As darkness fell and dinnertime approached.
Leng Ruxue felt as if she had been run over by a wheel after being tormented by Chu Nanfeng, and she didn't want to move a single finger.
She was curled up in the blanket, fast asleep. Chu Nanfeng tried calling her several times but couldn't wake her. Helpless, he pulled her into his arms, blanket and all, gently patting her delicate face and patiently coaxing her.
"Ah Xue?"
"Wake up, be good, eat something before you go back to sleep."
Leng Ruxue turned her head away from his touch, letting out a deep hum to show her resistance.
Chu Nanfeng let out a low chuckle, his eyes darkening. Suddenly, he reached under the covers, pinching her waist, his thin lips lightly brushing against her neck, which was covered in hickeys, his tone laced with threat:
"Ah Xue, if you don't wake up soon, I'll have to take drastic measures."
The hot breath on her neck made Leng Ruxue, who was huddled under the covers, tremble involuntarily, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
A hint of fear flickered in her eyes. When her gaze met Chu Nanfeng's wicked smile, her eyes suddenly welled with tears, and she let out a soft, nasal hum:
"I will never believe you again. I am in pain and exhausted, and I have no strength left. You won't even let me sleep."
Seeing the little girl's tired and resentful face, Chu Nanfeng couldn't help but feel a little heartache. He could tell that the little girl was really exhausted.
He quickly stroked her little head and coaxed her, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I didn't say you couldn't sleep. Eat something before you sleep."
His gaze swept over Leng Ruxue's delicate neck and the various marks he had left on her arms, and Chu Nanfeng's voice became slightly hoarse:
"Next time I won't move, I'll leave everything to Xue, okay?"
The moment she finished speaking, Leng Ruxue's face turned bright red, and she clenched her fists and punched Chu Nanfeng's firm chest.
"Get lost, you filthy scoundrel!"
Chu Nanfeng said this for a reason.
Chu Nanfeng was actually very considerate of her feelings. When she asked him to be gentle, he was indeed very gentle and restrained at first.
But the feeling was so gentle and lingering that she took the initiative and even provoked Chu Nanfeng a few times.
As a result, Chu Nanfeng immediately felt that he was being questioned, and no matter how much she begged for mercy, he refused to let her go.
With her cheeks flushed, Leng Ruxue reached out and hugged his broad, strong waist, gently rubbing her face against his chest twice, and whispered:
"We can't have any more tonight, and not tomorrow either, at the earliest the day after tomorrow."
Chu Nanfeng looked at her, his thick Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and he replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Leng Ruxue has a cheerful and generous personality. She is very open-minded in that area and knows how to flirt.
He felt that if it weren't for his exceptional physique, he probably wouldn't be able to keep goji berries in his thermos for more than a few years.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Chu Nanfeng led Leng Ruxue off the bed and headed towards the dining room.
On the way, they happened to run into Chu Liyue, who was also holding Xiao Wujie's hand.
Seeing Leng Ruxue's tired face and the marks half-concealed by her newly changed high-necked dress, Chu Liyue's face darkened.
I'm entrusting this little cabbage to you so you can take good care of it.
It's not for you to roam around like a pig or a dog all day.
Seeing Chu Liyue's eyes turn cold, as she was about to attack Chu Nanfeng, Leng Ruxue quickly stepped forward, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her skirt, her face flushed as she whispered in defense:
"Boss, don't be angry. I made a mistake today. It's not entirely his fault."
Chu Liyue's eyebrows instantly furrowed, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
I've raised you with such care for two and a half years, and you've already started betraying me after just a few days?
"Whatever you say."
With a cold snort, she immediately took Xiao Wujie's hand and walked forward.
Having raised a whole bunch of animals, it's worth it to have raised the little darling I've been holding onto.
Seeing Chu Liyue's displeasure, Xiao Wujie immediately quickened his pace, put his arm around Chu Liyue's, and walked side by side with her, seemingly wanting to wink.
"Don't be angry, sister. You still have me."
He strok his long neck slightly, his thin lips close to Chu Liyue's ear, teasing and begging for favor like a male concubine waiting to be favored:
"I'll take a nice bath tonight and let my sister tease me a bit more so she can calm down."
Chu Liyue lightly tapped his head with her knuckles, causing Xiao Wujie to groan in pain.
That little devil, whenever he's feeling a bit better, he's always trying to tease her.
The group entered the restaurant one after another, where Chu Yuntian, Chu Mingcheng, and Bai Jingxuan were already waiting for them at the spacious dining table.
Seeing Chu Nanfeng's radiant face, Chu Yuntian immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, it seems my young master is in a better mood."
"They'd even give me a kind look if they saw this wicked old man."
Chu Nanfeng could only force a smile and keep saying flattering things, which finally eased the old man's expression a little.
After the meal, Bai Jingxuan pulled Leng Ruxue aside and handed her a jade bracelet that had been passed down through the Chu family.
After her afternoon conversation with Chu Yuntian, Leng Ruxue took the initiative to express her feelings to Chu Nanfeng for the first time. Although she understood the value of the bracelet, she hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
Seeing this, Bai Jingxuan smiled broadly and personally put the bracelet on Leng Ruxue's fair wrist.
The clear, translucent, and vibrant green bracelet on Leng Ruxue's hand complemented her sweet temperament, creating a unique and charming effect.
Bai Jingxuan is a talkative person, and she found herself very compatible with the cheerful and lively Leng Ruxue.
As they chatted, something came up, and she suddenly leaned close to Leng Ruxue's ear and asked, somewhat awkwardly:
"Xiaoxue, this family is very accommodating to you in every way, except for one thing—"
As she spoke, she secretly pointed at Chu Liyue in the distance and whispered, "Liyue is very opinionated. We can't control her. If you want her to call you sister-in-law, you'll have to fight for it yourself."
Leng Ruxue followed the direction of her finger and looked at Chu Liyue. Even at home, Chu Liyue still exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers at bay. Just a glance from afar could make one feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Why would a boss like that call a girl with short, innocent legs and even a slightly loser vibe "sister-in-law"?
For the first time, Leng Ruxue felt her imagination was lacking; she simply couldn't conjure up such a beautiful scene in her mind.
Chu Liyue, who was sitting on the sofa with Xiao Wujie in her arms, noticed her gaze. Her brows twitched slightly, and she looked at her with a cold and imposing gaze.
Leng Ruxue trembled with fright, feeling inexplicably guilty as if she had been caught doing something wrong.
Just thinking about it gives her a chill that goes straight to the top of her head, let alone asking her to fight for it?
Let's just forget about it...
Her gaze trembled slightly as she glanced at Bai Jingxuan, who was holding her hand beside her, and forced a smile that was almost slurred:
"Um... Auntie, let's just forget about it."
"It's just a title, it's not important."
She'll consider getting Chu Liyue to call her "brother" once Chu Nanfeng manages to do so.
Although she didn't think that day would come.
Bai Jingxuan looked at her pale face, and then at her daughter whose aura was so overwhelming that she felt a headache coming on.
However, she couldn't help but mutter, "Actually, we should have shouted."
