“I feel like smashing someone’s head with an expensive bottle of wine,” Bing Shi sighed in refreshment after rinsing her mouth. She took a gulp from the cup of water, “Taking his woman away should do the job of calming me down.”

‘Until now, why did I have to deal with the leads as problematic adults?’

Fortunately, Mo Luwei was not a part of her mission. She was free to treat him however she wanted as long as she didn’t break his soul. Even if she killed him, his soul would remain intact so it wasn’t an easy thing to break his soul anyways.

‘I always found that strange...’

‘Wouldn’t it be easier for us to go to the lead’s past and raise them as kids?’

The problem didn’t appear because of their childhood and the chances of becoming a female lead would be higher. One simply couldn’t change what already happened, however, one could change the future by preventing what had gone wrong in the past...

.....

But then again, going back in time was like altering the present. Everything that has been known would change.

The leads could change at any given moment, from the smallest accident. Memories, dear or traumatic, could also be changed too; but throughout all these changes, the souls of the leads would always remain in the present.

The reason why Kuro was taking so long to appear was probably because of the time flow between the universes. It also explained why Xuan Mu waited for four years.

He didn’t travel to the past... He distorted the present.

Bing Shi rubbed his arm, “Hubby, after I finish my mission, I want to work in Binfinity. Can I?”

Xuan Mu’s body tensed as his mind tumbled back into a dark turn. He narrowed his eyes as he bluntly told Bing Shi, in a no nonsense tone, “You can’t.”

He made her lean against him. Acting as support, he helped her walk slowly out of the restroom, “Didn’t you want to build a skyscraper?”

Bing Shi contemplated what she would do. She mused aloud as she forced more of her weight onto Xuan Mu, “There are so many things I want to do...”

She murmured as an afterthought, “Too many things, I think.”

“Be a good girl, and focus on your recovery.” Xuan Mu said as he pressed a light kiss into her head... Despite how soothing he sounded, he would roughly pinch at her bottom with his thumb and pointer finger.

“Don’t stir up too much trouble, I might get territorial,” he fondly whispered as he leaned his head down to peck softly at her opened lips, “Leave the dirty jobs to me.”

“Yes, sir!” Bing Shi gave him an energetic smile and strode back to the private dining room. As the sounds of her footsteps bounced off the hallway walls in a merry tune, she would absently think to herself.

‘There are too many people in that room...’

‘~ Nothing can be done about that.’

‘I want to go home...’

‘~ No, no, take care of Silika Lin’s nudes first.’

‘I’ve got a hold of Su Min. Mo Luwei won’t dare to post them online.’

‘~ That’s not enough... Holding his woman isn’t enough. Let’s go put his villa on fire.’

‘Hubby said not to stir up too much trouble.’

Xuan Mu watched how his wife suddenly turned into a walking zombie. A cute zombie, but a zombie nonetheless. It looked like she was thinking too much again...

When zombie-Bing-Shi needed to charge up her life force, she would look at Xuan Mu’s face. After a few moments, she would look away from her hubby, and turn into a walking zombie again. It was as if she had never vomited her lungs out; it worried Xuan Mu that she was able to brush that off like it was nothing.

There was another reason why he came back from abroad. He couldn’t live their life as always, when it was so obvious that she was struggling with her career as an actress and her off-putting presence. She had thrown bits and pieces of herself into whatever places she would go to on a whim. It was like she’d chopped pieces of herself and hung it up to some no name location...

Now, she was tearing herself apart forcefully; reshaping herself without the pieces she’d thrown away. She was not whole. She was cracked and broken. This forced her to become what she had never wanted to be.

(She’s the result of broken porcelain pieces glued together in a poor work of art.)

Xuan Mu darted towards her all of a sudden.

When Bing Shi turned to look at the man with surprise, she was forced to yelp when she was whisked away by his strong arms and carried like a baby towards the back exit.

With a giggle, Bing Shi easily melded herself into his comforting arms.

Xuan Mu, feeling the need to explain himself, said to Bing Shi “We’re going home.”

“Okay,” Bing Shi whispered as she clutched onto him tightly. She closed her eyes in relief. She really didn’t want to go back to that room with all of those people. They felt suffocating.

On their way, Xuan Mu made sure nobody could see them... It wasn’t really that hard, but still, he felt that secrecy was best. Once he arrived at the back of the restaurant, he walked towards the black car which drove here by itself.

Bing Shi waved at Baby, and it responded by blinking its light at her.

After seating and buckling both of them, Xuan Mu stepped on the gas and drove around the city.

“Wow, hubby... Supporting these types of pollutants... Are you really a founder of an environmentally friendly company?” Bing Shi lightheartedly teased him as she enjoyed the ride. A sense of déjà vu overwhelmed her when everyone who’d seen the car, pulled out their phones in order to take a photo of Baby.

“Do you expect me to drive an EV?” he responded, “Whether it’s polluting the air or not, I appreciate the vintage feeling of the gasoline engine.”

(EV = electric vehicle.)

Vintage? This? Bing Shi looked around the futuristic interior and pressed the touch panel, going through its various functions. What was wrong with this particular Baby? It could transform? Really?

‘Oh right, I almost forgot to bestow Silika’s ex a surprise visit.’

· · — · ???· — · ·

“Fire this manager now. He didn’t listen to me, even though I’m the president of the Mo group.” Mo Luwei suddenly fired Silika’s manager. His abrupt orders shocked everyone into a stunned silence.

As Mo Luwei walked out of the private room with an extra flair of dramatics, his PA followed right after him. When he was alone with only his PA by his side, he would harshly say, “I’ll cut your wage in half if you don’t find out who took Su Min away!”

‘Min’er...’ Mo Luwei watched as his PA scrambled away in a panic. He crossed his arms as he thought of Su Min with regret, ‘I’ll explain everything to you in the future. You just wait for me.’

From beginning to end, there was only one person occupying Mo Luwei’s heart. That person was the only one he truly loved. Despite dating Su Luqin, his heart would only chant, ‘Su Min, Min’er, Min Min... Look at me, look at me, look at me.’

Did that make him a scum man? Well, Mo Luwei wasn’t afraid to acknowledge that yes, he was a scum man. He had kicked aside his love (his heart began to chant again: Su Min, Min’er, Min Min... ) for Su Luqin, who he only dated out of guilt. But once he found out that it was Su Min who saved him five years ago, the guilt he felt towards Su Luqin had dissolved into indifference.

When by himself, Mo Luwei finally acknowledged his attraction towards Su Min. Sure, he was only slightly fond of Su Luqin but, in the end, she still wasn’t Su Min.

Bing Shi and Aoi Hong appeared too late in Mo Luwei’s life. As a result, his feelings towards them weren’t anything special and, not to mention, his feelings couldn’t magically transfer to another woman... By the time they had arrived, he was already far too tangled up in the web that was Su Min. If Bing Shi and Aoi Hong arrived earlier in his life, however? Before Su Min could bury herself deep into his garden heart?

Well... One could only imagine the story that would have otherwise unravelled.
