He seemed reluctant to mention that humiliating night, and his tone was full of disgust.

"It's because I like you!" Su Wan immediately retorted, "Although the way I like you is not right..."

"Drug me and torture me!" Lu Shiyan approached her, and the chill emanating from his body made her unable to breathe. "Miss Su's love is indeed extraordinary, and now there is a non-existent child to threaten me...

"It's not nothingness!" Su Wan shook her head desperately, tears finally rolling down her cheeks. "It's true! If you don't believe it... wait for a while, and you'll know!"

She knew that this statement was feeble and powerless, but in the absence of any evidence, she could only say this.

Lu Shiyan stared at her, his dark eyes filled with complex emotions. Her tears, the desperate tone in her voice, her body that was trying to be calm but still trembling...

All this seemed to be trying to prove her words.

But how could he believe it? How could he dare to believe it?

This woman had destroyed everything for him and turned him into what he is now. He wished he could drink her blood and eat her flesh!

"Time?" He repeated her word sarcastically. "Do you think I will give you time?"

He raised his hand, his fingertips feeling cold, and slowly reached towards her neck.

Su Wan's heartbeat almost stopped. The shadow of death completely enveloped her. She could feel the coldness coming from his fingertips, as if that hand would strangle her throat without hesitation in the next second.

"Lu Shiyan!" She screamed in despair, using up her last bit of strength, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, you'll never see your child again!"

Lu Shiyan's hand stopped just a few centimeters away from her neck.

His eyes fluctuated violently, as if he was engaged in a struggle between himself and himself.

He stared at Su Wan intently, trying to find a flaw or a hint of guilt on her face.

Su Wan met his gaze, and even though her whole body was trembling, she forced herself not to look away.

"And I've awakened my special powers." Her voice was trembling, but she spoke each word clearly. "It's a mess out there right now, with biting monsters everywhere, really..."

"I have space. I can be your walking warehouse in the future..." This is her last bargaining chip.

Lu Shiyan looked at her, the murderous intent in his eyes did not subside, but instead there was a hint of inquiry.

He leaned slightly closer to her, with an invisible sense of oppression.

"What a coincidence." He pulled the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile. "I also awakened a superpower today, it is lightning."

He spread out his palms, and a few tiny arcs of electricity jumped on his fingertips, making crackling sounds.

He really... awakened.

"What about yours?" Lu Shiyan retracted his hand, and the arc disappeared. "Space?"

He repeated, doubt evident in his tone.

"Show me."

Su Wan quickly conjured up a bottle of water out of thin air. "My space is very big!" His voice was trembling, but he tried to make every word clear. "It's really big, about... about a hundred cubic meters!"

He raised his hand and squeezed the bottle of water. A cool touch came from the bottle.

It's true.

"Space ability." He repeated softly, his eyes still full of doubt, "Do you really think that you can make me spare your life with this?"

Su Wan swallowed and said, "If you kill me now, you will regret it."

"Regret?" Lu Shiyan sneered, "You are very confident."

"I, I'm really pregnant!" Su Wan bit her lip and unconsciously protected her abdomen with both hands. "And space power is really important in the end times! I can help you store food, weapons, medicine..."

Lu Shiyan's eyes fell on her hands protecting her abdomen, and his expression froze slightly. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly reached out and held her chin, forcing her to look up and look at him.

"Listen carefully, Su Wan." His voice was low and dangerous. "I will never believe anything you say again. But if you are really pregnant, I will give you a chance to live - until the baby is born."

Su Wan's heart was beating like thunder, and she could only nod stiffly.

"As for your spatial ability..." Lu Shiyan slowly released her chin, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "From now on, it belongs to me."

Lu Shiyan stood up straight and looked down at her condescendingly, "The roles of prisoner and guard have been reversed. From tonight on, everything about you will be under my control."

His eyes slowly swept across the room, and finally fell back on Su Wan's face: "I will always monitor your every move. Your abilities, your so-called 'child' - they are all mine."

Then he turned around, without even glancing at her, and walked out of the room.

Outside the open door, the dim light from the corridor outlined his tall but cold back, which carried an air of chilliness that kept people at a distance.

It was not until the figure disappeared around the corner that Su Wan's tense body completely lost its support and slid down the wall to sit on the cold floor.

The sportswear on my back was completely soaked with cold sweat, sticking tightly to my skin, wet and cold.

She opened her mouth and breathed laboriously, her chest aching from the suffocation and fear just now.

Survived.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, it was overwhelmed by a deeper fear.

He let her go only because of that imaginary child.

A sudden sharp cry came from outside the window, interrupting Su Wan's thoughts.

This voice sounds like - Butler Lin?

Su Wan struggled to get up, her legs weak, and she staggered to the window and opened the curtains a little.

It was pitch black outside, with only a little light coming from the emergency light in front of the villa.

In the center of the courtyard, housekeeper Lin, who always stood straight with a stern face, was being dragged by Lu Shiyan by the back of his collar, like a chicken.

"How did you... come out of the basement!" Butler Lin struggled with his legs and kicked, almost unable to breathe, "Let me go! The young lady knows that you--"

"Miss?" Lu Shiyan's voice was chilling. "She is no longer qualified to give orders."

Su Wan held her breath and clutched the curtains tightly.

Butler Lin's face was distorted. He suddenly pulled out a small knife from his waist and stabbed Lu Shiyan with his backhand.

The voice stopped abruptly when she approached, and several servants lowered their heads, pretending nothing had happened. Only Aunt Zhang gave her a complicated look, with fear and a hint of sympathy.

Su Wan quickened her pace and returned to her room, locking the door, finally relaxing her tense nerves. She spread out her hands, her palms were full of sweat.

Two months. How could she make Lu Shiyan believe that she was pregnant?

Su Wan's heart almost stopped.

The tip of the knife was blocked by an invisible force one centimeter before it hit Lu Shiyan.

The next second, Steward Lin's entire body shook violently, and countless tiny electric currents jumped on his body, making crackling sounds.
