Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

It's not just because of the terrible first experience of sneaking a bite.

Ultimately, Xia Yanle's innermost fear was being seen through.

She could express such strong affection for Xiao Weiran because she didn't care.

She felt she could handle Xiao Weiran.

She felt confident of victory when she pushed Bai Weiran, who was imprisoned on the bed.

But then?

She had no idea how the relationship would develop—she was at a loss as to how to proceed.

Because yanderes are completely incapable of interacting with people, they are born lone wolves.

This man only needs to wait, and the east wind will come to him.

Now the situation is reversed; she has finished playing her cards, while he hasn't even played one yet.

She has been manipulating and playing with him all along by taking advantage of the information gap.

But the information gap will eventually run out—

As you get closer to the person you like, it's inevitable that they'll see through you.

She trusted Bai Weiran, yet lost the most basic faith in interpersonal relationships.

Unlike Qin Ning, Mengmeng's attitude of relying entirely on Bai Weiran is different.

Xia Yanle wanted to rely on someone, yet she was also afraid of relying on them.

The only way to get him is through a playful, almost teasing approach, crossing physical boundaries, yet fearing he might see through the uncontrollable emotions beneath the surface.

What should I do if I like this person too much?

I don't want to be manipulated, I don't want to lose.

For some, physical intimacy may be the romantic endpoint of a relationship.

But for Xia Yanle, this was just the beginning.

Just as she was about to remove her hand from his cheek, Bai Weiran unexpectedly grabbed it.

A warm sensation spread across the back of my hand.

Because her body temperature was low, and Bai Weiran had been working out for a while, her basal metabolic rate was high, and her body temperature was high, so there was a burning sensation when she was close to her.

Xia Yanle felt uncomfortable, even a little awkward.

In fact, she had done even more shameless things. Not long ago, the two were still very close and intimate with each other, but now, with just a little bit of physical contact, they suddenly felt afraid.

She wanted to pull her hand away, but then felt the action was too deliberate, so she pretended to be indifferent, though her eyes betrayed her panic and her expression was flippant.

"...What? Don't hold my hand. You're disgusting, I'm not interested. Whoever wants your leftovers can take them. Let go right now!"

Bai Weiran didn't respond to her.

"I'll buy you some medicine to apply, it'll help."

Where is she injured?

The genius Xia Yanle realized it in a second.

...You bastard!

When Qin Ning came out of the bathroom, she saw Bai Weiran looking completely innocent, while the bedroom door was slammed shut behind her.

She asked what had happened, her face full of confusion. Bai Weiran shook his head at her, changed the subject by talking about Mengmeng, and told her that he already had a solution.

Qin Ning's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing the conclusion, and she instantly forgot her anger at having soap smeared on her face. A huge weight was lifted from her heart, and she burst into tears.

"That's great, Brother Weiran..."

Xia Yanle lay on the bed in her room, listening to the crying outside, and couldn't help but laugh.

She realized that in this family, Mengmeng was more cunning and clever than Qinqin.

Their relationship must be like this: the strong and arrogant one thinks she is in control of the weak one, bringing her under her wing for protection and even standing up for her. Little does she know that the weak one, in turn, controls her, thus achieving a balance between the two.

The strong and the weak are clearly distinguishable. If the strong do not overpower or bully the weak, then the weak are certainly not truly weak.

She closed her eyes, wanting to sleep for a while.

I'm really tired.

Having traveled through time to the present, she found herself doing all sorts of unfamiliar manual labor.

But after struggling for a while, she couldn't fall asleep, and that sentence kept replaying in her mind.

"I'll buy you some medicine to apply, it'll help."

Xia Yanle closed her eyes, turned over, and felt weakness in her lower back.

— He couldn't help but pound the mattress and mutter curses under his breath.

Chapter Sixteen: Qin Ning's Confident Victory (Part One)

Two firecrackers exploded right in front of Bai Weiran, sending colorful ribbons flying everywhere.

"Welcome back, Brother Weiran!!!" On the left is A-Chao, his face beaming with excitement.

"My son, my son, your old mother has been waiting for you so long! If you don't come back soon, I will have to bury my own child!!!" On the right is Guoguo, her face full of emotion.

A line of project staff stood in front, applauding and welcoming them.

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow.

"...I am flattered. I did not expect you to give me such a warm welcome."

"Of course, Weiran-ge, you are the only god in my heart!!!"

"Oh, my son, you don't know how much your old mother has been longing for you these past few days. My face has become so thin..." Guoguo said, touching her face to make herself more convincing.

But with Bai Weiran away these days, Guoguo has been leading the way in ordering afternoon tea in the group every day, and has gained a lot of weight.

Now when I touch my face, it's soft and plump, all good flesh.

Bai Weiran gazed at her silently.

Guoguo was embarrassed.

"Oh, judging by face isn't accurate. I'm so thin, I can't lose weight in my face," she tried to explain.

"You have to look at my waist, look how thin it's gotten..."

Touching her waist, she felt her soft little belly again, and the words stuck in her throat.

Guoguo didn't just gain weight in her face; her whole body visibly gained weight.

Before Bai Weiran's vacation, Guoguo was the girl next door; after she returned, she became the Yang Guifei next door.

"I thought you were all hoping I wouldn't come back. You seem to be living a very comfortable life."

He looked around and saw that everyone he saw had gained weight and was radiant.

I need to reflect a little on my past behavior of involution.

"Pah! I'm looking forward to Weiran's return every day! Weiran, I'm ready! I'm going to go all out and give it my all!!! I'll work like crazy! If I leave work before midnight every day, I don't deserve to be Weiran's follower!!! Weiran is here, I'm here; Weiran is gone, I'm gone!! I will never leave Weiran!!!"

When Ah Chao shouted like that, everyone in the group turned pale, took a step back at the same time, and stood in front of him.

No, although we all enjoy our work and are passionate about it.

However, these overtime work waivers should not be signed casually.

What if it turns into sudden death? There's nowhere to seek justice.

Ah Chao was full of energy, ignoring the contempt and disdain of the crowd, and looked at Bai Weiran with enthusiastic eyes.

Bai Weiran waved his hand at him.

"I'm very touched, but I'm also very sad, Ah Chao, we can't walk together."

Everyone was stunned and shocked.

Refusing to leave together at midnight, does that mean you want to leave together at 3 a.m.?

Getting curlier and curlier, huh?!

...Damn it, you might as well never come back!

"I applied to work remotely because of some family matters. My office hours will be irregular for the next period of time."

Everyone was surprised and kept asking questions, but Bai Weiran just smiled and gave the same answer. After distributing the gifts she brought back to everyone, she sat back down at her workstation and started typing on her keyboard, replying to the backlog of work messages.

Guoguo and Achao both messaged him to ask, but Bai Weiran shut them down with a simple "Something came up at home, it's not a big deal."

I was extremely busy, with meetings scheduled from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., totaling seven and a half.

Five meetings were held as scheduled, while for the others, participants only attended the first or second half, listened to the conclusions and received instructions, and that was it.

Bai Weiran is not only busy with work, but also has to deal with groups of people coming to see him.

The news that he had applied to work remotely and would be visiting the office less often quickly spread.

The company was shaken.

Keep in mind that he is now in charge of the company's most promising research and development project.

Although remote work can not delay the work process, in the workplace, face-to-face interaction is still important. If you stop coming to the company and focus on developing projects with your subordinates, you will be less visible. On the other hand, the producer of Wu Ji's project frequently walks around the company, trying to build relationships with the general manager, programming experts, and art director.

A colleague you see every day, who you can eat, drink, and chat with, is always more approachable than a elusive, capable colleague. In the workplace, both ability and personal relationships matter.

If this continues, the previously favorable situation will tilt in favor of the project Wu Ji is in.

Many people then came looking for Bai Weiran.

Some were concerned, some were trying to find out what was going on, some were offering advice, and some were simply gossiping.

The last type of person is the most numerous.

He was too busy to help others and couldn't get upstairs until midnight.

Qin Ning also came to the company today and waited for him on the seventeenth floor to leave work together.

The seventeenth floor is completely empty.
