Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 57

Qiu Fugui (Qiu Qing Shi’s father) felt one flip-flop wasn’t secure. What if the target was strong and fought back?

Therefore, he took off the other flip-flop. Hmph, with two flip-flops in hand, the world is mine.

Attacking requires the principle of “striking first to gain the advantage, striking last to suffer the consequences.” If done well, it’s called the ultimate speed of martial arts; if done poorly, it’s called a sneak attack.

Qiu Fugui took a deep breath, channeled his qi (energy) into his lower abdomen, and aimed for a fatal strike.

He was barefoot, treading silently on the mirror-like floor, creeping closer step by step.

Pang Tou Tuo (Fat Head Monk), sleeping in the dog bed, was deeply attracted by his sneakiness and trailed behind his buttocks, observing and studying the perplexing behavior of humans.

Qiu Fugui advanced steadily along the wall. He stopped five meters away from Qiu Qing Shi and Yao Xiang Yi.

He gathered strength in his legs and charged forward swiftly!

He even added a sound effect, letting out a loud shout.

Qiu Qing Shi saw a dark, blurry shadow suddenly flash before her eyes. Before she could clearly make out what this shadow was, one flip-flop was already flying toward the back of Yao Xiang Yi’s head.

Qiu Qing Shi was only a head shorter than Yao Xiang Yi and habitually kept her hands wrapped around Yao Xiang Yi’s neck when they were being intimate.

The strike Qiu Fugui delivered landed entirely on her hand.

It made a loud, cracking sound!

Qiu Qing Shi let out a shriek!

Yao Xiang Yi was startled, thinking a sasaeng fan had tracked them down. She immediately turned around and saw Qiu Fugui’s contorted face wildly waving the flip-flop.

“Dad?”

Oh, my heavens, isn’t this the son-in-law I think about day and night!

It was a mistake! A mistake!

Qiu Fugui quickly corrected his path, pulling back just in time, hiding the flip-flop behind his back like a child who had done something wrong, and gave a nervous, forced laugh.

Qiu Qing Shi’s little hand was stinging. She pouted and blew cool air onto it. Still upset, she sternly criticized Comrade Qiu Fugui’s violent behavior: “Dad, what are you doing? Hitting people for no reason! Look what you’ve done to me…”

Qiu Qing Shi thrust her little hand into Qiu Fugui’s face, forcing him to observe his own misdeed.

Qiu Fugui nervously stared at the ceiling. To cover his embarrassment, he whistled a tune that wasn’t very pleasant.

The Number One Socialite of Hai City was attacked and beaten by her own father late at night. Qiu Qing Shi felt she had completely lost face and angrily complained to Yao Xiang Yi: “Boss (Bàba), look at the welt Dad left. It’s swollen.”

Yao Xiang Yi couldn’t stand idly by while her charming wife was bullied—not even by her own father. She cradled Qiu Qing Shi’s little hand in her palm and gently rubbed it, saying tenderly, “We’ll ice it later.”

She then looked at Qiu Fugui. Since he was her father-in-law after all, she shouldn’t offend him too much. She patiently asked, “Dad, what exactly were you doing?”

Qiu Fugui was too embarrassed to tell the truth. How could I tell Yao Xiang Yi: I thought my Qing Qing was fooling around with an outsider?

Is that something a real father should say?

Where would I put my old face?

He stammered out a lie: “The door was open. I thought a thief had gotten in.”

He immediately turned the tables, pointing at the two of them in exasperation: “And you two! What kind of display is that, kissing and hugging outside? Can’t you take the commotion back to the room?”

Qiu Qing Shi knew he was dodging the issue: “Xiang Yi and I have a marriage certificate. She’s my wife. We’ll kiss wherever we want.”

Having said that, she walked into the house, nursing her injured hand. As she passed Qiu Fugui, she let out a heavy “Hmph,” expressing her strong displeasure.

Qiu Fugui was thoroughly awkward…

He exchanged glances with Yao Xiang Yi. After a moment’s thought, he chased after his daughter, apologizing sincerely: “Dad was wrong. Can’t I apologize to you?”

🛌 Back in the Mansion

After a month, Yao Xiang Yi finally lay on her own soft, double bed.

The sheets were new, bought by Qiu Qing Shi, and carried the fresh scent of laundry detergent.

The moment Yao Xiang Yi lay down, her eyelids felt impossibly heavy. Qiu Qing Shi was leaning against the headboard applying eye cream. Seeing that Yao Xiang Yi had fallen asleep, she gently nudged her with her small foot.

“Boss (Bàba), my hand still hurts.”

Yao Xiang Yi wasn’t in a deep sleep. She propped herself up with her hands, her voice husky with fatigue: “I’ll go get some ice for you.”

Qiu Qing Shi clamped her legs around her: “Don’t go. It doesn’t hurt that badly. A kiss will make it better.”

Yao Xiang Yi flopped back down, took her hand, and repeatedly kissed and pecked it all over.

Qiu Qing Shi extended an arm for her to use as a pillow in return.

Yao Xiang Yi didn’t hesitate. She lifted her head and nestled into Qiu Qing Shi’s armpit, then deliberately snuggled further into her embrace to be naughty.

Qiu Qing Shi was wearing a slip dress. Yao Xiang Yi’s warm breath sprayed across her largely exposed chest. It was both hot and ticklish, making her try to pull away.

“Get back here,” Yao Xiang Yi commanded in a CEO tone.

Qiu Qing Shi challenged her: “You’re full of bad intentions. No way.”

Yao Xiang Yi then wrapped her arm around Qiu Qing Shi’s waist, using force to pull her back close, and said lazily, “My car play is ruined. Can’t I even live vicariously?”

Qiu Qing Shi raised her neck and laughed, pulling on Yao Xiang Yi’s ear playfully: “As you wish, as you wish.”

🏢 Morning at Jing Hong Entertainment

The next day, Qiu Qing Shi woke Yao Xiang Yi up on time, reminding her it was time for work. Yao Xiang Yi miserably pulled the quilt over her head.

Qiu Qing Shi sighed, realizing Yao Xiang Yi’s habit of sleeping in would probably never change.

The old routine: kiss her! Coax her!

She pulled down the quilt and showered Yao Xiang Yi with terms of endearment, followed by a torrent of kisses—dense and close, leaving Yao Xiang Yi’s face covered in saliva.

Yao Xiang Yi’s germaphobia kicked in, forcing her to wash her face and take a shower.

After washing up and having breakfast, Qiu Qing Shi and Yao Xiang Yi went to the company together.

As soon as they entered the elevator, Qiu Qing Shi started affectionately engaging with Yao Xiang Yi again. When the door opened on the nineteenth floor, the employees waiting for the elevator collectively covered their eyes.

Oh no, it’s over! They had just witnessed the Madam counter-attacking the CEO, pinning the CEO against the elevator wall and passionately kissing her on the mouth, nose, and chin.

Qiu Qing Shi’s cheeks were flushed crimson. Paired with her eyes, which were wet from arousal, she was the epitome of “three parts cute and seven parts sexy”—utterly captivating.

Crap, I couldn’t control myself in front of the staff.

How embarrassing!

“Why didn’t you remind me!” Qiu Qing Shi tugged at Yao Xiang Yi’s collar, burying her face in her collarbone and complaining.

Yao Xiang Yi spread her hands and teased, “I did remind you.”

The moment the elevator doors closed, Qiu Qing Shi pounced on her and started doing unspeakable things.

Yao Xiang Yi had strongly resisted, reminding Qiu Qing Shi not to be too impatient. If she really couldn’t hold back, she could cancel the morning meeting, and they could “have a round” in the CEO’s office.

Qiu Qing Shi playfully punched her with a small pink fist: “Dream on! I just wanted a kiss and nothing else, as thanks for agreeing to join the reality show with me.”

She was happy about showing off their love to the whole country soon.

The happier she got, the more she wanted to kiss, hug, and lift her Boss (Bàba) up high.

Qiu Qing Shi resorted to brute force, ‘wall-pinning’ Yao Xiang Yi and starting to kiss her mouth. The kissing… went off track…

Their breathing became hurried.

Fortunately, the elevator reached the nineteenth floor, otherwise, Qiu Qing Shi might have forced Yao Xiang Yi into an elevator ‘shaking.’

Qiu Qing Shi regretted the situation greatly. The crown of the Number One Socialite had been slightly tarnished.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she gave Yao Xiang Yi a little push, seeming to blame her with an intense glare of “it’s all your fault, all your fault, all your fault.”

She then dramatically flipped her long hair with a stunning grace, every strand tracing the most perfect arc in the air.

Her movie queen style left everyone stunned.

Qiu Qing Shi came to the company to discuss two matters with Su Ti La:

Yao Xiang Yi participating in the reality show.

Signing Bai Meng Zhao to Jing Hong Entertainment.

Hearing the first matter, Su Ti La was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected Qiu Qing Shi could genuinely sweet-talk Yao Xiang Yi into agreeing.

While Yao Xiang Yi loved to spoil this Diva, she did so with principles and boundaries. Participating in a reality show was truly unexpected.

Su Ti La’s face beamed. She served Qiu Qing Shi a cup of coffee she personally ground and asked slyly, “What method did you use to convince CEO Yao?”

Qiu Qing Shi answered ambiguously: “…My charm.”

Su Ti La adopted an “I knew it” expression and gave her a thumbs-up: “Awesome.”

Qiu Qing Shi twisted her body proudly: “Figuring her out is a matter of minutes.”

Then she brought up the second matter.

Su Ti La immediately exploded, letting out a roar: “What! CEO Yao wants to sign that fox spirit Bai Meng Zhao! And she wants me to be her manager! Damn it!”

Qiu Qing Shi told her to calm down and pulled her to the window to breathe some fresh air.

Qiu Qing Shi had thought this over. For the sake of Yao Xiang Yi’s reputation, she decided to take the blame herself: “This is my decision.”

Su Ti La’s face twitched: “Are you insane!”

“I call this going against the grain. Boss (Bàba) is going to give Jing Hong Entertainment to me. I’ve decided to give you shares. You will be my anchor here. This place will be our domain. If we keep Bai Meng Zhao right under our noses, she definitely won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

Evidently, Su Ti La only registered the first sentence and said excitedly, “You’re going to give me shares in Jing Hong Entertainment!”

Qiu Qing Shi sincerely nodded.

Su Ti La: Happiness came so suddenly.

Qiu Qing Shi struck while the iron was hot: “Then it’s settled. I’ll send you Bai Meng Zhao’s home address. You go talk to her. If she agrees, you’ll represent her in negotiating the termination of her contract with Tian Ji Film and Television.”

Su Ti La saw that Qiu Qing Shi was resolute and couldn’t dissuade her. Besides, the plan was feasible. Once Bai Meng Zhao was under her control, Su Ti La would schedule work for her every day, flying her all over the country.

For instance, opening ceremonies for property developments in fourth and fifth-tier cities, making Bai Meng Zhao perform vigorous singing and dancing.

Or, roles as a vicious female supporting character who dies after a single episode in various web dramas.

Or, at worst, taking on several absolutely despicable villain roles: a mistress who seduces bald old men, a cheating green tea bitch (an innocent-looking woman who manipulates others), or a scheming white lotus who can’t forget her ex.

She guaranteed that within a year, she would destroy Bai Meng Zhao’s public goodwill, ushering in a new chapter of universal online scorn.

Hmph, Su Ti La, the socialite queen known throughout the managerial circle, could not only cultivate a top-tier star like Qiu Qing Shi, who possessed both looks and talent, but she could also cultivate a new generation of small flower girls infamous to the extreme.

She would make sure Bai Meng Zhao became the mudslide of the entertainment industry.

Qiu Qing Shi saw her lost in thought, her expression changing vividly, and waved her hand in front of her to interrupt her daydreaming.

Su Ti La patted her chest and promised: “Don’t worry. I will work her to death.”

Qiu Qing Shi was pleased with her high level of consciousness: “Don’t be too excessive. I just want her to stay away from Boss (Bàba). Also, think of her if there are good resources. This child has a difficult life; it’s not easy for her.”

The moment she said this, it made Su Ti La look petty by comparison.

Su Ti La’s face felt hot, and she blamed her: “She’ll turn her luck around with your help! And you, you’re so concerned about a mistress who has designs on CEO Yao.”

Qiu Qing Shi smiled: “There’s another reason I’m helping her.”

“What is it?”

Qiu Qing Shi said seriously, “Mei Kai Xuan.”

Mei Kai Xuan was a runaway wild horse. Last night, he dared to send Bai Meng Zhao to Yao Xiang Yi’s bed. If they just sat back and took it, he would truly think they were easy to bully!

There would likely be even worse trouble in the future.

Qiu Qing Shi felt a chill just thinking about it.

Her eyes turned cold: “Bai Meng Zhao has only been at Tian Ji Film and Television for a year. Her contract hasn’t expired, and she’s currently being scorned by the entire internet. She still has some value, so Tian Ji definitely won’t let her go. You go be the vanguard. Tell Mei Kai Xuan that our Jing Hong Entertainment is going to steal his talent!”
