He had been hanging there listlessly with his eyes closed, but as if sensing someone coming in, he slowly raised his head.
Just as You Shuyao was about to open her mouth to speak, Qi Mo silently pressed two acupoints, rendering her unable to speak or move.
Qi intimately embraced her waist, pulling her into his arms, one hand resting on her head, gently stroking her hair that hung down her back.
Huo Jingsha focused his previously unfocused vision, and when he could see clearly what was in front of him, the first thing he saw was... his woman being held in the arms of another man, the two of them intimately embracing each other. His eyes instantly flashed with a chilling light, his face as fierce as a demon crawling out of hell, staring straight ahead, wishing he could shoot several holes through the two people in front of him.
You Shuyao was extremely anxious, but she couldn't move, couldn't make a sound, and couldn't even control her facial features. She could only be like a puppet, at Qi's mercy.
"Let her go." Huo Jingsha warned in a deep voice, even though he was bound by ropes, he still exuded an aura of majesty and arrogance.
Qi sneered. "Hmph! You don't know yet, do you? We sent several assassins to meticulously plot many assassination attempts at the Huo residence, but we couldn't kill the renowned Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It seems that Shu Yao's honey trap was the most effective."
Huo Jingsha froze, his narrowed gaze growing even darker as he stared intently at the woman not far away, as if hoping to hear a negative answer from her. Unfortunately... the result disappointed him.
"Are you in cahoots?"
"That's right, and Shu Yao is also the most beautiful female assassin in our organization. Thanks to her, we were able to invite the cunning Lord Huo here."
You Shuyao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. If Qi hadn't been holding her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground, completely powerless. Her worst fears had come true…
She never imagined she would be exposed in such a shameful way. It felt like her already wounded heart had been stabbed again, bloodily ripped out. She wanted to struggle, but had no strength left, and knew that any further effort would be futile, because the goal she had been striving for had suddenly vanished.
Fate... how ironic you are! When she was reborn from despair, she was given endless hope and tasted the sweetness of being cherished and protected. However, when she was full of hope and wanted to live well, she was cruelly cut off all her thoughts and fell into an abyss of no return.
She didn't dare look at Huo Jingsha at all, but she could still feel his two sharp gazes fixed on her face.
He must be regretting it now, right? He risked so much danger to save her, even risking his life for her, only to be met with a cruel truth... The woman he cherished with all his heart was nothing more than a female assassin lurking by his side, plotting to take his life!
Even if she didn't actually kill him, to him, her identity as an assassin was a betrayal! And now, standing with Qi, is the greatest irony of what he once did for her.
"Shu Yao".
Huo Jingsha's soft call made You Shuyao's heart tremble. She finally raised her eyes and met his gaze tremblingly.
His face was like that of a demon from hell, extremely gloomy, and his fierce gaze seemed to be coated with deadly poison, stabbing viciously into her heart.
Shu Yao carefully savored this feeling and then realized that when her identity was exposed, she didn't feel fear, but heartache, an overwhelming heartache...
Yes, from then on, she would never see the tenderness in his eyes again, nor would she feel his doting affection as if he were treating a rare treasure. Her nine lifetimes of personal experience clearly told her that he hated betrayal, and the way he looked at her now was as if he were looking at a betrayer.
"Shu Yao, tell me, did you deliberately seduce me and then take the opportunity to kill me?"
No! No! It wasn't! From the moment she opened her eyes again, she decided not to repeat the same mistake! She wanted to deny it, to tell him that she had no choice and had not "deliberately seduced him" at all. If anyone was seducing someone, it was him who seduced her the most.
However... she could do nothing but stare wide-eyed, desperately trying to break through the acupoints. Perhaps her willpower worked, and her tongue overcame the soreness and numbness, and her throat actually produced a single sound.
"without……"
But before she could utter a single, indistinct word, a tyrannical shadow suddenly fell, instantly silencing her before she could speak further.
Without warning, Qi kissed her right in front of Huo Jingsha, giving her no chance to explain.
Shu Yao could only sob in pain, unable to cry out or struggle, passively enduring the kiss without any power to resist. To those around her, it would certainly seem that she was doing it willingly, deliberately allowing another man to touch her in front of Huo Jingsha to embarrass him.
After a deep kiss, Qi Xin chuckled softly, satisfied. "Good Shu Yao, you truly are my woman. You risked your life to infiltrate the Huo mansion for me. You've really gone through a lot."
Qi's gaze was surprisingly deep, fixed on him, her thumb lingeringly brushing against his lips again and again before pressing his lips to her eyebrows, nose, and cheeks, as if they were an inseparable couple.
His words plunged her into an abyss of no return, placing her in a position of hostility towards Huo Jingsha, from which she could never recover.
Now, she finally tasted the bitterness of being unable to defend herself!
You Shuyao was overwhelmed with grief, feeling her consciousness slowly slipping away, her whole body enveloped in numbness and despair. Huo Jingsha probably wished he could tear her to pieces. Imagine if it were her, betrayed by him like this, how much would she hate him? Therefore, Huo Jingsha's feelings are unimaginable.
Later, Shu Yao was half-dragged and half-pulled back to the house by Qi. Then, with a "bang," he slammed the door shut, turned around, and stared at her with a hint of smugness, only to find that there was only a lifeless look in her eyes.
