Painterly

[Top-tier mutual teasing + extreme tug-of-war + trash-talking + 1v1]
Wen Zhi had lived in the shadow of being bullied by her entire family since she was young until she was discarded by the He Family as a pawn.
After returning to the country, the first thing she did was to give the He Family a big present.
At the banquet, as soon as Wen Zhi was done with her mischief, she wanted to flee.
Just as she reached the corner, a man stopped her.
“Little Zhi, haven't seen you for five years, where are you running to?”
Looking at the big demon lord who'd tormented her since her childhood, with such a righteous human-dog appearance, Wen Zhi swallowed her saliva.
In her ears, she could almost hear He Hanjin saying that same line to her countless times:
“Little Zhi, you need to be good. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs.”
So in the past, she was constantly playing the good girl, and Hanjin seemed very satisfied with her obedience.
But now that she had finally broken free from his control, she didn't know how he'd torment her if he caught her again.
How could she not run?!

Let Her Flirt

Wen Zhi watched Shen Chenxuan's departing lover, her eyes flickering.


She clearly remembered how that woman had threatened her with a selectively edited slapping video and now, with Shen Chenxuan sending her away so directly, there was no guarantee she wouldn't cause more trouble.


Shen Chenxuan, however, was unaware of Wen Zhi's thoughts and, seeing the red mark on her cheek, his expression softened with concern.


"Sorry, I failed to protect you and you got hurt."


Wen Zhi snapped back to reality, finding his words bitterly ironic.


Expect him to protect her? She might as well wait for it to rain red from the sky!


She knew all too well just how selfish he was.


"It's a necessity for the shoot, there's nothing you could do, I understand," Wen Zhi said, feigning consideration.


Her show of tenderness caused Shen Chenxuan's heart to stir uncontrollably.


He always felt that they had returned to their past, perhaps even to a sweeter phase than before.
