After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

As he spoke, Zhuo Yuchen raised his hand and tenderly tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across Yan Niannian's forehead behind her ear.

"Alas! In the end, even the Milky Way and the Starry Sea were destroyed."

"But don't worry, Niannian, I'll rearrange it for you again next time if you like it."

Yan Niannian frowned.

Even though Zhuo Yuchen's voice was gentle, it inexplicably chilled her to the bone.

She instinctively took a step back.

After distancing herself from Zhuo Yuchen, Yan Niannian looked into his cold eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Zhuo Yuchen, Xu Fei is dead."

"Ok!"

Zhuo Yuchen gave a soft "hmm".

Apart from that, his expression didn't change at all.

His sharply defined, cold features exuded indifference.

"Ah!"

Yan Niannian shook her head, curled her lips, and gave a faint, mocking laugh.

"Niannian, what's wrong?" Upon seeing this, Zhuo Yuchen's expression, which had been as calm as a deep pool, began to waver.

He thought Yan Niannian was feeling unwell and rushed forward to take her hand.

But who knows...

But Yan Niannian shook him off.

With a furrowed brow, she resisted fiercely, even her voice carrying a hint of coldness and sarcasm.

"Zhuo Yuchen, you really are heartless."

“In the past, you treated Xu Fei so well, cherishing her like a precious gem, wanting the whole world to know that she was your, Zhuo Yuchen’s, white moonlight.”

"One day, his heart changed..."

"Ha! Even when she died, you were so indifferent that you didn't even flinch."

"Zhuo Yuchen, it really is you! You really haven't changed at all!"

"Niannian, it's not what you think..."

Zhuo Yuchen wore a wry smile.

He desperately wanted to tell her that the reason he had taken such good care of Xu Fei in the past was never because of romantic feelings.

It was simply because he owed his best friend a life.

Before his good brother passed away, he promised to take good care of Xu Fei for the rest of his life.

And that time I let her go...

This was the final resolution of his relationship with the Xu family.

From then on, he owed Xu Fei nothing more.

They are like strangers.

Xu Fei had tried to harm the woman he loved most time and time again. He was already furious with her, so how could he be moved by her death?

Zhuo Yuchen didn't want to explain any of this to Yan Niannian anymore.

She won't believe it.

And he...

He will take concrete actions to make up for the mistakes he has made.

"Niannian, let's go home!" His expression softened, and taking advantage of Yan Niannian's inattention, Zhuo Yuchen stepped forward and took her small hand.

"Zhuo Yuchen, let me go!"

Realizing what was happening, Yan Niannian tried to shake the person off.

But Zhuo Yuchen didn't give her that chance at all; this time, he never wanted to let her go again.

He forcefully "led" her outside.

To Yan Niannian, what she called leading was nothing short of coercion.

"Zhuo Yuchen, you bastard!" Yan Niannian's face darkened.

The hands couldn't break free, but the feet could still move.

She angrily raised her leg and kicked Zhuo Yuchen's shin.

One after another.

It was quite forceful.

Instantly, footprints piled up one after another on the handmade custom-made suit trousers.

Despite the pain, Zhuo Yuchen showed no reaction whatsoever.

Holding Yan Niannian's small hand again, he felt incredibly at ease.

He'd do anything as long as she could vent her anger and accept him back.

Yan Niannian was furious.

In their helplessness, a figure suddenly rushed out.

"Zhuo Yuchen, let her go!"

It's Fei Siyu.

He arrived.

During the argument, Yan Niannian finally broke free from her restraints.

Fei Siyu stood in front of her to prevent Zhuo Yuchen from getting any closer to Yan Niannian.

Zhuo Yuchen's face darkened. "Get out of my way, Fei Siyu."

"Zhuo Yuchen, is this really necessary? Haven't you hurt Niannian enough before? Now that you're divorced, she has nothing to do with you anymore," Fei Siyu retorted defiantly.

"What happens between Niannian and me is none of your business, you outsider," Zhuo Yuchen said through gritted teeth.

“I’m not an outsider, I’m her…her family.”

As she spoke, Fei Siyu deliberately moved closer to Yan Niannian.

The two got closer.

When they stand together, they look... very close.

Zhuo Yuchen's pupils dilated sharply.

He was deeply affected by what he saw.

Enraged, Zhuo Yuchen rushed forward and grabbed Fei Siyu by the collar. "Fei Siyu, you're asking for it!"

"Niannian is mine, and will always be mine."

"It was before, and it will be in the future."

"Hmph! Maybe it was before, but now, you've lost her."

With a cold snort, Fei Siyu grabbed Zhuo Yuchen's hand.

The war is about to start.

The remaining people present were shocked by what they saw.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Zhuo Yuchen and Fei Siyu at the center of the battle, so no one noticed a sneaky figure approaching Yan Niannian with ill intentions.

And this figure was none other than... the male servant.

He had a sharp dagger hidden in his sleeve.

He was wearing a baseball cap, with the brim pulled down to cover most of his face.

In the shadows, the male servant's sinister gaze remained fixed on Yan Niannian.

One step after another.

Nearly.

closer.

Until... the male servant's ferocious nature was revealed, and he pounced directly on Yan Niannian.

While holding the person hostage, a sharp dagger was placed directly against Yan Niannian's neck.

"Ah!" Yan Niannian was taken aback.

"You wretch, don't move!" the male servant hissed in a chilling voice.

Hearing the commotion, Zhuo Yuchen and Fei Siyu stopped fighting, turned around and were shocked to see what was happening.

The tide of battle has turned.

The two stood side by side, glaring angrily at the male servant, their auras heavy and oppressive.

"Don't be impulsive, what do you want to do?" Fei Siyu tried to calm the other party down. "Is it for money? As long as you let go of Niannian, I can give you a lot of money."

"I guarantee you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

But the male servant didn't even glance at Fei Siyu.

His sorrowful gaze fell only on Zhuo Yuchen, his heart aching with each passing moment.

This is the man the young lady deeply loves, the light she chases her whole life.

Previously, in front of Zhuo Yuchen, he always felt inferior and jealous, but he didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look at Zhuo Yuchen properly.

But now...

Xu Fei died because of Yan Niannian, that bitch whom Zhuo Yuchen protected.

The young lady he wanted to protect for the rest of his life died.

A lifetime of pursuit ended in disillusionment.

He... didn't want to live anymore.

With a death wish, he now not only dares to look directly into Zhuo Yuchen's cold and deep eyes, but also wants to avenge Xu Fei and make Zhuo Yuchen experience the excruciating pain.

Zhuo Yuchen frowned.

Fei Siyu didn't know the male servant, but he did.

He was Xu Fei's most loyal dog.

And the look in his eyes now...

As a fellow man, Zhuo Yuchen could see the determination and madness in the other man's eyes; ordinary words would probably not be able to persuade him.

We must not let him hurt Nian Nian.

Concern leads to confusion; stay calm!

I need to calm myself down.

After a moment's thought, Zhuo Yuchen spoke in a low voice, "Is it worth it for you to do this for Xu Fei?"

"It's worth it!" the male servant gritted his teeth.

Zhuo Yuchen was not surprised by his answer.

Such an opening is merely intended to elicit further discussion.
