Chapter 14, any number of times is acceptable.

This year, Ruan Yi did the same, giving the gift she had prepared for Shen Xun to Gu Zhi in advance.

Gu Zhi accepted the gift prepared by Ruan Yi. It was an exquisite little gift box containing a high-end Richard Mille men's watch.

It cost Ruan Yi quite a bit of her allowance, because the gifts the Shen family gave her for her birthday were always ridiculously expensive.

Gu Zhi smiled and nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Okay, I'll deliver it to my sister."

"That disgusting idiot, does he even deserve it?"

The man turned and walked toward the gift registration desk.

Ruan Yi arrived at her happy hometown, the dessert table at the Shen family's birthday banquet, and all of them were her favorite flavors, each one of them was especially delicious!

Ruan Yi has designated Shen Xun's birthday as her annual day of indulgent desserts.

She could only enjoy her meal quietly for a short while before someone started to strike up a conversation with her. After all, the charm and family background of the Ruan family's daughter were undeniable, and many scions of prominent families around her were already eager to make their move.

With Gu Zhi not around, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and start a conversation with the man.

Ruan Yi is not bad at socializing; it's just a basic skill, and it all depends on whether she's willing to or not.

The man seemed to have made ample preparations; he behaved like a gentleman and spoke with humor, making Ruan Yi frequently cover her face and chuckle.

A hand with distinct knuckles pressed down on the man's shoulder, breaking the relaxed atmosphere. "My fiancée seems to really enjoy your humor."

The man froze completely, turned to meet Shen Xun's gaze, and slunk away in less than three seconds.

Shen Xun stared at the girl in front of him for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed her slender forearm and pulled her to the corner of the terrace.

Ruan Yi was suddenly pulled to a secluded corner, somewhat confused.

"Can you stop smiling at other people all the time!" Chen Xun's voice was somewhat suppressed, as if he was deliberately holding back something, and he tightened his grip slightly.

Ruan Yi felt a little pain, forcefully shook off his hand, and rubbed her wrist, which had been squeezed red.

"You won't even let people laugh? What's wrong with you?"

"Ruan Yi! You! You really think you're completely innocent?"

Chen Xun's eyes were already a little red, and he stared intently at the girl in front of him, wishing he could swallow her whole.

Ruan Yi felt even more confused.

"What did I do wrong? Just tell me, and I'll show you the details."

The man was trembling all over, the veins in his neck were bulging, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.

Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and his body abruptly calmed down. His tense back had relaxed, and he even looked somewhat dejected, as if all his strength had been drained away.

"I beg you..." As the broken syllables were squeezed out of his throat, his well-defined knuckles hung in the air, his previous anger turning into a humble plea, his voice tinged with sobs.

"Choose me, don't choose anyone else... I will fulfill your wishes."

"If we get married, I'll let you do whatever you want, every day... as many times as you want!"

"I can absolutely fulfill any wish you have."

How could Ruan Yi not understand what he meant? Her face flushed red, and she pressed her fair hands against the source of his nonsense, covering his mouth with both hands.

"Chen Xun! What are you saying! What are you talking about in broad daylight!" Ruan Yi was both anxious and embarrassed. If anyone heard her, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

The girl's sweet fragrance spread with the movement of her wrist until it completely enveloped him.

His dark eyes dimmed for a moment. He reached out and grabbed the girl's two slender wrists, pressing her palms even closer to his lips.

A moist touch suddenly came from her palm, the warmth tracing the lines of her hand, savoring its delicate softness. It slowly moved upwards, taking her fingertips into its mouth, and hot breath sprayed onto the girl's skin.

A tingling, numb sensation crept up Ruan Yi's scalp, sending goosebumps all over her body.

She forcefully pulled her hand back and slapped him across the face.

"You're sick! You're disgusting!"

Ruan Yi cursed angrily, but she held back when she slapped him. After all, they were still in the Shen family's house, and she couldn't afford to hurt the birthday boy's face.

A faint red mark appeared on the man's face from being slapped.

"Others can do it, but I can't?"

His tone held no anger; instead, his eyes were dark and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Where did this 'other person' come from! Nobody is as perverted as you!" Ruan Yi was so ashamed that she wiped the dampness from her palms onto her skirt.

Shen Xun shuddered violently, his cloudy eyes suddenly focused, and an extreme excitement suddenly surfaced in his dull eyes.

He gripped Ruan Yi's round, fair shoulders tightly.

"No one else treated you like this... only me?"

He should have realized it sooner: those people in the photos were just a pastime for Ruan Yi during her immature adolescence, a bunch of people who were played with and then discarded.

He's different; he's Ruan Yi's fiancé, her future husband, and the undisputed queen.

"Who's as sick as you!"

Ruan Yi glared at him angrily, finally wiping the saliva off her palms, and forcefully slapped his hand away.

The man's eyes seemed to explode with dazzling fireworks, a soft laugh escaped his throat, and he pulled Ruan Yi into his arms with a long reach.

Ruan Yi was suddenly pulled into a hug. She tried to push him away by pressing her hands against his chest, but he was as hard as a rock and incredibly strong.

Without warning, delicate kisses landed urgently on her soft cheeks, one after another, from her pink apple cheeks to her delicate earlobes.

"What are you doing!" Ruan Yi's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed. She struggled desperately, but the man's arms tightened around her even more.

The girl's softness was completely attached to him, and he finally felt this closeness that he had longed for, a distance that had appeared countless times in his dreams.

However, what he did in his dream was much more outrageous than what he does now.

"My wife... is even more fragrant and softer than in my dreams."

The man made no attempt to hide his reaction, pressing himself against Ruan Yi as if afraid she wouldn't feel it.

He gave Ruan Yi a deep kiss on the corner of her lips, his chin brushing intimately against her burning skin, his voice full of joy, "Fiancée, fiancée, my little fiancée."

Ruan Yi no longer cared about the discomfort caused by something poking her; her head was burning hot, and she used all her strength to pry open a tiny gap in his arm.

She pulled out her slender arm and, with all her might, slapped Shen Xun hard across the face.

His cheeks burned, and five crimson finger marks quickly swelled up on his pale skin, yet the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned upwards.

Ruan Yi's trembling fingertips were still suspended in mid-air, dumbfounded.

Shaking...masochism?

He held Ruan Yi's slender hands in his hands, his voice becoming sweet, "They're all red, did it hurt? Don't split your nails."

He took Ruan Yi's hand in his palm and gently massaged it. Seeing that her palm had turned red from the pressure, he lowered his head and blew on it very gently.

Shen Xun's eyes were red and his ears were burning, but his eyes were full of smiles, as if he had not been slapped, but had received a sweet reward.

Ruan Yi was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.

Good heavens... has she gone mad, or has this damned novel world gone mad?

No, it must be that Shen Xun went crazy because he couldn't have the one he loved!

So, unable to get what she wanted from her brother, she's resorting to disgusting him? Get lost!

Isn't there a bit too much of a prank on the villainous female supporting character? It's practically treating her like a Japanese person!

Moreover, did these things happen in a past life?

Ruan Yi tried hard to recall, but her head started to ache, and she felt dizzy.

She... seems unable to recall those things in detail.

Damn! Is this some kind of punishment from the world of novels?

Could it be that, as in many novels, the legendary system has discovered that she, the villainous female supporting character, has been reborn?

That shouldn't be the case. If they caught this unconventional individual who was trying to save the protagonist, shouldn't they just have her struck by lightning and killed?

Ruan Yi couldn't understand it; her memories were a jumbled mess.

Damn brain, did a zombie eat it?!

It was extremely difficult, and I could only recall some vague fragments of my past life...

What happened to her?
