: Is it because I don't want to? Former fiancé, Mr.

Su Yuan cursed the system a hundred times in her heart for being unreliable.

The system muttered a defense of itself: "This is no longer within my jurisdiction. I can't control codename A, so naturally I can't control codename X either..."

Su Yuan spread her fingers apart as she covered her face.

Besides Song Shixiu, who else would call her his fiancée?

Su Yuan immediately retorted, "She's my ex-fiancée. Please watch your words."

Song Shixiu still had Western-style medium-length hair, except that he had two orange earrings.

He was dressed in traditional Western menswear, and every move he made exuded elegance and nobility.

But these are all superficial appearances.

Only Su Yuan knew the gloom and obsession in his bones.

With her body limp and no longer supported by Song Shixiu, Su Yuan collapsed completely onto the carpet. She gritted her teeth and demanded, "Why are you here? And why did you shamelessly drug me?!"

Song Shixiu looked down at Su Yuan, at the face that haunted his dreams, and leaned down to lift a strand of Su Yuan's hair.

Take a light sniff.

She murmured, "I remember, you liked orange-scented shampoo."

"I don't like it anymore."

Song Shixiu chuckled softly, a faint shadow appearing in his eyes. "So, what do you like now?"

"The heir of the Zhou family."

"Or is he an abandoned son of the Qi family?"

Su Yuan felt a sense of unease at being spied on. She took a deep breath and said, "You're spying on me."

When did that bastard Song Shixiu find out she was at the Federal Headquarters in Beijing?

When did you arrive in Beijing?

But one thing is certain: he must have been watching from the shadows for a long time.

"It's not illegal to care about your fiancée." Song Shixiu's voice was gentle, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

"We're over," Su Yuan retorted.

Song Shixiu's eyes darkened as he slowly traced his fingers across Su Yuan's cheek. "Who agreed?"

"Ah Yuan, you were the one who provoked me first."

"It's too late to quit halfway through."

Su Yuan moved her cheek away from his fingers and said, word by word, "Song Shixiu, you're simply insane."

Song Shixiu lowered his head and chuckled softly.

He stroked his face with one hand, a bewitching smile playing on his lips. "That's right."

"I am sick, A-Yuan. I've told you before, you are my cure."

"Since you like Beijing, I will accept the Federal Bureau's invitation to become a professor at the School of Pharmacy."

"Ah Yuan, you can't shake me off."

Seeing Song Shixiu's increasingly frantic state, Su Yuan urgently threatened: "System, you'd better have a way to solve my problem, otherwise..."

Before the words were even finished, the system's boastful voice rang in my mind.

System: [A need has been detected in the host. The system has activated the exchange service.]

[Based on the host's request, the system recommends that the host exchange for: Purification Pill, value: 0.1 lifespan value.]

[Host's current lifespan: 5. Would you like to redeem?]

This is robbery! No, this is murder!

Song Shixiu picked Su Yuan up from the ground and placed her on the sofa.

He knelt on the sofa, loosening his tie with one hand. "Ah Yuan, shouldn't you repay what you owe me?"

"Knock knock—"

"Little one, are you awake yet?" Zhou Si's voice came from outside the door.

This voice was undoubtedly Song Shixiu's catalyst.

He threw away his tie, and with his long, handsome fingers, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his distinct collarbone.

Song Shixiu stroked Su Yuan's ankle and kissed it lightly with his thin lips, "I should have tied both your feet up back then."

That way they can't escape.

"Yeah?"

Su Yuan's fist landed precisely on Song Shixiu's jaw and cheek as he looked up, and she kicked him hard in the waist and abdomen.

Song Shixiu sat on the ground, chuckled twice, and with one hand holding his chin, snapped his jaw back into place.

"Ah Yuan is so cruel." The gloom in his eyes had cleared up considerably. More than a year had been enough for him to improve and be able to control his emotions more accurately.

Su Yuan rubbed her wrist, stood barefoot in front of Song Shixiu, and said coldly, "Song Shixiu, don't go crazy."

Song Shixiu didn't get angry but laughed, as if he had received some kind of reward.

"If A-Yuan doesn't like it, I'll change it."

He lifted Su Yuan's feet in his hands and put her shoes on. "The ground is cold. There's no need to hurt yourself if you're angry with me."

Su Yuan sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Song Shixiu was truly mentally ill.

"Little one, what's that sound coming from inside?"

"Who's in your room?" Zhou Si listened to the noises inside and realized it wasn't just one person.

Which bastard is in the little one's room?!

Realizing this, Zhou Si knocked on the door even more vigorously.

Su Yuan had no doubt that if she didn't open the door, Zhou Si would smash it open.

There aren't many apartments left in Federal District S, and she has no intention of moving.

Su Yuan put on her shoes and kicked Song Shixiu. "Go open the door."

She turned and sat on the sofa, listening to the system's settlement notification.

System: [0.1 lifespan points have been deducted from the host's lifespan; current lifespan: 4.9]

Song Shixiu was the most rigid and concerned about his image.

As soon as the door opened, Song Shixiu, his collar wide open and hair slightly disheveled, gave a formulaic smile. "What is it?"

Zhou Si gripped the cake ribbon tightly in her hand. Sure enough, there was a strange man there!

"Who are you?"

No, he wants to ask the little one directly!

Zhou Si bypassed Song Shixiu and rushed to Su Yuan, shouting, "Little thing, who is this?!"

Before he knew it, a slutty wild man had appeared in his life!

Su Yuan knew this would happen, and was about to explain that this was not some random man, but someone from the Pharmacy Academy who wanted to take her in and was there to deliver medicine or something.

But before she could speak, Song Shixiu's low laughter came from beside her.

He asked knowingly, "Ah Yuan, this must be Judge Zhou, right?"

Song Shixiu walked slowly to Su Yuan's side and stood there. He didn't look directly at Zhou Si. Although he maintained a certain level of politeness, his tone was unmistakably provocative.

"Thank you for your care during this time, Judge Zhou."

Zhou Si's eyes darkened. "I'm asking about the little thing. Who do you think you are?"

Song Shixiu seemed to have been waiting for Zhou Si to say this. He turned his head slightly, a faint smile curving his lips, and said in a warm voice, "My fiancée is naughty and probably hasn't introduced me to anyone."

"My name is Song Shixiu, and I'm A Yuan's fiancé."

Su Yuan sensed the tension. She raised her hand and stood between the two of them. "To correct you, he was my ex-fiancé, not me now."

When Zhou Si saw Su Yuan directly undermining the man in front of him, he immediately sneered disdainfully, "They're both exes, why are you acting like such a big shot?"

"Since there's no introduction, it seems unimportant."

Song Shixiu was not angry when Su Yuan denied his identity on the spot. He calmly said, "I heard that Judge Zhou is just my ex-boyfriend."

Song Shixiu's meaning was very clear.

An ex-boyfriend and an ex-fiancé are not the same.

Zhou Si smiled wickedly, the earring on his ear curving upwards, and said with a sly grin, "You're already my fiancé, how come you still haven't kept the little one?"

"Is it that you don't want to?"

"My ex-fiancé, Mr. Song?" Zhou Si deliberately emphasized the word "ex".
