Matrimonial Millions: A Billionaire's Odyssey

Outside, the moon rose above the treetops, casting silver light everywhere. Inside, it was a tale of two worlds – water and fire clashed violently, waves rolling and crashing against a small boat, tossing and turning, white foam flying. Breaths intertwined, desires peaked, supple waists and bosoms swayed, clinging and swaying, the bed rocking. Ding--- Day 1094 of married life, check-in successful! The tingling sensation faded as the man departed, leaving Lin Qianluo to exhale deeply, the warmth still lingering on her face. He pulled her into an embrace, planting a kiss on her forehead, a hint of post-passion lingering. As she gazed at his handsome profile, she spoke somewhat untimely, "Tomorrow, we..." Before she could finish, he ruthlessly cut her off, "Sleep." Lin Qianluo: "..." The next day, "My Contractual Marriage with the Overbearing CEO, Day N" updated on a well-known novel website as scheduled. Soon, comments flooded in: "What a hypocrite! He says he doesn't like the female lead, yet he still sleeps with her!" "Their contractual marriage is supposed to last for three years, is today the day for divorce?" "Yes, the author said it's been three years, and it feels like we've been reading the author's biography instead!" "Although the male lead is rich and handsome, and even gives a monthly allowance, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are too disgusting. I still recommend divorce." "Exactly, the female lead lives too miserably, it's infuriating. The male lead has never once stood up for her. Let's wait for the divorce!" "..." Lin Qianluo casually glanced at the comments and got out of bed. Another busy day was about to begin. In the morning, she had to stew bird's nest for her mother-in-law, mastering the heat perfectly because her mother-in-law was picky and only liked hers. Today, due to reading comments, she was a bit late. Her mother-in-law gave her a displeased look, "If you think I'm too demanding, you can choose not to stew. It would save me from waiting for so long." Lin Qianluo just smiled and didn't say anything. Her mother-in-law looked at her in surprise. Normally, at this time, she should apologize first and then promise not to be late again, right? Lin Qianluo remained expressionless, turned and went upstairs. Her mother-in-law had said she was a top student, so she might as well go and tutor her sister-in-law's son. As soon as she pushed open the door, she was sprayed in the face with a water gun. The naughty child held the water gun and shot straight at her face, "Biubiubiu, I'll shoot you to death!" Lin Qianluo wiped the water off her face. Suddenly, a sentence from the comments flashed in her mind. "If they divorce today, can the author let the female lead assert herself once? I've been waiting for so long, feeling so stifled." She put down her hand and suddenly shouted sternly, "Ho Shi!" Ho Shi was Ho Bingxin's beloved child, born out of wedlock. He was spoiled rotten. The naughty child immediately burst into tears when he saw her fierce expression. Ho Bingxin rushed over upon hearing the commotion, saw her son crying, and accused Lin Qianluo angrily, "Sister-in-law! How dare you hit my son? What did Ho Shi do to offend you?" Lin Qianluo had sincerely tried to tutor Ho Shi before, but this child was too mischievous and never listened to her. Since she was leaving now, she might as well give her sister-in-law a piece of advice. She said, "Ho Bingxin, I suggest you have another child." Ho Bingxin looked at her in astonishment, "What do you mean?" "Ho Shi probably has some intellectual problems. He's five years old, and he can't even add six and seven together. The closest he got to the answer was twelve. Maybe you should take him to the hospital or let him rely on his looks in the future?" Lin Qianluo said seriously. "You!" Ho Bingxin pointed at her and scolded, "How dare you say that about my Ho Shi? What are you, really? Do you think you're someone important?" She had heard these words countless times over the past three years. This time, instead of remaining silent, she raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Are you done cursing?" Ho Bingxin looked at her cold expression and suddenly didn't know what to say. "Always the same words, can't you come up with something new? Even if I'm not good enough, your brother married me properly. If you're unhappy with me, you can tell your brother directly. Let's see if he divorces me." Lin Qianluo said indifferently. Three years, and she finally made it! Ho Bingxin was also unsure why she suddenly became so tough. Holding her son, she looked at Lin Qianluo angrily, "Do you think I don't dare?" "You can go, don't worry, I won't stop you." Lin Qianluo shrugged. She wished someone would remind Ho Siyue about the divorce now. Just as Ho Bingxin was about to erupt again, someone knocked on the door, "Madam, Mr. Ho is waiting for you in the study." Lin Qianluo's eyelashes trembled, as if she knew what was going to happen next, her face showing neither joy nor sorrow. Ho Siyue was very punctual. She remembered that it was about this time three years ago when they signed a marriage contract with an additional prenuptial agreement. Now, it was about the same time, and they should be getting a divorce. Lin Qianluo looked at the divorce agreement in front of her, with numerous clauses, but only one related to her, and that was to leave empty-handed. Ho Siyue sat across from her, his hands crossed, expressionless, as if waiting for her questions. Undoubtedly, he met her aesthetic standards; otherwise, she wouldn't have married him against her will. His face was sharp and angular, with slightly slanted eyebrows, beautiful peach blossom eyes, slightly upturned corners, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He looked like a heartless man. After confirming there were no other issues, Lin Qianluo picked up the pen to sign. Just as she uncapped the pen, he suddenly spoke, "If you don't want a divorce, everything stays the same. If you want a divorce, I'll compensate you with an additional billion." Lin Qianluo's hand trembled. Was there such a good deal? She didn't serve his whole family for three years in vain! Without hesitation, fearing any delay might cost her the billion, she quickly signed her name twice and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Ho." Ho Siyue: "..." Was she so eager to divorce? Lin Qianluo walked out of the study, her heart almost flying! She held the card in her hand, eagerly returning to her room to pack her things. When she was halfway through, the maid knocked on the door, "Madam, Miss's flowers, you haven't watered them today." A glint flashed in Lin Qianluo's eyes. She said, "I'll come." In the backyard, there was a flower garden, planted with Ho Bingxin's favorite orchids. Since the day they arrived, she had taken care of them, while Ho Bingxin only occasionally looked at them, never watering them.
