Chapter 1808: Chapter 415: Hidden Intentions, Words Within Words (Second Update)

The Tibetan Mastiff charged straight at Bai Xue, everything happened too quickly, leaving Ning Ziqi no time to react before it pounced on Bai Xue, pinning her to the sofa.

In that moment, Bai Xue’s face turned deathly pale.

Time seemed to freeze at that instant.

"Xue’er..." Ning Ziqi snapped back to reality and rushed forward, but the Tibetan Mastiff suddenly bared its teeth at him, sneezed, and the foul stench from its nose made Ning Ziqi feel a bit nauseous.

Bai Xue lay on the sofa, her face ghostly white, as if she had been scared silly.

"General, come back." A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

General licked Bai Xue’s face, then suddenly bared its teeth at her before jumping off the sofa and bounding joyfully towards a young man descending from the second floor.

The young man wore white clothes, casual and homely attire, yet he wore them with a model’s grace. His tall, slender frame, handsome boyish face, and smile as gentle as a spring breeze. However, if you thought he was as innocent as his appearance, you would be gravely mistaken.

General ran to the young man’s side, spinning around playfully, looking fawningly for praise.

The young man gently patted General’s head and lazily smiled, "You mustn’t be rude to the guests, do you realize your mistake?"

The large Tibetan Mastiff submissively lowered its head, indicating it acknowledged its wrongdoing.

"Second Brother, my pet was unruly and startled this lady, I apologize on its behalf." The young man spoke as he descended the staircase, lazily sitting on the sofa opposite, General lying at his feet.

Ning Ziqi immediately pulled Bai Xue into his arms, looking at her worriedly, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you."

Bai Xue lifted her head from his embrace, a small pale face emerged, shaking her head, "I’m fine."

Ning Ziqi tenderly caressed her face, "I’m sorry... that you were troubled."

With that, he cast a cold glance at the young man sitting across, "Zihuan, can’t you keep your dog on a leash? What if it had bitten Xue’er?"

Ning Zihuan lazily chuckled, "Second Brother, my General never bites people, of course, except for those with ulterior motives."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Bai Xue, a slight curve on his lips.

Bai Xue’s heart trembled slightly, feeling that his words had a hidden meaning. She discreetly eyed the young man, who appeared quite harmless, yet she knew this young man wasn’t as simple and innocent as he seemed. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

But even though this young man was not to be underestimated, he couldn’t possibly know her identity.

It must be her overthinking.

Steadying herself, she tugged Ning Ziqi’s sleeve, speaking softly, "Ziqi, I’m fine, don’t argue with your brother over me."

After speaking, she pursed her lips looking at General, and smiled, "Is it called General? It’s quite cute."

Cute? Ning Zihuan sneered with a curl of his lips.

General suddenly straightened half of its body, barking fiercely at Bai Xue, baring its teeth viciously. Ning Qinghua and Ning Qinghuan, waking from a nightmare, tumbled from the sofa.

Bai Xue’s face remained unchanged, her nails dug deep into her palm to maintain her composure through the pain.

"Zihuan, don’t go too far." Ning Ziqi placed a hand on Bai Xue’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, and looked coldly at Ning Zihuan.

"Exactly, this dog is too much, might as well slaughter it for dog meat...." Ning Qinghua muttered softly.

General suddenly sprang up, baring its teeth as it charged at Ning Qinghua, pinning him to the sofa. For a moment, the screams of Ning Qinghua were as if echoing from a slaughterhouse.

You dare eat me, I’ll eat you first.

Meanwhile, Ning Qinghuan had already scurried away without a trace when General charged.

"Hmm, General likes beauties, it’s just greeting Miss Bai, does Miss Bai mind?" Ning Zihuan smiled.

Bai Xue pressed her lips into a smile, "Why would I mind?"

The kind of servant reflects the master, this dog was indeed just like Ning Zihuan, arrogant... and detestable.

"Second Brother, see, Miss Bai said she doesn’t mind. My General is so well-behaved, it doesn’t bite anyone, it just likes to play around."

The villa resonated with Ning Qinghua’s heart-wrenching screams.

Ning Ziqi pursed his lips, knowing he couldn’t argue with him, so he simply changed the topic, "I heard you went to the Capital City recently, did you see Big Sister? Is she doing well now?"

Ning Zihuan replied plainly, "You’re aware of Big Sister’s temperament, she wouldn’t let herself be wronged, would she?"

Ning Ziqi smiled knowingly, indeed, Big Sister would never let herself suffer loss, but with a family like the Ye Family, with such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law, it must be chaotic as can be imagined.

Bai Xue, observing Ning Ziqi’s tender smile when mentioning Ning Zijin, felt uneasy. How could he care for another woman besides her? Not even his sister.

"Ziqi, I need to use the bathroom, will you come with me?"

Bai Xue whispered softly.

Ning Ziqi lowered his head to look at her and smiled, "Alright."

With that, he led her to his room on the second floor.

Ning Zihuan glanced at the departing pair and snapped his fingers. General wobbled back, obediently nuzzling against Ning Zihuan’s leg.

His room, though long unoccupied, was kept clean and tidy by daily cleaning.

Bai Xue had been in the bathroom for a while, Ning Ziqi knocked on the door, concerned, "Xue’er, are you alright?"

Bai Xue’s faint voice drifted out, "Ziqi, I... I’m on my period, but I’m not prepared... could you buy some for me?"

Ning Ziqi was taken aback, then realized what she meant, and his cheeks flushed red.

"You wait for me, I’ll go buy it right now." With that, he grabbed his car keys and left the house.

After Ning Ziqi left, Bai Xue exited the bathroom with a cold smile on her lips, holding a tissue in her hand, vigorously wiping her neck; that wretched dog disgusted her to no end. When the opportunity arose, she would definitely slaughter it for dog meat.

Approaching the door, she pressed her ear against it, listened carefully to ensure no one was around, then opened the door and slipped out.

Quickly opening the door of the neighboring room, she slipped inside and glanced around. The room was clean and tidy, with a minimalist style, and she had noticed that Ning Zihuan had emerged from this room earlier.

So this was Ning Zihuan’s room?

She quickly surveyed the room, noticing a photograph on the bedside table of a girl with striking features, elegant and gentle, someone who could be seen as soon as one opened their eyes each day.

She couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.

Ning Zihuan’s intentions were as clear as day.

The person in the photo was none other than Ji Yunya.

She took out the prepared items, wearing white gloves, she first placed the timed bomb under the bedboard, then sprinkled poison into the kettle, ensuring no traces were left. She glanced at the eyes in the photograph and lifted her chin slightly.

Ji Yunya, watch carefully, this time, I will leave you with no place for burial.

Bai Xue didn’t linger, quietly exiting the room and returning to Ning Ziqi’s room.

In the shadows, Jing He curled his lips, everything had gone as the Third Young Master predicted. Should it be said that she was audacious to the point of recklessness? Or as foolish as a pig?

Playing tricks under the Third Young Master’s nose, courting death.

Ning Ziqi returned quickly, handling this task himself without entrusting it to anyone else, he went to the nearby supermarket and bought the necessary items. After handing them into the bathroom, he suddenly furrowed his brow, "Xue’er, the timing seems off, didn’t it just pass half a month ago?"

Bai Xue’s heart skipped a beat, oh no, she forgot about that.
