The most beautiful space

36 Guessing

Xie Mingyuan's cell phone was kept by his father, Xie Chengsheng. Xie Mingxin risked bringing it over for him to use overnight, then secretly returned it the next day. Xie Chengsheng actually knew that Xie Mingyuan had used the phone, but sometimes pushing too hard can backfire and provoke stronger resistance, so he pretended not to know. Although Xie Mingyuan was restricted from leaving and contacting the outside world, he could still meet with his second uncle, Xie Chengjing. He had the veteran guarding him call Xie Chengjing, saying he had something to tell his second uncle and asking Xie Chengjing to come see him when he had time.

Xie Chengjing arrived that very evening. Xie Mingyuan first greeted him as Second Uncle, then told him everything about Su Tong being held captive at the White Queen Castle. He continued, "Xiao Yang's initial reason for seeking Tongtong was probably a misunderstanding that you, Second Uncle, were interested in her. He probably didn't realize that it was actually me who liked Tongtong. But now that he's seen Tongtong, given her looks, he probably won't let go so easily. Second Uncle, I'm very afraid that Tongtong will be hurt by him, but as you can see, my father won't allow me to contact the outside world at all. Can you help me think of a solution?"

Xie Chengjing seemed completely unmoved, as if he wasn't the one who went to Old Master Xiao Weigong's house in the government compound yesterday. He asked in return, "Why should I think of a solution?"

Xie Mingyuan seemed quite open-minded, and smiled gently with a slight upturn of his lips: "I just think that a woman as beautiful as Tongtong, with such a gentle and likable personality, shouldn't want her to be hurt after you saved her once, right, Second Uncle?"

Regardless of the feelings involved, Xie Mingyuan could see that his second uncle was now somewhat soft-hearted and caring towards Su Tong. As long as his second uncle helped get Su Tong away from Xiao Yang, he didn't think that his second uncle's cold personality would attract women.

“You’re absolutely right,” Xie Chengjing said.

However, he was fully aware of what his nephew was thinking, but he didn't believe Xie Mingyuan's idea would come true.

Xiao Yang is a very charming man. He is handsome, intelligent, elegant, and erudite. Especially when such a man shows you love and possessiveness, yet doesn't actually do anything to you, his charm is undeniably powerful. Even Su Tong doesn't feel uncomfortable being with him, except for the current lack of freedom. She thinks that if things continue like this for a few more days, she might actually fall in love with Xiao Yang.

Indeed, in terms of gender and personality traits, women are naturally more easily moved by the gentle care of their suitors, especially since Xiao Yang himself is so outstanding.

Besides the two bodyguards in the small villa where Su Tong was staying, the White Queen Castle also had a security team. Su Tong could move around freely in this huge building, but it was impossible for her to leave without alerting anyone. With Xiao Yang's permission, Su Tong could also go out with the "accompaniment" of the two bodyguards. However, the clothes prepared by Xiao Yang's nanny, Sister Zhang, were all very feminine and exquisite clothes, or even fashion dresses.

This way, Su Tong would attract attention from passersby whenever she went out, and would even be the subject of blatant fantasies, making her feel very uncomfortable. However, Xiao Yang said that this was a manifestation of her charm, and that she should not only not feel uncomfortable, but should also enjoy this feeling. In any case, no matter how much they fantasize, no one would dare to do anything to her.

In addition, it is already summer and the average temperature in C municipality is already very high, so Su Tong has no desire to go out at all. At most, she takes Kong Kong to run around the lawn a couple of times every morning and evening. Since she is currently living under someone else's roof, Su Tong has no mood to go out and play.

Xiao Yang would go to work at the county government after breakfast in the morning, and be picked up by his driver in the afternoon. He would usually bring Su Tong a small gift, sometimes some local snacks, sometimes a simple but exquisite and expensive bouquet. When he had social engagements and came back very late, Su Tong would usually be asleep to avoid him. He would take a shower to get rid of the smell of alcohol, knock on the door, and enter the master bedroom where Su Tong was currently staying. He would leave a goodnight kiss on Su Tong's forehead, and finally use the remote control to close all the curtains around the bed, gently close the door, and leave the room.

Su Tong sent two more photos of herself and Xiao Yang to her parents, but she hadn't gone home with him yet. That was something that Su Tong felt had special significance. Even when she was most in love with Gu Liang'an in college, because they were young and hadn't talked about marriage, Su Tong had taken him to H province for fun, but she hadn't taken him home to meet her parents. She didn't want to think about, or rather, couldn't accept going home with Xiao Yang for the time being.

On the afternoon of the third day at the White Queen's Castle, Xiao Yang returned early. He didn't bring anything for Su Tong, but he did bring Kong Kong a beautiful leather collar with GPS tracking.

Su Tong thought of Gu Liang'an only when she met him at her birthday party, and also when Xiao Yang casually mentioned Gu Liang'an during dinner, "Tongtong, do you know Gu Liang'an? It seems he also graduated from Fudan University before he went abroad for further studies."

This wasn't anything private that couldn't be discussed, so Su Tong, while eating the chicken stew made by Sister Zhang, answered quite frankly: "He was my ex-boyfriend. We broke up before graduating from university."

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "I met him today. He's starting his own business and has the financial support of Mr. Henry, a famous American entrepreneur. He seems to be doing very well. He's also very young and handsome. He's been in C Municipality for business recently, and I don't know who asked him, but he specifically asked me to meet him. He asked me about you." As he said this, he stared at Su Tong's reaction.

Su Tong then asked, "Oh, what did you say?"

A sly glint appeared in Xiao Yang's eyes as he stared at Su Tong and said, "I didn't tell him anything. Besides, I'm jealous—jealous that you liked him. I didn't expect him to still like you now. I think I'm the only one in the world who knows you, likes you, and is with you." As he finished speaking, the slyness vanished, and he spoke each word with seriousness and determination, making Su Tong feel as if he really intended to keep her under house arrest like this forever, even forbidding her from leaving the White Queen's Castle.

Su Tong's heart was churning, but she simply said calmly, "If it were me in college, you wouldn't like me. I wasn't as pretty back then as I am now."

“No, if I had met you back then, I would have liked you even more,” Xiao Yang said with a smile after saying his love words. “But I was just joking. How could I not let you go out? You would be unhappy, and I would feel heartbroken and sad. Besides, I enjoy being with you in public. I would feel like I am the envy of all the men in the world.”

His words were actually a blatant compliment to Su Tong's beauty, and he did so so convincingly that Su Tong had nothing to say.

On the fourth night, Xiao Yang returned very late, close to midnight. However, the longer Su Tong stayed there, the more restless she became. She was not fully asleep when she vaguely felt a little heat approaching her lips. Since becoming more beautiful, Su Tong's self-protection instinct had become much stronger. She acted faster than she thought and subconsciously reached out and slapped the person's face.

The sound from Su Tongbai, who was half-asleep, was not heavy at all, but it still sounded extremely crisp and loud in the quiet night.

Then she became fully awake, picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned on the bedside lamp. In front of her was Xiao Yang's face, which looked like it was about to explode, with a very faint handprint. The handprint was quickly completely invisible, but in fact, Su Tong's own palm was still a little red.

Xiao Yang had no intention of doing anything to Su Tong that night; he just couldn't help but change his goodnight kiss to a light kiss on the lips. Su Tong looked at Xiao Yang's downcast eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yang stared at her for a long time, a flickering fire in his eyes, before pulling Su Tong tightly into his arms. Su Tong's hands trembled, and she turned off the light. In the darkness, Xiao Yang could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Su Tong. It wasn't any perfume; it had a fresh, plant-like scent with an indescribable allure. The body in his arms was soft and boneless, her skin incredibly tender to the touch, yet possessed captivating curves in all the right places. Xiao Yang held Su Tong tightly, almost squeezing her so hard it hurt. His voice was hoarse as he said, "It's alright, I forgive you, but," he chuckled, his voice carrying a masculine boldness and a unique magnetism, "I'll get my revenge next time."

Su Tong was almost terrified. She didn't think Xiao Yang was the type to be so impatient, but his behavior was starting to make her suspicious, especially the heat in his body, which made her feel strange. She had already taken out a bottle of spray from her spatial storage. Hearing Xiao Yang's words, she felt a little relieved, but she still held the spray in her hand. If he really wanted to force her, she should at least get through this first.

When Xiao Yang released Su Tong, Su Tong put the spray back into her spatial storage. She felt like she was suffocating from the tension, but her body was also experiencing a strange excitement. Xiao Yang's strong masculine aura made her feel like something was stirring inside her, as if some kind of worm was writhing inside her. She had felt the same way when Xiao Yang's penis pressed against her last time, but she clearly knew that she didn't have romantic feelings for Xiao Yang. This uncontrollable feeling terrified her.

Thankfully, Xiao Yang let go of her. As he left, he said, "Tongtong, has anyone ever told you that you smell nice?"

Su Tong was startled. Li Tiantian and Deng Yue seemed to have mentioned it before. Fortunately, before Su Tong could answer, he answered his own question, his voice filled with panting and laughter, "Okay, regardless of whether it happened before, from now on it will only be me."

After Xiao Yang left, Su Tong felt the heat she had been suppressing intensify. She sensed a change in her body, her whole body going limp. Her body emitted a faint fragrance that she herself could smell. She was glad she had turned off the lights, otherwise, seeing her flushed cheeks and watery eyes would have been irresistible to anyone.

Finally, Su Tong couldn't resist burying herself under the covers, sneaking into the space, quickly soaking in the pool for a few minutes, then drying herself with a towel from the attic of the space before coming out again.

After being transformed into something too beautiful by the space, Su Tong basically avoided even letting strange men see her face, let alone have physical contact with her. Xiao Yang was the first man she had such intimate contact with. Although Chu Changmao wanted to violate her, he only touched her twice before trying to tie her up to make things easier. That day, all she could think about was how to enter the space and subdue him with an iron shovel, so she didn't pay much attention to her physical condition. Now, the fact that her body was changing and she was a little aroused by the contact with a man made Su Tong panic.

Besides, all we're doing right now is a tight hug; there's not even a kiss or caress. Even loving couples wouldn't normally feel that way. So why do I feel this way now?

The space weakened her so much, yet also made her incredibly beautiful, with delicate skin and an alluring fragrance. From a sexual perspective, this meant she became attractive to the opposite sex. Did it also make her fall in love with men if they were too intimate? That was absurd. Was the space's intention to make someone beautiful and then promiscuous, to make them want to have sex with men? She didn't find such passionate behavior between lovers disgusting, but she absolutely didn't want to have casual sex with someone she had no feelings for.

Su Tong read Yang Guifei's records. She clearly liked Prince Shou, Li Mao, who was close to her age. Was the reason that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took her in, besides the emperor's power, also because of her irresistible physical attraction?

These speculations terrified Su Tong, making her feel like the world was collapsing. However, she had to keep it all to herself and try to accept it while considering what to do next. This kept Su Tong tossing and turning all night, barely getting any sleep.
