Ren Ye glanced at the group of young ladies in front of him, his sudden confession took them by surprise. One of them raised her voice in a dissatisfied tone.
"I used to think he was a decent guy. He told her that he was going to the store to buy milk to feed the growing baby inside her stomach. We didn't think he would use this opportunity to run away from his responsibilities as a father."
Ren Ye shrugged helplessly as he replied in a frank tone, "He is a failure, you should advise your friends to drop him. After all, it may not take very long before someone decides to come for his head."
His words startled the ladies as they looked at Ren Ye with astonishment, they somewhat sensed this man bore a grudge toward Li Zemin.
Ren Ye casually turned his head and entered the apartment, noticing the clean and spotless area surrounding his room. What made him quite happy was that the door was restored to its original state, appearing even more neat than before
"Ah, he didn't go back on his words. As expected of this guy," Ren Ye chuckled helplessly.
Ren Ye noticed a cactus pot in front of the room as he crouched down and read a note attached to the pot.
'Sorry man, here's the new door.'
Ren Ye crushed the note in his palm and took the cactus inside his accommodation, noting the clean and finished spots. Ren Ye felt slightly conflicted as the area surrounding his door was clean to perfection whereas the inside remained the same.
"Quite respectful from him," Old Yi remarked amusingly.
"He could have cleaned everything, it would have been easier for me," Ren Ye replied sarcastically as he placed the cactus on the table and went to check the fridge, noticing the lack of food there.
"My daughter is living so well in her Mama's home while her Papa lives alone in a pretty shabby place," Old Yi joked playfully with Ren Ye, Ren Ye crouched down and threw out the spoiled milk and vegetables from the fridge.
Ren Ye began to check his phone and ordered a pizza delivery, he didn't hesitate as he rushed into his bedroom and locked the door. Due to the traffic, the delivery will be quite so there will be plenty of time for him to meditate and balance the energy inside of his body.
Ren Ye took off his sweaty shirt and casually sat down on his futon as he crossed his legs in a lotus pose, he placed both of his hands on his knees as he breathed heavily.
"I've been feeling slightly out of control lately, almost as though my body feels completely not mine."
Noting that he lost control when the specter screamed.
"Who would have known a specter's scream would be this bad? It was only a low-level one as well!"
Ren Ye shook his head with a frown as he began to close his eyes, he began visualizing himself yet again.
It was the scene he had seen when he had first come into contact with his element. In front of him was a scene of a high above mountain, towering over him and covered in snow.
Ren Ye squinted his eyes as a burst of bright light bluish energy burst toward him. He suddenly sat up straight and panted heavily, he immediately frowned and turned his head around the room.
"Someone is here! How did I not notice this?"
Ren Ye jumped up in fright as he scanned the room, he rushed to turn on the lights. Although he had been cautious, he didn't realize someone was hiding inside his room.
This person's footsteps were extremely light almost as though they were nonexistent, this caused Ren Ye to panic. After all, fighting an enemy in the dark was much harder than fighting one in front of you.
Ren Ye was about to push the button before a feminine delicate hand landed itself on his wrist, pulling him toward them. Ren Ye, at the moment, was about to summon his halberd and strike this person at any moment.
Almost as though he was placed under a spell, Ren Ye felt helpless as that person pushed him onto ground, letting him land on his back roughly. Ren Ye stared in shock as the person slowly approached the light radiated from the moon.
An eye-catching face slowly appeared in front of him, the delicate features of the woman was shrouded in mystery and loneliness. Her bright hazel eyes lowered themselves onto him.
Jing Xue was inside his room all along.
Ren Ye felt his words were stuck at his throat as he struggled to mutter his word, "What are you doing here?"
Crazy! How did she find out where I live?
Jing Xue didn't reply as she watched him struggling internally in front of him, an undistinguished tempting smile crept up onto her alluring face.
Ren Ye's eyes darted to her dress as he noticed she was dressed rather revealingly, a gown showing off her cleavage and her bare back as though she had come here after leaving a formal event. His eyes darted with anxiety as he slowly recovered his composure.
Ren Ye felt his mouth went dry as his eyes unconsciously blushed from the view, he diverted his attention to something else.
"How did you find this place?"
Ren Ye tried to sit up but he was immediately pushed back onto his back, Jing Xue slowly came forward and placed her finger on his lips; gesturing for him to keep his mouth shut.
"You didn't tell me that you decided to come here."
She spoke slowly as she watched his every movement with her peering eyes, waiting for him to make a mistake and punish him.
A certain scene kept popping up in her head, it was of Ren Ye talking with that group of ladies. Although Jing Xue knew she shouldn't be selfish when it comes to giving people freedom, Ren Ye was an exception to this rule.
Ren Ye, who used to be cold and arrogant, wouldn't show a soft and gentle side of his to anyone else. Jing Xue selfishly believed such a side should only be shown to her.
"I came here because of my work," Ren Ye explained with a taciturn face as he laid on his back, not intending to attempt to stand up again after being pushed multiple times, "I forgot to tell you."
"You forgot about me? About Ren Jia?" Jing Xue lowered his eyes gloomily.
"Don't make me the bad guy here," Ren Ye interrupted her solemnly, "I told you I will be staying here until my work is done. I didn't forget about anyone."
Ren Ye felt frustrated about this woman's possessive nature, feeling as though he had to explain everything he do every day to her; praying she doesn't question him too much.
Jing Xue bit her lower lip as her eyelashes trembled, she sat down gracefully next to Ren Ye on his back as she watched him calmly, "Where were you?"
Heh? She didn't track me when I was with Ma Zheng? What a surprise.
Ren Ye sat up and came closer to Jing Xue, he casually faced his face toward hers in a domineering manner, causing Jing Xue to blush subconsciously.
"I was helping a friend of my friend with his business."
Since she won't let him go any time soon, I will be frank with her.
"Business?"
"Yes, Uncle Jie has gone somewhere. I decided to go to a store and the store owner comissioned me a job. I made extra money."
Ren Ye was honest with her, Jing Xue watched his expression inquisitively. This time, Jing Xue could feel his honesty and his willingness to communicate with her.
Jing Xue nodded her head, she wanted to hear him talk more.
"That person was plagued by bad luck and had me clean up his office, it was pretty worth it."
Jing Xue raised her eyebrow with curled lips, "You didn't do anything illegal?"
"Do I look like I would do something illegal?" Ren Ye's temples twitched.
"Yes."
"…"
Ren Ye grabbed her arms gently and pulled him toward her, his cold face remained the same, "So tell me what made you come here? You didn't tell."
Ren Ye was willing to initiate intimacy with Jing Xue when she drops her guards and questioning nature, he rather liked intimacy with her but refused to show any when she is throwing a tantrum.
Jing Xue came over and sat on his lap, she placed the tip of her nose against his cheeks, sniffing his cheek adorably.
"I thought you lied to me about living here so I came over to make sure."
Jing Xue gazed at his nose intensely, Ren Ye felt rather intimidated by her at times.
"This time, I am willing to be honest with you. I promised you before," Ren Ye replied in a monotone tone. Jing Xue rubbed her cherry lips against his cheek, caressing them gently.
"Although sometimes, you make me scared of you."
Jing Xue didn't reply as she pecked him on the cheeks, "You shouldn't be."
Ren Ye frowned as he turned his eyes toward her, her lips unintentionally landed on his eyes as she kissed them affectionately. She rubbed his jaw gently as Ren Ye rubbed her bare back comfortingly.
He noticed the extremely charming dress she was wearing tonight, he coughed lightly with a flush on his cheeks, "Where is Ren Jia?"
"She is with Wu Ling right now."
Ren Ye was slightly taken aback, Jing Xue chuckled.
"Zheng Ai is a friend of mine, she complained to the group that someone came to live next door and made trouble with her."
"I didn't expect it to be you."
"…"
Ren Ye coughed awkwardly, "What else did she say?"
"Nothing."
"…"
Ren Ye turned his head toward her slightly as her lips roughly landed on his lips, she pressed them softly as her nose sniffled amorously with closed eyes.
