Liu Yun rolled her eyes at his words and sneered.
“Look forward? The path ahead of me has already been destroyed by you!”
How could she face Xiao Xin now? Furthermore, the boy’s arrival had completely turned her life into a chaotic mess!
Lin Xiu, however, merely pressed his palms together and spoke.
“That’s perfect then. In that case, I have all the more reason to take responsibility for you, Sister Yun.”
Liu Yun shut her mouth. She understood that she could never win an argument against this bastard.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu changed the subject.
“Eat breakfast first, Sister Yun. A person needs food to function. You can’t just skip meals. Or would you prefer me to feed you?”
Liu Yun immediately shot him a wary glare.
“No need!”
As she spoke, she looked at the lavish breakfast before her. There was a hint of temptation in her eyes; after all, she had been truly exhausted and hungry since last night…
But the moment she thought about eating, wouldn’t that imply she had forgiven the boy for what he did to her last night?
Thinking of this, Liu Yun put the spoon down again. She looked at the boy with a cold and resolute expression.
“I won’t say a word about what happened last night, and you aren’t allowed to tell anyone else either. After today, let’s go back to being strangers.”
She would treat it as if she had been bitten by a dog once.
“Otherwise, even if you use Xiao Xin to threaten me, I’ll destroy everything we have before I let you control me.”
Hearing her say this, Lin Xiu frowned.
“Sister Yun, is there really a need for this? We’ve clearly already…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was met with Liu Yun’s furious gaze, forcing the words back into his throat.
Lin Xiu hesitated for a moment before sighing helplessly.
“Fine, I promise you.”
Liu Yun was slightly surprised that the boy had actually agreed. She felt a surge of suspicion.
“You really agree? To be strangers from now on?”
Lin Xiu nodded and spread his hands.
“You’ve already threatened mutual destruction, Sister Yun. What else can I do but agree?”
Liu Yun’s lips moved slightly. Seeing the boy agree so easily, a strange sense of loss actually welled up in her heart!
But she was quickly shocked by her own emotion. She hurried to wipe away that superfluous feeling and spoke indifferently.
“I hope you keep your word.”
With that, Liu Yun began to eat the breakfast in small bites.
After breakfast, Liu Yun arrived at the foyer. Looking at the boy standing behind her, scenes of their time together recently flashed through her mind.
If she were to ask herself honestly… if it weren’t for that… she actually didn’t hate this guy all that much.
“Goodbye.”
Liu Yun whispered softly. Without looking back at the boy again, she turned, opened her own front door, and walked inside.
Lin Xiu leaned against the doorframe, watching the neighboring door close. He smiled faintly.
“Goodbye, Sister Yun.”
Since relationships between people can change, why couldn’t strangers become lovers again?
Strangers? Sister Yun, you are still far too naive.
However, compared to Liu Yun’s desire to draw a line between them, Lin Xiu was currently more concerned about the hypnosis.
She was actually able to break free from his hypnotic commands. Could it be said that Sister Yun truly deserved her status as an SSS-rank ability user?
Normally, Lin Xiu should have reported such an instance of someone escaping his control, but at this moment, he had no intention of doing so. He had his own considerations…
***
On the other side, after Liu Yun returned home, her entire body and mind felt exhausted.
She went to the bathroom and shed her clothes, letting the warm water spray over her. Seeing the red marks on her skin in the mirror—all of them left by the boy—her heart sank.
These marks served as a constant reminder that the boy had turned her into a complete woman. Although she had no lingering memory of the process, she only knew it was very painful, and then she felt as if she were drifting on clouds…
However, Liu Yun understood that the marks on her body would not disappear with time. Just as with certain things, once they were done, they were done. There was no way she could wash herself clean…
Thinking of this, a trace of melancholy and worry flashed in Liu Yun’s eyes. Perhaps it was time to put an end to this.
It was half an hour later when Liu Yun finally emerged from the bathroom.
She returned to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at the wedding photo of her and her wife by the bedside, a thick sense of guilt flashed in her eyes.
Liu Yun picked up her phone. After hesitating for a long time, she finally called her wife, Ning Xin.
“Hello? Yun Yun, what’s wrong?”
The call was answered quickly, and a gentle female voice came through.
Hearing that voice, Liu Yun’s guilt intensified. She had actually betrayed the feelings between her and Xiao Xin!
At the thought, Liu Yun fought back the tears welling in her eyes and tried her best to speak calmly.
“Xiao Xin, are you free right now? I want to talk to you…”
Hearing this, Ning Xin readily agreed.
“Sure, I happen to not be busy right now.”
The two of them chatted about domestic matters for a while, with Ning Xin sharing the usual details of her daily life as she always did.
Liu Yun tried to speak several times but couldn’t find the right opening. But knowing she had to say it, she finally interrupted Ning Xin.
“Xiao Xin, I have something very important I want to tell you. Can you listen to me finish?”
There was silence on the other end of the line. Seeing this, Liu Yun spoke again.
“I…”
I am actually a woman, and I also betrayed you…
However, just as she started, her words were cut off by Ning Xin.
“Yun Yun, can you hold off for a moment?”
Liu Yun was stunned, then heard the other party continue.
“Since you say it’s something very important, how about we wait until I get back? I don’t really want to communicate such important things over the phone.”
Liu Yun fell silent. After a long while, she gave a soft hum of affirmation.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back…”
Although Liu Yun’s inner guilt would multiply with every passing day, she felt the same way. She didn’t want to gloss over everything by delivering it through a phone.
After hanging up, Liu Yun stared blankly at her phone. After thinking it over, she placed another call to Lin Jianguo.
“Hello, Chairman. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you…”
***
Meanwhile, inside the Angel Bar.
After Ning Xin hung up the phone, her brows furrowed deeply. Then, she looked at a man beside her.
“Did you find the information I asked for last time?”
The man nodded and handed her a folder.
“He’s the youngest master of the Lin Group. A wealthy brat. He probably used money to wedge his way into your household.”
Ning Xin stared coldly at the photo of Lin Xiu and snorted.
“If that’s really the case, Liu Yun is truly a shallow and cheap woman. Even with the mindset of a man, she can still accept being played with by another man.”
“If she weren’t still useful, I would have finished off such a disgusting woman long ago.”
“By the way, when can I return to Yun City? Although I can’t kill those two yet, I can at least break an arm or a leg to vent some frustration.”
Hearing this, the man smirked and winked.
“Rose, you say you don’t care, but there’s still a thorn in your heart, isn’t there? After all, you’ve been cuckolded.”
Ning Xin’s gaze turned several degrees colder as she looked gloomily at the man.
The man gave a couple of forced laughs.
“Just a joke, just a joke. Don’t take it seriously…”
