“You’re the one out of your mind! Where are you going to pick up your wife from? And what wife?” Qi Yanxi spluttered all over Sheng Yize’s face. “Wait, don’t tell me you’ve found some new woman already?! Xiaxia has only been missing for a few days! Sheng Yize, I’m going to kill you!”

Sheng Yize smiled. “That’s right. I’m picking up a new woman. Bite me!”

As if I could do that! Hmph!

On any other day, Qi Yanxi would have backed off by now, but not today! It was about his dignity as a man, as well as An Xiaxia’s welfare!

He raised a fist and swung at Sheng Yize.

Seeing this, Chi Yuanfeng and He Jiayu grabbed him from behind.

Sheng Yize patted the non-existent dust off his jacket and strolled out. Behind him, Qi Yanxi bellowed, “Sheng Yize, you heartless man! You’re shameless! Bah!”

–

The airport.

Kang Jian walked An Xiaxia to the arrival hall, then left to take the next flight out. He walked away in that brisk and proud manner without even saying goodbye.

Looking at Sheng Yize a short distance away, An Xiaxia suddenly felt nervous.

Wrapped in a scarf and wearing a hat, she inched toward him, staring at her own feet.

There were too many people around and some guy walking in a hurry bumped into her. She fell forward to the floor.

A pair of strong hands caught her by the waist in time.

That familiar refreshing smell filled her nose. An Xiaxia took one sniff and almost burst into tears.

“Sheng Yize...”

It had only been days since they last saw each other, but she felt like she had taken centuries and traveled the entire world to come back to him.

Sheng Yize rubbed her head. “Watch where you’re going, dummy!”

An Xiaxia buried her face in his chest and wept a little. “I’m really ugly now... you may find me quite unattractive. But even if you do, you still have to tell me you love me!”

Sheng Yize didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “When have I ever found you unattractive?”

“All the time...” An Xiaxia wiped her tears in grievance.

Sheng Yize sighed, took her hand, and led her back to the car.

Unwrapping her scarf, he saw that her fair cheeks had a few shallow cuts on them. Scabs had formed over the wounds, giving them a rather scary look.

“Well, you don’t look too bad,” said Sheng Yize indifferently.

An Xiaxia drew her scarf back up uneasily, then wrung her hands together and wouldn’t talk to him.

“Where have you been these last few days?”

“Hm... did you get that flash drive?” An Xiaxia changed the subject. Sheng Yize gave her a questioning look, but didn’t press her. “I did.”

If she didn’t want to tell him, so be it.

“What about Li Fanxing?”

Sheng Yize tossed her his phone. “See for yourself.”

An Xiaxia searched for related news and saw that the Yu City police had issued an announcement, informing the public about Li Fanxing’s crimes.

Tapping Weibo open, she saw that news on Li Fanxing was all over the front page.

“The one-time campus goddess turns out to be a serial killer! I’m so disillusioned (broken heart emoji)!”

“She’s so evil! She shouldn’t get life imprisonment! Give her the death penalty! Let this petition be heard!”

“Gosh... locking her own sister inside a cold storage, that’s so horrible!”

“...”

An Xiaxia sighed in relief. “Great! She’s finally behind bars.”

Sheng Yize suddenly hit the brake. Ignoring the cars queued up behind them, he pulled An Xiaxia to him and kissed her on the mouth!

“Mhm...”

The passionate kiss lasted for as long as three minutes.

The traffic police arrived and pounded on the window.

Sheng Yize rolled down the car window calmly and the police officer forgot his words when he recognized Sheng Yize’s face. He stammered, “Mr. Sheng... I didn’t know it was you...”
