Chapter 4: 第三章 小试诱惑

“I don't know how to cook.” Chen Yuyue threw the words at him coldly. She spent all her time practicing martial arts and had never once stepped into a kitchen. If she had to cook, she would rather starve.

She stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling. The lamp was beautiful, shaped like a large flower, with glowing objects like night pearls resting on every petal. She didn't know how they were made, but they cast a pale yellow light that was soft and comfortable.

“You don't have to. I mean, I said I can cook.” Yu Luoxuan spoke these words without a hint of a blush or a racing heart.

“You can?” Chen Yuyue asked in disbelief. With a *gurgle*, her stomach betrayed her again. It was all because she had just chased his car; her physical stamina had been overextended.

“Mm, my skills are excellent. If you let me try, won't you know?” Seeing an opportunity, a trace of an imperceptible, wicked smirk curled at the corner of Yu Luoxuan's mouth as his sexy voice continued to entice her.

“But...” Chen Yuyue was no fool. She knew this man was a predator. Although he lacked martial arts, he wouldn't be so easy to deal with once his acupoints were released. However, her low resistance to the temptation of delicious food was her weakness.

“If you don't believe me, then forget it. Regardless, I'm no match for you. Let me cook a meal; I can't run away anyway. Besides, this is my home—where could I go in the middle of the night?” Though he was only twenty-five or twenty-six, he had been navigating the business world for years; describing him as cunning and old as a fox would not be an exaggeration. A simple girl like Chen Yuyue, who possessed nothing but martial prowess, could not possibly be his match.

He had realized this the moment she cried out in hunger.

“That is true.” Chen Yuyue muttered. She then stood up and walked over, looking down at him with a cold, heavy warning: “You can be released, but you'd better behave. I don't want to hurt you, and you are no match for me.”

“Hmph... this young master isn't stupid.” Yu Luoxuan remained arrogant. He could be deceived, but asking him to submit submissively? He would rather be killed.

Chen Yuyue couldn't be bothered to argue with such a person. She didn't understand the rules of this era, nor did she understand how the people here communicated or functioned. To complete her mission as quickly as possible and leave, she had to observe coldly to learn and understand. She needed someone like him to lead her; therefore, she couldn't let their relationship become too strained. Walking to the edge of the bed, she leaned over, raised her right hand toward his acupoints, and swiftly struck them.

*Hmph, success. Woman, trying to fight me? You're too green.* The corner of Yu Luoxuan's charming lips curled slightly, and wicked thoughts began to sprout in his heart like a demon.

The moment she touched him, Yu Luoxuan felt a surge of electricity flash through him, leaving his entire body numb. Just as he thought she was going to harm him again, he angrily lunged forward, grabbing the unguarded Chen Yuyue and pinning her down onto the bed. His sharp, dark eyes glared at her like a beast, as if he might devour her at any moment.

Pinned down like this, Chen Yuyue directly ignored his man-eating gaze. She only knew that the situation was extremely embarrassing. Her tight leather outfit pressed against the two small peaks of her chest, revealing their beautiful shape as they were crushed tightly against his solid chest. Meanwhile, his shirt buttons had been loosened at some unknown point, and his wheat-colored skin was something she dared not look at directly. She could only hold her breath, terrified that she might accidentally disturb the jade peaks of her chest.

She had never worn such clothes, nor had she ever been pinned down by a strange man like this.

After they stared at each other for a moment, Chen Yuyue finally calmed down. She tucked away her shyness, lifted her confused, cherry-like lips, and said indifferently, “Do you... still want to stay here like just now?”

“Damn it, you're the one who wants to!” Yu Luoxuan released her and stood up. Glancing at her nonchalant expression, he instantly felt an immense sense of frustration. She always seemed to wear this expression of being unfazed and devoid of desire. When she had just cried out in hunger, he almost thought he had seen things incorrectly.

Fine. Ferocity didn't work on her, and even the beauty he had always taken pride in was apparently ignored by her? When he had just pinned her beneath him, aside from his initial shock at her lack of reaction, she had remained so cold that even her breathing hadn't changed. Her half-smiling eyes seemed to be mocking his ignorance.

“**...” The more Yu Luoxuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he punched the refrigerator. *You dead woman, just you wait. I'll make you laugh, make you love, make you cry, make you ache, and make you know what humiliation feels like.* Deep hatred had already caused him to lose his reason. In truth, he didn't know that Chen Yuyue was also nervous; it was just that her martial arts were so good that by controlling her breathing, an ordinary person couldn't tell.

Yu Luoxuan took a deep breath to calm himself down. Don't rush; follow the plan step by step. He had always been a patient man. It just so happened that he had been bored to death lately, and having a woman deliver herself to his door was a good way to find some fun. Especially since she was a hot babe. Interesting!

He opened the refrigerator, took out a few bags of instant noodles, rolled up his sleeves, and actually started the fire to cook. This truly was his first time cooking for a woman. His wicked lips unconsciously curled into a playful smile. *Just wait, one day you'll pay me back double.*

“Mm, smells so good.” Sitting at the dining table, Chen Yuyue unconsciously swallowed hard. Biting her lip, she muttered to herself; she really wanted to rush in and see what it actually was.

“Here, eat.” Yu Luoxuan tossed the bowl toward her, speaking in a manner as if he were feeding a kitten or a puppy.

Chen Yuyue didn't mind at all. She caught it with both hands and saw a large, steaming bowl of noodles topped with a bright white egg. The rich aroma wafting out made her saliva almost drip into the bowl. She picked up the chopsticks, preparing to eat, but years of training made her wary.

With a *clack*, she put the chopsticks down, pushed them toward Yu Luoxuan, and commanded, “You try it first.”

Hearing this, Yu Luoxuan was initially confused, but then, upon sudden realization, a rolling fury ignited within him. Pursing his lips and clenching his teeth, he asked, “What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll drug it?”

Chen Yuyue did not answer him; she merely glared into his eyes, her gaze nakedly displaying absolute distrust.

“Tsk... eat it or don't.” Yu Luoxuan laughed out of pure rage, his exquisitely carved handsome face twisting slightly. This was likely the most absurd thing he had ever encountered, and she was the most abnormal woman.

Yu Luoxuan gave her a look of contempt and stepped forward, intending to brush past her. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuyue moved swiftly, grabbing his wrist. A single finger pressed against his pulse point; with just a bit of force, she could kill him at any moment. Her cold, heavy voice threatened, “Are you going to try it, hmm?”

“Ah... what did you do to me?” Yu Luoxuan felt his entire arm go numb instantly, nearly losing all sensation. He, who had never known fear, suddenly felt a surge of trepidation. But this sense of fear lasted only a few seconds before an overwhelming sense of humiliation swept over him, giving him the impulse to kill.

At this moment, she did not know that she had already been deeply marked for vengeance. And because of this, during her short but extraordinary journey in this different world, she would pay a heavy price.
