The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Lin Chuan looked at the spectacle in front of him and felt happy. At that moment, he had already forgotten about the wound on his head.

Randomly, Lin Chuan directly threw the apple in his hand out.

At that moment, the surface of the water once again erupted into a violent scramble. It was even more intense than at the beginning.

Lin Chuan watched the state of those creatures with indescribable feelings. Often it seemed like humans were in similar situations. Competing and battling, it mirrored these creatures' fierce fighting, with a significant resemblance to human behavior.

Watching these scenes of rivalry, Lin Chuan quickly tossed all the apples in his hands and those on the ground over.

As Lin Chuan straightened up, there were at least dozens of those dark creatures gathering on the river. Each one looked at Lin Chuan with puzzled expressions, still yearning for more.

But these creatures no longer had that initial fierce fighting demeanor.

Seeing the spectacle before him, Lin Chuan couldn't help but smile happily.

Observing them was akin to seeing humans. Human conflicts often arise because they don't have enough resources or can't satisfy their basic desires. In comparison, these animals maintain much simpler balances. All they seek is to fill their stomachs, while human greed and desires are far more complex and insatiable.

As these creatures focused on Lin Chuan, he suddenly took steps towards the river below. After all, to see if these creatures had truly forgotten their earlier grudges, the best way was to approach them closely and verify their intentions, especially after the apple interaction.

In many instances, Lin Chuan preferred interacting with these animals. After all, these creatures wouldn't kill Lin Chuan gently like Yun Zhendong, nor would they resort to despicable tactics like the Werewolf Clan.

With Lin Chuan's approach, the creatures crowded around eagerly as if waiting for an emperor's decree, showing no signs of wanting to fight.

Lin Chuan felt joy watching their state. Although these creatures couldn't speak human language, their simple actions were already the best form of communication.

Some of the closer creatures climbed onto stones, swaying as they approached Lin Chuan, showing complete submission.

Seeing their cute demeanor, Lin Chuan became even more excited. He carefully extended his hand to touch the belly of one of the creatures.

With Lin Chuan's touch, the creature reacted as if it had received divine inspiration, swaying excitedly. Yet, even so, it controlled its movements, seemingly worried about bumping into Lin Chuan's legs.

Subsequently, Lin Chuan touched each creature's belly in turn.

Seeing the creatures' joyful expressions, Lin Chuan quickly dashed back to the shore.

As he shook his arms, apples began falling from the trees again. Lin Chuan continued tossing the apples on the ground into the river.

Though his movements weren't particularly fast, the swaying bodies of the animals below caused such intense ripples that the entire river seemed to be in chaos.

After throwing all the apples into the water, Lin Chuan didn't forget to wave his arms at the creatures.

After bidding farewell to the creatures, Lin Chuan, worried that Murong Xue might not find him, tried to return the same way. However, the dense trees in the forest caused him to lose his way.

Feeling a headache and a little anxious, Lin Chuan increased his speed to find his way. Suddenly, he spotted a row of houses ahead.

The presence of houses in this forest intrigued Lin Chuan, and he quickly made his way towards them.

The row of houses was typical straw huts. Lin Chuan arrived among them but did not immediately knock or enter.

The doors and windows of the house were already closed. Carefully, Lin Chuan approached the window, constantly listening for any sounds inside.

Whether it's breathing or a heartbeat, these produce subtle sounds often overlooked. At that moment, Lin Chuan was entirely focused on hearing breathing noises from inside the house. If the people inside weren't cautious, they might get overheard.

After a moment of listening without noticing anything unusual, Lin Chuan cautiously pushed the door open slightly, bending down to peer inside.

As a professional, it's crucial to handle such matters meticulously. Without knowing the situation inside, it's risky to enter casually.

Upon confirming once more, Lin Chuan mustered up the courage to step inside, always remaining vigilant of his surroundings. Should danger arise, he was prepared to retreat instantly.

"You rotten scoundrel, you still know to come back, huh? I've been waiting for you here for ages."

Suddenly, a voice echoed inside, particularly a woman's voice.

"You rotten scoundrel, having the nerve to come in, why would you run? What, planning to sleep outside tonight?" Just as Lin Chuan hadn't yet stepped out of the courtyard, the voice inside spoke again.

Lin Chuan realized that the woman inside wasn't speaking to him, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to return to the window of the straw hut, the door suddenly opened, and out stepped a woman.

This woman was dressed in colorful clothes and looked quite decent, especially with those eyes filled with indescribable allure. Seeing Lin Chuan, she suddenly froze and said sweetly, "Who are you?"

...

Zhou Rui, nicknamed "Little Pepper," is known for her straightforward and bold personality, but lately, she has seemed quite troubled.

The main reason for Zhou Rui's worries lies with the baby in her belly.

Ever since fainting last time and going to the hospital, the doctor's words have lingered in her mind.

This child might claim her life; deciding to give birth to him involves substantial risk. But Zhou Rui feels somewhat unwilling and determined to leave this child to Lin Chuan.

She's been pregnant for several months now, and her belly has gradually grown bigger. Zhou Kai and others are aware of who the father of Zhou Rui's child is and are happy for Lin Chuan.

Though they clearly understand that Zhou Rui won't be with Lin Chuan in the future, there's absolutely no blame towards Lin Chuan from them, and besides, it's none of their business.

Zhou Rui's aunt learned about Zhou Rui's pregnancy, and although she knows the child is Lin Chuan's, she needs to confirm it. She questioned Zhou Rui several times, but Zhou Rui remained silent.

With Lin Chuan's family no longer around, his mother having passed away long ago, Zhou Rui's aunt couldn't find any answers, so she decided to calmly take care of Zhou Rui.

Despite being pregnant for several months, Zhou Rui insisted on working, especially with such a big mess at Sichuan University Group.

That day after work, due to handling some documents, Zhou Rui didn't leave the group's office building until after seven in the evening.

Winter days darken early, and by seven in the evening, it was completely dark.

Coming out from the office building, Zhou Rui immediately felt a chill invade her, prompting her to pull her clothes tighter. Driver Xiao Chen had gone to the parking lot to fetch the car, yet over ten minutes had passed without him arriving.

Zhou Rui stood at the office building entrance waiting for driver Xiao Chen for a few more minutes, yet still saw no sign of him driving over, pulling out her phone to make a call.

Dialing driver Xiao Chen's number, the line connected, but no one answered.

Zhou Rui couldn't help but grumble, wondering what on earth was going on with Xiao Chen.

While grumbling, a black sedan stopped across the street. A woman got out of the car, her long, dark hair tied up elegantly, exuding a strong charm.

Zhou Rui recognized this woman; it was Yang Zi, the former chairperson of Liu Group.

Seeing Yang Zi, Zhou Rui was startled, knowing some things about Yang Zi. She was still wanted now.

Yang Zi stepped out of the sedan and walked straight toward Zhou Rui.

"Chairwoman Zhou, do you still remember me?" Yang Zi walked up to Zhou Rui, her pretty face adorned with a charming smile.

Zhou Rui couldn't help frowning and said, "How could I not recognize you? Do you need something from me?"

Yang Zi smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping over Zhou Rui's already bulging belly, saying, "Oh, I didn't realize Chairwoman Zhou was pregnant. Whose child is this?"

Zhou Rui didn't have a close relationship with Yang Zi; possibly even a stranger, so she immediately frowned and said, "That seems to be none of your business."

Yang Zi's pretty face still held a smile, though a glint of anger shimmered in her eyes, saying, "Of course it's none of my business. I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Driver Xiao Chen hadn't brought the car over yet, and Zhou Rui, at this moment, wanted nothing more to do with Yang Zi, turning back to head into the office building.

Yang Zi suddenly giggled, saying, "Chairwoman Zhou, don't be in such a hurry. I want to make a deal with you."

Zhou Rui turned back, saying in a serious tone, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"You will be interested," Yang Zi replied, still smiling confidently, saying, "Chairwoman Zhou, I know who the child in your belly belongs to, and I know you might lose your life because of this child."

Zhou Rui suddenly froze; how did Yang Zi know about these things?

Yang Zi seemed to have guessed Zhou Rui's thoughts, smiling softly as she continued, "I can help you and your child stay safe, but you must promise me one thing."

Yang Zi's words were indeed tempting, causing her steps to stop uncontrollably. She turned to look at Yang Zi without speaking.

Yang Zi continued to smile and said, "My condition is very simple; just entrust your fate to me."
