After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

Xia Yu was filled with shame and indignation. She grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at Jiang Ye like a madwoman.

As the president of the prestigious Blue Ocean Group, she usually mingled with refined business elites; she had never heard such vulgar, blatantly explicit, and crude jokes! This bastard dared to use such words to flirt with her!

Jiang Ye easily caught the pillow that was thrown at him and burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, just kidding, why are you getting so worked up, Mr. Xia?" Jiang Ye threw the pillow aside and said nonchalantly.

"Get out of here! Get out of my room right now! Get out of my house!"

Xia Yu pointed at the door, trembling with anger, her chest heaving, her nails digging into her palms. She didn't want to see this scoundrel who was spouting nonsense for even a second longer.

However, Jiang Ye acted as if nothing had happened. Not only did he not get out of bed, but he also pulled half of the blanket over Xia Yu and lay down comfortably.

"It's the middle of the night, and it's several degrees below zero outside. Where do you expect me to go?"

Jiang Ye put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and looked like a shameless rogue who wouldn't budge: "I'm not leaving. Since you're in a bad mood today and don't want to be intimate, then forget it, I won't force you. But I'll sleep here tonight."

As he spoke, Jiang Ye deliberately buried his face in the pillow and took a deep breath, letting out an exaggerated exclamation: "Tsk tsk tsk, President Xia, your bed smells so good! It's much more comfortable than the sofa in my shabby apartment."

"You...you're a scoundrel!"

Xia Yu was furious at Jiang Ye's shameless and overbearing attitude, which made her feel like she had taken over his place.

She rushed over to try and pull Jiang Ye up, but Jiang Ye was like a rock weighing hundreds of pounds, stuck firmly to the bed, and wouldn't budge no matter how she pulled.

"Don't waste your energy, go to sleep. I'll sleep here tonight." Jiang Ye muttered lazily with his eyes closed.

Xia Yu stood by the bed, looking at this man who had completely let himself go, her teeth itching with anger, yet she was helpless.

In fact, even Jiang Ye himself felt that his current state was completely different from when he was in the Shen family.

Lying on Xia Yu's soft bed, Jiang Ye felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

He completely let go.

Back in the Shen family, to repay a debt of gratitude, for that nominal family, and for his daughter, he suppressed all his sharp edges and his true nature, living like a cautious eunuch. He dared not speak loudly, dared not show his temper, for fear of displeasing Shen Qinghan.

But now, it's all over.

He had no further connection with the Shen family. He got divorced, left with nothing, and even that ungrateful daughter didn't want him anymore.

He had experienced marriage and seen through it all. He knew that it was highly unlikely he would ever easily develop genuine feelings for any woman again in his life.

As for money? He's already financially independent; Kunlun Capital earns more money every day than he could spend in several lifetimes.

He has no ties now, and his only thought is to wait until next spring to ride his BMW GS on a motorcycle trip, to travel around the world and see the sights.

Now that there are no constraints and no expectations, why should he pretend to be serious? Why should he care about his image?

Life is short, so do whatever makes you comfortable.

Faced with Xia Yu, this stunning beauty, he could flirt with her as he pleased, and act shamelessly as he pleased. After all, their relationship was just an agreement, each getting what they wanted, and neither owed the other anything.

The feeling of shedding all pretense and being a "rogue" at will is simply amazing.

"Jiang Ye, are you going to get up or not?!" Xia Yu warned for the last time.

"Huff... huff..."

Her response was Jiang Ye's deliberately feigned, even snoring.

"Fine! You're not leaving, huh? I'm leaving!"

Xia Yu stomped her foot angrily, knowing she couldn't do anything about this scoundrel. She couldn't possibly spend the whole night in bed wrestling with a man who was only wearing his underwear.

She turned around abruptly, not even bothering to put on slippers, and stormed out of the master bedroom barefoot on the carpet.

"Bang!"

The door to the master bedroom was slammed shut, making the walls vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, an even louder door slammed shut from the next room.

Hearing the noise from next door, Jiang Ye, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

He turned over, pulled the blanket tighter around him, and closed his eyes comfortably, smelling the lingering scent of roses in the bed.

"This bed is definitely much more comfortable than the one in Donghu Apartment."

Jiang Ye mumbled something and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Ye slept soundly that night. There was no cold face from Shen Qinghan, no messy affairs from the Shen family, only complete freedom and relaxation.

……

The next day.

The winter morning sun shone through the gaps in the huge floor-length curtains, casting a bright spot of light on the carpet.

Jiang Ye groggily opened his eyes and stretched. His bones cracked and popped, he felt incredibly refreshed after that sleep.

He turned his head and glanced to the side.

The bed was empty; Xia Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Ye sat up, scratched his slightly messy hair, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and glanced at the time.

It was already 9:30 in the morning.

"This woman gets up pretty early," Jiang Ye muttered, lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

He left the master bedroom, walked around the second floor, and then went down the stairs to the living room on the first floor. The entire villa was quiet and empty. Clearly, the icy female CEO had already left for work.

Jiang Ye went to the bathroom to quickly wash up and change into his own clothes.

His stomach promptly growled in protest. Last night at the Shen family's birthday banquet, he was so busy dealing with those trivial matters that he barely ate anything, and now he was starving.

"Let's go out and get a hot bowl of beef noodles."

Jiang Ye made up his mind, picked up the car keys on the coffee table, strode to the entrance of the villa, reached out and grasped the doorknob, and pressed down hard.

It wasn't pressed.

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't used enough force, so he increased the force and pressed down again.

The doorknob remained firmly in place, and the door was tightly shut without even a crack.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Ye frowned and looked down at the smart electronic lock on the door. A red exclamation mark was lit up on the lock's screen, below which was a line of small text: [The system has been locked from the outside; internal unlocking requires administrator authorization].

Jiang Ye refused to believe it and took out the spare mechanical key that Xia Yu had given him yesterday from his pocket. He inserted it into the spare lock at the bottom and twisted it hard.

It won't turn.

This expensive security door was not only locked electronically, but the mechanical lock cylinder was also locked from the outside three times.

Jiang Ye stood behind the door, staring at the seemingly indestructible gate, stunned for a good ten seconds.

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Oh……"

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. He reached out and touched his chin, a helpless yet amusing smile curving his lips.

"This young lady has quite the personality."

"Did they lock me inside?"

Clearly, this was Xia Yu's revenge for him for forcibly breaking into the master bedroom in the middle of the night and taking over the master bedroom.

On the surface, the woman angrily went to sleep in the guest room next door without saying a word. However, when she went out early this morning, she used her highest privileges to completely lock the front door from the outside, effectively trapping him inside the villa.

"Fine, you win."

Jiang Ye shook his head, not too angry. Anyway, he was unemployed now and didn't need to clock in at Shen's Group, so it didn't matter where he stayed.
