Chen Liang opened his eyes and looked down at the woman in his arms who exuded a mature charm.
"You little devil, you're such a sweetheart, you know exactly what I'm thinking."
"Hehe, of course I know, because you are the man I love most."
The two locked eyes, each revealing a burning desire in their gaze.
Chen Liang impatiently pushed Xue Caiying down onto the bed.
Xue Caiying giggled.
"Let me put these earrings away first."
Chen Liang was taken aback: "You just said that these are not ordinary earrings. Are they some kind of priceless treasure?"
Xue Caiying looked at the man in front of her: "If you want to ruin Xu Jin'en and Yin Heng's marriage, these earrings are crucial."
Chen Liang looked intrigued: "Tell me about it."
"Hehe, these earrings have always been kept by Xu Jin'en. If they were in your hands now, what do you think people would think if word got out?"
Chen Liang immediately understood, gave a wicked smile, and lifted Xue Caiying's chin: "Sister Ying, if you were a man, with this kind of cunning and shrewdness, you would definitely be someone who accomplishes something earth-shattering."
Xue Caiying said with a charming smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've racked my brains to think of things for you."
Chen Liang chuckled softly. They were both intelligent people, and they both knew very well that being together was nothing more than using each other.
Chen Liang knew very well that Xue Caiying was doing this simply to pave the way for her daughter.
However, he didn't care. Marrying the eldest daughter of the Xu family would be a great honor for the family, and he was overjoyed.
The two quickly became entangled, drowning in a sea of passion.
The box containing the earrings accidentally rolled to the ground, but the two of them didn't have time to notice.
A mysterious figure flashed through the room like a gust of wind and then disappeared.

"Xu Jin'en!"
Xu Jinwei walked in from outside the gate and called out as soon as she entered the courtyard.
Xiao Huan, who was sitting outside the study door, immediately got up to greet her.
"Second Miss, it's almost dark. Why have you come at this hour?"
Where is Xu Jin'en?
"My young lady is in the study."
Xu Jinwei glanced at the study: "I'm going to find her."
"Second Miss..." Xiao Huan stood in front of Xu Jinwei, smiling apologetically.
"My young lady has given instructions that she is not seeing anyone now."
"No one's around? What mischief is she up to in the study?"
"No, no, my lady is just... a little tired, so she wants to be alone for a while."
"Heh, I think she's gotten quite capable. Get out of my way, I'm going to see her today."
"Second Miss, please don't make things difficult for Xiao Huan. Fourth Miss instructed that no one is allowed to step into the study without her permission."
Xu Jinwei looked suspicious: "Your young lady is definitely not in the study, right? Did she run out and get scared of me finding out?"
"No, my young lady is in the study."
"Then get out of my way, I need to see her urgently."
Xiao Huan shook her head firmly.
Xu Jinwei raised an eyebrow and smiled, then called to her maid, "Bi'er."
"Miss."
"Take Xiaohuan out for a while to cool off."
She was going to see what this girl was up to today.
"Sister Xiaohuan, let's go out." Bi'er grabbed Xiaohuan.
Xiao Huan struggled desperately, but Xu Jinwei had already gone straight to the study.
"Second Miss, you can't barge in without Miss's permission."
Xiao Huan burst into tears.
The young lady just earnestly instructed her to keep a close watch on the door.
Xu Jinwei wouldn't listen and forcefully pushed open the study door.
"May……"
Upon entering the study, Xu Jinwei was taken aback when she saw Bai Qianmo sitting properly at the desk.
Bai Qianmo lowered her head slightly, holding a book in her hands.
He slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at Xu Jinwei.
"Second sister, what brings you here?"
"What are you doing in the study?" Xu Jinwei looked around suspiciously.
The study is not large; one can see the entire room at a glance.
There seemed to be nothing suspicious about it.
“Of course I’m in the study to read,” Bai Qianmo said with a smile.
Xu Jinwei stared at Bai Qianmo for a while, and seeing that she looked calm and composed without any panic, her suspicions gradually dissipated.
"What's going on? You're trying to read a book and Xiao Huan is blocking you from the door. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're hiding a man in your study."
"Hehe, Second Sister is joking. This huge Xu mansion is full of people. I just arrived in Shanghai, how could I possibly have that kind of ability?"
"That's true, you wouldn't dare even if you had ten times the courage."
"Second sister, is there something you need that you came to my place so late?"
"I'll go with you tomorrow morning when you go to pay respects at your mother's grave."
Bai Qianmo was somewhat surprised: "Second Sister is going too?"
Xu Jinwei pouted: "Do you think I want to go? It's my mother who insists that I go and burn some paper money for your mother on her behalf."
Bai Qianmo immediately understood.
"Okay, I'll call you when I go tomorrow morning."
"By the way, my second uncle and aunt just came to see my mother. I heard from my second aunt that Xu Changchong seems to have gone directly to Beijing after returning to China, instead of coming to Shanghai."
Why go to Beiping?
"I don't know about that. Aren't you thinking about him? If you want to find him, I can help you."
Bai Qianmo knew what Xu Jinwei was planning: "If I can get in touch with his people, I will definitely ask my second sister for help."
Xu Jinwei didn't say much, and left after giving her instructions.
