Ming Xiaoxiao learned from Ming Su that the Ming family had mistaken her for Xie Li, which was why they had been so kind and gentle to her.

Upon discovering that she was an imposter and had no further use, Ming Chengjun decisively kicked her away.

She's living such a miserable life now, all because of Xie Li!

Xie Li remained silent for a moment. She never wasted her breath trying to persuade others. Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain, and unless she herself becomes aware of it, no one can move it.

"You can still leave now," Xie Li reminded him one last time.

Ming Xiaoxiao stared intently at her face, then suddenly said, "You're probably too late to leave. Are you feeling dizzy and lightheaded now? Haha, didn't expect that, did you? The juice you drank was spiked!"

Xie Li suddenly understood the saying, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."

Suddenly, a man emerged from the previously silent room, his eyes gleaming with ill intent.

"Xie Li, don't worry, I will make you happy..." He already regarded Xie Li as his own, and reached out to pull him into his arms.

Xie Li turned her head and said, "You've ruined that male waiter's life."

Without even looking, he reached out and accurately grabbed Xie Zhendong's hand, then twisted it hard with a backhand.

The screams of agony echoed throughout the room.

Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open, and Luo Zhihan and Xie Zian stood outside with their men. Beside them were the male waiter who had been detained by the police and the juice glass that had been taken as evidence.

Ming Xiaoxiao's head buzzed; she knew she was doomed.

As Xie Zhendong and Ming Xiaoxiao were taken away by the police, Xie Li touched her cheek. The effects of the drug were starting to kick in, and she felt her face burning hot.

"Knowing there was something wrong, why did you still drink that juice?" Luo Zhihan pulled her to the sink and carefully used an ice towel to cool her down.

Xie Li shook his head. "It's nothing. I can neutralize this toxin in no time. I just blushed a little. It's nothing."

This prescription was obviously modified. Xie Li had never studied this before, and he never expected that his cheeks would feel hot after being detoxified.

"Lili." Luo Zhihan suddenly cupped her face in his hands, his fingertips pale and slightly cold, his eyes filled with restrained deep affection as he looked at Xie Li. "But I care, do you understand?"

Xie Li stared at his eyes, which were as black as ink, for a moment, and felt that the aftereffects were quite severe; she even started to feel dizzy.

"Then I'll be more careful next time?" She awkwardly avoided eye contact, tilting her head to think for a moment.

However, the next second, a light and restrained kiss was placed on his forehead.

Xie Li covered her forehead in surprise and stared at Luo Zhihan: "I...you..."

Luo Zhihan gazed at her tenderly, "Do you remember when I said I had a marriage contract? That person is you. You are Uncle Shen's adopted daughter, the only girl in the Xu family this generation. If this marriage contract doesn't fall on you, who else would it fall on?"

Xie Li was dumbfounded.

She paused for a moment, then said, "No, how many marriage contracts do I actually have?"

All I want is to study hard and improve every day, why is that so difficult?

Luo Zhihan's voice was somewhat low, as if she were sad or disappointed, "Are you unhappy?"

"No, no, no, I'm not upset." Xie Li quickly shook her head in denial, a hint of confusion in her clear eyes. "I even think that this feudal dregs might not be so bad?"

Luo Zhihan chuckled and grabbed her hand.

Her long, slender fingers were warm and firm: "If the person I'm engaged to is you, I think it would be wonderful."

So his willingness to give up revenge and keep the Luo family members around was simply out of a desire for worldly warmth.
