  How could this have happened?

  Who had secretly recorded the video?

  ?

  It was definitely not her best friend nor the bodyguards. At that time, Xiao Ying had had no time to record the video, which meant…


  That bespectacled girl!

  Lou Lan immediately called the bodyguards in.

  “Help me investigate someone and teach her a lesson!”


  “Understood.”


  …


  The bespectacled girl returned to her apartment after work, stopping by the supermarket to buy groceries for dinner.

  Just as she was about to finish cooking, she heard a sound at the door.

  She walked to the door suspiciously.

  Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

  A masked man in black walked in with a sharp dagger in his hand.

  “Did you secretly take a video and upload it online?”


  The young girl was so frightened that she stepped back with a pale face. “Yes… You’re twisting the facts and accusing a good person. Of course, I have to clear her name…”


  “You want to clear her name?” The man in black scoffed. “Do you know who you’ve offended?”


  “M-Miss Lou?”


  The man in black said nothing, raising his dagger to stab the girl.

  The young girl screamed and her slender arm suddenly tightened. Suddenly, someone pulled her away and that same person who had pulled her away kicked the abdomen of the man in black.

  The man in black was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

  At tjat moment, countless cameras flashed and he almost could not open his eyes.

  Before the man in black could react, he heard sharp questions thrown at him.

  “Were you sent by Miss Lou to kill the young lady who took the video?”


  “How dare you commit such a crime in broad daylight? Are you disregarding our country’s laws?”


  The man in black wanted to flee in panic, but he clearly did not have the chance to do so.

  When he got up, Xiao Ying grabbed his wrist, took his dagger and threw him over her shoulder.

  …


  The reporters called the police.

  After the man in black was taken away, the reporter interviewed the bespectacled young girl.

  When a reporter faced the camera, he even pointed out sharply that the Lou family would have to bear the responsibility if this kind-hearted girl were to meet with any mishap in the future.

  When the entire video was released in the afternoon, the Lou family had been affected.

  At night, the impact had increased when it was exposed that Lou Lan had hired an assassin.

  When Lou Lan saw the news, she flew into a rage.

  After being scolded by the Old Master, Father Lou returned to the villa and slapped Lou Lan in anger.

  This was the first time Lou Lan had ever been hit by her father since she was young.

  She did not think that she had done anything wrong. It was all Xiao Ying’s fault.

  Her hatred for Xiao Ying deepened.

  …


  After the reporters left, Xiao Ying held the hand of the bespectacled girl. “In the future, the Lou family won’t dare to send anyone to do anything to you. I saw your resume this afternoon. I think that you’ll fit right in at our company. If you’re willing, you can be my assistant in the future.”


  The young girl’s name was Xiao Mai and she was a pure and honest girl. Her family background was poor and she had come out to work very early. She had gotten a university degree from self-studying, and it was her dream to work in this building. Naturally, Xiao Ying would not let her dream be destroyed.

  Tears welled up in Xiao Mai’s eyes. “I’m willing. Thank you, Sister Xiao Ying.”


  …


  Xiao Ying only returned to the palace late at night.

  After a full day, she was exhausted both mentally and physically.

  After Long Ming left the country, he had not contacted her for the entire day and neither had she tried to contact him.

  When she thought of the happiness she had experienced during her vacation, she felt a sense of surrealism.

  She did not understand. If he could not marry her, he could have just told her. Why had he given her promises and hope?

  Fortunately, she hadn’t given him her heart.

  Back in the palace, Wan Bao was already asleep. Xiao Ying took a bath and went to Wan Bao’s princess room.

  Looking at the little girl who was sleeping amongst a pile of dolls, her emotions surged.

  If it wasn’t for Wan Bao, she would have left long ago given her personality.

  Xiao Ying did not return to the master bedroom, but instead, fell asleep beside Wan Bao.

  …


  The next day, Xiao Ying still sent Wan Bao to school as usual before she went to work.

  Yesterday’s news had negatively affected the Lou family, but they had suppressed the news by spending some money.

  Now, there were no longer any news articles about yesterday’s incident on the internet.

  Xiao Ying focused all her attention on her work.

  She had already decided to have a good chat with Long Ming when he returned.

  If they really could not get together, it would be easier for them to part.

  Anyway, she would not let herself be his secret lover.

  The last two times she had been faced with cyber violence, she might very well have gotten depressed if she didn’t have a strong psychological endurance.

  Those insults and words that attacked her were really too despicable.

  That afternoon.

  Xiao Ying received a call from Young Master Qin.

  Since Young Master Qin was here, Cen Xi had asked him to bring some gifts and specialties to Wan Bao.

  Xiao Ying booked a restaurant to treat Young Master Qin to dinner.

  …


  After work, Xiao Ying drove to the restaurant.

  Not long after she arrived at the restaurant, Young Master Qin came over.

  The moment he saw Xiao Ying, Young Master Qin felt that she had lost weight.

  “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to be a Princess Consort soon? Why do you look so haggard?”


  Xiao Ying touched her face. “Do I look very ugly now?”


  “You’re not ugly, but it’s better for women not to be too thin.” Young Master Qin raised his eyebrows. “Your sister knows you best. She knows that you must be under a lot of pressure since you’re going to be a Princess Consort. She asked me to bring you a lot of tonics.”


  “That girl always makes me feel like she’s the older sister.”


  “The two of you have such an enviable relationship!”


  Xiao Ying smiled and was about to invite Young Master Qin to the room when a familiar voice trailed over. “Sister-in-law?”


  Xiao Ying turned back and saw Long Mei coming in from the entrance of the restaurant. Her smile widened. “Mei’er?” After addressing Young Master Qin, Xiao Ying walked toward Long Mei.

  Long Mei had not come to the restaurant alone. A few steps behind her was a tall man.

  The man was wearing a blue leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a diamond earring on his left ear. His hair was cut very short, and his facial features were well-defined and handsome. He was chewing gum, looking wild and arrogant with a hint of uninhibitedness.

  Could this be Long Mei’s boyfriend?

  She had thought that Long Mei would like a mature and cold man like Long Ming.

  Long Mei noticed Xiao Ying’s gaze and turned to look at the man behind her. “Ah Jin, this is the sister-in-law I wanted to bring you to meet last time. It’s such a coincidence that we met today.”


  The man walked to Long Mei’s side and took his hand out of his pocket. He grabbed Long Mei’s shoulder and looked at Xiao Ying. “Hello, Sister-in-law.”


  Xiao Ying could not put a finger on her first impression of Long Mei’s boyfriend. The way he looked at Long Mei probably meant that he really liked her. However, he exuded evilness for some unknown reason.

  Although Long Mei was very outstanding, she was afraid that Long Mei would not be able to subdue him.
