"Looks like I scared a poor girl," XiChengg said with a mischievous smile on his lips while looking at the retreating back of the Nixxxie.
Han Ju was observing the whole scene from afar and the moment Nixxxie left, she went to her son. "Come with me."
Xi Cheng obediently followed his mother to her room. Entering the room, Han Ju made sure to close the door of her room and said while standing in front of him with a serious expression on her face, "What were you trying to do there?"
"You mean with my step-sister?" He asked.
"Hmm!" Han Ju nodded
"I was just talking to my little sister. Can't I do that?" Xi Cheng asked casually.

"You are getting it wrong, mother," he tried to clarify.
"I am not getting anything wrong as I can see the way you keep looking at her when no one is around." Han Ju said, making him speechless for a moment.
Xi Cheng gave out a deep sigh and said, "I was just teasing her, mother."
"Remember one thing, I can tolerate anything you do but not this. Even if you are my son, I can see you as a murderer but not the one who will force himself on a woman or disrespect them." Han Ju was not ready to let it slide.
In the past Han Ju had gone through a struggle and she was aware of the way how men treat the women when they are powerless and hated it the most. Other than the good future for her only son, it was one of the reasons for her greed for money and power as she never wanted to be treated like that ever again in her life.
"Mother, your son can be the worst man in the world but he can't fall so low in his life to do something like this to any woman even if she is my enemy." These words from Xi Cheng were genuine and he meant it.
"So take her out from your brain as you know..."
Xi Cheng spoke before his mother could say anything further, "Rest assure mother. My sister is pretty so it's normal for any man to look at her like this but she is still my sister and I won't ever forget it. I won't hesitate to kill her for my benefit but I won't harm her in other ways. It was just to scare her as she was going on a date. How can I see her happy and not spoil her happy moment?"
Stepping towards the chair in her room, she said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Mother, don't think too much. Just keep in mind that nothing is more important for me than money and power," He said to assure his mother.
Han Ju sat in the chair and said, "Good to know it and instead of me, you should keep it in your mind that nothing should be important for you more than what you have now after so much effort."
"Okay, mother. I will remember it. I will take leave now."
Han Ju nodded and closed her eyes to rest in a chair while Xi Cheng left the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStepping faster, Nixxxie reached the gate but she stopped and tried to relax, inhaling deeply a few more times so that Jiang Yang won't be able to sense that something was wrong with her. Through the huge iron gate, Nixxxie saw Jiang Yang was standing outside of the car while resting his back to the door of the car with both hands tucked in his pant's pockets.
For her, he was the most handsome man in the world. In that grey suit, he looked exceptionally handsome. She found him attractive even in his doctor's white apron but what she was watching right now was something that made her heart beat faster.
Seeing him, Nixxxie felt relieved and forgot what happened just a while ago. Having a pleasant smile on her face, she stepped towards him. Jiang Yang's sight moved towards the gate as he heard the sound of the gate being opened and he saw Nixxxie coming towards him.
The moment Jiang Yang's sight fell on her, he couldn't move it for even a single moment. She looked totally different from her usual self and it was surprising for him. He always saw her in not so feminine clothes as she always preferred to wear a simple top with jeans and shoes but he liked her the way she was.
Nixxxie never wore makeup but that day she had it. Her hair, that she always tied in a ponytail, she left them open, parted on one side and few strands of hair falling in front of her both shoulders. She even wore a tiny diamond hairpin to secure front hair on one side.
Jiang Yang started to observe her head to toe, not wanting to miss any detail about her changed look.
She was wearing an A-line scoop knee-length sleeveless white tulle dress. The top part of the dress had multicolor flower embroidery till her waist with multicolor beads on them while from her waist to her knees, it was all white tulle cloth that went along with her fair and delicate skin.
Instead of shoes, she was wearing white sandals with high heels and her feet looked pretty in it. Other than having makeup on her face, her nails were painted and that was the one more change. That tomboy Nixxxie was nowhere to be seen and Jiang Yang was not getting enough of her beauty.
When Nixxxie reached in front of him, Jiang Yang was still staring at her that made her feel uneasy. She made a sound as clearing a throat that brought him back to his senses.
Exhaling out from his mouth, Jiang Yang said while looking into her pretty and bright eyes, "I didn't know you were planning to give me a heart attack with your beauty. Thank go I am a cardiologist and I know how to take care of my heart."
