Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Why are you in my room?

Yun Qiao almost instinctively locked the bathroom door from the inside, while simultaneously asking angrily.

But the person outside the door chuckled softly, their tone calm and collected:

"What do you think, baby?"

It's that name again...

"Baby, I've been drugged. Only you can help me now."

"...You knew perfectly well that the alcohol was bad, but you still drank it. You deserved it!"

"So, baby knew the wine was bad, but still poured it for me?"

Yun Qiao was caught off guard and choked.

Shen Suwei said casually, "Baby, I don't blame you, but you poured the wine, so you have to take responsibility, right?"

"Why should I take responsibility?"

"Are you just going to watch me suffer like this without taking responsibility?"

"Isn't Lin Qingqing at home someone who'd be happy to help you? Why don't you go ask her?"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and Yun Qiao was wondering why he wasn't saying anything.

He suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"So, you knew their plan, and you knew they wanted to take me to another woman's room while I was unconscious, but you didn't stop them?"

That voice, that tone...

Yun Qiao secretly realized something was wrong.

He seems genuinely angry.

Yun Qiao swallowed hard, just about to say something to clear her name.

The bathroom door was suddenly opened from the outside.

Yun Qiao: ?!

Wasn't the door locked?

How did you open it?

Is Shen Suwei some kind of ghost?!

While she was still in shock, Yun Qiao looked up and met Shen Suwei's bloodshot eyes.

She was startled: "You..."

Just now, through the door, Yunqiao heard him speak slowly and leisurely, and thought he was alright.

Now that I've met him in person, I realize how incredibly patient this man is.

His face was so red, and even the veins on his neck were bulging, yet he was still able to stand outside and chat with her just now...

"Baby, how should I punish you?"

He pulled Yun Qiao, who was still wrapped in a bath towel, into his arms, his voice soft and now unrestrainedly hoarse.

As they got closer, his hot breath sprayed onto her neck, making her tremble involuntarily.

This reaction seemed to please him; he gently nuzzled Yun Qiao's neck with the tip of his nose and chuckled softly in a hoarse voice:

Why is my baby always so sensitive?

"Should we do it in the bathroom today—"

"Snap—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qiao slapped him so hard that his face turned to the side.

He stopped talking.

The air was silent for a few seconds before he moved again, turning his head to look at Yun Qiao with a deep gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"Hit me?"

Although Yun Qiao was timid, she still pretended to be calm and said some harsh words:

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll hit you again."

He gazed at her intently for a long time, then suddenly chuckled softly, his eyes fixed on her.

"Where should we hit?"

"?"

"Baby, where do you want to be hit?"

He moved closer to her, forcing her step by step back to the edge of the sink. He braced his hands on the sink, trapping her between himself and the sink.

"Baby--"

"Snap—"

Another slap, this time louder than the last.

Yun Qiao used all her strength.

Shen Suwei's right cheek instantly turned red, and the fingerprints were very obvious.

He tilted his head slightly and saw his somewhat swollen face in the mirror behind Yun Qiao. Instead of being angry, he smiled, a smile tinged with excitement:

"Baby, want to play a game?"

"I don't--"

"You hit me once, I'll kiss you once, how about that?" He interrupted her without giving her a chance to refuse.

Upon hearing this rule, Yun Qiao was shocked: "Why?!"

He remained unmoved by Yun Qiao's protests, simply staring intently at her.

"You hit me twice just now, now it's my turn to kiss you."

"I said—um!"

Before Yun Qiao could finish speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

His kiss was completely unprepared; his lips pressed down heavily, as if he wanted to pour all the weight of those two slaps into it.

Yun Qiao's voice was stuck in her throat. She pushed him but couldn't move him. Instead, he picked her up and placed her on the table.

He pressed his body closer, forcing her to lean back, her head almost hitting the mirror.

Just when Yun Qiao thought he was going to stay here and make a scene.

He suddenly released her lips, his breath brushing against them, his voice hoarse with suppressed laughter:

"Baby, this is your first kiss, there's one more to come."

Yun Qiao looked at him with wide eyes and asked why he was suddenly being so kind.

I knew I shouldn't have overestimated this lousy man.

"Shen Suwei, did you drug me?"

Yun Qiao suddenly spoke, trying to divert his attention.

He paused slightly, then chuckled confidently, "Baby's so smart. But it's no use you knowing now; when you wake up tomorrow, you'll just think it was a dream."

"You're breaking the law," Yun Qiao said sternly.

"So, is the baby going to call the police and have me arrested? Or even kill me?"

He leaned closer to her, took a deep breath, and gently bit her neck. "Anything is fine with me. I won't blame you."

Anyway, he had long since given up on living.

Although he used many methods to force Yun Qiao back, her heart wasn't with him. In fact, if she knew what he had done to Li Ruoyan and the others, she would hate him even more...

Since you can't keep her, then while she's still here, you should possess her completely.

Anyway, she'll leave him sooner or later.

Once she's gone, he might as well die.

"Baby, do you want to kill me?"

He suddenly stared intently at Yun Qiao.

"Drug me, or use a knife? Or even drown me, whatever you do to me, baby, I'll love it."

Yun Qiao sensed something was off about him. Seeing the anticipation and excitement in his eyes, she nervously swallowed.

"Shen Suwei, can you please stop saying such scary things?"

"Does the baby think I'm scary?"

"Aren't you scary?"

He lowered his eyes.

He had already been very restrained before.

But Yunqiao was still afraid of him.

He always knew that she never spoke her true feelings whenever she saw him.

But he didn't know how to get Yun Qiao to treat him as naturally and casually as she treated Li Ruoyan...

"What do I have to do for you to no longer be afraid of me?"

"You... want me to be unafraid of you?"

Yun Qiao keenly sensed a trace of truth in his manic state.

He paused, then tentatively asked:

"If I tell you, will you do it?"

Shen Suwei's breath hitched, and after a long while, he looked up at her, his eyes brightening slightly:

"Baby, would you like to teach me?"

"...First of all, don't call me baby."

Why?

"Don't ask why."

He moved his lips as if to say something, but Yun Qiao interrupted him:

"Didn't you want me to be unafraid of you? Then listen to me."

"If I behave, will you like me?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Yun Qiao's eyes, but in order to appease him, she still forced herself to lie:

"certainly."

Shen Suwei looked at her, a dark glint in his eyes.

That little liar is trying to scam him again...

Okay, since she wants to play, he'll play along with her.

He gazed at her intently, then suddenly revealed a sweet, obedient smile:

"Okay, I will be good."
