As Shen Xinai watched Huo Siye carry away Shen Xingkong, she finally snapped out of her daze and stomped her feet in frustration before chasing after them.
Bai Ning stopped her.
"Miss Shen, we all know what happened. Fourth Master spared you this time for the sake of Third Madam's face. But if you continue to act so presumptuously, don't blame Fourth Master for taking action next time," Bai Ning said expressionlessly.
No matter how much Shen Xinai wanted to explain, she couldn't argue with Bai Ning's words.
Shen Xinai glared at Shen Xingkong.
This despicable person!
"Also, please personally clean the room. Fourth Master likes cleanliness and cannot tolerate filth. So remember, everything in the room must be replaced and disinfected at least three times," Bai Ning continued.
Shen Xinai was incredulous. "What did you say?"
Likes cleanliness?
Filth?
Then what was Huo Siye carrying just now?
Was he saying that she had dirtied the room? And she had to clean it herself?
Did he know who he was talking to?
She was the future Mrs. Huo!
But Bai Ning didn't answer. He wasn't her servant and had no obligation to respond to her.
...
In the car.
"Satisfied?" a cold voice sounded in Shen Xingkong's ear. She struggled to open her eyes and moved her lips slightly. "It's okay."
Ha!
This crazy little brat was being cheeky!
The little lunatic weakly smiled and hooked her dirty finger with his, "Ah ye..."
Huo Siye's heart trembled, "What did you say?"
Xingkong remained silent.
She was too tired.
"I'm asking you, what should I call you?" Huo Siye turned to the side, his dark eyes staring at Shen Xingkong without blinking.
His gaze was too intense, and Xingkong finally realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Ah ye...
In her past life, he had allowed her to call him Ah ye.
At that time, she hated him for ruining her innocence, how could she!
She didn't know if Shen Xinai had killed him in her past life, but she knew that she had never called him Ah ye until she died.
Xingkong was very sad.
"Fourth Prince," she licked her lips and changed her words.
Huo Siye snorted coldly, "You don't know your place."
Ah ye.
How long had it been since he heard those two words!
The softness that rose in his heart was fleeting.
"Where is my mother?" He pressed down on her, his rough fingertips unceremoniously pinching her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Our transaction is not yet complete."
"Do you believe that I can send you to meet God now?"
"I don't believe it." Xingkong shook her head, tilted her head, leaned into his arms, and coquettishly said, "Fourth Prince hasn't finished dealing with me yet~ How can you bear to do it?"
Huo Siye, "..."
Xingkong tightly grasped his arm, absorbing the warmth from his body.
In her past life... After the incident, everyone was cursing her, calling her shameless and accusing her of using any means necessary to seduce men, even causing her innocent sister to be raped by Huo Siye!
Everyone sympathized with the innocent Shen Xinai, but no one believed her words. Everyone believed that she wanted to seduce Huo Siye, but accidentally sent Shen Xinai to his bed.
She remembered clearly that Huo Siye had asked her if she wanted to marry him.
What did she say at that time?
She refused.
She refused for the sake of Shen Xinai!
No, she had never thought of making Huo Siye take responsibility from beginning to end. She just wanted to help Shen Xinai marry him. She didn't even think that she was being used.
Shen Xingkong, you are such a fool.
Shen Xinai finally got engaged to Huo Siye.
She, on the other hand, became a mouse crossing the street, with a ruined reputation, until her eventual tragic death.
Hatred.
It surged into her chest again and quickly spread throughout her body.
Huo Siye felt her trembling and thought she was scared of what had just happened.
What was the use of being scared now? Why didn't she feel scared when she was holding the knife?
...
In the hospital.
The doctor treated Xingkong's wounds and bandaged them before sending her back to the ward.
Xingkong poked the wound on her thigh and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air due to the pain.
Huo Siye, "..."
She was pretending to be crazy if she thought she could get away with it.
"Is Fourth Prince trying to pick a fight with me again by staring at me like this? Too bad, I'm not interested in fighting and shedding blood," Shen XingKong blinked her big eyes and made a helpless expression.
Huo Siye took a deep breath, "Young lady, be more reserved."
Shen XingKong smiled like a little fox, "Ah, so Fourth Prince likes reserved girls? No wonder Shen Xinai can't get your favor~"
Her smile was dazzling, and Huo Siye wanted to strangle her.
This woman!
She's crazy and wild!
Seeing Huo Siye's stern face, Starry Sky quickly changed the subject, "It was a pleasure working with you today. I hope we can have such a pleasant cooperation next time too!"
Huo Siye sneered, "You have a lot of guts."
Shen XingKong didn't take it to heart, "Thank you for the compliment."
Huo Siye, hmph!
Wait for me.
I will work hard to become strong enough to stand by your side one day.
"Fourth Prince, the Shen family is here," Bai Ning knocked on the door and said.
Hmm.
Why does Fourth Prince's face look like that of a virtuous man who has been harassed?
Upon hearing the words "Shen family," Shen XingKong's eyes instantly turned cold.
Are they coming to seek revenge so soon?
Fine.
Bring it on, one by one, pair by pair, and if they all come, we'll destroy them all!
Shen family... what they took from me, they should return it to me!
Feeling the hatred emanating from her, Huo Siye narrowed his eyes.
It was always like this.
Where did she get such deep hatred from?
"Fourth Prince, family secrets should not be revealed to outsiders. I won't keep you here any longer. When I'm discharged, I'll treat you to a meal~" The young girl grinned, as if the person who was filled with hatred just now wasn't her.
Huo Siye's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
But suddenly, his arm was pulled.
He lowered his gaze and saw the white and tender fingers, which were in sharp contrast to the black suit. His throat tightened for a moment.
"Siye, if I want to invite you to dinner, where can I find ya?"
What's with the "ya"?
Can't she speak properly?
Huo Siye wanted to straighten her tongue.
Bai Ning rubbed his ear. Did he mishear just now?
Miss Shen just called him... Siye?
Wow.
This was the first time someone dared to call the Fourth Prince by his name so brazenly.
"Miss Shen, I'll give you my contact information! If you want to invite the Fourth Prince to dinner, just call me!" Although his master's gaze was cold enough to kill, Bai Ning still nervously handed a business card to Shen Xingkong.
Ah, being an assistant was so difficult.
Not only did he have to handle his master's work, but he also had to worry about his sex life!
"Thank you, Assistant Bai!" Xingkong smiled sweetly.
Bai Ning replied, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
Uh... What did he do wrong?
Why did the Fourth Prince's gaze suddenly become as sharp as a knife?
Whoosh.
"Heh!"
Huo Siye sneered and broke free from the grip of Xingkong on his arm, striding away.
Bai Ning asked, "... What's wrong with Fourth Lord?"
