Chapter 42: The higher you climb, the harder you fall

Xi Muchen raised his eyebrows, "Are you blaming me for not dealing with that person directly?"

"I don't mean that." Xia Wanwan said, "I can handle it myself."

"But you're not cruel enough." Xi Muchen's gaze fell on the two figures who had just walked a short distance away, "Since the engagement party, you've been too lenient on her."

If it had been him dealing with someone who harmed himself, no matter their identity or relationship, he would never give that person a chance again.

"I've pretty much put her on ice." Xia Wanwan said somewhat unconvinced; she had clearly already avenged herself!

"Put her on ice? Can you do that forever?" Xi Muchen asked her in a low voice, the tone of his voice as if he were teaching a child, "In other words, even if you could keep her on ice forever, how much would she lose? She can still be a ballet dancer, still be the Xia family's second young miss, just not famous in the entertainment world, that's all."
