Chapter 1139: Ruthless CEO 29

After finishing work discussions, Li Shuangtong suddenly asked, “Your ex-husband… hasn’t come to harass you recently, has he?”

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then shook her head. “No. He doesn’t have that kind of reach here. S City isn’t his territory, and I’m also working at LS Group.” She hesitated slightly, then added, “Mr. Li… you wouldn’t fire me because of him, right?”

Li Shuangtong answered immediately, “Of course not. Even if I have to confront him head-on, I won’t push you away.”

Tang Wan looked at him with a slightly stunned expression, then her eyes softened. “Mr. Li… you’re really kind to me.”

After a light sigh, she said, “If I had met you earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have married Fu Yunshan.”

Li Shuangtong’s gaze deepened. “It’s not too late now. I can still treat you better.”

Tang Wan blinked, clearly surprised.

Li Shuangtong cleared his throat and continued more seriously, “I’m not usually interested in women. But you are an exception.”

His voice lowered slightly. “You’re like a magnet to me. I don’t know how to describe it more romantically, but I just feel drawn to you. The more I interact with you, the more I can’t pull away.”

In his mind, he thought calmly: this kind of timing is perfect. Unlike Fu Yunshan, he wouldn’t waste such an opportunity.

Tang Wan stared at him slightly blankly. “Mr. Li… you…”

“Don’t call me Mr. Li,” he interrupted lightly. “Call my name.”

Tang Wan’s eyes curved slightly. “Then… Tongtong?”

Li Shuangtong paused for a second. No one had ever called him that before, and it felt strangely intimate.

After a short cough, he nodded. “Yes. That’s fine.”

Tang Wan smiled. “So… Tongtong means you like me?”

“Otherwise?” he replied without hesitation.

“But I’m divorced,” she said softly, testing his reaction.

“So what?” Li Shuangtong said calmly. “Divorce doesn’t take away your value. It only proves the man who left you was blind.”

Then, with a faint smirk, he added, “Actually, I should thank Fu Yunshan. If he weren’t so blind, I wouldn’t have the chance to say this to you now.”

Tang Wan’s expression softened instantly. “Tongtong… thank you. No one has ever said something like that to me before. You’re the first person who truly acknowledges me like this.”

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 3: I Am Your Father

“Even if what you say is true, what exactly are you?” “I’m not a thing! I’m a system! Haven’t you ever read system novels before?” the child said loudly. Tang Wan finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Your name really is Daddy? Can’t your name be changed? I could even be your mother. Aren’t you embarrassed making me call you Daddy?” “The name can’t be changed. Every system has a serial number, and my number is called Daddy!” In reality, his number was 88. But since 88 sounded like “Daddy,” why not let the host call him father? He really was a clever little ghost, taking advantage of the host verbally like this! He silently gave himself a thumbs-up. ... Looking at his old-fashioned expression, Tang Wan couldn’t help stepping forward and reaching out her hands to knead his cheeks. “It feels nice, just like a real person. Are you actually alive?” Tang Wan asked in surprise. As Tang Wan pinched his cheeks, they immediately turned red. Then, with a stern expression...
