The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

The vehicle drove smoothly through the brightly lit, colorful, bustling city.

Chen Xiao drove faster than Yan Ting.

The car arrived at its destination quickly.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

Chen Xiao could tell that Yan Ting in this world was very wary of him, so he didn't rush to talk to her.

only……

My current wife looks so soft!

His personality was almost the complete opposite of his wife's before he time-traveled.

If Yan Ting before her time travel was a shrewd and detached young woman, then the current Yan Ting is a hedgehog covered in thorns, making it impossible for anyone to approach her or enter the depths of her heart.

Chen Xiao parked the car in the parking lot near the Jinbihuihuang Hotel.

At this moment, Yan Ting suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously asked Chen Xiao, "How much money do I need to transfer to you?"

The smile that had been hidden in Chen Xiao's eyes vanished instantly, and his tone turned slightly somber: "You don't need to give me money."

Yanting could clearly sense that the other person was a little angry, but she couldn't figure out why.

Unable to understand, Yanting could only politely thank him and then prepared to open the door and get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the car, her body swayed, her face turned pale, and she couldn't stop sweating.

Yan Ting quickly grabbed the car door, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.

It's over.

I forgot to bring candy when I went out today.

The next second, she was suddenly pulled into a broad and strong embrace.

At the same time, Yanting caught a whiff of a light scent, like the crisp fragrance of bamboo mixed with the cool scent of laundry detergent—it smelled wonderful.

A cold voice came from above: "You haven't eaten properly again."

His tone conveyed an unspeakable helplessness and sigh.

Yan Ting's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. The voice sounded so familiar; it felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

Then, a candy was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.

The refreshing sweetness of mint instantly spread across her tongue.

Yan Ting suddenly froze.

Although she has a sweet tooth, her favorite is mint-flavored candy.

No one knew this, not even Lu Huai knew that she had hypoglycemia.

Seeing Yan Ting's dazed look, Chen Xiao resisted the urge to ruffle his hair. He reached into his pocket, rummaged around, and pulled out a handful of colorful candies.

They have strawberry, mint, watermelon, milk, cola, and even durian flavors.

Each one was packed so tightly that a few accidentally fell to the ground and rolled away when I took them out.

Yanting stared wide-eyed like a cat: "..."

"Reach out your hand," Chen Xiao said succinctly.

Yan Ting subconsciously stretched out a hand.

Chen Xiao frowned: "Both together."

So Yanting obediently stretched out both hands and put them together.

Immediately, she saw that the other person had stuffed her palm full of candy.

Yan Ting: "..."

She didn't seem to have any pockets with the candy.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao quickly took this into consideration, so he opened Yan Ting's small bag and asked her to put all the candies into the bag.

Before leaving, Yanting heard the young man say, "Remember to eat on time."

"Chen Xiao, that's my name."

“…Thank you.” Yan Ting replied, her feelings slightly complicated. “My name is Yan Ting.”

……

Yan Ting sat in a secluded corner of the banquet hall, her eyes lowered as she looked at the candy stuffed into her small bag. She thought to herself, "What a strange person."

But he's a good person.

I should try to repay that gentleman when I have the chance.

She didn't notice that ever since she appeared in the banquet hall, many guests had been lingering on her with admiring gazes.

Yan Ting knew that the hostess of this banquet was Xu Rou, so Yan Nan asked the housekeeper to prepare a very simple pure black silk dress for her.

The woman's jet-black hair was curled up and casually draped over her shoulders. Her small, delicate ears were adorned with full, round pearls. Her naturally fair skin and bright red lips made her look even more like a retro Hong Kong beauty.

Xu Rou naturally noticed this scene.

A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Surprisingly, she arrived just in time.

Suddenly, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.

On the stage, Yanshan addressed the guests below the stage: "Let me introduce you all, this is our Yan family's biological daughter, Xu Rou, whom we have just found. From now on, she is the daughter of the Yan family."

Xu Rou lifted her skirt and stepped forward. Her eyes crinkled as she revealed a perfect smile that she had practiced at home for a long time, amidst the gathered gazes from below the stage: "Hello, my name is Xu Rou. I am very happy that you seniors have come to attend the banquet."

"Why is she still called Xu Rou?" Li Qian gently tapped Xu Rou's forehead and said reproachfully, "Your surname is Yan now."

“Yes, your surname is Yan now.” Yan Nan also said, “Tell your brother if you encounter any problems in the future, and your brother will protect you.”

"Okay." Lin Rou smiled sweetly, "I believe my brother will protect me."

Looking at the happy family of four on the stage, some people shifted their gaze to the Yanting Pavilion in a secluded corner.

The woman's expression was indifferent, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

But thinking about it, he must have felt a mix of emotions.

Lu Huai did not attend the banquet, but Yan Xun did.

Although the Yan family and the Yan family were secretly at odds, they still had to put on a show of it on the surface.

Yan Xun's older brother, Yan Si, naturally didn't want to attend a banquet that offered no benefit, so his younger brother had to come instead.

He looked at the beautiful woman sitting alone in the corner and thought with amusement, "Brother Lu was right about one thing: Yan Ting is indeed quite suitable to be a mistress."

Unfortunately, her surname is Yan.

Otherwise, he would really like to keep a canary like that.

However, the main reason for this was that Yan Xun was somewhat wary of Lu Huai.

Although the Lu family's foundation is not as deep as the Yan family's, their wealth and influence across the country in the business world should not be underestimated by the Yan family.

Furthermore, three years ago, Lu Huai began to gradually take over the Lu family's businesses and companies.

At that time, everyone thought that Lu Huai was too inexperienced and might not be able to control the power and money in his hands.

But unexpectedly, the Lu family's wealth and economy gradually showed an upward trend under his hands.

This made Yan Sidu of the Yan family somewhat admire Lu Huai.

He also specifically instructed Yan Xun to befriend Lu Huai.

Although Yan Xun usually seems carefree and like a spoiled brat, when it comes to matters of family interests, he is actually more quick-witted than anyone else.

Throughout this entire high society circle, there are countless people who wear masks.

Take Xu Rou, for example.

Honestly, Xu Rou's little tricks were completely invisible to Yan Xun.

You have to understand that children of powerful families like him learn to judge, recognize, and observe people from a very young age, so they are all very shrewd when it comes to understanding people's psychology.

"Yanting".

Yan Ting took a sip of orange juice and looked up to see Yan Nan walking towards her with a gloomy face.

Who was that man on the phone earlier?

Anyone would be angry if they were insulted like that.

Moreover, as the next head of the Yan family, Yan Nan has a stronger sense of self-esteem than anyone else.

Yan Ting suddenly found it inexplicably funny.

It was as if she was seeing this man she had called "brother" for the first time.

In fact, Yan Nan had been gentle and considerate towards her for a period of time.

But later, for some reason, Yan Nan suddenly changed his attitude towards her, began to ignore her, stopped smiling at her, and stopped taking care of her.

As a result, the siblings drifted apart and almost became strangers.
