‘I doubt it’s the Second Young Master or Third Young Master. Boss would’ve just cursed at them. The last time Boss looked like this was when he took a stifling loss against Li Yuan…’ Xu Xu thought.

Xu Xu quickly delivered the medical kit.

Fu Qingli sent him away and dealt with his bleeding wounds while he got mad at himself. ‘What the hell is wrong with me? Isn’t this very normal? Why was I so angry? Is it because that stupid girl ignored me and blocked me?’

After Shen Xi mercilessly blocked Fu Qingli, she was in a joyous mood, and the smile on her face was the brightest. The best way to deal with an opponent was to ignore him!

‘He probably won’t find trouble with me now, right? I even informed him beforehand so that he can control his family. If he can’t control them, then it’s not my fault!’

Shen Xi’s move took immediate effect. Fu Junqiu no longer pestered her to sign with the Fu family’s entertainment company and Fu Qingxuan did not come to bother her.

Two days ago, Fu Qingxuan could not get to Shen Xi because she blocked him, so he called her parents. Lately, he did not call her, so Shen Xi had a rare moment of peace.

Every night, Shen Xi would go to Li Yuan’s house, but every time she sneaked past the door to his home, she felt like a thief. This feeling of doing something behind her parents’ back was quite thrilling and exciting.

That night, no one was at the door and there was no car parked at the front.

Shen Xi thought Li Yuan went out, so she looked at her house and next door. After hesitating, she still went next door.

If she were to go home now, it would be hard to find a good excuse to sneak out again. Li Yuan could not miss his daily acupuncture routine.

Kun Lun had long since registered Shen Xi’s fingerprints at their door. She pressed her finger onto the lock and let herself in. She walked in while she sent Li Yuan a text. [Brother, when are you coming home?]

Boom!

There was a loud explosion coming from the kitchen. When Shen Xi looked over, she saw the fire through the window.

Shen Xi was scared to death. Her hands trembled and her phone fell to the ground. She ran inside the house and saw the man who was lying by the kitchen door.

He looked like a mess as he glanced back in the direction of the kitchen with a cruel, blood-thirsty, and abhorrent self-deprecating smile. His whole being was exuding despair.

The man was unaware of Shen Xi’s presence. In the next moment, he laughed mockingly at himself. He looked at his own legs and crawled back into the kitchen without hesitation.

The kitchen was a mess.

There was a burning flame on the stove.

The kitchen floor was strewn with broken dishes and food from the impact of the explosion.

He looked at the mess in front of him with calm and deep eyes that were laced with self-mockery. He just found everything in front of him to be an eyesore.

There was never a moment that he wanted to end his life so badly.

‘What am I doing alive? I can’t even do such a simple little thing…’

The mess in front of him seemed to remind him that he was a useless invalid. ‘I’m so useless that I can’t even do such a small thing like cook for her…’
