"G-Get away!"
Qian Ruixin's voice shook, her delicate hands struggling against Wang Xiao's iron-tight grip. He leaned closer, his shadow casting over her like a stormcloud.
"Not until you kiss me," he murmured, his voice calm, yet filled with a rhythm that made her pulse race.
"!"
Her face flushed, and she glared at him, but her nervous glance darted toward Li Xiaoqing, sleeping peacefully on the bed. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, bathing her mother-in-law in an ethereal glow.
"Xiao Wang, stop joking!" she hissed. "If she wakes up—"
"If she wakes up…" Wang Xiao's lips curled into a dangerous smile,"Then we'll deal with her together."
Her breath hitched. "You're— insane"
"Perhaps," he said without hesitation, his tone as steady as the earth. His eyes flicked to Li Xiaoqing's motionless figure. "But insanity serves me well in a world where I fear no one."
