The blinding white light shone on my thin eyelids, and I could faintly hear a few birds chirping.

Xie Zhaoyuan struggled to open her eyes, trying to break free from the chaotic dream.

An unfamiliar room, an unfamiliar view from the window, an unfamiliar atmosphere. Xie Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then threw off the covers and sat up abruptly.

"Click——"

The doorknob was pressed down and then bounced back up, and the door was gently pushed open.

Qin Wushuang strolled in leisurely.

"Awake?" He stood with his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow at Xie Zhaoyuan.

Xie Zhaoyuan stared at him blankly, and the moment their eyes met, all the events leading up to this became clear in her mind.

A tire was punctured by a nail, a stray cat suddenly appeared in the alley, a dark shadow loomed in front of me, and the pungent smell of medicine...

Everything was connected.

"Qin Wushuang, you kidnapped me?" Xie Zhaoyuan's brows furrowed, and his lowered eyes blazed with fury.

Qin Wushuang tilted her head, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

“Xiao Song, how can this be considered kidnapping?” He walked to the bedside and sat down, gazing tenderly at Xie Zhaoyuan. “Kidnapping is for money, but I don’t want money, so I didn’t kidnap you.”

"..." Xie Zhaoyuan stared at him intently, without saying a word.

He raised a hand and gently and lovingly stroked Xie Zhaoyuan's cheek, his eyes filled with emotion.

“Xiao Song, I’ve been avoiding you for over a decade, and now I can finally face you openly and honestly.”

"...Don't call me that!" Xie Zhaoyuan slapped Qin Wushuang's hand away, her face full of disgust.

Qin Wushuang seemed to have anticipated her reaction, showing neither surprise nor anger; in fact, the smile on her lips was slowly deepening.

"Xiao Song, haven't you always wanted to know why I was always so mean to you before? Now I can explain it to you."

"I do not want to hear."

Xie Zhaoyuan turned around and got out of bed, not even bothering to put on her slippers, and ran out in a big stride.

She was in what appeared to be a villa. After running out of the room and through a living room, a spiral staircase appeared beneath her feet.

She ran down the stairs and saw the exit door when she reached the first floor.

Without the slightest hesitation, she ran straight towards the gate.

Unsurprisingly, she was stopped by a group of bodyguards in black just as she reached the villa entrance.

The bodyguards stood in two neat rows, silently and resolutely blocking Xie Zhaoyuan's path like a small mountain. Xie Zhaoyuan had no way to escape.

She glared angrily at the people in front of her, her eyes filled with fierceness, but she didn't show any other reaction.

Because she had already guessed that she couldn't escape. When she ran out of the room, Qin Wushuang didn't panic at all. She neither chased after her nor called for help to catch her. At that moment, she knew that she probably couldn't escape.

She was unwilling to be locked up here by Qin Wushuang, so she still wanted to give it a try.

"Da da da……"

Unhurried footsteps approached from behind Xie Zhaoyuan. Xie Zhaoyuan turned around expressionlessly and looked coldly at Qin Wushuang.

"Qin Wushuang, are you trying to imprison me?"

Qin Wushuang smiled, her eyes crinkling with a gentle and innocent light: "Xiao Song, I love you so much, how could I bear to imprison you?"

"Ha," Xie Zhaoyuan sneered, "You can't bear to imprison me? Then what are you doing now? And what are these bodyguards doing?"

Qin Wushuang: "They are helping me. Helping me create an opportunity for you to fall in love with me."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "...Dream on!"

Qin Wushuang walked up to her, staring intently at her: "I am indeed dreaming. This dream has been lingering in my mind for over a decade. I have tried countless times to shatter it, to destroy it, but I have failed each time."

"I can't get rid of it, I can only accept it, accept the fact that I love you."

……

Qin Wushuang's love was disgusting; Xie Zhaoyuan felt like vomiting every time she heard it. She didn't want to talk to this rotten man anymore, so she simply raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.

"..."

The expected slap did not occur; Xie Zhaoyuan's hand was only halfway down when Qin Wushuang forcefully grabbed it.

"Xiao Song's temper is still so volatile." Qin Wushuang kept laughing, while she also ambiguously rubbed Xie Zhaoyuan's wrist bone with her fingers.

A tingling, itchy sensation exploded on her wrist, making Xie Zhaoyuan shudder and feel nauseous to the point of scalp tingling.

"Go to hell, get the hell out of my way!" she cursed in disgust, desperately trying to pull her wrist back.

"Let go... let go of me!!"

"Hmph..." Qin Wushuang chuckled lightly, not only not letting go, but also suddenly pulling Xie Zhaoyuan into her arms with force.

Then, he bent down, supported Xie Zhaoyuan's thighs, and lifted her up, easily hoisting her onto his shoulder.

"...Aaaaaah!!!"

Before Xie Zhaoyuan could react, she was hoisted onto Qin Wushuang's shoulder.

"What are you doing?!" She only paused for a moment before struggling violently on Qin Wushuang's shoulder.

Qin Wushuang easily subdued her with just one hand, then turned and walked steadily into the villa: "Xiao Song, be good."

"Pah!" Xie Zhaoyuan spat at him maliciously, then kicked and punched him with all her might.

"Qin Wushuang, put me down!! What the hell do you want to do?!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Do you know how you treated the Qin family? If Ding Fenglian knew you liked your former sister, she'd probably be furious to death!"

"I'm a multi-million dollar internet celebrity now! If anyone finds out you imprisoned me, the entire Qin family will be ruined!!"

Xie Zhaoyuan cursed and threatened, but Qin Wushuang didn't react at all.

He carried Xie Zhaoyuan steadily on his shoulder and took her back to her room upstairs.

"Xiao Song, you've just finished your postpartum period, so you shouldn't have too many emotional fluctuations." He carefully placed Xie Zhaoyuan on the bed, then squatted down beside the bed and tenderly warmed her cold feet with his palms.

"Get out!!!" Xie Zhaoyuan raised her foot to kick, and Qin Wushuang, who could have dodged, did not, and took the kick head-on.

After kicking him, she shrank back and looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

"Are you calm now?" He sighed softly, his expression somewhat helpless.

Xie Zhaoyuan clenched her fists in anger: "Qin Wushuang, let me go!!"

Qin Wushuang: "I will let you go, but not now."

"Xiao Song, I bought a house in Norway. I'll take you there once it's renovated. Didn't you say you wanted to live somewhere where you could see the Northern Lights? How about I take you there?"

"No!" Xie Zhaoyuan shouted at the top of her lungs, her whole body filled with resistance. "Where you buy a house is none of my business! I won't go with you, I'm going back to Pei Xingzhi!!"

"..."

The moment the name "Pei Xingzhi" appeared, Qin Wushuang's smile froze instantly.

He propped himself up from the bed, looked down at Xie Zhaoyuan, and suddenly said:

"Xiao Song, I've known for a long time that you're not my biological sister."
