Chapter 61 The Third Party

Back at the apartment, Lu Siqi found that the living room walls had been restored to their original state.

The drawing board, paints, and drawing paper were all neatly arranged, spotless, just like the first day I came here.

In just a few days, her previous aversion to this place had completely vanished.

It's possible that they know Hua Xu has allied with Mu Sen. Whether it's for self-preservation or other purposes, they are currently on the same side, fighting against a common enemy: Hua Yin.

Regardless of whether Hua Xu will retaliate against them after Hua Yin falls, at least for now, all the undercover agents are safe.

"What are you thinking about?" Hua Xu took a glass of warm water, walked behind her, and handed it to her. "Have some water first."

"Thank you." Taking the water, Lu Siqi took a sip. Thinking of the red candle she saw at the casino, she re-examined the refined and mature man in front of her and felt that he was becoming more and more unfathomable.

Hua Xu knew that after these two days at Hua Gui Fang, his image in this woman's heart had become even more tainted. "Whether you believe it or not, even if my hands are stained with blood, I will never hurt you, Lu Siqi, for the sake of Du Huo."

Although his words sounded affectionate, Lu Siqi found them somewhat inexplicable: "I don't think I knew you, President Hua, before."

"Just because you don't know me doesn't mean I don't know you." Hua Xu turned around and walked towards the stairs. "Go to sleep early."

After watching him go upstairs, Lu Siqi also returned to her room.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed, what appeared before him was the image of Hua Yanran clinging to Mu Sen's arm in a coquettish manner; and the... Sister Nian she mentioned.

Hua Xu had previously stated that Mu Sen's real name was Lin Chen, the sole heir of the Lin family, and that he had a fiancée.

Now that Hua Yanran has mentioned "Sister Nian" again, it seems that Mu Sen has a fiancée... which is an indisputable fact.

Does the fact that he has a fiancée but maintains a casual sex relationship with her mean he's two-timing her?
And I... am that immoral mistress.

Thinking of this, Lu Siqi sat up, picked up her phone, and sent Mu Sen a message: "If you really have a fiancée, I think our relationship should end."

She sent the message, but only a few seconds later she clicked "recall".

She knew that this behavior was too pretentious. After all, a sexual relationship with someone who only had sex was immoral. She had agreed to it in the first place, and Musen had not forced her.

Five minutes later, Mu Sen sent her a message: [I just finished showering and didn't see your message. What did you just retract?]

Text chat is different from face-to-face conversation, but Lu Siqi wasn't hesitant and replied naturally: 【I accidentally sent the wrong message just now.】

Are there times when you're careless?

She didn't know how to reply.

I simply put my phone back on the bedside table, pretended I hadn't seen it, and went back to sleep.

Seeing that she still wasn't replying to his messages, Mu Sen, who was already feeling frustrated, dialed her number and called her.

Lu Siqi didn't answer the first time.

She didn't answer the second time either.

Until Mu Sen sent her a message: 【Thinking I can't handle you just because you're on your period?】

My legs suddenly felt weak.

Didn't you know there's a way to rub against each other through a tampon?

The threatening and provocative language made Lu Siqi's ears burn.

Mu Sen, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat on the sofa, his short hair still slightly damp. Waiting in vain for a reply, he playfully typed in the chat box: "[Still pretending not to see? Do you really want me to come over with tampons?]" A few seconds after sending the message, he received a voice call from Lu Siqi.

After the call connected, he asked with a smile, "I find you to be quite interesting. You started acting all coy with me after leaving Huaguifang. Why are you acting all coy with me?"

"Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen?"

"We've done it so many times, there's no need to turn your back on me as soon as we get out of bed, is there?"

In the darkness, Lu Siqi kept her head down. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since she heard Hua Yanran mention his fiancée tonight, she had felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak her mind: "I didn't know you had a fiancée before."

Hearing what he wanted to hear, Mu Sen smiled and said, "You didn't ask me."

"I think your behavior is very bad."

"Why is it bad?"

“Since you already have a fiancée, you shouldn’t let me have a relationship with you. If you do this, I will feel like I’m a homewrecker, trying to ruin your relationship with your fiancée.”

"My fiancée and I have absolutely no feelings for each other, so how could you have ruined our relationship?" Mu Sen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and walked towards the French windows. "I haven't seen my fiancée in almost 10 years. Tell me, what feelings do we have for each other?"

Hearing that she didn't reply, he continued, "Yu Nian was an arranged marriage between my grandfather and me when we were children. I have never acknowledged this marriage, so the title of 'fiancée' is invalid with me. Do you understand what I mean?"

It turns out his fiancée's name is Yu Nian...

"I hope you're not lying to me." Lu Siqi pursed her lips, her eyes showing a hint of gloom and stubbornness. "Being friends with benefits is fine, but I will never be a third party in anyone's marriage."

Having grown up in a compound, she was bound by certain moral principles.

Because her grandfather had always told her: the Lu family should be role models for the public and must never do anything morally depraved.

If Grandpa finds out that she's having sex with a man in Bangnan, he'll probably be very disappointed in her.

Mu Sen understood her insistence. After all, given her personality, being able to have sex with him was already a breakthrough. "I, Lin Chen, swear to God that I did not deceive you, Lu Siqi. If there is even a half-lie in what I just said, may I never be able to get an erection again."

"Would you believe me if I said that?"

What was supposed to be a very serious conversation was tainted by his oath, which introduced a sexual element.

Lu Siqi's ears burned from listening to him, and she couldn't continue the call: "It's late, go to sleep early."

"I want to hold you while I sleep." His tone suddenly turned low, like feathers brushing against my ear: "What about you? Do you miss me?"

"..." She couldn't bring herself to say something so cheesy. "Go to sleep early."

"I can't sleep." She pressed a button, and the electric curtains closed automatically. She sat back down on the sofa. "How can you sleep?"

"I'm sleepy," she lied, because she wasn't sleepy at all.

During her two days in Huaguifang, she witnessed filth she had never seen before, escaped from a hail of bullets, and Gao Xi was still in the intensive care unit. Although she had just met her, it was still a human life at stake. How could she possibly sleep peacefully?

"Go to sleep early if you're tired." For the first time, Mu Sen didn't force her to stay with him. "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Pick her up?

Does this mean he will be carrying out all the missions under the identity of Lin Chen?
