Chapter 1
"Cousin, to be honest with you, Brother Yao never actually loved you. He got close to you all for the sake of the group. Now, he's already established himself in the group, and your existence is meaningless."
"Also, I already have Brother Yao's child in my belly..."
"Mu Xue, why don't you look in the mirror and see what about you makes me like you? Cold as ice, his face never shows any other expression, looking like an ice sculpture. Even holding hands is hesitant, looking like a chaste and virtuous woman. Do you realize that this is actually quite annoying? "
...
Scorching flames surrounded Mu Xue, and everything around her grew increasingly hotter.
She never expected those two deranged people to really dare to kill. She was determined to take revenge...
Just now, her fiancé Zhuang Yao and cousin Cui Xinyan invited her to this wooden cabin, told her the truth about the years, and even knocked her out.
When she came to her senses, she realized that everywhere she saw was red flames.
Mu Xue felt the air she breathed in was burning her nostrils. She ran with all her might toward the door, but the door was already locked from the outside and wouldn't open.
Tears blurred her vision, and hatred made her eyes bloodshot. A blazing rage burst from her chest, hatred filling her entire heart, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent, because she knew that if she couldn't get out, she would be burned alive here. Yet, in the end, she still couldn't open the door and could only collapse weakly on the scorching floor...
The fire burned stronger and stronger. Mu Xue closed her eyes in despair. There was no future, and in this world, there would never be another Mu Xue.
At that moment, the door to the cabin was forcefully kicked open from outside. The next moment, a man in a terrible state rushed in, battered by the fire: "You brat, how are you?" "
The room was filled with thick smoke, so thick it was almost impossible to keep your eyes open. Mu Xue couldn't see who it was, but she knew this voice best—it was the cold words of someone she had rejected for marriage, who had become her mortal enemy ever since.
"You... Why are you here? Mu Xue struggled to utter a few words, reached out and pushed him, "You... Hurry up and go...
"I'll take you away." Leng Yan picked her up and was about to rush out, but at that moment, a burning beam fell, blocking his path, and flames splattered around him.
Mu Xue's consciousness was already starting to blur. She saw Leng Yan holding her and struggling to rush out, but the roof suddenly collapsed, and the fire engulfed the entire wooden house. At the same time, she and Leng Yan were also engulfed.
"Leng Yan, how can you be so foolish? "I treated you like that, and you still ..."
"You brat, don't you know... I like you... "Mu Xue heard this before losing consciousness.
Tears seeped from the corners of her eyes...
...
"Cousin, someone from the Leng family came over. They said they want to discuss your marriage to Leng Yan. What should we do now?"
Cui Xinyan sat by Mu Xue's bedside, speaking anxiously.
Mu Xue looked at Cui Xinyan's anxious expression, her eyes darkening slightly. She tightened her grip under the blanket, struggling to suppress the hatred in her heart, then quietly got up and walked slowly toward the bathroom.
Cui Xinyan saw Mu Xue suddenly get up from the bed and asked in confusion, "Cousin, ...?"
The answer was the closed bathroom door.
Mu Xue stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at her for a full minute, then tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Heh ... She really was reborn, reborn at twenty-two, and when she came back to the Leng family to discuss marriage, it seemed that fate had been kind to her—there was still time!
Leng Yan, in this lifetime, I'm definitely marrying you!
Mu Xue chuckled softly, then quickly washed up. After finishing, she went straight to the walk-in closet.
Looking at the cold-toned black, white, and gray clothes, her brows furrowed tightly.
Cui Xinyan saw her standing in front of the wardrobe lost in thought and asked in confusion, "Cousin, what's wrong?" What are you looking for? "
Mu Xue turned to look at Cui Xinyan. She was wearing a light green dress, looking youthful and beautiful. Her long, jet-black hair flowed naturally, looking well-behaved and sensible—the type the elders really liked.
No wonder after she refused to marry Leng Yan in her previous life, the Leng family immediately turned their attention to her.
If Leng Yan hadn't always refused, Cui Xinyan probably would have married into the Leng family.
Cui Xinyan dresses flamboyantly herself, but always tells her that black and white suit her well, because they suit her Mu CEO aura. Yet she foolishly believes it—it's ridiculous.
Mu Xue ignored her and turned to leave.
Cui Xinyan followed behind Mu Xue with a puzzled look, and she walked to her room with ease, opening her wardrobe.
Cui Xinyan's wardrobe was filled with all kinds of women's clothing, mostly new arrivals of the season, some of which hadn't even removed the tags.
Mu Xue picked out a red dress from a row of new clothes with tags still open, then turned and left.
"Cousin, why are you wearing this outfit?"
Cui Xinyan followed her again, but before she could enter Mu Xue's room, Mu Xue had already closed the door.
Soon, Mu Xue came out after changing clothes. When Cui Xinyan saw Mu Xue wearing her newly bought red dress, she was stunned, because Mu Xue looked absolutely stunning in this dress.
Her skin was snow-white, her features delicate as works of art. She pressed her lips together slightly, her lips flushed without speck, as radiant as summer pomegranate blossoms. This Mu Xue looked both noble and cold.
At that moment, Cui Xinyan couldn't hide her jealousy, but she didn't dare show it. She forced a smile and asked, "Cousin, why are you suddenly dressed like this?" "
Mu Xue didn't answer her, but instead tugged at the waist of her skirt and frowned: "If the waist were reduced by three centimeters, it might fit better. This dress is medium, right? If it's small, it might suit me better. You ... Time to lose weight. "
After saying this, Mu Xue walked away without looking back, leaving Cui Xinyan staring in shock.
Cui Xinyan took a moment to react. Mu Xue was hinting at her thick waist, and her face twisted with anger.
Is Mu Xue possessed? How did she suddenly become like this? She usually doesn't talk much, is focused solely on work, always dressed in black, white, and gray, looking dull and rigid. But today, she seemed different.
Cui Xinyan's heart tightened, and she hurried downstairs with her.
Cui Xinyan's mother, Mu Manrong, was sitting downstairs receiving people from the Leng family. The Leng family was visited by Leng Yan's parents, Leng Junhao and Yao Nan. To Mu Xue's surprise, Leng Yan also showed up.
She remembered that in her previous life, Leng Yan hadn't appeared at this moment. The first time she saw him was half a year after she had refused to marry, but she hadn't expected that this time, after being reborn, she would see him ahead of time.
The rumored Leng Yan is a playboy with a roguish handsome look, spending his days carelessly and indulging in scandals.
