Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

"Bang!"

Unable to suppress her surprise, Liu Ruyan stood up abruptly.

She braced her hands on the table, leaned forward, and adopted a condescending interrogation posture, staring intently at Xia Ye.

The force was too great, and the whole table became unstable. The ice cubes in the coffee cup also made a sound as they collided, drawing strange looks from the surrounding customers.

"Golden retriever, loser???"

"I!!!"

Liu Ruyan pointed to her own nose, her eyes filled with disbelief, and a sudden surge of anger made her laugh:

"Natsuno, did you get your brain slammed in a door when you were reborn?"

"I, Liu Ruyan, have both a great figure and plenty of savings. The men who want to date me could line up all the way to France!"

"You're saying I lost the worst?"

Xia Ye was startled by the overwhelming queenly aura emanating from her, and huddled in the large sofa chair, trembling.

Liu Ruyan grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest rising and falling with her breath.

Then she suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Xia Ye, her eyes becoming sharp:

"What happened to your husband just now?"

Liu Ruyan leaned forward, exuding a powerful sense of pressure:

"Don't tell me you actually succeeded in the end."

Upon hearing this, Natsuno, who was still immersed in panic, straightened up instantly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

His eyes revealed an uncontainable sense of pride and smugness.

"Hmph~"

"It's alright, I think it's quite simple."

Xia Ye flicked his bangs and continued smugly:

"It's just a matter of lifting a finger, I don't know why you've made it so complicated."

Seeing Xia Ye's smug and arrogant demeanor, Liu Ruyan was so angry that her teeth itched.

She was about to use force to suppress it, but then she suddenly remembered something, put away her anger, and instead showed an extremely "kind" smile.

She slowly sat back down in her chair, crossed her arms, and looked at Xia Ye:

"So, the Empress has already succeeded? Why go back in time and hand Lin Shi over to someone else?"

Xia Ye's smug expression hadn't even faded before it froze on his face.

She looked into Liu Ruyan's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, and gritted her teeth in anger:

"Better than you, you loser."

"The Green-Haired Turtle".

"ah!!!"

Liu Ruyan didn't even lift her eyelids, and lightly uttered four words:

"The Green-Haired Turtle".

"..."

"ah!!!!"

Xia Ye pointed to his nose, his eyes wide, staring at Liu Ruyan in disbelief.

They seemed not to understand why warm mouths would utter such cold words.

Xia Ye's lips trembled, and his whole body visibly shrank.

"You, you've gone too far..."

Xia Ye lowered his head, looking like a wilted eggplant, exuding a deep sense of resentment and loss.

Seeing her like this, Liu Ruyan's initial sense of satisfaction vanished instantly.

The head that was initially buzzing with excitement from Natsuno's mockery and smugness instantly cooled down.

She quickly walked over to Xia Ye and sat down next to her, putting her arm around her. Forgetting their rivalry, she began to comfort her like a caring older sister.

"Um, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"I shouldn't have said that about you."

To comfort her, Liu Ruyan racked her brains and finally managed to utter:

"Actually, turtles are great! Just think about it, their green shells make you feel safe and secure."

"Besides, even a tortoise lives longer than a puppy!"

"........."

Do you know how to comfort people?

If you don't know how to comfort someone, just shut up!

After this round of banter, the atmosphere finally eased a bit.

Liu Ruyan put away her joking thoughts and asked with a serious expression:

"So, what exactly happened in the previous life? How could someone just suddenly die?"

Natsuno sniffed, her emotions gradually calming down, a hint of painful recollection flickering in her eyes:

"It was a car accident."

"Moreover, it was definitely orchestrated by someone. The surrounding crowd was extremely abnormal, separating Lin Shi and me."

"The original target should have been me, but some unexpected things happened, and Lin Shi ended up taking all the blame."

As Liu Ruyan listened to Xia Ye's account, her mind raced, and finally she slowly uttered a name:

"Shen Zhixiao".

Natsuno nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that Shen Zhixiao's behavior after the car accident made it clear at a glance that the incident was definitely related to her.

Lin Shi had just been pronounced dead by the doctor when news of Shen Zhixiao's suicide broke.

Even if she didn't give the order, there's definitely some connection between her and the incident.

Liu Ruyan frowned and looked coldly at Xia Ye:

"Will Shen Zhixiao be able to see your post on WeChat Moments?"

In that instant, Natsuno's expression transformed into a world-famous painting, "The Scream."

She clutched her head with both hands, her mouth agape, her pupils dilated, and her whole body trembled.

Liu Ruyan stared at Xia Ye's almost deathly pale face, instantly realizing that Xia Ye hadn't blocked Shen Zhixiao. Leaning forward, she said, word by word:

"Natsuno, congratulations!"

"It seems you've single-handedly killed your 'husband' once again."

"Aaaaaaah!!! It's all over!!!"

Natsuno clutched his head and howled in despair, completely gripped by panic.

After all, when she wanted to post it on WeChat Moments at noon, she never expected it to turn out like this; she just wanted to show off.

"Alright! Shut up!"

Liu Ruyan gave a low shout, unleashing her full aura, directly interrupting Xia Ye's spellcasting.

He scratched his head, thinking quickly.

Natsuno, however, remained somewhat uneasy.

After all, in her previous life, Lin Shi's tragic fate had occurred right before her eyes.

"Ruyan, do you think it would be okay if I went to Lin Shi right now and told him to be careful of Shen Zhixiao?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the extremely uneasy Xia Ye and sighed:

"Then go ahead."

"Go tell Lin Shi that the CEO you used to spend every day with is actually a pervert."

"She wants to kill you right now."

"Let's see if she believes it or not."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's somewhat sarcastic words, Xia Ye froze.

She opened her mouth, then slumped back into her chair, grabbing her hair and ruffling it into a mess.

"Then what should we do? Just stand by and do nothing? Wait to be feasted?"
