Up on the second floor, Wan Yunting asked Shi Qiang and Ruan Yanxin to go downstairs, while he pulled Fang Yanxi to sit in the living room. He sighed before saying, "Let me put it this way, that girl's mother did say that if I wanted to be the Abbot, I had to marry her daughter. But I explicitly refused. Later, my ancestor spoke, and I could become the Abbot without marrying her daughter, so I did."
Fang Yanxi looked at him and calmly asked, "Then why is she here now?"
Wan Yunting replied, "Her father just passed away, so her mother wants her to come down the mountain and stay in Hua Du City for a while to change her mood."
Fang Yanxi, understanding, nodded. She actually believed the man and had seen Duan Yingying acting deliberately just now.
"You have no idea how troublesome and willful that girl is, even more so than my second brother's wife's sister. Once she annoyed me, so I beat her up severely. As a result, she held a grudge and kept thinking of ways to get back at me. And now, she deliberately did that to make you misunderstand and cause conflict between us," Wan Yunting said with a helpless expression.
Fang Yanxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then why did you still bring her home?"
Wan Yunting spread his hands and sighed, "What could I do? She has no relatives in Hua Du City, and Old Man Chang is unwilling to take her back, so she had to be sent here. But Yanxi, don't worry, she'll be going back soon."
"Alright, it's not like I can't see that girl's intentions. I know there's nothing going on between you and her."
Seeing the man's flustered appearance, Fang Yanxi couldn't help but smile, nodding. "Since she's your junior sister, you can let her stay if you want. Besides, I'm not living here permanently. I'll be going back home tomorrow."
As soon as he heard the woman was going back home, Wan Yunting hugged her. "Don't go, Yanxi, why are you going back? It's so good to stay here..."
Feeling the man's mischievous hands touching her, Fang Yanxi patted him and gave him a seductive glare, pouting coquettishly, "Living here means you bully me every day?"
"Don't you want to?"
Wan Yunting became even bolder, directly picking Fang Yanxi up in a princess carry and heading towards the bedroom. The woman playfully chided him, "Wan Yunting, you're getting worse..."
"Do you like me being bad, or do you like me not being bad?"
"Get out of here, I don't like either..."
"Haha, you say you don't like it, but where are you touching?"
The young couple continued to squabble in the bedroom. Meanwhile, Duan Yingying, on the basement floor, found an empty bedroom. After looking around, she tidied up the clothes she had prepared. Then, she went into the bathroom and saw no toothbrush or towel. Duan Yingying's big eyes lit up, revealing a mischievous smile. She went out and ran directly to the second floor. She glanced around the living room, saw the bedroom door was closed, and guessed that Wan Yunting must be sleeping in this bedroom. So, she went up and knocked on the door...
Inside, Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi were enjoying themselves in the shower room when the loud knocking interrupted them. He knew only Duan Yingying would dare to disturb him at this time, which made Wan Yunting annoyed. He shouted outside, "Who is it?"
"It's me, my room doesn't have a towel or toothbrush, bring them to me," Duan Yingying shouted from the doorway. Seeing that the door wouldn't open, she could only yell.
Hearing her words, Wan Yunting was filled with helplessness. Fang Yanxi in his arms waved dismissively. Wan Yunting had no choice but to shout, "Wait..."
A moment later, the door opened. Duan Yingying's eyes widened, and she immediately cried out, "Ah, why aren't you wearing clothes?"
"What are you screaming about? Aren't I wearing pants?"
Startled by the girl's shriek, Wan Yunting said irritably, "Don't shout so loud, don't you see what time it is? Other people need to rest."
Duan Yingying's pretty face blushed. Looking at the man's well-defined muscles and physique, she let out a soft hum, "So stinky..."
"Stop with the nonsense, let's go..."
Wan Yunting glared at her, too lazy to argue with her. He took her downstairs to the basement and to a storage room to get a new towel, toothbrush, and bath towel, handing her everything at once. "Anything else you need?"
"No, I don't."
Duan Yingying's small face was flushed red, her big eyes darting away, afraid to look at Wan Yunting's upper body too much, lest her heart flutter and she overthink things.
"Don't you dare knock on my door again. If you need anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow, understand?"
Wan Yunting pointed at her and warned her, then turned and went upstairs to continue with Fang Yanxi...
"Hmph..."
Duan Yingying scoffed and rolled her eyes. But the image of Wan Yunting's upper body from earlier lingered in her mind, making her pretty face blush. She quickly ran back to take a shower, then changed into a beautiful nightgown. Looking at her own good figure, she thought about the man's girlfriend, who wasn't much different from her...
Suddenly, a mischievous smile flashed across Duan Yingying's face. She opened her room door and ran to the second floor again...
Wan Yunting turned his head and glared at the door, and Fang Yanxi, in his arms, lost interest and pouted unhappily.
Wan Yunting had to comfort her, then turned and shouted, "Duan Yingying, didn't I tell you not to come up again?"
"It's so cold, is your air conditioner broken? It's so cold, how can I sleep?"
Duan Yingying, enduring her mischievous smile, shouted from the doorway.
A moment later, the door opened. Wan Yunting stood there with a dark expression, his gaze practically spitting fire. Naturally, he snorted irritably, closed the door, and walked downstairs by himself...
Duan Yingying's big eyes glanced into the room, knowing what they were doing. She secretly chuckled and followed Wan Yunting with her hands behind her back, saying, "Who told you your room's air conditioner was so cold? I had to come up and find you."
Wan Yunting still didn't speak. He went down to her room in the basement, took out the air conditioner remote, turned on the heating, and adjusted it to a comfortable temperature. He turned back, handed it to her, and said sternly, "Here's the remote. Adjust it to whatever temperature you like. Don't come up looking for me again, understand?"
"Okay."
Receiving the remote, Duan Yingying suppressed a smile on her face. Wan Yunting, seeing through her deliberate actions, glanced down and noticed that the girl was wearing a pink nightgown with a very low neckline.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
"Uh..."
Wan Yunting, realizing he had been caught, looked flustered. He quickly turned and walked out, hastily leaving a sentence, "Don't come upstairs again..." before running back upstairs...
Duan Yingying covered her chest with both hands, quickly went up and closed the door. The memory of the man's startling actions flashed in her mind, and her face became hot and flushed. Ashamed, Duan Yingying stomped her feet and hurried back to bed...
"Are you done?"
Fang Yanxi saw the man return, her face cold and unhappy. After all, being interrupted twice by Duan Yingying had completely killed her mood...
Wan Yunting locked the door and returned with an awkward smile. "It's okay, she won't come up again. Let's continue..."
However, less than half an hour later, the two, who were continuing their intimacy, were interrupted again by Duan Yingying knocking on the door. Wan Yunting was enraged, and Fang Yanxi was thoroughly upset. She stopped continuing with the man and went to the adjacent room to sleep...
After dealing with the situation, Wan Yunting returned. Seeing the woman angry, he felt helpless and thought that tomorrow he would definitely teach that brat Duan Yingying a lesson.
The next morning, Wan Yunting woke up early and found that Zhong Hongmei had also woken up early. They went to the back mountain to meditate and practice together. It wasn't until eight in the morning that they descended the mountain together. Fang Yanxi was already eating in the dining room, her face dark. Seeing Zhong Hongmei return, she said, "Hongmei, pack your things. We're going home tonight."
"Okay," Zhong Hongmei nodded and went downstairs.
Wan Yunting came over and sat down, trying to persuade her, "Yanxi, don't be angry. Duan Yingying was doing it on purpose last night..."
"I know she was doing it on purpose."
Fang Yanxi turned to look at him and said softly, "When she leaves, I'll come back to stay."
"This..."
Wan Yunting wanted to say more, but Fang Yanxi finished breakfast, got up, and went upstairs to pack her things...
Seeing that the woman was really going home, Wan Yunting was both angry and helpless. He immediately got up, went down to the basement to Duan Yingying's room, and kicked the door open. He saw Duan Yingying sleeping in a provocative pose, her body exposed without her realizing it. But Wan Yunting, filled with rage, shouted, "Duan Yingying, get up!"
"Ah..."
Startled by the sudden shout, Duan Yingying sat up abruptly, her eyes wide with shock. Seeing Wan Yunting standing at the door, she immediately got angry and cursed, "Wan Yunting, what are you doing? You scared me to death..."
"What time is it, and you're still sleeping? Get up and practice, quickly."
Wan Yunting's face was dark. Thinking about the girl's deliberate actions last night, and now the woman had left home, all because of this brat.
"Are you crazy?"
Duan Yingying cursed fiercely, then lay back down, pulling the quilt over her head and ignoring Wan Yunting, intending to continue sleeping...
But Wan Yunting wouldn't indulge her. If he didn't teach this brat a harsh lesson today, she would become even more lawless. Wan Yunting went in, grabbed the quilt, and shouted, "What did your mother say? She sent you here to me, not to sleep all day. Get up and practice."
"Ah, Wan Yunting, are you sick? I don't want to practice, get out..."
Duan Yingying, her quilt pulled off, sat up. She was extremely sleepy and couldn't help but scream.
"Why weren't you sleepy when you were bothering me last night? Now you want to sleep? Dream on, get up now..."
Saying that, Wan Yunting went up, grabbed her arm, and pulled Duan Yingying off the bed, causing her to cry out, "What are you doing? Let go of me..."
Pulling her out of the room, Wan Yunting went to the dressing table, picked up a long sword, and glared fiercely at Duan Yingying. "Duan Yingying, if you don't want your butt spanked, then get up honestly, go wash up, change your clothes, and go upstairs. Otherwise, I'll give you a thorough beating!"
"You..."
Duan Yingying's big eyes widened, and she trembled with anger. Thinking of the last time he beat her with a wooden stick, she still felt lingering fear...
"Why aren't you going yet?" Wan Yunting raised the long sword and sternly reprimanded her.
This time, Duan Yingying was scared. She shivered all over, gave Wan Yunting a fierce glare with her big eyes, and then turned to go back into the room...
