  Yi Fan stared at Young Master Xiaojie, who had rushed over after he heard that Young Master had brought a woman back with him. He sighed, being put in a difficult spot. “Small Young Master, Young Master has already gone to rest. He will go and see you tomorrow morning……”


  “I don’t care, I just want to see him. If he wants to find a step-mother for me, then I won’t stay here anymore!”


  Although Xiaojie had never put on the poise of a typical young master, he would always stand up to anyone or anything that would harm his Pretty Zhizhi. And right now, he was irate.

  He would never be afraid of his daddy, who all the servants in the manor were afraid of.

  Yi Fan stared at Xiaojie, who was as stubborn as Mu Sihan when he was angry. He was thinking if he should go up to report this when he saw the man himself walking down the stairs with heavy steps from the corner of his eye.

  “Young Master.”


  The man waved his hand with a cold expression. “You’re dismissed.”


  When they were the only ones left in the living room, the two of them stared at each other without a sound for a few seconds. Xiaojie was still young after all, and could not stop himself from saying what he felt. He lifted his small chin up as he glared at the expressionless man with his bright black eyes, “I heard you brought a woman back with you. Are you planning to get a step-mother for me? If you dare to get a step-mother for me, I’ll call Uncle Gu immediately and let him be my daddy!”


  The man raised his eyebrow slightly as he stared at the exquisite-looking child in front of him. “You’re the son of the person whose blood runs in you. Regardless of what you say, it’s something that cannot be changed in your entire life.”


  “Then are you making the woman you brought back my step-mother?”


  “No. She’s the woman I like, not the one your daddy likes.”


  Xiaojie furrowed his small eyebrows when he heard the man’s indifferent words. Why did his daddy speak so weirdly tonight?

  Did his intelligence deteriorate? Why did he not understand what his daddy was saying?

  “It’s late, go back and sleep.”


  Xiaojie was carried back to his room by him forcefully and he left coldly after throwing Xiaojie onto the bed.

  He did not tell him a story or give him a goodnight kiss as usual.

  What was wrong with Daddy tonight?……

  The man returned to his room and took out a diary.

  He flipped to a page that documented the incident that happened when his younger brother and he were eight-years-old.

  The two brothers had been kidnapped and kept in a pitch-black room that year. Four or five men walked in, wanting to defile the two brothers and he stepped in to stop them from harming his younger brother. Back then, he had almost died.

  But in the end, he had survived.

  When they were twelve, his younger brother hated all the politics, the dirty tactics and endless scheming. He took a step forward to take the burden and with that, he set his younger brother free.

  When they were twenty-years-old, the princess from A Country fell for his younger brother, who had started his own business. She did all she could to marry him. His younger brother did not like her, but it was a must for the two countries to unite by marriage. He stepped up once more and took the burden for his younger brother.

  Xue’er was the first accident in his life. He had been attracted by her pureness and beauty from the first time he saw her with his younger brother.

  The only selfish thing he did to his younger brother in his life was to steal Xue’er away.

  The pain in his heart was too much. He did not want to be so righteous anymore, and think for his younger brother first. He wanted to be with Xue’er and spend an ordinary life with her.

  He wanted to live.

  Although he did not want to be ruthless to his younger brother’s woman, he wanted to be selfish for once and occupy his younger brother’s body. That was why he couldn’t let his younger brother develop feelings for another woman.

  He had to replace him!

  It was the only way……

  Nan Zhi downed the ginger tea Auntie He prepared for her and took a warm bath after she returned to her apartment.

  She went to work as usual the next day after sleeping and video-called Xiaojie as though nothing had happened.

  Xiaojie did not tell her about his daddy bringing a woman home in the video call. He heard from Butler Yi that she was daddy’s younger sister.

  He did not know if it was real or a lie. He planned to wait for Pretty Zhizhi to visit him at the manor before he told her……

  Two days later, Nan Zhi received a call from Xia Yanran when she was almost done with work.

  “Zhizhi, are you free tonight? I want to go to the mall and buy some things for my godson.”


  Nan Zhi asked in concern when she heard the slight choking in Xia Yanran’s voice, “Yanran, what happened to you?”


  Xia Yanran did not hide anything from Nan Zhi. “I broke up with Yi Fan. Xiao Yi forced himself on me again last night. I can’t take it anymore. I couldn’t do this to Yi Fan. He threw me a black card, and he’s officially started to support me financially.

  “Zhizhi, I thought of every way I could, but I still couldn’t run away from him. I can only regain my freedom once he gets tired of me.”


  Nan Zhi’s heart was heavy.

  These men were all animals, complete assholes!

  Nan Zhi’s emotions that she had been suppressing and acted like nothing had happened for the past few days, became slightly uncontrolled at the thought of Mu Sihan, and she broke down a little.

  He was the one who first said to get together, but he was also the one who had left first, abandoning her like useless trash on the ground.

  He had his old love, yet she could only struggle in the depths of pain.

  He was so cruel!

  “Zhizhi, are you unwell?” They had been best friends for a few years after all, and Xia Yanran could feel that something was wrong through the call, even though Nan Zhi did not reveal anything.

  Nan Zhi pursed her lips as her voice was slightly choked, “Let’s meet at the mall later!”
