After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 22 Ambiguity and Danger

"How could you do this!" Yusjia said, looking at Meng Weiyuan with displeasure.

Meng Weiyuan: "Hmm?"

He was clearly puzzled and didn't understand what Yuska meant.

Yu Sijia crossed her arms. She was petite, and especially when facing Meng Weiyuan, who was 1.88 meters tall, she seemed a little lacking in presence.

"I just casually complained that the house was a bit scary because no one lived there, and you want to move?" Yusjia asked incredulously.

Even her own father wouldn't indulge her like this.

However, Meng Weiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea. When he heard the implied question in You Sijia's words, he pondered for a moment and took the initiative to reflect: "It was my oversight. The wedding is at the end of the year. If we only have half a year, it may not be enough time to start construction on these houses overnight."

After all, a new house should be perfect and cannot be done carelessly.

Yustia: "..."

That's not what she meant at all!

Taking a deep breath, Yusia said, "Since this house is the wedding home that both sets of elders have agreed to, is it reasonable for me to change houses just because I said it's too quiet and I'm scared?"

Meng Weiyuan actually thought it was quite reasonable, since it wasn't their elders living in the courtyard house, but rather him and You Sijia.

He himself doesn't care where he lives, so Yusjia is now scared and thinks it's perfectly reasonable to change to a different wedding house.

But now, seeing the rather unpleasant expression on his fiancée's face, Meng Weiyuan silently swallowed the words that were almost on his throat and followed up with You Sijia's words, "That's unreasonable."

Sure enough, the next moment, Yustia's face showed a look of "this child is teachable" upon hearing this.

“This courtyard is quite nice, it just lacks a bit of liveliness, there’s no need to change it.” You Sijia said this without any reluctance. She genuinely felt that the courtyard house had a superior location. Since quite a few people came to their doorstep to take photos, Miss You thought it must be very good.

Besides, the house is quiet now because they haven't officially moved in yet; the housekeeper and nanny haven't moved in either. Later on, it certainly won't be like now, leaving her feeling scared living alone.

Thinking of this, Yusjia couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart.

Secretly pleased with herself, Yusjia inadvertently met Meng Weiyuan's gaze. She immediately cleared her throat, "Anyway, it doesn't have to be so complicated. You can wait a while before you leave." She paused, a little embarrassed, "Wait until I fall asleep before you leave."

The young lady thought for a moment, then added, "Is that alright?"

Although it was an inquiry afterward, the light in those big eyes already carried a certainty.

Like a proud and aloof kitten.

Meng Weiyuan couldn't help himself again and moved his fingers that were hanging down on the outside of his leg.

"Okay." He nodded.

After saying this, Meng Weiyuan went to the small tea room next door.

This room is separated from the king-size bed by only one wall. There is a tea station with a Western-style coffee machine and Chinese-style tea set, etc.

Yuska took her clothes to the bathroom.

When Meng Weiyuan heard the sound of dripping water, the man's brows finally twitched.

The house is still uninhabited, and there isn't even a magazine or newspaper to pass the time around this small tea station.

Therefore, the faint sound of water, which could not be concealed even by the bathroom door, seemed even more abrupt and clearer.

Meng Weiyuan lowered his head and pressed his brow with his hand.

He wasn't sure if his fiancée was just too trusting or too relaxed about him; she seemed completely oblivious to the problem of taking a shower with a man in the room. Meng Weiyuan took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant, Sang Qifa.

Sang Qiren had already finished get off work and was on a date with his girlfriend.

My boss is a workaholic; as the chief secretary, he doesn't get much rest. However, his annual salary is several times higher than that of the average person.

However, today was a day when Sang Qi got off work very early.

He learned from his boss that his fiancée, Miss You, had flown from Nancheng to Beijing today, and that his boss would probably try to cut back on work hours to spend time with Miss You.

When Sang Qi received a work message from his boss, he was completely bewildered.

This timing...

After Yusjia entered the bathroom, she realized that her usual bath products had not yet been delivered, so she had to make do with the shampoo and shower gel that were already stored in the bathroom.

After opening it and taking a sniff, Yusjia felt that the smell was somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the same scent she smelled on Meng Weiyuan earlier today?

Somewhat similar.

Yusjia recalled what Meng Weiyuan had told her that evening: that he personally purchased all her intimate personal items, such as pajamas. Suddenly, Yusjia felt that both the shampoo and the shower gel were burning hot.

It was as if she had deliberately attached Meng Weiyuan's scent to herself.

Yustia went into the bathroom readily, but when it was time to leave, she couldn't help but linger at the door.

Fortunately, she brought her usual skincare products with her suitcase this time.

After applying body lotion and essential oil, putting on a face mask, and using a series of nighttime skincare products such as moisturizing lotion, night cream, and neck cream, Yusjia came out of the bathroom.

Although Meng Weiyuan was talking to Sang Qi about work, he still subconsciously turned around when he heard the bathroom door being pushed open.

It took almost an hour and a half from when the sound of water stopped until Yustya came out of the bathroom.

Meng Weiyuan never imagined that anyone could stay in the bathroom for so long.

Turning around, Meng Weiyuan saw You Sijia walking out of the bathroom wearing the same pajamas he had personally chosen for her earlier that day.

Although the robe covered Yuska's forearms, which were as delicate as lotus roots, it couldn't hide her slender and shapely legs.

After the bathroom door was opened, Meng Weiyuan smelled a fragrance that was both familiar and unfamiliar in the air.

It has a very complex flavor.

It has both the crisp, resinous scent of cedar and the sweet, cloying aroma of ripe fruit, which together create a complex flavor that is hard to describe.

Meng Weiyuan couldn't help but raise his hand again and pinch his brow.

This sweet taste was quite unfamiliar to him.

"Finished washing?" Meng Weiyuan looked at You Sijia, who had darted from the bathroom door to the bed like a little rabbit, and a quick smile flashed in his eyes.

Yustya made a muffled "hmm" sound, which came from under the covers.

She belatedly realized just how ambiguous and... dangerous her current situation with Meng Weiyuan was.
