The moment they entered, Xia Sheng pushed Huo Ye onto the sofa forcefully. She tugged at Huo Ye’s tie and asked fiercely, “Tell me, why did you run away that day?!” If Huo Ye didn’t explain himself, she wouldn’t let him off easily. Not only was she eaten up, this person even ran away cowardly early in the morning.

Huo Ye used his hand to support Xia Sheng’s waist to prevent her from falling to the ground. There was a smile in his eyes, and he didn’t look like he wanted to explain at all.

Xia Sheng was even more dissatisfied and tugged at Huo Ye’s tie. As for Huo Ye, he was forced to raise his body to reduce the discomfort of his neck being strangled. She tugged at his tie again, her other hand not idle as she pinched the flesh on Huo Ye’s cheek and pulled.

“If you don’t tell me, you won’t be going anywhere today.”

Huo Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly pushed Xia Sheng’s hand away from his face and quickly kissed the corner of her lips. “You were very strong today and gave me a big surprise.”

Caught off guard and taken advantage of, Xia Sheng covered the place where she was kissed, her eyes wide open. She put on a fierce look and continued the previous topic. “Don’t change the topic!”

However, Huo Ye’s hands were not honest. They slowly moved along Xia Sheng’s slender waist and pulled her into his arms with a gentle push.

As the world turned upside down, he trapped Xia Sheng under him and supported his body to look at Xia Sheng, who was lying on the sofa.

“Since you miss me so much, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

On this uninvited afternoon, an erotic scene was brewing in the luxurious villa.

In the Song family, Song Qian was repeatedly humiliated by Xia Sheng and then threatened by her. These few days, she had been living in fear and only dared to show her face when Xia Sheng left.

Coincidentally, the Second Brother, Song Mingfei had returned and was discussing Xia Sheng with Mother Song. Song Mingfei was also very concerned about his newly found sister, but unfortunately, Xia Sheng was out.

Seeing that Song Mingfei was disappointed, Mother Song smiled reassuringly. “Sheng Sheng just has something on and will be back soon. You will be able to see her then.”

“Yes, that’s true.” Song Mingfei didn’t hesitate and returned a polite smile. “I’ve been very busy recently. I’ll return to my room first.”

When Song Mingfei returned to his room, Song Qian bit her lip and knocked on his door.

Song Mingfei opened the door and was surprised to see Song Qian. “Qianqian, why are you here?”

Hearing this, Song Qian felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Song Mingfei hurriedly pulled her into the room. “Tell me who bullied you?”

Tears fell to the ground. Song Qian tried to hold back her grievances and wiped them away. “No, I just miss you.”

However, she was clearly putting up a strong front. Song Mingfei was even more worried.

Song Mingfei pulled a long face and asked coldly, “Qianqian, tell me the truth. What happened?”

Unexpectedly, Song Qian only sobbed silently. It wasn’t until Song Mingfei’s shoulder was drenched that she stopped crying. She added fuel to the fire and told him that she had prepared a room for Xia Sheng out of goodwill. Of course, she did not want to make a fuss out of it.

She only said a few words to confuse Song Mingfei. Her eyes were red as she pretended to look pitifully at Song Mingfei. Her pitiful look made one’s heart ache.

“Second Brother, I’m just being nice. I don’t mean any harm.”

Song Mingfei felt depressed and was somewhat resentful. “How could Sheng Sheng misunderstand you?”

“I know Sheng Sheng has suffered a lot outside, but I also want to make it up to her from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know why she is so hostile to me. I can’t be blamed for changing my identity back then.”

If Xia Sheng was here, she would definitely roll her eyes at Song Qian’s pretentious behavior. It was a pity that Xia Sheng could not see her now, which only fueled Song Qian’s anger.

Song Qian continued to act pitiful, pretending to be magnanimous, “Second Brother, I just want to tell you, can you tell Sheng Sheng not to be so hostile towards me? I will work hard to please her in the future.”

Song Mingfei frowned, feeling that Xia Sheng had indeed done something wrong. He couldn’t help but comfort Song Qian again. He took the initiative to wipe her tears and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of it for you. When she comes back, we’ll talk things through.”

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Song Qian couldn’t hide the malice in her eyes. She pretended to be considerate and persuaded, “Second Brother, don’t be angry at Sheng Sheng because of me. Our family should be harmonious so Mom and Dad won’t worry.”

“You’re the only one whose good intentions were misunderstood by others. You even foolishly thought for others.” Song Mingfei sighed and shook his head, feeling even more emotional. Even now, Song Qian was still thinking about Xia Sheng.

Unexpectedly, Xia Sheng did not return the whole night. Song Mingfei had waited for an entire night and his face was extremely dark.

“Not returning home at night, how lawless!” He was so angry that he could not stand anything.

Song Qian saw the opportunity and immediately tried to persuade him, “Second Brother, don’t be angry. Sheng Sheng might have been held up by something outside, I’m sure she did not do it on purpose.”

Song Mingfei became even angrier. “No, this is not right, do you have her number?”

Song Qian quickly passed Xia Sheng’s phone to Song Mingfei. While Song Mingfei was on the phone, she said softly, “Second Brother, don’t scare Sheng Sheng. Tell her nicely. She will listen.”

Unfortunately, Song Mingfei was in a fit of anger and didn’t hear a single word.

Early in the morning, he dialed Xia Sheng’s number and planned to denounce her. Unfortunately, the call did not get through. He didn’t believe it and called again. This time, the call went through.

“Are you done early in the morning? If you call again, I’ll report you for harassment!” Xia Sheng had a bad temper from waking up. She shouted angrily before hanging up. She didn’t have Song Mingfei’s number in her phone, so she took it for harassment. After all, it was an unknown number. It was definitely not something good.

However, because of this call, Xia Sheng’s desire to sleep in was gone. She rubbed her eyes and moved her hands to the side, but she only felt the bed. She had expected Huo Ye to be lying beside her, but the blanket beside her had already turned cold and he was nowhere to be seen.

Thinking that the person had disappeared again, Xia Sheng’s eyes widened instantly. She abruptly sat up on the bed, lifted the blanket, and rushed out. The living room was empty. Even Huo Ye’s wheelchair was gone.

Xia Sheng’s face darkened. She left in a hurry and did not bring her phone with her. She rushed back to the bedroom to get it, intending to call someone to look for Huo Ye.

But before she reached the sofa, she heard a sound coming from the kitchen. She put down her phone and turned around to look for the sound.

Huo Ye wore a pink apron around his waist. He held a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other as he stir-fried something.

Waves of fragrance spread out, making Xia Sheng swallow her saliva..
