He carried the woman to the bed. Just as he was about to cover her with the quilt, she hurriedly crawled into his arms.

“Are you sleepy, Baby Ruo?”

Well, she was actually wide awake!

“Not really.”

“Why don't we watch a movie now?”

She pondered it with a frown. This was not a bad idea considering that she wasn't sleepy. At the very least, it would save her from his insatiable s.e.xual appet.i.te.

“Alright then.”

The man smiled to himself. His wicked plan was working! He reached over for his phone on the bedside table and searched for a horror thriller.

“Why are we watching a horror movie again? Aren't you afraid?” She sounded displeased as she grumbled in his arms.

“Yes, I am. That's why you need to protect me.”

In the end, the woman decided to feign fatigue. “I'm sleepy now.”

Alas, that was not enough to save her from the fear instilled in her by the initial horror film. The woman slept fretfully throughout the night and dreamt of a group of demons chasing after her. In fact, she woke up with a start two to three times during the night and had to be cajoled back to sleep by her husband.

That was not enough to save her from the nightmare, which continued to haunt her from the point where it had last stopped whenever she drifted off into slumberland.

The demons would laugh eerily at her and beckon. “Yo, here we meet again!” Then, they would continue to hara.s.s and torment her.

She almost went crazy as the demons beat her all night.

She looked terribly out of shape the next morning and had dark circles under her eyes. On the other hand, the young lady, who had been terribly frightened the previous night, looked better than ever in the morning…

w.a.n.g Yiyang and Zheng Yi left the residence immediately after breakfast.

“Little sis-in-law, are you alright?”

“I'm fine.”

Her husband pursed his lips anxiously. He hadn't known that she was this timid.

“Did you not sleep well last night, sister-in-law? You better make up for the lost sleep later.”

“Alright. You guys go ahead with your breakfast. I'm full. I'm returning to my room,” Ye Erruo told them, her face looking gloomy.

“Let me escort you upstairs.”

“It's not necessary.”

“Alright.”

“Boss, what do you think of Yahan? I want to take her to meet the rest of the gang.”

The girl was instantly piqued as she looked anxiously at Mo Jiangye.

“She's not as good as my woman,” he told the chap brashly.

“Yes… Yes… Little sister-in-law is perfect, but you can't compare her to Yahan. What do you think of her as a person?”

His Chief drank his milk without a word before asking, “Do you want to hear the truth?”

“Of course!”

The older man said without mincing his words, “She's untrustworthy.”

Fang Yahan could feel her heart breaking into pieces upon hearing his feedback. Tears rimmed her eyes instantly.

Mo Jiangye stood up and returned to his room without taking a second look at her.

“Wuuu…”

“Yahan, don't cry.”

“Xu Xu, your buddies and your boss don't like me! I know you're too good for me, but what can I do? My family background isn't something I have control over.”

Her man fretfully tried to console her. “Don't listen to him. He only has eyes for sister-in-law. No other woman is good enough in his opinion.”

“But… But your two buddies don't like me either.”

“The other two have been single for a very long time. They don't know how to evaluate a girlfriend. I'll bring you to meet other friends of mine later.”

“Alright,” the girl replied with a sob before asking, “Are we leaving today?”

“Yes. We'll leave after breakfast.”

The girl wanted to say something else but stopped herself. It would be a pity to leave this beautiful place with the good food and the nice bed. She had snapped pictures of the place yesterday and uploaded them to her social page, which had promptly earned her friends' envy.

She couldn't bear the thought of leaving so soon actually.

Meanwhile, Ye Erruo made a futile attempt to get some sleep in the bedroom. As a result, she looked worse than before.

She developed a fever that very night, which made her husband have a panic attack. The manor was steeped in anxiety and fear as servants scurried around trying to serve their young master, who was on the verge of a violent breakdown…
