After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.
What real power does Chapter 99 possess?
"I'll be happy as long as you both take this marriage seriously," Han Shuang said gently, her voice filled with concern. However, Qin Yu's face darkened instantly, his heart enveloped in a thick layer of responsibility and obligation.
"Mom, please don't worry about us." Qin Yu finally spoke, a sharp glint in his eyes. He looked Yu Yuetong up and down, his gaze filled with indescribable emotions, as if trying to see through her heart.
This intense duel resonated in the air, and the delicate relationship between the three became increasingly complex.
“I have a suggestion,” Yu Yuetong suddenly interjected, making the atmosphere even more awkward, “why don’t we let President Qin and Miss Ji communicate more and see what each other thinks? Wouldn’t that be beneficial to both of us?” She deliberately emphasized the word “beneficial,” thinking to herself that it would be better to let Ji Momo get caught up in her own game.
"What tricks are you playing?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, as if he could see through Yu Yuetong, and seemed somewhat disdainful of her words.
“Teaching you how to be friends with Miss Ji isn’t a trick.” Yu Yuetong’s face held a stubborn and defiant expression as she tried to challenge Qin Yu’s authority. “If we hadn’t switched bodies back then, perhaps you and I would have some kind of chemistry. Why don’t we give it a try?”
"But I don't want to try." Qin Yu's lips curled slightly upward, his tone carrying three parts disdain and seven parts amusement. "Aren't you afraid of causing more trouble?"
"Trouble? I'm not one to compromise easily." Yu Yuetong didn't back down, her mind racing as she pondered how to turn the situation around.
Just as the situation was about to reach its climax, the door opened, and the approaching footsteps grew increasingly clear. Everyone turned to look at the door, and the atmosphere instantly returned to silence.
"What's going on here?" Mo Qingcheng, dressed in a well-tailored suit, walked in with an enigmatic expression and an air of haughty arrogance. "I heard there was an argument. I haven't done anything, yet you're all fighting here?"
Ji Momo slightly lowered her voice to hide her inner unease, and was about to retort when Yu Yuetong spoke first: "It seems that as an old friend, what does Young Master Mo think about my marriage to President Qin?"
"That's interesting. I'm more curious about why you're willing to become President Qin's pawn." Mo Qingcheng smiled frivolously, but his eyes were fixed on her intently, as if he wanted to dissect her heart.
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat, sensing an even more difficult confrontation. Yet, her smile remained, while her heart was in turmoil. In this conflict destined to succumb to chaos, could she emerge victorious, or become a pawn mercilessly crushed?
Just as she was racking her brains, Mo Qingcheng's voice once again cut through the barrier like a knife: "Don't be too confident. After all, in the game, the roles of the chess piece and the chess player are not the same."
"What tricks are you playing?" Qin Yu's voice was deep and sinister, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to slice away every nerve in Yu Yuetong's body.
Yu Yuetong smiled slightly, her eyebrows unconsciously raising, cleverly concealing the anger in her heart beneath her smile. She retorted, "Do you think I'm joking with you? This is for the sake of both of our futures." She was secretly pleased with herself; despite being in adversity, she could still fight back.
"The future?" Qin Yu chuckled, a disdainful smile curving his lips. "You'd better know your place and not disappoint me." His words were like a cold, biting winter wind, stinging Yu Yuetong's face.
“There’s a place for you, and there’s a place for me. Who says we can’t switch places?” She glanced at Ji Momo, a morbid sense of pleasure rising within her, as if she could see through the latter’s struggle and unease.
The sudden opening of the door in the main room interrupted the tense situation. Mo Qingcheng walked in lightly like a gentle breeze, his expression as indistinct and unclear as ripples on water under the sunlight. He raised an eyebrow slightly, turned his gaze to Yu Yuetong, and said with a smile, "Are you discussing plans? I had no idea that plans were necessary after marriage."
Yu Yuetong's teasing contrasted sharply with Qin Yu's indifference. Being at the center of this power game, her inner vulnerability was quickly swallowed up, replaced by an even stronger belief in herself. "Of course! We really need to plan ahead, otherwise what will happen to our future children?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an unexpected pressure filled the room. Mo Qingcheng looked surprised, seemingly impressed with Yue Tong. He nodded slightly and teased, "At least your thoughtfulness deserves praise." Then he gave Qin Yu a playful smile, seemingly challenging his attitude towards marriage.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, exuding a warning aura, "This game isn't just about you happily reaping your future." His tone carried a threat, implying that things weren't as simple as everyone imagined.
"Hmph, you seem to have forgotten that I now wield power over both hands." Yu Yuetong's gaze defiantly met his; she had no intention of showing weakness in front of Qin Yu. Going with the flow was the best response, she thought to herself, if she was going to play, she might as well play it to the fullest.
"Your confidence truly leaves me speechless." Qin Yu's lips curled slightly upward, his cold voice carrying a hint of sarcasm. "You're nothing more than a pawn on the chessboard; what real power do you have to speak of?"
"Let's see who the real chess player is." Yu Yuetong's heart was racing. She pretended to be calm and composed, but she knew that her heart was already churning with emotions. It was just like the feeling she had when she first approached a roller coaster at the amusement park many years ago, instantly captivated by the thrill and excitement among the riders.
Mo Qingcheng was amused by the scene before him. He said softly, "Has President Qin been tricked by Xiao Yuetong? There's more to this than meets the eye." His words were laced with sarcasm, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.
A subtle tension filled the air, making the situation even more tense, as everyone tested who would be the final winner.
"If you can all do as I wish, perhaps this struggle will become even more interesting." Yu Yuetong's lips curled up slightly, and a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, adding a layer of charming mystery to her figure.
“For your future, I’m even willing to cooperate with Miss Ji.” Mo Qingcheng’s tone softened, but his eyes held a hint of provocation. “Of course, it would be even more perfect if I could accompany you on this journey with President Qin.”
Yu Yuetong was secretly delighted. She was only trying to protect her position and role. Just as she was about to retaliate, Qin Yu suddenly stood up and stared sharply at Yu Yuetong.
"Do you think you can always be reckless in this kind of game? Let me tell you, the wrong party will eventually pay the price." He seemed to hear the echo of a heartbeat in his ears, a sound so piercing that the whole world seemed to stand still.
