Yi Jingnian stood by the island counter, lifting his eyelids at the sound.
Jiang Ranran was holding a set of fiery red coral fleece pajamas, with two triangular fox ears on the hood and a large fluffy tail hanging from the back.
The man examined the clothes in her arms. “Your taste is quite unique.”
“Me, unique? Didn’t you buy all these clothes?”
“Lu Feng bought them.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Ranran froze. “Are you saying all the clothes in the wardrobe were bought by Lu Feng?”
Yi Jingnian frowned. “I asked him to prepare women’s clothing, and he brought back this kind of thing.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ranran immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems I misunderstood you!”
“Misunderstood?”
“Yes! I thought you were the one who bought all these clothes, and that you were really a pervert!”
“…”
“Now it seems you’re not a pervert.”
Jiang Ranran said happily, “Lu Feng is the pervert!”
Yi Jingnian: “…”
Jiang Ranran took the clothes and walked into the master bedroom’s bathroom.
The moment she pushed the door open, she gasped in amazement.
Beyond a glass wall was an enormous landscape bathroom.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window was a white circular bathtub embedded in the platform, like a pebble soaked in moonlight, glowing brightly against the snowy night forest.
Jiang Ranran thought to herself, rich people really know how to enjoy life!
Taking a bath in a place like this, you could soak while admiring the snowy night sky, and maybe even see a bear passing by outside the window…
When you stare at the bear bare-bottomed, the bear also stares at your bare bottom.
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
Jiang Ranran soaked comfortably in the bath. The bathtub was large enough for two people, and she had plenty of space lying in it alone.
The hot spring water was silky and smooth, carrying a faint mineral fragrance. She stretched out her legs, and the chill in her limbs dissipated, leaving only a warm and comfortable feeling.
After her bath, Jiang Ranran changed into the red fox pajamas and looked at herself in the mirror.
The red fleece made her skin appear exceptionally fair. The two fox ears on the hood stood upright, and the large tail hung behind her, swaying as she walked.
She tugged at the tail and swung it a couple of times, finding it quite fun.
She just wondered what expression Mr. Yi would have when he saw this outfit.
With a mindset of “Let’s see if you get embarrassed,” Jiang Ranran walked back to the dining room.
The man was already seated across the dining table.
On the table were a plate of pasta drizzled with meat sauce, a box of fruit salad, and a steaming cup of orange juice.
Jiang Ranran was amazed at how he had managed to prepare all this food in such a short time, but she also noticed something off.
“Huh, why is there only one serving of pasta? Aren’t you eating?”
Yi Jingnian looked up at her.
The girl stood there in her thick fleece pajamas, looking soft and fair. The two triangular ears on her head made her face appear even smaller and rounder, both obedient and alert.
Her lips, flushed from the hot steam, were naturally rosy, soft and glossy, like something delicious that made you want to take a bite.
Yi Jingnian stared at her and slowly said, “I’ll eat something else later.”
Jiang Ranran didn’t find anything odd about his words.
She sat down at the dining table with relief, the large tail hanging by the side of the chair.
“As long as you have something to eat, I won’t hold back then.”
“I’m actually a bit hungry. I need to eat my fill…”
Only when full would she have the strength to deal with any unexpected situations.
Jiang Ranran picked up her fork, twirled a mouthful of pasta, and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up.
“Delicious! So delicious!”
“I never knew you were such a good cook!”
The noodles were springy, the meat sauce rich, and the savory aroma of cheese melted on her tongue.
Yi Jingnian lifted the corner of his lips slightly but said nothing.
Jiang Ranran began devouring the meal with gusto. Eating brought her a primal sense of happiness. Halfway through, she suddenly noticed the man across from her watching her with an unreadable look in his eyes.
He seemed to be smiling, yet his gaze was heavy, as if something was slowly rising from the depths of dark water.
Jiang Ranran felt a shiver run down her spine under his stare. She quickly swallowed the noodles in her mouth and asked, “Mr. Yi, what are you looking at?”
Yi Jingnian watched her for a moment before speaking slowly.
“I’ll bring you here often from now on.”
“To this house?” Jiang Ranran blinked. “What for?”
Even now, she still didn’t know why Mr. Yi had brought her here.
Yi Jingnian chuckled softly. “A man brings a girl to such a secluded place. What do you think he wants to do?”
Jiang Ranran’s hand holding the fork froze abruptly.
She had already considered the possibility that he might be a beast, but hearing such a direct hint still made her heart skip a beat.
“What else could it be…”
She glanced at him and tentatively whispered, “Could it be… to do it?”
Yi Jingnian’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Under the brilliant lights, his eyes were incredibly deep. Especially when his expression softened, he exuded a mature, captivating charm that made one willingly fall for him.
Jiang Ranran stared at this mesmerizing face.
She put down her fork and said woodenly, “Even though you look very… sleepable, I really haven’t prepared myself mentally tonight…”
Yi Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly. “What did you say?”
Jiang Ranran: “I said I’m not mentally prepared tonight. I’m a bit shy, and both my body and mind are quite conservative.”
“The part before that.”
“You look very sleepable.”
“…”
Yi Jingnian studied her intently for a long while.
After a prolonged silence, he said slowly, “Explain to me what that means.”
Jiang Ranran: “It’s exactly what it sounds like!”
This man’s looks, physique, aura, wealth, and power—any one of them was a top-tier aphrodisiac. What was so hard to understand?
Jiang Ranran tried her best to explain. “You look very sleepable means… you look like you’d be good to sleep with…”
“…”
“Oh, it just means sleepable! What’s there to explain…”
“Right, sleepable means you give people the urge to sleep with you…”
“And, sleeping with you would probably feel amazing too!”
Yi Jingnian mused, “It seems you have a lot of experience.”
“Not really, I’m just guessing,” Jiang Ranran said modestly. “After all, with looks like yours, it’d be strange if you weren’t sleepable.”
“Well, let’s see if your guess is accurate.”
The man raised his hand and leisurely loosened his tie.
Jiang Ranran immediately sat up straight, alert. “What are you doing?”
Yi Jingnian pulled off his tie, stood up, and walked toward her.
Jiang Ranran sensed danger and jumped up to run, but she was a step too late.
Her wrist was seized by the man, and an overwhelmingly oppressive aura instantly enveloped her completely.
His movements were swift and decisive. He flipped her body around and pressed her against the chair.
“Ah!!”
Jiang Ranran’s eyes widened in shock.
She was forced to kneel and lean over the dining chair, her hands pinned behind her back by the man. The cold tie had already wrapped around her wrists, poised to bind her tightly.
“Ahhh, let me go—” Jiang Ranran cried out, her voice trembling with fear.
She struggled desperately, arching her hips upward in an attempt to push the man away.
