C20 Listen to Me

Suk Kuang was surprised. He felt that something was wrong with Liu Xi today.

Could it be the same as seven years ago?

Seven years ago, Liu Xi was indeed Su Kuang's girlfriend.

However, that was all fake. Liu Xi had asked Su Kuang to pretend to be her boyfriend.

Liu Xi was born in a red family and her grandfather was one of the founding fathers of the country. He had a lot of battle points and was a big shot in the military.

However, with the retirement of old man Liu and his age and body becoming weaker and weaker, the Liu family started to become unstable. Some political enemies and dissidents couldn't wait to take down the Liu family.

Although the second generation of the Liu family was also supported by high ranking officials in the provincial government, compared to the name of the Red Family, this power was too weak. Without the protection of Old Man Liu, the Liu family was on the verge of decline.

What should they do when the power of the family was getting weaker and weaker and could not support the family business and resist the attacks of their political enemies?

There was only one simple way - to marry into another powerful family.

Liu Xi was the most beautiful woman of the third generation and was naturally sacrificed by the Liu family. At the age of sixteen, Liu Xi was forced to marry into the Song family.

This was like a bolt out of the blue for a young girl. At that time, Liu Xi couldn't accept it and ran to cry in front of her grandfather.

Liu Xi knew that her grandfather had always stood by his word. As long as her grandfather said no, she would be able to escape. And Old Liu valued relationships the most and was loyal his entire life. When it came to relationships, he wouldn't allow betrayal.

So Liu Xi lied to Elder Liu and told him that she already had a boyfriend, and that she would never betray her boyfriend and marry into the Song family. She wanted to be like her grandfather and be a faithful man.

These words indeed moved Elder Liu. Elder Liu asked to see her boyfriend and asked her to bring him over.

But how could Liu Xi have a boyfriend? Just as she was thinking about who to disguise herself as, she met Su Kuang.

Liu Xi had paid attention to Su Kuang before and knew that he was very good in his studies. He was the only student in her class who could compete with her for first place.

Apart from that, Liu Xi also knew that Su Kuang often fought and the people he fought with were all her pursuers.

The smart Liu Xi knew that Su Kuang had a crush on her and for some reason, she decided to let Su Kuang pretend to be her boyfriend.

When she asked with a red face, Su Kuang instantly agreed and in order to not reveal any flaws, the two decided to get to know each other.

However, something went wrong during this time and the two started to get to know each other.

After they got to know each other, they realized that they had the same interests, the same thoughts, and the same view of the world. That was why they were attracted to each other.

In that week, the two went from fake to real and fell in love. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long and Liu Xi was soon called back by the Liu family and didn't come back until the middle school exams.

In the end, Su Kuang didn't see Liu Xi's grandfather. Instead, Liu Xi's father and uncle appeared once and threatened and humiliated him before leaving.

After the middle school exams ended, Su Kuang entered the army and never saw Liu Xi again. He only left behind some memories.

When he saw Liu Xi again, Su Kuang's feelings towards her seemed to be the same as seven years ago. They seemed to be lovers but not lovers.

When Liu Xi held his arm, Su Kuang felt that this feeling was extremely familiar, but it was also very far away. For a moment, he forgot to speak and left the hall side by side with Liu Xi.

Liu Xi held Su Kuang's arm and didn't leave the hotel. Instead, she brought Su Kuang to a presidential suite on the top floor.

This, was going to get a room?!

Su Kuang was stunned for a moment. Even though the two of them had feelings for each other, it was still a reunion after a long time. It wouldn't be appropriate to get a room right away, right?

However, Liu Xi had already thrown caution to the wind. How could he refuse?

He was a man, a normal man. At this time, his body could not help but become excited.

Liu Xi was a bit nervous at first, but she soon calmed down. She turned around and saw Su Kuang staring into her eyes. Her face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head to avoid looking at Su Kuang.

Su Kuang's Adam's apple moved, and he hesitated in his heart. He wondered if he should go up and hug her. After that, he could roll around in bed. This was his long-cherished wish for nearly ten years.

"Su Kuang, how have you been all these years? A few years ago, I went to the army to check on you, but I didn't find anything. Ever since my grandfather died, our family has lost control of the army." Liu Xi felt Su Kuang's state and quickly spoke.

Su Kuang recovered from his shock and suppressed his impulse, "It's pretty good."

The reason why Liu Xi couldn't find out anything about him was because his information was absolutely confidential. When Old Liu was still around, it wasn't a big deal if he wanted to find out about him. But now that Old Liu was gone, it was impossible to find out anything about him.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?" Liu Xi suddenly asked, and then her cheeks turned red again. She looked more beautiful than any flower.

Su Kuang opened his mouth. Did Liu Xi want to start over with him? "No!" Not to mention that he really didn't have one, even if he did, he would say no.

Liu Xi was happy at first, but then her face became sad. She said, "Then you have to hurry up. I... I'm getting married."

"You're getting married?!" Su Kuang exclaimed.

"Is it the Song Family again? Is it the same as seven years ago? Did your family force you? Don't deny it. I can see the resistance in your eyes. If you don't want to, I can help you!" Su Kuang frowned and said.

Liu Xi looked gratefully at Su Kuang and shook her head: "It's different. Last time it was my family who forced me to marry, so I can always reason with them. But this time it's an outsider."

"Are you going to sacrifice your happiness?" Su Kuang didn't understand. Even if the Liu family couldn't make it, they would just lose some power. They could still live a hundred times better than ordinary people. Why would Liu Xi sacrifice herself for this?

"Thank you, Su Kuang. I'm already very happy to see you once before I get married. You don't have to persuade me anymore. This matter can't be changed. This is my fate." Liu Xi's face was full of melancholy, and her voice became softer and softer.

Everyone was envious that she was born in a red family but how would they know that being born in such a family meant losing a lot of freedom including the freedom to fall in love?

The reason why she looked for Su Kuang was because she wanted to meet this ordinary man who had once moved her heart.

It was a pity that he was too ordinary. He was born in Shantytown and didn't have any power or background. He couldn't help her at all this time.

She suddenly remembered what her cousin had said to her.

Her cousin had told her that since she was no longer able to fight back, she should leave her best for the person she liked.

No matter what, she couldn't let the young lord of the Song Clan, Song Bin, take advantage of her!

The only man she liked was Su Kuang. She would have no regrets if she gave her virginity to him. He would just treat it as a repayment for the short time they had spent together seven years ago.

Liu Xi looked at Su Kuang's bronzed face and suddenly felt her face turn red. She bit her lips and walked towards Su Kuang step by step.

Under Su Kuang's stunned expression, she gently hugged Su Kuang's waist and pressed her face against his chest, feeling his heart gradually accelerate.

Liu Xi muttered: "Don't talk, just listen to me, okay?"
