He carried the woman to the bed. Just as he was about to cover her with the quilt, she hurriedly crawled into his arms.
âAre you sleepy, Baby Ruo?â
Well, she was actually wide awake!
âNot really.â
âWhy donât we watch a movie now?â
She pondered it with a frown. This was not a bad idea considering that she wasnât sleepy. At the very least, it would save her from his insatiable sexual appetite.
âAlright then.â
The man smiled to himself. His wicked plan was working! He reached over for his phone on the bedside table and searched for a horror thriller.
âWhy are we watching a horror movie again? Arenât you afraid?â She sounded displeased as she grumbled in his arms.
âYes, I am. Thatâs why you need to protect me.â
â...â
In the end, the woman decided to feign fatigue. âIâm sleepy now.â
Alas, that was not enough to save her from the fear instilled in her by the initial horror film. The woman slept fretfully throughout the night and dreamt of a group of demons chasing after her. In fact, she woke up with a start two to three times during the night and had to be cajoled back to sleep by her husband.
That was not enough to save her from the nightmare, which continued to haunt her from the point where it had last stopped whenever she drifted off into slumberland.
The demons would laugh eerily at her and beckon. âYo, here we meet again!â Then, they would continue to harass and torment her.
She almost went crazy as the demons beat her all night.
She looked terribly out of shape the next morning and had dark circles under her eyes. On the other hand, the young lady, who had been terribly frightened the previous night, looked better than ever in the morning...
Wang Yiyang and Zheng Yi left the residence immediately after breakfast.
âLittle sis-in-law, are you alright?â
âIâm fine.â
Her husband pursed his lips anxiously. He hadnât known that she was this timid.
âDid you not sleep well last night, sister-in-law? You better make up for the lost sleep later.â
âAlright. You guys go ahead with your breakfast. Iâm full. Iâm returning to my room,â Ye Erruo told them, her face looking gloomy.
âLet me escort you upstairs.â
âItâs not necessary.â
âAlright.â
âBoss, what do you think of Yahan? I want to take her to meet the rest of the gang.â
The girl was instantly piqued as she looked anxiously at Mo Jiangye.
âSheâs not as good as my woman,â he told the chap brashly.
âYes... Yes... Little sister-in-law is perfect, but you canât compare her to Yahan. What do you think of her as a person?â
His Chief drank his milk without a word before asking, âDo you want to hear the truth?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course!â
The older man said without mincing his words, âSheâs untrustworthy.â
Fang Yahan could feel her heart breaking into pieces upon hearing his feedback. Tears rimmed her eyes instantly.
Mo Jiangye stood up and returned to his room without taking a second look at her.
âWuuu...â
âYahan, donât cry.â
âXu Xu, your buddies and your boss donât like me! I know youâre too good for me, but what can I do? My family background isnât something I have control over.â
Her man fretfully tried to console her. âDonât listen to him. He only has eyes for sister-in-law. No other woman is good enough in his opinion.â
âBut... But your two buddies donât like me either.â
âThe other two have been single for a very long time. They donât know how to evaluate a girlfriend. Iâll bring you to meet other friends of mine later.â
âAlright,â the girl replied with a sob before asking, âAre we leaving today?â
âYes. Weâll leave after breakfast.â
The girl wanted to say something else but stopped herself. It would be a pity to leave this beautiful place with the good food and the nice bed. She had snapped pictures of the place yesterday and uploaded them to her social page, which had promptly earned her friendsâ envy.
She couldnât bear the thought of leaving so soon actually.
Meanwhile, Ye Erruo made a futile attempt to get some sleep in the bedroom. As a result, she looked worse than before.
She developed a fever that very night, which made her husband have a panic attack. The manor was steeped in anxiety and fear as servants scurried around trying to serve their young master, who was on the verge of a violent breakdown...
