Everyone frowned in disgust.
Lin Qing said to Qiao Chuchu, "Chuchu, don’t believe her! She’s lying!"
Qiao Chuchu watched as Xia Xuechun cried pitifully, and she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy.
But—
She leaned down and whispered to Xia Xuechun, "Lou Tingsi said that in the church, you and Long Yunxiao discussed hoping I’d be tortured to death. Did you want to end up like Qi Xiaojia, humiliated by a group of n?"
Xia Xuechun’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head. "N-No!"
Qiao Chuchu didn’t believe her, tilting her head. "No? Then why is it that every girl who opposes you ends up being raped to death?"
Xia Xuechun blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"It’s true. I’ve foreseen it." Qiao Chuchu lowered her voice, leaning closer to her ear. "I have the ability to see the future, and I’m not afraid to tell you. Old Lady Qiao’s car crash—the one you instigated—succeeded. She killed my brother in that accident. And you, overjoyed, sent a wedding photo ssage. That’s how I found you."
She pressed the gun against Xia Xuechun’s chest. "I’ve been reborn once. This ti, I ca specifically for you. I know even if I forgive you, you’ll still co after . I have to protect myself."
Xia Xuechun’s eyes widened in disbelief. "What?!"
Qiao Chuchu didn’t answer, smiling faintly. "Goodbye, Xia Xuechun."
Xia Xuechun shuddered, staring at her, mouth opening as if to speak—but no words ca out. Her head lolled to the side, lifeless.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Chuchu felt no joy. She tossed the gun aside and left the room without looking back.
At the sa ti, the system’s voice echoed in her mind: [Congratulations, Host! You’ve obtained the female lead’s complete fate! Your remaining rebirths are being adjusted…]
The number before her eyes changed from 3 to 2.
The system continued: [Host, seeing you co this far hasn’t been easy. We never expected you’d fully inherit the female lead’s fate! Congratulations!]
[Since this rebirth was ti-specific, you still owe us mission progress. We’ll occasionally assign tasks. If you fail, you’ll return to the ti before your designated rebirth—the day of Pei Fengnong’s funeral. All your efforts will be wasted. Please rember our agreent.]

Two hours later.
Qiao Chuchu boarded Ying Chen’s private jet.
There was a private bedroom onboard. The flight would take about five hours, but everyone insisted she rest, so she retreated to the room.
After a shower and changing into comfortable clothes, she lay down and fell asleep.
Pei Fengnong slipped in quietly, watching her sleep, his gaze darkening.
From his pocket, he pulled out an exquisite jewelry box. Inside was a dazzling pink diamond ring.
Everyone had talked about buying Qiao Chuchu a pink diamond ring.
His was the most expensive—custom-made, taking months to complete. It had finally arrived.
He sat on the bed, carefully sliding the ring onto Qiao Chuchu’s finger.
Once it was on, he admired it.
So beautiful.
Her hands were beautiful.
He gently held her hand, lost in thought—until he t Qiao Chuchu’s confused eyes.
Pei Fengnong: "…"
Qiao Chuchu: "…What are you doing?"
"Giving you a ring." He lifted her hand, cheeks faintly pink. "I wanted it to be a surprise."
Qiao Chuchu examined the ring under the light. "It’s gorgeous. This must’ve been expensive?"
"Not at all," Pei Fengnong said without hesitation.
He looked at her earnestly. "No amount is too much for you."
Because she had suffered so much.
He leaned down, cupping her face, studying her features with heartbreaking tenderness—as if seeing soone else through her.
"I had a dream just now," he murmured. "You hurt yourself to save ."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned. "Really?"
[How could he have such a vivid dream? Could it be so inexplicable overlap of tilines?]
Pei Fengnong traced her cheek gently. "You’ve endured so much."
She didn’t deny it.
[Of course it was hard. Back then, it wasn’t just pain—it was utter despair.]
[But it’s over now.]
Thinking of Xia Xuechun—who had sched relentlessly for her life—now dead, she exhaled in relief.
[Thankfully, it’s all over.]
Suddenly, Pei Fengnong pulled her into a crushing embrace!
Caught off guard, she felt him hold her tighter, as if afraid she’d disappear. "I’d die for you, Chuchu."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
His voice trembled—was he crying? "I’m not good with words, but I need you to know—I’d do anything for you. I know you don’t rember , but I want you to understand now. Anything."
A warm tear fell onto her neck.
Pei Fengnong swallowed hard. "I care about you. So much."
Her heart swelled, warmth spreading through her at his tears. "I know."
[Even if I can’t recall the past, I sense who he is. I also know I ruined his future.]
[The records ntioned our history—how I caused his compound fracture, leaving him with chronic pain, ending his racing career.]
[If not for , he’d still be the greatest racer.]
Guilt-ridden, she whispered, "I’m sorry for ruining your future."
Pei Fengnong tightened his arms, shaking his head. "It’s in the past. I don’t care anymore. There’s sothing more important now. But… do you dislike ?"
He asked uncertainly, "I’m not as smooth-talking as the others. Do you mind that?"
"Why would I?" Qiao Chuchu frowned. "What have you done to deserve dislike?"
He grimaced, thinking of the crowd around her. "You’re surrounded by charming people. I’m just… quiet. Maybe you’d prefer soone livelier."
A cold voice cut in: "If you think you’re boring, take your hands off her. Don’t cling so shalessly."
Pei Fengnong: "?!"
He jerked upright, glaring at Pei Che in the doorway. "Since when do you barge in without knocking?!"
Now Pei Che had seen him—vulnerable, clutching Qiao Chuchu like a lost child.
Pei Che leaned against the doorfra, smirking. "Get out. I need to talk to Chuchu."
Pei Fengnong scowled. "Why should I?"
"Because I’m your older brother." Without another word, Pei Che yanked him off the bed and shoved him out!
