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

"Nobody wanted this to happen, but you guys need to talk this through, what can arguing solve?"


He Hanjin still kept his gaze fixed on Wen Zhi, but his words were directed at Yan Xi.


"Cancel all her upcoming events; she should rest well during this period."


Before Yan Xi could respond, Wen Zhi immediately interrupted, "No way!"


"Can't you stop being so willful? I'm doing this for your safety. Until that person is caught, I won't feel at ease about your safety."


"So you want me to be cooped up at home all the time? That's not who I am! How could there not be dangers outside?"


Both were stubborn, each holding their ground.


Yan Xi, listening to their conversation, showed a facial expression full of difficulty.


She had been with Wen Zhi for many years and should consider Wen Zhi's feelings, but on the other hand, when it came to safety, she should also listen to He Hanjin.


Just as Yan Xi was struggling, Lu Chen heard the news and rushed over.
