Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet Chapter 5: An acquired taste

Xu Yi, concealed nearby: "!!!"

Peo... Peony Flower!!!

Damn it! This woman's acting completely different today—is she possessed?

How could she liken our boss to a peony?!

The boss is strikingly handsome, even from a man's view. However, no matter his stunning appearance, those who know him realize his brutal side.

Xu Yi cast sneaky glances at his boss but couldn't read his feelings from those shadowy eyes.

Is the boss... furious or not?

Right now, Gu Yue Ze gazed at the girl standing before him, overflowing with loathing and sharp words. Drawing on his remaining patience, he admonished her, "Fine... fine! Since you refuse to see reason, don't blame me next time you regret it for not letting me help you today! Ye Wan Wan, I've tried my utmost to aid you!"

Ye Wan Wan felt a wave of relief as Gu Yue Ze finally raged away.

In her prior life, she would've endured Si Ye Han's fury. Yet this time, she'd shifted her destiny because Gu Yue Ze left, while Si Ye Han...

Hmm, she couldn't tell exactly when he'd vanished.

Did I pass the test?

With Si Ye Han's mood so volatile and erratic, Ye Wan Wan refused to lower her defenses. After calming herself, she returned to the house.

The moment she entered the living room, that chillingly familiar voice seeped through her entire body.

"Come here."

From the sofa, the man's piercing stare trapped her like an expansive web.

Ye Wan Wan froze on the spot.

Reborn or not, her dread of this man remained etched deep in her bones, impossible to erase.

Still, to rewrite her fate, conquering this terror was essential.

Ye Wan Wan clenched her nails into her palms to stay composed, then gradually approached him...

Drawing near, she was yanked onto the man's lap in an instant, a sharp ache striking her lips—

Those icy thin lips crushed fiercely onto hers, nipping without sparing any spot...

Ye Wan Wan stayed motionless, compelling herself to avoid resistance that might provoke him.

She couldn't stop pondering how the bolder lipstick she wore today made her seem poisoned. Didn't its hue刺 his eyes? Why did he devour her lips with such intensity?

She first met Si Ye Han at 18. Across two full years, she donned various disguises, convinced one would repulse him utterly.

Had she known earlier, she never would've tormented herself with this appearance.

That realization hit Ye Wan Wan abruptly.

Was she really lost in thought while cradled in Si Ye Han's arms?

Snapping back, she noticed the pressure on her neck. Si Ye Han held her tight like a bolster, his head buried against her neck, warm breaths flowing in deep, even waves.

He'd dozed off...

How was that possible!?

Ye Wan Wan held utterly still. Only after half an hour with no stir from Si Ye Han did she murmur, "Si Ye Han...?

No response came.

He was genuinely asleep!

Standing anxiously by the gate not far away, Xu Yi had seen it all and shared the shock. His eyes gaped wide, as if beholding the impossible.

Ye Wan Wan shared the astonishment.

She remembered clearly Si Ye Han's chronic insomnia. His body resisted drugs far beyond normal, making medications ineffective. To sleep, he always needed an expert psychologist for hypnosis.

Most troubling, his condition was freakish, coupled with a massive mental blockade that rendered hypnosis incredibly difficult. In bad moods, it proved worthless.

The Si family had enlisted countless famed doctors for him, but none found a remedy.
