Observing her silence and confused expression, Shen Xiuqi let out a cold humph at her as he tugged the tie on his neck and walked towards her in large strides.

“Didn’t– didn’t you say that you aren’t going to be back today?” Su Yaya finally snapped out of her trance and looked at Shen Xiuqi.

Standing before her bed, Shen Xiuqi lifted her chin with his slender finger, prompting her to raise her head. His eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of danger glinting within them. Softly, he asked, “What would you have done if I hadn’t returned tonight?”

Meeting his dangerous gaze, Su Yaya’s heart raced rapidly and loudly, as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She nervously fisted her hands on her side and gulped. She said shyly, “I don’t plan on doing anything.”

Heh.

He’d be stupid to believe her!

He curled his lip into a half-smiled, “Do you plan on tearing down the house?”

This question sent shivers down to Su Yaya’s spine. She felt as though any answer might incur his wrath.

Su Yaya was a coward and couldn’t help but shiver. Out of her instinct to survive, she hurriedly said, “How could that be? This is our house! I don’t even have time to appreciate it. Why would I do that? Hehe!”

Shen Xiuqi said “Oh”, purposefully dragging his tone before clicking his tongue.

Su Yaya trembled as she heard this. Her instinct told her something bad was about to happen.

As expected, Shen Xiuqi asked, “Then who was the one that said that since the tiger isn’t home, they’ll be in charge of the house?”

She knew that she couldn’t avoid this. Ahhh!!

Panic surged within her, admitting to it would spell disaster. Taking a chance, she threw herself at Shen Xiuqi, clinging to his waist, her desperation was obvious and with pleading eyes she said in a miserable tone. “It wasn’t me. You must have misunderstood.”

She must submit in this situation.

Su Yaya knew to act according to the other person’s mood. When facing danger, she must immediately submit to the opposing party entirely.

After all, there wasn’t much she could do. All she needed to do was to soothe Shen Xiuqi. Who let Shen Xiuqi be the male lead of this novel? Not only that, he’s the dominant CEO and her sugar daddy! She really couldn’t afford to offend him, otherwise, she might die!

Heh!

Shen Xiuqi didn’t expect her to suddenly throw herself in his arms. She reached over to hug him tightly and revealed a pitiful look like a little kitten. With a beauty in his arms, his heart softened instantly. He couldn’t keep the stern look on his face and laughed suddenly.
