The man didn't make a move. He glanced indifferently at Zhao Xinran, then turned his gaze to Ye Huanhuan and slowly said:
"Miss Ye's trick of sowing discord is really clever. She managed to make Miss Zhao run around in circles. I was originally looking forward to seeing what it was like to be pregnant. Now it seems that it won't be so easy."
The man's teasing tone carried a hint of regret, which made Ye Huanhuan shiver involuntarily.
This man... is far more dangerous than you think!
Zhao Xinran opened her eyes and roared angrily at the man in front of her, "Qin Xiao, what are you still talking nonsense for? Hurry up and do it! Can't you see my sister is in her hands?"
Qin Xiao?
Could it be someone from the Qin family in the capital?
Ye Huanhuan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the man again.
No wonder she found this man rather strange. The Zhao sisters' attitude towards him was more like that of business partners than subordinates.
Qin Xiao's lips curled into a half-smile as he said, "Miss Zhao, are you sure you want me to lay a hand on you? You know me, I don't act rashly, and when I do, it's bloodshed. I'm afraid..."
He raised his hand and forcefully gripped Zhao Xinran's chin, continuing, "Your fair little face can't take it."
Zhao Xinran's expression changed, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and reminded Qin Xiao:
"Qin Xiao, don't forget, I'm on your side!"
Qin Xiao scoffed, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but Miss Zhao, since you know we're in cahoots, why did you still ask me to attack you? Isn't that a bit too stupid of you?"
After saying that, he released his hand from Zhao Xinran's chin.
Zhao Xinran naturally knew that Ye Huanhuan was teasing her, but for Zhao Xinyan's safety, she had no choice but to compromise.
She said in despair, "What can I do? Xinyan's life is in her hands now!"
Qin Xiao said calmly, "Don't worry, she won't kill your sister so easily."
Ye Huanhuan was a little confused as to where Qin Xiao got the confidence to believe that she wouldn't lay a hand on Zhao Xinyan.
She raised an eyebrow and sneered, "How do you know I can't?"
"If you kill her, you won't live either."
Qin Xiao looked at Ye Huanhuan with a confident expression, as if everything was under his control.
“You’re right, if I kill her, I certainly won’t survive, but…”
Ye Huanhuan slowly moved the utility knife towards Zhao Xinyan's cheek. "What if I disfigure her? Wouldn't that be more interesting than killing her?"
"Miss Ye, I believe you wouldn't dare."
Ye Huanhuan smiled and lightly grazed Zhao Xinyan's face with the tip of the knife, leaving a thin bloodstain.
"You've all pushed me to this point, what else wouldn't I dare to do?"
Seeing this, Zhao Xinran was so anxious that tears were about to come out. "Ye Huanhuan, I beg you, please let my sister go! If you have any problems, come at me!"
A strange light flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes; he hadn't expected Ye Huanhuan to be so ruthless. He asked:
"Miss Ye, aren't you afraid that if you push us too far, we'll fight to the death?"
"A fight to the death?"
Ye Huanhuan said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter. If I could drag such a young and beautiful prodigy down with me before the internet collapses, then it would be worth it."
Looking at Ye Huanhuan, Qin Xiao felt a strong desire to conquer her surge within him.
This woman is so interesting!
This was the first time he had ever met a woman so fearless, with such a unique personality, like a deadly poppy, deeply attracting him.
He couldn't help but think how exciting it would be to snatch such a special woman away from the man she loved and make her his own.
He even started to lose control and wanted to possess her immediately.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao flashed and appeared beside Ye Huanhuan as quickly as a ghost.
He moved with lightning speed, grabbing Ye Huanhuan's wrist tightly and easily snatching the utility knife from her hand. Then, with a sudden pull, he drew Ye Huanhuan into his arms.
Ye Huanhuan stared in astonishment, completely unprepared for the seemingly ordinary man to possess such formidable skills.
No wonder she always felt that Qin Xiao was dangerous; it turns out he was a martial arts expert!
This reversal was so fast that even Zhao Xinran was somewhat taken aback.
"Let me go!"
Ye Huanhuan struggled desperately in Qin Xiao's arms, but no matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail.
Qin Xiao used only one hand to firmly hold her in place; the difference in strength left her with no ability to resist.
Zhao Xinran reacted immediately. She first went to Zhao Xinyan's side, checked her over to see if she was injured, and after confirming that she was alright, she immediately regained her smug expression and said to Ye Huanhuan:
"Ye Huanhuan, you wouldn't believe it, would you? The person I invited today is no ordinary person!"
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Xiao and said reproachfully, "Qin Xiao, why didn't you tell me you had this trick up your sleeve? You made me worry for nothing, and I almost got played by this jerk!"
Qin Xiao did not answer Zhao Xinran's question, but instead said casually:
"Miss Zhao, now that you two sisters have finished disciplining her, according to the agreement, she is mine now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinran immediately gave a knowing smile, but a hint of malice flashed in her eyes as she warned Qin Xiao:
