Touya Yaoyao

To be honest, Bai Taoya wasn't very good at seducing people, so when Bai Juncheng casually said those words, Bai Taoya was first shocked, and then her face turned bright red.

Bai Juncheng had clearly anticipated Bai Taoshi's shyness. He looked at Bai Taoshi with disdain and couldn't help but tease him:

"What?! You don't actually think that only women can seduce men, and men can't seduce women, do you?!"

To be honest, this was the first time Bai Taoshi had heard such a fresh and unconventional argument, and Bai Juncheng was clearly not saying it to show off, so he pondered for a moment before speaking:

"What about later?! Go find some wine, have a drink. Ideally, drink until you look drunk but aren't really, then dress lightly and go find that girl, understand?!"

Bai Taoshi shook his head blankly, clearly not understanding why he was being told that. Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Taoshi with disappointment and couldn't help but whisper a hint:

"Are you stupid? Do men and women only say things they shouldn't say or do things they wouldn't normally do when they're drunk? Judging from your expression, you probably haven't even confessed to that girl yet!"

Bai Taoshi met Bai Juncheng's utterly disdainful gaze and awkwardly turned his face away, clearly acknowledging the situation. Bai Juncheng, looking at Bai Taoshi's bewildered and naive expression, sighed and said succinctly:

"Look at how that girl treats you. Does she think she knows you like her?! You haven't even confessed, how would she know you like her?! You don't really think you can just stay by her side like this forever, do you?!"

Bai Juncheng was right. Bai Taoshi really did intend to do it. According to his logic, as long as he cut off all of Yu Yaoyao's choices, she would only have the option of choosing him.

But he still harbored a faint hope that he and Yu Yaoyao were in love with each other, because he preferred mutual affection to being forced into a relationship.

Bai Juncheng naturally understood Bai Taoshi's thoughts, but he also knew that when it came to matters of the heart, no one could explain it clearly. Just like back then, he always thought that Zhao Hede was in love with him, which was why she pursued him, chased after him, and threw herself into his arms.

Therefore, when he learned that the other person actually had someone they liked and only chose him because of power, he felt used and betrayed, which is why he found it so hard to accept.

But now, he's figured it out. So what if she's been used? So what if she's been betrayed? They've been married for so many years, their son is an adult now. Even if Zhao Hede has a white moonlight (a love interest), so what?

What he could give, the white moonlight couldn't, that's why Zhao Hede chose him, right?

Zhao Hede would rather accept a marriage without love than be with her white moonlight, which suggests that her love for him was insignificant.

Not to mention, the Emperor of Zhao can only have one partner in his lifetime. So what if she doesn't love him?!

Can the status quo be changed?! Can she be with her white moonlight?! No, from the moment they got married, Zhao Hede was destined to have only one man in her life, and he could only be buried with her after she died.

If that's the case, whether Zhao Hede's heart is with him or whether she loves him or not is not important. Because compared to the torment and longing after their separation, Bai Juncheng feels that he wants to be closer to Zhao Hede and make up for the more than ten years they missed.

As for the "white moonlight," isn't it true that what you can't have is the moonlight? No matter how much you yearn for her, isn't she still your wife, your lover, your spouse?

In the end, one still has to enjoy the pleasures of love and intimacy with one's spouse. One still has to be with their spouse, watching children and grandchildren surround one's knees. Even in death, one still receives incense offerings and is worshipped by descendants.

Why bother with all that? He's the person, the power and wealth are his, and the position belongs to him alone. Does it matter where his heart is?

Therefore, when he realized that Bai Taoshi liked Yu Yaoyao, he decided to find a way to make Bai Taoshi's wish come true. He could see that Bai Taoshi really liked that girl, otherwise he wouldn't have shamelessly gone up to her and even forced her to get close to him.

As his son, self-respect is naturally more important than anything else. Since Bai Taoshi is willing to put aside his self-respect and want to get involved with Yu Yaoyao, why shouldn't he, as an elder, give him a push?

Although he thought Yu Yaoyao was just okay in appearance, since Bai Taoshi liked her, he, as an elder, wasn't the kind of person to break up a couple, so why not let them be together?

However, Shiratoshi's low emotional intelligence is also a problem, and he still needs to be taught. Otherwise, if he fails to win over his wife and is instead rejected by her, wouldn't that make him seem like a failed father?

With nothing to do, Yu Yaoyao spent nearly an hour reading in the library. Just as she was about to get up to get a new book, her phone rang.

She subconsciously took out her phone to check, only to find it was an unfamiliar number. Yu Yaoyao frowned and then hung up.

Yu Yaoyao never answered calls from unknown numbers, so Bai Juncheng, who had just dialed her number, stared in astonishment at the phone that had been hung up. He looked at Bai Taoshi beside him, puzzled, and asked:

"What does this girl mean?!"

Shiro Touya glanced awkwardly to the side, muttering under his breath:

"That girl doesn't like answering Mo Sheng's calls, so, you know..."

As he spoke, he handed over his phone, suppressing a laugh, and said:

"Use this one, it's more convenient."

Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Taoshi with a strange expression, pursed his lips, then took Bai Taoshi's phone and continued to call Yu Yaoyao.

This time, instead of hanging up, he answered the call. Listening to the extremely calm voice coming from the other end, Bai Juncheng felt that this girl probably didn't have any romantic feelings for Bai Taoshi.

Clearing his throat, Bai Juncheng lowered his voice and explained to Yu Yaoyao.

He said he and Bai Taoshi were drinking, and Bai Taoshi accidentally drank too much. He couldn't take Bai Taoshi back to his room because he had something to do, so he asked Yu Yaoyao if she could come and take him away.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao instinctively wanted to refuse, since there were plenty of guards in the palace, why would they need her help?

But since the other party had already spoken, it wouldn't be appropriate to just refuse so bluntly. So, after hesitating for a moment, Yu Yaoyao decided to agree.

After Yu Yaoyao agreed, Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Taoshi with a smug expression, then tossed his phone to her. Bai Taoshi looked at Bai Juncheng's expression with bright eyes, showing a hint of admiration.

As expected of a seasoned veteran, his tactics are truly sophisticated.

Yu Yaoyao walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the small garden where Bai Taoshi was. As soon as she arrived, she saw Bai Taoshi lying on the stone table, with Bai Juncheng's coat draped over his body.

With an awkward smile, Yu Yaoyao pulled Bai Taoshi's arm and hoisted him up.

Watching Yu Yaoyao slowly lead the person away, Bai Juncheng felt a pang of guilt, but it vanished in a second.

Yu Yaoyao pulled Bai Taoshi along for a long time before finally arriving at Bai Taoshi's bedroom, which Bai Juncheng had mentioned. She supported Bai Taoshi to prevent him from falling while opening the door with a frown.

Yu Yaoyao wondered if it was just her imagination, but she kept feeling that Bai Taoshi was pretending to be drunk because his eyes seemed to be looking at her from time to time, but when she looked closely, he had his eyes tightly closed.

After finally opening the door, Yu Yaoyao dragged Bai Taoshi inside. She managed to pull him to the bedside, but before she could even make a move, he suddenly pressed her down onto the bed with a powerful force.

The heavy male body almost suffocated Yu Yaoyao. She subconsciously tried to push him away, but found that she couldn't. Helpless, she could only move little by little, trying to break free of the restraint, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"夭夭"

In a low, gentle, tender, and deeply affectionate voice, Shirato suddenly called out, then muttered:

My Yaoyao

As he spoke, he subconsciously propped himself up, looked at Yu Yaoyao lying on the bed, smiled foolishly, and then reached out to touch Yu Yaoyao's face, full of affection and contentment.

"It's my Yaoyao."

Yu Yaoyao didn't understand what the other party was doing, so she could only look at Bai Taoshi who was so close to her and subconsciously moved her wrist.

Shiro Touya looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and moved closer to her.

It was an almost suffocating and brutally reckless kiss, with the ferocity of a wild beast tearing its prey apart. Yu Yaoyao's attempts to dodge and resist were futile; instead, she was held even tighter.

"A cunning and despicable man," was Yu Yaoyao's final thought.
