Su Yu was completely bewildered.
'If I remember correctly,' she thought, 'I only said I'd give Huai Xu a chance, didn't I?'
Huai Xu gripped Su Yu's waist, easily lifted her up, and placed her on a clean reef rock by the sea. Once she was seated, he pressed in close, standing before her and looking up at her face.
Having grown into an adult, Huai Xu was already achingly handsome. As he stared at her with those resplendent eyes, Su Yu found it a little overwhelming, and a warmth slowly crept into her cheeks.
She shifted back slightly, a faint blush on her cheeks as she turned her head away. "I… I never said that."
"I just agreed to give you a chance to become my Beast Husband. If you don't perform well, I… won't accept you either."
Huai Xu watched her intently, taking in her every reaction, every expression. His heart softened. He couldn't resist reaching out to gently stroke her cheek, asking softly, "Then what do I have to do to become your Beast Husband, Yu Yu?"
