In the office, Ling Chen held onto a wet towel and lightly touched Zhang Xiao Xiao's injured face. Even so, Zhang Xiao Xiao still took in a breath of cold air from the pain.

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well." Ling Chen's eyes were filled with worry.

"Uncle, I don't want to go to work anymore." After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Xiao Xiao still spoke up.

Unexpectedly, Ling Chen only patted Zhang Xiao's head gently and said, "Alright, if you don't go to work, then so be it."

The little girl had been so busy recently that he could see all of it. He couldn't bear to see her at all, as he was the one who had come to do all this work, and his little girl should be happy at home.

But when she saw Zhang Xiao Xiao's expression of motivation, and how he couldn't say anything to stop her from working, Ling Chen could only endure it in her heart and let her be happy. Now that Zhang Xiao Xiao said that he didn't want to work, she wished even more.

As expected, Ling Chen kept his promise. Early the next morning, the headlines in the newspapers were once again seized by this man who had just published his cover two days ago. The same thing was published, the same thing, and the news of Ling Chen annulling the engagement was written on it.

However, the report only wrote that Ling Chen and An Qinghuan were not on good terms, and announced that they would break off the engagement, but did not mention anything about Zhang Xiao Xiao.

This was also what Ling Chen had requested. Right now, C City was still very chaotic, there were too many people who became enemies with him. If they chose to expose Zhang Xiao Xiao at this time, it was very possible that someone would take the opportunity to kidnap Zhang Xiao Xiao in order to seek revenge.

In the dark room, a man with phoenix-like eyes was lying lazily on the sofa with his arms casually resting on the edge. In his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, lay two peerless beauties. At this moment, the three of them were happily chatting about something.

The door was suddenly opened. The light that shone in from outside caused the woman inside to be unable to open her eyes.

"Young Master." A man in black clothes walked in expressionlessly and passed a document in his hand to the man.

The man received it with a slightly sunken expression. He sat up, and didn't look at the two women next to him anymore. "You may leave."

The two women behind him exchanged a glance before obediently retreating.

Only then did the man open the document and take out the contents. His slender almond-shaped eyes narrowed as he saw the contents within and sneered, "When did my cousin's judgement become so bad that he gave up such a great opportunity to cooperate with the An clan for the sake of a matchstick girl?"

The piece of paper in his hand had all of Xiao Xiao's personal information printed on it. After taking a look, he casually threw the documents away and leaned back on the sofa.

"Young Master, this is a good thing for us." The black-clothed man's face revealed a joyous expression.

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows.

"The Ling Family and the An Family had completely fallen out because of this matter. It would be easier for us to overthrow the Ling Family."

Moreover, the black clothed man paused for a moment before continuing, "The old man from the An clan has always been willing to let young master be his son-in-law. If not for the fact that An Qinghuan had always liked Ling Chen and wanted to marry him, Ling Chen would not even be the An family's son-in-law, right? "

The man sneered and hummed a tune before saying, "But what do we do? The young lady just doesn't like me."

When the black clothed man heard him, he sneered, which was because An Qinghuan had never seen his young master before. His young master had always kept a low profile, and his brothers from the Su family and the outside world even participated in meetings, so he rarely appeared.

What An Qinghuan liked about Ling Chen, was her face, but when it came to her appearance, her young master was many times stronger than Ling Chen.

"Moreover, just based on the An clan, he wants to build a relationship with our Su Clan. What a beautiful idea." The man laughed coldly and sat up, "All these years, not counting the An clan's original strength, just based on the businesses that I've been working on outside, I've already been able to create quite a bit of pressure for the Ling family."

The man in black lowered his head, "You are right, young master." The gazes that he lowered his head to have a hint of respect. He had been working hard behind the young master for many years now, and he had seen all of his iron-blooded methods.

The man snorted and shifted his gaze to the piece of paper on the floor.

"Zhang Xiao Xiao..." He softly read out the name written on it, "What kind of charm does this woman have to be able to make my usually cold-hearted big brother become angry for her?"

The man in black shook his head. He didn't know either, but … Thinking of something, he frowned, and his eyes flashed: "Young Master, I heard that this woman slapped An Qinghuan twice."

Oh? The eyes of the paralyzed man on the sofa lit up and he stood up with interest. "Really?"

It was absolutely true. The black clothed man nodded his head: "Someone personally saw An Qinghuan run out of Ling Chen's company while covering her face and crying that day."

"Interesting, really interesting …" The man's smile widened.

Who would have thought that Ling Chen would actually take a fancy to a little pepper? That An Qinghuan was the apple of Old Master An's eye and had been pampered ever since she was young, who would have the guts to touch her finger?

It was no wonder that Ling Chen would choose her. The man already understood that at this moment, he had also gained a sliver of interest towards the woman, and silently took her name in his heart once more. The man stood up and walked over to the French window and looked out at the scenery.

He was determined to take this woman in — as long as it was someone that Ling Chen fancied, he would not hesitate to snatch her away at any cost.

At the same time, Zhang Xiao Xiao shivered, his body shrunk. He frowned, he stopped what he was doing and asked in concern: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiao Xiao gently shook her head. It was just that in that instant, she had a strange feeling.

"Is that so? "Then let's continue." Ling Chen laughed sinisterly, and continued to stretch his waist. Zhang Xiao Xiao quickly slumped under Ling Chen's body and let out a small snort, scratching out line after line of red marks on the man's bare back.

The man groaned. His body movements became even more violent as he hugged Zhang Xiao Xiao and repeated the same eternally unchanging movement.
