"Now that we've got the evidence of his crimes, isn't it a piece of cake to take him down?" Hua Yueye couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he watched her looking so angry.
"Right! Let's call the police right now and make him pay the price he deserves." Su Qingwen quickly straightened up, clutching the hard drive tightly in her hand.
"Okay." Hua Yueye nodded slightly, his eyes turning extremely profound.
The next day, evidence of Shen Lingyun's tax evasion was submitted to the tax bureau. Due to the large amount involved, he had committed a crime. Soon, the police arrested Shen Lingyun.
It was a real pity for Su Qingwen that she didn't get to witness the satisfying scene of Shen Lingyun being arrested with her own eyes.
Right then, she was watching the live broadcast on TV. Just as she was engrossed, Hua Yueye pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the serious - looking woman sitting there, Hua Yueye couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. "How long have you been watching? Why do you keep replaying it?"
"I'm just carefully analyzing that bastard's micro - expressions. Look at how painful he looks!" Su Qingwen shifted her gaze back to the TV and said happily.
"True. But it's a bit exaggerated for you to keep watching like this." Hua Yueye placed the snacks he had brought for her on the coffee table. "These are from the newly - opened cake shop opposite the company. They look good, so I bought them for you."
"Thanks." Su Qingwen smiled. She could never resist delicious food. Happily, she popped a mung bean cake into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and then asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you. How many years will Shen Lingyun be sentenced to?"
"According to his crimes, he's very likely to get a life sentence." Hua Yueye narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning cold.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and then smiled in satisfaction. "Great! That's exactly what I want. Anyway, I hate him so much. I hope he'll never get out in his life."
"So naughty." Hua Yueye gently scraped the tip of her nose and said dotingly.
"Indeed! People like him deserve it. I definitely have to curse him properly." Su Qingwen stroked her chin and said.
Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she looked up at Hua Yueye. "Now that Shen Lingyun has been arrested, I'm no longer in danger. So I've decided to go back to my own home."
"No way." Without even thinking, Hua Yueye flat - out refused.
"Why?" Su Qingwen looked at him in shock, her eyes full of confusion.
"Anyway, you can't go back. You've been freeloading at my place for so long. You've got to give something in return." A glint flashed across Hua Yueye's eyes, and he looked a bit unnatural.
"Why should I?" Su Qingwen felt so angry that she almost exploded. She rolled her eyes so hard that they almost popped out. After all, it was Hua Yueye who had invited her here in the first place. How could he ask for a return now? It was just too much.
"Come on! You were the one who invited me here in the first place, and now you're saying this. I protest!" Su Qingwen gave the man a disdainful look.
"Your protest is invalid. In the game, you seem to be good at cooking. Well, you can just stay at my place and cook for me. Consider it as paying off your debt." The man curled his lips, and a sly look like that of a fox flashed across his eyes.
"You..." Su Qingwen gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Shameless!"
After saying that, she quickly ran upstairs. This annoying Hua Yueye couldn't speak properly, could he? Was it really that hard for him to just say that he wanted her to stay?
That night, Su Qingwen made mung bean cakes for him again. Thanks to her experience in the game, she was quite handy. Soon, she placed the mung bean cakes on Hua Yueye's desk.
However, she had added a special seasoning to the mung bean cakes, something that would surely make Hua Yueye remember this forever.
Imagining his reaction when he ate the mung bean cakes, Su Qingwen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" As soon as Hua Yueye walked in, he saw her giggling stupidly there and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Nothing. I just remembered something really funny. Well, the mung bean cakes are ready. Come and have some quickly." Su Qingwen immediately wiped the smile off her face and pushed the mung bean cakes in front of the man.
Humph! Soon she would get to see Hua Yueye look embarrassed. Su Qingwen narrowed her eyes and thought, feeling extremely happy.
Hua Yueye glanced at her, then picked up a mung bean cake and pretended to put it into his mouth. But just as it was about to enter his mouth, he stopped and stuffed the cake into Su Qingwen's mouth. "You've been working so hard making these mung bean cakes. So this first bite is a reward for you."
"Hmm?" Su Qingwen was so stuffed with the mung bean cake that she could hardly speak. She almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Thinking that she had worked so hard to make these mung bean cakes, she definitely couldn't let them go to waste. She had to make Hua Yueye eat them.
She chewed mechanically. Suddenly, the taste of mustard hit her head, and she almost fainted. Even so, she didn't show it. She just tightly clutched her fingers and tried her best to act normal.
"Is it delicious?" Hua Yueye stared into her eyes, smiling enigmatically.
"Delicious." Su Qingwen's face turned completely red. She took a deep breath and forced herself to swallow the mung bean cake. "It's really good. Hua Yueye, you should have a try too."
"No thanks." Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and gave her an interested look. "Suddenly, I don't feel like eating it."
"What?" Su Qingwen was almost crazy. This was so messed up. She had eaten the mung bean cake with mustard in it first just to get him to take the bait, but he just said he didn't want to eat it. Wasn't this a waste of her efforts?
"Come on! I've already made them. It's such a waste if you don't eat them. Hua Yueye, how can you treat other people's hard - work like this?" At that moment, Su Qingwen finally understood what "lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot" meant. She had wanted to play a prank on Hua Yueye, but instead, she had been the one tricked.
"Well, then, to avoid wasting them, you can eat them all." With that, Hua Yueye placed the mung bean cakes in front of Su Qingwen and stared at her leisurely.
"I..." Su Qingwen could hardly stand the taste after just one bite. Now, asking her to eat them all was like asking for her life. No way! She couldn't do it. She quickly waved her hand. "Forget it. I don't want to eat them."
Seeing her like this, Hua Yueye couldn't hold it in any longer and lowered his head to laugh.
Suddenly, Su Qingwen realized that this man had known her trick all along and had been teasing her! He was so sneaky!
