No... Wasn't it Charm Techniques?
Shen Yuan tightly gripped the blanket, his face flushed as he lowered his head. He couldn't understand what was happening. He wasn't the kind of person to act impulsively. Initially, when the woman stood naked before him, all he felt was caution—nothing beyond that.
Why is it, then, that when she approached me... I reacted in such a way?
And that feeling... even now, it leaves me incredibly unsettled.
When he thought back on his actions, he felt too ashamed to face her.
"Why?"
Finally... he mustered up the courage to ask.
"What do you mean 'why'?" The woman approached with a sly smile. "It's cooperation, naturally. You saw it yourself—had I returned even a moment later, the situation wouldn't look as it does now."
Her gaze turned somber. Clearly, she'd been under scrutiny from above. Despite all her accomplishments through the years, they still distrusted her. In the end... she remained an outsider.
