    “Ye Leng’an, you’re asking for trouble!”


    Hearing these scornful words, Ye Xiyuan could no longer restrain her emotions. Taking a bold step forward, she raised her hand, intending to p Ye Leng’an across the face.<div>


    Ye Leng’an wasn’t one to passively endure a beating. A glint of coldness shed in her eyes, and she swiftly reached out to grab Ye Xiyuan’s descending hand. Simultaneously, her other hand rose, delivering a resounding p to Ye Xiyuan’s face.


    The impact left Ye Xiyuan’s cheeks visibly swollen


    Momentarily stunned by the p, Ye Xiyuan quickly regainedposure when the pain set in. Filled with resentment, she dered, “Ye Leng’an, I’ll kill you.”


    With her eyes now reddened, Ye Xiyuan’s gaze dripped with slow-burning hatred. If it weren’t for Ye Leng’an’s firm grip on her hand, a physical brawl would have likely erupted.


    Yet, even in a physical confrontation, Ye Xiyuan would hardly stand a chance against Ye Leng’an. Each encounter ended with Ye Leng’an overpowering her, but she persisted in her misguided defiance.


    “Ye Xiyuan, you’re like a persistent cockroach!” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a cold smile as she addressed the proximity between them. “Despite repeated setbacks, you cling to your pursuits. If only you invested this energy into studying, you might have made it to university by now, instead of falling short.”


    Ye Xiyuan, stung by the mention of her college entrance exam results, suddenly connected the dots. She raised her head and used, “It’s you, isn’t it? Because of you, the exam papers were altered this year, right?”


    Initially not considering this possibility, the sight of Ye Leng’an triggered the realization. Among those aware of her rebirth, only Ye Leng’an fit the bill. It was likely that Ye Leng’an, knowing she would take the exam, manipted the questions.


    “So what?” Ye Leng’an sneered. “Knowing the questions in advance isn’t fair to other candidates, is it?”


    Her intent was rooted in fairness, aiming to rectify the disadvantage caused by her foreknowledge. Unaware that Ye Xiyuan was also taking the exam, Ye Leng’an only learned of itter.


    Nevertheless, the situation worked out well. From everyone’s perspective, it was the fairest approach.<div>


    “Ye Leng’an, you’re truly despicable.” With Ye Leng’an’s confirmation, Ye Xiyuan’s disdain overflowed. “You can’t stand to see me seed. Because of you, I fell behind. Ye Leng’an, you’ve ruined me, and I won’t let you off.”


    “Your inability to seed is due to yourck ofpetence,” Ye Leng’an retorted with amusement. “Ye Xiyuan, you attempt to exploit loopholes rather than putting in genuine effort. Don’t me others for your failures; it’s your own problem.”


    Unfazed by Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Xiyuan persisted in believing that her exam performance suffered solely due to Ye Leng’an’s interference.


    “Ye Xiyuan, you want to kill me, don’t you?” Ye Leng’an mocked. “Unfortunately, youck the strength. But if I want to kill you, it will be effortless.”


    Though delivered in a soft tone, Ye Leng’an’s words held an indifferent quality, as if discussing the weather. Yet, from her tone, Ye Xiyuan sensed genuine intent to carry out such an act.


    Realizing this, Ye Xiyuan shuddered. “Ye Leng’an, you can’t kill me. It’s against thew.”


    “Is that so?” Ye Leng’an smiled. “As long as I do it discreetly, who would know I killed you? Have you forgotten? How did your system vanish without a trace? I could destroy your system; do you think I couldn’t kill you?”


    Ye Xiyuan trembled at the thought. She regretted provoking Ye Leng’an at this moment.


    The icy re, indifferent tone – every element conveyed Ye Leng’an’s contempt for her life. It was as if she were nothing more than an ant in Ye Leng’an’s grasp, easily crushed at any moment.


    “No, Ye Leng’an, you can’t say you want to kill me.” Trembling, Ye Xiyuan protested. “I’ll tell you, I’m now part of the Nangong family. If you dare to harm me, not even Master Huangfu can protect you.”


    Hearing this, Ye Leng’an paused, visibly perplexed. “Ye Xiyuan, what nonsense are you talking about?”<div>


    “I’m not talking nonsense.” Ye Xiyuan stood proudly, looking at Ye Leng’an triumphantly. “Ye Lng’an, I’ll have you know I’m about to marry Nangong Riming. Do you know who he is? He’s a direct descendant of the Nangong family, the cousin of Nangong Xuyao. If you dare to touch me, the Nangong family won’t spare you.”


    With these thoughts, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph. Despite Ye Leng’an being the girlfriend of the head of the Huangfu family, it was merely a title without substantial significance. In contrast, she was different – she was already the fiancée of Nangong Riming.


    She had managed to secure an engagement with Nangong Riming after the college entrance exams.


    This fact had protected her from severe repercussions at home, despite the drastic change in her family’s attitude post-exams. She was not only the daughter of the Ye family but also Nangong Riming’s fiancée.


    “So what?” Ye Leng’an dismissed. “Even if I kill you, what can Nangong Riming do to me? He’s just an illegitimate child of the Nangong family. Should I be afraid?”


    Not to mention Nangong Riming, even facing Nangong Xuyao didn’t intimidate her. However, she couldn’t help but admire Ye Xiyuan. Truly, she was like a cockroach difficult to terminate! No matter the circumstances, she managed to seize opportunities to climb higher.


    “Ye Leng’an, you…” Ye Xiyuan seethed. “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have Master Huangfu backing you. You’re just a pawn of the Huangfu family, and you could be discarded at any time.”
