Hi Stepmother

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer
Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

In the presidential private room of Spring River Century Hotel.

"Beep."

A ray of light suddenly fell from the door of the darkroom.

Gu Ruoyan nervously pinched the corner of her pajamas. Her forehead was covered in rivulets of cold sweat as she stared at the man sitting on the bed.

There was a silk scarf tied to his eyes, revealing clear facial contours. Even though the light was dim, one could still see that the man had delicate facial features. His cold and cheerless face was facing Gu Ruoyan. His thin lips curved slightly. He smiled leisurely and said, "Yanyan, since when do you like to play this?"

Her nails straightly dug into her palms. She did not answer Li Shaojue's question. Instead, she took a slow step forward and put her hands around the man's neck stiffly. She closed her eyes and kissed him gently.

Their lips pressed against each other, stirring up a wave of passion.

A cold and refreshing scent of the man's body invaded Gu Ruoyan's senses. He turned over and pressed her under him. His lips and tongue pried open her teeth and forcefully broke through all the barriers in her mouth.

Gu Ruoyan's cheeks were flushed red. She was kissed until her whole body went soft and she was gasping for breath.

In the dark, the scarf suddenly slid down. Gu Ruoyan was shocked and she noticed that he wanted to turn on the light. She hurriedly said, "Don't!"

As soon as the voice came out, Gu Ruoyan's expression paused, and she tried to soften her voice as much as possible. She said in a trembling voice, "I'm shy..."

"Alright."

"Yanyan, I will be gentle. You can relax." Li Shaojue felt the fear in her voice. He stopped and stroked her face comfortingly.

"Hmm..."

It was not until the latter half of the night that Gu Ruoyan was exhausted, and that the man who was hugging her let out the sound of breathing in deep sleep.

She gently lifted her eyes. The man's cold chin and thin lips were close within reach. The bridge of his nose was high, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face. He was undoubtedly handsome.

However, this had nothing to do with her.

Restraining the emotions in her eyes, she forced herself to get up, put on her pajamas, took the room card, tapped it on the door of the adjacent room, and entered.

In the room, a woman in the same pajamas as hers was playing with the mobile phone. When she heard the noise, she immediately looked up. Her face, which strongly resembled Gu Ruoyan's face, was filled with expectation. "How was it?"

"Done."

Gu Ruoyan said casually and straightened her back with a stubborn look in her eyes.

Gu Moyan looked at Gu Ruoyan with disdain and pointed at the water and pills on the table. "Eat them."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to return to the adjacent room when Gu Ruoyan grabbed the corner of her pajamas.

"What do you mean?" She asked angrily, glaring at Gu Ruoyan, "Do you want to go back on your words?"

Gu Ruoyan's expression was slightly cold as she stood still, "Where's the money?"

"My dad has already prepared the money and he is waiting for you at home. You can leave." Gu Moyan pulled back her pajamas, rolled her eyes at Gu Ruoyan, and muttered in a low voice, "Haven't you seen money, country bumpkin?"

The door was slammed shut, and the empty room returned to silence.

More than ten years ago, her parents divorced and her sister, Gu Moyan, who was younger than her by a year, followed her father. She and her mother were kicked out of the house.

After that, a mistress entered the house and Gu Moyan was spoilt by her to be unruly. Gu Moyan thus became the number one socialite whom everyone in C City admired.

On the other hand, Gu Ruoyan was working while studying. After studying at university in a thrifty manner, her life was about to get better. Unexpectedly, her mother was diagnosed with gastric cancer. Now, she was still lying in the hospital because she couldn't afford the operation.

Just when they were at their wit's end, her father and sister found her and said that as long as she used her virgin body as a substitute overnight for her sister to stabilize the marriage with the Young Master of the Li Family, they would give her three hundred thousand.
