Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

Jiang and Qiao pulled Fu Ting along, jogging to a very quiet spot. The Jiang family's main house was quite large, and this place was some distance from the main hall. Generally, guests wouldn't go this way.

Fu Ting sighed, stopped, and pulled his hand away from hers. "Alright, that's far enough. What exactly does Miss Jiang want with me here?"

"I miss you so much, okay!" The girl tilted her head slightly, staring intently at the man in front of her, a stubborn yet shy smile on her lips, and shouted without hesitation.

"..."

Caught off guard by the girl's blunt words, the man was stunned for a moment. "Stop messing around!"

"I wasn't making a scene. I really like you. You have no idea, I was unhappy the whole party before you came! I... I just like you!"

Fu Ting remained silent for a long while before speaking, "Miss Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Jiang and Qiao suddenly grabbed the man's large hand, holding it tightly and refusing to let go. Their eyes immediately reddened, and they looked at him with a wronged expression. Even their voices were tinged with sobs: "Fu Ting, you clearly know how I feel about you, so why are you doing this to me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sob softly, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Fu Ting frowned deeply. No! He didn't seem to have done anything, so why was this girl suddenly crying?

Did I speak too harshly just now? Or is she really that delicate?

Seeing the girl crying so sadly, Fu Ting was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

He gently patted Jiang Yuqiao's shoulder, trying to stop her from crying, but it had no effect.

The renowned Steward Fu, the second-in-command of the Demon Alliance, has handled countless affairs for Si Hanye over the years.

But when faced with the crying girl in front of him, he had absolutely no idea what to do.

"Stop crying, it's my fault, okay?" Fu Ting said helplessly, even though he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

The straight man's comments only made Jiang Yuqiao cry harder. Fu Ting felt a headache coming on; he really wasn't good at dealing with this kind of situation.

He took a deep breath and considered his next move, trying to keep his voice calm and gentle.

"Xiao Qiao, don't cry! I...I brought you a gift."

"Really?" the girl exclaimed in surprise!

Her face, which had been covered in tears, instantly broke into a bright smile. Fu Ting couldn't help but twitch his lips. This change of expression was just too fast!

"What gift is it? Let me see it quickly!" Jiang Yuqiao's face flushed with excitement as she eagerly urged him on.

He took a brocade box out of his pocket, gently opened the lid, and inside lay a delicate crystal necklace.

A golden sunflower pendant, its crystal petals shimmering! Just like her radiant smile when we first met…

Jiang and Qiao carefully reached out and stroked the necklace, their eyes sparkling with joy. This was the first gift he had ever given her!

"Wow, it's so beautiful! I love it!"

She looked up at the man expectantly, "Fu Ting, can you help me put it on?"

As the apple of the eye of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuqiao possessed countless precious items, but this gift became her most cherished treasure.

Seeing that she had finally stopped crying, Fu Ting relaxed and carefully put the necklace on her.

He made a circle with his arms, just enough to encircle the girl in his embrace. The two were very close, so close that Jiang Yuqiao could feel his warm breath on her ear.

A blush rose to her cheeks, and her bright eyes gazed at the man so close to her, intently putting a necklace on her.

Her gaze lingered on his handsome features, scrutinizing them inch by inch, until it finally settled on his tightly pursed lips.

Jiang Yuqiao felt her heart pounding like a drum, and her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, unable to extricate herself from her infatuation with his good looks!

Without thinking, I stood on tiptoe and kissed him...

A soft touch blossomed in their hearts, and Fu Ting, as if struck by lightning, stood there stunned...

Jiang and Qiao let the girl kiss them, since it was their first time, and they only touched each other lightly.

After regaining his senses, Fu Ting stared wide-eyed at the girl kissing him in disbelief!

The next moment, he frantically pushed the girl away, exclaiming in shock, "What...what are you doing?"

Jiang and Qiao's faces flushed crimson as they murmured, "What's there to say? You felt it all!"

After calming his racing heart, he said in a deep voice, "Child, don't learn this nonsense... You mustn't!" He clenched his hands, which were hanging at his sides, as if trying to compose himself.

"I'm not a child anymore, tonight is my coming-of-age ceremony!" the girl retorted unhappily.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang and Qiao moved closer, smiling brightly. "Uncle, don't you like this?"

He coughed and turned his head away from the girl's eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you can't do that to other people!"

Jiang Yuqiao blinked her bright eyes, looking completely understanding, and said, "If others can't, then this uncle can, right?"

Fu Ting “…”

After a long pause, he spoke in a hoarse voice, tinged with helplessness and exhaustion: "You know that's not what I meant. Relationships are complicated and can't be expressed through impulsive actions."

Jiang Yuqiao pursed her lips, looking at him with firm and passionate eyes: "I know, but I just like you. I fell in love with you the first time we met three years ago! I want you for the rest of my life."

The girl's confession was direct and bold; her love was like a raging fire, burning so intensely that Fu Ting was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jiang Yuqiao tilted her head and teased playfully, "Uncle, don't you really have any feelings for me? Then why didn't you dodge just now?"

The girl stared intently at him, as if trying to see through his eyes to his innermost thoughts.

Fu Ting's heart tightened, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Jiang and Qiao continued to press, "The famous Butler Fu, surely he can't avoid a little girl like me! Did he not realize what was happening... or did he simply... not want to avoid me?"

Her tone carried a hint of teasing and anticipation, as if she wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Since he doesn't dare to admit it, she'll help him admit it!

Startled by having his thoughts exposed, Fu Ting's expression stiffened! He then awkwardly turned his head and whispered, "We've been out for too long, it's not good for a lone man and woman to be alone together... I'll be going now."

"I do not care!"

The man paused briefly, then hurried away again!

Watching the tall figure flee in disarray, Jiang Yuqiao couldn't help but chuckle!

I reached up and touched the sunflower necklace around my neck, feeling a warm glow inside!

Eighteen is wonderful; it seems like all the beautiful things in life are waiting for her to experience, including a sweet romance...
