Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Where There’s Something Abnormal, There Must Be a Demon

Su Wanxin’s coquettish behavior, in Fu Shihan’s eyes, has several levels.

One is speaking in a softer tone, with words that ooze flattery.

She has been avoiding intimacy with him for some time. Why the sudden change? Does she want to leave tomorrow and never let him see her again?

"I’m a coward, afraid that the sweet date you offer has an aphrodisiac hidden in it, consuming it would lead to trouble."

She cried.

Let her go? Impossible.

"No."

Mu Xinghan was right about one thing; sometimes she is frighteningly rational. No matter what, she never forgets to leave a way out for herself.

"No one else, don’t be tense, I won’t laugh at you."

"Has Mu Xinghan brainwashed you again?"

He pulls her to sit on the sofa, observing her abnormal behavior.

The more he does this, the more Su Wanxin can’t help herself.

"Being bullied?" Fu Shihan softens his voice. "Pat the dog’s head and tell me what happened."

Fu Shihan picks her up and walks to the bedroom, tossing his coat aside. When he turns back to look at her, she is already curled up into a ball, hiding under the blanket.

These four situations escalate depending on how guilty she feels.

Her eyes are slightly red, he doesn’t know if she has cried at home.

Feeling his return, Su Wanxin wraps herself in the blanket, extending her hand through a gap to grab onto his clothes, her voice quivering as if about to cry.

She can’t help but complain and vent, but her panicked mind retains a sliver of rationality.

"I’m scared."

"Mu Xinghan says he has a way to save me, my body will get better, but I would still end up hurting you."

Two is buying gifts for him, specifically choosing those meant for couples.

"What are you afraid of?" Fu Shihan pulls back a corner of the blanket, lying beside her.

If possible, he’d like to install a surveillance device on her. To be able to know what she’s doing and saying to others 24 hours a day.

She’s had a lowly life, bullied since childhood in the orphanage. After all the twists and turns, there were only a few people who were kind to her, and he was the one with no bottom line.

He gently lifts her chin to make her look at him, his tone indulgent and doting, allowing her to do whatever she wants.

But he knows too well that something abnormal is a sign of trouble.

Fu Shihan is tormented to no end by her. Even though he was the first to get angry, in the end, it is still he who backs down first.

Su Wanxin asks softly, and with a heavy sigh and resignation, Fu Shihan says, "Wan God, please, spare me."

Three is throwing herself into his arms, offering kisses and hugs, saying nice things to cheer him up, and not resisting when he takes the slightest advantage.

"I don’t want to, I can’t today."

He refuses coldly, causing Su Wanxin’s body to stiffen slightly, her demeanor even more disappointed.

This is not how you play with someone; this is even worse than asking for her life.

"I’m afraid I’ll hurt you one day."

One second they give her hope, telling her she doesn’t need to die.

The next second they drive her to despair, saying the one who might die is him.

Four, is as it is now.

"They all say I will hurt you, but I don’t want to."

She knows she shouldn’t say these things to Fu Shihan, she knows what the consequences would be. But she has also thought about how to proceed if it turns out to be true.

"So you want me to go now?"

She could endure when she first came back, back then he wasn’t like this to her. He spoke coldly, his eyes full of disgust. Although she was in pain, she was not entangled.

He pulls her wrist, gripping it neither too lightly nor too tightly.

Fu Shihan only takes in the first half of her sentence, a fleeting joy appearing in his eyes.
