“Sister… Xiao Yuan likes you a little…”
“Is it only a little?”
The lighting in the room was somewhat dim and ambiguous, but Chu Yuan could still very clearly feel Yan Dai’s hand gently stroking her neck.
“I like you a lot. Xiao Yuan likes Sister a lot…”
“Since you like me so much, do you want Sister to kiss you?”
By this point, Chu Yuan’s face was already flushed crimson. How could she possibly withstand this kind of teasing? “Yes… I want to.”
Yan Dai leaned close to Chu Yuan’s ear, her voice frighteningly low and hoarse. “Then where do you want Sister to kiss you?”
Chu Yuan felt a bit self-conscious, but she couldn’t control the sudden surge of desire. “I… everywhere…”
Yan Dai couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Everywhere? Hmm?”
Chu Yuan closed her eyes and let out a soft “mm.” Her vision had grown blurry even before she shut her eyes. She softly called out, “Sister Yan…”
“Xiao Yuan,” Yan Dai called her name in return, her voice incredibly pleasant and tender.
Chu Yuan truly loved it so much. Yan Dai’s voice, her touch, everything about her.
Chu Yuan loved every single bit of it.
After a moment, Yan Dai didn’t seem satisfied with just this. Her hand began to wander further down…
And at this critical juncture, Chu Yuan very disappointingly snapped wide awake from her dream.
Whew… so it was a dream.
Ah!!! Why was it just a dream!
Upon realizing that her hard-won intimacy with Sister Yan, the woman she had fallen in love with at first sight, was nothing more than a dream, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of regret. Why had she been so useless? She should have kept sleeping to continue the dream.
While fully awake, Chu Yuan mentally filled in the rest of the plot that hadn’t happened in the dream, and in the end, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Lying in bed, she hugged her plushie and giggled to herself. After a moment of pure joy, she began to feel like she was being a bit of a little pervert.
Ever since she returned from seeing Yan Dai once at the family banquet, she had been completely distracted day and night, and she frequently dreamed of her.
Over the past few days, the frequency of Chu Yuan’s dreams about Yan Dai had risen to a terrifying degree, and the content of the dreams was becoming more and more explicit. At the very beginning, they were clearly just talking face to face, then they started holding hands, and now the scale had escalated all the way to…
Chu Yuan, oh Chu Yuan. Not only are you a person of color, but your mind is also completely filled with colorful, dirty thoughts.
But could this really be blamed on her alone?
It was all because Sister Yan’s personal charm was simply too powerful. Seeing her just once had caused Chu Yuan to lose control, leaving her completely infatuated and captivated day and night.
Chu Yuan giggled happily on the bed for a while longer before starting to bother Ji Xiran.
Chu Yuan: Sigh, how can my fiancée be so beautiful and elegant? She’s simply a goddess descended to earth.
Ji Xiran: Screw off.
Chu Yuan: How can you use profanity? That’s not right.
Ji Xiran: Your grandpappy’s ankles! Are you out of your mind? Do you even see what time it is? It’s 5:10 AM. The sun isn’t even up yet.
Chu Yuan: My grandpappy died a long time ago.
Ji Xiran: SCREW OFF!!
Chu Yuan: I miss my Sister Yan a little bit. When do you think she’ll come back from her business trip?
Ji Xiran: Do I need to remind you again? Spring hasn’t even arrived yet. Stop acting like a cat in heat. Stop being so boy crazy.
Chu Yuan: But I just miss my Sister Yan. Let me tell you, I actually dreamed of her just now. When I woke up and found out it was a dream, I couldn’t stop feeling regretful for ages. Sigh, why couldn’t I have dreamed just a little longer?
Chu Yuan: Sigh, you know, I’ve been dreaming about Sister Yan almost every day lately. Do you think Sister Yan dreams about me too?
Chu Yuan clearly remembered that when they met at the family banquet, Sister Yan was the one who greeted her first.
This proved that Sister Yan’s first impression of her wasn’t bad at all, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry her.
She had agreed to this arranged marriage because she liked Sister Yan.
Therefore, Sister Yan must think the same way. Even if the other woman’s current feelings couldn’t be described as love just yet, she must definitely have some good impressions.
The moment she thought of this, Chu Yuan couldn’t stop herself from vividly imagining her blissful future married life with Sister Yan.
And so, even before the sky was bright, Chu Yuan began a continuous bombardment of messages to Ji Xiran.
Ji Xiran hadn’t even fully woken up when she heard her phone on the nightstand vibrating like crazy.
Ji Xiran felt like she was about to explode. She didn’t even need to think to know it must be that fool Chu Yuan acting like a hopeless romantic again.
Ever since Chu Yuan met Yan Dai at the family banquet, she seemed to have become completely possessed.
Ji Xiran could already anticipate the exact words Chu Yuan would use to praise Yan Dai, she could practically recite them backward. Right now, she only felt a pounding headache from the noise, so she flipped her phone over and immediately blocked Chu Yuan.
On her end, Chu Yuan was happily chattering away, but instead of getting a reply, she was met with a glaring red exclamation mark.
That jerk Ji Xiran had actually blocked her!
However, Chu Yuan didn’t care at all about being blocked.
As expected, happy people are always easily envied and resented by others.
Chu Yuan put down her phone and lay spread-eagled on the bed. Whether her eyes were open or closed, she still couldn’t control herself from thinking about Yan Dai.
She thought of their very first meeting, and of every single smile and glance from Yan Dai.
The only regret was that since that family banquet, she and Yan Dai hadn’t met again.
Yan Dai’s work always seemed to be incredibly busy. Right after that single meeting at the banquet, she had gone out of town on a business trip.
Although their engagement had been officially settled at the banquet, during that brief, hurried meeting, she hadn’t even had the chance to have a deep conversation with Yan Dai.
They had to separate before they could even get to know each other properly, which was why Chu Yuan missed her so intensely.
As the saying goes, what you think about by day, you dream of by night. Her daytime thoughts were so consumed by her longing for Yan Dai that it was only natural to dream about her at night.
Not only did she constantly dream of her uncontrollably, but she also wasn’t satisfied with just that. She persistently harassed her friends, endlessly bragging about how wonderful her fiancée was.
The “victims” of her boasting included Ji Xiran, Xue Qinghuan, and several of her other close friends…
In short, every single friend around her had been subjected to her bragging.
It got to the point where her friends grew annoyed one by one by her noise. Ji Xiran told her to screw off without an ounce of hesitation, and her other friends were equally speechless, unanimously claiming she had come down with a severe case of “love sickness.”
How could they describe her feelings using such an unpleasant term? This was clearly a case of deep, unyielding devotion and the true direction of her heart.
Now that she had completely worn out all the friends she could bother, she began to plague her mothers at home.
Early in the morning, before she had even eaten breakfast after washing up, she went over to cling to her Mama, whining and acting spoiled. “Mama, oh Mama, you are so good to me.”
Chu Mingshuang looked at Chu Yuan, who was hanging onto her like an octopus, and smiled helplessly. “What is it? Clinging to Mama first thing in the morning. Your Mami and I aren’t even fully awake yet.”
“I like Sister Yan so much, hehe~” Chu Yuan acted spoiled. “Because I miss her a little, I can’t even sleep~”
Chu Mingshuang: She had already lost count of how many times Chu Yuan had said this to her during this period.
Every single day, it was “Sister Yan” this and “Sister Yan” that.
She didn’t even know when her daughter had been so thoroughly bewitched.
When they first decided on the marriage alliance with the Yan family, they had been worried that Chu Yuan would be dissatisfied with the arrangement and dislike her partner.
After all, Chu Yuan was their daughter, and they knew her well.
This girl had been raised under the doting care of her two mothers. She had been used to being carefree and unconstrained since childhood, so she definitely wouldn’t like a marriage arranged by her elders.
At the time, they had introduced them just to test the waters. No one expected her to fall so completely for the other party.
She was behaving exactly like a young girl experiencing her very first love.
Though before meeting Yan Dai, Chu Yuan hadn’t been entirely without dating experience and she had dated more than once, those were just typical school relationships where the other girls had pursued her.
Because she hung around Ji Xiran too much, she hadn’t taken romance very seriously at first. She had entered relationships in a daze and broken up just as half-heartedly.
To say she had no feelings at all wouldn’t be true, but it didn’t seem like any deep emotion existed either.
Chu Mingshuang and Liang Mi were actually aware of every one of Chu Yuan’s past relationships, but this time with Yan Dai, it was different.
Their precious daughter had truly fallen in love, and she genuinely liked the other woman.
Standing to the side, her Mami, Liang Mi, burst out laughing. “You miss your Sister Yan?”
“Yes, Mamī! Do you know where she went for her business trip and when she’ll be back?” The moment Sister Yan was mentioned, Chu Yuan’s eyes lit up with immense anticipation.
Chu Mingshuang couldn’t help but tease her. “What were you saying a few days ago? You were throwing a tantrum and throwing fits, completely unwilling to accept this marriage. Now look at you, two out of every three sentences are about your Sister Yan. It’s only been a few days since you last saw her, and you’re already missing her again.”
Ordinarily, when an elder teased someone like this, they would blush out of embarrassment. But Chu Yuan was no ordinary person. Hearing Chu Mingshuang’s words only encouraged her, making her even more enthusiastic.
Chu Yuan declared proudly, “That’s because she’s a great person! I love talking about her, I love her, and I miss her.”
Liang Mi smiled dotingly from the side. Knowing that her precious daughter’s heart was truly awakening to love, she felt it was a wonderful thing.
After all, Yan Dai possessed excellent professional capabilities and had a good character. Their family shared deep business collaborations with the Yan family, so they knew their background thoroughly. All in all, she was an exceptionally excellent marriage partner.
In families like theirs, alliances between wealthy households were highly necessary. A union between two powerful entities would undoubtedly bring more benefits than drawbacks to the future development of their companies and families.
Even though they didn’t absolutely require Chu Yuan to enter a marriage alliance for the sake of the family, if the two were mutually in love, then it was simply the best possible outcome.
Liang Mi even began to actively play matchmaker for them.
Liang Mi asked, “You two haven’t added each other on WeChat yet?”
Chu Yuan pulled a miserable face. “No.”
They had only met once, how could they have added each other’s WeChat so quickly?
Chu Mingshuang remarked, “We completely forgot. You should have added her the day you met.”
The reason they hadn’t brought it up actively was that this was a marriage between two young adults. They were only responsible for pulling the strings to let them meet; as for how the two handled their interactions, that was their own business.
Furthermore, they were both adults with their own independent thoughts, so why should the elders interfere too much?
Who could have known that even though the marriage was already settled, they still hadn’t added each other’s private contact information?
Liang Mi said, “I’ll ask Yan Wangshu to share the WeChat contact.”
Yan Wangshu? That’s Yan Dai’s mother!
Chu Yuan became overjoyed instantly. She shifted her posture to cling to Liang Mi like a sloth, kissing her while saying happily, “Mami, Mami, you are so good to me!”
Why had she been so foolish before?
She should have asked her mothers for Yan Dai’s WeChat much earlier. They definitely had a way to get it.
She had spent all this time pining away in vain.
But having the WeChat now was perfectly fine too; it wasn’t too late at all.
Liang Mi quickly obtained Yan Dai’s WeChat and forwarded the contact card to Chu Yuan.
Without a single moment of hesitation, Chu Yuan immediately sent a friend request to Yan Dai.
Adding her future wife’s WeChat was a matter of course!
However, what should she write for the friend request introduction?
Chu Yuan pondered silently for a good while before typing out:
【 Hello, Sister Yan. I am your fiancée, Xiao Yuan. 】
She even added a cute little cat emoticon at the end.
How cute, how precious!
When would Sister Yan notice her friend request?
