Chapter 6 : A Piece of Candy
Chapter 6: A Piece of Candy
“Look at what you’ve done!” Elder Wang pointed at Wang Xinyue and cursed angrily.
Now not only had the marriage alliance fallen apart, but the Wang family had also been targeted by the Ye family. The fortune he had painstakingly accumulated was about to go to waste.
Yet Wang Xinyue felt no fault of her own, believing everything was Shen Yi’an’s doing.
“Dad! As long as we catch Shen Yi’an and force him to explain, everything can be resolved!”
“Resolve my ass—get out of the Wang family!” The head of the Wang family was so furious he nearly coughed up blood. He believed the Ye family’s targeting must be related to this wretched daughter. As long as he severed ties with her, there might still be a chance to make a comeback.
“From this day on, you have nothing to do with the Wang family!”
“Dad, don’t abandon me! I’m begging you, Dad!”
Wang Xinyue chased outside, clinging tightly to Elder Wang’s leg, refusing to let go—but what she received was a splash of cold water.
“Don’t force me to hit you! Let go!”
She was flung aside mercilessly. Outside, heavy rain poured down.
She fell onto the soaked street, crying helplessly under the rain.
What she didn’t notice was that just around the corner, a woman removed her disguise, taking off a yellow wig, revealing a faint smile.
The blond man had been her disguise. The act had been hers. And her intent to destroy Wang Xinyue had been real.
She had originally planned to slowly break Wang Xinyue, both mentally and physically. But Ye Yuyou’s arrival had accelerated the process.
Still, it didn’t matter—as long as the outcome was the same.
【Congratulations, host, for completing the task. The black blade has been automatically stored in the system inventory.】
Hearing the system’s notification, Shen Yi’an calmly walked up to Wang Xinyue, who was curled up against the wall, crying. She gently patted her head.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Xinyue looked up. The moment their eyes met, her face flushed red.
This face… was almost on par with Ye Yuyou’s.
“I’ve been abandoned…” Wang Xinyue said, her voice trembling.
“How pitiful~” Shen Yi’an smiled meaningfully. She withdrew her hand, lifted Wang Xinyue’s chin, and spoke in a soft voice, “I have some candy here. It’s very sweet—do you want some?”
Her tone and expression were irresistibly alluring. Unable to resist, Wang Xinyue nodded faintly, as if bewitched.
A piece of candy was taken out from her pocket and unwrapped.
“Ah~” Shen Yi’an brought the candy to Wang Xinyue’s lips, signaling her to open her mouth.
Wang Xinyue obediently did so. The moment the candy was pushed into her mouth, what followed was not sweetness—but a choking sensation that seized her throat.
Shen Yi’an withdrew her hand from her mouth and used a handkerchief to wipe away the remaining saliva.
“Such a good girl.”
Watching Wang Xinyue clutch her chest in pain, her face filled with distress, Shen Yi’an kindly took out a bottle of water from her space.
Seeing the bottle brought to her lips, Wang Xinyue didn’t think twice. She grabbed it and gulped it down until the candy finally slid into her stomach.
Shen Yi’an pinched the pale face before her, looking into those tear-filled eyes with a teasing smile. “Let me tell you a secret~ everything that happened tonight… was done by me.”
Hearing this, Wang Xinyue stared at Shen Yi’an in disbelief. She tried to speak, to question her—but her throat felt blocked, unable to produce a single word.
She could never have imagined that the one who ruined her would be this unfamiliar woman before her.
Could she be connected to Shen Yi’an somehow?
As confusion filled her mind, Shen Yi’an suddenly grabbed her chin and lifted it slightly.
“Hehe~ Wang Xinyue, try your best to keep living~”
After saying that, Shen Yi’an let go. The cold, sinister smile on her face vanished, returning to calm indifference.
She herself didn’t understand why—there was no thrill of revenge in her heart, nor any trace of pity. It felt as though she had merely completed something that had to be done. Nothing more.
A sudden wave of exhaustion washed over Shen Yi’an. She yawned, blending in with passing pedestrians as she walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Wang Xinyue watched her departing figure. No matter how much anger she felt, she could only swallow it down, lowering her lifeless gaze.
Everything was gone… so quickly, like a nightmare…
This had to be a dream… right?
