Tang Si patted his chest, giving a guarantee.
As for Xiao Cheng, he gazed at Meng Jingwei with reluctance. The so-called "eyes that pull at each other" likely described how he looked at Meng Jingwei at that moment.
His gaze was filled with deep affection and reluctance.
His brows, dark as ink, furrowed. He turned to leave, but after a few steps, he stopped and looked back at her.
"You must be careful," Xiao Cheng cautioned, his voice filled with worry.
Meng Jingwei returned a gentle smile. "Mm. You too."
The two of them looked at each other, a thousand emotions passing between them.
Tang Si, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Meng Jingwei's arm. "Let's go quickly, it's too dangerous here."
The more she admired Xiao Cheng, the more she was captivated by that cool and aloof man.
The truly dangerous one would be her own second brother.
It had to be said, Xiao Cheng had grown to be quite good-looking now.
Even with a scar on his face, it was like a trace left by the passage of time, adding a touch of melancholy and depth to him.
His cold, stern face, coupled with his muscular physique, exuded a fierce and domineering aura, like a powerful underworld boss. It wasn't just Meng Jingwei; even Tang Si couldn't help but steal a few more glances.
"Ow... you touched my wound."
Meng Jingwei winced in pain, shot Tang Si a glare, and turned to leave with him.
After they had walked a distance, two figures emerged from behind several large trees not far away.
He Kaiyan, with his hands in his pockets, looked down arrogantly at the two figures about to disappear into the dense forest. "The opportunity for revenge has arrived. Do you have the courage to kill her with your own hands?"
Beside him, though dressed in a black tracksuit, the breeze fluttering the fabric outlined her proud curves.
The woman raised her hand to adjust the brim of her baseball cap, her watery eyes gleaming with murderous intent. "I have waited for this moment for a long time."
He Kaiyan’s lips curved into a smile. "Once you take this, I will help you kill her. Afterwards, I will help you ascend to the throne, and we will get married."
He handed a miniature pill case to Li Yun'er, outlining his plan.
Li Yun'er slowly shifted her gaze and, without hesitation, took the pill case from He Kaiyan's hand. "You saved me from Old Chen Tou, so my life belongs to you. Let alone a mere pill; I would consider it worth it to die for you, as long as Meng Jingwei can die."
She had thought she would die when Old Chen Tou took her away that day, but after waking from her coma, she found herself in a secluded courtyard.
She then realized that she had been rescued by He Kaiyan.
Everyone knew Li Yun'er was missing and assumed she had been taken by Old Chen Tou, but no one knew that Li Yun'er was eventually rescued by He Kaiyan.
Even Old Chen Tou had never uncovered the truth.
He Kaiyan placed a hand on her shoulder, his smile gentle. "What are you saying? How could I let you die?"
He lightly stroked Li Yun'er's cheek with his long fingers, a hint of cunning flashing in his narrow eyes. "In the future, you will not only be my woman, He Kaiyan's woman, but also the Mistress. As long as I am alive, I will protect you every day."
He Kaiyan was skilled in psychological manipulation, precisely targeting Li Yun'er's vulnerabilities.
Knowing she was scorned and had never experienced gentleness from anyone, he showered her with endless affection. Knowing she hated Meng Jingwei the most, he brought her into the mountains, allowing her to kill Meng Jingwei with her own hands.
How could such a woman not be devoted to him?
"Here, drink some water."
Watching Li Yun'er swallow a pill from the case, he took a bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.
Li Yun'er took the water and took a sip, then said, "Let's go." She was already impatient to get rid of Meng Jingwei.
