She looked up at him in surprise.

“Gu Yanzhou, you want me too, don’t you? I can feel it,” Sheng Miaomiao said. “So why don’t you take the initiative?”

Wei Lian’s voice came from outside the door. “Second miss, CEO Sheng asked me to come to take you home.”

“Miaomiao, it’s time for you to leave.”

“I’m not leaving until you answer me!”

Gu Yanzhou replied, “We’re not compatible.”

“How do you know that when we’ve not been together before?”

He sighed helplessly. “Miaomiao, you’ll find a better man… to love you.”

Sheng Miaomiao bit her lip. “Gu Yanzhou, you coward!”

She jumped off the bed angrily and rushed to the door, but Gu Yanzhou quickly pulled her back. “You haven’t changed yet.”

See, this was a sign that the man loved her. Even under such circumstances, he still cared about her appearance.

Sheng Miaomiao walked out of the room without looking back.

Gu Yanzhou reminded Wei Lian, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t make any mistakes.”

“Yes, CEO Gu.”

Wei Lian grumbled internally, ‘Why is everyone coming to hotels today?’

…

At Sheng Manor, Sheng Miaomiao stood obediently in the living room.

“Big brother.” She said obediently, “Why did you call me back?”

Sheng Hanye raised his eyebrows. “What do you think?”

She blinked deliberately. “I know, you miss me!”

“Nonsense!” He said with a stern face, “How could you do such a thing?”

Although Sheng Miaomiao was a little afraid of him, she said righteously, “I just want to pursue my happiness!”

“Did Jiang Niansheng teach you to say that?”

“That’s not all sister-in-law has taught me… I mean…” Sheng Miaomiao coughed a few times. “I didn’t say anything. Forget that.”

Sheng Hanye’s face became increasingly gloomy. It was one thing for Jiang Niansheng to create trouble but she had dragged Sheng Miaomiao down with her! Eventually, she’d make him so angry that he’d die!

“Big brother.” Sheng Miaomiao sighed when the cat’s out of the bag. “Sister-in-law told me every man is like this. Well, Gu Yanzhou is a man. Plus, you’d be happy when I’m with the man I love, right?”

“But is this how you pursue a man?”

Sheng Miaomiao sat beside him and held his arm in a fawning manner. “Brother, this is sister-in-law’s precious experience. Hasn’t she used the same move on you?”

Sheng Hanye’s mouth twitched.

Jiang Niansheng had used this move before? Why didn’t he know about it? Or did she use this move with another man?

With that in mind, Sheng Hanye’s expression became even uglier.

Sheng Miaomiao continued, “If Wei Lian didn’t suddenly appear, Gu Yanzhou would have kissed me… sigh, this is a missed opportunity!”

“What else did Jiang Niansheng teach you?”

“That is a girl’s secret. I can’t tell you.”

“A secret you say.” Sheng Hanye picked up the phone next to him and dialed a number. “Let Jiang Niansheng answer the phone.”

Soon, Jiang Niansheng’s voice was heard. “What? You just had me locked up and you miss me already?”

She didn’t sound like she had any shred of repentance. She really wasn’t afraid of him at all!

“Did you teach Miaomiao to seduce Gu Yanzhou?” Sheng Hanye asked. “Jiang Niansheng, I have no idea you are so good at dealing with men!”

She was stunned. How did Sheng Hanye know about this?

Did Sheng Miao fail?

“Were the lingerie your idea?”

“Erm…”

“Was that how you managed to take me down?”

“I didn’t actually say that…”

Sheng Hanye snorted and said, “Tell me, what other tricks you haven’t taught Miaomiao?”

“Actually I bought the lingerie myself.” Sheng Miaomiao explained, “But sister-in-law gave me the shop’s link. There are so many styles available.”

Jiang Niansheng, “…”

‘This little sister-in-law is going to kill me! Does she think I’m not in a miserable enough state?’

Sheng Hanye’s face was as cold as ice.

Sheng Miaomiao finally sensed the tension in the air and she laughed dryly. “Erm… Sister-in-law, I think you might need to use those tricks of yours. I am sure you’ll be able to appease my big brother. Good luck.”

She quickly ran away.

Jiang Niansheng was speechless again. Before Xia Caiwei could get to her, she was already slammed into the ground by Sheng Miaomiao!

She held her phone and did not make a sound.

After a long while, Sheng Hanye said indifferently, “If you’re willing to appear in front of me in that kind of clothing, I can consider… letting you come home.”

“Dream on!” Jiang Niansheng replied, “I’d rather die here than do that!”

He curled his lips. “Very good.” He liked her with a backbone.

…

Five minutes later.

“Mrs. Sheng,” the gatekeeper said politely, “This is all CEO Sheng’s idea. I’m just an errand boy. Please don’t be mad at me.”

“What’s wrong?”

“CEO Sheng said you’re having it too easy so…”

The next second, Jiang Niansheng heard the squeaking of a mouse. Some cockroaches crawled onto her feet. The guardian had opened the sewer. All kinds of bugs, rats, and critters that lived in the sewers crawled out.

Jiang Niansheng could handle one or two critters but when the whole room was crawling with them… Jiang Niansheng couldn’t stand it anymore!

She knocked on the room. “Fine, I’ll wear it! Sheng Hanye, you bastard!”

…

Inside the master bedroom of Sheng Manor, the gift box was placed at the end of the bed. The white lace and silk ribbons formed a set of lingerie that barely covered anything.

Sheng Hanye sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. “Well, what are you waiting for?”

“I have no idea you’re into this.”

“I wasn’t,” He raised his eyebrows and looked at her indifferently. “But you sound very experienced with such things so I am reluctantly trying it out with you.”

Jiang Niansheng said slowly, “I was only doing it for Miao Miao. I… I’ve never worn such a thing before.”

“You can not wear them.”

Her eyes lit up. “Really?”

“If you go back to the dark room again.”

Jiang Niansheng’s shoulders slumped. He was toying with her.

“Or…” Sheng Hanye got up and walked to the end of the bed. He hooked up the lace suspenders with his fingers. “Would you like me to help you?”

His voice was hoarse. After tasting her the day before, he became addicted to her.

Jiang Niansheng retreated. She couldn’t even speak clearly. “I-I can do it myself…”

Sheng Hanye forced her into a corner. There was no way out.

His breath lingered around her, the tips of their noses touching.

Jiang Niansheng had a premonition that she’d be tortured by him again that night. Why was this man so energetic.

But he did not do that.

Sheng Hanye lifted her chin with his fingers and looked at her for a long time. His gaze was complicated. “Does this mean I’ve gotten her?”

The lights were off when they did it yesterday night. He couldn’t look at Jiang Niansheng’s face because he was afraid he’d fall into the whirlpool of confusion.

After saying these baffling words, Sheng Hanye turned and left.

Jiang Niansheng stood there dazed for a long time. She blinked. ‘Strange, he is letting me off just like that?

‘O well. I guess I should call Sheng Miaomiao first.’

Jiang Niansheng touched her pocket and remembered that her cell phone had been confiscated by Flying Feather before she entered the dark room.
