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 Hanjin followed the momentum of the room and turned to see Wen Zhi sitting at the piano bench. After a brief moment of gathering herself, her slender, tender fingers danced across the keyboard.


A melodious tune spread throughout the entire restaurant.


The people present were immersed in the piano music, unable to help themselves.


He Hanjin's eyes softened warmly as he watched Wen Zhi.


At the end of the piece, Wen Zhi accepted a cake from the waiter and walked up to him, her lips curled into a faint smile.


That simple phrase touched He Hanjin's heart deeply.


He had never had anyone prepare his birthday with such care, to the point where even he had forgotten when it actually was.


He had not expected Wen Zhi to remember.


He Hanjin's eyes reddened slightly. He stood up and gazed deeply at Wen Zhi, taking the cake from her and placing it on the table. Then, seizing the moment when Wen Zhi was distracted, he pulled her into his embrace.
