A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

He saw with his own eyes that morning that she had suppressed the poison for Zhan Jinglin! He knew that Shi Yanxia must have some skill.

"If he listens and soaks in the medicine every night, there won't be any accidents," Shi Yanxia said softly.

She walked to the dining table and saw a sumptuous dinner.

Braised pork ribs, spicy crab, salt and pepper lobster, stir-fried baby bok choy, plus fish head tofu soup—Shi Yanxia was stunned when she saw it.

She returned to the Shen family home for seven months, and mostly ate leftovers.

Every time she finished her work, they had already eaten their fill and didn't leave her any food.

She felt somewhat disappointed at that time, but she ate simply on the mountain and didn't dwell on it.

This was the most normal meal anyone had prepared for her since she returned to the capital, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Does the young mistress not like it? Or is she allergic to seafood? I'll take it away right now and bring it back to you later." The butler panicked when he saw her standing there staring blankly at the food on the table.

The housekeeper placed the medicine packet on a basket to the side and hurriedly stepped forward to remove the dishes.

"No need, these are all my favorite foods. I was just lost in thought." Shi Yanxia quickly pressed his hand down and said softly.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He ladled a bowl of soup for her, placed it in front of her, and handed her chopsticks, saying, "I'm glad you like it, young mistress. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let me know."

"Thank you," Shi Yanxia said softly.

The housekeeper only turned and left with the basket after seeing her start eating.

After Shi Yanxia finished her meal alone, the servants immediately came forward to tidy up. She stood there, looking out the window thoughtfully, and then took her bag and walked out.

After buying some personal necessities outside, I looked at the bright lights and bustling city outside and seemed lost in thought.

"Shi Yanxia." At that moment, an arm reached out and grabbed her.

Her arm was gripped tightly by the man, and she groaned in pain. Turning her head, she saw Leng Chengshen standing there, panting, his eyes fixed on her like a venomous snake.

"Let go," Shi Yanxia said coldly.

Leng Chengshen pursed his lips, his devilish face filled with anger. Seeing her struggle, he couldn't help but increase his strength, trying to force her to give in, but Shi Yanxia pushed him away.

She turned and glared at him coldly, her eyes as cold as frost. Leng Chengshen's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but frown. Why would Shi Yanxia look at him like that?

"How long are you going to keep this up? You even dared to block my number? Are you trying to get my attention? Let me tell you, playing hard to get won't work."

As Leng Chengshen spoke, he softened his tone and lowered his voice, saying, "As long as you behave."

A slap landed on his face, leaving a handprint on his face that had just begun to heal. He covered his face in disbelief, staring at her incredulously.

Shi Yanxia smiled, looked him up and down, and said, "Didn't your mother give you any face when she gave birth to you? Otherwise, why are you targeting me for emotional manipulation?"

"Who do you think you are, lecturing me like this? Just because you're an illegitimate son of the Leng family?" Shi Yanxia said sarcastically, her words striking a nerve.

Leng Chengshen's lips moved, and the fury in his eyes burst forth.

He couldn't believe she would attack him by bringing up the fact that he was an illegitimate child, and he couldn't believe she would suddenly turn against him, especially since she had been so attentive to him before.

In the past, if I told her to go east, she wouldn't dare go west, let alone talk back.

Is she going to rebel just because she's being asked to marry in someone else's place?

"Fine, very well! Since you dare to talk to me like that, even if you come back and beg on your knees, I will never agree to be with you." Leng Chengshen's pride was trampled underfoot by her, and he angrily turned and left.

With the burning slap mark on his face, he was so frustrated that even he was extremely irritated.

As he turned to leave, Shi Yanxia grabbed his arm. He tried to shake her off, but she held on even tighter. Leng Chengshen said arrogantly, "I've said it before, I can't agree to be with you anymore."

"Leng Chengshen, you came to harass me in the middle of the night, and then left?" Shi Yanxia said coldly, raising her voice a bit, which startled Leng Chengshen.

He kept his voice down as he spoke, and he wore a hat and a mask, covering himself up completely, just to avoid being recognized.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly shouted in public, startling him so much that he struggled to escape, but she held him tightly.

Passersby quickly turned around and looked in this direction.

"Let go, let go of me!" Leng Chengshen panicked.

If he is recognized, his reputation will be ruined.

"Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by asking me to agree to what you said? You said you'd agree to be my boyfriend? I've had enough of you harassing me like this."

"Someone, quick, call the police! This man is harassing me!" Shi Yanxia shouted in a low voice.

She deliberately lowered her voice, and with her mask and sunglasses on, no one recognized her, but as she spoke, everyone immediately gathered around.

After all, harassing women in the middle of the night! Who wants to miss this gossip?

"This is sexual harassment."

"Damn it, isn't this a pervert?"

Some women immediately pointed at him. Seeing this, Shi Yanxia suddenly let go of Leng Chengshen's hand. As he breathed a sigh of relief, she slapped him away.

Leng Chengshen froze, his hat was knocked off his head, and his mask was ripped off.

"You." Leng Chengshen was taken aback. When he saw the smile in Shi Yanxia's eyes, he was so angry that he was about to explode. He hadn't expected that she wanted to completely ruin his reputation.

He never expected that just because he came to offer a few words of advice, this woman would be so ungrateful as to expose him.

Leng Chengshen quickly covered his face and turned to run away. He had only taken a few steps when a woman threw an ice cream cone at his head and cursed, "You bastard."

He was hit on the head, and ice cream slid down his hair. Leng Chengshen was furious.

Even though he was an illegitimate child, he was still praised by fans, but now he was treated like a rat by Shi Yanxia. He was so angry that he covered his face and ran away quickly.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she turned around and got into the car, she saw that Shi Yanxia was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.

So she deliberately drew everyone's attention to herself so she could escape unscathed. Thinking of this, Leng Chengshen clenched his fists.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​you shameless woman! You clearly like me so much, is it that if you can't have me, you'll destroy me? Don't even think about it." Leng Chengshen said through gritted teeth.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and punched the chair seat.

Just then, his phone vibrated. Looking at the number flashing on the screen, the anger in his eyes subsided a little.

"Chu Chu." Leng Chengshen lowered his voice, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Lianchu bit her lip, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Brother Shen, where are you? Why didn't you answer my calls earlier? Are you angry because I made my sister marry in my place?"

As Leng Chengshen listened, he quickly looked down at the screen and realized that Shen Lianchu had called twice while he was being chased, but he hadn't answered.

"Why would I get angry over such a small matter? Isn't it only right that she marry in your place? Besides, you're only having her marry in your place. Once that person dies in a month, won't she still have to go back to the Shen family?"
