She raised her hand, hooked it around Xie Zhecheng's neck, and deepened the kiss.
Over the next few hours, the atmosphere in the study gradually became ambiguous.
Sunlight streamed through the skylight, casting long shadows of the three people.
Lin Yanran's domineering nature, Xie Zhecheng's restraint, and Yu Jiuyuan's seemingly compliant yet actually controlling attitude intertwine to create a strange picture.
They didn't watch a documentary or talk much; they simply shared this time that belonged to them in the most intimate way.
Yu Jiuyuan watched as an observer, seeing the gentleness beneath Xie Zhecheng's cold mask and the eagerness beneath Lin Yanran's arrogant exterior. A sense of pleasure belonging to a "madman" gradually spread through her heart.
She knew that these people's infatuation with her had long exceeded the normal range.
Xie Zhecheng's perfectionism was shattered in front of her, Lin Yanran's arrogance was worn down to nothing but bluster, Yuan Xu's world changed from biological experiments to her presence, and Rong Shenghan regarded her as his whole life... and all of this was under her control.
It was evening when Yu Jiuyuan finally came out of the study.
She straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, her hair still damp with lingering heat.
As she went downstairs, she bumped into Rong Shenghan cooking in the kitchen. The light of the setting sun fell on him, outlining his gentle features.
"You're back?" He turned around and glanced at me, his eyes devoid of emotion, but his tone was gentle. "Dinner will be ready soon."
Yu Jiuyuan walked over, hugged his waist from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back: "Shenghan".
"Hmm?" His hands didn't stop moving; his knife skills in chopping vegetables remained precise.
"Today..." Yu Jiuyuan paused, her voice slightly muffled, "They didn't cause any trouble, did they?"
Rong Shenghan paused in his chopping, then chuckled, "With you here, they wouldn't dare."
He turned around, looked down at her, and gently brushed his fingertips across her cheek. "Are you tired?"
"A little." Yu Jiuyuan looked up at him, her eyes carrying a hint of coquettishness. "I can only sleep if you hold me tonight."
A hint of warmth flashed in Rong Shenghan's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay."
During dinner, both Xie Zhecheng and Lin Yanran seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
Lin Yanran stopped arguing with Rong Shenghan and just ate her meal in silence, though her ears turned a little red.
Xie Zhecheng remained silent, only occasionally serving Yu Jiuyuan food in a natural manner.
Yu Jiuyuan saw all of this but didn't say anything. She just ate her meal slowly and occasionally said a word to Rong Shenghan in an intimate tone.
Late at night, the master bedroom was bathed in warm yellow light.
Yu Jiuyuan leaned against Rong Shenghan's chest, tracing the outline of his chest with her fingertips.
His hand rested gently on her waist; his breathing was steady, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Shenghan," she said softly, "you're not angry, are you?"
Rong Shenghan's eyelashes trembled, and his deep voice rang out in the darkness: "No."
"Really?" Yu Jiuyuan looked up at him, and in the moonlight she could see the clarity in his eyes. "I know you don't actually like them touching me."
He was silent for a moment, then tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer: "But this was agreed upon."
"Agreements are rigid, but people are flexible."
Yu Jiuyuan kissed his chin, her voice as soft as spring water, "If I don't want to, no one can touch me."
She paused, then added, "But I know you want me to be happy."
Rong Shenghan didn't say anything, but simply lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.
Yu Jiuyuan smiled and said nothing more.
She knew how much forbearance and concession Rong Shenghan concealed in his "not getting angry".
But that's enough. He was willing to compromise for her and accept this absurd agreement, which was enough to prove that he cared about her to the core.
She rolled over and straddled him, then lowered her head to kiss him.
The kiss was deliberately tender and comforting, as if telling him that no matter what happened during the day, at night she belonged only to him.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the intertwined figures of the two.
As the indoor temperature gradually rose, those suppressed emotions and silent possessiveness were completely released in the tenderness of this late night.
Yu Jiuyuan knew that such days would continue.
Xie Zhecheng's forbearance, Lin Yanran's unwillingness, Yuan Xu's persistence, and Rong Shenghan's indulgence will all revolve around her, staging a series of scenes that are either sweet or bittersweet.
She will continue to be the young lady who controls everything, enjoying their infatuation while also bearing the responsibilities that come with this "taming".
After all, this was the path she chose herself.
