Bath

Shang Yao completely ignored her, saying, “I don’t like sweet things. I prefer something more bitter.”

Shang Yao held Ruan Yuexi tightly, whispering in her ear.

Ruan Yuexi kept hitting Shang Yao, but he seemed to feel no pain, letting her hit him as much as she wanted.

Eventually, she grew tired and stopped, glaring at him angrily, feeling helpless that he had found her.

Ruan Yuexi slumped on the sofa, thinking about how to deal with him. Shang Yao stared at her intently.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” Ruan Yuexi asked, annoyed.

“My wife has been missing for half a year. Of course, I want to look at you more.” Shang Yao said coldly.

Ruan Yuexi: “…” Who is your wife?

“Anyway, I don’t care. I’ve already divorced you, and we have nothing to do with each other. I’m not going back to the villa. I’m going to the place where I live.” Without the constraints of the system, Ruan Yuexi was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Shang Yao stared at her coldly. After a moment, he said, “Okay,” surprisingly complying with her wishes.

This made Ruan Yuexi a bit surprised. Shang Yao wasn’t someone who was easy to talk to. “Are you really letting me go back?”

Until Ruan Yuexi stood at her door, with Shang Yao closely following, she realized how naive she had been. He meant that wherever she went, he would be there too.

Ruan Yuexi reluctantly opened the door, knowing that if she didn’t, Shang Yao might just break it down.

She curled up on the sofa, ignoring him. Shang Yao’s eyes never left her.

In the past half year, everyone had a hard time, including Secretary Fang. She was relieved, but she had a feeling that the upcoming days would be challenging.

Shang Yao kept staring at her, and Ruan Yuexi got annoyed. “What’s the point of this? Let me be clear: I don’t like you at all. Can you get a clue?”

Shang Yao didn’t seem affected by her words at all. “Still angry? Half a year should be enough for you to cool down.”

“I’m not angry because I don’t like you, so I don’t care at all,” Ruan Yuexi reiterated.

“You love me, I know,” Shang Yao said confidently.

Ruan Yuexi: “…” She had never been so speechless in her life. How could this person be so arrogant?

“I love you, my fart!” Ruan Yuexi couldn’t help but curse, feeling pushed to the limit.

“You love my fart too. It turns out you love me so deeply.” Shang Yao said with “affectionate eyes”.

Ruan Yuexi’s eyes widened. Save me! If I have committed a crime, please punish me, but don’t let this pervert torment me.

Ruan Yuexi almost passed out from anger. She wanted to hit someone.

“I’m tired of arguing with you. What will it take for you to leave me alone?” Ruan Yuexi asked bluntly, not believing that Shang Yao wanted anything good.

“Come home,” Shang Yao said simply, leaving Ruan Yuexi dizzy.

“I don’t want to. This is my home,” Ruan Yuexi pouted, directly refusing. She didn’t want to go back to face this pervert, not having a masochistic tendency to enjoy being tortured.

Shang Yao stared at her silently. When Ruan Yuexi started to feel uneasy, he spoke again, “Secretary Fang, move all my things in. I’ll work from here from now on.”

Secretary Fang was stunned for a few seconds. “Yes, President.”

Ruan Yuexi: “!!!” She jumped up.

“I object! This is the place I rented!” Why should he move in just because he said so? Ruan Yuexi was defiant.

Secretary Fang informed her mercilessly, “Madam, this house is already under your and the President’s names.”

Ruan Yuexi looked at Shang Yao, who was calm and collected. She realized she was truly stuck with him.

“Aren’t you supposed to go to the company for meetings and work? Don’t worry about me; I’m fine on my own,” Ruan Yuexi laughed awkwardly, hoping to persuade him.

“I can work from home,” Shang Yao shattered her hopes with one sentence.

“But I want to be alone,” Ruan Yuexi said again.

Shang Yao chuckled, “I can call myself ‘Alone’.”

Ruan Yuexi: “…” This ‘Alone’ is not what I meant! Can’t he spare me?

Contrary to Ruan Yuexi’s expectations, Shang Yao didn’t leave her alone but continued to cling to her.

At night, he insisted on staying in her bed. “Get out! I want to sleep alone.”

Shang Yao, of course, refused, forcefully holding her in his arms, inhaling her scent, seemingly very content.

Ruan Yuexi had no choice but to let him hold her, assuming he wouldn’t do anything more.

Days passed like this. One day, when Ruan Yuexi woke up and didn’t see Shang Yao, she found herself alone in the house. She hadn’t soaked in a bath for a long time.

Ruan Yuexi decided to take a bath, lying in the bathtub with rose petals floating on the water. The scent was refreshing.

Finally, she felt a bit more comfortable. She had been almost tortured to death these past few days by Shang Yao’s persistent presence, unable to shake him off.

She hadn’t yet figured out how to deal with this pervert. After all, Shang Yao was different from the original story; he wasn’t as much of a psycho now.

Ruan Yuexi was complaining to herself while taking a bath, thinking about how this pervert once tried to kill her.

She didn’t notice that someone had entered the room as she lay back in the bathtub, enjoying her bath with her eyes closed.

The bathroom door handle turned softly a couple of times, but the sound was too faint for Ruan Yuexi to hear over the running water.

Shang Yao, who had come to check on her, was stunned by the sight in front of him. Ruan Yuexi, with slightly damp hair, was half-lying in the bathtub, her snowy white skin exposed to the air. The mist in the room added a mysterious allure to her beauty.

Just seeing her profile was enough to make Shang Yao’s breathing heavier. He slowly stepped forward.

Ruan Yuexi opened her eyes and saw something out of the corner of her eye. “Shang… Shang Yao!!” She didn’t know whether to get up or stay put.

“Don’t come over here! Otherwise, I’ll call for help!” Ruan Yuexi anxiously tried to stop Shang Yao from advancing.

However, Shang Yao ignored her and continued to approach. Just as Ruan Yuexi was about to scream, he covered her head with a bath towel.

“Get dressed quickly and come out.” Shang Yao said in a rough voice, his tone seeming to hold back something.

Ruan Yuexi was too flustered to think much about it, quickly wrapping herself in the towel. How did he end up here? Why did he suddenly appear?

Watching Shang Yao leave the bathroom, Ruan Yuexi put on her clothes and followed him out.

The atmosphere was awkward, and Ruan Yuexi felt uncomfortable. “Just now… I thought you were going to…”

Shang Yao remained silent, not denying her assumption. Ruan Yuexi, who was usually carefree, did not notice Shang Yao’s unusual behavior.

“Where did you go just now?” Ruan Yuexi awkwardly changed the subject.

“I was in the kitchen making breakfast,” Shang Yao replied coldly, his gaze still fixed on her.

Ruan Yuexi was surprised. “You were making breakfast?” He actually cooked? She had searched the entire house earlier but hadn’t looked in the kitchen, as she couldn’t believe Shang Yao would ever cook.
