Sheng Yize’s voice was unbelievably humble. “Thank you, Grandma.”

Grandma Sheng chuckled heartily. “When can I expect your wedding?”

“I’ll let Xiaxia decide that… I’ll ask for her opinion when the time’s right.”

An Xiaxia was greatly annoyed. It felt awful to be lied to!

“That won’t be necessary!” An Xiaxia walked down the stairs, handed little Hope to the nanny, and looked at Grandma Sheng with her fists clenched. “Grandma Sheng, how’s your heart feeling now?”

Grandma Sheng said anxiously, “Little Xiaxia… this is all just a big misunderstanding. I only did it for your own good…”

“Hm.” An Xiaxia give her a half-smile. “I know.”

The look on her face was too calm to be able to tell what was going on inside her head.

“I’d like to go home now. Is that ok?” An Xiaxia then turned to stare into Sheng Yize’s eyes.

Somehow, Sheng Yize was fl.u.s.tered. “Let me drive you back.”

“Alright.” An Xiaxia didn’t turn him down.

On their way back, she remained perfectly calm the entire time, as if nothing had happened.

Sheng Yize darted looks at her from time to time, unsure of what she was thinking.

It was indeed his fault for tricking her into marrying him…

Was Xiaxia… angry?”

“Xiaxia, are you mad?” Sheng Yize asked gingerly.

An Xiaxia smiled prettily. “Why should I be? Who am I to do that?”

“You…” An Xiaxia cut him off before he could go on. “How long until we get home?”

“We’re almost there.”

Silence filled the car once more.

Once they were home, An Xiaxia turned the TV on and found a variety show to watch, completely ignoring Sheng Yize.

Sheng Yize bent his knees and crouched down next to her, speaking in a resigned tone. “Did you hear all that? Well… I was too impatient… Xiaxia, do whatever you want to punish me, but please don’t ignore me like this.”

An Xiaxia acted as if he wasn’t there.

“An Xiaxia!” Sheng Yize raised his voice.

“Oh, it was you. I thought there was nothing but air around me.” Her voice was impa.s.sive.

Sheng Yize said, “There’s oxygen in the air and we all need air to live… So, please don’t do this to me.”

“No, we can’t live without air, but I can live without you.” An Xiaxia smiled a little. “I’ve booked a flight to take a break elsewhere. From this moment on, don’t talk to me, because I’m really, really angry!”

Sheng Yize felt very helpless.

He now knew perfectly well what it meant by “digging your own grave.”

An Xiaxia flew off that same afternoon.

Knowing her temperament, Sheng Yize realized that he couldn’t force her to come back. He could only book a ticket on the next flight out and follow her in secret.

An Xiaxia had chosen a small town in the north as her destination. The town had an unsophisticated and tranquil quality to it without being overly developed. It was an ideal place for her to live for a while.

After finding herself a hotel, An Xiaxia stayed in her room and didn’t come out for the next few days.

Little did she know that Sheng Yize was living right next door and was weighed down by this crisis.

One day, the weather was perfect. An Xiaxia sat on the balcony with her laptop and she finished the latest story she was writing.

Shortly after she finished her work, Princess Hanhan sent her a message. “I think we’re sitting together for the next autograph event again.”

An Xiaxia was baffled for a few seconds.

The event last time had been extremely awkward for her and Yin Qinghan, as they had to pretend the entire time that they didn’t know each other.

An Xiaxia then closed her laptop and went downstairs to eat.

The rainy season had only just ended and the wooden stairs were still damp. An Xiaxia slipped, nearly falling down from the second floor.

A pair of big hands caught her by her waist.

“Miss, are you alright?”
