By the time they reached the entrance of the residential complex where Xue An lived, it was already very late.

The two little girls had once again fallen into a deep sleep in Xue An’s arms.

Holding them, Xue An walked home, laughing and chatting with Fan Mengxue.

As for Tang Xuan’er, she had returned to the hospital dormitory after dinner.

Just as they reached the entrance of the building, Xue An noticed a car parked by the roadside.

It was a red Ferrari, its streamlined body drawing the eyes of many passersby.

Such a car, in stark contrast to the dirty and disordered environment surrounding it.

The sight of the car caused a drastic change in Fan Mengxue’s expression.

And at that moment, the scissor-style car door opened, and a woman wearing black fishnets and a tight-fitting dress stepped out of the car.

The woman was fairly attractive, but her face was stern, and her thin lips were like knives, hinting she was not to be trifled with.

“Meng Xue, you’re indeed here!” the woman said coldly.

Fan Mengxue’s complexion turned very ugly as she whispered, “Sister Han.”

This woman was none other than her agent, also known as the ‘Iron Lady’ of the industry, with the title of Queen of Caesar, Han Yao.

Han Yao nodded, “Get in the car!”

Fan Mengxue didn’t move.

Han Yao frowned, “Meng Xue, I hope you can think clearly, whether a man like this is really worth it.”

Fan Mengxue suddenly lifted her head and said earnestly, “He is worth it!”

Han Yao’s glance turned even colder, especially when she saw the two children in Xue An’s arms, her face was one of disbelief.

The day Fan Mengxue had left without a word and turned off her phone had already infuriated this Queen of Caesar.

She personally drove to Beijiang, intending to drag Fan Mengxue back.

“Meng Xue, before coming here, I thought the man who’d dazzled you would be someone extraordinary. But I didn’t expect him to live in a place like this, even with two children!”

Han Yao’s tone softened a bit, “It’s easy for women to act impulsively for love, but the premise is, you need to think clearly whether all this is meaningful!

Such a man doesn’t deserve you!”

Throughout the conversation, Han Yao had not looked at Xue An directly once.

In Han Yao’s eyes, although the man was not unattractive, judging from his clothes and where he lived, he was definitely at the bottom rung of society.

Fan Mengxue had “degraded herself” for such a man, which filled Han Yao with rage.

Fan Mengxue shook her head, “Sister Han, you don’t understand…”

“Don’t understand? Hah!” Han Yao let out a cold laugh, “For him, you publicly announced your relationship in front of reporters and flatly rejected one of Zhongdu’s four young masters, Yue Shao! Do you realize how much trouble your actions have caused the company?”

“The internet is in an uproar over your affair! And you, you actually gave up the opportunity to work with the international director Stephen for him, I really don’t understand, what’s so good about him?”

“Everything about him is good! At least when I’m with him, I’m very happy! ” Fan Mengxue said with a resolute tone.

Han Yao looked at Xue An, who was standing aside with an indifferent expression, her face showing a tinge of mockery.

“Having quite the influence, aren’t you? I don’t know what kind of spell you’ve cast on Meng Xue to make her so devoted, but I want to ask you, do you have the ability to provide for her?”

Han Yao pointed to the clothes worn by Fan Mengxue, “Any piece of clothing on her is tailored from Europe, even the hand cream she uses probably costs more than your monthly salary. Can you really bear to let a girl with such a promising future suffer with you?”

Han Yao turned her sharp gaze towards Xue An.

Fan Mengxue was about to speak in defense of Xue An, but he shook his head, signaling her to remain silent, and then gave Han Yao a slight smile.

“What you’re saying seems quite reasonable!”

“However… have you ever heard the phrase ‘a dog trying to catch a mouse is nosing into things that don’t concern it’?”

Han Yao was firstly stunned, then could not help but burst into a towering rage.

As the boss with countless resources in the circle, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that.

“Kid, you are seeking your own death!” Han Yao said coldly, and a standard high kick came flying toward him.

Xue An slightly tilted his head and dodged the kick.

He had his arms around Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, yet there was no hint of panic, just a faint, clear shout.

“Kneel down! ”

Han Yao felt an overwhelming force that made her kneel on the ground with a thud.

The humiliation she had never experienced before made her eyes redden as she struggled fiercely to stand up.

But all was in vain, Han Yao felt as if a mountain were pressing down on her shoulders.

At that moment, a flicker of panic finally flashed in Han Yao’s eyes.

Xue An was now standing in front of Han Yao, looking down at her from a height.

“Actually, you’re right. Meng Xue indeed is a girl with a limitless future. However, you got two things wrong,” he said.

“First, I did not stop Meng Xue from leaving; second, Meng Xue is a living person, and no one has the right to stop her.”

“In this world, no one can do as they please!” Han Yao retorted with a cold laugh.

Xue An shook his head, “You are mistaken, at least I can.”

Han Yao seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, her face full of mocking laughter, “Don’t think that because you know a bit of mediocre kung fu, you can do whatever you please. This world is ruled by power and money. Someone like you wouldn’t survive three days in Zhongdu!”

Xue An looked at Han Yao, who still wore an unconvinced face, and nodded slightly, “You are not wrong, this world indeed runs on power and money. But if I want something, no one dares to refuse me!”

Han Yao scoffed, “You think you are…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, because she saw the look in Xue An’s eyes.

It was a look devoid of sorrow or joy, even without the slightest ripple.

Lofty and superior, like an emperor overlooking everything.

“In my life, Xue An always acts on three words: follow my heart! If anyone dares to go against my will, then death is their punishment! If one person crosses me, I will take out one person; if ten do, then ten shall fall. If the whole world goes against my heart, then I will slay everyone under the heavens!” Xue An spoke indifferently.

These words chilled Han Yao to the core.

If someone else had said them, she would have thought them mad.

But when they came from Xue An’s mouth, they seemed so natural.

For the first time, Han Yao felt intense fear.

Because she felt the strong killing intent emanating from Xue An’s body.

Xue An indeed was prepared to end Han Yao’s life.

This woman might indeed mean well for Fan Mengxue, but the offense in her words made Xue An feel that she no longer deserved to live in this world.

To hold life and death in one’s hands was exactly like that.

“Xue An… please don’t!” Fan Mengxue suddenly shouted.

Xue An halted his killing intent and looked at Fan Mengxue.

Fan Mengxue bit her lip, “Sister Han has been good to me, please let her go!”

Xue An looked at Fan Mengxue and smiled faintly, “Alright!”

Only then did Han Yao feel as if a great burden had been lifted off her, and she quickly scrambled up from the ground, to then realize her back was soaked with cold sweat..
