See? The fox's tail is showing!

These two are definitely up to something.

He slowly walked to her side, his fingertips lightly touching Xu Lan's shoulder, his words carrying a hint of barely perceptible doting affection.

"Don't rush, Xu Lan, take care of yourself first. Here, let me dry your long hair for you, so you don't catch a cold, or you won't look beautiful."

After saying that, he quietly stood to Xu Lan's side and naturally picked up the hair dryer. His movements were both gentle and skillful. All of this seemed to be the most ordinary little happiness between them.

His demeanor was gentle and refined, but the possessiveness that inadvertently surfaced in his eyes was like an undercurrent.

Lin Yuan held a hairdryer, the warm air gently flowing through her damp hair. He seemed to be operating it casually, but in fact, every breath contained his delicate care for her.

This heartwarming scene is the most simple yet touching chapter in their past daily lives.

"Which room are you planning to stay in tonight?"

Xu Lan's expression paled slightly under the light.

She gently bit her lower lip, her voice as soft as a whisper, yet unusually resolute: "Brother Lin Yuan, you have to listen to this. I... have already filled my heart with someone."

Lin Yuan's hand suddenly stopped, and the hair dryer also fell silent. It seemed as if even the flow of air had frozen.

His eyes widened in surprise, only to be replaced by a mixture of anger and disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Xu Lan mustered her courage, took a deep breath, and met Lin Yuan's gaze with unwavering determination.

"There is someone else in my heart, not you."

Lin Yuan's face instantly darkened. He abruptly threw down the hairdryer, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Xu Lan, are you kidding me? You have someone in your heart? Who is it?"

Xu Lan was startled by his sudden outburst, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Brother Lin Yuan, please don't be like this. I just want to tell you that there will be no romantic feelings between us."

Lin Yuan didn't believe it at all. He grabbed Xu Lan's wrist, his eyes revealing a domineering aura.

"Impossible! Xu Lan, don't forget, we're childhood sweethearts. You've been mine since we were little, and now you want to run away? No way!"

Xu Lan was in pain from his grip, but her eyes showed a stubbornness: "Lin Yuan, let go of me! This will only make me hate you more!"

Lin Yuan's face instantly turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, besides your body, right? Then I'll show you what's going on!"

He abruptly released Xu Lan's wrist, turned around and walked to the center of the living room, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

"Xu Lan, do you think the person in your heart can protect you forever? Let me tell you, no one can take you away from me!"

Xu Lan's face turned pale instantly. She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling with pleading, "Brother Lin Yuan, please don't force me, okay?"

Lin Yuan didn't care at all, and instead laughed even more arrogantly: "Force you? Haha, Xu Lan, you did it voluntarily, didn't you? Anyway, I, Lin Yuan, never force anyone!"

Lin Yuan stood in the center of the living room, his hands behind his back, his eyes radiating an air of "I am the best in the world".

He looked around, imagining himself as the domineering CEO of this mansion, and a sly smile crept onto his lips.

He deliberately raised his chin high and said in a "I'm the protagonist" tone, "Xu Lan, don't forget, this is my territory! If you dare to resist, I can't guarantee what will happen!"

Xu Lan was so amused by his appearance that she almost burst out laughing.

But he quickly regained his serious expression, subconsciously took a step back, gripped the hem of his pajamas tightly with both hands, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was secretly pleased, thinking that Xu Lan had been frightened by him.

He mustered his courage, quietly leaned close to Xu Lan's ear, his voice low and slightly magnetic, tinged with a deliberate teasing.

"Xu Lan, this quiet night, with only the two of us in this huge house, why not... spend the night together? Don't worry, I know my limits, at most I'll just spoil you rotten."

When he said "extremely doting," he deliberately drew out the syllables, his tone carrying a subtle teasing undertone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lan suddenly looked up, a fleeting look of surprise and panic in her eyes quickly disappearing before she regained her usual composure.

She gave Lin Yuan a light glare, her tone tinged with reproach: "Brother Lin Yuan, have you taken the wrong medicine today? How can you say something like that?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and patted his head.

"Haha, Sister Xu Lan, are you praising me for returning to simplicity!"

Xu Lan was amused and exasperated by him. Just as she was about to retort, Lin Yuan grabbed her waist, his movements rough yet urgent, and dragged her toward the master bedroom.

"No, no, no, Lin Yuan, be gentle! My back is very precious!"

Xu Lan was pulled so hard she almost fell over, and she struggled to speak.

Lin Yuan looked at her with an innocent expression.

"Oh dear, Xu Lan, I'm just too excited. We've been childhood sweethearts, so this is only natural."

He deliberately emphasized the words "naturally", as if announcing something that was taken for granted, so that the two people at the door could hear him.

Xu Lan rolled her eyes at his amusement: "Come on, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Don't think I don't know what you're plotting!"

Lin Yuan chuckled and deliberately lowered his voice: "Hey, Lanlan, just give in to me! I promise I'll make you..."
