Chapter 160 [Shi Yi 010] The tool-like feel is getting stronger and stronger.
Shi Wan glanced at him, put down her beer, took the bibimbap, stirred it with a spoon, scooped up a mouthful and put it in her mouth. Her stomach, which had been empty all day, was instantly filled.

I inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment, like when I cleared out my inventory for the first time through a live-streaming sales event.

She didn't quite understand where this feeling came from, but the bibimbap really satisfied her.

Since she started live streaming, her mealtimes have become irregular, and she often stays up late, so stomach problems are a minor issue for her.

After a few bites, she ate two more skewers of barbecue and then took a sip of ice-cold beer—it couldn't be more refreshing.

If she were at home, she could pet her cat, find an old movie, and then lie down.

Thinking this, she unconsciously glanced at the man next to her who was leaning back in his chair like he had no bones, in a lazy and casual posture, and realized that she hadn't touched anything on it from beginning to end.

If it weren't for the fact that it was takeout, she would have reasonably suspected that this guy had drugged it.

"You don't want to eat?"

"Eat later."

"Won't it get cold if we eat it later?" Shi Wan gave him a disdainful look, the beer in her mouth diluting the taste of the barbecue.

Yi Xu looked at her meaningfully, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, it's okay, I won't get cold."

Shi Wan only stared at him for two or three seconds before she understood what he meant. Anger flared in her eyes, and she put down the can of beer, grabbed the cushion next to her, and started to punch him.

Yi Xu chuckled, snatched the cushion from her hands with one hand, and wrapped the other around her waist, pulling her tightly into his arms. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you finished eating?"

"Now it's my turn."

Shi Wan had just opened her mouth when he sealed her lips with his.

She frowned instinctively and turned her head to avoid his kiss, but Yi Xu immediately followed, tightening his grip on her. "Focus, don't move."

"Don't..."

As soon as Shi Wan made a sound, he kissed her again.

Unable to dodge several times in a row, she couldn't stand it and took the opportunity to bite him.

Yi Xu gasped in pain, gritting his teeth, "Shi Wan!"

Don't kiss me!

Yi Xu narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning," Shi Wan said calmly. "Anything but the mouth."

To be honest, even Yi Xu, who has been a seasoned player in the dating scene for so many years, is a little confused about Shi Wan at this moment.

Everything was fine last time, wasn't it?

It didn't work this time either?

He didn't like kissing when he dated minor celebrities and internet personalities, but every time he saw Shi Wan, he inexplicably wanted to kiss her.

The previously tender atmosphere froze.

For some reason, Shi Wan felt a surge of irritation. She ran a hand through her hair, trying to pull away from his embrace, her voice tinged with coldness, "Never mind, let's just leave it at that for today..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yi Xu bit her collarbone.

Shi Wan cried out in pain, raising her hand to cover the bite mark, and said angrily, "Damn it? Are you a dog?!"

"Hmph, same to you. Didn't you make the first move?"

After saying that, Yi Xu simply picked her up horizontally, his face expressionless, no longer as casual and lazy as before, but exuding a cold and serious aura.

This night was destined to be filled with the smoke of battle.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next day, Shi Wan was awakened by her cell phone ringing while she was suffering from back pain.

It was a call from the company's legal department, saying they had received a joint lawyer's letter from the victims. Hearing this, her sleepy head cleared up a bit. She ran a few fingers through her messy hair. "Has Lin's Group issued a statement?"

"No, they're even suppressing the trending topics. Those victims probably came after us because of the Lin family's power, or maybe..."

The person on the other end of the phone was implying something.

But Shi Wan understood that the Lin family was trying to avoid risks and use 'Shi Shi Network Live Streaming Co., Ltd.' as a scapegoat and a target of cyberbullying.

Her mind raced for several seconds before she finally decided, "In that case, you should write a statement pointing out all the problems with the Lin family, post it on the company's official website, and then contact Attorney Song to have him draft a lawsuit to submit to the court."

The legal department representative hesitated for two seconds, then nodded. "Yes. I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Wan found the phone number of the public relations department head and quickly gave her orders.

Since the Lin family wants to suppress public opinion, then she should bring this matter to the forefront.

I refuse to believe that everyone in the world is blind.

He wants her to pay for his company's mistakes? He can dream on.

If you won't let me have an easy time, then nobody has an easy time!
The worst case scenario is that the fish will die and the net will fall apart!
After hanging up the phone again, she searched for the matter on Weibo and several short videos. Sure enough, the Lin family had covered it up extremely well.

I imagine that the lawyer's letters from those victims have arrived today, and by the afternoon at the latest, news about "Shishi" selling counterfeit and shoddy products causing six or seven girls to suffer from malicious hair loss will sweep across major online platforms.

The consequence, naturally, would be that they become the target of public criticism.

Wow, she really wants to make a voodoo doll right now and curse that bastard Lin Chaoyuan to death!
"Damn it, you son of a bitch, aren't you afraid of having a son without an anus?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more he wanted to curse. "The ox and horse rise and fall, the idiot remains loyal to the death, it's a pity the dung beetle didn't push him away. Damn it!"

After this incident, she was determined to go to the temple to pray, burn incense, and bathe to ward off evil and misfortune.

This is absolutely terrible luck!

Yi Xu was already awake when she received the first call. He had been listening silently and roughly understood what she meant. He took out his phone and searched for it, but didn't find anything relevant. Just as he frowned, he heard Shi Wan's last curse.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She seems to have a special talent for swearing, so she never repeats herself.

Shi Wan heard him whisper and turned to look at him, "What are you laughing at?"

"What happened? Do you need my help?"

Shi Wan paused, her gaze lingering on him for a few seconds.

Given Yi Xu's status, resolving this matter would be a piece of cake if he were to take action. The Lin family might not take her small self-media company seriously, but they would absolutely not dare to provoke the Yi family, one of the top three families in Beijing.

But then I thought, what is their relationship?

He has no obligation to help her, and she doesn't want to owe anyone a favor. Maintaining this one-sided relationship in bed is enough for them right now; going any deeper would be a bit inappropriate.

"Need not."

Shi Wan refused decisively, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went straight to the bathroom.

Yi Xu pursed her lips; this was the first time she had ever felt unwanted in a relationship.

I still feel quite uneasy and resentful.

He sent a message to his assistant, asking him to check what was going on at Shi Wan's company recently.

When Shi Wan finished washing up and came out, he asked, "What do you want to eat? Should we have the hotel deliver it or order takeout?"

"I'm not eating anymore, I'm going back to the company."

Shi Wan quickly packed her bag, picked it up, and left without even glancing at him.

Yi Xu: "..."

The sense of tooliness is becoming increasingly strong.

Does Young Master Yi have a tendency to be love-struck?
