Chapter 129: Nowhere to Reason! This Thing Is Incredible!

Thinking about how she had been taken advantage of twice in a row by this scoundrel, Liu Xiaowan couldn't help but glare at him with frustration, her eyes almost radiating murderous intent.

This time, Chu Lin met the gaze of the stunningly beautiful woman with an air of righteousness and said earnestly, “Xiaowan, this really isn’t my fault. I don’t know what happened, but last night I just felt something was off with my body—I got impulsive and couldn’t control myself.”

Hearing this, a flicker of unease crossed Liu Xiaowan’s delicate face.

Last night, at first, she had been too drunk to feel anything.

But after such a long time with that man, she gradually sobered up. In fact, she was quite clear-headed during the latter half.

Still, she sensed something was off with her body and, strangely enough, didn’t resist; instead, she found herself somewhat involuntarily drawn in.

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, and her frustration began to lose its footing.

Noticing the change in Liu Xiaowan’s expression, Chu Lin tentatively asked, “Xiaowan, since things are like this, and the morning is such a fine time, why don’t we go for another round?”

“???” Liu Xiaowan, clearly taken aback that Chu Lin dared to suggest such a thing, instantly roused her anger again and snapped fiercely, “Get out of here.”

“All right!” Chu Lin responded promptly and quickly got dressed.

“……” Liu Xiaowan was speechless.

Chu Lin understood the need to know when to stop. To win over the enchanting Liu Xiaowan, the beautiful married woman, he would have to proceed gradually. After all, having already taken full advantage of her last night, he considered himself a great winner.

Once dressed, he hurried out of the room and saw that Liu Feng and Xu Na were already awake.

Xu Na was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

“Xiao Chu, you’re up? Your aunt made porridge; come have some with us later!” Liu Feng greeted him with a smile.

“Uncle, I need to rush back to get some documents. There’s an urgent matter, so I have to leave first,” Chu Lin lied and left the Liu household.

As he drove the Cullinan out of the neighborhood, his phone rang—it was his eldest sister.

He immediately answered, “Hello, sis. Calling so early, what’s up?”

“What exactly happened between you and Xiaowan last night? And why did you still go to her place?” Chu Yan asked, unable to hide her confusion.

When she received the call last night, she had been stunned, unable to comprehend how her scoundrel brother had ended up entangled again with her best friend.

What was worse, they even invited her to her best friend’s parents’ house for dinner.

Where on earth would she dare to go?

The whole night, she’d been tormented by the situation, and now, bleary-eyed in the early morning, she was probing for answers.

Chu Lin teased, “Going to Xiaowan’s house was naturally to meet the parents. Uncle and auntie really like me.”

“……” Chu Yan felt something was off.

Her brother was a scoundrel; how could Xiaowan’s parents possibly like him?

Before she could press further, the other end hung up.

She could only call her best friend.

---

At the Liu household, Liu Xiaowan held her head, taking a long time to come to terms with what had happened last night.

She felt utterly defeated—unrelated to the other party yet taken advantage of twice.

What kind of nonsense was this?

Even if she comforted herself by thinking she’d been bitten by a dog, no dog should bite twice in a row, right?

At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing it was her best friend Chu Yan, she answered with no patience and called out, “Yan Yan, how can you have such a terrible brother?”

“Uh!” Chu Yan was momentarily stunned. “Xiaowan, with that tone, don’t tell me you gave in to him again?”

“……” Liu Xiaowan never expected her friend to guess right so quickly. Embarrassed, she ended the call abruptly.

“……” Chu Yan was dumbfounded by the muffled sound on the line.

Wait, did it really happen again?

Was her brother really that much of a scoundrel—able to take advantage of her best friend twice in a row?

She knew her best friend wasn’t easy to fool.

Liu Xiaowan sighed and took a shower, then dressed and composed herself before stepping out, not wanting her parents to notice anything amiss.

“Up already?” Liu Feng greeted his daughter and reminded, “Xiao Chu said he had to leave early.”

“Oh!” Liu Xiaowan replied casually and went into the kitchen to help Xu Na.

Seeing her daughter come out, Xu Na leaned in for a mother-daughter whisper, “Xiao Chu was impressive last night—such a long time!”

“Ah???” Liu Xiaowan stared at her mother in shock. “Mom, what did you just say?”

Xu Na teased, “You shouted so loud, the neighbors must have heard it. Xiaowan, isn’t it wonderful to feel that way for so long?”

“……” Liu Xiaowan felt stung by the question.

She had been wronged all night by a scoundrel, yet her mother was asking if being ‘wronged’ felt good?

Seeing her daughter’s expression, Xu Na laughed and added, “How old are you now? Still shy? But your dad’s herbal remedies from the countryside really worked. He originally used them himself but brewed some wine with them for you and Xiao Chu.”

“Ah…??” Liu Xiaowan was utterly dumbfounded.

Last night’s strange sensations, losing control, that involuntary feeling—Chu Lin had mentioned it too—there was clearly a reason.

She never expected the culprit was actually her own parents.

What kind of situation was this?

A scoundrel trying to make a move on her, and her own parents were helping him?

Was there anything more absurd?

Xu Na continued, “I told your dad to go back to the countryside to look for more of that herb. If he finds some, you and Xiao Chu can drink it again.”

“……” Liu Xiaowan felt like crying but had no tears.

Again?

She suddenly regretted pretending that scoundrel was her boyfriend. Now that her parents were seriously inviting him over again, what was she supposed to do?

She had no appetite for breakfast, barely greeting Xu Na before rushing out.

Outside the neighborhood, she immediately sent Chu Lin a WeChat message: “When are you free today? I want to return the money for the watch, the pearls, and the Moutai.”

She truly didn’t want any further entanglement with him.

Returning the money would also serve as a subtle warning—if her parents invited him over again, she’d find an excuse to avoid it.

Chu Lin naturally received the message from the stunning married woman but sighed at its content. It was clear she was still resistant.

But he knew how to handle this kind of thing—he simply chose to ignore her messages, no reply.

At a time like this, the art of pulling away was crucial. A man who suddenly stopped speaking after a night together would make any woman’s mind reel.

Besides, she wanted to meet to return money? Then he wouldn’t give her that chance—he’d keep her hanging, making her suffer.

In time, the situation might turn in his favor.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaowan, having received no response for a long while, angrily sent another message: “What do you mean? Did you see my message?”

Still, no reply came.

Frustrated, she comforted herself that maybe he was driving and hadn’t seen her texts.

So she waited, but fearing no reply, she sent one more, “Please reply when you see this.”

Unaware, her mood was already starting to unravel.

Chu Lin saw all her messages but continued to ignore them.

Back at the farm, he eagerly entered the Atlantis map, curious about what animals had been unexpectedly swept in today.

Upon entering, he saw that among the newly spawned creatures were some special small squids, but they were all dead—only lifeless bodies lay still.

He hastily picked one up to inspect, and upon reading the notes, his face broke into a look of astonishment.

“Holy crap… this disease can even be cured? Amazing!” Chu Lin exclaimed aloud.
