"Miss Yang, why are you wandering around here alone?"
Yang Xi froze when she heard the voice behind her. She turned around and saw An Shaosi leaning against the door. He was holding a cigarette in his hand.
"Don't tell me that you miss me so much that you can't extricate yourself?"
"Pfft! Don't flatter yourself. A man like you is worthless in my eyes. You're so shameless!"
An Shaosi's face once again broke into a mischievous smile. It brightened up his face, hiding his usual cold demeanor.
"Women! It's not easy to use a brain when one has a big chest."
When she heard his words, Yang Xi's mind went blank. She wanted to retort but could not think of an immediate comeback. She glared at him fiercely.
"Stinky hooligan! Why is your mouth so dirty!"
"Am I wrong?" An Shaosi clicked his tongue. He straightened his body and walked over to her. He was very tall, even though Yang Xi was wearing red, he still looked down at her.
"Don't come over, or I'll kick you to death!"
Yang Xi took a few steps back and clenched her fists tightly. An Shaosi did not stop. He only stopped when he had forced her into a corner. "Did I say something wrong? Didn't you see how apart Ruochu and Nanchen were? I was just helping them. Otherwise, why would I have said so much nonsense?"
"Stop trying to clear your name. You're just a chatterbox!"
His face was getting closer. Yang Xi suddenly felt like she could not breathe. She stared at him with her eyes wide open, alert of his every move.
"Why am I a chatterbox?" An Shaosi laughed lightly, looking very flirtatious. "Miss Yang is so irritable. It must be because her yin and yang are out of tune."
He suddenly reached and hooked her waist, and his eyes were filled with wildness. "Seeing how beautiful Miss Yang is, I'm sure she can serve me well in bed. I'd like it very much..."
"Get lost! I'm going to tell my brother to beat you to death! Just you wait, I won't let you off, I won't!"
Yang Xi seemed to have grown thorns, and her impression of him worsened. She was furious. Women liked to be praised, but she did not care much for such praise. Instead, she wanted to beat him to death.
She raised her leg to kick him, but An Shaosi dodged her, and a wry smile was still on his face. His movements were very relaxed. "All right, I'll wait for you to come around. In the future, I hope you can lie under my body and never resist. How about that?"
Yang Xi gave him a fake smile and opened her mouth to bite down on his arm. She bit hard before she finally let go. However, in that instant, she saw his sadistic eyes twitch.
She took a step back and ran away like a rabbit.
"..."
Gu Ruochu took something from her bedroom and was stunned when she turned around and bumped into Huo Nanchen. "Why are you upstairs?"
"I was looking for you."
"..."
Gu Ruochu smiled and reached out to hug him. "Mom just told me to come up. Why are you so nervous?"
"You always make me feel uneasy."
Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat, and she calmly changed the topic. "Nanchen, isn't Yang Xi pretty? Young Master An's praise for her could make one's imagination run wild."
He reached out to stroke her head and smiled. "She's not as pretty as you are. You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen, irreplaceable."
"..."
Gu Ruochu was flattered when he heard how serious his tone was as he praised her. She was also a little embarrassed.
"Nonsense!"
"I'm telling the truth."
