When Qiao Yaruan returned home, Feng Feng was dead asleep in the living room.

After she shut the door, Qiao Yaruan spoke up irritably, “What’re you doing?”

As soon as Feng Feng heard Qiao Yaruan’s voice, he immediately sat up and pulled her into the living room. “Qiao Yaruan, I must give you one rule,” Feng Feng said in a serious manner.

Qiao Yaruan swatted his hand away irritably. “Silver Screen King Feng, it’s time for you to leave.” She crossed her arms and stared at him as she continued, “Or could it be that Silver Screen King Feng refuses to leave because he’s fallen for me?”

Feng Feng furrowed his brows and stared at Qiao Yaruan with an equally irritated air. “Why don’t you take a look at yourself? I’ve seen many other long-legged women with slender waists, why should I notice you?”

When she heard his slightly cynical tone, a stinging pain twisted within Qiao Yaruan’s heart.

However, she quickly suppressed those forbidden thoughts and placed her hand on his shoulder. “Silver Screen King, you should really leave. I’m going to start school soon and this is Xiao Luozi’s home. If you insist on staying in someone else’s home, I’d have no objections.” Qiao Yaruan displayed the whole ‘I’m doing this for your own good’ look at him. She then turned around and went back to her room to pack up.

Feng Feng watched Qiao Yaruan leave. Was it not his objective to make this woman fall in love with him then violently cast her aside? Why does this situation feel so wrong?

“Hey, Qiao Yaruan, aren’t you allowed to live outside the university during your internship in your fourth semester?” Feng Feng ran after her.

Qiao Yaruan walked to the bedroom doorway then leaned against the door as she turned back to look at him. “I say, Silver Screen King Feng, if you do this, I’d end up thinking that you’ve actually fallen in love with me.”

Feng Feng’s frown deepened as he placed one hand on the wall and faced her.

“And what if I say that I have?”

Even Feng Feng himself was shocked by his own words.

What did he just say?

Qiao Yaruan shook then chuckled almost immediately. “Silver Screen King, I confess that you’re indeed the King of the Silver Screen. Stop making a fuss. Dating a celebrity? I’m not a fool. Just look at how famous people go off the rails these days. Tsk, tsk, tsk, even brothels would concede defeat.”

Feng Feng stared as she closed the door on him. So... Has the Silver Screen King’s second declaration of love been rejected?

Feng Feng stared at the closed door angrily. He simply refused to believe that he would not be able to make this girl fall for him. When that happens, he would certainly watch her suffer. Otherwise, he would not be satisfied.

Feng Feng grasped his own hands as that bloody scene flashed before his eyes once again. She had yet to graduate from the police academy and she still had so many unfulfilled dreams. However, her life had ended on that bus just to save her — a little girl who had spoken out of turn.

Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo arrived at the condominium. Uncle Chu left after he parked the car in the carpark. When Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo arrived at their house door, Chu Ningyi received a call from Qiao Huihe.

Chu Ningyi let Shui Anluo go inside first then went to the communal balcony to answer the call.

“Stupid boy, where am I supposed to put my face now after all you’ve done?” Qiao Huihe questioned angrily.

“I’d no choice, you only have one granddaughter-in-law yet she was bullied to this state. I can’t just ignore that, can I?” Chu Ningyi smiled yet spoke in a gentlemanly manner.

“Whoever said you couldn’t prove her innocence? But was it really necessary for you to embarrass Qianchen like that?” Qiao Huihe still liked Lin Qianchen better even though she had not condoned her actions this time.

Chu Ningyi’s expression turned cold. “Grandmother, when she had done all these things, did she not consider that she might have to face consequences like today?”

“She’s just too infatuated with you,” Qiao Huihe growled angrily.

“Grandmother, do you think that someone who hurts others simply on the basis of infatuation deserves to be forgiven?” Chu Ningyi was growing increasingly irritated.

Her grandson’s words rendered Qiao Huihe speechless.

“Whatever it is, I simply don’t like Shui Anluo. If you plan on marrying her again this time, she’ll have to measure up to my standards first,” snapped Qiao Huihe. She then ended the call by slamming the phone.
