The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

The morning sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Su Wanwan opened her eyes and found herself lying on a strange bed. Everything that happened last night flooded into her mind like a tide, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Turning his head to look beside him, Huo Yanshen had already stood up and was standing in front of the window, staring into the distance with a frown on his face.

"Yan Shen?" Su Wanwan called softly.

Huo Yanshen came back to his senses, turned to look at Su Wanwan, and forced a smile, "Awake? How do you feel?"

Su Wanwan sat up and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. "I'm fine, and the baby is quiet." She paused, "How about you? Did you sleep well last night?"

Huo Yanshen shook his head. "I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about my father."

Su Wanwan was about to speak to comfort him when her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Huo calling.

The two exchanged a wary look, and Huo Yanshen signaled Su Wanwan to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Wanwan," Mr. Huo's voice came through the phone, "Where are you and Yan Shen? The wedding planner has arrived at home, waiting to discuss the wedding details with you."

Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. At this moment, Huo Yanshen took over the conversation.

"Grandpa, Wanwan and I have some things to deal with, so we may not be back until later."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Mr. Huo's meaningful voice came, "Really? What's so important, more important than your wedding?"

Huo Yanshen was silent, and Su Wanwan noticed that his expression became extremely complicated.

"Okay," Mr. Huo finally said, "Come back as soon as you finish your business. Remember, the wedding is in three days, and time is running out."

After hanging up the phone, the room fell into silence.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Do we really want to have the wedding? Under this circumstance?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "I've been thinking about this as well. But if we cancel the wedding suddenly, I'm afraid it will arouse more suspicion."

Su Wanwan nodded, but her heart was full of contradictions. She originally thought that she was ready to marry into a wealthy family, but now, everything has become so complicated and dangerous.

"So what should we do now?" Su Wanwan asked.

Huo Yanshen walked over to Su Wanwan and held her hand. "We will go back as planned and act as if everything is normal. But remember, no matter what happens, don't trust anyone easily."

Su Wanwan nodded in agreement, but she couldn't hide her uneasiness in her heart.

Back at the Huo family mansion, the wedding planner had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen walking in hand in hand, she immediately came over to greet them.

“Great, you’re finally here. We have a lot of details to confirm,” the wedding planner said enthusiastically.

In the next few hours, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were surrounded by various wedding details, from wedding dress styles to flower decorations, from banquet menus to guest lists, every item needed their confirmation.

However, Su Wanwan's mind had already drifted away. She nodded mechanically and made a choice casually, but her mind kept replaying the shocking truth she discovered last night.

"Ms. Su?" The wedding planner's voice brought Su Wanwan back to reality. "What do you think of this wedding dress style?"

Su Wanwan forced a smile and said, "Very beautiful. This is it."

Huo Yanshen noticed that Su Wanwan was absent-minded, and gently squeezed her hand, silently conveying his support.

At this moment, Mr. Huo walked in.

"How is it? Is everything arranged?" Mr. Huo asked with a smile.

The wedding planner nodded repeatedly, "It's almost done. Mr. Huo and Ms. Su are very satisfied with every detail."

Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Su Wanwan, "Wanwan, come to the study with me later. I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface, "Okay, old man."

Huo Yanshen glanced at Old Man Huo warily, but said nothing.

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan came to Mr. Huo's study alone. The moment she opened the door, she took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm.

"Please sit down, Wanwan." Old Master Huo pointed to the chair opposite.

Su Wanwan sat down carefully, waiting for Mr. Huo to speak.

"Wanwan," Mr. Huo's voice suddenly became serious, "Are you really ready to marry into our Huo family?"

Su Wanwan was shocked, but she remained calm, "Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Mr. Huo gave Su Wanwan a meaningful look and said, "The Huo family is not an ordinary family. Joining the Huo family means that you will have to take on many responsibilities and face many challenges. Are you sure you are ready?"

Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Grandpa, I know the status and responsibility of the Huo family. I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the Huo family."

Mr. Huo nodded, seeming to be satisfied with the answer. But then he said, "So, how much do you know about the 'Dark Phoenix'?"

This sudden question made Su Wanwan feel like she was falling into an ice cave. She suppressed her inner shock and pretended to know nothing, "'Dark Phoenix'? What is that?"

Mr. Huo's sharp eyes stayed on Su Wanwan's face for a long time, as if he was judging the truth of her words. Finally, he slowly said, "It's nothing, just the nonsense of an old man. You can go and take care of the wedding."

After leaving the study, Su Wanwan realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat. She didn't know whether Mr. Huo was just asking casually or testing her.

After returning to the room, Su Wanwan immediately told Huo Yanshen about the conversation in the study.

Huo Yanshen's expression became unusually serious. "It seems that Grandpa may also be involved in the 'Black Phoenix' incident. We must be more careful."

Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly felt dizzy. She held onto the wall and managed to stand steady.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?" Huo Yanshen hurriedly supported her.

Su Wanwan shook her head. "I'm fine. Maybe I'm too tired recently."

Huo Yanshen helped Su Wanwan sit down and said softly, "If you feel too stressed, we can postpone the wedding."

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yan's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. But then, she thought of the dangers hidden in the darkness.

“No,” Su Wanwan said finally, “We must proceed as planned. Only in this way can we find out the truth and protect our children.”

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You are right. But Wanwan, promise me that if you feel any discomfort or danger, you must tell me immediately."

Su Wanwan nodded in agreement, but secretly made another decision in her heart. If the crisis really came, she would bear everything alone to protect Huo Yanshen and the child.

As night fell, the Huo family mansion was brightly lit. The wedding preparations were still in full swing.

Su Wanwan stood in front of the window, looking at the city lights in the distance. Three days later, she would marry into the Huo family under the spotlight of the public. But at this moment, her heart was filled with confusion and fear.
