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 matterâhow 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 Luoâs 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 systemâs 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 wasnât 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 excrementâand when he beat the white-haired beggar, he made sure that Yang Hongzhi and his bodyguards had a feast! Although he didnât get anything filth on his body, he seemed to detect a lingering stench; therefore, it just really wasnât a suitable time for him to teach someone how to cook.
Suddenly, he caught a waft of a peculiar fragranceâ¦
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.
âMie, youâre now mine!â
A husky and seductive voice whispered in his earâthe 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 goddess, she looked like she had just stepped out of a classical painting of the old masters!
âLady Poison, what are you doing?â Xiao Luo gasped.
âIâve said it before, we are made for each other.â
Fu Yiren suddenly bent down and gently placed her quivering lips on Xiao Luoâs, the lightest of touch, like a dragonfly skimming the pondâs 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 Luoâs mind went blank for a moment, but he found his voice in typical fashion and said, âFind someone else, I have no interest in you.â
âOther men mean nothing to me, in my eyes, I only want you.â
Fu Yiren held Xiao Luoâs face with both hands. In her passion, she exerted more strength than she had intended, squishing Xiao Luoâs face and making it look pressed against a glass window.
Xiao Luoâs eyes were cold. A male chauvinist like him could never allow a woman to hold his face like a child. âTake your hands away,â he fumed.
âMie, I hope you understand the position youâre now inâyou are my prey, and I can do whatever I want with you. I canât 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 assignments now, itâs the perfect time to start. I can stay with you here every day to nurture our relationship.â
Fu Yirenâs 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 Luoâs eyes widened in shock, not expecting Fu Yiren to be so bold. Despite being resistant to Fu Yirenâs poison, Xiao Luo couldnât 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.
âAhh!â
Fu Yiren, who was lost in her passion, suddenly pulled away and jumped to her feet, bolt upright, clasping her mouth. Xiao Luoâs bite hurt, and she immediately revealed her brutal nature.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâll kill you!â
She shouted angrily, raising her right palm, intending to slam it on Xiao Luoâs skull. But when she gazed into Xiao Luoâs eyes, her murderous thought immediately dissipated. Dejectedly, she dropped her right hand and just stared emotionally at Xiao Luo.
âLady Poison, you and I both work for the NSA. I do not want to have any unpleasantness between us. Iâm sorry, I cannot fulfill your wish, but Iâll recommend a few to you if you really want to have a man. I can assure you that youâll be satisfied,â Xiao Luo said.
âI said, I only want you. I will not even look at another man!â
Then, Fu Yirenâs expression suddenly softened, and she said, âThat was my first kiss. Whether you accept it or not, it was given to you, so you must be responsible for me.â
What the~! @#$%â¦
Xiao Luo felt his chest tighten as he immediately wondered why he was once again being held responsible for a relationship he did not ask for. Were all girls this way?
He knew he had to take a firm stand and said, âIâll advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible.â
âYouâ¦!â
Fu Yiren was an impetuous person by nature. Although she had said earlier that she wanted to slowly nurture her relationship with Xiao Luo, Fu Yiren lost it when she got that response from Xiao Luo. Resentfully, like a jealous little girl, she said, âYour wife, Su Li, is a popular star, and she lives just next door, am I right? Sheâs so beautiful, and even Iâm jealous of her beauty whenever I see her. But she has married the man I want, and now she must die!â
âI dare you!?â
Xiao Luoâs 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. âSleep with me, and Iâll leave her alone,â 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 Liâs 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 Luoâs face, but she couldnât care less. She needed this man, and she was going to get him.
âI do not believe that I canât change your mind!â
