"You helped me so much, and then you hurt him so badly. Do you think Lian will remember your kindness or hate you?"
Xiao Tuo felt ice-cold all over, and quickly struggled excitedly: "You devil!"
Zuan pressed down on her flailing hands and said coldly, "You were the ones who plotted against me first. Who's the devil here?"
Xiao Tuo looked blank, as if she had lost all her strength, and started sobbing.
All her beliefs collapsed completely, and she realized then that what she had been holding onto all along was actually a joke.
But she paid the price for it, losing her innocence and happiness, and causing Lian's career to suffer a devastating blow.
The guy persisted, his devilish voice continuing to ring in my ears: "Once Lian realizes all this, the seed planted in his heart before we made contact will make him think that you and I developed feelings for each other, and then you betrayed him by teaming up with me to deceive him."
"No, no..." Xiao Tuo shook her head desperately, muttering to herself, but she knew how powerless her words were.
"Why are you telling me all this? Are you trying to humiliate me?" Xiao Tuo cried as she looked at him.
Zuan looked back at her and reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks: "Because I want you."
"You've already got me!" Xiao Tuo roared. He's been tormenting her in all sorts of positions every day, isn't he satisfied yet?
"No, not yet." Zuan shook his head.
Xiao Tuo was taken aback, her expression initially puzzled. After a while, she finally understood what the other person meant: not only did they want her body, but they also wanted her heart.
She sneered, "Do you think that's possible?"
Zuan said calmly, "If I hadn't sensed the changes in your attitude towards me during this time, and the struggle and hesitation you felt every time you sent out intelligence that you yourself were unaware of, I wouldn't have said so much to you."
Xiao Tu remained silent. Had she really been unaware of it all...?
Zuan then continued, "Why should you be sad for a guy who uses the body of the woman he loves to achieve his goal? You should know that besides love, you also have family and people from the Tuo Kingdom. Do you want them to be chopped into mincemeat and turned into human sacrifices because of you?"
"You really are a demon!" Xiao Tuo trembled all over.
Zuan shook his head: "I'm not saying this to threaten you. You know that many things are not up to the king alone. When the time comes to settle scores, the court officials will definitely settle scores with you, as well as your family and clan. It's not like I can just let it go. Otherwise, the country will be in chaos."
"I'm telling you all this now only to show you a way out. Only by becoming completely my person can I tell others that you've always been a spy I planted, so that you and your people can avoid that tragic end."
Seeing the blank look in her eyes, Zuan lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Xiao Tuo instinctively wanted to push him away, but stopped halfway through her outstretched hand.
Zuan smiled slightly, took her hand and intertwined their fingers, then carried her to the bed on the side.
Xiao Tuo's heart began to pound. Although they had been intimate many times during this period, she was extremely nervous now, even more so than the first night.
She knew the difference, and her heart was filled with contradiction and hesitation.
