Chapter 170


    Upon entering, X led Stanley upstairs and pushed open the door of the first bedroom. It was just


    as extravagant as the first floor.


    French windows upied an entire wall of the room. And there were many other glorious features,


    such as arge open balcony, afortable king-size bed, arge closet that upied another


    wall, a high-end desktop, and more.


    The bedsheet and pillow covers were a dark blue color—this color coordination made the room feel


    grander and ssier.


    “How is it? Do you like it? I picked out the bed covers for youst night. They’re all new. If you don’t


    like the colors, you can switch it out. There are many other sets in the closet. I moved theputer


    over from next door. It has the best specs configuration. If you like to y games, it’ll definitely give


    you a whole new gaming experience,” said X.


    “Yeah, I like it,” said Stanley faintly. He could tell that she had put a lot of effort into decorating the


    room.


    “That’s good then. That’s the toilet. It’s linked with the bathroom,” X added, pointing to the


    washroom.


    “Okay.”


    X gestured to the right with her thumb. “My room is beside yours. If there’s anything you need,


    you cane and look for me.”


    Stanley’s eyes remained emotionless. “Okay.”


    “Since we’ll be living together from now on, there are a few things I’d like to brief you on. Come and


    sit down.”


    As she spoke, X casually sat on the sofa beside the french window. Stanley said nothing, but


    walked calmly over to the sofa opposite her and sat down, keeping quiet as he waited for her to


    speak.


    One by one, Xid out the ground rules of their cohabitation.


    “While we’re living together, we don’t get involved with each other, and we do not disturb each other


    unless necessary. You can think of our rtionship as that of friends staying in the same hotel.


    “If you have any problems, you can look for me and I’ll try to help if I can.


    “I hope you won’t bring strangers over because I don’t like that.


    “You can use everything in the house but remember to put them back in their ce after you’re


    done.”


    X exined everything in a serious manner, while Stanley listened carefully without saying a


    word. These requests were reasonable, so he could ept them.


    “You can ept these, right?” asked X.


    “Yeah.” As usual, he was a man of few words.


    “Is there anything you’d like to add? If you have any requests of me, you can bring it up,” X


    asked patiently.


    “I don’t have any requests of you,” replied Stanley.

    X continued, “Alright then. We’ll keep living together under this agreement for a year, until I’ve


    fulfilled my three-year agreement with my master, and sessfully divorced that husband of mine.”


    “Aren’t you curious about your husband?” asked Stanley, intrigued.


    “Previously, after I got married, I would sometimes be curious about how he looked, and wondered


    why this guy was reluctant to show his face from the moment we got our marriage certification until


    now.


    “Even if he wasn’t interested in me, he didn’t have to hide his face from me, right? We could have


    openly discussed things. In fact, I’ve even considered that he might be a disabled person. That he


    was blind, deaf, mute, and immobile, so he can’t meet me.


    “Or, perhaps he was exceptionally ugly, so he didn’t have the courage to meet anybody. Or maybe,


    he’satose, so he married me trying to counter the bad luck. But it ended up fruitless, so he’s


    still in bed,” X analyzed thoughtfully.


    Stanley was speechless. This woman had a great imagination.
