Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Fei Bai sent Ning Ke over, Su Ye was researching on extracting the essence from a plant as part of the antidote to the poison. Although he knew that Qi Shan should be clear from the poison, he was preparing a backup plan just in case.

When he heard the knock on his door, he walked out and saw Ning Ke obediently trailing Fei Bai from behind to enter the house. She hung her head and quietly stood there. Su Ye felt that this was the Ning Ke that he knew, the Ning Ke he was familiar with.

After sending her over, Fei Bai did not want to say much and left immediately. After Fei Bai had left, Ning Ke looked at Su Ye before walking over to the side to sit on the sofa with a gloomy look on her face. Su Ye recalled the Ning Ke he knew eight years ago… She had been like this too. She was always gloomy, and people tended to ignore her. She was akin to air, simply passing by. Who knew that she was, in fact, a venomous snake who would come up with these kinds of dirty tactics.

Su Ye took off his gloves. Although he did not hold much hope, he asked anyway, “Does the poison have a cure?”

Ning Ke lifted her head and threw him a look as she smiled. “Nope.”

She tilted her head and showcased her trendy winged eyeliner look. Her eyes looked just like Ning Meng’s peach blossom eyes. “I’ve succeeded, haven’t I?”

If not, Su Ye would not be researching for an antidote here, right?

She blinked both her eyes and displayed an innocent look of “I did it, what are you going to do now”.

Su Ye stared at her for a long time. “The truth is you don’t like the boss. Am I right?”

Ning Ke was slightly stunned. “What makes you say that?”

Su Ye sat next to her on the sofa, his slender arms loosely dangling. His usual slit-like eyes were now wide open. He stared at Ning Ke and warmly said, “You would not do that if you truly liked someone. You would not be paranoid to the point of fearing to be obliterated. You would not have put this poison in the food. This poison was actually meant to kill! You did not run away after planting the poison, even calmly staying back and you seem to be fearless of what might happen to you. You’re here to fight to the death.”

Ning Ke did not agree nor disagree with his statement. She merely replied, “Well, it’s his fault for not wanting to see me and not allowing me to see that woman. I had no choice but to make this move.”

Su Ye could only sigh.

Ever since Ning Ke had returned, she had become a changed person. She had turned into a mad and persistent maniac, stalking Ning Meng and constantly trying to mess things up. Her tactics were low-profiled and made people loosen their guard because people thought that she was a simple-minded person who would not come up with such contemptible plans. They had forgotten that Ning Ke was a dog who did know how to bark.

If it were not for the urgent matter that Huo Beichen had had to deal with today, he might have really ingested the poison! She was a hundred percent confident in her victory, otherwise, she would not calmly expose herself this way. Her current state had finally revealed her true motives to Su Ye.

He paused at every word that he spoke to her. “Are you doing all these things for the sake of your big sister?”

Ning Ke did not deny it. “My sis is the nicest lady in the whole wide world. She deserves all the love she can get. She was so kind to Huo Beichen eight years ago, why would Huo Beichen betray her?!”

Su Ye felt his blood pressure rise upon hearing this. He remembered what had happened that day and seethed in anger. “And that justifies you trying to poison the boss?”

Ning Ke lifted her head and showed a nonchalant expression. “That’s right. This is for my sis. I never asked for his life, but since he has never bothered about the bottom half of his body, why not just make my sis a widow for life? That sounds reasonable, don’t you think? As for me, you can do to me as you please.”

Su Ye was stricken with terror. He suddenly remembered a moment from eight years ago. He had asked Ning Ke what her sister was to her. And how had Ning Ke answered that question? She had said that her sis was the light of her life.
