Lin Yuan's next actions became even bolder.

He stood in front of Xu Lan, a playful smile on his lips, his eyes revealing a malicious intent.

His fingers gently slid across Xu Lan's calf, as if exploring a rare treasure.

"Wow, your skin is so smooth. No wonder you're such a beauty."

Lin Yuan's voice, punctuated by a whimsical tone, was full of mockery.

Xu Lan, holding her phone, turned ashen-faced instantly.

Her eyes widened, filled with anger and shame.

Gritting his teeth, his body stiff as a stone, he wished he could break Lin Yuan's hand off immediately.

But Lin Yuan completely ignored her "glare" and continued to explore upwards.

"Brother Lin Yuan, that's enough! Stop making a scene and stop right now!"

Xu Lan's voice finally broke through the limit of her patience.

She glared at him, her eyes flashing with a clear warning signal.

Lin Yuan merely curled the corners of his lips slightly, a barely perceptible hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, are you angry? Don't be like that, I was just admiring your beautiful legs."

Xu Lan's face instantly flushed crimson, and anger surged like a tidal wave, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

Clenching his teeth, gathering all his strength, he suddenly swung his hand, and a crisp, loud slap landed on Lin Yuan's cheek.

The sound echoed for a long time in the silent room.

He gently stroked his slapped cheek, a playful look in his eyes.

"Wow, that was pretty strong. But this slap felt even better to me."

Xu Lan was so angry at his words that she couldn't speak. She glared at him fiercely, her eyes filled with rage.

Lin Yuan, oblivious to her anger, slowly rose, strode to the bedside, and pulled Xu Lan into his arms.

His movements were domineering and forceful, as if Xu Lan were merely a toy in his hands.

"Lin Yuan, let me go!"

Xu Lan struggled to push him away, but Lin Yuan held her even tighter.

"Xu Lan, stop fooling around."

Lin Yuan's voice was deep and slightly hoarse, revealing an undeniable determination: "You know perfectly well that I will never let this go easily."

Xu Lan struggled fiercely in his arms, but Lin Yuan's arms were like iron clamps, tightening their grip.

His lips gently brushed against her neck and ear, the soft touch like a feather tugging at her heartstrings, as if he were savoring this rare intimacy.

Xu Lan felt itchy all over from his rubbing, and finally couldn't help but let out a few soft moans, her voice filled with helplessness and resignation.

"Lin Yuan, you...you've gone too far!"

Xu Lan's voice was already choked with sobs; she felt as if she were about to be swallowed up by this sudden emotional storm.

"Wow, that's a pretty nice voice. Why don't you hum a few more times, and I'll record it as my ringtone."

Xu Lan's face instantly turned bright red. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could strangle Lin Yuan right then and there.

But Lin Yuan didn't see her anger at all; instead, he laughed even more smugly.

Just then, Xu Lan's adoptive mother's phone call continued.

Xu Lan hesitated for a moment. She didn't want her adoptive mother to worry, but Lin Yuan's actions made it impossible for her to speak calmly.

"Hello, Mom..."

Xu Lan's voice was somewhat intermittent, and Lin Yuan's lips were still gently caressing her neck, making her unable to help but let out a few soft moans.

"Lanlan, what's wrong? Your voice sounds strange?"

Hearing the voice on the phone, Lin Yuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile. He leaned close to Xu Lan's ear and whispered, "Hey, tell Xu's mother that I'm the one bullying you."

Xu Lan's face turned pale instantly, and she gritted her teeth.

But at this moment, she could only let him continue to hold her, her heart filled with helplessness.

"Mom, I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired."

Xu Lan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, her voice unconsciously trembling slightly.

"Lanlan, if you're not feeling well, go to bed early. Mom will call you again later."

"Okay, Mom, hang up now."

Xu Lan ended the call quickly and decisively, secretly letting out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Lin Yuan seemed to have seen through her little scheme, and a meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"Heh, you're quite good at lying. But if Auntie knew about what happened between us, she'd probably be furious."

Xu Lan's face instantly turned ashen. She gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, if you don't let go, I'm not done with you!"

Lin Yuan simply smiled, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Oh, that threat won't work. I, Lin Yuan, have never been afraid of anyone in my life. But you should remember, the women I, Lin Yuan, have set my sights on have never run away."

Xu Lan was so angry at his words that she trembled all over.

At this moment, she was torn, wondering whether to confess her love for Li Tianyi at first sight.

Seeing Xu Lan trembling with anger, Lin Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Oh, that expression is quite cute. Okay, don't be angry, I was just teasing you. But you have to remember, I, Lin Yuan, have never been afraid of anyone in my life."

At this moment, his breathing became somewhat rapid. Xu Lan's faint moans lingered in his ears like a spell, making his blood boil and making him wish he could immediately pin this beauty down beneath him.

A burning intensity flashed in his eyes, as if he could see right through Xu Lan.

But Lin Yuan knew very well that Xu Lan already had someone she loved, and that she was currently being controlled by her parents.

If she were to give herself to him, it would only damage the relationship between siblings.
