The next day.
Yuefeng hadn't slept all night; the bloodshot eyes told the story of his sleepless night. His body was immobilized by the effects of the medicine, and as he listened to the soft snoring beside him, the hatred in his heart grew even stronger.
Damn woman! How could she... how could she make him suffer such... utter humiliation! He wanted nothing more than to kill her with his own hands right then and there!
How shameless! How could she sleep so soundly after treating him like that?!
Yuefeng remained conscious until dawn, when his fingers recovered, followed by his arms, shoulders, and torso...
Once she had regained her strength, Yuefeng pulled out the silver hairpin that bound her hair and thrust it into Suchen's throat.
The snoring stopped instantly, Yuefeng's expression hardened, and he saw Suchen smack her lips twice and mumble a couple of times.
Yuefeng didn't hear clearly. Just as he slightly raised his hand to stab, he heard a clear voice: "Yuefeng."
Yuefeng was startled, thinking she had woken up, but she only saw her turn over and continue to snore softly.
She... was calling her own name in her sleep?
Why……
As Yuefeng pondered, a strange emotion welled up within her. Her hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly, and she couldn't bring herself to pierce it.
Looking at Su Chen's messy hair, Yue Feng's mind was also in turmoil.
Never mind, let's leave it at that...
After dressing, Yuefeng's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Almost the instant he disappeared, Su Chen on the bed opened her eyes. She clutched her violently pounding chest, unsure of what to think.
She couldn't tell whether it was a narrow escape or something else entirely.
“He just tried to kill me,” Su Chen murmured.
[Yeah, didn't you already know? You made me remind you.]
"Yes, I thought of that a long time ago." Su Chen's face was expressionless.
Ningwu could tell she was in a bad mood. [After all, he didn't go through with it in the end; who knows, maybe he's fallen for you?]
"You know, if I hadn't called out his name just now..." she would probably be a dead soul in his hands.
Even though Su Chen didn't say the second half of her sentence, Ning Wu could guess it. Ning Wu didn't know how to persuade her, after all, the facts were there for all to see.
【Isn't this a new beginning? Once you've captured his heart little by little, he'll be at your mercy.】 Ning Wu hoped to help Su Chen see things more clearly.
Su Chen gave a soft "hmm," and Ning Wu, thinking she had taken it to heart, went back to her space to catch up on sleep.
Su Chen didn't sleep all night. When it was already bright, she dragged her tired body out of bed and couldn't help but feel the pain from everything yesterday.
Su Chen's face paled. In truth, how could she not bear this little bit of pain? It was just that the inexplicable pain in her heart made her change her expression.
She called for a maid to bring hot water, and only when she was fully immersed in the water did she feel a slight warmth.
For several days afterward, Su Chen and Yue Feng did not meet, as if nothing had happened that night.
Su Chen only secluded herself in the manor for two days. On the third day, perhaps she suddenly came to her senses, she went to a brothel wearing her newly bought fine clothes. She did the same for many days afterward, and usually returned drunk.
This situation lasted for more than a week, until Ningwu couldn't stand it anymore and gave Su Chen a severe scolding.
"Su Chen, look at yourself now! You're just a man! There are plenty of two-legged men out there, even pigs with two legs. And some of them are quite handsome. You've always been carefree! You even wanted to see all the handsome men in the world before."
As Ning Wu continued his tirade, his anger flared up. "I thought you were someone important, but I never expected you to be such a piece of trash!"
