Chapter 2: First Night — The CEO Is Not As Cold As He Looks

The heavy bedroom door clicked shut behind them, sealing the couple inside the luxurious master suite. Soft golden lights from crystal chandeliers bathed the room in a romantic glow. The 360-degree cameras hidden in every corner continued recording, though the broadcast switched to “private mode,” blurring anything too explicit for the millions watching live.

Gu Siye gently set Lin Xiaoxiao down on the enormous king-sized bed covered in silk sheets. He stepped back, crossed his arms over his broad chest, and looked at her with icy detachment. “You really think I’ll touch you just because of some ridiculous variety show?”

Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t flinch. Instead, she sat cross-legged in the center of the bed, her sheer silk nightgown slipping slightly off one shoulder. With a sweet yet shameless smile, she replied, “Mr. Gu, I did my homework before coming here. Your company is preparing for an IPO next quarter. A clean, loving husband image broadcasted to the entire nation would be excellent for your stock price, wouldn’t it? This is a win-win situation.”

She patted the empty spot beside her invitingly. “Come on, let’s at least practice kissing for tomorrow’s ‘chemistry test’ segment. I promise I’ll be very professional about it.”

Gu Siye stared at her in silence for several seconds, his dark eyes unreadable. The atmosphere in the room grew thick with tension.

Suddenly, he moved. In one fluid motion, he leaned down, placing one large hand on the headboard behind her, trapping her body beneath his tall frame. His voice dropped to a low, magnetic whisper that sent shivers down her spine. “Professional? Then show me exactly how professional you can be, Miss Lin.”

Outside in the live broadcast hall, the bullet comments erupted like fireworks:

【I’m dead. This CP is already sailing at full speed!】

【From zero to one hundred real fast!!】

【Xiaoxiao, teach me your ways! This girl has zero shame and I love it!】

【Gu Siye finally moved! My screen is on fire!】

【Hurry up and kiss already, the whole country is watching!】

Lin Xiaoxiao’s heart pounded wildly in her chest, but she kept her expression calm and playful. She slowly reached up, her slender fingers gently tugging at the collar of his black silk pajamas. Leaning closer until their faces were only inches apart, she whispered softly, her breath brushing against his lips:

“Then… close your eyes, husband.”

Far outside the villa, Weibo and all major social platforms exploded simultaneously. Trending topics shot to the top of the hot search list within minutes:

Back in the bedroom, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled faintly in the dim light, her eyes sparkling with ambition and mischief.

She had only just begun her counterattack. With the system on her side and a powerful man in front of her, the road to becoming the most popular star — and mother — in the country was wide open.
