Chapter 401: The Aggressive Lady Poison
To have a door shut in her face was not something that Su Li was used to, and she felt a little slighted. She had come over to see him and have a chat, and to be turned down is such a brusque manner was unthinkable. She could imagine a long line of men just dreaming of getting an opportunity such as this; even getting a glance or a smile from her would make their day. Yet, for this man, none of that matter—how could he be so cold?!
There were many things that she had wanted to ask him, and his interview at Huayao Corporation was undoubtedly one of the items on the agenda. After hearing about Xiao Luo’s proficiency with several foreign languages, she was curious to learn more about it. She reached for the doorbell again, but something stopped her. Her finger was still on the doorbell when she decided to abort the idea of barging in on him and turned around to return to her apartment.
…
…
After Xiao Luo returned to his unit, he immediately settled into a lotus position and regulated his breathing. The prowess of the white-haired beggar in using his techniques could not be underestimated, and he was already suffering a severe internal injury from the kick that his adversary had delivered. Xiao Luo chose not to expend any more points on the system’s healing function, knowing that he could resort to his breath regulation technique to heal the injury. And this was precisely why Xiao Luo declined to teach Su Li how to prepare the vegetable taro paste.
Besides, it wasn’t too long ago that Xiao Luo had been in a public toilet to make sure that Yang Hongzhi kept his word about eating a pile of excrement—and when he beat the white-haired beggar, he made sure that Yang Hongzhi and his bodyguards had a feast! Although he didn’t get anything filth on his body, he seemed to detect a lingering stench; therefore, it just really wasn’t a suitable time for him to teach someone how to cook.
Suddenly, he caught a waft of a peculiar fragrance…
Xiao Luo took a whiff, trying to recall memories of the scent. Then, he abruptly opened his eyes and ceased his breath regulation exercise, for the fragrance was etched deeply in his mind.
Before he could move a muscle, a dark figure streaked from the bedroom and came up behind him like a black flash of lightning. A slender hand clad in black silk gloves was pressed against his back, and Xiao Luo suddenly felt his whole body go numb, as he was struck accurately on the acupoint with the index and middle finger.
“Mie, you’re now mine!”
A husky and seductive voice whispered in his ear—the woman in black strut from behind Xiao Luo with feline grace, swaying her slender hips provocatively. Standing right in his front of Xiao Luo, she exuded charm and charisma. Her beautiful, delicate visage was framed by silky black hair, worn in a loose chignon, and adorned with a jasper hairpin with a dragon-phoenix design. Her eyes were alluring, almost flirting, and it would have been difficult for any man to resist her gaze.
Standing before him like a Greek G.o.ddess, she looked like she had just stepped out of a cla.s.sical painting of the old masters!
“Lady Poison, what are you doing?” Xiao Luo gasped.
“I’ve said it before, we are made for each other.”
Fu Yiren suddenly bent down and gently placed her quivering lips on Xiao Luo’s, the lightest of touch, like a dragonfly skimming the pond’s surface.
Her cheeks blushed, and in the dim light of the nearby lamp, she looked remarkably captivating and enchanting. In a very suggestive way, she purred in a longing voice, nibbling on her scarlet lips invitingly.
Xiao Luo’s mind went blank for a moment, but he found his voice in typical fas.h.i.+on and said, “Find someone else, I have no interest in you.”
“Other men mean nothing to me, in my eyes, I only want you.”
Fu Yiren held Xiao Luo’s face with both hands. In her pa.s.sion, she exerted more strength than she had intended, squis.h.i.+ng Xiao Luo’s face and making it look pressed against a gla.s.s window.
Xiao Luo’s eyes were cold. A male chauvinist like him could never allow a woman to hold his face like a child. “Take your hands away,” he fumed.
“Mie, I hope you understand the position you’re now in—you are my prey, and I can do whatever I want with you. I can’t fault you for not having any feelings for me now, but such things can be cultivated over time. And, as I do not have any a.s.signments now, it’s the perfect time to start. I can stay with you here every day to nurture our relations.h.i.+p.”
Fu Yiren’s voice was enticing, and it possessed the quality that could bring a man to his knees. After saying that, she kissed Xiao Luo forcibly.
Xiao Luo’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting Fu Yiren to be so bold. Despite being resistant to Fu Yiren’s poison, Xiao Luo couldn’t help feeling like he was being molested. As he was totally unable to move, he used what strength he had left to clench his teeth together.
“Ahh!”
Fu Yiren, who was lost in her pa.s.sion, suddenly pulled away and jumped to her feet, bolt upright, clasping her mouth. Xiao Luo’s bite hurt, and she immediately revealed her brutal nature.
“I’ll kill you!”
She shouted angrily, raising her right palm, intending to slam it on Xiao Luo’s skull. But when she gazed into Xiao Luo’s eyes, her murderous thought immediately dissipated. Dejectedly, she dropped her right hand and just stared emotionally at Xiao Luo.
“Lady Poison, you and I both work for the NSA. I do not want to have any unpleasantness between us. I’m sorry, I cannot fulfill your wish, but I’ll recommend a few to you if you really want to have a man. I can a.s.sure you that you’ll be satisfied,” Xiao Luo said.
“I said, I only want you. I will not even look at another man!”
Then, Fu Yiren’s expression suddenly softened, and she said, “That was my first kiss. Whether you accept it or not, it was given to you, so you must be responsible for me.”
What the~! @#$%…
Xiao Luo felt his chest tighten as he immediately wondered why he was once again being held responsible for a relations.h.i.+p he did not ask for. Were all girls this way?
He knew he had to take a firm stand and said, “I’ll advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible.”
“You…!”
Fu Yiren was an impetuous person by nature. Although she had said earlier that she wanted to slowly nurture her relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Luo, Fu Yiren lost it when she got that response from Xiao Luo. Resentfully, like a jealous little girl, she said, “Your wife, Su Li, is a popular star, and she lives just next door, am I right? She’s so beautiful, and even I’m jealous of her beauty whenever I see her. But she has married the man I want, and now she must die!”
“I dare you!?”
Xiao Luo’s eyes turned red with rage as a murderous aura instantly emanated from his body.
Seeing his reaction, Fu Yiren became even more jealous, and her chest heaved noticeably in resentment. “Sleep with me, and I’ll leave her alone,” she cried.
Xiao Luo was really getting riled up. There were so many men in the world, but she had to choose him. Ignoring the fact that he was now Su Li’s nominal husband, even if he were single, he would still not casually go to bed with any woman, let alone one whose whole body was filled with poison.
Fu Yiren saw the determination on Xiao Luo’s face, but she couldn’t care less. She needed this man, and she was going to get him.
“I do not believe that I can’t change your mind!”
