Chapter 2070: Chapter 2068: Proving Courage
"Is everything with the villa settled?" Ji Ruyue walked toward the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red and two glasses, and asked as she moved.
"Yeah." Wang Dadong nodded.
Ji Ruyue walked over, poured the wine, and clinked glasses with Wang Dadong.
"How does it feel?" Ji Ruyue asked.
"Good stuff." Wang Dadong praised. It wasn’t Lafite, but it was still an expensive bottle worth quite a bit.
"I’m not talking about the wine." Ji Ruyue shook her head.
"Then what are you talking about?" Wang Dadong was puzzled.
"Obviously, about becoming the owner of the villa."
"It’s okay, it’s okay." Wang Dadong replied.
"Pour me wine." Ji Ruyue crossed one long leg over the other, her fair hand propping up her head, and said to Wang Dadong.
There was a slightly commanding tone in Ji Ruyue’s voice, which made Wang Dadong feel a bit pissed, but he still picked up the bottle and poured her a glass.
Ji Ruyue, satisfied, raised the glass and took a sip, but she didn’t swallow. Instead, she stood up, walked to Wang Dadong’s side, and pressed her lips to his.
The scent on Ji Ruyue’s body, mixed with the mellow taste of red wine, slid straight over Wang Dadong’s taste buds, giving him a never‑before‑felt jolt.
This Ji Ruyue really knows how to play.
Wang Dadong took the chance to wrap his arms around Ji Ruyue...
...
After a bout of passion, Ji Ruyue didn’t get off Wang Dadong. Instead, she looked down at him from above and said, "From today on, I don’t allow you to touch any other woman."
"And if I do?" Wang Dadong didn’t like this overbearing side of Ji Ruyue.
Because he had always been the one in control.
"I can have you step into heaven in one move, and I can make you fall into Hell in an instant." Ji Ruyue narrowed her beautiful eyes and said each word slowly.
Wang Dadong understood she was putting pressure on him, and chuckled. "Then what’s heaven, and what’s Hell?"
Ji Ruyue’s snow‑white finger lightly traced across Wang Dadong’s chest as she said softly, "Right now is heaven. As for Hell... I don’t think you’d want to find out."
Wang Dadong suddenly flipped over, forcefully pressing Ji Ruyue beneath him, and grinned wickedly. "Then I’m going to heaven right now."
When Wang Dadong returned to his own place, it was already past eleven at night.
At this time most people on the farm were resting, except for some laborers who’d been forced to work overtime. But there was someone standing at his door.
Guna.
"Guna, why haven’t you gone to rest yet?" Wang Dadong asked softly.
When Guna saw Wang Dadong, a hint of joy flashed across her face. She couldn’t wait to ask, "Is there any news about my family?"
In fact, Wang Dadong had long known Guna was waiting here for him, just to find out news about her family.
"Not yet." Wang Dadong shook his head, then opened the door and went inside.
Guna followed him into the room as well.
"Guna, I said there’s still no news." Wang Dadong frowned slightly.
Guna’s expression shifted several times. In the end she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you just not willing to help me? If you don’t want to help me, you can just say it straight..."
"It’s not that I don’t want to help you, there really isn’t any news about them. Guna, if you trust me, then go back and wait for my news. If you don’t trust me, then forget it." Wang Dadong said with a dark face.
"I trust you." Seeing that Wang Dadong was angry, Guna hurriedly said.
"Alright, then go back." Wang Dadong’s tone eased.
After Guna left, Wang Dadong felt a bit of a headache.
He didn’t know what to do either. He couldn’t keep hiding it from Guna forever.
But once Guna found out that her child and husband had both died in a car accident, she would definitely give up on living.
Forget it, he could only take it one step at a time.
Very soon, half a month went by, and Wang Dadong still had no progress.
He had thought that since he’d settled Ji Ruyue, it wouldn’t be long before he could get news about Hao Wentao.
But Ji Ruyue only used him for fun and pleasure, and never talked to him about anything related to Devil’s Den.
That left him a bit irritable.
It had been more than a month since he’d come out, and he still hadn’t gotten any news about Hao Wentao. The more time passed, the more danger Hao Wentao was in.
He was starting to lose his patience.
But with Ji Ruyue not bringing it up, he didn’t dare ask on his own. If he made her suspicious, that’d be bad.
What frustrated him the most was that his business with Ji Ruyue had basically become known to everyone on the farm.
No matter where he went, he could hear people talking about him, saying he was a kept pretty boy kept by Ji Ruyue.
Calling him a pretty boy was one thing, but they even said he was Ji Ruyue’s dog.
He knew those people were just jealous and talking sour grapes, but put any man in his place and he still wouldn’t be able to stomach that kind of gossip.
And every time he was with Ji Ruyue, she was the one in complete control.
Eventually, Wang Dadong’s patience reached the breaking point, and he stormed off to find Ji Ruyue.
Ji Ruyue was lying on the sofa watching TV.
Ever since she started up with Wang Dadong, she had basically been living on the farm every day.
"Didn’t I tell you these few days I’m not in the mood, and told you not to come looking for me?" Ji Ruyue was lying on the sofa watching TV, speaking lazily.
"Ji Ruyue, I’ve had enough of this kind of life." Wang Dadong said angrily.
"Right now you not only get to enjoy me, you’re also in charge of the farm. With a life like this, you’re still not satisfied?" Ji Ruyue sat up from the sofa, looking at Wang Dadong with some confusion.
"Sure, I can ’enjoy’ you, but is that really enjoyment? Every position I want to use, you never let me. I may be in charge of the farm, but aren’t all the decisions made by you? I’m just the messenger. And do you know what they say about me? They say I’m the pretty boy you keep, a man who only knows how to live off a woman!" Wang Dadong was extremely worked up.
After hearing him out, Ji Ruyue more or less understood why he was so pissed off, and she chuckled. "You actually don’t need to care about what they think."
"I don’t care? How can I not care? I’m a man, I can’t rely on a woman for everything!"
Ji Ruyue looked at Wang Dadong with a playful expression. "Then what do you want?"
"I don’t want to keep idling around like this. I want to do big things, be someone truly useful. If this keeps up, I’d rather leave the farm." Wang Dadong roared.
The corners of Ji Ruyue’s lips lifted slightly. "You want to do big things, then prove to me you have the guts for big things."
Wang Dadong frowned at her words. Why had he come to make a scene like this?
Was it really just because others were calling him a pretty boy?
Impossible.
That level of insult wasn’t even enough to scratch his thick skin.
The reason he’d come to stir things up with Ji Ruyue was to find a way to get close to the real Devil’s Den!
