This time, at his own request, he resolutely chose to go to China.
I just don't know if things will go smoothly for him...
The two had a brief chat every night, mostly with Baron reporting on his progress in China, but yesterday, for some reason, Baron didn't send any messages.
Xia Yuxin tried calling him, but his phone was switched off.
This unusual behavior made Xia Yuxin a little worried.
"Baron went to China because of my brother. If we lose contact with him... is my brother in danger?"
Xia Yuxin's heart jumped.
Poor Baron was instantly forgotten by her. Xia Yuxin didn't even consider that if Xia Che got into trouble, Baron, who was going to find Xia Che, might also be caught in danger.
"Please make sure nothing happens..."
Xia Yuxin bit her little finger, her eyebrows furrowed.
This is a little gesture she only makes when she's nervous.
It's all Baron's fault...
They described my brother's situation in China as so terrifying that it made me worry every day, fearing that those horrible assassins would target him.
That's the Assassin's Guild!
An organization whose very name is terrifying...
Can this skinny guy manage all by himself?
Xia Yuxin became even more worried.
She had begged the Xia family countless times, hoping they would bring Xia Che back, but the result was always the same: no...
They didn't want their brother to come back.
Such a large family, yet it can't even accommodate its own brother?
What's even more outrageous is that after the elders found out that they had secretly bought a ticket for Xia Che to come to New York, they scolded them severely. But when they learned that Xia Che hadn't used the ticket to come to New York, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But the price was that Xia Yuxin was confined to her home for three months.
During these three months, Xia Yuxin's activity range was limited to a radius of three kilometers outside the Xia family home.
Before this incident, Xia Yuxin always felt that her family was quite humane, and she genuinely loved her family.
But now...
Xia Yuxin no longer thinks about anything related to the Xia family; in her eyes, these people are terrifyingly cold-blooded.
"My brother didn't do anything wrong... Why can't everyone accept him? Why does everyone avoid him like the plague? He's just a shut-in who only watches anime at home, why are they bullying him like this? What did he do wrong?"
Xia Yuxin sighed softly. The adult world is so complicated. Even though she was old enough, she still couldn't understand why the adult world was so complicated.
She just wanted her brother to live.
Unexpectedly, her own people turned out to be untrustworthy, and Xia Yuxin's only hope now turned out to be a foreigner.
This kind of thing...
That's a bit too absurd.
"Ring ring—"
Xia Yuxin had been sitting on her windowsill all morning, and she even planned to continue sitting there. She wouldn't leave until Baron returned with news.
Since she's under house arrest now, Xia Yuxin can't go anywhere and there's nothing else bothering her, which is actually quite convenient.
Just as she was about to continue watching, her phone suddenly rang.
Xia Yuxin quickly picked up her phone, thinking it was Baron calling, and then she saw the three big characters "Tang Yanyan" appear on the screen.
"Hmm...why is it this woman?"
Xia Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows furrowed and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned down.
Tang Yanyan...
The playmates I had with them when I was a child.
and……
She is still the betrothed by the Tang and Xia families.
This woman is an absolute enemy!
Although Tang Yanyan has grown up and looks nothing like the chubby girl she was as a child, and has become a great beauty, making her one of the most successful weight loss cases, Xia Yuxin still doesn't like her very much.
After learning that Tang Yanyan and Xia Che were engaged, Xia Yuxin immediately blocked her. Anyway, the two had no relationship since they grew up, and she thought she would never see her again in this life. But unexpectedly, she received a call from her today.
"When did you save this phone number... and forget to block it?"
Xia Yuxin muttered to herself as she blocked all of Tang Yanyan's social media accounts, seemingly forgetting to include her phone number.
After thinking it over, Xia Yuxin didn't want to answer, but the person's identity posed a great threat to her. After hesitating for a moment, adhering to the principle that understanding the enemy would allow her to defeat them better in the future, Xia Yuxin still answered the call.
"Go downstairs."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by two cold, sharp words.
"Why are you going downstairs... Aren't you in Sweden?"
Xia Yuxin looked away guiltily.
Surprisingly, after such a long time apart, the two women didn't exchange pleasantries at all after their first contact.
It's as if the two of them were having dinner together just yesterday.
His tone was very relaxed and composed.
"I've come to New York, and I'm in your living room right now."
Tang Yanyan paused, then continued, "I heard you've been grounded..."
"Yes! I'm locked in my room and can't leave for three months, so I'm sorry, you should go find someone else. I can't see you."
Xia Yuxin hurriedly spoke, interrupting Tang Yanyan. A few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, whether from guilt or some other reason.
She really didn't dare to see Tang Yanyan.
After all, the two had a good relationship when they were young and were considered good friends.
However, because of her engagement to Xia Che, she unilaterally blocked all of Tang Yanyan's contact information and has not contacted her since.
This kind of thing...
Xia Yuxin always felt like she was being betrayed.
If possible, Xia Yuxin would resolutely refuse to meet the other party.
There must be no contact whatsoever!
Otherwise, what if you hit yourself?
Xia Yuxin felt even more guilty.
"...Don't play dumb. Uncle Xia told me everything. Your confinement has a limited range of movement. Never mind...you don't need to come downstairs. Open the door, I'm already here."
When she heard the second half of the sentence, Xia Yuxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that this woman was no longer asking to meet her, but she didn't expect there to be a second half.
A bolt from the blue!
Xia Yuxin's mouth opened uncontrollably, and she turned around in horror. Just then, there was a gentle knock on her door.
It's actually true!
That wicked woman who's engaged to Xia Che, his greatest enemy...
They're right outside the door right now!
What should we do? What should we do?
Xia Yuxin jumped down from the windowsill and paced back and forth in the room, clutching her head.
Or should we just jump off from here?
It looks so tall...
Won't I fall and die?
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry... your engagement with your brother is already dead in all but name."
Outside the door, Tang Yanyan seemed to see through everything and said calmly.
