C10 His Fiancée Came to His Door

Leh Jiu had no intention of entering the room, yet her feet betrayed her will.

Before she knew it, she found herself standing at the bedside.

"Come here," Si Nanzhi beckoned, patting the space next to him.

She cast a glance at Tang Chi and Lu Xing, who stood like sentinels by the door.

A blush crept onto Leh Jiu's cheeks; she was reluctant to join him.

But Si Nanzhi had no shame, showing no embarrassment as he threatened her.

"Don't you value your life?"

Muttering under her breath, Leh Jiu reluctantly climbed onto the bed.

No sooner had she settled than Si Nanzhi yanked her into his embrace, enveloping her in his arms like an octopus, his crisp, refreshing scent overwhelming her.

"Leave us," he commanded the others.

Si Nanzhi, aware of her bashfulness, spared her any teasing.

Tang Chi's eyes briefly met Leh Jiu's, hinting at unspoken words, but Lu Xing swiftly escorted him out before he could speak.

Frozen with apprehension, Leh Jiu's body was rigid as a rod.

Perhaps finding her stiffness uncomfortable, Si Nanzhi began to knead the soft flesh at her waist.

That touch seemed to flip a switch within her, and Leh Jiu's body melted into softness.

She glared at him, her eyes indignantly questioning, "Why are you touching me?"

Si Nanzhi, interpreting her look, responded with a chilling tone, "Would you rather I didn't touch you and instead took you to bed?"

"!!!"

Insufferable scoundrel!

Faced with no good options, Leh Jiu reluctantly chose the lesser of two evils, as the latter was far too painful.

It was Si Nanzhi's first time sharing a bed with a woman, and his first time holding one as they slept.

Leh Jiu might have been slender, but she was undeniably soft.

The phrase 'gentle and soft' must have been coined for women.

Si Nanzhi's grip was too firm, prompting Leh Jiu to pout and shift uncomfortably.

Snap!

A sharp sound echoed.

Her rounded, pert backside had been slapped.

It wasn't painful, but it was audible.

Leh Jiu's eyes widened, a flush of shame coloring her gaze.

This is just too humiliating!

Si Nanzhi's voice was sinfully seductive and piercingly aggressive.

"Keep squirming and I'll take you right here!"

Did he think she was some kind of easy mark?

Didn't he realize that you shouldn't tease a man first thing in the morning?

Leh Jiu's face was as red as a ripe apple, flushed enough to bleed.

"You're holding me too tightly."

Leh Jiu's cheeks burned with embarrassment as she spoke in a muffled tone.

"So many complaints!"

Tsk, what's the big deal? She's just being overly sensitive.

Despite his grumbling, Si Nanzhi loosened his grip slightly.

With a rush of oxygen, Leh Jiu felt a wave of relief.

"Stay and sleep a bit longer with me."

Si Nanzhi held her close, inhaling her subtle scent, which soothed the last of his unease.

He nestled his chin on her forehead, rubbing gently, and Si Nanzhi closed his eyes in contentment.

Their entwined bodies, lulled by the morning birdsong, drifted back to sleep, one after the other.

As dawn broke, the world came back to life.

Inside, the house was a haven of tranquility and comfort.

...

Leh Jiu awoke to find herself alone on the large bed.

She reached out to the cool spot beside her, evidence that Si Nanzhi had risen long ago.

Without any clothes of her own, she was clad in Si Nanzhi's garments.

Standing at 1.7 meters, Leh Jiu was tall for a woman, but next to Si Nanzhi's 1.88 meters, his clothes hung on her like a child playing dress-up in an adult's wardrobe, ill-fitting and awkward.

Descending the stairs, Leh Jiu encountered a living room overflowing with an array of women's attire – dresses, pants, and gowns – a dazzling and disorienting assortment.

Her jet-black hair cascaded freely down her back, framing a face of pure innocence. Beneath her striking beauty was a dual sense of desire and purity.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a radiant halo around Leh Jiu, transforming her into an ethereal sprite, breathtakingly out of place in the human realm.

The onlookers downstairs were utterly gobsmacked at the sight before them.

"My goodness, where did this angelic beauty come from?"

Ms. Chen was the first to snap out of her daze, approaching with a warm smile.

"Miss, you're awake."

Leh Jiu inquired, "Where's Nanzhi?"

"The young master had to step out for a bit."

Oh, he's not at home then.

"Miss, please take a look at these clothes and see if you like them. If not, we can get a different selection for you."

Upon hearing this, Leh Jiu looked adorably bewildered, her eyes slightly wide as she exclaimed, "All of these are for me?"

"Yes, indeed. The young master mentioned if you didn't like them, we could have a new batch delivered."

Despite his flaws, the young master doesn't hesitate to splurge on women.

Leh Jiu had never laid eyes on so many exquisite clothes in her life. She had no memory of the past three years, but during that time, she had only ever worn the drab attire of the laboratory.

The only dress she had ever worn was given to her by a pharmacist who wanted to conceal her identity because of her beauty.

Seeing her lethargic expression, Ms. Chen assumed she was displeased and gestured dismissively, "Miss, if you don't like these, we'll get a new set for you."

"No, no, there's no need. I like them."

Leh Jiu wasn't displeased; she was just overwhelmed for the moment.

Ms. Chen glanced at the brand manager, "What are you waiting for? Get Miss's clothes packed up, quickly."

"Right away."

They busied themselves with the task at hand.

Ms. Chen then turned back to Leh Jiu with a friendly smile, "Are you hungry, Miss? Is there anything particular you'd like to eat? I can have the chef prepare something for you."

At the mention of food, Leh Jiu's eyes sparkled. She couldn't think of a specific dish but said, "I'd like to have the same dishes as last night."

"Alright, I'll have someone start on it right away. Just wait a little while; it'll be ready soon."

Leh Jiu nodded, clearly pleased.

Ms. Chen headed to the kitchen to relay the order to the chef.

With nowhere else to go in the vast orchard, Leh Jiu found the kitchen to be of the most interest.

As she was about to peek inside, she came face-to-face with a young woman entering through the doorway.

The young woman may not have had striking features, but she possessed an elegant temperament. Yet, in the presence of Leh Jiu, her gaze held nothing but wariness and contempt. Her expression grew stern, and with a slight widening of her beautiful eyes, she demanded, "Who are you?"

"And who might you be?" Leh Jiu countered.

The woman's hostility was palpable, and her piercing gaze made Leh Jiu uneasy. With an air of pride, she declared, "I am Si's fiancée!" Her arrogance was written all over her face.
