Xia Qiu walked toward the room following the woman’s voice. The door was slightly ajar when she arrived, and a ray of light shone from inside. Xia Yan heard the woman’s sweet voice, “Mo He, I noticed that you haven’t eaten much today. How could you do that?”

“You can’t put your health aside for someone as ugly as Xia Yan. I’ll feel sorry for you if you do that.”

Xia Yan wrinkled her nose when she heard those words. It was evident that she wasn’t satisfied with the woman’s deliberate belittling, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

Mo He immediately caught sight of Xia Yan as she entered, and his expression turned cold. “Why did you come here?!”

Qiu Xin, who leaned against Mo He, was startled by the woman’s sudden appearance. After discovering that it was the ugly freak Xia Yan, she intentionally moved closer to Mo He. “Hey, aren’t you the famous ugly second miss of the Xia family?”

Qiu Xin’s words were painfully straightforward, but Xia Yan didn’t even acknowledge her. She walked to the other side of Mo He and reached for the bowl of chicken soup on the bedside table.

Qiu Xin shouted and snatched the bowl away. “What are you doing?!”

Xia Yan sniffed and looked at the bowl of chicken soup. “Isn’t that made for someone to eat? I haven’t eaten much today, and I can’t even have some of my husband’s soup?”

“What did you say?!” Qiu Xin screamed as if a needle had pricked her while Mo He furrowed his eyebrows tightly. It was evident he was irritated by Qiu Xin’s sharp scream.

Xia Yan stretched out a finger and dug her ear. “Please stop screaming in the middle of the night. Speaking of the middle of the night, who are you? Why are you so close to my husband?”

Hearing Xia Yan’s words, Qiu Xin’s face turned red. “Mo He isn’t your husband. He’s my…”

“Your what?” Xia Yan asked without hesitation. Qiu Xin was shocked as she didn’t know how to describe her relationship with Mo He.

Xia Yan revealed a menacing smile as she walked toward Mo He, forcing Qiu Xin to step backward. “What’s that? You don’t know what to say? You came to my husband’s side in the middle of the night, and if news of this gets out, it wouldn’t sound good no matter what you say.”

Xia Yan forced Qiu Xin to back paddle, almost bumping into the cabinet behind her. “Or are you doing this on purpose so others would think that you and my husband have some unspeakable secrets?”

Xia Yan refused to let up and continued to pressure Qiu Xin. Suddenly, Mo He stood up as Xia Yan’s words became increasingly bolder.

“That’s enough! Leave here at once!”

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Mo He. “What’s the matter, hubby? Is your heart aching?”

Mo He felt like he would puke after hearing Xia Yan call him hubby. He grabbed Xia Yan’s jaw, causing the black mask to tighten. Mo He noticed the mask and thought of the terrifying face beneath it.

Mo He tightened his grip on Xia Yan’s face as she frowned. Xia Yan was dissatisfied with Mo He’s violent behavior.

Mo He glared at Xia Yan and sneered, “Since you’ve married into my family, you should be more obedient. You’re not allowed to leave your room without my permission! Didn’t Du Xia tell you that?”

Xia Yan could only blink as Mo He’s grip on her jaw made it difficult for her to breathe. Mo He looked at the way Xia Yan blinked, and for some reason, he felt like he was in a daze.

A woman with an ugly face possessed such alluring eyes. Seeing that Mo He was in a daze, Xia Yan had no intention of letting go of her power over him. She reached out and frantically patted Mo He’s arm.

Only then did Mo He come back to his senses and let go of Xia Yan. She was finally able to breathe. Xia Yan panted as her voluptuous curves billowed beneath her pajamas.

Mo He’s gaze instinctively fell from Xia Yan’s black mask to her billowing chest as a faint feminine fragrance drifted into his nose, putting him in a trance. Then he heard Qiu Xin anxiously calling out, “Mo He, are you all right?”

Qiu Xin stared blankly at Mo He as his gaze fixed on Xia Yan. This situation made Qiu Xin’s heart tighten and flustered for some reason.
