Chapter 14: 014 The Card-Playing Repeater

Eleven days. For eleven whole days, just when Su Zhirui was beginning to suspect whether her Lord had slept himself to death, that handsome man finally opened his eyes. Although his eyes could no longer be called eyes, he had only just stood up and taken a single walk, yet everywhere he went was met with bursts of laughter. Yi Huan frowned as he looked at the red-faced, stifling Yi Lun, and immediately narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

This time, it was Su Zhirui who unceremoniously burst into laughter, nearly shedding tears. Finally, Yi Lun could no longer hold it back and laughed loudly as well. Yi Lun knew well that no one would dare pluck hair from a tiger's mouth, but he had certainly witnessed his sister-in-law dare to draw poop on Fourth Brother's face. Even knowing that his Fourth Brother would be unhappy enough to kill someone, she waited until she had laughed her fill before saying anything.

"Sister-in-law, you're the only one who dares." Seeing Yi Huan turn back into the room, Yi Lun immediately gave her a thumbs-up.

"Of course." Su Zhirui raised an eyebrow with great pride, but in the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore. She saw a certain man walking out of the room with a dark, handsome face, and without a word, he hoisted her onto his shoulder and tossed her onto the bed.

"That... who told you to sleep for so many days? I was bored!" From inside the room came the woman's horrified screams, but the final sentence was undoubtedly this: "Hey! My new clothes! If you're going to tear them, please give me a heads-up first! If I had known, I wouldn't have worn such expensive ones!"

"Is he still angry?" Seeing Su Zhirui timidly and cautiously serving the master for several days, Yi Lun asked while suppressing his laughter.

"Hmph, stingy." Su Zhirui was bored, "slaughtering" flowers in the courtyard.

"To dare to draw on his face... in this world, you are probably the only one." Yi Lun helped her "slaughter" the flowers, his face still unable to hide his smile, but deep down, he felt more of a sense of being moved. It turned out there was actually someone who could keep his Fourth Brother in check.

"I know he's difficult to deal with," Su Zhirui replied with a disdainful pout.

"It's not that he's difficult... Fourth Sister-in-law, even all of us siblings couldn't break into Fourth Brother's world, but perhaps you can." Yi Lun's response carried a hidden meaning, leaving Su Zhirui lost in thought. Why? Just because he was willing to marry her?

Time was short, and it was impossible for her to understand exactly what kind of person her Lord was all at once. Her intuition told her that while he could provide her with a sense of security, life would be dull and tedious. It felt as though he felt his life had become monotonous and wanted to find some fun a little sooner.

Was that it? Tilting her head to look at the man sitting lazily in the rattan chair reading a book, the provocative ideas in Su Zhirui's heart began to expand and ferment once more.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, don't do anything reckless." Seeing the strange light in Su Zhirui's eyes, Yi Lun's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. Did he need to stay far away from this couple to avoid being caught in the crossfire?

"I want to go out for a stroll." As if she hadn't heard him, Su Zhirui walked straight up to Yi Huan and took the scroll from his hands.

"Have Shi Yi accompany you," Yi Huan replied indifferently, glancing at her before picking up another book beside him and beginning to flip through it.

"I want to plant more flowers and plants in the courtyard," Su Zhirui said without changing her expression, and then took the other book from his hands.

"Have Shi Yi accompany you." It was the same answer, but it made Yi Lun, standing aside, tremble even more with fear. Why was he being dragged into this? This woman with such great courage would surely drag someone down with her if she died.

"I want to practice calligraphy and learn the zither," Su Zhirui said again. Her meaning was obvious: she wanted him to accompany her. They exchanged a look, and Yi Huan snatched the book back, giving the same monotonous answer.

"Have Shi Yi accompany you."

"I want to have children." Although Su Zhirui was exasperated, she remained calm, because she wanted to see if he was truly an "Yi Huan Brand Repeater."

"..."

"Why aren't you letting Shi Yi accompany me anymore?" Su Zhirui asked patiently. Just as she was about to breathe fire, Yi Lun finally stepped in between the two of them, fearing for his life. "Uh, Sister-in-law, come on, let me accompany you for a stroll? There are many fun places in Ruoshui."
