A hint of resentment gradually rose in her eyes, and Ye Qianning gave a cold laugh.

"I devoted my entire youth to loving him, how can I just let some wild girl win him over like this?"

Jiang Nan frowned and said earnestly, "You know the Duke's temperament. It's best not to provoke his people. I've known him for so long, and I've never seen him care about anything. This Bai Qianmo is very different in the Duke's heart."

"Qian Ning, listen to my advice. If a woman has been good to a man for many years and still doesn't get a response, she should choose to let go. It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't want to respond at all. To put it bluntly, he has no interest in you at all."

Ye Qianning gave a slight twitch of her lips, a chill running through her heart.

"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for Bai Qianmo in person. That would be the most foolish thing to do."

Jiangnan looked at Ye Qianning intently, hoping that she would listen to what he had said.

In the stillness of the night, the bright moon disappeared into the soft, fluffy clouds, casting a hazy, enigmatic glow.

While Qin Jingwen was in a daze, she sensed footsteps moving around the room.

She could feel the footsteps sometimes approaching her, and sometimes going around to other places.

It seemed the other person was constantly pacing around her bed, a strange and sharp gaze observing her at all times.

Qin Jingwen tried desperately to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt so heavy, as if they had been sewn shut, and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

Suddenly, a pair of cold hands gripped her throat, and a strong feeling of suffocation washed over her.

Perhaps it was this external force that forced her consciousness to return quickly.

Qin Jingwen suddenly opened her eyes and saw a dark figure with an unseen face in front of her, tightly gripping her neck with his strong hands.

"Mmm..."

Qin Jingwen tried to call for help, but only a whimper, like the mournful cry of an animal, came out of her throat.

The dark figure in front of her gradually became blurry, and she felt herself teetering on the edge of suffocation.

Until a white light flashed before my eyes, many previously blurry memories, even fragments of my childhood, flew by clearly before my eyes.

She clearly saw her beloved father smiling and waving at her...

"Clang!"

A loud bang followed, and Qin Jingwen felt a sudden loosening of her neck, followed by a jolt of consciousness that instantly returned.

My throat felt like it was on fire, and I started coughing violently.

Through her blurred vision, she saw the ghost fighting with a man in black.

Clanging and banging noises could be heard from the room from time to time.

The spirit and the man in black fought for a while, all the way from the bedroom to the living room.

The man in black's moves were ruthless and vicious. Yin Ling, who was always arrogant, gradually felt the strain after exchanging dozens of blows with the man in black.

She cursed inwardly, thinking, "Gu Jueye isn't asking for my help, he's practically trying to kill me!"

The thought of myself vacationing in Hawaii, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking fine wine, and flirting with handsome men on the beach in a bikini makes me want to vomit blood.

"Bang!"

The man in black unleashed a palm strike, sending the evil spirit flying several meters away.
