Chapter 11: What Kind of Tricks Are You Up To?

Chu Ning shivered at the sudden words.

Without thinking, she instinctively blew out the candle.

Then, without a word, she hid in the bathroom, listening intently to the sounds outside the door.

Xiao Zhu saw the light and thought Fu Yuzhou had returned.

Facing the suddenly darkened dormitory, he was a little bewildered.

“Commander, is that you?” he tentatively asked.

He even tried to open the door and come in.

However, he unexpectedly found that the door was bolted from the inside.

It was evident that someone was inside the room.

“Commander, when did you come back? I didn’t see you. Are you hungry? I left you steamed buns and braised vegetables. Should I heat them up and bring them to you?”

Chu Ning was so scared she didn’t dare to breathe.

She wanted to strangle herself. She was in a place that wasn’t hers, and she had foolishly lit a candle, exposing her presence. To ensure her safety, she had cleverly bolted the door from the inside, essentially admitting her presence.

If Comrade Zhu knew someone was inside and she didn’t respond, her identity would soon be exposed.

With no choice, she imitated Fu Yuzhou’s voice.

“No need, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

Chu Ning is a fashion designer.

She is also an amateur voice actress.

She has loved imitating other people’s voices since she was a child.

She had a dream of becoming a voice actress when she was young.

Unfortunately, her prominent family background didn’t allow her to do what she loved.

Therefore, she could only follow her parents’ wishes and become a designer, secretly pursuing her passion for voice acting on the side.

So, she never lacked money.

This is why she had the confidence to fall out with her parents for Zhou Chenhao.

She never imagined that her hobby would come in handy here.

Xiao Zhu was completely fooled by Chu Ning’s realistic imitation.

He simply said, “Understood,” and left.

After the footsteps faded, Chu Ning’s tense nerves finally relaxed.

Having come this far, she also grew bolder.

She generously lit the candle again.

Knowing that Fu Yuzhou wouldn’t be home tonight, and unsure when she could return, Chu Ning, unable to stay awake, wanted to rest up and prepare for whatever came next!

She climbed into bed, pulled the covers over herself, and fell asleep.

It was the first time she slept under a man’s covers.

Despite her cleanliness, she didn’t dislike Fu Yuzhou’s bedding.

Instead, she found the crisp scent on his bedding pleasant.

Perhaps because it had been recently sunned, it was warm and smelled of sunshine.

Before long, Chu Ning fell asleep.

•  

Late at night.

When Fu Yuzhou returned, he stood at the door and was stunned to see the flickering light in the dormitory.

His icy eyes, already terrifyingly deep, were now as gloomy as a moonless night.

He wasn’t here, so why was the candle lit?

However, he quickly remembered what the sentry had told him—that Chen Guihua had come looking for him.

Immediately, his gaze darkened, and he strode forward. The door was still bolted from the inside.

Damn Chen Guihua, she was incredibly brazen.

He had told her he didn’t like her.

Yet she shamelessly came looking for him, and even sneaked into his room—she was practically asking for death.

Fu Yuzhou unceremoniously used a stick to pry open the door bolt and entered.

The sound of the door bursting open startled Chu Ning awake.

In a daze, she suddenly saw the man standing at the door.

“Ah!” she screamed in fright.

She rolled over and quickly pulled the covers over her head, wrapping herself tightly, afraid that the man would rip the covers off her the next second.

Chu Ning didn’t know who had burst in.

In her confusion, she didn’t see the man’s face.

She only knew that her situation was dangerous.

“Don’t come closer, don’t even think about it. I’ll have you know, I’m the fiancée of your Commander Fu, Fu Yuzhou. If you don’t leave, when Commander Fu returns, he’ll kill you.”

A warning voice came from under the covers, somewhat unclear, but Fu Yuzhou heard the key words.

Fiancée?

The voice didn’t sound like Chen Guihua’s.

Fu Yuzhou was a little confused. He walked towards the bed.

“Who is it? Come out.”

Fu Yuzhou commanded in a low voice.

The chilling voice, carrying an icy chill, made Chu Ning tremble.

Fu Yuzhou?

Chu Ning recognized Fu Yuzhou’s voice.

“I’m not wearing any clothes, get out first.”

Fu Yuzhou also recognized Chu Ning’s voice.

He paused, somewhat incredulous.

“Chu Ning?”

Chu Ning trembled, “Yes, it’s me.”

Hearing this, Fu Yuzhou cursed.

“Damn it, is this a game? Get out!”

After searching high and low, he found her without even trying.

If he had known she would come to him, he wouldn’t have gone all the way to find that intellectual youth surnamed Chu.

That intellectual youth’s name was Chu Ling.

He mistook Chu Ning, who had seduced him, for Chu Ling.

When he arrived at the health clinic in the brigade twenty kilometers away, he realized he had found the wrong person.

That Chu Ling wasn’t the one he was looking for.

But since he was already there, he did a good deed and brought Chu Ling back overnight.

On the way back, he kept telling himself that Chu Ning, who had broken into his room that day, was a ghost, not a person.

He was simply insane, to give up returning to the city for a ghost and absurdly go twenty kilometers to find her.

He never dreamed that this woman would appear again?

Chu Ning could hear Fu Yuzhou’s anger in his voice.

It made sense; she had shown up uninvited in his house, slept in his bed, and used his bedding.

If it were her, she would be angry too.

“I told you, I’m not wearing any clothes, get out first, let me get dressed.”

Chu Ning deeply regretted it.

Why had she taken off Fu Yuzhou’s shirt before going to sleep?

She was currently wearing a spaghetti-strap sleep dress.

The size was questionable, and the fabric was thin and see-through—too revealing.

She had already been embraced, kissed, and taken advantage of by Fu Yuzhou last time.

She absolutely couldn’t let him see her naked this time.

But Fu Yuzhou, who was filled with anger, wouldn’t easily agree to Chu Ning’s request.

Letting her escape last time had been enough to make him grit his teeth in anger.

Now that she was in his hands, he absolutely couldn’t let her get away.

Immediately, Fu Yuzhou didn’t say a word and lifted the covers.

The next second, Chu Ning’s alluring image in her spaghetti-strap sleep dress appeared in Fu Yuzhou’s line of sight.

Chu Ning hugged her body, curled up into a ball.

The white spaghetti-strap sleep dress barely covered her.

The sheer fabric clearly outlined Chu Ning’s beautiful figure.

Especially her cleavage, the outline was distinct, the curve was beautiful.

And Chu Ning’s two straight legs, white and somewhat dazzling.

Fu Yuzhou had never seen a woman’s body before.

For a moment, his mouth was dry, his Adam’s apple moved involuntarily.

Even his gaze towards Chu Ning was somewhat erratic.

“What… what are you doing? What kind of tricks are you up to again?”
