Chapter 5: The Cute Woman is the Obedient One

At this moment, Tang Liyue had already circled the manor twice.

The Yu family’s manor was so vast, with numerous villas, and Tang Liyue couldn’t tell which one was the main building.

Being late for breakfast at a strict, well-ordered family like the Yu family was something Tang Liyue didn’t dare to imagine the consequences of.

Any time she saw someone, Tang Liyue was ready to ask them where the main building was.

However, in this huge manor, with servants and maids coming and going, she had yet to see a single person.

Tang Liyue began to panic. Ignoring the pain and numbness in her legs, she hurriedly started jogging.

Finally, she saw a figure.

Ahead, there was a larger, more luxurious villa, this must be the Yu family’s main building.

In front of the main building, there was a lawn where a tall man in a suit stood.

The man had his back to her, holding a cigarette between his right-hand index and middle fingers.

Perhaps he heard her hurried footsteps behind him, as the man turned around.

When Tang Liyue saw his face, she immediately stopped in her tracks. Her round almond-shaped eyes widened in panic.

It was Yu Minchuan’s second uncle!

It was Yu Mo Yuan, the second master of the Yu family, who had been with her all night and had his way with her.

The two stood facing each other at a distance of five meters.

Tang Liyue wanted to escape, but her legs felt weak, and she couldn’t take a step forward.

She was so flustered that she even forgot to look away, staring nervously at Yu Mo Yuan.

Last night, Tang Liyue had been so caught up in everything that she never had the chance to properly see Yu Mo Yuan’s face.

When she learned of his identity in the morning in the hallway, she didn’t dare look at him again.

And now, there was no avoiding his gaze, and she could finally see what Yu Mo Yuan, the man she spent the whole night with, truly looked like.

He stood almost a head taller than her, close to six feet three. The suit he wore made him seem less like the beastly figure he appeared to be, and more refined and imposing.

His short hair was neatly combed back, and he even had a widow’s peak.

On his high nose bridge sat a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. Under the cold lenses were his sharp, phoenix eyes. Those eyes, which had been cold and deep like ice, softened a little when they met hers.

Yu Mo Yuan’s expression remained neutral, and he flicked the ash off his cigarette. “What, are you mesmerized?”

Hearing his voice, Tang Liyue snapped back to her senses.

She really had been stunned!

No wonder Yu Mo Yuan’s reputation was so ruthless, yet he was still the most sought-after man among the wealthy daughters of high society.

Not just because of his power and wealth, but simply because of his superior looks, enough to make countless women pursue him.

“You… I…” Tang Liyue opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.

Yu Mo Yuan didn’t tease her any longer and raised an eyebrow, asking, “Looking for the main building?”

Tang Liyue quickly nodded.

Yu Mo Yuan stepped aside to make way, “The main building is right here. There are only five minutes until eight. You still have time.”

When Tang Liyue heard she only had five minutes left, she forgot about her fear and quickly began to jog toward the entrance.

But, just as she was about to pass by Yu Mo Yuan, he stepped back into her path, blocking her way again.

Though Tang Liyue instinctively stopped, she still couldn’t halt her momentum in time and took an extra half step forward.

That half step caused her to crash into Yu Mo Yuan’s arms, her head colliding with his chin, sending a sharp pain through her and causing her to let out a muffled groan.

The groan made Yu Mo Yuan’s fingers tremble slightly, the cigarette between them flickering.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as his voice became three times raspier, “Running into my arms? Did I not satisfy you last night?”

Tang Liyue immediately widened her eyes and glared at him. “You! It was you who purposely blocked my path!”

Yu Mo Yuan chuckled. “Your name is Tang Liyue, right?”

Tang Liyue turned her head stubbornly, refusing to answer.

Yu Mo Yuan wasn’t angry. He flicked the cigarette to the ground, snuffing it out, and then reached out, grabbing Tang Liyue’s chin, forcing her to face him.

“Answer me when I ask. The obedient woman is the one I like.”

The feeling of having her chin held by “Second Uncle” felt too intimate, intimate enough to make Tang Liyue feel a deep sense of forbiddenness, a feeling that terrified and angered her at the same time.

Even a clay figurine has its temper, and after a day filled with grievances, Tang Liyue finally couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

Her eyes reddened as she glared at Yu Mo Yuan. “What are you doing?! I know it was my mistake last night for walking into the wrong room, but you didn’t suffer any loss!”

Yu Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow at her, his frown deepening at her tone.

He released her chin and said in a low voice, “This was our first time. Do you think it wasn’t a loss?”

The mention of it being their “first time” made Tang Liyue soften a little. “Then… what do you want?”

What did he want? Originally, he had intended to warn her not to trust Yu Minchuan too much, based on the events from last night.

But seeing her attitude now, Yu Mo Yuan no longer felt like playing the good guy.

He smirked and directly pulled her waist into his embrace, lowering his head and leaning close to her ear. “Let me tell you, any woman who has been with me, Yu Mo Yuan, belongs to me and no one else.”

“You better stay away from Yu Minchuan. If I find out you’re doing anything inappropriate with him, I’ll skin you alive.”

Whether it was because of the terrifying threat in Yu Mo Yuan’s voice, or because of the warm breath he sent against her ear, Tang Liyue felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

Tang Liyue pushed him away with all her strength, her voice trembling. “How… how can you do this? Last night was clearly an accident.”

“So what?” Yu Mo Yuan responded, his voice indifferent.

“You…” Tang Liyue was so angry that she couldn’t even finish her sentence.

Yu Mo Yuan was too lazy to continue arguing with her. He lifted his left hand, holding up his watch right in front of her face. “What? Do you still have time to argue with me?”

Tang Liyue glanced down, and to her shock, there was only one minute left until eight!

Realizing the time, Tang Liyue no longer cared about being angry. She forcefully shoved Yu Mo Yuan out of her way and rushed toward the dining hall.

Her long, waist-length hair flew up as she ran, the tips of her hair grazing Yu Mo Yuan’s hand, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

The sensation on the back of his hand made Yu Mo Yuan feel a strange itch in his throat.

Before last night, Yu Mo Yuan had always thought women were troublesome beings, and that physical desire wasn’t necessarily a must.

But now, recalling the taste from the previous night, he finally understood what it meant to crave something once you’ve had a taste.

Unfortunately, Tang Liyue’s current status was as his “nephew’s wife,” and Yu Minchuan would never let her be with him.

Since Yu Minchuan wouldn’t allow it, Yu Mo Yuan would hold off, for now.

As for later, whether or not he would pursue her… that would depend on his mood.

Yu Mo Yuan chuckled softly to himself, “The future is going to be interesting.”
