Chapter 4

A man's arm held me tightly in his embrace, his body heat radiating onto mine.

I tried to kick him off, but I was instantly pinned down.

When I realized what was happening, my pupils constricted.

"Your legs…"

Julian, however, showed no panic. He leaned close to my ear and slowly whispered, "Oh dear, you've discovered my little secret~"

"…"

"What should we do? Maybe I should just dispose of the evidence?"

Julian said this, sucking on my earlobe. The arm clamping me was so strong it felt like he could twist me in half.

I instinctively swallowed, the scene from the paid section of the basement flashing in my mind.

"How about… you 'sleep with me' again?"

But after I proposed this, the air went silent.

Only the System's voice: 【Ancestor! Please don't add random plot lines!】

I ignored the System's furious roar, waiting for Julian's reply.

But after a stretch of silence, I felt the vibration from Julian's chest, and his low chuckle.

"Didn't realize before, but future Auntie is really quite cute~"

I chuckled awkwardly, speechless for a moment, because…

Damn it, this was getting even *more* thrilling!

Suddenly, that stupid life countdown didn't seem like such a big deal anymore.

Under the covers, Julian's fingers traced suggestive patterns on my sensitive waist.

"How about you break off that engagement with my uncle? Give me a try instead?"

What can I say? Damn it, his suggestion was actually pretty tempting.

Too bad he wasn't the male lead.

So, the words I instinctively wanted to agree to changed into: "No."

As soon as I spoke, I saw Julian's eyes change.

I expected his expression to sour, but the smile on his face deepened instead.

It felt… not normal.

"Oh, so *that's* what you're into?" Julian said, biting my lip until it bled before letting go. Then he continued, "What a coincidence, me too."

"Heh."

"And a little secret, my uncle's room is right next door."

"!!!"

"So? Do you dare to play a *bigger* game?"

System: 【Warning! Stop altering the plot! Please respect the original story!】

But I continued to ignore the System and replied, "Okay."

……

In the room next door, Liam hadn't been asleep. He was still dealing with Thompson Group work.

But as he worked, thumping sounds started coming from next door, like someone hitting a wall.

At first, Liam didn't pay much attention, thinking Julian was just deliberately causing trouble.

But then, he realized something was off.

He wondered if his ears were too good, or if he was hallucinating, because he heard *those* kinds of sounds!

Liam finally closed his laptop, then stood up and removed his gold-rimmed glasses.

When he reached Julian's room door, the sounds from inside became significantly clearer.

He knocked on the door. "Julian?"

Julian's movements inside the room paused, immediately sending shivers down my spine.

I thought, *Damn this yandere, he's totally my type!*

Liam, getting no response from inside, assumed the occupants had settled down.

So he decided to head back to his own room.

But he hadn't walked two steps before he heard the sounds again.

Liam frowned, then turned back and knocked again.

This time, the commotion got even louder…

Liam's face instantly darkened. If he couldn't tell what was happening inside, he'd have lived thirty years for nothing.

Besides, he'd felt Julian was off yesterday.

Then, Liam heard a line from inside the room:

"Auntie... why aren't you calling out...?"

*Whoosh.* Liam's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Julian, open the door!"

The commotion in the room gradually subsided, then the sound of wheelchair wheels rubbing on the floor came from afar, drawing closer.
