Chapter 35

"Is this how she could behave before us?!"

Everyone in the Xiao family was clearly displeased with what Xiao Qingcheng had done.

Xiao Hailong let out a faint sigh.

Xiao Qingcheng had declared that from now on she would've nothing to do with the Xiao family. Even if she hadn't, the Xiao family had already planned to sever ties with Xiao Qingcheng!

Previously, everyone in the Xiao family believed that with Young Master Li's love for Xiao Qingcheng, they could easily make connections with the top branches of the Li family.

After Xiao Qingcheng's marriage with the Young Master of the Li family, with Li family's influence, it was as easy as a hand's turn for their Xiao family to add up to the list of the four families of the Jinghai!

It wasn't that impossible for their Xiao family to become a Superfamily just under the Li family!

But now, everything was ruined because of Xiao Qingcheng's stubbornness.

Not only did she implicate the Xiao family, but she also had to go 'serve' Young Master Li.

As he thought to himself, Xiao Hailong didn't show the least bit of emotion.

Neither did he pity her nor felt sorry for her.

This was what Xiao Qingcheng brought it upon herself.

And this was what she was supposed to do!

After the death of his father, the burden of the entire Xiao family fell onto his shoulders.

As the Patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Hailong had to attach most importance to the interests of his Xiao family.

Even his own daughter was insignificant for him!

As he thought to himself, Xiao Hailong didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Although he was aware that Li Mubai was extremely fond of Xiao Qingcheng, according to what happened the previous night, he couldn't guarantee that just with Xiao Qingcheng begging Young Master Li, she would be able to save his Xiao family.

So, he had no choice but to show the sincerity of his Xiao family.

But, he didn't know how to do it.

In the younger generation of his Xiao family, there seems to be a lot of...

Ahem...

Beautiful women...

*****

On the other hand.

Just the way Xiao Qingcheng sped down the mountain, she had to walk step by step to return back.

At the side of the swimming pool.

As Li Mubai who was taking his bath at noon saw this, his face was filled with mockery.

The corners of his mouth were raised revealing a playful smile.

Everything was under his expectations.

He didn't intend to eliminate the Xiao family!

What he wanted was Xiao Qingcheng to return back and beg him!

Although he could no longer gain any villain points and villain luck from her, he, nevertheless wanted to bully this ice-cold beauty in his spare time.

Li Mubai felt an indescribable satisfaction by doing so.

Especially if that happened to be Xiao Qingcheng who had a rare body constitution with foreign treasures waiting to be explored.

Well...

She was someone that one would forever desire.

He wouldn't just let go of someone like her...

"Young Master Li..."

There were tearstains hanging at the corners of her eyes.

With her clothes that were slightly wretched due to her rushing there, Xiao Qingcheng walked to Li Mubai's side gritting her teeth.

Unexpectedly, there was the sound of something falling to the ground.

The same sound one would hear when someone kneeled down.

"I beg you. Let the Xiao family go...

"I, Xiao Qingcheng, am willing to serve by your side for the rest of my life...

"I would do whatever you want me to do...

"I would never go back on my word...

"Huh?"

Li Mubai looked at her with a faint smile. He playfully smiled at her and asked. "Are you sure?"

He was aware that with Xiao Qingcheng's character, she would never break her promise.

She was even willing to trade herself for a lifetime in return for him to let go of the Xiao family.

It seemed that the impact that she received from her own family members devastated her much more than what he had imagined.

"I, Xiao Qingcheng, swear that I never speak empty words!"

Lifting her head, Xiao Qingcheng said with a serious expression.

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Mubai gave her a slight nod. And then, he pulled Xiao Qingcheng up and took her in his arms.

"How do you feel? Don't you feel wronged?"

"I..."

Hearing these words, Xiao Qingcheng who had been suppressing her grievances, at this moment, was like a bursting dam...

Since childhood, never did anyone care about her feelings.

No one had ever asked about her grievances!

To her surprise, Li Mubai was the one that was concerned about her.

Xiao Qingcheng's beautiful pair of eyes couldn't help but stare into Li Mubai's eyes. Her previous pent-up grievances gushed out again.

Of course, it wasn't because of her admiration.

It was just a form of gratitude.

She would've never thought that the person who was the most insensitive to her was also the one who understood her grievances the most.

...

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior caused Xiao Qingcheng to be grateful to you, making her feel moved, rewarding 2000+ villain points!]

"Um..."

Li Mubai knitted his brows.

According to how things currently turned out, Xiao Qingcheng would sooner or later fall in love with him.

A mere two thousand villain points weren't that significant for him.

On the contrary, if Xiao Qingcheng starts to become fond of him, it would instead make him feel very bored.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Lifting his hand, he flipped Xiao Qingcheng over again and...

"Well..."

The view of Jinghai in the daytime was quite different from before.

*****

"Young Master, Xiao Hailong is still at the foot of the mountain. He says he wants to meet you in person and hand over compensation gift from the Xiao family..."

Dong Xue who was at the side informed with a somewhat blushing face.

Li Mubai shot her an angry look. "Can you not see your young master admiring the scenery? Tell him to continue to wait at the foot of the mountain!"

"Yes, young master!"

Dong Xue nodded in embarrassment.

Xia He who was at the side poked her and asked. "Damn girl, why did you inform young master about that?!"

However, Dong Xue gave her a meaningful glance.

Xia He immediately whispered. "ooh, You stinky sister, you had actually done it on purpose!"

Xia He had figured it out in an instant.

Her twin sister was way more two-faced than her.

Of course, Dong Xue's 'intention' wasn't to disturb Li Mubai.

Her true 'intention' was to let Xiao Qingcheng know of the news...

She wanted this ice-cold lady president to feel a sense of endless humiliation and let her spirit crumble into pieces!
