Standing at the center, the mirrors reflected many versions of herself, giving her a sense of being in a dreamlike labyrinth.

She took off her jacket and jeans one by one. Raising her hand, she loosened the ponytail tie, and her slightly curly long hair cascaded down like flowing water!

Picking up the dress, she shook it with both hands, and it unfolded before her like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.

She held the dress against herself in front of a mirror, perhaps too focused, not hearing the sound of the cloakroom door opening.

It wasn’t until footsteps sounded from behind that she heard them, thinking it was Beth who had come in: "Beth, you—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was startled by the person in the mirror.

Si Yuheng had walked in and was standing right behind her.

She came to her senses, holding the dress to her chest and turned around: "Why did you come in—"

"To see if my heiress is getting accustomed." His gaze was unrestrained, like ants seeing honey.

Watching Xiaoxiao was one thing, but why come into the cloakroom! Clearly intentional.

She cautiously pulled the dress up a few centimeters: "It’s okay if it’s just watching Xiaoxiao, but why come in without knocking!"

His lips curved slightly, seeming to find the question redundant: "This is my house, do I need to knock."

She gritted her teeth: "Fine, then please leave... I haven’t changed yet."

"Continue. I won’t get in your way."

"What do you mean..." She stared dumbfounded.

Sure enough, he slipped one hand into his pocket, slowly walking over, deliberately enunciating: "I’m the master of this house, no one needs to avoid doing anything in front of me."

Excuse-Me?

Are you out of your mind?

Liang Anya internally felt her urge to roast him about to explode!

"Si Yuheng, haven’t you noticed you’re becoming more audacious... Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because I’m on your turf now."

His eyelid twitched, his words defeated her outburst: "If you don’t want me to be more arrogant, do as I say."

"Si Yuheng, don’t forget what you promised my daddy! You said you wouldn’t bully me, and if I’m unhappy, I can go back to China anytime! I... I want to return to China! Even if it’s dangerous, even if I might get kidnapped again, I still want to return..." Clutching the dress, she feigned anger and stormed toward the door.

Of course, she wasn’t truly leaving, but she had to give this man a scare! Otherwise, he’d get more audacious!

As expected, her slender arm was caught by him as they brushed past each other.

The dress slipped down with a swish, and Liang Anya was instantly disheveled in the wind, her face nearly bleeding: "Si Yuheng—"

She forcibly pulled out her hand, picked up the dress, and covered herself again.

"Want to go back to China? Fine, you can take Xiaoxiao with you right now... But are you sure you can walk out on just your own two legs?"

She thought of the forest estate surrounding the castle, cold sweat beaded on her skin.

Without a car to send her and Xiaoxiao away, she’d probably wander and die in the forest!

He lowered his head slightly, showing some impatience: "Have you decided?"

She stepped back two steps, finally obediently starting to change clothes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

If she dared not speak.

After all, this was his domain, he was the one calling the shots.

Throughout the process, Si Yuheng leaned slightly, hands in his trousers pockets, resting against a long mirror, watching.

Compared to those Western women, despite having given birth, she still resembled a teenage girl.

Too slender, too fresh.

This unique Asian girl’s fragility had its own distinct beauty.

Of course, her alertness was also clear to him.

Her fists clenched tightly, always on guard, afraid he’d pounce on her.

The more she was like this, the more he couldn’t resist watching and commenting: "Hmm, the waist is still slim."

"Si Yuheng! That’s enough! If you’re going to watch, can’t you just stop talking?"

"No."

"Starting tomorrow, your meals will include pig’s trotters soup and crucian carp tofu soup and the like."

"Filthy! I’m not bulking up my bust!" This man indeed had wicked intentions! She certainly understood what pig’s trotters soup and crucian carp tofu soup were for!

"You’re overthinking it, pig’s trotters soup and crucian carp tofu soup won’t save you. Your cup size is beyond help, you need surgery." He was truly tired of hitting her with reality.

"...Then why have me drink pig’s trotters soup and crucian carp tofu soup!"

"What are you thinking? I want my little heir to be well-nourished every day." He couldn’t even be sure if Xiaoxiao was his, although she was a novice little mommy, she ought to have some maternal common sense.

Pig’s trotters soup and crucian carp tofu soup could stimulate lactation.

Yet this woman was clearly clueless, didn’t know anything at all!

In A City, he had seen it clearly, this woman didn’t know what to do even when Xiaoxiao urinated in tears!

Not surprisingly, since she was the only daughter of the Liang Family, she was spoiled by Liang Tao and his son, and even Xiaoxiao’s basic needs were handled by Liang Tao, the grandfather; she was probably just a hands-off boss.

He had a bit of a headache, feeling like she was almost as young as Xiaoxiao!

Liang Anya felt absolutely no shame at his naked disdain.

She never intended to become a mother so early; it was all this man’s fault!

Why should she be ashamed? He was the one who should be!

Thinking this, she bit her lip and quickly slipped the dress on.

Just then, outside the cloakroom, Beth’s voice came through:

"Hall Master, it’s getting late, the banquet is about to start, the principals invite the Hall Master to the dining room first."

Si Yuheng finally glanced at her, approving: "Just like that from now on, isn’t it better to listen and be obedient."

Liang Anya suppressed the urge to curse.

His finger lifted, tipping her chin up, drawing her near: "At tonight’s banquet, just like now, no matter what happens, stay by my side obediently."

She was momentarily stunned, not understanding what he meant, nor having time to think further; as she saw him heading for the door, she suppressed the remaining shame and suddenly called out:

"Si Yuheng!"

His long legs halted, and he slowly turned his neck, half his face mesmerizingly alluring, good-looking to an insufferable degree.

"...Is this one of your perverted interests? Do you enjoy watching others change clothes like this?" She clenched the corners of her skirt tightly.
