After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

Although she said she was very reluctant, Xie Zhaoyuan still took Pei Xingzhi to find Shen Yanhui as soon as possible.

And I even bought her a big, fragrant roasted sweet potato on the way.

She had informed the community security guards beforehand, and when Pei Xingzhi's car appeared, the guards proactively raised the gate for him. He only gave his name for registration and was able to drive in smoothly.

"Looks like Shen Yanhui isn't completely out of it; he even knew to inform the security guards beforehand." Xie Zhaoyuan said with a sour face, praising Shen Yanhui in a sarcastic tone.

Pei Xingzhi parked the car and patted Xie Zhaoyuan's hand, signaling her to get out.

"She's just in a bad mood, not that she's lost her mind. She can still do this kind of thing well."

"Hmph," Xie Zhaoyuan sneered, and got out of the car carrying Shen Yanhui's roasted sweet potato.

Pei Xingzhi took her hand and led her toward the elevator: "A-Yuan, after you see Shen Yanhui, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked up at him.

He smiled, but didn't say anything explicitly: "It's nothing serious, I'll tell you about it when we get back."

“…Alright.” Although she was very curious, Xie Zhaoyuan didn’t ask any more questions. Shen Yan was going home soon, and even if she pressed for details now, she wouldn’t be able to find out everything. It was better to keep it to herself and ask her all the questions when she got back.

Shen Yanhui's home was on the sixth floor. When the couple came out of the elevator, Shen Yanhui just opened the door.

"You're here." She stood at the door, smiling at Xie Zhaoyuan.

Xie Zhaoyuan looked her up and down, and was surprised by her overly exquisite appearance.

Despite being out of contact for so many days, her face showed no signs of haggardness, and her eyes showed no sign of dejection.

She wore a beige cashmere dress, her long, wavy hair cascading gently over her shoulders. Sunlight streamed softly into the living room through the bright glass window, warmly bathing Shen Yanhui in its glow.

Shen Yanhui's makeup was clean, and her smile was bright. She stood gently in the light, excessively beautiful yet slightly ethereal.

Xie Zhaoyuan stared at her blankly, a strong sense of loneliness suddenly welling up in her heart.

"Come in quickly." Shen Yan waved to Xie Zhaoyuan, urging her to enter the house.

“…Here you are.” Xie Zhaoyuan smiled and walked over side by side with Pei Xingzhi.

But Shen Yanhui suddenly reached out a hand and stopped Pei Xingzhi alone.

"Wait a moment!"

"Pei Xingzhi, take a stroll in the corridor first, don't come in. Xiaoyuan and I have something to say to each other."

"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi frowned in confusion. "What kind of secret is so mysterious that even I can't hear it?"

Shen Yan replied firmly: "No!"

"..." Pei Xingzhi was somewhat unwilling, so he turned to look at Xie Zhaoyuan, wanting to test her intentions.

She thought for a moment, then decisively reached out and took Shen Yan's hand: "Honey, why don't you play outside by yourself for a while? I'll bring you in right away after we've finished our private chat. Okay?"

Pei Xingzhi wanted to say "no," but Xie Zhaoyuan's soft "husband" made all his reluctance vanish.

He adjusted his glasses, his lips curling into an uncontrollable upward smile: "Okay."

His joy was written all over his face, and even his tone of voice was cheerful: "Take your time talking, I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay!" Xie Zhaoyuan let go of Shen Yanhui, took his hand as a reward, and said, "Thank you, husband."

Pei Xingzhi nodded: "Mm."

"Bye-bye." Shen Yan waved to him perfunctorily, then pulled Xie Zhaoyuan into the house.

"Oh!"

The door closed in front of Pei Xingzhi, who shrugged helplessly, then took out his phone to deal with the remaining work.

"The sun is shining brightly today, let's go sit on the balcony and soak up some sun," Shen Yan said, pulling Xie Zhaoyuan's arm as she led her onto the balcony.

The sunlight was perfect, bathing the balcony in warm, dappled light. Shen Yan placed two beanbag chairs on the balcony and pulled Xie Zhaoyuan down to sit with her.

"Eh..." She sighed comfortably and took the roasted sweet potato from Xie Zhaoyuan's hand.

"Hmm~~" She was very satisfied with the size of the roasted sweet potato and immediately took out a spoon to eat it.

"It's so soft and chewy, so fragrant and sweet! How do you know how to buy things like this?!"

"Hmph," Xie Zhaoyuan curled her lips into a cryptic laugh, then turned to look at her, "Where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you answer your phone or reply to your WeChat messages?"

"You should try some too." Shen Yan didn't answer her question, but instead scooped up a large spoonful of sweet potato puree and fed it directly to her mouth.

She frowned but didn't open her mouth.

Shen Yan Hui was a little unhappy: "What, you're looking down on me?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I don't look down on you, I just want you to answer my question."

Shen Yan replied, "I will answer your question, but only if you let me finish this roasted sweet potato first. I haven't eaten anything since last night. Do you want me to talk to you on an empty stomach?"

"..." Xie Zhaoyuan frowned and remained silent.

Shen Yan replied, "Open your mouth and let me feed you."

"..."

Xie Zhaoyuan still didn't speak, but she obediently opened her mouth.

"Ah..." Shen Yan fed her the steaming sweet potato puree, then asked with expectant eyes, "Is it delicious?"

Xie Zhaoyuan nodded: "Delicious."

Shen Yanhui then scooped up another large spoonful of sweet potato mash: "Would you like another bite?"

"No, thank you." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled. "I ate a lot of fruit before I came, and I'm still full. You can eat by yourself, there's no rush."

"Okay." Shen Yanhui stopped insisting and began to eat her roasted sweet potato with focus.

Xie Zhaoyuan sat quietly next to her, patiently waiting for her to finish eating the roasted sweet potato, and then took out two tissues from the small table next to her and handed them to her.

She took the tissue, wiped her mouth clean first, then wiped her hands, and finally took out her lipstick to touch up her lip color.

After doing all this, she was finally able to talk to Xie Zhaoyuan about serious matters in peace.

She had barely opened her mouth when she stunned Xie Zhaoyuan.

"Xiaoyuan, you shouldn't have met me, you shouldn't have known me, and you shouldn't have become friends with me."

"Huh?" Xie Zhaoyuan opened her eyes in confusion. "Why?"

Shen Yan turned her head to look at her: "Because I'm in danger, I'm here to take your life."

"...What do you mean?" Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't understand her words at all, but from her overly serious expression, Xie Zhaoyuan could sense that what she was about to say might be very serious.

She took a deep breath and said calmly, "I came to this world not to do any stupid missions, nor to win over Pei Xingzhi, but to take your life."

"My system will take your life."
