The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Sister, I swear to God, if I have uttered even the slightest lie, may I die a horrible death. I truly hope to be with you forever. As for ( ) girl, I will handle things properly and will never let her affect our relationship."

Shi Meitong trembled slightly, her anger gradually subsided by Chen Xuan's words, but she was still unwilling.

After all, Chen Xuan was going to devour the entire Yun family.

"How can I trust you? You can say such absurd things today; who knows what you might do to betray me in the future? And what if she knew you had such outrageous ideas..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately realized that Shi Meitong had softened her heart because of what he had said.

And when a woman softens her heart...

"Mrs."

Chen Xuan hugged Shi Meitong tighter, gently resting his chin on the top of her head: "Madam Yun, give me a chance to prove myself. From today onwards, I will show you with my actions that no one can match your importance in my heart. If I fail, you may do as you please."

Nestled in Chen Xuan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, Shi Meitong felt a mix of emotions. She struggled a few times, but didn't try to break free. Feeling wronged, she began to sob softly.

As for why Chen Xuan changed how he addressed her, she didn't care much at the moment.

Even though she possessed a much higher cultivation level than Chen Xuan, for some reason, when facing him, she just couldn't help but want to...

Chen Xuan gently patted her back and whispered comforting words in her ear. The room was filled with an ambiguous and complicated atmosphere. Shi Meitong's figure, illuminated by the candlelight, was dreamlike and enchanting, making Chen Xuan's heart flutter even more.

“Madam, it’s getting late. Let me keep you company tonight,” Chen Xuan said softly, gently placing his hands on Shi Meitong’s shoulders and slowly turning her around.

Shi Meitong tilted her head slightly, looking at Chen Xuan with a mixture of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.

The next morning, Shi Meitong nestled in Chen Xuan's arms and sobbed.

"Waaaaah, if I had known... you were this kind of person, I... I wouldn't have dressed up like this, waaaaaah!"

"Ahem, well, you can't blame me for this. It's just that your beauty mark under your eye is so beautiful, I just... couldn't help myself, hehe, I just couldn't help myself!"

"Waaaaah, tell me yourself, weren't you just using me? You've been ordering me around the whole time, never considering my feelings at all, waaaaah!"

Chen Xuan sighed when he saw Shi Meitong crying.

"Dear sister, from the moment I met you, I knew that you were someone I would never forget in this life." Chen Xuan's voice grew deeper and deeper, filled with deep affection.

Shi Meitong raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "You, you say such nice things, but that's not how you act! If you ever betray me, I'll... I'll!"

"Don't worry, sister. I, Chen Xuan, swear to heaven that I will never let you down in this life." Chen Xuan said solemnly, raising his right hand as if making a vow.

Seeing his expression, Shi Meitong felt a little better: "Alright, alright, let's forget about the vow. I hope you're not just trying to make me happy."

Chen Xuan gently stroked her hair and comforted her, "Sister, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, let me prove my love for you with my actions."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan slowly lowered his head.

"Go away, go away, and now you've gotten yourself into this mess... Humph!"

"Uh, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'll open the cork for you right now, sister." Chen Xuan said, and then put his plan into action.

I stopped listening to the popping sound because there was more to come.

Finally, as the sun rose high in the sky and it was nearing noon, Chen Xuan arrived at the venue to maintain order.

As for Shi Meitong, she returned to the villa where the Yun family lived.

Shi Meitong returned to the Yun family's villa. Just as she stepped across the threshold, she bumped into Yun Ziling. Yun Ziling looked anxious, scrutinizing Shi Meitong from head to toe.

"Where did you go last night? I looked for you all night, I was so worried!" Yun Ziling grabbed Shi Meitong's arm and shook it incessantly.

Shi Meitong paused slightly, a hint of unease flashing across her face, but she quickly regained her composure, coughing lightly twice to try and make her voice sound normal.

"I...I chatted with Chen Xuan a bit longer last night, and before I knew it, it was quite late, so I stayed at his place to rest."

Yun Ziling blinked, keenly noticing the unusual quality in Shi Meitong's voice, and frowned slightly: "Why is your voice so hoarse? Is something wrong?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to feel Shi Meitong's pulse and check her temperature.

Shi Meitong subconsciously took a step back, dodging Yun Ziling's hand, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I probably just talked too much last night and my throat is a little sore. Don't worry."

Yun Ziling, however, refused to let it go, her eyes revealing suspicion, "Is that really all? ( ), don't hide it from me. What exactly happened between you and Chen Xuan? You stayed at his place last night, a lone man and a lone woman..."

Yun Ziling's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't quite bring herself to say what she was about to say.

Shi Meitong's face instantly turned bright red. She turned her head away, avoiding Yun Ziling's gaze. "You're just a kid, don't overthink it. What could Chen Xuan and I possibly have? We're just chatting and getting to know each other."

Yun Ziling persisted, "( ), don't lie to me. I... I know perfectly well. Do you have a crush on Chen Xuan?" Yun Ziling's eyes held both curiosity and a hint of anticipation.

"what?!"

Shi Meitong felt a surge of panic. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to explain this complicated situation to Yun Ziling.

After thinking for a moment, she sighed, "Ziling, there are some things you don't understand. The relationship between Chen Xuan and me is indeed a bit delicate, but it's not as simple as you think."

Yun Ziling pouted, "( ), okay, stop keeping me in suspense. I'm getting so impatient, stop teasing me. What about you and Chen Xuan? What does Chen Xuan think of me?"

"what?!"
