I've been staying in the villa for so long I'm practically moldy, but nothing's happened.
As soon as I reached the top of the stairs, I was met with a burning gaze. Looking ahead, I saw Miss Benny.
Tsk tsk tsk, that pitiful little look in her eyes almost broke her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Huh? Who's talking?
"fine."
Ignoring the man behind him completely, Lake looked bewildered and innocently touched his nose.
Hmph, she has no interest in stallions.
The clingy Benny immediately changed her expression and fawned over Lake when he came downstairs.
"Sir, did you sleep well last night?"
A casual remark made them both look at her, then exchange glances.
Shen Shiyi said that people really do die from stupidity.
Lake gave Benny a meaningful look, then walked towards Shen Shiyi without saying a word.
Benny was immediately dumbfounded. What happened? Did she say something wrong?
Seeing the woman on the sofa shaking her head helplessly, he realized how foolish he had been.
Last night, my husband was having a romantic time with other women. How could it not be good? It's a wonder she was so stupid as to run up to him to "show concern".
Ahhh!
"laugh!"
Shen Shiyi slapped away Lake's outstretched hand and threw a cold knife at the man.
"After all this time, are you still playing this game of playing hard to get?"
Lake looked directly at Shen Shiyi with deep affection and a smile in his eyes. She only said that the scene was too hot to look at.
Well, Lake, who was ignored, continued his charm offensive without a care.
"Fine, I'll tell you why you don't like me."
Lake spread his hands, ready to launch into a long, rambling monologue.
Shen Shiyi continued to ignore it, while Lake turned on his mother-in-law.
"I am handsome, dashing, talented, rich, and powerful. Don't you like me for any of that?"
He expressed his helplessness, saying he had never met such a difficult woman.
"Dazzling and charming?"
The two stared at each other, and Lake wondered if he was wrong.
"...He is indeed quite the ladies' man, so I don't like the bus that everyone gets on..." He stood up with a dashing air and walked away from this bunch of slovenly people.
Benny, who had been ignored, listened in silence, her shock lingering for a long time.
The man, who was completely bewildered at that moment, only came to his senses after what seemed like an eternity.
Interesting, very interesting. The woman he's set his sights on is truly unique.
In W City, Ji Hua and his sister visit their mother's gravesite to pay their respects every so often.
Qin Ziming returned to the General Military Region to report for duty, while Ji Chen's health deteriorated.
Yan Yaru, who had been missing for a long time, returned from a trip abroad to relax. Ji Yunfeng was still immersed in the matter of Shen Shiyi's sacrifice and could not get out of it for a long time.
After that incident, Nangong Zixin was taken abroad by her mother to relax, and Li Xinye's family completely disappeared from high society.
Gu Niansi, Shen Zhifan, Su Fei, and others had already been discharged from the hospital and were recuperating at home.
Aunt He visited several times during this period. During this time, Qin's mother closed a big project, and Mr. Bie Lai also found out about Shen Shiyi through his hard work.
Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but a phone call shattered the tranquility.
"Okay, I understand... OK, then please, bro..."
As Shen Shiyi unintentionally passed by the study, she overheard some rustling sounds involving the words "project," "name," and "China," which immediately aroused her alertness.
However, we must not act rashly at the moment, lest we alert the enemy.
"ah!"
A scream woke everyone in the villa, and the lights inside were instantly turned on.
Shen Shiyi tried to get up from the ground in a disheveled state, the pain in her buttocks making her break out in a cold sweat.
Lake, disturbed, interrupted the conversation and went to the scene of the incident.
Isn't that her on the ground? How did she get there?
"What happened?"
Lake's impatient, icy voice came through.
The servants, fearing they would be implicated, immediately stepped forward.
"Sir, we don't know what happened either. We just saw Miss Shen like this when we came out."
The servants were all terrified, fearing that their master would blame them.
"Sir, I saw Miss Benny hurriedly preparing to go upstairs, but when she saw us arrive, she..."
If he still didn't understand even after being told so clearly, he wouldn't be the fearsome living Yama.
Hmph, a woman who dares to cause trouble right under his nose, and who is even interested in him, is practically kicking him while he's down.
"Guards, take Benny away. Don't give her any food or water for a week. Lock her in a dark room."
Benny struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the hands held by the two bodyguards in black.
Lake bent down and knelt down, gently and carefully examining Shen Shiyi's injuries.
"Sir, you can't do this to me. Benny served you. Please, for Benny's sake, spare her this time."
Benny probably never imagined that the day she would fall out of favor would come so quickly.
The servants around her bowed respectfully, and not one of them pleaded for Benny.
There were even people who gloated over his misfortune.
Why are you pretending to be pitiful now? Why didn't you do that earlier?
That seductive and filthy woman deserves it; she's reaping what she sowed.
Lake didn't even blink as Benny was mercilessly taken away.
Shen Shiyi was startled by his eager actions and tried to avoid Lake's inspection.
Shen Shiyi, who was still thinking about things, suddenly felt empty.
"ah!"
Good heavens, what is this man trying to do?
Lying in her own bed, she only realized what had happened when the doctor came in – that she had just been carried in a princess carry?
Holy crap!
I was taken advantage of for no reason.
...
"How about it?"
