Caught Swimming, Terrifying Male Lead Shang Yao…

Part 1

However, it was too dangerous here at the moment, so Ruan Yuexi reluctantly abandoned the idea and sighed regretfully.

Ruan Yuexi shook her head in disappointment as she stood up. She seemed to recall that there was also a swimming pool in the villa, but at the time she was focused on increasing her abuse value, so she didn’t pay attention to it.

It seemed that she could only do what she wanted once her abuse value was maxed out. Feeling a bit regretful, she turned around and saw a man leaning against the door.

It was Ning Chen, and Ruan Yuexi’s tense heart relaxed.

“It’s you,” Ruan Yuexi’s visibly relieved expression amused Ning Chen.

Ning Chen had his hands in his pockets, “Are you disappointed to see me?”

Ruan Yuexi waved her hand, “How could that be? You’re so handsome you’re almost blinding me.”

Ning Chen: “…” Why did he feel so uncomfortable after hearing that?

“Do you want to swim?” Ning Chen changed the subject.

Ruan Yuexi nodded, “I wanted to, but not anymore.” There were too many wolves here, she didn’t want to be a lamb.

Ning Chen slowly looked Ruan Yuexi up and down, his gaze deepening. “Why not?”

Ruan Yuexi looked around and didn’t see any sign of Shang Yao. She perked up and said, “I don’t want to upset Brother Yao.”

Ning Chen was puzzled, “What did he do now?”

Ruan Yuexi looked sadly at the pool, “I don’t have the right to set foot in the pool at home. Brother Yao said if I touched the water, he would have the entire pool replaced, afraid I’d contaminate it…”

Ning Chen frowned, “Brother Yao is too much. I’ll speak for you in front of him.”

Ruan Yuexi was startled and quickly stopped him, “Please don’t. I’m afraid Brother Yao will get angry with me again. Last time, when Uncle Li spoke up for me, Brother Yao got so angry that he strangled me.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Ruan Yuexi looked like a devoted woman who endured humiliation and had no regrets.

Ning Chen straightened up, “Did he lay hands on you?” His expression was serious.

Ruan Yuexi, frightened, covered her mouth, “No, I was just talking nonsense. Please don’t tell Brother Yao. I am willing to endure all this.”

Ning Chen was frustrated, “Why can’t you leave him? Do you love him that much?”

Ruan Yuexi didn’t nod but looked out the window, “Without him, my life would be like a walking corpse. I would end my life in despair, so even if Brother Yao is with other women, I’m willing to stay.”

Before Ning Chen could get angry, an old man who managed the villa happened to come out the back door and heard Ruan Yuexi’s words.

“Young girl, why are you so stubborn? There are so many men in this world, why tie yourself to one tree? In my opinion, he’s a scumbag,” the old man said angrily.

Ruan Yuexi was stunned for a few seconds by the sudden appearance of the old man, who continued to speak earnestly.

“You’re so good-looking, why worry about not finding a good man? Life is long, and this kind of bad man isn’t worth your affection,” the old man shook his head and walked away.

Ruan Yuexi: “…” The old man was full of life wisdom.

“The old man is right, why bother?” Ning Chen said after a moment of silence, trying to persuade her again.

Ruan Yuexi sighed, “Love is uncontrollable. As long as Brother Yao doesn’t abandon me, I’ll do anything.”

Ning Chen’s gaze carried pity. “I misunderstood you before.”

Ruan Yuexi forced a smile and lightly shook her head. “No, it’s all in the past. Misunderstandings happen.”

Heartbroken, she left the swimming pool. Passing by Ning Chen, he stopped her.

Ruan Yuexi looked at the arm blocking her path, then turned to Ning Chen with confusion.

Her figure, alluring even under the dress, her beautiful face filled with doubt, her eyes like autumn water, captivating.

Ning Chen finally fixed his gaze on Ruan Yuexi’s cherry-red lips. “Do you want to consider being with other men in the future?”

Ruan Yuexi: “?”

“In the future, who knows? Maybe Brother Yao might be with someone else and won’t want me anymore.” Ruan Yuexi covered her face sadly and ran off.

Watching her retreating figure, Ning Chen murmured, “If that’s true, it might not be a bad thing.” There was a hint of anticipation in his words.

Ruan Yuexi reached the bathroom. This drama was played well. She almost applauded herself. When she returned to the villa, she would continue with Uncle Li to increase her abuse value.

Excitedly checking her abuse value, she exclaimed in the bathroom, “63 points!” Ruan Yuexi was thrilled.

It seemed leaving Shang Yao was imminent. After using the bathroom, Ruan Yuexi came out and encountered Tang Qingqing.

After a moment of confusion, Ruan Yuexi didn’t greet her, just washed her hands and prepared to leave.

However, Tang Qingqing stopped her. “Please wait.”

Ruan Yuexi stopped and turned to look at her. Tang Qingqing approached with an uneasy expression.

“Has Brother Yiliang contacted you recently?” Tang Qingqing twisted her fingers, feeling that Lu Yiliang had been distant from her lately. After that incident, he seemed very different from before.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t understand why she was asking. Wasn’t Lu Yiliang one of her most devoted admirers?

“Why would he contact me?” It was puzzling.

“But after that incident, he ignored me.” Tang Qingqing bit her lip.

Ruan Yuexi rubbed her chin. “Oh, I see. But what does that have to do with me?”

Tang Qingqing gathered her courage and looked Ruan Yuexi straight in the eyes. “If you hadn’t pulled him down at that time, maybe none of this would have happened. And he was there to save me, not you. Besides, you already have Brother Shang Yao. Can you not compete with me for Lu Yiliang?”

Ruan Yuexi looked her up and down. “Do you need to see a psychiatrist? You dare to bring up the staircase incident? At the time, what happened, others might not know, but you, the person involved, should know.”

Before Tang Qingqing could speak, Ruan Yuexi continued, “I have every reason to suspect that you attempted murder intentionally, pretending it was an accident by pushing me down the stairs.”

Tang Qingqing’s face turned pale instantly. She hadn’t expected Ruan Yuexi to be so blunt.

Approaching Tang Qingqing step by step, Ruan Yuexi suddenly raised her voice…

“Just kidding! Surprise, surprised? Are you surprised or not?” Ruan Yuexi grinned broadly at her.

Tang Qingqing: “…”

“Look how scared you are. There’s something a little abnormal about me. I especially hate people who deliberately pick a fight. Usually when I deal with these people, I drink their blood and gnaw their flesh, and I never call the police.” Ruan Yuexi pretended to be sinister and moved closer to Tang Qingqing.

Tang Qingqing’s face was full of disbelief, “You…you can’t do this.” But her body kept backing away.

Ruan Yuexi rushed over with a “wow”, and Tang Qingqing was so scared that she held her head and screamed.

“Hahahahahaha!!” Ruan Yuexi laughed while holding her stomach when she saw how scared she was.

“Look at how scared you are. Did you really believe that? Oh my, you’re too naive. Do you even believe this? Do you live in a horror movie?” Ruan Yuexi pointed at Tang Qingqing without any politeness and burst into laughter. She almost couldn’t straighten her back due to laughing.

Tang Qingqing blushed deeply. “You played another trick on me!” She was so angry she trembled all over.

Leaning against the wall, Ruan Yuexi said casually, “You came looking for trouble yourself to let me mess with you. If I don’t tease you, who will I tease?” Innocently shrugging her shoulders.

Tang Qingqing was so angry she nearly bit her lip. “Your sweet words and fake smiles.” Ruan Yuexi was too much.

With her arms crossed, Ruan Yuexi said nonchalantly, “It’s better than your groundless accusations, despicable and shameless, never repentant.”

“You!” Tang Qingqing was not good with words, so angry she couldn’t speak.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t bother listening to her nonsense and walked away. It seemed she could attract trouble no matter what.

Tang Qingqing stared at Ruan Yuexi’s departing figure, hands trembling in anger.

When Ruan Yuexi returned to the living room, Shang Yao had already packed his bags.

“Brother Yao, are we leaving already?” 

So soon? Didn’t we say we’d play for two days?

Shang Yao glanced at her expressionlessly. “Something happened at the company, so I can’t leave.”

“Oh,” Ruan Yuexi said. That was great. She was still thinking about how to avoid the supporting male character Ye Yishen, but now it was solved.

Ning Chen and Lu Yiliang looked a little unhappy, but Ye Yishen remained calm, smiling gently as he watched Ruan Yuexi leave.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t dare to look in Ye Yishen’s direction until she got into the car, then relaxed her vigilance. Her phone suddenly vibrated.

Opening it, she saw a message, [We’ll meet again soon.]

The sender was an unknown number, and Ruan Yuexi almost threw her phone away. She had a feeling it was Ye Yishen who sent this text.

This yandere was too terrifying. Ruan Yuexi glanced at Shang Yao beside her. Seeing him resting his eyes, she wisely kept quiet.

Back at the villa, Ruan Yuexi suddenly relaxed. Butler Li greeted them.

After Shang Yao dropped Ruan Yuexi off at the villa, he left alone without saying a word to her from start to finish.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t care whether he spoke or not. After Shang Yao stared at her feet all night, besides raising her abuse value, she hoped to stay away from him as much as possible.

Butler Li quickly sized her up and down, “Madam, are you alright?”

Ruan Yuexi was about to shake her head but immediately stopped herself, “I’m fine, Uncle Li.” She deliberately placed her hand on her arm.

Butler Li knew her hand was injured again, “Madam, you should let the doctor check it out quickly, don’t let the illness linger.”

Ruan Yuexi avoided eye contact, “No, really, I’m fine.” Then she hurried upstairs.

Butler Li was especially worried. It seemed that the Master had been violent again. What was Madam going to do? She was probably going to lock herself in the room and cry quietly again.

After entering the room, Ruan Yuexi checked her abuse value. It was 64 now, maybe Butler Li had just helped her gain one point.

Rolling up her sleeve, she painted a “bruise” on her arm. After finishing, Ruan Yuexi looked very satisfied, “Looks real enough.”

She needed to increase her abuse value as soon as possible, before Shang Yao found out anything. Thinking about his twisted personality, Ruan Yuexi shuddered and dared not think further.

So Ruan Yuexi changed into a piece of homewear that exposed her arms and went downstairs.

As soon as she came downstairs, Butler Li noticed the bruise on Ruan Yuexi’s arm, “Madam, your arm!”

Ruan Yuexi quickly covered it, “I bumped into something yesterday.”

How could Butler Li believe that? “Madam! Let the doctor take a look. What if it affects your bones?”

Ruan Yuexi forced a smile, “I’ve already applied medicine. It’s really nothing.”

Butler Li looked at her arm with heartache, unable to persuade her. He could only worry alone.

“Madam, Master is becoming more and more excessive. You should stay away from him.”

Ruan Yuexi shook her head, “Uncle Li, I’m afraid Brother Yao will no longer want me. If he doesn’t want me, what will I do? I’ve noticed he’s been fond of another woman recently.”

Butler Li couldn’t bear to hear this. How could Master hurt his wife who loved him so much?

Ruan Yuexi sat on the sofa dispiritedly and ate cherries to relieve her sadness. They were so sweet.

Butler Li watched her trying to distract herself with food and felt even more sorry for her. Madam deserved a better man.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t realize how successful she was at portraying herself pitifully. She couldn’t stop eating cherries this time, and her abuse value increased by another 4 points, making Ruan Yuexi so happy she couldn’t sleep.
