In everyone's eyes, she deserved it.
But she was no longer the original Ye Anqi.
Ye Anqi bit her lip, trembling as she stood up and raised her hand to deliver a slap—
But her wrist was caught.
"Want to hit me?"
"You deserve to die!" Ye Anqi's eyes were full of hatred, "Even dying a million times wouldn't be too many!"
Ya Shitian maintained an elegant sneer, "Isn't this what you were hoping for?"
"Me, hoping?"
"Luring me here on purpose, and even setting up something in the room. I thought you were targeting your sister, but it seems you wanted to take action yourself."
Ye Anqi despised the original occupant of her body.
To be jealous of the female lead, there was no need to ruin her like this.
Now, well, the person who suffered was herself.
And such an obvious plot could be easily exposed, right?
In short, the original was an idiot.
"Nothing to say now?" Ya Shitian flung her hand away.
As a result, his force was so strong that, combined with Ye Anqi's weakness, she tumbled onto the bed.
"Do you know what the consequences of scheming against me are?" Ya Shitian looked down at her, his tone icy as he asked.
Ye Anqi felt a chill in her heart.
Of course, she knew.
In two days, he would use her as a shield to take a bullet to save the female lead.
Even if he didn't save the female lead, he would still want her life.
Because no one could scheme against him.
However, Ye Anqi didn't want to beg for mercy, "Yes, I did it. I schemed against you, and you've had your fair share of advantages from it. We're even."
"Heh—" Ya Shitian sneered, "You think we can settle it that easily?"
"Then, what do you want?"
Ya Shitian pinched her chin, "Tell me, what was your aim in scheming against me?"
"I just wanted to teach Ye Rumeng a lesson."
"Tell the truth."
"I am telling the truth. It's just that I didn't expect the drug to be that potent, so I rushed in to save her. I only wanted to teach her a lesson," Ye Anqi tried to downplay the enmity between her and the female lead.
Ya Shitian narrowed his eyes, unable to see through her guise.
"No matter what your purpose was, to dare scheme against me, you must be prepared to die."
Ye Anqi lifted an eyebrow: "Fine, then kill me if you want."
"You're not afraid of death?" Ya Shitian's lips curved with amusement.
"Of course, I am. But if you want to kill me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Ya Shitian looked at her beautiful face and gave a devilish smile: "Killing you is too simple, keeping you alive serves other purposes."
"..."
"Mr. Ya, what happened?!" It was at this moment that Ye Wenshan, the father of Ye Anqi and Ye Rumeng, suddenly appeared.
He looked at everything in the room, his expression one of disbelief.
Ya Shitian straightened up. He didn't answer but let his gaze wander between Ye Anqi and Ye Rumeng.
Then, he smiled and said, "Ye Wenshan, your daughter is quite something. I'll take her."
Ye Wenshan looked troubled, "Both of them?"
"Don't worry, I won't shortchange you." Ya Shitian's tone was cold, his expression brooking no argument.
Ye Wenshan replied with an ingratiating smile, "For Young Master Ya to fancy them is their good fortune, rest assured, I know what to do."
Ya Shitian showed a satisfied expression.
With a faint smile and a profound glance at Ye Anqi, he took his leave.
As soon as he left, Ye Wenshan immediately instructed the servants to take Ye Anqi away and to resuscitate Ye Rumeng.
In the luxurious bathroom, Ye Anqi vigorously scrubbed her body three times.
She still felt dirty, disgusted.
"Miss, are you done washing? The master wants to see you," a servant's voice came from outside.
