The Girl in the Iron Cage: Lazy Little Beast Fei

Chapter 3

So the two people naturally cohabited.

Until now.

She knows who he is! Let her feel ashamed!

Did he know her identity early on, so he deliberately approached her, lurking around her? She was taken advantage of by him?!

As a qualified agent, secrecy is the most basic common sense, and even your closest people can’t know. When did she reveal the horse’s feet* and reveal her identity?

She clenched the small cold pistol down into her lower pocket and took a deep breath.

It doesn’t matter, what’s important is that she must kill him today! Give an account to her dead comrades. She walked slowly into the elevator…

“Baby, your back?” As soon as she entered the house, He Xiang Wan gave her a big hug as usual. Holding her waist and walking in.

A familiar embrace, a familiar body fragrance, like he just got out of the shower. She had a moment of being dazed, her finger on the trigger slightly loosened.

“What day is it today? Why did you make so many dishes?” There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, all of which are usually eaten by Luo Qingyu.

“Baby, close your eyes.” He Xiang Wan lowered his head and gently licked her ears, his breath brushing against her ears.

“What are you doing?” Luo Qingyu’s heart is slightly sinking. Today’s He Xiang Wan seems somewhat unusual, a little more overbearing…..

Is he going to do it to her?

“Good, listen, close your eyes.” He Xiang Wan said with a smile.

Luo Qingyu closed her eyes, the hand in her pocket held the trigger again, her hand is sweating……..

Her eyesight was suddenly dim, as if he had turned off the light. Luo Qingyu’s back is stiff, about to subconsciously pull the trigger. The lights lit up again.

“Okay, baby, open your eyes.” His pleasant voice was ringing in her ears.

Luo Qingyu opened her eyes and froze.

There was a row of small red candles on the table, and flickering candlelight faintly reflected off the glasses of red wine.

Candlelight dinner?

Luo Qingyu’s heart slightly trembled, smiling: “What day is it today, your so romantic?”

“Guess?” He Xiang Wan came very close to her. A pair of dark eyes staring at her in the candlelight.

Luo Qingyu simply shook her head: “I can’t guess.” Today is not a holiday at all, nor is it each other’s birthday……

He Xiang Wan’s eyes flashed a touch of loss, sighed: “Fool, today is our 100th anniversary of being together, shouldn’t we celebrate?”

Luo Qingyu smiled dryly, if she didn’t know his identity, she would have been moved by his romantic heart but now - the heart cannot tell what feeling there is.

“Baby, this is for you.” He Xiang Wan from out of nowhere handed over a bunch of flowers to her.

Luo Qingyu’s pupils suddenly shrink, peony! Big red peonies, rich and warm like a fire.

“Why—send this?” Don’t lovers usually send roses? Why did he send her peonies? What is he implying?

Luo Qingyu’s heart sank. She silently glanced at his whole body. Her pupils shrink yet again!

He was dressed in a formal suit today, a fitting suit and tie. A refined and cultured gentleman, his face was hidden in the half-light and half-dark, giving off a relaxed feeling.

Luo Qingyu’s eyes flashed to his left trouser pocket. There seems to be something hidden there, bulging…

There’s a —gun?!

He usually wears home clothes, she first saw him wearing clothing so formal at home! Luo Qingyu looked down at the peony bouquet in her hand. Every aspect of him is strange today! Does he want to do something to her today?
