Chapter 505: The Obedient Zhao Yu

—

“Haoran, you have to take responsibility for me!”

Zhao Yu wasn’t someone bound by the “traditional” idea that being touched meant lifelong commitment.

In fact, this time, she had willingly thrown herself into the situation.

However, as she gazed down at Wang Haoran’s face, she put on a “victim’s” expression:

“Who told you to act without asking first~”

“……”

Although this was exactly the outcome Wang Haoran had hoped for.

He had initially thought Zhao Yu would be more hesitant, perhaps playing hard to get. He hadn’t expected her to be so bold…

—

The Next Morning.

Zhao Yu’s warm body was still nestled in his arms, sound asleep.

But Wang Haoran hadn’t slept a wink all night.

He was puzzled—

Last night… why had Zhao Yu suddenly started calling him “Director”? And so naturally, too!

Her movements, as well, were just as skilled as Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang’s!

But she hadn’t built a school and hired him as the director, had she?!

At this moment.

Watching Zhao Yu’s peaceful sleeping face, Wang Haoran lightly pinched her rosy cheek.

“Mm~” Zhao Yu slowly stirred awake.

Her sleepy, dazed expression quickly turned into a smile when she saw Wang Haoran’s face up close. She leaned in for a kiss.

Muah~

However, after they parted.

Zhao Yu’s already flushed cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red—

Even her neck was red.

It was pure embarrassment.

Now fully awake, she finally remembered her outrageous behavior from the night before.

“I-I…”

“I’m sorry…”

She couldn’t come up with any excuses to defend herself.

She could only lower her head, avoiding eye contact, too ashamed to speak.

Thankfully, she didn’t remember the things she had said in her blanked-out state last night. Otherwise, she might have fainted from embarrassment!

Seeing her revert to a shy, innocent girl.

Wang Haoran spoke slowly: “Now that things are like this… what do you think we should do moving forward?”

“I-I…”

Feeling Wang Haoran’s hand leave her waist, Zhao Yu instinctively grabbed it and pressed it back.

“I’ll listen to you…”

“I’ll do whatever you want me to…”

Afraid that Wang Haoran might not understand her implication, she added:

“Just… don’t let Sister Nan find out…”

Zhu Nan’s clothes were already messily tossed aside.

Though embarrassed, Zhao Yu, recalling her efforts from the night before, mustered the courage to cling to Wang Haoran.

She hoped he would say something like, “We’ll keep this a secret from Nan’er and be together in secret.”

Just then.

The sound of the door opening interrupted them—

“What don’t you want me to know?”

It was Zhu Nan, back from her “work.”

She walked over to the bed, sat down, and, seeing the two snuggled together, suddenly yanked the blanket off.

Then, staring at the “exposed” pair, she sneered:

“Heh, Xiao Yu, I asked you to pass a message to Haoran for me last night.”

“Is this how you ‘passed’ it?”

Caught red-handed, Zhao Yu could only lower her head in shame. “I’m sorry…”

“Hmph, if ‘sorry’ fixed everything, what would we need the police for?”

“Let me ask you two—who made the first move?”

Hearing Zhu Nan’s question, Zhao Yu lowered her head even further. “It was me…”

But before she could finish, Wang Haoran pulled her delicate body into his arms and, with a sheepish smile, said to Zhu Nan:

“It was me.”

“Xiao Yu walked into the wrong room, and I caught her.”

“And it’s your fault, Nan’er, for breaking your promise and not coming last night!”

“Hmph, I had urgent matters to attend to. Couldn’t you have waited? I rushed back early this morning just to be with you!”

“Knowing I can’t live without you, you take full advantage!”

Seeing the two of them acting so close, Zhu Nan half-jokingly complained.

“And the first thing I see when I walk in is you cuddling with Xiao Yu!”

Wang Haoran, thick-skinned as ever, remained unfazed, so Zhu Nan turned her attention to Zhao Yu:

“Xiao Yu, I specifically asked Haoran to treat you, and this is how you repay me?”

“I’m sorry…”

Zhao Yu’s upbringing told her she should leave Wang Haoran’s embrace, apologize sincerely to Zhu Nan, and promise never to do it again.

But, held tightly by Wang Haoran, her muddled mind made her do the opposite—she leaned into him even more, right in front of Zhu Nan.

She felt guilty toward Zhu Nan, yet at the same time, she hoped Wang Haoran would declare to Zhu Nan that she was now his woman.

This scene made Zhu Nan “grit her teeth” in frustration.

“Hmph, ‘sorry, sorry’—what good is just saying sorry!”

With that, Zhu Nan forcibly pulled Wang Haoran into her own embrace.

“If you two don’t apologize properly, I won’t forgive you!”

Hearing Zhu Nan’s tone soften, Zhao Yu quickly asked:

“Sister Nan, h-how should we apologize?”

“It’s simple.”

After lightly punching the playboy Wang Haoran’s chest, Zhu Nan walked over to the wardrobe.

She pulled out—

A set of attire complete with a collar.

“This scoundrel has always wanted me to wear this.”

“Hmph, it’s so embarrassing—like I’d ever wear it!”

(Though she had worn it many times before.)

“Since you’re the one throwing yourself at him, you can wear it instead!”

“Don’t tell me you’re too scared.”

“If you don’t even have the guts for this, how dare you sneak around!”

With that, Zhu Nan shoved the outfit into Zhao Yu’s hands.

“……”

Looking at the outfit in her hands, which was even more revealing than being completely naked, Zhao Yu’s face turned so red it seemed like steam might come out of her head.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth.

As long as Sister Nan wouldn’t blame her and was willing to give her a chance—

“I-I’ll wear it…”

—

Meanwhile.

Unaware that her daughter was being roped into a “roleplay” by her Aunt Zhu and Wang Haoran.

Chen Lan was still busy planning for her dear friend’s son—

“S University, huh… But most of the Zhao and Chen family businesses are in V City…”

If they didn’t go out of their way to V City, the businesses in S City were just minor ventures.

Since this was her friend’s first time asking for help, Chen Lan wanted to do a good job and not just brush it off.

So she immediately thought—

“Ah Nan’s boyfriend, Wang Haoran, is with the Wang Group in S City…”

“If I ask him to look after Qin Fan…”

With that thought, Chen Lan eagerly dialed Zhu Nan’s number.

“Hello, Ah Nan?”

On the other end of the line, seeing who was calling.

Zhu Nan had no choice but to pause what she was doing.

“Xiao Yu~, your mom’s calling me. You go ahead first!”

Zhao Yu nodded quickly.

“Wang~”
