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

He Wenyan immediately slammed her chopsticks down, and the table emitted a sharp crack.


"You can answer the call, but I want to listen too," she declared.


Shen Chenxuan had no objections to her demand.


He nodded and answered the phone, deliberately switching on the speaker before the conversation began.


"What's the matter for calling at this hour?" he asked.


"I'm scared! Chenxuan! I'm really scared right now, I need you to come over!" Bai Yuewan's frightened voice came through the phone.


Upon hearing Bai Yuewan so affectionately calling Shen Chenxuan by his name, He Wenyan's mood soured instantly.


Shen Chenxuan was her husband, after all. Didn't she find the name Chenxuan a bit too intimate?


Anyone unaware would think he was having an affair.


He Wenyan had wanted to correct Bai Yuewan's way of addressing him, but Shen Chenxuan gave her a look that made her hold back her words for the moment.
