Zhuang Xiao followed Tu Yan closely. Although she was completely blank in terms of emotions, her complicated upbringing had taught her to read people's expressions. Although Tu Yan looked calm and didn't say a word, she could vaguely guess that he was unhappy.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Xiao tried to explain, "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement, allowing me to meet you, get close to you, and know your goodness..."

"My good?" Tu Yan let out a cold laugh and glanced at Zhuang Xiao. "Is it better to doubt your ill intentions when we meet for the first time, or to be played around by you?"

Zhuang Xiao stared at Tu Yan blankly. As the male protagonist, he had a nearly perfect appearance, deep features, and a noble temperament. But this perfection also made him seem a little unreal, like a marble statue, which was daunting.

“No…” Zhuang Xiao felt alienated for the first time. In her memory, Tu Yan was always so angry that he jumped up and down. A few sweet words could make him explode, but he was also kind-hearted…

Just like that, unexpectedly, the lively Tu Yan showed his coldest and hardest side, which made Zhuang Xiao feel heartbroken.

This bitterness made her unable to even come up with those witty remarks to cheer him up, and she could only let the atmosphere between the two of them become stagnant.

Tu Yan stared into her eyes, as if he was stung by his words. His big, round pupils were watery and the area around his eyes was red, set off by his fair skin, as if she was the one who had suffered a great injustice.

Tu Yan felt depressed and annoyed. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The cold wine drowned out his complicated emotions.

Tu Yan's eyes returned to their coldness, and he stood up slowly, "It's getting late."

Zhuang Xiao stood up. She knew she was in the wrong and was too embarrassed to continue to argue. "I'll leave right away..."

Tu Yan looked at Zhuang Xiao, who was wearing a bathrobe and frantically trying to get something. A section of her snow-white calf was exposed from the seam of her bathrobe. Was she planning to go out like this?! ?

Tu Yan took a deep breath, barely suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Follow me."

Zhuang Xiao paused while shoving things into his bag and turned around. Under the dim light of the atmosphere, Tu Yan was standing sideways. His expression was a little unclear, but his facial features, as if they were carefully carved, were extremely deep and attractive.

Tu Yanzheng tilted his head to look at her. His height of nearly 1.9 meters made his gaze lofty, as if he could scan her soul through her skin, which was both compelling and real.

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a while before she understood what Tu Yan meant. She smiled like a flower, and her depressed mood was swept away. She looked straight at Tu Yan with bright eyes, "Thank you, Mr. Tu!"

Tu Yan didn't reply, turned and walked into the bedroom, and Zhuang Xiao followed happily.

When the bright lights are turned on, the spacious space is filled with exquisiteness. The huge curved floor-to-ceiling windows almost cover the entire exterior wall. Not only can you take in half of the city, but you can also see the colorful lake and lush tree shadows.

With just a glance, Zhuang Xiao immediately realized that this was not a guest room, but Tu Yan's master bedroom. He looked at Tu Yan with some confusion.

Before Zhuang Xiao could ask, Tu Yan's low and cold voice came, "There is only one bedroom here, you live in it, and I will sleep in the study."

Zhuang Xiao looked up in surprise. She knew Tu Yan's fussy habits, and was even more aware of his concern for his own territory and boundaries. She subconsciously felt that something was wrong, "How about... I should just leave..."

"Where are you going?" Tu Yan's voice was as cold as ice. "It's not certain whether the boy remembers you or not. How dare you bother him in the middle of the night?"

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a while before he realized that Tu Yan was talking about Shao Quan. He laughed and said, "It's okay. Shao Quan is a nice person. He would open the door for me even if he didn't know me..."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. As soon as she said it, Tu Yan's face darkened, and a subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. The gaze he gave her was as sharp as a sharp sword. "Oh, he's a good person, but I have bad intentions."

"How could it be?!" Zhuang Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly smiled, "In my heart, no one is better than you, Mr. Tu."

"I just can't bear to let you sleep in the study. It's raining this night. If you catch a cold, it's you who's sick, but I'm the one feeling the pain." Zhuang Xiao said as she tentatively reached out to hold his sleeve and shook it gently. "Don't be mad at me. I'm just saying that. I'm reluctant but willing. In my heart, I can't wait to stay with you!"

"So hypocritical." Tu Yan's voice was cold and hard, his eyes fell on her pink and white fingers, but he did not shake off her hand after all.

Zhuang Xiao was greatly encouraged, and he came to his side, blinking his eyes and said, "It's unfair, I said the truth, it's truer than gold."

The sweet voice flowed into Tu Yan's ears, burning his earlobes and making them itch. He avoided Zhuang Xiao's sight uncomfortably, "Okay, it's getting late, you should rest first."

After saying this, Tu Yan turned around and was about to leave without waiting for Zhuang Xiao's consent.

Zhuang Xiao saw that the atmosphere between the two had finally eased a little, so how could he let him go?

If she didn't coax him into submission, and wait until he got angry and started to have wild thoughts, and then acted cold and ruthless towards her, all her kindness over the past few months would have been in vain.

Zhuang Xiao grabbed Tu Yan's hand without hesitation. The moment their skin touched, a long-lost electronic sound rang in his mind, "Your health will increase by two days."

Zhuang Xiao was delighted and looked down. Tu Yan's shirt was casually rolled up, revealing part of his forearm. It proved that his slender body, usually wrapped in a formal suit, was quite attractive. Tu Yan's forearm was thicker than hers, and veins were faintly visible under the smooth muscle lines. The heavy heat was transmitted through the skin, causing Zhuang Xiao's heart to beat twice more unconsciously.

This was reflected in the fact that Zhuang Xiao went further and wrapped Tu Yan's hands tightly with both of his own.

Tu Yan didn't even try to break free. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhuang Xiao finally realized what she had done and quickly let go of her hand. Her life was in danger. How could she be so lustful and take advantage of him? !

Tu Yan's hand, which had regained its freedom, fell back to his side and was clenched into a fist. The slightly cool and soft touch seemed to still linger in his palm.

Zhuang Xiao saw that Tu Yan had clenched his fists and was panicking. He hurriedly said, "I, I really didn't mean it! I've never drunk such a strong drink. I just felt dizzy and was anxious..."

Zhuang Xiao couldn't continue speaking halfway through. She felt a little disgusted with herself. Using alcohol as an excuse, if the gender was switched, it would be the behavior of a complete scumbag.

He took advantage of the alcohol to take advantage of others and refused to admit it afterwards!

After a struggle between his conscience and his own, Zhuang Xiao finally had his conscience take over. He hung his head in shame and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

Tu Yan lowered his eyelashes and just watched calmly with a complicated look in his eyes. He turned and left without saying a word.
