After a day had passed, Lin Yan stayed in the house. The book in her hand had already been flipped over, and the sky was already dark.

Just as she was about to get up, there were heavy and steady footsteps outside the house. Lin Yan's breathing suddenly became short.

Lin Yan did not know what kind of mentality she should have to face such a person again.

Just as Lin Yan was struggling, the footsteps at the door stopped, and a woman's voice was heard.

"Mr. Ji, are we staying here tonight?" A woman's voice came through the door and slowly crept into Lin Yan's heart.

Lin Yan didn't know what she was waiting for, but her heart beat faster.

She reached out to hold her chest, trying to slow down her heartbeat, but it didn't seem to work.

"No, not there." After a while, the man at the door said.

Just as Ji Linhuai was about to speak, Lin Yan's heart started beating faster. The little heart in her chest seemed to be about to jump out, but after hearing what Ji Linhuai said, it became much calmer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard and slowly left.

When Lin Yan put down the book in her hand and stood up, it was already dark outside.

"Lin Yan, what exactly were you looking for just now..." Lin Yan leaned against the bed and sat on the ground, smiling helplessly.

The three years she spent with Ji Linhuai shouldn't have been three years in captivity. He basically went home every day, and even if it was late at night, he would still return to this villa. Moreover, even if there were any rumors outside, he had never brought a woman back to this villa in the past three years.

After a while, Lin Yan obediently took a shower and went to bed.

What she had to do now was to refresh herself and prepare to fight against Ji Linhuai, even though she was not even as good as him.

On the first night, Lin Yan was allowed to move around in the villa. At night, Lin Yan cooked three dishes and one soup for herself.

She thought about how she had enjoyed eating three simple dishes and a soup with Lin Yi and her adoptive parents in the past, but now, she had no appetite for these.

"Mr. Ji."

While Lin Yan was eating, she heard the bodyguard at the door call out Ji Linhuai's name. Lin Yan's hand that was holding the food couldn't help but tremble, and her heart beat rapidly.

Lin Yan looked up just in time to see Ji Linhuai holding a woman walking in through the quaint screen.

"Mr. Ji, your house is so big! I didn't expect you to like something so quaint!" Today's woman's voice was sharper than last night's, like a lark.

Lin Yan could see through the gap in the screen that the woman was wearing a modified cheongsam skirt. She looked very elegant, but she was wearing heavy makeup.

The woman let go of Ji Linhuai's hand and walked to the screen to take a closer look. Lin Yan felt very uncomfortable when she saw it. She had personally chosen this screen. Now that other women were looking at it like this, she felt as if someone was coveting her things.

But then again, the foods, the clothes, all the staffs she was using, were belong to Ji Linhuai.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan looked away and ate the simple dinner.

"Oh, Mr. Ji, I can't tell that you're hiding a beauty in your house." The woman saw Lin Yan through the screen and turned to say this to Ji Linhuai. Ignoring Ji Linhuai's reaction, she walked towards Lin Yan.

Lin Yan knew that the woman had walked over, but she did not want to bother with her.

They were all bitches! They didn't need to embarrass each other!

This was the real thought in Lin Yan's heart.

Ji Linhuai didn't seem to have heard what that woman said. He ignored her and went straight to the wine cabinet to get two glasses of red wine.

One glass was handed to that woman, and the other was held in his hand. He looked down at Lin Yan, merely stared

Lin Yan was having dinner while the two of them looked down at her. It was as if she was the animal, being watched at the zoo. Lin Yan hated this feeling.

But now she can only force herself to calm down.

"Mr. Ji, I didn't expect you to like such a woman." After a moment, that woman spoke again. Her words were full of provocation, and she had the contempt to Lin Yan from the inside out.

Lin Yan couldn't stand being looked at like this by a woman, so she finally stood up and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. "I'm sorry, I'm done." Lin Yan smiled at the woman in cheongsam and turned to go upstairs.

When Ji Linhuai saw Lin Yan go upstairs with her head held high, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Lin yan didn't come out after entering her room. The room was pretty soundproof because she didn't hear any noise. She didn't even hear Ji Linhuai go upstairs today.

"You can leave now." After seeing Lin Yan go upstairs, Ji Linhuai whispered to the woman in the cheongsam with her back to him.

Although his voice was quiet, it was cold.

"Mr. Ji, didn't you say that tonight..." The girl in cheongsam was slightly stunned when she heard Ji Linhuai's words. She put down the glass in her hand and walked up to hold Ji Linhuai's hand. Her breasts were constantly rubbing against Ji Linhuai's arm, and her eyes were filled with unspeakable ambiguity.

Ji Linhuai turned his head slightly and looked at that girl coldly. His slender fingers were shaking the goblet gently and his voice was cold. "You'd better not let me say it again."

Hearing Ji Linhuai's terrifying voice, the woman was obviously shocked. She quickly let go of Ji Linhuai's hand and took a step back. When she was supporting the table, she accidentally knocked over the red wine on the table.

Without words, Ji Linhuai gave her a look coldly.

The woman panicked and ran out.

Ji Linhuai asked someone to clean up the spilled red wine before sitting in Lin Yan's seat and eating Lin Yan's dinner with the clean bowl and chopsticks.

There was a faint joy in Ji Linhuai's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Mr. Ji, do you need me to prepare the dishes again?" Aunt Li walked up and asked softly.

"No need. Auntie Li, you can go and rest." Ji Linhuai said slowly, his voice was much gentler than before.

Aunt Li had watched Ji Linhuai grow up since she was young, and Ji Linhuai was more gentle towards her.

"Okay." Aunt Li said and left. She knew Ji Linhuai's temper, so she didn't say anything else.
