The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

On the way back to the hospital, Jiang Zhouzhou bought some fruit and daily necessities.

When she saw her return carrying things, Chao Mu's expression showed obvious surprise, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Brother Chaomu, have you taken your medicine properly?"

Jiang Zhouzhou put the things away, her expression and tone both relaxed and cheerful.

Chao Mu smiled and replied, "Yes, I've already taken my medicine."

He gazed intently at Jiang Zhouzhou, his interest gradually deepening in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the ward fell silent, each of them lost in their own thoughts.

In the following days, Jiang Zhouzhou went to the hospital every few days. Under her and the caregiver's meticulous care, Chao Mu's injuries recovered well and he was able to be discharged.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Zhouzhou accompanied him back to the villa, and unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

She subconsciously looked at the pomegranate tree. In June, the pomegranate tree was in full bloom, with bright red petals and lush green leaves.

The spiderweb is still there, but the butterfly on it has long since died, now only empty shells remain, like a perfect specimen.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Chaomu invited.

Jiang Zhouzhou's thoughts snapped back to reality, and she nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Seeing that she agreed, Chao Mu's light-colored eyes flickered.

After several days of no one living there, the villa, which already lacked any sense of life, became even more deserted.

As she followed Chao Mu into the living room, the door behind her was suddenly slammed shut, causing Jiang Zhouzhou to tremble slightly.

Sensing the man's approaching presence, she pressed her back against the door, with nowhere left to retreat.

The man, a head taller than her, looked down at her, his eyes appearing even darker in the backlight.

"To be honest, I'm surprised you followed me in."

His voice was calm, revealing no emotional fluctuation.

Only the thick gaze, like an impenetrable net, firmly locked onto Jiang Zhouzhou.

Ashen lips curled up, and she said to herself, "No, I should say I was very surprised when you returned to the hospital."

Jiang Zhouzhou's head was lowered, so her expression could not be seen, and her thin shoulders were tense.

A soft sigh sounded in my ear, "I gave you several chances, you shouldn't have come."

She should have avoided him the moment she first stepped into the bedroom of this villa.

During her days in the hospital, she also had countless opportunities to get away from him.

Especially when she got off the bus just now, she could have refused to come in.

Jiang Zhouzhou's lips moved slightly, and she finally spoke: "But I can't leave you in the hospital. You saved me."

"You gave me a chance, but you were also betting that I would soften my heart."

She raised her eyes and looked directly into Chaomu's eyes.

The scene she saw in the bedroom unconsciously flashed into her mind.

A large picture frame hangs on the wall.

It's called a painting, but it's covered with her photos.

Her photos were densely pieced together to form the shape of a butterfly, one after another, like pieces of a cut-out butterfly.

In that instant, a chill swept over my entire body.

She sensed a strong and morbid possessiveness within the picture frame, and subconsciously felt the urge to escape.

however……

She returned to the hospital as if nothing had happened, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

As he said, she should have run far away from him and kept her distance forever when she discovered the picture frame.

But she did soften her heart.

Cool fingers touched her cheek, gently caressing it.

Chao Mu said in a low voice, "The thing I regret most is letting you go back then."

Lies may be false, but they can easily lead people to become addicted and ensnared.

Her lies were not clever; they were full of loopholes, and her acting was quite poor.

But he willingly succumbed to depravity.

He was just too soft-hearted back then, and in the end, he chose to let her go.

They could have endured the darkness if they had never seen the sunlight.

I used to think that moths flying into a flame was too foolish, but when it came to my own turn, I was willing to rush into the flames and turn to ashes for that faint light.

Countless days and nights, he had wondered what would have happened between them if he hadn't let her go...

Perhaps, as she said, she will wear the wedding dress he designed himself and the wedding ring he designed...

"This time, I won't let you leave."

"Wife."

His voice was soft, like a lover's whisper, and they seemed very intimate.

When Jiang Zhouzhou heard the word "wife", her eyes flickered.

She felt the hand around her waist slowly tighten, and her body pressed against Chao Mu's.

She nervously and stiffly raised her arms to hug Chaomu, then stood on tiptoe.

"Yes, I won't leave."

"Can you lower your head, honey?"

"I can't reach it."

Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes were brimming with tears as she stared unblinkingly at the man in front of her, her soft voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Chao Mu was taken aback, probably because her reaction surprised him.

"Are you lying to me again?"

"However... your acting skills are much better than before."

In that instant, he seemed to see genuine affection in her eyes.

"If I'm not lying to you, would you believe me?"

"Honey, I want to kiss you."

A faint blush rose to her cheeks, and her full red lips pouted slightly.

Chao Mu's eyes darkened, realizing it was just another of her little tricks to lower his guard.

He leaned down and kissed her lips.

The man's kiss was almost greedy, ruthlessly stealing her breath.

Feeling the stirring between her lips and tongue, Jiang Zhouzhou felt her head being stirred up like a lump of paste, her thoughts in complete chaos.

Fortunately, the breathtaking kiss didn't last long.

Jiang Zhouzhou's lips were wet and red, and her breathing became disordered. She rested her head against his chest and breathed softly.

The hand that was holding her waist rested on her back, and through the thin fabric, the fingertips slowly traced down her spine like snakes, making her body tremble involuntarily.

"Honey, I'll trust you one more time."

Even if you lie to me, I hope you will keep lying to me.

"Do not disappoint me."
