After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Ji Nianci forced an unnatural smile: "Yes...yes, this place is a bit remote. The driver took a long detour to get here, so it's a bit late. By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​inviting me to a place like this?"

“The scenery here is so beautiful, and there are so few people, it’s perfect for us to chat and have a heart-to-heart talk, isn’t it?” Zhou An’s smile remained unchanged.

However, upon seeing it, Ji Nianci couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Zhou An took her hand and they walked slowly down the road. As they walked, they talked about their past love story.

"This reminds me of when we were dating. Every evening after dinner, we would hold hands and walk together on the playground, watching the sunset and chatting. It was so blissful. It's a pity we can never go back to those days."

After Zhou An finished speaking, he let out a long sigh with regret on his face.

But Ji Nianci was not in the mood to listen to his sentimental words; her thoughts involuntarily drifted into memories.

In their previous life, Zhou An held her hand in the same way, and the two walked along this same road, chatting.

However, what he was talking about in his previous life wasn't their time dating in college. After all, at this point in his previous life, the two were still in what was called a "relationship".

Instead, he kept showering her with sweet words and vowed that he would marry her once he made money.

At the time, I was overjoyed by his flattery and imagined a wonderful life ahead of me.

At that moment, she and Zhou An were walking side by side when Zhou An suddenly stretched out one leg and straddled her feet.

She was being led by the hand by Zhou An and wasn't looking down to watch where she was going. He tripped her hard, and she fell heavily to the ground.

When she tripped over Zhou An's foot, he pulled his own foot back sharply, and his hand holding hers also slipped away.

The road in this area hadn't been repaired much, and the surface was covered with sharp, fine sand and dirt. I was wearing a short skirt that day, so a lot of my skin was exposed.

Tripped by Zhou An, she fell flat on her face, suffering extensive abrasions on all four limbs. Various bits of mud and pebbles got stuck in her skin, causing her so much pain that she couldn't move or even speak.

Zhou An stared at the grown woman who had fallen straight down in front of him, seemingly only just realizing what had happened. He suddenly cried out in surprise, crouching down and saying, "Oh dear, baby, how did you fall? That's so careless of me! It's all my fault for not protecting you properly. Are you alright?"

She was in so much pain that she was seeing stars, and she had no time to think about why Zhou An's leg suddenly stretched out in front of her or why his hand had let go.

"It hurts so much..." She could only manage to squeeze out two words.

Seeing things develop in the direction he had imagined, Zhou An couldn't help but smile.

He then pretended to be anxious and said, "Baby, wait for me, I'll take you to the hospital right away. My car is up ahead, I'll go and drive it over first. You wait here for me, don't move around, okay? I'll be right back."

In fact, Zhou An could have easily carried her to the car, but he insisted on waiting on the ground while he drove the car over.

But she was in so much pain that she almost fainted, so she couldn't think of anything else. She just lay down in the middle of the road and waited for Zhou An to come over.

Zhou An slowly drove to within about fifty meters of her, then slowed down further and further. She was wondering why he was driving so slowly. Suddenly, Zhou An accelerated, slamming on the steering wheel and charging towards her.

She was completely stunned and couldn't react at all. Even if she had reacted, there was no way to dodge, and she could only watch helplessly as the car sped towards her...

The last thing she saw in her past life was Zhou An gripping the steering wheel tightly, a crazed smile on his face...

……

As Ci pulled herself out of her memories, a wave of fear washed over her, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She glanced down casually and, sure enough, saw Zhou An's restless foot.

The next second, Zhou An stretched his feet out in front of her in the same posture as in his previous life.

Ji Nianci sneered, raised his leg high, and stepped on it.

She wore chunky high heels today, and deliberately stomped on them twice.

"Ah—" Zhou An screamed in agony, a sound that was anything but ordinary.

"Ouch!" Hearing his cry of pain, Ji Nianci pretended to be surprised and let go of his foot. "Oops, how did I step on you? Are you alright? I'm so sorry, but it's not my fault, is it? How did your foot suddenly appear in front of me?"

"But it shouldn't be a big deal, I just stepped on it lightly." Ji Nianci looked at him with her big, blinking eyes, her face full of innocence.

Zhou An felt as if his bones had been broken.

"..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, it was my own carelessness, I wasn't watching where I was going, it's not your fault."

Ji Nianci immediately looked at her with disdain, "Then you'd better watch your step. You're really not watching where you're going. Your foot is sticking out in front of me. Are your eyes just for decoration?"

"..."

The two continued walking forward, and Zhou An, unwilling to give up, once again quietly stretched his foot out in front of her.

Ji Nianci had anticipated his actions and had been watching the situation beneath her intentionally or unintentionally.

When Zhou An used the same trick again, she stepped on it once more.

This time, as Ji Nianci stepped forward with her left foot, her right foot took another step forward. For a couple of seconds, Ji Nianci's entire weight pressed down on Zhou An's foot through the heel of her high heel.

I'll make you regret this.

"Ah—" Zhou An let out an even more shrill scream than before.

He felt that his bones must have really cracked.

……

"Oh my god—!" Ji Nianci exclaimed in surprise again, "No, what's wrong with you? Are you just asking to be trampled on?"

"I……"

"Sigh, forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. How's your foot? Are you still going to walk?"

"...It's alright, let's go..." Zhou An was in despair and could only limp forward.

At this moment, neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

Ji Nianci understood that Zhou An wouldn't use the same trick a third time. The situation had changed from her previous life, and she didn't know what methods Zhou An would use against her next. Without complete assurance of her safety, she couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Zhou An was pondering something when Ji Nianci, who was beside him, suddenly spoke up.

"What exactly did you call me here for today?"
