Song Yuxiu recognized most of the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Although this man was dressed simply, his demeanor was unlike that of an ordinary person. Perhaps it was a man's sixth sense at work, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind...

he,

They've come to steal Chen Zhiyi from me!

Xiao Zhongxuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the food box engraved with the words "Xuanhua Marquis's Residence" placed to the side.

"Who are you!" Song Yuxiu's face suddenly turned cold.

The red stamens and green lotus leaves were also taken aback.

When did he appear?

Hearing a noise inside, the two assumed their young lady had gotten up and hurriedly went inside.

“Young Master Song.” Xiao Zhongxuan stood up, walked closer, and nodded slightly to him. He was polite and courteous, and lowered his voice, “Madam went to bed late last night. If you want to see her, you should come later.”

He wore a faint smile, appearing gentle and refined, but his eyes, as he sized up Song Yuxiu, clearly carried a hint of provocation!

Does Chen Zhiyi sleep late?

How did this man know?

"You two were together last night?" Song Yuxiu glared at him angrily.

That expression...

They look exactly like they're about to catch their partner cheating!

No, that's impossible!

Shen Zhiyi loved him so much, how could she suddenly have entanglements with other men?

This bastard, could he be thinking of taking advantage of my good looks to sneak into my room? So he rushed over and shouted, "I'm warning you, stay away from my wife!"

"Your wife?" Xiao Zhongxuan chuckled. "She won't be for long."

"you……"

Song Yuxiu took a step forward, grabbed his collar, and said in a low voice, "I don't care who you are or where you came from, know your place."

Instead of being angry, Xiao Zhongxuan laughed, "You two are about to get a divorce, so what gives Prince Song the right to warn me?"

"As long as we're not divorced, we're still husband and wife!"

Song Yuxiu's hand gripping his collar tightened. "Shen Zhiyi loves me with all her heart. What are you? You dare to make a move on her? Believe me, I'll kill you!"

At the family reunion banquet, both the Empress Dowager and the Regent were present. If Shen Zhiyi insisted on divorce, they could divorce on the spot.

But she didn't...

The Song family discussed the matter all night.

I always believed that Shen Zhiyi could never let go of him and was unwilling to divorce him.

After so many things happened, as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, she must take action to maintain her dignity and honor, hence her proposal for divorce.

However, he didn't push things too far, forcing Song Yuxiu to write a divorce agreement on the spot.

This shows that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

So, as dawn broke, Song Yuxiu personally cooked some pastries that Shen Zhiyi liked and delivered them to her.

But Song Yuxiu never expected to encounter a "wild man" at the Duke's mansion!

Faced with his warning, Xiao Zhongxuan's lips curled into a slight smirk, full of mockery.

Song Yuxiu gritted his teeth: "Shen Zhiyi is mine!"

"Yours?" Xiao Zhongxuan raised an eyebrow. "Married for two years, and you haven't even consummated your marriage. What kind of couple are you?"

"Besides..."

"You're just a useless infertile woman, what would she want you for?"

Song Yuxiu's pupils suddenly dilated.

he……

How dare you say such a thing to his face!

The news of his childlessness had spread throughout the capital, and people only gossiped about it privately; no one dared to humiliate him to his face.

"Who do you think you are, daring to talk back to me!" Song Yuxiu grabbed his collar with one hand, raised his other arm, and aimed at his face, ready to punch him.

Just as his fist was an inch from his face, it was...

He took it by force!

His hands, rough and dry, gripped Song Yuxiu's hand tightly.

Continuously

Tighten!

The force was so strong it felt like it was going to crush his hand.

Song Yuxiu's scalp tingled with pain. Just moments ago he had been arrogantly shouting that he would kill him, but now the color drained from his face rapidly. "You...you let go!"

The hand that had been gripping his collar was forced to let go.

"Let me go right now! I am the heir of the Marquis of Xuanhua's mansion. How dare you touch me? Are you tired of living?" Fearing that he would cause trouble at the Duke's mansion and displease Shen Zhiyi, Song Yuxiu kept his voice down.

Xiao Zhongxuan smiled slightly, then suddenly twisted his wrist forcefully!

His arm was twisted behind his back.

Song Yuxiu was forced to turn around, his back to him, while his hands were already tied behind his back by Xiao Zhongxuan.

"You fucking..."

He was in so much pain that he managed to utter a curse.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhongxuan behind him suddenly loosened his grip, the force restraining his arm disappeared. He had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around to punch him when...

The next second,

Xiao Zhongxuan actually lifted his foot!

Aim for his butt and kick him.

Caught off guard, Song Yuxiu fell directly to the ground.

"A dog gnawed on the ground!"

His face slammed into the ground, and the pain instantly contorted his features, making him see stars. He was stunned by the sudden kick, and as soon as he came to his senses, he saw that the "wild man" had kicked over the food box that he had placed to the side.

"This kind of garbage doesn't even deserve to be eaten by her!"

"Even the dog won't eat it!"

That look in his eyes was one of disdain and contempt.

Full of disgust!

"You deceived her, cheated on her, and were entangled with other women before marriage. How dare you, a scoundrel like you, pretend to be affectionate and beg for forgiveness? Aren't you shameless?!"

His demeanor was even somewhat arrogant and unruly.

They completely disregarded him.

She looked down at him with disdain.

Looking down from his vantage point, his gaze was as if he were looking down upon insignificant ants.

The sudden flash of coldness in his eyes startled Song Yuxiu, causing him to gasp for breath.

Who exactly is this person?!

Song Yuxiu had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He jumped up from the ground and dusted himself off.

"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

...

Inside the house, Shen Zhiyi heard the commotion outside and, without bothering to wash or dress up, hurriedly put on her clothes and went out.

All I saw was Song Yuxiu rushing towards Xiao Zhongxuan!

Grab his clothes,

I punched him in the face.

Recalling the provocative words someone had just spoken, and how he had even kicked over the pastries he had made, his attitude was simply arrogant.

then,

Another punch.

"Song Yuxiu!" Shen Zhiyi shouted angrily, "What are you doing!"

Song Yuxiu was startled and instinctively released his grip. The man who had just been so provocative, arrogant, and capable of catching his fist with his bare hands, was now floating lightly—

He fell to the ground!

With a muffled groan and a pained expression, he cried out, "Young Master Song, why...why did you hit me?"

His expression was exceptionally innocent.

The dramatic shift in his expression completely stunned Song Yuxiu.

What is this bastard pretending to be?

He had never seen anything like this before. Seeing Shen Zhiyi's unpleasant expression, he rushed to Xiao Zhongxuan and pulled him up from the ground. "What the hell are you pretending for? I only punched you twice."

I just kicked him so hard he fell face-first to the ground; he was strong enough to catch my punch with his bare hands.

Stop pretending to be weak!

Don't you know why I hit you?
