Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

“Sheng Sheng”.

Upon seeing Wen Shengsheng, Gong Xiaochen waved away the pretty girl on his arm and strode towards her.

But the punk-style pretty girl clearly didn't want to, and quickly followed him, taking his arm.

Helpless, Gong Xiaochen could only glance at her.

"Brother Xiaochen, is this girl your girlfriend?" The punk girl's voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of mischief in her tone.

"What 'Miss'? Call me sister-in-law." Gong Xiaochen brushed the pretty girl's hand away again and stepped forward to take Wen Shengsheng's arm. "Why do you look so pale?"

Feeling his warmth and breath, Wen Shengsheng felt her body temperature gradually return, and her pale face flushed as she explained.

"It's nothing, it's just getting cold at night."

It's already autumn, and wearing an off-the-shoulder long dress can get a bit chilly at night.

Upon hearing this, Gong Xiaochen immediately took off his coat and put it on her.

"You didn't even tell me you were feeling unwell. Let's leave early." He said, while tidying up Wen Shengsheng's messy hair on the side of her face.

The people around clearly couldn't stand it anymore.

"Oh my god, this is such a display of affection! I didn't even have a full meal, but I'm full right here!" the punk-style beauty exclaimed.

Wen Shengsheng immediately pushed Gong Xiaochen away shyly.

"Tsk, we've all forgotten about this little one." Gong Xiaochen pointed to the punk-style pretty girl, "This is Xia Xiaobai, you can just call her Xiaobai. She's the youngest sister in the family. She secretly dropped out of school and came back from abroad. I just caught her."

The first time Wen Shengsheng saw her, she thought she was a very charming girl. Her short hair, leather jacket, and leather skirt gave her a free and unrestrained temperament.

Beneath the leather skirt were a pair of straight, snow-white legs, paired with black Chelsea boots.

He was like a sprite leaping out of a rock 'n' roll song, exuding fearlessness and rebellion.

"Hello, Miss Xia." Upon hearing this surname, Wen Shengsheng could roughly guess which family she belonged to. She was another rich young lady, so she was too embarrassed to call her Xiaobai.

"What do you mean by dropping out of school? Don't put it so harshly. I was so bored over there that I came back to China for a while." Xia Xiaobai ignored Wen Shengsheng's greeting and pouted as she argued with Gong Xiaochen.

"You? You'll only behave if I chain you up."

Xia Xiaobai rolled her eyes. "Before, you were still abroad and could take care of me from time to time. Now that you've come back to China, all of you are just leaving me alone abroad. Where is your conscience? Where is your humanity?"

Gong Xiaochen scoffed, "Stop pretending, you must have had a fight with your boyfriend abroad."

Seemingly having her secret exposed, Xia Xiaobai blushed, took Gong Xiaochen's arm, and buried her face in his arm like a quail.

She was too close, so Wen Shengsheng had to move away a little.

"Alright, how old are you? Stop acting like a spoiled brat." Gong Xiaochen pulled her up with a look of disgust.

"What have you taken a fancy to lately? Send me a link, and I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow. Then you'd better get back to your home country and study hard."

"I don't want anything, Brother Xiaochen." Perhaps his thoughts had been hit, when he looked up again, Xia Xiaobai's eyes were a little red. "I also invited Brother Xia Zheng and a few others. Let's go for drinks together. It's been so long since we've gotten together. I'm really annoyed."

Gong Xiaochen frowned and looked at Wen Shengsheng, "Do you want to go?"

“Uh…” Wen Shengsheng was about to answer.

Xia Xiaobai shook Gong Xiaochen's arm in a coquettish manner.

“When we were abroad, you were always there for me when I was unhappy. We’re best buddies. You won’t abandon your sister now that you have a girlfriend, will you?”

"..."

Wen Shengsheng originally wanted to say, "Then let's go together."

Hearing this, I immediately gave up the idea.

I've roughly figured out what's going on between Gong Xiaochen and this Xia sister.

During the years he was abroad, Xia Xiaobai was there with him and took care of her a lot as her older brother. Now that Xia Xiaobai has had a fight with her boyfriend, she wants her family to comfort her.

Just then, a few men stood at the door and called out the names of Gong Xiaochen and Xia Xiaobai.

They were the cousins ​​of Gong Xiaochen who appeared at the Jianguo Hotel last time.

Seeing this, Wen Shengsheng took the initiative to say, "It's alright, you accompany Miss Xia to relax. I'm not feeling well, so I'll go home and rest first."

She took off her coat and returned it to Gong Xiaochen.

"Wear it." Gong Xiaochen didn't take the coat, but put it back on her.

He lowered his eyes to look at Xia Xiaobai, his sharp eyes flashing slightly.

Only then did he slowly leave.

Wen Shengsheng stood there until Gong Xiaochen and the others had completely left before she finally walked away from the Luneng Mansion.

Feeling a tightness in her chest, with the night breeze blowing, she suddenly understood why her brother-in-law hadn't wanted her to rush into marrying Gong Xiaochen.

Xia Xiaobai and his cousins' attitudes just now explained everything.

They must all know about the relationship between Gong Xiaochen and themselves, and they just saw her.

However, Xia Xiaobai deliberately ignored her almost the entire time.

They went out for drinks together, but he didn't even bother to invite her out.

So she could only tell Gong Xiaochen that she wasn't feeling well and that she was going home first, so that Gong Xiaochen wouldn't insist on taking her there.

Du Yuan drove smoothly back to No. 7 Courtyard.

Before I even entered the house, Gong Xiaochen sent me a message.

Not home yet?

I'll be back in a bit, wait for me.

Wen Shengsheng smiled slightly.

[Just arrived, it's okay. It's rare for you brothers to get together for a meal, so feel free to stay a little longer. I can go to bed early tonight.]

A few minutes later, Gong Xiaochen sent another message.

Are you still feeling unwell?

Wen Shengsheng: [It's not cold at home anymore, much better.]

The two chatted casually.

Wen Shengsheng understood that he was afraid she would feel neglected, so even while drinking outside, he tried to keep sending her messages.

Actually, there's no need to do that.

Having lived in the Xi family for so many years, she had seen far worse things than this.

The fact that the Gong family could at least maintain a polite facade was enough.

It's impossible for someone like her to be fully recognized.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Gong Xiaochen still hadn't returned. Wen Shengsheng was lying in bed, almost asleep.

Didi...

The phone rang again.

She thought it was a message from Gong Xiaochen, but when she opened her phone, she found out...

It was sent from an unknown number.

Do you really think he loves you?

It also included a picture.

It was in a dimly lit nightclub that Gong Xiaochen and one of his cousins ​​were drinking.

Xia Xiaobai seemed to have drunk too much, and fell asleep leaning against Gong Xiaochen's arm like a little bird.

Presumably because the room was quite hot, she took off her leather jacket, revealing a clean, close-fitting white t-shirt underneath. Her petite and delicate upper body, paired with her serene sleeping face, exuded both innocence and allure, revealing a touch of girlish charm.

Wen Shengsheng's drowsiness vanished instantly.

She stared at her phone for a while, telling herself the same thing over and over again.

There's nothing wrong with this between a brother and sister, don't worry about it.

But his fingers, as if possessed, dialed the number for Gong Xiaochen.
