In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

The sky was already a hazy gray, and candles were lit inside the house.

The man's slender, bony fingers gleamed softly in the firelight as he gently slid them across the woman's cheek.

The woman, who was sleeping restlessly, frowned, clearly displeased.

"... "

The man smiled as he watched the woman furrow her brows in displeasure, then mischievously stroked her forehead.

"Tsk!"

Qiao Wanwan was woken up by being touched, and she was about to open her eyes and curse.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified handsome face, which startled her so much that she stepped back.

"Wow!"

Huh?

Thank you so much... Thank you, Xie Ze!

At this moment, the man propped his head up with his hand, half-lying on Qiao Wanwan's bed, his alluring eyes staring straight at her.

Why was he in her bed, and so close to her?

Could it be...they!

Qiao Wanwan was shocked. She quickly sat up, grabbed the blanket, and looked down.

"... "

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The woman breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The man opposite him narrowed his deep eyes slightly, then sat up, his dark hair cascading down to his shoulders.

He stared intently at the woman, who tried to escape his gaze, and gently called to her with a slight smile:

"Wanwan, what's wrong?"

The man's call to her was like a ghost haunting her, making her whole body go numb, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Qiao Wanwan looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. She asked in confusion:

"What... are you doing here?"

"It's because I missed you that I came to see you at noon. I didn't expect Wanwan to be sleeping so well, and she even invited me to sleep with her. How could I refuse? So I stayed up with Wanwan for a nap. How was your sleep?"

"... "

Forehead…

She was also bored at noon, so she took a nap.

In her hazy state, she did seem to see him arrive, but she thought it was just a dream, which is why she boldly extended the invitation…

The man watched her staring blankly into thought, then smiled slightly and said something playfully.

"If Wanwan needs Aze to sleep, just call out and I'll come right away to sleep with you."

Qiao Wanwan blushed slightly and awkwardly refused:

"No."

"why?"

"Because we're not husband and wife, we can't sleep together; it wouldn't make sense."

"But Wanwan accompanied me last time too..."

How could it be the same as last time?

When Qiao Wanwan heard him mention the last time, she remembered her foolishness that night.

Just because you feel sorry for him, does that give you the right to be overly compassionate?

Of course not!

Although her soul is that of a 21st-century human, her body must still abide by the rules of the ancient times.

"No matter what, this is never allowed to happen again. And don't do anything intimate anymore either."

"?"

"Wanwan, why are you doing this so suddenly?"

"Because I feel we're crossing the line. We're not husband and wife, we just have some feelings for each other. It doesn't mean we can spend our whole lives together or that we can't be this intimate."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan said it against her will, but it was the best thing she could say.

She had already thought a lot about it. After all, the original owner's father was going to take her away soon, and she wasn't particularly attached to things like feelings, which were dispensable.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Wanwan knew that the other party wouldn't take it out on her like in the original story, so she gradually grew bolder.

She just wants to follow her own ideas and doesn't want to be tied down to one place.

The man opposite her had no idea what the woman was thinking. When he heard her rejection, his face darkened.

But upon closer reflection, he seemed to understand the meaning behind the woman's words, as if she was hinting at something to him.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He got it.

The man reached out and took the woman's small hand, smiling earnestly:

"Wanwan, if you mind, I can marry you and make you my wife. That way, whatever we do won't cross the line, and you won't have to worry."

"!!"

Eh?

Qiao Wanwan was stunned by the man's sudden words.

Is he proposing to her now?

right?

"... "

Qiao Wanwan's two bright almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she stared at the man in front of her. His deep gaze seemed to hold endless affection, and a faint, sickly light flickered within them.

Qiao Wanwan's mind was in turmoil. At this moment, she was not sure how she felt. She seemed to be feeling excited, flustered, and afraid.

But she pondered carefully.

At first, I just thought Xie Ze was a villain, and that I wouldn't be killed by him just because I was nice to him.

The villains probably wouldn't understand this kind of feeling, since they like it.

In the beginning, she lied to the villain, saying she liked him, just to save her life.

The villain imitates her in expressing false affection, kissing her, but that's just an expression of dependence.

But now, he's actually saying he wants to marry her?

To be honest, Qiao Wanwan didn't know if his feelings for her were just a misperception.

Xie Ze, do you really understand what it means to like someone?

"Xie Ze, you..."

Qiao Wanwan had just begun her discussion when she was interrupted by noises from outside.

"Young master, I've finally found you. The master wants you to go to the pharmacy. Please come with me immediately."

The two people inside immediately fell silent. The man's face darkened, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

He strode off the bed, his slender body rising above it, and whispered something to the woman on the bed.

"Wanwan, wait for me to come back with good news."

"... "

What does he mean?

Is he going to talk to his father about this and ask him to stand up for him?

Don’t do that!

"Aze, wait a minute..."

Qiao Wanwan realized what was happening and ran out of the room, but the other person had already disappeared into the courtyard.

"... "

This is terrible.

Hearing the sound from the next room, Chunxia knew that her mistress had woken up, so she came out and greeted her with a smile:

"Miss, you're finally awake."

Spring and summer.

"Oh dear, Miss, why aren't you wearing shoes? Come inside quickly, it's chilly outside at night. I'll go get you some nourishing soup right away."

Qiao Wanwan was pushed back into the house, tidied everything up, and then sat down at the guest table.

The soup that Chunxia had given her looked very sweet and delicious.

"What kind of soup is this?"

"This is ginseng chicken soup that Young Master Xie asked Chunxia to make for you."

"Oh."

Qiao Wanwan didn't know how to feel.

Suddenly I feel like a terrible woman, not only did I deceive him, but I also recklessly accepted the kindness of men towards me...

What is she going to do?

Qiao Wanwan felt very irritated.

Should she agree to become Xie Ze's wife, or not?

Although she didn't dislike Xie Ze, she didn't want to live in the Xie family!

He humbly drank the nourishing soup, but his heart was filled with turmoil and unease.

Seeing that her mistress seemed to have something on her mind, Chunxia asked curiously:

"Miss, do you like Young Master Xie?"

"... "

When Qiao Wanwan was suddenly asked this question, her hand holding the spoon paused slightly.

Seeing that the young lady didn't speak, Chunxia continued with a smile:

“These past few days, Chunxia has gradually sensed that Young Master Xie seems to have feelings for you, Miss. If you also like him, please rest assured. Chunxia has already learned from the old woman that Young Master Xie has never had any other women in his life before. You are the first, and you will be the only one.”

Upon hearing her words, Qiao Wanwan realized that the other party had misunderstood her as being worried about Xie Ze's private life.

She sighed softly, put down the soup in her hand, and asked seriously:

"Spring and Summer, if we truly like each other, do you think we can really be together given our identities?"

"this…"

Chunxia thought about it carefully.

My young lady is the beloved daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance, but Young Master Xie is the son of a scourge on the martial arts world.

The two were born into completely different social classes.

How could they possibly be together?

Even if you really like someone, your parents probably won't agree, right?

Relax a bit. Even if your parents agree, what kind of rumors will circulate in the community?

Can the leader of the alliance maintain his impartial position in the martial arts world?
