“Aren’t they all brains…” An Xiaxia mumbled .

“No, yours is water . ”
An Xiaxia only realized what he meant after a moment . “Are you suggesting that I’m a dummy?”
Sheng Yize smiled .
“Who was that person?” he asked An Xiaxia in a serious tone .
An Xiaxia shook her head . “I want to know that myself . ”
Sheng Yize frowned and carried her to the bed . “Get some sleep . I’ll take it from here . ”
“Hm . ” An Xiaxia closed her eyes as told, but wouldn’t let go of his arm .

She had been really terrified this time . It had been a while since he last saw her this clingy .
Sheng Yize held her hand and warmed it between his palms .
At this distance, she could make out the faint smell of cigarettes on him . An Xiaxia sniffed and asked in her sleepy voice, “Have you been smoking again?”
Sheng Yize was taken by surprise, but didn’t deny it . “Yes, I’m trying to quit, but it’s quite hard when I’m under a lot of pressure… I won’t do it again . ”
Seeing him this considerate, An Xiaxia only felt all the more abashed .
“It’s okay… It’s not that big a deal to have one smoke or two . ” Smoking and drinking were inevitable when he engaged in social activities all the time .
“That’s very thoughtful of you . ” Sheng Yize smiled a little and brushed some loose hair away from her face to hook it behind her ears . She asked again in a dreamy voice, “Did you never look for me all these years? Truly not?”

He chuckled, “You really are… a dummy . ”
He could have been laughing at An Xiaxia or himself .
When she woke up again, they were on a plane already .
An Xiaxia asked, still half asleep, “Are we going home?”
The sound of “home” softened Sheng Yize’s heart .
“You can’t stay at home or on that island . I’m sending you to stay with a friend . It’ll be safe there . ”

An Xiaxia pouted . “I told you I don’t want the inheritance . Is that not enough?”
“Wake up already, my innocent Mrs . Sheng . ” Sheng Yize flicked her forehead . “Accepting the inheritance or not, it’s no longer up to you . The internal struggle within the Sheng family has blown up at the moment . Even if you don’t want it, Mr . Song’s supporters will do their best to stuff it into your hands . In the current situation, you’d be a walking target back at home! Everyone will try to take a shot!”
An Xiaxia was a little scared and curled up, holding her blanket . “I don’t want to be shot at!”
“There, there . You’ll only take shots from me . ” Sheng Yize gave her an affectionate look .
That didn’t sound right!
“So… are you going to help Mr . Song?” An Xiaxia changed the subject right away .
Sheng Yize nodded . “Yes . He’s a scumbag, but it was nice of him to leave all his money to you . ”
“So what . I know he’s got money…” An Xiaxia wasn’t happy to hear his name .
“You have no idea how rich he is, do you?” Sheng Yize was baffled . “Let me give you an example . If the life I give you allows you to buy two cups of soya milk and throw one away, he can buy you the entire soya milk shop . ”
An Xiaxia could practically see money signs floating in the air . “Wow!”
“You’re hopeless!” Sheng Yize shook out a newspaper in his hands and an idea suddenly dawned on him . Turning around, he said earnestly, “Xiaxia, I’ll help you with the right of inheritance and after that, be my sugar mummy! I know how to warm a heart, a stomach, and a bed~”
“… You’ve changed, Blacky Sheng! That’s such a depraved idea!”
“Is it? But I think I’ll be very happy to be a gigolo eating off of my wife’s plate…” Sheng Yize said seriously .
An Xiaxia was nonplussed . Hello, Bureau of Civil Affairs? Can I choose another husband now?
