On the other hand, after several days of busy work, Qin Shisheng finally finished handling the matters related to his uncle's passing.

Exhausted, he rushed to Zhou Li's luxurious villa by the sea.

When Zhou Li saw Qin Shisheng's figure appear at the door, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

She called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Qin~" Her voice was full of affection.

She struggled to her feet from the sofa and staggered toward Qin Shisheng, seemingly wanting to throw herself into his arms.

However, she was met with a cold and authoritative remark: "Stay away from me."

His words made Zhou Li tremble and freeze in place.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with terror and helplessness; for a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.

"I remember you've always been a well-behaved and sensible girl! How could you do something so foolish?" Qin Shisheng's tone grew increasingly cold.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li hurriedly defended herself, saying, "She attacked me first, Brother Qin! And I was in a car accident recently, almost losing my life! She leaked my information, which ruined my reputation!"

She must have found out about your divorce and was thinking of taking my place!

As she spoke, she squeezed out a few more tears, trying to win Qin Shisheng's sympathy with her weak and pitiful appearance.

Qin Shisheng turned to look at Lin Zhibai, who had a cold expression on his face.

He spoke in an icy tone: "According to my investigation, the car accident was an accident. Miss Yao was with you at the time and did not leave the Qin family. It's impossible for her to do such a thing! As for the information, it was only after Miss Yao was frightened by those people that it was leaked out."

Qin Shisheng snorted coldly and roared angrily, "It was clearly you who arranged for people to deliberately harass her in the pool! You got into a car accident yourself, so you're just making false accusations against others?"

"Even if she did it, you have no right to deal with my woman!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

She stammered, "I...I...that's not how it is!"

But her obvious lack of confidence had already betrayed her.

“Zhou Li, since I have the ability to help you rise to a high position, I can also easily plunge you into an abyss of no return! One should know how to be content with what one has, so why are you so stubborn?” Qin Shisheng stared sharply at Zhou Li, each word like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

Faced with Qin Shisheng's rebuke, Zhou Li could no longer pretend to be calm.

She burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "I know I was wrong, Brother Qin, please give me another chance!"

"Wrong? No one can touch my woman, Qin Shisheng's woman. That's the rule I set!" His face was as cold as frost, and his words came out from his thin lips without any emotion.

"Brother Qin, I am your woman too, no... don't abandon me!" she cried out hoarsely, struggling to crawl toward Qin Shisheng.

However, two tall and imposing bodyguards blocked her way, preventing her from getting any closer to the dignified man.

He waved, and several bodyguards stepped forward and slapped her several times. One of the bodyguards then picked up a knife and slashed her face repeatedly, leaving it bloody and mangled; her delicate features were ruined.

The villa was filled with Zhou Li's pitiful screams.

Qin Shisheng turned his head slowly without changing his expression, his gaze falling on Lin Zhibai behind him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "The person she hired hurt you! Deal with her yourself! I don't want to see her again."

After saying that, Qin Shisheng stood up without hesitation and strode away from the villa without looking back.

"No~ Brother Qin~ Don't do this to me." Zhou Li's desperate cries rang out behind him, extremely shrill and tragic.

But Qin Shisheng seemed not to hear and walked straight out the door.

Reaching the end of the corridor, Qin Shisheng took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. Amidst the swirling smoke, Yao Qian's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

I wonder if the little fairy was scared~

Thinking of her, Qin Shisheng's lips unconsciously curved upwards, forming a gentle smile.

Thinking of her exquisitely beautiful face, like a finely sculpted work of art, and her graceful and captivating figure, every curve was just right, exuding endless charm.

Thinking about these things, his heart remained unsettled for a long time.

I lay lazily on the soft bed in my bedroom, idly fiddling with my phone.

A series of steady, powerful footsteps reached my ears, clearly audible.

I turned around and saw a tall and imposing figure appear at the doorway.

It was Qin Shisheng. His handsome face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes still shone with joy.

"You're back?"

He didn't answer me immediately, but strode forward and opened his arms to hug me tightly.

Let me feel his warm embrace.

Then, he lowered his head and gently kissed my lips.

"Little fairy, have you missed me?" His deep and magnetic voice rang in my ears.

"I've been thinking about it," I said somewhat perfunctorily.

He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Did I scare you that day?"

The warm breath exhaled onto my skin, bringing a ticklish sensation.

"I'm fine!" I forced a smile, trying to appear nonchalant.

However, only I know that some fear still lingers deep inside.
