Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Ever since that incident in the office,
Su Yu had been like a different person. Every night at home, he’d work out in a sheer black tank top.
My nose practically bled as I forced myself not to pounce on him and ride him senseless. I dragged my eyes away and swallowed hard.
Then I went back to my room and got through it with some female-oriented smut.
One time, I forgot to close the door, and he caught me right after coming out of the shower. Very thoughtfully, he asked, “Xiaoxiao, do you need my help?”
Hearing his sexy voice, I almost lost control on the spot.
I hurriedly told him no.
He nodded and shut the door.
He was probably going to boil water after that. The electric kettle was absurdly loud.
I felt miserable.
If this kept up, sooner or later I was definitely going to wrap myself around his increasingly toned waist.
And when that happened, everything would be ruined!
So I asked the System for help, and it gave me a suggestion:
[The male lead’s hatred value has been fluctuating badly, especially at night. The trauma you left him with at night before was too deep.]
[How about this: just go stay at a hotel every night.]
[If he doesn’t see you, maybe his hatred value will steadily go down.]
Back then, every night I used to cling to Su Yu with a heart full of joy, going through ultrathin condoms one after another.
To him, that was probably the worst nightmare of all.
I swallowed down my sadness.
Carrying my overnight things, I headed out, only to walk straight into Su Yu’s arms.
Everything in my bag spilled onto the floor.
The man steadied me. When he saw the toiletries, towel, and other items scattered on the ground, storm clouds instantly gathered across his face.
“Where are you going?”
I panicked and hurriedly picked everything up and stuffed it back into my bag, trying to change the subject.
“Don’t you usually get off work at seven-thirty? It’s only seven right now. Why are you home so early today?”
“The company must not be busy today, huh? Haha, that’s great!”
“You’ve been swamped with work forever. It’s nice that you finally get to relax a little…”
Su Yu’s dark eyes fixed on me, brewing with the dead silence before a storm. He held back the surging possessiveness inside him and said nothing.
By the time my mouth had gone dry and I had run out of things to say,
he suddenly seized my wrist and questioned me, word by word:
“Tell me.”
“Where are you going?”
Thinking fast, I put on an impatient look.
“Oh, come on. Do I seriously have to report to you just because I’m going to soak in a hot spring?”
“A friend said there’s a pretty good hot spring place in the west of the city, so I’m going to try it tonight.”
Su Yu stared at me.
“We’ll go together.”
“No! That place has separate baths for men and women, and I’m staying there overnight. You should just stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet you’ve finally gotten back…”
I rubbed the wrist he’d squeezed painfully and muttered under my breath.
When he heard enjoy the peace and quiet you’ve finally gotten back, he curled his lips in a mocking smile and stopped blocking me.
After my figure disappeared from sight,
he called the butler over with a dark expression.
“Find out where Xiaoxiao has been going lately, and who she’s been with.”
The next evening, I got smarter and left home early at five, only coming back the next morning.
I said I’d stayed over at a friend’s place.
The third day, the fourth day… after a whole month, I never repeated the same excuse twice.
I thought Su Yu must be sleeping much better lately.
But at five in the morning, when I snuck into the villa on tiptoe,
the man’s deep voice rang out without warning, sending a chill straight down my spine:
“Xiaoxiao, do you still want this home?”
I turned stiffly to look.
The man on the sofa seemed to have sat there all night, motionless as a stone. His whole face was shrouded in shadow, his expression unreadable.
I had just opened my mouth to speak,
when he sprang to his feet as if he were afraid of hearing an answer he couldn’t bear.
Then he went to the open kitchen.
“I’ll make your favorite beef brisket mixed noodles for breakfast. Go rest for a bit, then wash up and eat.”
My parted lips slowly pressed together in silence.
More than anyone, I wanted this home.
But I didn’t belong to this world…
At that moment, the System suddenly spoke in my mind:
[Detected that the mission target’s hatred value is about to reach 0. Congratulations, host, on unbinding!]
I jerked my head up.
Just by not causing trouble at night for one month, Su Yu stopped hating me?
But his oppressive aura just now had clearly been terrifyingly heavy…
The System said:
[Changing host identity to vicious supporting female and binding a new mission target-]
[Ding! Binding successful!]
[Host, please proceed to the designated location immediately and conquer the villain Huo Yuming.]
