At that moment, Xia Wan held her breath.
When Cui Ziqi said this, he was calm and his voice was normal, as if he did not believe Xia Zhizhi's words.
She tried to remain calm and continued what she was doing.
The moment the white flesh was sprayed with alcohol, its nerves reflexively twitched.
But Cui Ziqi seemed oblivious to the pain, her brows furrowed as if waiting for Xia Wan's words.
"So, do you believe her?"
Xia Wan asked the question aloud.
Cui Ziqi tilted her head slightly and asked calmly:
Do you think I would believe that?
Xia Wan thought it wouldn't happen.
If Cui Ziqi knew she was lying to him, he certainly wouldn't be as calm as he is now.
He would definitely go crazy and shoot her with his silver spear, or, given the current situation, throw her out to be eaten by wolves.
A relaxed smile appeared on her lips. "If you believed her, you wouldn't have come to save me."
Cui Ziqi didn't say anything.
He didn't actually care who his childhood savior was.
Or even if Xia Zhizhi was the one who saved his life, he wouldn't treat that favor with any extra emotion.
All he wants now is Xia Wan.
He wanted Xia Wan to stay here forever.
Stay with him!
Xia Wan assumed that Cui Ziqi had tacitly agreed, and smoothly changed the subject.
"Then why have you been avoiding me all this time? Not answering my calls or replying to my messages, leaving me sick at home?"
When this was mentioned, Cui Ziqi felt a little guilty.
"I have something to do."
"What's up? A date with Xia Zhizhi?"
"Xia Wan!"
Cui Ziqi was furious and embarrassed.
Xia Wan pouted, "You'd rather hide in the Cui family and fight those wolves every day than come home and be with me. And outside the Cui family, you actually ate with Xia Zhizhi and even cut steak for her! Do you think you're so amazing?"
The bitterness in my heart is overflowing again.
Xia Wan was still angry, so she applied the medicine a little more forcefully.
Cui Ziqi gasped and dodged Xia Wan's clutches.
He turned to look at her, but there was no anger in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of interest.
Are you jealous?
"So what if you're jealous? Don't forget that I'm your girlfriend now! If you dare to see Xia Zhizhi again, I'll go back to Zheng Minghuai!"
She was just saying it in anger.
Cui Ziqi took it seriously, her face turning incredibly gloomy.
It was even more gloomy than the dark clouds that came in from outside.
"You dare!"
"Try it if you don't believe me!"
Xia Wan became unusually stubborn, meeting Cui Ziqi's gloomy gaze without the slightest fear.
In the end, it was Cui Ziqi who was defeated first.
"I will never see Xia Zhizhi again."
Xia Wan was satisfied and turned Cui Ziqi around to continue applying the medicine.
After the medicine was applied, the wolves had almost finished eating their meat.
Xia Wan pulled Cui Ziqi to go down the mountain.
The two walked down the mountain hand in hand, as if they had returned to their previous inseparable state.
Cui Ziqi looked at the bronze lion that Xia Wan was playing with in her hand and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"Did you take this from Cui Jiyang's study as well?"
Xia Wan nodded and presented the bronze lion to him as if it were a treasure.
"Cui Nan said this bronze lion is worth ten million! My trip to the Cui family was worthwhile!"
"miser."
Cui Ziqi commented with two words.
Xia Wan didn't take it to heart. "Money can take you anywhere. You have money, but I don't."
Didn't I give you the money?
“This is different.” Xia Wan tossed the bronze lion in her hand. “This is money I earned myself, so it has a different meaning.”
Cui Ziqi was speechless.
How can you call it a profit if the bronze lion was clearly stolen?
However, he still didn't know Xia Wan's purpose in coming here.
His intuition told him that Xia Wan hadn't come to the Cui family to see him, but rather had something else to discuss.
He planned to ask her about it when he got back.
We had just exited the only gate leading to the back of the mountain.
The two then saw Cui Nan and Cui Ying standing at the door.
They were followed by a large number of bodyguards, seemingly very wary of Cui Ziqi.
Cui Ying gritted her teeth and glared at Cui Ziqi and Xia Wan.
But she seemed to be afraid of Cui Ziqi, never daring to look him in the eye, instead fixing her vicious gaze on Xia Wan.
Cui Ziqi took Xia Wan's hand and pulled her closer to him.
He was just about to settle accounts with those two!
Xia Wan spoke before he could, "Is there something you need? It's about to rain, so we should head back. Or would you like to invite us to stay for dinner?"
Cui Nan never expected Xia Wan to come back alive.
She originally instructed Cui Ying to lock Cui Ziqi in the room.
Unexpectedly, Cui Ziqi went mad and used tools to smash open the iron cage and escape, running to the back mountain to rescue Xia Wan.
Xia Wan is really lucky!
Cui Ying was still angry with Xia Wan, and she glared at Xia Wan.
"Do you think the Cui family is a place you can come and go as you please? If you want to leave, you can leave sideways!"
Xia Wan laughed out loud: "Are you a bandit? Why are you walking around like that? What's with all this bloody talk from a delicate little girl like you?"
"you!"
Cui Ying drew her whip and charged at Xia Wan, but was stopped by Cui Nan.
Cui Nan smiled gently at Xia Wan, as if nothing had happened.
"Judging from the sky, it looks like it's going to rain heavily. Ziqi hasn't been home often lately, so why don't you stay here tonight?"
"Alright, since Auntie has extended such a warm invitation, we will gladly accept."
Cui Ziqi, who was about to refuse: ...
He looked at Xia Wan with confusion, not understanding her actions.
