Ye Ruoxin was taken aback.

She took two steps back in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes, and murmured in a hoarse voice.

"Pei Minghan, how could you do this to me! I've been with you for so many years, how could you abandon me..."

She grabbed Pei Minghan's arm with her other hand, her sharp nails almost digging into his flesh.

Pei Minghan winced in pain, forcefully shaking off Ye Ruoxin's hand, clutching his arm which was covered in bloody scratches, and glaring fiercely at Ye Ruoxin.

"Ye Ruoxin, that's enough!"

Ye Ruoxin was startled when she saw the scars on Pei Minghan's arm.

Pei Minghan is now the most sought-after heir of the Pei family. If Madam Pei knew that Pei Minghan had injured herself, she would definitely skin her alive.

Ye Ruoxin immediately softened her tone, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

"Minghan, I didn't mean to..."

She tried to go forward, but Pei Minghan pushed her away with disgust.

"Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

But how could Ye Ruoxin possibly leave? She still wanted to be the eldest young mistress of the Pei family, a position of power above all others!

The two remained entangled at the entrance of the Ye family's main residence.

Ye Ningwan silently stepped aside, coldly watching the familiar scene unfold.

Once upon a time, Pei Minghan treated her the same way, the only difference being that she hadn't done anything back then and was wrongly accused by Ye Ruoxin.

And now, Ye Ruoxin probably understands that feeling too.

However, it's still a long way off... This is just the beginning...

"Wanwan, are you alright?"

Everything that just happened occurred in a few minutes. By the time Tang Ruanruan finally caught up anxiously, Ye Ruoxin and Pei Minghan's struggle was almost over.

She looked Ye Ningwan up and down, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, she hugged Ye Ningwan tightly and said in a tearful voice.

"Wanwan, you scared me to death. It's all my fault. I was so startled that I didn't react in time. If I had..."

Ye Ningwan patted Tang Ruanruan, looking at her like that, she really didn't know what to say, so she could only gently pat Tang Ruanruan's head.

Tang Ruanruan hugged Ye Ningwan and tried to rub her head against Ye Ningwan's palm.

"Waaah... Wanwan..."

Ye Ningwan was helpless, but fortunately the car she called arrived quickly.

The driver got out of the car and carried the suitcase to the back of the vehicle, remaining polite throughout the entire journey.

Ye Ningwan pushed Tang Ruanruan into the back seat and was about to get in the car with her when she heard a woman's shrill scream from not far away.

"Ye Ningwan, you stop right there!"

Ye Ningwan turned her head and saw Li Sao, who had just been lying at the bottom of the stairs, stumbling out covered in blood.

She covered her head, which had a hole in it, with one hand, and twisted the other hand in a bizarre way as she limped toward Ye Ningwan, looking just like a terrifying zombie.

Tang Ruanruan gripped Ye Ningwan's arm with some fear.

"Wanwan! She..."

Ye Ningwan gently patted Tang Ruanruan's shoulder to comfort her.

"fine."

He then handed a room key to Tang Ruanruan and gave her instructions.

"Go to the executive suite on the 17th floor of the international hotel and help me take care of the two children. Here is the room key. I'll come find you as soon as I've settled things here."

Tang Ruanruan still looked at Ye Ningwan with a worried expression.

"But……"

But no matter what I said, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

She glanced at Aunt Li, who was walking aggressively towards her, bit her lower lip, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll go first."

She can't stay here any longer.

She couldn't help Wanwan at all; in fact, she would only hold her back. She couldn't cause Wanwan any more trouble.

After saying that, Tang Ruanruan squeezed Ye Ningwan's hand, then quickly let go.

Bang!

The car door was closed, and the car drove away.

Ye Ningwan finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Aunt Li, and suddenly screamed. She then hid behind Pei Minghan and said pitifully.

"Ah! She's covered in blood, it's terrifying!"

Aunt Li was stunned.

"..."

She stared at Ye Ningwan in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that this was the same fierce and menacing figure who had been about to devour her.

Pei Minghan instinctively stretched out his arm to block, effectively protecting Ye Ningwan behind him.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ruoxin's face immediately darkened, and she screamed as she lunged forward to pull Ye Ningwan away.

"Ye Ningwan, what are you doing? That's my fiancé! You're already married! Stop seducing my husband! You shameless slut!"

Ye Ningwan immediately put on a pitiful and aggrieved expression, choked up, covered her face, and looked like she was about to cry.

"No, I didn't! Minghan and I are completely innocent! Xinxin, you've really misunderstood!"

Sure enough, Ye Ruoxin's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she wanted to devour Ye Ningwan.

"you……"

Before she could utter a single word, Ye Ningwan had already shrunk behind Pei Minghan, sobbing softly.

"You're so mean, Minghan! I'm scared!"

Her voice was sweet and delicate, almost as if you could squeeze water out of it. When she turned her head to the side, she revealed a stunningly beautiful profile. She was breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup.

Pei Minghan was taken aback, momentarily lost in thought.

He was about to say something when Ye Ruoxin raised her hand to slap Ye Ningwan across the face.

"Ye Ningwan, you bitch!"

The next second, Pei Minghan gripped her wrist tightly.

Ye Ruoxin struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She raised her head and glared angrily at Pei Minghan, only to meet Pei Minghan's gloomy and cold gaze.

“Minghan…”

At this moment, Pei Minghan stood in front of Ye Ruoxin like a valiant knight, protecting Ye Ningwan tightly behind him.

"Ye Ruoxin! Don't go too far! Are you saying you don't trust me?"

Ye Ruoxin looked sorrowful, her eyes filled with tears, and she cried out in a choked voice.

"How can I trust you? I'm clearly your fiancée, yet you're protecting her behind your back!"

Pei Minghan said to Ye Ruoxin in a very reasonable and matter-of-fact manner.

"Wanwan is my ninth aunt now, and you actually suspect there's something between us! Besides, I'm only protecting her because you wanted to hit her!"

Ye Ruoxin was almost furious.

Her face, which was not particularly pretty to begin with, was contorted, losing its usual gentle and reserved demeanor, and now appeared even more crazed and disheveled.

Ye Ruoxin, her eyes bloodshot, was about to say something when Aunt Li, sensing the danger, grabbed her arm.

"Young Miss!"

Ye Ruoxin struggled.

"Let go of me! Aunt Li, are you going to stop me now?"

Aunt Li didn't explain, but quickly said to Pei Minghan.

"Young Master Pei, my young lady didn't do it on purpose. She was just worried about me! After all, I got hurt like this because of Ye Ningwan!"

Pei Minghan looked shocked.
