Su Huan quickly turned her head away, her eyes widening as she looked at him with a guarded expression, 'What are you going to do?' 'What do you think?' Gu Beixian pinched her delicate chin, saying nonchalantly, 'Anyway, it's not to discuss advanced mathematics problems with you.' Su Huan placed her fingers against his chin, preventing him from getting closer to her lips, and said seriously, 'You said you wanted a divorce.' 'You also said you wouldn't divorce me in the hospital today.' 'I was just trying to annoy Chu Suosuo.' His deep, dark eyes watched her intently, 'I took it seriously.' Su Huan lowered her eyelashes, 'I don't want to do this with you right now.' Gu Beixian raised an eyebrow slightly, 'Who was seducing me just now?' 'I wasn't, I was just, I...' Su Huan suddenly didn't know how to express herself. In her urgency, her face turned red again. Not just her face, but her neck and wrists were also tinged with a light layer of red from the hot water, like bright crabapples scattered on white snow. Her elegance mixed with charm, pure yet sensual, was irresistible. Gu Beixian pressed his lips against hers, silencing her, his thumb gently rubbing her soft lips, 'You're quite enticing right now.' Enticing? Su Huan was momentarily distracted, not expecting to be associated with such a charming word. She stepped back, her watery big eyes looking at him, 'Could you please go out first?' Gu Beixian's fingers lifted the hair that had fallen over her face, tucking it behind her ear, and said softly, 'Let's go out together.'

Without waiting for Su Huan's response, he bent down to lift her out of the water, soaking wet, and turned on the shower to rinse off the foam from her body. He wrapped her in a large towel and carried her into the bedroom like a child. He placed her on the bed and carefully moved her injured hand above her head. He leaned over, gently biting her chin, and started kissing along her collarbone, his kisses meticulous. Su Huan's body couldn't withstand his seduction, but her heart resisted. She pushed him away with her uninjured hand. But he was too strong, and her feeble efforts to resist only seemed to increase his pleasure... Afterwards. Su Huan panted softly and said, 'Aren't you fond of promiscuity? Why do you still touch someone like me?' Gu Beixian didn't understand her awkwardness and pinched her waist casually, saying, 'You were quite wanton just now, I liked it very much.' His tone rose at the end, sounding a bit lecherous. Su Huan didn't believe the flirtatious words men say in bed. She looked up at his beautiful jawline, thinking: Men are indeed a miraculous creature; they can love one person without hindering them from sleeping with another. Women can't do that; if they don't love in their hearts, their bodies cannot accept it. Gu Beixian's hand slid down her back, encircling her waist, his chin rubbing against her hair, and said, 'My mother's birthday is at the end of the month. You're not working recently, so come over for dinner tonight. It's good to be lively, you're too quiet by nature.' The speaker was indifferent, but the listener took it to heart. A ripple arose in Su Huan's heart, and she asked, 'Being too quiet, am I quite boring?'

Gu Beixian thought for a moment and said, 'No, actually you're quite interesting. That seduction act just now, I could laugh about it for a year.' 'I'll hit you,' Su Huan gently punched his chest. Gu Beixian laughed and held her hand, 'What I mean is, you're so young, you should be full of vitality. It's not good for your body and mind to be too restrained.' 'Okay, I'll go buy a birthday gift for mom tomorrow. What should I get her?' 'Anything will do, maybe a bag. She likes bags.' 'Hmm.' The two lay quietly for more than ten minutes. Gu Beixian picked up her injured hand and examined it carefully, asking, 'Did you hurt your hand just now?' 'No.' 'How about your leg, does it ache?' Su Huan moved her leg and said, 'It aches.' 'I'll rub it for you.' He lifted the blanket, took one of her legs, and started gently massaging it, starting from the calf to the thigh, his technique quite skilled. Su Huan was extremely sensitive to his touch. After just a few rubs, her face turned red, her heart sped up, her breathing quickened, and her body gradually warmed up. She had married him the first time they met. For the first two years, he couldn't stand on his legs and was in a bad temper. No matter how handsome his face was, it was hard to love him when he was always gloomy. Back then, her main motivation was to repay his kindness. She truly fell in love with him in the past year. For her, she was still in the honeymoon phase, which was unfortunately cut short by his words, 'Let's separate.' She felt a bit sad inside, and her eyes unconsciously clouded over with a layer of mist. Gu Beixian didn't know what she was thinking, looking at her tearful eyes, he remembered how seriously she had just tried to seduce him and got interested again, saying, 'Two negatives make a positive. If your leg is sore, we can do it again, and it won't be sore anymore.'

Su Huan always felt that his logic was twisted. But he didn't give her time to think carefully, and pressed on again... The phone suddenly rang. However, men at such times are not in the mood to answer calls. With one hand holding Su Huan's soft waist, his other hand reached for the bedside table, his fingers casually swiped the phone, and the ringing stopped abruptly. He thought he had hung up, but actually he had accidentally pressed the answer button. On the other end of the phone, Chu Suosuo, with her ears perked up, heard a series of coquettish whispers coming from the phone. The voice was so seductive it made one's scalp tingle. She felt so blocked inside, as if someone had stuffed a cactus into her, stinging painfully. She listened with gritted teeth for a while, then hung up in a huff, threw the phone onto the sofa, and said to Hua Qirou angrily, 'Mom, I want to kill Su Huan.' Hua Qirou stared at her splinted left hand, then touched her own nose, and said hatefully, 'I want to kill her too.' 'Any news on that person named Huang Que?' 'I found out, she was sold to a poor mountainous area in the northwest. It's a place with harsh mountains and bad waters, where the locals are fierce, there's no phone signal, and even electricity is unavailable. She will be forced to have many children, and if she tries to escape, her legs will be broken, she will be tormented to madness, and she will never be able to leave there for the rest of her life.' Chu Suosuo nodded, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes, 'I want to sell Su Huan to that place too, can you contact that human trafficker?' Hua Qirou's emotions suddenly became agitated, 'No! You must not act rashly!' Chu Suosuo gritted her teeth, 'But seeing her being intimate with Brother Beixian makes me so annoyed!'

“Su's dead girl, as soon as your hand got injured, it was smashed into a comminuted fracture by someone two days later. The man who smashed your hand is blatantly warning you not to mess with Su Huan, otherwise your fate will be worse than hers. Before we catch that man, you better not touch Su Huan, understand?”

Chu Suosuo frowned irritably, “Who the hell is that man? It’s been so many days, why haven’t they caught him yet?”

“That man is very cunning. The police sent out a team and searched for more than ten days overnight, but they couldn’t find him. There’s only a blurry photo of his back, not even enough for an arrest warrant. Your dad and brother also sent people to look for him, but there were no results.”

Chu Suosuo rubbed her swollen temples and said impatiently, “Did someone check Su Huan’s call records?”

“Yes, there were only a few people in her call records, and no suspicious targets were found. Looking at Su Huan, she probably doesn’t know who it is either.”

Chu Suosuo sneered, “From what you’re saying, is that man playing the role of a silent guardian behind the scenes?”

“It seems so, I don’t know what he wants either.” Hua Qirou said with a disdainful curl of her lips.

Chu Suosuo mocked, “A country bumpkin, and he actually has such a loyal lapdog. Is that man blind? What does he see in Su Huan? Apart from having a decent face and being able to restore ancient paintings, what does she have? She’s like a wooden lump.”

The wooden doll-like Su Huan in her mouth was tormented by Gu Beixian tonight. She lay in his arms as if she had no bones, exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Gu Beixian got up to take a shower. He came back and lay down beside her, propping his palm on his chin, staring at her quiet and gentle little face for a long time. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly, whispering, "If you call out for your brother A Yao in your dreams tonight, I will really be angry."
