C16 Bastard!

Lin Yueyue awkwardly pulled back her hand and started eating in silence, internally cursing herself for being so foolish. Why should she care if this man eats or not? It would serve him right to starve!

Mo Lengxi noticed the small dish that appeared in his bowl and glanced at Yueyue's frustrated expression. He immediately tossed his chopsticks aside and commanded, "I want to eat that."

See! She knew it. This man would never show a shred of kindness. She gritted her teeth in annoyance and picked up a piece of food, placing it on Mo Lengxi's plate.

With that, Mo Lengxi crossed his arms and said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Feed me!"

"..."

What?! Did she hear him right? First, he asked her to help him get dressed, and now he wanted her to feed him. Was he serious?

Lin Yueyue couldn't hold back any longer. "Mr. Mo, are you a three-year-old? Do you need someone to give you a bath later too?"

"That works. But if you want to help me with a bath, you'll have to wait until tonight. For now... feed me!"

"..."

Did she just dig her own grave?

Lin Yueyue stared at him, dumbfounded, as he wore an expression that seemed to say, "You're lucky to be serving me." She almost lost her temper, but... for the sake of her plan, she held back.

After that, Mo Lengxi didn't make things too difficult for her, and the meal passed relatively peacefully.

"Follow me."

Seeing Mo Lengxi get up and leave the dining room, Lin Yueyue had no choice but to follow him.

They made their way to the study. Once inside, Mo Lengxi sat down in the chair and beckoned her over with a slight smile. "Come sit."

Lin Yueyue was sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. There was only one chair. Where was she supposed to sit? "Sit...?"

"Yeah..." Mo Lengxi raised an eyebrow with a mischievous glint, patting his thigh instinctively. The next second, his expression turned dark. "Don't make me repeat myself!"

"Uh...?"

Yueyue hesitated, wondering if it was really okay to just sit on a stranger's lap like this. Just as she was thinking about it, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and the next moment, she found herself sitting on Lengxi's lap.

Feeling uneasy, Yueyue struggled a bit, but his long arms wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly in place. She couldn't move even if she wanted to.

Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Lengxi rested his head on her shoulder, inhaling the subtle scent of her skin. His previously agitated mood quickly calmed, and a satisfied glint appeared in his silver-gray eyes as he casually joined a video conference.

Yueyue was startled to see the screen filled with dozens of men and women in business attire, all looking like seasoned professionals. Her body went rigid, as stiff as a board.

How could this man... how could he...!?

Wasn't it enough to humiliate her in front of everyone at the mansion? Why did he have to make her appear so disheveled and undignified in front of all these people? What was he trying to do?

"You're going too far!" Yueyue couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the video meeting. She had chosen to temporarily comply just to escape, but that didn't mean she had no limits.

"Too far?" Lengxi raised an eyebrow, his expression nonchalant.

"Yes, I'm not your plaything!"

"Then what are you?!" His hand suddenly gripped her jaw, his eyes flashing with a predatory sharpness.

"I'm nothing, but I'm definitely not your plaything!"

"Oh, really? Couldn't keep up the act of being obedient for even a little while?" Lengxi's eyes glinted with amusement, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Yueyue, abandoning any thoughts of future escape plans, began to struggle fiercely. "You arrogant, twisted jerk! Let me go! What gives you the right to treat me like this?!"

As she spoke, her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't even know you, and you brought me to this godforsaken place to torment me. As if that's not enough, you want others to see me like this. You're a monster!"

A warm tear fell onto Mo Lengxi's hand, causing him to pause slightly. He looked up to see Lin Yueyue crying. "Hmm? When did I ever let anyone see you like this?"

"How can you even ask that?" Lin Yueyue pointed angrily at the computer. "Wasn't that a video conference you just started?"

It was indeed a video conference, but it was a one-way video conference.

Mo Lengxi raised an eyebrow and gave a leisurely smile. His fingers trailed down from her shoulder as he deliberately lowered his voice, chuckling softly, "With a figure like yours, it's a shame if I'm the only one who gets to admire it."

"You... you jerk!" With that, Lin Yueyue swung her hand, delivering a sharp slap across his face.

The crisp sound left both of them momentarily stunned.
