Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 245 - 212: What Is the Truth?

They say gentleness is a trap, a poison, and it’s absolutely true!

She must always keep a clear mind and never fall into his gentle trap...

"Eating, watching TV, sleeping, daydreaming..."

"Boring?"

"It’s okay, quite peaceful."

"It’s your birthday today, is there anything special you want to do?"

"No."

Yasmine Thorne shook her head. She hadn’t celebrated her birthday for many years. A girl from her background couldn’t afford to have extra money for birthdays.

Haha...

Aaron Lynch turned her body around, "In a bad mood?"

"Not at all! I really like it here. It’s quiet and romantic. From any angle, it’s like a painting, and facing the sea makes one feel open-minded. I think living here is an enjoyment."

"Since you like it so much, from now on, it belongs to you."

Yasmine Thorne was shocked, her eyes widened, and she hastily explained, "That’s not what I meant."

Aaron Lynch ignored her words, "It was originally prepared as your birthday gift."

Yasmine Thorne’s face turned awkward, "Didn’t you already give me something before?"

Aaron Lynch was surprised, "Didn’t you not like it?"

How could I not like it, it was just too precious!

But compared to this glass house, that bracelet is probably nothing...

"How can I...?"

"If you like it, just take it."

"..."

Paused, "It’s too valuable. I can’t accept it."

Aaron Lynch’s face immediately fell, "It’s a happy day, don’t say unhappy things."

Yasmine Thorne wanted to say something more, but she was scared off by his cold eyes.

The mindset of rich people is different from hers. In their eyes, spending money lavishly is a normal thing, while to ordinary people like her, it’s an unattainable luxury...

"I let you off last night. Tonight, shouldn’t you properly make it up to me?"

Yasmine Thorne pushed his hand away, "No, this is the terrace."

Aaron Lynch didn’t mind, "What’s there to be afraid of on the terrace? There’s no one here."

"Let’s go inside."

"Actually, I’d rather go to the beach."

"No way!"

Yasmine Thorne hastily refused. Just thinking about the feeling of fine sand all over her body made her extremely uncomfortable, as if a thousand alpacas were galloping through her mind...

Only Aaron Lynch would have such a weird quirk!

"Alright then, you must agree to me tonight..."

"Uh..."

Yasmine Thorne’s cheeks blushed red from his words, even her ears turned crimson.

Soon, she couldn’t hold on, and even her voice became tender.

That night, accompanied by the roar of the waves, was incredibly exhilarating!

The next afternoon at five.

Laura Quincy put on sunglasses to leave the hospital after her injection. Her face still wasn’t fully recovered, and going out like this would surely attract a hundred percent turnaround rate.

But as soon as she reached the corridor, Mary halted her, "Laura, where are you going?"

Laura Quincy replied coolly, "I agreed with Nina to visit the school."

Mary’s eyes flickered with surprise, but she soon resumed her composure, "Going... to school? Laura, it’s not suitable for you to go to school now, is it? Your face isn’t healed yet!"

Laura Quincy saw the meaning in Mary’s expression but didn’t voice it.

"I’m fine. I just suddenly crave a snack behind the school and want Nina to go with me."

"Laura, maybe I should get it for you instead..."

"Mary, staying in the hospital every day is boring, and I want to go out for a walk. Don’t stop me, okay?"

Laura Quincy spoke casually, but Mary could hear the determination in it.

"But... I’m really not assured with you going like this."

"There’s nothing to worry about."

"Laura..."

Mary wanted to say more, but Laura didn’t want to listen, "Mary, if we’re truly friends, please don’t stop me, okay?"

Mary: "..."

Watching Laura walk farther, Mary couldn’t help muttering to herself, "If we’re really friends... what does that mean? Has Laura started remembering something?"

Thinking of this, her face lit up, and she quickly walked to her fiancé John’s office to share the good news with him.

Leaving the hospital, Laura Quincy hailed a taxi to F University. She had already arranged to meet Nina there. No matter what, she had to see for herself and verify things.

The evening campus, under the mysterious and dim streetlights, emitted layer upon layer of faint halos, covering the couples and making the atmosphere particularly romantic and warm.

Laura Quincy walked slowly in the campus. The scene in front of her was both unfamiliar and familiar, making her head a bit dizzy, unsure if the environment she was in was real or an illusion...

As she passed by the basketball court, "Bang!" something hit her on the head, making her yelp in pain.

Then, a guy in a white basketball jersey came running over, apologizing profusely to her, "Hey, I’m really sorry, are you badly hurt?"

Laura Quincy shook her head, "No worries."

The scene seemed to replay itself, giving her a sense of deja-vu...

Getting hit by a basketball when passing by the court wasn’t rare; Laura had no intention of blaming the junior, so she kept her head down, ready to leave.

But the guy in the white jersey blocked her way, "Hey, how about I accompany you to the infirmary?"

Being the heartthrob of the school, it was his first time being so ignored by a girl, which sparked his interest in teasing her, wondering if she was pretending or genuinely indifferent.

His persistent nagging made Laura look up. The boy in front of her was sunny and handsome, with exquisite features, just like Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk.

Due to playing basketball regularly, he had a robust physique and stood at 1.86 meters tall. Standing next to him, she barely reached his shoulder.

Such a fresh-faced little heartthrob, ahem...

Even though the girl was wearing sunglasses, Henry Quinn noticed a captivating charm about her. Even if he couldn’t see her face, his sixth sense told him she must be a beauty!

Men! They inherently have a strange desire to conquer, and the less interested a girl seems in them, the more intrigued they become...

Laura, noticing his fixed gaze on her, became suddenly annoyed, assuming he was one of those rich, playboy types who liked to tease girls.

Feeling playful herself, she decided to tease him back, especially since no one could recognize her with the sunglasses on.

"Little heartthrob, don’t block my way. The face I’m hiding under these sunglasses is one you’ll never forget, though not in the way you’d expect. Men always love a challenge and conquest, but that doesn’t apply to every place or every person."

As Laura spoke, she crooked her lips into a wicked smirk, making a perfectly repulsing expression.

Henry was stunned for a few seconds. With his reputation at school, how could anyone not know him?

There’s no way someone would be so tactless as to say such a thing to him...

This woman is truly amusing!

"Well then, why don’t you take off those sunglasses and let me see? Even if I’m scared, I can handle it."

"Heh heh dah! That trick never works on me!"

Laura laughed coldly and added, "You’re too young, little heartthrob! Oh... I’m a teacher from M University, here to find my boyfriend."

With that, she turned and walked away without looking back.

Whether the little heartthrob believed it or not was not her concern; she doubted he would be bored enough to investigate her...

Honestly, the feeling of flirting with a junior at her alma mater was quite delightful.

Ahem...

After she left, Henry’s lips curved into a confident smile. A teacher from M University? Who’s she fooling, a three-year-old?

Wearing sunglasses, could it be because of plastic surgery?

With the cosmetic surgery industry so advanced now, many girls aren’t satisfied with their facial features or shape...

Thinking of this, he lost interest in her.

Laura had only walked a few steps when she received a call from her friend Nina Pierce, and five minutes later, they met at the small shop next to the tennis courts.

Laura laughed as she recounted the recent events to her friend.

Nina teased, "Laura, your luck with romance is getting better and better."

Laura rolled her eyes at her friend, "Geez! I can’t remember having any luck with romance."

Nina, realizing her slip, said, "Laura, do you really not remember anything after 2010?"

Laura nodded, "Yeah, in my memory, there’s nothing after 2010."

Then she smiled bitterly, "Nina, do you think there’s something wrong with me?"

She pointed to her head.

Nina quickly shook her head, "Laura, don’t overthink it! It’s nothing like that. You just lost your memory temporarily because of a head injury from that car accident. You will remember eventually."

Laura’s lips curved into a bitter smile; she knew her friend was trying to comfort her...

"Yeah."

"Laura, I’ll be by your side no matter what happens."

"Yeah! Let’s go for a walk."

"Sure."

At the entrance of The Imperial.

Yasmine Thorne was chatting with her friend Summer on the phone, all while scanning the area for a certain someone’s car, not catching the last part of the conversation because she spotted a familiar, long, black Cayenne.

"Yasmine! Wayne Shaw is really a great guy! We agreed to have dinner together next Saturday night!"

"Alright! I got it, I’ll hang up now!"

Yasmine hurriedly ended the call, checking that there were no familiar faces around before quickly darting towards the Cayenne and slipping into the back compartment at lightning speed.

Aaron Lynch’s face was cold and harsh, clearly displeased with her sneaky behavior. He grabbed her chin, "Got a tiger chasing you from behind?"

Yasmine winced in pain and tried to pry off his iron-clamped hands.

"Ow!"

There wasn’t a tiger chasing her from behind, but there was an aggressive lion waiting for her in front.

Far and yet so near.

"Why didn’t you wait for me inside?"

"The emperor has arrived; how dare this servant not come out to greet you?"

Yasmine said, blatantly uttering flattery against her better judgment.

Ugh... So cringe...

Aaron’s expression softened slightly, shifting his grip to a gentle caress, "Haven’t seen you in days, and your little mouth has become obedient?"
