After the banquet, Mo Beichen went on a business trip. Xia Weila’s identity as the eldest daughter of Xia Family was circulated within A University. This had made Ling Xuefei more laughable when she returned to school. 

“Look, the oil bottle that you used to call was far more honorable than you now.”

“Yeah, Ling Xuefei only knew how to kick people around. She’s really annoying.”

For the whole day, Ling Xuefei felt that she was muddleheaded. She felt like she had lost all her face. She could not even focus on what the teacher taught in the class.

“Xuefei, are you alright? You don’t look well.”

“Xuefei, can you hear me? What’s wrong with you?”

Ling Xuefei snapped out of her thoughts in a daze after someone shook her shoulders vigorously. Only then she realized that the class was over. Appearing in front of her eyes was Han Lulu who was looking concerned. Ling Xuefei set her heart thinking of how to get back at Xia Weilan. She looked as if she had been possessed by a demon. 

“I’m alright.” Ling Xuefei squinted and subconsciously glanced at Xia Weilan’s seat.

Not far away, Xia Weilan was talking to two other classmates. One of them was a transferred student. 

Han Lulu twitched her mouth and said, “Stop looking. She’s now a young miss. There’s a lot of classmates who wanted to curry favour with her now. I think there’s no need for you to compete with her for we can’t afford to offend her.”

Ling Xuefei gave an angry stern at Han Lulu, “Coward! When is Ling Xuefei afraid of anyone?” 

“That’s not what I meant. You’re not doing well now. Why don’t you join me in the club’s activity this weekend? We’re going on a trip to the suburbs. You can relax…”

" "

“Han Lulu, do you think that I am so free?” Ling Xuefei vented her anger on Han Lulu. To her, Han Lulu was very annoying now.

Sunday, nine o’clock in the morning – A University’s front gate.

A lot of students had gathered in front of the buses. A youngster in a blue cap holding a name list started to do a headcount, “Okay, everyone is here. Let’s get on the bus.”

“Wait, I wanted to join too.” Ling Xuefei came down from the car in casual attire, wearing a cap and a backpack.

“No problem. Please pay the joining fee first.” The youngster in cap said in a business-like manner.  

Ling Xuefei immediately paid the fee and checked which bus is Xia Weilan in. She walked toward that bus.

On the bus, the corner of Rui Li’s eyes immediately detected Ling Xuefei’s vicious glare. She pretended she did not see it and immediately looked at Xia Weilan. She found that Xia Weilan was playing on her phone, unperturbed. She doesn’t seem to be on guard.

Rui Li dully swept her eyes across her and saw a few lines on Xia Weilan’s chat window.

Mo Beichen: [Flying home tonight.]

Xia Weilan: [Hubby, I’m on a field trip today. I’ll be spending the night outside. I’ll miss you.]

Mo Beichen: …

Xia Weilan was still tapping on her phone. Rui Li reeled back her sight and leaned her back against the seat, pretending to take a nap. With her alertness, if Ling Xuefei intended to do anything in front of her, she’s looking for trouble.

Shortly after, the scenery outside the window changed from the downtown area to the foot of a mountain. They hiked in the afternoon and set up a bonfire for barbecue in the evening. Ling Xuefei did not do any weird actions. 

At night, everyone lodged at the hotel located at the foot of the mountain for the night. As soon as Xia Weilan went into her room, she immediately sat on the edge of the bed and unlocked her phone to make a video call to Mo Beichen.

“What’s up?” 

Mo Beichen leaned on a soft sleeper. The lighting was dull and she could vaguely see the silhouette of a few young men beside him. 

“Are you in a gathering?” This was the first time Xia Weilan saw Mo Beichen looking unruly and relaxed. 

“Oh! Which beautiful lady are you speaking to Mo-ge? This is so unlike you. Let me see which beautiful girl it is…”

An unruly voice came from someone sitting beside Mo Beichen and an evil demonic face was exposed. That person had a pair of eyes that were very attractive, they gleamed with teasing light. That person was none other than the second young master of Nan Family, Nan Fengyan.  

“Isn’t this…sister-in-law? Hi sis!” Nan Fengyan didn’t expect that Mo Beichen, who had hardly come out for a gathering, was being checked upon by Xia Weilan. 

He suddenly felt awkward and asked, “Sis, are you coming for a drink?”

“Get lost.” Mo Beichen shoved Nan Fengyan away. 

It seemed that he shifted to another place and his surroundings had become quieter. Xia Weilan blinked. She wanted to say something but she choked her words back in. 

“Don’t move!” Mo Beichen suddenly frowned and shouted.

Xia Weilan looked at him oddly and she was confused. At this instant, Xia Weilan felt something cold sliding across her waist, as if something was coiling around her waist. Xia Weilan shivered and she felt her energy drained all of a sudden. Her face went pale.

 “S…Snake~” Xia Weilan finally saw clearly that a small poisonous snake was coiling around her waist. 

And beside this, there were another two to three more colorful snakes underneath her leg. They were about to get into her trouser’s leg. 

In her entire life, Xia Weilan had always been afraid of these slicky things. She felt eerie and her blood ran cold. She was unable to utter a single word. Xia Weilan simply could not hear a single thing that Mo Beichen said on the other end of the call anymore. 

Seeing her in this state, Mo Beichen immediately called Rui Li, “Go to Xia Weilan’s room now and get rid of those snakes!”

Mo Beichen passed down a strict order. The coldness in his tone was that of a level nine big freeze.

Mo Beichen returned to the video call only to find that it was displaying total darkness. Not a single sound was heard. It was obvious that Xia Weilan had thrown the phone on the floor. At this instant, every cell in Mo Beichen’s body was activated. He stared closely into the darkness and the veins on the hand that was holding the phone popped. The image of Xia Weilan’s lifeless face and that deadly viper flicking it’s forked tongue flashed into his mind.

“Mo-ge, are you…okay?” Nan Fengyan came closer but was startled by Mo Beichen’s expression.

At this moment, someone cut off the video call.

Mo Beichen’s expression changed and he quickly dashed outside of the meeting place. He stepped on the accelerator and disappeared without a trace. Nan Fengyan stood still at the same spot with an expression as if the world is about to collapse. He opened his eyes wide. What had actually happened?

On the other side.

Xia Weilan was scared out of her wits and she passed out. 

Suddenly, someone kicked open the door. A terrified look appeared on Rui Li’s usually cool and collected face when she saw the situation inside the room. Xia Weilan was laying on the bed. Countless poisonous snakes slithered from the quilt under her body, circling around her.

Rui Li, who was well trained, got rid of the poisonous snakes. She quickly checked on Xia Weilan for the extent of the injury. Even a small bite would have been fatal. Luckily, there were no bite marks on Xia Weilan’s body. But Rui Li still called the emergency service to admit Xia Weilan to the hospital for further monitoring.

In the hospital, Xia Weilan’s forehead was covered with sweats. It seemed that she was caught up in a boundless nightmare. Mo Beichen who had fought through wind and frost came in and saw such a scene.
