Pei Xinru headed over to Alexander. Her friends were following her from behind. Fan Mei had a gleeful smile on her face while Lu Jieyou was uncertain about what to do.

As soon as Pei Xinru reached Alexander, the smile on her brightened.

"Brother Alexander!" Pei Xinru called out sweetly.

Alexander who was staring at the dead body of the Don of the Miguel family didn't hurry to look up as he heard the voice of a female but he felt someone's presence was going towards him, he couldn't stop his eyes from raising.

Upon seeing his gaze landing on her figure, Pei Xinru gasped and felt delighted to see that he took notice of her.

In her eyes, Alexander was smiling at her and had his arms widespread to welcome her in his arms. A blush crept on her cheeks as she lowered her eyes and stood closely towards Alexander.

Alexander glanced at her once before looking down at the corpse once again, completely ignoring the mentally ill young miss from the Chinese crime organization.

Still had her head on the clouds, Pei Xinru demurely looked up at him before following his gaze. She saw the lifeless body of the Don of the Miguel family and laughed.

"Brother Alexander, what happened to dear Luciano?"

Alexander sounded indifferent and distant, "Nothing."

Pei Xinru was the daughter of a friend and Alexander only acted out of consideration with his relationship with Pei Xinru's father and nothing more. His response naturally didn't contain any emotions as he answered.

Yan Xiaoran also noticed this and didn't say anything as it would be childish of her to feel jealous over something like this. However, with the way Pei Xinru was looking at her husband, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the young woman.

Especially when the murmurs began to sound for everyone.

"Look, it's Miss Pei."

"She seemed to be someone special to him."

"They looked close to each other."

"That's right. She's even speaking to him."

Many were in wonders as they saw this scene before them. They knew that the Pei family had some relations with Alexander and also thought that their relationship wasn't that simple.

They've heard how the Pei family told everyone that miss Pei Xinru will get the title as the Overlord's wife. It wasn't strange and their claim was quite possible since Alexander was also half Chinese and his treatment to the Pei family wasn't lukewarm or cold like how he treated other families.

Because of this, everyone was lead to believe the claims of the Pei family and began to curry favor them.

Pei Xinru's ears perked up as some of their words entered her ears. A sweet smile was on her lips as she took another step forward.

But her mood dampened when her eyes landed on the beautiful woman next to Alexander. She glared at Yan Xiaoran and pursed her lips.

On the other hand, Yan Xiaoran curled her lips into a gentle smile as if the glare that she was getting was nothing to her.

Irked by Yan Xiaoran's attitude towards her, Pei Xinru wanted nothing to push her out of the way and order her men to kill her. No one can stand beside Alexander but her!

As if she could hear what was on Pei Xinru's mind, Yan Xiaoran lifted the corner of her lips in a mocking smile. Undaunted by the murderous aura that was seeping out of Pei Xinru's body.

Pei Xinru walked over to where Yan Xiaoran was standing. Sending glares as she stood in between Alexander and Yan Xiaoran.

"Hi." She instantly began with a greeting.

Yan Xiaoran silently stared at her and greeted back. "Hello."

To Pei Xinru's eyes, Yan Xiaoran was nothing but a plaything to Alexander and nothing more. Once he was done with her, he would discard her.

As the future Overlord's wife, shouldn't she be considerate towards mere toys?

"Can you move over?" Pei Xinru politely said but her words carried deeper meanings and her voice carried her saltiness.

Yan Xiaoran didn't mind moving over a little bit. She can play along with this child's play but she didn't like Pei Xinru's attitude and the way she was stealing lustful glances at her husband.

Besides, who told this idiot that she can order her around?

"Why should I?" Yan Xiaoran smiled at Pei Xinru.

Pei Xinru didn't shy away and lifted her chin, "Because that's my place."

Yan Xiaoran smiled. Her eyes were filled with evilness. Her place? She found what Pei Xinru had just said the funniest thing in the world.

"What if I don't want to?" Yan Xiaoran continued to annoy her.

Pei Xinru smiled coldly and said, "Name your price and move."

To Pei Xinru, Yan Xiaoran was nothing but a woman bought with money. And thus, she thought that Yan Xiaoran was sticking with Alexander because he was paying her.

Yan Xiaoran almost laughed out loud at the words that left Pei Xinru's mouth. How could she not hear the meaning in her words?

Instead of feeling offended and insulted by what was said, Yan Xiaoran played along.

She stared at Pei Xinru's eyes and wickedly smiled, "Alright. I'll name my price."

Pei Xinru mockingly looked at Yan Xiaoran and waited for the latter to name her price. She couldn't wait to see her leave the party so she can eliminate her.

On the side, Alexander was listening to their exchanges while he inspected Luciano's body with his eyes. He frowned at what Pei Xinru said and knew what she was trying to do.

Actually, he wanted to push away the outsider who walked in between him and his wife. However, Yan Xiaoran sent a glare at him and that stopped him from reaching his hand out to push Pei Xinru.

Yan Xiaoran didn't want her husband to touch some other woman's body so she told him with her eyes to stop.

On the other hand, Pei Xinru was excited to hear her name her price and waited for Yan Xiaoran to open her mouth. It doesn't matter if Yan Xiaoran asked her a million dollar in cash, she'll give it to her in a heartbeat for as long as she can take her out of their world.

Seeing that Pei Xinru couldn't wait for much longer, Yan Xiaoran smilingly said, "The price is your life."
