Even hybrid monsters have their day

But Peng Yuxian's eyes seemed to see through the large bouquet of roses and he could see her movements. As soon as she stopped and before she could even turn around, he put down the flowers and called out, "Miaowan!"

Miao Wan...

Geng Miaowan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, raising goosebumps all over her body. When did their relationship reach the point where she could call each other that...?

"This is for you." In the blink of an eye, Peng Yuxian had already come to her, completely unafraid of Huangfu Aoxuan and Xu Ruwen's sharp, knife-like gazes, and handed the flowers to Geng Miaowan.

The moment she saw his face, she felt a dull ache in the wound on her neck.

Since transmigrating, this was the first time Geng Miaowan felt an urge to beat the person in front of her to a pulp, yet she was no match for them, which frustrated her immensely. Without even glancing at the enormous bouquet of roses that nearly filled half the passageway, she said indifferently, "Sorry, I don't know you."

She walked around the bouquet and continued towards the room. Since she couldn't avoid it, she could only press on.

The room was very close; just a few more steps and she could get inside, close the door, and everything would be fine. She reassured herself with this thought.

Qiu Pi seemed to have just noticed him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Peng Yuxian raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Do I need your permission to come see my woman?"

His words made Geng Miaowan, who had already passed him, stumble slightly. In her heart, she cursed Peng Yuxian a thousand times over.

"Your woman?" Qiu Pi's gaze fell upon the silk scarf around Geng Miaowan's neck, and the faint, familiar yet repulsive scent he had caught in the restaurant—exactly the same as the one emanating from the man before him. A glint of light flashed in his eyes behind his glasses, then vanished instantly.

Peng Yuxian leaned closer to him, "What, you found such an interesting guy just to give him to me? I'm just enjoying my meal a little early." His voice was low, but enough for Geng Miaowan, who was walking ahead, to hear. His uninhibited words aroused a hint of suspicion in her heart. However, she pretended not to hear anything and continued walking forward.

"Shut up." Qiu Pi hissed at Peng Yuxian, watching Geng Miaowan quicken her pace as she walked towards the room.

Peng Yuxian looked on, a playful smile still playing on his lips, but his eyes held a chilling, murderous glint. "What, I saw through you? Getting angry now?" He chuckled softly. "Or... have you changed your mind and want to keep her for yourself?"

"I told you to shut up!" Qiu Pi's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry endless anger.

Just as Geng Miaowan reached the doorway, she felt a surge of air rushing towards her from behind, and Peng Yuxian appeared behind her. However, this time, he was forced back by the aura emanating from Qiu Pi.

Geng Miaowan was secretly astonished by Qiu Pi's strength. She couldn't even handle Peng Yuxian, yet Qiu Pi was so much stronger than him—what a terrifying level that must be! She could already imagine the extent of his power. He was definitely not an ordinary person, and judging from Peng Yuxian's tone, he was very likely of the same type.

The thought of this made her neck wound ache again.

Peng Yuxian wasn't angry; that playful smile remained on his face the entire time. Taking advantage of Geng Miaowan's momentary daze, he pulled her shoulder close, drawing her head against his body. He lowered his head and lightly licked her neck, his eyes fixed on Qiu Pi with a provocative gaze, "You don't know yet, do you? Her scent..."

"It's sweeter than you can imagine."

Geng Miaowan felt completely unwell. Was this guy really talking about her, or not a piece of candy or a piece of chocolate?

"Peng Yuxian, don't think I won't do anything to you. Let her go, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Qiu Pi warned him, secretly raising one hand, his whole body brimming with power, ready to strike.

"Let me go!" Geng Miaowan nudged him backward with her elbow, but not with much force. She knew that with his strength, she couldn't touch him at all while he was restraining her from behind.

But Peng Yuxian didn't dodge, and her elbow bumped against his waist. This force was like a tickle to him. He grabbed her hand, which she was trying to pull back, and whispered, "Baby, you're so passionate towards me."

After saying that, he gently kissed her ear again, "I'm leaving now, I'll come find you again next time." He released her before Qiu Pi could launch an attack, stepped back, and looked at her angry face with a playful expression, adding, "If he hasn't eaten you up yet."

After saying that, his figure disappeared at the other end of the passage, with only scattered rose petals on the ground as proof that a person who seemed to be a madman had just appeared.

After Geng Miaowan saw him walk away, she looked away, opened the door and went into the room. As she turned to close the door, Qiu Pi's hand blocked her way. "Miss Geng..."

She looked at him, her eyes devoid of emotion, because she didn't know how she should face him after suddenly learning such a truth, or what kind of emotion she should display to be considered correct.

Sadness? Being deceived? I'm sorry, she didn't feel any of those emotions at that moment. Instead, her heart suddenly calmed down, without a ripple of emotion.

However, seeing the determination in his eyes, she let go and let him in. Because she knew that if he wanted to come in, she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.

Geng Miaowan didn't care whether he came in or not, and sat down on the sofa. Huangfu Aoxuan stood next to her, and Xu Ruwen poured Geng Miaowan a glass of water and then stood to the side. These two people are now becoming more and more like two competent bodyguards.

Qiu Pi walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her. His gaze swept over her face for a moment before settling on the silk scarf around her neck. After a long pause, he said, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

"I don't want to know about your grudges, I just want to know..." Geng Miaowan picked up the water glass on the coffee table, the steam rising from it hitting her face like a warm current, slightly lifting her spirits which had been somewhat dampened by Peng Yuxian. "What exactly are you people?" (To be continued.)
