Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Olivia frowned. "Still defending Jiang Yingluo?"

Weren't you feeling pretty down just now?

At this moment, Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes. Did he... not care that she was lying?

“I guess you’re here at the Ferris wheel…” Jiang Yingluo said softly, “Although I used cognitive impairment, it didn’t make you disappear. I can still recognize your figure.”

Li Xingzhou nodded, but didn't say anything more as he looked at Olivia: "I also got the Heaven's Cup, what's your answer?"

Olivia gave him a playful look: "Looking like this, I can only float back~"

After saying that, she patted Li Xingzhou on the shoulder: "Little brother, I had a wonderful night! You were delicious, you were amazing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Yingluo and turned into a cloud of blood mist, disappearing from each other's sight.

Jiang Yingluo's expression was somewhat dazed at this moment.

What a wonderful night!

Are you delicious?

You're amazing!

Olivia's voice filled her mind, and Jiang Yingluo felt her legs go weak and she could hardly stand.

What happened between Xingzhou and that woman?

On the Ferris wheel?

is it?

Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou with a pale face, and saw him raise his right hand and put his index and middle fingers together on his neck. The bloodstain on his neck disappeared instantly, and his skin returned to normal.

This made Jiang Yingluo's eyes light up. Yes, if you were to ask what the most wonderful thing is for vampires, it would undoubtedly be drinking blood.

So Xingzhou was just drained of blood by Olivia...

"Xingzhou, I..."

Jiang Yingluo strode up to Li Xingzhou, and just as she was about to grab his hand, he dodged her.

Jiang Yingluo's expression froze.

But the next second, Li Xingzhou grabbed her cold hand.

Jiang Yingluo looked up at him, but their eyes did not meet.

"Aunt Luo, let's take a walk."

······

Chapter 123 "Xingzhou, don't go back tonight, okay?"

"Aunt Luo, let's go for a walk."

Walking along the path in the amusement park, Jiang Yingluo looked down at her hand, which was being held by Li Xingzhou, recalling the tone of his voice when he said those words.

His tone was calm, lacking the joy he usually showed when he saw me.

Moreover, he hadn't made eye contact with Li Xingzhou at all during this short time.

Even though he was still holding her hand, Jiang Yingluo felt no sense of security, only nervousness.

It was like the calm before a storm, or the solemnity before the pronouncement of the judgment.

Jiang Yingluo opened her mouth several times as if to speak, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to begin.

So she could only silently let him lead her by the hand, not knowing where they were going.

Until Li Xingzhou stopped.

Jiang Yingluo looked up and realized that she had unknowingly arrived at the Lotus Lake in the amusement park.

The lake under the night sky reflected the twinkling stars, and a gentle breeze stirred up ripples.

Feeling Li Xingzhou suddenly let go of her hand, Jiang Yingluo instinctively tried to grab it, but Li Xingzhou's next words made her freeze in place.

"Aunt Luo, it turns out that the food I ate in the Jiang family courtyard on the day I returned home wasn't Olivia's tofu, but yours."

Li Xingzhou looked down at Jiang Yingluo: "You've seen me before, this isn't our first meeting in Minghuang City."

Jiang Yingluo instinctively wanted to say, "At that time, Olivia was in control of her body; I was unconscious."

But she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Putting aside the possibility that Olivia might have told him about it, what's the point of such an explanation?

Isn't this a sign of a guilty conscience?

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yingluo looked up and stared directly into Li Xingzhou's eyes: "I..."

“Today, the Heaven's Cup appeared on the back of Olivia’s hand.” Li Xingzhou interrupted Jiang Yingluo with a smile: “The Heaven's Cup is what I used to save my sister. No matter where it is or in whose hands it is, I will get it by any means necessary.”

"I just didn't expect such an unexpected gain." Li Xingzhou looked at the lake again and sighed, "When she changed into a formal suit, a pencil skirt and black stockings, I immediately felt that the outfit looked very familiar."

It looks so much like you, but it's not you.

"I thought to myself, she's the Fourth True Ancestor, she doesn't need to dress like this, so I had a sense of déjà vu."

Li Xingzhou bent down and picked up a small pebble: "When I first met Olivia, she was dressed like this. Plus, she had something on you, so I guessed that it wasn't her I met that day, but you."

Jiang Yingluo clenched her hands and quickly explained, "I didn't do it..."

"You didn't do anything to hurt me, right?"

"Ah."

"Then..." Li Xingzhou's tone changed, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Why were you so flustered when you met Olivia at the amusement park that night, hmm?"

Jiang Yingluo's expression froze for a moment, then her face gradually changed, becoming flustered.

"It's just a small matter, isn't it?" Li Xingzhou smiled again: "Back then at my house, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, we got along quite well, didn't we?"

So what were you panicking about that night?

Hearing Li Xingzhou's voice, Jiang Yingluo's face grew even paler.

She finally realized where she had gone wrong.

What he was always afraid of was that Olivia would reveal the truth about her body, but he overlooked the fact that although he and Olivia had a conflict when they were on a boat at Jiang's residence, their relationship was not strained after the misunderstanding was cleared up.

I overlooked this point, the most important point.

It was precisely because this most important point was overlooked that the subsequent contact with him, blind dates, falling in love, and establishing a relationship became a lie.

A lie orchestrated by Olivia to deliberately approach Li Xingzhou.

Therefore, in Xingzhou's eyes at this moment, his panic when he faced Olivia at the amusement park that night became evidence of his ulterior motives!

Even if Li Xingzhou felt he hadn't done anything yet, does harboring malicious intentions mean he wasn't malicious?

For a young man like Li Xingzhou, who possesses extraordinary abilities, there's certainly no time for grudges to linger.

Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou and reached out to grasp his large hand: "Are you willing to listen to me?"

Before Li Xingzhou could speak, she continued, holding him tightly, "Olivia and I do have a partnership, and within that partnership there is an agreement that she will possess me to protect me in times of crisis. I believe you can understand that."

I'm sorry for keeping the fact that I've known you for a long time a secret from you, but it's true.

Jiang Yingluo took a deep breath: "Olivia did contact me, wanting to use me to do something to you, but I refused outright. So, regardless of the secret I revealed to you that night in Minghuang City because I was emotional..."

She grabbed Li Xingzhou's large hand and placed it on her heart, her tone urgent yet earnest: "Whether it's getting to know each other better later or not, it's all my own thought, absolutely without a trace of pretense!"

"Xingzhou, are you willing to believe me?"

Seeing Jiang Yingluo's tearful yet determined gaze, Li Xingzhou decided to slightly revise his original plan.

How could anyone bear to hurt Aunt Luo with that expression?

Even if it's for Sister Tang's sake, the methods used should be gentler.

Li Xingzhou withdrew his right hand from Jiang Yingluo's chest. Jiang Yingluo's eyes flashed with disappointment. She hesitated to speak, then lowered her head.

Yes, even if I say that, does he have to believe me?

After all, this was only his own side of the story, and Olivia had spoken first.

Preconceived 'truths' may not be accurate, but they always leave a certain impression.

Without any evidence of his own, why should he expect Li Xingzhou to believe him?

This feeling... is really unbearable.

Jiang Yingluo felt a little tearful; she hadn't even cried during the pressure of the early days of Xingchen Group...

Jiang Yingluo wanted to calm herself down, but found it a bit difficult.

But I really don't want to show my vulnerable side to Li Xingzhou...

"Aunt Luo," Li Xingzhou said slowly, observing Jiang Yingluo's expression, "I'm willing to believe you."

Ok?

Jiang Yingluo suddenly looked up, and because of the sudden movement, tears still flew from her eyes, but her expression at this moment was somewhat surprised.

"What did you say?"

“I said I’m willing to believe you.” Li Xingzhou smiled slightly: “Although it’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s false, I also want to believe in your feelings for me.”

Jiang Yingluo raised her hand to cover her red lips. Although Li Xingzhou only said "I'm willing," his sincerity was enough to make her happy.

This shows that Li Xingzhou is more willing to believe in himself than Olivia.

Olivia knows absolutely nothing about sailing!

Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but take a step forward, reaching out to hug Li Xingzhou while simultaneously pressing her red lips against his mouth.

For Jiang Yingluo at this moment, her mood had been on tenterhooks ever since Olivia appeared, and now that the final judgment had arrived, she felt a sense of happiness, like a turn of events had been made and something had been lost and then regained.

Therefore, Jiang Yingluo cherished this hard-won happiness all the more at this moment, and thus she was particularly greedy during their deep kiss.

She gripped Li Xingzhou's sleeve tightly with both hands, wishing she could meld herself into his arms.

Li Xingzhou gently put his arm around Jiang Yingluo's slender waist. Even through her clothes, he could feel that Jiang Yingluo's waist was both plump and smooth like a young girl's. Although it was slightly wider than Jiang Xuetang's, it accentuated her full hip curves, making her figure even more exquisite and graceful, breathtaking.

The curves that combined the allure of a young woman with the charm of a mature woman made Li Xingzhou's large hands unconsciously apply a little more pressure, carefully caressing every inch of soft skin, feeling the dramatic changes in curves from the slender waist to the hips.
