With Tianxuan taking care of things nearby, Xiao Yufan was able to relax somewhat. Although he hadn’t approached Qing Luan directly, his gaze remained fixed on that girl…
Qing Luan’s stubbornness touched the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart, but he didn’t reveal any excess emotion. He knew that even the slightest expression that might mislead her would lead to outcomes he did not wish to see.
Just as Xiao Yufan was somewhat distracted, a low groan reached his ears. A moment ago, Qing Luan had seemed fine, but now she had suddenly stopped in her tracks…
“Stay still, don’t move…”
Mustering his courage, Xiao Yufan walked over. Seeing Qing Luan pretending to want to walk away, he felt somewhat speechless—this girl really saw him as some kind of ferocious beast.
“Why should I listen to you? I don’t need you to take care of me!”
Though her words were sharp, Qing Luan still stopped moving. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yufan’s furrowed brows, and a faint smile curved her lips.
“Does it hurt?”
Gently placing his hand on Qing Luan’s ankle, Xiao Yufan glanced up at her blushing face, his expression carrying a hint of reproach.
“If it does hurt, it’s none of your business. Don’t you hate me anyway?”
Qing Luan’s voice was very soft, barely audible—only Xiao Yufan could hear it clearly. Obviously, she was still somewhat upset, but she didn’t rudely shake his hand away.
“Can you still walk forward? We’re not far from the mountaintop…”
Looking ahead at the somewhat rugged path, Xiao Yufan felt exasperated. Stuck halfway up the mountain, neither able to ascend nor descend, he couldn’t help suspecting that this girl might have done it on purpose.
“Can you really keep walking? If not, you can just leave me here. After all, following someone around just makes them annoyed anyway!”
The warm, smooth sensation in his palm made Qing Luan feel a bit comfortable. Feeling the strange glances from Tianxuan and the others, her face flushed, and she dared not raise her head. Instead, she shifted her gaze to the distant horizon.
“I’ll carry you. We’re almost at the top anyway…”
This seemed the only solution. Without waiting for Qing Luan’s agreement, Xiao Yufan simply lifted her onto his back. As her soft body brushed against him, a surge of desire instantly rose within him.
Not expecting Xiao Yufan to be so bold, Qing Luan involuntarily wriggled slightly. In that moment, she had completely forgotten her anger and could only rest her head against his shoulder.
“Miss, if you keep moving like this, I’m afraid I really won’t be able to control myself…”
Already somewhat stirred by the beauty beside him, Qing Luan’s squirming further ignited his most primal desires. His body stiffened, and he could only clear his throat awkwardly to hide his embarrassment.
“I’ll move on purpose. Who told you to have such poor self-control…”
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Qing Luan’s face turned even redder. After confirming that Tianxuan and the others weren’t mocking her, she playfully struck back slightly.
“You win. Just wait—don’t let me get my chance, or…”
“Or what will you do to me? Are you going to have your way with me in front of Vice President Yu? If you really want to, I won’t say no…”
Wanting to get back at Xiao Yufan, Qing Luan’s lips curled into a beautiful smile. Even so, after speaking those words, the blush on her face spread all the way to her ears.
There was no further reply—arguing with this girl seemed to bring Xiao Yufan no advantage. No one who saw Qing Luan’s angelic face would ever imagine she had a devilish side as well.
Enduring the torturous sensation on his back, the group finally slowly climbed to the top. The feeling of solid ground beneath his feet made Xiao Yufan involuntarily exhale in relief…
Suddenly feeling a loosening on his back, when he realized what was happening, his heart skipped a beat—he fell straight down. This girl was definitely going to be furious…
