After being reborn with my scumbag ex-husband, I became his sister-in-law.

"But besides that, do you need any aphrodisiacs if he's unwilling?"

Huang Suyi smiled shyly again: "Don't worry, I've already prepared it."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi finally felt relieved: "That's good, everything is ready."

He Jingyan listened to the sounds coming from inside the house, but remained standing in the same spot. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes dark and brooding, as if a storm was about to break. This made the maids and servants in the courtyard shiver and bury their heads in fear.

With a creak, the door slowly opened.

Song Xizhi paused, then looked in the direction of the door and saw He Jingyan's face, hidden in the darkness and indistinct.

Although I couldn't see his expression, for some reason, seeing his tall figure half-hidden in the darkness made my heart pound.

Song Xizhi's eyelids twitched; he hadn't expected He Jingyan to return so early today.

I don't know how long he stood at the door or how much he heard.

Huang Suyi noticed the person outside the door and turned to look at Song Xizhi with unease.

Song Xizhi hesitated for a moment, then stood up again, twitching the corners of his mouth, wanting to explain to him: "This is my mother-in-law's distant niece, named Su Yi."

“He Jingyan, she…”

Before Song Xizhi could finish speaking, he saw the man lift the bed leg and walk up to the two of them.

He was so tall that Song Xizhi had to look up at him.

A mocking smile appeared on his lips. He didn't even glance at Song Xizhi, but instead turned directly towards Huang Suyi.

He Jingyan waved his hand, his voice deep and resonant:

"It's late and the dew is heavy; it's inconvenient for this young lady to stay here any longer. Qing Tong, arrange accommodation for this unfamiliar young lady in the Huang family's courtyard. Send her away from the manor tomorrow."

Huang Suyi's expression had been unpleasant ever since she saw He Jingyan, and now that she heard He Jingyan say these words, she anxiously looked in Song Xizhi's direction.

This was the first time Song Xizhi had seen He Jingyan like this. She took a deep breath and hurriedly explained to He Jingyan, "Don't bother, I've already instructed someone to prepare the house, it's right here in our courtyard..."

Before Song Xizhi could finish speaking, He Jingyan abruptly interrupted her: "Qing Tong, see the guest out."

Hearing the commotion in the bedroom, Qing Tong gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before bracing himself to enter the inner bedroom, where he looked towards Huang Suyi's direction.

Huang Suyi felt a chill run down her spine, but when she thought about her purpose, her feet felt like they were rooted to the ground.

She glanced at Song Xizhi, then hesitated, wanting to explain, "Young Master, actually..."

He Jingyan merely lifted her eyelids, and her voice abruptly ceased.

Song Xizhi grasped Huang Suyi's hand, stopping Qing Tong's movement, and explained, "He Jingyan, listen to me first. She can't go to Huang's courtyard because she..."

He Jingyan stared at her with his dark eyes, his voice becoming calmer: "If we don't let her go to Huang's courtyard, are we going to keep her with us?"

Song Xi was taken aback.

She held Huang Suyi's hand and stood frozen in place for a long time. Huang Suyi saw his imminent storm and felt that something was wrong, so she gently patted Song Xizhi's hand.

"We can discuss our plans another day. But I can't leave tomorrow, so you should take care of your business first."

She hurriedly finished speaking, then lifted her skirt and followed Qing Tong.

The door creaked shut beside her. Song Xizhi closed her eyes, suppressing the anger in her chest, and stared at the man in front of her.

Before she could speak, she saw the man slightly raise his brow and slowly approach her.

"Your plan? Song Xizhi, you're really something."

"Is your plan to drug me and get her into my bed?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi felt a surge of nameless anger rise in her chest. In an instant, she didn't want to explain anything anymore; she just wanted to question him and ask him where he got the nerve.

So she actually asked, "What are you angry about?"

“We are about to get a divorce. Seeing that you, the eldest son of the He family, have few children, I feel uneasy. So I arranged a woman for the Marquis of Anding’s mansion to carry on the family line. You saved her when you were young, and you are in love with each other. Is there a problem with me?”

Hearing this, He Jingyan was almost laughing in anger. He slightly lowered his brows to hide the emotions in his eyes and took another step forward.

step.

Another step.

Until he walked up to Song Xizhi, his hard chest pressed directly against Song Xizhi's chest.

Song Xizhi took another step back, but his body suddenly went limp, and he fell straight onto the soft couch.

So the man took the opportunity to press down, leaving no extra space between the two.

Song Xizhi could even see her own reflection in his eyes, and she could hear the man's hoarse voice whispering a question in her ear:

"Mutual affection? So you really have no heart?"

Feeling his burning body temperature, Song Xizhi still forced a sarcastic remark: "You don't like me, and you've already agreed to the divorce. How should I treat you?"

"How could I possibly know about Young Master He's past romantic escapades? I was merely fulfilling my duty as a wife."

He Jingyan's eyes suddenly darkened. Looking at that incessantly chattering mouth, he couldn't help but lower his head and bite down again.

It was a tearing sensation, almost like a violent storm, and my brain went blank for a moment due to lack of oxygen.

It nearly made Song Xizhi faint.

Song Xizhi pressed herself against the man's chest, and only when the man finally released her could she breathe heavily.

Feeling the man's rough fingertips caressing the corner of her mouth, she began to tremble. She then heard his low voice, tinged with sadness:

"You clearly know what I'm thinking, you clearly know I'm not him."

How could he know how many girls' lives He Jingyan had saved in his youth?

First it was Song Xizhi, and now there's Huang Suyi...

Little did he know how many young girls secretly harbored feelings for He Jingyan and vowed to marry no one but him for the rest of their lives.

If Huang Suyi is right, then what about Song Xizhi...?

He was just afraid, jealous, and somewhat deranged.
