He sounded extremely sincere; the bet seemed to have no issues at all.
An Ruo thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I agree to your bet."
The man’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, and seeing his smile, she couldn’t help but suspect that he might be up to something.
But having agreed, she had no room to back out.
Since the villa had no ropes, Tang Yuchen suggested using something else instead. An Ruo thought of neckties and brought many of his neckties to use as ropes.
Tang Yuchen lay obediently on the bed, his expression relaxed, as if waiting for her to tie him up any way she wanted.
An Ruo didn’t hold back, using three neckties to bind his hands to the bedposts, and she tied all the knots tightly. She also tied his legs to the foot of the bed, with equally tight knots.
She put her full effort into each tight knot; even if she had to untie them one by one, it would take a lot of time.
Seeing her working furiously, the man laughed teasingly, "Baby, you don’t need to use so much force. Even if you gave me an hour, I couldn’t get through all these knots, so don’t worry."
An Ruo glanced at him, and hearing him say that only made her more uneasy.
If he couldn’t untie them, why did he still look so relaxed?
Feeling uneasy, she grabbed a few more neckties and started over.
Throughout the process, the man cooperated fully, letting her do as she wished.
Honestly, tying up Tang Yuchen gave her a sense of thrill, as if she had finally seized the chance to vent her anger.
After a busy half hour, she finally had him firmly bound and stopped, triumphantly telling him, "The timing starts now. Try to untie yourself. If you can’t do it in five minutes, you lose!"
He would definitely lose; she was waiting for it.
The woman’s eyes filled with confidence and pride, sparkling like a proud little animal. The man just watched her and smiled, making no effort to free himself.
"Are you that confident you’ll win?" he raised an eyebrow and asked her.
An Ruo didn’t waste words with him, responding simply, "You’ve got four minutes and thirty seconds left."
"Baby, don’t cry when I win," he teased.
"Do you think you can win, Tang Yuchen? If you can’t get free, I won’t help you either. Unless you free yourself, you’ll just stay tied up forever!"
An Ruo grew more delighted as she thought about it; she felt so vindicated. Tang Yuchen finally had his day—haha, it was all his own doing!
"You seem too happy too soon," Tang Yuchen still didn’t move but kept making casual conversation with her.
An Ruo sat down on the couch, holding a stopwatch, her eyes glued to it.
Let him waste his breath talking; the more he talked, the better.
With only two and a half minutes left, even if Tang Yuchen had ten hands, he wouldn’t be able to untie all the knots.
"Hiss—" An Ruo was reveling in her thoughts when suddenly, she heard the sound of fabric tearing.
She looked up in shock to see Tang Yuchen forcefully pulling his wrists apart, tearing the five neckties wrapped around his wrists!
"Hiss—" The sound of the neckties tearing was frightening.
With one final effort, all five neckties snapped!
The man looked at her devilishly, raising an eyebrow to ask, "How much time is left?"
An Ruo stared blankly at her watch. Two minutes left...
He had just torn five neckties in half a minute!
"Baby, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you." Tang Yuchen gave a wicked smile, and his strong hands grabbed the neckties on his ankles and tore them off in a few movements.
