At the very beginning, I was a victim of coercion.

How could their status have been reversed so quickly?

Cheng Diemeng looked pitiful yet adorable, as if she had lost herself, staring blankly at Jiang Tang.

"Stick out your tongue."

"..."

Cheng Diemeng, her face flushed and heart pounding, numbly carried out any instructions he gave her.

"Then his eyes rolled upwards..."

Cheng Diemeng did as she was told, no longer knowing whether this was a temporary measure she had taken to escape from Jiang Tang's clutches.

Or is she just naturally so easily swayed?

To be honest, even for Jiang Tang, the scene before him was somewhat stimulating.

A sickly, short-haired girl in a dimly lit room. Her hands are easily restrained by herself, held high above her head and pressed against the wall behind her. The girl has lost the will to resist, her eyes are glazed and fragile.

Her delicate features now seemed to possess a certain... "desire".

He was very satisfied and decided to give Xiaomeng some necessary rewards.

The purpose of these rewards is to maintain the contract between the two and to stop Xiaomeng from engaging in self-harm.

Rather than letting her continue to harm her body.

The best solution would be to have her hand over her body to someone who knows right from wrong.

But just before Jiang Tang uttered the next syllable.

Instead of his voice, or rather, completely drowned out the noise coming from the doorway.

The sounds of locks being quickly unlocked and doors being pushed open, click and creak.

Someone burst through the door, but even faster than her was a chilling red dot.

The red dot points directly to Zhong Cheng Diemeng's forehead.

Then came a familiar female voice, calm yet tinged with worry—or perhaps not so familiar, but one I had indeed heard not long ago.

"Jiang Tang, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang was taken aback.

Do I look like something's wrong in my current state?

On Cheng Diemeng's side...

Jiang Tang's eyelids twitched; there couldn't be a worse situation than this.

I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself even if I jump into the Yellow River!

He quickly released his grip on Cheng Diemeng's wrist.

The latter, however, was powerless and collapsed to the ground, his pupils still slightly vacant, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless.

In contrast, Jiang Tang appears both imposing and despicable.

The person who came was Ren Qianning, who had just met Jiang Tang that morning.

Heaven knows why she was so persistent, still putting herself into the role of protecting Young Master Jiang Tang, acting from beginning to end.

Even more unbelievable is how she knew that she and Cheng Diemeng had entered the warehouse?

If this continued, Jiang Tang was starting to suspect that he was being monitored and that Ren Qianning was indeed someone sent to protect him.

Her sniper rifle wasn't a toy; it was real.

But—how is that possible?

"I... this..." Jiang Tang didn't know how to explain for a moment.

As Ren Qianning's lips twitched, she turned off the infrared sight and slowly put away her big gun.

She turned and left, leaving behind only four words.

"You may continue."

In principle, she is only responsible for protecting Jiang Tang's safety. As for who he dates, or even...does something strange, that's none of his business.

She had no authority over them, and the higher-ups were happy to see it happen.

?070 I will satisfy you

Why did it take you so long to come back?

Shi Xue waited anxiously at the entrance of the maid shop showroom, finally welcoming back her masters Jiang Tang and Cheng Diemeng.

They pushed their carts, one in front of the other, each looking somewhat awkward, the carts piled high with goods they had brought from the warehouse.

Fortunately, it wasn't the busiest time of the afternoon yet, and there were still enough raw materials in the exhibition hall.

Moreover, Cheng Diemeng looked very weak and tired, with her chest rising and falling rapidly in small increments, accompanied by faint panting.

Her gaze was blank, but after hearing Shi Xue's voice, she turned from Jiang Tang's back, which was originally reflected in the image, to Shi Xue, who looked puzzled. Her gaze trembled, and she quickly looked away, blushing as if she were ashamed.

Cheng Diemeng is indeed finding it difficult to face her sister Shixue, who is still kept in the dark.

This state must be maintained for at least a considerable period of time.

"Admiring Shi Xue's chibi figure took up a little more time."

Jiang Tang quickly recovered from his awkwardness, revealing a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, and said softly.

"Master!"

Shi Xue blushed, but it wasn't because she was blaming her master.

It's more like... Little Dream is still here, please restrain yourself, otherwise it's a little inappropriate for children!

Xiaomeng looks petite and delicate, like a junior high school student.

At least Shixue always treated her like a little sister.

Ignoring her glib-tongued master for the moment, Shi Xue strode forward to Xiao Meng's side and looked into her eyes with concern.

The latter subconsciously hesitated, even towards her only friend, Sister Shixue, whom she considered her pillar of support.

"Master didn't bully you, did he, Xiaomeng?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang's eyelashes fluttered; he had thought that Shi Xue had actually discovered something.

In situations like these, Xiaomeng's answer becomes especially crucial.

It was done in accordance with his final command to conceal the truth.

Or will he betray them on the spot and reveal his true colors...?

Jiang Tang narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he listened with great interest.

Sometimes, toys that are too well-behaved become boring.

"..." Xiaomeng's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her breathing became a little rapid.

Then, she shook her head violently.

This means "no".

Jiang Tang then skillfully interjected into their conversation.

"Shixue, where are we moving all of these?"

"That's fine." Shi Xue pointed to the location.

Then Jiang Tang and Xiao Meng pushed the cart away from Ye Shixue.

Xiao Meng's back view looked somewhat pitiful, but she followed Jiang Tang's footsteps with unexpected effort, like a... docile pet.

The reward for helping out at the maid shop is that Jiang Tang has the opportunity to choose any maid to accompany him.

Many women flirted and posed in front of him, hoping for his favor. This was a privilege granted to him by Manager Han Ying, and it even fooled Shi Xue, who was far away.

Among all the maids, Xiaomeng could truly be considered the most inconspicuous one.

It's not that they are vastly different in beauty; Cheng Diemeng is very pretty, with a delicate and graceful appearance.

She just doesn't know how to present herself. She keeps her head down and refuses to make eye contact with the guests. How can she possibly captivate their hearts?

But Jiang Tang specified her, so the two of them could enjoy desserts, snacks and drinks made by the other maids in the shop, facing each other at a two-person table.

Jiang Tang really liked the onion rings here; they were crispy and crunchy, making a distinct "crunch" sound when you bit into them.

“You seem a little afraid of me, Miss Perpetrator.”

Jiang Tang's words were still as ruthless as ever, but in reality, Cheng Diemeng was clearly the one who suffered more.

"..."

She didn't know what to say; her meeting with Sister Shixue had left her feeling completely disoriented.

She knew she had done something wrong, and what was really wrong was that she had provoked Jiang Tang, a guy who was... extremely good at tormenting people.

He was far from being as gentle and upright as he appeared on the surface; on the contrary, he had a rather wicked sense of humor.

It inspires fear, yet leaves one powerless to resist.

"……sorry."

"Sorry alone is not enough to earn my forgiveness."

Jiang Tang said this as if it were a matter of course, speaking in a polite manner as if he were having a kind and gentle conversation with the girl.

At least from a distance, that's how it appears.

Why... did it turn out like this? Cheng Diemeng's thoughts were in disarray. Perhaps she was indeed at fault first, but she should have already received the punishment she deserved...

"Tell me about your past. I didn't call you here hoping you'd hang your head and remain silent."

"I want to know where your twisted, misguided dependence on my Shixue comes from."

"That way, I might be able to find the right remedy and cure you, you yandere brat."

“Lift your head and look at me.”
