  “Stop! Don’t cry now and finish what you said earlier. Unless what? What has it got to do with me?” Zheng Yan took two more tissues and sat beside Nian Xiaomu, helping her to wipe her tears away.

  Nian Xiaomu grabbed onto her hand, looking at her with puppy eyes filled with tears.

  “You really want me to say it?”


  “Say it, ” Zheng Yan replied in a domineering tone.

  “Let’s get things straight first. You’re not to get angry,” Nian Xiaomu pushed her luck and requested.

  Zheng Yan raised her guard and eyed her from top to toe. Thereafter, realizing that she was not such a person, she replied assuringly, “Just spit it out and cut with the crap. Otherwise, I’ll leave now and you can continue to stay here and cry your eyes out, okay?”


  “I’ll say it, I’ll say it!” Nian Xiaomu hurriedly held her back. The emotions she had been brewing all this time were all for this moment.

  Nian Xiaomu turned and instructed the butler to first brew a cup of Zheng Yan’s favorite rose tea.

  She then passed it to her sweetly.

  “Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first.”


  Zheng Yan cast a vigilant glance at her before taking the teacup from her and drinking a mouthful of it.

  Her phoenix eyes had just curled into a straight line in satisfaction when the following second, she heard Nian Xiaomu mutter, “I want you to help me seduce Mo Yongheng…”


  Pfft—!

  The rose tea that Zheng Yan had just drank splattered out from her mouth and all of it landed directly on Nian Xiaomu’s face.

  “Xiao Mumu… Sorry, sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. But, your words were simply too scary. Are you joking with me…” Zheng Yan returned to her senses and hurriedly placed the teacup down. She then took a tissue and reached out to try to wipe Nian Xiaomu’s face for her.

  However, Nian Xiaomu grabbed onto her hand and stared at her with her face full of tears and stained with tea, just like a little kitten which had just been picked up from water.

  With a pitiful tone and expression, she muttered, “I’m already in this pitiful state, do you think I’m joking with you?”


  It just happened that the butler arrived before them with a hot towel, so Zheng Yan quickly took the towel from him without hesitation and passed it to her.

  “Let’s not talk about that now. Hurry and wipe your face first.”


  “I’m not wiping unless you promise me that you won’t get angry and that you’ll let me finish my words!” Nian Xiaomu responded wilfully.

  Only after Zheng Yan had promised her, did she finally take the towel and wipe off all the tea on her face.

  Then, she got everyone in the living room to leave.

  The tense atmosphere instantly started to fill up the huge space.

  Nian Xiaomu turned and stared intently at Zheng Yan without taking her eyes off her.

  With that stare of hers, Zheng Yan felt her scalp feeling numb and could feel goosebumps all over her!

  She started to shift to a corner of the sofa and placed a cushion before her to shield herself. “I’m warning you, just speak properly and don’t look at me like that. I feel like you’re touching me all over with that gaze of yours.”


  Nian Xiaomu exclaimed, “Pft, pft! I’m a woman, why would I use my gaze to touch you all over?”


  Zheng Yan raised her chest outward to show her gorgeous upper body and raised her eyebrows confidently. “Well, I can’t be sure of that. With this face and body of mine, I probably would be able to attract both men and women. You’ve even begun to miss my looks!”


  “Right, right, right. You’re right.” Nian Xiaomu was amused by her words.

  After her warning was gone, the two finally composed themselves and Zheng Yan asked her directly, “What did you mean by your words earlier? You want me to seduce Mo Yongheng and get you evidence of his adultery so that you can show it to Mr. Mo and cancel the marriage?”


  “Am I such a despicable person?” Nian Xiaomu retorted disapprovingly.

  Zheng Yan nodded her head without hesitation. “You are!”


  “…”


  With her hand on her chest, Nian Xiaomu put on a heartbroken expression. “Xiao Yanyan, to think that I love you so much and you actually can doubt my character like that. My heart hurts so much!”


  Zheng Yan crossed her arms and darted a cold glance at her. “Quit acting. If you die from the pain, I’d have helped remove an evildoer from this world.”
