Born in the countryside, with a father who died young, a mother who remarried, and a gravely ill grandmother.
Decades later, the mother who abandoned her suddenly shows up and demands that she marry a dying man in her younger sister’s place?
Hah. Does she have no shame?
Xia Xin presses her lips together and smiles, unbothered by everyone’s scorn. She storms into the He household alone, determined to uncover the truth about the man’s death all those years ago.
…
“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. But sometimes, it’s hard to tell who’s the oriole and who’s the cicada.”
She thought hacking into the company of a dying man would be beneath her skills. But could someone tell her why her useless husband had suddenly sprung to life, pressing her beneath him with such vigor?!
Wasn’t he supposed to be on his last legs?
The man smiles seductively, touches the corner of the lip Xia Xin had bitten, pins her wriggling beneath him with one hand, then bends to kiss the corner of her reddened eye.
“I never knew the black fox I’d been searching for all this time was right by my side. You really are a little vixen, aren’t you?”
Hearing him expose her identity as a hacker with such ease, Xia Xin laughs instead of getting angry and kicks him right off the bed. “Vixen your sister!”
The man grins from ear to ear. The next day, he takes charge and personally hacks his own company.
Xia Xin: “???” Is there something seriously wrong with him?
“Typing wears you out. Whatever else you want to do, just tell your husband. I’ll do it for you.”
