“Seriously speaking, your Sis’ dance performance tonight was way too sensual and racy.”
i Yangyang glared at him and questioned, “Were you enticed too?”
“Of course not,” Long Tianze blurted without hesitation. “You’re the only woman in this world who can entice . No one else has the ability to attract , alright? But Qingyan looked so cross tonight.”
“If he can canoodle pretty girls, why can’t my Sis be allowed to dance with a hunk? They’re both free and single now. No one is to restrict them,” i Yangyang retorted.
“What a sha... You have a point though. I wonder if he registered what you said earlier on,” said Long Tianze, clutching the steering wheel.
“It’s up to him to listen to . I’ve already said what I should.”
“...”
A deafening silence filled the air in the other car.
Ling Ciye was behind the wheel while Jin Qingyan rode in the passenger seat with his eyes tightly shut, though it was unclear if he had fallen asleep or not.
The cars drove into Wei Ni Estate one after another.
“We’re here.”
Noticing that Jin Qingyan opened his eyes imdiately, Ling Ciye knew that he did not fall asleep during the journey at all.
He alighted from the car and headed straight into his mansion.
Ling Ciye parked the car at the side and followed Jin Qingyan in.
“Auntie Chen, Qingyan had a lot to drink. Please brew so hangover broth and send it to him later.”
“Alright.”
After making the necessary arrangents, Ling Ciye left.
Jin Qingyan proceeded to take a shower once he arrived upstairs.
Images of the events that took place in the Black Genie Bar tonight flashed through his mind while he stood beneath the shower head.
The proud and willful An Xiaoning seed to have weaved herself into the crevices of his flesh and bone and had long since beco a part of him.
He thought that he could break free from her after the divorce.
However, in reality, he had already been shackled to her for life and the divorce was rely a formality that served no actual purpose for him.
He heard a knocking on his door when he ca out of the shower, clad in a bathrobe.
“Young Sir, here’s so hangover broth.”
He opened the door and received it from her hands. “Thank you, Auntie Chen.”
“Rest well, Young Sir.” Auntie Chen bowed and headed downstairs.
After closing the door, he downed the broth and lay down in bed.
However, he had trouble sleeping as usual.
Thus, he had no choice but to rely on sleeping pills to help send him off to dreamland.

Xiaozong refused to go anywhere else and remained at ho to accompany i Shuangshuang.
i Shuangshuang realized that she was feeling sleepy and lethargic every single day and would spend most of her ti sleeping, as if she could never get enough rest no matter how much she slept.
She was not born yesterday and knew that sothing must have gone amiss.
She woke up in the middle of the night to find that the man beside her was still sound asleep.
i Shuangshuang heard a notification tone from a ssaging platform. She reached for his mobile phone, which was lying on the headboard, and opened the new ssage he had received. She imdiately flew into an uncontrollable rage the mont she scrolled upwards to view his chat history.
Xiaozong had been having extrely flirtatious conversations with other girls.
Feeling betrayed, i Shuangshuang proceeded to check his other ssage history, after which she imdiately switched on the lights and shook Xiaozong to wake him up.
“What’s the matter, Darling?” He sat up straight, sleepy-eyed.
“Who’s this? Your conversations are so explicitly sexual and flirtatious. How dare you engage in such suggestive conservations with another woman behind my back!?!” i Shuangshuang hollered in pique, showing him the chat ssages.
“I didn’t send those ssages. Fatty was the one who did it using my mobile phone,” he explained.
“Really?”
“Of course. Why would I dare to do that?” he answered, putting an arm around her shoulder.
i Shuangshuang forced herself to believe him. “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Alright, go ahead.” Once she entered the bathroom, Xiaozong took out a separate mobile phone from beneath his pillow and sent i Shuangshuang a text ssage, which he had already typed beforehand. He then switched off his mobile phone and went back to sleep.
i Shuangshuang was no longer sleepy by the ti she ca out of the shower.
She picked up her mobile phone and leaned against the headboard out of habit.
Noticing that she had received a new text ssage, she tapped to open it, only to receive a great shock.
She imdiately shrieked in exasperation.
“What’s the matter? What happened? You gave a scare,” Xiaozong asked.
“Soone has made a fraudulent and unauthorized transaction with my card! I just received a notification from the bank monts ago. It’s said that all my money has been transferred away from my account. I must hurry and make a police report,” she said anxiously, showing him the text ssage.
She then got up in an attempt to get dressed.
Xiaozong imdiately grabbed her and said, “Calm down, I’ll call the police right now.”
He whipped out his mobile phone and turned to the side to dial a number with his back facing her. “Hello, is this the police station? There has been an unauthorized transaction made using my girlfriend’s bank card just a short while ago. She was robbed of more than 500 thousand dollars. Her na is i Shuangshuang. Her identification number and bank account number...”
He waved at i Shuangshuang and gestured for her to bring her personal identification card and bank card to him.
i Shuangshuang hurriedly proceeded to do so.
Xiaozong finally ended the call after going through the motions.
In fact, the number he had dialed actually belonged to his friend, who played along to fabricate a seamless phone call.
As for the text ssage she received from “the bank,” it was sent using a re scam software he had bought, which allowed any number to be set as the sender ID.
i Shuangshuang felt a sense of relief after knowing that a police report had been made. Or so she thought.
She began cursing and bawling in agony while Xiaozong chid in.
“I wonder if my money can be recovered. How am I supposed to live without money?” i Shuangshuang lanted with a glum and gloomy expression.
“Your family is so wealthy, it doesn’t matter. Just ask your parents for more.”
i Shuangshuang decided to put down her facade and said, “My mother passed away not long ago. My sister is currently taking care of my father. He’s penniless.”
“Where did you get those hundreds of thousands then?” Xiaozong asked with a slight change in his tone.
“I sold my father’s jade pendant that my sister had bought for him. I can’t return to that ho either. What am I supposed to do now, Xiaozong? I’ll have to depend on you from now on,” said i Shuangshuang with dejection written all over her face.
A look of dismay ford on Xiaozong’s face. He sighed and said, “Actually, I’ve been hiding this from you, but I’ve been staying with you these past few days because I fell out with my father.”
“What!?!” i Shuangshuang gasped in shock and stared at him in disbelief, as if his words were salt being rubbed into her wound. “Why did you guys fall out?” she asked.
“My father wants to marry the daughter of a family friend. But since you and I are already dating, I ought to take responsibility for you. So, I had a tiff with my father and he kicked out of the house.”
i Shuangshuang was moved to tears upon hearing his words.
“Xiaozong... you’re so nice to ,” she said, throwing herself into his arms.
“Silly, you’re my woman, of course I’m going to be nice to you.”
“But how are we supposed to continue with life now that both of us are penniless? I feel so hopeless now,” i Shuangshuang lanted in misery.
“From what you’ve said, your sister seems to be very wealthy. Why don’t we ask her for so money? I doubt she’d watch you starve to death, would she?”
“She must be furious at for selling my father’s jade pendant. I reckon she won’t allow to step foot into her house,” said i Shuangshuang, who understood i Yangyang too well.
