Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 571 - 230: A Man’s Hidden Ailment (2)
Pello still had no reaction, his gaze fell upon Yang Wuxu. This made Yang Wuxu feel even better about herself; if Pello could accept her, nothing could be better. Yang Wuxu hadn’t expected such luck, but upon reflection, Pello’s care for her, even stronger than that of Su Ziceng, made her think that perhaps this man truly harbored special feelings for her. Pello was young and wealthy, his appearance as outstanding as his status. If she could replace Wen Maixue, she would become the respected Countess of Weizhi. What would her past and those stains matter then?
"Love me well," Yang Wuxu’s hand unfastened Pello’s belt, reaching down below him, taking the fiery heat into her hand. Pello’s breathing... remained unchanged throughout; he looked at Yang Wuxu, who appeared lost in desire, her skin altered in hue by passion, all of which made him feel nauseous.
Pello suddenly stood up, throwing the body, reeking of obscenity, out without a shred of pity, coldly discarding it, his body beneath not reacting at all.
Yang Wuxu fell clumsily to the ground, the emptiness in her hand and the insult to her spirit assailed her at once, making her wish she could burrow beneath the carpet. On the brown carpet, her naked body looked disturbingly stark.
"You’re not a fucking man," Yang Wuxu turned all her shame into curses. She couldn’t believe there were men in this world who could remain indifferent in front of a woman offering herself up, not even a twitch of breath different from before.
"Do you know why I helped you in the first place?" Pello looked down at her, his candid gaze to Yang Wuxu was like the sharpest knife brutally disfiguring the skin and the body shape she was so proud of.
"Isn’t it because..." Yang Wuxu could no longer say Pello had an Oedipus complex. The iciness in his eyes let Yang Wuxu know that he was a man without desire, even without a heart—talking about feelings with such a man was courting death.
"My attachment for Tina to be shifted onto you, you think you’re worthy?" Pello’s ridicule made Yang Wuxu curl up, feeling dirty for the first time.
"Let me clarify, your eyes are the only thing that attracted me and Su Qingzhang. Su Qingzhang saw in them a shadow of Tina, but he won’t love you, because he killed Tina, he dares not fall in love with you. As for me, what I saw was greed. I just wanted to exploit this greed to destroy the Su Family; pity that this greed not only destroyed the Su Family, but also ruined you yourself."
"Pello, don’t be smug, one day, you’ll taste the same bitterness as I am today," Yang Wuxu hurriedly dressed herself, her intoxication completely washed away by Pello’s words. Her eyes were tearless, these men around her had already pushed her to a state where she couldn’t cry.
After zipping up, Yang Wuxu cast another glance at Pello, speaking venomously, "You didn’t reject me at first for a reason, right, Earl of Wizi?"
Pello’s brow furrowed.
"Haha, no wonder Shang Yin says you’re a cold-hearted man, I reckon you’re also frigid in desire, Wen Maixue won’t get much pleasure from you," Yang Wuxu resumed her mocking tone, becoming even more unrestrained.
In outsiders’ eyes, Pello and Wen Maixue were a couple deeply in love, newly engaged, ostensibly lovebirds, but Pello was hardly affectionate with Wen Maixue. Pello was indifferent to the recent seduction attempt. Could it be that this man, with an appearance of debonair charm, was impotent?
"Shut up," Pello’s lips pressed together from anger.
"Tsk, tsk, did I hit a sore spot?" Yang Wuxu vindictively retaliated, approaching Pello and asked softly, "You’ve been with Su Zi for so long, haven’t even touched her, no wonder she’s back into the arms of Hang Yishao now. I’ve heard from Deng Jiani before, Hang Yishao’s bedroom skills are... "
"Ah," Yang Wuxu was choked, Pello’s fingers like steel rods tightly clamped around her neck, making her feel breathless, her face turning red, the fear of death finally overtaking the frenzy of satisfaction, "No... please... " 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Pello let go, his eyes flashing with feral rage, breath ragged.
Yang Wuxu stumbled out of the study, and upon exiting, she saw Chang Chi standing not far away, watching her smirk with schadenfreude. Damn it, Yang Wuxu spat, realizing her conversation and her failed seduction must have been witnessed by Chang Chi. However, remembering her recent intimacy with Shang Yin, confidence quickly surged back. She just needed to endure a little longer. As long as Shang Yin was willing to marry her, she would see if Chang Chi could still wear such a smug expression.
