Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 31.3

And now, not only had she returned, but she was by President Shen’s side—and their clothes even resembled couple outfits! Throughout the day, Sui Yu stayed obediently within three meters of Shen Jueshu, never straying farther.

Seeing this, everyone in the company had the same question in their heads: How did President Shen manage to train her? How did she turn this infamous flirt into a devoted, puppy-like companion with eyes only for her?

Fortunately, the two women were blissfully unaware of the wild gossip swirling among their coworkers. If they knew, they’d probably both have three black lines hanging from their foreheads. What on earth were these people thinking all day?

“Director Sui…” A sudden voice called out to Sui Yu.

She stopped and looked over. The speaker was an elderly man with greying hair but a straight posture—Board Member Yuan, one of the largest shareholders in the company besides Shen Jueshu and herself.

“Grandpa Yuan,” Sui Yu greeted sweetly. It was a safe and respectful title—this man had been on good terms with her late grandfather.

Board Member Yuan nodded and then glanced at Shen Jueshu, who had also stopped in her tracks. He suddenly smiled warmly at them both, patted Sui Yu’s shoulder, and said, “If your grandfather could see you like this, he would finally rest in peace. Now that you’re married, it’s time to settle down and live properly. Stop chasing after those shady people.”

Hearing this elder’s advice, Sui Yu felt a little embarrassed and nodded repeatedly, agreeing to everything he said. She played the role of the prodigal daughter returning home perfectly.

Pleased with her response, Board Member Yuan smiled even more warmly. After exchanging a few words with Shen Jueshu about company matters, he took his leave.

After he left, Shen Jueshu turned to Sui Yu with a thoughtful look in her eyes. “You say Miss Jiang is suited for acting, but I think you’re not bad at it yourself.”

That performance just now—who wouldn’t say she was a sincere, reformed woman?

At her teasing, Sui Yu huffed, “That’s just how you deal with people!”

In other words—speak to humans like a human, speak to ghosts like a ghost.

Shen Jueshu merely gave her a sidelong glance before heading toward her office.

Seeing her leave, Sui Yu hurried after her.

When Qin Qing saw the two of them, she gave them a few extra glances, a complicated expression in her eyes. As an Omega, she was naturally sensitive to pheromones—and she could clearly detect the pheromone aura enveloping both of them, without it affecting anyone else.

Are they showing off their relationship?

That thought suddenly popped into Qin Qing’s mind. Thinking back to the mini-program Shen Jueshu had asked her to develop a while ago—was it meant to monitor whether Sui Yu was seeing anyone else?

She ran her fingers over the folder in her hands, unable to make sense of it. Shen Jueshu really didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do something like this for a lover.

Unaware of what Qin Qing was thinking, Sui Yu followed Shen Jueshu into the office. Watching her sit down and get to work, Sui Yu glanced down at the game open on her phone. No matter how she looked at it, she felt like she was being incredibly unproductive.

“Hey, is there anything I can help with?” Sui Yu asked awkwardly. She couldn’t just sit there watching Shen Jueshu work without lifting a finger—it felt wrong.

Shen Jueshu glanced at her, then silently placed her coffee cup in front of her.

Sui Yu was momentarily stunned. She had been referring to work, but evidently Shen Jueshu thought she should be fetching drinks instead. Still, it was something to do.

Fortunately, there was a pantry within the office itself—no need to go to the main break room. Without asking what kind of coffee she wanted, Sui Yu simply poured her a glass of milk and placed it on the right side of her desk, a little out of the way.

When Shen Jueshu saw the milk, she paused for a moment.

Seeing her reaction, Sui Yu blinked and said, “Coffee first thing in the morning isn’t good. Ages you faster.”

Shen Jueshu: “…” Her expression turned cold. Was this woman saying she looked old?

Sui Yu couldn’t figure out why her face suddenly darkened, but sensing the shift in mood, she wisely stepped back two paces. Maybe the best course of action for now was to quietly play the role of a freeloader. At least that way she wouldn’t mess anything up.

Naturally, Shen Jueshu noticed her retreat. The air around her grew heavier, almost as if the oppressive pressure had taken physical form—anyone who got close was bound to suffer.

Sui Yu: “…” Terrified.

She took a deep breath. If she weren’t in her susceptibility period, relying on Shen Jueshu’s pheromones to ease the discomfort, she would’ve turned and left already. Who’d willingly stick around someone this moody?

The entire office fell silent. All that remained was the sound of Shen Jueshu flipping through papers, scribbling notes, and the rhythmic tapping of her keyboard.

Amid this calm, Sui Yu stopped playing her game. For some reason, she felt inexplicably at ease. She lay quietly on the nearby sofa, watching Shen Jueshu work. Somehow, she seemed impossibly captivating in that moment.

No wonder people always said: There’s nothing more attractive than someone focused on their work.

Sui Yu didn’t even realize it herself, but a faint smile had crept onto her lips just from watching Shen Jueshu.

Eventually, the peaceful atmosphere lulled her into drowsiness. Her eyelids started to droop, and Shen Jueshu’s figure in her vision grew blurry. She vaguely noticed the sound of turning pages and keyboard clicks growing fainter.

Such a cozy environment… perfect for a nap.

Soon, her body began to feel warmer and more uncomfortable, but a cool wave of pheromonal relief enveloped her, soothing the discomfort. Sinking deeper into that comfort, she turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.

Shen Jueshu looked down at the peacefully sleeping Sui Yu and sighed softly.

Only now did she truly study her face—sharp features, thin lips, and peach blossom eyes. Yet while the original Sui Yu’s eyes had been filled with gloom and arrogance, this version’s gaze was clear and bright.

In fact, it was easy to tell them apart. Just looking into those eyes was enough.

Her snow-like pheromones continued to comfort the agitated Alpha in heat, though this Alpha, now fast asleep, looked like someone completely removed from her own turmoil.

Shen Jueshu’s expression shifted slightly, a trace of confusion surfacing in her eyes. How has someone so guileless managed to survive until now?

Once she confirmed that Sui Yu’s unstable pheromone levels had calmed, Shen Jueshu didn’t return to work immediately. She remained seated on the sofa, lost in thought.

This version of Sui Yu had somehow appeared in this world… but would she one day vanish again and return to her original one?

If that happened, she’d probably be happy, wouldn’t she? She never really seemed to like this world.

Shen Jueshu didn’t know how she came to that conclusion, but deep down, she was strangely certain of it.

Suddenly, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. Just as she was about to call out, she remembered someone was still asleep on the sofa, so she got up and walked to the door. Her gaze cooled as she opened it and saw Qin Qing standing outside.

Qin Qing seemed momentarily surprised that Shen Jueshu had come to the door herself. But when she caught a glimpse of someone lying on the sofa inside, a flicker of realization crossed her face.

“This is the information you asked me to look into,” Qin Qing whispered, handing over the file.

Shen Jueshu accepted it, glanced through a couple pages, and nodded. “Thank you.”

After closing the door, she finally began reviewing the materials in detail—information on the Sui family and Gu Ying that she had asked Qin Qing to investigate.

It started from Old Master Sui’s time and continued through to Sui Yu, compiling nearly everything the family had experienced over the years.

Although Shen Jueshu had said she’d go with the flow, that didn’t mean she had to act blindly. Investigating the Sui family was simply a way to learn more.

She started with the Sui family file, leaving Gu Ying’s to the side for now. The details were exhaustive—down to Old Master Sui’s height.

However, as she read further, Shen Jueshu’s brow began to furrow. The old man’s background appeared normal at first glance, but something felt… off. That sense only grew stronger when she got to the section about Sui Yu’s mothers.

Their behavior didn’t align with their established personalities. Something felt out of place. Especially the incident when one mother supposedly killed the other, then committed suicide when Sui Yu was sixteen—there was no clear explanation.

Some claimed one of them had cheated, and the other had killed her in a fit of emotional trauma, only to take her own life afterward out of guilt.

But Shen Jueshu didn’t believe it. Based on how detailed this report was, it was clear the two mothers had loved each other deeply. With that kind of bond, no third party could have come between them.

The whole event felt bizarre—like some invisible hand had orchestrated it all.

“Mm…”

Sui Yu stirred, blinking sleepily. When she saw Shen Jueshu sitting beside her, she yawned and asked, “What are you reading?”

Without looking up, Shen Jueshu turned a page and said calmly, “Your family’s file.”

Sui Yu: “…”

Her drowsiness disappeared instantly. She sat up and stretched, correcting her, “You mean the original Sui Yu’s family!”

“Oh.” Shen Jueshu didn’t even glance at her as she continued reading.

Sui Yu rolled her eyes. This woman was getting bolder and bolder with her invasiveness.

“I want to see too,” she said, scooting closer, genuinely curious about the original Sui Yu’s past.

Without even looking at her, Shen Jueshu reached out and shoved another file into her arms. “Start with this one.”

Sui Yu, who had just been face-palmed: “…”

She opened the folder to see Gu Ying’s personal profile and scoffed.

She really wanted to start with the Sui family one instead.

Flipping lazily through Gu Ying’s file, she found nothing particularly noteworthy—except maybe how ridiculously pretentious he’d been in middle school. Other than that, he seemed like a gentle, refined young man.

One photo from his school days showed him glaring sideways at people, looking as if he considered everyone beneath him. Combined with the rest, it felt like he was projecting the message: You foolish mortals!

Classic “everyone’s drunk but I’m sober” energy.

Sui Yu smirked. Honestly, it wasn’t surprising. Who didn’t have a cringe phase in their youth?

Gu Ying’s file wasn’t very long. After finishing it, she ignored Shen Jueshu’s attitude and scooted over to see what she was reading. She happened to catch the section about the original Sui Yu—and her curiosity was instantly piqued.

To get a better view, they had to sit very close—close enough to hear each other’s breathing, their scents mixing and interweaving.

Sui Yu didn’t notice anything unusual, but Shen Jueshu was beginning to feel uncomfortable. She inched away slightly, finally breathing easier once she escaped the overwhelming proximity. Sui Yu had breached her personal space one too many times.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Sui Yu frowned.

“If you move away, how am I supposed to read?” she said, leaning in again with a determined expression.

Seeing her approach again, Shen Jueshu’s expression turned cold. Her gaze sharpened.

That look made Sui Yu shiver. She felt like she’d just walked into a freezer.

“You know,” she said dryly, “with you around, who needs air conditioning? You are the cooling system.”

Shen Jueshu: “…”

She reached out and slapped the folder down onto Sui Yu’s lap with a loud thud, then stood up.

“You finish this.” And with that, she turned to leave.

Sui Yu blinked, stunned by the sudden reaction. Then her eyes narrowed in on something unusual.

Wait… were her ears a little red?

Her eyes widened.

“Shen Jueshu, are you blushing?!”
