A Reincarnated Turtle

Oh my God.

She could actually see through the man's immaculate shirt to the sights beneath.

Wow.

That bastard had such a great body!

Those contours, those abs, those V-lines... what a waste to make him the main villain.

If he worked at a nightclub, he'd definitely be the star attraction!

The muscles in Lu Heng's face twitched slightly. This woman actually compared him to those filthy things who serviced rich women?

Heh.

Woman, you've made me angry.

Wait, this woman could actually see his body. Could her reward be...

Just then, Lu Heng heard that sweet, babyish voice speak again.

[Dear host, the reward you've received is X-ray vision.]

Xia Zhi asked, [For one hour again?]

Little Sponge replied, [Yep.]

Wow.

If even a villain had such a great body, wouldn't the male lead's be even better?

Xia Zhi couldn't imagine what an even better body would look like. She just felt it was such a shame that the male lead wasn't here right now.

Otherwise, she could have seen what an even better body looked like.

Tsk.

What a shame. No such feast for her eyes.

Lu Heng's expression visibly darkened further.

This man-crazy woman!

Xia Zhi's gaze drifted toward Lawyer Zhang, who stood to the side. Maybe even this extra had an impressive body.

But before her gaze could land on Lawyer Zhang, Lu Heng stood up, blocking her view.

"Lawyer Zhang, head back first. Draft a new divorce agreement tomorrow."

He had torn up a page of today's agreement.

Lawyer Zhang said, "Yes, Mr. Lu."

He turned, closed the door, and left.

Because Lu Heng had stood up so suddenly, Xia Zhi's gaze unexpectedly met a certain spot.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Xia Zhi abruptly covered her eyes, nearly screaming.

Aaaah!!!

She was going to get a stye!

Lu Heng immediately realized something too. He hurriedly turned his back and grabbed the blanket from the sofa, about to hold it in front of himself, but stopped at the crucial moment. He couldn't let this woman realize he could hear her thoughts.

"Xia Zhi, what's wrong?"

Xia Zhi wanted to scream, but no sound came out. She simply covered her eyes, at a complete loss.

Defiled, defiled! Her eyes had been defiled!

She absolutely had to go to the eye clinic tomorrow and get them thoroughly washed!

Seeing Xia Zhi act aggrieved after getting a free eyeful infuriated Lu Heng.

"Do your eyes hurt? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

The hospital?

No, no. She didn't want to go anywhere crowded right now. What if she saw something else she shouldn't?

Good grief, what kind of reward was this?

This was a punishment!

Little Sponge's voice suddenly popped into her mind. [Host, haven't you always wanted to get rich?]

Xia Zhi was quick on the uptake. It suddenly struck her: Right, she had X-ray vision now. She could buy lottery scratch cards and win big!

Xia Zhi quickly searched deep in her memories and found a nearby convenience store that sold scratch cards.

She vaguely remembered that the top prize for scratch cards was one million!

She was going to be rich!

Ahahahaha!

Lu Heng: "..."

Well, he no longer needed handwriting confirmation. He was now absolutely certain that the Xia Zhi before him had someone else inside.

Because the original Xia Zhi would never have gotten this excited over a mere million. Any one of the handbags in her wardrobe was worth millions.

This woman still needed to broaden her horizons.

But depriving this woman of her happiness was what Lu Heng wanted most right now, so naturally, he couldn't let Xia Zhi get her wish and win a prize.

"Since your eyes are fine, I'm hungry now. Go heat up the food."

Lu Heng sat down, looking ready to wait for his meal.

Xia Zhi already had one leg out, ready for a hundred-meter sprint, but Lu Heng's words brought her to a dead stop.

What?

This damn pervert wanted to eat, too?

As she recalled, he seemed never to have eaten a single meal at home.

What on earth had gotten into him today?

Lu Heng raised a hand. "Don't say anything. I just want a quiet meal. Go heat up the food."

Whew.

What a blessing in disguise.

Thank goodness the damn pervert wouldn't let her speak, or she'd have given herself away.

Xia Zhi hurriedly carried the dishes from the table into the kitchen. She had to get this bastard out of the way quickly. She still needed to buy lottery tickets and make her first pot of gold.

There was a whole tableful of dishes. Carrying them back and forth left Xia Zhi's arms weak.

She regretted it so much.

If she'd known, she wouldn't have gotten so much takeout.

In a moment of madness, she'd thought, How could she play the dutiful wife without preparing a whole table of dishes?

And now look.

She'd shot herself in the foot.

She turned the heat up high and reheated the dishes as fast as she could.

Xia Zhi worked up a sweat while Lu Heng sat at the dining table, calmly watching her bustle about. His deep eyes rested quietly on her, his emotions unreadable.

When all the food was back on the table, Xia Zhi checked the time-

Oh no!

Only half an hour left.

Xia Zhi made a rough calculation. If she sprinted at fifteen seconds per hundred meters, allowing for the uncertainties of the elevator and pedestrians, she would need about ten minutes to reach the convenience store.

Searching for a winning ticket would take time, roughly ten to fifteen minutes.

In other words, she had to leave within five minutes, or she would miss this chance to strike it rich!

Xia Zhi wasn't going to tell Lu Heng. She couldn't make a sound anyway, so she prepared to slip away quietly. But someone seemed to have eyes on top of his head.

"Where are you going?"

Thinking fast, Xia Zhi hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote a line-

I have acute laryngitis and can't speak. I'm going to the pharmacy for medicine. Take your time eating. I'll be back soon.

How sincere.

How considerate.

How thoughtful.

Xia Zhi was almost moved to tears by her own thoughtfulness, but a certain pervert seemed utterly incapable of being understanding.

"Sit down and keep me company until I finish eating. Then go buy it."

Xia Zhi: "!!"

She was sick!

Wasn't this bastard far too inhuman?

Right, he was a damn pervert to begin with.

Xia Zhi sat down helplessly, but didn't dare let her gaze wander. She stared fixedly at the chopsticks in Lu Heng's hand.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Hurry up and pick it up.

Pick up some food, for heaven's sake!

Were you a turtle in your past life?

Xia Zhi wished she could snatch the chopsticks from Lu Heng's hand and stuff food into his mouth.

Her eyes were practically popping out from staring by the time Lu Heng leisurely took one small bite.

Xia Zhi clenched her fists, silently chanting, Murder is illegal. Murder is illegal.

Lu Heng ate with exceptional elegance. Every movement displayed his fine upbringing, and his extraordinarily handsome face was so attractive that it was hard to look away.

But how could Xia Zhi have any leisure to admire a handsome man right now?

Her mind was filled with red banknotes.

Three minutes. Only three minutes left.

Xia Zhi burned with anxiety, unable to sit still.

But at Lu Heng's eating speed, never mind finishing within three minutes-he might not finish even if he were given another three hours.

To hell with it.

Go.

Her million was waving to her.

Xia Zhi abruptly stood up. Without even bothering to say goodbye to Lu Heng, she took off running, but after just two steps, she felt a force holding her wrist back.

Looking down, she saw a particularly slender, beautiful hand gripping her tightly.

*??*

Was she seeing things?

Was this germophobic bastard grabbing her?

Didn't he hate touching other people more than anything?
