Chapter Fifty-Three: Perfume Is Toxic

  Xu Caiyue was clearly targeting him, and if it weren't for her beauty that made his heart skip a beat, Zeng Qiudao would have splashed water on her face and slapped her long ago. He didn't think of himself as a feminist who wouldn't hit women.

  Xu Caiyue raised her hand, the cup in it slightly lifted, her eyes cold and piercing through the ice water as she stared at the figure opposite her: "If you dare to lay a hand on my man, be prepared to face my revenge."

  "Hey! When did you become my woman? Did something go wrong somewhere?"

  Xu Xuan is watching! What if she... uh... seems to have misunderstood, nothing will happen. Because he and Xu Xuan are just a pure male-female relationship.

  What on earth is this little girl thinking?! Suddenly she's looking for trouble for herself, is she getting too full of herself?!

  "Hmm! I was indeed mistaken." Xu Caiyue turned back to Zhou Yun with a gentle smile: "Although you are my man, but I am not your woman."

  "What a load of nonsense!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but retort, "Isn't society supposed to promote gender equality? Where's the equality now? My status as a man has gone down the drain! You devil!"

  I deeply feel the same way, Xu Jian and Mu Feng couldn't help but nod frequently. Family members all treat Little Sister (Big Sister) as a treasure, they almost have no status. Even when there's nothing going on, they still have to be Little Sister's (Big Sister's) followers and bodyguards, and if things go wrong, they might even have to take the blame. They were born from the same parents, why is the difference so big?

  In the words of two old men. Take advantage of it while you still have it, and cherish it, don't wait until it's lost to regret it. A daughter will eventually get married and leave home, if you don't spoil her now, there won't be a chance later on~. But sons are different, if they're not taken care of properly now, how can they support their families when they grow up?

  Let's look at it from a different perspective... Spoiling daughters and sending them out to cause trouble, while teaching sons to be clever and keeping them at home as pillars. Ginger is indeed still spicy after all these years... with great prospects!

  Xu Caiyue seemed to like it when people praised her devilish ways: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment..."

  "It was all for this kid," Zeng Qiu said with disdain, glancing at Zhou Yun: "A beautiful woman like you would actually stand up for someone like him, it's really inexplicable."

  Zeng Qiudao finally understood the reason for Xu Caiyue's difficulty, and at the same time felt puzzled. Zhou Yun was just an ordinary guy, and he couldn't even dodge a casual punch from himself. If someone hadn't blocked most of the force for him, it wouldn't have been just a nosebleed earlier...

  "Are you jealous?" Xǔ Cǎi Yuè coldly laughed and said: "Now I'll give you two choices, three roads. To live or to die, choose yourself!"

  "You also want to torture me to death? Don't joke!" If Xu Jian said this, Zeng Qiudao might have been worried.

  As for Xu Caiyue, let's just forget about her. Looking at her slender fingers and delicate skin, she's clearly not a combat-type ability user. Comparing herself to him is just asking for trouble? If they were to switch to a secluded place, the two of them might be able to have some real fun...

  "It's not that I'm going to kill you, it's just that... " Xǔ Cǎi Yuè said in a low voice: "I don't know if Mr. Qiū Dào has smelled the fragrance of flowers at dinner time? Has he felt slightly dizzy and nauseous? If not now, don't worry, I believe soon will..."

  "What did you mean by that?" Zeng Qiu said, and in the YY channel, a sudden spark of inspiration made him feel uneasy.

  Dizziness and blurred vision did not occur, but the fragrance of flowers floating in the air was unmistakable. He could confirm that the faint scent of flowers was not the original disinfectant smell in the room, because when he first entered the house, this fragrance did not exist.

  "Perfume is poisonous, haven't you heard?" Xǔ Cǎi Yuè said lightly: "I told you to give you two choices and three roads. If you want to die, there's only one road, wait for death... If you want to live, either apologize to my man or beg me for mercy..."

  "You actually poisoned me!!" Zeng Qiudao said in a terrified tone. His eyes stared at the smiling, calm and composed Xu Caiyue in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. What a ruthless woman...

  Zhou Yun hastily pulled Le, who was among the poisoned, including Xu Caiyue: "According to you, aren't we also poisoned? You've gone too far... First give us the antidote, dead people are troublesome."

  "Xiao Yun, don't worry, haven't you all eaten vegetables?" Xu Caiyue said happily.

  Upon hearing this, Zeng Qiudao immediately felt relieved. Isn't that equivalent to indirectly telling him the antidote is in the dishes? Without saying another word, Zeng Qiudao grabbed the delicious food from Mu Feng's table and stuffed it into his mouth. Who knows how long the poison will last and what side effects it will have.

  Zeng Qiudao's actions were extremely embarrassing, even more frantic than a beggar grabbing food. Everyone was stunned by the sight. Detoxification doesn't have to be done to death, at least chew it twice before swallowing. Xu Xuan even suspected that Zeng Qiudao might not have gone crazy from hunger because he hadn't eaten anything...

  "What a poor child..." Xu Caiyue hugged her arms, saying indifferently: "Xiao Yun, smell the perfume I'm using, does it smell good?" As she spoke, she took out the perfume and sprayed some on Zhou Yun, the scent was exactly the same as the floral fragrance that filled the air...

  "Nina Ricci, when did you start using perfume?" Xǔ Xuān said in surprise.

  Everyone suddenly understood that the fragrance in the air was not some kind of poison, but rather Xu Caiyue's signature perfume.

  "You're fooling me!" Zeng Qiu wiped away the greasy mouth with one hand and pointed at Xu Caiyue, shouting.

  "Some people are dead and yet they're still alive. Some people are alive but they're already dead. Do you understand what I mean?" asked Xu Caiyue evasively.

  "What... what does it mean?" Zhou Yun asked stupidly.

  Who made him sleep in language class? However, Zeng Qiudao is not much better. Looking at his confused expression, it's clear that he doesn't understand. He has heard this sentence before and understands its original meaning, but the implication of what Xu Caimei said...

  "Hmm, encountered a problem? Don't be afraid, Xiaoxuan Encyclopedia will tell you!" Xu Xuan said excitedly, as if advertising: "Actually, Little Moon's cousin is saying that people are brainless and living like pigs. Stupid to death..."

  Two sisters sang in harmony, almost making Zeng Qiudao so angry that he ascended to heaven. If they hadn't met halfway, he would have suspected that these people had rehearsed beforehand to pick a fight with him.

  "I just wanted to try some perfume and asked if you've heard of 'perfume is poisonous'? Some people are overthinking, what's that called? (Being overly sensitive)"

  Indeed, Xu Caiyue never mentioned poisoning from start to finish. She only hinted at a few sentences and let Zeng Qiudao fall into the trap. This psychological tactic, even after a hundred years, he still won't be a match for Xu Caiyue.

  "You... you all wait for me!" Zeng Qiu said fiercely, turning around and leaving the dining room. He really couldn't bear to stay any longer, being played around by a woman like this, this meal was eaten with great embarrassment.

  The only thing that made Zeng Qiudao incomprehensible was why Mu Feng had invited him to join the "Grassland" with great enthusiasm at first, but now he was watching him being humiliated. He originally wanted to play with Miss Mu's family, but as a result of the Xus' sudden appearance, all plans were ruined. All the troubles were caused by that woman and that stinky brat...

  What's with the Fourth Miss of the Xu family? She indeed looks pretty, even more so than the eldest and second miss of the Mu family. Unfortunately, she has a bad heart, it's best if she doesn't fall into my hands, otherwise I'll make her wish she were dead...

  Miao Xiaoya bit her chopsticks and winked at Miao Feng. The silent information began to spread again...

  "Xiao Feng, he's been driven away by anger, what are you going to do? Chase after him or continue eating..."

  "How was I supposed to know..." Mu Feng helplessly curled his lips. Zeng Qiudao was someone he had finally managed to invite back, and he had even sold a few of Mu Xiaoya's private photos to make it happen.

  "Why didn't you stop him just now?" Mu Xiaoya frowned and hinted: "It's really a pity, letting the Xu family lose a talented person for nothing. No wonder the Mu family has been falling behind the Xu family in recent years!"
