Chapter 69: Showing Weakness

  When he returned to the villa, it was already early evening. Shao Qi walked into the beautiful house by himself and entered the living room where Shao Hua was having dinner.

  In the bright and spacious hall, crystal chandeliers emitted dazzling light, and the gauze curtains also subtly revealed the dark color outside the window under this light. On the long, pure white dinner table was arranged exquisite Western cuisine, and that slender figure sat there.

  Dazzling lights, luxurious buildings, exquisite things, elegant protagonists, the whole scene is like a beautiful comic book. Shao Qi stopped there until his stomach growled with hunger, bringing him back to reality.

  "I'm going to take a bath!" Just like the slow-motion scene in a TV series, Shao Hua gently turned her head to look at him, and the words from Shao Qi's mouth had already flown into the air.

  Shao Hua's eyes slightly raised, Shao Qi had already walked upstairs to the bathroom in his own room. Shao Qi knew that it was Shao Hua's habit to take a bath as soon as he got home, and he himself also hoped to wash away all the dust as soon as he arrived home.

  Although he didn't consider this place home, he was after all a person who knew how to be good to himself. Moreover, he needed that kind of complete relaxation when taking a bath, only then would his brain work doubly hard and he could think of the most beneficial ideas.

  When Shao Qi finished his bath, he walked back to the living room wearing a bathrobe. The lights were still as bright as daylight, and the beautiful people were still dazzling. However, on the long, large table, exquisite Chinese dishes had been laid out at some point, coexisting harmoniously with Western cuisine.

  There was no deliberate estrangement, nor courtesy, Shao Qi still directly sat on the left side of Shao Hua, picked up his chopsticks and swept away the delicious dishes on the table with a calm pace.

  "Why did you suddenly make me come back?" Under Shao Hua's gloomy gaze, Shao Qi finally opened his mouth to ask.

  "What identity do you have, that makes you qualified to ask?" The slightly raised lips carried a cold and mocking tone, and a hint of inexplicable chill flashed in Shao Hua's eyes, but he didn't bother to explain or justify anything.

  "Ah, I forgot again!" seemed to be a nonchalant attitude, Shao Qi ignored his chilly remarks and continued eating the delicious food.

  He was just a lamb to be slaughtered, lying on the chopping board. Everything had already been beyond his control, and as an executioner, Shao Hua could do whatever he wanted according to his mood, without needing any reason.

  He just knew that he was unwilling to be a sheep that could only be slaughtered by others, without any freedom, and the longing for freedom in his bones made him sharp.

  He wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at him, and said with some certainty: "I know you despise those threats and temptations. To deal with me, a nobody, you don't need to use the people around me as leverage. You also saw through my appreciation for life early on..."

  Looking at the talkative person, Shao Hua's eyes lit up slightly, his pale hand slowly supporting his chin, and he smiled and asked him: "So, what do you want to say?"

  "Although you've been intentionally misleading me, I know that you won't go so far as to harm some innocent people. You have your pride and your principles!"

  "Hmm..." Shao Hua smiled, his stiff fingertips tightly pinching his chin, "Is your brain really that stupid?"

  In his world, there are no innocent or non-innocent people. Who in this world is absolutely innocent? This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and only with absolute power can one avoid being trampled by others.

  What pride, it's just nonsense! What principle, it's just something to bluff people! He Shao Hua is not a straightforward person, he's just lazy most of the time and doesn't want to bother with things that can be avoided, but sometimes there are exceptions.

  Shao Qi grasped his fingers, and the man also casually loosened them, instead wrapping his arms around Shao Qi's neck, forcing him to leave the stool and lie on his lap.

  His neck was a bit stuffy, but it wouldn't be too uncomfortable. Shao Qi looked at him and thought for a moment before speaking: "I saw Er Ya, and..." Although he still had that demonic appearance, his eyes still held an inexplicable emotion, and Shao Qi didn't know whether he should say anything or not.

  "So, you don't think that Yan Lie bringing you back means anything, do you?" Shao Hua smiled, his icy fingers slowly tracing the beautiful curve of his neck, a gentle and ambiguous gesture that made Shao Qi feel a chill run down his spine.

  After a moment of silence, Shao Qi lowered his eyes and said, "You won't understand what I mean?"

  Shao Hua raised his chin again, forcing him to look at him, as if he wanted to see through him.

  "Yes, I'm scared, I'm begging you, asking you, not for anything else, just for myself!" Closing her eyes, Shao Qi's words were low and helpless, revealing all her fears and weakness.

  He really can't accept the current situation of Yuan Xi, and the imagination of the process is a deep-seated fear from his soul. The realistic effect and true emotions make him believe that it must be flawless.

  "Oh?" Shao Hua smiled, but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes, and even the corners of his eyes, which usually curled up slightly, didn't bother to move.

  Shao Qi slowly opened his eyes, and with a calm tone, he said: "If one day you're really tired of me, just kill me, I don't want to be given to someone else, nor do I want to meet someone like Er Ya!"

  "So you'd better not lose my interest!" He released his grip, looking down at him with an air of superiority, his magnetic voice as gentle and clear as spring rain, but to Shao Qi, it was like the rustling of autumn leaves.

  Shao Qi slowly got up, moved his somewhat stiff legs, and in front of Shao Hua, he almost shamelessly pulled the bathrobe belt hard, and the white bathrobe instantly scattered on the ground.

  Perhaps the light was too dazzling, but the exposed skin had a silky sheen, and occasionally there were still some faint purple marks left over from the excitement of the previous days, which only added to the allure, drawing people in with an irresistible charm.

  His body touched the cold air, and his skin quickly rose with a layer of fine goosebumps. But he seemed to have really come to terms with it, or perhaps he was just too out of it, as if nothing mattered anymore.

  She walked straight to Shao Hua's side, Shao Qi sat on his leg like a woman, stretched out her arms and hooked his neck, raised her head and kissed those cold lips, her seductive posture was like a vine, tightly attached to this big tree.
