The little boy missed his chance to grab Xu Xiangsi’s apple. When he looked up, he saw the bigger and redder one in Long Peiye’s hand.
His eyes darted around, and without hesitation, he shifted his target, taking a step with his short legs and lunging at the apple in Long Peiye’s hand!
“Mine! The apple is mine!”
Long Peiye frowned, about to raise his hand to avoid it.
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xiangsi behind him moved!
She swiftly and accurately kicked the little boy in the outside of his thigh.
She didn’t use much force, but the little boy was already unsteady, and when he was kicked like that, he immediately cried out “Ouch!” and staggered several steps to the side before falling to his bottom.
As for the apple, I obviously didn’t manage to snag one.
Long Peiye’s eyes widened in shock, clearly not expecting Xu Xiangsi to act so decisively and directly.
This woman…this woman is too fierce!
The old woman was arguing with the fashionable woman when she caught a glimpse of her beloved grandson being kicked to the ground, and she immediately flew into a rage!
“Oh my goodness! My dear grandson!”
She let out a shrill scream, no longer caring about arguing with the woman, and turned around to pounce on Xu Xiangsi viciously!
“You little slut! How dare you hit my grandson! I’ll fight you to the death today!”
Those withered fingers spread out, their nails long and sharp, as if they were about to scratch the face of Xu Xiangsi!
Long Peiye’s eyes turned cold, and he was about to subdue the crazy woman.
But Xu Xiangsi was even faster than him!
With a flick of her wrist, she pulled out the gleaming fruit knife from somewhere.
A flash of cold light, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed precisely at the onrushing old woman.
The old woman’s withered fingers stopped just inches from the tip of the knife.
Her cloudy old eyes were fixed on the tip of the knife, then on Xu Xiangsi’s pretty face, which showed no sign of backing down.
This girl is serious!
If she doesn’t stop, this headbutt will definitely leave a bloody hole!
The old woman took a step back in fright, then burst into an even sharper curse: “You damned little whore! How dare you point a knife at me!”
Xu Xiangsi’s hand gripping the hilt of the knife was as steady as a rock, and her eyes were even colder than the tip of the blade.
“In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you rob a ship like this?” Her voice wasn’t loud, but every word was clear and carried a chilling aura. “Where are the ship’s security personnel? Are they all dead?”
The old woman was stunned for a moment by her appearance, but then she started throwing a tantrum again, spitting as she spoke: “Pah! Robbery? My grandson just wanted a bite of your apple! And you beat him so badly! Now you even dare to use a knife! Have you no regard for the law?!”
Xu Xiangsi scoffed, her eyes full of mockery: “He’s craving apples, don’t you know to just buy them? Stealing other people’s things and then making up so many excuses!”
Long Peiye stood beside Xu Xiangsi, looking at her with admiration.
His cheap wife is really… wild!
He kicks people without warning.
If they disagree, they’ll just draw their knives!
The woman who had been harassed by the old woman earlier had now come to her senses and immediately found an ally.
She put her hands on her hips and shouted in a shrill voice, “This child just rushed into my room and tried to grab something! The old woman even tried to grab it too! If we don’t teach this child a lesson now, what will he be like when he grows up? He’ll probably be shot!”
“You good-for-nothing, born of a mother but not taught by one!”
The old woman was furious when she heard someone dare to curse her precious grandson!
His old face flushed red instantly. He didn’t care about the knife in Xu Xiangsi’s hand. He turned around abruptly and pounced on the fashionable woman like a fighting rooster!
“You foul-mouthed, stinking woman! How dare you curse my grandson! I’ll tear your mouth apart today!”
Seeing this, Xu Xiangsi shrugged triumphantly at Long Peiye.
She mouthed silently, “See, now it’s none of our business.”
Long Peiye looked at her with some helplessness. This girl really seemed to thrive on chaos.
However, just as Xu Xiangsi withdrew her gaze and was about to say something to Long Peiye, a sudden change occurred!
The little boy who was kicked to the ground never took his shifty eyes off Xu Xiangsi’s apple from beginning to end.
At that moment, taking advantage of everyone’s attention being drawn, he moved again!
The small figure lunged at Xu Xiangsi once again with ferocity.
The target remained the same—the apple in her hand.
“Hey, are you still not done yet?!”
Xu Xiangsi cursed under her breath, not having time to put the fruit knife away, the tip pointing directly at the little boy’s chest.
“!”
In the blink of an eye, Long Peiye had no time to think. He instantly grabbed Xu Xiangsi’s wrist and lifted it up sharply.
The knife tip narrowly missed the little boy’s head!
With his other hand, Long Peiye grabbed the little boy by the back of his neck and lifted him up effortlessly, like picking up a chick, and then tossed him aside!
The little boy fell on his bottom with a thud, this time completely stunned, sitting on the ground with his mouth open, forgetting to cry.

Xu Xiangsi was also taken aback by Long Peiye’s sudden action.
She blinked, looked at her wrist, then at the little kid on the ground.
She finally realized what was happening and raised an eyebrow at Long Peiye: “Hey, you’re pretty quick on the uptake.”
Long Peiye felt a layer of cold sweat seep from his forehead, and his heart was still pounding wildly.
He released Xu Xiangsi’s wrist, his voice still a little tight: “If I hadn’t reacted in time, that knife you just stabbed would have gone straight into his heart!”
Xu Xiangsi awkwardly withdrew her hand and said weakly, “I just… didn’t realize it yet.”
Just then, the little boy who had just been thrown aside by Long Peiye finally came to his senses.
With a loud “waaaaa,” she burst into a heart-wrenching wail!
Upon hearing her beloved grandson’s cries, his grandmother forgot all about the fight and turned around abruptly. She immediately saw her grandson sitting on the ground, his face covered in snot and tears from crying.
Then look at Xu Xiangsi and Long Peiye, especially Xu Xiangsi’s fruit knife that she hadn’t had time to put away.
The old woman felt a surge of anger rush to her head!
She slapped her thigh, lay down, and wailed, “Murder! This bastard is killing people! There’s no justice! Someone on the ship is trying to kill my precious grandson!”
