12 – How did we suddenly fall in love?
On the way back to Moonlight Manor, Zhao Gang was driving in front, glancing at the scene in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The top of his head instinctively tingled, and then…
He silently raised the partition.
He thought sourly to himself: Just yesterday, they were all single dogs, so how… did Fourth Master suddenly… abandon their single-dog squad and just fall in love out of nowhere?
In the back seat.
Ji Hanyuan held Tangtang as usual, his large hand occasionally stroking the girl’s soft cheeks, occasionally ruffling her fragrant hair, and occasionally caressing her slender waist…
His deep eyes were filled with contentment.
As if he had reached the peak of life.
His little soft candy was soft, fragrant, and felt incredibly good to the touch. He wished he could knead her all the time, never letting go!
Unconsciously…
Ji Hanyuan recalled the scene he had witnessed in the bathroom last night.
A ripe peach, glistening with morning dew, white tinged with pink…
Instantly, Ji Hanyuan’s gaze began to change, and the temperature around him started to rise.
Tangtang also seemed to have grown accustomed to Ji Hanyuan’s embrace, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her head resting against his chest, looking particularly dependent.
She habitually nuzzled against him, but unexpectedly heard Ji Hanyuan’s hoarse voice say, “Don’t move.”
Tangtang froze for a moment, instinctively looked up, blinked her crescent-moon eyes, and gazed innocently at Ji Hanyuan.
Her delicate, palm-sized face appeared right before his eyes, so close that he could almost see the fine down on her fair cheeks.
Tangtang’s skin was fair and tender, always flushed with a rosy hue.
Now, with this fine down, how was she any different from a peach?
It made one really want to…
Taste the sweet, juicy flavor.
Ji Hanyuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and he couldn’t help but… slowly lean down.
Sensing what Ji Hanyuan intended to do, Tangtang’s heart tightened, and her eyelashes fluttered.
Instinctively, she closed her eyes.
She was willing.
She was willing to kiss her brother.
Even to offer everything she had to him.
Just as Ji Hanyuan’s cool lips were about to touch Tangtang’s soft, red ones, suddenly, Zhao Gang slammed on the brakes, nearly throwing Tangtang forward.
Ji Hanyuan reacted instantly, reflexively shielding Tangtang’s head and holding her tightly in his arms.
His own back slammed heavily against the seat, but he didn’t let Tangtang get hurt in the slightest.
“Tangtang, are you okay? Are you hurt?” he asked nervously, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at the girl in his arms.
Tangtang bit her lip and shook her head.
Truthfully, she hadn’t yet recovered from the moment when she was about to kiss Ji Hanyuan, annoyed that such a perfect opportunity had been ruined. But afterward, she felt too shy to speak, so she remained silent for a moment.
However, in Ji Hanyuan’s eyes, his little Tangtang had been severely frightened, so scared that she couldn’t even speak!
Ji Hanyuan’s aura instantly turned icy, his deadly gaze shooting coldly toward Zhao Gang in the front seat.
Zhao Gang naturally sensed Ji Hanyuan’s anger and quickly lowered the partition, urgently explaining.
“I’m really sorry, Fourth Master! It was an emergency. A car suddenly appeared around the corner and stopped right in front of us. If I hadn’t braked hard, we would’ve crashed right into it!”
Ji Hanyuan frowned deeply, his cold gaze shifting forward.
Just as Zhao Gang had said, a bright red sports car was parked directly in front of their vehicle, blocking the way.
The sports car was outrageously flashy, not just in color but also in its various decorations.
The headlights were adorned with long, fluttering eyelashes and printed with red lips, while the rear of the car boldly featured a purple bikini.
It truly lived up to the old saying: red paired with purple is as ugly as dog shit!
Enough to show just how eccentric the owner of this car was!
Moreover, the two cars were extremely close.
If not for Zhao Gang’s quick reflexes, they might have already collided.
Clearly, the other party wasn’t just eccentric but also a reckless maniac!
He wanted to see just which bastard had the audacity to block his way!
With a “click,” the door of the flashy red sports car opened.
A woman dressed in a vibrant red dress, with purple voluminous waves for hair and wearing an exaggeratedly colorful pair of sunglasses, stepped out of the car.
She pushed the sunglasses up onto her head, curled her lips, and beckoned toward Ji Hanyuan’s car with her index finger.
“Get out.”
Her voice was utterly nonchalant.
Instantly, Tangtang, who was still nestled in Ji Hanyuan’s arms, froze.
For a moment, she felt that this voice was strangely familiar?
But the feeling was fleeting, and she still couldn’t recall anything.
Yet, she couldn’t help but glance toward the girl outside the car.
Zhao Gang turned to look at Ji Hanyuan and reported, “Fourth Master, I’m certain we’ve had no prior conflicts with this girl. However, she seems very much like Diao Diao from the Star-Moon Alliance.”
Rumors said that within the Star-Moon Alliance, there was a purple-haired woman named Diao Diao, enchanting in appearance, unrestrained in personality, and acting on whims without regard for rules.
Only the alliance leader of the Star-Moon Alliance, the Ruthless Demoness, could keep her in check.
And the woman before them also had purple hair and appeared utterly carefree.
Moreover… she dared to block their car.
For such a bold and audacious move, the only person Zhao Gang could think of was Diao Diao.
After hearing Zhao Gang’s analysis, Ji Hanyuan frowned slightly.
He and the Star-Moon Alliance had always kept to their own affairs. Why would this Diao Diao suddenly block his car?
Ji Hanyuan gently patted the little soft candy in his arms and leaned down to reassure her, “Tangtang, wait for me in the car, be good.”
With a “click,” Zhao Gang stepped out of the car first and respectfully opened the door for Ji Hanyuan.
A pair of polished leather shoes stepped out first, followed by a figure exuding noble aloofness—tall, imposing, and impossible to ignore.
Ji Hanyuan swept a cold glance at Diao Diao, lowered his gaze, and lightly adjusted the black jade thumb ring on his left thumb.
Just standing there, doing nothing, he resembled a king from ancient times surveying the world.
But Diao Diao wasn’t intimidated. Instead, she brazenly looked Ji Hanyuan up and down, resting her chin lazily in her hand while making a “tsk tsk tsk” sound.
“Fei Fei, see that?” She turned to the honest, burly man who had stepped out of the passenger seat. “The Fourth Master of the Ji Family really is a handsome man!”
Their boss had excellent taste!
Having seen countless men, Diao Diao could confidently say that Ji Hanyuan was top-tier!
Fei Fei walked over, saw Ji Hanyuan, and instinctively trembled.
Though he was tall and imposing, his courage starkly contrasted his appearance. Clearly afraid of Ji Hanyuan, he cautiously tugged at Diao Diao’s sleeve and whispered,
“Diao, don’t cause trouble. Let’s leave quickly…”
“The boss isn’t here. We can’t afford to provoke him…”
“Tch.” Diao Diao scoffed, giving Fei Fei a look that said “spineless.”
Their boss was about to become the Fourth Madam of the Ji Family—why would they still need to fear Fourth Master Ji?
Even with his formidable reputation, this Fourth Master Ji would likely find it hard to escape their boss’s charms!
After all, if it weren’t for the Ruthless Demoness’s fearsome reputation, their boss, when silent and not fighting, truly looked like a delicate little fairy!
In that case, if their boss really managed to win over Fourth Master Ji, then the Star-Moon Alliance’s plan to deal with the Cold-Faced Asura and his Frostlight Pavilion would be just around the corner!
