Chapter 7: We're not that familiar yet

Ye Chenghuan didn't answer. The car sped along the Ring River Road like an arrow. There was no one on the road, and the speed actually reached 350.

The three Toyota cars and the chasing police cars had long been left far behind. Lin Peishan squeezed out two words from her oppressed chest: "Stop the car!"

"Squeak!"

The ear - piercing braking sound cut through the brief tranquility. The tires rubbed violently against the road surface, raising a cloud of black smoke.

Lin Peishan finally got out of Ye Chenghuan's restraint and sat in the passenger seat. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. She covered her heaving chest, suppressing the urge to vomit, and stared at him.

After making sure everything was safe, Ye Chenghuanshrugged his shoulders and scratched his hair. "Are you satisfied with my driving skills?" But in his mind, his thoughts were spinning like high - speed gears, speculating about the intentions of those three SUVs.

Lin Peishan pushed aside the black hair that was stuck to her cheeks by sweat, and gave him a fierce glare. Her eyes were so cold that Ye Chenghuan's expression froze. "Do you think this is fun? Do you like showing off?"

He had thought that Lin Peishan would cry or make a scene to vent her resentment. But he didn't expect that she would be so calm after such a bad "prank". This made him a little embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "I was just testing the car for you. You can drive it."

The two changed positions. The car gradually moved away from the noise. The greenery on both sides of the road became thicker and was set off by the distant mountains like a beautiful woman's eyebrows. It was as if they were in a rural idyll.

Among the lush greenery was a white European - style building. Even a casual glance could tell that it was as big as a football field. The top was covered with dark red glazed tiles, and there was a wisp of blue smoke rising from the chimney. In front of the villa, a Venus statue stood in a mist - filled fountain. Just the complicated carvings and beautiful lines on it were enough to make people linger.

In front of the villa was a shallow sea as blue as a gem. A one - person - high wooden boardwalk extended all the way to the distant private dock, where a white yacht with a streamlined shape was moored. Between the sea and the sky, a ferry was slowly passing by, emitting a dull whistle that floated on the sea surface dotted with bits of golden light...

A flash of surprise appeared in Ye Chenghuan's eyes, and he exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

Finally, there was a touch of warmth on Lin Peishan'scold little face. "This is my residence, Victoria."

"I mean you."

Lin Peishan blushed and glared at him, but her heart was pounding.

The car stopped in front of the villa. Ye Chenghuanfollowed the girl's graceful figure, sighing all the way as he entered the villa.

As soon as they entered the gate, there was a magnificent hall. The design concept of the ingenious combination of ellipses and triangles, coupled with the magnificent column sculptures and the garden - arched ceiling covered with famous paintings, made the space large enough to hold a dance. It was solemn but not clumsy, and gorgeous but not vulgar!

The luxurious long - haired carpet underfoot made people feel reluctant to "trample" on it with their feet.

The furniture in the house used changeable curved surfaces, with a wide variety of decorations. There werelarge - scale carvings, gold - foil veneers, and gold - painted finishes. The sitting and lying furniture wasmostly covered with bright red velvet. The gorgeous fabric of the sofa and the delicate carvings complemented each other, integrating the noble shape with the floor decoration, exuding an elegant temperament. The whole place looked like a palace. His first impression was grandeur! The second feeling was that his clothes didn't match the environment here!

Not to mention the exquisitely carved red sandalwood coffee table, nor the flower pot fired from authentic Yixing purple clay, nor the glittering crystal glass lamps and various master - level oil paintings on the walls. Even the extremely graceful spiral staircase was a beautiful work of art.

Anyone who came to such a residence couldn't help but envy its owner.

"Tsk tsk!" Ye Chenghuan smacked his lips, looked around, touched here and there, and finally patted the one - person - high large vase in the corner. "Even if this thing is fake, it must be worth a lot of money."

Lin Peishan pouted slightly and said indifferently, "Just sit around casually. I'm going to take a bath." As soon as she went up the stairs, she heard a shout from below: "I'll keep watch for you." She stamped her foot and went upstairs without looking back.

Ye Chenghuan walked around the room again. It was really a world of its own. Room after room, each with a unique design style, never the same.

He had just sat down after walking around the villa when a middle - aged beautiful woman came gracefully.

Although this woman was over fifty years old, she was well - maintained. Except for a few shallow wrinkles on her face, her skin was still as white as snow, her eyes were as black as paint, her eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her black hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head. A touch of noble reserve was revealed in her kindness. When she saw Ye Chenghuan, she was obviously a little surprised.

No wonder. Victoria, who rarely entertained guests, suddenly had an unexpected guest, and a strange man at that. Of course, she would be astonished.

"Who are you?"

Ye Chenghuan was quite calm. "Oh, my name is Ye Chenghuan. Peishan brought me here. May I ask who you are, sister?"

Sister? Was he calling her? Her heart fluttered like a young girl's. This young man was quite interesting in his speech. She pursed her lips and smiled. "So you're Peishan's friend. I'm the servant here. You can call me Aunt Wan. Where's Peishan?"

"She..." He had just said one word when he smelled the faint fragrance of lilies. He looked up and was almost spellbound.

At this time, Lin Peishan had changed into a dark red strapless silk nightgown. It was obvious that the material was of high quality. It felt as smooth as skin. Her full chest trembled rhythmically with each step. Every time it trembled, the man's heart trembled too. Under the short skirt, two slender and fair legs like creamy fat were revealed after the bath. From Ye Chenghuan's angle, he could just barely not see what was inside. The damp curly hair on the straps of her chest hung over her shoulders. Her face was still cold and expressionless, but the two blushes on her cheeks after the bath added a bit of charm and coquettishness.

She walked down the stairs gracefully, with her eyelids lowered, looking rather proud as if overlooking all living beings. After taking a look, he didn't even dare to look again, as if he was afraid that his impure gaze would pierce a hole in the girl's skin.

Lin Peishan crossed her snow - white legs and sat on the sofa opposite the man. The alluring curve made people's hearts tighten.

Aunt Wan put a small white fox shawl on Lin Peishanand couldn't help but remind her, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Peishan gave her a warm look, and the two of them whispered a few words. Aunt Wan looked at Ye Chenghuan with a complicated look in her eyes before leaving quietly.

Lin Peishan closed her eyes wearily, rubbed her temples, and said faintly, "After entering the Lin family, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't think about what you shouldn't think about. Understand?"

"Honey, can you smile? Don't always look like you've lost your husband. We're going to grow old together in the future!" Ye Chenghuan grinned.

Lin Peishan's face turned black. "I've told you, don't call me that!"

"We're husband and wife. What else should I call you?" Ye Chenghuan rubbed his hands with a flattering smile. "Honey, I think it's getting late. Why don't we go to bed together?"

Lin Peishan widened her beautiful eyes. "What did you say!"

"Ye Chenghuan, I'm warning you. I married you because I had no choice. And there's no emotional foundation between us. We're not even friends. Put away your hooligan face in front of me in the future!" Lin Peishanpouted angrily. "When you're in Victoria, you have to follow my rules. Otherwise, I'll kick you out at any time!"

Ye Chenghuan knew she was serious, so he coughed twice. "Just kidding. Don't say such hurtful things all the time. It makes me nervous. Then I'll call you Peishan?"

"We're not that familiar yet." Lin Peishan said coldly. "I allow you to stay, but you have to promise me a few conditions."

"Not to mention a few, even dozens or hundreds of conditions are no problem." Ye Chenghuan thought that living with such a beautiful woman, a few small conditions were nothing. Moreover, with a man and a woman alone, the atmosphere was right, and with his invincible charm, there would be no shortage of romantic moments in the future...

"Before our wedding, your public identity is my assistant, and you're also responsible for protecting my safety. Also, don't do jobs like being a security guard in the future."

"Why?"

"That's the lowest - class job."

Ye Chenghuan said proudly, "What's low - class about being a security guard? It's also serving the people. You should be proud of me."

Lin Peishan said seriously, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Also, don't call me so disgustingly in the future. Call me Lin Peishan here, and call me President Lin in front of outsiders."

"Can I make a suggestion?"

"No."

Ye Chenghuan touched his nose. "Well, okay, you go on."

Lin Peishan took out an agreement from her handbag and said indifferently, "Take a look."

Ye Chenghuan took it and saw that it read:

In order to create a clean, comfortable, and warm living environment, through mutual consultation, both parties have decided to formulate this agreement. Both the man and the woman are expected to abide by it consciously to avoid unnecessary troubles. The specific content is as follows:

Be hygienic and civilized. Do not enter or exit public areas in a state of dishevelment;

Daily necessities shall be a combination of personal use and shared use.

Respect each other's living habits, hobbies, and personal privacy on the basis of seeking common ground while reserving differences;

Oppose quarrels and confrontations, and advocate discussions and dialogues;

After 12 o'clock at night, the man shall not enter the woman's room without permission. In case of special reasons, he must obtain the woman's consent;

It is strictly prohibited for the man to have any actions or words suspected of "sexual harassment" towards the woman. If violated, the woman reserves the right to criticize, educate, and expel him;

When the woman is in a bad mood, the man has the obligation to comfort her;

The man shall fully guarantee the woman's privacy rights and shall not let any friends stay overnight;

If the woman is harassed by the opposite sex, the man has the obligation to act as her protector;

The man has the obligation to help the woman when she needs help;

Other matters not covered shall be planned, supplemented, and arranged by the woman, and the man shall be responsible for implementation.

This contract shall come into effect upon the signature of both parties!

Ye Chenghuan snorted. "Overbearing terms!"

"Only by signing can you have the right to stay."

Seeing Ye Chenghuan's hesitant look, Lin Peishan finally showed a smile of victory. She got up and came to the stairs. "Put the signed agreement on the table. I'm tired and going to rest. Aunt Wan will arrange your room for you."

"I agree to sign, but I also have a small suggestion."

"Say it!" Lin Peishan gave him an impatient look. This guy was really annoying, chattering on and on.

"I think since I'm the protector, it's more secure to protect you closely. So I suggest moving into your room." He said seriously.

Lin Peishan gritted her teeth and went upstairs without looking back.

Aunt Wan took him to a not - so - conspicuous room at the end of the corridor. Although the furnishings were simple, every detail was exquisite, and every corner was spotless. The setting sun shone through the floor - to - ceiling glass window, casting a touch of warmth on the snow - white beddings, as if covering them with a dreamy soft veil.
