Shen Zhaozhao's head was buzzing, and she even fell into deep self-doubt.
However, just as she began to seriously reflect on where she had gone wrong in her acting, Xie Linyuan, who had disappeared for less than three seconds, suddenly turned back.
It was still that handsome face that could freeze someone to death, but his eyes were even redder than before, glistening with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice, yet he still insisted on maintaining that last bit of his faltering, aloof demeanor.
It has to be said that Xie Linyuan always has a way of making people feel sorry for him. Shen Zhaozhao doesn't even know what she did wrong, but she just feels that she must have done something wrong, otherwise why would she be so sad?
However, before Shen Zhaozhao could be bewitched by the beauty before her and allow the conscience that had long been buried in her heart to grow again, Xie Linyuan had already completely broken down.
He seemed to have finally broken down, his voice choked with sobs, tears welling in his eyes, staring intently at her: "You can't even... be bothered to comfort me?"
Shen Zhaozhao: "..."
Shen Zhaozhao felt that she was probably already dead, otherwise how could she hear such nonsense?
Then I thought again, no, it should be Xie Linyuan who died, otherwise how could he, with that aloof and noble face that seemed untouched by worldly affairs, utter such nonsense?
Well, well, this is truly a script that's like a home invasion robbery, completely unreasonable.
Shen Zhaozhao sighed. Fine, since the sugar daddy has spoken, although she wasn't good at coaxing people in her past life, she was good at teasing dogs.
Anyway, they should all be about the same.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhaozhao generously stretched out her paw and hooked it onto Xie Linyuan's slightly cool fingers. She even deliberately scratched his palm twice, tilted her head and looked at him from bottom to top for a while, and then began to say shamelessly: "Baby, you're overthinking it. I only have you in my heart, no other dogs... people."
"!"
Xie Linyuan's mind went completely blank, with only the earth-shattering "Baby" echoing wildly, making his ears turn bright red instantly, almost to the point of bleeding.
She...she really did coax him?
Still using this... this sticky, soft term?
An indescribable surge of heat, mixed with immense shame and secret ecstasy, suddenly coursed through Xie Linyuan's body, causing his fingertips to tremble uncontrollably.
He barely managed to maintain his aloof and cold demeanor by exhausting all his willpower; only his violently heaving chest and unnaturally red earlobes betrayed his true feelings.
Yes.
Who doesn't have a past they don't want to tell others?
Since she has softened her stance and even... even called him that, and explained herself to him, if he still clings to it, he will appear petty and lacking in manners.
Thinking of this, Xie Linyuan lowered his long eyelashes slightly, silently allowing that restless paw to continue holding him, just as he decided to temporarily turn the page on that absurdity—
wrong.
Xie Linyuan was suddenly taken aback.
The gesture, the tone, the familiar intimacy...
Was she like this when she was coaxing that person?
Is it also like this... effortlessly?
How many times had she tried to coax that person like this?!
Looking at him now, speaking softly and gently, is what's reflected in his eyes him, or is he looking through him at that damned, nonsensical bastard?
The bitterness and stinging that had just been suppressed instantly surged back with even greater ferocity, drowning out the slight elation that had just risen in Xie Linyuan's heart.
The man recoiled as if burned, abruptly pulling his hand away and turning his face away. His aura suddenly turned cold, as if the person who had just been blushing and secretly delighted was not him.
Shen Zhaozhao's palm suddenly felt empty. Looking at the other person's instantly distant back, her pupils dilated in shock.
no? ? ?
Weren't we almost calmed down just now?
This feel, this responsiveness, it's clearly very enjoyable!
Why did it suddenly explode again?!
What new script have they given her this time?!
Her emotions shifted faster than turning the pages of a book. If this were in her original world, Xie Linyuan would have made her a movie star!
However, just as Shen Zhaozhao was mentally ranting and trying to decode her sugar daddy's latest demands, the door was suddenly flung open, and Murong Xiao burst in with a loud, boisterous voice and thumping footsteps—
"Senior sister! This is amazing news! My damn dad suddenly sent a message saying my brother doesn't need to hunt down that otherworldly demon anymore! Does that mean my brother is safe for now—Holy crap?!"
Murong Xiao's excited shouts came to an abrupt halt. He stared at the man in the room who should absolutely not be there, a man exuding a low-pressure, cold aura, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Your Excellency?!
What are you doing here, sir?!?!
Could it be... because Senior Sister Zhao Zhao flaunted his jade pendant and made those arrogant remarks, that he personally came to hunt down Senior Sister?!
Seriously? This guy is so petty!
Xie Linyuan's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he didn't even bother to lift them up to look at the person.
He could sense Murong Xiao's boisterous aura from a distance, but he was preoccupied with the absurdity of being someone else's substitute, so the slightest noise did not interest him at all.
Having already been warned to keep his mouth shut, this fool can do whatever he wants. He didn't even have the energy to find an excuse to escape, so he simply stood there in despair, exuding a chilling aura of dejection.
Moreover, having just learned that the old bastard Haotian actually dared to act in secret, he personally went back to the Nine Heavens and coldly pushed back the "kill order".
Haotian had never dared to act presumptuously in front of him, which is why Murong Xiao received the message at this moment.
