"But I won’t be fine. Whether you want it or not, I am taking you with me so not a single word I want to hear." Jiang Yang commanded and Nixxxie couldn’t say anything seeing him so furious.
Nixxxie understood it was her brother’s fault that he brought her back without informing Jiang Yang, but the way Jiang Yang looked, furious and commanding, it worried her.
This man who was always so calm and cheerful, she was seeing his different side that she couldn’t dare to provoke and obediently listened to him.
Jiang Yang and Nixxxie came downstairs while Jiang Yang holding her hand and Xi Cheng was standing furious at the same spot after he finished talking on the call with Lu Qiang.
"I am taking her back with me and if you have something to say to your sister, let me know and I will bring her here but until her parents come back, she will not move out of my home." Jiang Yang declared.
In his furious eyes, there was a warning and desperation to protect his woman at all costs.
Xi Cheng was burning inside because of the call he got and later seeing these both holding their hands and Jiang Yang warning him indirectly.
Not getting any response from Xi Cheng, Jiang Yang left with Nixxxie, not waiting for even a single moment further.
The first time, Xi Cheng felt as if he could not do anything even if he had power and he could send Jiang Yang far away from this world, but it was not the solution.
His sister, who already hated him, will hate him even more. There were the things he could never buy with the money, her attention and her affection. He thought only if he could remove all the hatred from her heart and made her like him.
Xi Cheng never planned to harm Nixxxie. He just wanted to keep her by his side forever and see her from a distance. There were so many reasons that he wanted to keep her with him, but to stay away from her.
The tag of being her stepbrother, always made him behave like one even though he liked her. Though he couldn’t claim her as his woman, he never ever wanted any man to be in her life though it would lead her to spend her entire life alone. Also, as Xi Cheng always liked her for long, he never planned to have any other woman in his life.
He himself decided the future for both of them. Spending their lives alone- with Nixxxie by his side whom he can always see around and she could only see him even if she sees him as a brother. Having her never mattered to him, all he wanted her presence in his life, even if it was as his sister.
Xi Cheng was a bad person for the world but to her, he wanted to be the good one but that hatred in her heart made him act badly in front of her. To achieve something, he had to made her feel scared all the time so she won’t fly away out of her cage but the sudden entry of Jiang Yang in her life ruined his plan.

On the way to the Jiang residence...
In the car, Jiang Yang was silent and focused on driving while Nixxxie couldn’t muster up the courage to say anything to him, seeing him so cold.
For the first time, she saw there were frown lines on his forehead and he was yet to be calm. His eyes had an intense gaze that was fixed on the road. Nixxxie looked at him a few more times, but he didn’t look at her at all. She was wondering if he was thinking deeply about something or his mind was just blank.
When they covered half of the distance, finally he spoke, sensing she was looking at him. "What are you looking at?"
His words didn’t sound the way he usually talked, caring and soft, but they were plain and devoid of any kind of feeling.
"Nothing. just never saw you like this," Nixxxie replied.
"Like this?" he cross-questioned.
"Hmm! So serious and cold."
"Do you expect me to be calm when someone tries to cage my woman?" Jiang Yang spoke coldly again and before she could say anything, he continued.
"Dare to say you are not my woman. Before, I took it lightly, but this time I won’t." He warned her.
Suddenly Nixxxie felt scared of him. Scared, not in the sense like running away from him, but it was a feeling of not doing anything that could piss him off. She could see how much he was serious about her and she liked it. She never felt this much protected and loved before. This man was leaving no option for her but to fall in love with him deeply.
Not saying anything, she sat quietly having a light smile on her lips. Feeling scared of him in this way was something she liked. She wanted to ask- what if she dares to say that she is not his woman? But she swallowed her words back, not willing to provoke a lion.
When they both reached inside Jiang Residence, closing the door, Jiang Yang held her hand. It startled her, but he was not paying attention to her reactions and instead checked her. He turned her face left-right, holding her chin in his fingers to observe her face carefully, then looked at her neck and then observed her hands.
"Are you hurt somewhere?" he asked.
His question surprised her. "Why would I be hurt? I was in my home, not at some unknown place." She replied casually, thinking why was he acting like this.
Avoiding her answer, Jiang Yang asked again. "Did he miss treated you or anything?"
