Changing Faces

Liu Ruyan lightly shifted her Jade Legs aside, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Young Master Shen, don't be like this..."

For revenge, Liu Ruyan had truly given it a shot.

Instead, her manner looked like she was refusing while inviting him in.

She believed that a lecherous bastard like Shen Wuxiao would definitely get excited, then press his advantage inch by inch.

Men were nothing more than that—easy to keep in the palm of her hand.

All she had to do was proceed step by step, keep Shen Wuxiao dangling, and occasionally give him a little sweetness.

Given the current situation, keeping Shen Wuxiao steady was the most important thing.

She had to make Shen Wuxiao believe that she truly believed his nonsense, so that she would work with him to deal with that Lin Fan!

On the surface, she would cooperate with Shen Wuxiao against Lin Fan. In truth, she would cooperate with Lin Fan against Shen Wuxiao.

Once today was over, she would go find Lin Fan.

She only needed to confirm that Shen Wuxiao was their common enemy.

Since she was by Shen Wuxiao's side, if he had any plans, he would definitely discuss them with her.

Then Lin Fan could prepare in advance, and Shen Wuxiao would surely reap what he had sown.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you would win every battle!

Liu Ruyan's mind worked quickly. She had already begun carrying out the first step: fishing.

She knew Shen Wuxiao was exactly the sort of lecherous Dandy she could manipulate.

It was only because his status was too high and his power too great. If they had been placed on equal footing, Shen Wuxiao would have been played to death by her!

Shen Wuxiao smiled as well. "Don't be like this? Then how should I be?"

"Ruyan, you're far prettier than your Sister. How about we deepen our cooperation?"

A wave of revulsion rose in Liu Ruyan, but she forced herself to endure it. "Young Master Shen, we can't... you're my brother-in-law... Even if my Sister is gone, you still are..."

Liu Ruyan deliberately said it that way. That pervert Shen Wuxiao would surely become even more excited.

That gave her more leverage to keep him hooked.

She had to leave him craving but unable to have her, then give him a little hope, a target.

That way, for the sake of that target, he would let her manipulate him as she pleased.

Shen Wuxiao continued smiling. "Don't say that. We're partners now too!"

"Cooperation requires sincerity. You need to know my length and girth, and I need to know your depth and shallows!"

Shen Wuxiao acted extremely lecherous.

Yet inwardly, he asked the system, Is this woman Not Clean? If she is, I'll kill her!

"Ding! Liu Ruyan is still untouched!"

"Her fishing skills are superb, but she has never suffered a loss!"

Shen Wuxiao was amused.

Superb fishing skills? The people she had hooked must all have been idiots!

If he truly did something, what could she do about it?

"Young Master Shen, no, we can't, really, we can't. Don't be like this..."

Liu Ruyan gently shook her head. Her beautiful hair swayed, fragrance spilling through the air.

Her delicate body shrank away to the side.

Shen Wuxiao withdrew his hand. "It seems you don't like this method!"

Seeing that, Liu Ruyan Breathed a sigh of relief, while also leaving him a subtle opening. "Feelings cannot be forced. At the very least, I don't have feelings for you yet."

"A forcibly twisted melon is not sweet!"

By saying that, she was clearly giving Shen Wuxiao hope, making him subconsciously think about cultivating feelings between them.

With that, she was halfway there.

So what if he was a top young master? Wasn't he still easy to keep in the palm of her hand?

As long as he had a goal and desperately wanted to achieve it, she did not need to fear being unable to hook him.

At this moment, Shen Wuxiao slowly rose to his feet. He lifted a hand to the back of his waist, and in the next second, pulled out a pitch-black handgun.

Click! Click!

A bullet was chambered, and the muzzle pressed directly against Liu Ruyan's head!

Shen Wuxiao's tone was cold, and his face carried a disdainful smile.

"What This Young Master wants, who can say no? A forcibly twisted melon may not be sweet, but it can still quench thirst. Did you really think I wanted to date you?"

"Now tell This Young Master: do you choose for your head to bloom, or for both your literature and martial arts to bloom?"

Cold sweat instantly drenched Liu Ruyan's entire body.

With the icy muzzle pressed against her forehead, how could a woman like her not be afraid?

Moreover, she had never expected Shen Wuxiao to change faces so quickly.

Just moments ago, he had worn a lecherous expression. In the blink of an eye, he had become like an asura.

That Handsome Face had gone cold. Though he was still so handsome, he made one shudder with fear.

He was completely different from all the men she had encountered before.

Those men had wanted her, but all of them had thought of currying favor with her.

They wanted her to willingly lie down for them, but that was nothing but a painted cake—something that could never happen.

But now, everything had been thrown into complete disorder.

This madman Shen Wuxiao dared to openly massacre her entire family. How could he possibly be afraid to kill her?

For the first time, she felt despair.

"Young... Young Master Shen... I... Don't... don't be like this, okay..."

Liu Ruyan's lips trembled. She was terrified.

Her seductive, lovely face had turned deathly pale as well.

Shen Wuxiao moved the muzzle away and aimed it at a plate on the dining table.

Bang!

The gunshot echoed through the villa.

The plate on the table instantly exploded!

Shen Wuxiao aimed the gun at Liu Ruyan's head again. "That wasn't an answer. That was a warning. You have one more chance!"

"Do you think the next bullet will jam, or will it blow your head apart?"

Liu Ruyan had lost every last bit of defiance.

Her entire body trembled violently.

All her arrogance, pride, and confidence were shattered by that single gunshot.

Liu Ruyan slowly moved, then fell to her knees.

"Young... Young Master Shen... As long as you want it, anything is fine..."

Shen Wuxiao finally revealed a smile. "Very good. Now that is the sincerity of cooperation. Otherwise, you were acting as though I owed you something."

"You've really made me very angry..."

Shen Wuxiao pulled over a chair and sat down directly in front of Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan's mind was blank, but instinct still drove her to do it.

She knew that Shen Wuxiao truly dared to kill people.

He was not merely trying to frighten or threaten her.

Only after a long while did Shen Wuxiao finally calm his anger.

Looking at Liu Ruyan's dazed, bedraggled appearance, there was none of the proud coldness she had possessed upon arriving.

Shen Wuxiao knew how to cherish delicate beauty, too.

He reached out, grabbed Liu Ruyan by the hair, and pulled her up.

Liu Ruyan did not dare resist at all. She could only obey.

Even though rage boiled over in her heart, she still hid it well.

Once she was standing properly, Shen Wuxiao thoughtfully helped arrange her beautiful hair.

"Look at you. You're already grown up, so you need to pay attention to your image!"

"And besides, one kneels to heaven, earth, and one's parents. Why did you kneel to me? Do your knees hurt?"

At this moment, Shen Wuxiao's eyes were actually full of tenderness.

He even absurdly revealed a hint of heartache!

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan grew even more afraid.

Shen Wuxiao raised a hand and gently wiped at the corner of his mouth, his voice equally soft. "You're like a child. You don't even know to wipe your mouth after eating."

"Come, let's go do it on the sofa... no, sit. We definitely can't eat this meal anymore—it looks like Syria!"

As he spoke, he took Liu Ruyan's slender Jade Hand and headed toward the sofa.

Shen Wuxiao deliberately placed the gun on the coffee table, right within Liu Ruyan's line of sight.

He himself began making tea.

Liu Ruyan did not dare move, silent as a cicada in winter.

She saw that the pitch-black handgun was less than a meter away from her.

Countless thoughts surged through her heart. She wanted to grab the gun and shoot Shen Wuxiao dead.

But after struggling with herself again and again, she still did not touch it.

She was not confident.

If she could not kill him with a single strike, then forget revenge—she would certainly die today.

She was not very familiar with guns, nor did she know whether the safety was on or off.

She did not dare gamble.

"This tea is truly excellent. This is Golden Melon Tribute Tea, isn't it? It's something one can only encounter by chance, difficult to buy even with money!"

"The Liu Family truly has some foundation. Even the tea kept here for entertaining guests is this good!"

Shen Wuxiao did not pay her any attention, merely sniffing the small tea canister to himself.
