Fu Qiyuan’s gaze was deep, a cold light flashing in his eyes as an overwhelming chill suddenly filled the air. 

Su Ran instinctively thought to pull her hand back, “This little injury just needs a band–aid.” 

“It’s poisoned.” 

Su Ran: 

“Don’t move.” 

Fu Qiyuan restrained her wrist, his movements gentle and careful, yet the words he uttered sent a shiver down one’s spine. 

“Don’t always say you’re fine. Girls don’t need to be that strong.” 

Su Ran paused slightly.

But she had not met the person who could make her shed her disguise. 

It’s nothing? 

Under what circumstances would a woman say she’s 

fine? 

It’s just that she knew that acting coy would bring no one’s sympathy or attention.

But now… 

She truly was alone! 

Su Ran hastily averted her head, her expression tightly controlled, not daring to reveal her emotions at that 

moment.

“Valuable as you are.” 

The man’s tone was undisturbed, yet his words. somehow made one’s heart race and cheeks flush. 

Su Ran’s heartbeat skipped once more, her ears. gradually turning red. 

“Mr. Fu, have you always been so good at sweet–talking?” 

“Sweet–talking?” 

Fu Qiyuan was somewhat puzzled, he pondered for a moment, “I’ve only ever sweet–talked you.”

Su Ran’s starry eyes were half–lifted, a questioning look on her face. 

“You said that no man could ever be content with only 

one woman.” 

Su Ran was startled; indeed, she had said that. 

“There are always exceptions.” 

At those words, Su Ran laughed softly, her face bright 

with a beautiful smile.
