Lin Xiuyan took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Whatever makes you happy."
After she finished speaking, she angrily tried to leave, but Ye Junfei picked up a chess piece from the table and flicked it at her. She felt her legs go weak and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Ye Junfei slowly walked to her side and said, "Have you forgotten my conditions so quickly? Do I need to chop off one of your fingers to remind you?"
"No need!" Lin Xiuyan said with a mournful face, "I didn't mean to run away, I just wanted the kitchen to make you some snacks."
The main problem is that it wouldn't matter if she ran away. Given his almost perverted way of handling things, if she tried to escape, he could kill her entire family.
Ye Junfei reached out to help her up, then tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and said gently, "Next time you want to do something, tell me first, so I won't misunderstand you."
"After all, every time I misunderstand you, you're the one who suffers."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She didn't want to talk anymore.
Ye Junfei straightened her clothes again and said with a smile, "Your chef makes excellent mille-feuille. Tell him to make more."
Lin Xiuyan dejectedly instructed her maid to have the kitchen prepare some snacks.
After she finished explaining, Ye Junfei leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his hand, and said calmly, "Alright, we can start class now."
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised: "Class?"
“Yes.” Ye Junfei said unhurriedly, “Since your father asked me to teach you etiquette and he paid me, I will do it well.”
Lin Xiuyan felt a chill run down her spine when he said that, reminding her of the etiquette he taught her in her past life.
She quickly replied, "I know etiquette, so I don't need you to teach me."
Ye Junfei asked, "You can do it? Show me a few steps."
Lin Xiuyan forced herself to walk forward, but she hadn't taken more than two steps before he hit her several times with his chess pieces.
The chess piece hit my pressure point, and it hurt terribly!
Ye Junfei's tone was extremely cold: "With your ability to not even walk properly, how dare you claim to know etiquette?"
Although Lin Xiuyan had lived two lives and was quite perceptive in many things, she might have developed a rebellious attitude because he had dealt with her too harshly in this matter, and she just couldn't learn it no matter what.
She wanted to cry but had no tears!
She decided to shift her focus: "I'm just a businesswoman, there's no use in learning this stuff."
"You know what my father is thinking. I'll handle things with him. Let's figure out how to get the Blood Jade Grass first!"
After she finished speaking, she muttered under her breath, "You're much harder to please than my father. My father didn't find me a tutor; he clearly found me a father!"
Ye Junfei stared at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over, before he said, "You said I don't look like your teacher, but like your father..."
Lin Xiuyan was greatly embarrassed and immediately interrupted him, saying, "This proves that I was very prescient!"
"You are now my teacher, my master. Master, master, once a teacher, always a father! Aren't you my dad?"
Ye Junfei: "..."
She can manage to smooth things over like that; she's quite talented.
He smiled very gently: "That's true."
Lin Xiuyan felt extremely uneasy when she saw him smile like that, so she quickly avoided his gaze and became very cautious, afraid of provoking him.
She tried to distract him by talking about the Blood Jade Grass, and the afternoon was relatively peaceful; he didn't make things difficult for her.
She thought she had escaped a disaster, but as it turned out, she was too naive.
When she drew back the bed curtains to go to sleep that night, she saw him lying on her bed.
Lin Xiuyan was shocked and quickly pulled her clothes tighter, pointing at him and asking, "You...you really want to sleep with me?"
Ye Junfei nodded: "Yes, I took your father's money, so of course I have to seduce you properly. I also want to earn that thousand taels of gold."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She had spent the whole afternoon outwitting him and was exhausted; she really didn't have the energy to keep up with him.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then opened the cabinet next to her, dragged out the spare bedding, and planned to sleep on the floor.
Ye Junfei's clear and gentle voice came: "Get into bed."
Lin Xiuyan pretended not to hear and ignored him.
His voice became gentler: "If you don't come over by the time I count to three, I'll open the door and shout that you forced yourself on me."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
She knew he was a man of his word, so she dared not disobey and reluctantly put the bedding away again.
Over there, Ye Junfei was counting: "One..."
Lin Xiuyan had just tucked the bedding in when she heard him count to three.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Has he no shame?
The next moment she felt the room filled with cold light, and she felt a chill run through her body.
She didn't understand what had happened at first, and when she did, she found that her clothes had been torn to shreds.
The next moment, her tattered clothes slid off her body.
She clutched her clothes to her chest in terror, and a belt flew over and tied around her waist.
Ye Junfei tightened his grip on her belt slightly, and her body was involuntarily pulled to the edge of the bed.
She lost her balance and fell onto the bed. The quilt was pulled up and then pulled down again, covering her completely.
The next moment, a hand gripped her waist and pulled her in, and her body bumped into a solid body.
She was completely naked, while he was only wearing a thin nightgown.
They were so close that she could even feel his well-defined, streamlined muscles.
He carried a faint scent of pine and cypress, which filled her nostrils...
In that instant, Lin Xiuyan's mind went completely blank.
Ye Junfei originally just wanted to teach her a lesson so that she would behave better in the future and not try to play tricks on him.
But when his hand landed on her waist, the smooth, warm touch made his first instinct to push her away.
He also felt that if he really pushed her away, given her capricious nature, she would probably laugh at him, and he would never be able to control her in the future.
So he pulled her into his arms.
When their bodies pressed together, he smelled the fragrance of orchids on her body and experienced for the first time what it meant to be surrounded by a warm and soft body.
His body stiffened involuntarily, and his heart began to race uncontrollably.
He feigned composure and said, "Don't try to do anything against my will, otherwise..."
His slightly stiff hand gently stroked her back.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyan suddenly remembered the beauty whose head he had cut off with his sword in her previous life. She had finally been reborn, and she did not want to die!
She felt she must be crazy to have reacted that way.
In an instant, goosebumps broke out all over her body. She took a deep breath and said, "I won't do it again!"
She tried to ease the tension by saying, "You just said you were going to count to three, but you didn't count to two!"
Ye Junfei suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said expressionlessly, "I only said I would count to three, not that I had to count to two."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
