Three meters away from the bed…

Two meters…

One meter…

The person’s hand slowly reached towards her…

Xia Jinmian could feel all of this.

Before the person’s hand could touch her, she grabbed the dagger and quickly attacked behind her.

Ye Mohan’s pupils constricted. Fortunately, he dodged in time. Otherwise, that ruthless dagger would have cut off his palm.

“It’s you!”

Xia Jinmian’s consecutive attacks were dodged. She immediately realized that the intruder was that f*cking a*shole.

“How dare you follow me!”

He even followed her to the Emperor Garden!

Xia Jinmian felt that this f*cking a*shole was extremely despicable!

Their grievances could be resolved in private elsewhere. Why did he follow her here?

This was the “home” that she had finally found after being homeless for two lifetimes!

She did not want to implicate Uncle, Aunt, and Bubba into her personal affairs. She did not want them to be disappointed with her.

Xia Jinmian suddenly put away her dagger—glared at the tall man in front of her—and said coldly, “Let’s go outside and settle this!”

Ye Mo’s deep and dark eyes looked at Xia Jinmian gloomily. Suddenly, his thin lips parted slightly.

“Looks like it’s fate.”

“Fate my a*s! Listen, f*cking a*shole. If you dare to mess around here, I’ll definitely kill you!”

Xia Jinmian glared daggers at the man. She was brimming with murderous intent.

Ye Mohan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was curious. This lass’ identity was very simple—an orphan in Luo City Orphanage.

But how did this bloodthirsty killing intent come about?

And how did her formidable martial prowess come about?

She was like a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma that he needed to slowly unravel.

“Xia Jinmian, are you really just an orphan?”

Xia Jinmian taunted, “Despicable! You stole my blood sample to investigate my identity. You only know how to play dirty!”

Ye Mohan’s dark eyes glinted dangerously. He raised his foot and took a step closer to Xia Jinmian.

“You really think I won’t come down on you?”

A tall and imposing figure loomed over Xia Jinmian. She took a step back in fear.

“You’d better not mess around. I kill without batting an eyelid!”

Ye Mohan took another step closer. His dark eyes were darker than the night; and his voice was low and cold, teeming with danger.

“It seems that I have to sort you out, sooner or—” He suddenly paused and said meaningfully, “—later.”

Xia Jinmian was forced to take a few steps back. Her back was pressed against the desk.

Before she could resist, the man suddenly took the dagger from her hand and threw it out.

Twang! It landed on the tall wall, stuck firmly.

Then, Xia Jinmian witnessed the man’s true strength.

She was rendered helpless as the man frisked her.

Xia Jinmian was exasperated. No one had ever dared to so blatantly outrage her modesty!

“F*cking a*shole… Mmm!”

Before she could finish reviling him, the man pinched her cheeks so hard that she felt her face must have been deformed.

She was unable to utter a word and could only glare daggers at him.

Ye Mohan was surprised to find that this lass’ face was very soft. It even felt… comfortable to pinch it.

“Cursing the moment you open your mouth. Who did you learn that from?”

“Mmm… Mmm… Mmm!” That f*cking a*shole!

Xia Jinmian resisted, but she was throwing straws into the wind. The man locked her firmly.

“You’re very cautious. It’s a smart move not to have the jade ring on you.”

“Mmm… Mmm… Mmm!” That f*cking a*shole!

Ye Mohan’s dark eyes narrowed. This lass had a fiery temper. He admired her tenacity and unwillingness to yield.

However, she was her own worst enemy by refusing to admit defeat in the face of a stronger opponent.

He suddenly flipped her body onto his thigh.

Xia Jinmian felt the world spin around her. Then, her chest hit a hard thigh.

Ye Mohan raised his hand and was about to slap Xia Jinmian’s butt when his body suddenly froze!

He seemed to have been inadvertent.
