Chapter 322

And her instincts.

She had already grown dependent on Xu Hao.

Xu Hao reached out, lifted her chin, and spoke in a playful tone.

"What, don't you like it?"

Yao Xinrui's gaze darted away.

She felt like a pet, completely at Xu Hao's mercy.

However, she had already gotten used to it.

"But… how am I supposed to go to work like this? I feel so sleepy right now, I won't be able to wake up until the afternoon."

"What if Chu Xiong notices? I don't want to stay here and rest; I feel disgusted just looking at them…"

Xu Hao stroked her fine hair and raised an eyebrow.

"So what if he finds out? Wouldn't that be even more interesting?"

Yao Xinrui was startled.

One reason she had stopped resisting Xu Hao was that she feared he would come up with even more wild tricks.

Now it seemed her fears were justified.

He actually intended to let Chu Xiong find out about their relationship.

Thinking about what would happen if Chu Xiong found out she was with Xu Hao behind his back…

Wouldn't he be half-dead with rage?

When that time came, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Xu Hao.

He would definitely retaliate frantically against her instead.

Yao Xinrui didn't dare imagine how miserable her end would be if a multi-billionaire sought revenge on her.

The look of submission in her eyes deepened as she looked at Xu Hao.

She said pleadingly,

"Hubby, stop teasing me. Aren't you going to cooperate with the Chu family? I can fight for more benefits for you…"

Yao Xinrui was overthinking things.

Xu Hao was merely talking off the top of his head.

Although he didn't care about Chu Xiong,

he had no intention of intentionally provoking an enemy of the same tier just for excitement.

He wasn't stupid to that extent.

If Chu Xiong really had to know, it would be when it was time to send him on his way…

Xu Hao was still thinking about finding evidence

to send the Chu family father and son to prison,

allowing his sister-in-law to naturally inherit the Chu family's assets.

After all, wasn't what belonged to his sister-in-law essentially his?

Seeing how particularly obedient she was today, Xu Hao decided to give her a reward.

With a flick of his wrist,

a Marrow Cleansing Pill appeared in his hand.

"Eat this, it will solve your trouble…"

Taking the pill,

a rich medicinal aroma washed over her face.

Yao Xinrui was somewhat puzzled.

Her current trouble was a sore waist, aching back, and feeling extremely sleepy—she just wanted to sleep heavily.

Could this pill really solve that?

Though doubtful in her heart, she still decided to take it.

Since she had already indicated she wouldn't resist anymore, Xu Hao shouldn't harm her…

Yao Xinrui went into the bathroom and opened her mouth to swallow the pill.

It dissolved as soon as it hit her tongue,

turning into streams of warm current that flowed into every part of her body.

She felt as if she were bathing in gentle sunlight, her entire body warm and comfortable.

Gradually…

she noticed something was wrong.

A fine layer of grime oozed out all over her body.

Frightened, she quickly turned on the shower to wash it off.

Finally, she understood why Xu Hao had told her to go to the bathroom.

After washing up, Yao Xinrui was shocked to discover

that her waist no longer ached and her legs were no longer numb.

Moreover, despite not sleeping all night, she felt no fatigue whatsoever and was brimming with energy.

Yao Xinrui also noticed an incredible thing.

Her skin had gotten noticeably better,

and her charm had reached a whole new level…

Inevitably, she thought of her good friend Su Wanqiu.

Having not seen her for a few days, she had become so much prettier.

She recalled how back then, Su Wanqiu had tried to recruit her as a comrade-in-arms,

claiming it was because she was with Xu Hao.

Clearly, it was just because she had also taken this kind of pill given by Xu Hao.

She hadn't expected the effect to be so amazing.

Yao Xinrui's favorable impression of him gradually grew.

It seemed… Xu Hao wasn't always that bad.

It was just as Su Wanqiu had said—

Xu Hao treated his women very well.

For instance, today, as soon as she showed signs of submission, he gave her such a miraculous pill.

Yao Xinrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If she had known earlier… she should have compromised with Xu Hao much sooner.

Then she wouldn't have had to stay constantly anxious and fearful.

Returning to the bedroom, Yao Xinrui expressed her gratitude to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao accepted it while patting her head.

Glancing at the sky outside, the morning sun was rising higher and higher.

Estimating the alcohol tolerance of the Chu family father and son, they were probably about to wake up…

Xu Hao washed up and prepared to head home.

After coming out from checking his sister-in-law's bedroom,

Li Xiao, who hadn't slept all night, opened his bloodshot eyes.

Seeing Xu Hao, he didn't pay him any attention.

After a whole night, he was already numb.

Xu Hao had no intention of paying attention to him either.

He hadn't managed to harvest much Emotion Points from this protagonist over the course of the night.

His value as a tool was pretty much exhausted.

Once he lost his value, he should be disposed of…

Shortly after Xu Hao left, Yao Xinrui also freshened up and came out of the bedroom.

The pill's effect was truly wonderful.

Right now, she felt full of energy, her exhaustion completely swept away.

She didn't want to stay in this house, so she prepared to head to the company for work.
