“You’re very pretty, but you’re not my type,” Xu Nian said, pursing her lips.
The man with the alluring demeanor was indeed very handsome; his beautiful face made her, a woman, feel ashamed of her own appearance.
His every word and action was pleasing to the ear; alluring yet not effeminate, beautiful yet retaining a masculine handsomeness—a contradictory yet exceptionally perfect combination.
"I'm not your type, so what kind of person do you prefer, guest?" The alluring man had already gotten off the bed as he spoke.
He moved with light, graceful steps, his clothes hanging on his body threatening to fall off at any moment.
Xu Nian noticed his approach and couldn't help but turn around. Seeing the man's current appearance, she reached out to stop him. "Stop, don't come any closer. Just say what you have to say here."
"Do the guests really dislike me that much?" The glamorous man looked at Xu Nian with a wronged expression.
The way he looked at her was like he was looking at a faithless man, making Xu Nian silently exclaim several times in her heart, "What a national treasure!"
Seeing that Xu Nian remained silent, the alluring man continued to entice her, looking at her with seductive eyes, his gaze full of charm.
Every movement, every glance, was meticulously designed and prepared, beautiful, charming, and alluring.
He's so good at it, but unfortunately he's not her type.
Xu Nian felt a pang of regret, then walked a few steps to the bedside, grabbed the blanket, and covered the alluring man with it.
"It's late and cold. You're dressed so lightly. Be careful not to catch a cold." Xu Nian's considerate behavior made the handsome man's expression freeze.
No, all his flirting was just a performance for the blind.
Not only did she not understand what he meant, she also thought he was prone to catching a cold because he was dressed too lightly.
He was so grateful to her!
The alluring man gritted his teeth, secretly resenting Xu Nian's lack of romantic understanding, while other feelings also rose in his heart.
He looked at Xu Nian with a complicated expression. The women who came to Yunxi Fang were all seeking pleasure, and this was the first time he had seen someone like her.
Despite being surrounded by beautiful women, he harbored no lewd thoughts.
Is she just pretending to be aloof, or does she really have no feelings for him?
He preferred to believe that Xu Nian was faking it, rather than believe that she had no feelings for him!
He was very confident in his charm. Countless people would spend a fortune just to see him, and there were countless women who wanted to marry him, but he didn't fancy any of them.
Thinking of this, Ye Lin felt even more unwilling.
He didn't believe that anyone could remain indifferent to him.
Just as Ye Lin was about to subtly continue to seduce Xu Nian, he was interrupted by a sudden question.
"Young master, what is your name?" Xu Nian pondered for a moment before asking.
"Guest, didn't you know me before you came to Yunxi Workshop?" Ye Lin narrowed his eyes and then carefully examined Xu Nian.
Her eyes were clear and pure, and her demeanor was immaculate.
She merely looked around the room, which exuded decadence, with strange gasps of amazement occasionally crossing her face.
The more Ye Lin looked, the deeper his gaze became.
He disliked the cleanliness of her clothes, as it made him feel dirty and gave him an urge to defile her.
A person as pure as her, with desire tinged in her eyes, must be incredibly alluring.
Ye Lin discovered that once some ideas take root, they grow uncontrollably.
He swallowed hard, his face remaining calm, but his thoughts were racing like wild horses.
At that moment, Ye Lin was certain that he wanted to possess her, imprison her, and make her his one and only wife.
However, since Young Master Ye of Yunxifang is of lowly status, he would need to use another identity to win her over.
With a plan in mind, Ye Lin wrapped himself in the blanket, put away his seductive manner, and began to chat with Xu Nian about family matters with a smile.
To gain someone's trust, the first step is to make them lower their guard.
Seeing that Ye Lin was normal, and even looked somewhat obedient under the covers, Xu Nian felt a pang of sympathy for him, thinking that he was also acting against his will.
Therefore, when Ye Lin asked her, she casually gave him her name. "My name is Xu Nian."
"Niannian, can I call you Niannian?" Ye Lin's eyes sparkled as he murmured Xu Nian's name, like a child who had just received a beloved toy.
"It's just a form of address, do as you please." Xu Nian didn't notice Ye Lin's change, and naturally didn't know that the way he looked at her had changed.
The look of absolute certainty in his eyes was hardly the expression one would give to a patron.
"Niannian, my name is Ye Lin. I'm known as Young Master Ye at Yunxi Workshop. You must remember that!" Ye Lin said with a smile to Xu Nian.
If she can't remember his name, he'll punish her.
"Ye Lin, I've remembered." Xu Nian seemed to be observing the layout of the room, but in fact she was quietly absorbing the original owner's memories.
Knowing that this was the original owner's first time visiting a brothel, she finally felt relieved.
It's good that the original owner wasn't a wicked playboy, otherwise she's afraid she won't be able to play the role.
After absorbing the original owner's memories, Xu Nian fell silent.
The original owner was forcibly dragged to Ye Lin's room by the people in Yunxi Workshop, and the person who brought her in did not leave but was still guarding the door.
She thought the original owner of this body had paid money to get here, but she never expected that she had been forcibly sent here.
Are the people at Yunxifang blind?
Did the original owner of this body look wealthy?
Although the clothes on his body were made of silk, they had all faded from washing.
Did they send her to Ye Lin's room to extort money or set a trap?
Xu Nian looked at Ye Lin with complicated emotions. As an important part of this extortion plan, he, the "insider," really knew how to act.
If a woman who is easily swayed by beauty had been fooled by Ye Lin's hesitant and timid manner just now, she might have actually fallen for his tricks.
"Niannian, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" Ye Lin's hands under the blanket began to clench. Had she discovered his filthy thoughts?
"Ye Lin, I was dragged here by my classmates today. The most valuable thing I have is this jade hairpin that I use to tie my hair."
"I'm short of money and come from a poor family. If you're asking for money, you've come to the wrong person." Xu Nian's face showed both embarrassment and composure.
The original owner's classmate will likely come looking for her after discovering she's missing.
"Did Niannian think I was working with Yunxifang to swindle you out of your money?" Ye Lin's expression was strange. The heaviness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an eerie and unfathomable darkness.
"Isn't that right?" Xu Nian couldn't think of anything about herself that would make people bother to scheme against her, except for money.
"Niannian, can't it be that I'm attracted to you and want to throw myself at you?" Ye Lin said with a low laugh as he looked at Xu Nian.
“Impossible. I don’t think there’s anything about me that could attract your attention,” Xu Nian retorted immediately.
She wasn't making this up. The original owner of this body had a fair and spirited appearance, and she wasn't even as tall as Ye Lin's shoulder. Her fair and short appearance didn't meet the standards that men in this world had for choosing a wife.
Ye Lin would only be interested in her if she had some kind of protagonist's halo that made him lose his mind.
