As Cheng Xiaofan stepped into the villa's courtyard, a clear, stern female voice called out, "Stop right there. Are you truly Freerank?"
Cheng Xiaofan froze.
Who was this?
She recognized him as an imposter at first glance?
He crossed his arms and slowly turned his gaze towards the source of the voice.
About ten meters away stood a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beauty.
The woman looked under thirty, exuding a potent aura of both sexiness and dominance. From a certain angle, she was brimming with femininity, yet possessed a wildness like a female overlord.
It could be said that this was not a woman easily conquered by ordinary men.
Cheng Xiaofan could tell at a glance that this woman was Freerank's wife – Elalise!
Judging from Elalise's complexion, the premium joy-inducing wine Freerank had brought back from him must have all been consumed by her.
The beauty-enhancing effects of the premium joy-inducing wine were indeed quite remarkable.
However, what puzzled Cheng Xiaofan was that, based on Elalise's aura, despite being married to Freerank for many years, she was still a virgin.
No way?
Was his perception mistaken?
One thing was undeniable: when Cheng Xiaofan first met Freerank in the back mountains, he had noticed his impotence in front of women.
They say Western women are wild.
Given her husband's inadequacy, Elalise should have long since strayed and cheated with other men.
He hadn't expected her to remain so chaste.
"My dear Elalise, what did you mean by what you just said?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, feigning composure in the face of the woman's scrutiny.
Elalise's face was like frost as she said, "Have you forgotten the rules I set for you? Before returning home, you must seek my permission in advance, and only after receiving my consent can you come back."
"You're quite bold today, returning directly without even a call. What do you take me for?"
"Mr. Freerank, you've been too careless today. Normally, you would seek permission from your wife beforehand. How could you forget today?" the private nurse and driver whispered cautiously.
Damn!
There was such a thing?
This Freerank, who acted like a tyrant on the island, arrogant and overbearing, was completely suppressed by his wife at home?
"I apologize, Madam. Today, I was so angered by that Cheng Xiaofan that I completely forgot to seek your permission before returning home!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly put on a smile and said, "Please, Madam, do not be angry!"
Elalise glared at him and said, "Come inside and we'll talk!"
"Yes, Madam!" Cheng Xiaofan was speechless!
He thought, 'What kind of Madam are you to me!'
But, to get the key from her hands, he was currently posing as Freerank. No matter what she called him, what else could he be called?
Bang!
As they entered, Elalise casually closed the door.
"As usual, kneel down the moment you enter!" she said emotionlessly, arms crossed and chin raised.
"..." Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's eyes widened.
What kind of move was this, demanding a kneel upon entering?
Bitch!
Get it straight, I'm Cheng Xiaofan!
Only heaven, earth, and parents are worthy of my kneel. No matter what, it wouldn't be you!
His thoughts then turned to his purpose for being here, and Cheng Xiaofan's head began to spin.
"I'm sorry, Madam, Cheng Xiaofan repeatedly warned me that I must not kneel before you when I returned home today!" Cheng Xiaofan said, his eyes darting around.
Elalise's face flushed with anger as she roared, "This is a rule we established years ago. Are you daring to change it just because of Cheng Xiaofan's words?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately replied, "Cheng Xiaofan gave me the courage!"
"Madam, do you know why I was so enraged by him today? He actually saw at a glance that I'm incapable of being a man in front of you. Tell me, how humiliating is that!"
Elalise sneered, "Cheng Xiaofan is right. You were never a man to begin with. Talking about dignity, you're truly shameless!"
"Explain to me, how did Cheng Xiaofan know that you would kneel before me when you returned home?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately launched into his brand of plausible nonsense: "Cheng Xiaofan said he could tell from the aura emanating from me."
"I don't understand what 'aura' is, but he not only saw that I'm not a man in front of you, but also that I have to kneel every time I see you when I come home!"
"He also said that if I want to be a real man, I must first establish my authority as a man. I must stand tall in front of you, absolutely not kneel!"
"Otherwise, I will never be a man in front of you!"
"Madam, I hope you won't make things difficult for me anymore. I came back today to get the key from you. Cheng Xiaofan is on the island this time to help us brew the real joy-inducing wine, right?"
"Don't you love Cheng Xiaofan's premium joy-inducing wine very much? Now he needs the advanced equipment in the underground secret room. Please give me the key!"
Hearing this, Elalise's face finally showed a faint smile. "Freerank, I've always wanted to meet Cheng Xiaofan, this young man from China. I won't give you the key; I'll go to the island myself!"
"If Cheng Xiaofan wants the equipment from the underground secret room, I'll open the door for him!"
"He has always been my idol. I should take this opportunity to pay him a visit!"
"..." Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan was dumbfounded.
When did I become her idol?
If you go, won't I, the fake Freerank, be exposed?
He became anxious and said, "My dear Elalise, I'll take you to see Cheng Xiaofan another day, or I can even bring him to our home tonight."
"Give me the key now, Cheng Xiaofan is waiting for me on the island!"
"Silence!"
As soon as his words fell, Elalise flew into a rage. "Freerank, I didn't ask you to kneel to speak, have you become too conceited and are pushing your luck?"
"Have you forgotten the rule I set for you back then? If you want to take this key from my hand, you must first make me a woman from a maiden. Only then can it be possible!"
"As long as you lack that ability, you won't get the key from me for even a day."
Cheng Xiaofan was struck by lightning.
Is this Elalise a pervert? She even set such a rule with her husband?
Setting such a ridiculous rule, aren't you intentionally making things difficult for me, Cheng Xiaofan?
But!
It's not entirely Elalise's fault!
This rule was set for Freerank.
How could she have foreseen my appearance!
"Madam, please, I told you, Cheng Xiaofan is waiting on the island for the key I'm supposed to get!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a fawning smile.
"No, I said, I will personally open the door to the underground secret room for my idol!"
Elalise roared furiously, "If you don't have that man's ability, don't waste my time, get out of the way!"
"Elalise, you've gone too far!"
Cheng Xiaofan was truly desperate. "Don't keep saying I'm not a man. A man's dignity is not to be trampled upon by you. Believe it or not, I'll take you right here, right now!"
