“Ah—”

Xia Jinmian was not frightened when she saw what was inside, but Dou Manni was so terrified that she jumped into Ye Yelin’s arms.

Dou Manni was still trembling in her husband’s arms.

Ye Yelin’s face was thunderous. Ye Moqing turned around and bolted.

Instead of running upstairs, he ran out of the villa. He was terrified that his father would catch him and give him another walloping.

Xia Jinmian immediately closed the cardboard box and handed it to Butler Xu. She was terrifyingly calm.

“Butler, please dispose of these dirty things.”

“Of course, Miss.”

Butler Xu was very surprised. Even Madam was frightened, but this young lady remained so calm.

Xia Jinmian was disgusted by the content of the box, but she was also irate.

She felt that even though Ye Moqing was very rebellious, he would give her some prank toys at most. She did not expect it to be a box full of disgusting living things.

In particular, one of the rats had already been swallowed by the snake. The snake’s body was bulging, and there were many cockroaches crawling around. It was disgusting.

“Sister, are you alright?”

Ye Moliang was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he did not forget to show concern for Xia Jinmian.

Xia Jinmian smiled at him. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll go wash my hands first.”

“Yes, yes!”

Ye Mo nodded his little head, and his small body immediately shrank into the chair.

He has ophidiophobia. He was mindful the red venomous snake had almost bitten him the last time. He might have died if his sister had not saved him.

Dou Manni took a long time to recover. She could not eat dinner anymore, but she was worried that Xia Jinmian was scared by it.

However, she realized that her worries were unnecessary. Little Mian seemed to be very brave and was not frightened at all.

Xia Jinmian returned after washing her hands and ate her dinner. She smiled and said to them, “Uncle, Aunt, I’m done eating.”

“Little Mian…” Dou Manni looked apologetic. “I didn’t expect Third Bub to be so naughty. Don’t worry, I won’t let him stay at home anymore. I’ll chase him out.”

“Aunt, it’s fine. I’m not afraid. Didn’t Third Young Master say that he wanted to prepare a new gift just now? This is my fault. I opened the gift out of curiosity.”

Hearing this, Dou Manni felt even more guilty.

Little Mian was so sensible. If only she were her biological daughter.

After much persuasion, Xia Jinmian finally calmed Dou Manni down and stopped her from chasing Ye Moqing out of the house.

Xia Jinmian tucked Bubba in and read him a bedtime story before returning to her own bedroom.

She did not care much about Ye Moqing’s childish and disgusting prank. But she minded that it scared Aunt and Bubba.

A cold glint flashed across Xia Jinmian’s eyes. She picked up the mathematics textbook and started reading.

Meanwhile, Ye Mohan received the results of the blood test.

The name of the owner of the blood sample was written clearly on the report—Xia Jinmian.

Ye Mohan sat in front of the window wall with his long legs crossed. He squinted his dark eyes at the moonlight outside the window and his thin lips curled up slightly.

This was getting increasingly interesting.

Xia Jinmian was sleeping soundly at around 3 a.m.,. Her usual acuity alerted her that someone had entered the bedroom.

Although she had woken up, she continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

The person came closer and closer.

The cold aura that was as powerful as a king could not be ignored, making Xia Jinmian very vigilant.

This person was not simple!

She suddenly turned over, with her back facing the person. Her hand had already reached for the dagger hidden under the pillow.

Her favorite weapon was a dagger. She also liked to hide a dagger under her pillow. It was her habit.

This habit would not change no matter where she went.

When she turned over, the person seemed to have stopped in his tracks.

However, he only paused for a second before continuing to approach her.
