Seeing that Wen Nuan was smoothing Blue's hair like it was a kitten, Shen Peixing smiled. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid of it?"

"What is there to be afraid of about wolves?" Wen Nuan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

She looked up at him. The man was taller than her by a head. He looked to be at least 1.8 meters tall. He was dressed in a black suit. The collar of his white shirt was loose and his face was exquisite like a carved outline.

Just by his appearance, Xia Xinnuan absolutely could not connect such a man who was better looking than the stars on TV with the devil.

Shen Peixing was also sizing her up with his deep eyes. Her slim body was very straight, and her long curly hair was slightly messy as if she had not taken care of it. Her small face was unexpectedly pure without makeup, and there were even blood scabs on her forehead. She clearly had a timid and weak appearance.

Not far away, there was a corpse full of blood smell. She should have seen the man die with her own eyes just now, but now she stood here as if nothing had happened.

If she was not pretending to be strong, then she must have been used to this scene, so she could ignore it.

Thinking of this, Shen Peixing narrowed his eyes.

"Interesting. Take her upstairs and send a letter back to the Xia Family. I am very satisfied with the gift they sent."

Wen Nuan opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say that she was not the daughter of the Xia Family, a servant rushed over and pulled her up, bringing her upstairs.

Wen Nuan was speechless.

Alright, since she had just arrived here, she needed a place to stay.

"Miss Xia, this is your room. There is an internal telephone on the bedside table. If you have any instructions, press 1. And please do not wander around."

The servant spoke almost without any tone, cold and dry, like a trained robot, and left after giving a word to Xia Xinnuan.

Xia Xinnuan checked the room for a while. After making sure there were no surveillance cameras, she locked the door and first treated the wound on her forehead. After she was done, her body was sticky and she felt uncomfortable. So she went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

In the lobby downstairs, Shen Peixing took a piece of meat and fed it to Blue.

"I have brought back the person who kidnapped Miss Xia. Do you want to interrogate him personally to see if he was arranged by people from Jing City?" Jiang Cheng said.

"Lock him up first." Shen Peixing said, frowning.

Someone was already cleaning up the bloodstains in the living room. When the person in the pool of blood was carried out, Shen Peixing frowned slightly, "Throw him into the forest and send someone to keep an eye on him. Let's see who will come to find him."

"Yes." The bodyguards quickly threw him out.

Blue was eating meat while staring at the room on the second floor. Shen Peixing noticed it. The thin figure from earlier flashed in his mind. He narrowed his eyes, "Jiang Cheng, your information on this First Miss Xia is not accurate."

"Third Master, please calm down. I was useless." Jiang Cheng was also puzzled. He had seen her before. At that time, her yes-man personality was obvious. It did not seem like she was pretending. Why did she suddenly seem like a different person today?

Seeing his doubts, Shen Peixing stood up from the sofa and looked at the room on the second floor, "Whether she is a cat or a tiger, we will know once we check it out."

After taking a shower, Xia Xinnuan looked at herself in the mirror. She thought to herself that this original owner was really good looking and had a good figure. Although the original owner could not compare to her in the 24th century, she was still considered a little beauty.

Xia Xinnuan came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel and wiping her wet hair. Almost the moment she stepped out of the bathroom door, she felt that there was someone in the room.

She keenly looked over and saw Shen Peixing sitting leisurely on the sofa, staring at her simperingly with a pair of deep and beautiful eyes, as if she was a prey.

Xia Xinnuan's hand that was wiping her wet hair paused slightly. If she remembered correctly, she had locked the door, so how did he get in?

"Third Master, why are you here?"

"Come here." Shen Peixing gestured to her.

Xia Xinnuan hesitated for a moment before walking over.

Just as she walked in front of him, Shen Peixing suddenly wrapped around her slender waist by his large palm, his rough fingertips caressing her skin beneath.

Xia Xinnuan's entire body stiffened. She had never been like this in her previous life or this life. Even if this man was handsome, it was forbidden!

Almost instantly, she pushed him away and took a few steps back. "What are you doing?" she asked.

Her tone was clearly questioning and angry, but there was no fear at all. Shen Peixing looked at her with a more probing gaze.

Everyone in Chongming City was afraid of him, and even this woman's father. However, when she first saw him, there was no fear in her eyes. She didn't even put on a show.
