Chapter 53 She actually sprayed perfume

Si Tang pressed the back of his hand against the tip of his nose, wanting to say something to ease the awkwardness. He coughed lightly and said, "You really like watching idol dramas? Actually...it's nothing."

Fan Yi turned his head and looked at her seriously, "Really?"

The look was so serious, as if asking her to assure him again and again.

It seems that he...cares a lot about what she thinks?

This look... is so childish.

Si Tang nodded slightly, a smile flashing across his eyes, "Really."

Seeing that she looked fine and showed no dislike or disgust towards him, Fan Yi felt relieved and took the remote control beside him and switched the channel from Animal World to the Financial Channel.

In order to save his image, he repeated to her, "I was really just looking around."

"Yeah." Si Tang nodded in agreement.

“…”

Fan Yi was choked and speechless, so he had to turn his head to look at the TV screen. He watched the well-dressed host explaining the international economic trends, and he felt that it was just as boring as the prayers that humans had prayed to him every day for the past three thousand years.

...Not as interesting as those two humans kissing each other just now.

Fan Yi really couldn’t understand why Si Tang’s type of person would like to watch this kind of thing?

Si Tang sat down and listened carefully for a while.

Fan Yi's eyes were fixed on the TV, but he had already cleared his mind. All his attention was on Si Tang.

Is she having insomnia again? Is she having nightmares again? What did she dream about?

Fan Yi decided that after they got married, he would definitely enter her dream and take a good look.

"It seems like you didn't sleep well?" Fan Yi suddenly spoke.

Si Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. Some things were no longer secrets, so he spoke, "Three years ago, I was stranded on a deserted island after a shipwreck. I was later rescued, but I lost all my memories of the three months I spent on the island. Since then, I've had strange dreams every night."

"Strange dream?"

Si Tang couldn't bring himself to talk about those unspeakable scenes, so he just said hesitantly, "Well, dreams that disturb my sleep. But it doesn't matter, I'm already seeing a psychiatrist. He said those were all my fantasies..."

Fan Yi frowned tightly. It was rare for Si Tang to see such a sharp look on Mr. Fan Yi, who was known as a gentle gentleman.

Being awakened from a dream...Fan Yi certainly understood it to be a nightmare.

I became even more determined to check it out in my dreams next time.

"Come here." Fan Yi suddenly said softly, his brows relaxed and his expression returned to a gentle one.

Si Tang couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him out of curiosity.

Fan Yi touched the ice-blue diamond star crystal from the space, silently chanted the key, and a touch of ice-blue healing magic condensed at his fingertips. He lightly tapped Si Tang's forehead, and then pretended to press her solar plexus.

It was a fragment of the Lord God's artifact, the Cosmic Staff, which he could use with ease.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked softly, reluctantly letting go.

Si Tang looked at him in surprise.

Looking at it from such a close distance, this face looks like a snow lotus on an iceberg, with gentle and sparkling eyes.

Si Tang realized later that the feeling of fatigue on his body was swept away at once, and his body and mind became very light and relaxed.

"It's really much better." Si Tang said in surprise with her almond-shaped eyes curved.

"Go, have a good dream." Fan Yi smiled.

Si Tang nodded, "You should go to bed early too. Good night, Fan Yi."

She stood up lightly, and the hem of her pajamas lifted the man's wrist, bringing a burning sensation.

Fan Yi silently stared at the girl's back as she walked up the stairs easily. Si Tang, of course, couldn't see it. His gaze lost its gentleness and became fanatical and paranoid, determined to get her, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her.

-

The next day, because it was the date agreed with the He Group, Si Tang dressed more solemnly and formally.

A simply cut wrap dress paired with a white suit reveals straight, white calves, and high heels reveal a bit of the lazy elegance unique to women.

Her long black hair was tied up, revealing a small earring. Her makeup was light but she was naturally beautiful. Her lips, dyed with rose-colored matte lipstick, were particularly eye-catching.

As soon as she came downstairs, Fan Yi's eyes never left her.

A strong and vigilant intuition disturbed him.

Before he could call Si Tang for breakfast, he only smelled a cool, light woody aroma, and then heard the door open and close. The empty living room was left with only Si Tang's brisk voice.

"You guys eat first. You don't have to drop me off at Xingnian today. I have other plans."

The living room became audibly silent.

8856 had a stiff expression, not daring to look at the person at the main seat. He didn't even dare to take a second bite of the sandwich in his hand. He just chewed the food in his mouth twice and swallowed it.

The next second, a cold voice was heard.

"Eat, and eat more."

Fan Yi turned to look at 8856 with an expressionless face.

8856: ...What crime have I committed?

He put down the sandwich in his hand, crying. However, he probably knew why Fan Yi was angry, because this was the first time that Master Fan Yi had made breakfast by himself. He had spent the whole night in the kitchen studying it, unlike before when he had just used his divine power to fool around...

8856 felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he hated himself for not being able to be a dead object like the trident.

While he was thinking about how to escape from the scene quietly, he heard Lord Fan Yi suddenly speak in an inexplicable and cold tone.

"She actually wore perfume."

The research in the book shows that in human social interactions, if one wants to improve others' favorability and increase personal charm, spraying perfume is a useful little detail.

8856: "......"

He was still confused when he saw Lord Fan Yi suddenly jump up from his chair with a gloomy tone.

"Follow her."

......

Between water and clouds.

The light was hazy like a thin mist, and a few rice paper lanterns cast a soft, warm yellow glow, reflecting on the ink-wash patterns of the floor tiles, resembling the faint shadows of distant mountains. The faint scent of agarwood lingered in the air, making one breathe more lightly.

Behind a half-closed carved screen, Si Tang was already waiting at the seat by the window.

When He Chenzhou arrived, he saw the woman pouring tea with her head down. A thin stream of tea flowed out of the spout of the purple clay teapot, and the tea smoke curled up, blurring the woman's eyebrows and eyes that were like distant mountains.

When he sat down, Si Tang raised his eyes and smiled, then stood up to ask for instructions, his tone as gentle as pearls falling into a bowl.

"Mr. He, I've long heard of you. Please take a seat."

He Chenzhou curled the corners of his lips slightly, sat down without saying a word, and his calm and sharp eyes fell lightly on Si Tang.

While he was looking at Si Tang, Si Tang was also secretly looking at this big boss who was rumored to have great power in business and politics in the imperial capital.

The man was extremely handsome, with aggressive facial features and dark eyes that were bottomless, as calm as water, yet made people dare not look at him directly.

There is a sense of wild tension under the suit and tie, and the plain ring on the ring finger of the left hand reminds the owner that no strangers are allowed to enter.

The faint smile on his lips seemed to have the potential to kill someone.

"This year's Qingming Biluochun," Si Tang said calmly, frowning as he pushed a white porcelain teacup over. "Mr. He, please."

He Chenzhou took it and sipped it elegantly. His peripheral vision caught sight of the woman sitting upright and dignified.
