Yan Zhen clearly wouldn't give her that chance. He grabbed her and then pressed her against the stone wall, before sweeping over her.
An Xin felt her whole body stiffen.
She may be cold-hearted, but she is definitely not cold-blooded!
Moreover, being in the water seems to trigger people's most primal instincts!
An Xin struggled frantically, her body limp and powerless, as if she were drowning, despite her usual excellent swimming skills.
Yan Zhen kissed her lips and whispered, "Xin'er, why don't we make it a fait accompli..."

Zhou Xiruo did not return to Ye Qingcheng's room. She pushed open the door and slowly sat down in front of the dressing table, her slightly pale face reflected in the bronze mirror.
She has lost a lot of weight over the years.
Her hands were no longer as delicate as they used to be, and even her face had lost its former luster. She was timid and submissive in front of him, and she was obedient and meek in front of Ye Qingcheng... But in the end, what did she get?
She received only heartless betrayal!
What she gained was loss!
Her hand slowly clenched, her nails digging into her palm, and trickles of blood slid down between her fingers.
She made mistakes, but all her mistakes were for him!
Anxin! It's all because of Anxin!
She stole everything that was rightfully hers!
“Miss Zhou, did you call me?” Mingyue walked over. Usually, Zhou Xiruo had her own maid, so she was rarely called over. After all, the Right Prime Minister was her master.
Besides, she didn't really like Zhou Xiruo. It wasn't that the person was bad, but someone like her who knew martial arts always preferred strong women. Crying at the drop of a hat was really not to her taste. Moreover, she had to take care of the constantly making a fuss, An Wan, and couldn't really pay attention to Zhou Xiruo.
Zhou Xiruo closed her eyelashes slightly.
Miss Zhou!? Ha... How ironic those three words are! She called Ye Qingcheng "Mother," and now a maid has to call her Miss Zhou! Is such a distant yet polite form of address appropriate for the wife of the Right Prime Minister?!
Zhou Xiruo's fingers loosened and tightened again, then she turned around and smiled, "Where is the master?"
Mingyue paused for a moment and said, "I suppose she's in the study..." If she were with Miss An, there would definitely be more conflict.
Zhou Xiruo smiled slightly and said, "Mingyue, why do you need to lie to me? I've seen everything."
Seeing her smile, Mingyue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she whispered, "She was originally at Lianqing Pond, but she must have gone to the study now."
Lotus Pond!?
An Xin must have gone to take a bath at Lianqing Pond?
It goes without saying that Yan Zhen went there!
Zhou Xiruo felt a burning jealousy in her heart, and she wanted to pick up a knife and kill someone, but she still forced herself to be calm and smiled, "Where did you put the thousand-year-old snow lotus that you gave me last time?"
Mingyue was taken aback. "It's still in the warehouse."
Zhou Xiruo raised her hand to her cheek and said calmly, "I haven't been looking too well these past few days. Go and brew that snow lotus. Also, I haven't bought anything new since I came to the manor, but you should have someone prepare it for me. Remember, I want the best."
Mingyue's expression changed slightly. The Right Prime Minister's residence naturally lacked nothing, but Zhou Xiruo's unusual behavior was truly astonishing.
Zhou Xiruo gazed at herself in the mirror, the light in her eyes slowly deepening...
Chapter 100 Under One Person
Once the rice is cooked, you're left with nothing but the ability to eat it!
An Xin has always enjoyed eating people, and at this moment, being eaten is truly infuriating.
But the person in front of her was pressed very tightly, and her whole body was limp and unable to exert any force. Her mind seemed to be a complete mess. She tried to find a solution, but couldn't find one, which made her feel very frustrated.
When the door was pushed open with a bang, An Xin's consciousness suddenly returned. The person clinging to her finally stopped bothering her, only raising his hand to support himself by her ear, lazily looking towards the door.
Through the rising mist, she vaguely saw a slender figure slowly approaching. An Xin subconsciously shrank back into the water, but her shrinking back was rather tragic. Her gaze was level with someone's chest, and he was pressed so close that the red plum blossoms bloomed in the corner of her eye, making her very regretful.
“You…” A trembling voice, filled with shock, anger, and sorrow, came through. An Xin recognized it; it was Zhou Xiruo. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. Most books were about the heroine catching her husband cheating on her, but she was the heroine in this story. Why did it seem like she was the one being caught cheating?
Following common sense and making a little connection, one can imagine how grief-stricken Zhou Xiruo must have felt upon seeing this scene. However, An Xin felt that this affair had nothing to do with her. Admittedly, Yan Zhen was willing, but she didn't want to say "I am willing," at least not now.
An Xin sighed, her warm breath landing on someone's chest, making it appear even pinker.
"How...how could you do this!" Zhou Xiruo's voice was filled with grief and anger mixed with jealousy, which made An Xin feel very sorry for her. After all, Zhou Xiruo was Yan Zhen's fiancée. In An Xin's eyes, Zhou Xiruo was a despicable and shameless mistress who had interfered in their relationship. However, feelings never come in order of priority, and the two had not yet gotten married. If they had gotten married, out of a sense of duty, even if An Xin was very sad, she would let go.
Yan Zhen showed no panic at being captured, but said very conservatively, "Xi Ruo, I'm shy, you go out first."
Zhou Xiruo's body trembled.
An Xin's body trembled!
How shameless! How could he have the nerve to say he was ashamed?! Is his skin made of concrete?!
Zhou Xiruo told herself to endure it. She must not vent her anger. Even if she did, it would only push Yan Zhen further away!
"I……"
"Miss Zhou!" An Xin suddenly spoke up. She had to think of a way to get rid of Yan Zhen, otherwise he would take advantage of her today!
Zhou Xiruo's face suddenly darkened.
