She didn't know how much time had passed, but everything gradually calmed down. The exhausted woman had already fallen asleep in her beloved's arms. Only a slight smile played on her lips, radiating happiness.

The bright, clear moonlight streamed in through the window.

The man sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the woman's peaceful sleeping face and graceful figure, and felt as if he owned the whole world.

Huo Qingfeng never expected that Ruo Ke would remain a virgin! It wasn't that he didn't care about this issue, but he had to put it aside as soon as he fell in love with Ruo Ke, who had been married before.

At that moment, he was both surprised and delighted. He was also a typical man, so he was overjoyed to have the woman he loved completely possessed.

It was precisely because of this surprise that he, who originally only wanted it once, couldn't resist taking it from her again.

As if holding a precious jewel, he carried the sleeping Ruoke into the bathroom and carefully washed away the marks all over her body in the large bathtub.

Lying in bed, holding his beloved woman, Colonel Huo felt that his life was complete!

The night was deep. The pale moonlight shone on the windowsill, peeking at the two people sleeping in each other's arms. Then, blushing with embarrassment, they hid behind the dark clouds, refusing to come out again.

On the long journey of love, we finally met the right person in our lives and composed a romantic love song.

May our love flow gently together, and may we grow old together when all the splendor fades!

...

As Ling Ruoke slowly regained consciousness, she felt weak and sore all over.

"Qingfeng..." she whispered, slowly opening her eyes. All she saw was the ceiling and a magnificent crystal chandelier. Turning her head, she saw no one.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she sat bolt upright. She was stunned to realize—this…this wasn't her hotel? But wasn't she with Qingfeng? How could this be?

She threw back the covers and saw herself wearing her own pajamas, a conservative top and pants. She clutched her head, closed her eyes, and frowned. Was last night just a dream? But it felt so real, it couldn't be a dream!

No, that's not a dream! That's not a dream!

Ling Ruo refused to believe it was all a dream. She threw back the covers and got out of bed. But the moment she felt discomfort in her private parts, her bright eyes widened in shock. This wasn't a dream!

Close your eyes, and everything from last night will appear perfectly in your mind!

She opened her eyes with a smile. It wasn't a dream, it definitely wasn't a dream! But where was Qingfeng?

There was a knock on the door, followed by the howl of a wolf. "Get up if you're awake."

Ling Ruoke hurriedly opened the door and ran out. "I...how did I get back? Qing...where is he?"

The wolf glanced at her indifferently, then turned back to the television screen. "Go wash up and change your clothes; we're going back home."

Ling Ruoke opened her mouth to ask a question, but suddenly stopped herself. She remembered what Qingfeng had whispered in her ear last night before she fell asleep—

"Wife, wait for me."

...

Ling Ruoke suddenly realized something and stopped asking. Instead, she obediently went to the bathroom to wash up and change. Outside the window, the sky was blue and the clouds were white; the weather was very sunny.

Slowly, a smile appeared on her face. Qingfeng, I'm waiting for you to come home!

When she pushed open the door and came out, Wild Wolf grimaced unhappily. He'd had a dark expression on his face for so many days; finally, the sun was shining. Looking at her smile, he coldly said, "After so many days of dark clouds, the sun has finally broken through. Looks like being cooped up for too long really does take a toll on your mood."

Ling Ruoke sat down to eat her breakfast. She was in a good mood and didn't care what he said. Even if he stabbed her, she would smile and cover her wound, let alone speak coldly.

"Thank you," she said with a sweet smile.

The wolf glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget what I said when I came here."

Ling Ruoke quickly covered her mouth, adjusted her expression in her palm, and then ate her breakfast as if nothing had happened. But her eyes always held a smile.

Wild Wolf sighed helplessly. Luckily, she wasn't a soldier or a policeman; otherwise, with her skills, the criminal/perpetrator would have already figured everything out. What a stupid woman!

"Are we really going back right away? Have you finished taking care of everything?" Ling Ruoke swallowed a mouthful of breakfast and looked up at him, asking. She hadn't forgotten that he said he had something to take care of here.

The wolf raised an eyebrow. "Still reluctant to go back? Have you fallen in love with the openness here?"

Ling Ruoke was furious and decided to stop talking to him. Whatever he said, it was always sharp and cutting. Maybe he was a hedgehog in his past life!

The wolf didn't say anything more.

As Ling Ruoke put down her chopsticks, someone brought something to the wolf.

The wolf took it, didn't even glance at it, and slammed it down in front of her. "Eat it."

Ling Ruoke picked it up, puzzled, and opened the box. It looked like medicine, but it was all written in X language, none of which she recognized. She held it up to him and asked, "What is this?"

"Emergency contraceptive pills," he glanced at her and answered casually.

Ling Ruoke's eyes widened suddenly, and she stood up, staring at him in astonishment. "Birth control pills? W-why?" She was actually hoping to get pregnant with Qingfeng's child; she didn't want to take this pill!

"Why are you so excited? There's no reason, just eat it!" Wild Wolf frowned, his tone somewhat serious.

Ling Ruokan, used to his carefree and jovial manner, was startled, but still firmly refused: "I don't want to! I won't eat it, I won't eat it, I won't eat it!"

The wolf grinned bloodthirstyly, slowly rose to his feet, and approached her step by step. He pressed down on her shoulders, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget our deal."

Ling Ruoke shuddered, staring at him for a long time without saying a word. After a long while, she finally managed to move her lips. "Does it have to include this medicine? Can we change to something else?" Her eyes held a glimmer of hope.

The wolf, however, seemed oblivious, his face expressionless, his tone firm. "No." With that, he sat back down and continued eating.

Ling Ruoke almost cried because of his tone, and she barely managed to hold back. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then suddenly stopped. She knew that Wild Wolf hadn't gone too far; at least he hadn't touched her. These past few days, he had even been quite caring towards her, although he often said things that were infuriating.

Well, she should be content. At least she knows Qingfeng is still alive, and that he saw her and they had a passionate encounter.

As for the children, they'll still have them when Qingfeng comes back! Yes, that's right!

Ling Ruoke picked up the medicine on the table, tore it open, and swallowed it. "Is this okay?" She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt strange in her stomach as soon as she swallowed the medicine.

The wolf looked at her without saying a word. Seeing her angry expression, he chuckled. He never explained his actions; she would find out eventually.

Ling Ruoke seemed unable to forgive him, and angrily slammed the door and went into her room.

Wild Wolf couldn't help but laugh. This woman was becoming increasingly unafraid of him, slamming the door at the drop of a hat. She probably didn't know that those who dared to slam the door at him before her were already rotting away. And those who dared to slam the door at him after her would also face the same fate.

Come to think of it, this silly little woman made him break his rules many times.

...

My nerve-wracking trip to country X has finally come to an end.

Ling Ruoke sat in the plane, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, still unable to believe what she had recently experienced. Now that it was over, she realized it wasn't actually that difficult. Perhaps it was because Qingfeng was alive, and that was enough to overcome everything.

"What are you doing, laughing so lewdly?" A cold voice suddenly came from beside me.

Ling Ruoke was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. "You must have a very dark side, otherwise why would you always have such filthy thoughts?"

The wolf laughed heartily. "Isn't it normal for someone like me to have a dark side?" If he had a bright side, he'd be a monster.

Ling Ruoke was speechless. Yes, how could someone who had gone through such torment not have been left with psychological trauma? Thinking about it this way, she felt that all the hateful things this person had done could be forgiven.

"Wild wolf, have you ever hated?" People who have been hurt are easily filled with hatred.

The wolf looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Hate?"

"Yes, those who hurt you." After experiencing the pain of having his bones shattered, it's a miracle he didn't become psychologically twisted.

The wolf grinned and suddenly moved closer to her. "I never waste time on such boring things as hatred. I always use killing. So, if you're smart, don't mess with me." He made a snapping motion.

Ling Ruoke was startled and stared at him blankly, her face turning pale.

The wolf burst into laughter and patted her face. "Look at you, so timid, scared, huh? I was just kidding, silly girl."

Ling Ruoke paused for a moment before letting out a long sigh. "You scared me again, you're so mean!" But she knew in her heart that he wasn't joking.

However, she always had a gut feeling that this person wouldn't hurt her! Don't ask why, she didn't know either, but that's just how she felt!

"Who told you to be so stupid? If I don't scare you, who will I scare!" Looking at the quiet smile on her lips, the wolf felt a sense of peace in his heart as well.

Does he hate? He doesn't know, because he's used to solving problems with blood. Hatred is too exhausting; he doesn't want to waste his time and energy on it.

Ling Ruoke looked at him and genuinely felt that he wasn't a bad person. His gaze, though cunning, wasn't mostly sinister. She also had a feeling that Wild Wolf harbored someone deep within his heart. But occasionally, she could sense that he was looking through her at another woman!

Ling Ruoke did not confirm her guess with him, because she believed that it must be a wound that could not be touched, a wound that was too deep to be touched.

Slowly closing her eyes, Ling Ruoke relaxed and drifted off to sleep. She would never have nightmares again, and she would never be afraid again!

The wolf turned its head and looked at her peaceful sleeping face. Its gaze slowly deepened until it drifted away…

A few hours later, the plane landed in T city, where the city lights were just coming on.

During the descent, the city's prosperity could be seen in its entirety. Ling Ruoke couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The wolf curled its lip and said, "The more prosperous a place is, the dirtier and more twisted it is. What's so amazing about that?"

"No one is asking you to focus on its dirty and twisted side. What's important is that the world in your heart is normal and clean." Society always has a bad side. If you only think about its bad side, then you might as well not live and just commit suicide.

That's none of your business. As long as your heart is pure, that's all that matters.

He had heard almost the exact same words long, long ago. That person also had a serene and beautiful smile, and clear, unwavering eyes that could soothe the restlessness in his heart.

More than a decade has passed, so long that everything has become covered in dust. He dares not brush away that layer of dust to see the once vivid beauty.

As if to redeem him, Heaven brought this silly girl back into his life, stirring up memories of the past.

The wolf suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck, pulling her close. He closed his eyes and kissed her forehead.

They held on for a long time.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ling Ruoke was held firmly by him and couldn't get away at all.

Finally, as if he had kissed her enough, he let go of her and said with a mischievous smile, "Trying to take advantage of you, huh?"

"Shameless pervert!"

"..."

After leaving the airport, the car sped along the highway at breakneck speed.

"Am I going to live in hell from now on?" That sounds so awkward!

She imagined someone asking her where she lived, and her answer being "hell on earth," which would either terrify the person or make them think she was crazy.

"No, we'll live somewhere else. What, you want to live in hell?" Wild Wolf raised an eyebrow. He genuinely felt that such an environment wasn't suitable for her.

What a question!

Ling Ruoke hurriedly shook her head. "No, absolutely not!"

Seeing her panicked expression, the wolf chuckled softly. "So many people yearn for that place, hoping to set foot inside and see it in their lifetime."

That's true.

"That definitely doesn't include me!" However, she was grateful that there was a place where she could find the wolves.

“I know. If it includes you, then those who yearn for hell will no longer yearn for it.” The reason they want to go in and take a look is because it is hell, a fallen paradise.

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

"I am indeed praising you."

"..."

The car eventually headed towards the suburbs in another direction.

Fewer and fewer people live here, and the trees grow ever greener and more lush. A cool breeze blows, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Ling Ruoke leaned against the car window, letting the wind whip her slightly long hair into a wild frenzy. She squinted, watching the lush greenery rush past, a soothing sight for her eyes. "Hey, are we going to some kind of paradise?"

The wind shattered her words, and no one answered.

She was about to say it again when she turned her head and saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep. His gold-rimmed glasses were off, and those shrewd, cunning eyes were closed; his breathing was steady.

This was the first time Ling Ruoke had observed him so closely. He was said to be almost forty, but his face showed no sign of it; he looked to be only around thirty. His sleeping face was serene and harmless, like that of a refined scholar.

"Falling in love with me?" The man chuckled and suddenly opened his eyes.

Ling Ruoke couldn't avoid his gaze and awkwardly met his teasing eyes, her face immediately turning red. "Narcissist!"

"I have the right to be narcissistic, don't I?"

"I'd be a fool to even acknowledge you." Ling Ruoke decided she would never pay attention to this narcissist again!

So the wolf began to try all sorts of methods to get her attention and get her to speak, but all of them failed.

Ling Ruoke simply pursed her lips tightly and stared at him expressionlessly.

The wolf grinned, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and slowly looked her up and down.

Ling Ruoke felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her heart, realizing something was wrong!

The next second, the man's hand scratched her side.

Ling Ruoke immediately lost her composure, twisting her body left and right to dodge his hands, laughing out loud, almost unable to breathe.

"No! Stop it right now, stop scratching..."

The wolf quietly stopped, watching her laugh until tears streamed down her face. It was as if they were transported back to those joyful days. She was ticklish too, and whenever she got angry, he would use this trick on her. It never failed!

Ling Ruoke stopped smiling, and when she looked up, she met his complicated gaze—a gaze she couldn't decipher. However, she sensed a deep sadness within him. "Are you...are you alright?"

The wolf suddenly came to its senses, shook its head, and closed its eyes.

Ling Ruoke knew that she had inadvertently glimpsed his true feelings.

The car drove through a gate steeped in history until it stopped in front of an old house.

From the moment Ling Ruoke saw the door, her mouth never closed. Looking at the old European-style castle before her, her mouth was agape enough to fit a large egg. She had learned so many descriptive words, but now she couldn't use a single one; she simply couldn't describe the house before her.
