"If you want the antidote because of reaching that goal, I can certainly give it to you, but I have some other concerns. What if you detoxify Yuexue directly after getting the antidote? Then I would lose the most powerful card in my hand."
Chen Wenzhou squinted at Lu Yi, who furrowed his brow, growing impatient.
"I’ve told you many times, I will absolutely not use the antidote on Yuexue; rest assured, I can prioritise matters. My urgent need is to get Shen Heyu to sleep with me, solidifying our marriage."
Chen Wenzhou found Lu Yi increasingly interesting. He leaned back and slowly lifted his eyelids, watching the man before him, thinking he had been too hasty when he initially decided to collaborate with him.
"How naive can you be? Don’t tell me you actually believe that just by sleeping with Shen Heyu, our marriage will turn real. Don’t forget, before you two registered your marriage, you signed a prenuptial agreement. Your marriage is nothing but a sham."
"What does that matter? As long as the marriage certificate is real, that’s enough. Anyway, I must have Shen Heyu now, I’ve wanted him for such a long time." Lu Yi couldn’t care less; just thinking about Shen Heyu made him irrational, like a madman.
"If that’s what you think, then I have nothing to say. But giving you the antidote still makes me somewhat uneasy. After all, you and Yuexue have an emotional connection, and although there’s no blood relation between you two, I’ve heard Yuexue already sees you as her prospective father."
Even though they were on the same side, Chen Wenzhou had never fully trusted Lu Yi—in fact, Lu Yi was the person he trusted the least. He couldn’t risk handing over something as critical as the antidote to Lu Yi.
"I was good to Yuexue only because she is Shen Heyu’s daughter. To gain Shen Heyu’s approval and favor, I had to establish a good relationship with his daughter."
"Moreover, you just admitted it yourself, clear as day; I have no blood relation with Yuexue. I won’t easily hand over the antidote for an outsider, especially the daughter of my arch-enemy."
