An Xiaxia nibbled her fingers and racked her brain . After much hesitation, she finally nodded . “I think… I’ll still like you . ”
That perfunctory answer didn’t please Mr . Sheng at all, and he now gave An Xiaxia a resentful look .
“Xiaxia, I didn’t expect you to be this superficial . ”
“Hm… I was just thinking that by the time our appearances change, it will be so many years later . After being together for all that time, our love will have become the affection between family members, wouldn’t it? There will be no ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ to talk about . ”
Sheng Yize listened in silence, then bent down and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth . “No, they wouldn’t be . ”
Love was love .
True love wouldn’t disappear with the passage of time .
It would be like making wine — the love would accumulate and become stronger .
An Xiaxia snuggled into his arms and wriggled around until she found the most comfortable position . “In that case, you’ll have to love me for the rest of my life . ”
“Alright . ”
“And in the next life?”
Sheng Yize said nothing .
An Xiaxia pounded his chest in vexation . “Hey, you shouldn’t stop mid-sentence when you’re confessing your love!”
Sheng Yize caught her hand and kissed it . He then said in resignation, “I don’t believe in gods or ghosts, so I can’t promise you things to do with the next life . ”
But I can promise that in this life, starting from now and for every second after this, I’ll spare nothing to love you .
He didn’t say the second part out loud, but An Xiaxia saw the intense emotion in his brooding black eyes .
“Alright… I guess spending this lifetime together is enough for now . ”
Sheng Yize played with her soft hair and lowered his gaze . “Why haven’t you asked me about Li Fanxing? How would you like to get your revenge? Tell me . ”
“Wow, so tough!” An Xiaxia sighed in amazement . “Let me think . Hm… I think I don’t want to see her again for as long as I live . ”
It was time to put an end to this nightmare that had been bothering her since her teenage years .
The light in Sheng Yize’s eyes dimmed and he hummed in a low voice .
“Consider it done . ”
Li Fanxing had lost all standing and reputation by now . Their family business was bankrupt and Li Jiang couldn’t care less whether she lived or not . She would spend the rest of her days in a prison cell .
An Xiaxia closed her eyes and was about to doze off .
Sheng Yize said quietly, “After you’ve recovered, I’ll take you to see my granny on my mother’s side . ”

“Hm? Granny?” She had never heard Sheng Yize mention her before .
Although they were married and had their own children now, a formal meeting with the elders still made An Xiaxia nervous .
The next day .
Su Xiaomo and Fang Shanshan arrived with bags of tonics to visit An Xiaxia .
“I’m so glad you’re ok . ” Fang Shanshan patted her chest . “You have no idea how terrifying Uncle Sheng looked that night after the fire!”
Seeing the wounds on An Xiaxia’s face, Su Xiaomo felt so sorry for her . “It’s all my fault… I should have brought you along when we ran out . ”
An Xiaxia shook her head . “Li Fanxing wanted to get to me and she could have made a hundred plans for it . Momo, it wasn’t your fault . ”
Despite what An Xiaxia said, Su Xiaomo still took it hard .
“Let me throw her away in Africa and make her dig wells with that Song woman!” Fang Shanshan waved her fists .
An Xiaxia didn’t know what to say . “Shanshan, you’re ruthless…”
“Of course I am . ” Fang Shanshan lifted her chin . “A woman must be fierce if she wants to stay on top . Xiaxia, you’re too soft . I bet Uncle Sheng is also the one who gets his way with everything in bed . Am I right? Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
An Xiaxia was speechless . Why was she suddenly the target?
Fang Shanshan was still showing off her prowess when her phone rang .
Picking it up, she heard Chi Yuanfeng’s manager curse on the other end . “Shit! Shanshan, get over here now! Some slut is going to rape your Fengfeng!”
