"you……"
Sensing the familiar presence, Li Ruo was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she heard Wen Huaiyan's voice above her: "How can you be so stupid?"
His tone was gentle, with a hint of amusement in it, which made Li Ruo's nose tingle involuntarily.
Wen Huaiyan was not usually very gentle, but whenever the two were intimate, he was somewhat restrained and not too rough.
But this unique thoughtfulness vanished the moment she ran away.
Feeling it again, Li Ruo even had a sense of being in another world.
In the silence, the man's voice came again from above: "What are you thinking about? You're not... scared out of your wits, are you?"
Li Ruo snapped out of her daze and looked up sharply, meeting Wen Huaiyan's deep eyes.
When their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
In the silence, Li Ruo's heart began to beat faster, pounding like a deer's tail.
However, she quickly realized what was happening, pushed Wen Huaiyan away, and stammered, "You...you're the one who's scared out of her wits!"
As she spoke, she awkwardly straightened her clothes and took the opportunity to pinch her thigh hard.
She hadn't forgotten what Wen Huaiyan had done before; this man was inherently domineering.
She absolutely cannot let herself continue down this path!
Having made up her mind, a resolute glint flashed in Li Ruo's eyes as she exerted force once more.
The moment the excruciating pain struck, her previously rapid heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Wen Huaiyan naturally wouldn't miss her little trick. Seeing this, he immediately sneered, "What? I helped you just now, and you won't even say thank you?"
How could that be?
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo immediately gave a fake smile and then said in a low voice, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Wen. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
She can't stay here any longer!
Wen Huaiyan is cold and ruthless; she absolutely cannot be soft-hearted again.
I absolutely... I must leave!
Where do you want to go?
But as soon as she turned around, Wen Huaiyan pulled her back again.
This time, he used all his strength.
Caught off guard, Li Ruo immediately fell into his arms.
For a moment, she could even feel the other person's hot breath.
"Mr. Wen..."
Li Ruo was startled and tried to struggle, but Wen Huaiyan held her tightly around the waist, making it impossible for her to move.
Smelling the delicate fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose, Wen Huaiyan reacted instinctively, staring at Li Ruo somewhat absentmindedly.
Meeting his burning, affectionate gaze, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback, her heart trembled involuntarily, and her face flushed slightly.
That gaze was like looking at someone she deeply loved, even though she knew Wen Huaiyan couldn't possibly feel that way about her.
But in that instant, she still couldn't help but succumb.
While she was still in a daze, Wen Huaiyan suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, "Why are you so petty? You can't even stand to hear the truth."
As he spoke, he gently tidied the stray hairs behind her ear.
Completely unprepared for her actions, Li Ruo instinctively widened her eyes, her face filled with vigilance.
Looking at her cat-like expression, Wen Huaiyan's throat bobbed slightly, and his eyes softened even more: "Why can't you just be a little more obedient?"
His voice was low, and his tone seemed to contain endless sighs.
Hearing this suddenly almost gave Li Ruo the illusion that she was being pampered.
But she quickly regained consciousness.
She pursed her red lips slightly, and contrary to her usual behavior, she did not struggle. Instead, she leaned obediently into the man's hard embrace: "But I clearly did nothing wrong, so why are you locking me up?"
"You didn't do anything wrong?"
But upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan suddenly let out a soft snort, his already deep eyes growing even darker: "Then let me ask you again, is there anything you want to tell me?"
He wasn't as angry as before, but it was this calm demeanor that made Li Ruo's hair stand on end.
Could he really know about that?
Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, she bit her lip hard: "I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"don't know……"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan's expression turned even colder.
After a long silence, he chuckled softly, "Then you don't understand!"
As he spoke, his large hand gently touched Li Ruo's fair face, his expression becoming increasingly complex.
As he silently watched her, Li Ruo became increasingly flustered.
She took a deep breath, trying to change the subject: "This is the first time I've ever cooked for someone else. Is it really that bad?"
She spoke very carefully, but she didn't know what she did that touched Wen Huaiyan.
His expression froze for a moment, then he snapped back to reality, his coldness vanishing: "Of course not, it's delicious!"
Then he added, "Thank you for your hard work today. Is there anything you want? I'll arrange it."
His expression was calm and serene, as if he could pluck the stars from the sky for Li Ruo if she wanted them.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was overjoyed and quickly looked up: "Are you telling the truth?"
Seeing her expectant expression, Wen Huaiyan smiled and said, "Of course!"
"Staying at home is too boring, can I go out and have some fun?"
