For the first time, Lang Que felt that the smile on Qu Su was so annoying.

He took the contract from her, looked through it, and sneered.

"You've been with me for three years, yet your perception still remains superficial?" The man furrowed his brow, speaking in a chilly tone, "Can a paltry sum of money bring you so much pleasure?"

"What you get paid for completing a project is not nearly enough to cover the half month's allowance I give you."

"Over the years, Huo's Group has primarily invested in the entertainment industry in terms of cash flow. Even if you manage to secure the position of chief designer, your potential earnings might not be substantial."

Businessmen valued profit a lot.

In Lang Que's opinion, it was a total loss.

"It's not about the money. What matters is that I have a job." Qu Su said with a slight smile, "Even the most insignificant amount of money is an opportunity. It is far more valuable than empty promises and unfulfilled commitments."

"Mr. Lang, you wouldn't want to be known for mistreating your wife in the end, would you?"

Even with just the alimony received from the divorce settlement, Qu Su was fortunate enough to maintain a comfortable lifestyle surpassing that of the average individual, ensuring she was no longer burdened by financial worries.

She put in a great deal of effort to secure this job, not only to create obstacles for Su Nian, but also to realize her own worth.

Lang Que still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Qu Su, "Don't try to persuade me. After all, money can't buy my happiness. I'm willing to do business at a loss."

There were many companies with potential in the country. The reason why Qu Su chose the Huo's Group was that she knew the strained relationship between Huo Jingqi and Lang Que.

Could she really let Lang Que spend time with his lover while forbidding her from working for his archenemy?

Suddenly, the phone rang from her exquisite handbag.

Ignoring the man's cold expression, Qu Su answered the phone.

"Ququ, you should quickly go online and browse!" Jin Shixuan yelled through the phone, her anger evident, "Didn't I warn you about Lang Que's paramour being a bad influence?"

"How dare she slander you on the Internet!"

Jin Shixuan asked anxiously, "What did she mean when she said you took her project?"

"Only a fool like Lang Que would be interested in the designs she came up with!"

It was too late for Qu Su to mute the speaker.

She hung up the phone in a hurry and pretended to glance at the man casually.

Lang Que looked gloomy, "Why didn't you let her finish?"

Three years of married life had taught Qu Su that this was an indication of her husband's rage.

But Qu Su didn't want to give in at all, "She's not wrong."

Lang Que glanced at Qu Su with his sharp eyes, causing her heart to become heavy and stop breathing for a moment.

However, in a mere instant, Qu Su's smile returned, "Miss Su is indeed not easy to deal with."

"Let me check out her latest trick this time."

She didn't want to look straight into his cold eyes, so she simply lowered her eyes.

The light on the phone screen flickered briefly before the phone was snatched and hurled to the ground.

Seeing the broken cell phone screen on the ground, Qu Su raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Lang, what are you doing? Changing my new cell phone again? It pains me deeply to spend your money."

Qu Su laughed inattentively, concealing the throbbing pain within her, "Well, never mind. Let's just take it as an apology from you for Miss Su."

The man stared straight into her eyes and did not notice anything unusual.

"I underestimated you." Lang Que sneered in a low voice, "How could a person like you take the rumors online seriously?"

After being with her for three years, his callous woman had never shown any concern for him.

If he hadn't stopped her just now, Qu Su would have watched the news as a farce and laughed.

Furthermore, she would taunt the online community for gradually losing their proficiency in verbal invective.

"Mr. Lang, you know me quite well." The phone on the ground kept ringing, but Qu Su pretended not to hear it.

She took the initiative to put her arms around the man's neck, "Then you should know that I won't just stand there and take a beating."

She was clearly smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.

"Lang Que, you should go and remind Miss Su..."

"It's not good to push people too hard. Comparable to a rabid dog, it could potentially lash out at anyone."

To possibly enhance credibility, Qu Su lowered her head into Lang Que's embrace and firmly bit his Adam's apple, causing the distinct scent of blood to permeate the air.

Her lipstick smudges and teeth indentations were left on his Adam's apple.

Qu Su really used all her strength.

Lang Que did not make a sound, as if she was not biting him.

Looking at the woman's fluffy head, his eyes flickered slightly.

Lang Que pressed his lips against her rosy mouth and bestowed upon her a rare smile, "You're nothing but a rebellious pup."

"I'll handle Su Nian's matter." He said with a smile that flickered across his face "Keep your hands off her."

Upon hearing this, Qu Su felt an icy chill seep into her heart, as if she had been cast into an unyielding abyss of frigidity. However, she dared not show any signs of worry, "Bored. You certainly have a strong protective instinct for Miss Su."

Qu Su tried to loosen her arms, but she was captured by the man and fell uncontrollably on his strong chest.

His scent was cool and fragrant, captivating her.

Qu Su averted her gaze, concealing the unusual glimmer in her eyes, "Lang Que, the gravest error you've committed in your life is your sheer blindness."

She may have sounded casual, but in reality, Qu Su summoned up great courage. "Considering that you have someone as outstanding as me, your former wife, right in front of you, why do you harbor deep feelings for a scheming girl who only knows how to feign helplessness?"

"Are childhood sweethearts really that captivating?" Her nonchalant words carried a subtle sense of apprehension.

Qu Su's mind would become filled with confusion whenever she found herself immersed in midnight dreams.

How could Su Nian possess such power to make this ruthless man yearn for her relentlessly?

What aspect of her was inferior to a scheming girl on earth?

She lifted her gaze slightly and examined the tightly pressed lips of Lang Que.

After a long while, he did not speak, yet the intensity of gloominess in his gaze consistently intensified.

His thin lips quivered as if he yearned to say something, but Qu Su suddenly lost the courage to hear his words, "Regardless, we are headed towards divorce. Your business has nothing to do with me! Driver, please halt the car up ahead."

She pushed the man away and kept a certain distance from him.

Simultaneously, she reclaimed her phone and stated, "That scheming girl has put me in a foul mood. I must make amends for today's distress by shopping with my closest friend."

"Mr. Lang, don't forget to transfer the payment for the new phone to my card." She lifted her chin slightly, always carrying an air of nobility and arrogance.

Qu Su always looked relaxed, "By the way, help Miss Su to pay for my mental damage."

Lang Que slightly frowned, but still didn't say a word.

Then, her phone rang.

After tallying the trailing zeros, Qu Su's smile widened even more, "Mr. Lang, you are really magnanimous."

She closed the door and got out of the car without any reluctance.

Lang Que rolled down the car window, staring at her graceful figure, his thumb pressing against his furrowed brow.

It was not until the graceful figure completely disappeared from his sight that Lang Que finally opened his mouth, "Go back to the old house."

However, after turning a corner, Qu Su did not head straight to the shopping mall.

The almost stiff smile on her face finally faded away.

Qu Su randomly found a cafe and browsed Weibo.

Good heavens!

Her inbox was about to be flooded with private messages!
