Du Xia saw what had happened and quickly reached out to help Xia Yan. The little girl accidentally pulled Xia Yan’s mask to her chin in a flurry.

Du Xia was about to scream in fear of seeing Xia Yan’s terrifying face, but her mouth was agape as she became stunned a moment later.

Xia Yan realized that her face was exposed, and although she tried putting her mask back on, it was already too late. She held Du Xia’s arm and propped herself up.

Meanwhile, Du Xia kept staring at Xia Yan in a daze while Xia Yan smiled. “Let’s keep this a secret, shall we?” Xia Yan said as she gently blinked her eyes.

Du Xia instinctively nodded as if Xia Yan had bewitched her. “Thank you, Du Xia.” After that, Xia Yan walked past the little girl and out of the rattan house.

When Xia Yan passed by, a particularly feminine fragrance brushed past the tip of Du Xia’s nose. The little girl knew that it wasn’t the smell of the rattan house. Instead, it was a warm and comforting aroma that she couldn’t describe.

Xia Yan abruptly turned back to look at Du Xia after passing her. “Can you lead me back to the house? The garden is enormous, and I seem to have gotten lost.”

Du Xia hurriedly walked to Xia Yan’s side and bowed. “Please follow me, Young Madam Mo.” The little girl was puzzled and wondered why she suddenly became respectful toward Xia Yan.

The little girl’s cold and expressionless demeanor disappeared. It probably started when Du Xia saw Xia Yan’s true face. It was fair and delicate, without any scars.

Xia Yan looked like a perfect Goddess with exquisite facial features that an artist had carefully sculpted. If Xia Rou were the most beautiful woman in Jiang City, Xia Yan would be the most attractive woman in the universe.

Du Xia was puzzled as to why Xia Yan would hide her beauty. Nonetheless, she subconsciously wanted to serve and listen to Xia Yan to the best of her abilities.

Xia Yan returned to the living room and couldn’t help but sigh at the sheer size of the Mo family’s residence. Fortunately, Du Xia was with her. Otherwise, she would’ve spent the night lost in the garden.

Xia Yan was about to head upstairs when she saw Qiu Xin exiting the guest room downstairs. Qiu Xin looked back at her and quickly rushed over. “Why haven’t you left this house? Go back to your family!”

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiu Xin with a faint smile. “Who gave you the right to say that? Why do you want me to leave this house? My mother-in-law said I was not allowed to leave.”

“Are you saying you are above my mother-in-law? Is that it, or do you only want to occupy my husband? Is that why you want me to leave?”

“How can you be so shameless?!” Qiu Xin glared at Xia Yan with contempt. “You keep mentioning your mother-in-law and husband. Don’t you find that just a little bit disgusting?!”

Xia Yan looked at Qiu Xin amusingly. “Aren’t I speaking the truth?”

Qiu Xin was furious when she heard Xia Yan’s words. It made her feel uncomfortable all over.

The most infuriating thing about the entire situation to Qiu Xin was that Xia Yin spoke the truth. Qiu Xin started panting heavily, looking p*ssed off.

At that moment, someone quickly walked over from outside the door. “Huh? What are you doing here? Why do you look so unhappy, Qiu Xin? I-Is that Sister-in-law?”

Xia Yan looked at the person and sized them up from head to toe. The person was about 187 centimeters tall and looked energetic with their neatly cut hair. The person had a small head with a lean figure under their jeans and jacket.

Xia Yan couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. The man looked at Xia Yan as if he was examining a commodity. “So, how are you going to repay me, Sister-in-law?” He asked teasingly.

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled at the man. Her eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. “Since you called me sister-in-law, I can’t offer myself to you no matter the price.”

The man was delighted when he heard Xia Yan’s words. He stretched a hand toward Xia Yan and introduced himself, “This is our first meeting, Sister-in-law. My name is Mo Pei!”

Xia Yan then firmly shook Mo Pei’s hand. The two seemed to have gotten off on the right foot, causing Qiu Xin to grit her teeth discreetly. Qiu Xin had been with the Mo family for quite some time, yet she never got along with Mo Pei.

Although this person was Mo He’s cousin, his personality significantly differed from Mo He’s. Mo Pei would deliberately hang out with Mo He all day to spite Qiu Xin.
