In Bai Jinghong’s understanding, many things require subtle, gradual influence.
Some people respond to forceful methods, while others can only be won over with gentle policies.
There’s always a process, from unfamiliarity to habit, from shyness to normalcy.
Their last intimate contact only went skin deep; it didn’t reach deep into the heart.
A little while later, Yun Mengxi brought the bath towel, but Bai Jinghong was nowhere to be seen.
She walked over to the guest room.
The moment she entered, she heard sounds coming from the bathroom.
Yun Mengxi’s face instantly flushed red.
“Jing… Jinghong, the bath towel… I left the bath towel on the bed!”
“Bring it to me. If you leave it on the bed, I’ll just drip water all over the carpet when I come out.”
Bai Jinghong responded immediately.
“Ah? O… okay.”
Yun Mengxi’s heart was thumping wildly. Fighting her racing heartbeat, she approached the bathroom.
Who knew that in the next second, Bai Jinghong would directly slide the bathroom door open.
And there he stood, completely bare before Yun Mengxi.
His hair, wet and dripping.
Droplets of water traced the lines of his muscular torso, following the groove of his abs downwards.
Especially that…
Yun Mengxi nearly screamed but managed to hold it in.
“Mengxi, just give it to me.”
Bai Jinghong smiled.
Yun Mengxi snapped back to her senses, hurriedly handed the towel over, turned, and fled.
Her pretty face was blushing fiercely.
Bai Jinghong just chuckled slyly. Indeed, a thick skin gets to eat the meat.
Yun Mengxi ran back to the kitchen before gasping heavily for breath.
That was really too embarrassing just now.
She tried hard to calm her emotions, but that scene wouldn’t leave her mind.
Still… his figure is really great… and… and it’s big too.
Bah… what am I thinking about!
Yun Mengxi wrestled with her thoughts, and it took a while before she calmed down enough to cook.
Right at that moment, not far from the villa, an uninvited guest silently arrived.
It was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen should have arrived much earlier.
But something maddening had happened: damn it, he couldn’t reach Yun Mengxi.
It seemed like his number had been blocked.
It was truly a case of speechlessness opening the door for speechlessness—speechless had come home.
He really didn’t understand where things went wrong. Why would Yun Mengxi block him?
Even if their current emotional foundation wasn’t deep enough, the worst case should just be her not really wanting to reply to messages. How could she resort to blocking him?
But since it had already happened, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Ye Chen walked to the front door, intending to ring the doorbell.
Although it was presumptuous, he had a reason to argue: he was concerned about Yun Mengxi’s health. This reason should move her.
Before he could even press the doorbell, he heard a sound from the back.
That was the direction of the kitchen.
Ye Chen suppressed his impatience, circled around to the back, wanting to see Yun Mengxi.
The fence was iron railings, not a solid wall. Through the iron railings, he could still see the scene inside the window.
Sure enough, when he reached the spot directly facing the kitchen window, he saw Yun Mengxi.
She was still breathtakingly beautiful, with a smile on her face, seemingly in a very good mood.
Ye Chen indeed found himself falling deeper.
Yun Mengxi was truly the perfect woman in his heart.
Ye Chen secretly swore that he must have this woman.
Just watching like this, he became somewhat entranced.
Every frown and smile, every gesture of Yun Mengxi tugged at his heart.
Having just her alone was enough.
Of course, if he had the chance to get Jiang Yueying as well, naturally that would be even better—after all, that situation was different.
Or Wen Chunyu, he wanted her too.
When a person’s gaze continuously watches someone, that person instinctively senses it.
Yun Mengxi felt like someone was watching her.
The moment she subconsciously looked towards the window, she saw Ye Chen gripping the iron railings with both hands, his face pressed between them, with a lecherous expression.
“Ah~” Yun Mengxi was truly startled.
Ye Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly raised his hand to wave. “Miss Yun, don’t be afraid, it’s me!”
If he hadn’t called out, it might have been better. But the moment he did, Yun Mengxi became even more frightened.
In Yun Mengxi’s understanding, Ye Chen was a pervert.
He had smashed her villa before, and now he dared to come all the way here to peep.
What next time? Would he dare to break in?
In her panic, Yun Mengxi directly grabbed a kitchen knife and pointed it through the air at Ye Chen.
“You… what do you want?”
Ye Chen was truly baffled. Was there something going on here that he didn’t know about?
But then he had an epiphany: Yun Mengxi must have been startled and hadn’t seen him clearly.
He hurriedly replied: “Miss Yun, it’s me, Ye Chen! I’m not a pervert! I just came to see you!”
The words themselves were fine, but by the time they reached Yun Mengxi’s ears, they had directly transformed into: “I, Ye Chen, am a pervert, I came to peep on you.”
“Get out, get out right now, or I’m calling the police!”
Yun Mengxi was absolutely furious.
Being targeted by a pervert was truly a terrifying thing.
Especially a pervert like Ye Chen who shits everywhere indiscriminately.
What if spraying feces was his fetish, and to scare her, he ran in to spray a pile, then ran off again?
Just like a dog peeing to mark its territory.
Just thinking about it was horrifying.
Ye Chen’s smile froze. He really couldn’t understand!
But seeing that Yun Mengxi was genuinely furious, he couldn’t push it, or any goodwill would be completely destroyed.
It must be that his arrival was too sudden and had scared her. After all, her previous villa had been harassed by bad people before.
But not being abrupt wasn’t an option—his number had been blocked; he hadn’t even had the chance to contact her in advance.
“Miss Yun, don’t get upset. I’ll leave for now. I’ll come see you next time!”
Hearing Ye Chen say there would be a next time, Yun Mengxi nearly lost it.
For a split second, her adrenaline surged, and she wanted to grab the knife, rush out, and chop him, eliminating the future trouble.
But suddenly it hit her—Bai Jinghong was in the villa! What did she have to be afraid of?
Her sense of security instantly multiplied geometrically. She wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Bai Jinghong’s arms that very second.
Thinking this, Yun Mengxi dropped the kitchen knife and ran towards the guest room.
By now, Bai Jinghong had already finished his shower. He’d put on pants, but no shirt.
The bath towel was draped over his head as he dried his wet hair.
In the next second, the door to the guest room suddenly burst open, and Yun Mengxi rushed in, her face tense.
“Mengxi, what’s…”
Before he could finish, Yun Mengxi threw herself into his arms, hugging him very nervously.
“Jinghong, there… there’s a pervert, that pervert Ye Chen…”
Seeing Yun Mengxi so incoherent, Bai Jinghong quickly wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t rush. Take your time. What happened?”
Yun Mengxi rapidly recounted what had just happened.
Bai Jinghong almost burst out laughing.
Damn, Ye Chen is truly an assist god.
Bai Jinghong wanted to treat him to a meal.
With something like this happening, scaring Yun Mengxi like this…
Even if he tried to leave tonight, Yun Mengxi wouldn’t let him go.
She might even beg him to stay.
When it came to cooking up sly ideas, Bai Jinghong’s mind worked at lightning speed.
He had already mapped out the entire sequence of events for tonight.
His staying over today was a certainty, but the two would still sleep separately.
Therefore, Ah Kun and those bikers should make another trip. This time, no smashing; just circle around the villa.
Yun Mengxi would definitely be terrified, connecting it to the previous incident, thus directly confirming Ye Chen’s identity as the pervert.
And again, she would be scared down from upstairs into his guest room, leading to genuinely sharing a bed.
Perfect!
If Ye Chen hadn’t pulled this stalker peeping stunt, it wouldn’t have evolved this way.
He could only blame Ye Chen himself for pushing the beauty into his own arms.
“Mengxi, I’m here. It’s okay!”
“Let me go see if he’s left!”
Bai Jinghong very naturally took Yun Mengxi’s delicate hand, and the two walked out.
Ye Chen had indeed already left. They could still see his silhouette. Nearby him, they could also see an older woman walking a dog.
Bai Jinghong estimated the distance; he should be over three hundred meters away.
Thus, a thought stirred within him.
The current range of Voice Control was within five hundred meters; controlling it now would still be effective.
He directly locked onto Ye Chen and activated Voice Control.
Ye Chen immediately shouted loudly at the dog-walking older woman: “Hey, you old crone, is your dog’s name Edward or Nina? Can it bark ‘Onii-chan’?”
“Do you mind having a tongue kiss with a handsome guy like me? Come on, baby, I like this wilted old cabbage of yours!”
