Chapter 18 What do you take me for?

Lin Xiyin rented a small apartment; to put it bluntly, the entire apartment was only about 40 square meters, smaller than even a bathroom in Pei Muyi's house.

Pei Muye stood in the entrance hall, showing no intention of going in.

This place is so small that it's easy to see everything at a glance.

The restroom is on the right as soon as you enter; you can see the toiletries without even going inside.

The living room features a simple two-seater sofa with two throw pillows on it.

Lin Xiyin's pajamas were on the bed, one pillow was at the head of the bed, and another pillow was placed horizontally in the middle.

Even the slippers, there was only one pair.

There is absolutely no trace of anyone else living here.

Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Xiyin didn't seem inclined to invite him in to sit down.

She only asked, "I've seen it, are you relieved now?"

She had barely finished speaking when Pei Muye's phone rang.

He answered immediately, his voice gentle, his previously cold gaze now softened with a hint of a smile: "Qingwan, okay, I'll be right back..."

Lin Xiyin couldn't hear what was being said over there.

But Pei Muyi turned around and left, holding his phone as he pressed the elevator button.

Lin Xiyin watched his retreating figure, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Then, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Lin Xiyin, keep going!"

She cheered herself up.

Letting go of Pei Muyi and driving this man out of my heart is of utmost urgency.

The next day was New Year's Day, and Lin Xiyin called Pei Yaohai to say that she wouldn't be going back.

Pei Yaohai didn't say anything.

As for the Lin family, Lin Zihao sent her many messages, but Lin Xiyin did not reply.

In the afternoon, Tang Yishen called.

"Ruanruan, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, senior brother."

Tang Yishen smiled and asked, "I'm going to the chemical plant later. Are you coming today?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyin quickly said, "I was just about to go over there."

"Then I'll come pick you up."

"Need not……"

"I'm nearby. Come downstairs in ten minutes."

Lin Xiyin had no plans for today, and the chemical plant should also be closed today.

But at noon, the person in charge called to say that they were rushing to finish the project and therefore did not have a holiday.

Lin Xiyin then decided to go over there.

If she finishes her work early, she can focus on her exam.

Lin Xiyin changed her clothes and quickly went downstairs, where she indeed saw Tang Yishen's car.

The two went to the chemical plant and returned after 8 p.m.

Lin Xiyin's stomach was growling with hunger, and Tang Yishen was also quite hungry. The two randomly found a restaurant to eat at, and then Tang Yishen took Lin Xiyin back.

It was almost 10 o'clock by then.

Lin Xiyin wouldn't let him get off the car, telling him to go back and rest quickly.

Tang Yishen still got out of the car: "I wanted to take you upstairs, it's not safe for a girl to be alone at night."

Lin Xiyin laughed and said, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere now, and I took the elevator as soon as I went in, so it's fine. Senior brother, you've been busy all day, go back and rest."

Tang Yishen looked at her: "Today... is the first day of the new year. Although it's busy, it's very meaningful."

Lin Xiyin nodded: "Yes, I hope that every day from now on can be meaningful."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and then laughed.

Tang Yishen suddenly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, but quickly let go and said, "Go upstairs and rest."

Lin Xiyin didn't hesitate and waved to him, "Goodbye, Senior Brother!"

Back at her place, Lin Xiyin took a shower. Just as she came out of the bathroom, she heard someone knocking on the door.

The restroom was right by the door. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who is it?"

It's past 10 p.m., late at night. She's a woman living alone, so she definitely needs to be careful.

No one spoke from outside the door, but they knocked on it a few more times.

Lin Xiyin became even more vigilant, picked up her phone from the shoe cabinet, opened the dial pad, and prepared to call the police at any moment.

"If you don't say something, I'm calling the police!"

There was a few seconds of silence outside before someone spoke: "It's me, open the door."

It was actually Pei Muye?

Lin Xiyin lowered her guard, opened the door a crack, and asked curiously, "Why are you here..."

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Muye pushed open the door and came in.

Lin Xiyin was pushed aside, frowning: "What are you doing here?"

Pei Muye closed the door with one hand and put his other arm around Lin Xiyin's waist.

Lin Xiyin instinctively tried to dodge, but Pei Muye had already pinned her against the door.

Lin Xiyin then realized that Pei Muyi had been drinking.

He smelled of alcohol, which mixed with his original cool fragrance, creating a unique aroma.

It doesn't smell bad.

He didn't speak, his cool eyes lowered as he looked at Lin Xiyin.

Lin Xiyin tried to push him away: "Let go of me first..."

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Muye lowered his head and kissed her.

Lin Xiyin was stunned for a moment, but Pei Muye had already charged straight in.

Lin Xiyin struggled desperately, but she couldn't escape the man's grip.

He hadn't said a word since he came in, but Lin Xiyin had a strange feeling that Pei Muye was angry.

What is he angry about?

Is she using herself as a punching bag again?

However, Lin Xiyin soon had no time to think about those messy things anymore.

Lin Xiyin always felt that lovemaking without a foundation of love was no different from beastly behavior.

Pei Muye is not only exceptionally talented in this matter, but also a practical person.

Each time, Lin Xiyin felt as if she had gone through a battle, her limbs limp and her whole body powerless.

Pei Muyi has been working out for many years and is also very skilled in martial arts and Sanda. He went to the military camp for training when he was a teenager.

For a man like that, Lin Xiyin's resistance was utterly insignificant.

Pei Muye's wild and domineering demeanor tonight was exactly the same as the night he learned that Ming Qingwan was going to get engaged to Pei Yunqing.

Lin Xiyin's voice was broken.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Muye finally stopped pressing down on her and remained still.

Lin Xiyin was unable to move even a single finger.

Pei Muye is a beast, and even more so, a hungry wolf.

It was as if he hadn't touched a woman in eight hundred years.

It almost drove her to her death.

Lin Xiyin fell asleep almost instantly.

When she woke up again, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Especially the area he favored last night, it felt sore and swollen, an indescribable discomfort.

She had barely moved when her body froze.

Pei Muye... was behind her.

He held her in his arms, her back pressed against his chest.

Neither of them was wearing clothes, and their skin was pressed together.

In Lin Xiyin's memory, Pei Muyi rarely hugged her like this.

Especially when she wakes up in a man's arms, such a thing is extremely rare.

"woke up?"

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded from above.

Lin Xiyin didn't know how to react.

Yes, she and Pei Muye are not divorced yet, so it's normal for them to have intimate contact.

But she didn't want that to happen at all.

But she could never resist Pei Muye.

Moreover... in the end, it wasn't Pei Muye forcing her anymore.

After all, Pei Muye is truly... exceptionally talented in this matter.

She's not a wooden person; she'll react too.

I wonder what Pei Muye thinks of her.

It doesn't matter how you think about it anymore.

Because she would never care about Pei Muye's opinions and attitudes again.

She would never let Pei Muyi touch her again.

Are you hungry?

The sound from above continued, and the next second, the man moved.

Lin Xiyin watched helplessly as he got out of bed.

His physique is so good that it would make women scream; he has chest muscles, abs, and a V-line, making him both sexy and beautiful.

At this moment, he stood naked in front of Lin Xiyin.

Even though Lin Xiyin had slept with him countless times, she still couldn't help but blush when she looked at his body.

He handed her a glass of water: "Have some water first. You were moaning for a while last night."

Lin Xiyin was both embarrassed and ashamed: "That's all because of you..."

She stopped talking before she could finish.

She took the glass, drank about half of it, and then said, "Pei Muyi, I don't know what you take me for, but..."

"What do I take you for?" Pei Muye interrupted her. "You are my wife. Tell me, what do I take you for?"

"You treat me like a wife? Or am I just a tool for sexual gratification? Did you ask for my opinion before you did anything?"

Pei Muye looked at her: "You're enjoying it too, aren't you?"

Lin Xiyin choked.

Even if she was unwilling at first, she couldn't resist... Pei Muye's innate conditions were too good, his methods were too clever, and his skills were superb.

Which woman could resist that?

"What would you like to eat?" Pei Muyi looked down at her. "Is there any food in the fridge?"

Before Lin Xiyin could say anything, Pei Muye casually picked up the bath towel next to him and tied it around his waist.

Then, shirtless, he went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was small, and the man's tall figure made the space feel even more cramped as he entered.

He opened the refrigerator, glanced inside, then turned to Lin Xiyin: "Want some noodles?"

Lin Xiyin's mind was in a mess, she was still holding the cup in her hand, and her eyes were somewhat confused.

What does Pei Muye mean?

Is he going to cook?

Does he cook for himself?

Lin Xiyin could hardly believe her ears.

But in fact, Pei Muye really did cook her a bowl of noodles.

Lin Xiyin still felt it was a fantasy after finishing the meal.

She never knew that Pei Muye could cook.

As Pei Muye was leaving, he glanced at her and said, "I forgot to tell you last night, Happy New Year."

He left, and Lin Xiyin sat there, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

She had made up her mind to divorce Pei Muye, to let him go, and to never love him again.

But... she found it too difficult.

She had put in so much effort, but Pei Muye simply slept with her and cooked her a bowl of noodles, and all her efforts were wiped out.

She simply couldn't resist Pei Muyi like that.

She gave a bitter laugh. So, how could Pei Muyi possibly respect her when she was so lowly and contemptible?

To earn respect from others, you must first respect yourself.

Lin Xiyin, you still have a lot to do...

Her phone suddenly rang, and she looked down at it.

It was a message from Ming Qingwan.

She said: "Sister Xiyin, did Brother Muye go to your place last night? I accidentally cut my finger while I was cooking, and he was heartbroken and very angry, so he went out. If he's angry, could you try to talk him out?"

Pei Mu was angry because Ming Qingwan had cut her finger.

He couldn't bear to lose his temper with Ming Qingwan, so he came here to vent his anger.

Everything Pei Muyi had done before was like a slap in the face to Lin Xiyin.

In an instant, Lin Xiyin's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
