We're even.

"What?"

Lu Han doubted he had heard correctly. Su Qingli said she liked him?

What was going on?

"I said, I like you."

Su Qingli repeated softly, confirming her statement.

Lu Han remained silent for a moment before asking, "Why?"

"I wish I knew why..."

Su Qingli sighed, "But at some point, when you touched my legs, I not only didn't get angry but felt happy inside."

"Didn't you notice that every time I see you, I deliberately don't wear long pants, just so you can touch me more easily?"

"And besides, I'm not some casual woman who lets anyone hug and kiss her."

"Many times, I even took the initiative to approach you. Isn't it because I like you?"

Su Qingli suddenly felt she should thank Shen Luoyan. If it weren't for her appearance, she might not have realized this herself.

Lu Han took a deep breath and said, "Su Qingli, there's something I need to tell you..."

"Are you going to say that you've already slept with Shen Luoyan?"

Su Qingli interrupted, blinking her eyes, "I know, she told me yesterday and even showed me the love bites you left on her body."

"And that 'Han' character, I saw it too."

"She tattooed your name on her body; she really loves you deeply."

Though they were rivals in love, Su Qingli couldn't help but admire Shen Luoyan's boldness.

"I'm jealous, but I can't hate a woman who dares to love and hate so openly."

Lu Han recalled how Shen Luoyan followed Su Qingli into the changing room yesterday. It turned out to be a showdown where both women laid their cards on the table.

"So, why are you still...?"

He hesitated, wondering why Su Qingli would confess to him after knowing everything.

"Hmph, I was very angry at first, but subconsciously, the thought that came to mind wasn't to give up on you."

Su Qingli bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes as she bravely looked into Lu Han's eyes, "And after careful consideration, I realized this isn't entirely your fault."

"It was my mistake to turn our marriage into a transaction and allow you to find women outside. If I hadn't done that, maybe none of this would have happened."

"So, I decided not to mind anymore."

She then couldn't help but punch his chest lightly, pouting, "Big meanie, you secretly stole my heart. Are you satisfied now?"

Lu Han was at a loss for words. He hadn't done much, yet this woman had fallen for him.

He lifted her chin gently and asked, "Does this mean we're canceling the contract and making it real?"

"No."

Su Qingli shook her head, "I don't want you to think I'm with you for any other reason than genuine feelings, so the contract remains valid."

"The prenup stipulates you can't force me, but I'm doing this willingly."

"That way, you won't be breaking the agreement."

Nothing could better express sincerity than action. After speaking, she gazed at Lu Han affectionately and kissed him.

Their lips intertwined, and Su Qingli felt an overwhelming desire. She rubbed against his chest with her buttocks.

This was pure seduction.

Perhaps because they had opened up to each other, she felt this kiss was more comfortable than any before.

A sweet feeling rose in her heart. When she noticed Lu Han trying to untie her swimsuit straps, instead of refusing, she arched her back slightly.

As the moon-white fabric floated on the water, they finally embraced without barriers.

But neither Lu Han nor Su Qingli felt satisfied yet.

After another passionate kiss, Lu Han suddenly stood up, carrying her out. Su Qingli realized what was about to happen, feeling both shy and strangely excited.

Outside, Lu Han saw the curtains were drawn and the lights dimmed.

"You planned this all along?"

He teased, looking at the woman in his arms.

"Don't laugh at me."

Su Qingli buried her face in his chest, like an ostrich trying to hide.

So cute.

It was the first time Lu Han had seen Su Qingli like this, making him want to tease her even more.

Laying her on the soft bed, he removed the last piece of fabric covering her.

"Su Qingli, let me be clear: I'm a scumbag right now."

Lu Han licked her delicate earlobe, saying in a low voice, "If you regret it now, it's not too late."

This was a final warning, giving her one last chance.

Su Qingli smiled, leaning close to his ear, whispering, "Then please… take me."

She had already regretted once and didn't want to regret again.

With Su Qingli determined, Lu Han no longer hesitated and gently pressed down...

---

Half an hour later, Su Qingli lay lazily in Lu Han's arms, completely drained, not wanting to move a finger.

The experience had been incredibly pleasurable. If her body allowed, she would have wanted to do it again.

But it didn't matter; they could continue tomorrow after resting.

"Lu Han, I've given you everything."

Su Qingli murmured with her eyes closed, "So you have to take responsibility for me, or I'll die in front of you."

Lu Han responded with a simple "Hmm," but his gaze was distant. He hadn't expected to end up becoming the kind of person he despised most.

"Husband?"

Su Qingli suddenly called out.

Deep down, she was quite traditional, especially influenced by her mother Xie Qingwan, believing in fidelity. Since she had given everything to Lu Han, he was now her husband.

"Huh?"

Lu Han was caught off guard by her directness.

"Husband~"

Su Qingli called again, her voice soft and sweet.

Lu Han didn't respond, just stroking her long hair.

Not getting the response she wanted, Su Qingli felt a bit disappointed.

But then she thought, if Lu Han acted like a typical scoundrel, calling her wife without sincerity, would she really be happy?

This meant she was important to him, so he didn't want to deceive her.

Su Qingli found a perfect excuse for Lu Han and picked up her phone.

Opening Shen Luoyan's chat, she sent a message.

[Shen Luoyan, we're even.]

Within seconds, there was a reply.

[Congratulations.]
