Chapter Index

    “How pathetic… Do you really think a woman’s existence is merely as a tool for childbirth? Sheng Xiaojing, have I ever given you any hope? Where did you get the delusion that we could be together? I want Bai Shuangyu, and it has nothing to do with his family background, looks, or gender. He doesn’t have them? No problem, as long as I do. I’m happy to spoil him, and I’m willing to give him the world. That’s my business. As for children? I have no intention of letting a third wheel disturb our world for two. Even if he could give birth, I wouldn’t let him. No one can take away his love and attention… not even a child!” Feng Yan sneered, his eyes filled with infatuation and madness.

    With such a fanatical expression, no one would believe he hadn’t been put under a curse. Sheng Xiaojing’s eyes filled with disbelief, and goosebumps broke out all over her body. She became even more convinced of Yan Qianqian’s words: Bai Shuangyu had used witchcraft on her Brother Yan!

    Inside the car, Shuang Yu also heard Feng Yan’s words. He was extremely surprised, not understanding how Psycho Feng had developed such deep feelings for him! No matter how much it was love at first sight, becoming this infatuated in such a short time wasn’t normal…

    “Well, this can’t be so cliché, can it? Am I the love tribulation this big shot is fated to experience?” Shuang Yu muttered to himself.

    That wasn’t right either. He was living in place of the original owner, who hadn’t had any entanglement with this person in two lifetimes. So how could there be a love tribulation? He belatedly realized that Feng Yan was extremely persistent about him; it wasn’t something he could just play around with and then leave. Ending it here was the best outcome. He wasn’t the original owner. Once the original owner’s resentment was dispelled, he would leave this world and report back to the Underworld Bureau. There was no future for him and Feng Yan. He had to draw a clear line with him as soon as possible. In this world, no one is indispensable to anyone else. As time passed, he would eventually fade from his memory.

    Opening the car door, Shuang Yu got out. When Sheng Xiaojing saw him, the taut string in her mind finally snapped. She lunged, grabbing his collar and starting a hair-pulling fight.

    “You bastard, what did you do to Brother Yan? I’ll kill you…”

    In the struggle, her sharp fingernails scratched a fine, bloody line on Shuang Yu’s neck. Because the wound was so small, he didn’t even notice it himself. But Feng Yan’s expression suddenly changed, and an overwhelming chill swept over them. He grabbed Sheng Xiaojing and, without a word, slapped her across the face.

    Slap—

    She fell to the ground, clutching her swollen cheek as she stared up at Feng Yan in a daze.

    “Are you okay? Damn it, she dared to hurt you!” Feng Yan didn’t even deign to give her a glance, his eyes filled with heartache as he examined the small wound on Shuang Yu’s neck.

    That tiny bloody scratch was so glaring. He himself couldn’t bear to hurt him in the slightest, yet that damn woman dared to! His eyes filled with a world-destroying vicious energy, Feng Yan abruptly turned back to look at Sheng Xiaojing. This was the first time she had seen him in such a crazed state. So terrifying… Trembling like a leaf, Sheng Xiaojing stammered an apology, “I… I didn’t mean to…”

    Shuang Yu looked at Feng Yan’s murderous expression, feeling a little uneasy. He truly believed that Psycho Feng would kill for him! The man before him was a lunatic. Yet, he didn’t find him frightening. Even… a little… moved? More than the lunatic’s madness, he couldn’t accept the fact that he was moved.

    Not wanting to become a laughingstock, Shuang Yu gently took Feng Yan’s hand and tried to placate him.

    “Forget it. She didn’t mean to do it, and you already slapped her. Let’s call it even.”

    “I don’t want your pity, you hypocritical piece of trash!” The sight of their intertwined hands deeply provoked Sheng Xiaojing. She screamed at him through her tears.

    “What is going on here?” Behind them, Feng Haolin’s authoritative voice rang out.

    Sheng Xiaojing’s eyes lit up with surprise, as if she had found her backbone. Sobbing, she scrambled up and ran to Li Yushu’s side to complain. “Sob, sob, sob… Uncle, Auntie, you have to do something about Brother Feng Yan! He’s been bewitched by that man’s witchcraft and insists on marrying him… Brother Feng Yan isn’t even gay, how could he fall so deeply for a piece of trash in such a short time!”

    The two families were on relatively good terms, so she naturally assumed they would take her side. Feng Yan falling for a man was a disgrace to the family. If the two of them intervened, they could definitely separate them. Then, all she had to do was secretly get rid of Bai Shuangyu, and the witchcraft on Brother Yan would surely be lifted.

    “Xiao Yu, what… what is all this?” Bai Rong stared wide-eyed at their clasped hands, clearly having received quite a shock.

    Seeing Father Bai and Feng Yan’s parents, Shuang Yu grew even more flustered. He hastily tried to shake off Feng Yan’s hand, but the other man held it firmly, his grip so strong that it was even painful. Li Yushu and Feng Haolin watched this scene, feeling a headache coming on. No one knew their son’s true face better than they did. It was clearly him who had forced himself on a good family man; what witchcraft was there to speak of? Knowing they were in the wrong, Feng Haolin and Li Yushu exchanged a look. They knew they had to pick a side now, or else if their son got unhappy, he would very likely ruin their own company to vent his anger!

    “Miss Sheng, please have some self-respect. My son and Xiao Yu are in… in mutual love. My husband and I have no objections to Xiao Yu just because he is a man. We already consider him family. We’ve gathered here today to discuss their marriage. Your appearance has severely disturbed us, so please leave.” Li Yushu coughed, speaking solemnly. When she said the words ‘mutual love,’ her tone was inexplicably guilty.

    “M-Marriage?!” Bai Rong, who had been kept in the dark, sucked in a cold breath, completely stunned.

    Never mind him being confused; Shuang Yu, the person involved, was also completely baffled. Feng Yan had basically just dropped a time bomb on him. Just a second ago, Sheng Xiaojing had been gloating that someone could finally deal with Bai Shuangyu. Now her eyes were wide and her mouth agape, utterly dumbfounded.

    “Ahem, sorry about that, Old Bai. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you. Don’t get the wrong idea. My son has always been very well-behaved, he just takes after his mother in looks and tends to attract flies. Let’s not let an outsider spoil the mood. Let’s go up.” Feng Haolin cheerfully went forward, put an arm around Bai Rong’s shoulders, and walked into the restaurant like they were the best of buddies.

    Li Yushu also smilingly pushed her son aside, naturally took Shuang Yu’s hand, and led him enthusiastically into the restaurant, just like a prospective mother-in-law meeting her daughter-in-law. “Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan hasn’t caused you any trouble, has he…” As she walked, she didn’t forget to glare back at Feng Yan, signaling him to quickly deal with the fly beside him and not let Shuang Yu get the wrong idea.

    “Impossible… Impossible…” Sheng Xiaojing, as if her soul had been snatched away, could only cry and mutter these words.

    “Stay away from Yu and me from now on. If you ever appear before us again, don’t blame me for not cherishing our old ties!” Feng Yan looked down at her imperiously, finished speaking in a cold voice, and turned to leave.

    The crowd, having enjoyed the spectacle, finally dared to point fingers at her, but no one had the courage to take photos or videos to post online. They were all people of status. No one knew better than them what the consequences of offending Feng Yan would be!
