On my wedding day, I suddenly discovered I could hear my husband Lucas’s inner thoughts. He put on a poker face and sternly warned me, “Now that you’re marrying into my family, you need to behave yourself, understand?” I stared at him, but heard another voice from deep inside him: ‘Honey, be good, don’t go picking wild flowers!’ 0 On my wedding day, I suddenly discovered I could hear my husband Lucas’s inner thoughts. He put on a poker face and sternly warned me, “Now that you’re marrying into my family, you need to behave yourself, understand?” I stared at him, but heard another voice from deep inside him: ‘Honey, be good, don’t go picking wild flowers!’ I thought I had misheard, so I glanced at Lucas, but his mouth was tightly shut. I asked, “What did you just say? Say it again.” “I never repeat myself!” Lucas’s lips were pressed into a thin line, but I clearly heard another voice: ‘Oh no, I must have said something too harsh and upset my wife. I’m such an idiot!’ I finally confirmed that what I heard was indeed Lucas’s inner thoughts. This discovery shocked me so much that I couldn’t process it even until the end of the wedding. Lucas and I had been engaged since childhood. But twenty years had passed, and now he was the sole heir to the Zhou Corporation, while I was just a B-list actress in the entertainment industry. I had assumed this childhood engagement was long invalidated. However, not long ago, the old Chairman Zhou, Lucas’s grandfather, suddenly fell seriously ill. To bring him good fortune, the Zhou family found me and held today’s wedding. I thought this was just a fake marriage to appease Old Mr. Zhou. I never expected there would be such an unexpected gain! In the evening, after all the guests had left, only Lucas and I remained in the new room. “Since you agreed to this marriage, you should know the price of marrying into the Zhou family. I won’t touch you, but you’re also not allowed to fool around outside.” Lucas’s face was cold, as if even the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees. At the same time, a shadow rose from his body. It was a miniature version of Lucas, pulling his hair with a frustrated look: ‘What nonsense am I saying?! Honey, please pretend you didn’t hear that. Let me say it again. I want to touch you, I really do!’ Wow! So his inner thoughts had materialized? I was a bit surprised and tentatively said, “I didn’t hear what you just said. Can you say it again?” “I said, I never repeat myself!” Lucas slammed the door and angrily left. Little Lucas covered his face, and his sobbing voice came back intermittently: ‘I’m such a useless person. I can’t say anything embarrassing, wah wah wah…’ The room fell silent. I sighed. Men, even when given a chance, you’re still useless! That night, I slept alone in the luxurious bedroom of the 5000-square-foot villa, very sweetly. Early the next morning, I got up early, preparing to visit Old Mr. Zhou with Lucas. As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Lucas sitting alone at the dining table, looking gloomy. Even Little Lucas beside him was lying dejectedly on the table, looking like he hadn’t slept well. “Morning.” I greeted cheerfully. The dejected Little Lucas immediately stood up, took small steps to me, clasped his hands, and greeted me shyly: ‘Morning, honey. I made breakfast for you. Come see if you like it.’ He hadn’t rested well because he was making breakfast for me? I was stunned for a moment, feeling a warm current in my heart. My parents passed away early, and I had lived alone for many years. No one had cared about me for a long time, let alone willingly prepare breakfast for me unconditionally. I quickly walked to the table and sat down, picking up a steamed bun and putting it in my mouth. The juice was deliciously fragrant. “Delicious!” I spoke affirmatively. Lucas’s face remained cold without response, while Little Lucas circling around him spun happily. 0
After breakfast, I went with Lucas to the Zhou family’s old house. Old Chairman Zhou was seriously ill but didn’t like the atmosphere of hospitals, so he had always been recuperating at home. When we arrived, besides the family doctor, there was also a girl. She had appeared at the wedding yesterday. If I remember correctly, she was introduced to me as Chloe, Lucas’s cousin. Seeing Lucas, Chloe immediately stood up and came over: “Cousin Lucas, you’re here!” She was visibly excited, pulling Lucas into the room as if she hadn’t seen me standing beside him. Lucas moved unhurriedly, ignoring Chloe, and instead walked into the room slowly with me. Pulling me to the bedside, Lucas spoke to Old Mr. Zhou on the bed, “Grandpa, we’ve come to see you.” I also greeted him, “Grandpa, are you feeling better?” Old Mr. Zhou seemed to be in good spirits, nodding continuously at me and Lucas, his eyes even becoming moist. “Good, seeing you two married makes me feel better! All my illnesses are gone.” “Lucas, Olivia lost her parents early. You must never bully her, understand!” Lucas nodded without hesitation. Chloe, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, finally found an opportunity to interject: “Grandpa, don’t worry. No one can bully Olivia. She has someone backing her up.” As soon as she spoke, she successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Old Mr. Zhou asked puzzledly, “Chloe, what do you mean?” Chloe rolled her eyes, her mouth pouting high: “Grandpa, you don’t follow the entertainment industry, so you don’t know. Olivia is Director Johnson’s favorite. As long as it’s Director Johnson’s drama, she’s sure to play the second female lead. Everyone says, lead actresses come and go, but Olivia is always there!” “With Director Johnson around, no one dares to bully her.” Chloe’s words were too strong; even with my years of rhinitis, I could smell the strong sourness. Lucas and Old Mr. Zhou both fell silent. After a while, Old Mr. Zhou lifted his eyelids and slowly said, “Chloe, you’ve been busy here all morning too. Go home now.” “Alright.” Chloe nodded happily and excitedly left the room. As she was leaving, her inner voice reached my ears: ‘You little bitch, just wait. How dare you think you’re worthy of marrying my Lucas! Only I am worthy of Lucas.’ … I was no longer surprised at being able to hear others’ inner thoughts, but I couldn’t help glancing at Lucas. Hmm… I wonder if Lucas knows about his cousin’s thoughts? As soon as Chloe left, Old Mr. Zhou spoke to me: “Olivia, is what Chloe just said true?” Faced with Old Mr. Zhou’s concerned face, I didn’t hide anything and nodded directly. I thought he would despise me, but unexpectedly, Old Mr. Zhou’s face was moved: “You’ve suffered so much, only being able to play second female leads all these years. Don’t worry, I’ll tell Lucas to open a media company right away, guaranteeing you’ll be the lead actress!” “???” Ah, this… No! How come Old Mr. Zhou’s focus seems a bit different? Aren’t wealthy families supposed to be most wary of actresses like me who are involved in scandals? I fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment. It was Lucas who spoke up, resolving the awkward situation for me: “Grandpa, the Zhou family can afford to support a woman. She doesn’t need to go out and make a spectacle of herself.” “That’s right, that’s right. This old man is confused. Olivia, don’t take what I said seriously. You just need to marry into the family and enjoy life, you don’t need to do anything!” 0
As we left the Zhou family’s old house, I immediately saw Chloe standing by the roadside. Seeing Lucas’s car come out, she quickly walked over, leaned on the car window and said: “Cousin Lucas, can you come with me for a moment? I have something I want to tell you.” “No.” Without any hesitation, Lucas directly refused. The engine roared under his foot, and he left without any delay. Little Lucas clenched his fists, his face angry: ‘Chloe is still too idle. She had to jump out and upset my wife on a good day of visiting. It seems I need to find something for the Lin family to do!’ The little shadow was full of anger, its aura soaring. I was stunned again. I had guessed that Lucas would be angry, but I didn’t expect it would be because of this. I originally wanted to explain about Director Johnson, but Lucas not only didn’t ask, he didn’t even doubt it in his heart. Does he trust me that much? Or does he simply not care? Before I could figure it out, we had already returned to the Zhou house. Lucas dropped me off, said he was going to the company, and drove away directly. I thought for a moment and called Director Johnson directly, asking to meet him sometime. When it was about time, I left the Zhou house. I arrived earlier than the appointed time and was about to order something while waiting for Director Johnson when I suddenly sensed an uncomfortable gaze. At the same time, a familiar shadow popped out from somewhere, circling around me. It was Little Lucas. ‘Honey, please don’t meet with other men. I’m begging you, please leave.’ I looked at Little Lucas spinning like a top, confused. How did Lucas know I was here? Did someone follow me? And report to him? Most likely it was Chloe, wanting to ‘catch me in the act’, so she brought Lucas here. Suddenly, my vision darkened as someone sat down, interrupting my thoughts. “Olivia, why did you suddenly ask to meet? You know I can’t leave the set…” It was Director Johnson who had arrived. Although he complained, his face was all smiles. If you looked closely, you could even see a hint of caution and fawning. I sighed, looking at the angry little version of Lucas beside me. This is bad! In this situation, it’s hard not to misunderstand. Sure enough, the next second Chloe jumped out from the seat behind me. She pulled Lucas, her face showing the joy of successfully catching someone in the act, and pointed at me while shouting: “Olivia, you shameless woman! You just married my cousin and now you’re meeting other men!” I was speechless and rolled my eyes. Director Johnson was startled at first but quickly calmed down. Being in the entertainment industry, he had seen such scenes countless times. He glanced at me, then loudly retorted to Chloe: “Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? Olivia and I have a working relationship. Besides, this isn’t the feudal era. Can’t normal men and women even meet?” “Working relationship? Pah! I think it’s a bedroom relationship!” Chloe sneered, her nose in the air: “Your affair is well-known in the industry. Do you think everyone else is stupid! If there’s nothing between you two, why would you always cast Olivia? She’s the second female lead in all your dramas. Now you’re secretly meeting for tea, if we hadn’t caught you, the next step would be going to a hotel!” Once Chloe started talking, she went on and on without giving others a chance to interject. After finishing in one breath, Chloe stood with her hands on her hips, her face proud and smug. And her inner voice transmitted directly into my ears without any filter: ‘I’ve always said that only I can be with Cousin Lucas. Olivia, you shameless woman, you’re not even worthy of polishing my shoes!’ Chloe turned her head to look at Lucas, waiting gleefully for disgust towards me to appear on his face. But unfortunately, she was going to be disappointed. 0
Lucas’s face was expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard Chloe’s words. His eyes were fixed straight on me, and only on me. He didn’t say a word. Little Lucas, however, was circling around me, pleading pitifully: ‘Honey, say something, make up any excuse, so I can drive Chloe away. She’s so annoying!’ I could barely hold back my laughter, almost bursting out. Holding back my smile, I looked at Lucas, never imagining that the cold and serious-looking man would have such cute thoughts. Our eyes met, and Lucas’s originally burning gaze suddenly shifted, as if he had actively moved away. He turned his head, looking at Chloe with a hint of anger: “Is this the important matter you mentioned?” “Cousin Lucas, she’s fooling around with other men behind your back. Isn’t this…” “Enough!” “I…” Chloe’s face was full of dissatisfaction, still wanting to argue. Lucas shouted: “It’s not your place to meddle in my family affairs. Get lost right now, or don’t blame me for being impolite!” Chloe shrank her neck, not daring to continue arguing after all. But she still glared at me resentfully, her gaze venomous, constantly cursing in her heart: ‘Bitch! Making Cousin Lucas scold me, I won’t let you off easily! Let’s see how you handle this today!’ The atmosphere was tense. Director Johnson looked at me helplessly, and took the initiative to speak to Lucas: “Mr. Zhou, hello. My name is Johnson. Please, have a seat and let’s talk.” Lucas glanced at him and didn’t move. Little Lucas clenched his fists, alternately hammering heavily on Director Johnson’s head, indignantly saying: ‘I won’t sit down. How dare you date my wife? I’ll beat you up!’ ‘No, why shouldn’t I sit? This is my wife. I should not only sit but also hug her while sitting!’ There was a thud beside me as Lucas’s long arm swept out, pulling me entirely into his embrace. A clean, crisp scent enveloped me, and inexplicably, I felt my heart rate accelerate. It was ‘thump, thump’ like a startled deer bouncing around everywhere. “Mr. Zhou, I assure you that Olivia and I have absolutely no relationship other than our work in drama; all my scripts are provided by Olivia. Because Olivia needs to be on set to give instructions at any time, she occasionally guest stars in supporting roles during her free time.” Director Johnson explained. But as soon as he finished speaking, before Lucas could respond, Chloe jumped in: “Stop lying! Don’t think I don’t know, your scripts are all works by the famous screenwriter Arrow Heart, not by Olivia at all. This excuse won’t fool anyone!” Director Johnson was a bit impatient, his voice tinged with anger as he said to Chloe: “Arrow Heart is Olivia’s pen name.” Director Johnson then pulled up his email page and handed his phone to Lucas: “Mr. Zhou, these are the emails between Olivia and me. You can take a look. The attachments are script content, and the text is discussions about the script content.” The emails were one after another, at least a dozen pages. Randomly opening one, it was full of large sections of script content. Lucas flipped through them expressionlessly, but Little Lucas was already overjoyed. ‘I knew it, my wife isn’t what they say at all. My wife is a great screenwriter, so amazing!’ Little Lucas danced and waved his arms, as if he wanted to do a ballet spin and somersault right there. On the other side, Chloe’s face had turned ashen. She refused to believe it, waving her hand to knock the phone out of Lucas’s hand. “This is all fake! Cousin Lucas, don’t be fooled by these two. Anyone can send this kind of email. It doesn’t prove anything. Olivia is just a slut, she doesn’t deserve…” Slap! A clear slap interrupted Chloe’s words. She held her face, looking at me in shock, full of disbelief. “Olivia, how dare you hit me? What right do you have to hit me?”
