Xia Qianxing originally wanted to go back and treat her wounds, but before she reached the villa, her sister-in-law told her that Xiao Yueze wouldn't let her in.

Not knowing where to go, Xia Qianxing could only squat down outside the villa's entrance. The pain in her heart masked the pain in her body, and tears of grievance rolled down her face. She blankly stared at the darkening sky, her heart feeling even more sorrowful.

She suddenly missed her adoptive mother, that kind and gentle woman like an angel. If her adoptive mother was still alive, she would definitely feel sorry for her.

Xia Qianxing didn't know how long she had been sitting outside the door, but she unconsciously fell asleep due to exhaustion. It wasn't until a loud thunder that she woke up from her stupor. "Boom!"

Xia Qianxing opened his eyes and saw lightning crackling and thunder crackling in the sky.

Xia Qianxing tried her best to hide behind the white jade pillar. Although the pillar could shield her from the drifting rain, it couldn't block the wind that was everywhere.

Chilling gusts of wind blew towards her. Xia Qianxing, who was wearing only a thin short-sleeved shirt, shivered from the cold and felt chills all over her body.

Xia Qianxing tightly held onto her body to prevent the heat in her body from dissipating too quickly, but this wasn't going to last long. Plus, she had a fever before, and the fever had just subsided, so her body was already weak.

"So cold …" Xia Qianxing shivered as his face turned purple from the cold. Two rows of teeth were chattering nonstop.

Third floor of the mansion, in Xiao Yueze's bedroom.

Xiao Yueze stood by the wide window looking at the cold and shivering Xia Qianxing, but no emotion could be seen from his deep and cold pupils. After a while, he turned off the lights and went to sleep, not caring about Xia Qianxing's life or death.

Without Xiao Yueze's order, no one in the villa dared to stop Xia Qianxing. After an unknown amount of time, Xia Qianxing heard a series of footsteps. At first she thought she had misheard, until someone called her name.

"Thousand Star."

Xia Qianxing moved her neck, which was frozen stiff. She saw Cheng Qiulan holding up an umbrella, walking towards her.

"What a coincidence …" Xia Qianxing's purplish lips moved, but no sound came out.

Cheng Qiao Lan's heart ached as she watched Xia Qianxing embrace her into a ball. She quickly took out a thick down jacket and draped it over Xia Qianxing's body. "You must have frozen over. Quickly put on your clothes."

As Xia Qianxing was stiffly wearing her clothes, Cheng Qiao Lan could no longer bear to watch any further. She directly helped Xia Qianxing to put them on, and then held onto Xia Qianxing's cold little hand, exhaling continuously. When Xia Qianxing's hand was no longer as cold as before, she would stick her hand into her pocket.

After a long while, Xia Qianxing finally felt that her body wasn't as stiff as before. She gratefully looked at Cheng Qiulan and said, "Qiulan, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? We're friends after all." Cheng Qiao Lan used both hands to stroke Xia Qianxing's face and said apologetically: "Qianxing, I'm sorry. I should have come earlier, but I was afraid that Young Master would blame me, so I only dared to come over to see you now."

Xia Qianxing took Cheng Qiulan's hand off and let her put it in her pocket, "Your hand is still injured, don't catch a cold. "Also, I was really touched that you could come and bring me clothes. I didn't even have the time to thank you, how could I blame you?"

After putting on the warm down jacket, Xia Qianxing's body temperature finally recovered gradually, and her speech became a bit smoother.

After accompanying Xia Qianxing for a while, Cheng Qiulan had no choice but to leave, "Qianxing, I'm going back. Tonight, I can only let you suffer. You have to take care of your own warmth, don't let yourself be frozen."

Cheng Qiulan really wanted to bring Xia Qianxing to her room, but she was afraid that others would find out. If this matter was found out by Sis Xian, she would be in trouble and might even be dismissed.

In the villa, even if she was a maid, her salary was still tens of times higher than the salary outside. She really needed this job, so she couldn't lose it.

"Go, and be careful on the way." Xia Qianxing understood the difficulties Cheng Qiao Lan faced. In the entire Di Hao villa, she was already very satisfied that she met someone who truly treated her with respect. She didn't need that person to do anything for her.

With Cheng Qianxin's clothes, Xia Qianxing felt much better. At least she wouldn't feel as cold as she did before.

When it was 4 AM, the heavy rain finally stopped. Xia Qianxing had to hide somewhere to hide her clothes.

"Hiss ~"

When he stood up, Xia Qianxing felt more and more pain on his body. The wound from yesterday's injury was getting worse and worse.

After hiding his clothes, Xia Qianxing passed by that sea of roses. He didn't expect that after a night of violent storms, other than some fallen leaves, not a single one of the roses had fallen.

Xia Qianxing walked over to the flower bush and saw that she had crushed a rose. The flower petals were almost all fallen off. Xia Qianxing felt a bit bad thinking about how he had destroyed all these flowers.

After some thought, Xia Qianxing went to find a small shovel and helped the roses grow back into the soil.

Due to the fact that there were many spikes on the rose, Xia Qianxing had no choice but to carefully pick it up.

As the sky gradually brightened, the first thing Xiao Yueze did after he got up was to walk to the window. His line of sight landed on a corner of the door, but he couldn't find the woman's figure.

"Did she escape?" Xiao Yueze thought.

Xiao Yueze quickly walked downstairs. When his sister-in-law saw him, she quickly came to greet him. "Young Master, why don't you sleep more? breakfast is still not ready yet!"

Xiao Yueze's sharp eyes coldly looked at his sister-in-law, his eyes filled with coldness. "Where's that woman? "Where did you go?"

"I don't know where Miss Xia went. She wasn't outside the door when we opened this morning." Sis answered awkwardly.

"Find!" "Find that woman for me." Xiao Yueze roared.

The Di Hao villa was heavily guarded, no one could leave without Xiao Yueze's order. Thus, Xiao Yueze was sure that Xia Qianxing was still inside the mansion.

Sis Xian didn't dare delay any longer. She hurriedly ordered a few maids that were cleaning the place to find Xia Qianxing. Xiao Yueze waited for a while before also leaving.

Xiao Yueze's sharp eyes never let go of every corner of the villa, swimming pool, gym, movie studio... He went to every place, but he didn't see Xia Qianxing.

When he passed by the back garden, he saw a figure moving back and forth in the sea of roses. Xiao Yueze's gaze locked onto that figure, and then he walked towards it in large strides.

"What are you doing?" A cold voice sounded from behind Xia Qianxing.
