After a long while, Lin Ran finally regained his freedom. Luo Yao sat quietly beside him, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Ah Ran, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do this..."
Luo Yao's heart ached with guilt and pain.
When dealing with enemies, she could be utterly ruthless, but with Lin Ran, she only wanted to show tenderness.
Yet, she couldn't understand herself. She loved Lin Ran deeply, but sometimes she couldn't help but do things that hurt him.
Every time she felt a surge of frustration because of him, she couldn't resist the urge to grab him and inflict pain.
If she didn't punish Lin Ran, she would retreat to the secret room.
She didn't want to go to the secret room because Lin Ran didn't like her hurting herself.
But she also didn't want to hurt Lin Ran.
The more intense her inner conflict grew, the more obsessive her actions became.
Sometimes, she even wondered if she was going mad.
Lin Ran: "Do you remember what you asked me when I woke up earlier?"
"So don't say sorry. No matter what you've done, I don't blame you, because we're husband and wife."
Luo Yao shook her head. "But I feel uncomfortable."
Luo Yao felt uneasy because she had made a mistake.
Yet, the inexplicable anger she had felt earlier had vanished.
Now, she was more worried that Lin Ran would be afraid and run away from her.
She wanted to treat him well, but she was also afraid he would leave. Doing such things was both her idea and not her idea. This chaotic, insecure emotion was something no one could understand.
Her head was really aching.
Lin Ran: "Actually, I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I won't be afraid, and I won't run away. I just want to stay with you forever, building a safe haven for your heart over a lifetime."
Luo Yao looked at Lin Ran in disbelief. Every word he said seemed to resonate deeply within her.
So, he really understands me.
Luo Yao confidently handed over the item she was holding.
"Here."
Lin Ran: "???"
Luo Yao: "It's for you."
Lin Ran's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up.
Whether forced or willing, he had indeed suffered a lot in this life and the last.
Wasn't this the perfect opportunity for some well-deserved payback?
Lin Ran gripped the small object tightly, raising his hand. Luo Yao looked up at him directly, her eyes unblinking, not avoiding his gaze in the slightest.
As long as Ah Ran was happy, as long as he didn't blame her, he could hit or scold her as much as he wanted.
Lin Ran's hand lingered in the air. Looking into Luo Yao's eyes, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
In this regard, Lin Ran admitted he was no match for Luo Yao.
Luo Yao loved him more than he loved her—at least, that's what he believed.
But Luo Yao could still bring herself to act, and that was where this woman surpassed him.
Loving someone and hitting them didn't have to be mutually exclusive.
"Forget it. A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
The sparkle in Luo Yao's eyes brightened.
"Ah Ran... you can't bear to, can you?"
Lin Ran nodded, admitting it openly.
"I love you too much to do it."
Too much?
Luo Yao silently repeated those words in her heart, feeling as if something had struck her deeply.
"You can do it gently."
"Even gently, I can't bear it."
Luo Yao's gaze grew hazy. "In that case, let's change the punishment for now."
Lin Ran: "What punishment... Mmm!"
Luo Yao began to sway freely on top of Lin Ran, dancing as if in a trance.
Lin Ran tried several times to flip over but failed.
How could this little girl be so strong?
Here he was, a grown man standing at 185 cm, being completely overpowered by a woman barely 170 cm tall.
It was utterly ridiculous. Who was the man here?
After a long while, Luo Yao's startled cry announced the perfect conclusion to their performance.
Lin Ran: "When did your period end?"
Luo Yao: "Last night, probably."
After catching his breath, Lin Ran pulled Luo Yao into his arms.
"Is this punishing you? Is this really a punishment? Huh?"
Luo Yao looked up with innocent eyes. "What else would it be?"
Lin Ran grumbled indignantly, "This isn't fair. This is clearly a reward. I want a different punishment."
Luo Yao thought about it and realized it really didn't count as punishment.
"Alright, then you decide."
Lin Ran raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious?"
Luo Yao: "Dead serious."
Lin Ran smiled meaningfully. "Do you have any... black ones for me to appreciate?"
Luo Yao shook her head, but just as Lin Ran's face fell in disappointment, she pulled out her phone.
Liu Meng, who received the call, was utterly shocked.
Lin Ran stared at Luo Yao in confusion. Sis, are you really this bold?
Liu Meng, who had been woken up in the middle of the night, was both stunned and excited, her drowsiness completely gone.
So, this is how wild CEO Luo gets?
Without a second thought, she went to prepare what was needed.
Soon, Liu Meng personally drove to the manor and handed the items directly to Luo Yao.
This involved Luo Yao's privacy, so she couldn't let anyone else know. She hated gossip.
"CEO Luo, the items you asked for. Is it really this urgent in the middle of the night?"
Luo Yao glanced coldly at Liu Meng. "Yes, Ah Ran is eager to see them."
With that, she returned to the villa, leaving Liu Meng standing at the door in shock.
It seems it really was urgent.
CEO Luo is treating Young Master Lin this well? Just because he wanted to see something, she made her employee fetch it in the middle of the night.
And she asked for so many, in all sorts of colors. It wasn't hard to guess what they were for.
Young Master Lin is truly blessed.
Ahhh, I can't share this, I can't say anything. This is unbearable, truly unbearable.
Back in the villa's bedroom, Luo Yao sat on the bed.
"Do you like them?"
"They're beautiful. I love them."
Lin Ran sighed inwardly. No wonder so many people are obsessed with this.
It's not just about beauty.
It's also about the thrill.
The fact that Luo Yao was a domineering CEO only added to Lin Ran's sense of conquest.
Soon, the room was in disarray.
"Yao Yao, let me take charge."
Luo Yao obediently nodded.
"Whatever my husband says."
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
