The heartless beauty is addicted to being licked by a seemingly obedient and loyal dog.

Su Shen sat on the sofa, his hands neatly placed on his knees, but his ears involuntarily perked up.

When she heard Shen Chonglu's almost shameless demands, her eyelashes trembled, and her face, hidden in the shadows, turned somewhat pale.

unacceptable.

A deity as aloof and noble as Song Yunqi should be worshipped on a pedestal by everyone, not so openly mocked by a man who spouts nonsense.

He could tell that the voice wasn't that of the rumored eldest son of the Lu family; it sounded very young, probably around his age.

They must be in a romantic relationship, right? But weren't their words a bit too offensive?

However, Song Yunxi's reaction surprised Su Shen.

Faced with Shen Chonglu's almost harassing entanglement, Song Yunxi didn't stop, but coldly uttered two words:

"no."

"Tsk, how stingy."

Shen Chonglu scratched his hair in dissatisfaction and began to complain: "You're acting so strangely. Usually, at least I can get some interest, but today you won't even let me see it."

"Song Yunqi, have you been cheating on me with other women? Haishi is a very chaotic place, don't let those shady people bewitch you."

"If you dare to cheat on me like other men, I'll hang myself on your doorstep! I'll let everyone know you're a heartless scoundrel who starts relationships and then abandons them!"

Seeing his exasperated appearance, Song Yunqi couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her tightly pressed lips, letting out a very soft, short laugh.

That smile brought him to life.

When Su Shen saw the genuine smile on Song Yunqi's face, his tense shoulders relaxed.

He suddenly realized that although the man on the other end of the video was noisy and annoying, he wasn't so bad. At least he could make Song Yunqi genuinely happy.

Unable to suppress a laugh, Su Shen also let out a very slight smile.

It was a very small and soft sound.

However, this subtle movement was still captured.

On the other end of the video call, Shen Chonglu's expression changed drastically. His previous playful demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a look of grave seriousness. He quickly moved closer to the camera, his eyes fixed on the edge of the screen.

"No, there's someone with you."

"It's a man."

His tone was resolute, and you could almost hear him gritting his teeth through the screen.

"I'm so angry! Song Yunqi, you cheated on me with another man in Haishi? No wonder you absolutely refused to let me go to Haishi with you!"

He was like a ferocious beast whose territory had been invaded, writhing violently in front of the camera, bombarding the camera with a barrage of questions:

"Turn your phone around! Let me see which shameless vixen is behind this! Hurry up!"

Song Yunxi was annoyed by the noise. She impatiently reached for her phone, turned the camera around, and aimed it at Su Shen, who was not far away.

Su Shen hadn't expected the fire to spread to him. When he looked up, he bumped into the handsome, sinister face on the screen, and instinctively shrank back in fright.

Through the screen, Shen Chonglu could see the uneasy, handsome man opposite him, dressed in thin clothes, looking pitiful.

The background is clearly a suite, with dim and ambiguous lighting, drawn curtains, and a locked door.

Something just doesn't look right.

Jealousy reached its peak at this moment; he laughed in anger, making sarcastic remarks over the phone:

"How can this pretty boy compare to me? He's barely grown any pubic hair, how could he possibly satisfy you?"

"You've cheated on me again after just a few weeks!!!!"

Shen Chonglu kicked and thrashed helplessly in bed, his eyes bloodshot.

"No wonder you suddenly became so aloof today, refusing to let me watch or say any more sweet nothings. Song Yunqi, you're really something!"

"Shut up."

Song Yunqi coldly stopped his madness and turned the camera back to her own face.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, looked at the man on the screen who was practically fuming with anger, and said with a hint of warning and helplessness, "Don't embarrass yourself here."

"He is my friend."

"Friends? Friends you snuggle into bed with in the middle of the night?"

Shen Chonglu didn't believe a word of it. His face was almost pressed against the screen, his handsome features distorted with anger.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Look at that kid's tattered clothes, the collar is practically ripped to his belly button, and what are those red and blue marks on his collarbone? You dare say you didn't do them?"

Seeing that the other party was talking more and more outrageously, and even wanted to throw dirty water on Song Yunqi, Su Shen didn't know where he got the courage to walk over.

Ignoring his fear, he brought his face close to the camera's view, his voice trembling with urgency:

"Sir, you've really misunderstood! Mr. Song and I don't have that kind of relationship. Please don't wrong him!"

To increase credibility, Su Shen quickly raised his arm, pointed to the large sofa two meters away from the bed, and then pointed to the neatly laid-out blankets and pillows on it:

"You see, we've always slept in separate beds."

"I sleep on the sofa, and President Song sleeps in the bed. If there really were some kind of improper intimate relationship, how could we possibly sleep in separate beds?"

Shen Chonglu on the other end of the screen paused for a moment.

He looked at the sofa in the direction of the finger, then at the old wound on Su Shen's neck that had begun to scab over. The reason that had been clouded by jealousy finally returned to his mind a little.

Seeing his still-angry yet frustrated expression, unable to find fault with him, Song Yunxi's tone turned serious:

"Alright, can you just shut up for a bit?"

"My Pink Mansion in Haishi is the Lu family's underground business in Haishi."

Upon hearing the words "Lu family" and "black industry," Shen Chonglu's previously irritable posture instantly straightened up.

"Su Shen is a victim here, and also my friend."

"I need him as an informant to help me obtain leverage and evidence to deal with the Lu family."

This explanation carries considerable weight.

Shen Chonglu stared at Song Yunqi's impatient expression and Su Shen beside him, who seemed to have the word "innocence" etched on his forehead, and completely lost his temper.

The aggressive and inflammatory words he had originally intended to use for sophistry all got stuck in his throat, finally turning into a frustrated and stiff mutter:

"...You should have said so earlier! You made me kick the blanket all over the floor."

"You didn't give anyone a chance to explain either," Song Yunqi retorted calmly.

Shen Chonglu scratched his messy short hair, his expression showing a hint of nonchalant embarrassment.

His gaze swept over Song Yunqi's bare shoulders one last time, he swallowed hard, clearly still drooling, yet he still gave her a muffled instruction:

"Alright then, since this is serious business, I won't hold it against you."

"What time is your flight tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

Shen Chonglu waved his hand and then hung up the call, looking rather like he was fleeing in panic.

The screen went black, isolating the noisy and energetic face from a great distance.

The room fell silent again.

The tension created by the commotion quickly cooled, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering between the two.

Song Yunxi remained seated in her chair, while Su Shen remained kneeling at the foot of the bed. Under the dim wall lamp, their eyes met unexpectedly, and they stared at each other.

Then they both burst out laughing in unison.

Song Yunqi first looked away, rubbed her temples with her cool fingertips, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Young people tend to be a bit boisterous, so please don't be offended."
