431: This is your reward.

“Forget it, anyway, these aren't things I can control. Soon enough, it will be Xiao Chen's death day!”

Su Xuan thought.

“Well done! This is your reward!”

Su Xuan patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder with a look of satisfaction, and then he even gave Xiao Chen the corner of Su Qingyuan’s torn clothing as a gift.

“Let this item be a memento for you! After all, that was a top-tier beauty!”

“Heh heh heh! The woman I just brought is even prettier than your wife!”

“Someone like you probably won’t ever have the chance to enjoy something like this in your entire life, right?”

“I, Su Xuan, am not a bad person; I am a benevolent existence. Let this corner of cloth be a keepsake for you!”

Su Xuan laughed heartily.

“I hope you can use it when you are lonely and need it one day. I don’t mind!”

After Su Xuan finished speaking, he laughed heartily and left.

Xiao Chen watched Su Xuan's departing back, not saying a word. He simply threw the piece of cloth into the trash can and then numbly returned to his own business.

In his opinion, the matter was over, and Su Xuan should not bother him again for a while.

As he left, Su Xuan casually released Feng Yao.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for greatly striking down Destined Protagonist Xiao Chen’s Dao Heart. Xiao Chen's Luck value has decreased by 300,000. Reward: Villain Value 3,000,000!]

[Ding! Heavenly Mandate Female Lead Su Qingyuan has developed extreme disappointment towards Destined Protagonist Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's Luck value has decreased by 200,000. Reward: Villain Value 2,000,000!]

[Ding! Su Qingyuan's favorability has reached 20. Xiao Chen's Luck value has decreased by 10,000. Reward: Villain Value 100,000!]

After everything was done, a series of System prompts continuously echoed in Su Xuan’s mind.

“Hahahahaha! So satisfying!”

Su Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

“Why are you laughing? Are you mocking me?”

Su Qingyuan glared at Su Xuan.

Currently, Su Qingyuan was filled with anger. Seeing Su Xuan's playful smile, she felt incredibly indignant, always feeling that Su Xuan was mocking her.

“What I laugh at, what does it have to do with you?”

Su Xuan retorted.

“Speaking of which, don’t forget our agreement back then! When we made that bet, you lost!”

“As a loser, you dare to use such a tone with me, the victor? I think you really don’t know what’s good for you!”

Su Xuan darted forward, directly arriving in front of Su Qingyuan, and backhanded, he grabbed Su Qingyuan's neck.

“You… let go… of me…”

Su Qingyuan's face instantly turned red, and she was almost unable to breathe.

However, seeing Su Qingyuan's painful expression, Su Xuan not only did not give up, but instead intensified his grip.

Only when Su Qingyuan was about to collapse did Su Xuan finally release his hand from Su Qingyuan’s neck.

“Cough, cough, cough… cough, cough, cough…”

Su Qingyuan slumped to the ground, gasping for the hard-won fresh air.

She had just almost experienced one of the most tragic ways to die in this world: suffocation!

But thankfully, that bastard Su Xuan finally let go, otherwise, she felt she was truly finished.

“You bastard… how could you do this to me… I’m still a girl!”

Su Qingyuan felt incredibly wronged. Before, Su Xuan wasn't like this. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he didn't cherish it anymore!

Too much! It was simply too much! Su Qingyuan had lived so many years and had never been treated like this before!

“Heh heh, what about being a girl? Disobedient women should be taught a lesson!”

“From now on, be more restrained in front of me! Don’t forget, you are my woman now!”

“And, you lost the bet. A loser, when seeing a winner appear, should run away with their tail between their legs!”

“Do I still need to teach you such things? If it weren't for the fact that you are my woman, I would have beaten you to death long ago!”

Su Xuan unceremoniously scolded Su Qingyuan.

It was understandable that Su Qingyuan had a bit of a temper, after all, she had just suffered a heartbreak and a major emotional breakdown.

Imagine, if it were you, and the person you loved watched you fall into an abyss, but he didn't reach out to pull you up, what kind of mindset would you have?

Moreover, Xiao Chen was standing right at the door at that time. Let alone pulling her up, he didn't even make a move to speak!

I ask you, if you saw this scene, would you not break down? Would you not have a little temper?

Therefore, Su Xuan expressed understanding for Su Qingyuan’s actions, but that did not mean Su Xuan accepted Su Qingyuan showing it in front of him.

After all, he wasn't Xiao Chen. It was Xiao Chen who made Su Qingyuan have such a temper, not him, so Su Xuan did not allow Su Qingyuan to lose her temper in front of him.

“I… I understand…”

After being scolded by Su Xuan, Su Qingyuan also calmed down a little.

“I can understand you having a little temper, after all, no one would feel good after experiencing something like that!”

“But, the one who caused you to have such emotions isn’t me, so why are you losing your temper in front of me?”

“At a time like this, you should be saying these things to Xiao Chen!”

Seeing that Su Qingyuan was gradually calming down because of his words, Su Xuan's lips also curved into a slight smile.

Currently, Su Qingyuan was in an emotionally fragile state, which was the best opportunity to conquer Su Qingyuan.

“Alright, alright, what I just said was also out of anger. The reason I treated you that way was only because you thought of Xiao Chen!”

“Thinking of Xiao Chen makes me angry! Such a beautiful woman, and he actually didn’t know how to cherish her! Instead, he handed her over to someone else!”

“Tell me, isn’t such a person infuriating? If it were me, I would jump off a building right then and there!”

Su Xuan deeply understood the principle of 'a stick and a carrot'. Under his vivid acting, Su Qingyuan's gaze towards him visibly changed a bit.

Su Xuan's empathy with Su Qingyuan's emotions created some resonance, and her gaze towards Su Xuan was no longer as disgusted as before.

There was no other way, Su Xuan understood women too well. With women, you simply don't need to talk about logic, because she understands all of these things. If you tell her, she will instead feel that you don't understand.

At this time, you don't need to worry about anything; you just need to empathize strongly and support her strongly.

Then, as she talks, she will eventually understand the pros and cons herself.

“Thank you, Su Xuan…”

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Su Qingyuan's somewhat distressed mood also eased.

She suddenly felt that this man named Su Xuan in front of her didn't seem as annoying as she had imagined.

Moreover, because it was her first time with Su Xuan, her feelings for Su Xuan were actually a bit complex.
