Chapter 120: Belong Only To Her (1)

Time was short, so the two of them quickly changed their clothes and started the performance.

Ye Sui sat on the wooden barrel she would use as the tub for this scene. She was dressed in all black, as if she wore no clothes. It was inevitable that a person would have to play several different characters with different personalities, so she closed her eyes and took a few seconds to get into her role.

Her expression was lazy, her eyes were half closed with a cold gaze, and her voice was faint as she called out, “Who’s there?”

Unlike the cold-faced assassin that Pei Ning had portrayed, Ye Sui’s assassin was a complete enchantress.

The window was pushed open and Pei Ning jumped in. With a tap of her toes, she landed stably on the ground.

Pei Ning had acted in many action scenes; however, when she auditioned this time, she wanted to have light and ethereal movements. She had studied Ye Sui’s expression just now, and her own expression changed to copy her.

But contrary to Pei Ning’s expectations, Ye Sui didn’t look at her straight on. Rather, she just cast a sidelong glance at her.

Ye Sui didn’t even lift her eyes. It seemed that no one could disturb her bath, and she did not care whether the person who suddenly appeared could hurt her.

Ye Sui was a female assassin, so she could deal with the toughest martial artists if they appeared in front of her without even changing her expression.

Ye Sui’s lips curled up as she let out a chuckle. “Since you are here, do you think you could leave that easily?”

“I’m just a thief, nothing more.” Pei Ning smiled, with an eye-catching look. She tried to imitate Ye Sui’s carelessness, but she was not as successful.

“Do you know who I am?” Ye Sui said, gently picking up a white cloth towel. She slowly wiped her hand, but the motion seemed to be more than simply wiping her body.

Instead, it was like a hunter polishing her weapons.

Ye Sui and Pei Ning still did not make eye contact. Pei Ning stepped forward and shortened the distance between the two in a bid to overpower her.

“Your hands are so beautiful. It would be a shame to kill you.” Pei Ning’s hand fell lightly onto her dagger. Although her tone was soft, the dagger at her waist was already out of its sheath.

There was a sharp contrast between their relaxed tone and the stiffening atmosphere.

Ye Sui finally raised her head at the sound of the dagger being unsheathed.

Her gaze flicked across Pei Ning’s face, past her knife, and then back to her face. She then raised her hand slightly, showing her slender fingers.

Ye Sui smiled softly and told the truth to the stranger who she had just met tonight. “Even I have never counted the souls reaped by these hands.”

“Oh?” Pei Ning raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, and reached toward the bottle on the table. “I’m just here for a drink. Why would you get angry?”

Pei Ning’s eyes flashed as she raised the wine bottle and took a sip. She then gently brushed the corners of her lips with her fingers. She wanted to express a sultry attitude of having just finished drinking, but her movements seemed artificial.

But to Pei Ning’s surprise, when she finished drinking, Ye Sui had already appeared in front of her.

Ye Sui tilted her head and laughed. There was something evil in the smile, and the image of a demon was ready to emerge. She did not draw her own dagger but took the wine bottle in Pei Ning’s hand.

“I don’t recall giving you permission to move things here.”

By the end of the audition, Ye Sui had totally suppressed Pei Ning, from beginning to end.

Everyone could see that Pei Ning’s character imitated Ye Sui’s from before, but Ye Sui had created a new female assassin.

Other auditioning actors had been waiting outside, so Director Zhou waved his hand. “Enough, both of you go back and wait for the announcement.”

A few days later, Huarui got the news that Ye Sui and Pei Ning had both been cast in the ‘Besieged on All Sides’.

Originally, Pei Ning wanted to play the role of heroine. However, not only had she become a supporting role, but she was also paired up with Ye Sui. Even if Ye Sui was the star of Huarui, Pei Ning couldn’t swallow this.

Pei Ning’s agent notified the marketing team and released the news that Pei Ning might appear in ‘Besieged on All Sides’. When the time came to announce Ye Sui as the heroine, Pei Ning could also gain sympathy without appearing miserable.

The official blog of ‘Besieged on All Sides’ announced the actors’ list, with Ye Sui as the female assassin and Pei Ning as the female thief. Sure enough, as Pei Ning expected, public opinion favored her.

Both of them were popular actresses and had won the film queen award with international fame. But why did Ye Sui become the heroine instead of Pei Ning?

Chapter 120: Belong Only To Her (2)

Some people recalled the recent news. It was rumored that Ye Sui had a relationship with the Chen Family, but later on, due to insufficient evidence, the matter was left unresolved.

There was no fire without wind. Could it be that Ye Sui’s ability to pressure Pei Ning and becoming a female star of Huarui was because the Chen Family was her backer?

Public opinion simmered all afternoon.

Later, the official Weibo of ‘Besieged on All Sides’ released footage of Ye Sui and Pei Ning’s auditions. The two auditions were in sharp contrast.

There were two roles, the assassin and the female thief. One was the main lead, while the other was a supporting character.

Ye Sui and Pei Ning had totally different personalities. As long as one saw the video, they could discern that Ye Sui’s performance was significantly better.

Huarui did not favor Ye Sui at all. Both of them were sent to the audition at the same time, but in the end, Director Zhou decided on Ye Sui.

“Pei Ning’s acting skills really seem to be lacking. First time in the same video as Ye Sui and she is completely overshadowed.”

“Ye Sui’s acting is so popular. Despite being a few years younger than Pei Ning, she will be the female lead star of Huarui in the future.”

“Pei Ning’s many years in the entertainment industry are not just for show. She is the most valuable actress in the world, and her status is not so easily replaced.”

After analysis, the netizens concluded that the rumors of Ye Sui snatching Pei Ning’s role were pure hype.

Most likely, Pei Ning’s team was the culprit. She was dissatisfied with losing the female lead position, and she even schemed against Ye Sui, who was from the same company.

After participating in the audition, Ye Sui rested for a few days and stayed at home. When Chen Shu left for work, she was the only one left at home.

Ye Sui planned to go to the company and have lunch with Chen Shu.

To show her sincerity, Ye Sui decided to make a bento by herself. Ye Sui and Chen Shu were usually very busy, and she also rarely cooked. This time, it would be a surprise for him.

As soon as Chen Shu left, Ye Sui took out the ingredients she had bought yesterday. She wanted to replenish Chen Shu’s body, so she made an eel bento for him.

The whole bento box was full of eels, without any gaps.

The other bento was a love bento, and since it was meant to show her love, it must be decorated.

Ye Sui didn’t give these things much thought before. She would eat them, regardless of their looks. However, since she fell in love, she also did what other lovers had done.

Ye Sui sat at the dining table and began to decorate the rice with love and care. She specially picked red carrots and dotted them in the center of the lunch box.

After making the bento, Ye Sui was in a good mood. She delightfully hummed a tune as she got into the car.

Ye Sui was now an artist of Huarui, so she could get in and out as much as she wanted. There would be no scandals.

Ye Sui didn’t inform Chen Shu about her visit. Instead, she gave Wang Chuan a call. When her car arrived at the parking lot, Wang Chuan came down to pick her up.

“Madam.” Wang Chuan subconsciously called out the nickname he had made in his own head when he saw Ye Sui coming over. Once Wang Chuan finished speaking, he was stunned.

Ye Sui was also dumbfounded, and she didn’t react for a while. Eventually, she smiled. “Just call me Ye Sui. After all, I am also a Huarui’s artist.”

Wang Chuan also broke out into a smile. He noticed Ye Sui carrying a big bag and immediately reached out to pick it up. “Is this for President Chen?”

When Wang Chuan picked up the bag, he suddenly felt that his arm gave out. ‘Is it filled with weights? Why is it so heavy?’

‘How did Madam bring it here so easily just now?’

Ye Sui’s mind was full of Chen Shu, so she didn’t notice the weight on her arms at all. However, upon seeing Wang Chuan in trouble, she wanted to take it back.

Wang Chuan quickly backed away. How could he make the madam look down upon him?

Ye Sui smiled embarrassedly. “I made a lunch box for Chen Shu.”

Chapter 120: Belong Only To Her (3)

Wang Chuan felt the heavy bento in his hands. Madam really loved President Chen deeply. The lunch box was heavier than any other he had seen.

He took a breath and sniffed the air. It seemed that there was the smell of eel.

Fortunately, the elevator quickly reached Chen Shu’s floor, and Ye Sui took the lunch box back. “Thank you.”

After Wang Chuan sent off Ye Sui, he returned to the office. However, he couldn’t bear a bachelor’s loneliness, so he turned around and told Cheng Sheng the news.

Ye Sui didn’t know that her bento would be envied by them for a long time. She knocked on the door of Chen Shu’s office.

The next second, a deep and masculine voice sounded. “Come in.”

When Ye Sui pushed the door open and entered, Chen Shu was still looking down at the documents in front of him, not knowing that his wife was here to surprise him.

Chen Shu noticed that the person who came in hadn’t spoken at all for a long time, so he looked up suspiciously. As soon as his gaze fell on Ye Sui, his eyes immediately brightened.

He got up from his seat and rushed over to Ye Sui. “Why are you here?”

Ye Sui smiled while teasing him. “Is President Chen not going to have lunch?” As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Sui shook the bento in her hand.

She then put the two bentos on the table. “Both are for you.”

Chen Shu had never had lunch with Ye Sui in his office. Understandably, he felt very strange. He opened the lid curiously like a child opening a gift.

Chen Shu opened the eel bento first. Just as he opened the lid, the smell permeated the entire office.

“Try it,” Ye Sui said, handing him a pair of chopsticks.

Chen Shu took a bite of the eel. Ye Sui’s cooking skills were good. He immediately nodded in approval. “It’s delicious.” Even if she only brought him white rice, Chen Shu would praise her without blinking.

Ye Sui pointed to the other bento with anticipation. “Now, check out this one.”

Chen Shu carefully opened the lid; the lunch box was full of white rice, with a heart made of carrots in the middle.

Just as Chen Shu was about to compliment her, Ye Sui suddenly sighed and said in an annoyed manner, “Am I a fool? How are you going to eat white rice with only carrots?”

The plain white rice only had one decoration. Besides, it was a large amount for one person.

“Why can’t it be eaten?” Chen Shu carefully put the carrot bento in front of himself. He then pushed the eel one to Ye Sui’s hand. “I’ll eat this; you eat the eel.”

Chen Shu ate the white rice with the chopsticks. He was meticulous to avoid the heart in the middle, not wanting to destroy it.

When Ye Sui saw Chen Shu’s pitiful bento, she felt her heart breaking. She had packed a lot of eels, enough for them to eat together. Hence, she picked up a big piece of eel with her chopsticks and placed it in the center of the heart.

Before Chen Shu had time to stop her, he saw Ye Sui cut the heart he had carefully maintained.

With a complicated expression, Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui. She was passing the eel with carrot and rice to his mouth.

“Eat up. There’s no need to save it. We have plenty of eels,” she said. Chen Shu was a blockhead in romance, but Ye Sui was the one destroying the mood.

Chen Shu looked at the heart, which was beyond recognition. He could only pretend to be unemotional and swallow the eel rice that his wife held out.

When they were about to finish eating, Ye Sui suddenly realized something was wrong.

A red handkerchief was floating in the air, falling slowly in the direction Chen Shu was sitting.

“President Chen, I have admired you for a long time.” Holding the red handkerchief was a ghost in an ancient costume. She came closer to Chen Shu step by step.

Although she was afraid of Chen Shu’s Yang energy, she could not help confessing to him.

Next to Chen Shu sat a living Ye Sui, who was being ignored. Ye Sui smiled angrily before pinching Chen Shu, the “culprit’s” arm.

Chen Shu raised his eyes and looked at Ye Sui. He didn’t know why she suddenly pinched him.

Ye Sui sighed in her heart. How could this person be so handsome even with a confused expression? No wonder even female ghosts wanted to be with him.

She pointed at the empty air where the ghost woman stood. “Your peach blossom debt.” [1]

Chen Shu looked in the direction of Ye Sui’s fingers. The floating handkerchief stopped in midair because of Chen Shu’s aura, but it then continued to move forward hesitantly.

The next second, the handkerchief was thrown over lightly, and it fell on top of the two bentos.

The ghost twirled her hair and said, “My handkerchief has fallen. Can you help me pick it up?”

Chapter 120: Belong Only To Her (4)

Although Chen Shu couldn’t see the ghost, he could hear her voice. However, even if the voice was euphemistic and moving, it couldn’t influence his heart.

Because Chen Shu’s sight had fallen on the two bentos, which were covered with the handkerchief.

This was the first time Ye Sui had ever made lunch for him, and it was made with love. He was still thinking about eating and savoring it slowly until there was not a grain of rice left.

But now, it was a mess. ‘How dare the ghost drop her handkerchief on the bento?’

Chen Shu’s expression suddenly sank, his brows and eyes went cold, and fury was brewing on his face. He picked up the handkerchief on the lunch box with a disgusted look.

The female ghost’s eyes lit up, thinking that Chen Shu was going to take her handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shu grabbed a corner of the handkerchief and threw it to the ground without hesitation. The female ghost’s heart instantly shattered into pieces.

Chen Shu held out his hand for Ye Sui, complaining at the same time, “My hands have been dirtied, and so has our lunch.”

Ye Sui held back her smile. She took out a wet tissue from her bag and held it out to Chen Shu. He didn’t accept it, though, silently asking her for help.

Ye Sui almost laughed out loud. How could her Chen Shu become even more loving?

She helped him wipe his hands little by little, until every finger was wiped clean. Under Chen Shu’s sad eyes, she closed the lid of the lunch box.

Ye Sui understood the expression in Chen Shu’s eyes. Still, she was afraid that he would continue to eat. “This bento can no longer be eaten. The handkerchief has been around for many years. Who knows if it ever was washed.”

Chen Shu could treat the female ghost in such a way, but when Ye Sui maligned her, the female ghost wouldn’t take it lying down. She immediately wiped her tears away.

“Of course, I have washed this handkerchief. Don’t slander me in front of President Chen.”

Look, even ‘this slave’ no longer needs to use it.

Tl/n: the ghost before use ‘this slave (奴家)’ instead of ‘I (我)’ in the Chinese language.

Ye Sui didn’t care about a ghost girl’s little thoughts. Her husband belonged to her. If she wanted to do this, she would do it.

Ye Sui gently grabbed Chen Shu’s tie and pulled him in. She then pointed to her mouth and said, “Hubby, kiss me.”

She could act a bit coquettish, couldn’t she?

The coldness between Chen Shu’s eyebrows immediately vanished, and a smile bloomed in his eyes. The next second, he leaned in slightly and kissed Ye Sui’s lips.

“It’s broad daylight, so immoral.” The ghost quickly picked up her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and floated out of the office.

Once the annoying female ghost left, the office instantly turned quiet.

Ye Sui whispered in Chen Shu’s ear, “Chen Shu, is the office quieter?”

Before Ye Sui finished speaking, Chen Shuhad pulled her close and kissed Ye Sui’s lips again, not allowing her to leave.

Sure enough, she couldn’t provoke Chen Shu casually. When Ye Sui was leaving the office, her lips were swollen from the kiss. She had to take out a mask from her bag and put it on.

If she got in the elevator this way, she could guarantee that she wouldn’t have to wait until tomorrow for rumors to spread. Everyone in the company would know that Huarui artist Ye Sui’s lips were swollen because she was kissed by President Chen in his office.

Ye Sui glared at Chen Shu accusingly. She hadn’t been wearing a mask when she came, but she would have to as she went back. If she was seen by others in this state, it would not be hard for them to connect the dots.

Knowing Ye Sui’s mind, Chen Shu moved quickly to arrange the bento boxes on the table. “I will send you downstairs.”

Ye Sui followed Chen Shu out of the office and happened to bump into Wang Chuan stepping out of the elevator. He was holding a document that Chen Shu had asked him to sort out yesterday.

The first thing Wang Chuan noticed was the mask on Ye Sui’s face, but Wang Chuan, who had always been dull, didn’t even question it. He thought that since Chen Shu was going to send Ye Sui downstairs personally, she had to hide her face for fear of being discovered.

“President Chen, I’ll put the file on your desk.” Wang Chuan saw Chen Shu and Ye Sui together, and he knew better than to be a third wheel.

Chen Shu nodded. “I’ll send Ye Sui down first. She can’t lift heavy things.”

Wang Chuan glanced at the bento box in Chen Shu’s hand. ‘How heavy could an empty bento box be? President Chen, if you wanted to send the madam downstairs, you could just say it. There’s no need for excuses.’

Ye Sui once again noticed the ghost girl beside the elevator. She had not left yet, but as soon as she heard Chen Shu’s words, she drifted away from the elevator with grief and indignation.

The ghost swished away, moving through Wang Chuan’s body. Wang Chuan felt a cool breeze for a moment, but then it was gone.

Ye Sui took a look at Wang Chuan, who didn’t know any better. He certainly didn’t know that he had been in close contact with a ghost girl just now.
