Perhaps neither of them intended to escalate the situation, or perhaps it was Nie Langyuan's explanation that softened Feng Rujiao's attitude. She stepped forward and hugged Nie Zhui's arm.
"Since this is for work, there's no need to rush me away. I'll go with you," she said.
Thinking that her change in demeanor would earn her some consideration, Nie Zhui pulled his arm away without any hesitation.
"You don't belong here. While there's still time, it's best to cut your losses," he replied as he walked out.
Nie Langyuan awkwardly pretended to adjust his floral shirt, acting as if he hadn't heard anything, and followed his brother out, leaving Feng Rujiao alone in the room.
With a demeanor as refreshing as a spring breeze, she glanced at the empty floor and muttered, "Kill Yun Zhi Yue."
The ground rippled with black water before quickly disappearing.
Nie Xi was glued to Yun Zhi Yue, chattering incessantly. When they arrived at the uniquely Gothic villa, her voice came to an abrupt halt; it was quite an eye-opener.
The existence of a house from the underworld was shocking enough, but this one was hideously ugly. The colors—black, red, dark green, and earthy yellow—seemed like something designed by a non-human with no taste whatsoever.
Yet when faced with Yun Zhi Yue's proud inquiry about whether the house was beautiful, Nie Xi replied earnestly, "It's truly stunning and one-of-a-kind. The person who designed this villa must be an avant-garde thinker and an unparalleled beauty."
Giggling, she knew she was just flattering on purpose, but it was hard to resist since Yue Shi loved hearing it.
When Yun Zhi Yue came to see Nie Xi, it was already past seven in the evening after a long day at work. Shijiu had long since left the office.
Sitting on the couch in nothing but shorts, he looked like a sloth.
Seeing the two bring Nie Xi, he jumped up in surprise. "What the hell? Why did you bring this sickly person here? Are you trying to spread germs?"
Without hesitation, Yun Zhi Yue slapped him on the forehead. "Shut your mouth! From now on, Nie Xi will be living with us. Act normal and put on some clothes; what are you doing?"
Pulling Nie Xi upstairs, she found a room on the second floor. "You can stay here."
Nie Xi didn't go inside but looked up expectantly. "Where will you stay, sister?"
Raising an eyebrow, Yun Zhi Yue replied, "Don't even think about staying with me. Have you forgotten what you said yesterday about ruining my life?"
Immediately shaking her head, Nie Xi protested, "Sister must have been sleepwalking; I didn't see you at all yesterday."
"Oh really? You change your tune quickly," Yun Zhi Yue said as she pointed to the room. "You can stay here or not; just remember that when you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head."
Casting a sidelong glance at Nie Xi, she intended to head upstairs to her own room but was forcefully pulled back inside.
He was clearly a patient, yet he exerted considerable strength as he forcibly brought her to the big bed, looking pitifully at her. "Sister, I recognize this bed."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyelids twitched slightly. "And so?"
"So, I trouble you, Sister, to warm the bed for me. If it’s filled with your scent, then I won’t recognize it anymore."
As Nie Xi spoke, his clear yet languid eyes were filled with a captivating desire. His slender fingers traced along Yun Zhi Yue's cheek, slowly sliding down.
Yun Zhi Yue did not resist; she simply gazed at him. Nie Xi gradually leaned in to touch her sweet-smelling red lips.
Yun Zhi Yue remained still, yet he felt as if this was the ultimate seduction, completely unable to control himself.
