Now that the misunderstanding and the knots in their hearts had finally been untangled, the two held each other tightly in the old mansion’s garden.
After holding each other for a long while, they prepared to head back. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. No wonder, when they had stepped out earlier, the starry night sky had been devoid of even a single star—it was the prelude to rain.
At the moment, the car was parked outside the garden. Afraid that Ye Xixi would get drenched, Lu Peishen quickly grabbed her hand and led her out. But no matter how fast they walked, it couldn’t match the speed of the downpour.
Within seconds, raindrops began to pour from the night sky like beans, pelting both of them relentlessly. It was impractical to call Shao Bai for an umbrella now. Without a second thought, Lu Peishen took off his suit jacket and draped it over Ye Xixi’s head to shield her.
Covering her, he held her close and strode with his long legs toward the garden exit. Finally reaching the car, they found Shao Bai already waiting with an umbrella. Spotting Lu Peishen and Ye Xixi, Shao Bai hurriedly held the umbrella over Lu Peishen, who was already soaked to the bone.
“President Lu, I’m sorry I didn’t find you right away,” Shao Bai apologized guiltily. Getting himself wet was one thing, but if President Lu fell ill because of this, what would he do?
“Enough talk, get in the car,” Lu Peishen cut him off, not in the mood for chit-chat. He instructed Shao Bai to open the rear door, then bent down and carried Ye Xixi inside.
Once they were safely enclosed in the car, Lu Peishen pulled the suit jacket off Ye Xixi’s head. Ignoring his own drenched state, he reached out to feel her hair, making sure not a strand was wet before he relaxed.
“Once we’re back, have Aunt Fang brew some ginger soup. You’ll have a bowl,” Lu Peishen said, withdrawing his hand.
Ye Xixi hadn’t gotten wet at all, so whether she drank it or not didn’t matter. But Lu Peishen was soaked through—he was the one who needed it most.
“Uncle Lu, I’m fine. You protected me perfectly. It’s just… you’re all wet,” Ye Xixi said with concern, already searching for tissues. Finding a large pack of napkins behind the seat, she pulled out a dozen white ones and began gently wiping the water droplets from him.
Underneath, he wore a white shirt that was now completely soaked, faintly revealing the skin beneath. It was overwhelmingly sexy. As Ye Xixi wiped him, she caught a glimpse and nearly had a nosebleed on the spot. Ugh, how awful—what was she thinking, getting all flustered and sneaking peeks at Uncle Lu’s wet shirt appeal at a time like this? No, no, she couldn’t keep staring. Uncle Lu had gotten drenched protecting her.
Ye Xixi struggled to refocus her thoughts. Once she had calmed down, she let out a soft sigh and asked tenderly, “Uncle Lu, are you cold?”
“Not cold,” Lu Peishen replied with a slight smile, then glanced down at his soaked shirt. “Xixi, could you do me a favor?”
“Uncle Lu, just say the word.” If she could help, she’d go through fire and water for Lu Peishen without hesitation!!!
“What is it?”
Lu Peishen feigned calmness, his voice clear and composed. “Well… could you help me unbutton my shirt? My hands are too wet to manage. It’s soaked.”
Huh??? Ye Xixi froze, then her ears instantly burned like fiery clouds. Cough, cough—was Uncle Lu trying to seduce her??? What should she do? She was going to get a nosebleed.
Just as Ye Xixi was blushing and hesitating shyly, Lu Peishen curled the corners of his lips and spoke in a low voice: “Is it okay?”
“Xixi, could you help me?”
It was rare for Lu Peishen to be so clingy when asking for a favor.
This startled Shao Bai, who was driving in the front.
Holy crap, what did he just hear???
His usually cold and aloof boss was actually using such a little trick to seduce the young madam?
Fortunately, the young madam was naive.
She was easily fooled; if it were a scheming woman, she probably wouldn’t have fallen for it.
Shao Bai suddenly wondered if his President Lu had liked the young madam all along? Otherwise, why would he insist on marrying her as soon as he found out it was her that day?
But this was for the best.
President Lu was the epitome of a domineering CEO and also the king of their Wolf Clan. When he loved someone, his loyalty was one hundred percent.
Shao Bai himself was actually a young wolf too.
But his rank was very low, as he was a hybrid.
┭┮﹏┭┮, not a pure Blue-blooded breed.
Just as Shao Bai was secretly happy for Ye Xixi and President Lu, Ye [Naive] Xixi really foolishly agreed with a blush: “Ah… that… of course it’s okay.”
“Uncle Lu, then sit still, and I’ll help you.” After saying this, Ye Xixi turned sideways, obediently and gently leaned close to Lu Peishen, and began to unbutton his damp shirt.
One by one, she unbuttoned it all the way to the bottom.
The shirt was completely open.
Inside, his perfectly sculpted chest muscles, abs, and even the mermaid line were all fully exposed.
Originally, Ye Xixi could hold back her nosebleed.
But now… she completely lost control.
Just like a heavy period, it flowed uncontrollably.
Drop by drop, it all landed on Lu Peishen’s abs.
When Ye Xixi saw this, she was so embarrassed she wished she could burrow into a hole, and she quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe it away.
But Lu Peishen didn’t mind at all; in fact, he even wanted to lick away this blood that belonged to Xixi.
However, afraid of scaring her,
He restrained his Wolf Clan instincts, suppressing the beastly, bloodthirsty urges in his heart.
His gaze deeply suppressed, he watched as the blushing girl, nose bleeding, wiped away the bloodstains on his chest and abs.
Once it was cleaned up, Lu Peishen took off the wet white shirt.
Suddenly, he straightened up, catching her off guard,
And embraced Ye Xixi, lowering his head to kiss her lips. As he kissed, a faint, flickering blue light shone uncontrollably in his eyes.
The light was very weak.
But it pulsed with life.
Lu Peishen kissed her intoxicatedly, subtly licking away all the blood that had dripped from the tip of her nose.
Once it was clean, the blue in his eyes instantly faded.
But Ye Xixi was so embarrassed her whole body went weak, her voice as soft as cotton: “Uncle Lu, my nosebleed is dirty… you…”
“I don’t mind.” Lu Peishen reached out and gently wiped her swollen lips, his voice tender: “I cherish everything about Xixi.”
These words… were a hundred percent more impactful than any sweet talk.
Ye Xixi’s heart raced uncontrollably.
It was so embarrassing.
Uncle Lu had learned too, quietly making small moves that left her dizzy.
“No, it’s still dirty.” Ye Xixi didn’t want him to lick her nosebleed anymore, whining softly: “Uncle Lu, you’re the best… person.”
“Don’t lick next time, okay?”
Lu Peishen smiled: “Okay.”
But not licking was impossible; he liked it.
It was the Wolf Clan’s nature.
To lick the one he loved.
So next time, he would just secretly kiss and lick his little pregnant wife in his arms.

When they returned to the villa, the heavy rain had stopped.
After getting out of the car, Shao Bai went ahead of them to instruct Aunt Fang to prepare ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Lu Peishen held Ye Xixi’s hand and said, “Xixi, I’ll go upstairs first to take a shower.”
“You should take a shower too, so you don’t catch a cold.”
Ye Xixi blinked, her pink lips unable to suppress a smile. “Okay.”
After today, would she and Uncle Lu be able to love each other unreservedly?
Just thinking about it made Ye Xixi happy.
“Are you very happy today?” Lu Peishen led her upstairs to shower. Seeing the young girl biting her lip and smiling shyly, he couldn’t help but ask softly.
Ye Xixi nodded, turning sideways with starlight shining in her eyes. “Yes, because from now on I can date Uncle Lu. Are you happy too, Uncle Lu?”
“Happy.” Lu Peishen’s gaze deepened. “Coincidentally, in my 28 years of life, I’ve never been in a relationship before. Xixi, shall we experience this together?”
Ye Xixi had no objections. “Okay.”
“Uncle Lu, we’ve reached my room. I’ll go take my shower now.” Unconsciously, they had already arrived at the second-floor corridor.
As Ye Xixi was about to enter her room to shower,
Lu Peishen glanced at the room and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. “Xixi, now that we’re at this point… I suppose I can move in and sleep with you, right?”
