Qu Shuangyue left happily, thinking that Lin Xiuyan would always slack off when she was asked to practice martial arts, and she didn't dare to move an inch when Ye Junfei asked her to balance a bowl on her head.

Indeed, handsome men have boundless charm!

Her daughter is so well-behaved and adorable, it's only a matter of time before she brings Ye Junfei into the family as her son-in-law!

Lin Xiuyan was really about to cry this time. She had almost forgotten that her mother, who was obsessed with looks, had taken a liking to Ye Junfei's appearance last time!

So, she's going to be abused by Ye Junfei in her own home, and her parents are going to applaud it?

What exactly did Ye Junfei do to them?

Ye Junfei, with one hand behind his back, asked her, "How are you feeling?"

Lin Xiuyan glanced at him listlessly.

At this moment, memories of the past life overlap with those of the present life.

He had asked her the same question in his past life, but she stubbornly stared at him without saying a word.

She thought that in this life, he was in her house, not her in his palace, so she could at least have some control.

She forgot that Ye Junfei's mind was as deep as the sea, and he could easily make someone suffer.

His excellent appearance and outward facade made it easy for him to gain the favor of anyone.

She took a deep breath and said, "I know I was wrong, I will never do it again!"

Ye Junfei asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

He had said these words in his previous life, and the memories of the past stirred up Lin Xiuyan's stubbornness.

She pursed her lips slightly and said, "I don't know. If you say I'm wrong, then I am wrong."

Ye Junfei could tell from her expression that she was extremely resentful of him; the little temper she displayed was adorably awkward.

Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Since you haven't realized your mistake yet, then stand there for another hour!"

Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at him: "If you're so capable, then punish me by making me stand here until I die."

“Oh, I’m not capable,” Ye Junfei replied quite frankly, “but I can make you stand here half-dead.”

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She wanted to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations again.

Ye Junfei always knew how to handle things with great care. As dusk approached, he personally came over and took the bowl off Lin Xiuyan's head.

Lin Xiuyan twisted her waist and moved her arms, pondering the difficulty of killing him at this moment, and finally decided to endure it.

Her body went numb from standing for so long, and when she lifted her foot, she became unsteady and involuntarily fell forward.

Ye Junfei pulled her into a tight embrace, and Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue, who were hiding in the corner, both widened their eyes at the same time.

Lin Yunzhi thought to himself, "Yan'er isn't very reserved!"

Qu Shuangyue said with a gossipy look, "I never knew Yan'er could show weakness in front of others. It seems that Xiao Ye is definitely going to be my son-in-law!"

Lin Xiuyan steadied herself, pushed Ye Junfei aside, and staggered away.

Lin Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Yan'er handled it quite well."

Qu Shuangyue said with some regret, "Why didn't Yan'er take the opportunity to touch Xiao Ye's waist? What's wrong with that girl?"

They saw Lin Xiuyan walking ahead, with Ye Junfei following leisurely behind her.

The way the two of them looked at each other was as if Lin Xiuyan was throwing a tantrum and Ye Junfei was coaxing her.

Lin Xiuyan is charming and gentle, while Ye Junfei is kind and tolerant; they are truly a perfect match!

Lin Yunzhi sighed, "They look so well-matched. Xiao Ye should be our Lin family's son-in-law."

Qu Shuangyue turned to look at Lin Yunzhi and said, "You were even more charming than Xiaoye when you were young. You should have been my husband."

Lin Yunzhi smiled and took her hand, saying, "You were prettier than Yan'er when you were young."

Qu Shuangyue glared at him: "Am I not pretty now?"

Lin Yunzhi hurriedly said, "You look even better now than when you were young, and you have gained even more charm."

Qu Shuangyue liked to hear this: "That's more like it."

Lin Yunzhi's eyes showed a hint of worry: "We have already offended Zhou Chenyang, and today Yan'er went to the City Lord's Mansion to cause trouble. I'm afraid this matter will not end well."

"And in three days, Xinrou will marry Zhou Chenyang, and I have been feeling very uneasy."

Qu Shuangyue was much more open-minded than him: "What's there to be afraid of Zhou Chenyang for? If he dares to cause trouble in the mansion, I'll chop him up."

Lin Yunzhi said helplessly, "Yue'er, many things cannot be solved by fighting and killing. He is an official appointed by the imperial court."

"Killing him is easy, but the series of chain reactions that follow will be very troublesome."

"Therefore, if we want to kill Zhou Chenyang, we must plan carefully, without letting anyone see it, and even more importantly, without letting anyone find any evidence against us."

Qu Shuangyue glanced at him impatiently: "I know! You're always so nagging, it's so annoying."

Lin Yunzhi wasn't angry: "You just like my nagging!"

Qu Shuangyue glared at him first, then laughed.

The couple went back to their room together.

Lin Xiuyan returned to her room; she had been standing all afternoon and her legs were about to break.

After washing up, she lay down on the bed. All she wanted to do was lie there and not move at all.

Ye Junfei sat down next to her and looked at her. She glanced at him, but she didn't dare to get angry with him. At most, she would just turn around and turn her back to him.

Her behavior seemed both childish and adorable to Ye Junfei: "I absolutely adore your angry yet silent demeanor."

After he finished speaking, he immediately took action and gave her a light pat on the buttocks.

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!"

She sat bolt upright, staring at him with wide eyes and exclaiming, "You scoundrel!"

Ye Junfei looked at her with a smile and said, "You've already allowed me to sleep with you, so what's wrong with teaching you a little lesson?"

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

She was so speechless by his words that she almost fainted!

How could he say such vulgar things in such a nonchalant tone?

She climbed to the inside of the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and covered herself completely.

She was dazed for a while, but then felt it was too stuffy, so she reached out and pulled the blanket off.

The moment the blanket was pulled back, she saw Ye Junfei's handsome face magnified.

This was so unexpected that she couldn't help but gasp softly.

Before she could utter a sound, his lips sealed hers.

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

This time, Ye Junfei did not go any further, seemingly just sealing her lips to prevent her from summoning Qiu Tao, who was guarding downstairs.

He lay half-reclined beside her, his eyes gleaming: "I've thought about it carefully. With you going through all this trouble, it's a bit unfair for me to have to protect your family."

"So I decided that I should do something for myself when the time is right."

Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "You won't lose out on what happened today. It may seem like I'm the one causing trouble, but you're actually the one who benefits the most."

Ye Junfei asked her, "Tell me in detail, why am I the one who benefited the most?"
