Fangxi may have risen to become the CEO of the prestigious ZXMG Company, but deep down a trace of his.
childish nature still lingered within him. Grinding his teeth in a playful way, he roared:
"You little brat, Sheyaan! I won't spare.. you!"
The moment Sheyaan saw his angry red face, she flashed her usual "Signature" mischievous smile and challenged him:
"You..Catch me first!" Hehehe."
Saying this, Sheyaan dashed across the hall like lightning. Forgetting all his CEO pride, Fangxi ran after her.
"Just come into my hands.. once... you silent wild cat! Stop right there!"
he shouted.
A playful chaos filled the entire hall. Sometimes Sheyaan jumped over the sofa, sometimes she ran around the dining table.
Fangxi chasing her like this made Sheyaan really happy, and her giggling laughter.
"Hehehe!"
echoed throughout the house.
But... this joy and playfulness were only guests for a few moments.
Sheyaan was still running at full speed when suddenly...
"BOOM! She collided into someone so hard that she was thrown backward.
She lost her senses for a moment, and a painful cry escaped her lips:
"Aaah...!"
As Sheyaan nervously raised her gaze, she froze the instant she saw the person standing before her.
She was completely stunned. In a very soft voice, she quickly said,
"Sorry...!!"
Chan was standing in front of her—the one she had collided with.
Right behind him, Lucy and Manglong were also present. Seeing Sheyaan's nervousness, a faint,
calm smile appeared on Chan's lips. He said gently:
"You okay!" and "It's okay..."
Hearing Chan's soft tone, Sheyaan had just begun to feel a little relieved when suddenly a poisonous voice echoed.
Lucy spoke—her tone filled with bitterness and jealousy.
"Chan! There's no need for you.. to forgive her. She doesn't...even deserve forgiveness!"
"Lucy said angrily. "Ever since she came...into our house, she.. has ruined everything!"
Hearing Lucy's piercing words, Sheyaan's heart sank. She quietly lowered her gaze.
Her heart was filled with pain; Lucy's hatred was so deep that Sheyaan had no answer at all.
Hearing Lucy's poisonous words, Fangxi, who was standing behind, finally lost his patience. In a very angry and firm tone, he said:
"Lucy! I've told you... a dozen times not to speak to Sheyaan.. like this!"
Just then, Manglong spoke in his heavy voice, his words carrying a sarcastic tone,
"Fangxi! Why do you.. always take this girl's side? You cover up.. all her mistakes."
Fangxi replied sharply,
"Sheyaan hasn't made..such a big mistake that you.. need to make such a huge issue.. out of it!"
Hearing all this, Sheyaan stood there silently, feeling sad. Her heart was already broken, and her eyes had turned teary.
She couldn't see anyone standing up to protect her... when suddenly, a cold, flat, and commanding voice echoed from the doorway:
"Hello everyone...!!"
That single voice seemed to freeze time in the hall. Everyone went silent.
All eyes turned toward the door—except Sheyaan, who stood with her gaze lowered.
Zavian was standing at the door. His presence was calm yet terrifying. He slowly walked inside.
Lucy, who had been raging just moments ago, faltered as soon as she saw him, as if all her courage had faded away.
Zavian looked at Fangxi and said calmly,
"Good Morning..." Fangxi!"
Ignoring Lucy and Manglong completely, Fangxi replied,
"Morning... You came.. at the right time."
Zavian slightly narrowed his eyes and cast a deep glance at everyone present in the hall before asking:
"Why? Did..something happen here...?"
Fixing his sharp gaze on Lucy and Manglong, Fangxi spoke.
"It's nothing much... just...unnecessary things being turned into a big issue."
Hearing Fangxi, Zavian cast a deep glance at Sheyaan, who was still standing there silently with her eyes lowered.
Something felt off to him—her silence was bothering him. Suddenly, in his cold and commanding voice, he called out:
"Sheyaan!!"
The moment Sheyaan heard his voice, she flinched and lifted her gaze to look at him. Only a faint sound escaped her lips,
"Hmm..."
As soon as Zavian saw those teary eyes of hers, he understood everything. He didn't need anyone to explain what had happened there.
Sheyaan's pain and the tears in her eyes stirred a new storm inside him.
In a very low, "Cold" voice, Zavian said,
"Sheyaan... come here."
Sheyaan hesitated for a moment when he called her, but then slowly walked toward him.
Just then, Lucy tried to leave, showing her attitude. Deliberately, she glared at Sheyaan and bumped into her.
As Lucy collided, her hand hit Sheyaan's injured hand—the one that was already hurt. A soft but painful cry escaped Sheyaan's lips,
"Aaah..!"
But Lucy didn't care at all and coldly walked toward the dining table.
Zavian felt extreme anger at Lucy's action. Without wasting a second, he grabbed Sheyaan's hand.
On the other side, Lucy had already sat at the dining table, and Chan and Manglong joined her, starting breakfast without asking anyone.
But Zavian's anger was now reaching its peak. He kept staring at Lucy with his hard, piercing eyes.
Suddenly, he spread his fingers tightly, and in the next moment... a glowing Red light emerged from his hand!
Zavian's gesture was directed straight at Lucy. Suddenly, the spoon slipped from Lucy's hand
and fell straight onto the coffee mug placed beside her!
Zavian's aim was so eaccurate that when the spoon fell, a piece of glass from the side of the coffee mug broke off and
fell inside the mug. But Lucy had no idea about this danger. Carelessly, she picked up the spoon again and continued her breakfast.
After a few moments, as soon as Lucy took a sip of that coffee, she felt something strange in her throat.
Her expression suddenly changed. She grabbed her throat and started coughing violently.
Seeing Lucy's sudden condition worsening, everyone at the dining table looked at her in shock and concern.
Manglong quickly asked in a worried tone:
"Lucy! What happened? Do you need water?"
Lucy was in no condition to speak. She kept clutching her throat as her coughing became more intense.
She was coughing so hard that her eyes turned red.
Lucy slowly pulled her hand away from her mouth her fingers trembling, and the moment her eyes fell on it--her world
seemed to tilt..as if the ground beneath her feet had suddenly disappeared.
She was completely shocked—her palm was covered in blood. Blood was coming out of her mouth.
She panicked, fear clearly visible on her face. She started coughing violently again,
and with every cough, blood spilled from her mouth.
Seeing her in this condition, everyone at the dining table stood up in horror.
Chan said in panic,
"Wha... what is happening to you?!"
Fangxi, who had been ignoring Lucy until now, was stunned to see her like this. He rushed toward her and shouted in concern,
"Lucy! What happened? Why is..there blood?!"
But Lucy's condition kept getting worse. Within moments, the entire floor and dining table were stained red.
She choked again, and another surge of blood came out.
Watching this entire scene, a mysterious and cold smile appeared on Zavian's lips.
He was calmly watching the destruction unfold. The moment Sheyaan saw him smiling like that, her heart skipped a beat. She realized this was no coincidence.
Sheyaan suddenly pulled her hand out of Zavian's grip and, stuttering, asked him:
"you... you did all this, didn't you...?"
Zavian looked at Sheyaan with cold eyes and slightly narrowed his gaze, speaking in a flat tone:
"She deserves it...!"
Hearing such cruelty from him, Sheyaan was completely shocked.
On the other side, Lucy's condition was getting worse with every passing moment.
Sheyaan couldn't bear to see her like that and quickly moved toward her.
But she had barely taken two steps when Zavian grabbed her neck from behind and pulled her back toward him.
"Where are you.. going...?" he asked in an cold tone.
Startled, Sheyaan tried to free herself from his grip and said in a low but angry voice,
"Can't you see? What have you.. done to her?!" Leave me!"
Saying this, she tried to move again, but Zavian caught her once more from behind and this time pulled her straight into his lap. Looking into her eyes, he said:
"Don't be so kind!"Understood."just... let's go from here!"
Zavian was so consumed by his anger and concern for Sheyaan that he didn't realize that everything he had just done
to Lucy... had been witnessed by Chan. Chan's silent gaze remained fixed on them.
