I Am More Paranoid Than the Villain – Chapter 104

Deliberate Seduction

Shen Man is definitely not that kind of person

Shen Man returned to the room.

A message popped up on the cellphone; it was a friend request: “Shen-jiejie, I am Shuangshuang.”

She stared at it for a moment, then agreed to the request.

Ni Shuang was wearing a bathrobe, leaning against the headboard, a confident smile revealed on her face.

She held the phone high, tilted her head back to snap a photo, and after meticulously retouching it, sent it out. She typed, “Shen-jiejie, there is a red spot on my body. I don’t know if it’s an allergy.”

“I am so worried.” After typing, she attached a crying emoji.

Shen Man saw the photo and gave a light scoff.

The woman in the photo had her bathrobe hanging loosely over her body, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin. That so-called red spot was actually just a mark made by lipstick on the skin.

In this photo, the meaning of seduction was self-evident.

Shen Man deleted the photo and did not reply.

She leaned against the headboard, picked up a book, and began to read with focus.

The phone rang several times in succession.

Shen Man pondered for a moment, put down the book, and picked up the phone.

This time it was another photo and words acting coquettishly and selling cuteness.

The person in the photo was lying on their side, one leg bent, posing in an enchanting posture.

The bathrobe reached almost to the root of the thigh, exposing a pair of snow-white, slender long legs.

“Shen-jiejie, it seems I have red spots on my leg too. Could it be an allergy from eating the wrong thing?” One sentence was divided into three sends.

Seeing this sentence, Shen Man typed a reply, “Do you want to go to the hospital to take a look tomorrow?”

“You accompany me, okay?” Ni Shuang’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, “I am unfamiliar with the place and people here, and Lin Shu is busy with work. I am embarrassed to trouble her.”

Shen Man understood the meaning of this sentence.

She thought for a moment, then typed, “Apologies, my work is very busy tomorrow, I’m afraid I won’t have time.”

“Alright then, I can only go by myself.” Ni Shuang said, sending a pitiful and lovable emoji over.

She casually smoothed her collar, seriously looking at the two photos she had sent out.

Analyzing the meaning within Shen Man’s words, the interest in the depths of her eyes grew thicker.

“Okay, pay more attention to yourself.” Shen Man finished typing, put down the phone, and an indifferent smile appeared on her face.

These little tricks of Ni Shuang were not clever at all. Whether in the past or now, she would not fall for them.

Compared to being hunted as prey, she preferred being the hunter herself, enjoying the feeling of controlling everything.

Shen Man went to sleep with a relaxed mood.

Lin Shu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She stared at the time on the phone screen, counting it passing minute by minute and second by second.

3:00 AM, 4:00 AM, until 5:00 AM; only then could she finally hold on no longer and closed her eyelids.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from outside.

Lin Shu opened her eyes, her mind a patch of grogginess.

“Shushu, get up to eat breakfast,” Shen Man said while standing outside.

“Got it,” Lin Shu answered impatiently.

She lay there for a while, then got up to wash up.

Shen Man was waiting by the dining table.

Seeing Lin Shu come out with a complexion that wasn’t too good, she immediately asked with concern, “Shushu, what’s wrong? Did you not sleep well last night?”

“None of your business,” Lin Shu said ill-naturedly, sitting down with a sunken face.

Shen Man tactfully said no more.

The two finished breakfast, and Lin Shu left first.

Shen Man tidied up the dining table and prepared to go out.

A message popped up on the phone: “Shen-jiejie, good morning. The sun in the early morning is truly beautiful.”

Below it was attached a picture of a back silhouette standing before a windowsill, bathing in the sunlight.

The shooting angle was not bad; the artistic conception was beautiful, completely displaying a slender and beautiful figure.

“Morning.” Shen Man simply replied with one word, put away the phone, and went downstairs.

She drove to the company.

Along the way, Ni Shuang sent quite a few messages over; all were selfies from various angles.

Displaying her beauty and charm to her.

Shen Man did not reply.

After finishing a day’s work, she sent a message to Lin Shu, “Shushu, what do you want to eat tonight?”

Lin Shu ordered a few spicy dishes.

Shen Man could not help but smile, typing, “Good, do you want to make a soup?”

“No!” Lin Shu refused decisively.

Just after sending this message, she received a call from Ni Shuang.

She picked it up, her tone cold and indifferent, “What is it?”

Ni Shuang did not care in the slightest, smiling as she said, “Lin Shu, is Shen-jiejie cooking again tonight?”

“En.” Lin Shu gave a sound of agreement, acting as if she were very busy. “Shen Man said she is making duojiao fish head1, laziji2, and also green pepper fried pork tonight. It’s all spicy dishes. You should still go eat at the hotel.”

Duojiao Fish Head
Laziji

“I don’t want to. I just want to eat the dishes Shen-jiejie makes.” Ni Shuang said in a spoiled manner, smiling charmingly. “If I can’t even withstand this bit of spice, how can I taste Jiejie’s sweetness?”

Hearing the hidden meaning in these words, Lin Shu struck back without politeness, “Shen Man isn’t like those women you met before. She isn’t that easy to cheat.”

“Have you cheated her?” Ni Shuang asked with a smile.

Lin Shu was choked up for a moment, unable to answer, and huffed angrily.

Ni Shuang smiled even more happily, asking curiously, “She is the CEO of a big company, why did she run over to your place to be a nanny?”

“She is temporarily staying at my place,” Lin Shu answered with anger.

Ni Shuang did not believe this rhetoric, smiling as she said, “It’s not like she can’t afford to buy a house, why stay at your place?”

Lin Shu did not want to continue this topic and deliberately said loudly, “Do you have anything else? If not, go eat. Stay properly in the hotel today. I am off tomorrow, I will accompany you out to play.”

“Eh, don’t hang up the phone, I have serious business with you,” Ni Shuang hurriedly said.

“Speak!” Lin Shu said coldly; the simple word appeared ruthless.

Ni Shuang did not care at all. She sent several photos to Lin Shu in succession and asked unwillingly, “Lin Shu, how do you think these photos of mine were taken?”

“Did you send them to Shen Man?” Lin Shu asked subconsciously after finishing looking at the photos.

“Of course I sent them,” Ni Shuang answered with a face full of matter-of-factness, then finished somewhat gloomily, “She didn’t have any reaction after seeing them.”

Hearing this, a surge of joy rose in Lin Shu’s heart.

The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and she mocked without politeness, “I don’t have any reaction after seeing them either.”

“Annoying, why do you have to strike at this person’s3 self-confidence like this…” Ni Shuang said, deliberately acting aggrieved, reaching out to tease a lock of hair. “You don’t understand romantic sentiment at all, unable to comprehend my charm.”

Lin Shu gave a tsk and continued to make sarcastic remarks, “Shen Man is also a person who doesn’t understand romantic sentiment. She definitely can’t comprehend it either.”

“Lin Shu, you are wrong in saying this. I dare to bet, Shen Man is absolutely a master of the game of love. She is fundamentally not as pure as she appears on the surface.” Ni Shuang said with certainty, extremely confident in her own analysis.

Hearing these words, the trace of joy that had just risen in Lin Shu disappeared completely. She said irritably, “Why are you so certain?”

“A woman’s intuition,” Ni Shuang said mysteriously.

Lin Shu did not want to chat anymore and said coldly, “I still have work to be busy with.”

“What time are you working overtime until today?” Ni Shuang asked immediately, her eyes carrying a look of excitement.

“Don’t know, I’ll go back when I’m done. Not talking anymore, I need to get busy.” After Lin Shu finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Ni Shuang looked at the screen that had gone dark, revealing a smug and bewitching smile.

She stood up, changed into a sexy long dress, admired herself carefully in front of the mirror, and went out twisting her slender waist with satisfaction.


Shen Man got off work on time and drove back.

She parked the car downstairs. Just as she got out of the car, she saw an enchanting figure standing at the entrance of the stairwell.

Sunlight spilled onto that charming face, unexpectedly adding a hazy sense of pure beauty.

“Shen-jiejie, you finally came back.” Ni Shuang turned her head, smiling with delight.

She hugged her chest tightly with both hands, making the career line4 on her chest even more prominent.

Shen Man swept a glance over it, then moved her gaze away.

She said with some doubt, “Shushu told me you were eating dinner at the hotel today.”

“How can the hotel’s food be as fragrant as Shen-jiejie’s cooking?” Ni Shuang said, softening her voice.

Twisting her waist, she slowly walked toward Shen Man, her face hanging with her most confident seductive smile. “Shen-jiejie wouldn’t not welcome me, right?”

“You are Shushu’s friend, how could I not welcome you?” Shen Man said with a smile, lifting her foot to go up the stairs.

Ni Shuang was walking down. Suddenly, her footing was unstable, and her body fell toward Shen Man’s direction.

Shen Man thought briefly, reached out to catch Ni Shuang, and said softly, “Be a little careful.”

“Thank you, Shen-jiejie.” Ni Shuang gave a shy smile, followed by linking arms with Shen Man, and said in a voice dripping with delicateness, “These high heels don’t fit my feet very well. Can you support me going up?”

Shen Man clearly felt the softness at her elbow. She did not dodge or avoid, saying with a natural expression as if she hadn’t perceived it, “Okay, I will support you.”

After she finished speaking, she extracted her own hand and seriously supported Ni Shuang’s arm.

The distance between the two was instantly pulled apart.

Ni Shuang was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to get closer.

But looking at those eyes smiling with gentle shallowness, she restrained herself.

Arriving in front of the door, Shen Man let go of Ni Shuang, opened the door, and said, “You change a pair of shoes first.”

“Okay, Shen-jiejie.” Ni Shuang revealed a sweet smile, bending her body to change shoes.

Due to this movement, the dress hiked up, perfectly exposing a pair of slender, straight big white legs.

Shen Man did not look sideways, looking at her own feet.

After changing shoes, they walked toward the living room.

Ni Shuang heard the footsteps and curled her lips in disappointment.

She hurriedly chased up, revealing a sweet smile, and said, “Shen-jiejie, do you want me to help you as an assistant?”

“No need, you just sit and rest,” Shen Man said softly.

She put on an apron and took out the vegetables to be cooked tonight from the refrigerator.

Ni Shuang saw this and immediately thought of the feeling of being choked yesterday; her throat couldn’t help but feel a sensation of emitting fire.

She swallowed her saliva, asking with a charming smile, “Shen-jiejie, why are there no green vegetables today?”

“Shushu’s appetite isn’t too good today. She said she didn’t want to eat green vegetables, and didn’t want to drink soup, asking me to make more spicy dishes for her to eat,” Shen Man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ni Shuang furrowed her brows.

Lin Shu told her it was Shen Man who wanted to make spicy dishes, and now Shen Man told her this was Lin Shu’s idea.

Between these two people, there was definitely one person lying.

Ni Shuang did not point it out and obediently sat on top of the sofa.

She crossed her legs, exposing her slender and fair thigh.

She picked up the water on the table, glanced at the kitchen, and splashed the water onto her own body.

The water, carrying a chill, wet the front of her chest; beads of water flowed down along her breasts one by one.

Ni Shuang smiled with satisfaction and threw the cup onto the floor.

Bang! The cup shattered, emitting a huge sound.

Shen Man heard the noise, came out from the kitchen, and asked with concern, “What happened?”

“Shen-jiejie, I accidentally broke the cup, the water splashed all over my clothes.” Ni Shuang pursed her red lips, speaking aggrievedly.

She deliberately stuck out her chest, letting Shen Man see the place that had been wetted.

The texture of the clothes she wore was light and thin; after being wetted by water, it revealed the skin hidden underneath.

Shen Man could clearly see a patch of snow-white skin, and even the crystal-clear water beads on top of it.
