When the brothers, Si Jingyi and Si Yanli, entered the hospital room, Zhou Menghan, a veteran actress from Xiying Media, was in the middle of discussing her contract termination with Si Moyan.
Wen Yan sat on the sofa, appearing completely relaxed and at ease as she binged a TV show.
Seeing Si Jingyi and Si Yanli, Zhou Menghan gave them a slight nod. Second Young Master, Third Young Master.
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Zhou Menghan was known in the entertainment industry as the ultimate flower of wealth and nobility.
She was stunningly beautiful, but far from just a pretty face; her acting skills were exceptional.
She had won the Best Actress award three times for her television dramas.
Her husband, a wealthy CEO, came from a family of equal social standing and was very supportive of her career after they married.
She was one of the few female stars who had achieved tremendous success in both her career and her family life.
Si Moyan half-narrowed his dark, deep eyes. Why the sudden desire to terminate your contract?
As a highly capable actress who never relied on scandalous gossip to generate buzz, Zhou Menghan was one of the main pillars of Xiying Media.
Looking somewhat conflicted, Zhou Menghan explained, I'm in my thirties now and my husband and I still don't have children. I want to focus more on my family moving forward. Since my contract with Xiying Media is about to expire anyway, I hope President Si will kindly let me go.
Wen Yan appeared to be engrossed in her TV show, but in reality, she was happily scrolling through her Gossip System.
[Zhou Menghan really loves her husband way too much! Recently, her husband has been getting close to Gu Beichen. He even invested over a billion into Gu Beichen's projects to help him cover the losses he suffered from the Xie family.]
[What her husband actually wants is for her to terminate her contract and jump ship to Gu Beichen's Beiying Media.]
Si Moyan and Si Jingyi's expressions both shifted slightly.
Since when did Gu Beichen have the capability to persuade Zhou Menghan's husband?
Could it be that Gu Beichen and Zhou Menghan's husband were having a secret affair?
But that was highly unlikely. Zhou Menghan's husband was a certified straight man and a prominent business elite.
Menghan, you've been with Xiying Media for nearly eight years. We can be considered friends. If you truly wish to terminate your contract, I won't make things difficult for you. But are you really willing to walk away from Xiying Media? Si Moyan asked.
Zhou Menghan lowered her long eyelashes. President Si, to be completely honest, my husband wants me to sign with Beiying Media.
Just because your husband wants you to sign with them, does it mean you have to blindly follow his orders?
If this had been in the past, Zhou Menghan would have refused. However, over the last six months, her husband seemed to have grown distant and cold toward her.
She had suspected he might be keeping a mistress on the side, but after hiring a private investigator and secretly checking his phone, she found absolutely nothing suspicious.
Yet, as husband and wife, they hadn't been intimate in nearly half a year.
After agonizing over it, she placed the blame on herself. Perhaps she had been too busy with work and had neglected him.
Therefore, when he suggested she move to Beiying Media this time, she felt she had no choice but to agree in order to please him.
I am truly sorry, President Si.
Meanwhile, Wen Yan was digging deep into the juicy gossip surrounding Zhou Menghan's husband.
[Holy crap! This is way too mind-blowing!]
[What the hell! People actually play like this?]
[Reality really is stranger and way more explosive than fiction!]
Inside the hospital room, all three Si brothers silently pricked up their ears.
What exactly was this mind-blowing gossip? Hurry up and spit it all out at once!
Si Jingyi was an incredibly impatient person. He had to physically restrain himself from rushing over, grabbing Wen Yan by the shoulders, and shaking the answers out of her.
Wen Yan had never encountered such a bizarre secret before. She silently took three seconds to process the information in her mind.
[Gu Beichen is insane! As expected of the male lead, he actually opened an animal brothel overseas.]
[In that place, when it comes to sexual pleasure, human women are only ranked fifth.]
[First place goes to dolphins, second to sheep, and third to octopuses.]
[Female dolphins have no hyperpigmentation down there and are actually the original inspiration for succubi.]
[Once a normal man does the deed with one, he'll never be interested in human women again.]
[And Gu Beichen has managed to ensnare several big shots in Ye City using this exact business.]
[Plus, since it's located overseas, everything operates completely under the radar.]
[Zhou Menghan probably wouldn't guess in her wildest dreams that the mistress who ruined her marriage is actually a dolphin!]
The three Si brothers in the room were absolutely stunned.
Si Jingyi's pupils dilated in horror. His entire worldview was on the verge of shattering.
What the fuck!
Zhou Menghan's husband was into such perverted stuff?
Completely oblivious to the wildly shifting expressions on the faces of the three Si brothers, Wen Yan let out a cheeky giggle as she read the system's graphic descriptions of just how amazing dolphins were in that particular area.
[Once I complete my system missions, maybe I should gift Iceberg Si a female dolphin too?]
Si Moyan's face instantly darkened to the extreme.
He glared at Wen Yan with a look that suggested he wanted to chop her into eight pieces.
How the hell did that woman dare to even entertain such a thought!
If she actually dared to give him one, he would chop her up instead!
Si Moyan was never one to force things. Seeing that Zhou Menghan was adamant about terminating the contract, he simply nodded. I'll have Lu Zhou bring the termination agreement to you later.
Zhou Menghan breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you, President Si.
After Zhou Menghan left, Si Jingyi shot a meaningful glance at Si Yanli.
Si Yanli opened a thermos and poured out a bowl of soup. Eldest Brother, we brought you some nourishing soup. Drinking this will do wonders for your physical and mental well-being.
Si Moyan usually trusted Si Yanli, so he didn't think much of it and gave a faint hum of acknowledgment.
Wen Yan glanced at the bowl of soup, a careless smirk tugging at the corners of her lips.
[Drink up, drink up. Your second brother spiked it with a massive dose of aphrodisiacs. Let's see if you don't die of sexual frustration tonight.]
[Either way, I'm certainly not going to help you relieve it.]
Si Moyan's deep, narrow eyes suddenly narrowed into a dangerous squint.
Cold sweat unconsciously broke out across the foreheads of Si Yanli and Si Jingyi.
Their sister-in-law was truly fucking psychic!
She could even see through that!
Did this mean they wouldn't be able to keep a single secret around her in the future?
The handsome contours of Si Moyan's face grew taut, his gaze as sharp and icy as an arrow. The two of you, pour yourselves a bowl each and drink it!
[Hahaha, Iceberg Si actually figured it out! As expected of the eldest brother, his observational skills are pretty sharp!]
Si Jingyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Eldest Brother, I really don't think that's necessary!
Drink! His domineering and authoritative tone left absolutely no room for negotiation.
Under Si Moyan's intensely oppressive glare, Si Jingyi and Si Yanli were forced to drink a bowl each.
Si Jingyi wanted to die on the spot.
They had truly dug their own graves!
The next time they tried to play wingmen, they definitely couldn't do it in front of their sister-in-law!
That night, Si Jingyi and Si Yanli had to take freezing cold showers for a very long time before the effects finally wore off.
...
Back in the hospital room.
Since Wen Yan was there to take care of Si Moyan today, Lu Zhou had tactfully stayed away.
Si Moyan was a germaphobe and insisted on having a sponge bath every single night.
He glanced at Wen Yan, a hint of awkwardness crossing his handsome features. Go fetch a basin of water.
Wen Yan blinked in surprise. What do you need water for?
Si Moyan stared at her with deep, dark eyes. What do you think?
Wen Yan suddenly understood. She arched a delicate brow, a bewitching and flirtatious smile spreading across her lips. Hubby, do you want me to help wash your body?
Watching her mischievous, siren-like smile, the words that had been on the tip of Si Moyan's tongue changed. Don't dare?
Wen Yan's eyebrows shot up. Why wouldn't I dare? It's not like I'm the one losing out. Plus, it's a feast for the eyes, isn't it?
Seeing her act like a little pervert, Si Moyan gritted his teeth. Don't look where you're not supposed to.
Wen Yan gave him an ambiguous wink. Hubby, we're a married couple. Sooner or later, we'll have to bare it all with each other anyway. Don't be so shy.
