Late at night

    In the cozy and elegant bedroom, Ye Wan Ning was pinned on the bed by Li Cang, her hands twisted behind her back, struggling like a caterpillar.

    "Let go of me! Or I''ll scream!!"

    Pressing her back with his knee, Li Cang gave a malicious smile.

    "Have you forgotten about the anti-peeping spell array you set up in this villa? Scream all you want! Even if you scream your lungs out, no one outside will hear!"

    "Don''t go too far! Shui is still downstairs!"

    It was better not to mention this. Mentioning it only made Li Cang angrier, and he slapped Ye Wan Ning''s butt hard, causing ripples to spread.

    "Ow~"

    "Do you admit you''re wrong?!"

    "I admit it! But I''ll do it again next time!"

    Seeing Ye Wan Ning sticking her neck out defiantly, a mix of cowardice and fierceness on her face, Li Cang felt his temple throbbing.

    "Spreading rumors all day! You''ll be fully responsible if I can''t get married in the future!"

    "If I have to be responsible, then I will! I''ll marry you!"

    Hearing this, Li Cang was so angry he laughed.

    "You''re a girl, how are you going to marry me?!"

    "It''s the 21st century, just find a country that allows same-sex marriage..."

    Before Li Cang could react, Ye Wan Ning added.

    "Oh, and you''re responsible for the bride price, at least 380,000~"

    "..."

    Not expecting her to still be joking at a time like this, Li Cang remained silent for a long time, blue veins popping on his forehead, and finally burst out with a classic curse.

    "Fuck!!!!!!!!!"

    Smack smack smack~

    "Ah! Stop hitting! If it really doesn''t work out, I''ll let Shui marry you!"

    "Huh???"

    "We agreed to share blessings and hardships. You see, I''ve even shared half of my little white mouse experiments with you, aren''t I a great friend?!"

    Seeing Ye Wan Ning with a righteous demeanor, Li Cang was completely baffled.

    He always knew this woman was crazy, but never thought her illness was this severe!

    This nonsense can even be split in half?

    "If you''re hungry and eat carelessly, that''s your business, don''t drag me into it!"

    Hearing Li Cang''s cold response, Ye Wan Ning gave a sly smile.

    "Don''t think I didn''t notice, you had a moment of heart flutter this afternoon!"

    As if his secret was exposed, a hint of shame and anger surfaced in Li Cang''s cold eyes, gritting his teeth.

    "I did not!"

    "Cangcang, you know my sensing abilities, they can''t be wrong~"

    "..."

    After a long silence, Li Cang retorted angrily.

    "I said no means no!"

    "There''s no one else here, you might as well open your heart. Then I''ll be the main wife, and you can be the concubine, living happily as a family of three, wouldn''t that be nice?"

    "Oh, by the way, being a concubine requires a dowry, at least 380,000~"

    After a deathly silence, Li Cang erupted in silence, grabbing the nearby pillow and pressing it against Ye Wan Ning''s face.

    "Go die!"

    "Mmm mmm mmm~~"

    Bang bang bang~ S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    There was a loud banging from the ceiling. Zhu Haomiao, who was cuddling a mink before sleep, leaned against the headboard, his lower body covered with a blanket, and looked up, frowning in confusion.

    What are those two doing upstairs?

    Demolishing the place?

    His hands stopped, and the mink in his arms, not feeling its master''s caress, whimpered and nudged him.

    "Chirp~"

    Pet me! Pet me! Pet me now!

    Redirected by his pet, Zhu Haomiao resumed petting the mink while gossiping about the commotion upstairs.

    But he wondered if the soundproofing was too good, as he could only hear muffled banging, like someone desperately struggling.

    Soon, the noise upstairs quieted down, and just as Zhu Haomiao thought everything had ended, the door to his bedroom suddenly swung open.

    Wearing pajamas with messy hair, Ye Wan Ning burst in, eyes darting around frantically until she fixed her gaze on the bedding below him.

    "Master Sister, you..."

    A bad feeling rose in his heart, but before he could ask the reason, Ye Wan Ning lifted the corner of the bedspread and expertly slipped in.

    "..."

    Don''t do this, I''m not that kind of person...

    At least not for ten thousand bucks!

    That''s a different price!

    There need to be more money!

    Feeling Zhu Haomiao''s struggles, Ye Wan Ning pressed her face against his lower abdomen, trying to blend with his lower body, gently pinching him.

    "Save me! Don''t let Cangcang find out!"

    "I can''t, I..."

    "Ten thousand bucks!"

    Face turned serious, Zhu Haomiao instantly steadied, patting his chest.

    "You can count on me!"

    Though he didn''t understand what was going on, as long as you pay, everything is negotiable!

    Adjusting the contours of the blanket to make the bed appear as if it only had him, he barely calmed his breathing when the bedroom door was swung open again.

    A gaze as cold as the icy winds from the Extreme North swept through the room, and Li Cang, wearing cotton hot pants with long legs dazzlingly pale, entered, looking around like a hawk.

    "Have you seen Ye Wan Ning?"

    "Huh?"

    His attention fully captured by those glowing white legs, it took Zhu Haomiao two seconds to react, hurriedly shaking his head.

    "No... haven''t seen..."

    Suspiciously staring into Zhu Haomiao''s eyes, noticing his gaze drifting uncontrollably to her legs, Li Cang rolled her eyes at him.

    Little lecher!

    Who''d be smitten by this small fry?!

    All blame lies with that crazy woman Ye Wan Ning spreading rumors!

    I''d rather starve, die outside than eat this pig slop!

    After another sweep of the room with no anomaly found, Li Cang half-heartedly closed the door and left.

    As soon as he left, Ye Wan Ning quickly poked her head out from under the blanket, sighing in relief.

    "Master..."

    "Shh!"

    Stopping Zhu Haomiao, Ye Wan Ning raised her hand and drew a rune in the air, conjuring a mysterious symbol out of thin air.

    Then, the translucent blue rune suddenly expanded, colliding with the surrounding walls, floor, and ceiling, dispersing like water waves, finally connecting to form a closed square barrier.

    As the barrier fully formed, Ye Wan Ning''s tense body gradually relaxed, exhaling a long breath.

    "Master Sister, what exactly is happening with you two?"

    Just now, Li Cang''s aura felt murderous!

    And in Zhu Haomiao''s acquaintance with the two, the usually calm Li Cang seldom exhibited such intense emotional fluctuations.

    It''s likely this madcap Master Sister is stirring up trouble again...

    Staring at the bright, watery eyes in his arms, Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized their pose was a bit intimate.

    Amitabha Buddha, lust is emptiness, emptiness is lust!

    Silently reciting the Heart Clarity Spell, Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath, diverting his focus with effort, preventing the Book of Black from giving him a chilling warning.

    On the other hand, seemingly oblivious to how her actions tested human nature, Ye Wan Ning squirmed out from under the covers, sat beside the boy on the bed, and complained with grievance.

    "I don''t know either, I only told Cangcang we''d share the blessings, and he got mad."

    Zhu Haomiao: "..."
