“Master, there’s smoke!” Yang Fan pointed at the thick pillar of smoke a small distance away as he spoke. Once they got nearer, there was a distinct smell of gasoline.Xing Beiyan looked at the car, which was almost burnt to ruins now, and his eyes narrowed before he walked over.Everyone behind him quickly followed suit.“There’s nobody in the car!” As soon as Yang Fan’s words fell, he felt like a large weight lifted off his shoulders.It was fortunate that the girl was not in the car because if something were to happen to her, he would suffer a similar fate.Yang Fan swiped at the sweat on his forehead as he studied his surroundings, finding everything slightly weird.Why was the car still here with not a person in sight?“Search…” Xing Beiyan coldly spat out a single word and everyone dispersed. Nobody realized that their usually invulnerable Master’s rigid body was starting to relax slightly.Even his slender hands with their distinct joints were trembling slightly.At thi
“Why would I know where your wife is? You’re quite interesting, Lord Xing. Could it be that you suspect I’ve kidnapped your wife?” Lin Xinhan taunted, his expression unchanging.“Maybe I should search the place myself?” Xing Beiyan’s tone was as cold as ice.“Are you trying to invade private property?” Lin Xinhan asked with a raised eyebrow.Xing Beiyan was not affected in the slightest.“Search!”The group of people behind Xing Beiyan immediately sprang into action.Assistant Ye was furious and was just about to stop them but Lin Xinhan extended an arm to stop him.“Young Master!” Assistant Ye was offended.Lin Xinhan smiled and shook his head as he looked towards Xing Beiyan.“Did you lose your wife, Lord Xing?“I heard you were on the news recently? I wonder if she disappeared because of that, tsk tsk~”“It’s none of your business, Young Master Lin.” Xing Beiyan glared at him coldly.“I’m not a nosy person but I merely wanted to remind Lord Xing that if you lose some peo
“What else could I do?” Lin Xinhan raised an eyebrow.“Didn’t you see the way they acted? They could’ve been a little more polite. It’s my first time seeing trespassers on private property so bold and confident!” his assistant huffed.“Hah~” Lin Xinhan chuckled. “You idiot, didn’t you hear what I called him just now?”The assistant was stunned for a moment before he suddenly stuttered, “Lord… Lord Xing…”“Who else is called Lord Xing in Wan City?” Lin Xinhan’s mouth pulled into a smirk.The assistant inhaled sharply.“Didn’t the tabloid newspaper say he was overseas…”“That report was from two days ago, my friend…” Lin Xinhan heaved a sigh before patting his assistant on the shoulder.The assistant was taken aback but he suddenly reacted as he shouted, “Oh my god!” His eyes went wide as he continued, “He said that woman was his wife!!!”The assistant lifted his head to look at his young master only to realize he was nowhere to be seen.“Why were you in a place like that?” Onc
However, Gu Xi realized that the cars and people that were following them were all gone now.“Where did everyone go?” she mumbled in confusion.Yang Fan, who was driving, was slightly flabbergasted.‘To avoid interrupting your nap, we’ve driven five rounds outside the Xing residence.’“Let’s get out of the car,” Xing Beiyan spoke first.As expected, Gu Xi was fine overall and after the doctor told them about what they needed to take note of, he left the Xing residence.Gu Xi looked at Xing Beiyan, who was sitting on the side of her bed, and felt an urge to ask him whether or not the scandal she saw was true.If it were an unfamiliar face and not that woman, she would not have put so much thought into it. After all, she had already been married to Xing Beiyan for a few years and he had kept his hands clean all this while since he had an extreme obsession with cleanliness.Therefore, he would never be so physically close to anyone besides her unless the circumstances forced him t
The couple was now in the process of waiting; Xing Beiyan was waiting for Gu Xi to ask while she was waiting for him to be honest. He was afraid that she would not care if he were to say it while she was afraid of making him angry if she spoke her mind.They were both being overly considerate of the other…Therefore causing such a scene.“Young Master, you’re awake. Young Madam made you breakfast,” Aunt Wang quickly came forward to say with a smile once she noticed Xing Beiyan coming down the stairs.Since the relationship between the couple had improved a lot over all this time, the young madam of the house’s bad temper had all but disappeared. She would silently care for their master while treating them excellently, which made all the staff in the residence feel pleased.Xing Beiyan was taken aback for a moment before he walked over to see the large breakfast on the table as he sat down.Aunt Wang hurriedly sat a bowl of porridge down in front of him.Xing Beiyan took a sip, t
Gu Xi widened her eyes, it was obvious that she did not expect this. She reached out to receive the lunchbox with shaking hands. The lunchbox was very big, and it was still hot. “Go back quickly,” Xing Beiyan mentioned, then gestured to his assistant at the front to drive away. Gu Xi returned to the rooftop in a daze after his car was no longer in sight. “Wow, Xixi, did you bring us food? Why is there only one?” Seeing as she returned with a lunchbox in her hands, Luo Yang ran toward her. He suddenly looked shy when he thought about something. “Is this a special delivery for me? Oh, I’m so touched.” Gu Xi rolled her eyes, then waved her hand at everyone else after getting her bag. “I’m taking a lunch break.” The others nodded at her. Luo Yang felt bitter. Gu Xi mentioned before she left, “The lunch was given by my husband, so there’s none for you.” The other people were indifferent. Luo Yang… There were not many people in the classroom. That said, Gu Xue’er an
It was a lunch made with love by Gu Xi’s husband. She was very delighted.Seeing as Gu Xi was unbothered, Gu Xue’er frowned a little and was jealous when she saw the delicious meal that Gu Xi was having. “Oh, Xixi received another lunchbox made with love. I’m so envious, it’s really good to be pretty.” Her sour comment drew everyone’s attention again. Upon seeing Gu Xi’s lunchbox, audible gulps were heard in the classroom at the same time. “Why are you envious? Doesn’t your boyfriend prepare lunchboxes for you?” Gu Xi showed her a confused look. The others reacted like they were struck with big news. “Gu Xue’er has a boyfriend? Why have I not heard about it?” “Exactly, she’s such a well-behaved girl, I don’t think she has a boyfriend.” Gu Xue’er instantly froze, but she quickly smiled. “What are you talking about? I don’t have time for a boyfriend. I’ve been getting ready for the shootings, and I have to review school lessons, so much so that I don’t have time to eat. Ho
That was because Gu Xi never attached any importance to it. Thinking back, she realized that she was extremely dumb. “Elder Sister Xue’er, when are you going to return my ring? I’ve lent you the ring for a year already, it’s the first gift given to me by my boyfriend,” Gu Xi mentioned unhappily. This time, she was not pretending as she was really displeased. She felt disgusted at the thought of her wedding ring being worn for a year by the person who killed her. Gu Xue’er was still annoyed at what Gu Xi said earlier, and she subconsciously covered her right hand when she heard what Gu Xi mentioned next. “Why? Are you reluctant to part with it?” Gu Xi looked at her meaningfully. The others looked at Gu Xue’er strangely without saying a word. “No, that’s not it. Please don’t be angry, I just forgot to return it to you.” Gu Xue’er thought that Gu Xi had forgotten about the ring long ago since Gu Xi never brought it up. She would sometimes wear it out to flaunt her status,
