Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Puppet

Lu Suye...it's him.

The biting cold wind penetrates deep into the bone marrow, awakening the fear of low temperatures that is deeply rooted in human genes.

However, the fear brought to her by the man in front of her was far less than that which made her tremble even more.

He came.

Jiang Xi's lips trembled slightly. She was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word. She could only stand there as if frozen, allowing the other person's hands to knead and caress her frozen cheeks.

She was so scared.

Lu Suye thought about how Jiang Xi would react when she saw him again.

After all, from late autumn to midwinter, he had never given up looking for her, even though he had not shown up since leaving the woods outside Qingyuan's branch base that day.

The psychics who returned to the Paradise Guild were only a part of them. There were still many people watching nearby, paying attention to their every move.

So, this is why the blissful people caught up with them again so quickly.

However, compared to the initial surprise and hiding... they have accumulated rich experience in counter-reconnaissance, and have successfully escaped from large-scale roundups time and time again, making their opponents furious.

After winter came, there was no further news about the Paradise Guild, as if they had disappeared from this world without a trace.

During this period, the guild members thought of many ways, but those ways had little effect.

Until the unpopular and even somewhat vulgar way of "taking pictures of beautiful women and getting paid" was opened up their hidden hiding places, leaving them nowhere to hide in the sun.

No one would have thought that the president's wife and the vice president would hide in such a bitter and cold place?

A single photo cannot be used as complete evidence, as a person's facial features appear different from different angles. However, the surveillance footage of the resource trade exchange market not only captured Jiang Qian, but also the man next to her.

God knows how excited Lu Suye was when he saw their surveillance photos.

Similarly, the more excited he is, the more angry he will be.

But this anger was greatly reduced the moment he saw Jiang Qian.

He finally saw her again, and she was back with him...

Of course, with the help of a special item, his excitement quietly turned into an ecstasy that he could not suppress in his eyes.

He recognized the black metal object that his men handed him at a glance.

The trigger still had the faint scent of her fingers.

"You always carry this with you?"

The corners of Lu Suye's mouth rose slightly, and there was an inexplicable expectation in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Qian.

This was the pistol he gave her. She took it with her when she left the guild.

As for those precious gemstones, jewelry, and apocalyptic hard currency, they all lay in the drawer of the dresser, gathering dust...

Therefore, this pistol is the most important thing to her.

Putting aside the practical value of the gun, in Lu Suye's eyes, this was clearly evidence that she still had thoughts and love for him, even if it was only a trace.

She was still thinking about herself.

When I think of this, everything else seems to no longer be important.

He wanted to hear her reasons.

The thawing expression on Lu Suye's face and the gentleness in his voice inevitably gave Jiang Qian an illusion that was between illusion and reality.

It was this illusion that drove her to have the courage to take a gamble.

Jiang Xi ignored the gun and went straight to the root.

"Please let me go," she held her breath, her eyes earnest, "please let me go...we--"

"Do you think it's possible?" Lu Suye interrupted.

Jiang Xi: “…”

impossible.

How could he let her go?

He had spent nearly half a year manipulating the entire guild, all while everyone was focused on one thing. Including the resident psychics outside of the Bliss Guild's 200 members, nearly a thousand of them traveled across the continent, even sending people to Yanhua Continent across the ocean, fearing she might be missing her homeland. After all, she had once planned to go there with Xiao Liang...

After so much effort, so much hard work, manpower and material resources, finally, at the end of the world, in the polar circle on the edge of the map,

He found her.

Countless days and nights of painful torture, countless endless thoughts, longing and anger in my heart, can they be simply resolved by her letting me go?

"Let's go home."

Lu Suye put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms.

Her shoulders were so cold. Jiang Xi was only wearing a thin nightgown, and she felt like she was frozen.

But it doesn't matter, he will hold her and let her feel the warmth and heat of his chest.

Let her gradually recover in his arms.

"Home?" Jiang Xi still laughed to herself.

Being poured with a bucket of cold water by reality and in the biting cold north wind, Jiang Qian knew that she no longer needed to pretend in front of this man.

All disguises could not serve as a bridge to her freedom. The moment she was caught by him again, the inescapable fate had already strangled her throat.

The low temperature numbed Jiang Xi's body, but it could not numb her nerves. She knew clearly that rather than receiving warmth in this man's broad and hot arms, she would rather bury herself in the snow and die.

"Didn't you burn down my house?"

Looking up at Lu Suye, Jiang Xi's eyes were strange and cold.

This was an indifference that reached the extreme of hatred. She had no affection for him at all.

Not far behind him, flames shot up into the sky. In this fire, the crackling sound of burning destroyed everything in its path, making a hysterical scream and explosion that no one could hear.

It's in her heart.

That was where she had lived for a few months, and where she wanted to live her whole life: the bedroom where she slept every day, the dining room where she ate, her bathroom, the storage room filled with supplies and food, and the small vegetable garden where she had placed her hard work and beautiful aspirations for the future...

There, a large area of ​​high-quality vegetable seeds have just been planted!

Maybe, she once had some feelings for him.

But now, along with the destruction of this small house, it was burned down!

The thick smoke rose violently and condensed into blocks, turning into dust and drifting down, and a black rain fell in parts of the polar circle.

When the wind blows, nothing will be left.

"I have no home anymore."

Jiang Xi's eyes were empty, like a puppet with its soul drained out.

Speechless.

The woman in his arms was firmly under his control and could not move an inch.

But what he could control now was only her body. He could no longer touch her spirit and thoughts.

Although they were close at hand, they seemed to be far away from each other. She became a star in the sky on a summer night, which could not be reached by stretching out one's hands, and was within sight but out of reach.

The lost balance and the gap in his heart instantly engulfed Lu Suye and aroused the deepest fear in his heart.

The home she was talking about was the home she shared with another man, the home where they had spent countless nights together!

He had tried hard to forget what would happen to her during the time she was not with him, and what she would do with the man she was with all day and night.

He didn't dare to think about it, and forced himself not to think about it.

But why did she come to remind him again! ?

Did she really want to pull out his reverse scale alive? !

"Your home? Oh, it's your home."

It was indeed gone, burned cleanly.

Lu Suye smiled, but this time his smile had nothing to do with joy and happiness. "Are you and Jingcheng together?"

It's just nonsense.

The scene of her and Jingcheng kissing in public in the sunset, next to the corpse cave outside the Qingyuan Guild base, is still vivid in her mind.

World famous paintings.

"Are you asleep?"

His arms tightened, and Jiang Qian was held even tighter in this man's arms, her entire body almost pressed against his chest.

Her ear was right next to his lips, so the reason why half of her face was hot and red was not only the man's blatant intrusion into her privacy without any sense of boundaries, but also his hot breath.

Jiang Xi clenched her teeth and said nothing.

"Tell me about it,"

The more she avoided and escaped, the less likely Lu Suye would let her go. Now that Pandora's box had been opened, it could never be closed again.

The poisonous flowers watered by jealousy and revenge bloomed, and the pungent and dangerous smell that permeated the entire world had already made him lose his mind.

"How many times have you done this? Huh?"

He pinched Jiang Xi's chin, with suppressed madness in his eyes, pouring out from a torn little mouth.

"Do you do it every night? Or during the day as well?"

It’s winter now, so there aren’t any other entertainment activities, right?

"Lu Suye!!"

Jiang Qian couldn't bear it any longer. She tried her best to push the chest of the man who was holding her tightly. Unfortunately, not only did she fail to push him away, but her wrists were grabbed by the man and he used two fingers to punch her into the cage.

Therefore, she was forced to face this malicious gaze in this posture without any hiding.

Look, there are still two dark red fingerprints on the tender cheek, which were squeezed hard without any mercy.

These eyes, filled with water, are so innocent and pitiful... and at the same time, so familiar.

But it was precisely her appearance, like a weak little white flower who had been severely bullied by him, that made him most angry! !

"Don't tell me you didn't do anything?"

This time, he wronged her again?

ridiculous.

As a man, I understand men best.

Why did Jingcheng take her away while he was away? Why did he betray the guild and himself for her?!

Their friendship of life and death for so many years is still not as important as a woman!

However, considering that this woman is Jiang Xi, it is still reasonable.

There is no such thing as giving without expecting anything in return. He knows Jingcheng very well, and he knows the brother he grew up with...

Jingcheng will not do anything that has no benefit.

At the same time, he also knew Jiang Xi very well, or as he thought he did.

How could he not know what kind of woman she was?

"Jiang Jiang?" Lu Suye called her name, urging her to answer.

But Jiang Qian just bit her lower lip, her eyes red, and she silently shed salty tears.

How should she answer? How can she answer?

How could she brazenly discuss such a thing with this shameless man in front of so many people?!

Even if she could, she no longer needed her self-respect and face as a human being, so how should she answer?

Nothing happened between her and Jingcheng, so is there nothing between them?

Or have they done everything except taking that final step of "cheating" that no man can tolerate?

As for her self-affirmation, it doesn’t matter whether Lu Suye believes it or not. Who does he think he is? Why should she explain to him?

And her denial of such things was tantamount to showing her position and attitude. During the hundreds of days and nights she spent with Jingcheng, she was "clean and self-disciplined".

She has never been touched by another man...

So, Lu Suye is her last man? She won't make love with any other man except him?

Bullshit!

She liked Jingcheng. Her desire and longing for him was much stronger than the pleasure she once felt when she was half-forced to gasp for breath under the man in front of her.

But he doesn't deserve to know the truth!

Jiang Qian stubbornly ignored Lu Suye's rude questioning, but in the eyes of the injured and bleeding beast, this disregard was irrefutable evidence that its territory and property had been violated!

Silence means that she has no way to refute it, which is equivalent to acquiescence.

So, this is the truth?

“I knew it…!”

Unable to suppress his jealousy and hatred any longer, Lu Suye began to go crazy. He lost his mind and recklessly exposed the darkest side of his heart to the only woman he loved without reservation.

"A slut like you, once you set your sights on a new target, you must be eager to use your body, which I have already played with, to tie them up?!"

It was like stabbing a sharp knife straight into her heart.

In an instant, the whistling wind stopped.

In Jiang Xi's ears, only Lu Suye's almost accusatory words echoed, "Facts"?

However, her first reaction to hearing such harsh words was sadness, the emotion that kept boiling in her heart.

He humiliated her, and he humiliated her again...

On her first night with him, he had retaliated for her disobedience with such harsh words.

She was clearly a prostitute. The day before, she was still clinging to another man, screaming wantonly...

Now that I'm here with him, should I pretend to be so pure and innocent?

Why reject him?!

After the previous man left, she would immediately turn her attention to the next one, which was her best trick.

Hearing such vulgar words again from the mouth of the man in front of her, Jiang Qian understood that, in his eyes, she had always been this kind of person.

It turns out that he has never changed.

In the rainstorm on that autumn night, the false appearance of deep affection that he had carefully carved with tears was shattered into dust in that second.

He has always been himself, a man who has no respect for himself from the bottom of his heart.

After seeing through Lu Suye's true nature and underlying personality, Jiang Qian was no longer sad. It was not worth it to feel sad for what such a person thought of her.

She stammered, but tears fell first.

Emotions are on the verge of collapse and out of control.

She didn't want to cry.

But in an instant, more tears fell like balls with broken strings, hitting the bent fingers of her fist one by one, flowing through the gaps between her fingers into her palm, moist and warm.

"Yes, you're right," Jiang Ying's soft voice was trembling.

It's because of the cold.

From this perspective, Lu Suye’s words are not wrong.

What she had been doing, even though it was a helpless act for survival, she didn't have much choice, but the muddy stains splashed on the gradually withering moral canvas could never be washed away.

Jiang Xi: "I am the shameless, lowly woman you are talking about."

She did not deny it, her tone was calm, and she even smiled after she finished speaking.

Lu Suye: "..."

This still sweet smile made him shudder.

Jiang Qian, who was overwhelmed by the smile, should have shown anger and sorrow at his words, but she never showed a trace of it on her face from beginning to end.

Not only her heart, but also her emotions were beyond his expectations.

In fact, now is the beginning of the real breakup.

"Jiang Jiang..." Lu Suye suddenly panicked and wanted to apologize anxiously.

Jiang Qian continued slowly, but she hadn't finished her words yet.

"It's just a pity that in this world,"

The expression was slightly regretful.

"Not all men are like you, male dogs who are always in estrus."

Turned into mockery,

"I just hook my finger and it will be hooked."

provocative.

…

The world was dead silent, like an uncolored gray mold.

Behind Lu Suye, the group of elite psychics he brought with him stood like minions.

They witnessed the entire process of the "quarrel" between the president and his wife. Such explosive content and high topic value made people almost feel suffocated.

But they dared not even breathe a little louder, let alone speak passionately.

For fear of being discovered, they were still present and listened to the entire process, including what they should and shouldn't have heard.

Lu Suye: "..."

Heh, calling him a male dog. Yeah, he's in heat.

But it didn't seem much different from the accusation he had just made against her, a battle of magic.

It's just a matter of reciprocity.

However, Lu Suye still wanted to give Jiang Qian a chance. He could pretend not to hear her comments about him.

Letting go of her twisted wrists, Lu Suye grabbed her shoulders and leaned over to warn her in a low voice, "I advise you to be careful with your words... Don't be so arrogant. Aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that I like you?"

Don't get angry with him, or it will make things awkward for everyone!

However, for someone who has already given up hope, the deterrent effect of these warnings is almost zero.

Now that things have come to this, she will never see the light of day again for the rest of her life and can only linger in the dark cage of Paradise Valley.

What's the point of living?

"Lu Suye," Jiang Qian said,

"That question, I think I can finally answer you now."

Staring at the red eyes of the man in front of her, she spoke each word very seriously.

"You know what? I don't love you."

"I've never loved you either."

Lu Suye: "..."

After the huge bang in the brain, there is a stress-induced defensive counterattack.

"Of course you don't love me."

He spoke very quickly, fearing that if he was a little late, he would not have such an opportunity.

"Because you, a woman, have no heart, you can't love anyone!!"

He frantically interpreted this sentence, trying to make amends for himself and put a circle around his one-sided love that seemed to be sentenced to death today.

"Yeah?"

It seemed as if she still felt that this man, who had been driven crazy by her at this moment, was not crazy enough.

Jiang Xi's voice is soft.

"But I love Xiao Liang, that's why I made love with him... You heard it with your own ears."

"I love Jingcheng too... He is the man I love most in my life."

"I love them, that's why I want to be with them... forever."

"Even Si Mu and the president of the Qingyuan Guild are more worthy of my love than you!"

"I love many people, but I just don't love you. What should I do?"

Jiang Qian frowned and made a face as if she was about to vomit.

"Every time I make love with you, I feel extremely painful and disgusting!!"

"Well--"

The breathing passage was cut off, oxygen could not enter her body, swirling in her throat, and an endless feeling of suffocation swept over her.

She was mentally prepared for her neck to be strangled.

This was the first time he had committed physical violence against her that had nothing to do with any sexual interest.

He wanted to kill her.

Well, please use a little more force and strangle her to death, okay?

Jiang Xi couldn't wait any longer.

But Lu Suye's hand only stayed on her neck for two seconds.

Turning around, the increasing panic in his anger made him feel helpless. He had no choice but to roar loudly to pretend to be powerful.

"Bring that bastard here!!!"
