Chapter 02 part 2

Giving All the Handsome Men and Beauties in the World a Home 

…If one day he could catch up to her.

Would she also act spoiled toward him like this and ask for hugs…?

…

“Tan Shen, you lied to me!”

Xie Yurou hurried back to her room, only to realize there was still more than an hour before the agreed time. Tan Shen had deliberately given her the wrong time and made her rush all the way back in panic.

“Did I?”

The man leisurely peeled a lychee and held the snowy-white fruit flesh to her lips, his tone calm.

“Must’ve remembered wrong.”

There wasn’t a trace of guilt on his face.

Xie Yurou narrowed her fox-like eyes and looked at the lychee offered to her mouth.

She opened her mouth—and instead of biting the fruit, she bit the man’s finger.

Her small white teeth deliberately pressed a little harder, but Tan Shen had thick skin and flesh; he didn’t feel much pain.

His deep, sexy voice let out a low laugh.

“Miss, are you eating lychee, or eating me?”

Xie Yurou raised her eyes. “Hm?”

The moment Tan Shen said it, he realized the wording sounded ambiguous. The faint smile on his lips slowly disappeared.

His brows lowered slightly as he withdrew his hand.

“Take it and eat it yourself.”

Xie Yurou: “?”

The little fox in the red dress sat on the chaise lounge, messy hair twisted into a tiny bun atop her head. When she glared at him, her expression looked fierce in an arrogant way—vivid and exquisitely beautiful.

“You’re even making me eat lychee by myself. Then what’s the point of having you as a bodyguard?”

Tan Shen: “…”

He was nearly amused into anger.

A bodyguard was there to protect her personal safety—not to act as a nanny feeding her lychees.

But saying that would be pointless. The eldest Miss of the Xie family had always been domineering.

Completely unreasonable.

Tan Shen could only bend one knee and crouch beside the couch, peeling another lychee and feeding it to her again.

Then, in a casual tone, he asked:

“Why did you choose him?”

Xie Yurou froze for a second, not understanding.

“What?”

Tan Shen didn’t answer, letting her figure it out herself.

Only then did Xie Yurou realize.

“The new dance partner?”

She was sly and clever. Instantly connecting it to the false report of the time, her fox eyes curved with interest.

Leaning closer to him with a smile, she asked:

“Tan Shen… don’t tell me you’re jealous?”

“…”

Tan Shen lifted his eyes indifferently, his gaze landing directly on her beautiful collarbone. A few loose strands of hair swayed there, brushing lightly over skin curved enough to seem like it could hold wine.

His gaze paused briefly before shifting away calmly.

“You’re overthinking.”

His voice remained as cold and emotionless as ever.

“He looks stupid.”

Xie Yurou looked slightly disappointed and swung her slender pale legs.

Thoughtfully, she said:

“A little, I guess. I accidentally stepped on him and he didn’t even say it hurt. But that’s not really a flaw—at least he’s pretty obedient.”

“And he looks decent too. I’ll use him for now.”

The school heartthrob whose professional ability ranked second.

Tan Shen let out a dismissive chuckle and said nothing more.

Seeing he’d stopped peeling lychees, Xie Yurou licked her lips and poked his arm with her fingertip.

“I want more.”

Tan Shen stood up directly and refused.

“Stop eating. Go take a bath. Madam will be here soon.”

“…”

Xie Yurou was so annoyed she wanted to kick him. Fiercely, she snapped:

“If you keep disobeying me, sooner or later I’ll replace you!”

Tan Shen lowered his eyes to look at her.

“Mm.”

His indifferent reaction made her even angrier. She threw the remaining half-lychee straight into his arms.

“Don’t waste food…”

The young miss ignored him completely and stormed toward the bathroom.

Holding the half-eaten lychee she had bitten, Tan Shen lowered his gaze toward the trash can.

In the end, he rubbed his brow helplessly.
