The moment he touched her, the man suddenly looked up. He clenched his teeth, his face fierce, his eyes wide, and his pupils contracted and expanded at an extraordinary speed, a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, he controlled it quickly this time. There was no bulging or bleeding. After a few rounds, under his strong control, his pupil size quickly returned to normal.
He threw away his knife and fork, making a crisp sound with his foot, and then quickly reached out and grabbed Su Yuxi's wrist tightly.
Su Yuxi was startled by the sudden action. Before she could react, the man forcefully pulled her into his arms and made her sit firmly on his lap. His head rested on her shoulder, his left hand was tightly wrapped around her waist, and his other hand held her head down, imprisoning her completely.
Su Yuxi's heartstrings snapped suddenly. She reflexively raised her hands and pressed them against his shoulders, letting out a series of panicked screams as she struggled and twisted wildly to break free of his restraints.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, you scoundrel."
The two were so close together, their bodies tightly intertwined, that she had very little room to maneuver. Coupled with the disparity in strength between men and women, she couldn't break free no matter what she did.
"Don't yell, let me hug you."
Fu Huaijin's vision was blurry. Whenever an attack occurred, he would experience temporary blindness. After the attack, his vision would be as clear as a mirror. However, during the transition, he was always in darkness. He felt insecure. In the past, no one dared to approach him. He could only endure it alone until the darkness completely consumed him.
With her by his side, his vision was only slightly blurred, and he could see things clearly. He was no longer facing darkness. Although his body still ached, holding her made the surging pain disappear.
Fearing she wouldn't agree, he quickly added, "I'll give you the money, just don't shout."
Su Yuxi stiffened, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of hesitation rising in her heart as she recalled his generous check…
All right.
It's no big deal to give a hug; it won't cost you anything. Besides, meat is 30 yuan a pound these days.
Seeing that she wasn't struggling, Fu Huaijin knew she had agreed, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, his tense heart relaxing as a result.
He slowly tilted his head and gently sniffed her delicate neck twice. He smelled that comforting scent, like the fresh blood flowing in her arteries.
Su Yuxi was startled by his hot breath coming from his nose, and a layer of fine goosebumps rose on her skin, making her very uncomfortable.
She turned her head and bumped his chin with her shoulder, then began to show resistance again: "Don't move around, or I won't let you hug me."
She's not a casual person. If you're captivated by her charm, you might consider it. That way, she can legitimately tell her friends: "I'm also someone who can seduce men to give me money."
"Are you done yet?" Sitting in one position for too long is making my bones feel like they're going to break.
There's no such thing as an easy penny to earn in this world.
Fu Huaijin's chest was still heaving, but he had regained control of his overall condition.
"Give me three more minutes." His voice was husky yet gentle, drifting lightly into her ear, making her ears tingle and her ear tips turn a subtle red.
She would never admit that this man's voice was more pleasant than Lu Yunzhou's, nor would she admit that his breath was more pleasant when he was emotionally stable.
Su Yuxi idly twisted her fingers, silently counting in her mind until the long three minutes ended. This time, without any hesitation, she broke free from his grasp.
He didn't force her to stay and let go of her as he pleased.
Su Yuxi straightened up, fanned her face vigorously with her small hands, exhaled a heavy breath, glanced at the man uncomfortably, and awkwardly sat back down in her seat. Looking at the food that was still mostly left on the table, she had lost her appetite.
Fu Huaijin was very quiet at this moment. He lowered his head and ran his hands through his long hair, which slipped out from between his fingers. His aura was particularly low, and a faint melancholy permeated the air, an indescribable sorrow.
She didn't dare to disturb them, so she just sat quietly beside them.
He was contemplating life, while she was wondering what was going on with the money she was supposed to receive, and why she was so silent.
Just as she was getting impatient, Fu Huaijin finally decided on his future path.
He slowly raised his head, his deep and sharp eyes fixed on Su Yuxi's beautiful face. His frail aura had completely changed, and his previously gentle voice had become cold: "Want to eat more?"
"If you're not going to eat, go upstairs and rest first."
Despite the oppressive aura emanating from him, Su Yuxi picked up her chopsticks and poked at the rice in her bowl. She wanted to jump up and point her finger at him, yelling at him, wondering if he was planning to kick her while she was down.
But now he... Heh, she asked timidly in a low voice, "You just said you'd give me money...."
"Let's finalize this. I'm afraid you'll forget about it as soon as you turn your back. We have to be honest kids, right?"
Don't accuse her of being materialistic; she let you get a good deal, so of course she wants her money back.
Fu Huaijin remembered. Others might not have been able to open their mouths, but this little money-grubber was different.
How much do you want?
Su Yuxi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and thought seriously for a moment. She settled on a number in her mind, held up one finger, and slowly said, "One hundred thousand?"
Fu Huaijin's cold and handsome features were slightly raised, and his dark eyes, half-hidden under his eyelids, shot out a beast-like cold light. This silent light sent chills down her spine, and she shivered involuntarily, leaving a few drops of cold sweat on the back of her head.
The price he quoted was a bit high, but he didn't tell her beforehand, which startled her. Adding some compensation for emotional distress would be reasonable, wouldn't it?
If you think it's too high, how about lowering it a little more?
"If all else fails, how about 80,000 yuan?"
The person on the other side remained unmoved.
Su Yuxi's face scrunched up. She bit her lower lip, hardened her heart, and held up five fingers: "At least fifty thousand, no less."
"Do you know how terrifying you looked just now? Besides taking advantage of me, you also have to compensate me for my emotional distress."
She couldn't let herself suffer a loss.
If she had any more objections, she wouldn't let him hug her anymore.
Fu Huaijin remained silent, his strange gaze sweeping over her from head to toe. Just as she was about to explode in anger, he finally spoke: "I'll give you one million. You'll come out with me tonight."
One million, a trip abroad. Su Yuxi was stunned by these messages. As if she had thought of something, she tightly covered her clothes with her hands and looked at him with a look of horror: "What do you want to do? I am a respectable girl. Don't try to force me to do anything that would make me sell myself."
