Shang Yao’s Inability??

Ruan Yuexi quickly followed Shang Yao, “Brother Yao, do you want to take a nap?”

Shang Yao glanced at Ruan Yuexi, ignored her and walked into the room. When he was about to close the door, Ruan Yuexi slipped in.

Shang Yao’s face darkened again, “Get out.” His tone was so cold that it made people tremble.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t take his anger seriously at all. After entering the room, she looked left and right. There were not many decorations in the room. The style was very consistent with Shang Yao, cold.

“Brother Yao, Xi’er knows that Brother Yao is shy, but everyone has a first time.” Ruan Yuexi saw the photo on his desk as she spoke.

Shang Yao stared at Ruan Yuexi with his icy cold eyes. Ruan Yuexi picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

“This little carrot looks like a little old man, frowning as if someone owes him money. He’s even scarier than Brother Yao.” Ruan Yuexi muttered and complained.

Shang Yao: “..This is me.”

Ruan Yuexi covered her mouth, “Is it true? No wonder the more I look at him, the more I like him. He looks so cute.”

Shang Yao: “…” How could she lie with her eyes open?

“Get out.” Ruan Yuexi was given an irresistible order.

Reluctantly, Ruan Yuexi put down the photo, glancing back every two steps. Just before leaving, she said, “Brother Yao, won’t you reconsider letting me give you a massage…”

With a “bang,” the door closed tightly in front of her. Ruan Yuexi blinked, touched her nose, and sighed, unable to give him a massage.

Feigning sadness, Ruan Yuexi turned around and left, walking downstairs with a sigh, her chin resting in her hand.

Butler Li looked at her with concern, “Madam, is the master angry again?”

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed Brother Yao. He really dislikes me,” Ruan Yuexi shook her head in feigned sorrow.

Butler Li quickly comforted her, “Madam, perhaps Master is just tired.”

Ruan Yuexi remained indifferent, “Maybe. Brother Yao said he couldn’t, and then told me I was daydreaming. Could it be that I have no charm at all?”

Butler Li gasped at certain words. Couldn’t? Master… couldn’t??

“Ma…Madam? Did the Master really say that?”

Ruan Yuexi covered her mouth and nodded sadly, “He said I shouldn’t even think about it in this lifetime, that he simply can’t.”

Butler Li staggered, barely managing to stay upright by holding onto the sofa. No wonder there were never any women around Master, nor any scandals.

Feeling pity for Ruan Yuexi, Butler Li was even more sympathetic. Ruan Yuexi was on the verge of laughing from her feigned sadness.

“I’m fine. I’ll stay by Brother Yao’s side no matter what. Whether through stormy weather, fire, or snow, I’ll always love only Brother Yao.”

Ruan Yuexi recited emotionally, leaving Butler Li deeply moved, “Madam, marrying you is Master’s good fortune. The old master has a good eye for people.”

Ruan Yuexi covered her face, “But Brother Yao doesn’t like me at all.”

Butler Li sighed again, unable to offer any comfort.

After Ruan Yuexi acted out a sad drama titled “The male protagonist is incompetent, but the infatuated female supporting role never leaves him and always follows him”, she returned to her room and turned on the abuse value.

“26!” Ruan Yuexi exclaimed. How could it increase so much at once?

Butler Li must have been too effective. Excited, Ruan Yuexi bounced on her bed, feeling that freedom was just ahead!

Having learned such “explosive news,” Butler Li couldn’t sit still. He immediately instructed the chef to make several kidney-replenishing dishes and soups.

Master must find it difficult to speak about, so he’s been hiding it. Dietary supplements should be effective, Butler Li thought firmly. Master must succeed!

In a great mood, Ruan Yuexi ate three bowls of rice at dinner, even catching Shang Yao’s eye several times.

“Madam, you’d better not eat any more.” Butler Li worried she might have indigestion from overeating.

Shang Yao continued his meal elegantly, as if Ruan Yuexi didn’t exist.

Ruan Yuexi cupped her face, “I’ll listen to Uncle Li then. With Brother Yao here, I ate two more bowls of rice. Brother Yao’s face really boosts my appetite, like a braised pig’s trotter.”

Shang Yao: “…” His eating paused, and he looked up to stare coldly at Ruan Yuexi.

Butler Li’s expression stiffened. Madam’s way of complimenting was truly novel… and crude.

Ruan Yuexi beamed at him, “Brother Yao, eat up. You are what you eat.” She used serving chopsticks to put something unidentifiable into Shang Yao’s bowl.

When Shang Yao saw what was in his bowl, his expression grew even colder.

“Ruan Yuexi!!”

His ears turned red, his jade-like face filled with anger. Ruan Yuexi couldn’t understand why he was angry.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t this pig’s trotter tendon? Eating pig’s trotters replenishes the tendons.” Ruan Yuexi looked sincerely at the clearly embarrassed and angry Shang Yao.

Butler Li also saw what Madam had put in the bowl and quickly turned away, blushing and not daring to speak.

Shang Yao put down his chopsticks, “Using such means, you’ve really accomplished something.” He sneered at Ruan Yuexi and left the table.

Ruan Yuexi: “??” Completely puzzled, what was that about?

“Brother Yao, walk slowly, be careful not to trip and fall.” Ruan Yuexi called out to his back, showing her concern.

Shang Yao’s steps faltered, and he turned slightly, his chilling gaze fixed on Ruan Yuexi once more.

Ruan Yuexi smiled sweetly at him, “I know Brother Yao wants to say thank you, no need to thank me. It’s what I should do.”

Shang Yao: “…” Never had he seen someone so shameless.

Butler Li wiped cold sweat for Madam. Master seemed to have a hard time dealing with her.

Ruan Yuexi continued eating fruit, unaffected. In the face of delicious food, even the tragic literature value took a backseat. The world could wait; eating was the priority.

In the middle of the night, moonlight spilled through the large floor-to-ceiling window, and the man on the bed frowned tightly, seemingly trapped in a nightmare.

A familiar cabinet, endless darkness, a hallway with no end. A woman stood with her back to him. As he approached, the woman suddenly turned around.

It was… Ruan Yuexi! Dreaming, Ruan Yuexi grinned at him, “Brother Yao, I farted, smell it.”

Shang Yao: “!!”

Little Shang Yao tried to run away, but Ruan Yuexi in her dream covered his mouth with her hand, and the gas made him roll his eyes.

“Brother Yao, doesn’t it smell good? Do you want to smell it again? I’ll try my best to put another one for you.”

Shang Yao: “…”

“Hah!” Shang Yao’s forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat and his breathing was slightly rapid, as if he was awakened by a nightmare.

Getting out of bed, Shang Yao walked to the dark living room where certain sounds could be heard.

His face hardened as he walked towards a faintly lit spot. On the sofa, someone was giggling. Hearing footsteps, she turned her head in confusion.

“Brother Yao, why aren’t you asleep yet?” Ruan Yuexi asked, munching on a bag of chips while watching TV.

Shang Yao’s expression remained cold. “Do you know what time it is?”

Ruan Yuexi glanced at the clock. “I’m just watching the last episode, just one more. Do you want to join me?”

Shang Yao glanced at the cartoon playing on the TV and remained silent.

“It’s really good,” Ruan Yuexi eagerly invited him.

Shang Yao gave her a look as if she were an idiot, then turned and walked away, seemingly unwilling to engage with her.

Ruan Yuexi shrugged. If he didn’t want to watch, that was fine with her. She enjoyed it, so she continued watching the cartoon with great interest.

The next day, when Ruan Yuexi woke up, Shang Yao was already gone. After stretching, she checked her abuse value.

“The abuse value is now 29.” Thanks to Butler Li’s assistance last night, her value had increased by several points. Victory seemed close.

“Uncle Li? Where is Brother Yao?” Ruan Yuexi asked Butler Li after coming downstairs.

“Madam, Master left early for a shareholders’ meeting,” Butler Li replied with a smile. 

“Breakfast is ready.”

Ruan Yuexi was contemplating whether to go to Shang Yao’s company. She wanted to quickly reach the abuse value of one hundred to escape various dangers.

“Thank you, Uncle Li,” she said, sitting at the table to eat breakfast.

Before Ruan Yuexi could make up her mind, someone came to the door—it was the female lead, Tang Qingqing.
