“However, you can’t let that guy surnamed Sang take advantage of you during this time,” Zu An said with a stern face.

Zheng Dan smiled and said, "Don't worry, he hasn't even held her hand."

Zuan was somewhat surprised: "Then why did you come to see me before..."

She came to seduce me back then, and she seemed very open, so I subconsciously assumed that she and my fiancé were the same. If I hadn't confirmed her virginity this time, I probably would have guessed even more.

Zheng Dan gave him a long look and said, "You still have something to say? I don't know what's wrong with me either. Every time I see you, I lose my composure. I came here to use my beauty to seduce you, but I ended up losing both my wife and my army."

Zuan laughed heartily: "This proves that we are a match made in heaven."

Zheng Dan smiled sweetly and nestled her face tightly against her chest.

"By the way, what was your initial reason for approaching me?" Zuan asked curiously.

"It's all because of the 7.5 million taels IOU from the Plum Blossom Gang. Countless families in the city are eyeing that lucrative prize," Zheng Dan said with an embarrassed smile, especially when he thought about how he had deliberately seduced him in the first place.

“It’s not just the major families, even the academy is watching.” Zu’an gave a general account of his deal with the academy. The two were so close that there was no need to hide anything from her.

Zheng Dan was both ashamed and anxious: "Fine, you didn't have that 7.5 million taels from the beginning. All this effort has been for nothing, and you deliberately didn't say so."

Zuan chuckled and said, "Back then, we were enemies, not friends. Why would I say anything? Besides, with such a beautiful woman throwing herself at you, what man would be stupid enough to expose her?"

"Aaaaah, I'll bite you to death, you bastard!" Zheng Dan lunged at him, baring his teeth and claws, while Zu An hurriedly dodged with a laugh.

For the next few days, the two tacitly continued to stay here, firstly to recuperate, and secondly because this was their most private space, where they didn't have to think about responsibilities, family, or any other troublesome matters.

When a young man and woman are alone together, a single glance between them can ignite a passionate flame.

After Zheng Dan recovered from her blissful infatuation, the two enjoyed a period of blissful, carefree days together.

From time to time, sounds that would make even passing birds blush could be heard from inside the cave, along with whispered secrets between lovers:

"If something unexpected happens in the future and I can't rush to take you away, even if you marry into the Sang family, you can't let him touch you."

Zheng Dan chuckled: "He's my rightful husband, aren't you being a bit unreasonable?"

"I don't care, it's just not allowed!"

"Then you'd better be on time for the wedding, otherwise I can't guarantee the success of such a difficult operation."

"You little brat, you're deliberately trying to annoy me, aren't you?"

"Oh, dear brother, have mercy!"

...

Unfortunately, the happy time was short-lived. A few days later, signs of soldiers searching the area appeared.
