The curtains swayed gently, a breeze ruffled her hair, brushed her cheeks, and then returned to stillness.
Su Yuxi blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension: "Fu Huaijin, what did you see?"
She carefully observed the changes in his eyes, her heart pounding in her chest, fearing that something might go wrong again.
Fu Huaijin's eyes began to glaze over, his pupils constricted slightly, losing focus. It was unclear what he was seeing. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "It's very dark. I can't see anything."
Su Yuxi felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, thinking to herself, "Isn't this normal? No problem."
The incident last time should have been unrelated to her charms.
Fortunately, if even this didn't work, she would have been laughed to death by her sisters in the clan.
"Then let go of me and lie down to sleep."
Fu Huaijin obediently listened, got up and lay back in his seat, covering himself with the blanket.
Before he had even closed his eyes, he suddenly yanked the blanket off.
Su Yuxi turned over, about to ask a couple more questions, when she happened to meet Fu Huaijin's clear and questioning gaze.
He stared straight at her without saying a word, his gaze clear and sharp, not at all like someone who had been bewitched.
Su Yuxi's eyes trembled, and she slowly uttered a question from her throat: "What...are you looking at?"
All the sounds around seemed to have stopped.
Fu Huaijin stared intently at her with his dark eyes, not understanding why he was covering himself with the blanket and getting ready to sleep. He felt like he had forgotten some fragments of something, but he couldn't remember what it was: "What did you just do?"
This wasn't the first time he'd had this feeling. At first, he thought it might be the drugs causing him to be mentally confused, but looking at the slightly panicked woman, he had another guess.
Su Yuxi hadn't even processed how this man had suddenly broken free from the shackles of his charm, and now she was even starting to suspect that the problem lay with her.
She was secretly alarmed; this man was far too vigilant.
what to do?
Su Yuxi was in a state of panic, her thoughts twitching.
Fu Huaijin slowly sat up in bed, his brows furrowed with suspicion... Was the person in front of him hiding something from him?
Su Yuxi gave a slight twitch of her lips, and in her panic, she suddenly sat up, pinning him down and placing her hands nervously on his shoulders, feeling the burning heat emanating from under his skin.
There's only one way to stop him from thinking now: disrupt his train of thought.
Fu Huaijin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the next second he felt those jelly-like soft lips press against his, his nose filled with a scent that captivated him.
Her initiative did indeed confuse his mind.
Right now, he only has eyes for her and in his heart, and he has no idea what happened just now.
As Su Yuxi felt the hand, imbued with endless magic, climbing upwards little by little, her heart softened into a pool of gentle spring water.
The room temperature, which had been kept constant, suddenly rose, and even the dust particles floating in the air seemed to whisper. The lights also dimmed shyly, adding a touch of haziness to the night for the two of them.
The air in the room became increasingly turbulent with the moonlight, until dawn broke on the horizon and the night completely disappeared, at which point the small villa finally quieted down.
...
Su Yuxi didn't wake up until the sun had set.
She stared at the ceiling, utterly dejected. She had only wanted to check if there was anything wrong with her charm, but how did things turn out like this?
She raised her hand and gently rubbed her aching lower back. Her beautiful face contorted in pain as she cursed the damned man in her heart, thinking he looked like he hadn't seen a woman in eight hundred years.
Don't they say men only last a few minutes? Aren't they supposed to be infertile? How did this bastard manage to last all night?
Damn it, they should change the prescription of his medication and make him impotent.
Waaaaah... You're just bullying people.
Su Yuxi looked around with a pitiful expression. The man wasn't there, which made her even angrier. She reached around for her phone and finally found a cold one under her pillow. The screen lit up and showed several caring text messages from Fu Huaijin, simply telling her to text him when she woke up.
Su Yuxi was seething with anger, so she sent him a punching emoji. Why are we all human...?
No, why is he human and has such good stamina? I was so angry that I sent him a few more insults before angrily turning off the screen.
She had just turned off her phone for three seconds when suddenly she paused, quickly turned it back on, and pulled up the bank card SMS notification.
I confirmed that I wasn't seeing things, and that it was a real transfer.
She carefully counted the zeros one by one in the payment information. Were there eight zeros?
Count again.
She counted it over and over again, and finally confirmed it—it really was 1.2 billion…
"Oh my god..." Su Yuxi immediately sat up in shock, her back no longer aching and her legs no longer hurting.
Twelve billion—this astronomical figure exploded in her mind like a thunderclap. Who the hell gave her twelve billion?
She quickly calmed down; the number was too suggestive, easily leading people to speculate about who had made the payment.
Then her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She stared blankly at the phone number, watching it ring and hang up, then ring again, repeating this over and over. After five persistent attempts, Su Yuxi finally pressed the answer button.
"Hello." Her voice was still hoarse from waking up.
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end responded, "Xixi, it's me."
Su Yuxi immediately recognized him as Lu Yunzhou.
She had almost forgotten about this man after not having been in contact with him for so long.
"Xixi, don't hang up yet. I'm calling to apologize to you."
After waiting for three seconds and seeing that the call hadn't ended, the person on the other end continued, "I was out of my mind before and did a lot of terrible things. I'm sorry."
His voice was filled with an unprecedented sincerity; the threats and pleas he had made to himself in the past had vanished, as if he had genuinely realized his mistakes.
However, the damage has already been done, and no amount of sincere apology can erase the hurt and embarrassment suffered by the person involved at that time.
"Can you forgive me?" Lu Yunzhou asked cautiously and humbly, holding his breath as he awaited the reply from the other side.
Although the two were talking over a phone, a subtle tension inexplicably filled the air between them.
Su Yuxi pursed her lips and remained silent. If it weren't for the long string of zeros she was thinking about, she would have hung up the phone long ago.
After waiting a long time for Su Yuxi's reply, Lu Yunzhou laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's right, I did something so outrageous, how could I be forgiven with just a flimsy apology?"
He was being too unrealistic.
"I am not worthy of forgiveness, I'm sorry, Xixi."
"Consider that money my apology; I hope you'll accept it."
“Xi Xi…” Lu Yunzhou lowered his eyes and gripped the pen tightly in his hand. He longed to hear the voice of the person on the other side again, but he could not make a request.
"I heard you married Fu Huaijin."
