Fearing he might have reservations, she added fuel to the fire, "I'm too tired today. If another assassin comes tonight, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to fight back!"

This is indeed a problem!

Xia Xiunian was torn between his inner thoughts and his own. He looked down and slightly hunched over.

"Then... I'll just sleep on the floor in your room!"

Given this situation, why bother sleeping on the floor?

Li Yunyan pulled him back onto the bed and then drew the bed curtains.

In the small space, only the two of them remained.

Xia Xiunian closed his eyes tightly, his breathing was heavy, his heart was pounding like a drum, and he felt like he was about to turn into a beast!

Li Yunyan pounced on him. There was no better time than today. He had behaved well today, so she wanted to devour him!

"A-Nian," she called sweetly, "open your eyes and look at me."

Her breath lingered in his ear, and Xia Xiunian got goosebumps all over his body.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw Li Yunyan's upper body, now only wearing a light green dress, which made her skin look as white as jade.

She was leaning over him, and his gaze, slightly lowered, revealed her beauty in its entirety.

"Yanyan!" He gripped the blankets tightly with both hands, and whispered in frustration, "I'm not a saint!"

"I don't want you to be a paragon of virtue!"

Li Yunyan covered him with her body, kissed the corner of his mouth, and slowly placed her hands into his large palms, intertwining her fingers with his.

"A-Nian, I want you to love me."
