CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 295 CONFUSION

Sheng Wenhao glanced unobtrusively at Xu Ke from under his bangs. Only after receiving Xu Ke’s signal did he leave with peace of mind.

Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Xiaoxiao’s tense body relaxed slightly. Although she looked down on Sheng Wenhao from the bottom of her heart, years of professional discipline still kept her constantly alert, keeping her body always on the verge of explosion, ready to react quickly before danger strikes.

Xu Ke lay on the soft, large bed, his expression blurred, writhing his body. His distinctly jointed hand reached for his tie, loosening it slightly, then gently unbuttoned the collar at his neck.

Xu Ke stretched out his crimson tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips, whimpering softly, "Hot, so hot."

At this moment, Xu Ke resembled a just-born little beast, appearing weak, as if a single finger could easily crush him. Meanwhile, he evoked a desire for abuse deep within people and a sense of pity and compassion.

Lying on the bed, Xu Ke continued to writhe unconsciously, while Lu Xiaoxiao, with her arms folded, stood at a safe distance from the bed, watching Xu Ke with cold eyes. Her face showed no emotion, but her body gradually softened due to Xu Ke’s posture, thus lowering her guard.

"Xu Ke, oh Xu Ke, I never expected you’d have a day like this. Weren’t you quite decisive when you rejected me back then? How come you’ve ended up so miserable now?" Lu Xiaoxiao finally let go of her internal defenses completely, moving from a safe distance to the edge of the bed, looking down mockingly at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke laboriously opened his hazy eyes to look in Lu Xiaoxiao’s direction and softly said, "I’m so hot, water, I need water." As he said this, his body first curled up tightly, then relaxed, spreading his limbs, with a look of enjoyment and longing on his face.

"Beg me." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at his posture and smiled satisfactorily, even moving closer to Xu Ke once again.

But Xu Ke, lying on the bed, seemed to hear nothing. His posture was extremely relaxed, his eyes bright, and a satisfied smile on his lips, as if he had seen something delightful. It was slightly eerie, but Lu Xiaoxiao showed no fear on her face; in fact, there was a bit of excitement, not caring at all that Xu Ke hadn’t replied to her words.

"I really should let others see you like this, but it won’t be too late to be seen in a while, haha." Lu Xiaoxiao sneered.

"To think the master said to value you all, but you don’t look worth valuing at all, from the oldest to the youngest in the Xu Family, you’re all insignificant beings easily crushed like ants. But don’t be upset, contributing to the master’s career is your honor, you should be eternally grateful. Although the Xu Family isn’t worth much, it’s your fortune that the master doesn’t mind and is willing to keep it for you. Make sure to speak well of our master when you’re in the underworld."

Lu Xiaoxiao gently placed her hand on Xu Ke’s face, her fragrant, slender fingers tracing from Xu Ke’s forehead downwards, trailing over his eyebrows and high nose bridge, and stopping on Xu Ke’s rosy, thin lips.

"You actually look pretty good. I wouldn’t mind a one-night stand with you, but you were ungrateful, forcing me to change my mind. But I still like your face, what should I do? How about after the mission is over you give me your face?" Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Xu Ke with infatuated eyes, uttering words so gentle they sent chills down one’s spine.

All her focus was on Xu Ke’s face, unconsciously assuming that he had used the drugs she prepared for him, so she let down her guard while speaking, missing Xu Ke’s fingers gradually tightening around the bed sheet at his side.

Lu Xiaoxiao bent down slightly, her nose almost touching Xu Ke’s. Both her hands were on Xu Ke’s face, cradling his head, as if drawn by some temptation, her lips moving continuously towards Xu Ke’s lips.

Just as the two were about to kiss, Xu Ke deduced from Lu Xiaoxiao’s actions that he wouldn’t gain any more information and finally sprang into action. His right hand swiftly pulled up the loosely hung tie around his neck, his left hand quickly grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao’s hand on his cheek, and with the strength of his waist and abdomen, he flipped their positions, pinning Lu Xiaoxiao underneath him. He utilized the tie to bind her hands together and lift them above Lu Xiaoxiao’s head, pressing them against the bed.

"You’re actually okay!" Lu Xiaoxiao’s infatuation disappeared instantly, replaced by anger at being deceived and regret for ending up like this due to a moment of carelessness.

"Everything you did just now was an act. You dared to deceive me." Lu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, staring at Xu Ke with a fiery gaze, gritting her teeth and speaking each word deliberately.

"Was Sheng Wenhao also your man? He wasn’t under Sheng Yi’s control at all, was he?" In a flash of enlightenment, Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to realize something, her eyes widening even more, her eyeballs appearing ready to fall out of their sockets.

"You’re talking too much. If you really have so much to say, why not talk about your master instead?" Xu Ke spoke to Lu Xiaoxiao while engaging in a mental and physical battle with her.

Faced with an enemy intent on his life, Xu Ke had no compassion, immediately breaking Lu Xiaoxiao’s wrist held in his hands before turning to disarm her legs that were attempting to attack him.

Despite her wrists being broken, Lu Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to the pain, continuously talking to Xu Ke while trying to attack his body. Her moves were sinister and disreputable, targeting Xu Ke’s lower regions, forcing him to stop his offensive to protect himself.

"Since neither of us can do anything to the other, why don’t we call a truce? You let me go, and I’ll let you go. From now on, we won’t interfere with each other’s affairs. Not only will I not bother you again, but I can also persuade the master not to come after you anymore." The physical disparity between them became apparent in this confrontation.
