Chapter 579: Being Your Man

“I just miss you. What can you do about it!” Qiao Chuxi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it rang clearly in Xiao Yufan’s ears like thunder, leaving him momentarily stunned.

“Then should I thank you, Miss Qiao?”

Facing those beautiful eyes, Xiao Yufan was momentarily at a loss for words. He understood her feelings all too well, yet he was unsure how to accept her tenderness.

“Dead man, as if I need your thanks! Can’t you just be a little more sincere?”

A slight smile graced Qiao Chuxi’s lips, forming a beautiful curve. Coming to Zifeng Apartment had taken a great deal of courage on her part. After so much time lost, she didn’t want to miss out on this feeling anymore.

There was no denying Xiao Yufan’s excellence, otherwise he wouldn’t have so many outstanding women around him. If she didn’t take the initiative, this rogue might never understand her feelings.

“Sincere, you say?”

His lips twitched slightly, and Xiao Yufan secretly smiled bitterly. This was moving too fast, wasn’t it? Was it really this exciting? Maybe taking this woman would be quite sincere indeed…

“You’re driving me crazy. It seems that after disappearing for so long, someone’s EQ has regressed!”

Qiao Chuxi’s face flushed red. This was the first time she had shown such a feminine side to a man. Yet this rogue remained unmoved. Didn’t she have any charm left? That couldn’t be right. Even she, who was usually so confident, began to doubt herself.

Undeniably, Qiao Chuxi’s feelings for Xiao Yufan had accumulated gradually. From their first meeting to now, they had experienced many things together. During the time Xiao Yufan was gone, she had missed him every day, hoping he would reappear soon.

Every time she saw the women around Xiao Yufan, their faces showing both worry and happiness, she wished she could be one of his women too.

Now that Xiao Yufan was back, her heart had slowly opened. She didn’t want to hide her feelings anymore, hence this moment.

If Xiao Yufan still didn’t understand now, he would truly be an idiot. A strange sense of emotion and warmth rose within him. Looking at her charming face filled with gentle coquettishness, the softest part of his heart was deeply touched.

The distance between them quickly closed. Xiao Yufan lowered his gaze to meet Qiao Chuxi’s eyes, then pressed his lips onto hers…

Qiao Chuxi felt her mind go blank. Had this man stolen her first kiss? Yet at this moment, she felt no resistance at all. Instead, she actually enjoyed this feeling, her delicate hands tightly embracing his strong back.

Although the winter wind was a bit piercing, Qiao Chuxi felt a warm current surging through her body. If her movements were initially somewhat awkward, soon she began to respond passionately.

Mmm…

After several minutes, Qiao Chuxi felt she could hardly breathe, so she slowly loosened her arms, her tiptoed feet gradually returning to the ground. However, that moan-like sound still made her face flush hotly.

Their lips parted. Seeing Qiao Chuxi’s face with a touch of enchanting charm, Xiao Yufan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he was destined to have an endless emotional debt. If this woman had no feelings for him, even if the most beautiful woman in the world offered herself to him, he wouldn’t be moved.

After all, Xiao Yufan wasn’t someone who made decisions based on lust. But Qiao Chuxi was different. The feeling between them had been planted from the very beginning…

“Does this count as being sincere enough?”

Now that he had figured this out, Xiao Yufan naturally had no more hesitation. He smiled mischievously. Considering how close Qiao Chuxi already was to the other women, taking her in wouldn’t cause any of the other women to feel upset.

“Mmm…”

At this moment, Qiao Chuxi suddenly burst into tears. Xiao Yufan’s smile froze instantly, and he felt a sense of helplessness. How could this woman’s mood change so quickly? Had he misunderstood her intentions?

“Chuxi, what’s wrong? I’m sorry, I…”

“Fool, who asked you to apologize? I’m just so happy. I thought you would never accept me. Do you know how much I missed you during the time you were gone?”

Hearing Xiao Yufan speak, Qiao Chuxi gently wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice now carrying a touch of languor. Although the Qiao family had merged into the Glory Group, how tiring it must have been for her, a single woman, to hold up the Qiao family all by herself.

Simple words carried touching tenderness, and Xiao Yufan’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps he had always overlooked this woman’s feelings. Although she often opposed him, wasn’t that just her way of trying to get his attention?

“Chuxi, let me be your man. Let me take on the responsibility you’ve been carrying…”

His hand gently stroking her soft hair, Xiao Yufan’s eyes revealed a hint of affection. Qiao Chuxi’s beauty was absolutely no less than the others’, and she had the same kind of charm as Yanran, Yi Han, and Liu Hua.

Such a woman would be a goddess in the eyes of many men, yet this excellent woman had become part of Xiao Yufan’s harem. How could he not be delighted?

“Mm!” She nodded heavily, a trace of smile appearing on her face. Grandpa had urged her more than once to find a good place to settle down. Now she only wanted to tell Grandpa that she had finally found her own happiness.

“Just now, our Miss Qiao said she was just passing by. Do you still have something else to do? If so, go ahead!”

Xiao Yufan remembered Qiao Chuxi’s earlier words and teased her slightly. With their emotional knots untied, their hearts had slowly changed, which was exactly what Xiao Yufan wanted to see.

“Rogue, you bad guy! If you believed everything I said, why didn’t you believe me before?”

Now Qiao Chuxi looked more like a small woman, her every word and action filled with coquettish charm. Under that extremely enchanting gaze, Xiao Yufan’s heart rippled once again. Now that he had decided to take this girl, he should find time to take her completely…

If she knew what Xiao Yufan was thinking, Qiao Chuxi would probably be even more embarrassed. It turned out that it wasn’t that she lacked charm, but that this rogue had hidden his feelings too deeply…
