Feng Ling's gaze turned cold and evil, and her eyes were fixed on Shangxin as she muttered every word.

Didn't Tang Yuansi cherish this woman dearly?

Back then, no matter how she clung onto him, he did not say anything harsh to her. But, just because she had gone to this woman to say a few words, he had embarrassed her completely in front of so many people.

Anything that he cherished dearly, she was bent on destroying right now!

She wanted them to suffer in agony and have a taste of the humiliation she had suffered back then!

Feng Ling firmly believed that given Shangxin's family background, she would be extremely enraged upon hearing her words.

However, Shangxin merely cast a glance at her and the expression on her face barely changed.

"As long as I kneel down for you, you'll save him?"

Her calm tone seemed to make it feel as if she was merely deciding what to eat for the day.

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes.

The scene she had expected did not happen, and she did not feel any satisfaction from having gotten her revenge.

On the contrary, she felt like the clown who had been humiliated…

Even though Shangxin was the one who had come to ask for mercy today, she still exuded the elegance and poise of a princess.

The sight of the elegance she displayed made her infuriated!

Feng Ling's eyes narrowed again, as if she had her mindset to humiliate Shangxin as she replied leisurely, "Kneel down first, then I'll consider. If you don't go on your knees, I won't even consider it."

Shangxin's assistant, who was at the door, heard what Feng Ling had said and was about to go in to stop her when Shangxin had already bent her knees…

Just when everyone thought that she was going to go on her knees, she simply bent down to slap the sofa in front of her before sitting down in a composed manner.

Feng Ling was stunned beyond words.

She howled indignantly "Aren't you scared that I'll not care about Tang Yuansi's life and make him die? Other than me, no one else can save him now!"

Shangxin raised her eyes and responded, "Yes, I'm scared. I'm so scared that I came to find you so early this morning."

"…"

Hearing her words, the expression on Feng Ling's face somewhat relaxed.

She just knew that it was impossible that Shangxin wasn't scared of her.

She not only had the source of the special medicine in her hands but also Tang Yuansi's life!

Feng Ling retorted, "Then, you dare to disobey me? I told you to get on your knees!"

"…"

Shangxin knitted her brows in a perplexed manner. Why did a normal person like her, living in the modern era, like following the ancient times and making others get on their knees?

She remained comfortably in her seat and did not move.

Looking at a furious Feng Ling, she muttered calmly, "I won't get on my knees for you."

"What did you say? Aren't you afraid that I will…"

"You don't have to threaten me, " Shangxin remarked bluntly as she looked up at her.

"I know you're taking revenge on us. Even if I get on my knees for you, you won't just agree to help me like that. Since I know that this is not your true intention at all, there's no point in me being humiliated by you just for the sake of it. Let's be more straightforward. What exactly do you want from me for you to agree to save Tang Yuansi?"

"…"

Feng Ling did not see this coming. Shangxin, who looked as though she had been pampered all her life, could actually make such sharp comments, and even saw through her plot so easily.

This instantly made her lose any sense of achievement she had.

However, all that wasn't important. As long as Shangxin cared about Tang Yuansi and wanted her to help save him, they were unable to escape her clutches.

There was a slight flicker in Feng Ling's gaze and she placed the wine glass in her hand on the coffee table.

She then leaned back to rest lazily on the sofa, shifting her eyes to Shangxin, with her red lips parted slightly.

"My condition is simple. As long as you leave Tang Yuansi and let him marry me, after I get married to him, I naturally wouldn't allow anything to happen to my husband."
