The female bodyguard responsible for closely protecting Ye Qingxian launched a surprise attack on Chen Xuan from behind.

The dagger thrust towards Chen Xuan's back with fierce momentum, seemingly impossible to dodge.

Bang!

Without turning his head, Chen Xuan whipped his leg like the Divine Dragon Tail Swing.

He directly kicked the female bodyguard, sending her flying five meters away.

She spat out fresh blood, seriously injured.

"Miss..."

The female bodyguard still tried to struggle to her feet to continue protecting Ye Qingxian, but unfortunately, her injuries were too severe for her to stand.

"Ah Xiu!"

Ye Qingxian let out a startled cry, her eyes turning red with a look filled with resentment as she glared at Chen Xuan, "If you've got the guts, just strangle me!"

"After all, I'm just an unnecessary existence. Dying at your hands wouldn't leave me with any regrets!"

Plop!

A crystalline tear rolled down from Ye Qingxian's eyes.

Chen Xuan's heart trembled slightly, this was the first time he saw Ye Qingxian cry.

He took away his killing intent and then moved his hand from Ye Qingxian's neck.

"Ye Qingxian, today I'll let you go again, take care of yourself in the future."

After saying this, Chen Xuan turned to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Ye Qingxian softly shouted, blocking Chen Xuan's path, "You must make things clear to me, why treat me this way?"

Chen Xuan's face darkened, "Don't you know it yourself? Stop pretending to be innocent with me!"

"Didn't Sun Yongkang come because you called him?"

"What does his return have to do with me?" Ye Qingxian retorted indignantly.

Haha!

Chen Xuan sneered in anger, "You called him actively, told him about me and Lin Wanxi, don't think I don't know!"

Ye Qingxian squinted slightly, "Sun Yongkang told you that, didn't he?"

"In your eyes, I'm just a heinous villain, not worthy of a shred of pity!"

Hmm?

Chen Xuan stared blankly at her, was there another hidden story?

"Ye Qingxian, I really don't want to maliciously speculate about you, but you must tell me the truth." Chen Xuan said coldly.

Ye Qingxian snorted lightly, "It's not that I called him, but Sun Yongkang called me to indirectly inquire about Lin Wanxi's situation."

"I just truthfully told him about your marital status. Is there anything wrong with that? I didn't lie, you two are in a fake marriage anyway!"

Chen Xuan frowned, what Sun Yongkang said was different.

Actively calling and being passively informed are vastly different.

"Ye Qingxian, are you sure you're not lying to me?" Chen Xuan stared intensely at her.

Ye Qingxian portrayed a sad look, "You distrust me so much, it really disheartens me."

She deliberately pulled out her phone and opened the call history, "See for yourself, didn't Sun Yongkang call me?"

Chen Xuan looked carefully, and now he could confirm 100% that it wasn't Ye Qingxian who maliciously called Sun Yongkang.

Quite awkward indeed!

Chen Xuan's expression softened, "Ye Qingxian, I apologize for my impulsive behavior earlier, but don't feel too wronged."

"Ask yourself, even if you didn't actively call Sun Yongkang with ill intentions, wasn't there any ulterior motive involved?"

Ye Qingxian spread her hands, "Yes, I confess that I told Sun Yongkang about your relationship with Lin Wanxi for my own intentions, but I didn't maliciously fabricate anything!"

"Besides, you need to understand one thing, I didn't do this against you! I just want you to stay away from Lin Wanxi and be with me."

Chen Xuan chuckled in exasperation, "Do you think saying that is moral?"

Ye Qingxian had an indifferent expression, "I admit it's immoral, but I don't care."

"You've already labeled me as a witch, you should know my nature, I'll stop at nothing to achieve my goals!"

"I don't care what the world thinks of me, I just want to get what I desire in my own way!"

Chen Xuan fell into a brief silence, softly saying, "Ye Qingxian, my intuition tells me you must have had an unfortunate childhood, leading to your rebellious nature today."

Ye Qingxian looked at him meaningfully, "You are indeed impressive! You can make judgments with just a few words!"

"Yes, I am an abandoned girl, a wild child in others' eyes, never felt a day's fatherly love. To make ends meet, my mother was forced into a life of vice."

"I witnessed with my own eyes my mother being humiliated by a group of bad people! From that day on, I swore I would change my fate with my own ability, even if it meant being reviled by thousands, I wouldn't hesitate!"

"My painful experiences, my tragic life... you simply don't understand and never can."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "I understand, and I empathize deeply."

"Because, in some ways, I've had a similar experience, also an orphan with both parents deceased."

Hmm?

Ye Qingxian stared at him blankly, "You're also an orphan?"
