A fallen heiress was brutally accused and forcibly taken from her - Chapter 26
“I want to bite it.”
“I really want to bite it.”
Xu Suxin’s skin was just like her personality.
A light touch would leave marks all over her body, yet they would quickly disappear without a trace, making people want to stain her all over again.
Xu Suxin slept soundly.
Fragments of dreams drifted through her mind.
She remembered the way Lu Chenxing looked at her—
Silent.
Filled with hatred.
As though those eyes had branded themselves onto her forever.
Then Qian Shanyue’s words echoed through her dreams:
“Did you provoke some kind of lunatic?”
Mentally ill?
*
The next morning, Xu Suxin instinctively lowered her head to examine herself.
Fortunately, nothing seemed wrong.
The necklace was gone.
She remembered the feeling of Lu Chenxing pushing the sapphire against her lips last night.
Although she wanted to curse her…
She couldn’t help thinking positively.
Fortunately…
She didn’t put it somewhere even worse.
That bastard had always been capable of anything after getting drunk.
She walked into the bathroom, determined to wash away every trace Lu Chenxing had left behind.
Warm water streamed over her body.
She carefully scrubbed her neck and collarbone where several faint red marks still remained.
The hot water warmed her skin.
As she recalled what had happened the previous night, an unexpected wave of sensitivity swept across her body.
After showering, she casually put on one of Lu Chenxing’s shirts.
Its style was astonishingly conservative.
Plain.
Without even a decorative pattern.
Xu Suxin chuckled softly.
The simpler something looked…
The more interesting it became.
After leaving the room, she intended to head straight for the study.
But the moment she looked downstairs—
She saw Fu Qiran.
Dressed in a pure white dress, Fu Qiran radiated an innocent, gentle temperament.
She sat quietly beneath the sunlight, looking almost holy.
The moment she noticed Xu Suxin, her expression immediately became guarded.
Xu Suxin changed direction without hesitation.
Resting one arm lazily against the staircase railing, she tapped it twice with her fingertips before descending gracefully.
As composed as though this were still her own home.
Only the chains around her ankles betrayed the truth, clinking softly with every step.
She sat opposite Fu Qiran.
Fu Qiran immediately recognized the black pinstripe dress.
Lu Chenxing had worn it to a charity gala.
Its tailoring was impeccable.
Yet on Xu Suxin, it carried an untamed beauty.
The neckline was slightly open.
The waist fit tightly against her figure.
Fu Qiran glanced at her coldly.
“Aunt Qin asked me to talk to you.”
Xu Suxin crossed her legs.
“Yes.”
“I was standing right beside Lu Chenxing when she answered the call yesterday.”
Fu Qiran spoke bluntly.
“I hope you’ll stay away from Lu Chenxing.”
“You treated her like a dog.”
“When you got tired of her, you threw her away.”
“You hurt her.”
“Now you’re draining everything she has.”
“You should have some principles.”
“Besides… Chenxing and I are engaged.”
“You keep getting entangled with her.”
“How is that any different from being someone’s mistress?”
Xu Suxin asked calmly,
“Did she agree to the engagement?”
Fu Qiran stiffened.
“If she hadn’t…”
“Would she have given me Amber?”
Xu Suxin pondered seriously.
“That really is troublesome.”
“I don’t like being a mistress either.”
“It’s disgraceful.”
She slowly looked Fu Qiran up and down.
Then asked thoughtfully,
“So…”
“What can you offer me?”
Fu Qiran straightened her back.
“Name your price.”
Xu Suxin shook her head.
“I don’t want money.”
“I want your Amber.”
Fu Qiran frowned.
“What do you mean?”
“You said she gave Amber to you.”
“Give Amber to me.”
“Withdraw from the engagement.”
“Then the problem is solved.”
“Xu Suxin!”
Fu Qiran stood abruptly.
Xu Suxin smiled.
Apparently…
This was Fu Qiran’s first time witnessing her truly wicked side.
“Alright.”
“I’m joking.”
She waved casually.
“Just lend Amber to me for one month.”
Fu Qiran asked,
“And after one month?”
Xu Suxin thought carefully.
“Well…”
“Who knows?”
“Maybe by then she’ll already be tired of me.”
Fu Qiran immediately understood.
Xu Suxin had absolutely no intention of backing down.
“Then aren’t you still doing something immoral?”
“Xu Suxin.”
“I’m Lu Chenxing’s fiancée.”
“You should stay away from her.”
“Otherwise…”
“How are you any different from Zhang Huilan?”
Mentioning her mother caused Xu Suxin to fall silent briefly.
Then she nodded thoughtfully.
“When you put it that way…”
“I really do sound rather pitiful.”
“Love should indeed be pure.”
Fu Qiran replied coldly,
“It’s good that you understand.”
Xu Suxin blinked.
“Then let’s do this.”
“I’ll have both of you.”
“She stays with me on odd-numbered days.”
“You can have her on even-numbered days.”
Fu Qiran’s eyes widened.
Her face turned bright red.
She was completely speechless.
Xu Suxin tilted her head innocently.
“What?”
“Too much?”
“Or too little?”
“I can’t give up any more.”
“I need days off too.”
Fu Qiran trembled with anger.
“How can you be so shameless?”
Xu Suxin answered matter-of-factly,
“Then you can withdraw.”
“I only made that suggestion because you’re cute.”
“I’ve never dated someone like you.”
“I originally thought you were aloof.”
“Who knew you’d stab me in the back?”
“Now you’re becoming rather interesting.”
“I’d like to play with you.”
She exposed everything mercilessly.
“You’re the one who brought Aunt Qin here.”
“You came here voluntarily.”
“You clearly saw that Lu Chenxing had locked me up.”
“But because you couldn’t reach her…”
“You immediately called me the mistress.”
The polite façade shattered instantly.
Fu Qiran’s face flushed scarlet.
Her fingers clenched tightly around her skirt, leaving deep wrinkles.
Xu Suxin leaned closer.
Looking straight into those watery eyes, she asked sincerely,
“Are you going to cry?”
She reached out.
Catching a tear with her fingertip.
“So beautiful.”
“Crystal clear.”
Her voice softened.
“Don’t cry.”
“I’m terrible at comforting people.”
Fu Qiran stood frozen.
Then finally burst out,
“Xu Suxin…”
“You’re awful.”
“No wonder everyone…”
“Hates you.”
Xu Suxin slowly rolled the tear between her fingers.
“What’s so excessive about that?”
“I have another suggestion.”
“If you’re willing…”
“I can do exactly what you asked.”
*
After Fu Qiran left, Xu Suxin remained downstairs alone for quite some time.
She quietly wiped away the tear on her fingertip.
Then returned upstairs.
She pushed open the study door.
Sitting once more before the computer, her forearm unconsciously rubbed against the chair’s armrest.
A faint red abrasion appeared.
Xu Suxin lowered her eyes.
Looking at the mark.
A sudden chill crawled across her back.
Could this room…
Really have no cameras?
The feeling was deeply unsettling.
Almost like reenacting a murder in front of the murderer himself.
She immediately withdrew her arm.
No longer allowing it to touch the chair.
Lu Chenxing was extremely busy.
Surely she couldn’t be watching her every second.
Otherwise…
She would’ve returned the moment Fu Qiran arrived.
Xu Suxin reached for the computer again.
She had to open it.
She didn’t know when she’d get another chance.
If she found the evidence…
She would no longer need to remain entangled with Lu Chenxing.
Nor remain imprisoned here.
She forced herself to remember the password.
Without further hesitation—
She unlocked the computer.
Unlike Lu Chenxing’s phone…
The computer was filled with files.
Each carefully organized by date.
She opened one.
It was a video.
Xu Suxin froze.
The recording showed herself five years earlier.
She casually tossed her handbag onto the sofa before leaning back and closing her eyes.
The Filipino maid approached to ask about dinner.
Xu Suxin lazily waved her hand.
“Cook whatever my darling likes.”
After speaking, she headed upstairs.
Xu Suxin fast-forwarded.
The garage door opened.
Lu Chenxing slowly entered.
She wore a black dress.
The first thing she did after stepping inside…
Was look upstairs.
Her eyes were far brighter than now.
Clear.
Pure.
Untouched by hatred.
Xu Suxin stared blankly at that youthful face.
Five years had passed.
Unexpectedly…
She actually felt nostalgic.
The video continued.
Hearing movement, Xu Suxin came downstairs.
Her hair was casually tied back, exposing the elegant curve of her neck.
Their eyes met.
Leaning against the staircase railing, Xu Suxin beckoned with one finger.
Lu Chenxing obediently walked over.
She tilted her head up.
They kissed on the staircase.
Xu Suxin sat down, running her fingers gently through Lu Chenxing’s loose hair as the kiss lingered.
Later…
Lu Chenxing knelt on the steps.
Xu Suxin sat lower, wrapping her legs around her.
They continued kissing.
When they finally separated…
Xu Suxin took out a long candy stick.
She bit one end herself before offering the other end toward Lu Chenxing.
Lu Chenxing bit down.
Slowly…
Their lips met again.
Watching the recording…
Xu Suxin suddenly felt warmth spread through her chest.
A forgotten memory stirred.
She quickly paused the video.
Waiting for her heartbeat to settle.
Back when she was twenty…
She had lived extraordinarily well.
She suddenly felt a little hungry.
Closing the video, she continued searching.
Judging by the dates…
The final recordings should contain the day she suffered her head injury.
Another video appeared.
Although undated, the background clearly showed the villa after it had been resold.
Lu Chenxing, dressed in a long black coat, appeared far taller and colder than before.
Suddenly—
She looked directly into the camera.
Her eyes were dark.
Expressionless.
As though she had always known Xu Suxin would eventually watch this recording.
Their gazes met across five years of time.
Soon afterward…
Workers entered.
Cleaning.
Restoring the abandoned villa until it looked exactly as it had five years earlier.
Xu Suxin’s heartbeat accelerated.
She hurriedly opened another recording.
This time…
She herself was asleep on the sofa.
After entering, Lu Chenxing quietly sat beside her.
Xu Suxin was about to fast-forward again—
When she saw Lu Chenxing suddenly lean down.
And place a gentle kiss upon her forehead.
