Palend lay on the ground, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Cosimo with resentment.
He didn't understand why he had failed.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never beaten Cosimo and always lived in his shadow.
He was clearly five years older than Cosimo.
He is clearly the rightful heir.
But everyone, including his deceased father, placed their hopes on Cosimo.
"Just one step away..."
Palend coughed up a mouthful of blood, his right hand gripping the ground weakly.
If he were just a fraction of a second faster than Cosimo, he could have killed him outright...
Cosimo looked down at Palendra, his sharp, hawk-like eyes devoid of any warmth.
"This is what happens to those who mess with me."
Cosimo stepped on Palend's wrist.
Palend let out a piercing scream, but amidst the excruciating pain, he laughed maniacally.
"You think... this is the end? Fu Yu, she is your weakness, and you are her calamity. As long as she is by your side, she will not be safe."
Cosimo's eyes suddenly turned sinister.
"Don't worry, I'll send all those people down to keep you company."
When the gunshot rang out, the last thing Palend saw was the wedding ring gleaming coldly on Cosimo's finger.
If it were the Palend from his previous life, he shouldn't have died in this timeline.
Qin Xue's fingers, which were swiping the phone screen, suddenly froze.
The latest photos pushed out on x.
Palend lay in a pool of blood, while in the distance, the blurry figure was Cosimo holding Fu Yu tightly in his arms.
Snap!
The glass fell to the ground, spilling coffee everywhere.
In her past life, she had also been held hostage by Palendra, who threatened Cosimo with her life to force him to submit.
At that time, Qin Xue had no feelings for Cosimo at all, so she promised to become Palend's undercover agent and beg him to spare her life.
Palend did indeed let her go, and Qin Xue, as agreed, lured Cosimo to Palend's territory.
But unexpectedly, this idiot couldn't even hit a person properly. Instead of killing Cosimo, he knocked Qin Xue's car off a cliff, which led to her rebirth.
Seeing the photo of Fu Yu and Cosimo embracing from behind, Qin Xue felt a sudden pang of sadness.
My whole heart felt like it was soaking in lemonade.
Why should Fu Yu be the one to receive the money?
Qin Xue would rather Cosimo choose those alluring women who seduced him in his past life than accept Fu Yu becoming the person who takes her place by Cosimo's side in this life.
What exactly makes Fu Yu comparable to her?
Suddenly, the overhead light went out, and in the darkness, only the creaking sound of the bedroom door could be heard outside.
This is exactly the same scene as before I was kidnapped in my previous life!
"who?"
She trembled as she reached for the pepper spray in her bag.
Happy birthday, my princess.
Chu Huainan walked over carrying a cake covered with candles.
A candlelight dinner, which he had already prepared, was laid out on the restaurant table.
"you……"
Qin Xue's eyes welled up with tears. Chu Huainan was best at doing these kinds of insignificant but touching little things.
Chu Huainan knelt on one knee and held the cake in front of her: "Won't you make a wish?"
Chu Huainan pulled Qin Xue down to sit, earnestly promising, "Baby, I will definitely make you happy and give you a perfect home. Believe me, although I don't have money right now, I will definitely work hard to earn money for you."
"I was drunk the day before yesterday and said some nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Qin Xue felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but her words remained sharp.
"We'll see how you do."
That's what they said, but Qin Xue believed Chu Huainan's words.
He will definitely give her a happy and fulfilling home.
In her past life, when she was with Cosimo, Qin Xue lived in constant fear.
He was constantly worried about being kidnapped by rival gangs or being targeted by Cosimo's enemies.
Not only that, but we also have to guard against this crazy, yandere woman turning evil at any time because of a careless remark from Qin Xue.
In contrast, Chu Huainan was gentle and considerate, and completely obeyed Qin Xue's orders...
This is the life Qin Xue wants, and the man she wants.
Taking advantage of Qin Xue's slight intoxication, Chu Huainan hugged her tightly, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked, "Is it okay?"
Qin Xue nodded, her face flushed.
In his previous life, Chu Huainan always restrained himself and followed the proper etiquette, and even when they lived together, he never made a move on Qin Xue.
In this life, they are about to get married, and Qin Xue feels it's time.
...
The next day, Qin Xue and Chu Huainan began packing their luggage.
Upon hearing that Qin Xue was returning to China, her classmates held a special gathering.
At first, everyone's conversation revolved around Qin Xue, but as they talked, it turned to Fu Yu, who had suddenly appeared at the thesis defense earlier.
"Did you see that? Fu Yu is wearing a wedding ring. Could she have married Cosimo?"
"If they really got married, Cosimo should have made it official. Is he worried that other gangs might try to kidnap Fu Yu after the announcement? Didn't Palend kidnap Fu Yu before?"
"I heard Cosimo was even injured because of this. It seems he truly loves Fu Yu. I never imagined that such an ordinary girl could win over a mafia godfather."
cut.
Amidst the envious whispers and whispers, Qin Xue's disdainful remark stood out clearly.
A female classmate who was close to Qin Xue nudged her shoulder.
"Qin Xue, weren't you and Fu Yu roommates before? You must know a lot of gossip. Tell me, how did Fu Yu and Cosimo meet? Was it love at first sight or did their feelings develop over time?"
Laughter and jeers erupted from the surrounding area.
Qin Xue laughed dismissively: "It won't last long."
