Female-dominated society: After becoming fake young ladies, the older sisters stopped pretending.

Holy crap!

The pain in his wrist made Shen Yan subconsciously speak in his hometown dialect.

As he opened his mouth, a delicate fragrance entered his mouth with the air; it was Chen Qingning's scent, only much stronger.

Before he could regain his footing, the loud slamming of the door behind him made him turn around.

This glance startled Shen Yan so much that he gasped for breath and couldn't even feel the pain in his wrist anymore.

Chen Qingning had her back to him, and her whole body exuded a cold aura.

His right hand was still firmly on the door, making a scratching sound as it fell.

"Lime..."

Shen Yan swallowed hard, his earlier budding fantasies cooling considerably.

This isn't a sign of things going smoothly; it's more like they want to dismantle him into parts and do it piece by piece.

If he were in a different environment, he felt like he would be stuffed into bags and shipped out in batches at any moment.

What made Shen Yan even more desperate was that Chen Qingning slowly turned around the next moment.

Those once clear, cold eyes were now bloodshot, and tears of sorrow and despair streamed down their cheeks like a flood.

Her expression was three parts restraint and seven parts coldness, with a self-deprecating smile curving her lips.

"Shen Yan, do you think this is fun?"

The words that came out were devoid of warmth, so cold they seemed to freeze one's heart.

After saying that, she laughed self-deprecatingly, her laughter mixed with hot tears, making her appear incredibly tragic.

"What...what happened to me?"

Shen Yan was momentarily confused about what he had done, but seeing the heartbroken beauty before him, he quickly got out of bed and said softly:

"Qingning, don't cry. If you hate me, I can leave right now."

After saying that, Shen Yan immediately added, "And I promise I'll never bother you again."

Aside from the awful things the original owner had done, he genuinely couldn't figure out what he had done to make Chen Qingning so heartbroken.

From giving gifts to apologizing, he felt he had been quite good in his attitude.

Moreover, compared to the boys in this world, he is considered quite lowly!

But none of that matters now. If I can't coax him, then I'll just stop serving him, okay?

After meeting Chen Qingning's cold gaze, Shen Yan shrank back and then cautiously walked towards her.

Although it was only a few steps from the door, Shen Yan found it extremely difficult to walk.

With Chen Qingning, who is 1.8 meters tall, blocking the doorway, it would be difficult to get out if she didn't let me through.

What should I do?

Or should we just pry her apart?

But can he break it apart?

Lost in thought, Shen Yan had already walked up to Chen Qingning.

Just as he reached out to push Chen Qingning's arm to let him out, Chen Qingning suddenly took a step forward, her ample bosom seemingly colliding with Shen Yan's hand.

what?

This startled Shen Yan, who quickly withdrew his hand and looked up at Chen Qingning with a mixture of confusion and shock.

"Qingning, is there anything else?"

This sudden move confused him again. What was this girl planning to do now?

Chen Qingning didn't speak, just looked down and stared coldly at Shen Yan, her gaze as if she were looking at a nobody.

Seeing the surging waves about to crash onto his face, Shen Yan had no choice but to step back.

"Qingning, just tell me what's wrong. I'll give you any compensation you want."

Being so intimidated by a woman's aura, Shen Yan also lost his temper. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Qingning without fear.

However, he continued to back away, because if he stopped, given the height difference between him and Chen Qingning, his head would simply disappear into the ground.

In that case, what kind of imposing presence does he have left?

Chen Qingning still didn't reply, and the two of them walked back to the bedside step by step until Shen Yan's calves touched the edge of the bed.

Now there was truly no way to retreat. Just as Shen Yan was about to speak to Chen Qingning to stop and talk properly, his vision suddenly went from white to black.

With a "plop," Shen Yan lay down on the soft bed again.

The moment he lay down, Shen Yan's mind went blank. He hadn't expected Chen Qingning to actually dare to hit him.

Foul! Absolutely a foul!

But now he can't get up even if he wants to. Chen Qingning is standing in front of him, and he will be bounced back as soon as he tries to get up.

"Chen Qingning, what exactly do you want?"

"I don't think I've done anything wrong to you today, have I?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but question her. This was the first time he had ever suffered such a humiliating insult from a woman who looked down on him like that!

If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't beat the person in front of him, he would have loved to teach her a lesson!

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingning's reddened eyes finally showed a slight change.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh!"

She couldn't help but let out a mocking chuckle, then slowly bent down under Shen Yan's shocked gaze.

She placed her hands on either side of Shen Yan's head, her smooth hair cascading down like a waterfall, creating a partition between their lines of sight.

Looking at the face before her, a face she both loved and hated, Chen Qingning felt a sharp pain in her heart once again.

"Shen Yan, do you find it amusing to see me so flustered by you?"

Chen Qingning said softly, the heartache in her eyes growing stronger.

One drop, two drops...

Tears, like pearls, dripped onto Shen Yan's face.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan seemed to realize something, and his previous temper instantly melted away.

"No, this time I really mean it..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Before Shen Yan could explain, Chen Qingning's self-deprecating words reached his ears again.

"Every time you're even a little bit nice to me, I feel so happy that I forget all the grievances and hurt I've suffered before."

Even if I drive you to a date with another girl, I'll still tell myself that you still love me the most.

Thinking of all the hurt she had suffered before, Chen Qingning cried even harder, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

"I'm such a big licking cat!"

She shouted angrily, her voice choked with sobs:

"Even though I've already decided to cut ties with you, why can't I control my soft heart for you?"

"Waaah~ Chen Qingning, you're just a big licking cat, I look down on you!"

"Serves you right for getting hit by a car! Why didn't it kill you?!"

"Waaaaah~"

Chen Qingning completely broke down at this moment. Her tears not only blurred her vision but also completely blocked Shen Yan's view.

It fell from the corner of her eye and finally slid down the corner of Shen Yan's eye.

Shen Yan struggled to open his eyes a crack, and his feelings were complicated as he looked at the girl with a wronged expression.

This girl probably thought his previous apology was just for show, and that he would turn to other girls once he had appeased her.

He could understand Chen Qingning's feelings at this moment. After all, if it happens too often, even the most sincere feelings will be exhausted.

She won't listen to anything I say now, so let's calm her down first and then have a proper talk with her later.

After a moment's thought, Shen Yan closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around Chen Qingning's slender waist, and tried to pull her into his arms, hoping to comfort the girl's broken heart with this warmth.

Sensing Shen Yan's actions, Chen Qingning did not resist and leaned against his chest, only crying even harder.

Original owner, you truly have no heart!

Holding the sobbing beauty in his arms, Shen Yan cursed again.

How could you bear to let a girl who would give her life for you suffer?
