Chapter 21: 🌿

I’m screwed!

Damn it!

Committing a crime against my wife?!

In bed, no less? At this hour?

Li Huayu, how the hell did you get in here?

Are you seriously playing the eight-foot-tall goddess sneaking up on a kid in the dead of night?!!

Lin Yi’s body went rigid, every muscle tensing.

Li Huayu brazenly wrapped her arms around another woman’s husband, utterly shameless, devoid of morals.

Zhuang Yayun pursed her cherry lips, mumbling in her sleep.

“Yi-yi…”

Zhuang Yayun slept soundly, her camisole twisted askew, her soft, glossy skin practically glowing.

Lin Yi’s gaze shifted from his wife’s neckline, feeling the soft pressure against his back.

Li Huayu’s breath was warm and fragrant, her red lips curling into a faint smirk.

“Miss Li Huayu, please behave yourself. If you really want to experiment, we can go to the living room,” Lin Yi whispered, careful not to wake Zhuang Yayun.

At his words, Li Huayu grew even bolder.

Not only did she ignore his request, but she became even more audacious.

Her smooth, pale hand glided over her thigh, fingertips glistening with crystalline droplets.

She slipped her fingers past Lin Yi’s neck, catching him off guard as she brushed them across the corner of his lips.

Lin Yi instinctively licked his lips.

The scent opened with faint musk, deepened into the sweet aftertaste of rich wine, and faded into a clean, watery finish.

Li Huayu’s cool, melodic voice, soft as a siren’s whisper, purred seductively.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

“It’s alright.”

“Good. I’d be troubled if you didn’t. How could a cute little pet like you have just one master?”

Li Huayu’s delicate hand returned to Lin Yi’s waist, tracing the curve of his side, gliding over his toned abs—sleek, strong, and perfectly defined.

She loved this feeling.

The thrill of embracing Zhuang Yayun’s husband right in front of her.

It was exhilarating.

Raised in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she spent her childhood buried in ancient medical texts, confined to her small room when not eating or sleeping.

She didn’t meet people her age until she was fifteen.

She even tested medicines on herself, which accelerated her growth far beyond normal.

At seventeen, she already stood at two meters and seven centimeters, towering over most.

Tests at her family’s hospital showed her height hadn’t even peaked yet.

She wouldn’t stop growing until nineteen, gaining at least twelve centimeters a year.

That meant another twenty-five, maybe thirty centimeters, pushing her to two and a half meters.

A height like that stood out even among basketball players.

Her extraordinary stature, coupled with a sheltered upbringing spent reading medical texts, shaped her eccentric personality.

Her understanding of the world came from the few non-medical books in her family’s library.

Her belief that men were toys stemmed from those pages.

But yesterday’s consultation with Lin Yi sparked a new realization.

Touching a pet could bring such unique pleasure.

And Lin Yi, this particular pet, fit her aesthetic perfectly.

Fragile yet strong.

A rare, captivating pet with only one master? What a waste.

She wanted to be Lin Yi’s secret master.

To assign him tasks as a master would.

Just like in those books.

Men were born to be women’s pets.

And women were born to steal other women’s pets.

She wanted to test Lin Yi’s limits~~

“No need to rush the experiment. We can take it slow. What we’re doing now is an experiment too. I want to see how your body reacts in this situation.”

Li Huayu scooped Lin Yi into her arms like a child.

At that moment—

The guilt of betraying his wife, the illicit thrill of crossing a line, the electric rush of danger—all of it tested Lin Yi’s nerves, like walking a tightrope between fear and excitement.

Yet, behind the thrill, he felt an odd calm.

And something else stirred in his heart.

“Miss Li Huayu, if Yayun wakes up and sees us, we’re both done for.”

Li Huayu replied carelessly, “That suits me just fine. You divorce Miss Zhuang, stop being her pet, and become mine exclusively. I’ll feed you the finest dog food every month.”

She lifted her long, slender left leg, draping it over Lin Yi, clamping down like a vice.

Her fingers trailed over his abs, teasing.

Her warm breath grazed his ear, occasionally nipping at it, her cheek brushing against his neck.

“Lin Yi, you’re not being good. Your body clearly loves this, but your mouth says otherwise.”

“I’m not being dishonest. I’m just telling you how it is.”

Lin Yi’s lips curved into a slight smile.

He turned, swiftly pinching Li Huayu’s smooth chin.

“Some pets aren’t so obedient. They bite. Or they climb on top of their master and take charge.”

Li Huayu’s eyes widened, her decadent, sultry gaze momentarily stunned.

Lin Yi’s thumb pressed against her soft lips, his teasing smile meeting her eyes with a provocative glint.

“Miss Li Huayu, if you want to steal another woman’s pet, you must’ve considered that some pets protect their master. Or bite. So, which am I? Will I bite you? Or will I let you bite me?”

The bedside lamp cast a warm orange glow, spilling dim light across the floor.

Li Huayu’s stunned gaze caught Zhuang Yayun’s dark hair, and a smug spark flickered in her eyes.

‘Miss Zhuang, you’re not a very good master, are you? Your pet’s about to turn on you.’

Suddenly—

Lin Yi’s fingers gripped her lower jaw, like one might hold a puppy’s mouth.

His gaze turned malicious, locking onto Li Huayu.

“Miss Li Huayu, I don’t care what you’re thinking. But if you dare ruin what I have, I’ll find a way to make you pay!”

“If not today, then tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then next week. If not next week, then next month! I’ll find my chance. Once won’t be enough—I’ll do it twice, three times! Even if I end up in prison, I’ll get out and make you submit!”

Lin Yi’s voice dripped with venom, his eyes chilling enough to send a shiver down the spine.

He was no longer the obedient boy who played by this world’s rules.

If someone came knocking with a hammer, he’d hit back.

If a beautiful girl threw herself at him, he’d take her on!

Be it Li Huayu, Luo Tianyou, or Shen Xixi—he wouldn’t shrink back anymore.

Even if Yayun decided she was done with her toy and didn’t want to stay married, he’d agree, chalk it up to misjudging someone again.

For now, his life was decent enough.

Anyone itching for trouble could come try!!

Besides, he had a special mission on his plate.

Complete it, and he’d gain the power of Star Platinum.

Li Huayu, you dare take me on?

Lin Yi gripped her jaw provocatively.
