After a few seconds of holding back, Chen Nuo sighed. "It seems you've figured everything out... Then you should know that I didn't even touch that woman."

Lu Xixi smiled, twirling the fruit knife on her fingertip. "I know that... That's why I didn't hit you."

Chen Nuo helplessly shrugged his shoulders. After taking a deep breath, he relaxed, bent down to change into his slippers, and then walked into the living room.

Lu Xixi followed behind, and the two sat down on the couch in the living room—facing each other.

"The way you face me now, you seem more confident than when you were in Jinling." Lu Xixi looked at Chen Nuo, and suddenly her expression changed. "Eh? Your spiritual power seems to have grown quite a bit... Has your strength increased a lot? I understand now. You think you're not afraid of me anymore because your strength has increased, right?"

Chen Nuo smiled. "I'm not your match yet, but... it shouldn't take too long to surpass you."

Lu Xixi pursed her lips, her eyes showing a complex emotion.

Chen Nuo, however, completely relaxed.

Damn it, it's just about being caught cheating. I didn't actually do anything... Ah, no!!! I have nothing to do with you! Even if I really did something, it's not your place to care.

Picking up a bottle of water from the table, twisting it open, and taking a few sips, Chen Nuo then looked at Lu Xixi. "Did you come to Tokyo just because you were jealous?"

Lu Xixi's face turned slightly red, and she recoiled a bit awkwardly. "Pah! I'm not that bored."

"Then what are you here for?"

"I... I came for a commission task!"

"...Oh."

"What do you mean 'oh'?! I said I'm here on a commission task! Not specifically for you, you jerk!"

"I heard you. I'm not questioning it."

"Your tone is wrong!"

"Then… what tone should I use?"

"You…"

Lu Xixi's face grew even redder.

Suddenly, she realized that this scoundrel's gaze was fixed on her legs exposed at the hem of her skirt...

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at your legs," Chen Xiaoguo replied shamelessly.

"Hmph, do they look good?"

"They look good. White, long, and straight," Chen Nuo said earnestly.

"Want to touch them?"

Chen Nuo nodded and directly stretched his paw out, pressing it onto Lu Xixi's thigh. "Sure!"

"...?! "

This time it was Lu Xixi who was stunned!

This, this! This jerk, he really dared to make a move?!!

Stunned for a full three seconds, she felt the scorching heat of his palm on her thigh...

Damn it! This guy's fingers curled, and he even squeezed gently a few times?!

"AAAH!!!" Lu Xixi screamed, slapped Chen Nuo's hand away, and scooted back. "You, you..."

"You let me touch it," Chen Nuo leaned in with a mischievous smile.

Lu Xixi's mind went into disarray. She quickly jumped up from the sofa and ran into the bedroom.

Unexpectedly, this little pervert actually followed her right in!

With her thoughts in chaos, one of Lu Xixi's small hands was directly caught by Chen Nuo. Instinctively leaning back, she found herself being pulled forward as Chen Nuo stretched out his other hand to hook around Lu Xixi's waist.

Chen Nuo's heart couldn't help but flutter.

This woman's waist was so slender, so soft.

Lu Xixi's heart was already in turmoil.

Chen Nuo pressed himself against her, his deep voice softly saying, "Lu Xixi..."

"..."

"Look, let's not play games anymore, shall we?"

"Huh?"

"You flew all the way to Tokyo because you were worried, didn't you...

"I'm not a fool!

"Since that's the case, let's clear the air today."

"You, you... you..."

Even though Star Sky Empress was a Controller level expert, this was the first time in her life she had ever encountered such a situation! Especially when facing this man, a man who just so happened to occupy an extremely strange and special place in her heart...

Despite all her abilities, she found herself unable to resist at this moment; deep down, she couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

Chen Nuo's seductive voice continued to whisper into Lu Xixi's ears.

"You see, you've already taken a liking to me, haven't you?

"If that's so, there's no need to keep up the act...

"Life is short... why hide any longer!"

With that, Chen Nuo suddenly moved closer and planted a kiss on Lu Xixi's lips.

The Empress let out a short gasp, the rest of which was stifled as his lips met hers. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly!

His hot breath fanned across her face, making Lu Xixi feel intoxicated. His hand had already slid down her waist to rest on her perky bottom. Lu Xixi's body finally went limp, and she didn't stop him.

Her mind was in a daze. She felt his lips pressed against hers, a melting sensation spreading through her entire body. Unconsciously, somehow, Lu Xixi found herself pushed down onto the bed.

Chen Nuo was half-pressing on top of Lu Xixi. One of his hands, at some unknown point, had slipped like a nimble fish through a gap in her shirt...

Lu Xixi instantly felt as if she'd been electrocuted. Her whole body went limp at first, then she suddenly reacted, struggling forcefully to break free from Chen Nuo's embrace.

"You... you wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Nuo laughed playfully as he moved closer again.

Lu Xixi pushed against Chen Nuo, gritting her teeth. "I... I..."

"Haven't you fallen for me?"

"I... I have... but... but..."

"But what...? You're already here... so don't resist anymore..."

"...But..." In her haste, Lu Xixi pushed Chen Nuo's hand away, recoiling slightly, and stared at him, biting her lip. "But... but you..."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xixi looked at Chen Nuo solemnly and said in a heavy voice, "Then... are you in love with me?"

Chen Nuo's heart jolted!

But he kept his composure and smiled slightly.

"Love or not... we're all adults.

"You're interested, I'm interested.

"Why bother with such boring talk?

"On such a beautiful night, why don't we have some fun together!"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand again...

Lu Xixi's complexion had already changed!

Just as Chen Nuo, with a lecherous look on his face, leaned in again...

SLAP!

A slap across the face!

Lu Xixi immediately leaped up, followed by a punch that landed squarely on Chen Nuo's face!

Before Chen Nuo could react, Lu Xixi had already pushed him aside. Then, instinctively, she grabbed the blanket on the bed, rolled Chen Nuo up in it tightly, and after one more roll across the bed, he was completely cocooned!

Lu Xixi jumped off the bed, grabbed the curtain cord, and with a light tug, it snapped. Then, with swift movements, she tied up the blanket cocooning Chen Nuo!

What the hell?

Chen Nuo was momentarily stunned.

"Chen Nuo!!!"

Lu Xixi's eyes were red with anger as she glared furiously at him.

"You! You! You've disappointed me so much! I really misjudged you!!

"You're a jerk!!!"

Having said that, Lu Xixi gave Chen Nuo an angry look, straightened her clothes, turned around, and stormed out of the bedroom, heading straight for the door.

BANG!

Empress Lu slammed the door behind her and left!

Chen Nuo heard the noise outside, and the expression of lust on his face slowly faded away.

He sighed softly.

Sigh, my face still stings a little.

This way... I should be able... to scare her away. She should be... disappointed in me now.

Chen Nuo forced a bitter smile.

In this lifetime, it's really best if we don't get too deeply entangled...

Lying on the bed, lost in thought for a while...

Chen Nuo struggled to sit up.

But well...

He looked at the layers of blanket wrapped around him.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar.

Springing up, Chen Nuo gave a light shake, and the cord around the blanket snapped into pieces. He gently pulled off the blanket and slowly sat back down on the edge of the bed.

At this moment, he was not sure what he was feeling in his heart.

Scaring her away, making her disappointed, that was his original intention.

But... I still feel a bit disappointed and sad, don't I?

After sitting at the bedside for a good five minutes, Chen Nuo hung his head, rubbing his cheeks with his hands.

When he lifted his head again, he suddenly froze. "..."

Lu Xixi had returned at some point and was standing silently at the doorway of the bedroom, those unbelievably beautiful eyes quietly fixed on Chen Nuo!

"Uh? You..."

"No need to act anymore." Lu Xixi bit her lip. "I was so angry that I walked out just now, and I hadn't even reached the elevator before I realized! Chen Nuo, your acting sucks!"

Chen Nuo grinned. "Bad acting? Didn't I trick you into calling me 'husband' for several days back then?"

"Enough, no need to keep acting, and don't try to provoke or anger me with your words anymore." Lu Xixi slowly took a few steps forward.

Chen Nuo was speechless.

Lu Xixi spoke softly, "You obviously like me... I'm not an idiot! But why did you adopt such an attitude just now, trying to infuriate me, to scare me away, to make me disappointed? Why on earth...? I feel like... you seem really afraid of actually getting close to me? Like you really want to drive me away, wishing I'd stay as far from you as possible?"

"I..." Chen Nuo was at first lost for words, then he suddenly shouted angrily, "Lu Xixi! Are you always this confident? Thinking you're so beautiful, every man in the world will fall for you? I just think you're pretty! Since you offered yourself up, why wouldn't I take a bite!"

Watching Chen Nuo become agitated, his expression and words almost like those of someone irate from embarrassment, Lu Xixi suddenly smiled.

She narrowed her eyes. "Is that so? So... your actions just now, were they just because you wanted to sleep with me?"

"Yes! I just wanted to sleep with you! No other thoughts!

"What about it?! Is it so strange for a man to want to sleep with you?

"You're so tempting, it's normal for a man to want you, isn't it?

"Does it have to be about love? Please! Where did all that bullshit about feelings come from?

"I just purely and simply want to sleep with you!!

"I'm just purely lustful! I'm craving your body!

"Understand?!!!"

"I get it!"

Lu Xixi suddenly clenched her teeth and fiercely responded, "Fine then! So you... what you want is..."

She began to tremble all over.

The snow-white dress Lu Xixi was wearing suddenly, silently, slid off. Her incredibly enchanting and utterly tempting body was thus completely and utterly exposed before Chen Nuo's eyes!!

Chen Nuo was shocked!

Lu Xixi bit her lip, her voice trembling with each word as she said softly,

"Then... come and sleep with me!"

Chen Nuo's voice was a little hoarse. "Aren't you afraid..."

"Not afraid!"

"You would..."

"I would!"

Lu Xixi stood in front of this man, her snow-white body bathed in the bedroom light, seeming to radiate an enchanting soft glow.

Chen Nuo felt all his blood rush to his head; even his breathing was unsteady.

Finally, he stood up, took a step forward, and pulled Lu Xixi tightly into his arms!

He held her extremely fiercely, as if he wanted to knead this woman in front of him into his own body!

Yet, the words from his mouth were surprisingly gentle.

"Alright... Lu Xixi. I surrender. I admit defeat. You win. Just now, I was doing that on purpose. I'm sorry. I apologize to you."

Lu Xixi's eyes were tearful. "Do you still want to sleep with me?"

"..."

"Then sleep with me! You bastard!!!"

Chen Nuo gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and directly swept Lu Xixi into his arms!

Lu Xixi cried out in surprise as Chen Nuo held her and then tossed her onto the bed...

Drums and gongs, monthly tickets!!!!!!!
