Chapter 82

As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

---

In the midst of the results, there was only the sound of a "swoosh."

With the force of their respective retreats, Liu Min's T-shirt and bra were forcefully pulled off by Xu Jianxing, as if a bunch of green onions had been peeled, revealing half of her white, smooth body. The two snow-white mounds were still trembling, and the two pink beads on them, like gems, flickered, stirring the heart, making one unable to resist being drawn in.

Even the butterfly mask on Liu Min's face was pulled off at this moment.

Faced with such a scene, both of them were completely stunned.

"Ahh!" After a few seconds, Liu Min let out an unconscious scream, then covered her chest and turned to squat down.

Xu Jianxing also immediately came to his senses, his face full of embarrassment. He never expected this to happen, but the act still had to continue. He feigned shock and asked, "Director Liu, how could it be you?"

"Don't talk, don't talk, quickly give me my clothes back." Liu Min felt like she was about to go crazy. She couldn't understand how today's events had escalated to this point. Not only had she not obtained any information, but she had also exposed her body, which she had cherished for many years, to Xu Jianxing's full view.

"Uh." Xu Jianxing was embarrassed again, then threw the clothes over and turned around, saying, "Director Liu, go change in the room."

Liu Min turned her head and looked at Xu Jianxing's back with shame and anger, then picked up the clothes from the ground and ran into the room in two quick steps. Immediately, she slammed the door shut.

Xu Jianxing shook his head with a bitter smile, not knowing what to do next. This time, he really went too far, but he felt it was somewhat worth it. Before facing Liu Min's anger, he at least got to admire that breathtaking whiteness. Even now, he was still savoring it. As for using the Eagle Eye technique to check again, Xu Jianxing had no interest or mood for it.

After a short while,

Xu Jianxing heard the door open, followed by Liu Min's muffled voice, "Come in, let's talk."

After some thought, Liu Min clearly knew that they might not reach any conclusion, but she was not willing to leave so easily.

"Okay." Xu Jianxing smiled awkwardly, turned around, and walked into the room under Liu Min's glare. He naturally noticed her unnatural behavior of covering her chest, guessing that the bra clasp had been pulled off, but he didn't look further to avoid causing more trouble.

After they sat down,

Liu Min stared straight at Xu Jianxing and asked with hatred, "What do you plan to do?"

"Uh." Xu Jianxing was taken aback again, then shook his head in a bit of a dilemma and said carefully, "I don't know what to do. What do you think?"

"You..." Liu Min felt suffocated with anger and then asked in frustration, "Are you even a man? How can you have no sense of responsibility?"

Hearing this, Xu Jianxing was not pleased. Regardless of whether she was a deputy director or not, he said bluntly, "Whether I am a man, you'll know if you try."

"You bastard." Liu Min was instantly furious. She had suffered so much and received no kind words, and he still dared to speak so harshly and crudely. How could she not be upset? She said with a hint of threat, "Do you believe I can lock you up for life and never let you out?"

"Only if you have the ability." Xu Jianxing was thoroughly annoyed and said coldly. He hated being threatened and could not accept it.

"Ah!" Seeing Xu Jianxing's attitude, the straightforward Liu Min felt more wronged than ever. Not only had her body been seen, but she was also being provoked. She couldn't help but burst into tears, sobbing on the table.

Xu Jianxing hated being threatened, but he was most afraid of women crying. Liu Min's actions made him feel a bit flustered. He quickly walked to her side and said with a bitter smile, "Can you stop crying? I admit it was my fault, okay?"

"What do you mean it was your fault? It was your fault from the beginning." Liu Min sobbed.

"If you hadn't sneaked into my house, making me think you were a thief, would this have happened?" Xu Jianxing muttered softly.

Though his voice was low, Liu Min heard it clearly. The truth was the truth, but it was not pleasant to hear. Women can be very unreasonable at times, and Liu Min, gritting her teeth, said, "So you mean it's not your fault at all, and I just delivered myself to you?"

"Not exactly." Xu Jianxing smiled awkwardly, but in his heart, he thought, "Even if it wasn't, it's not much different."

However, he didn't dare say that, or today's situation might not end well. Although he could be impulsive at times, he wasn't a fool.

Hearing Xu Jianxing's words, Liu Min felt a bit better and decided not to pursue the matter further. After all, even if they pursued it, they wouldn't reach any conclusion. Asking Xu Jianxing for money was a joke; she didn't lack money or need it. Asking Xu Jianxing to take responsibility was also absurd; she wasn't an ancient woman. Reporting to the police would be pointless; Xu Jianxing had no responsibility, and even if he did, she couldn't afford the embarrassment.

But she didn't want to leave so easily, or she would be seen as weak. Liu Min steadied her emotions and said, "I have one last question for you, and I hope you answer honestly."

"No problem, no problem." Xu Jianxing nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.

Liu Min, seeing Xu Jianxing's attitude, felt suffocated again. It seemed to her that he just wanted her to leave quickly, making her think, "Am I so unattractive?"

This is the strange nature of women's thoughts; you can never guess what they are thinking.

Although very unsatisfied, Liu Min didn't dwell on this issue. She got straight to the point, "I just want to know if you are Miss Isabella's savior. I hope you answer me truthfully."

As she spoke, Liu Min stared intently at Xu Jianxing's eyes, while Xu Jianxing scratched his head and feigned confusion, "What savior? Did Miss Isabella encounter any danger?"

Xu Jianxing had already guessed that he might be asked this question when Liu Min went to change clothes. After all, her main purpose for coming here was probably this.

Whether he said yes or no, Liu Min would definitely deduce that he was Isabella's savior. If he said no, Liu Min would naturally wonder how she could know about Isabella's life-threatening situation. If he said yes, he wouldn't need to explain anything; he could just demonstrate it.

Honestly, Xu Jianxing was very troubled by this question. If nothing had happened, he could have answered truthfully without any problem.

But after exposing Liu Min's body, answering this way would make her think that his actions were somewhat intentional and somewhat accidental. She might even think it was all intentional, and the consequences of such a misunderstanding would be unpredictable.

What troubled Xu Jianxing was that if Isabella continued to cling to him, Liu Min would eventually figure something out. If they met again, it would be awkward. No matter what, Xu Jianxing felt it was best to get out of this situation quickly. Liu Min might never know about Isabella's clinginess, and it would be even better if he could drive Isabella away before that happened.

This was the problem Xu Jianxing could foresee.

At the same time, Liu Min was relatively satisfied with Xu Jianxing's response, which matched her expectations. Xu Jianxing could not possibly be that expert. She immediately stood up and said with a warning, "I hope no one else knows about what happened today. Otherwise, don't blame me for using my power to do something excessive. Also, you must forget everything that happened today."

"Definitely, definitely." Xu Jianxing smiled and said, thinking to himself, "If I could forget, that would be a miracle."

The large, white "buns," Xu Jianxing believed, would be remembered by any man for a long time, especially those of a deputy director. This was very stimulating to think about. If it were a uniform fetishist, they might remember it for a lifetime. Xu Jianxing felt he would not forget for a long time.

If Liu Min knew Xu Jianxing's thoughts, she might have pounced on him and fought. However, this was impossible. Liu Min glared at him, then left the room without any hesitation, and walked out of the yard, slamming the door behind her.

Watching her leave, Xu Jianxing suddenly felt a sense of relief. Today's events were not only unexpected but also stimulating, but the most unforgettable was that fleeting glimpse.

Xu Jianxing closed the door, then picked up the phone that had fallen in the yard. Seeing it was still intact, he marveled at its quality and returned to the room. He went online to gather information about the tropical rainforest, preparing for the next day.

The next day, Xu Jianxing mainly wanted to collect various plants and fresh herbs that were not commonly found outside in the primeval forest. He could use them for sacrifice and appraisal, and perhaps one day, he would discover some species of high value.
