Chapter 1

Tonight's banquet was a great success.

A welcome and celebration reception was being held on the top floor of the Yangli Jewelry International headquarters.

Every year, the headquarters holds a review meeting to discuss the year's performance and profit
growth , and to propose serious topics such as the business strategy and expansion goals and plans for the coming year.

That evening, Yangli's regional managers in Taiwan, along with their first and second-level supervisors and
outstanding sales staff, were invited to a banquet specially hosted by the company to receive praise and rewards, thereby promoting good interaction
between regional managers and their employees.

The host of this banquet was, of course, Yangli's headquarters, and the host was naturally President Shen Tianqing.

Throughout the evening, attendees vied to shake hands with Shen Tianqing, trying to establish a relationship and going to great lengths to flatter him.
Although they wouldn't have achieved their current positions without merit, they didn't miss
any opportunity to curry favor. Gaining the president's favor and trust would guarantee their
limitless future.

For the women, Shen Tianqing wasn't just an admired president, but also their dream
long-term meal ticket. This meal ticket was a blank check, open to any amount,
inexhaustible and readily available.

This wasn't an exaggeration. Yang Li owned a jewelry production site in the South Pacific and
mines in Brazil and China, all under the names of Jiang Chengji and Shen Tianqing. Therefore, they were
considered top-tier, highly eligible bachelors.

Such wealth, coupled with outstanding looks and rich inner qualities, made them the object of every woman's pursuit
, with countless suitors throwing themselves at them. Because Jiang Chengji was already married and
deeply in love with his wife, many women who secretly harbored feelings for him were heartbroken. In their despair, they all pinned their remaining
dreams on the only remaining eligible bachelor.

Forget becoming Shen Tianqing's wife; even just being chosen by him as a companion would be an honor. He was always
generous and extremely gentle and considerate towards women. His gifts weren't money or credit cards,
but a year's worth of free delivery from Yangli Jewelry to his home. Anyone who took a liking to him could have priority access—a
privilege not easily attained.

However, Shen Tianqing always maintained an indifferent attitude towards women, so becoming
a passerby or partner in his life was extremely difficult.

But the harder it was to obtain, the more attractive the challenge became. It was understandable that they went to great lengths and
used every means to try and win him over, but given Shen Tianqing's attitude towards women,
everyone was confident, yet none were truly certain.

Among the three tigers, Shen Tianqing was the most gentle and shrewd social butterfly. Unlike Jiang Chengji, who was
cold, serious, unapproachable, and ruthless to women to the point of being almost hateful, Shen Tianqing was not like
Lin Ziyang, who was full of gloom and enjoyed lingering among women, playing love games. Lin Ziyang, for
example, only wanted to please him and get some money out of him;
no truly invest her feelings in him because he made it clear from the beginning that he was a player.

But Shen Tianqing's indifferent attitude towards women was even more enigmatic. On the surface, he always
wore a gentle, harmless smile, seemingly having deep friendships with every business associate, and of course
, he seemed to treat women the same way. However, the true situation remained hidden beneath his habitually gentle mask
.

However, every competitor who rivals him understands perfectly well that securing his cooperation is the best guarantee of
profit . To oppose him is like seeking a tiger's skin—a path to certain death. Therefore, unless
absolutely necessary, most people neither want nor dare to oppose him.

Even more strangely, the saying "There are no permanent friends or enemies in business"
doesn't apply to Shen Tianqing at all!

His smiling, tiger-like social skills allow him to thrive in the business world. No one
dares to disrespect him, let alone try to cooperate with this major investor.
Most importantly, he can easily mingle and drink with people, possessing an incredible
charisma , completely concealing any threat or domineering aura.

Because of this, even though they know that the man who heads an international jewelry company and manages the Senye
Group is no ordinary person, they are still irresistibly captivated by his gentle appearance.

However, the moment his opponents showed the slightest sign of weakness, this tiger would unleash its fury.

Even more surprisingly, each opponent accepted their defeat willingly, without complaint,
making a legend in the business world. He treated his business rivals with the utmost gentleness and friendliness,
leaving a deep impression on everyone with his shrewdness and social skills.

Yet, this smiling tiger, the most eye-catching and favored figure in social situations, began to grow
impatient . Although he maintained his usual friendly smile, a
subtle, imperceptible hint of impatience and disgust would occasionally flicker in his eyes.

Shen Tianqing knew something was very wrong. Since starting his business with Jiang Chengji and Lin Ziyang
, he had always enjoyed the interesting game of dealing with people and socializing. He considered these necessary
social interactions as one of his pleasures; observing all sorts of different human natures was
a truly fascinating activity for him.

However, when his two good friends found true love, he began to feel dissatisfied with the status quo.
He knew there was an emptiness in his heart that needed to be filled, but he truly didn't know who this "
someone " was.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery in his voice, looking at the beautiful women surrounding him, thinking, "Of course it can't be them
!" He knew perfectly well their motives for approaching him, and understood that they weren't bad people; it was just that no matter
how beautiful or well-behaved they were, they couldn't touch his heart.

He didn't know what kind of woman he wanted, or what kind of appearance he desired; he thought that when he encountered one, she should...
He would find out soon enough, but definitely not in these situations and with these people that were starting to bore him—he
was absolutely certain of that.

"Tianqing, want to come over for a couple of drinks later?" The speaker was
a representative from a company they had been working with for a long time, a shrewd and capable businesswoman—Lu Wenqi.

She was the successor of a second-generation entrepreneur, and due to work, they often came into contact, sometimes
attending banquets or having casual meals together—all perfectly natural.

Outsiders were quite interested in the ambiguous relationship between the two, and the female protagonist seemed to be deliberately
letting it run its course and exaggerating it. Furthermore, the male protagonist hadn't actively clarified things, so Lu Wenqi became
the top choice on Shen Tianqing's list of confidantes.

How could Shen Tianqing not understand her feelings? But before he could even speak,
someone had already made a sour remark to her.

"General Manager Lu, don't forget, tonight's party is our company's celebration, for
our employees. I just don't understand why you, an outsider, are
clinging ?" The woman who spoke was the Taichung district manager,
one of the women who had been flirting with Shen Tianqing since the morning meeting.

Lu Wenqi maintained her smile, but her eyes flashed with anger.

The two women's eyes clashed in an invisible battle, the terrifying killing intent causing Shen Tianqing to unconsciously
move . He knew perfectly well that if women were fighting, he, as a man, had better stay away. Even if
they wanted him, he wouldn't get involved, because taking either side would put him in a difficult position!

Besides, he had no intention of taking either side. In the past, perhaps he would have been more considerate,
saying nice things to both sides to appease them; but when he was struggling to control his own emotions
, he didn't have the time to deal with them!

Wherever he went, the same drama unfolded repeatedly before him.
They weren't tired of it, but he was about to go crazy.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He saw Li Zixuan, dressed in a white silk blouse and black suit
trousers , casually tossing her long tie over her shoulder, engrossed in eating a plate full of food, completely
oblivious to her surroundings. He couldn't help but laugh, striding towards her, leaving the two
women completely behind.

"Zixuan, what brings you here tonight? That's rare!"

Li Zixuan stopped what she was doing, glanced around the room, and glared fiercely at
the . She warned him, "Shen Tianqing, you'd better get that wicked hand off me right now!
If I die from the envious stares of all these women, I'll haunt you even in death!"

Her warning went completely unheard by Shen Tianqing; instead, he tightened his embrace around her.
Li Zixuan immediately heard a distinct gasp from a nearby woman, and someone glaring at her with hostility,
as if they intended to chop off her shoulder and feed it to the dogs.

Li Zixuan completely ignored it, busy eating and having no time for this popular but annoying man!

"Hehe! You wouldn't be that cruel, would you? For the sake of family, why don't you hurry up and
rescue your handsome, heaven-defying older brother from this misery? Otherwise, the world will lose a once-in-a-lifetime,
unparalleled handsome man!"

"Disgusting!" Li Zixuan almost vomited up the food she had just swallowed. She glared at him disdainfully
and said with disgust, "You lunatic, stay away from me! Do you even know what
nonsense you're spouting? People like you, a scourge of the world, are like that effeminate sissy; the world would be blessed if one less of

you existed." "What kind of attitude is that?" Shen Tianqing couldn't help but roll his eyes, tapping her on the head and saying with
displeasure , "Don't forget I'm your older brother. If you act so disrespectfully, I'll beat you up!"

"Stop trying to sound like family. Everyone who knows our family gossip knows that my mother and your mother
don't get along at all. The two wives are always vying for your affections, putting on a show of fighting over you, blaming each other,
and it happens at least once a week. It's disgusting to watch. Go home and tell your mother to
change tactics!"

"You should handle this suicidal thing yourself. I'm the one who wants your mother to come up with some other tricks. Stop playing the
weak and helpless role. It just looks weird."
How could someone who's usually so shrewd and rude suddenly become so pitiful? He really couldn't understand it.

"And what about your mother? She's always putting on that fierce woman act,
only . I can't stand those two disrespectful old women."

"You dare to insult them like that! Be careful they hear you and send you on blind dates." He deliberately threatened her.

"I think you're talking about yourself!" Finally full, she patted her stomach contentedly, put down her
knife and fork , and pulled Shen Tianqing's hand towards the study upstairs.

Shen Tianqing didn't resist, letting her lead him upstairs. "What? Why are you in such a hurry to pull me
upstairs ? Aren't you afraid of being stabbed by a thousand arrows by those women?" he teased deliberately.

Indeed, their intimate movements upstairs immediately drew whispers and stares from those around them.

Although he and Li Zixuan were half-siblings, few knew this fact, and their
open displays of affection in public inevitably led people to speculate that their relationship was more than just friendship.
However, no matter how much others guessed, they would never guess that they were actually family. Therefore, in the eyes of others,
Li Zixuan was one of Shen Tianqing's confidantes.

Li Zixuan didn't care about his teasing at all. Instead, she seriously brought up another matter, "I'm glad
you can still laugh. Our company is about to lose an outstanding chief jewelry designer. You
'd better carefully."

After entering the study, Li Zixuan stopped arguing with Shen Tianqing. Whenever there were work-related issues to deal with, she
was more serious and meticulous than most people. This was why she was
able without relying on her brother at all.

In the jewelry industry, no one dared to underestimate her. Her eccentric appearance, strong personality, and formidable abilities
made her stand out in the workplace.

Shen Tianqing sat comfortably in his swivel chair, stretching out his limbs. Upon hearing Li Zixuan's words, a glint of light flashed
in his eyes spoke, "You mean Guan Ruozi?"

"Yes!"

Guan Ruozi was the most sought-after, dazzling, and outstanding designer at Yangli Jewelry in recent years.
Almost every piece she designed caused a buying frenzy and became a trend, often creating
a sensation even before its official release. The name Guan Ruozi had become a top-tier trademark; regardless of her design,
even before seeing it, consumers held extremely high expectations and trust in her.

And each of her creations never failed to live up to expectations, being unique and exceptional, radiating
an intangible vitality. Consumers could feel her passion and effort in her work,
making more dazzling and breathtaking.

Therefore, even though Yangli has many outstanding designers who have earned the company a lot of money, none of them
can compare to Guan Ruozi's designs. Even he himself is always
awestruck .

This feeling often gives him an urge to get to know her, but his impulses are never as
important as his work.

Guan Ruozi was a designer signed by Li Zixuan. Li Zixuan's unique vision is
one of ; discovering and signing designers with foresight is a crucial task for the district manager, and she
excels in this area.

"What? In my memory, she's your good friend, isn't she?"

"That's right! It's just a pity I can't compare to that huge villa she designed herself. That lazybones,
once she's nestled in her 'jewel nest,' even an eight-man sedan chair wouldn't budge her an inch."

Her tone was full of disdain, causing Shen Tianqing to raise an eyebrow and ask doubtfully, "jewel
nest?"

Li Zixuan nodded affirmatively.

"Once you see the house she designed with your own eyes, you'll understand why I described it that way
."

"Why do I have to go?"

"Because you caused this mess, so of course you have to clean it up!"

"Me?" Strange? When did he cause this trouble? He had no recollection of it at all.

"Of course it was you! If you hadn't suddenly added a mandatory clause to the contract requiring each contracted designer to
create at a location designated by our company, Ruozi wouldn't have refused to sign the contract. Do you even know
how sought-after Ruozi is?" Li Zixuan glared fiercely at the pig-headed man in front of her. If it weren't for his idea,
would she be so troubled now?

"Ever since the news got out that Ruozi's contract expired and she hasn't signed a new one with us, I've almost
gone crazy!"

"Who leaked the news?"

"You idiot!" she couldn't help but yell, "You know, even if Ruozi signed a contract with us,
there are still plenty of shameless companies trying to poach her with hefty sums and excellent terms, let alone the fact that she hasn't even signed yet!"

Shen Tianqing didn't care about her outburst. He was already used to this girl's rudeness
; correcting her would be like talking to a brick wall. "I know Guan Ruozi's worth very well."

"So... what do you plan to do now?"

"What else can I do?" He shrugged, seemingly indifferent, "I'll visit her with the contract, and while I'm at it,
see why her place is called 'Pearl Nest'!"

In recent years, counterfeiting and other such incidents have been rampant, and he almost went crazy dealing with them every time. He added this rule to
ensure the safety of the company's designers' work. Since Guan Ruozi refused, he'd
just have to accommodate her!

Anyway, he had long wanted to meet this elusive chief designer, and this was a perfect
opportunity, wasn't it? Besides, he had never seen what a "pearl nest" was like; broadening his horizons would be a good
thing!

******************************

The car sped along the winding mountain road. Shen Tianqing gripped the handle tightly and
said to Li Zixuan in a serious tone, "Are you trying to get yourself killed! Can't you slow down?"

Good heavens! The mountain road was extremely winding and narrow, barely allowing two cars to pass each other. Li Zixuan was driving
like a madwoman, almost never braking at the bends, which finally made Shen Tianqing unable to hold back his curses.

Li Zixuan glared at him, continuing to drive as if nothing was wrong, and said to him unhappily, "If you're afraid
of dying, get out and walk!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Shen Tianqing only then realized how frighteningly angry she was, so he guessed,
"Could it be that your mothers said something to you when you got home last night?"

"Hmph! What's going on? I'm only twenty-five years old this year, and they're already arranging blind dates for me.
It's too much! Don't they realize you're thirty? It shouldn't be me being forced into marriage!" She
glared at him angrily, as if it were all his fault.

"I knew it! Why did you look like you were covered in poop today? So you were being forced into marriage." Shen Tianqing was only focused on
gloating , but he didn't expect that something would happen right after he finished speaking.

It turned out that Li Zixuan was a little annoyed by his detached and amused attitude, and in a fit of anger, she sped up the car, almost causing a
head with an oncoming car.

Shen Tianqing scolded her angrily, "Can't you stop playing with people's lives like this? If you really don't want to
marry me, I can help you find a way. Please, just be gentle and don't drive so fast anymore, okay?" He almost pleaded with her
at the end ; after all, she was his only beloved sister.
He really couldn't bear to scold her harshly.

His words swept away the gloom on Li Zixuan's face. "I knew my brother was the best to me!"

"Ah! Please drive carefully, that's dangerous! You crazy girl!" He was sweating profusely.

"Don't worry! My driving skills are excellent, la la la..." Li Zixuan drove, her mood gradually improving
. With her brother's assurance, what was there to worry about? He always managed to find a way to help her out of trouble;
and when she thought about meeting that effeminate man who was incompatible with her, she felt a
strange anticipation, involuntarily imagining the fun of bickering with him.

Tsk! She must have been driven to madness by the pressure to get married, actually missing out on her verbal sparring with that effeminate man.
A sword? She's really gone mad! Never mind, as long as I get my brother there, it's none of her business anymore.

In the blink of an eye, the car turned onto a narrow path that could only fit one car at a time. Tall trees on both sides blocked out
the sky, creating a cool atmosphere; the crisp chirping of birds echoed through the woods, the air was so fresh it didn't need an air purifier, and
the cool breeze that swept over us was refreshing and invigorating, even lifting my spirits.

"I never expected her to live in a place like this."

"Yeah! That lazy woman hates to move, she's even too lazy to go out. Living in a secluded
place like this is perfect for her."

"What!?" Shen Tianqing was really hard to believe. "She lives here all by herself?"

"Yeah!" Li Zixuan nodded, her thoughtful gaze quickly sweeping over her older brother
before she added, "Didn't I tell you? Ruozi hates being bothered or annoyed,
and she doesn't like going out. She'll only force herself to eat when she's starving."

"Then... if she's that lazy, where does she get her food?"

"Her younger brother takes care of everything! Anyway, if you have any questions, just look and ask."
Li Zixuan said, still looking at him with a probing gaze.

Shen Tianqing tapped her on the head, amused, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Brother, be honest! Are you interested in Ruozi?"

"That's right, I am indeed interested in her, and I want to pursue her."

His frankness surprised Li Zixuan, who then said to him, "Brother, aren't you afraid Ruozi
is actually an ugly girl?"

Among the designers in their company, only Guan Ruozi hadn't attached a photo, because she didn't have any recent photos,
was too lazy to take them, and certainly wouldn't have them printed. She rarely took photos, so she didn't have many. If she really had to show one
, that effeminate guy's photo might be enough to fill the gap—after all, they were twins!

That effeminate guy was the complete opposite of Guan Ruozi. Not only was he not lazy, but he was also a model of a good man,
capable of everything. He was practically an all-rounder in all the things women should learn: cooking, housework, sewing, etc., even she, as
a woman, admired him.

"I don't know either. Her work has already deeply attracted me. I don't know what she looks like, let
alone what her personality is like. I'm thinking of waiting until I meet her in person to decide!"

"But your desire to pursue her hasn't changed yet, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Brother, I can give you a little hint for now. Her appearance is definitely worth pursuing. Once you
meet her, I believe you won't let her go."

"Oh? When did you become so knowledgeable about your brother's taste in women?"

"Hmph!" Li Zixuan couldn't help but snort, "If you're not even moved by Ruozi, then you might as well prepare to
live a lonely life."

Judging from Li Zixuan's tone, it seemed that she had a very high opinion of Guan Ruozi, which made Shen Tianqing's curiosity about her even
stronger.

"By the way, what's with that sissy?"

"He..." The car stopped abruptly in the courtyard in front of a large villa. Li Zixuan's
eyes as she stared at a figure standing on the front porch. She said to Shen Tianqing, "That sissy is
waiting for us over there. Why don't you go and find out for yourself?"

She said this, but her movements were swift; she was the first to jump out of the car, making Shen Tianqing chuckle.

After getting out, he looked around and thought that this elegant and quiet place was truly a great
vacation spot!

He had a feeling he would be staying here for quite some time! However, his attention was
drawn to the conversation between Li Zixuan and that... if he wasn't mistaken, it was a man.

"Tomboy, what? You've missed me so much after only half a month? You couldn't wait to drive
here to see me?"

"Tch! You sissy, who came to see you? Stop being so vain."

"Tsk!" Guan Ruofeng couldn't help but shake his head, disagreeing, "A tomboy is a tomboy, so
rude, be careful no one will want you!" A hint of unnoticed doting flashed in his eyes.

Chapter Two:

Shen Tianqing saw a refined, handsome man. He exuded
elegance , and his every move possessed a sexy charm. His slender figure, fair skin, and thick
eyelashes blinked as he spoke, revealing endless allure. Coupled with his long, shiny black hair, he was even more handsome. No wonder Li Zixuan called him a sissy; he truly possessed a woman's charm and beauty, even surpassing the feminine beauty of

women .
Hearing no malice in his mocking tone towards Li Zixuan, Shen Tianqing
quickly interjected before she could erupt, "Even if no one wants her, there's always you, this sissy, who wants her, isn't there?"

This startling remark immediately drew the attention of the two about to clash.

Guan Ruofeng looked at him and saw a man of imposing presence, a gentle smile, and strikingly handsome features. Though seemingly harmless, he exuded an
air of extraordinary power.

"You want to talk to my older sister about the contract?"

"Is that alright?" Shen Tianqing could tell that beneath his seemingly refined exterior lay considerable
strength, so he spoke to him as a fellow man, unlike some superficial person who might underestimate him.

Guan Ruofeng thought to himself, this man, capable of becoming the general manager of Senye Group and the president of Yangli Jewelry Company, must possess
extraordinary abilities; seeing him today, he truly lived up to his reputation.

"If you can wake her up, I have no objection." His
helplessness was obvious. No one had the ability to wake Guan Ruozi from her deep sleep unless she naturally woke up
. Otherwise, even the earth shaking wouldn't disturb her.

"What?" The one yelling was Li Zixuan. She jumped in front of Guan Ruofeng, her slender finger pointing
right at his nose. "Ruozi is still sleeping, and you dare to wake me up?" she accused him fiercely.

Everyone knew that once Guan Ruozi fell asleep, unless she wanted to get up herself, no
one could wake her. She was still sleeping; how many centuries into the Republic of China were they going to wait? Was this
sissy trying to cause her trouble?

Guan Ruofeng watched her excitedly waving her fist in front of him, completely unconcerned, and even laughed heartily.
"What? You dare yell at me? Who was it that hurriedly said they were coming, and then hung up without waiting for
a reply... and now you have the nerve to yell at me?"

"Don't you have hands? Couldn't you call me back? Don't you have a brain? Didn't you think I'd make a wasted trip
? Shouldn't you have kindly informed me?"

"Oh! Tomboy, you guessed right. I'm a good person in every way, except I'm not kind, especially
to you. So I'm not telling you, what are you going to do about it? Bite me!"

Faced with this tomboy, even with his mature mind, he had to act childish, because
arguing was his pleasure. He wouldn't have the honor of arguing with anyone else!

Li Zixuan was almost driven mad by him. Without thinking, she lowered her head and bit his arm, which
startled Guan Ruofeng.

He exclaimed, "You tomboy, you actually dared to bite me! Let's see how I bite you back!"
The pain in his arm made him fierce, and he chased after Li Zixuan, who jumped up and ran away.

Li Zixuan even made a face at him arrogantly and shouted, "Come on! Come and bite me!"

Amidst the playful chasing of the two, Shen Tianqing was left standing to the side.

He could only shrug and go inside. After all, Guan Ruofeng had just said that if he wanted to
talk to Guan Ruozi, he'd have to find a way to wake her up. So he'd have to figure it out himself!

********************************

Entering the cool living room, he saw that the furnishings were all modern appliances and comfortable high-end
furniture . It was clear that the owner had excellent taste and style, hence the luxurious yet tasteful decor.

However, his purpose was to find someone, so he wasn't particularly concerned about all of this.

Downstairs there was only a kitchen, living room, and study, so he went upstairs. After searching several rooms,
he finally found the sleeping beauty.

She lay on the large Simmons bed, her petite body surrounded by cushions, dolls, pillows, and sheets.

His eyes were glued to her the moment he saw her.

She slept so innocently, yet exuded a captivating sensuality, perhaps because of her long sleep! Her
cheeks were a mesmerizing pink.

Her slightly parted red lips seemed to tempt him to commit a crime, drawing him irresistibly closer.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief at the light filling the room. He blinked hard, unable to
comprehend what he was seeing. The walls in front of her bed were entirely
inlaid with pearls, agates, various gemstones, and the finest diamonds. His approach illuminated the walls, making them gleam…

This extraordinary sight made him examine the room's furnishings. What he saw next left him completely
stunned, momentarily wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

How could anyone be so extravagant and audacious as to place all the top-tier jewelry in
one room, using it as the room's decoration?

He could tell with his own eyes that these jewels and diamonds were all of the purest quality, genuine, and
incredibly valuable. However, this was the first time he had ever witnessed the extraordinary sight of someone sleeping surrounded by diamonds and jewels.

It was the brilliance of the jewels that woke Guan Ruozi from her dream
. Invisible red sensors would wake her whenever a stranger approached the room. Since Guan Ruofeng was one of her own, he would never
disturb her, and the sensors would never activate their defense system as if he were a stranger.

This defense system was naturally designed by her genius younger brother, whose IQ
was to protect her expensive room decorated with diamonds and jewels. She had always been fascinated by beautiful
things, especially diamonds and jewels, which were her favorite.

Her father, an archaeologist, had excavated the tomb of an ancient Egyptian royalty ten years ago. His aim
was to obtain artifacts and historical evidence to prove the existence of this ancient person and his dynasty. However,
he unexpectedly discovered a treasure buried in a secret chamber. Using Guan Ruofeng's intelligence, he secretly smuggled the
treasure back to China, where it became the playthings of the siblings.

They simply admired them, never considering selling them or making any other plans, and
rarely wore them. So Guan Ruozi designed beautifully contrasting patterns to adorn her room with
these treasures. Guan Ruofeng, always a wanderer, would
stay here whenever he returned to Taiwan, and generously gave all the jewelry to his sister.

Shen Tianqing tried to move, but found his body held captive by some heat source. Unable to
move , he noticed Guan Ruozi was awake, scrutinizing him closely; she showed no panic,
but rather a hint of annoyance, as if blaming him for disturbing her sleep.

Guan Ruozi was so relaxed because she assumed Guan Ruofeng should be home, and this man
only came to her room with his permission; and seeing him, she understood why Guan Ruofeng was
so at ease.

Although this man appeared carefree and nonchalant, his every move possessed a captivating
charm that drew women's attention, especially his chiseled, handsome face, which must have charmed many women.

He lacked the shrewdness and seriousness of a businessman, instead exuding the air of an artist. His carefree demeanor and clean-cut,
alluring appearance certainly made him a sought-after figure in today's business world and a worthy bachelor.

Yes, she knew he was Shen Tianqing; she had seen his picture in a magazine.

His subtle artistic aura was one of the reasons Guan Ruofeng had felt at ease, because he most admired
men who were both upright and artistically inclined. He always said that such men possessed a
quality that made him feel trustworthy and secure.

Guan Ruozi didn't want to point out his words, because she understood perfectly well that her brother was indirectly telling her that she
possessed these qualities, which was why he felt a sense of affinity towards such people.

"I never expected that the esteemed CEO would personally grace my humble abode with his presence."

Her voice, slightly hoarse from long sleep, was incredibly alluring, causing Shen Tianqing to feel a familiar male
response. He was slightly surprised to find that simply hearing her voice had triggered a
natural reaction, which truly astonished him.

"Is that so? Do you really think a room like this can be called a humble abode?"

Guan Ruozi chuckled, disabling her defenses and allowing him to move freely. "Your impression of the facilities here..."
"What's your opinion?" She knew he wasn't just a CEO, but a very complex person.

He was a top-notch expert in jewelry appraisal, and in design, she had heard Li Zixuan mention it—
a taboo topic for Shen Tianqing. However, from Li Zixuan's words, she sensed he
should also have some knowledge in this area, which was why she boldly asked for his opinion, wanting to know his reaction.

Shen Tianqing stiffened at first, then stared intently at her, as if trying to understand her purpose in asking
. Seeing her unguarded state, he smiled gently and said, "Very beautiful."

These three simple words made Guan Ruozi sit up in bed, her hazy eyes gleaming with
thoughtful light.

The man before her shared similar characteristics with her; she saw herself reflected in him.

It was indeed strange and unbelievable, yet she couldn't explain the feeling he gave her.
Hidden beneath his gentle smile was an absolutely astonishing treasure, which he chose not to
reveal, just as she used her laziness to hide her true self.

"Not satisfied with my answer?" He could easily see her disdain. This woman
seemed to see through his facade in front of the world at first glance. So he said flippantly, "However, I think
these beautiful jewels are no match for your captivating charm and radiance."

"You're quite the smooth talker." Oh no! Seeing the interest gleaming in his eyes, she knew she couldn't escape
this persistent man.

Once Shen Tianqing realized he could move, he immediately went to her bedside and sat down without ceremony,
boldly stroking her silky, smooth hair; her thin strands were slightly
disheveled , a languid sensuality in their messiness.

"This has nothing to do with whether I'm good with words or not, I'm just stating the facts!"

he said, seducing her. She could feel his fingers deliberately stroking her hair gently, his fingertips
seeming to ignite an incredible flame within her, this subtle teasing causing her
body to tremble involuntarily.

Trying to compose herself, she finally spoke, "You must be here about the contract, right?"

"No rush." Shen Tianqing was suddenly captivated by his prey, completely forgetting his business. Besides
, in this atmosphere, he couldn't think of anything else; his only desire was to bury himself
in her soft, delicate feminine fragrance.

Suppressing the fluttering in her heart and the inexplicable excitement arising from his approach, she said to him, "I can see
you're not in a rush. But we've only just met; such enthusiasm seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"

With her womanly intuition, she understood perfectly well that his closeness revealed his desire for intimacy
. Unfortunately, her "suggestion" seemed unable to withstand his passion; before she could even blink, his lips had already
captured hers.

He gracefully displayed his tall, slender figure, using his advantageous position to trap her. His hands gently pressed against her
arms , his burning gaze lingering on her face, almost scorching her cheeks. She felt a slight unease, wanting to shift
her body, yet a soft moan escaped her lips from his kiss…

His nimble tongue seized the opportunity to slip into her mouth, teasing her inexperienced pink tongue, dancing with it.

Her lips, under his sucking, became as vibrant as a rose, intoxicating him even more. “Ruo Zi…
you’re so sweet… so beautiful…”

His low, husky voice, accompanied by heavy breathing, reached her ears and seeped into her heart.

She gazed at him, a feeling of attraction flowing and mingling in their eyes. She wanted to resist this subtle, almost imperceptible
affection, unable to believe that such a beautiful feeling could arise between them. Wasn’t this all too fast?

A momentary infatuation and physical pleasure were not her attitude towards pursuing love. She didn't want
forever , but she needed to be certain that he was the one she desired. However, before she could even let him
know her thoughts, his passion had become so intense that it was irresistible.

He leaned down again, his warm breath tracing her forehead, past her brows and long, thick
eyelashes , straight down to the tip of her delicate nose, before finally covering her slightly parted, hesitant, red lips…

She had never imagined that kissing could be so wonderful. She had always thought that exchanging saliva was unthinkable,
that swallowing each other's saliva was extremely unhygienic; but after experiencing it firsthand, she discovered
how wondrous the sensation was. Their tongues intertwined, carrying their mutual passion, completely overwhelming her with his torrent of
desire .

She couldn't help but let out a strange moan, her whole body almost going limp from his fervor. His kisses and
caresses possessed a captivating magic, leaving her utterly surrendering to him…

Just as she thought she was about to suffocate from his kisses, he abruptly pulled away
, his heavy breath brushing against her neck, letting her know that he wasn't unmoved.

Before she could speak, he moved away, turning his back to her.

A pang of disappointment shot through her at his retreat; she longed to return to his warm, burning embrace
. She realized then that his letting her go wasn't his intention, but rather the arrival of Guan Ruofeng.

Guan Ruofeng stood in the doorway, his gaze sweeping between the two. "So, you're a Sleeping Beauty, aren't you?
A prince's kiss is all it takes to wake you up. But this kiss seems a little too much!"

Guan Ruofeng's teasing didn't make Shen Tianqing uncomfortable at all. Clearly, the "Sleeping Beauty"
remained unaffected; she simply rose gracefully, preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Judging from the situation, she figured she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she might as well get up and eat something!

However, before going into the bathroom, she didn't back down and mocked her brother, "No matter how angry you are, it can't be as angry
as your anger towards Zixuan!"

Amidst Guan Ruofeng's roar, she chuckled and walked into the bathroom.

Guan Ruozi couldn't help but scoff inwardly. Didn't her brother know her character?
She was the kind of person who would take anything, but never suffer a loss.

Taking advantage of her older sister? Did he think life was too comfortable?

As soon as she entered the bathroom, Shen Tianqing immediately said to Guan Ruofeng, "Don't be angry. If you really want to pursue my little sister
, I advise you to change your attitude towards her. Otherwise, I guarantee you, in the end,
you'll only be able to watch Zixuan get married!"

"Hmph!" Guan Ruofeng couldn't help but snort loudly, kicking him with utter disdain, and said irritably, "
Who would like that tomboy? Stop being so head over heels in love."

Shen Tianqing found his reaction amusing. In fact, he had long since noticed that Guan Ruofeng and his sister's relationship had reached
a certain level, but he didn't know how deep it was. Normally, he would never meddle in other people's business, but
after meeting Guan Ruozi and being attracted to her, he had no choice but to get involved!

He knew that if he wanted to get Guan Ruozi, he had to remove the obstacles in his way first, and her brother was
obviously the number one obstacle. With him around, even if he had any improper thoughts, they would feel hindered. Why not
just sell his sister to find a wife?

The thought flashed through his mind, and he smiled with satisfaction. The strange smile on his face
raised Guan Ruofeng's vigilance to the highest level; however, seeing him staring at him warily, Shen Tianqing actually felt
a little .

He and Li Zixuan were indeed a perfect match. Just by looking at the sparks flying between them, one could understand how strong
their attraction to each other was.

Shen Tianqing believed his intuition was right. Entrusting his sister's future to this unassuming genius
man should be a happy thing. However, his considerations were mostly for his own happiness!

Although he couldn't help but reveal a sly smile, he still acted very friendly on the surface, saying to him indifferently
, "Alright! Since you don't like Zixuan so much, then I'll just have to advise her to obediently go back to blind dates and
find a suitable young man to marry!"

"I won't allow it!"

When Guan Ruofeng saw the smile on Shen Tianqing's face, he suddenly realized that he had "
announced . When he heard that Li Zixuan was going to blind dates, his whole body tensed up.
The voice of opposition in his heart kept echoing, pressing against his heart and causing him pain. He never expected that
he would lose control and shout out his inner voice.

"Sigh! I don't know what right you have to say no! But... if you really
want to tell her no, you'd better change your identity first, that might be more convincing!" Ha! The fish has taken the bait,
let's see how long he can stay calm!

Now, if we just give him another push, Guan Ruozi's chance will be pushed one step further forward! If you want to pursue
a beauty, how can you win her heart if you're not proactive!

Ignoring the glaring "I knew it all along" smile on his face, Guan Ruofeng turned around and wanted to go downstairs to question
the tomboy who was munching on the exquisite snacks he had prepared in the kitchen, but Shen Tianqing grabbed his arm.

"What's your rush? With the current interaction between you and Zixuan, you'll only provoke her to actually go home for a blind date
, and then you'll really be crying your eyes out!"

"You..." Guan Ruofeng was about to shake off his hand, but his high-IQ brain kicked in first.

Given Li Zixuan's impulsive and somewhat dim-witted personality, he would definitely
storm off in a huff If he didn't devise a plan, he might actually drive her away, and then where would he find her?

But wasn't Shen Tianqing being a bit too kind? Guan Ruofeng looked him up and down suspiciously,
then, noticing her sister's disheveled bedsheets, she immediately smiled knowingly. "I wondered why you
would so readily hand your sister over to another man; it turns out you had ulterior motives!"

Guan Ruofeng was indeed clever; she figured her sister wouldn't be easy to deal with. But wasn't her intelligence and wit precisely what she
admired about her?

Shen Tianqing slowly smiled. "Interested in hearing my plan?"

Glancing at the still motionless bathroom door, Guan Ruofeng gestured to him, "My older sister isn't an ordinary
woman. If you want to discuss the plan, let's go outside!"

The two men, with perfect understanding, quietly left the room one after the other, preparing to plot their wife-hunting scheme.

One was a genius man with an IQ of 150, the other a ruthless
tiger who could devour people while maintaining a smile; the upcoming drama was sure to be exciting.

***********************************

During these days together, Shen Tianqing finally witnessed Guan Ruozi's lazy personality.

If she could lie down, she would never sit; if she could sit, she would never stand; if she could avoid
being moved, there was no way to drag her out of the house.

Moreover, as long as her daily life was taken care of, she didn't care where her brother was. She didn't
even care about their time alone, instead naturally enjoying his services as if
it were his duty.

Like now, she had just finished her afternoon snack and was already relaxing in a comfortable recliner, curled up and
daydreaming. He truly couldn't understand why she, after eating and sleeping so much, showed no
signs of gaining weight.

She was a woman who "used" all beauty to her advantage, and gourmet food was one of her collections. Food not only had to
look beautiful, taste delicious, and smell wonderful, otherwise she would refuse to eat it.

Even the fruit after meals had to be cut for her, and if possible, he would feed her bite by bite, which she would be even happier with.
This woman, who needed everything taken care of for her, was truly the laziest woman he had ever met, yet for some
reason, he found it incredibly enjoyable. He even felt happy in the process of doing all that.

This incredible feeling, the sight of her blissful expression after eating… all of this made him
willingly give it his all .

For a week, their interaction pattern was: he provided the service, and she enjoyed it.
No wonder Guan Ruofeng was overjoyed to welcome him into the role of the devoted and hardworking good
man readily relinquished the position without a word and left with Li Zixuan without uttering a sound.

Although he took care of all her needs, he still found her an enigma, difficult
to understand . Beneath her languid exterior lay an unfathomable heart, and he longed to be
the man who won her heart.

Sitting
beside . Her smooth, delicate white shoulders and back made his hands unconsciously trace her
skin…

His approach, his touch, made Guan Ruozi's nerves tense, sensitively sensing…
All his movements… She wasn't truly asleep, but merely relaxing her body; all her
senses remained acutely aware.

Good heavens! Her relaxed, casual sleeping posture carried an unintentional allure, revealing her fair, shapely thighs, instantly
arousing his blood. Impulsive desire filled his body, making him irresistibly want to possess her,
seemingly unable to hold back any longer…

He groaned, unable to control himself, quickly lowering his head to lightly touch her longing lips;
the throbbing sensation deepened his kiss, wantonly seizing her sweetness from those luscious lips.

This sweet taste was even more intoxicating than their previous passionate kiss, so he deepened his kiss, his tongue
venturing into her slightly parted mouth, deeply drawing out her nectar.

His passionate kiss and greedy demands made it impossible for her to pretend indifference any longer. She slightly opened her eyes, seeing
his dark, lustful eyes, burning with a ferocity that startled her.

Perhaps realizing her gaze, he stopped his lips, but didn't look away, simply meeting her
eyes . "I want to love you!"

His tone was gentle, his gaze burning, making her cheeks flush...

She didn't reply, but the blush on her cheeks answered for her, causing Shen Tianqing's desire to surge to
its peak. His eyes turned crimson with desire, his longing for her deeply pounding against him, making him
cover , gently yet domineeringly greedily demanding.

No matter how she imagined it, she could never have imagined that lovemaking could feel so wonderful and comfortable. She
could keenly feel his large hands slowly exploring her body, covering her breasts, gently eliciting her
trembling and moans.

He eagerly sucked on her already erect nipples through her clothes, passionately teasing her desire. She surrendered to his
intense teasing, unable to muster any strength to refuse, nor could she find any reason to resist, because her
body had already become hot and yearning because of his touch.

From the moment she first saw him, she was not as composed and unaffected as she appeared. After
their first kiss, she couldn't resist his charm… Perhaps that's why she accepted him without a word

when she learned that her genius younger brother had left her in Shen Tianqing's care . The truth was, she already had a certain degree of affection for him; otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted him so naturally. Now, lying in his arms felt like a matter of course. She didn't want to leave at all. His strong, muscular body and undisguised desire made her linger , and she couldn't help but arch her back towards him. All her thoughts vanished when she realized his warm, wet lips were sucking on her nipple. Pleasurable sensations were sweeping over her at an astonishing speed, stimulating her senses and making her crave him immensely. Her inexperience in matters of the heart made her unable to resist his superb teasing skills and astonishing passion. Suddenly, she noticed his hands slipping restlessly inside her clothes, seemingly enjoying the soft touch of her skin. Then, he removed her clothes, his wet and skillful tongue directly sucking on her flushed nipples, eliciting a pleasurable moan from her, her whole body trembling slightly… Her moans further fueled his already burgeoning desire. He let out an impatient growl, and just as he was about to remove the rest of her clothes, the phone rang inconveniently, startling Guan Ruozi from her reverie. Shen Tianqing ignored it, wanting to continue their unfinished lovemaking, but the beauty insisted on pushing him away. He could only retreat in frustration, a series of low curses escaping his lips. Guan Ruozi breathed a sigh of relief; she was grateful the phone call had saved her. She wasn't averse to intimacy with him; although she harbored expectations and desires for him, she also hoped that their relationship wasn't just about lust. After she finished her call, she saw Shen Tianqing sitting across from her, looking at her thoughtfully. The coldness in his eyes made her uneasy. She stood up, trying to avoid his gaze. His steady voice came from behind her. "Where are you going?" "To take a shower." "Oh!" he replied, following her. She couldn't help but frown, turning around to see his usual gentle smile, which made her heart skip a beat. Looking at him so closely, she felt that this man was unbelievably handsome , captivating her. But his smile seriously affected her; she didn't like this infatuated version of herself. " Don't follow me. Go do your own thing, okay?" He smiled at her, looking completely innocent, and said, "What I need to do is serve you. I know you're lazy, but that's okay. I'm happy to serve you." Strangely, she couldn't shake the feeling that his smile was malicious. "But I need to take a shower now!" "I know." He shrugged helplessly. "Actually, I'm just trying to be helpful. It's too tiring to shower by yourself. Why don't I do it for you?" "What!" "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get very clean. You've accepted everything I think, to show that my service is top-notch, how about I serve you the whole time? What do you think?" Seeing that he could make such a shameless suggestion without even taking a breath, she could only stare at him in disbelief and repeatedly refused, "No... no need, I..." He held her hand in his, and his beautiful eyes gazed at her affectionately with a serious expression, which made her swallow her words. He seized the opportunity to hurriedly say to her, "Don't be so polite. I've been taking care of all your meals, clothes, snacks, etc. these past few days . Since you're so unwilling to do anything, just leave it all to me! I guarantee you'll be very satisfied with my service." In Chapter Three , Guan Ruozi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. What was wrong with this man? Who was being polite to him? Unable to suppress her concern and anger, she growled, "I don't need your service. I can do this myself. You're such a pervert!" Looking at her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, Shen Tianqing thought she looked beautiful at that moment. He loved her vibrant appearance so much that he couldn't resist his wicked instincts; he just wanted to tease her and see...

She was annoyed by his aggressive gestures.

He winked at her and said ambiguously, "Oh dear! Little Zi'er, you're hurting my feelings by saying that
. No matter how lustful I am, it's only you. It's because you're so naturally beautiful and tempting that
I can't help but be tempted!"

His implication was that he wanted to shift all the blame onto her. This man was
truly was getting the better end of the deal and then acting innocent! "If you're really so hungry you're blinded and mistake me for a delicacy,
then I advise you to hurry up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Don't stand here rambling incoherently and make people think you're crazy."

Shen Tianqing suddenly leaned on her shoulder, giving her no chance to refuse, and said to her in a very
mournful tone, "Little Zi'er, you really hurt my heart. All my sincerity towards you,
cooking for you, and serving you with all my heart, and you actually... Sigh! I'm so pitiful!"

Seeing him like this, Guan Ruozi almost wanted to cry for help. What had she done wrong?
Why did God send this scoundrel to test her patience? She rarely had emotional ups and downs, partly because she was too lazy to
argue with people, and partly because she was very satisfied with her current life. If people didn't bother her, she didn't want
to socialize , because the most troublesome thing in the world was socializing and dealing with people. Not only did it require losing face, but it also exhausted her
mind. She would never do something so tiring and annoying.

Now, unexpectedly, a contract has brought this man into her complacent and lazy life;
what's worse , her once serene heart has been stirred by him, and how can she ever return to her former
peaceful life?

Helplessly, she pushed his head away from her shoulder, feigning disgust, and said, "Stay away from me
!"

"No!" he refused decisively, his tone extremely serious. "I need to be
very , without even the slightest distance, so that you'll truly hold me in your heart."

Good heavens! This man is really going too far. Knowing he's very handsome, he still
looks at . Doesn't he know that this makes her heart race, greatly affects her mood, and
makes her believe his words so readily?

She replied irritably, "You're always hovering around me,
like . Who wouldn't notice you?"

Just thinking about it made her angry. Is this man crazy? He's always around her,
disturbing rest; or he'll hum and sing while she's watching TV or reading, constantly asking what she wants to eat or drink
. Even worse, he's always asking her questions. He doesn't seem annoyed, but she's about to scream from the sheer annoyance.

With him around, her lazy life has started to change, and she can no longer enjoy it. She almost
wants to pull her hair out, yell at him without hesitation, and kick him out the door, giving her some peace and quiet
.

However, whenever this thought arises, a faint sense of reluctance follows. This contradiction is
driving her crazy, and now he dares to flirt with her! How infuriating! He's
practically stolen her innocent girlish heart.

Hearing her describe him like this, Shen Tianqing couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This woman really knows how to test one's patience. Look at her comparing herself to a tiny fly—isn't that
underestimating him? Shen Tianqing was a darling of the social world, with top-tier status and charm, yet she gave him
such a low evaluation, deeply wounding his male pride.

"Little Zi'er, what did you just call me?" His handsome
face , loomed closer to her threateningly, his clenched teeth making him look somewhat frightening. "I was a little hard of hearing just now, could
you please open your mouth and say it again?"

Guan Ruozi wasn't afraid of his intimidating aura at all. Although she hadn't spent much time with him,
for some reason, she believed that the man before her would never harm her.

With a forced smile, she placed her slender hand on his handsome face, boldly patting it lightly, and said to him,
"What's the problem? Since someone admits to being old and hard of hearing, and is so
humble , how can I be so petty?"

She had barely uttered the last word when, surprised by the alluring texture of his handsome face
, she suddenly lost control and accidentally slapped him hard. Seeing his
face darken and his expression turn ugly, she couldn't help but take a step back, sticking out her tongue guiltily.

Oh no! How could she have been so captivated by his beautiful skin that she forgot herself and gave him such a hard
slap ? Seeing his face suddenly darken, her eyes darted around, then she started giggling innocently,
holding up the culprit "hand" and saying, "Uh... I don't know why I did this... I really
didn't mean to hit you, really, it was definitely not my intention, and I didn't do it, it was this hand!" She
glared at it playfully, as if she had nothing to do with it.

"Oh!" This little girl still didn't know how to repent, and he couldn't help but move closer to her.

He figured he'd been too good to her, which was why she was so brazen in hitting him; since she loved to hit him so much, he
wouldn't mind indulging her, otherwise wouldn't he seem too petty?

His hands were firmly placed on her shoulders, undoubtedly warning her that she couldn't escape his sphere of influence, and that she should
be sensible and not try anything rash, lest he do something unfortunate that even he couldn't control.

His eyes clearly conveyed this message to her; if she still didn't understand, then she was a complete idiot
.

So, Guan Ruozi had no choice but to stand still, letting his masculine scent surround her, his hot
breath spraying onto her skin; she reacted sensitively, feeling a heat slowly rising within her…
…

“Of course!” She nodded vigorously to emphasize her words, forcing a smile to
hide the trembling in her body caused by his influence, “I don’t know why this hand is so self-
aware , please be magnanimous and forgive it this once!”

Shen Tianqing grasped her half-raised hand in his warm palm and held it up to her eyes. Under her
glare, his thin lips slowly pressed against it, deliberately caressing it in an extremely provocative manner. “
What’s the problem? Such a beautiful and soft hand, it wouldn’t be right not to forgive it, would it?”

Good heavens! Did this man's eyes suddenly get electrified? How could
he suddenly unleash such a mesmerizing million-volt current on her while they were talking? She was so captivated by the allure in his eyes that
she felt lightheaded, and she could feel the warm, tingling sensation of his hand against her palm rapidly affecting her.

"You...you shouldn't look at me like that..."

How terrifying! She was more used to his playful, easygoing demeanor;
this serious, affectionate gaze was like a powerful magnet, drawing her soul in and making her
feel uneasy, prompting her to warn him.

She began to strongly realize the influence this man had on her.

Hehehe...Shen Tianqing laughed smugly, his masculine charm
undiminished ; even if his sincere devotion to her was one-sided, he wouldn't hold it against her. "Little Zi'er, what kind of look am I giving you? Why don't you explain it clearly?" He winked at

her suggestively . For the first time, Guan Ruozi felt the urge to escape. She glared at him fiercely and hissed, "Go ahead and say what you want to say. I don't have time for you!" Turning around, she slammed the door shut in front of him. She could hear his hearty laughter echoing from the other side of the door. Strangely, she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled back, then began to groom herself. *************************** When she appeared in this cool, knee-length dress, Shen Tianqing couldn't help but stare at her wide-eyed. Her taste in clothing was truly unique! The top was a purplish-red chiffon, adorned with sparkling rhinestones that were so dazzling he could barely open his eyes; the skirt, just above the knee, revealed her fair calves, and was black, also embellished with shimmering rhinestones. The diamond necklace she wore was exquisite and dazzling, each bead seemingly unique , showcasing her distinctive temperament and noble elegance, making his heart flutter. He strode to her, inhaling her intoxicating feminine fragrance. "Little Zi'er, where are you planning to go dressed like that?" He couldn't believe her audacity, daring to flaunt such extravagance in the street, seemingly oblivious to the poor state of public safety. Although her attire didn't appear vulgar but rather accentuated her noble and charming style, he was still angry at her lack of awareness of her own safety. To his question, Guan Ruozi remained nonchalant, stroking the necklace around her neck, and answered matter-of-factly , "Of course I'm going out! Do you even need to ask? Could you please go get the car?" His anger began to rise at her indifference. With a forced smile , he teased her earring, "Do you want me to tell you how much your outfit is worth?" "Of course not! I'm the designer of this diamond jewelry set. Do I need you to tell me how much it's worth ?" She raised an eyebrow, placing a hand on his cheek and patting it gently as if to comfort him. "Are you going to drive me out or not?" "Unless you tell me where you're going first." His uncompromising expression and stern demeanor left Guan Ruozi only able to smile and raise an eyebrow. "Of course it's with a friend. What? Afraid I'll sell you out?" "You woman..." He was furious at her nonchalant attitude, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "I'm afraid that if you go out dressed like this, someone will definitely rob you. Don't you have any sense of crisis? Don't you know how chaotic society is these days, how..." He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by her lips, which she offered to him, leaving his words stuck in his throat . He was stunned by her bold move; he hadn't expected her to use this method to shut him up. The moment he touched her soft lips, his mind went blank. Then, his male instinct kicked in, and with a quick movement, he pulled her soft body into his arms. Not satisfied with her lips pressing against his without taking any further action, he skillfully and quickly took control, his deep, dark eyes flashing with a strange light, as if he was trying to suppress yet yearning for her response. He showered her lips with a soft, persistent kiss, like a gentle pecking motion. Then, driven by his inner desire , he deepened his exploration. At her slight protest, he skillfully coaxed her lips open, and his agile tongue invaded her mouth, passionately sucking her fragrant nectar. Only when the tightness in her chest and her unbearable struggles reminded them of their severe oxygen deprivation and difficulty breathing did he gradually regain his self-control. He moved his lips away, his fingers still lingering on the swollen spots from her kisses. "Your trick really works . Maybe next time when you nag me, I can do the same," Guan Ruozi couldn't help but scoff. "You know how much you nag, don't you? A grown man like an old woman's foot-binding cloth, spouting a long, tedious string of words. If I don't stop you, you'll go crazy!" Rolling her eyes, she didn't understand what she had done wrong to deserve this fate—that God had sent him to torment her? How dare he complain about her? Shen Tianqing's lips twitched involuntarily. He never expected that this handsome, dashing man would suffer such humiliation. Could it be that meeting her was fate, forcing him to unwillingly submit to her and bow down to her? "Little Zi'er!" he called softly. Anyone who heard his tone would understand that it meant danger, but she still looked at him indifferently, making him furious. "Don't you know that when I say that to you..." "Stop!" This time, she cleverly covered his mouth with her hand, frowning slightly as she said, "I know, that's why I asked you to drive me. Don't tell me you can't even protect me!" Damn it! Shen Tianqing glared at her. This woman was practically provoking him! No woman had ever dared to treat him like this. Had he spoiled her too much? But what was the source of the sweet feeling that flickered in his heart? After staring at her for a long time, he suddenly sighed heavily. So be it! He was simply helpless against her; his affection and admiration for her had accumulated into something he couldn't ignore.

He was already in love, what should he do? He could only follow his feelings.

Just as he thought this, he put on his usual smile, winked at her with a slightly flirtatious expression, and
his lips moved restlessly against her palm. Just as she tried to pull her hand away, his hand forcefully
covered hers, kissing each of her delicate fingers.

This seductive advance made her feel the passion he had deliberately stirred, a
shiver running . To avoid succumbing to his charm again, she tried to speak,
but he saw through her intentions and her agitation before she could react, speaking first.

"Since you place such high hopes on my abilities, how can I not go all out and protect you with my life?" Before she could react, he had already turned his back to her, preventing her from seeing his

undisguised smug smile. His mood suddenly improved, because he realized she wasn't entirely indifferent to him either; a deep stirring within her stirred her heart as well. Shen Tianqing hadn't expected her to bring him to the banquet. It was a small, private gathering, and everyone seemed to share a similar air—like artists. Although they were all dressed formally, their undeniable individuality and decadent air were still apparent. Perhaps it was just for the sake of etiquette; otherwise, how could their behavior be so different from their attire? He was usually a carefree fish at banquets, finding such occasions as he found that the people here had their own way of getting along, and the social skills of business banquets were completely inapplicable. He found this quite interesting; he had experienced similar situations in his own life before. However, a fleeting image in his mind made him frown, as it was something he hadn't thought about for years. Now, he didn't want to think about those long-buried memories, especially when he saw his woman surrounded by a group of menacing men, laughing and chatting. His sense of crisis immediately kicked in. His iron-like arm immediately landed on Guan Ruozi's slender waist, revealing a clear possessiveness. His eyes, like radar, swept over every man who showed strong interest in her, causing them to involuntarily shrink back under his powerful gaze and become curious about their relationship. Guan Ruozi, however, was quite unimpressed by his actions. When no one was looking, she secretly pinched his arm as punishment for his possessiveness. His blatant possessiveness and declaration of ownership immediately drew the attention of her friends. But Shen Tianqing remained indifferent, as if she were merely tickling him, still sporting sunny smile. However, his hand on her waist suddenly tightened, causing her to wince in pain and involuntarily furrow her brows. Just as she was about to protest, he loosened his grip and began to gently caress and rub her waist, making her body tremble involuntarily. She glared at him fiercely, only to see his mischievous smile and his ambiguous eyes winking at her, instantly dispelling her sudden anger. A sudden, loud kiss landed on her lips, freezing the atmosphere around them. Guan Ruozi's face flushed crimson in an instant, while Shen Tianqing smiled smugly, ignoring the stunned faces around him and Guan Ruozi's embarrassment, quite pleased with the effect he had created. He glanced at the other men with a determination to assert his ownership. This seemingly gentle man could display such sharp and arrogant domineering power for a woman, startling everyone and revealing his intense desire for her. After her initial shock, Guan Ruozi let the sweet feeling wash over her, but she muttered under her breath, "Childish!" Ignoring her rebuke, Shen Tianqing smiled at her, even leaning on her shoulder in a way that shocked everyone, and said in a spoiled tone, "Little Zi'er, how can you scold me like that ? I love you so much, and you treat me with such disdain! I don't care anymore!" His playful antics left everyone speechless, while Guan Ruozi wished she could disappear immediately. She began to regret bringing him along. Just as she was about to protest, a slightly surprised yet joyful female voice silenced her. "It's you?" Guan Ruozi looked curiously towards the source of the voice. At the same time, she could feel the man beside her stiffen , which further fueled her curiosity. She instinctively felt there must be something between this woman and Shen Tianqing. Upon closer inspection, Guan Ruozi couldn't help but be surprised. Wasn't it Mi Xue? A woman with a haughty demeanor, intelligent beautiful, and shrewd—she was introduced to him three years ago by the organizer, Lan Tingna, and she was also his fiancée. They had never planned to marry, supposedly due to Lan Tingna's philandering. Although Lan Tingna claimed he loved Michelle and was deeply attracted to her beauty and intelligence, and both sets of parents were optimistic about the marriage, he still wanted to enjoy life for a few more years, especially since his artistic pursuits hadn't yet reached his ideals, and he didn't want to be tied down by marriage. Lan Tingna was a very famous glass artist in the art world; every piece he created was a masterpiece, lifelike and imbued with a sense of vitality. Every facet, every angle, was dazzlingly beautiful, even the light he refracted was mesmerizing. His social status and reputation were renowned, so he was surrounded by beautiful women, which fostered his arrogant and conceited nature. However, Michelle's charm was not to be underestimated. She was always radiant and stunning, a queen who attracted the most attention wherever . And now, this beautiful queen was showing Shen Tianqing the kind of surprised and delighted attitude one would expect after knowing him for so long. How could Guan Ruozi not feel strange? A part of her heart collapsed instantly, leaving her feeling empty... Amidst the gasps of astonishment from the crowd, Michelle threw herself into Shen Tianqing's arms and said to him, "Tianqing, it's been so long, I've missed you so much." Her actions and words sent an uncomfortable feeling through Guan Ruozi's heart. Before she could even process this feeling, she was stunned by Michelle's sudden attempt to kiss Shen Tianqing.

Just as she was about to lash out, Shen Tianqing had already made his move. He swiftly avoided Mi Xue's offered
kiss and subtly evaded her venomous physical entanglement. He skillfully pulled
Guan Ruozi, who was trying to escape, back to him, firmly holding her waist to prevent her from running away.

"Unfortunately, I don't know you. You've mistaken me for someone else."

Shen Tianqing's words made Guan Ruozi want to scream. She had clearly called him by name, and given his
indescribable reaction just now, saying they didn't know each other was far-fetched. Couldn't he have come up with another
explanation to convince her?

Sure enough, Michelle's expression changed. She stiffly suppressed her unpleasant look, then broke into
a beautiful smile and said to Shen Tianqing, "Stop it. I know you still hold a grudge about what happened back then, but
I had no choice. I really hope you can understand my predicament… You still haven't forgiven me, have you?"

Her tearful appearance was so pitiful, enough to melt even the hardest heart.
Unfortunately, that didn't apply to Shen Tianqing. He still looked at her with a gentle smile, only the coldness in his eyes revealing
how ruthless he was towards the beauty before him.

"There's no such thing as forgiveness," Shen Tianqing finally admitted, acknowledging that he knew her, but he truly wished
he had never met her. His hand on Guan Ruozi's waist tightened, and then he said, "
There's nothing ."

At this moment, a refined and handsome man suddenly appeared beside Mi Xue, his wild, unrestrained, and arrogant
demeanor exuding self-importance. He intimately pulled Mi Xue into his arms and sized up Shen Tianqing with a competitive gaze.

"Isn't this the Golden Tiger, who's famous in the business world?"

His sarcastic and provocative tone was obvious, but Shen Tianqing didn't care at all. He simply smiled
gently and said to him, "You flatter me."

After glancing at Guan Ruozi, Lan Tingna said to him in a very nasty tone, "Mr. Shen
, how can your money-grubbing nature blend with Miss Guan's artistic temperament? Aren't you afraid of polluting Miss Guan's noble
temperament?"

"Tingna, you're wrong to say that. I'm just a small jewelry designer.
How can I be compared to you self-righteous and pretentious people?" A surge of anger
rose up .

How dare he speak to him like that? What makes him any better? He wouldn't even insult a hair on Shen Tianqing's head, yet
he dared to hurl insults!

When Shen Tianqing gently stroked her fist soothingly, she suddenly realized
how , and understood how excited she was. This realization startled her; he
had quietly become important to her.

Shen Tianqing could sense Guan Ruozi's feelings for him; he truly felt it. In that moment, he found his
mood improved greatly. His smile remained gentle, but the coldness in his eyes vanished, replaced by
tenderness.

Lan Tingna was extremely jealous of Guan Ruozi's obvious protectiveness. Why could this man win her favor,
while he could only be her friend? He

could get almost anything he wanted, but his only failure was this
sexy and alluring beauty before him, a blow that deeply wounded his male pride.

Now, she had actually hurt him again for another man, and in front of everyone no less!
How could he possibly swallow this? His anger flared, his expression contorted with rage, and he spoke through
gritted teeth.

He retorted bitterly, "Since you know that a shrewd businessman like him is no
match for people of our status and position, why do you condescend to stand with such a person?"

He was going too far! Guan Ruozi had never imagined that anyone could provoke her fiery temper like this.

She always maintained a lazy attitude towards everyone and everything. No matter how big the problem, she
would easily avoid it under the pretext of trouble, too lazy to face it, rarely losing her temper, and even less likely to go out socializing
. If it weren't for the few close friends she was attending this private banquet, she wouldn't have bothered
going out .

But she never expected this man to be so despicable!

"I may have forgotten to introduce you. This is my friend. If you have any
dissatisfaction , it's tantamount to insulting me, and then there's no need for us to stay any longer."

Her face flushed with anger, she turned to leave, but then she saw the astonished looks on everyone's faces.

Their gazes and expressions startled Guan Ruozi, and she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Good heavens! What's wrong with her? Could it be that her feelings for Shen Tianqing have changed from simple liking to a
deeper emotion? Otherwise, how could she, who is usually so cold and composed, suddenly become
like this, ready to fight someone?

It seems she needs to understand their situation properly.

"I understand. So you think he's just an ordinary friend. Then I think I still have a chance.
If you're willing, we can start in bed. Perhaps then you'll understand that my abilities are definitely
no less than any man's."

Such aggressive words were blurted out by Lan Tingna when his male pride was severely wounded. He
had always been a prodigy, his impressive achievements and arrogance stemming from never having experienced rejection made him extremely resentful.
He attacked her with vicious words, hoping she would experience the unbearable humiliation she had inflicted on him . Lan Tingna's unrestrained insults caused everyone present to gasp, and Shen Tianqing 's swift and silent attack, sending Lan Tingna flying with a powerful punch, further shocked and garnered discussion. Shen Tianqing merely smiled slightly at everyone, bowed, and then pulled Guan Ruozi away with an elegant demeanor, revealing no trace of his inner anger. All of this left a deep impression on everyone. Chapter Four: The car drove along the winding road. Guan Ruozi turned her head, gazing intently at Shen Tianqing's handsome profile . His serious and thoughtful expression was something she had never seen before; in her memory, this man was always smiling.

He looked at her like this, and her heart fluttered. His lips were tightly pressed together, reminding her of how passionately they
had pressed against hers, the exquisite sensation of them undulating on her lips so sensual and alluring, making
her blush and her heart race.

Touching her chest, she didn't know why, just looking at him like this made her feel a
strange longing well up inside her; she wanted to hold him tightly, to release the sudden loneliness that had gripped her
…

Following his handsome face down, she saw his long, slender hands gripping the steering wheel, so steady and
reassuring; those hands had once moved so passionately over her body, making her unconsciously lick her lips,
her inner desire causing her to clench her fists.

"Little Zi'er, if you keep looking at me like that, I might just take you right here on the street!"

His voice jolted her awake, and she realized with embarrassment that her clenched fists had turned white. Good heavens!
She couldn't help but cup her cheeks in her hands, feeling the warmth on her skin, knowing
her face must be flushed.

She never imagined that gazing at him like that would spark such fantasies. She couldn't help but scold
herself , realizing she was turning into a lecherous woman, and this series of desires only told her one thing:
she was falling for him.

To hide her feelings, she glared at him and muttered, "You
big pervert, who cares about you!" Good heavens! Why did she call him a pervert? She had just given herself the title of "big pervert
," and now they were paired together?

She lightly tapped her head, cursing herself for being so stupid, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her hand. He held her
hand in his warm, large palm, and she stared blankly at her hand enveloped in his, momentarily forgetting to struggle, but he
had already taken her hand and gently kissed it.

"Little Zi'er! You're wrong to say that. Even if I'm lustful, it's only towards you. If it were someone else,
I might not even appreciate it!"

"Yes! Should I say it's my honor?" she said with a forced smile.

She tried to shake off his hand, but he held on tightly, not so tightly that it hurt, but she
couldn't break free.

"Well..." He glanced at her briefly before continuing, "If that's what you think, I
won't interfere too much with your thoughts. After all, I'm a very open-minded man, very easy to communicate with, and I would never suppress
anyone's thoughts, especially since you're my woman. I would never do such a thing. I'm a
modern, exemplary man at the forefront of the times!"

"Please!" Seeing his smug look, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, so she
said quite rudely, "There's nothing to brag about, okay?"

"Little Zi'er..." he couldn't help but call out to her, the last syllable lingering. Suddenly,
he moved the hand that was covering hers to his own heart, and whispered, "Your words have broken my heart.
Can you feel it? It's lost its beating vitality because of you."

Unable to break free, she slapped him rather rudely, then stared at him with wide, feigned innocence,
exclaiming, "Ah! I never thought your heart was so fragile! It shattered with just a light tap
! Oh no! Should I take you to the hospital for a heart transplant? And maybe a head transplant too? Maybe then you
won't be so pathetically insane?"

The look in her eyes betrayed a genuine urge to dissect his skull;
the murderous made Shen Tianqing involuntarily swallow hard.

Really? She got angry over that? So

unable to take a joke? Could it be because she's hungry? He couldn't help but
glance , only to be met with an even more menacing glare from her, causing him to chuckle involuntarily.

"Hehehe! Are you being so difficult because you're hungry?"

Guan Ruozi couldn't help but frown, glaring at him fiercely. "You rude barbarian,
what's with all this 'digging' stuff? It sounds awful. From now on, focus on driving, or else... hmph..."

Her eyes gleamed, her dangerous expression suggesting she was about to teach him a lesson, almost causing Shen Tianqing to veer off course.

"Little Zi'er, don't be so cruel! Think about it, I've poured my heart and soul into this for you, done
everything I could, and you still despise me, boohoo... I'm so sad... I want to cry..."

"Shut up!" Guan Ruozi, seeing his idiotic and persistent act, finally lost her temper
. She growled, "Stop pretending to be cute. If you don't care about your life, wait until I get out of the car before you end
it yourself! Now focus on driving, or I'll kick you out and drive home myself!"

"Fine! People say 'Listen to your wife, and you'll be rich and powerful,' so I'll listen to my wife this once and drive obediently,
making sure I get you home safely. How about that?"

Hearing his address to her, Guan Ruozi's face changed drastically. She sternly rebuked him, "Who's your
wife ? Stop trying to claim kinship with me. Do you believe I'll tell you to get out right now?"

Her cold and ruthless words showed that the atmosphere between them had plummeted to
freezing point . Shen Tianqing immediately realized it. He glanced at her, seeing defensiveness and unease in her eyes,
her expression serious and cold. He knew he had stepped on a landmine!

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy. Guan Ruozi didn't want to break it, and Shen Tianqing seemed
unwilling to say anything more. It wasn't until quite a while later that Guan Ruozi spoke softly, almost making Shen Tianqing think
he imagined it.

"What is your relationship with Mi Xue?"

Her sudden question changed the atmosphere instantly. Shen Tianqing's body stiffened abruptly, seemingly
very averse to the topic; even she could feel his sudden defensiveness.

But she insisted on knowing. She stared at him intently, and when she realized he wasn't going to speak, she
pressed "It seems you and she had some kind of relationship, didn't you?"

His long, slender fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened suddenly, almost turning white, before relaxing again.
He glanced at her and replied indifferently, "That's all in the past." *

You say it's in the past, but seeing your pathetic state, it's obviously not!* she
silently , yet for some reason, she felt a dull ache, as if deeply troubled by his past relationship with another woman.
She was bothered by his calling her "wife" earlier; she had reacted so strongly, yet now she was still
dwelling on something that was already in the past. What was

she thinking? Could it be that her feelings for him had transformed into a deep love that even she couldn't have predicted? Thinking this,
her heart tightened, and her face paled. She couldn't accept this discovery for a moment.

Her prolonged silence made Shen Tianqing glance at her. When he noticed
the strangeness in her expression, he quickly called out, "Xiao Zi'er, what's wrong?"

Guan Ruozi shook her head at him, then said softly, "How did you two meet?"

Her intuition was accurate; this was definitely the problem.

"I don't really want to talk about her. After all, there are many topics between us that are more
meaningful . However, if you really want to know, I'll tell you another day," Shen Tianqing said honestly.

"But not now."

"Yes, not now."

The firmness in his tone left Guan Ruozi speechless. She could only gaze at him silently, as if trying to see into
the depths of his soul. This made Shen Tianqing unable to resist pulling her hand to his knee again.

"Little Zi'er, please believe in my sincerity towards you, okay?"

His sudden confession stunned Guan Ruozi. Looking at his serious expression and earnest eyes, her
heart fluttered, wavering between belief and disbelief. "Really?" she
asked didn't trust him, yet he was the one who had drawn her in.

She couldn't help but smile. Such a complex and contradictory state of mind made her feel exhausted.
Wavering between love and indifference, she couldn't help but recall the shadows of the past. Looking at the face she cherished before her, for the first time,
a solemn expression appeared on her face.

"Of course!" He nodded firmly again. "Trust me this once."

She couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "If trusting you this time only brings hurt and
pain, then should I still take the risk?" "

I can't guarantee there won't be any hurt. We often pay special attention
to every word Some of those words are unintentional, but being particularly sensitive, we are always
hurt by a casual glance, action, or word from the other person. If both sides can be honest with each other, we will
know that we are overthinking. So, I really hope that from now on, if you have any doubts about me, you can
ask me. I will definitely answer you sincerely, and before figuring out the truth, please trust me."

Such affectionate eyes, such sincere gaze, such a reassuring expression. Unconsciously, she was immersed in
his gentleness and couldn't extricate herself. "Perhaps I should take the risk, shouldn't I?" Her words sounded more like
she was talking to herself .

"This is important for our future. I think it's up to you to decide whether you want to believe I can bring
you a happy future. I can't guarantee there won't be any storms along the way, but I can assure you that I will be absolutely sincere to you throughout
this journey."

"Never leave you?"

"Who hurt you in the past?" He instinctively felt that her distrust stemmed from past
trauma, which was why she guarded her heart so tightly, afraid of being hurt again.

His question made Guan Ruozi freeze instantly, and then she slowly said, "Just now, I was angry and didn't
want you to call me 'wife' because I think that title is a very serious and solemn matter for me. I
don't want you to call me that in a joking tone."

"You respect the institution of marriage, but you don't believe in love?"

"If you had parents who were a model couple on the surface, then I think you would also scoff at
love ." Her tone was full of sarcasm.

He glanced at her quickly, then looked ahead again, raising an eyebrow. "Little Zi'er, you're
contradicting yourself . On one hand, you disdain their marriage, yet you have such a respectful attitude towards marriage?"

"No. What I don't trust is the love within marriage, not the institution of marriage itself. Marriage vows
deeply move me, but how many people can truly hold hands and grow old together? Perhaps they
are sincere at the moment they utter their vows, but what about a year later, ten years later? Can they truly still have the same
desire to spend their lives together? Marriage vows, when applied to real life, seem to become a big joke,
and their only excuse is that the feeling is gone; because they no longer love each other, the things that initially attracted each other
have become fatal and unbearable flaws. How can I believe in love under such circumstances?"

Her calm tone carried a slight, almost imperceptible tremor and fluctuation, which tugged at Shen Tianqing's heart, filling him with
a sense of heartache. He held her hand tightly and said gently, "This is just how some people are;
what they do is their business, but I can take responsibility for my own actions. The moment I saw you,
I had the thought of wanting to grow old with you, and that gradually turned into an unbreakable resolve. I will never let
you go. No matter what happens, as long as I have you and our love, nothing is insurmountable. I
have faith in our love. What about you?"

He was demanding her promise. She immediately understood that this man was not only demanding her sincerity, but also
her unchanging love for a lifetime.

Her heart wavered; she could feel herself softening. For him, those actions that used laziness as
an excuse no longer mattered; his deep affection strangely warmed her empty and cold heart.

They were each lost in their own thoughts, letting love and trust surround them.

A loud crash from behind their car jolted them from their reverie…

“Tianqing!”

Guan Ruozi cried out in alarm, quickly turning back to see a completely black car relentlessly
pursuing them, seemingly intent on ramming them again.

Shen Tianqing’s expression suddenly turned icy, but his reassuring tone towards Guan Ruozi remained gentle
: “Little Zi’er, don’t worry, I’m here. I will never let you get hurt.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he floored the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow, navigating the winding road
with great trepidation.

Gripping the door handle tightly, Guan Ruozi felt her heart pounding in her chest. She could see the car
behind them closely following, determined to corner them.

“Tianqing, they’re catching up!” she cried out in panic.

"Little Zi'er, don't be afraid, I'll shake them off. If you're scared, don't look. Lower your head." He
rarely showed a stern expression, and with a large hand, he pressed her head down onto his knee.

Shen Tianqing exuded a murderous aura, his sharp eyes assessing the
situation . He could tell that the car behind them not only wanted to warn them, but also wanted to
harm them.

What was their purpose? Seeing the approaching car, he decided to shake off this trouble first before figuring
it out . So he began to speed along the winding mountain road, barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other...

Perhaps the other car hadn't expected Shen Tianqing's driving skills to be so superb, his adaptability and reaction
so excellent, so in no time he left them behind.

They originally wanted to continue chasing, but fearing they would make things worse, they had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Back

at their lodgings, Guan Ruozi spoke first, "Why do you think someone would want to attack us?"

Shen Tianqing's eyes held a deep, thoughtful look. He looked at her for a while before saying, "I think it's
aimed you."

"Really? Why not say maybe you wronged some woman, and she came looking for revenge?" She
glared at him mockingly and plopped down on the sofa.

Shen Tianqing then sat down beside her, gently and teasingly stroking her face with one hand
. "Little Zi'er, I forgive your distrust this time, but if you provoke me like this again,
I 'll spank you!"

Guan Ruozi couldn't help but snort, looking completely unconcerned. "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to
spank ? I say what I want, why are you so nosy!"

It was truly surprising! She looked mature and womanly, but how could she actually be so
childish ? "Little Zi'er, don't be stubborn. Am I really that hard for you to trust? You're making me
very sad!" His light tone carried a serious questioning tone.

Guan Ruozi glared at him, then reached out and lightly patted his cheek, saying, "You can't blame me for this, we're
not that close !" "

She must be doing it on purpose!" Shen Tianqing couldn't help but twitch his cheek, but he still forced a smile and
said through gritted teeth, "Little Zi'er, are you complaining? If you really want to be close to me, I
'll be happy to do it. I promise, we'll be very, very close, so close we'll be bubbling with excitement, okay?"

Wow! The tiger really roared. She could feel his anger rising, and he looked
like he was about to pounce on her, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue. It seemed she had
provoked him too much, and now he was really enraged. It looked like he was about to eat her up!

She couldn't help but take a step back, trying to distance herself from him, and said, "You..."

But the poor girl only managed to utter a sound before his kiss silenced her. She could only obediently submit to
his control...

He smiled maliciously and said to her wickedly, "You'll find out
just how close we really are in a moment."

As if declaring his determination, he didn't give her a chance to object, and immediately
sealed .

His kiss was intense and wild, passionate and unrestrained. His tongue greedily searched between her sweet teeth, then
tightly entwined and sucked on her little tongue, demanding from her wildly, leaving her no room to retreat...

He savored her sweetness wantonly until she was breathless, then moved his lips and tongue to her snow-white neck
. Her cheeks were flushed with a drunken blush of desire, her starry eyes were half-closed, her lips glistened with moisture, her chest heaved, and
her alluring figure looked so sweet.

Seeing her so alluring, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, instinctively pulling
her closer and capturing her lips once more. His masculine scent enveloped her as he forcefully sucked on her
swollen, red lips; her tongue no longer resisted, but instead, as if ignited by his desire, eagerly returned his kiss.

Her passionate initiative sent a shiver down Shen Tianqing's spine, driving him to ravage her tongue and lips even more frantically, fiercely
attacking and taking her softness; he felt a fierce fire burning within him, a surging tide of passion, his lower
abdomen already throbbing.

Guan Ruozi only felt his heat scorching her, his hands seemingly insatiable, demanding more and more of her;
she felt herself growing hotter and hotter, and his kisses made her dizzy and weak all over.

Shen Tianqing's warm, moist lips licked her smooth, white neck, occasionally nibbling
at her jade-like earlobe. His hot breath brushed against her sensitive shoulder, and the intimate touch sent waves of heat through her lower abdomen, causing
her to involuntarily moan softly…

Suddenly, Shen Tianqing embraced her tightly, pressing her soft body completely against his hot, strong frame.
She could even feel his burning desire pressing against her, making her blush uncontrollably.

He held her tightly, wanting to convey his overflowing love through these silent physical gestures, to make her
believe him, to let her know how he cherished her in his arms, to let her know that she was his most beloved treasure,
his priceless gem.

Then, unable to contain himself any longer, he growled, "Zi'er..." and kissed her nipple,
teasing it with his tongue...

His large hands joined in, caressing her gently and tenderly, reveling in
the warm, wonderful touch. He rubbed his body against hers, kissing his way up her
neck, her collarbone, her shoulders, her neck, her earlobes, and finally her soft lips, licking and kissing her back and forth until she could no longer
bear it and let out a soft moan...

Shen Tianqing's movements grew wilder in response to her reaction. He felt her beneath him
responding to his desire; she felt herself growing hotter and hotter, increasingly unable to bear the restlessness and emptiness within her. That
emptiness, combined with the pleasure he brought her, began to accumulate into an unbearable sensation.

Unable to endure it any longer, she finally pleaded with him, "Tianqing...love me..." Her red lips
uttered words of love, a whispered plea for him to ease her feelings of both pleasure and pain.

Shen Tianqing, already drenched in sweat, his desire beyond control, now, receiving her passionate response,
had no reason not to seize the opportunity. He straightened his upper body, placed his legs between hers, and then entered her...

The tearing pain made her cry out, large tears rolling down her cheeks. She tried to break free, but he
wouldn't let go… Although he didn't have a virginity complex, the sheer
joy and happiness he felt when he learned he was her first man was indescribable.

He loved her so much that the thought of another man touching her
filled and made him extremely unhappy. But now he realized he was her only and would be her last
man, and he was overjoyed. He was also proud to be the man who would lead her into the world of passion.

He knew her pain and immediately stopped moving inside her, wanting to give her enough time to
adjust to his presence.

But the feeling of possessing her was too pleasurable, too wonderful, and the intense desire was unbearable
for long . Her tight, tender body burned like a raging fire, as if it would melt him… making him
want to love her again…

Seeing her pained, scrunched-up face, he felt reluctant to let go,
caught in a dilemma between continuing and not continuing.

"Little Zi'er, just bear with it, it'll stop hurting soon!" he coaxed her, trying to make a move.

But the pain had already driven her mad; her resentment and anger only intensified under his coaxing
.

"You bastard! Why should I bear it? You're the one who hurt me!"

This culprit hurt her, and now he just wants to brush it off with a few words of comfort?! Look at his lustful
expression, he barely finished his comforting words before trying to move, completely ignoring her near-death experience, only thinking about
satisfying his own lust; seeing his repulsive face, I just want to punch him!

Why is God so unfair? Why does a woman's first time hurt so much, while men get so much pleasure? Bleeding is
bad enough, but it's also incredibly painful, and after the man's pleasure, the woman has to bear the risk of pregnancy. If she accidentally
gets pregnant, she has to endure excruciating pain to give birth. It's so easy for these pleasure-seeking
bastards !

"Little Zi'er, don't be like this! I know you're in pain, and I'm trying my best to bear it!"

Good heavens! He desperately wanted to move, but she glared at him fiercely,
her expression suggesting she'd teach him a lesson if he dared to move again. How could he dare to move?

It wasn't that he was truly afraid of what she might do, but seeing her in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, his
heart ached. But…who could save him? He was also caught in this unbearable pain,
unable to move! This dilemma was truly threatening to kill him!

He longed to possess her completely.

"Endure your pain!" In the throes of pain, no one cared about appearances anymore. She
gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Do you feel as much pain as I do? Besides, if it weren't for you, would I be in this much pain?"

Seeing her energetically yelling at him, Shen Tianqing realized she didn't seem to be in pain at all. He figured the pain
had gradually subsided, but the agony was too unbearable for her, hence the cursing. He could
understand, but that didn't mean he could stop. He was almost at his breaking point with this inhuman torture!

The only best way was to seal her lips with his and begin his rhythmic thrusts to relieve his pain.
Otherwise, he would become the only man in the world to die in a woman's arms!

Guan Ruozi hadn't expected her protest to be stopped by the man's act of sealing her lips. She indignantly
tried to push him away; however, even after pushing away his lips, she couldn't stop his thrusts, making her grit her teeth in anger. This
despicable lecher! She was already in so much pain, and he still dared to be so lecherous!

Seeing her fierce expression, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Were there any men as pathetic as him
? Just because he loved a woman he cherished, he had to be treated like a lecher; that was bad enough, but was his
technique really that bad, so that she couldn't feel any pleasure and could only keep crying out in pain?

"Little Zi'er, don't be like this! Try to feel it... um..." He couldn't help but groan,
too preoccupied with the sudden surge of pleasure to distract himself from comforting her.

His blissful expression infuriated Guan Ruozi. She suddenly flashed him a smile, then said
maliciously , "Fine! Since you want me to feel it, then I'll let you taste the pain you just caused me.
That's fair, isn't it?"

Her sinister words had barely left her lips when Shen Tianqing felt a bad premonition wash over him, but his
desire left him no time to think. In that instant, he saw her clench her small fist and punch him in the eye
. He stared at her in disbelief and cried out in pain.

"Damn it!" The pain in his eye made him curse under his breath.

He couldn't believe she would do such a thing! Seeing her raise her eyebrows triumphantly, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
This woman... he was truly defeated by her!

"How about that? The pain you caused me was only a fraction of what this punch was worth. You got off easy! If
you're not satisfied, I can give you another punch!"

Good heavens! Shen Tianqing couldn't help but groan inwardly. Did this woman even understand the situation? They were
making love! What was so great about her childish act of punching him?

Very well! Her arrogant and provocative behavior made all his guilt and heartache for hurting her disappear.
Now, the only thing he needed to maintain was his male pride, because he really didn't know when his bedroom skills
had deteriorated to the point where she despised him!

She didn't even care about his performance. In that case, it really was his fault. Narrowing his dangerously sharp
eyes, he said firmly, "Little Zi'er, I think you're probably not satisfied with me! Since my performance
still from beating me up, it means I'm not good enough, but this concerns my self-esteem! Besides, I'm your
man, how can I let you look down on me and think I'm so incompetent in this area? So I should improve even
more and make you look at me with new eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Ruozi suddenly felt a chill. This man had become so terrifying! She wanted to run away,
but he raised a wicked smile, and that bad look in his eyes made her start to feel scared...

"You...you shouldn't do anything rash! Don't think I'll let you hurt me again."

"So my little Zi'er is so afraid of pain?" He raised a wicked smile and said to her, "Don't worry,
I will never let you cry out in pain again. Next, I will definitely make you cry out in pleasure."

At his vow, Guan Ruozi had an urge to get away from him, but he still held her tightly.
