In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Qiao Wanwan's mind was in complete disarray; she hadn't yet accepted the facts Xie Ze had revealed.

She asked Xie Ze uncertainly again:

"Do you really, really like me?"

"Yes, Wanwan."

"What do you like about me? What do you like about me? I have nothing, and I'm full of spoiled brat syndrome, which is so annoying."

"... "

The man's face darkened as he watched Qiao Wanwan's incessant self-doubt.

Qiao Wanwan continued waving her hand and said:

"No, no, no, how could you possibly like me? It must be your imagination, right?"

The man seemed displeased with her denial and called out gently.

“Wanwan, you are not entirely useless. To me, you are the only ray of light that appears beside me in the darkness.”

"... "

A hint of loneliness flashed in the man's eyes, and he sneered:

“I’ve never participated in a festival like this before, and I had no idea that the outside world was so wonderful. It was you who made me come out and see this different Anqi City.”

"You've never participated before? Don't you live here?"

Although it wasn't a good idea to ask, I couldn't resist her curiosity.

"Well, having grown up without parental love, how could I possibly have a normal life? Ever since I can remember, every day at the Xie residence was spent following my father's strict demands, nothing but experimenting with medicine. I never had a normal life. I used to be very curious about how children outside lived."

Xie Ze lowered his eyes slightly and looked down, his eyes flashing with envy.

Qiao Wanwan followed the man's gaze downwards and saw a happy family passing by below.

The parents take turns holding their three-year-old child, and they buy whatever is fun or delicious for their child.

When children encounter a dragon dance troupe, their faces fall down, and they seem about to cry.

The parents clapped and encouraged their child, who then learned to be brave.

With their parents by their side, the children were no longer afraid of the dragon dance they had never seen before. Nestled in their parents' arms, the lively and adorable children opened their big, round eyes, becoming familiar with the world around them.

The man spoke in a detached voice:

"Now I can finally see how people outside live, and it has also fulfilled my childhood curiosity."

As Qiao Wanwan listened, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her nose began to sting.

Xie Ze's childhood was so tragic.

She was always her father's experiment and never experienced a normal life.

This treatment is really unfair to him.

The woman pursed her lips and took the man's long, slender fingers in her hand.

He patted his chest and assured them:

"It's okay, I'll take you to see more normal people's lives in the future."

"... "

Xie Ze's gaze lingered intently on her brows and eyes, as if trying to read every emotion in them.

Hearing the woman's righteous and earnest assurances, a deep longing shone through his heart.

A blush slowly crept onto her pale skin, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and the man's heart pounded several times faster, thumping loudly in his chest.

Sure enough, Wanwan was the only person in the world who was the best to him.

The man's eyes were tinged with a bright red, and he called her name tenderly.

"Wanwan~"

"Ok?"

The woman responded to him, making him unable to suppress his own feelings of love any longer.

The tall figure bent down.

"No~"

Before the woman could react, the man kissed her lips.

Her soft body was also tightly embraced by the man, as if she were embedded in his body, feeling the other's warm and wonderful body.

This further spurred the man to deliver a passionate kiss, making it difficult for the woman to breathe.

As her strength gradually waned, her slender fingers slowly climbed onto the man's shoulder.

Under the moonlight, only the silhouettes of two people reluctant to part could be seen.

Just then, a loud "crack" resounded through the sky.

"Sa la la!"

Amidst the colorful fireworks, the two witnessed the man's profound love for the woman.

It's unclear how long they lingered before the man stopped his lip-licking.

Both of them were breathing heavily, feeling unbearably hot.

The man's thin lips moved to the woman's ear, and she felt a surge of hormones spraying onto Qiao Wanwan's ear, causing her to tremble. The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.

Shame made Qiao Wanwan hug the man's neck slightly, close her eyes and subtly feel the man's hot heartbeat, not daring to look at him directly.

But the man gently bit her earlobe, uttering a devilish sentence.

"Wanwan, let's be together, forever. Don't even think about escaping from my side."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes instantly, her heart no longer fluttering.

I only had one thought in my mind:

Oops!

It seems she's gotten herself into trouble with the villain!

...

Even from the distant Yang residence, one could hear the "crack" of fireworks.

All the women in the mansion went out to play, leaving only Yang Feng, who had made a mistake, to reflect on his actions behind closed doors.

He stood in the courtyard, his large belly protruding, squinting at the moonlight outside.

"Hey!"

He sighed a few times, muttering complaints under his breath:

"When will the Prime Minister send someone over?"

"If I don't go out soon, I'll really be replaced."

Earlier, the Xie family steward somehow managed to impress the city lord.

He actually had to give up his position and accept punishment, not only being fined 10,000 taels of silver but also having to stay home and reflect on his mistakes.

They agreed that after investigating the situation in a few days, they would be able to release him and find him innocent.

But it's been three days now, and there's still no news from over there. He's getting anxious too.

He feared that once his position was replaced, he would be completely useless in Anqi City.

The Prime Minister will no longer use him as a useless pawn.

His life will also plummet; without the help from above, he'll be nothing.

Do you still want to take money from the people at will?

That's just wishful thinking.

"Hey!"

The obese man in the yard sighed and groaned again.

"Report!"

But hurried sounds came from outside the door.

"My lord, something terrible has happened."

Yang Feng, with his large belly, frowned, his eyebrows furrowed, and asked impatiently:

"What important event has to be reported on this auspicious holiday? Can't I just get a rest?"

"My lord, this matter is of utmost importance to you."

Yang Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, pricked up his ears, and asked curiously:

"What's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Your nephew, the Huang family's son, has been murdered!"

"What!!"

Yang Feng was shocked and grabbed the soldier who was kneeling on the ground to report the news.

"My nephew was murdered? When did this happen?!"

"Just now, a group of men in black left Anqi City carrying the bodies of the young master and several of his brothers, dumping them in the wilderness. Someone saw them and came to report it. The Huang family has already gone to claim the bodies; it is indeed the young master's body..."

Yang Feng was so angry that the fat on his face twitched, and his nostrils flared with rage. He yelled:

"Who on earth dared to murder my nephew? Find the murderer immediately and make sure his entire family is executed and torn to pieces."

The soldier who brought the message lowered his head slightly, feeling a little ashamed, and said weakly:

"I heard from people outside that those men in black seem to be... Xie family's secret guards. The person who killed Young Master Huang must be the master of the Xie family."

"!!"

Upon hearing that it was the Xie family, Yang Feng's anger immediately subsided by half, turning into a cowardly demeanor.

"It's actually the Xie family? Could it be...Young Master Xie?"

"General, that must be it! So what should we do?"

"... "

Yang Feng listened as if the soldiers were preparing to receive his orders.

If he were to actually give the order, wouldn't he become a thorn in the side of the Xie family?

This foolish soldier actually thought he should step forward?

They're practically sending him to his death!

Yang Feng immediately flew into a rage, venting his anger on the soldier. He kicked him away and shouted at him:

"What should we do? What can we do? Are you suggesting we raid the Xie family's property? Guards, drag him out and execute him."

"General, spare my life! General, spare my life!"

The soldier being dragged away kept kowtowing, his head covered in blood, desperately begging Yang Feng for forgiveness.

But Yang Feng was in such dire straits that he didn't care about the lives of others.

He shouted loudly to the people outside:

"No, we must send a message by carrier pigeon immediately. It's urgent to deliver the message to the capital."
