Chapter 19: Astonishment

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes narrowed, his right leg quickly lifted and kicked towards his lower body. This kick was fast and ruthless, if it hit its mark, he might...

  She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child and didn't want to be bullied, so she could only make herself stronger and stronger, therefore, her judo skills are very good.

  Bai Yichen was startled and his body subconsciously dodged to the side, barely avoiding it. However, his hand that was gripping her wrist also loosened its hold.

  "Does she really hate me that much?" White Yichen's eyes narrowed and he let out a low, urgent growl, as if she was trying to...

  Although he had just dodged it, that strong gust of wind still made his heart tremble.

  She's too ruthless.

  Regaining her freedom, she took a few steps back, gazing at him with dim eyes, her red lips moving slightly as she whispered "No resentment." However, the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint cold sneer.

  It seems this man still doesn't understand and thinks she's doing all this just to annoy him.

  He thought all women should revolve around him, so he couldn't accept her divorce.

  Bai Yichen heard her words, slightly stunned for a moment, but his eyes quickly flashed with a hint of delight. He knew she was just being stubborn, and it was because she was angry at him in her heart.

  She wanted to make a scene, so he went along with her, unguarded. For the first time in his heart, he wanted to spoil a woman.

  In response to the joy in his eyes, Meng Fu Ying's heart secretly sneered, her red lips slightly opened, and she slowly said word by word again, "Because there is no love, so I don't hate. Now, I have no heart, no feelings, and no desires for you."

  Since he didn't understand, she might as well speak more clearly.

  Let him thoroughly lose heart.

  Bai Yichen's body suddenly stiffened, and the joy in his eyes was quickly overwhelmed by shock.

  No heart, no feeling, and no desire?

  A heartless, emotionless, and selfless one.

  Bai Yichen's hands clenched unconsciously, and his eyes also flashed with anger as he said harshly, "No, it's impossible. You used to love me so much, it's impossible that you would change all of a sudden."

  "People will always change, and besides, in the past, I was just too young and didn't understand things. Once I understood, naturally there wouldn't be any more entanglements." She said slowly again, and this time, she even directly denied her previous feelings for Bai Yichen.

  It's just too small and doesn't understand things.

  Bai Yichen's hand tightened again, his eyes slightly sank, but this time he didn't roar in anger. Instead, he suddenly spoke softly, "No more entanglement? Rufeng, it seems that our relationship is doomed to be entangled forever. In the past, you were entangled with me, and now it's my turn to chase after you."

  She would never be able to avoid him for the rest of her life.

  "Oh?" Meng Fu Ying slightly raised an eyebrow, "Does the young master mean to say that he wants me to hate him just as I used to hate him in the past?"

  Chase her? Ha! How ridiculous. In her memory, there was a clear image of Meng Fu chasing after him in the past.

  Although it is said that every time it was Feng Yuxuan and Meng Ruxue who were causing trouble, he couldn't possibly not know, being as astute as he was.

  Now he's really lost it, actually saying something like this.

  Bai Yichen's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes hid a hint of guilt. He continued to say, "I know it was my fault before, but I'll make it up to you properly from now on."

  As they spoke, his hand reached out and tried to put his arm around her.

  "It's not necessary, I'm no longer interested. As long as Bai Gongzi agrees to the divorce, I'll be grateful." Meng Fu Ying flashed slightly, avoiding it without a trace, her cold and clear voice devoid of any emotion.

  If he had said such words to Meng Fu Ying in the past, she would have been deeply moved and extremely happy at that time.

  Unfortunately, she is no longer the Meng Cuiying of the past. For such an unfeeling man, no matter how excellent he may be, she doesn't care about him anymore.

  Bai Yichen gazed into her eyes, and once again, a wave of anger surged through him. He had said all the nice things he could think of, but to his surprise, she still had this attitude. And that sentence, "I'm not interested", was a harsh blow to him.

  "No matter how resentful or hateful you are, this time I will absolutely not let go." The slightly raised voice was filled with a fiercely suppressed anger, yet also with an unyielding determination.

  Meng Fu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes had a few more hints of coldness. This man was truly unreasonable.

  "You don't need to go ask the Empress Dowager, it's useless even if you do. The war in the North is about to break out again, and Master Hou will be leaving for battle in five days. This time, more than half of the expenses are being borne by the White Manor. Do you think that without my consent, the Emperor would issue an edict to dissolve our engagement? So, I advise you not to waste your energy." Bai Yichen said with a mixture of arrogance and complacency, seeing her silence.

  He also didn't want her to understand the current situation, so as to avoid her having a restless mind.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Having money is nothing impressive? She hates people like this the most.

  She also knew that Father would go out in five days, but she didn't think of it, this expense was paid by the White House...

  For a moment, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly had a perfect plan in mind.

  "Alright, let's see how things go." A sly and seductive smile slowly spread across the corners of his lips.

  As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't even give him a second glance, quickly turned around and left. For him, she had no lingering attachment, no reluctance to part with him.

  In modern times, no one knows that she has another unique skill. When she first came out of the orphanage, she met a strange person.

  That man was a true heroic thief, as long as he wanted something, there was nothing he couldn't get. During the War of Resistance against Japan, he stole supplies and intelligence from the Japanese devils, and in the midst of wind and rain, he never lost his hand.

  He saw her at first sight and insisted on accepting her as his apprentice, saying that she was quick-handed, quick-eyed, and even quicker-witted.

  She couldn't push him away and thought it was fun, so she followed suit and learned from him. He, however, passed on all his skills to her.

  Although he got his true legacy, he was forced by him to swear that the stolen money could not be used for personal use.

  It's better if I didn't learn it at all.

  So in modern times, she never had the opportunity to show off this second skill, but today, it finally came in handy.

  Bai Yichen, you're very rich, aren't you?

  Is it very cool?

  If he is going on an expedition, whether or not he pays for his expenses...

  The evil smile at the corner of her lips slowly unfolded.

  Since he disagreed with the divorce and did not agree to a peaceful solution, don't blame her.

  However, there is still one thing missing - a man who can match Bai Yichen in terms of aura, background and power to work with her to complete this plan.

  This man...

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly.

  As soon as he returned to the mansion, Qing Zhu hurriedly came over and said, "Master, are you alright?"

  The master didn't let her follow him all day today, scaring her so much that she's been on edge here, especially after hearing Donger talk about what happened today. Her heart is even more suspended.

  Suddenly, she smelled the wine on Meng Fu Ying's body, slightly furrowed her brow and softly called out, "Master, you've been drinking!" Quickly turning to Dong Er by her side, she urgently said, "Quickly, quickly go get Master a bowl of hangover soup."

  "It's nothing." Meng Fuying saw her tense appearance, somewhat amused, but also felt warmth in his heart. This girl was wholeheartedly good to him.

  "It's nothing, Master didn't let Qing Zhu follow, almost got trapped by Feng Yu Xuan." Qing Zhu said with a hint of anger in her tone.

  Meng Fu Ying's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, relying on rumors and hearsay? How could they possibly frame her.

  She didn't let Qing Zhu follow her today, just knowing they would play tricks. Originally, she was thinking of letting Meng Ruxue show up, but Meng Ruxue turned out to be even more cunning than she had imagined.

  It's better this way, it's more exciting to play like this.

  "Feng Yulan is just a pawn, I'm more interested in the one who's plotting behind her." Meng Fuying walked into the room and said casually, his eyes scanning the maids in the room with a faint smile.

  She knew there was a mole of Meng Ruxue here, but she didn't mind letting the mole help spread the message. She just wanted to force Meng Ruxue to take action, so that she could catch her fox tail.

  Qing Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood her meaning, and responded in agreement, "Yes, we must catch that person."

  Seeing Qiuer standing at the back, Meng Cuiying's eyes flashed with a hint of subtle smile.

  The fourth night.

  Qiao dressed up and sneaked into the White House quietly, relying on her extremely keen judgment, she soon found the treasure house of the White family.

  Seeing the silver in front of him, Meng Fu's shadow was stunned. The silver of this White House is indeed abundant.

  It seems she has something to attend to tonight.

  When she finally moved out the last box of silver, she let out a quiet sigh.

  She's so annoying, it's killing me.

  Finally moved.

  Tomorrow is the day Father sets out on his campaign, which is also when Bai Yichen presents the silver.

  Even if Bai Yichen had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible to come up with that much silver in just one day. So, tomorrow, it's her turn to put on a good show.

  She deliberately chose this last day, just to make Bai Yichen have no chance of turning back.

  "Not bad." Just as she was secretly pleased with herself, a slightly lazy voice suddenly came from the darkness.

  Let Meng Fu Ying be thoroughly shocked.
