Jiang Ke looked at the shocked face Wen Xi was making, and a feeling of injustice rose up within her. "Not to butt in, but Young Master Nan, isn't it time for you to take care of the little princess of yours in your house? You guys haven't even gotten married yet, and she's hiring people to get rid of her, how is she supposed to marry you?"
With that, she moved closer to Wen Xi, standing between her and the man.
Yunchuan didn't say anything as he observed at the situation, only keeping a soft smile, making a "go ahead" gesture towards the door, telling Jiang Ke to go back in.
Jiang Ke was startled by that odd smile of his, but only a little.
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she raised her chin and looked back at him.
Yunchuan's eyes looked past her and fell on Wen Xi's white face. "Xixi, come here."
He couldn't see Wen Xi's full face, and naturally, he couldn't see the effort she was putting into controlling her emotions.
She was very aware of what sort of position she should face to be facing him, and right now she was trying to convince herself to press down her rage fo him. Only bad things would happen otherwise.
Jiang Ke took the silence as a 'no'. With that, she stood even more solidly in front of Wen Xi and blocked her face.
Yunchuan's smile grew wider, reaching out an arm as he spoke again. "Come here."
In the silence, a kind of anger suddenly showed itself in his black eyes, giving him a dark aura that went with his smile. It pierced deep into Jiang Ke's heart; it was a terrifying feeling.
Jiang Ke swallowed, but the fear was still there, though she kept her stance in front of Wen Xi anyway, not budging.
In the end, she couldn't take the pressure coming from this man anymore. She grabbed Wen Xi's hand and went inside the house. "Young Master Nan, it's probably better for you to leave first. Don't force her."
With that, she quickly walked away.
Wen Xi pulled on her, however, and the two stopped unexpectedly.
Jiang Ke looked over in suspicion, seeing Wen Xi's soft white hands in Yunchuan's palm.
Yunchuan showed a different smile from earlier. If the one before was a warning, this one was a smile of satisfaction.
With that, the anger in his eyes was gone as well.
Wen Xi stood beside him and looked at Jiang Ke. "I'll go first then, I'll leave the car with you."
Jiang Ke frowned but held back from saying what she wanted to say. She eyed him, letting her know she got it.
Wen Xi made an 'OK' sign back to her as well.
The two, hand-in-hand, went to Yunchuan's Maybach. Two beautiful people, a perfect couple; even the matching shadows proved it.
But Jiang Ke could see that Wen Xi wasn't holding Yunchuan's hand, in her eyes, it seemed like it was more forced.
This didn't seem like the Wen Xi she knew. Before the break, Wen Xi was still showing off their love in front of her, the two were madly in love! Now, it was a completely different scene.
Could it be that... After the whole Nan Muyun incident, Wen Xi had given up on this man?
She nodded to herself after thinking about it. Yes, if it were her, she'd stop liking this sort of person as well.
Inside the car, Wen Xi felt a strong sense of oppression. She lowered the window to look outward.
Yunchuan's hand was entangled with hers, and she was rubbing her middle finger. "Where's the ring? Why aren't you wearing it?"
Wen Xi looked at him for two or three seconds in silence. "I was afraid I'd lose it. It's in my room."
Yunchuan smiled and touched her face softly. "Even if you lose ten thousand of them, I wouldn't be sad at all. As long as it's something you love, I'll be able to get it for you."
His thumb slowly touched the side of her face until her lips, and his pointer finger lifted her chin. It seemed his lips were moments before reaching hers...
Wen Xi dodged her face the last instant, and he kissed the air.
The atmosphere tensed up, and she spoke up. "Let's go. To your house."
Yunchuan's eyebrows perked up, a little surprised. "In a hurry to get to my house?"
Wen Xi leaned back on the chair, looking at the road in front of her indifferently. "Didn't my mom discuss with you already? When you come back I'll live in your place."
Yunchuan smiled. "Alright, we'll do what you say."
He started the car.
During the calm ride, Wen Xi found herself calming down as well. What came next were the plans she had in mind.
