Trap

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

But this time, there was none of the intense, terrifying reaction from before.

Instead, she was relatively calm!

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

She herself leaned against the headboard and rubbed her temples.

As though she were pondering something.

Meanwhile, Shen Wuxiao was secretly delighted.

How great was pretending to faint!

Jiang Huaiyue's actions tonight had also taken him quite by surprise.

She had actually picked him up and carried him to the room without the slightest hesitation.

And she had efficiently untied his bathrobe.

This showed that Jiang Huaiyue's psychological barriers were disappearing bit by bit.

She simply could not accept it all at once.

But it was still not enough!

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

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

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

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

Everything was just as Shen Wuxiao had expected!

After pondering for quite a while, Jiang Huaiyue turned to look at Shen Wuxiao.

Seeing how quietly he lay there, Jiang Huaiyue let out a sigh.

"How did I end up tangled up with you in so many ways..."

She murmured it, looking somewhat dazed.

It was as if an invisible giant hand were manipulating them, binding them together.

From complete strangers to building a foundation of friendship, then, under the threat of those two experts, unexpectedly giving her body to Shen Wuxiao.

Even now, she herself felt somewhat lost.

Just days ago, she had still come for Lin Fan.

Never mind not getting to see Lin Fan—she had actually shared so many ambiguous moments with the guy beside her.

She even wondered whether she was some fickle woman.

Yet she also knew that she and Lin Fan could never be together. The moment she gave her body to the guy beside her, it had already been destined.

Jiang Huaiyue clenched her hands, unease stirring within her.

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

The ring had been the reward for being the lucky couple at the couple's restaurant that evening, and they had put them on each other.

Even if they had done so amid everyone's teasing, was it not also because neither of them had felt any resistance in their hearts?

If she had resisted, she would have left the moment she learned it was a couple's restaurant.

How could she have stayed to keep eating?

No, strictly speaking, if she had resisted inwardly, none of what happened today would have happened.

Amid self-doubt and self-persuasion, Jiang Huaiyue sighed once more.

Her lovely face flushed crimson as she planned to help Shen Wuxiao get dressed in his bathrobe, then leave the room and sleep on the sofa.

But Shen Wuxiao happened to mumble, as though transitioning from unconsciousness into deep sleep.

With a turn, one of his legs pressed down on her.

Half of his body wrapped around her!

"Mm~" Jiang Huaiyue gave an instinctive soft moan.

Jiang Huaiyue froze on the spot.

They were nearly face-to-face, even their noses touching.

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

She did not struggle, nor did she push away Shen Wuxiao.

She simply remained like that.

Only after more than ten minutes did Jiang Huaiyue gently move away Shen Wuxiao's arm around her.

And slip out of his embrace.

After getting out of bed, she could not help but look at the sleeping Shen Wuxiao again.

After hesitating, she still went over and tucked the blanket around him.

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

There was already a quilt outside that Shen Wuxiao had used to rest the night before. She casually took it and covered herself with it.

Shen Wuxiao in the room opened his eyes.

A wicked smile hung on his lips.

He was in no hurry. He needed to weave his trap properly.

Now that Jiang Huaiyue had gone outside to sleep, he simply went to sleep for real.

Early the next morning, Shen Wuxiao stretched lazily as soon as he got up.

Then came a cry of, "Fuck!"

He looked extremely nervous.

Wrapped in his bathrobe, he hurriedly ran outside.

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

There was no need to think about it—his brain definitely had not caught up yet.

Waking up to find himself in the room where she slept, with nothing on his body, how could he possibly not be shocked?

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

He swallowed, looking somewhat incoherent. "I... Why am I in your room? Did I do something to you?"

Jiang Huaiyue pursed her lips and said nothing.

Shen Wuxiao looked deeply annoyed. "Um, listen to my explanation. I don't know what happened either!"

"I only remember that after I showered yesterday, I lay on the sofa thinking about something, then suddenly slept like the dead."

"Could it be that I sleepwalked? Did I do something to you?"

Hearing that, Jiang Huaiyue was about to explain.

But Shen Wuxiao seemed unwilling to give her the chance to speak, raising his hand to slap his own face.

Jiang Huaiyue rushed forward and quickly 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 the jade hand gripping his wrist.

She was still wearing that ring. She had not taken it off.

Joy surged in his heart. This was about enough.

This was the perfect chance to disappear for a while and, while he was at it, deal with Lin Fan!

"Don't overthink it. It isn't like that!" Jiang Huaiyue hurriedly said.

Shen Wuxiao still shook his head. "I was lying naked in your bed. How can that possibly be explained clearly?"

"You don't need to hide anything. If I did that sort of thing, I will take responsibility to the very end. I'll give you time to consider it. I definitely won't go back on my word."

After saying that, Shen Wuxiao ran straight to the sofa and got dressed.

Then he charged out the door at top speed.

He absolutely could not let her explain things clearly. He had to force a misunderstanding into existence.

"Hey..." Jiang Huaiyue was truly dumbfounded. She could not stop him no matter how she called out.

Why was that guy running?!

In a flash, he ran outside, got into the car, and drove off in one smooth sequence.

Jiang Huaiyue watched helplessly as the car vanished from sight.

Still, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good for them to give each other some space; otherwise, it would be far too awkward.

Now that Shen Wuxiao had gone out, she could also calm herself and think carefully about how to handle this relationship between them.

After leaving the villa, Shen Wuxiao headed straight to another residence.

Jiang Huaiyue truly needed to calm down and think things through.

But Shen Wuxiao did not. What he needed to think about was how to deal with Lin Fan tonight!

The Sea Brake Society's Kill Order had already been issued, and most Bounty Hunters were on their way.

He could completely disguise himself as an urban Bounty Hunter and go assassinate Lin Fan!

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

But that little bastard could fight above his level.

Still, Shen Wuxiao wanted to see the true strength of the so-called Destiny Protagonist, the Border Wolf King.

That way, he could judge how many Cultivation Levels above the Protagonist he needed to be in the future to crush him completely!

Even if Lin Fan could escape, he was not afraid of being unable to find him.

As long as he switched to the identity of Brother Sikong, one phone call would be enough for Lin Fan to reveal his real location.

That was the advantage of having multiple identities.

Thinking of this, Shen Wuxiao grew excited.

No matter what, he had to take something from Lin Fan today!

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