pness in a single night, leaning listlessly against the door… Shen Xiujin, what do you want me to… how can I handle this!Throughout the entire time, the woman never uttered a word to ask why he was at...The elevator "dinged" and opened. Shen Xiujin strode out, holding Jian Tong in his arms, sprinting all the way into the bedroom, gently placing her on the large bed. He reached out to remove her soaked clothes.

With slender fingers, he unbuttoned her garment layer by layer. The first layer, a coat; the second, a shirt; the third... A slight furrow appeared between the man's brows. This woman, on such a scorching day, usually wore so many layers

His finger landed on the long-sleeved undergarment in the third layer. He was very puzzled, wondering who would wear such an autumnal cotton long sleeve under layers of clothing in the middle of summer.

But, she can't just be left wearing wet clothes like that.

Shen Xiuqin quickened his movements, stripping off her damp clothes. His gaze fell on the outdated and conservative bra, but there was no hesitation in his eyes as he unhooked her last layer of protection. In his vision, a pair of hills suddenly rose up, leaving the man breathless for three seconds.

Quickly, he turned and retrieved his white shirt from the closet, putting it on her.

All actions were done in one swift motion, without a moment's pause. Naturally, in the midst of this hurried change of clothes, he overlooked the wound on her back just below her waist where she was concealed.

Shen Xiujin put the shirt on her. Just as he reached out to help her change out of her wet pants, the person on the bed suddenly kicked her legs wildly, as if she were in great fear.

Whoosh!

Shen Xiuqin raised his head and glanced at the person on the bed. The person was still asleep, but their face, which was already pale, now showed fear and terror in their sleep, as if they had been startled by something.

He moved his hand away a little, and the person calmed down. Shen Xiujin tentatively placed his hand on her waist again, and sure enough! Her tightly closed face contorted with fear once more.

Caught off guard, Shen Xiujin was kicked square in the jaw. He stretched out his long arm and clamped her ankle with his palm, finally stopping the errant foot.

The man held her ankle, his black eyes fixed on her sleeping face, lost in thought... How could she be so sensitive to this gesture, even terrified

Deep in thought, the person in bed fell back into a nightmare and began to babble.

"Ah Lu, Ah Lu, take me away, take me away..."

Shen Xiujin's big palms almost crushed her ankle, his black eyes flashed coldly... "A-Lu, A-Lu," she cried out. Is Lu Chen that good

He stared intently at the person on the bed...Jian Tong, just give up this heart of yours. Want Lu Chen to take you away Want to elope with Lu Chen

Dream!

"Alulu..."

The woman was still whispering.

Shen Xiujin's expression at this moment was becoming increasingly cold, gradually approaching the coldness of sub-zero temperatures. His eyes were fixed on the tears that slid from the corner of the woman's eye in bed.

She cried!

Whether it was three years ago or three years from now, in Shen Xiuqin's memory, she had never seen Jian Tong shed tears for anyone!

For Lu Chen!

For some reason, when these four words popped into his mind, he felt an urge to destroy Lu Chen and personally kill this woman!

He stared fixedly at the single tear tracing its path from the corner of her eye, watching as it ran down her cheek and into the pillow, leaving a damp spot behind... How annoying!

An eyesore!

Everything is annoying!

The pillow is in the way!

The bed sheets are an eyesore!

Her tears were even more pathetic!

Jian Tong fell into a nightmare, an unsolvable infinite loop. Though it was her nightmare, she was strangely enamored with everything in the dream. At least, A-Lu, still lived in her dream.

"A-Lu..."

"Alù" A cold, ghostly voice entered his ears, accompanied by Jian Tong's suffocating pain. The voice was right beside him: "Alù! Open your eyes for me, look clearly, who am I!"

The same words, Shen Xiujin said twice today. His eyes were as cold as ice, and she had misidentified him twice!

On the same day, within just half an hour, she—Jian Tong!—mistook herself for someone else twice!

Jian Tong woke up from the pain of suffocation, only to find that the person she least wanted to see was cradling her throat like a madman!

He increased the pressure on her neck, she suddenly widened her eyes, realizing — he, Shen Xiujing, was really going to kill her!

Her breathing grew increasingly labored, and she was suddenly reminded of the terror she felt half an hour ago when she nearly drowned. Abruptly, Jian Tong lay straight on her bed, no longer struggling.

But such a display from her only fueled the man's frustration: "Struggle! Beg me! Why aren't you struggling Why aren't you begging me Don't you know how to kneel and beg for mercy Isn't your pathetic life something you cherish most Struggle!" He was furious, though he couldn't understand why; he was enraged, without a clue as to the cause!

It's just that this damn woman, with a look of reckless abandon and utter boredom!

"I said, struggle! I told you to struggle!" Does she just want to die like this No! Is she this concerned about Lu Chen, willing to die rather than show weakness

Shen Xiujin didn't realize that he was eating Lu Chen's vinegar. His crazy actions were more like a child who couldn't get the toy, acting unreasonably. The high IQ Shen Shao and the low EQ Shen Xiujin, one way a child acts out of reason is to hurt those who care about him, without realizing it.

He didn't even realize that what he wanted wasn't Jian Tong's "struggle" and "pleading", nor even her "weakness". What he wanted was just one attitude from her—an attitude in which, in her heart, Shen Xiuqin was still the only one who mattered!

He loomed over her, his long, muscular body pressing down on hers. Suddenly, he released his grip and stared down at her from above, as if she were an ant. A cold smile curled his thin lips:

"Two million, sleep with me for one night."

Jian Tong, you love money so much, let him see if Lu Chen is more important or money is more important.

Jian Tong suspected she had misheard. She raised her head slowly, "What did you say"

"Aren't you greedy Aren't you willing to risk your life for two million Sleep with me for one night, two million, I'll give it to you."

Jian Tong remained silent for a long time, as if frozen in place. She just kept her eyes fixed on the man above her, blinking not once.

"No."

Sheng Xiujin narrowed his eyes: "You...said no"

"Yes," she looked at him: "No, I mean no."

For Lu Chen … For Lu Chen!

Then this greedy woman refused two million

Lu Chen... is that important!

A wicked fire surged within his heart, and suddenly! He buried his face, pressing his thin lips harshly against Jian Tong's.

It's those damn lips, just saying things that piss him off!

It's those damned lips, driving me mad time and time again!

He kissed her lips fiercely, though they were rough as burlap, he found them addictive, a sweetness that reached his very bones!

As if, these lips were always meant to belong to him, Shen Xiujin!

He opened his eyes... This person, should have belonged to him, Shen Xiujian!himself, "Since you're dead, all your assets will be inherited by her, won't they"He didn't say who "she" was, but the man on the bed clearly had a glint in his eye."You seem to know me pretty well.""...
