A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1420 - 278: Foe or Friend, Infinite Possibilities (Part 5)

Upon learning the truth, Wang Xue nearly coughed up blood.

But she quickly accepted the reality; nothing could be worse than this. It seemed like this man was either wealthy or noble, which was better than dealing with lowly thugs, right?

Hui Yingzhe shot her a look of disgust, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get out!"

Wang Xue immediately got up, picked up the clothes from the floor. She was undressed, her graceful figure was voluptuous and enticing. Hui Yingzhe’s eyes glanced over her, and somehow he recalled last night’s madness. His throat moved slightly, and he turned away.

Wang Xue noticed his little gesture, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

The robe was torn to shreds by Hui Yingzhe, unable to cover her properly. She couldn’t possibly go out like this.

"Wait."

Wang Xue paused in her steps but did not turn around.

"Aunt Zhang," Hui Yingzhe called out.

Soon, a sharp and efficient-looking woman entered the doorway, respectfully speaking, "What is your command, young master?"

"Take her down to get a change of clothes."

Aunt Zhang’s gaze quickly skimmed over Wang Xue, and she said blandly, "Miss, please follow me."

Wang Xue glanced at Hui Yingzhe and obediently followed Aunt Zhang downstairs. She neither cried nor made a fuss, not even glancing back at Hui Yingzhe, which made him feel uncomfortable deep down.

Wang Xue tried to ask questions indirectly, but Aunt Zhang simply smiled and finally said, "You’re not the first woman the young master has brought back, and you certainly won’t be the last. Young girl, take the advice of an older woman: it’s best not to get emotionally invested."

Wang Xue raised an eyebrow, "Do you tell this to every woman who comes here, Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang had intelligent, shrewd eyes, "I’m merely advising from a woman’s perspective. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang," Wang Xue said sincerely.

This villa was large and luxurious. After secretly assessing it, Wang Xue was about to leave when Aunt Zhang said, "You should go bid farewell to the young master before you go."

Wang Xue smiled, "Thanks for the reminder." With that, she headed upstairs.

"Master Hui, I’m leaving. What happened last night, I’ll consider it as never happening. From now on, we go our separate ways." The woman’s gentle voice sounded low from outside the door.

Hui Yingzhe irritably ran a hand through his hair.

"Just get out."

Wang Xue’s eyes dimmed slightly, feeling that this man was unpredictable, making her even more fearful.

Just as she turned to leave, a voice called out again, "What’s your name?"

Wang Xue squinted her eyes slightly, "Wang Xue, my name is Wang Xue."

The next day, Yun Ya slept until late morning. Normally, Yan Xing would come to wake her up, but today there was no sign of her. Yun Ya had stayed up late the previous night, and Ah Yun didn’t have the heart to wake her, so she slept until nearly noon.

Zhuang Xiyue had come by in the meantime, but hearing Yun Ya hadn’t gotten up yet, she just left with a smile.

Yun Ya, still groggy from sleep, rolled over and instinctively reached out to touch the pillow beside her, only to find it empty. She couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

Everything from last night was vividly clear in her mind, and she pulled the quilt over her head and rolled around under it.

After a long while of dawdling, she finally got up. Yun Ya pushed open the window; today was the onset of spring, and the weather would soon warm up. It was a bright sunny day, absolutely perfect, and even the wind carried a hint of fresh brightness.

Yun Ya poured herself a glass of water to drink. At this moment, Ah Yun heard the movement and pushed the door open, "Miss, you’re awake."

Yun Ya nodded and, thinking of something, asked, "How come Xingxing didn’t come today?"

Ah Yun then smiled and said, "Miss might not know, but the First Lady took Miss Xing to Singapore."

"Singapore? Why did they go to Singapore? When did they leave?"

Ah Yun, who liked to chat with the Yan Family’s servants and was quite familiar with them, knew gossip spread fastest among them, and found out effortlessly.

"It was yesterday morning. I heard Yan Jin married into Singapore, and the First Lady went to visit her. The Third Lady was almost frantic trying to find the First Lady, and she’s still bedridden now."

Yun Ya chuckled at the thought. Meng Shujing indeed moved quickly, leaving without a word, but it was good that they left.

"The Third Lady came by this morning. Seeing Miss was asleep, she said nothing and left," Ah Yun suddenly added.

Yun Ya paused, then suddenly covered her face, feeling so embarrassed she couldn’t face anyone.

After freshening up and having breakfast, she went to see Yan Nanfeng. Yan Hua seemed very happy to see her, pulling out a chair for her and pouring tea, acting like he already considered himself the master here.
