The pain penetrated to the bone, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Her face turned pale in an instant, but nothing compared to the anguish in her heart. Was she really so worthless, allowing him to trample on her like this?
Xia Yixiang forced herself to sit up and met his sharp gaze. "Shaoyi, why are you so obsessed? She left without a word, yet you insist on bringing her back. The person I admire should be able to summon women at will, but what kind of potion did she give you to confuse you like this?!"
"If you're not satisfied, you can leave at any time. No one is forcing you to stay here." He tightened his deep-set eyes, and a murderous aura filled the space between his brows.
Xia Yixiang bit her lip tightly, suddenly realizing something and bursting into laughter. "You really love her so much that you've lost all sense of reason!" Her gaze shifted sharply as she met his fierce eyes, and the smile at the corners of her lips carried a hint of cruelty. "Have you forgotten how Yu Qiao died? Do you want this tragedy to repeat itself? I suddenly feel sorry for Yu Qiao; I thought her death would teach you a lesson, but it seems you're still so heartless."
Shangguan Shaoyi's breath hitched in anger. "Why bring Yu Qiao into this?"
"If you don't bring Yu Qiao into this, how can you see your own selfishness?" Xia Yixiang's pupils were filled with explosive anger, and the cold treatment she had endured from the Shangguan Family over the past few days made her unable to hold back. "In your eyes, we are all inferior creatures; only you and your Cheng Mo Su are human. We deserve to be treated with such indifference, discarded and used without dignity, right?"
Shangguan Shaoyi paused, a fierce look in his brows. He reached for the gun at his waist and aimed it directly at her head. "Do you know what will happen if you completely provoke me?"
"Hmph, what could happen? Isn't it just death?" Xia Yixiang scoffed. "I want to see how much sin you can create and how many women you can drive to their deaths with your coldness."
"Very well." Shangguan Shaoyi snorted coldly and cocked the gun. The crisp sound echoed in her ears as she closed her eyes, making a final farewell in her heart.
"Young Master!" A hurried footstep sounded from outside the door. "Young Master, Young Mistress has returned! She's downstairs!"
Shangguan Shaoyi tensed up, slowly retracting his gun. His gaze flicked past Xia Yixiang as he exited the room. He stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at Cheng Mo Su. Cheng Mo Su still appeared calm and elegant, standing quietly in the middle of the hall talking to Shangguan Yiting. Her expression slightly changed as her eyes drifted toward his handsome face.
He maintained a serious demeanor; his sharp brows and bright eyes showed no sign of wavering. His lips pressed into a cold line, emotions swirling in his gaze that he could not conceal.
Cheng Mo nodded slightly to Shangguan Yiting and walked over to Shangguan Shaoyi's side.
“Shaoyi, I…” Before he could finish his sentence, he grabbed her delicate wrist, the thin layer of callus on his long fingertips rubbing against her tender skin. She frowned slightly, but saw his sword-like brows furrow even more.
“I just…” Before she could speak, he tightened his grip around her slender waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace, the anger in his eyes erupting uncontrollably. “You want to leave again!”
Her watery eyes widened slightly as she hurriedly explained, “I’m not leaving; I’m just staying at Yeh Zhenzhen’s house for a couple of days.”
“Then why didn’t you say goodbye?” His voice softened a bit but still carried a sharp edge.
She had never felt such intense anger from him before and was momentarily taken aback. Seeing his gaze fixed on her in a daze, she lowered her head and said, “I intended to call you, but our relationship had deteriorated so much recently that I really didn’t know how to start.”
He paused for a moment. Her gentle voice and delicate expression settled deep in his heart, making it hard for him to continue blaming her. He sighed silently, his tone becoming gentler. “Then you should have left a note or something; don’t make me worry like this.”
“I did leave a note; it’s in my room.” Cheng Mo looked at him in confusion. “What? Didn’t you see it?” Shangguan Shaoyi frowned tightly and shook his head. Cheng Mo turned to look at Shangguan Yiting, who also shook her head, indicating she hadn’t seen it either.
Cheng Mo felt puzzled, a shadow crossing her furrowed brows. “How could that be? I clearly put it in the most obvious place.”
Suddenly, Shangguan Yiting’s expression changed as fragments of earlier events connected in her mind. “When I came back today, I asked Yi Xiang to go to your room to call for you. She went but said no one answered the door. That’s when I went up and found you weren’t home. If you left a note, it must have been taken by Yi Xiang.”
Shangguan Shaoyi’s gaze darkened as he led Cheng Mo back into the room. Xia Yixiang remained in the same position on the floor, allowing the chill to envelop her.
Shangguan Shaoyi didn’t look at her but spoke gently to Cheng Mo. “Where did you put the note?”
"This is it." Su pointed at the desk, but there were only a few books and some paintings on it, nothing else.
Shangguan Shaoyi's brows furrowed tighter, and his expression darkened significantly. A gentle breeze blew through the window, lifting her hair. She tucked a loose strand behind her ear and lowered her gaze, searching but never finding the note. Rose-Colored Lips murmured lightly, "Strange, I didn't open the window when I left, so it couldn't have been blown away."
She turned to look at Shangguan Shaoyi's face and realized that he hadn't seen her note at all. She understood why he was so anxious and angry. Her nose tinged with a hint of sadness as she bit her lip, "I'm sorry, Shaoyi. I didn't mean to worry you. I didn't expect the note to suddenly be gone; I just realized I forgot something and came back to get it. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what might have happened..."
Shangguan Shaoyi's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the turbulent waves in his heart gradually calmed down. His pitch-black eyes fell on her serene and beautiful face; her skin was as fair and luminous as snow, and the smile at the corners of her lips was shallow yet charming. Her sparkling gaze drew him deeper into his feelings.
"Just coming back is enough." He pulled her into an embrace, her hair brushing against his cheek, the fresh scent making his heart flutter.
Shangguan Yiting watched this scene unfold before him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed the situation and no longer felt kindly towards Xia Yixiang. "Miss Xia, they haven't seen each other for days and miss each other dearly. Why should we stand here being bothersome?"
Xia Yixiang was taken aback, stubbornly standing still without moving. Shangguan Yiting rolled his eyes and reached out to pull her, but she remained unmoving like a statue.
