Perhaps this method of resistance was too unconventional, as the man’s grip loosened for a moment.
Jiang Ranran seized the opportunity and pushed with all her strength—
Thud!
The dining chair toppled over.
Jiang Ranran fell to the floor and immediately scrambled under the nearby table, seeking a place to hide.
However, her fox tail was pinned beneath the chair.
Half her body was already under the table, and one hand reached out from beneath it, trying to pull the trapped tail inside.
The man hooked an arm around her waist and effortlessly hauled her out.
“No—!”
Jiang Ranran clung to the table leg with both hands and feet, but her efforts were utterly futile against his overwhelming strength.
Her hands were seized and raised above her head. A tie was wrapped around her wrists, and the other end was swiftly tied to the table leg, pulled taut, and knotted securely.
Jiang Ranran’s mind went blank for a moment.
Was he… tying her up?
But people usually did this kind of thing on a bed, while he was doing it under a table…
He really wasn’t picky about the location!
Jiang Ranran kicked her legs forcefully, causing the solid wood dining table to creak and groan, but the bindings on her wrists remained unyielding.
Yi Jingnian didn’t rush to proceed further. Instead, he looked down at her from above, as if admiring the sight of his prey struggling desperately.
Summoning her courage, Jiang Ranran squeezed out a sentence.
“Mr. Yi… don’t you think this place is a bit inappropriate?”
Yi Jingnian raised an eyebrow slightly.
Jiang Ranran scrambled for an excuse. “The floor is cold.”
The man didn’t respond.
After saying it, Jiang Ranran realized the excuse didn’t hold up.
The villa had underfloor heating. The floor wasn’t cold at all—it was actually quite warm.
Jiang Ranran’s face flushed red. “Fine, I’ll be honest. Others tie women to bedposts, but you tie them to table legs…”
“It’s not that far from the dining room to the bedroom. Are you really that desperate?”
Yi Jingnian chuckled softly, then abruptly lifted her body and leisurely pulled her into his embrace.
Jiang Ranran’s eyes widened instantly. “You…”
Their bodies pressed tightly together.
His thin lips were right beside her ear, his breath brushing against her eardrum, sending tingling shivers down her spine.
The next moment, his long, powerful hand slipped under the hem of her pajamas.
Jiang Ranran froze completely. “!!”
His warm palm rested on her bare lower back, and his calloused fingertips slowly traced upward along her spine, inch by inch.
Jiang Ranran trembled all over from his touch, her spine tingling as if electrified. She was about to open her mouth and say something like, “You damn pervert, what are you doing? Stop it! I’ll really scream…”
Suddenly, his hand stopped.
Yi Jingnian’s gaze paused.
He looked down at the girl in his arms. This little thing wasn’t wearing a bra.
“Why aren’t you wearing one?”
He asked calmly, his voice low and composed.
“…”
All the blood in Jiang Ranran’s body rushed to her face. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She had always hated bras. The first thing she did every time she returned to her room was to toss the annoying thing away.
After her shower, her body craved freedom, and the fluffy pajamas she was wearing were thick enough that going without a bra wouldn’t be noticeable at all.
So she hadn’t worn one.
Clenching her teeth, Jiang Ranran retorted defiantly, “I find it too constricting! Is that not allowed?”
Yi Jingnian chuckled, his tone meaningful.
Jiang Ranran felt he was mocking her, instantly feeling both embarrassed and angry. She decided to throw caution to the wind.
“I won’t wear it! I don’t want to!”
She shouted loudly, “What are you going to do about it?”
“Can’t really do much about it…”
The man’s voice was lazy and indifferent, his hand slowly moving to the front.
“Aaah!!”
A deafening howl echoed through the villa.
The motion-sensor lights outside flickered on in response.
“…”
Yi Jingnian slightly pulled back, frowning as he looked down at the girl beneath him.
Her heart was pounding violently under his palm, her entire body trembling along with it, her small face flushed crimson.
She stared straight at him, tears shimmering in her eyes:
“You old pervert! Do you even realize what you’re doing? You damn…”
Yi Jingnian’s handsome face remained expressionless, his gaze deep and intense as his long fingers slowly moved away, brushing past the girl’s ribs.
Jiang Ranran shuddered, suddenly bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
“Ahahahaha it tickles! Hahaha… damn it, stop touching me!”
“…”
Jiang Ranran laughed until tears streamed down her face, but with her hands tied, she couldn’t escape, only squirming wildly in the man’s embrace. Her ears and tail trembled along with her, the entire Fox Spirit shaking as if electrified.
But soon, she couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because the man’s hand was still moving…
The motion-sensor lights outside the villa had just turned off when they were awakened again by a terrified and piercing howl.
“Awoo!!”
“Stop—!!”
And so, the lights flickered on and off several times.
The world finally fell silent again.
Jiang Ranran lay on the ground in despair, her fox ears drooping to one side.
Just moments ago, Mr. Yi had touched every inch of her body, inside and out!
Even including…
As for his technique, it was less like caressing and more like appraising, even toying.
It seemed that if any part of her didn’t meet his expectations, he would end her life on the spot!
Yi Jingnian slightly propped himself up, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
There were no devices on her body that a spy should carry.
No special weapons, tracking chips, micro-cameras, listening devices, or even subcutaneous implants… nothing at all.
Only this clean, delicate form, seemingly soft and boneless, yet hiding a powerful vitality that threatened to break free from control, waiting to be awakened or destroyed.
Jiang Ranran glared at him with hatred.
An invisible tension seemed to tighten in the air.
After a moment, Jiang Ranran suddenly straightened her body, closed her eyes, and lay motionless on the ground, as if she had turned into a corpse.
Yi Jingnian reached out and pinched her chin.
“What are you doing.”
Jiang Ranran sneered, “You want to take by force, and I can’t beat you, but I can play dead…”
“I’ll stay completely still, like a dead fish, guaranteeing you a terrible experience!”
“…”
