Xu Xing had never suffered like this before. Since she was a child, she had been loved by thousands of people. Everyone protected or spoiled her. There wasn’t even a person who criticized her because she was beautiful and loved by the royal family. Xu Xing was really a little princess.

  “How bold of you to be so presumptuous.” Xu Xing yelled at the young kid and raised her hand, wanting to slap him. Ye Wei clasped her wrist and pinched it hard. Ye Wei was so strong that Xu Xing’s thin arm and wrist wouldn’t be able to stand it. She moaned in pain angrily.

  “Shut up!” Eleven couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted. Suddenly, the indoor temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. It was as cold as winter. Even Chu Li and Bai Ye felt that it was no surprise if she killed Xu Xing the next second.

  The little girl was rude. They didn’t like her very much.

  It was Ning Ning’s fault for pushing her down, but she actually raised her hand and wanted to slap Ning Ning. How dare she? It was okay if she was really Xu Nuo, as Ning Ning would probably be willing to be slapped by her. But she wasn’t. She was obviously seeking her own death if she ever dared to touch the young kid.

  If Ye Wei wasn’t going to do it, she was going to.

  Xu Xing’s eyes were red with anger and she glared at them fiercely. Then, she turned to glare at the young kid. However, Ye Wei and Eleven’s auras were really strong. As someone who was born in the royal family and was smart since she was young, Xu Xing knew what to do was the best for her.

  The young kid sat still and quietly. Bai Ye sat down beside him. It was good that at least, he could speak and hear now. After Ning Ning pushed Xu Xing down, all of them understood what was going on. Xu Nuo had been training since she was young and there would definitely be blisters on her hands as she would always hold on to the whip and silver gun. However, since Xu Xing was well-off, her hands were soft and smooth, unlike Xu Nuo’s.

  No wonder Ning Ning was so angry.

  “Baby, don’t blame us. We just want to fix your eyes,” Bai Ye said softly in a voice that was warm and sounded comfortable like the spring breeze in March. He rubbed the soft hair of the young kid and continued. “We shan’t disturb you anymore. Think about it yourself.”


  The young kid still had no expression. The murderous vibe which flashed past his eyes had disappeared too. His eyes became empty and so blank that people couldn’t bear to look at him.

  At such a young age, he really shouldn’t be tortured like this. Unfortunately, humans are fortune’s fool. There was nothing that they could do.

  Ye Wei grabbed Xu Xing and approached him. She said, “Ning Ning, your father and mother’s life and death are still unknown. If you don’t get well, I’m afraid that you’ll regret not to have met them for the last time.”


  “Wei Wei.” Chu Li’s face sank. “How can you talk to the child like this?”


  “Hey, the two of you, don’t spoil him so much. What’s wrong with what I said?” Ye Wei smiled so gently and coquettishly, but her bright eyes were without a trace of a smile. She squeezed her fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.

  She was obviously domineering and had threatened them without words. Anyone who disobeyed her shall die!

  Nobody else dared to say bad things about her, unless they didn’t want to live anymore.

  Xu Xing pointed to the young kid and her big eyes were full of anger. She said loudly, “Who is he? Why did you kidnap me here? The person you are looking for is not me at all. Let me go home.”


  Everybody looked at the young kid, but he just sat there blankly. They sighed. No matter how similar their looks and voices were, she was not the person he wanted. To him, Xu Xing was just another stranger. People like him were indifferent to people who were not related to them.

  “What can you do about it?” Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and laughed like Snow White’s evil stepmother. “I’ll kill you if you continue to make noise.”


  Xu Xing’s eyes turned red instantly. “You bully me. You all are bad guys. I want to tell Mommy and Daddy. You will be dead meat.”


  “Oh, showing off your strong backing again?” Ye Wei smiled coldly, looked at Xu Xing, and said slowly, “Listen, I’m tired of you mentioning your parents again and again. A child should learn to be good after being taught a lesson. If you continue to be like this, I’ll cut your tongue.”


  The smile on Ye Wei’s face was really scary. Children’s eyes are the purest and their senses are the sharpest. They can feel who is kind to them and who is not. Ye Wei obviously looked like she was going to teach her a lesson.

  Xu Xing covered her mouth in fear and her temper was completely suppressed by Ye Wei’s aggressiveness. She covered her mouth with force and tears fell down her cheeks. She did not want her tongue to be cut off.

  ‘Bad guys. They are bad guys.’


  Chu Li couldn’t help but laugh. Ye Wei really had her own way to teach both adults and children a lesson. Looking at how wronged the little princess felt and how she did not dare to cry out loud, one would know how great Ye Wei was at handling her.

  Bai Ye patted the young kid’s head. “Let’s go out and let Ning Ning stay alone for a while.”


  Chu Li crouched down and held the young kid’s hand. “My dear, hang on. You will be okay after this. Don’t you want to find your parents soon?”


  The young kid was expressionless. After the coldness had faded, he had always been so impassive and stupefied. Everybody felt helpless and had no choice but to leave.

  Suddenly…


  “Is there any news of Xu Nuo?” The young kid’s voice sounded hoarse and dry. Because the room was large, the anxiety and expectation in his voice seemed to be magnified.

  Their heart was heavy. ‘Xu Nuo’s news?’


  They looked at each other and didn’t know what to say. ‘Should we tell him that Xu Nuo is dead? Or do we tell him that Xu Nuo has not been found, and there will only be news tomorrow? Give him a little hope? What if they find her body tomorrow?’


  ‘How would Ning Ning be able to take the news?’


  ‘How can he stand to lose her once, gain hope, only to be hurt again?’ They were not sure if they could find Xu Nuo or not. However, according to the situation that Bai Ye and he had witnessed then, Bai Ye had already affirmed that the probability of Xu Nuo being alive was one in ten thousand.

  Ning Ning should understand.

  Even such a calm person like Bai Ye had no words to say. Ye Wei and Eleven were silent too. Who dared guarantee him at this time?

  There was silence for a long time.

  “Enough. I don’t want to hear it. Go.” The young kid turned his face away and his dark eyes were still covered with a thin layer of red. It was as though a hazy layer of despair was surrounding him and others could only feel a deep sadness.

  He didn’t want to hear it as he was afraid to hear the news of her death.

  Bai Ye smiled faintly and said, “Ning Ning, Chu Li has sent his men out to sea to find her and there will only be news tomorrow. I promise, no matter what the result is, we will not hide it from you.”


  The young kid was expressionless and his pinkish face was deathly pale. Everybody stopped talking and went out together.

  Ye Wei gave Xu Xing to her servant and asked her to take her for a rest. She turned her head and said, “Bai Ye, if Xu Nuo is still alive but weak, can you save her?”


  “It depends on the situation. I’ll have to take a look at her first.” Bai Ye’s medical skills were top-notch in the world. However, no matter how skilled he was, it would be useless if the person had died.

  Chu Li’s heart had stopped before, but he could save him because it was just an illusion. If he was really dead, no one could bring him back to life.

  Xu Nuo was already seriously injured before she fell. Her chance of survival was very slim.

  “It’s late today. Let’s wait for the news tomorrow,” Chu Li said. Everybody then parted ways and returned to their own room.

  When Ye Wei went back to her room, Mo Jue came out of the bath. Upon seeing Ye Wei, Mo Jue pounced on her excitedly, smiled purely, and said, “Wifey, do I smell nice?”


  His pink lips kissed Ye Wei’s lips. He didn’t have enough of it and gave her a few pecks on her lips again, as though his wife was his everything.

  Ye Wei’s impatience disappeared and she became happy. Mo Jue’s bathrobe came loose and his muscular chest could be seen. His hair was wet, his fair skin, enchanting features, and his purple eyes were gorgeous. He pouted his pink lips cutely and looked like a shy girl waiting to be ravaged—a shy girl who was pure and ignorant.

  Ye Wei cleared her throat. “Dry your hair and go to bed.”


  “No, wifey shall sleep with me.” Mo Jue lovingly pulled Ye Wei to the bed and hugged her, behaving like a spoilt brat. “Without wifey, I hate it.”


  There was manliness under his scorching masculine breath. Even when Mo Jue had become an idiot, he was still manly. Ye Wei’s heart rate increased and she pushed Mo Jue away. “I’m going to take a bath.”


  In the bathroom, Ye Wei stared at herself blushing in the mirror and couldn’t help but burst out. “Damn it, if I am thrown onto the bed by that little fool, how humiliated will I be?”


  It was a deep and artistic question.

  She could still deal with the cruel and cold Mo Jue, but this little idiot…


  “Crazy.” Ye Wei slapped her own head. What was she thinking about? Mo Jue couldn’t even take care of his own little Mo Jue. How could he do anything to her?

  Even if they were on the same bed, it’s fearful that Ye Wei would be the one who would lose herself and take action.

  Ye Wei smiled, bathed, and changed into her pajamas. Mo Jue was waiting for her with a pair of pure eyes like those of a deer. Upon seeing her come out, his purple eyes brightened. “Wifey, you are beautiful.”


  Ye Wei slapped the back of his head. “Sleep.”


  Feeling wronged, Mo Jue opened his eyes and complained about Ye Wei’s violence. Chu Li had clearly said that women would be happy if they were praised for their beauty. Why wasn’t his wife happy? Mo Jue was confused…


  “Wifey, don’t you like to be praised?”


  Ye Wei laughed attractively. She was confident and domineering. “Your wife’s beauty is universally recognized. Do I still need you to praise me?”


  Mo Jue, “…”


  ‘My wife is so narcissistic.’ Mo Jue thought. He climbed onto the bed and hugged Ye Wei with his long arms and legs. Ye Wei was not used to being held in such a way as she had always slept alone. This time, she was with Mo Jue. She had things to attend to on the first night and went back late. Hence, she had only slept for a while. However, that day, she had to watch him for twenty-four hours as Chu Li was wary of him. If not, she would never sacrifice half of her pillow.

  Damn it!

  “You’d better be nice and give me a good sleep.” Ye Wei broke away from his arm. “Sleep on your side. No crossing.”


  “No, I’m going to hug wifey to sleep.” How would Mo Jue listen to her? It was about his own welfare. He wrapped his arms around Ye Wei again and his pink lips were kissing Ye Wei’s earlobes nonstop. “Wifey, you smell good.”


  The hot and wet kiss at the back of her delicate ear made Ye Wei’s heart quiver. Her spine felt like there was a numbing electric current flowing through. She didn’t know what she was hit by and became soft and weak.

  A faint light pink surfaced on his fair skin and Mo Jue’s purple eyes darkened under the soft lighting. He got greedy and kissed her neck. Out of instinct, he bit Ye Wei’s earlobe tactlessly.

  Ye Wei shuddered and her toes curled up feebly. She had almost made an embarrassing sound. Mo Jue was addicted. Upon knowing that Ye Wei didn’t reject him, he kissed her harder as he loved seeing the expression on Ye Wei’s blushing face.

  The next day.

  There was news from Death Island as expected. They happened to be having breakfast in the hall. As soon as the news came back, everyone was quiet.

  The silence was deafening.

  Xu Nuo was dead!

  This was the news that came back from Death Island. Although they all had hope, this ending was not unexpected. After all, everyone knew that the chance was slim.

  When the servants saw that their masters were quiet, they also stood still quietly and only left without disturbing anyone when they needed to attend to something.

  “Where’s the body?” Bai Ye was the first to ask.

  The man in black had just returned. He said, “I can’t steal the body. There are Interpol and people of the Italian Mafia on the island. I can’t take action at all. But, I’m sure she’s dead.”


  “Are you sure it’s Xu Nuo?” Eleven asked flatly.

  “According to your description, it should be. The young girl was in red and there was a soft whip around her waist. I’ve seen the body. Her face was badly injured and I couldn’t really see how she looked like. It was scary. However, she was indeed in red. Her age fits too. Although I didn’t see her face, it should be her. There was only one child that had died that day.”


  Everyone listened with a heavy heart.

  ‘Xu Nuo is dead. What would happen to Ning Ning?’


  Chu Li said flatly, “Okay, we understand. You can go and rest first.”


  When the man left, everybody remained silent.

  Suddenly, someone made a soft noise. Bai Ye looked up. Ye Wei was surprised. “Ning Ning…”


  Everyone got up immediately. The young kid stood at the entrance of the restaurant with his pale face. His eyes looked even emptier now. Everyone knew that this was bad. He had already heard it before they could cover it up.

  “Ning Ning, come here and have some food.” Ye Wei went over to hug him. Ning Ning pushed her away, turned around, and left.

  Ye Wei wanted to stop him, but Bai Ye held her back. “Let him calm down.”


  The young kid knew that there would be news of Xu Nuo that day and he had ordered his servant to ask Chu Li in the morning. However, he didn’t want to hear the news of Xu Nuo’s death.

  ‘Nuo Nuo…’


  He sat alone in the atrium of the castle for the whole morning idly while holding the jade pendant that Xu Nuo gave him. In fact, he himself knew that there was little hope that Xu Nuo was alive.

  But he had always hoped that she could survive. Bai Ye would have a way to save her then.

  But now, even that little hope had been shattered.

  “Mommy…” Ning Ning shouted for Cheng Anya indifferently. “Mommy…”


  “Hey, why are you crying?” Xu Xing approached him and asked curiously. He was shocked to hear a voice similar to Xu Nuo’s. However, he knew that she was not Xu Nuo, but someone Chu Li had found. His Nuo Nuo had really left him forever.

  Was he crying?

  Why didn’t he know?

  Xu Xing walked closer to him. She was not a bad person and might even be simple and kindhearted. She was just too spoilt, had a heavier temper, and was a bit rude and childish. “Hey, stop crying. Your eyes are injured and tears will make them worse.”


  The young kid held the jade pendant in his hand. He had no feeling at all and didn’t want to respond to her.

  Xu Xing did not give up and sat down beside him. “Hey, do I look like someone you know? Is that why they kidnapped me here to treat your illness?”


  She was also a smart girl. In one night, she had figured out many things. “Is she dead?”


  “Scram.” The young kid hated to hear that word now.

  “Why are you so mean? I have no other malicious thoughts.” This was the second time Ning Ning had shouted at her. Xu Xing was not happy. How could he shout at her? Humph. “She’s dead. There’s no use in crying. She won’t rise from the dead.”


  “Go away. Don’t let me say it the third time.” The young kid looked sinister and ferocious.

  Xu Xing snorted. She was furious. The pride of the princess didn’t allow others to act so aggressively toward her. She snatched the jade pendant from the young kid. “What’s so great about you? Tell them to bring me back, or I won’t give this back to you.”


  The young kid was so angry that he stood up when the jade pendant was snatched from him. That was the only thing that Nuo Nuo had left him. To him, it was more precious than his life. No one can touch it at all.

  “Give it to me.” Although the young kid could not see, he could accurately know where Xu Xing was. His gloomy face made him look like an emissary from hell. There were murderous vibes radiating from his pinkish face.

  Xu Xing was shocked by his disposition. Although she was a little scared, she said firmly, “Tell them to let me go home.”


  Ning Ning was furious. Since he was young, he was rarely angered. He grasped Xu Xing’s hand accurately and she struggled. “I will not give it back to you. Never. Let me go home.”


  The young kid had great strength. He grabbed Xu Xing’s hand tightly, but Xu Xing struggled and hit Ning Ning with her little hand. Ning Ning seemed to not care at all as all he wanted was to take back his jade pendant.

  Bai Ye, Ye Wei, Chu Li, and the others were all looking from afar, but no one went to pull them apart.

  “Stop it. Try to snatch it from me again and I’ll smash it.” Upon seeing how desperate he was to get back the jade pendant, Xu Xing knew that it was very important to him. She became even more fearless and shouted at him insolently.

  The young kid was furious. “You are presumptuous!”


  He raised his hand and slapped Xu Xing’s face. Ning Ning’s eyes were as gloomy as a devil’s while a palm mark surfaced on Xu Xing’s face.

  “Oh, my god…” Ye Wei exclaimed. Even Bai Ye felt that it was unbelievable.

  Ning Ning slapped someone?

  It shocked them even more than the blood-rain. He was always so calm, elegant, and polite. How could he hit someone?

  “Give it to me!” It was as though a fierce ghost was living in Ning Ning’s black eyes. They were gloomy and cold.

  Xu Xing was hit by someone for the first time. She resented him and covered her red cheek with her hand. She looked at the young kid with hatred and then suddenly became cruel. “How dare you hit me? You are never getting this back again.”


  She raised her hand and threw the jade pendant away. With a tinkling sound, the jade pendant fell into the fountain pool in the atrium.
