"Who threatens people like that?" Ruan Tang glared. "Xu Lai, don't go too far."
Without another word, Xu Lai tickled her again. Ruan Tang immediately dissolved into helpless laughter, a charming blush spreading across her face, born of pure vexation.
She bit her lip, enunciating every word, "Even if I, Ruan Tang, were to die—even if I had to jump off the cliff by the pool—I would not scream."
"Impressive."
Xu Lai admired his wife's steely resolve, so he tickled her a few more times.
At first, Ruan Tang could bear it, but soon enough—
"Ah, stop! I was wrong, Hubby, don't…"
In her room on the second floor, Ruan Lan was getting quite annoyed. She jumped off her bed, slammed the window shut, and grumbled indignantly, "Young people these days are just too much. Can't they wait until they're in their room to get all hot and heavy? Don't they know there's an innocent young woman here?!"

Back at the poolside, Ruan Tang glared at Xu Lai as if she wanted to skin him alive.
