Su Jin could only fix her eyes at Xi Chenxiao in fear. His intimidation was menacing as if Lucifer himself had descended from Hell.
Carefully nudging her butt, she tried to keep a distance.
She had just been reborn, and it couldn’t be the end for her yet. Her mother was still locked up in the mental hospital, awaiting her saving. She needed her mother to get cured so that they could live happily ever after.
And ultimately, she would make Su Xue and Su Beijiang kneel in front of her like lowlives, repenting for their sins committed in her past life.
Just as Su jin had thought her movements were subtle enough, a cold voice pierced through the air. “Where do you think you’re going?”
She pursed her lips. The only reason she’d moved was that Xi Chenxiao was terrifying. She blinked, looking innocent, and typed, “Dude. My hip hurts from sitting too long. I was trying to shift my weight.”
Meeting her doe eyes, all of Xi Chenxiao’s anger vanished into thin air. He nodded, barely believing her. He didn’t mean to scare her. “All right.”
At this point, Su Jin got confused. What did he mean by “all right?”
When he saw the confusion in her eyes, he added plainly, “All right to your previous question as well.”
Only then did Su Jin come to her senses. But it was already decided.
She nodded, resigning to fate: she would sleep with him together in exchange for her freedom in going to her classes. And after forty days, if her pregnancy test was negative, she could go back to her room. If not, it was confinement for forty days.
There was woven chaos in her mind. She couldn’t deny there was a special connection between her and her baby from her past as she bore it for ten months. It was just that she was reborn, and she didn’t want it to arrive too soon. So she used contraception.
Yet, comparing the past and present timeline, she was bound to get pregnant now. What should she do?
If pregnant, would the devil continue to sleep next to her?
The look on Su Jin’s face became grimmer, and she came up with a tough decision. She unlocked her phone and edited her words. “Deal. So I’ll go to class. But after forty days, baby or not, I’m sleeping alone. Okay?”
Xi Chenxiao moved his attention to the window. Like a sly, cunning fox, his darkest plots fleeted across his eyes. He pulled out a bottle of pricey red wine from the car’s storage box, popped the cork open, and poured half a glass.
He left Su Jin puzzled, her eyes sticking at him like glue.
With elegance, he held the glass up and swirled. He lifted his lips into a tempting grin. He was a noble by nature, and in this fraction of a moment, he was the majestic Count Dracula hiding in his castle as he waited for his next bloody meal.
Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t, Su Jin cursed.
Xi Chenxiao wasn’t just any stunningly good-looking man. On top of that, he was powerful and influential. Now, he was pulling his seduction moves on her. It took her everything not to fall under his spell.
While she was dazed admiring him, it hit her that she’d asked him a question before that. But he ignored her, shamelessly popping a bottle and pouring himself a glass.
He should’ve taken the initiative to ask if she’d wanted a glass.
Still, he remained acting like no one was around, taking sips of his wine and swirling the glass. Stingy, mean, tight-assed man! He didn’t deserve his status and his looks at all.
Xi Chenxiao had noticed the modest transformations of her expressions: from astonishment to disgusted. He shook his head, wondering what kind of crazy ideas the mute young lady had on her mind again..
