Kiss

Ruan Yuexi left it at that. Whether Lu Yiliang believed her or not, it had nothing to do with her. The reason she told him so much was because Lu Yiliang had saved her before.

“Brother Yao, let’s go.” Ruan Yuexi wasn’t disappointed in Lu Yiliang because she had no expectations of him. He was always loyal to the female lead, perfectly fitting his character.

Shang Yao took Ruan Yuexi’s hand and looked at her coldly, “Hold me.” After saying that, he put his hand on Ruan Yuexi’s shoulder without caring about Ruan Yuexi’s reaction.

Ruan Yuexi was speechless. It wasn’t like Lu Yiliang’s punch hit Shang Yao’s leg. He was being so pretentious.

Lu Yiliang’s impulsive attack on Shang Yao was indeed excessive, and Shang Yao, after all, was also a victim.

Ruan Yuexi decided it was best to keep her distance from Lu Yiliang in the future. Becoming mere acquaintances would suffice.

Shang Yao seemed to notice the change in Ruan Yuexi’s attitude towards Lu Yiliang. A slight, smug smile tugged at his lips.

Ruan Yuexi had no idea that Shang Yao was playing the victim to make her lose all affection for Lu Yiliang. If she knew, her first plan would be to escape from Shang Yao’s side.

Lu Yiliang felt a pang of helplessness in the face of Ruan Yuexi’s indifference. If what she said was true, then Tang Qingqing was not to be pitied. Ruan Yuexi and Shang Yao were the true victims.

For a moment, Feng Yi saw that Ruan Yuexi’s words were likely true. However, he was puzzled by the fact that Shang Yao didn’t fight back. Letting Lu Yiliang off like that? That didn’t seem like the Shang Yao he knew.

“I believe Ruan Yuexi on this matter. Tang Qingqing probably isn’t as innocent as she appears. As for your punch, find a time to apologize to Brother Yao.” Feng Yi patted Lu Yiliang on the shoulder.

Lu Yiliang’s gaze lingered on Ruan Yuexi’s figure as he turned with a desolate expression and walked towards the elevator.

Feng Yi shook his head and sighed. He had been deceived by Tang Qingqing’s facade. Lu Yiliang loved Tang Qingqing deeply, but he wondered if she took advantage of his feelings.

Ruan Yuexi supported Shang Yao out of the door. “Hey, you’re really heavy!” She felt him leaning heavily against her. Although the distance was short, Ruan Yuexi was breathless by the time they reached the car.

Shang Yao smelled the fragrance on Ruan Yuexi’s body and felt relaxed both physically and mentally, completely ignoring Ruan Yuexi’s complaints.

Ruan Yuexi finally helped him into the car, feeling sweaty. “How did your foot get punched?” It was clearly his face that was suffering, yet his foot couldn’t even move.

“Dizzy,” Shang Yao explained in a cold voice.

Ruan Yuexi: “…” 

She had pains everywhere—head, back, you name it. It was truly exhausting.

Sitting in the car, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ye Yishen was waving goodbye to her outside.

Startled, Ruan Yuexi shivered. This yandere was really unpredictable and quite scary.

As Ye Yishen watched the car leave, he murmured, “See you tonight, little one.”

Ruan Yuexi shivered uncontrollably in the car. Why did she feel so chilly all over? Clearly, encountering Ye Yishen, this yandere, made her extremely uncomfortable.

Back at the villa, Shang Yao leaned on Ruan Yuexi. Ruan Yuexi didn’t want to support him. “Brother Yao, I saw you got out of the car very smoothly just now.”

After saying this, Ruan Yuexi quickly let go of Shang Yao, rushed upstairs, and made a face at him as she slammed the door shut.

Shang Yao was stunned by her series of actions for a few seconds, then chuckled softly. Even Xiao Fang was amazed. Did the master just laugh? And was it a doting smile towards the madam?

After entering the room, Ruan Yuexi opened the abuse value system. “Alas, when will I reach a full score of 100 in abuse value?” Although she was only a dozen points away, she worried that something might go wrong.

Unexpectedly, Shang Yao didn’t try to sleep with Ruan Yuexi that night.

After a moment of surprise, Ruan Yuexi was overjoyed. She guessed that Shang Yao must have been shocked by today’s events. What a pleasant surprise.

She fell asleep heavily under the covers. At this moment, Shang Yao was talking to Secretary Fang in the study. “Handle it this way.”

“Yes, President,” Secretary Fang on the other end of the phone nodded in response. 

These people who had offended Shang Yao were really going to end up in a sorry state. If it weren’t for Old Mr. Lu’s past close relationship with Old Mr. Shang, Shang Yao, given his temperament, he wouldn’t care about brotherhood.

Shang Yao hung up the phone, got up, and went to the door of Ruan Yuexi’s room. Without turning the knob, he could probably tell that Ruan Yuexi had locked the door from inside.

The key in his palm made a slight collision sound, and Shang Yao used it to open the door.

Inside the room, Ruan Yuexi was still asleep, completely defenseless.

Shang Yao’s tall figure slowly approached the bed and blocked Ruan Yuexi’s small face.

In her sleep, Ruan Yuexi felt her ears itching and reached out to scratch, but she didn’t wake up.

Shang Yao gently kissed Ruan Yuexi’s earlobe and slowly moved to her cheek.

Moonlight spilled on Ruan Yuexi’s small face as Shang Yao’s fingertips gently slid over her features, seemingly admiring and yet restraining something.

Ruan Yuexi was hugged tightly by him, and in her dream she seemed to be hugged by a koala, and she actually turned into a tree.

Shang Yao leaned down and kissed Ruan Yuexi’s lips, gently prying open her lips.

Ruan Yuexi was kissed awake like this, making a muffled sound. “Hmm…” How did he get in? And taking advantage of her again!

Instead of letting go of Ruan Yuexi, Shang Yao intensified the kiss. Ruan Yuexi couldn’t resist and could only let him kiss her.

After who knows how long, Shang Yao released Ruan Yuexi. Ruan Yuexi pounded him several times, but finally she was too sleepy to bear it anymore and didn’t bother to pay attention to him anymore, so she fell asleep again.

When she woke up in the morning, she found herself tightly held by Shang Yao.

Ruan Yuexi broke free from his arms, and Shang Yao, who was sleeping heavily, woke up immediately.

“Why didn’t you go to work today?” Ruan Yuexi asked in surprise. He usually left early.

Shang Yao seemed to have had a good night sleep. “I’ll go later,” he said hoarsely.

“Come here,” Ruan Yuexi was coldly ordered.

Ruan Yuexi didn’t want to go. “I’m going to wash up,” she said, quickly getting out of bed to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Shang Yao stared at Ruan Yuexi’s back, not angry.

Ruan Yuexi was still a little afraid that he would be angry, but whether he was angry or not, she didn’t want to go.

When she went downstairs for breakfast, Shang Yao was no longer in the villa, and Ruan Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Fang approached. Ruan Yuexi cleared her throat and prepared to start playing the victim and increase her abuse value.

“Alas…” Ruan Yuexi sighed deeply, deliberately attracting Xiao Fang’s attention.

Xiao Fang asked anxiously, “Madam, is there something sad?”

Ruan Yuexi shook her head, looking heartbroken. “Maybe I’m not worthy.”

Xiao Fang quickly comforted Ruan Yuexi, “Madam, what’s wrong?”

“Last night at the banquet, Brother Yao said that I don’t deserve to be his wife for the rest of my life. He also said that his true soulmate is another woman.” Ruan Yuexi cried, covering her face.

Xiao Fang felt that the master was becoming more and more excessive. She didn’t like the master at all. He was too bad for the madam.

“Don’t cry, madam. No matter what the master says, you are already his wife. He can’t do anything to you,” Xiao Fang comforted, feeling more and more distressed for Ruan Yuexi.

Ruan Yuexi shook her head again. “It’s no use. Brother Yao said that when the time comes, he will divorce me!” She cried, covering her face, pretending to cry uncontrollably.

Xiao Fang became anxious. “How can master say such things!” 

Actually, the madam was so beautiful that she could easily find someone who loved her.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can stay by Brother Yao’s side, I can endure anything he says,” Ruan Yuexi said without regret, like a moth to a flame.

Xiao Fang admired the lady even more for her fearless nature in love and hate. “Madam…” It was so touching. 

Why would such a good person like the madam be treated like this by her husband?

Ruan Yuexi was secretly amused, feigning misery for a while longer. Quietly, she opened the abuse value system and watched the value soar straight to 92 points.

Only eight points left. Xiao Fang left to do some work, so Ruan Yuexi had to wait until next time.

After breakfast, she wandered aimlessly around the villa, feeling pleased when she stumbled upon a hidden gem—a sunny corner with a small fish pond and two rocking chairs.
