He’s doing it on purpose!
An Ran’s little face turned bright red as she stared at that breathtakingly devilish face, utterly helpless.
Outside the door, seeing that Chi Cheng hadn’t reacted, An’s mother knocked again, "Chi Cheng?"
"Mm—" An Ran hurriedly covered her mouth.
A damp, tingling sensation brushed against her ear.
He... He actually put her ear in his mouth!
An intoxicating, electrifying feeling spread through her entire body imdiately.
It was unbearable...
She wanted to cry out.
The moan was stuck in her throat, she could barely hold it in.
The knocking sound was just behind her.
Her mother was standing right outside the door.
An Ran covered her mouth and turned to look at Chi Cheng, her eyes misted with tears.
Please, I’m begging you, stop.
Just then, Uncle Chi’s voice ca through from outside, "What’s going on?"
"I don’t know. I’ve called him but he hasn’t responded," An’s mother said worriedly. "Do you think sothing’s happened? Should we break the door down?"
No!
An Ran’s complexion turned pale as her legs gave out, unable to stand. She slid down the door, collapsing onto the floor bit by bit.
Chi Cheng finally decided he’d had enough fun.
With a sweep of his large hand, he scooped her up and carried her over to the couch, placing her down.
Only then did he leisurely walk over and open the door.
Seeing the door finally open, An’s mother quickly spoke up, "Chi Cheng? Are you alright?"
"Just fell asleep accidentally earlier. Is sothing the matter?"
Chi Cheng’s composed deanor now was completely different from his cunning, devilish side he had revealed in front of An Ran just monts ago.
This guy... so terrifying, so dangerous...
Like he was half darkness, half light.
An Ran trembled as she curled up against the corner of the couch.
It felt like she was walking step by step into his trap, with the cliff’s edge right in front of her — and she had no choice but to jump headfirst.

anwhile, Xiyan received a phone call from her forr agency.
They told her to co in for a eting at the company tomorrow at 10 AM to finalize the procedures. Soone would be sent over to pick her up.
The final procedures were nothing more than signing off on the contract termination for playing ugly, officially cutting ties with her old agency. She had to show up in person to sign.
Whew...
Finally, she wouldn’t have to keep wearing that unsightly makeup anymore~
Super thrilled, wasn’t she?
It had been five whole years.
Five years of being treated like so kind of monster.
At last, she wouldn’t have to endure it any longer!
The next morning.
At 9:50 AM, Xiyan had packed her bag and waited ahead of ti at the entrance to the alley for the company’s car to pick her up.
Her phone rang.
It was Ou Jue calling!
Xiyan’s heart skipped with a tiny burst of excitent, though she tried to sound calm when she answered, "Hello?"
"What are you doing?"
Ou Jue’s deep, steady voice ca through.
"Mm, about to head out."
"Where to?"
"Not telling you."
"Idiot, even if you don’t say it, I’ll still find out."
"I don’t believe you! How could you possibly know? Do you have x-ray vision or sothing?"
Ou Jue didn’t respond to her banter but instead spoke indifferently, "Sothing’s co up. I need to head to S City for two days."
S City was over a thousand kiloters away.
So far...
Xiyan felt a tiny pang of emptiness inside as she lowered her head, kicking at the ground absentmindedly. "Oh."
"...Xia Xiyan."
"What?"
"Don’t go looking at random guys. Wait for to co back."
"..." Xiyan’s heart started beating irregularly.
Beep beep.
A car pulled up, catching her attention. Xiyan looked up, "I... I’ve got stuff to do. Hanging up now!"
She quickly ended the call and dashed forward.
The car window rolled down, revealing the person inside.
Xiyan’s eyes widened in stunned disbelief—
