Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This sudden meeting almost made Yuan Shuangrui's heart jump out of her mouth. She looked at Qin Huailing in horror, and her expression was all twisted. Pointing at him, she stuttered, "Y-You…"

Qin Huailing raised his head slightly and narrowed his eyes, looking coldly at Yuan Shuangrui.

Qin Huailing watched the stunned expression on Yuan Shuangrui and thought that she looked awful and hideous. He had no idea why he was so obsessed with her in his youth.

Why did he trust her?

Although he was mocking himself at that moment, he swiftly hid that disgusted feeling he had towards her. With a sinister look, he said, "Shuangrui, long time no see. Don't you know how much I've missed you?"

It was revolting for Qin Huailing to say those words. He had said it simply to spite Shuangrui further.

Yuan Shuangrui was so surprised that she couldn't snap out of her shock. When she heard that Qin Huailing still missed her, she was so frightened that her heart thumped madly. "I… I…"

Yuan Shuangrui might be great at pretending, but at that moment, her feet were numb. As Qin Huailing stared at her, she felt a chilling sensation down her spine.

The scenes of the past flashed across her eyes. Back then, she had personally orchestrated and witnessed the entire scene. She could even see as his blood pooled over the ground.

Back then, she thought that Qin Huailing was gone. She was merely in her teenage years and was afraid too. She had nightmares while she slept, and would be jolted awake when she dreamed of those scenes.

Nevertheless, she had no regrets. If she wanted to climb her way up the social ladder in her noble family, she had to be more cruel.

She thought that she had forgotten about everything, but when Qin Huailing showed up in front of her unexpectedly, the memories still came flooding back uncontrollably.

After a while, Yuan Shuangrui finally spoke. Looking at Qin Huailing, she tried to calm herself down and asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"

A sinister curve appeared on the corners of Qin Huailing's lips. "Of course, it's because I missed you. Oh, right. I'm still the master of the Qin family. My aunt has killed herself."

Yuan Shuangrui's face turned ashen. The Qin family? During all these time, she had focused solely on being together with Han Mubai and hadn't paid attention to the Qin family at all.

Did Qin Huailing manage to seize the Qin family once again? And Aunt Qin killed herself?

This news came as a shock to her.

Yuan Shuangrui felt as though the energy was being sapped out of her body. She had planned for everything and thought that the Qin family would become hers. But in the end, the Qin family ended up in Qin Huailing's hands again.

She looked at Qin Huailing's legs and couldn't comprehend at all. How did he manage to do everything?

Yuan Shuangrui's heart was in chaos, and the expression on her face grew even more tensed and distorted.

Qin Huailing continued to incite her. "Shuangrui, do you still remember what you said to me? You said that you came to Ning An City for me and that you liked only me. You said…"

Yuan Shuangrui was startled and hurriedly interrupted, "Stop it."

"Why? I still remember everything, and I miss you. I've finally come to the capital to see you. Do you think that my legs are a burden to you?"

Yuan Shuangrui was in utter shock now, and it was mainly because she knew that Han Mubai was just nearby. She was afraid that he would return and hear all of it.

Yuan Shuangrui's breaths hitched, and she hurriedly asked, "Qin Huailing, spill. What do you want?"

Qin Huailing looked at how flustered Yuan Shuangrui was and felt rather pleased. He smiled sinisterly and replied, "I want you to stay by my side. You belong to me anyway, right?"
