《The Villain's Redemption》Chapter 17 - The Weird One
Advertisement
It did not take too long for Mo Li to return with a lawyer on the same day of their conversation. Of course, this is not surprising as he was, after all an idol. He always has access to lawyers and PR specialists who can easily bail him out when encountering something that could possibly ruin his reputation.
After signing the contract, Mo Li promptly told her to move. She needs to stay at his place as a part of their deal. He had even graciously helped her pack her things just to speed things up. As to why he wanted her to move as soon as possible, Li Yue had no idea. However, she could feel a storm brewing just from this deal alone, and she is in the eye of it.
Be that as it may, she would not let the opportunity to get close to him pass. It is essential for her to understand her target's personality and make him avoid the female lead as much as possible.
"This is it?" she exclaimed when she entered the three-bedroom condominium that he owned which is in one of the most secure neighborhoods in Yin City. "This place… is barren." She immediately uttered. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/the-weird-one_47983598590027366 for visiting.
"Compared to yours… this place is more alive."
Li Yue bit her tongue in defeat. She really had no words to argue against that. Her previous apartment was indeed void of life. With unpacked luggage and dust, one would easily think that no one is living in that apartment.
On the other hand, just like what Mo Li said, this place is very much alive. With lots of plants both hanging and in pots, she felt like she had entered a cabin in the woods, contrary to the urban view outside. She eyed the only long gray couch in the living room. In front of the couch was a small coffee table made of wood. A couple of books were also neatly stacked on top of the table, promptly giving her the cozy vibe of a warm cabin.

His home was clean, with a warm atmosphere, and overall, very nice. She immediately wondered as to why Mo Li liked to hide from people when he is living in a place like this.
"Imagine living here alone." He said as if sensing the question mark on her head.
"I would love to live in this place alone." She answered.
"Well… you're the weird one." He retorted as he started walking towards the wooden stairs. "I'm not." He gestured for her to follow him. "Your stuff will arrive here in a few minutes. You have that much luggage and yet you only wear like… five clothes a week." He uttered.
Li Yue ignored his comments. First of all, almost all of the original Li Yue's clothes are dresses and skirts. Everything is just too fashionable, too revealing for her taste! Secondly, she is not very comfortable wearing such short and tight clothes. True, this body might be smoking hot in some people's standard but she thinks that this body is just too skinny! And thirdly, well, she does not wish to attract the envy of the female lead! After all, the female lead is not as skinny as she is.
What if the female lead suddenly thinks that Li Yue is too s.e.xy? The universe always aligns itself with the female lead's wishes! This might cause her more problems in the future.
"Here we are," He opened the door next to the stairs. "That one is my room and the other is the guest room. Come" he opened the door to another room, revealing a room painted white and adorned with warm tones of green.
"This… "
"Not pink, but it's clean." He slid his finger across the table. "See? No dust."
Li Yue squinted her eyes at the man's mocking remark. But instead of having an argument with the insensitive douche, she decided to examine the room.

"It only has a small closet, but it should be enough to fit your five sets of clothes and unopened luggage."
She glared at him in response. "You really should stop insulting my previous living conditions." She started pacing around the room, touching the furniture every once in a while. "I used to come from a rich family. Then I woke up one day to discover that I wasn't really one of them. Imagine the horror I felt."
"You're just lazy." He shrugged.
"I am not!" she responded as she bounced on the bed. "I was working as hard as I could, finishing art commissions just to earn money. You won't understand my pitiful state, ah." She faked a sad smile. "I am so pitiful, I can't even eat three times a day because of work!"
"That's only because you are too lazy to cook."
"I am not lazy!"
Shrugging, he walked towards the window next to her bed. "I would have told you to keep this place clean but… you won't really stay here for long. So, just do whatever you want. I can have this table replaced if you want to."
"That—that sounds good." She smiled and eyed the plants inside the room. "You should probably take the plants out. I won't be able to water them."
"Again, you're just too lazy." He turned towards her. "I am not taking it out. You'll water it. This is now your room."
She pouted in response. However, she could not really say anything against the man who owns the place.
"Just so you know, I don't cook." Mo Li added. "You can buy your own groceries and, well, do whatever you want. The kitchen is fully equipped. You just need to buy your own supplies as I don't have any ingredients, just some eggs, and flour."
"Got it. What about school?" she asked.
"What about it?"
"Well, I don't have a car and this place is pretty far from the school."
"Then you'll have to find a way to get to school." He walked towards the door. "I won't let you ride in my car."
"You— How can you be so cruel?"
"That is not a part of the contract." He answered. "And am I not already paying you and letting you stay for free?"
"If that's how you're going to play it, then… I will only stay here during the weekends." She stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. How could she stand such pettiness? Does this man think that she loves money enough to ignore this? Alright, maybe she does. But still!
She is a person with principles!
"Where are you going?"
"We have classes tomorrow." She said and started walking down the stairs. "I will go back to my apartment and rest early." Without waiting for him to say anything. Li Yue had already dragged her suitcase towards the door. "I'll come back once there is an event or if it's a weekend." Good thing she had not yet canceled the rent to her previous apartment. She sighed as she triumphantly walked out of the flat, leaving Mo Li frozen on his feet.
[Take! That! You villain!] the robot enthusiastically chimed inside her head.
