Wu Chengyue stood up from the couch and walked to Lin Qiao’s side, looking at her as he said, “Are you avoiding me?”
Lin Qiao had coldly asked him to leave, but he sensitively grasped something that was not usual from her speaking tone.
Lin Qiao’s eyelashes shook slightly. She took a small step sideways, then raised her eyes and gave him a glance while saying, “Why would I avoid you? Chief Wu, I think you’re overthinking.”
He always came to her private place without invitation. She was still, unhappy about it. However, she didn’t know when she had stopped feeling repulsion toward that.
During the past few days, her feelings for Wu Chengyue had changed drastically, and that made her feel more and more uneasy. It seemed that she had gotten used to see him being around her. That feeling invaded her mind like a virus, being accepted by her slowly.
Currently, once Wu Chengyue’s vibe come near her, she would have a sense of crisis, as if she was targeted by a hunter. Before, she and him were both hunters, but she now felt as if she had become the prey.
“Yeah? Why did you step back then? You have started to accept me, haven’t you? Why wouldn’t you admit…” Wu Chengyue sighed, then smiled proudly and bitterly. He believed that she had already started to accept him bit by bit deep down. However, her heart was controlled by her sanity. She was too rational to show any slight weakness of hers.
It looked like that he was now in the hunter’s position, but in fact, he was her prey every sine he fell for her.
In the world of love, the one who fell in love first would always be at a disadvantage.
Lin Qiao turned and brushed past him, heading toward the balcony.
“Maybe you have misunderstood. I have not accepted you,” she said blandly.
Wu Chengyue followed her to the balcony and said helplessly, “How on earth will you accept me? You don’t even like Lin Hao, do you?”
He finally figured it out. Lin Hao and her were putting up a show together! They seemed to be close with each other, but Wu Chenyue had sensitively detected that they weren’t like lovers. Instead, they were more like brother and sister, or old friends.
Lin Qiao blinked as she leaned on the guardrail, looking into the darkness.
“Why do you want me to accept you so much? I don’t want to change my life,” she looked into the distance and said.
Wu Chengyue walked to her side and erased the helpless look in his eyes as he said with a smile, “Because you have to be responsible for me! Not to mention the first time… the second time… Well, that didn’t happen under my will either! Besides, I am the father of your baby. If I don’t keep an eye on you, you might run away with the baby! Where should I go and find you if that happened?”
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say.
She couldn’t think of any words to argue with him! She wanted so much to punch the previous owner of her body. Why on earth did she leave her such trouble to deal with!
So, the second time… Alright, that was partially her fault. She failed to discipline Viney well and ended up letting her do something like that. As her parent, she did need to take responsibility for that!
Thinking about that made her feel exhausted.
She turned and looked at Wu Chengyue’s fake-smiling face. She couldn’t help but wonder why the world gave her a chance to relive her life. Did God bring her back to life so this man could find her and never stop bothering her?
She thought for a moment, then tried to mention the disgusting past of the previous owner of her body to make him give up. “About what I’ve done before… Eh, are you okay with all of it? Do you actually want to be with someone like me? You have better choices really. There’re a lot of pretty women in Sea City Base, right? They’re beautiful and innocent, not like me. Why do you waste your time on me?”
He was surrounded by pretty ladies… Meng Yue, Moli, and the female space possessor, they were all beautiful girls. Was the man blind? Why on earth did he like Lu Tianyu, who was basically a sl*t?
Wu Chengyue blinked, then said with a faint smile, “Everyone has to bear the consequences of the things that they’ve done. I don’t care what kind of person you used to be. I only want the current you.”
At first, he was indeed uncomfortable about what Lu Tianyu did before. However, over time, he learned about the new her and that her body had been renewed, which she herself didn’t know yet. For those reasons, he slowly forgot about her past.
Besides, he fell for the zombie lady and not Lu Tianyu from Sea City Base. What happened in the past should be forgotten. Why would he care so much about that?
Also, he hadn’t won her heart yet! What right did he have to judge her for her past?
On hearing his words, Lin Qiao suffered a headache. She wanted to bury her face in her hands, but didn’t let herself. Instead, she said with a frown, “Do you have principles or not?”
‘How awful is his taste in women? I can’t believe he actually likes Lu Tianyu…’ she thought.
Lin Qiao had no idea that her body had been purified and regenerated. She thought it was still the old body of Lu Tianyu that had the marks left by all kinds of men.
Wu Chengyue abruptly reached out a hand to hold her chin. Lin Qiao tilted her head and dodged. But in the next second, Wu Chengyue pressed both hands on her shoulders and leaned his entire body toward her. Meanwhile, he turned and pressed her against the guardrail.
The fake smile on his face was gone. In the darkness, his face wasn’t clearly seen. However, his eyes glowed brightly as he said to her, “My principle is that the girl who had sex with me is my wife. I’m pursuing my wife. What’s wrong about that?”
While speaking, he raised a hand and held her chin, slightly raising his thumb and stroking across her lips. Her lips were soft and elastic against his finger. He enjoyed that feeling and wanted for more.
“What the hell is that?” Lin Qiao said with a click of her tongue and said, “This is the post-apocalyptic era, not the ancient time when a girl had to marry the man who accidentally saw her nude,” Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and raised an arm to slap his hand off her chin.
‘How dare you try to flirt with me! If you want to talk, just talk! Don’t make any unwanted moves!’ she complained in her head.
Wu Chengyue stared at her lips as his eyes turned slightly darker. With his hands on her shoulders, he said, “No matter what, I’m yours already. Don’t even think about abandoning me and being with another man.”
‘You are mine too. No one else would have a chance with you !’ he finished his speech in his heart.
He laid himself upon Lin Qiao, but not too heavily. He could feel her slightly bulging belly.
Lin Qiao pushed him away as she looked at him and said, “Enough! You should spend more time worrying about Ling Ling now.”
While speaking, she walked past him, back into the living room, then slammed the balcony door shut.
