Chapter 12: So Being Handsome Means You're Not a Pervert Anymore?

Yu Xi left home and returned to her rental place.

With her stomach growling in hunger, she clutched her somewhat aching belly and once again her gaze fell upon it,

Her rental was not far from home—a pity, since on one side was a luxury villa, no strangers allowed, yet on the other, a self-built unfinished building where the landlord would loudly press for rent, never imagining that her real home was right next door.

Could it be because she was pregnant, which is why her stomach was in such pain when hungry?

Unfortunately, after searching everywhere, she found only a box of instant noodles. Just as she mustered the energy to go boil water for them, the door began to rattle.

Yu Xi opened a crack in the door and upon seeing Gu Linhan's cold, annoyed face, she slammed the door shut in shock.

However, Linhan was quick to act, thrusting his arm through the gap, effectively blocking the door.

Yu Xi tried to dislodge it a few times without success, and as she looked up through the gap, she could see those bewitching eyes staring straight at her.

"Linhan, you're stalking me. Who let you come here?"

Gu Linhan looked at her disheveled little face, unmoving against the gap in the door.

"What, am I delaying your nostalgic reunion with that sissy?"

Sissy?

This man, his words were really asking for a beating, igniting a fire in her that was hard to suppress.

But had he witnessed that scene just now?

Yu Xi couldn't help but blush, deeply wishing he hadn't seen even a sliver of her life.

"If you, if you weren't around, I might already have rekindled old flames by now. He may be a sissy, but what does that make you with your three centimeters? At least he seems far better than you."

"Three centimeters?" He paused, recalling the size issue she kept stressing…

He narrowed his eyes, ready to blow up, but his gaze suddenly fell on her belly, and he couldn't help but smirk meaningfully.

"It must be hard for you, wanting to rekindle old flames. Too bad, if he knew that you're carrying someone else's child in your belly now, do you think he'd still want to touch you?"

Yu Xi's expression stiffened.

This despicable man, daring to bring that up.

Suddenly, her grip on the door tightened.

"Hiss…"

Gu Linhan's arm was caught off guard by her sudden strength, and it hurt.

"Yu Xi, you dare!"

Heh, what wouldn't she dare?

Seeing his face flush with pain brought her tremendous satisfaction—serves him right!

"Yu Xi, I'm giving you three seconds to open the door!"

If Yu Xi were that obedient, she wouldn't be Yu Xi.

"No, I won't."

"Yu Xi, you're looking for trouble."

"Being with you is no different from being dead, no need for me to seek it out."

"You…"

Gu Linhan was once again enraged by her, this damn woman. Every encounter with her must be shortening his lifespan!

"Yu Xi, you just wait!"

But at this moment...

"What's going on here, what's going on? Yu Xi, what are you doing? You're not letting people sleep! Our rental agreement clearly states you can't make noise after ten at night."

The explosive-haired landlord Aunt Liu emerged from next door.

"…"

On hearing this, Yu Xi cursed inwardly—dead, dead, all thanks to this damned Gu Linhan.

She let go of the door and said to the outside, "Aunt Liu, I'm so sorry, did I wake you? I just, I just…"

She blinked, catching a glimpse of Linhan still frowning and rubbing his arm, "Someone's been stalking me and harassing me at my door, Aunt Liu, quick, help me call the police, this person must be a pervert!"

"…"

Only then did Aunt Liu notice the tall man standing off to the side.

The previously drowsy old lady's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He was tall and upright, his chiseled face full of anger, amber eyes gleaming with sharpness. This man was even handsomer than the fresh-faced TV stars she'd been following in dramas lately...

For a moment, she almost transformed into a giddy fangirl.

"Oh my, handsome young man, why are you here so late at night… Hey, Yu Xi, what did you say? A pervert, are you mistaken? Did you just take the wrong turn and can't find your way, young man?"

"…"

"…"

Does being handsome mean you can't be a pervert?
