“Ah—” The man's thousandth sigh echoed in the room, resembling a lament of helplessness.
The woman across from him remained unmoved, quietly sitting there, slowly sipping her sweet red tea with an air of elegance and composure.
The house that Yunran helped her find was indeed quite nice; it was not large but was arranged in a warm and cozy manner, with every corner exuding a sense of home.
Unfortunately, such a pleasant atmosphere was completely ruined by the noisy man beside her, as if a beautiful painting had been splattered with ink.
“Ah—” Seeing that Yu Xue still did not react, Fu Nantian sighed again, his voice filled with grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Yu Xue helplessly set down her cup and looked at Fu Nantian, who was increasingly resembling a nagging mother. Her tone was far from polite, and her gaze carried a hint of warning: “Try sighing one more time, and I swear I’ll make you a eunuch in a second!”
“You! You have the heart of the most venomous woman!” Fu Nantian exclaimed in exaggerated horror, covering his important parts and dramatically looking up at the ceiling, his face filled with fear as if he truly believed Yu Xue might act on her threat.
After a long pause, Fu Nantian finally said seriously, “Do you know? The news about the two sisters of the Yu Family fighting over the new business tycoon Ling Yunran has spread all over town.” His eyes revealed a trace of concern as he looked at Yu Xue, seemingly worried for her safety.
Yu Xue shrugged nonchalantly, her expression indifferent as if this matter had nothing to do with her: “So what?”
“Yu Xue…” Fu Nantian put away his usual playful demeanor, his tone carrying a hint of reproach and disappointment. “What you’re doing is foolish… Knowing that no matter what you do, you can’t earn your father’s care back, why bother…”
“I don’t regret it…” Yu Xue suddenly raised her head, her gaze firm and resolute. She could still feel a slight pain on her cheeks; it was the mark of her inner hurt.
She struggled to suppress the bitterness within her, her voice tinged with stubbornness: “At least this time he can acknowledge me as his daughter…”
The two fell into silence, the atmosphere in the room growing heavy as if the air itself had stopped moving. It wasn’t until Yu Xue’s phone rang that this stillness was broken.
“… Yes, I’m at home… A friend is here too… Okay, I’ll wait for you. Bye…”
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xue smiled at Fu Nantian, her smile carrying a hint of anticipation: “He’ll be here soon; I’ll introduce you.”
Fu Nantian sniffed disdainfully and said, “Who wants to meet him…” Yet deep down he was filled with curiosity and nervousness, wondering who this man was that mattered so much to Yu Xue.
“Hello, I’m Ling Yunran.” He walked into the room with steady steps, exuding an understated yet powerful aura that made him impossible to ignore.
Fu Nantian pursed his lips. Facing this handsome yet somber man before him, he silently encouraged himself: I must not lose, especially in front of Yu Xue! “Hello, I’m Fu Nantian.”
Fu Nantian also reached out, hurriedly adding, "I've grown up with Yu Xue since we were little..." His words carried a hint of emphasis, as if declaring his claim.
Ling Yunran's eyes darkened slightly, a flicker of displeasure crossing his gaze. He stretched out his long arm, pulling Yu Xue tightly into his embrace, the posture intimate and bold, unabashedly showcasing his possessiveness, seemingly for someone else's benefit.
Seeing this silent dismissal, Fu Nantian rolled his eyes. Though reluctant, he knew better than to overstay his welcome and took his leave, leaving the two inside to gaze at each other.
Once Fu Nantian's figure disappeared at the door, Ling Yunran finally relaxed his grip.
Yu Xue shook his arm playfully, a mischievous smile on her face as she shamelessly leaned in closer. "Hey, are you jealous?"
Ling Yunran immediately denied it, his expression serious as if stating a fact. "I just don't like people who act too frivolously."
Yu Xue continued to lean in closer, unconsciously settling herself on his lap. She adjusted his face with her hands, a sly smile in her eyes. "Still not admitting it..."
Ling Yunran looked at the woman sitting on him with amusement, his gaze filled with affection. "Do you realize that your behavior is a blatant suggestion?"
"And so what?" Though she spoke defiantly, her voice trembled slightly, betraying her inner tension and shyness.
"Then I won't hold back..." he murmured with a smile, his eyes burning with intense desire.
He took her hand, kissing each finger slowly and tenderly, as if handling a rare treasure.
Yu Xue gasped as an unfamiliar sensation coursed from her fingertips to her brain, causing her heart to race.
Her flushed face resembled a ripe peach—full and tempting—making one want to take a bite.
"Are you scared?" Ling Yunran asked softly as he observed her embarrassment, his voice low and gentle as if whispering in her ear.
"No... I'm not scared; I'm just not used to it..." Yu Xue stubbornly insisted, refusing to admit her nervousness and shyness. Her gaze wandered aimlessly, unable to meet Ling Yunran's eyes.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yunran suddenly leaned down and captured her lips. His tongue slipped in through a slight opening, relentlessly exploring as if trying to devour her.
It wasn't until she was nearly breathless from the kiss that her legs went weak and she leaned helplessly against Ling Yunran.
“Wait a moment—” Yu Xue pressed her hands against his chest, panting slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
“Wait for what?” He raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as if he were teasing her.
Determined, she pushed him down onto the sofa, tilting her head back with a resolute look in her eyes. “I’ll do it myself.”
“Oh really? Then how do you plan to start?” Ling Yunran lifted her delicate chin, amusement dancing in his eyes, filled with anticipation and curiosity.
“Well…” Yu Xue licked her dry lips with her pink tongue, her heart racing as if it might leap out of her throat.
Feeling his teasing gaze, a sense of defiance surged within her. Through their clothes, she could feel the warmth radiating from him, a heat that made her heart feel like it was about to ignite.
“What are you daydreaming about? If you don’t start soon, I might just take over.”
Ling Yunran couldn’t help but speak up, his voice laced with urgency and mockery.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Xue shot him an annoyed glare and commanded, “Shut up!”
Seeing her flustered expression, Ling Yunran finally stood up and turned the tables, pressing her back into the sofa. His dark eyes locked onto hers, filled with deep affection and focus. “How about I teach you first?”
With that, he leaned down and kissed her again…
