Chapter 267 True Love
South China Sea, Harbourfront Luxury Apartments.
The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and a graceful figure could be seen through the frosted glass.
A sweet, soft female voice came from the bathroom:
"Brother Zhang, it's only been two weeks, and you already miss me?"
A lecherous voice came from the other end of the phone:
"You little devil, you're already craving it after just two days without seeing it."
The bathroom door opened, and Chen Yuxi, wrapped in a bath towel, came out while still on the phone.
"Aren't you afraid of your wife anymore?"
"We've already gone through divorce proceedings."
Once we're separated, we can be together forever.
Chen Yuxi was stunned:
"Divorced? Then let's break up."
An incredulous voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Wh...what?"
Chen Yuxi sat down on the sofa, applying body lotion as she spoke:
"Your money is all earned by your wife. If you get divorced, will you still have money?"
"Are you suggesting I starve with you?"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
She opened her phone's camera, looked at her own captivating eyes, and pressed the shutter.
So lovely.
The antique shop owner said that his eyes have a side effect—anyone who truly loves themselves will turn to stone.
Chen Yuxi became increasingly dismissive.
In reality, that love was nothing more than a fleeting thought during a hormonal surge.
Look, Brother Zhang just divorced his wife for him. It seems like true love, but it's actually fake.
Otherwise, Zhang Ge would have turned to stone long ago, right?
She sent the photos she had just taken to a friend on WeChat, speaking into the phone in a sickeningly sweet voice:
See you tonight, baby~
She has an appointment tonight. A wealthy young man from out of town, very rich.
I had known him for a while before, and he was very generous with himself.
Now that he seems to have inherited the family business and is even richer, he says he'll spend over a million to keep her as a mistress for a month.
Actually, she had a pretty good impression of this young master; if she were a naive young girl, she might have fallen in love with him.
But I'm a seasoned veteran, and I don't believe in true love at all.
So many people say they love themselves every day, yet not a single one of them turns to stone.
. . . .
Nighttime at the White Rose Couple Restaurant.
Dressed in bright colors, Chen Yuxi walked to the door and looked around—no one was there.
She frowned and glanced inside the restaurant; all the lights were off, as if it hadn't opened at all.
"Is this some kind of prank?" she thought, picking up her phone with displeasure, about to send a message.
The door suddenly opened.
The doorman asked:
"Are you Miss Chen?"
Chen Yuxi nodded:
"Yes."
"Please come in."
Chen Yuxi muttered "What's going on?" and walked in with her long legs.
Suddenly—the lights came on.
White rose petals fluttered down from the ceiling, like a rain of flowers.
She stared at the scene in astonishment.
"Click!"
The light at the bottom of the stairs is on.
The young man stood there holding roses, smiling, and walked slowly towards them, like a prince from a fairy tale.
Chen Yuxi instinctively pressed her hand to her chest.
No woman is allergic to romance.
Even if... the person on the other end is a sugar daddy.
The young master walked up to her and knelt down on one knee:
"Yuxi, my life has been like a drifting duckweed. My family has been very strict with me."
Or rather, I never felt that it was a home.
Now, I've finally beaten my brothers and sisters and taken over the company.
You gave me the feeling of home. You are my first woman and my first love, just like this white rose.
I earn about a million a month, and it will all be yours in the future.
Would you give me a chance to pursue you?
Chen Yuxi covered her mouth, her eyes filled with emotion.
So that's what it meant to be paid a million a month to be my sugar daddy...
But then I thought about it again—
Men are all the same! Let's take advantage of this and swindle all their money!
She lowered her eyes, feigning indifference:
"I...I'm not worthy."
The young master got anxious:
"I'm not good enough for you."
Please give me a chance.
Chen Yuxi slowly raised her eyes and nodded.
The young master excitedly tossed the roses into the air and then scooped Chen Yuxi up in his arms.
Music started playing in the restaurant.
The young master, beaming with happiness, held her and spun her around in the hall.
Just then, Chen Yuxi noticed something and frowned.
She felt... the arms that were holding her were hardening.
She suddenly realized something and quickly lowered her head—
Now, what he is holding is a stone statue radiating a happy smile.
Chen Yuxi stared in horror, fell off the stone statue, covered her mouth, and slowly backed away, tears streaming down her face.
"No...it's impossible..."
She trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.
"This...this is impossible!!"
The doorman then entered through the door.
He glanced at the sculpture, a look of surprise in his eyes.
He murmured to himself:
"Rich people really go to great lengths to woo girls, they even created such a realistic portrait sculpture."
The doorman approached Chen Yuxi and saw her covering her mouth and crying.
He can understand.
If I were a girl, I would definitely be moved to tears.
The doorman looked around but didn't see the young master. He had no idea what the young master was up to this time.
He took a contract from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuxi, smiling as he said:
"Boss lady, the boss bought this place a few days ago and is giving it to you as a gift."
Chen Yuxi took the contract in a daze.
The contract wasn't very serious; the edges had been reworked, with a clumsy, removable lace trim attached.
Chen Yuxi burst into tears.
The doorman felt he shouldn't disturb Chen Yuxi, so he took two steps back and left the White Rose Couple Restaurant.
The new boss said he would give all restaurant staff a week off.
The White Rose Couple Restaurant is very romantic now.
A soothing piano melody, white rose petals scattered on the ground, and a sculpture radiating a happy smile.
Chen Yuxi scratched her head, her face full of regret.
She underestimated the side effects of these eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Yuxi covered her mouth and coughed violently.
Her palms were sticky, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was blood!
Chen Yuxi suddenly remembered that she had used up a lot of her lifespan to obtain this eye!
Her expression turned fearful.
The grief of killing the person who truly loved her, coupled with the fear of her life coming to an end, drove her to the brink of madness.
Why...
I want to trade these eyes!
"Help... Help!!"
Chen Yuxi murmured unconsciously.
At that moment, a voice, arrogant and languid in tone, rang out:
"You lackey, do you want to live?"
Chen Yuxi looked up.
At some point, a stylishly dressed beautiful woman was standing in the second-floor corridor.
Chen Yuxi looked completely bewildered:
"Who...who are you?"
The beautiful woman walked gracefully down the corridor and down the stairs.
Chen Yuxi was horrified.
Ever since this woman appeared, his eyes have been constantly warning him!
She is Lin Yan, the Bright Lady of the Way of Peace.
Lin Yan walked up to Chen Yuxi.
Chen Yuxi screamed and kept crawling backward.
Lin Yan squatted down and scratched Chen Yuxi's face with her fingernails:
"Listen to me, and you will have an infinite lifespan and the ability to completely control these eyes."
Lin Yan came to find Chen Yuxi at the behest of Niulang.
The Cowherd used his magic to mend the sky, calculating and unfolding three paths to kill the twilight.
The first rule is to allow the evil Qilin to plot against Huang Hun.
However, something unexpected happened in the dream world of Dream Island, and Dusk actually defeated the evil Qilin who had become a Buddha in the dream.
The second point is to use Cao Ye to kill thirteen buyers.
Cao Ye's biggest worries were nothing more than dusk and the Taiping Road.
The Cowherd then made three moves.
First, revealing the information of the thirteen buyers to Cao Ye is tantamount to revealing Huang Hun's Achilles' heel to Cao Ye.
Secondly, he sent his fake clone to Cao Ye as a hostage, so that Cao Ye would feel at ease about the Taiping Dao.
In this way, Cao Ye must have felt that he could simultaneously control both Twilight and the Way of Peace.
Third, in order to force Cao Ye to kill the thirteen buyers, they arranged for members of the Taiping Dao to contact some of the thirteen buyers in advance.
Several of the buyers have already become followers of the Taiping Dao under its influence.
Therefore, when Cao Ye, whose ambition was at its peak, discovered that some buyers were henchmen of the Taiping Dao, he would launch a purge operation even if he had reservations.
At that point, he would simply kill all the buyers and take the thirteen forbidden items.
After all... killing one buyer to take the forbidden item, and killing thirteen buyers to take the forbidden item, will both bring the retribution of Twilight.
In this way, the Bureau of Anomalies will be destroyed by Twilight, and Twilight will stand on the opposite side of Xia Kingdom, with one foot in a dead end.
If the Cowherd obstructs him for two days before he obtains the thirteen forbidden items, he will be cursed.
However... Cao Ye was up to something, but he secretly monitored the five buyers.
The buyers who were negotiating with Taipingdao were not even in Cao Ye's sights.
The strangest thing is that, for some unknown reason, Cao Ye withdrew all the investigators who were with the buyers last night.
Both plans failed.
Now, only the third path to kill Twilight remains.
"This last path requires my personal intervention."
"The Cowherd is truly a useless lackey!"
Seeing Chen Yuxi's pathetic state, Lin Yan felt nauseous.
She truly didn't understand what use this woman was, or why she needed to personally recruit her.
