Kissing a girl so passionately and intensely like today was a first for Si Yechen! After what felt like an eternity, he released her and said, "Not bad, indeed."
"..." Qing Yan was starting to get annoyed. She wondered about the taste. Wasn't there another cup of floral tea over there?!
Did this guy bring her here just to make it more convenient to do something naughty?
"If you lay another hand on me, I won't come next time," Qing Yan warned.
"Hmm?"
"I won't have meals with you anymore either," Qing Yan knew that his habit of being handsy couldn't be changed. She had to nip it in the bud.
Minimize the number of meetings, reduce their alone time...
Si Yechen glanced at her, observing her eyes. "Are you angry?"
Seeing Qing Yan's lack of response, Si Yechen softly asked, "Did I not perform that kiss well and make you angry?"
"You..."
Si Yechen pressed his lips against hers again, savoring the sweetness bit by bit.
Beside them, Qiuyue was truly amazed. It seemed like Mr. Si really liked this girl, liked her to the core...
He effortlessly uttered such words of affection, and it didn't seem out of place at all!
After being kissed by him, Qing Yan was genuinely embarrassed. "Si Yechen!"
The butler was standing nearby, and the position they were in was too ambiguous. She really wanted to step away!
"Did I still not perform this kiss well? Hmm?" Si Yechen's nose gently brushed against hers, his blurred eyes still filled with unspent affection.
Qing Yan didn't want to answer that question.
Si Yechen kissed her once again. After an unknown amount of time, he paused and asked, "Will you come next time?"
"..."
"Hmm?" Si Yechen continued pecking her lips. "Will you still have meals with me?"
"..." Qing Yan was truly amazed. "Si Yechen, you're becoming shameless."
"Only shameless in front of you." Si Yechen kissed her again and said, "And also, I want to be even more shameless..."
"..."
"Will you come or not? Hmm?" Si Yechen insisted on getting the answer he wanted.
Feeling somewhat irritated, Qing Yan said, "It depends on my mood."
"And how's your mood?" Si Yechen asked between kisses. "What would make it better?"
"First, let me step away."
Si Yechen seemed to understand. "It looks like you don't like it here."
"You finally figured it out!"
Si Yechen lifted her up and walked upstairs step by step. "Then let's go somewhere else."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Just for a visit."
Qing Yan was taken upstairs to a clean, tidy, and elegant room. Before turning on the lights, outside the large glass wall was a crescent-shaped lake, as beautiful as a fairyland from a fairy tale.
"Yan Yan..." Si Yechen's voice was particularly seductive. "I want to help you adapt to married life in advance."
"..." Qing Yan pushed against his strong chest. "If you behave inappropriately again, I'll be really angry."
"Then how about a little sweet moment first?" Si Yechen pecked her lips a few times. "The days are long, and the wait is hard."
"..." Qing Yan let him kiss her for a while before saying, "Put me down."
Her feet hadn't touched the floor of his house yet!
"You haven't answered my question just now." Si Yechen held onto her without letting go. "Will you come again in the future?"
"..."
"Hmm? Will you come or not?"
Qing Yan gritted her teeth. "I'll come."
"Then will you have meals with me? Hmm?" Si Yechen insisted on getting an answer.
Qing Yan could only endure and say, "I will."
Si Yechen smiled and finally let her down. "Look outside the window."
Qing Yan had noticed the crescent-shaped lake earlier, and under the moonlight, she also saw the flowers and plants near the lake, which were as beautiful as a fairyland.
"What kind of flowers do you like?" Si Yechen hugged her from behind, admiring her beautiful profile. "I want to transform every flower, grass, tree, and shrub here into something you like."
Perhaps then she would like this home more, and like him more.
"Qingmu said that girls like roses." Si Yechen's gaze fell on the scenery outside. "I wanted to plant ninety-nine different varieties of roses here before you arrived, but I was afraid you wouldn't like them."
Qing Yan's heart seemed to be moved, like a bud quietly blooming.
"Our home will be yours to decide, and you can choose what flowers and plants to have," Si Yechen asked with a lowered head. "Tell me what you like."
Qing Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a particular favorite flower, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Tibetan Plateau gentian."
Not the enchanting rose, nor the proud plum blossom, not the pink cherry blossoms, nor the blue lavender...
"Do you know the meaning of the Tibetan Plateau gentian?" Si Yechen softly asked in her ear.
"Hmm?"
"Compassion for the person in front of you," Si Yechen whispered gently, "The Tibetan Plateau gentian represents happiness and beauty."
Living in a home surrounded by happiness and beauty, their relationship will surely flourish.
"What about this home?" Si Yechen continued to inquire, "Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
"You," Qing Yan glanced at him, "Can you behave a little better in the future?"
"Perhaps not," Si Yechen encircled her slender waist, kissing her more greedily, his voice falling softly in her ear, "I have already shown considerable restraint."
"..."
Qingmu didn't know how long it had been when he finished his meal outside, returned to the villa's entrance, and waited anxiously, but Lord Chen and Miss Qing Yan never came out.
He raised his hand to check the time, and it was already nine in the evening!
Once Lord Chen is with Miss Qing Yan, he forgets about time. Qingmu couldn't rush them, so he continued to wait outside.
"Assistant Qing," Qiu Yue walked out of the gate kindly, smiling respectfully, "Come inside and have a cup of hot tea. It seems Mr. and Mrs. are not coming out so soon... I can tell you, the old master's emotional barrier is about to be resolved, and there is hope for Mr.'s marriage!"
No matter how the old master tried to arrange a marriage between Mr. and Miss Yusha, Mr. paid no attention to it before.
Now he seems to be very fond of his wife.
"Uncle Qiu, you don't know how satisfied the old master is with Miss Qing Yan. He even gave her that necklace."
"Are you talking about one of the dowries of the old lady, the crown necklace?" Qiu Yue was astonished. He didn't expect the girl, who appeared so young, to gain the approval of the Si family so quickly.
Entering the Si family is not that simple...
"Yes," Qingmu followed Qiu Yue inside and smiled, "Lord Chen himself said that he will only marry Miss Qing Yan in this lifetime."
Qiu Yue was even more shocked, "What about the Li family..."
"Oh, you mean Miss Yusha? Lord Chen doesn't like her," Qingmu didn't expose her true identity as a fake rich girl, instead, he said, "Miss Qing Yan is also from the Li family, and both families approve of this marriage."
"That's good, that's good..." Qiu Yue was relieved, worrying that the two families might become estranged, and he exclaimed, "In the end, we are all one family. That's fate, fate..."
