Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

How exactly did he manage to make you unable to forget him?

While she hesitated, Jin Wuchen finished speaking, put his arm around her waist, wrapped it tightly around her, and lowered his head to kiss her lips fiercely.

This domineering kiss felt like he wanted to suck Chu Luo into his body.

He forbids anyone from coveting his prey, and even more so, he forbids his prey from escaping without permission.

Chu Luo couldn't break free and couldn't breathe, as if she were drowning in water, a feeling of suffocation washing over her.

She had experienced this feeling before, this kind of painful despair, and she needed to endure it a little longer.

Once you stop breathing completely, after the pain, despair, and suffering, you will become unusually calm.

But she didn't know what she had done wrong.

Whether it was from sadness, grievance, or disappointment in Jin Wuchen, she stopped struggling and tears streamed down her face.

Jin Wuchen released her, stunned by the immense sorrow in her eyes, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He wiped away her tears, tenderly cupped her face, and asked softly with red eyes, "What makes me inferior to that person?"

Seeing the tension and heartache in his eyes, Chu Luo felt inexplicably wronged.

He once risked danger to solve the problem of the Lilan Dam because of her request.

He was still the one who, when she was cowering in extreme fear, told her not to be afraid, that he would come and take her away.

But before she could finish speaking, he vented his anger on her.

She couldn't speak, and tears kept flowing.

At this moment, Jin Wuchen didn't want to ask anything anymore and pulled her into his arms.

She sighed and said softly, "Never mind, I won't ask anything anymore."

Chu Luo stepped out of his arms, looked at him, and sobbed, "Why... why did you misunderstand before I could finish speaking?"

"I don't know why he's interested in me. I didn't do anything. Is it my fault?"

Chu Luo's aggrieved voice was soft and clear, without the slightest hint of sharpness, like warm water hitting one's heart.

Every word he spoke sent a shiver down one's spine.

A stunning beauty, each tear a star, shattered beyond recognition.

Jin Wuchen didn't say anything, and shook his head when he saw her aggrieved look.

She's so beautiful that people will like her wherever she stands, and she's always needed.

"I've always kept my distance from him, never exchanging more than ten words with him, and I've been distant and cold towards him. How come we're having such a pleasant conversation?" Chu Luo said reproachfully.

Every glance she gives you makes you feel like you're the most wicked person imaginable, that she could utter such resentment.

As she spoke, tears welled up in her clear eyes again, and she asked tremblingly, "Why didn't you even ask me if I liked him?"

Jin Wuchen leaned down and gently wiped away the two tears, asking, "What is the answer to that question?"

Chu Luo shook her head, utterly serious. "We've had some interactions, but in this lifetime, I will never like him."

"There is no one better than you, so how am I supposed to answer your question about where you are inferior to others?"

Chu Luo's eyes were brimming with tears, which seemed about to fall, as she looked at him with a resentful and aggrieved expression.

Jin Wuchen didn't expect Chu Luo to say that, "So before this, I was the best one in your heart?"

Now that he has forcibly hurt Chu Luo, he doesn't expect her to say yes.

But Chu Luo nodded firmly, much to everyone's surprise.

Jin Wuchen's anger, jealousy, and the fighting spirit that had been ignited had long since vanished, leaving only joy and guilt.

At this moment, Jin Wuchen, whose heart was completely softened, gently coaxed, "Don't cry, okay? Your eyes are all swollen."

Chu Luo pushed him away, dodged to the side, and said without looking at him, "You almost killed me just now, why are you bothering me now?"

Jin Wuchen thought she was incredibly cute like this.

But he also felt innocent, and said with a helpless smile, "When did I say I wanted to kill you, and how would I kill you?"

"Just now, weren't you trying to smother me in your anger?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Wuchen went through his thoughts, recalling where he had implied he wanted to smother her.

Looking at Chu Luo's lips, he understood what she meant.

"A normal kiss won't kill you no matter how long you kiss. The problem is you don't know how to breathe properly. I'll teach you; you should do it like this..."

As he spoke, Jin Wuchen took a big step forward, gently pulling her into his arms with one hand and covering Chu Luo's tearful eyes with the other.

He lowered his head and kissed her, unlike before when it was like a raging storm.

Instead, he kissed her gently and slowly, allowing Chu Luo to adjust and guiding her to resume normal breathing.

After realizing that her breathing had returned to normal, Jin Wuchen did not let go of her and deepened the kiss.

Chu Luo was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she lost all strength in her limbs and could barely stand. She instinctively hugged him.

He understood her body's reaction and promptly supported her waist and back with his hand.

As they kissed, the kisses progressed from light to passionate and then to intense.

Jin Wuchen was no longer satisfied with just kissing; his hand reached for Chu Luo's sash and swiftly tore it open.

Chu Luo's clothes suddenly became much looser, making her feel insecure. She opened her eyes, and a trace of clarity returned to them.

She bit down hard, ending the almost unstoppable kiss, knowing what would happen if it continued.

Jin Wuchen, unperturbed by the interruption, looked at her with eyes full of lust and asked, "Hmm?"

Chu Luo shook her head, knowing that he was not to be approached right now, and wanted to take a step back to get away from him.

Jin Wuchen understood what she meant; she didn't want to continue.

He didn't let her escape; he pulled her close, hugged her tightly, and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "I'm not going to do anything else, I just want to hug you for a little while."

"Mmm," Chu Luo responded.

"You went to that place today and lied to me. I was jealous and angry, so I used the wrong approach."

Jin Wuchen spoke calmly, giving Chu Luo an explanation.

"what?"

Chu Luo was surprised that he would directly say what he was thinking and even say that he was jealous.

"sorry"

"Huh? What did you say?" Chu Luo was stunned by his series of words and didn't hear him clearly.

"I'm sorry," Jin Wuchen said again.

He actually apologized to her.

Many people have done wrong and wronged Chu Luo, but she rarely hears anyone apologize to her.

She will apologize to others, but often it is out of necessity or as a stopgap measure.

Her heartless and incompetent father had done countless wrong things, and despite knowing he was wrong, he had never uttered a single apology throughout his life.

Besides, who is he? Jin Wuchen.

Hearing him apologize was more shocking than hearing "I'll kill you."

"You're Jin Wuchen?"

Jin Wuchen pulled away from her neck and chuckled, "Otherwise what? Fake?"

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Chu Luo was bewildered, as she had always been treated poorly.

"Because I lost control of my emotions, I really misunderstood you."

Chu Luo knew exactly who he was. He had probably wronged and harmed countless people, perhaps tens of thousands, if not tens of thousands.

If he were to repent and offer a heartfelt apology, he would likely spend the rest of his life apologizing.

So she didn't believe he would actually apologize for it.

Seeing her expression, Jin Wu revealed another reason: "Also, because I care about you."

Jin Wuchen looked at her, smiling, but his tone was extremely serious.

Chu Luo avoided his gaze and said "Oh" in a low voice.

He was speaking quite loudly; if she pretended not to hear him, it would make her seem like she had a real hearing problem.

She didn't want to hear him say it again; her heart was already pounding enough.
