The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

"Did something bother you today?"

Xia Ying sensed Arthur's low spirits, a bitter and sorrowful feeling. She asked softly, her words flowing gently into Arthur's heart like a clear spring.

"Wife, if it weren't for me, would you really have married Ji?"

Hearing his question, Xia Ying chuckled, poked the man's cheek, and teased, "So you're jealous. Too bad, there are no 'what ifs,' I'm already married to someone."

Upon hearing this, Arthur could not hide his excitement.

Yes, he's someone his wife approves of!

Arthur excitedly nuzzled against her neck, finally landing on her soft lips.

A deep, lingering kiss and a passionate, lustful gaze became the clarion call to charge.

Before long, there were many scattered clothes on the ground.

There were also uncontrollable, melodious tunes that overflowed from his throat.

The branches outside the window swayed in the wind, casting shadows on the white wall inside, accompanied by two intertwined figures.

Xia Ying felt as if she were being engulfed by a wave of heat, almost suffocating. She could only cling to the only piece of driftwood in front of her.

At this moment, the man's strong and powerful waist came into play.

Under the fierce onslaught, Xia Ying was utterly defeated and had no choice but to beg for mercy repeatedly.

After a night of passion, Arthur finally satisfied his possessive desires, kissed Xia Ying who was sleeping in his arms, gazed at her for a long time with all his heart and soul, and then reluctantly closed his eyes to fall asleep.

When Xia Ying woke up, it was already afternoon. As soon as she opened her eyes, a handsome face came close to her, smiling and greeting her.

"Honey, you're finally awake. What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef prepare it for you."

Xia Ying asked for a glass of water and drank most of it in Arthur's arms. Her arms were sore and she had no strength left. Arthur carried her to the bathroom to wash up and changed her into her pajamas, doing everything he could for her.

"Xia, does it hurt a lot? Do you need some medicine?" Arthur asked with concern, only to be muted by Xia Ying.

"Arthur, why do you ask about everything?"

"Honey, you're my wife. Besides, I'm the one who's to blame, let me check."

Xia Ying glared at him reproachfully, then turned her face away shyly.

She admitted that she was initially seduced by his good looks, and after being moved by Arthur, she only wanted to be with him.

Last night, after completely seduceing Arthur, she had to admit that his appearance was Arthur's least noteworthy advantage.

"I'm not in pain, carry me to dinner."

Xia Ying diverted Arthur's attention, fearing that if they stayed any longer, things might escalate into something more serious.

After dinner, Xia Ying brought up yesterday's events, seemingly casually, saying, "Actually, yesterday, I was the one who pushed..."

Before she could finish speaking, Arthur interrupted her. He leaned back, adopting a commanding posture. He gently took Xia Ying's hand and played with it, smiling as he said, "Wife, what are you saying? She broke into someone else's house and tried to provoke you. She hurt her leg; what does that have to do with us? Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves; we can't pay the price for her malice."

Looking into his earnest and shining eyes, Xia Ying saw her reflection in them. Arthur was a staunch advocate for Xia Ying's existence.

She paused for a moment, then smiled with relief, kissed the corner of his lips, and snuggled up to him.

Inside the hospital ward, Song Wanning's leg was in a cast and suspended high in the air.

The attending physician was explaining post-operative precautions to Ji Beiwang, unaware that the other person had already drifted off into thought.

After everyone left, Ji Beiwang closed the door to the ward and looked at Song Wanning with a complicated expression.

Song Wanning thought Ji Beiwang was worried about her, so she forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Bei Wang, the doctor said I'll never be able to dance again; my legs are ruined. Although it's all Xia Ying's fault, I just want an apology from her; I don't need her to pay for my legs."

Song Wanning spoke pitifully, tears welling in her eyes, while observing Ji Beiwang's reaction. In the shock of yesterday's injury, she had forgotten to maintain her public image.

Now that she's a bit more sober, she's deliberately saying the opposite of what she means. Her plan is to maintain her "good person" image without making her own demands, while still getting Ji Beiwang to intervene and vent her anger.

Clearly, she had miscalculated. She hadn't anticipated that Ji Beiwang had already seen her狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) face and heard her vicious words.

"Wanning, did you get injured yourself from the fall, or did Xia Ying push you?"

"How could I have fallen by myself? You know I love to dance, and my legs are very important to me."

Song Wanning looked anxious. She was telling the truth, but in Ji Beiwang's eyes, she had been lying from beginning to end.

Ji Beiwang frowned, his entire being radiating a tense atmosphere. He took out his phone and played the video in front of Song Wanning.

Song Wanning's face, which was already sallow due to surgery, is now even more dull and lifeless.

"No, Bei Wang, this is AI-generated, it's not real!"

Her tone was agitated, and when she saw the indifference and disgust in Ji Beiwang's eyes, she panicked even more.

"The police have confirmed that this is a genuine video, without any editing or AI. Wan Ning, I never imagined you would be this kind of person; everything about you was a facade."

Ji Bei spoke recklessly, a look of pain on his face.

"I will pay all medical bills and subsequent rehabilitation costs. I will also give you a pension payment on Xia Ying's behalf. After that, let's not see each other again."

After Ji Beiwang finished speaking, he didn't look at Song Wanning again and got up to leave.

He could no longer listen to any of Song Wanning's excuses or repentance; his heart was only filled with Xia Ying, who had gone far away from him.

What you can't have always seems more alluring, but once you have it, you don't cherish it. Only when you lose it do you regret it, but then it's too late, far too late.

Ji Beiwang's hand was on the doorknob when Song Wanning's voice came again.

"It's ridiculous. You've gotten to this point because you were so indecisive. You were about to marry Xia Ying, and then you came running after me like a puppy. Now you're abandoning me to go find Xia Ying again?"

"Hahaha, you're dreaming! Xia Ying is more clear-headed than me. She told me she doesn't care about your cheap love at all. You can't have her, give up!"

Song Wanning's words pierced Ji Beiwang's heart like sharp thorns, causing him unbearable pain. His usually upright back was now somewhat hunched, and a sense of defeat enveloped him.

He did not refute, and turned to leave the ward.

Upon returning to the Ji family home, Ji Beiwang discovered that Arthur was there. He glanced around but didn't see Xia Ying, and felt somewhat dejected.

"Bei Wang, look at that foreigner! What kind of person is he? He's plundering our Ji family like a bandit!"

Madam Ji only dared to vent her dissatisfaction when she saw Ji Beiwang.

Without Xia Ying by his side, Arthur was like a lion poised to pounce; ferocity was his true nature.

"I'm here to pack my wife's things, Ji. Do you want to check them again?"

Ji Beiwang didn't answer the question. He stared intently at Arthur and threatened, "Don't forget, Xia Ying is now a member of the Ji family. If I don't agree, you can forget about taking her away!"

"Ji, speaking of which, I happen to have something else I need to retrieve."

After Arthur finished speaking, he gently raised his hand, and the lawyer behind him took out a stack of documents and said solemnly, "Mr. Ji, this is the property notarization done by our firm when Mr. Xia entrusted us with it. These are all Ms. Xia's assets, but you have been managing them on her behalf. Ms. Xia said that she would not pursue the Ji family's illegal gains over the years, and only that the assets be returned."

"As for the transfer contract that the Ji family tricked a minor into signing back then, we also have evidence. Ms. Xia will not seek compensation either, as long as the land is returned."
