“I think you will definitely tell me…”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly anxious, although he was eager to know who had plotted against him.
“Are you really that confident I will tell you? Don’t forget, I’m a killer. From a killer’s perspective, revealing my client is considered betrayal. In the assassin alliance, such betrayal leads to relentless pursuit and elimination!”
With a graceful flick of her long flowing hair, Dongfang Yanran smiled gently, her enticing lips curving into a beautiful smile…
“This isn’t confidence, it’s trust!”
The moonlight was slightly chilly as the two stood on the rooftop terrace, creating an eerie atmosphere in the night. Dongfang Yanran slightly lifted her delicate nose, strands of hair fluttering beside her cheeks in the gentle breeze, adding to her seductive charm.
Dressed in tight black attire, her perfect figure was fully revealed—her waist slender enough to encircle with one’s hands, her beauty flawless. At this moment, Dongfang Yanran seemed like a celestial fairy fallen to earth, exuding an ethereal aura untouched by worldly concerns.
Tonight, Dongfang Yanran gave Xiao Yufan an entirely different impression compared to usual. In fact, Xiao Yufan couldn’t even describe what exactly felt different about her…
“Trust?”
She murmured softly. Before Xiao Yufan could react, her graceful figure suddenly lunged toward him, and a strange, intoxicating atmosphere began to swirl between them.
In an instant, Dongfang Yanran’s fragrant, warm lips met his, silencing unspoken words in a passionate kiss filled with emotion. This was the first time they had ever been so intimately close in all the time they had known each other.
From the moment they met until now, every scene flashed through Xiao Yufan’s mind. He had overlooked her feelings all along. Their relationship had always been in a delicate state, with neither of them taking the first step forward. Yet Dongfang Yanran had always openly expressed her emotions from the very beginning.
Feeling Dongfang Yanran’s awkward and inexperienced kiss, Xiao Yufan slowly regained his senses. His slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth, greedily tasting her unique essence…
The desire he had barely restrained earlier was rekindled by Dongfang Yanran. Instinctively, his hands reached for her full, supple mounds…
A soft moan escaped her lips. Xiao Yufan then withdrew his hands, although the sensation had been incredibly pleasurable. Dongfang Yanran’s figure was stunning, rivaling even that of Lin Jiayao and the others.
“You pervert! Where do you think you’re touching? You say you don’t like me, but your actions have already betrayed you…”
Her teeth playfully nipped at his tongue. Xiao Yufan suddenly felt her warmth leave his arms as Dongfang Yanran stepped back. She had never allowed any man to touch her before. Those who had dared to even think about it had never lived to see the next day.
“Is that so? It seems like someone was deliberately tempting me. I guess my resistance just lowers around beautiful women…”
Though slightly embarrassed, Xiao Yufan quickly regained his composure. Recalling what had just happened, his smile became warmer. This woman was truly a temptation beyond measure, nearly causing him to lose control.
“Then, do you want to try again?”
She provocatively thrust her chest forward slightly, Dongfang Yanran’s eyes twinkling mischievously, her previous shyness now replaced with boldness. After all, he had already touched her once—what harm could a second time do?
“Heaven help me, this little enchantress is going to be the death of me!”
Xiao Yufan dramatically sighed, shaking his head. He didn’t want to do anything rash later, but Dongfang Yanran’s current seductive allure was truly a crime against self-control—at least against his.
“Now, you should tell me who wants me dead, right?”
If he stayed with Dongfang Yanran any longer, Xiao Yufan feared he would lose his mind. With her so enticing tonight, he worried he might end up taking her right there on the rooftop.
“Gaohong, one of the Three Northern Young Lords. He offered a bounty of fifty million. It turns out my man is so valuable. I almost got tempted…”
With a playful laugh, Dongfang Yanran finally spoke, her tone teasing. Gaohong probably never imagined that Fengying Fenghuang would be so familiar with Xiao Yufan—and even more unimaginable, that she longed to become his woman.
“Is that all I’m worth—fifty million?”
Hearing Gaohong’s name, Xiao Yufan furrowed his brow slightly. He knew quite a bit about the Three Northern Young Lords, and naturally knew all the details about Gaohong.
Whether it was Situ Wenchang or Luan Tianyu, the leader of the Northern Three Young Lords, they were all considered outstanding among their generation, each having earned their place through merit.
But Gaohong was merely a spoiled aristocrat. His position among the Northern Three Young Lords was solely due to his family background. No wonder Bai Xiaozhuo disliked this guy so much—his recent actions alone proved how foolish he was.
“Your life is worth far more than his ever will be…”
Dongfang Yanran had only come here to warn Xiao Yufan, of course. Gaohong would likely never have another chance to harm Xiao Yufan again.
“Living comfortably in a golden house with your little sweetheart—whether in the capital or Linjiang, you’re enjoying life more than anyone else. Go be with your wife already…”
Since her purpose had been fulfilled, Dongfang Yanran naturally had other matters to attend to. How could she possibly let Gaohong off so easily for daring to target her man?
Before Xiao Yufan could say anything else, Dongfang Yanran had already vanished from the rooftop. She was a clever woman, knowing precisely when to cling to a man and when to let go…
Feeling her unique aura gradually fade away, Xiao Yufan shook his head. Although tonight had brought them closer, he sensed something else—that this woman wouldn’t be easy to control.
But thinking too much wouldn’t help. Xiao Yufan turned and walked down from the rooftop, returning to his room.
The room was quiet, and Xiao Yufan didn’t wake Jiang Rou, as she had to return to the capital the next day. Still, he struggled to suppress the desire burning within him.
“If it weren’t for that little enchantress, I wouldn’t have been this flustered tonight…”
Thinking about Dongfang Yanran’s untimely interruption, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat annoyed. She had directly ruined his moment. Next time, he would definitely get even with her—and recalling the pleasurable sensation of his touch, he found himself almost intoxicated again.
Meanwhile, after leaving the hotel, Dongfang Yanran headed straight toward the Gao residence. She had started the job, but not finished it yet. However, the payment still needed to be collected…
