“I can’t answer that question. Have you seen the drawing?”

She replied, “Yes. Is that real or was it just a random picture you painted?”

“It’s real. I’m guessing Xi Houling has already destroyed that drawing.”

Astonished, An Xiaoning replied, “Why did you guess that?”

He replied, “Because there was once a man who stole a few too many glances at you, and Xi Houling ruthlessly gouged that man’s eyes out. The picture depicts you and a male stranger. How could he possibly keep it if he’s seen it?”

An Xiaoning was rather apprehensive and doubtful of his words. Was Jin Qingyan really that cruel in the past?

She yearned to find out the truth.

She lay in bed and stared at the ceiling above. She then replied, “What’s your purpose in sending me that drawing, then?”

He answered truthfully, “I wanted to spite him on purpose.”

An Xiaoning almost choked when she read his reply. Were they rivals in our previous lifetime?

I’ll know once I test him.

“Did you spite him on purpose… because you two used to be rivals in love?”

It was the sender’s turn to choke.

“Hua Jin, you’ve gotten even more shameless than before. How could I be his rival in love? You may be a precious gem in his eyes, but to me, you’re just a worthless nothing.”

An Xiaoning could not be bothered to argue with him after seeing how harsh he was with his criticism of her. She replied, “You’re such a haughty and arrogant narcissist.”

Shi Shaochuan was initially planning to let Bu Xianxian return to her own place for one night and come back after Shi Bao’er leaves the next morning. To his surprise, Bu Xianxian did not agree.

Although he was rather puzzled, he did not say much.

He was also planning to bring Shi Bao’er to the amusement park for a day of fun and to make things clear to her. However, she was against the idea.

Hence, the three of them spent the entire day watching television at home.

Shi Shaochuan went out in the afternoon to have a few drinks with his friends.

Shi Bao’er and Bu Xianxian were left alone at home.

Bu Xianxian was watching television on the first floor while Shi Bao’er stealthily headed to her father’s bedroom upstairs.

She opened the drawer, only to discover that it contained Bu Xianxian’s clothes and lingerie. Shi Bao’er closed the drawer and shifted her gaze onto the cosmetic products on the table.

An idea popped up in her mind, and she swiftly exited the room before returning again more than ten minutes later.

She walked toward the dressing table and poured some pesticide, which she had obtained stealthily, into each bottle of cosmetic product. She then shook the bottles before leaving.

She exited with the empty pesticide bottle and placed it back in its original position. A gardener then proceeded to grab the bottle, only to find that it was empty. “Missy, did you touch this pesticide?” the gardener asked.

“I poured it away.”

“Oh, good that you didn’t drink it. It’s a very poisonous pesticide.”

“I obviously wouldn’t drink it.”

I’m already in elementary school. I can read the words written on the bottle clearly, Shi Bao’er thought to herself.

She was in utmost awe of herself for being able to devise such a clever trick.

She was as happy as a lark because of the prank she had pulled.

All of a sudden, she decided not to stay at home and instead called her father so he could bring her back to the martial arts academy.

Shi Shaochuan headed home to send her to the academy and instructed her to focus on training and learning in the boot camp.

Shi Bao’er agreed and skipped through the entrance merrily.

An Xiaoning took a nap in the afternoon and woke up afterward to a text message Jin Qingyan had sent her. He informed her that he would be discussing a business deal with CEO Zhou and would not be coming home for dinner. He also told her that he would only be returning in the late evening.

Thus, she had dinner alone, after which she took a walk to aid digestion. However, she strayed a little too far from the main mansion.

“Young Madam, turns out you’re here,” said Xiao Huang, who was panting heavily from running.

“What’s the matter, Xiao Huang?”

“I tried to call you but I couldn’t get through to you. Chief wants me to tell you to go over.”

“Alright.” She followed Xiao Huang back and asked, “Did he say what it’s about?”

Xiao Huang answered softly, “Young Sir got a relapse…”

“Is anyone watching him?”

“The bodyguards called Chief Fan and they’re keeping close tabs on Young Sir. The Chief asked you if you’d like them to knock Young Sir out and bring him home. That was what Young Sir told us to do previously, in the event of a relapse.”

“No, that doesn’t solve the problem at all.” She picked up her tracks and strode forward quickly.

She had already consulted a psychiatric expert and obtained an effective solution for Jin Qingyan’s condition. She was told to not knock him unconscious whenever he suffers a relapse, for it would only control his condition temporarily. The root of the problem would not be addressed at all.

Since Jin Qingyan was suffering from a psychological disorder, it was crucial to seek treatment that would tackle the root problem.

Fan Shixin was waiting for her in the guardroom. Upon seeing her, he immediately said, “What do we do now? Do we knock him out and bring him home?”

She repeated the words she said to Xiao Huang earlier. “Knocking him out is not going to solve the problem. We can’t possibly knock him out for life, can we?”

“Young Madam, you mean…?’

“How did he suffer a sudden relapse? What did the bodyguards who followed him say?”

“The bodyguards said that Young Sir caught sight of a woman being violated by three men at the night club and so he decided to intervene and stop them. In the end, the men were very arrogant and they didn’t recognize who Young Sir was because he was wearing shades. Young Sir only brought two bodyguards with him, and the men were not intimidated by him at all and began hitting him. Although Young Sir didn’t lose the brawl…”

“Which nightclub was it?”

“I’ll take you there.”

“Drive the car there, hurry,” An Xiaoning urged.

“Got it.” Xiao Huang took the key away from Fan Shixin’s hands and scurried toward the car.

Within two minutes, the car arrived at the entrance. Xiao Huang alighted while Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning got inside the car.

They then swiftly drove out of Wei Ni Estate toward the destination.

An Xiaoning instructed Fan Shixin what to do when they meet Jin Qingyan later. Fan Shixin did her bidding.

Once they arrived, they weaved through the crowd and headed upstairs.

She had already verified with the bodyguards that Jin Qingyan was indeed inside the private room.

It would be a piece of cake for her to find which room he was in.

However, she bumped into a familiar face as soon as she entered the corridor.

It was CEO Zhou, the businessman whom Jin Qingyan was supposed to meet with tonight.

CEO Zhou walked toward her with a sullen expression on his face. Upon the sight of her, he stopped in his tracks.

He said, “Ms. An, you must be here to catch him red-handed in bed.”

“Catch him red-handed? You’re reading too much into things. Everyone knows that I’m the only person Qingyan loves. It’s better that you don’t spout any nonsense, lest you create unnecessary trouble for my lover, CEO Zhou.”

“I’m spouting nonsense? You’d better go inside and take a look for yourself. I was initially planning to discuss a deal with CEO Jin, yet he focused all his attention on a woman and completely ignored me. He disregarded our business deal. Well, the Jin Corporation is a huge and wealthy corporation. Losing a deal with us shouldn’t matter much.”
