"You've had so little contact with me, how do you know if I'm aloof or not...?"
"Should I go find you?"
"Sure."
As the conversation ended, I waited quietly.
While Shen Mengyi was sleeping upstairs, Chen Jiaxing arrived.
At that moment, I was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
I was about to get up to greet him when he had already walked over and sat down beside me.
He was very close.
Suppressing the urge to push him away, I turned to look at him.
"Sister Chun Ning, you have no idea, from the first moment I saw you, I liked you."
I was taken aback. "Huh?"
Do you think I'm a complete fool?
Feeling powerless to retort, I mimicked Shen Mengyi's shy demeanor and bit my lip, "I... I feel the same way."
With a satisfied expression, Chen Jiaxing held my hand with one hand and lifted my chin with the other.
The moment our eyes met, he attempted to seduce me with his Demonic Aura.
Feigning to be enchanted, I watched as Chen Jiaxing leaned down, his thin lips drawing closer to mine.
From Shen Mengyi's earlier reaction, I could tell.
Intimate contact was Chen Jiaxing's way of spreading his Demonic Aura.
At this moment, was he so eager for me to be infected by it as well?
I controlled my phone and took a picture of myself with Chen Jiaxing to send to Shen Mengyi.
Just as Chen Jiaxing was about to kiss me, Shen Mengyi came rushing down the stairs.
"What are you two doing?" her shrill voice rang out.
I promptly pushed Chen Jiaxing away.
In contrast to my feigned panic, Chen Jiaxing remained remarkably calm.
He looked at Shen Mengyi and said, "As you can see, I like Sister Chun Ning."
"I don't believe it! You clearly like me!" The Demonic Aura surrounding Shen Mengyi suddenly intensified.
As it seemed ready to explode, Chen Jiaxing stepped forward and took her hand. "Let's go talk upstairs."
The moment he made contact with Shen Mengyi, her Demonic Aura was suppressed.
He nodded apologetically at me and led Shen Mengyi upstairs.
I remained seated on the sofa.
When Chen Jiaxing and Shen Mengyi came back down, she was no longer angry.
As expected, her Demonic Aura had thickened a few degrees again.
After she saw Chen Jiaxing out, she shot me a warning glance. "Shen Chun Ning, Brother Jiaxing is mine, and you can't take him away!"
I smirked maliciously. "Oh really?"
Later that evening, when the whole family was back home, I got straight to the point. "I want to reclaim my engagement."
Shen Mengyi was the first to disagree.
"Shen Chun Ning, do you have no shame? Brother Jiaxing is already with me, how can you dare to compete with me?"
I ignored her and turned to my parents.
"The marriage agreement should be settled soon. The Chen Family has been dragging their feet; one would think they are choosing a wife!"
"Exactly! Our Shen Family is on par with the Chen Family. Although we were at fault regarding the marriage agreement, if the Chen Family is dissatisfied, they can simply cancel it," my brother chimed in.
Mother also expressed her opinion: "Rather than letting Mengyi and Chun Ning both be unhappy, it would be better to settle this matter sooner."
With that, my father, who had been somewhat hesitant, nodded. "I'll contact the Chen Family right away."
Under my father's urging, within a day, the Chen Family provided their response.
They chose me as the Trueborn Heiress.
This outcome was unacceptable to Shen Mengyi.
She tried to reach Chen Jiaxing but couldn't get through.
Frustrated, she directed all her anger at me.
Unlike her previous petty squabbles, this time, under the influence of the Demonic Aura, there was a murderous intent in her eyes.
"It's all your fault! You took away the love of our parents and my brother, and you stole my fiancé!"
She grabbed the fruit knife in her hand and lunged at me with it.
I didn't take the fruit knife seriously at all.
Shen Mengyi couldn't even get close to me.
So I just sat there, unmoving.
But I never expected that Dad would directly grab the fruit knife with his hand.
He stopped the knife from getting any closer to me.
Blood oozed from Dad's palm, dripping onto the floor.
It stained a section of the carpet red.
The demonic aura in Shen Mengyi's eyes faded completely. She suddenly let go of the knife, saying, "I... I didn't mean to... I really didn't mean to..."
She explained in a panic, and then everything went dark before her eyes as she fainted.
