"Anyone you dislike, I'll handle. Anything you don't want to do, I'll take care of." Charles Yin's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Cecilia Gu's body trembled violently!
"Just tell me—what kind of ending do you want for him? I'll make it happen!" Charles Yin's fingers gently brushed Cecilia Gu's rosy lips. Even without any makeup, they were still soft and alluring.
It seemed that kiss just now had really stirred her emotions.
This discovery instantly delighted Charles Yin.
"Should I ruin his company? Or make him lose everything and be disgraced?" Charles Yin continued, his voice full of dominance. "Just say the word, and I'll do it."
Charles Yin's words made everyone present react differently!
Zach Zhao, of course, knew Charles Yin was capable of such things!
From the very first moment he saw this man, he knew Charles Yin was a true king.
Every dragon has its reverse scale—touch it, and you die.
Zach Zhao hadn't known what his reverse scale was before, but now he did.
But it was already too late...
Even though Charles Yin's words sounded so overbearing, no one else thought there was anything wrong with them!
Some of them were even wildly jealous of Cecilia Gu—why wasn't Charles Yin protecting them instead?
"Okay..." Cecilia Gu didn't know what to say anymore. How was she supposed to keep up this act?
Charles Yin was even more into the role than she was!
Cecilia Gu glanced at the influencer girl standing nearby, staring at Charles Yin with infatuation. Suddenly annoyed, she looked up and half-jokingly, half-seriously asked Charles, "What if I said I don't like this car and want to smash it?"
When Charles Yin heard that, a wickedly handsome smile instantly appeared on his face.
That smile was so dazzling, it practically blinded everyone.
Charles Yin didn't say a word, just raised his left hand.
The next second, Alex had already dragged Zach Zhao out of the driver's seat.
Ben pulled out an iron rod from the car and smashed it hard into the driver's seat!
The influencer was so startled by the sudden chaos that she screamed and fled from the passenger seat.
Alex and Ben worked together, and in just a few hits, the less-than-a-million sports car's driver's seat was completely wrecked!
Cecilia Gu's mouth dropped open in shock, completely incredulous.
"Little Mole, I'm very satisfied with your performance today." Charles Yin's smile grew wider. "Tonight, your reward is to cook me dinner!"
A reward for making dinner...
Well, that was the payment she’d agreed on with him.
Cooking dinner was no big deal.
At that moment, someone quickly opened the car door for Charles Yin and Cecilia Gu. Without even glancing at anyone else, Charles Yin wrapped his arm around Cecilia and got into his Rolls-Royce.
It was only then that the stunned onlookers realized who had just been showing off their romance in the street!
Aaaah... this was just too much!
The mighty CEO of Yin Enterprises was actually married!
Everyone finally realized what had happened!
Seeing Zach Zhao and the influencer both looking completely dumbfounded, Cecilia Gu felt totally vindicated!
Even after getting in the car, Cecilia Gu was still savoring the feeling of satisfaction.
Charles Yin leaned back in his seat with an air of elegance, his eyes glinting and his lips curled in a half-smile as he looked at Cecilia.
Seeing Cecilia Gu's triumphant expression, Charles Yin felt completely satisfied too.
Yeah, he loved putting exes in their place.
Especially when it was his woman's ex.
It wasn't until the convoy had gone far away that Cecilia Gu finally snapped out of it and thanked Charles Yin, "Thank you. If you hadn't shown up just now, I don't know how I would've handled him!"
"No problem. Acting out a scene for a home-cooked dinner—pretty worth it." Charles Yin looked at Cecilia with a bright smile, his bad mood from earlier completely gone.
His gaze landed on the two wedding rings around Cecilia's neck, and Charles Yin almost wanted to whistle.
Yeah, he was in a fantastic mood.
Cecilia Gu didn't notice the reason for Charles Yin's sudden good mood—she just thought he'd figured something out on his own.
"I can cook dinner, but don't expect too much," Cecilia replied. "My skills don't compare to the chef at home."
Charles Yin nodded slightly. If he could eat her terrible fried noodles last time, surely nothing could be worse than that!
Cecilia thought about it—Charles Yin really had helped her out today, and her morning sickness had finally passed. Time to show off her cooking skills!
With that in mind, Cecilia said to Alex, "Alex, I'll make a list of ingredients. Please get them ready for me."
"Yes, Mrs. Yin!" Alex replied happily.
Seeing Cecilia ask Alex to prepare so many ingredients, Charles Yin's mood got even better.
Ben took a call and quietly whispered something into Charles Yin's ear.
Charles Yin's eyes remained calm as he replied leisurely, "Let her do whatever she wants."
Cecilia Gu had no idea who Charles Yin was talking about. She was naturally aloof and didn't like meddling in other people's business, so she didn't ask.
If she'd known Charles was talking about Lydia Lin, she probably wouldn't be in the mood to cook dinner.
Meanwhile, Lydia Lin really was suffering in silence.
All her careful preparations had ended up with Charles Yin treating her like a gift for another man.
At that moment, she finally understood how Cecilia Gu must have felt back then.
A normal person would probably feel guilty, regretful, and wish they hadn't treated Cecilia that way.
But Lydia Lin was different—she thought the way she'd been treated wasn't because Charles Yin hated her, but because Cecilia Gu must've talked badly about her behind her back, making Charles misunderstand and give her away as a gift!
So after being tormented by Mark, Lydia Lin fled the boxing lounge and decided to lay low, secretly plotting revenge against Cecilia Gu.
Right now, Lydia Lin was wrapped up in a long hooded dress, covering herself from head to toe.
She couldn't let anyone see the bruises on her body, and even more, she couldn't let anyone notice the marks of passion she'd just gotten!
She was furious! She was absolutely fuming inside!
It was all Cecilia Gu's fault!
If it weren't for Cecilia Gu, how could she have ended up like this?
Just as Lydia Lin was sneaking back to her rental apartment, she passed a plaza and overheard a girl clutching her phone, fangirling like crazy: "Oh my god, he's so handsome! Charles Yin is really so handsome! Is that woman next to him his wife? When did Charles Yin get married? His wife is so lucky! Ugh, I'm dying of jealousy! The CEO of Yin Enterprises! My dream guy got married—my heart is breaking!"
What?
Lydia Lin stopped in her tracks!
She spun around and glared at the girl with the phone, demanding, "What did you say? What did you just say? What's Charles Yin doing?"
"Hey, who are you? Can't you check the local news yourself?" The girl rolled her eyes at Lydia Lin. "It's all over the city now—Charles Yin, the CEO of Yin Enterprises, secretly married and his love for his wife has been exposed. He smashed his wife's ex's luxury car to stand up for her."
Lydia Lin snatched the girl's phone and flipped through a few pages. When she saw the candid photos of Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin together, Charles's eyes gentle and his actions careful, as if afraid of hurting her, Lydia nearly coughed up blood from rage!
How could he!
How could he treat her like a gift for another man, and then turn around and be so gentle with Cecilia Gu?
Cecilia Gu didn't deserve that kind of tenderness!
That tenderness should belong to me, Lydia Lin!
Lydia Lin couldn't hold back her anger any longer and was about to smash the phone on the ground!
But the girl was quick and snatched her phone back, tearing Lydia Lin's hood off in the process. Seeing the bruises on Lydia's neck and face, she shouted, "Everyone, come look! What's all over this woman's face and body?"
Lydia Lin was startled and, not wanting any more trouble, pulled her hood back up and hurried away from the crowd.
She didn't stop running until she reached a deserted spot, where she leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
