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

Cold words pierce the heart.

Xu Xinran's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her expression instantly turned cold.

She walked up to Zhou Yu, one hand on the dining table and the other on the back of his chair. Her eyes revealed an unwavering determination as she looked down at him, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Are you really planning to spend the rest of your life with your wife with this attitude?"

"Wife?"

"Wife?" Zhou Yu repeated the word in a low voice, his tone full of sarcasm.

In his past life, he had used this word to address her countless times, but all he received in return was Xu Xinran's cold sarcasm.

Now, she's willing to acknowledge this identity, but she doesn't care about it anymore!

Xu Xinran gazed at Zhou Yu. Although his tone was not gentle, when he uttered the word "wife," a ripple involuntarily stirred in her heart.

But the next second, when she saw the indifference and mockery on Zhou Yu's face, her excitement was instantly shattered.

"In that case, I won't ask for your opinion. I will personally handle all the wedding arrangements. I promise, our wedding will be the grandest ever."

Xu Xinran's words carried an undeniable domineering air, her voice deep and ardent, seemingly capable of bewitching hearts, reaching straight to Zhou Yu's ears.

He didn't seem to care at all, slowly raising his head with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

After a long pause, he pursed his lips and said softly, "I don't need a dress, and I won't attend your so-called wedding. If you really want to prove something, just issue a statement."

This is enough.

Zhou Yu's eyes were calm as still water, showing no anticipation for the wedding whatsoever.

Xu Xinran frowned even more, her voice tinged with displeasure: "Are you that averse to weddings?"

Zhou Yu did not answer.

The painful experiences he had in prison in his past life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

They once had an enviable wedding, but what happened in the end?

"Only two people in love would long for a wedding, and we... obviously are not."

He stared at Xu Xinran, his eyes lifeless.

A profound look flashed in Xu Xinran's eyes.

She knew she couldn't push him any further.

"We can postpone the wedding for now, but what about the honeymoon? Where would you like to go? I'll make the arrangements."

Honeymoon?

Zhou Yu chuckled softly.

"A marriage without love has no need for a honeymoon. I've said it before, I'm not a pet you keep at home, and I'll go to the office as usual tomorrow."

After that, the two fell into a long silence.

That afternoon, a bombshell news story quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

As one of the wealthiest people in Yun City, Xu Xinran's marriage naturally attracted much attention. The news of her notarized marriage with Zhou Yu instantly dominated the headlines of major media outlets.

……

In a luxurious villa area on the outskirts of the city, Zhou Yuzhen stared intently at the television screen with burning fury in her eyes.

Shen Tianling sat beside his mother, his gaze also fixed on the news, his face full of jealousy and resentment.

He never dreamed that Xu Xinran would announce her marriage at this time, and that the groom would be Zhou Yu, who should have been dead!

"How is this possible?!" Shen Tianling muttered to himself in disbelief.

Snapped!

The teacup in Zhou Yuzhen's hand suddenly slammed to the ground, shattering into pieces. The ruthlessness in her eyes was chilling.

Shen Tianling was startled by his mother's sudden outburst of anger and quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Mom, don't get upset. It's not worth it for Zhou Yu!"

Zhou Yuzhen snorted coldly, a cruel smile appearing on her face, her eyes flashing with a sinister light.

"I can't believe that good-for-nothing Zhou Yu is still alive! He has no right to step into the Xu family's door. I will never let him get away with this!"

Seeing his mother's gritted teeth, Shen Tianling's doubts deepened: "Mom, you said he's not qualified? What do you mean?"

"Don't ask so many questions! Quickly call Zhou Ze over, I have something to tell him!"

Zhou Yuzhen looked at her son, her voice filled with an undeniable urgency.

Shen Tianling instantly realized the seriousness of the situation from his mother's unusual behavior.

He was extremely anxious, but dared not ask too many questions. He could only tentatively inquire, "Mom, did you call Zhou Zelai because you have some other plans? At this time, what role can he still play?"

Zhou Yuzhen narrowed her eyes slightly, a chilling light flashing in them, as if a cold aura surrounded her.

"That brat Zhou Yu was lucky to survive this time, so I'll send him to the afterlife again. This time, I'll make him disappear from this world completely!"
