This was the first time Cheng Yang had heard someone think of him as a good person.

He looked at the little girl who had been afraid of him just a moment ago. Now, she was daring to get so close to him.

He was even more curious about why she had tried so hard to get close to him.

He wondered if it was because of her family.

Something had indeed happened to the Xiao family’s company recently.

Cheng Yang’s indulgence made Xiao Ying become even more unrestrained. She stole a glance at his face.

She thought about the energy that had risen after she kissed him.

She considered the possibility of doing it again.

As she was thinking, Cheng Yang threw her onto the couch.

The couch was soft and it did not hurt at all when she fell on it.

However, her eyes shifted as she clutched her little butt and cried out in pain.

Just as she shouted, she was stopped by Cheng Yang’s words.

“If you dare to cry, you can go back to the Xiao family.”

Xiao Ying silently suppressed the tears that had just appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Cheng Yang’s back view as he walked out of the room.

Seeing that he really didn’t care about her, Xiao Ying slowly wiped the expression off her face.

With a cold look, she picked up her backpack and walked towards the room Cheng Yang had pointed out to her.

Cheng Yang saw the change in her expression on the surveillance camera in his room.

This girl was indeed not simple.

Cheng Yang didn’t think it was dangerous at all, just interesting.

However, Xiao Ying approached him with a motive.

As long as she could make him find her interesting, he wouldn’t mind letting her have her way.

Xiao Ying slowly walked to the door.

She pushed it open and felt a little guilty when she saw the dark room.

Especially when she thought about how Cheng Yang had become a serial murderer in her previous life.

If he hadn’t self-destructed, the police wouldn’t have been able to find him.

Xiao Ying gulped.

She did not know when Cheng Yang’s interest in killing had developed.

She stepped forward and turned on the lights.

The bright lights stifled her scary thoughts.

She dragged her exhausted body to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, she half-closed her eyes and walked towards the bed in a daze.

She fell asleep on the bed.

Waiting outside the club earlier, Xiao Ying had already been extremely sleepy.

Previously, when she had faced Cheng Yang, she had had to be extremely alert.

Now that he had relaxed, he was completely out of options.

Fortunately, she had successfully stayed by Cheng Yang’s side. This was what she had decided to do when she came out today.

It was not easy to meet Cheng Yang. She had to take a few classes in the next few days.

Xiao Ying had already fallen asleep.

However, Cheng Yang could not drift off.

Sitting behind his desk, he was looking at Xiao Ying’s information.

He had originally wanted to find out why Xiao Ying was able to find out about his movements so quickly.

Unexpectedly, he had not found the reason. Instead, he had found something interesting.

Xiao Ying was not the daughter of the Xiao Family. Xiao Ruoxuan, who they had just been reunited with, was the real daughter.

This girl must have known long ago.

Furthermore, Xiao Ruoxuan’s return to the Xiao Family was entirely Xiao Ying’s doing.

Cheng Yang admired Xiao Ying now.

She was young and had a good mind.

Placing the documents on the table, Cheng Yang rubbed his eyebrows.

He thought about how Xiao Ying had known of his whereabouts.

Could it be that she had spies from the Xiao Family on her side?

He immediately discarded this speculation.

The Xiao Family did not have those kinds of resources. Furthermore, Xiao Ying would not do anything for her family.

Then why had Xiao Ying approached him?

Cheng Yang tossed out his previous guesses one by one.

He felt that there were numerous mysteries surrounding Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying stuck to her usual habit and slept until noon.

Xiao Ying, who did not mind being in a strange bed, had a good sleep.

When she woke up, she stretched and felt very comfortable.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she froze for a moment before remembering that this was Cheng Yang’s house.

She looked out of the window at the bright sky.

Then she turned mechanically to look at the clock on the table.

It was exactly 12 o’clock.

She hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
