His gaze sharpened.

He raised his hand to touch her, but as soon as his fingertips touched the girl's fair cheek, she slapped him away without any mercy.

The sudden turn of events caught Si Hanye completely off guard, and his hand remained suspended in mid-air.

Half an hour!

The man chuckled softly, somewhat embarrassed, and withdrew his hand. A complex mix of emotions welled up within him—a sense of disappointment at being rejected by the girl, yet also a feeling of tolerance and indulgence towards her stubbornness.

Then, he slowly opened his lips!

"I'm leaving now. During my absence, if you need anything, you can go to Fu Ting, and he will help you."

Tong Guang's hands gripped the swing tightly!

Is he leaving?

What are we going to do?

How long will it take?

Is there... danger?

A series of questions welled up in her mind, and she didn't know where to begin. She opened her lips slightly... but in the end, she swallowed all her questions.

These words were probably already explained to others before they came.

She's just an insignificant maid, or maybe a pet. Why bother telling her all this?

Don't you have anything to say to me?

Si Hanye stared intently at the girl, not wanting to miss a single detail of her... Even though this person had been imprinted in his heart a thousand times, he could never get enough of looking at her.

Upon hearing this, her delicate shoulders trembled slightly. After a pause, she murmured softly, "Then... please be careful, sir!"

gentlemen?

Si Hanye gave a self-deprecating laugh, his voice hoarse and dry: "Is that all there is to it?"

The girl lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the thoughts in her eyes, and she remained silent.

He lowered his gaze slightly, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and glanced at the carved jade table that had shattered into pieces beside him.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he grasped the girl's slender ankle in his large hand, examining it closely. "Did you kick it with your foot? Or with your hand?"

"Are you injured?"

His deep, magnetic voice was filled with worry and tenderness as he took the girl's two small hands and examined them carefully.

"Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Suddenly, she fell into his warm, large hand.

Tong Guang was startled! These words struck her like a heavy hammer blow.

Once the truth was revealed, she reacted like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and jumping up and down.

She flung the man's hand away! She hurriedly got off the swing, her steps a little unsteady, but she still retreated in the direction away from him.

"Who said I'm angry?"

"I'm very happy!"

"Don't be so self-righteous. I just... I just don't like those things!"

The girl's emotions grew increasingly intense; she retorted loudly, as if the louder her voice, the more she could mask the complex feelings within her.

Why?

Why should she get angry for someone who only treats her like a pet?

"You stinking Si Hanye, you pervert! Who do you think you are? Don't overestimate yourself... You're nothing to me!"

The girl accused him even louder, her words becoming increasingly sharp and piercing!

Her voice choked with emotion, and her eyes held an unconcealed sense of grievance.

The man easily captured all of this!

Si Hanye simply smiled, looking tenderly at the angry girl. Had the little girl finally released all the bad emotions she had been holding back for so long?

[The system detected that the host insulted the mission target. 500 Pure Love Points have been deducted, leaving a balance of 2290.]

The system notification that suddenly rang in his mind was like a thunderclap! It instantly pulled Tong Guang, who was surrounded by anger, back to reality.

She stood there stunned, unable to react for a moment!

……

How could she forget that Si Hanye was her mission target!

How could she be so impulsive? She shouldn't have lost her temper with him!

You absolutely mustn't make him angry!

No, absolutely not! She can't keep being so willful!

She couldn't let the system deduct points because of her! No matter how men treated her—be it a pet or a maid—she could only silently accept it!

She needs to complete a mission to gain demonic power, and she wants to... go home.

She misses her father and mother!

Taking a deep breath, Tong Guang tried his best to calm his turbulent emotions! His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his delicate palms, drawing blood, but he didn't care.

Every move the girl made was observed by the man, instantly causing him immense pain in his heart.

He quickly stepped forward to examine the girl's palm, but she avoided him.

Tong Guang lowered his eyes, his face expressionless: "I'm sorry, sir, I apologize. I was out of my mind! Just pretend I was talking nonsense, please don't be angry."

This usually stubborn and proud girl suddenly became so compliant and humble, which pierced Si Hanye's heart.

He choked back tears, his voice hoarse and low, almost suppressed. "Don't be like this, Tong Guang. You didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing!"

She merely gave a slight twitch of her lips, without directly responding to the man's words, "Sir, please get some rest. I'll be leaving now."

Before she could finish speaking, she resolutely turned to leave, but the next moment her wrist was gripped by a warm, large hand.

"open!"

She didn't even look back, but spoke in a cold voice.

"Let me see if your hand is alright. I'll let go as soon as I'm sure it's okay!" A man's slightly pleading voice came from behind, but Si Hanye gripped her hand even tighter, determined to check it.

Tong Guang paused, holding his breath. The inexplicable emotions swirling in his heart suddenly became uncontrollable, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins!

With a determined heart, the arm tightly held by the man glowed with a faint pink light, and her demonic power instantly surged forth. She easily broke free from Si Hanye's grasp.

They sped away and quickly disappeared into the night.

What Tong Guang didn't know was that what shook off the man wasn't her demonic power, but her resolute attitude...

Si Hanye stood still, his gaze fixed on the direction the girl had gone.

Her long eyelashes closed, suppressing all her impulses.

His smile had faded, and his silhouette was colder than the moonlight.

Tong Guang rushed back to his bedroom as if fleeing, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

As if all her strength had been drained, she leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the floor.

She was alone in the room, and there was no need to hide anymore! She gasped for breath, as if trying to exhale all the air from her chest...

A surge of emotions overwhelmed her like a raging tide; she struggled desperately... gasping for breath...

Trying to get rid of this uncontrollable feeling is like being trapped in a swamp; the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Stubbornly tilting her head back, she bit her lip tightly, trying to force back the tears that were welling up! But the tears seemed to be playing tricks on her, sliding down her cheeks and onto the ground... splashing out teardrops.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her?

What exactly is she trying to cover up?

Why is the situation becoming increasingly out of control?

All she wanted was to regain her demonic power and return to the world that belonged to her...

Si Hanye stood silently outside the door, his dark, tousled hair softening his otherwise aloof features with a subtle air of quiet indifference…

He raised his hand, paused... and finally lowered it.

A door seems to separate two hearts like mountains and rivers!

The little rabbit had excellent hearing and listened to the faint footsteps fading away outside the door.

Suddenly, my heart felt empty!

It was as if all warmth had suddenly vanished.
