Of course, most importantly, she needed to gain the male lead’s attention. At the very least, she needed to first lessen his impression of her from the last lifetime so that she could make better impression on him. Although she believed in her husband, her impression from the previous life really wasn’t great. After getting what she needed, XunMi nodded towards the two and went up to the fifth floor. Fifth floor was filled with miscellaneous objects. There was everything. XunMi picked and chose through the objects. Seeing the red dots on the map continuously get closer and expand in numbers, she sighed. She had been able to avoid them her whole way here. She had thought she wouldn’t have to look at them for the time being. But it looked like they were unavoidable. She felt that being a clean freak in this world was going to be the death of her. She leaned near a window, examining the sword that she had just bought from the s.p.a.ce market. She really didn’t understand the market pricing. A piece of bread was overpriced but this sword was only 50 points.
“Are you two not planning on leaving yet?” XunMi took the stairs down a floor and saw the male lead and his first loyal follower were still on the fourth floor. She was a bit confused, she didn’t believe that the male lead couldn’t detect the zombies around them.
Ye MingYe couldn’t resist the urge to get closer when he saw her again. But just as he wanted to step forward, he would remember the previous lifetime. He kept reminding himself, kept berating himself, but the results were still the same.
“Ming ge, we…” Ling Chen looked outside, looked at the woman in front of them, and spoke. He had been able to survive all thanks to Ming ge.
“Let’s go.” Ye MingYe said coldly. His eyes didn’t turn to XunMi again. He headed straight forward a bit too quickly as if wanting to avoid something. Meanwhile, another person tried to hide her laughter. As expected, her husband could never be stubborn around her. But at the same time, she felt her heart ache for her husband. If she was able to recreate the last lifetime, she would definitely control the original soul well. Ai, but there was no such thing as a cure for regret.
XunMi followed behind the two of them, leaving a large distance between them. When they walked out the front door, the zombies were already within their line of vision. Looking at the head to toe dirty, skin peeling to reveal meat underneath, rotten smelling zombies, XunMi had enough. It was one thing to see this on tv, it was another to see it at such close physical distance. She wanted to vomit，艹. Before she was forced to get rid of her clean freak habits here, she just might go blind.
“Do you need a ride?” XunMi was blunt, pulling her sports car out of her s.p.a.ce inventory. She sat in the driver’s seat and tilted her head towards the two waiting for their response. There was no reason to be shy when there was an opportunity to gain good impression points.
Ye MingYe thought about it before deciding to get into XunMi’s car. He still didn’t understand how someone with only water power in the last life suddenly gained the ability to use s.p.a.ce inventory. Was this something that had changed due to his rebirth? Then could it be said that the Ming XunMi here wasn’t the same as the one that had hurt him in the last life? He shook his head, forcing those thoughts out of his brain. A cold smile formed on his face. So what if she was different? Having the same face made him unable to relax.
“Right, let me introduce myself. I’m XunMi. I’m planning on going to B City’s base. What about you two?” XunMi drove while using her water ability to create a wall out of waves so that the zombies rushing towards them wouldn’t be able to touch her car. She didn’t want them leaving any marks on this baby.
“I’m Ling Chen, this is Ming ge. We’re also planning on going to B City’s base.” After pausing, he continued. “Is Miss Ming related to B City’s Ming family?” XunMi waved her hand carelessly. “We just share the same bloodline.”
In the original plot, the original soul had fallen in the male lead’s rebirth lifetime largely due to Ming family. When the original soul arrived in B City, Ming family had already become one of the three most powerful figures. It would have been easy to protect the original soul. But in the end, they decided to allow those people to take the original soul away. They wanted to win the male lead over. Yet they hadn’t thought that the woman by the male lead’s side was the illegitimate daughter that Ming family looked down at. That allowed for the resulting fallout, where the male lead was able to gain complete control and kick Ming family out of the base. How ironic. They abandoned one daughter and was promptly abandoned by their other daughter. This could be considered a type of karma.
Ye MingYe had been watching XunMi’s expression. Seeing the sharpness in her eyes and her bitter smile, his brows furrowed. It shouldn’t be like this. In his memories, Ming family doted on this daughter, placing her in the palms of their hands. If not because of Ming family’s head, he wouldn’t have been pushed into the zombie crowd by Ming XunMi. Was there something else that he didn’t know about?
“Ming XunMi, Ming family’s beloved little princess. But based on your tone, the rumors don’t seem to be true.” He asked suspiciously.
XunMi gripped her hands harder on the steering wheel, before quickly loosening again. Yet, Ye MingYe still saw her action. The suspicion in his heart grew. He couldn’t tie this person at all to the person that had killed him in his last life.
He should kill her now just as a precaution. Especially now that he couldn’t even understand why he had such strange feelings towards her. But he couldn’t act. His subconscious was telling him that she would never hurt him. And yet the events in the last lifetime did happen. The only explanation he could think of was that there was a reason that she had to do it.
XunMi stayed quiet before sighing. Her voice was a bit distracted. “I’m just a p.a.w.n. How could they not treat me well. After all, I’m worth a lot of money at the right moment.” This was true. It was just that the original soul didn’t know it.
The original soul thought her parents and older brother truly loved her. She didn’t know that being born in that family meant no escape from arranged marriage. She could even be sent as a gift to a man in order to help Ming family climb up the social ladder. That illegitimate daughter had been kicked out because she wasn’t agreeable with the Ming family head.
Ye MingYe’s fingers slowly dug into his palms as his hands fisted together. His eyes looked straight forward so that no one could see the storm inside his eyes.
He couldn’t ignore the pain in his chest. When he heard this person’s condition, he felt limitless self-blame and remorse inside him.
“Ming family is pretty high in status. Why would they still?” Ling Chen asked the question on his mind. B city’s Ming family was truly well-renowned. On either the business or government side of things, Ming family was both influential.
