I insist

Chapter 48: Pretending to be asleep

For some reason, Yu Huailin didn't go anywhere after returning to the cave. Instead, as if he had sensed something, he sat down directly next to Song Miqiu.

But he didn't speak or move, just silently sizing her up, which almost made Song Miqiu, who was only pretending to be asleep, lose her temper and curse.

"What exactly is this man trying to do! Could it be that he discovered something related to me while he was out? Or has their plan changed, and now they're finally going to wipe out my whole family?"

It's no wonder Song Miqiu was suspicious; Yu Huailin's current behavior was truly frightening!

No normal person would stay up all night and sit next to someone watching them sleep.

Yu Huailin didn't know what Song Miqiu was thinking, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

However, just as Song Miqiu was wondering what was wrong with this man, Yu Huailin suddenly moved closer to her!

Although they were pretending to be asleep, the surrounding environment was so quiet that it amplified their senses.

Song Miqiu noticed the man's actions immediately!

Even though you can't see anything, the feeling makes you even more nervous.

"What exactly is he trying to do?!"

If you're going to kill or torture someone, why not just give them a quick death instead of torturing them like this?

Are all these ruthless killers really this perverted?

No wonder I used to see people say that the criminal penalties imposed on those people were hard to accept. Who could bear such psychological pressure?

Song Miqiu even felt that if he continued to torment himself like this, he probably wouldn't be able to continue pretending to be asleep.

Yu Huailin didn't know what the woman was thinking, but he could clearly feel that she tensed up when he got close.

Finally, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Actually, I've wanted to tell you this for a while now: your technique for pretending to be asleep is really bad. Because you simply don't know how to regulate your breathing."

The smile in Yu Huailin's words was clear, and Song Miqiu immediately felt a jolt in her heart.

Isn't that obvious? He probably already knew I was pretending to be asleep, but he just didn't expose me that time.

But why did this man suddenly speak this time?

But since they've already been exposed, there's no need to keep pretending anymore.

Song Miqiu slowly opened her eyes, and those eyes were very clear, without any of the drowsiness of someone who had just woken up.

"Since you discovered it so early on, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Why torture people like this?"

Does this man really not realize how terrible his actions were?

Song Miqiu couldn't help but silently complain in her heart, but she dared not say these words to his face, because no one could guarantee that this man would not become angry and humiliated and slit her throat.

She hadn't yet mastered the power within her body, but even if she did, she probably still wouldn't be a match for this man.

Song Miqiu has always been a very self-aware person, so naturally he would not do anything that would lead to his death.

Yu Huailin didn't pay attention to her tone. He had already seen through this woman's audacity and her ulterior motives.

"I just wanted to play along because you were putting on such a good act. If you don't like it, I won't do it again next time."

If it were someone else or in a different setting, Song Miqiu might actually be moved, after all, it's rare to find a man who understands and tolerates her like that.

But it had to be this person!

It's Yu Huailin, whose true nature is unclear—whether he's good or evil.

She really has a hard time feeling ripples.

On the contrary, she felt like she had goosebumps all over her body.

"No need. There's no need to be too smart. Sometimes it's better to be a little confused."

It's unclear whether this statement was an attempt to exonerate himself or a reminder to Yu Huailin.

But both of them were clever, and neither of them made it clear.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward; Song Miqiu really disliked being alone with him.

"Since you already know I was pretending to be asleep, you should also know that I noticed you went out, right? What exactly are you trying to do? Will what you're about to do hurt my family?"

This last sentence was what Song Miqiu truly wanted to know.

She didn't care what the man's purpose was, nor did she care that what they were about to do was earth-shattering.

All she cared about were the two little ones and her own life.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, that didn't diminish Song Miqiu's affection for the two little ones.

Yu Huailin hadn't expected this woman to be so direct. Could it be that she wasn't afraid of him anymore?

But who says you have to answer someone's question?

"Speaking of which, when exactly do you plan to come to Lincheng with me?"

"Have I ever told you that your ability to change the subject is really terrible?"

Song Miqiu really couldn't hold back anymore. Why could this man always act so matter-of-factly?

Moreover, this wasn't the first time he'd brought up this issue; Song Miqiu had never seen this man so persistent about anything.

Thinking of this, the expression on her face suddenly paused.

"You've mentioned wanting to go to Lincheng with me several times, so may I ask if that's your purpose? But why do you insist on taking me with you?"

Although they can be considered to have a cooperative relationship now, they probably don't trust each other to that extent yet.

Both of them were well aware of this, but they had never opened their hearts to each other.

Since everyone has secrets, it's best to keep to ourselves and avoid interfering with each other, except when cooperating.

This man is so intelligent, so why does he keep trying to drag himself into their mess?

Song Miqiu really didn't understand. She knew in her heart that she probably didn't have that many choices. The only reason this man was still willing to ask a few questions was because he still had patience.

But if he really wanted to do something, he had no power to resist at all!

In that case, we should figure out their purpose as soon as possible so that we can make plans for ourselves in advance.

Call it being overly cautious, or say she doesn't trust this man, but in Song Miqiu's heart, her own survival is far more important than cooperating with him!

It is precisely because she can distinguish these things that she often loses her composure when facing this man.

The disparity in strength between them is so great that it cannot be compensated for by mere cleverness.

The only thing Song Miqiu could do was to prepare a way out for himself as soon as possible.
