The young man remained tight-lipped, refusing to speak.

Meng Ying was so angry that she was about to hit someone.

Mu Yuansheng pulled Meng Ying behind him. Just as he was about to scold her, he saw the corners of her lips turn down and her eyes turn red. She was about to cry.

He was stunned.

He hadn’t done anything, why was she crying?

“You…”

“You’re fierce.” Meng Ying pouted pitifully.

Mu Yuansheng finally knew what it meant by ‘the thief cries thief’.

“Since when have I been fierce to you?”

“Now.”

“I…” Whatever Mu Yuansheng was going to say now was redundant.

Meng Ying moved in front of him bit by bit, slowly reached out to grab the clothes on his waist, and rested her forehead on his chest. Seeing that he didn’t push her away, she took an inch and hugged his waist, leaning against him.

She would have no regrets in life if she could always be together with him every day.

She, who was about to cry a second ago, was now hanging onto him like a huge pendant. Mu Yuansheng knew that she did it on purpose.

Not only he knew that she was not really a fool, but he also knew that she was smart and rather skilled.

But her inexplicable attachment to him was real.

‘Love at first sight?’

‘Isn’t she a little too devoted?’

“Didn’t you want to know why he’s here?” Mu Yuansheng grabbed her hand, wanting to move her away.

Meng Ying hugged him even tighter and shook her head. “I don’t want to know anymore.”

Nothing was more interesting than indulging in men.

Ah Da could not bear to watch.

‘Madam was said to be smart, but what she did was no different from what a fool would do.’

Mu Yuansheng knew how shamelessly she could act, so he could only let her hug him.

“I know why you’re here, but what you are doing is useless…”

“You’ve seen it for yourself.”

“All these years, you’ve been scaring away one developer after another. The worst thing that could happen to them is that they’ll earn less money. But you—are you planning to stay here forever at such a young age?” He looked at the young man and asked.

Mu Yuansheng’s voice was very pleasant to the ears.

It was like the sound of a cello—deep and powerful—sexy and attractive.

When he spoke, his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Meng Ying felt like taking a bite, but she didn’t dare to.

She listened to his strong heartbeat and also heard his words.

She finally understood what was going on.

“I…” The young man clenched his fists, his expression finally changing. He was both angry and hateful. “Then what should I do? Am I just going to let my sister die in vain?”

Mu Yuansheng said, “There are many ways to take revenge. Making yourself suffer is the stupidest thing to do. Look at you, do you even look like a human now? If you trust me, I can help you do what you want.”

“Why should I believe you?”

“Do you have a choice? This place doesn’t belong to you, and no one knows that you’ve been here for so many years. Even if you disappear, no one will know.” Mu Yunsheng’s gaze was deep, and it was impossible to see any ferocity in it. However, his words were terrifying.

Meng Ying looked up at the man’s perfect jawline.

He was indeed the man she liked.

Even what they had said was similar.

The young man looked at the man and woman and knew that they were not ordinary people.

“Alright, I believe you.”

Mu Yuansheng signaled Ah Da to take him away. He glanced at the woman who was still in his arms and asked, “How much longer are you going to stay in my arms?”

“Forever.”

“…”

Meng Ying finally let go of him unwillingly. She looked up and smiled at him. “Hubby, did you come looking for me because you were worried about me? Or are you looking for me because you miss me?”

Even her question was a trap.

Mu Yuansheng turned around decisively and said, “I was just passing by.”

Meng Ying chased after him and grabbed his clothes. “What a coincidence. Hubby, I don’t like the name Leaping Dragon Bay. Why don’t we change it to ‘Admiring Fate’?”

Mu Yuansheng’s lips twitched, and he hastened his footsteps.

Before going down the stairs, Meng Ying suddenly cried out loud.

When Mu Yuansheng stopped, Meng Ying jumped onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t you like this name? Let’s think about it again.”

“Come down.”

“No. That boy pressed a bloody palm on my shoulder just now. I was almost scared to death. My legs are so weak now. I can’t walk on my own.” Meng Ying acted coquettishly. She was clinging onto him already anyway.

Mu Yuansheng would be a fool if he believed her nonsense.

What could he do about his own wife?

He couldn’t just throw her down here.

Mu Yuansheng resigned to fate and carried her on his back.

Meng Ying was satisfied. Although this man was cold, he couldn’t do anything to her.

Along the way, Meng Ying thought of a few names.

‘Meng Mu Residence’, ‘Love Sheng Residence’, ‘Ying Yuan Castle’… In any case, the name she had thought of contained a combination of their names.

Mu Yuansheng was speechless.

…

The Leaping Dragon Bay was officially renamed ‘Xingyun Lodge’.

Many were waiting for problems to arise at the building. However, not only there were no problems at all, the area was actually being rebuilt.

All the advertisements had been changed to advertisements about Xingyun Lodge. With the advertisements, the villas had been hyped up to 20 million dollars each.

“Sister Yingying, how is it? Did we do a good job?” Zhang Wei poured tea for Meng Ying.

Meng Ying picked up the teacup and nodded. “Perfect.”

Zhang Wei was as happy as a student who had been praised by his teacher.

Zhou Yang rushed in hurriedly. “Something bad happened! Someone is causing trouble at Xingyun Lodge!”

“Who’s so daring?”

“It’s the second-generation heir of the Cheng family. The Cheng family was the one who took over that place in the beginning. It was also them who left the villas in that manner. He’s probably jealous that the property prices in that area have already risen to 20 million dollars.” Zhou Yang looked at Meng Ying. “Sister, I’ve already alerted a group of brothers. We’ll take action immediately on your order.”

Meng Ying put down her teacup. “How dare they cause trouble in my territory. Are they tired of living?”

When they arrived at Xingyun Lodge, the construction had already been stopped by Cheng Ping’s men.

When the project manager saw Zhang Wei, he ran over and told him, “Young Master Zhang, we can’t continue like this.”

Zhang Wei waved his hand. “Take a rest first. We will settle this matter.”

“Hey, Zhang Wei, what are you doing here? Oh, I heard that the advertisements about Xingyun Lodge were made by your family?” Cheng Ping sat on the hood of his Ferrari, looking very ostentatious.

Zhang Wei sneered. “You have a problem with that?”

“What’s your relationship with that woman surnamed Meng? She’s just a silly woman. Don’t tell me you want to have sex with her too.” Cheng Ping laughed out loud. “Are you so not picky?”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw something flying over.

Cheng Ping had no time to dodge. That thing enlarged in front of his eyes. It was a stone that smashed right into his head.

He rolled off the hood of the car with a yelp.

The minions who he had brought hurried over to help him up. He covered his bloody forehead with his hand.

“Who the f*ck threw this at me?” Cheng Ping yelled at Zhang Wei and the rest. “Come on out so I can kill you!”

Meng Ying walked out with contempt in her eyes. “Where did this wild dog come from? Why is it barking so loudly?”

“How dare you call me a dog?” Cheng Ping pointed at Meng Ying. “Who are you? Tell me your name!”

“I’m someone who specializes in treating wild dogs. If you don’t leave now, I’m going to beat the hell out of the dog.” Meng Ying’s smile never left her face. If one didn’t hear what she said, one would think that she was talking to a friend.

In the Honesty World, she was given a nickname called the “Gentle Demon”.

She was gentle and sweet even when she killed people. The more gentle and sweet she was, the more ruthless she was.

Cheng Ping was infuriated by this woman. “Somebody beat this woman to the ground! I want to see how wildly arrogant she can be when she licks my feet like a dog.”
