The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

"Sebastian, you can't think like that. I have my own life goals, too, right? Besides, the temptation for government officials is high, but I've never seen any other woman's Facebook or contact info on Dad's phone. If the temptation was that high, wouldn't there be at least one woman around him?"

"To put it simply, it depends on the person. In the future, my husband doesn't need to meet any other standards except being handsome, upright, loving, spoiling me, and taller than me. I don't mind if he's from a poor family as long as there are no particularly annoying relatives. Ideally, he'd be a top student." This way, Molly could imitate Vera when she didn't want to do her homework.

However, Sebastian said, "Top students can be the most dangerous killers. Last year, I handled a case where an international student returned home, suspected his wife of cheating, and made a murder weapon to kill her. He was caught, but he knew the legal loopholes so well that he hasn't been convicted yet."

Molly said, "Sebastian, you're just nitpicking! So, are you saying I should marry an idiot?"

Ellie tried to mediate the argument between Sebastian and Molly, smiling as she said, "Sebastian is just worried that you're young and blindly fantasizing about love, which could trap you. Don't argue with him; he came back from his night shift just for you."

Molly was moved by Ellie's words. She felt she had been too harsh on Sebastian earlier, so she went over, wrapped her arms around his, and shamelessly leaned in. "Sebastian, don't worry. I'll definitely listen to you about who I marry in the future. I won't marry anyone you don't approve of."

Sebastian said, "Even if the Olteran family arranges it for you, you won't marry?"

"Sebastian, you're overthinking it. Shawn, Vincent, and Patrick would rather I stay single forever; they wouldn't arrange a marriage for me."

Sebastian replied, "That's great. I happen to agree with them."

Molly's final paper was completed under Ellie's guidance, and with some external help, she received an A for her final grade.

Then came the review week.

Molly and Vera went shopping happily together.

Vera followed Patrick's advice: either get reimbursed or use his card, but don't spend her own money.

Molly and Vera prepared for a wonderful week ahead.

They also went to the supermarket.

When people are idle and in a good mood, they always want to do something exciting to stir up the monotony of life.

Standing in front of the super Spicy Chicken Ramen, Molly and Vera stopped.

Looking at the fiery red packaging of the double-spicy Spicy Chicken Ramen, Vera couldn't take her eyes off it. "Shawn probably hasn't tried this, right?" Molly also looked at it and said, "Patrick probably doesn't even know what Spicy Chicken Ramen is, right?"

Molly and Vera exchanged glances, unable to resist the temptation, and reached out for it.

After paying, they carried their things home.

Vera said, "Hide it in your room; Patrick won't go in there."

Molly replied, "What if Patrick finds it and beats me?"

Vera bet, saying, "Don't worry, he won't go into your room. He knows you are a grown-up and needs privacy." Molly felt that her friendship with Vera was fragile; at critical moments, no one could count on anyone else.

Now Vera was so sure, but what if they got caught during a room search?

"How about..." Molly paused halfway through her sentence.

Because of their tacit understanding, Vera seemed to know what Molly was going to say.

Vera cautiously asked, "Isn't that a bit mean?"

Molly replied, "I don't know if it's mean, but it's definitely not very respectful."

When Shawn saw Molly and Vera come back, he eagerly walked up to check what they had bought.

Vera and Molly immediately stood side by side, hiding the items behind their backs, not letting Shawn see.

"Shawn, we didn't buy anything."

"What are you hiding behind your backs?" Shawn wasn't blind. Molly and Vera were being sneaky and definitely up to no good.

It must be that they had something good, but they didn't want Shawn to know about it.

He said, "Take it out. Let me see too."

Vera gave Molly a look, signaling her to retreat while she distracted Shawn.

Molly blinked, establishing cooperation with Vera.

"Shawn, come on, let me show you the good stuff I bought. It's really great." Vera took a step forward, coaxing Shawn and pulling him to the side. Shawn turned his head to look in the direction Molly was escaping.

Vera pulled Shawn, trying to show him other new and interesting things. "Shawn, don't look at Molly. She's just going to her room to change clothes." Shawn thought, 'I don't believe that!'

Molly ran upstairs and hid in Shawn's bedroom.

Once inside, Molly took out the Spicy Chicken Ramen she had hidden behind her back and looked around for a place to hide it. However, there was no place.

She muttered, "How about the closet? No, what if Shawn changes clothes and finds it?"

Molly kicked under the bed. "No, it's not hollow underneath."

Hiding it in a drawer was too simple. Where should she hide it?

Molly looked up and saw the ceiling light fixture, which was hollow inside.

Molly brought over a stool, stood on it, and secretly stuffed the Spicy Chicken Ramen inside.

Standing below, Molly applauded her cleverness.

Then, Molly walked out of the room and happened to run into Tom in the hallway.

"Ms. Olteran?"

"Tom?"

Tom glanced at the room behind her. Wasn't that Shawn's room?

Molly lied without blinking, "I came to talk to my dad, but he wasn't in the room, so I'm going to look for him."

After speaking, Molly calmly walked away with Tom.

Molly's sharp eyes saw Shawn being dragged by Vera in the living room. She said, "I found him. You go ahead with your work, Tom." After passing Tom, Molly let out a sigh of relief.

Molly, who had been pretending, was now on edge. Downstairs, Shawn noticed Molly hadn't changed her clothes.

"Didn't Vera say you were going to change clothes?"

Vera helplessly held her head; Shawn had such a good memory.

Molly immediately understood Vera's meaning. "I was going to, but then I thought this outfit looks pretty good too."

Molly sat next to Vera, keeping Shawn company in the living room.

After a while, Patrick came back.

Patrick's coat felt wet and cold to the touch.

"What did you do today?" Patrick asked casually.

Vera answered honestly, "Went shopping."

Vera had her hands behind her back, looking like the most obedient person, welcoming Patrick back.

Patrick walked over. "Did you do something bad today?"

Vera replied, "No!"

Patrick laughed. "You're not usually this well-behaved."

Patrick's casual remark hit Vera right in the heart.

Molly said nothing.

"Dear, where did Randall go?" Vera asked Patrick.

She hadn't seen Randall since she got back.

Usually, Randall would be lying on the couch, but today, he wasn't there.

After asking Shawn, she found out that Randall had been called away by Patrick's phone call.
