And now that Virus was not selflessly doing that, if those people saw the world as only black or white, they might just accuse him of evilly wanting to take advantage of a woman in need, a man on the dark side of the world.

And certainly, that might be in fact true.

But… which one was worse? The guy that's actually stepping up to do something about a mother's despair while the rest of the world had left her alone to this very point? Or the rest of the world that just simply judged him for his deeds while doing nothing about the sufferings and pains they saw in the world surrounding them?

'Should I accept his offer? I should, right? It's not like I have any other options left… it's not like he's that disgusting Fan Tong either… and everything's gonna remain a secret forever. He's also unbelievably handsome, ugh, what am I thinking, get a grip, you stupid woman.' Scolding herself briefly, she ultimately began walking toward Virus step by step.

And finally arriving in front of him, reaching her right hand, she was about to s.n.a.t.c.h the Red-Crystal when…

"Ah-"

When suddenly, pulling that hand, Virus forced her into a sitting position over his lap.

Then, gazing into her round eyes, an interested grin took shape on his face, "So… this is your choice, right?"

Staring into his penetrating yet mesmerizing eyes that waltzed among different colors of gold, blue, and greenish-blue depending on varying grounds such as the angle one was looking at them, the kind of expression he was putting on, or the entirety of the lighting of the room itself, she could only helplessly blush and look away under its sharp glint that could probably see right through either her clothes, heart, or perhaps both.

She wasn't sure.

"Say it with your own lips. Your decision." Insisted Virus while amused by her shy reactions.

"You… y-you already know my choice, do I need to spell it for you to understand?" Remaining in that sitting position on his lap, while refusing to look back into his eyes, she murmured.

Softly grabbing her cheeks, turning her face toward himself, locking her eyes in himself, he voiced strictly, "Yes, spell it out for me. I want to hear you say it."

"You!" Frustrated, the Chinese beauty didn't know how to respond at first. No matter, sighing helplessly, she mouthed in the end, "What do you want from me? What do you want me to say?"

Caught off-guard by the abrupt questions, Virus realized a very essential fact. The fact that he hadn't actually thought about this aspect of the deal at all. What did he want from her indeed?

Thus, wearing a more serious expression than ever before, he pondered for several seconds before finally answering, "To be honest… I'm not sure yet. What I want from you… it might be a casual one-night stand, a plaything, a girlfriend, a kiss, somebody to tease, or perhaps nothing at all. It may be either one of those, more, or none at all. I don't know…"

Then pausing momentarily, he added further, "Nevertheless, I'm impressed by your insightful question, it's good to know what you're signing up for. You're a smart woman, Hu Yuexin."

Listening to those words, perhaps for the very first time since meeting him, Hu Yuexin was curious about this charming man called Aizen Vee as different notions flickered through her surprised mind, 'Even he doesn't know himself? He's helping me although he's not certain what he wants from me yet? Does that make any sense? Just what kind of a person is he? He could've just said I want a plaything or a mistress and have me forever on the sidelines, but he's not saying that. Those genuine eyes cannot be lying. I feel it, I think.'

'But why! Could it be he's doing all of this just to help me out but since he has no reason to lend a hand to a stranger like me, he's making it seem as if he's the one taking advantage of me? Like that is his benefit in this odd circ.u.mstance?' It was at this point when Virus abruptly squeezed her plump a.s.s, forcing her to snap out of her contemplation with a jump just like a scared cat, "You-"

Wearing an innocent smile, while pretending to have done nothing wrong, he uttered, "So, what's your choice? Tell me."

As that sensation of her a.s.s being grabbed was still being felt by her, with a shade of red covering her cheeks, she concluded, 'I was wrong! He's definitely a hungry wolf after my innocent body! A h.o.r.n.y animal!'

Nonetheless, feeling greatly blissed about the concept of finally being able to save her son, although she was stuttering slightly, she declared rather resolutely, "M-my answer is… 'yes'. I'll be y-your whatever-you-want-me-to-be. Are you happy now?!"

"Haha…" chuckling at her admission, he promptly grabbed the still-standing body from her slim waist before pulling her to sit on his lap once again.

Then, before she could mouth her dissatisfaction at him, taking a hold of her defeated face, he sealed his lips on hers.

"Mhh~" Caught by surprise, Hu Yuexin's eyes went wide open before she began struggling with a moan and an abashed face.

The struggle lasted for a mere few seconds before she, at last, calmed down. She calmed down because she realized this was what she had signed up for.

Next, closing her eyes shut, she allowed the beast to relish the beauty.

After several minutes of making out and kissing, just as she was expecting him to advance even further, stopping with a final peck which for some unknown reason felt extremely gentle to her, he whispered, "Go now. Go save your son first. Everything else can wait for later."
