Xu Feifei stared in disbelief at the chaotic scene before her; the living room was now nothing short of a ruin, a ruin within a ruin.

Bookshelves, tables, vases, and other odds and ends were piled up in a jumble of broken and rotten things, with shards of glass and ceramics scattered on the floor.

Lin Yuan walked in front of her, blocking her view, and said, "You should go back to your room first. It's too messy here."

Almost nothing in the living room was intact; everything was damaged, broken, or smashed. Only the sofa was barely usable, but the leather underneath was ripped to shreds, and the springs were sticking out.

What's happening here? Is it going to be demolished?

"No, I just want to redecorate and change the style."

Xu Feifei shook her head and sighed, "Renovate? I think rebuilding is more like it."

Lin Yuan pressed her shoulder, trying to push her back, "Alright, don't worry about it so much. Go back to your room first, I'll bring the food up in a bit."

Xu Feifei nimbly dodged his hand, "What's wrong with that?"

"Let me carry you over; there's too much glass and shards here."

"Do you think this is an idol drama? I'm not barefoot, and my foot isn't injured. Don't even mention it. Even if my foot were injured, I could still jump over it on one leg without any problem."

Don't say that.

Xu Feifei looked at the things under her feet and walked over carefully. The glass shards and ceramic fragments on the ground were like thorns growing on the road.

Lin Yuan kept his eyes fixed on her the whole time, afraid that she might get hurt. Time was too short, and he couldn't have someone come and tidy up the place in time.

The kitchen was a little better, but not by much. There was also a small pile of pots and pans in the kitchen area.

Xu Feifei stepped forward and picked up a pot to look at it. There was a large hole in it. The other pots also had dents of varying degrees. Looking at him through the hole in the pot, she said, "My God, how did this pot break? What are you cooking with?"

Lin Yuan took the pot from her hands, went into the kitchen and took out the packaged rice. "I didn't cook it, I bought it."

Xu Feifei looked at the takeout box on the table. "Oh, I thought you cooked it. Why didn't you put it in the living room?"

After saying that, it was pointless to ask any more questions. The living room was a complete mess, but at least there was a countertop in the kitchen.

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "We'll cook it tomorrow. It's too messy here right now. Let's go back to our room to eat."

Xu Feifei ignored him and asked while opening the package, "You said this place was going to be renovated with a new style, so why did you bring me here? This place is a mess. There will be formaldehyde in the renovation. Do you want me to inhale formaldehyde?"

"Don't worry, nothing new here will contain formaldehyde. What kind of decorating style do you like?"

Xu Feifei picked up a chicken wing. "I don't believe it. New furniture will definitely have formaldehyde. Let me go back first, and I'll come back after the formaldehyde dissipates."

Lin Yuan tilted his head and smiled indulgently, "Feifei, that won't happen. I definitely won't let you get hurt. I'll test the furniture for safety before it's delivered, and the house will be ventilated regularly."

Xu Feifei glared at him, annoyed. Talking to Lin Yuan about going back now was like casting pearls before swine; she could only hope for a chance to escape later.

The worst part is that she had never learned to drive before, and this place is in the suburbs, in the middle of nowhere, so she didn't know if there were any taxis or ride-hailing services available.

As Xu Feifei ate, she pondered how to escape back home. Now that she was gone, she wondered what had become of her family.

The Xu residence is currently under immense pressure; no one dares to breathe too loudly, fearing that the conflict might involve them.

"What?! Miss is missing?! How did you manage to follow her? With so many people following her, how could you lose her?"

When Xu Furen learned that Xu Feifei was missing, he flew into a rage and berated his subordinates. The subordinates trembled with fear and dared not utter a word.

Gao Lan was filled with worry, but she also knew that getting angry wouldn't solve anything at this point.

He could only pat his arm and comfort him, "Don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your liver and spleen. The main task now is to get them to find Feifei as soon as possible."

"I order you to find the young lady right now, preferably by tomorrow. If you haven't found her before the engagement, hmph, you'll be in big trouble!"

Xu Furen gave a cold laugh.

Nangong Ye stood to the side, pursing his lips and remaining silent. He felt partly responsible for Xu Feifei's disappearance; if he had stayed with her the whole time, this situation might not have occurred.

After the bodyguards left, Nangong Ye stepped forward and said, "Godfather, Godmother, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't had to go out, Feifei might be alright."

Xu Furen said angrily, "It's not your fault, it's theirs. They can't even keep an eye on such a big person. They don't know what they're good for, they're so useless."

Gao Lan patted his back to comfort him, then sighed and said to Nangong Ye, "Xiao Ye, this isn't your fault. The only thing we can do right now is send more people to search. I don't know how Feifei is doing now; I hope she's alright."

"It'll be alright. I'll send people to look for it too."

Xu Furen nodded and said solemnly, "This matter must not be publicized and must be kept secret. You two are getting engaged this weekend, and Feifei's whereabouts are currently unknown. If her disappearance is exposed, it will have a negative impact on both of our companies."

Nangong Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I will."

Gao Lan patted Xu Furen's hand, "Now we can only pray that Feifei is safe and sound."

"Hiccup~"

After Xu Feifei finished eating, she let out a burp. Seeing that Lin Yuan's food was barely touched, she asked, "Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. "I'm not very hungry right now, and I don't really feel like eating."

"You're not hungry now, but when you get hungry tonight, there won't be any food left. It's the middle of nowhere, and food delivery services don't even deliver here."

"It's okay, a little something in your stomach is fine."

"Eating so little? Are you on a diet? You're too thin. You need to eat more."

Xu Feifei noticed that Lin Yuan's face was thin, his long hair obscuring his features, making his complexion appear exceptionally pale in the shadows. She picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in his bowl. "Eat more. There's something I've been wanting to ask you."

Lin Yuan looked at the ribs in the bowl and smiled, his mood noticeably improving, which was a good sign.

"What?"

"I want to know if your hair is real or fake. Why don't you tie it up when you eat? Don't you have a hair tie?"

Lin Yuan looked down at his hair. "It's fake. I can't find it."

"Then why don't you take it off? Wearing a wig must be uncomfortable."

“I’m afraid you won’t like it if I take it off suddenly, so I’ll wait until my hair grows longer.”

Xu Feifei thought about it and it seemed to make sense. But she still advised, "It's okay, I've seen you in your male form before. The first time we met, you were as Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, we still need to take it slowly."

Xu Feifei frowned upon hearing this, looking quite puzzled.

So she took off her hair tie and handed it to Lin Yuan, saying, "In that case, you can use mine. I'm full, I don't need it."

Lin Yuan glanced at the hair tie in her hand and looked at her.

Xu Feifei raised her hand, looking at him with confusion, and asked, "Don't you want it?"

"want."

Lin Yuan leaned closer to her hand and lowered his head.

What are you doing?

Lin Yuan gently bit the hair tie with his teeth, then looked up to meet her gaze. The two were very close, their fragrances mingling together.

"Boom!" Xu Feifei's face flushed red instantly, her heart pounding like a drum, and she stammered, "You...you...you're being a pervert!"

Lin Yuan tidied his hair with both hands, a hair tie still in his mouth, and looked at her with bright, smiling eyes that held a hint of allure.

She quickly tied her hair up. "No, I didn't even touch you."

Xu Feifei said angrily, "You are!"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "No, that counts as me seducing you."

Hearing this, Xu Feifei's face turned even redder. She wanted to scold him but couldn't bring herself to do it. "Hmph, you can eat slowly. I'm not keeping you company!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Yuan with only his back view.

Back in her room, after locking the door, Xu Feifei immediately collapsed onto the bed. She buried her face in the blankets, repeatedly pounding them with her fists, and muttered, "Damn, Lin Yuan is being way too unfair!"

Thinking back to the way he held the hair tie in his mouth, it was indeed quite alluring.

Thinking of this, Xu Feifei chuckled for a while, then suddenly remembered that there were surveillance cameras in the room.

He immediately stood up, his expression darkening, his lips twitching, and shouted a warning into the air: "You're not allowed to spy on me, you're not allowed to look."

I got out of bed to check where the cameras were. It's ridiculous to install cameras in a room. The room is so private; with cameras, there's no privacy at all.

No, we have to find it and remove it.

Xu Feifei began a thorough search, determined to find the hidden camera in the corner.

There was a knock on the door.

"Feifei, would you like some milk? I've warmed it up for you."

Xu Feifei, lying on the floor under the bed, shouted, "No!"

"And orange juice! Freshly squeezed."

The door opened, and Lin Yuan stood in the doorway holding two drinks, a milk and an orange.

Xu Feifei decisively took the glass of orange juice, took a sip, and said, "Take down the surveillance camera in my room. I don't like having surveillance cameras in my room."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let me get a tool first."

After a while, Lin Yuan brought over his tools, placed a stool in front of the door, stepped on it, and started banging on the corner of the door. Soon, a small camera was produced.

Then he went to the window and knocked on it again, and took out another small camera.

"Alright, the cameras are all out."

Xu Feifei looked at the two cameras on the ground. "Only two? That's it?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "That's all, just two."

Xu Feifei paced around the room. "Okay, I'll trust you for now. Just don't let me find out there are any other cameras, or I'll get mad at you."

"I guarantee there isn't."

Seeing this, Xu Feifei began to give the order to leave, saying, "OK, I've finished my orange juice. I'm going to wash up and go to bed. You should go to bed too."

Lin Yuan tidied up the cup and trash, then smiled at her and said, "Good night, sweet dreams!"

"good evening!"

It's a habit I've long since developed, and it just comes out of my mouth.
