Chapter 650: The Act to Make Luo Shen Fully Believe

Chapter 650: Putting on a Show to Make Luo Shen Completely Believe

Wu Yue said with a serious expression, "Shen Que, you know, spouses are also guardians. As your only lawful guardian now, if I confirm that your mental state is unstable, I can send you to a mental hospital for treatment."

Shen Que nonchalantly shrugged, "Then hurry up and contact them. Make sure they assign a few more security guards. It'd be boring if nobody in the whole place could put up a fight."

Wu Yue grabbed her head in frustration, "Can you act normal?!"

Shen Que slowly buttoned his shirt and suddenly grinned when he saw the marks on his neck in the mirror.

Wu Yue’s gaze fell on the hickeys on Shen Que’s neck and the scratch marks on his shoulders, back, chest, and abs. She averted her eyes, feeling irritated by his rogueish, sexy attitude.

Wu Yue urged him, "Can you hurry up? Who are you dressing up so nicely for? Always flirting around without any sense of male virtue—who are you trying to seduce?"

Shen Que replied with a drawn-out voice, glancing at her sideways, "For you to see, to seduce you. Do you like it? If you do, just go for it."

Wu Yue said earnestly, "You’re acting like a total scumbag right now."

Shen Que sneered, "Who made me young and naive? My first intimate embrace, first kiss, first love, first night, and first marriage were all with a woman who tricked me for money and played with my feelings, then dumped me. And she kept deceiving me over and over again. I was forced to grow up because of it."

Wu Yue declared, "You were willing all along."

When you're already deep in, what's a little more? She could now calmly accept her role as the scumbag who cheated others out of money and feelings.

Shen Que said slowly, "Yeah, I just enjoy being pathetic, eagerly letting you trample all over me."

Wu Yue was so startled that she immediately shut her mouth and turned to leave the bedroom.

Terrifying... absolutely terrifying...

This man now had no bottom line or sense of shame whatsoever. He could say such shameless things without blushing or losing his composure!

When Shen Que finally left the room, he was once again serious, aloof, and expressionless, with none of the earlier lecherous rogue act.

Shen Que said coldly and distantly, "Let’s go."

Before stepping out, Shen Que glanced sideways and said, "We need to clarify our current relationship."

Wu Yue understood, "You’re the scumbag who’s grown cold, torn between love and hatred for me, even washing my underwear while giving me the cold shoulder. I’m the pitiful, innocent woman, carrying your child while enduring both physical and emotional torment, dropped from head wife to side chick, constantly facing challenges from the current official wife. But this script obviously won’t work in front of Lu Xiu. Right now, Lu Xiu is just playing it by ear, taking advantage of Sister Luo Shen and Dylan."

Shen Que nodded, "Don’t worry about Lu Xiu. Just stick to this script."

Wu Yue nodded, "Alright."

After agreeing, Wu Yue walked out alone. Noticing Shen Que hadn’t moved, she asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Que said, "With your tough, ready-to-fight attitude that looks like you could take down everyone, you don’t match the poor, delicate flower role even a little."

He moved his arm slightly, "Shouldn’t you at least reluctantly, like you're making a sacrifice, hold my arm?"

Wu Yue thought, "That doesn’t suit my personality. Really, Sister Luo Shen wouldn’t believe it."

Shen Que remained impassive, "Then how do you usually interact with Lu Xiu?"

Wu Yue replied fearlessly, "This worthless life of mine—every day's a battle from the moment I wake up. I control my own destiny, not heaven. If he upsets me, I slap him right then and there."

Shen Que pondered, so that’s why Lu Xiu had said Luo Shen and Wu Yue had the same steely resolve, taking punishment without a sound.

Shen Que asked tentatively, "Doesn’t Lu Xiu get angry?"

Wu Yue nodded, "He does. Usually, when he's angry, he just leaves. When he's really furious, he burns me with his 'evil energy,' but that power can’t hurt me.

Now that I mention it, the only time he went too far was when he twisted my arm."

Wu Yue suddenly looked at Shen Que, "But based on how terrible you are now, you’ve surpassed him—the newbie's outdoing the veteran.

He wasn't wrong to Diss you. You’ve even reached under my clothes and messed around—he’s never been that harsh.

You’ve also left me black and blue all over, Shen Que. This is domestic violence."

Hearing Wu Yue’s words siding with Lu Xiu, Shen Que’s expression turned grim. He stared icily at her, clearly about to lose his temper.

Suppressing a laugh, Wu Yue walked over and linked her arm through his. Shen Que’s arm pressed against her sweater as he shot her a meaningful look.

"What do you mean by this now?"

Wu Yue tilted her head, "Aren’t I getting into character? You said it yourself."

Shen Que pretended to be reserved, turning away. "You said she wouldn't believe it."

Wu Yue leaned closer to him, "Then it’s a test of your acting skills, isn’t it?"

Shen Que glanced down at how Wu Yue’s sweater pressed against his arm and subtly shifted his arm slightly. Wu Yue’s face flushed slightly.

"You pervert."

Shen Que wrapped an arm around Wu Yue’s waist and led her out. "Wu Yue, your body's just too sensitive now. Even a slight touch from me makes you turn red."

Wu Yue glared at him, "Once we step out that door, watch your mouth!"

Shen Que smirked sideways, "If I can’t talk, how am I supposed to put on a performance later?"

Wu Yue turned away, ignoring him, as Shen Que held her tighter.

Luo Shen had just seen Angel Ambika and was on her way to see Lu Xiu.

The two groups met in the elevator, one going up, the other down.

The moment Luo Shen saw Wu Yue, she quickly pressed the elevator’s open button.

She tried to pull Wu Yue to her side, but Shen Que swiftly moved Wu Yue behind him, his expression icy and detached as he glared at Luo Shen.

"I told you to stay away."

Luo Shen’s suspicious gaze fell on Wu Yue, noticing how Shen Que had her bundled up tightly, and she felt a sense of dread.

Luo Shen asked anxiously, "Baby, are you okay?"

Shen Que looked impatient. Wu Yue cautiously tugged at the back of his uniform. Shen Que glanced sideways, his eyes cold. "What?"

Wu Yue pursed her lips. "Can I talk to Sister Luo Shen for a moment?"

Shen Que sneered, "Are you negotiating terms with me? What gives you the right?"

Wu Yue lowered her head, balled her fists, and said, "I've agreed to everything you said. I just want to say a few words."

Shen Que reached out with his slender fingers, lifted Wu Yue's chin, and pulled her close by her waist. He smirked viciously,

"Fine, then I want you right now, right here, to entertain me.

As long as I'm happy, I'll let you say a few words to this spirit."

Luo Shen angrily clenched her fists and immediately used wood magic against Shen Que.

The moment Wu Yue saw this, her face fell, and she turned around to put herself between them. Though Luo Shen tried to pull back her magic, the vine branch still struck Wu Yue's back hard.

The rough vine branch tore through Wu Yue's sweater. When Luo Shen saw the bruised marks on Wu Yue's back, her face twisted in horror.

She looked at Shen Que in disbelief, "You beast!! How could you treat Baobei like this!!

She's pregnant, and you still did this—have you no humanity?!"

Shen Que held Wu Yue tightly in his arms, subtly examining the injury on her back.

He had barely used any force when he pinched her earlier—those injuries looked frightening but were merely based on the principles of soft tissue contusions and ruptured subcutaneous capillaries, causing no real pain.

With his current strength, Wu Yue's body couldn't withstand it, but it was all just couple's games.

However, Wu Yue had taken a solid hit from the vine branch while shielding him, leaving half her back torn and bleeding profusely, a truly ghastly sight.

It was all just an act, but Wu Yue had gone to such lengths. Shen Que instantly felt real fury.

He looked coldly at Luo Shen, his eyes flickering with real murderous intent.

Shen Que narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice low and sinister, "If that had hit me, you'd already be dead."

His fully unleashed spiritual power, combined with the overwhelming gap in their official Order Officer ranks, weighed Luo Shen down with devastating pressure, making it impossible for her to even lift her head.

Wu Yue slumped weakly into Shen Que's arms, her face pale and sweat pearling on her forehead.

She cast a sidelong glance at Luo Shen, her words earnest, even pleading,

"Sister, please stop worrying about me. Leave quickly.

He's already killed many Order Officers. I don’t want you and Dylan to die because of me too."

Seeing Wu Yue so weak, Luo Shen finally lowered her proud head. She looked at Shen Que with fear and submission, "At least let me treat the baby's wounds."

Shen Que's expression icy, he lifted Wu Yue with one arm around her waist and carried her back into the room.

Before entering, he cast a sidelong glance at Luo Shen,

"From now on, if you dare call my wife 'baby' again, I'll rip your mouth open."

Luo Shen gritted her teeth fiercely, afraid that Wu Yue might get hurt again while protecting Shen Que. She could only suppress her seething anger and agree:

"I understand."
