Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 66.1

Upon hearing Sui Yu’s proposal, Shen Jueshu fell into thoughtful silence.
She too wanted to know—if she and Sui Yu were truly separated, what would the Travelers do next?

“But faking your erasure is no small thing,” Shen Jueshu said seriously.
“Someone with that level of authority… can we really fool them that easily?”

Sui Yu smiled gently.
“Wife, did you forget about Uncle Li?”

He might not be much help in other matters, but when it came to covering her tracks—he was more than capable.

Shen Jueshu looked at her, mixed emotions surfacing. It was Uncle Li who had sent Sui Yu into another world in the first place. The thought made her heart ache a little, yet she was also deeply grateful. Without his help, would they have ever been reunited?

That thought alone made her grasp Sui Yu’s hand even tighter. If it were up to her, she’d never let go.

With both of them in agreement, Sui Yu accompanied Shen Jueshu until her work was finished, and then the two of them drove straight back to the Sui family’s ancestral home.

—

When they returned, Uncle Li immediately noticed something different about Sui Yu.
The look in her eyes… it was no longer the gaze one gave to an elder—it held depth and memory.

“You remembered?” Uncle Li asked with a soft sigh.

Sui Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Uncle Li gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
“She didn’t want you to remember. All she wanted… was for you to live freely, without burdens.”

To go on believing she was just someone who had accidentally entered this world, detached and weightless.

Sui Yu’s nose stung. At that moment, a warm hand reached over and gently took hers—Shen Jueshu’s eyes filled with gentle concern.

Sniffling, Sui Yu muttered,
“If she saw me like this now, she probably wouldn’t even want to recognize me…”

Crying at every turn—wasn’t exactly the image that person had tried to uphold.

Shen Jueshu didn’t laugh. She simply held her hand even tighter.

Watching them, Uncle Li’s gaze softened. That person’s efforts… hadn’t been in vain.

“So,” Uncle Li asked, “what brings you back this time?”

Sui Yu straightened up, composing herself.
“Uncle Li, we want to ask you for a favor—help us erase my presence. Make the Travelers’ systems register me as dead.”

“…Hmm?” Uncle Li’s brows furrowed immediately. He looked at them with concern.
“What exactly are you planning?”

Were they really going to go after the Traveler Association?

“Uncle Li,” Sui Yu said quietly, “you guessed right.”

Her voice turned cold.
“We can’t just sit around and wait for them to come for us.”

Uncle Li fell silent. Of course he wanted them to win this battle—but he also knew how terrifying those Traveler systems were.

“Uncle Li,” Sui Yu continued, her tone softening with sincerity, “we really need your help. Without it, I’m not confident we can fool them. I still don’t fully trust Fu Xin.”

Uncle Li let out a deep sigh.
“Ever since you two showed up, I’ve never had a moment of peace.”

He had originally come to this world to enjoy a quiet life—and now he was getting dragged into this mess.

But Sui Yu didn’t feel the slightest guilt. In fact, she grinned happily.
“Thank you, Uncle Li! Once all this is over, we won’t let you be so exhausted ever again!”

Uncle Li merely gave her a sideways glance, clearly not believing a word of it.

Even without Shen Jueshu having to say anything, Uncle Li had agreed. With that, they could begin preparing the groundwork for the plan.

—

On the way back, Sui Yu looked down at the inconspicuous little ring on her finger.
According to Uncle Li, it could simulate the complete erasure of her life signals. To the Travelers’ systems, she would no longer appear in their scans.

Since they were fully committed to the plan, Shen Jueshu also had to make several arrangements. After Sui Yu’s “incident,” she had to act appropriately—not too calm, but not too unstable either.

Realistically, in such a situation, she would likely be emotionally affected and unable to work properly. So she secretly began delegating her responsibilities in advance. That way, if she had to be absent from the company for a while, operations wouldn’t fall into chaos.

But then came a different problem—if word spread publicly that Sui Yu had died, what would they do in the future? When Sui Yu reappeared, would they have to stage a resurrection?

That would be… hard to explain.

“I have an idea,” Sui Yu said as she lay sprawled on the bed in her reindeer pajamas, eyes sparkling as she looked up at Shen Jueshu.

At that look, Shen Jueshu had a hunch it couldn’t be anything good. Still, she humored her.
“What idea?”

Sui Yu’s brows arched mischievously.
“My idea… is that you’ll have to play the role of a devoted, grieving lover!”

Shen Jueshu: “…What do you mean?”

Sui Yu quickly explained her plan: fake an accident or something similar, creating the illusion that she was gravely injured—or to the Traveler Association, presumed dead. Meanwhile, Shen Jueshu would maintain publicly that Sui Yu was still alive and well, pretending to be in denial—so obsessed and unwilling to accept her lover’s death that it became convincing.

Such a show of “refusal to believe” might just be enough to fool the Travelers.

Shen Jueshu: “……”

She looked helplessly at Sui Yu’s grinning face.
Was this just another excuse to see how much she loved her?

“So calculating.” Shen Jueshu pinched her cheek.
This little trickster just wanted to watch her act.

Sui Yu beamed and threw her arms around her, burying her face in Shen Jueshu’s neck. She took a deep breath of her soft, sweet scent and mumbled against her skin,
“Am I wrong, though?”

“Mm—” Shen Jueshu’s eyes fluttered shut, a trace of discomfort flickering across her brow as Sui Yu nuzzled in closer. She looked down at the crown of her head, helpless but indulgent, letting her do as she pleased.

Breathing in the lingering traces of Shen Jueshu’s pheromones, Sui Yu’s eyes dimmed slightly. A flicker of frustration crossed her gaze. Maybe the suppressant from Fu Xin hadn’t been very effective—she had completely forgotten to ask her for the antidote.

Originally, Sui Yu had planned to create her own formula if Fu Xin refused to cooperate. But since there was now a faster route, there was no need to waste time.

“You… wait here a second,” Sui Yu said hoarsely.

“Hmm?” Shen Jueshu, already trying to keep it together, frowned and looked at her, confused.

Sui Yu picked up her phone, pressed a quick kiss to Shen Jueshu’s lips in reassurance, and called the head bodyguard stationed at the villa. She instructed her to get the antidote from Fu Xin and bring it immediately.

Shen Jueshu couldn’t help but chuckle. She brushed her fingers gently over Sui Yu’s brow.
“You know… it’s okay, even without your pheromones.”

Even if Sui Yu’s scent had faded, just her presence, her closeness—was more than enough to make her heart race.

“I know you don’t mind,” Sui Yu whispered, holding her close.
“But I mind. I don’t want anything about being with you to carry even a trace of revulsion. That would be an insult to you.”

Her words made Shen Jueshu’s heart soften. She kissed her gently on the eyelid. Even without doing anything, she was already overwhelmed by how much she loved her. She thought—her body was utterly defenseless against Sui Yu. If Sui Yu ever found out, this little pup would probably wag her tail into a bouquet of flowers.

At that thought, Shen Jueshu’s heart fluttered, and her kiss on Sui Yu’s eyelid grew even softer.

The bodyguard arrived remarkably fast—who knew what kind of reckless driving she pulled off—but within fifteen minutes, the antidote was in their hands. Sui Yu stared at the vial, the clear liquid inside sloshing gently. It looked completely unremarkable.

“Should we have Uncle Li test it first?” Shen Jueshu asked, a bit worried.

Sui Yu smiled lightly.
“No need. She doesn’t dare mess with us now.”

Given Fu Xin’s current situation, her fate was tied to Sui Yu’s. If anything happened to her, Fu Xin wouldn’t survive either. And after realizing her earlier suppressant had little effect, she wouldn’t risk pulling anything again—it would just be plain stupid.

Without hesitation, Sui Yu injected the antidote into herself. Almost immediately, she felt the dormant energy of her pheromones surging back to life. The gland at the nape of her neck throbbed faintly, releasing delicate traces of her signature geranium scent—growing stronger by the second.

She reached out and took Shen Jueshu’s hand. The lingering feeling of aversion that had weighed on her for so long was finally—completely—gone.

“It worked! It worked!” Sui Yu laughed joyfully, throwing her arms around Shen Jueshu’s waist and spinning her in a circle. The awful, repulsive sensation was finally gone!

Seeing her so thrilled, Shen Jueshu smiled too. She took Sui Yu’s hand and placed it on the zipper at the collar of her top, her gaze gentle and inviting.
“Well then… now that you’re all better, shouldn’t you get back to business?”

Sui Yu’s eyes lit up like fireworks.
Without hesitation, she leaned in and kissed Shen Jueshu hard.

The next day, Shen Jueshu returned to the company to finalize her work handovers.

Meanwhile, Sui Yu headed back to the villa.

Sui Yu looked at Fu Xin, who was clearly in much better condition than before, and shook her head.
“Why did you even bother?” she asked quietly.

After enduring so much, she still hadn’t managed to keep her secrets.

Now, whenever Fu Xin saw Sui Yu, she instinctively recoiled—like a woman who had long lived under domestic abuse. Even if Sui Yu didn’t lift a finger, just hearing her voice was enough to make her shrink in fear.

For a Traveler to be suppressed like this by a native… this had to be a first since the association was founded.

“You said you had a way to fake my death—to make it seem like I’ve been erased. How does it work?” Sui Yu asked.

Fu Xin took a deep breath and pulled out a delicate silver bracelet. Her expression was uneasy.
“It’s system tech, so I can’t guarantee it will fool them 100%.”

Sui Yu took the bracelet from her. It was finely made, simple yet elegant.
“How does it work?”

“As long as you wear it, the system will automatically mask your presence,” Fu Xin explained.

Sui Yu didn’t put it on right away. If it really worked as advertised, then wearing it now might risk tipping them off too soon.

She glanced at Fu Xin’s still-worn but healing body and asked,
“You can use your system now, right? So why haven’t you used some miracle cure to fix yourself?”

Fu Xin gritted her teeth slightly, her gaze dropping to the bracelet in Sui Yu’s hand.
“We don’t get access to things like that anytime we want! Items like those cost points.”

After Sui Yu’s warnings yesterday, Fu Xin knew she had no choice but to help cover for her. But the bracelet’s point cost had been extremely high—she barely had anything left after redeeming it.

“Oh~” Sui Yu gave a knowing nod.
“And how do you earn those points?”

Fu Xin lowered her gaze further.
“By completing tasks… If I speak ill of Shen Jueshu, I get points.”

Quite a lot of points, in fact.
But she had never earned a single one from that.

Perhaps that’s why the rewards were so generous—it was rare for anyone to succeed.

“Hm?” Sui Yu’s eyes narrowed, then she let out a cold snort.
“Then keep recovering on your own.”

She had briefly considered helping Fu Xin earn some points—but not if the task was to slander Shen Jueshu. That was impossible.
There wasn’t a single bad thing about Shen Jueshu!

Fu Xin: “……”

“When we’re ready, you’ll be allowed to leave,” Sui Yu said coldly.
“I hope, when that time comes, you know what side to choose.”

It all depended on Fu Xin—would she bet on their success and preserve her own life, or betray them and face certain deletion?

Fu Xin didn’t speak, but her eyes were full of a gambler’s desperation. Her future hinged entirely on this decision.

Before leaving, however, there was still one thing bothering Sui Yu. She frowned slightly and asked,
“You said before that your President wants Shen Jueshu. But why? What does she want with her? Is she planning to kill her?”

“No!” Fu Xin’s reaction was immediate, even emotional.
Her denial was intense.

Seeing her so riled up, Sui Yu narrowed her eyes.
“If that’s true, then why—back in the parking garage—was the gun pointed directly at Shen Jueshu’s heart? How do you explain that?”

Fu Xin broke out in a cold sweat. Gritting her teeth, she muttered,
“That… that was someone acting on their own.”

“Acting on their own?” Sui Yu repeated softly, then gave a cold, mocking smile.
“So there is someone among you who wants Shen Jueshu dead. Mind telling me why?”

Fu Xin was shaking now, sweat beading on her forehead. She shook her head in silence—unable, or unwilling, to speak.

“Then that day—you said I was a ‘replacement.’ What did you mean by that?”
A replacement? Shen Jueshu’s affection and devotion to her… none of that felt like she was being treated as a stand-in.

Who would love a substitute that deeply?

Fu Xin turned pale. Again, she shook her head—unable to explain.

Sui Yu stared at her expressionlessly for a moment but didn’t press further. It was as if she’d been hit with some kind of gag order—any time it involved Shen Jueshu, she could barely speak a word.

—

After leaving the villa, Sui Yu returned to the lab.

She watched her team hard at work, and for a moment, her thoughts turned heavy. Soon, they’d be forced to live under uncertainty for a while. For the sake of secrecy, only a few would know about the plan—meaning most people would believe her “accident” was real.

But thankfully, her team was capable and independent. As long as funding kept flowing, they could continue their work even without her direct involvement. So Sui Yu wasn’t too worried on that front.

With nothing else pressing, she returned to her research. She drew a fresh blood sample and ran another round of tests. Though her body was fine now, her curiosity as a scientist couldn’t ignore the mysterious substance from before.

The blood test came back normal. She pulled up the previous data for comparison, hoping to uncover more details about the unknown compound.

Once she dove into her research, time slipped away unnoticed. It wasn’t until Shen Jueshu knocked gently on the door that she realized an entire day had passed.
