"Xiao Yanxi, are you sick in the head?"

Ning Chen's furious roar came out of the main hall and carried all over the outer court. The maids and servants outside jumped.

It was the first time they had ever seen Ning Chen angry, and it was terrifying.

Ning Chen stared at Xiao Yanxi, furious and lost for words... This woman is no good!

What kind of good news is that?

The De Emperor was heartless to you. Isn't that good news for you?"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes. "How's that good news?"
