"I only want you."

Dou Shiliu gazed intently at Han Xiao, as if trying to etch him into his heart. His eyes were fixed solely on Han Xiao, the light in his gaze shining directly into Han Xiao's heart, making it burn with desire.

Originally, she would have returned to her original place after traveling through the three thousand worlds, but during this process, he appeared, which moved her deeply.

She was willing to accompany him through these mortal realms, until the final mission was completed and she forced him to hand him over to the system, so they could return to the upper realm together.

"Cough cough"

Qi Yexuan coughed twice in a mock manner.

They're all still here.

It's likely that Michelle Ye has something she wants to tell him, given her unusual behavior today.

Put Bean Sixteen in his room

"Go to sleep first, I'll be there in a bit."

He patted her head, his eyes filled with warmth.

"Um"

She was also sleepy, and she wasn't stupid; after all, although Qi Yexuan acted normally, there was an indifference in her eyes that she couldn't quite describe.

Turning away, Han Xiao gently closed the door, peering through the crack at Dou Shiliu lying obediently on the bed. He chuckled softly, then slowly closed the door, pulling the handle shut behind him.

Upon entering the spacious living room, Qi Yexuan, who had been laughing and joking like a child, had already reverted to her cold and indifferent demeanor.

She lay languidly on the fur sofa, her delicate eyebrows and eyes framing her face as she silently watched Han Xiao.

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously. His mother was the kind of woman who could change her attitude at any time. He simply took a wine glass and poured himself a drink.

Would Father like a drink?

Han Silong didn't answer, and Han Xiao ignored him, poured a glass of red wine, and gently swirled it to let the sediment settle.

"Son, are you sure?"

Taking a sip of red wine, Han Xiao chuckled at Qi Yexuan's serious expression, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Um"

Hearing the lukewarm words, Qi Yexuan still sighed inwardly.

Protecting someone is exhausting.

Even though Han Silong tried his best to protect her back then, wasn't she still kidnapped several times?

The Han family is a prominent family that attracts attention, and she really didn't want the woman standing behind Han Xiao to be an 18-year-old girl.

"easy"

Hearing her son's arrogance, Qi Yexuan felt a headache coming on. Why did such a shrewd person have to drag a young girl into this mess?

Qi Yexuan wasn't one to break up couples, but she knew that if Han Yiguo were to meet with misfortune, her son would absolutely be devastated.

She didn't want this.

When he opened his mouth as if to say something

Han Silong stopped her from speaking, his gaze drifting to Han Xiao.

I hope you can be even better than I was back then.

"nature"

His father couldn't have put his mother in danger back then, and while it's true that like father, like son, he's not like him; he's not that stupid.

Han Xiao's eyes said it all. Han Silong remained silent. "Arrogant brat, you only understand now that you've lost me," he thought.

He left with his wife, looking arrogant.

Before leaving, I said something at the door.

"Older men should get married early, otherwise the woman will run away."

Then the couple, hand in hand, disappeared into the villa.

Han Xiao agreed with his father's words, considering he was 29 years old.

Cough cough, he would never admit that he's really old.

The next day

Dou Shiliu received a package containing a sandalwood box. She's been buying random things online lately, since staying home with all that stuff is incredibly boring.

Holding scissors, snip snip

She quickly unwrapped the flat packaging paper, revealing a small purple sandalwood box containing a sachet with perfume inside.

A pale purple gauze membrane with silver ribbons, inside which are clusters of small, dried white flowers.

Dou Shiliu took it and sniffed it. The scent was light, refreshing, and quite pleasant.

How could it not smell good? A scented sachet created in collaboration with a renowned perfumer and a floral expert is worth ten thousand RMB!

Bai Tuan thought it was such a waste!

Only its main deity can afford to raise it.

Turning my gaze to the perfume, the delicate and petite animal-shaped bottles looked absolutely adorable.

I sprayed a tiny bit, and it smelled different from the sachet.

This is the candy flavor chosen by Dou Shiliu. Even just a little bit has an extremely rich flavor.

Today she happened to be wearing a lemon-colored dress designed by a fruit-loving designer. The skirt was turned inwards, making it look like an egg. On her feet were the doll shoes that Han Xiao bought for her. The black lace trim made her snow-white skin look even more radiant and translucent.

The headband was also pale yellow with two leaves on it. Her long, thin hair was tied into a small flower bud on top of her head, and a few wisps of hair were by her ears, framing her slightly chubby face. Her round, baby-faced features paired with her bright, sparkling eyes made her look incredibly cute.

The perfume made her look like a lemon, sweet and sour, even more adorable and endearing, making you want to take a bite.

Dou Shiliu played with it for a while, then lost interest, put it away on the dressing table, and lay on the bed in a daze.

Han Xiao is in his study. Should she go find him? But he has so many documents; if she goes, it will probably bother him.

Hmm, I think I'll pass.

I lay on the bed for a minute, but it was too hot to fall asleep. Two minutes later, I still couldn't sleep.

Five minutes later

Dou Shiliu jumped out of bed; she was going to find Han Xiao.

Who cares if he calls or not?

As soon as I stepped outside, I felt the heat in my body dissipate a little by the breeze in the corridor.

Inside the study, Han Xiao signed her name meticulously, wearing gold-rimmed glasses to protect against radiation, while a video conference was in front of her.

"Let them buy that area directly, turn it into a new hotel, and develop entertainment facilities next to it."

"You'll also be in charge of developing the next shopping mall, recruiting staff, and getting merchants to join."

"The last contract negotiation went smoothly; we now own the land use rights. Write a proposal and submit it to me tomorrow."

"This concludes today's meeting. Please submit the summary to the secretary. Are there any further questions?"

The people in the video all said they were perfectly fine and wanted this ordeal to end quickly!

Han Xiao turned off the video conference, took off her glasses, and rubbed her tired eyes.

"Han Xiao"

A gentle voice reached Han Xiao's ears, clear as a mountain spring, soothing his weary nerves and relaxing him considerably.

As Dou Shiliu opened the door and came in, their breathing became synchronized, a refreshing sweetness filled their nostrils, and their throats moved slightly.

She's especially sweet today.

"Han Xiao—I'm in pain."

Dou Shiliu threw herself into his arms, her eyes misty as she gazed at the exquisite man. Her small hands explored his body, tracing his lean, muscular abs, and the desire in her eyes grew ever stronger.

Han Xiao awkwardly restrained her flailing little hands, panting heavily.

"Cold-Clad Fruit, do you know what you're doing?"

He's so passionate, he can't resist taking her in.

Dou Shiliu had long wanted to devour Han Xiao, and now, with the added power of the medicine, his desire to consume him burned even stronger within him.

She didn't hear a word Han Xiao said, and pounced on the cannon fodder!

Seeing Dou Shiliu's unusually rosy complexion, Han Xiao would have thought he'd lived in vain if he didn't still be confused about what was going on.

But where would you get the aphrodisiac?

How did they get in? How did they do it? Han Xiao's cold eyes grew increasingly icy.
