Chapter 12 Proximity to the Water
At midnight, Ruan Yi was still fast asleep.
The hazy moonlight shone through the bedroom window, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of a young girl, mixed with her heavy breathing that seemed to come from nowhere, making the room feel warm and cozy.
Her supple waist trembled frequently, as if she had been pitifully bullied in her dream.
In the dream, the beast let out a deep, muffled growl, not as a show of defiance, but rather as a tender, sticky, and satisfied sound.
The ravenous beast once again feasted on its delicious meal in the darkness, tirelessly craving more, even wanting to completely immerse itself in that gentle embrace.
Until the last vestiges of reason awaken the beast.
"Wait a little longer, wait for her, I'm willing to."
He stepped out of the room and disappeared into the dark corridor.
However, today's situation seems a little different.
After everything was completely quiet, a black silk robe suddenly appeared in the shadows around the corner.
A small shadow was reflected in the man's eyes, and his dark pupils seemed to churn with unfathomable vortexes.
The door was pushed in again, making only a barely audible sound.
The lens reflected a faint light under the moonlight.
The wide-open neckline of his bathrobe revealed his sculpted chest muscles, and with each step, the robe rippled, outlining his lean waistline.
This was the first time he had ever felt such hatred for the phrase "being in a privileged position."
"What he has, I want double, a hundred times more."
The glasses perched on his high nose bridge, wobbling slightly from his movements, until a thick layer of condensation crept onto them. He then pursed his moistened lips.
My dream tonight was so long.
It was the weekend, and Ruan Yi woke up very late today. She didn't feel comfortable at all when she got up, but she was like this before. Long sleep makes her tired.
But I'm really too tired today.
Ruan Yi rubbed her messy hair. "Hmm... I should get some traditional Chinese medicine to help with my restlessness and excessive dreaming sometime."
I quickly washed up and went downstairs. This time I remembered to comb my hair, since there was an unpleasant stranger in the house.
Ruan Yigang entered the living room and found it to be quite lively today.
The people in the living room also noticed Ruan Yi's appearance.
"Sister, the thief who stole from our house has been caught, and he actually..." Gu Zhi was interrupted by Ruan Yi before he could finish speaking.
"Call the police! Arrest this pervert and lock him up!"
Ruan Yi's inner demon makes its appearance, bursting into maniacal laughter—good news right after waking up!
That stinky Fu Jingchen has been caught, huh? Hehehe!
Once he's in jail, I'll use some underhanded tactics to make him spend the rest of his life in prison.
Ruan Yi was overjoyed, practically ready to celebrate by popping champagne as soon as she heard Fu Jingchen kneel down and beg for mercy.
The biggest villain in the novel, the protagonist, is solved now, easy peasy~
Unfortunately, in Meimei's fantasy, Ruan Yi didn't hear the man's pleas for mercy. Instead, she heard the soft, innocent sobs of a young girl, which completely stunned her.
"I...I really know I was wrong. I'll accept your reprimand or your compensation. Waaah...Please, Miss, don't call the police and have me arrested. I don't want to go to jail."
The maid knelt on the ground, crying her eyes out, which surprised Ruan Yi.
It really was the maid who stole it.
Is this the curse of opening champagne at halftime? Seeing a little girl who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old crying so miserably, Ruan Yi struggled with herself for a while and came to the conclusion that she had forgotten about her younger brother.
She's just lustful; she's lustful too. How can you condemn an entire lustful little girl with one blow?
Gu Zhi won't die if his underwear is stolen.
The double standard monster, Ruan Yi, completely disregarded what he had said earlier.
But if it turns out that Fu Jingchen was the one who stole the underwear, Ruan Yi is probably already prepared to execute him with a forty-meter-long sword at the Meridian Gate.
"Ah Zhi, just let it go!" the hypocrite of justice spoke up.
Gu Zhi: ? Who investigated?
"Sister, I..." Gu Zhi's words were interrupted again.
"Ah Zhi! Don't be so heartless. She's young. Let's leave it at that."

Gu Zhi looked at her with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Ruan Yi helped the young maid up. "Stealing is wrong! But since you're young and this is your first offense, we won't call the police. However, you can no longer work here. The housekeeper will pay you your wages up to today. You can't do this kind of thing again!"
People tend to become preachy as they get older, a sentiment deeply shared by Ruan Yi, a man in his twenties.
The maid was so grateful that she cried and kept bowing to express her thanks.
The matter ended there, and Ruan Yi pouted, regretting that Fu Jingchen wasn't involved.
The young maid rose shakily, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and before turning around, she glanced painfully at the man standing to the side.
Fu Jingchen also noticed the sudden gaze and frowned slightly.
Fu Jingchen: No... why are you looking at me?
The person was right in front of Ruan Yi; she wasn't blind. Ruan Yi hurriedly called out, "Wait!"
The maid hurriedly looked away.
"Don't go yet! Come with me." Ruan Yi hurriedly led the maid to another room and locked the door.
"Tell me the truth, did you really steal it yourself? Did someone instruct you? Don't be afraid, I will stand up for you." Ruan Yi's face was serious, expecting her to say something.
The maid trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me, I... I can't."
The absence of denial is tantamount to acceptance.
Ruan Yi wanted to ask more questions, but the maid in front of her was already sobbing.
Ruan Yi felt a little sorry for her. "Don't rush, take your time. But trust me, I can handle this. I will protect you, okay?"
The maid hesitated, still shaking her head and crying so hard she could hardly breathe, so Ruan Yi had no choice but to give up for the time being.
As soon as Ruan Yi and her maid stepped out, they were met with Fu Jingchen. She was so angry that she wanted to rush up and strangle the man.
The fact that she was so vicious as to use and threaten an innocent maid made Ruan Yi's indignant gaze all the more direct.
Fu Jingchen's temples throbbed with a bad feeling. He asked, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong?"
Neither of them paid any attention to her. Ruan Yi gently patted the maid's back to comfort her, ignoring and bypassing the large obstacle.
Once the maid has calmed down, she'll definitely investigate thoroughly and find out who that pervert is.
After lunch, Ruan Yicai pushed open the maid's door, his eyes wide open.
Because the room was completely empty.
At the airport, the girl looked at the last text message she had received on her phone screen with a puzzled expression.
"Who sent this anonymous text message? What's the point of lying to them like this?"
The girl was completely baffled, then suddenly slapped her forehead. "Why am I thinking so much? I've already got a million dollars, and I don't have to be a maid anymore! Who cares about them!"
My phone suddenly started vibrating frequently, and the screen displayed Ruan Yi's number.
"I'm a little reluctant to lie to the young lady... but I've already accepted the hush money, so here I come, Hawaii!"
The girl decisively blocked the number, turned on airplane mode on her phone, and like an excited little deer, skipped and hopped towards the boarding gate with her carry-on suitcase.
