Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli's eyes widened involuntarily.

She looked at the man's excessively handsome yet menacing face and spoke in a trembling voice.

"You...you gave me poison?"

Yu Chen chuckled lightly and said slowly, "What else did you think it was?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli frantically reached into her throat, trying to pry the pill out.

However, the next second, his hand was grabbed.

Driven by her instinctive will to survive, Su Wuli struggled to break free of her grip.

"Don't move."

It was still delivered in a commanding tone.

Her movements stopped abruptly.

Although she was prepared to die there, she was still afraid when it actually happened.

Su Wuli looked at him helplessly and pleaded, "I...I'm just an ordinary person...please..."

"Afraid of death?" Yu Chen asked slowly.

"I'm scared," Su Wuli nodded in response.

As soon as she finished speaking, her chin was slightly lifted by his fingertips.

"If you're scared, why did you dare call me a murderer just now?"

Su Wuli's face paled. In fact, she couldn't remember what she had said when she lost control.

wrong……

She was stunned. She clearly remembered that in the past, this would end with her fainting, but not today.

Moreover, the cold body gradually warmed up.

Without time to think, her survival instincts compelled Su Wuli to quickly explain.

"I'm sorry, I lost control just now, I might have said something offensive, I'm so sorry..."

"Offend..." Yu Chen uttered the two words meaningfully, then leaned closer.

Su Wuli's chin was lifted by him, forcing her to tilt her head back and look at the man so close to her.

His thin lips slowly parted and closed, "I don't need poison to kill you..."

After saying that, Yu Chen released her chin and then stepped back.

Su Wuli paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Looking at the man standing by the bed, she tentatively asked, "It's not poison?"

Yu Chen glanced at her from the side, but before he could speak, a sound came from outside.

"Your Highness, the people in the prison still refuse to—"

"shut up."

Before the person outside could finish speaking, Yu Chen suddenly stopped him with a shout.

Despite being interrupted, Su Wuli could easily imagine what was happening.

The scene from just now reappeared in my mind.

Her brows furrowed involuntarily, but strangely, the nausea wasn't as intense as before.

It was as if something inside my body was suppressing me, a strange calm.

"Lie down," Yu Chen's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli snapped out of her thoughts and met his gaze.

Thinking back to how I was forced to stop because I lost control of my emotions...

Think back to how hard you put your strength into buttoning it.

She subconsciously bit the soft flesh inside her lip; what was bound to happen would eventually happen, there was no escaping it.

She took a deep breath and resignedly lay down, her hands slightly clenching the remaining brocade quilt.

She closed her eyes, but instead of the expected warmth, a soft quilt was placed over her.

Um?

She opened her eyes and looked at the man who was standing on the edge of the bed, looking down at her with some surprise.

He withdrew his hand and stood up straight.

Su Wuli lay there watching him, her expression hesitant and unspeakable.

The next moment, under her gaze, Yu Chen leaned down and placed his hands on the bed.

Su Wuli's hand tightened instinctively, and she dared not move.

Yu Chen's gaze swept over her, and he spoke with a hint of deeper meaning, "I didn't intend to play you to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wuli paused, clearly understanding what he meant by "playing".

She met his gaze, even though she was dressed and covered by a blanket.

Kiriko, however, always felt that he had stripped her naked.

Those shameful images flooded back uncontrollably, and she instinctively shrank her neck under the covers, her gaze darting away.

It was as if this would block his gaze.

Then he turned and left.

With Yu Chen's departure, Su Wuli's tense nerves relaxed.

Even though it was an unfamiliar bed, danger lurked all around.

She drifted off to sleep, still half asleep.

I woke up in my apartment, and my pajamas were intact.

Su Wuli stared blankly at the ceiling for a long while.

My mind is a complete mess.

He didn't even touch her.

Before she could think too much about it, her phone rang.

Lin Liwen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you up?"

"Yes, I just got up." Su Wuli said, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Then get ready, I'll come pick you up in a bit."

"it is good."

She didn't dare to delay after hanging up the phone, as she had a magazine photoshoot today.

At nine o'clock, Lin Liwen appeared on time.

Before setting off, she leaned closer and whispered, "How is it?"

"Hmm?" Su Wuli asked, puzzled.

Before she could even ask, Lin Liwen reached out and put her hand on her neck.

Her voice rose a few decibels, "Where's the jade Buddha the master gave me?"

Su Wuli looked at her without saying anything.

That was completely useless, so she stopped carrying it.

Lin Liwen quickly realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "That thing... didn't work?"

"Mm." Su Wuli nodded.

"No wonder you look so pale?" Lin Liwen frowned.

She immediately stepped forward and pulled open her shirt collar. "What? There's nothing there?"

Su Wuli knew what she was talking about.

Actually, yes, Yu Chen didn't touch her last night, but he left a lot of marks in the bathhouse beforehand.

She just covered it all up with concealer, otherwise it would definitely have been noticed during today's shoot.

"That ghost..." Lin Liwen paused as she spoke.

Her gaze swept around the house, as if there were other things there.

He then lowered his voice and asked, "That thing didn't touch you?"

"Not last night," Su Wuli shook her head.

"So... will he hear what we're saying now?" Lin Liwen asked warily, completely lacking the confidence she had before in taking him in.

Su Wuli thought for a moment, "They probably can't hear it."

After saying that, Lin Liwen breathed a sigh of relief and then continued.

"Wu Li, your male ghost cultivation is probably too high. The master I hired is very famous, and I spent a lot of money, but..."

As she spoke, a look of worry crept onto her face, and she murmured, "Even this can't subdue him... what can we do?"

"Sister Wen," Su Wuli called out to her.

Lin Liwen snapped out of her daze and quickly reassured her, "Don't be afraid, if this master doesn't work out, I'll find another one."

Seeing the worry in the other person's eyes, Su Wuli felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "Mm."

It was different back then; no one offered a helping hand.

At least now there are people who are worried about her.

After composing themselves, the two headed to the filming location.

The proposal was spread out on the table.

The page about "deep-sea mermaids" was highlighted with a bright highlighter.

The photographer was brimming with excitement, "Wu Li, this is going to be a huge hit! It suits you perfectly, it's a major breakthrough."

"Will there be any danger?" Lin Liwen asked from the side.

"Don't worry, we have lifeguards on site, there won't be any problems," the magazine's editor said, then looked at Su Wuli, "Wuli, are you afraid of water?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli shook her head, "It's alright, it should be acceptable."
