After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Zhou Yu wasn't really sure either; he had just felt a vague unease.

Feeling that something was amiss, he picked up the medicine bottle he had found and tested it. After all, Mu Chenxi was lying there, and he couldn't afford for anything to happen to her.

Unexpectedly, his chance attempt actually caused a problem!

Zhou Yu didn't answer her question, but instead handed the small medicine bottle he had picked up to Mu Chenxi.

She took it and her eyes immediately turned cold.

Zhou Yu didn't know what it was, but she, who grew up in a wealthy family, recognized it.

It's poison.

Even a tiny bit can be fatal.

Mu Chenxi's assistant was quite efficient; she brought the male nurse over in no time.

After Zhou Yu turned the hospital bed up, Mu Chenxi's gaze fell on him, and she said, "Ayu, you can go out now."

Zhou Yu was surprised that she wouldn't let him listen, but he only paused for a moment, then turned to look at her cold aura, and without saying anything, walked out of the suite.

After Zhou Yu left, Mu Chenxi's aura grew even colder.

Her sinister gaze fell upon the person disguised as a nurse who was forced to kneel on the ground, and a cold, alluring smile curved her lips. "Did Second Uncle send you to harm me?"

The man bit his lip hard, remaining silent.

Seeing the man's restrained expression, Mu Chenxi said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether you talk or not, I can find the evidence anyway. However, my second uncle really went to great lengths to harm me. Before, my car broke down, which caused me to lose my legs. I haven't settled the score with him yet, but I didn't expect him to come to me again."

The man knelt on the ground, his head bowed deeply.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his cold eyes filled with pain and pleading, and confessed truthfully, "Ms. Mu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. It was all Mu Tingshen's fault. He kept threatening me with my family and seized the opportunity when you were injured to make me pretend to be a nurse and poison you."

He has been by Mu Tingshen's side for two years now, and he has been using the child to threaten her.

He's had enough!

He also wanted to live a normal life with his daughter.

When will this constant dependence on others ever end?

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenxi showed no surprise, only a faint sneer, "He really couldn't hold back."

The man pleaded through tears, "Ms. Mu, you can do whatever you want to me, but please, please save my daughter. He has been holding my child hostage. She is only three years old. Please, please keep her safe."

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to cooperate..." Thank you, Ms. Mu! Thank you, Ms. Mu!

The man thanked her repeatedly, almost wanting to kowtow to Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi glanced at her assistant beside her, her eyes dark and deep. "Take him away. You know what to do next, right?"

"Understood, Mr. Mu!"

After the assistant left with his men, Zhou Yu walked back in. "All done?"

"Hmm." Mu Chenxi smiled, her long, slender fingers gently stroking the boy's cheek. "I didn't expect our A-Yu to be so amazing. The fact that I'm still sitting here safely is all thanks to you. So, what reward do you want?"

"I want you to get better soon."

……

That evening, Mu Chenxi developed a fever again.

He had an IV drip in his hand, his face was a little flushed, and he was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy.

"Mu Chenxi, how are you? Still 39.2 degrees Celsius... Why hasn't it come down yet? I'll go get the doctor!"

Just as Zhou Yu got up to leave, the weak woman on the bed grabbed his hand.

He turned his head to look behind him and saw Mu Chenxi smiling slightly, looking weak and listless, "Don't go, sit here and keep me company."

Zhou Yu said with concern, "But you still have a fever."

Mu Chenxi saw him slowly pull her closer, "The doctor said it's normal, don't worry."

Zhou Yu dared not exert any force, fearing he might reopen her wound, so he could only sit down on the bed following her movements.

"Have a chat with me," Mu Chenxi said.

"What are you talking about..."

Just as Zhou Yu was about to ask, he met the woman's eyes, which were staring straight at him. He thought for a moment, then casually started a conversation, "Um, why did that male nurse from this morning try to harm you?"

Unexpectedly, the first question he asked was about this matter. Mu Chenxi was silent for a moment, but still told him the whole story.

Zhou Yu listened with trepidation, patting his chest with lingering fear, "Luckily I was quick-witted enough to save your life. But what about your second uncle? We have witnesses and evidence now, and there's also that male nurse's child. Shouldn't we help him save his child first, and then settle accounts with your second uncle?"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Mu Chenxi's phone rang.

Mu Chenxi said, "Answer it."

After Zhou Yu answered the call, he put it on speakerphone.

The assistant's respectful voice came through the phone, "Mr. Mu, the matter has been taken care of."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenxi looked at the boy sitting on the edge of the bed and said gently, "It's resolved, the child has been rescued."

Zhou Yu was stunned, almost swearing in surprise, "Mu Chenxi, are we from the same world? Your efficiency is too high!"

What happened this morning, and it's not even the second day yet, and they've already rescued the person with lightning speed?!

Mu Chenxi said without any modesty, "Heh... Don't you even know who your wife is? There are many more you haven't seen."

Two weeks later, Mu Chenxi was discharged from the hospital.

Yan Hao never appeared again, and the entire Yan family disappeared from Yuncheng.

As for his second uncle, Mu Tingshen, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional injury, as well as for all the other crimes he had committed over the years.

He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

After that, Mu Chenxi and Zhou Yu held a grand wedding that amazed the world. It was no longer a charade, but a wedding that belonged only to them.

In the days following the wedding, they began preparing for their honeymoon.

Mu Chenxi even took a month and a half vacation, leaving the company behind.

This was the first day of Mu Chenxi and Zhou Yu's honeymoon.

They planned a romantic trip to Paris.

Inside the Mu family villa, Zhou Yu was standing in front of the mirror, pondering which clothes to change into, when he immediately spotted Mu Chenxi's furtive figure in the mirror.

Immediately, Zhou Yu turned his head and said, "Mu Chenxi, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes? The plane is about to take off."

Mu Chenxi smiled and stepped forward, hugging the boy from behind. Her voice was soft and charming, "It's okay, it's a private jet. Even if we arrive in the middle of the night, he'll have to wait for us."

Zhou Yu frowned in displeasure. "Didn't you just buy a ticket? Why are you complaining about wasting money? A private jet, even if you have money, you shouldn't be so extravagant."

Mu Chenxi had been waiting for him to say that, so she immediately held up a stack of bank cards she had prepared beforehand in front of him. "In that case, you can keep my salary card for me and give me pocket money on time every month from now on!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

This is not the first time.

During this time, Mu Chenxi seemed to be possessed by something, constantly pestering him to manage the money.

But the Mu Group is too big. It manages Mu Chenxi's salary card and assets. How could he dare to do that?

Although he and Mu Chenxi are already married, it's still not a good thing.

Besides, it's not like he's not making money; he can just spend it on himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu patted her hand and said, "You can keep your belongings safe. Take these bank cards with you, and also keep those property deeds you left on my table safe. What if they get lost?"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, Mu Chenxi's face darkened again.

She hugged Zhou Yu's waist tighter, her tone tinged with a hint of grievance, "Honey, don't you love me anymore? You haven't fallen for someone else, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's face darkened, and he became somewhat displeased. "Mu Chenxi, what do you mean? You're already doubting me right after we got married?"

Mu Chenxi pursed her lips and accused, "Then why don't you manage the money? Other husbands keep their wives' salary cards. Do you think I don't have enough money? Why don't you keep my card?"

Zhou Yu: "...There are such despicable requests in the world."

Other husbands manage their wives' bank cards, but if he doesn't want them, does that mean he doesn't love her?

Zhou Yu was convinced by this logic.

Finally, after much pleading and cajoling from Mu Chenxi, Zhou Yu trembled as he accepted the items from the woman's hands.

Mu Chenxi showed no grief at losing her allowance; instead, she appeared to be in a good mood. "Honey, I promise I don't have any secret stash of money anymore; it's all with you."

Holding a stack of cards that he couldn't hold in one hand, Zhou Yu felt immense pressure. "So, how much pocket money should I give you each month?"

Mu Chenxi said with a clear face, "No need, just reimburse my expenses."

Zhou Yu: "..." Good grief!

Reimbursing Mu Chenxi's expenses is a bottomless pit!

After all that trouble, the scheduled boarding time had long passed.

Mu Chenxi and Zhou Yu dawdled as they dragged their suitcases. They were already late, and this woman insisted on a kiss before she would leave the house.

At the airport, the two held hands and walked together through the passageway onto the plane.

Finally, the plane taxied on the runway and took off, like a seagull skimming across the sea, soaring into the blue sky...

Zhou Yu and Mu Chenxi held hands and leaned against each other, both determined that no matter where their future led them, the destination would surely be the shore of happiness.
