She drew a circle on his chest with her index finger, her eyes slightly narrowed, her voice becoming increasingly seductive: "Since Brother Xiao is so heartless, why did you save my photo in your emails? What does that mean, hmm?"

Xiao Jinhan's eyes remained completely calm, but he clenched one of his hands behind his back.

"Brother Xiao, do you know that you have committed theft?"

Tang Yaoyao watched his every move, her eyes gazing into his gaze. She felt that his expression was very deep, like a pool of water, cold and clear, yet unfathomable, making him unfathomable.

Xiao Jinhan's sharp eyebrows twitched slightly before he slowly asked her, "Miss Tang, what crime did you commit by hiring a hacker to infiltrate my email without permission?"

ha?

This guy really knows how to stir up trouble.

"You stole my photos first."

Xiao Jinhan: "There are many secrets in the email, not only my entertainment industry businesses, but also other real estate. Ms. Tang, last month, the design drawings of a new amusement park under my real estate were stolen. This is a billion-dollar project. I need to identify the suspect now, and you seem to be the first one."

In an instant, Tang Yaoyao felt as if the devil was one foot ahead of the saint.

This man really put such a huge crime on her in a very serious manner.

Tang Yaoyao remained completely calm, smiling lazily: "I never expected that Fourth Master, who is usually so quiet, would actually be so eloquent. But why would a nobody like me, an actress in the entertainment industry, steal your design drawings?"

"Perhaps you didn't steal anything, but the hacker you hired might not have," Xiao Jinhan said in a cold, deep voice.

Tang Yaoyao: "..."

If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.

Tang Yaoyao was displeased: "Are you sure the design drafts disappeared after your email was hacked?"

"Um."

“He won’t do that,” Tang Yaoyao said.

Xiao Jinhan was silent for a few seconds, staring intently into her charming eyes, and asked, "Who is he to you that you would vouch for a project worth ten billion?"

"Naturally, it's someone I trust."

"oh?"

Tang Yaoyao thought that if it was indeed her who let the hacker hack into his email, making his password less secure than before, which led to the theft of the design drawings, then she would indeed bear half the responsibility for this matter.

She was never one to shirk responsibility, nor was she the kind of self-righteous hypocrite who would unwittingly create trouble for herself. After a moment's thought, she shed her wicked demeanor and said seriously, "I will help you find out about this."

"check?"

"Of course, if it really involves me, then I will find out who stole your design draft. If the investigation finds that I am not involved, then Fourth Master must apologize to me." Tang Yaoyao said lazily, as if she did not think it was a troublesome matter.

Xiao Jinhan: "No need."

"No need?" Tang Yaoyao asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"My affairs are none of anyone else's business," Xiao Jinhan said calmly.

Instead of being angry, Tang Yaoyao laughed: "Could it be that Fourth Master knows he's wronged me and is feeling uneasy?"

Xiao Jinhan's voice remained cold and emotionless: "Once I find out, I'll tell you whether Miss Tang should go back, or perhaps she'd like to spend the night at my place?"

When asked the final question, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if to be sarcastic, but to Tang Yaoyao it sounded like a tease.

He immediately smiled and said, "Great! Let me see how your hand is healing."

Xiao Jinhan: "..."

After getting into the car, Jiang Ci felt the tension had eased, and then dared to ask, "Miss Tang, where is your hotel? I'll take you back."

Xiao Jinhan answered for her in a deep voice, "Go to my room."

Jiang Ci: "...Yes."

This is truly more emotionally turbulent than fighting a war.

The atmosphere was so tense just now, but now they've made up?

Tang Yaoyao leaned lazily on the sofa, seemingly uncomfortable in the position, and then, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, she leaned on his shoulder.

Feeling his slightly stiff shoulder, Tang Yaoyao frowned: "I didn't tear your clothes or force myself on you, I just leaned on you. You're a man, you should learn to be a gentleman."

Xiao Jinhan: "..."

Jiang Ci: "..."

As Tang Yaoyao leaned against the wall, she suddenly remembered that when she asked Xiao Jinhan about the photos, he hadn't answered her question and instead revealed the serious matter of the stolen design drawings.

I don't know if he deliberately avoided it, or if he was blaming her because he was unhappy that she hacked his email.

In short, we still haven't gotten a clear answer about the photos.

Asking again now would seem too pretentious; I'll just have to find another opportunity.

Tang Yaoyao calmed down and felt the unique cool fragrance emanating from Xiao Jinhan. The scent of orchids and musk made her heart flutter. Such a man, yet he had such an abstinent and cold nature.

That's what made her want to conquer him and tear away all his aloofness.

However, he was like a thousand-year-old iceberg, never melting, and truly had no interest in her whatsoever.

The more this happened, the more irritable she became, constantly agonizing over her perceived decline in attractiveness, which was incredibly distressing for her.

However, these things can't be rushed.

Once she wins his heart, she'll bully him properly to get revenge for her grudge.

Ideally, she would then become indifferent, retaliating against his aloof and arrogant demeanor, leaving him heartbroken and unable to have her.

Tang Yaoyao smiled, thinking about Xiao Laosi's affectionate yet unrequited look, it was thrilling just to think about it.

It seems this illness needs to be treated as soon as possible.

All liking begins with possessiveness, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, Tang Yaoyao lazily asked, "Fourth Master Xiao, I really think I've found a way to cure your illness. Do you want to get better soon?"

Xiao Jinhan did not answer, his eyes unfathomable.

Tang Yaoyao couldn't see his face, but she couldn't help but smile.

He was a celibate nobleman who had long been accustomed to this life of being without desires and with a pure heart. Did she really expect him to answer with a "yes"?

"Although Fourth Master doesn't care about matters between men and women, he pursues perfection. Now that I've figured out a way to cure you, I must fulfill the promise I made to cure your illness. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to move into your house?"

Jiang Ci, standing in front, couldn't help but feel excited.

Fourth Master is saved!

He finally spoke: "Okay."

Her voice was as clear and beautiful as ever, like shattered jade. Especially now, after drinking some wine, she felt somewhat intoxicated.

In a daze, Tang Yaoyao murmured his name between sleep and wakefulness: "Xiao Laosi'er~"

"Um?"

Her voice was very soft: "If I can cure your illness, can you... promise me one thing?"

Xiao Jinhan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that her delicate eyebrows were furrowed and her eyes were slits open, making it impossible to see her expression. He could only sense that she had lost her usual charming and languid demeanor and gained a deep and gloomy look.

His Adam's apple bobbed: "What is it?"
