Ever since we were kids, every time I've made him angry, I've used this trick. It works every single time. But don't tell anyone else! Ahem... it ruins his 'Iceberg Shentu' image.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Thank you.\" Regardless of whether it would be effective, she accepted his gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jie's smile gradually faded, \"...Yesterday, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, He Le turned around. \"You didn't do anything wrong; it was my reaction that was excessive... I'm sorry, I hit you.\" Regardless of her mood or how humiliated she felt, her position relative to this man determined that she had no right to hold him accountable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\" Being apologized to so solemnly by a woman for the first time—and under the premise that he had been the one bullying her—Ji Jie, who considered himself a protector of the fair sex, felt completely uncomfortable. \"Then... let's just pretend I never said that and you never hit me, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mm.\" For the first time, He Le faced Ji Jie and gave a relaxed, elegant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this woman with her fresh, simple charm looking so defenseless, Ji Jie felt his heart itching again. He lowered his head and leaned toward her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is one thing I still have to say—\" He lightly kissed her earlobe, \"Your voice is beautiful, no matter when.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her personality weren't unsuitable, he would have considered signing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo looked at the ice cream and egg fried rice on the tray, then raised his eyes to look at He Le.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Ji Jie teach you this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle pats to you girls~~ It's already the third day in a flash~~ Seeing so many girls go out of their way to get VIP accounts just for *Jiangshan*~ learning how to top up~ *Jiangshan* is truly, truly, truly grateful to everyone!!

Was he expecting her to buy frozen ones to fry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll make more tomorrow, you...\" He Le stopped herself. What use was it to make more tomorrow if he wanted to eat today? \"...I'm sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo lowered his eyes to look at the ice cream, then suddenly reached out to spin the ice cream container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, He Le's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and then... she hallucinated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually saw Shentu Mo smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a cruel, cold sneer, nor a mocking smirk; it was just... a smile. A simple, pleasant, faint smile that bloomed from his pursed lips, like a soft pink petal from spring drifting onto frozen water; the ice slowly melted, and the petal swayed along with it... That gradually spreading smile even seemed to carry a hint of nostalgia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le's incredibly tense heart actually calmed down in the face of this faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo's cold and noble temperament usually exerted immense pressure, and that profound sense of distance often made people afraid to look him in the face. Even though that face possessed a sharp, knife-like handsomeness, if a woman didn't have supreme self-confidence, she would likely never dare to harbor any covetous thoughts toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, this devil on the iceberg actually... actually revealed such a light and charming smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't really like sweets.\" Shentu Mo glanced at He Le and chuckled lightly. Even as he said this, he opened the lid of the ice cream and picked up a small spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his actions, He Le was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to take the ice cream away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh—it's not good to eat on an empty stomach. I'll put it in the fridge for you first, and you can eat it after your meal... Is, is that okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo tilted his head slightly and stared at her overly earnest little face for a long time before chuckling and handing the small spoon to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I'll eat it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, He Le regretted her big mouth to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who eats ice cream in a bathtub? Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice cream in the container had already melted into a thick, creamy state, but since the man hadn't said he wouldn't eat it, she could only feed him one small spoonful at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her honey-hole was still filled with his giant member as usual, but this time it wasn't her wiping him down; he was wiping her down. She hadn't felt anything when she did it herself, but now, with him rubbing a bath sponge all over her body, she felt itchy everywhere...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twisted her body in discomfort, only to suddenly feel the thing inside her swell even more. Terrified, she guiltily peeked at Shentu Mo, forgetting even to feed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like we've been soaking too long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-mm-mm!\" He Le nodded repeatedly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... we'd better eat it quickly.\" Shentu Mo held a faint smile and took the ice cream container from her hand. Just when she thought he would drink the melted ice cream juice in an unrefined way, he actually raised his hand and poured half a container of the sticky ice juice all over her body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\" It was so cold. He Le let out a small cry of surprise, \"Sh-Shentu-sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo chuckled and leaned toward her pepper-nipples stained with ice cream juice, licking and kissing them delicately, \"It's faster to eat it this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" He Le held onto the edge of the bathtub. To accommodate his movements, she had to bend her waist backward and arch her chest as much as possible, her small waist folding like a willow by the river, which made her very uncomfortable. Was he eating ice cream or eating her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Does it taste good?\" the woman suddenly asked, emboldened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\" Shentu Mo laughed out loud, \"I take back what I said. I do like eating this kind of sweet treat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his laughter, He Le weighed her options before daring to ask, \"Are you... not angry anymore?\" Rather than living in constant fear of when he might explode, she preferred to face his anger directly when she was mentally prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo's smile faded. With a calm expression, he scooped up some water to wipe the ice cream juice from her chest, then gripped her waist and began to slowly thrust in and out of her water-hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't get angry that easily; I just detest stupid mistakes.\" Shentu Mo looked at He Le's guilty yet shy little face, his tone lacking its usual coldness. \"I said you could choose to tell me or not, but lying to me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I'm sorry.\" He had indeed warned her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don't let it happen again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexpected surprise leaped into her eyes, and He Le smiled like a flower, \"Mm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell Ji Jie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About the ice cream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le thought for a long time before she understood what Shentu Mo meant... He said he didn't like sweets, but every time Ji Jie made Shentu Mo angry since they were kids, he could appease him with ice cream. There was only one reason for that—Shentu Mo didn't want to hold a grudge against Ji Jie at all; he was just... using the ice cream as a way to step down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\" This man... at least he was unexpectedly gentle toward his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it that funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no... Ah—don't, don't... yaah... too, too fast... mm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was the gratitude of \"surviving a disaster,\" or perhaps it was the first time she discovered Shentu Mo's \"human side\" that made her appreciate this man a little, but the next two hours were the first time since entering the apartment that she cooperated with the man's body without reservation, being as enchanting as she could be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That intense, joyous lovemaking and her tight, slick passage also caused Shentu Mo to indulge for a while. Only when a cramping pain came from his stomach did he reluctantly let go of the woman in his arms, withdraw his unsatisfied desire, and get out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le picked up the thing he had thrown onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versace? A phone brand she had never heard of...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... is for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I wouldn't mind if you smashed this one too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... but I—\" She didn't want their things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take it! I'll, I'll take it...\" She could only do the same as with that dress from Ruan Lin; leave the money behind when the three-month term was up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem~ Still only one chapter today~~ But there will be a double update tomorrow~~ Come to rescue the Mine Owner!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mwah to all you girls!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to yyrs, girl; Joannaji2006, girl; qifugoudemao, girl; jing2008zi, girl; Liu Fan, girl; m1220132646, girl; Wen Lan, girl; and mini67236, girl, for the two (Mwah~ teehee~ honored!) \"urge to update\" dragon sequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to Ning Xiang Lian Kong, girl, for the spiked club! fu2007, girl, for the fruit tea, and Ni Ni, girl, for the macaron!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to lanahi1103, girl~~ and yuanchang09, girl, for the macaron and fruit tea!\u003C\u002Fp>",1800,"2026-06-14T03:55:58.348Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","934ac36f55f53f49004d1ea0fae9ca5ca19823e87da68751d270584f5a01d7bc","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-89","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-87",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
