The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

C142 – Was Pulled into a Small Dark Room

Heo Yang was visibly shocked and immobilized like a statue when Loong Shen’s retort hit him. The fact that Loong Shen spoke so openly in front of Zuo Bo indicated the truth of his words. Additionally, Zuo Bo’s captivating smile only confirmed this.

In fact, Zuo Bo was caught off guard by Loong Shen’s candid remarks, as he had not anticipated that Loong Shen would one day speak so forthrightly and seriously in public.

This suggests that Loong Shen has expectations from Heo Yang as well, indicating Heo Yang still holds some value.

Zuo Bo’s slight smile hinted at his foresight. He had anticipated that Loong Shen and Zuo Yi would confront him, and he was curious about Loong Shen’s reaction upon seeing him with other men, which is why he did not shy away from Heo Yang’s closeness.

Regarding Xiao Rann, Zuo Bo knew he could easily break any agreement if needed; if Xiao Rann was unable, Zuo Bo could find someone else, as he was never short of allies.

Nonetheless, he reassured Xiao Rann that no intervention was necessary. In this prison, no one but Zuo Bo could rival Loong Shen, a fact Zuo Bo was well aware of.

Moreover, Zuo Bo realized that intervening directly might embarrass Loong Shen. Aware of Loong Shen’s irritation at seeing Heo Yang close to him, Zuo Bo opted to strategize, curious to see Loong Shen’s subsequent actions, and his patience yielded a favorable outcome.

Holding Heo Yang’s hand, Zuo Bo smirked and looked up, his eyes brimming with a cheerful spark, indicating he was in a particularly good mood.

Zuo Yi was taken aback and confused, as it was his first experience seeing Loong Shen so openly expressive.

However, upon reflecting on Zuo Bo’s unusual behavior, Zuo Yi realized with a smirk, ‘Brother, did you do this deliberately?’ Was he trying to make Mr. Loong Shen jealous? He was truly playing a deep game!

After a moment of realization, Zuo Yi wasn’t sure whether to be concerned for Loong Shen or to feel relieved, deciding it was probably best to be pleased.

Initially keen to stay close to Zuo Bo and Loong Shen, Zuo Yi’s attention was diverted by his leader engaging in an assault on Eagle City, prompting him to dash over with excitement.

Subsequently, the crowd dispersed, leaving Heo Yang isolated and mocked by everyone else.

Heo Yang, fists clenched, felt indignant. ‘Loong Shen, huh? Fine, let’s wait and see.’ He doubted anyone could fully understand Zuo Bo, thinking him too slippery to be fully known.

Suddenly, Zuo Bo approached Loong Shen, wrapped his arms around his waist, and declared provocatively, “So, I, Zuo Bo, just want to be in your bed! I didn’t realize until today.” His eyes, gleaming with allure, fixed on Loong Shen.

Loong Shen, initially taken aback by Zuo Bo’s sudden gesture, quickly composed himself. Responding to Zuo Bo’s provocative words with a sneer, he said, “Your lover provoked me, I merely responded politely. If you, Zuo Bo, dispute what I said, you don’t have to acknowledge it; I didn’t coerce you.”

Before he could elaborate, Zuo Bo pulled him into an adjacent storeroom, pushing him against the wall with considerable force.
