Chapter 37: Playing the Villainous Supporting Role in an Old-School CEO Novel (2)

Yu Liuxue casually entered a restaurant and deliberately chose a seat by the window. The warm sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling glass, making her feel drowsy. She randomly ordered a few dishes, then took out her phone, planning to connect with her parents while also figuring out how to subtly hint to them that their biological daughter was still out there.

Song Yiqiu was bound to be found sooner or later. Even if Yu Liuxue did nothing, that transmigrator would go to great lengths to return to the Bai family. Since that was the case, Yu Liuxue might as well give her a push. Whether or not her parents would actually like Song Yiqiu, however, was none of her concern.

Ye Jin had just finished a business meal with a client. As soon as she stepped out of the private dining room, she saw a lazy little kitten basking in the sunlight, her lips curved in a faint smile. She turned slightly, apologizing to her client, “Excuse me, I have a personal matter to attend to.”

The client nodded understandingly. “Go ahead, President Ye. We’ll take our leave.”

Ye Jin inclined her head. Once the unrelated people were gone, she strode toward Yu Liuxue.

Yu Liuxue was playing with her phone when she suddenly felt a shadow cast over her. Instinctively, she looked up, her lips parting in surprise. “Ye Jin?”

Ye Jin ignored her reaction, smoothly pulling out a chair and sitting down across from her. The first thing she said was, “How’s your body?”

Her tone was light, almost indifferent, but her gaze was focused and serious as she looked into Yu Liuxue’s eyes. Her deep, striking features softened under the sunlight, her tea-colored irises carrying a touch of warmth.

Yu Liuxue had been a little annoyed when she woke up and didn’t see Ye Jin, but for some reason, when facing her now, she couldn’t muster any anger. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of apprehension.

“I’m fine.” Well, just a little sorer than usual.

Thinking about it, Yu Liuxue couldn’t help but feel a bit hopeless. The female lead of this world was way too powerful! Although she had been half-conscious and couldn’t recall the exact details of last night, the lingering aftereffects on her body were proof enough. Subconsciously, she supported her waist.

Ye Jin took in her subtle expressions and said, “Sorry. I had an urgent matter to attend to after last night and had no choice but to leave you in the room alone.”

Yu Liuxue muttered sulkily, “Oh.”

Silence fell between them—until it was abruptly interrupted.

Ye Jin was the first to notice two figures approaching from behind Yu Liuxue. She flicked her gaze upward, her red lips quirking slightly but otherwise paid no attention.

Song Yiqiu, having familiarized herself with the novel’s plot, had also studied the major figures in this world after becoming Yi Ting’s secretary. She recognized Ye Jin’s face even before getting close.

In the original story, Ye Jin’s sexual orientation seemed to lean toward women, though the author never elaborated. However, many readers shipped a Song Yiqiu × Ye Jin pairing. Remembering how the book described Ye Jin approaching her several times in private, Song Yiqiu felt an uncomfortable shudder run through her.

Ye Jin met her gaze with cool indifference, puzzled by the hostility in Song Yiqiu’s eyes.

Wasn’t this their first time meeting?

Yi Ting had no choice but to acknowledge Ye Jin. Adhering to the principle of “better to get along than to clash,” he approached, planning to exchange greetings. Though they were business rivals, he genuinely admired Ye Jin’s competence and tactics. But as he got closer, he spotted Yu Liuxue.

She was facing away from him, absently twisting a napkin between her slender, fair fingers, showing no intention of looking up.

Yi Ting’s expression darkened slightly.

“Miss Zhenzhen.” Song Yiqiu greeted in a gentle voice. Though she addressed her respectfully, inwardly, she was filled with disdain. A cuckoo occupying another’s nest—living off everything that rightfully belonged to her. One day, she would make Yu Liuxue pay back double for all these years of indulgence.

Yu Liuxue instinctively looked up. Oh! A savior had arrived!

Though she disliked Song Yiqiu, she would much rather spar with her in a battle of wits than sit in silence with Ye Jin.

However, when she turned around, she saw an unexpected and unwelcome guest standing beside Song Yiqiu.

Yu Liuxue: “…”

Right. This was an old-school melodramatic CEO romance where the domineering male lead’s wife runs off pregnant. How could Song Yiqiu not have Yi Ting hovering around her?

Yu Liuxue instantly lost interest. She responded half-heartedly, “Oh, you’re here.”

…That was it?

Yi Ting felt a flicker of displeasure. He knew this girl had grown up spoiled, always treating him as her fiancé. But lately, she was becoming increasingly unreasonable.

He signaled for Song Yiqiu to take the seat next to Ye Jin while he pulled out the chair beside Yu Liuxue and sat down.

Then, he said, “Waiter, add more dishes.”

The waiter immediately approached with a bright smile, menu in hand.

Yu Liuxue blinked blankly. “…?”

What are you guys doing? I just wanted to eat my meal in peace! Can I not?

To her utter despair, not only did Ye Jin show no intention of leaving, but Yi Ting and Song Yiqiu also seemed ready to settle in for a free meal. Yu Liuxue’s eye twitched violently. “None of you have eaten yet?”

Ye Jin nodded. Yi Ting nodded. Then, after a slight hesitation, Song Yiqiu also nodded and added softly, “President Yi just finished a business meeting and didn’t have time to eat.”

Yu Liuxue: “…” Fine. Whatever makes you happy.

Ye Jin’s tea-colored eyes remained fixed on Yu Liuxue. Song Yiqiu stole a quick glance at Ye Jin before hastily looking away, internally praying that Ye Jin wouldn’t strike up a conversation with her.

Her slight unease didn’t go unnoticed by both Yi Ting and Ye Jin. They turned to look at her simultaneously.

Song Yiqiu stiffened slightly but forced a smile. “What’s wrong?”

Yi Ting assumed she was having period cramps and asked, “Did you take any medicine?”

Song Yiqiu’s face flushed slightly. Lowering her head shyly, she murmured, “Not yet.”

Ye Jin withdrew her gaze. This time, she truly felt it, yet she still couldn’t understand where Song Yiqiu’s subtle hostility toward her stemmed from. Her eyes then landed on Yu Liuxue, who was watching the show with great interest, completely unconcerned about Ye Jin’s probing gaze. Her small eyes flitted between Yi Ting and Song Yiqiu, looking utterly satisfied.

Ye Jin frowned slightly. Could it be because of Yu Liuxue?

The dishes were soon served. Yi Ting ate heartily as if no one else was present, and aside from the somewhat awkward atmosphere among the four of them, the scene was quite harmonious. Meanwhile, Song Yiqiu’s mind was racing with one question—why hadn’t the vicious supporting female character gotten into a car accident and ended up in the hospital? The plot had deviated from its original trajectory, making her feel extremely uneasy. Now that she had finally found an opportunity to meet Yu Liuxue, she deliberately asked with hidden intentions, “Zhenzhen, you haven’t looked well since yesterday. Did something happen?”

As soon as she said this, the other two at the table immediately turned their inquiring gazes toward Yu Liuxue.

Yu Liuxue: “……” Being stared at by two domineering CEOs at the same time—too scared to move.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. So, Song Yiqiu couldn’t sit still anymore and was already trying to stir things up?

Yu Liuxue smiled gently. “A lot has happened, indeed.”

“But it’s all family matters, so it’s not convenient to share with outsiders.”

Song Yiqiu was instantly furious. She bit her lip lightly, putting on a pitiful expression as she looked at Yi Ting, as if complaining. Outsiders? Song Yiqiu nearly bit through her lip. She was the real daughter of the Bai family, while Bai Zhenzhen was the truly irrelevant outsider!

Seeing his secretary’s pitiful gaze, Yi Ting immediately spoke up for Song Yiqiu. “Zhenzhen, don’t be rude.”

Yu Liuxue couldn’t help but cast a doubtful glance at Yi Ting. Meanwhile, Ye Jin leisurely swallowed her bite of steak before speaking indifferently, “Zhenzhen isn’t feeling well, President Yi, so perhaps don’t reprimand her.”

Yi Ting was momentarily stunned.

Ye Jin put down her knife and fork and casually glanced at Song Yiqiu before saying coolly, “Since President Yi’s heart is preoccupied with someone else, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t notice such minor matters.”

Yi Ting felt that not only was his fiancée Bai Zhenzhen unusually aggressive today, but even Ye Jin seemed like she had taken a bullet—ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

However, his straight male thinking didn’t help him analyze the situation. Instead, he turned to Yu Liuxue. “Where are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Yu Liuxue looked at Ye Jin, whose expression remained indifferent, as if she were entirely uninvolved.

Yu Liuxue replied perfunctorily, “No need.”

At this point, the conversation no longer had anything to do with Song Yiqiu, yet she still interjected. She shifted uneasily, her face full of guilt. “I’m sorry, Zhenzhen. This is all my fault. If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.”

Yi Ting immediately pressed on, “Yesterday, when you asked to meet me, you said you had something very important to tell me. What was it?”

What else could it be? Of course, she had planned to drug him.

Ye Jin actually hoped Yu Liuxue would take this chance to reveal their relationship, but it was clear this was just her wishful thinking.

Yu Liuxue blinked innocently, then mimicked Song Yiqiu’s delicate and pitiful expression. “I just wanted to invite you over for dinner this weekend, that’s all. Nothing major.”

Song Yiqiu bit her lip again. This supporting female character—where was the big-breasted airhead described in the book? She hadn’t mentioned a single word about what happened after the drug took effect. Even though Song Yiqiu was itching with curiosity, she had no idea what Yu Liuxue had actually gone through yesterday. It’s not like she could resort to torture and pry her mouth open to force the truth out, could she?

Suddenly, Ye Jin said, “I haven’t seen Teacher Bai in a long time either. I’ll visit him in a few days.”

Yu Liuxue was instantly dumbfounded. Why are you suddenly involving my dad in this?

Yet Ye Jin had no intention of explaining. The meal eventually ended with Song Yiqiu suddenly feeling unwell. Yu Liuxue watched calmly as Yi Ting held Song Yiqiu in his arms. Song Yiqiu’s face was flushed, and she looked flustered as she tried to explain, “Zhenzhen, it’s not what you think. There’s nothing between President Yi and me.”

Yi Ting cut her off directly, saying, “Yiqiu isn’t feeling well. I’ll take her home first. I’ll cover this meal.”

Yu Liuxue let out a simple “Oh,” showing no reaction.

Ye Jin observed her for a while before speaking casually, “Are you still in pain?”

Yu Liuxue was instantly choked by her sip of water, coughing violently as she turned her head away. Ye Jin stood up, handed her a tissue, and walked over to gently pat her back. Yu Liuxue coughed until her little face turned red, then couldn’t help but tell the system: “Why is Ye Jin so…”

She thought for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable word to describe her.

Ye Jin whispered, “Be careful, don’t drink so fast.”

With the two irrelevant people gone, Ye Jin seemed to have unlocked a chatterbox mode. “Yesterday, after you fainted in my arms, you clutched my clothes tightly, rubbing your head against my neck over and over. Your body was burning up, your face was red, your breath was hot, and in your daze, you even snuggled up to me on your own…”

Shut up!

Yu Liuxue’s toes curled in embarrassment, and she couldn’t lift her head.

In broad daylight, she whispered to the system, “System, don’t you think… Ye Jin is flirting with me?”

【I do think so. The female lead of this world is such a rogue!】

Calling it public humiliation wouldn’t even be an exaggeration. For the first time ever, Yu Liuxue’s face turned red. Ye Jin’s eyes glimmered with a hint of amusement, but she tactfully changed the subject. “Let me take you home.”

No, I don’t want to go home, and I definitely don’t want you to take me. Let go, I can walk on my own.

Yet, after just one meal, less than two hours later, Yu Liuxue was once again forcibly escorted home by Ye Jin.

When the housekeeper took Yu Liuxue from Ye Jin’s hands, she was surprised. “Oh dear, Zhenzhen’s face is burning!”

Yu Liuxue expressionlessly explained, “I might have a fever.”

Ye Jin’s smile deepened. “I’ll call a doctor for you…”

Before she could finish, Yu Liuxue immediately interrupted, “No, no, I’ll just take some cold medicine and sleep it off.”

She turned and ran. Since her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, she almost tripped while running on flat ground.

Yu Liuxue sprawled lazily on the bed like Ge You and sighed, “I really miss the days when we were all pure and kind.”

Ye Jin’s shamelessness far exceeded Yu Liuxue’s expectations, causing the meticulously planned ‘coincidental’ meeting to fall through just like that. Two days later, the system sensed something was off. 【Host, didn’t you say you were going to wake up early to ‘accidentally’ run into Ye Jin and deepen your relationship with her?】

Yu Liuxue remained motionless and lazily explained, “It’s still early. There’s no rush; I’ll carry out the plan later.”

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t get into a car accident, so for the time being, Bai Father and Bai Mother couldn’t verify their daughter’s authenticity through blood type. Even though Song Yiqiu was anxious, there was nothing she could do. Yu Liuxue calculated with her fingers and determined there was still plenty of time, so she instead comforted the system, saying, “You modern people live way too fast. We should take life as leisurely as the ancients did—enjoy it freely so we won’t have regrets when we’re old.”

The system: 【…Please stop explaining. The truth is, you’re just scared of Ye Jin.】

Yu Liuxue had been completely seen through by the system, but that didn’t stop her from staying home to rest and casually ordering a huge pile of random books online.

The housekeeper signed for over ten packages for Yu Liuxue. After unpacking them, she carried the stack of books upstairs to Yu Liuxue’s room and said, “Zhenzhen, your deliveries have arrived.”

Yu Liuxue immediately jumped up from the bed. “Put them on my desk!”

The melodramatic drama of this world was as captivating as ever, and Yu Liuxue couldn’t resist falling into the pit. The housekeeper glanced disdainfully at the colorful book covers and thought to herself: If the master and madam saw these books, who knows if they’d get so angry that they’d leave Miss home alone again and happily go on another vacation together.

Three days later, Bai Father and Bai Mother returned, just in time for Yi Ting’s scheduled dinner visit. Bai Mother was a slightly plump woman with a strong presence. She took a gift for her daughter out of the suitcase and said, “Mom’s tired from traveling. You go play by yourself.”

After saying that, the couple coldly bypassed their daughter and prepared to go upstairs to rest.

Yu Liuxue: “…” These are my biological parents, huh?

She held up an exquisitely crafted doll and called out to them, “Dad, Mom, Yi Ting and Ye Jin are coming over for dinner today. They should be arriving soon.”

Both parents stopped in their tracks. Bai Mother was momentarily stunned. “Why is Yi Ting coming over?”

Yu Liuxue shrugged. “What else? To break off our engagement, of course. Yi Ting has fallen for another girl. He says he’s only ever seen me as a sister.”

Bai Mother immediately flew into a rage. “This marriage was arranged by your grandfathers! He has no right to back out!”

Yu Liuxue blinked innocently. “Mom, if you want him to marry his ‘sister,’ wouldn’t that be incest?”

Bai Mother was so furious that she rolled her eyes. “He can forget about it! Even if he doesn’t like you, he must marry you! No matter what, you are his legitimate fiancée, and I will never agree to breaking off the engagement.”

Bai Mother was a textbook strong woman. Since she had spoken, Yi Ting wouldn’t be able to end the engagement so easily.

Bai Father, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, “Why is Ye Jin coming too?”

Yu Liuxue blinked in confusion. “Isn’t she your student, Dad? She said she hasn’t visited you in a long time.”

Bai Mother and Bai Father exchanged glances, both seeing deep confusion in each other’s eyes. When did I/you become that Ye family girl’s teacher?

A few minutes later, Bai Father suddenly recalled, “Oh, I remember now! I taught her calligraphy for half a day when she was a child!”

Yu Liuxue: “…?”

That counts too?

Bai Father was clearly just as puzzled. However, since Ye Jin had invited herself over, she might have something important to discuss and had simply found an excuse.

With guests coming over, the couple went upstairs to freshen up. Right on time, the guests arrived. However, unexpectedly, Song Yiqiu came along with Yi Ting.

Song Yiqiu’s eyes lit up when she saw Bai Father and Bai Mother, and her excitement was evident. It wasn’t until Yu Liuxue glanced at her indifferently that she barely managed to suppress her emotions and softly greeted, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”

Bai Mother subtly furrowed her brows. From the moment they entered, Yi Ting’s concern and care for this girl had already exceeded normal boundaries. Even with just a little thought, she could tell that this woman was the vixen who had seduced her daughter’s fiancé.

Bai Mother maintained a calm expression and said to Yi Ting, “Have a seat.”

Then, she casually asked, “And she is…?”

Yi Ting explained, “Yiqiu is my secretary. We just finished work, and the driver didn’t have time to take her back to the office, so she came with me. I hope you don’t mind, Auntie.”

Bai Mother sneered inwardly. Of course I mind.

However, on the surface, she became a bit more enthusiastic and pretended to be concerned as she asked Song Yiqiu, “Oh? So you’re Yi Ting’s secretary? Yi Ting is very capable. If you can be his secretary, you must be quite talented yourself.”

Receiving such warmth and goodwill from her biological parents, Song Yiqiu felt a surge of joy and quickly responded, “I’m not that amazing. I was just lucky to catch President Yi’s eye and earn his appreciation.”

Yu Liuxue, who was sitting next to Bai Father cracking sunflower seeds, immediately interjected, “That’s right. Yi Ting takes Song Miss everywhere he goes now, which just proves that he really values her—both as a person and in her work.”

Song Yiqiu cast a slightly smug glance at Yu Liuxue, as if saying, Of course! I’m far better than you, the good-for-nothing, spoiled villainess.

Unaware that she was secretly looking down on her own biological daughter, Bai Mother grew even more displeased.

Now that she had confirmed what she wanted to know, Bai Mother’s tone turned indifferent. “The more outstanding a person is, the more they must resist temptation. Otherwise, they might end up with nothing in the end.”

Her words were a double-edged warning—one aimed at Yi Ting, the other at Song Yiqiu.

Song Yiqiu’s face instantly darkened. Her heart ached as she thought, I am your real daughter, yet you’re treating me like a mistress who seduced your daughter’s fiancé! You’re warning me as if I were a homewrecker! If you knew the truth, would you regret saying this to me now?

Song Yiqiu’s face turned slightly pale. Yi Ting couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Uncle, Auntie, I came today because I have something I want to say to you both…”

“Teacher.” A cool and crisp voice interrupted Yi Ting.

Ye Jin walked in from the entrance, carrying a large pile of items. Father Bai and Mother Bai exchanged glances before quickly getting up to welcome her warmly. “Ye Jin, you’re here.”

Although their relationship with Ye Jin was somewhat distant and even inexplicably awkward, Father Bai never expected that the young girl he had taught for only half a day would remember his kindness for over twenty years. He was deeply moved. His attitude became even more cordial. “You didn’t need to bring anything. Just coming is enough! Come, sit.”

Ye Jin smiled faintly. “I heard that, Teacher, your rheumatism has been severe. These are medicinal patches I specifically bought from abroad. They’re particularly effective when the weather changes suddenly.”

Then, she handed a few other boxes to Mother Bai. “These are for you, Madam. I prepared some small gifts for you. I hope you’ll like them.”

Though she called them small gifts, when Mother Bai opened them, she found that in addition to cosmetics, there were also many experience and lifetime free-use cards for renowned medical beauty treatments. Her face lit up with a smile. The love of beauty is universal, especially at her age, when she was teetering on the edge of aging. This young woman was truly thoughtful.

Seeing how coldly they treated her while warmly welcoming Ye Jin, Song Yiqiu couldn’t help but feel a little resentful.

Meanwhile, Yu Liuxue sat with her legs crossed, watching the drama unfold. The more she watched, the more she felt that Ye Jin was playing up her act even more than Song Yiqiu.

Since Ye Jin had interrupted him, it wasn’t the right time for Yi Ting to continue speaking. He patted Song Yiqiu’s hand lightly and said in a low voice, “If you’re not feeling well, go back to the office and rest first.”

Song Yiqiu snapped out of her daze and shook her head weakly. “President Yi, I’m fine.”

Seeing this, Mother Bai became even more irritated.

“Zhenzhen, since Yi Ting rarely visits, peel an apple for him.”

Before Yi Ting could refuse, Yu Liuxue flatly said, “If he wants to eat, he can peel it himself.”

Yi Ting: “…”

Mother Bai: “…” If you weren’t my daughter, I would’ve beaten you by now.

Eager to impress Mother Bai, Song Yiqiu quickly picked up an apple and a fruit knife. “Auntie, I’ll peel it for President Yi. How could I trouble Zhenzhen with something like this?”

Mother Bai narrowed her eyes. Was this a jab at her daughter for being spoiled and never doing chores?

Yu Liuxue smiled faintly. “Then, thank you.”

Seeing an opportunity, Ye Jin interjected, “What do you want to eat?”

Yu Liuxue instinctively replied, “Grapes.”

Without hesitation, Ye Jin picked up a plate of grapes, carefully peeled one, and held it up to Yu Liuxue’s mouth. Yu Liuxue hesitated—if she opened her mouth, she feared Ye Jin would take it as an invitation to push even further. In the end, it was Father Bai’s cough that made her cautiously bite into the grape, making sure not to touch Ye Jin’s fingers as she pulled it into her mouth.

Mother Bai sighed inwardly. How could she have a daughter who ate grapes like a donkey grazing on grass?

Watching this scene, Song Yiqiu felt a pang of heartache and suddenly harbored some resentment toward Yi Ting. Ye Jin was willing to peel grapes for Yu Liuxue, yet here she was—clearly in an ambiguous relationship with Yi Ting—carefully peeling an apple for him in front of her biological parents, while he did nothing. Distracted by these thoughts, she accidentally cut her own finger.

Yi Ting immediately pulled out a tissue to wrap around her finger. Seeing this, Mother Bai glanced at the maid, who quickly fetched the household first-aid kit and took over from Yi Ting, simply bandaging Song Yiqiu’s wound.

Yu Liuxue’s eyes gleamed—what a great opportunity!

“Yiqiu, your fingers have such a pretty color. What’s your blood type?”

Everyone: “…?”

Song Yiqiu was momentarily stunned before delight filled her heart. Wasn’t this a golden opportunity? She quickly answered, “I’m Type O, but both my parents are Type AB. Isn’t that amazing?”

Yu Liuxue dramatically gasped. “Yeah! That’s absolutely incredible!”

Mother Bai froze slightly. Type O? But both she and her husband were Type O as well.

However, she didn’t dwell on it. The thought passed quickly.

Seeing that Mother Bai wasn’t suspicious at all, Song Yiqiu felt a bit disappointed. But she quickly regained her composure. “Zhenzhen, what’s your blood type?”

Yu Liuxue grinned. “I don’t know either. Maybe one day I’ll get into a car accident and need an emergency blood transfusion. Then I’ll find out.”

Father Bai immediately scolded her sternly, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Yu Liuxue shrugged and made a zipping motion over her mouth. She then regretfully watched Song Yiqiu’s expression. The opportunity was right there, but she completely missed it. Ah, child, you’ve truly let your mother down!

Since she had let the chance slip away, Song Yiqiu remained in low spirits throughout the meal. Seeing her like this, Mother Bai grew even more displeased with her. Such impatience—if she managed to stay by Yi Ting’s side, it was probably through some underhanded means. As the official wife, Mother Bai detested women who seduced men using cheap tricks.

So, as soon as dinner ended, she hurriedly sent Yi Ting and Song Yiqiu away. Meanwhile, Ye Jin—who had spoken little yet was meticulous and thoughtful in her actions—was invited to stay.

However, since neither of them was particularly familiar with Ye Jin, they ended up leaving her with Yu Liuxue.

Yu Liuxue protested unhappily, “Mom, how could you do this?!”

I’m not that close to Ye Jin either!

Ye Jin, smiling enigmatically, watched as Yu Liuxue jumped up from the couch in frustration. She then offered, “I brought some medicine for back pain. Want me to apply it for you?”

Yu Liuxue turned around and politely declined. “No need. I feel just fine.”

I strongly suspect you just want to take advantage of me.

The system promptly reminded Yu Liuxue, 【Host, don’t forget your mission is to marry Ye Jin.】

Yu Liuxue: “…” Suddenly, I feel like inviting Ye Jin to watch a movie together.

Ye Jin didn’t refuse. Yu Liuxue had a projector in her room. Initially, she had no particular thoughts about Ye Jin, but then she turned around and saw Ye Jin sitting at the edge of her bed, wearing indoor slippers, neatly dressed, and exuding a calm and disciplined aura.

She couldn’t help but sigh. “Ye Jin, with that upright, self-restrained demeanor of yours, you’re just too easy to push down!”

“Look at her hands—so beautiful. I bet they’d be perfect for unfastening my bra clasp.”

Ye Jin had been quietly observing the colorful book covers on Yu Liuxue’s bookshelf when she suddenly sensed some ambiguous thoughts directed at her.

Their gazes met, and a thought flickered through Ye Jin’s mind—was Yu Liuxue hinting at something?

So, Ye Jin stood up, walked over to Yu Liuxue, and took the disc from her hand for a glance. It was an R-rated movie.

The moment Yu Liuxue saw the flushed woman on the cover, she nearly collapsed inside. Bai Zhenzhen, why on earth do you have something like this in your room?!

Ye Jin, don’t misunderstand! I just grabbed a random disc!

Ye Jin tossed the disc onto the bed. Yu Liuxue suddenly felt herself being gently embraced—Ye Jin’s figure was soft and warm, her scent was sweet, her breath even sweeter, and every cell in her body seemed to be seductively drawing her in.

Soon, a husky voice whispered in her ear, “Shall we?”
