A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Xie Lingfeng's ferocity frightened Meng Zhixue so much that she immediately let go, like a frightened little white rabbit, trembling and not daring to touch his wound again.

But soon, she shouted back even more fiercely.

"Why are you being so mean to me? You actually dared to yell at me?"

Feeling the man's pressure on her loosen considerably, Meng Zhixue pushed him forcefully against his chest, throwing him off. Then, she picked up a soft pillow and started hitting him with it.

While hitting him, she cried out in fear and trembling.

"You bastard, you pervert! Are you crazy?"

"I was sleeping soundly when you barged into my room, choked me, falsely accused me, and framed me! Have you no shame?!"

"No wonder Sister Xie Wei said you've never been in a relationship, never been with a woman. Who would like a perverted, serial killer like you?"

"If anyone likes you, it's because she's extremely nearsighted and hasn't seen through your despicable nature!"

"Not only does nobody like you, I don't like you either!"

"Zhou Yu is fake, but you're genuinely incompetent!"

"I'm going to beat you to death!"

"Waaah..."

"..."

Xie Lingfeng was hit many times and verbally abused. His eyes changed from initial wariness and disgust to surprise and speechlessness, and then to a half-smile.

When Meng Zhixue swung the pillow down again, he swiftly grabbed her slender wrist, as agile as a leopard, and with a flip, he pinned her down once more.

"Let me go!" Meng Zhixue struggled in shame and anger, kicking her legs wildly.

She raised her other hand to slap Xie Lingfeng, intending to give him a slap, but because of the size difference between them and her arm not being long enough, she hit him on the chin instead.

Meng Zhixue was taken aback when she missed, but continued.

"Heh! Again?" Xie Lingfeng chuckled dangerously, pressing his tongue against his cheek.

With a swift movement, he grabbed Meng Zhixue's two restless wrists, stacked them together, and pinned them above her head with one hand, preventing her from moving.

Because of this action, Meng Zhixue was forced to straighten her chest, a posture that made her both ashamed and angry, causing her cheeks to turn red and hot.

Without thinking, she was about to continue yelling at Xie Lingfeng, but his next action made her eyes widen and all the words stuck in her throat.

He forcefully controlled her hands with his left hand, while his right hand suddenly slipped under the hem of her pajamas and grasped her waist.

As if to make her suffer even more, he didn't rush to ignite her emotions by pushing her upwards or downwards, but simply held her hand.

But the cool smile in his narrow phoenix eyes, and the aggressive, predatory urge he exuded, as if he were hunting a wild beast, made her feel that danger was approaching step by step.

It made her heart pound and goosebumps rise all over her body.

"Xie, Xie Lingfeng, what do you want to do?" Meng Zhixue stammered nervously, her fierce demeanor vanished, and she was tense to the limit.

"What do I want to do? You..." Xie Lingfeng chuckled, looking down at her. After her expression changed, he slowly uttered the last two words, "...What do you think?"

Heaving breaths!

To die!

"..." Meng Zhixue bit her lip, suppressing her fear as she warned, "You, you'd better let me go! If you dare to bully me, I will definitely call the police!"

"Oh..." Xie Lingfeng tilted his head thoughtfully, "Then if I lock you in the basement and chain you up so you can never escape, will you be safe?"

"If you dare do that, you're illegally detaining someone. Aren't you afraid Sister Xie Wei will scold you?"

"Thank you for thinking of me, but don't worry, I have a plan. AI technology is quite advanced now. I can simulate your voice and call my sister, saying you want to quit your job, how about that?"

"No way! I wasn't thinking of you at all!" Meng Zhixue cursed, trembling with fear. "Xie Lingfeng, you pervert, let me go!"

"Yes, I'm a pervert." Xie Lingfeng admitted without hesitation, then said seriously, "But there's one thing you're wrong about."

Meng Zhixue asked warily, "What is it?"

Xie Lingfeng suddenly laughed.

The room was dark, and all colors were hidden in the darkness.

But when he looked down, he saw the little woman lying beneath him with her black hair disheveled, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, looking at him warily and fearfully, her snow-white and delicate skin like warm jade.

She was like a soft gardenia blooming in the night, seemingly pure and innocent, but in reality, she was scheming and every move she made carried a silent allure.

A clumsy trick, thinking he would fall for it?

A sudden surge of impatient malice welled up inside me.

Xie Lingfeng lifted Meng Zhixue by the waist with his large hand, pressing her soft body against him so she could feel him, and said wantonly and wickedly, "Let me tell you, I can do it! And I'm really good at it!"

Meng Zhixue: "...???"

A tiny figure screamed wildly in her mind, and her body suddenly froze. She dared not move, and dared not even think about what was pressing down on her through the fabric.

Was it better if I hadn't yelled at him?

"Can you feel it?" Xie Lingfeng asked.

Meng Zhixue: "...!!!"

Xie Lingfeng said, "I like honest people. As long as you tell the truth and swallow your nonsense from earlier, I will let bygones be bygones for your offense tonight and will forgive you for now."

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

She didn't believe he would keep his word at all; he might just be toying with her further. But she had no other choice but to take a gamble, and swallowing her shame and indignation, she said, "Yes, you're very capable."

"Hmm." Xie Lingfeng looked at her deeply, then smiled.

He slowly got out of bed, stood by the bedside to straighten his clothes, and turned to say, "I'll let you off the hook tonight, but I won't be so lenient next time."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Oh, since you like my bed so much, have a good rest tonight."

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Watching Xie Lingfeng leave, the door closed, and the room fell silent. Suddenly, she clutched her chest and let out a heavy sigh.

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she picked up her phone from the bedside table and saw it was three in the morning…

But I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

How could I possibly fall asleep?

Suddenly remembering something, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she got off the bed, starting to rummage through drawers and cabinets.

After rummaging through countless drawers, she finally found some odds and ends of personal belongings. Then, standing on a stool, she discovered a man's razor and a used toothbrush in a tall cabinet in the bathroom.

No wonder Xie Lingfeng said this was his room, his bed... So, she went into the wrong room?

Xie Wei said that the room at the end of the second-floor corridor that no one has ever lived in is the one across the street?

Meng Zhixue was stunned, and felt an urge to die.

and……

She suddenly froze.

She hadn't thought anything of it before, but tonight, she sensed a faint malice from Xie Lingfeng towards her.

……

the next day.

As Meng Zhixue brushed her teeth, she stared blankly at her dark panda eyes, completely unsurprised and utterly despondent.

It's perfectly reasonable to be sleepless until dawn.

In the morning, Xie Wei returned from the hospital. After she tidied up and lay down on the bed in the master bedroom, Meng Zhixue immediately handed her the resignation letter that she had written overnight.

"Sister Xie Wei, I'm sorry, I... I might not be able to continue working. I want to resign."
