Xu Yi in the shadows: "!!!"
Peo... peony flowers!!!
Good god! This woman isn't just acting strange today—she must've been cursed or something!
Daring to compare the boss to a peony flower!
Even though the boss's face was truly breathtakingly beautiful—so much so that even a man like him felt his heart stir—those who knew him well understood just how brutal his true nature was.
Xu Yi stole a cautious glance at his boss, but unfortunately, he couldn't read a single hint of emotion in those dark, unfathomable eyes.
Was the boss... angry or not?
At this moment, Gu Yueze looked at the girl with her hideous appearance and outrageous words, and his last shred of patience snapped. "Ver... very well! Since you're so stubborn and refuse to listen to reason, don't blame me for not warning you today! Ye Wanwan, I've done everything I could for you!"
Ye Wanwan watched Gu Yueze's retreating figure, her expression dazed.
In her past life, what had awaited her at this moment was Si Yehan's overwhelming rage. This time, she had successfully changed the course of her life—Gu Yueze was gone, and Si Yehan...
That familiar aura had disappeared without a trace at some point.
Had she passed this test?
Si Yehan's temperament was unpredictable, and Ye Wanwan didn't dare let her guard down. After calming her emotions, she turned around and walked back into the house.
The moment she stepped into the living room, that familiar aura permeated every pore of her body, leaving no gap untouched.
"Come here."
On the sofa, the man's obscure gaze spread over her like a net, overwhelming and inescapable.
Ye Wanwan stood rooted to the spot.
Even though she had been reborn, the fear etched into her bones for this man remained unchanged.
But if she wanted to change her fate, she had to overcome this fear.
Ye Wanwan pinched the palm of her hand to stay alert and slowly walked toward the man.
As soon as she drew near, she was suddenly pulled onto his lap. The next second, a sharp pain shot through her lips—
His thin lips, cold as ice, pressed down firmly, nuzzling and nibbling every inch of her lips without sparing a single corner...
Ye Wanwan didn't dare move an inch, forcing herself not to resist, not to provoke him.
Yet she couldn't help but think: the lipstick she'd applied today was even more exaggerated than last time, its color as vivid as if she'd been poisoned. Didn't it bother him? How could he kiss her so eagerly without any qualms?
Ever since she'd met Si Yehan at eighteen, for two whole years, she had used all kinds of extreme methods to hide her true appearance, hoping that at least one of them would disgust him.
If she had known this would happen, why had she tormented herself into looking like this—neither human nor ghost?
At the thought, Ye Wanwan suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Had she really spaced out in Si Yehan's arms?
When she came to her senses, she was even more shocked. She felt a heaviness around her neck—Si Yehan was holding her close like a pillow, his head resting on her neck at some point. His hot breath fanned her sensitive collarbone, steady and long.
He was asleep...
How was that possible!?
Ye Wanwan didn't dare make a sound. She waited for half an hour, and when Si Yehan still showed no signs of moving, she tentatively called out, "Si Yehan..."
The man remained completely unresponsive.
He really was asleep!
Not far away, Xu Yi, who had been waiting at the door out of concern, saw this scene and widened his eyes, as if witnessing something inconceivable.
Ye Wanwan was equally astonished.
She clearly remembered that Si Yehan suffered from a severe sleep disorder. Moreover, his body had an abnormal resistance to drugs—most medications had no effect on him. Every time he wanted to fall asleep, he required professional psychologists to hypnotize him.
Worse still, not only did this man possess abnormally powerful mental fortitude, but his psychological defenses were also impenetrable, making him extremely difficult to hypnotize. On days when his mood was particularly bad, hypnosis was completely useless.
The Si family had hired countless famous doctors, but none of them had been able to solve the problem.
