Ruge snapped her fingers, "Isn’t this simple? Just overpower Ou Jue, and all your problems will be solved!"
Overpower?
But last ti in R Country, it didn’t work...
Xiya bit her lower lip lightly.
-
Ou Mansion.
Xiyan had finished her howork a long ti ago, but Ou Jue still hadn’t co back.
She called him, "Hello? Ou Jue..."
"Mm." His deep voice responded on the other end.
Xiyan glanced at the ti; it was already 10 PM.
"Why aren’t you back yet?"
"The company’s busy, you should go to sleep first."
Xiyan: "No, I want to wait for you."
There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by an almost inaudible sigh.
With a hoarse voice, the young man coaxed softly, "Go to sleep, be good."
For so reason, his coaxing made Xiyan’s nose sting with emotion, "I’m going to wait for you..."
"Half an hour."
"What?"
"I’ll be back in half an hour. Can you go to sleep now?"
Xiyan smiled slightly, "Got it."
After hanging up, Xiyan happily ran to the kitchen and made a late-night snack.
Carefully timing it, she carried the snack back to the bedroom to wait for him to return and eat.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Ou Jue, having finished his business dealings, entered with his usual dignified deanor.
Looking a bit tired, he tugged at his tie. In the next mont, Xiyan bounced over excitedly, pointing at the snack behind her, "You’re back? Look, I made this for you."
A flicker of surprise swept through Ou Jue’s deep black eyes. Noticing the band-aid on the young girl’s finger, he grabbed her hand, "What happened?"
"I just accidentally bumped it earlier..."
"Are you an idiot? I told you to go to sleep, and you treat my words like the wind at your ear?!"
Xiyan felt utterly wronged after being yelled at, "I was just thinking about how tired you must be, so I wanted to make you a late-night snack. After you eat, we can sleep together... Do you even care about , or are you just using this as an excuse to scold ?"
Ou Jue’s expression softened slightly, "I don’t need you to do this for ."
Upon hearing that, Xiyan got even angrier, "Right, all you want to do is avoid —leave while I’m still asleep, co back after I’ve gone to bed anyway, so you don’t have to see , is that it?!"
Ou Jue’s throat tightened a little.
"Is it because of Ye Xisi? Is that why you don’t even want to touch anymore? You think I’m dirty now, don’t you?"
Ou Jue pressed his lips together, "Stop overthinking. Go to sleep now. Don’t make repeat myself a third ti."
She was already so agitated, yet he remained calm and collected—it was beyond frustrating.
The less she understood Ou Jue’s thoughts, the more suffocating she felt. And recalling Qiao Qianmo’s smug expression that afternoon only added fuel to the fire.
Her rationality was almost gone with her anger, "You say I’m overthinking? Then why are you avoiding ? Why don’t you dare to touch ? If you’d just try once, you’d realize that absolutely nothing happened between and Ye Xisi! You don’t even have the courage to try, and yet you claim to trust ?! I’m not going to sleep. Tonight, I’m sleeping with you!"
As she spoke, the young girl hugged his arm and dragged him toward the bed.
"Xia Xiyan!" Ou Jue wrapped his hand around hers in reverse.
Xiyan turned to look at him, "I hate this. I hate being misunderstood by the person I like. Tonight, I want to prove it to you. If you refuse to cooperate, I’ll move out of the Ou Family tomorrow, so you won’t have to go out of your way every day to avoid !"
It was her only bargaining chip to negotiate with him right now.
Maybe... it was a chip.
The prerequisite, of course, was whether he cared about her leaving the Ou Family at all.
