Ah Li shrank back a little in fear, avoiding Chi Ye's gaze.
At this moment, Chi Ye just wanted to teach people how to behave, but his older brother was still downstairs, and he had to go down.
Otherwise, he didn't know what his older brother might do.
Chi Ye glanced around the room; there were no sharp objects inside.
Then, Chi Ye went out and locked the door from the outside.
Ahri stared at the tightly closed door with her mouth slightly agape. Had he just left like that? No forceful love, no dark room, and no loving education?
Okay, okay, this guy really is tired of her. How disappointing.
Ali got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, rummaged through her clothes, found a normal set of long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and quickly changed into them.
Ali opened the window, glanced at the height, then climbed out and slowly walked along the wall, stepping on the windowsill.
Next door to this room is an empty room, no one lives there.
Ahri tried pushing the window of the next room and finally managed to reach it; it wasn't locked.
Ahri carefully opened the window and crouched down to go inside.
Ahri carefully stepped on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. She then cautiously approached the door, pressed her ear against it, and, finding no movement outside, carefully opened the door and went out.
Then, Ah Li heard Chi Ye and his older brother Chi Man talking downstairs.
Chi Man said, "Just play around with that person, don't get really emotionally involved."
"Ha, just playing around? Do you think I should go along with what you're saying and say that I'm just playing around and that I wouldn't develop any real feelings? But I did."
"you……"
Chi Ye continued, "Why did you come here today? You're the chosen one, why are you bothering me? Everyone in the family likes you as the eldest son, they don't like me at all. They think I'm useless, always fighting or racing, rebellious, unlike you who are sensible, understanding, and able to expand the family's business empire."
Chi Man interrupted Chi Ye, saying, "You're not like that. I know you just want people to notice you."
Chi Ye continued, "So, what are you going to do this time? I finally found someone I like, and you want to get rid of her from my side too? It's always been like this since I was a child. What I like and what I want, I have to fight for myself. But you, you don't have to do anything to get everyone's praise and liking."
"Chi Ye".
"Chi Man, wouldn't it be better if we just maintained a facade of brotherly affection?"
As Chi Ye finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
After some time, Chi Man stood up from the sofa and said, "The family is planning to let you meet that girl from the Yin family. If nothing unexpected happens, you two will get married by the end of the year, so get rid of her."
Chi Ye said, "I won't agree to this, and I won't get rid of her."
"A-Ye, don't be willful."
Chi Man turned around and looked up at the second floor. He... spotted Ah Li.
Ahri knelt there, her emotionless eyes fixed on him.
A delicious seafood aroma wafted up from time to time, making Ah Li even more reluctant to leave. She couldn't waste Chi Ye's kindness; she wanted to have a seafood feast.
At this moment, Chi Man turned her head slightly towards Chi Ye and said, "If you don't listen, your family will suspend your card and kick you out of the house."
Chi Ye said nonchalantly, "Whatever."
Chi Man curled her lips and continued, "And what about her? Would she be willing to follow you when you're penniless and have to sleep on the streets?"
"?"
Following Chi Man's gaze, Chi Ye looked towards the stairwell on the second floor.
Ahri was kneeling, trying to move back.
Chi Ye walked straight from downstairs to the stairwell and asked, "How did you get out here?"
Ahri lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.
Chi Ye noticed that Ah Li had changed her clothes, so he walked up to her and said, "Do you really want me to lock you up with a big, thick chain?"
Ahri said in a muffled voice, "You probably won't be able to lock it anymore. Because if you don't listen to your family's arrangements, you will be kicked out, and this house will no longer be yours."
Chi Ye almost laughed out of exasperation at Ah Li, and said, "Then let's give it a try."
Ahri quickly shook her head, saying it was better not to try it. She had been tied up before, and that was a kind of freedom.
Chi Ye then said, "Get up."
Ahri felt a little flustered, and she slowly stood up.
Chi Ye looked downstairs at this moment and saw that Chi Man had left sometime earlier and had closed the door.
Chi Ye smiled and took off his shirt, then walked towards Ah Li. He licked his lips and said, "Where are you going after changing into these clothes?"
Ahri said nervously, "I want to leave here."
Seeing that Ah Li didn't dare to look at him, Chi Ye said, "How pathetic! Someone like you wants to run away from home?"
Ahri wanted to be assertive, but for some reason, the words she spoke lacked confidence: "This...this is not my home."
Chi Ye hugged Ah Li tightly, letting her brace her hands against the stair railing. He stood behind Ah Li and whispered, "Naughty baby, there will be punishment."
Ahri's expression changed. "Not here!"
"Now I'm in charge, baby."
Chi Ye's movements were neither hurried nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient.
The flavor of seafood feasts has faded over time.
Ahri's knees were red, and her voice was hoarse.
Chi Ye even had the composure to ask her, "Does the baby know where she went wrong?"
