To deal with different people, you must use different methods.

Being a beast is easy, what’s terrifying is, ——often acting like a beast can eventually make you a real beast.

Undeniably, people are products of their environment; the environment can change you invisibly.

Whether Fujiwara Reiki is schizophrenic hasn’t been medically confirmed, but it’s certain Shi Qianxi is nowhere near mentally healthy; at least she’s somewhat "pathological."

Thus.

Even knowing her "Achilles’ heel," Jiang Chen has always been cautious with her, fearing that over time, he might be affected too.

Today, he truly had no choice.

The other party was, really excessive.

If the genders were swapped and he became a woman, Shi Qianxi’s actions could lightly be described as getting benefits without gratitude, or harder, as shameless.

Before leaving, Director Shi brushed his teeth again, and when he went out, he had restored his noble and dignified demeanor, showing no trace at all.

Exactly.

Since it’s a matter of offering oneself, how can there not be a price to pay?

Where in the world is there a business with no cost and high returns?

After Shi Qianxi left, Jiang Chen sat alone on the sofa, legs crossed, draped in a large robe, or rather, a bathrobe.

Though it doesn’t physically exhaust him like certain sports, it’s severely draining internally.

Hmm.

It must be admitted.

There’s no escaping it now.

The crackling sound he made tearing the other’s clothes on that distant night finally echoed today.

If fate’s gears can’t be stopped, then one must go along with them.

After all.

Shi Qianxi is probably the only person he doesn’t need to explain to Li Shuru.

After all, Shi Qianxi herself said that the "sisters" have already reached a deal.

If he genuinely had both in his arms, wouldn’t that be a real blessing?

Indeed.

He inevitably got influenced.

Being a beast can easily become a habit if one is not careful.

He cut off the flow of thoughts.

After some appropriate rest, Jiang Chen sat up straight, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and dialed Fujiwara Reiki’s number.

If the other party hadn’t interrupted, he believed there would still be room to maneuver in his game with Shi Qianxi.

"Did Jiang Sang just wake up? Seems like you had a good sleep last night."

"Why did you do it."

Straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

"Don’t worry, Jiang Sang, there are no toxic side effects, just ensuring Jiang Sang gets a good sleep."

Daring and straightforward, confessing without denying.

However, it was confessed a bit late, the check-up was already done.

Being drawn blood for no reason, anyone would be upset, and the needle prick does hurt a bit.

"Do I need to thank you?"

"What are you talking about, Jiang Sang."

Fujiwara Reiki teased, her voice tingling to the bone.

"Give me a reason."

Jiang Chen’s tone grew heavy, deeper.

"Is Jiang Sang blaming Li Ji? Then what’s the reason for blaming Li Ji?"

Surprisingly asking back.

Confused, you’d think she was wronged.

"This isn’t the first time you’ve drugged me."

"Pfft."

In a very serious atmosphere, Fujiwara Reiki still let slip a seductive laugh after listening.

"Is Jiang Sang really so vengeful?"

It’s not about holding grudges.

The first time she gave him a love drug, the second time a sedative, what about the third time?

Drugging isn’t a good habit either.

"Is it that ninja by your side? She’s been with you for years, knows too many of your secrets, isn’t it time to replace her."

After a moment of silence, Fujiwara Reiki quickly grasped it.

"Jiang Sang can’t be that heartless, Sakura is loyal to Li Ji. It’s all Li Ji’s idea, nothing to do with Sakura. If Jiang Sang wants to penalize, aim at Li Ji."

"Do you think I don’t dare?"

Comrade Jiang Chen, truly cold, a heart of stone, treating such a beauty with no leniency.

A heartbreaking laughter came from the phone, "Of course Jiang Sang dares, Li Ji has always known, in Jiang Sang’s heart, Li Ji is just a tool, dispensable."

"Aren’t you the same? I’m just one step for you to climb higher. Now it’s because you still need me. When you break free someday, fully control your fate, who knows what you’ve prepared for me might be the real poison."

Sincerely conversed.

"Is that what Jiang Sang thinks?"

After a longer silence, Fujiwara Reiki’s faint voice came through the phone.

"Isn’t it."

Jiang Chen remained cold, or rather, maintained absolute rationality.

"Heh. Li Ji admits, at the beginning, it was like that. Jiang Sang needed Li Ji, Li Ji needed Jiang Sang. But Li Ji underestimated human inner feelings. Li Ji once firmly believed she would never love any man, finding them all vile, ugly, dirty, and nauseating, but until Li Ji met Jiang Sang, she smelled a fresh scent."

"Only Jiang Sang’s gaze at Li Ji is clear and pure, without impurities."

No matter how persuasive she was, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

He believed.

This demoness felt differently about him than other men, after all, people aren’t trees, but that didn’t mean she could achieve the realm she painted.

As said before.

There’s currently no conflict of interest.

Once there is, or if they stand opposed, will she be lenient because of her "feelings" for him?

That’s sheer fantasy.

The Black Widow is always the Black Widow.

She’ll consume her partner when necessary.

Nonetheless.

For now, they are still vested interests, truth can be spoken, but words mustn’t be too harsh.

"I’m asking why you drugged me again."

How come it still sounds quite amusing?

"Last night, Li Ji already replied, just didn’t want Jiang Sang sleeping with another woman."

Jiang Chen still couldn’t understand.

"Are you sick? Why not directly poison me, so I can never be a man again."

Though crude, it’s reasonable.

At most making him dizzy for one night, what does it achieve?

Solves the symptom, not the problem.

"Giggling..."

Instead of being upset, Fujiwara Reiki laughed, her innate temptress aura could sway hearts even over radio waves.

"If Jiang Sang can’t be a man, wouldn’t Li Ji suffer too."

"You have Wataru Tetsuya."

"No."

"Jiang Sang still doesn’t want to trust Li Ji? Li Ji belongs only to Jiang Sang, heart and body. No one can touch Li Ji. If Wataru Tetsuya doesn’t behave, Li Ji will make sure he also can’t be a man. Giggling..."

What defines a demoness.

Jiang Chen couldn’t tell if she was "smooth-talking" or being sincere.

"Remember, don’t do it again."

Jiang Chen said sternly.

Hmm.

Very intimidating.

"Don’t forget, Jiang Sang, the next meeting in three days. Li Ji will be waiting for you."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone.
