Shangguan Shaoyi was surrounded by darkness, his Handsome Face submerged in the pitch black, and his Eyes blended into the night. He silently pulled out a cigar, the faint voice echoing in his ears, but it grew further away. He exhaled a puff of smoke, and before him seemed to be her smile as she looked back in the first snow. She lowered her head, her beautiful brows exuding elegance. She nestled beside him, revealing a gentle smile.
The door was slowly pushed open. Without turning around, he already knew who had arrived and said, "What is it?"
Jiang Yating bit her red lips, her Eyes fixed on him. "Shaoyi, you haven't eaten dinner tonight; this isn't good..."
"You don't need to worry about it." He coldly rejected her. Jiang Yating sighed; the distance they had painstakingly closed was silently pulled apart again. She smiled lightly, her bright eyes and white teeth as usual. "In a few days, we will be gathering troops. If you continue like this, you won't be able to reclaim Feng Province."
Shangguan Shaoyi remained silent, pursing his lips. She continued, "Shaoyi, I know you're upset, but if you don't fight well, my father will blame me." She smiled lightly again. He glanced at her, his dark Eyes showing a hint of anger, his pupils reflecting a flicker of rage.
Provoking him made her even more pleased. "I know you don't want to hear anything about my Father, but there's no way around it. If you marry me, you'll be bound to him for life!" She didn't understand why she wanted to see him angry; perhaps it was to leave some mark in his heart.
He calmed his anger and simply glanced at her again. "You can go now; I want to rest alone for a while."
"Shaoyi, that woman is Ruan Yu's wife, not Cheng Mosu. I hope you don't project your feelings for Cheng Mosu onto her." She didn't even know what she was saying; she just hoped deeply.
Shangguan Shaoyi nodded slightly, his tone flat. "I know; you can leave." His expression was emotionless and devoid of action. To others, they might seem to respect each other like guests, but she knew his imposing aura made his words indisputable. She bit her lip stubbornly refusing to move.
His cold voice reached her ears. "Jiang Yating, since you want to kill me, why do you keep provoking me?"
She suddenly froze. There was indeed a time when the Jiang Family could not tolerate the existence of the Shangguan Family, but as the reputation of the Shangguan Family grew day by day, her Father changed strategies and sought to ally with them. This was why she married over. She thought he would never discover this secret but did not expect that in his heart lay a clear mirror (Mingjing), already seeing through these boring characters.
She lowered her gaze, a hint of a smile appearing on her snow-like cheeks. "Shaoyi, if you're so clear about everything in your heart, why did you agree to marry me?"
“At that time, I didn’t know. It was only recently that I carefully pondered it and began to understand,” his voice was cold and deep, but his eyes, black as ink, were bright and piercing.
She laughed coldly, “So what do you want to do with me?” She glanced at her belly and continued, “Even though I’m carrying a child from the Shangguan Family, I don’t think you would show me any mercy.”
“You’re right,” he said, looking out at the snowflakes beginning to dance outside. The bright flames in the European fireplace couldn’t dispel the slightest chill. The oppressive atmosphere enveloped her body, causing her heart to start beating irregularly. He stood up, tall and imposing, “The Jiang Family and Shangguan Family have already united, and Ruan Yu has signed an agreement with me. I believe I still hold some weight in Mr. Jiang’s heart at this moment.”
She quietly watched him as he continued, “If you don’t want the Jiang Family and Shangguan Family to split apart, and if you don’t want to lose your life, then help me eliminate someone.”
“Who do you want to eliminate?” Jiang Yating’s pupils tightened. After a moment of thought, she said, “Are you talking about Zhu Ye Feng?”
“Exactly.” His cold voice seemed to freeze the air around them. “He intended to harm me back then with poison but missed and caused Cheng Mosu to drink it instead. He separated Cheng Mosu from me for life. Now that I’ve figured out the whole situation, I won’t allow such a person to live.”
Jiang Yating bit her lip and took a few steps forward. Tears suddenly rolled down her fair cheeks, crystal clear and bright. She wiped her face with her hand and said, “Alright, I agree. But have you thought about what will happen to your sister? Zhu Ye Feng is her second husband; if he dies again, what man would dare marry her?”
Shangguan Shaoyi raised an eyebrow, his tightly pressed lips full of coldness. Although Zhu Ye Feng was part of the Jiang Family, he married Shangguan Yiting partly due to schemes at that time and partly because one day when the Shangguan Family regained its power, Zhu Ye Feng would have found himself a refuge. However, what Zhu Ye Feng didn’t realize was how ruthless Shangguan Shaoyi could be.
He looked at the lifeless magnolia tree with indifference on his face and a slightly hoarse voice, “If no one marries her, I’ll take care of her for life. Besides, getting rid of a ticking time bomb is good for her.”
Jiang Yating slightly twisted her facial expression and smiled, “Shaoyi, sometimes I really underestimate you. If you reach my father’s age, there should be no one in this world who can compete with you.” She turned away, the moonlight enveloping her in a pure darkness. “Don’t worry; I will handle this matter well.”
He nodded and listened to the faint sound of the door closing. He rested his fingers on the chair and slowly sat down. He gradually emptied his mind; there was not a trace of expression on his face, only the depth in his eyes grew heavier.
Although Cheng Mosu didn’t say anything, he knew she harbored resentment towards Zhu Ye Feng; he hated that man too. If it weren’t for Zhu Ye Feng, he might not know where he would be right now, but Cheng Mosu would always be by his side. Driven by interests that led Cheng Mosu into the center of turmoil was something he could neither forgive Zhu Ye Feng for nor forgive himself for.
Not being by his side is ultimately the right choice. As long as Cheng Mosu can live safely, nothing else matters.
His vision gradually became clear, his large hand grasping the chill. Those black as ink eyes were like cold blades, piercing into the tranquil night sky.
Shangguan Yiting quietly pushed open his door. He paused slightly, his back stiffening, and lowered his gaze. "Sister, when did you come?"
"I was just outside the door all along. You were too focused on your conversation with Yating to notice me."
He frowned and turned his handsome face toward Shangguan Yiting. Her lips were bitten lightly, her expression devoid of any emotion, and her eyes were as still as dead water. He took a moment before asking, "Did you hear everything I said just now?"
"Yes." She nodded and suddenly knelt down, leaving him stunned. "I know you're upset, but I beg you to let Zhu Ye Feng go. After all, he is my husband, your brother-in-law!"
