Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind

Shi Yu was practically floating on cloud nine!

Grandpa Shi was stunned: "You want to move into Miss Qiao’s house? Why?"

Yun Sui, standing beside him, suddenly understood: "Oh, right, right! Miss Qiao is his destined one—she can improve Shi Yu’s health. Moving in with her is the best choice!"

She eagerly turned to Qiao Chuchu: "Miss Qiao, don’t worry, my grandson won’t cause you any trouble. He’s been well-behaved and disciplined since childhood. I’ll pay you 500,000 yuan a month for one room, with meals covered separately. We’ll also provide a driver and a male housekeeper to take care of Shi Yu’s daily needs. My husband and I will never visit your home, so we won’t interfere with your private life. What do you think?"

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes widened: "500,000? That’s way too much!"

Yun Sui warmly grasped her hands: "No, no, it’s necessary. My grandson’s health is fragile, and we don’t want to burden your emotions. Plus, I’ll bring you along to any work-related events in the future! We’ll be like family! Our companies should support each other too!"

Shi Yu, still lying on the ground, looked at her hopefully: "Miss Qiao, you won’t dislike me now, right? I really don’t want to trouble you."

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

She leaned down, her expression darkening as she hissed in his ear: "Stop pretending. What could be more troublesome than you breaking your own leg on purpose?"

Shi Yu blinked, then broke into a fascinated smile: "So Miss Qiao can be this fierce?"

Qiao Chuchu lowered her voice further: "I’ve never hidden my true nature. But you? You played the innocent, delicate flower, serenading me with piano music, and when I refused, you threw yourself down to win my sympathy. You’ve got more schemes than a beehive has holes."

Shi Yu’s eyes sparkled as he looked up with feigned innocence: "No, I really am frail."

Qiao Chuchu gave him a sarcastic smile: "Right, the only thing real about you is your frailty. The rest is all an act."

Shi Yu’s grin widened, watching her with amusement but not denying it.

Qiao Chuchu scoffed.

[And here I thought he was some untouched, pure-hearted soul. Turns out he’s a man-eating flower.]

[But I can understand his desperation. If I were fighting for survival, I’d break my own leg without hesitation too.]

[Even if the person he’s scheming against is me.]

Shi Yu’s smile faded slightly as he studied her with curiosity.

She… actually understood him?

The ambulance arrived soon after.

Yun Sui and Grandpa Shi rushed Shi Yu to the hospital in a panic.

Fortunately, it was just a fracture in his left ankle—a cast and some rest would fix it.

Seated in a wheelchair, he rolled over to Qiao Chuchu, who was leaning against the hallway wall, lost in thought.

Shi Yu glanced around, confirming his grandparents weren’t nearby, then reached out and tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Qiao Chuchu looked down at him coldly.

From his wheelchair, Shi Yu gazed up at her, eyes full of pleading: "Are you still mad at me for scheming against you?"

She remained silent, her expression icy.

"Don’t be angry," he said, giving her sleeve a little shake. "Once I’m better, I’ll work hard and buy you anything you want. I’ll even transfer some of my company shares to you—consider it compensation for putting up with me. You won’t have to work anymore. I’ll take care of you."

Qiao Chuchu’s face darkened. She grabbed his mouth and pinched hard!

Shi Yu winced: "Mmph?!"

He stared at her in confusion: "Mmmph?!"

What was that for?!

With a disdainful look, she slowly pulled his lips upward, stretching his mouth like a teapot spout: "I did think it over earlier and realized I wasn’t considering your desperation to survive. If our roles were reversed, I’d do everything to make you live with me too. I get why you schemed, but understanding doesn’t mean I’m not pissed. Got it?"

Shi Yu blinked rapidly and nodded.

Got it.

She tightened her grip slightly: "Since we’re going to be roommates, let me make something clear—I *hate* when men say they’ll ‘take care of me.’ My family can say it all they want, but outsiders? No. If you ever say it again, you can go home and wait to die."

Shi Yu’s eyes widened in shock.

She hated that phrase?

Instantly, Qiao Chuchu put on a polite smile for the elders: "Shall we go, then?"

Yun Sui nodded, then frowned at Shi Yu: "Shi Yu, why is your mouth red?"

Shi Yu absently touched his lips, then glanced at Qiao Chuchu.

She stood behind the elders, her smile perfectly polite, but when their eyes met, she tilted her head slightly, raising a brow as if daring him to answer.

Shi Yu: "..."

He licked his lips, then turned to his grandparents with an innocent look: "My mouth itched, so I scratched it."

"Oh, you." Yun Sui chuckled, then smiled apologetically at Qiao Chuchu: "We’ll be troubling you from now on, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Chuchu shook her head: "Not at all. It’s my honor to help you both."

Shi Yu, watching her act, wheeled behind her and poked her palm with a finger.

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

She shot him a sidelong glare.

Shi Yu smirked back, utterly unrepentant.

Yun Sui beamed with genuine joy: "Look how happy Shi Yu is! It’s rare to see him so lively."

Rolling his wheelchair beside her, Shi Yu grinned: "Because I’m already looking forward to living with Miss Qiao!"

His eyes shone with excitement: "I can’t wait to discover more sides of her!"
