The evil female is delicate and weak, and the four beastly husbands take turns feeding her.

Chapter 165 Contrast
Bo Jing and the others' actions further provoked Lin Zhijing, silencing all of Lin Zhijing's complaints.

Lin Zhijing pursed his thin lips, looking at the group of people opposite him who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. Venom was constantly being secreted in his mouth, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand, about to be crushed into powder in the next second.

He and they were clearly family, but now they acted like two opposing forces, and he was fighting alone.

"Ye Xi'an, you're really great."

After Lin Zhijing finished speaking, he turned around and rushed into the room, slamming the door shut with a deafening roar, leaving Ye Xi'an standing there bewildered.

No, wasn't she just trying to show off her female power? How did she make the situation so serious?

"What's going on? I think I did something wrong again?" Ye Xi'an looked at Lin Zhijing's door and quickly recalled what he had just done.

She just disciplined Lin Zhijing a little; what happened to the saying that females have a lot of power on the main planet?

“You’re right, he overstepped his bounds.” Ji Jiangci put his hand on Ye Xi’an’s shoulder and pushed her to sit on the sofa.

After Ye Xi'an sat down, Ji Jiangci leaned against her, his tone even gentler than before: "Don't overthink it. Females should restrain their family members like this. If everyone could do whatever they wanted, it would be chaos."

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Ji Jiangci stood up, but Ye Xi'an grabbed his hand.

Ye Xi'an slightly raised her chin to look at Ji Jiangci, who was much taller than her, and asked hesitantly, "Jiangci, are you alright?"

Yesterday, Ji Jiangci seemed to be in despair about the world, how did he change like this today?

Although Ji Jiangci currently appears gentle and refined, like a peerless gentleman, Ye Xi'an always sensed that he was somewhat excited, though he concealed it with gentleness.

Could Ji Jiangci have been driven mad?

Ji Jiangci was taken aback, a look of confusion on his face: "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ye Xi'an quickly waved her hand. "Go wash the dishes, I'll go check on Lin Zhijing."

"Don't go yet." He was afraid that Lin Zhijing might do something irreversible to Ye Xi'an, but seeing Ye Xi'an's oblivious expression, he changed his words: "Dr. Lin may be going through a rebellious phase. Let him have some peace and quiet."

A rebellious phase? Ye Xi'an's lips twitched slightly. Lin Zhijing actually had a rebellious phase? That's such a contrast.

"alright."

She decided to go see Lin Zhijing later.

After closing the door, Lin Zhijing stood motionless behind it, his entire being hidden in the darkness, appearing somewhat gloomy.

As the noise outside the door gradually subsided, and he heard the clattering sounds of the stairs and the opening and closing of doors from the other rooms near the door, Lin Zhijing finally moved.

He turned around in disappointment, his face almost touching the cold door panel.

"They really aren't going to try and comfort me."

"She wouldn't abandon me, would she?"

The thought of Ye Xi'an possibly not wanting him made Lin Zhijing's thin lips twitch helplessly.

No! He has to go find Ye Xi'an right now.

Lin Zhijing rushed to the cabinet and frantically searched for something. She grabbed a black silk shirt and rushed into the bathroom. When she came out, she was a completely different Lin Zhijing from before.

A black shirt, exuding a restrained allure, encased his toned and well-built physique, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, shapely buttocks, and long legs.

He raised his hand and straightened the collar of his black silk shirt, which was unbuttoned.

The fabric was smooth and pliable, clinging to his slightly cool skin, his fingertips brushing against his collarbone.

He rarely wore clothes of this material or style; lab coats or uniforms were his norm. But he understood all too well the allure of contrast to females.

He stepped onto the second floor, and as he was about to reach the top, he whispered, "Ye Xi'an."

Ye Xi'an was playing with his personal computer when he heard Lin Zhijing's voice and looked towards the stairwell. He could only see a tall shadow cast on the wall at the stairwell.

"This shadow is really beautiful," Ye Xi'an thought, "it's practically identical to the card character I'm chasing."

"Is something wrong?" Lin Zhijing bit her lower lip. "Nothing, but don't you want to talk to me?"

Ye Xi'an glanced at the match-3 game interface on her computer, then at the figure at the stairwell. Hmm, she didn't seem to have anything to talk to Lin Zhijing about.

"Um, I feel like we don't have much to say. Is there anything you'd like to say?"

Lin Zhijing gritted his teeth: "Whether I have something to say to you or not, do we have to talk like this?"

He couldn't see Ye Xi'an, and Ye Xi'an couldn't see him looking so handsome and charming at that moment.

Ye Xi'an clicked her tongue, thinking to herself that marriage was such a hassle. She had just had a moment of peace when someone disturbed her: "Then come up here."

Lin Zhijing breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Ye Xi'an wouldn't even let him go up to the second floor.

He checked his attire to make sure there were no problems, and then walked upstairs with the solemn steps unique to scientific researchers.

He then approached Ye Xi'an's bed step by step and stood in front of Ye Xi'an.

Ye Xi'an was looking down at her personal terminal when a pair of long legs suddenly entered her field of vision. Following the trouser leg upwards, Ye Xi'an saw Lin Zhijing's face, which was bare of makeup and covered in pink.

"Have you taken a shower?"

"Hmm." Lin Zhijing's deep gaze fell on Ye Xi'an's face, and he saw that Ye Xi'an looked puzzled.

"What do you want to say?"

"I……"

He spoke, his voice lower than usual.

"I apologize for raising my voice at you before."

Ye Xi'an blinked, her long eyelashes trembling.

She didn't say anything, she just looked at him.

Looking at his completely different attire compared to his usual style.

The silk shirt accentuated the broad shoulders and firm chest, with the neckline open to reveal a defined collarbone and a small patch of skin.

The trousers were also made of a smooth, draping material that hugged the long legs.

Her gray hair had been styled, unlike her usual casual look.

Even the phoenix eyes behind those silver-rimmed glasses seemed to have an indescribable meaning because of her outfit.

He rarely makes such a deliberate attempt to...show himself off.

Ye Xi'an sighed inwardly. Lin Zhijing's purpose was too obvious; his real intention was not what it seemed.

What apology? He clearly came here to seduce her.

Lin Zhijing noticed that she didn't speak, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly before relaxing.

Why don't you speak?

"Oh." Ye Xi pretended not to see his purpose and continued, "I didn't take this seriously at all. I thought you were going through a rebellious phase."

"So you don't need to apologize to me specifically for this, but you can't disobey me next time. In this family, I'm the boss!"

"Rebellious phase? Who said that?"

"Nobody said anything," Ye Xi'an said, not wanting to betray Ji Jiangci for the sake of family harmony. "I just think so myself."

Ye Xi'an moved to the right, gesturing for Lin Zhijing to sit down.

Lin Zhijing curled her lips, all her anger and grievances vanishing instantly, and sat down next to Ye Xi'an with the haughtiness of a cat.

So sleepy, so tired, having too many husbands is such a hassle!
