Shi Sheng quickly pulled out her sword and swung at him. âDonât think Iâll believe you just because you put it nicely!â
Ji Yan dodged with familiarity before blowing a kiss at her and jumping off the landing.
Frustrated by Ji Yan, Shi Sheng went to vent on games.
Once Ji Yan found out she was playing games again, he joined her as well, helping her cause utter chaos.
Once they had their fun and broke the game, they would switch to another one.
Soon, the two were infamous in the gaming world. They even received a nickname: âThe Disasters That Never End.â
Any game they played soon became popular.
Perhaps because Ji Yan listened to Shi Sheng in the game, Shi Sheng didnât loathe him quite as much.
She still disliked him though.
âŠâŠ
âMiss, there will be a party today. Sir has said to let you attend.â The butler passed an invitation to Shi Sheng; however, it was immediately intercepted by Ji Yan.
Shi Sheng glared at him before snatching it back.
âEngagement party? Dongfang Li?? Sang Yu???â Shi Sheng couldnât help but ask these three questions.
âThose two⊠just how did they end up tangled together again?! Plot-sama is being too ridiculous, right? Even managed to bring them together after all that nonsenseâŠâ
âIndeed. Sirâs intention is to let the Miss out for a breath of fresh air. These kinds of outings are more relaxed after all,â replied the butler.
âGot it.â Shi Sheng kept the invitation. âI gotta at least see whatâs going on with the ML and FL!â
On the day of the party, Ji Yan shamelessly (and fearlessly) tagged along with her.
The scale of the engagement party was quite large.
By the time Shi Sheng arrived, her father was already present.
âBaby, are you tired?â Although her parents were very busy, theyâd always make time to see their daughter at least once a week, so Shi Sheng wasnât unfamiliar with him. She shook her head obediently.
âHello Uncle.â
âXiaoyan is here too ah! Very good! Iâll leave my precious baby in your hands then! Bring her around, if she gets tired, go home first.â Papa Chuâs face was all smiles when he saw Ji Yan.
Shi Sheng frowned slightly as she glanced at Ji Yan suspiciously.
âAre Ji Yan and my father familiar with each other? Though I suppose thatâs to be expected⊠what kind of father would allow someone he wasnât familiar with near his daughter?
He said he hated rich people before, but from his conduct, itâs clear heâs had an excellent upbringing. He also doesnât seem to be short on moneyâŠ
And there arenât any families with the surname Ji among the families close to the ChusâŠâ
Papa Chu chuckled as he instructed Ji Yan a bit more before leaving completely reassured.
Shi Sheng, somewhat irritated, turned to Ji Yan, âWhatâs your identity, eh?â
âHm?â Ji Yan turned. âArenât I your husband?â
Shi Sheng, ââŠâ
With a natural movement, Ji Yan took Shi Shengâs hand and placed it in the crook of his arm. âMiss, Iâve already told you. Since youâve caught my interest, donât even think about escaping.â
Shi Sheng gave him a false smile and spoke coldly, âRun? Even if I wanted to, Iâd make sure to kill you first!â
âAs expected of the woman I love.â
Shi Sheng, ââŠâ âIs there something wrong with you?!â
She entered the party venue with Ji Yan.
There were a lot of guests present, all dressed in formal attire with smiles on their faces. It was quite a lively scene. Briefly scanning the room, Shi Sheng didnât recognize any familiar faces.
Quite a few people took note of her entrance and glanced over. There were even some males who were tempted to come forward and introduce themselves, but they lost their courage when Ji Yan swept his gaze over them.
âIâm heading to the washroom.â Shi Sheng tossed the thing she was holding to Ji Yan before lifting her skirt and walking to the restrooms.
Ji Yan followed her at a distance.
The door to the washroom wasnât shut properly, so just as Shi Sheng was about to push it open, the crisp sound of objects breaking travelled outside, causing her hand to freeze.
âYour grandpa! Of course, the washroom is a high-danger zone at parties!â
Shi Sheng withdrew her hand and turned to look at Ji Yan who wasnât far off.
Ji Yan advanced a few paces and asked her in a low voice, âWhatâs wrong?â
Just as he finished, a voice could be heard from inside the room.
âSang Yu, Iâm telling you: Even if youâre pregnant with my child, I wonât like you! So keep those dirty little thoughts to yourself, else donât blame me for being heartless!â
âWtf, a kid?!â Shi Shengâs eyes rolled in their sockets. âThe FL actually got pregnant with the MLâs kid⊠dayum! Is this story evolving into a CEO novel?â
Ji Yan cast a glance at the doorway, revealing a hint of disgust in his eyes.
âIâll escort you upstairs.â He placed an arm around Shi Shengâs waist and ignored her unhappy glare as he brought her towards the lift.
Indistinct voices could be heard behind them.
âI know⊠the childâŠâ
Only afterwards did Shi Sheng find out that Dongfang Li had bumped into Sang Yu while he was once drunk, resulting in the two rolling in the sheets together.
Just that one time had caused Sang Yu to be pregnant with Dongfang Liâs child.
The Dongfang Family placed significant importance on the child, so they could only get Sang Yu and Dongfang Li engaged.
Dongfang Li wasnât the type to shirk responsibility; since she was already pregnant, he could only bear the consequences. However, after the engagement, Sang Yuâs conduct irritated him to no end.
Because she was pregnant, the Dongfang Family forced her to stay at home to ensure that the child wouldnât be affected by stress. Since she was unable to attend class, Sang Yu was left with a great deal of time at home and nothing to do.
And with Dongfang Li away from home all day, Sang Yu couldnât help but feel paranoid. On any given day, she would make about 10 calls to Dongfang Li, interrogating him for his whereabouts.
News of Sang Yu reached Shi Sheng about a year later. As it turned out, Sang Yuâs child wasnât Dongfang Liâs! Having been cuckolded by Sang Yu, Dongfang Liâs loathing for her peaked.
Sang Yu was kicked out of the Dongfang Family, and the Sang Familyâs attitude towards this disgraceful daughter was also unwelcoming.
Life for a young lady in her twenties was hardâespecially when she had to care for a child as well.
Not long after, Sang Yu abandoned the child at an orphanage and disappeared somewhere.
However, at Dongfang Liâs wedding, she suddenly reappeared and stabbed the bride, causing grievous harm.
Naturally, she was brought to court. The brideâs maiden family held connections in the government, so she ended up with a life sentence.
âŠâŠ
Shi Sheng was tired from battling wits with Ji Yan daily while guarding against her traitorous parents who sided with a certain person.
Fortunately, she didnât live very long in this world. After all, Chu Yunxi had a heart condition. She died at the age of 25.
Shi Sheng was depressed by the time she returned to systemâs space. âDammit⊠I didnât even get to hack that lunatic Ji Yan to death.â
System didnât say anything, merely displaying her stats on the screen.
