Lin Xiao's face was gloomy. He ignored Wan Qianqian, walked straight past her, and walked firmly to the right side of the car.

He stood outside the car window, his sharp eyes fixed on Su Yuxi's delicate face, his cold voice sending chills down one's spine: "Get out of the car."

"Lin Xiao, you bastard, talk to your sister with a better attitude." Wan Qianqian walked over and kicked him in the stomach in a fit of anger.

The kick sent a considerable shockwave through the air, indicating a great deal of force. Yet, the man seemed oblivious, accepting the blow without changing his expression.

Su Yuxi glanced through the window at the fierce-looking man, a few questions popping into her mind. Apart from seeing this man the day she arrived, the two of them had never had any contact. Sometimes when she ran into him, he would turn his head and leave, as if she were some kind of bad luck.

What's wrong with them now?

He stormed over like a powder keg, inexplicably taking his anger out on her.

She frowned slightly, rolled down the car window, and said in a soft tone, tinged with impatience, "What do you want?"

She had previously thought that since this was Qianqian's man, they would see each other more often in the future. Their relationship didn't have to be particularly good, but at least they shouldn't become enemies, so as not to make things difficult for Qianqian in the future.

But since the other person looked like they were about to skin her alive, even with her good temper, she couldn't put on a nice face.

Lin Xiao pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and tried her best to suppress her irritation: "Get out of the car, I'll take you to see Fu Huaijin."

"What? Isn't he out on business? Where can I see him?" She had just video-chatted with Fu Huaijin last night, saying that he had to go out for a few days and couldn't come back, but they could video-chat every day, so it wasn't like he was abandoning her here and ignoring her.

There were no restrictions on her comings and goings, but they secretly sent many people to protect them when they went out.

Lin Xiao moved his lips, his throat burning with dryness, and his eyes seemed to hold something he was wary of, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

Seeing Su Yuxi's growing impatience, he took a deep breath and suppressed his reservations: "No..."

Su Yuxi: "?"

“Ah Jin wasn’t outside; she’s been here the whole time.”

...

Su Yuxi was taken by Lin Xiao to a house hidden deep underground.

The two stood on either side of the elevator, separated by a dividing line.

The elevator was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound was the hum of the machine running.

Su Yuxi kept a tense expression, feeling a vague sense of panic and unease, as if something bad was waiting for him ahead.

If this man is avoiding her like this, what if he dies right after their marriage? How will she get her money from him then?

She looked up at the numbers on the elevator, counting down the seconds in her mind. It was only the fourth floor, so why did time seem to be passing so slowly?

The moment the complaint ended, a "ding" sounded in my ear, indicating that the floor had been reached.

Lin Xiao walked out first, followed closely by Su Yuxi. They walked through an empty corridor and took an elevator. This time, instead of getting out, Lin Xiao grabbed Su Yuxi and pushed her out.

Su Yuxi was caught off guard and stumbled. She turned around angrily and glared at him: "Are you sick? You have a mouth but can't speak?"

Her response was the sound of the elevator doors closing.

Su Yuxi was left behind, furious.

It's infuriating! I need to talk to Qianqian about it tonight. We should find a time to put this man in a sack. He's too arrogant. We need to teach him a lesson with our fists.

After cursing the man in her mind, she continued walking cautiously inside without stopping. The further she went, the stronger the smell of disinfectant became.

This is undoubtedly another research lab.

Su Yuxi entered the spacious and bright living room, her gaze wandering over the surrounding furnishings. There was nothing particularly special about it; it was just ordinary furnishings. The only difference was that it was filled with Fu Huaijin's aura.

This man really is hiding in this place where the sun never shines.

As she walked closer, she noticed a door that was ajar.

She composed herself slightly and walked over quietly. Through the narrow crack in the door, she could see someone sitting at a computer desk, the bright white light shining on their silver hair, making it even more dazzling.

Fu Huaijin's expression was serious, his pupils reflecting the flickering light. He was completely absorbed in the documents, so much so that he didn't even notice anything unusual when she pushed open the door.

After pushing open the door, Su Yuxi could see everything inside more clearly, and what caught her eye the most were her hands resting on the keyboard.

Those hands that don't belong to humans.

It has turned into a beast.

Is that why he's hiding away and doesn't want to see anyone?

Is it because you're afraid to look at her?

After all, what can be more real than recording something in a diary and experiencing it firsthand?

Su Yuxi didn't go in immediately. She stood at the door and watched quietly, waiting to see when the people inside would notice.

Perhaps because his gaze was too focused, the man buried in front of the computer screen finally reacted.

Fu Huaijin paused in his typing, his eyes seemingly fixed on the computer screen, but his mind had already wandered to the doorway.

He had always wanted to hide it and escape from being discovered by others, but now he had been betrayed by his own brother, who brought him here. This was tantamount to revealing his ugly side to the person he liked, leaving him with no last bit of pretense.

For a moment, he couldn't find the right emotions to face this sudden change.

I even wanted to rush to the door and leave immediately.

Su Yuxi exhaled slightly, knocked on the door twice, and tried to force a smile, but felt that this was not the right occasion to smile.

She suppressed the slight upturn of her lips and slowly walked inside.

As she approached, the man sitting on the stool tensed up, his perfect muscle lines subtly revealed beneath his t-shirt, exuding a sexy charisma.

Su Yuxi walked to his side and stopped. Her gaze was gentle, without any fear or discrimination. She looked at everything in front of her as if it were no different from usual.

Fu Huaijin still didn't dare to look up at her, and even forgot to hide his strange arm in his panic.

Su Yuxi raised her hand, wanting to touch his hand to tell him that she wasn't afraid at all and didn't need to hide from him, but thinking of the man's sensitive pride, she lowered her hand. She had prepared many comforting words in her heart, but in the end, they all turned into just a few words: "Are you... alright?"

Her voice was steady, without revealing a trace of fear.

Hearing her voice, Fu Huaijin's dazed thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and he crossed his arms as if startled.

When his gaze fell upon those hands, he was terrified and hid them under the table, not wanting anyone to see them.

His Adam's apple bobbed dryly, his breathing slightly heavy: "Who... this is not a place for you, you should go back first."
