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

On the third day after returning to the Alliance Leader's Mansion, Qiao Wanwan did nothing but sleep and eat, and remained listless.

Before he returned, he kept thinking about going back to the Qiao family mansion to be a freeloader. Now that he's back, he should be very happy.

But for some reason, I felt empty inside and couldn't muster any interest.

Qiao Wanwan sat on the windowsill, propping her chin up, looking out at the courtyard. The leaves on the trees were turning dark yellow and falling.

Autumn is here.

"Hey!"

As Chunxia entered the room with her lunchbox, she kept hearing the young lady sighing.

She gently placed the lunchbox on the table, gazing at the young lady as if she were longing for someone.

He chuckled to himself and asked softly:

"Miss, are you thinking of Young Master Xie?"

"!"

Hearing Chunxia's words, Qiao Wanwan's face flushed. She glared at her and stubbornly retorted:

"Where can I have it?"

"Chunxia sees that Miss is waiting for Young Master Xie to come to the Xie residence just like before. So Chunxia thought that Miss was thinking about him."

"Please don't talk nonsense. I was looking at the scenery outside the window and lamenting the falling leaves on the trees."

"Oh."

Chunxia, ​​seeing through everything but saying nothing, knew when to stop. She smiled slightly and said:

"Miss, come over here quickly. You haven't been eating well these past few days, you must be hungry now. Chunxia brought some sweet dessert soup, come and try it and see if you like it."

"Ah."

Qiao Wanwan sat down at the table, and Chunxia ladled a bowl of red bean sweet soup for her. There were also some pastries on the table.

Especially the osmanthus cake. As soon as Qiao Wanwan saw it, she remembered the osmanthus cake that Gu Chaomu had given her before, and then she gave it to Xie Ze.

I wonder if Xie Ze ate it at that time?

Qiao Wanwan always felt that he liked sweet food, but she didn't know if her guess was accurate.

I really want to do an experiment, but...

Xie Ze is now a million miles away from her, and it's impossible for them to be together anymore.

Why do you still think about him like that?

Qiao Wanwan scooped up a spoonful of sugar water and drank it down her throat.

It's very sweet, but not cloyingly so.

The red beans are sweet and soft, and the juice is delicious.

People who love sweets will surely love the pastries and desserts made by Chef Qiao's Kitchen, right?

It has been more than ten days since she returned to the Qiao residence with her father, the leader of the alliance.

She had never inquired about Xie Ze before, and now she was very curious.

Stealing a glance at Chunxia beside her, she asked:

"Spring and Summer, when you come back, do you know how he is? Is he going crazy over something?"

"?"

Chunxia looked completely bewildered.

"Miss, who are you talking about?"

Qiao Wanwan's face stiffened. Not wanting to say it clearly, she could only say something dismissively.

"It's that guy surnamed Xie."

"Oh~"

Chunxia then realized who her mistress was referring to and couldn't help but find it amusing; her mistress really couldn't forget Young Master Xie.

"I'm sorry, Miss. At that time, Xie Yi saved Chunxia and told her to stay at the inn. As soon as she heard that you were safe, she immediately went back to look for you. She didn't hear anything about how Young Master Xie was doing."

"Ok."

That means he doesn't care about her!

snort!

Angry.

Even the other person doesn't miss you, Qiao Wanwan, why do you keep thinking about him?

I, Qiao Wanwan, am naturally beautiful and have many suitors. I don't care to be anyone's simp!

...

The dark clouds that had been obscuring the moonlight slowly moved away, revealing the moon's illumination.

The moonlight shone through layers of curtains, illuminating the woman's rosy face on the large bed.

Suddenly, the pure white light was obscured by a dark shadow.

The woman, with her eyes tightly closed, only felt something sliding across her face, icy cold, just like human fingers.

She called out in a daze.

"who is it?"

"... "

The other person's fingertips paused at that moment and withdrew.

His deep eyes met the woman's slowly opening eyes and flickered slightly.

"!!"

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes and saw the man backlit by the moonlight. She called his name in disbelief.

"Xie Ze?"

But the other person looked exactly like Xie Ze, smiled gently at her, and called out to her in Xie Ze's sexy voice:

"Wanwan, it's me."

In an instant, Qiao Wanwan's heart began to pound.

She frowned and said, looking aggrieved:

"Xie Ze, why are you only arriving now?"

"I'm sorry, Wanwan..."

"I don't want you to apologize. Now that you're here, are you sure you won't leave?"

"... "

The man did not reply to her, but simply opened his mouth slightly and then closed it again, smiling with a dull and lifeless look in his eyes.

Qiao Wanwan, of course, understood what he meant, and shouted angrily:

"You liar! If you don't like me, why are you still bothering me? Get away from me!"

Qiao Wanwan reached out to hit him, but the man held her tightly in his arms, and she couldn't break free. So she slowly stopped moving.

She hugged the man's slender waist, feeling Xie Ze's real warmth, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She could hear the man's aggrieved voice in her ear.

"Wanwan~ I'm sorry, I really like you. But... I have my reasons."

"Then can you tell me what your difficulties are?"

"... "

He fell silent again.

Qiao Wanwan didn't expect him to say it, because she knew that everything at this moment was a dream.

She had no idea what troubles the other person was going through, so how could he possibly tell her in her dream?

"I'll be back to you soon, Wanwan, wait for me."

"Xie Ze, are you like this in real life too?"

"... "

The man froze for a moment upon hearing the woman's words.

He slowly released the woman, and looking at her with tears in her eyes, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Xie Ze knew that the woman must be thinking he was dreaming.

That's why I feel so insecure.

He reached out and stroked the woman's face, speaking gently:

"I am the same in real life, Wanwan, believe me. I will come back to you soon."

"Okay, then I'll trust you this once."

Qiao Wanwan felt a pang of sadness. She so believed that Xie Ze was real, but it was all a lie. She forced a bitter smile.

"Wanwan~ I like you."

Only Xie Ze in his dreams would say such cheesy things.

Following his words, Qiao Wanwan also expressed her own thoughts.

"Yes, I like you too, Aze."

The man's heart pounded upon hearing this, his breathing became heavy, and his dark eyes churned with lust.

"My Wanwan~"

The man's skin was pale and cold, but now his face was flushed with desire. His handsome features were overlaid with possessiveness, and his eyes were fixed on her like those of a blatant invader.

Qiao Wanwan only felt the man's strong arms encircle her waist, his hot body temperature and strong male hormones surrounding her and filling every cell of her body, leaving her nowhere to hide.

His eyelashes trembled slightly as he lowered his gaze to the woman's eyes, his eyes burning with intensity.

Then, the man's lips landed on the woman's soft lips.

Their breaths mingled, as if an invisible current flowed through their bodies, stimulating their nerves.

Her slender fingers gripped the man's sleeve tightly, as if trying to push him away.

The next second, she was grabbed by the man's large hand, their fingers intertwined, neither of them able to escape.
