163. It’s Time to Reconcile
“Feelings… none for now?”
A hint of a smile flickered in Wen Han’s eyes, her lips curving up.
“Uncle, you really are a virgin? At twenty-seven… how pitiful!”
But as she thought about it, she had spent thirty years…
Wen Han’s expression suddenly stiffened as she covered the document.
“But I didn’t expect the target this time to be Su Zeheng.”
She never anticipated that one day the target would be the Light Magic Society itself.
However, this was not a difficult task for Wen Han.
With all the groundwork laid out before, the uncle had already fallen for me~
Making him feel disordered and stirring chaos within the Light Magic Society should not be hard for me.
“But this uncle is so stubborn; it probably won’t be simple.”
It’s easy to make Su Zeheng fall in love with her, but getting him to be “crazy” about her would require some means.
As for “unwilling”? Those three words didn’t exist in Wen Han’s dictionary.
Why be reluctant? Would I still like him?
That was impossible, so Wen Han didn’t care.
To her, Su Zeheng was just one of many targets, all of whom she toyed with and reaped.
“Maybe it’s time for us to reconcile.”
With black flames dancing in her eyes, Wen Han tossed the document aside, suddenly captivated by the chaos laid out before her.
“Oh?” The black fire in her gaze extinguished as she looked up, “Xiao Lin, what did the boss say to you?”
Lin Wu Ju emerged from the chaos in silence.
Thinking back to how An Lisi had asked him to smile more, though confused, he managed a few twitches of his lips.
“…Hehe!”
This forced, lifeless smile from him instantly made Wen Han frown in disdain.
“You…” she pointed at his head, “Did you hit it?”
“…I was smiling.”
“Smiling?” Wen Han instantly understood, “Right! You should smile more; people need to live happily.”
Lin Wu Ju, still maintaining his stiff smile, looked him up and down, “How’s the information on Su Zeheng coming along?”
“I know him well enough, so it’s unnecessary.”
Wen Han casually burned the document and crossed her arms.
“This task is even more crucial than the ones before. If we can crush the Light Magic Society while they can do nothing against us… do you know what that means?”
“…I know.”
“I hope you won’t go soft-hearted.”
“?” Wen Han furrowed her brow, “Do you think I would show mercy to Su Zeheng?”
“Perhaps.” Lin Wu Ju sat in the armchair, “This is a task handed down by His Highness himself; don’t let us down.”
“Hmph.” Wen Han sneered, “Do you all not trust me that much?”
“I believe in you, but I still have to remind you kindly.” Lin Wu Ju raised his hand to the sky, “After all, someone… is watching us.”
“…Unnecessary.”
Wen Han shook her head dismissively and turned to leave.
“Wait for my good news; Su Zeheng will surely become my submissive.”
Her departing words echoed through the Recycling Station.
Lin Wu Ju looked around, and the frozen smile on his face finally began to fade.
“My heart…” He curiously touched his chest, “Has it returned?”
……
Light Magic Society.
Stepping into the office with a hint of melancholy and loss, Su Zeheng immediately noticed several pairs of eyes on him.
He paused, “What’s wrong?”
“Old Su, we need to talk to you about something.”
“Uh?” Faced with his suddenly serious colleagues, Su Zeheng slowly sat down, “You want to talk about Wen Han?”
“Yes.” Fat Brother said, “I just want to remind you that Wen Han is ultimately from the Recycling Station.”
“I know…” Su Zeheng lowered his head, “I’ve always wanted to take her out of the darkness.”
“But some people willingly stay in the dark.” Old Chen shook his head, “Old Su, we do need to fight for her, but we mustn’t let ourselves fall as well.”
“I won’t.” Su Zeheng lifted his head, his gaze resolute, “I know what I should do.”
“We believe in you.” Old Bai smiled slightly, “But… I only ask, why do you think Wen Han can still be saved?”
“She’s not what you think; she has another side.” After briefly observing everyone, Su Zeheng took a deep breath, “I believe she accidentally stepped onto the wrong path; she will eventually return to the right track.”
“Are you that sure?”
“…Sure.” After a second of silence, Su Zeheng nodded, “I believe she is a good girl, different from those who have made deals with demons like Lin Wu Ju and have completely fallen into darkness.”
“Well then.” The three looked at each other and finally showed relaxed expressions, “Since you say so, we trust you.”
“Thank you, I won’t disappoint you.” Su Zeheng stood up as well, “I admit I have feelings for Wen Han, but before she leaves the darkness… I won’t let this affect my work.”
He blinked, momentarily gazing at the clothes hanging on the rack.
Inside the inner pocket of that coat lay a stack of temporary tattoos, quietly sleeping in the darkness.
“I… won’t let her continue to fall until she hits rock bottom.”
……
On his way home, Su Zeheng still felt a bit dazed.
Perhaps because he hadn’t returned for a few days, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity upon seeing the familiar room, which led him to think of Wen Han and Little Yuan.
“We’ve already broken up, and it wasn’t even real.”
He scratched his hair and chuckled to himself.
“Su Zeheng, you need to return to peace.”
……
Ding! Ding! Ding!
He had barely just laid down when the next moment, the sky was already bright.
Awoken by the notifications from his phone, Su Zeheng groggily opened his eyes and unlocked the screen with ease.
“Wen Han?”
He was startled awake as he looked at the name sending the messages, sitting up to read the series of texts.
[Uncle, are you there? My stomach hurts a bit.]
[Uncle?]
[Just pretend you didn’t see it; I’m fine.]
“Mm?”
As he looked at the messages, Su Zeheng’s brows furrowed gradually.
“Is she feeling unwell?” He hesitated, suddenly realizing something, “Oh right! I think her period is about to…”
Whoosh——!
The blanket was suddenly thrown aside, and Su Zeheng immediately jumped out of bed.
……
“Uncle, aren’t you coming to take care of me?”
At home.
Wen Han lay on the bed, laughing while clutching her stomach.
However…
“Ouch…”
The pain was certainly real!
Although she had been a woman for six years, Wen Han still found herself tormented by her period every month.
She had tried visiting doctors and had taken traditional medicine for regulation, but nothing seemed to work significantly.
And she wondered if it was due to the soul swap causing some sort of issue, but in recent days her stomach felt much worse than before.
But this was better; she didn’t have to act; she could just mix some falsehood into reality to achieve great effects.
One could say that when Wen Han was ruthless, she could use even herself!
She was willing to go to any lengths to achieve her goals!
“Let me sleep for a while.”
When on her period, her body always felt sore, and she was incredibly fatigued.
Wen Han drowsily drifted off to sleep.
After a while, the doorbell rang for what felt like the umpteenth time before she finally slowly opened her eyes.
“Uhm? Who came first?”
