Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 61.2

After leaving the Sui estate, Sui Yu glanced at the online headlines.

She had expected that yesterday’s situation with Fu Xin would once again land her on the trending page—but to her surprise, everything was eerily quiet. Not a single ripple.

“…Did I scare them that badly?” she muttered.

Not that she was complaining. Honestly, it was a relief. She already had enough real problems to deal with—she didn’t need to clean up after every half-baked rumor too. If her actions had intimidated the media, that was only a win.

But while she was finally getting some peace, Jiang Bosheng was in freefall.

He had become the butt of the entire internet.

At this point, anyone who had even glanced at the news knew his name. Even those who didn’t would eventually ask, “Who’s this Jiang Bosheng?”—and then get the full rundown from the ever-eager comment section.

The reason? He’d been trending nonstop—for all the wrong reasons.

Take, for instance: #JiangBoshengGoesOmegaForAlphaKings

Clicking in, you’d find endless gossip claiming Jiang Bosheng—despite being an Alpha—went weak in the knees the moment he saw a muscular man. Some even claimed he acted more flirtatiously than the most coquettish Omega.

Dozens came forward, saying they’d personally been flirted with by him. Wild stories everywhere.

Or how about: #JiangBoshengTakesOnTheImpossibleChallenge

Click through and you’d find the real reason it trended: he’d apparently partied so hard he ended up hospitalized.

Sui Yu stared at the headlines in complete disbelief.

Where on earth had her bodyguards found such savage copywriters? Every article read like it had one mission: to utterly annihilate Jiang Bosheng’s public image. Honestly, she was beginning to wonder—was this her team’s personal vendetta… or did that writer have their own grudge?

With several back-to-back articles, sprinkled with vague but believable “eyewitnesses,” Jiang Bosheng’s name quickly became common internet fodder. He was now the center of mockery across the entire net.

Even bolder were the muscle-bound Alphas who started posting shirtless selfies, tagging Jiang Bosheng with messages like:
“Do I meet your standards?”
“Wanna hook up?”
“We’re dying to see how slutty an Alpha can really be.”

Sui Yu couldn’t help but be impressed. These people were fearless. Weren’t they worried Jiang Bosheng would lose it and come after them, using them as the first targets for revenge?

Still, she had to admit—this was the ABO world. Even the most outrageous, risqué stories could be discussed openly and shamelessly. There was no need to rely on veiled, euphemistic gossip like in other places.

Did she know this whole thing was kind of underhanded? Sure.
Did she feel bad, though? Not really.

Not when the person on the receiving end was Jiang Bosheng.

Especially now that his tax evasion case had officially been filed. Coupled with this nonstop media circus, Sui Yu could practically imagine him foaming at the mouth in rage.

Jiang Bosheng was Jiang Siyue’s older brother—and after his push to force Siyue into a political marriage had been exposed, public sentiment toward him was already in the gutter. Now with all these scandals coming out, Jiang Corp’s stock had been hitting the floor for several days in a row. The future looked bleak. Even if Jiang Bosheng wanted to turn things around, he’d find it nearly impossible.

Sui Yu arrived at the Suihe Tower, fully immersing herself in lab work again—desperate to clear out the noise in her head.

Maybe it was because there wasn’t anything worth looking forward to after work anymore, but these days, Sui Yu didn’t rush out of the lab like she used to. There was no one waiting for her when she clocked out.

She told Xia Ju and the rest of her team to leave for the day. Those Omegas… they were so hardworking and efficient, they could make any Alpha feel embarrassed.

Once they were all gone, Sui Yu remained alone in the lab, quietly passing the time. She figured she’d head back late and maybe call Shen Jueshu for a video chat.

What she didn’t expect was to receive a call from Shen Jueshu first.

Shen Jueshu: “Still at work? Auntie said you haven’t come home yet.”

Sui Yu: “…”
One sentence in and she already knew: the housekeeper hadn’t gotten over last night. Clearly still worried she’d go rogue, she’d now turned to subtle methods—like sending Shen Jueshu to keep an eye on her.

Sui Yu felt both amused and helpless. She replied, “I’m wrapping up now. No need to worry.”

Shen Jueshu let out a soft “mm,” and then said,
“No, I’m not worried. Worst case, your body collapses again, and you just check into the hospital like usual.”

Sui Yu: “…”
She heard that. That was shade. She was absolutely being mocked for being weak!

“I’m an Alpha, you know!” Sui Yu protested, indignant.
She had to be—she’d differentiated into one after arriving in this world. If she’d truly been weak, her second gender would’ve been Omega for sure!

The fact that she was an Alpha meant her physical stats weren’t that bad!

Shen Jueshu: “Mm. Sure. You’re an Alpha.”

Sui Yu: “…”
She pouted.

Fine, she couldn’t win this one. After all, her wife was tougher than she was. Shen Jueshu had every right to roast her.

Seeing that Sui Yu had gone quiet, Shen Jueshu knew her little puppy was sulking again. Her tone softened immediately, voice tender and warm.

“Be good, okay? Go home early, have dinner, take care of yourself. I’ll be back in a few days.”

“You’re coming back?!”
Sui Yu’s eyes lit up instantly. She didn’t hear a single word after “take care of yourself.” The only thing that registered in her mind was—Shen Jueshu was coming back.

“Yes, so behave. Don’t let me come back and find you lying in a hospital bed.”

“Absolutely not!”
Sui Yu’s voice brightened noticeably. After hanging up, she immediately changed clothes, humming as she left work. When she got home, the housekeeper hadn’t left yet and was just heating up the dishes right on time—so she even got to enjoy a hot meal.

Come to think of it, the housekeeper really had become her and Shen Jueshu’s biggest ally.

After dinner, Sui Yu went upstairs to wash up. Since she’d already video-called Jueshu earlier, there was no second call tonight—and strangely, it made her feel a little uneasy. After so long being able to see her every night, suddenly going without left a hollow feeling.

She picked up her phone to scroll for a bit, and when she opened her messaging app, she spotted Fu Xin’s icon.

Her mood immediately dimmed.

Maybe it was because she had told Fu Xin the day before that she needed time to think—but today, there hadn’t been a single message from her.
It was as if Fu Xin were giving her space… to make the final choice herself.

Sui Yu’s eyes lowered. In the end, she tossed the phone aside and didn’t feel like playing anymore.

Sometimes, she wondered—

If Shen Jueshu hadn’t been the main character of this world, if she and Jueshu had met in real life instead… would they still have fallen in love?

Would they have still ended up together?

She wasn’t so sure anymore.

If it hadn’t been for all the twists and turns of this world—if fate hadn’t brought them together, hadn’t given her a chance to see Jueshu up close—then someone like her, who had always thought of herself as straight in her past life… would she ever have figured it out?

The thought alone made her break into a cold sweat.
Even here, it had taken her so long to recognize her feelings.

If this had happened in her original world… she didn’t even want to imagine the outcome.
Even if they had eventually ended up together, it might’ve cost them years of time and missed chances.

She forced herself to stop overthinking.
Those hypotheticals would never happen now.

She was already here, in this ABO world.
There was no use entertaining “what ifs.”

From that day on, she began counting the days on her fingers.

Every morning when she opened her eyes, the first thought in her head was—I’m one day closer to seeing Shen Jueshu again.

On the fifth day, Jueshu finally messaged her:

“I land in Linhai at 3 p.m. tomorrow.”

What did that mean?

Of course it meant—“Come pick me up.”

Sui Yu replied immediately, promising she would.

The next morning, even though the flight wasn’t until the afternoon, she started getting ready bright and early.
They’d been apart for over half a month. Sui Yu missed her so much it ached—especially since she’d gone through her sensitivity period without her.

That round had been worse than her very first one in this world.
The craving, the emptiness, the constant exhaustion—it was like her whole body had been drained.

That experience had made one thing crystal clear to her:
She and Shen Jueshu really were bonded.
They couldn’t be apart for long—not without it hurting.

Just after lunch, as Sui Yu was about to get up and head to the airport, a message popped up from Fu Xin.

Fu Xin: Have you made your decision?

The joy that had been brimming inside her, the anticipation of seeing Shen Jueshu—it all dimmed in an instant.
A shadow crept over her heart.

Sui Yu: I’m still not sure.

A few seconds later, Fu Xin replied:

Fu Xin:
Sui Yu, from the way you’re speaking… I can tell you don’t have much time left.

Sui Yu took a deep breath and typed her reply:

Sui Yu: I know I don’t have much time left… but when you’ve truly loved someone, how can you just let go that easily? I really need more time to think.

Fu Xin:
Have you thought about me? If something really happens to you… what am I supposed to do?

After reading that message, Sui Yu didn’t respond.

She set her phone down and stared at the ceiling, her chest rising and falling sharply.

She never really managed to fall asleep during that lunch break. She kept her eyes open through the entire, dragging two hours. Eventually, she got up, splashed cold water on her face, did a quick touch-up, then went downstairs, bought a bouquet of flowers, and headed straight to the airport.

Today was the day Shen Jueshu was coming back.
Nothing—absolutely nothing—could ruin that for her.

She arrived at the airport right around 3 p.m. As soon as the announcement came through that Jueshu’s flight had landed, her heart leapt. Clutching the bouquet tightly, she waited for the person she had missed more than anything.

She didn’t have to wait long.

The moment Shen Jueshu appeared before her, Sui Yu was frozen. She’d waited over half a month for this person—and now that she was finally here, Sui Yu almost didn’t dare reach out.

Her nose turned red, and her voice was tinged with a soft sob,
“You really came back.”

“Mm,” Shen Jueshu replied gently. “I’m back.”

Sui Yu didn’t know why she was getting so emotional. It hadn’t even been that long since they’d seen each other… yet somehow, it had felt unbearable. It made her feel vulnerable, even wronged in a way she couldn’t explain.

She had never felt like this over anyone before.

“Shall we go home?” Shen Jueshu took her hand first, looking at this red-nosed Alpha with such softness in her eyes that it almost made Sui Yu melt on the spot.

“…Yeah.”
Sui Yu tightened her grip around her hand.

It was real. She could feel her. No longer separated by a cold screen.

Shen Jueshu got into the car with her. The moment the door closed behind them, Sui Yu leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek, then looked at her with glistening eyes.

The way she clung so gently to her was just like a loyal dog that had waited alone at home for its master to return—sniffling and whimpering, desperate for closeness.

It made Shen Jueshu’s heart soften completely.

This woman always knew exactly how to tug at her heartstrings.

“If you want to kiss me, why not aim a little better?” Shen Jueshu teased, lips curved into a smile, her eyes filled with warmth and indulgence.

Sui Yu saw that familiar look in her eyes—that quiet affection.
It reminded her of what the housekeeper once said: “Madam really does spoil you.”

Maybe… it really was true.

“I wanted you to kiss me.”
Sui Yu pouted, lips lightly pursed, clearly inviting her.

Shen Jueshu’s smile deepened. She reached out, gently pinching Sui Yu’s lips like a little duck bill.

“Hmm… I wonder if you’ll start quacking like a duck.”

Sui Yu’s eyes instantly widened. She stared at Shen Jueshu in disbelief—especially when she saw how gleefully the other was smiling. Her cheeks puffed up slightly in mock frustration, looking adorably sulky.

Seeing her like that only made Shen Jueshu more amused. But in the end, she didn’t keep teasing her. Instead, she leaned in and gently pressed a soft kiss to Sui Yu’s lips, whispering with a light, tender tone:

“Sui Yu… I missed you so much.”

That one kiss had already melted all of Sui Yu’s protest, but after hearing those words, her heart practically overflowed with warmth.
After all, who wouldn’t love hearing the person they loved say they missed them?

“I missed you too,” Sui Yu replied without any hesitation. She was no longer shy about saying sweet things like this.

Shen Jueshu chuckled softly and let Sui Yu drive them home. The moment they arrived, Jueshu headed straight upstairs to take a bath—her exhaustion evident.

To get back earlier, she’d pushed through over ten hours of nonstop meetings and a long-haul flight. At that point, all she wanted was to feel clean and collapse into bed for a good, deep sleep.

Sui Yu could see the fatigue lingering in her expression, so she didn’t disturb her. Once Shen Jueshu lay down, Sui Yu climbed onto the bed and began gently massaging her, helping her relax and unwind.

Under Sui Yu’s expert hands, Shen Jueshu truly let go and drifted off to sleep—completely unguarded, fully at peace.

Once Jueshu fell asleep, Sui Yu stopped massaging. She lay quietly beside her, watching her serene profile. Lifting a hand, she traced her outline in the air, trying to memorize every curve and feature—etching them into her mind.

With the comforting scent of Shen Jueshu surrounding her, Sui Yu slowly closed her eyes too.

It had been so long…
Finally, she could sleep peacefully again.

Neither of them knew how long they slept.
By the time they woke up, the sky outside was completely dark. A cool night breeze drifted in through the open window, keeping the room pleasantly fresh.

“Are you hungry?” Sui Yu asked, her voice still husky with sleep.

Shen Jueshu turned to face her and nodded, “A little.”

“Then let’s get dinner.”
Sui Yu sat up and stretched lazily. When she picked up her phone and checked the time, she was shocked to see it was already 9 p.m.
They’d slept for nearly five hours?

She was genuinely surprised.
She hadn’t expected to sleep that well or that long—especially during the afternoon. Afternoon naps usually left her groggy, full of dreams, and even more tired. But this time… she felt refreshed.

Both of them seemed more energized as they washed up and headed downstairs. The housekeeper had already left, but she had prepared their dinner in advance.

“You wait—I’ll warm it up,” Sui Yu said, walking to the kitchen.

“Okay.”
Shen Jueshu leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching her move around. Her eyes were soft, as if the rest of the world didn’t exist.

After reheating the dishes, Sui Yu brought everything to the table, served the rice, and finally sat down so they could enjoy their long-delayed dinner together.

“Mmm… the housekeeper really knows how to cook,” Sui Yu said while eating. “Even reheated, it’s still so delicious.”
Unlike her own cooking, which was… well, edible. Calling it tasty would be generous.

“Delicious or not, you shouldn’t eat too much. It’s late—it won’t digest well,” Shen Jueshu reminded her gently, watching her with concern.

Sui Yu pouted and slowed down her eating. She hadn’t had a single bite since lunch—that had been over nine hours ago. Of course she was starving!

But even so, she obeyed, stopping when she felt about seventy percent full—just enough to avoid getting bloated. Then she rested her cheek on her hand, watching Shen Jueshu eat with a silly smile on her face.

She was just so beautiful.
Even the way she ate was elegant—graceful in every movement.

Sui Yu chuckled softly. “You wouldn’t survive a day in the orphanage I grew up in.”

But that was a good thing. Shen Jueshu should never have to experience anything like that.
She belonged in places where everything she did could remain so beautifully effortless.

Hearing this, Shen Jueshu looked up, met her gaze, and smiled faintly.
“I think… if we had been in the same orphanage, you would’ve given me your food.”

Sui Yu blinked—then laughed out loud at that.

And then—

“Sui Yu,” Shen Jueshu said suddenly, “go run the bath.”

“…Huh?”
Sui Yu was briefly stunned. But when she saw the look in Shen Jueshu’s eyes, she understood.

And the tips of her ears immediately turned red.

She understood.

And well… everything she’d been “learning” …
Hopefully, it would be enough now.
