"Bamboo Spirit."
Zhichen called her, and Zhu Ling was distracted, so Xia Xingchen immediately walked away from her.
As he passed by her, a bright light flashed in Xia Xingchen's eyes.
By the time Zhu Ling reacted, Xia Xingchen had already slipped away. She wanted to chase after him, but her body was restrained by Zhichen.
Even so, Zhu Ling was still aggressive, "Xia Xingchen, stop right there! Don't run if you can!"
"Zhu Ling, you've drunk too much." Zhi Chen hugged her tightly from behind and smelled the smell of alcohol.
"I'm not drunk. I'm very sober now. At least I know that the woman just now was Xia Xingchen." Zhu Ling roared.
Zhichen held her body down with all his strength, "Zhu Ling, calm down and listen to me..."
"How can I stay calm? Xia Xingchen has seduced you time and time again. I can't stay calm. Today, she must die!" Zhu Ling struggled even harder.
"Zhu Ling!" Zhi Chen roared angrily, frightening Zhu Ling so much that she dared not move. She was held obediently in his arms. Then, she heard him say, "Listen, Xia Xingchen and I have nothing to do with each other. Do you understand?"
Zhu Ling was like a frightened little rabbit, with red eyes. She slowly turned around and stared at Zhi Chen intently, asking in disbelief, "Is everything you said true?"
Zhichen nodded firmly, "I would never lie to anyone else but you."
Then, Zhu Ling reached out and slowly touched Zhichen's warm face, muttering: "Zhichen, I regret it..."
As she spoke, she felt a headache and fell into Zhichen's arms.
Zhichen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he touched Zhu Ling's backpack. The zipper of the backpack was open, and he took out a shiny fruit knife from it...
He placed the fruit knife on the table and whispered, "Zhu Ling, no matter what, I can't let you be charged with murder."
The next second, he picked up Zhu Ling and carried her back home.

Xia Xingchen left the coffee shop, still a little shocked when he thought of the scene just now.
She only knew that scumbag men would assault women, even kill them to silence them, but she never expected... that women could be so crazy for love.
Women can’t go crazy, it’s really deadly when they do!
When they returned to the palace, Gong Bingye had not returned yet, so Xia Xingchen went for a walk in the garden.
The flowers in the garden are in bloom, red, white, and pink, and they look very beautiful.
Although the flowers were beautiful, she had no intention of appreciating them. She stood outside the window and became lost in thought.
At some point, Ling Mei suddenly walked up to her and asked gently, "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Xingchen's thoughts were pulled back, "No, I was just admiring the flowers."
Ling Mei looked as if she had seen through Xia Xingchen, "Are you and Ye Nao having a conflict?"
Xia Xingchen shook his head, his eyes dimming as he looked at the flowers in front of him.
Ling Mei took Xia Xingchen's hand and spoke slowly, "Xingchen, as a public figure, netizens are looking at you with a magnifying glass. This is a good thing for you, as it means you're already known to everyone. Don't worry too much about their opinions, because... no matter how well you do, it's hard to satisfy everyone..."
"I believe that you and Zhichen are innocent!"
They never paid attention to entertainment news, but after they adopted Xia Xingchen as their daughter-in-law, they started to pay attention to it almost every day.
In the past two days, Xia Xingchen and Zhichen have been involved in scandals again because of Zhichen's single MV, and netizens are hyping up their CP again.
Although it was not very popular and did not make the list, it still had a certain impact on Xia Xingchen.
All they can do is to be Xia Xingchen's strong backing!
Xia Xingchen slowly raised his head and looked at Ling Mei in disbelief.
Does she really believe in herself?!
Ling Mei continued, "This kid is so jealous that he's lost himself. I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back."
Xia Xingchen pursed her lips, feeling relieved at this moment, "It's not his fault, it's my fault."
Ling Mei patted her shoulder gently with her other hand, "What a sensible and good child."
Xia Xingchen smiled, looked at Ling Mei, and said sincerely: "Thank you..."
She tried to call out "Mom", but the words couldn't come out.
This word is strange, distant, and even... every time she thinks of this word, she thinks of Cui Jingshu.
Ling Mei said with relief: "What a silly child, what can the family say to thank you?"
As she spoke, she gently hugged Xia Xingchen and said, "Child, I hope this brat can bring you happiness!"
Don't be like her and end up committing suicide for love.
It’s okay if they look the same, but the ending must be different!
In the evening, Gong Bingye did not return until the early morning.
As soon as he entered the door, Ling Mei and Gong Nan were standing in the living room. The lights in the living room were on, but Gong Bingye was still startled by the two people in front of him.
Gong Bingye said speechlessly as he changed his slippers, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing? You're not sleeping at night and you're scaring me in the living room."
"Come upstairs with me." Ling Mei said and went upstairs.
Gong Bingye was confused and asked Gong Nan for help.
Gong Nan spread his hands, looking as if he had nothing to say.
Gong Bingye sighed and went upstairs obediently.
I don’t know whether it is good or bad to have a father who is a slave to his wife.
Arriving at the bedroom, Gong Bingye closed the door, turned around, and asked tiredly, "Mom, can we talk about it tomorrow? I'm very tired and want to go to bed."
"You still have the mood to sleep? If you do, your wife will run away." Ling Mei sat on the edge of the bed, feeling annoyed.
Gong Bingye fell silent.
Ling Mei looked at him and asked, "Let me ask you, what's wrong with you? Don't you like Xingchen very much? Why do you ignore her when you see her filming intimate scenes with others?"
"How can you be a man like this? You're really embarrassing me!"
"I'm telling you, if one day my star doesn't want you anymore, don't cry to me!"
"I'm so pissed off!"
Ling Mei was getting angrier and angrier as she spoke. She simply stood up, walked up to him, and asked, "Tell me honestly, do you believe in Xingchen?"
Gong Bingye answered without hesitation: "I definitely believe you, girl."
However, every time he saw the girl, the image of her and Zhichen hugging each other would involuntarily appear in his mind...
Thinking of this, he felt heartbroken.
It's not that he ignored the girl, he just didn't know how to face her.
"You're also a public figure. You should understand that as an artist, this is her job, and you should respect her." Ling Mei continued, "Unless she agrees to quit the entertainment industry and become a full-time wife for the Gong family, otherwise... things like this will happen again!"
"That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully!"
"Honey, I'm tired and want to sleep."
As she said that, she turned around and lay down on the bed.
Gong Nan patted Gong Bingye's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Son, your mother is right!"
