Chen Yan is like a venomous snake; the moment he saw Xu Ruyi, he coiled around her tightly and refused to let go.
Chapter 0047 Ignoring
During lunch, upon learning that Chen Yan would be staying at the villa for three days, Ruyi's expression instantly changed. If Chen Yan wasn't there, she could still convince herself that this was her territory. But with Chen Yan around, Zhou Sao and her bodyguards were completely subservient to him. If her needs conflicted with his, she could only settle for second best, constantly reminding herself of the fact that she had become a caged bird in someone else's hands.
Even if he gave her Tiger Girl, it doesn't mean he's that good to her. If it weren't for him, she could raise a whole litter of them without having to worry about this or that because she's pregnant.
Ruyi's expression clearly showed her displeasure, but she was also helpless. She finished her meal in a huff, went upstairs in silence, closed the door, stared blankly out the window for a while, then lay down on the bed, turned to her side, and idly flipped through an American science fiction novel she had taken from the study.
After becoming pregnant, I often feel sleepy after lunch, and even the most exciting story can't stop my eyelids from getting heavy.
The book slipped from her hands, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Just as she was transitioning between light and deep sleep, she vaguely felt a hot chest pressing against her back. She was suddenly awakened and, sure enough, saw Chen Yan shamelessly lying on her bed.
She wanted to yell at him, but felt it was pointless and might even excite him more. With a sullen face, Ruyi got out of bed without saying a word, left the room, and deliberately slammed the door shut as if to express her anger.
Chen Yan stretched out his limbs, staring at the ceiling with a helpless, bitter smile. Tiger Girl's strategy of trying to please him only had a slight effect in the study. Most of the time, she still saw him as an enemy, and she knew him very well, knowing to deal with him by ignoring him passively. This made him feel worse than if she had scolded him.
Ruyi went to the guest room furthest from the master bedroom. This time, she made sure to lock the door from the inside, then drew the curtains and went to sleep peacefully in the cool, dim environment.
She slept very soundly. When she woke up, the room was as dark as ink, with almost no light. She turned on the bedside lamp and saw that the silent alarm clock on the table showed 5:30 pm.
As she gradually regained consciousness, she was amazed at how much she had slept that day, while her stomach began to rumble with hunger.
Then she realized something was wrong; there was a hand wrapped around her waist...
"That treacherous villain!" Just as Ruyi was about to lash out, her brewing anger was like ammunition that had gone damp and failed to fire just before it was about to be released.
Yes, this person has keys to all the rooms in the villa, so he can easily stick to her whenever she's asleep, like an unbreakable plaster. If he's shameless enough, he could even break into the bathroom while she's showering. Compared to that, his persistent pursuit of sleeping with her isn't so unacceptable.
Chen Yan slowly woke up as well. Because she was next to her, she slept very soundly. She ignored Ruyi's silent reproach and smiled gently at her: "Awake? Are you hungry? Aunt Zhou should have dinner ready."
Ruyi silently looked away, letting him do whatever he wanted; she was determined to ignore him anyway.
She was a woman of her word. When dining with Chen Yan, she deliberately refused to eat the food he offered and wouldn't engage in his conversations, relying entirely on Aunt Zhou to smooth things over; while sitting on the sofa playing with Hu Niu using a cat toy, she immediately picked up Hu Niu and walked away when he tried to come closer, as if he were some kind of powerful virus…
One day, while strolling in the garden after dinner, she saw the roses in full bloom and couldn't resist leaning over to smell them. The fragrance was intoxicating and briefly made her forget her worries. She couldn't help but smile slightly. However, she saw Chen Yan standing in front of the second-floor window like a peeping tom. She immediately stood up expressionlessly and turned her back to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan would call Aunt Zhou or the bodyguard every day to inquire about her situation. Sometimes he wanted to talk to her, but she would usually make excuses to avoid it. She rarely responded, and when she took the phone, she would just listen, at most saying "uh-huh" or "yeah," and was reluctant to say a single word more.
Chen Yan knew that Ruyi was stubborn and wouldn't let go of her resentment unless he divorced her. He had gotten used to the abuse and stopped trying to force anything. But every time he saw her chatting happily with Aunt Zhou, asking about her child's age, where he went to school, talking about her hometown, local attractions and food, and exchanging their thoughts on a movie... he couldn't help but feel jealous. With nowhere to vent his frustration, he could only ask Aunt Zhou to secretly record their conversations and send them to him so he could listen to them in his spare time, essentially letting Ruyi tell him what she was saying.
The president of Renxin Group, one of its largest shareholders, is so humble in his relationship—who would believe it? Chen Yan doesn't know how much longer he has to live like this; he can only hope that the people in Jingzhou will act quickly and create the conditions for divorce as soon as possible.
In the first year of his marriage to Zhao Nanyue, to keep it a secret from Ruyi, he would cooperate with various arrangements, actively seeking out dates with Zhao Nanyue, watching her competitions, and playing the role of a loving couple in social settings. However, once Ruyi found out, the facade of harmony was shattered, and the two had a falling out. He let her find other men as she pleased; after all, the couple had their own lives after marriage, and it was not uncommon for them to do so. Finding other men was even better, as it would keep her from bothering him.
The Zhao family noticed his poor attitude towards their daughter. On the one hand, they were pleased with Chen Yan's decisiveness and fawned over their son-in-law. On the other hand, they were wary of the Chen family's growing power under his leadership and secretly became suspicious of Chen Yan's people. This made Chen Yan's men in Jingzhou more cautious, keeping a close watch on everything around them, walking on a tightrope, and constantly on edge, knowing that a single misstep could lead to failure.
The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety. The further you go, the more crucial it becomes. Not only do you need to have enough leverage, but you also need to accurately predict the timing and strike decisively, leaving the opponent with no chance to retaliate.
The pressure from all sides was like a mountain pressing down on him, keeping Chen Yan awake at night. Only at the sanatorium could he find a moment to breathe. Even though she often ignored him, when he held her soft and delicate body in his arms, placed his hand on her increasingly protruding belly, and felt her breathing rise and fall with her gentle breaths, he could almost feel life taking deep root and growing strong inside her. An indescribable emotion rose in his heart. Life was so miraculous, and women, because they could give birth to life, became even greater beings than men.
As for men, the vast majority of them are unable to control their sexual desires, hardly better than livestock. Chen Yan is slightly better; he only has sexual desire for one woman, and it doesn't lessen even when she's pregnant.
He had a lot of photos of Ruyi on his phone, mostly everyday pictures, but there were also a few more private ones. He would also casually take Ruyi's old dresses from the villa, using them to relieve his daily tension. Countless times, while she was asleep, he would gently stroke her round belly, inhale the unique fragrance of her hair, then loosen his belt, suppressing his panting. In his extreme arousal, even his eyes would turn red.
Ruyi would occasionally be woken up and caught red-handed in this lewd scene. Anger would flash in her eyes, but she would quickly fall silent and turn away speechlessly to continue sleeping.
Let him do whatever he wants to her, just don't bother her.
This continued until Ruyi was 26 weeks pregnant. After overcoming the initial morning sickness, her body adapted to the presence of the fetus and gradually stabilized. Because she cooperated with her meals and checkups, maintained a balanced diet, had a good constitution, and deliberately avoided getting caught up in feelings of resentment, she kept a cheerful mood. As a result, her skin became increasingly radiant and beautiful. Standing in the sunlight, she had a soft glow about her, and her beauty seemed otherworldly.
That day, Chen Yan came again and held her while she slept. Ruyi fell asleep quickly, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time because he felt hot all over.
After a moment of patience, he got up like a thief, originally intending only to peek through the loose neckline of his pajamas to satisfy his craving, but once he started looking, his gaze was glued to him and he couldn't look away.
Because of her pregnancy, Ruyi's breasts had grown larger than before, and her side-lying position made her snow-white, rounded breasts even fuller, like a delicate white dessert, tempting one to taste.
He hadn't touched this place in a very long time, and at this moment, the surging impulse could no longer be suppressed. He breathed heavily as he unbuttoned a few buttons, carefully pushed open his bra, revealing a pair of snow-white, full breasts. He immediately pounced on them like a starving beggar, disregarding his dignity, his tongue pressing against the red tassels and licking them repeatedly, alternating between left and right. There was also a faint, sweet milky fragrance that intoxicated him.

Cheng Jue: I believe you.
Uncle Zhang: I believe it too.
Hao Jing: I'll believe it halfway. Who told him to send someone to threaten me? (Rolls eyes)
