At the same time, a scary quietness covered the whole island because there were no other tourists. The occasional sound of wind blowing and sea waves striking the rocks seemed sudden and mysterious.

Even Xu Youning, who was proud of her courage, felt frightened and went back to the house quickly.

Su Jianan wasn’t frightened. She had observed a corpse in a weirder environment, so there were few things in the world that could scare her.

Lu Boyan came back and saw Su Jianan sitting in front of the window and looking outward. He went over and found complete darkness in the sea outside the window. What was she looking at?

He pulled Su Jianan up, lowered his head into her neck and smelled it, where he detected a delicate fragrance. It was the scent of Su Jianan’s usual bath lotion.

Then he lifted his head to look at her and asked, “Have you washed already?”

Su Jianan nodded and pointed at the bathroom. “I’ve got your pajamas there.”

Lu Boyan curled his lips and gently kissed Su Jianan’s. “Thank you, dear. Would you do me another favor and shower with me?”

“...” Su Jianan nervously pointed at her underbelly. “They can hear you now. Are you sure you want to do that in front of them?”

Lu Boyan kept silent for a minute, then he said calmly, “It will be fine for me to teach my sons a lesson ahead of time.”

Su Jianan retorted, “... And what if they are two daughters?”

Lu Boyan pretended to be serious while saying, “If they are daughters, then I think you have taught them how to protect themselves during these months.”

“...” Su Jianan was totally speechless.

After a couple of minutes, Lu Boyan finished showering and found Su Jianan still sitting in front of the window and looking outside.

He finally noticed something abnormal. He heated up a glass of milk in the microwave, gave it to Su Jianan, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Jianan thought for a minute and then shook her head. “Nothing.”

She thought she shouldn’t tell Lu Boyan about Xu Youning’s strange behavior. Lu Boyan knew less about Xu Youning than her, so he couldn’t have an answer for it.

Lu Boyan didn’t insist on asking. He was sure that if it was something that needed to be settled by him, Su Jianan would tell him directly.

He urged Su Jianan, “Hurry up and drink the milk. It’s time to sleep now.”

As the babies developed further, Su Jianan slept earlier and earlier. Just a short while after she drank the milk and lay in bed, a deep sleepiness surrounded her and she fell asleep unguarded.

Lu Boyan held Su Jianan from behind, and after he felt her breath become smooth and stable, he too closed his eyes to sleep.

Quietness and coziness covered the whole cabin.

In contrast, another cabin, which was only one road away, was far from quiet.

Having realized that she had been used by Mu Sijue, Xu Youning didn’t complain. Anyway, she didn’t get close to Mu Sijue with a good attitude. Now that she was used, she couldn’t blame others.

But there was another thing she couldn’t accept no matter what—Mu Sijue let her become one of his women probably because he just wanted to take revenge on her.

That was to say, Mu Sijue had no interest in her at all. Only when he was conquering her body could Mu Sijue achieve the sense of satisfaction.

She was so mean and low that she couldn’t even see herself!

Therefore, the minute she went back to the cabin, Xu Youning started thinking about how to end this improper relationship with Mu Sijue. But before she could find a solution, the door was pushed open. Mu Sijue was back.

Compared with Lu Boyan’s consideration, Mu Sijue was difficult to serve. The minute he came back, he ordered, “I want to take a shower. Prepare my clothes for me.”

Xu Youning didn’t move but asked, “Mu Sijue, you’re asking me in which status?”

Mu Sijue frowned. “As your boss.” After stopping for a minute, he continued, “Xu Youning, if you continue this nonsense, you’re seeking death.”

It was natural for an employee to prepare something for her boss.

With this thought, Xu Youning quickly prepared the bathing products for Mu Sijue and carefully closed the door when she left the bathroom.

Mu Sijue washed very quickly; it only took him less than 15 minutes. He rubbed his hair and walked out of the bathroom. Then he found Xu Youning sitting on the couch thinking about something with her legs crossed.

He walked up to Xu Youning and asked, “How much time do you want to waste? Go to bed!”

Xu Youning widened her eyes slightly and looked at Mu Sijue. “In which status are you ordering me again?”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and beamed out dangerous lights. “As your man. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

This time, Xu Youning didn’t move.

She stared at Mu Sijue for quite a while, and then she said seriously, “Mu Sijue, from now on, I’m not your woman... one of your women. So, you can ask me to do things for you, but you can’t decide the things about how I sleep.”

If Xu Youning didn’t look so serious, Mu Sijue might have even thought that he had heard it wrong.

From now on, not his woman anymore? Could help him with work? But he couldn’t control her private life?

Mu Sijue was so angry that he smiled and said, “Xu Youning, repeat your words again.”

“You haven’t understood?” Xu Youning repeated in annoyance, “I said that I want to end that kind of relationship with you!”

“Our relationship is quite complicated.” Mu Sijue asked emotionlessly, “Tell me clearly which relationship you are talking about?”

“The physical relationship!” Xu Youning had no choice but to scream, “Is it clear to you now?”

Mu Sijue smiled coldly, and then coldness spread all over his handsome face as he said, “Very well.”

Xu Youning was confused.

Very well? Was Mu Sijue saying okay or planning to kill her?

Before she thought of an answer, Xu Youning suddenly felt a pull on her arm. She was lifted up from the couch, and Mu Sijue got close to her with a dangerous aura. “Xu Youning, how long have you been thinking about this?”

“N-not too long,” Xu Youning said with little confidence. “Well, just, a moment ago.”

“It only took you a moment to be with me. And also a moment’s time to leave?” Mu Sijue’s tone was even colder.

“Aren’t all the decisions made in a moment’s time?” Xu Youning fluttered her eyelashes and explained seriously, “No matter how long one has considered something before, it only takes a moment to make a decision. But, the time I have spent is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I have decided!”

“Xu Youning, who gave you so much courage?”

Every word of Mu Sijue revealed the atmosphere of danger. His hand, which was covered with blue veins, almost caught Xu Youning’s throat. But in the end, he kissed her fiercely.

It was like a punishing kiss that would take all of Xu Youning’s strength away. Mu Sijue’s kiss was so forceful and fierce and his strength was so powerful that it seemed like it would end Xu Youning’s life.

At that moment, Xu Youning was 100 percent certain that she would die—in Mu Sijue’s hands.

She struggled and fought back but she was helpless when facing Mu Sijue. At last, she made up her mind and bit so hard on Mu Sijue’s lips that it bled, but Mu Sijue still didn’t let go of her. The bloody taste spread in both of their mouths.

They hadn’t kissed many times. But almost all of them were bloody.

Xu Youning thought ironically that it was like their hostile relationship. One day, war and blood would spread between them.

Some time passed by, and Mu Sijue’s plunder slowed down. Xu Youning panted greedily for fresh air. She didn’t even have enough strength to push Mu Sijue away.

Mu Sijue freed her and asked word by word, “Xu Youning, what makes you think that you could come to me and leave as you like?”

“I don’t want to continue this relationship anymore.” Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue’s eyes and answered word by word, “Mu Sijue, do you know how much reproach I have to face when I’m with you? At first, there were people who suspected our improper relations, so you took me with you. But now, you take me into your house all the time, and made out with me in front of Zhao Yinghong. Now it’s confirmed that we have improper relations. They can insult me as they like.”

“...”

“At the beginning, I thought I wouldn’t care about it as long as I was with you. But then I realized I had been wrong. It was too difficult. I couldn’t stand the assaults and rumors, but I don’t want to be their enemy at the same time. So I want to end that relationship with you.”

Mu Sijue definitely knew that wasn’t the real reason. Xu Youning was never afraid of having enemies. And those who talked her behind back had been handled by Ah Guang.

The reason why she wanted an end so suddenly was that she remembered Kang Ruicheng, not that she was about to leave.

Mu Sijue couldn’t stand either of the reasons.

Mu Sijue’s face was dark as he said, “Xu Youning, shut your mouth now. I can pretend that I have heard nothing. This is your last chance.”

“Mu Sijue, why are you acting like this?” Instead of shutting up, Xu Youning said even more. “You have had a lot of women. According to the speed at which you change the women around you, I should be replaced now. Besides, I may wrongly think that you have feelings for me if you still don’t want to let me go.”

“...” Mu Sijue’s face became even darker.

Xu Youning knew that these words would irritate Mu Sijue as she smilingly continued, “Well, I remember that you were always the one who kicked those women away. So you have never been refused by a woman before, right? Well, let’s just pretend I have said nothing. You can give me a check and kick me away. I will crawl away without a second word, okay?”

She looked so sincere and frank, which annoyed Mu Sijue more than the limitation.

Mu Sijue pushed Xu Youning backward, and she helplessly fell in bed. Before she could crawl up, Mu Sijue’s tall and strong body already held her down.

His face looked so grim and his dark eyes were filled with danger.

Xu Youning finally knew what was the word catastrophe meant.

“Mu Sijue, we are negotiating.” Xu Youning swallowed. “You’ve gone against the rules.”

“Since you want to negotiate with me, I am the one who sets the rules.” Mu Sijue curled his lips. “If you don’t pass out tonight, I will agree with you, okay?”

No matter how thick Xu Youning’s face was, she flushed at these words. She pushed Mu Sijue heavily. “Bastar... um...”

Powerful and continuous kisses fell on Xu Youning while she had no strength to resist...
