The fifty lashes of the whip that she had received before as a punishment for harming An Xiaoning had caused her so much pain that she’d been unable to get out of bed for several days.


This time, she dared not furnish any information and tell on Pei Yi.


She headed straight to Pei Yi’s room.


After knocking on the door, she entered to see that An Xiaoning was currently having dinner with Pei Yi.


She was filled with disgruntlement because she had never enjoyed the privilege of having a meal together with Pei Yi.


“What’s the matter?” Pei Yi asked, glaring at her.


Qin Guo answered softly, “Ancestor, could you come out with me for a while? I have something to say to you.”


Pei Yi put down his chopsticks and went out of the room, thinking that it must be some work-related matter that was not to be divulged to An Xiaoning. Little did he expect to hear such a thing from her.


Qin Guo said, “Ancestor, you must have fallen for An Xiaoning, haven’t you?”


“Is that any of your business?”


“I’m in no place to meddle with your business, Ancestor, but I’ve been by your side for so many years and there are some things I must say. An Xiaoning is not worth your painstaking efforts at all. Nothing about her is deserving of your attention. You’re only attracted to her personality, Ancestor. There are plenty of women who are just like her.”


“Find me one, then.”


Qin Guo was momentarily speechless, after which she asked brazenly, “Will you stop wasting your time and efforts on An Xiaoning once I find you a woman like her?”


“You’re really audacious, aren’t you? How dare you challenge me? Did you forget what I told you in the past? You’d better not poke your nose into my private life or I won’t show you mercy if you cause a stir. If you dare to breathe a word about this to my mother again, you won’t be receiving a punishment that’s as simple as fifty lashes of the whip. Got it?” he warned, glaring at her coldly.


“Yes,” Qin Guo answered softly, realizing that her words had no effect on him at all.


Pei Yi returned inside his room. The moment she heard the door close, Qin Guo raised her head and clenched her fists tightly.


Just what’s so attractive about An Xiaoning?


How infuriating!


I’ve been staying by Ancestor’s side for so many years and yet he’s never once treated me nicely. Yet, An Xiaoning got to sleep on his couch, eat with him, and stay in his room just days after arriving here. The thought of the unfair treatment she received made Qin Guo wish she could skin An Xiaoning alive.


However, she dared not act according to her wishes.


She was well aware of the consequences she would have to face if she were to do that.


When nighttime arrived, Pei Yi put her wrists in handcuffs and allowed her to sleep on the couch, just like in the past. He felt safe and a.s.sured with her limbs shackled to chains.


Little did he know, An Xiaoning was no longer the same An Xiaoning he had abducted back then.


Once the lights were switched off, An Xiaoning sat on the couch and stealthily broke the handcuffs and chains on her legs.


It had never occurred to Pei Yi that she would become so powerful.


He had a dream during his sleep.


He dreamed that An Xiaoning was pinned beneath himself and allowing him to get intimate with her while fondling her however he wanted. The dream felt so real that he thought she was lying naked beside him when he woke up.


He was still in a daze and a state of bewilderment when he sat up straight.


I must be out of my mind to have dreamed of something like that.


How unbelievable.


He had no intentions of touching an unchaste woman like her at all.


He got out of bed sluggishly at six o’clock in the morning, thinking that she must be sound asleep on the couch. To his astonishment, she was no longer in sight.


Noticing the severed handcuffs and chains on the couch, Pei Yi immediately checked the surveillance camera footages.


She’d actually tampered with the surveillance cameras.


He could not see a thing at all.


Just what was going on?


Pei Yi recalled the words she had said the night before and began to think that she was not as simple as she seems. If she had had the intention to kill me last night, I…


Just as Pei Yi was deep in his thoughts, he received a text message from An Xiaoning.


She wrote: “Thank you for inviting me to your place. The dishes were delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed them. Don’t send anyone to chase me. Let me off on the account that I spared your life last night. There are still a lot of important things for me to do. If there’s another chance for us to meet again in the future, I hope we’ll still be able to get along harmoniously just like we did during dinner last night.”


Pei Yi stared at the words on his screen and replied: “Could you tell me how you broke the handcuffs and chains?”


She quickly replied: “How am I supposed to escape again if I tell you? It’s a secret.”


“I didn’t throw those paper cranes away, they’re on the headboard of my bed.”


“What’s the use of keeping such worthless things?” An Xiaoning replied him with the words he had said earlier.


He did not reply again.


Pei Yi chucked his mobile phone into his pocket and pressed the bell. Qin Guo entered and asked, “Do you have any orders for me, Ancestor?”


“Prepare a set of breakfast for me.”


Qin Guo scanned the room, only to find that An Xiaoning was not in sight. After some thought, she asked, “Aren’t you going to prepare any for her?”


“She’s already left.”


Qin Guo’s jaw dropped and asked, “Ancestor, why did you let her go again?”


“I didn’t, she left on her own.”


“She left on her own? Ancestor, what do you mean? How could she leave without your permission?” asked a puzzled Qin Guo.


“Bring those for a test and find out what weapon was used to break them,” said Pei Yi, pointing at the broken handcuffs and chains on the couch.


Qin Guo stepped forward to pick the items up and immediately instructed her colleagues to have a test done.


She returned with the test results after Pei Yi had finished his breakfast.


“The master said that it wasn’t broken by a weapon.”


“How did they break, then?”


“The master is uncertain too.”


Pei Yi looked down and thought to himself, Those chains were of superior quality and cannot be broken easily, not even with any sharp tools or saws. Besides, all her limbs were chained together. I really can’t figure out how she could break the chains.


Whatever, I’ll figure out one day. There’s no hurry.



Gu Beicheng returned to the Gu family mansion to rest and recuperate together with Lin Mingxi once he arrived back in S Nation.


Mei Yangyang could finally step down.


Gu Beicheng could still handle work-related matters despite his condition.


Xiao Bai brought Rong Yan back to Wei Ni Estate.


Jin Qingyan could not believe his ears the moment he heard Xiao Bai’s words.


He squinted and asked coldly, “What… did you say?”


Xiao Bai swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself, Fortunately I left the child in the car and reported to Young Sir first. Or else, Rong Yan would have been terrified if he saw Young Sir’s reaction.


“The physician left his grandson under Young Madam’s care and the ceremony has been held. Young Madam has officially adopted him.”


An Xiaoning did not inform Jin Qingyan of the matter, which gave him a great shock.


It’s not that we can’t afford to raise him.


We can raise him all the way until adulthood, but there’s no need to adopt him at all.


It’s not like we don’t have a son of our own, why must…


“Young Sir, if you’re not willing to adopt him, I reckon Mr. Gu will be pleased to adopt him. Don’t get too upset. Discuss it with Young Madam when she’s back.”


“Did I say I’m not willing to?” he questioned.
