Chapter 218 - 216: Passionate as Fire

He yanked off his tie and bound Night Rose’s hands, which were still groping around wildly.

"You crazy woman! You seriously need to be taught a lesson!" Ye Xuan panted slightly, glaring viciously at Night Rose.

Night Rose looked at the man pinning her down and smiled. She raised her bound hands above her head, striking a highly seductive pose. "So you like to play it rough, huh? Alright, bring it on."

Due to her earlier struggle, Night Rose’s clothes were a bit disheveled, faintly revealing the alluring curves of her cleavage. Coupled with her deliberate posing, the sight was enough to give any man a nosebleed.

Ye Xuan froze instantly. His mouth hung wide open in astonishment as he stared blankly at her. "You... you!" He stared at Night Rose for a long time, completely speechless.

Seeing his flustered and exasperated expression only excited Night Rose further. However, Ye Xuan knew very well that he couldn’t cross the line with her. He refused to let a repeat of the Yang Bingyu situation happen.

Glancing around, he spotted a rope resting on the nearby coffee table and snatched it up. He grabbed Night Rose’s ankles and, in a few swift motions, tied her legs together as well. At this, Night Rose’s expression darkened completely.

Looking at Ye Xuan in utter disbelief, she asked in embarrassed anger, "Ye Xuan, are you even a fucking man?! I’m practically throwing myself at you, and you can still hold back?"

Ye Xuan stood up from the sofa, looking down at her as he straightened his clothes. He shot her an irritated glare. "Whether I’m a man or not is for my wife to know. There’s no need for you to find out. And stop trying to pull these stunts. I only see you as a friend. Stay here and cool off. I’m going to take a shower."

With that, Ye Xuan turned and retreated into the bedroom, leaving Night Rose lying on the sofa like a bound silkworm chrysalis.

"Ye Xuan! You’re a fucking coward!" Night Rose yelled furiously at his retreating back.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan paused for a split second before quickening his pace. He thought, "What a crazy woman. Who practically begs to sleep with another man?" The lust Night Rose had stirred up inside him was incredibly uncomfortable, forcing him to take a cold shower to suppress his urges.

About five or six minutes later, Ye Xuan’s restless body finally began to calm down. Just as he was about to get dressed, the bathroom door was violently pushed open. Seeing Night Rose standing in the doorway, Ye Xuan immediately swore.

"Fuck! Are you out of your fucking mind?" He snatched a bath towel, frantically trying to cover his modesty.

Staring at Ye Xuan’s muscular physique, a blush crept across Night Rose’s cheeks. She had been so infuriated by him earlier that she had forcefully struggled out of the tie binding her wrists. In a moment of hot-headed impulse, she hadn’t thought things through and had just charged right in. Now faced with this situation, Night Rose was momentarily at a loss for what to do next.

"Fuck, get the hell out! What on earth goes through your head?!" Ye Xuan shouted, seeing her still standing dumbly at the door. He was genuinely going to be driven insane by this woman. Bursting in while a man was showering—was this something a normal woman would do? She was clearly a female bandit!

"No! I won’t go!" Reprimanded like this, Night Rose’s stubborn temper flared up again. Instead of backing out, she took two steps forward into the bathroom.

Startled, Ye Xuan hurriedly backed away, desperately trying to maintain a safe distance between them. But the bathroom was only so big; where could he hide? Soon enough, Night Rose had him backed into a corner. He looked exactly like an innocent young man about to be ravaged.

"Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect you to have such a nice body." Since things had already escalated to this point, Night Rose gritted her teeth and decided to go all in. Her eyes unabashedly swept over Ye Xuan’s body, leaving him both angry and mortified.

"Are you even a fucking woman?!" Pushed to his absolute limit, Ye Xuan roared.

"Why don’t you try me and find out?" With that, Night Rose lunged, tackling Ye Xuan into the bathtub.

Ye Xuan’s head struck the porcelain, and he couldn’t help but cry out in pain. At that very moment, Night Rose leaned in and kissed him directly on the lips. Her faint body fragrance wafted into Ye Xuan’s nose, instantly making his mouth go dry. However, his rationality hammered at him, reminding him that this was a mistake he absolutely could not make.

In a moment of desperation, Ye Xuan hardened his heart, raised a hand, and delivered a swift chop to the back of Night Rose’s head. The passionate and proactive Night Rose instantly froze, then collapsed into Ye Xuan’s arms with a soft THUD.

Ye Xuan struggled to climb out of the bathtub, casting a highly exasperated glance at the unconscious Night Rose. He then hurriedly put his clothes on. He thought, "This woman is truly insane."

After getting dressed, just to be safe, he found a rope as thick as a finger and securely tied Night Rose up. Feeling that wasn’t enough, he simply rolled her up tight in a blanket. The only thing left exposed was her head. Only after finishing all this did Ye Xuan finally heave a sigh of relief.

He then slung the still-unconscious Night Rose over his shoulder and went to knock on Vermilion Bird’s door.

At that moment, Vermilion Bird had just finished showering and was about to apply a face mask before bed. When she opened the door and saw the scene before her, she laughed so hard her mask fell right off.

"Hahaha! Ye Xuan, what the hell is this?" Staring at Night Rose slung over his shoulder, Vermilion Bird burst into fits of laughter.

Ye Xuan shot a fierce glare at Vermilion Bird, who was laughing so hard she could barely stand straight. Pursing his lips tightly, he walked into the living room without a word. He unceremoniously dumped the woman off his shoulder onto the sofa and said grumpily, "Keep a close eye on this woman for me. Don’t let her run around blindly if there’s no need."

Vermilion Bird fought back her laughter as she looked at Ye Xuan, whose face was as dark as a thundercloud. She nodded vigorously. "I say, boss, do you want me to lend you a hairdryer so you can dry your hair a bit?" she asked softly, eyeing his dripping wet hair.

"Shut up! I’m leaving!" Ye Xuan glared at her furiously, then quickly stormed out with a dark expression.

He had barely stepped out of the villa’s front door when Vermilion Bird’s roaring laughter echoed from behind him. It made him feel so incredibly awkward that he wished the ground would just swallow him whole.

He decided it was best to avoid seeing that crazy woman, Night Rose, as much as possible in the future. Recalling what had just transpired, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but quicken his pace once again.

Back inside, Vermilion Bird looked at Night Rose, who was wrapped up like a mummy on the sofa, and shook her head helplessly. She thought, "Sigh, what a silly woman."
