Lost Control

After a while, Shen Wuxiao finished brewing the tea and poured Liu Ruyan a cup.

"Come, Ruyan, give it a try!"

Liu Ruyan's delicate body began trembling again.

Shen Wuxiao's repeated shifts had truly tortured her beyond endurance.

If not for what had happened just now, she would probably still have thought he was a dandy she could easily manipulate.

Now, even if she were allowed to manipulate him, she would not have the courage.

If she failed to grasp the proper measure, she would die.

This was no longer fishing—it was sitting on the bank, fishing for crocodiles, liable to be dragged into the water and torn to pieces at any moment.

She took the teacup and sipped it.

Shen Wuxiao's smile remained unchanged. "How is it?"

"Mm... good tea..."

"Right? I think it's good tea too!" Shen Wuxiao filled her cup again. "Drink more!"

How could Liu Ruyan dare refuse? She could only drink cup after cup like this.

After quite a while, she felt stuffed from drinking and needed to use the bathroom.

Only then did Shen Wuxiao stop pouring for her. Instead, he pointed to the pile of joss paper and paper ingots over there.

"Now that you're back today, you haven't properly paid respects to Uncle, Auntie, and Qingqing!"

"Later, you need to offer incense for them and burn some paper."

Liu Ruyan nodded.

A sharp pain seized her chest.

If he had not mentioned it, she would not even have reacted.

Over there stood the Mourning Portraits and incense burner.

Just now, she had actually, before the spirit tablets of her parents and Sister, given herself to Shen Wuxiao... But she truly had no choice.

Staying alive was what mattered. Only by staying alive could she avenge them.

"Ruyan, remember who killed your parents. We must avenge Uncle and Auntie!"

Shen Wuxiao repeated himself.

Even Liu Ruyan, clever as she was, could not determine what Shen Wuxiao was trying to do.

Could it be that he was truly simple-minded and believed she could not see through him?

But that made no sense.

What was the point of doing this?

Yet he gave her no time to think further. Liu Ruyan suddenly felt her Jade Legs sink.

Looking downwards, she saw Shen Wuxiao already lying across her Jade Legs, gazing up at her.

"Young... Young Master Shen..."

Liu Ruyan's body went rigid.

"Shh!" Shen Wuxiao made a silencing gesture. "Let me lie here for a while. I'm feeling a little sleepy!"

Liu Ruyan's legs were soft and fragrant.

They were the finest pillow.

Especially when he lay upon such a pillow and looked up, he could not even see Liu Ruyan's entire face.

That was enough to prove just how proud she was.

"Ruyan, I believe you have no other objections regarding our cooperation."

"Now it's time for you to show some sincerity. After all, I've been running about for your Liu Family, helping you fight your enemies, right?"

Liu Ruyan's heart sank. "Young... Young Master Shen, you... how do you want me to show it..."

Shen Wuxiao opened his mouth. "I believe Ruyan is someone who knows how to repay kindness."

"Just now, I refilled your tea so many times, showing my sincerity."

"But I'm not someone who can drink tea often, and what I drink is rather special."

"So..."

Liu Ruyan was no child. Some things did not need to be spelled out.

So he had kept pouring her tea just for...

She truly could not understand Shen Wuxiao's mind.

But Liu Ruyan did not dare say no.

She was fish on the chopping block, while Shen Wuxiao held the knife.

Only by enduring today would she have a chance to take revenge.

If she angered him now and was killed, then everything would be gone.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan steeled herself and gritted her teeth.

She had thought she would be able to get through today.

But what Liu Ruyan had not expected was that Shen Wuxiao once again refused to play by the rules.

He directly pulled her into his arms.

Shen Wuxiao's arms were immensely strong. He lifted Liu Ruyan and placed her on his lap.

Then he leaned in and kissed her cheek and neck.

His movements were light and gentle.

Liu Ruyan's breathing grew much heavier.

What had happened before had long since...

Especially with Shen Wuxiao as he was now, all she could do was remain silent.

And so, in an instant, a dormant volcano became a living one.

Liu Ruyan had always been a strong-willed woman.

She had also encountered many people who wanted to take her by force.

But she had never imagined that today, someone truly would take her by force!

She could endure pain like knives carving flesh.

Yet tears still streamed down her face.

Over the years, no matter how many dangers she had faced or how many covetous eyes had watched her, she had guarded herself well.

She had only thought that one day, when she encountered someone who stirred Momentary Affection in her, she would give herself to him whole and complete!

But now, what she had guarded was gone.

And it had happened on nothing more than a sofa.

She even wondered what meaning there had been in returning.

To offer herself up?

Why had she not settled herself and patiently sought revenge? Why had she been so rash?

But the wood was already in the boat; there was no way to undo it all.

What Liu Ruyan could do now was only to Followed Suit.

Steeling herself, she wrapped her Jade Hand around Shen Wuxiao's neck.

Her fragrant snake slipped out and fiercely kissed Shen Wuxiao's lips.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, nearly two hours had passed.

Only then did everything return to calm.

Shen Wuxiao had already tidied himself up.

He did not put on his shirt, merely draping it over his shoulders.

Liu Ruyan simply stared at him in a daze.

Why did such a handsome man possess such a vicious heart?

Like a devil.

Shen Wuxiao did not care. He lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a plume of smoke.

"This smoke I breathe out is white. I've decided to name it Ruyan!"

Shen Wuxiao blinked at Liu Ruyan and smiled with incomparable handsomeness. "Rest well. Don't forget to pay respects to Uncle and Auntie. I'll be leaving first."

"Remember, we still have to cooperate!"

Shen Wuxiao pointed at the gun on the coffee table again. "I'll leave it for you. For protection, perhaps—or if you can't bear it anymore, pull the trigger at yourself and end it!"

With that, Shen Wuxiao strode toward the outside of the villa.

Without the slightest lingering, Shen Wuxiao left. Only then did Liu Ruyan endure the pain and slowly sit up.

Her beautiful hair was disheveled, and her fair skin was exceptionally alluring.

Her eyes were hollow, as though she no longer felt anything about anything.

Looking at the Mourning Portrait over there, Liu Ruyan could not stop herself from bursting into tears.

She hugged her knees tightly, her Whole body twitching without stop.

She was not crying from the pain, nor was she crying because she had been bullied.

She cried from humiliation, from her own reaction.

Just now, the enemy who had slaughtered her entire family had...

She had actually felt somewhat beside herself.

Several times, she had nearly blurted out, "***!"

"Shen Wuxiao, Shen Wuxiao!" Liu Ruyan pounded her thighs, hatred surging intensely within her.

She raised her head again, and her gaze fell upon that jet-black handgun.

On the verge of collapse, she grabbed the gun and pressed it directly beneath her chin!

Her finger rested on the trigger.

But as she looked at the Mourning Portraits over there, Liu Ruyan moved the muzzle away again and fired several shots at the villa wall. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After venting for a long while, the gun fell to the floor. Liu Ruyan dragged her exhausted body into the bathroom.

Only after a long time did she emerge again.

Looking at the enormous yet empty villa, tears once more filled her eyes.

She subconsciously Looked at the sofa again, as well as that stain on it!

After bathing, Liu Ruyan had completely Calm down.

Wasn't her purpose to get close to Shen Wuxiao? Why had she lost control?

Now that there was already a beginning, why not act the part properly?

She wiped away her tears and walked straight toward the Mourning Portraits.

She knelt on the floor and burned paper inside the villa.

Even with smoke swirling everywhere, it did not affect her in the Slightest.

She had already made up her mind to live well.

To take ruthless revenge.

And she would make that scum Shen Wuxiao Fall in Love with her, fall in love with her!

Only then would it be true revenge!!
