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

Perhaps out of excessive guilt, Shen Chenxuan felt compelled to take the initiative and greet them.


After all, they had made eye contact; pretending not to see them at this point would be quite indefensible.


"What a coincidence, you're also at this hotel."


Yet, Shen Chenxuan's words failed to elicit any response from Yan Xi and Wen Zhi, who were incessantly scrolling through their phones, occasionally sharing amusing videos they stumbled across with one another.


This left Shen Chenxuan standing alone, an outsider; to those unaware of the context, he seemed rather pitiable.


The ignored Shen Chenxuan was, naturally, quite displeased.


His expression darkened as he coughed to assert his presence and spoke again.


Shen Chenxuan's words were like a stone tossed into the water, causing ripples but receiving no response.
