Chapter 2

Dugu Mohan sat on the sofa with a cold face, loosening his tie.

Ruan Chacha glanced at his profile, recalling what he had done to the original owner, and a chill ran down her limbs.

After putting down the cane, she sat upright on the other side of the sofa. Now there was no need to pretend. She was genuinely afraid that his sinister methods might be used on her, but then she thought.

The reason the original owner could marry the male lead was because the original owner’s grandfather had a lifelong friendship with the male lead’s grandfather. As long as she showed extreme fear of the male lead, Ruan Chacha stared closely at her feet, bound with bandages…

She was overjoyed in her heart. Yes! As long as she portrayed the male lead as someone she deeply detested, someone who even wished to kill her and abuse her in front of the male lead’s grandfather.

She not only had to portray this in front of the male lead’s grandfather but also in front of everyone, including the servants. She had to show that the male lead had done evil things to her!

With just this, even if the male lead was furious, he wouldn’t dare lay a hand on her. Because if she disappeared, everyone’s gaze would turn to Dugu Mohan.

She believed that the male lead would absolutely not take the risk of getting rid of her. Ruan Chacha’s lowered little head revealed a mischievous smile, daring him to be so ruthless. Come on! Let’s act!

Ruan Chacha, like a child who had done something wrong, sat on the sofa, cautiously glancing at Dugu Mohan. Each glance, with the fear in her eyes and the trembling of her body, puzzled the butler and the servants nearby.

Usually, when the madam sees the sir, she almost always approaches him despite his cold face and scolding, caring for him attentively and always trying to please him with a sweet smile.

Everyone knows that the sir does not like the madam very much, and indeed, the madam is not likable. She has a temper, is often irritable, and is very unfriendly to the servants and the butler, frequently scolding them.

So the servants do not like the madam, and some even hope that the sir could divorce this kind of crazy woman as soon as possible. The butler, who has been taking care of Dugu Mohan since he was young, often sighs in private, thinking that such a woman is not suitable for him. No wonder the sir dislikes her so much.

But today, the madam seems to be somewhat afraid of the sir, or is she up to some tricks again?

Ruan Chacha pretended to feel parched, her mouth dry. She was extremely thirsty. Should she… have some water? She looked at the two cups on the table, not sure which one was hers.

Both cups were dark blue and looked expensive, but neither had any feminine symbols. There should be one with a slightly lighter color for her.

Ruan Chacha glanced again at Dugu Mohan, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, seemingly resting. Without revealing any emotions, she picked up the cane and reached for the cup with a slightly lighter color on the table.

After successfully grabbing the cup, she found it filled with water. Ruan Chacha completely forgot that, in her current position, servants could pour water for her.

The butler and the servants exchanged glances. Why would the madam choose to drink from the sir’s water cup? The sir is known to be germophobic…

Little did Ruan Chacha know that both cups belonged to Dugu Mohan. Tipping her head back, she drank all the water without realizing that Dugu Mohan had opened his eyes at some point.

Suddenly meeting his icy and piercing gaze, Ruan Chacha was startled. Nervously, she choked on the water and sprayed it in the direction of Dugu Mohan.

The butler and the servants: “!!!” They were shocked. Did the madam really use such a method to get the sir’s attention?

Dugu Mohan, with water droplets on his face, stared motionlessly at Ruan Chacha, as if looking at a dead person.

Ruan Chacha’s heart nearly skipped a beat from the fright. She quickly jumped to Dugu Mohan’s side, grabbed a cloth, and started wiping his face while weakly explaining…

“I-I’m sorry. I was scared by your… your gaze. I got scared for a moment, and… I didn’t mean to…” Ruan Chacha, “trembling with fear,” wiped Dugu Mohan’s face with the cloth.

Ruan Chacha was acting to her heart’s content, not noticing that Dugu Mohan’s face was getting darker and his gaze was becoming more dangerous.

The butler was dumbfounded. Madam! That’s a cloth! The butler was frantic. The sir’s germophobia was almost beyond reach.

Dugu Mohan, smelling the disinfectant on the cloth, roared…

“Get lost!” He pushed away Ruan Chacha’s hand. As a result, Ruan Chacha, with a limp leg, was sent flying as if she were weightless.

Falling to the ground, Ruan Chacha screamed in pain a couple of times. She couldn’t get up, lying there! She acted a bit too forcefully, pulling on her injured leg. The pain turned her face pale, and cold sweat instantly covered her forehead.

Dugu Mohan: “??”

The butler and the servants were shocked by this scene. They quickly went to help Ruan Chacha and called a doctor.

The butler thought the sir had gone too far this time. Even if the madam is not good, she is still a woman. How could he resort to violence?

“Sir, the madam’s leg is still injured…” The butler couldn’t help but speak, and the accusation in his words was evident.

The servants, supporting Ruan Chacha, looked at the madam’s painful appearance and sympathized.

A thought flashed through Ruan Chacha’s mind, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. With innocent and pitiful eyes, she looked at Dugu Mohan with fear.

“N-no, it’s not Dugu Mohan’s fault. It’s me… I accidentally fell on myself. Don’t blame Dugu Mohan…” Ruan Chacha, “afraid,” shivered, unable to speak clearly, trembling all over.

Ruan Chacha had fallen on her own, and in fact, Dugu Mohan hadn’t used much force. She just wanted to disgust him to death, making him suffer through the storm of green tea! Hahaha…

The butler shook his head with a sigh. The madam really loves the sir too much, but it’s a pity the sir… sigh!

The servants were moved by Ruan Chacha’s deep affection. The madam loves the sir too much.

Dugu Mohan’s stern face froze. He hadn’t used much force…

Facing Dugu Mohan’s chilling gaze, Ruan Chacha admitted that she was a bit scared, but come on, she had come this far. If he dared to stare at her with such eyes, she might as well give him another dose of her “green tea storm,” right?

With her body curled up and shaking even more violently, “I-I’m sorry; forgive me, brother Mohan…” Ruan Chacha’s green tea skills erupted once again. She had already pushed it to this extent; wouldn’t he get angry? As soon as he got angry, things would become even more interesting. Ruan Chacha couldn’t be more excited.

The butler and the servants felt that the madam truly loved the sir too much, pitifully so, all looking towards Dugu Mohan.

“Sir, the madam is already injured,” the butler’s elderly voice reminded him again. Don’t keep hurting the madam; there should be a limit.

Dugu Mohan was stared at with this blaming gaze for the first time, and his anger flared up. He was about to get up and leave when he unintentionally saw Ruan Chacha, who used to be very afraid of him, revealing a triumphant smile.

Instantly realizing that he had been played, he became furious. “Get out! Get out, all of you!” Dugu Mohan’s eyes seemed to want to devour Ruan Chacha.

Ruan Chacha immediately buried her head in the arms of one of the servants, crying softly. In reality, she was laughing to herself. When the green tea is too enjoyable, ah, hahaha…

The person who used to dislike Ruan Chacha softened, feeling sympathetic. The madam was just spoiled by her family; fundamentally, she was kind-hearted.

The butler shook his head in disappointment. When did Sir become like this? He ordered the servants to help Ruan Chacha upstairs, and Ruan Chacha looked at Dugu Mohan with “reluctance” several times.

Dugu Mohan’s face turned from blue to black, from black to purple. He felt stifled, and his eyes, crimson, were fixed tightly on Ruan Chacha’s figure going upstairs.

After a while, the doctor arrived, and the butler quickly brought the doctor in.

“Doctor, the madam twisted her foot just now, and it’s swelling again.” The servant who supported Ruan Chacha explained the situation to the doctor.

The male doctor with golden-rimmed glasses walked into the room. He initially thought that Ru Chacha was pretending, but Han Annan saw a different appearance than the usual sharp and spicy one. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s, clearly showing that she had just cried a lot.

Silently, he unwrapped the bandage on her foot. His pupils contracted. “Why is it so severe now?” It had started to reduce swelling just two days ago.

Faced with Han Annan’s question, the servants dared not speak, and the butler sighed without saying a word.

Han Annan sensed the expressions of the butler and the servants. What exactly happened?

Ruan Chacha, with pale lips trembling as she smiled, replied, “I accidentally fell while walking.” It was all for the sake of that dog-like male lead in the green tea story. She had acted too vigorously and suffered too much, and it truly hurt.

Han Annan was surprised that Ruan Chacha would say such words. “Do you remember how you fell down the stairs that day?” No one knew how she fell down the stairs.

Ruan Chacha felt ecstatic in her heart. This big brother, are you perhaps a helper sent by the system? Just thinking about something and it happens, hehe, bring it on, dog-like male lead!

In an instant, Ruan Chacha’s face turned even paler. She frantically shook her head, holding her arms, and the fear and dread in her eyes were terrifying.

“I fell by myself… It has nothing to do with brother Mohan. I shouldn’t care about the women around brother Mohan. I fell by myself… I fell by myself.” Ruan Chacha repeated over and over that she fell down the stairs by herself. Tearfully, she hugged her arms tightly, cold sweat continuously dripping from her forehead.

Ruan Chacha looked so pitiful, admiring her own acting skills. She thought she deserved an Oscar, and she almost ruined her own triumphant moment.

Coincidentally, Dugu Mohan, who happened to pass by, stopped in his tracks, “??” with a head full of question marks.
