Dressed in white, Ye Junfei lay half-reclined on her embroidered bed, propping his head up with one hand, watching her with great interest.
His dark hair was loose, his peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, and the red mole at the corner of his eye looked bewitching and evil.
His slender fingers hooked something, twirling it aimlessly around a thin ribbon.
When Lin Xiuyan's gaze fell on the thing in his fingers, her mind went blank for a moment, and her face instantly turned red.
That's her undergarment!
She rushed over to snatch the bodice, but he reached out and hooked her arm, causing her to lose her balance and fall into his arms.
The moment she was in his arms, his blood, which was about to run wild, instantly calmed down, and he felt much more comfortable.
He was now completely certain that she was indeed the special physique he was looking for.
Ye Junfei asked gently, "Are you throwing yourself at me like this because you feel I didn't satisfy you last night?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
If she weren't the person involved, she probably would have really believed that something had happened between them last night based on his words.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "How did you get in?"
Ye Junfei replied, "Of course, I walked in."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She realized she was still naive; how could he possibly let her go so easily!
But he doesn't need to wait for her in her bed!
He reached out and covered her face with the bodice: "Where's the Blood Jade Grass?"
Lin Xiuyan ripped off her bodice, took a deep breath, and said with a forced smile, "The Blood Jade Grass is in the City Lord's Mansion."
Ye Junfei's tone softened further: "Didn't you say the Blood Jade Grass was with you?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Young master, you've misremembered. I said I knew where the Blood Jade Grass was, not that I possessed it."
Ye Junfei reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "So you mean my memory is bad? Or that I remembered it wrong?"
Her fear of him from her past life had seeped into her very bones, and when his cool fingertips gently touched her face, she trembled involuntarily.
She shook her head frantically: "Of course not, I just didn't explain it clearly myself."
Ye Junfei was satisfied with her attitude and asked her, "Did you know me before?"
When they first met today, the way she looked at him was off.
He knew what he looked like; under normal circumstances, a woman would never look at him with that kind of gaze at first glance.
Although she tried her best to cover it up later, it still seemed strange.
And what she did today, which seemed both spoiled and dissolute, was different from the rumors; it revealed her intelligence in every way.
His intuition told him that she knew him before and knew his true identity, but he had no proof.
Lin Xiuyan, of course, would not admit it, and said very sincerely, "I have never seen you before, young master. Did you come to my house because you know me?"
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes scanned her expression and reaction without missing a single detail, but he couldn't discern anything amiss.
Could he have made a mistake?
He gave a cold laugh: "With your reputation in Chongqing, finding your home shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "Now that you know the whereabouts of the Jade Blood Grass, there's no need for you to waste your time on me."
She gestured for him to enter.
Ye Junfei remained unmoved: "Who told you that I would let you go if I knew the whereabouts of the Jade Blood Grass?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Ye Junfei tightened his grip on her face slightly: "Do you really think that taking off my clothes at night and pulling down my pants in public can be covered up with such an unverifiable piece of news?"
Having been reborn, Lin Xiuyan wants to kill Zhou Chenyang and Jiang Xinrou, but she has no desire to provoke Ye Junfei again.
She swore to the heavens: "If the Jade Blood Grass is not in the City Lord's Mansion, may I be struck down by the heavens and the earth, and be struck by lightning!"
Ye Junfei tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes full of amusement.
Lin Xiuyan felt uneasy under his gaze and had no choice but to ask, "What do you want in return for letting me go?"
Ye Junfei's eyes gleamed with even more amusement: "Why don't you strip naked in front of me and see what happens?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
If she could strip naked and completely sever ties with him, she would be willing to do so.
She recalled her interactions with Ye Junfei in her past life; he had an extreme aversion to women, and she thought she might be able to give it a shot.
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and reached out to untie her belt.
Ye Junfei propped his head up with one hand, staring at her without blinking, his interest undisguised, showing no intention of stopping her.
When Lin Xiuyan was down to her undergarments, she couldn't take it anymore and stopped.
Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow: "Continue!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Why are things not quite as she expected?
She couldn't take it off anymore!
She took a deep breath and asked him to confirm, "Will you leave after I take off all my clothes?"
Ye Junfei smiled tenderly: "Of course not, I was just giving you a suggestion to try."
"I suddenly realized that although you are ugly, you are quite pleasing to the eye when you take off your clothes, so I decided to stay and watch you take off your clothes every day."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
She wanted to strangle him!
She snorted coldly, picked up her clothes from the ground, and put them back on.
She knew he was someone she couldn't afford to mess with, otherwise she would have smashed his head in!
He seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and asked with a smile, "Do you want to hit me?"
Lin Xiuyan gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I wouldn't dare!"
Ye Junfei straightened up a bit, supporting himself on the bed: "It's not that I want to, but that I dare not. I really love the way you dare to be angry but dare not speak out."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Couldn't she have been reborn a day earlier? That way she wouldn't have met him, and they would never have crossed paths again in this lifetime!
She asked, somewhat frantically, "What exactly do you want?"
Ye Junfei looked at her tenderly: "It's nothing, I just came to ask you to take responsibility."
Lin Xiuyan asked, "What responsibility?"
Ye Junfei said seriously, "I'm not married yet and have never been with a woman. You've seen me naked, so of course you have to take responsibility for me."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
If she didn't know his identity, or his romantic escapades while he was a hostage in the capital, she probably would have believed it!
She said earnestly, "Young master, you are a man. Even if I look at you, you won't be at a disadvantage."
"Not to mention, it was so dark last night, I didn't see anything!"
Ye Junfei smiled: "Judging from your tone, it seems you regret not seeing clearly last night. Why don't you take off my clothes and take a good look?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She's about to cry!
She reasoned with him: "Young master, I have a fiancé, and I like him very much. There is no possibility between us!"
Ye Junfei nodded: "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I never said I wanted to marry you. I just asked you to take responsibility."
"You're not even married yet, and you already have a lover. Aren't you happy and excited?"
