The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 275: Lu Shinian’s Cowardice
In the bedroom, after playing two matches, Su Ruan logged off.
Now the opponents matched by Star Network could no longer satisfy her; she craved stronger opponents. Unfortunately, for some reason, the system never matched her with very strong ones.
Of course, it might also be because a Mecha competition was currently taking place, and strong opponents were all off training, not participating in such random matches.
In the end, not finding a suitable opponent, Su Ruan logged off like that.
She took out a Level 5 Energy Stone, intending to purify some during this time.
Her spiritual power enveloped the Energy Stone, slowly extracting the black mist coiling around it bit by bit.
The moment those black mists touched her spiritual power, they converged towards it as if they were cats smelling fish.
When she pulled them out with her spiritual power, they disappeared again.
At least, in the air, there were no such black mists visible.
Su Ruan guessed that her spiritual power might have somehow absorbed those black mists, though she didn’t know how.
By now, Su Ruan was very proficient in purifying Energy Stones, able even to multitask.
As she pondered the matter of the black mist, while purifying the Energy Stone, time passed unnoticed, until footsteps were heard from the corridor.
Probably Lu Shinian had finished handling his documents.
Su Ruan withdrew her spiritual power, putting the half-purified Level 5 Energy Stone into her Space Button.
The next second, the door was opened from the outside.
A cold air rushed in.
Su Ruan was startled, stood up, and looked at Lu Shinian standing at the door, saying, "Brother Lu, have you finished your work?"
Lu Shinian didn’t respond to her question, one of his sleeves rolled up, vaguely showing some strange red rashes.
His eyes were entirely red, resembling an Ancestral Stage phenomenon, but there was no wolf tail behind him, and no wolf ears on top, no sign of Beastification, appearing not to be in the Ancestral Stage.
Yet he did look somewhat out of it.
Su Ruan took two steps forward, the coldness in the air spreading, extending to her skin, as if trying to invade her bones.
It seemed as if there was fog in the air, or perhaps ice, every step she took was like stepping onto a sharp ice blade, cold to the point of pain.
The bedroom had thick carpets laid out, originally warm and soft, but at this moment, with her bare feet stepping on this originally warm and soft carpet, it felt like the cold of a harsh winter.
Su Ruan’s long lashes trembled.
She clearly realized that the cold spreading in the room was transformed from Lu Shinian’s spiritual power.
Powerful spiritual power can transform into any substance, even permeating like air.
Being as powerful as Lu Shinian, his spiritual power could be controlled at will.
But why did he choose to do so?
Su Ruan didn’t know, she could only endure the pain, arduously walking up to him, grabbing his wrist.
"What’s wrong?" she asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of softness.
Lu Shinian stared straight at Su Ruan.
He tried to find some information on her face.
But her expression was normal, nothing unusual could be seen.
No, it should be said that she was inherently abnormal now.
She shouldn’t be treating him with such a warm or even coquettish attitude, because from the beginning, it was he who plotted against the Shen Family, forcing her to marry him.
Any normal person, forced into that situation, shouldn’t respond with such warmness.
She should have run away like that day at the grand wedding, escaping in public, the wind lifting her red dress and resolute hair strands, the exquisitely beautiful small face slightly flustered, yet filled with the determination to escape.
Indeed, from the start, she wanted to leave him.
Though reluctant to admit it, Lu Shinian had to acknowledge that his Ruan Ruan had wanted to escape from him all along.
Perhaps not because of any other man, but simply because she didn’t love him.
He deluded himself into thinking she remembered him, remembered saving him ten years ago, even if not completely, at least a little.
He thought she remembered, there was no other explanation for her attitude change after he brought her back that night she escaped.
From within this situation, stepping back as an observer reveals many inconsistencies.
Lu Shinian didn’t want to think deeply about it.
Or rather, he didn’t dare to think deeply.
Once naked truth appeared before his eyes, it would be a bloody reality.
For the first time, he exhibited cowardice, red-eyed looking at Su Ruan.
No matter how many words he wanted to ask, at the moment he couldn’t utter a single one.
Seeing him not speaking, Su Ruan grew more worried.
She gripped his wrist tightly, trying to guess something.
Recent days had been quite plain; although Aiers visited her daily to play, and she went to Da Hu for treatment every other day, nothing major seemed to happen.
Could he be jealous?
But Aiers and Da Hu were both girls.
Could Lu Shinian be jealous of girls?
Su Ruan felt this couldn’t be right, but for real, she couldn’t think of a reason for Lu Shinian being so strange.
She tightened her grip on his wrist slightly, stepped forward, wrapping another arm around his waist, getting closer to him.
"Could you tell me if anything’s wrong?"
Her voice softened, her innocent face appearing in Lu Shinian’s sight, showing no signs.
Lu Shinian grasped Su Ruan’s wrist in return, his Adam’s apple moving up and down.
He tried hard to make a sound, yet eventually, all sounds were stuck in his throat.
Lowering his head, he kissed Su Ruan’s lips.
Her lips were as warm and soft as ever, but his were ice cold.
The whole bedroom felt like an ice cellar, cold to the bone.
Su Ruan’s hand around Lu Shinian’s waist tightened slightly, she extended her spiritual power’s tentacle, tentatively trying to enter his Spiritual Sea to see what was going on.
What if his Spiritual Sea was in turmoil?
Previously her spiritual power’s tentacle could enter his Spiritual Sea smoothly, but this time, she was blocked.
Lu Shinian erected high walls outside his Spiritual Sea, hard and cold, she couldn’t penetrate.
After trying twice, Su Ruan withdrew her spiritual power.
At the same time, Lu Shinian slowly released her lips.
Somehow, his lip was cut, and the bright red blood tinted the lips that had a natural Guisse tone, adding a few enchanting hues.
In those red eyes, there was no light at all.
The bedroom was brightly lit, but except for red, there was nothing else in his pupils, as if all light was kept out, unable to enter at all.
"Lu Shinian."
For the first time, she sternly called his name.
