After Escaping My Paranoid Wife's Control - Chapter 1

Song Yu checked Ji Mingsui’s schedule one more time.

22:00 – 00:00. Ji Mingsui was scheduled to hold an extremely important international video conference at the company.

It was a deal worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Whether it succeeded or failed all depended on tonight.

For a conference of such magnitude, Ji Mingsui would undoubtedly need to be entirely focused and intensely concentrated while presiding over it.

This meant Ji Mingsui wouldn’t be able to monitor her every move through the cameras as she usually did.

It was the perfect opportunity to escape.

By 9:30 PM, Song Yu had already finished her bath.

Stepping out of the bathroom completely naked, she changed into soft silk pajamas and lay down on the large bed in the master bedroom.

The phone lying beside her pillow vibrated once.

It was a notification.

Without even looking, Song Yu knew the message was from Ji Mingsui.

Ji Mingsui possessed an intensely possessive nature and forbade her from making friends.

Aside from the sales representatives of various major luxury brands, the only contact left on her WeChat was Ji Mingsui.

And the brand sales representatives would never disturb her after 8:00 PM.

Song Yu knitted her brows.

Usually, when she was feeling irritable, she wouldn’t even bother to look at the messages Ji Mingsui sent.

But for the sake of tonight’s escape plan, she suppressed her annoyance, picked up her phone, and opened her chat window with Ji Mingsui.

[Ji Mingsui: Why are you turning in so early today?]

Song Yu lifted her eyes to look at the surveillance camera installed on the bedroom wall.

Ji Mingsui’s desire for control was absolute. Whenever they were apart, even if only for five minutes, Ji Mingsui would employ every possible means to monitor her every move.

This included, but was not limited to, the security cameras at home, positioning software on her phone, tracking devices in the car…

Consequently, Ji Mingsui knew exactly what time she did what, and whom she met, down to the smallest detail.

In her heart, Song Yu cursed her repeatedly, calling her a “lunatic,” a “psycho,” and a “pervert”…

Then, she replied to Ji Mingsui’s message.

[Song Yu: None of your business.]

[Ji Mingsui: An instant reply?]

[Ji Mingsui: It seems you’re in a good mood today?]

Song Yu’s mood today was actually terrible.

Incredibly terrible.

Yet, to ensure her successful escape later, she forced down her irritation and replied to Ji Mingsui again.

[Song Yu: Yeah.]

Suddenly, the phone screen was overtaken by an incoming call interface.

It was a voice call from Ji Mingsui.

Song Yu gritted her teeth and swiped to answer.

“An instant pick-up?” Ji Mingsui sounded surprised.

“It seems your mood really is quite good today.”

She told Song Yu, “Wife, there is a very high probability I can close this deal tonight.”

“Once it’s finalized, our Yu-Sui Group’s international strategic expansion can…”

Song Yu cut Ji Mingsui off. “Aren’t you annoying? Every time you call me, you always have to talk about work.”

She crawled deeper into the blanket. “I’m tired. I want to sleep early.”

Then, with an impatient tone, she said to Ji Mingsui, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

“Alright, alright, alright,” Ji Mingsui quickly responded.

She spoke gently to Song Yu, “If you’re tired, go to sleep first.”

“No need to wait up for me.”

“As soon as the video conference ends, I’ll rush straight home.”

The exact moment Song Yu’s fingertip made contact to disconnect the call, she heard an exceptionally clear sound of a kiss.

This was Ji Mingsui’s habit.

Before ending every call, Ji Mingsui would kiss the screen of her phone, right where she had saved her contact name as “Wife.”

Out of habit, Song Yu also reflexively moved to return the kiss.

However, just as her lips were about to touch the screen over the contact name she had given Ji Mingsui—”Lunatic”—she suddenly snapped awake.

No.

She was about to escape from Ji Mingsui.

What on earth was she doing returning a kiss?

So this time, Song Yu did not return the kiss. Instead, she directly terminated the call with Ji Mingsui.

Right after ending the call, Song Yu received another message from Ji Mingsui.

[Ji Mingsui: Goodnight.]

[Ji Mingsui: Wife.]

[Ji Mingsui: I love you.jpg]

Staring at the text and the emoji in the chat box, Song Yu clenched her teeth hard and muttered under her breath, “Truly a lingering ghost.”

For the past eleven years, Ji Mingsui had been like a female ghost, constantly and relentlessly haunting her.

It would have been fine if Ji Mingsui were just an ordinary ghost, but unfortunately, Ji Mingsui was a ghost with immense wealth, power, and overwhelming status.

Thus, for these eleven years, no matter how much she struggled or resisted, she could only remain trapped under Ji Mingsui’s control within this luxury villa worth 3 billion, staffed with 4 butlers, 30 maids, 5 drivers…

Was it five drivers or six?

Song Yu wasn’t entirely clear on the exact number of domestic staff in this villa.

She only knew that whenever she needed something, she could always find someone to do her bidding.

…In short, for these past eleven years, no matter how she struggled or rebelled, she could only be controlled by Ji Mingsui inside this golden cage.

And tonight.

She finally had another chance to escape this gilded prison.
