The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Changes to Take the Black Moonlight Script - Chapter 82

Some time had passed since Shang Shixing left the Wei Corporation, and the topic was slowly gaining traction.

Someone tried to see Wei Yixian under the pretext of reporting work but was intercepted by Yin Lian.

Xie Mei, who had attended a business lunch event on behalf of Wei Yixian, hurried back immediately after the event ended.

When she knocked on the CEO’s office door and entered, Xie Mei saw Wei Yixian sitting behind her desk, wiping a photo frame.

When did the CEO’s desk get a photo frame? The thought flashed briefly through Xie Mei’s mind.

She had no time to dwell on such trivial matters and asked, “CEO Wei, did Miss Shang come because of Shang Shiyu?”

“Hmm,” Wei Yixian responded leisurely.

From her attitude, Xie Mei couldn’t tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.

She had even less idea what negotiation points Wei Yixian had discussed with Shang Shixing during their conversation.

Although curious, she didn’t pry into matters Wei Yixian wasn’t willing to share.

After finishing cleaning the photo frame, Wei Yixian placed it back beside her computer desk.

Xie Mei craned her neck to peek and saw that it was a photo of CEO Wei with Shang Shiqian, No, with Shang Shiyu.

Wei Yixian suddenly said, “The second kinship test report has fallen into Shang Shixing’s hands.”

“How could that be?” Xie Mei’s mind went blank, her expression shifting slightly.

Was CEO Wei suspecting she had leaked it to Shang Shixing?

No, if she were suspected, Wei Yixian wouldn’t be telling her this much.

On the day she retrieved that report, she had encountered many people.

But she had been watching closely – no one had touched that kinship test report.

Even Yin Zaishui, who rode back in her car, hadn’t touched the kinship test report at all.

In that instant, she thought of many possibilities but couldn’t figure out how the information had been leaked.

Regardless, she hadn’t handled this matter properly and needed to take responsibility.

“I’m sorry, CEO Wei. I failed to maintain confidentiality.”

Wei Yixian waved her hand. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Xie Mei felt an inexplicable tension in her heart – CEO Wei’s state seemed somewhat unusual.

The calmer the surface appeared, the more turbulent the undercurrents beneath.

This looked like the calm before the storm.

Just then, Yin Lian knocked and entered: “CEO Wei, Little Shang is in the B2 parking garage.”

Wei Yixian thought for a moment and told them, “If anything important comes up, call my personal phone.”

After speaking, she left the office and went directly to B2 level.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Shang Shiqian not far away.

Wearing a hat and mask, she was leaning on a car roof, idly tracing patterns as if playing chess against herself.

Chu Fei leaned against a nearby car, keeping watch on the surroundings, and was the first to spot Wei Yixian, giving a warning.

Shang Shiqian immediately straightened up and waved at Wei Yixian.

Probably mindful that this was the Wei Corporation, she didn’t call out.

A faint smile appeared on Wei Yixian’s face.

“What brings you here suddenly?”

Shang Shiqian said, “You didn’t come back for lunch or your afternoon rest, and you didn’t call me.”

“Is that all?”

Shang Shiqian pulled Wei Yixian into the car. Just as they were about to return to Tianhao Garden, Wei Yixian said, “The weather is nice today. Let’s go out to sea.”

Shang Shiqian: “Huh?”

Though surprised, she agreed.

Pu Feifei drove them to the yacht marina.

This was where the wealthy families of East City berthed their private yachts, and Wei Yixian’s yacht was also docked here.

In the afternoon, when temperatures were at their peak.

The pier was nearly deserted, with only a few seagulls in sight.

Nearby, at the yacht club, a handful of idle rich second-generation heirs were attending a salon event, but they were too far away to recognize Wei Yixian.

–

Wei Yixian’s yacht was a flybridge yacht imported from Italy, priced at around 13.7 million yuan.

A “flybridge yacht” refers to a yacht with the deck located on the top level.

This yacht had three levels.

The entry level was the living room, equipped with a helm station, sofa, coffee table, kitchen, wine cabinet, and bathroom.

There was also a deck at the front of the yacht, suitable for sunbathing and fishing.

A small staircase led down to the cabins, which included two rooms and two small compartments similar in size to soft-sleeper train berths, along with a bathroom.

The top deck was the dining area, featuring a barbecue station, a bar, and a helm station with an even broader view.

After boarding the yacht, Shang Shiqian assumed they would wait for a captain to pilot it, but to her surprise, both Pu Feifei and Wei Yixian had yacht licenses.

Pu Feifei smiled faintly. “I got mine last year.”

Shang Shiqian: …

Who else but you deserves that million-yuan salary?

Observing her elder sister’s attitude towards Wei Yixian at the airshow, Shang Shiqian asked, “Did my sister embarrass you?”

“Embarrassment isn’t quite the word, though she was somewhat aggressive,” Wei Yixian said calmly.

However, Wei Yixian understood why Shang Shixing had behaved so erratically.

No one could remain calm upon discovering that a beloved family member who had been dead for eight years had come back to life.

Just like her, upon recognizing Shang Shiqian, she only wanted to hide her away.

Shang Shixing must also want to make amends and correct past “mistakes,” ensuring Shang Shiqian wouldn’t be hurt again.

In the face of the evidence Shang Shixing presented, her motives for approaching Shang Shiqian did indeed appear highly questionable.

To be honest, if she hadn’t overheard the system’s conversation with Shang Shiqian and recognized her,

she would indeed have suspected and used “Shang Shiyu” as Shang Shixing claimed.

Nor would she have fallen for a substitute.

But—

Understanding Shang Shixing didn’t mean she would back down as she had eight years ago.

Instead of seeking out Shang Shiqian, Shang Shixing came to her first.

Wasn’t it because she knew she couldn’t persuade Shang Shiqian, so she wanted to pressure her into giving up Shang Shiqian voluntarily?

A faint glimmer flashed in Wei Yixian’s eyes.

She lowered her head to pour a drink, and when she looked up again, her expression had returned to calm.

Shang Shiqian, however, grew worried. Now Wei Yixian was really going to dislike her.

Should she confess that she was Shang Shiqian?

As Shang Shiqian sorted through her thoughts, searching for a way to reconcile her family with Wei Yixian, Wei Yixian changed the subject: “Can you swim?”

“Yes, why?”

“Want to go in the sea?”

Shang Shiqian gazed at the azure sea beyond the yacht, feeling tempted.

But after a moment’s thought, she gave up: “I didn’t bring a swimsuit, and I didn’t apply sunscreen. I’m afraid of getting sunburned.”

“There are brand-new swimsuits on the yacht, as well as sunscreen supplies.”

Wei Yixian took Shang Shiqian to the master cabin and opened the wardrobe, which contained unwrapped swimsuits, spare pajamas, and toiletries.

Shang Shiqian pulled out a bikini with very little fabric.

Wei Yixian raised an eyebrow: “You’re choosing this one?”

“I meant to ask, did you prepare this for yourself?”

“I don’t need to personally pick out swimsuits.”

Shang Shiqian understood, this was another instance of Pu Feifei fulfilling her duties as a life secretary by selecting it.

Seeing that Shang Shiqian had no intention of wearing that swimsuit, Wei Yixian directly set it aside and picked out a deep V-neck one-piece with an open back.

Shang Shiqian chose a set with a top similar to a sports bra and bottom as bikini briefs.

After applying sunscreen on each other, they went to the swimming platform at the stern of the yacht to warm up.

For safety, Shang Shiqian put on a swim ring.

Once Wei Yixian entered the water, she dove straight down.

When she didn’t resurface for dozens of seconds, Shang Shiqian felt her blood run cold for the first time.

“Wei Yixian!?”

Her shout made Pu Feifei and Chu Fei tense up as well.

Shang Shiqian removed the swim ring and was about to put on goggles to dive down and find her when she felt something touch her in the water.

The next moment, Wei Yixian emerged from the water and embraced her fully.

“Ah!” Shang Shiqian cried out in shock.

Dripping wet, Wei Yixian wiped the water from her face, pressed Shang Shiqian against the swimming platform, and kissed her.

Pu Feifei and Chu Fei silently averted their eyes.

Shang Shiqian’s heart continued to race. Being kissed by her in this precarious position—with nothing but the yacht at their backs and the open sea around them was both nerve-wracking and thrilling enough to make her scalp tingle.

Wei Yixian’s wet hair dripped water down her cheeks.

As Shang Shiqian kissed her, savoring the sweetness of the moment, her tongue also caught the salty taste of seawater.

Against this backdrop of saltiness, the kiss tasted even sweeter.

When their lips finally parted, Shang Shiqian breathed lightly, unable to summon any anger toward Wei Yixian. Instead, she chuckled.

Wei Yixian asked, “What’s so funny?”

Shang Shiqian looked at her as though meeting her for the first time and said, “I never knew you could be this mischievous.”

“Huh?” Wei Yixian found the descriptor oddly out of place when applied to herself.

The next moment, Shang Shiqian added, “Mischievous enough to ask for a spanking.”

In other words, she was begging for a lesson.

Wei Yixian: …

So, this was how Shang Shiqian expressed her displeasure.

It felt strangely refreshing.

Shang Da: What do you think you’re doing?

Wei Zong: Hehehe (villainous snicker)
