"Trusting you would be foolish!"
Lin Ruoxue scoffed, having clearly caught him deep in thought just monts ago, combined with his muddy appearance upon returning from outside, she was even more certain sothing had happened!
"Then what do I need to do for you to believe , honey?"
Su Chen curved his lips into a sly smile, and his large hands started wandering:
"Do you an like this?"
"Don't..."
Before Lin Ruoxue could say another word, Su Chen had already rolled over and kissed her...
.....
anwhile, elders from several major families were unable to sleep!
During this night, soone from the Hidden Dragon Hall suddenly arrived to inform them that they would maintain neutrality regarding their issues with Su Chen and would not interfere!
Keep in mind, the Hidden Dragon Hall was these elders' last resort!
Although they had felt both shocked and even fearful of the tactics and strength Su Chen displayed, the existence of the Hidden Dragon Hall always gave them a bit more confidence!
They had always thought, no matter how things progressed, as long as the Hidden Dragon Hall was there, things wouldn't beco too terrible!
But now, soone from the Hidden Dragon Hall had co to say they would no longer bother with this matter, leaving them suddenly feeling utterly deflated!
More importantly, the implications behind the Hidden Dragon Hall's stance were even more intriguing!
Regardless, one thing was certain, they no longer had any other choice, they had to act swiftly to eliminate that young boy from back then!
Otherwise, as he continued to grow, it would truly brew imnse disaster, the consequences unimaginable!
Because they all knew Su Chen would not let them off...
.....
The next morning, the two woke up embraced in the warm sunlight of the early dawn, and Su Chen gently kissed Lin Ruoxue's forehead before getting out of bed.
Lin Ruoxue, of course, continued to lounge in bed a while longer, as the bed still carried the scent of Su Chen, to which she had grown accustod.
When Su Chen had almost finished preparing breakfast, Lin Ruoxue also got up!
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, she couldn't help but take a deep breath before sitting down and starting to eat!
After serving a small pot of porridge, Su Chen too sat down.
After finishing breakfast, like usual, they both drove separately to their offices.
Settling down in his office with a cup of brewed tea, Su Chen couldn't help but recall the events from last night.
The issue always felt sowhat off to him, but he couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was!
However, if The Hidden Dragon Hall truly stepped back, he could indeed face the major families more comfortably!
Of course, he hadn't completely let his guard down, since another na was still lingering on his mind, Shengyi Gate!
He had thought about asking Yao Zhe yesterday, but he held back.
Although he didn't mind Yao Zhe, interaction had only been brief and was not enough to establish trust!
And this matter could potentially relate to the true circumstances of his grandfather's and parents' deaths, he couldn't be careless!
He figured he might ask his old master after the New Year or perhaps he would know.
That's right, since plans had changed, he should call Pei Man to inform her; their couple's act no longer needed continuing.
After so thought, he decided it was better to communicate this in person and called Pei Man to arrange a eting.
Pei Man had no objections and readily agreed.
Soon after, Su Chen drove to the Pei Family residence; like the last ti, Pei Man was already waiting at the gate when he arrived!
Today Pei Man wore a Bohemian style long dress adorned with colorful little flowers scattered throughout, brimming with youthful charm and grace!
Over the long dress, she draped a long woolen coat, which looked very stylish.
Her face was adorned with a light layer of makeup, making her already exquisite and flawless face even more devastatingly beautiful!
And with her hair casually draped over her shoulders, she was breathtakingly gorgeous!
"You've arrived!"
Pei Man saw Su Chen coming and smiled faintly.
She seed to always look this way, her face always bearing a gentle smile.
"Yes, I've co."
Su Chen nodded. Every ti he saw Pei Man, he always felt she was too perfect, so much so that one could easily overlook her disability.
"How do you plan to spend the day?"
Pei Man turned her head and asked with a smile:
"You're not going to take to a hotel like last ti, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen did feel sowhat embarrassed and blushed.
"No, I have sothing to discuss with you this ti."
Su Chen said softly.
"Oh, alright. What is it that you want to talk about?"
Pei Man was slightly startled by his words and then asked.
"It's pretty cold outside, let's talk in the car."
Su Chen then pushed Pei Man's wheelchair over to the car. After all, it was winter now, and Pei Man, being a woman, must feel sowhat cold outside, especially since she wasn't wearing much.
Su Chen opened the rear door of the car, picked up Pei Man, placed her on the seat, and then walked around to the other side to get in.
"What is it you want to talk about? Go ahead."
Pei Man asked with curiosity.
"The thing is, I wanted to thank you for playing the part of my girlfriend during this ti, and also thank you for putting up with a lot."
Su Chen said apologetically, as he had taken advantage of her quite a bit during that process.
It must be said, so of those advantages were necessary for the act, while others were monts when Su Chen couldn't quite control himself!
After all, few n could remain unmoved in the presence of a woman like Pei Man, but most n felt intimidated by her grace and nobility, even feeling unworthy to approach her.
That wasn't a problem for Su Chen.
"No need to thank . Didn't I tell you before? I did it willingly, and I had my reasons."
Pei Man smiled faintly.
"Regardless, I still want to thank you; I know you did it to help ."
Although Pei Man had ntioned before that she did it to get Shen Shao to give up on her,
Su Chen knew that with Pei Man's abilities, there were many ways to achieve that goal without having to pretend to be his girlfriend.
"Alright, I accept your thanks."
Pei Man was not pretentious and then glanced at him:
"So you ca today just to thank ."
"Yes, and also to tell you that there's no need to proceed with the previous plan concerning Shen Shao and the Shen Family anymore. From now on, you're free, and we don't have to pretend to be a couple anymore."
Su Chen said while looking at Pei Man with a smile.
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Man felt a sudden jolt of surprise and asked with so confusion.
After all, in her view, that plan had been a multifaceted strategy.
