Chapter 16 Intertwined
Ruan Yi got up very early today.
She misunderstood the old Chinese medicine doctor; the medicine he prescribed was really effective, and she slept incredibly well last night.
I didn't have any strange dreams, and I didn't feel any back pain or fatigue. It felt so good!
When she's in a good mood, Ruan Yi likes to dress up, so she curls her hair and carefully applies light makeup.
Ruan Yi was humming a little tune as she went downstairs, until the gaze that felt like a thorn in her back became too obvious. The burning gaze was like a sticky spider web covering her, as if it were staring a hole through her.
The intense discomfort of being stared at made her leisurely humming abruptly stop.
When she shot him a sharp look, Fu Jingchen looked as if she had just raised her eyes, but Gu Zhi was staring straight at her.
Okay, she's just being narcissistic.
If anyone's going to judge this pervert, it should be Gu Zhi. She was just tricked by Fu Jingchen twice.
She doesn't seem to mind her younger brother at all.
"Good morning, Xiaoyi." Fu Jingchen's eyes held a faint glint of dark blue.
"Good morning, sister, you look so beautiful." Gu Zhi's tone was warm; he was always a complimenter when it came to Ruan Yi.
But as the girl sat down, his gaze fell on the soft, white skin revealed by her neckline as she bent over, and his eyes held a sinister greed.
"I don't want my sister to go out...because someone will see her."
"Let's lock each other up, and forever only look at each other."
However, he was afraid that Ruan Yi would be sad.
"Thanks~ By the way, Ah Zhi, I take back what I said yesterday. The doctor Lin Han recommended is really amazing. I haven't slept so well in a long time."
Ruan Yi clearly only responded to Gu Zhi, and didn't even reply to Fu Jingchen with a "good morning".
However, it was clear that the girl was in a good mood; her voice was soft and cheerful, with a hint of coquettish tremor.
Someone's breathing became a little louder.
Traditional Chinese medicine doesn't work that quickly, so the two "heroes" who restored Ruan Yihao's sleep were understandably very happy.
After all, how persistent Ruan Yi was in their dreams was not something that could be talked about.
Besides, nobody likes having to get up early in the morning to wash their underwear.
"Sister is going to the equestrian club activity this afternoon, right? But I have class this afternoon, otherwise..." His voice trailed off with an unyielding sense of grievance, like a young animal abandoned by its owner.
Ruan Yi looked at her poor younger brother with heartache. Freshman year classes are so many, it's really tough.
"It's okay, it'll be easier in a couple more years." Ruan Yi rubbed her younger brother's head.
Gu Zhi knew Ruan Yi's thought process without even having to guess; he had never once understood the meaning behind Ruan Yi's words.
"I want to stay with my sister, okay?" It doesn't matter if the little idiot doesn't understand; he can just be direct.
Ruan Yi grabbed a small cream puff and stuffed it into his mouth, her fingertips brushing against his lips.
"No way! You have so many classes today, you're dead if you skip them. This is a third-year activity, do you really want to go horseback riding?" Ruan Yi fell into thought.
Gu Zhi licked the spot on his lips where her fingertips had touched, as if her sweetness still lingered, hoping she would agree to let him stay by her side that afternoon.
"Then let's build you a horse farm in the backyard and raise a few horses for you to ride." Ruan Yi thought it wouldn't hurt to spoil her younger brother a bit, even though she felt the place for raising horses would smell bad, as long as her brother liked it.
Gu Zhi stared intently at Ruan Yi's face. He really often wanted to bite her, but after all that, Ruan Yi only thought he wanted to ride a horse.
What he wanted to ride wasn't a horse.
"No need, sister, just pretend I didn't say anything..." Gu Zhi felt a little tired.
"Heh." The source of the laughter was a man quietly eating breakfast nearby.
Gu Zhi's temples throbbed, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and he maintained a standard smile. "Mr. Fu, be careful with your breakfast; it's easy to choke."
"You should worry about yourself first. When you were a groom, it was not uncommon for you to be kicked to death by a horse."
Fu Jingchen's lips curled into a nonchalant smile, his tone carrying a direct mockery.
An invisible tension suddenly filled the air, and the two men each suppressed the urge to punch the other to death.
On the equestrian field.
Ruan Yi wore a pure white, tight-fitting racing suit. Her long hair was tied up, making her exposed white neck even more eye-catching. The tight lines of the racing suit perfectly outlined her slender waist.
The light-colored riding breeches clung to her legs, outlining her alluring curves with every step.
She had been used to being seen wherever she went since she was a child, but someone's aggressive gaze made her want to slap him.
Even with just a little warm-up, Chen Xun's eyes were already glued to her. Once on horseback, he followed closely behind Ruan Yi, acting like a complete stalker.
Ever since that birthday party, Ruan Yi has felt weak in the knees whenever she faces this crazy "masochist".
When beating him became a reward, Ruan Yi had no way to deal with him anymore, and didn't even want to be his mortal enemy anymore.
But this pervert seemed to have a GPS installed on her. Whenever she drove out, the Shen family's car would follow behind her. Whenever she had class, he would appear by her side. He even "bumped into" her at the door when Ruan Yi came out of the fitting room after changing into her equestrian clothes.
It was terrifying; Shen Xun had evolved into a ghost, and Ruan Yi had been frightened several times.
It's practically surveillance now. What's going on in this dull-witted mind of his? Is he so afraid that the villainous female supporting character will do something bad?
But this pervert just followed her without saying a word; he was waiting for her to lose her temper and speak up first!
"Could you please stop following me?"
"No." He glanced down at his watch. Since that day, he hadn't had any physical contact with his fiancée for 52 hours, 13 minutes, and 14 seconds.
He's going crazy, no, he's already gone crazy.
After all, Shen Xun felt a twisted jealousy rising in his heart when he looked at the white horse that Ruan Yi was riding.
"I also want to be ridden by my wife."
"Why does this stinky horse have any advantages? Wife, ride me. It'll be very comfortable."
"Chen Xun... I don't have time to mess around with you." Ruan Yi felt a headache just looking at him. She hadn't come here just to ride horses; she had important business to attend to.
It was already the end of the next semester, and everyone was starting their internships early. Most of the young masters and ladies went to their own families' companies, but Ruan Yi didn't want to.
My mother spoils me rotten. If I go there, I'll not only get some experience but also enjoy all the comforts. Everyone will know me, and even if I go to the grassroots level, I'll be treated like royalty.
Ruan Yi needs to face reality. She doesn't want to be spoiled into an ignorant fool. She needs to be suppressed, but she also needs to choose an internship that will help her inherit the company in the future.
She had a good relationship with the president of the equestrian club, and the two intended to go together for an interview at a newly established group that had just moved back to China from overseas. They believed that they could truly learn something if they weren't bombarded with flattery.
"Why are you busy?" Chen Xun asked in a low, choked voice.
"Why? What are you going to do?"
"Where can we go if they won't let me come with them?"
"Is my wife trying to drive me to my death?"
"A wife and husband are meant to be intertwined forever; how can they be separated?"
For some reason, Ruan Yi had difficulty breathing, feeling as if she were being entangled and tightened by parasitic plants, even though the man in front of her had only asked one question.
Ruan Yi softened her voice, trying to persuade the stubborn pervert in front of her, but her tone still couldn't help but be somewhat sarcastic.
"Chen Xun~ I wanted to talk to the president about my internship. I want to find a company to gain experience; it's really important. You can go play somewhere else for now, okay?"
Her voice was already strained; she hoped this madman in front of her would let her off the hook.
"Why not intern at Shen's? You can still gain experience there, and no one will treat you differently."
Ruan Yi certainly wouldn't receive any special treatment. Shen Xun arranged for her to work in the president's private lounge connected to the office, so she wouldn't even have to see anyone else.
The lounge has a bed, a sofa, and a one-way floor-to-ceiling window that obscures the interior.
With his wife around, Mr. Shen has more energy to work and will work hard wherever he goes.
"Get lost." Ruan Yi wanted to hit someone again.
Only a fool would believe him; if he went there, he would definitely find every opportunity to retaliate and target her.
The two imagined completely different scenarios. Ruan Yi imagined a tragic workplace where an evil CEO attempted to abuse his subordinates.
Needless to say, the images in my mind right now are so vivid that even if you censor them ten times, they wouldn't be able to be played out.
