“Pervert, why did you say we were on a date in front of Xiao Dao…”
After Nie Xiaodao walked away, Nie Shiyun’s lips curled into a delicate pout. Although her heart had fluttered with a hint of sweetness when Xiao Yufan mentioned their date, she couldn’t help but feel that this little pervert was brazenly taking advantage of her.
“Even if I didn’t say it, Xiaodao could tell anyway. Besides, I don’t think Xiaodao minds at all,” Xiao Yufan replied helplessly. He had no idea when he had been given the nickname ‘pervert,’ but somehow, when Nie Shiyun said it, it felt different.
“You’re still talking! Because of you, people will misunderstand us…”
“Misunderstand us doing what?” Xiao Yufan shamelessly interrupted. If he was going to pursue a woman, he might as well embrace the philosophy that shamelessness is invincibility. Besides, she was an incredibly beautiful woman.
“I don’t feel like talking to you…”
Giving Xiao Yufan a seductive glance, Nie Shiyun then lowered her head to focus on her food. Compared to bantering with him, she preferred eating. Her graceful movements felt perfectly natural, as if this woman was always so serene and composed.
Of course, Xiao Yufan’s teasing was an exception. In front of him, Nie Shiyun always unconsciously revealed another side of her personality…
“Sister Shiyun, you’re so beautiful…”
Swallowing hard, Xiao Yufan openly expressed his admiration. Nie Shiyun’s beauty rivaled any woman by his side, with a mature charm that was utterly captivating.
“So, tell me, where exactly is Sister Shiyun beautiful?” Her eyes sparkled with a flirtatious glint as Nie Shiyun giggled, drawing the attention of everyone around. This woman’s beauty was enough to topple nations, and even her laughter was enchanting.
“Your…” Xiao Yufan hesitated for a moment before barely managing to utter a single word. At his response, Nie Shiyun’s face flushed again, and her gaze instinctively shifted to her ample bosom.
“Are they really that nice to look at?” Nie Shiyun murmured to herself, but Xiao Yufan’s sharp senses caught every word. Instantly, he felt his legs weaken—this was truly a blatant temptation…
“They’re beautiful…” Almost unconsciously, Xiao Yufan responded. He had to admit, Sister Shiyun had an amazing figure, flawless in every way. Any notion of the ideal golden proportions paled in comparison to Nie Shiyun.
“Flatterer! You dare flirt with your sister like this? I should find an opportunity to let Tianxuan and Qingluan rein you in!”
If anyone else had said such things, Nie Shiyun would have slapped them without hesitation. But with Xiao Yufan, she actually felt quite pleased. At least she knew she still had an attraction to this man…
“Why not let Sister Shiyun be the one to discipline me? If that were the case, I promise I’d be very obedient!”
For some reason, Xiao Yufan thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. From the very beginning, he had felt an unusual familiarity with Nie Shiyun, as if this woman was destined to share an inseparable bond with him.
“You really want me to discipline you?”
Nie Shiyun hesitated, her face turning crimson all the way to her ears. Yet, her gaze was unusually serious, as if discussing something of great importance. The longer she spent by Xiao Yufan’s side, the more she felt herself slowly losing her sense of self. At the very least, she no longer knew how to define her position in their relationship.
“I do!” Without hesitation, Xiao Yufan blurted out. Although he had many women, Nie Shiyun was the only one he truly wanted to pursue seriously.
“Just hearing you say that is enough…” Smiling gently, Nie Shiyun laughed again, though this time it carried a sense of relief and understanding.
“You might have misunderstood me, Sister Shiyun. What I mean is, I want you to be my woman!”
A moment later, Xiao Yufan spoke again. No matter how Nie Shiyun felt, he wanted to express his truest thoughts. As expected, Nie Shiyun looked startled at his words, her expression quickly turning flustered. She dared not meet Xiao Yufan’s gaze directly.
“Y-you… you’re making me think…” Nie Shiyun had never expected Xiao Yufan to confess to her in such a situation. Indeed, this was a confession, and it came completely out of the blue. She felt both thrilled and anxious.
“It’s okay. I can give Sister Shiyun all the time you need!”
Xiao Yufan also realized his words had been abrupt. Even he himself didn’t know why he had said them. It was true he loved Sister Shiyun, but he didn’t want to disturb her peaceful life. Moreover, he wasn’t sure whether this rather traditional woman could accept the reality of his having other women around him.
Nodding, Nie Shiyun didn’t speak further, her face flushed. She felt a sense of shyness, as if the question she had asked Xiao Yufan moments ago had been so embarrassing…
In the gentle atmosphere, the two quickly finished their meal. After bidding farewell to the old man, they left the food street. Throughout the entire time, Nie Shiyun kept her head lowered, seemingly deep in thought.
“Walk with me a little longer…”
Rubbing his nose, Xiao Yufan looked like a child who had done something wrong. If members of the Dark Gate saw their young master like this, they would surely be shocked beyond belief. But Xiao Yufan was no saint—he naturally had emotions and desires.
They walked aimlessly forward. Although neither spoke again, the silence between them felt harmonious. At the very least, Xiao Yufan could feel their hearts drawing closer than before…
Nie Shiyun had imagined countless times how her ideal man would appear before her—would he arrive riding clouds of seven colors or atop a white horse? Yet she had never imagined that the confession she had always longed for would come in such an unexpected way.
“Should I accept him? But wouldn’t that be giving in too easily to this pervert?” Her face burned as Nie Shiyun thought. She was a traditional woman, and that was why she had remained single, untouched like jade, despite having so many suitors.
Xiao Yufan’s presence had indeed touched the softest part of her heart. At the very least, this man gave her a sense of security she had never experienced before. After all, she had only ever relied on Nie Xiaodao, so she deeply disliked the feeling of instability and wandering…
Perhaps sensing Nie Shiyun’s emotional fluctuations, Xiao Yufan coughed dryly, as if to gather his courage. Slowly, his hand found its way to her warm, delicate frame. Lost in thought, Nie Shiyun shivered slightly at his touch…
