of methods to ensure Zhao Chuyi would remain forever silent.

　　He also had ways to ensure that Zhao Chuyi would not dare to do anything harmful to Jiang Dai. He had no fear of any supposed system or supernatural forces that could destroy things in the real world, as he simply did not believe that Zhao Chuyi had any authority over this world.

　　The resources he had at his disposal were far more extensive and abundant than those of a mere cartoonist.

　　As for the reason he cooperated with Jiang Dai…… For Huo Rongshen, it was largely to win back his ex-wife’s favor and create more opportunities to be close to her. It would be even more perfect if he could conveniently deal with Zhao Chuyi using supernatural means along the way.

　　However, Huo Rongshen began to have other concerns in mind as things progressed according to Jiang Dai’s script.

　　He was starting to worry that Jiang Dai might have too much fun, become addicted to it, and eventually be unable to stop herself……

　　Jiang Dai had no idea that he was thinking so far ahead, as she merely assumed he was concerned about his image of being aloof and reserved being compromised.

　　Pouting her lips, she planted two more kisses on his lips. “Oh, come on! Just sacrifice a little more for me. I have a feeling that this should be the last time, President Huo. Can you endure a little longer for me, please?”

　　At this juncture, Huo Rongshen’s emotions were becoming complicated……

　　Jiang Dai was not only kissing him but also gazing at him with eyes that seemed to ripple like water, captivating him completely.

　　He felt as if he were being observed with such intensity that his inner turmoil became palpable.

　　Not only would he be willing to divulge confidential business information, but even if someone asked him to compromise his own dignity, he might find it difficult to resist.

　　In any case, he should consider himself fortunate that his ex-wife was a money-driven straight woman rather than a skilled manipulator or corporate spy.

　　Otherwise, he feared that he would have risked his entire business empire for her.

……

　　Under Jiang Dai’s coercion and temptation, Huo Rongshen finally made the daring decision to put himself at risk.

　　In order to appease the “film emperor,” she even personally accompanied him in the car.

　　Shortly after, they arrived at their destination — the underground parking garage of Zhao Chuyi’s apartment.

　　 Jiang Dai held his phone and conversed with Zhao Chuyi, then smiled and urged him to leave the car. “Go on, and good luck!”

　　Upon hearing that, Huo Rongshen was at a loss for words.

　　Seeing him sitting there motionless, Jiang Dai approached him and reached out to adjust his tie. She spoke with gentle reassurance, her words dripping with tenderness. “Don’t worry, you’re a strong man! You even tower over Zhao Chuyi by a full 30 centimeters! Although she has the knowledge and system, her physical strength is no different from that of an average woman. So, she has no power to force you into anything.”

　　In an instant, Huo Rongshen’s gaze grew intense.

　　Of course, he was not concerned about those things at all, as he simply felt aggrieved for being sent off by his wife herself as if he were being “sold.”

　　Even so, he understood that getting rid of Zhao Chuyi was a significant step forward in his and Jiang Dai’s relationship.

　　Moreover, Jiang Dai had made a special promise to him……

　　It was only eight in the evening, yet the night was already pitch black. Perhaps it was the fog that caused the moonlight to be dim, casting an even darker shadow over the residential area.

　　Before alighting the car, Huo Rongshen leaned close to Jiang Dai’s ear and questioned sternly, “I’m making such a big sacrifice for you, so what you promised me last time…… After we deal with this woman…… You better not deceive me.”

　　Jiang Dai chuckled sheepishly, “How could I? I have a reputation for always following through on my words, so I would never deceive you. Go on now, I’ll be waiting for you in the car. If anything comes up, feel free to call me. Be sure to adapt to the situation and act accordingly.”

……

　　In her apartment upstairs, Zhao Chuyi was just bursting with excitement.

　　She had finished preparing the ingredients hours ahead of time, then applied her makeup and prepared the meal. Finally, half an hour earlier than planned, she changed into a meticulously chosen deep red dress. Standing in front of the mirror, she carefully applied Jiang Dai’s favorite shade of lipstick — a bold and vibrant red that exuded a rich and passionate allure.

　　Zhao Chuyi’s appearance could be rated at around 85 out of 100, but after dressing up, she could easily achieve a score of 90 or even higher. Coupled with Huo Rongshen’s recent frequent displays of affection, her confidence soared to unprecedented heights.

　　Today, she discarded her usual image as a casual cartoonist. Her round glasses were cast aside, replaced by captivating brown-tinted contact lenses. Every detail of her appearance was carefully selected to enhance her allure.

　　As for Black Ball, it was on the brink of collapse.

　　Due to Zhao Chuyi’s recent state, Black Ball suffered a severe backlash from the life-and-death contract. As such, it had lost much of its strength to impede its host’s actions and was now barely clinging to existence. 

　　Sensing that its host was heading toward self-destruction, Black Ball mustered its remaining strength and spoke with a strained voice, “I strongly advise you to cease your actions immediately, Host. I’ll be honest with you. There is no way Huo Rongshen is interested in you! Your soul power is already incredibly weak, so you have been living like an ordinary person. That is why you have not noticed it yet. If you do not stop now, you might not even survive tonight……”

　　While Zhao Chuyi awaited Huo Rongshen’s arrival, she admired her reflection in the mirror.

　　Upon hearing Black Ball’s utterance, she scoffed dismissively, “It’s not like you’re not human, so how could you possibly understand the complexities of human desires and attractions? Why can’t Huo Rongshen be interested in me? The principle of our life-and-death contract is that I mustn’t harbor selfish desires for the male lead, but I don’t have such desires to begin with. Besides, it’s him who has shown more affection towards me lately. As long as I can make Huo Rongshen fall in love with me first, the life-and-death contract issue will naturally resolve itself.”

　　Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang. With that, Zhao Chuyi no longer paid attention to the dying Black Ball.

　　She rushed to answer the door, only to come face to face with Huo Rongshen’s strikingly handsome visage…… In a split second, her cheeks flushed with a tinge of red.

　　“You’re certainly punctual, Mr. Huo.”

　　Zhao Chuyi was so excited that her entire body was pulsating with fervent anticipation.
