Shen Xiaoxiao did not know how much effort she had put in to suppress the fear and horror in her heart. She turned around hastily, unwilling to let the man not far away see anything wrong.
However, no matter how well she disguised herself, the moment Long Xi opened its mouth, her suddenly pale face and the slightly trembling look on her hands, no matter how well she concealed herself, still betrayed her.
She was afraid.
This was Long Xi’s first reaction.
She was running away.
This was Long Xi’s second reaction after she turned around.
These two reactions were enough to prove that the two of them were indeed together last night, and even had s*x. But the key point was that Long Xi actually did not have any reaction at all, and did not have any memory at all. Why was this?
Shen Xiaoxiao was not a casual woman. It was rumored that she and Yan Kuan were inexplicably in love. Although he did not believe it, he could see that Shen Xiaoxiao definitely had Yan Kuan in her heart, and it was an extremely important position.
However, ever since the last time he had a feeling that he had done it with Shen Xiaoxiao, this time when such a thing happened again, Shen Xiaoxiao’s reaction was too strange. It was too strange.
What was she hiding from? Or was she afraid of something?
What on earth was it?
He quickly got off the bed and walked a few steps in front of Shen Xiaoxiao. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him. The two of them faced each other. He stared at Shen Xiaoxiao, forcing her to look at him.
After watching Shen Xiaoxiao struggle, dodge, get angry, and even almost attack him, she slowly calmed down. She looked up again, and her eyes became cold again, without a trace of emotion. It was the same as the many times he had seen her before. What was going on?
“Is this how Boss Long treats the benefactor who took care of you for one night?” Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were cold, but Long Xi’s heart was inexplicably moved when he heard them.
“Took care of me for one night? I really want to know how Xiaoxiao took care of me. Why don’t you help me recall my memories, Xiaoxiao?”
After saying that, Long Xi leaned down and wanted to kiss her lips, but not only did Shen Xiaoxiao turn her head to avoid him, she also attacked her with her fists without any restraint.
Long Xi had no choice but to take a step back. She was so resistant to even letting him kiss her, and the way she looked at him became colder and colder. Then, what was going on with that girl who must have had s*x with him last night?
“Long Xi, are you forcing me to make a move on you?”
Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s serious look and smiled after a long while. He let go of Shen Xiaoxiao’s wrist and said indifferently,?“I’ve taken care of Xiaoxiao a few times. This time, we’ll call it even.”
Seeing Long Xi return to his usual cold look, Shen Xiaoxiao became more and more flustered, but she still said without showing it on her face, “That’s for the best. As for last night’s topic, we’ll talk about it another time.”
“Sure, but no matter how we talk about it, I still hope that Xiaoxiao will think about my suggestion. After all, it’s better to work with me to find out about the Shen family’s fund than to work with outsiders, right? At least, I’ve never had any ill intentions towards Xiaoxiao.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s footsteps were slow as she walked out because every word he said seemed so torturous. It was completely different from what he had said to Dark 1 last night. He was really not Yan Kuan. No, it should be. He really could not remember.
A Long Xi in the day and Yan Kuan at night. Could it really be like this?
...
As he watched Shen Xiaoxiao leave, Long Xi looked at his right hand thoughtfully. Her pulse was beating so fast, which meant that she was panicking in her heart. However, that woman didn’t show it on her face at all. What exactly was she afraid of? Or was she running away from something?
Long Xi touched the top of his head. Could it be that he had done something that he didn’t know he had done after he had fainted?
He turned around and took out a camera from the corner of the bed.
He turned on the computer, and the screen was pitch-black. There was no effect at all, but he could hear the exclusive murmurs clearly. The decadent sounds were so clear. The growls of men, the coquettishness of women... and she even said that nothing had happened?
But why did Shen Xiaoxiao not admit it? Why?
And himself. Did he really have a split personality? Did he not know what he was doing at night? Did he not know who he was anymore?
...
“Grandpa.”
“Have you recovered?”
“It’s nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa.”
“You have to know how much risk I have to take to bring you back to the country. This time, you have to be obedient and act smart on your own. I won’t care about our 20-plus years of grandfather-grandson relationship.”
“I understand. I know what to do. Grandpa, don’t worry.”
Pei Dongguo looked at the skinny and pale grandson in front of him. Who would have thought that the Young Master Pei Li, who was once in the prime of his life, would end up in such a pitiful state?
If it weren’t for the fact that he was indispensable to the plan, Pei Dongguo wouldn’t have called this embarrassing grandson back to the country.
Liu Yufei saw that the grandfather and grandson were barely able to maintain their calm, so she stepped forward and interjected. She asked Pei Dongguo, “Grandpa, did Grandma Lin really tell us that we can open the Shen family’s fund in a month? Does that mean that as long as we create trouble for Shen Xiaoxiao and make her worry about those things, we can cut off her finger and get the ring, and we can get the antidote?”
“Yes. As long as you do well and do as you are told, you will be able to remove the Suoyin Flower Tears on your body. and Pei Li, that thing of yours will also be able to grow back.”
Liu Yufei did not know when it started, but something was wrong with her body. She started to feel an unbearable itch. Only later did she realize that this was the poison of the Suoyin flower. This was the true poison of the Suoyin flower. As time went on... The more men she touched, the more her skin started to fester. Other than her lower body and her face, which could still be seen, the rest of her skin was not intact.
She did not expect the person in black, Grandma Lin, to be waiting for her here. No wonder she did not attack Dongyou Country after the incident. It turned out that this was the reason.
Now, as long as she caused trouble for Shen Xiaoxiao, she could think of a way to cut off her finger and get her ring. Then, she would become an ordinary person again. Of course, she was willing to do it.
Pei Li was the same. After that thing was cut off, only the person in black had the ability to grow back. Therefore, in order to save his life, he pretended to be dumb for so long and stayed in a mental hospital overseas. He was almost tortured into a real lunatic. All of this was caused by Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan. He wanted revenge. He had to take revenge.
Moreover, he had followed the person in black for so long, so he could be considered to know some things. In fact, he knew more than Pei Dongguo. The secret inheritance fund of the Shen family was a treasure after all. The things inside would not only allow him to reappear in his prime... Even if he was immortal, it was possible for time and space to be reversed. He would wait.. He would wait patiently, until he became the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
