Just after the several guards stopped Yang Kai with smiles on their faces and were about to ask him to forgive them for carrying out their responsibilities, Xue Yue’s pleasant voice sounded off, “Let him in!”

Upon hearing this, the guards stepped aside, breathing deep sighs of relief, throwing out silent looks of encouragement as they did so.

Yang Kai was disinclined to deal with them, strode forward, pushed open the door with a cold look on his face, and walked inside.

There was no change in the room, everything was the same as it was the last time he visited. Xue Yue on the other hand somehow seemed worse for wear, her expression a mixture of sadness and gloom. She didn’t avoid Yang Kai’s angry eyes, nipping her lip lightly as she stared back at him, “Sit down, let’s talk.”

Seeing her appearance, Yang Kai had nowhere to vent his anger.

Women were truly unfair!

Obviously, her strength was far higher than his own, and if it came down to a fight he would definitely not be her opponent. She could punch him into submission at will, yet at this moment, she could rely solely on her expression to create the illusion of weakness.

Like the Heavens themselves had wronged her …

Yang Kai picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, took a sip gently, then opened his mouth to say something, but before he could utter a word, Xue Yue’s jade finger landed on his lips.

Her fingers were icy cold, but there was still a faint fragrance on its tip.

“Don’t say anything, let me show you something first,” Xue Yue said lightly, with a softer tone than ever before.

“What?” Yang Kai immediately became vigilant, sweeping his eyes up and down Xue Yue before saying, “If it’s your body, there’s no need, every part of it has already been imprinted into my head, I can perfectly picture it even with my eyes closed.”

“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory!” Xue Yue became ashamed and angry, “Do you think I’m the kind of woman who’d try to seduce a man with my body?”

“Then what do you want me to see?” Yang Kai ignored her question and asked.

Xue Yue glared angrily before pushing a sheet of paper over to him.

Yang Kai accepted the piece of paper, sipped his tea lightly and began browsing its content.
