Miya was speechless.

 The two women looked at each other awkwardly until Miya asked with trembling lips, “You were the person I talked to just then?”

 “Yup.”

 That was awkward.

 So awkward.

 Miya felt like slapping herself. Not only had she failed to seduce the man, she had been caught red-handed by his wife! However brazen she was, she couldn’t stay indifferent in such a situation.

 “Ahem. Ma’am.” Jiang had heard the noise. Thinking that they were having a dispute, he rushed out, ready to help An Xiaxia.

 An Xiaxia replied, “Yes?”

 Looking from one woman to another, Jiang saw that his madam looked perfectly at ease, while that Miya had turned grim-faced with anger. So, it was a victory for Mrs. Sheng!

 He said coldly, “This way, please, Wang Xiujuan.”

 Huh? Who was Wang Xiujuan?

 Miya was infuriated, but didn’t dare lose her temper here. She stormed off in her high heels.

 “Wang Xiujuan is Miya’s official name,” Jiang explained. “Ma’am, she didn’t do anything to hurt you, did she?”

 “No, I’m fine.” An Xiaxia waved her hand. “Where’s Sheng Yize?”

 Jiang looked troubled. “I think… his stomach is acting up again.”

 “What? Is it serious? Shall I go get some medicine, or should we send him to the hospital?” An Xiaxia was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Jiang cleared his throat and said, “He said he was so angry that it gave him a stomachache.”

 “What was he angry about?”

 “I have no idea. Wang Xiujuan showed him something and he lost his temper…” Jiang chose his words carefully. “And it had something to do with you…”

 Had something to do with her? Had she pissed off Sheng Yize somehow?

 An Xiaxia walked into the reception room in bafflement, while Jiang closed the door for them. (How considerate!)

 The light was dim inside and she couldn’t see the look on Sheng Yize’s face clearly, which was half-hidden in shadow.

 “Sheng Yize, are you alright? Do you need a doctor?” An Xiaxia ran to him anxiously. Sheng Yize’s eyes looked darker than usual and his voice was husky. “I’m fine.”

 “But you look awful…” An Xiaxia was concerned. “How about I go get you some painkillers?”

 She turned to leave, but before she could take another step, she was yanked back and swung around. The next second, she was pinned down on the table in the reception room.

 “Hm…” Her bright black eyes looked utterly confused and her eyelashes were quivering. “What’s wrong?”

 Sheng Yize kept a straight face and said nothing, but his fingers had skillfully made their way into her clothes and up her body.

 An Xiaxia blushed. “No… not here…”

 Arching his eyebrows, Sheng Yize bit her earlobe. “Right here!”

 He was a man of his word.

 In an unfamiliar environment where anyone could walk in on them at any moment, and with the cold table under her… one thing led to another and all her senses were heightened…

Sheng Yize was very patient, but An Xiaxia couldn’t take it anymore. Eyes misty, she said, “Sheng Yize, I… take it easy…”

 Sheng Yize slowed down a little, but he still looked displeased.

 “What on earth happened?” An Xiaxia asked in grievance.

 Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, Sheng Yize said in a frustrated voice, “You little bastard…”

 WHAT?

 Did he just call her a bastard?

 “You! Shame on you! You’re the biggest bastard in the whole world!” An Xiaxia gritted her teeth, then bit him on his shoulder.

 Sheng Yize grunted, thrust harder, and An Xiaxia’s voice softened immediately. In a pleading voice, she said, “It’s all my fault…”

 “Of course it is.” Mr. Sheng had switched to his tsundere mode.

 “But what exactly are you angry about?” An Xiaxia asked in a soft, nasal voice.
