But... wait a minute! He clearly touched her in his past life, and in almost every life, she used all her cunning to seduce and entice him, finally managing to get him into bed. She thought she could successfully control him, but unexpectedly, he always killed her without mercy.
The memory brought back the pain in her heart. He had so many ways of taking advantage of her, and afterwards, so many ways of killing her, leaving her unable to rest in peace even in death, remembering that agonizing pain even after nine lifetimes.
"If I'm not the one you want, why did you take me, sir!" she blurted out angrily.
The question naturally referred to the grudges and entanglements of her previous lives. For a moment, she forgot that in this life, she was still a virgin who had not let him succeed.
"Fool, don't you understand? I want to touch you because I like you."
"Your Excellency is talking nonsense! If you really had feelings for me, why would you..." Shu Yao suddenly stopped speaking, realizing that she was still a virgin in this life, and she almost let slip what she was saying.
"What did I do to you?" Huo Jingsha frowned, noticing something was off in her tone, and asked suspiciously.
She inwardly cried out that something was wrong. She was so indignant that she almost said the wrong thing. When she saw the surprise on Huo Jingsha's face, she immediately became alert and had to think of an excuse to get away with it.
She was most afraid of him becoming suspicious. Once a man becomes suspicious, he will always dig deep and won't give up until he finds out something. If he knew what she was thinking, he would skin her alive.
“You’ve sent me to the outer courtyard…” She lowered her head, quickly made up a reason, and pretended to be aggrieved, refusing to look at him.
She had intended to use her aggrieved and resentful demeanor to conceal her true feelings, but her emotions had been too intense just now. However, in Huo Jingsha's eyes, it appeared as a sign of her deep affection.
So that's what bothered her. No wonder she'd been refusing to let him touch her ever since she was injured by the knife. She was naturally beautiful, with a pair of alluring eyes. When she looked at him with such a pitiful expression... it was truly captivating, and her pitiful appearance instantly aroused his desire to cherish and protect her.
"I promise I won't let you leave my side again." Huo Jingsha passionately opened his lips and kissed her earlobe, teasing and sucking it, causing Shu Yao to tremble slightly.
This time she didn't refuse, and realized that her tone was like she was flirting with him. If she struggled too much now, it would only make him suspicious again, so she decided to indulge him this time and give him a little treat.
Huo Jingsha was overjoyed to see her head bowed, nestled obediently in his arms, no longer throwing a tantrum and pushing him away as before. The longer he spent with this girl, the clearer he became of her stubbornness. Despite her humble origins, she had always remained chaste and virtuous, her character even more noble than some daughters of wealthy families.
Moreover, last time she tried to be nice to him in the study, only to be cruelly rejected and driven away from him, it's understandable that she might resent him. So it's understandable that she might act like a spoiled girl and stubbornly refuse to give in easily again.
If she hadn't risked her life to save him time and time again, he wouldn't have known that she was actually a woman of strong character, willing to protect him with her delicate body, and that he would never take her affection lightly.
This is the kind of woman he truly wants. From now on, he will pamper her and never let her suffer any grievances.
"Good Yao'er, I promise this will never happen again. As for your abduction, once I find the traitor, I can avenge you and prevent future troubles."
"An inside traitor?" Shu Yao's heart skipped a beat.
"To be able to abduct you from my residence without the knowledge of any of the overt or covert guards, without anyone noticing, would be absolutely impossible without inside help. Therefore, I am certain that there must be a spy hiding in the shadows."
He was right! This man's strength should not be underestimated!
You Shuyao was extremely uneasy, yet secretly admiring him. Huo Jingsha was incredibly meticulous; from the moment she escaped the manor, he guessed there was a traitor within. And she was one of those traitors. He didn't suspect her because he didn't know she knew martial arts, so he assumed there was another traitor hiding in the manor.
As her thoughts raced, a sudden tingling sensation ran down her neck, causing her skin to break out in a rash. It turned out that his lips were sucking and nibbling at the skin on her neck, while his unruly hand had already moved to one side of her chest, gently kneading it.
Shu Yao closed her eyes, knowing that she shouldn't pour cold water on him now. It would be good for her to soften her stance at the right time, especially since she wanted to get some information about the traitor out of him.
“People are still scared. They don’t know where this spy is hiding. What if…” She hesitated, pretending to be still shaken, hoping he would reveal some inside information to comfort her.
"What are you afraid of? You should know my abilities. No matter where he hides, a net has been cast. If he dares to make any further moves, he will surely not be able to escape."
"Really? How powerful is the adult's internet to be so confident?"
She turned around, blinking her beautiful, curious eyes, looking at him with barely concealed excitement. Her bright pupils conveyed a hint of expectation, a hint of admiration, a touch of innocence, and a hint of worry, as if she were eager to know the result, rather than feeling apprehensive.
Shu Yao was subtly using her feminine advantages to seduce him. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Since he brought it up today, she couldn't let the opportunity slip by.
Huo Jingsha stared straight at her, his gaze unfathomable, as if testing her, and spoke in a low, husky voice, "You want to know?"
"Is it inconvenient for you to tell me, sir? Or are you deliberately deceiving me to put my mind at ease?" she retorted provocatively, a tone that usually ignites a man's competitive spirit.
"Hehe... If you really want to know, there's probably not enough time now. How about we chat slowly tonight..." His hands, which had been moving back and forth over her body, unknowingly reached her lower abdomen and were about to go further down.
That was already her bottom line, so Shu Yao quickly pressed down on that restless hand and said reproachfully, "You promised me that you wouldn't touch me until I'm fully recovered. Are you going to break your promise, sir?"
“I always keep my word. If I promise you something, I will definitely do it. However…” The large hand that was pinned down by her turned around and firmly enveloped her small hand, using brute force to pull her down. “I won’t touch you, but you can touch me as much as you want.”
His voice was even lower and hoarser, carrying a hint of unbearable urgency and impatience.
Upon realizing his intention, You Shuyao reflexively tried to pull her hand away, but he held on tightly and pressed it firmly against a certain part of her body, then his eyes darkened.
"Good Yao'er, I've endured long enough. Even if I don't indulge in women, I'm still a normal man. Besides, I've already fallen for you. With a beauty in my arms, even a saint would find it hard to remain unmoved! Please help me, okay? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself right now..." He coaxed her half to half to agree, his eyes flashing with lust, as if he would break his promise if she refused again.
