His strong, powerful arms were placed on either side of the girl's face.

Gong Ning's eyes widened in surprise, then she giggled, her large, bright black eyes filled with purity and innocence.

They were completely unaware of anything.

It is the innocence and naivety of someone untouched by worldly affairs.

Gong Ning also retained the innocence and naivety of three lifetimes!

The man sighed, seemingly helpless yet relieved, and suddenly lowered his head.

He gently kissed the girl's forehead, his voice low and alluring, "Silly girl, you don't know anything, really..."

I really hate to part with it...

They went and destroyed it!

"Huh? What did you say? You don't know what?"

Gong Ning looked up at him with a puzzled expression, her pure eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

"It's nothing," the man said, gently pinching the girl's rosy cheeks with his long, slender, white fingers, then speaking tenderly and affectionately, "I'll give you a kiss as interest!"

Upon hearing this, the girl glared at him disapprovingly, pouted her little mouth in grievance, her face slightly flushed, and said in a spoiled tone, "What's wrong with you, Yan Jingzhou? You're so stingy! You even charge interest for playing a game! Honestly!"

"Well, I've already kissed her..." The man looked down at the girl's adorable face, his fingers twitching slightly, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. "How about another kiss?"

"Huh?" The girl's eyes widened.

......

As the surroundings returned to quiet, a few rays of dawn gradually appeared outside the window, tinging the indoor light with a light, pale blue hue.

The girl nestled quietly in the blankets, her face flushed.

Her bright, peach-blossom eyes seemed to be filled with shimmering water, rippling out in beautiful, enchanting waves.

The slightly upturned corners of her eyes were adorned with dazzling and captivating light, yet they also contained a touch of pure and innocent naivety.

She possessed a languid and delicate charm, as if "a maidservant helped her up, and she was too weak to move."

Yan Jingzhou's gaze was fixed, his throat bobbed involuntarily, and his eyes shifted away somewhat erratically.

Then, glancing at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, he immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Standing by the bed, he glanced down at the little girl who was curled up in a ball, covering her face, and said gently, "If you can't sleep, get up?"

"Hmm~"

Gong Ning responded softly, but remained huddled up and motionless like a little quail.

A faint smile flickered in the man's eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, turned, and went to the restroom.

The little girl got shy...

He's so lovable!

Want to bully...

——

In the main hall, Yan Jingzhou and his sister Xiao Yiting stood facing each other.

Gong Ning deliberately lingered in the bedroom for nearly an hour. Finally, her stomach started growling with hunger, and she opened the door with a flushed face, her round, dark eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

The corridor was silent. Gong Ning placed her hand on her heart and patted it a few times before taking a deep breath.

She kept telling herself that Yan Jingzhou had already left for work, that she wouldn't see him, wouldn't see him...

With a wary expression, Gong Ning moved with the stealth of a cat, her movements so subtle they barely attracted attention.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw everyone in the living room staring at him.

There's Aunt Rong, Butler An, Yan Jingzhou...

There were also two people who looked somewhat familiar.

Oh, right, it's Xiao Yiting and Xiao Yisheng, the one she hit on the head with her shoe...

Gong Ning froze on the spot, her dark, bright eyes blank for a few seconds before a hint of wariness flashed through them.

She quickly glanced down at her clothes and found nothing amiss, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as it doesn't involve anything that damages her image...

Then none of that is a big problem!
