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

Wen Shengsheng stared directly at Xi Yu with her scarlet eyes.

"You keep talking about resolving things, but what have you actually resolved?! What have you changed so far? You've just made me compromise time and time again, constantly pressured me, ignored me, and imposed your unfair terms on me."

"I'm a person! I'm not a stone. I feel pain, I suffocate, I can't take it anymore, you know that!"

Wen Shengsheng trembled all over. Even though there was no wind, she felt the cold wind around her penetrating her body, making her fingertips tremble.

"Stop it."

Xi Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart. A thousand words churned within him, but he could only utter these three words.

He raised his hand to hug Wen Shengsheng.

But Wen Shengsheng pushed him away.

She took off the watch Xi Yu had given her from her wrist and threw it forcefully to the ground.

Ding!

Hearing this, Xi Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Remember this, my surname is Wen, not Xi. You have no right to interfere in my affairs."

After speaking, Wen Shengsheng turned and left without looking back, her slender figure disappearing into the night rain.

The rain intensified, and the icy raindrops pounded on my body, penetrating my clothes and bringing a chill to my bones.

Because of the fever, her body was burning hot. At this moment, every drop of rain felt like a tiny ice needle, and when it landed on Wen Shengsheng's skin, it brought a chilling pain.

She walked unsteadily into the house, and vaguely saw a black car parked on the side of the road.

It seems to be Gong Xiaochen's car...

I can't tell if I feel relieved or exhausted.

Wen Shengsheng suddenly felt unable to walk.

Behind her was a crocodile-infested abyss, and in front of her was a sheer cliff that seemed to withstand a thousand cuts.

She had already been reborn, and she had already tried her best to avoid the tragedy of her previous life.

Why is it still so difficult?

My body suddenly lost all strength, and the bag in my hand fell to the ground.

Wen Shengsheng slowly squatted down, hugged herself, and let the cold rain hit her body.

Until a pair of black leather shoes came into view.

“I told you not to come, but you insisted. Now you know how uncomfortable it is.” Gong Xiaochen’s deep voice sounded above him.

Wen Shengsheng looked up.

Blood slowly seeped from the wound on her forehead, meandering down the contours of her cheeks, spreading into faint blushes under the influence of the rain.

Her lips trembled slightly, her face was as pale as paper, and her furrowed brows and broken eyes showed that she was struggling in this predicament of blood and rain.

Gong Xiaochen narrowed his sharp eyes, bent down, pulled her up, and drew her into his arms.

Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Did they hit you?"

After a long while, Wen Shengsheng finally found her voice.

"I guess so, but I guess not."

Gong Xiaochen raised his hand to wipe the blood from her face, only to find that her cheeks were also burning hot.

"So hot? Do you have a fever?"

"Ah."

Gong Xiaochen's brows furrowed tightly, his breathing suddenly intensified, and he lowered his head to kiss her fiercely.

"Wen Shengsheng, you're going to drive me crazy sooner or later!"

After speaking, he bent down and picked up Wen Shengsheng.

Chen Ze held an umbrella for the two of them the whole time. He quickly picked up the bag that Wen Shengsheng had thrown on the ground, then chased after Gong Xiaochen to open the car door, and finally returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

Like a ghost, the black car splashed water on the ground and quickly disappeared into the night.

At the entrance of the Xi residence, the umbrella in Xi Yu's hand silently slipped to the ground.

His cold, stern face instantly lost all color, turning as pale as paper.

His eyes were wide open, and his once deep and cold eyes were now filled with a mixture of shock and pain.

He was still worried about Wen Shengsheng walking alone, so he chased after her.

But I never expected to see such a scene.

Wen Shengsheng actually had an affair with Gong Xiaochen...

......

Inside the study of the Xi residence.

On the stove, the water in the handmade iron-clad silver crane longevity pot was boiling, bubbling and steaming.

Xi Maokun fiddled with his exquisite tea set, looking quite content.

"The tea shop has delivered some new tea. Please have a taste, sir."

Xi Ming took the kettle off the stove and began to brew tea for Xi Maokun.

He reported while making tea.

"After you left the restaurant, Wen Shengsheng and the second young master had another argument outside, and they seemed to have a big conflict."

"Big conflicts are a good thing." Xi Maokun took a sip of tea with a satisfied smile.

"It must have been after the second young master and Miss Li got engaged that their relationship started to deteriorate. After all, Wen Shengsheng was also with Young Master Li, and even the deepest feelings would be affected."

"You really think they're together? That Li Chuan is always pestering other women, and Wen Shengsheng isn't angry at all," Xi Maokun sneered. "It's clearly just an act for us."

Xi Ming paused in his tea-making.

"What should we do then? Should we put more pressure on her to move back?"

“No need.” Xi Maokun took a sip of tea and waved his hand, saying, “That Wen Shengsheng was never important. Keeping her in the Xi residence all these years was just to control Xi Yu. Now that they have a conflict, it suits my purposes perfectly.”

“Although Xi Yu has obediently gotten engaged to Li Wanqiu, I am his father. I know him. He still has Wen Shengsheng in his heart.”

"When everyone left the restaurant just now, I noticed that the way Second Master looked at Wen Shengsheng was a bit off," Xi Ming whispered a reminder.

"Him?" Xi Maokun paused in his tea drinking. "The second son has been doing quite well overseas these past few years, and he's getting more and more powerful. There are several projects that even I can't get involved in."

As if he had thought of something, Xi Maokun waved to Xi Ming.

"Hasn't the second brother been fighting with Xi Yu lately? Let's make some arrangements to put Wen Shengsheng between the two of them and intensify their conflict."

"Let them fight?" Xi Ming asked with some concern. "Second Master is a smiling tiger, cunning and ruthless. What if Second Young Master suffers a loss?"

Xi Maokun, however, revealed a cunning and sinister smile, like that of an old fox.

“With me here, Xi Yu won’t suffer any losses.”

"The reason for putting Wen Shengsheng in is twofold: firstly, to train Xi Yu and make him weaken the arrogance of the second son."

"Secondly, and most importantly, the best outcome would be to defeat Wen Shengsheng and completely extinguish Xi Yu's hopes."

"Your considerations are indeed thorough, sir." Xi Ming nodded in agreement, and added, "By the way, when Wen Shengsheng left just now, the bodyguards followed her all the way to the door and saw her being picked up by a man."

"Who?"

"Gong Xiaochen"

The water glass in Xi Maokun's hand clattered to the ground, spilling water everywhere.

"Gong Xiaochen?!"

"Yes, the bodyguard said the two seemed quite intimate, and the second young master saw it too."

Xi Maokun's two gray eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and a sharp and sinister look was revealed in his cloudy eyes.

"She really is a promiscuous and shameless woman. She only stayed at Qingshan Capital for two months and managed to hook up with Gong Xiaochen as well."

Although Xi Maokun was angry, he was a man who had experienced many storms and quickly calmed down.

"Do as I tell you first, test the waters, and see how they react."

"Men, even Gong Xiaochen, it's normal for them to like a beautiful woman. But if that woman becomes dirty or ugly, they'll just throw her away like a rag. It's not a big deal."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Xi Ming nodded and walked out of the study.

Xi Maokun poured himself another cup of tea. As he drank, he turned to look at the window that was being battered by the rain.

His mind was elsewhere, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned down, revealing a hint of ruthlessness and coldness.
