Chapter 119: Simultaneously Offending Three Bigshots – Part Six

Yun Ning wore a faint smile on her lips, her gaze fixed intently on the panicked Yu Liuxue, feeling an unexpected sense of satisfaction. Usually, Xiao Yuetong always appeared dignified and aloof in front of her. Seeing this unfamiliar side of her was both refreshing and oddly gratifying.

Meng Xi, her eyes blurred with tears, glanced at Xie Zhenxue holding a plate of fruit on her left, then at Yun Ning on her right, who was smiling and supporting Yu Liuxue to prevent her from falling. A surge of anger rose within her. Xiao Yuetong had evenly shared the news with Xie Zhenxue and Yun Ning but had left her out, leading her to wild speculations and an inexplicable sense of loss.

She had been diligently resolving issues with the TV series, and hadn’t Xiao Yuetong praised her for doing well? Yet despite their close relationship, Xiao Yuetong had managed to avoid telling her, leaving her in the dark.

Meng Xi clenched her lips tightly, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face. Could it be that all the praise she had received before was false? Did Xiao Yuetong dislike her the most among Xie Zhenxue and Yun Ning? Was she even less important than Xie Zhenxue in Xiao Yuetong’s heart?

Meng Xi felt utterly humiliated.

She felt like a jilted woman, like a failure whose dignity had been trampled in front of everyone.

So, this was how insignificant she was in Xiao Yuetong’s heart.

Yu Liuxue never expected that merely watching her son’s downfall would land her in trouble. She was at a loss for words, while Xie Zhenxue and Yun Ning blocked her escape routes on both sides, making it impossible for her to flee like Xiao Kewei.

Yu Liuxue almost cried as well. The supporting character in front of her was crying like a rain-drenched pear blossom, a pitiful sight, but Yu Liuxue dared not provoke her. Not only that, she softened her voice, using her skill to speak appropriately to different audiences. “Xiao Xi, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not like that.”

She glanced at the sickly yandere¹ Xie Zhenxue and the scheming Yun Ning, feeling overwhelmed. After quickly searching her mind for an excuse, she awkwardly said to Xie Zhenxue and Yun Ning, “Ning Ning, Zhenxue, I need to speak to Xiao Xi alone. Please go inside first.”

Since she was going to speak nonsense, she couldn’t let the main parties hear it.

Xie Zhenxue, understanding the situation, smiled and obediently carried the plate inside, thoughtfully closing the door. Yun Ning, holding a book, glanced at Meng Xi without a word and added, “Aunt Xiao, call me if you need anything.”

Hearing this, Meng Xi glared at Yu Liuxue with tear-filled eyes. She used to wonder why Xie Zhenxue always seemed so undignified and humble in front of Xiao Yuetong, appearing so unremarkable. Ha, if she had someone who always thought of her, who always cared for her, wouldn’t she also cherish them and be willing to give her heart to them?

The more Meng Xi thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t satisfy Xiao Yuetong.

Seeing Meng Xi’s face grow darker, Yu Liuxue quickly closed the door after Yun Ning went inside, then reached out her hand. “Xiao Xi, come with me. Aunt has something heartfelt to tell you.”

As her hand reached out, Meng Xi sharply pulled her arm away, perfectly avoiding Yu Liuxue’s grasp. Yu Liuxue had to retract her hand. “Xiao Xi, if you want to scold Aunt, I won’t stop you, but you should at least give Aunt a chance to explain, don’t you think?”

Meng Xi, her eyes filled with tears, stared at her for a long time until Yu Liuxue’s smile almost froze. Finally, she snorted coldly and walked towards the swing. Yu Liuxue breathed a sigh of relief and, after ensuring they were far enough from the door, stopped and earnestly defended herself. “Xiao Xi, it’s not what you think.”

Meng Xi raised her eyes expressionlessly, her eyes red, her ears flushed with embarrassment. She felt her face heat up, her eyes glistening with tears, her eye corners tinged with a pitiful red. She wanted to see what kind of ivory would come out of Xiao Yuetong’s mouth².

Yu Liuxue took a deep breath, as if deciding to reveal something after a fierce internal struggle. Her expression was so genuine that even the System was almost fooled. The System crossed its legs and listened intently, skeptical that the Host could come up with any new tricks this time.

“Xiao Xi, in Aunt’s heart, you’ve always been the most important person.” Yu Liuxue showed a kind expression and sighed softly. “I wasn’t planning to tell you so soon, but since you’ve misunderstood Aunt’s intentions, I have to tell you the truth.”

“Among the three of you, the one Aunt has always recognized the most is you. You’re beautiful and talented, and no matter what Aunt asks, you always complete it perfectly. Aunt can’t find any faults, so Aunt’s heart has long leaned towards you.”

Yu Liuxue smiled regretfully. “Xiao Xi, do you know why Aunt told Ning Ning and Zhenxue about this but left you out?”

Meng Xi snorted coldly, her face darkening even more upon hearing this. Why else? Isn’t it because you don’t like me and are dissatisfied with me?

“It’s because, from the beginning to the end, you’ve always been the daughter-in-law Aunt is most satisfied with!” Yu Liuxue nearly burst into tears.

Meng Xi was stunned. She was the most perfect daughter-in-law in her heart…?

Yu Liuxue sighed again. “Do you know why Aunt let someone inexperienced like you be my Producer? Do you know why Aunt always assigns tasks to you? Do you know why Aunt is always particularly strict with you? Because Aunt has been evaluating you as a prospective daughter-in-law.”

“In Aunt’s heart, you’ve always been the top priority, which is why Aunt always entrusts tasks to you, because the first person Aunt thinks of when something happens is always you!”

Meng Xi was stunned again. So… that’s why?

Had she misunderstood her?

She blinked, and tears trickled down her fair cheeks. Seeing this, Yu Liuxue tenderly wiped away her tears. “Xiao Xi, I’m sorry. Aunt shouldn’t have kept this from you, causing you to misunderstand and feel hurt. Aunt should have told you earlier, instead of considering things from Aunt’s own perspective.”

This time, Meng Xi didn’t avoid Yu Liuxue. She stood there, dazed and motionless.

The other’s hand was soft and smooth, gently brushing her cheek like a feather, tickling her.

Suddenly, Meng Xi snapped back to reality, hastily avoiding Yu Liuxue’s hand, her face flushed, her gaze falling in a panic on the swing beside her. So, Aunt Xiao had such thoughtful intentions?

Xie Zhenxue leaned against the door. When she saw Yu Liuxue wipe away Meng Xi’s tears, she frowned, looking dejectedly at the scene and muttering to herself, “When I cried before, Aunt Xiao never wiped my tears.”

As expected, she still wasn’t doing well enough, which was why her position in Aunt Xiao’s heart wasn’t as important as Meng Xi’s.

Yun Ning lifted her eyes, clearly seeing the situation in the distance through the clean glass. She saw Meng Xi take a step back, her face visibly turning red. She lowered her head, seemingly shy, while the woman gently touched Meng Xi’s head with a look of heartache, speaking softly. Yun Ning curled her lips, what a touching scene of deep affection.

Seeing that Meng Xi didn’t suspect anything, Yu Liuxue felt a turning point had arrived. She pressed on, saying, “Meng Xi, you know Ning Ning. Ever since her parents passed away, her personality changed drastically, becoming reclusive and obsessive. Under such circumstances, I absolutely wouldn’t agree to Kewei being with her.”

“And Zhenxue, she’s an actress, part of the Entertainment Industry, a place full of mixed fish and dragons, rife with disputes. Kewei is just an ordinary man, and as a mother, I certainly don’t want my son dragged into such chaos. After all, I am a prime example myself.”

“So only you, Xiao Xi, are truly different,” Yu Liuxue spoke with such sincerity that she almost believed it herself. “Only you are perfect. You have a good upbringing, are dignified, well-read, and capable. You and Kewei are a perfect match, and Auntie couldn’t be more satisfied.”

The System couldn’t help but question: “?” Is this really okay?

Meng Xi was stunned by Yu Liuxue’s words, half-believing, half-doubting. Yet Yu Liuxue’s words were flawless, and she did indeed feel she was the most outstanding among the three. Thinking this, her expression unconsciously softened a lot.

Seizing the moment, Yu Liuxue tested the waters by gently patting her head, “So, Xiao Xi, Auntie’s heart has always leaned towards you.”

Meng Xi looked at her, and Yu Liuxue smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, when Kewei returns, Auntie will definitely give him a good scolding on your behalf! Auntie was heartbroken by what he did, which is why she locked him in the winery to move goods in all weather, to vent your anger.”

Meng Xi suddenly understood, so that’s how it was…

Her face turned even redder, and she awkwardly lowered her head, “I’m sorry, Aunt Xiao, I was too impulsive just now…”

Aunt Xiao was so good to her, always considering her in everything, yet she had misunderstood and suspected her. She felt utterly despicable, unworthy of being her daughter-in-law. Meng Xi sniffled lightly, and Yu Liuxue handed her a tissue, “Auntie promised to make something delicious for you today. Come, let’s go back. What would you like to eat? Auntie will make it all for you.”

Meng Xi hesitated, carefully taking the tissue, “No need, Aunt Xiao, I can’t trouble you…”

“It’s no trouble, Auntie is happy to do it.”

After Meng Xi pursed her lips into a smile, Yu Liuxue finally managed to appease the supporting character. When Meng Xi wasn’t noticing, Yu Liuxue let out a long breath, recalling the earlier tense situation, and couldn’t help but vent her anger at the System, scolding it thoroughly.

Xie Zhenxue looked at Yu Liuxue eagerly, wanting to know what Yu Liuxue had said to Meng Xi. In just a short time, Meng Xi went from tears to smiles, and her gaze even carried a hint of “I won’t stoop to your level, because I, Meng, am the noblest, and I have always been the winner,” which gave Xie Zhenxue a strong sense of crisis. She feared her position in Yu Liuxue’s heart would be replaced by Meng Xi, so she worked especially hard helping Yu Liuxue prepare the side dishes.

Meng Xi saw all of this, thinking disdainfully: No matter how much you try to please Aunt Xiao, she has already chosen me as her daughter-in-law, your flattery is useless.

Thinking this, Meng Xi immediately felt superior again.

She glanced at Yun Ning, who was holding a book, her red lips curling slightly, suddenly wanting to flaunt her victory, “You lost.”

Yun Ning showed no reaction, making Meng Xi feel ignored, and she became somewhat exasperated, “Don’t think that by acting aloof, Aunt Xiao will recognize you. In fact, you’ve already been kicked out by Aunt Xiao!”

Yun Ning finally reacted.

Yu Liuxue had invited Yun Ning, Meng Xi, and Xie Zhenxue over not just to have a meal and strengthen their bond, but also to let them see her son’s true colors. Who knew it would backfire, not only failing to achieve her goal but also finding her son a devoted fool.

Yu Liuxue looked up, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle⁴, her eyes full of sorrow.

What she did was harming the girl!

Xiao Kewei had long disappeared, so Yu Liuxue only prepared food for four. While cooking the last dish, Xie Zhenxue casually approached her, asking, “Aunt Xiao, is Meng Xi okay?”

Yu Liuxue didn’t think much of it, casually replying, “She’s fine. Her mood has improved a lot now.”

Xie Zhenxue blinked lightly, then smiled, “Aunt Xiao, when I saw Meng Xi crying, my heart seemed to ache along with her.”

Yu Liuxue instinctively turned her head, seeing Xie Zhenxue’s smiling eyes, lips curved in a smile, yet inexplicably giving off a…

【Homeroom Teacher’s Death Stare.jpg】 vibe.

The two stared at each other for a long time, Yu Liuxue smiled, starting her ghost talk again, “Zhenxue, Xiao Xi is a guest. It’s rare for her to visit, and if Auntie made her cry, Auntie would feel very guilty.”

Yu Liuxue said a lot, but Xie Zhenxue only caught one key point: in Aunt Xiao’s heart, Meng Xi was merely a guest, so no matter what, she had to appease the guest to avoid being impolite. But it was different for her; in Aunt Xiao’s heart, she was closer than a guest, which is why Aunt Xiao was so natural with her.

Xie Zhenxue’s expression indeed improved a lot, she smiled happily, “I understand, Aunt Xiao.”

Soon, Meng Xi and Yun Ning noticed Xie Zhenxue’s uncontrollable smile, her eyes full of laughter, and her gaze towards them subtly carried an air of “Since you’re Aunt Xiao’s guests, I won’t stoop to your level. In Aunt Xiao’s heart, only I am the most important, closer than you two guests.”

Xie Zhenxue’s slight arrogance displeased Meng Xi immediately. She raised her chin high, glaring at Xie Zhenxue: Look at you, just helping Aunt Xiao with a dish makes you so satisfied, but in Aunt Xiao’s heart, only I am the daughter-in-law she truly desires!

Yun Ning watched the undercurrents between Meng Xi and Xie Zhenxue, “?”

Yu Liuxue was not unaware of the tension among the three young ones, but with the mindset of “the less trouble, the better, otherwise she’ll be the one to suffer,” she pretended to be oblivious the entire time. Whenever a spark appeared between Xie Zhenxue and Meng Xi, she would immediately step in to quell it.

After the meal, as Yu Liuxue sent Meng Xi and Xie Zhenxue off, she finally felt she had returned to a peaceful paradise.

But just as she sighed in relief, she turned to see Yun Ning standing behind her with a colorful book. Yun Ning’s long black hair and delicate features made her look like a character straight out of a manga when standing in the dim light.

With black hair and eyes, and fair skin, she possessed a cold, ethereal beauty that left people awestruck.

Seeing that she had startled her, Yun Ning slightly curled her lips, “Aunt Xiao, get some rest. Good night.”

Yu Liuxue: “?”

Shocking! The villain who wished to drink her blood and eat her flesh, driving her to ruin, actually said good night to her! Is this a distortion of human nature, a loss of morality, or… is Yun Ning planning to make a big move?!

But that can’t be right. The TV drama was funded by Yun Ning; she wouldn’t sacrifice such a lucrative opportunity for revenge, would she?

Yu Liuxue didn’t think Yun Ning was that impulsive.

Yet she couldn’t figure it out. After returning to her bedroom in a daze, Yu Liuxue directed her anger at her son, Xiao Kewei. As soon as he answered the phone, his mother unleashed a torrent of scolding, “Xiao Kewei! If you’re not back within half an hour, you’d better not let me catch you, or I’ll break your legs on the spot!”

Xiao Kewei immediately pleaded, “I’m coming back, I’m on my way!”

In truth, after sneaking out of the house, he hadn’t gone far and was loitering nearby, even ordering some skewers. Once Yu Liuxue issued her threat, Xiao Kewei didn’t dare touch his food and hurried back, “Imperial Mother.”

Yu Liuxue wrapped herself in a coat and opened the door, looking at him expressionlessly, “Why did you come back? You still know how to come back?”

Xiao Kewei: “…” Weren’t you the one who told me to return?

“It’s late at night, don’t disturb my rest.” With that, she closed the door again and comfortably admired the exquisite script she had just written.

Xiao Kewei: “…” I must have been a bonus gift when she topped up her phone credit.

After half a month’s effort, the first and second episodes of the TV drama were finally filmed. As soon as filming wrapped, a delighted Meng Xi personally delivered the footage to the editing room. With ample funding from Yun Ning’s investment, Meng Xi extravagantly hired the world’s best editor, instructing him to do a good job or face a pay cut. The editor readily agreed, “I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Once the video was edited, it could be broadcast for profit. Meng Xi’s newly established studio quickly prepared the posters and wrote the promotional copy, waiting for Meng Xi’s go-ahead to launch the advertising campaign.

As soon as Yu Liuxue received the poster and copy, she immediately posted on Weibo, “Little darlings, want to meet up?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Aunt Xiao called me darling, which practically means we’re married!”

“Wake up, upstairs, stop dreaming!”

“When, when? Let’s meet! Auntie, fly free, the moon will always accompany you!”

Seeing the inquiries, Yu Liuxue promptly replied, “Not confirmed yet, but follow the official Weibo for surprises.”

Perhaps due to the inherent popularity of Xiao Yuetong’s name, the drama’s title trended on social media that night, drawing immense attention. This left Meng Xi’s prepared five million yuan advertising budget unused. She stared at her phone screen and suddenly laughed, “Aunt Xiao must be feeling sorry for my recent exhaustion, so she’s being considerate and helping me solve this headache.”

She put down her phone, “No need for promotion, withdraw all the plans.”

After the first two episodes were edited, Meng Xi checked them, and then Yu Liuxue reviewed them as well. Both agreed they were ready, so they scheduled the airing for Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 PM. Once the time was set, Meng Xi’s studio quickly rushed out the posters, but this time Yu Liuxue didn’t immediately post on Weibo. Instead, she first posted on Moments: “The ugly daughter-in-law is finally meeting the in-laws.”

As expected, this statement was deliberately taken out of context on Weibo: “Xiao Yuetong’s romance rumored to be exposed! Xiao Yuetong is about to meet the parents of her boyfriend, who is twenty years her junior, to discuss marriage!”

Fans: “…?”

Who? Which scheming boy dares to steal our auntie?!

The internet erupted into a thorough search, with gossip enthusiasts almost turning Yu Liuxue’s Weibo upside down. After a half-day of silence, Yu Liuxue finally responded on Weibo, “Who’s calling me ugly?”

This ambiguous attitude seemed to make the online rumors even more believable. As fans rolled on the ground in anguish, the official Weibo finally released the poster: “Tomorrow night at 7:30, the popular new starlet Xie Zhenxue and our uniquely talented screenwriter Xiao Yuetong will present the new drama “Her Me” to everyone!”

Only then did people understand that Xiao Yuetong’s Moments post was about this, “***”

“You scared me, I almost thought I was going to lose Aunt Xiao forever, luckily, Aunt Xiao isn’t divorcing me.”

“You’re dreaming.”

After a small promotional stir, “Her Me” premiered on Q Station⁵ as scheduled.

At 7:30, whether they were genuine fans, troublemakers looking for screenshots, or idle onlookers, everyone stared at the synopsis, lost in thought.

【To get revenge on my cheating ex-boyfriend, I toyed with the hearts of everyone around him, including his powerful parents, his angelic sister, and his white moonlight whom he saw as salvation…】

Wait!

Is this for real?!

“One star pre-order. I see it now, Xiao Yuetong is trying to ride the wave of controversial fame to make money, no wonder she chose to air the new drama on a low-tier video platform. How could such a lousy script pass review?”

“I’ve never understood why a screenwriter like her hasn’t been banned from the Entertainment Industry? Can’t we blacklist such unprofessional screenwriters? The current atmosphere and market are polluted by people like her.”

Some, who only read the synopsis without watching the actual episode, posted screenshots on various social media platforms, criticizing it righteously. As a result, those who hadn’t had a chance to watch the drama lost interest after consuming the gossip and joined the chorus of criticism against Xiao Yuetong.

A small number of fans, braving the storm of melodrama, nervously clicked on the video, trusting that their beloved Aunt Xiao wouldn’t really serve them a load of crap.

The drama opened with a scene of warm red silk curtains. Xie Zhenxue, wearing pajamas that shimmered like pink pearls, revealing a bare shoulder, embraced the second female lead, “Sister, my chest hurts.”

!

Is it this intense?! Yu Liuxue’s fans were stunned, and so were Xie Zhenxue’s fans. Their little idol had always maintained a pure image since debut, yet Xiao Yuetong had her nearly stripped down, taking a seductive turn. What was she up to? Was she trying to exploit their idol for hype to achieve her goals?

Xie Zhenxue’s fans immediately stormed Yu Liuxue’s Weibo, “You heartless woman! Shameless! Please spare our Zhenxue! If you’re so bold, do it yourself. What do you gain from bullying our Zhenxue?”

Although Xie Zhenxue’s fans were very displeased, the dramatic opening and the stunning looks of the main and secondary female leads quickly boosted viewership numbers. Some fans excitedly took screenshots to share on Weibo, forums, and group chats, promoting everywhere, “The most melodramatic drama of the year, are you in?”

The screenshot depicted Xie Zhenxue and the second female lead embracing: Xie Zhenxue had a slight frown, with hints of melancholy and disappointment between her brows. The second female lead sported a sleek hairstyle, fiery red lips, and a sharp suit, exuding a crisp and efficient aura. The two stunning individuals held each other, and with one of them half-exposing a shoulder, the visual impact was beyond imagination!

Everyone was instantly captivated, unable to resist excitedly rubbing their hands and opening Q Station.

Yu Liuxue had been browsing real-time comments on Weibo, where exclamations and question marks filled the screen. She curled her lips in satisfaction, “I knew it, I’m a genius! System, look, they all love the script I wrote!”

System: “…” They were just intrigued by such a melodramatic plot they had never seen before.

Yu Liuxue watched with great interest. Meanwhile, Xie Zhenxue, who had been quite anxious, noticed that while her fans protested her sudden change in direction, other viewers praised her acting and beauty, which made her very happy. She pressed her lips together and looked down with a satisfied smile. She knew Aunt Xiao definitely had the ability to make her famous.

She believed that starring in this TV drama was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

The praise on Weibo continued, and after a dozen minutes, even the fans’ attitudes began to change. They cursed Xiao Yuetong while confessing to Xie Zhenxue. At that moment, Xie Zhenxue’s heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

Her heart swelled, warm and full.

All of this was thanks to Aunt Xiao. Without her, she wouldn’t have gained such popularity so quickly. Aunt Xiao’s script was interesting, and the audience feedback was excellent. Xie Zhenxue believed that by the end of the drama, she would surely join the ranks of top-tier popular actors.

After reveling in her joy for a long time, Xie Zhenxue couldn’t help but get up, find a beautifully wrapped gift box, and prepare to visit and thank Yu Liuxue. She had long wanted to give Aunt Xiao a gift but hadn’t found the right opportunity until now, which was perfect and justified.

She carefully dressed up before heading out.

Yu Liuxue didn’t expect Xie Zhenxue to come over so late, so when she appeared in front of Xie Zhenxue, she was only wearing pajamas. Her graceful figure was faintly visible through the thin fabric, causing Xie Zhenxue to blush immediately and look down in embarrassment, not daring to meet her gaze.

She handed the gift box to Yu Liuxue, stammering, “Aunt Xiao, thank you so much for writing such a wonderful script. I don’t know how to thank you, so, so…”

Xie Zhenxue had prepared her words of gratitude, but for some reason, upon seeing Yu Liuxue, she felt those words were unworthy of her Aunt Xiao. Her heart raced, and an inexplicable feeling slowly spread, as if…

She wanted to possess her like in the script, forbidding anyone else from approaching her. She wanted to keep her treasured and locked away, unseen by anyone but herself.

Xie Zhenxue was startled by her sudden thought, taking a small step back in panic, eyes wide with shock.

Yu Liuxue looked at the protagonist with a head full of questions. The protagonist’s ghostly expression made her instinctively glance behind her, only to find no one there. Yu Liuxue suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She approached Xie Zhenxue, unable to resist reaching out to feel her forehead, “Are you feeling unwell…”

In response, Xie Zhenxue trembled slightly, her clear eyes suddenly becoming misty. Despite wanting to avoid her touch, she gritted her teeth and obediently let Yu Liuxue feel her, looking so pure and compliant that it was impossible to resist.

Yu Liuxue swallowed hard, “Zhenxue, I understand your feelings, but it’s late now. You should go back.”

Being urged to leave like this, Xie Zhenxue felt an inexplicable sense of loss. She stared blankly at Yu Liuxue, then, as if making a significant decision, cautiously asked, “Aunt Xiao, can I stay tonight?”

Afraid Yu Liuxue might misunderstand, she quickly added, “My fans didn’t mean it. They don’t know how wonderful you are, so they said things that hurt you. Aunt Xiao, I’m willing to apologize on their behalf. You can punish me however you like.”

Yu Liuxue raised an eyebrow in surprise, “Anything?”

Perhaps her tone was a bit ambiguous, causing Xie Zhenxue’s heart to race, her face turning crimson as if it might bleed. She bit her lip, pondering for a long time before finally responding with a racing heart and a hint of anticipation, “Yes. As long as Aunt Xiao likes…”

“Alright then.” Yu Liuxue swallowed and was about to continue.

“Mom?!” Xiao Kewei stood incredulously at the door. In the middle of the night, his own mother was attempting to seduce his girlfriend?! He instinctively shielded Yun Ning behind him, unable to help but wonder if Yun Ning, who had been staying at their house for so long, had also been… by his mom?!

Yu Liuxue instinctively looked up, only to see Yun Ning, who was being protected by her son, pulling a wry smile. Her gaze fell on the disappointed Xie Zhenxue. After meeting Xie Zhenxue’s eyes, she turned her gaze back to Yu Liuxue with a half-smile, slowly saying, “Aunt Xiao, I brought an eye mask and handcuffs tonight.”

“Do you have any other instructions?”
