During these few days of leisure on the carriage, she thought things through carefully. She no longer wanted to be an assassin, controlled by others, living on the edge every day, constantly in danger of losing her life. The organization and Huo Jingsha were irrelevant to her. She only wanted to cherish this life and live a peaceful life. Perhaps she would be lucky enough to meet an honest man who would treat her well, and she would stay with him, becoming an ordinary wife, loving each other until old age.
Thinking about the promising future, she felt hopeful, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. Suddenly, Shu Yao felt a shrewd gaze on her. Being stared at like that was very uncomfortable. She looked up and met Qi's gaze directly. She was startled.
Shu Yao frowned, puzzled as to what the man was looking at. And this wasn't the first time he'd looked at her like that. Although he wasn't usually talkative, his gaze was always full of meaning, leaving her unable to decipher it. Her intuition told her it was best to stay away from him.
Thinking of this, Shu Yao suddenly had a strange feeling. Although there was a veil between them, Qi seemed to be able to see through the barrier, accurately grasp the position of her eyes, and then see into her heart through her eyes.
Perhaps she was overthinking things? She thought that because she had thoughts of betrayal, she became suspicious and wary of Qi, fearing that he would notice something amiss.
When the waiter led them to their room, You Shuyao realized that she was alone in her room, which was both unexpected and delightful.
Since leaving the Huo residence, she had been either hiding or fleeing for her life, and hadn't had a chance to clean herself. Finally, she had a bed to sleep in tonight, and what she needed most was a comfortable hot bath and a thorough cleaning from head to toe. She asked the waiter to boil a tub of water, placed a layer of oil-proof paper over her wound, removed all her clothes, and comfortably sat in the warm water. Wow… this was truly the best reward after days of running around. She soaked for a full half hour, until her skin was almost wrinkled, before washing her hair and drying herself, feeling indescribably refreshed.
After all, when she resumes her life on the run, who knows when she will be able to bathe and cleanse herself so freely and happily again.
Yes, she's trying to escape! And tonight is the perfect opportunity.
Inside the carriage, Qi had been by her side almost constantly, day and night. Even when she went to the toilet, female subordinates followed her closely. Now, she was finally alone in a room. There might be guards outside, but it was much better than the close surveillance she had received in the carriage. After tonight, they would set off again. She didn't know if she would have another chance to escape, so she had to make the most of the present moment.
However, she misjudged the situation and underestimated Che's caution.
After she cleaned herself up, dried her hair, and changed into new clothes, Qi actually entered the house.
She looked at him with surprise and suspicion, her whole body tense.
"What brings you here?" She thought he wanted to talk to her about something or ask her some questions, but to her surprise, he turned around, closed the door, and even picked out a chair to sit down casually.
"I'm staying here tonight." After saying that, he ignored her and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.
You Shuyao gritted her teeth inwardly as she watched his shameless behavior. It turned out he had only come to say hello, not to ask for her opinion.
It seems this man intends to spend the whole night with her in the same room? This is infuriating!
“If you want to spy on me, you can stand outside, or right under the window,” she suggested angrily.
To everyone's surprise, he remained unmoved, simply uttering a casual remark.
"It attracts too many mosquitoes, so it's not suitable!"
Rogue! Scoundrel! Pervert! Shit! She glared at him, mentally cursing him with every curse word she could think of, but he completely ignored her murderous gaze, clearly intending to sleep in that chair all night.
This guy has decided to keep a close eye on her! You Shuyao is certain that this guy probably sensed that she wanted to escape, so he plans to monitor her all night long. But she is helpless and can only clench her fists in anger.
She...she really underestimated him. This man is just like Huo Jingsha, suspicious and cunning!
In her anger, Shu Yao narrowed her eyes, a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind, and she revealed a cunning smile.
She swayed her hips and gracefully stepped forward, then plopped down on his lap.
Qi opened his eyes and looked at her calmly.
Shu Yao leaned against him gracefully, her voice soft and sweet as a soothing whisper: "The night is long, wouldn't it be a waste not to do something? You must be bored by yourself, how about we do something interesting... to pass the time, hmm?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to him, her breath brushing lightly against his neck like a feather, her beautiful eyes frequently sending him flirtatious glances, her gaze as brimming as flowing spring water.
Her soft, sweet voice was already captivating enough, and a small hand was restlessly rubbing his chest.
He stared at her, feeling the full, elastic texture of her breasts on his thighs, while the hands that kept darting around his chest were like playful butterflies, teasing his skin and tickling his heart.
The woman's body, freshly bathed, exuded a faint fragrance, mixed with the scent of herbal ingredients, creating a unique aura that lingered around the nose. From the inside out, she possessed an irresistible, alluring charm.
He stared at her for a while without moving, then slowly spoke.
"This trick doesn't seem to work. Why don't you try taking off your clothes?"
Remain calm and composed, as immovable as a mountain.
You Shuyao suppressed her charming smile, and her eyes turned from deliberate flattery to coldness, because she didn't notice at all that there was anything like lust in his eyes, only a deathly stillness.
"Hmph." She snorted, removed her arms from his neck, her expression changed, and she pulled away from him, all traces of her previous seductive charm gone.
"You blockhead, forget it if you don't want me." She turned around angrily and went back to the bed, put down the bed curtains to separate the two spaces, and fell asleep.
She must have been out of her mind to even think of seducing him. How could she forget... he was also a rigorously trained assassin, and male assassins undergo abstinence training. In the eyes of people like them, a woman's naked body is only distinguished by life or death, not by beauty or ugliness. Her idea of using her beauty to lure him into a trap and knock him unconscious was nothing but wishful thinking. Luckily, she stopped in time, or she would have been in a much more embarrassing situation.
You Shuyao was annoyed, but little did she know that after she turned around, the cold gaze behind her vanished without a trace, replaced by a restrained, suppressed, and controlled look.
Qi subtly adjusted his posture, tugging at the hem of his robe to conceal the erection that he couldn't suppress.
He was just too good at hiding his abilities, which is why she didn't notice. But he was also a man of flesh and blood, and now he had changed because of her.
You Shuyao knew there was a plague god sitting in the house, and she wouldn't be able to leave tonight, so she closed her eyes. She thought that having a big man in the house would make it hard for her to fall asleep, but to her surprise, she soon became sleepy and drifted off into a deep dream.
