Fu Yuan: "..."
He had wanted to talk to her about sothing. He’d waited and waited for what felt like an eternity for her to finish her shower, but then those two suddenly showed up. With them around, he knew he wouldn’t get a chance to speak, which was why he’d wanted her to get rid of them.
But who would have thought such a simple task could go so wrong, landing them in this awkward predicant?
After Fu Yuan finished, Jiang Yunnuan’s thoughts rang out once more.
’If he just wanted to talk, then he should have just said so. Why did this guy have to make things so misleading? Forget Si Xie—even I was starting to think he was here for a secret tryst~’
Si Xie: "..."
Seeing her face suddenly flush red, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. ’This damned woman! She actually wants Fu Yuan to have a tryst with her? How shaless!’
He was in the middle of cursing her out in his head when her voice suddenly cut in. She turned to look at him, her beautiful, limpid eyes filled with anger.
"Did you hear that? He was just here to talk to about sothing. But you—what are you even doing here? If you hadn’t shown up out of nowhere, things wouldn’t have turned out like this."
’Hmph, it’s all his fault. I didn’t ask him to co, so why did he? He even kept kicking my door like a madman. He’s the one who should be taking all the bla for this.’
Si Xie: "..."
’Is this how this wretched woman usually badmouths in her head?’
He desperately wanted to warn her to stop, to tell her he could hear everything. But he still had too many secrets to dig up; he couldn’t expose his new skill so soon.
And so, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
"Fine, fine, fine. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault, alright?"
’Huh? This guy is rebellious to the bone and usually has such a sharp tongue. Why would he admit he’s wrong so easily? That’s not like him at all. Sothing’s not right... very not right!’
’Rebellious to the bone?’
’Sharp tongue?’
Si Xie’s fists clenched. Before he could even get angry, she spoke again.
"Seeing as you’ve admitted your mistake so sincerely, I’ll let it slide this ti. Now, co on, both of you. You ca looking for one after another today, so what’s it all about?"
Her gaze swept back and forth between Fu Yuan and Si Xie before finally settling on Fu Yuan.
"Fu Yuan, you first!"
Fu Yuan pressed his lips together and fell silent, a flicker of conflict in his eyes. Si Xie looked at him, but his mind was completely quiet—not at all like Jiang Yunnuan’s, which was an endless, drama-filled monologue.
After a few seconds with no activity, his patience instantly ran out, and his attention snapped back to Jiang Yunnuan.
’Hah. Compared to them, this woman is far more interesting!’
"I want to talk to you alone!"
’Oh? So that’s why he was hesitating. It’s not sothing he can say in public. What on earth does he want to talk about?’
Jiang Yunnuan paused for a mont, then looked at Si Xie and Jun Yao. "In that case, you two can go wait downstairs. After Fu Yuan is finished, it’ll be Si Xie’s turn."
Hearing this, Si Xie pouted resentfully.
"What could possibly be so secretive?"
Despite his words, he still turned to leave. With his Mind Reading Technique, nothing about Jiang Yunnuan could be hidden from him anyway. There was no need to keep provoking her.
The two of them left quickly, leaving only Jiang Yunnuan and Fu Yuan in the room.
"See? We got rid of them just fine. Why did you have to make things so complicated?"
Fu Yuan: "..."
’How could he have known that Si Xie would be gotten rid of so easily?’
’That guy is rebellious and incredibly curious. Normally, he would have pushed back relentlessly, just to be contrary. I was only trying to avoid that trouble, but instead, I just made things more complicated.’
"So, tell , what did you want to see about?"
Seeing his silence, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t help but ask again.
He frowned at her. "Jiang Yunnuan, do you rember when Si Xie was trying to kill you? Who protected you? When Ming Ye shut the door on you, who was it that got it opened for you? Who has been the one to support you, steadfastly and without question?"
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
’Oops. Life has been a little too good these past few days. I almost forgot how nice this guy used to be to , how he moved to tears.’
’Back then, I even swore I would be good to him in the future.’
"Er, it was you, it was you, it was all you. You protected when I went to fight Si Xie, and you were the one who got Ming Ye to open his door for . I rember all of it."
’He couldn’t have co looking for just to talk about this, right?’
The thought had barely crossed her mind when his accusatory voice rang out again.
"Liar. Then why has Si Xie already advanced to the Deformation Stage—and even had his genes evolve—while I’m still stuck in the Beast Transformation Stage?"
