Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "Young Master, your excuse is quite similar to my dream."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I'm telling the truth."
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't lie either."
After they finished speaking, they both turned to look at each other and laughed.
For some reason, after Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, her fear of Ye Junfei was not as intense as before.
Ye Junfei said slowly, "Lin Xiuyan, do you think you have a crush on me, which is why you dream about me all the time?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She turned her head away from him; she truly hadn't expected him to react this way after hearing about her past life!
Ye Junfei chuckled lightly: "Using something that never happened to convict me, Lin Xiuyan, you're really being unreasonable!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out and gently pinched her nose. She slapped his hand away and said, "Don't touch me!"
Ye Junfei simply stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his embrace, saying, "I've used both my hands and feet, what can you do to me?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She was furious and bit his arm.
Ye Junfei wasn't angry. He watched her bite and said calmly, "Have you bitten me like this in your dreams too?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded, and Ye Junfei laughed: "Then it seems that we were very close in the dream. After all, you bit me but I didn't kill you. It's probably because I liked you in the dream too."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She wanted to refute it, but found that she had no way to refute it.
During the time she was abducted and taken to his side, she witnessed his cruelty and was tortured by him in various ways, yet she also slept with him every night.
She asked him, "You said you wouldn't hurt me, but is that really true?"
Ye Junfei replied, "Of course it's true."
Lin Xiuyan's eyes darted around: "So, no matter what I do, you won't hurt me?"
Ye Junfei had a bad feeling, but he still nodded: "Yes."
Lin Xiuyan sat up abruptly and looked at him seriously: "But I don't believe you unless you sign a written agreement."
Ye Junfei: "..."
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xiuyan received the written agreement personally prepared by Ye Junfei.
The written agreement was very simple, stating only that Ye Junfei would never use his finger on her without reason, nor would he harm her family.
Lin Xiuyan looked at the elegant yet powerful characters on the paper, and her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents with joy.
She understood Ye Junfei; although he was unpredictable, he believed in what was written in black and white.
With this piece of paper, her life should be saved for the rest of her life.
She carefully placed the paper down and then reached out and slapped him on the bottom.
Ye Junfei: "..."
She has such audacity!
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Lin Xiuyan quickly shoved the paper in front of him.
She stared at him with wide eyes and said, "You promised that no matter what I do, you won't get angry, and you won't use a single finger on me!"
Ye Junfei: "..."
He inexplicably felt that he had been tricked by her.
He was so angry he laughed. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to her: "You take this paper out every day, it'll wear out too quickly. Use this to replace it from now on."
Lin Xiuyan was startled when she saw the jade pendant.
The reason was simple: she knew this jade pendant was extremely important, a symbol of his status as the heir apparent.
She cleared her throat and said, "No need for the jade pendant, I'll go and carve a master copy of this paper..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Junfei had already hung the jade pendant around her neck, then pressed one hand against the back of her head and kissed her.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
This time he only took a brief kiss; after finishing, he calmly lay down.
Seeing Lin Xiuyan looking at him, he explained in a very good mood, "I meant I wouldn't put a finger on you, not that I wouldn't kiss you."
Why are you looking at me so surprised? Could it be...?
He turned to look at her, his peach blossom eyes curving slightly: "Are you waiting for me to kiss you?"
Lin Xiuyan immediately turned around, pulled the blanket over her head, and covered her head completely.
Ye Junfei couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Xiuyan was speechless when she heard his laughter, but she also vaguely felt that he wasn't so scary after all.
The events of their past life had not yet occurred, and he had never harmed her.
The absence of a sword and a spear was different from what she remembered. Did that mean that Ye Junfei was also different from what she remembered?
perhaps……
Perhaps they can try a different way of getting along.
The next morning, Lin Xiuyan was stunned when she saw all the crossbows installed.
Could they have been pretending all night? (Biquge)
Wu Dao and Wu Ge, both sporting large dark circles under their eyes, looked at her and said, "Miss Lin, all the crossbows have been installed. Please check!"
Lin Xiuyan quickly replied, "No need for the check, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Dao hurriedly replied, "It's no trouble at all."
Wu Ge said, "If Miss Ruolin is satisfied with what we have done, please put in a good word for us with the young master and ask him to punish us less often."
Wu Dao immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Lin Xiuyan had never seen such a sycophantic Wu Ge and such a foolish Wu Dao.
She genuinely didn't think her words would have any effect on Ye Junfei, so she just gave an awkward smile.
Ye Junfei's voice came: "Once you've finished your work, get out of here."
Wu Dao and Wu Ge immediately opened the window and jumped out.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She felt a sense of unreality.
Ye Junfei said to her, "Check how well they installed it. If it's not up to standard, I'll punish them."
Lin Xiuyan inexplicably felt that Wu Dao and Wu Ge were quite pitiful to have Ye Junfei as their master.
Wu Dao and Wu Ge were quite talented at installation; all of these crossbows were installed perfectly.
With the crossbows installed, she needed to begin training the servants.
After the Jiang Xinrou incident, all the problematic servants in the Lin family have been purged, and those remaining are loyal to the Lin family.
Although that incident purged many people, it also exposed many problems.
The Lin family is too lax in disciplining its servants, and now the number of people they can use has decreased by more than half.
Last time, Zhou Chenyang brought fewer people, so they were able to handle it.
If Zhou Chenyang brings too many people, they won't have enough.
So Lin Xiuyan wanted to buy some more people, but Zhou Chenyang would make his move soon, and it would be too late to buy more people for training.
Therefore, she could only train all the servants in the Lin family first.
Lin Yunzhi, a doting father, naturally had no objection to her idea.
Although Qu Shuangyue felt that Lin Xiuyan was making a mountain out of a molehill, Lin Yunzhi advised her, "It's better to let her cause trouble in the mansion than to let her go out and fight with people."
“If she goes out and injures someone, we’ll have to pay compensation. If we stay home and train servants, we might as well hire a doctor and pay some medical expenses.”
"You can easily figure out which is more cost-effective by doing the math."
