"Ugh …"

Xia Xue suddenly pushed Cheng Zilin away, and without any hesitation, she slapped half of his handsome face.

Chen Zilin's eyes suddenly turned cold. Her hit wasn't painful, but it wasn't light either. He could have avoided it, but he didn't.

"Xue'er, what's the meaning of this?"

Xia Xue also didn't expect that she would suddenly hit Cheng Zilin, but it had already happened and it was too late to regret it. Xia Xue bravely looked up at him, "I beat up a man that was frivolous to a girl, is it wrong?"

Xia Xue's gaze swept across Cheng Zhilin's slightly flushed face, her trembling fingers revealing her nervousness.

"Heh." Cheng Zilin held one hand in front of his pants pocket, "What's wrong with me kissing my own fiancee?"

Xia Xue gulped, her brain rapidly turning. "Bullshit!" I was coerced into marrying; this should have been a fake engagement! "

Xia Xue had lived in a wealthy family since she was young, but her personality was never as traditional as other young mistresses. Her love should not die on a political marriage, the so-called filial piety was not exchanging for a lifetime of happiness!

She had to admit that Cheng Zhilin was very outstanding. Amongst the many geniuses, he was the only one who held a position within the four great young masters of the imperial city. However, so what? He was not her man.

Cheng Zhilin's long and narrow eyes stared straight at her. Her elegant face was covered in a layer of frost, and her eyes were filled with resistance to this engagement.

The fingers of one of his hands, which he had placed in his trousers, suddenly curled tight. The flesh of his palm was throbbing with pain, but his thin lips were slowly curling up.

Cheng Zhilin took the initiative to release Xia Xue and took a step back.

His cold eyes coldly swept over Xia Xue, as if he was scanning an item. "Miss Xia seems to think too highly of yourself. If you don't want the position of fiancee, there are a lot of women waiting for you to ascend to the throne."

His tone changed too quickly, to the point that even Xia Xue was stunned for a few seconds.

Cheng Zilin took out his phone and made a call to Lin Yan, who was beside him.

Lin Yan was instructing the servants to redecorate Xia Xue's and Cheng Zhilin's room. This was because tonight was Xia Xue's birthday after 12 o'clock.

"Hey, Young Master Lin, the rooms are almost ready. The roses are also flown over from France, and they are the most fresh."

Qi Yan thought that Cheng Zhilin was just calling him to inquire about his progress, but he didn't expect that what Cheng Zhilin said next would make him feel somewhat surprised.

"Lin Yan, bring out Miss Xia's things and give her a room."

When Cheng Zhilin said this, even he felt a chill from his screen.

Lin Yan's fingers stopped moving and he looked at the servants who were already busy. The entire room was filled with the fragrance of roses, and now he said, "You want to sleep separately from Miss Xia?"

Meaning, even the decorations would have to be cancelled?

Aren't you going to surprise Miss Xia?

"Young Master Lin, I know." Many doubts were raised at the tip of his tongue, but he still obeyed the order.

After all, this was Young Master Lin's private matter and he shouldn't interfere.

After ending the call, Cheng Zilin lifted his eyelids and looked at Xia Xue. She opened her mouth slightly as if she was very surprised. At the same time, Cheng Zilin didn't miss the hint of surprise that flashed through her eyes.

Cheng Zilin suddenly felt that the birthday present he prepared wasn't any sort of surprise at all. She was eager to stay away from him, and having to live together with him for the past few months was simply too much for her.

Xia Xue bit her lower lip, unable to conceal the smile on her face. She could finally escape from Cheng Zhilin!

The smile on Cheng Zhilin's face was very ear-piercing, and the words he spat out were devoid of any warmth. "From now on, don't hang around in front of me."

After saying that, Cheng Zilin turned around and left. That slender and handsome back of his captivated countless women.

However, there was no Xia Xue amongst these women.

Xia Xue raised her eyebrows. She was happy when she thought of how she could take over a big bed alone at night and never have to suffer in the same space with Cheng Zhilin again.

Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to find out what Cheng Zilin had said.

"..."

At the Scenic Spot villa.

Yu Anxin was brought back to his original room. He thought that Shen Mo Ke would take her somewhere else to stay, but he never expected to come back.

Even though it was at least several hours away from Jing Nian, what did he mean by bringing her back here?

Also, did he do anything to Ye Han during her coma?

A sense of foreboding rose up in Yu An Nian's heart. She turned her head and saw Ling An behind her. She extended her hand to grab him, and asked, "Ling An, where is Shen Mo Ke?"

Ling An lowered his eyes as he watched her anxiously suddenly grab his sleeve. Did that mean she still cared about the CEO?

"Miss Yu, please keep a distance from me."

Yu An realized that something wasn't right and hurriedly retracted his hand.

"I want to see Shen Mo Ke!"

She was afraid that Shen Mo Ke would really take action against the palace, and Xia Xue must have also angered Shen Mo Ke because of her. If the palace and Xia Xue were to be implicated because of what happened today, then she would never be able to forgive herself in this lifetime.

Ling An promptly blocked Yu Anhui's path. He gave a meaningful glance to the bodyguard behind him, who immediately shut the door, separating them from the outside world.

Yu Anxin frowned, anger already starting to surface on his palm-sized face. "He wants to imprison me?"

Seeing that Yu An Nian's reaction wasn't the slightest bit surprised, Ling An respectfully replied, "The CEO said Miss Yu's temperament is unstable, and that she doesn't know what she's doing, so she might as well not go to school for the time being."

Yu An's lips curled up into a cold smile. She shouldn't have jumped off the building to threaten him just to protect her child?

This child was now like a thorn stuck in Yu An Nian's heart. Even a touch would cause severe pain.

"Then when can I go out?"

"Miss Yu has figured out what's wrong. The CEO will naturally appear."

Ling An's words caused Yu An's face to turn pale. Was Shen Mo Ke planning to never let her go out again?

Since she had just miscarried, her complexion was naturally not very good. Considering her weak body, Ling An asked her to carry a bowl of congee upstairs.

"Miss Yu, may I come in?"

There was no response from any of the voices in the room.

A bodyguard at the side unlocked the door and reminded her, "Don't stay too long."

Sister-in-law Du stepped into the room, only to see Yu Anxin sitting on the bed, staring blankly out the window.

After not seeing her for a while, Miss Yu seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Aunt Du did not know what had happened between Yu An Nian and Shen Mo Ke. She just assumed that they had quarreled, and that Miss Yu had left home in a bad mood and was brought back by her young master.

"Miss Yu, please eat something."

Sister-in-law Du placed the porridge on the table beside Yu Anhui.

Yu An's lips twitched. His lips were extremely dry. "Take it away."

When Aunt Du heard Yu An's voice, she quickly poured a cup of water and passed it to her.

Yu Anhui did not move.

Aunt Du's heart skipped a beat. Was she thinking of going on a hunger strike?
