The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Su Wanwan's fingers gently stroked the words on the envelope, her heart beating like a drum. "Investigation report on the truth of the Su family's bankruptcy" - these words seemed to have magic power, making her eager to know but afraid to face it.

Just as she was hesitating whether to open the envelope, footsteps were heard outside. Su Wanwan quickly put the envelope back in its place and pretended to tidy up the desk as if nothing had happened.

"Wanwan?" Huo Yanshen's voice came from the door, "Why are you here?"

Su Wanwan turned around and smiled calmly, "I couldn't sleep, so I came here to find a book to read."

Huo Yanshen walked into the study, his face slightly tired and drunk. "I had a party with some old friends today and drank a little too much." He explained, his voice slightly unclear.

Su Wanwan then noticed his slightly red cheeks and slightly messy clothes. She was moved and remembered the tradition about the wedding night.

"Yan Shen," she said softly, "Today is our wedding night, do you remember?"

Huo Yanshen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled gently: "Of course I remember. Sorry, I should have accompanied you."

He walked forward and held Su Wanwan in his arms. The faint aroma of wine lingered at the tip of her nose, and Su Wanwan suddenly had a bold idea.

"It's okay," she said with a smile, "How about we make amends now? I'll go get you a cup of sobering tea."

While Huo Yanshen was resting on the sofa, Su Wanwan quickly prepared a pot of tea. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not add anything to the tea. She decided to use her own way to make Huo Yanshen open up.

"Here," she handed the cup to Huo Yanshen, "Drink some tea, you will feel better."

Huo Yanshen took the teacup and took a sip. His eyes were a little blurry, but he always looked at Su Wanwan tenderly.

"Wanwan," he suddenly asked, "Do you regret marrying me?"

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, but she soon calmed down. She held Huo Yanshen's hand and said softly, "How could it be? I love you, Yanshen."

Huo Yanshen's eyes flickered, as if he was about to say something but hesitated. Su Wanwan keenly caught this detail and decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Yan Shen," she asked softly, "Are you worried about something? If you have any troubles, you can tell me. We are husband and wife, we should trust each other, right?"

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was the atmosphere of the wedding night, Huo Yanshen's defense seemed to relax. He sighed, and his eyes became deep and complicated.

"Wanwan," he said slowly, "sometimes I wonder, if I were not a member of the Huo family, would our lives be simpler?"

Su Wanwan was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface. "Why do you say that?" she asked softly.

Huo Yanshen smiled bitterly, "You know what? I have always had doubts about my life experience."

Su Wanwan held her breath and waited quietly for what was to come.

"When I was a child, I heard my grandfather and father arguing," Huo Yanshen continued, his voice a little erratic, "They mentioned a secret about my origins..."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's cell phone suddenly rang. This sudden ring interrupted his words and also made him sober up instantly.

"Sorry," he said, picking up the phone. "Hello, Lu Wei? What's up so late?"

Hearing Lu Wei's name, Su Wanwan immediately became alert. She carefully observed the changes in Huo Yanshen's expression, trying to read some information from it.

"Okay, I got it. I'll deal with it tomorrow morning." Huo Yanshen said and hung up the phone.

He turned to Su Wanwan with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, Wanwan. There are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with at the company."

Su Wanwan suppressed the disappointment and doubt in her heart, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, work is more important. You go ahead and do your work, I'll wait for you here."

Huo Yan looked at her with gratitude, quickly tidied his clothes, and left in a hurry.

The room was silent again. Su Wanwan sat on the sofa, thinking about everything. Huo Yanshen's words just now kept echoing in her mind. What secrets did he have? Why did Lu Wei call at this time?

Her eyes involuntarily drifted to the desk. The envelope containing the Su family bankruptcy investigation report seemed to be waving at her. Su Wanwan bit her lip and finally walked towards the desk.

Just as she was about to open the envelope, footsteps were heard again. Su Wanwan quickly put the envelope back to its original place and turned around, pretending to tidy up the bookshelf.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen's voice came from behind, "Are you still awake?"

Su Wanwan turned around and smiled gently: "I'm waiting for you. Have you finished your work?"

Huo Yanshen nodded, with an apologetic look in his eyes: "Well, it's all resolved. I'm sorry for leaving you here alone on our wedding night."

Su Wanwan walked up to him and hugged him gently: "It's okay, I understand. You've worked hard, let's go and have a rest."

Huo Yanshen held her in his arms and kissed the top of her head: "Wanwan, thank you for your understanding. I am really lucky to marry you."

Su Wanwan leaned on Huo Yanshen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She knew that under this seemingly calm surface, there were too many secrets and mysteries hidden. The mystery of Huo Yanshen's life experience, Lu Wei's sudden call, the truth about the Su family's bankruptcy... All of these were like a huge net that tightly enveloped her and Huo Yanshen.

But at this moment, on this wedding night that belonged to them, Su Wanwan decided to put aside all her doubts for the time being. She looked up into Huo Yanshen's eyes and said softly, "Yan Shen, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Huo Yanshen's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just hugged her tighter. "I know," he whispered, "we will face it together."

The two embraced each other and walked towards the bedroom, and the curtain of the wedding night slowly opened. However, under this seemingly sweet atmosphere, countless mysteries and secrets were surging in secret, waiting to be revealed.

Su Wanwan lay on the bed, listening to Huo Yanshen's even breathing, but her mind could not calm down.
