Chapter 1204: Carving Her Face

The men’s gazes were all focused on Feng Lingxue. Shi Xiaoxiao looked beside her, Xuan Ying wasn’t different from the other men, his gaze was on Feng Lingxue too.

Even with her excellent upbringing, Shi Xiaoxiao couldn’t help it and her smile stiffened. She really hated this Feng Lingxue.

“Lingxue, why aren’t you talking? It’s Brother Ying’s engagement with Miss Shi tonight, you should congratulate them.” Xuan Mu looked at Feng Lingxue and urged her with his eyes.

Lifting her eyes, Feng Lingxue’s gaze landed on Xuan Ying’s face as she moved her lips impassively. “Congratulations, Silver Mask King.”

After speaking, she lowered her head again.

Xuan Ying’s gaze was cold and complex, but he quickly averted his eyes, his hand around Shi Xiaoxiao’s slim waist as he pulled her into his arms. He didn’t say anything, just taking Shi Xiaoxiao with him as he walked away.

He had left.

Feng Lingxue hadn’t lifted her head.

Seeing the apathy, Xuan Mu’s face contorted in anger. Xuan Ying didn’t even bother with him, it was just like giving him a slap in public, it was blatant disrespect and humiliation.

…

As the guests bustled around and conversed in their respective huddles, Feng Lingxue stood alone, the socialites all standing far away from her as though she carried a virus.

—-Hurry up and look, how dare this Feng Lingxue even turn up at Silver Mask King’s engagement banquet?

—-I heard that Silver Mask King has already gotten sick of her and gave her away to Xuan Mu.

—-Wait, isn’t Xuan Mu… impotent? What is he going to do with Feng Lingxue?

—-Don’t you know about eunuchs? They have many perverted ways to torture women, hehe…

Those socialites started pointing fingers at her, filled with jealousy and contempt.

Hearing those words, Feng Lingxue wasn’t really affected at all. She had long grown used to it. Standing in front of the dining room, it was filled with various delicacies but her gaze was focused on a candy.

She wanted to eat it.

She wanted to have something sweet since the insides of her mouth were so bitter.

The South Duchess would only let her eat some leftover vegetable soup in case she died from hunger. She had no idea when was the last time she even ate a proper meal.

There were bowls of rice on the dining table and a hungry person would definitely want to eat rice, however, she had been starving for far too long that her appetite had shrunk considerably. She was too hungry that her stomach felt numb, when she saw the rice, she kind of felt sick.

The only thing she wanted to have was candy.

Feng Lingxue stretched out her hand, picking up one candy and she held it in her palm.

Xuan Mu walked over, shouting loudly, “Lingxue, what are you holding?”

Everyone’s gazes riveted on them. Here’s some drama again!

“Lingxue, this is Silver Mask King’s turf, it’s his engagement banquet, how dare you steal today? Hurry up and hand over the thing you stole!”

Feng Lingxue lifted her head, Xuan Ying held Shi Xiaoxiao’s arm while he turned around, his gaze landing on her.

It was complex and unfathomable.

Feng Lingxue froze on the spot, everyone crowded around her and looked at her as though she was a clown.

—-Look, what is she holding?

—-Is it some luminous pearl or diamond? Something of that sort?

—-I can’t believe Feng Lingxue actually stole something, thief!

—-Right, she’s a thief!

Being called a ‘thief’, Feng Lingxue’s grip tightened.

What had she stolen? She hadn’t stolen anything.

“Feng Lingxue, hand it over now!” Xuan Mu’s only purpose of bringing Feng Lingxue to the engagement banquet was to humiliate her.

Feng Lingxue spoke quietly, “I didn’t steal anything.”

Xuan Mu went in front, lifting his hand to give Feng Lingxue a slap.

Pah! The crisp sound of the slap reverberated through the place and Feng Lingxue fell onto the ground from the impact. The candy in her hand flew away, rolling in front of a pair of glistening leather shoes.

Feng Lingxue lifted her eyes to look at the candy. It stopped beside Xuan Ying’s shoes. He held Shi Xiaoxiao’s arm while standing in front, also watching the drama.

—-Oh god, it’s just a piece of a candy.

—-Pff. Feng Lingxue has become so pathetic, she even needs to steal candy.

It was an engagement banquet, the food on the table was free for all. She had only taken one candy and everyone accused her of stealing.

In everyone’s eyes, she wasn’t even human.

Ever since she was born, she had been unpopular and there was no one to give her warmth, protection and respect.

Why her? What had she done wrong in this life of hers?

She hadn’t done any wrong but it just seemed like everything was all her fault.

She was the public enemy.

Xuan Mu went in front, yanking her hair while he laughed with a contorted expression. “Feng Lingxue, you’re really brazen. How dare you come to Silver Mask King’s engagement banquet and steal. Hurry up and ask for forgiveness from Silver Mask King now. Beg him to let you off, beg him to forgive you!”

As Xuan Mu pulled her hair, Feng Lingxue was forced to lift her head, it was then that her eyes met with a pair of inky black ones.

Dark eyes like the blackest obsidian.

In front, Xuan Ying held Shi Xiaoxiao while looking at her. His gaze was cold and complex, looking at her with contempt, without any temperature.

Seeing him like this, Feng Lingxue was somewhat numb, she couldn’t really feel the pain and didn’t say anything.

She didn’t beg him.

It was of no use, even if she did.

She would only be humiliated even more if she did. She would never forget those words he said. He said that everything was fake, the cable car ride, him calling her Lingling, it was all an act.

He even said that he stopped loving her three years ago, she would only make him feel disgusted now.

She knew it, he really minded that she had lost her virginity…

She was tainted.

She could already imagine, one day if he learned that she had a daughter, he wouldn’t let her daughter live…

She really didn’t dare think about it.

She didn’t want to think about it anymore.

“Feng Lingxue, why aren’t you talking? I didn’t know you were so stubborn.” Xuan Mu lifted his head, looking at Xuan Ying. “Brother Ying, how should I deal with this slave?”

The entire time, Xuan Ying stood tall, lowering his eyes to look at Feng Lingxue, who was on the ground. Her left cheek was swollen because of the slap, a bright red palm print surfaced. She was humiliated in public and was so pathetic, yet pitiful.

Slightly lifting the corners of his lips, he replied, “She’s your slave, you can do anything you want. I’m not going to interfere!”

Feng Lingxue wasn’t surprised to hear those words, she had already guessed it.

“Great, I was waiting for Brother Ying to say this!”

Xuan Mu whipped out a pocket knife, the blade sharp. “I’m going to carve a character representing ‘slave’ on Feng Lingxue’s face. She’s going to be a slave for life, this is a symbolism of her identity!”

Once he said that, the sharp knife blade ended up on her face.

Ah! A socialite screamed, burying her face in her male partner’s chest. “That’s so scary!”

“Don’t be scared, everything’s okay.”

The socialite secretly opened her eyes, looking at Feng Lingxue’s face being cut. Feng Lingxue’s beauty made so many people jealous of her, now her appearance had finally been ruined!
