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

"This work isn't something I wanted to get involved in, but there was no other choice. Let's not talk about these annoying matters. Have a seat and take a look at the menu, I haven't ordered yet."


Director Wei seemed particularly approachable today, always wearing a kind smile on his face.


Yan Xi followed Wen Zhi and sat at a more distant position, yet Director Wei, upon seeing this, clearly flashed a look of displeasure in his eyes, but quickly concealed it, unnoticed by the two of them.


Yan Xi passed the menu to Wen Zhi, "Take a look, what would you like to eat?"


"I'm not too sure what's good here, maybe order some signature dishes?" Wen Zhi said.


Yan Xi had no particular cravings either. After nodding in agreement with the suggestion, she ordered a few dishes and then handed the menu back to Director Wei.
