"Standing here, hoping I won't punish you?" Mu Yichuan strode over to Xin Yu's side.
Xin Yu shrank back, abandoning her earlier thoughts of resistance. Given the current situation, even if she fought desperately, she would be the one who suffered.
However, she really didn't want to beg him, she really didn't want to…
"Mr. Jiu, please eat first, I…" she said, going upstairs first.
Mu Yichuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly. This woman was playing tricks again!
Interesting…
"I only want to eat—you!" He whispered in Xin Yu's ear, his seductive voice carrying a fatal magnetism.
She froze abruptly. She had seriously underestimated Mu Yichuan's shamelessness! "Ahem..." Xin Yu bit her lower lip, forcing a fawning smile, her intentions clear. "Can we talk first? I have something very important to say."
"Sure!" Mu Yichuan answered readily, but immediately followed up with, "We'll talk in bed."
Xin Yu felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head, chilling her to the bone. She looked at Mu Yichuan with shame and indignation. How could this man speak of such a thing so casually!
Suddenly, he felt a surge of joy.
Looking at the deflated Xin Yu, he found her—utterly adorable.
"You've seduced me successfully!" he said, sweeping Xin Yu up in his arms and quickly disappearing into the bedroom on the second floor.
"I really do have something important to say! Mu Yichuan..." All of Xin Yu's resistance and struggle were now futile, drowned out by their prolonged and relentless embrace.
The night was completely dark, but through the French windows, Xin Yu could still see the stars twinkling in the sky.
Mu Yichuan had just turned away, which slightly relieved Xin Yu's fatigue and pressure. Under the orange light, she glanced at the clock.
It was already one in the morning…
At this rate, she would definitely be… worn out by Mu Yichuan!
She had to change this situation!
Thinking this, Xin Yu suddenly sat up, grabbed her pajamas, and jumped out of bed with a burst of energy. "Ah!"
The next second, she felt the cruelty of reality.
"You want to take a shower?" Mu Yichuan, who had just come out of the bathroom, looked satisfied. He picked up Xin Yu and stroked her wet black hair.
"No!" Seeing that he was about to "kindly" help her, Xin Yu quickly interrupted, "I want to talk to you."
"Didn't we talk enough just now?" Mu Yichuan asked ambiguously.
His fair and cold face was now veiled in a mist of lingering heat, making his tall and muscular frame appear alluring and sexy, like a poppy.
Xin Yu immediately lowered her eyes, no longer looking, swallowed, and steadied her breathing. "You went to Yuanzi's house this evening because I didn't stay here last night?"
"What do you think!" Mu Yichuan's cool fingers lifted Xin Yu's chin, forcing her to look directly at him.
Xin Yu saw a drop of water fall from his short hair and instinctively reached out to catch it, her fingertip accidentally brushing against Mu Yichuan's cheek. His cold eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards.
This woman is starting to care about him?
"I'll live here from now on, but I... have a few conditions." Xin Yu was somewhat speechless, observing Mu Yichuan's expression as she spoke.
Sure enough, his lips quickly pressed into a straight line, and the night suddenly felt cold.
Living here, and she has conditions?
Does she really not know how many women are desperate to live here?
After a long silence, he finally uttered a single word, expressionless: "Speak." "Actually, it's nothing serious. You don't need to expend any effort or energy; just nod." Xin Yu smiled awkwardly, her large, dark eyes darting around.
"First, I want my own freedom in studying, working, and making friends. Second, we…" Xin Yu's face flushed, but before she could finish her sentence, she was silenced by Mu Yichuan's dark expression.
"The freedom to make friends?" he said indifferently, his gaze chilling.
