Her shiny gray-blue eyes had been fixed on him the whole time, her body wriggling like a fuzzy caterpillar as she changed into a silky camisole nightgown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline was more drunk than last time—so drunk she could barely stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, isn’t my house pretty? Look at this Security Seal I’ve got in my hand. If I activate it, every door in the house will lock. No one can open them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, let me tell you, I’ve run into a bunch of problems with the student council lately…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, Adeline, tuck your hand back in. You’ll catch a cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the tenth time tonight, Felyn stuffed Adeline’s wandering hand back under the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah, Felyn, I want to grab something! Don’t shove my hand back in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline struggled to sit up, flipped over onto her knees on the bed, and began rummaging around on the nightstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that thin lavender camisole nightgown was so sheer—it showed her entire underwear set clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her full figure was on full display right in front of Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline held her forehead with one hand and handed something to Felyn with the other, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is called the Tidal Heart. It’s a matching pair with the charm I gave you earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn’s mind clicked. He remembered the store clerk mentioning this during his date with Veloti that afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wasn’t this kind of thing something lovers usually exchanged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as Adeline raised her charm and lightly touched it to the one he wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it senses your feelings of love, the one I’m holding will light up beautifully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline stared expectantly at the charm in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No light, not even a flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s eyes stared dumbfounded at the charm, then looked at Felyn, then back at the charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why isn’t it working?” she tilted her head, clearly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would’ve been a miracle if it did light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love? Between the two of us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is clearly just a contract—me taking orders from you. That’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn began to wonder if the alcohol had completely short-circuited her brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn! Felyn, Felyn! Why isn’t it lighting up?! I can feel it—I know there’s love! Why doesn’t it work…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you feel love?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn froze. He couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adeline, just to clarify… you think I like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice unintentionally rose. He stared straight at Adeline, trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s gray-blue eyes shimmered in the moonlight. She nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, I’ve actually known all along. You like me, don’t you? You’re just too scared to admit it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alcohol finally kicked in. Adeline started spilling everything in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I… like Adeline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn opened his mouth, but the shock of that statement was so great, he didn’t even know where to start refuting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adeline, what made you think that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just know.” Adeline rolled on the bed. “You always express your love under the excuse of contract duties. I even heard you say you liked me in front of Linda back at Dreamy Summer . There’s more, so much more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But wasn’t that all part of the contract?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s expression shifted. She struggled to sit up, the strap of her nightgown slipping further down her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, Felyn. This is called tsundere behavior, right? I’ve been reading lots of novels lately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline puffed up her chest, looking very pleased with herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s a tsundere? Me? I’m a tsundere?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn racked his brain trying to figure out how Adeline had come to that conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tsundere? Me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the contract period, he always did what Adeline said. Outside of it, he avoided her as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no reason to think that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you reject me, it’s because deep down you really want to be with me, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we’re together, you always sneak glances at me, but you’re too shy to admit it, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, too—you clearly wanted to go to the Royal Capital with me, but didn’t say yes right away. If that’s not tsundere, what is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was about to lose it. Was he hearing this right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was talking about me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, Adeline, are you seriously this full of yourself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Adeline’s mind, what kind of role did I even play?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shy, secretly-in-love-with-her boy who clings to her under the excuse of a contract?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I’m not that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn wanted to argue. His mouth opened—then closed again. He ended up saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced up at the clock on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t even ten o’clock yet—still within the contract service period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the number one rule of this job: never argue with the client during their time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Adeline was already completely drunk and just talking nonsense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just had to coax her to sleep. After ten o’clock, he could leave. Anything beyond that wasn’t his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw the charm glow,” Felyn said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Where? Where?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only people who close their eyes quietly and go to sleep can see it. No one else can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm. I saw it with my own eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline immediately closed her eyes, placed her hands neatly at her sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn tucked her in gently and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline, just sleep like this, okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her breathing gradually steadied, Felyn watched the hands on the wall clock creep toward ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight streamed through the curtains, casting soft shadows over Adeline’s face. Her rose-colored hair spilled across the white pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips were slightly parted, her breath tinged with wine, and a faint blush lingered on her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why you’ve been treating me so nicely lately,” Felyn murmured, smiling helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it all made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why she’d asked, “Will you still love me after the contract ends?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she keep buying him clothes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she treat him so well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all because of the contract. All because she developed false feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a hassle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn rubbed his face with both hands and headed downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During contracted service time, if a situation like this came up, Felyn would always go along with the client’s feelings. After all, they paid for the illusion—and he was here to provide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it happened outside service time, Felyn would always tell them the truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t love you. What you feel for me isn’t real.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he could avoid upsetting clients during service hours, while also preventing them from falling deeper into those fake emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he probably wouldn’t see Adeline again during his own service schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The contract’s almost over anyway. I’ll just explain everything to her then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn walked to the entryway and turned the doorknob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he remembered—Adeline had been showing off her house’s security system earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That security seal she activated—the one that locks all the doors and makes it so no one can open them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a57f80532a39ab32843f3122e4385f52f2ec9a3107ad7178c419a3685af4757","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-129","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-127",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
