chapter 4 But, she likes

"Are you... going to be bothered by having too much money?" Olivia Xia asked.

Xavier Si lazily smiled, playing with the glass in his hand. His devilish face shone alluringly in the lamplight, almost bewitching Olivia.

She was almost thrown off balance by his demeanor.

She shook her head, trying to stay composed, and stood up, looking at him seriously.

"I don't know how many people you've wronged before me, but now that we're married, I hope you can turn over a new leaf and live an honest life. It's okay to be a bit less well-off as long as you work hard, make progress, and strive continually. One day, life will get better."

"I don't expect you to make me rich, but at the very least, your character should not have such a significant flaw. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Furthermore, as per our agreement, if you ever do morally wrong things for money again, we will immediately divorce."

Xavier Si looked at Olivia with a bewildered expression. He had no idea what morally wrong things he had done again.

Fortunately, Olivia didn't keep him in the dark for too long and continued, "Tell me, how much money did you take from them last night?"

"What money?" Xavier Si couldn't continue to pretend...

This was no longer a misunderstanding; it was an accusation, a defamation, an insult to his character.

"You helped them tarnish my reputation, how much did they pay you?" Olivia asked bluntly.

Xavier Si's eyes showed a hint of understanding. So, she had been set up last night?

No wonder she had eagerly approached him as soon as they entered the room...

Xavier Si's expression softened a bit. "I didn't take any money; it was truly an accident last night."

"No money? Then how did you end up in that room?" Olivia furrowed her brow, clearly not believing his words.

She was even thinking about how to divorce this man as quickly as possible if he turned out to be an incorrigible villain with such a flawed character.

Xavier Si sighed and beckoned her to come closer.

Olivia, acting on a whim, approached him, and he opened a small video on his phone – the hotel room surveillance footage she couldn't access.

Olivia gave him a strange look, wondering why her attempt to access the hotel's system hadn't yielded this footage. It turned out that the hotel staff had cleared it in advance.

That explained a lot.

After watching the surveillance footage, Olivia was dumbfounded.

She had walked into the wrong room last night?!!! Unbelievable!

The room number given to her by Steven Lu was 33, but she entered room 35!

Before, Olivia had only suspected that she was drugged because she felt unwell and couldn't figure out where she had been drugged.

But after watching the surveillance footage, Olivia was certain that she had indeed been drugged.

Otherwise, how could she have ended up gasping for breath in the hotel room and... tearing her own clothes?

The hotel was fine; she hadn't been wrong. The problem must have been with the car Steven Lu had sent to pick her up...

Olivia's face turned bright red, and she picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of water. "You're a waiter, why do you stay in a hotel?"

"Luxury!"...

Olivia returned to her seat and noticed Xavier Si looking at her strangely. It was then that she realized that she had used the glass he had been drinking from...

"Cough, cough, cough..." Olivia coughed intensely due to embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

Fortunately, the restaurant staff quickly brought their meal to the table.


Olivia Xia started to savor the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall placed in front of her.

"I don't live in hotels, but who knows, you might marry someone else today..." Xavier Si said in a leisurely manner, his eyes filled with amusement. "Isn't this fate?"

Olivia: ...

She was left speechless.

Raising her head, Olivia looked at Xavier Si with an odd expression and was completely captivated by his elegant and graceful demeanor.

"Xavier Si, are you perhaps a member of the prestigious Si family in Jianglin?"

"Why do you think so?" Xavier Si chuckled lightly, looking at Olivia with a smile.

"So, did you learn this elegant manner from the wealthy tycoons at the hotel?" After all, it was their first meal together, so a little bit of restraint wasn't surprising.

Olivia consoled him in a straightforward manner, "Relax and enjoy your meal; you don't need to be nervous. After all, we're going to be family."

On Xavier Si's chiseled and handsome face, there was a trace of helplessness and a hint of indulgence towards a simpleton.

He seemed not to have denied that he was a member of the Si family in Jianglin.

Could it be that he married a simpleton?

The person who was mistaken for a simpleton was currently indulging in the delicious food, completely oblivious to the worry on the handsome man's face across from her.

After eating their fill, Olivia descended from upstairs, and to her surprise, she encountered Steven Lu and Emma Xia at the entrance.

"Olivia," Emma Xia greeted her, linking arms with Steven Lu and handing Olivia an invitation. "Steven and I have set a date for our engagement, it's in ten days. You must come to give us your blessings then."

With a shy smile, Emma continued, "I shared this joy with you immediately..."

Olivia glanced at the invitation in Emma's hand, then lazily smiled, "Since we're family, there's no need to waste an invitation. After all..."

Olivia looked at Steven Lu and said, "Back then, Young Master Lu promised to give me a dowry of ten million. But now, the Lu family is facing financial difficulties, so let's save where we can."

"What? Ten million?" Emma's face turned pale, and she turned to Steven Lu, her eyes filled with excitement. "Steven, did you promise her ten million?"

"Yingying, don't listen to her nonsense..." Steven Lu's face had turned extremely ugly. He glared at Olivia, patted Emma's shoulder to console her, and said, "She clearly lied to me about this while I was drunk. Olivia, a used and worn-out shoe like you worth ten million? Don't make me laugh."

As Steven Lu finished speaking, he suddenly felt an icy, sharp aura enveloping him.

And then, with a loud "smack," something struck him hard on the mouth...

"Ah!" Steven Lu felt a sharp pain on his mouth, and he took two steps back, instinctively covering his mouth.

"Steven, what's wrong?" Emma Xia was startled and rushed to his side, her face full of concern.

Steven Lu coughed twice and, in pain, spat out two teeth and a pool of blood.

Not far from where he stood, on the ground, a crumpled tissue was playfully rolling and leaping around...

"Who...?" Steven Lu's lips were already swollen, and his face had turned a bluish shade. His voice trembled with fear.

Olivia stared in astonishment at the man beside her. She was fully aware of his fearsome explosive power and had yet to fully recover.

How did this man do it?

What kind of force was required to turn a crumpled tissue into a deadly weapon?

"Sorry..." Xavier Si's devilish face displayed a wicked grin, and there wasn't a trace of remorse. "I thought only trash bins smelled like this, and I accidentally threw it in the wrong place."

Steven Lu and Emma Xia: ???

Olivia couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This man not only had a ruthless hand, but he also had a venomous tongue.

But...

She liked it.
