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

"Wen Shengsheng!"

Gong Xiaochen gritted his teeth and called her name, grabbing her chin with his large hand to make them look directly at each other.

His dark, sharp eyes suppressed a surge of anger and pain.

Wen Shengsheng's mouth dropped open. Her mind was still a little muddled, and it took her a long time to find her voice under Gong Xiaochen's gaze.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I don't know why I'm here." She looked at Xi Yu for help. "Brother Yu, you went to the Zhou family to save me. Why am I here? Please tell me!"

"Otherwise, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I still wouldn't be able to clear my name."

Seeing Gong Xiaochen make a move against Wen Shengsheng, Xi Yuren stood up.

But upon hearing her words, he stiffened slightly, then sat back down with a sullen face, slowly picked up a cigarette from the table next to him, and started smoking.

"Big brother, what are you doing smoking at a time like this? Say something!" Wen Shengsheng said anxiously, swatting away Gong Xiaochen's hand, throwing off the covers and getting out of bed, ready to go find Xi Yu.

Before he could even stand up, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground again.

Fortunately, Gong Xiaochen reacted quickly and caught her around the waist.

"Go back and lie down quickly. The medicine Zhou Xiang gave you was too strong. Wang Ming will have to come over and give you another injection later." Xi Yu also rushed over to help her.

“You heard everything, right?” Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng looked at Gong Xiaochen’s face. “It really is a misunderstanding. I didn’t lie here on purpose! Brother Yu doesn’t know the password to Courtyard No. 7. He can’t send me back, so he can only bring me here.”

“Look, my clothes haven’t been touched.” Wen Shengsheng pointed to the shirt she was wearing, which she had changed into this morning before leaving home. Gong Xiaochen would understand what was going on as soon as he looked at the surveillance footage.

Gong Xiaochen naturally knew that Wen Shengsheng wouldn't lie to him about this, but after being on tenterhooks for several hours, he rushed back to Beijing to find Wen Shengsheng, only to find her lying with another man, Xi Yu, whom he minded the most!

The impact on his heart was quite severe.

"Alright, stop talking. Your voice is hoarse." Gong Xiaochen's expression finally softened.

But when he turned to look at Xi Yu, he unconsciously frowned.

"What kind of pajamas are you wearing?!"

Only after he said that did Wen Shengsheng realize that Xi Yu was no longer wearing his daytime clothes, but a set of gray silk pajamas.

The cool and understated gray suits him well; his handsome features exude a touch of nobility and a sense of asceticism.

"I'm at home, not wearing pajamas? Or a suit?" Xi Yu exhaled a puff of smoke and raised an eyebrow provocatively.

Gong Xiaochen glared at him, his face dark as he took off his suit jacket and covered Wen Shengsheng with it, then pulled her into his arms.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

“No, Wang Ming went to get the medicine. He has to come back later to give Sheng Sheng another injection before he leaves,” Xi Yu said.

"You're the only one with a private doctor? And your doctor is the only one who can prescribe medicine?" Gong Xiaochen glanced at him unhappily.

“Young Master Gong naturally has the best doctors, but what you’re doing will delay Sheng Sheng’s treatment time. The dosage of medicine Zhou Xiang gave her is too large. If she isn’t cured in one go, it will harm her body.”

Gong Xiaochen paused, holding Wen Shengsheng's arms, and reluctantly put her down.

"Since we can't leave, let's talk about what happened."

Gong Xiaochen also lit a cigarette and began to scrutinize Xi Yu.

“Last night, around 8 p.m., Wen Shengsheng sent me her last message and then disappeared from the restaurant. That restaurant is under the Xi family’s name. You should know what happened better than anyone else, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to rescue her so quickly.”

“Yeah, I also want to know, how did you know I was with Zhou Xiang?” Wen Shengsheng chimed in.

“You went to the restroom and didn’t come back for a long time, so I went to look for you.” Xi Yu’s expression was serious. “I only found your phone in the restroom, so I felt that something must have happened. When I was about to check the surveillance footage, my second uncle told me that he saw Zhou Xiang’s car in the parking lot. I know that Zhou Xiang has always had feelings for you, so I took some people there.”

Xi Jianguo!?

“When Zhou Xiang took me away, he said that someone from the Xi family sold me to him, and that you get what you pay for,” Wen Shengsheng said. “Although he later said it was your father, I don’t think that makes sense!”

Xi Yu didn't reply, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"Why do you think it's not him?" Gong Xiaochen asked.

"The only thing I've done to offend Xi Maokun right now is breaking up with Li Chuan, but I ran into Zhou Xiang when we were talking about it at the restaurant that day, so the timing doesn't match up."

"You met him that night?"

Wen Shengsheng nodded. "I also ran into him once later at the Xi Corporation. If we check the Xi Corporation's surveillance footage, maybe we can find out who he was in contact with?"

"The Xi family's surveillance?" Xi Yu also asked.

Wen Shengsheng quickly recounted her two encounters with Zhou Xiang at the restaurant and at the Xi family's, including the things Zhou Xiang had said to her.

In retrospect, it all seems to have been premeditated.

"You didn't mention this to me at all!?" Gong Xiaochen frowned, his breathing becoming rapid.

"You're already troubled enough because of the Su family's affairs, I really don't want to cause you any more trouble."

"Is this troublesome? Wen Shengsheng, what if something happens to you?"

Wen Shengsheng pouted and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"What are you yelling about!" Xi Yu retorted, his cold gaze sweeping over Gong Xiaochen. "Young Master Gong is always busy with his own affairs. When Sheng Sheng had that accident, you didn't even show up. Now you have the nerve to blame her?!"

"..."

For the first time in his life, Gong Xiaochen was speechless.

“Um…this has nothing to do with him. After all, it’s a problem between the Xi family and Zhou Xiang…” Unable to bear seeing Gong Xiaochen suffer a setback, Wen Shengsheng couldn’t help but explain for him.

"If your situation has nothing to do with him, then what is your relationship? Why are you living with him?"

"You'll move here today, and from now on, don't have anything to do with him anymore," Xi Yuxun scolded like a child, his usually aloof and detached face showing a rare flicker of anger.

Wen Shengsheng immediately gave up.

She has lived with Xi Yu since she was a child. In a way, Xi Yu is like her parent, so when he loses his temper, it still has some deterrent effect on her.

"Young master, I've brought breakfast. There are pan-fried buns and soy milk, which Miss Wen likes."

Lin Yong's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Only then did everyone realize that it was already daylight.

Wen Shengsheng was truly grateful to Lin Yong, the little angel, for appearing in her life.

He quickly said, "Let's go, let's eat and chat. I'm starving after a whole night of running around."

She couldn't stand this chaotic scene for even a minute longer.
