After Li Sikai left, Tao Jianian fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if Yuan Ruoxi is determined to ignore him, then the power of rumors and public opinion will be powerless against her.

But now, he really has no other choice. He wants to live, he wants to live a good life! It seems that he has no choice but to listen to the other party's advice.

When Li Sikai returned to his tent, he saw Yuan Ruoxi lying on his bed playing on her phone, showing no remorse whatsoever.

“You should go back!” Li Sikai said in a cool voice.

"No way, Tao Jianian has already taken over my tent. Why would you want me to go back? I'm staying here tonight." Yuan Ruoxi slammed her phone on the bed and acted like a spoiled child.

"Stop messing around. We're a bunch of grown men, and you're just a little girl living here. Do you think your reputation isn't bad enough already?" Li Sikai scolded.

"It's not like I haven't stayed here before!" Yuan Ruoxi rolled her eyes. "Don't think I don't know, you guys changed my clothes, and you all saw me naked. Tell me, don't you want to take responsibility for me?" Yuan Ruoxi looked at Li Sikai with a sweet smile and said in a cloying voice.

Li Sikai felt a little guilty, but he didn't show it on his face. "That was a special case. We didn't feel comfortable letting others take care of you when you were unconscious. But now that you're better, we have to be careful about the separation between men and women."

"So, all you want to do is kick me out, right?" Yuan Ruoxi flopped onto the bed, gripping the edge with her hands and feet. "I'm not leaving!"

Li Sikai was about to vomit. After this incident, he realized that Yuan Ruoxi not only didn't learn her lesson, but had become even worse.

"No, you can't sleep here. If people find out, will we still be able to get married?"

"Then I'll be your wife!" Yuan Ruoxi said with a grin.

He already disapproved of Yuan Ruoxi's attitude today, and when he heard her say that, Li Sikai got up in anger, pointed at her nose and cursed: "Don't you have any conscience? Is Tao Jianian's current situation really not your fault? How can you dump him so easily? Don't you feel any remorse?"

You're lucky to have this space, and the guards have no choice but to protect you. But if you keep acting like this, how long can your good fortune last?

Yuan Ruoxi pursed her lips and said somewhat nonchalantly, "It's just his bad luck that he was smashed to pieces."

"If you hadn't seduced him, would he have stayed by your side like this? Even if you weren't responsible for his injury, shouldn't you, as his girlfriend, have taken care of him and comforted him out of humanitarian considerations?"

“But we’ve already broken up!” Yuan Ruoxi said dismissively.

"That was a one-sided breakup on your part! Just because he got into trouble while you were unharmed, you have to take good care of him until things are settled. Don't try to shift the burden to the guards; they're not there for you to clean up their messes!"

If you don't handle this matter properly today, don't expect the guards to be of much support to you in the future. You know, people are all human; who the hell wants to work with a scoundrel who only knows how to shirk responsibility?

Li Sikai's words carried a hint of intimidation. He didn't actually like Tao Jianian that much, but in the end, whether it was providing supplies or arranging jobs for the other party, the guard team would have to bear the loss.

Yuan Ruoxi, on the other hand, easily evaded punishment. If she found out, wouldn't she be furious? It's better to make things more serious so she knows that the space isn't a shield and should be more careful in the future. If you're going to cause trouble, you should be able to handle it.

"Then tell me, what should I do?" Yuan Ruoxi buried her head in the pillow and said in a muffled voice. In fact, she knew exactly what was going on, but she just didn't want to say it out loud.

"Go back to your tent and take care of Tao Jianian until he recovers or you two reach a consensus. At that time, whether you get married or break up, the guard will not interfere."

"You know perfectly well I won't be with him..."

Li Sikai interrupted, "Then you shouldn't have provoked them in the first place!"

"It's not because...no, if his leg hadn't been broken, there wouldn't have been anything wrong with me marrying him. But now, he's in that state, am I supposed to be burdened by him for the rest of my life?"

"In that case, you can forget about this mobile warehouse. Anyway, I have to take care of my husband and don't have time to do missions with you." Yuan Ruoxi's eyes darted around, and she started threatening like Li Sikai.

But Li Sikai wasn't buying it. He laughed and said, "Fine, without you, the guard team would just be carrying a few more supplies and going through a bit more trouble."

But you'd better think this through. So many people know about your spatial abilities. What will happen to you if you leave the protection of the guard?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ruoxi's previous confidence vanished completely. Her face turned deathly pale, and the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of others in her mind all turned into knives, stabbing towards her heart.

She regretted it; why hadn't she listened to the advice and been more cautious? But it was too late now, and she had no choice but to obey.

She was unwilling, but had no choice but to compromise. She glared at Li Sikai and his team members, got out of bed, and stormed back to her tent.

Half an hour later, the two team members returned, and Li Sikai asked them, "How did it go?"

"Hehe, after she went back, Tao Jianian made her do everything she could, feeding her water and food. She was furious but didn't dare to quit. That Tao guy is also cunning; knowing he couldn't get away with it, he's been making things difficult for her. She's probably not having an easy time these next few days," Sun Sainan said gloatingly.

"Alright, let them argue. Let's get some rest; we have a mission tomorrow."

"And what about her?" Geng Zhixing asked.

“Her?” Li Sikai raised an eyebrow. “If you want to go, go ahead; if you don’t want to go, stay and take care of the wounded.”

After saying that, they all chuckled.

The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, Li Sikai and several of his teammates went to help dig for supplies. As for Yuan Ruoxi, he had guessed correctly; she had been kept awake until the middle of the night by Tao Jianian and was still not awake.

Tao Jianian is truly a remarkable person. He clearly hates her to the core, yet he can pretend to be deeply affectionate on the surface. Moreover, every word he says is reasonable, leaving Yuan Ruoxi with no way to refute him and forcing her to compromise.

So, she was constantly being asked to urinate and bathe, leaving her no time to rest. After several hours of exhaustion, she still had no choice but to share a bed with him. However, their relationship was now completely estranged.

When Yuan Ruoxi woke up, Tao Jianian didn't let her off the hook. After making her massage him, he made her cook and insisted that there had to be meat in the dish because he was badly injured and needed to recover.

"Eat, eat, eat! Why didn't I smash you to death back then!" Yuan Ruoxi said angrily as she chopped ribs she had taken out of her spatial storage with a knife in the kitchen.
