Chapter 153 - 150: I Wanted to Plan Slowly, but It Spread Like Wildfire

Chapter 153: Chapter 150: I Wanted to Plan Slowly, but It Spread Like Wildfire

Huo Xun took action afterward, and not only was Wu Feihong punished and taken back into custody to be sentenced, but the prosecutor handling the case also faced related disciplinary actions.

After Wu Feihong’s verdict was announced, the resentful energy around Ning Chenyu gradually dissipated.

After Qin Zhao allowed him to meet with his parents and girlfriend, he summoned the Netherworld Envoy to send him off for reincarnation.

At first, Ning Chenyu’s girlfriend couldn’t see him, but knowing that he was protecting her, she broke down in tears after Qin Zhao allowed them to meet, though they only had time for a farewell.

Different paths for the living and the dead; no matter how much Ning Chenyu yearned for his family, he still had to be reincarnated.

After this matter was finally resolved, Qin Zhao received a call from Chu Yan.

"Lu Tingming is hosting a banquet, do you want to attend?"

This banquet was quite grand, and attendees were required to bring a female companion.

Chu Yan didn’t want to have any contact with other women. He had a wife, why should he look for someone else?

Furthermore, Xu Zhiwei had inquired about this, subtly expressing her desire to be his companion. Naturally, Chu Yan refused, and then asked Qin Zhao.

"A banquet at the Lu Family?"

Qin Zhao raised her eyebrows in surprise, quite curious about the relationship between Chu Yan and the Lu Family.

Also, she had modified the Feng Shui Bureau of the Lu family mansion last time and wondered if anyone had restored it.

"Where is the banquet being held?"

"Right at the Lu Family’s home."

"Then I’ll go take a look."

The Lu Family was holding this banquet because Lu Tingming’s youngest son, Lu Zhixing, had received a prestigious international art award, which made Lu Tingming particularly proud.

Lu Zhixing, the youngest son, had been very artistic from a young age and had no interest in business or politics. Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing had hoped to cultivate him into a well-known artist.

Whether it was Lu Zhiheng or Lu Zhixing, any achievement would make Lu Tingming extremely proud.

As for the things Chu Yan did for him, he took them for granted.

If Chu Yan failed, being scolded was a minor issue; Lu Tingming wouldn’t hesitate to resort to physical punishment.

Perhaps, this was the difference between having a mother’s protection and not.

Or maybe, he didn’t want Xu Biqing to think that he cared much about this "illegitimate child."

To attend this banquet, Chu Yan bought Qin Zhao a very expensive dress.

The dress was not only custom-tailored but also designed by a top domestic designer who liked to sell based on fate, and not just anyone with money could buy it.

Two hours before the banquet, Qin Zhao still hadn’t changed her clothes.

Chu Yan asked her, "What do you plan to wear?"

"I asked Xiao Tong to help me borrow a dress, it will be delivered in a bit."

"I bought you one."

"Hmm?" Qin Zhao looked at him confusedly, "How do you know my size?"

"Why not try it on? The size should be right."

His chilly gaze swept over her figure as he said, "When I used to study anatomy, I could remember the main measurements of any corpse I touched."

Meaning, "If I’ve touched it, I can remember it."

Qin Zhao’s complexion instantly darkened, "Didn’t you say that you don’t remember that night’s events?"

That Rainy Night Butcher tried to possess Chu Yan, and he did many oversteps with Qin Zhao, only to innocently claim the next day that he didn’t remember, that he knew nothing.

The places that shouldn’t have been touched were no doubt those he’d touched that night.

Chu Yan’s expression paused for a moment, "Even though I don’t remember, when choosing the dress, I could imagine what size you probably wear. What I said just now is also likely correct, but what if it’s not?"

This guy started to play word games with Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao replied with a "Heh," regretting that after beating him up that day, she still felt a twinge of guilt!

Guilt, my foot—this damn dog deserved it!

Every time she wasn’t careful, she had no idea how many times he had tricked her!

Seeing her displeased expression, Chu Yan took her to his room, "This dress is quite expensive, it cost me a lot of money, try it on.

The Qin family seems to be attending the banquet too, you’ll definitely dazzle them to death."

"Don’t think you can distract me and I’ll forget what happened that day," Qin Zhao shook off his hand, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you? You just wanted to take advantage of me!"

"Yes, I don’t just want to take advantage, I want to..."

She had thought that Chu Yan would continue pretending, but he admitted it.

His eyes were deep, and he leaned down toward her.

His cool fingertips lifted a strand of hair from her shoulder, smiling enigmatically, and he whispered two extremely explicit words so softly, red with desire and madness for possession flaring up in the depths of his eyes.

"You dare!"

Qin Zhao fiercely pushed him away, her expression angry.

After pushing him away, she ran into those deep phoenix eyes.

Those intensely invasive and cold gazes were all too familiar to her, and she couldn’t help but feel her body heat up.

Until he slowly smiled, "I’m not joking with you anymore, go change your clothes."

The smile didn’t reach his eyes, but the suffocating sense of constraint had dissipated quite a bit.

He turned and left the room, and Qin Zhao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the door, Chu Yan leaned against the wall waiting for her.

With his long lashes lowered, the handsome face showed indecisive emotions.

While studying for his doctorate in psychology, Chu Yan had undergone a psychological test, and his advisor had suggested that he receive some psychological therapy.

Because his empathy and compassion were too low, his repression of himself was too deep, resulting in a latent shadow personality that was an extremely vicious beast.

If this beast lost control, it would cause extremely serious consequences.

Fortunately, Chu Yan had a very strong sense of self-control and wouldn’t allow any mistakes or loss of control before achieving his goals.

Even the Rainy Night Butcher who wanted to remove his soul and possess his body would be devoured by the beast within him.

But that day, seeing Qin Zhao, dripping wet, sitting in his arms, he lost control.

He had intended to proceed gradually, but it was like a wildfire out of control.

If Qin Zhao hadn’t suppressed him with force, she would have been completely devoured by him that night.

And it would be the kind of consumption that left nothing behind, and it might even happen repeatedly in the future.

Qin Zhao saw the dress in the wardrobe; it was Klein blue. Despite the simple cut, once she put it on, it exuded an indescribable sense of luxury.

Her features were bright and exquisite, and the dress made her appear even more cold and noble.

Only, the zipper was at the back.

Qin Zhao had just pulled it up a bit when the zipper caught her hair.

After a moment of thought, she gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Yan, come in here."

"What’s wrong?"

He pushed the door and entered, seeing Qin Zhao with her back to him.

Even from behind, her figure was graceful and enchanting, deepening his gaze.

Chu Yan had seen many women with good figures, but to him, they were no different from the corpses on the dissection table.

Only Qin Zhao was the exception.

Just by standing there, he liked everything about her, wanting to possess her completely.

"Help me pull up the zipper."

Chu Yan stepped forward, and the cool pad of his finger accidentally touched the skin on her back.

Qin Zhao immediately held her breath, feeling somewhat nervous.
