Xuan Ying sealed her lips with his and kissed her hungrily. In that moment, the entire world was silent. All feelings of inferiority, hesitation and violence were far away. Her kiss was so gentle.

He knew that he shouldn’t get addicted.

She was already like that. He shouldn’t bully her anymore.

Why did she kiss him?

Perhaps out of pity?

She was confused right now.

Once she was clear-headed, the only feelings she had left for him would be condescension and hatred.

But he was reluctant to let go of this stolen time.

He knew that he was despicable.

After the kiss, he was reluctant to let go of her. His voice was rough as he said, “You’ll catch a cold, so get back into the bath, alright?”

Feng Lingxue’s gaze was gentle as she stared at him dully.

Picking her up in his arms, Xuan Ying put her back into the large European bathtub.

Staying with her, he unbuttoned his black shirt, revealing this strong tan chest and the solid muscles on his waist. He reached out with his strong arms to steady her delicate waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Feng Lingxue raised her head as Xuan Ying bent down. He kissed her lips lightly, refusing to let her go.

As he licked her lips gently, he observed her expression through half-shut eyes. She didn’t close her eyes and her gaze wandered around in confusion, not knowing that he was kissing her as a man.

Xuan Ying kissed her a few more times before letting go. He pulled open a drawer and took a candy out. He didn’t give it straight to her, but put it in his mouth and then kissed her once more.

As he pushed his tongue against her teeth. Feng Lingxue blinked a few times and opened her mouth.

Like this, he fed the candy straight into her mouth.

Tasting the sweetness of the candy, Feng Lingxue reached out to grab his shirt. She reached her tongue out to take the sweet. But before she could, Xuan Ying hooked it back into his mouth.

Raising her beautiful face, Feng Lingxue mirrored him, pushing her tongue into his mouth.

Yes, he was shameless for seducing her, but in this moment, he didn’t care.

She was completely clueless right now.

At this moment her small hands reached downwards and grabbed hold of the belt wrapped around his strong waist.

Xuan Ying ended the kiss abruptly and grabbed her small hands with his large palms, bringing them upwards.

“Lingling, don’t touch a man’s belt.” He looked at her gently yet full of emotion.

Feng Lingxue tilted her head and retracted her hand innocently before touching his belt again.

“Lingling, no!” Xuan Ying quickly picked her up, his jaw pressing hard against her fragrant forehead.

He didn’t want anyone else.

They had had many intimate nights ever since they were together, but never had he felt so free and uninhibited.

He wished that time would stop at this moment.

Because once tomorrow came around, it would be the end of their relationship.

He would end it himself.

He had already prepared a whole new beginning for her.

Feng Lingxue sat in his lap obediently. She chewed on the candy in her mouth happily.

…

The next morning.

As Feng Lingxue walked down the stairs, a maid quickly ran over and reminded her softly, “Miss Feng Lingxue, don’t forget Mu Mu and… the West Mountain Road.”

With that, the maid stuffed a magazine into Feng Lingxue’s hands. The cover was of a certain person’s jewelry company on the West Mountain Road.

Feng Lingxue looked at the magazine vacantly as her body turned cold.

At this moment, warmth spread through her shoulder. Xuan Ying had placed a cashmere cloak on her. After he pulled the cloak around her and fastened it from the front.

Lowering his eyes, he glanced at the magazine in her hands, before he smiled and asked, “You want to buy jewelry from this brand?”

But Feng Lingxue only raised her head to look at him blankly.

As Xuan Ying wrapped her small hands in his, he said softly, “Let’s go, I’ll take you there right now.”

…

The limousine started slowly as Xuan Ying and Feng Lingxue sat in the back. The maid was there as well.

“Master, where are we going?”

“West Mountain Road.”

“Yes, West Duke.”

Feng Lingxue’s face was deathly pale. She looked through the bright windows at the beautiful scenery flying by beside them. They were getting close and closer to West Mountain Road.

Her hands hanging by her side were freezing. She slowly clenched her fist, but felt no pain even as her fingers dug into her flesh.

“Lingling, let go.”

At this moment a warm hand reached over and grabbed hold of hers and slowly pried her hands apart.

He was gentle yet firm.

Feng Lingxue looked sideways and met Xuan Ying’s dark glassy eyes. He looked at her gently, his calm gaze filled with a comforting strength.

“Don’t…”

She opened her mouth.

Xuan Ying leaned in and put his ear to her red lips. “What?”

Feng Lingxue shook her head. “Don’t… don’t go… there’s… a bad guy… who wants to harm you… bad guy…”

Xuan Ying frowned as his heart stirred. He remembered what his mother said, that she was by nature a warm and kind-hearted person…

She would never harm someone.

She had never harmed anyone before.

He didn’t know whether she had already forgotten Mu Mu in her state of confusion or whether she had once considered exchanging his life for her daughter’s.

They were both lives.

Lowering his gaze, Xuan Ying could see that the maid was getting nervous. She snuck a quick look at them.

His thin lips slowly curved upwards as he reached out to put his hands around Feng Lingxue’s shoulders and pull her into his embrace.

He would love nothing more than to fuse her into his blood and bones right now.

“Don’t worry, Lingling.” He lowered his head to kiss her hair and placed his thin lips near her ear, saying softly, “I know. I know everything.”

Feng Lingxue stared vacantly as she tried to move.

But Xuan Ying had her soft, weak body in his iron embrace. His warmth spread through her, giving her comfort and making her feel safe. “As long as I’m here, Mu Mu will be back with you in no time.”

Feng Lingxue looked sideways out of the windows. They had already passed by the road sign and were at West Mountain Road. Her long lashes quivered as her eyes were suddenly rimmed with red.

“Silver Mask King, we’ve reached XX Jewelry Company. I’ll bring Miss Feng in to use the toilet,” the maid said as the limousine pulled over.

Xuan Ying lifted his head lightly to look at the maid and let go of Feng Lingxue. “Alright, go.”

Feng Lingxue got out of the car and followed the maid into XX Jewelry Company.

Right at the end, she turned back to look at Xuan Ying. The limousine was parked by the road side. Xuan Ying remained in his seat looking at her, his gaze gentler than it had ever been. “Go, Lingling.”

The maid pulled Feng Lingxue away.

Retracting her gaze, Feng Lingxue raised her legs to climb the stairs, when suddenlyー

Boom!!!

An explosion burst through the air, splitting the skies in its wake.
