Chapter 207 - 205: Do You Really Want Me to Go Back?

Chapter 207: Chapter 205: Do You Really Want Me to Go Back?

But when Huang Ziyue heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, the two men’s faces revealed entirely different states of mind.

The truth was, Huang Ziyue had dreamed of finishing what he and Shen Yue had started in the cave that night during her heat.

But he knew that unless she gave herself to him, body and soul, it would be meaningless, no matter how much he wanted it.

He wasn’t the same man he used to be—the one who only cared about his own feelings.

Now, he cared more about her feelings and what she wanted.

He needed her to give him her whole heart, to willingly come to him.

So, hearing those words from her lips now made him incredibly excited, and his heart began to race...

Bai Chaosi’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He remarked:

"Going to sleep at 7:45 PM? Can you even fall asleep? It’s a bit too early, isn’t it?"

Hearing this, Shen Yue almost laughed.

"Whether I can sleep or not is none of your business."

She provoked him mercilessly:

"Does ’going to sleep’ have to mean actually falling asleep? We’re a married couple, we can do a ’two-person workout’ first. The timing would be perfect for sleeping afterward!"

Bai Chaosi’s expression changed, and a storm seemed to churn in the depths of his eyes.

It was like a tempest gathering, ready to erupt at any moment.

His breathing tightened. Shen Yue’s words echoed in his ears, especially that phrase "two-person workout," which conjured vivid images in his mind...

He clenched his fists, staring intently at Shen Yue, as if trying to discern the truth of her words from her face alone.

Meanwhile, Huang Ziyue, still holding Shen Yue, trembled inwardly. His gaze toward her was filled with an inextricable mix of affection and joy.

His heart beat faster and faster.

The delight in his heart slowly spread to the corners of his mouth.

For a man who never smiled, his eyes now overflowed with a visible joy.

When Bai Chaosi caught sight of the irrepressible, happy smile in Huang Ziyue’s eyes, he found it exceptionally jarring.

As if muddled by anger, his voice grew colder, sharp enough to wound Shen Yue:

"A married couple? You’re right. A married couple enjoying a ’two-person workout’ is certainly enviable. We won’t disturb you, then!"

"I should also be getting back to my own wife. My wife, Xiao Ya, is also waiting in the courtyard for me to come back for our ’two-person workout’!"

"Farewell!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be forcefully suppressing a volcanic rage, his eyes fixed on Shen Yue.

It was as if he was waiting to see her reaction.

To his surprise, after he finished his tirade, Shen Yue merely shrugged nonchalantly.

"Then you’d better hurry back. You wouldn’t want your wife to be waiting all alone in her room, would you? How scary for her!"

Hearing this, Bai Chaosi’s eyes flew wide open. He stared at Shen Yue in disbelief.

He never imagined she wouldn’t care in the slightest—that she would even urge him to leave.

And after she spoke, right in front of him, Shen Yue wrapped her arms around Huang Ziyue’s neck.

"Let’s go. I’m tired after a long day. Carry me inside!"

The curve of Huang Ziyue’s lips deepened. He raised an eyebrow at Bai Chaosi, and the look in his eyes—the posture of a victor mixed with a pity that saw right through him—made Bai Chaosi’s heart plummet.

Carried by Huang Ziyue, Shen Yue didn’t spare Bai Chaosi a single extra glance as they headed into the house.

Bai Chaosi’s gaze was practically glued to their retreating backs, a crimson glint appearing in his narrow eyes...

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he forced the words out from between his teeth:

"Shen Yue!!"

It was a roar on the verge of collapse, as if he were trying to unleash all the emotion he had bottled up inside.

Huang Ziyue stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Shen Yue looked over as well, asking suspiciously:

"Mr. Bai, if you don’t know me, how is it that you know my name?"

Her tone, seemingly calculated to infuriate Bai Chaosi, dropped the atmosphere to a freezing point.

Bai Chaosi swallowed hard.

The pain, bitterness, and rage pent up in his chest all transformed into a metallic, sweet taste that rose to the tip of his tongue.

In that instant, it was as if he’d lost all his strength...

The look in his eyes slowly shifted from anger to anguish, and then to a hint of grievance.

Right then, he looked as if he were about to shatter, his gaze fixed on Shen Yue...

Under the moonlight, in that moment, he seemed to have shed the shell he had so painstakingly constructed, personally tearing apart the lie he had built.

He was blatantly showing Shen Yue that he hadn’t lost his memory.

He was blatantly telling her that he was her fox—that jealous, fiercely possessive fox.

But she still had no reaction!

He wanted to see a sign on her face that she was just joking with him, that she was deliberately trying to make him angry.

That she didn’t truly not care about him.

But there was nothing.

It was as if she wanted nothing to do with him anymore!

At that moment, he grew desperate, and he panicked.

All his reason vanished in an instant.

Shen Yue automatically ignored the look of grievance in his eyes and glanced toward the courtyard gate, where a figure was clearly hiding.

The corner of a pale cyan robe was still visible.

Of course, Huang Ziyue had also noticed the person at the gate. With spiritual power like theirs, they could sense presences and movements for miles around without even needing to look.

After pulling her gaze back, Shen Yue said flatly:

"It’s late, Mr. Bai. You should go back and rest. Don’t keep your beloved waiting!"

Bai Chaosi froze.

He followed her gaze to the courtyard gate, knowing that Shen Yue had seen the person hiding there.

’So, is she being this cold on purpose because Xiao Ya is hiding there?’

’Or does she really not care at all and can’t wait to push me onto someone else?’

He spoke:

"Do you really want me to go back?"

’This Bai Chaosi is a real piece of work,’ Shen Yue thought. ’I went through hell and back to find him, saved his life, and looked forward to reuniting and embracing him, only for him to fake amnesia.’

’Now, I’m letting him pursue his own happiness, letting him do what he wants, giving him his freedom.’

’And he’s the one making a fool of himself. I haven’t even had the chance to expose him, and he can’t keep up the act anymore. Now *he’s* the one getting desperate!’

Shen Yue said:

"Mr. Bai, has it only been a day and you’ve already forgotten what you said yesterday?"

"Why are you so fickle? Yesterday you said you didn’t know me, that we had nothing to do with each other. And today you’re here putting on some grand, emotional performance of letting go?"

"What, are you playing hard to get? Are you testing my patience and my feelings?"

Bai Chaosi listened as her questions, each and every word, stabbed him right in the heart.

He stood frozen on the spot, seemingly without the courage to speak or answer her.

Shen Yue hopped down from Huang Ziyue’s arms and stood before Bai Chaosi. Her gaze was as calm as still water, her eyes holding no trace of emotion.

"Bai Chaosi, you need to understand something. I, Shen Yue, am not someone you can just toy with."

’To be honest, a debt is a debt.’

’The debts and feelings that I, Shen Yue, owe, I will repay.’

’Bai Chaosi ended up in that situation because of me. He suffered, he was tormented, and he nearly died. I accept that. I owe him, and I wanted to make it up to him.’

’That’s why I came looking for him. I traveled nonstop until I found him, and I used my Vitality Power to save him.’

’That was what I owed him, my way of making amends.’
