He turned on the TV temporarily after hearing Xu Moran's footsteps on the stairs, just to create the illusion for Xu Moran that he had been watching TV the whole time.
Unexpectedly, a random press of the remote control led to a pay channel, which was not only a restricted channel that showed adult films.
Just moments before Xu Moran rushed forward to close the door, the image that appeared on the television screen was of a man dripping wax onto a woman.
Without even looking at it, he directly replied to Xu Moran that it was his favorite to watch, which was really... even he himself was disgusted by his own heavy taste.
Having spent years navigating intrigue and gunfire, Xiao Anhe had long since ingrained caution in his very being, making it a part of his daily life. Yet, in front of Xu Moran, he could easily drop all his guard.
This unprecedented ease comes not only from the body, but also from the heart.
"Ranran." He quickly admitted his mistake, his attitude was very good, "I was wrong, I will try my best not to watch those programs in the future."
Xu Moran wasn't really angry at first. After all, you could tell how old Xu Ye was from his appearance. He was in the prime of his life, so it was normal for him to watch those kinds of movies.
It's human nature not to get angry, but as he apologized and tried to "control" his anger, I actually became a little angry.
"How about this, since you have that kind of need," she said, her tone clearly angry, "I'll help you register on a dating website?"
As soon as Xu Moran said this, a man who was sitting on the sofa suddenly jumped up, ran to Xu Moran's side, grabbed her arm and shook it back and forth.
Xiao Anhe controlled the swaying perfectly, both in terms of amplitude and force. Xu Moran turned her head to look at the man beside her, and the face that came into view was so pleasing to the eye that even the greatest anger vanished.
"Why are you grabbing my arm?" She kept her anger inside, but pretended to be very angry on the surface.
Xiao Anhe blinked, her long, delicate eyelashes moving rhythmically, casting a beautiful semi-circular reflection below her eyelids. "Ranran, I was wrong. I won't watch those shows anymore."
Xu Moran asked him with some skepticism, "Can you really do it?"
Xiao Anhe nodded vigorously, "Really."
If Xiao Anhe's subordinates saw how obedient he was to Xu Moran, they would be utterly astonished, wondering if they had misheard, or even questioning their own existence.
How could their wise and powerful, decisive and intelligent elder brother listen to a woman so much, especially one whose appearance is far from that of a femme fatale?
Currently scattered across many places and in a state of dormancy, they are unaware that Xiao Anhe has begun to dote on Xu Moran, and naturally, they haven't started to speculate about why their eldest brother would dote on a woman in a way that defies common sense.
When they saw Xiao Anhe's doting affection for Xu Moran and his obedience to her every word, they began to speculate about the reasons. The most widespread and credible rumor was as follows.
It is said that when Xiao Anhe was framed and fell into trouble, it was Xu Moran who saved him. Xu Moran coveted Xiao Anhe's good looks and took many photos of him when he wasn't paying attention. These photos included him changing clothes, taking a bath, and using the toilet...
With these photos as leverage, Xiao Anhe had no choice but to obey Xu Moran's every word.
In fact, some people have questioned this so-called most authentic and reliable rumor. It is believable that someone could successfully threaten another person with photos; but to say that Xiao Anhe could be threatened by a few photos is simply a fantasy.
As for the person who spread that rumor, he had his own thoughts. He felt that the reason why Xiao Anhe doted on Xu Moran so much was most likely because Xu Moran was his first woman, and the first time they were harmonious in every way, so he doted on her so much.
These speculations from his subordinates eventually reached the ears of Young Master Pei Hang. His reaction was simply, "Nonsense!"
Some of the bolder underlings went to ask Pei Hang what the real reason was for Xiao Anhe's unconditional doting on Xu Moran.
Pei Hang looked up at the sky, and after a long pause, said only five words, "I don't know either."
The younger brother almost vomited blood. After all that, he still didn't know. Since he didn't know either, why deny their guesses?
Regardless of the various speculations and rumors, and whether or not they reached Xiao Anhe's ears, his affection for Xu Moran remained unchanged, and even became more and more excessive.
To put it another way, if one day Xu Moran suddenly had the idea to climb up and pick the stars from the sky, Xiao Anhe would not only search the world for a ladder that tall, but he would also personally hold the ladder so that Xu Moran could go up to pick the stars from the sky.
His journey of spoiling his wife hadn't officially begun yet, but compared to a few days ago, he was already making progress. After nodding and promising not to watch mixed-gender adult films anymore, he casually made a new request, "Ranran, can I make a small request?"
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, especially since he was so sincere in admitting his mistake. Xu Moran nodded, "Go ahead, what do you want?"
"Can you pretend to be my girlfriend when we're out?" As if afraid Xu Moran would refuse, he looked down at his feet after saying this, pretending not to dare to look at Xu Moran.
Xu Moran never expected him to make such a request—to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Suddenly she thought of her team leader, Sun Xingchao, and then of Dr. Pei who brought her seafood. Didn't they also think that Xu Ye was her boyfriend?
She felt it was necessary, so she didn't explain.
During the brief moment Xu Mo remained silent, Xu Ye let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid of running into someone like that rich woman from earlier today again. I feel so vulnerable being single."
Indeed, Xu Moran agreed with Xu Ye's statement. These days, lust for beauty is not limited to men for women; it can also happen to women for men.
"In the future"
