Chapter 9 People Without Wives Can Only Be Sour

Qin Mohuai’s cold and pale face, elegant blue hair, and noble temperament complemented each other, with a hint of dark crimson at the corners of his eyes due to anger.

Petty.

Getting angry over such a tiny little thing.

Who was he trying to scare, huh?!

Xia Yuan was indeed startled:)

In the novel, the crazy male lead only asked Xia Yuzheto stay by his side, and she could do anything as long as she didn’t run away. But Xia Yuzhewas set on freedom, so the plot repeatedly tugged at the heartstrings.

Xia Yuan thought that by staying by Qin Mohuai’s side and satisfying his possessive nature, she could be carefree like the female lead. But she didn’t expect Qin Mohuai to be so petty.

Double standards?

Xia Yuan sighed that she didn’t have the luck of the female lead.

“Honey~ I only love your abs, firm and sexy, even when they’re not tensed, they’re bouncy. I can’t quit even if I die.”

Qin Mohuai’s thin lips slightly curled, pleased by the flattery.

Xia Yuan felt relieved, and after returning to Shenghai Manor, she started catching up on sleep. After all, she had only recovered from her illness a few days ago and felt a bit weak.

When she woke up, Qin Mohuai wasn’t by her side anymore. She found herself in clean underwear and a nightgown.

The scheming man pretended not to be jealous, but ended up tossing around in bed and teasing her with dirty talk, then scolded her in a righteous manner, “Naughty baby.”

Xia Yuan felt like she would eventually suffer from kidney deficiency and lumbar muscle strain. She changed her clothes and left the bedroom, settling in the study area on the second floor.

The oversized sofa was large, and Xia Yuan’s slender figure made it seem like she wasn’t sitting there alone.

It was a quiet space, with only the sound of her typing on the keyboard. Fortunately, she was a Chinese major student and had experience writing papers, but she couldn’t copy her previous work because the topics were different.

Xia Yuan wrote intermittently, pausing to consult sources. The housekeeper brought snacks and fruits.

She casually asked, “Where’s Qin Mohuai?”

The housekeeper replied, “Young Master and Dr. Yang are in the gym. Many guests have arrived at home, and they find it noisy.”

Qin Mohuai had unpredictable moods, such as when he heard that Xia Yuan liked blue hair, he dyed his hair the next day, doing as he pleased, rebellious and untamed.

He often hosted gatherings at home when he was in a good mood and could have fun with friends, but when he was upset, he wouldn’t see any guests for months.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, “Are there any young girls here, around my age, who look younger than Qin Mohuai, not in the same social circle as him?”

The housekeeper smiled, “There are indeed a few very young girls here today. They are friends brought over by Dr. Yang’s sister.”

She adjusted the slipping blanket over Xia Yuan’s feet and was taken aback by the fair skin on her ankles, with a few disturbing finger marks visible, showing signs of a possessive and aggressive behavior from the crazy male lead.

The young master was really not cherishing the jade.

As Xia Yuan contemplated, she realized that this plotline from the original book had been brought forward.

After Qin Mohuai imprisoned the female lead, her mental state deteriorated, and she couldn’t eat for several days. Qin Mohuai called Yang Yi to discuss a solution.

Coincidentally, Yang Yi’s sister brought some people over to play, a group of young men and women around the female lead’s age. So Qin Mohuai ordered them to entertain Xia Yuzhe together.

The next plotline was about to get a little crazy.

Xia Yuzhe  hadn’t interacted with people her age for a long time, especially one of them, her classmate. The two hit it off and her numb and pale face finally showed a smile.

However, in the bathroom, she heard two girls say, “Mr. Qin bet with someone that he’d be in a relationship within three months, and he actually found a girlfriend…”

Xia Yuzhe discovered the truth of her imprisonment, it was all because of a ridiculous bet. She demanded that Qin Mohuai let her go.

She couldn’t play his game.

Qin Mohuai flew into a rage and ordered his bodyguards to detain the young men and women. Whoever admitted to spreading the rumor, the rest of them could leave. No one dared to speak up.

“Since no one admits it, I have no choice but to cut out your tongues.”

Xia Yuzhe called him a madman, that he was breaking the law.

Yang Yi’s sister was terrified and begged her brother to intercede for them. Yang Yi pleaded, but it was useless.

Finally, Qin Mohuai checked the surveillance footage, found out who spread the rumor, and released the others.

The two girls who remained trembled with fear. Qin Mohuai promised Xia Yuzhe that he wouldn’t hurt them, but then he cut out their tongues.

Yang Yi felt Xia Yuzhe was a “femme fatale” and advised Qin Mohuai to let her go, but Qin Mohuai naturally wouldn’t listen. In the end, he cut off all contact with Yang Yi.

For a woman, he even abandoned a twenty-year-long brotherhood.

Xia Yuan couldn’t understand this kind of sick love, but she was greatly shocked.

The comment section was divided into three factions at that time.

One faction praised the male lead’s deep love.

One faction called Xia Yuzhea lunatic. The two girls were gossipy, but not deserving of death. She knew what kind of person Qin Mohuai was, yet she still snitched.

One faction felt sorry for Yang Yi. Twenty-seven years of friendship were lost to the hands of a crazy man and a crazy woman.

Xia Yuan set down her computer and put on her shoes to find Qin Mohuai.

She almost died of anger when she saw this plotline. Wasn’t twenty-seven years of friendship more precious than a twisted love?

This time, she would change the outcome of their falling out, maybe even get Qin Mohuai to reveal some love value…

Qin Mohuai was sweating profusely in the gym. When he caught sight of Xia Yuan, he casually lifted his hem to wipe his sweat, his sexy abs were on full display, and even a glimpse of his sturdy chest muscles could be seen.

Yang Yi: “You’re so flirty~”

Qin Mohuai snorted through his nose, “People without wives can only be sour.”

Yang Yi: “…” You must have put poison on your tongue, huh?

Xia Yuan: “There are guests at home today, it’s so lively. I want to play golf with them.”

Qin Mohuai: “You haven’t fully recovered yet, rest for a few more days.”

Xia Yuan rubbed her slightly sore waist, “Okay, then we’ll sleep in separate beds tonight, I need to rest well.”

She stood on the staircase, the slanted spring sunlight falling on her quiet cheeks, her eyes sparkling with a hazy smoke, a natural aura that was beyond words, truly a treasure bestowed upon him by heaven.

Qin Mohuai could only agree to let her go play, unaware that he had fallen into the little fox’s trap.
