The snow at the "Genting" hot spring villa still silently covers the pine forest and eaves, temporarily burying all the filth and calculations under purity.
The independent and luxurious "Xuejian" suite is full of warmth. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are continuous snow-capped peaks, which sparkle coldly in the thin winter sunlight.
Ning Yunmeng was barefoot, stepping on the soft and thick wool carpet. Her off-white cashmere nightgown was tied loosely, outlining her slender waist.
Holding a cup of hot milk, she walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the magnificent yet lonely snow scene outside.
A few days ago, in that dark corner of the private cinema full of calculations, Qin Yuheng's predatory kiss and his fanatical oath seemed to still retain some warmth.
She succeeded. Qin Yuheng's sharp knife was already in her hand, tempered with fire, ready to be pointed at Ning Xiwan's throat.
A cold smile curved her lips, fleeting. Vulnerability? Dependence? That was merely the bait she had carefully woven to catch her prey.
Qin Yuheng's reaction was better than she expected. The feeling of being needed, relied on, and regarded as a savior obviously made the young master of the Qin family completely lost.
Next, he used his identity, his resources, and his hatred for Ning Xiwan to drag Ning Xiwan into the abyss step by step.
There was a slight knock on the door, with Qin Yuheng's usual, deliberately light rhythm.
Ning Yunmeng quickly put away the cold calculation in her eyes, replaced it with an expression of slight fatigue and shyness, and walked over to open the door.
Outside the door, Qin Yuheng was wearing a set of fine dark grey cashmere home clothes, which made him look tall and straight.
He did have a very good appearance. His skin was the cold white of pampered life, and his facial features were deep and delicate, especially his narrow, phoenix eyes, with slightly upturned corners, which should have given him a sense of romanticism.
But at this moment, it was filled with a gentle concern that seemed to bloom only for her, enough to melt the ice and snow. His smile was just right, not too eager to appear frivolous, but enough to make people feel cherished and warm.
"Yunmeng, did you sleep well?" His voice was low and pleasant, and his eyes fell on her face with undisguised admiration and pampering, as if she were a fragile rare treasure.
"You don't look well. I've asked someone to stew some bird's nest for you and will bring it over later."
Ning Yunmeng lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender neck. Her voice carried a hint of laziness and subtle shyness, as if she had just woken up: "...I'm fine. Brother Yuheng, you don't have to take care of me like this all the time. It's too much trouble for you."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Qin Yuheng walked in naturally, keeping a gentlemanly distance, but his eyes were always glued to her gently. "Seeing that you are in better spirits is more important than anything else."
He walked to the window and looked at the snow scene. His profile was clearly outlined under the light and shadow, and he was so handsome that it seemed unreal.
"What do you want to do later? There's a new Michelin three-star chef at the villa. Do you want to try out his cooking? Or... I'll have someone clear the snow path so we can go skiing for a while. I promise I won't let you fall this time."
He turned around and winked at her, his smile carrying a hint of boyish mischief that made her heart beat faster.
Ning Yunmeng sneered in her heart, but a blush appeared on her face. She glanced at him angrily: "...No, I don't want to. You scared me to death last time."
She hesitated for a moment, lowering her voice with a hint of cautious probing, "Brother Yuheng... what you said yesterday... was it true? About... making Ning Xiwan pay the price?"
She raised her eyes, her watery almond-shaped eyes filled with anticipation, anxiety, and a hint of fire ignited by hatred.
The smile on Qin Yuheng's face disappeared instantly, and the gentleness in his beautiful phoenix eyes faded away, replaced by a cold and resolute sharpness, like a cold blade drawn from its sheath.
He took a step forward and gently grasped Ning Yunmeng's slightly cold hand. His tone was firm and his aura was powerful and convincing: "Of course it's true! Yunmeng, I, Qin Yuheng, will never go back on my word! I remember everything she did for you!"
"I will make her pay you back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the pain and humiliation she inflicted on you!"
His fingers were long and strong, and his palms were warm, conveying strength and commitment. Ning Yunmeng felt this "firm" support, and the pride in her heart almost overflowed.
She held his hand tighter, as if she had grabbed the only life-saving straw, tears flashing in her eyes, her voice choked: "Brother Yuheng... I only have you... You must help me... I hate her... I hate her so much..."
"I know, I know everything." Qin Yuheng gently held her in his arms, his movements gentle and restrained, as if he was really protecting a treasure.
His chin rested against the top of her head, and his voice rang low in her ear, like the whispers between lovers, yet every word was venomous. "She not only harmed you, but also challenged my bottom line. Anyone who touches me, Qin Yuheng, must be prepared to bear the consequences."
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Soon, very soon, she'll know what it means to be irretrievably ruined. I'll bring her down to ruin, make her lose everything she has now, and make her crawl before you like a dog, begging for your forgiveness!"
His words were cruelly inciting, precisely stirring up the deepest hatred in Ning Yunmeng's heart.
She leaned in his arms, feeling his "solid" chest and "strong" heartbeat, and felt that the blueprint for revenge had never been so clear. Qin Yuheng's identity and the power of the Qin family were her greatest reliance!
"Brother Yuheng...you are so nice..." She said softly in his arms, her voice full of complete dependence and trust.
