"She just fainted."
In the darkness, Shen Qianxue spoke in a deep voice, her tone filled with suppressed emotion, "You knew I was coming all along."
So, I deliberately acted intimately with him.
Su Jinxia slightly raised her head, looked directly into Shen Qianxue's eyes, and said coldly, "I don't know."
A flash of anger crossed Shen Qianxue's eyes; she actually denied it.
"With your alertness, if Su Hu faints, you would immediately track the enemy's location instead of crouching down to check his injuries without any precautions."
Su Jinxia kept a straight face and dismissively retorted, "That depends on the situation. If it's someone you care about a lot, you wouldn't think about so many things. You would definitely be concerned about his injuries first."
"You!" Shen Qianxue clenched her fists, her heart feeling as if it were being tormented on fire. "You're deliberately trying to provoke me!"
He explained, "I have imprisoned Yang Jiaoruo, and she will never appear in front of you again."
"I don't care anymore," Su Jin said, lowering her head indifferently. Then she lifted one of Su Hu's arms to help him up.
The autumn rain is still falling, drizzling down.
Su Hu was really big, and Su Jin struggled to carry him on her back to the room.
Suddenly, she felt a lightness on her back; Su Hu had left Su Jin and was now resting on Shen Qianxue's shoulder.
Shen Qianxue placed Su Hu under the eaves, where the rain wouldn't reach him, then looked intently at Su Jinxia, "Let's talk."
"There's nothing more to talk about. I told you, you don't need to come again," Su Jin said expressionlessly, then walked back into her room.
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth and followed him into the room.
The candlelight illuminated the room, and Shen Qianxue finally saw Su Jinxia's appearance clearly.
More than a year later, she has changed a lot.
Her graceful figure became even taller and slimmer, her eyes were cold and sharp, and she exuded the oppressive aura of someone in a superior position. Her cheeks also became thinner, losing their former chubbyness and becoming more angular, with an outstanding profile.
While she is even more stunning, she has lost her former soft and cute charm.
Time really does change a lot of things.
After Su Jin entered the room, she didn't look at Chen Qianxue. Instead, she closed the map on the table, adopting a defensive posture.
Shen Qianxue felt another pang of pain in her heart.
"If you're angry with me because of Yang Jiaoruo, I can explain. I'm angry because..."
"No need," Su Jin interrupted Shen Qianxue's explanation. "I don't want to know. It's not important to me anymore."
unimportant?
"Is even I unimportant now? You said you would like many people, but only love one person. Are you going to break your promise?" Shen Qianxue choked up, her eyes filled with humility and helplessness.
But Su Jin didn't look at him.
Su Jin walked to the window, looked at the deep darkness outside, raised her head, and said disdainfully, "It's not that I broke my promise, but I wasn't sincere at the time either. I was just saying it casually."
Shen Qianxue froze, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
"What's the meaning?"
Su Jin took a deep breath and impatiently stated her meaning, "What I mean is, I have never loved you. I was only nice to you because I wanted to use you to get the withered wood. I've been entangled with you until now only to use you to deal with Zhou Ji. But you are really difficult to deal with and stupid. I don't want to put up with you anymore."
As she spoke, Su Jinxia showed a hint of anger.
"Zhou Ji and Nie Qingyi colluded to use Mai Zizi against me. More than a year has passed, and you haven't found out anything. Zhou Ji suffers from a heart ailment. He knows that the Glazed Blood can save him, so he wants to use my parents to blackmail me. Hmph, what a dream. Unfortunately, Zhou Ji only has a stupid and clumsy person like Yang Jiaoruo as his subordinate!"
"Yang Jiaoruo is nothing but a knife. I will kill her if I can, and it doesn't matter if I can't. I don't care about her. One day, my Zhuang army will rule the whole world. When that happens, it will be easy for me to make anyone die!"
Su Jin sighed, shook her head, and looked disappointed.
"Back then, I released Nie Qingyi intending for her to go to Zhou Ji, to incite Zhou Ji's greed and make him turn against me. Zhou Ji did indeed fall for it, making frequent moves. But I didn't expect you to be so useless. Almost two years have passed, and you haven't noticed Zhou Ji's cruelty at all, and you're still loyal to him. I'm really disappointed in you. Perhaps Zhou Ji is more important to you than me. If that's the case, you're no longer of any use to me. From today onwards, we'll go our separate ways and have no further involvement."
Su Jin spoke these words very quickly, as if she had been prepared all along, dragging herself and Zhou Ji into the pit together, with no one escaping unscathed!
However, these words were like knives, stabbing deeply into Shen Qianxue's heart.
"Look at me." Shen Qianxue's voice was even deeper, carrying a hint of terrifying danger.
Su Jin turned her head away, her tone nonchalant and indifferent, "I don't want to look at you. All you're doing is rebuking me with those innocent, affectionate eyes. Since I've done all this, I'm not afraid of being hated by you. Go ahead and..."
Suddenly, Su Jin was grabbed by the arm and pulled in front of Shen Qianxue, forced to look him in the eye.
"I don't believe a single word you just said."
Shen Qianxue's eyes were bloodshot, and she fell into Su Jinxia's eyes and heart.
Su Jin clenched her hands tightly behind her back, trying to suppress her bitter feelings and appear calm.
Believe it or not, it's up to you.
"If it's really as you say, and everything is just exploitation, then why have you been using your own blood to nourish Zizi's body?" Shen Qianxue stared into Su Jinxia's eyes and questioned her sharply.
Su Jin gritted her teeth and spat out cold words, "Naturally, you wanted to distance yourself from me, so you investigated Nie Qingyi and Zhou Ji. But who knew that after all I've done, you'd do nothing..."
"Then why did you ask Shen Xi to keep this a secret?" Shen Qianxue pressed aggressively.
Su Jin's chest heaved slightly. "How was I supposed to know that he would actually hide it when I told him to? When has he ever listened to me like that? Lu Ming too, he didn't discover the problem for more than half a year. It's infuriating! None of them are any good!"
Su Jin angrily avoided Shen Qianxue's gaze.
Shen Qianxue reached out and pinched Su Jin's chin, forcing her to look at her. "But what is your motive? You have gone to great lengths to do all this in order to deal with Zhou Ji. But why do you have to deal with Zhou Ji? What are your difficulties? Why are you unwilling to tell me!"
Shen Qianxue's eyes revealed deep sorrow. "I admit, you always make me trust you. I'm conflicted. You and Zhou Ji are both very important people to me, but have you ever thought that you've never trusted me? What is the purpose of your actions? You won't tell me anything!"
"You said you'd tell me if I won, but how can I bear to go against you? How can I possibly beat you?"
Shen Qianxue's eyes were filled with a faint glimmer of water, and her voice was hoarse, filled with deep affection.
Even after Su Jin put it that way, he still didn't believe it!
That's just how he is. He's too sentimental. Once he trusts someone, he'll stick with them to the end and trust them wholeheartedly!
He treated Su Jinxia this way, and he treated Zhou Ji the same way.
