The result is naturally impossible.
I don't believe she's so nonchalantly fine.
He extended his long, slender fingers and gently placed them on the tip of her delicate chin, lifting her face up.
Their eyes met in the air, exploding with an unidentified force. He released her chin, then brushed her hand away, revealing the ugly mark.
Fu Huaijin's expression was indifferent, devoid of emotion, but his breathing became heavier, a dark glint flashed in the corner of his eye, and his cool fingers gently caressed the mark a few times.
Su Yuxi didn't know what he wanted to do. Looking into those eyes, she forgot to struggle. Her back tensed up involuntarily, and an inexplicable feeling crept into her heart, a tingling, numb sensation that was very strange.
"Poison?" he uttered a single word softly.
She was immediately brought back to her senses and realized what he was doing. She immediately leaned back, trying to get away from his touch.
The man was very displeased with her avoidance; his expression suddenly darkened, and his large hand gripped her slender waist.
This sudden intimate embrace left Su Yuxi stunned, her mind blank, her heart pounding like a thunderclap, echoing in the quiet room, and a strange sense of panic welling up inside her.
"Fu Huaijin, what... what are you trying to do?"
Her beautiful eyes were misty with tears. Her small hands gripped the large hand on her waist. Her legs trembled slightly for some reason. His hands were large, and his fingers were digging right into her lumbar spine. If he used any force, her waist would break.
This man is dangerous; he poses a constant threat to his life.
Fu Huaijin narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows furrowed, his sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through the deepest corners of her heart and see the fear she was hiding: "Are you afraid of me?"
"No, no..." No, not at all.
With his current strong physique, he posed no threat to her at all, but his touch and gaze just now reminded her of the night he imprisoned her, and the fear that rose from the bottom of her heart is still unforgettable.
Thinking about this, she realized that she didn't need to be afraid of him at all.
I fell asleep and became so confused.
In an instant, she turned the tables, forcefully pried his hands apart, snorted coldly, and crouched down to step under his arm, widening the distance between them.
What are you doing here?
The man stood silently outside the bathroom, his demeanor strange and unsettling, clearly harboring ill intentions towards her.
She curled her lip in disgust and tightened her clothes.
Fu Huaijin gently clenched his hands, then slowly lowered them, turned around, and naturally placed his hands behind his back. His posture contained a hint of arrogance and aloofness, but his pale face added a touch of vulnerability.
"I came to see you." He made no attempt to hide his purpose, stating it so openly. To be precise, he came over the very night she returned, but after calling her several times without waking her, he simply left her there to sleep.
When I returned from going out in the morning and found that she wasn't in the living room, I followed the scent to the guest room on the second floor and happened to run into her coming out.
Su Yuxi paused in her hand that was scratching her hair, her gaze shifting back and forth over him, mixed with a hint of confusion. Mainly, she didn't seem to have met him many times, and they weren't particularly close. Given her status, she couldn't possibly get such a powerful figure to come and see her!
That sounds really strange.
Although I don't know what he's up to, it's obviously not a good time to expose him right now.
"Oh, now that you've finished watching, can you leave?"
Fu Huaijin remained motionless, like a silent sculpture, and his sense of oppression returned because of her dismissive attitude.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, and no one took the initiative to break the silence.
It wasn't until someone pushed the door open that the air seemed to circulate immediately.
"You're awake."
When Chu Juan pushed open the door, he saw the two separated by an invisible Chu-Han boundary. One had a gloomy face, his displeasure evident, while the other had an indifferent expression, his whole body filled with defensiveness.
When his gaze fell on the dark mark on Su Yuxi's face, his eyes froze. He took a few steps to stand in front of her, stared at her face, and frowned: "What happened to your face?"
Seeing that someone was criticizing her face again, Su Yuxi covered her face and turned away, unwilling to discuss the topic: "I'm fine, you took all my medicine?"
What she cares about most is her medicinal herbs. Each of those plants can sell for a lot of money, and if she loses even one, she will suffer a huge loss.
"Yes, they're all with me." Chu Juan answered her question with a forced smile, but his gaze remained fixed on her face. Her originally fair complexion was now inexplicably tinged with darkness, which not only ruined her original beauty but also made him more afraid that it might cause health problems.
He reached out to remove her hand so he could get a better look, but Su Yuxi was already on guard. When he reached out, she immediately took two steps back to avoid his touch.
"Don't touch her." One by one, they all wanted to touch her face. When she was beautiful, no one touched her, but now that she's become ugly, their curiosity has been piqued.
That's really wrong.
Doesn't she have any shame? They're all trying to provoke her.
Chu Juan also felt that he had been too abrupt, so he withdrew his hand and felt extremely regretful.
After returning that day, he was overwhelmed by the drugs. Even though he knew she had just come out of that den of poisonous insects, he forgot to examine her and let her sleep soundly.
I only came to check on her after seeing her wake up on the security camera today.
"I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
Su Yuxi didn't understand why he apologized, and she was too lazy to care. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing."
"When are you going to transfer my money?" She was so worried because the money hadn't arrived in her account.
"Do you want those medicinal herbs I brought back? If you're interested, give me a price, and if it's reasonable, I'll just sell them to you directly, saving me a lot of trouble." Besides, we're acquaintances, so it should be easier to negotiate the price.
Chu Juan's brows relaxed slightly. He had come here today to discuss this matter with her, and if she was willing, then things would be much easier.
"Okay, I'll have someone appraise the value of that batch of medicinal herbs later, and I'll transfer the money to you then."
Su Yuxi's sullen face instantly broke into a big smile; this is great.
"good."
"You'd better be sure to estimate correctly. I went through a lot of trouble to get these medicines." The mountain wind was biting in the jungle, and the climate was cold and damp. By the time night came, she was shivering from the cold. If it weren't for earning a few measly coins, why would she have to suffer like that?
She originally wanted to visit her neighbors, but after searching the entire hillside, she couldn't even find her own house.
Ah Zu is going too far. Several years have passed, and she still won't let her go back to visit her relatives.
snort.
Chu Juan couldn't help but chuckle at her greedy little face: "Of course, this batch of medicine of yours is of superior quality, and the price I'll give you will only be more, not less."
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
After they finished talking, Fu Huaijin slowly stepped in front of them, his eyes fixed on the mark on Su Yuxi's face, and said in a commanding tone, "Take a look at what kind of poison she was given."
