If it weren't for his terrible idea, Little Star wouldn't have been tied to the Pei family.

Even if she wants to have it cut, there's no good solution she can find for the time being.

"If you're unhappy, you don't have to come to me. I didn't ask you for anything."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochuan couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head helplessly, and was about to speak when a maid rushed over. Seeing Ye Ningwan and Li Mochuan sitting on the sofa, she immediately shrank back and hesitated to go forward.

When Ye Ningwan saw the maid, she immediately looked like she had seen a savior and asked.

"What's up?"

This is Pei Fengzhi's place after all. If we let Li Mochuan talk nonsense, who knows what kind of outrageous things he might say.

The maid hesitated, glancing at Li Mochuan, unsure whether to change her mind about saying those things in front of him.

Ye Ningwan urged.

"Speak your mind."

The maid then spoke cautiously.

"Miss Ye suffered heatstroke at the entrance just now, but she still refuses to leave. She is kneeling at the entrance, crying and begging you to come out and see her."

Ye Ningwan scoffed.

"Does she think this will work? It's just a self-inflicted injury ruse."

The servants were in an even more difficult position.

"But she's making such a scene..."

Ye Ningwan said indifferently.

“We are the only family within a ten-kilometer radius here. She can make a scene as much as she wants, but it won’t bother anyone else.”

It was Li Mochuan who suddenly spoke.

"Why do you hate your sister so much?"

Ye Ningwan turned her head, narrowed her cat-like eyes, and looked coldly at Li Mochuan while resting her chin on her hand.

After a long pause, she finally asked.

"Mr. Li, it's rare for you to meddle in other people's business. What, are you and Ye Ruoxin very familiar?"

With each word Ye Ningwan spoke, her tone grew colder than before.

The temperature in the entire living room instantly dropped to freezing.

Li Mochuan raised his head and met Ye Ningwan's gaze.
