An Xiaxia looked ready to cry as she said, “Worthless Kang, don’t make me sleep anymore...”

After spending the better part of the past several days sleeping, it didn’t take a genius to see that Kang Jian had been feeding her some sort of drug.

But he... he was Worthless Kang and the boy she had grown up with. She couldn’t believe that he would do something to harm her.

The light in Kang Jian’s eyes dimmed. So, she had found out...

Putting down the medicine, he stood quietly by An Xiaxia’s bed. He wanted to find an excuse for himself, but words had never been his forte.

“I want to go home...” An Xiaxia said gingerly.

Kang Jian looked up. “Won’t you stay here?”

After much hesitation, An Xiaxia shook her head.

This place was nice, but it wasn’t home.

Back at home, Sheng Yize, Cola, and Pepsi must be worried sick for her.

“If taking me back home is too much trouble, you can call Sheng Yize and tell him to pick me up.” An Xiaxia looked expectantly at Kang Jian, who seemed to be in agony. He clenched his fists so tightly that blue veins bulged on the back of his hands.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not going to do that.”

An Xiaxia was baffled. “What do you want from me?”

Heh... He wanted a lot of things.

Kang Jian stared at her stubbornly. “I saved you this time and I’m not letting you go.”

Call him selfish or sinister, but he was An Xiaxia’s savior.

An Xiaxia was his now.

“Hm... Worthless Kang, have I... offended you somehow?” He looked like a different person today.

There was an uncompromising expression on Kang Jian’s angular handsome face.

“No, you haven’t.”

He just wanted her to stay.

An Xiaxia didn’t know what to do.

After Kang Jian left, she got out of bed on bare feet.

It was a small villa with a garden at the back, which was filled with all sorts of flowers and leafy plants.

An Xiaxia leaned on the windowsill and puffed up her cheeks. She was sulking.

“You’re An Xiaxia, aren’t you?” A clear voice rang out at that moment. An Xiaxia turned around, and realized that when she hadn’t been looking, a stunning woman had appeared at her side.

She was about 168cm tall, and the red dress wrapped around her body gave her a coquettish beauty that reminded one of Medusa.

“And you are...”

“Lan Yu.”

“Oh...” An Xiaxia said softly, “Hello...”

Lan Yu smiled a little. “Why don’t you want to stay here?”

“Um... because my family isn’t here.”

“Isn’t King himself enough a reason for you to stay?”

“Why would I want to stay for him?” An Xiaxia was confused.

Lan Yu looked surprised by her question, but she then chuckled and asked, “Why do you think a man is willing to go through all that trouble to keep you here?”

An Xiaxia shook her head honestly, and after some thought, she asked, “Does he hate me? Is he doing this to me as revenge?”

Lan Yu smiled. Her smile reminded one of equinox flowers, which looked both dangerous and irresistible.

“You silly girl.” Lan Yu’s voice was soft as water. “It’s so simple: he’s possessive of you.

“When you like something, you naturally want it for yourself. That applies to every one of us, men included.”

An Xiaxia forced a smile. Kang Jian liked her? That had to be a joke!

Seeing her reaction, Lan Yu realized what was going on. “So, you didn’t know that he likes you.”

“What?” An Xiaxia was completely baffled now.
