The corners of her mouth curled up helplessly, it was just something she expected.

In order to look no different from a human, Shangguan Qing's heartbeat and body temperature were disguised by using spiritual power.

What does it matter now? After the snake drank realgar wine, did it reveal its true form?

After a night, her body regained some strength. She propped herself up with her hands, sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes falling on the man lying on the sofa.

The red glow of the morning sun outside the window just happened to fall on Cheng Ji's face.

This picture is... quite beautiful.

“Ding ding ding!”

Cheng Ji's alarm clock suddenly rang. He held his forehead with one hand and subconsciously reached out to turn it off, but found that his hand was empty.

He frowned and opened his eyes suddenly, then realized that he was lying on the sofa and the bedside table was not next to him.

Shangguan Qing saw all his actions and smiled, "I'll turn it off for you."

Cheng Ji heard her voice and sat up, "How do you feel?"

Shangguan Qing replied, "Much better. Did you change my clothes? Never mind. I'm hungry. Let's eat."

"No..." Not him.

Before Cheng Ji had the chance to explain, Shangguan Qing had already walked out of the bedroom.

First floor restaurant.

The restaurant has a Western-style layout, with a three-meter-long square wooden dining table covered with a white tablecloth with lace edges and several decorative vases on it.

Qin Qianyue was sitting next to the top seat. Just a few minutes into her meal, she caught a glimpse of Shangguan Qing walking down from the corner of her eye.

Lost appetite instantly.

The servant brought out a medicinal meal from the kitchen, which was used to replenish the body.

"Miss Shangguan, this is specially prepared for you."

She sat down, looked down, and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Qin Qianyue pouted and looked at hers, then looked at her own century egg and lean meat porridge. The treatment was so different that she felt unbalanced in an instant.

She threw the spoon in her hand and it hit the ceramic bowl with a crisp and harsh sound.

He pointedly complained to the servants, "What's wrong with the flowers in the vases? They're wilting, but you still don't throw them away! Do you want to keep them at home and eat and drink for free?"

The servant who was unaware of the situation could not help but whispered, "Didn't she see me changing the flowers with her own eyes?"

The servant didn't understand, but if Shangguan Qing, who had lived for a thousand years, still couldn't understand, then she was immature.

Shangguan Qing continued to eat without changing his expression. When he had almost finished eating, he glanced at Qin Qianyue.

"Oh, sister, your brother was very tired last night. Please prepare some food for him to replenish his energy. After all, I don't know his taste yet. I'm sorry to bother you."

"You! What do you mean? You are so shameless!"

Qin Qianyue was so angry that the muscles on her face were twitching. It was the first time she saw someone so arrogant!

Especially since this woman actually dared to climb onto Cheng Ji’s bed!

Shangguan Qing saw that she was feeling uncomfortable, so he wiped his mouth and went upstairs contentedly.

Human beings are creatures that are good at picking on the weak. If you just accept it and don't fight back, you deserve to be bullied.

But Shangguan Qing is not someone who would just accept things passively.

......

Shangguan Qing pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and Cheng Ji had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He was wearing a navy blue silk nightgown and wiping his hair with a towel in his hand.

Under his wet hair are his three-dimensional facial features, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a sharp jawline, and a protruding Adam's apple with water droplets hanging from it, full of sexual tension.

Shangguan Qing was distracted for a moment.

Seeing her go upstairs so quickly, Cheng Ji asked, "Is the food not to your liking?"

"no."

She couldn't help but glance at his chest. He was wearing such a tight pajamas, and the V-neck was so shallow...

Shangguan Qing walked straight towards him with an irresistible domineering aura, which inexplicably gave him the illusion that she was going to eat him.

Cheng Ji was frightened by her behavior and staggered to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"what are you up to?"

He glanced around, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Give me the towel." Shangguan Qing stretched out his hand.

"Ah? Oh."

Cheng Ji handed it to her obediently. Shangguan Qing lifted his chin, bent down and wiped the water drops on his Adam's apple, and went all the way down.

Then, she ripped off his pajamas at lightning speed, and because of the belt, she stopped steadily at the waist.

The man's muscular upper body was exposed in the air.

The man was at the bottom and the woman was at the top, facing each other, and the air around them became ambiguous and hot.

Shangguan Qing's gaze stayed on his chest, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

There was no red spider lily pattern on his body except for his pectoral muscles that were heaving violently due to his accelerated heartbeat, and a black butterfly tattoo on his chest.

"Why not? Have you ever had a red spider lily birthmark on your chest before?"

Shangguan Qing anxiously went to him to verify.

Seeing her panic-stricken look, Cheng Ji also became nervous.

After two seconds of reaction, he shook his head and said, "No, I only got a tattoo on my chest when I was sixteen."

Because sixteen was the year when Cheng Ji's last family member left him.

From then on, he had to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly, and move forward alone.

Shangguan Qing was unwilling to believe what she heard. Even though Cheng Ji was clearly bleeding, she could still feel it in her heart.

But why wasn't there the mark she was looking for on his chest?

Is there something else that Hades hasn't told her?

Or there is no man with a red spider lily in front of him...

In an instant, countless questions flashed through Shangguan Qing's mind.

She had to find out.

Cheng Ji saw that she was supporting the edge of the bed with one hand and holding her left chest tightly with the other hand. Her facial features were wrinkled with pain.

He helped her sit down, "What's wrong with you?"

"My heart is not feeling well. It's okay now. I want to be alone for a while."

Cheng Ji wanted to ask a few more questions, but he had to swallow them, "Okay...Call me if you need anything."

Cheng Ji put on his pajamas and walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.

Even though he had many doubts, he was afraid to ask her questions that she didn't want to tell. People have safe boundaries when interacting with each other, and he didn't want to cross them rashly.

When Shangguan Qing saw the door closed, he frowned and turned his head to look out the window.

He called out in a low voice, "Youxuan, come out!"

......

downstairs.

The servants were cleaning and Uncle Yan was standing by to supervise.

Cheng Ji walked downstairs. Everyone stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads and called out, "Mr. Cheng."

Qin Qianyue, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, heard the noise, immediately turned off the TV, and ran to Cheng Ji.

She pouted and complained, "Brother, why are you coming downstairs so late?"

You wouldn’t really do...that kind of thing with that woman, would you?

Cheng Ji glanced at her coldly, took the financial newspaper handed to him by Uncle Yan, and sat at the dining table calmly.

He did not answer Qin Qianyue directly, but turned to look at Uncle Yan.

"Prepare for me a portion of Shangguan Qing's breakfast this morning. Also, did something happen to her downstairs?"
