But she never expected that the smooth progress of her plans was actually orchestrated by Ye Zhongjue.

Cunning little white rabbit Mo Suqing and honest big gray wolf Ye Zhongjue, both approached each other with their own intentions, waiting for the other to fall into this "trap" of love.

Little did they know that in this game of love, they were both each other's prey and each other's redemption.

Recap

As the night fell, in the bustling bar, Mo Suqing was thinking of ways to set up a scene where she would coincidentally meet her "special someone." It seemed like a scene straight out of a hero saving the beauty, which perfectly matched the romantic atmosphere of the bar. Mo Suqing gathered a group of extras and staged a play in a corner of the bar, injecting a touch of romantic drama into this carefully prepared encounter.

In a corner of the bar, Ye Zhongjue had already noticed everything, pretending to be engrossed in the ambiance and the drink in his hand, but his gaze never left the girl in the distance. That girl was Mo Suqing. The script was unfolding, and everything was progressing according to the plot designed by Mo Suqing. When the passionate pair found themselves alone in a room, they involuntarily became shy. The more they wanted to get closer, the more they maintained a sense of distance.

Ye Zhongjue couldn't miss this seemingly accidental but meticulously planned opportunity. He was preparing to invite Mo Suqing when he was rejected by her. He turned and left. It seemed like a brief encounter, but it sparked Ye Zhongjue's curiosity. The identity card that Mo Suqing accidentally left in the room seemed to give Ye Zhongjue an even closer opportunity. As Mo Suqing stepped out of the room, a cunning smile appeared on her face. This love game had only just begun.

Mo Suqing returned home, and it seemed like a storm had already been brewing, ready to pour down the moment she arrived. Just as she sat down, her younger sister greeted her with mockery. Mo Suqing didn't care much because she knew her sister's tendency to add fuel to the fire and rarely did anything good. Her sister directly presented intimate and ambiguous photos of Mo Suqing with her so-called current boyfriend. After all, even though she was her sister, there was no reason for her to cross the moral line.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, her so-called scumbag boyfriend refused to admit anything, and her father, ignoring the facts, sided with his son-in-law, the benefactor. Mo Suqing turned around, ready to leave, but was stopped by her father and ordered to apologize. This family was already suffocating, and there was no point in staying. Instead, she took this opportunity to shatter her father's illusions and leave this home. Mo Suqing severed ties with this family, dragging her suitcase and leaving. As she walked along the road, someone called out to her. That person was Ye Zhongjue. Ye Zhongjue had also found this place by following the address on her ID card. Mo Suqing secretly delighted in her heart. Isn't this just falling into the trap?

Following Ye Zhongjue's reasons for persuading her, Mo Suqing went home with him. On the way, it seemed awkward between them, but in reality, both of them were excited about achieving their respective goals. Upon arriving home, Mo Suqing repeatedly urged Ye Zhongjue to quickly produce his ID card. However, Ye Zhongjue kept diverting the topic, trying to shift Mo Suqing's attention elsewhere, hoping for further progress between them. But Mo Suqing interrupted him in time, preventing his attempts. Eventually, Ye Zhongjue had no choice but to hand over his ID card. Mo Suqing took the ID card and stood up to leave, but Ye Zhongjue stopped her, blurting out in a moment of urgency that he wanted to take her away from the Mo family. Emotions surged within Mo Suqing, but she quickly regained her composure. How could this man, whom she had only met for the second time, know so much about her situation? It raised doubts in her mind, but it also provided her with a perfect opportunity to stay. After all, her initial goal was to get close to the CEO of this extraordinary corporation.

So, they made three agreements: they could stay, but they should not develop unnecessary associations with each other.

The first night of their cohabitation under the contract unexpectedly became a secret battlefield for testing each other's identities. A sudden power outage in the house almost exposed Ye Zhongjue's disguised identity as an electrician. Faced with the jumbled wires, Ye Zhongjue was at a loss. This incident only fueled Mo Suqing's suspicion about Ye Zhongjue's true identity. Ye Zhongjue, who claimed to be a professional electrician, couldn't even locate the fuse. Mo Suqing followed Ye Zhongjue outside and discovered that he quickly hopped into a luxury car. Why would someone wealthy go to such lengths to disguise themselves? This raised even more doubts in Mo Suqing's mind.

Recalling the night they first met, she had drunkenly expressed her disdain for mischievous wealthy people. Could it be that this statement had planted a seed in Ye Zhongjue's mind, prompting him to disguise himself as a penniless youth to win Mo Suqing's admiration? On the other hand, while Ye Zhongjue was buying fuses, he was also clutching a book on appliance repairs as a last-minute resort.

Returning home, as the lights came back on, Mo Suqing looked at Ye Zhongjue before forming a plan in her mind. Since things had turned out this way, she decided to take advantage of the situation and test how long Ye Zhongjue could keep his secret hidden.

The morning sunlight scattered into the room as Mo Suqing woke up from her slumber. By her bedside, Ye Zhongjue, dressed in a suit, was drawing something. Mo Suqing couldn't help but feel shy and was about to ask a question when Ye Zhongjue suddenly approached. In an instant, their lips were close together, and Mo Suqing's restless heart couldn't be concealed. The two of them quietly enjoyed the moment, but they were interrupted by an alarm clock. Mo Suqing opened her eyes, and Ye Zhongjue was busy in the corner of the kitchen, preparing breakfast. He expressed apologies for disturbing Mo Suqing's sleep. Mo Suqing couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. At her age, she was still having such dreams. She quickly changed the topic.

During their meal, Mo Suqing deliberately hinted about wanting to work at the Jueshi Corporation, a task left unfinished from the previous night. Ye Zhongjue's reaction was extremely unnatural, but in order to maintain her image as a destitute individual, Mo Suqing remotely staged a self-interview scene. Mo Suqing looked at everything before her and let out a knowing smile. The sight of this esteemed CEO of the Jueshi Corporation was unexpectedly adorable.

Mo Suqing designed a trap to ensnare Gu Jiannan and Mo Sulian, and their unscrupulous deeds were exposed in public. Mo Suqing's ingenious plan was a great success. On one hand, it dealt a blow to Mo Sulian's arrogance at home and outside, and on the other hand, it affected Gu Jiannan's reputation in the company. The only imperfection was that Mo Suqing didn't expect Mo Sulian to react with furious rage, causing an unexpected injury to herself. When Mo Suqing returned home, Ye Zhongjue discovered it and assumed it was Gu Jiannan's doing. Unable to restrain his anger, he impulsively met Gu Jiannan late at night. In the heat of the moment, Ye Zhongjue lost his brief rationality and proposed relinquishing his shares, asking Gu Jiannan to voluntarily leave Mo Suqing. He couldn't bear to see Mo Suqing resorting to such dangerous methods for revenge.

Just when Gu Jiannan was contemplating this unexpected stroke of luck, Jian Jie suddenly appeared, capturing everything on her phone. She put a stop to their private transaction and prevented Ye Zhongjue's impulsive actions.

Jian Jie used to be the person Chairman Lao trusted the most. This time, she helped Ye Zhongjue return, intending to take the Jue Shi Group back from the hands of the bad guys. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhongjue used his own shares to buy Gu Jiannan for Mo Suqing. This made Jian Jie very angry.

Soon, the video of Gu Jiannan cheating with Mo Sulian spread throughout the entire company. Gu Jiannan remained unaware and still carried himself arrogantly during the board meeting. Angry, Jian Jie found Ye Zhongjue and questioned why he didn't attend the meeting. Unexpectedly, the information Ye Zhongjue gave her made her even more interested.

In order to handle this matter, Gu Jiannan actually troubled Mo Zhenfeng. He forced him to approach Mo Suqing and ask for her help as a witness. Otherwise, he threatened to jump off the bridge. Even though Mo Suqing saw through his poor acting, she couldn't resist her father's plea. Since they asked her to testify, she couldn't blame her.

Back home, Mo Suqing sat there lost in thought. She happened to see Ye Zhongjue return and he had brought her medicine. While carefully applying the medicine to her face, Mo Suqing tentatively asked him if his girlfriend is very beautiful. Ye Zhongjue immediately denied it, saying he didn't have a girlfriend. Hearing this, Mo Suqing then asked him what he was planning to do the next day and if there were any important matters. Perhaps she hoped that he could accompany her as well!

Jian Jie was still worried about Ye Zhongjue's arrangements and couldn't help but ask if he had everything in order. Ye Zhongjue reassured her that she could rest assured. Soon, the banquet began. Gu Jiannan and Mo Suqing entered the venue slowly. Upon seeing Mo Suqing, Ye Zhongjue immediately grabbed something from the table to cover his face, fearing that she would see him.

Quickly, Mo Suqing started explaining about Gu Jiannan's affair with Mo Sulian. Gu Jiannan knew it was all a performance, but he didn't expect Mo Suqing to take the opportunity to confess to Ye Zhongjue. Her words were full of praises and admiration for him as her loved one. Gu Jiannan felt that she was going a bit overboard with the acting. He even leaned closer to remind Mo Suqing that it was enough, but she completely ignored him.

However, when Mo Suqing mentioned Ye Zhongjue's name at the end, everyone was shocked. They thought she was deliberately insulting Gu Jiannan and making baseless connections. The crowd started demanding that security escort Mo Suqing out, but Ye Zhongjue stepped forward in big strides and stunned everyone with a passionate kiss.

Afterward, he didn't forget to expose Gu Jiannan's true intentions, which caused Gu Jiannan to faint in anger and be taken to the hospital. On her way back, Mo Suqing was very angry. She was upset that Ye Zhongjue had concealed his identity and deceived her. However, she didn't know that all of this was because of her words. Nevertheless, Ye Zhongjue was happy to hear what she said at the banquet, and Mo Suqing couldn't deny her true feelings despite her words.

Mo Suqing denied the words she spoke at the banquet. Clearly, this was a case of indulging desires. Indeed, Ye Zhongjue was still persistent. He recalled the time when he was kidnapped by bad people and how Mo Suqing, even when he was in danger, saved him while pretending to be mute. It was from that moment that he had started to develop feelings for Mo Suqing.

Taking out the ring he had prepared long ago and setting up a romantic proposal scene, as soon as Mo Suqing entered the room, she was utterly stunned by the sight before her. She directly asked if he was proposing to her, and as expected, even though Ye Zhongjue knew that she might have a tiny bit of affection for him, it didn't affect his proposal. Just when he was feeling nervous in his heart, Mo Suqing stepped forward and responded to his proposal with a passionate kiss. The two of them finally established their relationship.

They went to a photography studio to take wedding photos. After going through almost all the wedding dresses, Mo Suqing didn't like any of them. Ye Zhongjue told her that wearing a white wedding dress symbolizes the beginning of happiness. However, Mo Suqing thought of it as a lie. She felt that putting on a wedding dress marked the start of a curse, a form of bondage. Due to disagreements during the photoshoot, Mo Suqing angrily prepared to leave. Suddenly, her eyes brightened as she saw a black wedding dress. It was truly beautiful and completely captured her attention. This was when they were able to perfectly finish the wedding photoshoot.

As soon as Mo Suqing returned home, she felt tired and quickly went to take a shower. After finishing her shower, she didn't forget to call out to Ye Zhongjue to help her dry her hair. As she looked at the wedding photos taken during the day, she couldn't help but recall the joy they experienced while taking the pictures. Then, as she glanced at Ye Zhongjue who was busy cooking, she suddenly realized that things were actually quite good, and life was also enjoyable.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that Ye Zhongjue had already prepared breakfast. Life felt quite blissful. After having breakfast alone, she leisurely started reading a book. Just then, people from the construction company arrived, inquiring about any improvements needed for the house. During their conversation, Mo Suqing learned that the house was specially designed by Ye Zhongjue himself. When the people from the construction company presented a blueprint, Mo Suqing was taken aback. Unintentionally, she recalled her childhood memories. It turned out that Ye Zhongjue was the so-called "little mute" back then, and the blueprint was a drawing she had made. Now, Ye Zhongjue had actually built her a complete home according to her drawing.

However, how could she just act as if nothing had happened? They had escaped from the bad people together, and while fleeing, her mother got into an accident while trying to save them. She had passed away, leaving this world forever. When she needed Ye Zhongjue the most, he chose to escape on his own. Mo Suqing had no intention of exposing him, and letting him carry this guilt was fine with her.
