Chapter 589 Alicia blinked and fell silent.



Chapter 589 Alicia blinked and fell silent.

Just as Kiana☆ and Alicia were locked in a stalemate, Hoshi's voice suddenly came from the doorway:

"Mom, I brought you the championship prize..."

Before he could finish speaking, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly intensified, as if the air itself had frozen.

March 7th stopped abruptly, her fingertips frantically scratching the back of her head as she pulled back, whispering in Xing's ear:

"Uh... Xing, something's not right. We've probably stumbled into a 'battleground'!"

Xing followed her gaze and swept around the room, nodding solemnly and responding softly:

"Indeed, it seems we've come at the wrong time."

"No, you came just in time."

Alicia's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately got up and quickly went to greet them, smiling as she pulled the two of them into the house. She turned around and took two empty cups from the tea tray, filling the porcelain cups with hot tea and creating a light mist.

"Please sit down. This tea is freshly brewed. Try it while it's hot."

March 7th hurriedly took the teacup, awkwardly laughing as he tried to smooth things over:

Ha... Sister Aili, you're too kind! Danheng is still waiting downstairs. We'll leave as soon as we deliver the things, so we won't disturb you any longer..."

Xing, however, was not so reserved. She generously held the teacup, took a sip, savoring the mellow taste of the tea on her tongue, and even smacked her lips as she offered the cup to March 7th.

"This tea is really good, you should try it in March."

March 7th remained silent, her fingers gripping the teacup so tightly they turned white, only daring to steal glances out of the corner of her eye.

Kiana☆'s expression softened upon their arrival, and she silently sat back down at the table, picking up her teacup. However, her gaze kept drifting towards Alicia and Mei☆, her eyes revealing no trace of resentment, and she even gripped the rim of the cup so tightly that it turned white.

A strange atmosphere spread through the room, making March 7th not only fail to dispel her tension but instead sit even more awkwardly, her back stiffening, with only one thought in her mind:

"Hurry up and get someone to save the day! Anyone will do! We're not picky!"

Time passed by, and just as March 7th felt a tightness in his chest and could hardly breathe, the bamboo curtain in the inner room was suddenly lifted gently.

Fu Ming, dressed neatly, walked out. Upon seeing Xing and San Yueqi inside, his tense expression instantly relaxed, a smile spreading across his eyes, and even his steps became lighter.

"Star, March, you're here too? That's great!"—They're a lifesaver, saving us from having to face this hellish situation alone!

March 7th seemed to have grasped at a straw, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put down her teacup and stood up, her tone becoming much more lively:

"Haha... Yes, Xiao Shi won the competition, so we came here especially to give him the prize!"

Kiana☆ looked up at the sound, and when her gaze swept over Fu Ming, she suddenly noticed the faint red mark on her neck. The teacup in her hand clattered onto the tea tray, and her face instantly darkened, even the atmosphere around her seemed to drop a few degrees.

Startled by the sudden noise, March 7th trembled and hurriedly looked at Kiana☆, her eyes filled with fear and trepidation, not daring to even breathe.

Alicia, however, seemed oblivious to the sudden change in atmosphere. Her fingertips gently caressed the rim of her glass, her smile softening further, her tone carrying just the right amount of concern:

"Kiana☆, what's wrong? Is the tea not to your liking?"

Kiana ignored the words in her ear, staring intently at Fu Ming, a soft smile curving her lips, but coldness lurking in the corners of her eyes.

The starlight that had been shimmering in his pupils gradually faded, leaving only an intense, overwhelming possessiveness and madness.

Even if Ah Ming hates, despises, and loathes me, I still want to completely imprison Ah Ming in our cozy little home... It would be best if Xiao Shi, Mei☆, and Alicia quietly disappeared, so that... only I would be by Ah Ming's side...

Kiana☆.

Mei☆ sensed the aura emanating from Kiana☆, reached out and gently pressed her wrist, her fingertips carrying a slightly cool temperature, trying to pull her back from her obsession.

"Sit down first, calm down, let's talk slowly, don't scare Xing and March 7th."

Kiana☆ suddenly flung her hand away, the force so strong that Mei☆'s fingertips went slightly numb.

She walked straight up to Fu Ming, her cold aura still lingering, but her eyes were red.

The words of advice that Fu Ming was about to utter caught in his throat when he met her reddened, heart-shaped eyes. He hesitated, then hesitated again, trying to gather his thoughts, but then forgot what he wanted to say. In the end, he only softly called out her name:

"Kiana☆......"

"What do you want to say?"

Kiana☆ pressed on, her voice lower than before, the last syllable carrying a hint of grievance she herself didn't even realize.

Fu Ming looked at the redness at the corners of her eyes, and the words that were about to come out suddenly got stuck in his throat, leaving him only in silence.

Xing, watching intently, leaned close to March 7th and whispered in his ear:

"Tell me, Daddy, what can I do to make Kiana☆Mommy calm down?"

March 7th, rubbing his forehead, spoke with the weariness of someone who's been through it all:

"Based on my years of experience reading novels... in this situation, Fu Ming may have no choice but to prove his innocence with his death."

Fu Ming: "???" Why are you all just watching!

Fu Ming's silence was like a pebble thrown into the tense air. Kiana suddenly gripped his hand tightly, her fingertips tracing the delicate skin on the inside of his wrist, her tone filled with even more grievance:

"Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you even going to give me an explanation? For example... you weren't there voluntarily, what despicable methods did they use?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei☆ suddenly chuckled softly, her voice tinged with amusement:

"Kiana☆, didn't you and Xiaoshi also use all sorts of methods to keep A-Ming by your side back then? If we're really comparing, you weren't much better than Alicia and me."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Kiana☆ suddenly turned around and glared at her, the redness at the corners of her eyes still lingering, now tinged with anger, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Xing suddenly gasped, her voice lowered, but she couldn't hide her shock:

"Hiss—So Dad was actually the bottom one?!"

March 7th instantly covered her ears, shrank back into the chair, her face filled with terror:

"Is this something we can hear?! Will I even be able to leave this room alive today?!"

Alicia then stood up and walked to the two of them, gently taking Kiana☆ and Fu Ming's clasped hands, her tone sweet and soothing:

"Alright, from now on we're all family, so let's get along well, okay?"

Mei☆ also stood up and walked to Kiana☆'s other side, her fingertips gently resting on Kiana's arm, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable force:

"Kiana☆, let go of A-Ming's hand first, sit down and talk. Are you trying to hide him by holding him like this?"

"So what if he's hidden?" Kiana☆ didn't loosen her grip; instead, she pulled Fu Ming behind her, the madness in her eyes resurfacing. "He was always mine—"

Xiao Shi then came out of the house, hands on hips, and interrupted Kiana☆ with a righteous air, complaining:

"What do you mean 'it was yours to begin with'! Ah Ming was originally mine. Ah Ming has always only loved me. Without using force, how could it be your turn?"

Alicia blinked and fell silent.

Even though she and Ah Ming were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little, and had been together for a long time, they couldn't compete with the white moonlight that suddenly appeared—the great Herrscher of Knowledge.

In just one sentence, Xiao Shi managed to draw the attention of Kiana☆, Mei☆, and Alicia to herself.

"Cough cough!"

On March 7th, he suddenly started coughing violently, his teacup wobbling so much that half the tea spilled out. While coughing, he gave Xing a meaningful look—say something quickly, don't let things get any worse!

Xing completely ignored her hint and instead took two steps forward, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Mommies, if you're really angry, why don't you give Dad a good beating? It's pointless to let him lie there enjoying all your services while you watch you fight over him!"

The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Kiana☆ paused, seemingly pondering the feasibility of the suggestion, and even loosened her grip on Fu Ming's hand slightly.
