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

Yan Xi had intended to slip away by greasing her heels, but unexpectedly, Lu Chen seemed to have anticipated her little trick in advance.


Lu Chen was walking over steadily, but as soon as he detected Yan Xi's intention, his steps quickened, he even broke into a light jog. Just as Yan Xi was about to run, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her back.


"Where do you think you're going?" Lu Chen asked with a slightly darkening expression.


Yan Xi, seeing her escape had failed, was silent for a moment before revealing a smile uglier than crying, "I, uh, my stomach hurts, I wanted to go to the bathroom for a bit."


She didn't look like she had a stomach ache at all, but rather like she was looking for an excuse to slip away.


Because Wen Zhi was there, Lu Chen still left some dignity for Yan Xi, not exposing her on the spot.
