The most important thing is not letting her brother know.
We’ll talk about it when their relationship stabilizes~
Xie Guanlan remained coldly indifferent: “No.”
Xie Guanlan didn’t want her to be a secret lover.
The little princess shouldn’t suffer such unfair treatment.
Yin Shujun’s words made sense, so he should first resolve his family matters properly, rather than letting her take risks.
Yin Shuyang’s beautiful little face visibly showed unhappiness, pouting sadly and shedding tears pitifully.
The phrases she had learned before now manifested vividly on her face—tears like pear blossoms, heartbreakingly pitiful, tenderly moving~
Xie Guanlan’s heart also tightened painfully. “It’s unfair to you.”
“I really don’t know what’s going on in your head. I want you, I don’t want fairness! What do I need fairness for, what use is it? I just want to be with you~” Yin Shuyang leaned closer to his face, her warm breath landing on his cheek, speaking softly and tenderly, “If you don’t want to be with me, why did you let me kiss you earlier? Xie Guanlan, you’re actually a scumbag!”
“Yes, I am a scumbag.”
To avoid being with her, he even disparaged himself.
Xie Guanlan, you’re really impressive.
Truly impressive.
“If you don’t want to be with me, then we won’t!” Yin Shuyang released him.
She grabbed the thin blanket and covered herself completely.
“Don’t sleep on the sofa.”
“You’re not my boyfriend, you have no right to tell me what to do. I’ll sleep wherever I want.” Yin Shuyang was about to cry.
Manman was right—you have to play coy, be distant then close, you can’t always be the one chasing.
Stinky men never appreciate anything!
Wuwuwu…
Although she cried softly and was hidden under the blanket, Xie Guanlan still heard her.
He sat on the sofa, slowly pulling the blanket off her. Her smooth hair became tousled, whimpering as tears flowed from the corners of her eyes down her face.
“Should I carry you?”
“No! Don’t bother me…” Yin Shuyang cried intermittently.
“Only a boyfriend can bother you?”
“Yes!”
Yin Shuyang’s little milk-like voice burst out, looking at him with damp eyes, her watery gaze unable to hide her anticipation.
If this method could make Xie Guanlan agree to be with her, she wouldn’t mind.
The little kitten’s temper was quite stubborn, only obedient when kissed and hugged.
Xie Guanlan’s breathing deepened slightly. The little kitten’s head nudged against his leg, resting on his thigh.
One moment saying she didn’t want him to bother her, the next moment pressing her head against his leg, burying her little face against his waist, then starting to whimper again, hugging his waist and crying pitifully.
Xie Guanlan gently stroked her hair. “Even without being together, I let you kiss me.”
Yin Shuyang sniffled intermittently. “So, um, you just don’t want to take responsibility~”
“No status, you want to be my hookup buddy!”
“Then I’ll have to see if you qualify, if your skills are good…”
Xie Guanlan’s forehead veins twitched. Are egg-bearers’ thoughts always so active?
He didn’t know if his skills were good—he hadn’t done it before.
His assets were decent, skills could be practiced.
Yin Shuyang’s eyes were misty, but looking at Xie Guanlan like this, she actually hoped he would kiss her.
“Don’t be a hookup buddy. Girls should protect themselves.” Xie Guanlan whispered.
“But you’re tempting me~”
Xie Guanlan’s hand instantly withdrew from her head. Who exactly was tempting whom?
She kept burrowing into his embrace, and now she was pressing her head against his thigh. If it weren’t for his usual strong self-control, he might have already stripped her clothes off.
“Get up.”
Turning cold after the intimacy.
Xie Guanlan, you’re so mean!
Yin Shuyang got up, then sat on his lap again, facing him and wrapping her arms around his neck. “Weren’t you going to carry me to the room~”
Giving him the chance to hold her.
Xie Guanlan didn’t touch her. He stood up and leisurely walked toward the guest room!
“I’m going to fall off, hold me tight~”
“Xie Guanlan~”
Yin Shuyang tightly wrapped her legs around his waist. “Aren’t you uncomfortable, covering your ears to steal the bell, trying to hide what’s obvious?”
“You can relax and let go in front of me. Even if you have a second personality, it’s okay~”
Yin Shuyang’s voice was soft and sweet, and her usually cold expression, which had already melted during the kiss, still looked incredibly sexy.
At the doorway of the guest room, Xie Guanlan held her as she was about to slip down, his palm supporting her bottom. “I’m not holding back that much.”
If he were truly holding back completely, he wouldn’t have kissed her.
She asked gently, “So, do you feel comfortable being with me?”
Xie Guanlan gave only a simple reply, “Mm.”
Yin Shuyang snuggled close to him, resting her chin on his shoulder. “Me too, I really love being with you!”
“Brother doesn’t understand. He thinks my feelings for you are just a passing interest, but that’s not true at all. I like you, the kind of liking where I want to spend my whole life with you.”
Her heart had never been so sincere before.
It was almost as if she wanted to lay it bare for Xie Guanlan to see.
Xie Guanlan suddenly felt the little kitten pressing against him grow heavier. It had been a long, long time since he had been this intimate with anyone. He had always been tense, never daring to let his guard down.
His life was always high-pressure, but she was different.
She could live freely and brightly as the cherished pearl of the family, loved and doted on by everyone, with the entire family revolving around her. Aside from loving him, the Yin family would let her do whatever she wanted.
Xie Guanlan hoped she could continue living as she pleased in the future, but now it seemed she was trapped by him.
He gently stroked her back. “I know.”
“You don’t know, what do you know…”
“You only know how to reject me, give me the cold shoulder. Wuwuwu, I’ve never been treated with such coldness by anyone before…”
“Do you know how special you are?”
“I probably do.” Xie Guanlan tried to put her down, but Yin Shuyang clung to his waist, refusing to let go.
“I won’t let go—” Yin Shuyang tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Xie Guanlan took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling in his heart. “If you don’t let go, do you want me to hold you while you sleep?”
“That wouldn’t be so bad…”
“Yin Shuyang.” His voice rose slightly.
“Why are you being so mean~”
Wuwuwu…
Yin Shuyang pretended to cry, acting as if she were frightened by him.
Xie Guanlan didn’t dare to sleep with her, afraid he might do something to her.
And yet he still claimed he had no thoughts about her.
“I’m not being mean to you.” Xie Guanlan sighed helplessly as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Yin Shuyang clung to him, pushing him down onto the bed.
He fell back, feeling as if he were being forced into submission.
Xie Guanlan gripped her waist with both hands. “Don’t mess around.”
“What counts as messing around?” Yin Shuyang caressed his face. “I don’t understand~”
She was definitely messing around right now.
But Xie Guanlan tolerated it, letting her have her way.
“Xie Guanlan, how come you’re so good-looking? Even from my angle, you look perfect.” Yin Shuyang leaned in gently, her voice soft. “It’s all because you’re too handsome that I fell in love with you at first sight.”
“You only like my face?”
“No way, you wouldn’t want to disfigure yourself, would you? Just to stop me from liking you, there’s no need for that! Don’t hurt yourself~”
Xie Guanlan truly didn’t understand Yin Shuyang’s logic. That wasn’t what he meant, nor did he intend to disfigure himself.
“What I meant was, if you meet someone even better-looking in the future, will you shift your affections and fall in love with them at first sight?”
