For the First Time, Someone Could See Through Him

Su Qian's eyes opened a little. She looked at Lu Mingxiu, who was inches away from her, and suddenly smiled, "Young Master Lu, have you forgotten that we're preparing for a divorce?"

She didn't need to be jealous.

She laughed openly and was really not jealous at all. Her eyes were filled with tears, but there was also a kind of seductive taste.

He increased the strength in his hand slightly. He admired her calm self-control, but at this time, he also hated her calm self-control. She was so merciless.

She mercilessly saw through his thoughts and mercilessly told him that there was no friendship between them.

Her chin hurt a little from his grip. She wanted to push his hand away, but found that she had drunk too much and her movements had become much slower.

She didn't want to hurt her own body, so she finally said softly, "It hurts."

Just as she finished speaking, her lips were blocked.

He wanted to call it a kiss, but it was really difficult to call it a kiss. It was more like a punishment, and there was no lingering charm to speak of.

Even so, their breathing still spread in the air with an unstoppable ambiguity.

She, who was already drunk, was in a daze. Every nerve in her was activated, but she forgot what to do next.

At this time, a mocking voice came from not far away, "I don't think it's a good idea to do this in the living room."

Lu Mingxiu and Su Qian instantly woke up. Lu Mingxiu ended the kiss, but he didn't let go immediately. He just looked down at her.

Su Qian felt that the way Lu Mingxiu looked at her was different from the way he looked at her when he had just woken up in the hospital.

She seemed to have seen it in Lu Mingxiu, who had not lost his memory.

It was like a calm sea filled with energy, and at the right time, it could set off monstrous waves.

For some reason, she felt a sense of danger from his gaze.

She felt that she had really drunk too much to actually say such things to Lu Mingxiu.

She desperately wanted to put some distance between them.

She softly repeated, "It hurts."

Lu Mingxiu finally let go of his hand.

The moment he let go, Su Qian immediately rolled down from the sofa.

When they turned around, they saw Feng Xuanmo, who was watching them from a distance.

"The two of you seem to be in a good mood, but I still suggest that you go back to your room."

Lu Mingxiu tidied up his clothes and looked at Feng Xuanmo indifferently. "Dijing Manor belongs to me. Even if I really wanted to do something in the living room, you should be the one to avoid me."

Feng Xuanmo almost stumbled. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Lu Mingxiu was telling the truth. If he didn't show up, they might really be in the living room...

"Mingxiu, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I don't recommend you to do such strenuous exercise," he coughed lightly.

Lu Mingxiu cast him a sidelong glance and didn't say anything.

At this moment, he felt very conflicted.

He had only wanted to punish her a little just now, but he didn't expect that the moment he touched her lips, he would greedily want more. His body was one step faster than his thoughts. Just now, he didn't just want her, but he was full of selfish and destructive desire.

He was extremely unfamiliar with this feeling, but he was also very clear that he would not allow anyone to surpass his rationality to appear.

Su Qian didn't go to the master bedroom but found a guest room instead. Lu Mingxiu didn't stop her when he saw her.

It was indeed not suitable for them to sleep in the same room tonight.

This was the first time Feng Xuanmo had seen Lu Mingxiu lose control of his emotions. After all, he was the best at hiding his emotions. His eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Mingxiu, what did you guys talk about just now?"

"Nothing," Lu Mingxiu replied indifferently.

The turbulent waves on his face had returned to calmness, but the sea level in his heart was still turbulent.

He couldn't help but think back to what Su Qian had just said.

Did you set the criteria for your choice because you liked Qin Yunshuang, or did you like her just because she met your criteria? Or would you like another woman if she met your criteria?

This was the first time someone could see through his thoughts.

***

Su Qian found a guest room. It wasn't as comfortable as the master bedroom, but it was enough for her.

She went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Cold water droplets fell from the top of her head, and her whole body quivered. Her rationality returned in an instant.

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, she received a few messages from Sikong Jin before she could even dry his hair.

[Qian Qian, I'm flying off tomorrow afternoon. Remember to come and pick me up.]

[If you dare to not pick me up, I'll tell your uncle.]

...

Su Qian threw her phone to the side after she was done reading. This guy actually dared to use her uncle to pressure her. She didn't care about anyone else, but her uncle still held a very high position in her heart.

She typed out these words in disdain:

[I can come and pick you up, but you have to be able to get rid of the paparazzi on your own.]

Sikong Jin happily sent her a flying kiss emoji, followed by an apologetic emoji.

Su Qian waited for five minutes, but Sikong Jin's input remained the same. Finally, she lit the cigarette.

[What are you trying to say? Stop dilly-dallying. Are you still a man?]

Sikong Jin seemed to be a little offended by these words. [Do I need to prove to you whether I'm a man or not?]

She mercilessly replied, [Get lost ... I'm going to sleep if you don't say it now.]

Sikong Jin saw that she was a little angry and quickly replied,

[Don't, wait, I'm not done yet.]

[I was the one who threw a piece of Jade at you. Don't be angry.]

Su Qian suddenly had a bad feeling. [What kind of Jade did you smash?]

[It's all because of Su Huang. She took the Jade that your mother gave you and showed it off at her banquet. I was so angry that I destroyed it.]

[Well, I really didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be angry. When I find you, I'll be at your mercy.]

Sikong Jin held onto his phone nervously. It took a long time before he saw Su Qian reply.

[So what if it's destroyed? It's not a precious jade anyway.]

Sikong Jin knew that even though this Jade wasn't anything precious, it was still a gift from Su Qian's mother when she was still alive. In Su Qian's heart, it was one of a kind. If it wasn't for Su Huang going overboard, he wouldn't have lost his mind and smashed that piece of Jade.

Because of Si Shaoyan, he had heard about the Su family's happenings. Back then, Su Qian's mother had suffered a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to Su Qian and almost died. Although she was saved, her body was severely damaged and her health was deteriorating with each passing year. Before she was even five years old, her mother had passed away.

When she was ten years old, she and her brother were kidnapped at the same time. In order to save her, her brother was shot in the heart by the kidnappers and died on the spot. On the other hand, her father was in an accident on the way to save her and take her back, and he died on the spot, but she survived.

The Su family's old master had lost his son and grandson, whom he had been so proud of, in one day. She was the only one who had survived. When she returned to the Su family, she was almost strangled to death.
