Antina's clear blue eyes gazed at Xiao Cheng, a mocking smile on her face as she spoke in a sarcastic tone, seemingly trying to provoke him.
Xiao Cheng's hand, resting on the car door frame, tightened slightly. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, as deep as a tranquil abyss. "My matters with Qing Muyue don't require your interference."
He lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on Antina's abdomen. "You're pregnant. You should go home and rest. I..."
"The doctor said I need to walk more during pregnancy to relax," Antina interrupted him before he could finish, adding, "I find China's scenery beautiful and the climate agreeable. I plan to stay here for a while longer."
Before Antina came to Lan City, she had intended to take revenge on Meng Jingwei. However, after her arrival, Xiao Cheng actively sought her out, his attitude towards her undergoing a complete 180-degree transformation, saying he would take her back to Country C. After some consideration, Antina proposed a condition: Xiao Cheng would take Meng Jingwei to a room she had arranged for a meal, allowing her to hear Xiao Cheng say goodbye to Meng Jingwei firsthand. Perhaps it was her own self-destructive behavior, but after hearing their conversation and seeing Xiao Cheng help Meng Jingwei hail a car outside the restaurant, open the door for her, and their deep gazes at each other, Antina's jealousy went into overdrive, causing her to completely change her mind. Her conclusion was... if Meng Jingwei didn't die, she and Xiao Cheng could never live peacefully!
"Antina!" Xiao Cheng's anger surged, and he shouted.
But Antina let out a cold laugh, slammed her foot on the accelerator, and with a loud roar, the sports car shot forward. The speed was too fast, completely unexpected, and Xiao Cheng staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground.
Beep beep beep—
He stepped back a few paces, blocking the path of other drivers. A car owner poked his head out and cursed, "Damn it, are you trying to die standing in the middle of the road?"
Xiao Cheng turned his head, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent. With just a glance, his powerful aura exuded an oppressive presence that silenced the car owner, who immediately fell silent.
Xiao Cheng turned, got into his own car, and drove off. This time, he didn't chase Antina, but instead called her.
The phone rang twice, and the other party answered. Antina remained silent. Xiao Cheng coldly questioned, "I'll ask you one last time, are you going back to Country C?" His patience was running thin, and he wasn't mincing words.
"No, I'm not going back," she stated, each word firm and her attitude resolute.
Xiao Cheng clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles cracking. "Don't touch Meng Jingwei, or else... don't blame me for disregarding our marital bond!" With that, he hung up, abruptly turned his car at the intersection, and left.
Meanwhile, about a kilometer away, the flashy Lamborghini was parked on the roadside. Antina sat inside, gnashing her teeth and slamming the steering wheel. "Meng Jingwei, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!" she cursed, gasping for air, so enraged she could barely breathe.
Ring ring ring—
The phone on the side suddenly rang. Antina picked up her phone, expecting it to be Xiao Cheng. However, when she saw the caller ID, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. After a few seconds, she composed herself, answered the call, and said in a gentle tone, "Daddy?"
The call was from her father, Frank Street, the leader of the mafia. "Darling, I heard you went to Lan City. How are you enjoying yourself there?" Frank doted on Antina, treating her as his most precious treasure. As the esteemed leader of the mafia, with immense power, how could he tolerate Antina marrying an ordinary man whose face was disfigured? However, unable to bear Antina's tantrums and threats, he had no choice but to accept their relationship.
