Chapter 17 A Beast Is Not of My Race

He thought to himself, "Look, we're starting to negotiate terms." "What right do you have to negotiate with me?" Xiao Nanye's face darkened as he glared at her coldly. This tone was really unpleasant to hear. She thought to herself, "It is clearly you who take advantage of others and force me to submit to you. You, a big man, are so vulgar, overbearing, rude, and unreasonable." "Mr. Xiao, are you sure you are really an earthling?" "Could it be that he followed the space trash to Earth when he was young?" When Xiao Nanye saw her expression change, he knew what she was thinking. He tapped his finger on his knee, his expression mysterious. "Miss Su seems to like to communicate with people in the second dimension. You shouldn't be from an alien planet, right?" "Huh?" Su Mo was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out. Obviously, she did not expect that the beast would joke with her. However, she thought there was one thing that the beast said was right. He was definitely not a member of the human race. Su Mo thought about it and said to him, "I know I don't have the right to negotiate with you, but since we have to spend so much time together, you don't want me to think about how to escape all day, right?" "You are very honest." Xiao Nanye glanced at her. Being seen through, Su Mo gave a dry laugh. "Actually, my request is very simple. I am not your pet, and I can't stay here 24 hours a day. I also have my own life. I hope you don't interfere with my life." With her qualifications, it was not difficult for her to find a job in A City. Moreover, before she returned to the country, she had already sent resumes to several good companies. Presumably, there would be results soon. As if he had seen through her thoughts, Xiao Nanye sneered. The moment he opened his mouth, he spared no effort to attack her. "From now on, staying by my side is your job. The reward is ten million and the contract period is one year." "Of course, if I am unhappy during this period, I will let you leave at any time." "But before I tell you to stop, you can only stay by my side honestly, unless you can repay the ten million." She thought to herself, "Ten million, ten million... If you don't mention it, will you die?" Su Mo glared at him with red eyes. She didn't know if she was angry or wronged. In short, she felt that she couldn't talk to the beast anymore. They weren't on the same channel at all! However, she also understood that she couldn't ask for more than what she could get. At least, it was already a good sign that she could communicate calmly with the beast now, wasn't it? "People have to lower their heads when living under the roof of others. This sentence is indeed correct." Su Mo curled her lips. She had not yet recovered from her illness. After talking to Xiao Nanye for half a day, she felt more tired than she had been through a battle. Exhaustion struck her, and before she could lie down properly, she fell asleep directly against the headboard. When Xiao Nanye saw that she kept her head down and did not speak, he thought that she was angry. When he walked over, he saw that she had fallen asleep. There was a slight snoring sound in her nose, and her thick eyelashes were like two small fans, trembling from time to time. She was really cute. "She's obviously a stupid woman," Xiao Nanye said with a frown, not understanding why he would have such thoughts. The rich fragrance woke up the people in their dreams. That was right, Su Mo woke up from hunger. When she woke up, she saw a person standing in the room. Before her eyes could adjust to the light, she heard the person say, "Miss Su, you're awake! Are you hungry? There's porridge in the kitchen. Wait for me to get it for you!" Hearing that it was a woman's voice, Su Mo immediately put down the vigilance in her heart, since it was good that the person was not Xiao Nanye. Because it was inconvenient for her since her hand was injured, the other party insisted on feeding her porridge. The person also said that it was because of Mr. Xiao's order. Once Su Mo heard it, she knew that it was Xiao Nanye who did it. However, her hand was indeed uncomfortable, so she did not insist. Su Mo chatted with her as she ate porridge. Only then did she realize that this was the nurse that Xiao Nanye had hired for her. Her name was Ah Lan, and she had specially come to take care of her food and drinks. Su Mo felt that Xiao Nanye was making a big fuss over a small matter. She thought to herself, "I only have one hand injured, not a second-degree disability. Is there a need to find someone to serve me?" "Could it be that this person is sent to monitor me?" Thinking of how Xiao Nanye especially found someone to monitor her every move, Su Mo suddenly felt quite faint from head to toe. Her eyes were full of inquiry as she looked at Ah Lan. "What time is it now?" Su Mo asked Ah Lan after finishing the porridge. Ah Lan replied, "It's almost five o'clock. It's getting dark outside. If Miss Su is tired, just lie down and rest! Mr. Xiao said that he will come back a little later today because he has something to do, so you don't have to wait for him." Looking at Ah Lan's ambiguous expression, Su Mo held her forehead and sighed. She just wanted to know the time, and she didn't care about whether the beast came back or not. Moreover, she did not intend to wait for him. There was no phone in the room. Su Mo wanted to borrow the mobile phone from Ah Lan. Unexpectedly, the moment Su Mo opened her mouth, this elder sister suddenly became cautious. Ah Lan said, "Sir instructed me not to lend you a phone, nor to let you leave this house. If Miss Su wants to make a phone call, you should wait for Sir to come back and tell him yourself!" Su Mo thought to herself, "Do I still need to apply to him for a call?" "And how long will it take for him to come back?" "Please, please. I'll just make a call to my friend. He won't know as long as you don't tell him." Su Mo was still unwilling to give up and looked at Ah Lan with pitiful eyes. In the end, Ah Lan still refused. Although she was a nurse, she also had her own professional conduct. She would not go against what the customer had specially instructed her to do. It was even more impossible for her to commit a violation that she knew. This was related to her high salary. It was not a joke. Su Mo, who was ruthlessly rejected, felt extremely stifled. Under Ah Lan's supervision, she drank the medicine and lay down. Her head was dizzy and she soon fell asleep playing chess with the God of Dreams. When Su Mo woke up in the morning, her head was still a little dull. She opened her eyes and suddenly saw a magnified handsome face in front of her. She was so scared that she screamed. She wanted to escape from this strange aura, but she found that the other party's hand was resting on her waist, and the temperature that was penetrated by his palm suddenly became hot. However, when she moved, she woke up the person next to her. Xiao Nanye opened his eyes and looked at her. His long and narrow eyes carried a lazy aura that made one's heart beat faster. He turned to look at the time and found that it was only five o'clock, so he hugged her in his arms, closed his eyes, and went to sleep. His movement affected all the nerves in her body, making Su Mo tense up in fear as if she was facing a great enemy. Not long after, even breathing sounds could be heard. Su Mo looked at him in disbelief, thinking to herself, "At this time, he could still fall asleep. He really isn't of the same race as us." Xiao Nanye was asleep, but Su Mo couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She tried to pull the beast's arms off her waist, but obviously, she failed. To avoid waking him up, she had no choice but to give up. She was so tense that she did not dare to move. It had been a long time since Xiao Nanye had slept so comfortably. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the woman in his arms who was on guard. The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer. In Su Mo's eyes, this smile was extremely horrifying. Su Mo grinned awkwardly, but she found that she could not laugh at all. She could not even force herself to do it. She could only say dryly, "Well, morning, morning!" "Actually, I prefer you to say good morning in another way!" Xiao Nanye narrowed his eyes, and Su Mo's heart immediately rang with alarm. Just as she was about to make a move, she was pulled into his embrace by his long arms. He was so overbearing that it was impossible to resist him. Su Mo had not forgotten about what had happened in Dark Night. She did not dare to disobey the beast, so she had been very obedient recently. She thought that perhaps as long as she stopped resisting, the beast would not be interested in her! For the next two days, Xiao Nanye left early and returned late. Sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that he was already sleeping beside her, and his body exuded the aura of a mature man. However, she was already quite calm and did not scream out in fear anymore. During the day, Ah Lan was taking care of her and she could not go anywhere. She had nothing to do, so she watched TV to kill the time. She accidentally saw all kinds of rumors about this master. She didn't expect Xiao Nanye to be so famous in A City. He had a scandal with many celebrities and wealthy people, and the most popular one among them was a famous actress. According to the news, he went to England to have a secret rendezvous with her. This suspected official girlfriend was called Ye Yan. She was one of the few female stars that Su Mo liked. Ye Yan was young and beautiful. The key point was that her acting skills were good. She had only been in the industry for a few years, but her acting career was booming. After watching the sensational news, Su Mo was very depressed. She did not know how a great beauty like Ye Yan was related to that beast. After two days of boredom, Su Mo's cold and fever were all cured, but the wound on her hand was too deep and she could not move for the time being. Although this kind of confined life had only been two days, she was almost driven crazy. She walked around the room all afternoon and even thought of a way to knock Ah Lan out. After dinner, Su Mo did not sleep. She sent Ah Lan away and then sat alone in the living room watching TV. As she watched, sleepiness swept over her body. She had been silently chanting to herself, "You can't sleep", but in the end, she couldn't resist the sleepiness. When Xiao Nanye came back, it was already very late. He was a little surprised to hear the movement in the living room. He did not turn on the lights. As he walked to the living room to take a look, he saw Su Mo sitting in the corner of the sofa. The TV on the wall was broadcasting a midnight theater. As for the person on the sofa, she had already fallen asleep while hugging the pillow. He never thought that there would be such a day when a woman was sitting in the living room waiting for him to go home, though this woman could not wait to fall asleep. The dim screen in the living room gave him a warm feeling, like the feeling when he was with his mother as a child, which made him feel satisfied that he had never experienced it before. He squatted on the carpet and looked at the woman on the sofa. She didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. Her mouth would occasionally mutter a few words in her sleep. Xiao Nanye listened to what she said. "Beast, quickly get back to your planet." "Beast?" "Planet?" "Did this woman watch some kind of brainless interstellar blockbuster?" He stretched out his hand and pinched her tender face. She looked very obedient when she fell asleep.
