"Are you satisfied now?" she said again.
Aiden sighed even louder this time, then helplessly said, "You should just go back to sleep."
"I would like to sleep more too, I fell asleep very late last night." Choi Ji-Yoon glanced at him. "The soundproofing in this place is too poor. But, I have to say, you really are a very strong man. Jill will be very happy in the future."
After a night, Aiden had already gotten a bit used to Choi Ji-Yoon's words. He expressionlessly asked, "Looks like you handled it yourself?"
"Guess," Choi Ji-Yoon said with a grin, then propped up her upper body and looked past the back of the sofa toward Irina curled up in the corner. "I think you should ask her. She seemed to have slept even later than me."
"You were asleep and still knew whether she slept or not?" Aiden asked curiously.
"Just guessing. Anyway, when I was about to sleep, her eyes were still wide open." Choi Ji-Yoon lay back down again, tugging the air conditioner blanket to cover her chest.
At that moment, Aiden noticed she was still wearing his T-shirt and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You didn't shower last night?"
Choi Ji-Yoon yawned and lazily said, "I did, but I gave my room to you guys, couldn't get my clothes, so I could only keep wearing this."
"You could've asked Roberta to get you a change of clothes," Aiden said.
"Her clothes are a bit small for me." Choi Ji-Yoon looked down at the air conditioner blanket that was arched up high and revealed a proud expression. "I saw the inferiority in her eyes at that time."
Aiden shook his head and said, "Roberta wouldn't care about that."
"Any woman would care, especially a woman who has fallen for a man," Choi Ji-Yoon said seriously. "Just like there's a saying in your country, 'A woman beautifies herself for the one who pleases her.'"
The last line, she said it in Aiden's native language.
That Choi Ji-Yoon could speak his native language, and so fluently at that, didn't surprise Aiden at all. For someone like her, an elite from a special forces background who became a special agent, being fluent in multiple languages was a basic requirement. Especially languages of major nations; even if not fluent, at least one had to be able to speak and understand them.
What truly surprised him was that Choi Ji-Yoon actually had a deep understanding of some of Z Country's culture. So he asked curiously, "You studied it?"
At first, Choi Ji-Yoon didn't understand what he meant, but then she quickly realized and nodded. "Yes, I studied it specially. After all, as long as it's within the Asian cultural sphere, there's no one who's not curious about Z Country's culture."
"Besides, when I was in high school, I was also an exchange student for a while and lived in your country for a long time." Choi Ji-Yoon added.
"But speaking of it, compared to your country's culture, I still prefer your country's food. It really makes me linger and not want to leave. It's a pity that later, due to work, I never had time to really enjoy it again."
After becoming a special agent, Choi Ji-Yoon naturally started traveling all over the world. Like the mission she was executing now, it could already be considered very relaxed. Normally she didn't even have time to enjoy life.
"Once you retire, you'll have plenty of time," Aiden didn't act like before, saying "I'll cook for you." Although he was a pretty decent cook, he could only fool people who'd never been to Z Country. For someone like Choi Ji-Yoon who had been an exchange student, better not make a fool of himself.
Choi Ji-Yoon sighed and grumbled, "I'm only in my twenties. Retirement is still far away, and people in my profession, how many of us live to retire? Just like yesterday, if it weren't for you guys, I probably would've already died."
Aiden thought for a moment and then offered a suggestion, "Then you only have one option left now, resign."
"The country spent so much money training me. There's no way they'd let me off that easily. They've always used people like me based on the idea of 'use to death if they're useful.'" Choi Ji-Yoon's tone was full of helplessness.
"I understand that." Aiden deeply agreed with Choi Ji-Yoon's words. This kind of 'use to death if useful' mentality applied worldwide, especially for elite agents like her.
Perhaps resonating with Aiden's words, Choi Ji-Yoon began treating him like a confidant and poured out her complaints in one go, mentally very energetic, not at all like someone who didn't sleep well.
And while the two of them were talking, Irina, in the corner, woke up. She hadn't slept well in the first place, and now hearing the two chattering early in the morning, she immediately made a dissatisfied noise.
But her mouth was stuffed with a large wad of cloth, taped over too, so she could only shake her head and emit muffled "mm-mm" sounds, sounding very uncomfortable.
Choi Ji-Yoon, with her back facing her, heard her but ignored it. Aiden, however, noticed how uncomfortable Irina looked, especially seeing her chest soaked with saliva.
He knew it was because the cloth in her mouth had been there too long, preventing swallowing, so the saliva soaked the cloth and overflowed. The sight made him feel sympathy.
He said directly, "I think you should just shoot her."
Choi Ji-Yoon was a smart woman, how could she not understand the real meaning behind Aiden's words? She snorted coldly. "You just got Jill last night, and now you're provoking another woman? Aren't you afraid Jill will get mad?"
"That's not what I meant," Aiden quickly explained.
"Of course I know. I was just joking." Choi Ji-Yoon looked at him, smiled, and continued, "Fine, I won't care if you want her to be more comfortable. But don't release her behind my back."
With that, she curled up again, closed her eyes, and waved her hand to show she wanted to rest.
Seeing her fall asleep the next second, Aiden shrugged, walked past the sofa, and went over to Irina.
Seeing Aiden approach, Irina stopped struggling, just stared at him with bloodshot eyes. Then Aiden noticed faint marks on both her cheeks and immediately understood what they were.
"A woman who looks so fierce actually cried," Aiden muttered, then tore off the tape and took the cloth out of Irina's mouth.
As the cloth came out, some accumulated saliva flowed out too. Realizing this, Irina immediately closed her mouth and even sucked in through her lips, but still, quite a bit of saliva dripped onto her chest.
"Kill me," Irina's eyes reddened further, not out of anger, but grievance. She had secretly cried last night, and now a man had seen her in such a shameful state. She immediately began crying again.
"I'd like to, but she wouldn't allow it." Aiden looked back and saw Choi Ji-Yoon sitting up again, watching them with great interest while lying on the sofa.
Seeing Aiden look at her, Choi Ji-Yoon casually spread her hands. "Keep going. I'm just watching."
Aiden ignored her, turned back to look at Irina but didn't know what to say. Finally, he sighed. "I'll go get you a glass of water."
When he came back with a glass, Irina was still crying, but with few tears, clearly having cried them dry the night before.
"Stop crying first. Drink some water. That way, if you want to keep crying, you'll at least have strength to do it." Aiden brought the glass to her mouth.
But Irina stubbornly tilted her head back, clenching her mouth shut.
Aiden tried persuading her again, but it still didn't work.
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Choi Ji-Yoon had already walked over.
"Ungrateful woman. Someone treats you well and you still act like this. Definitely needs training," Choi Ji-Yoon said as she crouched down, grabbed Irina's chin, snatched the glass from Aiden's hand, and directly poured the water into her mouth.
Since she was an enemy, Choi Ji-Yoon didn't treat her gently. Her rough actions made Aiden twitch his mouth.
"You look more like the villain than her," he said, feeling like their roles had switched.
"Because she's my enemy. If not for you, she would've killed me last night. And this is nothing yet, I haven't even started torturing her. If she landed in the hands of my interrogation colleagues, it'd be nothing but beatings. Unlike now, where we're even giving her water." Choi Ji-Yoon said coldly.
Though she worked for the government, agents like her obviously had different moral standards than regular soldiers or police.
In fact, that was normal. To complete missions, some agents' methods were more terrifying and cruel than villains.
Aiden quickly realized this and didn't refute it.
That cup of water Choi Ji-Yoon poured mostly spilled on Irina. Very little actually went in, and due to the rough treatment, she choked and kept coughing.
Handing the cup back to Aiden, Choi Ji-Yoon clapped her hands, stood up, and told him, "Don't be too nice to her in the future. Be rougher, maybe she even likes it that way."
Aiden looked up and said, "You're talking like she's some masochist… Tch, you really don't treat me like an outsider, huh?"
When Choi Ji-Yoon came over, she wasn't wearing pants. Though Aiden's T-shirt was oversized and barely covered her butt, Aiden was squatting, when he looked up, the spring scenery in front of him was unblocked.
Choi Ji-Yoon's figure was indeed outstanding. Her perky chest stretched the T-shirt up and away from her body, so nothing blocked his view. Besides seeing her bold black lace panties, he also saw her breasts… She wasn't even wearing a bra.
Aiden's words made Choi Ji-Yoon realize she might've exposed herself. But her skin was way thicker than his. Though her face was a bit red, she didn't shriek like other women. She just lightly pressed the hem of the shirt and calmly asked, "You saw everything?"
Aiden hesitated slightly, then still nodded. "Saw everything."
"Look good?"
"Good."
"Want to keep looking?"
Aiden, "..."
Though he really wanted to, he couldn't say that, so he stayed silent.
"If you say you want to, I'll let go right now. And I won't tell Jill," Choi Ji-Yoon said in a seductive tone, seeing his silence.
"..." Aiden remained silent.
At this moment, Irina, having stopped coughing, looked up at Choi Ji-Yoon and mocked, "Such a shameless b*tch, seducing your teammate's man. Just like a whore. Tch, back when you infiltrated our organization, I bet you slept with plenty of men. Maybe you joined us that way."
Honestly, those words were pretty vicious. Aiden thought Choi Ji-Yoon would be furious and argue back, but to his surprise, she didn't get angry. She simply smiled and crouched down, asking Aiden, "Got a knife on you?"
Aiden was stunned, then nodded. "Yeah."
As he spoke, he reached behind his waist, took out a Type-95 military knife from the system space, and handed it to her.
He thought Choi Ji-Yoon was provoked by Irina's words and planned to kill her with the knife.
But after taking the knife, Choi Ji-Yoon didn't slash Irina as he expected. Instead, she lightly ran her fingers along the blade, twirled it, then pointed the tip at Irina's chest.
Feeling the cold blade, Irina shuddered. Her body reacted instinctively, getting goosebumps all over, but her face showed a relieved smile. She then closed her eyes, waiting for death.
However, as Choi Ji-Yoon slowly moved the knife down her chest, the expected pain never came. Irina only heard the sound of fabric tearing and a man's gasp of disbelief.
Then, she felt something around her chest release, springing outward uncontrollably.
She opened her eyes in shock, looked down, and saw that Choi Ji-Yoon had only cut through her bra. And because her body was tied with rope, the way she looked now was extremely provocative.
Faced with such humiliation, tears spilled from Irina's eyes again. She gritted her teeth and used her remaining strength to lunge her upper body toward the knife. Her move was sudden, but Choi Ji-Yoon calmly withdrew the blade and pushed her with a hand.
That push changed Irina's direction, and she fell onto Aiden.
Originally, Aiden could have dodged, but both their actions caught him off guard. Perhaps Choi Ji-Yoon did it on purpose, just as he tried to stand, she pressed his shoulder, so in the end, Irina fell right on top of him.
Even worse, Irina's chest landed directly on Aiden's face.
The sudden skin-on-skin "face cream" made Aiden's breathing heavy. His hot breath tickled Irina's exposed chest, causing her whole body to tremble visibly and flush red all over.
For a few seconds, Aiden's brain went blank. Though it was a heavenly benefit, he quickly came to his senses, pushed Irina off himself, and glared at Choi Ji-Yoon.
"What? You didn't like it?" Choi Ji-Yoon looked at him innocently.
