This time it really hurt. So, it seemed the previous reaction was just a fluke—or does it only work when Mu Wan is the one hitting him?

Mu Wan was overwhelmed with embarrassment because of his actions. She snatched the plum branch from his hand and said sternly, though her tone was slightly lacking in confidence, “You’re not reflecting on your behavior at all! You’re punished to kneel on that keyboard until it breaks before you can go to bed. And for now, you can only sleep on the sofa!”

Hearing that he was relegated to the sofa, Kuang Ye immediately lost all his suggestive thoughts. He quickly clung to Mu Wan, putting on a pitiful act. “Jiejie, don’t do this. It’s cold in winter, and I’ll catch a cold on the sofa. Plus, your feet are always icy at night. I need to warm them for you.”

Mu Wan shook him off, stomped upstairs, and brought a blanket down for him, her face still flushed. “You’re not allowed, period!”

After delivering the blanket, Mu Wan went back upstairs.

Kuang Ye realized his plan had completely backfired. Slumping in frustration, he shifted uncomfortably on the keyboard. Muttering to himself, he said, “What kind of keyboard has such good quality?”

Why would a hotel’s e-sports suite even have such a sturdy keyboard? Don’t they know how to cut costs?

Grumbling under his breath, he pulled out his phone to start writing his self-reflection. A strong man doesn’t complain about his circumstances. He thought it’d be better to quickly appease his wife.

But just then, he noticed a notification. Kong Shuai, who had never sent him a message since they added each other on WeChat, had suddenly sent him two.

Kong Shuai: “I don’t care who you are, but if you treat Wan wan badly in the future, I’ll take her from you.”

Kuang Ye snorted and replied:
Kuang Ye: “Thanks, but you won’t get the chance.”

He had worked so hard to be with the girl he’d been crushing on for so long. He’d be crazy to treat her poorly.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the apartment, Mu Wan was browsing search engines. Her screen was filled with:

“What to do if your boyfriend is a submissive?”
“How to handle not satisfying your boyfriend’s kinks?”
“How to use a whip so it feels good but doesn’t hurt?”
“A guide to self-cultivation for female dominants.”
Kuang Ye had no idea that his sudden mischief downstairs had thrown his future wife into deep anxiety and frustration upstairs.

At the same time, classmates who had attended the reunion were posting about the “Jian Jia CP” on social media, sharing their sweet moments and making fans squeal with joy.

When Kuang Ye’s identity as the CEO of Suyou Technology was exposed, people were shocked. After all, it was hard to reconcile the image of an e-sports legend with that of a tech company’s CEO.

Fans frantically visited Suyou’s official website to confirm the rumors and found their answers. Su You’s CEO^[1]For all those readers who are confused, let me clarify, Kuang Ye is the CEO in name but Tang Ce is the CEO who do the job., Tang Ce, even wrote a heartfelt post, thanking Kuang Ye for his support during the company’s early development stages:
Tang Ce: “Without Kuang Ye, there would be no Su You today.”

Fans were astonished:

“Wait, Su You was founded around the time Kuang Ye just started his professional career, right? How did he have so much money?”
Tang Ce: “He used all his signing bonuses and even borrowed money from his teammates. He believed in us.”
“That’s so risky! Wasn’t he afraid of losing everything?”
Tang Ce: “I was his tutor and later his schoolmate. He trusted me.”
Tang Ce had been studying electronic engineering at MIT. His family was also in the tech industry, and despite not having graduated at the time, he already had some reputation in the field. Many people were interested in their project back then, but all wanted to buy it outright—no one wanted to invest.

Except for Kuang Ye.

He put up the money but didn’t interfere, giving the team the greatest support and freedom they needed.

Fans marveled at Kuang Ye’s vision:

“He’s got such foresight! Now he’s effortlessly worth billions!”
“Reminder: He’s been worth billions for a while now. Don’t forget the signing bonuses revealed by the league last year.”
“Amazing, but does this mean he’ll quit playing professionally now that his hand is injured?”
“Worried +1.”
“Logically, retiring now would cement his legendary status. But as a fan, I still want to see him on the battlefield.”
“No, he promised to win us a global championship! He can’t retire yet!”
Amidst all the online chaos, Kuang Ye posted on Weibo:
Kuang Ye: “Who’s the idiot saying I’m retiring? Even if you all quit the fandom, I won’t retire.”

The accompanying picture showed his hand undergoing acupuncture treatment.

Fans went wild:

“Ahhh, the Wild God himself said it—he’s not retiring! I can still see him getting pentakills on the stage!”
“That hand, OMG, hand fetishists rejoice!”
“P.S. Someone Photoshop out the needles, thanks.”
“Done! Sisters, feel free to take the edited pic!”
“LPL League Official: Watch your language, fine incoming!”
“Haha, did Wild God forget there’s a fine for swearing? Retiring and quitting are different, you know!”
“Wild God: ‘I’ve got plenty of money, I’ll swear for 100k yuan if I want to.’”
Meanwhile, the Jian Jia CP fandom exploded with joy. Some fanfic authors immediately revised their works to reflect this new “CEO and domineering president” character development:

“Finally! I don’t need to force the OOC anymore. I can write lines like, ‘Woman, you’re playing with fire!’”
“Office roleplay is now on the table.”
“Authors, give us more content!”
One sharp-witted fan asked Tang Ce about the origin of Su You Technology’s name. They hadn’t forgotten the backstory of the Jian Jia CP’s ship name.

Fan: “Was the name Su You chosen by Kuang Ye?”
Tang Ce: “Yes, he named it. His crush at the time had the character ‘Wan’ in her name, and he hoped their love would be like the poem from The Book of Songs: Suo Wei Yi Ren, Zai Shui Yi Fang. Su Hui Cong Zhi, Dao Zu Qie Chang. Su You Cong Zhi, Wan Zai Shui Zhong Yang.^[2]The one I long for is on the other side of the river.
