Trap

In the room, Jiang Huaiyue had already moved her lips away from Shen Wuxiao's.

But this time, there wasn't the same intense, startled reaction as before.

Instead, she was quite calm!

After moving her lips away, she still shifted Shen Wuxiao to the side.

She herself leaned against the headboard, rubbing her temples.

As if contemplating something.

Shen Wuxiao, meanwhile, was feeling rather pleased.

Playing dead was so good!

Jiang Huaiyue's actions tonight also surprised him quite a bit.

She had picked him up and brought him to the room without hesitation.

And had even unfastened his bathrobe cleanly and efficiently.

From this, it could be seen that Jiang Huaiyue's psychological barriers were gradually disappearing.

It was just that she couldn't accept it all at once.

However, it wasn't enough!

Given Jiang Huaiyue's personality, she would definitely blame herself.

After all, she still had feelings for Lin Fan, and she had come for Lin Fan!

The emotional foundation between the two of them was also solid.

Yet, her body had been given to him, so she would definitely fall into self-doubt.

Everything was as Shen Wuxiao had predicted!

Jiang Huaiyue pondered for a while before turning to look at Shen Wuxiao.

Seeing him lying there so quietly, Jiang Huaiyue sighed.

"Why did I get so entangled with you..."

She murmured, sounding a bit dazed.

Between the two of them, it felt as though an invisible hand was manipulating them, binding them together.

From being strangers to establishing a foundation of friendship, and then, due to the threat of those two experts, her body was unexpectedly given to Shen Wuxiao.

Even she herself was a little lost now.

Just a few days ago, she had come for Lin Fan.

Not only had she not met Lin Fan, but she had also become quite intimate with the guy beside her.

She even suspected if she was a fickle woman.

But she also knew clearly that there was no future for her and Lin Fan; the fact that her body had been given to the guy beside her had already sealed their fate.

Jiang Huaiyue clenched her fists, a sense of unease churning within her.

But suddenly, she touched the ring on her ring finger.

The ring was a reward for the lucky couple at the romantic restaurant that evening, and they had put it on each other.

Even if they did it under the crowd's encouragement, it was also a result of not having any resistance in their hearts.

If she had resisted, she would have left long ago upon learning it was a romantic restaurant.

Why would she continue to eat?

No, strictly speaking, if she had resisted in her heart, the events of today would never have happened.

Lost in self-doubt and self-persuasion, Jiang Huaiyue sighed again.

With her pretty face flushed red, she intended to help Shen Wuxiao put on his bathrobe and then leave the room to sleep on the sofa.

But just then, Shen Wuxiao mumbled something, as if transitioning from unconsciousness to deep sleep.

He rolled over, and one of his legs landed on her.

Half of his body embraced her!

"Mmm~" Jiang Huaiyue unconsciously let out a soft hum.

Jiang Huaiyue froze instantly.

The two were almost face-to-face, their noses touching.

Jiang Huaiyue could clearly feel Shen Wuxiao's steady breathing.

She didn't struggle, nor did she push Shen Wuxiao away.

She just remained like that.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Huaiyue gently moved away Shen Wuxiao's arm that was holding her.

She extricated herself from his embrace.

After getting out of bed, she couldn't help but glance again at the sleeping Shen Wuxiao.

After a moment of hesitation, she still went over and tucked him in.

She herself then left the room and slept on the sofa outside.

There was already a blanket on the outside that Shen Wuxiao had used last night. She casually grabbed it and covered herself with it.

Shen Wuxiao, inside the room, opened his eyes.

A mischievous smile played on his lips.

He wasn't in a hurry; he needed to set a trap.

Now that Jiang Huaiyue had gone to sleep outside, he might as well actually sleep.

The next morning, when Shen Wuxiao woke up, he first stretched.

Immediately after, he exclaimed, "What the f*ck!"

He seemed extremely nervous.

Wrapped in a bathrobe, he rushed out.

Jiang Huaiyue, who was preparing breakfast outside, was also drawn by his sudden commotion.

She didn't need to think to know that he must have been confused. Waking up in her room, not wearing anything, how could he not be surprised?

After Shen Wuxiao ran out, he met Jiang Huaiyue's gaze.

He swallowed and stammered, "I... how did I end up in your room? Did I do something to you?"

Jiang Huaiyue pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Shen Wuxiao looked very distressed. "Uh, let me explain. I don't know what happened!"

"I just remember that after I took a bath yesterday, I was lying on the sofa thinking, and then I suddenly fell fast asleep."

"Could I have been sleepwalking? Did I do something to you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyue was about to explain.

But Shen Wuxiao seemed to give her no chance to speak, raising his hand to slap himself.

Jiang Huaiyue quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "Why are you hitting yourself?"

Shen Wuxiao sighed. "I must have done something I shouldn't have!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Jiang Huaiyue's jade-like hand gripping his wrist.

She was still wearing that ring; she hadn't taken it off.

His heart leaped with joy. This was perfect.

He'd take this opportunity to disappear and then go deal with Lin Fan!

"Don't overthink it, it's not like that!" Jiang Huaiyue said hurriedly.

Shen Wuxiao continued to shake his head. "How can I explain myself lying naked in your bed!"

"You don't need to hide it. If I did something like that, I'll definitely take responsibility. I'll give you time to consider, and I won't go back on my word."

After speaking, Shen Wuxiao ran straight to the sofa, put on his clothes.

Then, he rushed out the door as fast as he could.

He absolutely couldn't let her explain. He had to force a misunderstanding.

"Hey..." Jiang Huaiyue was truly stunned. She couldn't stop him.

Why was that guy running away?

He just vanished, got in the car, and drove off, all in one smooth motion.

Jiang Huaiyue watched the car disappear from sight.

However, she also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good for them to have some space, otherwise, it would be too awkward.

Now that Shen Wuxiao was gone, she could finally calm down and think carefully about how to handle this relationship.

Shen Wuxiao left the villa and went directly to another residence.

Jiang Huaiyue truly needed to calm down and think.

But Shen Wuxiao didn't need to. What he needed to think about was how to deal with Lin Fan that night!

The Sea Brake Society's kill order had already been issued, and most of the bounty hunters were on their way.

He could perfectly disguise himself as an urban bounty hunter and assassinate Lin Fan!

He was currently at Sixth Rank, Fifth Stage, far surpassing Lin Fan.

But that brat could fight beyond his rank.

However, he also wanted to see the true strength of the so-called Destiny Protagonist, the Border Wolf King.

Based on this, he could determine how many realms higher than the Protagonist he needed to be to achieve true dominance!

Even if Lin Fan managed to escape, Shen Wuxiao wasn't worried about not being able to find him.

As long as he switched to his "Brother Sikong" alias, one phone call would be enough to make Lin Fan reveal his real location.

This was the advantage of having multiple identities.

Shen Wuxiao felt a surge of excitement at the thought.

He was determined to take something from Lin Fan today!

He could even start by accepting a mission to take Lin Fan's ear!
