A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Tiancheng’s eyes. Today, seeing Bai Chenyao, the astonishment in his heart was challenged time and again, testing his limits.

But when Bai Chenyao said it was revenge, he wasn’t surprised at all.

If Bai Chenyao had said that he genuinely liked Mu Tiantian and that was why he was with her, Shen Tiancheng might have burst out laughing instead.

The idea that a high-ranking special forces soldier would fall for a woman was utterly ridiculous.

Moreover, over the years, none of the women hovering around Bai Chenyao had ever made it to his bed.

In fact, they couldn’t even get closer than three steps.

Not to mention, back when Bai Chenyao was in Lishui County, Gu Tiantian’s Mu Tiantian had given him a tough blow.

However... what puzzled him was that Mu Tiantian seemed to not remember at all.

The second encounter between Bai Chenyao and Mu Tiantian was in the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, and it’s said that their initial meeting was bloody and violent.

In fact, for a long time, Bai Chenyao had no feelings for Mu Tiantian whatsoever; it was almost purely an outlet!

Love?

Simply ridiculous!

He racked his brain, unable to fathom why Bai Chenyao would keep Mu Tiantian by his side until he had someone investigate Bai Chenyao’s past, finding only a few clues.

Unfortunately... too much time had passed, and any evidence had long been blurred by time and concealed by those with an agenda.

And his questions to Bai Chenyao were mostly probing.

Yet unexpectedly, Bai Chenyao nodded in acknowledgment.

Still, Shen Tiancheng couldn’t quite understand, so he asked directly.

"If it’s revenge, then why care if Mu Tiantian wakes up?"

Bai Chenyao’s eyes were deep and indifferent, and his voice was cold and devoid of emotion, but the innate majesty and nobility were undeniable and unchallengeable.

He smiled slightly, his handsome and aloof face surpassing all other scenery for a moment, causing the luxurious private room to pale in comparison.

His low, detached voice echoed slowly in the room.

"Doesn’t Young Master Shen think that it’s more satisfying to discard something after obtaining it?"

Shen Tiancheng: "..."

He had thought the same, even secretly imagining that if he were Bai Chenyao, and had a deadly feud with Mu Tiantian years ago.

Encountering Mu Tiantian now, the best way to deal with a woman would naturally be to gain her; not only obtaining her body but capturing her heart, making her hopelessly in love, then... discarding her cruelly.

Yet, while this seemed straightforward and normal for others, when it came to Bai Chenyao, it felt terribly awkward.

Something seemed off.

Shen Tiancheng slowly raised his eyes, quietly scrutinizing Bai Chenyao, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

"Wouldn’t having her die silently be more satisfying?"

Bai Chenyao still had that slight smile, his excessively thin lips a vivid red, exuding a subtle chill; slightly curved as he looked at Shen Tiancheng with an inscrutable gaze from his dark, star-like eyes.

His red lips parted slightly, on his handsome and indifferent face was an unprecedented sense of coldness and detachment.

The words he spoke were piercing and heart-rending.

"Living, at certain times, is more painful than dying!"

As Bai Chenyao finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
