The Mad Warriors

In the reception room, Xia Ningshuang had comforted Liang Zhixia more than once: "My good sister, your uncle isn't a tiger, he can't eat Wang Xuan, don't worry!" No matter how Xia Ningshuang tried to comfort Liang Zhixia, Liang Zhixia's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was really afraid that her uncle would dissect Wang Xuan for research.

Liang Zhixia, who was crying and sobbing, was really afraid that this meeting with Wang Xuan would be the last time they saw each other after a long time.

Although Xia Ningshuang was a famously cold and aloof beauty in the Northwest, she treated her cousin quite well. To stop Liang Zhixia from crying, Xia Ningshuang suddenly changed the subject: "Zhixia, from the first moment I saw him tonight, I always felt like I'd seen Wang Xuan somewhere before."

And sure enough, Xia Ningshuang's topic actually worked. Liang Zhixia immediately stopped crying and looked up at Xia Ningshuang: "You've seen her? That's impossible, isn't it?"

Xia Ningshuang is a shrewd businesswoman, and she naturally noticed the worry in Liang Zhixia's eyes. Liang Zhixia was afraid—afraid that her cousin liked Wang Xuan.

Xia Ningshuang gave a rare, captivating smile: "Don't overthink it. I'm sure it was many years ago when I met her on the street in France. It was a long time ago, but I still have a vague recollection of it."

Hearing this, Liang Zhixia was genuinely surprised: "Ah, Wang Xuan did indeed study in France. You didn't actually meet him, did you? What a coincidence!"

Xia Ningshuang really just wanted to find a topic to stop her poor cousin from crying anymore. She was just casually changing the subject, but she was convinced that she must have seen Wang Xuan before, if she wasn't wrong.

Just then, Xia Zhen's boisterous laughter came from outside the door. Xia Ningshuang immediately retorted, "See? If your uncle didn't like your boyfriend, why would he laugh like that?"

Liang Zhixia was puzzled. Her uncle could easily find out who Wang Xuan was, so why was he so happy right now?

The door was then pushed open, and Wang Xuan, with his usual sunny smile, said, "Zhixia, let's go!" Xia Zhen walked in cheerfully, his hands behind his back. "Zhixia, why are you crying? Your uncle didn't eat your boyfriend, so you can't go to your mother to complain, okay? Shuang'er, could you take them home for me?"

After leaving, Liang Zhixia asked Wang Xuan countless times in the car, "Did my uncle really not make things difficult for you?"

In response to Liang Zhixia's question, Wang Xuan patiently held her hand and answered gently, "Of course not! Everything's alright now, let's go get some ice cream!"

But Liang Zhixia pouted and shook her head. Xia Ningshuang, who was driving, always spoke in such a cold tone, saying sarcastically, "Let's grab a late-night snack and chat!"

Hearing Xia Ningshuang's cold tone, Wang Xuan was somewhat annoyed. Why did this woman always give off a feeling of "keep away"? Even her words seemed to carry a chill. She was so beautiful, yet she acted like this.

Liang Zhixia leaned close to Wang Xuan's ear and whispered, "Have you met my cousin? She just told me that she felt like she saw you in France." Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan suddenly gave a wicked smile, which Xia Ningshuang happened to see clearly.

However, Xia Ningshuang's phone call interrupted her as she was about to say something.

"Where are you? You guys hold them off, I'm coming right away!" After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningshuang seemed to have forgotten that Wang Xuan and Liang Zhixia were still in the back of the car. She quietly started to accelerate, as if she was going to find someone.

Liang Zhixia and Wang Xuan held each other's hands affectionately behind them, gazing at each other with deep affection, as if afraid that the other would leave again.

Soon, Liang Zhixia parked the car in front of the Guomao Building. After getting out of the car, Liang Zhixia only said, "You two wait for me in the car. I need to meet with a leader from the energy sector." Xia Ningshuang was obviously in a hurry and hurriedly washed the car and left.

Liang Zhixia looked at her impulsive cousin with great curiosity: "Wang Xuan, what's wrong with my cousin? She's not usually like this. Why is she in such a hurry tonight?"

Wang Xuan tapped Liang Zhixia's head: "Silly girl, didn't your cousin just say that meeting with a certain leader is naturally still a matter for their mining department? If I'm not mistaken, your aunt is also meeting with a leader in that field right now. Although there's a chance for things to turn around, I personally think it's still quite troublesome."

Liang Zhixia touched her head in a slightly coquettish tone: "Why did you hit my head? I don't know anything about it. You knew but didn't tell me."

Suddenly, Wang Xuan seized the opportunity to kiss Liang Zhixia on the forehead. The car seemed to fall silent, and Liang Zhixia remained motionless as if frozen in place. Liang Zhixia truly wished this kiss could last forever, until the end of time, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, until eternity.

After waiting for so many years, my wish has finally come true.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Xuan slowly lifted Liang Zhixia's chin and gazed intently at her. It's no exaggeration to say that the hormones of both people in the car were surging. Wang Xuan pouted, as if preparing to devour Liang Zhixia like a piece of cabbage.

Liang Zhixia closed her eyes, as if all girls were preparing before being kissed. She had truly waited a very long time for this moment. Before, when they were abroad, every time they were about to kiss, something would be interrupted. Now, there shouldn't be any interruptions; at least, they wouldn't be bothered by a sudden war.

Liang Zhixia could even feel the heat from Wang Xuan's nostrils, and she even felt a tickle on the tip of her nose, but she was too embarrassed to scratch it, afraid of interrupting this passionate moment.

Wang Xuan's snout was less than a centimeter away from Liang Zhixia's, and he could even feel her soft lips. It was about to happen.

With a click, the front car door was opened by Xia Ningshuang without warning. In a flash, Wang Xuan pulled his head back, and Liang Zhixia, startled, pushed him away. Liang Zhixia's face flushed red, even down to her neck. Xia Ningshuang, completely oblivious, glanced back at the two strange figures, started the car, and said, "Let's find a dessert shop to chat for a while." Xia Ningshuang's tone didn't seem very friendly.

Wang Xuan could tell from Xia Ningshuang's tone alone that she must have run into trouble over there.

What puzzled Wang Xuan was that Xia Ningshuang's "chatting" wasn't a chat with the couple, but only with Wang Xuan.

In a dessert shop, Liang Zhixia sat alone at a table eating ice cream, while Wang Xuan faced Xia Ningshuang, a beautiful but aloof woman from Northwest China.

Xia Ningshuang had been staring at Wang Xuan ever since she arrived at the dessert shop. To be honest, Wang Xuan really disliked that cold, aloof, and arrogant gaze. "Why do you have to act like this, you're a woman?"

Anyway, Wang Xuan really disliked Xia Ningshuang's type of woman. What good is it if you're beautiful? In Wang Xuan's words, she has a deadpan face.

He has this "keep away" look on his face; who knows if he likes aliens?

Finally, Xia Ningshuang spoke first: "Eleven years ago, on Christmas Day, was it you, the Chinese boy crying in the Luxembourg Gardens?" Sure enough, this woman just didn't know how to chat; she hit Wang Xuan's sore spot right away.

Wang Xuan picked up the cold water glass but hadn't even drunk from it yet. He looked up at Xia Ningshuang and said, "You were the one who said those harsh words that night! But I still want to thank you. If it weren't for those harsh words you said, I wouldn't be in this situation today." Xia Ningshuang simply nodded in understanding and then picked up the water glass to drink.

What kind of reaction is this?

Xia Ningshuang's cold expression was exactly the same as it had been eleven years ago. What had this woman gone through to become like this? Wang Xuan was puzzled.

Just as Wang Xuan was about to say something, Xia Ningshuang added, "You don't seem to have changed much over the years!" This seemed a bit off. Did Xia Ningshuang even know Wang Xuan? Saying it so directly seemed rather inappropriate.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Xia Ningshuang is, after all, the vice president of such a large company; how could she utter such a baseless statement?

Wang Xuan nonchalantly put down his water glass and bluntly said to Xia Ningshuang, "Seriously, you have a really nice figure. The mole on your heart is quite pretty." After Wang Xuan said this, Xia Ningshuang stared at him with astonishment.

At this moment, Wang Xuan's eyes were not lecherous, but smug: "Are you sure we've only met once?" When he asked this question, Wang Xuan deliberately covered his face, leaving only his eyes exposed, clearly intending for Xia Ning Shuang to see.

Just two seconds later, Xia Ningshuang's expression changed drastically as she remained stunned. The shock she showed caused her to spill the water glass in her hand.

It seems the story dates back several years to a luxury hotel on Wall Street in New York City. Xia Ningshuang, having just finished her work, was taking a shower when suddenly gunshots rang out outside her door. Her bodyguard was hit by a stray bullet. By the time Xia Ningshuang realized what was happening, an assassin was already standing in front of her with a gun.

That was also the closest Xia Ningshuang ever came to death. The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at her; it was there to take her life.

Xia Ningshuang had just taken a shower after undressing when the assassin rushed towards her. Just as the assassin aimed at her, the plot took a dramatic turn. Another masked assassin appeared and killed the assassin with a single shot. Blood splattered everywhere, including onto the naked Xia Ningshuang, nearly paralyzing her with fear.

None of that really matters. What matters is that after the masked assassin killed the assassin who was trying to kill Xia Ningshuang, he specifically touched a certain part of Xia Ningshuang's body before leaving.

Xia Ningshuang would never forget the lewd look in the second assassin's eyes, and it was the first time in her life she had ever been molested by a man. She didn't recover from that incident for six months.

Xia Ningshuang, standing before Wang Xuan, seemed still in shock. Wang Xuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That night I was just hunting my target, not rescuing you. Don't overthink it. As for what my profession is abroad, guess."

"Guess?" Well, it's so obvious, why do you need to guess?

As Wang Xuan was about to leave, he winked at Xia Ningshuang: "Keep this a secret! Otherwise, I'll tell everyone how scared you were."

After threatening Xia Ningshuang, Wang Xuan turned around and walked to Liang Zhixia, who was not far away. He pulled Xia Ningshuang with a grin and said, "Let's go for a walk by the lake! Your older cousin has something to do, so she won't bother us."

As Liang Zhixia was leaving, she wondered why her cousin's expression remained so still.

It took Xia Ningshuang a long time to recover, and she muttered to herself, "I never expected it to be him!" Yes, Xia Ningshuang thought she had only met Wang Xuan once, but it turned out to be twice. The first time she saw Wang Xuan, he was just a crying young man, and the second time he had become an assassin and even saved her once.

Xia Ningshuang suddenly felt that this was truly absurd. She pressed her temples, took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm herself down: "How could it be him?"

So why can't it be Wang Xuan? The cycle of Heaven is inescapable; everything is predetermined.
