Chapter 22 No Reward Next Time
"After three years of marriage, you still haven't made the female host pregnant. Isaac, are you not capable of that?"
Isaac suddenly looked up and stared at Tinar with a cold expression.
Their mother quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Isaac, your sister is still young, she was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart, but let's quickly resolve the current situation."
Tinar sneered indifferently. She had developed a habit of bullying this male orc brother who was two years older than her since she was a child. She felt in her heart that he would not dare to resist or hurt her.
Isaac lowered his head, his nails digging into his palms, and replied "yes" in a flat voice.
When Jiang Wangyue was about to return to his room after dinner, he stayed on the second floor for a while.
She hesitated for a moment, but still went to knock on Ji Li's door.
There was no sound in the room for a long time. Jiang Wangyue thought Ji Li had fallen asleep. When she turned to leave, the door opened.
Ji Li, covered in moisture, stood at the door with a slightly unstable breath. He looked like he had just taken a shower, with his black hair still dripping with water.
The height difference between the two people allowed Jiang Wangyue to see the water droplets rolling down her Adam's apple.
The water droplets flowed down the scar under the collarbone into the slightly open collar of the bathrobe, and finally disappeared in the shadow of the overlapping fabric, which made Jiang Wangyue's heart beat faster.
"The female protagonist?"
Ji Li's clear voice brought Jiang Wangyue back to her senses, and she coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"Well, nothing else. I just wanted to ask if you feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Ji Li shook his head and said, "The treatment cabin is very effective."
"Where's the spiritual sea?"
“Very stable.”
"That's good."
Jiang Wangyue took a step back and said with a smile, "Have a good rest. Good night."
Ji Li was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard, but then he came to his senses and spoke softly.
"Good night, mistress."
Jiang Wangyue's footsteps disappeared at the end of the stairs, and Ji Li slowly closed the door.
He leaned against the cold door, his expression extremely complicated.
After a long time, Ji Li raised his hand and touched the scar under his collarbone, and all his emotions subsided.
How could he be worthy of it...
In order to find out whether Tinar really had the photo of Yun Miao sent to her by the original owner, Lan Xue asked someone to check Tinar's terminal.
Thanks to Isaac, Tinar's terminal protection was almost leaking like a sieve, and Lan Xue's people broke in effortlessly.
There were indeed photos, but they were not the kind Jiang Wangyue thought.
Yun Miao, with his muscular upper body naked, knelt on the ground with his back to the camera, his back covered with mottled whip marks.
It’s the original owner’s fault again!
Jiang Wangyue gritted his teeth and looked up at Lan Xue.
"Have you deleted all the photos?"
“All have been deleted.”
Jiang Wangyue was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he remembered something and quickly grabbed Lan Xue's sleeve.
"What if she has a backup?"
Lan Xue smiled gently, "Don't worry, everything has been deleted, including the backup."
Only then did Jiang Wangyue finally feel relieved.
She tugged at the sleeve she was holding, and Lan Xue leaned closer, not knowing why.
Jiang Wangyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her ears turned red when she thought about what she was about to do.
"Come closer."
Lan Xue seemed to have guessed something, and a smile gradually spread from the bottom of her eyes.
He continued to bend down obediently, and when Jiang Wangyue kissed him, he held her shoulders and deepened the kiss with a hint of force.
Jiang Wangyue was caught off guard and her eyes widened, her breathing becoming disordered.
However, Lan Xue also knew the principle of stopping after a brief taste, and was even more afraid of angering her, so she quickly let go of her hand.
Jiang Wangyue glared at the innocent and docile guy, "No reward next time."
This time it was Lan Xue's pupils that trembled. He quickly knelt on one knee, put his hand on Jiang Wangyue's knee, and looked up at her pitifully.
"You can't do this..."
Jiang Wangyue reached out and rubbed the flesh on his cheek hard, smiling in a particularly evil way.
"You can't bully me!"
Jiang Wangyue rubbed Lan Xue's face until it turned white and rosy, then he nodded with satisfaction.
This was the scene that Feng Yan saw when he walked in from outside. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his pupils.
Jiang Wangyue quickly patted Lan Xue's shoulder and signaled him to stand up quickly.
Lan Xue didn't care at all. She slowly stood up and looked back at Feng Yan.
Putting his long trench coat on his arm, Feng Yan looked at the two people with a sneer on his face, "It seems that I came back at the wrong time. I'm sorry to bother you two."
Jiang Wangyue frowned. There was too much sarcasm and ridicule in Feng Yan's words. When had she offended this snake again?
Lan Xue pursed her lips, and a cold look suddenly appeared between her brows.
"You're quite self-aware."
"Of course I can't compare to you, Professor Lan, who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens." Feng Yan retorted without hesitation.
Bear humiliation?
who?
Lan Xue?
Jiang Wangyue was a little stunned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lan Xue's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the air pressure around her suddenly dropped.
Feng Yan raised his chin slightly, with contempt in his eyes, "Okay, I'm talking nonsense."
After saying that, he raised his leg and walked towards the stairs. When passing by Lan Xue, Feng Yan stopped.
He chuckled and lowered his voice and said, "Just fool others, don't fool yourself."
Without waiting for Lan Xue's response, he took a few steps up the stairs and disappeared around the corner.
Lan Xue turned around and looked at Jiang Wangyue, her expression more serious than she had ever seen before.
"I haven't lied to you since you woke up."
To be honest, Jiang Wangyue felt a little disappointed when Feng Yan said those words just now.
But Jiang Wangyue is good at coaxing herself. Moreover, she also knows that she does not have any special personal charm that would make Lan Xue fall in love with her so quickly after nearly a year of torment by the original owner.
If this is true, then she has to suspect that Lan Xue is suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
After coaxing herself into submission, Jiang Wangyue smiled and nodded when she heard Lan Xue's words, indicating that she believed him.
Lan Xue tightened her jaw and pursed her lips until they turned pale.
When she spoke again, Lan Xue's voice was a little trembling, "I really didn't..."
Jiang Wangyue grabbed his slightly cold hand, squeezed it slightly, and interrupted him.
"Be good, don't think about it anymore. Let's go see what to eat tonight. I can show off my cooking skills."
Jiang Wangyue quickly changed the subject, then stood up and dragged Lan Xue towards the kitchen.
Before Lan Xue could react, she was pulled and stumbled, and then she walked into the kitchen with a slightly unsteady movement.
On the second floor, in the room at the end of the corridor, Ji Li was looking at Feng Yan calmly.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Feng Yan took out an injection from the space button and placed it on the table. "This is a powerful inhibitor newly developed by the research institute. Do you want to try it?"
To Feng Yan's surprise, Ji Li directly refused.
