Ah… I remember now. I think I saw you earlier. Such a big man, and he doesn't even carry a wallet!" Daphne recalled, saying with a hint of disdain.
"Do you carry a wallet?" Su Zhan retorted, and Daphne instantly fell silent.
With that kind of Ability, who needs to carry a wallet?
"Alright, I guess you have a point." Daphne shrugged.
"Let's go. I'll treat you to a drink. I'm actually a bit tired after running around." Su Zhan invited with a smile. Although Daphne still felt a little intimidated by Su Zhan, she wasn't overly afraid. Besides, being afraid was useless, so she readily agreed.
"You're taking me for coffee?" Watching Su Zhan lead her towards a coffee shop, Daphne pouted, "I thought when a man invites a woman for a drink, it's always alcohol."
"Women don't get drunk, so men don't have a chance? For me, there's no need for that!" Su Zhan chuckled. "If I want to do anything to you, I don't need alcohol. You can't escape my grasp anyway."
Saying that, Su Zhan deliberately glanced behind Daphne, then wiggled his fingers.
Daphne instantly remembered his earlier pinch and gave him an annoyed glare. "Pervert! I'm warning you, if you take advantage of me again, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Mm!"
Su Zhan nodded earnestly, but Daphne suddenly cried out, covering her rear with both hands and glaring at Su Zhan.
"You… you bastard, are you doing this on purpose?" Daphne glared at Su Zhan.
Su Zhan nodded: "Yes, I'm quite curious to see how you plan to fight me to the death."
"Shameless!"
Daphne cried out in frustration.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry and put your hands down, aren't you afraid of people seeing?" Su Zhan said with a smile, pulling Daphne's hands down. Then he opened the door for her. Daphne huffed, walking in indignantly. After she entered, Su Zhan followed, looking at the still-pouting Daphne as he sat down, Su Zhan smiled lightly and called for the waiter.
Chapter 0185: Taking Advantage
After ordering two coffees, Su Zhan smiled at Daphne and said, "Still angry?"
"You must have a lot of women, right?" Daphne glanced at him, then suddenly asked.
Su Zhan nodded: "Yes."
"So, don't tell me you're interested in me?" Daphne asked.
Su Zhan scrutinized Daphne from head to toe, until Daphne couldn't bear it anymore, then he slowly said, "Originally, no, but now I'm a little interested in you. Although you're not the kind of beauty that makes people feel amazing at first sight, you give off a very comfortable and relaxed vibe, and your figure is also good, so…"
"So you're going to pursue me?" Daphne interjected.
"Perhaps."
Su Zhan shrugged, giving another ambiguous answer.
"Speaking of which, do you have any plans? Living by stealing like this isn't a long-term solution." Su Zhan asked.
Daphne raised an eyebrow: "You're already planning to manage me before anything's even happened? What, are you going to arrange a job for me?"
"If you're interested, I'm preparing to open a company specifically to help those who don't want to have Abilities. If you're interested, you can come and help me." Su Zhan invited.
"I don't think you're that kind-hearted, are you?"
"Whether I'm kind-hearted or not isn't important. Isn't it enough if the outcome is good?"
"I'm not going. I'm used to my freedom, and I don't want to be constrained." Daphne shook her head and refused.
Su Zhan pouted: "I won't force you, but you can consider it again. Is it better to continue being a thief, or to use your Ability to help others? Not everyone's Ability is like yours, and not everyone can accept the fact that they have an Ability."
Daphne remained silent, seemingly swayed.
Su Zhan was not in a hurry; he believed Daphne would make the right choice.
After drinking coffee for more than half an hour, the two left the coffee shop. Standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, seeing Daphne still deep in thought, Su Zhan smiled and said, "I'm leaving. Here's my phone number. You can call me anytime you decide."
Handing the napkin with his number written on it to Daphne, Su Zhan smiled and patted her again, then disappeared before Daphne could react and get angry.
Back at the hotel in Las Vegas, Eden was already awake.
Speaking of which, when a man and a woman have an intimate relationship, things do change; they become closer, with less distance, after all… they've already had zero-distance, even negative-distance contact.
After chatting and eating, evening arrived unnoticed, and Su Zhan had already knocked on Charlie's door.
Su Zhan clearly heard Charlie's rapid breathing and quickening heartbeat inside the room, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the door was gently pulled open.
"You, you're here." Charlie said softly, lowering her head.
Su Zhan hummed, walked in, and casually closed the door. Looking at Charlie, who resembled a timid little wife, Su Zhan smiled and said, "Are you ready?"
"Ready… ready for what?" Charlie looked up weakly at Su Zhan.
"To treat your illness." Su Zhan smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down, then beckoned, "Come, lie down."
"Lie down?" Charlie hesitated, then timidly walked over and lay down on the sofa. Of course, her head was resting on Su Zhan's lap.
Su Zhan held Charlie's head with both hands, casually stroking her hair. Charlie closed her eyes, nervous and shy, seemingly not daring to even breathe, her chest clearly rising and falling. Well, this time she was wearing something underneath.
"Just relax, no need to be so nervous." Su Zhan said softly, already activating his Ability to heal her. Charlie wanted to relax, but she simply couldn't. Su Zhan's masculine scent enveloped her, and she was lying on his lap. For her, this was definitely a first-time experience.
"Uh…"
Suddenly, Charlie cried out. It turned out Su Zhan had released one hand and placed it on her body. Although it wasn't a sensitive area, this posture made Charlie a bit uncomfortable.
"My hand is sore, I'm putting it down to rest." Su Zhan's lips curved into a mischievous smile, but he deliberately spoke in a serious tone.
"Mm." Charlie responded softly.
"Still very sore." Su Zhan shook his wrist, then… placed it precisely where he had pinched her earlier that day. "This spot is good, much more comfortable."
Su Zhan chuckled, and Charlie had already closed her eyes, too embarrassed to face Su Zhan anymore.
If earlier that day it was for devouring her Ability, now, Charlie couldn't even find a reason to deceive herself. It was obvious that Su Zhan was doing it on purpose.
Seeing Charlie in such a weak state, appearing to silently acquiesce and not daring to resist, Su Zhan actually felt a little bad about teasing her. She was too well-behaved, so well-behaved that even if he wanted to push her now, she probably wouldn't resist.
"Does this not make you angry?" Su Zhan suddenly asked curiously.
"I, I…" Charlie hadn't expected Su Zhan to ask suddenly. She stammered for a long time without making sense.
"What if someone else were to do this like me?" Su Zhan asked again.
"Then of course not!" This time, Charlie answered very decisively. After speaking, she realized what she had said, then quickly closed her eyes and bit her lip.
"Oh!" Su Zhan deliberately raised his tone, saying with a smile, "I understand now. I thought you were just timid, but it turns out you like me?"
